Daniel 12:1-4 – 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. [2] And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. [3] And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. [4] But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to THE TIME OF THE END: MANY SHALL RUN TO AND FRO, AND KNOWLEDGE SHALL BE INCREASED.
SCIENCE IS NOT SUFFICIENTLY ADVANCED TO PREDICT THE TIME OF THE REVELATION 6:12 AND16:16-19 GREAT EARTHQUAKES, BUT GOD SAYS THEY WILL OCCUR. IN MY OPINION, REPEAT OPINION, THE 6:12 QUAKE IS LIKELY TO OCCUR AT SOME POINT IN TIME BETWEEN 2013 AND 2015 IN THE JORDAN RIVER VALLEY, AND THE 16:16-19 QUAKE 3 & ½ YEARS LATER.
THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE LAST 3 & ½ YEARS OF TRIBULATION
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 ARMAGEDDON END OF THE 3 & ½ YEARS OF TRIBULATION
Revelation 16:16-19 – 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.
THE REVELATION 16:19 “GREAT CITY” IS JERUSALEM, NOT ROME!
Revelation 11:8 – And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of THE GREAT CITY, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, WHERE ALSO OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED.
Matthew 23:37-39 – O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! [38] Behold, YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATE. [39] For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
John wrote the book of Revelation in about 95 AD. Jesus said the Jerusalem city temple would be spiritually desolate before he was crucified, and it was leveled by Titus in 70 AD. After 70 AD Jerusalem was referred to as being spiritually desolate as Sodom and Egypt.
Revelation 16:18,19 – 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.
“Great Babylon” represents the world’s multiple false religions that had their ancient birthplace in the Euphrates and Tigris River Valley of the Garden of Eden, which is the Seat of the Devil’s invisible Kingdom of spiritual darkness. It is the seat of the coming Beast of Revelation.
God will pour out his vials of wrath on this area as he destroys the false religion
of Islam.
Revelation 16:10-16 – And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, [11] And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. [12] And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. [13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. [15] Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. [16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Disaster studies expert: We are not prepared for quake
By GIL SHEFLER
03/13/2011 17:05
If a 7 or 8 magnitude quake were to hit Israel, it could cause more damage, loss of life than any war Israel has fought, expert says.
As bad as events may seem in Japan in the aftermath of a deadly earthquake and tsunami that has killed untold thousands and caused critical failures at nuclear power plants, Prof. Avi Kirschenbaum, a disaster studies expert at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, thinks it could have been much worse.
If stringent building codes had not been enforced by authorities on the quakeprone island, then the death toll could have been even higher.
“Earthquakes don’t kill people; buildings do when they fall,” he said. “The tsunami is probably a lot more dangerous than the earthquakes, especially in Japan, where building codes have been in place. You saw that big buildings did not fall during the earthquake, but you can’t build a wall along the entire sea.”
Kirschenbaum currently heads BEMOSA, a European Union-funded research project aimed at improving security in airports, lectures about disaster preparedness at the University in Haifa and has written several books on the subject. He said Japanese authorities’ preparedness mitigated the effects of the disaster, but had less flattering words, however, for their Israeli counterparts.
Asked if Israel were ready to deal with a m
ajor earthquake, Kirschenbaum gave an unequivocal answer.
“I can tell you very clearly, we’re not,” he said. “The first things which needs to be improved are the building codes – and the government understands that,” he said.
“But the incentives to upgrade buildings by offering residents to build another floor and, in the process, strengthen their foundations are not working.”
Kirschenbaum said that in the event of a seven or eight magnitude earthquake, buildings built prior to the 1990s would be at great risk.
“During the 1980s, there was a weak California building code but that disappeared during the 1990s,” he said.
The last relatively big earthquake in Israel took place in 2008 when a 5.3 magnitude shake rocked the region.
No fatalities or major damages were reported at the time.
However, in the 19th century, a major quake struck the region, reducing the northern cities of Tiberias and Safed to rubble.
If a seven or eight quake were to impact Israel, Kirschenabum reckons, it could cause more damage and result in more loss of life than any war Israel has ever fought.
“The chemical plants in the Haifa area, which are on a rift coming down from Lebanon, will probably blow up,” Kirschenbaum said. “It would be as if Hezbollah rained down on them all these rockets and it would simply blow up.” The 68-year-old academic, who was born in the US and immigrated to Israel 40 years ago, said the Israeli government was also neglecting the psychological aspect of dealing with disasters.
“One of the things they are not preparing is the people,” he said. “In Japan, they do it on the community level. The basis for our survival in Israel is our families and communities and then the municipality.
All disasters in Israel are local and in Israel, we have a robust system of communication which we have to rely on, and with the Japanese, it’s the same way.”
BIRTH PANG NUMBER 29

Isaiah 43:19-21 – Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. [20] The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. [21] This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

Chapter 31 – God Heals the Eastern Sea
December 28, 2001
Ezekiel 47:6-8 – And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river. [7] Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
[8] Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
Zechariah 14:3,4 – Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
[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.
As we begin with verse 6, we have just walked eastward a little over a mile (4000 cubits) from the “utter gate” of the Jerusalem Millennial Temple, and have arrived at the brink of the diverted Jordan River shown in Figure 47. Please look at Figure 47 and read Birth Pang Numbers 25 through 28. During our walk, we passed directly through the graben valley created during the Tribulation Period when the Mount of Olives divided into two sections, one moving to the north, and one moving to the south. The stream along which we walked developed after the splitting of the Mount of Olives, and is the stream of Zechariah 14:8 – “And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.” It is also the same spring described in Joel 3:18B – “And all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.”
The area through which the entire stream and Jordan River complex is prophesied to flow has a very fertile soil profile.
But no matter how fertile and perfectly zoned a soil horizon exists, unless there is water, no vegetation will spring up. This has been the problem in this dry arid region for centuries, but God is going to change all that. Trees and all types of vegetation will flourish along the length of these two living water rivers (Figure 47) as they flow toward the Mediterranean and Dead Seas. The remnant of the nation of Israel will use this new source of water to irrigate the deserts of Judah and most of southern Israel, including the Negev. Israel will become the breadbasket of the world.
As verse eight of Ezekiel 47 begins, we find ourselves standing at the brink of the diverted Jordan River, about four thousand cubits east of the “utter gate” of the Millennial Temple. We are told that from this point the waters go out into what he calls “the east country.” The “east country” is the section of land that includes the Dead Sea, which has been referred to in the past as “the Eastern Sea.” We have the water moving, as shown in Figure 47, into the country east of the Mount of Olives like a pattern known as a bird’s foot delta. We are then advised that from “the east country” the waters “go down into the desert.” We are informed in the Hebrew which desert, for the word used for “desert” is “Arabah,” which is the desert that lies between the Dead Sea and the Red Sea. Strong’s Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary identifies the Arabah as “the sterile valley of the Jordan and its continuation to the Red Sea.” Wilson’s Old Testament Word Studies “the desert” as “the land between the Dead Sea and the Elanitic Gulf (Gulf of Aqabah). First the waters flow southward through the Arabah Desert to eventually empty into “the sea,” and that sea is the northern extension of the Red Sea, which is also known by the Arabs as the Gulf of Aqabah. As indic ated, in previous Birth P
ang Updates, a channel will be opened in the land that lies between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqabah.
This land was once known as the land of Idumea. Gradually the flow of fresh water from the Temple and the diverted fresh water from the Euphrates will “heal” the “east country” of its high salt content. The “healing” will be accomplished by most of its salt being carried southward into the Red Sea. Figure 47 shows the completed hydrological structure prophesied by Ezekiel, Zechariah, and Joel. I believe that the shape of the Dead Sea will be quite different from what I have shown in Figure 47, but so that the reader may relate to a known geographical feature, I have left its present shape unchanged.
Actually, it will become more like a fresh water delta marsh from Engedi to Eneglaim, and that section from “the brink of the river” to the fresh water marsh will be similar to the Mississippi Delta, but on a much smaller scale.
Figure 48 gives a general pictorial summation of many of the geological changes prophesied to occur in previous Updates. All of these terrifying changes have a twofold purpose: to show man the power of God and to prepare the land for the reign of Jesus Christ when he returns.
