Jan Markell ~ December 30, 2016
At the end of each year I like to review how Bible prophecy played out during the year. Seeing dark news items from a prophetic perspective causes the darkness to be more bearable. I often post these stories to my "headlines" daily which can be found here (http://www.olivetreeviews.org/news/headlines).

I won't be silent about the signs of the times. If Jesus chastised the Pharisees for not knowing the signs of His first coming, why would we not be expected to be aware of today's apocalyptic signs?

Rise up, wake up and look up!

These Tribulation stage-setting events aren't in any particular order. But we must keep our eyes on Israel, God's timepiece. The minute-hand is Jerusalem and the second-hand is the Temple Mount. They have all been prominent in the news.

• Zechariah 12:3 became a blunt reality on December 23. This was the day the U.N. Security Council voted unanimously to come against Israel. America abstained which is essentially voting with the other members. Jerusalem symbolically became the world's burdensome stone. This was initiated and instigated by the President of the United States which means terrible repercussions are coming to this land. So Israel is to return to 1967 "Auschwitz" borders. The holy city of Jerusalem becomes "occupied territory." And Israel is further isolated and alienated as predicted.
• The great falling away didn't stop falling in 2016. Many evangelical churches became nothing more than advocates for open borders and multiculturalism. The social gospel made such giant inroads and salvation issues became unrecognizable. Emergent/Postmodernism raged. Other churches fell into lukewarmness. Hardly any would deal with the issues of the day or the Lord's return.
• The longing for a "man with a plan" was never so prominent. Even CNN's Home page begged for a man who could restore order. It asked in smaller print, "Is there a leader who can stop the chaos and heal America?"
• II Timothy 3 character was on overdrive in 2016. Various presidential candidates were consumed with pride and self-aggrandizement.
• Israel's re-convened Sanhedrin took the momentous step of nominating a High Priest for the Temple – for the first time since its destruction in 70 A.D. The Tribulation Temple is in the works, even though the United Nations just declared this area off-limits to the Jews!
• Israel struck Damascus in early December, targeting some weapons. This is a precursor to what is predicted in Isaiah 17:1.
• God continues to intervene for His sovereign nation of Israel. In November, he sent a pillar of a cloud of dust and rain to push back ISIS on Israel's border. See it here. He who keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121). The cloud of dust and rain stayed right at the border and did not cross into Israel.

• There was stage-setting for the Tribulation's natural disasters which will be far worse than anything the world has known thus far. Publications called many events "record setting," "unprecedented," and "of biblical proportion." The Bible calls them "birth pangs."
• The war on cash intensified. A few nations are banning cash and this will eventually lead to "Mark of the Beast" accounting. Technology was introduced that enables the total payment of goods and services using only an embedded chip.
• Gog-Magog players are getting ready. Russia is the new power player in the Mideast thanks to America's absence. So is Iran. Turkey is in chaos and looking to Russia for support. These are the three primary players in Ezekiel 38-39, although other nations participate.
• Europe is in a meltdown--setting the unstable stage for the arrival of the Antichrist out of Europe. Its godless culture welcomes all things dark and occultic. Their refugee policy has thrown the continent into chaos. It will welcome a "Mr. Fix-It" to calm the storm. On June 1 they had a literal Satanic ceremony as they dedicated the Gotthard Base Tunnel in Switzerland. European leaders cheered this. Below is the demonic "goat man" who was celebrated.

• The season of mocking the Lord's return intensified. The Christian publication "Christian Today" scorned the Lord's return and said a "zombie apocalypse" was more likely.
• The predicted rise of evil continues as foretold in II Timothy 3:13. A new term was introduced in late 2016: "Spirit Cooking." It is too dark to write about but you can Google the information. We don't recommend it for sensitive people. It is borne out of the occult followers of Satanist Aleister Crowley and it would have entered the White House and Oval Office had Hillary Clinton won. This may be the biggest reason the Left lost as many in the Clinton campaign were cheerleaders for this evil.
• The run-up to the lawlessness in the Tribulation has begun. There was post-election rioting with the promise of much more to come – all a blatant rejection of Donald J. Trump. Barack Obama was the most lawless president in U.S. history. He even told illegals they could vote with no consequences. Now the Left is making daily comments about assassinating Donald Trump.
• Values seemed to tank this past year with the gay agenda turning blatant. Many major corporations promoted this with their national advertising. The "days of Noah" have returned as predicted by Jesus. It seems like everyone is drowning the lake of me-myself-I. The transgender agenda has also flourished. In both cases Target led the way with promotion.

• The predicted rise in the persecution of Christians and Jews intensified. At the same time, some pastors were forced to turn over sermons for inspection in America and Christian businesses were hammered for trying to stand for righteousness. Yet Islam is protected and no condemnation can be given.
• For most of these to play out required the prophesied rise in strong delusion (II Thess. 2:10-12). Those who take delight in mocking and rejecting Him, He will condemn, confuse their thinking, and cause them to believe fables. And they do! Remember, global warming is a greater danger than radical Islam. Today it would seem the Mad Hatter is in charge.
• Technology giants came against righteousness once again. From Facebook to YouTube to Google to Twitter, their progressive agenda rejected a conservative and Christian message. The Christian film "I Am Not Ashamed" had their YouTube trailer taken down one year in advance, marginalizing ticket sales.

Things are not falling apart -- they are falling into place. Can you hear the hoof beats of the four horsemen of the apocalypse in the distance?

I would not argue with any of your points. After the Gotthard Base Tunnel debacle I was convinced these are the end times. Also, I wondered after the announcement of the UN treachery if this isn't the stimulus needed for the Israeli's to take over the Temple Mount and rebuild the Temple. While the US was running interference for Israel, very little was likely to change and now there is very little to stop the rebuild.

Did you think it possible for a consequence to happen to America because of the complete betrayal of Israel by Obama like the 'perfect storm', Katrina, the Joplin tornado, the fires in California, the massive tornados in Oklahoma, to name just a few? I hold my breath every morning when I turn the news on! There was an article that I received in my e-mail about these catastrophes that went into details about these events. I think it was WND. Do you think that Psalm 83 is actually a war with the countrys that border Israel and will take place before Ezekiel 38-39? Would love to hear your opinion on these questions. We seem to have very similar beliefs. It's ok if you had rather not answer. Maranatha and Happy New Year!

I believe that judgment is coming because of what happened on December 23 and may be worsened by the scuttlebutt that before Obama leaves office there will be another Obama sponsored UN resolution in place that recognizes a Palestinian state. Although not a 7-year peace treaty, it just brings us that much closer.

Concerning the Psalm 83 war, please understand that this is just MY opinion but I believe that the Psalm 83 War may have already happened in the 1967 Six-Day War…among other things were the Israeli troops were outnumbered almost two and one-half to one. Please read Psalm 83 below and refer to how the “stats” MAY coincide with it.

Concerning Ezekiel 38-39, the players are in place and it’s just a matter of time and may be very close. I and many others are of the opinion that the Rapture may happen just before Ezekiel 38-39 happens or just after it starts. Regardless, I believe that we’re VERY CLOSE.

For another perspective of the Rapture, all biblically based, look up Scott Clarke at Eternal Rhythm Flow (https://www.youtube.com/user/eternalrhythmflow), watch the video that starts when you log on and the others under “Prophecy Autopsy | Revelation 12 Headquarters – Revelation 12 UNLOCKED! Now is the time to understand the greatest heavenly sign!” Take it for what’s it is worth – in my opinion an LOT – only because it confirms research that I have done on the subject and points to a POSSIBLE Rapture in September 2017.

Psalm 83
O God, do not be silent! Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, O God.
Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies? Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?
They devise crafty schemes against your people; they conspire against your precious ones.
“Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation. We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”
Yes, this was their unanimous decision. They signed a treaty as allies against you— these Edomites and Ishmaelites; Moabites and Hagrites; Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites; and people from Philistia and Tyre.
Assyria has joined them, too, and is allied with the descendants of Lot. Interlude
Do to them as you did to the Midianites and as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
They were destroyed at Endor, and their decaying corpses fertilized the soil.
Let their mighty nobles die as Oreb and Zeeb did. Let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna, for they said, “Let us seize for our own use these pasturelands of God!”
O my God, scatter them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind!
As a fire burns a forest and as a flame sets mountains ablaze, chase them with your fierce storm; terrify them with your tempest.
Utterly disgrace them until they submit to your name, O Lord.
Let them be ashamed and terrified forever. Let them die in disgrace.
Then they will learn that you alone are called the Lord, that you alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth.

What I'm not sure of is whether a "peace deal" will be reached first or the 6th Trumpet War will come first. Some say the latter has already started, it just hasn't spread yet. Either way, it's coming soon. When the interim agreement (two state solution) is reached we have 7 years until Armageddon.

Just curious...from your viewpoint, have the seven seals and the first five trumpets already happened/are happening and if so, can you provide some more insight from your perspective?

The Seals, Trumpets and Vials represent history from different time perspectives.

The Seals are the long perspective, beginning with the White Horse (Roman Catholicism) in about 300? AD and the 7th is opened at the 2nd Coming.

The Trumpets began with WWI and we're waiting on the 6th at this moment. The 7th is blown at the 2nd coming.

The Vials are poured out in the last 3 1/2 years. The last at the 2nd Coming. None of these have happened yet.

If you read the description of the 7th Seal, 7th Trumpet and 7th Vial it's obvious that they describe the same event. The descriptions even use the same words "voices, mutterings, thunderings, earthquake. etc.

Yes, I believe 5 Trumpets have blown since WWI. The 5th Trumpet describes the Gulf War down to the meaning of Saddam Hussein's name and the burning of the oil fields. The 3rd Trumpet was Chernobyl. The name means Wormwood. That one was easy...at Chernobyl now the memorial is a statue of an angel blowing a trumpet. The Europeans put out a secular video of the effect Chernobyl had. I have the link somewhere if you want it. It's eerily like the description in Revelation. The 6th Trumpet War is where the 4 spirits bound in the Euphrates are loosed. Spirits govern if you remember Daniel, who prayed, but his answer was delayed for 21 days by the "Prince of Persia". The whole world is on a nuclear knife edge in the Euphrates River Valley right this minute, and the 6th Trumpet War is supposed to kill a third of mankind. We're there, the Russians are there, the Iranians are there, the Iraqis are there, Assad is there, ISIS is there, a dozen or more nut job rebel groups are there, assorted loonies from half the globe are there, Hezbollah is there, the Kurds are there, now Turkey is there. You can bet, before the Israelis let the Iranians (there's that Prince of Persia again) drop a bomb on them they'll preemptively strike...and we know that Iran already has the ability to drop a dirty bomb. Not only that, the stupid governments of most Western nations have been importing the loonies I mentioned in order to appear open-minded and civilized. Who knows what they'll do when the Trumpet blows. Not only that...China could jump bad if we're busy in the Mideast. The Chinese are good for a billion casualties.

Oh yeah...I definitely believe prophecy is unfolding at an increasingly rapid pace ("If I had not shortened the times no flesh would be saved"). Bottom line: In Daniel the angel tells Daniel 9:27 "And he shall confirm a covenant with the many for one week; and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and because of the protection of abominations there shall be a desolator, even until that the consumption and what is determined shall be poured out upon the desolate." This "covenant" will be the Abrahamic Covenant...that Israel has a right to exist. The West Bank will go to the Palestinians and the Temple Mount will be divided...probably under UN control. The issue of Jerusalem will be put off. Keep your eyes peeled. Trump says he's a deal maker. Netanyahu has already said he'd trade land for peace and now that the Palestinians have been given what they asked for in the UN by our idiot administration they'll have no excuse to continue their war on the Jews if Israel acquiesces on this West Bank business. The UN itself may pressure both parties to accept the deal. Dan 9:27 is one of the few prophecies with a timer attached. 7 years after the deal is reached, Armageddon! Jerusalem will be the match that sets it off.

This might be something of interest…

Introduction
According to Paul, who was inspired by the Holy Spirit, someday a group of people will suddenly rise from the dead. Another group, still living, will be whisked away – suddenly and decisively, like by someone seizing bounty (spoil, a prize) by an open display of “force,” not covertly or secretly – to rooms prepared for them to be hidden from the time of God’s wrath. Then the Lord will punish the people of the Earth for their sins. Notice the wording in Paul’s teaching concerning what is commonly called the rapture:

“For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

“For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10


The timing of the Rapture
First, I freely admit that I have no idea when the rapture will occur but based on contemplation, observation, research, and prayer, I feel that it is VERY close – keeping in mind that we’re on God’s timeline and “…a day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.”

Scripture states that, “The facts of the case must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses,” and it is my understanding that this can be applied when using the Bible to support the validity an argument. With this in mind, please consider my first witness concerning the following celestial event described in Revelation 12:1-5:

“And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon (Satan), with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns. His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. She gave birth to a male child (Jesus), one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne…”

In the very beginning of the Bible, at the very beginning of time (Genesis 1:14), God tells us, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years." It should not surprise us then that in the last book of the Bible, near the very end of time (Revelation 12), God uses stars as a sign and indicator of year and day.

According to astronomy computer program stellarium.org, on September 22/23, 2017, the moon will be in position under the feet of Virgo – a virgin (“a woman”), the sun will be over the constellation overlaying it in sunlight ("clothed with the sun"), Jupiter (known as the king planet – Jesus King of Kings) will be between Virgo's legs ("a woman… crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth") and Mercury, Mars, and Venus will be in alignment next to her head, adding three 'stars' to the constellation Leo, forming a crown of twelve above Virgo's head. All four of these events and celestial bodies will be in place on those dates, fitting John's apparent description. This is a notable celestial event.

Adding to that, the third verse makes another celestial observation of the Draco constellation, noting that there is "a great red dragon…before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it.

The constellation Draconis (The Dragon, or Serpent) is also called the red dragon because one of its stars (R Draconis) is a red Mira-type variable star – a pulsating variable star characterized by very red colors. It is a red giant star.

Lastly, in the fifth verse, a reference is made to, “And her child was snatched away from the dragon and was caught up to God and to his throne.”

Strong's Concordance lists “caught up” as the word harpazo:
harpazó: to seize, catch up, snatch away
Original Word: ἁρπάζω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: harpazó
Phonetic Spelling: (har-pad'-zo)
Definition: I seize, snatch, obtain by robbery.

HELPS Word-studies defines harpázō: properly, seize by force; snatch up, suddenly and decisively – like someone seizing bounty (spoil, a prize); to take by an open display of force (i.e. not covertly or secretly).

But, do all of the previously described verses mean that we can know the date of the Rapture? Consider our second witness:

“Now listen and understand! Seven sets of seven plus sixty-two sets of seven will pass from the time the command is given to rebuild Jerusalem until a ruler—the Anointed One—comes. Jerusalem will be rebuilt with streets and strong defenses, despite the perilous times.” Daniel 9:25

Many scholars believe that the seven sets (49 years) and sixty-two sets (434 years) are sequential but my research has led me to believe that these may be two separate events: 1) the sixty-two sets (434 years) being the 398 BC decree to "rebuild Jerusalem" by Artaxerxes II mentioned in Ezra 7:11-26 to what my research leads me to believe was Jesus’ crucifixion in 30 AD; and 2) the seven sets (49 years) being from when Israel decreed the start to "rebuild Jerusalem" on June 6, 1969, two years after the 6-day war, to September 22/23, 2017, EXACTLY seven sets or 49 years. And this happens to be the Feast of Trumpets, the first of the fall feasts that many biblical scholars and others think may be the timing of the Rapture when the “Anointed One comes.” (Jesus – remember Daniel 9:25)

So could the Rapture happen on September 22/23, 2017?

Who is raptured?
For another perspective of the Rapture, all biblically based, look up Scott Clarke at Eternal Rhythm Flow (https://www.youtube.com/user/eternalrhythmflow), watch the video that starts when you log on and the others under “Prophecy Autopsy | Revelation 12 Headquarters – Revelation 12 UNLOCKED! Now is the time to understand the greatest heavenly sign!” Take it for what’s it is worth but Scott postulates that God’s Church is the child in Revelation 12:1-5 and a lot of his video series confirms research that I have done on the subject and also points to a POSSIBLE Rapture of God’s Church in September 2017.

Conclusions
So do these witnesses support the argument of a possible rapture occurring on September 22/23, 2017? Personally I think it may be sooner considering the “signs” but it does propose a compelling argument and once again I’m reminded that we’re on God’s timeline and “a day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.” But we are also admonished, especially considering all that is happening, that “…when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near!”

Lastly
Regardless of when it is, the Rapture is going to happen. Are you ready for it? With that in mind, it is LOVE that leads me to tell you this, not hate – Hate says nothing.

Our sins have separated us from a righteous and holy God, but in His Mercy and love towards us He has made a way of being reunited with Him for all those who seek it. I am talking to you, right here and right now. God has an AMAZING gift for you, it costs you nothing but it caused Him to shed every drop of blood He had so He could purchase it for you. What is it? It’s your salvation.

So what does this mean? You can be saved – RIGHT NOW! Salvation is not a “magic bullet”, a “get out of jail free card”, or some “30 second prayer” someone gets you to pray. Salvation is a legally-binding transaction, as the Bible declares, when you the sinner take your sins to a sinless Savior – Jesus Christ – and you trade your sins for His Righteousness.

Jesus Christ was crucified, died, was buried and rose again on the THIRD DAY according to the Scriptures. He did all that for YOU, to buy your pardon to SET YOU FREE. All you have to do is accept that FREE GIFT. If you accept it, the Bible says the moment you die you will be with Christ in Heaven never to die again. How do YOU accept this free gift? Five simple steps:

1. Admit you are a sinner – Romans 3:23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.
2. Understand that as a sinner, you will die – Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
3. Believe that Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead to save you from sin and death – Romans 10:9-11; 13 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”…For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
4. Receive, in faith through Jesus, his free gift of salvation – Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.
5. Repent by turning from your old life of sin to a new life in Jesus – Acts 3:19-20 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus.

A last thought on the Rapture – Sound like today?
“When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. In those days, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat and the flood came and destroyed them all. And the world will be as it was in the days of Lot. People went about their daily business – eating and drinking, buying and selling, farming and building until the morning Lot left Sodom. Then fire and burning sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. Yes, it will be ‘business as usual’ right up to the day when the Son of Man is revealed.” Luke 17:26-30

[quote=mwdegutis]I believe that judgment is coming because of what happened on December 23 and may be worsened by the scuttlebutt that before Obama leaves office there will be another Obama sponsored UN resolution in place that recognizes a Palestinian state. Although not a 7-year peace treaty, it just brings us that much closer.

Concerning the Psalm 83 war, please understand that this is just MY opinion but I believe that the Psalm 83 War may have already happened in the 1967 Six-Day War…among other things were the Israeli troops were outnumbered almost two and one-half to one. Please read Psalm 83 below and refer to how the “stats” MAY coincide with it.

Concerning Ezekiel 38-39, the players are in place and it’s just a matter of time and may be very close. I and many others are of the opinion that the Rapture may happen just before Ezekiel 38-39 happens or just after it starts. Regardless, I believe that we’re VERY CLOSE.

For another perspective of the Rapture, all biblically based, look up Scott Clarke at Eternal Rhythm Flow (https://www.youtube.com/user/eternalrhythmflow), watch the video that starts when you log on and the others under “Prophecy Autopsy | Revelation 12 Headquarters – Revelation 12 UNLOCKED! Now is the time to understand the greatest heavenly sign!” Take it for what’s it is worth – in my opinion an LOT – only because it confirms research that I have done on the subject and points to a POSSIBLE Rapture in September 2017.

Psalm 83
O God, do not be silent! Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, O God.
Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies? Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?
They devise crafty schemes against your people; they conspire against your precious ones.
“Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation. We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”
Yes, this was their unanimous decision. They signed a treaty as allies against you— these Edomites and Ishmaelites; Moabites and Hagrites; Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites; and people from Philistia and Tyre.
Assyria has joined them, too, and is allied with the descendants of Lot. Interlude
Do to them as you did to the Midianites and as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
They were destroyed at Endor, and their decaying corpses fertilized the soil.
Let their mighty nobles die as Oreb and Zeeb did. Let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna, for they said, “Let us seize for our own use these pasturelands of God!”
O my God, scatter them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind!
As a fire burns a forest and as a flame sets mountains ablaze, chase them with your fierce storm; terrify them with your tempest.
Utterly disgrace them until they submit to your name, O Lord.
Let them be ashamed and terrified forever. Let them die in disgrace.
Then they will learn that you alone are called the Lord, that you alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth.

THE PLAYERS

Thank you for your reply! I watched the video along with others from the sidebar on that same subject. I also signed up for the E-news from Olivetreeministries. There is so much going on at this time involving prophecy from volcanic activity, constant and more severe earthquakes, strange sounds from all over the world, more active occultism than ever, and our country seems to be more divided than ever, and the most important of all is ISRAEL!!! We couldn't live in a more exciting time than this. My husband and I believe that unless something unexpectedly happens to one of us, we will be alive to here our name called 'to come up here'! I enjoy reading others interpretation of Revelation, as long as everyone respects each other's beliefs. I hope there will be more threads like this 😀😀😀

This might be something of interest… br br b u ... (show quote)


My thought. The rapture, 7th sealtrumpetvial all happen at the same time at the 2nd coming. Since no other Christians have been spared from suffering I think it's wishful thinking to think we will. In fact, I think Christians will have a vital role to play prior to Armageddon, the rapture and the 2nd coming, namely, the defense of Israel.

BTW...the passage in Luke sounds exactly like today. Just watch and see what happens. There will be a "two-state solution" soon. If that solution doesn't contain all 4 elements I mentioned we still have time. Once all those things are in place we have 7 years.

Israel's right to exist (somewhere within the land promised to Abraham)

Judea and Samaria (West Bank) given to the Palestinians.

Sharing arrangement for the Temple Mount.

Jerusalem put off until a later date...
