Okay!  I know!   I stayed up late last night finishing this article.  Then I got up early this morning so that I could get it off before leaving for town to teach

the Wednesday morning Bible study.  I was stumbling around still half asleep and groping around to even see what I was doing.  I live alone with no one to help me or remind me, so I just plain forgot to attach the article before clicking on "send."   I am 78 years old and sometimes forget things.  If this is not a sufficient excuse for my sending nothing to those on my email address list this morning, then this grumpy old man is going to use it as an excuse anyway. Pray for me.  God bless you all!  In the love of Christ,

The Month of July, 2012

                                                                                                                                               By Pastor F. M. Riley

                                                                                                                                                            July 10, 2012

 

     “God that made the world, and all things therein…….hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation:  That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us:  For in Him we live, and move, and have our being;…….”  Acts 17:24-28.

 

     This should have been prepared for our readers before the month of July began, but if it had been then all of the information listed below would not have been available at that time.   Read it carefully, share it with others as the Lord leads, and “look up.” 

 

JULY, 2012

     1         2          3          4          5         6         7

    The 1^st day of July was also the 11^th day of Tammuz on the Jewish calendar.  Tammuz is the 4^th month on the Jewish calendar.  The entire week was one of extreme heat in the United States in most places, breaking hundreds of previous records.  In other places there was massive flooding and severe storms accompanied by many tornadoes and large damaging hail.  The 7^th of July was  the 17^th day of Tammuz on the Jewish calendar, which begins the 21 days of mourning for the Jews during which they fast and pray and mourn over the destruction of both of their former Jewish Temples.  This 21 day period extends from the 17^th day of Tammuz until the 9^th day of Av. 

       8        9       10      11       12       13       14

     Out of this week I would pick the 11^th and the 13^th as “possible” dates for important events to occur, not good but important.  The 11^th is the 21^st day of Tammuz and the 13^th is the 23^rd day of Tammuz.  Those of our readers who study Bible number know that all of these numbers signify judgment or evil.

   15     16       17      18       19       20        21

        The 17^th of July is also the 27^th day of Tammuz.  On this date Sheriff Joe Arapio of Arizona has announced that he will hold a public news release, claiming that he will produce evidence proving that Obama was not born in America, is not even an American citizen, was not “legally” qualified to even run for President in 2008, and is currently using forged documents.  Will this announced “news release” take place, or will “something happen” to prevent it?  Think about it!

     The 19th of July is also the 29^th day of Tammuz and is exactly 7 years to the day since Hurricane Katrina began forming in the Atlantic, crashing into New Orleans and the Gulf Coast five days later as one of the worst hurricane disasters in American history. 

     The 20^th of July also begins the 1^st day of the Av on the Jewish calendar.      

   22      23      24      25        26       27        28

     There is no question that this will be the most interesting week in July for all true believers who are watching the “signs” of the end-time.

     On the 26^th day of July the World Olympic games are scheduled to begin in London, England.  While the mainline news media has issued reports about this coming event, and the great amount of security in place to protect the athletes taking part, they have conspicuously failed to mention that the ancient gods of Olympus are being honored at the world Olympics this year, with special emphasis being placed on Tammuz, the god of fertility.  You can spell that S-E-X!  You can read about his effect on ancient Israel in Ezekiel 8.  Draw your own conclusions.

     On the 27^th day of July the United Nations International Gun Control Treaty is to be signed by the representatives of almost all the nations in the world, including the United States of America.  This Gun Control Treaty will ultimately lead to the seizure of the guns of every private citizen in America and other nations of the world, thereby totally disarming the public.  This will leave the public totally dependent upon the government for protection, and also at the mercy of their government.   Think about it! 

     The 28^th day of July is the Jewish Sabbath Day and also the 9^th day of Av on the Jewish calendar.  This will bring to an end the 21 days of mourning by the religious Jews, which began on the 17^th day of Tammuz.  The 9^th day of Av on the Jewish calendar is regarded as “Destruction Day” by the Jewish people because of all the terrible things that have happened to them on that exact day throughout their history.  I have neither the time nor the space to list all of the terrible tragedies that have come upon the Jewish people on this day throughout their history, but it is a day that certainly bears “watching” by all true believers. 

      In view of the present political and military situation in the Middle East, and the present economic situation of the whole world, I can’t personally think of a more fitting time for a red hot war to break out and the whole world economy to collapse than on this coming 9^th day of Av. 

     Also, I do not know the “date” when the Lord is coming to resurrect and rapture His New Covenant saints to glory, and I make no claim of having knowledge of such information.  However, in view of the whole world situation right now, I do believe there is a distinct “possibility” that the resurrection and rapture of all true believers could occur on this date.   From the day I am writing this, we only have 18 more days to find out!   If the Lord should come on this date, will you be ready to meet Him?   Think about it! 

    29     30     31

     What will occur in these last three days of July?  After what has already occurred in this month, and what is scheduled to yet occur in these next 18 days, makes the last three days of the month appear almost insignificant.   Please notice that I said “almost!”  We are living in the end-times prophesied in God’s inspired Word whether some want to believe it or not, and no day comes and goes without its own significance.   I have no idea what will happen on these last three days of July, and I really hope that after the 9^th day of Av I will not still be in this wicked world to find out.  Titus 2:11-15.
