TSUNAMI – A PREVIEW OF COMING ATTRACTIONS – PART 5
“I Will Shake The Heavens, And The Earth, And The Sea, And The Dry Land”

No man can know the time the events of Luke 21:25,26 will actually BEGIN, only God knows, but I am of the opinion it
is very likely to begin at some point in time between 2010 and 2015.
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.
The world is nearing the time of the great shaking described by the prophet Haggai. I believe the events in December of 2004 in Southeast Asia where the preamble of God’s warning to mankind of what is likely to turn into a worldwide night
mare before 2015.
The current siege of major earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons that have raked American Samoa, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam, will end, and things will soon settle down for awhile, but the time is coming when a scenario will begin on a worldwide basis that will not subside, except for brief intermittent relief, and the vicious cycle will continue for some three and one half years.

PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 207

The Coming Shaking Before the King Builds his House!
An Exposition of Haggai 2:6-9
The current situation in the Middle East, the unstable world economy, the increase in earthquake and volcanic related phenomena, the rapidly declining morality on a worldwide basis, the ever increasing attack on the Bible and its validity, the attempt to remove anything which could be associated with God from public places, and a falling away from the truths once delivered to the first New Testament churches, has convinced me Haggai’s prophecy in Haggai 2:6-9 will soon be fulfilled. Soon the BRANCH, the root, the rod out of David, the man who is the Son of God, Jesus Christ will return to build the temple of Ezekiel 40 to 48.
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;
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.
Malachi 4:1,2 – 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.
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.
HAGGAI 2:7 – And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.
[7A] “And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come:”
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.
Daniel 7:13,14 – I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. [14] And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
[7B] “And I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of Hosts.”
Zechariah 6:12,13 – And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord: [13] Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
He will sit on the throne of David as both eternal Ruler and eternal High Priest, thereby combining the two offices that existed in the Old Testament structure of Israel, and he will rule over all the earth.
Zechariah 14:9 – And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
Christ is the sign that will be set among the nations of the earth at his Second Advent, and they will fill the millennial temple with glory by their obedience and the return of all Israelis to their homeland by whatever is left for transportation after the destruction of the great tribulation period.
Isaiah 66:19-21 – And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles. [20] And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem,
saith the Lord, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord. [21] And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the Lord.
HAGGAI 2:8 – The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
The riches of the Gentile nations will pour into Israel for the 1000 years of his reign. Israel’s priesthood will be reestablished. Delegations from all nations will come to Jerusalem to worship at the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:14 – And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
Isaiah 61:6 – But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
Zechariah 14:16 – And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
HAGGAI 2:9 – The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
[9A] “The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts.”
The instructions for the building of this great millennial temple are contained in Ezekiel 40 to 43, and Messiah’s entrance, after its completion, is predicted in Ezekiel 43.
Ezekiel 43:1-7 – Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: [2] And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. [3] And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. [4] And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. [5] So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house. [6] And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me. [7] And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.
[9B] “And in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of Hosts.”
It will amount to a peace of a thousand years to Israel and all the Gentile nations. Israel will be a blessing to all the Gentile nations.
Isaiah 66:12-14 – For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. [13] As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. [14] And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the Lord shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
It would be wise for all believers to worship him today in one of his local churches before his second coming!
I Timothy 3:15 – But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest TO BEHAVE thyself in THE HOUSE OF GOD, WHICH IS THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD, the pillar and ground of the truth.
Ephesians 2:22 – In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Ephesians 3:21 – Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Philippines alert for super-typhoon
October 2, 2009
The Philippine president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, has declared a nationwide “state of calamity” as it braces for the arrival of a powerful super-typhoon, just days after another storm caused the country’s worst flooding in decades.
Thousands of Filipinos on the main island of Luzon have been ordered to evacuate as Typhoon Parma approached the archipelago,
bringing more heavy rain and strong winds.
Forecasters have warned that Parma, a category five storm, will hit the islands on Saturday.
Arroyo’s state of calamity decree will allow local governments access to emergency funds for relief work, her spokesman said, adding that several parts of the country were already under a state of calamity following last week’s storm.
She has also ordered officials to carry out evacuations by force if necessary.
The evacuations come as millions or survivors struggle to cope with the aftermath of tropical storm Ketsana, which flooded large parts of the capital, Manila, and left nearly 300 people dead.
Several areas of the city remain under water almost a week after the storm hit. Ketsana struck the Philippine last Saturday, and strengthened to a typhoon before battering Vietnam, Cambodia
and Laos where it caused more flooding and left dozens dead.

Indonesian quake toll climbs to 1,100
September 30, 2009
Associated Press , THE JERUSALEM POST
Across this coastal provincial capital, hardest hit by the latest earthquake to devastate Indonesia, mourners, survivors and rescue workers alike clawed through the rubble.
Some, like Malina Utami, had already realized the worst. She was just looking for the shoes missing from her dead daughter’s body, found in the rubble of a four-story school that was flattened within seconds.
As the death toll climbed Thursday – to 1,100 by one UN estimate – others looked for survivors, with thousands of people missing and feared trapped in the wreckage of shattered buildings.
When search efforts were suspended for the night, an eerie quiet fell over the city of 900,000.
“Let’s not underestimate. Let’s be prepared for the worst,” President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said in the capital, Jakarta.
Wednesday’s 7.6-magnitude earthquake started at sea and quickly rippled through Sumatra, the westernmost island in the Indonesian archipelago.
[…….]
Indonesia sits on a major geological fault zone and experiences dozens of quakes every year.
A 6.8 magnitude quake shook Sumatra on Thursday but there were no reports of deaths. Both quakes originated on the fault line that spawned the 2004 Asian tsunami that killed 230,000 people in a dozen nations.
Wednesday’s quake was the deadliest since May 2006, when more than 3,000 people died in the city of Yugyakarta.

Somoa: Search continues as more aid arrives
Rod McGuirk, Audrey McAvoy, Associated Press
Friday, October 2, 2009
Samoans searched flattened homes and debris-filled swamps Thursday as more military ships and planes began arriving on the disaster-stricken Pacific islands after an earthquake and tsunami that killed at least 150 people.
The day after the disaster struck, officials were expecting the death toll to rise as more areas were searched – a process that could take several weeks.
A Navy frigate carrying two helicopters and medical supplies arrived late Wednesday in American Samoa, and the Air Force dispatched two cargo planes. Australian officials said they will send an air force plane carrying 20 tons of humanitarian aid.
“This is a devastating earthquake and a devastating tsunami,” Federal Emergency Management Agency coordinating officer Kenneth Tingman told reporters in American Samoa. A magnitude-8.0 quake struck off Samoa at 6:48 a.m. local time (10:48 a.m. PDT) Tuesday. The islands soon were engulfed by four tsunami waves 15 to 20 feet high that reached up to a mile inland.
Samoan Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele’s own village of Lesa was washed away – like many others on Samoa and nearby American Samoa and Tonga.
On Wednesday, he inspected the sou
theast coast of the main Samoan island
of Upolu, the most heavily hit area. He described seeing “complete” devastation. Dazed survivors told of being trapped underwater or flung inland by the tsunami.
Tuilaepa said the death toll in Samoa was 110, mostly elderly and young children.
At least 31 people were killed on American Samoa, Gov. Togiola Tulafono said. Officials in the island nation of Tonga said nine people had been killed.
Samoan police Cmdr. Lilo Maiava predicted the toll would rise.
“It may take a week, two weeks or even three weeks” to complete the search for the many people still missing, he said.
