Jimmy Carter at 99

Former US president, Jimmy Carter, has hit 99 years of age.  That's one tough cookie!

 

Jimmy Carter marks one year in hospice care

It is fairly unusual for men to reach that age, more common for women although still infrequent.  In an old blog post years ago I wrote of a dream that a man had in the 1970's regarding presidents of the USA with respect to the end of the age.  The information is still available on-line at this page...

 

Vision of the Presidents

At the time, I mentioned that (if the dream was genuine prophecy) Carter would have to pass on by the time the great tribulation begins, finding my sense of what the dream means agreeing reasonably well with what was written about it (I generally try to discern things before entertaining others' explanations, even that given by the one who had the vision or dream, since it is often, though not always, the case that the dreamer himself does not understand the parable of the dream).  All the other presidents in the same row of houses (see the page on the dream) had already passed on.  The passage of the houses turns a corner, taking a different direction, suggesting to me at the time that with the passing of all in the first row, including Carter, there would be a great change of direction in the USA or even the world as a whole.  Although that was not a strictly incorrect view, it was not accurate in that it is probably not what the dream was primarily about.

 

In retrospect, it seems more likely that the final house depicted, which would be associated with Obama, indicates the beginning of the end of the USA.  I say that because during the time of Obama's second term, the Lord showed me on three occasions that the USA was coming to an end.  Perhaps it is coming true.  With the deep political, religious and cultural divisions in the USA which we are witnessing, it is difficult to believe that the coming presidential election will not be surrounded by extreme controversy at the very least, perhaps even things much more drastic.

In any case, I still have this deep gut feeling, which generally agrees with what is said about the dream, that the eventual passing of Carter will be a marker of some kind, an event that marks the end of one era and the beginning of another, an era not about a man but about a nation or even the world.

With all that is going on in the world, with the seemingly accelerating advance of time and events, I know it is difficult to keep anxiety at bay, finding myself affected by it from time to time.  Nevertheless, we absolutely need to keep trusting in God, for He cannot fail, because failure is not a characteristic of His Spirit and is, therefore, impossible.  Looking to man guarantees a flood of fear, but continually looking to the Lord will help to ease that angst.

This is one Jonathan Cahn video I highly recommend watching...

God is ever present, ever involved, never think otherwise.  Just because He is often silent on issues does not mean He is not involved but, rather, that He is patient with us.  However, it is clear to me, especially given that He directed me, this morning, to read Isaiah 13, and afterward I watched the above-linked video, well, that simply tells me that He is readying Himself for the great and terrible day, and readying us with Him.

 

Stay strong in the Lord, trust not in man, not in Egypt or in Babylon, but only in the true Holy One, the Everliving God, calling on the name of Yeshua for forgiveness of sins and for direction of your steps.

About the Pope

There's a video which may (or may not) interest you, regarding how the pope is working at drawing back into his control all the protestant world, obviously seeking total power, in my view.  Of course, this has been going on for some time but it is becoming very clear to all who look and see and who listen and hear.  This video is of some considerable length but I recommend you take the time, if you can spare it, to watch, listen and consider what was said.  Although it is presented by Doug Batchelor, and I have, at times, found some things he says regarding scripture to be incorrect, in this case, he has something worth listening to.

 

Pope's Video Fulfills Prophecy

Perhaps you recall my post regarding the inevitable reunion of the manmade churches because, of course, you cannot remove the root of something without destroying it, or, at least, not unless you are the Almighty Himself.  Since all the protestant denominations have their root in the Catholic Church then it is inevitable that, as the time of the return of the Lord is close at hand and all things are returning to what they were at the time of His departure, the protestant denominations will once again be under the power of the Roman pontiff, Pontifex Maximus, in essence the continuation of Caesar beyond the secular world and physical empire into a spiritual empire,.  This is being achieved by the effective renunciation of scripturally based doctrine by protestants who have, over recent decades, lost a love of the truth, now all too often despising it.  One only need observe the onslaught of "woke" ideology in virtually all, if not all, the protestant groups.  When fallen man becomes fat, he becomes complacent and soon forgets his Maker.  Wealth in the hands of corrupt humanity, and the love and pursuit of it, has led to this demise, proving yet again the words of the Lord absolutely prophetic and true; you cannot love both God and money.

 

Note, however, that there are many who will depart, and are even now departing, from the mainstream churches, and such are seen by those remaining as being apostates, but in many cases nothing could be further from the truth.  The churches are themselves the apostates with respect to Christianity but are being true to their pagan roots in ancient Rome.  As mentioned in a previous post, the true church was dispersed into the wilderness (the world) because it became corrupted with pagan ideas, thus drawing in idolators and repelling faithful worshippers of the true Everliving God.  Many true Christians have been largely "unchurched" over the centuries and this has gone on for 40 Jubilees since the Lord completed His work of opening the gates of hell to set us free, so that 40 lots of 50 years are completed upon His soon return to establish His kingdom on the Earth (the ancient parable being the 40 years of desert wandering for the ancient Israelites, starting from the time that God, working through Moses, set them free, then they corrupted themselves and ended up wandering in the desert for 40 years until the time when they entered the promised land).

So, don't fear what you see on that video, or what you see happening in the world, try not to let it worry you or cause you any anxiety.  It simply tells us that the time of the Lord's return is gobsmackingly near!  Stay true to the scripturally revealed doctrines, get your learning from the Lord (He said He would teach us Himself and I took Him up on that offer some 16 years ago and never looked back).  Never put your trust in man.  If he happens to be factually correct, it is often just dumb luck.  Heck, don't take my word for it... instead, test what you see, hear, read, and trust only God for the truth and for safety on His immovable rock.
