What Christ is showing us in the signs?Aug. 15, 2011



Prophecy Sign: In the book of Daniel, chapter 12 verse 4 God tells Daniel something very specific about the last generation. The last generation would stand out in two ways, they would increase in knowledge and travel back and forth.” This prophecy was fulfilled via this present generation. Never before has a generation of people increased in knowledge so fast in such a short period of time. I am going to tie together what Daniel was shown and what Jesus warns us about so please hang in there. I want everyone to think about something very important that you may have missed. Look at what Jesus said in Revelation 13: 16-17 “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” We know for a fact that a new worldwide economic system is coming. We see it steaming toward us as we watch the many nations falling into a major economic crisis. Never before have we seen so many nations on the verge of collapse. When the Antichrist takes the position Jesus warned us about he will make sure that everyone under his rule will be required to take his mark in their hand or forehead. According to Christ, if you refuse the mark you will not be able to buy anything or sell anything. This tells us that anyone who does refuse this mark will be forced out of the new economic system and they will not be able to shop to buy anything, nor will they be able to sell anything to make a living. In other words, they will be completely on their own to survive. Much worse than that, Revelation 20:4 shows us that anyone who doesn’t have this mark will be killed, and the way they will be killed in Rev. 20:4 is by beheading. This means that not only will you not be able to buy or sell without this Antichrist mark, you will be hunted down and killed. This is where Daniel 12:4 comes into play, but read this warning by Christ first, which I have taken from Revelation 11: 3-9.

3And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

4These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

5And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

6These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

7And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

8And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

9And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

This is what is going to happen. Christ is soon going to send two of the old Testament prophets back to Earth for 1,260 days to confront the Antichrist. If you are left behind after the Church is raptured you will no doubt see these two men on the news. Look for them in Jerusalem! Revelation tells us that these two witnesses will be allowed to be killed by the Antichrist but only after their work for Christ is finished, and guess what? The entire world will watch their dead bodies lie in the street for over 3 days. If you think you will be able to hide from the Antichrist you have got to see what I am about to show you. Maybe after what you see it will convince you that the only way to safety from the Antichrist is to receive Jesus Christ’s free gift of salvation before the rapture takes place. At least that is what I am praying for. Just think what the Antichrist’s police and the military have at their disposal. Before you go to this next link please do this for me. Just picture yourself standing in a crowd about about 2 million people. You have been left behind because you refused the message of salvation from Christ. You have become one of the people the Antichrist is looking for. Now go to this link below and you will find a picture of a crowd before the riot in Vancouver. Just say you are one of the people in this crowd. Put your cursor anywhere in the crowd and double-click a couple of times then go over to the left side and zoom in, and you will see what the Holy Spirit is showing you .

If you did it right you would have been able to single out each and every person you wanted to! Say for example the Antichrist’s forces are looking in on this crowd just like you did. They zoom in on all the people and spot you. They zoom closer and notice you have no mark Antichrist mark on your forehead. You don’t even know the troops are all ready on their way to pick you up! This this is science fiction? This type of technology what brought out in one special generation, and it is the one God showed Daniel, OURS!

Now let’s get back to Revelation 11 where Jesus told us the two witnesses bodies will be seen by the world for 3 and 1/2 days. There is only one special generation who has made it possible for the entire world to watch their bodies lie in the street. What happens in the news can be seen by every nation as the same time. Could this have happened just 50 years ago? No. This is the generation both Jesus and Daniel talked about. In Luke 21:11, 25 Christ told us we would see signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars. The generation who has gained this increased in knowledge can now see the signs in the heavens even before they reach Earth. Did you ever stop to consider Jesus made this possible to give you time to repent of your ways and receive Christ before it was to late? Look at this way. We know that all the last day signs Jesus warned us about are all taking place now in the same generation that Daniel pointed out. Jesus told us that when we saw this happen to look up because we would know he was coming soon. Christ is going to open the door way of heaven soon to remove all His children who have received Him as Lord and savior. When He looks down on Earth and Zooms in on the people He will see the ones who have been sealed by Him and remove them to Himself. Are you one of these sealed ones? You are going to wish your were if you are left behind!

1.“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” (Ephesians 4:30)
2.“Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a deposit.” (2 Corinthians 1:21)
3.“In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.” (Ephesians 1:13)
4.“Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.” (2 Corinthians 5:5 )

*Christians targeted in fatal stealth attacks (Persecution Matthew 24:9 & Rev.6:9)
There's no pattern and little evidence, but periodically, and without warning, another Christian is shot or stabbed – almost always fatally – in the Nigerian town of Maiduguri. Experts on the persecution of Christians in that part of the world say the Nigerian Muslim terrorist group Boko Haram has been implicated in the murders, which have happened intermittently in the Christians' own homes.

*Heat pops pipes nationwide; brace for higher bills (Scorching Sun Isaiah30:26 & Rev.16:8-9)
Critical water pipelines are breaking from coast to coast, triggered by this summer's record high temperatures. It's not a phenomenon or coincidence, experts say. It's a clear sign that Americans should brace for more water interruptions, accompanied by skyrocketing water bills. The heat wave of the past few weeks has burst hundreds of crucial pipes in California, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Indiana, Kentucky and New York, temporarily shutting off water to countless consumers just when they needed it most.

The Arab Spring in Prophecy

(Perilous Times Luke 21:9 & Nation against Nation, Kingdom against Kingdom Matt.24:7)

(Revelation 6:3-4 Revelation 6:

Luke 21:9 and Matthew 24:7 speak of nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom in the end times. Revelation 6:3-4 speaks of the fiery red horse given power to make men slay one another and Revelation 6:8 speaks again of this red horse in conjunction with the pale horse of Death and Hades, as the one that has the power to kill by sword.

I like to call this “The Arab Spring in Prophecy” because for us it is easy to identify-

that’s what the world calls it.

Wow Gimel, you should check and take a scan on anyone around the quoted gigapixel photo...

Is this the way Hubble Telescope took the photo showing the City of God in 1994 while it scan the entire UNIVERSE?

This really proves great details and we could recognise the people, agree?

We are getting so high tech these days and so God is coming to stop mankind before MAN CAN SEE & KNOW where THE STAR IS COMING from. So NO MAN Knows MUST BE FULFILLED within days?

Even so, come, Lord Jesus(Yeshua)
