What is Happening Now and What is Likely to Begin Between 2008 and 2012!
(1) HAPPENING NOW!
This is a quote from an article involving an earthquake model for the prediction of earthquakes in the Jordan rift valley, which we carried in its
entirety in our Prophecy Update Archive Numbers 130A and 161A.
“Based on what we know from the historical catalog, the Jordan Valley Fault generates earthquakes of magnitudes as high as 7 approximately every 1,000 years,” said Dr. Fouad Bendimerad, vice president of RMS (Risk Management Solutions) “The last major earthquake on this segment occurred in 1033, increasing the current probability of a major event.”
The most recent damaging event in Israel was a magnitude 7.1 offshore event in 1995 that occurred 70 km south of the city of Elat. While this event provides some relevant data on building damage and ground motion, it was located far to the south of Israel’ s main populated region
s.
To make up for the scarcity of damage experience, RMS worked with Israeli experts to compile detailed information on construction characteristics,
building code implementation, and vulnerability relationships.
The vulnerability relationships were validated using damage data from the 1995 event, supplemented by data from earthquakes in countries with similar construction characteristics.
(2) LIKELY TO BEGIN BETWEEN 2008 AND 2012 AND LAST 1260 DAYS THEREAFTER
Event Number 2 – The Attack and Occurrences Associated With It!
As indicated in Blog 1, Event Number 1, we began this series with I Thessalonians 5:3, which indicated the Israelis would be hit suddenly by a period of unanticipated destructive travail. Revelation 12:6 indicated the travail would cover a period of some 1260 prophetic days.
Zechariah 13:8,9 indicated that 2/3 of the Israelis would perish in the attack, but that the remaining 1/3 would be brought through the time of travail, and would turn to
their God through Messiah while going through the travail in the Negev.
I believe the opening of the Sixth Seal in Revelation will occur in the same general time frame as the antichrist’s lightening blitzkrieg attack against Israel from the north.
Revelation 6:12 – And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
This is the first earthquake in the book of Revelation, and it launches the final 1260 days before the Battle of Armageddon. This is when all the tectonic plates begin to move and, by the time of the last earthquake in Revelation, their movement will have changed the microsecond locations of every mountain and island in degrees of latitude and longitude. The earthquakes, and the effects of massive volcanic eruptions, will produce much of the havoc described from the seventh seal to the last vial of the wrath of God in Revelation 16:18. The islands and mountains begin to move horizontally as the plates slip on the sixth seal and, by the end of the tribulation period, cannot be found at the same microsecond latitudes and longitudes they held at the opening of the sixth seal.
Revelation 6:12-14 – And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; [13] And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. [14] And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

Revelation 16:16-21 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. [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. [19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. [20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. [21] And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

When the antichrist attempts to overtake those Israelis fleeing into the Negev, his army will be rushing southward like a flood to overtake the stragglers before they reach the safety of Beersheva, where Israel’s northern defensive shield will begin. It is at this time that God will open a series of folds and faults, which run northeast to southwest north of the city of Beersheva, and this action will swallow advance elements of the forward penetration of his troops. It is the earthquake of Revelation 6:12 that will subsequently open these cracks in the earth.
Revelation 12:13-17 – 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 Christ.
For the last 1260 days before Armageddon, about 1.8 to 2 million Jews will exist as the remnant of Israel in the Negev, and 144,000 of them will witness that Christ is the Messiah of Israel.
By the time of Armageddon Israel, as a nation, will turn to their God through his Messiah, 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.
Revelation 7:1-4 – And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
[2] And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, [3] Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. [4] And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
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.
Micah 5:4 – And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
