California Deveastation Prediction Update (11/01/99)

Source: Various Sources

There have been several prophecies (these are on the web site) warning of the possible devastation on the U.S. West coast before November 1, 1999 unless there is "sufficient repentance."

I have been posting regularly about the move to repentance in my own home church. Now, here is an update from the N.W. U.S.A. and the repentance and revival there. It appears that God is allowing additional time for repentance - PTL (justlike he did with Ninevah)

From another Prophetic ministry I recieved the following: (Excerpt): We believe the Lord has shown us that this judgment of war will not come to America in 1999. We have received additional dreams, input from other prophetic ministries and a confirming witness in our own hearts that God is giving more time for repentance and preparation.

However, consider these remarks by another individual:

Hi Vince,

We've been praying for the Lord to withhold judgement from the West Coast. But many feel that we are past the Lord's forbearance. The latest information on fetal tissue pricing and partial birth abortion is so appalling that this nation can no longer expect God's mercy.

Where are the bold pastors, Vince? I am a new Christian looking for a single voice to ring out across this land with God's holy indignation.

All I can do is keep admonishing the brethren to speak to unsaved friends, for surely the time of His reappearing MUST be soon.

========

Where are the bold pastors? What about abortion, fetel tissue research, the spilling of innocent blood and our inexorable move against Israel (Gen 12:3 curse). We are still on borrowed (or rather grace) time. Make the most of it and continue to work for the kingdom while it is still day, for the night is fast coming when no man may work.

Relative to the West Coast Devestation and the move to repentance, here is what is continuing in the N.W.:

From: Jim Bramlett Dear friends:

Humanly speaking, there was no connection between the recent "conditional" earthquake warning (by November 1) on the West Coast and the revival going on there, but there is no doubt a spiritual connection. The earthquake was either delayed or averted.

As the day approched, missionary Timothy Snodgrass in the Philippines, who had issued the warning after an angel encounter on September 20, said that the Washington/Oregon area was in the most danger. With very odd timing, the front page of the October 29-31 issue of USA Today warned of newly discovered "intraslab" major earthquake possibilities in the Northwest!

In view of all the above, it is probably no coincidence that the Northwest is where revival has recently broken out so powerfully. For example, below is a message I received today. Let us rejoice and also join brother Gaffney in continued prayer:

Jim

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Jim

Let me tell you about the miracle of last Tuesday. the 26th of October. I asked you to pray for an open window in Washington. I want to thank you for what you have done. There were no advertisments in the newspaper, radio or television. There was only the miracle of answered prayer. If you will remember, it started with the children. Some as young as 6 years old saw a vision of hell, and started crying out to Jesus to save the lost.

Night after night hundreds came to watch the children be touched by God. Then it hit the adults. Now, hundreds are coming every night to see what the Lord is doing in Washington. Over 1,000 came last Tuesday, and the backup on the highway was about a mile long. This is a miracle for Washington! What did they come for? How did they know to come? Why did they come? I am sure the people who write books will figure it out.

This is what I know so far. The first miracle was the unity among the churches. We had Mennonite, Dutch Reformed, Baptist, Brethren, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Assembly of God, Foursquare, Vineyard, Messianic Christian, Catholic, Episcopalian, Church of God, Charismatic and non- Charismatic, Pentecostal and liberal, all in one accord.

I felt like Moses when the 12 tribes came together. The tribe of Judah wanted to praise. Judah means "praise". The tribe of Levi wanted to work. Levi means "is joined" with work. The tribes of Gad and Zebulun wanted to go to war. They were men of war, fit for battle. The tribe of Benjamin wanted to seek the right hand of God Benjamin means "he who sits at the right hand of the Lord". The tribe of Issachar wanted to have a committee and study the times.

It was a blessing to see a Baptist church praise in English, right next to a Pentecostal church praising in tongues. No one was condemning one another. We all knew we were tearing down strongholds. As the tribes came together, no one was saying one way or another was better. We were in one accord in our desire for revival in the land. They all promised to come back next Tuesday, the 2nd of Nov. They promised to bring even more than before. They promised to break open the windows in heaven . On Friday evening, over 55 churches were represented in the services.

Now, for you on this list. I love each and every one of you. As far as I can tell, we had almost 1 million people from around the world praying for last Tuesday's meeting. There are 7 million lost souls here in the Pacific Northwest. We are so close to major break- out revival, you can feel it everywhere. I can't do it without you. I am asking the Lord for 7 million souls to pray. We want one Christian around the world to pray for every lost and dying soul here in the Pacific Northwest.

The reason it has taken me so long to get back to you is because we have heard from churches, prayer groups and persons in most every state in the United States. Over 100 countries have checked in, saying they will pick up the banner and pray for this miracle.

This is not the time to stop, but the time to charge! This is not the time to back off, but the time to press in. Will you partner with the Lord on this attack on the enemy's last stronghold in the United States?

Christian body, hear the war cry! You can have a part of divine destiny and victory for Jesus. All you have to do is pray. I don't care if you pray a little or a lot, just pray this Tuesday.

Pray the Christian body awakes even more. Pray the Holy Spirit breathes life on the dry bones. Pray for faith and unity to stay in the body. Pray for souls to get saved. Pray as you would want others to pray for you.

We had small churches praying and we had churches, all over the world, of 10,000 and more praying. We had prayer groups praying. We had home fellowship groups praying. And we had thousands of individuals praying. We even had four people in Papua, New Guinea praying for Washington!

Brownsville, Toronto, Smithton, Korea, and Japan are just a few of the places where people were praying.

The responses to our request were overwhelming! So many people in other nations were already burdened to pray for our part of the country. There is an urgency in their prayers, as they know we desperately need a move of God - before God moves in judgment. How incredible to be praying in agreement with so many brothers and sisters, and to know NOW is God's time!

Here is my request . If you are a Christian, please, do not say you are too busy. Just whisper a prayer for Washington.

California Deveastation Prediction Update (10/28/99)

There have been several prophecies warning of the possible devastation on the U.S. West coast before November 1, 1999 unless there is "sufficient repentance." I mentioned the move to repentance in my home church over the last month or so. Below is a letter from a Washington State Church also being moved to repentance by God (excerpt: "It started with the children. Some as young as 6 years old saw a vision of Hell, and started crying out to Jesus to save the lost.")

God also underscored the validity of these warnings of devestation with a 7.1 earthquake in the high desert of California. Here are some updates. First, as I previously wrote:

The 7.0 Earthquake in California that occurred yesterday is known as a signature judgement of God. It occurred in the high desert in a sparsely settled area, in the middle of the night and resulted in no deaths and just a few minor injuries. It is somewhat similar the the Northridge earthquake that his in the middle of the California porn industry that was also at a time that minimum loss of life would occurr.

It is not over as hundreds of aftershocks are expected. Some in the 5.0+ magnitude range.

There is no question that this was a major earth quake. Reports said it rolled on for 45 seconds. 7.1 is no small earthquake and the forth that I am aware of in the last couple of months. It was felt in LasVegas as well as buildings swayed. It was reported that Gamblers stopped for a minute or two before the resumed, but did anyone consider the meaning of this event?

Fire One for Range? This was a warning from God. If you received and read the email post last week of several prophetic warnings that California was going to be utterly devestated by earthquakes, this was not it. A signature judgement is a call to repentance and it means there is still hope according to 2 Chronicles 7:14 if GOD'S PEOPLE will repent from their wicked ways. Remeber Ninevah was only 40 days from complete annialation when they repented from the King on down and judgement that had been pronounced was rescinded (it fell several hundred years latter when their sin had reached its full).

It was a warning. Who will heed it?

=======end of previous post ==================

Apparently God is moving in repentance. Here is a letter of what is happening in the Washington State area as God is seeking for people to stand in the gap so he will not be forced to bring judgement (after this letter is more information forwarded to me):

SOMETHING'S GOING ON!!! BIG TIME!!!

At the very same MOMENT I sent my UPDATE # 2 about the U.S. West Coast devastation warning from Timothy Snodgrass in the Philippines (Letter is included below), I received the following urgent prayer request for the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest. This is no accident. God is doing something!!! Let us pray.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

----- Original Message ----- From: jgaffney Dear Jeff & Kathy

I can't make this long. It is already 3:20am and I have to preach in 7 hours.

Hundreds of people have been hit with a burden of intercession in Lynnwood Washington. It started with the children. Some as young as 6 years old saw a vision of Hell, and started crying out to Jesus to save the lost.

Night after night hundreds came to watch the children be touched by God, then it hit the adults. Now hundreds are coming every night to see what the Lord is doing in Washington.

Pastor John just read the first 20 verses of the book of Ruth and 17 people jumped up to get saved. There were 17 children crying out to God at the altar when this happened.

A miraculous burden of prayer has hit the people here for the PNW. For Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Now we are expecting thousands this Tuesday, the 26th of October. If everyone comes who has said they will come, we may have as many as 3 - 4,000 in prayer meeting just this Tuesday alone. It was standing room only tonight.

These numbers may seem small to some of you back east but you must remember we are in the most unchurched area of the nation. To get even a few hundred is a miracle for Washington.

God is on the move and the body of Christ is responding to the call.

Please Pray

May the Commanded Blessing of God be upon you and yours.

LETTER #3: -

X-Sender: bramlett@pop3.magicnet.net Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 09:32:02 From: Jim Bramlett Dear friends:

Last night I received an e-mail from my new acquaintance, the U.S. missionary in the Philippines, Timothy Snodgrass, who had the angel encounter on September 20th warning of a possible devastation on the U.S. West coast before November 1, 1999 unless there is "sufficient repentance." He gave me the address of his new Web site, still under construction, which is http://www.expage.com/page/tgsnodgrass. He says, "The site now has three links, but will be expanded even further as construction continues during the following week. The 'ministry' section is not up yet (which tells more about us and will answer most of your questions), but it will be up in a few days."

Below is an excerpt from his Web page, mentioning the September encounter and also something else very unusual.

First, let me say that Timothy's 9/20/99 encounter was obviously no small thing to him. It was so real and powerful it caused him to make the extremely long and expensive short trip back to the U.S. to lead in intercession.

Second, Timothy's very first night after arrival in the U.S. resulted in another angel encounter, and also the now-rated 7.1 earthquake in Southern California! Incredible timing. It is described below:

Prophetic Intelligence Report

10/19/99 Issue

The West Coast of America is overdue to experience an unprecedented seismic event. A similar event took place approximately 4,000 years ago, which was so enormous that tidal waves from the shaking embedded the bones of fish into rocks on mountain peaks as high as Mount Shasta in California, and tossed boulders the size of semi trucks like pebbles across several thousand miles from the Atlantic to the Midwest of the United States, according to scientists. Althought the magnitude of this next event will be much smaller than the one which caused the flood 4,000 years ago, nevertheless, if not averted through prayer, fasting, and repentance it will be large enough to destroy entire portions of the West Coast of America, and be felt along the Pacific Rim from China to Mexico, according to angelic warnings. Can this event be delayed or averted? YES!!! That was the message of the angel on 9/20/99. God cares about the lives and souls of people who live along the Pacific Rim!

In the last September report I gave an account of angelic visitation which occurred in the Philippines Islands on 9/20/99. The angel communicated not with words, but mind to mind by the Spirit of the Lord that the West Coast of America would be destroyed in less than 40 days (before November) if there was not sufficient repentance. Within seven hours after the visitation a 7.6 earthquake struck Taiwan, and shortly after the Philippines experienced a volcanic eruption and a series of large earthquakes. In the report I also communicated that I would be returning to the United States on Oct. 15, 1999, to intercede for the West Coast of America. When I arrived in Las Vegas on the evening of Oct. 15 I was very tired from my long journey and immediately fell asleep. Seven hours later, I awoke at 2:45am and saw an unusual sight. Three angels were standing at the foot of my bed looking down at me! I rubbed my eyes and began to fall back asleep, when a large noise thundered outside my window (which sounded like a tree falling over and hitting our building). It startled me into an alert state, and I looked for the angels but they were no longer there. Seconds later the earhquake struck, which felt like waves of the ocean rolling over our apartment. I threw on my robe and slippers and quickly ran out of the building. The street was filled with other people who had evacuated from their homes, and who were in a dazed and confused state. (I had witnessed this same sight in the Philippines the previous month during the volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.) This 7.0 earthquake, which was centered near Twenty-Nine Palms in California, was not the fulfillment of the prophetic word, but a warning of the seriousness of the matter. Prophetic warnings are often mocked and ridiculed by the Church in America, especially if a date is mentioned. And when a remnant of people begin to pray and fast and the judgment is delayed or averted, the prophetic messenger is often called a false prophet. The Church in America needs to grow up and stop stoning God's messengers. Don't judge all prophetic ministries just because you've had a bad experience with one immature 'prophet'. Don't throw out the baby with the bath water! The warning has now been given. This judgment CAN be delayed or averted if there is repentance, prayer, and fasting, and most importantly, we must learn to love one another...[To receive a FULL transcript of the Oct 19, 1999 issue of the Prophetic Intelligence report, please send a request via e-mail to: cyrus9999@hotmail.com

We are on the verge of judgement, if repentance is not forthcoming.

Fire One For Range (10/17/1999)

Source: Various Sources

The 7.0 Earthquake in California that occurred yesterday is known as a signature judgement of God. It occurred in the high desert in a sparsely settled area, in the middle of the night and resulted in no deaths and just a few minor injuries. It is somewhat similar the the Northridge earthquake that his in the middle of the California porn industry that was also at a time that minimum loss of life would occurr.

It is not over as hundreds of aftershocks are expected. Some in the 5.0+ magnitude range.

There is no question that this was a major earth quake. Reports said it rolled on for 45 seconds. 7.0 is no small earthquake and the forth that I am aware of in the last couple of months. It was felt in LasVegas as well as buildings swayed. It was reported that Gamblers stopped for a minute or two before the resumed, but did anyone consider the meaning of this event?

Fire One for Range? This was a warning from God. If you received and read the email post last week of several prophetic warnings that California was going to be utterly devestated by earthquakes, this was not it. A signature judgement is a call to repentance and it means there is still hope according to 2 Chronicles 7:14 if GOD'S PEOPLE will repent from their wicked ways. Remeber Ninevah was only 40 days from complete annialation when they repented from the King on down and judgement that had been pronounced was rescinded (it fell several hundred years latter when their sin had reached its full).

It was a warning. Who will heed it?

Here is the previous post:

The following letter was issued by fellow watchman Jim Bramlett. When one considers Amos 3:7 (Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.), what is contained herein is certainly plausible. It is also plausible for the following reasons:

1) Large increase in very large earth quakes and volcanic eruptions in the last couple of months (warning quakes in California last month) 2) Rise of Sodom and Gommorah activities in California (See second letter below) 3) General signs of judgements as enumerated ad nausium on this web site.

Now, do not miss the part that repentance in accordance with 2 Chronicles 7:14 can avert this disaster, just as intercession and repentance turned Hurricane Floyd as that last moment avoiding a disaster of Biblical proportions (apologies to North Carolina which is still struggling in the after math of Floyd).

What is interesting to me is the repentance that "broke out" in my home church the last two Sundays. It was not just kl=little stuff, people were standing in the fro=nt asking for forgiveness for such things as hating their brother and wanting to strangle him to death, unforgiveness, intense uncontrollable anger, etc.

What has been going on in your churches? And do not forget to intercede and pray.

Blessings, Vince

BREAKING NEWS!

Dear friends:

Information has come to me this week, and today, that I must pass on immediately. I would be foolish not to do so. My calling is like that of a reporter. I report what comes to me, after prayerfully weighing it and determining if there are any possible confirmations. Your job is to judge it and act on it if and how the Lord may lead.

If nothing happens, some will be quick to ridicule this report. That's okay. I would rather suffer the ridicule of men that the rebuke of the Lord for not reporting it, and warning people.

IF WHAT I HAVE RECEIVED THIS WEEK IS CORRECT, THERE WILL BE A MAJOR, MAJOR DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKE ON THE WEST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. SEE BELOW FOR POSSIBLE DATE.

IF YOU LIVE ON THE WEST COAST OF THE U.S., PRAY ESPECIALLY HARD FOR GUIDANCE.

1. WORD FROM ANGEL. The following story from a U.S. missionary in the Philippines, Timothy Snodgrass, was forwarded to me this week by a friend. I traced the story to its source, a lady who personally knows Timothy and who told me that revelations he has had for her in the past have all come true. Here is an amazing, recent supernatural account described by Timothy:

"On 9/20/99 I received a message which was delivered by a heavenly mesenger who was dispatched from the continent of Africa. His skin was of dark complexion, and his royal clothing was African interwoven with kingly designs. In his right hand he held a beautiful walking staff which was inlayed with turquoise stones formed in the fashion of animals, trees and symbols representing Africa. Standing behind him I could see the faint images of other angels, but my eyes were not focused upon the angels, but upon the walking staff which this heavenly messenger carried. Immediately in response to my thoughts, the angel gently placed the staff in my hand. When I touched it I became dizzy and drunk and could not stand on my feet without leaning on the staff. The angel gave me a message without speaking a word.

"His message was basically, 'The West Coast of America will be destroyed in less than 40 days (before 11-1-99) if there is not a sufficient repentance.' A new strength swept over my physical body and I lifted up the staff towards heaven and began to prophesy. I struck the ground with my staff and seismic waves began to ripple across the earth in every direction. Suddenly there was a flash of light and loud clash of thunder and the angels were gone. (A spectacular electrical storm was dancing across the Philippines.) Within 7 hours after the angelic visitation a 7.6 earthquake struck Taiwan, and shortly after that a volcano erupted in the Philippines. Following the volcanic eruption, there were several large earthquakes sending many residents in the Central and Southern Philippines into a state of panic."

2. SIMILAR WORD ONE DAY BEFORE ON OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD! Today I discovered through a reliable friend that a young man, Robert, in Virginia on the other side of the world, had a visitation from the Lord amazingly just one day before the above encounter. The friend of Robert with whom I spoke, a mature Christian lady, said that when Robert hears from God, the Lord always starts with, "Robert, listen to me." Robert's body shakes. He hears words in his spirit, and then he sees pictures. Robert says that on September 19, 1999 the Lord said to him, "What was is not to be." He then saw the West Coast of the U.S. "fallen off and consumed by the sea." He saw a dam burst. He saw other things such as a volcano erupting. Last week he offered this additional information: The West Coast earthquake will be OCTOBER 11, 1999.

It is interesting that on August 16, 1999, Robert saw a "great storm" and the entire East Coast covered with black clouds from Florida to Maine, and he saw severe flooding. This was only 3-4 weeks before hurricane Floyd hit, affecting from Florida to Maine and causing severe flooding. Floyd was truly a "great storm,"one of the largest and most powerful hurricanes in history. Oddly, it became a "great storm" on September 11, the first day of the Feast of Trumpets and year 5760 on the modern Jewish calendar. And amazingly, the Hebrew gematria, or alhpa-numeric value, of the Hebrew letters for F L O Y D = 5760.

3. PASTOR'S WORD OF WARNING. Pastor Dan Bohler of Kansas City called me one night last week, saying the Lord had put me on his heart to call. He said he senses that judgment on America is imminent. He specifically sees terrorist attacks coming. He said he senses it may begin in OCTOBER, 1999. (Interestingly, the mainstream media reported this week that the government fears an imminent chemical attack by Osama Ben Laden terrorists in the financial district of New York City.)

4. WITH INCREDIBLE TIMING, THIS VERY DAY I got a call from Bonnie Gaunt saying there are reasons to believe the rapture may be on October 10. On the corrected Jewish calendar, October 9 will be Tishri 1, the beginning of the Feast of Trumpets and possibly on God's true calendar the end of the sixth millennial day, just one day before the possible judgments. It may also complete 2,000 years or two millennial days since Jesus' birth, possibly marking the beginning of the third day of Hosea 6:2. Bonnie says that if the 6,000-year "earth lease" (that Charles Capps also refers to) expires on October 9, it makes sense that the judgments would follow immediately. The very next day???

Bonnie said that a comprehensive article written by a friend is being e-mailed to me by him. The article reportedly documents reasons for an imminent rapture. I will forward it upon receipt.

Do with the above as the Lord leads. Note in item number 1above that the angel said it is conditional, based on possible "sufficient" repentance. May the Holy Sprit bring a spirit of repentance all across the land. Only God knows how much is "sufficient." He always offers repentance, but in His foreknowledge He knows whether or not it will be sufficient. It is all in His hands.

May the God of grace have mercy and grant grace, especially upon His people.

Come, Lord Jesus.

Subject: homosexual bills passed

Precedent-setting Calif. laws include homosexual teachers

By Karen L. Willoughby

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (BP)--Calif. Gov. Gray Davis signed three pro-homosexual bills into law Oct. 2, including a measure buttressing the rights of homosexual and lesbian public school teachers.

Davis selected the date to coincide with his and President Bill Clinton's presence at a fund-raising "Gay and Lesbian Presidential Dinner" in Beverly Hills, the governor's spokeswoman Hilary McLean said.

Art Croney, lobbyist and executive director of the Committee on Moral Concerns, a nonprofit group funded in part by the California Southern Baptist Convention, lamented it is "the first time ever in the history of California to have a governor who is radical enough to sign these bills."

"The laws we are passing now have never been accepted in any civilization or any religion," Croney lamented. "No civilization in all of human history has given this type of societal recognition to gays and lesbians."

Davis, at the homosexual fund-raiser in Beverly Hills, stated, "These three bills will send a message across this country and around the world that we are determined to unleash the full potential of the human spirit here in California."

Davis' action indeed is expected to ripple across the nation, Croney warned. "The gay activists aren't going to be satisfied with this," he said. "They're just now feeling empowered."

The bills Davis signed into law are:

-- Assembly Bill 26, which establishes a statewide registry for domestic partnerships, which it defines as same-sex couples of legal age and heterosexual couples age 62 or older.

-- Assembly Bill 537, which adds "sexual orientation" to a list of protected classifications in the state's education code prohibiting harassment and discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion ancestry, national origin, disability and gender.

AB537 also means school districts cannot refuse to hire and cannot dismiss teachers because of their sexual lifestyle choices, according to information supplied by Capitol Resource Institute in Sacramento, Calif., a Christian values-based educational nonprofit organization.

-- Assembly Bill 1001, which adds sexual orientation to anti-discrimination provisions of California's Fair Employment and Housing Act. This measure elevates sexual orientation to the level of race or ethnicity, which are protected by civil rights laws. AB 1001 requires tax-funded investigations, and fines and damages of up to $50,000, for violations of the law.

Davis vetoed Senate Bill 75, which would have provided domestic partner registration as an alternative to marriage for any couple. The governor called the bill "overly broad."

Still on hold is Assembly Bill 1670, which would provide protected "civil rights" status to homosexuals and allow $150,000 in fines and damages to be levied against people who did not want to do business with people who chose a homosexual lifestyle, according to the Capitol Resource Institute. If the governor does not rule on the bill by Oct. 10, it automatically becomes law by default.

"These bills have been around for years," Croney said. "The difference is that we have a new governor, one who supports the gay agenda. It's theoretically possible to challenge the laws in court. But we have a liberal judiciary. We lost that branch of government a long time ago."

California in 1975 was one of the first states to abolish a law prohibiting sodomy. Davis' election last year "emboldened [gay] activists to introduce their most ambitious legislative package ever," stated an Oct. 3 report in the Sacramento (Calif.) Bee daily newspaper. "[T]he governor did not disappoint them."

Wiley Drake, pastor at First Southern Baptist Church, Buena Park, Calif., was among the speakers at a noontime rally of about 200 people Oct. 5 in front of Davis' Riverside office.

The rally, during which a cardboard cutout of the governor was tarred and feathered, was sponsored by the nonprofit Campaign for California Families.

Drake is pastor of a church in a commercial part of Buena Park that squared off with city officials about three years ago after about 20 homeless people sought sanctuary on church property. Today more than 200 people live on the property; the church is in a building program to provide suitable living quarters.

"We see right here at First Southern the terrible hideousness of AIDS and the results of broken lives as a result of homosexual promiscuity," Drake told the rally in explaining why he joined the anti-homosexual-rights movement. "Their lifestyle literally becomes a physical as well as spiritual suicide."

Making laws that promote more of the same is counterproductive, Drake said.

"If we go back to the early writings of the communist party in this country, we find one of their flagship enterprises was to promote homosexuality because they knew that was breaking the foundation of the family, and that would break America," Drake explained. "The demise of the human race has just begun."

Drake listed seven steps of action that could be taken against Davis:

1) "Adopt a commitment to follow the Bible as Peter and the other apostles did when they said, 'We ought to obey God rather than men,' in Acts 5:29, and proclaim God's truth about homosexuality as found in Romans 1:24-32."

2) "Commence imprecatory prayer and cry out to God for vengeance and judgment as David did in Psalm 109:1-31."

3) "Commit to daily prayer for those caught up in the sin of homosexuality and any other sin of the flesh."

4) "Continue communication and prayer sessions with legislators who honor and uphold the Judeo-Christian values our state and nation were founded upon."

5) "Work as though everything depended on us, but know and trust God for the final victory, as well as new legislation to counter these ungodly laws."

6) "Pray and ask God for his mercy and patience to hold his terrible 'Woe' when he said, 'Woe to them who call evil good, and good, evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!' Isaiah 5:20."

7) "Pray that the pulpits of America proclaim the whole Word of God as we ask God for revival in our country."

"When the governor signed those bills, we obviously were disappointed and spent some time praying and crying for our nation, because we know as California goes, so goes the nation," Drake said. "We are afraid this is going to set a very bad precedent for the rest of the nation."

So what's a Christian American to do?

"They could elect a conservative majority to the assembly or the senate; they have that opportunity every two years," said Croney, speaking specifically about California of an effort needed in any state. "Too many people don't vote and some who do are taken in by campaign ads.

"You can't use campaign advertising to decide which candidate will be a better lawmaker," Croney continued. "Look at their voting record. If someone voted for gay rights it doesn't matter how conservative their advertising is." ------------------------------------------------------------ ----

Earthquakes are continuing to grow in severity and diversity.

On Monday, September 20, 1999, another powerful earthquake struck. This one had a preliminary magnitude of 7.6 and struck Taiwan before dawn on Tuesday. It knocked out power and collapsed buildings. A tsunami warning (Tidal Wave) was issued. Over 1,000 people have been killed and 3,500 injured, however, many more are trapped in buildings and the death toll is expected to rise.

On September 8, 1999 there was a Strong earthquake registering 5.9 on the Richter scale hit Athens Greece on Tuesday. At least 30 people died, and nearly 100 were reported missing. More than 100 buildings crumbled and power and telephone service was out in many places of this city of more than five million.

On August 26, 1999 an earthquake, with a magnitude of six on the open-ended Richter scale, shook provinces in the central and southern Philippines Thursday, causing mild panic but there were no reports of casualties or damage, officials said.

On August 29, 1999 a strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.5 struck western and central Japan.

On August 17, 1999 a quake measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale hit the San Francisco area, but fortunately there were no immediate reports of damage or injury, officials said. (This may have been a warning to repent before judgement, in accordance with Jude verses 3-8, is measured out.

On August 17,1999, a massive earthquake struck at the heart of Turkey's most populated cities killing many thousands of people Tall buildings and homes collapsed. The National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo. revised its estimate of the quake's magnitude upward to 7.8, making it nearly as powerful as the 7.9-magnitude San Francisco quake, which killed 700 people in 1906.

On Thu Aug 12,1999, a strong earthquake rocked parts of central Indonesia. It was a magnitude 6 earthquake struck centered beneath the Maluku Sea, about 200 miles east of the Central Sulawesi capital of Palu, said Rasyid, an official of the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency in Jakarta.

On Wed Aug 11,1999 a series of earthquakes and aftershocks jolted large parts of the Mideast and western Mediterranean islands, including Iran and Cyprus, where quakes with preliminary magnitudes of 4.2 and 5.8 were reported.

Also on Wed Aug 11,1999 a moderate earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.2 shook Tokyo and the port city of Yokohama.

Luke 21:36

"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains." (Matthew 24:6-8)

JUD 1:3-8 "Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own habitation, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries.

Some day we will experience the mother of all earthquakes:

"This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD. In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground. I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign LORD. Every man's sword will be against his brother. I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'" (Eze 38:18-23)

"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains." (Matthew 24:6-8)

HAG 2:7 I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD Almighty.

ROM 8:20-23 "For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. And not only they, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

"Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666." (Rev 13:11-18)

Playing God and Other Misdemeanors (09/17/99)

Source: various news sources

Fred Moody, who writes for ABC News, has a terrified friend -- David Melville, an eccentric physicist and thinker.

Melville is preoccupied with what he regards as the most dangerous event in human history: an experiment, scheduled for November, at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y. Brookhaven has a device, called the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, that has the world’s physicists tremendously excited. Scientists believe they can use the collider to duplicate the conditions that prevailed milliseconds after the Big Bang. The only problem, according to Melville, is that, “It has been theorized by Steven Hawking that from the quark-gluon plasma that would result from the experiment that other forms of matter could also be produced; the most dangerous being a black hole.” Melville believes if you did create one in the Lab, that although it would be microscopic at first, it would grow exponentially, eventually obliterating Earth.

In case you think this boarders on mental illness, Fred Moody writes that other physicists are speculating along the same lines as Melville. He points to the July 1999 Scientific American which contains letters debating the possibility Melville raises, and the July 18 Sunday Times of London reported on and editorialized against the experiment, which it considers frighteningly dangerous.

Moody concludes they are playing at God. He feels that the experiment is conducted by human beings who cannot possibily no all the unknown paths that this experiment could take; just as powerful antibiotics ultimately created an invincible staphylococcus bacterium. In other words, techno-pride goeth before the fall.

Prophetic Significance:

DAN 12:4 "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."

Clearly world-wide travel and knowledge have increased dramatically. There is no question that mankind's knowledge continues to expand at an accelerated rate. But with that increased knowledge comes an increased ego and a disdain for the God that demands faith in the face of intellectual elitism.

As far as a black hole destroying the earth, I do not find anything in the Bible about the earth being destroyed by a black hole, so I am not too concerned about this experiment destoying the whole world. But it does point out the pride and arrogance of our societies elite that they have placed their faith in a techno-god and their own abilities to foresee the future. We see it in cloning experiments. We see it in the placing of pig organs in human beings (which all carry, in the words of researchers a virus that is harmless but also cannot not be eliminated from the pig cell as it is part of the pig's basic DNA), we see it the invention of "terminator seeds" which are not viable in subsequent generations -- excuse me, what if something unexpected happened and all seeds on the planet mutated unexpectedly -- all life would very soon cease to exist.

The Bible is clear -- only God knows the future: "Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure." (Isa 46:9-10)

The Bible is also clear that "pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." (Pro 16:18)

Very soon now we will all be called to give an account before God. If you are not clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ, you can intellectualize God away all you want, but you will not be spending eternity in heaven, but rather in a place with a much more severe climate.

God is Love and He is not willing that any should perish, but for those who reject the free gift of salvation made available through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, they will find themselves sinners in the hands of an angry God. Yes, God is a God of Love, but He is also a God of Holiness and righteous judgement who cannot even look on sin - which is why God the Father turned away from Jesus when Jesus carried the sins of the world at Calvary which prompted Jesus to say "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me."

Likewise, when we die our eternal spirit, if not regenerated, by the new birth experience, into the family of God, will not be spending eternity in heaven as God cannot even look on sin.

The time of redemption is at hand. If you are still playing with sin in your life, there is not much time left before the door to salvation and restoration closes -- and it will be too late.

Jesus wants to be our ``Kinsman Redeemer'' and reddem us from the law of sin and death, but this is only possible if we make Him our ``Near-of-Kin'' by being adopted into the family of God.

God is spirit; therefore, to be adopted requires a spiritual rebirth. This is what Jesus was talking about when he told Nicodemus that he must be born again (born from above [John 3:3]). If we're not born into the family of God, Jesus can't redeem us. But if we'll just ask God to forgive our sins and ask Jesus to become Lord of our lives; He will also become our Kinsman Redeemer; we will be spiritually regenerated (reborn) into God's family; God will seal us with the Holy Spirit, the guarantee of our redemption when Jesus comes again. (Eph 4:30).

Jesus is coming soon! Are you ready to meet your God? And for those of you who name the name of Jesus, but have not bore the fruits of repentance, you may be a "Christian" in name only. It is time to work out your own salvation in fear and in trembling.

The time of redemption is at hand. If you are still playing with sin in your life, there is not much time left before the door to salvation closes and it will be too late.

Thus says the LORD: "Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death." -- Choose life.

REV 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

JOH 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. (1JO 1:9-2:6)

"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' "The man with the two talents also came. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.' "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' "Then the man who had received the one talent came. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.' "His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. "'Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' "They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' "He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." (MAT 25:21-46)

War in the Middle East - The Handwriting is on the Wall (09/16/99)

Source: various news sources

War in the Middle East - The Handwriting is on the Wall

On July 29, 1999 we reported that Arutz-7 Radio indicated that "Israel's newest submarine - the Dolphin - was to arrive in Israel. The German-built Dolphin is the first of three similar submarines to be accepted by the Navy over the course of the coming year. Cost per sub: $300 million. Foreign experts say the submarine could be outfitted to give Israel a second-strike nuclear capability, helping Israel retaliate against nuclear attacks on the mainland..."

On August 17, 1999 we reported that Syria, with the help of North Korea, has constructed a network of five tunnels throughout the country to conceal its nuclear weapons program and its arsenal of ballistic missiles (SCUD-500 Kilometer range and capable of being tipped with nonconventional warheads carrying Saran Nerve Gas), reported Steve Rodan, editor of Middle East Newsline. The report also indicated that nine additional fortified tunnels were underway so with the five already completed in aggregate all 1,000 missles in Syria's arsenal could be protected from conventional Israeli attack.

On September 15th, it was reported that Syria is within six months to maybe a year of deploying a "Super Scud-C" missile, with an estimated range of some 500 kilometers, is capable of targeting all of Israel with biological or chemical warheads. The missile is being with Iran who has been providing technical and financial support. In addition, Syria is making other military preparations, reinforcing its missile silos and taking other steps to protect its missile launchers from attack. In addition, ABC news recently reported that Syria is successfully circumventing US restrictions to obtain missile technology from China. Syria is attempting to extend its strategic missile threat through acquiring the M-9 medium-range ballistic missile. The missile's range will allow Syria to strike with conventional, chemical and possibly nuclear- warheads as far away as Ankara, Turkey and deepen its options with Israel

Taken in aggregate, we can see the fulfillment of Isaiah 17:1 on the table as well as movement toward the Ezekiel 38 invasion of Israel.

Israel's first strike nuclear capability is the only thing that has kept Israel safe from its hostile neighbors. However, giving back land in exchange for peace has compromised their ability to react to an invasion. Syria is taking a hard-line in peace negotiations and demanding the return of all the Golan heights. If this would occur, Israel would not have sufficient warning to react to a sudden and swift attack. Obviously, these submarines would give Israel a second strike nuclear deterrent. However, the timing of the submarines deployment with the relinquishment of the Golan heights may be the "hook in the jaw" for Israel's enemies to attack. The Ezekiel 38 invasion is described a a massive attack designed to destroy Israel once and for all. Such an attack would not have the ability to eliminate a Israeli nuclear response if the new subs were deployed. This invites an attack before Israel can deploy its new subs. Is this the "Hook in the Jaw" Please reference the study on Ezekiel 38 and 39 via the Prophetic Links below. Maranatha!

Also, Isaiah 17:1 points out that, sometime in the future, Damascus will be totally destroyed. We know it has to be future since it has not happened to date. And it is well known that if Israel is backed into a corner, they will order preemptive strikes utilizing whatever technology they deem appropriate, including nuclear arms. If Syria and Israel do have a military confrontation, will Syria's military alliance with Russia be the ``hook in the jaw'' mentioned in Ezekiel 38 that draws Russia into its end-times invasion of Israel? Keep your focus on God, but watch Israel.

Maranatha!
Luke 21:36


Prophetic Significance:

Clearly Syria is preparing to win a war with Israel and today's report of Syria being within six months of targeting all of Israel is something that is not being overlooked or underestimated by Israel. You can also be certain that Israel's acquision of 2nd strike nuclear capabilities is not being overlooked by Iran, Russia, etc. This is just one more piece in the puzzle as we see the Ezekiel 38 players being positioned by God. There is no question in this author's mind that the Ezekiel 38 invasion of Israel may be very close and in concert with it may be the destruction of America. America is over ripe for judgement. If America fails to help Israel when the invasion occurs we will be most likely be judged based on Genesis 12:3.

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. Please read the prophetic links below for additional information. (Isa 17:1)

Cornerstone for the Third Temple - 09/14/1999

Source: Temple Mount Faithful

Cornerstone for the Third Temple

Someday the building for the third temple will begin and the anti-christ will be in the background waiting to deile the temple and declare himself to be God. Sometime soon, as a result of the defeat of Israel's enemies in the Ezekiel 38 battle with god, a peace treaty, or in some other manner, this temple will be built and when it starts to go up, there will be no question that Jesus is at the Door.

From: Temple Mount Faithfull
Date: Tue, 14 Sep 1999 17:49:22 +0200
Cornerstone for the Third Temple
Sukkoth 5760 (1999)

On Monday 27th September, 1999, the third day of the Feast of Tabernacles, at 09:00 AM, The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will hold an historical event; the cornerstone for the Third Temple will be carried to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to be laid on the south-eastern corner of the location of the First and Second Temples to start the godly process of the rebuilding of the Temple. The event will start at the Western Wall Plaza close to the ramp leading up to the Western Gate of the Temple Mount.

As usual, it appears that the Arabs who still manage the Temple Mount, will do their best to prevent this event from taking place and the Israeli authorities will not allow the cornerstone to be laid on the Temple Mount because of fear of the hostile Arab reaction. The Israeli authorities will only allow the cornerstone to be brought close to the Eastern Gate o f the Temple Mount and to the City of David. However, we still have almost 2 week until the event and we will do our best to convince the Israeli authorities to open the gates of the Temple Mount for the cornerstone.

The laying of the cornerstone will be an exciting event. In the early morning the 4˝ tonne marble cornerstone, which according to the Word of G-d, was not cut with iron, will be taken under a chuppah on a flat-bed truck covered with Israel flags. A priest, who will wear the original priestly garments prepared over the last years in Jerusalem according to the godly laws after much research, will follow the cornerstone. He will carry the vessel to draw the water from the Pool of Siloam which will be poured on the stone. Other vessels which were also recently reconstructed for the Temple Mount will also be carried by other priests. Levites will play musical instruments which were reconstructed according to the design of the musical instruments of the First and Second Temples.

They will also blow shofars. From the Eastern walls and gate of the Temple Mount, the cornerstone will be taken to the City of David and be anointed to be the cornerstone of the Third Temple in the same place where 3000 years ago, King David anointed the Ark of the Covenant of the First Temple. From there, the cornerstone will then be taken. Followed by the crowd, to the Pool of Siloam where the Biblical ceremony of the drawing the water, as done in the time of the First and Second Temples, will be performed. The water will be poured on the cornerstone. In the Biblical times this was a special ceremony performed by the pilgrims together with the kings of Israel , the priests and the Levites. It was a ceremony full of joy and celebration when they asked G-d to bless the year and to give them a lot of rain and to bless the ground.

In this event we shall renew all of these and other Biblical traditions and bring them close to the hearts of people and we shall give all the people of Israel and all the world the feeling that it is again a reality in our lifetime.

Friends and members of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement from Israel and from all over the world will participate in this exciting event and everyone is called on and invited to be together with us on this special day.

The event of the building of the Third Temple, the end-time Temple, belongs to everyone in the world. G-d dedicated and anointed Israel to rebuild the Temple, but He expects everyone to participate and to be a part of it because the Third Temple will, according to the Word of G-d , be "a house of prayer for all nations". We call on everyone in the world to join s in this godly work. If you can join us on this day in this event you will be welcomed with deep appreciation and love. If you cannot come, be with us, encourage, support and help us in the coming time in any way that you can.

This event, which was the biggest dream of the Jewish people over the last 1900 years since the destruction of the Temple in 70 C.E. will completely change the status quo in Israel, the Middle East and all over the world. It will fire the imagination of all mankind and open their hearts and eyes to understand the godly end-time task which G-d gave to modern Israel. This will be a key event which will not only change the life of Israel but the life of all mankind. The rebuilding of the Temple will bring the major end-time events to a climax and open the gate for the coming of Mashiach ben David. This will show that we wish to bring the G-d of Israel and His commandments and laws into the centre of our life and the Word of G-d in Isaiah 2:2-5 will become a reality in our generation. "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. And many people shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for from Zion shall go forth Torah, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall decide for many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of the Lord."

G-d is ready for this great vision to be fulfilled in our lifetime and the great godly event of the rebirth of Israel in 1948 opened this era. We are living in a great godly time and we know that G-d is expecting us to rebuild His house. When we founded the Temple Mount Faithful Movement, we immediately understood that we are living in G-d's timing and we decided to be G-d ‘s vessel for this great godly cause. We felt privileged to dedicate our lives for this goal, not just as a theoretical vision, but to make it a practical event in out lifetime. To those who do not have the vision and the godly values to understand this and who say that the time to rebuild G-d's house in Jerusalem, because of fear of the Arab Islamic reaction, and the other enemies of Israel all over the world, including the great powers, we shall say what Joshua and Caleb said when the 10 spies told to Moses and Israel that they could not take the Promised Land because of the giants: We shall go and take the land which G-d promised us and we trust that G-d will give us success and defeat all the giants. We shall also say what the prophet Haggai said in the name of G-d to the poeple of Israel at a very similar time in the life of the people of Israel: "Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, saying, This people say that the time has not yet come, the time that the Lord's house should be built. Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying, Is it time for you, yourselves, to dwell in your well timbered houses, while this house lies in ruins? And therefore thus says the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways. You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but you have not enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you dress yourself, but there is no warm; and he who earns wages earns wages to put it into a bag with holes. Thus says the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways. Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, says the Lord. You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? says the Lord of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, and everyone of you runs to his own house."

Our activities in the coming year will be very intensive and your help is needed even more than at any time in the past.

May G-d bless all of us that in this new Hebrew year, and very soon, we shall see the fulfillment of this major godly cause, the coming of Maschiach ben David and that we shall stand hand-in-hand before G-d in His rebuilt house in Jerusalem and we shall thank Him and give Him glory for the great privilege that He gave us of acting and working for this great cause at a time when it was so needed. This day is soon to come.

A happy and blessed new year to all of you. May the G-d of Israel bless you.

Maranatha!
Luke 21:36


Prophetic Significance:

The Temple is most likely required to be up so the anti-christ can defile it.

"He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him." (Daniel 9:27)

Russia Buried Explosives on U.S. Soil - 09/13/1999

Source: Misc. Reports On September 11, 1999 Yahoo News carried a Reuters news account that indicated that Russia has buried explosives on U.S. soil.

According to Reuters, "Soviet spies buried explosives across the United States and Europe as part of a Cold War sabotage campaign that identified power stations, fuel pipelines and other infrastructure sites, a former KGB official says. Soviet spies surveyed hundreds of potential sabotage sites in the United States and Western Europe in the 1960s and 1970s. ''As part of that,'' according to ``60 Minutes'' ``they buried booby trapped arms caches near some of the targets.'' The explosives presumably are still there.

In the United States, the KGB sabotage plan covered areas across the country. One of the first targets identified by the KGB was an oil pipeline running from El Paso, Texas, to Costa Mesa, California. The Hungry Horse Dam in Montana also was on the list as was a ``tremendously elaborate system'' for knocking out electrical power to New York state, ``60 Minutes'' reports.

Unfortunately, the spy, Mitrokhin, told ``60 Minutes,'' that his files did not ``spell out'' how many explosives were buried in the United States or their exact locations, but Andrew says in his U.S. TV interview that the Kremlin knows where they are.

In Europe, Andrew said one of the sabotage sites was ''checked out'' in Switzerland. Mitrokhin's directions were followed ``precisely'' and when investigators began to dig, they uncovered something dangerous. ``They turned a fire hose (on the site) and it exploded,'' he said.

In the report, A Clear and Present Danger it was reported that on August 30, 1999 by Joseph de Courcy, editor of "Intelligence Digest," that "while NATO congratulates itself on bombing the Serbs into submission, Israel's Mossad and other Middle Eastern intelligence sources have discovered that Kosovo was one humiliation too many for Russia. As a result Moscow has agreed to back Saddam's plan of revenge and with Russian backing, Saddam is joining with Iran and Syria to launch one final war against Israel. Saddam will allow Iranian troops to cross Iraqi territory to join the attack on Israel. And to keep America from interfering, Moscow has given Osama bin Laden and other terrorists the means to attack American population centers with weapons of mass destruction. "Intelligence Digest" is an old and respected intelligence service from the UK and it says the threat is real and that it is based on hard intelligence.

Based on this latest information, it is clear that part of Russia's strategy is to destabilize the West...perhaps they will succeed and this is why America only makes a diplomatic protest when the Ezekiel 38 invasion begins. It may also be the reason why no overt reference to the U.S.A. is found in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

We must recognize that it is God who causes countries to reign and other countries to be torn down. It is God who "changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning." (Dan 2:21)

If America moves against Israel in days ahead, it may be that this is what causes to scales of justice to tip on the side of the 40 million aborted babies and cause's God's righteous judgement to fall on America.

Another Large Earthquake - 9/8/1999

Source: Misc. Reports

A Strong earthquake registering 5.9 on the Richter scale hit Athens Greece on Tuesday. At least 30 people died, and nearly 100 were reported missing. More than 100 buildings crumbled and power and telephone service was out in many places of this city of more than five million.

"And I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,' says the LORD of hosts." (Hag 2:7)

Previously reported: -
On 8/26/99 an earthquake, with a magnitude of six on the open-ended Richter scale, shook provinces in the central and southern Philippines Thursday, causing mild panic but there were no reports of casualties or damage, officials said.

A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.5 struck western and central Japan on Saturday, the Meteorological Agency said.

In Turkey in the aftermath of one of the worst earthquakes in history, officials are increasingly fearful that epidemics of cholera and typhoid could break out in the chaos and decay left by Tuesday's massive quake in Turkey.

Recorded deaths have now climbed past 10,000, and the injured number above 45,000. At least 35,000 others could still be trapped under rubble, but experts warn that most could be dead from dehydration.

A strong earthquake measuring 6.7 on the open ended Richter scale rocked the Central American nation of Costa Rica early Friday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

An earthquake measuring an estimated 5.3 on the Richter scale rattled a rural section of Montana on Friday morning, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said.

Four earthquakes hit parts of northwestern and southern Greece on Wednesday. Shortly after midnight, two tremors struck off the coast of the island of Kythira off the Peloponnese Peninsula, 140 miles south of Athens. The magnitude 4.1 quake was followed eight minutes later by a magnitude 4.2 tremor.

According to Reuters News Service, a quake measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale hit the San Francisco area on Tuesday (8/17/99) night but there were no immediate reports of damage or injury, officials said. This may have been a warning to repent before judgement, in accordance with Jude 1:3-8, is measured out.

Earlier this month, on Tuesday, Aug 17,1999, a massive earthquake struck at the heart of Turkey's most populated cities killing over 3500 people so far and injuring over 10,000. Tall buildings and homes collapsed. The National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo. revised its estimate of the quake's magnitude upward to 7.8, making it nearly as powerful as the 7.9-magnitude San Francisco quake, which killed 700 people in 1906.

Over the last couple of weeks there have been diverse and/or strong quakes around the world as predicted by Jesus in Matthew 24. On Thu Aug 12,1999, a strong earthquake rocked parts of central Indonesia. It was a magnitude 6 earthquake struck centered beneath the Maluku Sea, about 200 miles east of the Central Sulawesi capital of Palu, said Rasyid, an official of the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency in Jakarta. On Wed Aug 11,1999 a series of earthquakes and aftershocks jolted large parts of the Mideast and western Mediterranean islands, including Iran and Cyprus, where quakes with preliminary magnitudes of 4.2 and 5.8 were reported. Also on Wed Aug 11,1999 a moderate earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.2 shook Tokyo and the port city of Yokohama.

Prophetic Significance:

Some day we will experience the mother of all earthquakes:

"This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD. In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground. I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign LORD. Every man's sword will be against his brother. I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'" (Eze 38:18-23)

"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains." (Matthew 24:6-8)

JUD 1:3-8 "Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own habitation, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries.

HAG 2:7 I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD Almighty.

ROM 8:20-23 "For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. And not only they, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

Is September 9, 1999 an "Acid-Test" for Y2K?

Source: Misc. Reports

Will Sept. 9, 1999, be indicator of possible Y2K glitches??

Government agencies, banks, electric utilities and other companies around the United States will be watching closely for Y2K-like computer trouble next week when the date 9-9-99 arrives. The fear is that some computers may translate Sept. 9, 1999, as a ``9999'' stop-program command.

We have been hearing about 9/9/99 being an "acid-test" for Y2K. Well, I have to tell you, unless failures are caused on purpose to promote some agenda that we are not privy to, 9/9/99 is a non-event as far as the validity of legitimate Y2K problems occurring next year. I wrote many of the so-called "legacy" programs in the 70's and 80's including payroll, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable and many more. And yes I used on two-digit fields to store the year because back then there was so little memory (due to extremely high costs) on the mainframe computers that you spent hours shrinking programs down to as small as possible to run in the machine. There was no "New World Order Conspiracy." It was necessity. But relative to 9/9/99 being the so-called "acid-test" as to whether Y2K will really be a problem - hog wash!

Yes, I sometimes inserted all "9's in to a record when sorting the input so I would know when I got to end-of-input, but the possibility of the date September 9, 1999 causing a pre-mature end-of-input event is non-existent. One reason is September 9, 1999 is not stored as "9999", it is stored as "090999" in Gregorian date format and as "99252" in Julian date format - hardly all '9's, and even it the date were all '9s', that would have to be the field I was checking to tell me "end-of-input." - highly unlikely.

As far as embedded chips, I cannot imagine it being a problem. I can punch up all '9's on my Texas Instrument Calculator and it doesn't power off. Embedded chips are used in real-time applications and do not read batch input files.

The bottom line is September 9, 1999, is a non-event and it is not an acid-test for Y2K, so when nothing fails, do not be lulled to sleep that nothing will happen on 1/1/2000 - that remains to be seen.

However, I do find it interesting that there is a national power-grid test scheduled for 9/9/99. If problems are encountered, no doubt, 9/9/99 will be blamed. Not!

A Biblical response to all such coming perils is in order and that is to recognize that a wise man sees danger coming and makes provision, but a fool ignores it and suffers loss. Make some reasonable preparations so your family can survive in the event of Y2K problems and then get on with your life - including the Lord's work of bringing in the harvest. In fact, Y2K failures may present one of the greatest opportunities for soul-winning in the history of the world. I remember watching the floods in the Mid-West a few years ago and people who had lost everything, were giving God thanks and the glory because their lives had been spared. When the heat is turned up, one's priorities always shift and God percolates to the top of the list.

Wouldn't it be a wonderful witness if you or your church could offer your neighbors heat, food and water. What an opportunity to share the "Bread of Life."

If nothing happens with Y2K, hold on, judgements are being unleashed now with increasing frequency and intensity, you'll need your provisions in the months ahead.

Remember, if you do not seek the Lord in the good times, He may not even hear your prayers in the bad times.

"And I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,' says the LORD of hosts." (Hag 2:7)

Ezekiel 38, Y2K and the Rapture

Source: Yacov Rambsel

Yacov Rambsel has made some incredible discoveries via the Bible Codes. For those not familiar with this concept, the Rabbi's had a saying with regard to the Word of God. They would say that you can never fully understand the Bible until Messiah comes and when Messiah comes, he would interpret every book, every paragrah, every sentence, every word, every letter, and even the spaces between the words.

With the advent of computers, the Hebrew text can be loaded into an array and then by picking an arbitrary starting point in the text and skipping letters and spaces at equal intervals (ELS - Equidistant Letter Sequences) you may find woven throughout the text messages that appear. One of Yacov's discoveries was the name of Yeshua woven over and over again throughout the text of Isaiah 53. When Jesus said the whole of the Book is written of Me, there may have been a depth to that statement that we are only now being able to fathom, thanks to computers.

In this analysis, Yacov, has found references to Y2K computer failures and the rapture within the text of Ezekiel 38. It may be that the Holy Spirit is telling us that all three of these events are somehow wrapped up together.

Be sure to read "A Clear and Present Danger" on the web site and explore the other references listed in that article. If you are diligent in your study and seek the Holy Spirit of Truth, you will most assuredly have a new appreciation for the shortness of time before the Lord's return.

May you all continue to make your salvation sure as we labor together to be profitable servants in the God's kingdom.

Luke 21:36,

=================

A WORD OF PROPHECY by Yacov Rambsel Bible Code Research within Ezekiel 38.

Ezekiel 38:1-4; And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Mechech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.

This is a prophecy which refers to Russia and could be fulfilled in the very last days of this year or the beginning of the next year.

One of my main thoughts on this invasion is that it could occur around the time of the year 2000. Many centuries ago, Ezekiel, while writing this book, was moved by the Holy Spirit to write the exact words of Hebrew for this prophecy. With His sovereign power and precision of planning, God controlled Ezekiel's input and thoughts within this prophecy.

Amazingly, throughout the Old Testament (First Covenant), God has encoded startling, prophetic information within His precise and beautiful Hebrew language. He does this through letter-skip intervals of equal distances; this is called ELS, or equidistant-letter sequence. Could the insight above in those verses of Scripture relate to the upcoming Y2K computer glitch?

Let us examine them through the glorious eyes of the Holy Spirit (Ruach haKodesh).

Ezekiel 38:4; Starting with the fourth letter in the third word, counting forward every 58th letter spells, blemished computer ruin; mum machaiv ai yu bvjm Ezekiel 38:3; Starting with the first letter in the ninth word, counting in reverse every 58th letter spells, Rapture; natzal lxn. Is it possible that the Rapture of the believers is associated with the Y2K and computer failure? [and the Ezekiel 38 invasion of Israel and judgement on America - added by Vince].
