Look Up Fellowship "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near." Luke 21:28

Let's stop for a moment, take a breather, and assess the current situation we find ourselves in during this full frontal charge up to the beginning of the Tribulation.

I've written so much over the past few weeks (especially the past few days) that I hope the intended impact of the subject matter presented didn't get lost in so many updates to this website. The last thing I want to do is create "reader fatigue" and overwhelm you guys. Despite that risk, I felt compelled to write and publish as much as possible as quickly as I could.

Consequently, due to this risk, I felt it was important to provide you all with a quick recap of the general themes covered over the past few weeks as well as a brief insight into my perspective on it all where I am with what I have today.

I don't know about any of you, but I'm receiving several independent confirmations to me that we are DEFINITELY on to something big here. That is to say that while we're all in agreement that we're close to seeing the fulfilment of some major end times prophecies, this is different, and this seems to be about getting us to understand that their fulfillment is imminent.

Once again, the good Lord amazes me with His perfect timing! I'm not sure about any of you, but I can say with complete confidence that this is the first time I've noticed the Body of Christ having almost one mind about things and that's exciting to me!

What I mean by that is how I've had several Brothers and Sisters in Christ (those I've never met much less corresponded with before) write me for the first time this past week saying something to the effect of, "Hey, like the site. Weird, but I'm seeing the exact same things as you are! I was wondering about this and that..." when it just so happens that the "this and that" they are referring to is something I've NEVER written about yet, but had lined up in the queue as one of the next articles to be published!

How else do you explain something like that especially when it happens more than once in a given week unless to say that it's the Hand of God directing His believers exactly where He wants them to be looking and praying about?

Here's a quick summary of the MAJOR threads. I pray that God grants us all the wisdom and discernment to recognize these signs for what they are, and that we heed His warnings:

>> The veil of secrecy is almost fully lifted and new revelations are being given to men and women of God around the globe with increasing frequency and intensity as part of the "increase in knowledge" and "unsealing" written of in Daniel 12:4.

>> Many of these "men and women of God" are all independently saying the same things and offering similar SPECIFIC and URGENT warnings, and we know that God never carries out an act of His righteous judgment before first warning His prophets who can, in turn, warn the rest of the world.

>> If you haven't already, take a look at the research and findings that we saw in the "Daniel's Timeline" series, in David Flynn's "Temple At The Center Of Time," and in Steve Quayle's/Tom Horn's work on the return of the Nephilim as well as the "Alien/UFO" agenda.

>> A man by the name of Maitreya is about to present himself to the general public for the first time as the world's savior and true spiritual leader in these trying times. Based on his beliefs and his description, he could turn out to be the prophesied False Prophet or the prophesied Antichrist!

>> A man by the name of Reverend Moon is about to present himself to the general public for the first time as the world's "King of Peace" and "True Love King" during these trying times. He too could turn out to be the prophesied False Prophet or the prophesied Antichrist!

>> The Pope and the Vatican recently toured the Middle East promoting a "peace and security" deal that they signed with several Middle Eastern nations. The Pope is also scheduled to meet with President Barack Obama next week.

>> Something significantly prophetic is imminent! By "imminent" I mean that it will occur within days, weeks, months and definitely before the end of 2009. I know that's broad, but how shocked would we all be if 2009 came and went without a significant step forward along God's prophetic timeline? Of course, many of us will be watching the July 4th-July 11th timeframe thanks to David Flynn. This could be any number of plausible scenarios investigated here: terrorist attacks (biological? chemical? nuclear?); complete and total global economic collapse leading to massive civil unrest (implementation of Martial Law? rounding up of citizens to be placed at FEMA Camps?); health pandemic (Swine Flu?); regional and/or world war (Psalm 83 War? Gog-Magog War? World War III to be falsely pitched as "Armageddon" giving rise to the Antichrist? "War of the Worlds" scenario in conjunction with a "Full Disclosure" event of some kind?); signing of a peace agreement between Israel and the rest of the world.

>> July 2009 is a spiritual and temporal marker for all of mankind! David Flynn's irrefutable research and analysis coupled with the Mayan Prophecy for 2012 points to July 4, 2009 to July 11, 2009 as being the beginning of Daniel's 70th Week! This 3 minute video is perhaps the most chilling summary of why I truly believe we're standing on the edge of the abyss:



>> In case you missed this major warning to Christians around the world, Revelation 11 and the end of the Mayan calendar to occur in 2012 are linked! There are 1,260 days from July 11, 2009 until December 21, 2012, counting the 11th of July. If that day is not counted, the countdown begins on July 10th (or the evening of the 9th as it will still be the 9th of July in America when the 10th of July begins in Israel, God's prophetic timepiece).

Here's a quick summary of the MINOR threads. I pray that God grants us all the wisdom and discernment to recognize these signs for what they are, and that we heed His warnings:

>> The election of President Barack Obama is prophetically significant even if it hasn't physically manifested itself yet in the material world. During the election I often said that Obama had to win over McCain because if these are the prophesied last days as I believe they are then he's a better match for the type of President we'd need during those times to pave the way for the Antichrist.

>> As the economy collapses along with Mexico, we will begin to see increasing levels of civil unrest that could very well lead to Martial Law being imposed throughout this country and the rest of North America (will this lead to the establishment of a North American Union?).

>> While the specific method in which it will be accomplished remains to be seen, it's evident that the United States will cease to exist in her current condition. From the ashes of destruction will emerge a new nation like a Phoenix. The Great Seal of the United States holds a prophetic timeline, which ends in the year 2009 running 3.5 years until December 21, 2012:



>> I believe that there's a strong likelihood that the Ark of the Covenant will be "revealed to have been found" very soon and especially on the heels of last week's non-event, and that it will be a major news story that will lead to the rebuilding of the Third Temple.

Finally, the biggest thread of them all has to do with the Rapture. Seeing as how I currently hold to a Pre-Tribulation perspective then if the Tribulation is going to begin sometime between July 4th-July 11th, then that means the Rapture must be imminent! I plan to present some additional material on this subject next week just before the July 10th/July 11th important dates.

Even after listing my thoughts of the moment, the question that keeps staring us in the face is one that was presented to me by another Brother in Christ the other day. He asked, "What are the first, specific, visible, tangible things will we see after July 2009/2010 that would absolutely, clearly confirm that the final 7 years before Jesus' return has begun like we thought?" An excellent question. My short answer (without it being too much of a cop-out) was that it all remains to be seen and is still anyone's guess -- to an extent.

First and foremost, it's no secret that I currently hold to a Pre-Tribulation Rapture as I just wrote moments ago. As always, I am open to the idea that I could be wrong and would have no problem changing my position if the Word of God proved me wrong. Without going through it all again, I find that each position has merit, but for me the Pre-Trib view is the one that makes the most sense out of all of them.

Generally, the acts and events associated with the Four Horsemen are thought to be what occurs during the first 3.5 years of the Tribulation. Am I right about that? Specifically, I would look for the discovery of the lost Ark of the Covenant, the rebuilding of the Temple, the signing of a peace treaty in the Middle East, the Psalm 83 War and/or Gog-Magog War all to occur immediately after (if not immediately before) the beginning of the final 7 years. The sequence can be somewhat up for debate, but these are usually the things thought to occur before the Antichrist reveals himself as such and sets himself up as a god at the beginning of the final 3.5 years (or Great Tribulation). Of course, the Rapture could occur beginning, middle, end (and there might even be 3 according to some!) depending on who you speak to so that's another event to watch for.

Personally, I think that in order for the Antichrist to rise to power quickly and to be viewed as the "savior of the world" (the "man with the plan" when it comes to all the problems that exist and need to be fixed immediately) something BIG needs to happen FAST so that he can come in and seamlessly pick up the pieces and put an end to it all.

If he is to burst onto the scene in July 2009 then I think a Rapture event (where millions worldwide are suddenly gone in an instant) or some kind of nuclear war (Psalm 83 War or Gog-Magog War or both; a so-called "Alien Invasion" perhaps?) could be the perfect scenario to achieve that goal. It would have to be something so catastrophic, so paradigm shifting, that he could deceive the world into thinking MAJOR changes need to be implemented FAST, and if it's some kind of awful war I could see him deceiving people into thinking, "Hey, that had to be the Armageddon battle the Bible talks about! So, he must naturally be God who has returned!" I also see the discovery of the Ark and the rebuilding of the Temple as "minor" (a bad way to describe it, but I think you know what I mean by that) events in comparison to the rest.

Bottom line, I am becoming more and more convinced by the day that these next few days and weeks are going to be historic, and I pray it's the Rapture that's coming! Either way, I'm fully prepared for whatever I must face. Time will tell.

From Andre Heath of The ALIEN Project:

"The Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Buddhists are awaiting the return of their Messiah, known respectively to these believers as Jesus, the Mahdi, and Buddha. Consider too, that many in the prophetic and evangelical community are expecting a messianic figure called the Antichrist or the Man of Sin, who will sign a peace treaty with Israel for seven years following a major war in the Middle East. In the exopolitical field, many are awaiting disclosure, contact, and the arrival of extraterrestrials. Since the start of this year, we have seen several countries opening up their classified documents and disclosed entries relating to UFOs. Countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil, Sweden...and more is expected later this year.

Along with Star Trek and Angels & Demons, we have already seen this year, movies from Hollywood dealing with extraterrestrial, messianic, genetic engineering, and post-apocalyptic themes like Monster vs Aliens, Coraline, Push, Impact 1 and 2, Race to Witch Mountain, Outlander, Knowing, Watchmen, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Underworld 3: The Rise Of The Lycans, Inkheart, Butterfly Effect 3: Revelation, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Spirit, X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It doesn't end there. Here's a few upcoming ones that will extend and more than likely wrap up the alien mythological arc with the 2012 theme: Iron Sky, Predators, Jetsons, World War Z, Hunter Prey, Men in Black 3, Green Lantern, Deryni Rising, Westworld, The Mutant Chronicles, Battle for Terra, Terminator 4, Transformers 2, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood, Aliens in the Attic, Pandorum, 9, District 9, 2012, AstroBoy, Planet 51, Avatar, The Sky Crawlers, Alien Trespass, Legion, Moon, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Countdown, The Flash, Ghost Rider 2, Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Zero Theorem, Halo, Jericho, John Carter of Mars, Jurassic Park IV, Last Equation, Logan's Run, Lost Planet, Robotech, The Thing, V, Voltron - Defender of the Universe, X-Files 3, Battle: Los Angeles, The Days Before, Akira, Conan, The Crazies, Dune, Escape from New York, Flash Gordon, Forbidden Planet, Ghost in the Shell 3-D, The Incredible Shrinking Man, Judge Dredd, Robocop 3-D, They Live, When Worlds Collide, Brave New World, Chrysalis, Ender's Game, The Forever War, The Graveyard Book, The Hobbit, Hyperion Cantos, Neuromancer, Ubik, End of Eternity, Y: The Last Man, The Avengers, Hiding In Time, Iron Man 2, Thor, First Avenger: Captain America, Justice League: Mortal, Spider-man 4, Witchblade, X-Men Origins: Magneto, Cloverfield 2, Superman: The Man of Steel, Tron 2, Resident Evil 4: Afterlife. Long list, but you get the picture, right?

So, what does all this mean? Well, unlike others who think that the Vatican is backpedaling on the UFO issue, I believe that they are making great preparations for alien contact or contact of some kind. I will elaborate more on this later, but keep this in mind - sometime last year, the Vatican announced that aliens might exist and Christians should treat them as an "extraterrestrial brother" and part of God's creation. Stunning, no? While you are thinking about that, have a chew on this - the Vatican Church State owns a vast underground vault storing millions of seeds from around the world in Norway called the 'doomsday seed bank' on a remote island near the Arctic Ocean along with Bill Gates, the Rockefeller Foundation, Monsanto Corporation, Syngenta Foundation and the Government of Norway. You must understand that the Vatican doctrine is synthesized and aligned with scientific discovery and progress. These discoveries have been used to modify time and laws, which is why the Gregorian calendar was established. The same organization that tried Galileo for saying that the Earth revolved around the Sun in the 17th century controls one of the oldest astronomical institutes in the world, the Observatory in Castel Gandolfo, Italy. The Vatican Observatory Research Group (VORG) also set up shop at the Mount Graham International Observatory in Arizona. Together with the University of Arizona, they house one of the world's largest and most modern centers for observational astronomy staffed with a small group of professional astronomers and cosmologists, the Vatican Observatory Research Group includes one of the world's largest collections of optical telescopes, called the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope. It is a fact that these scientists are all Jesuits and are working closely with the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

Let's close with an appropriate prayer today:

"Dear Lord, I pray that you will not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Please think of me according to Your mercy and for Your goodness' sake, O Lord. Lord I turn from all of those sins that I committed and I ask for Your help in washing the memory and thoughts of that sin completely from my mind. Please restore me to faithful obedience to Your Word, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit anew, so that I may keep Your commands all the days of my life. Lord Jesus, I invite you into my heart anew today, and I ask forgiveness for all of my sin. Jesus, thank you for dying for my sins and for forgiving me of them through your shed blood for me on the cross. Please take away all the sinful 'old things' in my heart that defile me, and replace them with the 'good things' that you desire to grow in to my life. Please wash away all the sinful crud and tendencies toward evil and replace them with a hunger and thirst for your righteousness. I need your help, Lord God, in living this new life in Christ. Please send your Holy Spirit afresh into my life to help me, heal me, lead me and transform me. I also pray that your shed blood washes over me, protects me, and that I am counted worthy to escape the things that are coming upon this world in the form of your righteous judgment. Lastly, I pray that you have mercy on this nation even though we deserve your fierce judgment for our blatant sins that are before you. Help us to see the error in our ways as individuals and as a nation, and lead us to repentance before it's too late for us.I n Jesus' name I pray. Amen."

Keep looking up!
