"JOSEPH AND THE 7-YEAR FAMINE WEEK REVELATIONS--PART 3"

Hi Fellow Watchmen,
 
In Genesis 45, we have the story of Joseph (a type of Jesus), and the Famine Week (a type of the Final 7 Years).  In Genesis 41:53--54, we read, "Then the seven years of plenty, which were in the land of Egypt ended, and the SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE BEGAN TO COME.  There was not anything great and mighty that happened to usher in the Famine Week in Joseph's time.  There was no grand announcement.  Most people were totally unaware that their world had just began a brand new era. They had no idea of the trouble they were headed for. 
 
Let us compare this with the beginning of the 7-year Famine Week in our time.  First, the 7 years of plenty ended in the Fall of 2008, as the stock market plunged 777.77 points.  Very few people, even Christians were aware that they were about to enter a brand new era.  Very few Christians were aware of the real prophetic significance of the half-hour speech, which actually fulfilled Dan. 9:27, with Obama confirming, or strengthening, his platform, his promises, his covenant, with millions upon millions of people to CHANGE THE WORLD. 
 
To well over 99.99% of the world, it was still business as usual.  As a parallel to the Famine Week in the story of Joseph, the most complete type of Christ in the entire Bible, we could easily say that in the Fall of 2008, the SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE BEGAN TO COME.  Or shall we say the FINAL SEVEN YEARS BEGAN TO COME.  Again, there was no grand announcement.  There was no Rapture to start the Final 7 Years.  There was no Sudden Destruction to start the Final 7 Years.  There was no 7-year peace treaty with Israel and the Antichrist to start the Final 7 Years.  For the vast majority of the world, including most of the
Christian world, it was business as usual. 
 
There was no need for a Great and Mighty Deliverance during that 1st year of Joseph's Famine Week.  Things had not gotten bad enough yet.  As the months rolled on, the Scriptures tell us that the situation began to get worse and worse during Joseph's Famine Week.  The Scriptures plainly reveal to us when the situation was bad enough for the Great Deliverance. 
 
Genesis 45: 6--7 plainly tells us, "For these TWO YEARS the famine has been in the land and there are still FIVE YEARS in which there will be neither plowing, nor harvesting.  And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and SAVE YOUR LIVES BY A GREAT DELIVERANCE."  Further emphasizing the separation from the first two years of the famine, from the last five years of the famine, in verse 11 we read, "for there are STILL FIVE YEARS OF FAMINE"
 
Also in verse 1, we read that Joseph (Jesus) made himself know to his brethren, and to only his brethren.  Everyone else was made to separate from Jesus and his brethren.  Again, Joseph (Jesus) revealing himself to his brethren took place TWO YEARS INTO THE FAMINE WEEK, WITH STILL FIVE YEARS LEFT IN THE FAMINE WEEK.  Again, THE GREAT AND MIGHTY DELIVERANCE BY JOSEPH (JESUS), FOR HIS BRETHREN, WAS NOT NEEDED UNTIL TWO YEARS INTO THE FAMINE WEEK.
 
Let us examine the parallel type, which is the Final 7 Years, in which we find ourselves.  Can we agree that it is has gotten progressively worse since the Fall of 2008.  Let us just look at 2010, the 2nd year of the Famine Week, which is rapidly coming to a close (a climax???).  Starting with the Haiti earthquake in January, followed in rapid succession by other MAJOR earthquakes, the massive volcano in Iceland, causing untold problems in Europe and around the world, and many other natural disasters of a much greater magnitude than I can remember in my lifetime.
 
The economies of the world in this 2nd year of the Final 7 Years are teetering on the brink of collapse, just waiting for that first domino to fall, before the rest come tumbling down with it.  Is there any doubt that we are on the brink of a New World Order?  Is there any doubt that we are on the precipice of just one more major disaster that will tumble our entire world into a one-world government, with a one-world leader?  Is there any doubt that a brand new economic system, the Mark of the Beast system of Rev. 13, is just one more major disaster away?
 
Then there is the catastropic oil volcano in the Gulf area, just waiting to erupt in the coming weeks, or possibly months.  I am convinced that this is the BEGINNING of the fulfillment of the 2nd Trumpet judgment in Revelation 8:8--9.  This impending disaster of unparalled magnitude is a cataclysm, just waiting to explode.  Do not believe the optimistic reports that are coming our way now.  This is a judgment from the Lord Almighty and it will be much more devastating than what we have seen so far.
 
Volumes could be written about where our country and the entire world is headed under the leadership of the Antichrist, Barack Hussein Obama.  You can read about much of it in the Word of God.  I feel no need in this post to write anymore about where this anti-American, Muslim, anti-God, anti-life, usurper of the throne of Presidency of the U.S., anti-Christian, Communist in ideology, narcissicistic liar, deceiver, and evil man is taking this country and this world.  His record, and character, speaks for itself.
 
Then we have the whole world seemingly poised on the brink of World War III.  The situation in the Middle East is worsening by the day.  It is a powder keg, just waiting to explode.  How widespread will this next war, that is on our doorstep, be?  There seems to be a consensus that this time it will go nuclear, and that is an extremely scary situation, to say the least.  The Iran-Israel-United States crisis is deepening, and surely can not go on much longer.  With a literal madman, who feels that Allah has called him personally to try to usher in the coming of the Islamic Saviour, the Mahdi, by igniting a major war in the Middle East, in control of Iran. the fuse could be very short.  Israel is not suicidal.  They will NOT let Iran get the nuclear bomb.  Iran is extremely close to achieving that today. It is an extremely volatile situation.  Or will it be China, Pakistan, North Korea, or Russia that ignites World War III? 
 
The world is now a ticking time bomb, just waiting to explode.  The motto of the New World Order is OUT OF CHAOS WILL COME THE NEW WORLD ORDER.  There next move will almost certainly be THE BIG ONE.
Their Planned Sudden Destruction (World War III?) is very likely their next move.  I believe it is scheduled for the Fall of 2010.  I am looking for the October surprise, so that Obama will be able to call off the proposed November elections.  He has the legislative power to declare martial law and to postpone the elections for ANY purpose that he alone deems necessary.  This was set up after 9/11/01. 
 
How fascinating it is that it will also be October, when the TWO YEARS INTO THE FINAL 7 YEARS TAKES PLACE.  TWO PROPHETIC YEARS OF 360 DAYS EACH FROM THE START OF THE FINAL 7 YEARS ON OCT. 29, 2008, TAKES US TO OCT. 19, 2010.  IT IS MY PERSONAL OPINION THAT THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT BETWEEN OCT. 19, 2010, AND OCT. 30, 2010 ( BEFORE THE NOV. ELECTIONS, THE GREAT AND MIGHTY DELIVERANCE OF THE BRIDE OF CHRIST COULD TAKE PLACE. 
 
As we near the end of the 2nd Year of the Final 7 Years, is it fair to say that we are in need of A GREAT DELIVERANCE, JUST LIKE THE BRETHREN OF JOSEPH (JESUS) WERE IN NEED OF A GREAT A MIGHTY DELIVERANCE AT THE END OF THE 2ND YEAR OF THE FAMINE WEEK?  Add to all of the above impending disasters, and real disasters taking place around the world, the IMPENDING SUDDEN DESTRUCTION IN 1ST THESSALONIANS 5, AND YOU HAVE THE STAGE NOW BEING SET FOR OUR GREAT DELIVERANCE, THE RAPTURE OF THE BRIDE. 
 
The simultaneous Sudden Destruction is almost certain to be nuclear World War III.  You can read about in Revelation, describing the 2nd Seal Judgment, with the GREAT SWORD (NUCLEAR WEAPONS) directly, and indirectly, responsible, for the death of one-quarter of the population of the earth.  You can also read about it in Ezekiel 38 and 39, where Russia, Iran, and many other nations make their ill-fated attempt to destroy Israel.  Surely this is the Sudden Destruction of Ist Thessalonians 5.  Surely this is the snare, or the trap, that shall come upon the whole world, in Luke 21.  Surely this is the event that causes mens' hearts to fail them with fear.  Surely, this is the great game-changer, that causes the Rapture and the Sudden Destruction to happen at the very same time.
 
WE CONTINUE TO HAVE EVERY REASON TO EXPECT THE GREAT AND MIGHTY DELIVERANCE OF THE RAPTURE OF THE BRIDE TO TAKE PLACE TWO YEARS INTO THE FINAL 7 YEARS.  EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE RIGHT ON SCHEDULE FOR THE RAPTURE/SUDDEN DESTRUCTION TO TAKE PLACE IN THE FALL OF 2010!!!  WILL YOU BE PART OF THE BRIDE?  WILL YOU BE TAKING PART IN THE RAPTURE, OR THE SUDDEN DESTRUCTION, OR THE NUCLEAR AFTERMATH?  WHAT A SOBERING, YET CHALLENGING, THOUGHT FOR ALL OF US. 
 
The words to "The King is Coming", are partially forming in my mind right now.  Would someone on Five Doves be so gracious to print out the words to "The King is Coming", in a post.  The words are so very powerful and exciting, and will help raise our anticipation level even higher for what seems about to take place in the coming weeks.
 
Marilyn Agee believes the Rapture will be on Oct. 25th of this year, which is right in the middle of the time frame that I suggested as the most likely time frame in this post.  Whenever it is, there is still so much that we could accomplish in the short time we have left.  Let us all be about our Father's business as diligent watchmen for SOON the night cometh when no man can work.  For more exciting and relevant posts, visit my new website at:
