Yesterday I sat down here at the computer, to write an article.  The past few days have been a little different for me.  A couple of weeks ago the Lord called me to a week of fasting, but the end of the fast wasn’t the end of the constraint that still presses upon my spirit.  There has been a heightened alertness that has me waiting for something.  For the most part, the Lord seems to be leading me right now, to ignore the daily news, and He seems to be acutely tuning my spirit and my mind and my heart toward Himself in an attitude of anticipation and waiting. To just be still before Him.  So I’ve spend time doing that, which is why I’m posting less, and what does get posted, has been posted later in the day.

I was struck by the Alex Jones video yesterday, and keep in mind Alex Jones is not one of the folks that I keep up with, particularly due to an element among his followers that is very anti-Semitic, but he and his affiliates with Infowars, do seem to have their finger on the pulse of the “happenings behind the happenings” in the global governance agenda, and his program does offer us as Christians, insight into the thoughts and conclusions of the not-necessarily-Christian, but perhaps the CINO (Christian in name only) and pseudo-Christian and the non-religious conservative element of America and somewhat even of Britain and Canada.

His statements about his own intuition “red-lining” and that ‘sixth sense’ that people often have, and I am not talking about psychics, and neither was he, but that true intuition that most people have, and how many people  have expressed to him recently this increased sense of something hanging over us all, something bad, something monumental.  That whole video seemed a departure for him, in the off-script sort of vulnerability of it, for one thing.  The thing is, I have also felt this.  For me it has been more of an “itchy sort of hyper-alert” that felt like a diffuse anxiousness, that I couldn’t attach to anything presently taking place, but more that “something hanging over us” feeling.   Not that we should put too much stock in feelings, after all, we do put off something when we are tense, which is why babies of anxious mama’s are often fussy.  So it could just be that enough folks are finally tuning in, and starting to get worried, that this diffuse anxiety is truly permeating the air around us, and the more sensitive types are picking that up.  The Bible says men’s hearts will be failing them with fear, from looking unto the things that are coming upon the Earth.

I think Alex Jones is a sincere man.  It is obvious he has some Bible background, (head knowledge) and it is also clear that he cares.  I look at him as I do at guys like Rush and Glenn Beck, as having very literal destined roles in the day in which we live.  But remember, God uses anyone and everyone as He sees fit for His ultimate purposes, and the ones who play a role are not always Godly.  God used the Assyrians and Sennacherib for His own purposes, and he was a definite enemy of God and Judah.

I include the thoughts and writings of a lot of different folks here on this blog for the value of the light it sheds on the world’s thinking in these times we are living in, because after all, at Babel it was the world’s thoughts and ambitions that prompted God to scatter them and confuse the languages, and the sinfulness of man in the time of Noah and of Lot.  Anyway, I administrate this blog with a certain degree of assumption that the readers who come here have a pre-existing grasp on the fundamentals of Bible Prophecy.  I don’t try to teach prophecy, and I don’t bother debating about it.  There is no time for that.

After going back and watching again, the video from the Prophecy Watchers segment on the Feast of Pentecost, which I first saw on The Light Seed, and then posted here yesterday, the Lord has kept that concept running through my mind.  All yesterday, last night, and even as I woke up this morning.

I have heard and read much on why the rapture might reasonably coincide with the Fall feasts, but that video was the first time I had heard anyone relate the possibility of it coinciding with Pentecost.

I saw this “reader question” on GraceThruFaith,

Note the question asked by Jack Kelly, the author of the Grace Thru Faith website.  It seems to me, that if Jesus did fulfill the first three feasts during His first coming, and will fulfill the last ones at His second coming, then the fact that the Feast of Pentecost is the one sitting smack-in-the-middle waiting to be the next thing fulfilled, just as the rapture is the next thing we are looking for, is more naturally a point in favor of the two (rapture and Pentecost) being concurrent, than Mr. Kelly’s assertion that the seven feasts would be divided in a 3 and 4 manner.  God is such a God of order and symmetry.  Three on one side, one set apart in the middle, and three on the other side, seems more in keeping with the way God does things.

Mr. Kelly did say that if the Rapture is to coincide with a feast day, Pentecost makes the most logical choice of which one it would be.  In a Rapture Ready article on the subject, Mr. Kelly says this:

But there’s more. Another tradition holds that Enoch, one of the patriarchs from Genesis 5, was born on the day later to be known as Pentecost. Enoch’s name means “teaching” a primary function of the Church and so many scholars see him as a “type” of the church as well. Genesis 5:21-23 indicates that Enoch was very close to God and was actually taken live (raptured) into Heaven some time before the Great Flood.   Pre-Trib scholars see this event as hinting of a yet future disappearance of the Church just before the Great Tribulation, especially since the Lord said that the day of His coming would be like the days of Noah. In the Days of Noah the unbelieving world was destroyed in the judgment, a believing remnant was preserved through the judgment and Enoch disappeared before the judgment. If these conditions repeat themselves as the Lord indicated, then preceding the 2^nd Coming, the unbelieving world will again be destroyed in the judgment, a believing remnant of Israel will be preserved through the judgment, and the church will disappear sometime before the judgment.

These same traditions also hold that Enoch disappeared from Earth on his birthday. So here’s a model in Genesis of a man identified with the church being born and raptured on the day that would become Pentecost, the day the church was also born. And that’s why of all the Jewish feasts, Pentecost is the most likely Rapture Day

When I sat here yesterday and tried to write, that was in fact my topic.  I was going to write about how this world is so “Out of Order”, and the many examples of God’s orderliness throughout history and scripture itself with its patterns.  But the Lord just wasn’t inspiring me on what I was writing, other than the topic/title, so I put it all away yesterday to return to at some other time if the Lord so led.

Then I found this (see snip below)  page online, and bear in mind this page was written in 2008!!!  During that last financial crisis.  This site doesn’t seem to be totally working anymore, leading me to wonder if the author abandoned it, perhaps being discouraged that things had not panned out yet, but I find it stunningly perceptive and relevant to NOW, seven years later.  His last entry seems to have been in March of last year.

Last Days….”Behold I have foretold you all things”

I have been careful in only referring to numerical patterns in scripture on rare occasions here, because I have not done a great deal of study on that, however, I do absolutely believe that Bible Numerics are a valid system of numbers and patterns present in scripture.  It is also undeniable that some take it to an extreme and find “patterns” that just aren’t there without a lot of manipulation.  This Bible Numerics is not to be confused with Numerology which is an occult practice of assigning powers and significance to specific numbers arbitrarily.  God is the God of all creation, and therefore all the laws of physics and math are actually His as well.  A video about the Fibonacci Sequence by Mike Hoggard, will take your breath away at the magnificence of God’s order and consistency in creation.  (Although I can no longer endorse Mike Hoggard generally due to some areas of speculation he has veered into that I’ve witnessed in recent years, I do still highly recommend this particular video).

I guess the main point in this post is this: Yes, things are getting bad in this world.  We know that just as folks have seen the possibility of a certain approximate time period for the Lord’s return, and been wrong about it, this season of Pentecost could also come and go and find us still here.  The point is not an attempt to set the day or hour.   The Lord did say we would recognize the season.  Since the feast of Pentecost straddles two days, there is the possibility that we could very well recognize an increased likelihood of it, the closer it gets, and one would still not know which of the two days of Pentecost, and certainly not the hour.  Some might say that’s nit-picking, but I say it’s just being precise.  Another point in the article I started yesterday, had to do with that principle too.  How as order breaks down completely on this Earth, and everything becomes “relative” and “subjective” even the meaning of words get called into question.  But contrary to what “progressive types” would have us believe, their simply saying so, doesn’t make a thing true.  God is precise.  He is orderly, and what His Words mean, are what HE MEANT when HE said them.  Not whatever we so choose to believe they mean.

Ya know what I mean?

We are living in somber times, but we have reason to rejoice.  We see all order dissolving around us in a murky puddle, but we serve a God who orders all things and all things do obey His order, as will all people, ultimately.

Sure, a New World Order is coming.  But it ain’t staying.

Sure we can see “bad things” on the horizon, but the darkest part of the night is right before the dawn.  Do I care about the unsaved, yes I surely do.  I pray for my unsaved loved ones, and I share the gospel with them, and any others that will hear it.  Every time I pray for the Lord’s Kingdom to come, it is with the understanding that my prayers won’t bring Him any sooner than the exact right moment.  He has known the end from the very beginning of this world and human history and who will receive Him and who is not willing to receive Him.  In the end every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess Him as Lord, but not all will be saved.  The Lord commissioned the Disciples to go into all the world with the gospel, and they did so, and the gospel has continued to be preached all through the world, and back again.  In the Tribulation there will be three groups of witnesses, the angel that will fly to and fro proclaiming the everlasting gospel, the 144,000 virgin Jewish males, and the Two Witnesses which most scholars believe will be Moses and Elijah.  God says none will have any excuse.

What people are intuitively sensing is the impending judgment.  It’s not Jade Helm.  It’s not a massive meteoric collision with Earth, it’s not an alien invasion.  It is much more comprehensive and terrible than anything that has been imagined.  Because in the words of Paul, (Hebrews 10:31) penned under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God Himself:

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!
