Significant Signs Happening NOW!

The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. (Genesis 49:10 KJV)

Christ’s First and Second Coming

We know that our Lord and Savior’s first coming to Earth was about 2,000 years ago. Dr. Earnest Martin, author of The Star that Astonished the World, calculated the exact date of Jesus’ birth as September 11, 3 BC, sometime between 6:18 and 7:45 PM, based on Revelation 12:1, Genesis 49:10, and astronomy. Many other biblical astronomers agree on this date, also. He claims that the magi followed the planet Jupiter to find the newborn King of kings [wikipedia.com].

After an absence of 2,000 years, The Star of Bethlehem appeared once again in the sky on June 30, 2015! [Convergence of Jupiter and Venus on 6.30.15: The Return of the Bethlehem Star!] This was a significant sign to those watching for the return of Y’shua, our Jesus. It was around the time of this sighting almost a year ago that I began to earnestly watch for my Lord’s coming and look for any information that would point to it. This correlates with the preparation of the Bride! Esther’s purification and preparation process took a year! [Esther's 12 Months of Beautification]

Daniel Valles, whose website is informedchristians.com, also has a Youtube channel and has reported on the celestial signs connected with the coming of the Messiah. He is careful to admit that he is not making any predictions for he realizes that only our Heavenly Father knows the exact time of our departure from this world. In his chart labeled, Exodus II The Bride Goes to the King's House, he shows that the planet Jupiter (the King Planet) is in the constellation Leo (representing the Lion of Judah) during our month of June 2016 and will exit the feet of Leo by July 14, 2016. This celestial sign points us to Genesis 49:10 (see it quoted above). (For information on the meanings of celestial bodies go to his Celestial Warnings and Countdown Chart.)

He also notes that Jupiter has a 12-year orbit. Once it leaves Leo, it won’t be visible for 12 more years! This means WE ARE NOW WAITING ON THE LORD to catch us away!

The Waiting Pattern & Shadow

Moses waited 7 days

Noah waited 7 days

Rahab waited 7 days

Disciples waited 10 days

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1Th 4:16-18

Types and Shadows

Moses ascending Mount Sinai is a picture of PENTECOST and also hints to the Rapture (see Celestial Signs in Judah PDF chart).

The BARLEY HARVEST is a type of the gathering of the Bride (The Appointed Patterns Part II) and the story of Ruth is a picture of the Gentile Bride of Christ (there are, of course, Jewish believers in Christ as Messiah but the Church consists today mostly of Gentiles). “With the agricultural cycles this year in Israel, the wheat harvest was started back near the beginning of May, due to an early spring. This places the Ruth shadow pattern possibly before Pentecost this year, but it could also easily extend beyond Pentecost with her redemption and marriage. RUTH WAS NOT REDEEMED UNTIL RIGHT AFTER THE BARLEY AND WHEAT HARVESTS WERE COMPLETED (2:23) - BUT WHILE THE HARVEST WAS STILL ON THE THRESHINGFLOOR.” Exodus II PDF

So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law. Ruth 2:23 KJV

SO WHEN WILL THE RAPTURE OCCUR? “The pre-Trib Rapture is fully supported by Scripture…What is not supported is that the Rapture is in, or on, any of the specific Feast Days - it only implies and makes hints at [them]. The only one we have a clear(er) picture of is the Feast of Tabernacles, which the Bible clearly states will be celebrated during the Millenial reign of Christ (Zech. 14:16).” [Excerpt from informedchristians.com] For additional information on this topic go to raptureready.com. 

Mr. Valles notes that this unique lineup of Jupiter within Leo and then within Leo’s feet only occurs in 2015-2016 and IS A PERFECT MATCHUP WITH THE FEAST DATES AND BIBLICAL CALENDAR! PLUS IT IS AT THE EXPECTED LAST GENERATION END TIMEFRAME! [Watch Radar Update (17 min.)]

We may not know the exact day and hour, but we certainly can see the signs and know they are pointing to His soon coming to gather His Bride! Rejoice! And look up!

Prophetic Poem for 2016

Back at the end of December 2015 as I worshiped the Father through His Son, I was given a poem:

The days ahead will be full of dread
But I tell you--have no fear

Mountains will shake and the earth will quake
But I tell you--have no fear

Many losses shall appear
But many gains to hold dear
Touch nothing that is impure
See nothing that is evil
Taste nothing that is poison
I will guide you and hold you near

Seek My face continually
Keep prayers upon your lips
And I assure you, My love,
From Heaven you will sip

Taste only good things
Hear only good things
And you will see Good

Be kind to others
With My Love be smothered
And reek to High Heaven with Love

No other name than Jesus
Proclaim Him for He is
The highest of all sons

Keep faithful to Him in all things
He is Lord and King
For the victory is ours--
WE HAVE WON!


Several scriptures came to mind as I re-read this poem after writing it in my journal that day: Philippians 4:8; Psalm 34:8-19; Ephesians 3:1-19 and Ephesians 5:1-2.

Not only are these words of exhortation to think on good things, but they are His words of promise to allow us to sip from Heaven in the midst of turmoil!

More Encouragement

During this Passover Week the Spirit reminded me of this poem He had given me and said, "You will walk through fires and be unharmed. You will climb mountains and have the strength. You shall run and not be weary." 

I knew this did not necessarily mean literal fires and mountains (although it very well could), but was more likely referring to fiery trials and circumstances appearing as impassable mountains before me. 

At this writing many of the brethren have received words, dreams, or visions of warning of impending dangers both natural and man-made and I know that no one will be untouched for these things to befall us will be worldwide. In my bowels surged a familiar dichotomous emotion. It was the agony of knowing I must endure to the end mixed with the joy of His very soon Glorious Appearing in the Clouds.

Truly we are living in the Best of Times &
the Worst of Times~

Will Homosexuals Enter Heaven?

My friend Sharon and I were discussing what 1 Corinthians 6 meant. We agreed that truly ANYONE--no matter how far they strayed off the straight and narrow--ANYONE may be saved, born again and headed for Heaven (John 3:3; 1 Peter 1:23; Romans 10:9).  So what did Paul mean when he wrote:


Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate [malakos], nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 

Paul himself was guilty of murder in the past before accepting Y'shua as the Messiah (see Acts Chapter 7 and 8 when he was called Saul)!

The key is to turn away from the sin of our past:


And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 1 Corinthians 6:11-13



So what if a person does not turn away from the sin? If a homosexual continues in that lifestyle is that person saved? I agree with commentators who believe that only God Himself can judge if a person has truly been 'washed' and baptized with the Holy Spirit.

"Washed" precedes both, and so must refer to the Christian's outward new birth of water, the sign of the inward setting apart to the Lord by the inspiration of the Spirit as the seed of new life ( Jhn 3:5 Eph 5:26 Tts 3:5 Hbr 10:22 ). Paul (compare the Church of England Baptismal Service), in charity, and faith in the ideal of the Church, presumes that baptism realizes its original design, and that those outwardly baptized inwardly enter into vital communion with Christ ( Gal 3:27 ). He presents the grand ideal which those alone realized in whom the inward and the outward baptism coalesced. At the same time he recognizes the fact that this in many cases does not hold good ( 1Cr 6:8-10 ), leaving it to God to decide who are the really "washed," while he only decides on broad general principles. Blue Letter Bible

Next Paul exhorts those who believe on Christ to not forfeit their liberty by coming under the power of anyone or anything else!

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

The "power" ought to be in the hands of the believer, not in the things which he uses [BENGEL]; else his liberty is forfeited; he ceases to be his own master ( Jhn 8:34-36 Gal 5:13 1Pe 2:16 2Pe 2:19 ). Unlawful things ruin thousands; "lawful" things (unlawfully used), ten thousands. Blue Letter Bible 

The Spirit of Christ that dwells within those of us who have made Him their Lord empowers us to be overcomers (1 John 4:2-4)! There is much more, of course, that can be said of this. Life in this world is not easy. But life in the Holy Spirit causes us to supersede this world!


In this brief video Miriam Alexander shares her amazing story of how through her sincere relationship with God even during her time of lesbianism and using drugs she was powerfully delivered from it all!

The Bowl of Glory

Today as I meditated on my Lord and sought how to please Him, I believe He encouraged me to seek His face especially in the next three days as there were things He wished to tell me. As I thought on this, I believe He already began to reveal something to me.

"You see the excitement surrounding the Super Bowl. This is a sign of what the world will behold of MY Super Bowl. Starting in the Bible Belt I will pour out My Spirit like never before and there will be great signs and wonders. Be ready for I have called all who have yearned for this day to be a part of what I am doing in these last days. Look up! Look up! For your salvation draws nigh! I am the Lord your God and I shall have no other before me."

Then I was shown the significance of the 50th Super Bowl this year involving the East (Carolina Panthers), the West (San Francisco Stadium), and the Central United States (Denver Broncos). How the Spirit of God will pour out from East to West--HALLELU-YAH!

The 50th anniversary is signified by gold just as God's glory is symbolized by gold. The Carolinas, as represented by the Panthers football team, are considered part of the Bible Belt. Although I have lived longer in the Southeastern United States than my birth region of the Northeast, I was not aware until recently how the Southeast obtained the name of 'The Bible Belt'. It has obscure origins, but basically resulted due to the Second Great Awakening. 

The Second Great Awakening was a religious revival that occurred in the United States beginning in the late eighteenth century and lasting until the middle of the nineteenth century. While it occurred in all parts of the United States, it was especially strong in the Northeast and the Midwest.^{[10] Wikipedia}

The part of the country frequently referred to as the Bible Belt is the area that was influenced most powerfully by evangelical campaigns in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Ask Historians

Just as the glorious winds of the Spirit blew through the Northeast and down the Appalachian Region into the South and blew across the entire United States to Azusa Street, California, so will these winds blow again!

And again I cry, HALLELU-YAH!
 
As I was getting ready to post this, I did an internet search on the Azusa Street Revival and stumbled upon what I believe are two significant 2016 events:

The Historic Significance of April 9

Remember God is in Control--Including the Devil!

Recently I watched on youtube.com a video of David Wilkerson speaking in 1973 of the end times vision he received of the Lord. Below is the video starting at about the 37 minute mark. I wanted to share it with you because of the comfort, encouragement, and exhortation it provides simply by us realizing that GOD IS IN CONTROL!

What this means is that the true God YHWH limits what evil men or even the devil are allowed to do. To watch this 52-minute video from the beginning, simply click here

David Wilkerson is a man of God who is no longer with us but one whom I respect as having been a true lover and disciple of Jesus our Y'shua.





Starting at about the 40 minute mark, here is an excerpt of this message:

God has everything under control! Even the devil is under His control!

As with Job, he may touch every physical thing around you, but you hear this--satan cannot possess you or rob you of your faith in God! The devil's power is limited and even a baby Christian can put him to flight!

Resist the devil and he will flee! [James 4:7]

And God's message is this, "I have not given you the spirit of fear but of love and power and a sound mind." [2 Timothy 1:7] No matter how things look, all things are still working together according to God's purpose.

Let the dollar fail, let there be unemployment and pollution and inflation and wars and rumors of war. Let the fabric of society disintegrate. For the true child of God EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL. IT DOESN'T MATTER. NOTHING CAN HARM YOU. LOOK UP AND REJOICE AND BE HAPPY!

The future is in His control. He knows exactly when Christ will return...The nations are but a drop in the bucket. Don't worry about worldly powers. I'VE GOT IT ALL PROGRAMMED!

God is still counting the hairs on your head. He still counts the sparrows that fall...He still answers before He is called. He has given abundantly above what we could ask or think, so saints of God wake up! He's still saving and healing... So you can go to bed tonight and say, "God has everything under control."
