World Calamities & Tribulation



WORLD CALAMITIES AND TRIBULATION

As has been stated on several occasions, there will be no 7 year tribulation period as some dispensational literalists claim is represented by the events contained in the Revelation.  Three and one-half prophetic years should not be calculated as 1260 literal days but rather as 1260 years.  The first five chapters of the Revelation can be taken somewhat literally, although they represent metaphoric details signifying a basic literal occurrence that will happen on the earth or in the mental actions of God.

Chapter six through the destruction of Mystery, Babylon have some literal aspects as envisioned by John although the descriptions are mostly metaphoric and symbolic and these particular events are currently taking place.  The modern “Kings of the East” which have been identified as primarily Russia and China are abolishing the USG’s petrol dollar scheme which is the main reason for the attitudes of the neocon Congress and the deep state which is currently including Russian sanctions, Chinese tariffs, talk of destroying North Korea, and Navy vessels invading the space of Chinese islands in the China Sea.

Although the Revelation does not define tribulation in the manner of Scofield, dispensational, pre-trib rapture adherents, there will be tribulation prior to the return of Christ which was also spoken of by Jesus.

Matthew 24:29 YLT  `And immediately after the tribulation of those days, ……..

It is my understanding and belief, as well as the belief of many other individuals, that we are currently in those days just prior to the beginning of the Kingdom of God.  The currency revamping and economic actions realized by mainly Russia and China, with many other countries joining the group, will soon reorganize the currency and economic structure around the planet.  This will place the USA at a disadvantage and bring the country more in line with the rest of the world.  There will most likely be financial tribulation within the USA, and perhaps in other parts of the world, when the petrol dollar collapses until the Jubilee that will be proclaimed at the advent of the Kingdom of God.

We are currently witnessing flooding in places where there has only occasionally been a flood.  Other places are incurring severe droughts and other areas early snowfalls.  Even though US government officials deny it, there appears to be earthquakes and volcanic eruptions increasing in number and magnitude.

Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places;

There are currently various wars.  Most fomented by the Zionists stooges in the USG for the so-called “greater Israel” project.  It has been widely reported by Veteran’s Today claiming the US military is supporting Daesh/Isil terrorists in Syria and Iraq.  There is no reason for the US military to be in Syria, Iraq, or Afghanistan other than fighting for the “greater Israel” project.  God may be allowing this action in order to place someone in a position to destroy Jerusalem and Israel, perhaps with an atomic bomb.

Various pestilences or plagues are occurring:  bubonic plague in Madagascar and New Mexico; a hepatitis outbreak in San Diego; and many others.

Volcanoes and Earthquakes

The Pacific “Ring of Fire” is living up to its name.

From Zero Hedge
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-10-13/wave-eruptions-along-pacific-ring-fire-leave-10000s-displaced

The 450 or so volcanoes that make up the ring outline have been unusually active this year, sparking evacuations on the Indonesian island of Bali and on the tiny island nation of Vanuatu.

Parts of southwestern Japan, meanwhile, have been shaken by a series of earthquakes, unsettling the local population, in an area where the massive Pacific Plate grinds against other plates that form the Earth’s crust, creating a 25,000-mile zone where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are unusually common.
Three volcanos have either erupted, or are showing signs of an imminent eruption, across the region, according to a roundup published by the Associated Press.

As if the Ring of Fire wasn’t doing enough to inspire febrile visions of an apocalyptic calamity, scientists are warning that supervolcanos in Italy and the US could be headed for eruptions that would register as by far the most destructive in modern human history.

Volcanos, hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes – natural disasters are seemingly happening everywhere at once.  

Wildfires
Horror Of California Wildfires
From Huffington Post:

Wildfires have wrought almost unimaginable destruction this week across Northern California, where more than 8,000 firefighters are currently battling 21 blazes that have so far devastated 191,437 acres, killed at least 23 people and consumed around 3,500 buildings.

More fires around the world


Huge blazes are currently burning in North America, South America, Canada, Russia and across Europe.
Nevada is having it’s worst fire season in 15 years, whilst Montana has already used up it’s fire fighting budget for the year.

Fires are scorching British Columbia north of the border in what locals are calling the worst wildfire season since 1958. Firefighters from across the globe have headed to B.C. to help the effort. The smoke from the fires is billowing over the border to Seattle, where temps are at record breaking highs and the region is unnaturally dry.

Southern Europe, there have been 677 blazes so far, and in particular Italy and Romania are experiencing three times the normal amount of summer wildfires. And in June, 60 people died over the course of one weekend in Portugal as a result of wildfires.  Earlier this year, Ireland, a country more associated with rain, battled with fires due to 75% less rainfall. And even Greenland is currently battling a ‘sizeable wildfire’ according to NASA.

Sexual Abuse, Pedophilia, and Sodomy

For a while one could read of a pedophile network being caught and shut down.  Recently the case of various Hollywood actresses accusing Harvey Weinstein of rape and sexual abuse has been in the news.  Corey Feldman has accused Hollywood bigwigs of pedophilia and sodomy some time ago and very few took him seriously.

The article below of Rose McGowan accusing Harvey Weinstein of rape is most likely true but there are some interesting side effects.  McGowan is or has been known as a movie sex symbol.  Her 1998 MTV VMAs dress consisted of a thong bikini covered by a fishnet type dress where her entire body was visible except for her vagina.  It appears that if one does not want to be treated like a whore then one should not dress and act as a whore.

Other perverts have been named such as Ben Affleck, the future Batman, is now known as the Buttman.  Other Hwood moguls have been mentioned and I am certain even more will be pointed out in the near future.

Rose McGowan against the Khazarian pedophile, orgiastic gangsters in Hollywood
By Jonas E. Alexis on Veterans Today

Film and cultural historian Robert Sklar writes that before 1910, “The movies were as completely in the hands of respectable, established Anglo-Saxon Protestant Americans as they were ever to be.”[3] Although there were many Jews in Hollywood before that period, they did not have much influence in the film industry.
All of that changed, though, starting in the 1920s and ‘30s and continuing through the 1970s. Movies during that era “called into question sexual propriety, social decorum and the institutions of law and order.”

Once the Legend of Decency was out of the equation, Hollywood began to unleash pornographic films such as Deep Throat (1972). And since pornography is an essentially Jewish business, it was no coincidence that Jewish revolutionaries attacked every single moral law in America in order to produce filth as “art.”

In short, Hollywood has been operating under the principle that morality is a relic of the past. Hollywood actors and actresses have never challenged that principle. In fact, the very same people who are currently condemning Harvey Weinstein were producing movies which put them on Weinstein’s ideological platform.

Russian MP Seeks Ban on Porn Sites


Russian MP Vitaly Milonov, best known as the main sponsor of the ban on promoting “non-traditional” sex to minors, has asked the Communications Ministry to develop a new age verification system for internet users and ban pornography sites that refuse to use it.

The lawmaker also proposed blocking access to all free pornography sites in Russia before an effective mechanism of age verification is developed and implemented.

Milonov warned that current laws fail to prevent underage internet users from visiting websites with erotic or pornographic content, and that such content can cause psychological damage to children. 

Various Flood News (any many more than indicated here)

Worst floods in years hit Vietnam


The death toll caused by the latest round of severe flooding across central and northern Vietnam has risen to 54 and the number of missing to 39, country’s disaster agency said Friday, October 13. This is the fourth wave of severe flooding to hit Vietnam in several months and the end of the misery is still not over as another storm is on the way and expected to hit Vietnam’s central regions late October 16 or
early on the 17th (UTC).

Heavy rain in northern England caused flooding in parts of the county of Cumbria.
The Environment Agency said that some areas recorded 211 mm of rain in 24 hours. The Environment Agency issued 18 flood alerts and eight flood warnings.

Severe weather including strong winds, hail and heavy rain, have left at least 8 people dead and caused severe damage in KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa over the last 2 days.

Central America:  As of 09 October the number of casualties blamed on Tropical Storm Nate rose to at least 28 and with 14 people reportedly missing. Fatalities were reported in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala and Panama.

China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs (MCA) reported earlier this week that 6 provinces of the country have been affected by storms and severe weather since 01 October.

Flooding, landslides and rain damage has been reported in the provinces of Anhui, Henan, Hubei, Chongqing, Sichuan and Shaanxi. As of 09 October, 15 people had died in Chongqing, 4 in Hubei and 4 in Shaanxi.

More than 5,200 homes have been destroyed and around 35,000 people have been displaced. A further 24,000 have been damaged.

News About Russia
The following article is not about an earthquake.  It concerns the various ways that Russia, one of the modern “kings of the east” is demolishing the petrol dollar among other Mystery, Babylon issues.

Tectonic Global Shifts From Russia This Friday the 13th

By Paul Goncharoff appearing on Russia Insider


Much has happened here in Russia in these first 13 days of October. King Salman of Saudi Arabia made his first official visit to the Kremlin. A number of take-a-way’s happened because of the visit, one of the more apparent is the understanding that Russia has begun to displace the United States as the go-to power broker politically and militarily in the Middle Eastern neighborhood, or as some call it the Arc of Evil.

Ever since the Nixon era birth of the Petrodollar and the US-Saudi umbrella defense quid-pro-quo the Saudi’s were and are a major and consistent client for US weapons systems.  As relationships begin to slowly change it is not coincidental this meeting was also to purchase a specific Russian weapons system more advanced than the United States equivalent, and that can defend against its missiles. This may be a logical response to the amount of US-made missiles available to various Middle East countries that may pose a threat. The new relationship between the Saudi’s and Russia is also viewed as positive by Israel, who as the saying goes - is Russia’s "sub-rosa ally" in the Middle East.

While Russia is interested in this new relationship with Saudi Arabia, it has no wish or reason to disregard Iran, a long term commercial partner. The interests shared between Russia and Iran are firm in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Russia will not risk her standing in these regions by any overwhelming desire to cuddle with Saudi Arabia. In many ways the role of bridge between Sunni and Shiite states stretching from the Central Asian region through to the Greater Middle East is one where the interests of many local players today hinge on Russia more than ever.

Taking this a large step further, and it involves the dollar, Saudi Arabia’s biggest trading partner is now China. The Chinese have been absorbing US treasuries, and with them, US inflationary/disinflationary volatility for years. All the world’s emerging markets have been on a rollicking ride with the US dollar. Eventually, probably rather soon, players like China and the Saudis will grow tired of this ride. The Russians are already there, and steps have already been taken to eventually de-dollarize trade with China as well as Saudi Arabia (where the 1974 petrodollar was born), and with it the One Belt One Road group of countries stretching from India throughout Eurasia and the Middle East.

With current stresses in relationships within NATO, like Turkey, the US could find itself at an inflection point with regard to several traditional allies, which in turn may well nudge trade contracting away from the dollar in consequence. When we think of NATO, it largely mirrors member states of the EU, and that entity is not having a stress free time of late. There are the frictions of Spain vs. Catalonia and Basque, Italy where strains exist between Padania and Mezzogiorno, France with Corsica, and of course, Greece keeps simmering away. The UK Brexit event is also in ongoing process and has its support and opposition forces sniping and bickering in Brussels. Then there are the US led economic sanctions against Russia, which have led to a world of economic pain in the EU, while not affecting the US or its dollar trade in the least, nor have sanctions worked to bring Russia to “heel”, or Ukraine to “democracy”. They have instead succeeded in enabling further more detailed questioning of the hegemony of the US dollar especially as it is so closely tied to US mandated unipolar political and economic behavior not necessarily in the interests of independent sovereign nations or their indigenous peoples.

Traditional US diplomatic and military ties have encouraged America’s allies to hold dollars. States with their own nuclear arsenals tend to hold fewer dollars than countries that depend on the US for their security. Being in a military alliance with a reserve-currency-issuing country has been said enhances the foreign exchange reserves held in that currency (US Dollar) by roughly 30 percentage points. The converse than indicates that the share of reserves held in dollars would fall appreciably should such ties erode. The current political, military and diplomatic overtures from Washington have not been well received in several parts of the planet. From North Korea, to Venezuela, and from China, and Russia and even NATO ally Turkey. There seems to be an unthinking autopilot switched on as the US diplomatic front not only aims its traditionally historic vitriol at Russia and China, but at America’s allies as well, even neighboring NAFTA participants, not to mention Central or Latin America.

The world is looking for alternatives to the dollar for several reasons; one of them is to get out from under the influence of the US and its brand of globalized vision. Today we can see the trend starting from the large oil producing nations to countries who make significant exports; they are slowing, even stopping their accumulation of US debt securities. For instance when China and Russia find alternatives for their bilateral trading activity, they will require far fewer dollars. The same applies to European countries, which have adopted the euro since 1999. The elephant in the room is US debt and its historical reliance and ability to QE (print money) as resolution to infinity, or until others refuse to play that game any longer. That and mandating behavior to align with US preferences and unipolar interests.

Some nations have attempted in the past to escape the dollar hegemony, but failed largely due to prompt US action. One example was Iraq's former dictator Saddam Hussein who wanted to sell Iraqi oil for euros; another was Libya's Muammar al-Gaddafi who planned to issue a pan-African gold currency. Both attempts would have resulted in tiny bites at the dollars dominance. Today the man drivers of de-dollarization are Moscow and Beijing. Both the Russians and the Chinese have openly supported the key role of gold in this transition from the dollar. The process of moving away from the dollar, originally initiated in Europe and today taken up by China and Russia can no longer be stopped. Despite the fact that it is Friday the 13th, I doubt the demise of the almighty dollar will happen today, but the trend is set, and in time, multi-polar currencies will occupy key seats at the world economic table. Probably with gold as a “supra-national” reserve asset. We will see how this unwinds down the road, but one thing is certain – we are living in an era of tectonic geopolitical and economic shifts that are tailor made for any Friday the 13th.

Earthquakes, Economics, & Politics



EARTHQUAKES, ECONOMICS, & POLITICS

To borrow a phrase from the title of an old rock tune by Jerry Lee Lewis, There will soon be a “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On”.  The majority of the shaking will involve economics and politics but there may be a physical shaking involving earthquakes. 

In my opinion, the number of earthquakes and volcanos has been increasing over the past few years.  There are some pundits claiming there is no increase – it is the same as it has been for many years, it is merely the reporting that has been emphasized and it appears there are more earthquakes and volcanoes.

If the reader has been following my Revelation comments, it should be known the understanding I have discovered to be the most logical is the historical prophetic interpretation found in the writings of Dr. Stephen Jones as one example.  For many years I have studied and pondered the writings of Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye, John Walvoord, Peter Goodgame, Patrick Heron, Timothy McHyde, Chris White, and some others of lesser value.  I initially rejected the historical approach, but a few rereads later convinced me of its veracity.  What was once Revelation prophecy is now history except for the collapse of the Mystery, Babylon system which appears, from most news reports, to be occurring at the present.

Revelation Earthquakes
Earthquakes are mentioned often in the Revelation and they should be considered as metaphoric symbolism of an event which emotionally or politically shakes the people and nations. Natural disasters, when they occur, may also foreshadow great political changes or economic as of the present.  As an example, the earthquake presented by the sixth seal would practically destroy all earthly life and all building structures if it was not referring to an invasion of an outside force resulting in political upheaval. 

Revelation 6:12-14 NET  Then I looked when the Lamb opened the sixth seal, and a huge earthquake took place; the sun became as black as sackcloth made of hair, and the full moon became blood red;  (13)  and the stars in the sky fell to the earth like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when shaken by a fierce wind.  (14)  The sky was split apart like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

A literal understanding of the sixth seal would present an earth shattering catastrophe.  If literal, the signs in the heavens:  sun, moon, stars and the sky, would portend an invasion of the solar system by perhaps the so-called planet X.  The earthquake moves every mountain and island.  If this is worldwide then perhaps the entire crust of the earth spins the opposite direction of the inner earth or mantle.  Everything would surely be destroyed and there would be little need for the remainder of the Revelation.

The Fall of Babylon
Revelation 16:18-20 speaks of the destruction of Babylon with a description that is very similar to, but greater than, the sixth seal.  A great earthquake divides the city of Babylon (which is not an actual city but a metaphoric description of the system in general) into three parts.  This earthquake is also explained as “unequaled since humanity has been on the earth, so tremendous was that earthquake NET”.  This description signifies the utter chaos that will enfold the world, particularly the Western nations, when this economic and political shaking takes place.

Revelation 16:18-20 KJV  And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.  (19)  And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.  (20)  And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

Although there may be an actual earthquake, since God may want to emphasize this shaking, this upheaval is describing the monetary and economic conflagration of the majority of the world, particularly Europe and the USA.  The effect on China is questionably, but Russia appears to have isolated themselves from the Rothschild banking system and the amount of debt accumulation.  This scripture is prophesying the economic and political shaking of many peoples and nations.  Verse 19 states the cities of the nations fall since many USA cities are near bankruptcy.  Every island flees signaling that even small countries will be affected.  The elite, including many politicians, will be relieved of their world and national control as the mountains are said to disappear or be leveled. 

A similar end-times prophecy can be found in Haggai 2:6-7.

Haggai 2:6-9 NET  Moreover, the LORD who rules over all says: 'In just a little while I will once again shake the sky and the earth, the sea and the dry ground.  (7)  I will also shake up all the nations, and they will offer their treasures; then I will fill this temple with glory,'says the LORD who rules over all. 

(8)  'The silver and gold will be mine,'says the LORD who rules over all.  (9)  'The future splendor of this temple will be greater than that of former times,' the LORD who rules over all declares, 'and in this place I will give peace.' "

The nations will be shaken and the money of the bankers and elites (the top 1%) will be taken from them and given for the benefit of the Temple of the Lord.  Recall the Glory of the Lord removed Himself from the temple built by Solomon and never inhabited the temple built by Ezra and modernized by Herod.  The Temple of God (the Holy Spirit) is now residing within the body of every Christian believer.

The book of Hebrews quotes a section of the Haggai prophecy and adds a certain short explanation

Hebrews 12:26-29 NET  Then his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "I will once more shake not only the earth but heaven too."  (27)  Now this phrase "once more" indicates the removal of what is shaken, that is, of created things, so that what is unshaken may remain.  (28)  So since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us give thanks, and through this let us offer worship pleasing to God in devotion and awe.  (29)  For our God is indeed a devouring fire.

Certain things will be shaken i.e. removed from usefulness or value.  This may include the authority of the elites and political leaders and the removal of monetary debt of nations instigated by the world banking system.  One viewpoint is that an actual physical earthquake, wherever it occurs, will be so destructive and expensive that it will cause hyper-inflation and bring about massive political change as well. This actual earthquake has been considered (NOT prophesied) to occur along the USA west coast.  If so, it would be a wake up call for the far left liberal snowflakes.  In the aftermath, Mystery Babylon will collapse and the Kingdom of God will begin to be established.

A Prediction or an Astute Observation?
One Bible teacher, who lived in Washington State for a while, concluded that Washington State is the spiritual headquarters for Washington D.C. (or serves as a telegraph of future events).  Events that occur in King County, Washington, where Seattle is located, are future signs of what is happening, or will happen, in Washington D.C.  About 60 miles north of Seattle is a town actually named, Mount Vernon, which is next to Martha Washington Creek.  Events happening in Mount Vernon, Washington appear to reveal the occurrences that are happening or will happen in the White House in Washington D.C.  It appears that the Pacific Northwest could be in for a great shaking, such as an earthquake, as a sign of things soon to come in Washington D.C.

It is quite likely we could see a sequence of events possibly emerge in 2017.  The first two events may occur in the state of Washington with a massive actual earthquake, followed by actual volcanos shaking “the sea also and the dry land” as of Haggai 2:6.   This would possibly be a sign of war i.e. the climactic war between Babylon and the Kingdom of God.

The Foundation of the Crisis
There was a great earthquake that occurred when Jesus was crucified at Passover (Matthew 27:51) and again when He was raised from the dead (Matthew 28:2). If we see a quake or two in 2017, these events in Matthew may indicate the timing for such an event as indicated above.

The Federal Reserve recently raised interest rates another .25% to .75%. This may not seem like a lot, but it is enough to begin eroding the value of all those zero-percent bonds that have been sold in the past 9 years in the amount of ten trillion dollars.

As long as the Federal Reserve Act remains in force, it is estimated the national debt will continue to double with every president. The economy needs money to function, and borrowing (from the Federal Reserve) is the only way to create money and put it into circulation. Either the people themselves or the government is forced to borrow, because if the borrowing stops, we have a liquidity crunch, and immediately go into a depression. The Babylonian system is based on the creation of fiat debt-money.

The problem is that the people themselves have been paying off their ongoing debts faster than they are borrowing for new debts. That means the government must make up the difference or send the country into a depression. Unlike in past years, the people can now no longer afford to borrow. They have reached their debt limit as a whole.

Bonds are debt notes. When the government borrows money, which is only done through the Federal Reserve, they give their creditors bonds in return.  A bond puts the government into debt.  Bonds are evidence of the bondage that the USA is under. The US government, the USA in general, and/or New York City is not Mystery Babylon, as some prophecy teachers have claimed. Mystery, Babylon is worldwide, or at least Western World wide.  The debtor is a servant (slave) of the lender.  The US government is the slave of Mystery Babylon which in our case is the Federal Reserve.  Europe is the slave of Rothschild International banks, which are similar to the USA’s Federal Reserve.  Our debt is created through borrowing money from the Federal Reserve rather than the USA government printing their own money as authorized in the Constitution.  Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy attempted to create real government money and they were assassinated.  Andrew Jackson was totally opposed to the national banking system of his day, and Jackson is highly admired by President Donald Trump.
