Comparing Bible Prophecy to the World’s Largest Jigsaw Puzzle

I have mentioned on numerous occasions that Bible prophecy is the ultimate puzzle with there being so many pieces that must be accounted for in order to gain a fuller understanding of what God has planned in the future. I want to discuss the complexity of this puzzle again, but from a different angle.

• Today I want to compare Bible prophecy to the world's largest jigsaw puzzle.

The world’s largest jigsaw puzzle has 32,256 pieces. You can see what the completed puzzle looks like in the following the video:

My Thoughts on the Jan & Feb 2012 Edition of Share Intl

Pre-Article Disclaimer for Newer Readers: If you are reading this blog for the first time or are not totally familiar with my work, I am a 100% Christian writer who analyzes things from a Christian point of view. I sometimes research into what the spiritual forces of evil are up to in hopes of gleaning information to help us Christians figure out what is going on or to figure out what Satan has planned. You can read more about why I dare consider these unbiblical sources at the following link Now on to the article...

The latest edition of Benjamin Creme's (the official spokesmen of Maitreya, the leader of the Ascended Masters-a group of spiritual beings referred to as the “spiritual wickedness in high places” in Ephesians 6:12), magazine, which covers the months of January and February, was recently released. Today I’ll provide some of my thoughts on some of the things contained in the new edition of Creme’s magazine.

Working on Some Issues Regarding Armageddon

I mentioned in my last article that I was preparing to work on at least one article about Armageddon. The preparation is still underway, but I thought it would be useful to discuss what I’m specifically looking at as a way to help me organize my thoughts and as a way to provide you some idea of what I’m thinking right now. Therefore, today I’ll share with you what I’m working on at the moment.

A Nightmare Spiritual Attack That Felt Very Real

I am blessed to rarely have nightmares since I began to study Bible prophecy, which is the exact opposite of what I expected when I first thought about studying the topic. Therefore, one of the last things I thought I would ever write about is a nightmare that felt very real while I slept on Thursday morning.

I want to share my nightmare experience with people in case there are others out there who’ve dealt with what I did on Thursday morning. I hope my story gives people who may have dealt with something similar the comfort that they are not the only one who has dealt with something strange while dreaming.

The Weather Continues to be Unusual Where I Live & Elsewhere in the World

Last June I described how unusual the weather was where I live (Northern California). My area saw wintry weather conditions (cold and rain) instead of the normal dry weather and temperatures near 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Now the reverse is taking place… The weather where I live has been unusually warm and dry for the past few months.

• My area recently did not receive any rainfall for more than an entire month despite the fact that winter is the season where we get most of our rain for the entire year. Temperatures a couple of weeks ago were so warm (70s Fahrenheit) that you’d think it was April instead of late January.

The dryness in my area is expected to continue for the next several weeks. The following map shows a drought forecast through April 30 of this year for the U.S.

My area is not the only place that is experiencing unseasonable weather conditions as several other places around the world have recently experienced unseasonable weather conditions too. For instance,

• Many parts of Europe and even North Africa have experienced extreme wintry conditions (cold and heavy snow) recently. The extreme winter weather has led to the deaths of hundreds of people and has trapped tens of thousands of people in Europe.

• The first video below provides some idea of what people living in the Balkans are dealing with while the second video provides some idea of what people living in Eastern Europe are dealing with:

Meanwhile, many parts of the United States are experiencing drought conditions. The following map below shows how extreme the drought is in some areas of the country, including in Texas and in Florida:

• If you are unable to view the map below, you can find the map at the following link

The reason I’ve brought up the unusual weather is that I listened to an interesting podcast interview last night featuring a climate forecaster who took time to explain why the weather is so unusual in many places around the world and took time to provide a forecast of what may happen later this year in terms of the weather. The topics the podcast interview specifically covers include the following

• Why it has been so warm and dry in many parts of the U.S. while it has been so cold in Alaska and the Arctic.
• Why the weather in much of Europe went from relatively warm to extremely cold recently.
• How a major Icelandic volcano eruption last year has played a huge role in creating the unusual weather this year and how it still may impact the weather next year.
• An early preview of the Atlantic hurricane season, which sounds like it could be another busy season.

If you are interested in hearing why the weather has been unusual in many different parts of the world I think you’ll find the 18 minute podcast interview interesting and informative.

Another Difference Between the Situation in Syria and Situation in Libya: A Large Christian Population

I shared some comments last week made by British Foreign Minister William Hague about why there has not yet been military intervention in Syria. Recall that one of the points Hague made is that the situation in Syria is more complicated than it was in Libya:

"Secondly, the consequences would be far more difficult to foresee in Syria than they were in the relatively straightforward Libya because of the knock on effects across the region”.

I listed some important reasons why the Syria situation is different than the Libya situation including:

• The possible involvement of Hezbollah if Syria is attacked

• The likely escalation of Iran's involvement in Syria if Syria is attacked.

• The potential for Syria President Bashar al-Assad to resort to using chemical weapons against his people.

Today I want to bring up another important difference about the situation in Syria that I did not mention last week, but I think is noteworthy enough to devote an article to: the presence of a large Christian population which could face increased persecution if there is regime change.

Analyzing Whether Domestic Politics May Play a Role in Benjamin Netanyahu’s Handling of the Iran Situation

In my last article I discussed how domestic political pressures may play a role in impacting Barack Obama’s handling of the Iran situation through November’s U.S. presidential election.

• I noted that Barack Obama may be compelled to order military action against Iran if U.S. public opinion begins to favor military action over the use of sanctions on the Iran issue.

• I also noted that an Israeli military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities is one possible event which could cause U.S. public opinion to begin favoring military action over the use of sanctions as a majority of American voters, including Independent voters, feel the U.S. should support Israel if they launch a military strike against Iran.

Today I want to discuss whether domestic political pressures could influence Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to launch a military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Analyzing the Role Domestic Politics May Play in Barack Obama’s Handling of Iran Through the Election

There is growing speculation about the potential for a U.S. military strike against Iran sometime later this year. The talk about a potential military strike against Iran comes at an important time in American politics. The year 2012 is a presidential election year in the U.S., which means that Barack Obama must work to persuade American voters to grant him a second term.

Today I want to discuss how domestic political pressures might influence Barack Obama’s handling of the Iran situation through November's election.

Why Has the West Not Intervened Militarily in Syria Yet?

As many of you probably have heard, a U.N. Security Council resolution backing the Arab League’s plan to encourage a post-Assad transition in Syria was vetoed by Russia and China on Saturday. The veto left many in the international community disgusted and concerned that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad will continue to escalate the killing of civilians.

It’s not completely clear what is going to happen next. What we do know is that countries like France and the U.S. are discussing the formation of a group that potentially may provide assistance to the Syrian opposition. Although some countries are willing to work with the Syrian opposition, it does not seem like anyone is willing to intervene militarily in Syria like they did in Libya. We have not yet heard calls by major world leaders to impose a no-fly zone in Syria or to send troops into the country.

A question that many people may be wondering is “Why has the West not intervened militarily in Syria when they intervened in Libya just last year?” The question is a valid one to ask because we heard world leaders talk last year about the need to create a no-fly zone in Libya to protect Libyan civilians from Gaddafi while today we hear about how Assad is waging war against his people.

• I read some recent comments by British Foreign Secretary William Hague about the situation regarding Syria. I want to share Hague’s response to a question about why there has not yet been intervention in Syria like there was in Libya because I think his comments give us a good idea of why the countries are reluctant to intervene militarily in the country. I’ll also provide some of my thoughts while sharing his comments.

New Crime Reporting App May Be a Prelude of Things to Come During the End Times

I wrote a few months ago about some of the technology that I thought we might see the Antichrist utilize to enable his followers to report to the authorities on the whereabouts of people who follow Christ and/or on the whereabouts of people who say anything negative about the Antichrist. Here is a passage from the article:

I imagine that the Antichrist’s reporting system will offer rewards/incentives to individuals who turn people in to the authorities. For example, a person who turns in a person to the authorities could be awarded with increased food rations. I can even imagine that there could be a downloadable mobile app where the followers of Antichrist can utilize their cell phones or other mobile devices to turn people in to the authorities when they don't have immediate access to a computer.

I did not expect to see the development of a mobile app capable of reporting people to the authorities right away when I wrote the above passage. However, the announcement of a new mobile app called CrimePush has made me realize that the development of the type of mobile app I described in the passage above is possible right now...
