ARE “UFO’S” IN THE BIBLE?

The Vision of the Chariot

1 In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. ² On the fifth day of the month (it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoi′achin), ³ the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chalde′ans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was upon him there. ⁴ As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out from the north, and a great cloud, with brightness round about it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming bronze. ⁵ And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the form of men,⁶ but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. ⁷ Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze. ⁸ Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus: ⁹ their wings touched one another; they went every one straight forward, without turning as they went. ¹⁰ As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man in front; the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had face of an ox on the left side and the four had the face of an eagle at the back. ¹¹ So was their faces, their wings was spread out above; each creature had two wings, each of which touched wing of another, while 2 covered their bodies. ¹² Each went straightforward wherever the spirit went they went without turning as they went. ¹³ In the midst of  the living creatures there was something looking like burning coals of fire, like torches moving to and fro. And among these living creatures the fire was bright, and out of fire went forth lightning.¹⁴  The living creatures move to and fro like the flash of lightning. ¹⁵ I looked at living creatures, saw a wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of 4 of them. 

¹⁶ Appearance of wheels constructions and their appearance was like gleaming of a chrysolite. So 4 had same likeness, their construction was wheel within a wheel. ¹⁷ When they went, they went in their four directions without turning as they went.¹⁸ The four wheels had rims and they had spokes; and their rims were full of eyes round about. ¹⁹ When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them when living creatures rose from earth wheels rose. ²⁰ Where the spirit would go, they went, and the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. ²¹ When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those rose from the earth, the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. ²² Over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of a firmament, shining like crystal, spread out above their heads. ²³ Under their firmament their wings stretched out straight toward others. Each creature had two wings covering body. ²⁴ When they went, I heard the sound of their wings like sound of many waters, like thunder of Almighty sound tumult like sound of a host; when they stood still they let down their wings. ²⁵ There came a voice from above the firmament over their heads; when they stood still, they let down their wings. ²⁶ Above the firmament over their heads the likeness of a throne appearing like sapphire and seated above likeness of a throne was a likeness of human form.²⁷ Upward from appearance of his loins was a gleaming bronze, like appearance of fire enclosed round about. Downward appearance of his loins was fire and brightness about him. ²⁸ Like the appearance of the bow is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. The appearance of the likeness is the GLORY of the LORD when I saw HIM I fell upon my face, and heard HIS voice of one speaking. Again in Ezekiel 8:6, is another encounter with a message from God to people on earth through Israel.

Son of man, do you see what they are doing … things that will drive Me far from My sanctuary?” (Ezekiel 8:6). Do you see? Do you want to see what drives God from His Dwelling Place? Do you want God to simply visit you? Or do you want to dwell with God? The idolatrous practices listed in Ezekiel 8:3-5, 9-12, 14, 16 originate in Babylon the Bible says are detestable to God. All 4 idolatrous practices have to do with pure worship of God. 4 most detestable practices in God’s Eyes drives HIM far from HIS Sanctuary. “So HE brought me into inner court of LORD’s HOUSE. There, at the door of the Temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward Temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping the sun toward the east in Ezekiel 8:16. The 25 men knew and loved the LORD; yet grievously bowed down and worshiped the sun. So God said their actions drive HIS PRESENCE from Temple. Scripture said 25 men in God’s Temple serve sun gods as heathen do across all cultures, to celebrate the sun gods on the ancient winter solstice the Roman shifted in Christian time. The Catholic Encyclopedia document Mithra Winter Festival. Constantine in Vatican built atop a hill Mithras cult worship of sun. History records a common practice in fifth century worshipers entering St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome to turn at door, put their backs to the altar, and bow to down to worship the rising sun. In the Old Testament history book of 2 Kings, Elijah was taken up to heaven. And the evidence that Elijah went up to heaven means Jews expect him to return. In 2 Kings 2:11-12 as they were walking and talking, suddenly chariot of fire appears drawn by horses of fire. Drove between the two men, separated them and Elijah was carried by whirlwind into heaven. 12  Elisha saw it so cried out “My father! My father! I see chariots and horsemen and they disappeared from sight. Elisha tore his clothes in distress but received mantle of Elijah to carry on his work so went to join the other prophets waiting. Since Elijah went alive into heaven Jews expect him to return to continue work of God so pray for his return daily. They leave wine on the table for Elijah during the Passover meals each week.

And Malachi 3:1 states Jesus said Look! I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me. The Lord you seek will suddenly come to His Temple. And the messenger of the covenant who you look for eagerly is surely coming,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. Matthew 11:9-10 says John is more than prophet so Scripture confirms messenger ahead of Jesus to prepare way before Jesus.’ In Malachi 4:5-6 God said Look I will send you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the LORD arrives. 6 His preaching will turn hearts of fathers to their children and hearts of children to their fathers. Otherwise I will come to strike the land with a curse.” Elijah was taken to heaven so never tasted death. In the end time before return of Jesus on earth, Elijah us expected in Israel to evangelise with 144,000 male Jewish virgins sealed by God. Matthew 17:10-13, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Why do teachers of the religious law insist Elijah must return before Messiah comes? 11 Jesus replied, Elijah is indeed coming first to get things ready for the Messiah. 12 Elijah lived and was not accepted by Baal idol god worshippers who threaten his life. In the same way they made Son of Man Jesus to suffer. 13 The disciples realized Jesus talked about John Baptist beheaded by King Herod, so Elijah will be beheaded when he returns to preach in Israel again during end times days. It will precede the Armageddon battle in Israel and the Millennial Reign of Jesus. And Jesus said John the Baptist was not Elijah but was a representation of him. Since both will meet same fate of abuse by those who reject Jesus literally they kill the messengers of Christ. But Elijah will arise in 3 days after death. Another fascinsting story is Enoch walked with God and is father of Methuselah at 300 years plus daughters in Genesis 5:22. Enoch listened to God, talked with God and obeyed God. Enoch enjoyed special relationship with God for he devoted his entire life faithfully to serving God. At 365 years old God said it was time for Enoch to leave earth to go to heaven so God took Enoch alive to heaven, Genesis 5:24. By faith Enoch was translated so did not die so pleased God in Hebrews 11:5. Enoch was taken in the whirlwind in golden chariot like Elijah to heaven.

As God’s chariot with rotating wheels visited Ezekiel so Enoch and Elijah rode God’s chariot alive into heaven so the Bible says there will be signs and wonders from God in heaven in the skies. God’s signs and wonders fulfill the end time prophecy warnings to alert mankind of imminent coming of Jesus in the cloud in rapture and in Second coming in the Millennial Reign. Some signs emit rays, fire, thunder, tsunamis etc. Others are to get world’s attention to look up to expect Jesus back. Like things of God, other spiritual forces in heavenly places mimics God’s great signs and wonders too. It is important to determine “UFO” from God as signs manifesting warnings in Bible in Matthew 24:29-30 and Luke 21:10 among other verses. And so these wheels in wheels Ezekiel saw and other chariot of fire Elijah rode into heaven is similar to various objects from God as promised for use as signs and wonders. Objects used for signs and wonders of God are seen by numerous people too. The special angels of God are created to represent symbols of messages given to Ezekiel. This special multiheaded angels with beasts had a specific meaning for Jewish people in exile to understand:

• There they bring God to Ezekiel
• To let them know it takes longtime
•  To bring message of hope to them
•  To point people to God to be saved

Bible gives answers to what is going on in the world at this time. In Matthew 24:3-14, Jesus gives us a description of our day:

And as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately saying, Tell us, when shall these things be and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world? Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name saying I am the Christ; and shall deceive many. And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars be not troubled for all these things must come to pass but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom: and shall be famines, and pestilences, earthquakes, in divers places. All these are beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and hate one another. Many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many. Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Those who endure to the end will be saved. So Gospel of God’s Kingdom is being preached in all the world for witness to all nations then the end will come in Matthew 24:3-14

This scripture tells us in the time Christ returns to earth these conditions will be happening. Jesus warns people against “deception” as the above scripture says some would do. This truth answers the questions in scriptures. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 says, “False apostles, and the deceitful workers, transform into the apostles of Christ so no marvel satan himself is transformed into angel of light. If his ministers transform into ministers of righteousness so their end is according to their works.” How can we protect ourselves from this sort of deception? The Bible tells us we must study the Bible to know what the Holy Scriptures tell us about this kind of thing and avoid it.

Jesus said, ‘Take heed you are not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draws near do not go after them.’ Luke 21:8 Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. Continue in things you learned, assured of, knowing you learned from childhood the Holy Scriptures, able to make you wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction in righteousness: That the man of God as believers may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:13-17 Know therefore before God Lord Jesus Christ shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and Rule His kingdom. 2 Timothy 4:1

If you study Scriptures you will know the LORD warns in Deuteronomy 4:19, “those who lift up eyes to heaven and see the sun, moon, stars, all the host of heaven so driven to worship and serve things, the LORD God put in nations under heavens sin against God.” Those looking into heavens for spaceships for answers to life need to seek the TRUE CREATOR God of heaven. Followers of Jesus, know if anyone says to you Lo here is Christ of is there do not believe. For there shall arise false Christs, false prophets showing great signs, wonders so much if its possible shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before if they shall say to you, Behold, He is in the desert; do not: behold, He is in secret chambers; believe it not. For as lightning comes out of the east, and shine in the west; so shall the coming of the Son of man be Matthew in 24:23-27. This Scripture tells us Jesus will RETURN to the earth to judge all people so that event is being prepared and heaven is watched for His return. He said this event occurs during a time of great deception in the earth so do not be deceived as His followers. 

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbid marriage, command to abstain from meats God created to be received with thanksgiving for those believe and know the truth. 1 Timothy 4:1-3

Jesus’ followers be aware some UFO are imagined things if watching too many science fiction movies. So some reports probably do fall under such a category or mental health. However, many who idolise the aliens and UFOs cannot be dismissed as oddballs, eccentrics. They are scientists, intellectuals, government leaders and astronauts. So what is these strange sightings invading the heavens and does the Bible give explanation for them? Natural or supernatural reports in news show unexplained sightings of strange manifestations. The origination is one or two of these sources: “natural” or the “supernatural.” If a source is in the natural it is explained by scientists or people responsible for occurrence. If the military do this in regard to crash of Roswell flying saucer with explanation of weather balloon and dummies falling from the sky. But the unexplained lights in the sky show up on radar as the lights over Phoenix, if no physical explanation found for phenomenon, assume dealing in the “supernatural” or spiritual realm. Realize all “supernatural” occurrences come from two sources: satan or God. In spiritual realm two kingdoms, satan or the devil’s kingdom and God’s Kingdom. Since satan is enemy of God, so tries to lead people into deception taking their attention to things not of God to ensnare their souls. Emphasis on UFOs or aliens extraterrestrial beings is a disguise for satan’s activities and demons. They are designed to lead people astray by tactic to blind people to Gospel of Jesus Christ, capture minds with new age philosophy incorporating belief in UFOs and aliens.

Demons Impersonating Aliens

Many science fiction movies over the years conditioned hearts and minds of this generation to accept demons as the aliens from outer space. So very young children view E.T. as a friend sets them up to accept demons as good entities instead of evil beings. No wonder they are deluded into believing they were good heavenly visitors. Star Trek and Star Wars, with a host of other science fiction movies, encourage interest in life in outer space, thus preparing a whole generation to accept UFOs and aliens. They should be taught to stand against deception that comes along with these movies and encouraged to understand the reality of a real heaven and hell. As Christian parents we should be careful about allowing children to view these sorts of movies as it prepares children early to accept the witchcraft and new age philosophy incorporated in such films. Most people see UFO objects or “little green men from mars” fail to realize what they see are not aliens from another planet but evil spirits disguised as aliens to lead people astray. The reason they see demons manifest is because they have in some way opened their spirit up to receive this deception. How can one do this? Those tampering with things of darkness satan’s domain becomes susceptible to satan, demons attacking or manifesting to them.

Witchcraft Can Cause UFO sightings

Many people who see extraterrestrial beings, involved in types of witchcraft or place encounters these things as site for witchcraft or close friends or family involved in it. Scriptural definition of witchcraft is power practice of witches of evil or occultic nature constitutes witchcraft abomination to God. Bible says Manasseh, the most wicked king in Israel practiced witchcraft as a result Israel was taken captive by the enemies in 1 Chronicles 33. So King Saul in Old Testament consulted witch for guidance resulted in downfall death in 1 Samuel 28. Misguided Christians do witchcraft practices without knowing truth about what they are doing end up suffering consequences of their involvement. This happens in ignorance, going to “fortune tellers studying astrology, other occultic teachings. Come under oppressive spirit of fear and torment and health begins to fail, sever relationships and financial problems, spiritual world of the demon spirits invades house, other experiences manifest frightening sounds and smells. The sound of a window glass breaking, yet no broken windows in house after gone fortune tellers for reading home smell bees wax candles burning in the house; racing through house find no candles burning. Fortune tellers claim to be religious people with hands placed on Bible. They put money for their fees under Bible deceived so fall into trap of deception do not know scripture forbid such practices. Be filled with Holy Spirit study Scripture and receive deliverance from demon spirits. The Supernatural phenomenon surrounding UFOs in different areas many times is traced to practice of witchcraft in the area. When corporate satanic practices go on in certain vicinities, unexplained sounds, weird displays of sights, lights, electrical shorts can occur. These occur without any natural explanation as they are coming from satanic spirit world. Many practice witchcraft by covens producing these sorts of satanic manifestations. These practices slaying, blood letting, castrating of cattle or other animals the people who know nothing of spiritworld think deaths result of extraterrestrial beings attacking cattle or animals. The truth is those who are satan’s followers seduced into animal sacrifices to know higher realms of power. And so satan’s ultimate goal is to destroy souls and damn them to hell. Scripture in New Testament of Bible tells us what we are to pursue or what to avoid not to come under satan’s influence witchcraft:

The works of the flesh manifest as adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulation, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and I tell you now, as I told you in time past those who do such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Galatians 5:19-25

Lack of Knowledge Opens UFO Door

Hosea 4:6 says, “My people destroyed for lack of knowledge” Many of God’s people can be destroyed if involved in modern-day cults, New Age practices. Seek knowledge of Word of God so that we are not vulnerable to satan and his demons. Many Christians are wasting time reading many worldly books and watching too much secular television while spiritual knowledge of the things of God is very limited. This gives enemy advantage over them. The LORD does not want us to suffer destruction. The Bible tells us in John 10:10 we have an enemy satan who is a thief who robs and destroys lives. Jesus came to give us abundant life more abundantly. “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy: Jesus comes so we have life to have it more abundantly. Jesus is the good shepherd: good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep in John 10:10-11. So people deceived by cults are ignorant Christians who do not know the Bible. Return to the Word of God as standard for guidance and answers as warned in 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 not to accept any other gospel but the Gospel of Christ, “I fear lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through subtlety, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity in Christ. If they come to preach another Jesus, whom we have not preached or receive other spirit, not received from God, other gospel, not acceptable to God do not bear with such.” Knowledge of TRUTH keeps from spirit of error so first receive TRUE Gospel found in John 3:16-21:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because has not believed in the Name of the ONLY begotten Son of God. This is condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men love darkness rather than light because their deeds, evil. For every one that does evil hates light, neither come to light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Those doing truth come to light, that his deeds may be made manifest as they are done through God. John 3:16-21

We live in perilous times. As Christians we are promised that we shall not be destroyed but through the power of the Holy Spirit we shall be able to live an overcoming life in Him. However, if we do not seek Him and His truth, desiring His righteousness, we can become deceived and believe a lie as spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2:8-13:

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2:8-13

Satan does lying signs & wonders

From this scripture we can see that Satan is able to perform “signs and lying wonders.” Among these are the Satanic UFO manifestations. God is also capable of performing supernatural signs and wonders but His works will always bring glory to God and point people to salvation through Jesus Christ. We must have the discernment to know what is of God and what is not of Him. This only comes as we know Him personally and know more of His Word. In 1 John 4:1-6 we are given this advice:

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 1 John 4:1-6

Power of God’s Spirit Protects

We must have the power of the Holy Spirit to live in victory and overcome the enemy and his deceptions at this hour. We must ask to be filled with the Spirit and seek Him with our whole heart and turn away from all that is not of Him. Pride stands in the way of many. We must not be high minded, but seek God in humility asking Him to keep us from deception and error in this hour of much evil.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy 3:1-7

Christians, in 1 Thessalonians 5:21 says to “Prove all things; hold fast to that which is good.” If you are one of those who ensnared by satan’s deceptions, there is a way out. The Bible says in James 4:7-8: “Submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Clean your hands, sinners; purify your hearts, double minded.” If you know people who are in bondage to Satan and his deceptions, remember we are to pray for them to receive the light. We are called to love. We must remember our battle is not with people (flesh and blood) but with the forces of darkness that hold their minds captive to a lie. The Bible should have the last word on this subject. Here is what we are told in Ephesians 6:10-18:

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. Ephesians 6:10-18

Life In Outer Space?

The only worlds the Bible speaks of as being inhabited are this earth, heaven and hell. This does not rule out the possibility of other galaxies that have planets that contain life but the Bible was given to man so he would know how to live in this life and procure heavenly life in the world to come. To speculate on things that the Bible is silent about is presumptuous to me. Many people are spending hours seeking to understand the mysteries of the universe but haven’t even taken the time to understand the mysteries of this life that are revealed in the Bible. To me it is more egotistical to theorize and allow my imagination to conjure up things that the Bible is silent about. Many people seeking the mysteries of outer space are prone to receiving suggestions and suppositions that are not Biblically based. When we delve into things the Bible is not commanding to seek opens to deception. Christians our goal should be to first be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ and get the Gospel out. I do not know everything God has in store for His children in the world to come, perhaps exploring the galaxies is one of them. However, we should leave those things to God and the future we have been promised in Him. 1 Corinthians 2:9: “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”

JESUS 0N S0D0M &G0M0RRAH

Jesus said one third of earth destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrah. And Ezekiel 16:48–50 says God deals with Jerusalem like Sodom for what you and daughters did. The sin of Sodom is her daughter’s arrogance, overfed, unconcerned, didn’t help the poor or the needy. Sodom and Gomorrah’s immorality was living in sin God’s vengeance fire fell on the city in Jude1:7. Jesus says earth destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 18-19. The LORD God sent two angels to warn Abraham about Sodom and Gomorrah’s grievous sins to God in Genesis 18:20-33. Abraham pleads with God for mercy on city of Sodom and Gomorrah because Abraham’s nephew Lot and family lived in Sodom. Two angels visited Sodom and Gomorrah and Lot met them in the City square took them to stay at his home. Before they went to bed all the men from the city of Sodom, young or old surrounded his house. They told Lot to bring out two men to gang rape them in Genesis 19:4-5. The two angels blinded the men from Sodom and Gomorrah and told Lot’s family to flee City to escape wrath of God. Lot’s family fled the city but his sons-in-law left behind. Lot’s wife during flight from Sodom and Gomorrah turned to pillar of salt. She was Cannanite woman, her family was left behind did not resist urge to look back as God warned as city was on fire.The LORD rained burning sulfur of sun flares onto Sodom and Gomorrah. God destroyed two cities for no hospitality of men attacking Lots house for gay sex. Lot made the wrong choice by offering his own daughters so God’s messengers overruled him. In Genesis 19:31–32 Lot’s daughters thought no man was left after they saw the destruction of Sodom. Felt they were only people left on earth tried to preserve family line they raped their father. They left Sodom but Sodom was still in them. Sodomy was craving anal sex with men. Gomorrah’s  sodomy anal sex by men’s consensual homosexuality. But an intention of gang rape by all men of the city part of reason God destroyed two cities. Men of Sodom and Gomorrah wanted a homosexual gang rape of two angels from God. Bible says be kind to strangers, you may entertain angel’s. Homosexuality was part of reasons God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. A gang rape was worse because it disrespects to dehumanises victim and kills them. And Sodom and Gomorrah was not exclusive in sins they committed others did so too.Leviticus 18:22 says homosexuality is an abomination as Jude 1:7 stated. Sodom and Gomorrah’s sexual immorality had offended God. Homosexuality is not the only sin of city of Sodom and Gomorrah but its a primary reason for destruction of the cities. Romans 1 in Bible warns of God’s condemnation of a homosexuality sin of Sodom, Gomorrah. No hospitality by men of Sodom and Gomorrah to two visitors were hostile homosexual predators who wanted to gang rape. God destroyed two cities and inhabitants guilty for all the horrendous sin. Homosexuality is one of the sins God poured fiery sulfur on cities destroyed. Men forced wives to abort pregnancy not to ruin the sex life. Sodom, Gomorrah desolate wasteland Jesus said so cities will be destroyed by fire in endtimes. God LOVES homosexuals. Jesus  hates all sins. Romans 1:16-22 says, don’t be ashamed of Gospel its the POWER of God for salvation to all who believe, first to Jews and then to Gentiles. The Gospel is righteousness of God by faith to all righteous people who believe in Jesus and repent to be saved.Leviticus 18:22; 20:13 on homosexuality: Do not lie with men as you lie with women it is detestable to God. “If a man lies with a man as he lies with a woman its detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads in Leviticus 20:13. Leviticus bans tattoos, pork, shellfish, rules on slavery and foreigner treat as native-born. Leviticus advocates death penalty for adultery. Also in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, don’t you know wrong doers will not inherit kingdom of God? Don’t be deceived, the sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers and men having sex with men or thieves, greedy, drunkards, the slanderers revellers and swindlers will not inherit the kingdom of God.” In 1 Timothy 1:10, law on sexually immoral, homosexual, slaves, liars, the breakers of God’s word will not inherit Kingdom of God. Sodom and Gomorrah Sodomites put sex too much above kindness. Homosexuality is one of sins condemned by God. And Leviticus 18:22 warns against gang raping. Levite’s wife in Judges 19–21 from Ephraim died gang raped disturbing texts in Bible. The wife was raped and murdered by Benjamites gang of men looking for gay sex. Levite old man from hill country of Ephraim living in Gibeah host offered his daughters in place of her husband. Inhabitants wanted gay sex raped anal sex left woman dead on doorstep. The husband cut up her body sent to all tribes to go to war or be cut to pieces if they refuse to fight in vengeance. They went to war to kill to decimate Benjamites. God’s wrath is against all the sins of all godless wickedness of people. In Romans 1:19 God made plain 20 Since creation of the world, God’s qualities of eternal power and divine nature clearly seen and understood as God made them have no excuse. 21 Though they know God, don’t GLORIFY GOD or give HIM thanks. Their foolish hearts is darkened. 22 Claim to be wise but fools as God calls them fools for their unbelief in God’s commands.
Deuteronomy 29:23 says the land of the brimstone and salt burning waste, not sown is unproductive, no grass grows in it. Overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim the LORD is HIS anger and wrath. Luke 17:29 says on a day Lot went from Sodom God rained fire and brimstone from heaven to destroy all. Isaiah3:9 said expression of their faces bear witness against them, they display their sin like Sodom don’t even conceal it. Woe as they bring evil on themselves. Isaiah 23:19 says Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, glory of Chaldeans’ pride like God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. Jeremiah 24:14 says the prophets of Jerusalem did horrible thing to commit  adultery walk in falsehood. Strengthen the hands of evildoers, so no one turned back from wickedness so all became to God like Sodom and Gomorrah. And in Lamentations 4:6, Iniquity of daughter of MY people greater than sins of Sodom overthrown moment none turns to her. Ezekiel 16:44-58 “Behold, everyone who quotes proverbs will quote this proverb against you, Like mother like daughter. Amos 4:11, says As God did to Sodom and Gomorrah like a firebrand snatched from blaze yet not returned to ME,” says the LORD. Matthew 10:15  “Truly I say to you, it is more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city. Luke10:22 I say to you it will be more tolerable that day for Sodom than for that city.
Matthew 11:23-24 “Jesus said, that You, Capernaum is not exalted to heaven but descend to Hades. For if miracles took place in Sodom as occurred to you, it would remain to this day. In Luke 17:28-30, “As it happened in days of Lot they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting and building. 2 Peter 2:6-9 God destroys Sodom and Gomorrah  reduced to ashes warns rebellious people living ungodly lives to stop. Jesus said in the  end-time events like days of Sodom and Gomorrah’s destruction. Evil conditions happen globally Jesus warns to ensure people learn from the past living history and mistakes. Jesus said it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah then destroyed by fire from God. Its worse in great tribulation wrath of God because they reject Jesus. God is destroying third of the world with fire, and earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, storms, floods, tsunamis, wildfires, pole shifts, sun scorching people to death. Droughts, famines, plagues, rivers turn to blood, one third trees die by fire, one third seas, oceans bitter by Wormwood, blood moons, blue moons, and black moons, three days darkness on earth and snow, and one third ships destroyed, thunder pollution seen in world experiencing all these tribulations peak to culminate in a worst GREAT  TRIBULATION end time of events. Jesus saves in Rapture so escape before the Armageddon war and return of KING of Kings Jesus to rule on earth from Jerusalem in Israel in Millennium. Jesus said as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, fire will fall from God in heaven. Comets, asteroids, wormwood star and nibiru, electromagnetic waves ruins earth before the second coming of Jesus. Things happen as Bible prophecy warns people so world wake up, repent, be saved in Jesus Name with thanks and all the Glory to God. God’s compassion, grace, mercy extends to all today. God doesn’t want you to perish. Corruption, greed, part of problems of Sodom and Gomorrah. The wealthy people enriched themselves at the expense of the poor and needy. God warns to remember you are stewards of God’s resources created, provided and owned by God. Warnings fall on deaf ears continue regardless its business as usual until God destroyed two cities. And Jesus warns the rich in Revelations 19:15 God will judge them to give account of how God’s resources used on earth on the behalf of all humanity. Repent and ask God to forgive you if you are rich and wealthy. God loves people to prosper, be rich to enrich others as a conduit of financial blessings to help others to get healing from God. Its not good to gain the whole world and to lose your soul for these perishable things of this world. Receive gift of eternal life by Christ salvation.

SIGN OF SON OF MAN IN SKY

The Sign of Son of Man Jesus appears in the skies says Matthew 24:30. Darkness in the last days before Jesus will Return suddenly and appear in a white cloud in sky. Miracles, Signs, Symbols Jesus said are God’s Plan of the End times harvest of souls. There will be Signs in Sun and Moon, Stars on earth, distress of nations with perplexity because of roaring seas. In Revelations 14:14 John looked up and saw a white cloud and seated on a cloud is “SON OF MAN” with Crown of gold on His head and sharp sickle to harvest the church to heaven but evil wicked burn like chaff. Warnings and judgments did not produce reformation so sins of the nations are filled up so become ripe for judgments. Represented by the harvest is emblem used to signify gathering of the righteous ripe for heaven by mercy of God. The harvest time is ripe so the believers ready for heaven like wheat of the earth shall be gathered into Christ’s garner. Enemies of Christ destroyed, by sin ripe for ruin not spared any longer. The wine-press wrath of God is terrible calamity, sword, shedding the blood of wicked. Patience of God towards wicked sinners is worst punishment in world so is happening all over the world. Though long-lasting, everlasting and ripeness in sin is a sure proof of God’s judgment at hand. The Son of man sitting on cloud is The Saviour, Jesus Christ Lamb of God in Revelations 14:14. Thrust in His sickle on earth cut down harvest to gather His people to himself in heaven. The earth is reaped so righteous rescued from the great tribulation destroying people. The end will come after church is redeemed God’s work contemplated accomplished. Results of the work of the Saviour Jesus’ glorious harvest of righteous souls is the reason for Signs of Son of Man in cloud in sky seen globally shining as Brightly as the Sun to redeem the righteous ones. According to other different notions of the harvest is interpretation of the verse that God is calling in Jews and His elect by preaching gospel to them. And God’s vengeance on antichrist and adherents, is fully expressed in Revelations 15:1-16:21. Jesus sitting on the white cloud so thrusts in His sickle on earth puts forth, power in His hand in answer to angel time has fully come for this great event. The earth is reaped and harvest of souls get into heaven. Reaping harvest is used as the designed wrath of God and HIS judgments inflicted on wicked as seen in Isaiah 17:5. The two meaning correct because after wheat gathered one-third of trees destroyed so is one third of seas, and one third of lakes, oceans destroyed and one third of people. Judgments of God on antiChrist contemporary with a pouring of fifth and sixth vials on beast and followers. Destruction of Babylon is expressed in the language of Jeremiah, 51: 33. More Signs and wonders in Sky affects the whole earth so not limited to Israel or Babylon. Consequences of sign of man Jesus entails the whole world. BIBLE REFERENCES ON SIGNS IN SKY:

WORMWOOD IN THE BIBLE

The meaning of Wormwood is found in Bible in the old Testament in Bible. In Hebrew, la’anah, is the wormwood Artemisia absinthium of botanists. It is intense bitterness. Deuteronomy 29:18, Proverbs 5:4 and Jeremiah 9:15, Amos 5:7. Wormwood type of bitterness for affliction, remorse, punishment and suffering. In Amos 6:12, Hebrew word is hemlock or wormwood so the 4 kinds of wormwood in Palestine called Artemisia nilotica, A. Judaica, A. fructicosa and A. cinerea. Wormwood word occurs in the Bible used generally in a metaphorical sense. In Jeremiah 9:15, Lamentations 3: 15, Lamentations 23:15. Wormwood is a symbol of bitter calamity, sorrow so set aside by God to deal with unrighteous to judge unrepentant sinners. Judgment by wormwood in Amos 5:7 as Orientals use typify sorrow, cruelties acalamities. The plant’s poisonous bitter nature symbolic of God’s bitter judgement. The Hebrew la`anah is a bitter substance associated gall in Septuagint translated apsinthos wormwood. Ancient traditional English Version Bible translates genus Artemisia Natural Order Compositae wormwood. 5 species of shrubs, herbs in Palestine’s bitter herb name derived from property of species as anthelmintics. Or varieties in manufacturing absinthe wormwood. This language of real Bible apocalypse is in Revelations 8:10 -11. The stars falling on waters of earth causes a third part of waters to turns into bitter wormwood. In Hebrew la`anah is same Greek word absinthion that means its undrinkable. Absinthe in France is distilled from the species of plant, “southernwood” or “old man, cultivated in cottage gardens as fragrance species. The bitter plant’s bitterness is likened to lips of a strange narcissist woman sweet as honeycomb. Her mouth smoother than oil but in the end is her bitter destruction of a victim like WORMWOOD so two edged sword. Her feet leads down to death, her steps send people into hell says Proverbs 5:3-5. Wormwood name of a star Revelation in 8:10-11. A third angel sounds trumpet and a great star blazing like a torch falls from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water, the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turn bitter many people die from bitter waters is third trumpet of judgments in Revelations. Revelation 5:4:5 opened by Jesus’ sealed book of Daniel sealed with seven seals for the endtimes. God’s plan reveals prophecy of Lion of Zion of tribe of Judah who prevailed to open the book to loose the seven seals in Revelation 5:4-5. Wormwood is prophecies of Christ in Bible in Matthew, Mark, Luke fulfilled. Matthew 24 prophecy is fulfilling seven seals in Revelation so the first seal is the false prophets; and second is war; third, famine; fourth plagues, pestilence; fifth tribulations sixth death, heavenly signs. The seventh seven trumpets is of return of Jesus Christ at seventh final trumpet, Jesus Second Coming to the earth to rule after seven seals. A false leader has bow and crown conquering and to conquer in Revelation 6:1-2 using false religion In Matthew 24. True gospel is preached around the world but false Christs shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ to deceive many in verses 4-5 so elect to be alert not to be deceived as whole world is in Revelation 12:9. Second is wars as peace is taken from earth they kill one another with sword” in Revelation 6:4. Wars and rumours of wars but be not troubled for all these things must come to pass but end is not yet” says Matthew 24:6. Nuclear bombs accumulate or land mine detonated kill millions each year. Many cannot farm the land due to wars or land mines causing famines in Third Seal. Drought and famine cause plagues pestilence locusts, disease so death, hell, grave, power to kill with sword, hunger, death, beasts of earth. Fourth of seventh seals death in Matthew 24 is nations rise against nations and kingdoms against kingdom, famines, earthquakes in many places” in Matthew 24:7 worldwide. But “All these are beginning of the sorrows” Christ warned about in verse 8. These event before His return. Seven trumpets judgments of seventh seal in Revelation 8:1-5. The first trumpet causes hail fire destroying much of plant life in world in Revelation 8:7. The second trumpet brings meteor, comet, or other heavenly body hitting the oceans causing death of one-third of world’s sea life, Revelation 8:8-9. Third trumpet similar to second, affects world’s lakes and rivers instead of oceans in Revelation 8:10-11. Causes a third part of all fresh water on earth to turn bitter so many people die from drinking it. The word “wormwood” is mentioned in New Testament, appears 8 times in Old Testament associated with bitterness, poison and death. The Bible predicts Earth will experience massive pole shift and earthquakes when Sixth Seal is opened so evidence shows a pole shift has occurred. The mechanism that causes perturbing Earth’s axis of planet, cataclysmic interruptions wobble earth unstably. These physical manifestations are ongoing in earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, tornadoes, flashfloods, forest wildfires, mudslides, volcanoues and a red, blue, snow, black moon, imminent chaos of the birthpang pains exactly as Jesus predicted in Matthew 24. The Revelation passage confirms saying from God using falling stars on earth is actually called Wormwood. Inhabitants of earth’s wormwood well-known bitter herb in Bible times. Wormwood’s star has effect bitter on waters of the earth so the water is undrinkable. It won’t be a matter of simply bitter taste of water, it will literally be poisonous. If drinking water is unavailable to one third of the earth’s population, it is easy to see how chaos and terror will result. As humans can only survive couple of days without water. The inhabitants of affected areas will be so desperate they actually drink the poisoned water, causing the deaths of thousands and millions of people. So this prophecy is yet to come in the last seven years of tribulation age known as 70th week of Daniel. This is one of the natural disasters of 7 trumpets to usher in rise of antiChrist to world power very quickly in Revelation, chapter 13. Then one-third of earth destroyed by trumpet judgments in partial judgment God. HIS full wrath yet to be unleashed in Great Tribulation to destroy earth. So Biblical interpretations of the end time signs of the WRATH of God unfolding. A number of Bible scholars say term Wormwood is symbolic representation of all bitterness to fill earth during the troubled times. The plant Wormwood named, Artemisia absinthium, Mugwort, and the Artemisia vulgaris, is known Biblical metaphor for things unpalatably bitter. Wormwood is чорнобиль chornobyl Ukrainian name of town Chernobyl nuclear disaster that  destroyed parts of the earth, trees and plant life and killed people. 2 Timothy 3:1 says in the last days perilous times shall come. Floods, wildfires, droughts, locusts, plagues, earthquakes gets worse until Rapture of Jesus. AFTER THESE THINGS GREAT TRIBULATION OF EVIL UNSEEN BEFORE HAPPENS ON EARTH. Repent before too late so Jesus will save you in Jesus Name to escape to heaven.

JESUS AND SIGN OF JONAH

Jesus spoke about Sign of Jonah in Bible in relation to people depending on the signs and wonders than Divine Master planner of the signs. Jonah is the least admired of Old Testament prophets yet, in spite of his flaws, Jesus used Jonah as a type of himself and proof of His divine mission. Divine paradoxes God uses the almost despicable weakness of Jonah to illustrate the most sublime and essential truths. Nineveh was flourishing capital of Assyrian Empire in 2 Kings 19:36 and was the home of King Sennacherib, King of Assyria, during Biblical reign of King Hezekiah (יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ) and lifetime of Judean prophet Isaiah (ישעיה). Records Hebrew scripture, Nineveh a place Sennacherib died and his 2 sons fled to vassal land of `rrt or Urartu in Isaiah 37:37-38. Book of prophet Nahum is almost exclusively taken with prophetic denunciations against Nineveh. Its ruin and utter desolation foretold in Nahum 1:14; 3:19. Its end was strange sudden and tragic in Nahum 2:6-11. According to Bible it was God’s doing, HIS judgment on Assyria’s pride in Isaiah 10:5-19. In fulfillment of prophecy God made “an utter end of the place a “desolation.” Prophet Zephaniah 2:13-15 predicted its destruction along with fall of empire’s capital. Nineveh is setting of the Book of Tobit. Jesus used prophetic significance of Jonah, 3 days in belly of fish for His resurrection, end time signs, wonders, forever declared:

“An evil and adulterous generation seeks after sign but no sign will be given except sign of prophet Jonas. Jonas was 3 days and 3 nights in a whale’s belly so Son of man for 3 days and 3 nights in heart of earth.” in Matthew 12:39 –40 in the Bible.

Christ’s words means he will die 3 days in the grave so rise up resurrected and alive again. Baffled listeners including Jewish proselytes, converts, multitudes, crowds from all nations under heaven. After His resurrection later then people understood what Jesus meant. The sign of Jonah is more than oblique reference to His death but full meaning is relevant today. Jonah’s 3 days in belly of a whale is prophetic to Christ’s three days in the tomb and rest of the story is unfolding today. This tale is suitable for children, to adults of more profound significance meaning duty to God’s calling requires correct response. Jonah’s myopic short-sightedness overlooked time relevance so instead of going 550 miles to Nineveh turned left 2500 miles in the opposite direction to Tarshish. Jesus said sign of Jonah is end time Sign of His Coming. The prophet Jonah called by God to give the final message of warning to Nineveh because they were wicked beyond the boundary of HIS mercy, to be destroyed in 40 days. Jonah fled in fear resulting in storm at sea, requested to be thrown overboard, swallowed by the whale so disappeared from face of the earth. 3 days later, repented from his folly so spewed out. Made his way to Nineveh, prophesied 3 days and nights: in forty days great city will be destroyed. Why did God single out Nineveh warning it in this manner leaving the other wicked cities unwarned? Nineveh, founded by righteous patriarch Shem son. Nineveh representative of all who once served God but later departed from HIM. In the Bible only a handful of places referred to as “great city.” Apart from Nineveh is used once for Jerusalem (Jeremiah 22:8) to describe New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:2) in reference to Mystery Babylon (Rev. 18 : 21). The New Jerusalem is the true bride of Lamb Jesus as all started out pure but sinned and corrupted themselves and so became enemies of God. This position Jesus took of Jews, backslider believers claiming to serve God yet the enemies of God. Jesus was sent by God to preach to save against sin destroying Jerusalem a great city whose wickedness came up before God, calling to repentance. Like Jonah, Christ disappeared from face of earth 3 days but tomb could not bound Him like whale in Jonah’s case, released Himself from grave as Lord over death. During that time the disciples in fear for their lives in anguish of soul hid away behind locked doors in the Upper Room. Followed by 3 years of Christ’s disciples declared great wickedness of Jerusalem slaying Christ and coming destruction of city and temple. Turned on the fellow believer Anointed by God for His zeal and devotion to God. Misguided killed the messenger for preaching the Gospel truth of Jesus crucified on Cross.The Book of Jonah is set in the days of the Assyrian empire described in Jonah 3:3&4:11 as “exceedingly great city of 3 days journey in breadth, had population at time “more than 120,000.” Possibly it took 3 days to cover neighbourhoods by walking, which matched size of ancient Nineveh. Ruins of Kouyunjik, Nimru, Karamles Kouyunjik, Khorsabad form the 4 corners of irregular quadrangle. The ruins of Nineveh, with the whole area included in the parallelogram form lines drawn from the one to the other, consisted of these four sites. The Book of Jonah depicts Nineveh as a wicked city worthy of destruction God sent Jonah to preach to Ninevites of their destruction, and they fasted and repented because of this. As a result, God spared the city but Jonah protested against this. God states HE is showing mercy for the population ignorant of the difference between right and wrong “cannot discern between the right hand and their left hand”and had mercy for animals too fasted in the city. Nineveh’s repentance, salvation from evil found in Christian Bible, the Jewish Tanakh, Muslim Koran. Other scriptural references include Matthew 12:41, Luke 11:32. Today, Syriac, Oriental Orthodox churches commemorate 3 days Jonah spent inside fish during Fast of Nineveh. Christians observe holiday, fasting and refraining from food, drink. Churches encourages followers to refrain from eating meat, fish and dairy products. Sin of Nineveh is compared by Jesus to sin against God or Temple in Jerusalem. So those looking to get rid of Jesus feared popularity accused Him of blasphemy to destroy Temple but His Resurrection 3 days meant, later Temple destroyed.

“We heard Stephen say, Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy temple… All  in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.” (Act 6:14 – 15)

No coincidence Jerusalem is destroyed by Roman armies 40 years after Christ’s death. The story of Jonah and Nineveh is more than just reference to Christ’s death and resurrection; it is a prophetic history of Jerusalem. In both cases God’s messengers were afflicted, hidden from view for period 3 days after which they gave the warning for a period of 3 days or 3 years as Jesus said city is destroyed within 40 prophetic days of 40 years. So note with interest Jewish calendar 40 day period precedes Day of Atonement called Teshuvah, which means to return to repentance, those who did not repent and return were to be cut-off. God in His Mercy forgave Nineveh because of their humility and obedience to Gospel. Destruction of Nineveh was stopped for a time after prayer and fasting of King, Queen, all people including the animals but Jerusalem was destroyed. So reason for this is Jonah’s prophecy regarding Jerusalem applies to end time signs of the world. Jerusalem’s destruction is the prefigured sign of Jonah not just for the Jews but for ‘evil adulterous generation’ living in the last days. Prophet Jonah is a lesson for all nations including the remnant Church of God. God raised up prophetic people to give Gospel Truth messages to warn “Babylon that great city.” But like Jonah who fled from his duty fell asleep, secure in company of idolaters on ship to Tarshish, God’s endtime last days people doing same things. Their “ship” set course  towards spiritual sin away from call of duty to proclaim the Gospel message to Babylon the great. God’s end time birth pangs of pain hour of HIS WRATH judgements is coming. Babylon fell for not repenting but Nineveh did in time of Jonah and so saved. As Jonah was sound asleep like disciples fell asleep at Gethsemane, wise and foolish virgins in church fast asleep believe their “ship will go through” to safety. But as Jonah slept, violent storms arose and fearing for safety idolaters in ship cast him out to sea where he was swallowed up so lost out of sight.The ship Jonah trusted in to protect him from storms of life refused to obey God, turned against him, threw him down to the bottom of ocean. Came to his senses after 3 days and went to Nineveh God so intervened to save Nineveh nation from death, destruction, and pardoned their sins. As Christ arose from land of dead back to living (Isaiah 53:8; John 11:48) so Nineveh was spared from death too. Jesus’ disciples cast out of synagogues (John 9:22; 12:42; 16:2) God lets strong winds of strife, storm, tempest lashed seas of masses’ rage, threaten safety of life ship. To secure ‘safety,’ idolatrous crew cast God’s servants out of ship to be out of sight of to lost world. Put out of sight out of mind they thought. But shocked with horror enemy TRIUMPHS, emerges again did miracles more signs on Earth for 40 days. They never knew what they meant for evil God turned to greater good to save humanity. Jonah’s experience in belly of a whale brought him more than just a change of attitude. Eyewitness reports of sailors swallowed by whales say they come out bleached by whale’s stomach acids. Skin of sailors who came out looked unnaturally white and bloodless. Jonah experienced whale belly so taught him lesson of obedience but left upon him mark of God’s Hand on him for spectacle as he made his way to Nineveh. People repented but Jonah was not happy with outcome, expected destruction as what God told him.No doubt a visible mark of God on him contributed largely to success of his mission drawing attention of people to notice him sticking out like sore thumb. Jonah, 3 days of anguished concealment like the disciples sealed with Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Eph 1:13; 4:30; 2 Cor 1:22). So makes spectacle of people sealed by Holy Spirit contributes to success of the ministry. Same experienced by saints of God to learn the lessons of obedience in terrible things in righteousness in Psalm 65:5 they come out sealed with Father’s name on foreheads. Faces lit as Stephen in Acts 6:15 by power of God cried loud. Mighty angels of Revelation 18 declare whole counsel of God, warning a fallen world to come out of Babylon great city. Jonah’s end time sign means while busy looking for signs or wonders in clouds, skies, SIGN OF SON OF MAN Jesus Christ will suddenly appear like lightning then Jesus is seen by all in Rapture in clouds. Acceptance of Gospel message of Jonah and repentance of sins is sign that saved Nineveh. Gospel Message determines all to be saved like Nineveh or destroyed as Jerusalem. Messiah Jesus returns for His repented people rescued in Rapture but mockers will hit rock bottom like Jonah in a hard way before they finally learn lesson fully obey God. Like Jonah, some angry with God for not destroying the enemy as Jonah expected. Jonah felt he wasted time, wanted revenge from God. But God changed HIS MIND to FORGIVE Nineveh. Jonah’s Gospel Message bore good fruits to harvest souls for God as people humbled themselves so listened. Jonah was angry so wanted punishment from God. Jonah forgot its God’s Grace, Mercy and Compassion that preserved his life in whale’s belly for 3 days. Jonah had to accept God FORGIVES all people, of all nations, races, classes, status and genders for God extends same Favour to Nineveh as HE did to Jonah and to all.Jonah 3:3-10 says he arose and went to  Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey. ⁴ And Jonah entered city a day’s journey, and cried and said 40 days and Nineveh will be overthrown. ⁵ So people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them. ⁶ For word came unto the king of Nineveh and he arose from his throne, he laid his robe from him, covered with sackcloth and sat in ashes. ⁷ He proclaimed and published through Nineveh by decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let no man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed or drink water ⁸  Let man and beast be covered with sackcloth cry to God, turn everyone from evil ways, and from violence in their hands. ⁹ Who can tell if God will turn away from HIS fierce anger so we perish not? ¹⁰ God saw their repentance, they turned from evil ways so God said HE WILL not destroy them so did not. It is Jonah who was angry because God forgave them. Sign of Jonah means, ask God for Mercy, Grace, Compassion and Favour of God by repenting, HE Hears and changes HIS MIND SO FORGIVES in Jesus Name. God did not want anyone to perish in hell, for satan and devils only. God spared Nineveh without sacrifices offered to God to make atonement for sin but their broken and contrite heart, touched God to spare Ninevites. Jonah’s shelter gourd tree in Jonah 4:9, God let worms destroy it a sign of Gods destruction of Nineveh. Jonah was angry over God’s destruction of gourd tree to teach him lesson so God cares and GOD LOVES Nineveh people. Jesus’ Blood cleans all sins to reconcile us to God when we repent in humility.Later, in the New Testament, the sign of Jonah is mentioned in another layer of scripture that correlates with original prophecy of Jonah. Relates to the end of the age includes scriptures of the New Testament regarding this end of the age sign of Jonah: Pharisees with Sadducees tempt Jesus to show them a sign from heaven. So Jesus answered and said to them, When its evening you say a fair weather for sky is red. If morning the weather sky if red cry foul hypocrites you know how to discern face of sky but cannot discern signs of times? A wicked and adulterous generation is seeking after a sign; but no sign will be given to you only a sign of prophet Jonas. He left, departed in Matthew 16:1-4, as end time Jonah prophecy is fulfilled in Jesus Christ the Saviour of the world. Although standing right in front of them, The Promised Messiah chose to ignore and disregard the Son of God. Instead wanted to test Jesus as devil to misuse His powers for wrong reasons to show off. They knew Jesus IS MESSIAH but want the man-made conquering Messiah to redeem them from political yoke. But God allowed conquerors used to rule them as their punishment. God wants the personal salvation greater than their political values preferred. They missed point like Jonah so angry with God for not helping to stop the yoke of servitude. But they forget they asked God to give them kings like other nations. So God warned by prophet Samuel taxes and servitude the human rulers will put on them but insisted they wanted it. In the same way they rejected Jesus for Barabbas and crucified Him. They thought they were getting rid of Jesus forever but wrongly underestimated God’s POWER or AUTHORITY at work in Jesus. As modern generations mock God, antiChrist’s Google refuses Jesus Name answer to ‘who Jesus is’  allows others globally through Alexa. Jesus in Matthew 24 and Luke tells us signs and wonders will occur daily in sky from God in heaven. These signs will usher in RETURN of Jesus in the cloud in Rapture. Like star of Bethlehem at Jesus Birth a sign of a woman clothed with Sun and moon at her feet shows Jupiter in womb 40 months, birthed by lion of Judah nearby, Son whisked safely into heaven from dragon trying to devour Jesus. Is symbolic of Israel, grafted with Gentile remnant church saved from Armageddon in Rapture in ETERNAL life. Only those in Christ are saved as Children of God. People are God’s creatures, Bible says those who accept Jesus are God’s Children.

MILLO CITY IN JERUSALEM

Bible in 1 Chronicles 11:6-10 KJV noted ⁶ David said, “Whoever attacks Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab son of Zeruiah went up first so became chief and captain. ⁷ David dwelt in the stronghold called City of David. ⁸ And he built city around it from Millo to surrounding areas. Joab repaired the rest of the ruined city. ⁹ David went on to become great because LORD of hosts was with him and mighty men of David ¹⁰ were heads David strengthened and with him in his kingdom. Then all Israel made him king according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel. This verses in Bible show David and mighty leaders did not confine themselves to a 12 acre palace City of David. It is impossible to limit City of David to a mere 12 acre site. Bible said Joab extended the City of David to Millo and built the rest of City. Kings, queens have numerous places of residence so not limited to one place of abode. After wars and destructions city was rebuilt again to make it habitable to live in. Version of conquest of Jerusalem in 2 Samuel 5:9 omits details of city of Millo expanded by Joab and the mighty chiefs and captains of David. Jebusite’s false confidence taunted David and his men, ‘blind and lame cannot come in’ to defeat them. Infuriated they conquered the city. ²⁰ David went to Baal Perazim, and defeated them. He said, “As waters break out LORD has broken out against my enemies before me” so place called Baal Perazim. Philistines abandon idols there and David and his men carried them off. Reason God destroys heathen idol worshipers in battle fought by David to conquer Jebusites yet they took their idols home. Joshua and Caleb led Israel to conquer Jericho, Jerusalem earlier matching around walls 7 days on last day 7 times after 40 years journey on return from slavery in Egypt. Israel lived in Jerusalem since time of Judges in Bible. And Jesus said Temple will be destroyed so Israel Salem land belongs to Jews from Melchizedek to Abraham for centuries before David became King over all Israel. Whole Israel reunited so under King David Jews inhabited Holy City so ruined parts rebuilt under Joab. Kingdom later divided by Solomon’s son’s arrogance as elders felt insulted.  

Originally built in 515 B.C.E. to replace Temple destroyed by Babylonians, the temple, support buildings renovated by King Herod (reigned 37–4 B.C.E.), whose architects used Jewish, Eastern, Greek, Roman features. Herod doubled size of Temple Mount creating largest temple complex in Roman world. Reorganized the courts with sizable area for Gentile visitors and Jewish women. Temple was pilgrimage site for Jews in Roman world some traveled to celebrate the festivals of Passover (Pesach), Weeks (Shavout), Booths (Sukkot). Annual half-shekel tax supported temple and city elites gained economically from numerous people on pilgrimage. Archaeological excavations reveal lavish residence, frescoed walls, mosaic floors, imported pots, dishes and luxury goods. City structured around 2 hills, eastern with temple and western Mount Zion. Jerusalem stretched south, territory beyond Old City’s present walls dates 1500s C.E. City expanse northward in first century C.E.. Agrippa I, Herodian dynasty constructed the wall 450 meters north of wall. Greek and Roman design of architectural influence visible. Jewish historian Josephus said Herod the Great built theater in city, amphitheater and a hippodrome stadium for horse races by 60s C.E. (Jewish War 2.44, & Antiquities 15.268 & 17.254-55). After Herod’s death 4 B.C.E., son Archelaus succeeded him. A Roman emperor Augustus exiled him in 6 C.E. and Roman governors appointed procurator or prefect assumed control of Jerusalem and rest of Judea. Apart from 3 year period (41–44 C.E.) rule by Agrippa I, city remained under direct Roman administration until the Great Revolt (66–70 C.E.). The uprising led to destruction of Temple and rest of city, and archaeological excavations found evidence of its toll. The ruined city was home to Roman legion, c. 130 C.E. And Emperor Hadrian refounded it a Roman colony of Aelia Capitolina city but Jews were forbidden to live in.

Jerusalem long history shows, attacked 52 times, captured and recaptured 44 times, besieged 23 times, and destroyed twice. The oldest part of city was settled in 4th millennium BCE so Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world. The Holy City’s central position to Yahweh’s Dwelling since 5,000 years of inhabited history. The Jewish periods of the city’s history is important to Israel because Jews descend from Abraham. Israel is the apple of God eyes and in Jesus the Saviour of all mankind. Archaeological evidence show settlement restablished near Gihon Spring between 4500–3500 BCE. The city in c. 2000 BCE recorded as Rusalimum, root name Salem, “peace” or Shalom and Hebrew. The Canaanite Kingdom period preceded by Adam and Eve through to Abraham and the Judges led people under twelve tribes of Jacob or Israel. Archaeological evidence show by 17th century BCE, Canaanites built massive walls of 4 and 5 ton boulders 26 feet high in eastern Jerusalem to protect ancient water system. By c. 1550–1400 BCE, Jerusalem became vassal to Egypt under Ahmose 1, Thutmose, reunited Egypt expanded to Levant. Egypt in the region declined in 12th century BCE, in in 1178 BCE between Rameses 111 and sea people marked beginning of decline.  Gradual loss of central power gave rise to independent kingdoms in region. And according to Bible Jerusalem is known as Canaan in Abraham’s time, Jericho in Joshua and Caleb’s time, Jebus/ites with inhabitants at time of David and Joab. It is rebuilding Temple in Revelation, man appears like bronze in Ezekiel holding a measuring rod. Angel measured City in Revelation’s New Temple like Ezekiel. In Revelation 6 City is 12,000 stadia, 1400 miles long, wide and high, with wall 200 feet thick. In Ezekiel distance all around the city is 18,000 cubits, 27,000 feet or a little less than 5.2 miles. God said throne of David and sceptre will never depart in Jesus Christ. People found old sites of former temples of Solomon and Herod’s in 70 AD destroyed by Romans, fulfilled Christ’s prophecy no stone left standing. Temple eradicated thousands of years so wants to rebuild New Temple again. Whole land of Israel belongs to the Jews since time of Judges before King David ruled. Israel did not start nation in 1948 they returned after thousands of years in exile after conquest of their land. For 300 years Jews were killed, expelled from land so people want to rebuild the Temple. 4 sites proposed, Temple mount settled is site of lost temples in ancient maps as original plan in Bible by David was changed by God. Israel’s HOLY City dominated by 36-acre Temple Mount is occupied since 692 A.D. by conquest in 638 A.D. The building on top of massive foundation built more than 2 thousand years ago. Is bone of contention of the groups ongoing yet to be resolved. King David’s original plan to build a Temple for God because he dwelt in palace but God’s revealed presence Dwelt in Ark in a tabernacle. God changed plans to ask Solomon to build the Temple instead. So sfter David prepared building materials, gathered ready, Solomon’s Temple was too grand to fit small premises of City of King David’s palace, wives concubines, plus Solomon’s palace, and Solomon’s stables, his wives concubines, plus new Solomon’s Temple. David knows God is Powerful Hierarchy so Mount Zion best suited place for GOD Temple above king David’s palace below on smaller hill. So changed original plan to locate Temple because the whole city belongs to lsrael after conquest of the Jebusites. Although those who stayed in the city allowed to have their enclave. In film the King and I, the King always reminded his people nobody’s head is allowed above his. And King David knows God’s head is highest so the best space available David gave to God. Erased evidence for 4,000 years, turned Holy of Holies to toilet, rubbish tips against God. Evidence deliberately concealed due to implications of proof means removing desolation sacrileges. Ongoing conflict finally settled by GOD using hailstones, comets, meteorites and earthquakes shake, burn one-third city, trees by wildfires. Culminates in war of Armageddon battle led by Jesus to settle once and for all Temple Mount conflict. Nation’s join to fight against Israel, God gives Victory because HIS WRATH fully meted, finished, forgives so restores all Israel saved says the Bible. 

Crusades 1,000 years ago used Temple Mount as Temple Dominion or Temple of God. The site of Solomon’s Temple, the Babylonians destroyed in 586 B.C. and lesser temples, and Herod’s Temple the Roman General Titus destroyed in 70 A.D. So the Temple Mount structure constitutes Western Wall or “Wailing Wall,” Jews believe is sole remaining section of Herod’s Temple. Temple built on site believed by Jews to be “Temple Mount” is the source of conflict leading to Armageddon because HOLY Site war is fierce very few people are left alive in Israel. The desire to rebuild Temple by removing desolation sacrilege is cause of blood shed ongoing in living history.

HOW CAN THE TEMPLE BE BUILT!

The Bible itself in several places clearly says that both temples were erected in the City of David or Zion, which is a far smaller, 12-acre area excavated about 600 feet south of the Temple Mount in City of David, Jerusalem Walls National Park. Solomon’s grand Temple design is far too large to fit by Bible’s description far too large to fit into the 12 acre site of City of David. David’s own palace itself was grand coupled with the beautiful building the Queen of Sheba described as never seeing anything in comparison. History is written from the perspective of the conqueror who usurps resources to stamp their landmarks to wipe out all traces of the past from staring at them. It is always case why previous artifacts, monuments are destroyed to erase the memory of traces of the past. And this is is a deliberate permissive will of God to allow humiliation of those who rejected Jesus and followed baalim. So shocking to read David and his men collected the idols of their enemies and took it home! The very reason why God asked people to destroyed in the first place. Moment of victory overshadowed by idolatry God warned them about. In addition to their wives building temples for their idols right in God’s Temples.

The whole Temple Mount Scholars and archaeologists agree on the structure of Solomon’s Temple described in 1 Kings 6:3–5, with main building, the hekhal, in English called “the sanctuary,” the devir, inner sanctuary and Holy of Holies. The  main building was between outer altar, where most sacrifices were performed, and inside at far end was entry to Holy of Holies containing Ark of t Covenant. The main hekhal contained a number of sacred ritual objects including the seven branched candlestick, inner altar for an incense offerings called “Golden Altar” and table of showbread. Architectural layout of temple adopted in synagogues leading to hekhal applied in Sephardi usage to Ashkenazi Torah ark  or nave.

Porch

The Ulam, or porch, acted as entrance before the Temple on the east (1 Kings 6:3; 2 Chr. 3:4; 9:7). This was 20 cubits long corresponding to width of Temple and 10 cubits deep (1 Kings 6:3). 2 Chr. 3:4 notes this porch was 120 cubits high. The porch stood had two pillars Jachin and Boaz see 1 Kings 7:21; 2 Kings 11:14; 23:3, which were 18 cubits in height.

Chambers

Chambers were built around Temple on southern, western and northern sides (1 Kings 6:5–10). These formed part of the building and used for storage. Probably one story high at first so two more may have been added later.

Courts

According to Bible 2 courts surrounded the Temple. The Inner Court (1 Kings 6:36), or Court of the Priests (2 Chr. 4:9), separated from space beyond by a wall of 3 courses of hewn stone, surmounted by cedar beams (1 Kings 6:36). Contains the Altar of burnt-offering (2 Chr. 15:8), the Brazen Sea laver (4:2–5, 10) and ten other lavers (1 Kings 7:38, 39). A brazen altar stood before Temple (2 Kings16:14) its dimensions 20 cubits square and 10 cubits high (2 Chr. 4:1). The Great Court surrounded whole Temple (2 Chr. 4:9) so people assembled there to worship God. (Jeremiah 19:14; 26:2).

Molten Sea Bath Cisterns

Molten Sea According to the Hebrew Bible, the Molten Sea or Brazen Sea (ים מוצק “cast metal sea“) was a large basin in Temple for ablutionof the priests. It is described in 1 Kings 7:23-26 and 2 Chronicles 4:2-5. Stood in south-eastern corner of inner court. According to the Bible it was five cubits high, ten cubits in diameter from brim to brim, thirty cubits in circumference. The brim was “like calyx of a lily” and turned outward “about a hand breadth” or four inches. It was placed on backs of twelve oxen, standing with their faces outward. The Book of Kings states it contains 2,000 baths (90 cubic meters) Chronicles (2 Chr. 4:5–6) states it holds up to 3,000 baths (136 cubic meters) and states that its purpose was for the purification by immersion of bodies of priests. A wash basin was too large to enter so water is flowed from into subcontainer beneath. The water originally supplied by the Gibeonites, but later brought by conduit from Solomon’s Pools. The molten sea made of brass or bronze, Solomon took from captured cities of Hadarezer, the king of Zobah (1 Chronicles 18:8). Ahaz  took laver from oxen put it on a stone pavement (2 Kings 16:17) destroyed by Chaldeans (2 Kings 25:13). Lavers, each held “forty baths” (1 Kings 7:38), rested on portable holders made of bronze with wheels and ornamented figures of lions, cherubim, palm-trees. Author of Kings describes the minute details with great interest (1 Kings 7:27–37). Josephus wrote vessels in Temple composed of orichalcum in Antiquities of the Jews. So 1 Kings 7:48 said it stood before the Holy of Holies a golden Altar of Incense and a table for showbread. Table of gold and 5 candlesticks on each side as implements for care of candles, tongs, basins, snuffers, fire-pans of gold; and gold hinges of doors. All the various parts of the Temple of Solomon is too big to be contained within City of David so once City of Millo was under Joshua it was chosen as a better location of the bigger temple. The Greeks defiled God’s Temple with their God until Maccabees took it back. The Romans for 300 years ensured the built on top of foundation and some the Holy of Holies as toilets. Therefore the deliberate destruction or the vandalism of the sacred sanctuary is part of desecration of places of worship. Used by even modern armies to erase the Symbols of the presence of the past.

Dedication of Solomon Temple: 

1 Kings 8:10-66 and 2 Chronicles 6:1-42 recount events of temple’s dedication. The priests emerged from Holy of holies after placing Ark there. The Temple was filled with God’s overpowering cloud so interrupted dedication ceremony shows the revealed presence of God.  For the GLORY of the LORD filled the HOUSE of the LORD (1 Kings 8:10–11; 2 Chronicles 5:13, 14). Solomon saw cloud as proof his pious work was accepted by God.

The LORD said that he will dwell in thick darkness. I have built you an exalted HOUSE a place for you to Dwell in forever. (1 Kings 8:12-13)

Solomon led whole assembly of Israel in prayer, noting the construction of the temple represented a fulfilment of God’s promise to David, dedicated temple as a place of prayer and reconciliation for all people of Israel and foreigners living in Israel. Highlighting paradox God who lives in heavens cannot be contained in a single building. Dedication concluded with sacrifices including “twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. 1 Kings 8:22-43 

Solomon’s Prayer of Dedication

²² Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in front of whole assembly of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven ²³ and said: “LORD, the God of Israel, there is no GOD like you in the heaven above or earth below you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way. ²⁴ You keep your promise to your servant David my father; with your mouth you promised and with your hand you have fulfilled it as it is today. ²⁵ “Now Lord, the God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father the promises you made to him you said, ‘You will hsve successor to sit before me on throne of Israel, if your descendants are careful in all they do to walk before me faithfully as you have done.’ ²⁶ God of Israel, let your word you promised your servant David my father come true. ²⁷ “But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven,cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built! ²⁸ Yet give attention to your servant’s prayer and his plea for mercy, Lord my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence this day. ²⁹ May your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, this place of which you said, ‘My Name shall be there,’ so that you will hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place. ³⁰ Hear the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Hear from heaven, your dwelling place, and when you hear, forgive. ^{31 “}If anyone wrongs neighbour required to take oath and come to swear oath before your altar in Temple ³² hear from heaven and act. Hear your servants, deal with guilty bringing on them what they did vindicate innocent treat them in accordance with innocence. ³³ “When your people Israel are defeated by enemy because they sinned against you when they turn back to you to give praise to your name, praying, making supplication to you in temple, ³⁴ then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel and bring them back to the land you gave to their ancestors. ³⁵  “When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because your people have sinned against you, and when they pray toward this place and give praise to your name and turn from their sin because you have afflicted them,³⁶ then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Teach them the right way to live, and send rain on the land you gave your people for an inheritance. ³⁷ “When famine or plague comes to the land, or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers, or when enemy besieges them in any of their cities, whatever disaster or disease may come, ³⁸ and when prayer or plea is made by anyone among your people Israel being aware of the afflictions of their own hearts, and spreading out their hands toward this temple ³⁹ then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive and act; deal with everyone according to all they do, since you knowtheir hearts (for you alone know every human heart), ⁴⁰ so that they will fear you all the time they live in land you gave our ancestors. ⁴¹ “Foreigner who do not belong to Israel from distant land for your name ⁴² for they will hear of your great name and your mighty hand and outstretched arm when they come to pray toward temple,  ⁴³ hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Do whatever the foreigner asks of you so all peoples of earth know your name and fear you, as your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name.

PLANET X REALLY IN BIBLE!!!

Planet X Nibiru in the Bible according to Jesus in Luke 21, Matthew 24, Job 38 and Revelation 8 among others such as Deuteronomy 29:18. For this discussion here today we focus on Jesus’ words on signs and wonders in Sun, skies, clouds, heavens. Many names used in Bible for Planet X, Wormwood, mountains of fire, Niburu as is known by Sumerians. Jesus said these signs revealed by naked eyes will be seen globally various Telescopes on many locations on earth and space. Jesus said in Luke 21:11 in Bible: Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom: Great earthquakes in divers places cause radiation, fishes, animals dying, famine, pestilences, fearful sights and great signs from heaven. Signs cause some fearful people to faint or die by shock as signs precede Jesus Coming in the Clouds in Rapture. Matthew 24:27 As lightning comes out of east and shines in the west so Coming of Son of man Jesus will be. 

As broad daylight Sunshine will Jesus been clearly seen by all relayed in News globally. February 2018 is Black Moon so no moon in month confirms Matthew 24:29, Immediately after tribulation of those days sun is darkened, the moon shall not give light, stars fall from heaven and powers of heavens shall be shaken. Meteors, stars falling all over the world. Sun perturbed by the Nibiru Nemesis dark star. 30 Then shall appear the Sign of the Son of man in heaven all tribes of earth mourn and shall see the Son of man Coming in Clouds of heaven with Power and Great Glory. 31 He shall send His angels with a Great Sound of a Trumpet to gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other up into Clouds in Rapture. 32 Now learn parable of the fig tree; When the branch is tender with leaves know that summer is near: 33 So when you see all these things, know JESUS is near even at the doors. Jupiter shielded earth in past from asteroid belts and centrifugal pull but Niburu perturbs sun and planets so much beyond Jupiter’s protection. This is allowed by God’s wrath to shake the heavens and rock the seas for wake up call of redemption by Grace. So nuclear debris damages earth, cause tsunami or high sea level floods, pollution, houses destroyed people hurt by broken glass from fire balls. The sun’s pole shifted by gravitional pull perturb sun’s heat from earth causing cold spurs to get worse. As Jesus went up in clouds alive to heaven in the same way returns in cloud for elect. So THESE SIGNS GIVE HOPE  TO ELECT, REMNANT, CHOSEN, LOYAL, FAITHFUL CHILDREN OF GOD LOOKING UP TO GOD TO SHORTEN evil days, TO REDEEM, RESCUE to escape as Noah was saved in the flood, Lot from Sodom and Gomorrah fire. These signs were referred to by Jesus: As it was in the days of Noah so these will be signs again destroying earth. The fires from heaven burn one-third of trees on earth, one-third of seas and one-third of ships and one-third of  humanity. So Signs jolt mankind to submit, seek God to repent ask for Mercy, Grace forgiveness before final destruction takes place. The signs continue until Jesus’ Second returns to earth physically to Reign in Jerusalem, after battle of Armageddon in Israel.These great signs are to alert mankind to repent, change and be saved before it is too late. The second reason is God’s time clock is ticking in fulfilment of prophecy 6000 years to restore earth to God after allowing freewill of mankind to do own thing. Time is changing to restore life of mankind back to God but some refuse to yield God’s warnings. God’s Hand is forced to act and destroy all those who refuse to accept Jesus as Lord and give back control of earth to God intended in Garden of Eden. God in Deuteronomy 29:18 told the people HE WILL send Wormwood to destroy them for serving idols baalim. God showed Orion and Pleiades 7 stars to Job in the Bible. Planet X in Orion constellation is seen globally by numerous people and documented. God uses the signs to bring many great earthquakes and volcanoes, tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, forest fires, storms, hailstones, comets, asteroids to pelter earth to call people’s attention to accept Jesus before too late. Nibiru cataclysm is disastrous encounter between Earth by large planetary object believed taking place on earth. The true living words of God in Bible help people to discover and understand the signs and wonders. Like Bereans listened to Paul preach and taught them Words of God, they studied the Bible themselves. They did not just follow teachings of Paul learn heard from pastor, teacher, evangelist, TV radio, youtube. Jesus said various signs and wonders in the skies show birth pangs pains of His coming in Cloud for Rapture.Includes red blood moons, blue moons, snow moons cause sun eclipse flares change appearance of Sun, moon, sky, weather patterns, fireballs, wildfires, earthquakes so rampart not known in living history. Rejoice and look up for salvation is near even at the door.

Nibiru Planet X source of light after Sun set in total darkness of the night is seen recorded in many places. Although the Sun is set already causing a pitch black dark night of city filmed in foreground, the huge source of light illuminates the sky on the horizon. This is only possible because of a Second Sun source of light immitted seen from various videos put together here on YouTube. They took time to consider and to deeply reflect, meditate, consistently study the Bible themselves. Educate yourself and take in accurate Biblical knowledge to save your soul. Eternal is life unfolding now through heaven-sent signs and wonders from Almighty God. Great earthquakes and volcanoes are taking place exactly as Lord God Jesus Saviour of mankind predicted like prophets did in the Bible. Isaiah 24:1 described the shaking of the earth and heavens. In Bowie USA, 2016, Maryland fire fighters found the crater that caused by a meteorite that started wild forest fires. The fire ball ball burnt trees that took 15 firefighters 4 hours to put out. Exactly happened as the Bible warns one-third of trees on earth will be burnt. Carlifornia forest wildfires devastate so many regions each year destroying trees protecting surface of earth cause Carlifonia mudslides. In Perseit in America the meteorite shower dropped into sea caused sea to ride gently drift inland floods. The LORD GOD Yahweh is causing these changes of collisions of Nibiru or planet 9, Nemesis or whatever it is called to hit earth and destroy it so all mankind yields to bow their knees to confess Jesus is Lord to the GLORY of God the Father. This is all about the Bible and God’s WORDS which shall not return void but does exactly as God said whether you believe it or not. The choice is your to be God’s Child in God’s Kingdom or perish. These are warning signs from God so people hear the Gospel message and change.

LANDSLIDES AND TSUNAMIS

Landslides by sea slime can spark 65ft devastating tsunamis. CATASTROPHIC: sea slime could cause a devastating 65ft tsunami. Researchers have found tiny organisms in sea slime is responsible for shifting the Earth’s crust so causing underwater landslides. These are much bigger and more powerful than those that occur above water, scientists have said. If they happen on a flat area of sea bed, can trigger huge tsunamis capable of wiping out an entire coastline. The shock findings were published by the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel after experts examined microalgae, which it is thought cause landslides by creating unstable layer of sea sediment. This is why tsunamis are so dangerous.

The 2004 Tsunami, Indonesia Banda Ace lays flattened after the tsunami quarter of MILLION dead: could this happen again? Boxing Day 2004, an earthquake in the Indian Ocean sparked a series of tsunamis devastated Asia. Thailand, Sri Lanka and Indonesia the worst affected, body count totalled more than a quarter of a million people. Displacement of the large amounts by the sea bed sediment under water can cause the devastating tsunami,” Dr Morelia Urlaub. The study author said: “Submarine landslides can happen on very shallow slopes, often with gradients as low as one or one-and-a-half degrees. So displacement of large amounts of sediment underwater cause devastating tsunamis.”

The report admits despite researchers’ theory, they cannot be exactly certain what causes landslides, stating: “Why and when the submarine landslides develop hardly understood.  “Searching  for causes of landslides is much more difficult underwater than on land due to inaccessibility.” World’s damaging natural disasters witnessed in many centuries and although most are man-made due to wars and terrorism, mother nature certainly dishes out her fair share of damage.

Deadly Tornado Uruguay, April 2016

But they are believed to trigger monster tsunamis that could obliterate a small city. It is thought one such catastrophic event occurred 8,150 years ago, with the wave so big it hit Norway and Scotland. The report states: “Storegga landslide affected an area larger than Scotland, and the material today covers hundreds of kilometers on the seabed.” These are important details that needs to be taken seriously by those residing along high risk zones. Tsunamis are unpredictable so necessary to be on the alert go look out even when having fun and relaxing. The time of running from the tsunami so fast is critical to saving lives. Observe unusual patterns of behaviour of birds, howling of dogs, sudden changes in the weather or temperature. Go with a gut feeling if something seems different on that day so not quite right but cannot tell exactly what it is. Share with others any changes and do not dismiss such an observation as paranoia. Alertness and quick intervention saves many lives so communicate quickly and organise help to rescue or evacuate before it’s too late.

AN EARTHQUAKE IN BRITAIN

I felt tremor at 2:30 in the afternoon and was gently rocked side to side while lying down. I immediately googled to see if anyone else felt this earthquake. It is interesting to know others felt it too so this was not a dream. Earthquakes are becoming more rampart as part of the transitions going on globally. This is more common and equipments able to measure precisely on Ritchter scale. So this is a mild one at 4:4 compared with the bigger ones above 7+ some big ones are predicted to be above Ritchter scale up into 10 and beyond magnitude. Epic centre of earthquake in Wales 4:4points on Richter scale. Minor earthquake with a 4.4 magnitude affected parts of Wales and England so the quake was felt over all of Wales, most of western England, as far east as London and far north as the southern edge of Lake District, British Geological Survey (BGS) said. The epicentre was approximately 20km north-north-east of Swansea and at a depth of 7.4km, it added. There have been no reports of serious damage or injuries. Jesus said in Matthew 24 many earthquakes will happen as part of end time signs and wonders. Be prepared always ready for Rapture but ONLY GOD knows that day, time or hour. Be safe on God’s side than sorry. Earthquakes hit Japan, Taiwan and Guam in recent weeks so scientists now fear that mega quake is imminent.

IMMINENT big one due to hit soon says scientists. The planet’s “Ring of Fire” geological disaster zone in Pacific seen activities that can cause aftershocks on edges of areas hit and result in clusters of tremors. A tudy published in journal Science Advances analysis of 101 major earthquakes around Pacific Ring of Fire between 1990 and 2016. Aftershocks on edges of faultline earthquake increases rapidly. Thorne Lay, professor of Earth and planetary sciences, UC Santa Cruz, said: “dynamic stress earthquake trigger earthquake activated in clustered time.
