Revelation 11: 18 – 19 (NKJV)
18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”
19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.
The earth is entering into a stage where it is convulsing.
We see the signs of this every day. There are strange weather events and occurrences that are happening with greater frequency and intensity.
We are seeing tsunami’s, volcanic eruptions, floods, and to not to mention our normal hurricanes, typhoons, and nor easters.
There are 22 active volcanoes in 2021 in comparison to the 9 active volcanoes in 2020 in comparison to the 2 active volcanoes in 2019.
In 2020 there were 9 earthquakes of 7.0 magnitude and above, 115 earthquakes of 6.0 to 7.0, 1,689 earthquakes of 5.0 to 6.0, 38,940 earthquakes of 3.0 to 4.0.
All of these events are supernaturally occurring in the Earth as signs to us that the “Day of the Lord” is coming.
There are three categories of judgments that come against the Earth.
Category 1 – Creations Birth pains
Matthew 24: 4 – 8 (NKJV)
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
These birth pains are happening as prophetic signs. They signal Jesus’ return to the Earth.
Category 2 – Innocent blood being shed
Matthew 23: 31 – 36 (NKJV)
31 “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. 33 Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? 34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
Abel’s blood being shed in the earth, cried out to God after Cain killed him.
How much more is the blood of the martyrs crying out right now?
Think about all of the righteous blood being shed in the earth and that blood needing justice.
It’s crying out to God and judgment is being stored up until the Cup of God’s wrath is poured out.
Sometimes we look at certain situations and say they got away with murder and some people get mad at God because they think that God isn’t looking.
God is looking. Justice is coming. No one is getting away with anything.
Category 3 – Prophetic shaking of Heaven & Earth
Hebrews 12: 24 – 26 (NKJV)
24 and to Jesus, the Mediator of a new covenant [uniting God and man], and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks [of mercy], a better and nobler and more gracious message than the blood of Abel [which cried out for vengeance].
25 See to it that you do not refuse [to listen to] Him who is speaking [to you now]. For if those [sons of Israel] did not escape when they refused [to listen to] him who warned them on earth [revealing God’s will], how much less will we escape if we turn our backs on Him who warns from heaven? 26 His voice shook the earth [at Mount Sinai] then, but now He has given a promise, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the [starry] heaven.”
Prophetically there is a shaking that is coming to the Earth. This was prophesied by God.
These shakings that God is doing around the Earth are apart of the plan of God.
For many years now God has been telling us Joel 2 is here.
So, we need to take account of what God is really doing with Joel 2.
Back in 2014 and 2015 the Christian community was excited because we were entering into a time where we encountered the celestial event called the Tetrad.
A Tetrad is 4 lunar eclipse cycles that occur within 6 months of each other.
Ever since we passed through these Four Blood Moons in 2014 and 2015 many prophetic people believe that this started a shifting in the Spirit realm.
It did but I don’t believe that we understood what God was really saying.
There is a movement in the Church to keep people in the dark about God’s judgments.
They make it seem like God’s people cannot handle the truth.
There is a control that has come from some prophetic leaders in the Church and they really in effect shut the voice of God off when it comes to talking about His judgments.
They say it’s too negative and we don’t want to put the people in fear.
This is wrong.
Ezekiel 33: 1 – 20 (AMP) The Watchman’s Duty
33 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, speak to the sons of your people [who are exiled in Babylon] and say to them, ‘If I bring a sword on a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their watchman, 3 and he sees the sword coming on the land, and he blows the trumpet and warns the people, 4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his [own] head. 5 He heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning; his blood shall be on himself. But if he had taken warning, he would have saved his life. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, he is taken away because of his corruption and sin; but I will require his blood from the watchman’s hand.’
7 “Now as for you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so you shall hear a message from My mouth and give them a warning from Me. 8 When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will certainly die,’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die because of his sin; but I will require his blood from your hand. 9 But if you on your part warn the wicked man to turn from his [evil] way and he does not turn from his [evil] way, he will die in his sin; but you have saved your life.
10 “Now as for you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus you have said, “Truly our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we are rotting away because of them; how then can we live?”’ 11 Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back (change your way of thinking), turn back [in repentance] from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’ 12 And you, son of man, say to the sons of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous man will not save him in the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not stagger because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness, whereas a righteous man will not be able to live because of his [previous acts of] righteousness on the day when he commits sin.’ 13 When I say to the righteous that he will most certainly live, and he trusts in his [previous acts of] righteousness [to save him] and commits injustice, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die for his injustice that he committed. 14 But when I say to the wicked, ‘You will certainly die,’ and he turns from his sin and practices that which is just (fair) and right— 15 if a wicked man returns [what he took as] a pledge, pays back what he had taken by robbery, walks in the statutes which ensure life, without committing injustice, he will certainly live; he will not die. 16 None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has practiced that which is just (fair) and right; he will most certainly live.
17 “Yet your people [who are in exile in Babylon] say, ‘The way of the Lord is not right;’ but as for them, it is their own way that is not right. 18 When the righteous turns back from his righteousness and commits injustice, he will also die because of it. 19 But when a wicked man turns back from his wickedness and practices what is just (fair) and right, he will live because of it. 20 Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not right.’ O house of Israel, I will judge you, every one [of you] in accordance with his own ways!”
There is a clear mandate from God for leadership.
If you do your part as a leader you have nothing to worry about you will be clean before God.
What troubles me is that there is a set of people in the Body of Christ who do not want to be led. They fight against everything God tells the leader to tell them to do. This is not right also.
There is another set of people who want leadership but the leaders in the Church are afraid to lead.
I feel like there are some people in the Body of Christ who want to know the truth.
They are starving for it but some in the Church are toning God’s message down to tickle ears.
When the world outside of the Church is predicting that bad things are going to be happening and the world comes to the Church and we say nothing, or we say you don’t have to worry about that this is just a bunch of fiction… there is something wrong.
The critical understanding that should have been spoken by the leaders during this time period was that the world is entering into a time of judgment and that judgment is coming from God.
It was no accident that these blood moons all occurred on Jewish holidays.
This was a message from God and we need to consider did we do our part to deliver this message to the world.
Tetrads that occur on Jewish Feast Days:
The Jewish Talmud, an important Jewish text used to identify religious Jewish law and the Moses five books known as the Torah indicates that,
If the moon is in eclipse (moon turning into darkness) is a sign of wrath coming upon Israel.
In case of a blood moon eclipse, and if is as red as blood, it is a sign of a sword coming.
If the sun turns into darkness (solar eclipse) is a sign of wrath coming to the worldi
It is somewhat rare for all four Blood Moons to occur each on Jewish Feast Days.
This is only the ninth time in 2000 years that this has happened where a Tetrad has all four Blood Moons occurring on Jewish feast days. The number "Nine" in Hebrew has the meaning of 'judgment.' The last Blood Moon of the 2014-15 Tetrad was also a Super Moon appearing larger then usual, and the eclipsed moon was setting over Jerusalem on a feast day.
Only two happened in the fourteen hundreds and the next two happened in the nineteen hundreds. When this has happened in the past important events have occurred on or near the Jewish Tetrads.
A Jewish Tetrad occurred 1493-1494 and this was period of time that Jews were expelled from Spain and Columbus returned from his discovery of the New World.
In 1949-1950 this happened again. Jews returned to form the country of Israel for the first time in 2000 years.
The next time this occurs is the Tetrad of 1967-1968. Israel captured the city of Jerusalem in the Six Day War and for the first time Jews pray at the holy wall in the city of their ancestors.
We heard a lot about blood moons in 2014 and 2015 but what was the significance of the Solar eclipse that occurred right in the middle of those 4 blood moons?
The total solar eclipse on March 20th falls on Nisan 1, which is the first day of the first month of the Biblical calendar. According to Jewish tradition, a solar eclipse on Nisan 1 is a sign of judgment.
For example, there was a solar eclipse on Nisan 1 in 70 AD. Later that year, the Romans attacked Jerusalem and completely destroyed the Temple.
What makes all of this even more interesting is the fact that the solar eclipse on March 20th fell right in the middle of the blood moon tetrad, and it also happens to fall during the Shmitah (Sabbatical) year.
“…when the sun is in eclipse, it is a bad omen for the whole world. This may be illustrated by a parable.
To what can this be compared? To a human being who made a banquet for his servants and put up for them a lamp. When he became wroth with them he said to his servant, ‘Take away the lamp from them, and let them sit in the dark’.
It was taught: …, whenever the luminaries [moon] are in eclipse, it is a bad omen for Israel since they are inured to blows. This may be compared to a school teacher who comes to school with a strap in his hand. Who becomes apprehensive? He who is accustomed to be daily punished. …, When the sun is in eclipse it is a bad omen for idolaters; when the moon is in eclipse, it is a bad omen for Israel, since Israel reckons by the moon and idolaters by the sun…”ii
…Of course, Jewish tradition is not Scripture, but it is very interesting to note.
And what we do know is that we have seen this kind of pattern before.
Joel 2: 28 – 32 (NKJV)
“And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. 29 And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
30 “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. 32 And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, among the remnant whom the Lord calls.
We’re hearing a lot about global warming and climate change in these days.
Did you know that the Church has the answer to global warming and climate change?
The answer is all tied up in scripture.
Genesis 3: 17 – 19 (NKJV)
17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
In toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,
And you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
For dust you are,
And to dust you shall return.”
Genesis 6: 1 – 7 (AMP) The Corruption of Mankind
6 Now it happened, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful and desirable; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose and desired. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive and remain with man forever, because he is indeed flesh [sinful, corrupt—given over to sensual appetites]; nevertheless his days shall yet be a hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were Nephilim (men of stature, notorious men) on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they gave birth to their children. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown (great reputation, fame).
5 The Lord saw that the wickedness (depravity) of man was great on the earth, and that every imagination or intent of the thoughts of his heart were only evil continually. 6 The Lord regretted that He had made mankind on the earth, and He was [deeply] grieved in His heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy (annihilate) mankind whom I have created from the surface of the earth—not only man, but the animals and the crawling things and the birds of the air—because it [deeply] grieves Me [to see mankind’s sin] and I regret that I have made them.”
What many people fail to realize is that global warming and climate change are a result of the sins of the people of the world.
The sins of the world are going down into the Earth wreaking havoc and destruction upon the Earth.
God never intended for the world to be so polluted but we corrupted the Earth our sin.
The Earth is reacting just like is Abel's blood reacted after Cain slew him
The real global warming and climate change issue is a direct correlation to the degradation is corruption of this world.
Romans 8: 18 – 22 (NKJV)
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.
