The end is never ending…

And there will be false prophets among you

Too many people have seen the solar eclipse of this last month as a sign of the end.

Numerous news sources are reporting on Christian numerologist David Meade, a self-proclaimed “researcher,” predicting that a series of apocalyptic events will begin on Sept. 23 and, “a major part of the world will not be the same.”

David Meade, a theoretician and researcher, told The Washington Post that an astronomical event will occur September 23, 2017, and it will lead to Earth’s destruction. He explained that his reasoning is because of several Bible verses and a series of numerical codes

 Some take this to mean the world is beginning to end, others actually think it is the end. Does anyone read the Bible on this subject or are they are flying in cloud 9 with their instrument panel broken?

First, there is no such thing a Christian numerologist; I found this out by doing biblical numerology. Only Kiddin’. Meade is another acrostic prognosticator that discovers the secret themes and dates by math and other metods in the Bible, not unlike those who do bible codes. The Bible was written in words we can understand, God did not outline secrets to be discovered by fringe theoreticians at the end of the age. This mentality of discovering secrets is becoming cultic and can be occultic! The Lord spoke in words we can all understand. It is written.

According to Meade, the rogue planet Nibiru, called Planet X, is on a collision course with Earth, which will bring world-ending tsunamis and earthquakes.

Nibiru was first mentioned in 1976 by author Zecharia Sitchin in his book The 12th Planet. One can hear his past interviews on the art bell program Coast to coast.

The numerologist claims the dates of recent events like the Great American Solar Eclipse and Hurricane Harvey’s flooding of Texas were all marked in the Bible. Meade now says his “Planet X theory” lines up with more bible codes and ancient markers on the Egyptian pyramids.

When the trumpet judgments of Revelation begin to appear, we don’t know the exact sequence or what countries or people will be primarily affected.”

  I suppose the book of Revelation can’t take place the way it was written, the judgments affect us all over the world. But then there is Mt.24  that takes place before the period called the Tribulation.

Meade has said It is possible at the end of October we may be about to enter into the 7-year Tribulation period, to be followed by a Millennium of peace

The Nibiru conspiracy theory has had a life of its own for years. A 2012 statement by national geographic.

If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth … astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye.

All the hoopla on what’s to take place  https://youtu.be/LZIpIi9CnGo

In a 2012 statement, NASA called anything involving Nibiru as being a “hoax.”

While I can’t say I fully subscribe to everything NASA says, especially on unknown things that continue to appear (UFO’s), this is one I have no choice but to side with them.  

Meade “He says in his book, right after the initial solar flare risk I see the Rapture of the true Church. Okay, … and what about the false church that tells us how the rapture will occur.

Planet X signals the rapture? Or does believing in planet X diminish intellectual and biblical sensibility? Is Planet X populated by nation Z?

What’s the difference between fact finding or fantasy day dreaming. It shows people can believe nearly anything today and actually think it’s true. His book goes on sale after the 23, or wait for the next one… with new dates

I had someone tell a year ago what would happen on certain dates and I told him that he is wrong and asked if he will repent when the date goes by and none of his predictions happen.  He said he would but he was sooo absolutely sure that it’s not necessary to agree with what I asked. Well it went by and I wrote him and got no response. And so it is with 99.9%  of people on the net that write these books and upload their videos.

These pathetic primal postulations by people who are ungrounded in Scripture and crave attention. And the people that immediately listen to them are looking for sci fi realities, not Bible prophesy being fulfilled.

Rev 12:1-6 a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

 Revelation 12 is symbolic of the literal events. It describes a woman being “clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of 12 stars on her head. The woman gives birth to a boy who is to “rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”

The woman threatened by a fiery red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads represents Satan in his anger and authority (also his future kingdom) trying to stop the birth. He took a third of the fallen angels to earth during Christ’s ministry to oppose him   

The woman is Israel and her 12 tribes. The boy is Jesus who comes from one of the 12 tribes, who ascends to the Father. It then speaks of Israel fleeing the land in the tribulation to Bozrah for the last half of the Tribulation where she realizes who the Messiah is, and repents and all of Israel that survived is saved. This can all be found in the Scripture.

Gary Ray, a writer for the evangelical Christian publication Unsealed, tells us this one of several astronomical signs that the day when Christians will be whisked away from the Earth.

It begins with the constellation Virgo, which represents a woman.

Ray wrote that Virgo will be covered in sunlight and positioned over the moon and under exactly nine stars and three planets. Jupiter will move out of Virgo, symbolizing that the woman is giving birth to the boy described in the Revelation.

It begins with the image of a woman in space and the Biblical verse from the Book of Revelations captioned throughout. Suddenly, the dragon appears as she’s in labor and intimidates her with the intent of “devouring her child.”

September 23, 2017: This heavenly sign appears over Israel and Jerusalem,” the video caption continues, showing the dragon and the woman moving across the sky.

“This sign has never happened before,” the text reads, describing the woman depicted as representing “Mary” and the nation of Israel.

Suddenly, a live-action shot of people screaming and running from a disaster is shown.

“No one knows with certainty the day or hour, but faithful servants are watchful,” the video concludes.

All these mean have done is make a mockery of prophecy and have misrepresented the Lord who spoke truth. The world looks at Christianity with disdain because of their blah blah blah  interpretations. See https://yourcountdown.to/the-end-of-the-world

Will there be any repercussions? Doubtful.

Meade interprets this passage as referring to the constellation of Virgo, which is often depicted as a woman. Currently, Virgo advances through the sky ahead of the moon, and with the sun. Ahead of the constellation are the nine stars of Leo, along with the planets Mercury, Mars, and Venus. Meade believes these stars and planets are the "crown of twelve stars" in the prophecy.

 What kind of Christian actually believes this stuff? Those who have an inclination to believe anything. It is those who have no grounding in the Scripture, be the literal interpretation. The make the literal symbolic, spiritualize word and metaphors and use the worlds ways to interpret what may be plainly written or is interpreted by Scripture itself.

 The obvious clue is using astrology. This is not like those magi, astronomers in Babylon saw the star in the sky and knew the Messiah was born, they were far more biblically based.

Have we forgotten December 21, 2012, the end according to the Mayan calendar. They were so sure and what happened? Nothing.  The concept of an apocalypse attracts everyone, except for the real one. Welcome to the new age movement in Christianity.

We can categorize this as Christian entertainment

Maybe TBN or Daystar can give people like this their own show so the church can compete with the sci-fi channel and the supernatural shows that appear on regular TV.

Then we most recently have …

Some Orange County residents were stunned Thursday, Sept. 21, when television programming was suddenly interrupted for about a minute with an ominous message predicting the end of the world. http://www.ocregister.com/2017/09/21/end-of-world-prediction-interrupts-tv-broadcasts-in-orange-county/

We are told September 23rd is a sign of the NEARNESS of the rapture.

This should all be put alongside the red moon scares of the progressive prophetic Bible teachers who look for signs in the sky.

Here’s a sign for all to see, the Apostasy, where people who profess Christ but mislead multitudes with their false representation of Jesus and interpretation of the word. They left the word and have you leave the word and both their faith and yours ends up in ruins. This is what we are seeing by the very ones who are telling us about all these signs the Bible says nothing about.

The sign we had all better keep close is the one Jesus spoke of for those who seek signs. Matthew 12:39-40 He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.”

If you do not stand in the gospel (1 Cor.15:1), you will be removed from the truth elsewhere.  Don’t let these prognosticators remove you from the truth. Your safety depends on you checking the Scripture on their interpretations.
