WHY WAS THERE AN EAST COAST EARTHQUAKE AND WHY IS HURRICANE IRENE HEADED ALSO TO THE EAST COAST??

Many Americans are perplexed and perhaps even frightened about the sudden and potentially disastrous events which are affecting our eastern seaboard this week.

Important to note is that in the book of Genesis, God warned all nations that they would be blessed or cursed, according to their treatment of the descendents of Abraham, Issac and Jacob (Israel):
God gave notice to all nations via the Abrahamic Covenant and God cannot lie.

"I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse;.." Genesis 12:31

Now, we will examine the multiple recent "curses" that the president of the United States is inflicting upon the children of Israel.

In May of 2011,
Obama incited the enemies of Israel with his speech which he said that they should go back to the pre 1967 borders.

For details regarding this incitement please refer to this previous blog entry:

Next, Obama somehow coaxed Prime Minister Netanyahu into entering new negotiations for a "peace plan".

At the beginnng of August 2011 it was reported that: "
President Barack Obama has wrung a big concession from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who has essentially agreed to accept the 1967 borders as a starting point for peace talks with the Palestinians."

There is no telling what amount of threats or cohersion was utilized by Obama to get this about face turn from Netanyahu. 

Previously, the prime minister had staunchly and defiantly declared to Obama "1967 borders 'Indefensible!'"

"Netanyahu told President Barack Obama he's willing to make some compromises to achieve peace in his nation, but that returning to Israel's 1967 borders is not an option."
http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/insideisrael/2011/May/Israel-US-Headed-for-Showdown-over-Border-Issue/ 
As the below linked article asserts :
 "The decision by Netanyahu represents a dramatic policy shift for the Israeli prime minister who was incensed in May when Obama publicly proposed that the 1967 borders be the basis for negotiations with the Palestinians"
As if that wasn't enough cursing of Israel, Obama next ordered Israel to apologize to Turkey regarding last year's flotilla incident. 

For details of the Turkish flotilla activists who tried to break the Gaza blockade, in order to antagonize Israel, please see this entry:


Just last week, Obama sent a veiled threat through Secretary of State Clinton to Israel.

This threat against Israel, in essence, was that if they did not obey and apologize to Turkey; that America would no longer support or protect Israel regarding next month's U.N. statehood bid by the Palestinians.
"if Israel does not comply with Clinton’s request to apologize to Turkey, the White House may suddenly find itself unable to continue building opposition to a unilateral Palestinian declaration of statehood at the UN next month."

Interestingly, Hurricane Irene started formation, around the coast of Africa, about the same exact time last week that this threat to no longer support Israel, was issued by America.
This hurricane is trekking toward America's east coast and it is feared that it may effect millions and be quite catastrophic. 
"Irene: Worst Effects on Northeast in 50 Years Possible"

  http://www.accuweather.com/blogs/news/story/54235/irene-could-bring-the-worst-no.asp

Noteworthy is the fact that Irene means "PEACE" which is exactly what Obama has been supposedly trying to do with his Mideast"PEACE plan" on Israel; by dividing her Covenant land and splitting God's Holy City of Jerusalem!

Just a few days ago the East Coast experienced a 5.8 earthquake that was strong enough that it was felt from Canada to Atlanta, Georgia.
It would seem that a quake felt such large distances apart should have caused massive devastation, injuries and casualties near the epicenter and other regions, especially in such populated areas.

However, there was only moderate structural damage in the many areas affected but
there were NO FATALITIES nor severe injuries even in the densely populated capital, Washington D.C. and other such populous areas.

The fact that there was no loss of life and few injuries is nothing short of miraculous and appears to evidence that this was a warning, much like the miraculous 7.0 Christchurch quake almost one year ago.

Please see entry regarding the miracles of the September 2010, Christchurch earthquake:

As mentioned, the miraculous 7.0 Christchurch quake was last September. 

This appears to have been a one year warning to CHRIST'S CHURCH to wake up, prepare themselves and bring in the Harvest; as many end times events seem to converging this September.

It is important to realize that since Obama's recent threat last week to NOT oppose the recognition of a Palestinian state in the UN, that attacks have begun on Israel's border with Egypt.

In addition, Israel has since been receiving many incoming rockets towards her civilian population from Gaza. 



In essence, Obama's curses have emboldened Israel's many enemies to come against her.

What Obama may not realize is that the formation of Irene also began around the same time the rocket attacks were initiated which followed his ultimatum to no longer support Israel in the U.N.

The timing of these related events is inexplicable and may be God's "curse for a curse" clause; coming upon America for Obama's actions against Israel.

This week's 5.8 quake appears to have been a warning to America because of (Obama's) cursing Israel with his PEACE plan to divide Jerusalem.

Hurricane Irene however may not be just a warning, but actually be God's righteous Judgment being wrought upon America, for our president's recent actions against the nation of Israel.
As mentioned, Irene means "peace" and may well symbolize the reason for the coming JUDGMENT that Hurricane Irene may be now be bringing: due to Obama's cursing Israel with his proposed "peace plan" which consists of giving away God's Covenant land.
It is no coincidence that Obama is currently trying to force Israel to give up EAST Jerusalem and right now, America's entire EAST coast is under severe threat by Hurricane Irene, just days after the 5.8 quake shook America's entire EAST coast.
God will not be mocked!!

"And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations THAT COME AGAINST JERUSALEM". Zechariah 12:9
 
Bible History shows that many times the innocent suffer because of the decisions of their evil leaders/kings. 
There may be many Americans who may suffer loss of life or property due to the anti-Israel stance that our elected leader, Obama has continiously held.
Perhaps, Hurricane Irene may be another warning.

However, it is very possible that America has already been warned by the miraculous 5.8 eastern seaboard quake, in which all lives were spared.

As Hurricane Irene churns towards America's East Coast, it is quite possible that we may be facing God's Judgment for the curses Obama has laid upon Israel.

We need to pray for the many in harm's way and ask the Lord to protect His chosen ones in His day of anger.

May many of the Christians slumbering comfortably in bed with the world finally start  to see God's prophetic Word is coming to pass and that it is time to wake up and be ready!



The hour is growing very late and so very,very many are not ready.

So many professing Christians are in a love affair with the world, having being entangled by the cares of the world.

These lukewarm, whose allegiance is to the world, will be left behind to face the soon coming Tribulation horrors.

They have unknowingly made themselves enemies of God by giving the material and temporal of this world priority over Him.


You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
James 4:4

THE MANY REASONS WHY THE LORD'S FEAST DAY OF ROSH HASAHANAH, REPRESENTS THE RAPTURE

The first thing that is imperative to realize is that God's feast days that He outlined in the Torah, represent God's plan of redemption, compromising both His first and second coming. 

 

 Note that there are seven Levitical  feast days outlined by God. The number seven represents completion and is God's perfect number.

 

Please see the following website for an elaboration on God's perfect number being the number, 7 :

http://www.angelfire.com/az/rainbowbridge/seven.html

Jesus has already fulfilled all the Spring Feast days with His first coming.

 

The upcoming Fall feast days represent the Rapture, His Second Coming and the Millennial period. 


The next feast day to be fulfilled would be the first Fall festival, Rosh Hashanah.

It is important to remember that the feast days are NOT just Jewish feast days but are God's feast days. In the book of Leviticus, God stressed that they are HIS feast days. 

Leviticus 23: 

1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the Lord, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies


So, the festival (feast) days belong to the Lord Himself. His followers, Jew and Gentile are to keep them. 

 

If the Church had been observing God's feast days then they would have realized that His return for His own would come one Rosh Hashanah/ Yom Teruah.

 

It is noteworthy to realize that Rosh Hashanah has several different titles, all referring to the same festival.

 

It is also known as Yom Teruah,or the Feast of Trumpets. These titles, as well as other names for this important festival, will be used interchangeably throughout this entry. 

 

Yom Teruah is the only one of God's feast days that starts on the sighting of the new moon. 

 

The Jewish idiom for God's feast day of Yom Teruah, is the feast "of which no man knows the day or the hour". 

 

Due to the dispersion of the Jewish people from their land in ancient days, the feast of the new moon/Yom Teruah could have been over before word of the sighting of the new moon in Jerusalem, spread to those who were dispersed in Babylon.

 

Therefore, Rosh Hashanah was celebrated as a two day festival but recognized as one long day. It is the only feast day that begins at the sighting of the new moon by two witnesses in Jerusalem. 

 

Because of this, no one could know for certain, beforehand, the day or hour of the beginning of the feast of Yom Teruah. 

 

Bear in mind that Yeshua (Jesus)was Jewish, speaking to His Jewish disciples when He used this well known Jewish idiom: 

 

Matt. 24: 36“ No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Just as in American culture, one would know that if someone informed them that they would visit them on "Turkey Day'" that they were indicating Thanksgiving. 

 

 In the same manner, the Scripture indicates that our Jewish Savior was referring to the well known 2 day feast of Yom Teruah/"on a day or hour that no man knows". This idiom is also indicates how this feast is representative of the Jewish Wedding. 

 

"Of that day or hour no man knows, but my Father only" is the expression used by a Jewish groom when asked when he will go and steal away his bride "like a thief in the night".

 

1 Thessalonians 5:2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

 

The Jewish groom (representing Jesus) goes away to prepare a place for his bride. When preparations on the bridal chamber are completed, the father of the groom (representing our Heavenly Father)tells his son it is time to fetch his bride.

 

The Feast of Trumpets is also known as the "wedding of the Messiah", and therefore, the expression about "not knowing the day or the hour" again is shown to refer to the Jewish wedding custom in relation to this feast.

 

Believers are the Bride of Christ for whom the Bridegroom, Yeshua, (Jesus) will one day come to take to His Father's House, at the time of the Rapture.

 

Therefore, it is clear that the Rapture must take place on a Feast of Trumpets/the wedding of the Messiah.

 

Remember Jesus's assurance to us, His Bride:

Matthew 14:1“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. 2There is more than enough room in my Father’s home.a If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?b 3When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.

 

Thus, it can easily be seen how this feast day represents the Rapture, as the Bride of Christ, we are caught up in the air to be with the Lord and to attend the marriage supper of the Lamb.

The title, Yom Teruah, means Day of Trumpets in Hebrew. There is the blowing of 100 shofar blasts towards the very end of the celebration of this feast. 
The one hundredth and last blast is called "THE LAST TRUMP".  

Just as Jesus was Jewish speaking to a Jewish audience so was Paul, as a Jew, relating the well known Jewish name for the last shofar blast blown ending the Feast of Trumpets/Yom Teruah:

 

1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

  
On The Feast of Trumpets, the challah, or special bread, is baked into the shape of a circle, representing a crown.
It is on this day that the coronation of the King is to occur and the King which we know to be Yeshua Ha Mashiach, is to be enthroned on this festival/feast day. The shofar is blown during the coronation of a king. 

 As such, it can be seen that one day, on a Yom Teruah, (which means the "day of blowing") that the shofars will be blown announcing the coronation of King Jesus!

 

 The thirty days prior to Yom Teruah are the month of Elul. Daily during this month, leading up to Rosh Hashanah, we are supposed to reflect on our lives because God's judgment is coming on Rosh Hashanah.

 

The message from Elul 1 to Rosh Hashanah is clear: Repent before Rosh Hashanah. Don’t wait until after Rosh Hashanah, or you will find yourself in the Days of Awe.

The Days of Awe are the seven days in between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement.

These 7 days represent the 7 year Tribulation period and The Day of Atonement represents the Second Coming of Jesus.




God is so loving and merciful that He gave us each year, 30 days to search our hearts and repent prior to what one year will be the Rapture on a Yom Teruah.



Another name for Rosh Hashanah is Yom HaDin which means Day of Judgment. The Jewish people believe that on Rosh Hashanah the"books” are opened in heaven. 

There are three books opened - that of life, for those whose works had been good; another of death, for those who had been thoroughly evil; and a third, intermediate.


Those classified as intermediate are those whose case will be decided on the Day of Atonement (seven days after Rosh Hoshanna on Yom Kippur).

The delay is granted for true repentance, which without, their names would be finally entered, into the book of of death. 



For those who truly repent and forgive others, their names will be entered into the book of Life.

The opening of the books on Rosh Hashanah signifies the judgment of mankind wherein the righteous will be taken in the Rapture and the intermediates and wicked will be left behind to face the 7 year Tribulation. 


The intermediates are those who Jesus called lukewarm and warned He would "vomit" them out of His mouth. 


Revelation 3:15-17
15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,[a] I will vomit you out of My mouth. 

Recognizing this, all professing Christians need to make sure their focus is on the things of God instead of the world:

Revelation 3: 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked


Rosh Hashanah is also known as Yom HaKeseh (Day of the Hiding or Hidden Day) which one may translate into the raptured Bride of Christ being "hidden" in Heaven during the cataclysmic events of the 7 year Tribulation (correlating with the 7 days of Awe).


One of the reasons for blowing the shofar is to proclaim the resurrection of the dead. Jewish thought is that the resurrection of the dead will take place on a Rosh Hashanah. 
Followers of Christ realize that the Rapture is indeed the day of the Resurrection of the dead in Christ. 

In addition, this feast  is also known as the Day of the Awakening Blast or The Day of the Awakening Shout.


1 Thes 4:15-18 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 

The blast of the shofar and the shout of the Lord will one day awaken those who now sleep.


With the dead in Christ, those who are alive and truly belong to the risen Lord, will be "caught up together with them into the clouds" into glorified bodies and everlasting life.

Also, the gates of Heaven are understood to be opened on Rosh Hashanah.  


As such, it is further evidence that the Rapture of the believers in Christ will take place on a Rosh Hashanah when the gates of Heaven are open, in which we may enter in.

The time of sorrows (birth pains) have been steadily growing stronger and closer together just as Jesus prophesied they would as the time of the end drew near.


 Matthew 24:6And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
 7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
 8All these are the beginning of sorrows.


Therefore, we can be able to recognize how close to the end we are on God's prophetic timeline. 

The hour is growing late. We are at the end of the age and our Lord is returning. 

May all realize that it is time to shift our focus from the things of the temporal to eternity.


May we all repent, forgive others and give the God of Heaven the priority that He deserves!
