An Atmosphere Conducive for the Underminer

| mon, may 17, 2010 |
 

One of many tornadoes to touch down in Oklahoma on May 10, 2010.

God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.

The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. Nahum 1:2-6

Though the word "atmosphere" is not in the King James Version of the Bible, there are plentiful references to the physical and spiritual atmospheric variants all throughout the Holy Ghost inspired Word of GOD.

 From the creation of the physical atmosphere in the opening verses of Genesis, as JEHOVAH separates the firmaments, to the closing chapter of Revelation, in which the supernatural atmosphere of the Kingdom of JEHOVAH is described, one can clearly see the CREATOR has created atmospheres as a necessary component in the inner workings of His plan.

Combining the atmospheric variants illustrated in the Word of JEHOVAH as well as the ones witnessed and personally experienced in our modern end-times environment with the revelation of JEHOVAH'S plan for Jerusalem, the eternal and indivisible capital of Israel on this earth and the type and shadow of the future home for believers in heaven, it becomes apparent that JEHOVAH'S timepiece directly influences the spiritual and physical atmospheres of both this world and the next.

Whether the atmosphere is spiritual, physical, or even the ambiance of any given situation, the combination of these atmospheres and the variables in which these combinations are interwoven are all directly influenced and related to the plan of JEHOVAH.

This interaction can be currently observed as the world rallies behind the United States' feverish ambition to divide the Covenant Land of Israel and Jerusalem. The result is a direct and observable impact upon every aspect of the supernatural and natural makeup of the atmospheric variants intimately connected to the spiritual and physical atmospheres of mortal mankind and this temporary earth according to the incomprehensibly intricate construct of JEHOVAH'S sovereign will.

Simply said, there is a Divinely instituted and governed cause and effect reaction to the approach that is taken towards Jerusalem, Israel, and the Covenant that binds them to the ALMIGHTY GOD. A Covenant reinforced by no greater power than the integrity of His Word.

This cause and effect is clearly stated by the prophet Obadiah in verse 15,

For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done (unto Israel), it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head. (emphasis added)

This verse, coupled with the promises made by JEHOVAH to Abraham passed on through the lineage of Jacob found in Genesis 12:2,3, And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (emphasis mine) allows the complexity of the cause and effect relationship to become quite elementary to understand. Those who curse Israel and the Covenant JEHOVAH established with Abraham are cursed and those who bless Israel and the Covenant JEHOVAH established with Abraham are blessed.

An example of this cause and effect reaction could be felt this past week in the atmosphere here in Oklahoma, as the atmosphere for several days had been heavy, sticky, and ominous. I believe the atmosphere here was being directly impacted by the demonic steps being taken by the USA, with the support of the world, against Israel and Jerusalem. Even the spiritual atmosphere felt heavy and dreadful as the unrelenting pressure from the Obama administration continued to unabashedly attempt to push Israel into a position of challenging their eternal Covenant with the ALMIGHTY GOD.

Going back a week further, this cause and effect relationship seemed to be set in motion by the US Special Envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell's visit to Israel, as he set out to announce the anticipated resumption of "peace talks", albeit indirect. The effects of this cause seemed to play out the whole time Mitchell was in Israel.

As Mitchell was in Israel, news here in the US was littered with chaotic and disaster related news reports.

Obama declared a federal disaster for the flooding destruction in Nashville and other counties of Tennessee after parts of the western and middle areas of the state saw 1,000-year flooding (along with areas of Kentucky). Some areas had an unprecedented two-day rain total of more than 19", which was the contributing factor to the Cumberland River's colossal crest of 51.86 ft, a height not seen since 1937 before the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flood control measures were implemented. Eleven other locations reported record-breaking river crests. Though the damage total is still unknown, the preliminary estimates are close to $1.5 billion dollars and at least 31 confirmed fatalities have been reported.

Faisal Shahzad, the 32-year-old American-Pakistani was charged with "terrorism and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction" by a federal court 2 days after his attempt to detonate a bomb in Times Square failed. (Very close to David Wilkerson's church (1/4mi) BTW)

Joe Bastardi releases hurricane outlook forecast, reporting that the Atlantic Hurricane seasons looked to be one for the record books. This forecast seemed to be reinforced by reports that the water in the Gulf and Atlantic Basin is warming at an abnormal rate because of uncharacteristically clear skies. (NOTE: Water temp. is a major key ingredient for the intensity of a hurricane). Bastardi compared this upcoming season to the first and third worst seasons on record, 2005 and 2008.

The 2005 hurricane season was the most active Atlantic hurricane season in recorded history and shattered many records previously set with 28 tropical and subtropical storms, 15 hurricanes, 7 major hurricanes, four cat 5 hurricanes, and a record tying five cat 4 hurricanes. Two of the hurricanes to reach cat 5 intensity were Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma, respectively the costliest and most intense hurricanes on record. The estimated loss of life totaled 3,865 deaths with a damage-estimated price tag of $130 billion. Five of the 7 major hurricanes made landfall: Dennis, Emily, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. Florida and Louisiana were both struck twice by major hurricanes. The most catastrophic hurricane to hit the USA mainland was Hurricane Katrina as she roared ashore on the Gulf Coast with a 30-ft (10m) storm surge. Katrina left 1,836 confirmed fatalities and $90.1 billion (2010 US $) worth of damage in the wake of her aftermath. Though the normal hurricane season is between June 1 and November 30, the 2005, Atlantic hurricane season pushed into January 2006, with continued storm activity.

The 2008 hurricane season was the fourth most active Atlantic hurricane season recorded since 1944, and the third costliest on record. It is so far the only season on record to have a major hurricane in every month during the hurricane season beginning in June and ending in November. The 2008 season left an estimated 1,055 fatalities and a price tag of approximately $47.5 billion (2008 US $) in damage. Of the estimated lives lost during the season, 800 came from Haiti after getting hit by 4 consecutive tropical systems, Fay, Gustav, Hanna, and Ike, with Hurricane Hanna being the deadliest.

The Dow Jones Flash crash set a record for the largest one-day point decline of 998.5 points in roughly 15 min, temporarily vaporizing $1 trillion in market value before its unprecedented rebound, though only partial. The market for the day closed -347.80 down, continuing a three day downturn of -631.51 points, that carried over into Friday's sell off of -139.89, finishing the week with a four day decline totaling -771.40 points. (George Mitchell arrived in Israel late Monday, through all four days of the US market sell off, he was in Israel holding meetings with Israeli and Palestinian officials, including Netanyahu and Abbas, to announce the long awaited start of US mediated indirect talks.)

BP's effort to stop the gaping 21" pipe from spewing Louisiana sweet crude into the Gulf continued to be the hot news item through out the week, though the true magnitude of the event remained increasingly elusive. (NOTE: I have included a section of the event timeline surrounding the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe that in part coincides with Mitchell's trip to Israel (Trip days marked with a Y.).

On Sunday, the State Department issued the following statement about Special Envoy George Mitchell’s trip to Israel per Philip Crowley:

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE

Office of the Spokesman

May 9, 2010

 

STATEMENT BY PHILIP J. CROWLEY,

ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF STATE FOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS

 

Statement on Special Envoy George Mitchell's Trip

 

Special Envoy Mitchell left the Middle East on Sunday (May 9), after completing the first round of proximity talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders.  The talks were serious and wide-ranging.

 

Both parties are taking some steps to help create an atmosphere that is conducive to successful talks, including President Abbas’ statement that he will work against incitement of any sort and Prime Minister Netanyahu’s statement that there will be no construction at the Ramat Shlomo project for two years.  They are both trying to move forward in difficult circumstances and we commend them for that.

 

We have received commitments from both sides, and we have made assurances to both sides, that are enabling us to move forward.  The full scope of these discussions will remain private.

 

As both parties know, if either takes significant actions during the proximity talks that we judge would seriously undermine trust, we will respond to hold them accountable and ensure that negotiations continue.

 

Special Envoy Mitchell emphasized the importance of making progress in these talks to enable the parties to move to direct negotiations that will result in a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Our overall goal remains a comprehensive peace in the Middle East.

 

He will return to the region next week to continue the proximity talks.

[end excerpt, emphasis mine]

 

 Once again the State Department spokesman Philip Crowley made another atmospheric reference as he described the moves by both the Israelis and the Palestinians to start indirect talks, stating that the two sides had taken "steps to create an atmosphere that is conducive to successful talks."

The next day on Monday, the atmosphere taking shape over Oklahoma was becoming increasingly conducive for a tornado outbreak.

Meteorologists had been tracking the weather system since the previous week. The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., warned the region that the atmosphere had the right mix of winds, heat, and moisture for tornadoes.

The timing behind the convergence of all these ingredients was perfect.

The super-cells exploded quickly around 4 p.m. just west and northwest of Oklahoma City.

These storms were fast movers, 55 to 60 mph. The updrafts (100+ mph) were powerful enough to keep grapefruit- to softball-size hail aloft in the main hail cores.

My wife and I were horrified as we watched the white van being picked up and thrown, along with several other cars, as we watched the tornado outbreak unfold live before our eyes. This was a spin-up to a tornado that impacted parts of Norman, Oklahoma.

The inflow to these storms were impressive, reminding me of the opening verses in Nahum about the dust of JEHOVAH'S feet.

Around 5 p.m., tornadoes began dropping out of the clouds, destroying everything in their paths. One tornado in particular came within one mile of my parent's house (GardenGirl) and destroyed several homes and two convenience stores that my family and I have visited.

Here are some 360-degree views from the damage a mile down the road from my parents' house.

 

Click the link and in the upper right hand corner of the picture you can select various scenes.

 

It is also very surreal for me to look at the 360-degree views of the damage, knowing that I have been in these stores numerous times and driven through this area affected by this twister countless times over the past 22 years.

 The aftermath brought back very vivid images of the aftermath that I witnessed after the EF5+ tornado of May 3, 1999, ripped through my town and destroyed several of our personal friends homes and sadly, even their lives.

 

The damage from this tornado outbreak is still being accessed and will take weeks, if not months to gather all the numbers, but so far, by the grace of God, the fatality number has been lowered from 5 to 2.

 

The type of tornado outbreak that took place May 10-11 was very rare even for tornado alley and is being reported as the second worst to hit Oklahoma since the 1999, May 3-4, tornado outbreak. This is interesting because of the other similarities just a little further under the surface.

 

In William Koenig’s book, Eye to Eye Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel, on page 93 he notes the following:

 

 May 4, 1999, Arafat was to declare Palestinian state & Jerusalem as its capital (postponed unit Dec. at Clinton request). May 6, Pres. Clinton wrote Arafat, said he had right to “own land.” Mrs. Clinton repeated support for Palestinian state. May 3-4, Oklahoma-Kansas Tornadoes: most powerful to ever hit U.S.; 316 mph record wind speed; $1.6 billion.

It was a letter dated April 26, 1999, written by President Clinton, addressed to Yasser Arafat that caused Arafat to postpone the declaration of a Palestinian State on May 4. In it, Bill Clinton said, “I am asking that you continue to rely on the peace process as the way to fulfill the aspirations of your people.” Bill Clinton was ultimately asking Yasser Arafat to place his trust in the US instead of declaring a state on his own, and per this request, Arafat obliged and postponed the declaration, placing his trust in Bill Clinton and I believe sealing the judgment that followed. Ironically, Netanyahu was also the Prime Minister of Israel at the time.

 

So, just as the 1999, May 3-4, tornado outbreak seemed to coincide with US President Bill Clinton personally reaffirming his commitment to the creation of a Palestinian State to PLO President Yassar Arafat, the 2010, May 10-11, tornado outbreak also seemed to similarly coincide with the current US President Barack Obama personally reaffirming his commitment to the creation of a Palestinian State to the PLO President Mahmoud Abbas and in both instances, Netanyahu was also a factor.

 

"The President congratulated President Abbas on the start of Israeli-Palestinian proximity talks," a White House statement said Tuesday. "He reiterated his strong support for the establishment of an independent, viable Palestinian state living in peace and security with Israel."

 

 The purpose of this post is not to focus solely on the damage and destruction, but to see the overwhelming evidence of judgment materializing in the spiritual and physical atmospheres connected to the demonic steps being taken to undermine the WORD of JEHOVAH and HIS eternal Covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

The undermining of JEHOVAH'S promises connected to Jerusalem and Israel combined with the unrepentant sins of gross iniquity that is rampant in our end-of-days environment presents a very volatile combination that continues to explode into observable events viewable by all but with understanding only coming to those with eyes to see and ears to hear. It is through the Scripture, Holy Spirit leading, and intimacy with the Messiah that these connections can even become apparent and as the days go on, more and more connections become blatantly clear. The picture is increasingly clear, the 100% need for Salvation, certainty of judgment, Christ's imminent return, the fast-approaching threshold of tribulation, and finally, the passing away of this current Heaven and earth.

This brings me to the next word of concern... undermine.

To undermine is to:

1.to injure or destroy by insidious activity or imperceptible stages, sometimes tending toward a sudden dramatic effect.

2.to attack by indirect, secret, or underhand means; attempt to subvert by stealth.

3.to make an excavation under; dig or tunnel beneath, as a military stronghold.

4.to weaken or cause to collapse by removing underlying support, as by digging away or eroding the foundation. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/undermine)

On Tuesday, May 11, 2010, President Obama sent a similar statement to Mahmoud Abbas on the phone as the one that had been made by the US State Department spokesman Philip Crowley 2 days prior. Obama "urged that President Abbas do everything he can to prevent acts of incitement or delegitimization of Israel," and said he would "hold both sides accountable for actions that undermine trust during the talks." (emphasis mine)

In Crowley's statement, he said, "As both parties know, if either takes significant actions during the proximity talks that we judge would seriously undermine trust, we will respond to hold them accountable and ensure that negotiations continue."

Both of the statements seem to send the same message and a definite warning about any attempt to undermine trust, but this warning seems to be more of a veiled threat to Israel about undermining trust than meets the eye and with regards to the words of Obadiah, a sign of utter catastrophe is no longer a distant speck upon the horizon for the USA.

Crowley's statement made on May 9th was eerily similar to the words VP Joe Biden used in his statement on Tuesday, March 9, exactly 2 months to the day prior, as he condemned the Netanyahu-led government's approval of 1,600 new housing units in East Jerusalem during his visit to mend strained ties with Israel.

"I condemn the decision by the government of Israel to advance planning for new housing units in East Jerusalem. The substance and timing of the announcement, particularly with the launching of proximity talks, is precisely the kind of step that undermines the trust we need right now and runs counter to the constructive discussions that I've had here in Israel. We must build an atmosphere to support negotiations, not complicate them.(full text here) (emphasis mine)

The day that the approval for 1,600 housing units in Ramat Shlomo located in East Jerusalem was announced, drawing this condemnation from the US per the lips of VP Biden, Biden also made a very undiplomatic move by showing up to the Netanyahu's almost 2 hours late for dinner. Reportedly, Biden had been on the phone to Washington (Obama) about how to handle this announcement. It was this phone conversation that would later result in the words Biden would use to condemn Israel's actions.

It would appear that the President of the United States of America is the one who came up with the use of the word undermine to describe, in a rather inflammatory way, the actions being made by the Israelis that he perceives to be provocative and status quo. In reality, the word undermine shouldn't be used to describe the actions being made by the Israelis in regards to their GOD given land and administered through their legal process; it does, however, accurately describe the steps that Obama is taking against the Word of JEHOVAH and His eternal Covenant with Abraham.

The revelation of this reveals the huge prophetic undercurrents surrounding this administration and the path that lies ahead of it as it continues its attempt to undermine the Word of JEHOVAH.

Just as the words, freeze, atmosphere, rock, and the other geo-related words used by this administration to describe the various elements of "commitment" to Israel and the "peace process" seemed to point to the judgments that followed their meddling, undermine seems to point to the complete dissolution of the US and this current administration. The word undermine seems to accurately describe the state of this nation's foundation, or rather complete lack thereof, upon which the US is supposed to be so firmly supported.

With Obama's pledge of commitment to the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state at the expense of Israel dividing the Covenant Land of JEHOVAH, it is President Obama and the nation over which he resides that is guilty of undermining trust.

Through insidious activity, this administration is attempting to undermine the sovereign Word of the ALMIGHTY GOD.

By Obama's own words of warning to Israel, this nation will be judged.

Everything attached to the USA and the agenda of the current POTUS will be undermined. All underlying support is being eroded away with every provocative measure this nation and the administration that represents her is taking against the Land of Israel. The USA is tempting the righteous hand of JEHOVAH with every curse.

The foundations are destroyed, and if not for the grace of the ALMIGHTY GOD, this nation would have already collapsed into a pile of useless rubble.

THE USA HAS HER APPOINTED DAY.

THE TEMPEST OF THE LORD IS COMING AND SHE HAS NO FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF HER GROSS INIQUITY.

SHE HAS UNDERMINED HER FOUNDATION WITH EVERY CURSE AND JUST AS EDOM, SHE WILL BE DESTROYED.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Matthew 7:24-27

When I think of the undermining going on to the foundation of this nation, the economy, and the society connected to the steps being taken against Israel and Jerusalem, I couldn't help but think about this parable Jesus Christ gave on the Sermon on the Mount. As I thought about this parable in light of the coming storm upon this land and how the foundation would fare, I was immediately reminded of a speech that President Obama gave at Georgetown University on April 14, 2009, in which I believe one of the greatest harbingers of the future collapse of the economy was given.

Now, there's a parable at the end of the Sermon on the Mount that tells the story of two men.

The first built his house on a pile of sand, and it was soon destroyed when a storm hit. But the second is known as the wise man, for when "the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock." "It was founded upon a rock."

We cannot rebuild this economy on the same pile of sand. We must build our house upon a rock. We must lay a new foundation for growth and prosperity: a foundation that will move us from an era of borrow and spend to one where we save and invest; where we consume less at home and send more exports abroad.

It's a foundation built upon five pillars that will grow our economy and make this new century another American century.

Number one, new rules for Wall Street that will reward drive and innovation, not reckless risk-taking.

Number two, new investments in education that will make our workforce more skilled and competitive.

Number three, new investments in renewable energy and technology that will create new jobs and new industries.

Number four, new investments in health care that will cut costs for families and businesses.

And, number five, new savings in our federal budget that will bring down the debt for future generations.

Now, that's the new foundation we must build. That's our house built upon a rock. That must be our future -- and my administration's policies are designed to achieve that future.

That is the house upon the rock: proud and sturdy, unwavering in the face of the greatest storms.

(FULL TRANSCRIPT)

In a grievous and blasphemous misapplication, Obama replaced the foundation of Jesus Christ, the Rock, in the above passage with his own ideology for economic reform. By connecting the economy of the United States to this mighty parable righteously spoken by the lips of the infallible Son of GOD, Obama's own words have described the outcome of the condemned the economy. Soon, the economy and its lack of foundation will be tested by an unprecedented storm.

This storm will be a convergence of many events simultaneously, much like the simultaneous events that took place recently during May 3 -10, except the events comprising this storm will be far greater in scale.

I believe that parts of this storm are already in play and fully observable, much like watching a supercell building on the not-to-distant horizon. The coming storm will be tremendous, frightening, and terrible. Warnings have been issued and righteous men and women led of the HOLY SPIRIT have all given the same forecast, but are you ready?

The only way to Salvation is through the loving arms of Jesus Christ.

He is the ONLY Way to eternal life with the Father in heaven.

He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

It is only through Jesus Christ that we are capable of fulfilling the purpose of our existence. It is only through Jesus Christ that life can be lived and eternal life can be achieved.

He paid the debt for sin so that we can be eternally free.

Words cannot adequately describe the joy, peace, comfort, and rest that are found in Jesus Christ and as I have said before in Who, What, When, Where, and Why, we will continually search for something or someone to fill the void that is empty without Jesus Christ.

The answer to this is simple, though many will try to complicate its simplicity. We need only to go to one place to find the answer; as a result of going to this place we will view the two following places from a different perspective.

The first place is a cross on a hill; the scene is over 2,000 years ago, at a place called Golgotha, a hill called "The Skull." Upon this hill a massive instrument of intense brutality, of which the sole purpose was to inflect the most amount of pain. Engineered for suffering, the Roman cross insured prolonged agony and certain death. Though this cross was made the same as the others, this cross was different, upon this Roman cross hung a man who was spotless, sinless, and bore the name Emmanuel, for upon it was the same God who is with us as He was that day on the cross

As the Messiah, the King of kings, our Blessed Redeemer hung there, His Blood raining down in torrents, the cross driven into earth becoming the altar, His body was sacrificed and presented as the atonement for every sin committed past, present, and future for all who would accept Him as King. A man who at any minute could call 12 legions of angels from heaven to rescue Him, to spare Him from the mortal pain, though many forget the sin of mankind alone was enough to tear in two the heart of the sinless Lamb. A man who even in death pleaded for the lives of those who drove the spikes deep into His flesh, weeping for the lives of every soul that would reject His death, yet inside encouraged by the souls He would redeem.

Upon the last breath, once the Holy Ghost left, the earth moved, the temple veil was split, man could now come before Jehovah, and He even caused the hardest of Roman soldiers to acknowledge He was the Christ. In death it all seemed to come to life. Salvation was set in place, the Blood of Christ was spilt, this is where we must go, and this is the sacrifice that we must never forget.

Such a selfless sacrifice by the King of kings is impossible for our inept minds to grasp, yet it seems to satisfy a longing so deep it must be the key to life. His act of love so incomprehensible it seems easier for the majority to reject the notion. If we can't bring ourselves to the cross of our Redeemer, then there is no further endeavor worth pursuit.

Under the shadow of the cross we must kneel, allowing the warm Blood of Jesus Christ to rain down upon our sinful souls, and allowing it to melt the icy heart sin produces. Under the body of Christ we find the key to completion, we see He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. All our questions answered by one man's response upon the cross. It is here that we must acknowledge Jesus Christ bore the burden of our sin, opening for us the door to eternal salvation, and presented His life as a sacrificial payment for our soul damning debt.

After we accept Jesus Christ for who He is, after we accept where He fits within our lives, we are ultimately shown another place.

In a tomb on loan we see the brief vision of our Savior's body being placed on a rock. Wrapped in burial cloth and sprinkled with the sweet fragrance of perfume, not the typical burial for a king, but this was not a typical king, this was the King of kings. Just like in life, even in the grave the Son of man had no place of His own to lay His head. He, like His Ekklesia, are just traveling through, concerned more with the will of His Father, and the fulfillment of such a will meant continual sacrifice and separation from worldly substance, so why would this tomb be any different?

The door was blocked and sealed, guards posted in an attempt to keep someone from taking the body of Christ, never realizing that the King would emerge from within. Death's seeming defeat of Jesus Christ seemed complete, impossible to overcome, but Jesus Christ is the Overcomer! No man, no tomb, and even the icy grip of death cannot hold the King of kings in an earthly grave. Three days later after hanging on a cross, just as the prophets had prophesied, HE IS RISEN! He's alive and we're forgiven, heaven's gates where opened wide, HE'S ALIVE!

Here at the tomb we are validated, we too conquer death, we too are victorious, having seen the tomb empty we understand further the questions we have sought to answer.

The final place is the Throne. If you are reading this I can safely say you are still alive and haven't seen the Throne of Jehovah. We can only at best imagine what it will be like to stand before the Eternal and Righteous King of kings. The Day of Judgment will be the completion or eternal damnation for each and every soul that stands before the King. Did you accept Jesus as the Sacrificial Lamb or did you accept the temporary pleasures of a temporary earthly world, the gifts of our adversary Satan? If you have chosen the temporary instead of the eternal, you will receive the same judgment as Satan whose pleasure you shared in and helped to advance in the earthly realm. Eternal damnation, forever from the presence of Jehovah, whether burning or in utter darkness with memories of blatant opportunities to accept the Lamb of God. Nothing will compare to the knowledge of never being eternally bound to the Creator and King. If you have chosen Jesus Christ, and followed after His instruction, enduring the sacrifices faced by separating yourself from a dying world, you will inherit all that Jehovah has given Jesus Christ -- eternal life and the completion of our creation, something we cannot currently comprehend and will most definitely take eternity to enjoy and experience.

The last place we go is only the beginning. At this point eternity will take a whole new meaning and at this point in life a concept we are incapable of understanding, but that doesn't change the validity of the Truth. Will you enter in as a good and faithful servant and child of Jehovah or will you be cast away as one Jehovah never knew?

Nothing in this world is worth our pursuit if it is void of Jesus Christ and His direction. It is not our will that we should ever be concerned with, but rather the will of our Eternal Father. We must come to this place in our life, just as Jesus Christ did His whole life, and follow daily the Heavenly Father's path that is straight and narrow.

If it is the answer to life that you seek, here it is... His name is Jesus Christ.

He is the Who, His sacrifice is the What, the When was 2,000 years ago on a Roman cross, Where was a place called Golgotha, and the Why.... Because He loved each and every single one of us.

If you haven't given your life to Jesus Christ, I urge you too, life is short, but our soul is eternal.

As you see these things coming upon the earth, do not fear for your temporary life here, but fear only He who has the power to take your eternal life away for not taking your salvation seriously.

There is still time to change your life for Jesus Christ.

HE is the only change worth believing in.

Stay alert!

The next rounds of talks are coming very soon, with Mitchell heading back to Israel this week. For those who understand Shavuot on the Jewish calender and Pentecost on the Christian calendar, beware; so far it appears that Mitchell will be in Israel over both the 6th of Sivan (19th of May) and the 23rd of May.

Ironically, Shavuot is meant in part to celebrate Israel becoming JEHOVAH'S nation as they received the Law per Moses on Mount Sinai. At the same time Jews and some Christians are celebrating this Biblical fact, Mitchell will be in Israel per the agenda of the POTUS once again challenging it. The next wave of Judgment is just upon the horizon and moving fast upon our shores.

God Bless, daniel
