Birth pangs

[keras]

New Zealand earthquake: it was rocking my whole bed Play! 00:56

Ha ha, I should get so lucky!
I never felt it, but neighbors say they did. What is more, I have never felt an eq. ever in New Zealand, [after 75 years] only a couple of times when I was in the Pacific Islands.

Birthpangs are one thing, but the one thing that will commence all the last days events, is Iran attacking Israel. I am watching for something that will give Iran the best chance to go for it. I see that chance as the loss of Israel's leadership. Isaiah 3:1-7

My comment

Iran [Persia] will be confederated with the Muslim states in the Middle East as a part of the kingdom of Satan's beast in the little horn of Daniel's visions who will attack Israel [Ezekiel 38]

This attack will come at the middle of the tribulation period .... then the little horn will rule over the holy land for the next 1260 days [42 months] during the second half of the 70th week decreed for Israel

Ezekiel's vision then moves from the initial attack to the battle of Armageddon at the end of the second 1260 days

The current danger of this renegade terrorist state of Iran is the development and possession of nuclear WMDs

I'm watching the world's financial situation more closely than anticipating any immediate military confrontation between nations. As described in the Revelation, I believe the Third Horseman of the Apocalypse is going to precede the rider of the Red Horse symbolizing global war. I believe a complete and total collapse of the global economy is imminent. This won't be like the 2009 recession, it's going to be like the difference between a 4.0 and a 9.5 earthquake. I'm talking about a global crash on a scale unseen in the annals of economic world history. It's going to be truly Apocalyptic.

Coincidentally, I just finished reading an article minutes ago asking why millionaires, business tycoons and politicians in America are shipping their money out of the country and buying up retreat property in New Zealand. That's right, New Zealand, and it's not because of the great climate. I did some research, and apparently in the 2009 recession, New Zealand faired much better than many other countries did around the world. I finished my research and logged onto CF.

I believe the G-20 summit in Peking China this month represents the last chance world leaders will get to act before the global recession deepens and becomes catastrophic. I also believe their efforts will fall short, because of all the sideline meetings that will take place during the summit focusing on national security interests. These sideline meetings will detract what they all came there for.

More to the point, maybe it's too late, and there's actually nothing they can do to avert the global financial crisis and the coming world war. They know it, and that's why they're all getting ready for the "Big Bug Out".

Another coincidence maybe, New Zealand also happens to be a non-nuclear country. They banned U.S. nuclear warships from entering their waters years ago.

A magnitude-5.6 earthquake – matching the strongest temblor to ever hit the state – struck north central Oklahoma Saturday morning, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

Seems like an awful lot of earthquakes recently, doesn't it ? I checked the records, and although scientists agree we are seeing a spike in activity, they claim this spike still falls into the norm of previous cyclical changes in earthquake activity and intensity. They say, spikes like this are typically followed by an interval of lesser activity.

The big question they aren't answering, is, "What does it mean if the earthquakes don't subside as they have historically, and this current spike goes straight off the charts" ? Nobody has written that article yet, but stay tuned.

 

[dysert]

I wonder how long the typical "spike" lasts.

Actually. According to the U.S. Geological Survey we are already at what should be a normal spike for 2016. About 10 major earthquakes (6.9 or greater) and one, or two 8.0 in some years is a spike. A spike period typically ends the same year it begins. So at 11 major quakes in 2016 we are a tad over normal with five months left to go and the big one hasn't hit yet, however not all spike years are accompanied by a 8.0 or larger quake. Sorry Oklahoma, but 5.5 earthquakes aren't counted as a major quake.

What is really disturbing is what seismologists and volcanologists are saying about volcanoes. I ran across this information while researching earthquakes. Apparently, and according to the experts, every major volcano and super caldera on Earth are now showing signs of pressure building up. I had heard this regarding Yellowstone, but I was unaware it was global. Volcanoes in Chile, Italy, the U.S., Iceland, Greece, Hawaii, Japan, and a whole lot of other countries too long to list are showing signs of major eruption events. Check the list for your country, but basically it's everywhere.

Between 2004 and 2010 the ground at the center of the Yellowstone caldera rose an unprecedented 10 inches. Water temperature in the Yellowstone River is also beginning to rise as of 2016. Quoting one volcanologist, "make no mistake about it, it's magma and it's increasing in magnitude with each passing year". "At present, the ground is rising at an unprecedented rate of about 3 inches per year". [End Quote]

When the Yellowstone caldera erupts (actually it will be more like an explosion), enough magma will be released to fill the Grand Canyon eleven times. The ash plume will stretch over 1,000 miles, and most of North America will become uninhabitable for years.

The major reason NZ has maintained a high standard of living, is because of immigrants required to bring 1mill plus to come here. Most are from Asia. House prices in our major cities have skyrocketed.
Our dairy exports tanked last year and most farmers are operating at a loss.

I hold to my view, that what is happening now regarding natural events, are just normal occurrences, cyclical or simply a continuation of what always has happened.
Yellowstone is a worry to you Americans, but if it did erupt, that wouldn't be a fulfillment of prophecy, as only the Northern Hemisphere would be affected.
As the prophets say: Wait for the Day when the Lord arises to judge the world!

I reread post #212 about USGS earthquake statistics and noticed I left out the answer to the most important question of all... Are earthquakes increasing overall ? I only gave the statistics for major earthquakes, which are currently high right now (spiking), but still within the cyclical norm according to USGS records.

However... as I found in the report, once you add in moderate 5.0 and smaller quakes, the conclusion changes dramatically. For the past SEVEN YEARS, between 2009 and 2016 there has been a 38.4 % increase in earthquake activity around the globe. That's a pretty significant increase..

So no, scientifically speaking... this spike is definitely not normal, nor can it be explained by any cyclical pattern. It's also interesting this increase occurred over a seven year period. Another warning of the coming seven year Tribulation Period ?!

Thanks, Stephen, actually I do agree there has been a increase of wars, famines, plagues and economic disasters over the last 100 years. A spike now, as you point out, may be just that, or the end is nigh!
I do believe that is the case, we are very close the Day the Lord will take action on His Day of wrath. Not the Great Trib, which must come later; after the leader of the One World govt breaks his treaty with new Israel.

"Nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom" (Matthew 24:7, NIV).

MSNBC HEADLINE Saturday 9/4/16. "G-20 Summit Gets Off to Rocky Start".

When Air Force One landed in Beijing China, President Obama was denied the honors customarily granted to a visiting head of state. No aircraft staircase was wheeled into place, no red carpet, no access to the Whitehouse Press Corps . Obama was made to exit Air Force One via a short staircase that descends from Air Force One itself at the rear of the plane, a procedure normally only used when the President visits war zones and hostile countries.

The unprecedented slight results in a heated altercation between Obama's National Security Advisor Susan Rice, the Whitehouse Press Corps and the Chinese delegation. A representative of the Chinese delegation shouts angrily, "This is our country" !... The unprecedented scene speaks for itself.

RT International News also reports Vladimir Putin has gained ground with his first visit with the new British Prime Minister, Theresa May at the G-20 summit. Britain has dropped it's position against the Russian invasion and occupation of Crimea as part of the talks between the two nations. No talks about continuing the sanctions against Russia, which could signal a major shift in Britain's position towards Putin being labeled as an aggressor, and support for continuing U.S. backed sanctions against Russia.

German Chancellor Angelia Merkel also faces a referendum support vote today for her CDP Party in her home state. According to polls, the right wing German/Communist alliance opposition is leading in the polls as the vote takes place later today. The vote will likely end any hopes Merkel has of a second term.

It is a very, very good day for Putin, as the U.S. delegation receives a diplomatic slap in the face from China, and the U.S. backed German Christian Democratic Party goes down in flames.

UPDATE ON ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT BEGINNING TODAY.

 

[Straightshot]

The scriptural birth pangs are for Israel only .... not specifically scripted for any other nation

Those listed above of the Gentile world are headed for the Lord's wrath and judgment and have been for a long time ..... but it has not come yet .... when it does there will be no question about it [Revelation 6:12-17]

The birth pangs for Israel relate to the nation's coming experience in the same tribulation [Jeremiah 30; Ezekiel 20:34-44; 38; 39; Daniel 9:24-27; 12:1-4; Joel 2; 3; Micah 5; Matthew 24; Luke 21:20-36; Revelation 12]

Those who jump at every current event today and cry wolf on every turn are mocking the Lord's more sure word of prophecy with tabloid applications .... this should never be done .... this kind of thing is what has given the Bible a bad wrap

When wild an flimsy false predictions do not come to pass, this makes a joke out of Christianity for those who look on

 

[stephen583]

Months ago I warned the Third Horseman of the Apocalypse would soon arrive. I was telling people here in CF to start preparing for a worldwide economic crash. Now global trade is at the same level as the last economic disaster in 2009, and some leading economists are predicting the New York Stock Market could lose 50 % of it's value in 2016-2017.

Headlines in recent weeks have also reported China and Russia's economies are slowing, while countries in Europe are dealing with renegotiating trade deals as the E.U. crumbles and the future of the Euro looks perilous. Even Saudi Arabia is instituting severe austerity measures to shore up their economy as oil prices continue to plummet heading for $30 dollars a barrel.

The old tricks used to prop up the U.S. and world economies have ceased to work in 2016. The spiral into a worldwide recession is now the new normal.

On the basis of Bible prophecy, I predicted earlier this month, the coming destabilization of Turkey and it being torn out of the sphere of influence of the United States. I even mentioned the likelihood it would form a new alliance with Russia, and guess what happened ?! Ergadan had a meeting in Moscow with Putin after the failed coup attempt, and now Turkey is waging a cross border war into Syria to destroy the U.S. backed Kurdish anti-Assad forces and has Washington hopping mad.

Next on the basis of Bible prophecy, which cites (nation ringing up against nation, Matthew 24:7) I predicted the G-20 summit held this month in Beijing would turn into a total disaster because of the national security issues of China and Russia in the face of worsening relations with the United States. MSNBC Headlines from Saturday, "G-20 Gets Off To A Rocky Start". See paragraph three in post 207, and post 216 for a recap of that prediction.

On Saturday I predicted Angela Merkel's Party would lose the election held in her home state in Germany, and today the headlines say she was defeated. Germany (Gomer in the Bible) will also realign itself with Russia before the next Arab-Israeli War takes place. Sure enough Merkel's Christian Democratic Party is going down in flames. That also appeared in post 216 on Saturday.

So far this month, I'm batting 100 % as far as tying End Time Bible prophecy and newspaper headlines together goes... What's your record like "Straightshot" ? Has anything you've posted about End Time Bible prophecy actually ever happened ?

 

[Straightshot]

False teachers and false prophets abound today and none of ramblings are contained within the scope of the visions of the Lord's prophets .... the only true prophets

The time has not come yet for the visions of the Lord's more sure word of prophecy to materialize at the end of this present age

And my record of the same is not mine, but the Lord's

Not a good idea for your to tell that your speculations are of the same because they are not even seen by the prophets .... many have come and gone like yourself and your return will amount to nothing

The end time events from His word are already written and plain to see .... and when He is ready, His prophetic word will be fulfilled with 100% accuracy

Your speculations are all about things outside of the scope and most anyone who has a knowledge of current events can guess and make predictions that look like fulfillment .... but until the visions of the prophets begin to roll, your talk is just that ..... talk

Only the Lord and His prophets know .... you do not

So unless you stick to the same and instead go off with your own speculations, you will fail every time

You are not listening to the Lord's admonitions about what you are doing .... and when His day does come there will be no warnings or signs .... and all earth dwellers will know that they are under His unprecedented judgment with out a doubt [Psalms 2; Revelation 6:2-17]

None of these things have come as we speak .... He is waiting until He is ready

 

[stephen583]

"But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest to all men".. (2 Timothy 3:9, KJV).


We'll see who is speaking correctly, and who is talking rubbish. As time goes on, that will become obvious to everyone, and it won't be proven by any editorial comments posted here in CF by the likes of "Straightshot", or anyone else for that matter.

The day itself will reveal who's right and who's wrong.

BTW. I didn't ask you whether you thought you were right or wrong about your predictions Straightshot, I asked you if anything you ever predicted has actually ever come to past ? You do understand there's a difference, don't you ?

 

[stephen583]

I just got around to watching the video in post 217. Wow ! That was creepy. I read months ago the Vatican was planning a trip to Jerusalem for Pope Francis, and it had something to do with an "Interfaith" convocation to be held there, but I hadn't heard this event would be accompanied by ultra-orthodox Jews pushing to use the temple mount to stage a Mosaic animal sacrifice, "symbolically" resurrecting a Third Temple in September of this year. That's news.

Personally, I don't see this whole Interfaith (One World Religion) thing being realized by Pope Francis. Despite his popularity, he simply doesn't have that kind of influence over the world's religions (particularly the Muslim World). It was interesting, he was able to repair the centuries old schism between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the RCC, but I think we'll find bringing Islam, Judaism and Christianity together goes way beyond his abilities of persuasion. So I think his prophecy of World Religious Peace will turn out to be as false as the proposition the Paris Accord on Climate Change would be used to "Save the Earth", and its' sanctions won't be used as an economic weapon that will become the catalyst which ignites a war with China.

Wondering myself about the possibility of resolving the temple mount dilemma, I visited a mosque in Houston Texas in 2014 and spoke with the local Immam on this very subject. I asked him specifically if the Jews could not be allowed to conduct Mosaic rituals on the temple mount, without actually building a physical temple ?... The Immam's response was animated. He was totally livid with anger, and said "No ! absolutely NOT ! This is "Harram (Forbidden) ! Allowing this to happen would be to desecrate the Dome of the Rock Mosque !~ He was very clear, there would be a riot at the temple mount and blood would flow in the streets of Jerusalem. Maybe even another Arab-Israeli War would be triggered. So much for that idea.

I think the Israeli government realizes this as well, and so realistically speaking, I don't see them caving into the delusional plans of the ultra-orthodox extremists any time soon. Not even in the backdrop of a Vatican staged Interfaith Convocation in Jerusalem. At least I hope not. It would trigger an Arab/Muslim-Israeli War ! The least likely outcome, is that it would in any way bring "Religious Unity and Peace to the World".

Then again, that is the sort of thing "false prophets" promise, and then can't deliver. This Interfaith Convocation in Jerusalem, could well signal the fulfillment of "end time" Bible Prophecy.

" didn't ask you whether you thought you were right or wrong about your predictions Straightshot


And I answered you

I do not make predictions, but only use scripture to teach .... the future is already written

 

[parousia70]

I asked you if anything you ever predicted has actually ever come to past ? You do understand there's a difference, don't you ?

As you know from my posts, I'm anticipating a September 2016 surprise.

I've saved these posts and put an alarm on my calendar for October 1st.

I'll ping you at that time and you can explain why your September Surprise failed to come to pass and why that failure is different from all of Straightshots failures.
