Every newspaper in the world will have these headlines. What if you are left and reading the paper? Will you remember that the Bible says the world will be so terrible that if those days had not been cut short, no one would survive? There will be false messiahs and false prophets performing great signs and wonders trying to convince you they are the ones to follow. Christians have been raptured and you are now wondering what to do. Shouldn’t you be ready if you are not?

The Bible is very clear, no one, but God knows when Christ will return. We know neither the day nor the hour. Christ told us there would be a number of signs that we should be aware of, indicating when that time could occur. The four blood moons on Jewish religious days is certainly a sign that something very rare is about to happen. The purpose of my writing is to make those interested, aware that they must be spiritually ready for whatever transpires. We do know that a Jubilee year is 2017. We believe Christians should be knowledgeable that God is giving signs as a warning. Or, as the Bible says: it will be like in the time of Noah. The people were warned and no one but Noah and his family prepared for the flood.

I am writing only what I have studied and read. I have no gift to predict the future. Will 2017 be the beginning of the end times? You decide!

The Jewish Rabbi Judah ben Samuel prophesized in 1217 that a number of things would take place based on fifty year periods in the Year of Jubilee. Two of his visions were that the Turks would control Jerusalem for 400 years. The Jews would control Jerusalem in 1967. All of his predictions have happened but one: He said that the Messiah would return by 2017. This is not what I am saying I am only repeating what I read.

Matthew 24:3 – 14 – “As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

We are hearing of wars and rumors of wars and we are not alarmed. We are hearing of Christians being persecuted and killed because they are Christians. We know that America has enemies because we are a Christian nation. For we are told that we will be hated by all nations. We listened to CNN recently and they were telling of the many ministers and Christians that are becoming Atheists. We are seeing the love of God growing cold and many are being deceived. We are seeing murder in our streets and gangs running wild. There is a lot of hate and a lack of love in the world as seen on TV. We have the ideal president who is leading America toward becoming a part of a one-world-government. He is circumventing congress and bringing the Iran agreement to the United Nations.

Acts 2:20 – “The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.”

The Bible says we need to see the signs in the sky that tell us something is taking place. God used a star to announce the birth of Christ. He stopped the sun from setting so the Israelites could continue battle. We see the four blood moons falling on Jewish holidays announcing an event coming. The fourth blood moon will be on September 28, 2015. There are none in the foreseeable future, according to NASA. Is this the blood moon that announces the coming of Jesus Christ for the second time?

I Thessalonians 4:16 – 17 – “ For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.”

A very well-known extremely famous Rabbi, Yitzhak Kaduri at the age of 108, passed away in 2006. To give a comparison of who the Rabbi was, in America it would be similar to a Billy Graham. He left a note that was to be read one year after his death. In the note, he stated that he had met the Messiah. His note said that the Messiah is Jesus Christ. He stated that the Messiah would return after the death of Ariel Sharon. Ariel Sharon had been in a coma for over eight years. He died January 11, 2014.

Of course, many orthodox Jews believe the note was a hoax and unwilling to accept. However, there is ample evidence that the note could be authenticated. There are so many prophecies and signs that indicate that Christ could come at anytime. We all know that Christ’s return has been predicted for over 2000 years. What if these latest signs and prophecies are possible?

Many do not want to hear this type of information. However, I look forward to the rapture and the following 1000 years when Christ will rule. There will be no wars, armies, or military of any kind. We will have a body with no pain or sickness as well. With these different bodies, many will live the entire 1000 years. I am looking forward to living in peace and having a benevolent ruler that will keep the world calm. I believe there will be a love that we have never witnessed before. We will have a servant’s heart and we will do whatever is necessary to help each other. I will trade that kind of life for what we have now and the sooner it happens the better.

I believe that children 12 years old and younger that have not reached the age of accountability, will be there and many parents will be left on earth without their children. If you were left behind but your children weren’t, shouldn’t you consider accepting Christ as your Savior? First, you must have the faith to believe it is all possible.
