We Go Up in the WhirlWind!

 Dear Precious and Greatly loved Saints,

I may not have told this story here before, but about ten years ago I was walking up on the trail behind my house where I often go to pray and I asked the Lord this question: "Are you coming in my lifetime?" Then I just continued walking as normal, singing praise songs and praying. There wasn't a particularly strong wind that day but right before me a whirlwind began to stir the leaves in a circle. In fact, as I continued walking I went right through it, really not thinking much about it. About 10 minutes later, another whirlwind came, and this one started right around me. It was only there a few seconds and I went on walking. So, I'm starting to think something odd is happening because in my 25 years of walking on this trail, I've never encountered a single whirlwind. I've seen a few, but never walked through them. So, I start heading back home, and lo and behold, another whirlwind appears right before me as I step through it. You can imagine by this time, I know this is not a coincidence. This is from the Lord. He's trying to tell me something. When I get home, I search whirlwind in the Bible. You'd be surprised how many verses contain whirlwind. I will only list a few below:

•  As they still went on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire parted the two of them, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 2 kings 2:11
• Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, job 38:1
• The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind, the lightnings illumined the world; the earth trembled and shook.
  Psalm 77:18
• When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, But the righteous has an everlasting foundation. Proverbs 10:25
• You shall be visited and delivered by the Lord of hosts with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a devouring fire. Isaiah 29:6
• For behold, the Lord will come with fire And with His chariots, like a whirlwind, To render His anger with fury, And His rebuke with flames of fire. Isaiah 66:15
• Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord has gone forth in fury— A violent whirlwind! It will fall violently on the head of the wicked. Jeremiah 23:19
•  Then I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire.  Ezekiel 1:4
• The Lord is slow to anger and great in power and will by no means clear the guilty. The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet. Nahum 1:3
• Then the Lord will be seen over them, And His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord God will blow the trumpet, And go with whirlwinds from the south. Zechariah 9:14
• But as they were sailing, He fell off to sleep. And a whirlwind revolving from below upwards swept down on the lake, and the boat was filling with water, and they were in great danger. Luke 8:23

As you can see from these verses, the  whirlwind appears to be a tool of the Lord for both good and evil. Elijah was raptured in a whirlwind. God answered Job out of a whirlwind. God uses the whirlwind to punish the wicked. Ezekiel saw Father God on His Throne in a whirlwind. 

I believe with all my heart that the three whirlwinds I encountered that day was God's answer to my question. And the answer was "yes".  The rapture will happen in my lifetime. 

Since that day, I have not encountered another whirlwind on the trail. 

Until yesterday. 

I had just come down from my walk and was approaching my house, and I heard the wind before it hit me. It didn't just hit me, it spun wildly around me very forcefully, tossing my hair around and throwing leaves up into the air. I stood there and spread my arms wide and gazed up, thanking God. Why? Because I think it was another sign. And this one is saying He's coming soon. This was the 4th whirlwind I encountered. 4 is the number of the Open Door.  So I wanted to share this with you by way of encouragement. I hope it blesses you. 

As far as the news goes, my guess is you all are keeping on top of things. The War continues. Will it morph into WW3 or Gog-Magog? I do not know. Will things settle down and peace treaties are made? I don't know.  There's a lot of speculation among the watcher community, but as for me, I will not say anything unless the Lord directs me. We wait and watch.   

This is an interesting short video about what is currently happening in the Middle East. Click to Blog to view

 Did you hear that our Government officials are telling our men and women in the military that this war will bring in Armageddon and the 2nd coming of Jesus? 

US Troops told Iran War is God's plan to trigger Armageddon 

End Times Rhetoric in US military 

Ask yourself why they would say this? Because they are good Christian men and women who are excited to see Jesus? Based on everything we know about anyone in power, I'm going with NO. I believe they are being told to say this to put the idea out there among the masses, so that when their False Messiah shows up in the clouds to save the world, people will accept it more readily.  

 Here is a list of all those now involved in this Middle East war . I thought it was interesting. Especially since the Daniel covenant is with "the many".

Iran
Israel
America
United Arab Emirates 
Qatar
Kuwait
Bahrain
Oman
Saudi Arabia
Jordan
Lebanon
Iraq 
Cyprus
UK
France
Germany

3 Grand Ayatollahs Have Declared Global Jihad Against The United States And Israel 

This is very important. They are deadly serious about this. And if the Islamist sleeper cells which we know are here in the US take this to heart, we can expect to see violence on our homeland. 

Iran has officially declared JIHAD against the United States and Israel. A formal religious decree has been issued citing Quran 22:39 -- granting divine permission to wage war against "Crusader aggression." 

What this means: 
▪️ This is not political rhetoric. This is a RELIGIOUS WAR DECLARATION.  
▪️ Every Shia militia across Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen now has theological authorization to attack U.S. and Israeli targets 
▪️ Hezbollah. Houthis. Iraqi PMF. All activated under one fatwa.  
▪️ The document calls on the ENTIRE Islamic world to mobilize This changes everything. A political war can be negotiated. A holy war cannot. 

Famine Incoming? About One-Fourth Of All Globally Traded Nitrogen Fertilizer Normally Travels Through The Strait Of Hormuz 

This is just one of the consequences of the shut down of this Strait. Also 80% of oil goes through this Strait and a large amount of food.  

Then I found this: 

 NEURALINK HAS ENGINEERED AN ARTIFICIAL CORTICAL LAYER CALLED LAYER ZERO TO SERVE AS A LIVING BIOLOGICAL BRIDGE BETWEEN THE HUMAN BRAIN AND COMPUTERS 

The company engineered an artificial cortical layer called Layer Zero to serve as a living biological bridge between the human brain and computers. Traditional rigid implants act like foreign objects that damage the brain and trigger scar tissue, which ruins the electrical signal over time.

By growing a custom layer of living brain cells directly on the surface, Neuralink avoids this damage completely. Once placed on the brain, this new layer of cells matures much like a developing mind.

The boundary between biological intelligence and artificial computing is about to disappear completely. For years scientists have struggled to solve the problem of brain implants causing progressive tissue damage. By engineering  an artificial cortical layer called Layer Zero to serve as a living biological bridge between the human brain and computers. 

 

Look at all the Cover pages of Time over the years!!  See Video below. Think they are trying to tell us something?

 Meanwhile.....

 

 That's it for now! Have a wonderfully blessed weekend. Cling to Jesus. Grow closer to Him. Read the Word, and keep looking up, for soon we will see our Lord in the clouds!!
