Earth Has Been In the “Beginning of Sorrows” For Some Eight Years!

The Beginning of Sorrows Started with a Great Sumatra Earthquake!

It Was The First Of 3 Great Earthquakes December 2004 To Present!

I stopped keeping USGS Earthquake Statistics When Sorrows Began,

Since I’d used their Increase to let believers know they were Coming

We’ve Not Yet Entered The Tribulation Period, But It Is Drawing Nigh!

In my opinion the Tribulation Period may begin between 2014 & 2016

God used his earth and atmosphere in his created universe to destroy corrupt man in the flood and fiery destruction of man by his created elements. God will used it again during the Tribulation Period to judge corrupt man to end the Age of the Gentiles.

The foundations of the earth shook during God’s judgment of mankind during the flood of Noah’s day, and he will shake them again when the Tribulation Period Begins.

Genesis 6:10-13 – And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. [11] The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. [12] And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. [13] And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Genesis 7:11 – In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

Luke 17:26-30 – And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. [27] They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. [28] Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; [29] But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. [30] Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

How the Japan Quake moved the Earth on its Axis

Monday 14 March 2011

Experts have said the force of the earthquake in Japan shifted the earth’s axis by 25 centimetres and shortened the day by 1.8 microseconds – but what does this mean?

Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology has calculated that the earth’s axis moved by a quarter of a metre as a result of the devastating 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan, the largest ever recorded in the country.

The US Geological Survey said the main island of Japan had moved 2.4 metres as a result of the quake. It also said hundreds of aftershocks have hit Japan since the main quake, at least two dozen of which have topped magnitude 6, the size of the Christchurch earthquake.

More on the science of the quake from Channel 4 News

Japan earthquake: planning for disaster

Tsunami science: a wall of water

Japan: how dangerous are nuclear blasts?

The earthquake, which has had an appalling impact in Japan after causing a huge tsunami, is the fifth most powerful to hit the world in the past century.

It surpassed Japan’s biggest previous tremor, the Great Kanto Quake of 1923, which had a magnitude of 7.9 and killed more than 140,000 people in the Tokyo area.

Channel 4 News special report – Japan: tsunami to nuclear crisis

It has also shortened the length of a day on earth by around 1.8 microseconds. To put that into context, one earth day is 24 hours, or 86,400 seconds long.

The length of days varies by around 1 millisecond a year naturally – 1,000 microseconds – and this isn’t the first time an earthquake has had an impact on time in this way. Last year’s earthquake in Chile, which had an 8.8 magnitude, also sped up the earth’s rotation and shaved 1.26 microseconds off the day.

AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH DO SHAKE

BEGIN 2005 ARCHIVE SPECIAL PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 224A

PREVIEW OF COMING TRIBULATION HORRORS

The Great Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake & Tsunami!

Some 27 years ago I began a lectures series titled “A Geological Exposition of the Second Coming of Christ.” In that series I exposited on a wide variety of Scriptures describing the geological topographical changes in the crust of the earth, both horizontal and vertical, and the resultant affects it would produce on the geomagnetic and geophysical balance of the earth’s axis, as well as its movement in space.

For more than four months, teams of scientists have been evaluating the characteristics and results of the great earth movement that produced the massive killer tsunami on December 26, 2004 in the archipelago of the Malayan East Indies.

A correlation with what I have been teaching for 27 years, and the characteristics and results of the great earth movement, will be made in this Update, along with a preview of the same things which will occur many times over during the last three and one-half years of the tribulation period. I have been teaching what follows for 29 years at Dardanelle MBC.

The first earthquake in the book of Revelation occurs on the opening of the sixth seal and begins the last three and one-half years of great tribulation with the initial movement of the earth’s massive tectonic structure.

Revelation 6:12A – And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake;

Revelation 6:14B – And every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
The last earthquake in the book of Revelation occurs on the pouring out of the last vial of wrath, and closes the movement of the earth’s massive tectonic structure.

Revelation 16:18 – And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

Revelation 16:20 – And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

There is no question that all the mountains and islands of this planet are firmly attached to the earth’s surface crust, nor is there any question that the earth’s crust floats and moves in the direction determined by the currents of magma underlying its crust, nor is there any question that the mountains and islands merely ride on top of the crust in the direction of the crust’s movement, nor is there any question that their longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates in microseconds change as they float as plate passengers, nor is there any question that their location coordinates in microseconds have considerably changed over the last 500 years, having fled from their coordinates of 500 years ago, and are no longer found at their old locations. Their 500 year changes in location will be much less than their tribulation movements.

The first great earthquake in Revelation will initiate an accelerated movement of the entire plate structure and, by the time of the last quake in Revelation, there will have been an average worldwide movement of 3 to 5 feet along the borders of the thousands of miles of plate boundaries across the surface of the earth. This will produce thousands of fantastic worldwide earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis along the borders of the tectonic plates for some three and one half years.

Now, let’s compare this claim of 3 to 5 feet worldwide movement with the Malay Archipelago event. Scientists estimated the average slippage along the entire length of the plate boundary was in excess of 16 feet, with some areas moving nearly 50 feet. The entire length of the fault boundary slippage was almost 800 miles, like a movement along a crack in the earth from Florida to New England.

An earthquake normally lasts less than 30 seconds, but the December 26 earthquake lasted at least 10 minutes, and had a magnitude between 9.0 and 9.3. Aftershocks have raked the area for the last four months. All the phenomena associated with worldwide tectonic plate movements were graphically described by the prophet Isaiah and by Jesus in many of his statements.

Isaiah 29:6 – Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

Luke 21:25,26 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Some 30 years ago I was taught the principle of isostasy. It has to do with principles governing the geomagnetic and geophysical balance of the earth, and is directly affected by massive weight balance shifts in horizontal and vertical movements of the outer and inner crust. The earth has experienced more than one mountain building period which produced periods of shift in its isostasy, causing reversals of its magnetic field, and such events as abnormal percussion of its axis, causing a tottering of its axis, and a slight change in its solar orbit. I am convinced this will happen during the last three and one half years of the tribulation period. The single event in the December episode in the earth’s crust in the East Indies will be magnified by a multiplicity of similar events, which will lead to worldwide tectonic chaos. Scientists were amazed that the entire earth vibrated. The ground in Sri Lanka, more than 1000 miles from the earthquake epicenter, moved up and down by almost four inches, and no place on earth escaped movement. It was powerful enough to vibrate the whole planet as much as half an inch. The quake released an amount of energy equal to a 100 gigaton bomb. A one gigaton bomb releases the energy of a billion tons of TNT, and the power of that energy lasted longer than any quake ever recorded.

I have taught for 29 years that the earth’s outer crust, which now consists of some 27 tectonic plates, varying in size from very small to gigantic, would begin to move on the opening of the sixth seal and, by the time the movement ceased some three and one-half years later, there might be as many as 30 to 35 due to breakage into smaller pieces. And, because of this massive change in isostasy the planet would go out of balance sufficiently to briefly totter on its geomagnetic axis during the tribulation, and there would be a slight change in its elliptical orbit around the sun.

The Old Testament prophetic tribulation Scriptures are indicative of what I have written in the three preceding paragraphs, some of which are as follows.

Haggai 2:6 – For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

Ezekiel 38:19,20 – For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; [20] So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

Isaiah 24:1 – Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

Isaiah 13:13 – Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

Isaiah 24:19,20 – The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. [20] The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

In Isaiah 24:19, the expression, “clean dissolved,” does not mean the entire earth melted. The literal meaning of the Hebrew word “parar” is “to break in pieces. It was translated as “clean dissolved” in the Authorized Version because any large object broken into smaller pieces would be more difficult to see in its individual smaller pieces than when it was whole. Isaiah 24:19 portrays an earth broken into smaller tectonic pieces of crust by the great excessive movements of the outer crust. Isaiah 19:20 describes the results of this great shifting – the earth will totter slightly in space on its axis as though it had lost its equilibrium like a drunk person. The word translated “cottage” is the Hebrew word “melunah,” which means “hammock.” It pictures a hammock tied between two trees, and pictures the earth swinging slightly in space like a man dozing in a hammock. Because of a great redistribution of weight in the earth’s upper crust, the earth may undergo a reversal of its geomagnetic poles. The close of verse 20 advises it will never be found exactly as it was before the great shaking occurred.

I believe the Lord means just what he said in Matthew and Daniel concerning the tribulation period.

Matthew 24:21,22 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

Daniel 12:1 – And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Nahum 1:6 – Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

And many New Testament Scriptures are companion in character to previously listed Old Testament prophecies of the coming terrible events of the tribulation period. Once the tectonic plates begin to shift on a worldwide basis, it will eventually build a cloud shroud around the earth in the stratosphere, as the smoke from thousands of volcanic eruptions is blown upward through the vast tropopause inversion layer. This movement of tectonic plates will send hail, fire, and brimstone down upon the earth in a fantastic display of graphic horror never seen before by man on a worldwide scale – just a few of these Scriptures follow.

Revelation 6:15 – And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

Revelation 8:5B – And there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

Revelation 11:13A – And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand:

Malachi 4:1 – For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

Revelation 8:7 – The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

Revelation 8:12 – And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

Revelation 9:2 – And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

Joel 3:15 – The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

Joel 3:13,14 – Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. [14] Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

Jude14,15 – And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, [15] To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

Zechariah 14:4 – And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Zechariah 13:8,9 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. [9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

Malachi 4:2 – But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

Acts 2:20,21 – The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: [21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Acts 4:12 – Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Romans 10:13 – For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Romans 10:17 – So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Romans 10:9,10 – That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

The Time of Jacob’s Trouble – Part 1A

Worldwide Tectonic Chaos

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

For more than thirty years I have attempted to warn people that the day of God’s redemption was not in the distant future, but was nearer than many believed. No man has been able to predict the exact time when the terrible events of the tribulation period would suddenly introduce the final three and one-half years before the final battle of Armageddon, and I have always readily admitted that while I knew they would happen, I could not tell exactly when. However, while I cannot predict the day, the week, the month, the year, or the season (Summer, Fall, Winter, or Spring), I have always said that we could at least know when our redemption was “drawing nigh.”

I completed my first book, “Tectonic Chaos,” in 1977, after graduating from Arkansas Tech University. In it I wrote about the type of event that has just occurred as a result of the great seafloor earthquake off the northwestern tip of Sumatra, which could end with a death toll of some 28,000. It is somewhat ironic that I discussed another great tsunami generated to the east of Sumatra in the Sunda Straits of Indonesia in the first edition of the book, pointing out that it took more 36,000 lives. It was generated by a massive explosion in the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa volcano. And now, more than 120 years later, another tsunami is taking a massive number of lives. The following quote is taken from the first edition of “Tectonic Chaos,” which was published by Diamond W. Graphics in 1979. (Begin Quote)

“Furthermore, I assure you, that when a massive worldwide shifting of the tectonic plates occurs, then seismic wave action (tsunami) would destroy any ships anchored in ports around the world. At any given time about two-thirds of the world’s shipping is under way in the open seas or inland waterways, and the remaining one-third is in port or near the world’s coastlines. Ships on the open sea will be virtually unaffected by the tsunami waves, but some will abruptly rise up on steeply inclined shorelines to perhaps hundreds of feet in height, and destroy all ships in port at that time. These gigantic shore waves, called tsunami by the Japanese, occur in conjunction with massive landslides and/or vertical faulting on the seafloor caused by strong earthquakes and/or volcanic activity. Tsunami may travel thousands of miles across the oceans at speeds in excess of 450 miles per hour, and spread inland across low coastal areas as destructive waves maintaining a height of perhaps 60 feet for a brief period. One of the most disastrous tsunami on record caused the drowning of some 36,000 people living on islands in the East Indies.” (End Quote)

We are currently putting up an updated version of “Tectonic Chaos” on our Web Site chapter by chapter, and already have chapters 1 through 28 on it, with 8 chapters still to be put up, which we hope to get up by the end of January 2005.

The final Age of the Gentiles in which we live, is exactly like the generation of Israel before it was judged by God and carried into Babylonian captivity. It wanted to hear only “smooth” things, good tidings that advised them their future looked great, that judgment was not for them, and that no tribulation would come upon them. Anyone who dared to tell them it was near, was ignored or rejected, but they loved those who said they were from God and told them what they wanted to hear. This was true of the northern kingdom of Israel before it was carried into Assyrian captivity, and of the southern kingdom of Judah before it also was carried to Babylon, and it is now true of many of God’s children in the age of the Gentiles, who are about to go into a time of tribulation judgment. God’s warning for rebellion of his children is good for all generations, including the present one.

Isaiah 30:8-13 – Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: [9] That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord: [10] Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: [11] Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. [12] Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: [13] Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

Jeremiah 5:11-14,31 – For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord. [12] They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: [13] And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them. [14] Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them. [31] The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

This is the condition among the majority of the children of God in this last generation before the Second Advent. Fellows like me who have the audacity to teach that the children of God might have to go through part of the tribulation period are labeled as the “doom and gloom boys.” But I ask the same question as Jeremiah, “What will ye do in the end thereof?” Many of the teachers of the Word today are scratching the ears of the hearers, giving them comic relief from their itching fears of possibly being exposed to any kind of tribulation for the glory of God.

II Timothy 4:3-5 – For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; [4] And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. [5] But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

God’s coming judgment, identified as the time of Jacob’s trouble, contrary to popular belief, will begin while the saved are still be on the same planet with descendants of Jacob, and all born again believers that remain alive in the flesh, will remain on the earth until just before the seven vials of God’s wrath begin to be poured out.

Revelation 16:1 – And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

I Thessalonians 5:9 – For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
When you read this, if you are one who believes all the saved will definitely be caught out before the tribulation period begins, let me assure you that I have no desire to anger you. But I do implore you to read and consider the following Prophecy Updates in our Archives, which you may read by clicking on the arrow at the top of this update, and then selecting the following Updates from it for study – Prophecy Updates 166C, 72D, 74A, 78A, 82A, and 144F.

The horrific earthquake and resultant tsunami, which was generated off the northwestern tip of Sumatra last week, has taken an astronomical total of lives, and has once again demonstrated the real possibility of worldwide chaos when a massive movement of the earth’s tectonic plate structure does begin. This is not the beginning of the tribulation period, but I do assure you, that when the great earthquake in Revelation 6:12 occurs in the Jordan River Valley, it will mark the beginning of the last three and a half years of the tribulation period, and that the type of event which occurred in southeastern Asia will be occurring hundreds of times all along the shorelines of this planet until the end of the battle of Armageddon. I finished my third book, titled “The Bottomless Pit,” in 1979, and it was published by Bogard Press in the early eighties. It was later given a new title, “Birth Pangs from the Bottomless Pit,” and published in the mid-1980s. The following is extracted from the first edition of “The Bottomless Pit,” and similar comments may be viewed by clicking backward in our Birth Pang Archives until you reach Birth Pang Number 5. (Begin Extract from “The Bottomless Pit.”)

“The preceding chapters have continually added to the premise that God will destroy sinful mankind “with the earth.” This chapter, and those which follow, will continue to build upon that premise. The major contention of this premise is that God will move the massive tectonic plates shown in figure 3 approximately one to two feet during the last three and one-half years of the Tribulation Period. It is this destroying “with the earth” that will create the horrifying scenes described in Isaiah 29:6 and Luke 21:25.

Isaiah 29:6 – Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire,

Luke 21:25 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring,

In Luke 21:25 the word translated “wave” is “saiou,” which means a particular type of wave. It means a wave that breaks on the shoreline, a wave of the surf. The nations of the world will be in great perplexity because of the roaring sound of the sea and surf. It is this phenomenon of sea and surf that will destroy one-third of the world’s shipping.

The claim has been made that unbelievably violent earth¬quake and volcanic activity will be occurring along the area indicated by dashed lines of figure 3 during the last half of the Tribulation Period. Please note that most of these great cracks in the earth’s crust lie on the ocean and sea floors of the world. If I am correct about the earthquake and volcanic activity along these cracks, then I am positive that what I am about to describe will definitely occur.

There are many types of waves that exist on the ocean sur¬face. The most common being those induced by the winds and tides of the earth. But the most horrifying of all waves that pound the shorelines of the world is not produced by wind or tide; it is the unbelievable tsunami produced by earthquake and volcanic eruption on the seafloor.

Tsunami waves are not “tidal waves.” They are caused by undersea earthquakes or volcanoes and have killed millions of people down through the ages. Tsunami is the Japanese word for “storm wave.” The Alaska earthquake of 1964 produced the tsunami wave pattern shown in figure 6. As you can observe from the figure, it only took the tsunami four hours to move from the epicenter to Hawaii. Tsunami travel as fast as some jet aircraft. Tsunami can now be predicted so that appalling death tolls of yesteryear can be avoided. A network of seismic warning stations now functions across the Pacific Ocean to give early warning of an approaching tsunami.

As you can observe on the lower half of figure 6, a tsunami is generated when an undersea earthquake or volcanic eruption causes a sudden downward movement of an earth block. The downward displacement of water above the block produces not a surface wave, but rather a wave which moves horizontally outward through the water from the bottom to the top. Tsunami cross the ocean as long low waves which seagoing vessels may not even notice. But as you may observe in figure 7, when the tsunami approaches the shoreline the energy of the wave is confined in shallower and shallower water. Tsunami have been known to rise to heights in excess of two hundred fifty feet. The increase in tsunami occurrences, during the past 190 years, is made evident in figure 8. When a tsunami crashes against a coastline it destroys everything in its path, often up to half a mile inland.

Shipping on the open sea is virtually unaffected by a tsunami, but woe unto the ship that is caught in port. There is not a ship built which can withstand the force of a full blown tsunami as it roars into port. In one day the old city of Lisbon and all the ships in port were destroyed by a wall of water that washed half a mile inland. During the last three and one-half years of the Tribulation Period most of the coastal cities of the world and the ships in port will be completely destroyed by tsunami after tsunami. This is what will produce much of the distress and perplexity among the nations of the world. Now, how does all this fit in with Revelation 8:9 regarding John’s statement: “and the third part of the ships were destroyed?”

At any given time approximately two-thirds of the world’s shipping is “under way” on the open sea, and one-third is in port or dry dock. The two-thirds on the open sea will be spared, and the one-third in port will be destroyed by tsunami during the sounding of the second trumpet.

The following Scriptures leave little doubt that God has con¬trol of the sea and the destructive forces of its waves. Those who “do business in great waters” will lose one-third of their busi¬ness on the sounding of the second trump.

Psalm 89:9 – Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them,

Isaiah 51:15 – But I am the Lord thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The Lord of hosts is his name,

Psalm 107:23-25 – They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof,

The earth is God’s creation and all the things thereof. God does not need man’s weaponry or technology to fulfill His prophecies. God has already made all the elements necessary to destroy man, and He has molded them into forms, shapes, com¬pounds and processes capable of fulfilling His revelation of end-time events. I know that a great war will occur. Many men will die in that war. Bullets and other weaponry will kill many of them; but that will be only a few compared to the earthquake, fire and brimstone toll exacted by the force of Almighty God upon sinful mankind. For too long biblical expositors have been concentrating on a single tree (man’s weaponry and technology) as what will fulfill Revelation prophecies. In so doing, they have overlooked the forest of God’s creation, among which are the earth’s many natural destructive forces.

Man will not destroy himself in a nuclear holocaust of his own making. If you desire to be frightened by such a possibili¬ty, be my guest and join the crowd. I do not fear the armies with thermonuclear arsenals. May I remind you whom you should fear with this closing passage from Luke 12:4,5 – And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.” (End Extract from “The Bottomless Pit.”)

The people on this planet are approaching the time of Jacob’s trouble, but many believe it is strictly for Israel, the descendants of Jacob. Even if you do believe that, I hope you will remember this Update when you discover the time before the pouring of the first vial is not God’s wrath, but rather his judgment on all the occupants of the earth, both on Jew and Gentile. Yes, I agree, the main trust of it will be on the Jews in Israel, but the rest of earth’s inhabitants will experience much more than they are currently anticipating.

Jeremiah 30:7 – Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

The following Scriptures delineate the specifics of what will be occurring during the time of Jacob’s trouble.

Daniel 12:1 – And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Matthew 24:21 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Isaiah 5:14 – Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

Isaiah 29:6 – Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

Luke 21:25-28 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

I assure you that the wrath of God will never be poured on his children, but God’s wrath is clearly identified as being seven vials of wrath, which all follow the blowing of the seventh trumpet. God never promised that his children would not be judged during the tribulation period, and I believe the seals and trumpets represent his judgment, not his wrath.

Revelation 16:1 – And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

I Thessalonians 5:9 – For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. (See Birth Pangs 36 to 43 in our Archives, and Archive Prophecy Updates 5 to 11)

Zechariah 13:8 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. (See Prophecy Updates 92 and 93 in our Archives)

Zechariah 13:9 –And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

Ice age, Polar reversal, super volcanic activities, massive earthquakes, Tsunamis, hurricanes – we are in the middle of a deadly 11,500 year cycle.

By the India Daily Technology Team

September 28, 2005

According to some geologists and scientists, we are in the middle of a deadly 11,500 year cycle when the ice age comes back. The start of the cycle is marked with Polar reversal, super volcanic activities, massive earthquakes, Tsunamis and nasty hurricanes. 11,500 years back, the last ice age happened and what we have started experiencing – all happened.

In the last one year the earth experienced the largest three earthquakes in the last two hundred years. The under water volcanoes and earthquakes have gone up 88% over the last three years. The continental earthquakes have gone up by 62% during the same time frame. The rate of increase of these earthquakes and volcanoes when drawn against time is staggering.

We are experiencing hurricanes and storms like never seen before in recorded history. The intensity of these storms in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans are increasing exponentially.

A simulation model monitoring the recent seismic disturbances – earthquakes and volcanoes show extreme disturbance in the outer and inner core of the earth. The interaction of the inner core and the rest of the earth cause the electromagnetic properties of the earth. The ongoing polar reversal is accelerating and will eventually have reverse polarity in North and South Pole. According to the simulation model, the earth’s inner core and outer core is going through some serious disturbances. That in turn is influencing the viscous semi fluid mantle. When that happens, the convection within mantle increases substantially. That is also influenced by solar polar reversal. In our modern age we have not experienced a simultaneous solar and terrestrial polar reversal. Between now and 2012, these disturbances will keep increasing, making earth’s crust and tectonic plates very disturbed, causing severe volcanoes and earthquakes.

END INDIA DAILY ARCHIVE ARTICLE

Revelation 20:7-9 – And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, [8] And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. [9] And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

Have you ever wondered how, after a thousand years of Christ reigning from the temple in Jerusalem, the world’s population could be drawn by the power of Satan to attack Jerusalem? Since he has the ability to influence man’s mindset, would it not be possible for him to place into the minds of the people that what happened 1000 years before was just a normal thing, something simply to be expected in long cycles of the earth’s history – that it was not God who did it, and they have nothing to fear from a God who does not exist? Would not the reasoning you have just read in the India Daily article, as to why it happened, be what humanity came to believe, rather that it being accomplished by God’s control over his own creation?

I HAVE WARNED ABOUT THE JUAN DE FUCA PLATE SINCE 20TH CENTURY

IT WILL BE HORRIFIC DURING THE TRIBULATION PERIOD

ALL THINGS DO CONTINUE AS THEY WERE SINCE THE FLOOD, BUT THE CURRENT THREE OCCURRENCES AT THE SAME TIME FIT THE PROPHETIC PATTERN OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT PROPHECIES.

ODD GEOLOGICAL EVENT 1

CURRENT POST 1700 NORTHWEST JUAN DE FUCA EARTHQUAKE

The Juan de Fuca Plate is a tectonic plate generated from the Juan de Fuca Ridge and is currently subducting under the northerly portion of the western side of the North American Plate at the Cascadia subduction zone. It is named after the explorer of the same name.

One of the smallest of Earth’s tectonic plates, the Juan de Fuca Plate is a remnant part of the once-vast Farallon Plate, which is now largely subducted under the North American Plate.

The Juan de Fuca plate system has its origins with Panthalassa continent’s oceanic basin and crust. This continental crust has primarily been subducted under the North American plate, and the Eurasian Plate.

Panthalassa’s oceanic plate remnants are understood to be the Juan de Fuca, Gorda, Cocos and the Nazca plates, all four of which were part of the Farallon Plate.

The Juan de Fuca plate is bounded on the south by the Blanco Fracture Zone (running northeast off the coast of Oregon, USA), on the north by the Nootka Fault (running southwest off Nootka Island, near Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada), and along the west by the Pacific Plate (which covers most of the Pacific Ocean and is the largest of Earth’s tectonic plates).

The Juan de Fuca plate itself has since fractured into three pieces, and the name is applied to the entire plate in some references, but in others only to the central portion.

The three fragments are differentiated as such : the piece to the south is known as the Gorda Plate and the piece to the north is known as the Explorer Plate. The separate pieces are demarcated by the large offsets of the undersea spreading zone.

This subducting plate system has formed the Cascade Range, the Cascade Volcanic Arc, and the Pacific Ranges, along the west coast of North America from southern British Columbia to northern California. These in turn are part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, a much larger-scale volcanic feature that extends around much of the rim of the Pacific Ocean.

The last megathrust earthquake at the Cascadia subduction zone was the 1700 Cascadia earthquake, estimated to have a moment magnitude of 8.7 to 9.2. Based on carbon dating of local tsunami deposits, it occurred around 1700. As reported in National Geographic on 8 December 2003, Japanese records indicate the quake caused a tsunami in Japan which occurred during the evening of Tuesday, 26 January 1700.

In 2008, small earthquakes were observed within the plate. The unusual quakes were described as “more than 600 quakes over the past 10 days in a basin 150 miles southwest of Newport”. The quakes were unlike most quakes in that they did not follow the pattern of a large quake, followed by smaller aftershocks; rather, they were simply a continual deluge of small quakes. Furthermore, they did not occur on the tectonic plate boundary, but rather in the middle of the plate. The subterranean quakes were heard on hydrophones, and scientists described the sounds as similar to thunder, and unlike anything heard previously

ODD METEOROLOGICAL EVENT 2

THE UNUSUAL CURRENT NORTHEAST PERFECT STORM

Begin Excerpt from UK Daily Telegraph

Mass evacuations as ‘mega-storm’ approaches New York

Mayor Michael Bloomberg has ordered the evacuation of 375,000 people in low-lying areas threatened by Hurricane Sandy.

4:34PM GMT 28 Oct 2012

“This is a serious and dangerous storm,” Bloomberg told a news conference as he ordered the mandatory evacuation ahead of the storm which is expected to start hitting on Monday.

US authorities ordered coastal evacuations and airlines canceled transatlantic flights as Hurricane Sandy bore down on the east coast after claiming 66 lives in the Caribbean.

Forecasters warned of catastrophic impacts from the mid-Atlantic to southern New England as the historic storm crashes ashore late Monday or early Tuesday, with New Jersey and New York City bracing for particularly dangerous conditions.

Nine days out from election day, the hurricane also threw the US presidential contest into disarray as Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney cancelled events and prepared for the unexpected fallout.

Torrential rain and high waves battered South and North Carolina as the storm moved up the coast. The US meteorological service warned that New Jersey and New York could see record flooding because of the storm surge.

Sandy, which is packing hurricane force winds upwards of 75 miles per hour (120 kilometers per hour), has already claimed at least 66 lives in the Caribbean, most of them in Haiti, where 51 people were reported killed.

New York authorities issued an evacuation order for hundreds of thousands of people in low-lying coastal towns on Sandy’s projected route. About 1,100 national guard troops were to be deployed in the towns and villages.

New York mayor Michael Bloomberg issued a mandatory evacuation order for 375,000 people in the city alone, including the threatened coastal zones of Coney Island and Staten Island.

The city was to open 72 shelters in schools and other buildings. It ordered subway, buses and commuter trains to close down from Sunday night. “This is a serious and dangerous storm,” Bloomberg told a news conference.

At the city’s Rockaway Beach, inhabitants started putting up sand bags on Saturday and many said they would brave out the storm as they did with Hurricane Irene last year.

Delaware and New Jersey also issued evacuation orders. Authorities ordered gambling to halt in Atlantic City from Sunday.

Airlines have cancelled hundreds of flights into airports along the US east coast.

Air France cancelled all flights into New York and Washington on Monday while US airlines have called off hundreds of domestic flights. New York airports were to stay open on Sunday but the airport authority warned passengers to expect disruption.

At 1500 GMT, Sandy was about 575 miles (930 kilometers) south of New York, the US National Hurricane Center said.

Though still far out at sea, the massive storm was spinning off high winds and seas for hundreds of miles around.

Television images from North Carolina’s Outer Banks, a chain of low lying islands, showed wild surf and torrential rain.

Hurricane force winds were expected to batter a huge section of the US east coast from Virginia to Massachusetts.

Current projections show the storm making landfall early Tuesday on the Delaware coast, then bending north and inland as it merges with a cold front descending from Canada.

Weather experts say that the collision of Sandy with a cold front from the north could create a super-charged storm bringing floods, high winds and even heavy snow across a swath of eastern states and as far inland as Ohio.

Meteorologists have nicknamed the phenomenon a “Frankenstorm” because it is due to hit just before Halloween on October 31 and is composed of parts from different sources, as was Frankenstein’s monster.

Governors declared states of emergency in Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, the US capital Washington and parts of North Carolina.

“Sandy will be more like a large nor’easter on steroids,” wrote Alex Sosnowski, a senior meteorologist for Accuweather.com, who said it could lead to billions of dollars in damage.

Hizbollah debates dropping support for the regime of President Bashar al-Assad

Hizbollah has been one of the staunchest supporters of the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, but now there are bitter arguments within its ranks about whether it is time to change course.

By Nick Meo, Ruth Sherlock, and Carol Malouf in Beirut

5:00PM BST 27 Oct 2012

The giant banner with a portrait of Bashar al-Assad, strung across a busy street in South Beirut, proclaimed loyalty to the Syrian president — and cursed his enemies.

“Those who hate the Lion of Syria are sons of bitches,” it read, in Arabic slang with a play on the meaning of the Assad name.

Elsewhere in the Arab world he may be hated as a bloody tyrant, but in Hizbollah’s South Beirut stronghold Mr Assad is still a hero.

A couple of streets away, the British hostage Terry Waite was held captive for four years until his release in 1991, and nearby is the site of the notorious massacre of Sabra and Shatila where perhaps as many as 3500 people were murdered by pro-Israeli militias in 1982.

Hizbollah’s reclusive leader Hassan Nasrallah, the undisputed head of Lebanon’s Shia Muslims, lives nearby in a heavily guarded apartment complex. Hizbollah’s own police force, in khaki fatigues, patrol the streets, which are noticeably more crowded and scruffier than in the centre of Beirut with its nightclubs and fashionable shops.

Hizbollah – “the party of God” – needed help from neighbouring Syria to become the most powerful force in Lebanese politics, and it could always depend on the ruling family in Damascus during its wars with Israel.

Now in Mr Assad’s time of need Lebanon’s Shias have mostly been loyal in return – providing logistical and moral support and even sending fighters into Syria’s civil war to kill his enemies.

But in Lebanon there are as many Christians and Sunni Muslims as there are Shia. Now, as doubts grow that Mr Assad will survive and Syria’s civil war begins to spread into Lebanon, The Sunday Telegraph has been told of secret arguments raging inside Hizbollah’s ranks about whether the time has come to stop backing Mr Assad.

To many in South Beirut, where Hizbollah runs hospitals, schools, and rubbish collections, and pays pensions to the families of slain fighters, that would be unthinkable.

“Bashar is a major backer of our resistance, and so we are for him,” said Ahmad Suleiman, 43, a burly Hizbollah loyalist.

Mr Suleiman’s house was blasted into rubble in an air strike during the bloody 2006 war with Israel that Hizbollah claims to have won; in 1996 his brother was killed by an Israeli tank shell, making him “a martyr” he says proudly. He can remember “arrogant” Israeli soldiers patrolling his streets during the invasion of Lebanon, when he was a boy — streets that are still scarred with bullets from that time.

“The resistance”, as Hizbollah is called by its supporters, relied on Syrian and Iranian weapons and training to fight the Israelis. A bond was thus forged between Damascus, Tehran and South Beirut that until now has always looked unbreakable.

Many Hizbollah supporters insist it is Assad who is the victim, not the opposition, and that he is worthy of their support.

“In Syria there are terrorist attacks, torture, killing and beheading, all done by the enemies of the regime,” Mr Suleiman said. “This is not a revolution like the one in Egypt. Ninety per cent of the Syrians support Bashar. He is a good man and he will survive.

“If it looks as if he is in real danger, we will send thousands of our men into Syria. And if America or Nato is stupid enough to intervene, we will be there defending Arab lands.”

There were reports of fresh fighting in Syria on Saturday, with opposition activists claiming Syrian artillery bombarded cities, in breach of a truce meant to mark the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday. Both the government and rebels agreed a truce. Mohammed Doumany, an activist from the Damascus suburb of Douma, said he had counted 15 explosions in an hour and said at least two civilians had been killed. There were also reports of heavy fighting along the Syria-Turkey border.

Hizbollah has a private army, regarded as a terrorist organisation by the United States, which is much stronger than Lebanon’s national army – yet it is also inside Lebanon’s government as part of an uneasy arrangement of rival political parties.

Since it was founded in the 1980s it has built a reputation as a formidably disciplined organisation, tolerating no public dissent. But a year ago the rival Palestinian militant organisation Hamas, which controls Gaza, abandoned its support for Mr Assad. Now, insiders say, Hizbollah is engaged in a fierce debate behind closed doors over whether to follow suit.

“There are different points of view, with some saying that we should push for a settlement within Syria and not bank on Assad staying,” said one Lebanese with connections to senior Hizbollah circles.

Some Hizbollah members, including clerics, fear that their support for Mr Assad is dragging them into a dangerous fight with Sunni Arabs – the other side of Islam’s main sectarian divide – in Syria and Lebanon, he said.

They say it is now urgent to end their support for Mr Assad, so that a new relationship can be formed with whoever comes to power in Syria next.

“There is awareness inside Iran and Hizbollah that they are going to have confrontation with the Sunnis, or are going to have to bridge the gap between them,” the source said. “The hardest topic is Syria. The future of Hizbollah and the Shia is directly related to the future of Syria. If Bashar is to be sacrificed, let’s sacrifice him and not Syria.”

The most dramatic sign of dissent within Hizbollah is the cancellation of a forthcoming party convention that is usually held every three years – the first time anybody can remember it being dropped. The official explanation is that it would be a security risk.

But a Shia politician from an important political family said: “They are not able to hold their convention because they are afraid they cannot agree on Syria.”

Disagreement is said to be strongest between civilian Hizbollah members, who are more likely to favour cutting links with Damascus, and its powerful military wing, trained and indoctrinated by Iran and still fiercely loyal to the Syrian regime.

“I have heard that the division is deep between the Lebanese branch of Hizbollah and the military. Hassan Nasrallah decided to cancel the convention,” said the source. “He was worried he would not be able to come up with a final resolution.”

Mr Nasrallah pledged his loyalty to the Damascus regime in public several times at the beginning of the crisis, but has shown much less enthusiasm about doing so recently.

“Nasrallah is anxious,” said one observer of the South Beirut political scene. “At every crossroads he watches closely what is happening.”

Car bombings and clashes between militias, alarming signs that Syria’s violent struggle is spreading to Lebanon, have forced many of his followers to wonder where their involvement with Mr Assad is leading them.

Dozens of Lebanese have died in fighting between pro- and anti-Assad factions in Lebanon’s cities this year, and the car bomb assassination nine days ago of the country’s spy chief, who was one of Syria’s biggest enemies in Beirut, brought back frightening memories of Lebanon’s own 15-year-long civil war.

Beyond Lebanon, Hizbollah’s prestige, once sky-high, now looks tarnished. Instead of being praised among Arabs for standing up to Israel, it is seen by many as the lackey of a bloodstained dictator.

When Hamas abandoned its support for Syria, under pressure from Palestinians appalled by the regime’s slaughter, Ismail Haniya, its leader in Gaza, dramatically announced it during Friday prayers in Cairo. “I salute the Syrian people who seek freedom, democracy and reform,” he said. There were calls of “No Hizbollah and no Iran” from the crowd.

For sticking with the Damascus regime, Hizbollah has been criticised by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the Gulf States.

Its support for the Assad regime was “an obvious strategic mistake”, said Abdel-Halim Qandil, the co-founder of the new left-of-centre Egyptian political party Kefaya (Enough). “It would have been better to be neutral or to keep silent,” he said.

There is growing unease even among Hizbollah’s grass-roots supporters in its political heartlands of South Beirut, and speculation that it will lose out politically as well.

“My mother has always voted for Hizbollah, but she has seen the television pictures of dead children in Syria and she is horrified,” said one Hizbollah supporter. “Of course she is behind the resistance. But for the first time in her life I think she may not vote for them in the next election.”

LET GOD’S SONG OF MOSES STIR UP THE CHURCH BY HIS ROCK IN IT – PART 3

October 28, 2012

PART 1 – DEUTERONOMY 31:16 TO 32:5 WAS PUT UP ON OUR BLOG ISSUED ON OCTOBER 22, 2012. PART 2 WAS PUT UP ON OCTOBER 27, 2012.

IT WAS WRITTEN FOR OUR ADMONITION UPON WHOM THE ENDS OF THE OF THE WORLD ARE COME.

God stirred up Israel in Egypt and led her out of her nest through the Red Sea. At first they had no strange god, but that changed at Mt. Sinai and plagued them off and on until they rejected the Rock at Golgotha.

I Corinthians 10:4,11 – And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. [11] Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

Deuteronomy 32:11,12 – As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: [12] So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.

Deuteronomy 5:7 –Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

Christians have been plagued with the same spiritual weakness since Jesus introduced it to them., and many are falling away from it. They are making a TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

PART 3 – CONTINUES PARTS 1 & 2 – DEUTERONOMY 31;16 TO 32:11

GOD BEARS HIS SPIRITUAL OFFSPRING ON HIS EAGLE WINGS

FIRST HE CARRIED HIS LOCAL VISIBLE JACOB (ISRAEL) ASSEMBLY

NOW HE CARRIES HIS OWN LOCAL VISIBLE ASSEMBLIES (CHURCHES)

Moses prophesied to Israel in his song what God would do for her, what she would do toward him, and what he would do to her for her eventual rejection of him after he had blessed her with peace and prosperity.

THIS WAS MOSES PROPHECY MORE THAN 600 YEARS BEFORE JEREMIAH

Deuteronomy 32:11-14 – As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: [12] So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. [13] He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; [14] Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

THE PROPHETIC PROMISE IN MOSES’ SONG WAS FULFILLED BUT…….

Jeremiah 2:4-8 – Hear ye the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel: [5] Thus saith the Lord, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? [6] Neither said they, Where is the Lord that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt? [7] And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination. [8] The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

MOSES PROPHESIED ISRAEL WOULD FORSAKE HIS ROCK

Deuteronomy 32:15 – But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

AND IT WAS FULFILLED IN THE DAYS OF JEREMIAH

Jeremiah 2:9-13 – Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the Lord, and with your children’s children will I plead. [10] For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing. [11] Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. [12] Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord. [13] For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

Psalm 61:1-4 – Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. [2] From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. [3] For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. [4] I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

PART 2 – CONTINUES PART 1

GOD BEARS HIS SPIRITUAL OFFSPRING ON HIS EAGLE WINGS

Deuteronomy 32:6-11 – Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee? [7] Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. [8] When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. [9] For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. [10] He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. [11] As AN EAGLE a stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

Exodus 19:4-6 – Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE YOU ON EAGLES’ WINGS, and brought you unto myself. [5] Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: [6] And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

Revelation 12:12-17 –Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. [13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. [14] And to the woman were given two wings of A GREAT EAGLE, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. [15]And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. [16] And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. [17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus.

Hebrews 10:21-25 – And having an high priest over the house of God; [22] Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. [23] Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) [24] And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: [25] Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, AS YE SEE THE DAY APPROACHING.

Acts 2:19-21 – And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: [21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Romans 10:17,13 – So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. [13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
