The Final Fortnight

"Damascus will cease from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap."     _{- Isaiah 17:1}

March 18, 2014 and probably my last "Final Fortnight" update.  Putin is pounding on the war drums; Obama is probably hiding under his desk.  Torah Calendar points to transition between March and April and my last, best guess for the beginning of Daniel's 70th week and the confirmation of the covenant is Friday, April 11th.  So assuming some time must transpire between the rapture, sudden destruction, a cease-fire and the confirmation (and also that spring is when kings go to war), I think Monday, March 31 would be an optimal time for a harpazo event.  That's a fortnight from now.  If we're still here and it's more of the same on April 12th, I will probably be forced to admit I am not an eschatologist to be taken seriously.  I will probably keep the radio program going if I have something to say, and I will go back to Babylon if led, to get a "regular" job.  I will do nothing that will take me out of the Lord's will, but it would seem at that point that being God's worst guesser isn't the ministry I'm called to pursue.  If the signs don't point to Nisan 11, I'm apparently not smart enough to figure out what the signs DO indicate.  However:  it's not April 12th yet.

January 7, 2014 and who'd a thunk it??  Maybe Pastor Riley, who thinks the 2013 rapture window will remain open until midnight six days hence.  Allegedly a dramatic increase in radiation hazard in California, and the DHS ordered 14 million doses of Potassium Iodide to counter a radiation threat, though they didn't specify "where."  Palestinian officials insist they won't budge on the "peace negotiations" timeline, and we're 93 days from Nisan 10.  "Sudden Destruction" seems likely on several fronts but I expect major (planned) disaster in the U.S. before the major global event.  It seems reasonable to expect that the belligerents in the Middle East will take advantage of the situation if the U.S. is taken out of the picture.

December 14, 2013 and the tradition continues.  Now "in the window" and actually well within the two-week zone.  Since my last update, concern over Damascus has faded, concern over sodomite "marriage" also seems to have an increasing "ho-hum" factor, people have gotten used to being lied to, and "Obama-Care" is just another reason for most to exercise their impotence, or "howl at the moon" while being plundered.  Still no discernable repentance; maybe tomorrow (if tomorrow there be) I will call a few area churches and find out what's being preached.

I mentioned Asherah Poles last time around; of course, "Christmas" has its own Asherah traditions.  Even most "Christians" haven't thought this one through.  For those left behind, maybe you can burn 'em if the grid goes down. 

Yule seems to be a "minor" satanic observance, but some strange things going on in South Africa these days, and also in Los Angeles.  Remains to be seen if there is end-times significance.  Pastor Riley expects three days of darkness and I don't want to kick his beehive by challenging it.  And, of course, he could be right.  What the dark side has planned for after the Bride checks out might be too terrifying if rolled out in broad daylight.  Again, for those of you left behind, it's gonna be a strong delusion - a demonic choir conducted by the Old Nick himself.  Have a nice day.

Any time between now and the 18th seems consistent with the current observable pattern.  J.R. Church, F.M. Riley and no doubt a few others believe 2013 is the year of the rapture.  If we're still here on January 1, I'd suggest the final window closes in April, probably Nisan 15 or so.  But by then, I fully expect that the Ezekiel promise: "then they shall know that I am the LORD" will be unquestionably fulfilled.  As I write, I expect a rapture this week, though as yet no "feelin' in my bones."  I am not announcing anything to my family because "they have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them." (see Luke 16:29)

This has become a tradition of sorts.  Once again, two weeks from a very promising date (though many such dates have come and gone), and once again I write.  As I pointed out on my blog a while ago, God is a Mathematician, and His complexity is orders of magnitude beyond us.  It seems likely, in retrospect, that this particular enigma has many solutions that fit the data, but obviously, there can only be one correct answer.  The list of possible solutions is growing shorter.

Thursday, May 9, 2013 is the next day of particular promise.  We still see ongoing cultural collapse, with New Zealand and France both sanctioning "homosexual marriage."  The "final Pope" appears to be in position, the first Jesuit Pontiff.  Economic collapse is now "business as usual" with the amount of indebtedness reaching levels that are incomprehensible.  Frightening technological advances make evil highly leverageable and we can only imagine how much genetic tinkering is going on.  Most seriously, NONE of this has stirred a spirit of repentance to any visible degree.

May Day has historically been a big day for Asherah Poles and associated pagan festivities.  We're also anticipating a peak in seismic activity, and there's some buzz (probably unwarranted) about a nuclear event in Los Angeles.  Noise from North Korea has largely subsided, as well as saber-rattling from Iran.  But the prophecies of David Wilkerson seem more likely of immediate fulfillment - any day now - and I have no doubt that our foreign enemies will take advantage of it if they can.  U.S. civil government is, I believe, highly fractured.  Satan is no doubt behind the scenes playing one faction against another, and I suspect that at the end of the day, we will see regional government much like gang wars, with each group trying to defend its turf and its legitimacy.

Beneath it all, of course, are the Everlasting Arms.  If the rapture occurs on May 9th, I won't be saying "I told you so" to anybody because, frankly, it's no more promising than a number of dates that have already come and gone.  But if this turns out to be "IT" - best wishes to all who are left behind.  The fulness of the Gentiles will have come in, and God will send a strong delusion that those left behind who rejected the Truth will whole-heartedly embrace The Lie, which I believe will be articulated most persuasively by demons posing as interplanetary visitors.  A MAJOR paradigm shift is in the very near future.

If May 9th comes and goes, I will probably plug on with The Anakypto Forum — at least until the end of June (four years; I like round numbers).  After that: who knows?  Maybe I'll hang it up and get a "regular job."  Then again ... maybe not.

(Note:   This was updated on October 8^th.  I am anticipating the harpazo or "rapture" any time now.

I am not a prophet.  I'm watching the signs and watching the trends and doing my best to see a coherent picture.  It's the best I can do, and I believe it's what God wants me to do. 

And not just me.  I still strongly suspect that most Christians are satisfied with living their lives as comfortably as possible and doing church on Sundays.  I will let God be the judge of that, but I see less passion for holiness, for separation from the culture, and for reconciliation with God and others than I would expect.  I don't know how much passion for the Word of God is really here.  We'll find out soon enough.

The just shall live by faith.  We'll find out about that, too — when the bad guys take our comforts and our worldly "security" away and we're left with nothing but faith.  Perhaps they will offer to give us our toys and comforts back if we will just renounce Christ and swear allegiance to their New World Order.  That also remains to be seen, and I won't speculate.  It seems just as likely that they will want to reduce the world's population to a more "manageable" level and that they will have more interest in our demise than in our loyalty.

The most likely events to transpire next will include a war on American soil, an emerging world leader, a "peace" that will last about 3 1/2 years — enforced by a draconian police state — and a lot of persecution of Jews, nominal Christians, and members of the "patriot community."  I expect God's crushing judgment against our land will trump the political aspirations of the current regime.  Mandatory vaccines and socialized medicine will simply be plans that were never completed.

If you are surprised, it's because you haven't been paying attention.

If I was right concerning the rapture, you might want to consider the possibility that I am also right concerning the war that will begin in the very near future.  This is known in scripture as the first war of Gog and Magog and is described in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39.  "Cliff's Notes" version here. 

YOUR eternal destiny is in the balance.  Oprah cannot help you.  The latest episodes of "Dancing With The Stars" and "NCIS" cannot prepare you.  Turn off the TV and open your Bible.  Get on your face and repent.

The coastlands will probably not be the safest areas.  Unfortunately, the middle of the country won't be safe, either.  There is a definite possibility that Raleigh will become "beachfront property" in the very near future.  Much east coast real estate, from South Carolina to Florida, may be under water.  California, I believe, will have a similar fate.  Western North Carolina will probably be safer, as will Tennessee.  Racine will be safer than Raleigh for the short term, but winter of 2009-10 may be brutal for those not having "off the grid" winterized homes.

Still, the major problems are spiritual.  NOW is the time to begin saturating yourself in scripture, and committing serious time to prayer.  The Lord will still hear those who call on Him, and He will answer.  But there can be no delay.  I'm not telling you to pack the car and high-tail it anywhere, but you should be ready to do so and, if the Lord leads, you should obey PROMPTLY. 

The rules have changed.  The "powers that be" are in active rebellion against the Lord.  Every follower of Jesus Christ on earth is now an "enemy of the State" and will be treated accordingly.  Be faithful unto death, and Jesus Christ will give you the crown of life.
