Earthquakes and Resurrections

PINPOINTING THE END OF THE AGE

PART 2—Earthquakes and Resurrections

Earthquake Indicators

When asked what the sign would be of His Second Coming, Jesus spoke of a grand convergence of wars and earthquakes being indicators of the Tribulation and marking its beginning.

But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end [is] not by and by.

Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Luke 21:9-11

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. - Matthew 24:6-7 KJV

All these [are] the beginning [archē] of sorrows [ōdin] - Matthew 24:8 KJV

archē—“the person or thing that commences, the first person or thing in a series, the leader; that by which anything begins to be, the origin, the active cause”

ōdin—"the pain of childbirth, travail pain, birth pangs”

Time and time again the 7-year Tribulation is compared to a woman in travail. We are seeing the warm-up contractions (or false labor) of this global travail that is to come in the form of earthquakes that are increasing in intensity and frequency EVERY YEAR!

Later in Chapter 21 of Luke, Jesus says that when you see this CONVERGENCE BEGIN it is time to LOOK UP!

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. - Luke 21:28 KJV

Earthquake Tetrad

Daniel Matson of watchfortheday.org points out that just as there was a tetrad of blood moons on Feast Days back in 2014-2015, there was a tetrad of quakes 7.0+ on the Richter Scale during 2017-2018:

Notice that the July 17, 2017, quake in Kamchatka, Russia occurred on the same day that Jews openly prayed at the Temple Mount since the Waqf took it over in 1967. (Related articles: The Times of Israel--Waqf; The Times of Israel 7/17/17)

The New York Times reported that 2017 Set a Record for Losses From Natural Disasters. It Could Get Worse. As I finish editing this article, my husband informs me that an 8.2 earthquake occurred in Fiji last night! I believe that 2018 will see an uptick in quakes including more 8.0+ shakings. 

Israel’s Earthquakes

Israel has recently been experiencing quake activity as well.

Several rabbis are pointing to last week’s rare lunar eclipse and continued earthquakes as a divine pre-Messianic wake-up call. [Excerpt from breakingisraelnews.com]

J. D. Farag pointed out that Scripture prophesies of a “shaking” to occur simultaneously with the Ezekiel 38 war (Ezekiel 38:18-19).

Revelation 6 Global Shaking

Resurrections to immortality are associated with earthquakes in Scripture. It is possible Revelation Chapter 6 describes a global earthquake that is coming when the Bride of Christ is resurrected and transformed at the Rapture. This worldwide shaking will lead to the 7-year Tribulation period; however, I am not certain whether the Ezekiel 38 shaking in Israel is associated with this global catastrophe or not.

As I’ve stated before, I believe America will 'lose her crown' before the Ezekiel 38 war begins. John Fenn was shown that our nation would experience two hurricanes resulting in expensive damages followed soon after by two devastating earthquakes (one near Seattle, Washington, and the other near St. Louis, Missouri). The first is in the Cascadia Seismic Zone and the second along the New Madrid Fault Line or Zone. 

A number of known men of God have shared their dreams and visions related to this such as John Kilpatrick, Shane Warren, John Paul Jackson and Sundar Selvaraj, but probably the first was David Wilkerson back in 1973:

The United States is going to experience, in the not-too-distant future, the most tragic earthquake in its history…I am not at all convinced that this earthquake will take place in California. In fact, I believe it is going to take place where it is least expected. (The Vision and Beyond by David Wilkerson...)  [Excerpt from Hair-Raising Significant Week]

Bob Barber of Endtime Dream & Vision YT Channel believes the New Madrid Earthquake will be part of the Revelation 6:14-16 global earthquake; however, I do not know whether or not either of the two quakes will be part of that worldwide shaking.

 
 
It has been prophesied that at least one great earthquake will occur in the United States prior to the Rapture, so we should be ready to walk by the Spirit and walk in Love when this occurs!

I believe some of the natural catastrophes may be judgments to awaken the world to the season we are in but that we have not entered the time of wrath yet. Judgment is a loving act of mercy intent on bringing people to repentance to avoid the punishment of wrath. Season of the Overcomer 

World War Looms

As we are seeing the soon culmination of The Fig Tree Generation, the “hook in the mouth” drawing nations to position themselves for the Ezekiel 38 war is becoming more and more evident. (See J. D. Farag's July 29, 2018, Bible Prophecy Update.)

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Luke 21:28-32

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. - Luke 21:36 KJV

Those who made Christ Lord (Romans 10:9) after the Holy Spirit came on Pentecost (Acts 2) are worthy to escape all these things not of our own worthiness but because it is Christ in us who is worthy!

Travail=Tribulation

I am hoping that Isaiah 66:7 refers to a DOUBLE fulfillment. The first of which is indicated in Isaiah 66:8 as the rebirth of Israel as a nation state (which was formally documented recently--again, refer to J. D. Farag's July 29, 2018, Bible Prophecy Update) AND the second fulfillment being the Rapture of the Church Bride before Jacob’s Trouble:

Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. -Isaiah 66:7 KJV

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne. - Revelation 12:5 KJV

If Isaiah 66:7 does refer to our Rapture then we are destined to be caught up before sudden destruction begins because travail equals Tribulation. Paul wrote that the day of the Lord will catch people unaware similar to how labor pains catch a pregnant woman off-guard BUT THAT WE WILL NOT be caught off-guard as to the timing of the day of the Lord! [Excerpt Escaping the Red Dragon]

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 1 Thessalonians 5:4

Seasonable Moment

I believe the Spirit of the Most High God is saying that on March 11, 2018, the anniversary of the 2011 Japanese tsunami, the prophetic amniotic waters of the world broke. This is a signal of the very, very soon travail coming upon the earth. Just as a woman’s labor typically begins soon after her waters break, so will The Tribulation begin soon! [Excerpt from End Time Birth Pains and Planet X]

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. - John 2:4 KJV

In Bullinger’s Companion Bible, he refers readers to his notes in John 7:6 which shows that the word “hour” = “seasonable moment”.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. - John 5:25 KJV

“The hour is coming” is a figure of speech called synecdoche:  Syn-ec'-do-che; or, Transfer meaning “The exchange of one idea for another associated idea.” Appendix 6 Figures of Speech From The Companion Bible

I believe this refers to both a transfer from spiritual death to spiritual life when one confesses Christ as Lord AND the transfer from physical death to eternal life at the Resurrection/Rapture of the Overcoming Church.

8/19/2018 -- Major Seismic Unrest--dutchsinse YT Channel

Resurrection/Rapture = Global Quake

Every resurrection to immortality recorded in the Scriptures was accompanied by an earthquake. There is a book written on this subject called Earthquake Resurrection. Here is a blurb from their site:

Earthquake Resurrection explores the possibility that the disappearance of a large group of believers worldwide will be masked by global catastrophe. This possibility is based on a pattern found in scripture that the power unleashed when a human being is resurrected into an immortal body causes a shaking of the surrounding earth. The pattern is evident with the two recorded historic instances of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the "many saints who had died" in Matthew 27, as well as with the resurrection of the two witnesses of Revelation chapter 11 in the future.
    What does this portend for the future, much larger, global resurrection of the dead in Christ? Will there be a global shaking of the earth from the power of the resurrection? What is the purpose of the "harpazo", the Greek term for the quick and sudden snatching or seizure of believers just after the resurrection of the dead in Christ? Is there some kind of harm from which they need be snatched away? What is the "trump of God" that accompanies the event? If God's voice was described as the sound of a trumpet in scripture, and in the past it caused Mount Sinai and the surrounding area to shake greatly, will this also occur when the trump of God is sounded at the resurrection of the dead in Christ?

In my article Event Horizon--The Resurrection I share about the research done on the Shroud of Turin wherein amazing hair-raising information was uncovered related to what happens when a person is resurrected to immortality. (A related article is Event Horizon--Sign of the Son of Man?)


Not Much Time Left

Just as in a natural birth the precise timing of a baby’s birth is unknown, so will the timing of the birth of the Overcoming Man Child not be known until it happens. All we know is we are in the season of the “seasonable moment” and there’s not much time left.

Because Psalm 90:10 tells us a generation is 70 or 80 years in length and because Jesus said (Matthew 24:32-34) that all of the end times events would be concluded within The Fig Tree Generation, there is only a short period of time left (2-3 years at most).

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. - Hebrews 9:28 KJV
