BLOOD MOON UPDATE:

From Sharon Moles---including a word from Chuck Steele. In the mouths of two witnesses....

BEFORE I share the latest update from Chuck Steele, I'll share what I the Lord brought to my attention just yesterday, Sunday, August 31, 2014. THE SAME HOLY SPIRIT SPOKE TO BOTH OF US, WITH SIMILAR MESSAGES. OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES, A MATTER IS CONFIRMED. SO LISTEN CAREFULLY, AND READ WITH FULL DILIGENCE!!!

I was acutely aware of the number of volcanic eruptions, five or six major ones in the past two days. Along with those are the ongoing wars with much violence and bloodshed: the threat of ISIL especially, and all the bloody beheadings that they do. Numerous threats to the United States (6 credible reports) were given by Dave Hodges, in his attempt to warn Americans about what is surely to come within our very borders, and perhaps sooner than many people even imagine.

With all that in front of me, I was reminded (through a nudge from the Holy Spirit) of Joel 2:28-31 which was quoted by the Apostle Peter at Pentecost (the birth of the Church) in Acts 2:17-21. I was quickened with the POWERFUL KNOWING that we NOW LIVE RIGHT WITHIN THE FULFILLMENT OF THESE TWO PASSAGES!

1. The Holy Spirit is poured out upon God's people.

2. These people begin to have dreams and visions.

(Right now, many Muslims have dreams and visions about Jesus, and they are accepting Him as their personal Savior and Lord. This is an ongoing outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and God is shedding His GRACE upon a group of people who will soon be involved in a tremendous devastation: the fulfillments of Psalm 83, Obadiah, Jeremiah 49 and Isaiah 17--and later a resounding defeat coming in the Gog/Magog Invasion of Ezekiel 38-39. He is calling-out a people for His name, through FAITH in Jesus, BEFORE that terrible calamity befalls the majority of Muslims. GOD IS SO GOOD!)

THEREFORE, TWO PORTIONS OF THESE PROPHECIES FROM JOEL AND ACTS ARE DEFINITELY BEING FULFILLED, AS WE WATCH.

The prophecies go on give details of major upheavals in nations and in nature:

3. There will be blood.

This is the current warfare (which we see reports about day in and day out). Horrendous bloodshed as the enemies attack in the Middle East AND in Russia/Ukraine. These two warring regions encompass the EXACT NATIONS of the Psalm 83 conflict, and point ahead to the coming Gog/Magog Invasion. The fulfillments of those horrific prophecies are on the WORLD'S DOORSTEP, right now, in REAL TIME, as we watch the details fall into place.

4. There will be fire and pillars of smoke.

This brings our attention to two other things. In warfare, there is often fire, and bombs throw up columns of smoke. In the recent battles between Israel and HAMAS, we saw many photos of such fire and columns of smoke.

Also, the descriptions fit those of volcanic eruptions. Fire belches from the earth's belly and massive clouds of ash form columns in the atmosphere, so huge--and so thick, that airliners can't fly in the regions, and the sun and moon are darkened in that area. The sun turns a bloody red in the vicinity of a volcano--and can be EVEN BLACKED OUT COMPLETELY, plus--the moon also takes on a dark ruddy hue.

5. These details are to HAPPEN BEFORE the great and terrible day of the Lord come!

THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW! THAT MEANS THE "DAY OF THE LORD", THE COMING OF GOD'S JUDGMENTS, "THE TIME OF THE TRIBULATION" IS INDEED AT HAND--VERY NEAR TO OCCURRING. GOD, IN HIS LOVE AND GRACE, IS MAKING IT OBVIOUS!!! THAT TIME IS VERY, VERY NEAR. DO YOU HEAR? DO YOU SEE?

In Acts especially, Peter pointed this out at the BIRTH OF THE CHURCH on Pentecost Sunday! He could have quoted just the OUTPOURING of the Holy Spirit, for that INDEED HAPPENED on the VERY DAY he read the prophecy.

BUT, HE DID NOT STOP THERE. He continued, giving the added details of BLOOD, FIRE, COLUMNS OF SMOKE, AND THE SUN AND THE MOON BEING DARKENED. Why did He quote those details? They certainly were NOT happening when the Church was BORN! SO WHY DID PETER INCLUDE THAT?

I believe Peter spoke that prophecy to show TWO FACETS: One WAS FULFILLED at the time when the prophecy was being read--the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. And then, LIKE PROPHECY OFTEN DOES, it points to a COMPLETED FULFILLMENT in the time of the end. So the ENTIRE prophecy shows BOTH the START and the END of the Church Age, near the time of the impending Rapture.

AT THE END, THE CHURCH, STILL ON EARTH, WILL SEE A FURTHER OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (the Muslims having dreams and visions, plus AWAKE Christians having dreams and visions of BOTH the Rapture and details to come during the Tribulation).

THE CHURCH STILL ON EARTH WILL ALSO SEE BLOOD (beheadings and warfare), FIRE AND COLUMNS OF SMOKE (increasing volcanoes--which darken the rays of both the sun and the moon). This HAPPENS BEFORE that terrible DAY OF THE LORD COMES. It's a clear warning: THE RAPTURE IS IMMINENT, and after that, the TRIBULATION WILL INDEED START.

WE ARE AT THIS POINT OF TIME RIGHT NOW!!! PEOPLE, WAKE UP. GOD IS SPEAKING, AND HE'S BEING VERY OBVIOUS WITH HIS WARNINGS, BECAUSE HE DOES NOT WANT ANYONE TO PERISH, BUT TO COME TO FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
.................................................................................

NOW, THE CONFIRMING UPDATE FROM CHUCK STEELE: August 31, 2014 (NOTICE THIS: WE BOTH HAD SIMILAR THOUGHTS AND IMPRESSIONS ON THE VERY SAME DAY!) SO PAY ATTENTION!!!

I had a discussion with a friend of mine regarding the Shemitah last night and as a result of that discussion I want to clear up any confusion there may be on when the next one starts. I'm not going to get into a lengthy discussion on what the Shemitah is all about but I will post a link that will provide you with all the information you may want to know about it and where it's found in the Bible in case you're interested.

The confusion concerning the Shemitah seems to revolve around when the next one begins and the possible implication associated with it for the world when it does.

The Shemitah is also known as a Sabbatical Year and it is the 7th year of every 7 year Sabbatical Cycle (week of years) on the Jewish calendar. The last Sabbatical Cycle began on Rosh Hashana on September 29, 2008 and ends when the new Sabbatical Cycle begins on Rosh Hashana on September 13, 2015. Since we're now in the 6th year of the current sabbatical cycle and about to enter into the final 7th year of that cycle, that means the next Shemitah begins next month on September 25, 2014 on Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year) and lasts until when the next 7 year cycle begins on September 13, 2015 next year. I hope I'm not confusing you but if I am you can always refer to the link to clear up any questions you may have about it.

http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/562077/jewish/Shemitah-101.htm

So the reason I'm addressing this is because of the incorrect information floating around on various websites about the date of the next Shemitah and what they believe is going to happen on that date and by sharing this information with you then maybe it will cause you to be more watchful in the coming weeks and months for the signs that will show how close to Daniel's 70th week (Tribulation) we may actually be, and that is, if we are still around that long to actually see these things. I am one who believes in the catching away of believers before Daniel's 70th week begins and if you want to know why I believe that then please read my note "THE CATCHING AWAY OF THE RIGHTEOUS". God cannot and will not judge the righteous with the unrighteous.

https://www.facebook.com/notes/chuck-steele/the-catching-away-of-the-righteous/10152170114930881

Here is just one example of many that I've seen regarding the incorrect Shemitah date and I'm not going to include the link but if you want to look it up you can just google it.

"September 17, 2001 (29 Elul on Jewish Civil Calendar) 684 point loss or 7.13% after one week of closure. Now move forward exactly seven years to September 29, 2008 (29 Elul on Jewish Civil Calendar) it lost 777 points or 7.0%. The people and the nation are only given so much time to make amends before real financial pain is felt.

MOVE FORWARD SEVEN YEARS TO THE NEXT SHEMITAH YEAR OF SEPTEMBER 13, 2015 (29 ELUL ON JEWISH CIVIL CALENDAR) AND HERE WE FIND A PARTICULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE (WHICH IN THIS CASE) IS A SIGN FOR GENTILE NATIONS THAT A FINANCIAL ECLIPSE IS COMING FOR THE WORLD ECONOMY." (MY HIGHLIGHT)

This person just made an honest mistake as to when the next Shemitah year begins and it's really no big deal except that instead of the Shemitah beginning at that time, it is actually the start of a new 7 year sabbatical cycle (week of years) that begins on that date which is a big deal because if these lunar and solar eclipses are a warning from God that this coming 7 year cycle beginning in 2015 is the one marking Daniel's 70th week then we are going to continue to see more and even greater signs (birth pangs) building up to that date than what we've already been witnessing for the past several weeks and the coming days are going to be even more painful for the world.

But back to the Shemitah for a moment, the Shemitah it has been thought by many would be accompanied by a financial collapse and I know they thought that because they thought it (Shemitah) was in 2015 instead of 2014. If you look back at history you will see that every 7 years since about 2001 there has been a financial crisis and if this holds true again then we might be faced with another one in September 2015. I'm sure you remember when the last crisis happened back in 2008 and the stock market dropped 777 points and Lehman Brothers collapsed and so did our economy. If you read Revelation 6 and the third seal that is opened it talks of a global economic collapse so I do see the possibility of a financial crisis next year - if not sooner. Enough said about the Shemitah. I'm sure I probably lost a few of you by now but it's not that important to worry about.

I have to reflect back again to the time of when I started writing this note on the blood moons and it's impossible to ignore the fact that conditions around the ENTIRE WORLD have gone down hill very quickly since that time! I'm not just talking about Israel but also Russia invading Ukraine, Ebola, terrorist threats around the world including a suspected imminent 9/11 type threat coming from our own southern border, hundreds of decapitations of men, women, and children and many many more which are more than I have time to reflect on at the moment but evil is on a rampage as of late!

Check out this news report out today that most of you have probably already read about but in case you haven't you need to see it because I read a scripture today that caused me to really stop and think hard about what is going on. I mean, come on. Is God REALLY being that obvious with us that we REALLY are about to see the Church Age come to a close? IS GOD PREPARING TO CLOSE THE DOOR TO THE ARK ONE LAST TIME AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH? IS THIS WHY HE IS CALLING HIS WATCHMEN TO SPEAK UP ABOUT THESE THINGS SO THAT ANYBODY WHO WILL LISTEN, WILL???

Volcanoes Erupting Around the World This Week - National Geographic

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/08/140829-volcano-eruption-papua-new-guinea-earth-science/

If you read the entire chapter of Joel 2 you will see that God is talking about bringing the land of Israel back to a state of prosperity after His people the Jews have returned to it and it will once again flourish exactly as it is doing right now. Now that they are back He guarantees that He is going to be their protector and they will be fruitful and that they are going to know that He is in their midst (v 27) and will know Him. This won't happen until after the Tribulation period which is what that 7 year period is all about which is to judge the wicked and to show the Jewish people that Jesus really is their Messiah. And then it goes on to say the following:

"AND ALSO UPON THE SERVANTS AND UPON THE HANDMAIDS IN THOSE DAYS WILL I POUR OUT MY SPIRIT. AND I WILL SHOW WONDERS IN THE HEAVENS AND IN THE EARTH, BLOOD, AND FIRE, AND PILLARS OF SMOKE. THE SUN SHALL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS, AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, BEFORE THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE DAY OF THE LORD COME." -- JOEL 2:29-31.

Aren't these things the same things we're seeing around the world now??? "I will show wonders IN THE HEAVENS and IN THE EARTH, BLOOD, AND FIRE, and PILLARS OF SMOKE." Do people really believe that the eclipses happening of feast days which are coinciding with events around the world including all these volcanoes are a coincidence? Really??? If so, then I say you are in a state of denial because you are so comfortable living in this world and love it so much that you don't want anything to get in the way of living out your lives here on this earth. It's so easy to say that Jesus isn't coming back in our lifetime when the exact opposite is staring right at us in the face. God is being so blatantly obvious that He is about to close the door to the Ark of Jesus Christ because He isn't willing that ANY should perish but that ALL should be saved.

I'm going to close out this update by sharing an article by the late J.R. Church that I found a couple of days ago and it's got some really good information in it that you will want to read. I've read this through a couple of times and in doing so noticed that he believed what I and others believe that Daniel's 70th week will take place during a sabbatical cycle which occurs every 7 years on the Jewish calendar and lasts for 7 years. He wrote this in 2008 not knowing whether Daniel's week would start on Rosh Hashana of that year or not so when you see him talking about the 2nd coming of the Lord he is speaking as if the 70th week would begin then and end in 2015 which is when the second coming would take place. He is not referring to the catching away (or Rapture) of the believers when talking of the second coming. Many people today confuse those two events. When the Rapture takes place we meet Jesus in the air and He never sets foot on the earth at that time. When the second coming happens He will actually set foot on earth again on the Mount of Olives so that is the difference. J.R. was not a date setter and never quoted a date for the Rapture to happen. He was a true watchman on the wall and we all miss him who watched his programs on a regular basis.

One last thing that came to mind as I read his article again is when he said the blood moons wouldn't occur again for hundreds of years. Wow....that really got me to thinking and then I pictured a flashing traffic signal in my mind. You know, sometimes they're red and sometimes yellow and they just flash on and off warning of a potential dangerous situation on the road ahead. Well, maybe this is what the blood moons are meant to be for us. Maybe the blood moons that have happened in the past and these that we're seeing now are meant to point us to a time of great distress and danger and the fact that these will be the last for a few hundred years kind of reinforces that with me. What I know for sure is that when God set the planets in motion He did so with a purpose and it's not a coincidence that they are happening when they are. God has a plan for them and we are to take them seriously.

Look at the partial solar eclipse in this photo that takes place next year on Rosh Hashana. Keep that in mind when reading this article. There is a scripture that seems to line right up with it. Is God trying to tell us something? l'm sure of it.
