I love the smell of doom in the morning: "The Seven Year Tribulation will begin on July 9, 2009." So says this website...

[link to www.cynet.com]



The Seven Year Tribulation will begin on July 9, 2009 with the signing of a "peace agreement" that will allow the Jewish people to re-establish daily sacrifice. When the Seven Year Tribulation begins, a substantial portion of Judeo-Christianity will not accept the fact that we are in the Tribulation. At that time, knowledge of the fact that the Tribulation has begun will be reserved for those who are led by the Spirit of God into a careful search and collating of the Word of God; and a belief in the inerrant accuracy of the Word of God. Following that "peace agreement", the wickedness of man, and the wickedness of the leaders of man will effect increased chaos and disorder; and even nature will become more disturbed than it is today.

At 11:11 AM, on December 21, 2012, the Mayan calendar denotes a completion of the thirteenth B'ak'tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar. Like the Mayan's, the Babylonians, or Chaldeans, who were also known as Magi studied the stars. The Magi at the time of Jesus Christ's birth were able to detect that the Great King of the Jewish people was going to be born, and the Magi followed the star to Jesus' place of birth. There are varied interpretations to the potential meaning of the Mayan calendar. It will be the precise time when the Antichrist invades Israel, subsequently captures Jerusalem, and kills the "Two Witnesses", simultaneous with a terrorist nuclear attack that destroys the United States of America.

The United States was a great facilitator in the creation of the State of Israel, and has been a great support in the continuation of the State of Israel. The "peace agreement" that allows the Jewish people to re-establish daily sacrifice will be a death sentence for the State of Israel. Because the Federal Government of the United States will know that the "peace agreement" is a death sentence for the State of Israel, and the U. S. Federal Government facilitates that agreement anyway, that "peace agreement" will also be a death sentence for the United States of America. The Antichrist will destroy the United States of America and invade Israel at the same time.

The last half of the Seven Year Tribulation is known as the Great Tribulation, and will begin when the Antichrist sets himself up in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and calls himself God.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 (NIV) Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Don't you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 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. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

The Antichrist setting himself up in the Temple as God and thereby effecting the Great Tribulation is a three and one-half year period that is referred to in several ways throughout the Scripture:

a. "forty-two months"

b. "a time, times, and half a time"

c. "the middle of that seven"

d. "1290 days"

Revelation 13:1-10 (NIV) And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast. 4 Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?" 5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months. 6 He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world. 9 He who has an ear, let him hear. 10 If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints.

Daniel 7:24-26 (NIV) The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. 25 He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time. 26 "'But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.

Daniel 8:9-25 (NIV) Out of one of them came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land. 10 It grew until it reached the host of the heavens, and it threw some of the starry host down to the earth and trampled on them. 11 It set itself up to be as great as the Prince of the host; it took away the daily sacrifice from him, and the place of his sanctuary was brought low. 12 Because of rebellion, the host of the saints and the daily sacrifice were given over to it. It prospered in everything it did, and truth was thrown to the ground. 13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, "How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled--the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, and the surrender of the sanctuary and of the host that will be trampled underfoot?" 14 He said to me, "It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated." 15 While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there before me stood one who looked like a man. 16 And I heard a man's voice from the Ulai calling, "Gabriel, tell this man the meaning of the vision." 17 As he came near the place where I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate. "Son of man," he said to me, "understand that the vision concerns the time of the end." 18 While he was speaking to me, I was in a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. Then he touched me and raised me to my feet. 19 He said: "I am going to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath, because the vision concerns the appointed time of the end. 20 The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia. 21 The shaggy goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first king. 22 The four horns that replaced the one that was broken off represent four kingdoms that will emerge from his nation but will not have the same power. 23 "In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a stern-faced king, a master of intrigue, will arise. 24 He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men and the holy people. 25 He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.

Daniel 9:27 (NIV) He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."

Daniel 11:36-45 (NIV) "The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place. 37 He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. 38 Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his fathers he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 39 He will attack the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will distribute the land at a price. 40 "At the time of the end the king of the South will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm out against him with chariots and cavalry and a great fleet of ships. He will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood. 41 He will also invade the Beautiful Land. Many countries will fall, but Edom, Moab and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand. 42 He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape. 43 He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt, with the Libyans and Nubians in submission. 44 But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many. 45 He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

(The "time of wrath" referenced above in Daniel 11:36 is the seven bowls of wrath spoken of in Revelation. In verse 41 "the Beautiful Land" is Israel, in verse 45 "the beautiful holy mountain" is Mount Moriah between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea.)

Daniel 12:1-11 (NIV) "At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people--everyone whose name is found written in the book--will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge." Then I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank. One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?" The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, "It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed." I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, "My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?" He replied, "Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand. "From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.

Matthew 24:15-21 (NIV) "So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel--let the reader understand-- 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now--and never to be equaled again.

Mark 13:14-20 (NIV) "When you see 'the abomination that causes desolation' standing where it does not belong--let the reader understand--then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the roof of his house go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now--and never to be equaled again. 20 If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them.

Luke 21:20 (NIV) "When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near.

Revelation 11:1-2 (NIV) I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshipers there. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.

The Antichrist will take control of the Jewish Temple, and on December 25, 2012, Christmas Day, the Antichrist will set himself up in the Jewish Temple and call himself god. In order to set himself up in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and call himself god, the Antichrist will have to invade the State of Israel and conquer Jerusalem. There are those people who say that the State of Israel will never fall. They are wrong.

The Word of God says that the Antichrist will invade Israel. Israel is the Beautiful Land.

Daniel 11:40d-41a (NIV) He will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood. He will also invade the Beautiful Land.

The Antichrist will capture Jerusalem.

Zechariah 14:2 (NIV) I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.

The Jewish people will flee east through the Mount of Olives to Petra, Jordan, where they will be taken care of by God for three and one-half years.

Zechariah 14:5a,b (NIV) You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah.

Matthew 24:15-21 (NIV) "So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel--let the reader understand--then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now--and never to be equaled again.

Revelation 12:6 (NIV) The woman fled into the desert to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.

Revelation 12:14 (NIV) The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the desert, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent's reach.

The Jewish people will live in exile in Petra, Jordan for three and one-half years. The Antichrist will never gain control of the country of Jordan. Edom, Moab, and Ammon is the country of Jordan.

Daniel 11:41 (NIV) He will also invade the Beautiful Land. Many countries will fall, but Edom, Moab and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand.

After the Antichrist invades Israel and captures Jerusalem, the land of Israel will be occupied by the Antichrist. With the people of Israel living in exile in Petra, Jordan, the State of Israel will no longer be functioning.

In the middle of the Seven Year Tribulation period, on December 25, 2012, Christmas Day, the Antichrist will set himself up in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and call himself God, "the abomination that causes desolation" (Matthew 24:15b NIV). When a man sets himself up in the Jewish Temple and calls himself God, that event has been so clearly stated and publicized; that the event will reveal to most of Judeo-Christianity that we are in the Tribulation. At that time - Mid-Tribulation, Judeo-Christianity as a whole will acknowledge that, "We really are in the Tribulation." Once Judeo-Christianity realizes that we really are in the Tribulation period, they will also realize that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is imminent. A cry will then go forth: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' (Matthew 25:6-10 NIV), but "the door was shut" for the Gentile.

Matthew 25:1-13 (NIV) "At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 "At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' 7 "Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.' 9 "'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.' 10 "But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. 11 "Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!' 12 "But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.' 13 "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

ten virgins - all repentant - virgin denotes a form of purity or abstinence, all of the virgins had repented of their sins.

lamps - symbolic of light (knowledge of God)

oil is symbolic of the Spirit of God. On the part of the unwise virgins, there was an apathetic indifference, and an unawareness that they were insufficient. The wise virgins went to extra trouble to insure that they had an abundant supply of oil (Spirit of God). The five foolish virgins had repented of their past sins, but they had never been filled with the Holy Spirit. The wise virgins had repented of their past sins, and following their repentance, they had continued to seek more of God until they were filled with His Holy Spirit.

All of the virgins were asleep in verse 5. It is the condition of Judeo-Christian Organized Religion and the Bride of Christ today.

At midnight-verse 6 In the middle of the darkest night, in the precise middle of the Tribulation, at the blackest point of the blackest night, the Antichrist will set himself up in the Temple as God, "the abomination that causes desolation" (Matthew 24:15b NIV). That will precipitate the cry "Here's the Bridegroom! Come out to meet Him." (Matthew 25:6b NIV)

There is a period of time from when the cry goes forth, until the Bridegroom arrives-verse 10.

The door was shut for those unwise virgins who had repented, but who had never been personally filled with the Spirit of God, and consequently were unprepared-verse 10. When the Antichrist sets himself up in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and calls himself god, their will never be another Gentile allowed into the Bride of Christ. The day of the Gentile will be forever closed. By that time, Mid-Tribulation, God will have brought every Gentile to the point of decision, and every Gentile will have made a decision to accept God through their faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ, or they will have rejected God. I have viewed this for years as an abrupt deadline to Gentiles. The Spirit of God showed me that it is a gradual decline, and that we are already in the advanced stages of that decline.

When the Antichrist sets himself up in the Jewish Temple and calls himself God, the full number of Gentiles who are going to accept salvation, will have accepted it; the hardening of the Jewish hearts will be over, and the Jewish people will turn back to God. The Jewish prayer at that time will be Psalm 79, and is printed below.

Psalm 79 (NIV) A psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble. 2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth. 3 They have poured out blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead. 4 We are objects of reproach to our neighbors, of scorn and derision to those around us. 5 How long, O LORD? Will you be angry forever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire? 6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not call on your name; 7 for they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his homeland. 8 Do not hold against us the sins of the fathers; may your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need. 9 Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name's sake. 10 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Before our eyes, make known among the nations that you avenge the outpoured blood of your servants. 11 May the groans of the prisoners come before you; by the strength of your arm preserve those condemned to die. 12 Pay back into the laps of our neighbors seven times the reproach they have hurled at you, O Lord. 13 Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will praise you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise.

Man has had 6,000 years to rule himself. When the Antichrist sets himself up in the Temple, it will be the devil who is ruling the earth. Metaphorically, the beginning of Summer Solstice is the beginning of Life. Metaphorically, the beginning of Winter Solstice is the beginning of Death. December 21, 2012 is the beginning of Winter Solstice. The King of Death will then rule over the earth for the next three and one-half years. God will then open the Seven Seals, Seven Trumpets, Seven Bowls of Wrath, and Seven Thunders. The first four Seals will effect the release of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The First Horseman of the Apocalypse is a rider on a white horse like Jesus, but this rider has only one crown. Jesus has many crowns. Jesus has already conquered Satan, death and hell. The rider on the white horse with one crown is the Antichrist. A man setting himself up in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and calling himself God will be the watershed event that begins the ride of the Antichrist and the False Prophet.

Revelation 6:1-8 (NIV) I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword. When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

The Second Horseman of the Apocalypse will effect extreme violence and death throughout the world. The Third Horseman of the Apocalypse will effect a worldwide famine. All of creation will be so distressed by the wickedness on the earth, that it will trigger droughts, floods, excessive hot and cold weather, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes, tidal waves, and untimely seasons. The contortion of nature will result in minimal food production if there is food production at all. The lack of food production will result in millions of people starving to death. The lack of food will necessitate food rationing, and laws against hoarding of food. The rationing of food will necessitate the "Mark of the Beast" in order to insure that no one gets more than their share of food and necessities. The Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse will result in massive amounts of death. The streams, rivers, and oceans will turn to blood, and the fish will die. Animals of all kinds will die. Animals will attack and kill men. All of the death will produce biological disease and plagues that will result in more deaths. The King of Death will rule over a kingdom of death. Death will be everywhere. During the reign of the King of Death, (3,000,000,000) three billion people, one half of the people who are alive at the beginning of the Great Tribulation will die.

The Body of Christ will not accept the "Mark of the Beast, and consequently will not be able to buy or sell. The Body of Christ will have to survive on whatever they have secretly stored and secured prior to that time. - GET READY!

MOST IMPORTANTLY PREPARE YOUR SOUL! GET YOUR WEDDING GARMENT READY!

THEN COMPLETELY ELIMINATE ALL DEBT - SELL UNNECESSARY ASSETS -DEGRADE YOUR LIFESTYLE TO A LIFESTYLE THAT YOU CAN SUSTAIN WITHOUT ASSISTANCE FOR SEVEN YEARS - DISCREETLY PROCURE AND LEARN TO LIVE ON WAREHOUSED GOODS, AND/OR FOOD THAT YOU GROW - THERE IS NO PRE OR MID-TRIBULATION "RAPTURE" THAT IS GOING TO TAKE YOU OUT OF HERE - IF YOU BELIEVE IN A PRE OR MID-TRIBULATION "RAPTURE" YOU HAVE BEEN DECEIVED.
