Bill Barilko disappeared that summer,
he was on a fishing trip.
The last goal he ever scored
won the Leafs the cup
They didn't win another until 1962,
the year he was discovered.
I stole this from a hockey card,
I keep tucked up under
my fifty mission cap, I worked it in
to look like that

Boston Marathon tragedy word of encouragement from RICK JOYNER.
http://youtu.be/kNxP93K6ShY
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord ’s favor has come. ” He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. All eyes in the synagogue looked at him intently. Then he began to speak to them. “The Scripture you’ve just heard has been fulfilled this very day!” (Luke 4:18-21 NLT)

INEPTOCRACY
  MorningStar Prophetic Bulletin #76 - April 16, 2013
Rick Joyner
Prophetic Bulletins
         We think in words. For this reason, words have been the most powerful social force on earth, changing nations, forming cultures, and dismantling them. Dictionaries help establish the definitions of words, and a friend sent me this one that had recently been added to one of America’s foremost word authorities. This is the definition:
Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
          Could what has been happening in America be said any better? As one popular social comedian recently observed, “We now have more people riding in the wagon than we have pulling the wagon.” Very true, and each day many more are getting in the wagon than are helping to pull it. It is a tribute to those who are still pulling that our economy is moving at all, but as this trend continues, there is a point at which there will not be enough to keep the wagon moving. We are already at the place where any little hill or obstacle could stop it.
          In my last Bulletin, I raised the question about if democracy in America had failed. It has. It did not have to, and it may yet be recovered, but at this time it is broken, and our Federal government is bankrupt by any viable standard. One would think everyone would be declaring this, telling the emperor the very obvious fact that he doesn’t have any clothes on, but there is an amazing veil of delusion covering him up.
          Our government has failed because we did the very things the Founding Fathers said the Republic could not survive doing. They were right. We could limp along for a while yet, but economic physics confirm that the party will soon be over. So what do we do?
          First, we build our lives on the kingdom that can never fail. We do this by obeying the principles of the coming kingdom. These principles have been well proven every time to work and not fail. What are they? How can we implement them now? These are the most important questions we can be asking at this time.
          The principles of the kingdom are simple, and we will address the important basics of the kingdom in a coming Bulletin, but you don’t have to wait for that. You have the same source we do. We can be, and should be, living in the kingdom right now that can never be shaken. When the whole world falls apart, those who have built their lives on the kingdom will not fall apart, but stand as great lights to the whole world, just as we are promised in such places as Hebrews 12, Daniel 2, and Isaiah 60.

 

Preparing for Collapse
          Some will interpret what I’m saying that I believe the American Republic is doomed, but that is not the case. Though a collapse of our currency, and likely our government, is becoming inevitable, we could yet turn back before going over the precipice. However, “If you do not change your direction, you will end up where you are headed,” and that is where we are headed. We should not give up on the possibility of being spared this tragedy, but at present we’re not changing our direction, and we’re speeding up as we get closer to the cliff. Only the most blind or foolish are not earnestly preparing for the crash.
          If the crash happens, there is still the possibility of recovery. There also will be a real possibility of chaos and tyranny like America has never known. This could be permanent, or it could just be for a time until there is a recovery of order. Then, if we have learned the lessons and have returned to the Lord to seek His grace, we could end up better and stronger than ever. The key word here is “IF.”
          At this writing, there does not seem to be leadership on the horizon that can turn us back from this pending catastrophe, but one could be raised up in a day. Even more than leadership, there is something even more fundamental to restoring the Republic if we are going to remain a Republic and not fall to the tyranny we are headed for.
          The Founding Fathers warned that the Republic could only be maintained by a moral and religious people. They assured us we could not survive as a Republic with the kind of moral meltdown that we are now suffering and the departure from a core religious devotion that we have had. We have not only lost these, but the nation has become increasingly hostile to those of faith. Without another Great Awakening, we will not survive as a Republic much longer. The good news is that there are signs of another Great Awakening coming.

The Foundations Are Burning
          A couple of years ago, I had a vivid dream of America. In the dream, America was a log cabin, and every room in the cabin was a different part of America. I was being taken through it on a guided tour of each room. As we were going, little fires would break out, which my guides would just stamp out and continue on as if this was normal. I was very disturbed by this, so I looked through one of the holes that had been burned through the floor to see what was causing the fires. I was astonished to see the entire foundation of the house on fire. I knew that the entire house was either very close to collapse or exploding into flames. This is our present condition, and we do not have much time left.
          In this dream, I wanted to run from the house. I was told not to run but to grab a hose and put the fire out. This gave me the courage to think that the fire could yet be put out, and the house could yet be preserved without total destruction.
          In Scripture, water often represents the Word of God, and this dream indicates that this is the only thing that can save us. Even as far as we have drifted from morality and religion, over 90 percent of Americans still believe in God, and over 65 percent claim to be born-again Christians. If these are awakened, we could yet survive. We would still need to do a lot of work to restore what has been consumed in our foundations, but that would be much better than losing the entire house with all that is in it.

A New Day Will Dawn
          The good news is that the kingdom is coming with or without America. It would be much easier for the whole world for America to remain as a fortress for freedom such as it has been, but the kingdom will come regardless.
           We are told that the foundations of the Lord’s throne are righteousness and justice (see Psalm 89:14). Righteousness is doing what is right in the sight of the Lord, not man. What is now “politically correct” is in direct conflict with God’s Word. In Galatians 1:10, the Apostle Paul said that if he were still trying to please men, he would not be a bondservant of Christ. The same is true for us. We must all determine whether we will live to please the Lord or men. We cannot do both. As the apostle also affirmed, we will all stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ to give an account (see II Corinthians 5:10).
           Between one-third and one-half of the teachings on righteousness in Scripture are devoted to economics. It was to the degree that America aligned with the principles that we experienced economic prosperity. As we have departed from them, the shaking began and will continue until we either realign with them or collapse. While we were aligned, we were the greatest creditor nation in history. As soon as we turned from the basic principles of biblical righteousness, we went into debt and we now have the biggest debt in the history of the world. The Scriptures are true, and they are always true.
           The kingdom will come either way, and it will bring the whole world into alignment to what is right and works best for everyone. Justice must work with righteousness because it is not right if it does not treat everyone fairly, with everyone playing by the same rules.
            Our economic shaking began because we got out of alignment with what is right and just on both ends—at the top and at the bottom. This is what the Founders warned about. They fear both the tyranny of a king (the top) and the tyranny of the mob (the bottom), and set up firewalls to keep both of these in check. When these firewalls were torn down, the inevitable shaking began.
            The Founders were not so brilliant in their architecture of the new government because they foresaw the modern economic system that has evolved, but because they knew basic human nature that is the same today as it was in their times. The Founders had a remarkable insight into the sources of tyranny from the top or the bottom of society. They had been subjected to the oppression of King George and had witnessed the horrors of mob that fueled The French Revolution.
            The kingdom is coming because the King is going to come. He is both righteous and just. As the Scriptures affirm, He is not just going to restore righteous and just government throughout the earth. He is going to restore the earth to the paradise it was originally created to be so that even the lion will lie down with the lambs, and children will be able to play with cobras, and no one will hurt anyone else. We have been given a hope that is greater than any other religion or philosophy every conceived, and it is a sure hope that will surely come to pass.
           When we begin to see the kingdom, it is very hard not to be bored with everything going on in the earth. However, we must get engaged to be faithful to our calling, to be salt and light in this world, and to help prepare the way for the Lord and His coming kingdom.
           Nothing in the whole creation will ever be as interesting as the Creator, and nothing in this world will ever be as interesting as His kingdom, but we have a duty. He so cares about this world that He has declared that He is going to make His home on earth and dwell on earth among men. Just thinking about this makes it hard to think about anything else, but we do have work to do to prepare for Him. In Matthew 6:31-34, the King gave us some important instructions:
        “Do not be anxious then, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or 'What shall we drink?’ or ‘With what shall we clothe ourselves?’
        “For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
        “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
        “Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.” 
          We must be resolved to seek the kingdom first. He promises that if we will do this, everything else will be taken care of. Anxiety is a desperate enemy of those who are called to walk by faith, not by fear. Those who are building their lives on His kingdom have the peace of God, which the world cannot even comprehend.
           Never lose your peace. After the election last year, a terrible anxiety came upon many Christians. We must never let this happen again. The Prince of Peace will never lead us with anxiety, so anything we do out of anxiety will not be right. The only word I was given after the election was Psalm 37. It is a remarkable message about this. Read it and be comforted, and resolve that you will never let anything steal your peace.
    Do not fret (worry, be anxious) because of evildoers, be not envious toward wrongdoers.
    For they will wither quickly like the grass and fade like the green herb.
    Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
    Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart.
    Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He will do it.
    He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and your judgment as the noonday.
    Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
    Cease from anger and forsake wrath; do not fret, it leads only to evildoing.
    For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.
    Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more; and you will look carefully for his place, and he will not be there.
    But the humble will inherit the land and will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
    The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes at him with his teeth.
    The Lord laughs at him; for He sees his day is coming.
    The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow to cast down the afflicted and the needy, to slay those who are upright in conduct.
    Their sword will enter their own heart, and their bows will be broken.
    Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many wicked.
    For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord sustains the righteous.
    The Lord knows the days of the blameless, and their inheritance will be forever.
    They will not be ashamed in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they will have abundance.
    But the wicked will perish; and the enemies of the Lord will be like the glory of the pastures, they vanish—like smoke they vanish away.
     The wicked borrows and does not pay back, but the righteous is gracious and gives.
     For those blessed by Him will inherit the land, but those cursed by Him will be cut off.
     The steps of a man are established by the Lord, and He delights in his way.
     When he falls, he shall not be hurled headlong, because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.
     I have been young, and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, or his descendants begging bread.
     All day long he is gracious and lends, and his descendants are a blessing.
     Depart from evil and do good, so you will abide forever.
     For the Lord loves justice, and does not forsake His godly ones; they are preserved forever; but the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.
     The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.
     The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
     The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slip.
     The wicked spies upon the righteous and seeks to kill him.
     The Lord will not leave him in his hand or let him be condemned when he is judged.
     Wait for the Lord and keep His way, and He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
     I have seen a wicked, violent man spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.
     Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more; I sought for him, but he could not be found.
     Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright; for the man of peace will have a posterity.
     But transgressors will be altogether destroyed; the posterity of the wicked will be cut off.
     But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
     He is their strength in time of trouble.
     The Lord helps them and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked, and saves them, because they take refuge in Him.
A Psalm of David, for a memorial.
 

          We might sum this up by saying, “Be Happy. Don’t worry,” because the kingdom of God is at hand.

Tetrad lunar eclipses 2014-2015 explanation by Mark Blitz.
http://youtu.be/axrEbaC8YGU
http://youtu.be/MYN_9w1N-C0
Walking in the Spirit award of wisdom from John Fenn


Today we have a conference
Today we seek formulas; in the Bible they sought God. Fall in love with the Father and Jesus more than you love the lie, and you'll soon, perhaps gradually even, un-believe the lie by getting to know Love. Spend the time and expend the effort needed to know the Father and our Lord as a lifestyle, not a project. Build a relationship with the Father from within, talk to Him at every occasion - ask 'What do you think of what they said Father?' and 'What do you think about that Father?' and 'Thanks for a beautiful morning Father' and 'Good morning Father, do you have anyone you want me to pray for?' and such - initiate the conversation.

I passed a threshold years ago in my battle with temptations. I didn't say I am perfect, I said I passed a threshold. For years I viewed temptation the standard 'Word of faith' way which goes like this: "Jesus quoted the Word against the devil, so that's all you need to do."

I wish it were that easy, but it does no good quoting the Word if hiding behind that Word is a flesh that still likes to sin.

I hated that grievance, that guilt, that sense of 'here I go again' after sin. One day I realized I loved the fellowship with Him more than I loved the sin. Out of my mouth came, 'Why should I sin and break this wonderful fellowship I have with the Father, and grieve my spirit?'

That was a turning point for me - I had looked into the mirror and saw what I could become. Truly the Mirror is the same, but our reflection changes from glory to glory as we continue therein, by the Spirit.

The coming Tetrad of Lunar Eclipses (known as blood moons)

This article concerns a topic first espoused by a Christian Hebrew Gentleman by the name of Mark Blitz.  He ties the coming tetrad of lunar eclipses to the soon coming of the Lord Jesus Christ at the 2nd Advent.  This coming tetrad occurs in the Gregorian calendar years 2014 through 2015.  As a result of this, many thought the rapture could occur in 2008.  They subtracted 7 years from 2015 when the end of the tetrad occurred.  Great significance of this tetrad was given because it aligned with the Jewish Feast days.  I still believe that this tetrad needs to be studied further.  The matching of the Jewish holidays and the patterns to be shown below are so well aligned that it can not be and should not be ignored.

Terms you need to know before we continue.

Tetrad  
When four consecutive lunar eclipses are all total eclipses, the group is known as a tetrad.
Saros Cycle
The Saros Cycle is an eclipse cycle with a period of about 18 years 11 days 8 hours (approximately 65851/3 days) that can be used to predict eclipses of the Sun and Moon.  One cycle after and eclipse, the Sun, Earth, and Moon return to approximately the same relative geometry, and a nearly identical eclipse will occur west of the original location.
Nissan
The first month of the Jewish Religious Year which occurs in the spring time.    Passover Occurs on the 15th day of this month.
Passover
The Hebrew feast day commemorating the Lamb Sacrifice in Exodus where the Angel of Death passed over Israel while the firstborn in Egypt were slain.   It also is the same day the Lord Jesus Christ, our lamb sacrifice for sins, was crucified.
Tishri
Tishri is the seventh month of the religious year for Israel and the first month of the civil year for Israel.  This month holds the feasts of Rosh Hashanah,  Yom Kippur,  and Tabernacles (also known as Sukkoth).
Rosh Hashanah
This is a two day feast occurring on Tishri 1 and Tishri 2 of the Hebrew calendar.   This is also called the feast of trumpets.   A lot of people believe this feast day is tied to the rapture of the Christian Church prior to the start of the tribulation.) 
Yom Kippur
This is known as the day of atonement. It is considered to be one of the most important of Jewish Holidays of the year.   It is a day set aside to atone for the sins of the past year. It occurs on the 10th day of Tishri.  It is found in Leviticus 23:26-32. 
Sukkoth (Tabernacles)
The feast of Sukkoth begins on Tishri 15, the fifth day of Yom Kippur.  It is a joyous feast day while Yom Kippur is one of the most solemn of feast days.  Sukkoth is a feast day with a festival atmosphere.  It marks a season of rejoicing.   Sukkoth means booths and refers to temporary dwelling places the Jews gather into during this holiday.  Most Christian Scholars believe the feast of Sukkoth is the feast for the 2nd Advent of the Lord Jesus Christ when he returns with his saints on white horses at Armageddon.
Av
Av is the fifth month of the Hebrew Calendar.  It is a time of mourning for the Jews. There are two festivals that are in Av.  On the 9th and on the 15th.  On the 9th of Av is Tisha B'av which is a sad day when Jews fast.  It recalls the two temples being destroyed and commemorates other tragic events throughout Jewish History.  The other festival which happens in Av is Tu B'av.  This is a happy occasion in which couples traditionally get together to arrange their wedding.

The coming blood moons of 2014 through 2015.

This is the only tetrad in the near future that aligns itself with the Jewish holidays.   One should make mention here that there are tetrads occurring as well.   One tetrad occurred in 2003 - 2004.  Future ones other than the 2014 - 2015 are found in 2032-2033, 2043-2044, 2050-2051, 2061-2062, 2072-2073, and 2090-2091.  The difference between these tetrads and the 2014 - 2015 tetrad is that this tetrad aligns with the Jewish holidays and the others do not.

The Tetrad of 1949 through 1950    Tied to the rebirth of the nation of Israel.  Declared May 14, 1948.  
It should be noted here that even though Israel declared themselves a nation in 1948,  The first permanent government takes office on Jan 25, 1949.  Israel had a transitional government in 1948.   In this way the tetrad can tie to the year 1949 for the first elected office of that year and the birth year still be 1948.

The banking community started to go into collapse in the United States in August 2008.   This has led to the almost total collapse of the world banking system.  This event alone will set up the stage for a one world monitory system just in time for the soon arrival of the Antichrist.    Note also that the Saros Cycles for the 3 AV eclipses increment by tenwhich is the number of the Gentiles.    I do not believe this means we are in the tribulation.  I do believe we will see things occur in succession throughout the Gentile world that will make way for the soon arrival of the Antichrist. 
Also the Rosh Hashanah 2008 which on September 29, 2008 by coincidence again fell 777points.  Another end time number.

Putting everything into perspective.

The above does not mean that the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ at Tabernacles has to occur on Tabernacles 2015.   We already know that if you have a seven year tribulation the return year of 2015 is too soon.   What the above taken as a whole does show a pattern.    The first tetrad of 1493 is tied to the Spanish Government expelling the Jews.   The second tetrad is the nation Israel being reborn.     The third tetrad is the recapture of Jerusalem.    The fourth will be tied to some major event dealing with Israel.  One could speculate that the next major thing to take place for Israel is the restart of the daily sacrifices and the rebuilding of the temple.   If that is the case one could see the following table.
First Tetrad of 1493-1494Jewish DispersionThe Jews being scattered.
Second Tetrad of 1949-1950Israel becoming a Nation againThe start of the re-gathering of Israel
Third Tetrad of 1967-19686th Day WarIsrael gaining control of Jerusalem
Fourth Tetrad of 2014-2015 Major event dealing with IsraelCould be tied to the start of the building of the temple
  Could be tied to the start of the tribulation
  Could be tied to a major war in the Middle East dealing with Israel
  No one will know for sure till it happens. 
The problem with putting events together to point to the second advent of the Lord Jesus Christ does not necessarily make it so.  
One can look at the pattern above and with the use of Scripture to see what is in the near future we know the following.
A seven year tribulation period is about to occur.
A Pre-tribulation Rapture is close at hand.
The world is going through an economic upheaval which will make things ready for the Antichrist.
Israel became a nation in 1948 and going with the maximum 70 year generation we get 2018 when everything should come to pass.   That makes the year 2011 as a good year for the rapture, and only that is speculation for we can not determine the years exactly for the phrase "this generation shall not pass away" found in the scriptures dealing with end times.
(Luke 21:32) Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
We know that the rapture is soon.
I believe that the tetrad of 2014 through 2015 will have something to do with Israel for the start, or middle of the tribulation period.  The Jews require a sign.   If it does line up with Israel fleeing into the wilderness, Israel will see the eclipses occurring on their feast days to show them that the time for their redemption is near.
One last note:
You have the 777 mentioned dealing with the banking system on Rosh Hashanah 2008.   You may be asking where is the 666 in the equation?   So glad you asked.
Notice that the Saros Cycle for the 2014-2015 Tetrad is changed from the Saros Cycle found in the tetrad for 1949 and for 1967.   If we add up the Saros cycle for 2014-2015 we get the following.    122 + 127 + 132 + 137  =  518.    We know that the world worships the sun.  If we were to take the first Solar eclipse 2014 we get the solar eclipse of Apr 29 2014.  It has a saros cycle of 148.  If you were to add that to 518 you get 666.  That only occurs because of the change in Saros cycle from the previous tetrads.    It really does not mean anything literally; but, it is just another one of those coincidences in this Tetrad pattern.   It does not take a rocket scientist to see the patterns pointing to the soon coming of the Rapture. The soon coming of the Antichrist.  The soon coming of the Tribulation Period.  Followed by the soon coming of the Lord Jesus Christ at the second advent.
In Conclusion
As just noted, the rapture and the tribulation are coming soon.  Even if we leave the Tetrads alone we know that a generation is at most 70 years.  We need to be looking up.   The Tetrads will be a sign for Israel more than likely in the tribulation period.  They will have Moses And Elijah to tell that them what it means.
I am not setting a date for the rapture based on this article.  I do believe that when you see lightning or hear thunder you know the storm is approaching.   The way these feasts and eclipses line up shows us that the time of the end is definitely near.  It is time to get off your comfortable chairs and get busy for the Lord Jesus Christ.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES



Altar of prayer



 
This is a longer article than usual, but felt for some of you it might be beneficial as another perspective of what is happening and about to happen in the Middle East and the world. It iswritten by David Dolan and I hope will ultimately stir us to prayer as it is obvious the times in which we live are prophetic indeed.

Shalom from Jerusalem

Last year, I sent out to my large email list some of my salient thoughts concerning the possible prophetic significance of the dramatic events that have been unfolding in recent years here in the turbulent Middle East and elsewhere on planet earth. Specifically I wrote about the so-called "Arab Spring" (which I labeled an "Islamic Fundamentalist Spring" in some of my public talks delivered near the start of the wave of revolts in early 2011), and its possible political, social and prophetic implications for Israel and the rest of the world.

Today—the last day of Passover, and a very dusty one here—I want to mainly focus on the prophetic side of the sharp tremors increasingly rocking this region. I realize that among my many thousands of Israel News Update subscribers are some who either do not believe in the God of the Bible, or do believe but are Orthodox or non practicing Jews who do not agree with my personal belief that Jesus (Yeshua in Hebrew) is Israel’s Messiah King. From the correspondence I receive, I also know that some of my readers are Muslims or members of other religions, with others professing to be atheists or agnostics. A few have written very angry notes in the past when I’ve (very infrequently) written about my personal religious beliefs or about my prophetic end time novels.

 
DARK MOONS ON THE HORIZON

 

 
For anyone still reading J this message, I want to focus this time on the upcoming cycle of lunar eclipses that scientists inform us will coincide with the first evening of Passover during the next two years, and also with the first night of the Feast of Tabernacles in 2014 and 2015. I have never before spoken or written about this rather rare and unique occurrence, which is known to scientists as a Tetrad; when four consecutive full lunar eclipses take place in the skies above planet Earth.While scientists note it is fairly uncommon for this phenomenon to occur, it is even rarer for all four of the total consecutive eclipses to coincide with the full moons that signal the beginning of the two annual Feasts of the Lord. In fact, they say it has only occurred seven times since the era when Yeshua ministered on earth just before the Roman destruction of the Holy Temple here in Jerusalem and the subsequent scattering of the Jewish people from the land. However, after several centuries when no such Tetrads took place at all, there have been no less than two since 1949, with a third cycle beginning next Passover. Scientists say it will be the only Tetrad taking place on the biblical feast for the rest of this century. So a remarkable three such Tetrads are taking place in the space of just 70 years after centuries with none at all. I have been receiving increasing inquiries about my views on this intriguing topic, and thus this special message is being sent out to you. Please feel free to discard it, post it, forward it, ignore it, publish it, or whatever else you might wish to do.
 
I first became aware of the Tetrads connected to the biblical feasts about five years ago when talking with Mark Blitz, who heads a congregation near Tacoma Washington where I have spoken several times. From checking out NASA’s web site, he had earlier noticed the previous Tetrads that coincided with the biblical feasts, including one that took place just as the Jews of Spain were being forcibly expelled from that land in 1494, at the end of the horrific Spanish Inquisition. Mark had also shared this information with my friend and journalist colleague Bill Koenig, who wrote about it on his popular website, which was then picked up by World Net Daily and other media outlets.

 
By the way, I first met Bill in Dallas in the early 1990s where I shared some information that he later included in his book, Eye to Eye: Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel. The weather information, which was given to me by a Messianic friend who works for the National Hurricane Center in Miami, noted the interesting correlation between several "natural disasters" that had plagued the world and the United States during important dates in the unfolding Israeli-Palestinian "peace process." My talk especially focused on the "Perfect Storm" that struck the Atlantic Ocean in 1991 as the Madrid peace conference was getting underway, and Hurricane Andrew in 1992 that my friend and his family were directly in the path of in southern Florida.Mark, Bill and many others have noted that besides the Tetrad which began on Passover in 1493 soon after the large Jewish community was ordered out of Spain (followed by the expulsion from neighboring Portugal in 1497), the two full eclipse cycles that occurred in the 20thcentury coincided with seminal historic occurrences in Israel’s short modern history. The initial Tetrad began on the first night of Passover on April 13, 1949. That date was just a little over one month after Israel’s blood-soaked War of Independence came to a successful end. The next Tetrad cycle also began on Passover, in 1967, which that year fell on April 24. That means it was just over six weeks before the short, but intense Six Day War broke out. A solar eclipse closely preceded it on April 20. As you all know, what looked like a probable terrible outcome for vastly outnumbered Israeli military forces turned out to be a stunning victory for them, as was also the case in the earlier Independence War.
 
If we closely examine the last three recorded Tetrads that began on the full moon of Passover and ended a year later on the first night of the annual Feast of Tabernacles, we can clearly see that they have three things in common—all involved the shedding of Jewish blood. The forced exile from Spain and Portugal and the Inquisitions that preceded them left untold numbers of Jews dead or wounded, while the Independence War took 6,373 lives (about 4,000 of them soldiers and around 2,400 civilians). Many more were wounded. Despite its short length, the Six Day War left nearly 1,000 Israelis dead and over 4,500 injured. Of course many Arab soldiers and civilians were either killed or wounded in the two wars as well, and others became refugees.It is clear that not much, if any good came out of the Roman Catholic Inquisition and subsequent expulsions for the Jewish people. However the 1949 Israeli victory in its fierce year-long War of Independence was certainly not a given, especially since Jewish fighters were battling much larger and better equipped Arab forces from several countries that had declared a war of annihilation on the fledgling Jewish State. The June 7, 1967 conquest of Jerusalem’s walled Old City and of Judea and Samaria, the Golan Heights and the Sinai Peninsula were both totally unexpected and truly phenomenal, if not miraculous.
 
So if this same pattern holds true for the Tetrad beginning next Passover, Israel will face war, or at least great bloodshed, that will probably eventually end in some sort of victory. This could precede the first full moon eclipse, as was the case in 1948-49, or follow it as in 1967. In the Independence War, the first Passover lunar eclipse took place a full year after the conflict began, meaning if the pattern recurs, Israel could face a major war (both previous conflicts were major ones, to say the least) at virtually anytime. If the 1967 pattern was followed, then warfare could break out sometime after Passover next year. If the 1493 pattern prevailed, then bloodshed would precede the coming Tetrad, meaning it could also begin at any time.Of course, no one can say that the previous three Tetrads that took place on the biblical feasts were anything more than coincidental with the dramatic events that seriously affected the Jewish people. However both the Hebrew and Christian scriptures do speak of celestial signs in relation to the Jewish people and their biblical homeland. Therefore, it is certainly noteworthy that the last three historic Tetrads that coincided with Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles did indeed either immediately precede or quickly follow some of the most noteworthy events in Jewish history. It is also interesting to me that each of the string of four full eclipses in a row began on Passover, with none beginning as they could have on Succot. According to the Bible, the Jewish New Year begins in the spring just before Passover.
 
WAR ON THE HORIZON
 

 
You don’t need to gaze at the moon to know that the tense Middle East is gearing up for another major eruption. While Israel itself has not been directly involved with the violent revolutions that began in Tunisia over two years ago and then spread to Egypt, Libya, Syria, Bahrain, Yemen, Lebanon, and have also deeply affected many other countries including Jordan, it has been the object of existential threats emanating from Iran, Hizbullah, Hamas and from the besieged Syrian Assad regime. Given that the intense and spreading Syrian conflict is now raging right next to Israel’s northern Golan Heights border with the country, and that Hizbullah says it is ready to ply Israel with thousands of deadly rockets at any time, as does Iran which continues to enrich uranium at an escalating pace, it is not hard to imagine that a major war is looming. Of course, Israeli government and military leaders are not just imagining such a scenario, but are busy preparing for it.Any new Middle East conflict would naturally have significant implications for the rest of the world as well, especially Jews residing around the globe. Financial markets would probably take a nosedive. Violence could be expected to spill over to many other places (especially if Iranian allies like North Korea get into the act, which appears possible at any moment). Plus terror and/or military attacks might also take place in the United States, Europe and elsewhere, as both Iran and North Korea are currently threatening to unleash.
 
Speaking of the Jewish community living outside of Israel, I found it quite interesting to note that of the four consecutive total lunar eclipses that began on Passover of 1949, all were visible in Israel. In fact one began near the start of the Seder meal in this time zone, with the others occurring later in the night or just before dawn. However in 1967, only one of the four full eclipses would have been visible in Israel… during the third eclipse on Passover of 1968 (April 13). And according to NASA charts, only the first part of it would have been viewable from Israel since the moon did not become totally darkened until after dawn here.In other words, while the 1949 cycle of eclipses was easily viewable in the skies above Israel, the 1967 cycle was almost exclusively visible only in the Jewish Diaspora. Could this have been a Divine message to the Jewish people around the globe that it was time to come home to their ancient Promised Land? Whether or not that was the case, the Six Day War did in fact spark off a tremendous wave of Jewish immigration to victorious Israel. The Independence War did the same, but it was mostly a large influx of regional Jews who were forced out of their countries by the hostile Arab regimes that governed them.
 
According to NASA charts, only the final total lunar eclipse of the upcoming Tetrad will appear in the skies above Israel. That will begin on September 28th 2015 just after midnight and reach its peak at 4:48 AM local time. However it will also be one of the longest total eclipses that ever occur, with full darkness lasting for over one hour. The other three eclipses will only be viewable further to the east in Asia, in Australia, over the Pacific Ocean and in the Americas, meaning Jews in Europe and Africa will also not be able to see them. Could this mean that the large Jewish community in North and South America (which when combined contains many more Jews than currently reside in Israel) and the substantial community in Australia might be the prophetic focus of the upcoming string of full moon eclipses until the very last one takes place? Only time will tell.

 
RAPTURE AND ANTICHRIST

 
Much of the Christian pulpit messages I’ve listened to on YouTube or on television concerning the upcoming Tetrad, or read online and elsewhere, seem to primarily focus not on its possible connection to the country of Israel and/or Jews scattered around the world. Instead, the focus has often been on the question of whether or not the four lunar eclipses portend an imminent rapture of the church (the prophesied "catching up to the clouds" of the saints, as described by the Apostle Paul and others). A related focus has been on the prophesied coming of an evil world known as the Man of Sin and the Antichrist, who persecutes true believers during the end time Tribulation period as foretold by Paul, the Apostle John, and by Yeshua Himself in his Olivet discourse.Clearly, a major new Middle East conflict could greatly enflame the economic crisis that has adversely affected the world since 2008. If fact, it would be remarkable if it did not do so, given the vast oil resources in this region and their importance to the global economy. This in turn could easily be the catalyst for further revolutions in the region and all over the globe. Droughts, floods and other weather disturbances that are seemingly escalating around the planet can also limit the world’s food supply, potentially sparking off violent revolts as well.
 
It doesn’t take a genius to note that World War One and the subsequent collapse of the German economy was the background to Adolph Hitler’s swift rise to power. If anyone was a type of the coming prophesied world ruler, it was the Nazi leader. He came in like a sheep before turning out to be blood lusting wolf—ravishing his own country and much of the rest of Europe, Russia, North Africa and the Middle East, and taking the lives of soldiers from many other regions as well. So the prospect that any coming Middle East war could be the catalyst for the prophesied rise of the Antichrist worldwide ruler is certainly not far fetched. Might he precede, be concurrent with, or follow the next round of Tetrad lunar eclipses? Again, only time will tell.However I do want to briefly summarize some of the material about this topic that I included in my 2001 book,Israel in Crisis, and in the narrative of my first novel, The End of Days. I do not believe that the book of Daniel foretells a seven-year period of end time upheaval, as do many of the ministries I am associated with, along with the Bible College I attended many years ago. I instead think that the first half of the prophesied seventieth week of Daniel (9:24) was fulfilled during the three-plus year public ministry of Yeshua here in the Promised Land. This view was first taught by some of the ancient church fathers. I believe it was the Lord’s "atonement for iniquity" that put "an end to sin" and brought in "everlasting righteousness" and thus "sealed up vision and prophecy" and brought the true "anointing to the most holy place," as recorded in that verse.The Messiah is even mentioned by that very term in verse 25, where He is also termed a "Prince." His death at the hands of "the people of the prince who is to come" (which turned out to be the Romans, from whom verse 26 says another "prince," the Antichrist, will come), is also prophesied in that verse. Therefore it is the Lord Himself who "makes," or some versions say "confirms" a covenant (verse 27) "with the many for one week" via His death and resurrection.
 
If this is an accurate reading of what many scholars have called a somewhat convoluted text, the Seventieth Week of Daniel is not literally seven consecutive historical years that come at the very end of this age, as many teach. Instead, it begins with Yeshua’s ministry on earth nearly 2,000 years ago, and is interrupted in the middle of the "week" by his crucifixion. The second three and a half year period begins with the appearance of another "prince" (the final Antichrist) who comes "on the wings of abomination" and then "makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate" (vs. 27)". This reading exactly matches several other prophecies, which foretell that the Man of Sin will rule over the world for three and a half years (42 months), not for seven years. He may indeed make some sort of political pact with Israel, as I have included in my novel and many expect, but that is not the "covenant" spoken of here.If I and many others are reading this prophecy correctly, then the appearance of the Antichrist will apparently take place around four years before Israel’s Messiah returns to earth. The reason another six months or so is added to the 42 months is that we are told in the book of Revelation that the Antichrist will be dethroned via a series of Divine wrathful judgements that will fall upon the world in the months after he effectively loses his power to govern (Rev 8 and 9).
 
So if the prophesied final world ruler were to appear in the spring of next year, coinciding with the first lunar eclipse of the next Tetrad cycle, then the Lord’s Second Coming and the end of this age would take place near to or during the fall feasts in 2017. That would be precisely 100 years from the time when the seminal Balfour Declaration was issued by Great Britain on November 2,1917, leading to a Jewish State being endorsed by the United Nations in November 1947…exactly 30 years later. The year 2017 would also be 50 years after Israel captured the Old City of Jerusalem in 1967, which contains the Jewish people’s holiest site on earth, the sacred Temple Mount. As you know, the biblical Year of Jubilee is marked every 50 years.It is also interesting to note that both the Gregorian calendar year, which has become the world’s internationally accepted business calendar over the past century, and the Hebrew calendar year end with the exact same number. Thus, the year 2013 ends with the number three, as does the Hebrew calendar (where we are now in the year 5773). So the "sevens" listed in the years above are always the same in both calendars, at least for around nine months of each year.Please note that I am not forecasting that the prophesied final world ruler will appear next spring, only that these dates and numbers are quite interesting indeed, especially given that they might exactly fit in with the first lunar eclipse next Passover. The upcoming Tetrad period may well begin with much Jewish (and worldwide) suffering and bloodshed, as in the previous three Tetrads, but it might also end with the final triumph over sin and death for people everywhere that know and serve the Coming King of Kings!
 
Does the next Tetrad portend the imminent rapture of the world’s true believers? I think it may well do so. However I do not foresee it as a sudden and secret catching up to the clouds that would precede the coming world leader’s appearance, as taught by a majority of my ministry associates and of course by many others. This "pre-tribulation" rapture expectation is frankly not found by me in my personal studies of the Bible, despite having been taught that position at my church before moving to Israel in 1980, and in the Bible College I attended in Washington state before that.I certainly wish I could say otherwise. I have no great desire to face what Yeshua Himself warned would be a time of unprecedented trial, persecution and upheaval just prior to his VISIBLE return in the clouds ("in power and great glory" Matthew 24, verse 30), from where He will catch up His devoted followers (vs. 31) as the final bowls of judgment are poured out upon the Antichrist and his worldwide kingdom. Still, I do think the Bible is clear that the Second Coming is a one-time visible event ("like lightening flashes from east to west"), not something that takes place in two stages, one hidden and one public. If I and those who agree with me are wrong about this matter, I for one will be most pleased! However if we am right, I’m concerned that many true believers who hold a pre-tribulation rapture view may not be prepared to face such dramatic days (not that those who agree with my view are necessarily prepared for such a time). Either way, the best preparation in my opinion for whatever may lie ahead is to nudge up to the Lord of Lords as much as possible.
 
ISAIAH 17 AND PSALM 83

 
As I wrote before, I suspect that the next major regional war will begin with the fulfillment of Isaiah 17, which speaks of the total destruction of Damascus along with great suffering for Israel. This may well coincide with or ignite a conflict with Iran and other allies of the embattled Assad regime. It is true that the ancient Assyrians, who are spoken of extensively by the great prophet, conquered the Syrian capital city in his era. However historians say it was not the utter destruction of Damascus that is described in verses 1-3: "It will be for flocks to lie down in, and no one will (be around to) make them afraid." A fuller examination of this prophecy can be found in my book Israel in Crisis. 

 
I suspect a war between Israel and Syria and its allies would probably be followed, either quickly or after a short period of time, by the fulfillment of the conspiracy involving several regional Arab neighbors that is foretold in Psalm 83. There we are told they will join together in an attempt to "wipe Israel out as a nation" (vs. 4), which is of course precisely what Iran, Hizbullah, Hamas and others have stated many times is their ultimate goal. A key to the fulfillment of that prophecy is the country of Jordan, which at this time still has a functioning peace treaty with Israel (unlike the collapsing treaties with Egypt and the Palestinian Authority). Several of the 10 Arab countries or tribes that are listed in Psalm 83: 6-8 resided in what is today territory under Jordanian control.Of course, nobody can say for sure that the coming Tetrads will prove to be anything more than just a series of interesting celestial events with little or no prophetic or historical significance at all. Some of the Tetrads that took place on Jewish feast days in the last 2,000 years cannot be clearly traced to any important events in the Jewish world. However the last three certainly can be. I also find it quiet interesting that we have had seven Tetrads since the time of Yeshua that occurred on Passover and Succot. Seven is obviously a significant number in the Bible, beginning with the seven-day week. So this next one will be number eight…also a significant biblical number signaling completion and fulfillment. Are we about to witness some shattering events on planet earth? Stay tuned….
 
"How blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee, in whose heart are the highways to Zion (Psalm 84:5).
