The Bible records many cataclysmic events some have already occurred many are yet to come. Noah’s flood (Genesis Ch. 6&7) the separation of the continents (Genesis 10:25), the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah all weigh in on the cataclysmic scale, and involve the participation of the heavens and earth.
The futuristic events outlined in scripture will have an immense global impact. The sequential effects of the 7 seals, 7 trumpets, and 7 bowls described in the Book of Revelation chapter 6 and following, are on a scale previously unknown or experienced by mankind.
Regardless of your rapture view and expectation, these events will occur. The world and mankind will remain until the end of the age. It is no longer risky to declare we are living in the last days of mankind, as we currently know them. With the nation of Israel as our prophetic time clock, we can easily conclude the last days are here. The establishment of Israel as a nation in 1948, their subsequent retaking of Jerusalem and the temple area are key events. The process of re-gathering the Jews to their home land according to prophecy is enough to settle the issue for most Christians. If one takes into account other related world events such as the assembling of the revived Roman Empire, the alignment of Russia (Gog) and the former soviet union (Magog-Ezekiel Chapter 38 &39). The preparedness of the Jews to rebuild the temple (Daniel 9:26, 27; Revelation 11:1,2). The emphasis on a new world order and countless other prophetic events, point to the fact we are rapidly approaching the end. International pressure on Israel to sign a Middle East peace agreement is unrelenting. We know the signing of the peace agreement will activate the 70th week of Daniel and mark the beginning of the final 7 years of this age (Daniel 9:25-27). Needless to say, we are experiencing the words of Jesus:
And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceivers you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ’, and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilence, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:4-14
Jesus told us to take heed that no one deceives us regarding the end of the age and the coming of the Lord.
The Lord will use signs in the sky to inform us who understand His working with mankind and His time table. In the very beginning of creation, God created planets, stars, constellations, the sun and moon in order to communicate with us:
Then God said, “Let there be light in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;….” Genesis 1:14
God created our solar system to give us an accurate means to mark the time and seasons. The deeper intent of God in the lights was to signal to us His coming and the set time of convening His appointed feasts.
Gods time table and workings with man are revealed in His appointed feasts, the cycles of 7, and the sabbatical years.
Jesus has fulfilled the first 4 feasts through His life, death, and resurrection. The final 3 feasts are awaiting fulfillment by Him. These feasts as recorded in Leviticus 23:1-44.
1. Passover- Fulfilled by Christ as the sacrificial lamb (1 Cor. 5:7; 1 Peter 2:24).
2. Unleavened Bread- Fulfilled by Christ, the sinless offering (2 Cor. 5:21; 1 John 3:5).
3. First Fruits- Fulfilled by the resurrection of Christ (1 Cor. 15:19-23).
4. Pentecost- Fulfilled by Christ who sent the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4; Romans 8:9).
5. Trumpets- (Rosh Hashanah) Unfulfilled prophecy of tribulation and rapture (1 Thess. 4:16-17; Rev. 8:2,6).
6. Atonement- (Tom Kippur) Unfulfilled prophecy of Christ’s second coming and redemption (Heb. 10:3-4; Is. 66:5-9).
7. Tabernacles- (Sukkot) Unfulfilled, the 1000 year reign, God dwelling with man (Rev. 21:3).
While the first 4 feasts occur in close proximity during the spring, and entire season passes before the fall feasts begin. This long period represents the age of grace, the church age we are now living in. The last 3 feasts are observed in the fall and remain to be prophetically fulfilled at Christ’s return.
God uses signs in the sky to signal to us what is approaching: Concerning the timing of the opening of the 6th seal, (Revelation 6:12) which will unleash cosmic upheaval and terror on mankind, God will give to mankind a clear signal in the heavens, the end of the tribulation is near. Before the subsequent 7th seal, trumpets, and bowls are unleashed; God will give the nations one final chance to call upon Him for salvation, redemption, and the release from the coming wrath of God;
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” Matthew 24:29-31
The prophet Joel also prophesies of this time:
“I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Acts 2:19-21
Could this be planet X described by Joel? Could it be the star Wormwood (Revelation 8:10-11)? Possibly. However, there are coming lunar and solar events sent by God to clearly communicate to us:
In 2014 and 2015 there will be four lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses, all occurring on Jewish feasts. NASA describes these occurrences as a “tetrad”, a rare series of blood red moons.
The last time this occurred in recent history was in 1948 and 1967. In 1948 Israel once again became a nation. In 1967 the Jewish people recaptured Jerusalem. It seem as though God marks significant events with lunar signs.
The four lunar eclipses are scheduled as follows; listed first by the Gentile calendar then the Jewish calendar:
April 15, 2014- Nisan 16, 5774- Feast of First Fruits
October 8, 2014- Tishri 15, 5775- Feast of Tabernacles
April 4, 2015- Nisan 15, 5775- Feast of Unleavened Bread
September 28, 2015- Tishri 15, 5776- Feast of Tabernacles
The four solar eclipses are scheduled as follows:
April 29, 2014 (total eclipse) Nisan 29, 5774
October 23, 2014 (partial) Tishri 29, 5775
March 20, 2015 (Eve of Sacred Year) Adar 29, 5775
September 30, 2015- After 6pm to be seen on feast of Trumpets.
God is still speaking, still calling out. We know that 2012 is not the end of the world. God has made covenant promises to us regarding the heavens and the earth.
“This says the Lord who gives sun for a light by day, the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, who disturbs the sea, and its waves roar (the Lord of Hosts is His name): “If those ordinances depart from before Me, says the Lord, then the seed of Israel shall also cease from being a nation before Me forever.”
Thus says the Lord:
“If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done says the Lord.” Jeremiah 31:35-37
Though NASA tries to search out the foundations of the earth and measure the heavens, they will be unsuccessful. As long as the sun rises and sets, we can remain calm. God has an everlasting covenant with Israel, they will never cease to exist, and therefore we can be certain the earth and heavens will remain. The devil would like nothing better than to bring the end of the world in 2012. This changing of the times and seasons (Daniel 7:23-25) would circumvent his destruction and leave him as the god of this world.
God is not going to let this happen. The earth will continue on as the Lord has declared.
“While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22
These are comforting words to us while the earth remains. There is coming a day in the not so distant future when the earth will no longer remain (2 Peter 3:10-13). However, December 21, 2012 is not that day.
The signs of the times are for our comfort and understanding. The greatest days for the church as the Bride of Christ are ahead. Great moves of healing, holiness and harvest are ready to be engaged. It is time for the Bride to make herself ready (Revelation 19:7).
“Now when you see all these things come to pass lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” Luke 21:28
If you don’t know the eternal destination of your soul as we enter into these epic times, you can experience the peace and assurance of God right now, today. Read on to discover how.
Many uprights, studious Christians believe the beginning of the tribulation period could start in 2009 and culminate in 2016. Those who hold a pretribulation rapture position believe the next event on God’s calendar is the rapture of the church. Others will simply need to add 7 years to the equation once the action starts. While it seems plausible a nuclear war between Iran and Israel is on the radar, the total destruction of the oldest inhabited city of Damascus would clearly mark end time events. Russia and its Arab/Islamic partners are ready to move on Israel with nuclear forces. Whether it is planet X, the “dark rift”, or nuclear war you must be ready spiritually. Jesus Christ, the Prophet of God, the Son of God is the only Way, the Truth, and the Life. He declares no one comes to the Father (GOD) except through Him. Jesus sacrifices His life on the cross of Calvary to pay the price for our sin and reconcile us unto God. The Bible declares that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness. This simple yet sincere act of believing Christ is our Savior, coming to Him, confessing our sinfulness is the way of salvation. The Bible declares one must be born again (spiritually from above) to see and enter the Kingdom of God (heaven).
The scriptures in the New Testament Book of Romans put the gospel truth forward like this:
“But what does it say? ‘The word is near you, in your mouth and in your hearts (that is the word of faith we preach) ‘that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.’ For the scripture says, ‘Whoever believe on Him will not be put to shame.’ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For whomever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:8-13
If you have made this simple prayer of faith to God, confessing your sinfulness, believing in forgiveness of your sin through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, you are saved, born again! You now have everlasting life in paradise with God, and the indwelling presence and witness of His Holy Spirit in your heart. Now it is time to connect with other believers, attend a local church that sings vibrant praise to God and preaches the word of God faithfully. You see, it’s not the end, but a new beginning that awaits us rejoice! Diamonds may last forever, but every forever must have a beginning. This is your day to trust in Christ Jesus for salvation, for a certain future regardless of what comes your way. It is your day to begin forever.

Is 2012 a Hoax?
Is the 2012 doomsday scenario a hoax? It appears there is some evidence to validate the utterance of ancient oracles. Some of the ancient seers were followers of God, most were not, and many were worshipers of the sun. Perhaps this is why they are articulate in astrological matters as they related to mankind.
I must state that I do not, in any manner, embrace or affirm prophecies that come from any source other than the Spirit of the Almighty God. The following information is a simple presentation of facts based on anthropological and scientific information obtained through hours of research.
Fact #1
The Mayan civilization was an advanced people particularly in the area of math and science. Their influence and symbolism is found in the pyramid of Giza. They developed the most accurate calendar to date based upon the lunar cycles of our galaxy. This calendar has precisely predicted the events on earth based upon planetary movement. NASA has proven the accuracy of the calendar with stunning consistency. A website you can discover interesting facts from NASA is: http:sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/transit/venus0412.html
Fact #2
The Mayan prophesy declares December 12, 2012 the sun will rise on the “dark rift” of the center of our galaxy. The “dark rift” is the extension of the gravitational plane of the Milky Way extending from the center of our galaxy known as the black hole. In the past several years, astronomers have now discovered there is indeed a large black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The astronomers now conclude this passage is possible, and in fact concur the alignment to occur December 12, 2012. This alignment of the earth, the sun, and the center of the galaxy are reported to occur only once every 25,000-years. No one knows what the effect of the earth passing through the outer band of this rift will detail.
Fact #3
Many governmental agencies worldwide are aware of the upcoming galactic alignment and its possible consequences. Various countries are establishing underground bunkers called ARKS. These bunkers are replete with life sustaining commodities including seeds and other agricultural abilities to reestablish mankind after the galactic event. While there appears to be a program of disinformation going on regarding this event, insiders are leaking enough information to those who are persistent to validate the facts. Homeland Security has a survival guide related to planet X/Nibiru 2012. You can indirectly access the website: www.alpinesurvival.com/Homeland_Security_fema.html
Fact #4
NASA and Washington D.C. Naval Base Observatory have confirmed the existence of a rogue planet. This planet was photographed shortly after the launch of NASA’s Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) June 26th, 1983. Astronomers calculate the newly discovered planet X was over 50 million miles away at the time. In 2004, the planet was discovered to be 7 million miles away, moving closer. Confirmation of the 10th planet, planet X was validated when it was photographed in Japan on February 28th, 2008. The anticipated arrival time into the direct orbit of the earth and sun is, December 21st, 2012, at its current rate of travel. This planet known to the ancients as Nibiru, planet X to contemporaries, has the ability to cause a “pole shift” reversing or altering the position of the gravitational poles of the earth. It can also pull unwanted solar debris into our gravitational grid allowing the possibility for some debris to detach and hit the earth. There is concern and speculation about the effects of planet X passing by us at Close proximity on its 3,600-year cycle. Some have conjectured the approach of planet X has already caused climatic changes and other disruptions. In related facts, scientist also know the frequency hum of the earth is rising. The earth hum was a constant 7.8 cycle frequency. This frequency has been used as a baseline for all communications. This has been changing, approaching the 11-cycle frequency. This is indicative of a pole shift and could account for radar alignment mishaps of whales and other migrating species, even the disappearance of honeybees. This frequency change also adversely affects human functions, brain waves and other important factors related to human existence.
Fact #5
It has been reported on Jews and Joes website (www.jewsandjoes.com) that the exact timing of these plausible events are uncertain. However, NASA has pinpointed 2008-2009 as the beginning of several cataclysmic events that will peak in 2012. Planet X will make its first pass into out direct orbit in 2009, its second pass in 2012. This information has been compiled from research from the horizon project (www.thehorizonproject.com). It is believed planet X will be visible to all by spring 2011 looking like a second sun.
Fact #6
Conspiracy theories abound regarding the Mayan calendar, Nibiru and the doomsday prophecies. Many believe it will be the new world order, some suggest it will usher in the return of Nephillum to repossess their bloodline lost in the days of Noah. Others call for a society of higher consciousness. The alarming issue is the lack of information, or misinformation being reported by the government and its related agencies. Many dismiss the coming events as nothing to concern us about. As true with all information, the source and motive of the information is critical to it validity. The U.S. government has an observatory recently constructed in the Antarctic. The observatory, like the Vatican’s newly erected observatory on Mt. Graham in Arizona is dedicated to the observation of planet X. The Amundsen-Scott South Pole station was erected to observe movement from the Southern Plane where Planet X can be seen.
Fact #7
The alignment of the Earth and sun with the center of our galaxy in 2012 is true. The earth will rotate through the “dark rift”, the galactic equinox in 2012. The existence of planet X is true. It has been discovered to have an elliptical orbit that would pattern an egg rather than a 360 degree circle. It orbits on a 3,600-year cycle, moving into our galaxy under the Southern Plane. These patterns of planet X make it difficult to see and track. Nevertheless, it is not in the beginning of the egg shaped arch moving around the outside of Mercury, then Venus, and the Earth. While the Earth rotates in its orbit, planet X comes in and out of our galaxy, and then moves into the outer parts of space. Humanity from its various origins of spirituality, humanism, and occult roots has attached various events to these long established planetary movements. Each associated prophecy seems to fit their respective agendas. There is a consistency to all of them because they are based on a system God created and put in order. God, interlocking with all of creation, especially the heavens, has established a system of time to fulfill human events.
It is true; the planetary events outlined in this blog are upon us. Just because they are true events in no manner validates the cult and occult prophesies attached to them. As it has been historically proven, the Holy Bible is the only tried, tested, and true source of prophecy. Will these events in outer space result in the end of the world? No, not exactly. The Bible reveals Gods plan for man and the earth requires the planet to remain here and functional beyond 2012. His plan also included the presence of mankind going about their daily business (Matthew 24:36-44). Next time I will discuss what the Bible says about the end of the age. While it is not 2012, it may be sooner than you think.

Prophecies of the End
Many voices are predicting the end of this age, the world as we know it, December 21, 2012 at 11:11pm.
Century old prophecies have begun to surface again in our time. People want to know what the future holds; they are looking to various sources to prepare themselves for what is ahead.
Some predict the end of the age, the coming forth of a new golden age. Others are more of the doomsday type oracles expounding vivid images of global destructions. These disruptions, they say will cataclysmic storms, earthquakes, volcanoes, and tidal waves.
The Mayan calendar is the primary sources fueling the secular search for answers regarding the future. This calendar developed by the Mayans began keeping time in 3114 BC. It is credited to be the most accurate calendar known to mankind. It has predicted astrological events perfectly to date for thousands of years. It is based on a 5,125-year cycle, a cycle that ends December 21, 2012. At this time the calendar resents its long count to zero. This is perceived by many to indicate the end of time.
In addition, to this calendar event, the Mayans also have prophesied the alignment of the earth, the sun, and the black hole of the Milky Way galaxy based on their calendar. They prophesy the earth will pass through the “dark rift” of the galaxies gravitational field/plane. The passing will result in tremendous gravitational forces being exerted upon the earth, enough force to cause a “pole shift”, the reversal of the poles of the earth. Along with the reversal of poles will come the onslaught of solar flares and orbital debris rendering great harm and destruction to the earth. The pole shifts could trigger volcanoes, earthquakes, tidal waves and climate shift, all culminating December 21, 2012.
I Ching, the 5,000-year-old method of prognostication practiced by the Chinese also ends all its measurement of time on December 21, 2012. I Ching graphs have predicted the fall of the Roman Empire, the discovery of the new World and Wars in the 20th century through interpretation of 5 coins relating to 64 squares. Concurring with the Mayan, the Chinese agree with a various company of seers down through the ages, whose oracles in some manner set forth the timing of the end of the world.
Merlin the magician, Mother Shipton and the Sybiline prophecies from Rome in 6 BC have similar musings. Many Indian tribes speak of similar events and dates, most notably the Hopi tribe, *The Blackhawk’s and the Sioux ghost dancers.
Perhaps the most interesting contributor is the non-human oracle known as Web bot. Web bots are designed to search the users of the Internet to gain the “collective consciousness” of the World to capture future financial trends, choices, and activates. Interestingly enough it predicted the stock market crash associated with the terrorist attack in America on 9-11-01 right on time.
The 2012 doomsday scenario seems to be upon us according to these sources. However, as Christians, we hold the only true source of truth predicting the future. The Mayan calendar is accurate without fail, only because it is based on lunar cycle of planets God created and set in perfect order.
In response to the multitudes of people who will at some point hear this information, Christians must be ready with compassion filled truth. They must become like those of the early church, whom daily were reading and studying the apostles doctrine. They knew the gospel built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Christ Jesus, being the Cornerstone. The knowledge and understanding of the word of God kept them from deceptive doctrines of demons, undue fear, and panic. It allowed them to gently persuade others of the truth and live vibrant, productive lives.
Next time I will explore the scientific facts concerning the end of time and the emerging planet X.

Merlin the magician, Mother Shipton and the Sybiline prophecies from Rome in 6 BC have similar musings. Many Indian tribes speak of similar events and dates, most notably the Hopi tribe, *The Blackhawk’s and the Sioux ghost dancers.
Perhaps the most interesting contributor is the non-human oracle known as Web bot. Web bots are designed to search the users of the Internet to gain the “collective consciousness” of the World to capture future financial trends, choices, and activates. Interestingly enough it predicted the stock market crash associated with the terrorist attack in America on 9-11-01 right on time.
The 2012 doomsday scenario seems to be upon us according to these sources. However, as Christians, we hold the only true source of truth predicting the future. The Mayan calendar is accurate without fail, only because it is based on lunar cycle of planets God created and set in perfect order.
In response to the multitudes of people who will at some point hear this information, Christians must be ready with compassion filled truth. They must become like those of the early church, whom daily were reading and studying the apostles doctrine. They knew the gospel built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Christ Jesus, being the Cornerstone. The knowledge and understanding of the word of God kept them from deceptive doctrines of demons, undue fear, and panic. It allowed them to gently persuade others of the truth and live vibrant, productive lives.
Next time I will explore the scientific facts concerning the end of time and the emerging planet X.

The Second Coming of Jesus
Acts 2: 17-21
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy. I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Spiritual Gifts: Unity in Diversity
1 Corinthians 12:1-11
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
Unity and Diversity in One Body
1 Corinthians 12: 12-31
For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body---whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free---and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. For in fact that body is not one member but many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body”, is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear should say, “because I am not an eye, I am not of the body”, is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. And if they were all one member, where would the body be? But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”. No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. And those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, on these we, bestow greater honor; and out unpresentable parts have greater modesty, but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? So all have gifts of healings? Do all earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.
