The Great Shaking of 2025

As we have seen already this year, the world is experiencing a great shaking in 2025, which will continue throughout the year. The great shaking is necessary to wake people up to the fact that Jesus Christ is coming soon, and to dislodge sin and idolatry. As the Word of God says:

"At that time his voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, 'Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.' The words 'once more' indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire." (Heb 12:26-29).

Everything that can be shaken will be shaken.

We saw many shakings last year in the months leading up to 2025, such as Hurricane Helene that devastated homes, cars, and lives across multiple US states and cost $225 - 250 billion in damage, as western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee suffered the brunt of the damage, which will take years to recover from. Moreover, the US Geological Service (USGS) has reported an unprecedented spike in volcanic activity across the Pacific rim. We also saw so-called "drone" incursions from UFOs for three months from October through December 2024 across 43 US states, 19 other countries, plus one US district and one commonwealth, as I detailed in my article Worldwide "Drone" Incursions. 

As we entered into the New Year of 2025, the shakings began to come in rapid succession one after another, and they continue until today, but here are some of them:

There are many more shakings that have happened and are happening that are not recorded here, but there are too many to keep up with. This should be enough of a sampling to help you see that we are no longer in normal times as usual, but are in the period when the world is going through birth pains as the return of Christ draws near.

As Susan Cummings was told by the Lord in a message she received from Him in a dream: "The Great Shaking has only just begun in reality, but I showed you so that you would know My Heart in it. The Shaking is necessary to dislodge all of the deeply entrenched sins and idolatry of the nation. Much is entrenched beneath the land and has been there from the beginning. But, I am visiting the land, and it will be shaken so that it can be freed. The mountains erupted from the great pressures that have been building and from the battle that has been waged over the destiny of your land." -- from Susan Cummings dream called "The Summons"

Moreover, judgments and wrath of God that will take place after Jesus comes to rapture His Bride will make this current period of birth pains seem fairly easy in comparison. The seven-year period after the rapture is the time of punishment that is coming upon the whole earth to test those who live upon the earth. It's also call the Great Tribulation or the time of Jacob's trouble. The prophet Jeremiah wrote:

“This is what the Lord says: ‘Cries of fear are heard– terror, not peace. Ask and see: Can a man bear children? Then why do I see every strong man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor, every face turned deathly pale? How awful that day will be! None will be like it. It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be saved out of it." (Jer 30:5-7).

Closing Words

These are signs of the times, people. Everything that can be shaken will be shaken. It's time for everyone to wake up, repent, and put your faith in Jesus Christ, who is coming back very, very soon. There's no time left to waste, playing games. Jesus is coming back right away, and you need to get your life right with Jesus right now. Please don't miss the rapture and be left behind in the Great Tribulation, which is set to begin at any moment, which will be hell on earth for seven years and make the Great Shaking of 2025 pale in comparison.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

The Seven Seals Being Opened in Real Time

The book of Revelation speaks of a scroll with seven seals that will be opened by the Lamb in heaven during the final days leading up to His return to earth. These seals will unleash judgments upon the earth that the saints will be here to witness. When the Lord opens the first four seals, it releases the four horses of the apocalypse, which are as follows:

First Seal
"I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, 'Come!' I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest." (Rev 6:1-2)

White Horse at DNC Denver 2008

The first horse of Revelation is a white horse, and notice that its rider held a bow but no arrows. I think this is significant. The rider of this first horse rides forth as a conqueror bent on conquest, but he is not using ammunition. He is using more peaceful means to conquer. He was given a crown. In my opinion, this represents the initial emergence of the antichrist. It could occur before most people realize that he is the antichrist.

One historical event that comes to mind, which could have fulfilled the biblical events that were foretold to happen when the first seal is opened, is Obama's apology tour of the world that he did right after he was elected President in 2008. He spent an inordinate amount of time traveling abroad, trying to win the favor of many nations, as if he was campaigning to be President of the entire wold. That's just an example of what may be depicted by the rider on the first horse. Interestingly, there were many other biblical signs that accompanied him.

Obama in Oval Office with crown, throne, and bow

For example, when he accepted the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, the stage on which he gave his acceptance speech was modeled after the ancient temple of Pergamum, which was considered in Scripture to be the throne of satan. There was also a statue of a giant white horse (pictured above) standing on its hind legs atop the wide screen on which Obama's face appeared. The Denver Broncos icon, "Bucky the Bronco" provided important symbolism for that historic event.

Later as President on June 3, 2015, as he carried out his destructive policies, he personally released a photo of himself (shown here), which pictured him sitting in the Oval Office at the White House with a large bow on the table in front of him. The image had been digitally altered to include a throne of swords and a crown on his lap, but since he released the image himself, it seems that was the image he wanted to portray, which included some of the same symbols of the rider on the white horse that is released when the first seal is opened. It may seem too hard for most to believe, but it actually happened. Some people may doubt that anyone would be so blatant about it if it were really true, yet those in the occult often like to display their symbols right in plain view for all to see. For more on this, please see my article called The Antichrist.

Second Seal
"When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, 'Come!' Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword." (Rev 6:3-4)

The rider on this second horse, which is fiery red, had power to take peace from the earth and make men kill each other. When you consider all the wars and rumors of war happening on the earth, you can see how this has already been unfolding. You have the Iran crisis and the threat of war with them that could begin World War III. At the same time you have the threat of North Korea launching nuclear missiles and starting a war. Then there is the continuing cold war with Russia, and the Syrian conflict, which the US, Russia, and Turkey have gotten involved in. So there is no peace on earth right now, as people fear the possibility of WW III (see here for more on that).

But it's not just the threat of wars that involve military personnel, it's also the constant stream of massacres and mass shootings. All over the world there are armed madmen terrorizing civilians in stores, streets, malls, and churches. There are people killing each other every day.  This seems to me to indicate that the second seal has already been opened.

Third Seal
Scripture says: "When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, 'Come!' I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, 'Two pounds of wheat for a day's wages, and six pounds of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!'" (Rev 6:5-6)

When two pounds of wheat cost a day's wages, and six pounds of barley cost a day's wages, it becomes very expensive to eat. I reported in December 2019 that a man in Puerto Rico named Rene had a dream in September 2019, in which he saw the black horse walking through New York City.  Here is a link to the video with his dream:

Two End Time Dreams/Giant Black Horse NY!

If this brother actually saw the black horse of Revelation chapter 6 that comes forth when the third seal is opened, then that would indicate that the third seal has been opened. The fact that the giant black horse was in New York City, which is the financial capital of this country and the rest of the world, fits perfectly with the economic turmoil that will come when the third seal is opened.

Update: This article was originally posted on February 20, 2020, but a fulfillment of this section on the third seal occurred on March 9, 2020. On that day, which will now be known throughout history as Black Monday, the stock market crashed worldwide amid economic fears related to the coronavirus. According to Wikipedia, "The 2020 stock market crash is a global stock market crash that began on 20 February 2020 during the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 Index and the NASDAQ-100 all fell into a correction on 27 February during one of the worst trading weeks since the financial crisis of 2007–08." It is interesting that the global stock market crash began on February 20th, unbeknownst to me, which was the day I posted this article originally.

Meanwhile, the price of oil also crashed on March 8, 2020. Wikipedia states: "On 8 March 2020, Saudi Arabia initiated a price war with Russia, triggering a major fall in the price of oil, with US oil prices falling by 34%, crude oil falling by 26%, and brent oil falling by 24%."

Moreover, China's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) plunged 40% during first quarter. Goldman Sachs economists forecast a 24% drop in the US GDP for second quarter 2020, following a 6% decline in the first quarter. Morgan Stanley economists joined in with Goldman Sachs predicting a 30% drop in second quarter. In order to put that into perspective for you, if the world GDP is normally growing by 3% and slows down to 1%, that signals a recession, because any growth below 2% is classified as a recession. Yet the prospects for this year are even worse than that, considering that on March 25, 2020, IHS Markit revised down its forecast for world real GDP growth in 2020 to 0.7%.

Consequently, financial analysts are warning that "A global recession is inevitable" in 2020. In fact, there are even fears of a depression. For example, Alvine Capital Management's chairman Stephen Isaacs has stated that the coronavirus crisis is unprecedented, and that we are facing a 1929-like crisis that will be worse than 1987 and worse than 2008. Analysts are warning of "utter carnage" as oil crashes and global stocks tumble. Wall Street investors speculate 5,000,000 jobs will be lost in April, and that the month will begin with two million losses. They are expecting US unemployment rates to average 12.8% during second quarter of 2020. Let this be a confirmation and a wake up call to everyone reading this article that what I have written is truly happening. It seems the third seal has indeed been opened.

Fourth Seal
"When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, 'Come!' I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth." (Rev 6:7-8)

This fourth horse is a pale color and some translations say it is green. The Greek word is chlōros meaning greenish, or pale. It reminds us of a person who is dying, and their face becomes ghostly pale, even greenish. It does not look healthy, but looks like death. The rider on this pale horse is named Death, and hell is following close behind him. Notice what they have the power to do, which is to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. So this seal unleashes more killing of people, not only by the sword, but also by famine, plague, and wild beasts.

I have seen videos and heard news reports of wild animals attacking people. I think it is on the rise and we'll probably continue to see it happening more and more.

I have already written elsewhere about the many modern plagues taking place in our day, including the bat plague in Australia, the locust plague in Africa, the swine fever plague that is killing millions of pigs, and the coronavirus known as COVID-19 that has already killed over 359,903. And some of these plagues are threatening to cause famine, which is also being brought about through floods and droughts around the world. Therefore, it is my opinion that the fourth seal may have already been opened. For more on this, please see my articles End Time Plagues and Coronavirus Origin, Reason, and Remedy.

Fifth Seal
"When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, 'How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?' Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been." (Rev 6:9-11)

After this fifth seal is opened, there will be mass martyrdom of the saints, as many who follow Jesus will be put to death for His Word and for their testimony, until the full number of those who are to be killed have been killed. There will also be prison camps set up, and they will be worse than the Nazi concentration camps. As you prepare yourself for this, I recommend reading my article, The Glory of Martyrdom for Christ. You need to be filled with the Holy Spirit and baptized with fire beforehand, in order to help you endure this.

Sixth Seal
"I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, 'Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?'" (Rev 6:12-17)

Prophetic Words of Jesus in the Gospels

As I explained in my previous article called Synching Up the Seven Seals with the Gospels, the sixth seal correlates with what Jesus taught that before His return there would be signs in the sun, moon and stars, nations in anguish, tsunamis, terror, and heavenly bodies shaken.

“Immediately after the distress of those days 'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’" (Mt 24:49)

"But in those days, following that distress, 'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'" (Mar 13:24-25)

“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken." (Lk 21:25-26).

Jesus taught that after the fulfillment of these signs, which seem to correlate with the sixth seal, then He will come and send His angels, and they will gather His elect from the four winds.

For more on this, you may see Darkened Skies in the Last Days.

Seventh Seal
When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God's people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God's people, went up before God from the angel's hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake. Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them." (Rev 8:1-6).

The fact that there there will be silence in heaven for about half an hour, when this seal is opened, may indicate that there will be a brief, holy pause right before everything gets much worse. The seven angels who stand before God are given seven trumpets, the prayers of all God's people are going up before the throne, and then on earth there will be peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake, as the seven angels prepare to sound their trumpets.

Closing Words
When the first four seals are opened, it releases the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, which will then run together concurrently. The signs around us seem to indicate that this has already happened.

Things will get worse and worse from here on out. The famine will continue becoming more and more critical. Disasters will continue becoming more and more severe. People will continue fighting and killing each other more and more. Floods and droughts will continue to be more and more frequent. The climate will continue becoming more and more abnormal. The plagues will continue to get worse and worse, killing more and more people. The situation will continue to get more and more sinister.

Meanwhile, following release of the four horsemen, there are still three more seals remaining to be opened by the Lamb. The next one is the fifth, which brings on more and more martyrdom, including extermination camps. And then the sixth one will be opened, which will release a great earthquake and even shake the heavenly bodies.

What excites me is that the Lord is now calling His children to Himself, pouring out His Spirit on us, before He returns to rapture his saints up to meet Him in the clouds. You can see it everywhere, as the saints around the world (including me and my family) are receiving urgent, supernatural warnings from God to prepare for Christ's soon return. Many people are having dreams and visions of the rapture in fulfillment of Joel 2:28-29 and Acts 2:17-18 (see here for several of those dreams and visions). Many are also having dreams and visions of cataclysms about the strike the earth, such as tsunamis, asteroids, nuclear war, earthquakes, and chaos (see here for some of those). Get ready, people! Prepare while you still can. Get your house clean and in order. Repent and turn from your evil ways.

As Jesus said to the angel of the Church in Smyrna: "Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life." (Rev 2:10)

Dreams and Visions: Tsunamis, Asteroids, Nuclear, Earthquakes, Chaos

In my previous post, Rapture Dreams: Jesus is Coming Soon!, I shared with you numerous videos about the rapture that is going to take place very soon. Those who long for the appearing of our Lord Jesus are very excited about that, and we are getting ready.

However, not everyone is ready. And in case you weren't aware of it, there have also been many prophecies, visions, and dreams about tsunamis, asteroids, nuclear war, earthquakes, financial collapse, martial law, and chaos coming to America. Many have seen what the Great Tribulation is going to be like for those left behind, and it will be like hell on earth with total devastation and pandemonium. If you didn't know that already, then you are a little bit behind, and this article will help you catch up on the prophetic forecast a bit.

I hope that you have found these helpful. If you are not ready, then you need to be, because you don't want to be here for the Great Tribulation. As Jesus said, "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again." (Mat 24:21). I don't know how much of the judgments the Bride of Christ is going to be here for, but I do know the Lord is going to take his pure, spotless Bride up to heaven before the Father pours out His wrath.

If you would like to see what Scripture says concerning the sequence of events and the timing of the rapture, then I suggest you read the following:

Sequence of Signs Preceding the Coming of Christ
Synching Up the Seven Seals with the Gospels
The Timing of the Rapture

Closing Words
No man knows the day or the hour when Jesus will come, but we do know from Scripture that He is coming soon. And He continues to repeat that urgent message to His saints through dreams, visions, and prophecies. We also know that Scripture clearly commands us to be ready for His return.

Jesus said, "So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him." (Mat 24:44)

God is about to send His judgments upon the land, which will include cataclysms such as economic collapse, famine, war, foreign troops on American soil, nuclear weapons detonated over American cities, civil war, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, tsunamis on both the east and west US coasts, volcanoes, asteroids, and contagious disease epidemics of the natural and man-made kind.

If you are away from the Lord in a backslidden state, or if you have never given your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and you have never been born again, then I urge you to repent right now and ask Him for forgiveness. Turn your whole life over to Him, ask Him to come live inside your heart and take control of your life for you.

God loves you and Jesus loves you. He died on the cross for you and bore all your sins there. He rose from the dead and appeared alive to many people. He is exalted to the right hand of God, and He is coming back soon. There's no time left to waste. This post could be your final warning.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Something is Going on in 2017

I have previously written articles like Something is Going on in 2012 and Something is Going on in 2013, which cover major signs of the times that were happening around the world during those two years. If you haven't seen the videos in those two articles, I highly recommend you do so. But what you are about to see is a current video montage from the Signs of the Times (SOTT) channel that will probably amaze you. It primarily shows events that have been happening throughout the world during September 2017, and it proves there has clearly been an acceleration of the signs. Both the magnitude and the frequency seem to have increased, so that what has happened just during the last month seems comparable to what previously would have happened over the course of an entire year!

In my recent articles called The Contractions Are Coming Closer Together and The Vegas Massacre Marks a New Chapter for America, I wrote only about the devastating tragedies that had happened here in the US during the period from August 30th to October 1st, and how they were a sign indicating that we are now closer than ever to Christ's return. Yet those events, such as Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Maria, and the Vegas Massacre were events on US soil only. However, in the following video, SOTT shows footage from around the world of events like these:

• At least 74 wildfires raged in 8 Western US states, over a million acres were burnt. These were the deadliest wildfires in history. There were 31 dead and hundreds missing. In the Napa and Sonoma areas around 3,500 homes and businesses were destroyed. 
• Wild fire on Gran Canaria burnt over 2,000 hectares.
• Structures destroyed as nearly 100 bushfires burn across New South Wales Australia.
• Australia shivers through record coldest start to September.
• Strange sounds heard in Illinois sky.
• Mysterious "trumpet" sound heard in Iranian sky. This phenomenon has been occurring since 2012 as I have written in Trumpet Sounds Heard Around the World.
• Hurricane Irma becomes most powerful hurricane ever in the Atlantic, wreaks havoc in Florida and the Caribbean. 
• Hurricane Maria reaches category 5, hits Dominica and Puerto Rico, causes island-wide power outages, as well as massive damage in Barbuda..
• Hurricane Max hits Mexico.
• Magnitude 8.1 earthquake in Mexico, strongest in a century kills 61.
• Magnitude 7.1 earthquake in Mexico kills 369, destroys 380 buildings, damages thousands of others.
• Damage caused by baseball-sized hail in North Carolina.
• Golf ball-sized hail hits Split, Croatia.
• Intense hail storm leave 50 centimeters of accumulation in Teruel, Spain.
• Severe hail storm hits Hoedspruit, South Africa.
• Two moons seen on giant asteroid as it passed between earth and our moon.
• Huge landslide in India.
• Severe downburst hits Santa Barbara, California.
• Microburst hits Mendota, California.
• 800 lightning bolts strike San Francisco, California in one day.
• Rare "ball lightning" in New York.
• Sinkholes opening up under homes and on highways around the world.
• Fireballs lighting up skies over USA, Canada, Russia, Spain, Mauritius, Reunion Island, Netherlands, etc.
• African floods kill 25 times more people than Hurricane Harvey.
• Sun releases strongest solar flare in a decade.
• Water spouts pop up all over Lake Erie, Michigan.
• Water spouts appear on Oregon's coast.
• Earth flowing like lava through a Tibetan valley.
• Huge swarm of locusts devastate a large swath of farmland in southern Russia.
• Hundreds evacuated as Trift Glacier collapses in Switzerland.
• Flash flooding in Karachi, Pakistan.
• 15 inches of rain in 4 hours triggers killer floods in Livorno, Italy.
• Severe flood hits Zadar, Croatia after 11 inches of rain in 24 hours.
• Tropical storm Maring floods metro area of Manila, Philippines. 
• Huge floods hit Malaysia.
• Severe flash flooding in Laos as dam under construction bursts.
• Floods and sinkholes in Queretaro, Mexico after heavy rain.
• Severe rain and flooding inundates Rize, Turkey
• Landslide destroys freeway in Pueblo, Mexico.
• Storm kills 3 people in Germany with hurricane-force winds.
• Typhoon kills 4 in Vietnam, over 100,000 homes damaged.
• Typhoon Talim causes flooding and landslides in Japan.
• Intense wind suddenly hits Romania, 5 killed, dozens injured.
• Enormous turtle found on Spanish beach.
• Dead whale found on beach in Nakhodka, Russia, and the next day a dead whale found on Oslo Beach in South Africa.
• Indonesia's Mount Sinabung spews massive plumes of ash 2.5 km into air.
• Mexico's Popocatépetl volcano erupts, sending a cloud of vapor and ash 1.2 miles into the air.

While I have not listed these in chronological order, the video does show them in the order they actually happened, and provides dates for each one, which further adds to the significance of them when you see how closely to each other they all happened. Amazingly, all of these things happened during essentially the same period when the US was experiencing three major hurricanes, the tragic Vegas shooting, and the California wildfires. While these tragedies were probably enough to shake and overwhelm most Americans, they were only the tip of the iceberg in relation to all the other terrifying events happening across the world during the same time frame.

"I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord." (Joel 2:30-31, NIV)

Putting it All Together
The signs you have seen in this video during the month of September are wonders in the heavens and on the earth. They are blood and fire and billows of smoke. If you can't understand from these signs that we stand on the brink of the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord, then I don't know what it will take for you to understand. It's obvious that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back very, very soon.

Meanwhile, the Church is astray doing things that God has commanded us not to do, and neglecting the things God has commanded us to do. The world has been allowed into the Church. The people of God have become comfortable in sin. God is not happy. Jesus is not happy. The Lord is angry, and He is letting the world know.

The message is still the same. Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near. Jesus is coming back for His Bride, but He is coming only for the holy ones -- those who are without spot or wrinkle. He is not coming for those who are lukewarm or for those who have cast His Word behind their back. He is coming for those who keep God’s commands, hold fast their testimony about Jesus, and remain faithful to Him. Are you ready? Will you be found faithful? When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?

The Contractions Are Coming Closer Together

In August I posted a survey on Twitter asking people if they thought the solar eclipse that went across the entire United States of America on the 21st of that month was a sign of God's coming judgment on this nation. Would you believe not one single person took the survey? I don't know how to interpret that for you, except to say that nobody thought there was any connection between the eclipse and the judgment of God. Since nobody paid any attention to my question, perhaps nobody thought it was relevant. But I do know one thing for certain, that God's judgment on America has immediately followed the eclipse. As I highlighted in my article, News Headlines Reflect the End Times, the past thirty days have been devastating for the U.S. and other countries in the region. Just think of all that has happened in such a short period of time.

Sink hole in Houston from Hurricane Harvey

On August 30th, 2017, the Texas coast was devastated by Hurricane Harvey, leaving 47 people dead, and tens of billions of dollars in damage. Some said it would take decades to recover and that the cost may be as much as $120 billion. Surely this will impact the entire nation, since the oil industry is centered in Houston, Texas where they were hit hardest.

Then a few days later on September 11, 2017, Hurricane Irma slammed Florida, after devastating the Caribbean islands. The Florida Keys were hit the worst, but many other areas were affected terribly across the state, including Jacksonville, which saw record flooding.

Then right on the heels of Irma came Hurricane Maria on September 26, 2017, causing "apocalyptic" destruction in Puerto Rico, as well as Caribbean islands that had recently been hit so hard by Irma. In fact, FEMA reported that there were 10,000 federal workers in Puerto Rico at the time Maria hit the island, and they had been there to bring emergency relief to the other US territories like the Virgin Islands that had been devastated by Hurricane Irma. And the morgues in the hospitals there were filling to capacity. The damage to Puerto Rico is estimated to be in the billions of dollars. Some estimates says it will cost $30 billion, while others place the cost between 45 and 90 billion dollars!

In fact, it has been estimated that all these hurricanes are going to cost the United States $200 billion, which could set the economy back decades. All this is happening to a nation that is already trillions of dollars in debt! Every time another disaster happens, the federal government promises to give billions of dollars to aid the recovery. But money cannot get us out of this one. Where is that money going to come from? This country does not have it, so is the government going to produce it out of thin air? Will they print more money? Some trust in horses and some in chariots, but we trust in the Lord our God.

In the midst of all these hurricanes, on September 19, 2017, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake hit Central Mexico, leaving 300 people dead and thousands homeless. That quake came more than one week after a magnitude-8.1 earthquake struck off the southern coast of the country, killing at least 90 people. Meanwhile, as Mexico recovers from all this, they are nervously watching a very active volcano called Popocatepetl that is spewing out smoke and ashes near Mexico City.

Jesus said, "All these are the beginning of birth pains." (Mat 24:8, NIV). He also said, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains." (Mk 13:8, NIV)

It should be obvious to anyone who is watching that the birth pains that precede the return of Christ are becoming more intense and coming closer together. When a pregnant woman's contractions suddenly get more intense and more frequent, that is called transition. That means we have turned a corner and transitioned into a new period. When that happens to a woman in labor, she knows she is very close to giving birth. She does not expect it to get any easier, but rather for the contractions to intensify even more, and happen even closer together until she brings forth the child.

Therefore, with all the devastating events happening in this part of the world lately (especially the US) at such a rapid-fire pace, it can leave you breathless, wondering what is going to happen next. It should signal to everyone who is watching that we are in a new phase, and it will only intensify from here on out. It will only get worse and the disasters will come more frequently until the Lord comes back in power and glory.

The message for us all at this time is this: Repent for the kingdom of God is near.

Brace Yourselves for the Great Shaking

In case you didn't know it, we are about to experience a great shaking, so brace yourselves. I'd like to share with you the following email I received on Wednesday, August 3, 2016 from my friend Faith. She wrote:

"On Sunday evening, July 31, 2016 I was talking with a few friends. We were talking about our lives and what to expect until the time of the Rapture. We were coming to the conclusion that things would continue to be difficult until the Lord comes and intervenes. One friend, named Patti, put it this way. She said, 'I guess we need to BRACE OURSELVES, because there's not going to be resolution until He (Jesus) comes.' I thought that was a very timely comment but an unusual choice of words."

"The next day, Patti called with a report about the first video posted below (see 'Brace Yourselves' video from August 1). In it there are two recent instances of people hearing those very same words. My friend did not remember that she had said the same thing in our conversation the evening before! I had to remind her of it and she was even more amazed! The Lord was giving us the same message."

"Just today, I am finally listening to the video she sent and found another vid with the same powerful warning from a few months ago."

BRACE YOURSELVES!!!! Message given to a friend...Warning
Posted August 1, 2016


Warning: BRACE YOURSELVES!!!! Sudden Turbulence.
Posted April 7, 2016


"This is not a negative thing to get fearful about. It is our loving Heavenly Father wanting to prepare us for the days ahead. However, it is important that we hear clearly from Him and be obedient to what He is saying. Rejoice! Our redemption draws near. -- Faith."

-----
[END OF EMAIL TRANSCRIPT]

Putting it All Together
That is the end of my friend Faith's email to me on August 3, 2016. Let me summarize the key events described in her email above, in the following seven points:

1. July 31, 2016 - a sister named Jennifer Beebe on Sunday had a supernatural, nighttime experience, in which she heard the words, "Brace Yourself" (see the first video above, in which Jennifer's friend Rhonda relates her story).

2. July 31, 2016, - a sister named Jennifer Beebe sent a text message to her sister-in-law, who was in a Sunday service at church, telling her about the message she received in point #1 above.

3. July 31, 2016 - Jennifer Beebe's sister-in-law (see point #2 above) showed the text message that she had just received to her husband in church.

4. July 31, 2016 - at the end of the Sunday church service attended by Jennifer Beebe's sister-in-law (see points #2 and 3 above), an elderly gentleman suddenly jumped out of his seat, took the microphone from the pastor, and gave an urgent warning to "brace ourselves." He said, "I just got a message from the Lord, and He said we as Christians need to come together and brace ourselves, that an earthquake or something of that magnitude is coming."

5. July 31, 2016 - On Sunday evening, Faith's friend Patti said, "I guess we need to brace ourselves." However, she did not yet know anything about the events that happened in points # 1, 2, 3, or 4 above.

6. August 1, 2016 - On Monday, Faith's friend Patti called her to report the first video above, entitled "BRACE YOURSELVES!!!! Message given to a friend...Warning," which was posted on August 1, 2016. However, Faith's friend did not even remember that she herself had used the same term "brace ourselves" the previous evening (see point #5 above), until Faith reminded her of it.

7. August 3, 2016 - My friend, Faith watched the August 1 video she received from her friend. She also found another video posted April 7, 2016, called "Brace Yourselves" (see second video above). In that video a sister claims that she was sitting in her bed, when she heard the warning loudly and clearly, "Brace Yourselves!" The sister had not even been thinking along those lines, and when she asked the Lord what it was about, she heard Him say, "Extreme turbulence." Faith sent the email to me, the body of which I posted at the beginning of this email.

In this article, I have just documented that there were three different people this past Sunday, July 31, 2016, who neither knew each other nor knew about each other, and independently got the same message from God that we need to "BRACE OURSELVES!!!!" And we also have a fourth person, who independently received that exact same message in April. Moreover, there is the amazing interconnection between these people, which would be statistically impossible if God were not involved. It should be obvious to anyone who is reading this that a great shaking is about to happen. Something big is coming.

It reminds me of a message that Susan Cummings heard from the Lord in her dream called "The Summons". In it she quoted the Lord as saying: "The Great Shaking has only just begun in reality, but I showed you so that you would know My Heart in it. The Shaking is necessary to dislodge all of the deeply entrenched sins and idolatry of the nation. Much is entrenched beneath the land and has been there from the beginning. But, I am visiting the land, and it will be shaken so that it can be freed. The mountains erupted from the great pressures that have been building and from the battle that has been waged over the destiny of your land."

I close with the following passage from the twelfth chapter of the Book of Hebrews:

“See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven. And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, ‘Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.’ This expression, ‘Yet once more,’ denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire.” (Heb 12:25-29)

This passage cautions us that we will not escape if we turn away from Him who warns from heaven. Also see Matthew 24:37-39 and Luke 17:26-30. Everything that can be shaken will be shaken, until only that which cannot be shaken remains. God, His Christ, and His kingdom cannot be shaken. Have you been purified with His holy fire? If not, then ask Him to do so. Be sure you are ready and are found spotless and blameless in Him when the Lord Jesus returns.

Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster

Aerial view of Fukushima plant 1975

On March 11, 2011, an earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, causing the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.  We are now coming up on the fifth anniversary of that event, and the effects of radiation are still impacting the planet. The global impacts from this disaster are too numerous to list here. If you have not seen my previous article, The 311 Moment, in which I wrote about the adverse global effects of this tragic accident on our ecosystem, and their prophetic implications, I recommend reading it for proper background.

I recently read an article by RT News from August 2013, titled "Fukushima apocalypse: Years of ‘duct tape fixes’ could result in ‘millions of deaths’". That report contained some very disturbing information about the fact that they need to remove spent fuel rods from the damaged reactors, which is the most dangerous fuel removal in history. Much of what I am about to tell you is a summary of that report.

They must extract over 1,300 fuel rods at the crippled nuclear power plant. Even the tiniest mistake during this operation could set off a chain reaction of failures with an apocalyptic outcome, according to fallout researcher Christina Consolo. There are 400 tons worth of spent fuel rods, which must be extracted from the plant’s damaged Reactor No. 4. These spent fuel rods are stored in a pool on Reactor 4, which has the most significant problems structurally, and this pool is on the top floor of the building. The cranes that would normally be used for the removal were destroyed in the initial accident, so the operation must be done manually from the top of the damaged building. The integrity of the fuel pool has been severely compromised. This is a radiation-contaminated environment, and it is impossible to use computer-guided robots to perform this task. There is no other way than to do it manually. 

Humans will have to undertake this dangerous and complex task while being blasted with radiation. Each rod is very heavy, weighing two-thirds of a ton, making it difficult to carry or move. They must remove each rod without incident, and this process must be repeated flawlessly over 1,300 times. Even under optimal conditions in a plant that has not been damaged, this is a delicate process, but this will need to be done in a contaminated environment, in a building that is sinking. The workers will need to be replaced often as they reach their radiation dose limit, or if they become physically or mentally incapable of continuing.

If they mishandle a single rod, it may become critical. If the rods come too close to one another, it would set off an unstoppable chain reaction, resulting in a nuclear meltdown above ground, which would release radioactive fallout. Since there would be no way to stop it, this would result in a worst-case scenario. Such a scenario has never happened before in the history of the world. Arnie Gundersen coined the term “Gamma Shine Event” to describe it, and Dr. Christopher Busby has called it an “Open-air super reactor spectacular.” However, there is no other option than to undertake this risky process. If they leave things the way they are now, the risk of a similarly bad outcome increases every day.

As long as they leave the spent fuel rods in place, there are multiple factors that could result in a tremendous disaster. For one, there is the danger of contaminated water build-up which we already know about. There is water running across the surface of the ground into the damaged plant, which becomes contaminated when it comes into contact with the debris. This tainted water is being pumped out and stored in tanks. There are currently 1,000 tanks containing 750,000 tons of radioactive water, and a new tank is added every three to four days. This obviously cannot go on forever, since there is not unlimited space to store these tanks.

Moreover, by pumping water out from under the damaged reactors, they are further weakening the stability of the buildings, which increases the risk of structural compromise or failure. As the buildings shift on such unstable ground, the rods inside could come too close to each other, resulting in another nuclear fire and subsequent meltdown that would leave three, 100-ton blobs of molten radioactive debris underground to contaminate the ground water. Meanwhile those huge, radioactive water storage tanks are subject to corrosion and possible leakage. And all it would take is another earthquake or tsunami to cause the tanks to rupture and release all that water into the ocean.

We already know that this build-up of contaminated water is very dangerous. But the fuel rod situation is far worse. In the early days of the initial accident, the explosion caused damage to the racks inside the pool that contain this fuel. They were initially cooled with saltwater, which has caused the pool walls to become corroded. Corrosion has probably also happened to the fuel rods and racks. Therefore, the contents of the pool could potentially burn and/or explode, causing further damage to the entire structure or even collapse. Once those rods are moved and get too close to each other, this would set off a chain reaction process, which could be self-sustaining and continue for a long time. This would obviously be an apocalyptic scenario. Needless to say, another earthquake or tsunami to hit Fukushima would be all it takes to set something like this off. Since Fukushima sits on an active seismic fault line, and the planet is currently experiencing an average of 1,232 earthquakes per month (M4.0 or higher), or about 40 per day, the probability of this risk is high (see Editor's afterword at the end of this article).

When I read the 2013 article by RT News a few days ago in February 2016, I was hoping to find that this spent fuel rod clean up was successfully completed by now, since that report was three years old. However, I learned from a more recent report that the rods have still not been removed. In fact it will probably take 40 years to do so! On February 11, 2016, CNN published an article titled, "Japan: Fukushima clean-up may take up to 40 years, plant's operator says." According to the article, Akira Ono, head of the Fukushima plant, states the biggest challenge they face in permanently shutting down the plant is removing from three reactors all the nuclear fuel debris that has been melted. Moreover, TEPCO, the power company that operates the plant, says it is in the dark about the current state of the debris. Nobody will know the exact status of the spent fuel rods until they go into the damaged plant to find out.

As you can see, there are potentially apocalyptic scenarios that could occur both before and during the removal of the spent fuel rods. The risk of such scenarios is increased by delaying the clean up, as well as by proceeding with it. The Fukushima Daiichi power plant is a ticking time bomb of global proportions just waiting to go off. When it does, it could result in the deaths of millions or even billions of people. In light of all this, the outlook for the future of this planet is grim.

This dilemma is not isolated to Japan, and is not solely Japan's problem. This is the world's problem. It is mankind's problem. It is higher priority than any other project any nation is working on right now. And even if they were to all stop what they are doing and work together to solve it, all of the kings' horses and all the kings' men could not put Daiichi together again. The only One who can solve this is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only answer for this problem.

Therefore, the only solution is for all people of all nations to repent and turn back to God. Put your trust in Jesus. Ask Him to forgive you for your sins and save you. Anyone who refuses to see that this a sign of the Lord's soon return is in denial of reality. In addition, if you put all this together with the signs I outlined in my articles, The Land Mourns in the Last Days and The 311 Moment, it should be obvious to anyone that time is over. Jesus Christ is coming back right away, but He is only coming for the holy ones. So prepare yourself in holiness for His return before it is too late.

Editorial afterword: I was praying that the Lord would give me a powerful conclusion to this article. Amazingly, once I finished writing this present article of mine, and was searching for free images to use in it, I just happened to come across an article posted today (14 hours ago), February 19, 2016 at 13:39, by RT News, titled "5.1 magnitude earthquake strikes off Fukushima coast of Japan." This is breaking news! It states: "A 5.1 magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of Japan, according to the US Geological Survey. The quake, which had a depth of 20km, struck 105km from the Fukushima Dai-Ni power plant...Fukushima Dai-Ni is just 12km from the Fukushima Daiichi plant, which suffered a meltdown of its nuclear reactors after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, resulting in Japan's worst nuclear accident." The fact that this quake happened on the same day I wrote this article, and that I had no idea about it until after I had completed the entire article, should be a confirmation to anyone reading it that this is a message from the Lord!

Upon further research after that, I learned that the seismic activity is becoming more active around Japan. The M5.1 quake was actually the fourth of five quakes in and around Japan on 2/19/2016! Six quakes occurred on 2/18/2016, including an M4.3. Three quakes occurred on 2/17/2016, including an M4.3. In fact, there were a total of twenty-seven quakes reported by the Japan Meteorological Agency in February alone up to the date of this article, including an M6.2 on 2/15/2016. There were also quakes in January as well, including an M4.2 that hit Fukushima offshore on 1/25/2016. I did not know any of this when I wrote the article. Indeed, these earthquakes and the following Scriptures prove the points made in this article:

"And there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven." (Luk 21:11)

"For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will." (Mat 24:21)

"There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken." (Luk 21:25-26)

"Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door." (Mat 24:32-33)

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
