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!!!
