An Update and Quick Reaction to Israel Storming a Turkish Ship
Miscellaneous Thoughts on Ongoing Current Events
There are few things on my mind today so I thought it would be easier to briefly write about each of these things instead of focusing on just one thing. Each of these thoughts concern ongoing current events or events that may happen in the next few months. There are multiple things to comment on to say the least…
Future Global Cooling Threatens to Bring Increased War and Famine
A few weeks ago I had a poll where I asked readers whether they believed in man-made global warming. The poll indicated that an overwhelming majority of readers do not believe in man-made global warming. I interpret the poll’s result as a signal that I can go forward with some climate-related writings that would disappoint those who believe in global warming.
I believe that climate change is likely going to be a factor that will help to promote more war and more famine as the world approaches the End Times. However, I do not believe that global warming is the phenomenon that we should be concerned about. I believe global cooling is what we should be concerned about because it may be imminent and it poses a much greater danger for humanity than global warming would.
Iceland’s Katla Could Drastically Alter World Events
There was a noteworthy development about the Icelandic volcano Katla last week. There was a report late last week that there were two earthquakes at the volcano in just three hours. This was noteworthy development because increased earthquake activity is an early indication that the volcano may erupt soon. Katla is a far, far, far more dangerous volcano than Eyjafjallajökull, the current Icelandic volcano that is sending the giant plumes of ash into the atmosphere and disrupting European air travel. Here is a video comparing the explosiveness of Katla to Eyjafjallajökull: Link
The potential for a major eruption at Katla is something to closely watch because a major eruption has the potential to drastically change the world’s current situation.

My View on the Blood Moon Rapture Theory
Update: I've written a second critique of the Blood Moon/Red Moon Rapture theory at the following link I use historical and scientific evidence to critique the theory in that article...
A reader asked me to comment on the Blood Moon theory (also known as the Red Moon Rapture theory), which I never heard of until it was brought to my attention. The Blood Moon theory posits that the Second Coming of Christ is likely going to occur in 2014 or 2015 when there will be four consecutive, rare lunar eclipses or a tetrad. These rare lunar eclipses will coincide with two major holidays on the Jewish calendar in 2014 and 2015: Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles. Supporters of this theory believe the Rapture is likely going to take place on one of the days which will have a rare lunar eclipse.
There are a few verses in the Bible that describe the moon turning red or into blood just prior to the Rapture.
- Joe 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
- Joe 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
- Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
- Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
The Blood Moon theory attracts a lot of proponents because these rare lunar eclipses are capable of turning the moon into the color of blood (hence the term “blood moon”). In addition, the fact that these rare lunar eclipses will occur on important Jewish holidays makes people wonder if something really important is going on.
My View on Old Testament vs New Testament
I personally have not encountered any Christians who downplay the importance of the Old Testament, but I’ve heard and read that there are Christians out there who tend to ignore it. I think it is important that I give my own view on the topic of Old Testament vs. New Testament when it comes to understanding prophecy so that readers have a better view of my mindset on things.
A Preview of Topics to Come: A Variety of Topics
- Blood Moon Eclipse Theory
- The Old Testament
- The Volcano Katla

Revelation 17:8 Reveals Satan’s Biggest End Time Deception
Satan is going to use all sorts of lying signs and wonders to deceive the world. Many people will be deceived by false prophets and false Christs, but this is not the biggest deception that Satan has up his sleeve. I believe Revelation 17:8 reveals what will be Satan’s biggest end time deception which I will describe in the upcoming 2nd edition of my book and in this blog post.
The Enigmatic Book of Enoch
The Book of Enoch is one of the most enigmatic writings I’ve encountered. The Book of Enoch is not in the Bible, yet contains some passages that appear to be similar to some passages of the Bible. The Book of Enoch is so highly-regarded by Ethiopian Orthodox Church that they consider it canon. For these reasons and more I felt that the Book of Enoch should almost be considered like a lost book of the Bible. However, I was not ready to proclaim it a lost book of the Bible because I understood that God kept it out of the Bible for some reason (I didn’t know what it was yet).
I was browsing the Internet on Tuesday morning when I encountered an article called “The Book of Enoch Exposed”. David J. Stewart, the author of the article, posits that the Book of Enoch is heresy and is a book is a satanic deception that is intended to “corrupt God’s word”. This article caught my attention because it was really the first time I’ve encountered an article that forcefully attacked the Book of Enoch, and it is a good thing I found this article because my original feelings about the Book of Enoch were wrong.
The Nephilim Part 2: The Future
Part 1 of this two part study provided a biblical history of the Nephilim. Part 2 will about the prospect for us to see Nephilim in the future. Before I begin, I want to make it clear that I’m going to try to use exclusively biblical sources in this part of the study since I am not an expert on the subject. In addition, some of this writing will be seen in the 2nd edition of my book.
The Nephilim Part 1: The Past
A reader asked me to comment on Daniel 2:41-43which is one of the most interesting passages in the entire Bible. I’ve decided to respond with a two-part study about the Nephilim because some people believe that Daniel 2:41-43 refer to the mixture of fallen angels and human beings. It’s a controversial theory, but one worth analyzing. The actual analysis of Daniel 2:41-43 will be done in Part 2. Part 1 is a mini-biblical history of the Nephilim which will also be available in the 2nd edition of my book when it comes out.
Matthew 12:25-26 Applied: Hitler vs Stalin
I like studying the behind-the-scenes aspect of World War 2 because it was a major conflict between the forces of good and the forces of evil in the physical world and in the spiritual world. The forces of evil backed several leaders during the war, including two leaders that are featured in this blog post: Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. I write about Hitler and Stalin because I believe that the conflict between these two leaders and their respective countries was an instance that demonstrates the accuracy of Matthew 12:25-26.

Is the Possibility of Fiscal Union in Europe Growing?
These are interesting times. Earlier this week the financial markets celebrated the creation of a European bailout fund and hoped the worst was over. I thought the bailout fund would bring some temporary stability, but I didn’t think that stability would last for only a few days. As I write I see the fear returning to the financial markets. The story that has caught many people’s attention today is the story about how France threatened to quit the Euro this past weekend when European negotiations last weekend were not going well.
The story that I believe is far more important and yet is hardly getting any attention is how there is now talk that fiscal union within Europe is necessary. For instance, the head of the Bank of England recently proclaimed that fiscal union is necessary for the Euro to survive.
“I do not want to comment on a particular measure by a particular country, but I do want to suggest that within the Euro Area it’s become very clear that there is a need for a fiscal union to make the Monetary Union work”
In addition, there is a story on a Portuguese news website about how the European Council may soon vote on a proposal by the European Commission which would take away European countries’ sovereignty over the creation of their budgets. The story also notes how the current crisis has defeated any opposition to the European Commission’s proposal. An English translation of the story can be found at this link.
An Update on My Work: Looking for Feeback
I am currently spending much of my time writing the 2nd Edition of Prophecy Proof Insights of the Future. The updated edition of the book is going to contain just about everything I know about Bible prophecy topics. I intend it to be something that can be considered my life’s work if I were to die suddenly.
I am writing at a time when there is some uncertainty about my own future. I currently do not have a real good sense of whether the stuff I am writing about resonates in people. I have a feeling that the stuff I write about is not really going to catch on with people until later on in the future. If the information is not resonating in people now then it may not make a lot of sense for me to continue beyond putting out the 2nd edition of my book. I would like to be proven wrong so I know what I am doing is having a real impact on people. I would appreciate your comments.
The Bayside Apparitions and the Treacherous Nature of Satan’s Deception Strategy
May 11 came and went without Joe Coleman revealing what the being who he claims is the “Virgin Mary" told him. Coleman reportedly fell ill and will wait until today to release what he was told regarding the Second Coming of Christ to the world. As I wait for Coleman to release the information, I’ll share with you some information I have on an alleged series of Mary apparitions that took place a few decades ago and how those apparitions shed some light on the treacherous nature of Satan’s deception strategy.
Joe Coleman Makes Major Failed Prediction
Today is the day Joe Coleman, an alleged clairvoyant and channel for the “Virgin Mary”, claims that Mary will appear in Ireland to give predictions concerning the second coming of Christ. At this moment, I don’t have a list of predictions made at this event. Fortunately, however, I do not have to wait until 2012 to demonstrate that Coleman is a false prophet after he made a major failed prediction a few days ago.
My Reaction to Europe’s Bailout Package
European leaders did not meet their goal of making an announcement before the Asian markets open, but they eventually made a whopping announcement. European leaders announced the creation of a bailout package between 720 to 750 Billion Euros ($962 Billion). The money is supposedly coming from the following sources:
- 60 Billion Euros from the EU's budget.
- 440 Billion Euros from European governments (needs to be raised).
- 220 to 250 Billion Euros from the International Monetary Fund (IMF)
Here is my reaction to the announcement made by European leaders.

Is it Biblically-Possible for the Euro to Survive?
Over the past week the Euro has been decimated with the problems in Greece and the fear that contagion will hurt European banks and other European countries. A growing number of economic and financial experts foresee the disintegration of the Euro or a major scale back in the number of countries that will utilize the Euro. In this blog entry I’ll address whether it is biblically-possible for the Euro to remain a currency during the end times.

Identifying Babylon the Great City: The Future Capital of the World
Revelation Chapter 17 and Chapter 18 tell us about a great city which will serve as the future capital of the world and will be the central hub of global economic activity during the End Times.
- Rev 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
The location of this future capital of the world has been heavily debated over the past several centuries. In this blog post I’ll tell you which city I believe will be the future capital of the world.
One Self-Proclaimed Mary “Visionary” Debunked
Next Tuesday a self-proclaimed “visionary” named Joe Coleman is supposedly going to be given information concerning the end times from a being he and others claim is the Virgin Mary. I wrote about Joe Coleman a couple of months ago, but not everyone agrees with my assessment of Joe Coleman and the source of the apparitions. In response, I offer a warning about listening to people who claim to be to speak for the Virgin Mary by highlighting a recently-debunked “visionary” and self-proclaimed spokesman for the Virgin Mary.
An Oil Story that’s Far More Important than an Oil Spill
The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has attracted more media attention over the past week than any other news event, including the bailout of Greece. While the oil spill is a huge environmental disaster and may expose how inefficient the U.S. government is at handling a disaster, the media should be giving far more attention to a couple of recent studies that warn that there could be a major, global oil shortage within the next five years.
A Detailed Analysis of Ephesians 6:12
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...
Ephesians 6:12 is one of the most interesting verses in the entire New Testament. The verse is about the spiritual enemies Christians face:
- Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
I studied Ephesians 6:12 for several years trying to understand what spiritual threats we face in-detail. I was disappointed with many of the explanations of Ephesians 6:12 available on the Internet since many of the explanations did not go into much detail about the spiritual entities Paul listed. They’ll often say “the armies of Satan are at work, etc” without mentioning who makes up this spiritual army and what responsibilities are assigned to certain segments of the army. This blog entry is my attempt (using Ephesians 6:12) to explain who makes up Satan’s spiritual army and what each segment of the army is responsible for.
My Reaction to the Bailout of Greece
Greece apparently will receive a bailout from the European Union (EU) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) (via U.S. Taxpayers) after an agreement was announced on Sunday. I have a few thoughts that I’d like to share on the matter because it is the biggest news event of the week and I’ve been writing about the situation over the past few months.
President of the European Central Bank Wants Global Governance
Late Friday night I was amused by a report about how Jean-Claude Trichet, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) or the European version of Ben Bernanke, proclaimed that global governance was “extremely necessary” to prevent another financial crisis during a speech he gave to the Council of Foreign Relations.
Looking for Some Feedback
I’m looking for some feedback regarding a couple of things I’ve been wondering about.
First, I am curious about your views on global warming. Some people believe man is responsible for global warming while others do not. I’m curious because I may write more about climate topics in the future and your views will help me figure out whether writing about the climate would be a good idea. Below I have a poll where you can select whether you believe in man-made global warming or not and comments are enabled if you want to expand on your selection.
Do you believe in man-made global warming?
Second, I’m wondering whether I can improve on the readability of this blog if I changed the font. Right now I’m using Arial font, but I know Verdana font is very popular. I’ve created an experimental blog page where I have Verdana font. I would like to know which font is easier for you to read. Here is the link to the experimental blog page (you can vote there too): Link
