| | The Earthquake Thing
Well, I got some interesting feedback in regards to my question the other day. I'd said that I thought that the 'do not hurt the oil and wine' from Revelation 6 was in regards to an earthquake that covered the farming portion of our nation with ash, but because vines (wine) and trees (olive oil, in Yeshua's time) are easy to find and save. But when my earthquake didn't manifest in 2008, I wanted to know what you thought. Interesting to pick your brains - I value the people who read here, they're a good bunch.
Some of the ideas included: ♦ Oil/wine are medicinal; mercy still available at this time (Lk 10:34) ♦ Oil/wine grow in warm climates - weather change? ♦ Oil/wine are harvested by hand (suggesting possible EMP) ♦ Oil/wine are processed products - stored goods all that remain? ♦ Oil/wine aren't affected by current wheat rust outbreak ♦ Oil/wine represent wealthy not being effected by recession/depression ♦ Oil/wine keep while wheat doesn't store as long/well ♦ Oil/wine doesn't require pollination (is this true?) ♦ Oil (=spirit) and wine (=blood): worship of Yah not impeded yet
And I told you that maybe I'm wrong about my 6-month suggestion, and it'll happen tomorrow. Remember that? Well, I got chided for that one in the wee hours this morning. Don't cast doubt where I've given you something. Oh. Crap. Now THAT did not come from me. And He's notorious for speaking to me when I'm lying in bed, too warm to get up, too awake to sleep. I got the six-month suggestion the same way - in the wee hours of the morning. In light of the latest message, I felt a *little* humbled. Bad enough when other people show up and sneer at me - here I am, wondering and wavering, myself! Sucks to be human.
So... okay, I need to stick with the six-month suggestion, but drop the earthquake thing? But what about Yellowstone? I still see a major U.S. earthquake happening. The full moon is next week.
And I beheld when He had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake... Seal six. You mean the clusters we're seeing could be the precursor to the six seal earthquake... that'll be a BIG quake. When we had the December 26 Indonesian quake, it was an 8.1 and it actually threw the earth off course a little. Could you imagine a BIGGER quake than that? And that was underwater - I don't know how much the water absorbed of the impact. If it were on terra firma, would it be stronger/worse?
When? When is seal six? Well, I personally see that as the time of the rapture. But... Um, let's see, if we're going into seal four (now, in January), then July 1st would begin seal five, and based on Rev 6:10, it could either be that the period lasts LONGER ('til Rosh Ha'Shana 2010 - making it mid-trib), or Matthew 24:22 it would be SHORTENED (only 'til Rosh Ha'Shana 2009 - making it pre-wrath), and I expect it to be similar to the events of Matthew 27:50-52: Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And... the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; (earthquake!) And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose (rapture?!), And came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many (two witnesses?). Of course, if THAT's when the witnesses come, and they're prophecied to witness for 1260 days (3.5 years), then...
Anyhow, so then there WILL BE a biggie coming up, either this summer (September 2009) or the next. So I'm premature in that expectation. Which means one of the above oil/wine scenarios is accurate. Or maybe MORE than one of them... but since I have to stay with the six-month suggestion (meaning the oil/wine is passed), then only three of the suggestions are viable - the medicinal, the worship and the oil/wine equals wealth scenarios. I lean towards the wealth one (because of the economic fulfillment of seal three).
Anyhow, I just had to write this, because... well, He decides, I report. ((<< punny twist on Fox News slogan. Nevermind.)) *LoL!!*
