I saw The Father in the garden and he was shaking an old tree . I asked him what this tree represented and he said "California" .
The next day I was drawn to this vision again and I watched as The Father uprooted this full grown tree and began to examine the roots thoroughly !
I heard The Father say these words concerning California for your discernment . . .
"They will be annihilated unless they turn from their wicked ways and I am sending them My Jonah's for they are about to encounter a road to Damascus event ! "
Deuteronomy 29:27-29 27 Therefore the LORD's anger burned against this land, so that he brought on it all the curses written in this book. 28 In furious anger and in great wrath the LORD uprooted them from their land and thrust them into another land, as it is now." 29 The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.
Acts 9:1-20 Saul’s Conversion 1 Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest. 2 He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation in the arrest of any followers of the Way he found there. He wanted to bring them—both men and women—back to Jerusalem in chains. 3 As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?” 5 “Who are you, lord?” Saul asked.
And the voice replied, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting! 6 Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7 The men with Saul stood speechless, for they heard the sound of someone’s voice but saw no one! 8 Saul picked himself up off the ground, but when he opened his eyes he was blind. So his companions led him by the hand to Damascus. 9 He remained there blind for three days and did not eat or drink.
10 Now there was a believer in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, calling, “Ananias!”
“Yes, Lord!” he replied.
11 The Lord said, “Go over to Straight Street, to the house of Judas. When you get there, ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul. He is praying to me right now. 12 I have shown him a vision of a man named Ananias coming in and laying hands on him so he can see again.”
13 “But Lord,” exclaimed Ananias, “I’ve heard many people talk about the terrible things this man has done to the believers in Jerusalem! 14 And he is authorized by the leading priests to arrest everyone who calls upon your name.”
15 But the Lord said, “Go, for Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message to the Gentiles and to kings, as well as to the people of Israel. 16 And I will show him how much he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
17 So Ananias went and found Saul. He laid his hands on him and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road, has sent me so that you might regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 Instantly something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he got up and was baptized. 19 Afterward he ate some food and regained his strength.
Saul in Damascus and Jerusalem Saul stayed with the believers in Damascus for a few days. 20 And immediately he began preaching about Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is indeed the Son of God!” 2 Chronicles 7:14-16 (New Living Translation) 14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 15 My eyes will be open and my ears attentive to every prayer made in this place. 16 For I have chosen this Temple and set it apart to be holy—a place where my name will be honored forever. I will always watch over it, for it is dear to my heart.
"THE ANSWER" ~2 Chronicles 7:14-16
14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 15 My eyes will be open and my ears attentive to every prayer made in this place. 16 For I have chosen this Temple and set it apart to be holy—a place where my name will be honored forever. I will always watch over it, for it is dear to my heart.
Job 19:9-11
9 He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head.
10 He tears me down on every side till I am gone; he uproots my hope like a tree.
11 His anger burns against me; he counts me among his enemies.
Proverbs 10:30 The righteous will never be uprooted, but the wicked will not remain in the land.
Proverbs 12:3 A man cannot be established through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted.
Ecclesiastes 3:2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
Jeremiah 1:10 See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant."
Your perspective has
ABSOLUTELY NO REMOTELY ADEQUATE EXPLANATION
for how many dozens of people over more than 150 years could come up with dreams and visions without any awareness of others that are extremely congruent describing the same events.
However, we realize that denial is quite popular in our era. The DIMRATS swim in it.
Therefore?
PING
Therefore the verse has nothing to do with the timing of the parousia.
Disturbing indeed ... pastors should know how to properly use apostrophes!
CA has a LOT of people, many conservative. The eastern and central portions of CA are conservative. California is labeled for the representatives, like Boxer and Feinstein, the Governator etc. the Hollywood left and the West Hollywood, San Francisco queer crowds. Political correctness dorks in the densely populated city areas along the coast fill in the margin, and viola! CA is the most corrupt place in the US.
Where you lived, and my folks still live, produced and elected such conservatives as Duncan Hunter. Only a relatively small margin exists between conservatives and liberals, and that means MILLIONS of conservatives suffer the liberal govt that has dominated the state. In most every state, the margin between the two extremes is not that great, and the MSM and public education with their anti-American agendas have succeeded in compiling the numbers to see the entire country go the route CA is laughed at about.
What was it Solzhenitsyn said about the line between good and evil and the human heart?
True.
Can't necessarily put the extra apostrophe here on God. The "prophet" could have done that absentmindedly. But God sure does like to mix metaphors. I wasn't aware Jonah went to Damascus. Different fish, maybe.
He caught the 12:00 fish, from Tucson. Something with legs, of course, to get him inland.
Cool post.
Just another fish story:
I swear it was this big and gave me great advice on the Stock Market.
OH, SO GOD WASTED WORDS IN HIS SCRIPTURE?
NONSENSE.
WHAT UNMITIGATED BALDERDASH.
AGREED. WELL PUT.
OH, so when God's words in scripture don't refer to what you want them to refer to they are "wasted"? Okayyyyyyyyyyy.
When a fault starts shaking .. it can sometimes continue for days or months.
They have sensors all over the place and can usually tell which fault line has been affected. As other quakes continue on that same fault line, they are considered “aftershocks” of the same quake. The original quake is usually much larger than the aftershocks.
You’d have to check with the USGS for info as to the fear of one quake causing a larger one - I believe it’s very unusual, but I don’t have any stats.
Sounds like level one is good, but you find lots of things interesting that are off the beaten path, can I have both?
No sweat.
I’ll list you on all 4 levels then.
Let me know if it gets to be too much . . . though recently, I’ve only tended to ping level one as all the things I care to bother with seem pretty important to me.
BLESS YOU IN YOUR PREPARING AND DRAWING CLOSER TO GOD.
I would imagine that you’d likely know better than to imagine that I’d think that to the tiniest degree.
IF THOSE WORDS DID NOT PARTICULARLY REFER TO THE END TIMES—as in the birth pangs level, part, era that will increasingly transition into the GREAT TRIBULATION . . . ,
what might you imagine would have been their purpose
OTHERWISE???
Lots of pagans sound much more alert to the END TIMES goings on and Biblical truths about the same than some of the “Christians” hereon.
Shocking.
IMHO, it might be more likely that God, in His grace, might discipline a nation in advance of the Great Tribulation, as a reminder to the rest of the world of Who He really Is.
The US has degenerated by several generations in our thinking from what we were a century ago. That degeneration has picked up momentum and will likely take something in the way of discipline to shake us up out of acquiescence to corruption in our souls. There are too many Americans who simply live by what is right in their own minds, opposing those who think nothing matters, and both have different agendas. Very few live by virtue in this generation.
Where wee tempt to influence other peoples to also degenerate further from God by faith in Christ, we simply invite national discipline upon ourselves.
