Birth pains mean something is coming, leading up to something bigger. Birth pangs start small and grow in intensity and frequency until something is born. This is how God said disasters would come in the End Times. Is the Coronavirus COVID-19 a bigger, stronger Biblically prophesied birth pain? (<a href="https://ctt.ac/S7B2L" target="_blank">Tweet tha</a>t) Could this pandemic be an escalation in the pain of the birth pangs revealing the near-coming of the End Times?<br />
<br />
In the last post we looked at the words of Jesus in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+21&version=ESV" target="_blank">Luke 21</a>. Matthew also wrote about what Jesus said that same night about the End Times in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24&version=ESV" target="_blank">Matthew 24</a>. Because these chapters of the Bible, and also <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+13&version=ESV" target="_blank">Mark 13</a>, talk about the same event, these are called parallel passages.<br />
<br />
In <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24%3A7-8&version=ESV" target="_blank">Matthew 24:7-8</a>, Jesus says:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains."</blockquote>
<br />
Covid-19 and the situation in the United States of America and in the world is unlike anything we've ever seen before. We’ve seen plagues of various intensities. People today are talking about the Spanish Flu in 1918. But this is different. So many people affected. Entire countries shut down. It seems clear to me this is an escalation. (<a href="https://ctt.ac/ays_8" target="_blank">Tweet that</a>) Do you agree?<br />
<br />
If this frightens you, get to know God and his love for you and why he is allowing this in the world.<br />
He is allowing this in the world in order to draw people to him. To make people think about him. To make people seek him out.<br />
<br />
Consider this precursor or birth pang an act of mercy. God is letting us know something is coming, Something bigger. And he, in his mercy, is giving everyone an opportunity to know him before it comes. (<a href="https://ctt.ac/8az6q" target="_blank">Tweet that</a>) What are you waiting for?<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">YOU CAN PRAY THIS</span></h4>
<br />
Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I am a sinner and need to be saved from the consequences of all my sins, which is death and punishment for all eternity. I cannot save myself from death. Today, I receive your gift of salvation and trust you as my Lord and Savior, so that I will spend eternity with you in heaven. Thank you, Lord Jesus! I believe you are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day. Thank you for bearing the penalty for my sins on the cross and exchanging them for the gift of eternal life. Teach me how to live for you from now on. In Jesus’ precious Name I pray, Amen.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[b] Christ Jesus our Lord. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+6%3A23&version=NIV" target="_blank">Romans 6:23, NIV</a>)</blockquote>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #cc0000;">WHAT ARE WE TO DO?</span></h4>
<br />
The best thing to do is to learn more about God and the Bible and Jesus Christ. You can do this by reading the Bible. You can read the Bible free on internet sites. You can also download free Bibles on a Kindle or other reading device. If you would like to know more about what I'm talking about in these posts you might read <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24&version=ESV" target="_blank">Matthew 24</a>, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+21&version=ESV" target="_blank">Luke 21</a>, and <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+13&version=ESV" target="_blank">Mark 13</a>.<br />
<br />
Then I suggest you start at the beginning of Matthew and read the four gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. For the ultimate book on the End Times, read Revelation.<br />
<br />
Even if this Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is a bigger, stronger birth pain, you don’t need to be afraid. (<a href="https://ctt.ac/N07UU" target="_blank">Tweet that</a>) Jesus is more powerful and, if you trust him, he’s got you in the palm of his hand – for all eternity.<br />

Is this Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic a sign of the Biblically prophesied End Times? (<a href="https://ctt.ac/RX1fD" target="_blank">Tweet that</a>) Many people are wondering and asking me what I think. An interesting question on Good Friday.<br />
<br />
The final week of Jesus’ life, his disciples asked him what would be the signs of the End Times and his second coming. His answer was recorded by three different writers in three parallel passages: <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24&version=NIV" target="_blank">Matthew 24</a>, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+13&version=NIV" target="_blank">Mark 13</a>, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+21&version=NIV" target="_blank">Luke 21</a>.<br />
<br />
Regarding pandemics or plagues, he used a word translated “pestilences” in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+21%3A11&version=ESV" target="_blank">Luke 21:11</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.”</blockquote>
Interestingly, that word “pestilences” wasn’t translated into English in Matthew or Mark.<br />
<br />
Here’s a recent article I found that goes deeper into the words Jesus used in his prophecy of pestilences and their translation in regards to COVID-19 Coronavirus:<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="https://answersingenesis.org/coronavirus/covid19-biblical-plague/" target="_blank">COVID-19—a Biblical Plague? by Brandon Clay on March 29, 2020</a></li>
</ul>
The question for me here is not whether or not there will be plagues in the End Times, but rather, is this plague what the Bible refers to? (<a href="https://ctt.ac/Da363" target="_blank">Tweet that</a>)<br />
<br />
I can't say I know for sure. I’m not sure anyone knows at this point. My thought, though, is no, it's not. Because I think in the End Times, circumstances will be even worse than they are right now. But I do believe this is a precursor, what the Bible calls a “birth pang.” (<a href="https://ctt.ac/50aXr" target="_blank">Tweet that</a>) We will talk more about birth pains in the next post.<br />
<br />
What do we know for sure? We know this is new. This is different. This is something we have not experienced before. (<a href="https://ctt.ac/qhX17" target="_blank">Tweet that</a>)<br />
<br />
Our current older generation is that which witnessed Nazi Germany, the invasion of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, and fought World War II. Many of them were young during the Great Depression. Some of them were born by World War 1. So that generation has seen a lot. And yet this is new and different even for them.<br />
<br />
God sometimes lets bad things happen because often people don’t seek him when times are good.<br />
<br />
Is God trying to get our attention? Always. Has he got yours? If yes, what are you going to do with that? (<a href="https://ctt.ac/2e7Jc" target="_blank">Tweet that</a>)<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #cc0000;">WHAT ARE WE TO DO? </span></h4>
<br />
If you have never done so, why not ask the Lord Jesus into your life today? How do you do that? He is all knowing and present everywhere at once, so he will hear your prayer. Ask him to forgive all your sins – this is why he died on the cross. Then ask him to come into your life and teach you how to live for him. You can acknowledge him as your savior right now, wherever you are. Then record this date in your Bible or somewhere special so you will always remember this moment.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+11%3A17-44&version=ESV" target="_blank">John 11:25-26, ESV</a>.</blockquote>
Jesus said there would be times like this Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic and, like birth pains, they will escalate in frequency and intensity. Are you ready to trust Jesus through them? It's a good thing to start today, on Good Friday.<br />

It's Holy Week between Palm Sunday and Easter, with Passover in the middle, and many are praying the COVID-19 / Coronavirus will pass over their home and not bring death into their houses. (<a href="https://ctt.ac/c5Z1y" target="_blank">Tweet It!</a>)<br />
<br />
If you didn’t know, the date for Easter is set by the Jewish holiday, Passover. The Christian Easter is on the Sunday closest to Passover. Easter moves around on our western calendar. But Passover always begins on the 14th of Nissan on the Jewish calendar. *<br />
<br />
This year Passover starts right in the middle of Holy Week, beginning at sundown today, Wednesday April 8, 2020.<br />
<br />
Passover began with the miraculous Exodus of the Israelite (Jewish) people from slavery in Egypt. It was the last, or tenth, of the ten plagues God brought on Egypt and the false gods of Egypt to set His people free from slavery and prove He is the one and only true God.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord” (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2012%3A12&version=NIV" target="_blank">Exodus 12:12, NIV</a>).</blockquote>
God said He was going to send the Angel of Death throughout Egypt and it would strike dead the firstborn male of every household and all the cattle. However, anyone could avoid this by believing God and following His instructions: slaughter a lamb, paint its blood on the doorposts of their house, and stay inside the house. That must have sounded as crazy to those people then as it does to us today. But God was painting a picture of the coming Lamb of God Whose blood saves anyone who believes God and follows His instructions: ask for forgiveness of your sins and believe Jesus' death atones and saves you from your sins. After that, get to know God and live His way.<br />
<br />
That Passover, God promised when the Angel of Death saw the blood on the doorposts, he would pass over that home and no death would come to that house, just as the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus, saves all who believe in Him. (<a href="https://ctt.ac/921Ne" target="_blank">Tweet It!</a>)<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmzC92Hnd6Wv3deCJGCzIYyGm0uJMh35HeilZ3GLcwxlGrb1QMBtMp6zeMNJKbpkVLSMA_KqHjs78yFshXFjis4te9vShigYlDLjJhAi_jEUf6vORlHWDSecoTEFCjcA-jv8EnCFxRTzK/s1600/church-498525_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="851" data-original-width="1280" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmzC92Hnd6Wv3deCJGCzIYyGm0uJMh35HeilZ3GLcwxlGrb1QMBtMp6zeMNJKbpkVLSMA_KqHjs78yFshXFjis4te9vShigYlDLjJhAi_jEUf6vORlHWDSecoTEFCjcA-jv8EnCFxRTzK/s320/church-498525_1280.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
This was the first Passover.<br />
<br />
This Passover, most of us have been told to stay in our houses. (<a href="https://ctt.ac/921Ne" target="_blank">Tweet It!</a>) For Palm Sunday, Easter, and everything in between, for the first time in history churches stand empty. (<a href="https://ctt.ac/Q6o0c" target="_blank">Tweet It!</a>)<br />
<br />
Many are praying Death from this COVID-19 Coronavirus will pass over our homes, especially this coming week when the virus is expected to peak resulting in the highest number of deaths. (<a href="https://ctt.ac/lGj25" target="_blank">Tweet It!</a>)<br />
<br />
Interestingly, United States President Trump and other leaders predict this will be the worst week for deaths in the US.<br />
<br />
This past Sunday on FOX News’ program <i>Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo</i>, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani said this in the first 1:30 of this video:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The president, the governor, and now ever the mayor—They’ve all done a good job of getting the people ready for what is going to be, they say, a terrible, now, about a week and a half. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"It coincides, interestingly, with the Passover, with Good Friday and Easter, all very, very solemn religious holidays. Passover is about the angel of death passing over you. Praying for it. I think people are sitting at home praying for that." </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: right;">

<br />
<br />
The first Passover, God instructed Moses, and then Moses instructed the people to slaughter a lamb, and then:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning. For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you. 24 You shall observe this rite as a statute for you and for your sons forever” (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+12%3A22-24&version=ESV" target="_blank">Exodus 12:22-24, ESV</a>). </blockquote>
That first Passover pictured, or foreshadowed, the coming Messiah, the ultimate Passover Lamb!<br />
<br />
The New Testament tells us this:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%205%3A7&version=NIV" target="_blank">1 Corinthians 5:7</a>). </blockquote>

I have taken a break from blogging for a while. While I enjoy sharing my thoughts about current events and how they might relate to the Bible and its prophecies, blogging takes a lot of time and creative energy, and I simply needed to spend that time and energy on other writing projects. However, in light of the COVID-19 / Coronavirus world-wide pandemic, how can I not blog and talk to you about these things that are going on around us? (<a href="https://ctt.ac/t6vU0" target="_blank">Tweet It!</a>) Therefore, I’m re-launching my blog, at least temporarily. (<a href="https://ctt.ac/f93n9" target="_blank">Please Tweet this.</a>)<br />
<br />
Like you, I don't know all the answers. Heck, I'm not even sure I know all the questions. But I will blog about what I know or what I believe. (<a href="https://ctt.ac/z23tM" target="_blank">Tweet It!</a>) Strangely this time finds me busier than ever. I work from home (so I'm not getting time off) plus I do caretaking plus taking care of my own household. So I will post at irregular intervals, meaning with no regular schedule but when I have time to get a post done and have an interesting thought to talk about.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #cc0000;">WHAT SHOULD WE DO IN LIGHT OF BIBLE PROPHECY? </span></h4>
In light of COVID-19 / Coronavirus and Bible prophecy, what, in this strange and unusual time, are we to do? (<a href="https://ctt.ac/m5897" target="_blank">Tweet It!</a>) Maybe that's the first thing: Start asking questions of God and about God, and seeking answers.<br />

Have you heard about "The Sign"? AT&T aired the documentary "The Sign" on its Audience channel September 14, 2017. I found it very interesting and quite intriguing with the possibilities, but then, as you know, I'm kind of "into" this sort of thing.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/September23Sign/" target="_blank">"The Sign" Facebook page</a> announced they have made this documentary available for anyone to watch for free on their web site (<a href="http://ctt.ec/Ifcgq" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>), which pleases me very much, so I wanted to share it. Don't let the "Start your free trial now" blue box confuse you as it did me. You don't have to do this to watch it. Just scroll down. The 2-minute teaser comes first -- and is also at the bottom of this post. Then scroll down a bit more and the next video right below that is the entire 1 hour 20 minute show.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://start.att.net/exclusive/audience/the-sign-documentary" target="_blank">Watch "The Sign" Documentary in its entirety here for free.</a></span></div>
<br />
Here's a little information on what this is all about:<br />
<br />
Tomorrow, on September 23, 2017, the stars and planets, sun and moon, are all lining up in a very unique pattern that seems to portray exactly what the Bible says in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+12%3A1-2&version=ESV" target="_blank">Revelation 12:1-2</a>: (<a href="http://ctt.ec/V8iOd" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">The Woman and the Dragon </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
12 And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2 She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+12%3A1-2&version=ESV" target="_blank">Revelation 12:1-2</a>, ESV)</blockquote>
Here is a very cool image of what the is in the sky. Watch closely for the woman, Virgo, and the lion, Leo, as they fade in and out of view: (<a href="http://ctt.ec/J7V04" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3ARevelation_12_Sign.gif" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="By Brad (Revelation 12 Daily) [CC0], via Wikimedia Commons"><img alt="Revelation 12 Sign" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/Revelation_12_Sign.gif/512px-Revelation_12_Sign.gif" width="512" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
In a nutshell, the Sun will be just over the woman, Virgo's, left shoulder, "clothing" her in the sun. The moon, which is just a sliver right now, is near her left foot. Leo the lion is made of 9 stars, but the planets Mercury, Venus, and Mars, are currently nearby -- as never before in history -- to make a "garland" or "crown of twelve stars."<br />
<br />
Besides all this, <a href="https://biblepropheciesfulfilled.blogspot.com/2014/12/christmas-advent-day-8-what-was-that.html" target="_blank">the planet Jupiter, known as the King Planet</a>, has been moving through Virgo's (which means virgin) womb for the past nine months to be "born" tomorrow, on September 23, 2017. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/hybNG" target="_blank">Tweet that</a>!)<br />
<br />
If all that's not enough to WOW you, check this out: the documentary also talks about "Planet X," which is a dark planet that will pass close to earth's orbit. This planet has no name because planets aren't named until someone, a scientist, actually sees it, but they know it's there because of its gravitational pull on other space bodies. This Planet X is already known as The Red Dragon. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/pDddF" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
Here are the next verses in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+12%3A1-6&version=ESV" target="_blank">Revelation</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. 4 His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. 5 She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule[a] all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne, 6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+12%3A1-6&version=ESV" target="_blank">Revelation 12:3-6, ESV</a>) </blockquote>
I was very pleased that "The Sign" documentary treated Christians with respect, not making us look like loonies. It also presents views from skeptics, so I felt it was well balanced. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/a4DMU" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) There was also an appearance from <a href="https://biblepropheciesfulfilled.blogspot.com/2014/10/mark-biltz-teaches-introduction-to.html" target="_blank">Mark Biltz</a>, whom I've learned so much from. (Use the search box in the upper right to search for his name and you'll find him referenced in several articles on this blog.)<br />
<br />
I hope you'll take an hour and a half to watch the documentary "The Sign." While I do not believe the world will end tomorrow, I do believe this is spiritually and prophetically significant. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/054ZN" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) Please share it with your family and friends. Feel free to leave a comment below letting us know what you think about all this.<br />

Another "Blood Moon" total lunar eclipse took place last night. We are currently in the midst of the Jewish holy days of Purim. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/3VmaY" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
It looks like the total lunar eclipse was visible mostly over Europe and Africa, not here in the United States.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
I've been watching the beautiful full moon the last few days and thinking of the four eclipses the last two years, but this eclipse was news to me. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/0kbmI" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) A friend sent me this video. It's from Lance Wallnau, whom I had not heard of before, but you can bet I'll be looking into him.<br />
<br />
This video runs about 23 minutes. (Warning and disclaimer: about the last 3 minutes are advertising for his training and trips. I'm not endorsing that.)<br />
<br />
Purim is the remembrance and celebration of how God saved the Jewish people from the evil plot of Haman told in the Bible's book of <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Esther+1&version=ESV" target="_blank">Esther</a>. Purim is not one of <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Feasts-LORD-Tabernacles-Prophecies-Fulfilled-ebook/dp/B01BHE3GSA/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8" target="_blank">the 7 Feasts of the L<span style="font-size: x-small;">ORD</span></a> (which my <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Feasts-LORD-Tabernacles-Prophecies-Fulfilled-ebook/dp/B01BHE3GSA/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8" target="_blank">newest e-book</a> teaches about) which were instituted in the time of Moses, but is an additional holiday instituted in the time of Esther and Mordecai (much like Hanukkah was given in the "time between the Testaments" during the time of the Maccabees.)<br />
<br />
Here is a new site I found with information on coming lunar eclipses:<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.moongiant.com/Lunar_Eclipse_Calendar.php" target="_blank">Moon Giant Lunar Eclipse Calendar</a></li>
</ul>

<br /></div>
<div>
My thanks to Angela for alerting me to this "Blood Moon" total lunar eclipse on Purim and sending the video!!<br />

Here we are at the beginning of a new year, a time when many people look forward and make decisions about what they want to accomplish in the coming 12 months.<br />
<br />
For me, that list seems endless. I've got several projects that are half done, including the third book in the <a href="http://biblepropheciesfulfilled.blogspot.com/p/new.html" target="_blank">"Best of the Bible Prophecies Fulfilled Blog" series, which is titled "The 7 Feasts of the L<span style="font-size: x-small;">ORD</span>."</a><br />
<br />
I have many more projects in the works that truly are begging for my attention.<br />
<br />
I love blogging about prophecy but I find I am constantly scrambling to keep up with this blog and don't have enough time to finish the other projects.<br />
<br />
So for a time (yet to be determined), I'm going to put blogging new posts here on hold so that I can go off and concentrate on creating more content for you, content that I believe you will learn from and enjoy.<br />
<br />
In the mean time, there is already a massive amount of information about Bible prophecy and what's going on in the world on this blog which I hope you'll discover for the first time or revisit and review.<br />
<br />
I hope to pop in from time to time and let you know my progress on the other projects or give some comments on what's going on in the world. There is so much happening it's hard for me to stop commenting -- even for a time!<br />

This triggered down markets around the world...

<li>Saudi Arabia executes a Shia cleric, angering Iran which then kick ambassadors out of its country. Other countries are pulling or booting ambassadors.

When Jesus came the first time, He came to die, to pay the death penalty for our sins. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/5gz4F" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) That is Easter. Anyone who chooses to reach out and take that gift from Jesus - God the Son - will be saved. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/qlR1j" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
But Jesus was resurrected from the dead with over 500 witnesses! That means Jesus is alive forever more! (<a href="http://ctt.ec/bL8OI" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) Though He rides into war, He will never die again. He comes to battle Evil and He... WILL ... WIN! (<a href="http://ctt.ec/0tev6" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<div>
<br />
Here are the Bible prophecies that tell us this:<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #990000;">His First Coming</span></h3>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God." (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+3%3A1-21&version=ESV" target="_blank">John 3:16-18</a>)</blockquote>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #990000;">His Second Coming</span></h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems [crowns], and he has a name written that no one knows but himself... On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+19%3A11-12%2C+16%2C+20%3A4-6&version=ESV" target="_blank">Revelation 19:11-12, 16</a>)<br />
<br />
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 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. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. 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. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+19%3A11-12%2C+16%2C+20%3A4-6&version=ESV" target="_blank">Revelation 20:4-6</a>)</blockquote>

When Jesus came the first time, He came meek and mild, as a Lamb. And he was taken to slaughter as a lamb. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/j4209" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
The next time Jesus comes, He will come as a conquering Lion! (<a href="http://ctt.ec/Tcd6d" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />

Here is where the Bible and Bible prophecy tells us this:<br />

<span style="color: #990000;">His First Coming</span></h3>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+1%3A29&version=ESV" target="_blank">John 1:29</a>)</blockquote>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #990000;">His Second Coming</span></h3>
</div>
<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?" And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. And one of the elders said to me, "Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals."

When Jesus came the first time, He was born as in infant human. He came crying in the night. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/bRb5I" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) He had the voice of a newborn baby.<br />
<br />
The next time Jesus comes, He will come with a shout! He will come with a powerful voice no one can ignore! He will have a voice that roars as the rushing sound of many waters! (<a href="http://ctt.ec/pU2Dv" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger."

Then I [John] turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.

When Jesus came the first time, the doors of the local hotel, the inn, were closed shut. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/7ba3g" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
When Jesus comes the next time, in the not-too-distant future, the doors of heaven itself will be opened! (<a href="http://ctt.ec/3Ra17" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />

Here is where the Bible tells us this:<br />

<span style="color: #990000;">His First Coming</span></h3>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

After this I [John] looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne.

When Jesus came the first time, He came to a poor couple who were traveling with thousands of others to comply with a royal edict requiring a census. When they arrived in Bethlehem, the city of David, the local hotel was already filled to capacity. So they ended up staying in a stable for animals, probably a cave...along with the animals, surrounded by cattle. He was laid in a feeding trough for the animals.

The next time Jesus comes, He will be surrounded by the armies of heaven! (<a href="http://ctt.ec/Rg1rM" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />

This is where the Bible tells us this:<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #990000;">His First Coming</span></h3>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,</blockquote>
<blockquote>
"Glory to God in the highest,<br />
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!"</blockquote>
<blockquote>
When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #990000;">His Second Coming</span></h3>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses.

When Jesus came the first time, He came small, and poor -- nothing like a King. This reminds me of the song, "How Should a King Come?" (See video below.) (<a href="http://ctt.ec/25ebi" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
The next time He comes, He will come as the most awesome King, as royalty! As a warrior King. Will you be of His army? Or of the army of His enemy? Choose now. Choose wisely.<br />
<br />
Here is where the Bible tells us this:<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #990000;">His First Coming</span></h3>
<br />
In Jesus' first coming He was wrapped in swaddling clothes and given a manger for a crib. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/Jfoc9" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn." <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+2%3A7&version=ESV" target="_blank">Luke 2:7</a></blockquote>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #990000;">His Second Coming</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></div>
The Bible tells us of His Second Coming when He comes to defeat Satan and evil. He is clothed in a royal robe dipped in blood -- which stands for the blood He shed on the cross at His first coming in order to pay the death penalty for every sinner who will accept His gift. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/bD3bd" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) Have you accepted His gift? You can do so right now in prayer. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/A7hza" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
Here is the Bible prophecy that tells us about His Second Coming:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords." <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+19%3A11-16&version=ESV" target="_blank">Revelation 19:13</a></blockquote>

Again this year I've planned a special series of Christmas posts for December 2015. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/X0aRQ" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) I hope you enjoy them.<br />
<br />
The long-prophesied Messiah, Jesus the Christ, came into the world just over 2,000 years ago. He came quietly, and most the world was unaware of His arrival. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/8Yxri" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) During His life He made Himself known. And while there were, perhaps, many people in the world at that time who did not hear of Him, through all the centuries since He is still known. He made an impact on this world, changing the eternal destinies of uncountable numbers of men and women, and that work continues today.<br />
<br />
While Jesus came once in obscurity, He is coming again with power and great glory! (<a href="http://ctt.ec/BcUaN" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
The Bible gives many prophecies about His next coming, His Second Coming. His next coming will be amazingly different than His first! (<a href="http://ctt.ec/u4OPg" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
This month of December, leading up to Christmas -- which is the celebration of Jesus' first coming -- we're going to look at 7 comparisons between His first coming and His prophesied second coming which will surely take place... and I believe soon. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/35q77" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy this series! Merry Christmas.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #990000;">His First Coming</span></h3>
<br />
In Jesus' first coming, He was born in obscurity.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"... Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men." (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+2%3A5-7&version=ESV" target="_blank">Philippians 2:5-7, ESV</a>)</blockquote>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #990000;">His Second Coming</span></h3>
<br />
When Jesus comes again, every eye, every human being on earth, will see Him! Here is the Bible prophecy that tells us this:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen." (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+1%3A7&version=ESV" target="_blank">Revelation 1:7</a>)</blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I wish to acknowledge: The first 6 of this series of 7 blog posts was inspired by the chart "The First and Second Comings of Christ" on page 198 of the book <i><a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Agents-Apocalypse-Riveting-Players-Times/dp/1414380496/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1448829145&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Agents of the Apocalypse</a></i> by Dr. David Jeremiah.</span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"><i><b><span style="color: #990000;">Special Announcement:</span><span style="color: #660000;"> </span></b></i></span></h3>
I have been posting on this blog three times a week. As you might imagine, that takes a lot of time in researching, writing, and preparing each post. At this time in my writing career, I have a lot of opportunities and projects I'd like to pursue, so I've made the decision to cut the number of posts back to two per week for the month of December until Christmas, allowing me to get more work done in other areas. New posts will appear here Tuesdays and Fridays. Then we'll take a holiday from Christmas to New Year's Day.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #990000;"><i>"Prophecies Fulfilled in the Birth of Jesus" book now on sale!</i></span></h3>

In my previous post, we watched a 15 minute video recorded December 30, 2009, by John Paul Jackson. That was Part 1 of his "The Perfect Storm Revisited." (<a href="http://ctt.ec/2pUbc" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
Today we'll see Part 2 of that video. This video says it was actually recorded December 30, 2009, although it was posted to Youtube on July 23, 2015.<br />
<br />
Again, as mentioned in my previous, this man <a href="http://www.daystar.com/news-updates/general-updates/john-paul-jackson-dreams-mysteries-passes-away/" target="_blank">died on February 18, 2015</a>. It is amazing to me to think about where he is now -- with the Lord Jesus -- watching what is happening on the earth from Glory and the perspective of eternity. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/yC481" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
I also tend to think about why the Lord may have taken him home last February. He must have completed his mission and the work the Lord had for him to do. Ironically John Paul Jackson speaks of Jeremiah prophesying for 23 years and then Daniel didn't even learn of his prophecies until after Jeremiah had died.<br />
<br />
In this video John Paul Jackson answers a lot of the "Why?" questions he receives.<br />
<br />
(There is an ad in the middle of the video. I do not make anything off this video, just so you know...)<br />
<br />
Here is Part 2 of "The Perfect Storm Revisited" with John Paul Jackson. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/EmUk6" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />

<br />
We're taking the day off today for the American holiday Thanksgiving, started by the Pilgrims who settled America and following their example to give thanks to the One True God, the God of the Bible, for His provision, grace, and mercy.<br />
<br />
Have great day. See you Saturday.<br />

In my previous two posts we've been getting to know John Paul Jackson and his teachings on how our world today is heading toward a "Perfect Storm" that will bring about the Biblically prophesied events known as the End Times, also known as the Tribulation period. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/OqU22" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
In the previous two videos (see "Related Articles" below for link to's), we were introduced to him and to his "Perfect Storm" teachings. In today's video we will hear from John Paul Jackson himself as he revisits his teaching in this Part 1 of "The Perfect Storm Revisited." (<a href="http://ctt.ec/6ew58" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
This video says it was actually recorded December 30, 2009, although it was posted to Youtube on July 19,2015. You might find it interesting, as I did, to hear what was happening in the United States and the world at the end of 2009 and view that with hindsight as well as comparing it to where we are now and what's happening now. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/5Fp7x" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
Of particular interest to me is at about 6:30 into the video where he talks about the then-recent Christmas Day attempted downing of a passenger plane ("recent" being back in 2009) by a terrorist, since a Russian passenger plane was recently bombed on October 31, 2015, and the terrorist group ISIS has claimed responsibility.<br />

In <a href="http://biblepropheciesfulfilled.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-perfect-storm-is-bringing-bible.html" target="_blank">my previous post</a> I included a video which talked <i>about </i>John Paul Jackson, a man I only recently discovered. He was a Bible teacher who taught about what God was telling him was soon to take place on the earth. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/hL29E" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) He taught about dreams and visions -- topics which can be hard for the rest of us to discern whether or not the dreamer or, uh, vision-er is spot on with God. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/b4U6I" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) Nevertheless, what I've heard so far is interesting and so I'd like to share more from this man. Please practice your own discernment as you see what you think.<br />
<br />
Today I'd like to share another video from The Jim Bakker Show. Interestingly this one is from last February and it was posted on YouTube two days after John Paul Jackson died.<br />
<br />
John Paul Jackson died February 18, 2015, from medical complications following cancer, according to <a href="http://www.daystar.com/news-updates/general-updates/john-paul-jackson-dreams-mysteries-passes-away/" target="_blank">this article on Daystar.com</a>.<br />
<br />
Yet thanks to the technologies we enjoy today, his teachings, and the understandings God gave him in his own words, from his own mouth (!), are still available to discover for those of us who did not know him while he lived on the earth. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/X9ybD" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
Please enjoy this introduction to John Paul Jackson.<br />

I had not heard of Christian leader and speaker John Paul Jackson before I saw the video I'm including in this post below. I have done a little investigation and learned a few basics about him. I was surprised to learn he passed away last February.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, I found what he has to say interesting and I think you will to, so I'm including a short video that talks about him that was posted about a month ago in October 2015.<br />
<br />
When I looked for information about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Paul_Jackson" target="_blank">John Paul Jackson on the interne</a>t, I found this:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
John Paul Jackson, Author<br />John Paul Jackson was an American author, teacher, conference speaker and founder of Streams Ministries International. Jackson often focused on supernatural topics like dreams, visions, and dream interpretation as found in the Bible. Wikipedia<br />Born: July 30, 1950, Waxahachie, TX<br />Died: February 18, 2015<br />Spouse: Diane Jackson</blockquote>
Since I just learned of him I can't say how much of his teachings I might agree with, but I agree with at least parts of what is predicted in this short video.<br />
<br />
I agree that a perfect storm is gathering -- and I'm not talking just the weather, (<a href="http://ctt.ec/d9135" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) I'm talking weather, natural disasters, political, financial, social, religious, and every other way you can think of. I agree that it will be world wide. No human on earth will escape being affected. I get that belief from <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew+24%3A1-22&version=NIV" target="_blank">Matthew 24:21-22</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.<br />22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.</blockquote>
I agree that our world will be rocked to its foundation. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/pairb" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
This video mentions professional football being permanently suspended. I don't know about that, but I've often thought that professional sports will soon cease for two reasons: they will implode under the weight of their finances when they can no longer sustain their large payrolls, and also when the world implodes and large events are threatened or attacked by terrorists. Interestingly to me, I wrote the rough draft of this post, including the previous sentence, before the events of last week of the terrorist attacks in Paris that began at the soccer (football) stadium.<br />
<br />
The man in this video states others predict the same.<br />
<br />
I don't know about a volcano erupting specifically in the Pacific Northwest nor about a massive earthquake down the middle of America dividing our nation geographically, but I do agree massive natural disasters are coming world wide. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/HEo7i" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
There's more in this video I found interesting so I think you will too:<br />

As you know, last Friday terrorists attacked Paris, France, in multiple coordinated attacks.<br />
<br />
While it's several days later, it's new enough that I'm waiting for Christian leaders' commentary to show up. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/3c3aj" target="_blank">Tweet this!</a>)<br />
<br />
I found a few items to share including these articles:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.charismanews.com/world/53234-isis-takes-responsibility-for-paris-attacks" target="_blank">"ISIS Takes Responsibility for Paris Attacks"</a> from CharismaNews.com.</li>

</ul>
I do find it interesting that the band playing at the concert hall that was attacked is from America and is called "Eagles of Death." The majestic bald eagle is, of course, the national symbol of America. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/8hfGn" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
This is an as-it-was-happening 4:46 minute video from The Jim Bakker Show:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DgAoHccVrAY/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DgAoHccVrAY?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
Like the attack of September 11, 2001, here in America, and all the others, I don't see a specific Bible prophecy fulfilled in this, but I do believe it is another rung in the ladder of escalation that is taking us towards the Tribulation period. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/FkrYO" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) I expect more to come. Do you?<br />

Remember the story of Ruth in the Old Testament book of the Bible by the same name? When Naomi's two son's died leaving both their young wives widowed, and Naomi chose to return to Israel, both daughters-in-law went with her for a ways. But then Orpah turned back. But Ruth clung to Naomi, went to Israel with her, and was blessed by God for her decision.<br />
<br />
Jonathan Cahn says that's the kind of "clinging for the blessing" we need today for our times. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/73eKa" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
Remember the gentile woman in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew+15%3A21-28&version=NIV" target="_blank">Matthew 15:21-28</a> who ask Jesus to deliver her daughter and Jesus first told her he came to the Jews? Remember how she asked again and then he helped her? That's how we're supposed to hang on, how we're supposed to keep asking and seeking Jesus. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/q337j" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
No matter what you see happening in this world, hold on to the one true God -- the Lord Jesus Christ. For the blessing. For the answer. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/4FBGa" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
Persevere clear to the end. The Lord Jesus will help us. This is what we're supposed to do. This is strengthening our faith.<br />
<br />
Do you have holy chutzpa? We need to. We are supposed to. Jonathan Cahn reminds us God will honor it. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/sX194" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />

I found another video with more conversation about the on-going effects of <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Shemitah-Important-Prophecy-Prophecies-Fulfilled-ebook/dp/B012P177FW/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8" target="_blank">the Shemitah</a>. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/U1vIc" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
Again this comes from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MorningsideStudios" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">The Jim Bakker Show</a>. (I'm really enjoying the fascinating guests and topics he brings on his show. I hope you are too.)<br />
<br />
In this video legal and financial expert Michael Snyder gives a lot of information about banks and companies that are now labeled "too big to fail," a snarky or sarcastic label that came about following the U.S. government's financial bailout of super-large companies,.<br />
<br />
As Michael Snyder reminds us, Jonathan Cahn never said to watch only one day -- the day of <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Shemitah-Important-Prophecy-Prophecies-Fulfilled-ebook/dp/B012P177FW/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8" target="_blank">the Shemitah</a>. Michael Snyder explains in previous <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Shemitah-Important-Prophecy-Prophecies-Fulfilled-ebook/dp/B012P177FW/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8" target="_blank">Shemitahs</a> some effects happened 30 days later or more, which we are at now following the most recent Shemitah. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/e5XHk" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
According to Snyder, "Too-big-to-fail banks are going to start coming apart." (<a href="http://ctt.ec/6B5cQ" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
It's more complicated than I can explain, so please take a few minutes to watch the video and learn more:<br />

Again today we are going to listen a video from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl0vYj7HgMTuhogiFgy79oQ" target="_blank">The Jim Bakker Show</a> as Jonathan Cahn talks about where we are living right now in history. He is giving reasons we can believe and know we are living in the Bible's most prophetic times ever in the history of the world. "Most prophetic times" means we are witnessing the culmination of all the Bible's prophecies coming to pass.<br />
<br />
OMG. There is so much information in this video you will just have to watch it for yourself. It runs a little longer, at 9:30 minutes. But it's so good and is so filled with history and information I'm sure you'll want to schedule time to watch it.<br />
<br />
Here are some highlights if you like to read, or if you prefer video just scroll down and watch it for yourself.<br />
<br />
So what is happening right now? We are living currently right now today in a Jubilee year. Jonathan Cahn says a Jubilee year is a "super Shemitah" -- it only comes every seven Shemitahs, while <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B012P177FW?keywords=Dianne%20E.%20Butts&qid=1446570408&ref_=sr_1_4&sr=8-4" target="_blank">Shemitahs</a> themselves only come every seven years.<br />
<br />
What happens in a Jubilee year?<br />
<br />
Whatever you lost you get back. Lost your home? You get it back. Lost possessions? You get them back. Are you Jewish and you lost your family's ancestral land in Israel? You get it back. This is the instructions God gave to Israel. It is a mass restoration.<br />
<br />
Could this scheduling of <a href="http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B012P177FW?keywords=Dianne%20E.%20Butts&qid=1446570408&ref_=sr_1_4&sr=8-4" target="_blank">the Shemitah</a> tell us when the End Times events will play out? Jonathan Cahn says yes and explains why. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/Oa8dp" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) Here's just a taste of what's in the video:<br />
<br />
The year 1917 was a year of shaking -- all over the earth. The Jewish people had not been in the land of Israel since before the time of Jesus. World War 1 is on the horizon.<br />
<br />
Then Jonathan Cahn relates the amazing story of General Allensby and why the Islamists retreated at the sound of his name!<br />
<br />
Also in 1917, a boy was born. His family moves to Jerusalem because of the Jubilee. He grows up and becomes the head Rabbi Shomo Goren.<br />
<br />
Fifty years later comes the second Jubilee - 1967. Mr. Cahn tells the miraculous story and timing of the Six Day War in Israel. Rabbi Shomo Goren is now 50. It's his Jubilee. It's Israel's Jubilee. As Israel takes back the city and enters Jerusalem through the Lion's Gate, Rabbi Goren blows the shofar and it is echoed throughout the land. The shofar much be blown in a Jubilee year. There so much more to this story in the video!<br />
<br />
Now, today, it's another 50 years later and we are in another Jubilee year. And you don't think things are going to happen?! (<a href="http://ctt.ec/1O8uG" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<br />
OMG again. There is so much information in this video you just HAVE to watch it! Very interesting history of Israel and true stories you did not know!<br />
<br />
Americans will also be interested in how the Liberty Bell and the Bible verse from <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=leviticus%2025%3A10&version=NIV;ESV" target="_blank">Leviticus 25:10 </a>engraved on that bell matches this story. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/4bRFd" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>)<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, when each of you shall return to his property and each of you shall return to his clan. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=leviticus%2025%3A10&version=NIV;ESV" target="_blank">Leviticus 25:10</a>)</blockquote>

<br />
I've always said something important will happen in Israel in 2018. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/C9MyE" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) I believe that because the Bible determines a "generation" to be 70 years (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+90%3A10&version=NIV;ESV" target="_blank">Psalm 90:10</a>), although obviously some individuals can live longer. Jesus' prophecy says "this generation will not pass away until all these things take place" (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24%3A34&version=NIV;ESV" target="_blank">Matthew 24:34)</a>. Israel was re-born (back in the land) in 1948. Seventy years, or a generation, later is 2018. That generation (70 years) the youngest of which were born in 1948 shall not all pass away means all these things have to happen before that generation passes away -- which, if a Biblical generation is 70 years, will pass away in 2018.<br />
<br />
I agree with Jonathan Cahn and Jim Bakker. We have so many reasons to believe we are living in the most prophetic times of human history. (<a href="http://ctt.ec/U3fAd" target="_blank">Tweet that!</a>) We are literally seeing the Bible's prophecies coming true and more prophecies setting up to come true.<br />
