The Holy Bible Is The
Immutable Living Word Of The Eternal God.
The Only Bible we Recommend Is
The King James / A.V. Bible.
Here’s the reason, shocking but enlightening truth: The
Bible Is Used To Deceive
We should all be
sighing and crying about the sad state of our world.
Leviticus 26:17
And I will set my
face against you, and ye
shall be slain before your enemies:
they that hate you shall reign over
you; and ye shall
flee when none pursueth you.
Ezekiel 20:26 ……
that I might make them desolate, to the
end that they might know that I am
the LORD.
A Message From Peter
James
UNDERSTANDING TIME
What is happening with your time?
Have you noticed
that you can no longer work out what has happened to your time?
Before you know what has happened
it is once again the end of the week.
This is a complete update of an original
document which was written several years ago.
The document is called ‘Shortened Days’.
Forget all the foolishness that the
educated, but foolish evolutionists expound.
The reality is that there is a great Creator
God.
See Our Video: There is A God In Heaven
As we are
creatures of time and space, we believe that both of these things have always
existed.
The truth is that they did not.
Time and space are creations of the Eternal God.
Genesis
1:1 ¶ In the beginning God created
the heaven and the earth.
This verse means precisely what it says.
There was a time when there was nothing,
absolutely nothing of the physical universe existed.
Then at a moment in time called the beginning, God
created the entire physical universe.
The
Creator God, inhabits eternity, not time and space.
He inhabits an entirely different dimension.
Of course we find it almost impossible to grasp such a concept.
Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high
and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity,
whose name is Holy; I dwell in the
high and holy place,
with him also that is of a contrite
and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble,
and to revive the heart of the contrite
ones.
Rhema: While
I God is in the “high and Holy place”,
I at the same time ” with him (the
humble)
also
to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite
ones”.
This
is what the Holy Spirit does for anyone who is humble enough to obey.
From Genesis Chapter 1 verse 2 onwards, we are given the details of
the recreation of the earth.
We should not assume that at the
time of Genesis
1:1, that time, as we
know it existed.
We should not assume that there was such a thing as night, because there was not.
1
John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard
of him, and declare unto you,
(a)
that God is
light,
(b) and in him is no darkness at all.
Rhema: This is why when you possess the
Holy Spirit, you feel at peace and full of Light and understanding.
You find it easy to understand “spiritual
knowledge”.
The next verse in Genesis tells us that everything was in chaos, and confusion.
The earth was now covered with water,
and everything was obscured by darkness.
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was
without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face
of the deep. And the Spirit of God
moved upon the face of the waters.
God is a God of perfection, and He
commands us to be perfect.
Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in
heaven is perfect.
This is what our calling is all about.
Moving towards perfection can only
take place by repentance,
and the involvement of the Eternal God.
It is He, who perfects us.
Humanly it is impossible, but we
can, and have to keep changing until the day we die.
Perfection is as a result of having the perfect God dwelling inside of us.
Examine in detail any aspect of
the creation, in the minutest detail,
and you will see absolute perfection.
One of my relatives has seen a smear on a slide of a drop of sea water,
under a very high powered microscope.
She saw all sorts of life as seen in bigger forms in the sea.
There were shells and sea horses etc.
I thought I would try to get a
photo of this, but the cost is prohibitive.
Something happened to cause the perfect
original creation of Genesis Chapter 1 verse 1,
to be destroyed, because that is
not how it was created.
The following verse states that the earth
was not created empty, waste and confusion
as it
states it is in Genesis Chapter verse 1:2.
It is
very clear from this, that the original creation, ‘In the beginning’, was perfect.
Isaiah 45:18
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens;
God himself that formed the earth
and made it; he hath established it,
he created it not in vain he formed it to be inhabited:
I am the LORD; and there
is none else.
We are not told what brought about
this destruction,
but we can be sure that it was sin in one
form or another.
The result of sin is destruction and death, individually, nationally,
internationally,
and universally.
There are various ideas about what
happened, but we will not address this point at this time,
as it is not relevant to our
message.
It is worth noting that Order out of
Chaos is a completely Satanic concept, and originates
from disregarding Genesis Chapter 1 verse
1, and proposing that Genesis Chapter 1 verse 2
is the starting point of creation, then
continuing with the “re-creation”,
which is mentioned in the following
verses.
This
is typical of most Bible scholars who take verses out of context, and make
doctrines out of them.
Rhema: It
is well known that “Order Out of Chaos” is on the American $1 Bill in Latin,
with
the capstone of the “Evil Eye” above the pyramid, the symbol of the Illuminati,
Freemason
Luciferians. Wherever the forces of Satan’s-generated darkness goes, there is confusion, war and death.
The
cycle is a perfect creation, followed by,
Order
and Chaos caused by sin, followed by,
A
perfect recreation, followed by,
Order
and Chaos caused by sin.
This
is precisely where we are today, with the addition that we are almost at the
end of this cycle
of Order
and Chaos, which will ultimately lead to the extinction of man, if the time is
not cut short.
Here are some details of the
creation of time.
From Genesis Chapter 1 verse 3, we then get the details of the
recreation of the earth,
and the organising of our ‘ local’
solar system.
Genesis
3:3 ¶ And God said, Let there be light: and there
was light.
The very first thing that we
are told is that the Eternal God commanded light to appear.
With us, as lost human beings, the very first thing that we
need is light,
to remove
the spiritual darkness,
which has
us walking around as blind men, in the middle of the day.
Isaiah 59:10 We grope
for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes:
we
stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.
This light had nothing at all to do
with the sun.
Neither was light created at this point, but it is rather that light was
shone into the darkness,
in order to dispel it.
The Eternal God allowed His Light
to shine on the shapeless,
chaotic, ruined and water covered
earth.
1 John 1:5
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto
you,
that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
We are then introduced to the very
first thing which we are told God created.
It was day and night.
Genesis 1: 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided
the light from the darkness.
Genesis 1: 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
And the evening and the morning were
the first day.
I believe that this verse hides the fact that some tremendous activity
was taking place
in order for day and night to be established.
The earth was not the beautiful sphere, which we have seen in pictures from
space.
Genesis 1:2 told us that it was without
a shape, therefore like any comet, it would have been tumbling
around in space, like a drunken
man.
At the
same time we are told that it was entirely covered with water.
As if that
was not enough, it was also encased in an envelope of ‘blackness’.
I believe that in order for day
and night to exist, the earth had to be stabilized,
and, put the right way up.
Although still covered with water, its general shape, into the world
which we now know,
would have had to be organized,
and regulated.
The tumbling of the shapeless mass
would have had to be replaced by an orderly,
and very precise rotation, with one
revolution every 24 hours, which defines a day.
We are told precisely what comprises a
day, and what comprises a night.
We are told the order of a day.
The night precedes the day.
Christ confirmed the length of day and
night.
John 11:9
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day?
If any man walk in the day, he
stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
Rhema: “The light of this world” is the
light produced by the sun, not spiritual Light which IS God,
although God created the sun.
1 John 1:5 This then is the
message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light,
and in him is no darkness at all.
This means that we have completely
changed how days are calculated.
This is very important.
It is not a small thing.
I believe that the Eternal God was quite excited about His creation of Day and Night,
so much so that He marked off each day,
with the statement,
And the evening and the morning
were the first day.
to,
And the evening and the morning were the
sixth day.
All of this was something new in the
earth.
Time was something new,
and totally beyond our control.
It is not subject to clocks, and
calendars.
However man plays games with clocks and
calendars, time marches on relentlessly.
Man, under Satan’s direction, can
change the days to start in the middle of the night.
He
can play around with daylight saving time, as much as he likes.
He can say that the Sabbath, the very
word means seventh, is not really the seventh, but the first.
It does not affect the universe in the
slightest.
Time continues marching on precisely as
it was created to do,
and there is absolutely nothing that
man can do about it.
Rhema:The above is a very important understanding.
For whatever Man has done in disobedience, by changing
times and day,
My eternal Plan goes on regardless. At some
point so Man will understand this when
he hits the “buffers”, and nearly
annihilates himself.
As we said the Eternal God is a God of order.
Having made day and night, on the third
day,
He separated some water into clouds in
what He called “Heaven”,
and the rest remained covering the
land.
He then commanded all the water to be in
one place, and He called them ”Seas” and
He then commanded the land to be in one
mass, and He called the land “Earth”.
This means that there were no continents
as we see today,
neither oceans, a very different world.
With the soil still damp, He established
all the plant life on the ‘Earth’.
Now we come to another incredible day,
the fourth day.
Genesis 1:14 ¶ And God said,
Let
there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the
night;
1) and let them be for
signs,
2) and for seasons,
3) and for days,
4) and years:
The
Sun, Moon, and Stars were all already in existence,
as
we were told in Genesis Chapter 1 verse 1.
What
we are told in this verse is that in this re-creation, they were given a
specific purpose.
I
can tell you that it is possible for stars to shine in the middle of the day,
right when the sun
is
at its strongest. I have seen the planet Venus brightly shining in the tropics,
with
the full sun at 2.00pm.
The
stars will still be there in the kingdom of God, but the canvas against which
they will be seen
will
not be a black one.
All
the lights in the heavens were there to be signs to us, not as astrologers
promote, but rather
as
the Eternal God declares. Unfortunately we have lost the meanings of these
signs, but I am sure
that
they would have had to do with His Eternal plan for mankind.
1) Signs
We
are in a time when there are, and will increasingly be, signs in the heavens.
Luke 21:11 And great
earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences;
and
fearful
sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Luke 21:25 And there
shall be
signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars;
and
upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves
roaring;
For
the past few years, and right now there is activity on the sun that is a cause
for concern.
In our
heavens we see ‘Chemtrails,’ which are poisoning us.
We
have satellites and space stations that are not up there for our benefit,
regardless
of what you might think.
We
have all sorts of missiles raining death from the heavens on innocent people.
We
see ourselves running to and fro in massive jet aircraft,
as
well as on the land and sea of course.
Daniel
12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and
seal the book,
even to the time of the end: many shall run to and
fro, and knowledge
shall be increased.
We
have horrific hurricanes and tornados rampaging from the skies through the
entire earth.
Jeremiah 23:19
Behold, a whirlwind
of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind:
it
shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
I
am sure that there will be other horrific events taking place in the skies.
2) Seasons
This
is of great importance to us.
There
are two aspects to the seasons.
The first aspect is that there are the climatic
seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
This
is an overview of what I believe took place on the fourth day, not necessarily
in the order
in
which it is written.
This
would have required that the earth now would be tilted at precisely the correct
angle
necessary
for it to carry out its ordained function.
This
figure, from the vertical is around 23 ½ degrees.
Humanly
this might well not be accurate but God did it precisely.
The
earth would have to be put at exactly the number of miles from the sun to make
life
not
only possible, but sustainable. Humanly we say approximately 93 million miles.
The
earth would be sent on its circuit around the sun taking approximately 364 ¼
days, making a year.
The
sun would govern the length of each day
The
moon would govern the length of each month.
All
these things would decide the seasons, and other climatic necessities.
The
fourth day was a very busy day indeed.
The second aspect which is overlooked is that there
are three Feast seasons.
Satan
has cleverly hidden these by all sorts of pagan festivities world wide.
It
is for this reason that we speak strongly against Christmas, Easter, Halloween
and any other
pagan
festival that you might care to name.
Note: the word festival does not
appear in the entire King James bible, but Feast does.
See
our document: Easter,
which
explains that the resurrection was not on a Sunday morning.
The
following verse gives the sequence of the feast seasons of the Eternal.
Deuteronomy 16:16
Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God
in
the place which he shall choose; in
1) the feast of unleavened bread, and
in (Spring Feast season)
2) the feast of weeks, and in (Between Spring and Autumn
Feast seasons)
3) the feast of tabernacles: (Autumn Feast
season)
and
they shall not appear before the LORD empty:
Is
it not incredible that even if you are not a Christian you know about Satan’s
Easter,
Christmas,
and Halloween?
The
vast majority of people on planet earth, including ‘Christians’,
have
absolutely no clue about these feast seasons of the Eternal God.
Let
us be very clear about this.
It is also true that on the Seventh day,
the Eternal God Blessed the seventh day and sanctified it,
but the fourth day defined all the days.
The
Eternal God is so meticulous in what He does.
The
fourth day was used to define time as stated above.
The
fourth commandment was used to tell us about a period of time established on
the fourth day.
It
should also be noted that the weekly Sabbath is referred to as a feast.
It is therefore utter nonsense to say that these are ‘Jewish’ days.
There was not even a man in sight, much less a Jew.
It
should also be noted that all these days are referred to by the Eternal God as
‘the feasts of the LORD’, and ‘My Feasts’.
As
they do not belong to us in the first place, we hardly have authority to change
them,
but
not that we can change them anyway. We have no access to them.
We
can rebel against them, but how can we stop the seasons taking place?
Leviticus 23:1 ¶ And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus 23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto
them,
Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be
holy convocations,
even these are my feasts.
Leviticus 23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the
sabbath of rest,
an holy convocation;
ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all
your dwellings.
The
details of these days are found in Leviticus 23, but that is a separate subject.
The
following verses then give further details of how the heavenly bodies were set
up
to
rule over the night and day and to give us light.
Genesis 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give
light upon the earth:
and
it was so.
Genesis 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day,
and
the lesser light to rule the night:
he
made the stars
also.
Genesis 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon
the earth,
Genesis 1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night,
and
to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Time is a temporary thing.
It will not last forever.
In the ultimate Kingdom of God, there
will be no time.
Man will move from time to eternity.
There will be no night.
There will be no sun.
Revelation 21:25
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day:
or there shall be no night there.
Revelation
21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the
moon, to shine in it:
for the glory of God did lighten it, and
the Lamb is the light thereof.
This understanding of time is important,
because
time was the proof that Christ was who He
was.
There was no other proof.
Matthew 12:39 But he answered and said unto them,
An evil and adulterous generation
seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it,
but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights
in the whale’s belly;
so shall the Son of man be three days and three
nights in the heart of the earth.
If this did not happen we
do not have a saviour.
Rhema: This proves the false assumptions that to-day is Easter.
How can you calculated three 12 hour
days and three 12 hours nights,
which
is how God has timed Day and night, between Friday Sunset and Sunday early
morning,
by which time Jesus had already left the
tomb? It is mathematically impossible!
We have shown that time was a specific
creation.
Where are we today?
Anyone
who has even two working brain cells is fully aware that something is terribly
wrong.
Even the
controlled media is saying this, and saying that even in ‘nature’ something is
wrong.
They are
absolutely right.
Something
is very wrong.
We are
in what the bible calls the last days.
This
period of time is referred to as the tribulation, which is escalating every
day.
The
climax of the Tribulation will last three and one half years.
This
will be a period of time like nothing else that has ever happened to the earth
since
the flood in the days of Noah.
We need
to understand that what will happen in these days, is a direct result of man’s
rebellion,
against
the most High God. This time
immediately precedes the return of Christ to replace
the
kingdoms of this earth with His Kingdom.
Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded;
and there were great voices in heaven, saying,
The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his
Christ;
and
he shall reign for ever and ever.
We are
told that the time will be so catastrophic that unless these days were
literally shortened
that no
flesh would be saved alive. This means that absolutely all life would cease to
exist.
Even the
controlled news media, and certainly on the Internet we are being told
how very
precarious our lives are on several fronts, and all at the same time.
It no
longer is just a matter of nuclear war.
We are
constantly being bombarded with life destroying activities around the clock
via,
electronic
bombardment from HAARP, Satellites, Mobile phone towers, Power pylons,
lead and
other toxic substances, petrol, household cleaners, toxic food, toxic water,
toxic
drugs, Chemtrails, and an enormous list of substances and situations designed
to kill us.
This
will all allow our adversary to carry out his desire to kill us.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and
the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not
in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his
own: for he is a liar, and
the father of it.
1
Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the
devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may devour:
As the
tribulation nears its climax, the Eternal God has to intervene, before all life
is destroyed.
But
things are so desperate that even before Christ intervenes,
the days
have to be literally shortened.
Matthew
24:21 For then shall be great
tribulation,
such as
was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Matthew
24:22 And
except those days should be shortened,
there
should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be
shortened.
The
climax of the tribulation is 3.1/2 years.
This is
the period of time that the ‘two witnesses’ are giving their witness, in
Jerusalem,
against Anti-Christ and the false prophet.
This three and a half
years refers to the catastrophic climax of the ongoing tribulation
which we are all already experiencing now.
Here are
the details of the many plagues.
You will
see why these tribulation days have to be shortened for any life to survive.
We
need to be very clear that the reason for the tribulation is because of our
complete
rebellion
against the Most High God.
(A) Revelation
8:7
The first
angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled
with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part
of trees was
burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
(B) Revelation 8:8 And the second angel
sounded,
and as it were a great mountain burning with fire
was cast into
the sea: (An object like, for example, a comet from space impacting the earth)
and the third part of the sea became blood;
Revelation 8:9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea,
and had life, died; and the
third part of the ships were destroyed.
(C) Revelation 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and
there fell
a great star from
heaven, burning as it were a lamp,
and it fell upon
the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
(A second
object like, for example, a comet from space impacting the earth)
Revelation 8:11 And the name
of the star is called Wormwood:
and the third part of the waters became wormwood;
and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
(D) Revelation
8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the
third part
of
the sun was smitten, and the
third part of the moon,
and the
third part of the stars; so as the third part of them
was
darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the
night likewise.
(E) Revelation
9:1 ¶ And the fifth angel sounded, and I
saw a star
fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of
the bottomless pit.
Revelation 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke
out
of the
pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and
the
air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
Revelation
9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the
earth:
and unto
them was given power, as the scorpions of the
earth have power.
Revelation
9:4 And it was commanded them that
they should not hurt
the grass
of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree;
but only
those men which have not the seal of God in their
foreheads.
Revelation
9:5 And to them it was given that they
should not kill them,
but that they
should be tormented five months:
and their torment was as
the torment of a scorpion, when he strikes a man.
Revelation 9:6 And in those days shall men
seek death, and shall not find it;
and shall desire to die, and
death shall flee from them.
(F) Revelation
9:13 ¶ And the sixth angel sounded,
and I heard a voice from the four
horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Revelation 9:14 Saying to the
sixth angel which had the trumpet,
Loose the four angels which are
bound in the great river Euphrates.
Revelation 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for
an hour, and a day, and a
month, and a year, for to
slay the third part of men.
Revelation 9:18 By these three was the
third part of men killed, by the fire,
and by the smoke, and by
the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Revelation 11:3 And I
will give power unto my two witnesses,
and they shall prophesy a
thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Revelation 11:6 These have power to shut
heaven, that it rain not in the
days
of their prophecy: and have power
over waters to turn them
to blood, and to
smite the earth with all plagues, as often as
they will.
Revelation 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple
saying to the seven angels, Go
your ways,
and pour out the
vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
(G) Revelation 16:2
And the first (angel) went, and poured out his vial
upon the earth;
and there
fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark
of the beast,
and upon them which worshipped
his image.
(H) Revelation 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon
the sea; and it became
as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died
in the sea.
(I) Revelation 16:4 And the third angel poured
out his vial upon
the rivers and
fountains of waters; and they became blood.
(J) Revelation 16:8 ¶ And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon
the sun; and power was
given unto him to scorch men with fire.
Revelation 16:9 And men were scorched with
great heat, and blasphemed
the name of God, which hath power
over these plagues:
and they repented not to give him
glory.
(K) Revelation 16:10 And the fifth angel poured
out his vial upon the seat of the beast;
and his
kingdom was full of darkness;
and they
gnawed their tongues for pain,
Revelation 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains
and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Revelation 16:18 And there were voices,
and thunders, and lightnings;
and there was a great
earthquake, such as was not since men
were upon the earth, so mighty an
earthquake, and so great.
Revelation 16:19 And the great city was divided into three
parts, and the cities
of the nations fell: and great
Babylon came in remembrance
before God, to give unto her the
cup of the wine of the fierceness
of his wrath.
Revelation 16:20 And every island fled
away, and the mountains were not found.
Revelation 16:21 And there fell upon men a
great hail out of heaven,
every stone about the
weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God
because of the plague of the
hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
1a) a talent
of silver weighed about 100 pounds (45 kg)
1b) a talent of
gold, 200 pounds (91 kg)
Some of
us have seen that hail the size of a golf ball causes havoc.
Hail of
either 100 or 200lb would pulverise buildings and anything else in its way.
It is
hard to imagine such huge chunks of ice falling as rain.
These events
have shown us a period unlike anything else
in the
experience of the earth, a total catastrophic nightmare.
It is in
order to save life that the days are going to be shortened.
Many find
it hard to understand the many symbols in Revelation,
however, this
subject is very clear and easy to understand.
Instead
of it being a mind exercise, take a moment to imagine that
you are
going through these events.
There is
the stench of death everywhere.
Because
of fornication the people will have their nakedness exposed.
Because
of the severity of the famine people will greedily eat their own children.
It is all
there in the scriptures if you care to look.
We will all truly want the earth
to stop so that we could get off.
That will not be possible.
As we saw the pain will be so
great that people will want to die,
but they will be unable to do so.
These dreadful upcoming events
are one reason for this Website.
The main purpose is to turn
people to God, and to wake them up.
It is our intention to blow the trumpet,
and sound the alarm,
and to show us our present true
state, and not the one portrayed
by the controlled media, and the
churches, whose ministers
have abandoned their flocks to
the wolves, whilst they greedily gorge themselves.
If the world was to turn to God
wholesale these events would
not happen, but that will never
happen.
As we saw the more that the
people are punished the more that they blaspheme.
Revelation 16:11 quoted
above.
If we return to Matthew
24:22, we can see that the days need
to be shortened because of the
many other calamities including
the activity of the beast and the
false prophet and the two witnesses.
Matthew 24:22 And except
those days should be shortened,
there should no flesh
be saved:
but for the elect's sake those
days shall be shortened.
It is easy to think that
shortened days mean that the number of days will be decreased.
However, Scripture is exceedingly
precise about the length of time
that the witnesses will be
prophesying give their witness during the tribulation,
right down to the very day.
Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two
witnesses,
and they shall prophesy a
thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
This period is referred to as
3.1/2 years,
42 months, and 1260 days, yet
we are clearly told that these days
have to be shortened otherwise
humanity will not survive.
These two points seem to be
contradictory, but we know that the bible does not contradict
itself, so let us look at these
verses carefully, and discover how this will happen.
Revelation 8:12 And the fourth angel sounded,
and the
third part of the sun was smitten,
and the
third part of the moon,
and the third part of
the stars; so
as the third part of them was darkened,
and the
day shone not for a third part of it,
and the
night likewise.
Reading carefully we see two
separate, and quite distinct issues.
The first point is that
the sun,
moon and stars were darkened by
one third.
This is the very
opposite of global warming, which is being loudly trumpeted.
It is rather very
serious global cooling.
Revelation 8:12
the third part of the
sun was smitten,
the third part of the
moon
the third part of the
stars with the result that
the third part of them
was darkened,
It must be clear that unless this
is going to matter it would not be mentioned.
We can appreciate to some small
degree what losing one third of the light,
and heat of the sun would be
like,
when on a midsummer day in
Britain in year 2,000,
we were walking around in
sweaters, and still turning on our heating,
as the temperature in some parts
was in the 60s.
What impact this would have on
agriculture with photosynthesis
I can only guess at.
I have no idea what impact the
darkening of the moon and stars
will have, but it must have some
importance otherwise it would not be mentioned.
There are no
superfluous words in scripture.
The second point concerns
the last part of the verse.
Revelation 8:12 . . . . . . and the day shone not for a
third part of it,
and
the night likewise.
We are told that:
‘the day did not shine
for a third part of it’.
We would therefore expect one
third of the day, which is 4 hours to be moved to the night.
Therefore the day would be 8
hours instead of 12 hours
and the night would be 16 hours
instead of 12 hours.
There is the conjunction ‘and’ joining
another fact to the first one mentioned.
This is not the case at all,
because the sentence continues, and the night likewise.
It cannot be added to the day because
we just saw that
the day itself was already
shortened.
This means that one third of the
night also ceases to exist.
There is nowhere for it to go.
One third of the day
ceases to exist and
One third of the night
ceases to exist.
The end result is that
the night is shortened by one third,
and the day is also
shortened by one third.
This means that there
will be an 8 hour day, and 8 hour night,
instead of a 12 hour
day and a 12 hour night.
This will allow the tribulation to
last precisely 1260 days, as we are told that it would,
and simultaneously the days would
also have been shortened so that all life
would not perish, nothing would
have been compromised.
God's word will always prevail.
Our understanding might well under
go some changes,
but not one jot or dot will
change of what the Eternal God says will happen.
What the Eternal has decreed will
stand.
It really has to be our prayer
that we have a sense of urgency
and that we are motivated to
assist as many as we can,
to understand that we, and they,
have to repent and surrender
our lives to God now, rather than
go through the nightmare
of the great tribulation even if
the days are indeed shortened.
A Final Aspect
Now it seems that there is another aspect to
the days being shortened.
As I said at the start many people are
saying that they have no idea where the time has gone.
Neither have I.
I cannot believe that we are already in
March 2008.
I have no idea what happened to January and
February, but it is exactly the same with the weeks.
It is the Sabbath (Saturday), I have hardly
blinked, and it is the Sabbath again.
It does appear that the Eternal God has
also literally speeded up time,
so that time is literally flying.
The days have already been shortened, but
in a different way.
I do not understand the mechanics of this,
but I think that all of us can relate to this.
The nearest I can think of it is that we
have to remember that we are speaking about
the Eternal God, who can hold the world in
His hand as easily as we can hold a clock.
You might have seen sometimes for one
reason or another a clock speeds up,
the hands are passing the hours and
minutes just as before but much quicker.
This seems to be the position in which we
find ourselves, except that it is reality.
Our Rhema (Guidance) from the Eternal God is that we should pray that that
time is slowed down
for us so that we can accomplish all the
things that we genuinely need to accomplish,
This is quite a revelation to us, so we are
passing it on for your consideration.
Let us be sensible and realistic about
this.
This does not include wasting time by
pointless activities, such as watching hours of Tel-Lie-Vision,
and such things, which you have included to be part of
your daily activity.
If you are going to
make it you MUST, ‘Seek
first the kingdom of God’.
If you don’t, you won’t
make it.
It is as simple as
that.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.
If you do not do this you will be
constantly plagued with emptiness, loneliness, frustration,
and feelings of uselessness, apathy, and even despair.
Furthermore you can work yourself into the ground, and
still achieve very little.
One of Satan’s top priorities is to steal your time.
When it is gone it is gone.
It is totally irreplaceable.
When your time is stolen, your life is stolen.
You life is your time.
See our document: Thief of Time.
The Eternal God must come first in reality.
You must do what you have been blessed to have been
shown.
There is no other way.
This way you can be assured that there will
come a time
when you will move out of time and space and into
Eternity.
. The only way out of this dilemma is
Jesus Christ.
He is the only way of escape.
We have
to be under His Care and Protection.
Salvation by any
other name or means,
Simply does not exist.
Complete
Obedience is required
Praise the Lord.
Come soon
Lord Jesus.
Amen.
