End of Days

So how close are we to the end of days? I am not able at this time to disclose exact times and dates of the end. However, I feel with enough coffee in my system I should be able to reach the apex of prophetic timetable equations to intelligently disclose these dates with pin point accuracy sometime at or just after 21 December 2012 The fact that this date is the end of the Mayan calendar is coincidental. Eh hem. That's me clearing my throat in Hebrew. Actually, 2012 is the year I am eligible for Social Security. The government will go to no lengths to make sure I don't get any of my money back!

Seriously, I feel we are so close that I should be marking off days on my calendar. So far, I believe that the first three seals in Revelation have already been opened, and we shall most likely see the fourth open at or shortly after the 21st of December of 2012. The first seal, a white horse, was opened on 9/11/2001. The second seal, a red horse, opened 26 days later when America officially entered Afghanistan, and Iraq in March of 2003. The third seal, a black horse, was opened in September of 2008 when Wall street collapsed effecting the entire world.

Before the anti-messiah can rise to power he must make a covenant that will rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. If my calculations are correct--I may be one coffee cup short of being right--we may see that very thing done on the 16th of March 2010. This is an 18th century prophecy by a rabbi, which the Israelites are taking very seriously. They intend to rededicate a very old synagogue next march in anticipation of this prophecy coming to fruition. The construction of the altar, a very important detail of the Temple, was begun last July 2009 on Tisha B' Av. All they need is a Red Heifer to cleanse the priests. Another Rabbi last year predicted that there would be no more mourning by the following Tisha B'Av, which is a day of fasting and mourning for the destruction of the first and second Temple, among other disasters that happened to the Jews on this date in history. The next Tisha B'Av will be in July of 2010.

I feel reasonably sure that the end, and by that I mean the beginning, should take place in 2017. I can't be more specific than that. I'm not going to put a day or an hour on this puppy. When it's time then the last Shofar (trumpet) is going to sound and the Lord is going to descend with a shout, the dead in Messiah will raise and then the living will go up to meet the Lord in the air. The question I have is, "Am I going to be going up first or second? I don't really worry about myself--too much. I worry a lot about my family. I hope my family loves God more than the world. That's the only thing that is going to save them through one of the most horrific times this world has ever witnessed. So, family, I love you. I hope you can count on God's grace and His love to get you through, because I truly believe that my generation will not pass away until all of what is recorded in the book of Revelation comes to pass.

This is a very exciting time of life. We are seeing, if you are looking, prophecy unfolding right before our eyes. We are told to WATCH by the Lord because you can only see these things with eyes open to spiritual truth. So WATCH for the construction of the Temple, and count off seven years to the end. We are going to be asked by God during this time a very important question. How much do you love Me? Shalom.
