This has been up a long time and we have all seen it over the years but I think it deserves more attention now than ever before...
Vision of the Presidents -- C. Alan Martin

As with all such things, take it with a pinch of caution. Nevertheless, it may be worth careful consideration so perhaps we should watch for the departure of Jimmy Carter. He may be the last of the living presidents that must depart before the coming great war according to what this dream seems to indicate. How soon the war follows is unknown. Perhaps his death marks the beginning of the great tribulation since current events are just a "warm-up". Do not take what I am saying here as gospel truth but just bear it in mind as possible indication of where we are in prophecy. Note that Carter served in presidency number 39, the same number as the last book of the Old Testament, the book of Malachi. Of all the Old Testament books it is widely agreed that Malachi was the last to be written so its place as number 39 is not really in question regardless of the order of the rest of the Old Testament books. The number, 39, some associate with the "curse of the law of sin and death", but I find this association is weak and narrow. Since the number, 40, represents a period of preparation (growth, cleansing or sanctification), not testing as some posit (the testing comes afterwards), such as 40 weeks preparing a new human life to enter into the world (birth is the first test), 40 days the three Israeli spies spied out the land of Canaan (the report they gave and how the people responded to the report was the test and many failed that one badly, showing lack of faith in what God had clearly told them), 40 years cleansing (another way of saying, sanctifying) the Israelites in the desert by removing the faithless before entering the promised land (crossing the Jordan was the first test, a phrase that is often used as a metaphor for passing through death, and other tests shortly followed to test the faith of the people), 40 days and nights that Yeshua fasted and prayed before the tempter came to tempt (i.e. test) Him three times (three temptations in order to be complete), so we can say that 39, falling just short of 40, indicates falling short of being ready for the test to come, an incomplete preparation or a lack of sanctification; a relentlessly persistent evil condition, one without remedy. It is easy to see how this number is often associated with disease or cursing. We can also view 39 as thrice 13, and 13 being representative of apostasy, rebellion, corruption, decay and all such notions (evil in general), then 39 is complete apostasy, rebellion, corruption, decay.

It is noteworthy that during the presidency of Carter, the USA had already entered a rapid moral decline the likes of which were unimaginable prior to that time. We have all heard stories about the 1960's. That decade set up the conditions for the USA and the rest of the world, under American economic, political and media influence, to fall into apostasy. I am hard-pressed to see the modern USA as anything other than a resurrected Babylon, but I would not call it so in isolation from other western nations. We have all followed suit. It is probably safe to say that the great falling away has its roots (or conception, if you prefer) in 1960's America and its birth in the 1970's. Popular music is generally a good indicator of the direction society is taking and we see the rise of very dark and sinister music in the 1970's right alongside very plastic and shallow pop. We also see it in the demographics of church attendance. There was a peak in church attendance in the USA at the end of the 1950's and as we entered the 1960's a slow decline began but accelerated dramatically during the 1970's. It slowed and leveled off somewhat during the 1980's to mid 1990's but was then followed by another sharp decline since that time, the most dramatic decline in US history. This corresponds exactly with the dramatic rise in occultism and all of its associated ideas and beliefs, the rise in religious environmentalism, the rise in terrorism (no doubt funded by the international banksters) and the increasingly desperate attempts by the UN to assert itself as Satan's global government seeking carbon taxes as its revenue stream.
The name, Malachi, means "My messenger", and in Malachi, chapter 4, we have mention made of Elijah. As stated in a previous post, I do not know if another Elijah is yet to come given that there was fulfillment with John the Baptist, but John's coming does not preclude it and conditions may merit the reappearance of the spirit of Elijah (to pave the way for the Lord and His kingdom) which, simply put, is a man who is utterly single-minded about God. That is one of his primary characteristics... everything else, without exception, takes a back seat to the truth, a back seat to God. The faith of such a man will see him through to the end, even unto death, as it did for John. He will not doubt that the Lord will do as the Lord says He will. No doubt at all will cross such a man's mind. Obviously this is a primary characteristic of the two witnesses so there is no reason why they could not be both described as having the spirit of Elijah. I am just thinking out loud here but you get the point, I am sure. From Revelation chapters 8 to 11 we know that great cataclysms and war must come before the public ministry of the two witnesses can begin (one of numerous clear and unambiguous reasons why all current self-proclaimed two witnesses are false prophets), since the true two witnesses come as the second woe which is the sixth trumpet, and trumpets one to four speak of those aforementioned cataclysms, and trumpet five is the first woe and appears to be a great war. To jumble up the order of events of the trumpets makes no sense and makes a mockery of the scripture. It is clear that the angels sound their trumpets in numerical order. All the fake prophets will be most deeply ashamed of what they have said and done when the true prophets arise.
I will avoid rambling on any further about these things in this post, since there is much more that could be discussed, but I will leave it as is and simply say...
... Watch Jimmy... since I suspect that he is not too long for this world, but I hope that during his remaining time he turns to the Lord, and the Lord who is merciful will have mercy on him.
Addendum (2017-05-11):
How should we "interpret" the death of Jimmy Carter when it occurs, assuming it is of some significance? Perhaps it marks the end of the incurable evil condition of the world. At some point there will be no more people who can be saved since, like a deadly disease, the corruption spreads throughout all of humanity. At some point, all the worshippers who are being counted (the temple being measured, the required stones ready) will be accounted for and there is no need for more time except for the final work of the two witnesses to conclude the testimony of the saints to the whole world that began almost 2000 years ago. God times His actions precisely to ensure the required outcome at exactly the right moment but we have no idea just when that moment will be. Perhaps the death of Jimmy Carter will be a sign that the moment is almost upon us.
So, how should we interpret the death of the 39th leader of the most powerful nation in the world given that the nation has fallen into the abyss of apostasy, wickedness and chaos?
Jimmy Carter was in office from January the 20th, 1977, to January the 20th, 1981. So, the presidency of the 39th president of the USA began 40 years ago last January. Well, isn't that interesting?! Sounds to me like the next 3.5 to 4 years are ripe for judgement.
If I was a betting man and if I was to stake a wager on this (lots of "ifs" in there), I would bet that former President James Earl Carter Jr. will be deceased some time from late June until the end of July of this year. This is no prophecy of any kind, just a guess based on some very big "ifs". I do not like attempting to set dates but I am just letting you know some of my thoughts on this. Again, I strongly emphasise, it is just a guess and carries no revelational significance. Funnily, June 28th to July 4th sticks in my head because of certain past events I will not go into here.
Anyway, let's just... watch Jimmy.
Addendum (2017-07-05):
Well, I guess that Jimmy is still with us... good thing I didn't place a bet on it after all! In any case, something did happen just in the past 24 hours which took everybody a little by surprise. Kim Jong-un's successful launch of an ICBM suddenly put my country on alert. Of course, he'd be mad to waste a missile on Darwin. It is not as if a country of just 23 million and a virtually non-existent military presence is going to pummel his land any time soon. The only reason would be if there is an American base harbouring nuclear vessels or weapons somewhere in Darwin but, you can be sure, they would not be so stupid as to place such a thing within city limits.
Well. whatever happens, we all know horrifying things are on the way but we also know that our Lord and Saviour is with us. That is where our trust should always be. Keep well, my friends.
