MONSTER X-CLASS FLARE!

Good morning, blog readers, from mostly sunny and cool (51 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk under clear skies, I saw the heavens declaring the glory of God (Psalm 19:1) and heard a baby screech owl!

This, perhaps prophetical, headline, from Live Science, really got my attention this morning: “Monster X-class flare launches massive solar storm towards Earth and could trigger auroras this weekend.”

Harry Baker reported: “The sun just unleashed one of its largest solar explosions in recent years, temporarily causing a radio blackout on Earth and spitting out a coronal mass ejected (CME) that will likely collide with our planet this weekend.”

The X-class solar flare – the most powerful type the sun can produce – exploded outward from sunspot QR3842 near the solar equator at around 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday (October 1). The flare had a magnitude of X7.1, making it the second most powerful solar explosion of the current solar cycle. Solar Cycle 25 which began in 2019. The most powerful flare was a monster X8.7 magnitude blast in May, which was the most powerful flare in the last seven years.

Radiation from Tuesday’s supercharged flare bypassed Earth’s magnetic shield or magnetosphere, and ionized the upper parts of the upper atmosphere, creating a temporary blackout above large parts of the Pacific Ocean, including Hawaii. The explosion also hurled a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) – a cloud of fast-moving plasma and radiation – into space, which NASA predicts will collide with Earth on Saturday (October 5), according to Spaceweather.com.”

And Jesus said to His disciples, in Luke 21:25-28, “There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars and, upon the earth, dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the SON of MAN (Jesus) coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But, when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

So, stay tuned, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please, agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Blessings with love, Doug (10/3/24)

THE PROPHECY of ISAIAH17:1?

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (62 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk under clear skies, I saw: 3 dogs and heard the horn of a freight train! Thank You, Jesus!

This article, from Prophecy News Watch, got my attention this morning: “Isaiah 17:1 paints a sobering picture. In it, the city of Damascus is a pile of rubble, will disappear from the face of the earth and become a heap of ruins. At the same time, large parts of northern Israel will also lie in ruin (verse 3).” Now, before you say this prophecy was fulfilled during Old Testament times, keep this in mind, this passage says “Damascus will cease to be a city. It will be utterly and completely destroyed, perhaps by a nuclear strike from Israel). How interesting is it that a new potential battle front forming in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is on the Syrian border? Only time will tell if we are approaching the fulfillment of this prophecy along with other potential Biblical prophecies dealing with Israel’s enemies at this time.” As I often say, “stay tuned and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes.”

And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please become one today by agreeing with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16).” And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven! Love in Christ, Doug (12/26/24)

SAFE & EFFECTIVE?

Good morning, blog readers from starry and cool (62 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk under clear skies, I saw: a bunny, heard a baby screech owl and got a “beep from a truck driver!” Thank You, Jesus!

This headline, from Technocracy News and Trends, ought to be a “wake-up” call to all those who are considering getting a COVID-19 vaccination: “Damning Evidence: Censored mRNA Jabs Linked to 74% of All Covid Deaths.”

Patrick Wood reported: “Dead bodies are piling up everywhere as the world is being gaslit with the largest propaganda campaign in history. The media: Crickets, Big Pharma: Slither. Politicians: Blah, blah, blah. Meanwhile, people still line up to take more shots. This is the evidence for Omniwar that you can hear about here and here. This assault on humanity is so egregious that the public has its head driven into the sand. Don’t make this mistake as a study on the living. Rather, this is a Systematic Review of Autopsy findings in deaths after covid-19 vaccination. Coroners are responsible for conducting post-mortem examinations and have medical degrees, but they are looked down upon by Big Pharma and Big Media because they don’t practice on living patients. This study was summarily pulled from all medical journals, even though it had passed peer review in the first place. Case closed. Move on. Nothing to see here.”

Wood continued: “An explosive study has sent shockwaves through the medical and scientific communities after finding that Covid mRNA shots are “directly linked to 74% of all recorded deaths. However the study has been met with unprecedented censorship. After being peer-reviewed, the study was pulled from major medical journals as ‘fact-checkers’ scrambled to overrule the leading experts behind the research. The research team behind the study was made up of some of America’s leading oncologists, cardiologists, doctors and scientists, including: Nicholas Hulscher, Paul E. Alexander, Richard Amerling, Roger Hodkinson, William Makis, Harvey A. Risch, Mark Trozzi, and Peter A, McCullough.”

As I (Doug) have said before, quoting Jesus Who said: “I am the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6); no one comes to the Father (goes to heaven) but through Me.” On the other hand, Satan is the “father of lies and a murderer (John 8:44).” So, choose wisely who you are following, as there are eternal consequences. Sadly, much of the world, is following the liar and the murderer and not the Way, the Truth and the Life, the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6). However, you can change that right now by agreeing with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). If you do, Jesus and heaven await. Praying I’ll see you in heaven. Love and prayers, Doug (9/25/24)

A HOPELESS POPE!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (54 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 2 deer and heard a baby screech owl! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline, from today’s ‘Prophecy News Watch,’ really got my attention: “Pope Francis Says: ‘All Religions Lead to God.'”

In the article, the PNW staff reported: “Pope Francis has made several questionable statements over the years causing people to debate just what he meant by certain words. However, this time he made it pretty clear what he believes about the exclusivity of the Gospel and now has many Catholics questioning how this man can be Pope while contradicting the core tenets of the faith.

During a three-day visit to Singapore and while attending an interreligious meeting with young people at a Catholic junior college, Pope Francis departed from his prepared remarks and declared to the gathering that ‘every religion is a way to arrive at God.’ He continued, “Sort of a comparison, an example, would be they’re sort of like different languages in order to arrive at God.”

Sounds good, doesn’t it that everyone will go to heaven which is exactly what the devil would like you to think. But, more importantly, Jesus said, in John 14:6, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, that is, goes to heaven, but through Me (Jesus).” The bottom line is that you need to agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Reacting to the pontiff’s comments, Bishop Joseph Strickland, who oversaw the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tyler Texas, until his dismissal by the Vatican last year, said in a post on X, ‘Please pray for Pope Francis to clearly state that Jesus Christ is the only Way (to heaven). To deny this is to deny Him. If we deny Christ, He will deny us, He cannot deny Himself.”

So, please, regardless of what your church, pastor or priest believes, heed these words from the apostle Paul in Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Then, believe Jesus died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven! Blessings with love in Christ, Doug (9/24/24)

RUSSIAN ACTIVITY: PART 2!

Good morning, blog readers, from partly cloudy/sunny and cool (49 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk under clear skies, I did not see any of God’s creatures, but did hear the cry of a baby screech owl. Thank You, Jesus!

Here’s a “follow-up” to yesterday’s blog: “The U.S. military has moved about 130 soldiers along with mobile rocket launchers to a desolate island in the Aleutian chain of western Alaska amid a recent increase in Russian military planes and vessels approaching American territory.

U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska said the U.S. military also deployed a guided missile destroyer and a Coast Guard vessel to the western region of Alaska as Russia and China began the ‘Ocean-24’ military exercises in the Pacific and Arctic oceans September 10.” As I often say: “Stay tuned!”

I believe (and I could be wrong) that, according to Ezekiel 38-39, at sometime in the future, Russia and a host of other countries will invade Israel to “capture spoil,” only to be destroyed by the Lord God Himself. Then, at a later time, China, one of the “kings from the east” (Revelation 16:12-16), will march to Megiddo, along with the other remaining armies of the world, and be destroyed by the Lord Jesus when He returns to the earth to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14-19:21). As someone once said: “God said it; I believe it; that settles it; let’s get on with it!”

So, may we, as believers in Jesus who have been saved by God’s grace through faith in Christ, His death, burial and resurrection (I Corinthians 15:1-4), and not by works (Ephesians 2:8, 9), “get on with it” by watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are still not a believer in Jesus, please don’t put it off – simply agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16).” And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven. Blessings, Doug (9/23/24)

RUSSIAN ACTIVITY in ALASKA!

Good morning, blog readers, from 66 degrees Wisconsin, where a heavy rain, lots of thunder and lightning kept me from walking this morning! Lord willing, I’ll go again tomorrow.

This headline from the AP (Associated Press) really caught my eye this morning: “US moves soldiers to Alaska Island amid Russian military activity increase in the area.”

In the article, Mark Thiessen reported: “Eight Russian military planes and four navy vessels, including two submarines, have come close to Alaska in the past week as Russia and China conducted joint military drills. None of the planes breached U.S. airspace and a Pentagon spokesman said Tuesday there was no cause for alarm. “It’s not the first time that we’ve seen Russians and the Chinese flying, you know, in the vicinity, and that’s something that we obviously closely monitor, and its also something that we’re prepared to respond to,” Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said at a news conference.” Doug: “Stay tuned!”

And, speaking of Alaska, over the last 24 hours, there was also a “moderate” (5.4) earthquake near Adak, Alaska (population: 326, as of 2010). Remember, Jesus told His disciples, in Matthew 24:6, 7, Mark 13:7, 8 and Luke 21:9, 11, “you will be hearing of wars and rumors of war and earthquakes in various places” before His return. To which, He also said, in Mark 13:33, 35, 37, “be on the alert!.”

Yes, dearly beloved in Christ, He is coming. And, even though we will not know the “day or the hour” of His return (Mark 13:32), we should recognize the “season” of His return when the “signs” increase in frequency and intensity like “birth pains,” as He said they would” (Matthew 24:8).

So, let me ask you again: “Do you know Jesus as your Savior?” Have you agreed with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believed He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). If so, you will be in heaven for eternity. If not, you will be in hell for your eternity. The choice is yours; choose wisely! Love and prayers, Doug (9/22/24)

100 POUND HAIL!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (54 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk under clear skies, I saw: 3 deer, 2 bunnies, a dog and an unknown bird take off with my presence! Thank You, Jesus!

This recent (9/19/24) headline, from EarthSky, got my attention this morning: “We’re getting better at seeing asteroids that may hit Earth.” In the article, Daniel Brown, from Nottingham Trent University, reported: “Astronomers are getting better at spotting asteroids that could potentially collide with Earth. We’ve now spotted nine asteroids before impact with Earth’s atmosphere. The most recent space rock spotted before it struck burned in the atmosphere up above the Philippines on September 5, 2024, By identifying hazardous asteroids sooner, we have a better chance to mitigate potential impacts and reduce the risk of a catastrophe.”

This made me think of Revelation 16:21 where the apostle John wrote: “And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent (about 100 pounds or more). Dr. Henry Morris wrote: “The awful scene, therefore, is one of incredible horror and carnage. The violent earth movements necessarily will be accompanied by tremendous volcanic explosions scattering not just ash but large rock fragments over great areas. The only apt description will be that of a hail of great rocks (100 pounds each) falling on men from the sky.”

Wow! Wow! Wow and Wow! And yes, we might be able to detect these giant space rocks before they hit the earth but, based on what we just read in the Bible (Revelation , the devastation to the earth and its inhabitants will be unbelievable. And yet, there’s “good news,” that is, for the believers in Jesus Who, I believe will be “raptured” or taken to heaven before the “worst of the worst.” on earth, as we read in I Thessalonians 4:13-18.

So, if you are not a believer in Jesus, you might want to think seriously about what I just said is coming upon the earth and know that, if you agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead ( I Corinthians 15:1-4) to give you eternal life (John 3:16), you will be spared not only from the “worst of the worst” on earth, but also an eternity in hell. Love, Doug (9/21/24)

PLANNED DESTRUCTION!

Good morning, blog readers, from mostly clear and warm (63 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk in a slight mist, I saw: 6 deer and a plane! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline, from a recent “Prophecy Watchers” program and guest, Billy Crone, really got my attention: “The Planned Destruction of the United States” which I would highly recommend to all those “prophecy watchers” out there who are serious about the second coming of Christ.

Then, there was this recent headline from California: ‘Eh, whatever.’ Angelenos shrug at recent quakes, decades after the last ‘big one.’ And, on the east coast, there was this headline from the Boston Globe (the newspaper I grew up on) : “Sharks on the North Shore? Several sightings off Ipswich rattle beachgoers, catch researchers off guard.” Now you might say, “these signs are nothing new.” And, you could be right. But, if Jesus is right ,and I believe He is, then watch for the “signs” He gave us in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 to increase in “frequency and intensity” like “birth pains,” becoming more frequent and intense until Jesus comes. Then, off we go with Him!

So, whether you realize it or not, the above “signs”: the destruction of the United States, an unusual number of shark sightings (8) in the waters off Ipswich, 30 miles north of Boston (my home town) which startled beachgoers, closed a popular beach until, at least, next week, and caught researchers off guard.” Then, there is the so-called “planned destruction of the United States.” “Who saw that coming? I didn’t. But, I am not surprised. So, if you are a believer in Jesus, “fix your eyes on Him (Hebrews 12:2) and keep them there while watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Blessings, Doug (9/20/24)

THE FALL FEASTS!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (54 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk under clear skies, I once again saw a spectacular moon, “the heavens declaring the glory of God” and a bunny! Thank You, Jesus!

This morning, I read an excellent article which I would like to share with you over the next few days: “The Return of Christ During the Fall Feasts by Dr. Nathan E. Jones of “Lamb and Lion Ministries.” Dr. Jones began: “The Jewish people celebrate seven feasts. The first four take place in the spring and the last three take place in the fall. Remarkably, all four of the spring feasts were fulfilled in Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection, as well as the birth of the Church. Knowing this then, do the remaining three fall feasts point to the prophetic events surrounding the return of Jesus Christ?” To help answer this important question, we turned to Messianic Jewish rabbi Dr. Richard Hill to explain what the the three fall feasts are exactly and to discern if they contain any prophetic significance. Richard’s interviews will be aired over the next three episodes of our ministry’s television program, Christ in Prophecy.”

The Feast of Trumpets: Dr. Hill reports: “I believe the fall feasts do indeed contain prophetic significance. The three fall feasts are: Rosh Hashanah, which is known in the Bible as Yom Teruah. Next, there’s the Feast of Atonement , known as Yom Kippur. And, third, there’s the Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot. Considering Rosh Hashanah or Yom Teruah, Gentiles know this feast better as the Feast of Trumpets or Feast of Shofar. Many Christians love this feast because they believe it concerns the “Rapture of the Church (I Corinthians 15:51-52; I Thessalonians 4:16-18). These passages concerning the reveal that this prophetic happens during the blowing of a last trumpet, or the last shofar blast. A shofar is a ram’s horn. The Jewish people have blown the shofar for millennia, and especially during the Feast of Trumpets.

Nathan Jones: “Because I Corinthians 15 and I Thessalonians 4 tell of a trumpet being blasted to call the Church up to Heaven in the Rapture, could the last trumpet blast be tied to the final trumpet that’s blown at this feast? This year, Rosh Hoshana begins at sundown on Friday, October 4. If this feast is indeed tied to the Rapture, then could it happen sometime during those days or on a future Feast of Trumpets?”

Please know, I (Doug), am not a “date-setter. I learned my lesson back in 1988 when I bought into Edgar Whisenant’s book , “88 Reasons Why the Rapture Could Be in 1988.” Sadly, Mr. Whisenant then followed up his first book with a second: “89 Reasons Why the Rapture Could be in 1989.” Since then, I have not set any dates for the “Rapture” or “Second Coming of Christ.” since Jesus said, in Mark 13:32, “But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son (wow!), but the Father alone.”

Now, I could be wrong, but I do believe, while we may not know the “day or the hour” of the Lord’s return, I believe (and I could be wrong), we could know when we are “in the ballpark,” based on what Dr. Luke told us in 21:28: “But when these things, that is all the “signs” Jesus gave His disciples in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, begin to happen, we might have a pretty good idea.

All of this to say, Jesus is coming! Question: “Are you ready for HIs glorious return? Are you watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes? And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please become one today by agreeing with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). If you do, I’ll see you in heaven! Glory to God! Love, Doug (9/19/24)

MORE RUMORS!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (55 degrees ) where, on my morning walk under clear skies, I saw a spectacular moon declaring the glory of God (Psalm 19:1)!

The following recent headline, from FOX NEWS.com really got my attention this morning: “Putin threatens war with NATO as Russian military aircraft spotted off Alaska!”

In the article, Morgan Phillips reported: “Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that his country will be ‘at war’ with NATO if the West lifts restrictions on its missiles in Ukraine. His announcement comes on the heels of Russian military aircraft being spotted off the coast of Alaska. President Biden – among other Western nations’ leaders – has come under intense pressure to lift the U.S. ban on Ukraine using long-range missiles to strike deep inside Russia. “This will mean that NATO countries – the United States and European countries – are at war with Russia. And, if this is the case, then, bearing in mind the change in the essence of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that will be posed to us,” Putin told reporters on Thursday.

All I can say is: “stay tuned” or, as Jesus told His disciples: “stay on the alert (Mark 13: 33, 35, 37) and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please become one today by agreeing with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven! Blessings, Doug (9/18/24)
