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

Yours truly is scheduled to host The Big Finale radio show for the second time tonight, and I can't wait!

There's just so much to cover and expose in this late and urgent hour as it relates to end times Bible prophecy and what's waiting for us right around the corner, and I'm grateful that Bruce Collins has created a platform where he is committed to providing the world with a place where such things can be discussed honestly and intelligently.

In case you're not familiar with Bruce and his ministry, I encourage you to take some time to stop by his website first, and then follow that up by listening to one of the many weekly shows he's hosted over the past 4 years that are Archived for your convenience.

Here's a short promotional video for the weekly broadcast to help fill in the blanks for you:



I'm honored and humbled to have been asked to partner with him especially since this will not only be another incredible opportunity to point people to Jesus Christ while there's still time, but because Bruce is a consummate professional who is great at what he does.

DATE: Friday 7/31/2009

TIME: 10:00pm Eastern - 9:00pm Central - 7:00pm Pacific

SHOW INFO: Please join me and my Guest King S. Wells, Jr. who's Host of TEOTWAWKII Radio and the Author of Ancient Myths And The Bible: Understanding The Bible And The Endtimes From A Mythological World View. We'll be discussing the importance of having a casual understanding of Ancient Greek and Roman Mythology (amongst other mythologies) to Christians especially as it pertains to the study of Bible prophecy. Besides a general discussion of the book, King and I will touch upon the following as it connects to his body of work:

> The Fallen Angels/Nephilim Connection
> Satan's Counterparts
> Satan's Counterfeit of the Alpha and the Omega -- Apollo and Osiris
> Hidden in Plain Sight -- Mythology's Influence in American Society
> Hollywood's Mass Conditioning Movement
> "Alien/UFO" Agenda and the Coming Great Deception
> Importance of the Planets
> Maitreya

With so much ground to cover I pray that the Lord will help us find the time to fit everything into 60 minutes that we feel needs to be discussed. If you have any questions you'd like me to ask King during the show please email them to me at "lookupluke2127 at yahoo dot com" with "Question For King" in the Subject Line. I'll be sure to present them to him as long as we have some time left at the end of the show.

It should be a fun and exciting, but also a serious conversation regarding our imminent destiny. I hope that many of you can find the time to listen. If not live, then perhaps at some point over the weekend by downloading the MP3 file from the Archives, or by simply watching for the show's Archives Widget (on the left hand side of this page) to update automatically.

Please pray for me to have clarity of mind, the ears to hear, and the words to speak in accordance with God's perfect will and His perfect purpose so that I can bring glory to Him while also alerting others about what's really going on all around us, and why we need to be mindful of it.

Feel free to also send me and/or Bruce your comments and feedback if you'd like. As always, thank you for your time, consideration, and continued support since it's greatly appreciated.

A lot of thoughts during these early morning hour. I'm so glad I spent the time to do some summer cleaning earlier today because I just discovered that this date could be a historic (infamous) one before it's through.

I simply had to share this email I found that was sent to be my Chris G way back in March because it could prove to be quite relevant in the next few days especially now with the latest news coming out of Israel.

In case you missed it, I saw two potential harbingers of doom in the news reports from Israel yesterday. First, Israel announced that no option is off the table when it comes to preventing Iran from going nuclear. Second, I just learned that the first confirmed fatality from the Swine Flu in Israel was reported as well.



Here's the email I received 4 months ago:


My head is spinning a bit, so I'll try to keep this as brief as possible while still getting the point clearly across.

I have been reading up quite a bit lately on prophetic theories about the tribulation mentioned in Scripture and the return of the Lord (which of course will be coupled with his judgment of those upon the earth). I have seen three different explanations that are VERY plausible, and all three suggest a mid-point of the tribulation some where between early 2012 and spring of 2013. If the earliest midpoint is say January, 2012, then we would have to back up 3.5 years (or more specifically, 1290 days), That would put something big possibly happening as soon as July, 2009.

God is very interesting (to say the least) in that he often uses the same date in the Hebrew calendar to do certain things. One example is that He commanded Israel to kill the lamb on Passover, and Jesus (the Lamb of God) was crucified on a Passover. So, the question becomes - Is there any significant date in Jewish history that is significant in around this time of July, 2009. Interestingly, yes.

July 30th, 2009 is the month and day called 9 Av. This day of this month has been VERY significant in the past. Here is a list of events that have occurred on this day in history:

(I intended to include the link to where I got this from but can't find it again)

This is a list of secular events that happened on the 9th day of the Jewish month of Av to the Jews. All these are verifiable in the history books.

* The Jewish Commentary, the Mishna, records that the people believed the evil report of the spies and mourned all night in fear. They turned against Moses and the two faithful spies, Joshua and Caleb (the only two from Egypt that entered the promised land). (Ta'anit 29a says it happened on the 9th of Av, Numbers 14:1-10 just records the curse from the Lord and the revolt against Moses and not the date.) This event started their 40 year wandering in the desert.

* Destruction of the 1st temple, 29 July 587 BC (9 Av 3174)
* Destruction of the 2nd temple, 4 Aug 70 AD (9 Av 3830)
* The Roman army plowed Jerusalem with salt in 25 July 71 AD (9 Av 3831)
* The destruction of Simeon Bar Cochba's army in 5 Aug 135 AD (9 Av 3895)
* First Crusade declared by Pope Urban II. 10,000 Jews killed in first month of Crusade. Crusades bring death and destruction to thousands of Jews, totally obliterate many communities in Rhineland and France. 14 July 1095 (9 Av 4855)

* The Martyrs of York - 500 Jews died as a result of the rich storming a castle in York England, killing them all on 14 July 1190. (9 Av 4950)

* England expelled all of the Jews in 18 July 1290 AD (9 Av 5050)
* Spain expelled all of the Jews in 2 August 1492 AD (9 Av 5252)
* World War I is declared on the ninth of Av, 1 August 1914 (9 Av 5674)
* Russia mobilized for World War I and launched persecutions against the Jews in Eastern Russia on this day too. 1 August 1914 (9 Av 5674)

* On the 10th of July 1942, the Germans began a systematic liquidation of the Ghetto, deporting Jews to extermination camps at the rate of six to ten thousand per day. Deportation started on 9th Av. By the Autumn there were only 40,000 Jews left in Warsaw. By early 1943, the Jews refused to cooperate with the Germans and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began. Renewed attempts to start deportations were answered with reprisals. (9 Av 5702)

Two events on a given day is 1 in 365 days. 3 events on the same day is 1 X 365 X 365 = 133,225 Hence, the odds on these 12 events happening to the same people, the same country, over the centuries on the same day is 1 chance in 15.318 billion times a billion times a billion or:
15,318,685,820,000,000,000,000,000,000!!!!!
(365 raised to the 11th power = 1.53186582 x 10 to the 28th power.) A 1 in 20 is a notable event!!!!

+++++++++++++++

Now, I'm not saying for certain that July, 2009 will be the start of the last seven years, but it is very much in the realm of possibility, and July 30th will be a date to watch. Whether this is a significant one or not, you can bet that 9 Av plays an important role in the last 7 years, and will be related to the nation of Israel and possibly the Temple (which is not yet rebuilt).


Wow! What an incredible piece of discernment, huh? And to think this email sat in my Temporary Folder all this time and today was the day I decided to finally clean it out! That blows my mind. Thanks be to God and the Holy Spirit for burdening me with the need to do that. Remember that there are no coincidences in the Christian lifestyle.

In addition, I came across yet another email about 1-2 months old on the same subject. It added that this date is the end of the 21 day period of mourning which begins for the Jews on the 17th day of Tammuz. This date is commonly referred to as "Destruction Day" by the Jewish people because of all the terrible things which have happened to the Jewish people on the 9th day of Av throughout history:

> Both the first and second Temples were destroyed on the 9th day of Av in past history by the armies of Babylon and Rome .

> It was also on the 9th day of Av that the Jews were expelled from Great Britain in the 1200’s, and from Spain in the 1400’s.

> It was on the 9th day of Av that Adolph Hitler’s "Final Solution" to commit the Jews to genocide by gassing and burning them was approved in 1938.

> This date is exactly 60 days past Pentecost, which occurred on May 31st. "60" is the Bible number associated with "pride; the pride of the Gentiles; boasting of the Gentiles; times of the Gentiles." Is it possible that the Rapture of God’s people could occur, and the terrible Tribulation period could begin on the earth on this 9th day of Av? I do not know! But I do know the 9th day of Av has been a highly significant date in the past, and therefore it could be a very significant date this year. Watch this date!

As significant as all of that is to us students of Bible prophecy there's something else that's even more incredible that I feel needs to be included in this column. It involves the ministry of the Two Witnesses. First, another email from a reader. This time it's Kurt H:


Before I kick things off, let's remember that
we are just entering Av, and that the day of note is
usually Av 9. That is when destruction befalls
the Jewish people. We had the whole Jupiter smackdown
and solar eclipse right around Av 1, so the Lord only knows
what is around the bend...It may yet be a harbinger of things to come.


I believe he may have stumbled on something HUGE especially given a story I just read today. Kurt wrote: "We had the whole Jupiter smackdown and solar eclipse right around Av 1, so the Lord only knows what it around the bend...It may be a harbinger of things to come." I believe it's "a harbinger of things to come" indeed Kurt!

Let me just cut to the chase. There were two unprecedented, and oddly similar, cosmic events -- that happened (or at least were reported I should say) on the same day! Here's what I'm asking myself for some inexplicable reason: Are the following two stories prophetically symbolic in any way? If so, how? Why do I keep thinking about the ministry of the Two Witnesses being at hand after reading them? Here are those two stories I'm referring to:

Deep Impact: Jupiter Hit By Comet Or Meteoroid

A New Bright Spot On Venus

Regardless of whether or not any of that is related to this discussion, let's all keep our eyes on Israel in the coming hours and days because this may be it. By "it" I mean that we may see the Psalm 83 War and/or Gog-Magog War as prophesied, along with perhaps the destruction of Damascus, Syria. Then again, the "it" might be something else entirely like the "unveiling" of the Ark of the Covenant, the announcement that a covenant has been confirmed, or the news that the Temple will be rebuilt. Let's put it this way...I wouldn't be surprised in the least bit if we did see either of those events in the news today.

Draw near to the Lord and be as spiritually ready as you can because you'll need the full armor of God and the spiritual weapons of warfare should a similar international event occur. Fight any fear with faith.

Psalm 146:2-6 -- "While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:"

I've been meaning to do this kind of post for awhile now.

See, every time I stumble across something of interest online that I want to write about here I bookmark the page, save the link, and tell myself I'll get to it later. I have just under 100 bookmarked pages.

Every time someone sends me an email suggesting I check out a particular story or YouTube video I save it in a Temporary Folder, and tell myself I'll get to it later. I have 294 emails in this folder at the time of this writing.

Every time I have a thought that I think I might be able to use to build an entire column around I write it down in a notebook, and tell myself I'll get to it later. I have 3 pages worth of random thoughts.

Small problem though. You know what?

I never get back to it later because prophetically relevant news is happening all the time these days! I get so bogged down writing about "the news of the hour" that I forget about the news from last hour!

So, in an effort to "clean house" so to speak and to do a little summer cleaning on my end I'm throwing up this column, which we be a collection of important links to commentaries, news stories, images, videos, etc. that you should try to take a look at when you get a chance.

I will warn you ahead of time that this is a virtual grab bag of propehtically relevant goodies here so there's really no rhyme or reason to the list. Like I said, it's compiled using all the things I've saved over the past 7 months and just never got to write about in-depth in this forum.

Pour yourself a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, sit back, and enjoy! Take your time and try to check out each hyperlink if you can because it will be worth it believe me. Besides, I plan on slowing things down a bit here as I work towards completing several other side projects this week. What I'm getting at is that you should have a chance to work your way through all of this if you want to without betting bogged down by several new columns in the next few days.





> Just because I talk and write extensively about "government conspiracies" in these parts (especially lately) that DOES NOT mean that I believe that anyone and everyone who works for the government and/or military in some capacity is a part of the "dark forces who are loyal to Satan". Quite the contrary! In fact, I have a family member who I love dearly who works for the FBI, and several friends who work for the government (local and federal). My point is that I'm merely trying to apply Ephesians 5:11 and Matthew 10:16 to each day by attempting to expose the darkness of deceit with the light of truth whenever I find deception to exist.

> Why do I believe that a "conspiracy" of some sort can be found regarding 9/11 as well as the London and Madrid bombings? Because not only is the evidence clear to any rational thinking mind, but knowing what I know about end times Bible prophecy and the coming One World Government system led by the Antichrist a government conspiracy is necessary to fulfill the prophecies for these last days.

> Read THIS article. Here's and excerpt: "The fact that the government is now treating people who merely criticize its conduct as domestic terrorists is the clearest signal possible that the United States has entered a period in history similar to Germany in the early 1930’s and that it can only be a matter of time before the right “emergency” provides the justification for dissidents to be targeted for round-ups and mass imprisonment. No one can claim now that this is merely a paranoid delusion - the government itself is training its law enforcement and military arms that protesters and people who use their First Amendment rights are domestic terrorists. The last time this happened was under King George shortly before the American Revolution."

> From Barry: Hi Jeff , I watched this video last night and it seems to go hand in hand with what is written here. It seems the NWO is planning to kill 90% of the world's population and then their plan is to live forever using modern technology and eventually go out to the stars. They have a real surprise coming, MAYBE many of us will die but I guarantee you all of them will. They don't know our God.

> Are you a "Prepper" or not?

> The month of July. July is the 7th month on our present Gentile calendar. "7" is the Bible number associated with "completion; to complete; to fill up; to finish; to bring to a conclusion."

> Every true believer knows that there are two spirits at work in this world which are in direct opposition to one another -- the Spirit of God and the spirit of Satan. Both have their own agendas which are being worked out among men. It is not at all then unreasonable to believe that in this 7th month of the year the possibility exists that the Lord’s agenda for His New Testament church on Earth will be completed by the Rapture. Neither is it unreasonable to believe that the possibility exists that Satan’s agenda of bringing his chosen leader forth upon the world scene will come to fruition during this 7th month.

> "According to information available about the harvest seasons in Israel , the wheat harvest which begins on or around Pentecost comes to an end around the end of July. I think this is highly interesting and possibly prophetically significant in view of Ruth 2:23, 'So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest...' The next chapter in Ruth then records the account of Ruth [a type of the Gentile bride] going to Boaz [a type of Christ]. Is this also a type of the Rapture of the Lord’s New Testament Gentile bride at the end of the wheat harvest in Israel, which occurs near the end of the month of July? I DO NOT KNOW! But in view of the time in which we are living right now it is certainly worth considering by God’s people." Pastor F. M. Riley

> Do a study on Zechariah 5:5-11. Why does the Lord want us to know in Zechariah 5:6, by His interrpreting angel, what "their appearance is through all the earth"? We shouldn't expect to see the "literal depiction" flying through the air. I expect we are to see "something" that looks the same everywhere on Earth.

> You must remember that God says over 450 times in the Bible, "Do Not Fear". As Christians, we put our faith and trust in God.

> From Chris G: My head is spinning a bit, so I'll try to keep this as brief as possible while still getting the point clearly across.

> Wheat And Tares. Think about this: Although Judas Iscariot WAS a devil, he apparently did not appear any different from the other disciples. In fact, when Jesus said that one of them would betray Him (and this was at the end of His ministry), the disciples had to ask Jesus who that person was. Ever wonder how many Judas Iscariots there are in the world? Can we distinguish between Satan's seeds (tares) and God's seeds(unregenerated men)? Will their ends be the same at the harvest (end of the world)? Are there more tares being born in these last days?

4. He will be an unparalleled spiritual, political and military world leader.
5. He will emerge after a period of great turmoil and suffering upon the earth.
6. He will establish justice and righteousness throughout the world and eradicate tyranny and oppression.
7. He will be the Caliph and Imam (vice-regent and leader) of Muslims worldwide
8. He will lead a world revolution and establish a new world order.
9. He will lead military action against all those who oppose him.
10. He will invade many countries.
11. He will make a seven year peace treaty with a Jew of priestly lineage.
12. He will conquer Israel for Islam and lead the “faithful Muslims” in a final slaughter/battle against Jews.
13. He will establish the new Islamic world headquarters from Jerusalem.
14. He will rule for seven years (possibly as much as eight or nine).
15. He will cause Islam to be the only religion practiced on the earth.
16. He will appear riding a white horse (possibly symbolic).
17. He will discover some previously undiscovered biblical manuscripts that he will use to argue with the Jews and cause some Jews to convert to Islam.
18. He will also re-discover the Ark of the Covenant from the Sea of Galilee, which he will bring to Jerusalem.
19. He will have supernatural power from Allah over the wind and the rain and crops.
20. He will posses and distribute enormous amounts of wealth.
21. He will be loved by all the people of the earth.

> Is there going to be a "Bankster Holiday" soon?

> MarketWatch: In its current issue, HSL reports rumors that "Some U.S. embassies worldwide are being advised to purchase massive amounts of local currencies; enough to last them a year. Some embassies are being sent enormous amounts of U.S. cash to purchase currencies from those governments, quietly. But not pound sterling. Inside the State Dept., there is a sense of sadness and foreboding that 'something' is about to happen ... within 180 days, but could be 120-150 days." HSL's suspicion: "Another FDR-style 'bank holiday' of indefinite length, perhaps soon, to let the insiders sort out the bank mess, which (despite their rosy propaganda campaign) is getting more out of their control every day. Insiders want to impose new bank rules. Widespread nationalization could result, already underway. It could also lead to a formal U.S. dollar devaluation, as FDR did by revaluing gold (and then confiscating it)."

Splendour produced splendour; and their conversion was into the number of the angels, and of the faithful. 2Then I inquired of the angel, who proceeded with me, and explained to me secret things, What their names were. He answered. A similitude of those has the Lord of spirits shown you. They are names of the righteous who dwell upon earth, and who believe in the name of the Lord of spirits for ever and for ever."

> From Late Night Lisa: As you know, Gail and I are strong, Bible-believing Christians. The Bible teaches in Revelations that when the trumpet sounds, end time events proceed rapidly. I have an exciting story to share. This happened to my sister Gail’s sister-in-law, Pud’s friend in Florida. The friend is a bus driver. She was taking the bus back to the garage last Thurs (June 25, 2009) when she saw an old man standing beside the road. God told her to pick him up, but she wasn’t sure it was God, and that is against regulations so she drove past him. God strongly told her to drive around the block and to pick him up, so she did. When he got on the bus, he kind of freaked her out because he didn’t take a seat, but stood behind her. He said, God told me to tell you that Gabriel’s lips are on the trumpet. She turned to look at him, and he was gone. She was pretty shook up (she is a strong Christian, but even so . . .) and it caused her to drive erratically. A policeman stopped her. She said, Oh, Officer. I am not drunk and I don’t do drugs! I just had an unbelievable experience, and it really got to me. She proceeded to tell the policeman her story. His response was unbelievable. He said, Lady, that’s the third time I have heard this same story.Same situations reported from Share International or the "Maitryea" Camp.

In addition, I believe he is intimately linked with Baal, Osiris/Isis and Semiramis, which summarily can be linked to Apollo, if I am not mistaken. Josephus wrote -- "Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it were through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness. He also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his power… Now the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod, and to esteem it a piece of cowardice to submit to God; and they built a tower, neither sparing any pains, nor being in any degree negligent about the work: and, by reason of the multitude of hands employed in it, it grew very high, sooner than any one could expect; but the thickness of it was so great, and it was so strongly built, that thereby its great height seemed, upon the view, to be less than it really was. It was built of burnt brick, cemented together with mortar, made of bitumen, that it might not be liable to admit water. When God saw that they acted so madly, he did not resolve to destroy them utterly, since they were not grown wiser by the destruction of the former sinners; but he caused a tumult among them, by producing in them diverse languages, and causing that, through the multitude of those languages, they should not be able to understand one another. The place wherein they built the tower is now called Babylon, because of the confusion of that language which they readily understood before; for the Hebrews mean by the word Babel, confusion…"

> It is fair to say that the patriarch Enoch was as well known to the ancients as he is obscure to modern Bible reaclers. Besides giving his age (365 years), the book of Genesis says of him only that he "walked with God," and afterward "he was not, because God had taken him" (Genesis 5:24). This exalted way of life and mysterious demise made Enoch into a figure of considerable fascination, and a cycle of legends grew up around him. Many of the legends about Enoch were collected already in ancient times in several long anthologies. The most important such anthology, and the oldest, is known simply as The Book of Enoch, comprising over one hundred chapters. It still survives in its entirety (although only in the Ethiopic language) and forms an important source for the thought of Judaism in the last few centuries B.C.E. Significantly, the remnants of several almost complete copies of The Book of Enoch in Aramaic were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, and it is clear that whoever collected the scrolls considered it a vitally important text. All but one of the five major components of the Ethiopic anthology have turned up among the scrolls. But even more intriguing is the fact that additional, previously unknown or little-known texts about Enoch were discovered at Qumran. The most important of these is The Book of Giants. A good companion site to all of this is Steve Quayle's Genesis 6 Giants index.

Incredible, isn't it? All of these things happened (are happening) in the span of just a few weeks and months. If you ask me, it seems like those labor pains are almost over.

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

Keep looking up!

Well, isn't this little tidbit quite interesting?

While doing some summer cleaning (more on that soon) I tripped over a link to a website called The Cool Jew (as if there are any "uncool" Jews as far as students of Bible prophecy are concerned! HA) that had a column from October 2008 titled "Why Moshiach Is Coming In 2009" -- a MUST READ!

First things first...Who is Moshiach sometimes written as Mashiach? Moshiach/Mashiach is the phrase that "Messiah" comes from. It's a Hebrew word meaning "the anointed one". Moshiach/Mashiach is the number-one belief in Judaism, next to Torah and God Himself. It is Belief #12 of Maimonides' Thirteen Principles of Faith. Here's an excellent description from one website that should provide you with all you need to know:

For when Moshiach comes, the world will rise to perfection. Moshiach is not the relocation of Jews from many places to one place; Moshiach is not the eternal domination of one people and the eternal damnation of all others. Moshiach is the concept to end all concepts. Moshiach is Utopia. Moshiach is the answer to "Why are we here?" Moshiach will not just redeem the Jewish people from exile -- he will redeem mankind from meaninglessness, and teach the purpose of life to the universe. No more school shootings, no more pain, no more war, no more rat race.

Good is like water collecting in a cup -- drop by drop, deed by deed. When the cup is full, it overflows its sides. When we fill this world with enough good, God sends Moshiach. God gave mankind tools for good -- the Torah for Jews, and the Noahide Code for non-Jews. Whatever your spiritual configuration, God is waiting for your move -- our move. Let’s work together to bring Moshiach, now. Let’s do good.

Isn’t the Messiah a Christian belief? No, it isn’t. Christianity got the idea from Judaism. Because humans are messianic, Judaism is quite messianic, although the very phrase "messianic" scares people, and rightfully so. Judaism does not believe in Jesus in any way, shape or form. Jews know this. The "Jews for Jesus" organization gets around this by employing a smug psychological trap of a title: "you CAN be Jewish and believe in Jesus!" is what is says. "NO, YOU CAN’T!" is the Jewish response -- ever heard of a "Christian for Judaism?" How about a "Muslim for Buddhism?" Jews do not believe that Jesus was the Moshiach. Assuming that he existed, and assuming that the Christian scriptures are accurate in describing him (both matters that are debatable), he simply did not fulfill the mission of the Moshiach as it is described in the biblical passages cited above. Jesus did not do any of the things that the scriptures said the messiah would do.

Let me stop right there. I highlighted that last part to illustrate the point. This is nothing more than New Age spirituality. To be blunt, the Moshiach/Mashiach is the False Messiah -- the Antichrist -- that Israel is looking for! Plain and simple. Of course, Scripture tells us to expect this during these end times. So, with that in mind, feats you eyes upon the info I found on that The Cool Jew website and wrap your brain around the implications here for us and the rest of the world because it's absolutely surreal, and additional proof that time is short.

Here's the column from The Cool Jew in its entirety:


WHY MOSHIACH IS COMING IN 2009

1. Bircat HaHamah - The Blessing on the Sun - Once every 28 years

Since creation, there was only two times that the year we say Birkat HaHamah fell out on the 1st Day of Passover. The first was the year Hashem redeemed Israel form Egypt. The second was the year of Purim, when Hashem saved the Jews from the evil Haman, who wanted to kill and destroy all Jews. This year Birkat HaHamah falls out on the 1st Day of Passover, which will be the 3rd time in history. When it was told to Hacham Ovadia Yosef, that this year Birkat HaHamah falls out on the 1st Day of Passover, he started crying like a baby.

2. Chofetz Chaim in a Dream to His Student

Recently the Chofetz Chaim came to one of his last living students in a dream several times and said that Mashiach is born. When this was told to Rabbi Elya Svei, he said he knew about this for over ten years.

3. Rabbi Elya Svei Mashiach 2009, told to him from his Rebbe, Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman

In 2004 at a funeral of a Rebbe of Mirrer Yeshiva, Rabbi Elya Svei said that Mashiach is coming in 2009. He said its was told to him and calculated by his Rebbe, Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman, who was the top student of the Chofetz Chaim. Incidentally Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman wrote books and spoke about that the timing of Maschiach is co mparable to a pregnant lady in her 9th month, which at any moment can give birth. Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman was murdered in the Holocaust, over 70 years ago, so in his times if Mashiach was so close, how much more so in our times more than 70 years later.

4. The Collapse of the Stock Market, Wall Street, Financial Markets, Housing Markets, Mortgage Markets, Insurance Markets, Real Estate Markets

Bear Sterns, Lehman Brothers, AIG, Merill Lynch, Wachovia, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Washington Mutual, Goldman Sachs and surely MORE to come. The Dow Jones Industrial Average broke 8000 and dropped to a low of 7882.

5. The Iran dictator (Yemah Shemo) declaring he wants to wipe Israel of the globe and definitely has Nuclear Weapons.

Since Hashem sent us a very good President George Bush, who is a true friend of Israel as well as shown that he want to eradicate terrorists, the Iranian Animal is petrified to start with Israel, but with this years election of a new President, who know what can happen.

6. Barak Obama as President

He's young and inexperienced as well as questionable loyalty and friendship to Israel. With all that's going on with our economy and global markets, in addition to Obama's liberal viewpoints, it seems very dangerous to have him as a commander in chief.

7. Iceland & Greenland Ice Packs

Iceland and Greenland is mostly comprised of ice. Scientist discovered that due to Global Warming, the shrinking of the Ozone Layer and the change in weather patterns, the ice packs in these two countries are starting to melt. They predict that in 5 to 10 years it will fully melt and the water (melted ice) would be added to the worlds oceans. This extra water, would increase sea level around the globe by 20 feet. Basically all homes, buildings etc, that are built on locations that are at sea level (which is a good portion society), will be under water. Hashem promised NEVER to bring a Mabul (flood) again. If this is set in motion to take place, then Mashiach, must come before this happens.

8. Brisker Rav

The Brisker Rav said during the Holocaust, that within 70 years Mashiach will come. 2009 is the 70th year.

9. Rabbi Elya Ber Wachtfogel said this past Yom Kippur 2008, was the last Yom Kippur.

He's been telling everyone to do Teshuva before Mashiach comes.

10. Rav Chaim Kanievsky

Chazon Ish (his Grandfather) and Rav Shach (one of his Rabbi's) came to Rav Chaim Kanievsky in a dream and both told him to tell everyone to do Teshuva in order to get ready for Mashiach, whom is coming very soon.

Its time to do TESHUVA!!! The Chofetz Chaim said that people whom are not worthy won't even realize that Mashiach is here and whats going on. We MUST ALL to TEHSUVA and come close to Hashem. Send this to all the Jews you know. We need Mashiach desperately.


Another point that the author didn't mention is that Mashiach is supposed to come the year after a Shmitah Year, and 2009 is a year after a Shmitah Year!

Ok, obviously, it's prophetically significant that there's all this spiritual convergence in the world today and that they're looking for a "messiah" of some sort to save them at this precise moment in time.

How ridiculous is it that on top of all of our findings which suggested the Antichrist to come on to the scene in July 2009, we now have this news out of Israel to support the notion that perhaps the Antichrist is already here and the events of the Tribulation are about to explode across the globe in a major way just as we've been trying to warn people? It absolutely blows my mind!

I'm also surprised this is the first I'm hearing of this. Then again, considering the fact that this link sat as a bookmark on my computer for several months and I was prompted to finally take a closer look at it today after all these months may not be just a mere coincidence after all. Besides, there's no room for "coincidence" in the Christian lifestye, right?

I strongly encourage you to spend some time sniffing around THIS SITE because it appears to be jam-packed with some incredible insights that we might be able to use for discernment. I just haven't had a chance to jump right in even though it's very enticing. You'll see.

It builds and expands upon amazing gems like these:

When Will The Moshiach Come?
> if Israel repented a single day;
> if Israel observed a single Shabbat properly;
> if Israel observed two Shabbats in a row properly;
> in a generation that is totally innocent or totally guilty;
> in a generation that loses hope;
> in a generation where children are totally disrespectful towards their parents and elders;

What Will The Moshiach Do?
Before the time of the moshiach, there shall be war and suffering (Ezekiel 38:16). The moshiach will bring about the political and spiritual redemption of the Jewish people by bringing us back to Israel and restoring Jerusalem (Isaiah 11:11-12; Jeremiah 23:8; 30:3; Hosea 3:4-5). He will establish a government in Israel that will be the center of all world government, both for Jews and gentiles (Isaiah 2:2-4; 11:10; 42:1). He will rebuild the Temple and re-establish its worship (Jeremiah 33:18). He will restore the religious court system of Israel and establish Jewish law as the law of the land (Jeremiah 33:15).

Friends, things are moving at a rapid pace.

Luke 21:28 -- "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."

Keep looking up!

I believe I have found an explanation for all the messianic fervor and symbolism surrounding the coronation of President Barack Hussein Obama to status of World King.

Apparently, there's a Jewish phrase (that in and of itself is remarkable I think!) that is unbelievably quite similar in pronunciation and sound of our President's last name -- Obama.

Check this out:


Olam Ha-Ba: The Messianic Age

The world after the messiah comes is often referred to in Jewish literature as Olam Ha-Ba (oh-LAHM hah-BAH), the World to Come. This term can cause some confusion, because it is also used to refer to a spiritual afterlife. In English, we commonly use the term "messianic age" to refer specifically to the time of the messiah.

Olam Ha-Ba will be characterized by the peaceful co-existence of all people (Isaiah 2:4). Hatred, intolerance, and war will cease to exist. Some authorities suggest that the laws of nature will change, so that predatory beasts will no longer seek prey and agriculture will bring forth supernatural abundance (Isaiah 11:6-11:9). Others, however, say that these statements are merely an allegory for peace and prosperity.

All of the Jewish people will return from their exile among the nations to their home in Israel (Isaiah 11:11-12; Jeremiah 23:8; 30:3; Hosea 3:4-5). The law of the Jubilee will be reinstated.
In the Olam Ha-Ba, the whole world will recognize the Jewish God as the only true God, and the Jewish religion as the only true religion (Isaiah 2:3; 11:10; Micah 4:2-3; Zechariah 14:9). There will be no murder, robbery, competition, or jealousy. There will be no sin (Zephaniah 3:13).

Sacrifices will continue to be brought in the Temple, but these will be limited to thanksgiving offerings, because there will be no further need for expiatory offerings.


Wow! Talking about the Holy Spirit lifting the veil for us in fulfillment of the prophecy contained within Daniel 12:4!

I'm speechless. Ok, that's a lie. I was speechless until this info led me to another new discovery that will be posted here in just a few minutes from now.

I think I may have just inadvertently come across a new understanding of the end times courtesy of my last column on the Mark of the Beast prophecy.

While there's no disputing that we're quickly moving towards an environment where the Mark of the Beast technology and system of complete control by the Antichrist is almost a reality, what is always in constant dispute is the subject of the Rapture as well as the sequence of events during the Tribulation and Great Tribulation.

Before I get too far ahead of myself, let's lay the foundation first by simply affirming that when the day comes that the Mark of the Beast system is rolled out on a global scale it will be a major fulfillment of end times prophecy.



Revelation 13:16-18 -- "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

Revelation 14:9-12 -- "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

According to the Scriptures, the "mark of the beast" is received on the right hand or forehead. With modern technology, it is very possible that this mark may be directly linked with a computer chip. But regardless if it is or isn't, everyone who is living immediately before the return of Christ will be forced to take this mark in order to buy or sell anything.

As the mark will definitely be issued one day, as Scripture declares, the eternal destiny for all who receive that mark will also be in accordance with Scripture! Do not be deceived about this. If you are a Christian, you MUST NOT take this mark or you, too, will miss the Kingdom of God and suffer eternal torment over this single act of disobedience, according to Scripture!

The people who make the eternal mistake of receiving the mark and worshiping the beast and/or his image will be deceived by accompanying miraculous signs and wonders:

Revelation 19:20 -- "But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur"

Revelation 13:13-15 -- "And he doeth 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; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 -- "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

I'm sure that all of you are quite familiar with my position on the Rapture (and how it has been in flux over these past few months). Well, I just discovered something for the first time today in my studies that made me do a double take.

Those who refuse to receive the mark of the beast and worship his image are referred to in the following passage. These are the same ones who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus, right?

Revelation 20:4-6 -- "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."

Please notice, the "first resurrection" will not occur until the mark of the beast is made available! Am I reading that correctly? The first resurrection is for those who have done good and will rise to live, as opposed to those who have done evil and will rise to be condemned (John 5:29).

What this leaves us with then (assuming I;m interpreting this properly) is the following:

NONE OF US WILL ESCAPE A PERSONAL DECISION REGARDING THE MARK OF THE BEAST THROUGH A PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE!

Is this accurate? If not, what am I missing or overlooking here because this is burdening my spirit heavily today since coming across it. Perhaps, given what I believe about the "Three Raptures Scenario", that line above should be changed slightly to read:

MOST OF US WILL NOT ESCAPE A PERSONAL DECISION REGARDING THE MARK OF THE BEAST THROUGH A PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE!



Regarding "that day" or "our being gathered to him" (2 Thessalonians 2:1), the Bible says:

2 Thessalonians 2:3 -- "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"

Those who remain faithful to the Lord Jesus will refuse this mark, but will be beheaded as a result. This same fate for the God fearing who endure to the end is also mentioned in the following passage with another possibility for "the saints":

Revelation 13:7-10 -- "And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."

Is this a legitimate revelation? Has this always been the case, has it always been there, and has this always been the interpretation here? If so, how did I miss it all this time? Where do I go from here?

Like I've said on many occasions, I'm not above admitting when I've been wrong in my understanding of God's Word. Then again, how can I ever really expect to fully understand every intricate detail? Still, I'm fascinated by the way in which the Holy Spirit shows me such things that I never noticed before. To me, that's always an amazing process!

Rather than react fearfully or become all unhinged by the implications, I will continue to remain close to the Lord in prayer and wait to see what He reveals to me about all of this. Of course, I'll also be curious to see what the rest of you have to say about it too. Stay tuned.

REGARDLESS WHAT HAPPENS, OR WHETHER I'M RIGHT OR WRONG, DO NOT TAKE THE MARK WHATEVER YOU DO!

There will be many who will accept it during that time. Great pressure will be on you also to conform to their example especially for the sake of your family say your children. In addition, miracles from satanic power will deceive many into taking the mark.

YOU MUST REMAIN TRUE TO GOD EVEN IF THE PUNISHMENT IS THAT YOU GET BEHEADED OR GO INTO CAPTIVITY AS A CONSEQUENCE. YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY HANGS IN THE BALANCE WITH THIS SINGLE ACT!

Pass this vital information on to other people with whom you are acquainted. If we are the last generation like I believe that we are, then this could be the most important message they will ever receive.

In the end, it may make the difference in where they will spend all of eternity.

This is one of those stories that makes you wonder.

This was reported by Cryptogon way back in March, but it's worth mentioning given how quickly we seem to be approaching the full unveiling and implementation of the Mark of the Beast technology and system.

The original story was published in The New Yorker, and this is Cryptogon's analysis:

While profiling White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for The New Yorker, Ryan Lizza saw something interesting in Emanuel’s office. It’s mentioned only in passing:

"Next to his computer monitor is a smaller screen that looks like a handheld G.P.S. device and tells Emanuel where the President and senior White House officials are at all times."

So, Obama, Biden, and other "senior White House officials" are lojacked? It makes sense that they’d be wearing/carrying something (or is it, as seems likely, an injected RFID chip?) that always gives their location in case of kidnapping, medical emergency, etc.

But here’s the kicker: The device is obviously giving off a signal, which is how it can be tracked, and that signal could theoretically be intercepted by unauthorized parties. And it could probably be blocked, faked, etc.

One of the main objections to Obama keeping his BlackBerry is that the signal could be used to track him. Now that he’s keeping it, he’s trackable in two ways. Undoubtedly, strong measures have been taken to prevent his trackability via the BlackBerry or the monitoring device. But in the case of the latter, it’s supposed to monitor his movements. Its whole purpose is to let certain people know where he is at any given moment. Thus, the signal can’t be completely blocked because then it would be useless.

More questions: Who besides Emanuel is authorized to have the receivers showing the real-time location of the country’s leaders? How many receivers are there?

Pure speculation? Of course, but it still doesn't mean that it's not entirely plausible especially now as current events are herding us towards this coming reality.

Plus, let's not forget the stunning revelation by Vice President Joe Biden (doesn't he have a lot of those?) during the Supreme Court confirmation hearings for John Roberts:



Not to be outdone is Corporate America, which has also started laying the groundwork for this kind of technology even if it is being done subtly. Then again, isn't that just like the Subtle Serpent?

Here's a child safety ad for Duracell's BrickHouse Child Locator:



To be fair, they don’t show the transmitter. It could very well be some sort of necklace or cell phone chip, but can we really rule out the "best option" being sold to us will be an RFID implantable chip?

Folks, we're quickly moving towards an environment where these sorts of things become part of our everyday life. More importantly, when that day comes it will be a major fulfillment of end times prophecy.

Revelation 13:16-18 -- "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

Revelation 14:9-12 -- "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

According to the Scriptures, the "mark of the beast" is received on the right hand or forehead. With modern technology, it is very possible that this mark may be directly linked with a computer chip. But regardless if it is or isn't, everyone who is living immediately before the return of Christ will be forced to take this mark in order to buy or sell anything.

As the mark will definitely be issued one day, as Scripture declares, the eternal destiny for all who receive that mark will also be in accordance with Scripture! Do not be deceived about this. If you are a Christian, you MUST NOT take this mark or you, too, will miss the Kingdom of God and suffer eternal torment over this single act of disobedience, according to Scripture!

The people who make the eternal mistake of receiving the mark and worshiping the beast and/or his image will be deceived by accompanying miraculous signs and wonders:

Revelation 19:20 -- "But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur"

Yes, the Mark of the Beast system of control is close. Even so, fight fear with faith.

I read something a little disturbing today on the Indiana Preppers Network.

They had referenced a recent interview with the UN's Swine Flu Chief Keiji Fukuda.



Seems like the deaths worldwide are up to 800 now and just the other day they were at 700, but countries no longer have to keep tabs on how many cases there are.

The most notable info to emerge from the piece?

Chan, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO), is on leave until August? What!?! This whole thing gets even stranger though because this article even hints (an NLP tactic) that maybe women should wait to become pregnant if possible. Gosh!

Let's not forget that the WHO earlier estimated that as many as 2 billion people could become infected over the next two years -- nearly one-third of the world population.

That's directly in line with what the Satanic agents of this would who promote population control want, and directly in line with the only thing that matters -- God's Word -- since we find that number "one third" mentioned quite a bit in the Book of Revelation.

As one commenter to the source article wrote: "The U.S. has already topped over 1 million cases? I haven't heard much of the Swine Flu on TV lately so that's odd. And what about the comment "if the vaccine works", deaths could be curtailed? First, how did the U.S. go from 10-20 thousand cases to over a million and I know of no one who has gotten it, let alone of a-friend-of-a-friend, etc.? And the experts and author of this news story do not know if the vaccine will even work, and yet they want to give it to first responders and pregnant women? Sure."

Not to be outdone was another commenter: "The flu won't really 'kick in' until the Obamarxist gets his Health Care Bill passed. The way I see it, the government needs to have control over your Health Care, and, in particular, your medical records in order to proceed with their forced vaccine program. If they can't seize control of and electronify your medical records, they can't possibly keep track of mass vaccinations. These are all just puzzle pieces...wait for the ugly picture to form and become obvious."


With each passing day it seems to becoming more and more obvious that our suspicions about the man-made "Swine Flu" and what The-Powers-That-Be plan to do by using it to distribute "mandatory mass vaccinations" is spot on.

Even so, fight fear with faith.

For those who missed it, last night's show I did with C.J. Hampton and Mario is posted in the Archives section of The Sword Of The Spirit's page.

However, you can listen to the audio here:



We spent a good 1 hour and 15 minutes covering a lot of ground so please take the time to listen and get caught up to speed on several recent news items with the potential to have prophetic significance.

Thanks again to both C.J. and Mario for having me on as their Guest and congratulations on their new endeavor together.

I also want to thank those of you who continue to support them and me. Your encouragement, prayers, and time spent engaged in the various discussions here or there means a lot and I thank the Lord for you every day.

Please spread the word to loved ones and anyone else who will listen that they need to make a decision for Jesus Christ today and begin living a life that's committed to Him and only Him first and foremost because you may never get a second chance to make a life-long impact.

God bless you all.

With all the busyness of a hectic weekend I never got a chance to properly inform you all of my invitation to appear on an excellent radio show that's part of the popular Revelations Radio Network.

If you're not too familiar with them (or their ministries and the hosts who run them), please do yourself a favor and check them out today.



One in particular is a show called "Sword Of The Spirit" hosted by C.J. Hampton. C.J. is a remarkable man of God (and a new friend) who is putting himself out there on the front lines for truth in this late and urgent hour on a regular basis. In essence, he attempts to lift brothers and sisters up in a world that wants to drag us down.

If you are looking for someone who will try to cover current events from politics to pop culture through the perspective of prophecy, then he's your guy! He tries to cover it all and does an incredible job.

I like the fact that he is so well-versed in the truth of the Holy Scriptures and that he is so conscious of the fact that the last days prophecies are being fulfilled all around us on a daily basis.

His ministry seeks to expose the darkness with the light as he puts today's headlines in context with what we as Christians know is coming soon -- very soon.

It's a thrill to be invited back onto his show for the second time so that I could, hopefully, demonstrate to listeners that we are both cut from the same cloth in our efforts to serve as watchmen who simply want to alert others to the truth about what's really going on in our world today.


DATE: Monday 7/27/2009

TIME: 10:00pm Eastern - 9:00pm Central - 7:00pm Pacific

SHOW INFO: We plan to cover as much ground as the Lord allows us to in this late and urgent hour! Specifically, we'll be discussing the current FEMA NLE drill, the latest from Maitreya and Share International, and even touch upon recent news regarding the so-called "Alien/UFO" phenomenon and "Full Disclosure". Needless to say, we'll be attempting to expose a lot so please tune in.


I hope you can join us tonight for what promises to be an enlightening and informative discussion.

Please pray for the Holy Spirit's to lead us.

Tomorrow is when FEMA will launch an unprecedented exercise and training maneuver called the National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09).

It's scheduled for July 27 - July 31, 2009, and NLE 09 will be the first major exercise conducted by the United States government that will focus exclusively on terrorism prevention and protection, as opposed to incident response and recovery.

In addition, broad regional participation of state, tribal, local, and private sector is anticipated. This year the United States welcomes the participation of Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom in NLE 09. That's right! Foreign powers on American soil "assisting" us during this exercise.

The NLE 09 scenario will begin in the aftermath of a notional terrorist event outside of the United States, and exercise play will center on preventing subsequent efforts by the terrorists to enter the United States and carry out additional attacks. Hmmm, you mean like if events unfolded in the Middle East to fulfill the Gog-Magog War leaving us over here wondering if we were next?

This scenario enables participating senior officials to focus on issues related to preventing terrorist events domestically and protecting U.S. critical infrastructure.NLE 09 will allow terrorism prevention efforts to proceed to a logical end (successful or not), with no requirement for response or recovery activities.

Obviously, I thought it would be appropriate to make a few more casual observations where I could find them. Let's start with a look at the agency's department logo.



Wow! A pyramid, huh? Wait, what's that phrase there?

What does pace ac bello merita mean? Although it is often claimed to mean "Service in peace and war", actually it should translate as: "peace and also war are just" (are right, deserved, of value etc.) For "merita" to translate as "good service" it would be at the start of the sentence as: "Merita in pace ac bello" in a similar manner to "requiescat in pace" (source).

So, is FEMA a friend or foe? Why am I even suggesting the latter about a government agency whose sole purpose is to serve the very people it is designed to assist during emergencies?

Because I found this in my research too:

Every recent major catastrophic event, including 9/11, the Madrid bombings, and the London bombings, occurred simultaneously with a dress rehearsal drill mocking the actual incidents themselves! This managed to confuse everyone normally involved with preventing or minimizing such an event. Guess what? A major set of FEMA training exercises is scheduled for 27 July, 2009. (source)

Just something for us to keep an eye on over the next few days.

This concludes your public service announcement.
