Let's begin by praying for the Lord's grace to grant us wisdom and discernment. Let's also follow Jesus' lead and command given to us in Luke:
Luke 21:36 (KJV) Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
The word 'annunciation' means 'to announce'. The 'Annunciation' is, in Christianity, the revelation to Mary (the mother of Jesus Christ), by the Angel Gabriel, that she would conceive a child to be born the Son of God.
In the Holy Bible, the Annunciation is narrated in the Book of Luke:
Luke 1:26 (KJV) And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
The painting below is called the 'Annunciation With St. Emidius' and it was created by Carlo Crivelli, and it hangs in the National Gallery in London. It was made in 1486, or 523 years ago.
It is one of a collection of noteworthy pieces of art that skeptics point to in an attempt to illustrate how we Christians have been deceived and that our 'real creator' -- our 'real god' -- is none other than some super-advanced 'Alien' intelligence.
Have a look:
It portrays what many have called a 'disk shaped UFO-type object throwing down a beam of light down onto Mary's head', and it's shown in striking detail. However, after last week's Norway incident you tell me if it looks more like a 'disk shaped UFO' or a 'Spiral UFO/Spiral cloud' like the one that has the world buzzing. I mean, it even has what could be construed as that 'beam of light' coming out of it to the ground.
Even as a firm believer in Christ, I have to admit that some of these types of images in ancient art are curious. I can see how those weak in their faith or teetering towards the New Age and Occult could be corrupted by Satan into believing his lies. I can also see clearly how these will be the very things used by Satan in the near future to sell his 'Great Deception' so that millions welcome 'our space brothers' with open arms.
This is precisely why we need to view such things as the 'Norway Spiral UFO' with skepticism, which is to say that we need to recognize that it's nothing more than 'the next phase' in the conditioning process in the race to a 'Full Disclosure' event.
Most importantly, we need to view such things as being a spiritual phenomenon entirely, which is to say that we must remind ourselves to see the world from a spiritual and eternal perspective, and not from an earthly and physical one.
Let's view this latest discovery in its proper context. What the lost, unbelieving world sees as perhaps a sign of hope and a sign of better things to come in the form of 'our saviors from space' (a sentiment that will no doubt be massaged once images of this painting make the rounds in conversations about the Norway incident and its relationship to the so-called 'ET Question'), I see as a powerful reminder as well as a harbinger.
The reminder? Our Heavenly Father is desperately trying to remind us that He is our Lord and Savior and that our full faith should be placed in Him and Him alone. Why else would He allow an event like the one in Norway (followed by a speech by a type of 'man of peace') to occur now -- a mere two weeks before the day we are supposed to celebrate His birth into the world as a means of providing us with salvation?
The overlapping themes make it seem like He wants to make sure we don't lose sight of the truth, and that we don't lose sight of Him. Just connect the dots: an image in the sky resonates with a 500+ year old painting about the announcement of Jesus' birth, which then leads to a speech given by a mere mortal who the world brandishes a 'man of peace', all happening at the same time and just days before we're supposed to celebrate and remind ourselves of the sheer magnitude of the true Man of Peace's birth into this realm for our sake. Yeah, I'd say the spiritual war is intensifying now and the battle for souls is fiercer than ever.
Again, the above painting is called 'The Annunciation' and the Annunciation is the revelation to Mary by the Archangel Gabriel that she would conceive a child to be born the Son of God.
Of course, that's appropriate too given what we believe about where we are on God's prophetic timeline let alone our beliefs about the imminent appearance and rise to power of the prophesied Antichrist. Leave it to Satan and his blinding pride to try to mimic Christ in every conceivable way that he can and is allowed to.
'The Annunciation' as just two words kinda looks like the phrase 'The Announcement' to the quick eye of a casual observer. 'Full Disclosure' will be Satan's counterfeit of the 'Annunciation'. Yep, we may be close to an announcement alright. Keep looking up, but for the right One and the right reasons though.
Finally, if you're looking for a little extra 'spiritual convergence' to all of this and you're wondering what might be in store for the world I will go to sleep tonight praying about the potential prophetic symbolism involved in the story about Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi being punched in the mouth and bloodied.
On a very basic level, Berlusconi represents the most powerful aspects of Rome (and some might argue that he represents everything that's wrong about it). Well, the interpretation here is that Rome just got punched in the mouth by common man like you and me with a souvenir statue of Milan's Duomo, or cathedral with gargoyles that symbolizes the city. The symbolism there should be obvious, but check this next factoid out because it speaks to another possible connection with everything else presented in this piece.
The attack on Berlusconi occurred at the 'Piazza del Duomo'. The Piazza del Duomo ("Cathedral Square") is a wide, walled area at the heart of the city of Pisa, Tuscany, Italy. It's recognized as one of the main centers for medieval art in the world. That's appropriate given our focus on another famous piece of medieval artwork.
The heart of the Piazza del Duomo is, obviously, the 'Duomo', the medieval cathedral, entitled to Santa Maria Assunta (St. Mary of the Assumption). The 'Assumption of Mary' was the taking up of the Virgin Mary into Heaven at the end of her life. So, we also have a study in contrasts here between the beginning of Mary's life and its ending. Yes, you'd be warranted to cue any and all thoughts of a Rapture event being imminent because that's what I did after reading that.
Partly paved and partly grassed, the Piazza del Duomo is dominated by four great religious edifices: the Duomo, the Leaning Tower, the Baptistry, and the Camposanto. It is otherwise known as 'Piazza dei Miracoli' ("Square of Miracles"). This name was created by the Italian writer and poet Gabriele d'Annunzio who, in his novel Forse che si forse che no (1910) described the square in this way: L’Ardea roteò nel cielo di Cristo, sul prato dei Miracoli.
What does that mean? This is the crazy part. It translates to: The Ardea rotated over the sky of Christ, over the meadow of Miracles.
I just wanted to comment on the ridiculous nature of how the very place where a representative of Rome was bloodied today by a cathedral statue is often described using terms 'rotated over the sky' while our focus is on an event we all seem to think is somehow prophetically relevant involving a 'spiral' that also rotated over the sky in Norway (as spirals often do).
How in the world to we explain all of that except to say that we're witnessing a spiritual phenomenon -- a spiritual force -- engaging us on a level we've never experienced before?
Spiritual convergence indeed.

.. the Lord bless You Jeff for continuously searching contexts to events
I saw it last evening, but wasnt sure what to make of it. (apart from the question of inflicting) I feel that it has HUGE importance !
..mr.B is known as a boastful representative of 'them'; it reminded me of "..was given a mouth to utter proud words 42 months (..) to make war against the saints, and conquer them .."
Well this is what happened exactly - all His saints are worn out totally, now; and it seemed as if the Lord postponed any relief untill it d be too late
But look at the symbol of the snake, eating a man - what is also on his lawn next to his home -
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_THKoXcwanD0/Rs7b8b1lXII/AAAAAAAAAAU/MMQARZBSNgs/s320/biscione.gif
..and consider what you wrote above; I do feel, it is a sign that the mouth is closed now (for a while), and the Lord is showing the saints the annunciation of THEIR salvation !
If Id say that the past 3,5 years were even more heavy than those before..? Maybe a lot of His saints had a..pre-expierience of
'42 months' in order to..can help the cóming real 3,5 years..?
It reminded me of 'the sign of Jonah': who wasnt attentive these times, will remain 'in the dark for three years ' and find themselves to belong to the 5 foolish virgins - soon
And this event - this PROMISE ! - happened within one day of the promise..
looking up - praying for us all,
Lone
Wow, that piece of artwork is something else!It also reminds of the circle or halo over Russia and somewhere else recently I saw a picture of halo type clouds. Very weird! And it would seem all planned.
Hi Jeff. You truly are on top of current events. It sure looks like they're trying to open up some kind of evil dimension. I read this article that now makes a little sense to me. What do you guys make of it.
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1308.htm
JRed - you are starting to lose credibility with me with these stabs in the absolute darkness. Why would you refer to the failed missile occurrence as having any connection to the painting? Why even conjecture the missile with a UFO when it has been well covered from the beginning to not be UFO related? It was very well identified. Why do you speculate on such things as the object in the painting as being a UFO? It was not spiraled in the least. Why not the beam as a laser? 500 years ago they had no idea what a UFO was and the painting to me looks nothing more than an artists imagination that depicts an event mankind could not have seen anyway.
If I wanted to I could search the net and find all sorts of seemingly connected "end time" sign themes, but can I claim this is from God? No. Why would God put together such weak connections? When God gives mankind "signs" of the end times, it will not be man made signs but Godly ones.
I know when something is from God. When he shows me something not only is there no question that it is He who is showing me, there will be no doubt to others as well. This sort of total speculation does nothing to advance the Gospel and in fact may have the opposite effect for those still searching for the truth.
I implore you to search your heart and pray. If God is truly showing you something it should be much better than this loosely sewn speculation you've presented today.
I'd like to add a few more convergances in relation to 'annunciation.' I am currently reading Tom Horn's Apollyon Rising 2012 and was suprised to find out how entrenched our founding fathers were in the occult. The apotheosis painting under the dome (the female principal)of the capitol is also called the anunciation: http://www.theapotheosisofwashington.com/theapotheosis.htm
Lord Christopher Monckton who gave a speech at a college which has gone viral, said near the end, 'the apotheosis is at hand.'
All of which to say, these folks are brazenly preparing for their messiah and their NWO, we are soon to be seeing ours. But we aren't to fear, I believe really soon we will see the fulfillment of the latter half of Isaiah 61-
Maranatha.

I'm not saying I agree 100 percent with what Jred says but he has opened my eyes on a lot of things I did not know. To the above poster who says he's losing credibility with Jred, God proclaims,
Daniel 12:4
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Keep up the good work Jeff. God Bless You.

I am sorry if my last post seemed harsh compared to the ones that preceded it. I certainly pray you are not looking for mans approval, but rather Gods.
To those who may be thinking I was overly harsh, I had no choice. I am not looking to do anything, but get everyone to step back and take a good hard look at what has been said in Jeff's blog this past year. Much of it has been good at pointing out that Satan is indeed weaving his web. Pray we are not the ones to get caught up in it. God forbid. However, at the same time much has been made of so many natural events I am afraid we could be mislead by signs that are not of God but of Satan. We need to keep our perspectives.
To say some natural events "seemed" planned should make us realize it "might not" have been planned. God is not the God of confusion nor speculation. Whenever God gave signs in the bible there was no such speculation.
I pray in the coming year we remain faithful, prayerful and cautious even to the point of skeptical so as not to be fooled by the master of lies.
Merry Christmas to all.
In reference to the alleged UFO symbolism in classic art. There is a fascinating study done by Diego Cuoghi on this aspect of art history that can be found at: sprezzatura.it/Arte/Arte_UFO_eng.htm Do give it a view if you are interested in knowing what all those seeming UFO images are really portraying. Take care and God bless.
Dear Anonymous,
No need to apologize or explain. You're certainly entitled to your opinion on all of this. In fact, that's exactly what I've asked for!
You wrote:

Well, thank you, but praise God -- not me. I'm merely trying to apply the commands given to us in Matthew 10:16 and Ephesians 5:11 -- so that those weak in their faith, or on the fence, don't fall for Satan's web of deception. Of course, this also involves application of Proverbs 25:2 as well.
"However, at the same time much has been made of so many natural events I am afraid we could be mislead by signs that are not of God but of Satan. We need to keep our perspectives."
Again, I agree with you. Many of the things I point out here are signs that are not of God, but of Satan, and again that's the whole point -- to shine the light of truth on the darkness of deceit so that people won't believe his lies.
"To say some natural events 'seemed' planned should make us realize it 'might not' have been planned. God is not the God of confusion nor speculation. Whenever God gave signs in the Bible there was no such speculation."
Again, another good reminder to us all -- thank you. The one thing I've ALWAYS tried to be VERY CLEAR AND CAREFUL about is to point out to readers when some thought of mine is 'pure speculation' and/or a 'theory'. In the end, the reason why I share such things that more be more tenuous than not is because I know what God's Word says about His character and His desire to protect and save us all. I also know what His Word says about taking that which was meant for evil and turning it into good for those who love Him. That being said, I often wonder if their might be a 'dual purpose' in these sorts of things I try and expose.
Look, we know that Satan does not deal in absolutes and his agents can only produce 'seems like' types of things because EVERYTHING they attempt can and will only occur as much as God allows it to in order to fulfill His plans and purposes. So, that might explain your comments about 'seemed' and 'might not'.
Subsequently, if such things are meant for evil by Satan and his loyal subjects than wouldn't God (if He actually allowed some of those plans to succeed to fulfill His purposes) also use them for good like by perhaps communicating subtle, symbolic messages to those with ears to hear and eyes to see?
I don't know the answer to that. I'm just asking. That's what this blog has been about the past year -- asking questions like that once we expose the evil so that loved ones can protect themselves from the rampant deception.
Thanks for writing. God bless!

Anonymous #8,
Thank you for that link. You're right, it's a good one!
To reiterate, just because I write about something like this doesn't mean I believe any of it at all.
My faith is in Jesus Christ and His Word as contained in the Holy Bible. That is my guide and my filter for all things -- always.
I merely wanted to point out how deceptive the entire so-called 'Alien/UFO' movement is b/c its proponents will surely attempt to use ancient artwork like this to one day 'prove' that everything we thought was God (i.e. the miracles and such) was really the result of 'Aliens/UFO' and not God.
In other words, the New Agers/Occultists/Satanists have noticed this 'strange images and objects' in art throughout the ages and see it as another tool they can use to advace their sinister agenda when there's nothing 'questionable' about the artwork as that site demonstrates.
This is why the coming deception will deceive even the Elect, right?
Thanks again for sharing. Love the discussion here.
God Bless,
Jeff (JRed)
...and then, there's this article at Not Another Conspiracy today:
http://www.notanotherconspiracy.com/2009/12/raelian-movement.html
Hello--
Article here about Project Blue Beam and how the sky can be used as a giant movie screen. The Norway incident really looked like some sort of computer generated laser light show as described in the linked article. Lord help us~!
http://educate-yourself.org/cn/projectbluebeam25jul05.shtml
Rotating lights and graven images/ of artists are more like lying signs and wonders...and if the adversary/Satan can appear as an angel messenger of light or like the goddess who appeared to Washington in a vision well, isn't it likely that the adversary can also appear as a UFO or a beam of light with or without the help of HAARP manipulation or forbidden technologies of who knows what given to mankind by fallen angels/tares mixed in amongst us ???
The annunciation of Mary???!!! Is only a doctrine of men just like the celebration of Christs birth.
The XMAS Celebration deception is deceiving those who don't know that celebrating birthdays in general is an Egyptian Babylonian tradition. Celebrating Christs birth during the sun solstice time is mixing the holy set apart name and autority of Christ with the profane and it is a counterfeit and a lie and a stumbling block to Spiritual Israel...
sorry to remind you there is no living Word or admonition to celebrate Christs birth or any reliable record of the date. in fact the book of Ecclesiastes says the day of death is better than the day of birth...now if our spirit returns to He who gave it at death that has got to be a WHOLE lot better than this time in the valley of the shadow of death...and explains our predicament and the need to be born of the Spirit from above where our true citizenship is...
WORDS IN RED-
"And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which was in heaven." John 3:12-13
That includes Mary a wo man.
Well, I've understood art to be a kind of language. Take for instance the peacock in the painting. Peacocks represent:glory, royality, immortality. I couldn't get a good look and therefore didn't get what I was looking at, but the other angel seems to be holding something? It looks like a tray with a model city on it. As far as the painting as a whole, it does seem kind of weird. Perhaps this is why GOD was so clear that we should not worhship images (or give them a lot of credit.)
Dee
The Raelians have recently gone back to promoting the swastika again but take a look at their temporary swirling star symbol. Raelian Symbols One is called the "Swastika of David" and the other the "Wormhole of David"
More Religious Symbolism
The beam of light in the painting also looks more like a ray of light emanating from the sun...
(Sun God Worship anyone?) Like with Freemasonry and Lucifer the lightbearer at the 33rd degree of Illumination?!! From the sun of light to the reasoning mind of mortal man through the wo-man?
And isn't it interesting that the ANNUNCIATION of Mary is one of 12 FEAST DAYS Celebrated by the organized medieval orthodox catholic church and in England on March 25th at the VERNAL EQUINOX time?!(The date is close to the vernal equinox, as Christmas is to the winter solstice; because of this the Annunciation and Christmas were two of the four "Quarter days" in medieval and early modern England,wikipedia)
I couldn't see what the other two witnesses were discussing in the painting but if it was a city model plan on a board well it makes sense that they could be revealing their plan for a city of the sun god to those on Earth...
And where did the idea come from that Gabriel's message to Mary included a trip to heaven? That is just like the story told about Muhammed.Doctrines of men. Counterfeits. Yes the admonition not to make images of things in heaven or under...begins to all tie in to understanding how deep the deceptions go...confusion.
More interesting info about another version / painted graven image of the Annunciation of Mary don't you think?
"Her words are painted upside down for God above to see"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annunciation_(van_Eyck,_Washington)
It is thought that this is one of two wings: "the left (inner) wing of a tryptych(3); "
Annunciation of Mary Celebration on March 25...Vernal Equinox time, Mary's words upside down in WASHINGTON at the National Gallery of Art and the place with two wings and a domed Temple in the center, on CAPITOL HILL...hmm
DebinFlorida,
Thank you for being brave and posting about xmas. It surely is an idol among Christians, that I wish they would let go. Everytime xmas rolls around, I can't wait for it to be over! The other day I was thinking of how it is such a mockery of GOD. But even the best of the prophecy people, preachers and such still promote and celelbrate this pagan holiday. Hey when I left the catholic church, I left!
Anonomous...
Just doing my reasonable service trying to open the eyes of the blind...and those thinking they are covered and in need of nothing when they are still deceived and bowing and serving traditions of men...yes the shepherds of churchdom still leading the flock astray...just recentlu 2 weeks ago I called pastor Manning at ATLAH on his radio show and brought this up and emailed him links to my blog..."He just can't see it." If the Magi(magicians) and angels celebrated Christ's birth he gave his approval to it and doesn't see anything wrong...if you don't look you won't see...I'm still waiting for a reply to my emails to him so I guess he's also deaf and mute. See now why I am standing and challenging on XMAS DAY?
