“When you SEE these things happening, KNOW that it is near at the very door . . . take HEED, WATCH AND PRAY; for you do NOT know when the time is” (Mark 13:29, 33).
Preparedness for the Ominous Year
– 2010 –
Dear Brethren,
We have now entered the very ominous year of 2010!
Are we prepared for the real beginning of the prophetic events of the end-time, as prophesied by Jesus Christ, this New Year (by the Roman Calendar) is projecting?
Further,
are we of the WISE who will understand what will be behind
the fall-out of terrible things taking place this New Year? Will we
understand by watching, taking heed, and
praying?
(Daniel 12:10; Luke 21:36)
The Curse from God on Israel, Here NOW!
There are the continued warnings from the news and from nature itself that makes it known that we can expect the curse from God to be coming down much harder on His people Israel this New Year due to turning their backs on God, removing Him, His laws, and teachings from their lives
A Prophetic Warning from Long Ago
“But
IF you do NOT obey Me,
and do not observe all these commandments, and IF you despise My
statutes, or IF your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do NOT
perform ALL MY commandments, BUT break MY covenant, I also will do
this to you: I will appoint TERROR
(from terrorists, etc.) over you
wasting disease and
fever which shall consume the eyes (coming)
and cause
sorrow of heart. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your
enemies shall eat it, I will set My face against you and you shall be
DEFEATED (Korea, Viet Nam, etc.)
by your enemies. Those who HATE you (Washington,
D.C.?) shall REIGN over
you, and you shall flee when no one chases you . . .”
(Leviticus 26:14-26).
Note the following writing from Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong that makes these prophetic Scriptures abundantly clear:
"Observe
the month of Abib, and keep the Passover unto the Eternal thy God.
Seven days (following Passover) shalt thou eat unleavened bread
seven weeks (thereafter) shalt thou number unto thee ... and t
hou
shalt keep THE FEAST OF WEEKS (Pentecost) ... and thou shalt REJOICE
before the Eternal thy God ... thou shalt observe the Feast of
Tabernacles seven days . . and thou shalt REJOICE in thy festival"
(Deuteronomy 16:1,3, 9-11, 13-14).
People today don't even know what the month "Abib" is. It is God's first month of the year, but it is not the same as the pagan January. It begins in the spring, when new life is budding forth in nature. But the nation has deserted God's calendar, and accepted the pagan calendar. The people look on God's holy days as "Jewish holidays," have forsaken them which God enjoined FOREVER, and taken up, instead, with the pagan holidays.
But AMERICANS ARE UNDER A CURSE, AND NOW HEADING RAPIDLY INTO NATIONAL DESTRUCTION!
Next,
chapter 18, comes instruction against fortune-telling astrology,
seances. Yet America and England are full of that today. In chapter
22:57 women are commanded not to wear clothing which pertains to men.
But it's the STYLE to disobey God. In chapter 23:19, "you
must never exact interest upon a loan from a fellow-Israelite (a
fellow American or Britisher today) ... From a foreigner you may
exact interest."
In chapter 24:14 is a command against employers underpaying
employees, or holding back their wages, and in 25:13, a command for
giving full measure, honest weight -- a full money's worth in any
transaction.
What Is Prophesied to Befall Us!
Go thru this entire Book of instruction, BINDING ACCORDING TO ITS SPIRIT AND INTENT ON US TODAY, and you'll see our people do EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE in every case!
Once
we see these
things thru the mind of God, the sins and ways and customs of our
people today are shocking -- APPALLING! That's how they appear to
God. Our people are insolent, stiff-necked, rebellious, going their
OWN way, and like dumb sheep going to the slaughter.
Finally, chapter 28, "IF ONLY you will listen carefully to what the Eternal your God orders, mindful to carry out all His commands which I enjoin upon you this day (40 years after Mt. Sinai covenant), then the Eternal your God will lift you HIGH ABOVE ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, and all these blessings shall come upon you. You shall be blessed ... foes who attack you the Eternal will rout before you; they may assail you all together, but they shall fly before you in all directions. The Eternal will command you to be blessed in your barn and in every enterprise to which you put your hand. IF you obey the orders of the Eternal your God AND LIVE HIS LIFE, so that when all nations on earth see you are owned by the Eternal, they may stand in awe of you. The Eternal will make you OVERFLOW WITH PROSPERITY ...
"BUT IF you will not listen to the voice of the Eternal God "All these curses shall come upon you and pursue you ... till you are destroyed ... these curses shall be a mark and portent UPON YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS FOR ALL TIME ... He will put AN IRON YOKE upon your neck till you are destroyed." (Compare with Isaiah 47:1-6, speaking of the DAUGHTER of ancient Babylon -- the European Fascists of TODAY putting a yoke on America's neck; and Jeremiah 30:7-8, where that yoke is finally broken and removed by Christ at His second coming.) "The Eternal will bring on you a nation from the far ends of the earth, swooping like a vulture
"The Eternal will inflict on you and your descendants [our people today] amazing plagues, severe plagues and prolonged, diseases sore and prolonged; He will bring back upon you the diseases of Egypt [cancer, heart-failure, T.B., etc.] ... You shall enjoy no ease ... the Eternal will give you an anxious mind suspense, you shall be afraid [fear and worry] by night and by day, unable to have any confidence in life ..." (Deuteronomy 28:1 to the 29th chapter).
"SUCH WERE THE TERMS OF THE COMPACT which the Eternal ordered Moses to draw up with the Israelites in the land of Moab, IN ADDITION TO the Compact which He had made with them at Horeb" (Deuteronomy 29:1).
There it is!
Because Abraham did obey God, and keep His commandments, God STOOD BOUND to bring all these blessings upon our people. In Leviticus 26 you will read how, through Moses, God promises these blessings for Israel of that day IF they would follow His orders and live HIS WAY. But if they rebelled and refused, then they were to be driven into national captivity, and the promised blessings withheld 2520 years (seven times). That happened. The 2520 years expired shortly after 1800 A.D.
ALL THESE GREAT NATIONAL BLESSINGS CAME TO BRITAIN AND AMERICA, beginning 1803 A.D. We have been privileged to enjoy them, not because we have kept God's ways, but because Abraham did (Genesis 26:5). But now God has fulfilled His promise to Abraham.
And now, from here, America is to be blessed, or cursed ACCORDING TO HER OWN DEEDS. And America today is breaking every order of God's compact, and already beginning to suffer EVERY CURSE listed as a penalty. GOD SAVE AMERICA! God help America to WAKE UP, and COME TO HER SENSES!
AMERICA TODAY STANDS DOOMED!
How YOU Personally May Escape
The destruction will come from the place we least expect. Not Russia, but from Germany, and a united Europe -- the Europe we are helping today.
If
you hear ministers DENYING this coming doom, assuring the people of
PEACE, telling them to do that which is right in their own eyes, and
that God's commands
are done away, just read Jeremiah 23:16-17, 31-32, and Ezekiel
34:1-10, and I John 2:4.
God help this nation to UNDERSTAND. But YOU -- you, personally, whose eyes God has opened -- if YOU will remain true to God, forsaking your own way and the ways and customs of the people, repenting, and seeking God thru Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, giving your very self to HIM, dedicating your life to Him, and to live by every word of the Bible -- You CAN DELIVER YOUR OWN SOUL FROM THE TRIBULATIONS AND THE PLAGUES TO COME!
Christ died to deliver you from the curse of the law! He paid the penalty of your sins in your stead. Now you can receive the BLESSINGS of the law if you continue in obedience!
"WATCH
ye therefore" -- yes, WATCH world events fulfill prophecy --
"and PRAY ALWAYS, that ye may be accounted worthy to ESCAPE ALL
THESE THINGS that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of
man" (Luke 21:36).
So warned AND PROMISED, Jesus Christ!”
The Year, 2010
We have now entered the year, 2010, the beginning of a new 19-year time cycle! And within this time frame we can expect this very year will be the real beginning of the curse that we have just read about from God’s late apostle!
This is based on what is being witnessed through what is being reported in the media by responsible leaders in their respective fields. Men who are voicing their dire predictions of terrible things expected to take place in this very year.
And based on what we also are seeing taking place in greater ways in this nation, in the cities in which we live, this New Year undoubtedly will be the harbinger of the prophetic end-time events to begin taking place inside the House of Joseph— as has never been seen or witnessed before in this once great nation!!! The other tribes of Israel and the world will also be adversely affected.
And before this time cycle is completed in 2029, those who live through these coming years will undoubtedly witness the Great Tribulation, Armageddon, and the return of Jesus Christ. The fulfillment of the prophecies pertaining to this age of 6,000 years of experiencing human sufferings under the bondage of Satan will have been completed!
The question once again needs to be asked in view of what is looming up before us— are we prepared for the real beginning of the prophetic events of the end-time, as prophesied by Jesus Christ, this New Year (by the Roman Calendar) is projecting?
Further, are we of the WISE who will understand what will be behind
the fall-out of terrible things taking place this New Year? Will we
understand by watching, taking heed, and
praying?
(Daniel 12:10; Luke 21:36)
Are we prepared mentally, and most of all, ‘Spiritually’— for whatever may happen and undoubtedly some big things will begin sometime this very year?
Are we vigilantly WATCHING the ongoing news of this nation and the world? Are we PRAYING ALWAYS!
How you may escape is made known by what we read above by Mr. Armstrong!
Jesus Christ through His Bible teachings in many places make known this is for real and our very salvation may be at stake!
Your
caring friend and servant in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior,
