Trumpets 2009 – A year of Earthquakes

By


We saw 777 on the Feast of Trumpets on Sept – October 2008 announce the year of Financial Failure and Financial Bailout.

This is the anniversary week of that event and we in the past week there have been at least eight substantial earthquakes, three typhoons, and one tsunami — all heralding in a new year.

Three major earthquakes struck 15 minutes apart Thursday morning near the Solomon Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Quakes near Solomon Islands measure at 7.8 and 7.3 and 7.1.
Tsunami warning, watch issued for parts of Pacific; Hawaii under advisory toll from Indonesian quake hits 777. A government official tells The Associated Press that at least 777 people are confirmed to have died when two quakes struck.

Another Super Typhoon Philippines – Filipinos braced Friday to be whipped by powerful winds and pelted with rain from a 22nd-secondtyphoon in eight days, fleeing by the tens of thousands from low-lying areas and suspending cleanup operations in the still-flooded capital.Japan -Typhoon Melor struck south-west of Tokyo on the main island of Honshu, flooding roads, uprooting trees, and ripping roofs from houses shutting down auto production.One year later: Observers assess recovery since one-day 777 point drop of Dow Jones.  Last year was the year of financial meltdown as heralded on the Feast of Trumpets. “Once large numbers of people act irrationally, anything can happen,” the German official said. The stock market crashed a year ago; the Dow Jones industrial average shed 777 points on Sept. 29, 2008, the biggest one-day point decline ever of 7% on the S+P500. The drop came after the House of Representatives voted down a $700 billion bank bailout plan.

Radical Day in the U.N.

While the prophets of falsehood recognize the world is heading back to “monotheism” and accept their part in making that happen… Mr. Obama is selling out the people of God, and the property God calls “My land”

In his first address to the U.N. General Assembly, Obama sought to set a new tone in U.S. relations, moving away from the unilateralism of his predecessor. He coupled conciliatory words about a “new era of engagement” with a summons for other nations to shoulder more of the burden.

In declaring that it is time for Middle East peace “without preconditions,” President Obama used his speech to the U.N. General Assembly Wednesday to fire a warning at Israel that “America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements.”

Obama’s stark declaration, which drew applause, was coupled with a call for Palestinians to end their “incitement of Israel.”

But it was the use of the U.N. forum to carry the settlement message to Israel that drew the most enthusiastic response on the floor — and incredulous reaction outside its walls.

Obama just put Israel “on the chopping block,” said former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton.

Qaddafi attacks U.N. for 90 min.

Referencing Obama as “my son,” Qaddafi said: “We are happy that a young African Kenyan was voted for and made the president. Obama is a glimpse in the dark for the next four years, but I’m afraid we may go back to square one.

 Ahmadinejad

Ahmadinejad did not mention the uproar over Iran’s nuclear program, calling instead for global nuclear disarmament.

At the same time, the Iranian leader issued stinging attacks on the United States and its allies without calling them by name, prompting a walkout by the U.S. delegation.

Religious references.He called for a “return to monotheism and justice,” calling it “the greatest hope and opportunity in all ages and generations.” My bible agrees with him, except we serve a different monotheistic God.

And the media ignored Mr. Ahmadinejad’s lengthy references to the return of Imam Mehdi, the missing 12th imam of Shia Islam, in his UN speech. As a fundamentalist Shia, the Iranian leader wants to hasten Mehdi’s return and the Armageddon- like battle he believes will end the world and usher in eternal peace and justice.

Without such a belief, injustice and discrimination will not be corrected, he said.

The Iranian leader also peppered his speech with religious references, invoking the prophets of Judaism and Christianity, as well as Islam.

Ahmadinejad is absolutely right. The final showdown is not between Presidents and elected officials. It is between him who craves worship, and his prophet, and the prophets of the Holy one of Israel. That battle will come back to the beginning, long before democracy was a political system.

 


Peace in our time – 70th Anniversary of W.W.2

By

“Today marks the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the most terrible of wars. We are in Westerplatte, the symbol of heroic resistance against the stronger enemy,” Poland’s President Lech Kaczynski said while opening the international part of the ceremonies.

The shelling of Westerplatte by the German Schleswig-Holstein warship started at 4:45 a.m. on Sept. 1, 1939, and was long considered to have been the first episode in the Nazi aggression on Poland that started the World War in Europe.

Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk said during the Westerplatte ceremonies that the “biggest tragedy in the history of the humankind began in Gdansk on Sept. 1, 1939”

Meanwhile, we are buying peace in our time…The lessons of history are unlearned…on this very day.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Tuesday praised American Muslims for enriching the nation’s culture at a dinner to celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

“A few years ago,” Obama said, “he explained this view — and this is part of why he’s The Greatest — saying, ‘Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams — they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do — they all contain truths.'”

Ramadan, a monthlong period of prayer, reflection and sunrise-to-sunset fasts, began Aug. 22 in most of the Islamic world. It is believed that God began revealing the Quran to Muhammad during Ramadan, and the faithful are supposed to spend the month in religious reflection, prayer and remembrance of the poor.

But Gods calendar marches with a message unchanged…to those that will hear…

Interesting that this month of Elul is Gods call of Repentance to the assembly of His people, before Trumpets and the 7th month. This was the time of testing for Yeshua in the desert….while John the Baptist called a nation to prepare the way of the Lord. This is our month…for a watchman church who cries aloud and spares not …

There are wars coming – Wars of Nations and Wars of Religion and finally that final defeat – when the governments of this earth are forever taken from man…..

Dan 2v44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

Good for G.M. is good for USA – 40 days in bankruptcy?

By

It has been said “What is good for General Motors is good for America” – Chairman and CEO, Charlie Wilson, 1955. Today this could be, what is true for General Motors is true for America.

One bankruptcy expert called GM’s 40-day case the fastest ever for a company of its size. Spurred on by the Obama administration’s support, the bankruptcy process was two day’s faster than crosstown rival Chrysler Group 42-day time frame.

So what do 40 days in bankruptcy mean?

40 has always been a number of trial and rebirth. Even pregnancy is 40 weeks to birth. While some babies are ready to come out at 40 weeks pregnant, others prefer to stay in until 42 weeks pregnant. So it was for so many desert experiences that shaped history – Moses — Noah – Israel – and other desperate situations.

So does the 40 days stand alone, and the lesson is GM’s alone or she but a foretaste of the way ahead for the country she represents? Does she like the Phoenix arise reborn or does she merely point the road for all the arrogant capitalism, she stood for.

The two bankrupt autos are but the two witnesses to the road ahead for this country. Is praying for “God’s Bailout” going to rescue “Motor City.”

Intifada every 7 years

By

It is 60 years today – God established Israel with a UN vote of 33-13 with 10 abstentions (10=Minion)

When the General Assembly voted to partition the land on Nov. 29, 1947, it was clear it would set off a war between Jews and Arabs. After losing 6, 000,0000 Jews in the 6 years of World War 2 its 600,000 Jewish inhabitants huddled around their radios to listen to the live broadcast from the United Nations.

Israel has destroyed 606 BC – Jerusalem/Temple was destroyed 19 years later 587 BC.
Israel established 1947 AD – Jerusalem/Temple Restored 19 years later in 1967 – 6-day war.

9th Sept 1993 Oslo Accord came out of talks regarding Palestine (PLO) and a divided Israel.
7 years later that fell apart – Ariel Sharon’s notorious visit to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City on 28 September 2000 Day Before Rosh Hashanah 2000 – was the opening act of the Al Aqsa Intifada and all peace agreements and progress ended for 7 years.

7 years later the Intifada is over and the talks proceeded in Annapolis.

Its 40 years since the taking of Jerusalem/Temple Mount in 1967 today and TODAY is exactly 60 years since the establishment of the State on Nov 29th 1947 – Israel – Today they sign an agreement (shaking hands for the first time) in Annapolis to restart talks in two weeks to complete partition and perhaps allow East Jerusalem to go to the Palestinians.

Sept 1993 add 7

Sept 2000 add 7

November 2007 are the dates Israel gives away Gods Land to her enemies.

A statement, Various undersigned 29 November 2007 and The Electronic Intifada, 27 November 2007 The November 2007 London Conference. For decades, efforts to bring about a two-state solution in historic Palestine have failed to provide justice and peace for the Palestinian and Israeli Jewish peoples, or to offer a genuine process leading towards them. 

On Tuesday, 27 November, large crowds of Palestinians in Gaza poured out of their homes — as did their brothers and sisters in the West Bank — to protest what they call the “renunciation of Palestinians’ legitimate rights.”

Critics of the conference held large demonstrations and rallies in the coastal strip, voicing their strongly worded objections to the Annapolis gathering. “No recognition of Israel! No recognition of Israel!” thousands of Gaza residents chanted in front of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) building in Gaza City. A young woman taking part in a large women’s rally cried angrily, “We don’t want more alleged peace conferences, which bring us more suffering. We prefer poverty to accepting shameful peace.”

Jerusalem Day 2007

By

Tomorrow is JERUSALEM DAY – the Israeli government proclaimed the holiday of “Jerusalem Day” for the 28th of Iyar, corresponding to the date that the Israeli military liberated those parts of Jerusalem which had previously been in Arab possession.

In 1967 – 19 years after the establishment of the State in 1948 – The Israelis captured Jerusalem in 1967. For the first time in 2520 years, she was independent.

That follows the destruction of the Jewish state 2520 years ago by the Babylonians in 606 BC followed by the destruction of Jerusalem and Solomon’s Temple on 9th of AV 587 BC exactly 19 years later. Jerusalem was never to be under Jewish rule until 1967.

“This will be a sign to the house of Israel. Lie also on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of the days that you lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity. For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days; so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. And when you have completed them, lie again on your right side; then you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days. I have laid on you a day for each year” (Ezekiel 4:3-6).

Each day represents one biblical year. 430 years (390 years plus another 40 years). “And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins” (Leviticus 26:18; see also Leviticus 26:21, 23-24,27-28). 430 years – first 70 years = 360 years x 7 = 2,520 biblical years x 360 day = 907,200 days

If we work backward from May 14, 1948 and using this information the 907,200 days (2,520 years) prophecy, we arrive at 606 BC

Israel lost its independence in 606 B.C. but Jerusalem was left intact with the Second temple. The “desolations of Jerusalem” began with the annihilation of the city of Jerusalem and the Solomon’s Temple in 587 B.C. According to Jeremiah, it was punishment for not yielding to the “Servitude of the Nation” which began in 606 B.C., with the first siege of Nebuchadnezzar – 19 years prior.

On the morning of Shavuot, June 15, 1967 — just six days after the liberation of the Old City of Jerusalem in the Six Day War — the Old City was officially opened to the Israeli public.

In total, 200,000 visited the Western Wall that day. It was the first pilgrimage, en masse, of Jews to Jewish-controlled Jerusalem on a Jewish festival in 2,000 years since the pilgrimages for the festivals in Temple times Some wept, but most faces were wreathed in smiles. For 13 continuous hours, a colorful variety of all peoples trudged along in perfect order, stepping patiently when told to do so at each of six successive barriers set up by the police to regulate the flow

Enjoy the Day and ponder the fact that the generation that saw her restored would also see the end of the age.

I ponder the number 40 more so for it is a generation. God’s timepiece in the end times is Israel and Jerusalem the “cup of trembling” handed the nations.

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it…

Zechariah 12:2-3

 

Purim – a full moon and 14 days to elections.

By

Purim March 14th, 2006 and a full moon. The moon, like the church radiant, as she reflects the light of the Son to a dark world. Pretty words and wishful thinking….

Israel weeks away from elections and Hamas refusing to recognize their right to exist. Meanwhile, Iran accelerates uranium enrichment and the UN is divided over a unified response. Purim again 2500 years later, only the weapons are suicide bombers and atomic weapons. The calls still go out to “wipe Israel off the map!”

Where is the Esther – the church that can intercede and has the ear of the King? Where is the heart of the bride in times of such danger to our kin? She is rich and increased with goods and she has need of nothing. In the shelter of the king’s court and in the “house of the Lord” she will watch their destruction.

This Bride, this Body of Christ – who was to go into all the world and carry good news…. Commanded to go First to the Jew and then to the Gentile.
  • Sure the church carried a cross to the Jew. She carried the red cross painted on the steel shields of the crusaders whose sport was “How many Jewish babies fit on a pike?”
  • Sure the church carried a cross…..the priests waved the cross as the torture and fires of the inquisition burned the sons and daughters, of God’s personal friend, Abraham.

We’ve all read in the Bible that the wicked have no rest. But did you know that the Bible says God has no rest either?

Look at Isa. 62:6, 7:”I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord give yourselves no rest, and give Him no rest till He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.”

Isaiah says we should give God no rest.

First, Isaiah says God sets watchmen in Jerusalem. Verse 6 is written as Hebrew Poetry. The first and second parts of the verse say the same thing—using different words. But the second part adds more information.

In the first part, Isaiah says God sets up watchmen and they should never be silent.In the second part, the prophet says, “You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest,”

The word “watchmen” in the first part stands parallel with the word “you” of the second part. So you are the watchmen, who should call on the Lord.

Ezekiel also describes the work of watchmen. In Ezek. 33:2-9, the prophet explains the watchmen’s message. If he gives the message, he delivers his own soul from punishment.
The scriptures laid on us…our duty is clear. Is our heart with Gods people and with His work? Otherwise,  we stand guilty of their blood.

Both Ezekiel’s and Isiah’s watchmen are warned to “never be silent.” It is their duty of prayer and their warning that saves them. Will our warning and our intercession save them?

But we play tourist in Israel and buy pretty little shofars to play with…..The God of Abraham promised to save Israel. He also vowed to hold the church – The “watchmen” accountable for their blood, because as tourists we bought pretty shofars, instead of blowing them.

Jerusalem – A cup of Trembling?

By

How does a little country so dominate the news? Barely 7 million citizens. The leaders of Russia and France and Germany and England would not get the coverage Sharon got. Peace is paused as we await a man as forceful and credible to carry out the Middle East Roadmap.

Who protects Israel when the U.N. has a day of Solidarity, for the Palestinians with a map that omits Israel. Who sides with Israel when Iran wants nukes to “wipe them off the map!”

What do these major record-setting events have in common?

Nine of the ten costliest insurance events in U.S. history
Six of the seven costliest hurricanes in U.S. history
Three of the four largest tornado outbreaks in U.S. history
Nine of the top ten natural disasters in U.S. history ranked by FEMA relief costs
The two largest terrorism events in U.S. history

All of these major catastrophes transpired on the very same day or within 24-hours of U.S. presidents Bush, Clinton and Bush applying pressure on Israel to trade her land for promises of “peace and security.” We can correlate the USA sponsoring major “land for peace” meetings, making major public statements pertaining to Israel’s covenant land and/or calling for a Palestinian state, to these disastrous events. Hurricane Katrina got her name the day after the 9th of AV when Israelis were evicted from Gaza. Thousands homeless there – Hundreds of Thousands homeless here.

Are each one of these major record-setting events just a coincidence, or awe-inspiring signs that God is actively involved in the affairs of Israel?

In this book, Bill Koenig provides undeniable facts and conclusive evidence showing that indeed the leaders of the United States and the world are on a collision course with God over Israel’s covenant land.

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” -Zechariah 12:9
