     The Lord Jesus Christ said,
     "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away," Matthew 24:35.  
     A literal rendering of the Greek text reads,
     "The heaven and the earth shall pass away [pass by; go past; pass away], but My words in no wise shall pass away [pass by; go past; pass away].  Dr. Berry's Interlinear Greek-English New Testament.  
Introduction
     In my recent Bible studies entitled, "2017," and "The Ten Year Cycles of Change," I emphasized that 2017 is God's appointed year for the resurrection and rapture of all true New Covenant believers, and for the Tribulation period to begin.....and I gave the reasons why.......
     2017 is exactly 120 years from 1897, when Theodor Herzl convened the First Jewish Congress, which set in motion events leading up to the re-establishment of Israel as a nation.  
     2017 is exactly 100 years from 1917, when the Ottoman Turks were driven from the holy land, making it possible for the Jewish people to begin returning to their ancient homeland.
     2017 is exactly 70 years from 1947, when the United Nations voted to end the British Mandate, allowing the Jews to re-establish their nation the following year.  
     2017 is exactly 50 years from 1967, when the Six Day war was fought, restoring the city of Jerusalem and the west bank to the nation and people of Israel.  
     2017 is the year  5777 on the Jewish calendar.  "777" is the Bible number signifying "the exceeding fullness of the wrath of God," indicating that the Tribulation period will begin at some point during this present Jewish year.  
     Can all of these facts simply be "coincidence?"  Some think so!  So in this study I want to just add another "coincidence" to the list.......
Planet X
     I am sure that most of our readers have heard of Planet X, or "Nibiru," as some choose to call it.  Planet X is again back in the news "big time."
     Those readers who have computers should already know that the Internet is now filled with news about the coming and arrival of Planet X, and the destruction and death that it will cause when it comes flying past the Earth, exactly as predicted by the Lord Jesus Christ.  I have read many of the news reports, and even watched two or three YouTube videos on the subject made by reliable prophecy teachers.  
     I first heard of Planet X back in 2001.  Because I am well acquainted with the prophecies of God's Word, I recognized the significance of this rogue planet coming into our solar system of nine planets which revolve around the Sun.  I have kept up over the years with every shred of news I could find about Planet X, until today I have a file on this planet about four inches thick.  
     Some today still ridicule Planet X, claiming that it is just a figment of men's imagination.  However, I can assure our readers that Planet X is quite real.  I know this to be true, because I have seen it for myself.  Planet X was discovered by NASA's Infra Red Radio Telescope in 1981, far out in space beyond our solar system.  This was reported in two major national newspapers at the time of discovery.  I have copies of both news reports in my Planet X files.   Then in 1983 there was a top secret meeting of world astonomers and officials from many of the governments of the world.  It was agreed at that time that news about Planet X would be kept from the public, and even the existence of such a planet would be denied.  The astronomers even back then, knew that Planet X was headed into our solar system, and would cause all kinds of problems to all of the planets, and especially to the earth as it passes by.  Sure enough, it has, and is continuing to do so as it gets closer and closer to passing by the earth.  The "powers that be" who were running the world back then, did not want the news of Planet X coming to reach the public, for fear that it would upset the world economy.  In other words, the bottom line was money.  They wanted to keep the cash registers ringing right to the very last minute.  
     In spite of their agreement to keep info about Planet X from the public, there have been plenty of "leaks."  All the while, since 1983, top government officials and the ultra-rich, have been building huge underground bunkers of reinforced concrete, intending to enter them at  
whatever time they think they should, and ride out the passing of Planet X.  Such shelters are now located all over the earth, and all over America.  Those who commissioned the building of these bunkers intend to save their own lives, and the lives of their families,  and leave the public in the open to survive the best way they can.  There must be a special place in hell for such scumbag politicians.  
     Does this sound like a fantastic tale?  I could wish it were, but it isn't!   Planet X can now be seen by the naked eye at certain times of the day, if one knows where to look.  But it can be seen by anyone with a good pair of binoculars.  Look for it in the southwestern sky just before, or just after, Sundown.  It will appear as a dark blob in the sky, right near the top of the Sun.  
     In that same area of the sky at night is the Planet Venus.  It is extremely bright in the night sky, in fact, too bright.  According to the astronomers, the excessive brightness of Venus is being caused by the large amount of electro-magnetic energy which Venus is receiving from the approach of Planet X.
     Are our readers aware of the increase in earthquakes that has been occurring all over the earth over the past two years?  Earthquakes are still increasing in both frequency and intensity.  Why?  Because Planet X is approaching the earth, and is getting closer and closer with every passing day.  This rogue planet is going to come flying right past the earth.  It will not hit the earth, but it will come close enough that some people will die of heart failure as they see this giant planet passing by that is estimated to be some eight to ten times larger than the earth, Luke 21:25-26.  How do I know this to be so?  The Lord Jesus Christ Himself said so in Matthew 24:35.  Also check out 2 Peter 3:10 and Isaiah 13:7.
The "Destroyer"
       In fact, study carefully the entire 13th chapter of Isaiah.  Listen to the inspired words of our Lord in this chapter,
     "They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of His indignation, to destroy the whole land [erets...earth; world; Strong's No. 776], Isaiah 13:5.  
     This Scripture plainly states that "the weapons" the Lord is going to use during the coming "day of the Lord," will have been brought "from the end of heaven."  In other words, far out in space beyond our solar system.  That is exacly where Planet X was discovered in 1981, and it has taken thirty-six years since it was discovered, to arrive in our solar system, even though it has been moving through space at several thousand miles per hour.  Folks, "the destroyer"....... has arrived.......it is here! Isaiah 13:5-14.    
     Planet X has one of the largest electro-magnetic energy fields ever detected by astronomers, and it has a massive gravitational pull.  As it passes earth, it will cause massive earthquakes and tidal waves [tsunamis] all over the earth.  
     Add to this the fact that millions of asteroids and other space debris is being pulled behind Planet X in a million mile long tail.  There is no question that some of these asteroids and other space debris are going to fall upon the earth.  See Revelation 6:12-14 and 8:5-13.  
    Also there is no question that the Lord God is going to use this rogue planet to bring judgment upon all of Christ rejecting mankind on the earth, who are left behind after the resurrection and pre-tribulation rapture of New Covenant believers has occurred, Isaiah 13:11.   
     We who are true New Covenant believers will not be here to see Planet X when it comes flying past the earth.  The Pre-tribulation resurrection and rapture of God's people will remove us from "this present evil world," [Galatians 1:4] shortly before Planet X comes flying past the earth, wreaking destruction and death upon those left behind after the rapture has occurred.      
The "Coincidence"
     Planet X, as stated, was discovered by the astonomers in 1981.  To be exact, that was thirty-six years ago.  1981 + 36 = 2017.  Wow!  Now what is the significance of the number "36" in God's Word?  I'm so glad you asked!   
     The number, "36," is the Bible number which signifies, "enemy; adversary."   We believers who are serious about studying Bible prophecy believe that the prophesied anti-christ will be mankind's worst enemy during the coming Tribulation period.  Now the inspired Word says that the number assigned to the anti-christ will be "...Six hundred threescore and six [666], Revelation 13:18.  
     Now let's take all of the numbers from 1 through 36 and add them up; 1 +2 +3 +4 etc.  And what is the total?  666!  Add them up and see for yourself.  
     It has now been 36 years since Planet X was discovered in 1981, and
it is now visible in the sky during this present year of 2017.  This clearly indicates that the Tribulation period will begin, and the anti-christ will come on the world scene sometime during this present Jewish year of 5777 [2017]. It also indicates that the Lord Jesus is coming to resurrect and rapture His believing people to glory during this present year preceding the beginning of the Tribulation.  
      Are all of these "signs" pointing to 2017 as the year of the Lord's coming for His people just "coincidence?"  I would remind our readers again, that there is no word for "coincidence" in the Hebrew language.  The Jews believe Almighty God is in charge of all things.  And so do I!   
Conclusion
     Folks, it is time; yea, past time, to "...make your calling and election sure," 2 Peter 1:10-11.  Any reader of this study, who has even the slightest doubt about their salvation, should be seeking salvation, or the assurance of salvation, from the Lord RIGHT NOW.  Get the matter of your soul's salvation settled for time and eternity, and do it NOW!  Hurry!  There isn't much time left!   
     Read Acts 16:30-31.  Pay attention to the exact wording.  We are not saved by believing that a man named Jesus once lived upon the earth.  What the Scripture actually and literally says, is, "...Believe ON the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."  We believers serve a living Savior.   We are saved by believing "on" the risen Lord Jesus as our own personal Savior.  Now act upon these truths by faith.  May Father God grant you the grace of Christ to truly believe "on" and receive Christ as your personal Savior is my prayer.
