May the Lord shine upon you all and give you peace in this Christmas season and forevermore.
Where am I? I live in New Zealand and am enjoying our summer. My house is 100 yards from the beach and where I sit at the computer, I can see out in three directions: the sun shining on the ocean and people walking past. The beautiful NZ Christmas trees, the pohutukawas, have mostly finished blossoming now.
My wife and I operate a Bed and Breakfast in the self contained accommodation attached to our two level house. We host tourists that come to see the attractions of the Coromandel Peninsular.
Most often, we can talk with them about the Bible and eternal matters. We go fishing in our 16ft boat and never come back without something for dinner.
Its a great life, but I know the Lord has more for me to do yet and I look forward to the fulfilment of His plans for me and for the world.
Blessedhope asks: May I ask who teaches you bible prophecy >or where you get your under standing?
I have only one teacher, the Lord, through His Holy Word. Psalm 86:11 Having never had the usual Bible college or seminary brainwashing, I carefully study all the Bible, it is a huge lot of detailed information and takes effort to sift through it all. But I have received inspiration from God, as I couldn't have done what I have on my own capabilities.
I have also received visions: about the Holy Land and what it will be like when I go to live there, about what the Day of the Lord's wrath will be like and then how He will bless His people.
Provided that other members refrain from their personal abuse and denigration of my posts, I will continue to post my articles and discuss issues here.
[SIZE=medium]Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Ezekiel 43:1-9 [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]I went to the East gate and there I saw the glory of the Lord coming with the sound of a mighty torrent. The earth shone with His glory, it came in and filled the Temple, the place of His throne where He will dwell among the Israelites forever. Neither they nor their rulers will defy the Lord again by their idolatry and sins. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Ezekiel 43:10-11[/SIZE][SIZE=medium] Ezekiel, tell them about the Temple and let them be ashamed for their sins. If they repent and are remorseful for what they have done, then describe to them the new Temple, to be built on the Holy mountain. Make detailed plans for them to follow and carry out, with all the instructions for its operation.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Ezekiel 46:1-3[/SIZE][SIZE=medium]The East gate is to be kept closed during the six days of the working week, to be opened only on Sabbaths and at the new moon. When the ruler, [/SIZE][SIZE=medium][The prince in the NIV & KJV] [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]comes in, he is to stand by the East gatepost, while[/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]the priests sacrifice his offerings. He is to bow down in worship and then to leave. The people must also bow in worship at that gate. [/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]Malachi 1:5[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Ezekiel, the prophet, lived during the period between the exile of the Northern tribes and the Jewish captivity. His prophecies about the Land and the Temple have not yet happened, as when the Jewish remnant returned under Nehemiah, their Temple didn’t receive the Shekinah Glory. All of Ezekiel chapters 40 – 48, await fulfilment and note that this must be before the Return of Jesus, as the ‘ruler’ of all the Israelites makes sacrifices and worships the Lord at the New Temple.

[SIZE=medium]He is tramping out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored[/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]Isaiah 63:1-6[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Revelation 14:18-20 [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]From the altar came the angel who has authority over fire and he called out to the angel with the sharp sickle: “Gather the harvest, the grape clusters are ripe.” They were gathered and thrown into the great winepress of God’s wrath. Blood flowed from the press for 200 miles.[/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]Amos 5:17, Jer. 6:9[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]He has loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]Amos 1:1-15, Amos 2:1-5[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Ezekiel 30:1-8 [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]Prophesy! The Lord says: Cry out, for the terrible Day is near, the Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]His Day of Reckoning upon the nations[/SIZE][SIZE=medium]. A sword will come upon Egypt and there will be [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]disaster in all of the Arab lands. [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]Those who support Egypt will fall and all who live along the Nile will die. [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]When I set[/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]Egypt on fire[/SIZE][SIZE=medium], the land will become totally desolate and ruined. They will all know that I am the Lord, on that Day. [/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]Ref: REB. Some verses abridged.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]The Lord’s Day of reckoning – a Day of fire, His terrible Day of vengeance and wrath, will be an unexpected and shocking event, that will cause destruction throughout the Middle East. It will be the fulfilment of Psalm 83 and Micah 4:11-12. Other prophesies make it clear that the whole world will be affected and that it will take the form of a coronal mass ejection sunstrike. A really big CME will have all the cosmic and worldwide effects described, but it quickly passes, leaving the Holy Land ready for His righteous people to gather and settle there. The rest of the world’s nations will form a One world Government.[/SIZE]
