"Have we just experienced the 40--DAY WARNING SIGN from the Almighty?"


        HAVE WE JUST EXPERIENCED THE 40-                             DAY WARNING?
 
In Luke 11:29--30, Jesus says, "This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the SIGN OF JONAH, the prophet.  For as JONAH WAS A SIGN UNTO THE NINEVITES, SO SHALL ALSO THE SON OF MAN (JESUS) BE TO THIS GENERATION."
 
WHY was Jonah a sign unto the Ninevites?  WHAT was Jonah's sign to the Ninevites?  We read about it in Jonah 1:1--2, where the Lord says, "Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah...saying, Arise, go to Ninevah, that great city, AND CRY AGAINST IT; FOR THEIR
WICKEDNESS IS COME UP BEFORE ME."
 
So, from these two verses we learn WHY Jonah was a sign unto the city of Ninevah.  It is because Jonah was sent by God to WARN the people of that city that God was not pleased with their wickedness, and was about to JUDGE them severely for their sins.
 
In Jonah 3:3--4, the Lord says, "So Jonah arose and went unto Ninevah, according to the word of the Lord...And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, YET FORTY DAYS, AND NINEVAH SHALL BE OVERTHROWN."
 
So, from these two verses we learn WHAT the sign of Jonah was to the city of Ninevah.  THE SIGN OF JONAH TO A WICKED PEOPLE WAS A 40-DAY WARNING,  BEFORE GOD WOULD DESTROY THEIR CITY.
 
Reading from "Biblical Mathematics", by Ed Vallowe, "This number (40) has long been universally recognized as an important number, both on the account of the frequency of its occurrence, and the uniformity of its association with A PERIOD OF TRIAL, PROBATION, AND TESTINGS."  All Bible students can recall numerous times where this was the case with the number 40.
 
We know, from the Book of Matthew, that a partial fulfillment of the SIGN OF JONAH, was that Jesus was in the grave three days and three nights, just like Jonah was in the belly of the whale the same amount of time.
 
But in the Book of Luke, as we have just pointed out, Jesus specifically compares the SIGN OF JONAH, to the Ninevites, to the SIGN FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD.  I am unaware of any 40-day sign of coming judgment to any group of wicked people at the time of Jesus' 1st Coming.  Therefore, we must consider the very distinct possibility of the SIGN OF JONAH'S 40- DAY WARNING to Ninevah, to apply to the Sudden Destruction (and Rapture), at Jesus' 2nd Coming.
 
It is my contention that our world has not only just experienced a very real and probable 40--Day Warning, but two of them.  This can only mean that our world, and especially the United States, is probably headed for Sudden Destruction (and the Rapture), IN THE NEXT 40 DAYS!!!
 
I am not claiming to be a Prophet, like Jonah.  The very same evidence, or WARNING SIGNS, are available for all to see.  And both of these WARNING SIGNS appear to me like very probable 40--Day WARNING SIGNS.
 
In my next post, I will be showing you why SUPERSTORM SANDY IS MUCH, MUCH, MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than most watchers realize.  Beyond any shadow of doubt, the date of Superstorm Sandy has been MARKED BY GOD.  But today, I am only going to show you the 40--day aspect of this WARNING SIGN.
 
In my view, there is only one BIBLICAL time left, in 2012, for the Rapture/Sudden Destruction to take place, and that time is the Jewish Feast of Hanukkah.  From Hanukkah Eve, to the 7th Day of Hanukkah, in 2012, is Dec. 7th through Dec. 15th.  In another post, in the next few days, I will be showing you the extreme significance of this 8--day period, and the very high potential for this being our time of Sudden Destuction/Rapture.
 
In this post, however, I simply want to show you why our sin-filled wicked world MAY have just experienced, not just one, but two 40--day warnings.  If we add 40 days to the day of Superstorm Sandy, we arrive at the time of Dec. 7--8th, or Hanukkah Eve, the very start of this extremely crucial 8--day period of Hanukkah. 
 
Grant Jeffrey, who passed away earlier this year, says in his book, "Armageddon--Appointment with Destiny", that World War 3, the Battle of Gog and Magog, in Ezekiel 38--39, would happen on Hanukkah Eve (in some year), and he uses Scriptures to back up his claim.  I will be going in to great detail, in the next few days, about this topic.  How fascinating that 40 days from Hanukkah Eve, our country experiences the storm of a lifetime, Superstorm Sandy!!!  COULD THIS BE OUR 40-DAY WARNING BEFORE THE LORD ALLOWS THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR COUNTRY (AND THE RAPTURE)???
 
Lets briefly examine a 2nd possible 40--DAY WARNING.  As pointed out in my previous post, the people of the United States have just re-elected the Antichrist as
President.  We have just pronounced Judgment on ourselves.  But worse yet, I believe that God has just pronounced His Judgment on our country.
 
Has the Lord God Almighty just given us a 40-day warning, before the Sudden Destruction (of nuclear WW3?), just like He gave the wicked people of Ninevah a 40--DAY WARNING?  The Lord's plan for the fulfillment of the Judgments in the Book of Revelation has just kicked into high gear. 
 
The New World Order elite now will accelerate their plans for a one-world government.  The destruction of the United States has been their last obstacle, before they can fully implement their evil agenda.  With their Man of Destiny in power in the U.S. for another four years, there will be NO stopping Satan's plan, until the literal 2nd Coming of Christ.
 
The other real possible Biblical date for the Rapture and Sudden Destruction, that is left in 2012, is the 7th Day of Hanukkah, which is Dec. 15th.  EXACTLY 40 INCLUSIVE DAYS from the re-election of the Antichrist is this very same day, the 7th Day of Hanukkah.  Very few people fully comprehend the magnitude, and prophetic fulfillment, of what has just taken place, with the re-election of the Antichrist.  So, what our country has just experienced, in the past 10 days, is TWO VERY OMINOUS EVENTS, with possible 40--DAY WARNING implications.
 
These two possible 40-DAY WARNING events, lead us directly to the very Biblical date of Hanukkah Eve, Dec. 7--8th, and the 7th Day of Hanukkah, Dec. 15th.  In other words they bracket, or bookend, the eight days of very high Rapture/SD potential, from Hanukkah Eve to the 7th Day of Hanukkah.  There is much more to come on the Feast of Hanukkah, and its potential to be the time of the Rapture/SD.  And there is much more to come on the timing of Superstorm Sandy and how God has directly, and definitely, marked that day. 
 
So, has God given us one FORTY-DAY WARNING, THE SIGN OF JONAH, OR TWO FORTY-DAY WARNINGS?   I am not really sure.  Is it possible that the Lord has bracketed, or bookended, these two events, that lead us directly to Hanukkah Eve through the 7th Day of Hanukkah, to let us know that the Feast of Hanukkah will be the time of the Rapture/SD??? 
 
Many believe that we cannot know the EXACT day and hour.  Maybe this 8--day period is as close as the Lord wants to reveal it to us.  Or, maybe a 7--DAY WARNING, like Noah received, is forthcoming on the Biblical date of Hanukkah Eve, that would lead us to the 7th Day of Hanukkah, for the actual fulfillment of the Rapture/SD.   After reading my next few posts, many of you will not be thinking these possible 40-DAY WARNINGS are just coincidental.  I believe there is a very, very good chance that one, or both, of them, are real 40-DAY WARNINGS, DIRECTLY FROM GOD!
 
In my next post, I will also be discussing how Superstorm Sandy could also be referring us directly to the 1st worldwide judgment on mankind.  Yes, the Judgment of the Great Flood, in Noah's day, and the timing of it, may be directly related to the timing of Superstorm Sandy, and the 2nd worldwide Judgment on mankind, the coming Sudden Destruction and the Rapture. 
 
Maranatha!  What extremely exciting days we are living in!!!
