Current Events 2006

CURRENT EVENTS 2006

Current events of the year of our Lord, 2006, and time marches on. What an exciting time to live, you know. I want to read… I want you to open your Bibles to Luke chapter 21 if you would. This is the chapter that tells exactly what is going to happen to you at the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, but also at the return of the false messiah-for as Christ ordered him off the earth, he will return.

Many will be delivered before him. How were you warned to observe, to look forward, to be careful, to take note? Our Father never leaves you wanting, He always keeps you informed. Why? He loves you.

So, Luke chapter 21, let's begin with verse 25 concerning the delivering, the time of the Gentiles must be completed, and then he gives us this warning, this advice,

Luke 21:25
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;(KJV)What a year we have had for that. We have had…with an earthquake in the Pacific, 9.0 on the Richter scale and a tsunami that killed over 215,000 souls, with water, with angry waves. You know, along our southern coast from Florida all the way to Texas in the gulf of Mexico, do you know what those hurricanes that destroyed so much, even the city of New Orleans, it wasn't wind that did it, it was waves, waves of water, for miles and miles and miles with total towns being washed away, such vast destruction that it should grab anyone's attention that things are not right. The nations in perplexity-look around the world today with terrorists running wild blowing up innocent people in trains, buses, cities, schools. In Russia itself, how many, 300 or better children destroyed in their own school. What a time we have had in this world as we observe for the perplexity of the nations, and the waves roaring.

What about the signs in the sun and the moon and the stars? Do you know how to look for signs there?

Luke 21:26
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.(KJV)And naturally when they are shaken you know what happens, that is when antichrist appears for he is jarred out, that's why you want to be on the rock, the real rock.

Luke 21:27
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.(KJV)And not until. These other things must come to pass, all of His enemies must be made His footstool before you are going to see Him coming. So, you got work to do.

How do you look for signs in the heavens? How do they speak to you?

Luke 21:28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.(KJV)

I will tell you one thing, I don't think in history you have ever seen the waves roar or the perplexity of the nations in the state they are now, in this generation of the Fig Tree, which we know from Mark 13, and Luke 21, this just being a side profile of that, that Christ returns at that time.

So you need to be alert and you need to observe. God uses symbology to teach with throughout the great Word of God. In the beginning sometimes He would use the rainbow. Many signs from heaven as a sign to you, it means something. Do you know how to read the signs of heaven? That is what is important. That's our warning device. That is how God speaks to us, in observing the sun, moon, and stars and the very nature itself . I might say, do you know what heated those waters at almost 90 degrees in the Gulf of Mexico that made Katrina so deadly? It was the sun.

The sun heated those waters. That sign came from there, only that wasn't a sign that was a reality. So bear with me and separate that which is real from symbolism and metaphorically we are going to cover some things today but that is how you read the signs. It is very important that a normal mind must be able to separate that which is actual and that which is metaphorical and still gain the knowledge that God would have you draw from that event.

Let's go to the great book of Psalms 84. Let's begin to learn from our Father's word, or to remind ourselves I should say because we have all covered it and we are all seasoned Christians and we know, but let's refresh ourselves in being able to understand our heavenly Father's Word. Psalms 84, I am going to pick it up with verse 9Learn how to observe what God instructs you to do. This is the most beautiful prayer and Korah and his sons guarded the door. They were the doorkeepers. I will just mention that in passing as we are starting here.

Ps 84:9
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.(KJV)

This has to do…who is The Annointed? Messiah. It is also God's elect who were anointed in the first earth age as God's set aside ones, as the Zadok, as those that have eyes to see and ears to hear and to know. Well, how did you get chosen? You earned it by serving God at that rebellion. But, who is your shield? You got one, I don't care how much trouble there is in the world, He that controls the whole world is your shield. It is promised. Now, people only fear when they don't realize that, when they can't come to that point of reality that God loves you and he is our shield.

Ps 84:10
For a day in thy courts (a day in the courts of Almighty God) is better than a thousand (let's complete the thought in the translation. It would be better to serve one day in the court of God then a thousand courts with the highest position in earthly courts. Any of you familiar with earthly courts today, judges and soforth?). I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.(KJV)

In other words to have the highest job in satan's wicked courts of today where judgment rarely is found. I am not judging anyone and I am not calling any numbers, but I would rather be in God's court there one day, be in His one court than a thousand high hats today. That's the way it should be. You should be looking forward to that. You want me to tell you why? You know, but I will remind you, because it is eternal. A day in His court is forever and a day in His court is blessings, not trouble.

Ps 84:11
For the LORD God is a sun (S.U.N. you are to observe the signs in the sun. Our Lord God is a sun) and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.(KJV)

Ps 84:12
O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.(KJV)

So, here we see a metaphorical way in the scriptures that God brings the cheering presence of Yah to you metaphorically in the sun. Again, as I warned you, don't go worshipping the sun. It is just a metaphor. What does the sun do? Well the sun is what warmed that water in the Gulf of Mexico and that was a reality.

When you plant your garden each year why do you think it grows? There are a number of reasons you know, you gotta have a little water and you gotta have the soil, but have you ever tried it without the sun? You know, it bleaches out pretty quick doesn't it?

It doesn't grow without the sun, so metaphorically you have He that brings joy and perfection, and symbolically speaking, stay with me now, I don't want to make any, I don't want to create any sun worshippers out of this. Don't need that, that's heathenistic. You have got to learn to read signs of that which is metaphorical put forth by God so that you see and understand His language. His scripture. So, what are we saying? God as the sun brings you joy.

So when the prophecy is read the sun turned dark, what does that mean? That means God withdraws Himself from the wicked, and it is a dark day metaphorically speaking, you got it? It isn't that the sun disappears, that is not going to happen, but in the dark days, it means that God, our sun, withdraws Himself to that point when darkness can come upon the earth and yet at the same time he reassures you, even at that point of darkness He brings you cheer and joy and grace. That is unmerited favor, even when you mess up on repentance

He forgives you and blesses you. Do you know what else it said? He is not going to withhold anything you need to do His work. You know, a wise Christian doesn't pray for something that is foolish, or a circus. You pray for what you need to do God's work and to be a…the life you need and the support of Almighty God and His blessings to be a fruitful servant. Do you know what a servant does? They work. A servant works. A servant produces fruit. The sun brings forth upon that person the ability to grow and produce that fruit.

While we are in the book of Psalms turn with me to the 19th Psalm. Let's understand more about how God speaks to us from the heavens.

Psalms 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.(KJV)

The heavens themselves declare the Glory of God, that's the sun and the moon and the stars. They talk to us? Of course they do. It is written. They not only talk it, they declare it, and God's glory within it. All you have to do is read and metaphorically, according to the scripture, understand what is happening around you.

Ps 19:2
Day unto day uttereth speech, (I mean day after day it sets forth. It is visible. The word "uttereth" even means prophecy. It utters prophecy to you) and night unto night (night after night) sheweth knowledge.(KJV)

I don't know, are you watching? Are you observing? Not without understanding the significance, that is to say the symbology that your Father utilizes to discuss with you that are chosen, God's elect, those that believe upon Him, those believers, how to follow Him.

Ps 19:3
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. (or on which there voice is not heard) (KJV)

It is everywhere. It is worldwide. Now, who is doing the talking here? The heavens. Well, we just kinda learned didn't we that the sun itself, metaphorically speaking, represents God our shield. He talks to you every day doesn't He? Are you listening? It rains down over the whole earth.Listen carefully:

Ps 19:4
Their line (that is to say their inheritance) is gone out through all the earth, and their words (what is their word? Their word is the law of God) to the end of the world. In them (In them what? In them, the heavens) hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,(KJV)

Now, don't read over that. What is a tabernacle? A pavilion, a citadel, a place of worship. Now, I am not trying to create, again, we are speaking metaphorically okay? You must understand that so you can read the signs of Almighty God. He actually sets a tabernacle there, a tent, for the sun whereby His Word, can come from the heavens and you can read it.

Ps 19:5
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.(KJV)

Getting it all set. When He, the bridegroom will come ultimately, the Messiah, which is anointed and blessed through the Father.

Ps 19:6
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, (from one end of heaven to the other) and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.(KJV)There is nothing hidden that is in-between. Do you understand that God opens everything to you if you will listen, if you will read, if you will serve Him. Symbolically speaking within that sun is the tabernacle and it is the tabernacle for what, where we can kinda simplify this down where it just really flows like honey.

You will find the answer in verse 7.

Ps 19:7
The law (that's what we are talking about) of the LORD is perfect, converting (that is to say restoring) the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.(KJV)

I mean making wise in what way? Understanding time. Listen to me very carefully, between this verse 4 and 7 in a metaphorical language, in the metaphorical language of scripture the sun is the emblematic, it's the emblem, emblematic of the law of God. That's why we can use the sun as a calendar and it is never wrong.

That's why our Passover always falls on the same day, because we go by the solar, the sun, for it is accurate. That's why all prophecies concerning the children of God are given in days, not moons, not months. All prophecies given concerning satan and his are in darkness, that is to say with the light withdrawn, and you have the moons, the prophecy. How long was satan, the antichrist to reign? 42 months. How long were the witnesses to have? 1260 days, solar, days.

So, read the signs but know and understand metaphorically speaking that our Father has many messages. Those heavens open up. Do you know something, verse 7 that we just read through verse 9, six times is the Word of God titled, meaning coming from the heavens. Many might say, "well, are we to worship the heavens?" No. Where is your Father? He is in heaven. Where would you hear from Him? >From the heavens of course.

So, don't underestimate His ability of communication in signs to know and to understand that metaphorically when a prophecy, when I translate it to you, the word "uttered" means uttered prophecies of the end times. But, it gives you an understanding if you listen. Metaphorically speaking, any prophecies that say "it is a day of darkness", it means that God has withdrawn Himself from that wickedness.

That's all. The sun didn't go down. Nothing miraculous happened that any Christian can know because the sun will just disappear. That is not what it is talking about. It means the presence of God, His Glory, and did you catch when you were in Psalms that earlier Psalm, it brings cheer? It brings joy. His joy is removed from those that can't read the signs of heaven, the stars, the moon, the sun to absorb the truth concerning the end-times. And again, I will reiterate, from verse 7 that we just read through verse 9, the title of God's Word is mentioned 6 times.

Now some of you may have a little trouble but in the 9th verse the word "true" should be translated "truth". That is one of the titles of Almighty God's Word. We will pick it back up again with verse 8. Do you understand that God has set a pavilion, that's a place of learning, for you to learn, in the very sun itself and it was set there for God's Law. That means God's Way.

Everything on time and everything in perfection.

Another title.

Ps 19:8
The statutes of the LORD are right, (You don't have to wonder about it) rejoicing the heart: the commandment (another title) of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.(KJV)

I don't know, they give you sight, they give you spiritual understanding how to read signs of the end-times.

Ps 19:9
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: (and it is) the judgments (another title) of the LORD are true (that is to say they are THE truth) and righteous altogether.(KJV)

And so it is. Six times He mentions His own Word, lodging within that pavilion of the sun and the heavens to speak to you, to let you know the method of communication. Often times He utilizes as well as the earth and the events that transpire there as well among the nations as long as the time of the Gentiles are, until they are completed.

Ps 19:10
More to be desired are they than gold, (I mean it is the most precious thing in the world, the truth, enlightenment, to be able to understand the signs of the heavens because that was the first verse here in this chapter, the heavens want to talk to you, they rain down the truth,) yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.(KJV)The very dropping down of truth.

Ps 19:11
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: (You got it? Don't ever forget it. You are warned about the time. You are warned about the season. You are warned by the Word of God, by whatever title you wish to call it.) and in keeping of them there is great reward.(KJV)

What does that mean? He is going to reward you. Everything you do will be blessed. I am talking about in serving Him okay. That's what true blessings are. You will be blessed in every effort you make that has His approval and is assisting Him.

Ps 19:12
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.(KJV)

He will always do that and we…."well brother that doesn't apply to me, I don't have any". Oh? Oh? You are something special ain't ya. Well, we will let you take that up with the Father.

Ps 19:13
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; (I would rather translate that "arrogant men". Keep me away from arrogant men. ) let them not have dominion over me: (it ain't going to happen in the first place okay. Let some arrogant guy come along and try to have something over me and see where it ends him okay) then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.(KJV)

What is the great transgression? The apostasy. The deception of the end times. The great falling away of people being deceived by antichrist. Keep you from it. The truth will do that. It will not let you be made a fool of. Where does all this come from? The heavens. Whose there? Your Father and He communicates in many ways. Can you read Him?

Ps 19:14
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, (He says you are my rock, my solid rock) and my redeemer.(KJV)

There you have it. One of the greatest Psalms in God's Word and how He speaks and how He made a provision for His law right there with the sun that is always precious and perfect time in giving life which is symbolic of He, our Father. Understand, it is not our Father, but as our Father it gives life, it gives warmth, it warms your heart. It gives you knowledge and wisdom. And then does He utilize the stars, the moon, and the sun to guide? Of course He does. That's why we use the metaphor, so that you can read and know and be warned and understand. You know you might say, "well most…."Well, let's go on and catch another prophecy okay and see how much this helps us in understanding the prophecy.

If you would go to the great book of Joel in the Minor prophets. We would have the great book of Daniel, then we would have Hosea, and then we would have that little snugged in there book, Joel. Joel is the chapter that tells you my sons and my daughters shall prophesy. My sons and my daughters shall see dreams and visions. My sons and my daughters will do My work. Let's take it if we may, Chapter 2, let's pick it up with verse 2 and see if you can read this a little better. This is the coming of the false army, and you know the beauty, God controls it also, the army of the locust. That is to say satan's little ole army. God only allows it.

Joel 2:1
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;(KJV)And so it is.

Joel 2:2
A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.(KJV)

God allows satan to put forth an army when he appears here on earth. Why? To test you out. You have power over them. You don't have to worry. God is your shield. But, people that are unlearned will be sucked in by this, but the day of darkness, again what did that mean? Let's skip on to verse 10.

Joel 2:10
The earth (you understand the verses between apply to that bad army coming against us)The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:(KJV)

In other words, God is going to withdraw from the people with no understanding. They are going to find out what dark can really be because they are going to be listening to the apostasy and the apostate. Deceived. World that will have an end. That is to say satan's time. So, there you have the understanding of the metaphor of the sun turning dark. It doesn't mean it quits. It means God withdraws from those people.

Not you!

Because He has promised you what? What has He promised you in the New Testament? Hebrews chapter 13, I will never leave thee nor will I forsake thee, and He promised you that again, "I will never withhold anything from you", in that 84th Psalm.

So, you want to listen to your Father and communicate, but it is going to be kinda sad for those that don't believe. And hey, do you know what is really sad about this? There are many people that consider themselves to be good churchgoers. They are really pew potatoes. They sit there on those pews and haven't studied the Word to communicate with our Father, and the apostasy might grab them in. Might, we don't judge.

But let's continue on:

Joel 2:11
And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?(KJV)

I can answer that for you. You can. Why? Because He is communicating with you. Don't fear. "I am not going to hold anything from you". That's your peace, your power, your authority, to do God's work. But boy those that are unlearned, those that you have tried to lead and wouldn't listen. Pray for them. They are going to need it. It is going to be a strong leading in an opposite direction and many will believe. But you listen to your Father.

Joel 2:12
Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:(KJV)

It is not going to be happy to see our relatives and friends misled my friends.

Joel 2:13
And rend your heart, (that's your mind) and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.(KJV)

He won't let the evil come on you if you will repent and be with Him. Study His Word. Be in His truth.

Joel 2:14
Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?(KJV)

He will. He promises it. You can count on it.What are you supposed to do? I don't know. Do you believe the Word? What does it say?

Joel 2:15
Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:(KJV)

That means a day of restraint. I mean you teach God's Word, truth as you see truth, and don't you let anyone fall in the way of that. God has certainly blessed us that our ole trumpet is several feet across and it goes around the world, and we blow it, we sound it, and He brings forth the blessings, and I love Him for that.

What does it? His Word. His hand. He withholds nothing, that we are blessed because He is blessed, because children are saved. Hearts are redeemed. The Word, as we read in that 19th Psalm, converts, that is to say it brings them back into the fold. They are that sheep that went astray and you touch them with His Word where they came home to their Father, and He loves them.

Joel 2:16
Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.(KJV)

Joel 2:17
Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?(KJV)

"Well, we got to put a stop to this people, you people using God's name". That's what the heathen say today. "We have got to remove Christ's word. We gotta remove all God's law". You know, if they only knew that God built a pavilion around the sun and put His law there, the 10 commandments, how would they like to try and remove that? Metaphorically speaking of course, but I say that and utilize it to show how phony they are.

How little, like little bitty ants running around trying to change God. It ain't going to happen. Our Father is in control. We have the victory. We give not one quarter. We give on no quarter. We take ground, we do not give it up. There will be a fight in this year like never before singling out those few that would go against Almighty God, because God Himself will bring them out and deliver them, and so it is.

So, when we, you know usually when there was an elders meeting only the elders showed up and when there was a wedding only this person, and that, here bring all, even the suckling babies, that is how important this meeting and gathering is preparing for the end.

Joel 2:18
Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.(KJV)

He will love them, remembering.

Joel 2:19
Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:(KJV)

He is talking to His election here.

Joel 2:20
But I (you want to know who removes this army? We won't. Listen to it) will remove far off from you the northern army, (that's the locust, Revelation chapter 9) and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.(KJV)

Thought he was, but it is going to come to an end. You serve He that is eternal.Skip on down if you would to verse 25, this verse of restoration:

Joel 2:25
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.(KJV)

He allowed it. Do you understand how good our Father is? He is letting you know that He even controls the enemy that is coming against us, meaning He allows.

Joel 2:26
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never (that is to say, never) be ashamed.(KJV)

You know, that is a good camp to be in beloved. Have you ever really be shamed? It doesn't feel good, okay. When you serve Him you never have to be worried about being ashamed because you are in the right camp.

Joel 2:27
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD(not satan. I am the Lord) your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.(KJV)

And here we go, this is where you come in.

Joel 2:28
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:(KJV)

Joel 2:29
And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.(KJV)

That's when Mark 13 comes to pass that they are delivered and the Holy Spirit speaks through the mouths of the people of God.

Joel 2:30
And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.(KJV)

That's divine judgment. You don't have to worry about it.

Joel 2:31
The sun shall be turned into darkness, (for them it will be, and you understand what that means) and the moon into blood, (in other words the moon will have nothing to reflect when God removes the prophecies of satan will go into the pit, the 42 months) before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.(KJV)

Joel 2:32
And it shall come to pass, (not maybe. It shall come to pass) that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.(KJV)

I don't know has He talked to you? Has He touched you? Has He shown you the signs? Do you feel the pressure that is brought upon the nations even at this time? While we are here turn over to Amos Chapter 8.Metaphorically reading the signs. Amos Chapter 8

8:7
The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.(KJV)

He won't okay. Do you know why He won't forget any of your works? It is in the book by your name.

Amos 8:8
Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.(KJV)

We have kinda seen that and it was this year, the past year beloved. It was not a pretty sight. But it happened and it was written and so it is. Pray for the people of this world that they find deliverance. How many did He say He would save? Anybody that would call on His name. That is why we sound the trumpet, so that they have the knowledge and the wisdom to do exactly that.

Amos 8:9
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, (I am going to pull myself away. The tabernacle or pavilion of God's law is closed. That is to say as far as the wicked are concerned) and I will darken the earth in the clear day:(KJV)

That's when, that's why they try to get rid of the Word of God beloved. Even God in the Pledge of Allegiance. It's satan's own manipulation, to withdraw God.

Let me ask you a question, how many of you remember what happened in Russia when they withdrew God? Back in the 40's. and 50's. Were they a blooming success with God's blessings.

No, it came to a miserable end, a failure. Speaking of a land without God, they had to have help from a nation that In God We Trust.

So, it is dark, but in your eyes the Light of the World, our Father, and that pavilion that is His law, symbolic of His law, His Word, that you can always trust. It never changes. That's why He picked the sun. It is utilized, I could go on and on and on and on.

Do you know how you are told if you don't have a compass how to find your way? It is really tough. In the morning when you wake up, you stick your little ole head out and wipe your eyes and look. Which way does the sun come up from?

It is over in the East. Well, if you face the East and put your arm out at 90 degrees like this from the sun what direction are you looking at? The South okay. Then if you go South and then go over here when the sun sets that is West.

The northern army comes from where? Go back to East and raise your left hand. Right is south. That's Right. But left is satan's way, that is to the North.

And so it is. The sun gives us, it is so good to us. It never changes. It lets us know when it passes over that equator, that you need to get your long handles out, it is going to get cold and so forth. It just tells…it really unloads on us just facts of life but also from our Father.

They are trying to darken the world. They are trying to turn the lights out beloved. Prophecy is coming to pass even as we sit and as we think. It may be a lot later than you might think. So, the current events for this year and especially this past year are earthshaking.

They are fantastic and we need to know more than ever how to read those signs. So, our Father says that when that happens …. Behold….goes down at noon..

Amos 8:10
And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.(KJV)

There is no joy without God beloved. Listen to me carefully, verse 11, this documents what we have been saying:

Amos 8:11
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:(KJV)

That's why it goes dark, because it will be very difficult at that time of the apostasy to hear the Word of the Lord. They will be starving for truth. People even today as that sign approaches are starving, absolutely starving for truth.

Yes Father set a pavilion there metaphorically so that we could know and understand that he set that memorial and that memorial is the Word from the heavens, is metaphorically speaking when God either is with you or you have left Him. He will never leave you, but a lot of people leave Him and they never realize they really have. Why? They see what they think is a brighter light in a different direction which is the false Messiah. It is going to be a dark day. Gonna be a lot of hurt souls.

To conclude:Go with me to the last book of this Old Testament, Malachi. Malachi chapter 4 and we are going to pick it up with verse 1 to complete. Last book of the Old Testament.

Mal 4:1
For, behold, the day cometh, (not maybe, not perhaps, the day cometh) that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: (and what did it say about those that have a good heart? It doesn't apply to you. So, don't get your hackles up and don't worry, God loves you) and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

That's when the tares hit the lake friend. They are going swimming. They are going swimming in the Lake of Fire. The tares and all that have joined themselves with them on the Great Lord's Day, at the end of it, at Judgment Day.Listen carefully:

Mal 4:2
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun (S.U.N. shall the sun) of righteousness (this is why the metaphor pertains to the Annointed One, Christ, do you understand? To Christ. Sun of righteousness) arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

Man romp, play, tromp. I would rather watch little ole calves in their happiness than you can just name. Little ole nursery set up and here they go. Happiness. Not a troubled world. The sun brings that metaphorically speaking. That is why you want to read the signs from the stars, the sun, and the moon.

Mal 4:3
And ye shall tread down the wicked;(whose going to do that? Ye shall tread down the wicked) for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

Mal 4:4
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

Mal 4:5
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

Mal 4:6
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.(KJV)

And so that spirit of Elijah dwells in the whole family that reaches out to reach the children to turn their hearts to the true Father, not the fake, but the true Father whereby they are saved from that firmament of death, that firmament of destruction that they find in that Lake of Fire.

Now, what is the sun to us metaphorically? It is our shield. Metaphorically as our Father gives us life so does it. Does our Father utilize the sun?

Well, He heated the waters in Gulf up pretty good, good enough to swim in, but to do a lot of other things too. Did He do that purposely? Things happen.

We are in that time. What do the heavens do for you? They speak in every language. That's nature. Read the signs and be awake especially in this generation.
