What's Next?

 Israel is surrounded by enemies.

Psalm 83 

2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

I can't prove this is next, but the sequence follows naturally.

Isaiah 17

17 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

Damascus is already a mess, but people still live there, so this has not yet been fulfilled. Keep an eye on the news for this to happen.

Just a forecasting of the news - according to God.

Reference to The Wormwood Prophecy in the News

The Wormwood Prophecy

Having read The Wormwood Prophecy by Thomas Horn, I was more aware of possible warnings behind the news article that appeared today on my newsfeed.

MIT is researching a way to save earth from killer asteroids. The article even mentions Apophis.

The Wormwood Prophecy by Thomas Horn

The Wormwood Prophecy

Wow! This book kept me up for a couple of nights!

Tom Horn begins and ends his book with fictional chapters about the discovery of an asteroid's trajectory and the aftermath of global catastrophe. He is a master storyteller for sure.

Now on to the nonfictional part. 

There is an asteroid called Apophis that is headed in the direction of earth. It will arrive on Friday the 13th in April of 2029. The thing is large enough to do serious damage and most of the earth will face devastating results if it makes a direct impact.

NASA has is noted as a very near miss. They say it will pass the earth inside of the satellites that orbit the earth. That is too close for comfort.

Honestly, it depends on how you calculate the value of pi as to whether it flies by or wipes out significant portions of the world. 

Please read this book. You have some decisions to make in the next nine years. 

I would suggest that the best decision you can possibly make would be to make sure you accept Jesus as your Savior. 

Assuming that this is the "mountain" mentioned in the book of Revelation chapter 8, it will arrive after the Christians disappear. There's no telling what the people left behind will say to explain that, but we'll be in heaven partying while the earth completely falls apart.

Check out this prophecy remembering that "star" in Greek is "aster" from which we get asteroid.

The First Four Trumpets
…7Then the first angel sounded his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, along with a third of the trees and all the green grass. 8Then the second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood, 9a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. 10Then the third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star burning like a torch fell from heaven and landed on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter like wormwood oil, and many people died from the bitter waters.…

I have suggested a couple of other books so far with more to follow. All of them have to do with the End Times as revealed in the Bible. 

Some prophecies we are taking on faith without seeing their approach. This one is a known fact and documented on government websites. 

Take note and be ready. The Wormwood Prophecy by Thomas Horn

The Oracle: The Jubilean Mysteries Unveiled by Jonathan Cahn

The Oracle

Rabbi Jonathan Cahn always writes his books as fiction when most of the information in it is nonfiction. The writing is presented as one person narrating a story to another person. Inside this narration is the first person learning information from the Oracle. Sometimes you have to wonder which person is actually speaking.

The Oracle is a wise person in a mountainous desert region, possibly located somewhere in the Middle East. He is sought out by a man who had a vision and is seeking the meaning of what he saw.

As the seven doors of the vision are unlocked, each vision reveals a part of the history of the Jewish people, the kingdoms of the Middle East, and the Diaspora, and their return.

You hear about the Ottoman Empire, the Balfour Declaration, the Dead Sea scrolls, and many of the people who took part in the return of the Jews to their homeland.

For me, some of the most interesting tidbits were the meaning of the names of the people who took part in the grand scheme of events. The story of the Nazir was amazing. The people whose name meant "threshing floor" or "trumpet" who were at the exact place at the right time, and how many people named "lion" appeared at that exact moment in history.

The Jubilees occur every 50 years. They don't happen on years that end in zeroes, but rather on those that end in sevens. The most important recent Jubilees were in 1867, 1917, 1967, and 2017. 

Samuel Clemens visited the Holy Land on a cruise in 1867. He wrote The Innocents Abroad documenting what he saw as he toured the various countries. When he described Israel, he said he could scarcely find a tree and one could travel for hours without seeing a soul. He described the heat, the desolation, the wastelands that existed at that time. And all this fulfilled prophecy!

The Innocents Abroad

Perhaps my favorite parts of the book were the assigned Scripture portions read in synagogues around the world on each Sabbath. Only an all-knowing God could match the assigned portion with the events that occur on that day or during that specific week. Only an all-powerful God could orchestrate the movement of entire nations to fulfill the prophecies He had said would happen as many as 2500 years ago. 

The portion for the week that Mark Twain visited Jerusalem goes like this: 

"and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it; 

And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath..." - Deut. 29:22-23

I learned quite a bit from reading this book. I hope you will benefit from reading it also.

The Late Great Planet Earth

The Late Great Planet Earth

For me, this was the book that changed the course of my life.

I was born and raised Missouri Synod Lutheran. I attended a Lutheran elementary school, a public high school, and went on to Concordia Teachers College (now Concordia University) in River Forest, IL.

In that day, Lutherans did not buy into "the rapture of the church". We didn't look too carefully at Revelation or end times prophecy. If they have changed that, excellent. But it was frowned upon as being heretical at the time.

It felt sneaky and kind of dirty to read a book that proclaimed Bible prophecy was real. I was fascinated! I read my Bible with a different mindset and took it at its word. I read other writers who espoused Bible prophecy. Some used the Bible accurately, some didn't.

Edgar Whisenant was one who tried to set dates. His book 88 Reasons Why the Rapture Will Be in 1988 sold over 4.5 million copies. He must have missed the Bible verse that states: "No one knows the day or the hour." I will not be reviewing his book on this blog because it is not relevant.

In the last few days, I reread The Late Great Planet Earth. I assumed because it was so old (1970), that the information in it would be out of date.

The world has changed so much since then. New nations have come and gone. Borders have been redrawn a number of times. The Soviet Union is now Russia and various other countries. Nations that were once friendly to Israel are now threatening war with her.

How can a book that was written in the late 1960s still have any value?

Oddly enough, everything in the book still holds value. Hal Lindsey made a number of predictions - not in an Edgar Cayce kind of way - but his predictions were based on what the Bible says.

Every one of the statements he makes has been accomplished, in the works, or can be seen coming in the near future.

I was astounded!

There is no date-setting. There is nothing that Hal Lindsey made up out of his own head or from the news back in the day. What you can see is that the Bible prophecies he talked about are as current as today's news.

Therefore we can rely on the next steps in the process, the prophecies that have not yet appeared, to happen just as they have been occurring up to now.

Signs of the End Times

There is no doubt that we are in the End Times.

Jesus described what the last days would look like. You have only to switch on the news to see that current events come very close to what was foretold.

Also in these end times, there are many people who have declared themselves to be End Times prophets. Multitudes of books are in print about how close we are to the final days. Some are written telling the truth as best we know from this side of the events. Some are hogwash.

I am hoping to write a regular post about the contents of various books so you can make an informed decision as to whether it's worth your time to read.

Each book will have a link to the Amazon page where it is featured. These will be affiliate links that help fund the purchase of books that I am reviewing.

If you wish to go directly to the author's bookstore to purchase a copy from them, you are more than welcome. I believe God's people are worthy to receive the benefits of their labor.

If you have an interest in End Times events, please consider following my blog to see what we can gain by reading these books.

Godspeed...Maranatha
