More rumors of wars are occurring in the Middle East as an extremely volatile situation may be developing on the Lebanon - Israeli border since the collapse of Lebanon’s government and Israeli troops are now on high alert, fearing Hezbollah, whose exit from the government caused the Lebanon government to collapse, would initiate a disturbance on its border with Israel in order to deflect attention from the political crisis.

A ‘green blob’ described as looking like a ‘dancing frog’ has been captured on the Hubble Telescope.
"It actually looked like a blue smudge," van Arkel told The Associated Press. "Now it looks like dancing frog in the sky because it's green." She says she can even see what passes for arms and eyes.
WASHINGTON – The Hubble Space Telescope got its first peek at a mysterious giant green blob in outer space and found that it 's strangely alive.
The bizarre glowing blob is giving birth to new stars, some only a couple million years old, in remote areas of the universe where stars don't normally form. Read More
This really got my attention! More signs in the heavens that look like something right out of Revelation are happening as each day goes by. Are we now getting a glimpse of Revelation 16, where John the Revelator writes of what He saw, speaking of the the vials of wrath to come during the great tribulation period?
“And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet?”
“For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” Revelation 16: 13,14
When speaking to His apostles about the signs of His Coming in the last days, the first sign that Jesus said and warned His followers about to watch for was deception. Matthew 24:4. Jesus even went so far as to say even the very elect would be deceived if it were possible in Matthew 24:22. There is unprecedented deception within the Christian church, the likes of which we have not seen before, and the mainstream news media that it is difficult to sort out the truth from fiction to an undiscerning eye.
The apostle Paul, in 2 Corinthians 11:14 warned that Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. The apostle John, in Revelation 13:13, 14 tells us “he does great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast…
This is the reason why we must depend upon the Word of God to be our guide, and not any man or woman. What stands out clear to me in this story that looks to be satanic deception is a "green blob", that "looks like a dancing frog," that "is strangly alive"which sounds to be very much what the apostle John saw and is speaking about.

Another major fish die off, this time at the Chicago harbors, being called “abnormal”is taking place. Read more.
I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.
I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD. Zephaniah 1
What is going on in Australia? After a decade of crop killing droughts,flooding of biblical proportion is hitting Australia.
Even if the rain stops, it will still take weeks for the flood to fully recede, leaving mud, debris and chaos in its wake.
Mad Water: Dramatic Video Of Flash Floods Raging In Australia
The extent and scale of the "biblical" flooding across the state of Queensland has caught Australia off guard. A country used to coming to the aid of its Asian neighbours during catastrophic earthquakes, tsunamis and floods, has received offers of aid from Indonesia, New Zealand and the US to help deal with the natural disaster unfolding as the waters roll from town to town, inundating airports and mines and affecting up to 200,000 people. Read more.
While God promised never again to destroy the earth by flood, there is no doubt that the days of Noe that Jesus prophesied about in Luke’s Gospel, Chapter 12 before His Coming again are taking place right before our very eyes, and God is shaking everything and everyone around the world that can be shaken through weather and natural disasters, the likes of which we have never seen before, perhaps to remind people to look to Jesus for their eternal salvation.
Pray for the people of Australia affected by these horrible floods that the Lord's mercy will fall upon their land as they look to Him for help.

Have you heard about the true story of the little four year old boy who visited heaven? This astounding, but true account, "Heaven Is For Real" tells about a little boy, who nearly died, slipped into unconsiciousness, undergoes surgery, and after recovery reveals how he visited heaven while in surgery. The boy spoke of how he looked down and saw the doctor operating on him and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.
Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how "really big" God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit "shoots down power" from heaven to help us.
Listen to this incredible interview from CNN:
Told by the father, but often in Colton's own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle.
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 19:14 KJV
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell; God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth:) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. II Corinthians 12:2-4 KJV
Unsurprisingly, an audit that started three years ago of an uncooperative Kenneth Copeland, "name it and claim it prosperity gospel" preacher by the United States Finance Committee headed up by Senator Charles Grassley has been released and it shows that, among other things, Copeland is being accused of operating a for-profit businesses on church property, and the use of his $20 million jet for personal use such as vacations and shopping trips.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; II Timothy 4:3
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy.
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away. II Timothy 3
The shift of the earth’s magnetic north pole, while seemingly receiving very little press coverage, may turn out to be a very significant prophetically end time event. The present shift of the earth's magnetic north pole is so drastic that it is moving toward Russia and the Tampa, Florida airport had to be shut down.
TAMPA - Scientists say the magnetic north pole is moving toward Russia and the fallout has reached -- of all places -- Tampa International Airport.
The airport has closed its primary runway until Jan. 13 to repaint the numeric designators at each end and change taxiway signage to account for the shift in location of the Earth's magnetic north pole. Read more
Think about this. Prophetically speaking, this is a potentially very significant event, because we know from scripture that the earth is tilted on its axis, causing the effects of the seasons, and we may very soon be in for some significant very end-time prophecies being fulfilled, especially during the tribulation period if these mass bird and fish die offs are a precursor to coming world wide global tremors, which I am of the opinion they are. No one who has been keeping tract can deny that we have seen an unprecedented increase in earthquakes as well as disasterous weather catastrophies around the world during the year 2010. And now we read that the present magnetic north pole shift is so bad that it is moving toward Russia and the Tampa airport had to be shut down.
The present massive die off of fish and birds is no accident, or coincidence if you connect the dots. While the so-called environmental experts are brushing off these massive die-offs near fault lines and volcanos simultaneously around the world as normal, or explaining them away with some irrational reason, there is nothing normal about it. What they can't explain or know nothing about, they simply brush it off. But we, as believers of the truth of God’s Word know, that the world is going to go through great tribulation and the time may be rapidly coming upon us from the signs we have been following, and the fish and bird massive die offs is just one of those signs.
Consider what God's prophet, Zephaniah 1 had to say, when speaking of the time just before the awesome Day of the Lord:
THE word of the Lord which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.
I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.
I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.....read more
And of the Day of the Lord, God's prophet Isaiah writes in Chapter 13, verse 13:
"Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger."
I mentioned in an earlier post, the fish and bird die-offs are primarily located near earthquake (and volcanos) fault lines if you study the Google map. It seems to me as if the entire world is being prepared for one giant earthquake. And we do know that at the time of the Day of the Lord, just after the saints are caught up to meet the Lord in the air, at Armageddon, there will be one giant earthquake. Revelation 16:16-18, Revelation 6:12-14.
How is this magnetic north pole shift connected to the mass fish and bird die-offs presently taking place around the world, primarily located in major fault line and volcano hot spots?
Mystery: 8,000 turtle doves fell to the ground dead in Faenza, Italy and were found to have a blue stain around their beaks.
Birds and fish are rapidly dying all over the world now, with at least nine incidences of mass bird and fish deaths in various locations around the world. In Italy, it is now being reported that 8,000 turtle doves have fallen to their deaths, with lack of oxygen, known as hypoxia, in the atmosphere known to be a possible cause. Meanwhile, rapid movement of the magnetic North Pole may have caused the birds deaths around the world the Mail Online is reporting. Read More
From Texas:
Here's the link to the Google Map with all of the bird and fish mass die-off locations. Click on the blue pins for details.
Thousands of them: Crabs washed up at Palm Bay, Margate
Many of these perplexing mass die offs of fish and birds, I have noticed, are occurring around fault lines around the earth. Just a thought.... It is quite possible that poisonous gases are escaping into the atmosphere through ocean fissures and fault lines as the earth's magnetic North Pole rapidly shifts,raising havoc with the birds of the air and fishes of the sea, and major fault lines around the world.
Hosea 4:3 KJV
Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
From Arkansas to bordering Louisiana, the news is buzzing with stories and possible theories of why thousands of Redwinged black birds have been dropping dead from the sky, with multiple laughable explanations why, from lightning strikes, to weather to fireworks, while at the same time, environmental cleanup crews are wearing protective hazmat gear.

The truth is we will probably never hear the truth from any mainstream media or any government person, but more than likely the cause is from some toxic agent in their immediate environment or atmosphere that the birds have come in contact with killing them.
Hundreds of dead birds littered a quarter-mile highway in Louisiana
The last time we saw a massive die off of sea creatures and birds was last year during the Gulf of Mexico Oil Catastrophe which many reputable investigative reporters and scientists have attributed to toxic oil from chemicals, such as corexit being dispersed throughout the entire Gulf area. Residents located in the Gulf have acquired all kinds of diseases with people developing skin lesions, and upper respiratory and ear infections, sinus infections and chest congestion known as chemical pneumonitis living in this area attributed to the toxic chemicals distributed by BP last year under Obama’s watch, or....
What in the world is happening in the middle of the UnitedStates right now? Thousands of birds are falling dead from the skies, tens of thousands of fish are washing up on shore dead, earthquakes are popping up in weird and unexpected places and people are starting to get really freaked out about all of this. Well, one theory is that the New Madrid fault zone is coming to life.
The New Madrid fault zone is six times bigger than the San Andreas fault zone in California and it covers portions of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. The biggest earthquakes in the history of the United States were caused by the New Madrid fault. Now there are fears that the New Madrid fault zone could be coming to life again, and if a "killer earthquake" does strike it could change all of our lives forever.
So exactly what events have happened recently that are causing people to take a close look at the New Madrid fault zone? Well, just consider the following examples of things that have been popping up in the news lately....
*A magnitude-3.8 earthquake that shook north-central Indiana on December 30th is being called "unprecedented". It was strong enough to actually cause cracks along the ground and it was felt in portions of Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin and Kentucky.
*More than 3,000 red-wing blackbirds fell out of the sky dead in the Arkansas town of Beebe on New Year's Eve.
*Approximately 100,000 fish washed up dead on the shores of the Arkansas River just last week. So could all of these things have some other very simple explanation? Read more
A foretaste of things to come.
Hosea 4:3 KJV
..
Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
Jesus prophesied that just before His Coming again, 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; Luke 21:25. Never before has there been such distress of nations, with perplexity as we are seeing in our generation. If you don't know the Lord Jesus Christ, there is no better time than the present to get to know Him. Perplexity G639ἀπορέωaporeōap-or-eh'-oG1 (as a negative particle) and the base of G4198; to havenoway out, that is, beataloss (mentally): - (stand in) doubt, be perplexed.
If it wasn’t such a serious matter, I would be laughing at the ridiculous deceptive doctrine that your pre-tribulation promoters and peddlers have been selling to the public, making a mockery out of what the Bible actually says pertaining to the catching away of Christ’s church.
Imminency: the state of being imminent and liable to happen soon.
Make no mistake. The Pre-Tribulation Rapture doctrine of “imminency” is deception and probably one of the easiest things to prove as such, just by reading the words of Jesus from the sacred and Holy Scriptures in their full context and not hacked up and cherry picked to make His words say what He never said.
Passed on from the late John Walvood, your pre-tribulation rapture people have been falsely indoctrinated by this man made doctrine at the heart of pre-tribulationism “imminency” which promotes the false idea that Jesus can return at any moment because there is nothing more that needs to happen before Jesus returns for His church.
Pre-tribulationists base this man made theory upon a few hacked up scriptures taken out of context that you probably have heard by now, over-looking what Jesus actually said, to fit into their man made pre-tribulation rapture scenario.
You’ve probably read and heard from the many pre-tribulation rapture message boards and promoters and peddlers certain scriptures taken out of context from this man made doctrine specific scriptures these false teachers use to promote and peddle their doctrine of imminency deception. Below is one of their favorites. For accuracy sake, I prefer to use the KJV Scriptures:
From Matthew 24:36: “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.”
From Matthew 24:44: “Therefore be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.”
From Matthew 24:50: “The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,”
From Matthew 25:13: “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”
From Mark 13:32: “But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.”
From the above Scriptures, any reader can easily see that Jesus never said that one could not know the general time period, or the year, or month or even the week of His return. Jesus only said that we would not know the day or the hour.
In Acts 1:7, it is recorded that Jesus' disciples, after His Resurrection, questioned him, "Lord, will thou at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel?" And Jesus answered them, "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power."
It can't be any clearer, from their own mouths, that the disciples and Jesus Himself were referring to the re-establishment of the kingdom of Israel from this scripture directly above, but your pre-tribulation rapture promoters have even twisted this scripture, calling those above, and this scripture the Granddaddy of proof for a pre-tribulation rapture, when Jesus was not even referring to the "season" of His coming again, nor was a pre-tribulation rapture ever mentioned, but rather, when He would re-establish the kingdom of Israel, which is an entirely different topic of its own. Simply stated, a pre-tribulation rapture belief is mere suggestion based upon assumption from adding to and taking away from the Word of God, which is completely forbidden according to Revelation 22:18-19.
(NOTE: I can personally tell you from experience as a former participant on the above linked message board, "Rapture Ready", I attempted to discuss these points on the catching away of Christ's Church, and it was immediately discovered by "the mods"; I was questioned if I was "post trib", and was made to believe I was unwelcomed .because of intimidation and threats of being banned for "breaking the rules." I was immediately shown "board rule #15" and given a warning after my "post trib" position was suspected, being approached by three individuals on the mod squad. I subsequently asked that my name be removed from their data base as I no longer desired to be part of such a divisive group, which is not of the Lord.)
You have probably also heard and read from these same pre-tribulation rapture only message boards, promoters and peddlers of this deceptive doctrine of imminency that Jesus said His return for His church would “be a surprise.” But did Jesus really say this? What Jesus actually said was:
From Matthew 24:42 "Watch" therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.”
In a nutshell, because Jesus said no one knows the day or hour, ignoring everything else that Jesus said, pre-tribulation rapture "imminency" promoters think a pre-tribulation rapture can happen at any moment because there is nothing left to happen before Jesus comes for His church, or the rapture. These same promotors even ignore or avoid the Resurrection of the dead in Christ, which must happen first, according to the Apostle Paul's teachings, and according to Jesus Himself, does not occur until the last day.
If a pre-tribulation rapture is “imminent”, meaning there is nothing more to happen before "the rapture" as your pre-tribulation rapture promoters believe, then what is the reason to watch? And why did Jesus go to great lengths and tell us the signs to watch for in Matthew's Gospel Chapter 24 before His people would be caught up to meet Him in the air?
From Matthew 24:43-44: “But know this, that if the Goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.” “Therefore, be ye also ready for such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh.”
Jesus uses the illustration of a "thief in the night"in the above scripture, denoting that if you knew there was a chance of a thief coming into your house in the night, you would be prepared and be ready to prevent the thief from breaking in by being vigilant, watching and being ready and prepared for him, based upon signs or evidence. Without any signs or evidence, how would you know what to watch for or that a thief may come into your house?
And from Luke’s Gospel Chapter 12, 39-42, Jesus said basically the very same, that we would not know the day or hour of His return, but Jesus indeed did warn His people to watch, or be vigilant, so they would not be caught off guard at His coming. Jesus even warns His followers in Revelation 3 to be watchful and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die because He has not found their works perfect before God. “
Remember, therefore how thou has received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. "If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee."
Jesus is clearly telling His people who are awake and watching that His coming will not surprise them, but those unaware and not watching the signs would be caught off guard as a thief in the night sneaks upon his victim unaware. The apostle Paul confirms this same message, when speaking of the Day of the Lord and how it will come as a “thief in the night” to those who are living in darkness, or not watching. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6.
You can be assured, brothers and sisters, that we can and we will know the general time frame, or 'the season' of the Lord’s return, and we, His people, will not be surprised as people of the world will be, because we who are searching and reading the scriptures and watching the signs that Jesus gave us are not in darkness. Why would Jesus tell us over and over to keep watch if there was nothing to watch for? After giving us several visible signs to look for just prior to His return?
The Day of the Lord and the Return of Christ for His people will occur following the signs that Jesus gave us, after the tribulation of those days when the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give light, just as He said, making an "imminent" pre-tribulation rapture of His church impossible and will be no surprise or secret to His true church. Those of us alive and remain will be watching and waiting for Him to come for us. "Behold, I have told you before." (in advance, forewarn). Matthew 24:25
The bottom line, my friends, is that the pre-tribulation rapture imminency doctrine is pure fallacy and deception. On one hand, these people promoting this deception will tell you to keep watch, as most of the present day pre-tribulation rapture false teachers are "watching" the signs and writing about them in their books; and on the other hand they are promoting the false idea of a pre-tribulation rapture and that nothing needs to happen before the return of Christ for His church, which is beyond reasoning, contradictory, false and divisive, and unbiblical, and lastly, hypocritical.
No where in all of Scripture is it taught that we are to "watch" for a pre-tribulation rapture; however, it is taught to "watch" for the signs that signal the Second Coming of Christ in Matthew's Gospel 24 when Jesus' disciples specifically said to Him
"Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"
at which time we will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air .vs. 29-31
In closing, let the Holy Scriptures, the Bible, guide you and not some self-proclaimed "prophecy expert" and their "prophecy books" which only confuse and serve to build their foundation upon sand.
