Notes: Blood Moons- Mark Biltz

- Many look for signs of extraterrestrial life that might be trying to communicate with us. 

- Scientists, spend hours and millions of dollars on research to see if there is life anywhere else in the universe....giant satellites, NASA, Vatican, Governments etc.

- Why do research scientists looking for E.T. totally ignore the greatest time in history when an Extraterrestrial spoke to 3 million people all at once who were all witnesses to the event on Mt. Sinai. The event was recorded and is a major historic event. This heavenly Being arrived on our planet on Mt. Sinai and gave a book written with all His insights on how to help humankind. 

- God knows that we are creatures who always look for signs. So he uses many ways to get our attention, but the problem is we don't know how to read the sign that he send us.

- Sometimes it is hard to grasp the whole because our perspectives are skewed. 

- To understand prophecy, you don't want to start in Revelation, but Genesis. There are more then 300 references in the book of Revelation to the Tanakh or Old Testament. If you throw out the Old Testament you've thrown out your reference manual to Revelation. Proverbs 25:2

- One item that has been restored after nearly 2,000 years is the Hebrew language. The resurgence occurred in a major way in the beginning of the 1900's. 

- The return of the Hebrew language is a sign of the times. Zephaniah 3:8-9

- The Creator of the universe likes to play hide and seek, and God only reveals himself to those who go on the hunt for Him. Anyone can say they love God while they pursue their own self-centered interests, but God will only reveal Himself to those who pursue Him. And even then it can be halfhearted pursuit. 

- There are divine appointments, and scheduled ones in the Word of God. The Creator of the Universe wants to interact with humanity at set times. He has an appointment book, per say, where he has scheduled and keeps track of his interaction /intersection with humanity. 

- Having a Hebrew mind-set and basic understanding of the Hebrew language when reading the Bible helps one understand these appointments. 

- The Feasts of the Lord are the divine appointments. They are his predetermined appointments that have already intersected and will intersect human history. 

- God created the sun and the moon not only to send signals, but also to determine His feast days, or appointed times. This is why the sun and moon operate like clockwork. 

If we want to know where we are in history according to God's time clock, then we need to go by God's clock, not ours. 

- When God is about to be up to something big, He will send us signals via the sun and the moon on His feast days. 

- If you have entered the covenant of God's family, then you are supposed to know the family's signals. 

- The feasts of the Lord were and are to be dress rehearsals of coming events. 

- Here is a test. Regarding God's first coming, if God fulfilled the Spring Feasts literally through Jesus Christ to the very day and hour, do you believe that He will fulfill the fall feasts through Christ on the very days and hours of His second coming? Do you believe with all your heart, soul, mind and strength that God is the same yesterday, today and forever, with no shadow of turning? 

- It's imperative that the Children of God get on God's calendar. 

- The spring feasts were fulfilled in order: Jesus died on Passover, was buried during Unleavened Bread, was resurrected during Firstfruits, and the Spirit was poured out on Shavuot/Pentacost, bringing in the great harvest. Similarly, the fall feasts have to be fulfilled to the very days and in order. 

- The biblical calendar is one of the tools you need to properly understand in order to know what is quickly coming upon the world. 

- God always warns before He brings judgement. In God's mercy, He is sending big time warnings from His heavenly billboards. People can choose to ignore them at their own peril, be indifferent and ride out the storm, or come to the dress rehearsals and be ready. 

- When Paul said, "at the last trump," he was referring to the hundredth blast on the Feast of Trumpets. (1 Cor 15:51-53)

- The Lord will come as a thief not only to the dead church, but also to the wealthy, blind, lukewarm church. 

- Do you go to a dead, lukewarm church that believes the Lord will come as a thief in the night to them? 

- The Church can wake up and watch at the appointed times..

- The Bible says, " no one knows the day or the hour," but most don't understand this verse in its true context and in context to who Jesus was addressing. Read Matt 25:8-13. It is to the foolish virgins that the bridegroom says, "I know you not," because they were not watching. Luke 12:37, shows that those who watch for the Lord's coming will be blessed. Luke 12:42-46 reveals that the evil servants are also those who the Lord's coming will be like a thief in the night. Not as a thief to those who are watching. 

- Jesus rebuked religious leaders because they were not watching and did not know the hour of his coming. Matt 16:3

- When the Bible mentions seasons, it is not talking about winter and summer but the appointed times. 1Thess 5:1-4 reveals the importance of being on God's calendar.

- Because a person knows the appointed times the Day of the Lord will not come to them as a thief in the night because they know when to be watching! God encourages us not to set dates but to know the season or appointed time of His coming. 

- Since the days of the early church, the church has been presenting to the Jew a "Jesus"  in Egyptian clothes! Jesus is seen as a white sometimes blond European. But this is far from His own roots.  Jesus' real name is Yeshua. 

- The Church needs to return Yeshua to His own family.

- It will come as a surprise when the church realizes Yeshua is still Jewish. 

- In AD 321, Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire, to the exclusion of all other religions. It signaled the beginning of discrimination and persecution of the Jewish people.

- The church went grievously wrong and got off the biblical calendar by doing what their human reason approved and by following what the majority ruled at the Council of Nicea in AD 325 by Constantine. In the 4th century, the "church" told the Jewish people they could no longer determine the new moon or the biblical calendar, on pain of death. 

- Saint Jerome (AD 347-407) described the Jews as " serpents, wearing the image of Judas, their psalms and prayers are the braying of donkeys."

- Bishop of Antioch and John Chrysostom wrote a series of 8 sermons against the Jews

- King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella signed the Alhambra Decree that declared all Jews had to leave Spain in 1492. Spanish Inquisition. Was Christopher Columbus Jewish? Jews that would not convert to Catholicism would be put to death during the Inquisition. Martin Luther reformed and reached out to the Jews hoping they would accept his theology, but when they rejected it he wrote an exhaustive essay about his hatred for the Jew, called On the Jew and Their Lives (1543). 

-The Bible warns Christians about not being pretentious and thinking they are better the branches in Romans 18:11-21. It's because of the Jews unbelief that we Gentiles have been granted mercy. And when the gentile begins to show Jews mercy, they will believe. 

- Should we go by what the majority says, or what God says? Do we do what seems reasonable to us, or to God?

- Moses was more concerned about God's reputation than his own. Num 14:17-21

- The "church" needs to realize that the fathers of the Christian Faith are Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 

- Historical events line up with the Torah reading of the week.Getting on God's calendar is like an alignment you may get at the chiropractor. Everything begins to fall into place. 

- You don't know what you don't know. 

- If you come in agreement with the calendar God uses, you will become exceedingly close to the Lord in your walk with Him. Deut 6:5

- Most denominations never hold a memorial Passover to remember the Lord' s death as He commanded in 1 Cor 11:26. Jesus died on Nisan 14, Passover, not Good Friday. Jesus rose on Feast of First Fruits not on Easter etc. 

- Because the biblical calendar is rejected, look what happens in 2016. Easter Sunday falls on March 27, so Christians will be celebrating the resurrection a month before Passover, the date that Christ died, which won't come until a month later, on April 21. Because of this, Christians are not able to connect the signs coming from the heavens when they fall on Passover. 

- The Jewish calendar is based on three heavenly events: the rotation of the earth makes one day, the rotation of the Mormon around the earth makes a month, and the rotation of the earth around the sun makes a year. The Gregorian calendar on follows the first and the third events. 

- 29.5 days for the moon to go around earth , 365.25 days for earth to go around sun. The Jewish calendar  handles the fractions by using either 29 or 30 day months and either 12 or 13 month years. 

- Scientifically, you can only have a solar eclipse at a new moon or the first day of a biblical month. You can only have a total lunar eclipse at a full moon on the 15th day of a biblical month. This is why God scheduled some of his divine appointments or feast days at those times. Rose Hashanah is the first day of the seventh month. And both Passover ( the Feast of Unleavened Bread), and the Feast of Tabernacles are on the 15th of the biblical month. 

-Solar and lunar eclipses are regular occurrences but when they fall on feast days, we should pay attention, because God is trying to tell us something. 

- Four total lunar eclipses in a row are not as common as one would believe. It is called a tetras. There were 62 tetras over the last 2,000 years. Of these, only eight fell on feast days, with the ninth coming in 2014-2015. 

- Nine, symbolizes the number of finality or judgement. It signals the end, it signals the conclusion of a matter. It signifies the end of man. 

In 842-843 AD, two tetras occurred on feast days. At this time, The Treaty of Verdun was signed to end the Carolinigian civil war and divide the Carolinigian Empire into three kingdoms: West Francia, Middle Francia, and East Francia. the Carolinigians were intolerant to their Jewish subjects, the the division of the empire adversely affected all the Jews in the realm.

- Between 1400 and 1500, there were four tetras, two of which fell on the feast days. 1428-29 and 1493-94. In 1428, an assembly of Jews in Italy met in Florence to gather funds to give to Pope Martin V in return for his protection. In 1492, when Columbus sailed the ocean, Kinf Ferdinand and Queen  Isabella signed an edict to expel Jews from Spain. 

- Between 1900-2000, there were five tetras, but only two occurred on feast days-1949-50 and 1967-68. These were epic years for the Jewish people with major prophetic implications. In 1948, Israel became a nation, and then in 1967, the Israelites recapture Jerusalem. Not only do we have four blood moons in a row, with all four of them falling on feast days, but they also happened at a time when historic prophecies were fulfilled!

- In this century, eight tetrads will occur, but the only time they will fall on the feast days is in 2014 and 2015.

- The generation from 2002 to 2056 will be the generation where the month of Tishri will be fulfilled! The fall feasts and the return of the Messiah will happen in this generation!

- In 2015 we have a total solar eclipse is on March 20 followed by a partial solar clips on September 13.

- The total solar eclipse on March 20, 2015 is on Nisan 1; The very beginning of the religious here in the very day the fire fell from heaven and let the altar at the dedication of Moses his tabernacle. 

- There will be a partial solar eclipse on September 13, 2015 which is on Rosh Hashanah.  After that, just two weeks later, there will be a total lunar eclipse on Sukkot. 

- The odds of a full moon or about 1 in 29. The odds of a lunar eclipse are about 1 in 110. The odds of a super moon occurrence are about 1 in 6,570. The odds of a super moon during a lunar eclipse are astronomical. What are the odds of having a super blood moon falling on the Feast of Tabernacle's in 2015! This is not a coincidence!

- Can you imagine what it will be like for the Jewish people in Israel sitting in their soup is on the first night of the feast of Tabernacle's and there is this stupid blood moon overhead? Don't you think God is trying to speak to us? This is equivalent to a prophetic grand slam homerun. The heavens are shouting, "Hello! Is anybody paying attention?" 

- The four blood moons of 1949–50 occurred after Israel became a nation in 1948. The Six-Day War of 1967 did not happen on the day of one of the eclipse either. The eclipses coming in 2014 and 2015 are signs in themselves, as they occur on the feast days. If nothing noteworthy happens in 2014 or 2015, it just means these are signs of things to come.  

- There is no doubt that different biblical prophetic events will happen on these very feast days in the fall. They are days that events will happen, but this is not setting dates, because we have no idea what year!

- When a house is on fire, you have people running out and others running in. It depends on what you believe you're calling is. Many people speculate on where we are regarding the timing of the rapture. It doesn't matter. Because we are not afraid. 

- too many Christians waste so much time trying to determine when the rapture is going to take place to get absolutely nothing done for the kingdom. There are no extra points for being right. If you are wrong, it doesn't mean you raise from the dead. We should rather be wrong and ready and white here. God does not care about personal views of the rapture. He only cares if we are doing what you told us to do. Which is share the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

- In all of this we are speaking about coming judgment.

- On September 17, 2001, or Elul 29, the day before Rosh Hashanah, the Dow Jones average saw its biggest drop ever at 7%. Seven years later on September 28, 2008 which was again Elul 29, the day before Rosh Hashanah, The Dow bill 777 points, or another 7%! Do you see any connections here? Now we are coming up to the third and final shemittah year (7th year of a 7 year cycle) since 1994, when Jupiter was hammered. Could the coming blood moons signal our third strike, and we will be out economically? We already see the signs of economic collapse coming, with America being so much in debt and our government in a comatose condition. 

- The Bible says that in the last days, knowledge will be increased Daniel 12:4. This is not only secular knowledge but biblical insight as well.

- All these signs coming together at one time, are potentially the culminating signals that God is closing this chapter of human history. This could be the final curtain call for the great tribulation mentioned in the Bible. God has always wanted to warn his people, and the rest of the world, before he intervenes.

- In Leviticus 23:3, Moses proclaimed, "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, "the feast of the Lord, which you shall proclaim, holy convocation, even these are my appointed feasts." According to Strong's Concordance, the Hebrew word for "proclaim" gives the idea of accosting a person met: calling out to, addressing by name, them that are bidden, or to invite, mention, publish, or read. This tells us that we are responsible to proclaim the Feasts of the Lord to others. We are to bid them to come to the wedding! It's hard to imagine, but there are people who do not want to come to the wedding of the Messiah! We are responsible to bid them to come.

- In Matthew 22:2-4 it says, "A certain King, which made a marriage for his son, sent forth his servants to call them that we're bidden to the wedding; and they would not come. Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, tell them which are bidder, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready:come unto the marriage." What is unbelievable is what happens next: they made light of it and went their ways one to his farm another to his merchandise! 

- The creator of the universe is calling you by name to come to the great supper!

- God is writing his message this time so the whole world can see it. He is asking you to run with the interpretation of his message. But we must run with understanding. The great tribulation may be upon us and time is short, for The Day of the Lord is at hand!

- The two main things to remember are: 1.) That the body of Messiah needs to get on God's calendar to understand the signs of the times. And 2.) The reason we got off of God's calendar in the first place was because of the errant  thinking behind replacement theology. 

- Ruth and Orpah represent the Gentiles who are grafted into the covenant of Israel by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So Ruth and Orpah, in one sense, also represent the "Church" that is grafted into the branch. When Naomi, the Jewess, Heard there was bread again in Bethlehem, she went, back to the land of Israel. This represents the restoration of Israel back to the land in 1948. Ruth and Orpah represent the church in the final days. Orpah means, "the back of the neck"; she turned her back on Israel and return to pagan lifestyle. 

- Today we have the final epic battle lines being drawn in the church in these last days. The church will be divided between those who support Israel, work the harvest, and bring forth the Messiah, and those who turn their backs on Israel and form the one-world church. On one side will be those who love the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as David did, and this group will be small, as David was. On the other side will be the giant Goliath, The one-world church that hates God's people and wants to see them destroyed. Where will you be standing on that final day? When you say we should stand with the Jewish people, doesn't abnormal anger and hatred spew from their mouths? Do they allow the traditions of men to override the internal truth of God's word?

-  People don't know what they don't know! If pastors were never taught, how can we expect them to teach it? Some get mad or frustrated because they spent thousands of dollars on religious education only to find out they were given wrong or inaccurate information. When studying Christianity's Jewish roots many people's eyes become open and statements such as "I've been robbed" or "why wasn't I ever taught this?" occurs. Many people get mad at their pastors for not teaching, but we cannot be held responsible because they were never taught the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. 

Super Natural Realities- The Mystery of the Gospel and Jesus- The One Extraterrestrial We Are Waiting For

Ephesians 6:10-18

A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

So much of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is a mystery to people. Why, because Jesus is truly to become the all consuming nature within a person. Not just a thought nor idea, but the very nature that causes our thoughts and ideas.  The very nature that impacts our DNA! If Jesus' nature is not within a person then the only natural nature within a person is their own...and that is a sinful nature. People are born in sin, but once Jesus becomes Lord and Savior of a person's life that person's nature changes, because God the Holy Spirit comes literally and spiritually inside of them to live. This miracle changes the old sinful nature into a new born again nature. But therein lies the mystery. We don't know how it happens, but we know it does happen, and only through faith and the power of God. The Word of God reveals that by God's grace towards us and through the faith we place in Jesus, God sees us as new creations, and not of this world nor under our old nature. As King David affirmed and cried out in Psalm 119, "He has become a stranger in this world." God's new perspective towards us when he sees us committed to his Son, and when he sees his Son's life, death, and resurrection representing us is we are Born Again Children of the Most High God who have become aliens in this world or strangers to it. Without Christ, the justice and wrath of God are on the sinful nature of a person, but with Christ the Grace and Forgiveness of God are on the new nature. 

Let me speak to something that may seem off subject, but has much to do with the mystery of the gospel and the challenge there is in a person believing it today and in the future.  This is something the older generations might consider as far out...even my generation, but what I am speaking of here is not so far fetched for the newer generations. This point is directly connected to how one discerns the technological and the spiritual, and if they will either see and understand the gospel of Jesus Christ or will be deceived and not understand it.  It has everything to do with discernment of truth no matter the era one grew up in, nor the miraculous signs one has seen or experienced, the supernatural, nor what a person may consider as "impossible." The older generations have the luxury of not being so inundated and influenced (distracted) to the core of them by all this technology, and the type of programming in the media and entertainment world that has exploded in the past 20 years.  The younger generations are consumed by it all however.  How often do you see a person looking at their phone or computer while among others today? The Baby Boomer generation and the younger don't have the past framework like their grandpas and great grandmas did. I see tons of 50-60 year olds navigating and knowing how to use the current technology and even wanting to, but much fewer 60-70 year olds even desiring to use the devices. But regardless of the era one grew up in, in the current world's media, there is now an incredible focus and emphasis on the "supernatural." Many underlying themes in so many movies and even little children's cartoons are consumed by the idea that there is "something" or "someone" out there in space that is beyond us, and there is a general expectation being written in the hearts of people that there will be a "saving race" or a "saving one" to come who will stop all the chaos that will happen here on earth. It is not so far fetched anymore that an "alien race" may exist, who can teach us the "higher way" in people's minds. And not just in the entertainment media is this message being conveyed and supported, but it's also being addressed by those who are in positions of political and religious leadership, who say that we should soon expect to see these "aliens" and be ready to learn from them....receive "them" or "him." 

I bring this point up because people are never ready for the supernatural to manifest before their very eyes. Whether it be God the Creator who sent His only Begotten Son to live, die and be raised to save humanity through the Holy Spirit and a human egg or little green aliens, religious anti-Christ saviors, or nephilim type of creatures people are generally very skeptical. Whether it is a good or evil manifestation people aren't ready to believe it's real, BUT in this current fallen world people are being conditioned to receive anything but the truth of God which is the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. Even those who are more inclined to believe in something supernatural are being directed to believe in and accept someone or some higher race from the spiritual realm and/or within the trans-humanist, bio-technological advancement realm which is already mastering super DNA manipulations.  The reality is, we do live in a world and in a universe where there is One True Triune God (God the Father, God The Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit), and there is a Devil, and there are angels and demons. They are all supernatural authorities that we are not used to seeing.  These are the extra terrestrial entities, and there is also technology that has been developed and is being developed that will help bring people into a greater connection to all the ungodly entities, and not in a good way. The Bible says that greater is He (God) who is in you ( if he is in you) then he ( the Devil) who is in the world. You see the Holy Spirit does come and live inside of you when you believe in Jesus. 

All in all, just remember this in your deepest soul: If at some point you do see an alien life form, that is not Jesus Christ, come to this earth know they are fallen angels (demons) masquerading as "good and helpful." They will not be benevolent, but will be malevolent. They are satanic entities a part of the bigger goal to deceive you and trick you. They don't want you to believe in the truth of who Jesus is. Additionally, if you experience the powerful advancements of biotechnology and transhumanist efforts on a scale that brings the human soul and mind into one with the "upper dimensions" and "singularity with everything with the universe," REALIZE it is just the man made efforts to become like God and believe that original lie of Satan, "you surely shall not die....You will be like God." Be discerning Friends. We are entering into that time where the great desception and strong delusion will take you if you are not believing in the work that Jesus Christ....the Most High, Loving, Powerful, Godly "Extraterrestrial" did for you. 

Praise the Lord that He has given us His Holy Spirit to seal us from the powers of darkness and the power of sin and death, and the power of deception and lies!

So, when Jesus says in his word that sin separates us from him that's literally what it means. Our sin natures separate us from having a relationship with God. Obviously, God knows this, but naturally we don't. In our nature we think we're okay because we do good things sometimes. That's a wrong perspective from our vantage point. If a person wants a relationship with the living God who is perfect and pure and true and honest and right, in everything he does, all the time-We must get saved by him from our dead nature, and receive freely his nature inside of us. The Living God has said that the payment for sin is death. When a person hears the Gospel it produces faith in it. This is the Gospel: God created you to have a personal relationship with him forever, but you have been born sinful which is proven by your choices to sin (have you lied, stolen, lusted after another person, used God's name in vain, etc?) Your sinful choices are a result of your sinful nature, and you are naturally in a state where you are dead spiritually. God never intended this for you. He never intended that you die separate from him or be dead in Spirit and Truth.  But God is so perfect that he cannot ignore your sin. He is a just God. You are dead without God's nature living inside of you, and if you were to die in your physical body without his nature being inside of you, you will also die a second death on judgment day when God judges your sin, and the result of that judgment is eternal separation from God in a place called hell which was prepared for Satan and his demons. But here is the good news. Here is another part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ: This same just God loves you so much that he sent his only son that if you believe in him you will not perish but have ever lasting life. God sent his perfect son Jesus The Christ to die for you and pay the penalty for your sins. The living God will only accept the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as a perfect payment for your sin. Nothing else. The blood of Christ is perfect blood. Jesus never sinned. Do you believe this? Not only did Jesus die for your sins, but on the third day he rose from the grave because he is more powerful than death. He is literally God in a human body saving you from eternal separation from him. In order to receive God's nature inside of you you must believe these things about Jesus and yield your life over to God in humility and repent from your sins. Admit you are a sinner, lost and believe on the Lord Jesus as your personal savior from your sins. Commit your life to following Jesus forever. When you believe and commit your life to Jesus the Holy Spirit then comes inside of you to live and rule and guide and comfort. Many people get mad when it is proclaimed that Jesus is the only way to heaven. But think about it---who else in all of history has done what Jesus has done for you? Who has lived perfectly, proved his God nature through miracles signs and wonders, and not only this but through sacrificial love died on a cross that he did not deserve for your transgressions? And last but not least who in all of the world has risen after they have died proving they are greater than death, and are really who they say they are ...the Way, the Truth and the Life? Jesus has done this, and all this is what is proclaimed in the Holy Bible, the super natural book that is from God to us that we are supposed to read. Dear friend, within the human nature is pride and pride is the only thing that keeps a person from receiving the good news about Jesus Christ. Pride is real. It is a most dangerous reality inside us, but God says that "if a person confesses with their mouth that Jesus is Lord they will be saved.

Ephesians 6:10-18
A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil.

A Most Extraordinary Synopsis- Are You Ready?

El Shaddai Ministries Newsletter By Pastor Mark Biltz

"Where has the world headed since the first blood moon on Passover of 2014? Our world has now gone past the tipping point, and events are now accelerating out of anyone's control. Just as ISIS has gone from the JV team to the A team, along with events spreading from Russia to Ukraine and planes being shot out of the sky, we see everything developing exponentially. Look at the Ebola, for example. From the Centers of Disease Control, we see that the 2014 Ebola outbreak is one of the largest Ebola outbreaks in history and the first in West Africa. It is affecting five countries in West Africa. We have a respiratory illness that has already sickened more than a thousand children in 10 states that is likely to become a nationwide problem, doctors say. Terror attacks in Jerusalem have grown exponentially over the past few months, a Shabak (Israel Security Service) report Monday said. Take a look at all the worldwide conflicts since this last April at this website. Notice all the earthquakes occurring, tracked by the USGS. Here is an old chart only going up to 2008 showing the increase in earthquakes higher than 6.0:

 

When you look at the chart, you see at the highest point there were around 36 earthquakes that year over 6.0. That is nothing compared to this year! In 2014 so far - and the year is not even close to being over - we have already had 116 earthquakes 6.0 and above! With 70 of them since the first blood moon! This year will more than quadruple the number of large earthquakes from the highest year of the last decade. We hear of major droughts, as in California.

All of this to say that we are living during the birth pains of the coming of the Messiah. Now I would like to deliver a bombshell of biblical proportions. Everyone needs to understand the prophetic time clock and prophetic calendar of the days we are living in, which is why I wrote the book "Blood Moons" and produced the Shemitah calendar for this coming year, starting in a few weeks on Rosh Hashana. The Shemitah year is the seventh year of the seven-year cycle when the land of Israel had to rest, and it was an economic reset year for the financial system. In Genesis, God started the seven-day cycle. We have a seven-day week, then there is the seven-week cycle of 49 days in the Bible from first-fruits to Shavuot, or Pentecost. We have the seven-year cycle known as the Shemitah cycle. There is the seven-Shemitah cycle of 49 years bring us to the year of Jubilee. We know from the Bible that a day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and it has been 6,000 years since the creation of Adam. We are about to enter the seventh millennium, known as the day of rest. For the most part, theologians agree that the tribulation is seven years long. What I am proposing is that it is simply a continuation of the Shemitah cycle that has been ticking along for ages. The tribulation will not be any random sequence of seven years, but the first year of the tribulation will begin with the first year of the seven-year cycle. This has huge prophetic implications when we realize this Rosh Hashanah is the seventh year of a seven-year cycle, and the fall of 2015 begins a new seven-year cycle. In plain English, the seven-year tribulation could begin next fall. If it does not, then that means it will not start for another seven years since it is just a continuation of God's orderly time clock. I am not saying the Lord will return next fall. I am not saying the Rapture will take place next fall. I am just saying regardless of where you want to put us on God's time line, the seven-year tribulation is part of that timeline and will happen as part of the Shemitah cycle. We will know more definitely next year when we have the super blood moon for the first time in all of history that appears in Jerusalem in the seventh month of the biblical calendar at the end of the seventh year kicking off the first year of the new seven-year cycle. We have one year to prepare. This is not a Y2K theory based on the solar pagan calendar or the Mayan calendar but one based on the calendar the Creator gave us to give us warnings of things to come, just as I presented in the book "Blood Moon."
