Left Behind & the antichrist carpathia and the ship Carpathia rescuing
the survivors of the Titanic sinking

Amazing! Further possible linking of the acceptance of the false Messiah
(antichrist) with the Titanic is shown below, which is a reprint of pages
84-89 from the book "Passion, Power & Glory - Watching for the Return
of the Prince of Peace":
The
Titanic - Man Exalting Himself
When
the ship the Titanic was built it was proclaimed as unsinkable.
Man in his pride had thought that He had conquered the forces of nature.
This is similar to the pride shown by the people who built the tower of Babel. However, pride goes back as the original sin of Lucifer
and it has been said that all sin can be traced back to the sin of pride.
The
Titanic is as much a supreme object lesson to us now about the sin of pride
as the tower of Babel was to earlier people.
But note the exact date and time the Titanic struck the iceberg and
had its side split open and began to sink. It
is recorded, rounding off to the nearest 5 minutes in the captains log, as
11:40 pm on April 14th, 1912. So, one
of the darkest moments in history happened on the EXACT same day, and the
EXACT same hour, and to the accuracy recorded, the EXACT same minute of THE
DARKEST MOMENT IN HISTORY, 11:39 PM, April 14th, 32 AD.
Also
note the following:

A
Tale of Three Titans
The
greatest maritime disaster of all time befell the greatest man-made behemoth
of all time - the White Star Line's tragically ill-fated Titanic.
The real-life tragedy was matched only by that of the Titan, a fictional
luxury liner that also went down with a terrible loss of life in April 1898,
fourteen years before the Titanic struck the iceberg that sent her to her
watery grave, also on an April evening.
The
Titan sailed only in the pages of Morgan Robertson's novel, aptly named Futility.
But the parallels between the two gigantic passenger ships stagger
the imagination. Robertson's prophetic Titan departed Southampton, England,
on her maiden voyage, as did the "unsinkable" Titanic herself.
Both ships were about the same length, 800 feet and 828½ feet
long, and of comparable tonnage - 70,000 and 66,000 tons respectively.
Each had three propellers and carried 3000 passengers apiece.
Each
ship was jammed to the gunwales with wealthy citizens.
Both struck an iceberg at the same spot and sank.
And both boats suffered terrible casualties because neither carried
enough lifeboats. In the case of the Titanic,
1513 passengers died, most from exposure in the frigid Atlantic.
One
of those who died aboard the Titanic was famous spiritualist and journalist
W.T. Stead, who had written his own short story foretelling a similar sinking
in 1892. But neither Futility nor Stead's story
could save the doomed Titanic. Another premonition,
however, did avoid tragedy. In April 1935, seaman William Reeves was standing
on the bow watch aboard the tramp steamer Titanian, bound for Canada from England. The similarities and memories of the Titanic tragedy preyed
upon his mind and sent a shiver up his spine. His boat's bow was cutting through the same still waters
the Titanic had. And as midnight, the hour of the great ocean liner's end,
approached, Reeves remembered that the date of the great ocean liner sank
- April 14, 1912 - was his own birthday.
Overwhelmed
by coincidence, Reeves called out, and the Titanian hove to, stopping just
short of a looming iceberg. Soon after, other
crystal mountains rose out of the night. The Titanian sat still, but safe, for nine days, until
the icebreakers from Newfoundland finally cut a swath through the deadly ice.
The
Unsinkable "Titanic" sank on April 14, 1912. The
2000 week generation from 6/7/1967 to 10/5/2005 is based biblically on "this
generation shall not pass away" counting from Jesus' proclamation right before
His death. From April 14, 32 AD to the prophesied
destruction of the temple the week following Av 9, 70 AD which comes out to
2000 weeks.
Also
32 AD is the same year that Sir Robert Anderson uses from the other direction
to find fulfillment of part of Daniel's 70 weeks in "The Coming Prince". Using,
a calendar program such as:
http://www.calendarhome.com/converter/
And
putting in April 14, 32 AD in the Gregorian Calendar section the program calculates
that this was indeed a Wednesday and the corresponding standardized Hebrew
back calculated calendar date is Nisan 16.
Knowing
that the current observed Hebrew Calendar is sometimes 1-2 days behind the
standardized Hebrew Calendar because of the actual sighting of the moon while
the day of the week count can never vary, that would mean that this Wednesday
was Nisan 14, the day Jesus was crucified.
So
the Titanic was buried in the sea on the same day, at the same time, (on the
Gregorian Calendar) that Jesus was buried, exactly 1880 years later.
Which was the same day and time (on the Jewish Calendar) that the death
angel visited Egypt
on Passover.
So
what does all this mean besides being to some an extraordinary set of coincidences? We have the Titanic, with obvious name recognition to
the Titans (the Nephilum) who many were destroyed in Noah's Flood, and this
ship was destroyed in a flood of water after being ripped open by an iceberg.
And
the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also
is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Genesis 6:3
God
proclaimed this in Noah's day. And 120 years later
fulfilled this statement by sending the flood that wiped out all but the eight
in the ark. (While this interpretation of scripture
is true, the Word of God can have more than one fulfillment. And it has been interesting to note that the maximum life
span of current man is also right at 120 years. However scripture also records that life spans during
the millenium will greatly increase.)
There
were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that,
when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children
to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Genesis 6:4
And
scripture says that this happened both before the flood and after the flood.
Hence giants like Goliath and Og.
And
the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was
of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
Joshua 12:4
Some
have argued that if somehow the offspring of Seth and Cain could produce grotesque
giants as is other people's interpretation of the scriptures, then giants
would not have been alive after the flood, having been killed off.
Which means that this interpretation would not stand up to the scrutiny
of other scriptures. Yet there could have been
non-degenerate genetic code in Noah's line that came out several generations
later, or all of Noah's line was non-degenerate and the sin of Ham degenerated
his line to where hybrid giants could still be formed. Or special non-degenerate Nazarites could have been born
through the grace of God.
Either
having more angels leave their first estate or having non-degenerate Nazarites
lay with normal degenerate humans during the time between the Rapture and
the Second Coming could also fulfill the Sign of Lot.
And
the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation,
he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of
the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them
in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange
flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal
fire. Jude 1:6-7
The
same Greek word translated "strange" is in several other passages translated
"another". So one is talking about "another flesh",
in other words, not human, alien. From the previous
sentence it would be logical to conclude that this is referring to angels
that left their first estate, their own habitation, where they lived.
Will more angels/aliens leave?
Will
some related event happen on a future April 14th? One
hundred years from 1912 would easily be the most straight forward date to
pick. That would put it at 2012. Remember
how we had come up with 9/23/2015 for the 2nd coming?
Well 1260 days (3 1/2 prophetic years) from April 14, 2012 is 9/26/2015,
just 3 days past this date. Put another way, 1260
days before 9/26/2015 is April 11, 2012. This
is the anniversary of Jesus' triumphal entry as Messiah into Jerusalem when He was rejected
by the chosen people. Will the false Messiah be
accepted by the people on 4/11/2012 at solar noon and then exactly 3 ½
days later on 4/14/2012 at solar midnight a disaster strikes down many people
as a result of pride?
June
7, 1967 - Jerusalem Unification Day minus 999 weeks is April 14, 1948.
If one starts counting at 1 from April 14, 1948, the 1000th
week (a generation) starts on June 7, 1967. Also, if one counts exactly one prophetic month from April
14, 1948, one arrives at May 14, 1948, birth date of the modern nation of
Israel.
