Russian Attack on Ukraine Begins WWIII

On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his military forces to attack Ukraine, which they did from multiple directions. They attacked by land, sea, and air from the east through the Dombass region of Ukraine, from the south through Crimea which was annexed to Russian in 2015, and from the north through Belarus, in what was the biggest attack on a European country since WWII.

For those of you who don't realize it yet, this was the event that will ultimately kick off World War III. The United States and other NATO countries did not do anything to stop Putin, who has threatened to use nuclear weapons against anyone who tries to interfere with him. He said his response would be immediate, bringing “Consequences that you have never experienced in your history.” The US and its NATO allies did announce that there would be severe sanctions against Russia for this, but that is not expected to stop Putin. In fact, he has many ways of retaliating against these countries that levy sanctions against Russia.

Russian War Crimes

Intentionally targeting civilian infrastructure is a war crime. According to Amnesty International, Russia is carrying out “indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas and strikes on protected objects such as hospitals.”

Although Russia denied that it is attacking civilian infrastructure, the Ukraine Twitter account says:

"Russia invaded Ukraine. Russian missiles and military are targeting civilian infrastructure and killing innocent people in Ukrainian cities. Russia attacks not only Ukraine; it attacks the whole of Europe. Ukraine defends its own independence, and peace and democracy in Europe."

The Russian military also attacked several civilian airports, including Kyiv-Boryspil International Airport, which I have personally flown in and out of a number of times between 1995 and 2009 (I did my internship in Ukraine, and have been back there a few times since then on missions trips). Many videos have been posted online showing Russian missiles striking civilian infrastructure like apartment buildings, such as the one in Kiev pictured above that was hit by a Russian bomb on February 25, 2022 [Daniel Leal/AFP]. Moreover, Russian forces captured the failed Chernobyl nuclear power plant, north of Kiev, in an apparent symbolic signal to Europe not to interfere militarily in the conflict or else it could face Russian nuclear retaliation. CBN News said credible reports indicate that Russian soldiers are holding hostage the staff of the nuclear power plant.

NATO Response

If you have followed the news at all, you know that NATO has moved thousands of troops to the border of Ukraine to bolster their defense against the war spilling over into Europe. But the fact is that Russia's unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation has emboldened China to do the same with Taiwan, as evidenced by their recent statements to that effect, and will also embolden the enemies of Israel, such as Iran and Syria. It's just a matter of time for these other countries to go to war as well.

Israeli Implications

Speaking of Israel, they often conduct bombing missions into Syria, which they don't usually admit, but they cannot do so without permission from Syria's ally Russia. Therefore, it is important for Israel to maintain good diplomatic relations with Russia. However, as Russia began their military attack against Ukraine, Russia also made a statement to Israel that it does not honor their claim that the Golan Heights belong to them. Russia says the Golan Heights belong to Syria, (and by the way, major reserves of oil have been discovered on the Golan Heights). This means that as long as Israel continues to claim the Golan Heights as their own rightful territory, it is going to adversely affect Russian-Israeli relations.

Visions and Dreams About WWIII

Numerous Christians have been receiving visions and dreams about World War III for decades. I have compiled the more recent ones into a playlist on Youtube called WWIII. I truly hope you will take time to watch the playlist and prayerfully consider what the Lord showed these people.

You may also read the following articles about other dreams and visions given by the Lord to His servants about a Russian-Chinese military attack against the United States:

Prophetic vision reveals World War III with Russia and China invading America

Henry Gruver Russian Invasion of America

Dumitru Duduman Russian Invasion of America

David Wilkerson Economic Collapse then A Russian Invasion

Putin Obama and Xi Jinping Celebrate Explosion and Plume Cloud

Many of you will not take any of these seriously, but you should. If you take the time to read these visions and dreams, I think you will find that they were genuine ones give by the Holy Spirit. Be careful you don't despise any prophetic dream, vision, or utterance that is truly from the Lord through His servants. As Paul the apostle said: "Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil." (1Th 5:20-22)

To anyone who does not believe that my warning is from God, take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you: "'Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish, for I am going to do something in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.'" (Act 13:40-41)

Scriptures
These visions and dreams that I have just cited in the previous section agree with the numerous Scriptural passages that speak of these end time wars and rumors of war. The Lord Himself said, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come." (Mat 24:6). Other passages you should consider reading and meditating on are Ezekiel 38-39, that many believe speaks of a Russian coalition attack upon Israel in the last days, and Jeremiah 1:13-16 about the boiling cauldron from the north tilted toward Israel.

Chernobyl Means Wormwood
Very interestingly, there is a passage in Revelation about the third trumpet judgment of God to be released on the earth. It says:

"The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter." (Rev 8:10-11)

Many students of the Word, including myself, have speculated that this passage about a great star blazing like a torch could be referring to a nuclear missile that falls from the sky and releases deadly radiation upon the earth. Chernobyl, said to mean "wormwood',  is the name of the town north of Kiev, Ukraine, where a nuclear power plant experienced a cataclysmic reactor meltdown (failure) in 1986 that released radiation across Europe. The fact that Chernobyl means Wormwood is cause for us to pause and consider what is happening now in Ukraine and how it could erupt into nuclear war with Russia.

Comments from Others
Here are some comments from others on Youtube that have also been given dreams of WWIII:

Alexandra Stratan, 12 days ago
"There is something so ominous in the air, to be honest, I had three dreams of foreign invasion (Russia and China), I was a prisoner of war, I have been put through the ringer for my dreams."

ksilas78, 3 weeks ago
"Thank you so much for sharing your dream… I had similar dreams. The first one was in 2009, I know it was about Covid… but fast forwarding to 2013, I had a dream that America was in physical darkness and chaos, I was with one of my sisters, and we couldn’t find water, and as America was in darkness, Russia was about to strike us with missiles. It was like Russia was provoked, and President Obama was begging Putin to hold his fire because America was suffering enough. Now the third dream we were invaded by the Chinese military, I was in New York City in my dream in a clothing store waiting in line to make a purchase, then I got an alert on my phone showing where the closest bomb shelter was, I went out of the store and saw people running and I saw the Chinese military marching in the streets. The last dream I had was in 2019, I saw on a paper in big bold letters with the words saying, 'War is imminent'. I pray that God will protect us all , we are living in serious times."

John Wick. 2 weeks ago
"I had a dream yesterday that we were held in some old buildings with bunk beds. I looked outside and there were Russian troops with tanks. They kept taking people out to this white building where there were Russians. The Americans didn't come back in my dream. I said. 'This can't be real. I have to escape.' Somehow I got captured and then I woke up. I've been feeling like this is a warning from God. I can't stop thinking about this dream. God bless you all get right with your Maker now."

YL Young Luie, 12 days ago
"I had a dream that US was being destroyed by missiles and nukes...it was a nightmare....I came out of that dream and I entered another, and I was crying, because it was soon to come....REPENT AND SEEK GOD FOR OUR TIME IS NEAR."

Closing Words
I hope that this message has helped to alert you to the signs that are happening all around us right now, which are pointing to the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is a time for sanctification, separation, and preparation, as the Lord said to one sister in Christ recently. It is not unwise to prepare yourself and family physically, but it is definitely wise to prepare yourself spiritually for what is about to happen. You need the Lord's protection over you.

Jesus Christ is about to come back for His Bride, and not all Christians are going to be taken, but only those who are ready. Many think they are ready but they are not, because they are still worldly and unsanctified. The Lord is coming for a Bride that is pure and blameless without spot or wrinkle (Eph 5:27; 1 Thes 4:16-17; Rev 19:6-9). 

After he removes His Bride from the earth, that is going to kick off the Great Tribulation, which is going to be seven years of hell on earth (Mt 24:21). You don't want to be here for that, so please do whatever it takes to get ready for the rapture. I pray for all the saints reading this that your hearts would be strengthened, so that you would be blameless and holy in the presence of God at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His holy ones. 

To anyone reading this who is living in compromise of some kind, repent and turn back to God. As the prophet Isaiah said, "Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon." (Isa 55:7).

For those of you who don't know Jesus, I urge you to repent and give your life to Jesus Christ. Ask Him to forgive you and accept Him as your Lord and Savior. Please see the link at the end of this article to help you in that decision.

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?"

The Coming Wrath of God

I would like to share with you a message from the Lord given by Lynn Veasley nearly two years ago. If you haven't already read my other articles about him, Urgent End Time Warning from the Lord and Lynn Veasley's Revelation of Hell, I would encourage you to do so. But today let's turn our attention to this compelling message from October 22, 2015.

Brother Lynn said, "On this morning, I was praying like I always do at four o'clock in the morning. And as I was praying I looked up and I saw four men in a high place dressed in white robes." These four men were elders from heaven who came to him in his home, and explained to him the things to come.

One of them said to him, "Man shall rewrite the Bible, not with ink, but with spirit. And it shall cause many to fall away."



Lynn saw a huge tidal wave came across the earth with a great wind. The elder who was speaking with him told him the water will cover the earth. This great flood was a flood of death like a tidal wave. The diseases, plagues, and other end time disasters were all coming like great waves.

"The diseases, plagues, and other end time disasters were all coming like great waves."

Then he saw the black plague come across the earth, and the man said to him, "It is the disease Ebola. It's going to mutate many times. Man is going to try to find a cure, and they will find a cure for a certain strain, but not the deadliest strain. And man is going to turn to him for the cure, but he's not going to give it to him." Ebola is going to be changed to another name, just as they did with H1N1. The diseases are already here, but not in full force.

"He saw the black plague come across the earth, and the man said to him, 'It is the disease Ebola.'"

There is also a man-eating disease that God told him about. He called it "moth." You breathe it in and it enters into your lungs and eats them up from the inside out. The symptoms are similar to pneumonia

"There is also a flesh-eating disease, which will mutate to the point where it can kill a person within 24 hours. If you touch anything that someone with the disease has touched, you will get it." God told him the disease is because of sin.

"Man is going to try and take control of men. Governments are going to try and control men. People are going to believe that man has power."

"Governments are going to try and control men."

"We have turned away from our God to man to support and feed us. Men have searched for all the natural things, and then they go to the synagogues and churches seeking for the natural blessings. Man wants the gifts but not the Giver. They desire all His gifts but not Him. They desire all His blessings, but not Him. We are heading for a fall that we cannot get up from."

"The Father is angry. He told Lynn to share this with everyone. The wrath of God is coming and no man on this earth will be able to hide from. But those that repent He will spare."

"The wrath of God is coming and no man on this earth will be able to hide from. But those that repent He will spare."

Man has forgotten that God is real. Lynn said, "Years ago Father had me to write to all these big ministries. When I did, some responded. But it was not a nice letter, because all they talked about was prosperity, and God was not pleased with it. I'm talking about natural prosperity. Who is seeking the Spirit of God? Man is seeking riches. Man is seeking money fame, fortune. The churches these days are a Fortune 500 company, and God is not pleased. All they talk about is what they're going to do for people, but you see nothing is done. How is it they've got multi-millions of dollars in the bank, but yet the members of the church themselves are broke, and poor, and homeless, and hungry, but have not been fed -- not just the natural food, but spiritual food of God. They're hungry for His Word, and all you can talk about are these natural, carnal things? And man takes it that God doesn't care. That's what it means when he said they will rewrite the Bible, because it will come from the heart, the Word. They rewrite it so that your spirit become cold to the Word of God."

"The churches these days are a Fortune 500 company, and God is not pleased." 

"God is a Spirit, He is not flesh. Man has turned away from God -- turned unto themselves. How is it that a country such as America makes sin a law? How is it that we accept it? But they cast away the laws of God and the principles of God. I'm not just talking about this country, I'm talking about many countries. The Word of God has become null and void to men. God's going to show up. He's going to let you know He's God. And the world is going to cry out so greatly. They will run to the rocks and say, 'Hide us from the wrath of God!' And they will not do it. They will dig holes thinking they can hide, but they will not get away. God will answer."

"Man has turned away from God -- turned unto themselves. How is it that a country such as America makes sin a law? How is it that we accept it? But they cast away the laws of God and the principles of God." 

"You say there is no God with your heart. Your mouth says there is, but your heart says not. God is going to answer. Here it is in the country that was founded on the Word of God -- on the principles of God, that you have allowed so much sin to come and to reign that you turn around and you make it a law. You say that every man has a right to the freedom of religion. Yet in Detroit, you have the largest satanic church ever."

"People, if God scattered the Israelites, what do you think He will do with Americans? The Israelites are His chosen people, the children of Abraham whom He loved greatly. And we were adopted through Christ. What makes you think that we will not be punished, that everything is ok, we can do whatever we want to, and God is ok with it? It doesn't work that way. We have idol worshipping. We have all manner of sin. It is an abomination before God. But yet we say, "God is alright. He loves us. He understands." Or "Forget it! He doesn't!"

"'Who will stand in these last days?' Father asked me. Who will stand for Him. He has His eyes on us. Who will stand? Will you stand? Will you stand for God no matter what? Will you stand for God even when the judgment comes upon this earth? Will you still stand for God. God will not forget those who stand for Him. God knows the heart. He knows the faith of man."

"What happened? We got so complacent, we got so comfortable, we got comfortable in sin, not righteousness. We just got so comfortable in ourselves. We make our own laws now. I'm talking about laws that go against God. I'm talking about laws of sin that cause man to sin. But yet we think that we're ok. But I'm telling you now it's not ok. Father is paying attention. He's got many across this country and across the world crying out right now, 'Repent!' You remember? His name was John and they called him the baptizer. He cried out before God came. Repent. My name is not John, but He does send those out before the wrath comes. And I am one of many that He has called to bring forth the word that He's angry and that His wrath is coming."

"I know you heard it many times that we reap what we sow. It's true! Prepare yourself. The disease is here. Prepare yourself. You won't be able to run from it -- not in sin. Don't you know that God has His righteous people, the very elect that He has called? Let me tell you something, we're in trouble on this earth. We have allowed sin to be something that is a part of our lives, something that is no big deal. 'God, it's just part of things. That's no biggie.' And God hears the prayers of those that are watching, those that are seeing sin corrupting the world. He hears those prayers. Father said He will not leave them to this corruption. He will not whip those that repent."

"It's something because we're in a country, even though we did not make the law, even though we are not part of the sin, but we put the blinders on our eyes, say nothing, speak nothing. Does that not make us partakers of the sin? We all are ambassadors of Christ. We all are supposed to speak up to what is going on."

"Father said to warn you of things to come. I will name a few things. There will be a nuclear war. Be afraid. Who should be able to stand. The beast will be loosed. When I say beast, it is the spirit that God has pressed and held down for so long that He allows to be loosed. See, satan is like a dog on a chain. He barks and he barks! He growls and he tears up anything that is close. But God is the One that holds that chain. But when His children have turned away from Him, it angers God. But see, these things have already been told. It's already been written and prophesied of. And Father lets go of that chain and lets satan do what he's going to do, which is the spirit of hatred. And the United States is hated so much that if anyone has an opportunity to destroy this country they would."

"There will be a nuclear war." 

"But the blessings of those who have cried out to God have been heard. And the prayers of the few have been heard. See, it doesn't take many. But the prayers of the righteous availeth much, the Scripture says."

"My point: When this nuclear warhead hits, the earth will never ever be the same. When the disease, earthquakes, all these 'natural disasters' -- [as] we call them, when they hit, the world will never be the same. Who will be able to stand, Father said. Is it time to be afraid? Yes. Our loved ones..."

"When this nuclear warhead hits, the earth will never ever be the same. When the disease, earthquakes, all these 'natural disasters' -- [as] we call them, when they hit, the world will never be the same. Who will be able to stand..."

"The world will never be the same. I was thinking there is, if I'm not mistaken, nearly six billion people on the earth. And Father said a third will die. A third! If there's six (billion), that means it's going to be two billion people worldwide. The disease will not stop until it runs its course. The radiation will not stop until it runs its course. And it's going to be in the atmosphere. Sick people all over the world! Who will be able to hide? Who? I know I don't have a bunker. These things are to come. The disease - you will be so afraid to touch a door, to go into a store, be afraid to touch the pump to put gas in your car, because whoever touches that, if they had the disease first, (then) if you touch it you catch the disease and you die in 24 hours."

"You know what? I looked it up. The disease is already here. Father said it was here. I looked it up, not to see whether he was telling the truth. I wanted to see where it was at. Father asked me, 'Who will be able to stand?' You know, I cry, and I cry, and I cry talking to Him. And I beg and plead, basically, 'Father, how can I get through to people that they will take heed to Your words?'"

"God is a forgiving God. And I know you run it through your mind, if you sit up there and say, 'Oh, God is too good for it to happen to us. We are believers. We are Christians. I know that it ain't going to happen to me. God ain't going to allow that to happen to me!" Ask the Israelites. They didn't think it would happen to them. They didn't think they would be scattered to the four corners of the earth -- that they'd be overthrown. God's Word will not come back to Him void. It will not."

"All I can say is 'God have mercy! Have mercy on us.' The reason why I say that is because everything He ever told me came to pass one hundred percent. And when your loved ones start passing away from this disease, and it's always rumors of wars and all that, but it's going to be loosed that one will shoot a bomb. And a nuclear warhead is worse than an atom bomb. It's a hundred times greater than the atom bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. It's a hundred times greater! The atmosphere cannot take these bombs. The atmosphere will carry the radiation across the world, and the radiation sickness will cause disease even greater. The dead bodies are going to stack up that they cannot bury them."

"The atmosphere cannot take these bombs. The atmosphere will carry the radiation across the world, and the radiation sickness will cause disease even greater. The dead bodies are going to stack up that they cannot bury them."

"I'm Lynn, and I tell you the truth that God has told me. I beg you to please believe what I'm saying. Please believe me."

"Next time that I speak to you, I will tell you what the Father said. For I talk to Father every morning. He talks to me every morning. My relationship with Father is very valuable to me. What I share with you, please take heed! I'm going to share with you something next time that will help you. But right now I say one word: Repent! There's ugly coming. I wish I could express it enough. I can't! It's ugly! It's coming!"

END OF MESSAGE FROM LYNN VEASLEY

Putting  it All Together
I know that was a difficult message for most people to hear, but we needed it. The Lord Jesus said, ”Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:36, NIV). There is a reason why He commanded us to pray that we would be able to stand before Him and to escape all that is about to come to pass. As the Father asked Lynn, "Who will be able to stand?" Tough times are ahead for America and the rest of the world. Now is the time to get right with God and be praying the way Jesus instructed us to do in the above passage of Scripture.

We are in the 311 Moment! There's no time left to waste. Jesus came 2,000 years ago and proclaimed the year of the Lord's favor (Lk 4:18-19), and He did not mention the day of vengeance of our God, which is found in that passage from Isaiah 61:1-2, from which He read. But the year of God's favor is winding up and now comes the day of vengeance of our God. Get ready! The Lord Jesus is coming back, and He is coming to take revenge on all of His enemies.

"Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: 'See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.'” (Jude 1:14-15, NIV). Now is the time of punishment on the world.

Lynn's message agrees with what the Lord has been saying through many others, as I have written in Prophetic End Time Warnings from Little ChildrenAmerica’s Destruction is at Hand, Word of Warning for Americaand Wars and Rumors of Wars. Now that I have warned you, please take heed. If you have any doubts about this message, please take it to the Lord and ask Him to confirm it and speak to you.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

For years now there has been talk about World War III, which is what I'd like to discuss today. The very fact that it has been rumored about so much and for so long is a sign of the times in itself. For the Lord said that before he returns there will be wars and rumors of wars. He said, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come." (Mt 24:6, NIV).

There is speculation that WWIII could begin at any moment. In fact, it may have already begun when the initially unnamed war on ISIS in Iraq and Syria began in 2014, which is now called Operation Inherent Resolve. Russia also has troops on the ground in Syria, as well as planes flying airstrikes, and warships offshore in the Mediterranean Sea. In fact, they claim to have Spetsnaz Special Forces working covertly within ISIS, helping to call in the airstrikes. The effectiveness of the Russian airstrikes may have helped provide leverage to negotiate the recent cease-fire in the Syrian civil war, which at this time seems to be partially holding. Interestingly, Russia is supporting their ally, Syrian President Assad, and a different set of combatants in the civil war than the ones the United States is supporting, so the US and Russia are fighting on different sides of the war.

Whether Operation Inherent Resolve and the war against ISIS will be the beginning of WWIII remains to be seen. But ever since September 11, 2001, the US has been at war against Islamic militants, and there seems to be no end in sight. Moreover, the fact that ISIS has publicly declared their goal of establishing an Islamic state globally means that all nations who do not agree to accept that goal have a stake in the war against ISIS.

Aside from the war on terror, there is the issue of the US military being spread too thinly around the world. Presently the US military, primarily Special Forces, are involved in 134 wars around the world, which covers 70% of the world's nations. Meanwhile the U.S. military is aging, shrinking in size, and only “marginally able” to defend America’s vital national interests. It is no longer able to fight two wars at once, can no longer guarantee its ability to win one war, and is being reduced in numbers to pre-World War II level.

Moreover, the American moral crisis has severely weakened the US military. The country has turned away from God. It has despised and ignored the prophets the Lord has sent to it. The stench of its sins, and the blood of the innocents is crying out, and is continually before God's face. The Church is lukewarm, adulterous, reprobate, and apostate. The US military has become an anti-Christian institution, and it is suffering from a suicide epidemic.

Meanwhile, in the midst of all this, China has continued to flex its military muscles in various ways. One thing that comes to mind is the time in April 2001 when one of their fighter jets rammed a US reconnaissance plane in International airspace off the coast of China, which caused it to make an emergency landing on the Chinese island of Hainan in the South China Sea. There have been other similar acts of belligerence since then against US aircraft and ships at sea. And Chinese ships have been spotted right off the west coast of the US. There was a mysterious ballistic missile launched off the coast of California in 2010, which some speculate was from a Chinese submarine. But more recently five Chinese military ships were seen off the coast of Alaska while Obama was visiting there in September 2015. The Pentagon confirmed the presence of the ships in the Bering Sea between Alaska and Russia, and it was believed to be the first time Chinese military ships have been seen in that area, which is a sign of China's global presence extending far from its own borders. Then in October 2015 a Chinese attack submarine tracked a US aircraft carrier south of Japan. In May 2016, Chinese fighter jets dangerously passed within 50 feet of a US reconnaissance plane over the South China Sea. As you can see, China has a long, track record of provocations. In terms of global fire power, China is now rated as the third most powerful military in the world.

Furthermore, since 2012, the Chinese have also been on a major buying spree, in a push to purchase significant amounts of US infrastructure, commerce, and natural resources. Their progress on this front has been astounding, and they now own major businesses in America, as well as vast amounts of prime real estate, including US ports. One example of a business front used for incursion into America is the China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO), which is controlled by the People’s Republic of China. This communist-owned company already owns vital ports in Long Beach, Calif. and Boston, Mass.

Russia, the largest ally of China, and the second most powerful military force in the world, has been busy, too, in its military activities related to America. In April 2014, a Russian intelligence-gathering ship was seen off the US coast and near the Gulf of Mexico. Then in September 2014, Russian, long-range bomber planes practiced bombing flights to North America. Then in September and October 2015, a Russian spy-ship made it's way down the entire east coast of the US, in conjunction with submarines that came dangerously close to US underwater cables used for communicating intelligence information. It is believed that the Russians were mapping out the location of the cables, so that they could cut them in the event of tension or conflict. This level of activity from Russia was similar to what we saw during the Cold War era.

Then there were the week-long, Chinese-Russian, joint naval drills at sea in April 2015, which included an amphibious landing of amphibious and airborne troops, as well as firing their warships' guns. After that came the massive, V-Day military parade that China held in Beijing in September 2015, where Vladmir Putin, the Russian Prime Minister stood beside Chinese President Xi Jinping in the reviewing stand. Since Jinping had attended the Moscow Victory Day Parade in May 2015 as Putin's guest-of-honor (photo above), he returned the favor at this parade, in which China showcased around 12,000 troops, 500 military vehicles and over 200 military aircraft, including weapons systems never before seen in public.

I give all of this as background to help you understand that the world is at war, ISIS is on the move, posing a major threat, Russia and China are displaying their military might, acting subversively toward America, and the Cold War between the US and Russia is in full progress once again. This is the context for the prophecies I am about to share with you about the coming invasion of America by Russia and China.

First of all, in 1973 David Wilkerson had a vision of an economic collapse followed by a Russian invasion of America via a hydrogen holocaust. He also had another vision in 1985 of an economic collapse, followed by an attack from Russia, in which a hydrogen holocaust will engulf America in one hour. He also had subsequent visions in 1992 and 2009 of calamity and judgment on America.

Secondly, in the 1980's, a Romanian pastor named Dumitru Duduman had a vision of the US being attacked by Russia and destroyed by nuclear weapons. He was told that the US is mystery Babylon depicted in Revelation 17-18, and that certain US cities like San Francisco, Las Vegas, Miami, and New York are modern-day Sodom and Gomorrahs. He was shown that in one day America will burn.

Thirdly, around 1986, Henry Gruver had a vision of the US being invaded and totally destroyed by the Russian and Chinese. He saw a sea and air invasion would occur, including attacks with nuclear weapons and nerve gas. He was shown the Russian submarines very close to the US east coast firing nuclear missiles at cities in the US.

Fourthly, in 1985, Dr. Maurice Sklar had a vision of America as Mystery Babylon being destroyed by fire. He was told to release the vision to warn people, so they might flee from the wrath to come.

Finally, in 2013, I wrote an article titled America’s Destruction is at Hand, regarding a dream I had about war coming to America, as well as some visions of others that the Lord led me to include in that post about sudden destruction coming upon this nation. 

Putting it All Together
You can choose to believe these visions or not, but they all speak of the same thing, which is that America is marked for judgment by God. And we are closer now to that time of fiery judgment than we have ever been before.

When you combine all of this with the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster and it's dire consequences, as well as the The End Time Plagues that are currently happening, and the way the earth and its environment are experiencing multiple, severe crises, it's clear that we are in a time of distress such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world, which God created, until now and never will be again! Those with understanding will understand that these are signs of the times we live in. They point to the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back right away. 

If you don't know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, now is the time to repent and believe in Him. Now is the time to turn from sin and follow Him. If you are a believer, but you are not walking with the Lord as you should or you are backslidden into sin, then now is the time to wake up and repent, for the kingdom of God is near. Turn from your evil ways and your evil practices. Forsake your love of the world. Return to the Lord and He will return to you.

The Lord is coming back right away, but He is only coming for a holy people -- those living a holy life. Most of the Church has become apostate and rejected the truth. Please don't assume you are in good standing with God. Ask Him to search your heart and expose anything that is hidden that must go. Then when He does, repent. Don't delay. This 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.

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

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)

The 311 Moment

In my research, I have discovered that the 3:11 verses from Genesis to Revelation have a clear message for the Church about the moment that I sense we are in right now, which I refer to as the "311 moment".  I will first explain what I think these Scriptures are saying to us, and then you can read the Scriptures yourself to see if it is true.  If I were to summarize the message I think is found in the 3:11 verses, it would be as follows:

We live in the day when we are going to see rulers try to force everyone to worship the image or be killed.  The enemy tempts us with all forms of idolatry.  But the Lord says, "You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me."  Refuse to bow before idols. Flee from idolatry. 

We must repent, and worship God alone, in Spirit and Truth, through His Son Jesus Christ, who comes to baptize us with the Holy Spirit and fire.  He is good, for His lovingkindness is upon Israel forever.

At this time, there is none who understands, there is none who seeks for God. We must be righteous and live by faith. We must prove ourselves to be more righteous than the hypocrites. We must cry out for a wise and discerning heart, rather than for riches, long life, or the death of our enemies. The Lord will do for you whatever you ask, if you ask in Jesus Name. We must turn away from evil and do good; we must seek peace and pursue it. We ought to be in holy conduct and godliness. Then all the people will know that we are a people of excellence. We should love one another. We ought to be looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God. God’s people must lead a disciplined life. We must not reject the discipline of the LORD or loathe His reproof. Ask for the discipline of the Lord.  Ask Him to reprove you.

Saints must take direction from God. Share food and clothing with those in need. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse. Our lives must be built on the right foundation, which is Jesus Christ.  When we do so, we are able to sing, praising and giving thanks to the LORD. The people will shout with a great shout when they praise the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD Jesus Christ has been laid. But many are building on something else. Their lives have become contaminated. Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water? Even the ocean waters have become bitter with radioactive poison.

The world and even most of those in the church do not accept God’s testimony. This is what the Lord God says, whether they listen or not. Many Christians are now perverted and are sinning, being self-condemned. They are faithless and treacherous. The judgment of Church leaders is influenced by money; many pastors, preachers, and priests teach and preach for a price; and prophets prophesy for money.  Yet they lean on the LORD saying, "Is not the LORD in our midst? Calamity will not come upon us."  The Lord swore in His wrath regarding such people, "They shall not enter My rest."

Judgment is coming. The Lord is about to do a thing at which both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle. The Lord will remove from our midst the proud, exulting ones among us. He will chase them and tear them to pieces; He will make them desolate. The enemy will pull down their strength and loot their strongholds. When they are left behind, they will be hiding, and will search for a refuge from the enemy. They will hide themselves from the Lord to cover their shameful nakedness, because they have eaten from the tree that the Lord commanded them not to eat. They will wish they had never been born, or that they had died as soon as they were born.

Jesus is coming quickly; if you're already keeping His Word, then hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown.  The resurrection from the dead is about to happen. The Lord’s presence is moving now, and His chosen people are about to cross over into the Promised Land. His Bride should go forth and gaze on King Jesus with His crown.  His royal wedding day has now come, the day of gladness of His heart. This is the time. The windows of heaven are about to open.  The Lord Himself will descend.

Sun and moon will stand in their places; They will stop shining at the light of the Lord’s arrows, at the radiance of His gleaming spear. A renewal is about to reach completion, in which there is no race distinction, and Christ is all in all. The Lord is about to rescue us out of all our persecutions and suffering. He will rebuke the devourer for us. The day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. We will see God carry out His eternal purpose in Christ Jesus. That which is about to happen will bring an eternal glory that remains forever.

If there is any theme or message in the 311 Scriptures, this would be it, in my opinion.  But you should pray about it and ask the Lord to confirm it for you, if it is true. Use your discernment, and please understand that this is not a prophecy, but my understanding of the times, as well as my understanding of the Scriptures (1 Chr 12:32; Mt 16:3; Lk 12:56).

Scriptures
Now here are the 3:11’s of Scripture, which seem to have a message from the Lord for the church at this time:

"Go to the exiles, to the sons of your people, and speak to them and tell them, whether they listen or not, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.'" (Eze 3:11)

'I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. (Rev 3:11)

“in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.”  (Php 3:11)  

“a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.” (Col 3:11)

“This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,” (Eph 3:11)

"For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory."  (2Co 3:11)

"Go forth, O daughters of Zion, And gaze on King Solomon with the crown With which his mother has crowned him On the day of his wedding, And on the day of his gladness of heart." (Son 3:11)

"Now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you whatever you ask, for all my people in the city know that you are a woman of excellence." (Rth 3:11)

"Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is crossing over ahead of you into the Jordan." (Jos 3:11)

“Now may our God and Father Himself and Jesus our Lord direct our way to you;” (1Th 3:11)

“There is none who understands, there is none who seeks for God.” (Rom 3:11)

"As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” (Mat 3:11)

"Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony.” (Joh 3:11)

“For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” (1Co 3:11)

They sang, praising and giving thanks to the LORD, saying, "For He is good, for His lovingkindness is upon Israel forever." And all the people shouted with a great shout when they praised the LORD because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid. (Ezr 3:11)

And he would answer and say to them, "The man who has two tunics is to share with him who has none; and he who has food is to do likewise." (Luk 3:11)

"For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another." (1Jn 3:11)

"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows. Then I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes," says the LORD of hosts. (Mal 3:10-11)

“Persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me!” (2Ti 3:11)

Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, "The righteous man shall live by faith." (Gal 3:11)

God said to him, "Because you have asked this thing and have not asked for yourself long life, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have you asked for the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself discernment to understand justice, behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I have given you a wise and discerning heart, so that there has been no one like you before you, nor shall one like you arise after you." (1Ki 3:11-12)

"My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD Or loathe His reproof." (Pro 3:11)

“For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies.” (2Th 3:11)

“Knowing that such a man is perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.” (Tit 3:11)

And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?" (Gen 3:11)

"Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?" (Jas 3:11)

"He must turn away from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it." (1Pe 3:11)

“As I swore in My wrath, 'they shall not enter My rest.'"  (Heb 3:11)

“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!” (2Pe 3:10-12)

“Sun and moon stood in their places; They went away at the light of Your arrows, At the radiance of Your gleaming spear.” (Hab 3:11)

Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster
Coincidentally, March 11, 2011 or 3/11, was the day when the tsunami hit Japan and caused the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, which was the worst nuclear disaster in world history.  We are now coming up on the third anniversary of that event, and the effects of radiation are still impacting the planet.

Mutated crystal
The fallout has caused mutated snow flakes and ice crystals in the area of the disaster, as this article reports.

Another article from Liberty Voice reports that the radiation contaminated waters of the Pacific have reached the West Coast of the United States, Mexico, and Canada.  In fact, it is contaminating the fish along the coast! They have even found that the Alaska sockeye salmon population has declined, and the numbers of bird deaths on the West Coast has risen.  Furthermore, even the mushrooms and berries along the US west coast are contaminated with caesium-137.

Not only did South Korea ban Japanese seafood and fish imports in September, but in December, China has banned all shellfish imports from the Pacific Coast of the US!  An article from Ideastream News states, "China has closed its doors to all shellfish imports from an area that stretches from northern California to Alaska. The state of Washington says it's losing as much as $600,000 a week." 

Moreover, the plankton is also dying off in the waters of the US Pacific Coast, as reported in Washington's Blog.  One commenter on that blog named Tall Tom aptly stated:

"The Plankton are dying off. The Pacific Current acts as a conveyor belt bringing fresh Plankton into contact with the poisoned waters off of Fukushima. As they die off there is less Oxygen that is generated through Photosynthesis. This leads to the depletion of Oxygen in Ocean Waters and makes the Oceans acidic...The death of the Oceans, through famine from the loss of Plankton, and a depletion of Oxygen for Aquatic Life is happening as a direct result of Fukushima. Our Atmosphere will also slowly be depleted of Oxygen due to the Plankton Die Off...That depletes the Oxygen supply as well as the supply of the basic building block of the Oceanic Food Chain...The Oceans are dying, and as a result, so will most land-based life, unless we can stop the leaks of poisoned water."

The number of global impacts from this disaster are too many to list here.  The Pacific Current will continue to send out bitter waters from Fukushima that will further contaminate the oceans.  And it will likely continue until the end of the age when the Lord destroys the earth by fire.

An interesting side note is that the third trumpet of the apocalypse turns a third of the earth's waters bitter. (Note: I am not saying that this trumpet has already been sounded or fulfilled).

"The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter." (Rev 8:11)

In a New York Times article published on July 25, 1986, called "Chernobyl Fallout: Apocalyptic Tale," S. Schmemann first noted the link between Chernobyl and the Ukrainian word for "wormwood."  The name of the location where the infamous nuclear reactor disaster happened is derived from the Ukrainian word "chornobyl" - a plant whose Latin botanical name is Armetisia vulgaris, known as "common wormwood." That was in the Ukrainian Bible before the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster ever happened on April 26, 1986.  Since both the Fukushima and Chernobyl nuclear power plants experienced radioactive disasters, and since the name Chernobyl is derived from chornobyl, or Wormwood, this connection seems to associate the bitter waters of Fukushima with the end time apocalyptic events of Revelation. I am not saying that the Fukushima disaster is a result of the future, third trumpet. But could Fukushima be a harbinger of the third trumpet and a sign of the Lord's soon return?

Confirmations Afterward
After I published this article, I saw a brother, named Todd, say he had a dream of the Fukushima earthquake on 3/11/11.  So I sent this article to him, and he replied: “I have read your blog article, and found it extremely interesting. After asking and seeing it so many times in January to March 2011, the Lord awakened me with the number 311 and led me to Revelation 3:11," which says, "I AM coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown." 

Then brother Todd says the Lord confirmed it to him on 3/11/11 with the earthquake in Japan.  On that night of March 10 – 11, Todd had a dream of an earthquake in Japan, and told his family about it when he awoke.  Afterward that morning, they saw the earthquake broadcast on television in the hotel lobby where they were staying.

Then after a period of over two years elapsed, I wrote an article on February 19, 2016, titled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster, which is like a part two of this present article.

Putting it All Together
I believe that the 3:11 Scriptures in God's Word do describe the days we are living in, which we could call a 311 moment.  If you have just read this message, and you have ears to hear what the Lord is saying, then let me encourage you.  Jesus is coming quickly now.  If you are already living a consecrated life for the Lord, in holiness, righteousness, and truth, then hold onto what you have.  Look heavenward, for your redemption draws near.  And warn those who will listen.

If you are not living as you should, and you have become worldly or lukewarm toward the Lord, then repent.  Cry out for mercy.  Wake up, and seek the Lord with all your heart.  Continue to live a life of daily repentance, doing God's will.  Stay ready and on the alert for our Lord's return. And don't forget to warn others and lead them to live their lives for Jesus Christ.

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?"
