Worse flood in 70 years/Satanic forces at work/Another "great earthquake"/Muslim Brotherhood and forced sin fee vacations/Dec. 14, 2011



Prophecy Sign: Luke 21:25 Is where you will fine the warning about the seas and waves roaring. 2011 has been plauged by massive storms that has caused complex problems for many nations. Thailand is now in the midst of some of these problems as this nation finds itself under water.

Prophecy Sign: Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places.”

Over the course of years Satan has been working to remove anything that has to do with the Savior of the world Jesus Christ. Satan has his people working trying to destroy the Lord’s Church. Those who know the Word of God know that Satan loses and will be cast into the lake of fire along with anyone who chooses to receive the Lord’s free gift of salvation. The battles as noted in Ephesians 6:12 are waging and the video below shows you an example of what Paul warned us about via Jesus Christ.



Prophecy Sign: Luke 21:11 Christ told us “great earthquakes” would be one of the many last days signs. 2011 has seen its share of these great quakes and today there was another one!

Strong 7.3 magnitude quake hits PNG

A spokesman from Geoscience Australia confirmed the earthquake had occurred on land north of Port Moresby.

Geoscience Australia's website said the quake could be felt by people 1,523 kilometres away.

It says damage may have occurred within a 122-kilometre radius.

An AAP corespondent reported that the windows of the parliament building shook for about 1.5 minutes, however there appears to be no damage. The earthquake comes on a day of political upheaval.

The quake happened at 4.04pm (AEDT). Witnesses in Port Moresby said people came running out of buildings, power lines swayed and parked cars rocked.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a tsunami alert.

Prophecy Sign: In Psalm 83 we see Egypt is one of the nations that will attack Israel. As I have warned you in the past, watch out for what the Muslim Brotherhood does in the near future, because they will turn to strict Muslim law to control their people and anyone else they can. If you plan to visit Egypt any time soon you better read this report. “The Muslim Brotherhood, which won success in the first round of parliamentary elections in Egypt last month, is reportedly set on turning the country's holiday resort 'sin-free'. Azza al-Jarf, a candidate for the Muslim Brotherhood, told supporters: "Tourists don't need to drink alcohol when they come to Egypt; they have plenty at home." "They came to see the ancient civilization, not to drink alcohol," he added.” “Speaking to private television network Dream TV, he said: "A five-star hotel with no alcohol, a beach for women - sisters - separated from men in a bay where the two sides can enjoy a vacation for a week without sins." You may ask what does this report have to do with the Psalm 83 war? It just shows us the direction the new Egyptian government is headed by the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood. I believe it will be because of the Muslim Brotherhood that they will make a move to destroy Israel. This report tells us “There are around 15 million visitors to Egypt every year”. I would think as the result of the Muslim Brotherhood’s control in the new Egyptian government many of the people who would have traveled to Egypt will be traveling to some where else. At a time when Egypt needs to keep their people employed, all that is going to happen is people will stay away from Egypt and cause the tourism to keep sliding in Egypt, hence say goodbye to more jobs!

Speaking about the Muslim Brotherhood, a report out with the headline “Egypt holds second round of parliamentary election” is important because it shows us what direction Egypt will be headed in the very near future. At this point the Muslim Brotherhood has taken the lead. Knowing that Israel will be attacked by Egypt as seen in the Psalm 83 war what are the odds the Muslim Brotherhood will not win the second round Egypt?


Just as in the first round, queues formed early at some polling stations

Egyptians are going to the polls in the second round of elections to a new parliament - the first since President Hosni Mubarak was toppled in February. Voting has been relatively peaceful, with no major irregularities reported. The first round earlier this month was dominated by Islamist parties, with the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party winning a third of vote. They are set to consolidate their gains this week, with polling taking place in more rural and conservative areas. The long and complex election process will not be completed until next month. The aim is to elect a lower house of parliament, which will then appoint a 100-member committee to draft a new constitution.

Urgent Message! Last Days, Don't Burn! FMIUSA version of Firecharger's video



Bro. Frank,
Thanks so much for posting the video from Gary Stearman which analyzes the probable mis-interpretation of the scripture in the KJV from the original Greek of Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians in chapter 2 verse 3. I believe this is another excellent and probably definitive example of conclusive evidence to support the theological position of the pre-tribulation rapture of the church and to refute the interpretation in the KJV which reads “a falling away” instead of “the departure” as interpreted in many early English Bibles, or possibly more accurately, according to Strongs, “the separation”. In addition to the work by Gary Stearman, Dr. Thomas Ice has also written a very good analysis of this scripture at www.bibleone.net/print_tbs118.html which references the work of Dr. E. Schuyler English regarding the proper interpretation of this passage of scripture. Researching the validity of their position and their conclusions is very easy with the resources available to us on the internet; even for amateur researchers such as myself. The pre-KJV early English Bibles mentioned are all available for viewing on the internet as is the Greek New Testament with references to Strong’s. The Wesley Center has a number of them available on-line for review. I reviewed a number to sources cited in Stearman’s work and found the following: Regarding the mis-translation of the word “the” into the word “a”, which precedes the term “falling away” in the KJV; in the Greek New Testament (available on-line at the Wesley Center and easily understood with Strong’s references) the Strongs reference is 3588 and the interpretation of the Greek word clearly appears to be “the”, or “the one”, or “it”, which indicates a specific thing or event rather than the general thing or event which would be indicated by the word “a”. In addition, the Coverdale Bible which precedes the KJV uses the word “the”. So, it appears that the original Greek intention was to indicate a specific rather than a general thing or event which changes the nature of the scripture dramatically, since we now are to look for a specific occurrence of the event which follows the word “the”. The Greek NT word which was mis-interpreted by the KJV which follows “the” is “apostasia” which has a Strong’s reference number of 646. Strong’s definition of this word, (from which our word apostasy is derived) is defection, falling away or forsake. The interesting fact is that, according to Strongs, this is a form of the following word (647) “apostasion” which indicates separation from or to separate. Obviously from the foregoing descriptions, the Greek word “apostasia” was intended to indicate that a falling away is, by definition, being separated from where you are now. As such, early translators of the Bible that preceded the KJV almost universally used the word “departure” to interpret the Greek word “apostasia” instead of falling away. I looked at the Geneva Bible, The Tyndale Bible and Coverdale Bible. All three of these translations, which precede the KJV used the word “departure” or “departing” in II Thes 2:3 to describe the event that must occur “FIRST” before the man of sin (anti-christ) can be revealed. (Tyndale is “departynge first” (Coverdale is “departynge come first” (Geneva is “departing first” . Dr. Ice also mentions that Jerome’s Latin Vulgate from about A.D. 400 renders “apostasia” with the word “discessio” which means departure. The foregoing would appear to indicate conclusively that the Greek NT was referring to the specific event of a departure, or departing or possibly more accurately a separation from our current situation or position. Dr. Ice writes that no one knows why the KJV version was completely different from the preceding versions. My personal opinion is that the English word apostasy was probably becoming almost universally used by that time to refer to a falling away or departure from or separation from the true faith and the KJV translation just used that more current definition of the Greek word “apostasia” rather than the translation into departure or separation from which appears to have been the original intent. One final piece of evidence needs to be discussed in order to support the fact that departure or separation is the proper interpretation of the word “apostasia” to use in this passage of scripture. Obviously the word as used in the sentence is a noun, indicating a specific thing, event or place. “Apostasia” is not followed by another noun, so it is impossible to indicate that the word is used in the sentence in a descriptive manner, which might be necessary if the interpretation was “falling away”. The question would be; “falling away from what? Paul does not indicate what this “falling away” is, probably because he knew that his first century readers would clearly understand that he was telling them of the departure or separation of the church prior to the revelation of the anti-christ. This is probable since II Thes. was written to correct false teaching that the church in Thessalonica had received telling them that the resurrection and the departure or catching away of the church Paul prophesied to them in I Thes. had already occurred. As such, the church there and then would know that Paul was describing the event of the catching away or rapture of the church. I think we in modern times have always loosely quoted this scripture as “in the last days there will be a great falling away from the faith.” I’m certain that everyone has heard this passage preached upon in that way, and then followed by many examples of how the church is, without doubt, falling away from the faith. However, in this context and in the Greek and in the KJV it is obvious that the word is used as a noun with no additional description, except to say that this departure will occur FIRST before the revelation of the man of sin. As such, our addition of the concept of falling away “from the faith” is presumptive based upon our current use of the word apostasy which would indicate a falling away from the faith. The original text did not add this and we cannot add it either in order to determine the proper use of the word in its original context. In summary, while the forgoing appears to conclusively indicate that Paul was referring to the departure or separation of the church prior to the revelation of the man of sin (anti-christ) and was not referring to a general falling away from the faith of the church or even the end time falling away from the faith of the church (which is occurring daily); I would submit that, even if you use the KJV interpretation of falling away, you must conclude that, in this context, falling away should indicate a departure or separation from your current position or situation. This means a physical falling away and not a theological falling away, which would be indicated by a falling away from the faith, which is the current use of the word apostasy. This further serves to remind us of possibility of the return of Christ at any time and instead of bring fear into our heart, should drive us as believers in Christ into fulfilling the Great Commission to share the gospel to all unbelievers. Now is not the time to sit down and wait and hope for a quick escape, it is time to get to work for the Lord! Tim Moore
