2012: What lies before us

Peace and grace to you in the midst of an extremely turbulent world.

Two prominent “turbulent” news items are:

1.  IT IS GETTING VERY HOT  by Jerry Golden

  Saturday, 17 December 2011 04:58

The heat of the coming war not only went up a few degrees over the past few days, but Obama has once again made a terrible move that endangers not only the Middle East but the entire world. When it looked like Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria were getting ready to attack Israel with over 50,000 missiles - many with chemical warheads - it seems that Russia has positioned herself right in the middle of the action by supplying Syria with ground to sea missiles along their Mediterranean Coastline. This was to counter the US 6^th Fleet that is packed into that area facing off toward Syria. My son Joel just sailed a boat through that area this week on a 3 day trip. To say it isn't safe these days would be an understatement. But thank God he is okay and was covered by thousands of prayers from around the world.

To add kindling to the fire US troops are amassing on the Jordan/Syria border and Bashar Assad has now brought tanks and soldiers to his borders. One with Turkey and the other with Jordan. It's worth noting that Turkey has upset Russia by allowing the US to build an anti-missile base in Turkey. The Russians have openly told the US that they would attack that facility if it wasn't dismantled soon.

Turkey, who in the past year or so has gone out of its way to befriend Syria and Iran, has since discovered that was a mistake. They now find themselves in a situation of having to back up and re-evaluate their position which is not good. Syria and Russia are both Turkey's neighbours!

Syria's Assad is finding it hard to handle the uprising that has turned into a full civil war and wants to find a way out; the only way for a Muslim dictator in this part of the world to unite other Arab Countries is to attack Israel.

The people of Iran, who for the most part want no part of a war with the US or Israel, have found themselves in a very bad situation after the last election. They seem to have lost the will to fight the Islamic regime and have discovered that Obama is no friend . He will not assist them knowing that things look really grim for the near future.

In the meantime Iran is holding Hezbollah and Hamas back from attacking Israel until they are ready for Syria to join in with all their forces at the same time. Iran knows also that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, given a little more time, may control the military there as well. This will place Israel in an even more difficult defensive position.

Many of us have lost count of the US Naval Ships presently cruising the Persian Gulf. They include aircraft carriers and battleships along with submarines. Not to mention Israel's presence there with her submarines. So, with the Eastern Med and the Persian Gulf packed with trigger-happy sailors it only takes one crazy to kick off the third world war.

It is not possible to say with certainty what will happen in the next few days or weeks. It is easy to see what very well could happen. The question is just how it will kick off - and what kind of weapons will be used.

(Psalm 83 and the destruction of Damascus comes some time before the Ezekiel 38-39 War which begins at the middle of the Tribulation. The Psalm 83 war  leads to the rise of the Antichrist bringing in a false peace (although he is only officially - Biblically - designated the Antichrist when he signs a 7-year treaty with Israel), the Rapture occurs between these two wars, the final revival could also begin after this Psalm 83 war coinciding with the death of Billy Graham as prophesied)

2. Financial Panic Sweeps Europe As The Head Of The IMF Warns Of A “1930s Depression” by the Economic Collapse Blog

 Are we on the verge of another Great Depression? Christian Lagarde, the head of the IMF, said this week that if dramatic action is not taken immediately we could actually see conditions "reminiscent of the 1930s depression" and that no country on earth "will be immune to the crisis". Right now, financial panic is sweeping across Europe, but most Americans are not too concerned about it because they simply don't understand how important the EU is. The truth is that the EU has a much larger population than the United States does. The EU has an economy that is nearly as large as the economies of the United States and China combined. The EU has more Fortune 500 companies that the United States does, and the banking system of Europe is substantially larger than the banking system of the United States. Anyone out there that believes that a massive financial collapse in Europe would not dramatically affect the rest of the globe is being delusional. The European debt crisis is one of the biggest stories that we have seen in a long, long time and the coming financial meltdown is going to permanently change the global economy.

So far, politicians in Europe have held 19 high-level emergency meetings in an attempt to solve this crisis.

All of their efforts have failed.

Right now, this is the situation in Europe....

-Most EU governments are drowning in toxic levels of debt

-Bond yields have risen dramatically this year and this has caused borrowing costs for most EU members to soar

-In an attempt to get debt under control, governments all over Europe are implementing brutal austerity measures and this is causing European economies to slow down substantially

-There is a tremendous lack of confidence in the European financial system at this point and this is causing a massive credit crunch

-The credit crunch is causing the money supply to drop significantly in almost every nation in the EU

-Major banks all over Europe are massively overleveraged and are on the verge of failing

This is all so similar to what we saw back during the early 1930s.

In fact, things have gotten so bad that prominent world leaders are now using apocalyptic language when describing the situation in Europe.

Just check out what the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, recently said about Europe. Speaking at a State Department conference in Washington D.C. this week, Lagarde made the following very shocking statements....

*"The world economic outlook at the moment is not particularly rosy. It is quite gloomy"

*"There is no economy in the world, whether low-income countries, emerging markets, middle-income countries or super-advanced economies that will be immune to the crisis that we see not only unfolding but escalating"

*"It is not a crisis that will be resolved by one group of countries taking action. It is going to be hopefully resolved by all countries, all regions, all categories of countries actually taking action."

*"No country or region is immune. All must take action to boost growth. Work must start in the eurozone countries and must continue relentlessly. The risks of inaction include protectionism, isolation and other elements reminiscent of the 1930s depression."

*"This is exactly the description of what happened in the 1930s, and what followed is not something we are looking forward to."

But didn't the politicians in Europe recently reach a deal which was supposed to fix all this?

Well, unfortunately the deal basically did nothing to fix the underlying financial problems that Europe is facing.

In fact, global financial markets seem entirely unimpressed by this recent deal. A recent article by Professor Peter Morici detailed some of the problems with the deal....

Investors are rejecting the euro deal, because the agreement does not effectively meet the funding needs of Italy and other Mediterranean governments, address the weak balance sheets of European commercial banks, or fix the underlying structural flaws in the euro architecture.

The €440 billion European Financial Stability Facility is providing short-term funding—guaranteed by 17 Eurozone member states as a whole—to tide over the more troubled governments.

(This is the beginning of the final stages of the Revived Roman Empire and One World Government headed by the Antichrist. This means that our Lord’s coming is near!) Remember the significance of both these events. The Antichrist arises from Europe and the False Prophet arises from Israel, bringing in a false peace after the uproar after Damascus is destroyed by Israel.

Probable order of coming events:

1. Middle-East "Psalm 83 War" (Israel and Syria are key players)
2. Europe's economic collapse and the US's economic collapse a fews weeks thereafter
3. Rise of Antichrist from Europe together with False Prophet from Israel bringing a 'false peace' in the aftermath of the coming Middle-East Crisis. This will tie in with eventual economic control and new world order by introducing a chip for all. No one can buy or sell without this chip. This will only be fully implemented during the Tribulation which comes after the Rapture.

4. Tying in with the Psalm 83 War, the final revival begins and ends with the rapture of the church before the Antichrist signs a 7-year treaty with Israel.

FRAUD [Excerpt from the Sequel to the above new release, 'Living Laodicea']

One of the signs of the times often overlooked today is fraud. James tells us that fraud comes just before the latter rain, the move of God that we have been expecting for decades.

The signs of the times are more that general trends in these end-times. Rather, they are things which comes to the centre stage of world headlines and take the media spotlight.

Today, fraud is centre stage. We see the stripping of bankrupt nations like Greece and the dramatic increase of corporate insolvent bankruptcies throughout much of the Western nations. Indeed, these are perilous times and times in which we should not be taking big risks in our investments.

There seems to be a small group of people in the last of the last days who are dominated by greed and a love of money. They defraud the masses to enrich themselves.

Let us consider what James said.

JAMES 5:1-8

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for

your miseries that are coming upon

you!

Your riches are corrupted, and your

garments are moth-eaten.

Your gold and silver are corroded, and

their corrosion will be a witness against you

and will eat your flesh like fire. You have

heaped up treasure in the last days.

Indeed the wages of the labourers who

mowed your fields, which you kept back by

fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers

have reached the ears of the Lord of the Sabaoth.

You have lived on the earth in pleasure

and luxury; you have fattened your hearts

as in a day of slaughter.

you have condemned, you have mur-

dered the just; he does not resist you.

Therefore be patient, brethren, until the

coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits

for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting

patiently for it until it receives the early and

latter rain.

You also be patient. Establish your

hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

We have seen the rise of large banks which were bailed out by governments, the rise of technocrats – bankers -  to head up nations in Europe and the beginnings of globalism with bankers taking more and more of a prominent role.

Fraud thrives in darkness. It hides in the shadows and hates the light. It shows forth the opposite character of transparency. Transparency and integrity are closely related.

Fraud often goes hand-in-hand with insolvent bankruptcies. Both businesses and nations fall in this manner.

Consider the fraud which often rears its head in an insolvent company which goes into bankruptcy. What happens is that the directors seek to keep the business alive as long as possible as this is beneficial to them. However, investors or creditors would like to see the business shut down as soon as it becomes insolvent as their loss increases from the point of insolvency. Creditors and investors are defrauded by directors who seek their own interests which is really their own enrichment. In this way, companies are stripped or financially raped. Directors take out as much as they can in the good years using the capital of investors and take much as they can out of the company when it collapses leaving the investors and creditors with huge losses.

Recently, a new Company Act has been introduced in South Africa which prohibits companies from trading while insolvent. This is a good thing as it helps to root out fraud and corruption (through loopholes in the law) in a time in which it is rife globally.

A few years ago, the National Credit Act was put into legislation to limit credit and to protect South Africans from falling into the black hole of debt. This also was a loophole used by unscrupulous business people which has been closed.  A third piece of legislation, the Consumer Protection Act, has also been recently introduced into South African law to protect citizens from unscrupulous businessmen.

It seems that from this passage, judgment on these fraudsters is imminent. The whole global financial system is on the brink of collapse and the collapse will affect both the fraudsters and those defrauded. Even believers will be defrauded. According to this Scripture, believers will also suffer from this fraud unless the Lord so chooses to keep them from it. The Scriptures declare that the Antichrist will eventually come from a new unified Europe, bringing the stronger centralized approach to the rest of the world.

Just as the extent of the fraud is much worse if a company is insolvent for a long time before bankruptcy, so too ‘kicking the can down the road’ for a country will have much worse consequences that simply quickly defaulting. No countries are taking the default option. Instead, they print more money and accept more bailouts and asset-stripping, moving deeper and deeper into debt.

Sometimes, it is recklessness. Other times, fraud. Both recklessness and fraud will cost us dearly. Investors and creditors lose heavily in failing companies and the taxpayer takes up the tab in bankrupt nations.

How do we - believers - respond to this? ....

Knowing Him both as Jehovah and Elohim

By DN Hoets

All born-again believers have a personal relationship with Jesus. However, knowing Him deeply and having
a stable, solid relationship comes only to the extent that we have become established in the classical Christian foundation. Here we begin to truly know Him as Jehovah.

All believers have also received Him as Elohim i.e as the Creator (In the beginning God) of the universe. However, many have not understood the fullness of knowing Him as Elohim. He is our Sovereign Lord and all the end-time events such as earthquakes are in His hand. Satan can only do that which he is permitted to. Satan is a dog on a leash!
Learning to receive all things from His (God's) hand is only possible if we have a deeper revelation of Him as Elohim. Receiving all things from His hand (taking up His cross) is essential if we are to truly abide in Him, grow up in the things of God and to overcome in the end-times.

We need to know Him both as Jehovah and Elohim; not just as Jehovah or only as Elohim as unbelievers do.

Haggai: the Book of Tomorrow

By DN Hoets

Haggai has been an important book to me over the years as it gives clarity to the last of the last days. I have spent much time before the Lord in this little book of two chapters.

Where are we today? In Haggai 2: 21-22. Here the Lord says ,

I will shake heaven (first - climate change - and second heaven) and earth (compare with Haggai 1: 6-9)
I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms (Arab uprisings)
I will destroy the strength (United States- this can be seen to be broader than only the US) of the Gentile kingdoms.
I will overthrow the chariots
And those who ride in them;
The horses and their riders shall come down,
Every one by the sword of his brother. (indicates a more violent civil war outcome of uprisings)

I will... make you as a signet ring.

I see that the falling of the United States as a world empire is sandwiched between the second and forth I will. In other words, it takes place during the time of the Arab uprisings. The economic meltdown will affect ALL nations as all things in the book of Haggai are global in nature. Haggai 1:6 gives us the clue to the economic impact of what is to come and to hyper-inflation as the key problem. In other words, the dollar becomes worthless.

This is already taking place as we come to Passover this year with the US debt being center stage of world headlines as well as gold and silver reaching record highs; the dollar reaching record lows.

Some of you may be asking? Will God protect me if I invest in silver and gold? Although there is some truth in that oil, gold and silver are the best performers during hyperinflation - I believe even gold and silver will eventually be shaken. 'The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine' (Haggai 2:8) refers to the 'buy from Me gold' in Revelation 3. God has never sought a wealthy end-time church but one which has the true foundation as given in the rock-solid Classical Christian foundation and which is full of His glory... only made possible by what our Lord Jesus did for us on Calvary centuries ago, purchasing us by His own Blood...

Heavenly Perspective

By DN Hoets

Just a short while ago, the nations of the earth have been shaken by the Great Recession. Many nations are still in a fragile state and are still in the process of recovering.

Once again, fear and uncertainty grips the world as another great earthquake and a likely nuclear meltdown in Japan unfolds. This fear and uncertainty comes forth clearly in the financial markets. Iran (together with Syria) seek nuclear weapons with the intent to destroy Israel, wars (Libya) and rumours of wars abound (Arab nations) affecting the oil price and inflation, as the earth trembles in the last of the last days.

Haggai spoke of the worldwide shaking that would begin before the coming glory at the end of the age. The Lord Himself spoke of five signs in Matthew 24 and two signs in Luke 21 which would increase in intensity and magnitude like birth pangs before His return.

While these signs are a humbling call for the lost to repent and to turn to Jesus Christ, believers are not to be troubled but to lift up their heads for our redemption draws near. We are to have a heavenly perspective and not to fear. This perspective has often been marred by the church and really needs to be grasped in these turbulent times. The rock-solid Classical Christian foundation brings forth this heavenly perspective that we need to be established in and will keep us rooted and unshaken in our Sovereign Lord Jesus who has the whole world in His hands.

Special Bulletin by Rick Joyner: Japanese Earthquake, A Prophetic Demarcation in Time

In this Video Special Bulletin, Rick Joyner shares about the Japanese earthquake, which was prophesied 22 years ago, and how this event signifies the beginning of a worldwide economic meltdown. Rick also shares about another massive earthquake that has been prophesied to hit the west coast sometime after the Japanese shaking. The unraveling of the American economy is coming, and we must prepare. However, this does not mean we are without hope. This is a wake up call for us, and we can wake up to perhaps one of the greatest opportunities in history for good to triumph over evil. (Bob Jones 22 years ago)

Watch the video by Rick Joyner by following this link. (Script .. more)

David Wilkerson in The Vision 1974: The US is going to experience, in the not-too-distant future, the most tragic earthquake in its history... Another earthquake, possibly in Japan, may precede the one that I am seeing coming here.... there is worldwide economic confusion just ahead... I see total economic confusion striking Europe first and then affecting Japan, the United States, Canada, and all other nations shortly thereafter.

A lot of what David Wilkerson saw years ago was not really fulfilled in the past Great Recession. However, it seems that it is a double-dip recession and the second dip is just ahead!

Aftershock (emailed by Charisma)

Pat Robertson's Prophecies for 2011
The word was in 2012 the man who is going to be elected president, will preside over quote, "an impoverished nation" – it's hard to believe that could happen, but it can quickly.

"Your country is in grave peril. The leaders have hearkened to the demands of interest groups and have led your nation into bankruptcy. In two years will come a time of reckoning." "Your creditors will demand payment and there will not be enough to satisfy their claims. Your currency will shrink in value, your bonds will lose value, people on fixed incomes will suffer, unemployment will escalate, and there will be turmoil."
