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:

"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

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)

“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)
"In
that day you will feel no shame Because of all your deeds By which you
have rebelled against Me; For then I will remove from your midst Your
proud, exulting ones, And you will never again be haughty On My holy
mountain." (Zep 3:11)
Her
leaders pronounce judgment for a bribe, Her priests instruct for a
price And her prophets divine for money. Yet they lean on the LORD
saying, "Is not the LORD in our midst? Calamity will not come upon us."
(Mic 3:11)
Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "An
enemy, even one surrounding the land, Will pull down your strength from
you And your citadels will be looted." (Amo 3:11)

"Behold, I am about to do a thing in Israel at which both ears of
everyone who hears it will tingle. (1Sa 3:11)
Proclaim
this among the nations: Prepare a war; rouse the mighty men! Let all
the soldiers draw near, let them come up! Beat your plowshares into
swords And your pruning hooks into spears; Let the weak say, "I am a
mighty man." Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations, And gather
yourselves there. Bring down, O LORD, Your mighty ones. Let the nations
be aroused And come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I will
sit to judge All the surrounding nations. (Joe 3:9-12)
"He has turned aside my ways and torn me to pieces; He has made me desolate." (Lam 3:11)
"Why did I not die at birth, Come forth from the womb and expire? (Job 3:11)
And the LORD said to me, "Faithless Israel has proved herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.” (Jer 3:11)

there not a prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of the LORD by
him?" And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said,
"Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who used to pour water on the hands
of Elijah." (2Ki 3:11)

made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in
their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has
done from the beginning even to the end." (Ecc 3:11)
"But whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire.” (Dan 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?"
