A Comparison Between Exodus, And The End Of The Age

posted by PrayerWarrior

In the times of great turmoil,trouble and tribulation,that are coming upon the earth. We see many of the same plagues God used in Egypt, to convince Pharaoh to let God’s people go, are also going be used in our time, against the beast system of government and the antichrist, and his followers. We can see in the book of Exodus, that the people of God were living in a situation of terrible oppression and slavery. At that time there was a program of government sanctioned genocide. With that system in place and working, the people of Israel were going to be destroyed. It was impossible to live under the Egyptian rule. Of course we will see the same kind of situation for God’s people in the last days.

Many of the same things that happened in Egypt will be happening here, such as,bloody waters,raining hail mixed with fire,locusts which will be completely different than the plague of locusts used in Egypt. These locusts will come from the pits of hell upon the earth and look like no other bug ever seen on this earth and they will not harm the grass or trees but only the people who worship the antichrist.

These locusts will look like, well here let me show you according to the bible,it is crazy!Revelation 9:1-11 (.1 Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen to earth from the sky, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. 2 When he opened it, smoke poured out as though from a huge furnace, and the sunlight and air turned dark from the smoke.

3 Then locusts came from the smoke and descended on the earth, and they were given power to sting like scorpions. 4 They were told not to harm the grass or plants or trees, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were told not to kill them but to torture them for five months with pain like the pain of a scorpion sting. 6 In those days people will seek death but will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them!

7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. They had what looked like gold crowns on their heads, and their faces looked like human faces. 8 They had hair like women’s hair and teeth like the teeth of a lion. 9 They wore armor made of iron, and their wings roared like an army of chariots rushing into battle. 10 They had tails that stung like scorpions, and for five months they had the power to torment people. 11 Their king is the angel from the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon—the Destroyer.

Now that s just plain wild,to think we will see such things. I am excited for all this that is coming,though I know it will be hard, and often times insane to live through all that is coming,i cannot help but be very excited too. Knowing that God’s word will not return void (Isaiah 55:11) ,is an awesome thing. Meaning nothing God says will happen, wont happen. All things He says in His word will come to pass. I say bring it on Lord. This earth is horribly corrupt and getting worse daily.

It can be seen that, starting with the plague of flies the people of Israel, who were living in the land of Goshen, were exempt from this disaster. God’s word says about this: “I will make a distinction between my people and your people” (Exodus. 8:23). From that plague onward the Children of Israel were untouched by the pestilence. During the last plague, when all the firstborn sons of Egypt were struck down in one night, the firstborn of Israel were spared. Israel had been told to place on the door posts of their houses, the blood of a lamb and to remain inside while the plague passed by them. We need to look at it this way, although the people of Israel were in Egypt, they were not of Egypt, so to speak. They were sheltered from danger by God. With the same plagues the people of Egypt were judged and destroyed.

We will be sheltered by God also in the end times. Just like the lambs blood around the door posts protected those within the house form death to the first born, so will the blood of Jesus that is our covering,our cloak so to speak of protection,keep us from death. Not a physical death, many of us will be slain for our witness of Christ, but it is a spiritual death that we are avoiding. Just as the plagues passed by the Jews who were in Egypt,many of the plagues coming upon the earth in the end will pass us by. Because though we live on the earth,we are now no longer of the earth. We are no longer worldly people. We are in fact covered and purified by the blood of Christ. The one time needed sacrifice to end all sacrifices,blood of the Lamb of God.

In Conclusion; We don’t need to be nervous about the end times. God will always take care of his own. We can see many scriptures throughout the Bible that illustrate this truth.
Proverbs 3:25-26 states: “Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.” In Proverbs 2:7-8 we read: “He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.”

In Psalm 46:2-3, the Psalmist advises: ” Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.” There are many other wonderful Psalms of protection such as Psalm 27:1-3, 5 and 91:1-16. Indeed, the Book of Psalms may become the hymnal for last-day saints.

In many other scriptures God vows to protect his own. Psalm 33:18-19 states: “But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.” We remember how the prophet Elijah was miraculously delivered from famine for three-and-one-half-years (1 Ki. 17: 1-16), a period of time very similar to that of the Great Tribulation.Indeed, we see that “The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them” (Psa. 34:7). The sun will not harm them by day or the moon by night (Psa. 121:6). Joel the prophet in speaking about the day of the Lord says: “But the Lord will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Israel” (Joel 3:16).

In 2 Peter 2:9, the apostle assures us that: “the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.” for all those who believe we will not be here to withstand tribulation and think this verse solidifies that strain of thought,let me just say,it does not say,does not allow them to go through it,but to be rescued from them. You must be in some sort of troublesome situation to be rescued from it.

The seal of God in the forehead of the righteous obviously does not keep God’s saints from martyrdom, should God choose this to occur. It is made to keep them from giving up or denying the Lord under the awful times of the end. It is a type of spiritual protection. In Romans 8:35, Paul asks: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?” Paul answers his question in Romans 8:38-39: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

That all said,we can choose to leave the Lord and His protection. However no matter what we do we cannot stop being loved by the Lord. There is no protection for those who choose, or have chosen, to walk away from God. I have had many an argument with people who use these particular verses (Romans 8:35-39) to say that no matter how much we shun the Lord and His laws, we cannot ever lose salvation once we have attained it. I beg to differ. We can give up our salvation and thus, have our names wiped out of the lambs book of life. Remember this, although God still loves those fallen angels,they can never come back to the Lord. There is no redemption for them. God loves us all, all of us, every single person on this earth no matter their sins or life styles,but He will not put up with sin, and it is not allowed near Him. He punishes those He loves,for their disobedience, at the end.

Through out the word Old and New Testaments, we can find that life is cyclical. Even without the word of God we see how much life is like a big circle. We go through many styles of clothing for instance,that come back around. As Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 1:9,What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. The wisest man in the entire world was Solomon,there has never been nor will there be anyone wiser than Solom was,except of course Jesus Christ,who is God. Also through out the word,old and new Testaments we find plenty of end time prophecies. In every book of the bible we can find some mention or some parallel to what is coming.

Study to shew themselves approved,then and only then will you be ready to face what is coming.
God Bless and watch over you all,in Christ Jesus,Tammy

Lot, Noah And The End Of The Age

posted by PrayerWarrior

Disclaimer: Even though there is plenty in this article about homosexuality,I want to make it clear to my readers. I do not endorse, nor condemn homosexuality. It is not my place to judge nor to decide if someone is, or is not worthy of God’s love. God loves each and every one of us with a love we cannot even come close to fathoming. He loves murderers,gay and lesbian,thieves,pastors,just every day average folks,all the same.

In Luke 17 The Lord tells us that things in the times of the end of the age,would be just like the times of Noah,and the flood. As well as the same way they were in Lot’s time, before the Lord utterly destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Evil was rampant on the earth,in those times. God said that the thoughts of men were only evil all of the time, and that man must be destroyed. The Lord was very upset within Himself that He had even made man.

That in itself is just horrifying to me, that God was so upset He felt that He should not have even made man. But let’s take a look at what was going on in Noah’s time,then we will also look at Lot’s times. We will compare those times to the time we live in right now.

And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man: they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying and giving in marriage,until the day Noah entered the Ark and the flood came and destroyed them all.It was the same as happened in the days of Lot..

Luke 17:26,27 26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
So there was rampant sin on the earth. There was evil so corrupt it made God hurt to His heart that He had made man. The Nephilim which were half man half fallen angel were very evil. The fallen angels were teaching humans all kinds of things the Lord did not want them to know. They were learning things at great speed. We here now, in this time are learning so fast we cannot even keep up with the new technology. Ask any computer tech and they will tell you, it is a constant of being schooled in the latest and greatest technology.

The angels were not supposed to leave their allotted station as spiritual beings. Yet they did. Those angels are now in hell in chains awaiting the special judgment just for them,for their disobedience to the Lords commands for them. This is found in the book of Jude, verse 6 . And angels who did not keep (care for, guard, and hold to) their own first place of power but abandoned their proper dwelling place–these He has reserved in custody in eternal chains (bonds) under the thick gloom of utter darkness until the judgment and doom of the great day.Amplified bible.

The book of Enoch though not one of the books of the bible ,was adhered to by Jewish people for centuries, explains all of this really well. That the fallen angels took on the form of man and had their way with the women of the earth the daughters of man. They taught them many things which the Lord was not willing that the people should know at those times.

We know in the time that we are living in,there is evil a plenty among us,all around us. There is evil on every corner, just waiting to pounce. There is rampant homosexuality, pedophilia, rapes and murders. There is even something called ( and this makes me ill) bestiality,that is a strange lust to be sure. Bestiality is sex with animals. There is abortion, all over the place,and for no other reason than it is inconvenient for the mother to be.

Gen 7 The LORD said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.9 These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God. God will again blot out man. Leaving a mere ten percent of humans whom He will hide away in the very end, of the end of the age time. The reason for the ten percent being left is to recreate the people on the earth during the millennial Kingdom.

LOT
Luke 17:28-33 28 “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything. 32 Remember Lot’s wife! 33 Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.

Jude verse 7 [The wicked are sentenced to suffer] just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the adjacent towns–which likewise gave themselves over to impurity and indulged in unnatural vice and sensual perversity–are laid out [in plain sight] as an exhibit of perpetual punishment [to warn] of everlasting fire.
Unnatural = 1.contrary to the laws or course of nature. 2.at variance with the character or nature of a person, animal, or plant.
3.at variance with what is normal or to be expected: the unnatural atmosphere of the place.

Vice = 1.an immoral or evil habit or practice.
2.immoral conduct; depraved or degrading behavior: a life of vice.
3.sexual immorality, especially prostitution.

The people were engaging in perverse pleasures, unnatural vices in the open where every one could see and partake, if they so chose. There were even children engaging in such perverse acts,which will be explained further in this article.

The most common response to the question “What was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah?” is that it was homosexuality. That is how the term “sodomy” came to be used to refer to anal sex between two men, whether consensual or forced. Clearly, homosexuality was part of why God destroyed the two cities. The men of Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to perform homosexual gang rape on the two angels (who were disguised as men). At the same time, it is not biblical to say that homosexuality was the only reason why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

Ezekiel 16:49-50 declares, “Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me…” The Hebrew word translated “detestable” refers to something that is morally disgusting and is the exact same word used in Leviticus 18:22 that refers to homosexuality as an “abomination.” Similarly, Jude 7 declares, “…Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion.” So, again, while homosexuality was not the only sin the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah indulged in, it does appear to be the primary reason for the destruction of the cities.

Those who try to explain away the biblical condemnations of homosexuality claim that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was inhospitality. The men of Sodom and Gomorrah were certainly being inhospitable. There is probably nothing more inhospitable than homosexual gang rape. But to say God completely destroyed two cities and all their inhabitants for being inhospitable seriously misses the point. While Sodom and Gomorrah were guilty of many other sins, homosexuality was the reason God poured fiery sulfur on the cities, completely destroying them and all of their inhabitants. To this day, the area where Sodom and Gomorrah were located remains a desolate wasteland. Sodom and Gomorrah serve as a powerful example of how God feels about sin in general, and homosexuality specifically.

Our Times
Today we have sin in all it’s forms all around us. It is getting so that i do not read signs anymore,as I drive down the road. Due to the explicit ads everywhere. I was remarking to my husband today as we drove along look at this look at that man it is pretty disgusting around the world these days. Not only that but the world at large is heating up and chaos is now on it’s way to all parts of the world,coming to an area near you very soon.

Here is the ten commandments and let’s see how many of them are now being looked past.
Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV
1 “I am the Lord your God, you shall have no other gods before Me.
2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
3 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

4 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

5 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
6 “You shall not murder.
7 “You shall not commit adultery.
8 “You shall not steal.
9 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

Too many, even Christians, have a different god than the biblical God. They have created the god who suits them and their needs. They do not pay attention to the word of God which God assures us is how we get to know Him.
There are idols all over the world of peoples gods. These are not even real gods they are sticks wood and stone. Those are graven images. The Lords name is taken in vain all over the place all over the tv, and in person you hear all the time, people calling out the name of the Lord in swears and just all the time. It is disgusting and He will hold them accountable for it.

Hardly anyone anywhere keeps the Sabbath as holy any more. The sabbath is not Sunday. It is the seventh day which is and always has been Saturday.Honor your father and mother,that one is so seriously not adhered to these days. Kids and even adults alike do not honor their parents. They are the first ones to point out the flaws of their parents.

Murder is every where. There is murder for hire,murderous rages,mass murder, hatred all over the place. Jesus said if you hate someone, it as good as if you murdered them in your heart. Adultery is so bad it is treated as if it is not even a problem these days. Some people these days even commit adultery with their spouses consent. Orgies and such things going on. Jesus said if you lust after someone of the opposite sex it is as good as having committed adultery already. Lust is the ad seller. They use sexual innuendo to sell everything!!

Thievery is also rampant. There are thieves and robbers all over the place. It is getting even worse,and I suspect it will keep getting worse as people begin to starve and go hungry for lack of money,food,and gas. People have lost their jobs, and are now running out of unemployment benefits. The government is saying the unemployment rate has dropped,but if anything it has increased people.

They do not count any longer,those who have exhausted their unemployment benefits as unemployed. Those people are not counted in the unemployment rates. It is lies we are being told. Which takes us to our next sin. Lying is everywhere. It is so bad that you cannot even begin to know what is truth or what is lies according to everyone. Truth is no longer absolute in this world,it is according to liberals,relative. Truth is relative to everyone else. Meaning truth is truth according to ones own beliefs. What a load of garbage that is!

Covetousness is actually jealousy to the point of,people saying within themselves,well how come they have this that or the other thing and I don’t? Why should this person have this life when i don’t? Our government is now actually promoting covetousness. They think it is their job to share the wealth. To basically be some kind of modern day Robin Hood. They want to take people who have worked their tails off to get where they are,and bring them down to a lower level of wealth, so they can take their hard earned money and give it to some sleazy schlep who has never worked a day for it.

Yes our world is not a lovely place any more. We are assured evil would walk among men again in the end times,and it is evident in every moment of our lives. But people here is a warning. It is not half as bad as it is going to be. Often times I have heard folks speak of the old bible times and say they wished they could have been alive in those times. Well grab onto your suspenders and hold on cause here we go. Your going to be alive for the most amazing things to occur as have never occurred before in the history of the world.
May God Bless and watch over you and yours,may He strengthen you all, and may you all find joy in the preparation for the times coming.
We are commanded to love one another as we love the Lord,I am working hard at this particular command,I pray that you all do too.
Love in Christ,Tammy

Egypt In End Times Prophecy

posted by PrayerWarrior

I thought this week it would be appropriate to jump ahead a ways. In light of the Egyptian uprising. And just how it all fit’s into the end times. There is much said about Egypt in the end times,and none of it good for them or the rest of the world either,but most especially Israel.You see the whole middle east in the end times, indeed the whole world is going to come against Israel,and the Lord assures those who harm Israel,or even bother with it, will suffer greatly for it.

The exact verse is,  Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.  Egypt for the past 30 years has been paid to not come against Israel,by us America. Now Obama is telling Mubarak to step down,to step aside. The Muslim brother hood is trying to gain power in Egypt,and the people want it.

The thing is when the Egyptians get what they think they want, it is going to be even worse, than they think it is right now. The people in Egypt as of this moment are going hungry,there is no place to go get food. When people are incited to violence already before the hunger,it is a lethal combination. I will explain according to prophecies, in Ezekiel,and Isaiah just what is going on, and what is to come  in the future, with Egypt.

I will skip the first verse of Isaiah chapter 19, because that has gone forward to the time of the day of the Lord. We know none of this has happened to the specifications as of yet,and thus must be future occurrences. There have at times been drought in the land of Egypt,but not to this degree. I will also stop at verse 15 due to the same reasons stated earlier,this is the future it speaks of, as in the millennial kingdom,when Christ will reign on the earth. The Millennial kingdom will be a thousand year reign of Christ on the earth,after the battle of Armageddon.

2 “ I will set Egyptians against Egyptians;  Everyone will fight against his brother,  And everyone against his neighbor, City against city, kingdom against kingdom. 3 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst;  I will destroy their counsel, And they will consult the idols and the charmers, The mediums and the sorcerers. 4 And the Egyptians I will give  Into the hand of a cruel master,  And a fierce king will rule over them,” Says the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

Though we do not hear of anyone consulting idols,nor mediums and sorcerers who knows they could be. But we do see city against city all the peoples against one another. They have found their side and that is why they are fighting amongst themselves. God will hand the people over to a fierce king,or leader. They do want a new leader,many of them want the muslim brotherhood to become their leaders. That will be very very bad for Israel,and America, and even the Egyptians.

We know there is a system of government coming that is going to be the whole worlds government. We also know through bible prophecy that the one world leader will be a satan sanctioned leader. He will be like satans own son,called the antichrist. Could we be seeing here in Egypt that leader taking over? Is this the start of the end times,the last 7 years of the world? Do you think I am crazy for saying this? If so your not alone,and that is fine with me. I know I will not win any popularity contests for my speaking the truth. that is fine with me. I am not here to win your approval,but God’s.

5 The waters will fail from the sea,   And the river will be wasted and dried up.  6 The rivers will turn foul;  The brooks of defense will be emptied and dried up; The reeds and rushes will wither. 7 The papyrus reeds by the River, by the mouth of the River,  And everything sown by the River, Will wither, be driven away, and be no more.  8 The fishermen also will mourn; All those will lament who cast hooks into the River,  And they will languish who spread nets on the waters.

We have yet to see the previous four verses fulfilled,but this is going to happen,and not too far in the future. Look at verse 6 and let’s ponder this together.So let’s look at the Nile river. That is the river that this prophecy speaks of that will dry up. The Nile has a dam in Aswan Egypt called the high dam. This high dam was built to improve farming conditions, and in actuality it has been worse for the farming community. Now it says the brooks of defense will be emptied and dried up,and the rivers will turn foul. If water does not flow it becomes stagnant and foul smelling.

If the people who control the dam close it up,and we see here they will,then the farms will dry completely and the rivers and brooks will become stagnant and not flow. The fisherman will no longer have work,there will be no more food grown. The word emptied is the one that really makes me think this is not a drying up as in a natural drying,no it sounds more to me as though this is a man made disaster. The people who fish and cast net’s will languish, meaning they will sit and do nothing.

9 Moreover those who work in fine flax And those who weave fine fabric will be ashamed; 10 And its foundations will be broken  All who make wages will be troubled of soul.   11 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools; Pharaoh’s wise counselors give foolish counsel. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise, The son of ancient kings?” 12 Where are they? Where are your wise men? Let them tell you now  And let them know what the LORD of hosts has purposed against Egypt.

Verses 9-12 talks more about the languishing going on in that time. No one has any work none of the people. Let’s face it these peoples lives are, or have been, what they have been, due to the Nile river. It is that countries life blood. The cotton to make clothing and fine linens will have dried up too. All who make wages,will no longer make wages. Imagine the devastation?

All their wise men have become as fools,they give foolish advice,they must be the ones who advise the ruler to shut off the waters of the Nile. But truly that is foolhardy advice. They will bring about their own destruction. We know also though from verse two,that what God is saying in verse 12, He is setting everyone against one another this is what He means here by my purpose for Egypt. And making them make foolish choices thinking themselves so wise I imagine.

13 The princes of Zoan have become fools  The princes of Noph are deceived; They have also deluded Egypt, Those who are the mainstay of its tribes. 14 The LORD has mingled a perverse spirit in her midst; And they have caused Egypt to err in all her work, As a drunken man staggers in his vomit. 15 Neither will there be any work for Egypt, Which the head or tail,Palm branch or bulrush, may do.

It goes on here, from verse 13-15 to just confirm even more in the mind, that this is God’s doing,the one making them make such foolish choices. Caused them to err in all her work. As I said at the first part of this,God will cut in pieces those who burden themselves with Israel,and who come against her.

Now let’s look at bits and pieces of Ezekiel and what that book has to say about Egypt. There is so much about Egypt and the end times that I canot possibly put it all in here,or we would be here for a week, as I tried to explain all of  it .Ezekiel 29:2-16

2 “Son of man, turn and face Egypt and prophesy against Pharaoh the king and all the people of Egypt. 3 Give them this message from the Sovereign Lord:  “I am your enemy, O Pharaoh, king of Egypt—   you great monster, lurking in the streams of the Nile. For you have said, ‘The Nile River is mine;  I made it for myself.’ 4 I will put hooks in your jaws and drag you out on the land with fish sticking to your scales.

5 I will leave you and all your fish stranded in the wilderness to die. You will lie unburied on the open ground, for I have given you as food to the wild animals and birds.  6 All the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord, for to Israel you were just a staff made of reeds. 7 When Israel leaned on you, you splintered and broke and stabbed her in the armpit. When she put her weight on you, you gave way,  and her back was thrown out of joint. 8 “Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will bring an army against you, O Egypt, and destroy both people and animals.

9 The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord. “Because you said, ‘The Nile River is mine; I made it,’ 10 I am now the enemy of both you and your river. I will make the land of Egypt a totally desolate wasteland, from Migdol to Aswan, as far south as the border of Ethiopia. 11 For forty years not a soul will pass that way, neither people nor animals. It will be completely uninhabited. 12 I will make Egypt desolate, and it will be surrounded by other desolate nations. Its cities will be empty and desolate for forty years, surrounded by other ruined cities. I will scatter the Egyptians to distant lands.

13 “But this is what the Sovereign Lord also says: At the end of the forty years I will bring the Egyptians home again from the nations to which they have been scattered. 14 I will restore the prosperity of Egypt and bring its people back to the land of Pathros in southern Egypt from which they came. But Egypt will remain an unimportant, minor kingdom. 15 It will be the lowliest of all the nations, never again great enough to rise above its neighbors. 16 “Then Israel will no longer be tempted to trust in Egypt for help. Egypt’s shattered condition will remind Israel of how sinful she was to trust Egypt in earlier days. Then Israel will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.”

I do believe that this whole chapter is talking about the same times as Isaiah chapter 19. Isaiah started off at the end, just like a lot of stories begin at the end and work their way up to the point,and then beyond to finish it off. The finish of course would be the day of the Lord,but this goes on further to bring us 40 years into the millennial kingdom. We know that this prophecy has not been fulfilled as of yet,because Egypt is still a very great nation. No one ever destroyed her so utterly.

It is going to be some very interesting times coming on the scene of the world’s battles. If Egypt falls Israel is going to be very lonely. We know that our country is slowly but surely turning their backs on Israel,and we and England have been their only allies,with Egypt’s president holding off  the Egyptians from attacking Israel,as well as much of the middle east. Now well now things are just getting crazy.

So far since Egyptians have decided they do not want their president or their leader in office any longer,Jordan has dismissed their government, completely got rid of every person in their government and cabinet. Yemen is on the verge of overthrowing their government.

Things are heating up in the middle east and that is the hub if you will,where so much of the end time prophecies are connected to. Saudi Arabia will be over taken in a heart beat if Egypt is taken over by the Muslim brotherhood. Iran wants this all to happen of course,and they all have one thing in common,the destruction of Israel would make them all very happy. We know that cannot happen though. But that is for another time.
God Bless and keep close watch over you,in all you do.

The Tower Of Babel And The End Times

posted by PrayerWarrior

It has always interested me how the Tower of Babel,coincides with the end times. In that the people of the times of the tower of Babel,were all of one mind,and that in the end times it would be the same way. Now it is easy to see that the governments of the world,through the U.N. are working to come together. Working on making us a one world government,and one world currency,and eventually a one world religion as well.

The bible tells us this is going to be the case in the end times,and we can see it all coming together. At first I found it all to be a very slow occurrence,now it is moving at an ever greater speed. As we come closer and closer to the fulfillment of bible prophecy,it will move at lightning speeds. We must be completely prepared for what is coming, so that it does not catch us unaware. Therefore surprising us into shocked immobility.

God prepared us for all things to come, through his word, so that we who adhere to the word, will not be shocked into being unable to do anything, or to stand up under such hard times that will be coming. Now I will show the parallels between the tower of Babel and the end times. I pray that the Lord will lead my hand, so that you may understand what the Lord would have you know from this particular occurrence.

In Genesis chapter 11 verses 1-9 We see here a people of one speech, one mind,wanting to stay this way, as well as make a name for themselves.

1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Now I want to concentrate on verse 6. And the Lord said,Behold,the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them,which they have imagined to do. The amplified bible says it like this, 6 And the Lord said, Behold, they are one people and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do, and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them. So there is a whole lot of power in numbers of people being of the same mind, and the same purpose.

That is why unity in the Body of Christ is a very powerful thing as well. We should not have this in fighting about doctrine,within the Christian community.

Anyhow. In building this tower the people left God out of the equation. They decided they were great and this tower was like a monument to their own greatness. God seems to be saying here also that, with them all being of one mind they can reach greater heights of power. That indeed nothing would be impossible to them. This is what the world is coming back to. In every part of the world Governments are failing their own countries,their own people,it seems even, at least here in America,on purpose.

So that the world will have one government. So that there can be one world currency,as well. I mean the countries around the world,their economies are collapsing, as ours will soon collapse, due to reaching the point of 90% debt, to GDP. GDP = gross domestic product: the measure of an economy adopted by the United States in 1991; the total market values of goods and services produced by workers and capital within a nation’s borders during a given period (usually 1 year).

Once the 90% mark has been reached then hyper inflation, or the collapse of the money, or both will occur. We cannot keep adding debt when we are over drawn. They cannot keep printing money, it makes the dollar lose value at each printing. Besides the fact that the machines printing money running 24 hours a day 7 days a week, cannot now keep up with the demand for more money. This also destroys the worth of the money being printed,because there is nothing backing the money. China has our debt and they do not want to give us any more money,due to the wasting of it, for the last two years.

Now to get to some parallels of the tower of Babel,and us today. Notice how it says they were making bricks? Bricks are man made rocks,they are all the same no difference in materials used to make them, shaped from the same mold. This is a metaphor for people,and how the government wants us all to be the same with the exceptions of the elite,the rich,the powerful people. God made us like stones,all different,all unique in our make up. Whenever God has a monument made to him,it is always with stones. Rocks not formed by human hands.

I was watching a Glenn Beck show recently and there was a man called Rabbi Daniel Lapin on the show. About three weeks before Rabbi Lapin came on the show I was planning out my tower of Babel end times parallel’s bible study. To my immense liking,this show was all about the tower of babel and the world today,or the Headlines of today,and how they mesh. Rabbi Lapin made the connection of the bricks and the stones. It was so good I did not want the show to end.

Also the other thing Rabbi Lapin said that was so very interesting is this. The mortar that holds the bricks together is materialism. Meaning the way the people stay as one, or think of themselves as one, was materialism. They had the same stuff. The same level of wealth or poverty, depending on how you look at it.

Here are Rabbi Lapins exact words. “And it’s very important because the lesson from ancient Jewish wisdom here is that you can bond people and unify people with a sense of common spiritual purpose, but if you’re going to eliminate the spiritual — if you’re going to take God entirely out of the picture — then you can unify people through materialism”.

“Get people in debt, use your credit cards, folks. Buy stuff. Acquire stuff. And then you can rent storage facilities to keep the stuff you bought that you don’t need. But that way, we’re all in this together and we can all talk about the great commercials we saw during the football game. And we’re all in this great materialistic splurge because it will unite people”.

“And what any tyrant knows is that you cannot enslave a people that believe in the boss (In God). You just can’t. And so, therefore, any tyranny will always begin to develop a hostility to traditional biblical faith, a hostility to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, a hostility to biblical commitment of any kind at all”.

“You always find that, whether it’s Cuba or the Soviet Union or anywhere else, secularism becomes the religion of the day. In fact, I gave it a name — secular fundamentalism, I think, is the religion of the day. Anybody who is following the Babel blueprint wants to eliminate distinctions between individuals and between countries and bring it all together under one tower of government”.

We are seeing evidence of this all over the world, through the U.N. They are working hard to unite the world. Look at the plans for M.A.E.D, Mutually assured economic destruction. Meaning if one government in the world fails,or better yet falls,we all fall. It is what is happening. France,Spain,Ireland,Greece, Portugal,they have or are, on the verge of collapse. Greece has collapsed,and what you do not see on the main stream media’s news, is the extreme riot’s going on there. The people are starving and so they are taking to the streets,rioting and fighting and destroying everything. Killing one another. It is horrendous.

But the sad thing is it is coming here, and a lot sooner than you can imagine. Have you all noticed the prices of food and gas going up? Everything is going up because it has to, to deal with our debt,which now we cannot even touch. I heard an American citizen the other day say listen folks you might want to teach your self and children how to speak mandarin Chinese language, because soon China will own us. I believe it.

Now to finish this up. The way that this all relates,is this.The people were of one mind,one religion which was secularism. And our world wide governments, are working to have us all come to being of one mind, as well as doing their level best to make us all secularists. They are killing off our freedoms one by one,and it wont be long until they have made our Constitution null and void. They pretend this allegiance to the constitution when in actuality they hate our constitution,they find it bothersome,and antiquated.

The people of the times of the tower of Babel were given different languages,and were moved to other parts of the earth, to keep them from coming together. Now God does not have that option. Now the end will come when you see the one world government,the one world currency,which I believe will actually happen first. When we see this, we know the end is very near. Because all God has left is to destroy evil. Also the one world religion. What that will be, i am not 100% sure of, but I personally think it will be Islam.

They (all the leaders in the world) are working on making all of us little people into slaves,into the same as one another,not stones but bricks. I personally plan on remaining the stone God made me to be. I will not go along blithely with the worlds governments plan to make me a slave. Nor will I give up my strong belief in the Lord and His saving grace. I may have to suffer some horrid stuff,but I am the Lord’s and will be no others.

Here is the Glenn Beck Program if you would like to see it. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,602223,00.html it is part of it with a 17:43 minute recording, I do believe you can watch the rest of it too. But if not, you can read the rest of it. If you cannot click on the link just open a new tab, then copy and paste it into your browser.

Let us not think ourselves as mere bricks,but as stones hand crafted by God.

Love in Christ,Tammy
