“If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

Earthquakes and natural disasters

New Zealand's coming disaster.

Do earthquakes and other natural disasters mean there is God's judgement happening, or is it just for the Old Testament. A question that has come into prominence in New Zealand recently. A well-known pastor has claimed that the earthquakes in Christchurch and other major earthquakes have been just that. He pointed out the statistics for Christchurch for numerous crimes was very high. That homosexuality and liberal humanism was also rampant. So I asked myself a question. Does God use these kinds of events since Jesus and the New Testament or do we just live in a world of time and chance, and it is inevitable that we will get hit by an earthquake in New Zealand. The islands have numerous fault lines running through them. We don't get many scriptures from a historical standpoint in the New Testament about earthquakes. We have, when Jesus died and gave his last breath, there was a great earthquake and the curtain in the temple was ripped. An angel came down from heaven and when his foot touched the earth, there was an earthquake and the stone blocking the door of the tomb rolled away. In Acts 16;26 there was an earthquake when Paul was in prison and the prison doors all opened. So, does God used earthquakes since Jesus came? The answer is yes. But is every earthquake an acted of God, probably not, but it is wrong to believe it never is. When an earthquake strikes, we need to search to see if God is saying something. There are several principles that transcend the old and new testaments. Leviticus 18;24-30 is one of them. If you practice wickedness, then the land will vomit you out when you make it unclean. A scripture used by the Pastor to back his statements.

What do we look for? To start with, why did the whole of New Zealand get to hear this warning. This pastor has a very checker past and should have been ignored. However, for some reason the entire of New Zealand heard it as it made the secular news. I do not think the devil would like this made public. It has the hand of God written all over it. As we rush headlong into the end of the age, there are numerous scriptures that say there will be a great increase in wickedness in the last days. 2 Timothy 3;2-5 is a perfect example. The result of which will lead to a great increase in natural disasters, and, of course, earthquakes is one of them. New Zealand has no exemption from this horrendous increase in wickedness that all other countries are suffering. In fact, we are probably worse than most countries. For nine years we had a gay Prime Minister who attacked the moral standards of New Zealand with her social engineering. Once she was ousted, we got what, we thought, would be a better government. However, we did not look at the principles of wickedness properly. Things like murder and adultery etc. are listed many times, but these are the result of the turning away from a more basic principle. Which is, love your neighbour as yourself. In the Old Testament it is spelt out a bit more and that is to look after the weak and poor, the widow and the orphan. Now, for the last eight years, New Zealand has suffered a government that has attacked these very foundations of God's purpose. As a nation, we have done very will financially, but this money has not got down to the poor, and we have large numbers of people living in poverty. We have seen recently this battle between the globalist elite and nationalism. New Zealand is totally controlled by the globalists, and we have seen our government follow a wicked Globalist agenda time and time again. The rich both in New Zealand and overseas are asset striping the wealth of the country. The result of this murderous agenda is tens of thousands of Kiwis suffering and dying before their time. Christianity in New Zealand has seen the collapse of faith in the mainstream churches. We have also seen the rise of the Mega church and the preaching of the new gospel. The 'all you need is love' or 'what you need is to enjoy everyday life'. Very few churches are full of life and power. The bible says this wickedness will result in natural disasters. Are the earthquakes striking New Zealand the result of wickedness? The answer is a great big fat YES.

 So the question is not “is this the result of God's punishment” but why Christchurch? Did Christchurch draw the short straw, and it was just bad luck, or was there more to it. The Pastor described the wickedness of Christchurch with a list of the main sins. But Wellington has far more people supporting liberal humanism and the Utopian agenda that goes with it. Auckland has a far greater Gay community, violence and other religions than Christchurch. The two things I see as the main reasons that Christchurch was chosen ahead of other cities are, The Wizard of Christchurch and his being made an official representative of the city. This is not just the one man but an organisation that has official pixies going all over the city casting spells and the Christians there have just stood by and did nothing. The formal worship of another God. B The appointment of a woman bishop to the largest congregation in Christchurch. This appointment is open rebellion to the word of God by most Christians in the city. They also had several court cases that resulted is unjust convictions of weak and defenceless people. These are real disaster resulting sins.

So where to from here. We have a Pastor being used by God to give us a warning for which he has been attacked. Not only by the secular media but by Christians and Christian media up and down the country. Now, to add more to this story, there is another way you can bring disaster onto your country. This is to do harm to Israel. Recently, a remit was put forward in the United Nations to split Israel up. To take away land and to split Jerusalem, and the country that put forward this remit was New Zealand. You would think that New Zealand would be friends with Israel, and you would be right for the people. However, our Government has been abducted by Globalist lapdogs who do what they are told. They have no idea of the calamity they can bring upon New Zealand.

Have the people listened to the warning, NO. Has the church listened to the warning, MOSTLY NO. Have we continued to act in an increasingly wicked manner, YES? There will be another major disaster. To date, we have been blessed with very little lose of life. If we do not turn dramatically back to God, the next disaster will result in massive loss of life.

GOD AND SCIENCE ARE NOT ENEMIES

The theory that the universe had a beginning, as opposed to just an eternal existence, is now mainstream cosmology. Mathematical models in the 1920s, derived from Einstein’s theories, predicted an expanding universe. Then Edwin Hubble explained that the red shift of light coming to us from other galaxies was caused by those galaxies moving away from us. Then in the 1960s it was discovered that the background temperature of the universe was exactly that which would be explained by a “very early and very dense state of the universe, which was predicted by the Big Bang model.” No less a person than Stephen Hawking says, “Almost everyone now believes that the universe, and time itself, had a beginning at the Big Bang.”

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1.

The Big Bang, this immense explosion of energy into matter, included photons – “Let there be light” – Shazam!

The fact that there was a beginning has significant repercussions, because of something called the Kalam Argument. This originated with a Christian philosopher and was then taken up by some Muslim scholars in North Africa at the beginning of the 12th century. The argument has three parts:

1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause.

2. The universe had a beginning.

3. And therefore, the universe had a cause.

The first part of the argument is not the kind of thing that can be proven one way or the other. However, in our observations of how the world works, the premise is constantly confirmed and never falsified, meaning that we have better reason to believe it is true, than to believe that it is false. As explained in the book, if we hear a loud bang, and you ask me what made that noise, and I say “Nothing, it just happened,” you’d think I was a raving loony.

And with The Big Bang accepted by most cosmologists as the theory that best fits the evidence as it is known today, it would seem that a cause for the universe is a very plausible theory.

Of course, a cause by itself does not automatically lead to a personal Creator, although apparently the Kalam Argument does argue for one. In my next post, I’ll cover some things that do indicate the likelihood of intelligent design.

None of the above constitutes proof of the existence of God. I don’t believe we will ever receive proof in this life, and I don’t want us to. As noted in a previous post, I believe that certain knowledge of the existence of God would give us the same status as Satan – who knew God, still rebelled, and has no way back. As it is, our rebellion is forgiven through our faith.  “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith.” Ephesians 2:8.

GOD AND SCIENCE ARE NOT ENEMIES – PART II

A bit more from the book I read recently – “The Case for a Creator” by Lee Strobel. In my last post, I quoted some scientific evidence contained in the book for the universe being caused by something.

 In the arena of physics, something called the Anthropic Principle points to not only a cause, but to intelligent design of the universe. The book says, “all the seemingly arbitrary and unrelated constants in physics have one strange thing in common – these are precisely the values you would need if you want to have a universe capable of producing life.” The probability of all these values occurring by chance is so huge that they boggle the mind.

For example, the force of gravity is precisely set to allow life – a breathtaking image given in the book, is that of a massive ruler that is the length of the whole universe, and is marked out in inches. The length of the ruler represents the range of force strengths existing in nature. Gravity is quite weak, while the strong nuclear force is 10 thousand billion billion billion billion times stronger. Increase the force of gravity by just one of those gazillions of inches on the intergalactic ruler, and life would not be supportable.

The cosmological constant, or the energy density of empty space, has to be fine-tuned – too strong, and matter would be repulsed so strongly that galaxies, stars, planets could not be formed – too weak, and the big bang would have been quickly reversed as all matter became subject to an immense attractive force. The fine-tuning is estimated to be 1 part in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000!!!

In physics, a phase space is a space in which all possible states of a system are represented, with each possible state of the system corresponding to one unique point in the phase space. The original phase space is the phase space for the properties of the universe immediately after The Big Bang. Eminent physicist Roger Penrose estimates that the accuracy required to fine tune the original phase space to the conditions that actually existed (and which went on to support life) is 1 part in 10,000,000,000^123. He goes on to say you can’t even write that number out in full – there are more zeroes in it than there are particles in the universe!

There are many more constants that need to be precisely tuned to an accuracy that, even taken isolated, seriously challenge the idea of our universe being created by random chance.

As I mentioned previously, there is no proof of the existence of God. Personally, having read this book and others by both Christian and atheist authors, neither do I see any proof of the non-existence of God. I am fascinated by the wonder of our universe and the beauty of our planet, and reading about all these conditions that need to be set just so, strengthens my faith. The apostle Paul wrote: “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.” Romans 1:20.

God bless,

BLIND FAITH, INTELLECTUAL ASSENT, AND SALVATION

In response to a “test” from a Pharisee (a leading sect of Jews in New Testament times who were focused on countless rules) Jesus said “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.” Matthew 22:37-38.

The bit that intrigues me is “all your mind.” I think that there is an idea out there that says in order to be a Christian, you have to turn off your brain and refuse to grapple with issues such as evolution and metaphysics. Another passage in Matthew (18:2-4) says that we will never enter the kingdom of heaven unless we become like little children, and this is sometimes used as a reason for settling for blind faith.

But I don’t think kids have blind faith. They are curious, they ask questions – any parent of a 4-year-old will tell you that “Why?” is their little one’s favourite sentence starter. Kids soak up learning and want to grow up as quickly as possible to be more like their Mum, Dad, or older sibling. I do think that they are trusting and accepting of their parents and teachers, and are likely to believe what they are told. But occasionally, you can almost hear the cogs grinding away in their heads as they absorb their new nuggets of information and work to fit them in with their existing knowledge and experience.

So I reckon that loving God with all our minds involves engaging the brain he created in us to work through issues and challenges to our faith. I want to know what Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking, Bertrand Russell, Richard Dawkins, and many others say about our world and about my faith. And like the kids, I would like to go away and let the cogs whir away until everything falls into place. Occasionally, my brain hurts! Occasionally, I encounter an issue that I cannot reconcile with my faith. When this happens, I am comforted by a story told by Paul Little in his book “Know Why You Believe.” He relates that in 1861 the French Academy of Science published 51 scientific facts that controverted the Word of God. But today, no scientist in the world believes a single one of those “facts.” I believe that one day, maybe on the last day, every scientific fact or theory that currently casts doubt on the existence of God will be explained.

However, “all my mind,” an intellectual assent to the evidence for the Christian faith, is important but not sufficient. I have to also love God with all my heart and all my soul. My heart is a metaphor for my emotional engagement with God – relationship building, awe, adoration, love, worship. My soul as used in the Bible is really my whole being. My body, my intellect, my emotions, my sociality, my spirit, all need to be aligned in an active full-on faith, a willingness to grow and learn, and a determination to hold on in the face of strong challenges. And like the kids, trust The Teacher when He answers my questions.

My report card says “Christopher could do better and needs to improve. He should pay more attention in class and work harder to apply learnings in his daily life. Luckily, he does not have to pass this test in his own strength.”

God bless,

Chris

“Fear God” the cry of the 144000

The 144000 appear not only before the tribulation but before the fall of Babylon the Great. Who are they, are they to come, or are they already here? Revelations says they are Israelites.  The Israelites were scattered over much of the world, so it could be anyone. But let us have a brief look at what happened to them. They were taken into exile around 800 BC by the Assyrian’s. The bible says they went to the northern regions of the Assyrian Empire. The records of the Assyrian's say the majority were sent to a northern region that was unpopulated. The mountainous area around where Georgia is today. A bit farther north than what the bible says. At this stage, people were just settling into Italy, as Rome was founded at the same time.  They had not spread far. There were probably 60 million people total at that time, and around 4 million were Israelites. As the nations spread out, this 6 odd percent of the world's population was a reasonable number and would have led to large areas of the world population today tracing their heritage back to Israel. They were still God's people and would have been blessed beyond others. There could easily be 20% or more of the world's population with Israelite heritage. Using old records and linguistics, they have been able to give us some idea as to concentration areas. Ephraim and England, Manasseh and the USA, Nathalie and Scandinavia. There are stories handed down through generations how Ruben went east and ended up in the China/ Korea/Japan area. The twist is there is no one from the tribe of Dan. Dan has been replaced by Manasseh, while Ephraim comes under Joseph. Why that is does that not fit into the criteria of this essay. However, there is plenty of information on the net.  In conclusion, you can see that the whole world has the potential to provide saints for the 144000. They appear in Revelations 7 and 14, and we can glean some information. I cannot find any other reference to the 144000 except in Revelations.

The Great calm happens, in Revelations 7-1. What is the great calm?  Is this to do with the weather? Rev 7\1 says After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. The weather is partly from the rotation of the earth, but mainly caused by the sun's energy hitting the Earth. If you hear the sun's activity has never been as quiet as this in some news report, that will be an event that could fit into the great calm. But it just doesn't seem possible. It is most likely to have some spiritual meaning. This calm is the signal that the 144000 are to appear. These saints are to receive a seal on their foreheads.

 The Lord and the 144000 stand on Mount Zion. Mount Zion can be seen as Jerusalem or the temple mount. In reality, Mount Zion is a concept and because it is a concept, it is not necessarily in Israel. They are to be blameless and have not defiled themselves with women. You do not defile yourselves in marriage. The blood of Christ makes you blameless. These are requirements that must be met. Now these saints are walking among us at this very time. You may be one, but how do you know? Have you met the above requirements? Lastly, there is a song that only you can learn. This is the test that you can apply that finds out false witnesses. What is the song? Only the 144000 will know it because it will be on their hearts. In fact, the 144000 are walking around right now.

What will they preach?

Rev 6. Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.”

Rev 14 is about the 144000 and the message of the angel must also be their message.  The desire to start preaching the message that the first angel declares. That is three things. Fear God, this is a fundamental problem of the world today. We have lost the fear of God. There is the fear in the sense of awe and wonder, and there is a fear of God because he is a judge who will punish you for wicked behaviour. This has happened because of the new Gospel that is preached. A Gospel that only looks at the good things of the Christian walk and avoids at all cost there are consequences for what we do. Do you fit the criteria and have this desire to preach “Fear God” and “give glory to God and Judgment is here”? The cry fear God is here to keep us safe from being deceived. Secondly, we are to give glory to God and worshipping him keeps us close to him. Thirdly, they are to preach the hour of judgment has come. This is something we can place a time for. In the 1970s, we had a shape increase in the preaching and books on the second coming of Jesus is about to happen. Hal Lindsay’s The Late Great Planet Earth was a bestseller. Hal still preaches much the same things. Most of it wrong, but that is not relevant as all he had to was preach Jesus's return, which he has done diligently. Hal is one of the 144000 as is the likes of Rick Wiles and his team at Tru News. Furthermore, many others preaching the second coming of Christ.

The change in what is being preached.

Rev 14/8. Now we do have an event to align the 144000 with.  Revelations 14-8 says, “fallen fallen is Babylon the Great”. You will see that this is the economic change of the USA. It does not have to be an economic collapse but a change in its relationship with the rest of the world financially. A change in its wickedness. If Donald Trump is successful at cleaning up the swamp and paedophilia rings. The US dollar has already lost it status as the reserve currency at only 47% of trade in dollars. The vast amount of military equipment is useless now they can turn off all modern electronics. It will no longer be dominant but just a smaller player. If you go to Revelations the repeated story concept in the blog and look at Revelations 17, this is explained. First we get the financial collapse and then the physical attack, they are two different events. The physical attack is done when there are ten horns or ten leaders on the heads of the beast. Rev 17-16. So the destruction happens before the Antichrist has arisen. When the beast first appears, it is just a loose seven nation group. The Great Red Dragon has ten horns, seven heads and seven crowns on the heads, showing this is before the beast is fully established because there are only SEVEN crowns.  The Rev 13 picture is slightly different, there are seven heads, ten horns and TEN crowns. It looks like the initial agreement will be among these seven nations will not have a strong leadership.  When the Antichrist arises, three of these horns will fall. Now the Antichrist is here, the mark of the beast will be placed on people. I speculate that the fall of Babylon will cause the Antichrist to arise. So the cities destroyed in an hour are many years away. Fallen Fallen is Babylon the Great is at hand.

Now the third angel cries out. “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulphur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshippers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.” Once the Babylon falls, the preaching will change from repent, do not receive the mark of the beast. This will be preached until the day of the Lord or Jesus's return. That preaching will be from the fall of Babylon or the USA (strictly speaking it is not Babylon but the seventh head the woman rides on). Through the rise of the beast until it turns into the fully blown Beast and during the reign of the Antichrist.

This is a very hard thing they have to do, and the Lord well be training them. Does injustice seem to be following you, or do you feel that you are receiving an unnatural number of problems? You are being turned into men of steel to have victory in a seemingly impossible task. You will be rejected by the established church, who preach the new gospel and have rejected the concept of repenting. On the bright side, you likely will get to speak face to face with Jesus. On the harder side, fellow saints will help you at the cost of their lives. If you think your spirit is calling you need to put it before the lord. Your time could be as little as one year away, or even sooner.

USA in Revelations

Revelations is a book for the end of the age, as is Daniel 7. In fact, Daniel is told to close up the book, for it is for the end of the age. The suggestion is that it will not be fully understood until then. People over the ages have tried to interrupt it and looked at what was around them and then extrapolated out. It is just not possible, but now we are here at the end of the age, we can look at what is in front of us. No fancy codes or mysteries are to be applied, I use the words as they are meant today in today's language. After all, it is written for us in the end times, and I am confident that my God would be able to make it plain. For example, when the prophets of old said Jesus was going to ride into Jerusalem on a donkey, he actually rode into town on a donkey. So today lions are England, bears are Russia and eagles are the USA.  In Revelations and Daniel 7 there are no aliens, giants, mystery plants, lizard men, rapture or secret codes. So I have placed the USA in the place of the Eagle, but not when it is a face of an angel. The other place the USA is talked about is that it is the last head of Babylon the Great. It is not hard to see that the USA is the last head, and there are many good explanations. Follow this link to one of the best. However, I will go over it again quickly to clear up a common misunderstanding. The vision John saw consisted of four parts. The woman riding the beast, and it is her name which is BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Then there are the heads, the horns, and the beast itself.

  In Revelation 17 we see this picture of the woman on the beast with seven heads. First, the woman is called by different names. The great harlot, the woman, the prostitute, the Mother of Harlots and the great city.   The last description of the woman is the great city. Is this a particular city, say New York, or is it a generic city with a large population. The first heads or nations had only one city that ruled, like Phoebes and Egypt, Nineveh and Assyria, Babylon, and Persia, but Greece is starting to change, and Rome has many big cities. I think that Babylon was the first head because it is described as a city of merchants in Jeremiah. A place of trade and the creation of wealth and money. Love of money is the root of all evil. The line goes to Babylon, Greece, the generals of Alexander made another three and Rome. It makes no real difference. As Rome changed into the Holy Roman Empire and into Europe, there became many large cities at the same time. Rome as the sixth head continued in many forms until the role was passed on to the seventh head. What made Rome any more wicked than Paris or Amsterdam or Berlin? It is the wickedness and not the location that makes it evil. I can only conclude that the great city is a name for all large cities within a country also they sit on many waters, which suggests many locations. The cry goes out “fallen fallen is Babylon the great” but it can never truly be destroyed until all large cities are destroyed. The woman is the large cities of a country, the heads are the countries, the horns are people and the beast is the spiritual being that has dominion over particular areas. The beast itself is the angel of the bottomless pit, called Abaddon.

The list of cities and countries above is also a list of the heads of the beast. There are six, including Rome's, but I am talking about the USA being the seventh head. It is an important point to grasp that the USA is not Babylon the Great but the seventh head of the beast. The Roman Empire never really went away. It just transformed over time into new empires, but its roots are always from the Roman Empire. In fact, you can say Australia, Canada, and Brazil all have their roots in the Roman Empire. However, the meaning of a country is geographical. Even though you may have the heritage, you also need the physical. The new head required a new geographical area.

In December 1945, the nations signed in to being the IMF, and they also signed an agreement making the US dollar the world reserve currency. At that point, the USA became the seventh head of the beast. It met the criteria of being the richest and the strongest militarily.   The USA's time as the last head was signed in to being in a day. The USSR lasted 70 years because that is a significant number in the Word for nations. The USA as the head turns seventy in December 2015. If the last head is to last only a little while, then you should see the demise of the USA some time in the next ten years from 2015. Psalm 90 – 10 says 'The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty;' and so it is with nations. I believe the USA is a type of King Saul. He believed in God and was a man of God, but could not stop himself doing his own will. Finally, the kingdom was given to another. Sounds like the USA. Saul lived for 72 years, so I strongly believe that the financial collapse of the USA will happen before December 2018. At that point, the USA as the head of the beast turns seventy-three. However, the next most likely time would be before The end of December 2016. The ace in the hole for the US has been having the world reserve currency. It meant that no matter how incompetent they got, they could just print more money. It is why they have been interfering in every country's affairs from Ghana to Germany to Jamaica. They need to retain it. But alas, it has turned out to be a poisoned chalice.

  Revelations 18 is the look at the fall of Babylon the Great in chronological order. First an angel appears with great authority and the earth is made bright by his presents. This is the revealing of things hidden by the darkness of deception. The wicked men who have stolen the USA from its people by using deception will be exposed to the rest of the world. We are really seeing this unfold with the 2016 Presidential elections. You could see this in other countries as well. There have also been many modern prophecies saying this is going to happen.

Second is Fallen Fallen is Babylon the Great. It is also in Rev 14 to do with the 144000, and we will come back to that.

This cry is the signal of financial collapse. It could be many things. A collapse in the value of the dollar or losing the reserve currency status, or some combination, is by far the most likely.

Three, when this happens, what does God say to the saints in the USA. Come out of her, my people, least you take part in her sins. The sins of Babylon the Great. Remember, this is not the USA, but the cities of the USA.

First the fall, then the call to leave the cities, and now the attack. Her plagues will come upon her in a single day. She will be burned with fire. This is what the angel says, but the merchants say she is destroyed in a single hour. So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more. Once the cities are destroyed, they will never be rebuilt.

Before we get into how the cities are destroyed, I would like to make an interesting speculation about Hillary Clinton. The description in Rev 18 4-8 is a picture of the great city but also a description of Hillary Clinton. It says, “since in her heart she says, I sit as a queen, I am no widow, and mourning I shall never see.” These are words spoken in a person's heart. A symbol cannot say them, but an individual person's thoughts. This scripture is a repeat of what Isaiah 47 says. In Isaiah, it gives far more of an impression to it is an individual saying this.  If Clinton is president, and we know the last president will be a woman from a woman making these statements. The financial collapse has taken place, and she is saying the words, I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be a widow or suffer the loss of children, you need to run and do not look back if you live in a city. I am writing this on the 6th of March 2016, so this is speculation Trump is going to bring the corruption to light as Hillary gets to be President. However, it may be another woman, maybe Trump will have a woman Vice President. Trump is backed by organised crime, and the dirt that will come out will be mind-blowing. Much of the talk about Hillary is, that she is on the side of those running the world and cannot lose. However, if she does and the USA is given some sort of reprieve, and it could be up to eight years, the changes could sweep the world. Fallen fallen could still take place during a Trump Presidency, but not the attack.

  Now we have things revealed, financial collapse, the president says everything good we get to the physical attack.

All these years of arrogant disrespect for the other countries of the world by the wicked men who have stolen the USA. Countries were forced to pour their money into her and made her exceedingly wealthy. The hatred boils over. Destroyed in one hour by fire. All those who buy and sell, those who trade and have become wealthy. Fleets of boats, planes, and vehicles have lost their source of income. They will turn to someone to save them. Do you have any guesses who will be showing up soon? The Antichrist.

There are two combinations that I see could see the destruction of the cities. The first is at the end of 2016 where there are mass riots caused by Clinton cheating the election. The USA is already set to explode and this could trigger it. More likely is before the end of 2018. The destruction of the cities is likely done by nuclear weapons, but there are some other options. A coordinated attack by extremists could do it, but less likely. A general rebellion could cause the devastation in one hour, and a Yellowstone eruption could also cause it. An EMP attack would be second on the list. The problem is, how do you utterly destroy all the large cities by fire in one hour? The only way I can see is by nuclear attack. You may say that this will not work because the explosive area of a nuclear bomb is only around five miles, but it is not the blast that starts the fires, but the incredible flash that accompanies it. Most houses are full of plastic items and that will explode into flames from the flash up to 15 miles (ca. 24 km) away. That's a 30-mile diameter. The ensuing fire storms will be unstoppable.  The description of the level of destruction of the cities will probably be done by nuclear weapons.  So when you leave the cities, make sure you consider the drift of radiation. Even though modern nuclear weapons have far less radiation than the older ones, it is best to be safe.  The saints need to have a rough plan of what they are going to do. I assume most Americans are familiar with George Washington's dream. He said, “I had a dream that he saw three wars on American soil”. The first was a war of independence, the second was a war of brother against brother. Then there was a final conflict where he saw the large cities being burnt to the ground. The people in the country arose and to rebuild the country. The cities will never be rebuilt. If you do not want to believe me, believe your founding father. I did not fit Revelations 17 and 18 to the prophecy but discovered it after writing the repeated story view of Revelations. The victory at the end of the prophecy is not a physical one but a spiritual one. The reason Satan has so encouraged the Rapture concept is to make the Christians in the USA unprepared for the last battle against the Antichrist. If you are unfamiliar with the prophecy, go to YouTube and type in George Washington's dream. I believe a large city could be as low as 120,000 people. The population of Nineveh in Jonas time. It probably will be 250,000 as that was the population of Babylon, but it did go up and down. The USA will rebuild spiritually, but the cities will never be rebuilt ever. Who will your attackers be? Germany, UK, France, Russia, Italy and two others.  It will take too long to give an explanation, so go to the whatofthenight blog and 'Revelations repeated story' then down to Daniel 7's beasts. Germany just received twenty nuclear weapons from the USA, and they could end up destroying American cities. The scripture is Rev 17-16 And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire.  This is the horns of the beast from Rev 13 and not the beast from Rev 17. They sound the same, but if you look closely, you can see that they must be two beasts.

It is interesting that the merchants of the world get a mention. The current collapsing economies are caused by a few reasons. A big one is too much wealth getting into the hands of too few people. The problems caused by multi nationals or more precisely the people who own the multi nationals running unchecked and manipulating things out of natural balances. Politically and financially. They will be on the outer and greatly harmed.

The Rev 13 Beast with 10 horns only lasts three and a half years, so that means there will be less than three and a half years before the Antichrist appears on the scene. Once the Antichrist appears, there are only eight horns. When the Antichrist appears, the tribulation starts and the great calamities that shake the world.

What will happen to the American Christians and alternative news media? If they have a plan, they can keep broadcasting. They will be the main news source and can have a dominant position in what the American public hears. They need to look at what will be the consequences of this attack with internet feeds and electricity. I would suggest they buy a boat or two together, or move some hardware to Canada or Mexico. This will need divine guidance.

Now the good news.

 

The USA in the tribulation. I am basing these thoughts on when the bible talks about an eagle it is a symbol, and we see the symbol for the US is an eagle. Now The USA has had its cities destroyed. The military will get destroyed if they attack, and because everything has got so high-tech, it would quickly lose all functionality without the logistical support. Because of corruption, most of the US military are for show and not for war. Russia, with a relatively small budget, has produced superior fighter aircraft. Hopefully, I will not be a lone voice, but the Lord will get this message out. Even though the USA will not be powerful, it will be the main opposition to the Antichrist and possibly a safe haven. I get this from where the eagle is mentioned, so let us have a look at where the eagle pops up. Rev 9 Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!” That could be an American satellite or TV like Day star over the internet, but most likely radio transmissions or even a ship on the ocean broadcasting. I am suggesting that Christian radio from the USA will still be broadcasting at this point of the tribulation. The next mention Rev 12. The woman is given eagle wings to escape from what comes from Satan's mouth. This is the Christian Israelis escaping to somewhere safe. Do two or three American Aircraft Carriers send in planes and helicopters before Jerusalem is given over to the nations? The Antichrist is trying to hurt them and the Americans are rescuing them. This means they are enemies. If so, it is great news for them for of all the inhabitants of the world, only them and the 144000 are safe. A broken USA and a few other countries fighting the Antichrist to the end and the day of the Lord. This doesn't preclude a section of USA society is in the hand of the Antichrist and a battle is still in the land.

Now let's go back to the 144000 and Rev 14. The first angel flying over head says, “Fear God and give him glory because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.” This is what the 144,000 are preaching, and it must come before the fall of Babylon. The second angel cries “fallen fallen is Babylon the Great.” I am starting to see the fear God and repent and judgment has come being preached more and more. For more about the 144000, go to the blog “Fear God” the cry of the 144,000. If you have an overwhelming desire to preach “Fear God and give him glory because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.” You could well be part of the most select group of people that creation will ever see. The problem with knowing who they are is their lack of numbers. 144000 in a population of around 8 billion is one in every sixty thousand people. What they are saying will not be reported in the media or the vast majority of Mega churches. The Media these days is so controlled they could be active right now, and we are just not hearing it. This is a great worry to me as they are a key to times and dates. Keep an eye out for people teaching Fear God.

I often hear and read leave the USA, emigrate. But I am sure the USA is the place to be for Americans. Just make sure you can leave the cities and go to a place you have prepared. It is when the female president is saying I am no widow and have not suffered the loss of children.

 

So, in summary, we will look at the sequence of events.

Things will be revealed. We are seeing this in the current USA elections.

144000 cry Fear God and repent.

Financial collapse.

The queen declaring she will never be a widow or poor. Likely a female President. The last American President.

Violent attack.

Mega churches are in the large cities, so they will be no more.

The Christians in the country who lived there or fled there are going to have a move of God that will be indescribable. Never before and never again will such a thing happen in the flesh. This is not in the scriptures but a prophecy.

The USA becomes the nemesis of the Antichrist.

Christ's return.

There are some things in Revelations that are over a longer period, like the white and red horses. But there are some things that are the beginning of the end. The sign of the women in the heavens and the great calm before the 144000 appear.

This is happening now with the current USA elections. What we have seen with the Democrats and Republicans' corruption is mind-blowing. Because this is a spiritual thing, we are only just beginning and as the US heads to the November elections we will be shocked at what we will see.

The End is here now, we are living it, so be prepared.

 

 

Who are the hundred million in Revelations

 

You may be asking yourself what is the title about? They get a number of mentions in Revelations and once in Daniel 7.

 In Revelation 5 they just get mentioned as a number 10,000* times 10,000 sometimes called myriads of myriad  or one hundred million and as a great multitude. This number is also mentioned in Daniel 7. Let us pick out the scriptures that mention this group of people and put some light on them. The following is a list of scriptures that mention these saints. I feel a quick look will help clarify the subject.

Rev 6 9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.

10They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 11Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.

Rev 7 9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshipped God,

 saying:“Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honour and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!”

Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”

I answered, “Sir, you know.” And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Therefore, “they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.

‘Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them, nor any scorching heat.

For the Lamb at the centre of the throne will be their shepherd; He will lead them to springs of living water. ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes”

Rev 14 . There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”

This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.

Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labour, for their deeds will follow them.”

Rev 15-2 And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. 3 And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb,

Rev 20-4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshipped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.

They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. This is the first resurrection.

Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

Daniel 7-10 A stream of fire issued and came out from before him;

a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him;

When you pull the scriptures out about these people you get to understand how honoured they are. This hundred million are the first resurrection. It is pretty obvious that this is going to be the very opposite of the rapture. If you are a big rapture fan you are not going like the outcome of this essay.

Why 100 million? This number gets mentioned twice, once in Daniel 7 and in Revelations. The multitude standing before the throne. In Rev 5 it is a little unclear as to who they are. It mentions angels and then two numbers. Thousands of thousands and 10000 time 10000. Elders, angels and others. It would not make sense to say millions of angels and a 100 million angels when other scriptures say an uncountable number of people.

Just to side track for a moment this give us some idea of how many angels there are. If we say this is the same description as Daniel 7 then it is only one million. He says one a thousand thousands. That this thousand thousands served him and the 10000 times 10000s stood before him. This description of standing before him is the same as Revelations 6-11. This is the saints coming out of the tribulation.

 The description of standing before the throne is also linked with standing beside the sea of glass. The picture of the sea of glass and before the throne means that they are no longer on earth, they have died on earth.

How do they die or why? These are they that have come out of the great tribulation. Not before and not after but during. This is saying that 100 million saints are going to die during the tribulation. But why? Rev 15 describes it as 'those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands'. Rev 20 says 'those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands'. When the tribulation has started and those who can stand and be killed for that stance will be regarded as having victory over the Beast. This is very similar to Jesus as they killed him and thought that they had won but it was Jesus that had the victory because his purpose was to save us. He saved us by dying for our sins. Are there going to be internment camps and gas chambers? Maybe, but I suspect that not being able to buy and sell well kill most people. Starvation no access to medication, no power for heating will kill tens of millions. But violent deaths will take its toll as will.

What is so important and so blessed about these saints. The first idea they they are something special is Rev. 14 Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labour, for their deeds will follow them.” Then we get the real story in Rev 20 Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. This is the first resurrection.

  On one hand you have the rapture story saying we are not going to go though the tribulation. That every thing is going to be lovely and happy and who knows where you will end up. On the other hand we have a hard death but staying true to Jesus during this time will result in you coming back to life and reigning with Jesus for a thousand years. I speculate that this will not only include the thousand years but when we enter the new earth as well. There is another group that well rise in the first resurrection.  Those who had their heads cut off in the name of Christ. We see horror stories from the Middle East of beheading. These people will rise again to reign with Jesus. We get a chance to apologise for not coming to their aid. According to legend, Paul was beheaded so you will get to met him.

The rapture is truly an evil doctrine. It is making people completely unprepared for what is about to take place over the next ten years. It is making the saint in the USA ill prepare to be the only country fighting the Antichrist. Making the saints in the rest of the world weak for fighting and dying but gaining victory over him.

So do you want to be part of the first resurrection or do you think that your calling is to go through the tribulation and be part of the new world. There are two different types of people left. I hope you will take my word on this because working through the word will take a lot of work. The scripture I will use is that there are two people working at a mill, one is taken and one is left. Firstly, there must be enough people to use the product produced from this industry. Secondly, the person left is an Israelite how is taken to Israel.  Then there are the other left to populate the world. The word says these people will be rare as gold but gold is not that rare. If you want to survive I will give you the only advice I know. That is to remove Google, Twitter and Facebook completely out of your life.

Why is the answer to did creation take seven days or 14 billion years Yes

Why is the answer to the question was creation done in seven days or 14 billion years yes. That's a unusual statement so lets see what the crazy man is talking about. The answer is in genesis 1. In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth.

Let us start with the earth and go back to the heavens. The Hebrew word used here for earth is haaretz this means earth, land, soil, dirt  etc.. Soil is made up of mixtures of elements and each element is made up of atoms. Atoms are made up of electrons spinning around a nucleus of protons and neutrons. Our main subject is this realm but let us have a quick look at the heavens.

Paul tells us there are at least three heavens. This third heaven that Paul tells us about is a place where Jesus dwells. So it is highly unlikely there would be a fourth heaven above it. If we look at scriptures you see three very distinct heavenly places; Paradise, Sheol, (called Hades) and the other we will call the kingdoms. The kingdoms are places that surround the earth and Paul tells us about them in Ephesians 6 – ‘For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.’ So we have three distinct places, three distinct heavens.

If we look, can we see any effect that these realms have on us physically? We have shown by modern science that we can only see 1 to 3% of our universe. The rest we describe as dark matter and dark energy. Dark matter being 30% and dark energy being the remainder, even though invisible energy would be a better description. However, we can see the gravitational effect dark matter has on us. So we can guess that one or more of the heavens has gravitational fields. They were all made at the same time and all disappear at the same time. The second heaven or kingdom is very close because beings can move from one to the other with ease. Often you will read that the heavens are made up of paradise, the stars, and the sky; paradise being a realm that God promises as a home to those who know and love Him. However, the stars and the sky cannot be called the heavens in a Genesis 1 sense because these are made up of atomic particles. These came into existence when God made the earth not  the heavens.

Let us get back to the 14 billion year or seven days problem. The bible doesn't tell us much. It says God made the universe that

the earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Hebrews 11.3  says so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.’ and several times it says that the universe was stretched out. The big bang theory of the creation of the universe is the current accepted science model. It has a few problems and gets more each day. It is popular because it seems to be in direct opposition to the bibles seven days. Number one on the list of problems is that if there was a big bang the universe would have a particular shape to it. But it doesn't and there is an amazing evenness to the galaxies, the brightness of the most distant galaxies is not right and to the non Christian they are all moving away from us which makes the Milky Way the centre of the universe.   It was argued that it is an optical illusion caused by even expansion. However I was watching a lecture by an atheist called Lawrence Krauss, a genius and a gifted speaker. He was saying that none of the arguments for us not being the centre of the universe were any good but his one. It seemed really good but when you looked closely at it, it required the galaxies directly in front of us to be travelling at twice the speed of light. This is not possible and he effectively proved we are the centre of the universe. I was a bit overwhelmed to think that we are the centre of the universe. Static universe does not fit the maths, expanding universe does not fit the observation. It is as though some guiding hand stretched out the universe in a controlled manner so that every thing was even and in the place it should be. Fits the observation, the maths and the scriptures. What about the universe being made of things unseen. We can not see individual atoms or the protons,neutron and electrons they are made up of. However, when you pile them to get in a big enough pile you can see them. That is you and me. There has been a lot of news about a thing called the Higgs boson. This is a particle produced by the Higgs field that gives things mass. This field and the bosons are completely unseen and we can only see the results of it. Hebrews says things, plural, so in time I speculate that they will be saying that the Higgs field is just one of a number of fields that give the universe substance. This Higgs field was found at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. CERN being the name of the agency a hadron is a name for a group of particles that protons and neutrons are a part of. They have been zooming the protons around and smashing them into each other. They have shown that Hebrews 11.3 was a very accurate description.

Now this description that the earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Is this a description of matter floating around the universe waiting for gravity to join it together. The maths says that is impossible as 14 billion years is on where long enough. So it must be a description of the earth itself before the sun ignited. The land had no shape and there was no life. The  world was covered in water and it was dark.

Let’s have a quick look at time and our galaxy. Time is a puzzle because it is actually minutely different for everybody. Time is affected by the speed you are travelling at. So if I go into the kitchen to make my wife a cup of tea, the act of walking into the kitchen slows down my time zone. You can also question whether time rally exists at all. Everything around us is just a sequence of events that start with the smallest things reacting in their natural parameters affecting the next thing and so on. Each thing affecting the next and larger thing. We measure these things as time as one thing moves to the next. But rather than giving empirical value to time we say that this perception of time is just in the mind of the observer and in fact has no empirical value to the sequence itself. That when went things travel faster it is not time that is slowing down but a kind of resistance is forming that slows the sequence down. This resistance is probably caused by the Higgs and other yet unfound fields. One of these wave fields is acting like fiction. The down side to time not having an empirical value and is nothing more than a though in the mind of an observer of sequential events is that both time travel and space travel will be impossible. All those Scifi programs will be ruined.

 Some of the latest string theory is removing time from its equations.

We have two perceived time zones, the one we are aware of that changes with speed. There is also the time zone that our spirit has. Our spirit is from God and God’s realm has a time zone. Because even in heaven things happen in a sequential manner. Time in effect is the measure of things that happen in a sequence with each event affecting the next in the sequence. We measure time in terms of the rotation of the earth but in the beginning there was no rotation of earth so the beginning of Genesis is a sequence of events that happen not in our time, but in God’s time. The time man is allotted to live is in relationship to our spirit’s time.  I reason this because we are now aware that the speed of light is slowing down.  A day of our time could appear as billions of years in the past. If the relationship of our spirit’s time is changing to our flesh time our life expectancy is going to change. If light is slowing down then time is speeding up. Our ancestors would have had far longer life spans than ours although our spirit’s life span would be the same.  This view of our perception of time can explain how we get seven days or fourteen billion years being yes but we will soon see a better reason.

Lets get away from time and back to the universe.

So when God said let there be light it was not a big bang experience but he ignited the sun - now let’s see what happens.

God saw that the light was good and God separated light from the darkness. What can this mean?  Let’s speculate. To separate light from darkness is not just separating day from night for all night is shadow and our nights are not without light but just a lot less light. As we discussed previously, four places have been created ... and one is a place without light. So there are no electromagnetic waves hitting Sheol, they must pass straight through.

Then Genesis 1:5 ends with the most overlooked words in the Bible by far. The real reason why the answer to the question is yes.

‘And there was evening and there was morning on the first day.’

Evening comes before morning. The day ends at sunrise which makes the first day any amount of time you want it to be because it does not have a start. The first day could be a billion years long or just 15 minutes. Now the sun is ignited and the solar system is starting to warm up we should see the results.

The second day and from now on we are dealing with actual days or one rotation of the earth.

‘And God said let there be an expanse in the midst of the water, and let it separate waters from waters. And God made the expanse and separated waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. God called the expanse heaven and there was evening and morning on the second day.’ The earth is heating up and the sky is getting cloudy. Remember that the clouds were one big covering that did not rain.

The third day

The next verse describes how the process continued until land appeared. Then on the land God put vegetation. Vegetation has the same kind of DNA structure as humans. In fact we are all 60% the same DNA as bananas. We are as much as 80% the same as some trees, although after reading this some of you may think that my percentage is a lot higher.

The fourth day

When the scriptures talk about making the sun, moon and stars it is talking about positioning them to rule the day and the night. God would not have created the vegetation the day before to die in the dark. This is making an elliptical orbit of the earth to create seasons and placing the moon in the right place to create tides and things like that.

The fifth day

Everything is now in place to make the higher creatures. The DNA was made a little more complicated to virtually the same as what man was going to have. All living things have the same DNA structure. This complex double helix molecule is the base of life. The double helix molecule is a program that allows creation to maintain the same form. It is an incredibly complex series of connections numbering in the billions. The probability of this occurring naturally is zero. Evolution is now incompatible with scientific theory. Though probably not so funny when you think it is the main source of racism. Making Darwin the father of racism. There is a benefit to evolution for Christians.  If you look at evolution from any science; from biology, chemistry, mathematics and even palaeontology it fails. Just pop over to the creation sites and you will get overwhelmed with rock solid proof. If you are really smart and want to believe it you have to really lie to yourself. If you are not so smart then it fails at a holistic level. You don’t need to understand the science and you can see it as a lie. Just look at the majesty of creation and you can’t help but see it was created and that is also inbuilt into our being.

Sixth day

This is the end of the creation story and the beginning of our story.

One last little point ... when the Lord gave Moses the story of Genesis and described a day - if he didn’t mean a day in Moses’ time, He would not have said it unless he meant one physical day.  Light was moving faster so time was going slower and remember that there is a time zone for our spirits. At this point when God was teaching Moses they must have been the same. The average age was 120 compared to our 80. That is two thirds, so we need to multiply the five days that the Lord created everything before man, by two thirds. So that means God created creation in three and a third days of our time.

I hope you find my take on Genesis enlightening and interesting..

I am sure you want to have a go at me so fill in the comment section below. I well post them to the site. Try to be factual and not emotive.

God bless you

 

Find this subject matter of time and space interesting. I highly recommend Chuck Misslers Beyond series. Follow this link Beyond time and space.

Abaddon or Apollyon the only being more evil than Satan.

Who is he? It appears that he is the only character in the Bible worse than Satan. Let's look at the scriptures he appears in to see if we can shed some light on him. He appears by name seven times. Three times in Job, twice in Proverbs, once in the Psalms and once in Revelations. In Revelations, Abaddon is also described as the Angel of the bottomless pit.

I will run through each reference and give a small description. Job 26 “Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.” Sheol is the realm of the dead, and Abaddon is described as a different place. The word Abaddon in some texts is described as destruction. It is saying these are two different places. Job28 is talking about wisdom when we come across Abaddon this time. Job 28;22, Abaddon and Death say, We have heard a rumour of it with our ears. Death is one of the rulers of Sheol and is a Demonic being. So Abaddon is also a spiritual being. The inference is that they are a long way away, but the two of them are relatively close to each other. This place that Abaddon dwells in can hear what is going on the earth. They hear and have ears, a very physical thing.

Job 31;12 “for that would be a fire that consumes as far as Abaddon,” This suggesting a place far away or difficult to reach.

Now Psalm 88;9-12. Every day I call upon you, O Lord;
I spread out my hands to you.
10Do you work wonders for the dead?
Do the departed rise up to praise you?
11Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,
or your faithfulness in Abaddon?
12Are your wonders known in the darkness,
or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

David is asking God, does he work wonders in the lands of the dead? The grave is often used instead of the name Sheol. It is a different place to Sheol but in the earth.

Proverbs 15;11 Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD; how much more the hearts of the children of man! This is talking about where God can see. He sees everywhere.

Let us summarise what we can see so far. That Abaddon is both a person and a place. To be more precise, Abaddon rules a place that gets to be called by the rulers' name. He can hear what is going on in the world, even though it is far away. There is some form of physical link. The main characteristic is it is a place of faithlessness.

Now Revelations 9;11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer). A star fallen from heaven is given the key to the bottomless pit. This is not Satan because he had already been thrown out of heaven before the tribulations began. Four events of the calamities of the tribulation have already happened. This star has a key to unlock the abyss. That would make it a prison. Elsewhere, it says the angels in the abyss are bound in chains. It is not part of Sheol as that is the realm of the dead people. That is a place where people go and not Demonic beings. Not that there aren't spiritual beings, that exist only there. The Legion of demons asked Jesus not to be sent to the Abyss, so he sent them into a herd of pigs who then died and that would have put them back into the Second Heaven. Two places Jesus could send them. The Abyss and the second heaven. It was not part of the second heaven, but somewhere they did not want to go. It is interesting that Jesus showed mercy to these creatures. God created the heavens and the earth in the beginning. Not the heavens, the earth, and the abyss. So the Abyss is part of a heaven, and we know it is not the second heaven. It is not part of Paradise so that only leaves it as a prison in Sheol. The first heaven is below us, so on the earth the second heaven is around us and the third heaven is above us.

The Abyss is also called the bottomless pit. In physics, you cannot get a bottomless pit unless all gravitational forces are even. The only place that happens is the centre of the earth. So the bottomless pit is almost certainly at the centre of the earth. A section of Sheol.

If we go to Revelations 17, we find the beast that the woman rides came out of the bottomless pit. We know that the bottomless pit is a prison, and it is only just been opened. It is highly unlikely that another powerful fallen Angel has come out at the same time and not get a mention. This beast is also described as “The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.” I find this interesting as there are only limited amounts of opportunities for this to occur. The earliest mentions of him already have him in the Abyss. The only place I can see that he could exist on earth was before the flood. The angels that were the fathers of the mighty men got thrown into the Abyss for not keeping their correct place. Abaddon must have been one of these, and probably the most powerful of them. This is why he is called the angel of the Abyss. So why is he called a beast? He may not be the shape of a human like angel. The Seraphim and Cherubim are types of angels, intelligent beings, but John called them beasts earlier in Revelations because they do not have human shape. Abaddon actually gets to walk our earth, so it will be remarkable to see. This means that from the Abyss he must be able to impose some effect on the world. He has some authority in cosmic geography. Firstly in Babylon and on through to when he is released from the pit and has direct control. Job 28;22 says he can hear what is happening on the earth, so it is only a small step to believe he can do more than that. Once he is out, he becomes the eight heads. The USA is the seventh head and has been destroyed by fire. The Antichrist has arisen and we have one world government. The great cities of the world still exist, and Abaddon is on the earth and has full control. It is in this situation that he kills the two servants. Either Moses and Elijah, or two people who have the ministries of Elijah and Moses.

The gap in the first heaven that leads to the bottomless pit. Where is it? I believe that this CERN large hadron collider is the door. The site itself used to have a temple to Apollo or Apollyon the destroyer. At the front entrance, there is a statue to the Indian god Shiva. The god is known as the destroyer or destruction, which is also the name of Abaddon.

So that Abaddon the most evil being to ever roam the earth. Satan may be the father of lies and the main protagonist to the works of Jesus, but for pure evil, Abaddon's the man. Abaddon the Antichrist and the False Prophet are the first recorded beings thrown into the lake of fire. Evil does have its rewards.

Who are the biggest drug cheats.

 

As we head into the end of the age we will find it impossible to tell what is true and what is false. The current controversy of drug cheating and the Russians is dominating the current Olympics. Are they or is this politics can we get a little discernment from this?

Drug cheating in sport despite huge efforts to stamp it out is at epidemic proportions. High profile sporting events like the tour de France have been severely tarnished by scandals. Jokes like "Tour de Pharmacy" and "When I was on holiday in France I hired a cycle for exercise. When they eliminated all the drug cheats I got third place in one of the stages"flourish. In the past the old USSR and their satellite states where cheat  to gain political advantage. The athletes got a very distinctive muscle structure. Today you see Serena Williams and Sir Chris Hoye (a British Cyclist) with muscle structures that scream drug cheat. You also get people who where average performers all of a sudden becoming world beaters. The name we all have heard is Usian Bolt and a whole British cycling team. They suddenly had a dramatic change in results. The Chinese swimming team also had a dramatic change from. When asked about it what caused this they said they had a new natural diet. Someone told them to stop eating the fruit of the Anabolic Steroid tree it is cheating. Host nations can often get a small boost in medal counts.

There are no magic wands in sport. Some have small advantages but in general the results should be consistent with each other. For a country to get a vastly better haul of medals it is just not possible. With the destruction of the concepts of honour and integrity cheating is just a normal way of life.

Currently with this scandal about Russia's organised drug cheating and they are going to ban their athletes. With politics in sport out of control and cheating virtually impossible to uncover is there a way of getting some idea who is cheating. Most countries around the world will have similar coaching and facilities so you should see a similar pattern in medals won. The smaller and wealthier the population the more likely to get better results. Large populations and poorer counties should do worse but lets see.  I will do a list of medals to population to see if Russia sticks out. It should be getting similar results to say Germany, Italy and France. The order is descending from the total medals won at the last Olympic Games in London.

Medals per million people.

USA                             .32

China                            06

United Kingdom      1.02

Russia                         .56

South Korea               .56

Germany                    .54

France                         .52

Australia                   1.40

Italy                             .47

Hungary                   2.00

Japan                          .31

Ukraine                       .44

New Zealand            2.90

Sweden                       .80

Brazil                           .08

Jamaica                     4.44

Holland                      1.10

You can see that Russia is either not doing anything different from other European counties or they are the worlds worst at drug cheating. Given their Soviet history in organised drug cheating that is not possible. The whole thing looks like a political setup. Ruining the Olympics to score brownie points against Putin. If the games were in a close ally and not Brazil this would never have arisen. So Russia is not cheating, or minimal cheating, what of the other unusual results. I will give them a cheating value based on their result out of the norm.  New Zealand and Hungary. Both small countries that did particularly well in one sport. Hungary won seven or nearly half of their medals in Kayaking. New Zealand did very well in Rowing and well in water sports in general. These results are not particularly surprising. Australia puts a lot of money into sport. It has a great climate and a population of just 25 million. Still that seems a bit high. Recently some of their high profile sports people have produced positive drug results. There has been some scandals in the NRL and AFL with organised drug abuse as well. With all that money available and results needed the temptation is to much. Drug cheating is not organised but still a significant amount going on. Jamaica, it is common knowledge that there is a lot of drug cheating going on. There is big money around for top sprinters. This country of 2.7 million people is producing better sprinters than the USA with 50 million African Americans alone and with their college system it is completely unbelievable result. Wide spread drug cheating probably not organised. That brings us to the United Kingdom. It won medals at twice the rate of other European countries. It was winning medals at an expected rate up until ten years ago. Then all of a sudden there was a dramatic increase in results. At Bejing their cyclists who had not been performing outstandingly won every track cycling gold medal. Completely ridiculous result. Now we are seeing some positive test results for drugs in their top performers.  The United Kingdom has wide spread and Sports Association supported drug cheating. I was watching the news the other day and Sebastian Coe was giving out information about Russian drug cheating. In reality it is his own country that has the most organised drug cheating program in the world.

The worst performance was by India with .004 medals per million. It is amazing to see just how easy it is to cheat and not be caught. Lance Armstrong only got caught by people selling him out. This was under the noses of officials in the most scrutinized event in the world. We will see the Rio Olympics start shortly and for most of the events all we are going to see is who is the best drug cheat. The prizing giving ceremony will the go like this. The winner of the 100 metres goes to Joe Blogs and his team of chemists. Who's ingenious use of steroids has produced a time a half a second faster than the champion mare Starlight. Well done and it is a crying shame you will die aged forty two of an agonising and virulent cancer. We really have grown into a now generation that will be so easy to manipulate in these end times. As far as the Olympic games is concerned, turn it off and watch a Christian TV channel.

Climate change arguments. The four choices

You hear this endless debate about climate change. Is it a man made event by pollution and the use of fossil fuels or are they natural changes that follow historic weather patterns. I am going to look at these two reasons for weather change and two more that do not make the news but are real reasons the weather can change. There are four reasons for the dramatic increase in unusual weather events. Some explain the dramatic weather but others explain why we are also getting a dramatic increase in earthquakes and volcanic activity. The two extras are the collapse of the worlds magnetic field that protects us from the suns radiation and the last but most likely is in Leviticus that the land will reject the people because of their wickedness.

Global warming caused by humans.

This has been pushed hard by the Globalists. They see it as a great tool for reducing countries sovereignty. Paris climate accord is a very effective weapon in their armoury to achieve their agenda. Why is this theory the lest likely to be the cause of the increasingly wild weather? The good aspect of global warming is that it does target pollution. No matter how much you disagree with it the planet still ends up better off.

We will start with the current rate of CO2 is 400ppm. To get some idea that is 4 cents to $10,000. This gas has been increasing and it is probably true that some of this increase has been caused by human activity. Because it is a small amount a doubling of the CO2 would give only a fraction of 1% temperature rise. During the last Ice Age the CO2 was ten times higher than today. So CO2 is a tiny part of our atmosphere that is not doing anything out of the ordinary. A man named Al Gore and another named R Pachuari won a Noble peace prize when they produced chart showing that the temperature of the Earth was increasing The graph showed an increase of .8 degrees. 80% of one degree. This rise will continue unless we do something about the man made pollution. Three problems jumped out at this proposition. When the formula of the maths behind the graphs was studied it was found to be wrong. It was not a scientific formula but one for show. Made so they could add a small change to get the desired change. The weather is an extremely complicated thing. A list of component parts is long, more than two hundred different causes, it is not possible to get a formula. Secondly, the CO2 in the atmosphere is self correcting. The more CO2 the faster plants grow taking more CO2 out of the atmosphere. Lastly, the historical evidence has CO2 much higher than it is today without any effect. Historical evidence, which we will cover more later is that the weather we are experiencing is exactly what the historical evidence people say should be happening normally. With the science of Global warming being challenged they started to use pseudo-science or formulas that are adjusted to suit. It is called Pseudo-science but gravy train science is a better description. The most interesting thing about the Global warming arguments they use is the language they use. The evidence is incontrovertible or a Global warming denier. Worse than that is any Climate scientist who says it is wrong will loss their job. The list of people losing their jobs is very long.

Now that the science involved in this theory has been been bought into doubt or even disrepute. Climate scientists are getting bolder and more are starting to risk their careers and coming out and saying it is not happening. You also have scientists being caught time and again falsifying figures. For all intents and purposes Global warming is dead. However, globalists and scientist who are living on a gravy train are fighting to the bitter end.

One last figure is the temperature of the earth has not changed in the last twenty years. Another amusing fact is to do with the Arctic. When they started this was one of the things they pointed to was the stinking ice levels. Along with dramatic pictures of starving polar bears. Just about to the day the Arctic ice levels started rising again until today where the amount of ice is at average levels. The CO2 increase does not explain well why we are at the same time as the weather pattern changes we are seeing a dramatic increase in earthquakes and volcanic activity the same way the next three events can explain it.

Why are they so determined to push this even though the science is bad. The Globalist agenda is bad but this could easily back fire and do their plans terrible harm. There is a far more sinister aspect to climate change that we come across in the next cause of climate change, historical patterns. I have a suspicion that we may see the real answer to this insanity in the look at the earth's magnetic field.

Historical cycles

Through the study of growth rings on trees, taking sample of ice cores and deep cores into the ocean floor we can get a reliable picture of weather patterns. What we get is very consistent cycles. There are two hundred year cycles, four hundred year cycles and thousand year cycles. Some names of cycle are Solar retrograde cycle, Milankovitch Cycle and Orbital Stretch cycle. There are nineteen year cycles and cycles of the moon and cycles of the sun all effecting our weather. We have known about these cycles for millennia with the most famous weather predictor being Stone Henge. It is the reason Stone Henge rock patterns are repeated all over the globe. It is not spacemen but everyone has the same weather cycles. The thousand year cycle has nine hundred years of normal weather and a hundred years of warmer weather. We are currently at the very end of a hundred year warm period. In history you have seen unusual activity with the movement of people. One thousand years ago we saw the rise of the Normans a cold weather people who's population suddenly expanded. A thousand years before that you had the Romans expanded up into Northern Europe. A thousand years before that you had a migration of peoples from the Mediterranean into Europe. The other main cycle is the four hundred year cycle which is caused by a decrease in sunspots. This quite period of the sun is called The Maunder Minimum”. Also known as the little Ice Age cycle. We are starting to head into one of these minimums now. We are getting a cross over of these cooling cycles and we are going to head into a mini ice age. Is this the insidious plan of the Globalists coming into effect. One of the plans of the Globalists is to reduce the worlds population. All these warm weather hybrid plants are going to get wiped out with the cold weather. The Globalists are being driven out of the USA under Trump and taking up residence in Europe. Europe is going to be the worst effected place on earth. Russia and China are well aware of the coming ice age and are making preparation. China is moving whole communities away from areas that will not be able to sustain life. Russia does not need to go to war with Europe they will just walk in when two thirds of Europeans are dead. There is a migration problem that they are not willing to face up to. Will we see this problem disappear with a mass migration back to warmer places? I think so.

The magnetic field failure.

A simple concept that as the magnetic field decreases more energy from the sun in its various forms of radiation hit earth. This heats the earth making the weather more serve and the earth's crust more active. This does not happen evenly causing more stress in some areas. As we are all aware the magnetic field is vital to our survival and small changes have an effect that can be far reaching beyond weather and natural disasters. This ranges from birds and insects getting interference in their magnetic systems to holes developing in the magnetosphere leading to burst of high levels of radiation. An event that could leave a third of vegetation being burnt off. A Revelations event.

The weakening of the magnetic field has lead to a reversal of poles in the past is current theory. We have no records of what happens when a reversal occurs but it is a commonly held opinion that it is bad. But, back to the weather. The increase in radiation hitting the earth will heat the waters of the oceans and the oceans generate the severity of our weather. Small increases in radiation has a far greater effect on our weather than huge increases in CO2 will ever have. The magnetic field has been slowly decreasing for centuries but the has been a much faster decrease over the last 40 years. It is decreasing at about 5% per decade at the moment. It is suspected that this could be part of the magnetic field reversal about to happen but it is only speculation. However, magnetic field reversal is bad. There is plenty of great information about this event out there.

Why is our magnetic field changing is a hard question to answer as we are not truly certain how anything works. How the earth generates its magnetic field is pure speculation. Here is what we do know. The suns magnetic field has been increased by 230% since 1900. This expansion of the magnetic field is allowing more radiation to escape from the sun. The suns magnetic field reverses every eleven years and when this reversal happens there is a burst of plasma going out into the solar system a kind of burst of stardust. The stardust has the effect of heating up the the whole solar system. The effects are strange, where our moon had no atmosphere to speak of it now has a 6000km atmosphere of a of an element called Natrium. Mercury's magnetic field has increased to the extent that it is so protected that frozen poles are starting to form. Venuses brightness has increased 2500 times and its atmosphere has gone through major changes in just the last forty years. On Mars there were icecaps, they have now disappeared. Jupiter is changing colour. It doesn't stop there with similar strange thing happening on Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. We are seeing changes to the weather on earth the same as what is happening over the entire solar system. Also the earth's axis has tilted more in recent years. This is the cause of the vast increases in natural disasters 400, 500 and 1000% increases. There is nothing we can do about this but pray and trust in the Lord and his perfect plan. We can not work out what will this bring me back to the beginning and the CO2 argument. There is nothing we can do about the effects of the weakening magnetic field. Do the Globalists know this and gave come up with a plan get as many people to survive as possible without mass global panic. Considering how evil their behaviour is, not likely.

The real reason for the natural disaster. Wickedness.

Leviticus 18 6-28 Jeremiah 32-34

There are sexual sins that are an abomination. Incest, Adultery, homosexuality and bestiality. Two other sins that are an abomination, child sacrifice and setting up idols in a house that bares the Lords name. Denying justice and oppressing the poor, weak, widows and orphans also come with extreme warnings.

There is not a lot you can add to this. The warning is plain that if you behave wickedly in the above areas the land will reject you. The Israelites were warned that this is one of Gods principles. The wickedness today easily meets the evil of the people who were driven out of the land before the Israelites. We have child sacrifice (abortion), no justice, sexual immorality in all its forms and oppression of the poor, widows and orphans. It is so far beyond the wickedness of the past we fall into the area of judgement that has an effect on the very earth itself.

Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgement has come, “ This is the real reason for the dramatic increase in every type of calamity coming upon the earth. In greater numbers and power. This is going to get worse as time goes on. Get ready for a rough ride into the end of the age.
