THE FOOLISH VIRGINS WILL SOON
SUFFER A RUDE AWAKENING!

You are welcome to disagree, but...

THE FOOLISH VIRGINS WILL SOON SUFFER A RUDE AWAKENING!

Right now, believers all over the world are suffering tribulation - especially in the Middle East. Whole congregations and towns of Christians have been wiped out or are being raped, beaten, and run out of town by Religious Radicals in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan, Somalia, and many other places in Africa, and in various Asian countries in the past few years. Meanwhile, we Westerners sit back and pretend it can't happen to us because we're so much more loved by God than those martyred believers who died so horribly, either being burned alive or beheaded, or beaten to death.

Meanwhile, if you are a Wise Virgin, you should be aware that our own US government is using our military to incite this religious violence, and they are not protecting the believers that are being slaughtered, so their blood is on our own hands. They have also made it illegal for our Christian troops to witness to others, or give the people in these foreign countries Bibles like some of them got caught trying to do. In addition, the DHS has labelled every believer in America as a potential gun slinging terrorist hell-bent on overthrowing the government, and they've built detainment camps, bought millions upon millions of rounds of hollow point bullets that explode in the body - leaving no chance of survival, and acquired guillotines and mass coffins to kill and bury those who refuse to comply to the Antichrist's coming rule, or that die in the horrific wars he plans to start.

There is also the sex and gender war being waged here and elsewhere, where it has now become a crime to openly disagree with the homosexuals, the transgendered, and the pro-choice abortionists. Christian business owners are being thrown under the bus right now and being threatened with losing their businesses if they don't comply while we sit in our living rooms thinking it can't touch us because we're going to be taken in the Rapture before it does. But the simple fact is that the Tribulation has already begun, and too many people, including many scoffing, backslidden believers, are totally asleep and could care less!

What baffles me is how anyone could still be asleep! There is ample evidence that the Tribulation has already begun in the massive increase in deadly, extreme, and severe weather of the past few years that has caused record-breaking floods, tornadoes, tsunamis, hail storms, hurricanes, blizzards, droughts, heat waves, prolonged and deadly cold-snaps, a huge increase in earthquakes and sinkholes, massive animal, bird, fish and bee die-offs, and many new and deadly pestilences.

To top it all off, there are numerous Signs in the Heavens that Yahshua told us to watch for, with many significant full Solar and Lunar Eclipses, many prophetically interesting comets, meteorite sightings, and near-miss space objects flying past Earth in the recent past, and in the upcoming near future. Meanwhile, on the Earth below, scientists are now playing God by introducing unreported and unidentified GMO food crops and animals into the human food chain that threaten all humanity when consumed, and there is also enormous worldwide economic and political instability everywhere.

Go ahead and pretend the big-name Bible Prophecy teachers are right. Listen to their lying Gospel that you are deserving of prosperity and riches, or are more special than the 25 million or more believers that died in concentration camps or in mass graves during World War I and II in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Russia, or later on in Korea, Vietnam, and elsewhere. Pretend you are better than the millions of believers all over the world today that are being persecuted, or are dying for their faith every single hour.

How many of us really care about these poor souls who die so horribly? How many of us have swamped Washington with massive protests against it? How many of us have given up some of our own riches to help the poor believers in other countries? How many of us have used media venues to sound the alarm and get other believers to wake up! Well, count me in as one of the few willing to stick my neck out and say the Bible Prophecy Teachers with their Pre-Tribulation Rapture fixation are WRONG, and we are NOT more blessed than other believers, just more complacent and asleep!

The Bible tells us that the Wrath of God isn't officially coming into play until the Sixth Seal massive Pole shift and earthquake, and I firmly believe the cataclysmic events of the past few years are a clear sign that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have already begun their rides. Wake up people, repent, and turn to Yahshua with all your heart NOW if you don't want to be left behind to suffer through far worse calamities to come! If you haven't been paying attention, Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and the United States have been rattling their sabers at one another. Meanwhile, Israel is being faced with annihilation by a potentially nuclear-armed Iran, as well as a potential conventional war on her borders shared with Syria as the Syrian civil war rages on. This means that World War III could happen at any moment. So NOW is the time to wake up and stop pretending that we can go on living as selfishly as we like and still be taken in the Rapture.

Yahshua is coming for a deeply loving and beloved Bride that adores her Bridegroom, and is eagerly awaiting His return, not a bunch of part-time disciples that spend most of their free time cavorting around in bars, or getting drunk at home parties while watching the football game, or following the entertainment world and playing video games while ninety percent of the world doesn't have a pot to pee in! If this sounds like you, it's time to REPENT of your sins with true REMORSE, and ask God for mercy and forgiveness through His Son Yahshua!

God is NOT going to be happy with a drunken whore for His one and only Son's wife! Our Heavenly Father is - first and foremost - a Father to His Son Yahshua, and He wants His Son to have a pure and spotless Bride that is worthy of Him, not a harlot that can't control her lusts! No one is expected to be perfect, but a truly redeemed sinner is baptized with the Holy Spirit, and is constantly changing inwardly in a way that will reflect outwardly. This mean that they know how to REPENT and seek God's Spirit to help them change!

If a believer in Yahshua blends into the world scene so well that no one can tell they are disciples of the Messiah, then how can they be salt and light? They are like salt that has lost its saltiness, and Yahshua warned that this salt is no good for anything except to be thrown out!

I'm sorry, but this attitude of complacency with the world and with sin in the Church makes me sick, and it makes our loving and mighty Father God sick too! That is why Yahshua said that He is soon going to spit all the lukewarm believers who are the Foolish Virgins out of His mouth, and that means that they will be left behind or cast into the outer darkness of the Great Tribulation, where there will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth!

The choice is yours. Choose this day whom you will serve! If you choose Yahshua, however, you need to show it by REPENTING of your sins, asking God for forgiveness through Yahshua. Then you need to show your change of heart by caring more for others than yourself, asking those you have hurt for forgiveness, frequently praying for yourself and others, and seeking more time to be with God instead of with your friends, or being distracted by worldly pursuits.

Before closing, I want to explain why I think the first Four Seal Judgments are already coming into play. Some people think that two or more of the Seal Judgments releasing the Four Horses of Revelation have been opened, while others don't think any of them have been opened.

Personally, I think that all four Horsemen have begun their rides, with the White, Red, Black and Pale Horses having been released by 2011, and reaching a crescendo in 2012 and 2013. I see the White Horse attached to the Messianic sign Sagittarius as the Watchmen in the Church that are heralding that the end is nearly upon us. Meanwhile, I see the Red Horse that is attached to Taurus and Orion in the dramatic increase in tensions between many nations, and the increased hatred and persecution of Christians, Jews and Israel that has spread around the world.

As for the Black Horse attached to Libra, the inflation of food prices has already begun in the USA. In fact, three years ago (in early 2011), food shortages made food prices rise dramatically even as the product amounts greatly decreased per package size, and they have stayed inflated ever since. Everything is almost twice as much as it was before, and some items such as pine nuts are so expensive that I can no longer afford to buy them.

As for the Pale Horse attached to Scorpio, I recently noticed that, if you reinterpret the two words "and with" from the last phrase of the description of the Pale Horses plagues to "even among", it says that one fourth of the beasts of the earth and people would die by the sword, by famine and plague, and there has been an unprecedented amount of animals, fish and birds - which are all beasts of the earth - dying in droves for the past few years along with people! Therefore, I believe that the affects of the Pale Horse's release should read as follows:

“When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger (malnutrition from depleted soils), with death - EVEN AMONG the beasts of the earth.” - Revelation 6:7-8

This is why I firmly believe that all four Horsemen have already begun their rides!

Maranatha! Yahshua is Coming SOON! Are you ready?

The Judeo-Christian Meaning Hidden in the Blue Moon of New Years Eve 2009

Copyright 2010 By Helena Lehman

In this second half of my original article entitled: “The Deep Spiritual Significance of the Blue Moon of New Year’s Eve 2009,” we will go even deeper into the spiritual meanings hidden in the New Year’s Eve Blue Moon - the second of two Full Moons that occurred in December of 2009. For the background needed to understand this exploration better, you might want to read the first half of the article, which can be found at the following links:

American Chronicle rendition: http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/134706

POEM Blog edition: http://pillarofenoch.blogspot.com/2010/01/deep-spiritual-significance-of-blue.html

Facebook rendition: http://tinyurl.com/ya3sf3u


In Part One of this article, we explored the connections of the constellations that the two Full Moons of December 2009 have with Israel, their Messiah, the nations which sprang from the dispersion of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, and the connection of this Blue Moon and other celestial End Time Signs that may be heralding the coming of the Tribulation and return of Christ. In this article, we will deal with the meaning of this Blue Moon for Messianic Jews and Christians who are waiting for Christ’s Second Coming.

First of all, it is important to understand that the Moon itself has a great deal of symbolic meaning on its own. Just as the hot, bright Sun that causes plants to grow signifies God the Father and the Preincarnate Yahshua, the frigid, lifeless Moon signifies Satan at its darkest phase, whereas its many intermediate phases signify sinful mankind in their various stages of spiritual growth. Allegorically, the Full Moon can signify either full blown good or full blown evil, whereas the dark side of the Moon always signifies the secret pervasiveness of evil in all its subtle and blatant forms.

Intriguingly, in the dream that the patriarch Joseph had of the Sun, Moon and eleven stars (i.e. his brothers) bowing down to him, the Moon signified Jacob’s two wives, with the illuminated side of the moon signifying Jacob’s wives Leah and Rachel and the eight sons between them while the dark side of the Moon signified the four sons born to their handmaids. The Bible tells us that Rachel produced Joseph, whose Gentile spiritual descendents are reckoned through his son Ephraim, and are thereby symbolically connected to the Tribe of Ephraim, and also to the United States of America in prophecy. Since Joseph and his descendants were showered with more material blessings than any other son of Jacob, the spiritual descendents of Joseph have become greater than all of his brothers materially as well as prophetically. Symbolically, Joseph is connected to England, but even more specifically to the United States, a one time colony of the English Monarchy.

Joseph’s brother Benjamin, however, is connected to the Jews and to Israel. This is due to the fact that the Israelites returning to rebuild Jerusalem after the Babylonian Captivity mostly came from the Tribes of Judah and Benjamin. In addition, Joseph’s mother Rachel’s handmaid Bilhah produced Naphtali and Dan - and the Antichrist may be descended from Dan. This means that the children attributed to Jacob’s loved wife Rachel have superseded those of his unloved wife Leah - almost as if God honored Jacob’s love for Rachel by blessings her sons with supremacy over all Jacob’s other spiritual and physical descendents, which number in the billions.

Now, when we take the spiritually meaningful Moon and compare its meaning to the insights hidden in the backdrop of stars, planets and constellations it travels through, much more can be discerned and understood. For example, the Blue Moon of New Year’s Eve 2009 appeared over the tip of the hour-glass shaped constellation Orion the Hunter’s upraised sword, and Orion is 1 of the 3 decans of (or constellations associated with) Taurus the Bull. Orion is a symbol for Joseph as the Vizier of Egypt, while Taurus the Bull itself can signify the descendents of Seth up to Isaac, who was prophetically identified with a bull in the Book of Enoch. Enoch allegorically connects Issac’s son Jacob with a sheep, tying Jacob to Aries the Ram.

As explained in Part One of this article, Taurus’ horns signify Joseph’s two sons Ephraim and Manasseh as well as the Gentile believers who either spiritually or literally descend from the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. Among these people, there are those who love Yahshua and follow Him, who love mercy and do justice, who care for God’s Creation, who love their neighbors, and that care for the poor and needy while sharing the Gospel of the Kingdom of God with them. On the other hand, there are those who follow the way of the Serpent or Satan, which is the path of humanism, Hellenism, and self-worship. The two horns of Taurus signify these conflicting groups, and though these horns point in the same direction, their aims are different.

The two horns of the neighboring sign Aries the Ram also signify two conflicting groups. One of these signify those righteous few who follow the Way of Yahweh and are awaiting His Son Yahshua’s return. The other horn represents those bound to the Law and mandatory good works through their lack of faith in the salvation and freedom offered by Yahshua’s Cross. This group includes legalistic Christian cults such as Roman Catholicism and Mormonism and the Hebrew Roots cult. In addition, this enormous group includes Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and every other religious group that requires doing specific “good” works to obtain salvation.

In Part One, it was noted that the Blue Moon of New Year’s Eve 2009 occurred between the signs of Gemini and Taurus over Orion’s upraised sword. Since a drawn sword is a symbol for war and destruction, this celestial sign is an omen of a coming great war and escalating conflicts in the world. First and foremost, the sign of Gemini signifies the Wedding of the Lamb of God to His Bride made up of the Two House Church of Judah and Ephraim. In stark contrast to its primary meaning, however, Gemini signifies the opposition between two pairs of prominent brothers of the Bible: Isaac and Ishmael and Jacob and Esau. This means that the trouble coming to those who form the Bride of Christ will come from the offspring of the antagonistic brothers. These were Ishmael and Esau, and their blood runs in the veins of most Arab Muslims today.

Since this Blue Moon of December 2009 literally occurred at the feet of Gemini in the heavens, it is a sign that those who are betrothed to Yahshua in marriage should definitely expect trouble and discord on Earth during the upcoming year - most likely coming from radical Islamic sources. The partial Lunar Eclipse of that Blue Moon that was visible throughout Europe is a sign that the discord and unrest between Muslims, Humanists, and Christians will first intensify dramatically in Europe.

As I mentioned in Part One, the eclipsed Full Moon of December 21st, 2010 will be visible over most of North America. This is a symbol that the unrest or war between Muslims and non-Muslims that will shake up Europe in 2010 will spread to Canada, America and Mexico by the end of 2010 and these conflicts will intensify everywhere in 2011. At this time, a prominent Muslim leader will likely rise to power and will fool the world into thinking he is the Antichrist. So, when he is defeated by another prominent political figure in Europe a while later, the European ruler will be hailed as the Messiah of the world. It is that European prince or ruler that will be the final Antichrist.

Since the many clashes of culture, religion and ideology in this current world are going to escalate dramatically very soon, those who love Yahshua need to get prepared to face conflict and persecution everywhere. Though other celestial signs positively indicate that the Rapture may occur around mid to late 2010 (I will focus on this in another upcoming article), the Rapture could be delayed until 2012. This means that everyone - even those counting on the Rapture to save them - will need to get prepared to face some hardship, persecution and deprivation for a time until our heavenly Bridegroom comes for us.

In the meantime, and in the midst of all this trouble, believers will continually be called to love the lost - including their oppressors - by telling them about the beauty of the Kingdom of God and the glory and grace of the salvation offered by Christ if they repent and believe. For this reason, besides stocking up on food, water and camping gear, now would also be an excellent time to engage in spiritual warfare through assertive prayer while memorizing key Bible verses and practicing your evangelization skills on everyone you know.

Get Ready! The End is Near!

Maranatha!
