Catastrophe of the 21st Century

Isaiah 17

A Prophecy Against Damascus

17 A prophecy against Damascus:

“See, Damascus will no longer be a city
    but will become a heap of ruins.
² The cities of Aroer will be deserted
    and left to flocks, which will lie down,
    with no one to make them afraid.
³ The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
    and royal power from Damascus;
the remnant of Aram will be
    like the glory of the Israelites,”
declares the Lord Almighty.

The Telegraph:

At the foreign ministers G8 summit, William Hague warns that Syria is "on track to be the biggest humanitarian catastrophe of the 21st century". 

Hosting a meeting of the G8 foreign ministers in London, Mr Hague declared the outside world must mount a much stronger intervention to curtail the crisis.

Britain invited four leaders of the Syrian Opposition Coalition to be present on the sidelines of the meeting in an effort to increase support for the regime's opponents.

"I will be joining and convening some of those meetings to discuss the urgent humanitarian needs and the urgent need for a political and diplomatic breakthrough," said Mr Hague. "This is turning into the greatest humanitarian catastrophe of the 21st century so far and we cannot watch this happen."

UN General Assembly Votes in Favor of Palestinian Statehood

Curt Here...

Today the U.N. General Assembly voted to upgrade the status of the Palestinians to a nonmember observer state at the United Nations.  This essentially gives the Palestinians much more credibility in the international world and gains them access to U.N. agencies and international bodies, which they can now utilize to heap more international pressure on Israel.  However, this did not unilaterally declare a state of Palestine, but it has very craftily laid the groundwork for future prophetic events.  

This website along with many other prophecy websites have speculated for many years that a State of Palestine could be created via U.N. Mandate, which in turn could then be enforced militarily by the international community.  In my very humble opinion this could create exactly the scenario that the Prophet Joel wrote about and that Jesus spoke of in the books of Mathew and Luke.

Please consider.

Joel 3:1-2
1.  "For behold, in those days and at that time, When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

2.  I will gather all the nations And bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; And they have divided up My land.

Luke 21:20-22

20.	"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.
21.	"Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the city must leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city;
22.	because these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled.

Mathew 24:15-16

15.	"Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
16.	then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.

By giving the Palestinians observer status today, it has legitimized their claim for statehood on lands that Israel currently claims.  These areas are East Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, Judea and Samaria.  It is just a matter of time until the International Community decides to force Israel to give these lands to the Palestinians.

I personally don't know how quickly the above scenario could play out.  Will it be a few weeks, months or years? But it is clear that things are not as they should be and it is only a matter of time until our Savior returns to set things right.

Stay Tuned.

Curt


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JERUSALEM –The U.N. General Assembly voted Thursday in favor of Palestinian statehood, after the Palestinians asked it to recognize a non-member state of Palestine in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem, and the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

The resolution upgrading the Palestinians' status to a nonmember observer state at the United Nations was approved by a more than two-thirds majority of the 193-member world body -- a vote of 138-9, with 41 abstentions.

Real independence, however, remains an elusive dream until the Palestinians negotiate a peace deal with the Israelis, who warned that the General Assembly action will only delay a lasting solution. Israel still controls the West Bank, east Jerusalem and access to Gaza, and it accused the Palestinians of bypassing negotiations with the campaign to upgrade their U.N. status.

The United States immediately criticized the historic vote. "Today's unfortunate and counterproductive resolution places further obstacles in the path peace," U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice said.

And U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called the vote "unfortunate" and "counterproductive."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the speech by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to the General Assembly shortly before the vote "defamatory and venomous," saying it was "full of mendacious propaganda" against Israel.

Abbas had told the General Assembly that it was "being asked today to issue the birth certificate of Palestine." Abbas said the vote is the last chance to save the two-state solution.

After the vote, Netanyahu said the UN move violated past agreements between Israel and the Palestinians and that Israel would act accordingly, without elaborating what steps it might take.

Just before the vote, Israel's U.N. ambassador, Ron Prosor, warned the General Assembly that "the Palestinians are turning their backs on peace" and that the U.N. can't break the 4,000-year-old bond between the people of Israel and the land of Israel.

Obviously I'm not dogmatic about this, however in my humble opinion I see things lining up more with a revised Babylon rather than a revised Roman Empire, however could also be 1 in the same as I've listed...

Where I Belong

Curt Here,

With all that is going on in the world it is clear that things are just not right, and everyday the evidence mounts that we are getting closer to the season of His return.  With this realization, I have a mixture of feelings from excitement to sadness.  Excitement, because our redemption draws near and sadness for the mess this world has become and for those whom seem to be hopelessly lost.  We must continue the work of Christ while there is still light.

I have also come to the realization that this world is not my home and I long to be where I belong, with Christ my Savior.  I recently came across a song that really struck a cord with me.  I encourage you to listen and lift your head up as He is coming soon.

Curt

Feeling like a refugee
Like it don't belong to me
The colors flash across the sky

This air feels strange to me
Feeling like a tragedy
Take a deep breath and close my eyes
One last time

Storms on the wasteland
Dark clouds on the plains again
We were born into the fight

But I'm not sentimental
This skin and bones is a rental
And no one makes it out alive

Until I die I'll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

Feels like we're just waiting, waiting
While our hearts are just breaking, breaking
Feels like we're fighting against the tide

I wanna see the earth shaking
I wanna see a generation
Finally waking up inside

Until I die I'll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

In a world where I belong

This body's not my own
This world is not my own
But I can still hear the sound
Of my heart beating out
So let's go boys, play it loud

On the final day I die
I want to hold my head up high
I want to tell you that I tried
To live it like a song

And when I reach the other side
I want to look you in the eye
And know that I've arrived
In a world where I belong

Where I belong

I still believe we can live forever
You and I we begin forever now
Forever now
Forever
I still believe in us together
You and I we're here together now
Together now
Together now
Forever now
Forever now

What if America is the end times Babylon the Great?

The following is a summation using scriptural references listed below:  America & Babylon can be substituted for one another at any time in this Summary...

America is the most powerful nation in the world, the youngest and greatest Queen amongst all nations.  She is a lady of stature and the praise of the whole earth.  She is the richest nation in the world: All nations grow rich from her world trade system.  She is a huge nation with lands, cities, and great wealth timbered with buildings; a land of open fields quartered by mighty rivers measured out and populated through and throughout.  She is also polluted and a waste.  The nation is filled with warm water sea-ports, a coastal nation that sits upon many waters.  She is a nation filled with mingled people, diversity.  She is a singular nation founded upon out of the many, one.  She has a mother nation that remains in existence from its birth to its death.  The mother of America has the symbol of the lion.  The mother of America will rule over her daughter her entire life.  The mother of America will be in a state of major decline as the end nears.  America is called a lion’s whelp.  She has the symbol of the eagle with diverse colors, and builds her nest among the stars.  She is a treaty power and is an end-time great nation.  She was and is instrumental in the setting up of Israel and protecting in the Middle East, and is home of God’s people.  She is the center of a one world religious movement.

America’s merchants are considered great men of the earth.  They trade with all who have ships in the sea, year round.  America is rich in minerals: Her imports/exports are of the many resources, agriculture, cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock as well as spices.  She has fine flour & mill operations equipped with granaries and warehouses, farmers and harvesters of huge crops.  She is also the most industrial nation of the world.  Skilled craftsman produce the automobile, jewelry, gold, silver, marble, iron, and steel.  They have established corporations throughout the world.  She also leads in musicians & entertainment around the world. 

America is the hammer of the whole earth.  She has a huge space industry, equipped with aircraft and a highly sought after aviation program.  Her skies are filled with the sound of aircraft.  Military might, high-tech weapons and abilities.  She is a military arsenal and war machine.  Her military power rules the world; however she is a virgin nation as she has not been touched by war on her lands. 

Her people have the highest standard of living in the world.  They think they are God’s elect and eternal.  They are a nation that dwells carelessly before the Lord lounging in their security.  They will be a people who will not know their true identity “Mystery Babylon”.  They are a missionary nation for Jesus Christ, and home to multitudes of Jews who eventually leave.  The Christian leaders are considered strangers in the house of the Lord, and they lead the flock astray in prophecy and salvation.  The people of America fall into the deepest, darkest sins of all kinds.  They will be deeply involved in the occult and spiritualism as well as drugs.  America becomes the home of all antichrist religions in the world and becomes a nation of religious confusion.  They are a people consumed by their idols.  America’s people are proud and haughty and will not consider her end. 

America has higher education and learning, they are a great voice in world affairs.  Their world government is established throughout the world.  She is a democracy that is ruled by many counsels.  She is bogged down with deliberations, and cannot govern herself properly.  Her leaders use astrology, seers, and mystics for guidance.  America’s government system eventually breaks down.  She was born a Christian nation, but also labored in the occult from her inception.  She turns against her heritage, and destroys herself. 

America will have a major enemy to her north her enemy will lie on the opposite side of the world, over the poles.  The enemy will be a federation of nations.  Her enemy will be largely Muslim in make-up and will have inter-continental nuclear missile capabilities.  The enemy will be noted for its cruelty and will also have a huge aviation military machine.  The enemy will come into America un-noticed, and will fill her.  They will be brought in under the guise of peace.  In the end America’s borders will be cut off, leaving no way for escape.  Babylon will be destroyed by nuclear holocaust (Fire).

America falls to the occult, just before her end.  She turns upon her own people imprisoning and killing them by the millions.  She will turn totally antichrist at the end.  The king of Babylon is called Lucifer, the Antichrist.  The King will rule from the great city called Babylon.

The End Game

Curt Here...

I have posted within this post a presentation, that explains very quickly our current global financial situation.  The presenter then tries to explain what that means to our current system.  Thanks to Jackie for sending this to me and to the many others who are talking about this presentation.  I have no idea if the dire prediction detailed below will turn out to be true, but it is obvious that the global financial world is sick, very sick.  The EU is clearly farther along in this process and in my humble opinion will be the first to have major financial problems.  Can this present financial existence and reality continue on forever?  The scriptures clearly says no.  Are we near the "reset" as the presenter suggests below?  I don't know the answer to this, but we should be paying very close attention over the next several months.

My final questions that I believe we must ask ourselves are, is the fatal head wound that the beast receives in Revelation 13 financial?  Are we getting close to this prophecy being fulfilled?  Here is the scripture for your reference.

Revelation 13:3-4

3.	I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast;
4.	they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?"

Keep in mind that once the fatal wound is healed the Anti-Christ rises to power, begins his 42 month reign and the mark of the beast is implemented.  More scripture for your reference.

Revelation 13:5-9

5.	There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him.
6.	And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven.
7.	It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.
8.	All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain.
9.	If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

Revelation 13:16-18

16.	And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
17.	and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.
18.	Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

It would seem to me, that the healing of this fatal head wound allows the rise of the Anti-Christ and for the mark of the beast to be implemented soon after, which you must have to buy or sell.  So the idea of the fatal head wound being financially related seems to have some merit.  I would argue a lot of merit.

Here is the presentation, it is very short and easy to understand.  I don't post this to scare you, but to try and inform you.  Please consider and pray about the contents.

The End Game

Nigel Farage - There Will Be an Attempt to Install a Dictatorship

Curt Here...

Nigel Farage is a current Member of the European Parliament (MEP) and represents the UK.  Today he gave an astounding interview that reaffirms what many have been saying lately about the current financial and political chaos that is griping the EU.  Here are a couple of quotes from the interview...

“Frankly, the whole thing is falling apart.  And in the middle of all of this, Mrs Merkel came out and said, ‘The fiscal treaty cannot be renegotiated, and it must hold.’  So, I suppose, for once, we’ve got the Germans providing the humor, because this thing isn’t going to hold.”

“I now believe the euro and the whole euro system are now in, by far, the deepest crisis that we’ve seen.  We are in totally uncharted, chaotic territory.  In some ways the ball is very much on the German side of the court.  If they are unable to impose the discipline they thought this new Compact Treaty would give them, then maybe it’s the Germans that say, ‘Right, Greece you’ve got to leave.’  We know once Greece leaves, the domino's start to fall.

What these guys in the EU are going to try to do is, as this crisis gets worse and descends, there will be an attempt at some point in the next few months for them to set up something that will be very like a dictatorship.  I’m not sure now, with the public mood, that they will get away with it ... the similarities (to the 30s) are really rather chilling.”

To read the rest of the article go here.  To hear the entire interview, which I would definitely recommend go here.

Things are getting very interesting, so please stay tuned.
