Blood Moons? ... Harbingers? ... Coming
economic chaos across the globe? .... As a 'watchmen' of these things, it is
all mind-boggling right now! ... There is so much that I want to share with
you, but would be impossible to do so in a short review. ... So, over the next
few weeks, I want to try and give you an overview of just what I am 'seeing'
coming together right now. .. Simply, it is truly amazing, and I believe you
will have the same reaction once we get through it .. that is if I can explain
it well enough with my somewhat limited skills. .. I will just trust the Holy
Spirit to 'take over' at this point. ... So here goes .......
The first thing I need to do is to
explain the 'Shemittah Year,' which ties it all together. ... This explanation
is from John Hagee's book, 'Four Blood Moons' .... "Shemittah is the
Sabbatical year, which occurs every seventh year. Shemittah is 'Shabbat' (the Sabbath) for the
land of Israel; the land 'rests' in a
fashion, similar to the way the Jewish people rest every seventh day (Leviticus
25:4). ... While observing Shemittah guarantees abundant produce, neglecting it
leads to judgement. Jeremiah foretold
that the Jewish people would be exiled for not keeping Shemittah by not
allowing the land to rest (Jeremiah 17:4).
When the Jewish people violated the law of Shemittah, God exiled them
for 70 years until the land 'enjoyed her Sabbaths' (2 Chronicles
36:19-21). Jewish tradition teaches that
exile is the penalty for the three cardinal sins of murder, idolatry, sexual
immorality, and the neglecting to keep the laws of Shemittah! "
OK Red, so what's this got to do with us?
... This is all that ancient Jewish 'stuff!' ... Again, I go back to John
Hagee's book .... "In America the judgement of violating Shemittah is not
linked to the land of Israel but to our national disobedience to the Word of
God. We give our allegiance to the idols
of self-indulgence and greed, and our immorality is equivalent to that of Sodom
and Gomorrah. The year 2001 was a
Shemittah year. What happened that year
in America? On September 11, 2001, we
were attacked for the first time on our soil since the British burned the White
House in 1813." .... We know the rest of the story. .. What once was
perceived as a nation untouchable by foreign powers was no more. ... America
witnessed a 'new day of infamy!' ....
Now fast-forward seven years to 2008, the next Shemittah year and what
happened? .... The implosion of the American economy as we knew it!
So now I want to shift to the subject of
the economy .... Hang in there because I know I'm skipping around a bit ...
Those of you who know me are aware that I truly believe the world economy will
be the deciding factor for the coming chaos to descend upon the planet, thus
enabling the coming world leader to usher in his world government. .. OK, so
how does this tie in to the Shemittah 'thing?' ... I'm glad you asked! .. Let's
go back and read Deuteronomy 15:1-2 ... "At the end of every seven years
you shall grant a release of debts. And
this is the form of the release: Every
creditor who has lent anything to his neighbor shall release it; he shall not require it of his neighbor or
his brother, because it is called the Lord's release (Shemittah)". ... So
basically, the 'letting go' of the Shemittah would touch the economic realm and
transform it! ... So, if a nation that
was under the pretense of God's laws (Israel & America) followed these
outlines given by God, they would be blessed beyond measure! ... But if not ...
Judgement was assured .....
OK, now back to today and us ... Next I
want to share some facts as to what I believe is absolute truth to what we have
just very briefly reviewed. ... Let's go back to September 11, 2001 and look at
its economic connection to what we are looking at. ... That tragic event caused
the New York Stock Exchange to close down for six days and then, when it
reopened the following Monday, it suffered its greatest single-day loss in
history! .. Now here's the connection
... The economic chaos of that day fell on the exact biblical day appointed for
the wiping out of credit and debt! .. It fell on the exact day of the closing
of the Shemittah year! .......
Now again, let's fast-forward seven years
to September, 2008. ... The economic collapse was set off by a series of
trigger events early in the month. .. At that time, over half of the American
mortgage market was owned by Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae. .. Early in
September, both were teetering on the edge of collapse. .. The government
swooped in and took them over, essentially 'nationalizing' the debt. .. Next,
Lehman Brothers, which at the start of the 21st century stood at the pinnacle
of the world's leading financial firms, collapsed in bankruptcy. .. The collapse of 'Fannie & Freddie'
happened on Sept. 7, Lehman Brothers on the 9th ... The stock market, which was
already in turmoil, took another huge hit ... 499 points ... on September 11th!
Over the next several weeks, the the
world's financial markets reeled wildly from the impact. .. Then ,on the
morning of September 29th, the New York Stock Exchange began its session with
what many saw as an omen ... the opening bell wouldn't sound! .. But when it
finally did, Wall Street saw the greatest single-day stock market crash in its
history ... and it took place on the 29th day of Elul - the critical and
crowning day of the Hebrew Sheimittah! ... The day when financial accounts were
wiped away all happened on the exact biblical day on which it was ordained to
happen! ... THE END OF THE SHEMITTAH YEAR! ...
Here's just a few more facts that should
'slam home' the truth of these things ... We know that the number 7 is a sacred
number to the ancient Hebrew people. .. The word is used often in the Bible to
symbolize perfection, fullness, abundance, rest, and completion. ... Just look
at this! ... The crash happened in the Hebrew month of Tishri, the 7th month of
the biblical year, also the crowning day of the Shemittah. .. Also, the
government offered a bailout to ease the financial chaos .. and the amount was
.. you guessed it .. $700 Billion! ..
Then, because the bailout was rejected, the market fell 7%. .. and how many
points was needed to amount to 7%? ... Yes, it was a drop of 777 points! ... on
the final day of the 7th year! ... Do you realize how many things would have to
be in place for all that to happen.. to come out like that? .. All of Wall
Street, the entire American economy, the entire world economy, every
transaction, every stock bought and sold, everything ... everything had to be
in its exact position for it all to happen exactly as it did, at the exact
time, and to that exact number. .. Only one possibility exists that could orchestrate
all of that ..... God!
So what's next? ... If this 7-year cycle
has taken place in the past, is there any reason it won't continue in the
future? ... The next Shemittah year starts on September 25th of 2014 (this
year) and concludes on September 13th of 2015. ... Will these same types of
things happen again? ... Unless our nation falls on its face and repents of its
throwing God totally out of its society, I believe it is certain .. and this
time, most likely permanent! ..... Is
there any indication that America is ready to repent? .. On the contrary, we
seem to be going in the opposite direction! .... The killing of babies
continues .. immorality sliding to all-time lows on any given day .. murders of
entire families as well as street violence is rampant .... it seems so hopeless
at times, doesn't it? ... And as for the economy, we are nearing $18 Trillion
in national debt ...many cities are on the verge of bankruptcy ... over half of
American families are facing debt they cannot pay ...joblessness is rising,
contrary to the government's fictitious numbers ... and as well, many economic prognosticators
are predicting that the 'bubble' will burst at any time because there is
nothing to support all this massive debt and money-printing that is taking place.
... I was fascinated just this morning when I read this statement from David
Stockman, a well respected Wall Street reporter ... "We are on the edge of
the 'third bubble' right now." ....
WHAT?! .. Think of this
statement! ... What was the first bubble? ... September of 2001! ... and the
second bubble? ... September of 2008! ... So what would have to be the third
one? ... Most likely between now and September 13th of 2015! .... and all are
tied directly to the Shemitta year! ...... Simply amazing!
Going forward, besides the Shemittah
having economic impacts, it also has huge consequences concerning Israel. ...
If you've read "Four Blood Moons" by John Hagee, you will see what
I'm referring to. ... Next week, I will
bring you more concerning this. ...
Since coming across all this over these
past few weeks, I have been overwhelmed as to just how close we are to
America's apparent coming judgement. ... While I've always known it was nearly
upon us, the sheer fact that is almost NOW is mind-boggling! ... and it just
turns on my 'urgency button!' .... We've
got to get busy with the work God has given us to do. ... And no, I'm not
setting a date, but God said we would know the season (see Matthew 24:33). ...
There is no doubt in my mind that America's days are numbered. .. As for the
rest of the world? .. who knows, but it will all change everywhere "in the
twinkling of an eye" very, very, very soon! ... Hallelujah!
OK .. I'm outta here for another week ...
Keep the faith and keep praying for each other as we go forward! .. The Lord
knows exactly what He's doing and He has supplied us with enough information to
"know the season" is now!
.......... Hallelujah!
Until next time,
