A CONVERGENCE OF LAST DAY’S SIGNS

A convergence is a coming together of many things and in this context, a coming together of last days' signs the Bible told us to watch for. These signs are exploding. We don't just watch them; now we almost feel them. Here's a sample:

1) The "days of Noah" similarities have never been stronger. Corruption and violence characterized times then and now. There was genetic manipulation then and now. There was a preaching of the truth that was ignored. A decline in man's character was dramatic then and now. Earthly pleasures were all that mattered.  (Matt. 24, Luke 17)

2) Other than at her birth on May 14, 1948, Israel's modern-day significance has never been so significant. She is the center of the earth in so many ways: Politically, spiritually, geographically. Middle East tension or peace depends on her activity and choices. She could strike Iran any day and the entire globe would be destabilized. (Ezekiel 36-39)

3) Russia and Vladimir Putin are rising and Gog from the land of Magog may be stirring. We don't know for sure that Putin is Gog, but he is Gog-esque. He's a Czar wannabe and a tyrant and he will likely not stop with Crimea or Ukraine. (Ezekiel 38-39)

4) We have seen the rise of the "King of the South," Egypt. She has been prominent since the "Arab Spring" of 2011. She is currently out of the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood but that may be temporary. She is one of Israel's chief end-time enemies. (Daniel 11)

5) Technology is raging and that needs to happen for the Antichrist system to be installed. From "chip" technology to a cashless society, technology is racing and on fast-forward like never before. The "increase of knowledge" foretold in Daniel 12 is most prominent in the world of technology. The Antichrist system will be waiting for him to tap into. (Revelation 13, 17; Daniel 12)

6) Many are talking favorably about a one-world religion. Tony Blair has stated that he will spend the rest of his life pushing for this. The heads of many denominations and faiths see ecumenism as positive now. (Revelation 13, 17)

7) Apostasy is rising. Deception is the order of the day. While some claim there is yet to be a great revival, the Bible indicates that will next come in the Tribulation. Some of our most respected Christian leaders are being deceived. (Matt. 14; II Thess. 2; I Timothy 4)

8) The occult is soaring and much of it is drug-related as predicted. Witchcraft has never been so popular. The occult is normalized in the world and even the church. (Rev. 9; I Timothy 4)

9) Society is declining more rapidly than ever, and this ties in with point #1. There is the rampant rise of humanism, hedonism, immorality, and situation ethics. If it feels good, do it. (See Matt. 24; II Timothy 3; Jude 18: II Peter 3)

10) People are frantically running to and fro due to an increase in travel. In one generation, we have gone from the Wright Brothers to walking on the moon. (Daniel 12)

11) Christians and Jews are hated. The three-year rise in anti-Semitism and Christian persecution is staggering. Entire Christian communities in the Mideast and Africa are on the run.  (Luke 21)

12) There is an intense longing for a "Mr. Fix-It." The world yearns for a man with a plan who can fix the earth. In 2007 and 2008, many thought he was Barack Obama. Actor Mel Gibson recently stated that, "Someone must arise from the ashes and save us."

13) There are "signs in the Heavens."  We had the prominent Comet Ison in 2013 and we have blood moons coming in 2014 and 2015. (Luke 21; Joel 2)

14) Global instability is leading to much discussion about global government. Not one government anywhere works very well. Satan is stirring the pot everywhere. Global problems require global solutions. Most believe we are just one crisis away from global government. (Revelation 13)

15) The rise of evil is shocking. Righteous people can hardly stand to look at it. The corporate church is still here and is a positive restraining force. Imagine the level of evil when the church is gone. (II Timothy 3)

This "convergence" is unprecedented. It has never happened before with this intensity.

BIRTH PANGS – Record Breaking Earthquakes shook the Planet in April 2014

The month that shook the world: Incredible time-lapse reveals planet as it was rocked by record-breaking earthquakes in April

“And there will be GREAT EARTHQUAKES in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven” Luke 21:11

The 6.0-magnitude earthquake that jolted parts of Indonesia today served as a reminder of just how active the seemingly-solid ground beneath us can be. And these reminders have become increasingly frequent. On average, the world only sees one or two earthquakes per month that are 6.5-magnitude or higher.   But April produced a higher-than-normal number of the major seismic events, as revealed in this incredible time-lapse video.   According to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC), which issues alerts for tsunamis, there were 13 major earthquakes in April. Five were higher than 7.8, which prompted tsunami warnings. Moderate-to-large earthquakes are less common, but last month was ‘easily a record foWV-3/12/2012r this institution,’ according to the PTWC. The time-lapse video at the link takes you on a journey of all recorded large and medium-sized earthquakes that took place from January through to April of this year...http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2618795/The-month-shook-world-Incredible-time-lapse-reveals-planet-rocked-record-breaking-earthquakes-April.html#ixzz30gKDqFoj

Jesus stated that prior to His return, there would be an increase of large earthquakes worldwide...Earthquakes have certainly been a part of human history since the beginning of time, however, significantly large earthquakes have been increasing in frequency and ferocity in recent decades.  The US Geological service and other scientific earthquake authorities have shown that the number of earthquakes above 6.0 on the richter scale have grown exponentially over the last 10 years. (Source:  US Geological Service significant earthquake data page & The Horizon Project)...There have been more earthquakes above 6.5 on the richter scale in the last 10 decade, than the previous 80 years put together.

(Source:  US Geological Service historical worldwide earthquake quake data & http://www.earth.webecs.co.uk)...Of the most powerful earthquakes in recorded history, 3 of the 10 have occurred in the past seven years and 6 of the 10 most powerful quakes ever have occurred in our lifetime (Source:  “NPR: Weeks, the Recorded History of Quakes is a Long One“).  

The Bible also speaks of tsunamis taking place in the same context of the end times.  Jesus stated in Luke 21:25:  “And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides“.  Two of the greatest tsunamis (or tidal waves) in history took place in the previous 7 years.

~ The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed over 230,000 people in 14 countries and caused $14 billion dollars of damage.   The waves were an estimated 30 meters (100 feet) tall when they slammed into Indonesia.  (Source:  Wiki)

~ The 2011 Great Earthquake of Japan generated a giant tsunami that killed over 15,000 people and destroyed 125,000 buildings in northeastern Japan.  It is estimated to become the most costly natural disaster in human history.  (Source:  Reilly, Michael  “Japan’s quake updated to magnitude 9.0″)

The trend of increasing large earthquakes referenced by Jesus are not isolated, but are taking place simultaneously with the other key last-days signs also spoken of in the Bible.  Jesus said that when we see all of these things taking place, we would know that his return was very near...see the video below for proof of the convergence of these signs.  (Source: http://endtimesonline.net/earthquake-evidence/)...and A Convergence of Last Day’s Signs below.

Yom Haatzmaut - Israel’s 66th Independence Day

Celebrate Israeli Independence Day May 5th and 6th - with 66 Israeli heroes sharing a powerful message! Hear their stories. Live their dreams...is the national day of Israel, commemorating the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948.

Rejoice with Israel!  Our calling is to pray into the re-gathering of the Jews to Israel where God will fulfill what He’s spoken. 

“For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God.” (Ezek. 36:24-28).

‘SMILE OF HEAVEN' REMOVED FROM AMERICA

The prophetic words delivered in 1789 by President George Washington in his first inaugural speech echoed loud and clear Wednesday evening in the chamber of the U.S. Capitol’s Statuary Hall...http://www.wnd.com/2014/05/harbinger-rabbi-smile-of-heaven-removed-from-america/

And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. EKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. Daniel 5:25-28

The Rise of the False Prophet? Pope implores governments to redistribute wealth to the poor

Pope Francis called Friday for governments to redistribute wealth to the poor in a new spirit of generosity to help curb the “economy of exclusion” that is taking hold today. Francis made the appeal during a speech to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the heads of major U.N. agencies who met in Rome this week. Latin America’s first pope has frequently lashed out at the injustices of capitalism and the global economic system that excludes so much of humanity, though his predecessors have voiced similar concerns. On Friday, Francis called for the United Nations to promote a “worldwide ethical mobilization” of solidarity with the poor in a new spirit of generosity...http://www.cbsnews.com/news/pope-implores-governments-to-redistribute-wealth-to-the-poor/

“Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:1-17

And Knowledge Shall Be Increased

"But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." Daniel 12:4

“The new technologies that will change human civilization as we know it”

http://hplusmagazine.com/2014/05/13/the-new-technologies-that-will-change-human-civilization-as-we-know-it/

By 2029 computer will exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to that of a human, and that by 2045 computers will be a billion times more powerful than all of the human brains on Earth...driverless cars, pioneered by Google and Tesla, could be introduced as early as 2016...Robotic exoskeletons like Iron Man will augment our physical capacities...Regenerative medicine offers even more promises than artificial limbs and body parts. What if instead of having a robotic arm, you could regrow completely your original arm? Sounds impossible? It isn't...Not only will all diseases and neuropsychological problems with a genetic cause disappear, but humans will also become more resistant to stress, fatigue and allergens, and could choose to boost their potential mental faculties and physical abilities, creating "superhumans". This is known as transhumanism...

RENO, Nev. — On a farm about six miles outside this gambling town, Jason Chamberlain looks over a flock of about 50 smelly sheep, many of them possessing partially human livers, hearts, brains and other organs...the biological co-mingling of animal and human is now evolving into even more exotic and unsettling mixes of species, evoking the Greek myth of the monstrous chimera, which was part lion, part goat and part serpent.

“Transhumanists: Superhuman Powers And Life Extension Technologies Will Allow Us To Become Like God”

http://www.pakalertpress.com/2014/05/14/transhumanists-superhuman-powers-and-life-extension-technologies-will-allow-us-to-become-like-god/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+pakalert+%28Pak+Alert+Press%29

If you could merge your current mind and body with technology that would give you superhuman powers and would allow you to live forever, would you do it?  This is essentially what the transhumanism movement is seeking to accomplish.  Transhumanists envision a day when technology will allow humanity to become so advanced that sickness, disease, poverty and war will essentially be eradicated.  They believe that merging with machines will permit us to become trillions of times more intelligent than we are today, and they also believe that radical life extension technologies will make it possible for humanity to actually achieve immortality.  Many transhumanists are convinced that such a world can be achieved within their lifetimes...Just a few decades from now, transhumanists believe that superhuman powers and extremely advanced life extension technologies will allow them to essentially become like gods.

...and these are just a small sampling of similar “end-time” technologies which are currently under development , or already in use.  The last article title is particularly grabbing - where have we heard this before?  Isaiah 14:12-15 says Lucifer sought to be like the Most High God...and the results v15 “you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit.”...humanly trying to become like God will end in the eternal destruction of ones soul.  The Bible says “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of KNOWLEDGE” Proverbs 1:7...and Colossians 20:9-14 states “...ask that you may be filled with the KNOWLEDGE of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the KNOWLEDGE of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.” This KNOWLEDGE and this promise will make you “Rapture Ready”.

How long will the Almighty God, the creator of the universe and everything in it allow His created to alter His creation?  These are further signs of how close we are to our redemption!..."Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the Day of the Lord is coming; SURELY IT IS NEAR." Joel 2:1 ..."Now when these things (signs of the times, like an exponential increase in knowledge) begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near."  Luke 21:28 ...so if you seek increased knowledge, with what time is left, you should ”grow in the grace and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen” 2 Peter 3:18

Is The Middle East on the Verge of the Psalm 83 War?

“…For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.  For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You: The tents of Edom [Palestinians & Southern Jordanians] and the Ishmaelites [Saudis]; Moab [Palestinians & Central Jordanians] and the Hagrites [Egyptians]; Gebal [Hezbollah & Northern Lebanese], Ammon [Palestinians & Northern Jordanians], and Amalek [Arabs of the Sinai Area]; Philistia [Hamas of the Gaza Strip] with the inhabitants of Tyre [Hezbollah & Southern Lebanese]; Assyria [Syrians & Northern Iraqi’s] also has joined with them…” Psalm 83:2-8

An update on some very recent headlines below - note every single confederacy group of Psalm 83 is identified (and highlighted below) as currently being in a state of war or readiness for war, and all have a prior stated mission (overt or covert) of cutting off Israel…not much of a stretch to have them now all come together and consult with one consent to destroy Israel.

…the following is the headline which prompted this commentary

“Is the Middle East on verge of a regional war?”

https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/blogs/politics/11562-is-the-middle-east-on-verge-of-a-regional-war

News coming from the capitals of the Middle East indicate that a regional war is nigh: military drills in Saudi Arabia under the pretext of fighting terrorism, others between Egypt and the UAE, and a third between Jordan and Turkey…the Israeli navy is deployed along the Gazan coasts and intensifies its presence in the Mediterranean…Hezbollah fighters are deployed on the Syrian borders in anticipation of Israeli surprises in the Golan Heights…Hezbollah has a comprehensive plan in coordination with the Syrian army to confront armed takfiris in the Golan Heights, allegedly protected by Israel…the region is heading to military escalation on more than one front and everyone is worried about what is yet to unfold.

Then the noose would be complete…Israeli intelligence sources claim that they together command the loyalty of 40,000 fighters.

“Pope Will Recognize Palestine And Calls For The End of Israel's Occupation”

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/180779#.U3uUJdywg9U

Palestinian Authority (PA) and Arab Christian sources are already celebrating Pope Francis's visit to Israel starting next Sunday, saying his choice to begin the trip directly in PA-held Bethlehem is meant to "recognize Palestine" and "oppose the [Israeli] occupation."…"This visit will help us in supporting our struggle to end the longest occupation in history," said Ziyyad Bandak, Abbas's adviser.

Israel’s complete defeat of this inner circle of surrounding Arab nations and populations of Palestinians, Syrians, Saudi Arabians, Egyptians, Lebanese, Jordanians and Iraqi al-Qaeda will result in Israel’s borders being greatly enlarged (see map http://watchmansview.com/New_Israel_Borders.html), their prosperity will be increased through possession of new resources, and their world-wide stature greatly enhanced.

“No longer will the people of Israel have malicious neighbors who are painful briers and sharp thorns. Then they will know that I am the Sovereign LORD. This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When I gather the people of Israel from the nations where they have been scattered, I will show myself holy among them in the sight of the nations. Then they will live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob. They will live there in safety and will build houses and plant vineyards; they will live in safety when I inflict punishment on all their neighbors who maligned them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.”  Ezekiel 28:24-26

This is very likely the event that causes Israel to “dwell securely” and take down their walls and gates (Ezekiel 38:11) fulfilling this prophecy prior to the War of Gog and Magog.

In addition to Psalm 83 (or in support of), as further prophetic evidence of this impending Regional War, there are many unfulfilled wars prophesied for this region in the Bible:

Edom [Palestinians & Southern Jordanians] – Ezekiel 25:14, Jeremiah 49:10, and Obadiah 1:18,

Ammon [Palestinians & Northern Jordanians] – Jeremiah 49:2, Zephaniah 2:9, Isaiah 11:14,

Moab [Palestinians & Central Jordanians] – Zephaniah 2:9, Isaiah 11:14,

Philistia [Hamas of the Gaza Strip] – Ezekiel 25:15-17, Isaiah 11:14,

Saudi Arabia – Ezekiel 25:13

Egypt – Isaiah 19:16-18

This imminent Middle East War will be a very major and devastating war, and very well could breakout during the midst of the four blood moon triad (see significance of this here http://watchmansview.com/Blood_Red_Moons.html). The Arab confederacy of Psalm 83 will be defeated and destroyed by the IDF to fulfill the purpose of the Lord God Almighty “That they may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord, Are the Most High over all the earth.” Psalm 83:18

Some verses that point to a Middle East War that is fast approaching:

“But the days are coming, "declares the LORD," when I will sound the battle cry against Rabbah of the Ammonites [Ammon, Jordan]; it will become a mound of ruins, and its surrounding villages will be set on fire. Then Israel will drive out those who drove her out," says the LORD.” Jeremiah 49:2

“Turn and flee, hide in deep caves, you who live in Dedan [Saudi Arabia], for I will bring disaster on Esau at the time I punish him [Southern Jordan].” Jeremiah 49:8

"Like a lion [confederacy of Esau] coming up from Jordan's thickets to a rich pastureland [Israel], I will chase Edom from its land in an instant. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? Who is like me and who can challenge me? And what shepherd can stand against me?" Jeremiah 49:19

A Watchman’s View

Nuclear Showdown In Iran – The Ancient Prophecy of Elam

As world leaders script the final pages of human history, events foretold long ago continue to unfold. Amidst the backdrop of global uncertainties, one thing remains unchanged.

“The end has been declared since the beginning.” (Isaiah 46:9-10)

Ancient prophecies cleverly disguised in sovereign circumstances present wisdom to the wise. To Know or not to know, this is the question.

Nuclear Showdown in Iran, The Ancient Prophecy of Elam provides the reader with invaluable insights into the nearest future. This book reveals the potential relevance of an ancient prophecy concerning Iran’s nuclear program that has been vastly overlooked. Additionally, it explores and sequences other age old biblical predictions that are also about to happen.

There is a tug of war going on in the world’s next nuclear hotspot, and it’s partially political, but mostly spiritual. While Iran’s Islamic leaders experiment with the atom, scores of their countrymen embrace its maker. There is a crisis taking place in Iran, and it’s far more reaching than the mainstream news media is reporting. Seventh Century Islam and state censored media have finally met their match in Christian satellite TV.

Have you heard that miracles, visions and dreams are occurring with regularity, causing throngs of Iranians to convert to Christianity? From approximately 500 believers in 1979, to several million today, Iran is the fastest growing evangelical population in the world. Christianity is burgeoning so rapidly that the rogue Islamic regime has instituted harsh policies intended to curb its growth.

Over the past couple of years, home churches in Iran have been closed, pastors imprisoned, and believers severely persecuted. Meanwhile, the modern marvel of satellite TV is being directed by the Holy Spirit to transform Iran into a Christian nation.

Why should you care? Perhaps because,

• Ancient predictions are unfolding in modern times,
• Present paranormal events are shaping mankind for a supernatural future,
• Advanced human technologies are being manipulated by invisible forces,
• The Middle East Theater is being staged for the final showdown between good and evil.

Not enough? Then what about,

• An uncontrollable nuclear arms race unleashed in the Middle East?
• Thousands of missiles launched into Israel?
• OPEC oil supplies cut off from world markets?
• Increased terrorism throughout the world?

Need more? Then imagine this,

• Gas prices hovering over $12.00 per gallon,
• Favorite public places targeted by terrorists,
• Sizeable metropolitan areas infected with incurable viruses,
• Wide scale ATM shutdowns for lack of electricity,
• NO GAS, NO MONEY, NO FOOD, NO WATER!

As you can tell by now, this is not a bestselling woman’s devotional book. However, it is a biblically based manuscript that explains the prophetic relevance of certain key current events, and deposits hope for the reader throughout.

As you traverse through these pages, you will come face to face with a generally unrevealed prophecy. Evidence will be provided that enables you to decipher whether or not this prediction is meaningful to you. Painstaking lengths have been undertaken to provide the reader with ample research to make a final determination.

In the end analysis you might conclude along with me, that the ancient prophecy of Elam predicts nothing short of a Nuclear Showdown in Iran.

“The Size Of The Derivatives Bubble Hanging Over The Global Economy Hits A Record High”

The global derivatives bubble is now 20 percent bigger than it was just before the last great financial crisis struck in 2008.  It is a financial bubble far larger than anything the world has ever seen, and when it finally bursts it is going to be a complete and utter nightmare for the financial system of the planet.  According to the Bank for International Settlements, the total notional value of derivatives contracts around the world has ballooned to an astounding 710 trillion dollars ($710,000,000,000,000).  Other estimates put the grand total well over a quadrillion dollars.  If that sounds like a lot of money, that is because it is.  For example, U.S. GDP is projected to be in the neighborhood of around 17 trillion dollars for 2014.  So 710 trillion dollars is an amount of money that is almost incomprehensible.  Instead of actually doing something about the insanely reckless behavior of the big banks, our leaders have allowed the derivatives bubble and these banks to get larger than ever.  In fact, as I have written about previously, the big Wall Street banks are collectively 37 percent larger than they were just prior to the last recession.  "Too big to fail" is a far more massive problem than it was the last time around, and at some point this derivatives bubble is going to burst and start taking those banks down.  When that day arrives, we are going to be facing a crisis that is going to make 2008 look like a Sunday picnic.  Read further details here: http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-size-of-the-derivatives-bubble-hanging-over-the-global-economy-hits-a-record-high

Every time there's a major stock market correction, the ripple effect impacts the entire world.  From 2000 to 2002, the tenth worse stock market crash ever recorded occurred.  As a result, it lasted 999 days with a 37.8% loss in income...In very recent memory, the stock crash of 2008 (which we are still reeling from globally) saw $1.2 trillion dollars lost and the stock market dropped 777 points (interesting in itself, but it also occurred on Rosh HaShana, September 29, 2008) - two trillion dollars of peoples retirement savings were lost!

Considering the article above, as bad as things look now, we know from Bible prophecy, that during the Tribulation period, humanity will face a “worldwide” economic collapse. In response, the Antichrist and the False Prophet, who rule the world during that time, institute a global financial system.  To rescue themselves from the famines and the horrible distress that the worldwide economic collapse brings, people will readily join the antichrist system...We can clearly see today from the article, the enormous stress that is currently on the worldwide economy, so much so that economic collapse is not a matter of IF, but WHEN, the entire global financial structure is going to finally collapse.  It is not hard to see how the world in desperation will search for a one-world leader to take charge and bring some resemblance of order back from the global chaos which occurs...”He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” Revelation 13:16,17  Make no mistake about it, the global economy is on the brink of an unprecedented  reset, setting the stage for Biblical prophecy to be fulfilled - surely we are living in the last of the last days and seeing the stage being set (in real time) for all of these things to come! 

A potential tie in with THE SUPER BLOOD MOON in September of 2015 is very well presented by Lu Vega, who points to “ The End of the Shmita and Coming World Economic Reset” is worth the time to read, and linked here: The Super Blood Moon "Encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near."  Hebrews 10:25b

“I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord.” Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem! Jerusalem is built As a city that is compact together, Where the tribes go up, The tribes of the Lord, To the Testimony of Israel, To give thanks to the name of the Lord. For thrones are set there for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.” For the sake of my brethren and companions,  I will now say, “Peace be within you.” Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good.”  Psalm 122
