Now What?

December 21 has come and gone without even a hiccup. I am still looking for some photos or videos of those poor individuals who spent a small fortune building bunkers or flying half way around the world to some remote mountain in order to be spared the carnage. On one hand it is a little surprising that the... oh what shall we call them... globalists, elitists, power brokers... you know the people that think that they have a right to rule and that the rest of us are just "useless eaters" and should be eliminated... I'm surprised that they did not try to take advantage of all of the hype and stage something that would work to suit their ends. Perhaps they did and it has not yet manifested... perhaps God's people prayed enough that He extend an additional mercy. We may not know until His kingdom is established.

One thing that we can't discount is that this event may have been inspired by the enemy to cause fear, cause death and to become desensitized to any prophetic writings. I am praying right now for a good word to speak the next time I talk to someone about the gospel and prophecy. I expect that I will now run into many more people that will scoff even more at the prophetic warnings in scripture because of the false alarm of the Mayan calendar.

We do know that the trouble is not over. In fact, the Word says that when the world declares "peace and safety" that is when destruction comes upon them... if we are still here when those things are being announced, I too will want to check eBay for a "bunker sale"

There will be many trials ahead... we are headed into a time in history unlike any other. I've seen and read quite a bit regarding the horrors of WWII so it is a little hard to imagine things being worse yet our Lord has said so. We must be ready.... and I don't mean bunkers and remote mountain escapes. Make your heart ready. Prepare your spirit now to be lead by Yahweh so that when He says, "Speak" you speak and when He says, "run" you run.

It seems the next "big thing" to expect will be an attack on Israel. There is some debate whether the next attack will be the Psalm 83 war, the Ezekiel 38 war or whether it is one in the same. This author tends to believe they are separate events. If this is true then the next battle will be won by Israel's military. I pray that Israel has learned it's lesson about being prideful after military victories. It was their pride after the miraculous 6-Day war that almost cost them a defeat in 1972. I pray this time they give God the glory before they even launch their first tank. In any case God does give them the victory. If this battle is indeed the Gog/Magog war of Ezekiel 38, then Yahweh's victory will be spectacular to the point that the world will be forced to acknowledge Him or willingly choose to rebel.

Pray for Israel, pray for insight, pray for the strength to walk unencumbered. This will enable us to walk with a purpose and not be taken off-course by the next ancient hieroglyph-inscribed rock from South America.
