Prophecy - The End Times

There are a few more things to consider regarding the mountains and islands. Revelation 6 has the first reference to "mountains and islands". I think there is both literal/physical significance to the references of "mountains and islands" and also symbolic ones. Symbolically, "mountains" represent places of power of kingdoms in our current world. I believe "islands" are linked to another concept seen in the Old Testament which is "coastlands". Hebrew uses a single word to talk about "islands" and "coastlands" and both of these references refer to the "gentile" nations that are at a greater distance from Israel. I am not stuck on these understandings of the symbolic meanings, just my thinking from years of progressive observation.

As for the literal/physical aspects, there is another reference to "mountains and islands" in Revelation 16 at the end of the Great Tribulation to consider.

Revelation 16:20 And every island fled, and mountains were not found.

Later on at the end of the millennial kingdom we find another interesting reference. This next verse comes after Satan is released from prison and goes out to the deceive the kings of the earth one final time.

Revelation 20:9 (LEB)
9 And they went up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the fortified camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and consumed them.

At this point, the area surrounding Jerusalem (not the new Jerusalem yet) is a "broad plain". If we look at Jerusalem now, it is NOT surrounded by a "broad plain".

So, I also believe there is evidence of a reconfiguration of the earth as we move into the millennial kingdom, but I am not sure how significantly the continents are reconfigured. If the "islands" are synonymous with "coastlands" in Revelation (like they are in the OT), then it is entirely possible that all the continents would be reconnected as all the mountains and islands go away per Revelation 16:20.

We also know something else about the waters that currently separate the continents. There is a passage in Ezekiel 47 which I believe is connected to the millennial kingdom. I believe this passage shows us that there will still be waters, but their nature is changed from salt water to fresh water.

Ezekiel 47:7–11 (LEB)
7 When I returned, then look! On the bank of the river were many trees on both sides. 8 And he said to me, “These waters are going out to the eastern region, and they go down to the Jordan Valley, and they come to the sea and flow into the sea where they issue out, and the waters in the sea will be healed. 9 And then every living creature with which it teems, to every place the waters come it will live; and very many fish will live because these waters came there, and so the water will be healed and everything will be alive everywhere that the stream will come. 10 And then fishers from En Gedi and on up to En Eglaim will stand beside it, a sea-girt drying yard for nets; their fish for the dragnets will be of every kind, like the fish of the great sea, and very many. 11 But its marshes and its swamps will not be cured, for they were given for salt.

When the lands are re-united under one king, then we will finally have a MOTA.

Here are a couple of links to stuff that is going on in the US/World that are interesting. I can't say definitively that these are End Times issues, but neither can I say that they aren't.

Farm Chemical Shortages
A disturbing report by Reuters, featuring interviews with more than a dozen chemical dealers, manufacturers, farmers, and weed specialists, indicates chemical shortages have disrupted U.S. growers’ production strategies and points to reduced harvests this season.

Color Revolution
A color revolution (not about "color") is a known tactical CIA operation that uses a seemingly spontaneous act as the precipitating event to destabilize a country and effect regime change. The color revolution is what is happening in America...

Nell, mentioning “Color Revolution” exposes how our own Intelligentia is working to overthrow our Democratic Republic in the the US. I doubt if any others on this forum have a clue as to what is happening beneath the surface. Here is just one comment from your cited article:

The organization Black Lives Matter (BLM) is not about black lives. BLM is a Marxist organization disguised as a civil rights organization. Instead of improving race relations, BLM exploits racial tensions to collapse America from within and replace our constitutional republic with socialism/communism. BLM is the ultimate humanitarian hoax being perpetrated on unsuspecting Americans who still believe that BLM cares about black lives. They don’t.

The reader who takes offense at the above comments has never taken the time to understand the riots of 2020 and probably would reject everything else in the article as “conspiracy theory,” or some such. Our entire Press and media has worked tirelessly to perpetrate this hoax on the unsuspecting Public.

Ohio,

I had never heard of “color revolution”, but it does fit with the 2020 riots. It’s chilling. Especially if our own CIA is, in fact, illegally operating domestically…working against us.

Somehow we have gone off the rails trusting the government instead of God.

The proverbial “we,” who have gone off the rails, is no longer the “we” who began this American country. The people who now run the institutions of government have become a class of godless power hungry elites who neither know God nor trust God.

In the last days the book of Revelation cries out to those who still fear God and obey His commands. These ones will be societal outcasts rejecting the broad and popular way that leads to destruction, and choosing rather the narrow way that leads to life.

60 years ago JFK understood the power and the dangers of the intelligence community. He was setup during the Bay of Pigs fiasco. He tried to curtail its power and then died trying to make it happen.

Yup. President Eisenhower warned in 1961, the rising power of what he called the military industrial complex.

“The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."—Ike

Here's another timely message. If you have access to the Roku channel, see Megiddo: The March to Armageddon. There are other places where it can be viewed.

• "Megiddo: The March to Armageddon" explores Bible prophecy concerning the last day kingdom of Antichrist, tracking the history of the New World Order from the pages of Scripture through the global revolution that is sweeping the world. Popular subjects in this film include the prophecies of Revelation and Daniel, as well as the history of the Illuminati and Freemasonry on the New World Order movement.
  —Christian J. Pinto

The book of Daniel is covered thoroughly then there are many quotes from "The New World Order" by William T. Stills.

It's 2h 12m long but worth it...very sobering.

As you check out these two links, consider these verses in Revelation 18. Specifically who or what Babylon the great? Who or what are "all nations" (global) and "the kings of the earth"(global leadership) and "merchants of the earth" (big business, big tech, little business, little tech).

Revelation 18
² And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
³ For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
⁴ And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Coming soon: New version of the Internet WEB3

Already here: Cryptocurrency
IMHO, these two "things" are increasing the dependence of peoples of the world on the Internet which seems to be the foundation for the merchants of the earth to do business. Also, it appears to me that cryptocurrency is totally dependent on the Internet. Is this correct? If so, what happens if the Internet is compromised?

Huh?

Divine Coincidence? Red Heifers Arrive In Israel Before New Shmita Cycle Begins

“A major prophetic event just happened, and hardly anyone in the United States is talking about it.

In recent years a group of western Christians known as Boneh Israel has been working with officials from the Temple Institute to search for a perfect red heifer. A red heifer is necessary if Temple sacrifices are to be reinstituted, but one hasn't been seen in Israel for more than 2,000 years.

This is something that I have written about a few times over the years, because it directly relates to end times prophecies. For a long time, the search for a perfect red heifer seemed to be going nowhere, but now all of that has changed.

On September 15th, five perfect red heifers from the United States landed at Ben Gurion Airport. The following comes from the official website of the Temple Institute...

On Thursday, September 15, 2022, 5 PM, 5 perfect, unblemished red heifers arrived in Israel from the USA. A modest ceremony was held at the unloading bay of the cargo terminal at Ben Gurion airport, where the new arrivals were greeted and speeches were made by the incredible people who have put their hearts and souls and means into making this historic/prophetic day become a reality.

It would be difficult to overstate the prophetic importance of this event. In Numbers 19:1-10, we read about the very first time that the ashes of a red heifer were used...

The story link about the red heifers has no sources. It seems to be worded in a way common to conspiracy theory articles (or even advertising clickbait): It titillates with emotionally-laden possibilities. But it has no reliable sourcing of claims made. There is nothing verifiable. That is a red flag.

What brings the Lord back will not be the saints on jittery all-night internet rapture watch. It will be the saints choosing instead to watch in prayer, in bearing fruit, by gaining the oil. If we gained believers by excitement, we would lose them quickly. (Embarrassingly, I've had lots of experience bringing in college students who get excited at love feasts or conferences in the LR, we see them standing and shouting and calling on the Lord, their faces glowing. Wow!...and we never see them again).

This kind of thinking, that is, jumping to conclusions when we see an event that sounds similar to what we want to see, is not clear thinking. One test is: does it bear out in the long run? Also, does it create primarily emotional responses, like excitement, fear, or anger?

I would venture a guess, although I have no scriptural support for it, that if we're watching His face, it will not be a surprise when He comes.
