Denial

There were those who pretended they didn't know Y'shua after he had been captured and sentenced to death. They didn't want to end up being thrown in jail themselves, or killed. When asked, they denied knowing him.

In the end times scenario folks will be reporting perceived 'believers' to the authorities to save their own skin, whether they are Christian or Jewish or Mormon etc.... because by then the Image of the Beast will be the god folks are commanded to worship, bow down to or die. There will be 'believers' who will worship the beast in order to save their own lives. This includes 'taking the mark' in order to buy or sell.

If we truly are Set Apart Believers we must resist temptation in order for the devil to flee from us. It has been foretold that some of us will go to jail and be tormented ten days before being executed. Some of us will go to war against this final world system and die on the battle field. Some of us will perish because of the plagues that scourge the earth. Then there will be those who flee, head for the hills and are protected in the wilderness for those final three and a half years.  Whichever group we end up in it will be by our faith in Yahweh, the One True Elohim that we will be able to endure until the return of Yahshua, whether dead or alive.

The truth of His Instructions found in Scriptures is what gives the understanding we need in order to endure until the end. Yes folks, there is a dooms day yet to play out and the doom and gloom will be for anyone who rejects Yahweh as the Creator and denies the existence or purpose of His Son Yahshua.

There have been famines, wars and rumors of wars going on for a long time. Nations and kingdoms have risen up and fought each other as the years go by. There have been plagues and diseases then as well as now. The only thing different is that all these 'signs' have been getting worse, like labor pains which begin with a twinge now and again, becoming closer together and building in intensity as time goes by. Things are bad now, and will get worse. 

Through all that is yet to come, we must continue to stand strong in our faith in the Creator and not be afraid to share the Good News of the Kingdom to Come and not be deniers of Y'shua as the Son of our heavenly Father.

What Would YOU Do?

The Kingdom of Heaven is Near

If you knew the 'end of the world as we know it' would arrive in, oh, say the year 2055, what would you do to prepare? Would you do anything? Do you care? I suppose the answer would depend on your belief system or lack of belief. If you knew you could choose life after this life, would you pursue it? Would you seek out information on how to go about achieving this? Or would you choose to just wing it, go with the flow and wait to see what happens? Would you be concerned about what would happen to your children, parents, family and friends?

I am guessing that the majority of people who read this blog have heard about Scriptures as in Old and New Testaments, and have some knowledge about the events that are to take place at the end of days leading up to Judgment Day, even if some of this awareness has been learned from the movies. Most of us are familiar with the phrase, "Repent for the end is near!" Repent means to turn from sin. When you turn from sin you turn towards our Elohim/God, Yahweh. 'The end is near' has been a warning to people for thousand of years, so it's easy to see why many are indifferent or don't concern themselves with it because they don't think it could happen in their life time.

Lets say it does happen in our life time. Lets say several events that are unfolding in this day and age mimic events foretold by scriptures. People who study Scriptures are lining up current events with prophecy with accuracy. Key elements are being confirmed. Believers are on high alert, waiting for specific signs as told by Y'shua that are yet to be fulfilled. When this happens, the final time line begins and we will know there are seven years left until the end is finally here and the Thousand Year Reign of Y'Shua on earth begins.

If you don't believe in YHWH (Yahweh) Elohim (God) our Creator then none of this really matters. Yet He is giving the Gentiles (pagan, non believers) every opportunity to get on board. If you're not on board you'll find yourself in that lake of fire, for eternity. There will be and is a lot of deception going on. If you haven't prepared for the times to come, how will you know what to do and who to trust?

Just something to think about... and I pray you do.

Artificial Intelligence

As you know, I like to keep an eye on the current events that may relate to prophecy in regards to what to expect when the end times roll around.  Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is proving to be one of the key players along with the UN and the Pope in pulling the wool further over the eyes of those who will be destroyed for lack of knowledge. I really was out of touch with how far advanced these technologies have become and the plans 'they' have for humanity.

I was recently made aware of something called the '2045 Initiative'.  They have a website by the same name and the gist of this 'initiative' is to help humans 'evolve' by way of these advanced technologies. They are mixing and mingling humans with machines.  This smacks of the same scenario when the divine beings left their stations in the heavenlies to mix and mingle with human women. This genetic manipulation resulted in the Nephilim. Also, this mixing and mingling is mentioned in a particular end times prophecy recorded in the book of Daniel:

2:43 ~ You saw iron mixed with common clay; that means: they shall intermingle with the offspring of men, but shall not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay. In the time of those kings, YHWH will establish a kingdom that shall never be destroyed nor transferred to another people. It will crush and wipe out all these kingdoms and itself shall last forever, just as the stone hewn from the mountain, not by hands, crushed the iron, bronze, clay, silver and gold.

Make a note, in verse 43, "they shall intermingle with the offspring of men".

Nebuchadnezzar was shown this future event in a dream. Who are 'they'? Non-humans? Trans-humans? Demon-spirits posing as extraterrestrials? One thing is certain; when this time arrives we can expect the soon return of Y'shua who will wipe out all existing government systems and rule his Kingdom on this earth for a thousand years.

Y'shua tells us it will be like the days of Noah, preceding his return. Folks back then were living life as usual, eating, drinking, getting married, raising families, and ignoring the reason Noah and his family were preparing as they obeyed the instructions given by Elohim. The Nephilim walked the earth, too, back then and evil had permeated the earth. Those other folk kept on keepin' on right up until the Noah Family entered the ark. The others did not know until the flood hit and took them. It was too late to be saved, too late to enter the ark. This is why we are told the signs before the return of Messiah, so we will prepare before it's too late to be saved from the coming flood of Wrath from Elohim, which is contained in the final 7 Bowls of Plagues.

The purpose of The Flood was to cleanse the earth from all unrighteousness, from all sin, from all godlessness and from all the uncleanness which is committed on it. The Nephilim were the degenerate genetically manipulated product of divine beings and human women, not part of Yah's creation nor made in His image.  Can you relate that to the transhuman  immortal mindset of today? Evil does prevail in our world just as it did during the time of Noah. Just as it did in Sodom and Gomorrah. These are signs to watch for.

Here is a list of topics 'they' are pursuing that I copied from a website called 'GF2045' which is linked to the 2045 Initiative site:

• Project Avatar, Android robotics, Anthropomorphic telepresence, Neuroscience, Mind theory, Neuroengineering, Brain-Computer Interfaces, Neuroprosthetics, Neurotransplantation, Long-range forecasting, Future evolution strategy, Evolutionary transhumanism, Ethics, Bionic prostheses, Cybernetic life-extension, Mid-century Singularity, Neo-humanity, Meta-intelligence, Cybernetic immortality, Consciousness, Spiritual development, Science and Spirituality.

This sounds like the good-old Eastern mystical New Age pagan religious hogwash hopped up on steroids! Just by reading the 'headlines' on their homepage brought tears to my eyes - they blatantly seek immortality as if it were the next 'natural' phase of mankind. If anyone thinks for a moment that any of this is a 'good thing', you best pick up Scriptures and start reading again, from the beginning. These folks have gone beyond dabbling and are fully immersed in the 'mixing and mingling' we've been warned about throughout Scriptures, and nothing good comes from it.  Yet, as we see this man-made reality merge into the foreground of life, we are reminded to comfort one another: our Hope is in the Good News of His Kingdom to come!  Rest assured, these things must happen as Y'shua said.

Daniel 12:4 - But you Daniel, keep the words secret and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will range far and wide and knowledge will increase.

Daniel heard but did not understand. He was told that these words are secret and sealed unto the time of the end. And here's what most folks overlook:

4:10 - Many will be purified, purged and refined; the wicked will act wickedly and none of the wicked will understand; but the knowledgeable will understand.

Even if we have gained knowledge not all will understand the impact or implications of said knowledge. Those who have been purified, purged and refined will understand. While it is true that the vast majority of the world will be without Yahweh and without hope when Y'shua returns, it is written also that many people will understand, prepare, and be ready.

• Purify: to clear from material defilement or imperfection; to free from guilt or moral blemish; to free from undesirable elements
• Purge: to free from moral or ceremonial defilement
• Refine: free from impurities

We are freed from guilt by accepting the shed blood of Y'shua committing ourselves to the renewed covenant. We follow Y'shua as we walk towards perfection, removing materialism and other impurities from the path. We choose to love and obey the Creator which frees us from undesirable elements, ceremonial defilement. We, in this process, become 'knowledgeable' and gain understanding.

Lets get back to today's technology and prophecy. Our fellow Set Apart Believers of days-gone-by had no idea of the technology we'd find ourselves with, which is why the dreams and visions we read about seem so 'unimaginable' (those long haired demon scorpion-tailed locust from the pit for one example). They were using their terminology to describe visions and events that occur in our time. Until we can connect all the dots we operate mostly on speculation which leads many of us further down that rabbit trail - but part of that is the learning process.  I believe this helps describe why we are to search for YHWH as if looking for treasure.  The more we seek the more His Spirit reveals the truth of the matter, and more of us are retrieved from said rabbit trail and replaced firmly on His Path.

Quote: ... the three major steps of 2045 Avatar Project. First, the creation of a human-like robot dubbed “Avatar A,” and a state-of-the-art brain-computer interface system to link the mind with it. Next, it be created a life support system for the human brain, which connects to the “Avatar A,” turning into “Avatar B.” The third step, named “Avatar C”, is developing an artificial brain in which to transfer one’s individual consciousness with the goal of achieving cybernetic immortality.  Creating the “Avatar C” through developing an artificial brain and understanding the nature of human consciousness, says the Dalai Lama, could be attainable, and would be a great benefit to future development of science. (end quote)

Does 'image of the beast' come to mind for any of you? We read of the second beast that comes out of the earth. This beast will appear to us as as a spiritual leader but ends up speaking for Satan, the Dragon. He has all the authority as the first beast (he is government sponsored) and will perform great signs, even to bring fire down from heaven to earth (he has a demonic spirit working in him). This false prophet/religious leader will convince people to make an image, a statue, of the first beast. After they do, this religious leader will appear to have given life to the Image and command all to worship it. Those who refuse will be killed. It is during this time that the Law to be Marked (in order to buy or sell, conduct commerce) will be enforced. Everyone will be required to have this mark (forbidden by Elohim) on their right hand or upon their forehead in order to shop or sell goods (groceries, gas, clothing, pay bills etc...)

Revelation 12:7 And there was a war in heaven: Michael and his messengers fought against the dragon... the old serpent who is called the Deceiver and Satan, who seduces all the inhabited world...

This image appears to come to life and we will be commanded to bow down to it, submit and obey this thing. For fear of losing ones life, many will submit. Woe to them who worship the beast. Could this transference of 'self' into the image of the beast account for the deadly head wound mentioned in Revelation 13:3? It seems a possibility taking into consideration advanced technology and the intentions noted in the above two websites. 

Keep the story of Job in mind as well, while considering the end time scenario. Job had everything he needed and more because of his faith in YHWH. Satan was allowed to test Job and it was just horrible, to the point Job wished he had never been born. Yet he did not turn his back on YHWH. In the end Yah restored health and wealth to Job - a reward for his faith in Elohim - the gift of life for his soul. 

Satan is called the Dragon. The Dragon is in the world now and is behind the final world system taking shape: both government and religion. Similar events that befell Job will befall us in the end times and the final world system will be a big test for all of us. If we go along with it, believing Science instead of YHWH; yearning for immortality and the promises of men; worship the Image, take its mark etc... we essentially turn our backs on Elohim and fail. If we moan and groan and cry and wish we'd never been born yet keep our faith in the one true living Elohim, He will sustain us and restore all things. Then we receive the gift - the life of our soul. No matter when and how this all comes about, we must stand strong in our Faith and Endure until the End.

If 'they' think they are going to achieve immortality all by themselves, they are woefully wrong. In John 17:2 we read that YHWH gave His Son authority over all flesh, that he can give life eternal and not some cyborg-like transhuman using computer technology to transfer ones brain into a robot in order to live life forever, in the here and now.  The series 'Altered Carbon' was about rich folks who could afford to have clones of themselves and a computer type device that could be removed from one clone and placed into the next one as needed. The original human would age and eventually die, but live on 'artificially'. The transferable device contained the thoughts, memories and personality traits of the origin human (ie: the brain) thus 'immortality' was achieved.  But in Scriptures it is stated we will become incorruptible, not immortal, so that we may enter the promised land. That is, our physical state will be changed into a spiritual essence, like the angels.  I admit I need to do more study on that topic, but the point I am making is: according to our Creator there is eternity for us albeit some will spend that time in Fire Lake.

Malignant and painful sores break out upon those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.  This tells me placing or inserting any foreign object onto or into our bodies is not a good nor healthy thing to do, and will become so very apparent come that day.  

Evil, wicked, unclean, demonic spirits do exist in this world and are passing themselves off as extraterrestrial lifeforms channeling enlightenment to anyone who will tune in. These are the 'Nephilim' of today. Not necessarily the physical giants of old testament days but definitely beings of renown who many consider 'heroes', expecting ET to save us from ourselves.  Or, how about an evolved human to blind us with science and a twisted view of spirituality.  Who could make war against such a being?

Artificial Intelligence... yep, Satan has a counterfeit for everything YHWH put forth.

144,000 First Fruits

In Revelation 7 we read about the vision, the sealing of the 144,000 (servants of Elohim from the 12 tribes) which happens after the 6th seal has been opened. The Messengers were commanded not to hurt the earth and the sea, nor the trees until they have sealed the servants of Elohim upon their foreheads. 

As Y'shua was the first fruits of the dead, the 144,000 are the first fruits of the living. Revelation 14 tells us they have been redeemed by Y'shua from among men, the first fruits to Elohim and the Lamb:  they are without fault; have not been defiled by (women) aka: the "harlot and her daughters" = Gnosticism; false traditions; anti-Torah values; paganism - all which has infiltrated the various religions of today.

When we get to Revelation 9 we are told of Woe #1, when the 5th shofar is sounded and the pit is opened, releasing the demon locust. They have been commanded not to hurt the grass of the earth nor any herb, nor any tree, but only to torment the persons who had not been sealed with the seal of Elohim upon their foreheads. When did the remaining believers become sealed? 

The 144,000 are the designated first fruits in the end times scenario, the first of the harvest of all His Set Apart believers. The remaining yet to be sealed in their foreheads happens after the 144,000 are sealed. John records that after those things he saw a great multitude from all kindreds, peoples, tribes and nationalities, crying "Salvation to our Elohim to him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb." These are they who have come out of great affliction and washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb (All Set Apart believers). The rest were sealed during the time period between the opening of the 6th Seal, after the 144,000 were sealed, and before the 5th trumpet is sounded... before the final harvest of the earth  begins.

Ephesians 4:22 ~ You have learned that you should lay aside your former ways which corrupted you with desires in falsehoods; and that you should be renewed in the spirit of your minds; and put on the new man that is created by Elohim in righteousness and in the separateness of truth. Therefore, put away from you lying and speak the truth, for we are members one of another by His Spirit. Be angry but do not sin. Do not let the sun go down upon your wrath. And give no place to the Accuser (Satan). And those who stole, steal no more; but let him use his hands to work, and do good acts that he may have plenty in order to give to those in need. Let no hateful language be heard from you, but only that which is beautiful and useful for edification that it may convey grace to those who hear you speak. 30 And do not grieve the Set Apart Spirit of Yahweh whereby you are sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and danger and wrath and clamoring and reviling be taken from you along with all malice: Be caring towards one another and sympathetic, and forgive one another as Elohim by the Mashiyach has forgiven us.


Salvation is The Way in allowing His Spirit to seal us as we become a new creation in righteousness. We become renewed "in the spirit of our minds" aka: sealed in our foreheads.

What in Nibiru is Going On?

Back in my 'new age' days is when I first heard about the Anunnaki and Nibiru (among other things).  I was a believer in UFOs and ETs - I grew up loving science fiction which fueled my imagination - and blinded me to the truth. It was so easy to believe that life on other planets would be much more intelligent and advanced than here on earth. We've been brainwashed to believe we are inferior. We want superhuman everything for ourselves and, by setting God aside, we are free to believe anything is possible - and then pursue it in any manner that pleases us, which only leads us further from the truth.

To bring you up to speed (in case you've never heard of this) here is a wiki link with the origins of the topic of Nibiru (Planet X aka Marduk) as well as the 'pole shift' idea which some like to tie-in with cataclysmic end of the world scenarios. You can scroll down to the bottom of the wikipedia page to find the list of sources to research further for yourself:

NIBIRU

POLE SHIFT

Here's a couple of links for scientific info regarding the poles:

GEOMAGNETIC POLES

WANDERING POLE

This study is about relating current events to the end of days prophecies in order to discover whether or not Planet X or the Anunnaki fit in. This study deals primarily with the days prior to the return of Y'shua as recorded in Matthew 24 and Revelation and what occurs before his earthly kingdom is put in place. There are discernible events yet to happen which will clue in those of us who are watching and waiting. We are told if we are awake, alert and aware, we will be able to know the hour our Master is to return. YHWH has not left us in the dark! If we choose to follow the Light of the World - Messiah - Truth will be revealed. Please read Scriptures for more details, including Daniel 9:27, 11:31, 12:11 and Joel 2:2. Also refer to my other study: 

SIGNS

To the best of my knowledge there are two people who have brought the topic of a 12th planet to popularity. Zechariah Sitchin, "a Russian-born American author of books proposing an explanation for human origins involving ancient astronauts" and "Nancy Lieder, a contactee, claims to be in telepathic communication with visitors from Zeta Reticuli. The Zetas reveal to Nancy information about life on other worlds; the ET origins of the human species; the origins of the pyramids and the Sphinx; the Zeta Reticuli people and their nature, the Nibiruans from the 12th Planet and its imminent return...". 

Are these just a couple of twisted views, bad interpretations, mixing and mingling with Scriptures, distorting what YHWH says will happen? Don't forget that Satan is the father of lies and the author of deception. He causes man to doubt the Word of God, just as he caused Eve to doubt His instructions given back in the Garden days. Satan has contrived counterfeits for almost everything, including demons masquerading as intelligent life from another world, in order to cause us to doubt .

Today I stand firmly on the foundation of Truth supplied by YHWH Elohim and am learning to view all things from His perspective. It is from there I continue my studies and in my research about ETs I have come to realize that there is no such thing as advanced civilizations on other planets but there are demons, evil spirits left over from the Nephilim on this planet and in the spiritual realm. We are given a warning, many times, about being deceived. So if one does not believe in YHWH our Father in Heaven or know what has been written in Scriptures, then one would be free to entertain any other end of the world scenario. That makes sense.  But if you study Scriptures you'll see the Big Picture and not fall for the strong delusion that has been brewing.  I do not dismiss the fact that many things about outer space are unknown.  I am, however, of the mind that when YHWH put an end to the building of the Tower of Babel and scattered those people, He sent a message to everyone - earth is home, not the space beyond the visible sky. Don't even think about trying to go there.

Make no mistake: there will be an end to this world as we know it which includes horrible death and destruction. We read of several events, recorded in Scriptures, that take place prior to 'the end' of the world. Yah told us the end from the beginning so that His People could be prepared to enter His Kingdom and not perish. Do not become one of those who are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Lets move along.

If we are in the time line known as 'The Beginnings of Sorrows', as I believe we are, then Seals 1 through 4 have been opened - Seal 5 is in the process of being opened (as recorded in Revelation 6 and compared with Matthew 24 - see my study Signs). The opening of Seal 6 sets off quite a bit of activity- so much so everyone on earth knows the day of wrath has come, there's no mistaking it for anything else. By the time we get to Seal 7 the stage has been set for the Seven Shofars (trumpets) to be sounded (Revelation 8). They signal the following events:

1. Hail and fire mingled with water fall upon the earth and burns up 1/3 of the earth along with 1/3 the trees and all green grass. 
2. Something that looks like a big mountain burning with fire falls into the sea and causes 1/3 of the sea to turn to blood; a third of sea life is destroyed and 1/3 the ships are destroyed. 
3. A star burning like a lamp falls from heaven and affects a third of the rivers and fountains of water. This star is called Wormwood because 1/3 of the waters became wormwood and many people die from drinking these bitter waters. 
4. A third of the sun is smitten, and the moon and the stars so that both day and night are 1/3 darker. An eagle said in a loud voice, "Woe, woe to those who live on the earth because of the remaining trumpets to be sounded. 
5. A he-star falls from heaven to earth and has the key of the pit of the abyss, which he opens and our pours smoke as if from a blast furnace. Here is where we get those pesky locust-scorpions-long haired war horses with lion's teeth and iron breastplates which torment those who do not have the Seal of Elohim upon their foreheads for five months. The king of these pests is the Messenger of the Abyss (the angel/he-star that fell from heaven) whose Hebrew name is Abaddon whom the Greek call Apollyon. 
6. The four angels who were bound at the Euphrates are set loose to kill 1/3 of mankind using 3 plagues: Fire, smoke and sulfur. These four angels are overlords to the two million man army of warrior horsemen who go forth to destroy 1/3 mankind. 

Note is made about a remnant of men not slain by these plagues but yet they refused to repent of their worship of demons and idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood (false gods which cannot see or hear) nor do they repent of their murders, sorceries, sexual sins and thefts.

Seven Thunders speak but we will not know what they said until the 7th Messenger sounds his shofar. Then the mystery of Elohim will be consummated. John is told to eat the 'little book' because he will once again prophecy to many nations and peoples and princes and kings, which makes me think he may be one of the two end times witnesses. Revelation 11 tells us about that event. After the Two Witness event is when the 7th messenger sounds his trumpet, signaling the world has now become the Kingdom of Elohim and His Anointed One, Y'shua. 

Revelation 11:18

And the nations were angry, and Your anger is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that You should give a reward to your servants- the prophets and the Set Apart believers and to them that fear Your Name, the small and the great, and that You should destroy them who destroyed the earth.

Notice he states it is "them" who destroyed the earth and there is no indication of a planetary event or reverse pole shift causing disaster. We've got a burning mountain that falls into the sea (perhaps a meteor), an interesting blend of hail, fire and water falling on the earth (possible result from on-going assorted weather manipulation including chemtrails and HAARP activity), a star "burning like a lamp" (perhaps a comet or maybe a missile or bomb) that falls to earth and affects fresh water sources causing them to be poisonous, and then, the sun is 'smitten' causing it and the the moon and stars to grow dim by 1/3 their usual light. Question here would be what smote the sun? These things happen before the attack of the locust from the pit and the fire-smoke-sulfur war against mankind - none of which appear related to a 12th planet or a cataclysmic magnetic pole shift.

The 'disasters' that will happened affect only 1/3 the population of earth and 1/3 its natural resources. Things are not good but it is about to get worse. More political events take place on earth in regards to the final world government system, aka the Beasts: The final world leader and the charismatic false prophet who performs magic and even appears to bring fire down from heaven. He seduces people to make an image of that final world leader and causes the image to come to life.  If anyone refuses to worship this image they will be killed.

Then, the 7th Shofar is sounded. The earth is ready for harvest. Set Apart believers are removed from the earth temporarily for if their time was not shortened they would not be able to witness, understand and survive the heart breaking destruction to come, the final 7 cups of Wrath, which are:

1. Malignant and painful sores upon those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. 
2. The remaining 2/3 of the sea and all sea life dies. 
3. The remaining rivers and fresh water supplies become blood. 
4. The sun scorches men with great heat but they do not repent 
5. The existing world kingdom turns to darkness and those who belong to it suffer pain and ulcers 
6. The Euphrates dries up so that kings from the east may cross. Demons that look like frogs leap from the mouths of the false prophet and the beast of prey and the mouth of the dragon. These spirits of demons go forth to all the kings of all the habitable world to gather them to the battle in a place called Armageddon. 
7. It Is Done. There are flashes of lightning, and thunders, and voices and a great earthquake like nothing before. The great city becomes three parts, and the city of nations fall; Babylon the great was remembered. Every island fled away and the mountains disappeared. A great hail falls from heaven upon men and the men blaspheme Elohim. 

Still no reference to a planet being responsible for cataclysmic destruction, but Y'shua haMashiyach does return, as written, as prophesied, as promised.  Set Apart believers will be protected during this time as they have been gathered up into the clouds, changed from corruptible to incorruptible beings, prepared to be placed on their soil, the promised land as per Yah's covenant with Abraham.  The wheat has been separated from the tares; the sheep from the goats.  The meek inherit the earth and the wicked are destroyed.

Revelation 20:5- This is the first resurrection. Blessed and Set Apart is he that has part in this first resurrection; over them the second death has no dominion, but they will be and are priests of Elohim and of his Anointed One; and they will reign with him the thousand years.

Now that we are established in the Word of Elohim and have an idea of the foretold end time events, here is the 'scientific' view in regards to The 12th Planet aka: Planet X aka: Nibiru, also called Planet Nine.

Here is a quote from a NASA webpage:

Caltech researchers have found evidence suggesting there may be a "Planet X" deep in the solar system. This hypothetical Neptune-sized planet orbits our sun in a highly elongated orbit far beyond Pluto. The object, which the researchers have nicknamed "Planet Nine," could have a mass about 10 times that of Earth and orbit about 20 times farther from the sun on average than Neptune. It may take between 10,000 and 20,000 Earth years to make one full orbit around the sun. ---This is not, however, the detection or discovery of a new planet. It's too early to say with certainty there's a so-called Planet X.

I have to admit that while I try to share both sides of this 'story', I am totally amazed at what I am reading about this 'planet' that struck earth, destroying half of it and, by golly, that's how we got our moon.  See what happens if one does not put Yahweh first in all things?  Folks would rather believe the ancient Sumerians have all the answers:

"Where did the other half go? Why is Earth only half a planet? The diagrams shown here are descriptions from the Sumerians explaining how our Earth came to be... They state that the satellites of Planet X (Nibiru) as they called it, collided with our primitive Earth in the past. Creating the asteroid belt and forever becoming another member of our solar system in a comet like 3,600 year orbit around the sun"

In 2 Thessalonians 2:11, Yahweh lets us know there will be a 'strong delusion' and people will believe the lies.

2 Thessalonians 2:10- and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. For this reason, Yahweh will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie, in order that judgment will come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.…

Believing in aliens from outer space is just one of many wicked deceptions folks would rather be delighted with than the absolute truth from our Creator.  Remember that Satan is the father of lies and his weapon is 'deception'.  This is one of the reasons I emphasize that we stand firm in Faith and Trust our Creator to mean what He says as we research topics of contention.  If we have knowledge of Scriptures then His Set Apart Spirit will reveal the Truth of all things as long as we continue to seek Yahweh as if searching for treasure. Remember that Satan wants to be 'god' and will use the Word of the One True Elohim against us.  This will only succeed if we lack knowledge, and we will be destroyed because of it.

Is it possible that just as man has misinterpreted ancient Hebrew texts that he also has misinterpreted ancient Sumerian texts?

This study is in regards to the teachings of Mark Biltz and John Hagee in regards to the 'Blood Moons' of late. They were promoting prophecy and the imminent return of Y'shua, and used Joel 2:31 as their launch pad.   In the Tanakh there is no Joel 2:31, but there is Joel 3 which reads:

After that I will pour out My spirit on all flesh; your sons and daughters shall prophesy; your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. I will even pour out My spirit upon male and female slaves in those days.  Before the great and terrible day of YHWH Elohim comes, I will set portents in the sky and on earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke; the sun shall turn into darkness and the moon into blood. But everyone who invokes the Name of Elohim (YHWH) shall escape; for there shall be a remnant on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, as YHWH Elohim promised.  Anyone who invokes YHWH will be among the survivors.

Note: Before the sun goes dark and the moon turns red there are portents on the earth: blood, fire and pillars of smoke. Perhaps the blood, fire and smoke fills the air and causes the sun to darken and the moon appear red? What caused the fire? A *great earthquake* maybe?

Joel 2

Blow a horn in Zion, sound an alarm on My Set Apart mount! Let all dwellers on earth tremble, for the Day of YHWH has come! It is close - a day of darkness and gloom, a  day of densest cloud spread like soot over the hills. A vast, enormous horde - nothing like it has ever happened, and it shall never happen again through the years and ages. (The shofar/horn/trumpet is blown before the darkness and gloom*)

Note: Nothing like this has ever happened before and will not happen again - that pretty much rules out lunar eclipses as the cause of the moon turning 'blood red', because those, even the tetrads, have happened several times in the past and are calculated to occur again in the future. 

I do not deny that this prophecy most certainly concerns the end time events and the return of Y'shua haMashiyach, Son of Elohim,  but there are other signs which have been recorded that precede this scenario that have yet to occur.  Scripture does indeed interpret itself, so focusing on the lunar tetrads and trying to make something out of them that is not backed up by Scriptures can turn into a false teaching.  It's understandable, though, because these are exciting times we live in, but we must always study out events as they are written and not try to force the Word of God to fit current events.  It is important to keep Scripture in context so as not to spin a 'theory' out of control.  We have been warned against the imaginings of man. We have been told beforehand; given the facts, as it were.

In the book of Matthew, the disciples had asked Y'shua about the signs of the end and his return.  He spoke of several things and the suffering that will happen, then he said:

Matthew 24:29

And immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shine its light.  And the stars will fall from heaven and the powers of heaven will be shaken.  And then will be seen the sign of the Son of man in heaven... :31 And he will send his Messengers (angels) with a large trumpet (shofar/horn) and they will gather his chosen ones from the four winds from one end of heaven to the other. (*His Set Apart believers are rescued before the darkness and gloom)

Lets take a look at the writings in Revelation.

Revelation 6:12

And I looked when he had opened the sixth seal, and there was a *great earthquake*; and the sun became black, like sackcloth of hair; and the whole moon became like blood. and the stars of heaven fell on the earth...

The Sixth Seal has yet to be opened.  We are in the time frame known as The Beginning of Sorrows which I have studied out to be related to Seals 1 through 4, which have been opened. (See the link provided below: 'Signs')

The prophecy referred to in Joel, Matthew and Revelation is one and the same and has yet to happened.  They all report that this darkened sun and blood red moon happen before the great and glorious day of YHWH, which is when Y'shua is set to return.  But before that happens the one world united nations government system with its world leader will be in place.  The 3-1/2 years of peace and safety will have passed by and Satan will possess that final world leader to do abominations that cause desolation for the remaining 3-1/2 years.  The 'mark' will have been put in place in order to buy or sell... you get the picture.

Signs

These are the signs, told by Y'shua as recorded in Matthew 24, with my paraphrasing.  Y'shua Messiah is telling his disciples of the signs, the things that must happen before the end and his return. Please read scriptures for more details, including Daniel 9:27, 11:31, 12:11; Joel 2:2. 

Let no man deceive you. Many will claim to be the savior and many will they deceive. You will hear of revolutions, wars and rumors of war. Do not worry, these things must happen but it is not the end yet.
Nations and kingdoms will rise up against each other, fight each other. There will be famine, food shortages, plagues, diseases and earthquakes in various places. These are the beginning of sorrows.

(note: the above I see in current events representing Seals 1 through 4 as opened. Next is Seal 5 - the persecution of believers-  and I believe it is in the process of being opened)

Then we will be hated, delivered to afflictions and killed because we believe in Y'shua, Son of Elohim. Many stumble, hate each other and will report 'believers' to the authorities to save their own lives (betray one another).  Many false prophets arise and deceive many.  Because of the spread of wickedness, lawlessness, the love of many grows cold. BUT whoever has patience until the end, he will have life. And this Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all the nations - then the end will come.  

And when you see the sign of uncleanness (abomination) and desolation which will stand in the Set Apart place - those in Judea should flee to the mountains, do not hesitate or try to go back.  There's no time to pack a bag or a lunch! Time's up.

THEN there will be great suffering (tribulation) such as has not been before or will be again... And if those days were not shortened, not any flesh would live, but because of the chosen, those days will be shortened. 

Who are the 'chosen ones'? 

 
(note: the 'abomination' that enters the temple is the trigger point for the final 3-1/2 year time line).

Do not believe those who say they saw Y'shua (or Jesus) 'here or there', for false teachers/preachers/messiahs/prophets will produce signs and wonders in order to help with the deception, if possible even the chosen.  We are told beforehand so that we may recognize the times we are living in. Y'shua will be seen just as everyone sees the sun rise out of the east and it is seen even in the west, so shall the Son of God be seen.

Immediately after the suffering of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shine its light, and the stars will fall from heaven and the powers of heaven will be shaken.  Then will be seen the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and all the tribes of the land mourn when they see him who comes upon the clouds of heaven with great power and glory.  He sends his Messengers with a large trumpet (shofar) and they will gather his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other, the entire earth.

Y'shua tells us it will be like the days of Noah, preceding his return. Folks back then were living life as usual, eating, drinking, getting married, raising families, and ignoring the reason Noah and his family were preparing as they obeyed the instructions given by Elohim.  Those other folk kept on keepin' on right up until the Noah Family entered the ark.  The others did not know until the flood hit and took them.  It was too late to be saved, too late to enter the ark. This is why we are told the signs before the return of Messiah, so we will prepare before it's too late to be saved from the coming flood of Wrath from Elohim, which is contained in the final 7 Bowls of Plagues.  

The Seals of Revelation 6 relate to what Messiah has told his disciples as to the 'signs' of his return and the end of the world. It seem that the 'beginning of sorrows' are the opening of Seals 1 through 4 and these events seem pretty apparent in our day and age.  Seal 5 represents the 'persecution' of believers, those who are hated because of faith in Y'shua and YHWH. This is nothing new, but with the rise of Islam and increasing unrest in the mideast, we hear/see reports of hatred towards believers in YHWH more often, to the point of killing/beheading 'Christians' -- it seem as if Seal #5 is broken and in the stages of opening.  Seals 6 & 7 are yet to be broken.

Seal #1 
White horse being ridden by one who goes out to conquer (Wars and rumors of war)
Seal #2
Rider of the red horse carrying a great sword, takes peace from the earth causing people kill one another 
(Nations and kingdoms will rise up against each other, fight each other.)
Seal #3
The rider of the black horse carries a balance, the price of food goes up and the oil wine (luxury items) are protected. 
(There will be famine, food shortages,)
Seal #4
Pale horse whose rider is Death and is followed by the grave.  He has authority over a quarter of the world's population to kill by wars, famine, death and wild beasts. 
(plagues, diseases and earthquakes in various places.)
Seal #5
Under the altar are seen the souls of them who were slain on account of the Word of Elohim and on account of the testimony to the Lamb which was with them.  They cry out asking YHWH how much longer will it take before He judges and avenges their blood.  He tells them to be quiet yet a little while until the consummation of their fellow servants and Brothers who were to be killed as they had been.
Seal #6
The opening of this seal causes a great earthquake and the sun became black like sackcloth and the whole moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell on the earth as a fig tree  casts its unripe figs.  The heavens separate as a scroll is rolled up and all mountains and islands were moved out of their places. All the kings, nobles and captains, rich men, men of valor and every servant and free man hide for they know the day of their wrath is come and who is able to stand?  

It is still during this 6th Seal time frame that the four angels/Messengers held the four winds and another Messenger had the seal of Elohim to seal the servant of Elohim upon their foreheads - 144,000 = 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel = the first fruits of the harvest of the earth.  There is a lot of preparations made before Seal 7 which trigger the 7 Shofars Event.

Seal #7
When this seal is opened there will be silence in heaven for about a half hour... the 7 Messengers will each be given a shofar. Fire from the altar will be cast upon the earth which causes thunders, flashes of lightning and voices and an earthquake.  The 7 Messengers prepare to sound their shofars.

Set Apart Believers will still be on this earth during the sounding of the seven shofars. Yes, we go through 3-1/2 years of Satan's insanity but we are gathered up with Y'shua at that 7th Shofar!  That's another study in and of itself.  Also, don't be confused and misled by the popular phrase, "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", instead, just ignore it. To the best of my knowledge a horse is symbolic for power and each of those seals represent powerful events as well as aspects of ungodliness which lead up to Satan the Anti-Messiah taking charge.

We have been invited to the wedding feast. We better have enough lamp oil so we can patiently wait for the coming Bride Groom else we leave and the doors to the banquet room are shut and locked before we get back. (Matthew 25)

Armageddon

You have more than likely heard the term “Armageddon”  used by news reporters or have read it in the headlines.  Some people think Armageddon means the end of the world, and it does, in a way.  I want to share with you a little research I have done in regards to prophecy and current events. There is a Damascus, Syria prophecy (Isaiah 17) and an Egypt prophecy (Isaiah 19) that look like what is going on today.  When Damascus ends up in a heap of ruins and ceases to be a city you’ll know that this particular prophecy has been fulfilled.

There will be a final 7 year time period (of life as we know it) that will begin when a rich political figure/world leader makes a "firm agreement with many". This is the guy referred to as the Antichrist and his 'peace treaty' that happens (Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24). The fighting will stop and the first 3-1/2 years will seem peaceful and good.  At the midway point is when Satan takes full possession of this world leader, puts an end to all that seemed good and goes after (to kill) anyone who believes Jesus/Y’shua is the son of God, YHWH.  At the end of this 7 year period is when the battle at Meggido/Armageddon occurs.

It just so happens that the last battle at Meggido, Israel was during WWI when the Allied troops battled the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) which is an Islamic country.  That is another study to share at another time!

This coming battle at Meggido will happen after the 6th Cup of Wrath is poured out (Revelation 16:16). The beast/Antichrist and the kings of the earth assemble to battle against Y’shua, Messiah, who has returned with an army from heaven to claim his rightful kingdom on earth.  Messiah wins. The beast and false prophet are tossed into Fire Lake and Satan is bound in a chain and locked in the abyss for 1,000 years.  He will not be able to deceive mankind during this time. (Revelation 19:19)

It is the elect, the Set Apart Believers, who have been caught up in the air with Y’shua Messiah on a cloud just prior to the final 7 plagues. (1Thessalonians 4:16-17).  We are changed at the last trumpet - the last shofar of seven that are sounded by Angels of Elohim.  We will be here to witness the final 3-1/2 years leading up to The End but we will not be physically on earth to experience the Wrath of Elohim: the final 7 Plagues.

After Messiah and his army defeat Satan and his army, we will be planted on our soil (set back down after the cloud episode), in the promised land, the land of Canaan (the original boundaries that go beyond modern day Israel) where we will live with Y’shua as our King and High Priest for 1,000 years!

This is the condensed version of the end of this age as I just wanted to let you know the events that lead up to "Armageddon". 

If we love Yahweh, keep His Commandments and believe in His Son Y'shua, we won’t be on earth to experience the final 7 plagues, the Cups of His Wrath, but we will go through those trying times know as The Tribulation.

After the thousand years will be the battle of Gog of the land of Magog... stay tuned.

In That Day

Blessed are You, Yahweh Elohim, King of the universe, who sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to engross ourselves in the words of the Torah. 

I admit that I do fall short of engrossing myself in the words of the Torah but ask to be forgiven my weakness. I love Yahweh Elohim, King of the universe and strive to remember the sabbath and keep it Set Apart because He is Set Apart.

By reading Scriptures and including His Instructions for us in our daily affairs, we build a solid foundation on which to stand when we face adversity. For there are those who will hate us because we love Yahshua, son of Yahweh.

"The great day of Elohim is approaching, approaching most swiftly. Hark, the day of Yahweh Elohim! It is bitter"  (Zephaniah) 

That day will be bitter for those who do not call upon the Name above all names. It will be a day of sadness and joy for those of us who are still alive and bear witness to His Return. It is easy for me to visualize the anger of our Elohim- just look at the behavior of humans everywhere -lack of morality, love of self, materialism, just to name a few.

It is not easy to visualize His day of trouble and distress, calamity and desolation, darkness and deep gloom (Zephaniah) for those people who refuse to repent and return to Him. The fairness of Yahweh Elohim, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is evident even in these end times. He wants even the sinners of that day to Seek Him and to seek righteousness and humility. Even then they may find shelter on the day of His anger.

Our Elohim will cause all the false gods on earth to shrivel. In that day we shall no longer be ashamed for all the deeds by which we have defied Him because the follies of our youth He will not remember.

How I thank and give praise to Yahweh for His loving-kindness! For His patience to wait for me to turn to Him for salvation! I rejoice in His long suffering that we should All turn from our sins and embrace Him. Rejoice and be glad with all your heart all who have found peace in Y'shua as King of Kings. He is the Truth, the Light and the Way.
