American Dollar Total Collapse worth less than toilet paper

Does it Really Work like this?

Hugo Chavez at the UN 2006, calls Bush The Devil.

I linked this video in the comments section of the post below. This is an amazing speech that I hope everyone here has had the chance to see. There is a spiritual uprising going on, an "awakening" that affects everyone in the world some way or another. Chavez spoke of the spiritual war that is being waged against all of the people of the world. Notice how he discusses the "people of the South" who are rising up. Obviously, Chavez is from South America, but he extends his hand out to nations around the world (many of which have been attacked, ignored, and/or exploited by the American empire) and he seems to be addressing them in his speech, and not just the Venezuelan people. Chavez is a Believer in Christ, and since his speech is clearly rich with Biblical language, perhaps Chavez read something that makes him relate to "people of the South", and see George Bush as an evil "King of the North".

Introduce Daniel 11:20-24, which is the story of the "Kings of the North" and "Kings of the South" fighting through several wars and generations throughout history, until the final Day of Judgment.
Vs:20

There shall arise in his place one who imposes taxes on the glorious kingdom; but within a few days he shall be destroyed, but not in anger or in battle."

This verse, I think, describes George H.W. Bush. His biggest political blunder was saying "read my lips, no new taxes" before hiking up taxes. That cost him the '92 election, where he was removed from power in the wake of his victory in Iraq.
Vs:21

And in his place shall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue.

Bush jr. wasn't elected by a popular vote, hence he did not have "the honor of royalty"...he didn't get in power by the usual means.
Vs:22

With the force of a flood they shall be swept away from before him and be broken, and also the prince of the covenant.

This seems to be referring to 9-11, which was an attack on America, and an attack on Christ's teaching of how we should treat our enemies.
Vs:23

And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people.

This represents the natural effect of a boastful liar who claims to be good, but whose actions are evil. Only the brainwashed "base" will stay with him, but by law he has tremendous power, and despite high disapproval ratings, he has successfully gathered more executive power than any president in history.

He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.

This seems familiar when looking at the $700Billion Wall Street Bail Out, but it also applies to other aspects of his presidency. War Profiteering also comes to mind, for instance.


Likewise, the powerful Last Days prophecy of Joel chapter 2 (read it here) says,

"never again will I make you an object of scorn to the nations. I will drive the northern army far from you, pushing it into a parched and barren land."

Chavez wasn't calling for a political revolution. He saw spiritual revolution on the horizon, indeed happening at the time, and strengthening now. Chavez announced this before the United Nations. Praise the Lord!

I have deactivated comments to this post in order to continue the conversation below. If any of you feel led to publish a post of your own view about what the next step should be, please do so. This is a good time to have in depth discussion about the matter of what our idea of "the next step" is... What has been shared so far about the subject is very strong meat, and very timely.

How wonderful it is to be a part of such a unique, set-apart group. Coming here and hearing so many common views from different sources is a great blessing. I don't know about you all, but I have felt stronger in the spirit since yesterday...more confident. I had a good friend call me up with a "you've been right all along" remark while Bush was addressing the nation last night. I really think that Bush is stepping over the line this time, and people are snapping out of their apathetic hypnosis.

The devil Will Not Win! People are getting ready to listen! The masses are coming to realize how serious this time is. May the Light of God's truth continue to spread throughout this dark world, through all of his servants.

The Economy From Hell

The events of the past week have caused the entire worldwide capitalist system to tremble at it's very foundation. This sort of economic virus clearly shows why "globalism" isn't such a good idea after all. But it's too late to stop. "Globalism" is the politically correct term for the New World Order, which, like Babel, seeks to create what Peter calls A brotherhood of men without the Fatherhood of God.

I was reading through the Psalms tonight, and was blessed to find something very interesting.

On Monday 9-15 Lehman Brothers went bankrupt and Merrill Lynch was bought out by Bank of America.

Psalm 9:15 says,

The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

The U.S. government had to "bail out" yet another major company, AIG on Wednesday. AIG was given a "Bridge Loan" for $85Billion . Mind you, all of this happened about a week after the massive U.S. government takeover of Mortgage Gurus Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Remember? The one that could cost taxpayers $5 Trillion! This truly is the economy from hell.

Earlier this year, I remarked that the food crisis was a fulfillment of Revelation 6:5-6 which describes the "Third Horseman of the Apocalypse". The Amplified Bible version says:

When He broke open the third seal, I heard the third living creature call out, Come and look ! And I saw, and behold, a black horse, and in his hand the rider had a pair of scales (a balance). And I heard what seemed to be a voice from the midst of the four living creatures, saying, A quart of wheat for a denarius [a whole day's wages], and three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not harm the oil and the wine!

There can be no rational doubt that American capitalism is the keystone of the world economy. This week we saw a domino effect of economic ruin that forced Russia to stop trading entirely midway through the week. A global rise in food and fuel prices has added 9 million people to the number of those who are starving to death because of their extreme poverty. Before this year, there were almost no cases of someone paying an entire days wages for a loaf of bread... but that part was being fulfilled in several countries by April of this year. But the second part, "And do not harm the oil and the wine", is referring to the upper crust, the elite. While the poor are being gouged, the rich are being protected and rewarded...does that sound familiar?

The Bush-approved stock market boosting "solution" to this catastrophe was to cancel the debt of the reckless, lawless bankers by writing a check on behalf of American taxpayers worth up to $700 Billion. Instead of distributing that money to citizens who are about to miss their mortgage payment one too many times...instead of using the people's money to help the people, Bush is paying off the Tycoon's debts. Bush has offered all sorts of blessings to the super-wealth that trades among the rest on Wall Street. I see this as nothing less than an overly-publicized bribe from Bush to his Cronies, at our expense. But this was all foretold. As the Shaking continues may you all stand firm and tall!

Psalm9:15-20

The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Psalm 10
Why do You stand afar off, O LORD?
Why do You hide in times of trouble?
The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor;
Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire;
He blesses the greedy and renounces the LORD.
The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God;
God is in none of his thoughts.

His ways are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
I shall never be in adversity.”
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.

He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the secret places he murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.
He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den;
He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
So he crouches, he lies low,
That the helpless may fall by his strength.
He has said in his heart,
“God has forgotten;
He hides His face;
He will never see.”

Arise, O LORD!
O God, lift up Your hand!
Do not forget the humble.
Why do the wicked renounce God?
He has said in his heart,
“You will not require an account.”

But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief,
To repay it by Your hand.
The helpless commits himself to You;
You are the helper of the fatherless.
Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man;
Seek out his wickedness until You find none.

The LORD is King forever and ever;
The nations have perished out of His land.
LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will prepare their heart;
You will cause Your ear to hear,
To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed,
That the man of the earth may oppress no more.

9-11, Seven Years of Ripening.

Although Peter makes an excellent point that 9-11-08 was the last day of peace before Hurricane Ike caused gas prices to skyrocket even further, which was followed by the current escalation in the economic downward spiral...that's obviously not what I was "predicting". The Lord will be glorified no matter what happens, so I am not too worried, and I am very relieved not to have said "Thus Saith the Lord" about 9-11-08. I've had glimpses and snippets of visions before, but I'm much more comfortable in learning about the past, and analyzing our present than I am in predicting the future.

That being said, it is possible for us to understand what will likely happen in the future, if we do the hard work of learning the hidden details of history (like the Media-ignored comparisons between Bush's 9-11, and Hitler's Reichstag fire). We can also understand what will likely happen in the future if we pay close attention to current events. Most people don't have the time for that, because their time is spent on their jobs, families, or other priorities of this world. But those people who have studied, because of a hunger to know the truth no matter what cost...people who come to know what's going on, who's behind it, and why it's happening are entrusted with "a message of hope for those who receive it, and a warning to those who will not".

The above quote is a lyric from the Psycho-spiritual-Metal band, "Tool". This band produced an album in the spring of 2001 that eerily predicted the post-9-11 world. Read the lyrics to Laturalus here. It's amazing.

What's more amazing, Alex Grey, who has painted the artwork for their album covers since 2001, actually predicted the post-9-11 world in a painting he made in 1989. The picture below shows two airplanes flying towards the twin towers in the background, and in the foreground, there are three characters: a "terrorist", a dark suit wearing gentlemen who looks suspiciously like George W Bush, and a "Dick" (as in, Dick Cheney). I am publishing this painting because of it's foresight and significance to the greater spiritual picture. I hope that I will not offend anyone by doing so.

This painting shows what I see as a combination of the tree of life, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It also expresses the two paths ahead of us that I saw in my vision at the church in the week after 9-11. Those who choose the way of light, and life and God have been transforming during the past seven years into a greater awareness, empathy and understanding of the universe. Those who choose the way of darkness, and selfishness, and vengeance have experienced an atrophy of the spirit. The lost are suffering from this. They have no idea what's going on. They do not see the writing on the wall, or the dots connecting themselves. The Biblical analogy of "light" and "darkness" is about comprehension. Spiritual darkness is a plague that effects the lost (who are guided by liars, and agents of the adversary). This plague also affects the wicked themselves.

I believe that because both the lost and the wicked are in darkness, we must not condemn those who are in darkness. "Done" recently remarked on that, warning those gathered here not to get sucked up into the same condemning spirit that has it's grip on most people. He makes a very important point. We must confront and stand up when we're facing a lie, but we must not eternally condemn the liar, because it is God's duty to judge who is a deceiver, and who has simply been deceived.

God will distinguish what to keep and what to throw away, and always has. Even still, Light must penetrate the darkness. The lost will not like light shining in their eyes at first, but it's the only way to get them out. The wicked will fight to destroy the light. None of us has perfect light, but we do all have some of that light within us. It is our sacred duty to share it, in love (patience, kindness, etc). That task is certainly difficult, but in Christ it is possible, and we must be in Christ to share the light. We know the darkness will be done away with, let us continue to proclaim it. To our friends, relatives, neighbors, and strangers. The harvest is plentiful, and ripening even now. This is a wonderful time to be rooted in the Rock of Christ.

John 1:4-5

In Him (Jesus, the Word) was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Jesus says in John 15:1-12

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

Love is the Key. We know this, but it's good to remember it constantly, and not to be lured away from it for any reason. If we begin to argue with others purely for the thrill of winning, we are not abiding in love. The truth can only be received if it is offered in love. We must act out of love, for God, for brother, for neighbor, for enemy, and for self. We must teach in love, share in love, and most importantly, demonstrate love. Love is the Light that has been given to us, and that we must give out. Praise the Lord!

1 Cor 13:1-3

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. more...

Wake Up America

Well here we go.
Perhaps Kevin's prophecy was that 9/11 would be the last peaceful day. as my night blooming Sirius bloomed to give peace and beauty, the shaking started.
Ike , Russia, Sara Palin and Lord knows what else behind the scene.
Today the Dow Jones was down 504 points, the worst day since 9/11
Capitalism is after all a religion, it is a economic system that is built on faith and usury. Could this be what Revelation is talking about
Rv: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.5: For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.6: Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.7: How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.8: Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.9: And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,10: Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.11: And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,13: And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.14: And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.15: The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,16: And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!17: For in one hour so great riches is come to naught.
Sad thing is most on Wall Street don't understand

Let the bank runs begin!
By Patrick Wood, Editor September 15, 2008
The immediate aftermath of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy will be a massive and manic flight to liquidity and withdrawal of funds and credit from banks, S&L's, insurance companies and brokerages, leading to more failures.
Nothing can stop it at this point.

Will America Be Attacked on 9-11-08?

Could America be the victim of another surprise attack on September 11th, 2008? I believe it's not only possible, it's extremely likely. Knowing how risky it is to make such a bold statement, I am willing to stake my claim at Prophecy by saying that yes, it will happen.

I have been pondering and hesitating over the post you are about to read for a very long time. But that is because I haven't heard the deep, separate, and echoey voice of God saying "Yes, America will be attacked by that Wolf who cries Terrorist (George Bush) on 9-11-08". I also don't know what will happen on the day itself.

What I have experienced are ideas, observations, and random thoughts that are more solid than my normal thoughts. These thoughts make me feel as though I know with certainty things that I have no business of knowing. I have always been very skeptical about those thoughts, and ashamed to experience them, because I knew that thoughts like that are a symptom of insanity. But I have come to believe that the prophets of the Old Testament also have those thoughts. And I'm willing to take the gamble and stake my reputation on this prophecy. We'll know for certain next Thursday.



Below is an account of when those "more solid thoughts" about Bush and 9-11-08 struck me:

1. In late November 2000, while the first Bush election was still up for grabs, I was in the car with my cousin Matt, and we were listening to "Antichrist Superstar"...Suddenly, I was compelled to tell him, "If Bush somehow wins this election, and then proves that he has been lying about all of his Christian morals of peace and compassion, and he somehow invades Iraq, you just watch, he'll turn out to be the Antichrist, because God wouldn't stand for it." I didn't take my own advice, and didn't really come to believe that Bush is the Antichrist until December 2004, but that was the first heavy thought.

2. On 9-11-01, when everything was falling apart, and everyone was in some state of shock, I had a certain thought that the Antichrist was behind the attacks, and that there would be another event, but not for another seven years (9-11-08). Sure enough, with Anthrax, and Snipers and School shootings plaguing America in the years between, there has not been a single attack on America that has been linked to Al Qaeda in the seven years since 9-11. I didn't believe that Bush was the Antichrist on that day. Like many, I suspected that it was Osama Bin Laden. But I knew the Antichrist was behind the attacks.

3. A week after 9-11-01, I went to church with my Mom, and instead of the normal Wednesday night Bible study, Trinity Broadcasting Network was holding a nationally televised prayer meeting in the sanctuary. At first, I just sat and listened to the angry, hurt, and vengeful prayers. I hoped that someone in line would set the course straight and pray for forgiveness...but none did. When I realized that none would say that, I got in the line. As I stood there I prayed that I was being rash, that there wasn't a spiritual cancer in the heart of the congregation that forgot forgiveness when it was needed the most. I prayed that someone else, anyone else, would say what was on my heart. None did.

At that time, I saw a very clear vision of America's destiny. I saw two paths ahead of the intersection of 9-11, and I knew that our reaction would determine which path we would go on. I knew for certain that we had to make the right choice, and go on the right path as soon as possible, because God would allow only seven years of this gross misrepresentation of Christ. I knew that if we fed the fear and the hatred in our souls, and if we believed that it was righteous, we would be doomed as a nation. I knew that we would be withered up in seven years time...and here we are. I also saw another pathway ahead of America, the high road. The way of peace, and mercy, and love. The way that normal Americans were when they responded to the victims of 9-11. I knew the greatest obstacle ahead of us was learning how important it is to love our enemies. And I knew that if we couldn't learn that, like the unforgiving servant, we would be judged as guilty by God himself.

4. In late December 2004, when the Tsunami hit, I felt like I was snapped out of a trance by the massive tragedy. It was then that I prayed for God to show me what was really going on in the world; if these were signs of the end; and if the Antichrist really was in power somewhere. I had an incredible hunger to get to the bottom of this "end of days" question, and to seek the truth at any cost. In short, I finally gave weight to some suspicions that I had for years...and my life was forever changed because of it. Two days later, I first saw the "Bush Is Antichrist" website, and a lot of things about the world seemed to come into sharp focus and make more sense.

5. In August 2005, eight months after coming to believe that Bush is the Antichrist, I started doing some real research about the 9-11 attacks. I soon realized that amazingly enough, 9-11 itself was carried out by a shadowy Western elite (and George Bush was in on it...which explains the strange behavior of the Secret Service that morning, along with a whole series of spiritual and moral questions). I later found out that Adolph Hitler created the Nazi dictatorship out of a German democracy based on "false flag" terrorist attacks, and the promise of enhanced security. But more on the serious Hitler/Bush connections in a later post.

6. Leading up to the 2006 elections, The head of the house I am living in was speculating that the Bush administration would stage another false-flag "terrorist attack" before the '06 Congressional elections. He felt that Bush couldn't afford to lose control of Congress to the Democrats that year, and so he would have to attack, or risk impeachment. My view was different. We all had our moments of speculation and analysis. We all wanted to know what would happen. This was the fall of 2006. My speculation felt more like a proclamation, and while it seemed pretty unlikely, I was very sure that it would happen. This is what I said:

"I believe that the Bush administration will wait until they're ready. I don't think they will be impeached unless it's part of the plan, But when they do strike, Karl Rove is going to be in legal trouble, and Bush is going to be going through some sort of Impeachment process. His impeachment will probably still be in debate on the house floor when it happens. Why do that? Because it would create a wave of sentiment for the Bush administration. They will go through the motions of being held accountable to what's left of the law, and then we will be attacked, to break the sovereignty of the law by the urgent need for security. The next major "Terrorist Attack" against America will happen right near the end of his term, because why would Bush waste his official time in office? He has no reason to attack until the clock is almost up, and he has to have some sort of excuse to continue in office, and that excuse will come from chaos. He will at least try to spin declaring Martial Law as a "public service", or a "last resort"...but it's really a massive power grab. I also think he struck a deal with some of the corporate heads who are a part of this Bohemian Grove / Bilderberg conspiracy. Bush promised to keep things peaceful for a set amount of time, so that they could maximize their profits, and maximize the debt of the masses during that time. I believe it's going to happen on September 11th 2008".

And here we are today...The economy is in shambles: we are experiencing a worldwide food and fuel crisis, an above-average abundance of Natural Disasters. In May of this year Asia experienced two extremely devastating natural disasters, Typhoon Nagis, and an earthquake in China. In June the Mississippi River flooded many areas along it's coast in the great floods of '08, and Dennis Kusinich introduced 35 articles for impeachment against George W Bush. In July, Karl Rove was held in Contempt of Congress because he didn't show up to testify in regards to the recent Justice Department scandal. So my improbable "speculation" has been coming true exactly so far.

On August 8th, The morning of the Olympics grand opening, Georgia (believing they were backed by NATO) began bombing the separatist region of South Ossetia (which is largely composed of Russian-speakers, and is part of the pre-communist Russian empire)...Russia fought back with a massive demonstration of military might, and there is talk now about how we are in a New Cold War. On August 18th, Perez Musharraf stepped down as president, leaving Pakistan in a "political vacuum". Things are shaky right now, and they could tip over very easily, but people are still looking away, still hoping for deliverance in the next presidential administration.

If there is a terrorist attack on September 11th, it would cause at least part of the "9-11 truth" movement to hit the streets in hope of starting a revolution. An attack on that day might also cause some gun-loving evangelicals to snap, and go on a crusade to kill liberals and "secular humanists" in the name of the Lord. Seven years is, after all, a very significant time-frame for people who are fascinated with the apocalypse in the mainstream church, and there are plenty of dangerous people who are obsessed with Armageddon, and have been taught for the past seven years that the "War on Terrorism" is righteous. So in some ways, 9-11 is the Achilles heel of America. After the reaction from the masses, Bush would have no choice but to declare Martial law, and use those Halliburton-built concentration camps to "quell domestic dissent".

In the movie, The Devils' Advocate, Al Pacino (the Devil) says, "I'm a surprise, they don't see me coming". Bush's plan is simple, and devious: it is to take over the world. He has the same ambition as Adolph Hitler...but for some reason, most people aren't willing or able to see that about him. He will strike on 9-11, and use the strike as an excuse to gather more power. And most just don't see him coming. But some do, praise God.

The Doomsday Clock Has No Snooze Button.

I found this video on youtube about a year ago, when World War 3 seemed much less of an immanent threat than it is today. But I found out that as of 2007, according to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, the so-called "Doomsday Clock" has been bumped up to 5 minutes 'till midnight.

To see the timeline of the Doomsday Clock, visit this link.

Most people these days are so totally preoccupied with just getting by, that they are completely oblivious to the very real danger that the world is in right now. Pakistan, the only Arab nation in the world that has a confirmed Nuclear Weapons program, is in political turmoil since Perez Musharraf resigned on August 18th. The U.S. and NATO are trying to eat away at traditional Russia, behaving in a way that could escalate easily and quickly into a Nuclear Holocaust. Truthfully, the bullying attitude pf NATO has worked for years, but Russia is calling their bluff, and things could get very ugly very quickly. The tribulation days are supposed to be worse than anything the world would ever see. A lot of the descriptions of the day of God's Wrath seem eerily similar to a post-nuclear apocalypse. The threat is real, and stronger than ever. May God have mercy when things do get out of control. He is our rock and our refuge, ever present in our time of trouble.

The end is near!

Many apologies. I've disappeared as sorts. I've been trying to focus on the events surrounding me right now and have been avoiding this blog for the most part. I love the spiritual company here and am most certainly looking forward to meeting you all (perhaps in the next life). But being here reminds me so specifically what is about to happen, and its something that I like to pretend to ignore.

I've been heavily fretting about the path that is in front of me right now, with the knowledge of current world events so transparent to me. I feel as though our spiritual "work" will be tenfold when the dam breaks. I am trying to focus on spreading seeds of belief, but I feel as though my work will be specific when I see certain signs start to appear more quickly. I feel more each day that my actions and mental preparations are guided directly by the Lords hand.

I feel that I have an understanding of how future events will unfold as sorts, and what I must do. I have been worrying too much recently, and I had a very profound dream two nights ago, one that I could not shake. Please read? :]

There's a car in front of me. It's me driving this car, but I'm looking at it from a 3rd person perspective. Its dark and I'm driving down an icy road slipping all over the place, almost hitting traffic or road barriers. I drift a bit and try to correct the steering and end up crashing into this glacier/snow mound that is next to the road. The car pushes through the glacier about 10 feet and comes to a stop. I get out and fall through a weak spot in the ice into a tunnel. I start sliding down the tunnel, looking up and seeing crystals embedded just behind the ice. The crystals are every color and form a line down the tunnel, and I slide down the path. I feel compelled to punch through the ice wall, and as I do I pull out a crystal sword. I do this a second time on the other side of the wall and pull out a crystal shield. Both of them clear and harder than any normal shield and sword, but both weighed almost nothing. The tunnel ends in a large underground crystal cavern, and I slowly slide to a halt. The room is illuminated by the crystals behind the ice, they start to light up the room more as I start to walk around and examine where I am at. I see tables set up in rows with a variety of items. There was food, backpacks, cooking supplies, weapons, armor, and many specific items to help me. I gather what I feel I need and walk through a doorway.

I'm teleported? Everyone is in fear around me. There's a giant man-eating serpant in the main water way/ watering hole. I see it swimming around looking for flesh to devour. I trick it into a small cove and I build a metal gate to keep him confined. The serpent trying to break through and cannot, it stirs up the water violently. The water becomes really muddy, but soon it settles and the serpent is revealed. A dead and lifeless thing.

I felt like I was nudged by God. I couldn't shake the dream, and I've meditated on its simple message.

Now that I've hopefully passed a small message of hope to you all, I have found something interesting. September 11th – the 7th year anniversary will be here in 10 days. YB and I discussed lightly how this might be an important date. I've been keeping my eyes and ears open to any signs, and have found the recent LHC news to be disturbing. Scientists around the world are trying to shut it down before its Sept
10th/11th “doomsday date”- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1051070/Landmark-experiment-unlock-secrets-Big-Bang-cause-end-world-say-scientists-court-bid-halt-it.html

It seems like right at and around Sept 11th some crazy things are going to happen. Keeps your eyes open and we'll see what happens right? I'm a skeptic with most “signs” but occasionally something hits me harder than normal, and I feel as this date will be important. I do love you all and I hope we can continue with some form of communication. FF, Sandra, and YB you are in my prayers and it saddens me that Stephen's site was shut down. Do not despair! The end is near but soon I will see you all in paradise.
