Is it possible for world chaos to increase?  Yes, it is very possible and most likely it will greatly increase.  It is still my belief and opinion the Revelation is a historical prophecy concerning the evolution of the Church.  We are currently in:  the destruction of Mystery, Babylon; the possible destruction of Jerusalem; and possibly within the final bowls of God’s wrath contained in Revelation 16 (just my opinion and not necessarily a message from God).

Although the metaphoric language of the bowls of wrath are not obvious (at least to me) and their purpose has not been revealed in real time, it can be said that verse 16:6 is the synopsis of world events happening now.  I suspect the chaos and madness of this God-rejecting world will increase exponentially prior to its submission to God.

Revelation 16:6 NET  because they poured out the blood of your saints and prophets, so you have given them blood to drink. They got what they deserved!"

The WalMart Free-For-All

On May 5, 2017 a mob of people in Mexico came to the conclusion there was not enough security to stop them from looting a WalMart.

America’s ‘population hubs’ will likely explode with violence, looting and the total breakdown of law and order as resources become next to impossible to get and the masses suddenly realize the government isn’t coming to save them.

Whether that be via total collapse, WW3 coming home to roost upon US soil or a ‘grid event’ that leaves tens to hundreds of millions either without power or access to the money in their bank accounts, the video directly below from a WalMart in Mexico gives us a very small taste of what that world without law and order can quickly devolve into.

Showing what happens when suddenly ‘lawless people’ realize that there aren’t enough security guards in a WalMart store to stop them, we witness the kind of all-out ‘free for all’ that we’ll likely see in a collapse event, though the smart people would be carrying out food, toilet paper and other necessities instead of flat screen TV’s. And in an all-out SHTF event, we’d expect that the people will likely be fighting with each other for the few remaining resources

Puerto Rico files for bankruptcy
May 08, 2017 by Stephen Jones

Puerto Rico is the home address for both THE UNITED STATES, INC and the IRS. Its Chapter 9 bankruptcy filing on May 3, 2017 might have huge legal implications for modern Babylon. The territory essentially defaulted on $74 billion of debt a year earlier. However, the courts gave Puerto Rico a year in which to come up with the money or a plan. Of this, $13 billion is in subprime mortgages. The rest is in high-interest rate bonds.

The government refused to bail out Puerto Rico, partly because of the enormous amount of debt, and partly because if they did, they would have to do the same for all of the other bankrupt states like Michigan, Illinois, and California. So nothing happened in the past year, and finally, bankruptcy was filed on May 3.

There are many hedge funds, mutual funds, and banks that hold Puerto Rico’s bonds, because Congress made them tax-free. Then when the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates to virtual zero, many turned to Puerto Rico’s bonds in the search for a greater return on investment. A default was hardly considered, because Puerto Rico’s constitution forbids it to default on its debt! The problem is that this constitutional requirement does not put any money into its coffers, nor does it give them the ability to pay off debt. If anything, it only made it necessary to get a bailout from the US Congress. But Congress has refused to do this in the past year.

When this bankruptcy is finally settled by the courts, they will find themselves losing millions and billions of dollars. There is little doubt that some of these companies will experience serious losses. So a chain reaction is likely later this year and next.

It is not yet clear how this bankruptcy will affect other things in the future, but because this is 2017, it probably is part of the general overthrow of Babylon that should begin by the end of this year. How big a role it will take depends on the decision of the bankruptcy court. But since Puerto Rico has no money to pay off its debts, and it is not likely that Congress will bail them out, the biggest losers will be those who hold the bonds, as well as the pensioners.

Colossal Pedophile Ring Busted
900 Arrests, 300 Kids Saved
Corporate Media Ignores It  
Jay Syrmopoulos     May 9, 2017

Washington, D.C. – After a nearly two-year investigation, 870 suspected pedophiles have been arrested across the world, and least 259 sexually abused children have been identified in the wake of major underground online global pedophilia network being taken down, according to the FBI and European authorities.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Europol announced the arrests on Friday, only days after a court sentenced Florida-based Steven Chase, founder of the so-called Playpen pedophilia network, to 30 years in prison.

The arrest of Chase in December 2014 was the impetus for a global probe into the users of the members-only forum, which culminated in the nearly 900 arrests.

Unsurprisingly, this massive pedophile bust has failed to crack the pervasive US media censorship regime, as not a single mainstream corporate media source in the United States has reported on this story.

Pedophilia in high places is hard to prosecute
May 06, 2017   Stephen Jones

There are very extensive pedophilia organizations catering to the rich and powerful—and even to church officials—around the world. But it is very difficult to prosecute these people when they get caught into their crimes, because they are too powerful, and there are simply too many of them. They control the justice department and the police departments either through threats or bribery.

This perversion of justice is also supported by the fact that most people cannot conceive of such evil existing in their own government. But in the end, nothing will remain hidden. It may be a good idea to prepare yourself psychologically and spiritually for the coming shock wave.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.     https://archive.is/1Scq

Former CIA director and Cercle member William Colby giving advice to his friend senator John DeCamp, urging to quit his investigations into the Franklin child abuse affair and to write a book about his experiences (The Franklin Coverup, 2nd edition, foreword). 

"What you have to understand, John, is that sometimes there are forces and events too big, too powerful, with so much at stake for other people or institutions, that you cannot do anything about them, no matter how evil or wrong they are and no matter how dedicated or sincere you are or how much evidence you have. This is simply one of the hard facts of life you have to face."


Global Collapse: Children Are Literally Starving To Death In Venezuela And Yemen   By Michael Snyder, on May 5th, 2017

Venezuela and Yemen were both once very prosperous nations, but now parents are literally watching their children starve to death as the economies of both nations continue to utterly collapse.  Just like so many here in the United States, most of those living in Venezuela and Yemen would have called you completely crazy if you would have warned them that this was going to happen five years ago.  In particular, Venezuela has more proven oil reserves than almost anyone else on the planet, and so to most of their citizens it was unimaginable that things could ever get this bad.  But it has happened, and the collapse that has already begun in parts of South America, Africa and the Middle East will soon spread elsewhere.

When I said that children are literally starving to death in Venezuela, I was not exaggerating one bit. 

The primary cause of the crisis in Yemen is a nightmarish civil war that is not going to end any time soon.

And most Americans don’t realize this, but the U.S. military has contributed to the civil war by conducting airstrikes.  It is essentially a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and both sides are absolutely determined to win.

So the suffering in Yemen is only going to intensify, and already a child under the age of five is dying every five minutes

Thousands Flee Chicago
For Safer Areas Of The Country As America’s Third Largest City Becomes A Gang-Infested Wasteland

Did you know that the number of murders increased by almost 60 percent in the city of Chicago last year?  And as you will see below, this year gang violence in the Windy City has risen to a new level of viciousness.  A staggering 9.5 million people live in the Chicago metropolitan area, and it was once known primarily for great pizza, bitter cold and some of the best sports fans on the entire planet.  But now the number one thing that comes to mind for many when they think about the city of Chicago is gang violence.  As it becomes clear that things are not going to turn around any time soon, thousands of residents are leaving the city for safer areas of the nation.  In fact, Cook County lost more people than any other county in America last year by a very wide margin.

When your murder rate goes up by double digits in a single year, you have got a problem.


The Ronald Bernard story
May 09, 2017

English voice-over version: 39-minute video

Original Dutch version with English subtitles:

Bernard’s story tells how he was recruited into the murky world of “legal” money laundering that is widespread among the banking cartels. When recruited, he was told that he would have to put his conscience into a deep freeze. He did not realize just how far he would have to go to move up in that world.

Eventually, he moved up into management and then discovered that it also involved outright Satanism. He finally left that business after being asked to sacrifice children. He could not do this, and so he got out.

This is what we are up against in our spiritual warfare against Mystery Babylon. Human sacrifice did not end in biblical times. It is alive and well, being practiced underground by high-level bankers who rule Babylon in secret.

The Days of Noah, the Rapture, & the 2nd Coming



THE DAYS OF NOAH, THE RAPTURE AND THE SECOND COMING

As The Days of Noah

Matthew 24:37-39 KJV  But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.  (38)  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,  (39)  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

The days of Noah will be quite similar to the time of the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ.  Matthew 24:37 has generated much speculation throughout the years, particularly the past few years.  Tom Horn (and others) claim that the last days will witness a resurgence of fallen angels, Nephilim giants, chimera, and demonic entities of various flavors.  I consider this doubtful to actually occur.  Never mind that Jesus specifically described the parallels between the days of Noah and the last days.

This particular scripture does not concern Noah and his family but only the people living during the days of Noah.  It also appears to only be concerned with the flood as the wrath of God and nothing extraneous.  The inhabitants of those days ignored the preaching of Noah and other grand sires.  They continued their “life as usual” by eating, drinking, and marriage customs with no regard for the coming annihilation that was proclaimed by Noah and others.  At the time, many probably believed that Noah was a gibbering fool and that God either did not exist or would not destroy the world with a flood, much like today.  They were completely astonished when the rain started falling and water gushing from the ground, as most people will be today when the mass killings, plagues, and falling meteorites begin in earnest.  It will be the unbelievers who will be taken away (to death) not the believers.  Noah was not taken away – he merely entered the ark and was saved from death to begin a new generation of individuals.

One Taken, the Other Left

Matthew 24:40-41 KJV  Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.  (41)  Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Within the context of Matthew 24:37-39, the next two verses (40-41) are an extension of the Noah verses concept and part of the general thought structure.  At the flood all were destroyed except Noah and his family.  During the days of tribulation and the final wrath of God, more will be preserved than eight but many will be destroyed.  Jesus proclaims that some will be left alive and others will be taken.  The question to be answered is:  which group will be taken and which group will be left behind?

This is one of the rapture crowd’s favorite rapture verses, particularly the pre-trib rapturists.  They claim the ones taken are raptured and according to Tim LaHayes Left Behind series of books and movies, the ones left behind are the unbelievers and the taken are the believers floating off into heaven leaving behind a pile of clothing.  The belief of a BIN writer (DTBR) is that the left behind group are the believers and the taken are sent to Hades (the bottomless pit / hell / the lake of fire / etc.)  I do not believe this DTBR interpretation is correct.

Because verses 40-41 are within the same context as 37-39 then the ones taken will be the unbelievers.  The flood took away all the unbelievers of Noah’s day and likewise the unbelievers will be taken away in verses 40-41.  They will be taken away by death and destruction just as the flood took away the unbelievers by death and destruction.

A Different Rapture View
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 is probably the most well-known passage concerning the rapture and the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 KJV  (15)  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.  (16)  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  (17)  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

It will be said that Paul was centering his focus upon the order of events as they would occur and not necessarily the timing of events.  As for timing, most exegetes consider that the resurrection of the dead and the harpazo (caught up / rapture) of the living will occur almost simultaneously which may not be the case as will be discussed later.

The first event will be the resurrection of the dead in Christ.  Paul proceeds and uses the word “then” which means “next” rather than meaning “not immediately”.  According to Dr. Stephen Jones, the feast of trumpets (the trump of God) occurs on the first day of the seventh month on the Hebrew calendar.  This prophesies of the resurrection of the dead.  The harpazo, or “catching away” occurs during the feast of Tabernacles which begins on the 15th day of the seventh month, therefore these events are at least two weeks apart.  In other words the resurrection of the dead and the catching away of the saints will be, at a minimum, two weeks apart in timing.

The next event in Paul’s statement is, “to meet the Lord in the air” in which “meet” is the Greek word apantesis.  The various Greek dictionaries add little substance to the meaning other than “to meet as in an encounter”.  However, the usage of the word in the New Testament implies by application that it means:  to meet and return with as an escort or entourage.  Two of the four New Testament usages can be found in Matthew 25:1 and 6. 

The ten virgins were to “meet” the bridegroom.  At the bridegroom’s arrival, five virgins were foolish and left the scene to acquire oil for their lamps.  The wise virgins went to meet the bridegroom and traveled back to the door of the wedding and went in.  The door is the place where all ten were waiting; the five with extra oil went out to meet the bridegroom and returned with Him to the wedding room door.  The five foolish virgins were late and the door was closed and would not be reopened.  Therefore, the five wise virgins went to meet the bridegroom and returned with Him (to meet and return with as an escort).

Matthew 25:1 KJV  Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet (apantesis) the bridegroom.

The Bridegroom did not come to snatch away the wise virgins and take them back to heaven with Him (or anywhere else for that matter). Instead, the virgins escorted Him back to the place where they had been waiting i.e. the door of the wedding ceremony. 

More information concerning the story of the 10 Virgins can be found at the following link:

The next use of the word apantesis is found in Acts 28:15.  Paul, as a prisoner, is taken to Rome.  Believers came from Rome to meet Paul and returned to Rome with him as an entourage. 

Acts 28:15-16 KJV  And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.  (16)  And when we came to Rome…….

Paul was explaining that believers would meet the Lord in the air and accompany Him to the earth in His return as explained symbolically (or prophetically) in the story of the ten virgins.  The five foolish virgins would continue to be alive (not sent to hell) but would have to attend school (bond servant) taught by the fire of the word of God.

How far above the surface of the earth is “in the air”?  Many consider it to be the upper atmosphere where clouds are found (too many movies and so-called Christian fiction).  In the air only means “not in the ground”.  It could be a mile or a millimeter.

No one is given a free ticket to escape “the great tribulation” as some claim is coming.  As proof of this for pre-trib rapturists, Revelation 7:14 is invoked, where it says, "these are the ones who come out of the great tribulation."  These individuals come out of, not escape any tribulation at all.  In my opinion, the only tribulation that is escaped is the wrath of God.
