Dear beloved friends,
I know that some on our mailing list have wondered why they never receive a newsletter anymore, and some new subscribers are probably wondering why they have never received a newsletter. Folks, all I can tell you is that this past year has been one of severe trial and heartache. I have spent hundreds of hours at the bedside of my precious wife, Helen, taking care of her at home and at the hospital. Helen was in the hospital ten times from September, 2004 until this past month. I have no regrets about the time spent caring for her because I truly loved her, but it left me little time to work on a newsletter. f
Most of our readers who have computers know that my beloved wife was ushered by the angels into the presence of our Lord on February 23, 2006. My reason for mentioning this again is that some of our readers who do not have computers and who receive this newsletter by regular postal mail are not yet aware that Helen is with the Lord.
To say that I miss Helen is an understatement. We had a wonderful marriage, and were as close as two human beings could ever expect to be in this life. Our marriage was built on the sure foundation of Christ and His Word, and we shared the love of Christ with one another every day of our time together. To suddenly be deprived of her companionship is devastating, but I cling to the promise of God’s Word that His grace is sufficient, and to the “blessed hope” that all of God’s people will soon be reunited at the feet of Jesus in glory, Titus 2:11-15; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Praise the Lord!
I want to thank all those who responded to
the news of Helen’s homegoing and my
appeal. I received many cards and
letters (and phone calls) from all over the
I have been repeatedly asked what I am
going to do now that Helen is with the Lord? Folks, by the grace of God, I am going to
keep right on praying, studying, researching, preaching, writing, and sending
forth the Word of the Lord, and seeking to live for Him as long as He permits
me to draw the breath of life. I am pastoring a small church here in

Folks, there is so much on my heart that I would like to share, but I must close. We will soon see all of you dear brothers and sisters in Christ at the feet of Jesus in the air, and then we can spend eternity sharing with each other the grace and goodness of our Lord. May God richly bless you all is my prayer. In the love of Christ,
Pastor F. M. Riley

Please note: Several months ago I sent out the
following study to a number of folks on our email list. Because most of our readers
never received this article, and because of important new developments over the
past several months, I am again using this study as the feature article in this
issue of our newsletter. It
contains everything that was in the original article plus a few additions due
to recent developments and breaking news.
May the Lord be pleased to use it to enlighten and encourage His people,
and to warn the lost while they still have an opportunity to seek the Lord, John 3:16; Luke 21:36; Acts 16:31; Romans
10:8-13.

The
Prophetic Equation
“…..and fearful
sights and great signs shall there be from heaven,” Luke 21:11.
“And there shall be
signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth
distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Men’s hearts failing
them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the
earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken,” Luke 21:25-26.
“And I will show wonders in heaven
above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and
the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord
come,” Acts 2:19-20.
Planet X
Many readers have sent me emails and
letters, and have called me on the phone, inquiring about Planet X. When Planet X did not show up in May of 2003
as anticipated, many people dismissed the entire subject as just another
hoax. Some people, primarily those
espousing Preterist theology, wrote to scoff and mock and ridicule me for “falling for that Planet X hoax,” just as
God’s Word predicted they would, 2 Peter 3:3-6.
LC – March- April,
2006
Page 3
Folks, I suggest that the Preterists and others of like mind, reserve their laughter. In view of ever worsening conditions on earth, they may need a little humor just to face the future. Planet X is not a hoax. Planet X is still coming! I made this clear in our August, 2003 newsletter, in which we published the latest info on Planet X including news items, photos, and diagrams of its approach, and correlated its coming with many prophetic Scriptures. Copies of our August, 2003 newsletter are still available. Just write and request a copy.
I pointed out in that newsletter that Planet X is a huge planet, nearly six times larger than the earth. It is a very dark planet. It does not easily reflect light. For more than 400 years astronomers searched for it. They knew that “something” was out there in the darkness of space, because it perturbed the planets on the outer fringes of the solar system. But they couldn’t find it with their primitive telescopes. Because it is so “dark,” it was hidden in the vast darkness of space beyond the fringes of the solar system. But astronomers finally did find it. In 1981 its discovery was reported in major newspapers around the world. I have copies of some of the news articles documenting its discovery in my possession. Astronomers found Planet X using the latest Infrared Radio telescope technology, and published their findings for the whole world to read. Planet X is real!
A unique feature of Planet X is that it has the largest electromagnetic field of any planet in the solar system, exceeded only by that of the Sun. Because of its powerful electromagnetic field, Planet X functions like a gigantic “magnet” in space. As Planet X continues on its inbound journey into the solar system, astronomers are recording subtle [and some very dramatic] changes taking place on every planet in the solar system. Read Psalm 102:25-26. These changes are being caused by the super powerful electromagnetic field of Planet X. The closer Planet X comes, the more dramatic, apparent, and violent, these changes will become.
As Planet X approaches, just like any “magnet” will do, it is pushing comets, asteroids, rocks, dust, and all kinds of space debris ahead of it, as well as trailing similar material behind it. Our equation begins with [1] the approach of Planet X, and then proceeds to the second step in the equation…..
The Sun
Some of the space debris being pushed ahead of Planet X [much more trailing behind] is being pulled into the Sun, because of the superior electromagnetic field of the Sun. As space debris crashes into the Sun, violent explosions are occurring. It is interesting to note that most of these solar explosions are occurring on the far side of the Sun; the side facing away from the earth. This is because Planet X is approaching the inner solar system from behind the Sun. The explosions occur, then as the Sun revolves the agitated sites rotate around to face the earth, often still agitated and still exploding. When these solar explosions are large enough, they throw off particles of electromagnetic energy into space [CMEs]. Due to the approach of Planet X, solar explosions are right now at an all time high, far in excess of Sun cycles recorded by astronomers in the past. Therefore the amount of electromagnetic energy being thrown into space far exceeds that of past Sun cycles. This excess of electromagnetic energy in space brings us to the third step in our
LC – March-April, 2006

equation. [1]…The approach of Planet X = [2]…solar explosions on the Sun, which = [3] …heating of
The Core of the Earth
According to geologists, the core of the earth is a fiery mass of molten iron, and is highly magnetic. In other words, the core of the earth is a huge “magnet” which attracts and absorbs electromagnetic energy. This is the way the Lord designed the earth when He created it, and such is necessary to maintain life on earth. In the past the core of the earth absorbed just the right amount [whatever that is] of electromagnetic energy to maintain a suitable temperature for life on earth. But now…..
Due to the massive amount of solar explosions occurring on the Sun, the core of the earth is absorbing an amount of electromagnetic energy far in excess of the “normal” amount. This excess is causing the core of the earth to heat up far above its normal temperature range. I suggest that our readers study Deuteronomy 32:22 and Isaiah 5:14-16 very carefully. This overheating of earth’s core is causing all kinds of problems in and on the earth, which brings us to the fourth step in our equation. [1]...The approach of Planet X = [2]…solar explosions on the Sun, which = [3]…heating of the core of the earth, which =
Global Warming
The overheating of the core of the earth is the cause of what many scientists today are calling “Global Warming.” Indeed the globe is warming, but mankind is not causing it. The scientists and environmentalists “fruitcakes” are lying to the people about the root cause of global warming. It is the excessive heating of the core of the earth that is permeating the whole interior of the earth. This excessive heat is filtering outwards from the core and upwards to the surface of the earth. As it does, this in turn is causing all kinds of problems in and on the earth. And this brings us to step five in our equation. [1]…The approach of Planet X = [2]…solar explosions on the Sun, which = [3]…heating of the core of the earth, which = [4]…global warming, which = [5]…
Geological Upheaval
There are two facts which most people will readily acknowledge as being true.
1. Heat causes expansion. For example: When do you have the most problems with “sticking” doors? In the heat of summer, or in the cold of winter? Obviously, the answer is the heat of summer. In the heat of summer doors expand and “stick.” In the cold of winter those same doors shrink, allowing them to open and close without “sticking.” This is a simple illustration, and is an easily observed truth.
2. Tectonic plates. The surface of the earth consists of “plates” resting [floating] on the mantle of the earth. There are approximately twelve of these large tectonic plates that make up the earth’s surface. These include land both above
LC – March-April, 2006
Page 5
and beneath the seas and oceans. These “plates” are commonly referred to today as the “Continental Plates.”
With these two facts in mind, it should then be obvious that excessive heating of the core of the earth is causing the tectonic plates to expand. Expansion is always accompanied by movement. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what this means. The expansion and movement of the tectonic plates is causing earth tremors and earthquakes. The more the plates expand and move, the more earthquakes there are, the larger they are, and the faster they occur. Simple logic! Hold on! As the “redneck” says,
“You ain’t
seen nuthin’ yet!”
The Lord Jesus Christ,
nearly 2,000 years ago, knew these things were going to happen, and even
predicted when they would happen; right at the time this present
dispensation is drawing to a close. Read
again Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8, Luke 21:11, 21:25-28,
and “be not faithless, but
believing,” John 20:27. You
might also read Luke 21:36, John 3:16, 14:6, Acts 16:31, and
Romans 10:8-13.
For many years the subject of “global warming” has been hotly debated in scientific circles around the world. Today the evidences of “global warming” are so abundant that only a few “stubborn” radicals still deny it. For the most part, the debate has shifted away from whether “global warming” is actually occurring to the question of what is causing it. The globe is heating up!
Enter the environmentalists “wackos.” They claim that the sole cause of global warming is mankind. They tell us that global warming is caused by burning fossil fuels, depleting the forests, draining the wetlands, contaminating the air with the fumes of automobile exhausts, using hair spray and refrigerant, smoke from factories and refineries, the exploding population, blah, blah, blah. Their claim is that all of these things are heating up the atmosphere. Nothing could be further from the truth!
A truth that the environmentalists “fruitcakes” don’t want to hear is that there was far more pollution in the atmosphere two hundred years ago than there is today. Two hundred years ago all of humanity was using wood and coal for heating and cooking. Far more fluorocarbons were being injected into the atmosphere at that time than they are today. But strangely, there was no “global warming” back then. Rather, according to historians, two hundred years ago the earth was experiencing a cycle of bitter cold winters and cool summers. How do the environmentalists “nuts” explain this? Duh! But let’s not confront environmentalists with the truth. Truth only frustrates and angers them.
For instance, the environmentalists love to point to the melting of the polar icecaps and glaciers as “proof” that mankind is causing “global warming.” Oh really? Such a claim sounds good, and certainly appeals to simple minds. But there is a slight “flaw” in such a claim. Numerous scientific studies in the recent past have revealed that the icecaps and glaciers are melting from the bottom. If the atmosphere was really the main source of global warming, then the icecaps and glaciers should be melting from the top.
Even as I am writing this article, the news media is reporting that scientists are alarmed because of the massive quantities of water now trapped and pouring out from under the glaciers and icecaps. Scientists, just in the last two weeks [March], have publicly stated that there is so much water under the icecaps, that in the event of a major earthquake the

entire
icecap could slide off the land [Greenland;
Folks, the icecaps and glaciers are melting from the bottom. This clearly reveals that it is not the atmosphere that is the source of global warming. Rather, global warming is being caused by heat coming from the interior of the earth. Hello! Are we awake yet?
Due to “global warming” moving
the tectonic plates, more and larger earthquakes are occurring. Fault lines in the earth are widening, and
molten magma is pushing upwards from the bowels of the earth through the
widening faults. “Active”
volcanoes are becoming even more active [
Remember our equation? [1]…The approach of Planet X = [2]…solar explosions on the Sun, which = [3]…heating of the core of the earth, which = [4]…global warming, which = [5]…geological upheaval, which = [6]…
Weather Running Wild
As the tectonic plates expand and move, heated up from the interior of the earth, molten magma is pushing upwards between the plates beneath the oceans and seas. This is causing the ocean floor to raise in some places, and fall in others. This altering of the floor of the sea is changing ocean currents, and the hot magma is raising the temperature of the seas and oceans. Geologists and seismologists tell us that constant tremors and earthquakes are now occurring beneath the seas and oceans all over the earth. This is not only a danger to creatures that live in the sea, but it is a great danger to humanity living upon the face of the earth.
As ocean temperatures rise and ocean currents change, so do the weather systems and patterns. The weather we experience at any given time is determined almost solely by what is happening in the seas and oceans. Folks, the weather is going crazy. It has become so unpredictable that meteorologists all over the world are wringing their hands in despair. They can’t even make a reliable weather forecast for the next 24 hours. No, I’m not being critical or making this up. I have reports from such reliable sources as NOAA and USGS stating exactly what I am sharing with my readers. Meteorologists are confounded by what is occurring with the weather systems.

The Prophetic Equation.....[1] The approach of Planet X is causing [2] massive solar flares on the Sun which throw off electromagnetic energy into space, which is causing [3] the core of the earth to overheat, which is causing [4] global warming to occur, which is causing [5] geological upheaval, which is causing [6] total disruption of the weather systems on earth.
Did you hear it this time? Folks, these things are not happening at this specific time without any rhyme or reason. God’s Word declares, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven,” Ecclesiastes 3:1. See also Ecclesiastes 3:17 and 8:6. This Prophetic Equation is occurring today because the time for God to judge the wicked is staring humanity in the face. Mankind will now repent or perish!

God’s Weapons of War
Folks, whether wicked men believe it or
not, the Judeo-Christian Scriptures are indeed the inspired Word of Almighty
God, and the Lord Jesus Christ is exactly Who He claimed to be; “Immanuel” [God in
flesh], the only Savior and the only way of salvation, Isaiah 7:14; John 14:6; Acts 4:12. Men, women, boys, and girls will
repent of their sin and receive Christ as their personal Savior, or they will
perish eternally, Revelation 20:15.
This entire Prophetic Equation was predicted in the Scriptures centuries ago.
I call your attention to The Book of Job, a book in God’s Word that makes the “discoveries of modern science” look old and outdated. The Book of Job, it has been estimated by Bible scholars, was written nearly 4,000 years ago. In Job 38:22 the Lord asked Job, “Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?” The Lord, many centuries ago, was obviously looking forward to the time [Tribulation] when He would do battle against the wicked. The Lord pointed out to Job that His weapons of war during this yet future time will not be guns and bullets, missiles and bombs, tanks and planes, etc. All such are man-made “puny” devices when compared with the power of so-called “nature.” The greatest nuclear bomb man has ever invented pales into insignificance when compared with the mighty power of the creation that the Lord has at His disposal. There is more raw energy released in one severe thunderstorm than in a hundred nuclear bombs. And though puny little men are experimenting with “weather war” today, and trying to control the weather, it is Almighty God who has the final say about the weather.
“…..O Lord my
God, Thou art very great; …..Who maketh the
clouds His chariot: Who walketh upon the wings of the
wind,” Psalm 104:1-3.
The Psalmist wrote in
Psalm 148:7-8, “Praise the Lord from the
earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; stormy wind
fulfilling His Word;…”
The prophet Jeremiah was inspired to write of the Lord, “He hath made the earth by His power, He hath established the world by His wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by His discretion. When He uttereth His voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and He causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of His treasures,” Jeremiah 10:12-13.
In Nahum 1:3 it
is specifically stated, “The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will
not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord
hath His way in the whirlwind [hurricane] and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.”
Do these Scriptures give our readers any insight into WHO is in charge of the elements of “nature?” There are many other similar Scriptures in God’s Word.
Folks, the creation obeys its Creator. In Mark 4:39 the Scripture says of our Lord, “And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” Glory! Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! What a God we serve! What a Savior!

Back to Planet X
Centuries ago the Lord Jesus Christ said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away,” Matthew 24:35. See also Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33, and 2 Peter 3:10. Each of these statements is translated from the Greek word, “parerchomai.” This Greek word literally means, “to pass; go past; to be carried past; to be led past; to pass by; etc.” See Thayer’s Greek Lexicon, page 488, Strong’s No. 3928. Christ plainly stated in these passages that at some point in the future, one or more heavenly bodies would come flying past the earth. Likewise Peter used the same Greek word and pointed out the same truth in his epistle. When this happens it will cause great destruction in the solar system and upon the earth. This clash between the earth and the heavenly bodies is plainly predicted in God’s Word to occur in connection with the promised return of Christ Himself, Luke 21:25-28. Glory!
The point I am making here is that centuries
ago the Lord Jesus Christ Himself predicted the coming of Planet X. He even predicted, 2000 years in advance, the
time when Planet X [and other heavenly bodies] would come flying past the
earth. The time the Lord predicted was
to be during the “generation” that
would see “the fig tree.....shoot forth,”
Luke 21:29-33, and “putteth
forth leaves,” Matthew 24:32-35; Mark 13:28-31.
