I wonder if people here are familiar with the prophecies of Siener Van Rensburg?

Among his startling prophecies was the death of Lady Diana, the Chernobyl Disaster, the release of Nelson Mandela from prison and the end of white rule in South Africa. He forsaw the AIDS epidemic as a result of immorality.

Of his homeland, South Africa, he foresaw the period from 1960 to 1994 when the South African government began to lose control of the situation on its own soil. From 1994 till the present he prophesied the false and violent peace of ANC rule which will continue until the death of Nelson Mandela.

As soon as Mandela dies, there will be a revolt and a civil war in 3 of the 7 provinces of South Africa. My current speculation is that Julius Malema will eventually be disciplined by the ANC leadership and, in response, lead his followers in the ANC Youth League in a rebellion against the party.

Van Rensburg, predicts the conflict will be brief and the rebellion smashed in the border town of Prieska. After this a new and balanced government will emerge and will rule until the Second Coming.

WHEREIN DWELLETH RIGHTEOUSNESS

2 Peter 3:10-13 (KJV)
10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Hebrews 12:25-29 (KJV)

25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh.  For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Amen. 
There is nothing like the word of the Lord to empower, strengthen and comfort in ways anew every time you read them.  The Bible is truly a living book for it comes alive within us when we read and our spirits are fed.  Much in the same way when we take in nourishment for our physical bodies, the word of the Lord nourishes and feeds our spirit that lives within us. I love all the words of the Lord and all His ways.  I yearn for the new earth and the new heavens and groan in ways only He can comprehend.

Looking back over the course of the past ten years, it is hard to believe that so many still do not the truth of what really happened on that day, those who still believe the lies.  I watched a few minutes of the memorial for 911 taking place in New York and seen Guiliani reciting Psalms.  I thought that was curious enough in and of itself, but there was quite a bit of ruccous caused over clergy not being allowed to speak at the event but those who perpetrated it can read from the Bible.  I didn't watch for very long but had the thought of how 'they' are tempting God in ways we do not even think or know about.  God knows everything. He sees all and is in control of it all.  He will not be mocked.  And there will be no place for them to hide themselves from His wrath when the appointed time arrives. 

Stay strong in the Lord and never give up hope.  His people will not be ashamed and He will not be ashamed to be our God.  What a glorious thought; what a glorious day that will be.

2 Peter 3:28 (KJV)
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  To him be the glory both now and for ever.  Amen.  

For when this corrupt earth passes away and all the things that can be removed are shaken and destroyed, the mighty word of the Lord will remain.

If one was paying attention to the events that are taking place all around the world, one might start to think the Bible is an exceedingly accurate portrayal of exactly what is taking place. And they would be exactly correct because it is an exceedingly accurate portrayal of the prophecy that is to be fulfilled before the glorious return of Jesus Christ.

There are three new tropical cyclones in the Atlantic and the Gulf - after a battering by two recent storms Lee and Irene.  There have been four solar flares from sunspot 1283 of which two were X-class (they are rated as X, M and C class flares with X-class being the most intense).  There's the Texas wildfires and a flooding river in Pennslyvania causing forced evacuations for a million people.  Prayers for all to find faith if they haven't already and for those who have faith to not be shaken but rather strengthened and renewed with the wisdom that all God's words are true.  He is in control.

Lights are out for California, Arizona and parts of Mexico with no clear reason why, although they don't attribute it to terrorism.  But, they are reporting that there is a new terror threat for the US on the anniversary of September thee 11th that is 'credible but unsubstantiated.'

Israel is making military preparations ahead of the UN vote on a Palestinian State. Turkey vows to challenge Israel at sea with an aid ship to Gaza.  Iran announces that its' Bushehr Nuclear plant will be launched on Monday and that it is fully prepared for an attack.  France has said a preemptive strike on Iran may be necessary.  US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says it is only a matter of time before an Iranian revolution happens and Iran has accused the West of meddling to spark the uprising.

Great calamities shall precede his Second Coming.  Indeed, and it is.

Matthew 24:33 KJV
So likewise ye,  when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

Amen.  Come Lord Jesus.
