As the world waits to see what the end of a seven-year biblical cycle known as the Shemitah may bring this fall, New York Times best-selling author Rabbi Jonathan Cahn issued a warning to prepare for economic calamity, war in the Middle East or even worse.
*snip*
In The Mystery of the Shemitah, Cahn described how this biblical pattern is connected to numerous events in modern history, including the rise of America to superpower status, World Wars I and II, the return of the Jewish people to their ancient homeland, the Six-Day War and even the rising of the World Trade Center.
He also noted a pattern of judgments at seven-year intervals in September 2001 and 2008 marked by the greatest crashes in Wall Street history, up to that time. The first occurred on Sept. 17, 2001, just a few days after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and the second occurred on Sept. 29, 2008. Both occurred on the biblical day of Elul 29, the very day appointed to wipe out the financial accounts of a nation. The next one occurs on Sept. 13.
"For years, financial observers have been mystified why it is that all the greatest crashes tend to take place the same time of year," Cahn says. "When is it? September to October. What if we take the greatest crashes in history. Do any of them take place at the end of the seven-year cycle of the Shemitah at the time of the wipeout and the answer is, 'Yes.' Every single one of them does. And the thing is the phenomenon is increasing. It's intensifying."

Bkmrk.
Above all, the call is to put our faith in Christ and to trust Him and his word, in spite of how the world reacts or treats us. We are not to be tossed to and fro by world events but we are to trust God alone for our lives.
Yesterday was also the Jewish day of mourning and fasting for the Temple called Tisha B’Av (aka 9th of Av).

I have a pressure canner and maybe it’s time to start pressure canning some meat again.
I like canning of all types because the food is NOT dependent on electricity to keep the freezer going.
Mr. mm recently bought a power inverter that runs off the car, which comes with convenient sizable gas can attached.
He said it also provides cleaner electricity than a regular generator would, so it could be used for the computer.
And no, I don’t know what brand he bought. I can ask him when he gets home.
Oh lawdy.
I am so screwed.
Does Larry Edleson know about this? He is saying October 7th.
What ever. It is pretty obvious that something is coming, and soon.
A dehydrator and a vacuum food packing system with a canning jar attachment are great buys! I buy frozen vegtables on sale into the dehydrator and then into canning jars with a 100cc oxgen packet (I know over kill) and the vacuum packed.
Absolutely we should support Israel. God has promised to bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse her.
But we are not Israel and do not take her place in prophecy. There are things appointed to Israel that are not appointed to the Church. I am only cautioning that discernment is needed when trying to apply cycles appointed for Israel to the Church. I did not say the application is not valid, just that we should be very careful when we tread this path
Well, no one knows for sure what’s coming but I would not be surprised at all if it starts with a financial collapse. The whole world is awash in debt. Japan’s is something like 200% of GDP!!! How do you recover from that?
Most important is to get your life right with God the Father. See His Son and His Son’s Book (the Bible) for details. All else is of lesser importance. There are plenty of prepper sites on-line and I’m sure there are plenty of people here that can offer help. Here are just a few basics - and I’m no expert:
Get as debt free as you can. Have some cash on hand or valuable items you might want to trade if it comes to that. Stock up on food and meds. At least have a 3 month supply (longer if you have space and $).
Get connected. If you don’t have a church group you love and trust or close family - you will need some type of support group you can rely on - and trust. If and when hard times come you won’t be able to do all the work yourself. Different people have different resources, talents, abilities.
If you’ve never thought about getting a ham radio license and a ham radio, now is a good time. You can get a cheap one for about $35 dollars or a great one for $170. By a book, see your local community college or look on-line for a study group to help you pass the test.
Fish antibiotics are made by the same company in Georgia that make antibiotics for humans. They are exactly the same and reasonably priced. Buy some if going to the doctor is out of the question when/if the ballon goes up.
Get lots of rechargeable batteries. Move vital info from your computer to your smart phone. Or better, consider converting a 3rd generation smart phone to just a pdf or document reading device and load it/them up with important papers and books. A Kindle or something similar is also a good. Think about different connectors for charging your devices. Are they compatible with your charging device/s? Can you make them so? It’s not too difficult.
If you can afford a solar panel, the Instapark Mercury 27 Portable & Foldabel 27 watt solar batter charger might be a good option. It has DC 12v output for automotive batteries and dual DC 5v standard USB ports for phones, tablets and other portable devices. Not cheap but reasonable. Don’t go with anything less than 27 watts ($130). Along the same lines is Goal Zero’s 21005 Guide 10 Plus USB Power Pack is a pretty handy little device ($40) as it comes with batteries, charges them or leave them in an use it as a batter pack, has an LED light built in that runs for 20+ hrs.
One of the books you might consider getting could be something like “Where There Is No Doctor - a village health care handbook” by David Werner or something similar.
Sawyer Products Mini Water Filtration System ($75) and a bag or two of pool shock, are some things you might want to consider if you are worried about clean water to drink.
Finally, as a good friend who was in special forces keeps telling me, when it comes to being prepared and depending on “things that are supposed to work” to help you survive... two is one and one is none. Things break, breakdown, quit working so having two of an important item is critical.
There’s tons more as I didn’t talk about hunting, guns, crossbows or animal traps or food storage methods - but this isn’t a bad list to get started. Doing little things over time is the best way and it helps to get your mind thinking about an entirely different way of life that might be forced upon us in the near future. God often warns his people about what is coming. Whether Jonathan Cahn is correct in his assessment or not we know the Bible tells of signs to look for in the Last Days. There are many of those signs today. Even if that wasn’t so, the moral decay present in our nation today can not long continue. Even on a human level we can see its destructive impact on our nation. It’s obvious that we cannot continue to live like we did yesterday. Calamity is coming and many see it approaching. Proverbs tells us that a wise man sees the danger and prepares. Can we do less. Blessings!
Sounds good. I’m just making jerky.
I’m missing the box of drugs.
So I really AM so screwed.
We all are in the long run.
The first thing is to get right with God because eternity is a LONG time.
Whatever happens here will be over soon enough whether it just fizzles out or God brings down the curtain.
But God hates my guts!
Amen, brother (or sister as the case may be)
The French Foreign Minster in May 2014 repeated 3 times in English that the world had 500 days to avoid the abyss of climate chaos. John Kerry stood beside him uncomfortable. That would be September 23/24 2015.
No one questioned this odd insistent and very specific date
The pope is coming to the US to address the UN about climate (?) on September 24 having just hosted a large group of leftists and US mayors like NYC De Blasio
We live in interesting times and I for one will,be glad to see October
The fast is moved to TODAY because of the Sabbath.
If He hated your guts, you’d be burning in hell right now.
He loves you, enough to die in your place so you can live forever.
