December & the SMS

Hey, y'know, it's been so long since I last posted about the Six Month Suggestion (SMS) that I don't think a few of you even know what I'm talking about.  The last mention of it was in August!  (link)  My apologies for that.  I've been sick, emo, swamped, and unmotivated.  But since I want to talk about the SMS today, I'd better do a quickie recap for you.

I believe that Javier Solana's ENPI between the EU and the Middle Eastern nations is the 7-year 'covenant with many' foretold in Daniel 9.   If we assume that the Tribulation begins with the 7-year covenant, then the Tribulation started January 1, 2007.  Daniel 9 says that the covenant will be broken halfway through, taking us to summer 2010.  I don't speculate beyond that, because I don't have facts beyond that.

SO!  The Six Month Suggestion is simply this:  If there are three sets of 'tribulations' the Egyptians went thru prior to the Exodus and the Jews were only participants in the first set, Then where there are three sets of 'tribulations' in Revelation prior to the end and the Christ-followers will only participate in the first set (the seals).  There are seven seals, and three and a half years.  Divide the seven seals up and you get one seal every six months.  In chart form, here's what we have:

Jan 1, 2007	ENPI :  7-yr 'covenant' by Solana/Trib begins
July 1, 2007	Seal 1:  Diplomat given power in the name of peace
Jan 1, 2008	Seal 2:  Rider of Red Horse  (war begins)
July 1, 2008	Seal 3:  Rider of Black Horse   (famine begins)
Jan 1, 2009	Seal 4:  Rider of Pale Horse:  (death/sickness begins)
July 1, 2009	Seal 5:  Martyrs beheaded for their faith begins
	***  Rosh Ha'Shana '09  rapture of the Saints  ***
Jan 1, 2010	Seal 6:  Wrath of God (see Matthew 24) begins
July 1, 2010	Seal 7:  Mid-Trib Point. Begins Trumpet Judgments

Okay.  Sooooo... how has that worked out?  I'm so very glad you asked!

• Jan-June 2007 - Seven-year treaty begins Tribulation.  ENPI goes into effect.
• July-Dec 2007 - Seal 1: Bringer of Peace.  AoC hold first-ever summit. ((Alliance of Civilizations is a coming together of world nations to promote peace and blending of religions/cultures)).  The church claims this bringer of peace is the AntiChrist, but none of the other seals are people, so that's incongruous.  Further, the Antichrist's appearance has to be BEFORE seal one is opened, because his 7-year treaty is what kicks off the seals.
• Jan-June 2008 - Seal 2: Bringer of War.  I was expecting a major war with Israel, probably involving Syria.  Instead, we got the "reconstitution" of the King of the North, which was the Russia/Georgia war which directly involves Israel, but more importantly is the kick-off event that will trigger the battles that are prophesied to occur in the Middle East.  Perfect Timing, Putin... and Mederev.

 Which brings us to... um, now.  July-Dec 2008 - Seal 3: Bringer of Famine.  You already know that every major news syndication and broadcast network is reporting that there is a shortage of wheat and incredible inflation going on due to ethanol, the dollar decline, rising prices, and population.  The economy is in crisis, they've even finally used the big "D" word - depression.  October 10th was the day George Ure expected a major crisis, and that was the day (no kidding) that we had THE big stock market crash which we're still flailing about trying to recover from (and won't). 

The Bible (Revelation 6:6) goes on to say "A measure of wheat for a denarion, and three measures of barley for a denarion, but do not hurt the oil and the wine."  A denarion was a day's wages... would be equal to about $100 for us.  That's WAY higher than our inflation has set us.  Does that mean that prices haven't skyrocketed?  Heck no, take a look at this chart (that I've been saving for such a post as this - click to enlarge!)  And THAT inflation was in April - before the big October crash!  Two years ago I bought groceries for 3 weeks at $80.  Now I buy groceries for 3 weeks at $230.  I don't know what percent that is, but it's more than double, that's for sure!

The thing that has bothered me is that inflation isn't really famine... y'know?  It's the precursor and the tanking of the economy and collapse of whole countries (see Iceland) is HUGE, but... frankly, I was expecting a major volcanic eruption before January.  I actually expected it at the BEGINNING of the 6-month period, around harvest time.  But can you imagine the MESS if we had one this time of year - what with the snow to pack it and wet all of that ash?  The land would be like cement.  It'd be a catastrophic disaster.  But, wait, Anna, a volcanic explosion?!  Yeah, actually.

Why?  Look at that green verse above again.  Notice something else:  Wheat and barley grow on the ground.  Wine (grapes) and oil (olives) grow OFF the ground on trees and vines/bushes.  I'm personally expecting the supervolcano in Yellowstone and/or Mt. Ranier to blow this summer, or something similar.  (Maybe the New Madrid fault?)  The ash would cover the majority of the MidWest - our farmland - and coat the ground.  But the things growing on trees, bushes, and vines would be okay.

Which brings me to George Ure's blog today.  He's been predicting (since March) that on or near December 12th there will be a massive earthquake in the continental US.  Well, that's not exactly right.  He predicts a massive earthquake in South America (Chile, perhaps?) followed by a massive earthquake in North America.  ((My bets are still New Madrid, Seattle, or Yellowstone, although runner up is California.))  Yesterday I posted about supermoons - there's one slated for December 12th.  And I have been watching quakes and noticed the correlation between full moons and quake activity.  So... yeah.  Anyhow, today he posted this:

"Although the futures seem to point to a bit of a 'bounce' at the open today, the linguistics about the first couple of weeks in December, leading up to the 'twin quakes' around December 12, is likely to be a really rough ride.  And yes, that's why last weekend's Peoplenomics report was titled "Fasten your seat belt: Quake, Famine, and Anarchy".  Just got to know where (and when) to be looking." (link emphasis mine)

Quake.  Famine.  Anarchy.  December.  Hey, I might get my seal #3 yet!  ((shakes head, twitching))  I'm just... having a hard time reporting on these things, because I don't know what EXACTLY I'm watching for, only girded with Revelation's seal descriptions and George's timings.  It's kind of fun, like playing bingo.  You have the scorecard, you're just poised and listening for the number that matches what you've got, y'know?

So I'm watching!  We have 29.5 days left of the year in which to get all shook up, to coin an Elvis phrase.  ((LoL!!))  We'll see what happens, won't we?  I went about NUTS waiting in July... the Georgia/Russia thing didn't actually hit until like the last SIX days of the month.  Talk about cutting it close to my deadline!!  ((Or, if I'm right, Yahweh's deadline.))  Here we are in the last month of THIS six-month period, and I'm sitting on the edge of my chair, here...!!!

Anyhow, George has got me ALL sorts of excited and wound up.  And I had to share why!
