Dear friends:

Because we are so near April, 2014, I want to remind you as to why that month may be prophetically important.  Some of this I told you about back in August 2013, but in red I am adding some important information.

For order, I will number the major points of interest:

1.  On July 30, 2013, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry gave Israel and the Palestinians nine months to establish a plan for their peace and security.  It is significant that he did not say eight months.  Not ten months.  But nine months. 

This so-called peace plan ultimatum will involve Israel dividing God's covenant land to give to the Palestinians.  Not good.

2.  The words "peace and safety' remind us of Thessalonians 5:3: "For when they say, 'Peace and safety (or security)!' then sudden destruction comes upon them..."  This verse speaks of the sudden destruction coming at the same time they are dividing the land and saying peace and safety, and when they (not we) shall not escape.  It implies that "we" shall escape this destruction. 

3.  Verse continued... "as labor pains upon a pregnant woman."  The words labor pains and pregnant woman in Thessalonians 5:3 indicate that the human gestation period of nine months is in play here, whenever they are saying "peace and security."

4.  Nine months from July 30, 2013 takes us to April 30, 2014, just after Passover, which is April 14-April 22.  Will something be birthed at the end of that nine-month period?  Or before?  The reason I say "before" is based on a Scripture I was reminded of this week:

“Before she was in labor, she gave birth; Before her pain came, She delivered a male child (Isaiah 66:7). 

(I believe this passage is talking about Jesus.  This male child was not full term but came early.  How early, I do not know,  If He comes before April 30, 2014, it could be during Passover, April 14-April 22.)

5.  Jesus said, "There will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity" (Luke 21:25). In 2014, the first of 4 blood moon total lunar eclipses occurs on Passover (First Feast Day), April 15, 2014, followed by a solar eclipse on April 29, 2014.  Since 1 AD, this tetrad has occurred on these holy days a total of 7 times.  In 2014-2015, it will be the 8th time.  It won't occur again for another 500 years.  Tetrads of four sequential lunar eclipses with no intervening partial lunar eclipses occurs 6 other times in this century, but this is the only time it occurs on the Jewish holy days of Passover and Feast of Tabernacles.  See http://www.jesusonmymind.com/services

Collectively, these above points seem significant.

Some of these points, such as Kerry's announcement and the gestation period,  were gleaned from a sermon by Pastor J.D. Faraq of Calvary Chapel Kaneohe in Hawaii, an excellent Bible prophecy teacher. He ties together Bible prophecy and contemporary events.  See http://www.rapturewatch.net/apps/videos/videos/show/18106574-mid-east-prophecy-update-august-4th-2013 -

(Reminder: Secretary of State John Kerry is a Vietnam War traitor representing a Muslim, anti-American President, who has been proven legally ineligible for the Presidency.  This is all a disaster in waiting.  How did all this happen?  But remember God is in control.   Keep looking up!)
