Dear Editor,
We have heard the term, “signs of the times are everywhere.” We also know that Jesus said we can not know the day of His return.
He also said in Matthew 16:3, “You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.” Matthew 25 encourages us to be ready, not like the unwise five virgins who had no oil in their lamp when the bridegroom arrives. God has always warned His people of judgment to come.
Are you aware that some Jewish Rabbis and others who have spent their lives studying the Word of God, believe that a total eclipse is a sign, a warning of judgment to a nation?
His protection may no longer be present for a nation who chooses to take Him out of their schools, kill unborn babies, disobey his law regarding marriage, live lives of immoral behavior and lawlessness. We reap what we sow.
Within a few days after the eclipse, I was not surprised to hear words like “unprecedented,” in describing the flooding. Are you aware that after the last total eclipse in 1918 approximately 670,000 people lost their lives from a pandemic flu?
I read an article recently by Anne Graham Lot. I quote in part: “A few years ago I was teaching through the book of Joel when the ancient words of his prophesy came up off the page. Joel 2:31, ‘The sun will be turned to darkness … before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.”
Most of us are not knowledgeable of the relevance of the Jewish feasts and God’s appointed times. We are not aware of the signs in the heavens that speak of His program (not the astrology that is commonplace). The wise men of the Christmas story used their knowledge of the star that led them to the Christ child.
The year 2017 is the year of Jubilee of Israel’s being back in their homeland as nation (1967). The Revelation 12 woman is seen in the constellation for the first time since the approximate time of Adam and Eve. I’m watching with interest the Jubilee Feast of Trumpets this September.
God is in control and He is Faithful. I’m listening, watching, and want oil in my lamp. “Come quickly Lord Jesus.”
