Greetings!

I'm still on watch. Here's a few observations.

Smoke This!

I discovered that yesterday, on the weekly Shabbat, a radio show was broadcast claiming it was broadcast number 666 since it began. The show is hosted by Cigar Dave and is called by the irreverent title "Smoke This!" The show is dedicated to "the good life," which is basically hedonism. "Pursuit of or devotion to pleasure, especially to the pleasures of the senses." The good life is not this one we see today, lived in the pursuit of self pleasure, but is that life which is the Lord's, lived in the pursuit of His Father's good pleasure. The show is 13 years running, launched in July 1995. So, what does this mean? Is Cigar Dave the antichrist? I suspect not. However, those who have been paying attention have noted many such interesting sets of facts in this season. It's a sign, perhaps, that all our self-indulgent activities are going up in smoke. Their end will be as the beast, in the lake of fire.

Mark of the beast

Tomorrow, Monday April 28th, the implanted microchip we have long identified as the coming biblical "mark of the beast" will be available and marked directly to consumers. Given every reasoning of the carnal mind, there's no reason anyone wouldn't want what the chip will offer. It will become the access point to the beast system and the means to receive the life sustaining provision of the beast. Yet, the heavenly minded know it is a deadly trap. The promises are lies. It is guaranteed death. See the Business Wire news release for VeriChip Corporation here: VeriChip Corporation to Launch Direct-to-Consumer Campaign

Blood red moons and the Feasts of the Lord

Prophecy in the News video: The Feasts of the Lord J.R. Church and Gary Stearman, with Mark Biltz

Rare solar eclipses are apparently coming on the 1st of Av this year, and next year and the next. That day is in the middle of what is called the dark time, a season that has quite a history associated with it. This span of years is what I still believe to be the season called the great tribulation. The Blood red moon projection Mark makes into 2015 is interesting and perhaps important, yet I believe any projection forward in time from here on must be seen with a caveat. We have assumed consistency going forward as we have it going backward, excepting a small number of variant divine interventions. Yet, given the events of Revelation and many prophesies, when the earth reels to and fro like a drunkard, the rotation of the earth and procession of the equinox will be affected. When a big burning mountain kind of body falls to the earth there may be such a disturbance the rotation is also affected. I suspect this would alter the length of a day and set our present projections dramatically askew.

This verse has been looked at in a number of ways and I believe it means the length of a day will be affected, so the earth will spin faster, perhaps. Gravity might also become enhanced and thus mountains will fall, etc.

I think references to the sun and moon being darkened means the atmosphere will be filled with dark clouds of ash and smoke. This turns the sun and moon red too.

Earthquakes

Earthquakes in Reno, NV, are now increasing, following closely on the tail of those in the middle states, and Oregon. With regard to the Reno activity, too, none of the "experts" knows how to interpret what has been happening because we have seen nothing like it before. Accompanying resurrection there is always a significant earthquake. These quakes are acts of God, like they used to be called before our brains were scrubbed of this association. If this activity is not a sign of impending judgment, with attendant resurrection, well I'll personally be surprised! How many signs do we need before we put two and two together? If you hear a rumbling, and a sound like a rooster crowing...

Pope Benedict and more number signs

Regarding the Pope and his recent visit, the number 111 is another number of note. I noted in a recent email how Pope Benedict XVI is the Pope numbered 265, and that 2+6+5 = 13. According to the current Wikipedia.org entry for the famous Prophecy of the Popes, attributed to Saint Malachy, Benedict XVI is Pope number 111. This is generally accepted as the last in the line of Popes. (Apparently, most scholars believe the one numbered 112 was added at a later date.) The key day for his visit I consider to be April 20. If you count from the beginning of the year, it is day 111. It was the 13th day of the first month on the Lord's calendar, but the Satanic calendar corresponds to the Gregorian calendar, so consider that calendar also and that day was number 111. It corresponds as well to the April 19 and 20 holy day season called the "bloody sacrifice to the beast. On that very day he visited Ground Zero in NYC and offered a blessing and prayer for the dead. Yes, the dead. Ground Zero is where the World Trade Center towers stood. The day they were brought to a collapse is etched in all our minds, as 911, September 11, 2001. If you count from there to the end of the year, there were 111 days. It closes the circle, you see. See this Cutting Edge SPECIAL NEWS ALERT and scroll down a little to what is today item III, where you see the graphic of the DVD.

Was the lawless one baptized on that day? I won't say yes, and I won't say no. What does the Lord say to you about it? Watch and pray.

A look back one cycle in time

Yesterday, I found some pages of interest from 2001, seven years ago. They relate to today, being of the previous round of watching, from this point the previous Shemittah. They are from a copy of my web site I had cloned and put online in another location. It must be the Lord's provision that it remains untouched since that time, so it's a historical snapshot. You might find them of interest.
