We Shall Behold Him with Sandi Patty

Shabbat Shalom Everybody!

I wanted to share this incredibly well done video about the Rapture/Harpazo featuring a song by Sandi Patty. It gave me goose bumps and filled me with joy when I watched this and I hope it does the same for you.

God bless you all, and Maranatha!

YAHSHUA To Give Israel A Heart Of Flesh!

A Short Devotional

Ezekiel 36:22-32, quoted below, explains what it means to be BORN AGAIN (i.e. Verse 27: I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will KEEP My judgments and DO THEM!), and also why the tiny nation of Israel is in such hot water today.

The ONE TRUE God Yahweh Elohim means to change unsaved Israel's heart of stone into a saved heart of flesh that is filled with mercy and love and forgiveness - just like Yahshua's heart is! Amen!

This means that all the Jews who have been regathered to Israel and who currently revile Yahshua and those who love Him will eventually come to repent! They will revile what they have allowed themselves to become and will regret how they have acted! Hallelu-Yah for that!

I'm praying this morning for the TRUE "Peace" of Jerusalem, WHO IS Yahshua Ha Mashiach, to come down to Earth and dwell among us once more! I also pray that Yahshua will reach into every Jewish heart around the world, soon and very soon, and save them all!

Amen and Hallelu-Yah!

~*~ Ezekiel 36:22-32 (NKJV) ~*~
“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went. 23 And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord,” says the Lord God, “when I am hallowed in you before their eyes. 24 For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. 25 Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.”

“Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God. 29 I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. I will call for the grain and multiply it, and bring no famine upon you. 30 And I will multiply the fruit of your trees and the increase of your fields, so that you need never again bear the reproach of famine among the nations. 31 Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight, for your iniquities and your abominations. 32 Not for your sake do I do this,” says the Lord God, “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel!”

PLEASE PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!

Israel and the New Jerusalem: Symbolic Shofars Tied to Orion, Canis Major, and the Feast of Trumpets

Excerpt from “The Language of God in History”,
Chapter 3, pages 178 thru 183:

Could Stonehenge have been built by the righteous human followers of Yahweh with the aid of holy Watchers like Uriel, and was it made to instruct mankind about their ultimate purpose? This is certainly possible and would explain why it exhibits knowledge that the common people of that time era were generally ignorant of. If so, it is just as likely that the Pillar of Enoch (i.e. Great Pyramid) in Egypt was built by the Sethites with the aid of the Watchers to preserve their knowledge of the coming Messiah for future generations. In addition, this mighty pyramid may stand as a symbol for the ultimate place of the righteous in Christ’s everlasting Kingdom. Indeed, the truth that the Great Pyramid represents the Kingdom of God seems to be encoded in Scripture since Mount Zion appears to refer to the Great Pyramid and its heavenly counterpart:

“Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads.” - Revelation 14:1 (NKJ)

Could it be that - on one fateful day during the Great Tribulation - Christ will literally stand atop the Great Pyramid with His 144,000 Witnesses just as Revelation 14:1 intimates? If so, will Christ cap and complete that unfinished pyramid at that time? It certainly is possible that Christ and His Witnesses will repair and finish this artificial mountain that was built in Christ’s honor by our righteous ancestors. At that time, they may also reconsecrate that magnificent ancient altar to God. After that, Christ may send His Witnesses to preach in the four corners of the Earth - corners that are appropriately signified by the Great Pyramid’s four corners.

In direct contrast to this, the small Pyramid at Giza attributed to Pharaoh Menkaure signifies the robber that rejected Christ on Calvary and the scapegoat on the Day of Atonement. This goat was also known as the Azazel goat signifying the fallen Watcher Azazel (i.e. Satan):

“When Aaron has finished making atonement for the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting and the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat. He is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites… and put them on the goat's head. He shall send the goat away into the desert… The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a solitary place; and the man shall release it in the desert.” - Leviticus 16:20-22

The ritual of total abandonment described in the preceding Scripture graphically portrays what Hell will be like for Satan and all those who follow him in rebellion against God. Like the scapegoat, all unrepentant sinners will be abandoned forever in a barren, lifeless place of unending heat, thirst and everlasting torment. And like the scapegoat, they will forever remain spirits whose mortal resurrected bodies will perish in the heat of the Lake of Fire, and whose spirits will never be able to escape from it. This is the horrible fate that awaits all the angels and people who rebel against God without remorse. Indeed, there will be no escape for anyone who refuses to worship the Lamb or humbly accept His sacrifice for their sins. How tragic that so many currently seem destined to dwell in Hell forever. May Yahweh help them all!

Another fact of the crucifixion represented at Giza is that the whole grisly event occurred just outside the walls of the old city of Jerusalem. Likewise, Giza is just outside of the much greater area that the New Jerusalem will one day encompass, which will include all of the Sinai Wilderness to Egypt’s eastern desert border, and all of the land north of modern Israel up to the borders of the Euphrates River as per Revelation 21:16:

“The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs (or stadia). Its length, breadth, and height are equal.”

Note that the New Jerusalem is described as having an enormous square base, with each side of the city being 12,000 furlongs or stadia in length. Now, one stadium is 600 feet long, meaning that the New Jerusalem will have an incredible side length of 7,200,000 feet! Since there are 5,280 feet in a statute mile, the New Jerusalem will measure 1,363.63 miles per side, and its height will equal that length! So, though this could be envisioned as a giant cube-shaped city, it is more likely that the New Jerusalem will mimic the aesthetically beautiful shape of the Great Pyramid - only on a much grander scale!

If so, the Great Pyramid may be a small representation of the New Jerusalem. Also known as the City of God, the New Jerusalem will be the everlasting home of Christ’s Bride, the True Church. It will cover all the territory once belonging to the ancient Kingdom of Israel, stretching all the way to Egypt in the south and Turkey in the north. Like old Jerusalem, the Great Pyramid, Great Sphinx and the Sphinx Temple may also receive a makeover in eternity so that they can forever commemorate Christ’s death and resurrection outside of the New Jerusalem’s sacred walls.

Uncannily, there are other secrets hidden in this region that will one day serve as the foundation of the New Jerusalem. One of them is found in the shape of the Kingdom of Ancient Israel, which covered about the same amount of land as the New Jerusalem will one day. As shown in the first illustration on page 181, this land area is roughly in the shape of a Shofar, or trumpet made from a Ram’s Horn, as shown in the illustration inset. Why hasn’t anyone seemed to notice this, or comment on the fact that this Shofar appears to follow the same path as the great highway that will reach from Egypt to Assyria during the Millennial Rule of Christ? In addition, it may trace the path that the 144,000 Witnesses will take after meeting Yahshua on Mount Zion during the Great Tribulation, and the path that Yahshua will take when He comes to save Israel in the Battle of Armageddon.

Intriguingly, several Scriptures connected to the Day of the Lord mention the sounding of a great trumpet, a highway stretching from Egypt to Assyria, the city of Jerusalem, and the Lord (Yahweh) coming out of Zion to rescue Jacob or Israel:

“In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve with the Assyrians.” - Isaiah 19:23 (NKJ)

“In that day the LORD (Yahweh) will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to… Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered up… And in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypt will come and worship the LORD (Yahweh) on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.” - Isaiah 27:12-13 (NIV)

“Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD (Yahweh) brings back the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.” - Psalm 14:7 (NKJ)

“Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the LORD (Yahweh) is coming, for it is at hand: A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness…” - Joel 2:1-2 (NKJ)

“And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: ‘The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.’” - Romans 11:26-27 (NKJ) (also see Isaiah 59:20-21)

Israel as Yahshua’s Shofar or Ram’s Horn

Sacred Places Tied to Christ, the One-Horned Ram

Click to View Larger Image


Note that the first of the five Scriptures just quoted appears shortly after Isaiah’s prophetic reference to the Great Pyramid as the Altar to Yahweh “in the midst of the land of Egypt” (Isaiah 19:19). These Scriptures make it fairly clear that Zion, Egypt, Israel, Jerusalem, and Assyria are all connected to the trumpet imagery of the Bible surrounding the coming of the Day of the Lord, or the Millennial Rule of Christ. As such, they all may collectively be seen as a part of Zion, though the Pillar of Enoch seems to have been the first place on Earth labeled that way.

Another hidden meaning related to Israel as a symbolic ram’s horn trumpet is found in looking at a new constellation that has been added to the sky between Canis Major, Canis Minor, and Orion. This constellation happens to be called Monoceros, and - as shown in the second illustration on page 181 - it is within the boundaries of the triangle formed by connecting Al Nitak, Sirius and Procyon with lines. Monoceros means “One Horned” as found in a unicorn, and - as shown in Book Four - a unicorn can serve both as a symbol for Christ - and the Antichrist. It can also represent the right horn of Taurus, which is connected to the Tribe of Ephraim representing Gentile Christianity.

Now, if Monoceros were to be depicted on the Earth, its stars would signify various locales within the triangle-shaped Sinai Wilderness between Israel and Egypt. In other words, in the recent past, God saw to it that what I am revealing here would be verified and divinely acknowledged by the creation of a new constellation called “One Horned” in the bowl portion of a symbolic horn or trumpet formed by Israel’s old borders!

This suggests that Yahshua, the One-Horned Ram foreseen by Enoch - as opposed to the One-Horned Goat belonging to the Antichrist seen by Daniel - will come from Zion (i.e. the Great Pyramid) with an army of saints and angels, will go into Israel from that direction, and then will go as far as Assyria to conquer the Antichrist’s armies and re-establish the old boundaries of Israel under King David.

All of this horn and trumpet symbolism that is tied to Israel is also connected to the animal horns blown on Rosh Hashanah, or the Feast of Trumpets, and the animals sacrificed on the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur. Ideally, animals sacrificed as sin and atonement offerings sported horns. Though Yahshua did not have literal horns on His head like rams or goats, John the Baptist called our Messiah “the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world” (John 1:29).

Indeed, even the very shape of the land of Israel from the air recognizes Yahshua’s symbolic role as the One Horned Ram of Yahweh who died for our sins. In addition, the sounding of trumpets is mentioned repeatedly in connection with the Rapture of the True Church, which will likely occur before Yahshua’s Second Coming (Mat. 24:31; 1 Cor. 15:52; 1 Thess. 4:16; Rev. 4:1).

YAHSHUA’S COMING IN THE RAPTURE IS IMMINENT!

Shalom Everyone,

I pray that Yahshua will bless your day today with goodness as I share my heart with you all.

As a way of sharing my heart, let me say that I think it odd that so many people assume that the final Antichrist has to be revealed at the start of the Tribulation and before the Rapture. Because it is highly possible that he isn't going to be revealed until after the Rapture. Furthermore, the Antichrist's 42-month or 3-1/2 year reign will more likely coincide with the last three and half years of the Tribulation, not the beginning half!

Interestingly, the first of the 3 Blood Moons marking the year 2011 as the first year of the Tribulation occurred over the sword of Orion, the constellation that signifies Yahshua’s crucifixion and blood sacrifice as well as His coming as a conquering Prince. This Blood Moon may have marked the beginning of the 7-year Tribulation. This is according to the Signs in the Heavens, which are God’s Time Clock - a clock that men can’t tamper with or alter, but only misinterpret.

Besides that, 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 suggests that the one who now restrains - as in Ophiuchus, a Messiah figure representing the work of the Holy Spirit in born-again believers that keeps evil in the world at bay (and the sign in which the Blood Moon of June 15th, 2011 occurred in!) - has to be taken out of the way so that the Antichrist can be revealed and can take control.

“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” - 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8

Since the True Church is still here, we can trust Scripture that the Antichrist hasn’t been revealed yet! Furthermore, Yahshua suggested that He would end the Antichrist's reign prematurely or no life would survive his hatred, so it is doubtful that the Antichrist will be in control of the world for a full 42 months.

If this is the case, as the above Scripture suggests, this leaves plenty of room for the Rapture to occur at any time in the near future without us knowing or being able to correctly identify the Antichrist or being worried that the Tribulation hasn’t started yet.

As far as I can see, the Tribulation started on December 21st, 2010, when there was a Blood Moon over the sword of Orion, and ORION IS THE MOST POWERFUL HEAVENLY SYMBOL OF OUR CRUCIFIED AND RESURRECTED MESSIAH that I have ever had the pleasure of deciphering with the Holy Spirit’s help.

This Orion figure that signifies Yahshua shows Him coming to conquer the wicked as a serpent under His feet (because the constellation Lepus the Hare beneath Orion was once seen as a SERPENT!). Furthermore, Orion/Christ wears a belt signifying the three crosses on Calvary and He carries a sword that signifies the truth and power of God’s Word!

Fascinatingly, the constellation Orion is also playing a big role in the Sign of the Cross that has been formed in heaven by four Zodiac signs and celestial bodies this week. This Grand Cross in the heavens will be at its height on July 1st, 2011.

This is the day of the partial Solar Eclipse in Gemini, the sign signifying Yahshua being wedded to His Gentile Bride! Furthermore, Venus will be directly over the sword of Orion that day, and Venus signifies Yahshua as the Morning Star and Light of the World. As someone who is an expert in deciphering the Gospel in the Stars, I believe that this may be the Sign of the Son of Man and a sure sign that the Rapture is not far off.

REVISION:
“Why the Post Tribulation View
of the Rapture Doesn’t Make Sense”

This essay by Helena Lehman shows that there’s more than one tribulation being discussed in Matthew, Chapter 24. Yahshua calls the first one the “tribulation” or “tribulation of those days” and the second tribulation period the “great tribulation”. Helena also explains that these two tribulation periods are not concurrent but are separated by a span of time where there is a lull in intensity. This shows the fallacies behind the Post Tribulation view of the Rapture.

NEW ARTICLE:
A Gathering of Eagles - A Hidden Parable

In this article, Helena Lehman expounds on the much misunderstood and deeply mysterious passages in Matthew and Luke that speak of a body, living or dead, and the gathering of eagles or vultures around that body in connection with the Second Coming of Christ. In her deeply penetrating probe, Helena shows that this one sentence spoken by Yahshua is a parable with profound meanings far deeper than many of His much longer parables. However, her probe also reveals that its blatant mistranslation in modern renditions of the Bible may hide a hideously sinister motive.

NEW ARTICLE:
The Rapture Connection to
the Sign of the Son of Man

In this article, Helena explains the connection of the Sign of the Son of Man with the heavenly signs that Yahshua told believers to pay attention to as the time of His coming neared. Helena particularly focuses on the possibility of a summer Rapture that may be tied to the Grand Cross that will be prominent in Earth’s skies from June 26th through July 12th in 2011 and how there may be signs attached to both the First Rapture and Second Rapture as well as Yahshua’s actual Second Coming that may be intimately tied to the constellation Orion.

“The Rapture Connection
to the Sign of the Son of Man”
http://pillar-of-enoch.com/essays/index.html#Son-of-Man

--------------------------------------

I am NOT claiming that the Rapture will be on July 1st, but that it may very near to this time in heavenly terms. Besides that, the major floods, fires, fissures, sinkholes, hail, earthquakes, nuclear and other disasters hitting this planet in rapid succession ever since 12-21-2010 are proof enough for me that the Tribulation has indeed already begun!

And so I say “Maranatha!” with confidence that the Rapture will be very, very soon!

Yahshua’s coming in the Rapture is imminent, even at the door!

Keep Looking UP!

With Love from Helena

A Dire Prophetic Dream and Obama’s Actions
Against Israel Warn of Impending Doom for the USA

By Helena Lehman of
The Pillar of Enoch Ministry
http://pillar-of-enoch.com
May 20th, 2011

On the morning of May 19th, a dear friend in the Lord shared a very personal prophetic dream that her daughter had. Though many of the details of the dream are too private to be shared, the dream did clearly indicate that portions of the United States are about to meet with the destruction of some populated cities and military bases - and that this may be done with nuclear weapons. In addition, this dream indicates that we will likely not be taken in the Rapture immediately before this destruction begins, but will have to live through the initial stages of it.

If this prophetic dream is true, then there is very little time left for Americans to prepare for these impending catastrophes by stockpiling food and water. In fact, the seems likely that the reason why my friend was led by God’s Spirit to share this dream is that this destruction could happen within the last weeks of May! So, if you have not made preparations yet, now is the time to get ready to face empty store shelves, the temporary or permanent loss of electrical power and sanitation services in areas that are the hardest hit, and Martial Law after this grave attack on the USA is carried out.

Despite the fact that many Americans may have to suffer through some rough times ahead, I am hopeful that those like myself who are born-again and anxiously awaiting Yahshua’s return for us in the Rapture will not have much longer to wait after the trouble begins. This is because of the amazing Signs in the Heavens surrounding the Central Lunar Eclipse or Blood Moon on June 15th this year and the fact that the Feast of Pentecost is three days before that eclipse. Furthermore, as revealed in my 2010 article entitled “Come Up Here and Come Away”, Pentecost is tied to the First Rapture, while the Feast of Trumpets is tied to the Second Rapture.

Now that I have relayed the warning of impending attack in this dream and what it implies, let me share a link that I put up at Facebook on May 19th with the following caption:

“In Light of This News, Look for God's Judgment on America! Prepare for Emergencies ASAP! Pray That You Will Be Taken in the Rapture!”


Yahoo News Article Title: Obama lays out U.S. vision for supporting Arab democracy, resolving Israeli-Palestinian conflict:

Link: http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theenvoy/20110519/ts_yblog_theenvoy/obama-lays-out-u-s-vision-for-supporting-arab-democracy-resolving-israeli-palestinian-conflict

This article explains that President Obama is planning to force Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel to agree to divide Jerusalem to create a Palestinian state in fulfillment of Bible Prophecy! As it says in Psalm 108 in reference to this creation of a Palestinian State in the midst of Israel:

Psalm 108:7 - “God has spoken in His holiness: ‘I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem and measure out the Valley of Succoth.’”

Do you understand what this means? Just as Psalm 108 states, it means that Yahweh God is rejoicing in dividing Jerusalem because it means that His judgment can at last be carried out and He can do away with the wicked even while drawing Israel unto Himself. It also means that the Rapture can’t be far off because the Tribulation is about to intensify dramatically!

Whenever the details of this division of Israel is finally agreed upon, the treaty that will be signed allowing this will mark the beginning of the seven-year Tribulation. In addition, because Obama is behind this and he is the President of the United States, it not only spells impending doom for the United States, but it marks Obama as the Antichrist unless another public figure witnesses the signing of this historic evil covenant and takes a leading role in it other than Obama. As it says in Scripture:

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

Whenever this seven-year treaty dividing Israel is ratified, it may include placing a demarcation zone on the Temple Mount that will divide the mount in two so that the Jews can rebuild their Temple to Yahweh on the part of the mount that is given to them. This dividing marker may be the “abomination that causes desolation” mentioned in the above Scripture. However, the Book of Revelation also mentions the fact that the False Prophet will perform miraculous signs and will then declare that the Beast or Antichrist is a god that must be worshiped:

Revelation 13:13-15 - “He (i.e. the False Prophet) performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast (i.e. the Antichrist), telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.”

In light of this Scripture, it is possible that this image of the beast is the abomination of desolation and that it will be set up either on the Temple Mount or within the rebuilt Temple upon it. Yahshua quoted the Book of Daniel in regard to this. However, Yahshua gives details surrounding the abomination that causes desolation not mentioned in the Book of Daniel:

Matthew 24:14-16 - “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.”

Yahshua reveals that this abomination will be set up in “the holy place.” Now, though this holy place may allegorically be referring to the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit within our hearts as some suppose, it is far more likely that this is referring to the setting up of an idol within a religious sanctuary. It is also interesting to note that the Desert Tabernacle and Jerusalem Temples to Yahweh both had a Holy Place that faced the entrance to the Most Holy Place which was the heart of the Temple where the Ark of the Covenant containing Moses’ Stone Tablets were placed.

Regardless of what the “Abomination of Desolation” is, however, Yahshua warned that those in Jerusalem should flee to the surrounding mountains, thereby intimating that the Israelis should expect to be attacked and see some destruction to the land of Israel after this abomination is set up. This suggests that Israel will not be fully protected and will suffer from some destruction and loss of life during the Tribulation.

Nonetheless, God’s ultimate purpose in bringing calamity to Israel is a beautiful one. This is because, even though God must break the pride of the Jews enough for them to repent before Yahweh, this will lead to their recognition of Yahshua as the Son of God Who is worthy of worship as well as praise for being their greatest Messiah, Kinsmen Redeemer and Avenger of Blood of all time.

Hallelu-Yah for Yahshua's return to set up His Kingdom on Earth, which is quickly approaching! Even so, I cry out “Maranatha!”, meaning "Come Adonai Yahshua"!

The Prophetic Significance of the New Christchurch Quake


Map of Christchurch, New Zealand


I wanted to share this conversation that I had with several strong believers on Facebook this morning concerning the devastating new Christchurch quake in order to warn and encourage you to seek God's face and to notify everyone you know that Yahshua is coming soon and those who are not in a good relationship with Him will suffer greatly this coming year. We need to repent and rely on and trust in Yahshua more than ever right now.

Maranatha!

Yours Sister In Yahshua,

Helena Lehman's Facebook Wall Comment Thread from February 22nd, 2011:

Helena Lehman - With all the prophetic significance that was attached to the Christchurch quake of 2010 by various people, there must be a deeper meaning to this far more devastating quake in terms of loss of human life and in the name of the place. Does anyone have any impressions about this quake that they would like to share with me?

Quake in New Zealand kills at least 65, traps dozens
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/ap_on_re_as/as_new_zealand_earthquake

A powerful earthquake struck one of New Zealand's biggest cities Tuesday at the height of a busy workday, toppling tall buildings and churches, crushing buses and killing at least 65 people in one of the country's worst natural disasters.


Helena Lehman - I now have the strong impression that this quake is a sign that God is not pleased with the response of His church to all the warning signs that His Wrath and the Rapture are imminent, and it is also a sign that some who think they are in "Christ's Church" will perish for lack of spiritual knowledge and a real relationship with Christ.


Joseph - my Pastor told us on Sunday that we are in for perilous times...that this year would be a two edged sword...those of us who embrace holiness and one mindedness with God will be blessed, those of us who continue to use the blood of Jesus as... Ajax to cleanse us from how we continually disobey Him will experience judgment...this is NO TIME to mess with the grace of God...this is the 11th year, and the number 11 means manifested judgment...so far this yr on the 11th of each month BIG things have happened...Jan 11-49 of the 50 states had snow, and in Greenland the sun, which was supposed to rise from the long winter night on Jan 13, rose 2 days earlier on you guessed it , Jan 11...on Feb 11 Greece's economy collapsed overnight! Every 11th of each month will bring a new earth shattering event culminating on 11/11/11. God is moving...the earth pains like a woman in travail are happening! Time to look up repent and stop doing our habitual sin that so easily besets us ...this is NO TIME TO fool around and tamper with God's grace...it can run out. Prophet Carn said that God has withheld his judgment on America that was supposed to happen around Christmas but that it will happen. We as a nation need to repent and turn back to God quickly! This will be the year like no other.


Workers Searching for Survivors at CTV Building


Carrie - I think it may also speak to the shaking that Christ's Church is going to be going through, many will learn that in order to walk with Him, we must do the works that He did, and all those tongue talkin' faith healers may have more truth than they have realized. A lot of vain traditions will fall away as Truth is revealed.


Helena Lehman -‎@ Joseph and Carrie, Thanks so much for your valuable input. Surprisingly, I posted what God showed me about the quake just before you, as you were both likely writing your responses! What you have shared aligns well with what God showed me this morning upon arising and being confronted with the quake again. I am in strong agreement with Joseph's word and Carrie's also gives me the impression it is a true word of knowledge from the Holy Spirit. Oh my Adonai Yahshua! Have mercy on us and show us all Your will and help us to warn others that Your judgment is nearly at hand! Amen!


Carrie - Yes, and Amen! Helena it has been very rare that I will go out and make a comment like that, but I am learning more and more to have boldness in what God is showing me, not being afraid to say what is on my mind because that is how He speaks - we have to start acting like we have the Spirit of the Living God inside of us, what do we think He meant when he said "Let your Light so shine among men"? Not only do must we show those who have never heard, and there are many, but many who would claim to be part of His church just don't have the intimacy with Him that empowers us ~ the whole earth is groaning for the sons of God to be revealed!


Loretta - Major Earthquake...just MORE validation we are getting closer to seeing the Lord. And, its no coincidence that it hit CHRIST'S CHURCH .So many so called Christian Church's are in denial...they are lukewarm....Yahshua's own words in Matthew ...24 ..there will be Earthquakes in divers places. Markers, so to speak that point to his coming. Also ,I feel Earthquakes are markers that point to something awesome happening , like when there was a great earthquake when Yahshua was crucified and the veil in the Temple was torn ! There was a GREAT Earthquake then too ! Halleluyah ! And, after that Earthquake ..graves were opened up ...and dead bodies were alive again and seen by many witness'. Earthquakes are VERY significant ! And, its sad when you hear believers say.."yeah, but we have always had earthquakes...." . They miss the signs Yahshua himself told us to look for



Joseph - only the hard hearted will deny what is happening...they will say it is coincidence...but we know better...we are going to see the humanistic spirit get judged like never before...it has crept into the churches and causing people to deny God's power and explain away the miraculous...let them...this is the beginning of sorrows as Jesus said...just u watch!


Susan - Helena, I had that same impression....


Toppled Christchurch Anglican Cathedral


Gina - The toppling of the Cathedral's spire may be very significant; especially considering the amazing details showing how the Lord supernaturally protected Christchurch from the previous 7.0 EQ back in September.

"Witnesses said the quake destroyed the iconic stone Christchurch Cathedral, its spire toppled into a central city square.."

For details of His supernatural protection see:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/09/is-rapture-just-days-away.html

Your summation sounds right on target Helena!


Mike - Also the changes they made since the quake last year were only external changes, he is looking for changes in our hearts of our love and commitment to him. He wants total and absolute surrender. This is a warning, if it is not heeded, woe to the nations of the earth.....

Warnings From God: The First Two Major Heavenly Signs of 2011

By Helena Lehman
Of the Pillar of Enoch Ministry (POEM)
http://pillar-of-enoch.com


With two major heavenly signs occurring on January 4th, 2011, it would be safe to say from a Sacred Astronomical perspective that this day is an important one in the eyes of God, who created the Universe and calibrated the timing of every heavenly sign. This may especially be true because of the striking Blood Moon that formed above the sword of Orion on the eve of the Winter Solstice on December 21st, 2010, which I believe may have signaled the beginning of the terrible Tribulation period spoken of the Book of Revelation. Viewing an illustration of the January 4th 2011 signs in my Starry Night Program, my eyes were first drawn to the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction in Pisces.

Shortly after midnight on January 4th, the Messiah Planet Jupiter and the Planet Uranus signifying the Bride of Christ will meet for the third time in six months in an extremely rare conjunction of the two planets in the sign of Pisces representing the Two Houses of Israel. Due to the fact that the Ephraimite fish of Pisces signifying the True Church can be viewed as riding on the back of the constellation Pegasus the Flying Horse, it may signify the Rapture of the True Church, thereby amplifying the meaning of the two planets riding piggy-back on the Ephraimite fish that signify our Messiah and His Bride! This sign, which recently occurred two previous times on June 6th and September 18th, 2010, will be followed by a partial Solar Eclipse centered in the Messianic Zodiac sign Sagittarius, the Archer. At the time of the Eclipse, the planet Mars and the planetoid Pluto will also be in Sagittarius, the sign signifying Yahshua coming to conquer the Devil and his demonic hordes signified by the neighboring sign of Scorpio the Scorpion.

Fascinatingly, Mars is not only a spiritual symbol of Yahshua’s blood that was shed on the Cross for our sins, but can also mark a time when there will be much bloodshed among the wicked in general. Could the fact that Mars will be close to the Sun and Moon as they meet in Sagittarius at the same time that Jupiter and Uranus are in conjunction in Pisces over the Ephraimite fish signifying born-again believers in the Gentile Churches be a sign that the Rapture may occur at the same time that a major, possibly nuclear war is about to break out somewhere on the Earth? Though this Rapture and war scenario may not happen on January 4th, it could happen anytime now as Iran, backed by Russia, shakes its fist at Israel and the United States - and North Korea, backed by China, threatens South Korea and the United States.

Interestingly, there are two more watery Zodiac Signs between Pisces the Fishes and Sagittarius the Archer. These are Aquarius the Water-Bearer and Capricorn the Goat-Fish. In previous writings I have shown that these two signs figure prominently in the Noah’s Flood story. This is due to the fact that the fish decan constellation of Aquarius called Piscis Australis (or Austrinus) signified the great ship or Ark that Noah built to save a portion of Earth’s terrestrial life.

Aquarius and Piscis Australis are also likely indicative of what Yahshua meant when He said that He would only give those who sought a sign “the Sign of Jonah.” This is because the same celestial fish, Piscis Australis, can signify the big fish that swallowed Jonah while Aquarius and the neighboring sign of Capricorn can signify the temporary forgiveness of sin offered to Nineveh when its citizens repented of their sins in sackcloth and ashes after listening to Jonah’s decree of judgment against them in the name of Yahweh. Meanwhile, the water pouring out of Aquarius’ urn signifies the waters of the Great Flood and the dying goat portion of Capricorn signifies the sinfulness of mankind while its fish tail signifies the compassion, mercy and salvation that Yahweh gave to the righteous man Noah and his family. For this reason, Aquarius also signifies the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that becomes available to everyone who accepts Yahshua as their Messiah. Since the Holy Spirit didn’t become available to believers until Yahshua died on the Cross and rose from the dead, this is what Yahshua was referring to when He said He would give mankind the Sign of Jonah.

Due to the meanings of Aquarius and Capricorn, and the fact that they are tied directly to the land continents of North and South America (as shown in my book “The Language of God in History”), I find it more than peculiar that the planet Neptune will lie exactly in the middle between these two signs on January 4th. Curiously, Neptune is also tied to Noah, who was sadly deified as the gods Neptune and Uranus (just to name a few) by the Pagan Classical civilizations. Physically, the planet Neptune shares a few things in common with Uranus - its nearest celestial neighbor. First of all, neither planet can be seen without the aid of a telescope, suggesting that they are symbolic of the mysteries of God spoken of in the Bible. Secondly, both planets are bluish-colored gas giants at least 15 times the mass of Earth. Thirdly, both planets have many moons.

Significantly, Neptune has thirteen known moons. One of them - Triton - is more massive than any of its other moons. In this regard, Neptune’s moons are suggestive of our original Solar System, with Triton signifying our Sun, which in turn represents Yahshua. Meanwhile, the other twelve moons of Neptune can signify the Twelve Apostles and/or Twelve Tribes of Israel that represent the worldwide followers of Christ. This makes Neptune almost as strong a symbol of the Bride of Christ as Uranus with its five largest moons signifying the five wise virgins in the Parable of the Ten Virgins.

Though Neptune can represent the righteous, however, it has a dual side suggested by the Trident symbol signifying this planet that bears a striking resemblance to the pitchfork often seen in depictions of Satan as a beastly-looking man with the cloven hooves and horns of a goat. Sadly, however, just as the righteous Sethites and Semites were depicted as evil Giants or Nephilim by the Pagan Greeks while the descendants of Cain, Ham, Cush and Nimrod were seen as good deities, the depictions of Neptune and Satan with a Trident or Pitchfork were also attempts to demonize Noah as an evil god.

Regardless, I find it most peculiar that a planet so clearly tied to Noah and his righteous line through Shem - who gave birth to the ancestors of the Jews - figures so prominently in the heavens on January 4th, 2011. Could it be that this is a sign among signs that the time that Yahshua spoke about as being just as in the days of Noah are finally upon us? Could the First Rapture and seven-year Tribulation be imminent?

Perhaps not so coincidentally, there has been massive amounts of rain, flooding and mud slides going on this winter in many parts of California and Australia, and record cold temperatures and snow falls in many other regions of the world including most of Europe, the United Kingdom, the American Midwest and the Eastern seaboard. In addition, on January 3rd, 2011, a strange die-off of thousands of birds and many thousands of drum fish in the State of Arkansas were reported in the news, and - as shown in my book “The Language of God in History”, both fish and birds have a symbolic tie to Noah and his son Shem. Furthermore, at the time of Noah’s Flood, all terrestrial life and most of the aquatic life in rivers and lakes were destroyed except for the life preserved in the Ark, and this wild-life die-off occurred in a State called Ark-ansas! Is that just a coincidence, or is God trying to tell those who are seeking Him something important? Search your heart for the answers!

Adding to this phenomenon, there have been reports of bird and fish die-offs all around the world. Since the Arkansas events, hundreds of dead starlings and blackbirds were also found littering the ground in Louisiana and Kentucky, 70 bats were found dead in Arizona, and an estimated 2 million fish have washed up in Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. In addition, there was an unexplained die-off of hundreds of birds in Sweden and hundreds of fish in New Zealand. Finally, 100 tons of dead sardines, croaker and catfish have reportedly washed up in Brazilian fishing towns since just before New Year’s Eve. The cause of all of these deaths is unknown, though many conspiracy theories involving secret government weapons such as HAARP and cries that the end of the world is upon us are flooding the internet news sites. Though these die-offs were all within the past week, there was also a huge die-off of millions of birds, fish, frogs and alligators floating down Brazils rivers this past August 2010, when an unprecedented and deadly cold front moved into parts of several semi-tropical regions of South America, killing untold numbers of animal life, trees and plants from the freezing temperatures over several days time.

Furthermore, for the past two days, the Sci-Fi channel here in the Chicago area has been airing re-runs of the original TV series “V” in anticipation of the first episode of the second season of the new “V” series that will be aired on the evening of January 4th. In addition, just as “V” depicts these hostile alien lizard creatures that mean to take over the Earth, the Earth of Noah’s day was overrun with several manufactured giant lizard-like races called the Nephilim that also lorded it over mankind and brought death and destruction to humanity. Why this remake of “V” is especially unsettling is that some Bible Prophecy teachers including Lynn Marzulli, Chuck Missler, myself believe that the Nephilim and the Fallen Watchers may return during the Tribulation period in order to deceive mankind by claiming to be the source of humanity’s origins and the origin of the world’s religions.

Fascinatingly, January 4th happens to fall two days before the Christian Feast of Epiphany, which celebrates the coming of the Wise Men to see the toddler Yahshua in Bethlehem. In addition, Epiphany falls on the first day of the eleventh month called Shevat on the Jewish Civil Calendar. The first day of Shevat is a symbolic triple one or 111. This is a number or number sequence that has figured prominently in many people’s godly prophetic visions and dreams as of late, and I wrote an article that featured this trend back in 2008 called “The Amazing Sun Square Prophecy and the Heavenly Signs Heralding the Rapture” that I recently updated to reflect some exciting new information. If interested, you can read that article here:

http://pillar-of-enoch.com/essays/index.html#SunSquare

Could these ominous signs among signs be an indication that the peace and safety that almost every Western secular leader has been calling for on this Earth these days is about to evaporate before it ever had a chance to begin? Could thee signs be pointing to the soon fulfillment of the desire that lies within every born-again believer to be with Yahshua forever? Only time will tell, but for now, one thing is certain: Now is the time for all repentant people to draw near to Yahshua and seek Him for salvation and forgiveness. Now is the time for all the moral fence-sitters to choose a side and decide whom they will serve. They can choose either an eternity spent with Yahweh God in the light-drenched realms of a New Heaven and New Earth or an eternity spent in darkness with Satan, who will one day be separated from God and His light and love forever.

Soon there will come a time when the choice to be forgiven, saved and protected by Yahweh God and His Son Yahshua will no longer be open to anyone, so don’t wait! Choose now! Because if you wait, instead of being preserved like Noah and his kin - who were protected in the Ark - you may be left behind in the Rapture and could perish - just as all the wicked people and Nephilim did in the waters of the Flood.

To learn more about the many Signs in the Heavens and on the Earth that have occurred or will occur in the years 2010 through 2018, which may be tied to the prophesied seven-year Tribulation and Second Coming of Christ, please read my book: “The Language of God in Prophecy.” All of my books are on sale now at Amazon.com and in the Pillar of Enoch Ministry bookstore at http://pillar-of-enoch.com/bookstore/.

In a few days, I hope to have another article finished that will discuss the meaning behind several more Signs in the Heavens that may have a highly significant meaning for believers awaiting the Rapture and the return of Christ. So stay tuned for more!

Article and Commentary: I Can Hardly Wait! by Heidi Swander

Shalom Everyone,

Despite all of my current personal and ministry-related problems and the uncertainty about whether or not I will be able or willing to continue with this ministry or will continue to feel a need to move on, one conviction and expectation remains: I am eagerly awaiting the return of our Adonai Yahshua Ha Mashiach and can't wait to be transformed and swept up into the heavenly realms by His angels and the power of the Ruach Ha Kodesh or Holy Spirit in the Rapture.

I am also saddened that so few of the people in my family or among my childhood friends has any expectation of our Messiah's return. Nor are they eagerly awaiting the Millennial Kingdom of God on Earth. Instead they are caught up in the pleasures and distractions that the world offers and are not ready or eager to go to be with Yahshua at any moment. From my present view within the Kingdom of God, I consider this to be a tragic state of affairs.

In some cases, we may have witnessed to the lost people we know countless times, all to no avail. But while we are still on this side of the Rapture and even beyond that, there is still hope that these lost sheep will eventually find their way back into the arms of their loving Creator and His Son. For this reason, all of us who are eager to go home to be with our Adonai need to continually pray for those we know who are stubbornly resisting the call to follow Christ. We need to pray that they will stop refusing to relinquish their love of carnal pleasure in order to die to the world and live for Christ.

In this regard, I am always heartened when I read the writings of someone who feels the same way - joyful, eager, expectant, and desirous - that I do about the return of our Messiah. In the newsletter entry below from the Olive Tree Views ministry, Heidi Swander eloquently voices her own joyful expectation in going home to be with Yahshua and her sorrow in finding out that some of her Christian friends don't share her eagerness. I hope you enjoy this article and can relate to it as much as I did, and will share it with your friends and family.

Maranatha!

Yours in Yahshua,
Helena Lehman

I Can Hardly Wait!
by Heidi Swander
http://www.olivetreeviews.org

December 30, 2010

I went out to dinner with a couple of girlfriends a while back and the conversation easily slipped into world events and how dire the forecast looks economically, socially, politically, etc. Finally I burst out excitedly: "Goin' Home!" (This has become a trademark of mine. When I see the rapid decline of so much in our world, the increase of earthquakes, the decline of the church, the rapid descent into socialism -- it reminds me that the hour is late, and that reminds me that Jesus promised to come and get me!). In response, one of my girlfriends smiled wryly. I said, "Jesus could come back and get us tonight!" to which she replied, "Oh, Jesus could come back tonight, but I doubt it."

My heart wrenched. It wasn't that I believed it any less. It was grief I felt that she, for all her lip service to the imminence of the Lord's return for His bride, very obviously wasn't anticipating Him, let alone waiting with bated breath. And I wondered: How many does she represent in Christendom? How many Christians say they are waiting for Jesus to rapture us out of this world and take us Home, but in practice they evidence a lack of belief because they don't anticipate it moment-by-moment? And their lack of joy reflects it.


Get all excited!

In speaking to the Philippians of our heavenly citizenship, Paul took it for granted that his Christian readers would all be greatly anticipating the return of Jesus Christ. He said, "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ," (Phil. 3:20). Did you get that? Eagerly wait -- that's what he said. Of this verb, John MacArthur in his study Bible says, "The Greek verb . . . expresses the idea of waiting patiently, but with great expectation."

Paul used this same Greek verb in I Corinthians 1:7 when he wrote to the Corinthian church, "So that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of Jesus Christ." In this context, the whole scope of the second coming -- from the rapture through His second coming just prior to the set up of His millennial kingdom -- appears to be in view.

And then there's Paul's letter to the church at Rome. In chapter 8 Paul discusses how all of creation is groaning in anticipation of its transformation back into what God originally intended. And in that context he says, ". . . we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body [the rapture] (8:23). Yep, he used the same word Greek word again.

But Paul isn't the only one who addresses this. When writing to "the saints scattered abroad" in II Peter, the Apostle Peter admonished the believers that their conduct should be holy and they should be "looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God," (II Peter 3:11-12). Of this verb - "hastening", Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible says, ". . . by implication, to await eagerly."

So you see, God expects us -- as a matter of course -- to eagerly anticipate our Home-going. I looked up the word, "eager" in my American Heritage Dictionary and here's what it said: "Intensely desirous of something; impatiently expectant." Reality check: Are you intensely desirous and patiently (or impatiently) expectant for Jesus Christ to return to take you Home?


Do you love it?

As Paul was preparing to be martyred for Jesus, he eloquently spoke of looking back to a life lived in obedience to God and looking forward to his Home-going. He specifically said that not only he, but all those who "love" Christ's appearing, would receive a crown of righteousness. The word "love" used here connotes passion. And my faithful dictionary gives a description that seems to match the context very well: "A strong enthusiasm. To like or desire enthusiastically." Reality check: Do you enthusiastically, passionately desire for the Lord to come back and take us Home?


Another perspective

Let's look at this from a different perspective: a wedding - specifically, a Jewish wedding. In John 14:2-3, Jesus alluded to a Jewish wedding when He said, "In my Father's house are many mansions . . . I go to prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also."

In his article, "Pattern is Prologue: The Rapture, Part 2", Chuck Missler does a wonderful job of outlining a Jewish wedding, upon which Jesus' promise to us was predicated. The analogies between the stages of a Jewish wedding and Jesus returning for His church are so numerous that I get excited! I hope you'll read Chuck's article, but let me quote just a portion of it here so you can see what I mean:

Once the bridegroom paid the purchase price, the marriage covenant was established, and the young man and woman were regarded as husband and wife. From that moment on, the bride was declared to be consecrated or sanctified -- set apart -- exclusively for her bridegroom. As a symbol of the covenant relationship that had been established, the groom and bride drank from a cup of wine over which the betrothal had been pronounced.

After the marriage covenant was established, the groom left his bride at her home and returned to his father's house, where he remained separated from his bride for approximately 12 months.This afforded the bride time to gather her trousseau and prepare for married life.

During this period of separation, the groom prepared a dwelling place in his father's house to which he would later bring his bride. At the end of the period of separation, the bridegroom came -- usually at night -- to take his bride to live with him. The groom, the best man, and other male escorts, left the father's house and conducted a torch-light procession to the home of the bride. Although the bride was expecting her groom to come for her, she did not know the time of his coming. As a result, the groom's arrival was preceded by a shout, which announced her imminent departure to be gathered with him.

Can you imagine the anticipation of the bride as she waited for her groom to return? We in the Western world look forward with excitement to our wedding day -- and we know when that wedding day is. Imagine not knowing. Imagine that you get engaged and then your fiancé (groom) goes off and you don't even see him for 12 months or so while he's building a house! No dates. No letters. No phone calls. No emails. You just wait, and you wait with joy, anticipation and excitement imagining the new life you will live together!

That is the enthusiasm with which God wants us to await the return of His Son for us. Reality check: Is this a picture you and your eagerness as you wait for Jesus to return to take us Home?


What we're anticipating

It's tough to look forward to something when you have no idea what you're anticipating. I'm sure our Jewish bride had at least an inkling of the future -- basis family and societal tradition -- and she had personally met her groom face-to-face. So I thought I'd give you a little taste from Scripture of what we're in for when our Bridegroom comes to get us:

We will be changed. Remember that "redemption of the body" I referred to earlier? Paul covers that in great detail in I Corinthians 15:35-55. And John mentions it in I John 3:2. We will be like Jesus! Let's cover a few things this means for us:

1. An incorruptible body -- it won't get sick and it will never age or decay

2. Immortality -- we will never, ever die

3. No more sin nature -- not only will we not sin; we won't even be tempted to sin

4. Not limited to the space/time continuum -- there are many more dimensions than the three or four with which we are familiar

5. We will be like Jesus -- we will have His nature and a body that functions like His resurrected body

We have an inheritance already prepared for us, and we will receive it (I Peter 1:4)! We don't know all this entails, but some of the things in our inheritance include: Eternal life (Mark 10:17); the Earth (Matt. 5:5); a kingdom (Matt. 25:34); a blessing (I Peter 3:9); a dwelling place of our own (John 14:1-3); and a beautiful, breathtaking city (Heb. 11:10; Rev. 21:1-22:5)

We will reign with Jesus. This encompasses both the millennium and eternity (Rev. 5:10; Rev. 22:3-5). Reign. Let that word sink in. We will be the government under the auspices of Jesus Christ Himself who will reign supremely from Jerusalem!

Are you excited yet?


Present benefits

Yeah, Heidi. I see your point . . . I'm getting excited. But what good does it do for me to get so excited about His return? Answer: It sanctifies you.

As I mentioned earlier, the Apostle John wrote of the wonderful truth that when Jesus is revealed -- when He comes for us -- we will become like Him in nature. Then John says, "And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure," (I John 3:3). If we think He may show up at any minute, it behooves us to live every day in a way that will please Him - in case today is the day!

Here's what John MacArthur says in his study notes to this verse: "Living in the reality of Christ's return makes a difference in a Christian's behavior. Since Christians someday will be like Him, a desire should grow within the Christian to become like Him now."

And here's something else it does in the here-and-now according to that same verse: It gives us hope. Hope that no matter what crummy situation we find ourselves in here on Earth, there's a better day coming! We can endure anything if we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that our future -- our eternal future -- is everlastingly bright!

Hope. That's a topic for another day, because when the Bible uses the word "hope" it's a sure thing. Just like the fact that Jesus will come to take us Home -- God willing in the very near future. I can hardly wait! Can you?

Always looking up!

Can It Be, by Ron Graham and Come Up Here, by Helena Lehman

Shalom and Happy Chanukah!

Even before I finished reading the article below entitled "Can It Be" by Ron Graham, I knew I would want to pass it on.

It confirms so much of what I have been feeling lately, that perhaps we will be in Heaven before the spring of 2011, and we may have a winter wedding in Heaven, and not a summer bash at all.

The heavenly and earthly signs are all loudly proclaiming that we are very, very close to going home to be with Yahshua. Hallelu-Yah for that, because I am truly weary of this world. Aren't you too?

Enjoy the article and please pass it on! Oh, and please share the link to my revised "Come Up Here!" article at the end of Ron's article.

I want as many people as possible to benefit from seeing all the heavenly proofs that the Rapture and Tribulation are coming soon. Just keep in mind that the article is big because of all the high-quality illustrations in it. As a result, it takes a long time to download on computers with slower internet connections.

Maranatha! Keep Looking Up!

Can It Be

By Ron Graham

http://www.raptureready.com/featured/graham/g154.html

----------------------------------

Prophecy “experts” have always had their divided end time’s opinions. Many have placed precise dates on when the Rapture of the Church will occur - and all have been disappointed. All those dates have come and gone, yet the Church is still here. The latest prophetic scenario is not so much focusing on an exact date, but on a period of time prior to a specific year, 2012.

Can it be that God has given us a more precise insight into when the Rapture will occur? Will it occur prior to the year 2012? We may all find that scenario both interesting as well as provocative. I’ve done a little research, well both my wife and I, and have found that just about every prediction of future cataclysmic occurrences culminate in 2012. Even little things that don’t mean much to the casual observer will, according to the reports we read, come to fulfillment by 2012. I’m not talking about the Mayan calendar coming to an end, but actual real time events that are to come to an end in that year. They are too numerous to mention, and to be honest we haven’t actually recorded them in a journal or anything like that. But we get a real kick every time something pops up claiming fulfillment in 2012, enough so that we both believe something of significance could be on the horizon for the year 2011.

Just about every end time’s biblical prophecy centers on the nation of Israel, once again becoming a fully established nation, and living in the land God gave them. Way back in the book of Deuteronomy, Moses gives us a prophecy about the nation of Israel being scattered (Deuteronomy 4:25-27) and of their rebirth as a nation in the last days (Deuteronomy 4:30). The prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Amos give us similar scenarios. Regarding the return of the Jews to their own land, this latest prophetic scenario is no different as it too centers on Israel.

The re-gathering of the Jewish people into the land God gave them is still going on today. In 1948 the Jewish people became, once again and for the final time, a sovereign nation, being fully recognized as such even by the United Nations. Today it’s hard to find a nation, other than Israel itself, who would admit publically that the Jewish people belong in the land which they now occupy. The latest prophetic rapture related scenario adds one generation to the year of Israel’s rebirth in 1948 (according to Psalm 90:10 and Isaiah 23:15 a generation is 70 years). Using this approach we’re catapulted into the future to the year 2018. Of course we must then subtract Daniel’s prophesied 70th week (7 years) and we can see that the year 2011 is definitely a focal year. Can it be?

To establish a foundation for this newest prophetic scenario for the timing of the rapture of the Church, we need to go back two thousand years to the time of Jesus’ earthly ministry. In the Gospel of Matthew in chapter 24, we find Jesus in the midst of explaining the end time’s events to His Jewish disciples. Something many Bible commentators miss is the fact that our Lord never mentions His Church during this meeting. Might we conclude then that the Church will not see the unfolding of the events Jesus describes?

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” Matthew 24:36. This verse is constantly being misinterpreted as referring to the Rapture of Christ’s Church. The admonition that no man can know the day or the hour is actually referring to the day and the hour of His Second Advent. When Jesus physically returns and sets His feet on planet earth a second time it will be sometime after the tribulation, but no one knows just exactly when that will be (day or hour). The above verse has nothing whatsoever to do with the Rapture. Jesus is referring to those people who’ve rejected His free gift of salvation and who have entered into, and will be going through, the Tribulation. His Church is excluded from that event. How do I know? “And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.” 1 Thessalonians 1:10.

“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,”Mark 13:3. Jesus begins His discourse in this private meeting by answering a couple of questions put to Him by His disciples. He then begins to focus in on the difficulties the last days Jewish population will be faced with just prior to His return. Jesus’ focus is on the re-birth of Israel, as well as some interesting signs that will be prevalent in the last days. “This generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened” Matthew 24:34. “This generation” being the generation of Jews who would witness the rebirth of their own nation, Israel. This would mark the beginning of the last days.

In verse 15 of Matthew 24, Jesus refers to the prophet Daniel and more specifically to an event (the Abomination of Desolation) which will be the catalyst that shifts somewhat normal times into what Jesus refers to as the Great Tribulation which will be filled with God’s wrath. But the 70th week that Daniel speaks about will actually begin 3 ½ years prior to the tribulation (Daniel 12:7). By the time the Abomination of Desolation occurs in the rebuilt Temple in the Holy of Holies, the Church will have been gone for some time.

Those who don’t believe in the Rapture are not anticipating Christ’s Second Advent. It’s a given that most Christian denominations, as well as many non-denominations, ignore or misinterpret the verses that clearly state a future Rapture of Christ’s Church. Therefore there is no urgency in their pulpit messages. Jesus’ Second Advent has always been looked at as something that will occur, but at some time far removed from the here and now.

So let’s all just calm down, relax, let life be what it is, right?“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.” 2 Peter 3:3-4. Most Christians don’t see the end times events unfolding because they just don’t believe God and His end times explanations. Erroneous teachings have had a severe affect on the Church.

“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Matthew 24:37-39. These verses are very important to all who would read them and understand them. They paint a vivid picture of apathy and ignorance. Many in the Church today are just as clueless as those who perished during the flood of Noah. They will not heed this clear warning from the Creator of the universe. Although the focus is on the last days Jews, they must give the rest of us pause when we realize that Jesus knew that in the last days not many would be taking His word seriously, analogous to the antediluvian period.

Right now anyone who picks up a newspaper, or listens to the nightly news reports, or reads online news sources can be fully assured that the birth pangs which Jesus spoke about in the discourse to His disciples are upon us. This tells us the Church’s earthly duration is coming to an end, and soon. Have you considered how birth pangs actually work?

Many Bible commentators of years past didn’t believe in the prophecy of the restoration of the nation of Israel, they just couldn’t see it happening. Thus they couldn’t see the birth pangs that would follow shortly after Israel’s rebirth. They simply wrote off all prophecy as having already been fulfilled. Sadly, many still don’t see it and continue to dismiss it as lunacy as they teach others to do the same.

There is very little thought given today for tomorrow. “The future is what it is” is a quote from an old movie I watched recently. That’s a somewhat true statement, but the future is fully known by God, and God alone. Believers “in Christ” must rely on His word as a focus for their lives both now and for the future. In the minds of many Christians today the rapture of Christ’s Church is an erroneous interpretation of scripture. Since they’re not looking for signs indicating the lateness of the hour, witnessing becomes a casual, almost wasteful expenditure of energy.

“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” Matthew 24:42. Even though I’m placing scripture verses in this commentary that clearly refer to the Jews of the last days and not Christ’s Church, today’s Christian are not excluded from heeding Christ’s warnings. Since the signs are obvious – easily recognizable and very near on the horizon – the shortness of the hour becomes paramount. As Christ’s followers we should all be encouraged, excited, and working.

God is at the controls and He is fully aware of the events which are occurring here on His earth. Satan too, being aware of end times signs, is in full military mode pushing to corrupt the masses and to defile the works of God. God’s word is true and we must study it more than just read it. Be assured He will give you understanding. Those of us who are in full anticipation of the coming events should also be fully entrenched in our determination to comply with Jesus’ command of spreading the Gospel.

Most Bible commentators who interpret the scriptures correctly understand that the Rapture of Christ’s Church is imminent. Whether the Rapture occurs today or in the future it is near, even at the door. We’re given God’s word on that and we are expected to believe it no matter what the naysayers believe and promote to the contrary. When God tells us that certain things are going to come to pass and then they do that’s enough proof that He means what He says. Hundreds of biblical prophecies have been fulfilled and so will the Rapture of His Church.

Proclaiming the message of the cross, at minimum as far as our little part of this world extends, means not one of our friends or family members should be ignorant of the Gospel of Christ. Even though time is running out for the Church here on earth we’re obviously still here and fully capable of spreading His Gospel and possibly making a difference in someone else’s life.

Consensus is that the year 2011 is shaping up to be quite significant for “in Christ” believers. Can it be that what we are seeing is a window opening up for the Rapture to occur? We shall all see. But one thing is sure, those who are lost cannot see.

My brothers and sisters, until the end comes we have our marching orders. Will we cower in a corner while we wait for the rapture, or boldly step up and proclaim the truth of the Gospel to a perishing world? You all know what you’re supposed to be doing – go do it.

God bless you all,

Ron Graham

FULLY REVISED: Come Up Here and Come Away! - Clues to the Timing of the Rapture -

This heavily illustrated, full-color, 35-page revised article features plenty of all-new written material and illustrations. Therefore people who have read the first and second edition should read this version from the beginning. In this article, Helena shows that the First Rapture is tied to the Feast of Shavuot or Pentecost. This article also shows evidence that there may be a Second Rapture in the middle of the Tribulation that is tied to the Feast of Trumpets. In addition, Helena points to many powerful Signs in the Heavens, thereby doing just as Yahshua warned His disciples to do when His coming drew near. These signs include the three consecutive Solar Eclipses on the 1st of AV in 2008, 2009, and 2010, the three Jupiter-Uranus Conjunctions of 2010 and 2011, the three Lunar Eclipses targeting the signs of Taurus and Scorpio in 2010 and 2011, and a few other major heavenly End Time signs that conclusively show that the Tribulation is fast approaching:

I pray that the revised article will be a big blessing to all my brothers and sisters in Yahshua around the world and will help you all to feel confident that the Tribulation is imminent and the Rapture can’t be far off either.

In the meantime, let’s all praise our heavenly Father Yahweh that His Son Yahshua is coming to rescue His Bride from the Earth very, very soon!

Blessings to you all, Maranatha, and Happy Chanukah again!

Major Revisions to "The Language of God in Prophecy":

Below are listed two links with explanatory paragraphs about the contents of two newly revised sections of my book: “The Language of God in Prophecy.”

These revisions took a great deal of time and effort, and I am totally exhausted both mentally and physically from this. So I will be taking a few days off to rest and recuperate before I finish the revisions to my Language of God book series. The hardest effort went into creating the many new illustrations and formatting them to fit in the lengthy “Come Up Here” article that contains a big section of the last chapter of the book. This section details many Signs in the Heavens that were not adequately covered or were missed entirely at the time of the last revision of the book in 2009.

My hope is to finish all of the revisions to the Language of God book series and get the revised interiors and exteriors of the books submitted for printing by Monday, December 13th, 2010. This is the cut off day for the printing and shipping of the books to be guaranteed before Christmas. Please pray for me that I will continue to maintain good health and that I will be able to finish the revisions by December 13th.

Here are the revision explanations and links. Please note that the “Come Up Here” article contains a huge revision to “The Language of God in Prophecy” and it is a big file, so it will take a long time to download onto computers with slower internet connections.


A Prophecy Hidden in the Autumn Feasts of Israel -

In this completely revised book excerpt from “The Language of God in Prophecy,” Helena relays a prophecy that is hidden in the timing of the Autumn Feasts of Israel. This prophetic word of knowledge was given to Helena during the Days of Awe in 2004 and shows how these days of fasting and repentance are tied to the coming of the Tribulation. The prophecy strongly suggests that the seven-year Tribulation will occur between 2011 and 2017, with the First Rapture possibly occurring sometime in late 2010 or the first half of 2011. In the actual book excerpt found in the third link below, an interpretation of the “Prophecy of the Seventy Generations” found in the Book of 1 Enoch is included as a foreword to the Autumn Feasts prophecy:

Did God Speak To This Six Year Old Boy? - From Rev. Charles R. Sustar

Per A Friend's Request,
Here is one of the messages I received from my friend Servant Leung in China.

I thought it very significant that the boy’s name who gave this account of an amazing vision he had that suggests that the USA may be attacked by China in 2011 is Jordan, for we can only enter the Promised Land after we too have passed through and crossed the Jordan, which allegorically relates to our death via baptism, just as entering the Promised Land signifies our re-birth in Christ’s image.

In the vision, Jordan shares many things about our new life in Heaven and on Earth as well, which is so very heartening and joyful to think about.

Maranatha!

Love and Blessings,
Helena



Re: A Dire Spiritual Warning and November 2010 Prayer Alert

Dear Helena

For your information.

Did God Speak To This Six Year Old Boy?
Rev. Charles R. Sustar

One day last spring, Joan and I were having lunch with our friends Chester and Jean Sharpe. Chester told us of a family he knew that had an unusual thing happen. When he begin to relate the event, I asked him to send the testimony to me, which he did about a week later. It was so thrilling that I wanted to share it with everyone possible! With permission, I do so now.

Jordan is a six-year-old boy who lives here in Phoenix, Arizona. I am told that he is shy and retiring-not outgoing (that is the thing that makes this so astounding). To protect him from those who would not have his best interest at heart, I will not use his last name. You may know that this is the true testimony just as his mother heard and wrote it.


Here is the testimony: April 20, 2008

Jordan and God

We went to visit my grandparents (Jordan’s great grandparents) for lunch with the family. On the way home in the car with my husband, my mother, my son Jordan(6yrs old), and my youngest son (3 yrs old). Jordan started talking about God¡¬

*Testimony*

First he said which got all of our attention. This planet will be destroyed. In2011 some things will start happening, like what I asked. There will be bombs. The armies are going to throw bombs at us, but we have things that can block bombs in the air and throw them back. Who is going to throw bombs at us I asked, China he replied. How does he even know anything about China, he is only 6 we thought? (Is he predicting a war with China in 2011?). There will be lots of volcanoes with fire coming out, floods and those twisting things, ¬what are they called mommy? I replied, Tornados? Yes, tornados, he said.

At this point we all had goose bumps and were in awe! Then Jordan said those bugs that look like ants, there will be lots of them everywhere but they will grow big and have faces. (Is he talking about the plague of the locust in the bible, but he doesn’t know what locusts are called? If you think about it, locusts enlarged kind of do look like ants) We will be scared he said, but God says it’s ok and not to be scared. He continued there will be a lion with lots of horns and fire coming out of his mouth. People will disappear and people left will be like huh? (Dismayed). There will be clones too. Clones? I said, Do you even know what clones are Jordan? Yes, he said when there is more than one of the same people. Who will be the people that are clones, I asked? Everyone, he said, after we die and go to heaven, there will be clones of all of us there and you will see and it will walk inside of your body and then there will be only one of you. (I wonder if he is talking about the Holy Spirit?)

Jordan continued saying, after the world is destroyed, the clouds will come down to the earth and God will re-grow everything on earth. God will say “trees grow” and they will grow. He will just tell just tell everything to grow back again and they listen. Everything will be new again. And God will live with us on earth. What happens to all the bad people asked his grandma? They will go with the monsters, he said. And the other good people that are already dead will open their eyes and they will Wake up, there skin will re-grow and they will getup and go to Jesus. What will heaven look like we asked?

In heaven the streets are made of gold and they are slippery (probably meaning shiny we thought). There are lots of flowers of all colors, lots of yellow flowers. There are lots of butterflies and ladybugs. Grandma asked, are we all going to live in our own houses in Heaven? Yes Jordan answered but all the houses will be connected together. There are no bad people there. Everybody is happy. The animals go to heaven too and they talk. The lions are nice. The goats are nice. The goats will sleep with the lions. Do we eat there? asked grandma. ¬Yes there is lot of food, and you can have anything you want. The trees talk too, if you want an apple all you have to do is close your eyes and ask for a apple and an apple will appear on the tree.

Anything you want in heaven, you just close your eyes and think of it and you will have it. We’re going to be invisible but not to each other. The other people who are not in heaven can’t see us. It’s like magic. Who tells you these things Jordan I asked, I just know he replied. Does God talk to you and show you these things his grandma asked, Yes, he said. He tells me I can make wishes but not for myself ¬only for other people. Your not suppose to wish for yourself. We all asked one by one are we going to heaven and he replied, if you’re good.

Was God talking through him to testify to us, did he have the Holy Spirit upon him? We do recall one thing later that night. Before eating lunch at my grandparent’s house we all formed a circle and held hands to say a prayer and my husband and me noticed Jordan went limp and fell in front of me on the ground. He then jumped up confused and got back into the circle. Maybe the Holy Ghost touched him then, or maybe that was just Coincidence. But we do believe that God was using my son to let us know that he is real and he is coming back for his people.

Well, Saint of God, what do you think about that? Did God speak to and thru this six-year-old boy?

Let’s review some of what he said: China Will Bomb Us In 2011

I gave copies of this to our congregation. A member sent a copy to John Hagee Ministries in San Antonia, Texas. A staff member read it and replied in writing that this will happen at that time during World War III.

The bible teaches us that the Earth will be destroyed by Fire. The book of Revelation says that God will cleanse the Earth by Fire and create a beautiful new Earth.

Exciting days are here!!! Jesus is Coming SOON!!!

If you feel that God Spoke to Jordan, feel free to make copies of this testimony and circulate them, especially to sinners, lost friends and loved ones.
