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

Time to look up at God's creation for further evidence that we might want to look up for our redemption draws near.

First, we should take part in a little flashback in order to help us see the flashforward as described by end times Bible prophecy contained in the Holy Bible.

Amos 3:17 (KJV) Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

No, I'm not claiming to be a prophet at all so please don't take the fact that I'm opening this post with that passage to mean that. I'm just wondering if this spiritual law of sorts could also apply to His other "servants" mentioned in this verse -- like true believers, watchmen, and those with spiritual discernment. I believe it could.

That being said, please re-read this commentary from way back on January 19, 2009 (with updates to and including news from February 5, 2009) that I wrote. It was my very first, shall we say, 'lengthy' entry, and by that I simply mean that it was the first time I spent several hours researching various topics before putting things together in one comprehensive presentation in this forum.

Anyway, it was a piece that speculated on the nature of Vice President Joe Biden's infamous "mark my words" speech during which he promised a "guaranteed, manufactured, international crisis" that would be unleashed upon the world to "test" President Obama. Of course, I was completey wrong in my assumptions, but all the information researched and presented in that piece is MORE RELEVANT TODAY than it was back then.

Looking back, yes, hindsight is always 20/20, but it's still simply mind-blowing to recognize how the Holy Spirit was planting the seeds way back then and leading us with a trail of bread crumbs to this very point in time. That's also what makes it seem like we've almost reached our intended destination -- the prophesied Tribulation of Daniel's 70th Week.

I think we might want to at least consider the following possibilities 'just in case' -- so put them on your 'spiritual radar' -- because they might have their roots in that disturbing speech that Biden (a CFR puppet) gave from over a year ago. Besides, in light of everything else that's going on in the world that's prophetically relevant, we need to regularly expose the fact that Satan's in the midst of all of this, and this is his spiritual war being waged against the world and all of God's children.

Please keep this in mind as we continue. I'm merely trying to apply the commands given to us in Matthew 10:16 and Ephesians 5:11 by tirelessly trying to expose the works of Satan in this world because his fingerprints are on a lot these days. The sooner we realize that this is a spiritual war, and the sooner we start to look at all these dubious developments and eerie events through that framework, the better off we'll be because we won't just run from them, but will run to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior for deliverance and protection.



I'm in a 'watchin'-and-wonderin'' mood today so here's some food for thought:


> Looking back, doesn't it seem more than likely that certain factions and individuals within the governments and militaries of the world are planning something quite 'unpopular' just as we've been suspecting all along? Economic Collapse? World War III? False Flag? 'Full Disclosure'? Martial Law? H1N1/Swine Flu Pandemic? Terrorist Attack? All of the above?

> Let's take the most likely culprit -- a global pandemic. As one blogger aptly noticed, "Obviously reading from the same script, Norway is now the third country in the last three days, singing in perfect harmony, pre-conditioning the populations of the world for phase II of 'Swine '09'...that is that the the bogus-flu monster is actually a 'transformer'. Note also that these three countries, Norway, Poland, and Canada, are from widely separated geographic regions. All the world is being horribly set-up for further destruction. Rough water ahead. Rev. 18:4"

> The collapse of America is imminent. Of that, I no longer have any doubts. The old system must be replaced with a new system in order for prophecy to be fulfilled. Divine judgment is about to fall upon this nation. Christian Persecution? Bank Holiday? Economic Collapse? FEMA Camps? Martial Law? Food Shortage? Constitutional Crisis (involving Obama's citizenship debate or a new Con-Con in response to state's budget woes)? 'Operation Overwatch'? All of the above?

> Surreal that we were warning about this administration's potential to push for RFID Chip Implants back then, and now these are the very same concerns being raised by us today regarding not only the H1N1/Swine Flu vaccine, but also the recent news involving PositiveID (formerly known as VeriChip). Coincidence?

> How do I know that the Lord meant for me to re-discover this one column out of nearly 1,000 to revisit and write about today? Because in that piece I also discussed the importance of 'Mercury in retrograde' to the New Age Occultists (a.k.a the Satanic, Luciferian agents in this world). Guess what? First, Mercury normally turns retrograde three times a year, but this year it turns tail four times, which is very unusual. Second, the last time Mercury was in retrograde was back in late September. The next time? December 26, 2009 - January 15, 2010, or maybe the likely timeframe for all of these 'warnings' from The-Powers-That-Be to come to fruition -- 'Full Disclosure'; Israel-Iran war; World War III; Bank Holiday; H1N1/Swine Flu mandatory vaccinations due to 'mutated' strain like the one plaguing Eastern Europe; etc.? Just a thought.

> Once again, it's important to note that just because I'm writing about 'Astrology' and such in this Christian forum that should in no way be interpretted as me throwing my support -- in any way, shape, or form -- behind such a perversion of God's universe (Astronomy). I'm merely trying to point out that even the non-believers, New Agers and Occultists sense what's coming. They just attribute it all to another force/god and are therefore led astray and deceived.

> By the way, if you don't believe that this 'Mercury in retrograde' business is an important temporal marker to our common enemy, then you need to know that in the world-at-large, Mercury was in retrograde during the time of a handful of major historical events. In fact, Mercury was in retrograde motion when atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II, and on the day Princess Diana died! Two pretty significant moments in history, and those aren't the only ones.

> Mercury turns retrograde in the constellation Capricorn -- the sign of the Sea-Goat. No Biblically prophetic symbolism contained in the concept of a 'Sea-Goat' is there? Oh yeah, let's remember that Mercury is also known as the 'Winged Messenger' too.


> Capricorn is sometimes depicted as a sea born hybrid.

> In Sumer, the constellation Capricorn was associated with the god 'Enki' (Babylonian 'Ea'), who brought culture out of the sea to humankind. More prophetic allusions there, eh?

> Ptolemy's method of connecting the stars of Capricornus has been influential in celestrial diagrams. However, I want to call attention to H.A. Rey, who suggested an alternative visualization, which graphically shows a goat. No big deal, right? Until he creates the goat's head, which is formed by connecting the triangle of stars nearby. Goats? Triangles? Pyramids? Illuminati? New World Order? Satan's Antichrist and the coming One World Government?

> To the Greeks, who named it Aegoceros (goat-horned), the constellation was identified with 'Pan', god of the countryside, who had the horns and legs of a goat.

> Capricorn is one of the four 'Cardinal Signs', and it begins the winter in the northern hemisphere, and the summer in the southern hemisphere.

> Interestingly enough, those 'Cardinal Signs' made me think of the 'Cardinal Sins' and what we find in the Book of Proverbs. In Proverbs 6, it is stated that "the Lord" specifically regards "six things the Lord hateth, and the seventh His soul detesteth." namely:

-- Haughty eyes
-- A lying tongue
-- Hands that shed innocent blood
-- A heart that devises wicked plots
-- Feet that are swift to run into mischief
-- A deceitful witness that uttereth lies
-- Him that soweth discord among brethren

While there are seven of them, this list is considerably different from the traditional one, the only sin on both lists being 'pride'. Another list of sins, found in Galatians 5, includes more of the traditional seven sins, although the list is substantially longer: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, "and such like".

> This next part blew me away because it would juxtapose quite nicely with what we know about the coming Tribulation, Antichrist, and One World Government system, which many of us believe is close. Mercury retro in Capricorn, becomes critical, penetrating, and somewhat suspicious. No doubt spying and information-gathering will come to the fore, as this placement gives the ability to foster out secrets. Those involved in science, particularly chemistry, need to restrain malicious tendencies the Astrologists say. Those same Astrologists also warn that this particular phase awakens the inclination to be miserly, cruel, malicious, and spiteful. What future Biblical figure does that sound like to you?

> As it relates to the 'Economic Collapse Meme', I found it fascinating that these same Astrologists believe that this coming retrograde period will create an environment where the pragmatic, material world takes precedence, and they recommend that you hold on to your assets and always have something "saved for a rainy day". So, once more, even the non-believers in this world sense what's coming. It's just too bad that they act out of faith in nature as opposed to faith in God's Word. Worse, they have no hope for the future like we do despite all the evil that both camps agree is coming.

> Funny how the Telegraph's 'Operation Blackjack' series was excessively discussed in connection with Biden's remarks at first. While a scenario could still occur, today, the Telegraph's 'Case Destiny' may be more relevant with all the 'Full Disclosure' rumors because it's the newest Psy-Op dealing with that meme. Fascinating how these 'conversations' evolve, huh?

> That being said, would you believe there's a Capricorn connection to that as well? 'Capricorn One' is a 1978 movie about a Mars landing hoax.

So, what are we potentially looking at in the next few days, weeks, months? Economic collapse? Plague pandemic? 'Full Disclosure'? War in the Middle East? Terror attack? Yesterday, we documented how close the entire One World apparatus (government, economy, and religion) is to becoming a legitimate functioning body so is it such a stretch to think that another major piece to the end times puzzle will be put into place relatively soon?

Also, doesn't it seem strange to you how the content of this article from way back in January sat dormant for nearly a year and this week alone saw each major thread from within that one piece used as the catalyst for a stand alone study?

I began with a verse in Scripture meant for God's 'servants'. Now, I want to end with one uttered by Jesus that replaces the word 'servants' with the word 'friends', which I believe is appropriate here for us today.

John 15:15 (KJV) Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Fitting, isn't it? I almost feel like He's further comforting us with the knowledge that: "Hey, everything's going to be ok. See, I led you to the truth several months ago and even though it was hard for you to believe and accept way back then, now you can clearly see that by revisiting it all today it makes perfect sense doesn't it? Take comfort in knowing that I was in control yesterday, I'm in control today, and I'll be in control tomorrow no matter what happens. Cast your fears aside and fight fear with faith! Rest in me and I will guide and protect you. Run from all this Satanic evil, but don't just flee it without a final destination. No! Flee it with your eyes firmly fixed on me and everything will be just fine. I promise you that. Mark my words. I guarantee it. Now, what are you waiting for?"

At least, that's the sense that I get after all of this today.

In closing, perhaps we should end by considering one final section of Scripture.

Jeremiah 23:22 (KJV) But if they had stood in My council, Then they would have announced My words to My people, And would have turned them back from their evil way And from the evil of their deeds.

Let's do the only thing left for us to do with this knowledge -- do something; anything!

Forget about the speculations offered in this piece, and instead rest on what we know to be the immutable aspect of God's Word. We know what's going to happen before it happens. The only thing we lack is the knowledge of 'how' it will all come about exactly. As we watch together we can speculate by making some 'educated guesses' based on the evidence of how we think it might all play out, but that should never take precedence over His Word.

Share the truth with as many different people as will listen. Fall to your knees and pray that it will help open the ears, eyes, hearts, and minds of the lost to the truth so that they can repent and return to the Lord before it's too late.
