Oct 31, 2011 Does Apocalypse Start When Population Reaches 7 Billion?
In June 9, 2011 I was shown a total of three license plates with the number 766, and in the following days I was shown two more. At the time I interpreted as coming from Jesus that the Apocalypse and the number 7 were linked. It was June so I thought that it meant the month of July, but it was not so. Then I thought it meant the month of Tishri, but it came and went and no Apocalypse. Yesterday as I was driving back to home the last car I saw had the 766 license plate and to tell you from my heart I thought that the message was not fulfilled yet but was to be fulfilled as shown.
So what is the seven and to what does it relate, well today as I opened the computer in MSN the headlines read a very important message shown below that the population had just reached 7 billion. In the article they state that the exact baby to reash the number is not known and only God knows when this number is reached.
Can the start of the Apocalypse be linked to the 7 B (seven billion) humans milestone? Only God knows, but I want to believe that Jesus did tell me that the Apocalypse and the seven were linked together as most of the thinks pertaining to him are in sevens. If this is the interpretation then we are very close to the start.
It is well to observe that today is a Satanic festival day Halloween! and that the Apocalypse is the time allotted to Satan to have full control of the world through the Antichrist. Lk 21:24 …until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled.

Countries around the world marked the world’s population reaching 7 billion Monday with lavish ceremonies for newborn infants symbolizing the milestone and warnings that there may be too many humans for the planet’s resources.
While demographers are unsure exactly when the world’s population will reach the 7 billion mark, the U.N. is using Monday to symbolically mark the day.
A string of festivities are being held worldwide, with a series of symbolic 7-billionth babies being born.
The celebrations began in the Philippines
, where baby Danica May Camacho was greeted with cheers and an explosion of photographers’ flashbulbs at Manila’s Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital.
The Guardian newspaper reported that Danica, whose name means morning star, had been chosen by the U.N. to be one of a number of symbolic 7 billionth babies. It is not known who the actual baby is.
Danica arrived two minutes before midnight Sunday, but doctors decided that was close enough to count for a Monday birthday.
‘She looks so lovely’
The baby received a shower of gifts, from a chocolate cake marked “7B Philippines” to a gift certificate for shoes.
“She looks so lovely,” the mother, Camille Galura, whispered as she cradled the 5.5-pound baby, who was born about a month premature.
Story: Seven big problems for 7 billion people The baby was the second for Galura and her partner, Florante Camacho, a struggling driver who supports the family on a tiny salary.
Dr. Eric Tayag, of the Philippines’ Department of Health, said later that the birth came with a warning.

PhotoBlog: World population set to exceed seven billion“Seven billion is a number we should think about deeply,” he said.
“We should really focus on the question of whether there will be food, clean water, shelter, education and a decent life for every child,” he said. “If the answer is ‘no,’ it would be better for people to look at easing this population explosion.”
Chart: 7 billion people (on this page)The Guardian reported that children chosen to mark the world’s population reaching six billion and five billion — Adnan Nevic, 12, of Bosnia Herzogovina, and Matej Gaspar, from Croatia, respectively — felt they had been forgotten.
“We saw Kofi Annan as almost like a godfather to him,” Adnan’s father, Jasminko, told the Guardian. Adnan said: “He held me up when I was two days old but since then we have heard nothing from them.”
Population growth rate slows
According to the United Nations Population Fund, the seven-billionth child is most likely to be a boy born in India or China, but the trend of fertility in the longer term is in a different direction, Dudley Poston, a professor of sociology and demographics at Texas A&M University, told Reuters.
For the first time ever, the human reproduction rate is slowing, in many places slowing significantly, and the slowing growth is not only happening in Europe and Japan, he said.
“Once your fertility rates drops below two, it is very very hard to get it to go back up again,” Poston told Reuters.
“We now have 75 countries in the world where the fertility rate is below two,” meaning the average woman is having fewer than two children.
Video: India’s growing population (on this page)That is far below the rate of 2.2 to 2.3 considered optimal to hold the population steady, factoring in the number of females who have no children or who don’t live to reach childbearing age.
While he said Europe and the industrialized democracies of east Asia are the poster children for demographic shift, low birth rates are also being seen in Brazil, in China, and in the Islamic Middle East, where the fertility rate in the United Arab Emirates is 1.8.
“Japan is losing more people today than they’re gaining,” Poston said. “South Korea has an alarmingly low fertility rate, 1.1.”
Not long ago, the opposite was true. In 1970, the average fertility rate worldwide was 4.5, leading to predictions of demographic doom in books like Robert Silverberg’s “The World Inside” and Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich’s “The Population Bomb.”
Wars, unrest once feared
They saw a world where hoards of wildly reproducing humans desperate for dwindling food supplies would destroy social cohesion and spark wars and societal unrest.
But a funny thing happened on the way to population Armageddon.
Poston said the fastest growth period in the history of the world was in the mid to late 1960s, which prompted a gloomy outlook for the future.
“When Paul Ehrlich wrote that book the world was growing at about 2 percent per year,” Poston said. “Now we’re growing at about half that.”
But Poston said a combination of factors led to what may be the most significant demographic shift ever.
In the industrialized West, improved methods of birth control and greater opportunities for women in the workplace and in society meant the end of 5,000 years of women generally being considered society’s baby-makers.
In China, there has been aggressive enforcement of a “one-child” policy, drastically reducing population growth rates.
Worldwide, urbanization has reduced the need for large families beneficial in rural agricultural areas.
Reasons for significant growth rate declines in places like Iran, where the rate has fallen from 7.0 in 1974 to 1.9, remain more of a mystery, but Poston said they probably could be traced to cultural changes that can be very difficult to reverse.
“We have been growing very, very fast in the world and now we’re starting to slow down,” he said.
March of science
Poston said it took until about 1800 for the earth to see its one billionth resident, as high fertility rates were effectively countered by high infant mortality rates, diseases, and nearly continuous warfare that generally cut down men at the height of their most active reproductive years.
The march of science led to a decrease in infant mortality and deadly diseases, and combined with a continued high fertility rate led to a huge population bloom. The two billionth human was born in 1930, and the six billionth in 1999.
Moreover, the warfare and constant societal violence that helped keep the population in check has retreated, Harvard University psychologist Steven Pinker said in his recent book “The Better Angels of our Nature.”
“It is really only in the countries of sub Saharan Africa where fertility is still high…,” Poston said, “but even in several of these countries there have been fertility declines in recent years.”
So Poston said while it took 12 years to reach Monday’s seven billion mark from six billion, it will take 14 years to reach eight billion — the first time in history a billion milestone has taken longer to reach than the one before — and then 18 years to reach nine billion.
Thus far the world has been able to produce enough food to feed its new mouths.
The U.N. says world food production per person today is 41 percent higher than in 1961, thanks largely to the “Green Revolution” in farming which brought higher yields not only to Western farmers, but brought traditional subsistence farming in Africa and Asia into the modern age.
Food production per capita in India today is 37 percent higher than fifty years ago, according to the World Bank.
Some still fear food shortages and price rises, and problems with supplies of other commodities like oil.
“(Whether) the rate of farm production slow down or level off is uncertain,” Poston said. “But right now there is no difficulty.”
And the trends may bring problems of a different sort, he said, predicting the world will begin seeing the impact of declining populations in as little as 40 years.
“That is going to be the issue in the future,” Poston said. “We are going to have to start thinking for the first time in human history about fewer.”
That will mean thinking in an entirely new way about everything from resource production to old age pensions, he said.

Oct 28, 2011 Results of Elections in Tunisia abode ill for the future of the area
The outcome of the Arab Spring uprisings has been evident from the beginning to those who are students of the Bible Prophecies and who understand the perniciousness and evil of ISLAM.
It would be impossible for any democratic flourishing in any of the countries where the majority of the population are practicing Islamist.
Islam is anathema to any manifestations of individual freedoms or democratic values and persons in those countries that believe that they can change the outcome to favor democracy are in for a rude and violent awakening.
Frida Ghitis writes today in the Miami Herald about the elections in Tunisia the first of the Arab countries to experience a revolution. Her article is very good as usual for a reporter with a good understanding of the forces at play in this turbulent region in the grasp of Islam.
For those of you who have studied the prophecies in the Bible concerning the events at the time of the end of the era of Grace it is the beginning movements in preparation for the book of Revelation, the prophecies of Ezekiel 38-39, Psalm 83, Isaiah 17, Ezekiel 29 and many others.
The events will coalesce at a rapid pace to make all these countries Islamic and opposed to Israel to fulfill what is written.
All these nations in time past as well as in the present have been a thorn in the flesh to Israel and the time for the Lord’s vengeance is rapidly approaching.

Outcome in Tunisia worries women, progressives
BY FRIDA GHITIS
fjghitis@gmail.com
To get a better idea of what the future holds in the Middle East, keep a close eye on Tunisia. The country whose people lit the spark of the ongoing Arab uprisings continues to lead the way. It has just held its first elections, the first in the region.
As everyone expected, the Islamic party Ennahda won the largest number of votes.
Ennahda, the renaissance, is modeled on Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood. It aims to give Islam a greater role in the country, but it has gone to great lengths to reassure everyone that it is a moderate Islamic, not Islamist, party that will preserve individual freedoms.
But not everyone believes them.
Tunisia was by far the most liberal country in the Middle East under the dictatorship of President Zine el Abidine Ben Ali, the first dictator toppled in the Arab Spring, who fled the country earlier this year after ruling for 23 years.
Women had more equality in the North African country of 10 million than anywhere else in the Arab world. After Ben Ali left, a caretaker government took over and organized a transparent election. About 100 parties participated and turnout was exhilaratingly strong.
As in the rest of the Middle East, the Islamic movement is the best organized force in the country. Ben Ali imprisoned its leaders and banned the group, but Islam remained a strong force and the party went underground and remained active. The first lesson from Tunisia, hardly a surprise, is that Islamic parties will probably win every first election in the Middle East.
When Ben Ali fled and the party’s leader Rached Ghannouchi returned home triumphantly after more than 20 years in exile, Ennahda already had a well-built organization and the automatic support of devout Muslims throughout Tunisia. Liberals had probably more support than they do anywhere else in the region, but they had a lot of ground to make up. They worked hard, but it was not enough.
For liberals everywhere, the results of the Tunisian election have to count as a disappointment, even if Ennahda proves true to its word.
Nowhere in the Arab world are progressive forces stronger. If they could not put on a good performance there, there is little hope they can do it anywhere else; at least in the first round of elections, before anyone has a chance to govern and face voters on their record.
Secular groups with strong participation from women campaigned arduously and had high hopes of putting on a strong performance. They did not expect to win, but they fared worse than expected. The Islamic party had the benefit of strong financial support from abroad — which was eventually banned by election officials. And the Muslim party, despite its protestations to the contrary, also had the benefit of being viewed by many Tunisians as the “party of God.”
Whatever the reasons, liberals were shocked by the results. Reporters on the ground quoted women, in particular, saying they were experiencing a “general desolation and frustration.” A university student called it, “a day of mourning not only for women but for all democrats.”
Ennahda leaders are repeating their mantra: “We respect the rights of women,” said Nourredine Bhiri, noting the party’s support for “equality between Tunisians whatever their religion, their gender, or their social status.”
The victory, about 40 percent of the vote, means the Islamic party will need to form a coalition. It will put together an interim government that will write the country’s new constitution. The stakes are enormous.
The word among many democrats is that the Islamic party is saying the right words, especially to foreigners, but planning a much less pluralistic, form of government.
The current Prime Minister, Beji Caid Sebsi, reflected the widespread misgivings when he said “I can’t judge (Ennahda’s) intentions.” But he added, “I can only judge by what’s public, and so far it’s positive.”
If Tunisia is the first project of the democratic Arab world, its tiny Jewish community is the canary in its coalmine. After 3,000 years in Tunisia, the number of Jews has fallen precipitously from about 100,000 to about 1,500. It is one of the last Jewish communities in the Arab world, where millions of Jews once lived. The head of the community, 85-year-old Roger Bismuth, told a reporter, “I love to live here and will never leave my community, my country.” But he confessed he was nervous about the agenda of Islamic parties, saying “it may not be so good for us.”
Every country is different, but there is much we will learn from what happens in Tunisia. If Islamic forces go back on their word and fail to enshrine women’s rights, rule of law, and individual freedoms, we will know democratic freedom will not emerge from the Arab Spring.

Oct 23 2011 More earthquakes in Van Turkey
Early this morning I came to my computer and opened the USGS earthquake site, to my surprise the 7.3 at the time earthquake in eastern Turkey had just happened.
This region is one that is subjected to a lot of earthquakes historically, but one has to wonder if this earthquake is used by God as one of the signs of the approaching Apocalypse and it so come to happen in a country that until recently was a friend of Israel and now it has turned its back and become a bitter enemy with the new prime minister Mr. Erdogan.
The earth has not stopped shaking since this morning in Van Turkey. Woe unto those nations that find themselves opposing the Jewish people and God’s Kingdom plan for they shall see great Tribulation.

“Two buildings collapsed in Van, but the telephone system is jammed due to panic and we can’t assess the entire damage immediately,” Bekir Kaya, the mayor of Van, told NTV television.
“There are so many dead. Several buildings have collapsed, there is too much destruction,” said Zulfikar Arapoglu, the mayor for the town of Ercis told NTV television.
“We need urgent aid, we need medics,” he added.
The state-run Anatolia news agency said rescue workers were trying to reach people believed to be trapped under the wreckage of a seven-story building in Van, close to the Iranian border.
The earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.3 struck eastern Turkey at 1:41 p.m. (1041 GMT; 6:41 a.m. EDT), the U.S. Geological Survey said. It said the quake had a depth of 7.2 kilometers (4.5 miles), which is shallow and could potentially cause more damage.
Turkey’s Kandilli observatory gave it a preliminary magnitude of 6.6 but put its depth at 5 kilometers. Several aftershocks as strong as magnitude 5.5 followed, the observatory said
The quake’s epicenter was in the village of Tabanli in eastern Van province, bordering Iran.
The quake was strongly felt in neighboring provinces, NTV television said.
Earthquakes are frequent in Turkey, which is crossed by faultlines.
In 1999, about 18,000 people were killed by two powerful earthquakes that struck northwestern Turkey.

Oct 21, 2011 Is the Apocalypse the end of the world? No!
Today is the day That Mr. Harold Camping predicted was the Apocalypse or the end of the world. The press has had a field day with his prediction of a certain date which he did for May 21 and then corrected after the fact for Oct 21 of this year.
MSN portal in the internet has an article about him which is included here for you to read.
There is a wide conception in the world and in many of the Christians denominations concerning the end times. Everyone seems to have an opinion with many also denying the concept. A lot has been written about this subject from many different points of view and religions and the serious student of Bible Prophecy should know many of them to help straighten the Christian churches who follow the end of the age as described in the Bible.
The Christian who interprets the Bible literally as this writer does believes that the end of the age is marked in specific ways in the prophecies of the Bible. What is not found there is a date like in the twenty first day of the month of October of 2011 you shall se the beginning of the Apocalypse.
It was not given like that by God to the people that wrote the Bible.
The times and seasons like gold nuggets in a river must be panned laboriously and with hard work to obtain.
If you are one who seeks the gold but is unwilling to work for it do not mock those who do when they find a small nugget that appears to be gold even if it isn’t.
That said Mr. Camping is a digger and he has alerted the full gamut of people that have no concept of what is coming and as such he must be praised as a watcher in the wall whose duty is to alert when the city is in danger from outside enemies.
The Apocalypse as described in the Bible is a period of time that will last 2,520 days and ends with the physical return to earth of Jesus Christ and all the Resurrected saints (all believers) to start a Kingdom of righteousness that will last a thousand years. There is no substitute for the reading of the book of Revelation and I urge the reader to do so now!
The Bible also mentions an event that is also the popular mocking of unbelievers and even many believers also called by the name of the Rapture which thanks to Mr. Camping has also been popularized extensively. What it means and why it is linked to the Apocalypse is also a very basic Christian believe that we mortals after we have die will have a day appointed in the future where our dead bodies will come to life again in immortal non corruptible bodies to live eternally. What many Christians do not know is that all humans are going to be given a resurrected body and will dwell eternally in the presence of God or with Satan and all its fallen angels in the Lake of Fire (Hell). There are going to be more than one time for resurrection. The term Rapture only applies to one of these at some time before the Apocalypse starts and it will be for the dead in Christ as well as for the people that are alive at that moment that are true believers. They will be resurrected and meet Jesus in the clouds (see 1Co:15 and 1Th:4).
Now after this abstract in eschatology go and do your homework and prepare for the very soon coming of Jesus Christ.

Preacher’s doomsday forecast fizzles out … again
End-of-world prophecy goes nowhere, five months after previous failure
Below:
- Font:
ALAMEDA, Calif. — Once again, the world failed to end, despite a high-profile prediction from a radio preacher in California.
Harold Camping, the 90-year-old leader of Family Radio International, stirred a global frenzy when he predicted that the Rapture would take 200 million Christians to heaven on May 21. When the Rapture didn’t occur, Camping said he got his Bible-based calculations wrong and revised his prophecy to set the world’s end on Friday, Oct. 21.
But as Friday morphed into Saturday around the world, there was no sign that doomsday had come. A typical Twitter refrain: “Dear Harold Camping, Worst. Apocalypse. Ever.”
Millions of dollars had been spent by Family Radio and its followers to get the world out about May’s date with doomsday. Some quit their jobs, or donated retirement savings or college funds for the more than 5,000 billboards and 20 RVs that were plastered with Judgment Day messages.
This time around, Camping took a lower profile — perhaps because he was chastened by the mockery he suffered in May, or perhaps because of his health.
Camping suffered a mild stroke in June. His daily radio program, “Open Forum,” is no longer aired on the Family Radio syndication network, which includes more than 60 U.S. radio stations.
Contacted by telephone on Thursday, Family spokesman Tom Evans declined to comment on Camping or his prophecies — except to say that he had “retired” as a radio host but remained chairman of the board of Family Stations Inc.
‘Nothing to report’
Camping himself had little to say when he answered the door of his home in Alameda, wearing a bathrobe and leaning on a walker. “We’re not having a conversation,” he told a Reuters reporter, shaking his head with a chuckle. “There’s nothing to report here.”

Municipal records show that a Sunday prayer group led by Camping, the Alameda Bible Fellowship, has continued to meet on a weekly basis in a large ground-floor room of the Veterans Memorial Building leased by the city Recreation and Parks Department.
Marcia Tsang, a facilities coordinator for the department, said receipts show that Camping’s group has been renting that space since at least 1996, paying the standard fee of $45 an hour. The room remains assigned to his fellowship under an evergreen reservation that extends beyond this week, she said.
Local American Legion officer Ron Parshall, 70, part of a veterans group that meets at the same building in an adjacent room one Sunday a month, said he has seen Camping leading his Bible services there regularly.
He said Camping’s congregation has dwindled since the failed prophecy in May — down to about 25 attendees on a typical Sunday, plus about 20 youngsters who attend Sunday school classes in conjunction with the prayer group.
Parshall said he thought Camping was “a nice man.”
“He was just too radical for me,” he said. “Anyone who claims to be that close to God, I take it with a grain of salt.”
Calculating the endtime
Most Christian interpreters of the Bible — even those who believe the end is truly near — say the precise date for Judgment Day cannot be predicted. They generally point to a passage in the Book of Matthew in which Jesus says “no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen.”
Camping, however, based his prophecies on an idiosyncratic calculation of the number of years since the Noah’s Ark flood and the number of days since Jesus’ crucifixion, plus a healthy dose of numerology. If it weren’t for the multimillion-dollar publicity campaign, his prediction might have attracted little notice in May.
In a message on the Family Radio website, Camping tried to explain his revised math. He said that God’s judgment and salvation were actually completed on May 21, but that a reinterpretation of the dates in the Bible pointed to an Oct. 21 doomsday.
“Thus we can be sure that the whole world, with the exception of those who are presently saved (the elect), are under the judgment of God, and will be annihilated together with the whole physical world on Oct. 21,” he said on the website.
Camping said he didn’t think doomsday would be marked by natural disasters or blasts of hellfire. “I really am beginning to think as I’ve restudied these matters that there’s going to be no big display of any kind,” he said. “The end is going to come very, very quietly.”
Camping, a retired civil engineer, also prophesied that the Apocalypse would come in 1994, but he said later that didn’t happen because of a mathematical error.

Oct 20, 2011 Should Christians believe in UFO and if so in what manner or form?
Today I want to refer the readers to a subject that is of the utmost importance to the Christian community and it is the subject of the coming Great Deception.
The subject of this video interview is one that is very much in the news almost every day and one that the majority of Christians have no knowledge of and it is the Nephilin.
Very important to watch.

Oct 31, 2011 Full Moon on the Pleiades marked feast of Tabernacles(Sukkot) in the time of Noah it happens this year on 11/11/11
On Oct 29 I posted comments on an article by Ron Reese where he is expecting the sudden destruction to be on 11/11/11.
Today in my e-mail I received this letter from Mr. Michael Welman. It is very important and must be read carefully as well as the links to understand the importance of his discovery concerning Bible prophetic times.
If the millennium Kingdom of Jesus is to start on the feast of Tabernacles of the year 2018 the Apocalypse must start in the same feast seven years before or in the feast of Tabernacles of 2011 which from the article by Mr. Wellman falls on 11/11/11.
Could it be that the world also reaches 7 billion on that date?
The feast of sukkot is on the seventh month of Tishrei as the Wikipidea article states and in accordance to the number seven in my previous article.
__________________________________________________________________________
http://judaism.about.com/od/holidays/a/whatissukkot.htm
Sukkot is an eight-day harvest holiday that arrives during the Hebrew month of Tishrei. It starts four days after Yom Kippur and is followed by Shmini Atzeret and Simchat Torah. Sukkot is also known as the Festival of Booths and the Feast of Tabernacles.
The Origin of Sukkot
Sukkot hearkens back to times in ancient Israel when Jews would build huts near the edges of their fields during the harvest season. One of these dwellings was called a “sukkah” and “sukkot” is the plural form of this Hebrew word. These dwellings not only provided shade but allowed the workers to maximize the amount of time they spent in the fields, harvesting their food more quickly as a result.
Sukkot is also related to the way the Jewish people lived while wandering in the desert for 40 years (Leviticus 23:42-43). As they moved from one place to another they built tents or booths, called sukkot, that gave them temporary shelter in the desert.
Hence, the sukkot (booths) that Jews build during the holiday of Sukkot are reminders both of Israel’s agricultural history and of the Israelite exodus from Egypt.
_______________________________________________________________
So the exact day of the feast of Sukkot as in the times of Noah and Moses is on this year on “11/11/11” as the article below shows.

Disclaimer: this falls in to the category of interesting coincidence,
nothing more. I actually started with the question what does Tishri
have to do with the Scales? Then I found the Jewish Stamp in the
picture with the words “Sign of Scales Month of Tishri” in Hebrew. And
then I had to figure out why the Jews associate the two. Well as I
found out that goes back to Moses and Noah. And now points to the date
11-11-11, if you don’t like it that’s fine like I said it’s just a
trail of observations.
(Genesis) 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of
the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for
signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
The Bible emphasizes the importance of time and keeping track of time.
Therefore, keep this in mind. The astronomical bodies are to serve as:
•Signs
•and for seasons
•and for days
•and for years
The Sign of Scales – is associated with the Month of Tishri
Tishri Mazal: Moznayim (Scales or weighing) The scales symbolizes
“Divine Judgment,” one of the major themes of this month.
(Job) 9:7-10 He speaks to the sun and it does not shine; he seals off
the light of the stars. He alone stretches out the heavens and treads
on the waves of the sea. He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the
Pleiades and the constellations of the south. He performs wonders that
cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.
I am not saying the Hebrew calendar should be interpreted by the
constellations/ Mazzeroth, but history proves it once might have
been…
Due to celestial precession the position of the Spring Equinox has
moved from the Pleiades at the time of Noah’s flood (2500 BC) all the
way through Aries to where it is today in Pisces. Conversely the
Autumnal Equinox has moved from Libra to the top of Virgo.
Why does this matter at all? The Full Moon near Pleiades at the time
of Noah marked the Harvest Festival which in the time of Moses became
the Feast of Ingathering or Tabernacles. In some ancient languages
Pleiades (The Seven Stars) translates to “booths” or Tabernacles.
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of
the Son of man. Luke 17:26
What day does this celestial event happen this year? 11-11-11

His Majesty’s government view with favour the establishment in
