Doves,
In the gospel of Luke he sheds great light (maybe to be literal light) on what we can expect to experience in the end times just prior to the rapture of the church.
He says.....
25 "And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
26 men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.
27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near."
Are these descriptions / events / circumstances happening presently? Yes.....all of them. I could write a 100 page essay on what's happening world wide that are fulfilling this prophecy.Then in verse 28 he says...... when you see these things begin to happen, look up, lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near.
Why does he instruct us to look up? Will there be or is there NOW something in the heavens above that will alert us to His imminent arrival? I believe there is.
Last week a solar observatory in a tiny town in New Mexico was abruptly closed down along with its Federal post office. The FBI swooped in to oversee the closure and disallowed the local police authorities any participation or any explanation as to the reason / reasons for the closure. Huge mystery that has not gone unnoticed by the media sources.
Here are three links to the story and the mystery that should peak your interest.
It appears that the solar observatory was closed down because of what the staff had witnessed while viewing the sun. Also there is the other video of the woman who seemingly captured multiple strange celestial objects near the sun accompanied by unknown large numbers of UFO's.
All this said..... can we link those sighting / happenings with what the bible may have prophesied concerning coming solar events? Yes...I believe so.
Concerning the possible celestial objects near or around the sun and end time prophecy.....
Malachi 4 refers to Jesus as ….”The Sun of Righteousness” that will bring healing in His wings to those who love him and will make ashes of those who are wicked. It is believed that Jesus will at some point darken the sky for several days worldwide and then re-light the world with the brightness of His being / spirit through His face looking at the earth just before the rapture. The NASA video (embedded in one of the videos above) seemingly gave us a heads up that something last week shrouded the sun. That event “setting humanity up” for the possibility that it may happen again with an unknown time frame and duration.
Also in Revelation 1:16 we see John the apostle describe Jesus' appearance (during the end time scenario) as having 7 stars in His right hand or objects that are accompanying Him.
It appears that when Jesus is about to break forth on the world stage that He takes the place of the sun and is accompanied by 7 celestial objects. Are the strange celestial objects shown on the woman's video those of which the bible speaks??
Then we have all the UFO type objects that also appear in the woman's video that are permeating the area near the sun. Is there a biblical explanation for those entities / objects? I believe so.
In Revelation 12 we see a battle......a battle that takes place in the heavens above between God's forces and Satan's forces. God's commander Michael and his angels defeat the dragon's / Satan's angels. And at that point, the bad angels and Satan are expelled from heaven / the heavens and are cast to the earth.
It appears from scripture that this war in heaven happens in the same time frame / season as the rapture of the church. We may be going up as they (the bad guys) are coming down.
So.....did the lady in the video by happenstance possibly capture a sequence of the great heavenly battle with her camera while taking pictures of the sun??? Pictures which seem to show large numbers of interacting UFO's.
Isaiah 18 is a rapture chapter and that chapter indicates to me that these events (including the rapture) are to happen in the summer. Will it be this summer? If so we only have a week from this writing left before fall arrives. That may indicate that the rapture is very near.
Again..... there are strong reasons why God wanted us to be watching, watching, watching and to be looking up because we will be exposed, be privy to seeing events above our heads.. Events that will greatly quicken our hearts and alert us to His soon arrival.
My viewpoint has been and continues to be that something will block the sun's light whether it's God or a celestial object. (Read Habakkuk 3) After several days of world wide darkness the face of Jesus will appear as the “banner “ spoken of in scripture. His face will illuminate the world and He will blow a great trumpet. The dead in Christ will then rise and at some point thereafter the alive in Christ will also rise to meet Him in the clouds all to be taken to a place of safety for the duration of the tribulation period.
I believe the happenings / details of the sixth seal will occur at this same transition period. What are those details?
a great worldwide earthquake
the sun will go dark (as described above)
the moon will appear the color of blood
the stars of heaven which may only be the size of a hot air balloon will fall to the earth with a great light show but will cause no damage...they will fall softly like over ripe figs.
The sky above (like the ceiling of a planetarium) will recede and roll up like a scroll. And I believe no stars will be viewed above earth during the tribulation period.
Every mountain and island will be moved from their places.
All members of society (the left behind) from kings to slaves will seek shelter from... the face of Him who sets on the throne because Jesus's face will take the place of the sun and will physically burn those who are not deeply sheltered. For the great day of His wrath will have come. Rev.6:12-17
Considering what is going on world wide and above our heads in the heavens (with a special focus on the Middle East) I can only surmise that we are on the very precipice of Jesus's return and the rapture of the church.
Seems like we have been at this intersection of the road many, many times before (and are weary) and always caught the red stop light at the intersection but this time seems different to me. Maybe this time the light will go green. Maybe this time that light will be “the light of the world”, The Sun / Son of Righteous. Guess we will soon find out.
…...”I will go and prepare a place for you”.......
Could that place be one or all of those 7 celestial objects spoken of in Revelation 1?? There must be a purpose for those objects /stars. Could they be our temporary home during the tribulation period?? (Just thinking out loud.......)
