“There will be signs
in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity
at the roaring of the sea and waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation
of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of heavens will
be shaken. Then they will see the Son of
Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to take place,
straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near”
(Luke 21:25-28).
Hey gang: I know I
sometimes sound repetitious with my “I read, or I have heard, and I have seen,”
but I want you to know that everything you read on these printed pages has been
carefully studied by yours truly to make sure there are two or more witnesses
that agree with what is being said. This
question was recently asked, in a meeting of several prophecy guru’s: “What is
the most impacting sign of the times, today?”
After each had stated their preferences it was his turn to expound and he
simply said, “Convergence”.
“Convergence, what in the world does that mean?” Was the
follow up question? He said there were
so many things happening so fast that one cannot pick out one sign and build
their house around it. Jesus warned us
that we should keep an open mind and look at all the prophecies of the Word. When
all of these things come together, know the days are short; we should have our
armor shined and in place, our lamps filled with oil, stay prayed up to the
second and keep our swords (Bible) close at hand and open. Keep this in mind my friends and neighbors,
you could wake up tomorrow in the heavenlies.
I pray you have a better understanding of what the Mystery
of Shemitah is after reading my first two instalments. I want to begin the wrap up the Shemitah
subject by clarifying a point I might have left dangling in the last blog. Yes, the Elul 29 date that is rapidly
approaching falls on Sunday September 13, but does that mean the sky will crash
on that day? Only God can answer that question. He is by no means locked into our
calendars. But God has a history of
passing judgment and we can look at His historical record and see that He tends
to do things the same and the Shemitah is a good example of that.
This we know, when a country that was once a Christian
nation decides, one day, to elect a leader that is bent on taking the nation
down a one-way path to perdition - toward secularism and other ungodly “isms” -
the nations influence and standing in the world will soon dissipate. One does not have to be super intelligence to
realize we are well down that path a long way and daily move closer to the edge
of the precipice.
As Jonathan Cahn has said many times, it is very possible
that nothing may happen on or near September 13 because we cannot put God in a
box. But we can rest assured that unless there is third awakening in our nation
and a return to God, we are going to feel God’s wrath.
But eventually, whether it’s in 2015 or 2016 or beyond,
judgment is going to come. We have heard
much about the four lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses over a span of
seventeen months, in accordance with the Biblical Feast days of Passover and
Tabernacles. The first solar eclipse was
on March 20, the exact center point of the Shemitah year, and the second will
be on Elul 29 or September 13, a date you might want to mark in bold letters on
your calendar.
Also, keep in mind, 2016 could be more pivotal than 2015, if
it is indeed the “Super Shemitah.” This
is how some describes as the “Year of Jubilee” which occurs once every seven
Shemitah’s, in the 50th year.
Soooo, my friends, I pray I have given you enough to better
understand what the Shemitah Mystery is all about. I pray, too, that it sparked enough interest
in you to do your own research and see what the Word says to you. (The word
Shemitah is not in Scripture, it is a Hebrew word meaning nullification. For your research read Leviticus 23:1-25 and
Deuteronomy 15:1-15).
There is always the
danger, when studying Bible prophecy, that some teachers will go too far and
set dates for various predictions. But
this should not prevent you from digging into Daniel, Revelation, Ezekiel and
the other prophetic books of the Bible and heeding their warnings.
In closing I believe a great shaking is coming to this
nation and to the world. All the
indicators would seem to be saying that shaking is going to come in the
financial and economical areas of the world, but will not be are restricted to
those areas. It is a fabulous time to be
on earth and see the mighty hand of God at work -but also a time when we must
make sure our hearts are in tune with God and shining witnesses for Him.
Blessings,
Gramps
