We have already talked about a global earthquake that knocks everything down when we spoke about Ezekiel’s Fire. The question is whether the earthquake is due to the massive wave of magnetism reaching out to earth from the sun.
Does it cause the spinning dynamo at the earth’s core to flip?
Does it merely wobble, causing the surrounding magma to swish back and forth and making the crust that we live on move in dangerous ways?
One of the things that plasma physicists will tell you is that they don’t really understand magnetism. They’ve only been able to observe the effects and draw a few conclusions.
Furthermore, astronomers and astrophysicists have tended to focus on gravity when examining our sun. They think that they understand gravity better than magnetism. In reality, we don’t understand much about either forces. We just know that they are there and play a role in sunshine and solar flares.
So, science isn’t going to help us much as we consider the global earthquake that Haggai, Isaiah and Ezekiel talk about. The exact reasons might be impossible for us to work out.
God’s House To Be Glorified
Haggai 2:1-9 God’s House To Be Glorified
https://israelsaved.com/haggai-2_1-9-gods-house-to-be-glorified/
6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
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.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
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.
[This ‘glory of this latter house’ provides a conundrum. Is it speaking of the coming of Christ? Or, of the Redemption of Israel and a future building that will be for the worship of God through Christ Jesus?]
Haggai presents us with a really confusing passage. And, it’s not the first time that we’ve seen an important prophecy inserted in the middle of another one. Zechariah 9:9 speaks of Jesus, but then goes on to talk about Zion fighting the sons of Greece.
Furthermore, Haggai was speaking during the building of the Second Temple. When he says…
“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.“
Does God actually mean the Second Temple?
Because it was completely and utterly destroyed, with absolutely nothing left – except the retaining wall that Herod built.
Also, it’s interesting that the word that God uses for ‘latter’ also means ‘last’. And, the word chosen for ‘the former’ is actually ‘the first’.
And, when did verses six and seven occur?
Because we have no record of a global earthquake, or of the desire of all nations being towards the second temple. Oh, but I made a mistake. I used the word ‘temple’. God, speaking through Haggai, says, “house.”
After God shakes the heavens and the earth… after the nations have been shaken …the desire of all nations will be towards the house at Jerusalem. And eventually, the Antichrist will desire it and place his image there.
Isaiah 40 Comfort to Jerusalem
Isaiah 40 Comfort to Jerusalem
https://israelsaved.com/isaiah-40-comfort-to-jerusalem/
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.
3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
This is yet another conundrum. It speaks of things that have happened and will happen. And we see some of this in John 1
19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
– John 1:19-24 (KJV)
Now, why did God make Isaiah 40 so hard to understand?
Well, remember what was said in Isaiah 28 about obtaining knowledge:
5 In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
God has specifically made it difficult to understand what He was doing. Those who are scornful, will never see it. Those who are immature in faith won’t see it either. Only the mature in Christ will see what God is telling us.
So, what is God telling us in Isaiah 40?
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.
That’s the future. But, it’s a future that was identified by John the Baptist:
3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
John the Baptist, the greatest prophet of the Mosaic Covenant, was pointing to Christ. And, that Jerusalem will not receive her comfort, and her freedom from warfare until they accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. And, at that time, this will happen:
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
When it says that every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill made low, we are talking about such a massive earthquake that it rearranges the earth. And, that means that it rearranges the climate, but that’s a discussion for when we talk about the Fruitful Wilderness.
Isaiah 30:18-33 Grace to Israel
Isaiah 30:18-33 Grace to Israel
https://israelsaved.com/isaiah-30_18-33-grace-to-israel/
Remember when I told you that the scariest verse about the Last Days? It’s this one:
Isaiah 30:26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
Well, the second scariest verse is the one before it:
Isaiah 30:25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
That is a global earthquake that will destroy every city and building of any size. It will be complete destruction. And, in addition, all the underground streams and aquifers will be rearranged. In fact, ones that we don’t know about will make their presence known for the first time.
Remember, every mountain brought low and every valley raised up. And, you would expect that to happen when Isaiah 2 talks about this:
Isaiah 2:19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
And that verse is a part of this post that is grouped with Ezekiel’s Fire:
Isaiah 2:5-22 Redemption of Israel and Ezekiel’s Fire
https://israelsaved.com/isaiah-2_5-22-redemption-of-israel-and-ezekiels-fire/
We didn’t talk about that passage, but we did discuss this one:
Isaiah 13 Babylon Destroyed by the Medes
https://israelsaved.com/isaiah-13-babylon-destroyed-by-the-medes/
We mentioned the global earthquake described here:
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
But notice verse 12 which we didn’t talk about in Ezekiel’s Fire:
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
What God is saying here is that most of the people of the earth will be killed by this earthquake and the solar event that I call Ezekiel’s Fire. And, this is NOT about the Great Tribulation. The Medes are the ones to destroy Babylon, not the Antichrist.
It is not possible for all of this to be the time of the Great Tribulation, and the absolute ignorance about this is terrifying. I don’t have many years to live, but you and your kids do. And, the idea that my brothers and sisters in Christ will die terrible deaths that could have been avoided… is what drives me to keep writing, when I should be resting and working on surviving my cancer.
And then, when we get to Ezekiel 38, we have even more confirmation:
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
This earthquake will be global. It will destroy everything. But, you don’t need to die in it. When you see Gog and Magog coming down, get out of the cities. Get to a place that’s flat, with running water. As God said, three verses later:
23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Everyone around the world – the ones who survive – will know that God is the Lord. Just like Seal Six says:
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
– Revelation 6:12-17 (KJV)
I already described why this must be the after effects of a small nova event or a superflare of unimaginable size. And, I said the following in the Ezekiel’s Fire section:
There will be a moment in time, whether through dust accumulation or a strong magnetic anomaly, when our sun will blow off its outermost shell – out into the solar system. The result will be a temporary brightness seven times greater than normal, that will also cause our moon to be as bright as the sun. This ‘outer shell’ will race outwards into our solar system, while cooling – transforming into an expanding shell of dust.
As this expanding shell of dust races past Mercury, Venus and then Earth, stars will be obscured – as if being rolled up as a scroll. It will be like a line of storm clouds moving across a night sky, obscuring everything behind it. And, when you look up at night, you’ll see the stars wink out as if they were being wiped away.
Our sun will also be dimmed by this cloud of dust, and the dust will shift the light reflected from our moon into the color of blood. Also, clumps of dust that hit Earth’s atmosphere will flare brightly, like shooting stars. And, our satellites will fall out of orbit burning up in the atmosphere.
If any of this sounds familiar, congratulations. You’ve been reading your Bible, specifically Isaiah 30 and the last part of Revelation 6. Both of those passages lay out a stunningly exact description of what we would expect during a small nova event.
Here is what Isaiah says:
Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun,
And the light of the sun will be sevenfold,
As the light of seven days,…
– Isaiah 30:26a (NKJV)
The vast majority of ‘christian scholars’ scoff at this explanation. But, they are also the same scholars that have destroyed our churches.
Do not follow the scoffers.
Watch for what’s coming and then do what you need to do. And, pray that God will give you a way to escape what is coming.
