CATACLYSMIC EVENTS: THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS 3/15/11

READER COMMENT  3/16/11

A reader said, "These cataclysmic events are the Lord's doing because He is so upset with His intended."

SANDY COMMENT:  THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS

I think the above comment points out a common problem of deciphering God's emotions and intent in catastrophes.  I personally believe that God is more about removing the antichrist system from the world and establishing His kingdom, than He is about stealing, killing and destroying people through judgment.  The climax is in the book of Revelation. 

We are in the beginning of sorrows as in Matt 24: 6-8.  The earth has started her birth pangs in earnest for His kingdom to be birthed into the earth.  There's going to be a whole lot of fireworks in the heavenlies and thus earth as this unfolds.  His intense passion is to gather a family unto Himself, as separated from the kingdoms of the world.  When it comes to eternal separation, desperate love will go to any lengths to draw someone through shakes, rattles and rolls.

Heb 12:27 AMP

Now this expression, Yet once more, indicates the final removal and transformation of all [that can be] shaken — that is, of that which has been created — in order that what cannot be shaken may remain and continue.

John 10:10 NKJV

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Matt 24:6-8 NKJV

And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.  For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.  All these are the beginning of sorrows.

[Matthew chapter 24 is written in chronological order and we are in verse 7 & 8 right now.  I believe that verse 9 is the beginning of the tribulation, which corresponds with the opening of Seal 2 in Rev 6:3, which eventually escalates into world wide war.  I believe Seal 1 has already been opened.  My perception is that the opening of Seal 4 is the beginning of the tribulation.]

RHEMA 3/15/11  SHOCK WAVES

HEARD:  Steady as she goes.  Shock waves.

PIX:  I saw shock waves going across the US map. 

HEARD:  Life as I once knew it has now been closed. 

QUOTE FROM LABOR PAINS AND BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS: 

SANDY COMMENT 3/12/11:  "After praying over the shaking event on 3/11/11 of Japan's 8.9 earthquake and subsequent tsunami breakthrough of waters, I understood that life as we now know it will never be the same.  As a women in travail, the waters have broken and labor pains now begin in earnest.  He is birthing His kingdom on earth where His glory will one day cover the earth."

SIGNIFICANCE OF JAPAN'S EARTHQUAKE AND COMING EVENTS  3/16/11

Today I heard 3 witnesses in regards to the significance of Japan's earthquake and I thought each one had relevance:

SANDY COMMENT:  Although this video is a warning about the principalities in Germany attempting the same plot in US, Rick speaks the last 4 or so minutes of the video about a coming California earthquake that he and Bob Jones prophesied, starting 22 years ago:

The Spiritual Significance of the Japanese Earthquake

Rick Joyner

Monday, March 14, 2011

http://www.morningstartv.com/featured-video-week/spiritual-significance-japanese-earthquake

"...Another factor here, I think Bob started prophesying it 22 years ago... was that the real beginning of some things would start with a major earthquake in Japan.  A lot of other details, even some the things, part of that relation to is an atomic mushroom cloud.  I dont know what's going on with those reactors over there.  Things are unfolding right now. 

Some other prophetic voices that I think have a good track record, even in the last year or so, have started saying that something was going to happen in Japan that would cause them to call in their bonds, the American debt.  They had purchased so much of American debt, they were going to need it for rebuilding Japan.  And that would cause the collapse here. 

Things are happening right now, we need to understand and be prepared for it.  We dont have to fall to the evil that is going to try and use these things.  This can be turned into good.  But we need to understand the devil's schemes.  The next 2 years are going to be the most critical in our history.  Now I have been saying this but I had no idea. 

Another thing that Bob saw, several of us saw the same earthquake happen in California that was a warning shot across the bow of California.  The very details that we saw happened in the last major earthquake out there.  What Bob saw, I think is accurate.  And many of us saw a much bigger one coming to the west coast of California.  But it would not come - Bob had this part - until the Japanese earthquake.  We need to pray for California, I believe our whole northwest.  We need to pray.  Talking to Bob this morning, he said he things it is inevitable.  It will come, we cant stop it, but we can pray for grace, pray for mercy, we can take the death out of it so that not as many are killed.  But we really need to start praying for our west coast, especially the NW in northern California." 

{End Rick Joyner quote}

UPDATE  3/18/11:  22 years ago there were 3 earthquakes that Bob Jones prophesied.  He prophesied the San Francisco earthquake, incredible accuracy.  It happened just as he said.  The 2nd one occurred and was centered right under the porn studio.  The 3rd earthquake was the major one to hit the west coast of our country after Japan's earthquake and to be connected with an economic meltdown.  They are calling out for prayer.

QUOTE PAT ROBERTSON 700 CLUB

http://www.cbn.com/700club

"Reader Question:  Why would God let disaster such as Japan happen?

Pat Robertson Answer:  God doesnt let disasters happen.  People move their houses where there are earthquake zones.  God made the earth with plates, continents that float on a sea of magma.  Why would God do it?  God made the world and if people want to move and live in their homes where there are earthquakes centers, then these disasters will happen.  Dont blame God, blame people. Why would someone go live in Miami beach?  Because it is warm, pretty, nice and they can sit in the sun.  OK, so there is a hurricane, so why would God allow a hurricane hit Miami.  Well hurricanes are God's way of relieving the earth of heat.  It is cycle that has been set up. 

SANDY COMMENT:  Although I believe God does supernaturally keep all of heaven and earth together and makes decisions on how the earth is held, I respect Pat's practical side of the issue and I agree with living in wisdom and feel that unless one is called to stand in the gap for a city, it is wise for people to leave large cities, the coast lines, and New York.  People who have ministries and businesses on the internet should make sure their domain is hosted at a different city than their website/ webhost, and that their domain is not located on the coast lines. 

CONFIRMATION UPDATE 3/22/11:  Rick Joyner in part 2, also states he believes it is time to move.

Japan Earthquake

Back in 1974 I had in vision of a massive earthquake Japan. In this vision the Lord spoke to me about a financial meltdown in Japan that would affect the rest of the world. Right now Japan is trying to stop a meltdown in one of its nuclear reactors. This catastrophe could trigger another financial crisis greater than the last one. We need to be alert and aware of the purposes of God in this hour.

1 Chronicles 12:32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do;

Change is in the air

This year marks the beginning of change in a profound way. It is time to move on.

Deuteronomy 2:3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough:

There comes a time when God cannot or will not wait any longer; it is either move on or go back. This time of change requires new standards of holiness, a new accountability in stewardship and a more efficient disciplines in place in our lives. Many are about to take new ground and move on in the Lord, but we must have in place those things that will enable us to hold this new ground. A new prayer level, a disciplined prayer routine is required in order to hold the ground that the Lord wants to give us. We need to build a new alter of incense in our lives in order to live in the manifest presence of the Lord.

The cascading ripple of changes in the Middle East will allow the reshaping, and aligning of many of the Goat Nations. Alliances will be made that will forge and reshape the world. This reshaping is part of the alignment of Nations and Religions. Many compromises will be made over the next few years which will serve to form a one world order and a one world church. Compromise is the battle of the hour; we need to pray for our respective Governments and Presidents. This has ramifications in or personal lives as well which will decide where we will be in God in the years to come. The spirit of compromise must be recognized and stood against. We all will be tested on this front as it continues to sweep the world and the church. Holiness cannot be compromised, the watering down of God given standards have slowly eroded many Charismatic or Pentecostal churches to the degree that it is difficult to see any difference between the standards of the world and the church, this cannot continue. God is about to shake and remove everything that can be shaken.

Psalms 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

Psalms 11:4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

Psalms 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

Psalms 11:6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

Psalms 11:7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

The glory of the lord will be manifested in many places around the world this year; this along with the fire of God will be part of the preparation which precedes the harvest.

Hebrews 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

Hebrews 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Hebrews 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Hebrews 13:1 Let brotherly love continue.

Haggai 2:7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.

Haggai 2:8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.

Haggai 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.

Blessings

Neville & Jo Johnson

PRAYER:  Lord we earnestly ask that as these labor pains progress, that You will grant more grace to prepare Your people to rise higher in You.  Grant us Your grace to live holy lives, find the intimacy and comfort from You that we need to live in troubled times.  Grant us grace to let go of all bondages that grieve You.  Forge Your image within us oh Lord.  As we swim in melted pots, may the silver and gold be Yours and may You sit as the Refiner by the fire and see Your image in our pools of gold.  in Jesus Name.

Mal 3:3  NKJV

He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness.

UPDATE MORE CONFIRMATION QUOTES FROM PERRY STONE:  3/24/11

http://www.voe.org/

Perry Stone shared the following on his TV show, Mann-Fest, in August 2010, about spinning nuclear cooling towers spinning and the stock market.  This may be in alignment with what Bob Jones saw as stated through Rick Joyner. 

From Manna-Fest

8/02/10 on TBN

"One of the things 4 years ago, and I have shared this publically and with my partners that I believe is in the making in the future.  I saw nuclear cooling towers from nuclear power plants spinning like a tornado.  When these nuclear reactors or cooling towers began to spin and form a storm, I saw what looked like the bulls of the stock market running south.  It's like something happened to the market."

From Manna-Fest

8/09/10

"One of the things we went last week was another experience that the Lord gave us at night, where we saw what appeared to be something that happened with nuclear reactors.  The cooling towers that spinned which meant trouble, or a battle or something.  And when I saw this happening along the coast areas, there was water so it means it was a reactor near water.  I saw what were bulls, I call them Texas longhorns, and they were all just running.  In the vision I thought stock market."

ANOTHER PERRY STONE QUOTE

The following is another confirmation to what Bob Jones (via Rick Joyner) said about a major earthquake coming after the earthquake in Japan:

http://www.voe.org/Prophecy-Update/the-strange-signs-of-the-dead-fish.html

"I was sharing with the people at the prophetic summit that, in the book he wrote in the 1970s, David Wilkerson saw a vision of a major quake coming to America. He wrote that he felt it would follow an earthquake in Japan."

PERRY SAW THE OIL WELL SPILL BEFORE IT HAPPENED:

From Manna-Fest

8/02/10 on TBN

"On a prophetic alert over a year ago, I began to share with you about being in the state of Louisiana in the city of Baterouge, looking at the gulf of Mexico.  In which I saw a black oil tornado that was spinning on the water.  As it was spinning, you could see this blank oil just falling on the water.  It hit an oil rig.  When it hit the oil rig, I saw the oil rig become a capped oil well."

(Perry saw this in July, 2007)

UPDATE  QUOTES PERRY STONE GIVEN ON TBN 1/24/12

http://www.voe.org/

 “The 3rd vision I have had and it has not happened.  And it was between 6-7 years ago and I would like to share this with you and share only what I saw, I will not add to or take away.

Several years ago I saw in a night vision I was in my home, and my son yelled at me and said, “Dad please come out here and look at what is going on.”  When I stepped out, it was not my normal yard.  I saw in front of me a large field.  I looked to the left of me and I saw a nuclear cooling tower.  The nuclear tower started spinning like a tornado.  And I knew a terrible storm was coming related to something nuclear.  I looked over to the right of that and that tower was located somewhere near water, a coastal area of water of some kind.  I could see the top of another one at the edge of that house and it was beginning to spin as well.  Between the house where I was and the 2 towers that were spinning like tornadoes - these were 2 nuclear towers, I saw 2 trees.  These trees were very odd.  They were very large but they were bleached white.  There was no fruit, no leaves of anything like that on them.

Then I remember looking into the field and I saw something odd, I saw a stampede of cattle that looked like Texas longhorns.  The skin on them looked like the Holstein cow.  The Holstein cow is a milk cow.  And they started running at full speed to my right which is coming from the north and they were going south. And I knew what that indicated. 

Immediately when woke up from this, it was so intense in my spirit I was shaking and I began to try and interpret what I was seeing.  I did know that the nuclear towers where very plain, there is no symbolism involved with that.  The 2 trees can represent one or two things.  If it is nuclear towers and there is nuclear radiation it can actually destroy trees or vegetation, we know that.

But in the Bible in the book of Daniel chapter 4, King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream in which he was a great tree and he was cut down.  My dad told me before he passed away, “Son those 2 trees can represent 2 world leaders that as a result of what is going to happen are going to be stripped of their authority.” 

The cows that I saw are very similar to that brass cow that you see at the stock market in New York with the big horns.  And immediately it is like the Holy Spirit said, “When this begins to happen, there is going to be a movement of the stock market.”  If you have ever worked with stocks, they say the stocks are going south.  It always means its a bad omen, its not a good omen.  It meant there is a terrible disruption in the stock market...

..It has come to my attention from various people that there is a lot of movement taking place in both the country of Israel, also the middle east, also troop movements that I wont discuss, also in the Persian gulf right now.  It is a very strong possibility that weeks from now, months from now that there is going to be a war with Israel, the US and Iran.  If this happens, it will be an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities...

...Based on a vision that God gave me, the Lord showed me that whatever happens relating to this particular thing will go on for an extended period of time. But here is the good news, He showed me in a vision it will recover.  And when it recovers, there is going to be a great move of God that’s going to come to the United States.”
