The Calm is Coming to an End

I have re-published on old post, dated 2017-04-17 and entitled, "There is a Calm Before the Storm."  You can see it at the bottom of this blog.  I kept all my old posts on the blog server and simply placed them into draft status, just in case I would find a reason to bring them out in the future.  You never know when you will want to do that.

The post speaks of that dream in which the Lord visited me in 2011 but I did not indicate that fact in 2017 because, at that time, I decided not to publish any such personal things.  However, regarding this one, I have changed my mind, thus speaking about it more directly in recent posts.  Interestingly, another point I had not mentioned was the secular date of that dream, the early morning of the 22nd of April, 2011 (those numbers again?  Go figure!)

Not all details are shown in that old 2017 blog post but significant details, perhaps the primary details, are referred to.  I thought that, maybe, anybody reading my posts may wish to know a little more.  As long as it helps to strengthen and encourage the true believers, the children of God, then I will bring out some hidden treasures, both new and old, once in a while. 

Keep sage, sane, sound and saved and make your heartfelt prayers known to the Ever Living God.  Remember, He is in control no matter how crazy things appear to be.  All is being done to bring the crop of humanity to complete maturity before the harvesters come and remove the wicked from among the righteous on that great and terrible day.

Did the Spirit of God Speak?

Sometimes I write things in this blog or in my personal notes that, unknown to me at the time of writing, are prophetic.  The Spirit of God sometimes moves a person to speak or write and he does not always know the source of that information.  Maybe the prophets of old experienced that quite often.  Perhaps this was another such event.

According to certain medical sources (noted in a video I have linked below), the first known case of COVID-19 infection was believed to have occurred on the 1st of December, 2019.  That is the same date that I posted the addendum at the end of the blog post, entitled, "Monstrous Evil", the post itself dated the 21st of November, 2019.  At the bottom of the post you can see the following... 

Addendum 2019-12-01.

The world needs a war.  Yes, you read that correctly and, as much as I loathe war, the world is now at a point where the only thing that can help western civilisation to survive is war.... [etc].

Then, as mentioned in an earlier post, entitled, "The Great Storm Now Barely Begins" (dated the 10th of April, 2020), the Ever Living God spoke to me, around early to mid March, saying, "Now it begins."  As noted in that post, I did not at first understand the meaning of what He said but now I believe I have some idea.  I did not write down a record of what He said at the time He said it (which is something I do only sometimes, especially if He tells me to), but I clearly recall the event because it struck me with great anxiety at first.

Although fighting a viral outbreak is often compared to war, I have little doubt, at this point, that the "fallout" of this pandemic, this viral war, will be a war fought with more "conventional" though extremely deadly and destructive weapons, perhaps the final great war.  That is why I used the word, "Barely", in the title of that post on the 10th of April.  I believe this is the event which just gets the ball rolling for the last time.

Furthermore, I believe that 2022 will be the year to begin the time of reckoning, the beginning of the time of Jacob's trouble, the beginning of the great catastrophes, no longer the pangs but the real pain and, perhaps, the first appearances of the two witnesses in the public sphere (maybe at that time or soon thereafter), although their official final ministry may begin at a later date.

If Pastor of the "Hope of the World" ministry, Jonathan Cahn, in Lodi, New Jersey, USA, was correct about the last Jewish calendar sabbatical (i.e. "shmitah") year beginning during September of 2014 then the next such year, which is the 7th year when the land is meant to rest, begins on the 7th of September, 2021, but ends (ending the 7 year cycle) on the 26th of September, 2022, which is the end of the Jewish calendar date of Elul 29, 5782 (at sunset) and the beginning of the following Jewish calendar date of Tishrei 1, 5783, beginning the new Jewish year at sunset.  That date is, by our secular calendar, 22-09-26 (year-month-date).  Note those numbers; 22, is associated with the two witnesses (among other things) and 26 is the gematria of YHVH, the tetragrammaton.  The appearance of 11 has also been prominent and it is associated with chaos and the two witnesses but if it refers to a month then perhaps November of 2022 is a time to keep in mind.  Although these are secular dates I believe that God works all things for the benefit of those willing to see His hand in action, those who love Him.  He made it clear that the current pope Francis is an evil man through a prophecy given to St Francis centuries ago, by the fact that the current pope took the name of the very man who prophesied the coming of a false pastor of the Catholic Church.  For those willing to see and accept it, God makes things pretty obvious sometimes.  For the past (more than a) year the Lord has been bombarding me with those numbers mentioned above, but I simply never understood why.  I made lots of conjectures about it in my own notes but lacked solid evidence for many of those ideas.  Perhaps I now have the answer.  At this point, I believe that the date, the 26th of September, 2022, marks the beginning of the final seven years until the day of the Lord.  I may be wrong on that but, for now, I will go with it.

It is true that we cannot know the precise day or hour of His appearing but we can know the season.  It is also clear to me that, as the time draws near, our ability to narrow the range of possibilities will improve until that day finally comes.  It would seem apropos, to me anyway, that He should return almost (if not) precisely 2000 years, which is 40 Jubilees, after His death on the cross and subsequent resurrection.  There is much disagreement about exactly when that occurred, some saying year 30, some year 29, a few claiming other dates, and perhaps that is the source of our inability to know the precise time of His return.  Maybe God set it up that way from the beginning.  Another possibility is that the final seven years has already begun and in 2022 we will be half way through it.  That seems less likely to me but it may be something to be mindful of. 

Here is a link to a 55 minute video outlining significant issues and inconsistencies and, frankly, outright lies that have been peddled by the mainstream media and politicians and other completely untrustworthy groups (as usual, connected with the UN) regarding the pandemic we know as COVID-19.  It is well worth viewing.

"The first documentary movie on CCP virus, Tracking Down the Origin of the Wuhan Coronavirus"   (NTD)

Also, here is an 11 minute video regarding this same issue on a channel I like a lot, run by a woman who keeps her identity secret (for good reasons) but is one of the best investigative citizen journalists I have ever encountered.

"Made in China"  (The Truth Factory)

Anyway, hope you got something out of my post and hope you find valuable information in the videos linked above.

Note that although I indicated that fighting a viral pandemic is akin to a type of war, the Chinese Communist Party has itself clearly stated that they consider themselves to actually be at war, in particular with the USA but also, essentially, with all western nations.

The war has, indeed, begun.

Observe the Numbers - Part 3 - Following up the follow-up

Now looking at the figures, it looks like the global pandemic death rate (daily deaths) is surging again.  I guess my initial guess was not on the money, after all, and I spoke too soon.  I wonder if it is related to a broader pattern?  Will have to wait and see.

I'll do some more digging and see if there is some way of getting a handle on this.

__________________________

Addendum 2020-04-18:

Actually, I suspect that the sudden jump in numbers of deaths is mostly (if not entirely) a result of recent revelations out of China where admission to a much higher mortality rate has been made (and is anybody surprised by that?... of course not!)  Most of those deaths would have been prior to the past week, perhaps even before March, and I suspect the numbers are yet a lot higher than has been admitted to so far, so this would severely skew the information, since all such reporting of past deaths, being that nothing is known about precisely when they occurred, are likely to be piled onto the data all at the same time, when they were finally reported and not when they occurred.

The result is that we may never know the true daily rate of deaths from this plague.  Lying governments and the criminal globalist enterprise we call "the U.N. and the W.H.O.", obstruct, skew, obfuscate and falsify data in every area into which they gain a foothold.  It is merely the way of the spirit we call, satan, the great liar and the father of lies.  After all, as pointed out in a much older blog post, the UN is the image of the beast referred to in the Book of the Revelation to John and, therefore, a type of "government" operating under the control of satan.  Remember that it is the dragon (a reference to the eternally lost, fallen one) who gives his power to the beasts and the image of the beast, that is, to their statesmen and representatives.  And what is his power?  It is the power to deceive.

I suspect that we will never see a full rollback of the rapidly growing totalitarian police state conditions now prevalent in western nations, even if the plague is completely eliminated.  That is the nature of the oppressive, controlling, evil spirit, that which we call, satan.

 

Observe the Numbers - Part 2 - Follow-up

It would seem that my post, "Observe the Numbers" (2020-03-29) was pretty much "on the money".  Note the global COVID-19 fatality rate graph (daily deaths) on this page...

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/worldwide-graphs/

(Scroll down for the graph, "Daily Deaths", which is the death rate, a little over half way down the page.)

You will see it peak at around April 7th and roughly level off until around the 9th, then go into a rapid decline.  Although the bars on the graph are a bit "bumpy", a smooth fitted curve would indeed show the peak around the 7th to the 8th.

Although I did say I would comment on this, right now I have little time to do so and will have to defer my post on this issue for another day.

Bread and Circuses

The expression, "bread and circuses", is, according to various sources, attributed to the Roman poet, Juvenal.  It speaks of the appeasement of the populace in an attempt to satisfy their base lusts for entertainment and filling the belly in order to distract them from the real problems resulting from a collapsing empire.

It has long been apparent to me that we live in the age of "bread and circuses".  For almost my entire 54 years of life to date, westerners have been obsessed with entertainment, mostly sports (circuses, games) and later, food (bread) with a plethora of televised cooking shows over the past three decades.  This is a clear signal of a collapsing empire, just as happened with Rome, and given that we really do still live in Rome, being a latter days version of it (consider how all of our governments and public institutions are closely related to the structures of ancient Rome), then it is not a stretch to recognise that the modern obsession with bread and circuses is an indicator of how close we are to the end.

However, what has really struck me is a popular television series, called, "Master Chef", which has risen to enormous popularity since its beginning a number of years ago.  This program, in its modern incarnation, began in Australia as a remake of a similar program that originated in Britain decades earlier.  The modern incarnation, however, has reached epidemic popularity around the world with now more than sixty countries airing their own versions of the program.

What really stands out, to me, anyway, is that this is a show which combines both bread and circuses and, given its huge global popularity, I cannot help but laugh out loud at how incredibly clear such a sign of the impending end can be and yet pass so many by unnoticed in the context of history, its apparent importance being about the show itself and its contestants rather than what it really indicates.  Such great importance has been placed on this program for all the wrong reasons.

Anyway, I thought that I would mention that in passing.

The Great Storm Just Barely Begins

I have been thinking about the Lord's visitation to me in 2011, when He came to me in a dream on the day of the anniversary of His resurrection (by the Jewish religious calendar, not the secular calendar).  We stood on a beach, something like a small, hidden cove, and the ocean was to the west, the land to the east and, looking north, there appeared a great long, dark cloud low on the distant north horizon, from as far as the eye could see from east to west.  The Lord, with His right hand, grasped my left shoulder and, with His outstretched left arm, He pointed north, saying, "Look, a huge storm is coming."  Recently, about a month ago, in the Spirit He said to me, "Now it begins."  At that moment I did not know or understand what He meant but, now, I think He was referring back to that "storm" He pointed out all those years ago.

This morning, when I finished my morning prayer, the Lord said to me, absolutely clearly, "Read Isaiah 51."  So I did...

Isa 51:1-23 ASV  Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.  (2)  Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.  (3)  For Jehovah hath comforted Zion; he hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.  (4)  Attend unto me, O my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.  (5)  My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for me, and on mine arm shall they trust.  (6)  Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.  (7)  Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings.  (8)  For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation unto all generations.  (9)  Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou that didst cut Rahab in pieces, that didst pierce the monster?  (10)  Is it not thou that driedst up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that madest the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?  (11)  And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.  (12)  I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass;  (13)  and hast forgotten Jehovah thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he maketh ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?  (14)  The captive exile shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.  (15)  For I am Jehovah thy God, who stirreth up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name.  (16)  And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.  (17)  Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath; thou hast drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.  (18)  There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand among all the sons that she hath brought up.  (19)  These two things are befallen thee, who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort thee?  (20)  Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Jehovah, the rebuke of thy God.  (21)  Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:  (22)  Thus saith thy Lord Jehovah, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; thou shalt no more drink it again:  (23)  and I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee, that have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over; and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go over.

I would recommend you look up words in Strong's concordance, words, among others, such as Rahab (H7293) - "From H7292, bluster (blusterer): - proud, strength.", wherever you do not have an absolutely clear understanding of the meaning of a word or verse in the context of the chapter and recognise its context today, remembering that Christians are Israel, also.

If you do not have a bible with Strong's numbers, you can download e-Sword, which is free bible software and, among many other features, includes copies of the bible in many versions among which is the King James version with Strong's numbers and a Strong's Concordance is also available.
