Renee M (12 July 2010) “The end of the final 7 years – the Second Coming of Christ”
This article by Renee is another in the series concerning the Solar and Lunar eclipses that are signs of the Day Of The Lord and His coming.
The basic research for these eclipses was from pastor Mark Biltz and the links are below to a couple of videos.

“The end of the final 7 years – the Second Coming of Christ”
http://jesusiscoming2015.webs.com/areweinthefinal7years.htm
Over the last few days, the posts I have written have clearly shown that Jesus should return to the earth within the next decade because of the 6000 year plan of God, and that Jesus’ return should take place during the Fall Feasts in Israel. There are THREE MAJOR things that the Bible teaches us to watch for that will lead us to know when Jesus is returning to the earth.
- THE SUN AND MOON ARE DARKENED!!!
- THE YEAR OF JUBILEE!!!
- CONFIRMING OF THE COVENANT 2520 DAYS BEFORE THE DAY OF ATONEMENT!!!
Today we will take a look at the first of these 3 signs, tomorrow the second, and the following day, the third:
- THE SUN AND MOON ARE DARKENED!!! Honestly, this first sign is so obvious and easy for us, and yet very few people studying prophecy have even caught it. It’s the BIGGEST clue that Jesus gave us, it’s right in front of our eyes, and yet, most people don’t seem to see it!
Matthew 24:29-30
29“Immediately after the distress of those days ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’ 30“At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.
Mark 13:24-26
24“But in those days, following that distress, ” ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; 25the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’ 26“At that time men will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
Isaiah 13:9-13
9 See, the day of the LORD is coming —a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger — to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it. 10 The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light. 11 I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless. 12 I will make man scarcer than pure gold, more rare than the gold of Ophir. 13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of the LORD Almighty, in the day of his burning anger.
Isaiah 24:23
23 The moon will be abashed, the sun ashamed; for the LORD Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before its elders, gloriously.
If we want to know when Jesus will return to the earth, first we must study the FEASTS and the 6000 year plan of God. Since we have already concluded that Jesus will return to earth during the Fall Feasts, and that we are living in the time period when we should expect His return according to the 6000 year plan of God, the next sign to point us to the exact time of His return is to look for the sun and moon to be darkened on the Jewish Feast days!
There are only TWO times this will happen within the next 25 years. There is a solar and lunar eclipse taking place during the Fall Feasts of Israel in 2015 and 2034!!! There is a solar eclipse on the Feast of Trumpets in 2015 and a lunar eclipse on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles in 2015. In 2034, there is a solar eclipse the day before the Feast of Trumpets and a lunar eclipse on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles. We can rule out the other years as being the end of the final 7 years, because there is NO solar or lunar eclipse taking place near the feast days during any other years! Jesus was very clear, that the one sign to watch for that would point us to His return to the earth is a solar and lunar eclipse, when the sun and the moon are darkened! WOW!
This narrows down our options for when Jesus will return to the earth. Our two options are 2015 and 2034. It is my opinion that 2034 will be past the 6000 years from Creation and that 2015 fits much better into the 6000 year time-frame.
It’s so clear from Scripture that this is the sign of His return and so few people seem to recognize this. Many people say that this could mean any number of things, that the smoke rising from a nuclear war will cause the sun and moon to be darkened, or something else. But I would contend that when the Bible talks about the sun and moon being darkened, it is talking about a solar and lunar eclipse and that when it mentions that the moon will turn to blood, it is not stating that the moon actually turns to blood, rather it is referring to a total lunar eclipse, wherein the moon turns red and looks like blood.
Joel 2:31
The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
Revelation 6:12-13
12I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.
Whenever the Bible refers to the moon turning to blood (see Joel 2:31 and Revelation 6:12), it is talking about a total lunar eclipse, when the moon appears to turn red like blood during the eclipse. The moon is not actually going to turn into blood before Jesus comes. Joel and John are trying to give us a sign to watch for before the coming of Christ – a total lunar eclipse in which the moon turns blood red. It is extremely interesting to note that in 2104 and 2015, 4 total lunar eclipses (blood moons) appear in a row. Normally you will have a total lunar eclipse and then the next lunar eclipse will be partial. Only a total eclipse creates a “blood moon”. To have 4 total lunar eclipses in a row is extremely rare, but what is even more rare is that they all fall on Jewish Feasts (2 on the feast of Passover and 2 on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles). It’s quite significant that the last 2 times this has happened were right around the times when significant events happened in Israel – 1949/50 (Israel was becoming a nation again) and 1967/68 (Israel recaptured Jerusalem) and these are the only 2 other times this has happened in the last 500 years, where all 4 total lunar eclipses were right on Jewish Feast days (all 12 total lunar eclipses take place on Passover or Feast of Tabernacles). “The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.” Joel 2:31. This is a HUGE sign from God pointing us once again to the fall of 2015 as the time of His return.

Excerpt from below:
-Movie “The knowing” led the audience to believe something would happen 81 days after oil spill. That date is JULY 10, 2010
Cindy thinks that this might mean a rapture on July 10th, 2010. But this movie is “man made” and telegraphs things that satan is doing, not God. But what clicked for me was, if it is true that the movie “Knowing” telegraphed something disastrous happening 81 days after the oil rig explosion, that coincides with the warning we received this week about another more devastating illuminati/NWO man made disaster to occur this weekend.
Otherwise this is a very interesting post by Cindy Busch:

“July 11, 2010 eclispe Heralds the gathering of the saints just as last years eclipse herald the day of the Lord– the signs in the heaven ARE unmistakable”
Last year the July 22, 2009 AV 1 eclipse was the ONLY ECLIPSE that could qualify as the one that fulfills this prophecy as discovered by Denis Hart on five doves – it eclipsed at sunrise thus fulling Isaiah 13:10 as the one HERALDING the day of the Lord! -This next eclipse heralds the gathering of the Saints http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/june2010/luisv626.htm
http://www.rapture5770-5775.com/signsintheheavens.htm Below is what I have put together from tidbits of the doves recent writings—I didn’t copy and paste all the names but you guys know who you are and THANK YOU: -In conclusion…The triple AV 1 occurrences and the middle one being the longest Solar Eclipse of the Century along with the planetary crossing Climax plus the Easter Island Monoliths looking into the heavens watching the Eclipse, lead me to believe this will be an extremely strong sign for the imminence of the RAPTURE. Also the night prior to the ECLIPSE (night of july 10), Pieces (church) is riding on the back of PEGASUS (Our Lord), indicating us going home. 11:11 eclipse totality in jerusalem this weekend, Well isn’t that really interesting!
-Movie “The knowing” led the audience to believe something would happen 81 days after oil spill. That date is JULY 10, 2010 Acts 2:19,20 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: -Oil spill judgement= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPtaMgqOwL4 this video shows why the judgment came
-oil is the blood of the earth and will cause the death in waters according to Revelation 20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:
-July 11, 2010 another great total solar eclipse of three that have fallen on Av1 the last three years –this is the last
these three eclipses mirror the eclicpes of when pentecost occured, and the one last year heralded the day of the Lord and was a fullfillment of prophecy Isaiah 13:10 “the rising sun was darkened.” i.e. the eclipse occurred at sunrise another heavenly sign happening after the eclipse July 11, 2010 which hearlds the gathering of the saints Maranatha Cindy
July 8, 2010 Are We There Yet? A Study in Eschatology
Thank you Renee for the very good study of the prophetic time we are in right now.
It was a day of great joy for me when a few years back while reading the genealogies of the book of Genesis I found that with them you could find out the approximate amount of time that had passed since the creation of the world to the present time.
Your study of the age of people and the assigning of an average age of xxx.5 makes sense to coming up with more accurate data.
The table showing the time since creation is very good, thank you.

“6000 and 7000 year plan of God”
http://jesusiscoming2015.webs.com/7000yearplanofgod.htm
http://jesusiscoming2015.webs.com/6000yearplanofgod.htm
Over the coming 2 weeks, I will be writing about where I believe we are on God’s prophetic timetable. I believe the Bible reveals to us the timing of the “latter days” and gives us enough information that, with the leading of the Holy Spirit, we can understand God’s outline that He laid out for us thousands of years ago in the prophecies of the Bible. I will be using His Love Letter to us, the Bible, as my source for everything I am writing.
Today’s teaching will be about the 6000 & 7000 year plan of God. To be certain that we are really living in the final years before Christ’s Second Coming to earth and how extremely close we are to the end of that time, we must understand that the Bible teaches a 6000 year plan of God, from the Creation to the return of Christ to set up His Kingdom on earth for 1000 years. After that final 1000 years, there is one final battle between God’s Kingdom and the forces of darkness and then there will be a new Heaven and a new Earth (Revelation 20-21).
The Bible shows us that God has a 7000-year plan for human development:
a) God sets a pattern in Genesis of 7 days – 6 days for creation and 1 day of rest.
b) The Millennium is referred to many times as the “rest”.
c) A day is like a 1000 years (For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. Psalm 90:4 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 2 Peter 3:8).
d) Another clue is that Hosea 6:1-2 predicts that the restoration of the Jews would occur after 2 “days”, which is poised to occur now after 2000 years from Christ’s first coming. 1 “Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but He will heal us; He has injured us but He will bind up our wounds. 2 After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will restore us, that we may live in His presence.
===> This is a major concept and foundational truth in understanding the eschatology (study of last things) of the Bible, the fall festivals in particular and Bible prophecy in general.
===> From Creation to the end of the millennial (1,000 year) reign of Christ was understood to be 7,000 years long. This was based upon tying the 7 days of creation (Genesis 1:1,5,8,13,19,23,31, 2:1-3) to Psalm 90:4 and II Peter 3:8. We can establish this a Bible fact because both Psalm 90:4 and II Peter 3:8 are our two witnesses of this, which establishes a Biblical truth.
===> This has been a traditional understanding of time in Rabbinic/Orthodox Judaism. This is still the understanding today.
===> The 7,000 year plan of God has been consistent with Jewish thought for thousands of years. The apostle Barnabus was a partner in ministry to the Apostle Paul (Acts 13:2, Acts 14:14). The Epistle of Barnabus written in the 1st Century explicitly tied the 7 days of creation to Psalm 90:4 and the 7,000 year plan of God. From the Epistle of Barnabas chapter 15, verses 1-5:
1 Furthermore it was written concerning the Sabbath in the ten words which He spoke on Mount Sinai face to face to Moses. “Sanctify also the Sabbath of the Lord with pure hands and a pure heart.” 2 And in another place He says, “If my sons keep the Sabbath, then will I bestow My mercy upon them.” 3 He speaks of the Sabbath at the beginning of the Creation, “And God made in six days the works of His hands and on the seventh day He made an end, and rested in it and sanctified it.” 4 Notice, children, what is the meaning of “He made an end in six days”? He means this: that the Lord will make an end of everything in six thousand years, for a day with Him means a thousand years. And He Himself is my witness when He says, “Lo, the day of the Lord shall be as a thousand years.” So then, children, in six days, that is in six thousand years, everything will be completed. 5 “And He rested on the seventh day.” This means, when His Son comes He will destroy the time of the wicked one, and will judge the godless, and will change the sun and the moon and the stars, and then He will truly rest on the seventh day.
I believe that the Bible teaches that Christ will return to the earth for a second time at the end of 6000 years, counting from the Creation. It also teaches that Christ will return at the beginning of the “third day”, or third Millennium, counting from the time of Christ (After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Hosea 6:2).
So, where are we? When does the 6000 years end? When does the 2000 years end? Do we count from the birth of Christ or the death and resurrection of Christ?
Well, the 2000 year count could be from either the birth or death/resurrection of Jesus, so the count could end anytime between 1995-2034 A.D. Jesus should return to earth at some point during this time period. But what about the 6000 year count? When does that end?
I believe that we can count the years from Adam until the present day and be fairly accurate in our conclusions about when the 6000 years end. We must keep in mind that when the Bible says that Adam was 130 years old when Seth was born, or that Lamech was 182 years old when Noah was born, that it doesn’t mean that they turned that age on the day of their sons’ births. In many cultures, including Jewish culture, when someone turns 30, they are considered to be in their 31st year, therefore they consider them to be 31, as opposed to our own culture where we would say they are only 30. The same can be surmised when it says a king reigned 45 years, that it is mostly likely saying his term ended in the 45th year, not that he completed 45 full years. It is crucial that we understand this in order to correctly count the years as laid out in the Bible. If we only count 130 + 150 + 90, etc., we will reach the end of 6000 years somewhere in the 1990’s. Obviously, we are past that time and Jesus has not yet returned to earth, so we must understand how the Jewish culture counts years in order to correctly count the years as laid out to us in the Bible.
Having lived in different cultures and countries for the last 15 years, I completely understand this concept of counting. When I ask a friend how old they are, and they respond, “30”, I then ask them what year they were born in. When they tell me the year, I respond that they are actually only 29 years old, going on their 30th year. But to them, they are already 30. I attended a friend’s birthday party for their one-year old daughter and they were celebrating her FIRST Birthday and saying she was TWO. I told them that she was only turning ONE, but they count that the child is ONE when she is born, therefore, at her FIRST Birthday, she is turning TWO. So, when the Bible says that Adam was 130 years when Seth was born, we must understand that he was in his 130th year, therefore he could have completed between 129 years and one day to 129 years and 364 days. Since we do not know exactly his age, we should count that on average, he had completed 129.5 years of living.
I want to encourage each of you to take just a few minutes of your time and look up these verses and do the arithmetic yourself. The Bible is the only source we need to determine where we are at in the 6000-year plan for the world. Too often we look to other sources, when we all have in our hands the BIBLE – GOD’S WORD!!! We can all take the time (this should take less than an hour of your time and is well worth it!) to add up the years and we can all conclude that we are right now in the time period when the 6000 years end. The Bible very clearly takes us all the way up to the Babylonian invasion, which we know took place in 586 BC. This is the only date we need outside of the Bible to add up the years!
Let’s go through the Old Testament and count the years:

My count led me to 2013 as the end of 6000 years, using only the Bible and 586 BC as the year for the Babylonian invasion of Israel. So, we can see that if we count from Creation, the 6000 years really cannot go much past the year 2015 according to the Biblical chronology and the assumption that 586 B.C. was the correct year of the Babylonian invasion in Jerusalem. I do not believe that it can go until the year 2034 or anywhere close to that date. I believe that the 6000 years end between 2010-2020, according to my own calculations using ONLY the Bible and my understanding of the Jewish way of counting age to count the years from Creation until the present day.
Daniel 9 tells us about a final 7-year period before Christ returns to the earth to “finish transgression, put an end to sin, ATONE for wickedness, bring in everlasting righteousness, seal up vision and prophecy and anoint the most holy.” I emphasize the word ATONE because it is a big clue for us of when Christ will return to earth. In tomorrow’s letter, I would like to explain the 7 Jewish Feasts and how the Bible teaches us that Jesus will return to the earth during the FALL FEASTS, in order to fulfill them, just as He fulfilled the first 4 SPRING FEASTS during His first coming. One of the 3 fall festivals is called the Day of ATONEMENT and is the most holy day of the year for the Jewish people. This is a very important day, because this is the day when Jesus will return to the earth – the Day of Atonement. According to the 6000 year count that I have laid out above using only the Bible as my source, Jesus should return to the earth most probably sometime between 2010-2020 on one of the Days of ATONEMENT during this time period. We are getting VERY CLOSE to Jesus’ return!!!
I believe the Lord has shown us in His Word when He is going to return to earth and I will be showing in my posts over the next several days, the specific signs that point to the exact date of His return. When will the Rapture take place? I don’t know, but I do know when His return to the earth will happen. We are going HOME very soon!!!
Tomorrow’s study…the 7 Jewish FEASTS…and how JESUS is their FULFILLMENT!!!

“The Phoenix and the Movie Knowing“
Dear John,
I watched the movie Knowing last night with Nicolas Cage and it just so happened it was the last one at Barnes and Noble. A person here on 5 Doves saw the movie and happened to mention that Nicolas Cage looked at the clock, it was 11:59 and then he saw a piece of paper with the 3 6’s and then looked at the TV and the Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico was being reported.
I wanted to also mention something that I saw in the movie based on another person here revealing to me about the Egyptian mythical bird the Phoenix. What I read from one of the posts here is that the Phoenix after many centuries will catch on fire to let a new Phoenix arise. I understand that is linked to the USA and how BHO is destroying our country to allow the UN to take over and that it is preparation for the NWO.
What I saw in the movie Knowing and it was very subtle is that Nicolas Cage’s wife had passed away in Phoenix, Arizona in a hotel fire. To me even though this movie was made a year ago before the oil spill, it is symbolic of the USA being destroyed on purpose to allow a NWO.
What was also interesting about the movie is right before the world was going into chaos, it seemed that some people were “raptured” who heard the call. And at the end of the movie after they had been safely removed from Earth, they were wearing all white clothes and running to a tree of life. The men had even transformed themselves who were helping the children into almost an alien looking angel. Of course this was Hollywood and they were trying to morph aliens with angels but we who are born again get the message.

Deborah (6 July 2010) “Ariel Sharon is our Methuselah?”
As you prophecy followers know, Israel is God’s key to unlocking the time when prophecy is to be fulfilled.
In this case two Israeli citizens death are marking for Israel the time of the coming of the Messiah and who He is.
The article explains how. Methuselah was the last of the antediluvian patriarchs that had to die before the flood could start, see the book of Genesis and also in this blog articles about Noah’s arc being discovered in the Suleiman mountains of Iran.

“Powerful hint as to the timing of Jesus’ return!”
Dear friends:
Most of you probably remember the revered rabbi in Israel who died about 4 years ago at the age of 108 who, before he died, said that the Messiah had appeared to him and revealed His name.
The rabbi wrote down the name, but asked that it not be revealed until one year after his death. True to his request, in 2007 the name he wrote was revealed as YEHOSHUA, OR YESHUA, the Hebrew words transliterated from Hebrew to the Greek Iesous, to the English Jesus.
This should have been banner headlines all over the world! But not surprisingly, the astonishing news got scant mention in the media, probably because God’s revelations are only for those to “have ears to hear.” Most people would not want to hear it. Jewish authorities seemed to be in denial that the Messiah’s name is Jesus. He did not fit their expectations 2,000 years ago and apparently He still does not fit them today.
A new 4:48-minute video by Pastor Carl Gallups reveals details of the story that I had missed or forgotten You will find it fascinating. It is at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eATJ4PRXEJk&feature=channelOh, I almost forgot. What is the hint to the timing of Jesus’ return?
The rabbi said that the Messiah revealed to him that He would return soon after the death of Ariel Sharon!
With odd timing, just the other day I remembered that Ariel Sharon has been in a coma and a vegetative state since January 2006, but is still alive, and it occurred to me that this bizarre situation must have some prophetic significance. This must be it! If the rabbi accurately heard from the Lord, Sharon’s death will be a major prophetic time marker.
Based on this, when you hear of Sharon’s death, get ready to meet the Lord, as He will be at the door!

“The Oil Flow”
The Oil flow…..
By Pastor F. M. Riley
July 1, 2010
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God,” Psalm 9:17.
“The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languiseth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth; and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left,” Isaiah 24:4-6.
Introduction
The title of this study needs no explanation. The major topic on the news channels of America and much of the world since April 20, 2010 has been the “oil flow” in the Gulf of Mexico.
Over these past two months I have received many emails asking me if this disaster occurring in the Gulf has any “Biblical significance” to end-time prophecy? At first I was hesitant to answer, because the full scope of this disaster was not immediately apparent and the PTB have done their best to keep it hidden from the public. But the Lord has explicitly stated in His inspired Word, “For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest [unveiled; revealed]; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad,” Luke 8:17.
It is now obvious that what has occurred [and is still occurring] in the Gulf is a disaster which will ultimately affect every nation on earth. As more information on this disaster has surfaced and continues to surface, I can now say without hesitation that this “oil flow” is going to have Scriptural significance for the whole world. This is what this Bible study is about. Join us for an enlightening study…..
Identifying the Problem
After two months of bald faced lies on the part of British Petroleum (BP), the Obama administration, and the morally bankrupt sickos in the liberal news media, the real truth about this OIL GUSHER is finally being revealed.
The Oil…….The first problem is the oil itself. Right after the (1) accident (2) sabotage (3) planned disaster [???] which started the oil gusher in the Gulf, the public was told that BP estimated there was probably 1,000 barrels of oil a day that was “leaking” out into the Gulf. After some two months of listening to their lies, always dutifully repeated
1
by the dumb parrots in the liberal news media, it is now known that some 4 million gallons of oil are gushing out into the Gulf every day. The so-called “spill” is really a gusher which some are even calling an “oil volcano” due to the amount of oil gushing out of the opening in the sea bed. According to a number of different sources, approximately 40 percent of the water in the Gulf has now been replaced by oil. Wow!
Where is all this oil going? The ocean currents in the Gulf are now carrying the oil out of the Gulf and into the Atlantic Ocean. The oil is being carried by the Atlantic currents up the east coast of the United States and is already spreading out into the Atlantic towards Europe. Everywhere the oil goes the sea beds are being contaminated, and fish and other marine life are dying. The professionals who study the ocean currents believe that this oil gushing from the sea floor in the Gulf will reach into and contaminate every ocean and sea in the entire earth within 18 to 24 months. Folks, we are looking at a disaster which will have WORLD WIDE CONSEQUENCES.
The Chemicals……However, the oil itself is not the extent of the problem. Flowing up out of the sea bed with the oil are numerous chemicals which are highly toxic [poison] and FLAMMABLE, foremost among them being Hydrogen Sulfide, Benzene, and Methylene Chloride. These chemicals will not only kill the sea life in the oceans of the world, but they will kill human beings, birds and animals, and plant life. When mixed with water or heated by the Sun some of these chemicals become even more toxic than in their inert state. When they emerge on to the surface the process of evaporation turns them into gases which become air borne. Breathing these fumes is like breathing sickness and DEATH into one’s body. When the right temperature is reached just a spark will cause the gases to EXPLODE in a gigantic fireball.
The Weather…….In the process of evaporation some oil and chemicals will be caught up into the atmosphere. This will then return to the earth in the form of rain. Some areas around the Gulf are already experiencing this toxic rain which has a detrimental effect on humans, animals, birds, and vegetation. Wherever this rain is falling, the vegetation is dying. ALL OF IT! Even the weeds! It should be obvious to any thinking person that when this becomes widespread there will be a “rain of death” that will kill off plants, animals, birds, and humans, and will cause WORLD WIDE FAMINE upon the earth. Those who claim to believe in and fear God might do well to read Revelation 6:5-6 and Joel 1:15-20 RIGHT NOW!
The Latest Discovery…….Now after nearly two months someone finally thought of checking the flow of oil coming up out of the sea bed for RADIATION. In just the past two weeks we have finally learned that the oil flow in the Gulf is bringing up with it both URANIUM and THORIUM. The amounts of these are FAR ABOVE what is considered “safe levels” for humans and other living creatures. As if the people along the Gulf didn’t already have enough problems to worry about, the oil and chemicals pouring forth from the seabed are also contaminated with RADIO ACTIVE materials. This uranium and thorium, far above safe levels, is also being carried by the oil flow and the currents in the sea. Have you ever heard of “radiation sickness”? No! Well you will!
Examining the Background
2
The public has never been told the truth about oil! Period! We were taught as children in school that oil comes from organic matter which grew on the surface of the earth in the past. Supposedly over BILLIONS OF YEARS this organic matter was turned under the surface of the earth by earthquakes. The weight of the earth then crushed the oil out of the organic matter and formed pools of oil beneath the earth’s surface. This FALSE TEACHING has served as one of the “crutches” that has aided the evolutionary scientists in explaining away the existence of Almighty God. Now this claim has been revealed as A BALD FACED LIE on the part of these evolutionary scientists. Guess who revealed it? The bumbling scientists themselves!
Earth’s Age…….Folks, the claim that the earth is 4.5 billion years old is nothing but a bald faced lie. The inspired Word of God DOES NOT give the exact age of the earth, but it certainly suggests that the earth is young, likely somewhere in the neighborhood of 7,000 to 12 thousand years old. There are all kinds of evidences preserved in the earth itself which PROVE that our planet is young among the heavenly bodies of earth’s solar system. I could say much more on this subject, but a treatise on the age of the earth is not the intent of this study. I’ll leave that for another study at another time.
However, if you are willing to do the research, in the scientific publications written only four to five hundred years ago the “scientists” of those days “theorized” about the age of the earth. Some of them wrote in obvious “awe,” that the earth “could be as much as 20,000 years old.” As time passed other “scientists” dared to suggest that earth might be 50,000 years old. As more time passed, their guesses expanded. As late as the 1700’s and even into the early 1800’s “scientists” wrote that the earth was “possibly” 100,000 years old. As mankind passed into the 19th and 20th centuries, the LIE got bigger and the time span got longer in order to accommodate the rotten, stinking, blasphemous, teaching of atheistic evolution. So now these “all knowing” scientists today claim that the earth is 4.5 billion years of age. Sic! Talk about the nose on Pinocchio! The last time I checked Psalm 14:1 was still in the Bible. So is Revelation 21:8!
The Discovery…….Back in the late 1950’s and early 60’s some “scientists” in the oil industry began to suspect that what was commonly believed about oil being formed from organic sources was not correct. This was because those in the oil industry could return years later to oil deposits which had previously been pumped bone dry, and they could once again pump oil from those same deposits. It became obvious that the oil was being replenished from some source. The source had to be deeper in the bowels of the earth, for the oil deposits obviously were not being replenished from the surface of the earth.
So in the 1970’s the nation of Russia began drilling deep wells in search of the real source of oil. I mean DEEP WELLS. I remember reading about one well that made news headlines back in the 1970’s that was over 40,000 feet in depth. That is some 8 miles down into the bowels of the earth. The Russian drillers quickly learned that pressure at such depths is above anything mankind had ever previously encountered. The Russians hit such high pressure in their deep drilling that on five different occasions the pressure caused the Russian wells to erupt into gushers of such force that they could not be controlled with any of man’s modern technology. Russia experimented with those five wells, finally succeeding in stopping all five of the wells from flowing through the
3
use of NUCLEAR BOMBS. However, keep in mind that all five of the deep wells drilled by Russia were on land. None of them were drilled beneath the sea or ocean.
What the Russian drillers discovered in drilling their deep wells is a source of oil now called Abiotic oil. This KIND of oil is only found deep in the bowels of the earth. This Abiotic oil is not formed from organic matter, but rather is chemically created in the bowels of the earth under tremendous heat and pressure and is INEXHAUSTIBLE. It is the oil that over a period of years, because heat from earth’s molten core causes all interior moisture to slowly gravitate upwards towards the surface of the earth, slowly refills the cavities in the earth where previous deposits of oil once existed but were totally pumped dry. Amazing! Yes, our God is amazing! He has designed His creation to function in an amazing manner. Just how amazing these atheistic scientists have yet to learn, BUT THEY WILL!
The Eternal Fires of Hell…….I want to digress in this study for a moment. As a Christian believer who seriously STUDIES the inspired Word, I wondered for many years how the fires of hell and the lake of fire and brimstone could burn “for ever and ever” as a place of eternal punishment for the incorrigible wicked. See Deuteronomy 32:22, Isaiah 5:14, 14:9, 34:9-10, 66:23-24, Matthew 5:29-30, Mark 9:42-49, Revelation 14:9-11, 19:20, 20:10, 20:14-15, and 21:8.
Now, I know I have at least part of the answer. The discoveries of these atheistic scientists provide some insight for all those who truly believe God’s Word. It is a fact that with every new “discovery” these atheistic scientists make, they are proving again and again the Word of God to be absolutely true. I am well aware that is not their intention, but they just can’t help themselves! The Lord is still in charge! Praise God!
Folks, Almighty God is the Master Chemist WHO created a chemical process in the bowels of the earth which continually replenishes THE OIL. This inexhaustible source of oil will obviously fuel the fires of hell and the lake of fire and brimstone in order to keep them burning “for ever and ever,” Revelation 14:11. Is it just coincidence that “pitch,” a form of oil, is mentioned in the Scriptures in connection with the land of Egypt and the land of Edom? Is it just coincidence that “pitch” is found today in the area around the Dead Sea where Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, and in the area around the ancient city of Babylon in the nation of Iraq? Think about it!
The Real Story…….It is this deposit of Abiotic oil that the Russian drillers “discovered” in the 1970’s, which has since made Russia the world’s leading producer of oil. It is also this deep underground source of Abiotic oil that British Petroleum was trying to locate when they began drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. But the truth about this is one of the things the public hasn’t been told…..
Neither BP nor the news media has told the public that BP contracted “secretly” with the U.S. government to drill this deep well. This information has surfaced in just the last month. Our government wanted to tap into this inexhaustible supply of Abiotic oil without the rest of the world knowing about it, so they hired BP to do the job. The government’s “secret” deal with BP has now brought upon humanity a WORLD DISASTER unlike anything which has occurred in human history since “the days of Noah.” Is this coincidence? I think not!

The Prophetic Significance…..
I could share much more information about what is happening in the Gulf, but in order to keep this study as brief and to the point as possible I want to turn our attention to the Scriptural and prophetic significance of this disaster. Read on…….
Man’s Departure…….Our text for this study explicitly states that “…all the nations that forget God” will be “…turned into hell…,” Psalm 9:17. Whether some want to believe this or not, this DOES include the United States of America. In fact, it includes ALL of the so-called “Christian” nations of the world, but since I was born and grew up in this country and it is my “earthly home,” it is the United States of America in particular that I have in mind as I write.
Folks, other than ancient Israel, no nation in human history has been so blessed as the United States of America. Why? Because it is a documented fact of our national history that this nation was founded upon the Judeo-Christian principles of God’s Word. Right from the beginning of our history the American people [not the corrupt politicians] sought to live according to the principles of morality set forth in God’s Word. This general sense of Biblical morality in America continued right up until the beginning of the Second World War. It was at that time…..
That the mothers and daughters of America left their homes to work in the “defense plants” building bombs, weapons, and other military equipment, while their husbands and fathers were away fighting the war. Right then the “seeds” were sown that would lead to America’s future destruction. Undermine the family and home and Satan will have succeeded in destroying everything in life that really matters, for it is Godly families and homes that hold any orderly society together. The very first thing Almighty God Himself established after the creation of mankind was the home. A real “home” is one man and one woman totally committed to love each other and to love God who has brought them together, exactly as portrayed by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. But what was the aftermath of the second world war…??
Out of the second World War came more prosperous times economically. Women, now used to working in the factories and defense plants, left their homes and children to go into public work. AND MOST STUPID MEN LOVED IT! The extra income meant more money to blow on luxuries they didn’t need, and previously couldn’t afford. With the extra income brought in by women working outside the home, “the good life” had arrived. To hell with the children! Sadly, “hell” is exactly where millions of children and young people have gone, and are still going today, without the personal attention and guidance of a Godly and loving mother in the home.
Then the divorce rate began to shoot up. Women had learned during the war that they could support themselves and chart their own course. They didn’t need a man around anymore! So in the years following the war, and continuing right to this present day, the people in this country, both men and women, turned to flirting, lust, fornication, adultery, divorce, promiscuity, women’s lib, homosexuality, lesbianism, and the cold blooded, premeditated, MURDER of the innocent unborn. Partying and pleasure and fun, fun, fun, have become the “norm” in America today, and “to hell” with God, the Bible, the church, Christianity, and especially those “fanatical Christians.” Sic! God have mercy!
5
In the now 65 years since the end of the second World War the people in this country have turned their backs on the God of the Bible and have “gone a whoring” after the gods of this world; lusts, sex, pleasures, money, materialism, alcohol, drugs, etc. This nation has “forgotten God” and now America is going to face the consequences whether the American people believe it or not!
Hey! If some readers do not like what I am saying, LUMP IT! I have stated truth exactly as I personally watched it happen, and I have no apology to make to anyone! I’m not writing to gain popularity, but to uphold truth! If some readers don’t like what I have said, then they are “living examples” of how this wicked nation has turned their back on the truth of God’s Word and have gone off into apostasy. Plain enough…?!?!?
God’s Accusation…….Now I want to call the attention of our readers to our second text for this study taken from Isaiah 24:4-6. These verses clearly speak of depletion of the soil [the earth mourning and fading away] and pollution of both the soil and the waters of the earth [defiled under the inhabitants]. Has this happened? Is it still happening today? Every honest reader knows the answers to these questions.
But why is it happening? In these inspired Scriptures Almighty God explicitly says that these things are happening “because…..the inhabitants of the earth…..have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.” What does the Lord mean by this accusation against humanity? Let’s just see…..
“the laws”…….The English word “laws” in this verse is translated from the Hebrew word, “torah.” This refers to the Ten Commandments given to Moses at Mt. Sinai some 3,400 years ago. These Ten Commandments given to Israel and the Jewish people still serve as the foundation upon which all moral, just, and righteous, human laws are based. It is through respecting and observing these moral laws that mankind is enabled to live together in peace in a just and orderly society. It is the ignoring and abandoning of these moral laws which bring sin, strife, war, and death upon mankind.
In Isaiah 24 Almighty God Himself accuses mankind of “defiling” the whole earth because humanity has today reached a point in human history when these moral laws are mocked and scorned, ignored and abandoned, and transgressed by most of mankind with no thought whatsoever of the consequences. As a result the earth is once again “filled with violence” [Genesis 6:11] as it was in “the days of Noah” before the flood, Luke 17:26.
“the ordinance”…….The “ordinance” in this passage is referring to these same “laws” about which the Lord has just spoken. However, the emphasis is not on the “ordinance,” but rather on the word “changed.” This word is translated from the Hebrew word, “halap.” This Hebrew word literally means “to change; to subvert; to corrupt; to by pass; to pierce; to cut through; to strike through; to alter; to abolish.” See Gesenius Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon, page 282, Strong’s No. 2498. In other words, the Lord is accusing mankind living today [this is prophecy] of totally corrupting and subverting the whole purpose for which He gave moral and righteous laws to mankind. Again listen to the Word, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight,” Isaiah
6
5:20-21. Isn’t this exactly what we see happening in the world around us today? You know it is! The governing bodies of the nations of the world today are making laws which are diametrically opposed to moral righteousness and justice. No wonder God’s judgment is swiftly descending upon humanity!
“the everlasting covenant”…….The is the third accusation the Lord levels against mankind, explicitly stating that the earth is “defiled” because the “inhabitants thereof” have “broken the everlasting covenant.” What “covenant” is the Lord referring to in this verse? Let’s see…..
According to the “law of first mention,” the first time the word “covenant” even occurs in the Bible is found in Genesis 6:18 where the Lord told Noah that He would “establish” His “covenant” with him. After the flood Noah and his family, and all of the living creatures that were with them came out of the ark, Genesis 8:15-19. Noah then built an altar and offered up a sacrifice to the Lord. Right at that point the Lord began setting forth the terms of “the everlasting covenant” [9:12; 9:17] to Noah. This “everlasting covenant” is the subject being discussed from Genesis 9:1 through 9:17. Study these verses carefully, and take note of the terms of this covenant given to Noah and all mankind which should come after Noah. This is then the “everlasting covenant” that the Lord accuses mankind of violating in Isaiah 24:5.
Now what is in this covenant that has been so violated by mankind that Almighty God has decreed judgment upon all the inhabitants of the earth, Isaiah 24:2-6? Let’s see…..
The very first command set forth in this covenant in Genesis 9:1 and repeated a second time in 9:7 is, “…Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.” Since this was repeated twice it must be very important to the Lord. Hello! Are you listening?
All the commands set forth by the Lord in this covenant are important, but it appears that two of them are absolutely essential to the preservation of a just and orderly civilization upon the earth. The second one is found in 9:6, “Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.” This is a direct command from God Almighty Himself for law abiding civilized men to execute capital punishment upon those of mankind who choose to murder their fellow human beings. Study Numbers 35:9-34 and let the truth of God’s Word stated there soak in.
In view of these plainly stated commands set forth by the Lord Himself in His “everlasting covenant,” how has mankind upon the earth, especially mankind living today, regarded these explicit commands of the Lord?
Remember Roe vs Wade…1973…Supreme Court ruling? Since the time that wicked ruling was handed down by the so-called “justices” [Sic!] of the Supreme Court of the United States of America, which “legalized abortion,” there has been an average of 5,000 innocent unborn babies callously MURDERED in this nation every single day. Folks, that is nearly 68 MILLION innocent unborn babies whose lives have been brutally snuffed out over these past 37 years. That is enough blood from the bodies of the innocent unborn to TURN THE GULF OF MEXICO BLOOD RED! Think about it!
Not only have the people of the United States of America committed this heinous crime against God and their own innocent unborn children, this wicked nation has INFECTED the entire world. America was the FIRST nation in modern times to “officially sanction” the killing of the innocent unborn. SHADES OF NAZI GERMANY! Well, if “Christian” America could do it, then those nations who once looked to America
7
to set the standards of moral leadership for the whole world, felt justified in also doing it.
Since 1973 practically every nation on earth has followed the rotten, vile, stinking, example of this country. Today even as I write multiplied THOUSANDS of innocent unborn children are being callously MURDERED in nearly every nation on earth, and the hands of America are dripping with their blood.
If you really want to know what Almighty God thinks about “legalized abortion” [Sic!], read 2 Kings 21:16, 24:4, Psalm 106:37-40, Isaiah 57:5, 59:7, Jeremiah 2:33-34, 19:3-5, and Ezekiel 16:20-21. In view of this GLARING TRUTH, every time I hear one of these “gung ho” Christians or Patriots loudly proclaiming “God Bless America!” I want to puke! WHY SHOULD GOD BLESS A NATION WHOSE HANDS ARE DRIPPING WITH THE BLOOD OF THE INNOCENT UNBORN? Why..?? Well…?? Justify it if you can! I want you to! I love this nation! I was born here, grew up here, and still live here, and I GRIEVE OVER WHAT THIS NATION HAS BECOME. We Americans, and yes we Christian believers in this country, figuratively speaking, every single day wade through the blood of the innocent unborn who have been callously murdered in this country for the past 37 years. Yet the American people have the UNMITIGATED GALL to ask God to bless our country? One thing I know for certain, all of the HYPOCRITES didn’t live in ancient Israel. God have mercy!
It is also a glaring truth that nearly every nation on earth today has abolished “capital punishment.” The prisons in this country are filled with people on “death row” who will NEVER be executed for their brutal crimes. The wicked politicians and equally wicked judges in this country today have become so enthralled with listening to jug headed “sociologists” explain “human behavior,” that they no longer retain any sense of COMPASSION OR JUSTICE for the victims. Oh no! Rather, the whole judicial system today is geared to show pity for and protect “the poor misunderstood criminal” who probably was raised in a “poor home” and had “such a miserable childhood” that he [or she] just lashed out against humanity and killed someone. Sic! Sic! Sic! I’m not real impressed with this “honey bucket” of philosophy issuing forth from most sociologists and psychiatrists today. It is obvious from the inspired Word that the Lord isn’t either!
The Terrible Consequences…….In Isaiah 24:6 the Lord explicitly states, “Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth ARE BURNED, and few men left.”
The word “therefore,” occurring twice in this verse, clearly indicates that mankind’s willful transgression of “the laws,” their changing of “the ordinance,” and their breaking of “the everlasting covenant,” will result in “the inhabitants of the earth” being “burned.” Further, the inspired Word tells us that there will be “few men left.” In other words, the present population of the earth is going to be vastly reduced during the coming
Tribulation period BY FIRE, just as the population of the earth was reduced in “the days of Noah” BY WATER, 2 Peter 3:3-7. There will be so many people burned during the swiftly approaching Tribulation period, that the inspired prophecies tell us that the survivors of the Tribulation will literally walk on the ashes of the wicked. See Ezekiel 28:18 and Malachi 4:1-3. Read it for yourself!
Folks, whether some want to believe it or not, this most definitely includes the United States of America. In fact, events occurring in the world RIGHT NOW may indicate
8
that the “burning” of the wicked could very well begin with the destruction by fire of the United States of America. What do I mean? Well let’s see…..
The Future Tribulation Period
A few weeks ago I sent out to our readers a study entitled, “Rightly Dividing the Revelation.” I followed that study up with another study entitled, “After…..” In both of these studies I clearly set forth the order in which the judgments of the Tribulation are to be poured out upon the earth, and backed up [proved] every point I made with book, chapter, and verse, exactly as 1 Thessalonians 5:21 commands God people [true believers] to do. I have been given NO SCRIPTURAL REASON whatsoever to change my mind on what I wrote. PERIOD!
I mention this to emphasize that shortly after the beginning of the Tribulation the Seven Trumpets of Revelation 8 will begin to “sound.” Here is what is recorded about the sounding of the very first trumpet:
“The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up,” Revelation 8:7. [King James Version]
“And the first angel sounded [his] trumpet; and there was hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was cast upon the earth: and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up,” 8:7. [GLTTrAW]
“The first angel blew [his] trumpet, and there was a storm of hail and fire mingled with blood, cast upon the earth. And a third part of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees was burned up and all the green grass was burned up,” 8:7. [Amplified Bible]
“The first blew his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood which were poured on the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees, and all the green grass,” 8:7. [New Testament in the Language of Today]
“The first angel blew his trumpet. Then hail and fire mixed with blood was poured down on the earth. And a third of the earth and all the green grass and a third of the trees were burned up,” 8:7. [The Everyday Bible]
Do I need to list anymore versions of Scripture to drive home the point I am making? All of these versions and others I could list make it clear that shortly after the beginning of the Tribulation one third of the earth will be burned up. This means that every nation and people in that particular one third of the earth which is burned up will cease to exist as nations and peoples during the remainder of the Tribulation period. Hello! Do I have your attention yet?
Which One-Third…??
9
Let’s begin answering this question by the process of elimination. Take a world globe and divide the land masses of the earth into three equal parts by drawing three straight lines from the top of the globe [the North Pole] down to the bottom of the globe [the South Pole]. Now go to your Bible and see which one third of the earth is NEVER mentioned in the prophecies dealing with “the day of the Lord” [Tribulation]. While checking this out in your Bible, also carefully notice which two-thirds of the earth are repeatedly mentioned in the prophecies dealing with the Tribulation in the end-time. Scriptural light should begin to break forth…..
Folks, where in the end-time prophecies of the Bible is the United States mentioned? I mean clearly enough that there can be no question about identifying it! Where is Canada mentioned? Where is Mexico mentioned? Where is Central and South America mentioned? Where are any of the nations of this “western hemisphere” mentioned in the end-time prophecies dealing with the Tribulation? Where?
Don’t bother sending me your “opinion” or “theory.” Don’t bother sending me “George Washington’s [supposed] vision. [Barf!] I’m serious about searching for the truth of end-time prophecy. I want book, chapter, and verse please, where these nations of the “western hemisphere” can be clearly identified as fulfilling a significant role in the prophecies of the Tribulation. Where is this found in God’s Word? Well…??
If one pays careful attention to the prophecies which deal with the Tribulation period, the nations and peoples which do fulfill Tribulation prophecy CAN be identified…..
(1) The nations of Europe are mentioned. “Gomer, and all his bands” are a reference to the related Germanic races of Europe, Ezekiel 38:6.
(2) The British Isles and their extended colonies are mentioned. “Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof,” Ezekiel 38:13. In ancient times “Tarshish” referred to the British Isles, whose ships sailed all over the known world. To this day British sailors are still referred to as “Tars.”
(3) The nations of the Middle East and northern Africa are repeatedly mentioned in so many places that I don’t need to labor the point. Israel, Egypt, Libya, and Ethiopia are repeatedly mentioned. Likewise Lebanon, Syria, Arabia, Edom, Moab, and the land of the Ammonites [modern Jordan] are repeatedly mentioned.
(4) The nation of Turkey which bridges the gap between Europe and Asia has a significant role to play in the end-time prophecies. “…the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands,” Ezekiel 38:6. .
(5) The nations of Persia [modern Iran] and Babylon [modern Iraq] are both
repeatedly mentioned in the end-time prophecies.
(6) The nation of Russia and “all the families of the north” are easily identified in
the prophecies of Ezekiel 38 – 39 and also in other prophetic passages.
(7) The nations of Asia are mentioned. “…the kings of the east [Greek…from the
rising sun] in Revelation 9:14-19 and 16:12.
This list accounts for the nations of Europe, Asia, and Africa, which was the whole known world in ancient times. The nations of the western hemisphere were nothing but “legends” in the minds of people from the known world up until their actual discoveries and exploration beginning as late in the history of the nations as “1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue.”
10
We can find all of the nations and continents listed above in the prophetic Scriptures dealing with the end-time. But where do we find the nations of the “western hemisphere” in the end-time prophecies dealing with the Tribulation period? Where?
In order to drive home the point, let’s do one more little experiment. We have already pointed out that Isaiah 24:6 explicitly states that because of man’s wickedness upon the earth in these last days “…therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.”
Now notice that Isaiah 24:14-16 states, “They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea. Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea. From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous…” Obviously these songs of glory and praise to the Lord are being sung by those who will have survived these fires. The fact that there will be survivors and that they will acknowledge and give praise to the Lord for their survival is significant in itself. But notice the location from which this singing of praises to the Lord is coming…..
Take your globe again and place a finger on Israel as the starting point, for all of the prophecies of God’s Word came forth from Israel and the fulfillment of the prophecies ultimately relates back to Israel in some way, Deuteronomy 32:8. Now turn the globe and find the spot which is directly on the opposite side of the earth from Israel. That spot represents “the uttermost part of the earth” from the nation of Israel. Now where is it?
If you follow the instructions, the spot you locate directly on the opposite side of the earth from Israel will be in the ocean, with the nearest land mass being THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Hello! Is light breaking through yet?
Back to the Oil Gusher…..
If any reader hasn’t noticed, the entire world is paying attention to the oil flowing from the Gulf of Mexico because this “runaway” oil flow has the potential of at least temporarily wiping out agriculture and vegetation over the whole earth, as well as killing off massive amounts of sea life. This would immediately create a world wide food shortage followed by world famine. The real truth about what is happening in the Gulf has already been reported on by the news media in Europe, Asia, and Africa, while the liberal American news media has been feeding the American people a steady diet of lies, lies, and more lies. For instance…..
Weeks ago the leading Russian newspaper, PRAVDA, published an editorial predicting that the entire eastern half of the United States would become a desert, due to the prevailing winds carrying toxic rain east and north from the Gulf. This toxic rain, according to their editorial, will destroy all the agriculture and vegetation in the eastern half of the U.S., even including weeds, and the United States will simply cease to exist as a nation. Is this really possible? Let’s see what God’s inspired Word says…..
The Present Scenario
I have received loads of information about what is occurring in the Gulf. Admittedly,
11
some of this information is only rumor being circulated by unreliable sources. But other “leaks” revealing the glaring truth have come from highly reliable sources; people who know exactly what they are talking about, who themselves are frightened, and are desperately trying to warn the American people.
In reality, the Gulf oil flow is uncontrolled and uncontrollable. As already pointed out in this study, not only is oil gushing from the sea bed with uncontrollable pressure, but it is also bringing up with it Hydrogen Sulfide, Benzene, Methylene Chloride, and Uranium and Thorium, all of which are highly toxic [poison] and flammable. Then the BP idiots “supposedly” working to stop the oil flow have been adding to this lethal mixture, millions of gallons of CorExit 9500, a dispersant supposed to dilute the oil. This dispersant is also highly toxic [killing humans] and flammable, killing fish and other sea creatures and plant life, and it becomes even more toxic and flammable when evaporated into gaseous form by the heat of the Sun.
Add to this the fact that cracks which were already in the sea floor when BP began drilling their deep well are now enlarging and new cracks are developing daily, releasing not only more oil but large quantities of Methane gas. It has become public knowledge that BP drilled their deep well directly over a huge bulge in the sea floor, the bulge being caused by Methane gas trapped under the sea floor. BP was aware of this bulge in the sea floor and knew exactly what was causing the bulge years before they began drilling, and yet chose to drill in that location anyway.
Now all of these chemicals are evaporating on the surface of the sea, and are being carried by the prevailing winds EASTWARD and NORTHWARD from the Gulf, and UPWARDS into the clouds above the Gulf. Odors from these gaseous chemicals have already been reported in some places as far inland as 100 miles, and according to tests made with sensitive detection instruments minute quantities of these gases have been detected in some places as far inland as 200 miles.
So what has really been created in the Gulf, and which continues to grow more deadly with every passing day, is a GIGANTIC BOMB. The size of this BOMB will be just as large outwards and upwards as wherever these highly flammable chemicals and gases are carried by the prevailing winds. God have mercy!
Due to this situation, plans are already in the works by the U.S. government for the MANDATORY EVACUATION of the entire Gulf coast area. Why hasn’t this been reported to the public by the main line news media in this country? Sic! If any reader doesn’t know the answer to that question, then just go back to sleep! You are likely “half dead” in “trespasses and sins” [Ephesians 2:1] and really need salvation!
Since word of this coming evacuation has now “leaked out,” the PTB have decided to “tone it down.” They fear a general uprising of the people and all out civil war. So now they have decided to begin the evacuation by “regions,” while telling the public that they are “forced to do it to protect the public.” Anything rotten the politicians do, they always want to come out of it “smelling like heroes.” Sic! So now the first “region” to be forcibly evacuated will be the immediate area along the Gulf coast from Corpus Christi, Texas to Panama City, Florida and only a few miles inland. Once they have successfully achieved this first “relocation” of the people without too much resistance, then they will “bite off another chunk,” and then another and another and another. This is the way Satan and his crowd has always worked; a little at a time.
12
The “Potential” Future Scenario
God’s inspired Word explicitly states in Revelation 8:7 that when the First Trumpet sounds “…hail and fire mingled with blood…” are “…cast upon the earth: and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.”
Isn’t this exactly what is predicted in the prophecy transliterated by Peter on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2:19? “and I will show wonders [miraculous signs] in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke: the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:…”
Every true believer who seriously studies and believes the prophecies knows that “signs” have been showing up in the heavens since the beginning of this present 21st century, but over the past two to three years these “signs” have greatly increased. This same thing can be said about “…signs in the earth beneath…” Some of the greatest earthquakes in human history have occurred since the beginning of this present century, and more are occurring with nearly every passing day.
Immediately after Peter said, “…signs in the earth beneath;” he then added an inspired description of such “signs,” “…blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke…” This is the exact thing that John predicted to be “…cast upon the earth…” in Revelation 8:7 at the sounding of the First Trumpet. Is this just coincidence? Think about it!
Is it then also “just coincidence” that what is occurring in the Gulf RIGHT NOW has the potential to fulfill both of these prophecies to the letter? Well…??
RIGHT NOW the entire Gulf coast area [a thousand plus miles east to west and almost that width north to south] is filled with oil and chemicals, and highly flammable fumes from the chemicals. The oil is also flammable when the right temperature and source of flame is applied to set it off. Now guess what our illustrious politicians are seriously contemplating doing to stop the flow of oil? They are now seriously discussing exploding A NUCLEAR BOMB at the bottom of the sea in an effort to stop the flow of oil from the sea bed. Oh, yes they are!
The Russian government has been urging the United States to take such action before all the seas and oceans of the earth are contaminated. As recently as yesterday [June 29th] former President Bill Clinton made a speech shown on national TV urging the Obama administration to shut off the flow of oil with A NUCLEAR BOMB and thereby “save the world.” Sic! Sic! [That’s a double sic!]
Is this a good idea? Keep in mind that the floor of the sea bed is already fractured and is leaking both oil and methane gas in numerous places. Keep in mind that a gigantic methane gas bubble is trapped under the sea floor and is actually causing the sea floor to bulge upward under the pressure being exerted upon it by the trapped methane. So what could actually happen if a NUCLEAR BOMB was exploded under these conditions? Rather than stopping the flow of oil, the nuclear bomb could break up the sea floor releasing in an instant all of the methane gas trapped there? Think about it!
Dear readers, there exists RIGHT NOW a potential for an explosion unlike any previous explosion in all of human history. The explosion of the NUCLEAR BOMB could easily produce the high temperature and “spark” necessary to ignite all of the oil
13
and the toxic chemicals and flammable gases in the entire Gulf of Mexico [don’t forget the radiation] and the surrounding area, turning the entire area into one GIGANTIC EXPLOSION AND FIRESTORM that could literally “wipe out” this entire western hemisphere. Every city, town, village, home, and combustible structure would instantly explode into flames.
Further, Such an explosion would literally shake the entire earth. There is no question in my mind that the shock wave from the explosion would set off the New Madrid fault along the Mississippi River, the San Andreas fault along the west coast, the Yellowstone super volcano caldera in Wyoming, and the Lord only knows how many more fault lines and volcanoes in this country and around the whole earth. Every man made dam in this country would be destroyed releasing hundreds of millions of gallons of water to go roaring down river beds destroying everything in their path. Such an explosion would also create a tsunami [tidal wave] in the Gulf hundreds of feet high that would sweep inland over the U.S., Mexico and Central America, Cuba and the Caribbean islands, and even over parts of South America. IN ONE TERRIBLE 24 HOUR PERIOD THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WOULD CEASE TO EXIST, and very likely all of the nations in the whole “western hemisphere” would also be destroyed at the same time. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY AND THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WESTERN HEMISPHERE WOULD DIE!
Also the entire earth would be plunged into TOTAL DARKNESS as the upper atmosphere of the earth was filled with smoke from the initial explosion and from a million fires kindled throughout the western hemisphere of the earth. This smoke would totally block out the light of the Sun for ????? days. God only knows!
Impossible you say! It can’t happen! Surely Almighty God would not even allow something like this to happen! Why would the Lord allow something like this to occur? Why..?? Because there are wicked men living on this earth today who insist on “playing God” rather than submitting themselves to God. The gullible public looks up to these wicked men as “great leaders” of the world, and obediently and blindly follows their “leadership” instead of looking to the Lord God of Heaven who created them. THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES TO PAY for such blind devotion, exaltation, and worship of wicked men, rather than worshiping and serving the God who created man. Read Isaiah 24:1-6 again. In fact, carefully read Revelation 8:7 again and ask the Lord to give you the “faith” to believe His Word. Your eternal destiny may very well depend upon it! And while you are reading, read Isaiah 45:21-23.
Conclusion
What I have set before my readers in this study is not some event months or years away which may or may not occur. I have set before our readers A WORLD DISASTER which is taking place RIGHT NOW. With every tick of the clock and every passing day this situation in the Gulf is becoming steadily worse. Tomorrow it will be worse than it is today. At some point VERY SOON “critical mass” is going to be reached, and then all of humanity on earth will have “hell to pay.”
Are things going to work out exactly according to the “potential scenario” which I have set forth in this study? I DO NOT KNOW! I make no claim of knowing! What I
14
have set before our readers in this study is a possible fulfillment of prophecies which the Lord Himself in His inspired Word explicitly states WILL COME TO PASS. Whether the Lord uses this Gulf oil disaster to fulfill these prophecies remains to be seen. But seeing how close the prophecies appear to harmonize with this present crisis in the Gulf, are you willing to risk your eternal soul on the outcome? Well…???
Folks, there is ONLY ONE SURE WAY out of this present mess, and that “way” is “straight up” through the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Every true believer who is seriously studying the prophecies of God’s Word KNOWS that we are living right at the end of this present dispensation. The Lord could come at any moment of any hour of any day now to rapture His people to glory. And He will come, Revelation 3:10. When He comes, will you be ready? Think about it!
Do you have assurance that you have been cleansed and saved from sin through the “saving grace” of the Lord Jesus Christ? A personal experience of saving grace is the ONLY WAY anyone will ever be “accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man,” Luke 21:36; 20:35-36; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:5; Acts 16:30-31; 20:21; Romans 10:8-13; John 5:24.
If any reader needs spiritual help, either for salvation or for assurance of salvation, please contact me. I know Him who is “the way, the truth, and the life,” John 14:6. It would be my joy and blessing to introduce you to Him.
May God grant to every reader His grace and mercy is my prayer.

July 2, 2010 Two Months away from Tribulation’s Seven Years?
The beginning of the Tribulations seem to be on Sept 9,2010. This is my wife’s birthday so it is a good sign for me from the Lord.
We shall be seeing a lot more things happening in these two months as Psalm 83 war and the beginning of the Gog-Persia war. Interesting times we live on.

“‘ONE DATE’ ON WHICH WE SHOULD ALL BE ABLE TO AGREE“
Dear Doves,
Whether you believe there is a seven-year (84 month) tribulation or a three and one-half year (42 month) tribulation, we should all be able to agree that the LAST DAY of the tribulation is the DAY BEFORE the ‘Second Coming’ of our Lord Jesus! The ‘Second Coming’ of the Lord ENDS the tribulation, therefore if we can identify the particular Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets that the Lord will return we can count backwards to the beginning of the tribulation:
If the Lord’s ‘Second Coming’ is on Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets September 21, 2017 then the tribulation begins 42 months earlier in the Spring of 2014 or 84 months earlier in the Fall of 2010. Whichever it is, the Lord will Rapture will His Church immediately “in a moment” prior to the beginning of the tribulation whether it is 42 months or 84 months prior to His ‘Second Coming’.
1 Corinthians 15:52
“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptable, and we shall be changed.”It is for sure that the seven-year long ’70th Week of Daniel’ will begin 84 months prior to the ‘Second Coming’ of the Lord, therefore if the date of the ‘Second Coming’ is on Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets September 21, 2017 the ’70th Week of Daniel’ will begin this Fall on or soon after Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets September 9, 2010.
Hang-on, Doves, we are rounding third-base and heading for ‘Home’ !
Come Lord Jesus!

June 30, 2010 Video of USA Capitals Relationship to 9/11 and the Gulf Oil Spill by Pastor Gallups
There are no coincidences, this pastor’s video shows the relationship of the 9/11 disaster and the gulf oil spill with the original capitals of the USA and with Britain.
An excellent observation and presentation by a pastor with several important videos of discovery.

July 13, 2010 Is war in Lebanon Imminent?
A friend sent me this e-mail and I am posting it now.

Subject: ALERT! URGENT! was the “gematria” I found correct? / Tom Gaston
Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2010 11:05:03 -0500
ALERT!
Has the First AV crisis begun leading down to the 9th Av ? And is it beginning with ” Lebanon ” ?
The Jerry Golden report: Notice the date, which was 7 – 11 – 2010. This was yesterday ” First Av .”
quote :
Reports coming out of southern Lebanon tells us that UN Troops are under attack by Hezbollah and Lebanese civilians who are not being allowed into villages along the border with Israel. Air and other surveillance has shown that a huge amount of weaponry, including missiles, is being moved closer to Israel’s border . ( End quote ).
Now look once again at my gemtria’s which I found and sent out yesterday or the day before.
Israel first Av / Yod = 10 Shin = 300 Resh = 200 Aleph = 1 Lamed = 30 / Aleph = 1 / Aleph = 1 Beth = 2 / total = 545
Av Crisis / Aleph = 1 Beth = 2 / Mem = 40 Shin = 300 Beth = 2 Resh = 200 / total = 545
It is interesting that they both ” match ” in value! Remember that the ” Solar Eclipse ” is on the First Av this year which is July 11th.
Now watch this!
The first Av Solar Eclipse Crisis / Hay = 5 / Aleph = 1 / Aleph = 1 Beth = 2 / Shin = 300 Mem = 40 Shin = 300 Yod = 10 / Lamed = 30 Yod = 10 Koph = 100 Vav = 6 Yod = 10 Mem = 40 Aleph = 1 Vav = 6 Resh = 200 Vav = 6 Tau = 400 / Mem = 40 Shin = 300 Beth = 2 Resh = 200 / total = 2010
Has the crisis begun, and has it begun with Lebanon on the first Av ? Is this ” The Crisis ” which is being implied in the gematria above?

Reports coming out of southern Lebanon tells us that UN Troops are under attack by Hezbollah and Lebanese civilians who are not being allowed into villages along the border with Israel. Air and other surveillance has shown that a huge amount of weaponry, including missiles, is being moved closer to Israel’s border. Our news agencies here in Israel are telling us that Hezbollah is preparing for war and have escalated their movements as if they plan on being in a war very soon. One thing is very certain; the threat of war is growing by the minute. The IDF is on HIGH alert and soldiers are being advised to stay close to their units.
To ensure Hezbollah is fully aware that we know what they are doing in the villages near our borders, the IDF has been broadcasting aerial surveillance videos on TV showing that they are placing missiles and other weapons near Schools, Mosques, and Hospitals in order to assure a victory [at least in the national news media] for Israel will have no choice but to go after them . They are getting ready to fight two wars, the first one on the ground and the second for international opinion. This time around the Lebanese Government has brought Hezbollah into their government – making all of Lebanon open for Israel to attack. Syria has supplied Hezbollah with scud missiles capable of reaching all of Israel. Syria has been told that should Hezbollah use one of the scuds in an attack on Israel that she will pay a very heavy price (Isa 17:1).
What the IDF knows about the new weapons Hamas has in Gaza, and how efficient they are, remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain; things will be much different this time and both of Iran’s terrorist groups (Hezbollah and Hamas) could be planning a pre-emption and distraction for an Iranian attack.
What is now known is that the Saudis are also uptight over the Iranian threat. Not only have they opened their air space for an Israeli fly-over, but have even allowed Israel to use a couple of their airfields for refuelling. This brings to mind the Arab saying “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”.
Speaking of distractions; Libya is sending another “aid” ship to crash the Gaza blockade. This of course means diverting a lot of our naval resources to intercept this vessel – when they could be better used patrolling the Lebanese coast.
Once again I catch myself, like many others, shouting wolf, wolf! Well folks, the wolf is here and the question is; is he crazy or brave enough to attack? Talking with a few friends today in Jerusalem [who are all ex military officers], they believe we are about to go into some very hard days and they are very concerned.
As for this Ministry we are moving forward and we know we must keep our eyes on the things God has set before us. As for survival, we can only do so much and then the rest is in God’s Hands – yet I am sure He expects us to do so much.
All of this at a time when America has been taken over by Mr. Hussein Obama and the corrupted ones he has gathered around him to finish off the United States. I have never been able to understand how he was elected, and what is even harder too understand is how he is still sitting in the White House? My only answer is that a people get the government they deserve? Don’t get mad at me – just look around your country and be honest.
We need your help while it is still possible, to learn how to support CLICK.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel and all the IDF soldiers. Pray for this Ministry and your part in it.
Shalom, Jerry Golden
