Prophecy Sign: The roaring and tossing of the seas, (severe weather patterns?)
When things really get going during the darkest days of the Tribulation, and the major judgments of God are poured out on this world, people will then truly understand what Jesus meant when he warned of the roaring, tossing seas. Some articles we have read regarding this prophecy suggest that the major earthquakes and tectonic plate movements which occur during the Tribulation will cause Tsunamis like nothing ever seen before. In the meantime, the wild weather patterns which seem to be churning up some rather wicked storms sure have us taking notice and wondering if we might be already seeing the roaring and tossing of seas of end-times prophecy
“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Luke 21:25 NIV
Major flooding in India, due to heavy monsoon rains, has displaced more than two million people in the Orissa, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar states, according to officials. Several areas have been cut off by flood waters and more than 80 people have been killed following two weeks of torrential rain._____________________________________ A powerful typhoon has struck the Philippines, triggering floods and cutting power in the capital, Manila and throughout the main island, Luzon. At least 16 people have been killed, including several children, most of them in Manila. Typhoon Nesat also forced the closure of the Philippine Stock Exchange and the US embassy, and the ground floor of Manila's main hospital was flooded. More than 100,000 people in Albay province were ordered to evacuate.

Israel's Land of Milk and Honey: Prophecy Fulfilled
Prophecy Sign: Israel as a nation would be restored in the last days, and would be bless of God with riches.
Just read this passage from the book of Ezekiel and then read the following article. There will be no way you can tell us that Israel’s rebirth as a nation and the blessings she has received are not the fulfillment of God's promises. God says what he means and means what he says. There is no allegory in the promises of Yahweh God. This is what the Sovereign LORD says: On the day I cleanse you from all your sins, I will resettle your towns, and the ruins will be rebuilt. The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through it. They will say, “This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden; the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited.” Then the nations around you that remain will know that I the LORD have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted what was desolate. I the LORD have spoken, and I will do it. Ezekiel 36:33-36 NIV In the Bible, God promises the Jewish people a land flowing with milk and honey. And while the depiction is seen as a sign of abundance, it's also literal. "In fact, milk and honey is critical. It's used 20 times in scripture," explained Moshe Kempinsky, an author and co-owner of Israel's Shorashim Biblical Shop. But when the Jewish people returned from 2,000 years in exile, they found a barren, desert land. "God says, 'I'm going to do something miraculous,'" Kempinsky added. "'I'm going to create a land that even though those climate issues don't call for it, it's going to be a land that's going to be filled with dates and honey, and also with milk so that you know that... nothing in this land comes here except when it's from Me.'"Israel's Land of Milk and Honey: Prophecy Fulfilled

Recent Mass UFO Sightings 2011 - A precursor to the Great Deception?
Prophecy Sign: A great deception will make people believe the lieWe firmly believe that the great deception that is coming to deceive the peoples of the earth into believing and accepting the Antichrist as God, will be the appearance of what many will call our Alien brethren returned to earth.This lie, already being accepted by the Catholic Church, (see our previous blog entries), will shocking in its first appearance, and diabolical in its application as so many people will fall for this lie. Becoming convinced that what they are seeing is Alien benefactors come to save our planet.Don't for a minute believe this!! These visitors will be none other than the return of the fallen angels, (Demonic). These inter-dimensional beings will help the Antichrist to display the many signs and wonders that will accompany his reign on this planet.
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie. 2 Thessalonians 2:8-11 NIV
There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Luke 21:11 NIV

Iran’s Secret War
Prophecy Sign: The emergence and influence of Iran in middle-east affairs. Iran a member of the Gog/Magog alliance
No doubt Iran has turned into a major player in Middle-East affairs and a major enemy of Israel. Bible prophecy warns of a future time when Iran will come against Israel in a battle known as the Gog/Magog war. We believe this battle is near at hand. Persia, (Iran), Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you. Ezekiel 38:5-6 NIVWe all know about Iran’s nuclear desires. To what extent, some may still question–do they want a nuclear weapon or are they simply seeking nuclear power to support their energy complex? GOP candidates have debated the Iranian nuclear topic, yet no GOP candidate has been asked the very real question about Iran’s current proxy war taking place throughout the Middle East—let alone, how they will deal with the rogue regime.We can worry about Iran’s nuclear endeavors all we want. The real threat posed by the Shiite terror sponsoring regime stems from its current activities of proxy warfare throughout the Middle East. President Obama, or a newly elected American President, will be forced to deal with Iran. Sanctions will not marginalize Iranian activities so the real question must be asked—how will any American President deal with Iran?

Pope praises Luther, but damns 'frightening’ evangelism
Prophecy Sign: The global false religious system of the coming Tribulation period So we have the Catholic Church cozying up with the mainstream Protestant Church, and a Muslim religious leader saying that Christianity, Judaism, and Islam share much and we should all just get along. The much prophesied false religious system of the end-times is fast approaching.
But before we all start singing Kumbaya, true biblical Christianity, you're just not welcomed here. You nutty evangelical types, (Pentecostals, Baptists, Evangelical Free, Alliance, etc), that insist on salvation by grace alone, need to be watched with a suspicious eye. You might cause our little global religious coming togetherness to not happen with your "frightening" evangelism.
Well Praise God for that we say.
Jesus Christ warns that many so called Christians will cry out in vain as Jesus shuts the door on them for good. Don't be one of those Christians. Become a true follower of Jesus Christ by asking Jesus for forgiveness of your sins, and then ask for the free gift of salvation through Christ alone. You don't need to say Hail Mary’s, or stroke a rosary bead, or work your way into heaven with a host of good deeds. Your acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and his free gift of salvation through him alone is all you need.
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ Matthew 7:21-23 NIVPope Benedict XVI sought to reach out across a five century rift during a historic visit to the birthplace of the Lutheran church in the former East Germany. Visiting the monastery in Erfurt where Martin Luther lived before launching the Reformation, the pontiff praised Luther's "deep passion and driving force" and called for unity between the Catholic and Protestant faiths in the face of a new evangelism. He launched a thinly veiled attack on the evangelical and Pentecostal churches which have been attracting converts from more established faiths, especially in developing countries. ___________________________________ Al-Azhar, based in Cairo, is the most important center of learning and the supreme religious authority in the Sunni Muslim world. In an article published June 23, 2011 in the Egyptian government daily Al-Ahram, its head, Al-Azhar Sheikh Dr. Ahmad Al-Tayeb, expressed remarkably tolerant views towards non-Muslims, especially Christians and Jews. He wrote: "A Muslim cannot imagine all of mankind sharing a single creed or turning to a single religion – even if this religion is Islam. As long as this remains the case, the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims [must be] one of mutual recognition.Pope praises Luther, but damns 'frightening’ evangelismChristianity, Judaism Share Basic Tenets of Islam

More Than 100 Christians Killed in Nigeria’s Plateau State
Prophecy Sign: The persecution of Christians in the last days
The religion of peace, (Islam), is at it again. A bunch of radical Muslim extremists slaughtered more than 100 Christians in Nigeria, and in Iran the regime there is ready to execute a Christian pastor if he doesn't renounce his faith in Jesus Christ. Islam seems only peaceful when they are but a small minority in the population as a whole. Again, we asked that you pray for the many Christians living under threat of persecution and death in non-Christian nations.
They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. John 16:2 NIV
A rash of attacks by armed Muslim extremists on villages in Nigeria’s Plateau state in the past month have left more than 100 Christians dead, including the elimination of entire families, sources said. In a guerilla-type “hit and run” attack on the Christian community of Vwang Kogot, Muslim attackers at about 8 p.m. on Sept. 9 killed 14 Christians, including a pregnant woman. Survivors of the attack told Compass that the assailants raided the village with the aid of men in military uniforms of the Nigerian Army.
_____________________________________
An Iranian pastor will face execution within days if he refuses to renounce his Christian faith. The Iranian supreme court will hold a hearing Wednesday to give Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani one last opportunity to recant, according to the British group Christianity Solidarity Worldwide. Nadarkhani has already refused to recant his faith in court previously. "As far as we understand, he will be asked again if he wishes to recant," CSW press officer Kiri Kankhwende said. "Should he refuse, we understand that he will be facing an execution."

JUDEA & SAMARIA - OR - THE WEST BANK?
The following message came with an email we received along with this video: (thanks to the one who sent this along to us) Please watch this seven minute video that gives a godly perspective on what is commonly referred to as the West Bank but is, in effect, Judea and Samaria - the very heartland of Israel. It has been written and produced by a Canadian Christian, Daniel Bastien, who in recent years has simply encountered and been challenged by God in a fresh way. It is so thrilling to see what manner of men and women are emerging within the Christian church, taking active stands for Israel and God's Jewish people. We hope the following presentation will inspire you to action, to speak out on behalf of Israel's right to retain her heartland, and to uphold God's land and people at a time when too much of the world wants to deny her that Biblical, covenant right. As we all prepare to celebrate the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah), also known as Rosh HaShanah (Head of the Year), may we all hear the clear sound of God's trumpet call through the message this young Christian Zionist has so clearly pressented.

No sign Israel, Palestinians narrowing gaps to allow negotiations
Prophecy Sign: Jerusalem and Israel will be like a huge and burdensome stone to the nations.
I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. Zechariah 12:2-3 NIV
Those words spoken by Yahweh God and recorded by the Prophet Zechariah have never been more applicable and prophetic to the events of this week and those of next week as the world struggles with what to do about the Palestinian/Israel conundrum.
Israelis and Palestinians showed no sign Thursday that they were willing to narrow the gaps that have stalled negotiations for years, an ominous sign for the U.S.-led effort to curb a Palestinian statehood bid at the United Nations. An Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss diplomacy, said there was no talk about a freeze of construction of Jewish settlements. And a top Palestinian official said they would not drop their twin conditions for negotiating: That Israel stop building on lands the Palestinians want for a future state and agree to base talks on borders as they existed before the 1967 war.____________________________________________Diplomats scrambled on Thursday to head off a clash over Palestinian plans to seek full U.N. recognition with little visible sign of progress and a deadline some 24 hours away. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad briefly seized the spotlight at the United Nations General Assembly, accusing the United States of using the September 11, 2001, attacks as a pretext for attacks on Iraq and Afghanistan and condemning western support for Zionism. But attention focused on the crisis looming over this year's U.N. meeting -- Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is ready to submit his application to the U.N. Security Council on Friday despite pressure from U.S. President Barack Obama to forgo the U.N. option and resume direct talks with Israel. Obama's meetings with Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday ended with no breakthrough, illustrating stark new limits of U.S. influence over a process that is spinning in unpredictable directions.

Ancient mystery behind 9-11?
Prophecy Sign: God's Judgement This video from the Sid Roth's It's Supernatural program is very interesting and well worth watching. At about 28 minutes long it won't take up too much of your time.
In the video the guest, Jonathan Cahn, a Messianic Jewish Rabbi, explores the many correlations between the judgements that ancient Israel went through and what America is currently going through and will continue to go through if she does not repent and turn back to God.
"The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars." Isaiah 9:10 NIV

Baird bares teeth in offering defence of Israel at UN
Prophecy Sign: Those who bless Israel will in turn be blessed.
We are most thankful that our current federal government, under the leadership of Stephen Harper and the Conservative party, are such supporters and backers of the nation of Israel. We believe this is one of the reasons for such a blessed country that we live in. We thank God for this, and for his honouring of his promise to the nations that bless his people, the Jewish nation.
I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Genesis 12:3 NIVCanada used its United Nations speaking slot Monday to lambaste opponents of Israel as no better than the appeasers who allowed fascism and communism to flourish before the Second World War. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird delivered Canada's views to the General Assembly in a speech that put meat on the bones of the Harper government's unflinching support of Israel. "Just as fascism and communism were the great struggles of previous generations, terrorism is the great struggle of ours. And far too often, the Jewish state is on the front line of our struggle and its people the victims of terror," says a prepared text of Baird's remarks. "Canada will not accept or stay silent while the Jewish state is attacked for defending its territory and its citizens. The Second World War taught us all the tragic price of 'going along' just to 'get along."' Baird bares teeth in offering defence of Israel at UN - includes Video

Shofar ends spiritual slumber on Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur
Prophecy Sign: The Last Trumpet will sound. We will be caught up, (the Rapture)Most Christians have never been taught the Hebraic traditions of the bible. Remember, the bible for the most part was written by Jews for a Jewish audience, (with the exception of the New Testament after the Gospels).As most Christians have not been taught these traditions and Hebrew idioms, the interpretation of bible prophecy and scripture has become muddled up. Case in point, the blowing of the Last Trump. Many Christians have been taught that the last trump equates to the 7th Trumpet of the Trumpets Judgments of Revelation. Consequently those who believe that the last trump occurs during the Tribulation believe that the Church must therefore go through the Tribulation, with Christ removing the Church at his second coming at the end of the Tribulation.However, once you know of the traditions that Paul, (a Jew and the writer of the letter to the Corinthians), knew of, then this passage of scripture takes on a whole new meaning.Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 NIVWe have an article from the Vancouver Sun which explains more about this final blast of the Shofar, (Trumpet), which takes place during the coming fall Jewish feasts. We also have a link to an article which explains further the differences between the Shofar blast of 1 Corinthians 15:52, and the Trumpet blast of Revelation 11:15To all of our Jewish friends, we wish you the best during the upcoming feast days ahead. And for those Christians who know of the relationship between Jesus Christ’s fulfillments of the first 4 Jewish feasts and the possibility of his fulfillment of the final 3 feasts, we say look up, for exciting things might just be around the corner. Shalom and Shana Tova.The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, falls this year - as it does every year - on the first day of the month of Tishri. Because the Jewish year is based on a lunar calendar, the first of Tishri can land anytime from early September to the first week of October. This year, the date is Sept. 29 but, since the day is determined by the moon, the holiday actually begins at sundown Sept. 28.Nothing illuminates the emotional high of Rosh Hashanah and the days that follow more than the blowing of the shofar, the ancient wind instrument made from a ram's horn. Jews will be roused from spiritual slumber by 100 blasts of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah, while one long blast at the end of the final Yom Kippur service signifies that the prayers have been received, the Book of Life has been sealed, the Divine has left the realm, and it's time to eat. The shofar is a powerful symbol, famously used by Joshua to bring down the walls of Jericho and throughout biblical history as a call to the people to assemble, to intimidate an enemy and to advance in battle.

Goldman Sachs Rules the World - GET PREPARED advises financial trader on BBC World News
Prophecy Sign: The collapse of the global economy Finally, some truth from those in the know about what’s coming down the pipe regarding our world economy. And the truth is, it isn't going to be pretty, (except for the elite who will make bucket loads of money). The trader in this video was very candid about what is soon to happen and his prognostication is a completely different message from the ones we see on the regular evening news broadcast. Most news broadcasts try to paint a picture of status quo with nothing to worry about in the global markets.
When you watch this video think about the elite bankers and financiers, (Goldman Sachs and the rest), who will profit from such a collapse, then think about this prophecy from the book of James:
Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. James 5:1-3 NIV
A financial trader in London caused a storm of outrage by suggesting that world leaders cannot do anything to prevent a global market collapse, saying that investment bank Goldman Sachs ruled the world. Alessio Rastani's comments on BBC Television on Monday have gone viral, viewed by more than 360,000 people, but they fit so closely to the stereotype of a heartless banker that rumours are rife that he is actually part of a hoax. Answering questions about world leaders' response to the eurozone debt crisis, the 34-year-old said traders "know the stock market is finished. The euro, as far as they're concerned, they don't really care".

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. James 5:1-3 NIV
A financial trader in London caused a storm of outrage by suggesting that world leaders cannot do anything to prevent a global market collapse, saying that investment bank Goldman Sachs ruled the world. Alessio Rastani's comments on BBC Television on Monday have gone viral, viewed by more than 360,000 people, but they fit so closely to the stereotype of a heartless banker that rumours are rife that he is actually part of a hoax. Answering questions about world leaders' response to the eurozone debt crisis, the 34-year-old said traders "know the stock market is finished. The euro, as far as they're concerned, they don't really care".

Next evolution: Embedded chips for cyber connectivity
Prophecy Sign: The Mark of the Beast
It's our opinion that the "Mark of the Beast", will be something more than a embedded RFID chip or a microchip tattoo, but may well use these types of technology as part of the mark. We believe the future mark will be some form of change agent, (DNA perhaps), that will effectively make the person who has taken the mark to no longer be a creation of God. This is why the Angels so vociferously declare to the citizens of the world not to take the mark, for to do so will immediately condemn that person, and make them unredeemable to God. It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. Revelation 13:16-17 NIV A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulphur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. Revelation 14:9-10 NIVFederally funded research at the University of Illinois has produced a microchip that can be put on skin like a temporary tattoo and is successful in linking the physical world and the cyberworld in stunning new ways, according to a university announcement. "We think this could be an important conceptual advance in wearable electronics, to achieve something that is almost unnoticeable to the wearer," said university electrical and computer engineering professor Todd Coleman. Coleman helped lead the multi-disciplinary team that worked on the project that is being touted for its uses in medical monitoring as well as treatment of disorders that require links to computers. Coleman said the technology "can connect you to the physical world and the cyberworld in a very natural way that feels very comfortable." Next evolution: Embedded chips for cyber connectivity

Killer earthquakes on the rise
Prophecy Sign: An increase in earthquakes and volcanoes in diverse places Ahaa!! Finally, a few scientists and media alike are finally having to admit that just maybe, perhaps, could be, that earthquakes are on the rise. We could have told them that. Earthquakes and volcanic activity are indeed both very active of late. We have Volcanoes in Iceland, Indonesia and the Canary Islands, (by the way you might want to cancel your dream trip to the Canary Islands), all close to eruptions that could prove quite devastating. Plus we have earthquakes shaking nearly every part of the world. For instance here in Canada where earthquakes are about as frequent as 80 F. days in January, we have seen three very recent tremblers. Two off the coast of British Columbia and one to the far north of Alberta in the North West Territories.There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Luke 21:11 NIVThe last decade has seen an intensification in earthquake activities. The 2004 Sumatra quake in Indonesia, which registered 9.3 on the Richter scale, has triggered stress in many areas. The Sikkim earthquake could be a manifestation of this stress. Earthquakes, some scientists believe, are on the rise. The earthquake in Fukushima in Japan had a magnitude of 8.9 and was the largest in the recorded history of Japan. The February 2010 Chile earthquake registered a similar magnitude as the Japan quake while the January 2010 quake in Haiti had a magnitude of 7.0 on the Richter scale. Prof D.K. Paul, an earthquake engineer with IIT Roorkee, believes the pushing of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian plate (at the rate of 5 cm per year) results in stresses which over a period of time, manifest as earthquakes.___________________________________ A 5.3-magnitude earthquake struck the Northwest Territories Sunday night, the U.S. Geological Survey confirmed. The quake was recorded about 200 kilometres south of Norman Wells, N.W.T., at a depth of 2.9 kilometres. The USGS said the quake was recorded at 7 p.m. local time. No injuries or damage was immediately reported___________________________________ The Canary Islands Government has raised the alert level for the El Hierro volcano in the Canary Islands (Spain) to ‘Yellow’, the highest alert status since an unprecedented earthquake swarm commenced in mid-July. Spanish seismologists, accompanied by the President of the Cabildo de El Hierro and the Minister of Security and Emergency Area, held a press conference on Sunday to reassure the 10,000 residents of the smallest of the Canary Islands that the raising of the alert level does not indicate that an eruption is imminent. They indicated, however, that the number of volcanic earthquakes detected beneath El Hierro continues to increase.Killer earthquakes on the rise5.3-magnitude earthquake strikes Northwest TerritoriesCanary Islands Government Raises El Hierro Volcanic Risk Level

Iran just months from N-bomb
Prophecy Sign: Iran, (Persia), a future member of the Gog/Magog Alliance that will come against IsraelWe have seen several previous articles over the last year or two which reported that Iran was only months away from acquiring nuclear weapons, with nothing reported after that. So we are not sure if this may be another article along those lines. Needless to say, Iran is trying very hard to meet their nuclear weapons goal, and given enough time, will do just that. How long Israel can afford to wait before authorizing a pre-emptive strike on these Iranian facilities is anyone’s guess.Iran has become one of Israel major adversaries in these, the last days. Under the leadership of the Israel hating little dictator called Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran has sponsored and armed many of the Palestinian groups that surround Israel, (Hezbollah in north Lebanon being the most noted). God will pull Iran into an alliance of nations that will attempt to destroy Israel. This alliance, (recorded in Ezekiel chapters 38 & 39), will be personally wiped out by God Almighty in a show of force that will make no doubt that he is still has Israel's back.I will make known my holy name among my people Israel. I will no longer let my holy name be profaned, and the nations will know that I the Lord am the Holy One in Israel. It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign Lord. This is the day I have spoken of. Ezekiel 39:7-8 NIVIran may be just six months away from developing a nuclear bomb, despite international attempts to thwart the program through sanctions and cyber attacks. Two years after an underground installation in the city of Qmo was revealed in a joint press conference by US President Barack Obama, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and former British prime minister Gordon Brown, Iran has significantly advanced its uranium enrichment program at the site. The latest report from the International Atomic Energy Agency concludes that Iran has not only boosted production but upgraded the level of enrichment from 3.5 per cent to almost 20 per cent and has installed more sophisticated centrifuges, which it is moving to the bunker in Qom, apparently to protect them from airstrikes. Low-enriched uranium is used for nuclear power, which Iran insists is the purpose of its program.Weapons-grade uranium is about 90 per cent enriched.

Earth in crosshairs of gigantic solar storm
Prophecy Sign: There will be signs in the Sun, Moon and Stars
Talk about signs in the sky, (or at the very least, cosmic displays). This week has been and will continue to be a week of heavenly wonders. From a giant solar storm that is turning it's guns slowly towards the earth, (not unlike a battleship turning towards its' target), to a second supermoon of the year which will happen this week, to asteroids on near earth approaches. And let’s not forget about that little comet in the sky called Elenin that is slated to sweep through the constellation Virgo in the next couple of days.
Does all this mean anything prophetically? We don't know. Like everybody else, we will find out in the coming days ahead.
There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Luke 21:25 NIV
A sunspot, 62,000 miles across - so big it would dwarf the Earth - is releasing gigantic solar flares that could in theory wreak havoc with electrical communications ranging from handheld electronics such as iPhones to sections of the power grid. Nasa has detected two X-class solar eruptions from 1302 – the most extreme possible – in the past week. One that occurred on September 24 produced an amazing light show over England last night – but it’s far from over, as the sunspot isn’t yet directly aligned with Earth. NASA experts have said 'anything electrical' can be affected by such activity. ________________________________________ Tomorrow night the new moon will make a close approach to Earth, giving rise to the second supermoon of the year—but this one will have the power of invisibility. Because the moon's orbit is egg shaped, there are times in the roughly month long lunar cycle when the moon is at perigee—its closest distance to Earth—or at apogee, its farthest distance from Earth. "A supermoon occurs when the moon is at perigee and it's in either a full or new phase," said Raminder Singh Samra, an astronomer at the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre in Vancouver, Canada._______________________________________ It remains unclear at this point whether NASA or the ESA will reveal further information about a near-earth asteroid that is scheduled to pass between the moon and earth later this year. The 1300-foot-wide (400 metres) asteroid, which is more than one and a half times the length of a soccer pitch, will pass within 0.85 lunar distances of the Earth on November 8, 2011. Discovered on December 28, 2005 by Robert McMillan of the Spacewatch Program near Tucson, Arizona, 2005 YU55 is believed to be a very dark, nearly spherical object.

MK Katz to Diaspora Jews: Come Home
Prophecy Sign: The re-gathering of the Jewish people, back to the land of their forefathers
The most amazing fulfilled prophecy since that of the prophecies of Jesus first coming is the prophecy of the restoration of the nation of Israel and the return of the Jewish people from all parts of the world to the land of their forefathers. We have witnessed that in our lifetime. Something that was waited on for centuries.
For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. Ezekiel 36:24 NIV
This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. Ezekiel 37:21 NIVMK Yaakov “Ketzaleh” Katz (National Union), who visited Mount Hevron on Tuesday with the members of the Knesset’s Israel Lobby, had a special message to Jews living in all parts of the world on the occasion of Rosh Hashanah: Come home to Israel. “To our brothers, to our friends who live in the United States of America, who live in England or who live anywhere in the world, we want to wish you a very good new year,” said Katz. “We have today over six and a half million Jews in Eretz Yisrael,” he added. “We have over 700,000 Jews living in the areas that were liberated in 1967. We are strong. We are going to stay here forever. We love you and we bless you that you will find the way, God willing, to come to Israel in the future.” MK Katz to Diaspora Jews: Come Home

The Palestinians Want Peace --- Just Not With a Jewish State
Prophecy Sign: The hatred of Ishmael’s offspring, (Arabs), towards the offspring of Isaac, (Jews)
So just how is Israel suppose to make peace with a group, (the Palestinians), that has no intention of ever recognizing Israel’s status as the Jewish State, and in fact has it in its charter, (see videos below), to eliminate what they call the Zionist presence in Palestine? The Arab world hates Israel, hates the Jews and hates the God that Israel and the Jews, (as well as Christians), represents. However God still loves the Arab people as he loves all people of the world. In fact God loved the forefather of the Arab people, (Ishmael), so much that he blessed him and his offspring as a great nation of peoples. Pray for the people of the Arab world that they would come to know the true God, (Yahweh), and his son Jesus Christ.
The angel of the LORD also said to her: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers." Genesis 16:11-12 NIV
Israel, in the Palestinian view, is an Israeli state, not a Jewish state. As Israel's ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, wrote in The Washington Post this past Friday: "Two Israeli peace proposals, in 2000 and 2008 … met virtually all of the Palestinians' demands for a sovereign state in the areas won by Israel in the 1967 war — in the West Bank, Gaza and even East Jerusalem. But Palestinian President Yasser Arafat rejected the first offer and Abbas ignored the second, for the very same reason their predecessors spurned the 1947 Partition Plan. Each time, accepting a Palestinian State meant accepting the Jewish State, a concession the Palestinians were unwilling to make.That is the issue. Not settlements. Not boundaries. The Palestinians, like most of their fellow Arabs and like many Muslims elsewhere, have never acknowledged that the Jews came home to Israel because they have never acknowledged that the Jews ever had a national home there. And they don't even acknowledge that the Jews are a people. Do the Palestinians want peace? I have no doubt that they do. Just not with the Jewish state.The Palestinians Want Peace --- Just Not With a Jewish State

The next war against Israel is coming
Prophecy Sign: The Psalm 83 and Gog/Magog end-times wars.Does it seem like nearly everyday we have more bad-news headlines indicate war in the middle-east is imminent? And doesn't it seem that we have been warning of these conflicts for several months now and yet no wars? Well congratulations. Your prayers for the peace of Jerusalem and Israel are reaching God's ears. God does not wish war on this region, nor do we. It will likely result in many, many deaths. However, bible prophecy will be fulfilled. That is most assuredly true. We just don't know God's timeline as to when events will occur, or what our prayers do to forestall these events.Many writers in the mainstream media and many geo-political observers are seeing the events stack up in the Middle-East, (just read the article titled "Middle East teeters on the brink" for more on that). Israel is now in perhaps the most peril it has ever seen in it's existence as a nation since its national declaration in 1948. Nations through the Middle-East and North Africa are becoming more radicalized with a hatred towards Israel that is almost palpable. These nations wish nothing more than the outright destruction of Israel and its replacement with a new Arab state called Palestine, with Jerusalem as its capital and under Islamic rule. Good to know that God has other plans for the apple of his eye, and the land which belongs to him and him alone.I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them," says the LORD your God. Amos 9:15 NIVFor this is what the LORD Almighty says: "After he has honored me and has sent me against the nations that have plundered you--for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye. Zechariah 2:8 NIVWill Israel survive? That question hasn't really been asked since 1967. Then, a far weaker Israel was surrounded on all sides by Arab dictatorships that were equipped with sophisticated weapons from their nuclear patron, the Soviet Union. Now, things are worse for the Jewish state. Egyptian mobs just tried to storm the Israeli Embassy in Cairo and kill any Israelis they could get their hands on. Whatever Egyptian government emerges, it will be more Islamist than before - and may renounce the peace accords with Israel.The so-called Arab Spring was supposed to usher in Arab self-introspection about why intolerant strongmen keep sprouting up in the Mideast. Post revolutionary critics could freely examine self-inflicted Arab wounds, such as tribalism, religious intolerance, authoritarianism, endemic corruption, closed economies, and gender apartheid. But so far, "revolutionaries" sound a lot more like reactionaries. They are more often retreating to the tired conspiracies that the Israelis and Americans pushed onto innocent Arab publics homegrown corrupt madmen such as Bashar al-Assad, Moammar Gadhafi, and Hosni Mubarak.___________________________________________ The Middle East and North Africa are on the brink of risky sabre rattling that could erupt into armed conflict as the region's ten-month old wave of anti-government protests converges with stalled efforts to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.All in all, there is no lack of flashpoints and sufficient interest across the region in escalating tension. To prevent increased brinkmanship from getting out of hand, progress in Israel-Palestinian peace talks is a sine qua non. The Quartet’s initiative may be a first step but with doubts that its tight timetable can be achieved it may at best temporarily delay escalation of tension in the Middle East but unlikely to pull it back from the brink.The next war against Israel is comingMiddle East Teeters on the Brink

Is Turkey Going Rogue? Newly Islamist leadership threatens the entire Middle East.
Prophecy Sign: The emergence of Turkey as a major force in Middle-East affairs, and as a participant in the Gog/Magog war of Ezekiel
Who could have foreseen the radical shift that Turkey has made in its relations with Israel? Within the last couple of years, Turkey has moved from being a friend and ally of Israel to one that is becoming yet another enemy of the Jewish state. God gave warning that this would happen in the last days, as told to the Prophet Ezekiel. In Ezekiel’s prophecy the area of Turkey was called by a different name; That being Beth Togarmah.
Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you. Ezekiel 38:5-6 NIV
In a Middle East wracked by coups d’état and civil insurrections, the Republic of Turkey credibly offers itself as a model, thanks to its impressive economic growth, democratic system, political control of the military, and secular order. But, in reality, Turkey may be, along with Iran, the most dangerous state of the region. Count the reasons:An even worse opposition
Looming economic collapse
Escalating Kurdish problems.Looking for a fight with Israel
Stimulating an anti-Turkish faction
Asserting rights over Mediterranean energy reservesWhile Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu crows that Turkey is “right at the center of everything,” AKP bellicosity has soured his vaunted “zero-problems” with neighbors’ policy, turning this into wide-ranging hostility and even potential military confrontations (with Syria, Cyprus, and Israel). As economic troubles hit, a once-exemplary member of NATO may go further off track; watch for signs of Erdogan emulating his Venezuelan friend, Hugo Chávez. That’s why, along with Iranian nuclear weapons, I see a rogue Turkey as the region’s greatest threat.
___________________________________________Replying for the first time to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's almost daily tongue lashings of Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday termed Mr Erdogan's latest accusation - that Israel has killed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians -- "outrageous". Israel's outspoken Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, waded into the fray by declaring that Mr Erdogan's administration was "a radical Islamic extremist leadership that supports and develops terror".
