[awareness]

Hey! Hey! Hey! Our sis Carol is back. Nice to see your shining face too. You left a gap out here, when you disappeared.

But can't help but have some fun with you.

It's a shame we have to be exhorted. I try to be awake even when sleeping. But truly I can't keep up ... and my eyes won't open wide enough to take it all in.

I try to keep an eye out. I try to keep up with world news. It looks bad. But not as bad as Revelation depicts God's wrath at the end times. Why would any Christian want that? Why would anybody? Are we wanting to love our neighbors to death?

Something to think about and hopefully not to think of it as a parable or a methapor...

It could also be taken as secret code, understood and unscrambled, by other Christians (that spoke the same symbolic language) ; to avoid persecution in their day.

Who knows for sure what the book of Revelation means? Truth is, we may figure Revelation out, and line it all up, and match it all up, and lay it all down, as written ; and future events may not transpire and unfold as cooked up by so doing. Many have tried. Many, many have failed. I've tried to figure it all out on my own. I gave up. I just throw my arms up and give up. So I'm open when someone claims to have a lock on it. Maybe I can learn something. But people that claim to be speaking for God are people to distrust.

If Revelation has it, the Big Picture is not all pretty. Lots of people will give their lives for the sake of the New Heaven and New Earth (New Heaven!!!), and many will suffer for ever and ever ... even for, apparently, not watching.

I have read the Harbinger, and the Shmittah year. Interesting. I have also watched Cahn on many interviews and while I won't condemn him, I do think he has become a 'sensationalist'. I do think all the attention and perhaps his bank account has gone to his head. That is what I PERCEIVE. It doesn't make me happy but I don't dwell on it or let it bother me because as much as in me is, I am grounded in Christ by His Spirit in me.

I'll look into any claims that come up. Keeping my eyes open. Unfortunately there'a a long history of flimflam artists and charlatans, that have taken advantage of innocent believers. Just google "The Great Disappointment." I don't think the Lord wants us falling for them.

I also want to make one final comment regarding the 4 blood moons, the tetrad that of lunar eclipses that occurred on Passover and Succot (Feast of Tabernacles) in 2014 and again on Passover and FOT in 2015.

Acts 2:19-21 quotes Joel 2:28-32
I will cause wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below—blood and fire and clouds of smoke.
20 The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives.
21 But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

Mark Biltz, a true believer in Christ, saw a lunar eclipse over Jerusalem one year he was visiting Israel. (Lunar eclipses occur every year but that they occur on Passover and FOT, 2 yrs in a row is not common.)

As an amateur astronomer, he went to the Nasa website and just started checking out the occurances of lunar eclipses on the Lord's Feasts. The Holy Spirit had him pay attention and thus he came to the realization that when Israel became a nation again in 1948, a lunar tetrad occurred in 1949-1950).

(Btw, as soon as Israel became a nation, the Arabs attacked her) but her status as a Nation was not removed.)
From 1948 to 1967, Jerusalem was a city divided. In June 1967,as a result of the 6 day war, the western sector of Jerusalem became united with it's eastern section. Thus now, JERUSALEM WAS COMPLETELY UNITED. (btw, The Old City, up until 1948, had been annexed by Jordan, and ruled from its capital, Amman. That is why in the heart of the old part of Jerusalem stands the Muslim dome of the rock)

So in 1967 and 1968, there again was another Tetrad of lunar eclipses on Passover and Succot, Passover and Succot.

The lunar tetrads appear to be signs that Israel was/is in danger but God always has come through for her.

So now that Israel is established as a nation and Jerusalem as her capital what would be the purpose of another Tetrad in 2014/2015???

So to the question, IF INDEED, the Tetrad lunar eclipses are a sign for Israel and they appeared when Israel became a nation and again when all of Jerusalem was established officially as her capital, what is next for Israel??

I THINK...it's the Tribulation period to get her to pay attention JESUS CHRIST, YESHUAH HA MESHIAH, is indeed the KING OF THE JEWS. For 7 yrs, God is going to get Israel's undivided attention. And at the end of the day, YESHUAH, THE KING OF kings and LORD of lords will appear for every eye to see HIM at the battle of Armageddon.

THAT is what I THINK is the purpose of this final tetrad. I THINK the tribulation period is very soon in coming for this world. I BELIEVE per GOD's WORD, the Bride, the BLOOD WASHED SAINTS will not suffer the things that will be during the Tribulation. I ALSO THINK, if INDEED THE TRIBULATION IS VERY, VERY SOON IN COMING, then the THOUSAND YEAR REIGN is also soon in coming...

Right now Russia is in Syria as is Iran and according to the DEBKA files:
Russia’s military intervention in Syria has expanded radically in two directions. debkafile’s military and intelligence sources report that China sent word to Moscow Friday, Oct. 2, that J-15 fighter bombers would shortly join the Russian air campaign that was launched Wednesday, Sept. 30.

Eventually, they are all going to gather against Israel. [/B]AND btw. According to the NASA website, there will not be another TETRAD that falls on those feast days for another 500 yrs. (Hmm... seems to me that would be well into the thousand year reign.)

(Harold, buddy, spare me the false jews schpeel. I AM aware of the false Jews etc....) But I am sharing what God has showed me and many, many others.

WOW! Carol! You blow my mind!!!!

Can you imagine the scoffers that came after the first generation of the followers of The Way passed on? That was prolly the first "Great Disappointment." Is pointing that out considered scoffing?
