MADONNA IS THE EMBODIMENT OF THE HARLOT OF BABYLON (ISHTAR/ISIS).  THE STATUE OF LIBERTY IS ISHTAR/ISIS IN BRONZE FORM AND CARRIES HER DEMONIC SPIRIT.  BABYLON THE GREAT IS AMERICA.  THE SUPER BOWL HALF-TIME SHOW WAS AN OCCULT RITUAL EVENT WHICH DEMONSTRATED PRECISELY WHAT HAPPENS TO THE HARLOT AMERICA (SHE IS DESTROYED BY FIRE) BEFORE THE ANTICHRIST TAKES OVER WITH HIS FALSE “WORLD PEACE”.  REMEMBER, I WROTE THIS ARTICLE BEFORE THE GAME; IN FACT, TWO/THIRDS WERE COMPLETED IN LATE 2010.  IT IS PROPHETIC IN NATURE.  EVERYTHING IS PLAYING OUT PRECISELY AS I HAVE WITNESSED IT IN THE SPIRIT.  AMERICA’S TOTAL DESTRUCTION IS COMING SOON, WITHIN MERE MONTHS TO A FEW YEARS. 

IT IS NOT “HALFTIME IN AMERICA”.  RATHER, THERE ARE MERE SECONDS LEFT IN REGULATION, AND AMERICA IS BEHIND BY ISAIAH 13, 14, 21, & 47; JEREMIAH 50 & 51, AND REVELATION 14, 17, & 18 AMONGST OTHER BIBLE PASSAGES!

PLEASE SHARE THIS URGENT MESSAGE.  GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Update 10 February, 2012-

A must-see video follows.  They analyze both the game and half-time show, and their conclusions precisely match what I have prophesied in this article- that Madonna represents the Whore of Babylon and that America will be burned with fire.  Watch, then come back and patiently read every word of this lengthy article.  The pieces of the puzzle should begin to fall into place.  Please!  The destruction of America Babylon is fast approaching.

Update 6 February, 2012-

Certainly, Madonna’s half-time show profoundly confirmed the conclusions reached in this article, all Praise to God.  That said, an in-depth analysis of the blatant and pervasive occult symbols and messages contained within the entirety of the Harlot’s 13 minute show is beyond my area of expertise.  Fortunately, the immensely-talented Sharon Gilbert has written a wonderful piece about this topic, and I send you now to her must-read article which explains the entire performance-

http://sharonkgilbert.com/?p=1722v

Here’s another good “post-show” analysis which confirms the Ishtar connection-

http://vigilantcitizen.com/musicbusiness/madonnas-superbowl-halftime-show-a-celebration-of-the-grand-priestess-of-the-music-industry/

I will only discuss one amazing confirmation.  In the body of my article below , you will see the following about Madonna’s 2790 weeks of life (as of the game) and the word “harper”-

Strong’s Greek-2790 is-

κιθαρωδος kitharodos {kith-ar-o’-dos} from 2788 and a derivative of the same as 5603;; n m AV – harper 2; 2 1) a harper, one who plays the harp and accompanies it with his voice

Essential, a musician, a singer  . . . this word occurs in only 2 verses in the Holy Bible, and in both verses the topic has to do with America, Babylon the Great.  In the first case, mention of Babylon will not appear until later in the chapter, specifically in Revelation 14:8 (“Babylon is fallen, is fallen”).  Here they are; first Revelation 14:2-

“And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:”

Then Revelation 18:22, which is a pronouncement of the utter devastation which America will face-

“And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;”

It turns out that Madonna actually strummed an “angel harp” or lyre during the ceremony; photo courtesy of the Mail Online is shown here-

The Harlot Harper Harpens with her Harp?

The music of the harp is, Biblically, the music of the prophetic.  Prophets would often prophesy with the harp, not only with words.  We can therefore conclude that the Harlot (a type of false prophet) was presenting a powerful, prophetic message through this occult ceremony.

[Original article of 28 January, 2012 below]-

Madonna & Sunday Bowl XLVI-

The selection of pop icon Madonna to headline this year’s Super Bowl halftime show is surprising to many.  After all, critics are quick to point out that she is well past her prime as an entertainer.  But her selection is no surprise to this watchman.  Who better to entertain the Babylonian masses during their biggest party of the year (2012, no less) than the woman who herself is in effect the embodiment of the spirit of the Harlot of Babylon?  It seems that my original article, which comprises the latter portion of this expose and published back in very late 2010, was actually well timed.  The occult elite certainly have their reasons for selecting Madonna; this is a “signal” or an announcement hinting at their plans to destroy America and thereby bring in the New World Order.  If you doubt me, then the words of the Holy Bible should make it very clear that the surprise nuclear attack on Babylon America is a great conspiracy; Revelation 17-

¹⁶And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

 ¹⁷For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

The “harlot” is America, the ten horns are future leaders of the already established political jurisdictions within the near-future New World Order (not a “revived Roman Empire”!), and the “beast” is clearly the antichrist who will head the New World Order.  It is by now obvious to the occult elite that pesky superpower America has to be “out of the way” in order for them to ever bring their luciferian campaign for world dominance to fruition; thus, the conspiracy to eradicate this nation via a nuclear firestorm.  In addition, they certainly have the right Administration in place currently to help facilitate their vile plans, although this event may yet be months to a few years away.

The selection of Madonna, and her performance, may also point to another preliminary event which they plan to precede the main event of America’s destruction.  This is mere speculation, but would be consistent with the way they operate.

Here is an official press release about Madonna and her upcoming Super Bowl appearance, as announced on 4 December, 2011* (bold emphasis C.M.N.)-

http://www.profootballweekly.com/2011/12/04/madonna-announced-as-super-bowl-halftime-performer

The NFL officially announced that Madonna will perform at halftime of Super Bowl XLVI on Feb. 5, 2012 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The game and performance will air on NBC.

The singer, who gained fame in the 1980s and became the top-selling female artist of all time, has had several popular songs, including “Material Girl,” “Like a Virgin” and “Papa Don’t Preach,” among many others. She last released an album in 2008, titled “Hard Candy.”

Madonna has a new film, “W.E.” that will be released in theaters throughout the country on Feb. 3, 2012.

According to an NFL press release, the Super Bowl halftime show is the most-watched musical event of the year. More than 162 million viewers in the U.S. watched last year’s show.

According to Wikipedia, Madonna is expected to perform “Gimme All Your Lovin’”, “Holiday”, “Vogue”, “Ray of Light”, and “Music”.  I would expect that her show might be quite “gay friendly”.  Here’s a quote from the article below, a gossip column if you will-

http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/madonna-treat-super-bowl-a-gay-old-time-claims-dancers-article 1.1011346?localLinksEnabled=false

MADONNA is “bringing gay to the Super Bowl.” That’s what we overheard one of her dancers say at the premiere party for Her Madgesty’s “W.E.” at Top of the Standard on Monday night. On the red carpet, Madonna told us she’s “extremely nervous” about the big game, but looking forward to singing her new song, “Give Me All Your Love,” and some “oldies but goodies.”

Reactions to Madonna’s Selection-

From an article in Advance Indiana, dated 8 December, 2011 and entitled “Super Bowl XLVI Half-Time Act In All Her Material Girl Glory” (bold emphasis C.M.N.)-

http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2011/12/super-bowl-xlvi-half-time-act-in-all_08.html

The Material Girl managed to accomplish what no other person on this earth has been able to do: unite Catholics, Jews and Muslims in shared outrage**. It seemed Madonna thought it would be hip to stage a mock crucifixion during a scheduled concert performance in Rome next to the Vatican. As the Daily Mail reported on one of the many controversies involving the attention-seeking diva:  Rome’s Catholic, Muslim and Jewish leaders have united to condemn pop star Madonna’s decision to stage a mock-crucifixion when she performs in the Italian capital on Sunday a stone’s throw away from Vatican City.  The lapsed-Catholic diva’s latest irreverent performance sees her wearing a fake crown of thorns and descending on a suspended, glittery cross as part of her worldwide ‘Confessions Tour’.

——————————————————————–

*Precisely one year to the very day of my profound dream “The Crash of the Laodicean Church of America”, in which I witnessed a jumbo jet plunging straight downward into a grassy hill, and was then swallowed up by the abyss.  This dream is blogged here-

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/2010/12/18/the-crash-of-the-laodicean-church-of-america-a-prophetic-dream/

**C.M.N. Note- uniting Catholics, Jews and Muslims is what the False Prophet will apparently be able to accomplish, although his/her reign as sidekick to the antichrist comes after America Babylon’s destruction . . .

——————————————————————–

From an article by Susan Brinkmann, dated 7 October, 2011 and entitled “Just Say ‘No!’ to Madonna’s Super Bowl Half-Time Show!” (bold emphasis C.M.N.)-

http://www.womenofgrace.com/blog/?p=9778

Because of her long history of religious provocation, Catholics are rallying across the country to convince the NFL not to feature Madonna during Super Bowl XLVI.

‘The NFL would do well to drop any plans it may have about inviting Madonna to perform during the Super Bowl,” said Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights.  For decades, Madonna has blatantly offended Christians, especially Catholics. The offensive lyrics, lewd behavior and misappropriation of sacred symbols are reason enough not to have her perform.’  Even worse, ‘she has repeatedly mocked the heart and soul of Christianity: Jesus, Our Blessed Mother, the Eucharist and the Crucifixion,’ he says.

Madonna has long been known for producing videos that use Catholic imagery in a highly sexualized manner. The singer, who is more closely related to the Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah than her native Catholicism, also offended thousands with her 2006 ‘Confessions’ tour in which she performed while suspended on a cross and wearing a crown of thorns.

Now, for a rather opinionated and crude yet accurate view from-

http://patriotsunitenow.com/wordpress/?p=75

In the corrupt arena of US pro sports, NFL and NBC announced the truly uplifting, inspiring news that none other than super-tramp Madonna will perform at next year’s Super Bowl at half-time.  So why did they pick the slut who has debauched the morals of probably millions of young girls?  They’re probably rewarding her for all the damage she has done to this country and to America’s Christian morality.

I certainly don’t disagree with this assessment, on the surface.  However, “they” are big on symbolism, and it is because “she” is “the” Harlot embodiment that this choice was made at this particular time in the nation’s waning years (and I say “waning” as in “judgment is imminent”).

A Few Fascinating Connections-

Super Bowl 46 will take place in Lucas Oil Stadium.  An investigation of the word “Lucas” will show that it is derived from leuk meaning “light”, “brightness”; or the root verb meaning “to shine”.  This seems to point to each individual person’s choice of either of two contrasting lights to follow; that is, the true light, Jesus Christ, or the false light of this world, the “light-bearer” Lucifer.  Practically everything about the “Super Bowl” would seem to point to a celebration of the latter.

Madonna was born on 16 August, 1958, precisely 2790 weeks and a day from Super Bowl Sunday at which she will perform.

Strong’s Greek-2790 is-

κιθαρωδος kitharodos {kith-ar-o’-dos} from 2788 and a derivative of the same as 5603;; n m AV – harper 2; 2 1) a harper, one who plays the harp and accompanies it with his voice

Essential, a musician, a singer  . . . this word occurs in only 2 verses in the Holy Bible, and in both verses the topic has to do with America, Babylon the Great.  In the first case, mention of Babylon will not appear until later in the chapter, specifically in Revelation 14:8 (“Babylon is fallen, is fallen . . .”).  Here they are; first Revelation 14:2-

“And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:”

Then Revelation 18:22, which is a pronouncement of the utter devastation which America will face-

“And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;”

This is the Day of the Lord, a day in which “the music will die”.  Please see my analysis of Don McLean’s prophetic song “American Pie” linked here-

And for those interested my analysis of A.A. Allen’s vision of America’s destruction closely relates as well-

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/2011/10/27/a-a-allens-astounding-panoramic-vision-of-americas-destruction-a-new-interpretation-from-the-biblically-correct-viewpoint-of-america-as-babylon-the-great-and-a-two-year-warning/

Madonna was named High Priestess of Kabbalah on February 21, 2005; Super Bowl XLVI is almost precisely seven years later, 7 being a most powerful number indeed which represents “spiritual perfection and completion”.

It is likewise no coincidence that Madonna will be performing in the occult hub of Indianapolis.  Here is what a Midwestern friend told me about Indianapolis, back in 2009-

Indianapolis is a very occult city.  There’s Masonic stuff everywhere; it’s sickening.  I get a real uneasy feeling whenever I have to go there on business.  There is an oppressive evil that I can just feel in my body.  I especially hate to spend the night in that place (since) it’s just rife with the spirit of freemasonry.

Of course, I eagerly dove into some research about the city, and did find out some disturbing information about the heritage.  The Scottish Rite cathedral and Monument Circle are especially occult in design, although I realize that this may be considered almost “par for the course” in an American city, sadly.  Still, there is clearly something “special” about Indianapolis in this regard, based on what I have gleaned from others, and I am certainly looking forward to being enlightened by first-hand accounts from either Indianapolis residents or visitors to the city.

This disturbing video is entitled “Indianapolis‘s masonic pagan paradise”.  I must make it clear that I distance myself from their methods, although I understand the frustration.  Their response was inappropriate, and certainly not the best way to handle the situation.  I only post it here as I was unable to find another suitable video on Indianapolis and the occult.  Here is the short video (Warning – some grammatical errors and unsettling footage)-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ5iXaEcxyI

Personally, I get a sickening feeling and cold chill every time I go by a Masonic lodge or a goddess statue, a repulsive feeling surpassed only by my driving past an Islamic mosque.  Well, truth be told both Masons and Muslims worship lucifer, so this stands to reason.  Despite all this, we are of course to witness to these people and show them the love of Jesus Christ.

The fact that this is Super Bowl 46 does not escape my notice.  Intriguingly, the 46 of Super Bowl number XLVI reflects the number of chromosomes in cells of the human body; that is, 23 pairs.  Furthermore, I have written extensively on President Obama and his Psalm 46 “I am God” outrage of 11 September, 2011, in which his mouth blasphemously uttered “Be still, and know that I am God”-

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/2011/09/15/president-obama-the-341-days-you-know-who-i-am-i-am-god/

So, let’s take a look at the numbers, something these vile ones are obsessed with, but since God is the One who created numbers, it is He and only He who can reveal the entire truth-

http://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?m1=9&d1=11&y1=2011&m2=2&d2=5&y2=2012

From and including: Sunday, September 11, 2011  Obama Psalm 46 “I AM God“

To, but not including: Sunday, February 5, 2012  Madonna Super Bowl 46- she is the Harlot

It is 147 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date; this is-

• 21 weeks

Weeks being perhaps the most important standard time parameter for the understanding of end times prophecy and prophetic clues, let’s check the meaning of the number 21.

Next we turn to the Bible Wheel for the Biblical significance of this profound number, which contains shades of Revelation in that it is . . . 7+7+7 (think seals, trumpets, vials) . . . quoting from-

http://www.biblewheel.com/gr/gr_21.asp

The Number 21 – I AM

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

Exodus 3.14

The Divine Name I AM THAT I AM is God’s memorial name unto all generations.  God defined it this way so that when the Lord Jesus Christ came to earth and declared this name, there would be no question as to His identity as Almighty God.

God actually gave two names in Exodus 3.14.  The long form I AM THAT I AM and the short form I AM.  We have the identity:

 (Ehyeh, I AM) = 21

The Number 21 is the Sixth Triangular Number, which means it is the sum of all the digits up to and including six (number of man):

21 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = Sum (6)

The Number 21 factors as:

21 = 3 x 7

The Numbers 3 and 7 are a kind of division of Unity in the sense of 10 = 3 + 7. They play an essential role in Creation. Most notably in the value of Genesis 1.1:

Sum Genesis 1.1 = 2701 = 37 x 73

The Number 2701 is the 73^rd Triangular Number, and both 37 and 73 are primes; in fact, they are palindromic primes!

I think what we are to glean from this is that the usurper President Obama represents direct opposition to the One True “I AM” and, furthermore, that Madonna is absolutely the true Harlot, that is the embodiment of the spirit of Ishtar (which is moreover found in brazen bronze idol form as the Statue of Liberty).  Madonna’s performance can therefore be thought of as her pronouncement to the entire world-

“I Am the Harlot”

And, in addition, America is Babylon the Great, the Harlot nation!  When you listen to the Star Spangled Banner before the Super Bowl on the 5^th of February, please keep the findings of this article in mind as well as the slam dunk proof which the Lord led to me about the identity of Babylon as America in the Book of Revelation, published here-

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/2011/06/24/the-colors-worn-and-adorned-by-the-harlot-of-revelation/

Here’s an excerpt or very brief summary, but it is imperative to read or at least scan the article to see the remarkable verification!-

The evidence presented in this article truly should “strike the fatal blow” to the erroneous, but still prevalent, theory that the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) represents the Harlot, and therefore that the destruction by fire will happen to Rome and/or the Vatican.  Proponents of this theory like to point to the white, scarlet, and purple adorned by popes, cardinals, and bishops as part of the “evidence” that the Harlot is the RCC.  Now that we know it was actually “red, white, and blue (specifically, Old Glory blue)” which John witnessed in his profound vision while (physically) on the Greek Isle of Patmos this should be put to rest (see Revelation 17:4 & 18:16).  Additional scriptural evidence for America, and against the RCC, for the title of “Babylon the Great” is also overwhelming, and has been exhaustively presented by R.A. Coombes in his 2-part classic “America, the Babylon:  America’s Destiny Foretold in Biblical Prophecy“.

If all of this has not yet convinced you that something profound is occurring in terms of the selection of Madonna at this year’s Super Bowl, perhaps this will.  Madonna was born at Mercy Hospital in Bay City, Michigan, a fact which I discuss later in this article.  The distance from Lucas Oil Stadium, site of Super Bowl XLVI, to Mercy Hospital, is 252 Nautical miles (“click” for larger view).

This is the number associated with ancient Babylon and, therefore, by Biblical precedent with America, end times Babylon, as well.  Here are a few intriguing considerations about 252 (remember, it is a numeric equivalent to 2520)-

1- The “writing on the wall” in Daniel 5:25-26 corresponded to Babylonian coinage units totaling “2520” (source- “Temple at the Center of Time:  Newton’s Bible Codex Deciphered and the Year 2012” by the late David Flynn, a man who profoundly influenced both my research pursuits and my Christian walk).  God’s own hand personally wrote this message/number on the wall of Belshazzar’s palace on the night that Babylon fell.  Yes, lamentably, President Obama is clearly a “type” of Belshazzar-

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/2011/06/03/this-strange-president-the-tuesday-factor-is-barack-hussein-obama-a-%E2%80%9Ctype%E2%80%9D-of-belshazzar/

Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin = 2520

Daniel 5-

²⁴Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.

²⁵And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

²⁶This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.

²⁷TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

²⁸PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

2- 2520 is the product of the perfect numbers 3, 7, 10, and 12

3- 2520 is 360 (days in a prophetic year, degrees in a circle) x 7

The fall of Jericho is related to 2520; Jericho 6:4 (in part)-

” . . . the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets“

360 (circle) x 7 = 2520

4- The word “Babylon” occurs in the King James Version of the Holy Bible precisely 252 times-

http://www.biblewheel.com/gr/GR_Database.asp?SearchBy_Word=Babylon

“Verse Count: 252”

5- The Deepwater Horizon disaster of 20 April, 2010, clearly a judgment on America, had as its offshore address-

“Mississippi Canyon Block 252”

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/the-gulf-oil-volcano-foreshadows-the-imminent-division-judgment-of-america/

This event ties into the vision of A.A. Allen (linked above) and, in my opinion, serves as a time “marker” if you will.  Bottom line for America?  Time is very, very short now.

Summary of Super Bowl Indicators-

My prayer is that you will not see this Super Bowl in quite the same “light” as previous ones you have watched, but rather that you will be more in tune with what is going on in the spiritual realm as evidenced by the half-time show.  More importantly, to me, than your acceptance of Madonna as a “type” of the Harlot is your acceptance of America as Babylon the Great.  This is absolutely critical, and the implications of this recognition are staggering, and especially so if you are an American.  Therefore, if you are not yet a member of the True Church then I must urgently state that it is time to, spiritually, “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” [Revelation 18:4].  May God bless all of you.

With Love in Christ,

Madonna aka “Esther”: A Type of the Harlot of Babylon?- Documented, Astounding Connections to Mother Goddess Ishtar

———————————————————————————

Ever since Madonna exploded onto the pop music scene in October of 1983, a host of writers and culture watchers have pointed out that the mega-star performer might well bear a striking resemblance to the “Harlot of Babylon”, spiritually at least. This idea is nothing new. But, just who is the Harlot of Babylon, biblically, and can we actually call Madonna a prophetic “type” of this demonic spirit or goddess? I believe that we can. The original research which follows will prove this assertion.

The Harlot Shakes Her Body

This research is entirely the product of my following the Holy Spirit in the direction in which He led. I have nothing personal against Madonna; in fact, I used to be a fan of her music. Madonna is immensely talented in my opinion, and she continues to churn out the hits and retain her popularity, although now into her sixth decade of life. I still have in my collection Madonna’s original Greatest Hits CD, perversely entitled “The Immaculate Collection”. Gene Sculatti wrote an impressive introduction to the music within the CD insert, which starts out . . . “The Coolest Queen of White Heat” . . . “An outrageous blend of Little Orphan Annie, Margaret Thatcher and Mae West” . . . “Narcissistic, brazen, comic . . . the Goddess of the Nineties . . .”

The Harlots Blasphemous Collection

I would go a step further and call Madonna the personification of the “Goddess of end times Babylon, Babylon the Great”. This article will demonstrate Madonna’s connection to this biblical entity known as the “Harlot”.

The Birth of Madonna-

Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone entered the world at 7:05 a.m. on August 16, 1958. It was a Sabbath morn. Madonna was born on a New Moon, which was in the sign of Virgo; the Virgin, the Madonna. Her mother’s first name was also “Madonna”; therefore, Madonna the pop icon is a “second” Madonna, a “daughter of Madonna” if you will. She was born at Mercy Hospital on the East Side of Bay City, Michigan, USA, address 100 15^th Street.

A Harlot Is Born

The Harlot, or Whore, of Babylon is best known from the following verses, Revelation 17:4-5:

“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

The Harlot Rides the Beast

A Madonna premise-

Following is the gist of my theory with which I began this research . . . Ishtar was the reigning goddess of ancient Babylon and is likewise the reigning goddess of modern Babylon. I believe that the Statue of Liberty clearly depicts Ishtar. I also believe that the Babylonian goddess Sheshach is the equivalent of Ishtar, and that Ishtar is also referred to as the “queen of heaven” in Jeremiah (hereafter referred to within this article as “Queen of Heaven” when separate from the Jeremiah connection). Further, I am certain that the woman carried within the ephah (Zechariah 5) is this same demonic entity, Ishtar. Finally, I believe that Madonna is a “type” of Ishtar symbolizing end times Babylon, America. I further believe that Madonna perfectly illustrates the ideals which are actually represented within the Statue of Liberty aka Ishtar, the main ideal being “freedom from God”. Before I discovered the following profound biblical connection between Madonna and the Babylonian “mother goddess”, I already sensed that there was a spiritual likeness connecting Madonna with the Statue of Liberty aka Ishtar.

Ishtar, the Statue of Liberty, Sheshach, the woman in the ephah, and the Queen of Heaven are the same “entity”, and all represent the “Harlot” of Revelation! Madonna is the premier end times personification of this Harlot!

The Goddess Sheshach & Madonna-

Knowing through the Holy Spirit that there existed a definite connection between Madonna and the Statue of Liberty, I felt compelled to check something. The following result strongly supports this startling connection!

Duration calculation results courtesy of www.timeanddate.com

From & including: Thursday, October 28, 1886- Statue of Liberty dedicated in Masonic ceremony

It is 26,224 days from the start date to the end date

26224 / Pi = 8347 (and change)

Researching this number further, from www.BibleWheel.com

Strong’s Number H8347

ששך Sheshak {shay-shak’} of foreign derivation; TWOT – 2475; n pr loc AV – Sheshach 2; 2 Sheshach = “thy fine linen” 1) another name for Babylon apparently taken from the goddess ‘Shach‘

This word “Sheshach” is found in only two verses, both in Jeremiah (25:26 & 51:41). Incredibly, one verse refers to ancient Babylon and the other verse to end times Babylon! The two countries, across more than 2500 years, are both identified by the goddess Sheshach! It is my contention that, in God’s view, both ancient Babylon and America are “Babylon”.

Noting above that one meaning of Sheshach is “thy fine linen”, compare to Revelation 18:16-

“And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!”

Also, note how the description of the “city” matches the description of the “woman” in Revelation 17:4 above! The City = Babylon & The Woman = Babylon!

This represents a stunning connection between the goddess Sheshach in the book of Jeremiah, who represents ancient Babylon at the time of Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar, and the woman of Revelation, who depicts Babylon the Great of our time. Sheshach is quite clearly the goddess of end times Babylon! It is apparent to me that “Sheshach” is another term for “Ishtar”, and I am certain that Ishtar is the deity represented by the Statue of Liberty. “That great city” I believe to be New York City, as well as America in general, as both are represented by the Statue of Liberty sitting at the entrance of city and nation.

The verse above clearly describes ancient Babylon; in fact, Babylon is directly called “Sheshach”. However, this implies that the designation “Sheshach” can also be applied to modern Babylon.

Clearly, Sheshach = Babylon in Jeremiah 51:41. Bible scholars generally agree that Jeremiah Chapters 50 and 51 describe end times Babylon, not ancient Babylon. These scholars are generally in accord on this subject; no matter that they might disagree on which country they believe to actually represent end times Babylon. These Chapters cannot refer to ancient Babylon, in part owing to the fact that ancient Babylon was clearly never destroyed by the means in which Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed (Jeremiah 50:40). My contention is that Jeremiah Chapters 50 & 51 is a description of the United States of America.

Here are two more fascinating interpretations of “Sheshach” from, first, Streane’s Jeremiah-

http://net.bible.org/dictionary.php?word=Sheshach

Sheshach: “There is no reason to doubt that Babylon is here intended by this name.”

and

Sheshach: she’-shak; sheshakh, as if “humiliation.” (ISBE)

Sadly, it seems to me that the term “humiliation” suits pop icon Madonna to a tee.

Lest you believe that the method of dividing by Pi represents some kind of “gimmick”, I can assure you that it does not! In fact, using this method I have uncovered several profound things (as yet mainly unpublished). I chalk this up to the fact that Pi is God’s sacred number, and that He has preset sacred secrets within it for us to discover, if only we apply Pi properly. I truly believe that this number has been encoded by God for His purpose of revealing amazing truths in these end times! Certain members of David Flynn’s “Watcher Forum” in particular have been near the forefront of research into applications of Pi within biblical studies-

http://watchermeetup.50.forumer.com/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=2846db154ddac63cc7f735b438dc246b

My contention is that by the proper usage of Pi one can discover sacred secrets which are otherwise obscured, which I believe is fully supported by the findings outlined in this article.

The word Sheshach, as explained here previously, has been interpreted variously by scholars, with a very likely meaning being, as noted above, “thy fine linen,” which, again, would dovetail neatly with the description of end times Babylon in Revelation 18:16: “that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls.” This implies a direct connection between Sheshach and the Statue of Liberty.

The Harlot Wears Red, White, & Blue

The Statue of Liberty, the Woman in the Ephah, & Madonna-

The pagan origin of the Statue of Liberty is undeniable (see William Dankenbring’s “Is the Statue of Liberty Pagan?”) The sculptor was Auguste Bartholdi, a member of the Masonic Lodge in Paris. Originally, Mr. Bartholdi was planning to construct a giant statue of the Egyptian Queen of Heaven “Isis” (another name for Babylonian Ishtar) to overlook the Suez Canal. This statue of Isis was to be of a robed woman holding aloft a torch! Well, his plans changed and he was instead commissioned to work on a gigantic bronze effigy to be awarded to the people of America. Finally, after years of planning, designing, and intense labor the Statue of Liberty was completed, transported to America in pieces, put together, and finally dedicated in a Masonic ritual on the afternoon of October 28, 1886. On that historic day, President Grover Cleveland (himself a Freemason sympathizer) stated:

“We will not forget that liberty here made her home; nor shall her chosen alter be neglected”

To properly decode the President’s words, we must replace “liberty” with “Ishtar”; the word “liberty” is strictly Masonic double speak! In Masonic language, “liberty” means “freedom from God” means “Ishtar”! It is clear that Ishtar made her home in America, officially, on that autumn day in 1886. I believe that the Statue’s departure from Europe and arrival in America is the very scene that the Prophet Zechariah witnessed in his vision of the “woman” placed in an ephah (basket) and carried far away. In my view this “woman” unquestionably represents Ishtar, the demonic female spirit of ancient Babylon, which had been in Europe for awhile (as Venus and Libertas, amongst others). From Zechariah Chapter 5, we see that the angel calls the woman “Wickedness”. According to my Ryrie Study Bible, Zechariah penned these verses between 520 and 518 BC. Ancient Babylon had already fallen (539 BC). These verses clearly apply to end times Babylon (called Shinar in Hebrew). Zechariah 5:5-11-

⁵Then the angel who was speaking with me went out and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this is going forth.”

⁶I said, “What is it?” And he said, “This is the ephah going forth.” Again he said, “This is their appearance in all the land

⁷(and behold, a lead cover was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting inside the ephah.”

⁸Then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he threw her down into the middle of the ephah and cast the lead weight on its opening.

⁹Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and there two women were coming out with the wind in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.

¹⁰I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?”

¹¹Then he said to me, “To build a temple for her in the land of Shinar (Babylon); and when it is prepared, she will be set there on her own pedestal.” [NAS Version]

The Harlot Ishtar is carried to America

The Statue of Liberty certainly sits on her own pedestal!

In a moment of inspiration, I decided to check the Hebrew Gematria of “Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone”; it is 1541-

www.gematrix.org

Intriguingly, Strong’s Hebrew 1541 means “to reveal (secrets), brought over, carried away, taken into exile”. All four of these meanings clearly fit the journey in the basket of the woman called “Wickedness” to her final place of residence.

Now that “Wickedness” resides by New York Harbor, I ask you, does the Statue of Liberty represent New York City? Or does she represent America herself? The entire world knows that this gargantuan bronze idol represents the nation of America, not just her largest city! When my own ancestors arrived at Ellis Island, they were coming to settle in America, not in New York City; in fact, all of them left New York City as soon as they were processed and could get their tickets to the Midwestern states!

Remember, the Statue of Liberty is officially named “Liberty Enlightening the World”. Ishtar was, and still is, also known as the “Lightbringer” according to this occult site (view with discernment)-

www.inanna.virtualave.net/ishtar.html

In ancient Babylon, just prior to the fall of the country in 539BC, Ishtar was renowned as the “goddess of immigrants”. Compare this to the words penned about the Statue of Liberty by Emma Lazarus-

“a mighty woman with a torch, and her name Mother of Exiles”

It would be quite easy for one to be deceived into believing that the Statue of Liberty represents those wonderful, traditional American values such as personal responsibility, self determination, and freedom from government intrusion. However, one would be mistaken. Such is the spiritual fortitude of the goddess Ishtar, her power of suggestion and downright deception. Even King Solomon, with all of his wisdom, fornicated (spiritually) with Ishtar . . . we read, in I Kings 11:5-

“For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites” [Ashtoreth = Ishtar]

If the woman in Revelation 17 refers to America’s goddess Ishtar, represented by the Statue of Liberty, as I believe she does, then this “woman” represents the “Mother Goddess”, essentially all of the false religions on the face of the earth! This is far more than just Roman Catholicism¹; the woman holding the torch embodies each and every one of these spiritual “harlots” or false religions from throughout history! America embraces absolutely every false goddess and god from everywhere on the globe. Since the seven rays of the Statue’s crown represent the seven seas and seven continents, this is particularly applicable. On the official U.S. Government Statue of Liberty website you can find an answer to the question “What do the seven spikes on the Statue’s crown represent?” . . . the answer is “The seven seas and continents of the world.”

www.nps.gov/stli/faqs.htm

The seven rays may also represent the seven great empires of history (see Daniel 7 and Revelation 13), in which these goddesses/gods have always thrived. To quote from-

http://www.yahushua.net/babylon/liberty/whore.htm

“It seems obvious that the seven mountains and the seven heads both represent the seven empires spoken of in Daniel Chapter 7, and that this whore is the mother of all the false religions in these empires.”

Ishtar is the Whore. The Statue of Liberty is an enormous bronze idol which clearly depicts the Whore. Madonna is a personification of the Whore, and represents the end times Whore nation America. I am here speaking mainly of, but not limited to, spiritual prostitution.

The Harlot aka Ishtar "Liberty Enlightening the World" on her Masonic pedestal

Richard Coombes, author of “America the Babylon: America’s Destiny Foretold in Biblical Prophecy” states:

“Revelation 17:9 is speaking specifically of the Statue and her crown of 7 spikes. Those 7 spikes flash the occult enlightenment of the sun god Utu upon each of the 7 ‘hora’ or large land masses.”

Revelation 17:9-

“Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains (hora) on which the woman sits,”

The Harlot Oversees the World

I would like to give my final thoughts on what I believe the Statue of Liberty truly represents, and it is far from the heart-warming, patriotic ideal with which I grew up, indeed which I even embraced until a few years ago. America’s “Liberty Enlightening the World” represents not freedom of religion, but freedom from the true God. Liberty (Libertas) represents a total rejection of God. The people who live by the light of the torch of the Statue of Liberty will never be able to see the true light of the one true God. To quote James Lloyd, from his book “Beyond Babylon, the Last Week of the World”- “if we strip away the patriotic emotionalism, we are left with a gigantic idol.” Indeed, that is the bottom line. This has been a massive deception perpetrated upon the population of an entire nation, purposefully, by the occult elite.

The “Queen of Heaven” & Madonna-

The “woman” of Revelation, the Harlot/Whore, has a long history, having been around since time immemorial. One of her names is “Queen of Heaven”. A particular complaint which God had against His people of Judah was their worship of this deity “Queen of Heaven”. It is obvious that the Jews began to worship the Babylonian deities on a staggering scale, especially the primary ones, the Queen of Heaven and Bel (Bel-Marduk). As I have demonstrated, the Queen of Heaven is equivalent to both Sheshach and Ishtar. This “queen of heaven” is referenced in several verses in Jeremiah 44 (17-19, 25) and also in Jeremiah 7. Here is a verse which demonstrates how the people would worship this goddess; Jeremiah 7:18-

“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.”

Note that God is saying all types of people, men, women, and children worshiped the deity “queen of heaven”. It strikes me that Madonna is worshiped in much the same way by many of the people of America, and has been for nearly 30 years. This is not to say that she is the most popular celebrity today; Babylon America is filled with celebrity idols. Rather, she represents the American obsession with celebrities and the values they portray. Madonna has had, however, incredible staying power and is still near “the top of her game”.

In the commentary of my Ryrie Study Bible, it is flatly stated, regarding the queen of heaven: “The queen of heaven is the Assyro-Babylonian goddess Ishtar.”

In the commentary of the NIV Study Bible, it is said: “Queen of Heaven. A Babylonian title for Ishtar, an important goddess in the Babylonian pantheon.”

In Unger’s Bible Dictionary, the following is written under the heading Queen of Heaven- “Astarte, an ancient Semitic deity, associated with Babylonian Ishtar (Venus).”

James Lloyd, in his book “Beyond Babylon- the Last Week of the World” also states that Ishtar is the “Queen of Heaven”.

It was during the five-day Feast of Sheshach that Belshazzar’s Babylon fell to the Medes/Persians-

www.jfb.biblecommenter.com/Daniel/1.htm

Above and below quotes are taken from Jamieson et al. “A Commentary: critical, practical and explanatory, on the Old and New Testaments”

“How Babylon is fallen–great Babylon {Sheshach, Babel}, praised throughout the earth! The world can scarcely believe its eyes at her fall {as they were in the midst of a five days’ festival to the patroness goddess of Babylon–Shach, deified Semiramis–when Babylon fell under Belshazzar; much like a later pagan festival of the Roman Empire, Saturnalia, established in honor of their idol god Saturn–deified Nimrod, or Satan–in which the most unbridled licentiousness was permitted; as we can see, such heathen pagan festivals encourage all manner of behavior directly opposed to God–pure rebelliousness to the commands of God}”

This feast dedicated to the goddess Sheshach was in progress when ancient Babylon fell!

http://www.ucg.org/bible-commentary/Jeremiah/Prophecy-against-Babylon-continued/default.aspx

Is Sheshach the same entity as Ishtar and the Queen of Heaven? I am certain that she is. Otherwise, I doubt that King Belshazzar would have actually used the sacred wine vessels from the Temple on that fateful night. Below is a simple diagram meant to demonstrate these connections:

Ancient Babylon (city & country) End Times Babylon (city & country)

Ishtar – - – - – - – - – - -Sheshach – - – Queen of Heaven

Statue of Liberty – - – - Madonna – - – Harlot

Before the ancient Babylon of Belshazzar’s era, and between ancient and end times (modern) Babylon there have been several other names for this “Mother Goddess”, depending on country and culture. Her names include Venus, Isis, Astarte, Ashtoreth, Athena, Diana, Inanna, and Feronia. It is apparent to me that these are all the same entity, the ultimate “Mother Goddess”, the goddess of fertility, love, immigration, personal freedom, and even war. Perhaps the best and most complete term of all is the most common Babylonian name for her, “Ishtar”.

From both the Old and New Testaments this woman is clearly identifiable:

Jeremiah 51:7-

“Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD’S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.”

Revelation 17:4-

“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.”

The Revelation verse certainly evinces the one from Jeremiah. Therefore, unquestionably “the woman” equals “Babylon”.

The Original Harlot & Her "Cup" of Abominations

Madonna’s Birth Connection to Babylon & Hell-

Madonna was born in Bay City, Michigan. “Bay” includes 3 letters within the 7 of “Babylon”, like this:

Babylon

The letters left over spell “blon”, similar to “blonde” which seems to symbolize her goddess calling card, if you will, being her typical hair color although she does change it frequently. When you type “blon” into a search engine such as Google, what pops up? Blonde!

The Harlot is Blon(de)

The blonde Harlot gropes Muslim & Jew alike

Interesting, too, that “Bay” is a City, even having “city” in its name. Likewise, Babylon was a city and also a country. Madonna represents the country of the United States of America much more than she does her hometown (city) of “Bay City” which barely even acknowledges that she was born there, and does not promote her in the least-

http://bay-journal.com/utl/ml/articles/bj-mak-madonna-0808.html

Apparently, Bay City officials were, in the past and publicly at least, ashamed of their most famous daughter! Shame is a concept which is increasingly rare in Babylon America, so God bless them for standing up for decency.

Essentially, we could say that Madonna is from Babylon City, Babylon. Specifically, Madonna’s birthplace, Bay City, Michigan is situated in the north central/northeast part of the state on Saginaw Bay. To the South is the town of Hell, Michigan, which is a popular destination around Halloween time each year for those who worship death and the occult, as well as, presumably, for the “just curious”.

If Madonna were to get into her private jet and “fly to Hell” from her hometown, Bay City, she would start at the Bay City airport- distance from the “Welcome to Hell” sign in Hell, Michigan to her hometown airport? Precisely 66.6 Nautical miles (“click” for larger view)!

The Harlots 66.6 Mile Journey to Hell

The Harlots Hometown Airport

Hell, Michigan a mere 66.6 miles South

Since God is in control of everything, it seems that the findings revealed above represent a bit of a “wink of confirmation” that I am on the right track in this research endeavor- Praise Him!

Madonna Plays the Harlot of Ancient Babylon-

Dr. Noah Hutchings wrote a book entitled “u.s. in prophecy”, which was published in the year 2000. The book discusses the preparations for a “Babylonian Music Festival” which was to be held within the partially-rebuilt ruins of Babylon, Iraq. The Festival was to commence September 22, 1987, and the Queen of the festival was to be Madonna. In other words, Madonna was to play the part of Ishtar. According to Munir Bashir, Music Director for the Festival, Madonna was specifically invited “Because the Iraqi young people love Madonna. Madonna lives here with the Iraqi people” he said, pointing to his heart. “I hope Madonna will know this fact and come” he continued. This story originally ran in the January 16, 1987 issue of the Los Angeles Times, written by Michael Ross, and was entitled “New Writing on Wall- Can Babylon Relive Its Glory Days?”-

http://articles.latimes.com/1987-01-16/news/mn-3712_1_glory-days/2

Of course, we know that since 1987 the site of ancient Babylon (the city, near modern-day Hillah) has been the scene of minor bombing and skirmishes during the Iraq War aka “Operation Iraqi Freedom”. Various sources suggest that ancient artifacts were plundered, in part by U.S. Forces (perhaps sent on a spiritual quest by their superiors?), and a new U.S. military base with nearby consulate, quite massive in scale, is being built there. However, Saddam Hussein’s dream of a rebuilt Babylon is gone with him, although there is a replica, rebuilt historic city in miniature scale on the site, complete with a model of Ishtar’s Gate. And as far as the significance of the U.S. base and consulate in that location; in my opinion, this is only a “cover” to direct attention away from the real end times Babylon, America.

There is no evidence that this music festival ever actually occurred. I am quite certain that it did not. The fact, however, that Madonna was invited to be Queen of the Festival (i.e. Ishtar) speaks volumes as far as I’m concerned. This convincingly ties her to the Harlot of ancient Babylon.

Madonna, aka “Esther”, Is Indeed the Harlot of Modern Babylon-

Intriguingly, Madonna has actually promoted herself as the “Whore of Babylon”. Her 2004 Tour was termed the “Whore of Babylon World Tour” prior to a change to “Re-Invention World Tour”.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-Invention_World_Tour

“The tour was initially known as the Whore of Babylon World Tour. The idea was to portray Madonna as the Whore of Babylon, the figure of evil as mentioned in the Book of Revelation. However it was later changed to the Re-Invention World Tour, to make it a self-confident dig at all the critics and people who have expressed their views about Madonna re-inventing her image over the years. The tour was scheduled to begin in San Francisco.”

Presumably as part of the early promotion for “Whore of Babylon, the Tour”, the first photo in this group of five was taken, courtesy of http://www.conspirazzi.com/?p=662

The Harlot Reveals Her True Self

The Harlot Reinvents Herself

Below is the original caption for the composite photo:

Madonna, calling herself the Whore of Babylon. 1) With PM Shimon Peres of Israel. 2) On her way out to celebrate the Jewish festival of Purim at the Kaballah Centre last year. 3) and 4) Some typical stage antics. Note the hanging dead blonde.

Speaking of her “harlot” reputation, here’s a portion of a comment by Christian blogger Art at blogsite “newine”, regretfully taken somewhat out of context-

http://newine.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/obama-the-pope-the-ark-and-everything/

“But the One True God who made the Ark (and us, and Obama, and satan, and cockroaches and dolphins and the Pope, and Martin Luther, and John Calvin, and mohammed and the Madonna as well as the blasphemous pop-singer imitator) and who triumphed on the cross…”

Next, a blasphemous portrayal of the modern, imitator Madonna. This image is copyrighted, but you can view it at-

http://www.rushtonphillips.com/pop_reverence.html

Quoting the presumed artist: “This new work modifies a Vatican stained glass of the biblical Madonna, substituting the Virgin Mary with the ‘Queen of Pop’ and the Holy Son with the pop star’s adopted child David.”

Well, the alleged artist nearly said it all himself. This so called “work of art” is a portrayal of Madonna with her adopted child, David, in place of Mary and young Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind. I would call that blasphemous, indeed!

Regarding Madonna’s faith, I will quote the following-

www.fixedearth.com/Madonna-Kabbala.htm

“There is a lot of celebrity-level excitement being stirred up by Madonna’s now full-blown embrace of Mystic Kabbalism. So, we need to explore this elevated spiritual focus of mega-star Madonna just a little bit. One of the first things to note is that Madonna says she isn’t just dabbling in Kabbalism. ‘I’m very serious about it,’ she says flatly, and her actions seem to back up those words.”

According to the article, Madonna now calls herself “Esther” after the Jewish heroine of the Bible.

Also covered in this article was an interview with Larry King years ago, in which “Esther” explained her attraction to Kabbalah:

‘I was looking for something…I mean, I’d begun practicing yoga and, you know, I was looking for the answers to life. Why am I here? What am I doing here? What is my purpose? How do I fit into the big picture?’

Although some Rabbis give warnings against Madonna-style Kabbalism (more below), others say it a positive thing. The following websites delve more deeply into her faith-

http://www.worldmagblog.com/archives/005744.html

http://patriotboy.blogspot.com/2009/02/madonna-hrc-identified-as-whore-of.html

In A February 20, 2009 article entitled “Madonna identified as Whore of Babylon” we have the following, courtesy of New Prophecy Net

“If Secretary of State Hillary Clinton personifies the political face of the Whore of Babylon, there will also be a cultural and religious aspect of this great Harlot with “Mystery” written on her forehead. The other face of the Whore of Babylon, pop icon Madonna, is and will be hard at work converting the many fallen souls into the hedonistic, pleasure-seeking, self-centered (self-empowering), and thoroughly WICKED cultural and religious system she shall serve as high priestess over (a place) called Mystery, Babylon. Mystery, Babylon might be considered the moral infrastructure of this modern Babylon. Personally, I believe she is positioning herself to become a major spiritual leader, pushing the pagan Kabbalah faith in a new age world where she might one day be worshipped almost as a goddess. Madonna was accorded the title of Kabbalah ‘High Priestess’ on February 21, 2005. The wanton nature of Madonna’s worldwide cult of personality, combined with her exotic promotion via words and images of the “pop” religion known as Kaballah (a Hollywood pop version of the real Kabbalah practised by rabbis), I argue, makes her the perfect personification of the “Whore of Babylon” as she appears in Revelation 17 … if there is ever going to be one.”

Madonna was inaugurated as Kabbalah High Priestess on February 21, 2005. From www.timeanddate.com

From and including: Saturday, August 16, 1958- Madonna born on New Moon Sabbath

To, but not including: Tuesday, February 21, 2005- Madonna awarded Kabbalah High Priestess Rank

It is 16,991 days from the start date to the end date

Intriguingly, this is the Bible’s Verse Number 16,991, courtesy of www.biblewheel.com

Proverbs 21:6-

“The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.”

Sounds appropriate for the Harlot, does it not?

This day, the day of her inauguration as High Priestess, just “happened” to occur on a true New Moon; that is, on 1 Adar, 5765. Recall that Madonna was also born on a New Moon precisely 575 moon phases earlier!  The number 575 in scripture is one which I came across during my recent Ezekiel studies, and is quite amazing in that dozens of verses have this precise Gematria-

http://www.biblewheel.com/Gr/GR_Database.asp?SearchBy_Gematria=575

These are dominantly verses such as “And (then, moreover) the word of the Lord came unto me, saying” from the Prophets Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Zechariah.  In other words, this number is deeply connected with the prophets and with prophesying.

From what I’ve read of the altered form of the traditional Kabbalah, which is coined “Kaballah” in celebrity circles, it seems to represent a definite “mystery religion”. The following link gives basic information on the Kabbalah Centre in Los Angeles, which Madonna and many other celebrities frequent-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wike/Kabbalah_Centre

What other religious belief system would be better suited for the woman who is the physical manifestation on earth of the “Mother Goddess” deity which has been around since time immemorial? I can think of none other better; the celebrity-based “Kaballah” appears entirely occult in practice. In my opinion, any form of spirituality which is the “in thing” in Hollywood is almost certain to be in direct opposition to the true God.

In 2005, Madonna recorded a song as a tribute to a 16^th-century Jewish mystic, Yitzhak Luria, and the rabbis who guard Mr. Luria’s legacy are outraged. “There is a prohibition in Jewish law against using the holy name of our master, the Sage Isaac, for profit*,” Rabbi Cohen told the Israeli newspaper Maariv on Sunday. “This is an inappropriate act, and one can feel only pity at the punishment that she will receive from Heaven. The Sage Isaac is holy and pure, and immodest people cannot sing about him,” he told the newspaper. [*refer to Proverbs 21:6]

Rabbi Israel Deri went even further, calling for Madonna to be thrown out of the (Kabbalah) community. “Such a woman brings great sin on kabbalah.“

At the same time, Madonna was also in hot water with Roman Catholics, including William Donahue, president of the powerful American Catholic League, for dressing as a nun at a recent Jewish Festival. He claimed the star “should be beaten by a real-life nun for desecrating the scared attire just three days before Easter Sunday.”

[All quotes above are from The Sun Online, December 14, 2005]

The Harlot Blasphemes her original faith

Although the Biblical Esther is a true heroine to both Jews and Christians, “Esther” is also the name Madonna has taken as . Might Madonna’s use of the name “Esther” (meaning “star” in Persian) be based more on the ultimate derivation of the name? After all, the name “Esther” is etymologically related to the Babylonian “Ishtar”, the goddess of fertility, sexual love, and war and, as I have already presented, is embodied by Madonna and clearly depicted as well in America’s Statue of Liberty. The Harlot is clearly a fallen star, a demonic entity!

As I said in the opening paragraph, this idea that Madonna personifies the Whore or Harlot of Babylon is not new; in fact, from the site . . .

http://newprophecy.net/whore.htm

. . . we find that as early as the 5^th of September, 2006, Russian newspaper Zhizn Daily had this to say-

The scenario for pop star Madonna’s scandalous show has been cribbed from the Bible. The plot of her presentation coincides literally with what St. John the Theologian says in Chapter 17, verses 1-18 and Chapter 18, verses 8-10 about the great harlot of Babylon. It is not accidental either that Madonna has given her tour the name of Confessions.

Madonna, the Mother & Daughter of Babylon-

Now that she has children, Madonna has chosen to live in Britain which is, ironically, the physical/political mother of Babylon America- this is striking symbolism I would suggest, especially since Madonna is the daughter of a Madonna (therefore, daughter of Babylon) herself. Fascinating, too, that Madonna decided to make her home an expansive ranch property in Wiltshire, England. Wiltshire is apparently a spiritual stronghold of England, as indicated by its being at the epicenter of the crop circle phenomenon since the early 1980’s, or essentially since the time Madonna first broke into pop stardom.

Below is the verse which shows the reaction of mother Britain to daughter America after America’s demise by fire; Jeremiah 50:12-

“Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.”

“Madonna of the Seven Hills” was a 1958 novel by Eleanor Hibbert aka Jean Plaidy or Victoria Holt, amongst other pseudonyms. The subject of this book was the so-called “most beautiful woman in the world”, the Italian heiress Lucrezia Borgia.

Shockingly, this book was written in Madonna’s birth year, which immediately brings to mind both Revelation 17:9 and 17:18-

⁹And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman (harlot) sitteth.

¹⁸And the woman (harlot) which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

A most stunning example of art imitating reality! Of course “our” Madonna’s ancestry is likewise primarily Italian.

God has His purpose behind every birth and, indeed, behind everything. This person we call “Madonna” or “Esther” represents a significant prophetic clue to those who are watching end times events unfold. Madonna is convincingly a prophetic “type” of the Harlot of Revelation as well as of the Queen of Heaven/Ishtar/Sheshach in the Old Testament. Clearly, she represents an embodiment of this goddess for end times Babylon!

In this article I have attempted to prove that the person known around the world simply as “Madonna” is a type of the Harlot of Babylon and that, specifically, her type can be traced back to mother goddess Ishtar. Most sobering for the citizens of America, who have as their national goddess Ishtar, represented by the Statue of Liberty, it was this same deity to whom the Feast was dedicated the night of the fall of Belshazzar’s ancient Babylon to the Medes and Persians. I have documented a profound connection between the goddess of this Feast, Sheshach (Ishtar, Queen of Heaven) and Madonna. This is indeed sobering, for history is about to repeat itself, and in the near future we will witness the fall of Babylon America and all of her gods, goddesses, idols, and graven images will be for naught, as written in the Book.

Jeremiah 50:2-

“Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.”

Jeremiah 51:18-

“They (idols) are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of visitation they shall perish”

Isaiah 47:12-

“Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.”

¹Madonna was born and raised Roman Catholic, which is simply another amazing tie-in to her legacy of representing the deity Ishtar from the very beginning, including through the Roman “Libertas” stage. Some people may think that because she was Catholic at birth, and has strong roots in Italy, she might therefore represent a Harlot of Rome/Italy/Vatican. This is absolutely not the case, as I have demonstrated in this article. For one thing, she has apparently renounced Catholicism and embraced Kabbalism. She is also distinctly AMERICAN to the core. Madonna’s “Italy” and “Roman Catholicism” connections are quite simply God’s way of demonstrating how she has transitioned into the Harlot of end times Babylon, America, much as the Roman goddess Libertas transitioned into the Statue of Liberty . . .

Update, 22 January, 2011-

Garden Girl has published an excellent piece which describes the finding of a statue of Aphrodite, an equivalent of Ishtar, off the coast of Caesarea in Israel on 14 December. The goddess was facing America! Here’s the link-

Meanwhile, a related piece is found at Daniel’s excellent blog “Prayers for the People”, another must-read which is all about America as the Harlot, and her ensuing fall-

The Dream-

I was outside the office complex of a petroleum company for which I do some consulting.  From the parking lot I sensed frenzied and unusual activity, although it wasn’t clear what specifically was going on.  Although I was standing outside the facility, next to my car, I was somehow able to spiritually peer inside one of the rooms within the interior of a building.  In that laboratory-style room, I saw one of the company scientists, “Noah”, a high-ranking employee and, to his left, his superior (not named) who was distinctly clothed in all white.  It was somehow clear in the dream that Noah was a biologist and paleontologist; a paleontologist being essentially a person who studies ancient animals and plants.

I then suddenly realized that the reason I was there was that I needed to see a co-worker whom I had never before met, a man named “Micah”.  Micah approached me, and after introductions I mentioned to him-

“there are a lot of strange things going on at this company lately”

Then, I asked-

“so, what is your job here, Micah?”

And Micah answered-

“going over Noah’s reports; that is all”

We got into my car and we left together on our mutual mission.  I started to get into the back seat, and Micah urged me gently forward to the front, right beside him, smiling all the while.  We started out down the road, and the strange thing was, we were both driving the vehicle!

The Interpretation:

My car represents my ministry.  I was standing outside of it because God had a new path to show me, which the details of the dream revealed!  Next, let’s review the characters in the dream.  Outside of the “crowd”, i.e. company personnel, these individuals were Noah’s superior, Noah, Micah, and me (Carlos).  Now, there was both an obvious hierarchy, and relationship, amongst all the people in the dream.  First, there was the man best called an “Overseer” (the man in all white), who was essentially the boss of Noah the scientist.  Next, there was the man named Micah who was solely responsible for viewing Noah’s reports (writings, communication in general) which were, by extension, influenced by Noah’s boss.  It is clear to me that Noah’s boss represents the Father, Noah is the Biblical Noah, and that Micah represents the Prophet Micah.  This understanding came immediately after prayer.

Noah- the dove returns

The Prophet Micah

Micah and I were co-workers, meaning that my prophetic responsibility is one which, to a large degree, needs to be modeled after the Prophet Micah.  It also needs to be modeled after the Prophet Jeremiah.  The connection between Jeremiah and Micah will be addressed shortly.  But this fact was clearly established by the dream actuality that Micah and I drove my car (representing my chozeh/nabiy ministry) together!

Within the details of the dream, the Lord is clearly revealing a connection of some type between the prophetic words of the Prophet Micah and the times and life of Noah.

Certainly, we are right now “as in the days of Noah Part II”; Luke 18:26-27-

“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.  They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.”

This could represent the reason that I sensed, within the dream, “strange things” going on in the company (in dream language, a “company” commonly represents nation or world).  For the saved, this needs to be a time of spiritual and physical preparation for what is coming!  For the unsaved, of course, panic will ensue as the day of destruction comes upon them seemingly without warning (although they will have had ample warning which they misidentify and/or defiantly do not heed).

Obviously, Noah obeyed God when He told him to build an ark because He was going to destroy the world in a great flood.  For decades, Noah worked on the ark, likely enduring great ridicule from neighbors who would have told him that such a devastating event would never occur.  However, Noah knew that God’s word to him was true, for the Lord told him; Genesis 6:13-

“And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.”

These end times are as “in the days of Noah”, and many of us are preparing for the final days.  However, this time the end will be by fire, not by water, as we read in the Word; 2 Peter 3:3 through 12-

 ³Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

 ⁴And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

 ⁵For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

 ⁶Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

 ⁷But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

 ⁸But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

 ⁹The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

 ¹⁰But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

 ¹¹Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

 ¹²Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

The name Noah (also, Noe or Noach) means “rest”.  Noah became the head of all humanity after the Great Flood; the patriarch.

The Prophetic Ministry of Micah-

The Book of Micah is a short but fascinating read.  Many of his prophecies are meant for these end times; in fact, some of his words closely mirror those of Isaiah and Joel, amongst other prophets.

Here is what my Ryrie Study Bible has to say about the Prophet Micah (bold emphasis C.M.N.)-

Micah, a Judean from Moresheth in the SW of Palestine, preached to the common people of Judah.  His name means “who is like Yahweh?”

Here is what the Strong’s Concordance has to say about Micah, in part (bold emphasis C.M.N.)-

Micah prophesied during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah of Judah, and was contemporary with the prophets Hosea, Amos, and Isaiah.

It must here be noted that Hosea, Amos, and Isaiah had a lot to say about these end times, as well.  In fact, the fate of end times Babylon, that nation known around the world as “The United States of America”, is outlined in Isaiah Chapters 13, 14, 18, 21, 47, and 48, and likely even in a portion of Chapter 17.

From “The Minor Prophets, Volume 2” by J.M. Boice (bold emphasis C.M.N.)-

. . . in Micah’s case the message of judgment was heeded, repentance followed, and the disaster was postponed for a century.  Hosea and Amos were ignored.  Jeremiah was imprisoned.  But here was one prophet who was listened to and whose preaching therefore changed history.  In coming to Micah we should be encouraged that one man did make a difference.

To understand the man Micah, it is imperative to look at Micah 1, verses 1 through 4-

 ¹The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.

 ²Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple.

 ³For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.

 ⁴And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.

More enlightenment from J.M. Boice-

Micah was a rural person, and he was a stranger in Jerusalem when he first went to the capital to give his prophecies . . . he reminds us of Amos, who also had a rural background and appeared as a stranger in Bethel, the shrine city of the northern kingdom . . . Micah’s message was primarily for the people of Judah

Micah was successful in his ministry in Jerusalem.  The people repented in large numbers, and he was fondly remembered there even 100 years later when Jeremiah was sent by God to reach and warn the backsliding people.  Samaria, however, did not repent despite Micah’s warnings, and it fell during the time of his ministry.

This said, an accurate interpretation of the dream requires looking at Micah’s end times prophecies or prophetic “types” for dual fulfillment.  So, I’ll now summarize the basic trends of the Book of Micah (my words, as assisted by Ryrie Study Bible notes and summary of author R.M. Boice).

Chapter 1- Revelation of the judgments proclaimed against Israel and Judah, and their capital cities, Samaria and Jerusalem, respectively.  The fall of Samaria, especially, being at that time a near-future event.

Chapter 2- The reasons for judgment; includes rebuking the rich who were taking from the poor (sounding much like Amos’ rants); decreeing judgment against Judah by the rich having their land taken by foreigners, a warning against listening to false prophets (those shouting “peace and prosperity”) who were under the influence of alcohol, all the while ignoring Micah who was under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

Chapter 3- an admonishment of the unjust rulers of both Israel and Judah.  A scathing rebuke of the false prophets who prophesied for money and said “peace”, for that is the word which filled their stomachs with delicacies.  The common people likewise had mammon as their god!  Judgment on Jerusalem was also pronounced.

Chapter 4- A stunningly beautiful description of the Millennial Kingdom i.e. the reign of Jesus Christ over the earth.  Jerusalem and the Temple Mount will be the center.  The Babylonian captivity and return to Palestine.  The nations rise against Israel in the last days and are defeated supernaturally by the Lord Himself!

Chapter 5- Messianic prophecies!  The Messiah will come from Bethlehem, from which King David also came.  Bethlehem means “house of bread” and its derivative name suggests “fruitful”.  The Messiah Jesus Christ will shepherd His people, and defeat the Assyrian (term for “enemy” i.e. the “antichrist” in this case).  The Messiah will reunite Israel (at His second coming) and also Judah.  His first and second comings are portrayed!  Deliverance is undeniably assured!

Chapter 6- God, the chief prosecutor, through his human spokesman Micah, states His case against Israel and Judah.  The people try to appease Him by offering sacrifices, but the Lord makes it clear that these are worthless to Him in His eyes.

Chapter 7- Micah clearly demonstrates that Israel and Judah are in a moral cesspool.  Yet he also points to the greatness of God and the hope which only He offers.  He re-affirms the meaning of the Millennial blessing!

Verses five through eight of Chapter 3 are among my favorite of the entire Book of Micah, and I repeat them here; Micah 3:5 through 8-

“Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.  Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.  Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.  But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.”

Continuing in this vein, it is apparent that a most significant part of Micah’s ministry had to do with the exposing of false prophets; such as Micah 3:11 to 12-

“The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.  Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.”

Micah is referring, of course, to the false prophets (and false shepherds), a prime modern day example of which would be Joel Osteen (and his ilk).  Micah emphasizes very clearly that it is only under the authority of the Holy Spirit that the determination of preaching judgment is made; the “easy way out” and profitable means is to preach peace unless the “times” happen to call for preaching holy war (the early 2000’s and President George W. Bush come to mind here), but never judgment upon one’s own people.

Not surprisingly, Micah’s main oppression came from the religious leaders of his day, notably Amaziah, chief priest of Bethel.  This is precisely what true prophets face today from the likes of Joel Osteen and Rick Warren.  On the other hand we have a true prophet and man of God, the late great David Wilkerson, who was constantly either ignored or harshly condemned by false shepherds in the mold of these two men.  Pastor Wilkerson’s timeless devotionals are found here-

http://davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com/

And, as today, the false prophets of Micah’s time preached prosperity and peace when their cities were about to fall!

Shifting gears significantly, here is a very interesting fact about Micah; the Gematria of “Micah” is 75-

http://www.biblewheel.com/gr/strongs.asp?Strongs=H4318

מיכה Miykah {mee-kaw’}  Gematria: 75

Seventy-five (75) is likewise a number which the Lord has shown to me on numerous occasions, and always within a most vital prophetic setting.  Interestingly, 75 is also the number of “extra” days at the end of the Tribulation; Daniel 12:11-12-

“And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.  Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.”

This 1335 days is precisely seventy-five more than 1260, which itself represents one half of seven prophetic years (2520 days).

The prophecy which the Lord gave to me of a Category Five cyclone hitting Queensland, Australia was fulfilled 75 days after my dream of such, as documented in the link below-

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/2011/02/12/%E2%80%9Ca-mighty-storm%E2%80%9D-yasi-fulfills-queensland-cyclone-prophecy-of-watchman-carlos-montana-nabaeteuo-the-interpretation-profound-implications/

So, it seems that “75” could almost be considered a number of “promise until fulfillment”.  There is much more about the number 75 which I have not yet published, but I will share this tidbit:  it was 75 days between my 4 September, 2009 dream of America’s day of complete destruction (double judgment of Babylon) and my asteroid dream/actual asteroid of November 18, 2009; the asteroid itself a harbinger of that precise coming judgment which my dream portrayed!  Here is the link-

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/2010/10/16/prophetic-dream-asteroid-western-usa/

Conclusions-

Clearly, I look up to Micah, a prophet responsible for reaching the common people of Judah, as my own calling in these final years is to preach warnings to the common people of America, an end times “type” of Judah as eloquently described by David R. Reagan in his compelling book “America the Beautiful?:  The United States in Bible Prophecy”.

A quote from the Prophet Micah actually saved the life of the Prophet Jeremiah, who likewise prophesied coming destruction!  The elders of the land rose up in Jeremiah’s defense; these verses represent a quote referring to Micah 3:12; Jeremiah 26:18 through 19-

¹⁸Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.

 ¹⁹Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and besought the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.

Author E.W. Lutzer, in his excellent, recent book “Is God on America’s Side?” puts it this way-

The point is that Hezekiah believed Micah’s words and sought God who withheld coming judgment.  Yes, the preaching of a discouraged prophet caused the king to entreat the favor of God and the predicted disaster did not come to pass.

To summarize this all, then, it seems imperative that my own ministry incorporate a Micah-style approach which includes reaching more and more of the “common people” of America, continuing to attack (in writing) the antichrist policies of the usurper President, government officials, pastors (false shepherds), false prophets, and all types of wealthy exploiters whom are abundant in this nation.  And, most importantly, revealing these and other grave sins of this country, America (Babylon), and calling her people to repentance!  To do this, I must reiterate the prophecies against America which were announced by Isaiah, Jeremiah, John and many other Prophets.  I must not shy away from revealing to all that America is under God’s judgment and that His ultimate judgment of this once-blessed nation is fast approaching.  Yet, through it all, there is a promise of the beautiful Millennial Kingdom and the blessing it invokes!

Since I am clearly a “type” of Jeremiah as revealed by Jeremiah 1:5-

“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”

. . . and as explained in my article “A Prophet unto the Nations” at-

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/about/

. . . it therefore stands to reason that the best interpretation of the end portion of this dream, in which Micah and I were driving the car together, is that it represents Micah’s ministry and my modern-day “Jeremiah style” ministry working hand-in-hand.  It may also reveal that I will be protected by the ministry of Micah and his words, as was Jeremiah protected!  And the fact that Micah’s responsibility within my dream was restricted to those things having to do with Noah, or “end times”, we could say that I am to focus in particular on Micah’s end times and judgment messages.  This prophetic night vision certainly represents a profound confirmation that we are now close to seeing the return of our Messiah.

I have learned a lot from J.M. Boice’s critique of the successful prophetic ministry of Micah.  And perhaps this is a pre-eminent reason that God gave me this dream.  Here is an essential quote-

Without doubt, one of the reasons for Micah’s success as a witness for God is that he genuinely identified with the people to whom he was speaking and genuinely grieved for what was coming to them.  Do you want to be successful in your own witness?  Then do not give the impression that your sole duty is to announce a disaster and that you ‘couldn’t care less’ what happens to those to whom you speak.

Thank-you, Pastor Boice, you great man of God.  This message speaks to me directly, and resonates entirely.  People of America, I care about you.  I know that my words have been harsh, but that is solely meant to get your attention in these final days of our nation’s existence.  It frustrates me that you don’t have spiritual eyes and ears, so very evident since you obviously have great affection for the (fleeting) things of the world instead of the eternal Word of God.  I pray that this article will help to open your eyes to the truth that we are living in the final days.  May America bless God before it is too late for her.

With Love in Christ,

CARLOS MONTAÑA NABAÉTEUO

Update 19 January, 2012-

Prophetic word received by Alison Pound

18 January, 2012 @ 4:00 a.m.

Luzon, Philippines

This is a place where My patience has run out. I see no turning to Me. They have not changed their ways. So judgment comes and I will pour out My wrath on this place. I am coming to the Islands first for judgement but I come to Luzon in the Philippines tomorrow. A mighty wind of judgment. And there will be none who will escape my wrath. All will feel it. Cry out oh people of the Philippines for your hour of judgment has come. Call to Me your Creator and God even now before it is too late for you.

I am going to pour out My wrath on other places in the islands but this one has witchcraft in it. The people there are happily held in its’ sway. They do not fear Me or My wrath. Many are proud that they serve other Gods and defiant toward Me. I look at the heart and I see evil. Warn those of My chosen ones who are there to get out of this place. There are not many, but I will keep these safe. Some will come to Me early, their lives being cut short. This will begin to happen more. I decide who will stay and who will go and I have made My decision. Do not be anxious about this. Be anxious for nothing. I have told you this so there is time to warn the loved ones in this place. But do not delay.

Update 5 January, 2012-

Part I- My dear Filipina sister Nyxie has posted an excellent video at her blog which covers the subject matter of this article-

http://nyxstory.wordpress.com/philippines/

After watching the video, scroll down for other amazing information including additional articles and videos on Sendong and the upcoming massive earthquake/tsunami to strike the Philippines.

Part II- As expected, the new year has begun with plenty of bad news out of the Philippines.  H/T to my sister-in-Christ from the Philippines who pointed me to this article-

http://www.interaksyon.com/article/21247/2012-new-year-revelry-the-deadliest-in-20-years—doh

With headline screaming-

2012 New Year revelry the deadliest in 20 years

Four people were killed and scores injured.

And an excerpt-

The third (fatality) was a 21-year-old man from Nueva Ecija who also died due to sepsis after he suffered from severe abdominal injuries caused by a powerful blast of a giant firecracker called “Goodbye Philippines.”

I agree with my sister-in-Christ that the name of the giant firecracker “Goodbye Philippines” is eerily prophetic, and acts to “ring in the new year” with the very message of this entire article!  Stunning also that this victim was 21 (7+7+7) years old, a key clue as to the end times nature of this incident.

The triangular shape is no coincidence.  Think of the three geographic areas of the country; the islands north of Luzon would represent one point, extreme southern Mindanao a second point, and the western Visayas (Palawan Island) a third point.

Just today, 5 January, there has been a horrific landslide in Mindanao; story here-

Update 29 December, 2011-

H/T to brother Robert for mentioning the following article in a Comment-

Phivolcs: 3 predawn quakes hit Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao

http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/242967/news/nation/phivolcs-3-predawn-quakes-hit-luzon-visayas-mindanao

For those of you unfamiliar with Philippines geography, Luzon (north), Visayas (central), and Mindanao (south) are the three distinct regions of the country.

It is absolutely astounding that on the day the Holy Spirit led me to finally publish (in public view) this article which is meant as a warning to the entire Philippines, that the Lord would supernaturally confirm the words in the article with earthquakes (warnings) throughout the nation!  God is speaking clearly, my dear Filipino sisters and brothers, we must just have the spiritual ears to comprehend what He is saying.

Amos 3:8

“The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?“

Article begins below-

——————————————————————————

My prayers are with all of the families affected by this storm, especially those whom have lost loved ones, as well as the tens of thousands of homeless and displaced.  I pray also for all Filipinos, as this storm will have grave agricultural and economic impact in addition to the tragic cost in human lives.  This storm is also a warning of much worse disasters in store for the nation in the near future.

First, let me introduce myself.  I am Carlos Montana Nabaeteuo, and the Lord God Almighty has called me as a Watchman for the Philippines; specifically, as a prophetic “type” of the Prophet Ezekiel.  I pray that you heed my warnings, for I certainly speak for Him, and read on that you might be convinced of this truth.

Tropical Storm Washi (locally called “Typhoon Sendong”) came ashore during the early morning hours of December 17, 2011 on the Philippines’ southern island of Mindanao.  Over twelve hundred people have been confirmed killed in the northern portion of the island, many washed away by flash floods, and nearly one thousand others are still missing, mostly in the vicinities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan, both major cities.  Tens of thousands of people have been rendered homeless, and five thousand have been injured.  Here is a good article describing the tragic situation in the aftermath of this event-

http://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/2011/12/17/tropical-storm-washi-leaves-436-dead-as-it-slams-into-the-philippines/

And from-

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/philippines-death-toll-from-tropical-storm-washi-nears-1000/story-e6frg6so-1226226328861

Whole villages perched on sandbars or on the shores of rivers were washed away when Washi (Sendong) struck (northern) Mindanao and nearby areas over the weekend, bringing a month’s worth of rain in a 24-hour period.

The disaster area, located about 800km from the capital Manila, is normally bypassed by typhoons that ravage other parts of the far-flung Philippine archipelago every year.

As a result, many residents were caught by surprise when floods suddenly hit their homes in the dead of night, before dawn on Saturday.

The latest news as of 26 December-

http://www.cnn.com/2011/12/26/world/asia/philippines-storm-toll/

It is heartbreaking to read of the ever-increasing death toll.

This typhoon hit very late in the season, and it also hit to the south of the typical path for Philippine tropical systems.  It is only once every twelve years, on average, that a tropical cyclone impacts Mindanao, so this was a shock indeed especially since it may be the worst in over 60 years.  Adding to the element of surprise were the following conditions:  the storm sped up just prior to landfall (making timely warning difficult); once over land, the storm slowed or stalled above the mountainous terrain, pouring down extraordinary volumes of rain in a short time; the flooding occurred in the very early morning time which was fraught with great darkness; and, finally, many local authorities did not carry out evacuation orders.

Although this is a tragic and devastating event, it also comes as no surprise to me, for since 13 October, 2010, the day on which the Lord called me as a Watchman for the Philippines I have been warning strongly and interceding for mercy from the Lord on behalf of the Filipino people.  I have likewise been joined by many other intercessory prayer warriors, and spiritual barriers have been established in many regions of the country.  The news out of the Philippines has been quite positive in certain areas; for example, from parts of Butuan City and from specific regions of Luzon it is clear that the True Church is being empowered.  Specifically, nearby Butuan City was likely spared from this tragedy due not only to my own prayers, but to those of many others who are heeding the warning of the upcoming Philippines earthquake and tsunami which both Dr. Owuor and I have prophesied.  Many people have been reached by the love of Jesus Christ, churches have been strengthened, and the Bible is being read again in these areas of the country.  Prayers have also been answered very directly; for example, the dual typhoons which hit Aurora Province in Luzon, precisely as I prophesied, were not as deadly as they would have been if not for the prayer intervention of myself and many others.  Other storms were turned “out to sea” due to the Lord responding to the diligence of intercessor prayer warriors.  Here is an article on the Aurora landfall storms, which included the disastrous Calumpit, Bulacan flooding event of early October-

As of today, I can say with certainty that this prophetic dream has been fulfilled, at least in the preliminary sense thereof.  If this is only an initial fulfillment, that means there is another, more catastrophic event coming in the next couple of months or perhaps next typhoon season(s).  This preliminary fulfillment of my prophetic dream is essential for the people of the Philippines to clearly recognize as such, for I have also prophesied a horrific earthquake/tsunami to hit the Philippines in the next few months or years.  By understanding that this prophetic dream has come to pass, you will realize that the earthquake/tsunami has also been scheduled by God and will certainly come to pass unless there is mass repentance on the part of the Filipino people!  In other words, the Lord God has given me a prophetic voice and obligation with which to warn the people of your nation!  I must say that for God to allow me to see the future is a tremendous privilege, but also very humbling and with this gift comes a colossal responsibility, as millions of lives and souls are at stake.  I clearly saw the future on the morning of 6 March, 2011, and the events came to pass precisely as revealed.

Yet, again, my calling as a Watchman to the Philippines came specifically on 13 October, 2010 as I was the recipient of a most ominous night vision from the Lord about a future 9.2 Mag. earthquake and devastating tsunami which is yet to arrive.  Here is a link to the extensive article-

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/2010/10/13/coming-tsunami-in-southern-philippines-prophetic-dream/

And a relevant quote-

A massive earthquake of historic proportions is coming to the Philippines, and will be followed by a catastrophic tsunami.  This event will certainly arrive unless there is national repentance en masse.  I prophesied this event back on 13 October, 2010.  More recently, Prophet Dr. David Edward Owuor also warned of this same coming event*.  Our prophecies are connected via the numbers 22 “Revelation” and 163 “Living Water”.  My expectation is that this event will occur in days, weeks, months, or even a few years from now.  This timing may well depend, in part, on the overall reaction of the Filipino people as to whether they turn their hearts to God or harden their hearts against Him.

This earthquake and tsunami may or may not be directly related to Butuan City in the south central Philippines.  The reference to “Butuan” in my dream could point to either the city itself or, more likely to the entire Philippines in general, as “Butuan” is the numerical equivalent of “Pinoy” (Filipino).  As I will document in a future article, Butuan City is also the spiritual epicenter of the nation of the Philippines, and therefore is representative of the country as a whole.

This earthquake will be massive, most likely significantly larger than the 7.9 Magnitude Moro Gulf quake of 1976 which also triggered a deadly tsunami.  It may or may not be exactly a 9.2 Magnitude event.  The “9.2” has a profound spiritual meaning as well, which can be written as “Judgment on the earth in the Tribulation in order to herald a new beginning”.

This future event is clearly related to both the 11 March, 2011 Japan 9.0 Quake and resultant tsunami and the 28 March, 1964 Alaska USA 9.2 Quake and tsunami, and is confirmed by these two earlier events as well.

Many areas of the Philippines are vulnerable to massive earthquakes, tsunamis, or both.  Coastal regions are, obviously, of most concern in regard to the coming massive tsunami.  The Philippines is crossed by major faults and is in an area of active subduction zones, making the possibility of an historic quake and tsunami geologically likely.

Please take these prophetic words to heart, and repent now!

Now I will reveal the connection between the prophecy of an upcoming horrendous tsunami event and the 17 December disaster in Mindanao.  We start by checking the date duration between the profound night vision and this event-

From and including: Wednesday, October 13, 2010  Night vision of Philippines 9.2 Quake & Tsunami which initiated my calling as a Watchman for the Philippines

To, but not including: Saturday, December 17, 2011  Devastating flooding from Typhoon Sendong kills over 1000 people in Southern Philippines

It is 430 days from the start date to the end date

The number of days, 430, should be recognizable to all students of the Bible.  Why?  It is the number of days during which the Prophet Ezekiel had to lie on his sides, each day representing one year.  He lay 390 days on his left side, and 40 days on his right side, to symbolize the sins of Israel and Judah, respectively, each day equal to a year; Ezekiel 4:4 through 6-

⁴Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.

 ⁵For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

 ⁶And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.

390 + 40 = 430

A dear sister in Christ, from the Philippines, e-mailed me the day after Sendong hit, saying that in regards to the tragic storm, the Lord had led her directly to Jeremiah 18:7 through 10 (Complete Jewish Bible)-

⁷At one time, I may speak about uprooting, breaking down and destroying a nation or kingdom;

⁸but if that nation turns from their evil, which prompted me to speak against it, then I relent concerning the disaster I had planned to inflict on it.

⁹Similarly, at another time, I may speak about building and planting a nation or kingdom;

¹⁰but if it behaves wickedly from my perspective and doesn’t listen to what I say, then I change my mind and don’t do the good I said I would do that would have helped it.

I must say that she and I have the same understanding of the meaning of this event, certainly.  The Lord God is clearly stating that His plan to send a massive earthquake and tsunami to the Philippines can be averted, but only by true repentance on the part of the Filipino people.  Other judgments, such as the warning-type verdict represented by Sendong, are now to be expected in increasing doses.

Quoting now my Filipina sister in Christ-

. . . what I notice in most Christians I have talked to regarding what’s coming to this nation, (is that) they are reluctant to accept that there are prophecies of disasters coming because they believe that God wouldn’t do such a thing to us, in light of all the good prophecies spoken over the Philippines.  (However), I believe when God promises blessings, He also warns of the opposite if the people do not listen to Him and obey.  (No) good prophecies will come to pass if the Filipinos remain in the state of apathy, complacency and apostasy, not to mention idolatry.

She ends her accurate and profound statement with the word “idolatry”.  I would like to say more about this.  The people of the Philippines are dominantly Roman Catholic.  Clearly, the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) is full of idols and idol worship.  Filipino Catholics, like Catholics everywhere, don’t usually read and know the Bible. Likewise, they don’t know that an individual, deeply personal relationship with Jesus Christ is necessary, that it is the only way to eternal life.  In reading the Bible you will discover that idolatry is strongly condemned.  Therefore, you must have a genuine, personal relationship with the True God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, then you will shun all those idols and idolatry.

Another dear Filipina sister in Christ is at the forefront of warning her fellow countrymen of the dangers of RCC idolatry-

And while visiting her excellent blog site please read her current article about Christmas and idolatry- a real eye opener!  Also, scan the entire site, for she has dedicated her life to this most important of missions!  Here are quotes (in part) from two of her linked articles about Roman Catholicism-

http://www.scribd.com/collections/2783819/EXPOSING-CATHOLICISM

Article “EXPOSING CATHOLICISM”

Everyone must know that it has been a big burden to me when the Lord revealed to me about the lies & deceptions of the Roman Catholic church . . . everything about the Roman Catholic church is a LIE, from it’s foundation & history to its doctrines & traditions passed down from generation to generation. My beloved Catholic country, there are lots of things that you should know about your church. The Roman Catholic church in Vatican has manipulated everything in Christianity as a religion. So expect that every tradition, practices & holidays is a LIE . . . the Catholic church is NOT even a “Christian” church. The Roman Catholic church is a Universal Church in Rome . . . please start reading the Bible so you would know the TRUTH coming from Him alone & NOT by your priests & your pope, your “holy father.” Even with a heavy heart, I have to expose the truth about Catholicism in this country. I just pray that the Lord would be the one to open your hearts & your minds to see the TRUTH. But it would be a heavier burden to me, if I keep everything to myself & just allow everyone to fall into Satan’s pit & be led into each one’s destruction. May the Lord bless & pour out His Spirit on every Catholics that would be reading the articles. May the Lord open your eyes & use you to spread the Truth to other Catholics.. I LOVE YOU BUT THE LORD LOVES YOU MORE! EVERYONE DESERVES TO KNOW THE TRUTH!

And-

Article “CATHOLICISM AND IDOL WORSHIP”

Micah 3:8 “But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the LORD, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, to Israel his sin.”

TO MY RELATIVES & FRIENDS: Before you get offended, please start to read the WORD of GOD and find the TRUTH. I suggest that you find in the scriptures — the holidays, religious works & traditions that you are performing. Knowing that catholicism will lead you to hell.. ..If I will not reveal this truth to all of you? then who will? I was just used by the LORD to make known this truth to all of you. He knows that when He reveal this to me, I won’t ignore it, because of my great love & concern for all of you. I pray in the mighty name of JESUS that the LORD would open your hearts & receive this correction from Him. May the LORD bless each one of you in spiritual blessings, of wisdom, knowledge & understanding of Him. May the Spirit of the LORD be upon you. May the LORD keep you & give you strength to endure the coming persecution.

As am I and many other followers of Jesus Christ who have been commissioned as watchmen, this sister in Christ is calling the Filipino people to repentance in advance of the soon return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!  May God bless her abundantly.

Now, I may have spoken harshly about Catholicism, yet I must say that there is a certain Catholic priest in Cagayan de Oro City who is strongly led by God, and obviously knows the Bible.  According to another Filipina sister in Christ, who lives in Mindanao, the newspaper in Cagayan de Oro, a couple of days after Sendong hit, carried a column by the priest which identified this event as “God’s judgment over the city” for the recent rise in prostitution, improper lifestyles, and drinking.  He further states that although God is a God of love, that He is also a God of justice.  True, everything the good priest said I agree with.  He knows the city better than I do, but the priest’s view of the city as a haven for immoral activity was substantiated by the view of my sister in Christ from Mindanao as well, who says that prostitution is rampant in Cagayan de Oro City, and states-

All across the land there is much corruption, idolatry, violence/murder, immorality, rebellion and witchcraft.  The nation is ripe for judgment, no matter how you look at it.  Prophecies have been spoken out, and much of the church is asleep or apathetic.

Now that we have documented both the flaws of Roman Catholicism and the fact that the Philippines is clearly under God’s divine judgment, let’s move back to the current prophecy and the 430 days . . .

Typhoon Sendong, occurring precisely 430 days after my own prophetic calling to intercede for the Philippines, is the deadliest event to take place in the nation since my calling was initiated.  This is not a coincidence; rather, this is a confirmation that I am to act as a modern-day Ezekiel “type” in this intercession.  I am personally to bear the iniquity of the people of the Philippines!  This is also a warning that the massive earthquake/tsunami event will happen soon, and will not tarry much longer.  Here is a word I received from Alison Pound on the very day that Sendong hit, 17 December-

The Lord says to tell you (Carlos) the time is 1:30am and we are in an extended time of Grace but not for long. He said He is coming to the islands first for judgment. He said this is your first marker. The time is nearly up for the Philippines; they have one more short period of Grace extended to them. 

In other words, Sendong acts, in essence, as a “last minute” warning!  It is obvious that I have been called to bear the iniquity of the Philippines for 430 days; now this tragic event!  What does this mean, people of the Philippines?  It means that Sendong is a marker event!  Clearly this means that time is nearly up, it is simply now a matter of God’s mercy as He withholds the hand of judgment yet another day.  Here are some other meanings, closely related, of the number “430”, from-

http://www.biblewheel.com/gr/gr_430.asp

“And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.”  Galatians 3:17

The supernatural reality of the divine design of the Greek and Hebrew languages is nowhere more evident than in the relation between the Law and the Number 430. These concepts, which are directly related in the text of Scripture are also integrated through the intrinsic alphanumeric value of the word Law itself:

And why does the New Testament connect the Number 430 with the Law? It is because it was physically enacted in the history of God’s people.  The Number 430 serves as the foundation for the entire art and science of Gematria which is self-reflectively established in the identity:

Indeed, LAW = 430 = NUMBER!

In other words, the Number 430 in this case “numbers” the days for the Philippines, and the Filipino people need to turn back to the Law!  The number of days (430) between my becoming a Watchman for your country and this horrific storm Sendong is certainly meant to turn you back to the Law, and to the Word.  True, we are saved by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice by His blood on the cross of Calvary cleanses us of all sins.  Yet is this truth to suggest that we are to ignore the Law?  Certainly not, our Messiah came to fulfill the Law, not to abolish it; Matthew 5:17-

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.”

What I am saying to you Filipinos is that many of you who think you are “under Christ”, sadly yet truly, are not!  Not if you are living under the RCC system and have yet to be born again.  That is why this strong word about the “Law” applies to you!  Continuing in his letter to the Galatians, the Apostle Paul has this to say; Galatians 3-

 ²⁴Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

 ²⁵But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

 ²⁶For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

 ²⁷For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Remember, as our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Himself stated; John 14:15-

“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

To summarize- Filipino Catholics, first and foremost you need to give your hearts to Jesus Christ.  Then, read your Bible, get out of the Roman Catholic Church, and join a local church which follows His Word.  You will then begin to follow the Law though you will never be under bondage to it, for your new relationship with Jesus Christ will take away the curse, Praise Him!

Is the 430 days of warning over for the Philippines?  Is the country now entering full judgment mode?  An argument can certainly be made that this is the case, at least after the “short period of Grace” referred to by the Prophetess.  Considering this possibility, taking the Biblical precedent of “a day for a year”, I thought to subtract 430 years from 2011, as such-

2011 – 430 = 1581

And then I checked to see if any important event had occurred in the Philippines in the year 1581.  Interestingly, this important book was revealed in the search, in which the final year of “conquest” is being given as precisely 1581!  Here is the title of this text by the historian Martin J. Noone (1986)-

The Islands Saw It: The Discovery and Conquest of the Philippines 1521-1581

From all of these overlying indicators and confirmations, it certainly appears that the Philippines will be under full divine judgment beginning in 2012.

Late on the night of 18 December, the day after the disaster, I fell asleep as I passionately prayed; in my prayers I pleaded with the Father to confirm this word about the Philippines and this critical warning of “time running out” for the nation, as well as of my Watchman status for your country.  Then, during the early morning hours of the 19^th December, I had the following dream-

I was living in a college dormitory prior to the start of a new semester.  My roommate was named “David”.  As the dream started I was making only my third trip to our room, which was on the 4^th Floor, and as I approached the building I said this prayer-

‘Lord, please help me to see more clearly into the spiritual realm, since You have graciously called me as Your seer prophet’

I walked up the stairs and, on the 4^th Floor, was met by a certain “Michelle” who lived in the women’s wing to the left (east).  I continued to the right (west), the men’s wing, and opened the door of our room.  I greeted my roommate David; then after I saw the number “468” on the interior door I asked him-

‘Is this our room number?’

And David said-

‘Yes’

I noticed that I had two beds of my own [this represents my separate yet related prophetic callings as both Chozeh (to “see”) and Nabiy (to “announce”) types].

I awakened with the number 468 clearly before my eyes, and immediately wrote down all the details of this prophetic night vision.

The separate women’s and men’s wings, yet on the same floor, simply reveal that we are all equal under Jesus Christ, and it also shows that we must work together closely in these end times.  On another interpretive level, I have several dear sisters who may be personally represented by “Michelle”, or she may represent a composite of all of them.

This dream clearly details a profound confirmation of my Ezekiel calling for the Philippines as I have outlined.  Why?  Simply this . . .  There is only one verse in the entire Bible with a Gematria of 468, and it is found in Ezekiel, specifically Ezekiel 11:4-

http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Database.asp?SearchBy_Gematria=468

“Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.”

This is my obligation, to prophesy against the Philippines.  Although the context of the verse above was the court in Jerusalem at the time of Ezekiel, as a “type” of Ezekiel, I am, in the current context, to prophesy against the Filipino people, to call them to repentance and to a banishing of their idols.  Furthermore, I am to make them aware of what is soon coming, and that is what the Lord has shown me- a most horrific earthquake and tsunami, the death toll of which may approach one hundred-fold that of the Sendong storm.

The meaning of Ezekiel is “God strengthens”.  David means “Beloved”, and Michelle means “Who is like God?”  All are, obviously, Hebrew names.  Speaking of Hebrew, the Strong’s number H-0468 should also be checked, and here is the result-

אליצור ‘Eleytsuwr {el-ee-tsoor’} from 0410 and 06697;; n pr m AV – Elizur 5; 5 Elizur = “my God is a rock” or “Rock is God” 1) a chief of Reuben in the wilderness

Sisters and brothers, all of the names in my dream connect to this basic yet profound meaning of being, in essence, “ordained by God”, as does the number 468 itself!  As a modern-day “type” of Ezekiel, I hereby call the Filipino people to repentance and to a banishing of their idols!  All the idols of the false, apostate, Roman Catholic Church need to be abolished; do it first in your hearts, by reading your Bibles, and then shun them entirely.  The One True God is adamant about this; and He is increasingly incensed by your following this corrupted religion of man and the flesh which has very little in common with the early Church, which recognized that true Christianity is all based on having a personal relationship with your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!  If you are a Filipino Protestant, please make sure that you are in the True Church in which your personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the reading of the Bible, and the knowledge that we are now in the end times, are paramount!  And if you are a Filipino Muslim, I assure you that it is only through the Blood of Jesus Christ that you will gain eternal life.  You must turn to Him and give Him your life.  Do not look at the idolatry of your Roman Catholic neighbors and think “this is what Christianity is all about”, for that is absolutely not the true Christianity!

Typhoon Sendong, internationally known as Tropical Storm Washi, is recognized as the deadliest storm to occur in the year 2011 anywhere in the world.  It is no coincidence that it struck the Philippines, a country which the Lord showed me (back in late 2010), was under judgment.  Please heed the warnings of this article, turn to your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and repent from the very depth of your soul.  God Almighty may yet have mercy on the Philippines, if enough of your citizens cry out to Him with repentant hearts; Jonah 3-

¹And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,

 ²Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.

 ³So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey.

 ⁴And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.

 ⁵So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

 ⁶For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

 ⁷And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:

 ⁸But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.

 ⁹Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?

 ¹⁰And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

If enough of you believe my words in this article, as the people of Nineveh believed the Prophet Jonah, your nation will surely be spared.  And if not enough Filipinos heed these words, then you repentant believers can just know that you will be with the Lord for eternity, and perhaps He will shield you during the upcoming judgments.  You must listen for His voice to tell you what to do.  Protect yourself and your families; spiritually first and physically second.  For these judgments are certain without the repentance of the Filipino people as a whole.  That is my prophetic word, from the Lord, to you my dear Filipino sisters and brothers . . .

With Love in Christ,

=============================================================

Dedication:

Today, December 16, 2011, marks the fourth anniversary of the day that Daniel Grayling “Dan” Fogelberg passed from this world into the eternal realm.  The title of this article was inspired by Dan’s song “Faces of America” from his fine album River of Souls.

I now dedicate this article to two very special people; Dan’s lovely wife Jean and his dear mother Margaret.  I would like for both of these precious ladies to know how much Dan’s music meant to me and indeed to the world, and I would hope that they will be honored by the original findings which I am presenting within this article.  I must state unequivocally that the Lord Himself directed me to perform this research and to publish these discoveries.

Preamble:

I have been meaning for some time now to write a short article about the American singer-songwriter who had the most impact on me of any performer in secular music, Dan Fogelberg.  Since I began to listen to his music, while in my late teens, I’ve been captivated by his angelic voice, poetic lyrics, and beautiful, even haunting melodies.  Dan is the only artist of whom I have acquired a “complete set” of CDs, twenty-one in total.

Dan was a victim of prostate cancer, and left us just before Christmas in the year 2007.  During his final days, I listened often to his beautiful Christmas album The First Christmas Morning which he had released only eight years prior.  In his time on this earth, the lives Dan touched were certainly innumerable, and those he did touch, he touched deeply.  His body of poetic, original, and vibrant work continues to impact people today and certainly will until the very end of the age.  This article represents my own small attempt to share with humanity how much his music meant to me and, indeed, to multitudes, perhaps especially to Americans yet also to peoples throughout the world.  Furthermore, this article reveals the fruits of my research into the prophetic calling of this great American, Daniel Grayling Fogelberg.

I would like to quote biographer Paul Zollo here, for his words capture what mine never could about the beautiful music of Dan Fogelberg and his immense God-given talent; this quote was taken from the booklet insert within Dan’s Portrait album-

With an early genius for both melody and harmony, a soulfully angelic singing voice, and a natural gift for romantic expression, Dan Fogelberg has created songs that have become so embedded in our collective consciousness that they still resound with authentic magic and beauty years after they first emerged . . . he was not only a master tunesmith, but also a purveyor of harmonies so sweetly conveyed that they seemed miraculous, a soulful blend of perfectly tuned, heartfelt vocal harmonies.

Although I have been an avid music fan since my late teen years, the only concert for which I ever purchased tickets was a Dan Fogelberg performance which took place in Laramie, Wyoming in 1988, part of his successful and rather unique “Solo Acoustic Tour”.  You see, the Lord had never led me to waste time or money on any other musical act.  Neither have I ever been smitten by the American spiritual disease of celebrity worship.  But there was something very different about the man named Daniel Grayling Fogelberg.  Now, I can clearly see that God had His own profound reasons for leading me to attend this single concert!  The man’s God-given gifts were simply astounding, and indeed the Lord has now shown me a window into this great man’s own prophetic insights.

Daniel Grayling Fogelberg was born on August 13, 1951 in Peoria, Illinois.  He was the third of three boys; his parents were both accomplished musicians.  His father, Lawrence Peter Fogelberg, was a beloved high school band director, and his mother Margaret is a talented singer with a fondness for classical music.  By all accounts Dan had a fairly normal, distinctly American childhood.  I highly recommend the following authorized site for detailed information on this great American and his legacy-

http://danfogelberg.com/

And this link has some good general information as well-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Fogelberg

So, why did I decide to finally pen an article about my favorite singer-songwriter, here on a Christian prophetic “end times” blog, of all places?  Well, God has given me a gift of spiritual discernment in analyzing people and their particular gifts, and I have always known and accepted in my heart that the man known as Dan Fogelberg was placed on this earth, in this particular country, at a very specific time in history, in order to fulfill a certain important role for God’s glory; that he had a “prophetic destiny”, if you will.  Going into the research for this article, I was certain that I would find prophetic connections as the Holy Spirit had already indicated such.  What happened next as I studied his life and music was that two of his songs in particular began to appeal to me as being profoundly prophetic; these are “Faces of America” (from River of Souls) and “Forefathers” (from The Wild Places).

True to form, in researching this great man’s life, and lifespan, I have uncovered some stunning prophetic connections.  I will present my findings here, and then hope and pray that they might be well received, for they are certainly original and compelling, Praise God!

Introducing Dan’s Prophetic Songs:

When I first heard Dan’s song “Faces of America”, back in 1993, I was immediately driven to tears, not that such a reaction is unusual considering the emotional impact of Dan’s songs in general.  Yet there was just something profoundly prophetic about these particular lyrics.  You see, by 1993 I was personally witnessing what I clearly realized was the moral and spiritual fall of my beloved country, America, into the abyss.  I had watched what was cherished in my younger years become ridiculed, despised, and neglected by late 1993; I will include here the lyrics (bold and color emphasis C.M.N. on lyrics, quotes, and Bible verses throughout article)-

Faces of America (1993, Dan Fogelberg)-

There was a time
A simpler time
When a man could be sure of where he stood

I used to work at the yard
Working honest and hard
The hours were long but the pay was good

I had a family and friends
So many friends
We’d drive to the lake on holidays

Back then it wasn’t so dear
For a sandwich or beer
At night I still dream I can see their faces

Certain things that you depend upon
There are places that you know
And the faces of America
Oh, where did they go?
Where did they go?

I was born on a farm
A midwestern farm
I rode on the tractor with my dad
And though we never had much
It was always enough
And we made the best of what we had

Then came four years of drought
And the bottom dropped out
My father was broken like the rest
I can still see his hands
Signing over his lands
And the bankers grow fat on the flesh
of the dispossessed

Certain things that you depend upon
There are places I can go
I sift the ashes of America
For someplace I used to
(someplace I used to)
Someplace I used to
(someplace I used to)
Someplace I used to know

There was a time
A simpler time
When a man could be sure of where he stood
I used to work at the yard
Working honest and hard
The hours were long but the pay was oh
so good

Certain things that you depend upon
I used to think were guaranteed
Like the right of every man to work
And feed his family
And feed his family
And the faces of America
Seem so distant and estranged
Have their eyes become too blind to see
How much their hearts have changed?
(how much their hearts)
How much their hearts have changed?
(how much their hearts)
How much their hearts have changed?

The song itself is hauntingly gorgeous; here is a nice video-

Here is what Dan himself had to say about his songwriting in general, which I believe perfectly fits, in particular, “Faces of America”; from-

I’m moved by things that change. Life itself in this country is changing so quickly that the issues change constantly. Basically, all I can say is when something affects me deeply enough that I write a song about it.

The greatest impact is imparted to me by the following lines-

And the faces of America
Seem so distant and estranged
Have their eyes become too blind to see
How much their hearts have changed?

For, it is obvious that Dan is here referring to the spiritual eyes of Americans, and I am immediately reminded of a Bible passage concerning the lukewarm church of Laodicea.  This end times Laodicean church, I am convinced, is centered in the United States of America.  The verses are Revelation 3:16 through 3:18-

“So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see”

Indeed, the spiritual eyes of the vast majority of Americans have been blinded; how much worse the problem in 2011 compared to 1993?

Now, I had acknowledged this song as particularly prophetic even before I had read the quote below which features the story behind the song.  There should be no doubt after reading these words from Dan Fogelberg himself that he possessed a strongly-developed prophetic gift.  Here is what Dan said about his song “Faces of America”; from the River of Souls album liner notes-

Heard this song and saw this video in a dream one night.  Woke up and wondered whose it was.  Realized it was mine.  We must remember that the homeless weren’t always that way.

I know from experience that if a person is dreaming words, music, and moving images with this type of detail and “real life” application then that person has an acute prophetic gift.

The following song I also consider to be “prophetic”, not so much in the sense of foretelling of future events, but of understanding and embracing America’s heritage.  I am astounded by how similar were the lives, situations, and countries of origin of Dan’s ancestors compared to my own-

Forefathers (1990, Dan Fogelberg)-

They came from Scandinavia
The land of midnight sun
And crossed the North Atlantic
When this century was young
They’d heard that in America
Every man was free
To live the way he chose to live
And be who he could be

Some of them were farmers there
And tilled the frozen soil
But all they got was poverty
For all their earnest toil
They say one was a sailor
Who sailed the wide world round
Made home port–got drunk one night
Walked off the pier and drowned

My mother was of Scottish blood
It’s there that she was born
They brought her to America in 1924
They left behind the highlands
And the heather covered hills
And came to find America
With broad, expectant dreams
And iron wills

My grandad worked the steel mills
Of central Illinois
His daughter was his jewel
His son was just his boy
For thirty years he worked the mills
And stoked the coke-fed fires
And looked toward the day
When he’d at last turn 65
And could retire

And the sons become the fathers
And the daughters will be wives
As the torch is passed from hand to hand
And we struggle through our lives
Though the generations wander
The lineage survives
And all of us
From dust to dust
We all become forefathers
By and by

The woman and the man were wed
Just after the war
And they settled in this river town
And three fine sons she bore
One became a lawyer
And one fine pictures drew
And one became this lonely soul
Who sits here now
And sings this song to you

And the sons become the fathers
And the daughters will be wives
As the torch is passed from hand to hand
And we struggle through our lives
Though the generations wander
The lineage survives
And all of us
From dust to dust
We all become forefathers
By and by

My own ancestors have been on what would become American soil since the 1640′s.  Like Dan Fogelberg’s forefathers, those on my maternal grandfather’s side likewise settled eventually in the state of Illinois.  My great-great uncle also died by drowning, in his case during a bridge construction accident in Lake Michigan on the Illinois side.  Other ancestors of mine include many of Swedish and Scottish blood (in addition to German, Portuguese, and several other European stocks).  I can absolutely relate to this gorgeous song about his and our (uniquely American) heritage!  Dan Fogelberg’s song “Forefathers” represents a true Heartland American saga.

Here is a link to a well done video of this song-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYbgC2vW9dk

I will discuss certain of his other prophetic songs in a later section of this article.

The Man Known Simply as “Dan” and the Heartland of America:

The connection of Dan Fogelberg to America’s “Heartland” cannot be overemphasized.  For one thing, his music is very difficult to define as to “type” or “genre”.  Is it folk, rock, pop, country?  None?  All?  The answer is that it is distinctly “Dan” and uniquely “American”.  Some of his songs are very soulful, others bluesy, or country, even jazz and classical-inspired, and one group of songs together form a bluegrass album.  Dan Fogelberg’s music appealed to a very wide audience, yet he accomplished this feat without ever once making an obvious attempt to be commercial!  A true artist, he wrote what he felt, he wrote what he lived, and the people responded.  He is beloved throughout the world.  Now here is a man who was “true to himself”!  This background makes his home town of Peoria all the more fascinating from the standpoint of an analysis.  Why?  Well, have you ever heard the expression “will it play in Peoria”?  Here is a link-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_it_play_in_Peoria%3F

Note the “twin towers”.

And a quote from the article-

Peoria has long been seen as a representation of the average American city, because of its demographics and its perceived mainstream Midwestern culture . . . Peoria’s historical test market status can be attributed to a number of factors. The term ‘Heartland of America’ refers to this region . . .

Basically, what the expression means is that Peoria is the quintessential All-American town.  Furthermore, it is the “test market” for the entire nation.

According to the Flanagan House Peoria Historical Society and Museum-

Peoria has long been considered the average American community, thanks to its central location and demographics.

Willie G. Mosely of Vintage Guitar Magazine interviewed Dan back in February of 2004, with the interview published in an article entitled “Playing in Peoria”.  Here is what Mr. Mosely stated within the interview introduction section; in part-

The sociopolitical attitude of the American population is often said to be gauged in reference to a town inIllinois. But “How will it play in Peoria?” isn’t the only reason the city is notable; it’s also the hometown of singer/songwriter Dan Fogelberg, whose plaintive voice, evocative songs, and prowess on guitar have resulted in platinum album sales.

There is a famous line attributed to the legendary newsman, the late journalist Charles Kuralt, about the town of Peoria-

In the middle of the state, in the middle of the country, in the middle of the world.

Quite the “simple yet profound” quote.  Striking in that, of course, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is the actual middle of the world.  Since Peoria is a “type” of the center of America, which is itself the world’s dominant country and indeed end times Babylon, under authority of the Holy Spirit I thought to calculate the distance from the center of Peoria to the Temple Mount using this excellent tool-

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gccalc.shtml

The distance is precisely 5484 nautical miles.  From the groundbreaking work of David Flynn, in his 2008 book “Temple at the Center of Time- Newton’s Bible Codex Finally Deciphered and the Year 2012” we know that for nations in existence since the time of Christ, a distance in nautical miles from the Temple Mount can contain profound meaning in a time-distance sense.  For example, the historic center of London is 1948 nautical miles from the Temple Mount, which mirrors the fact that Britain was instrumental in bringing the nation of Israel into existence in the year 1948.

There is but a single verse in the Bible having a Gematria of 5484, and this is it, Genesis 6:14-

“Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.”

This verse represents God’s command to Noah to prepare for the Flood which would wipe out most of humanity.  Likewise, believers are today to prepare for the Fire which will wipe out most of humanity.  Civilization in Noah’s time was centered in “Babylon”.  Today, America herself represents modern and end times “Babylon”, and as such we know that this consuming fire will begin, for the most part, right here in Babylon America, a cultural and symbolic center of which, as I have demonstrated, is Peoria, Illinois!  This is no coincidence; the Holy Spirit led me to this discovery, and it is my responsibility as a watchman to reveal this to you that you might prepare; first, spiritually, and second, physically.  For this nation will certainly be judged by fire, and America will be wholly devastated; this event will occur in mere years.

So, you see, Peoria, Illinois is considered, in essence, “Main Street America”.  That is prophetic in its own right.  Let me point out to you, also, that Peoria is only about 160 miles northeast of the precise “divisible” midpoint of America (as defined by the overlap of population center and Mississippi River center) in Eastern Missouri which I document in this important article-

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/2011/05/12/america%E2%80%99s-destiny-foretold-within-her-landscape-part-i-mississippi-river-2013-code/

Sisters and brothers, Dan represents America.  In a prophetic sense, Dan almost “is”America.  If you accept this premise, then his recent death is clearly a harbinger of America’s own fast-approaching fall.  Furthermore, if you look at this article in this light, it should resonate with you and make a good deal of sense.

Dan certainly recalled his own Main Street America, Peoria childhood with great fondness; this from an interview by David Moll of the Peoria Star Journal in the 12/9/1999 edition-

“It was such a wonderful place to be a kid.” he said.

The film “A Christmas Story” – about a kid named Ralphie in ’50s Middle America who schemes to make sure he gets a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas – took him straight back to Peoria, he said.

“I’ve seen that movie a couple of times. I said, yeah, that’s it.”

In fact, if Dan had not had Peoria roots, an argument can be made that his entire career would have taken off differently.  He needed Peoria, yet he also needed to “ride the river” out of the Middle American town as a young man.  Here are some reflections on Peoria, also courtesy of biographer Paul Zollo, again from Portrait-

These were his river years, as he withdrew daily to a sacred spot between two ancient pines overlooking the Illinois River. “I was not feeling like a part of Peoria anymore. I was off in my own trip, deep inside myself. At the same time, I was terribly excited because I was discovering this whole person I never knew could exist, and this music and this creativity. It was an incredible awakening, the beginning of a great journey. And I knew the river was a conscious metaphor for my escape from Peoria. I was just waiting to leap on its back and ride it, down to St. Louis and New Orleans and out to the Gulf and on to the world.” A Leo with Cancer rising, he understood even then the opposing astrological forces at work that left him feeling conflicted — the extroverted entertainer who exists to perform, and the introverted artist who requires solitude.

Here is a third Dan song which I will share as being prophetic; “Old Tennessee”, which is from his album Captured Angel; lyrics in part-

Old Tennessee (1975, Dan Fogelberg)-

End of October
The sleepy brown woods seem to
Nod down their heads to the winter
Yellows and gray paint the sad skies today
And I wonder when you’re coming home
I wonder when you’re coming home
I wonder when you’re coming home

And a video link-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBmSppk9n9c

This song may not seem prophetic at first listen as it is, obviously, a love song.  But it is indeed prophetic in that it points to a specific time of year, late October, which happens to be around the time of year in which America may likely meet her ultimate demise.  That is my prophetic word to you, but you will have to read future articles in which I discuss all the “signs” which point to that particular time of year.  Regardless of when this ultimate judgment will take place, it is certainly coming and will not tarry, and I cannot listen to this song without weeping over the soon-approaching total devastation of my dear nation.  These and other prophetic songs of Dan Fogelberg certainly beg a question!  That question being . . .

Was Daniel Grayling Fogelberg a Prophet?:

Daniel was one of the four major prophets of the Bible.  Daniel is recognized primarily for his “end times” prophecies; i.e. those relating to the days in which we live now.  The name Daniel means-

http://www.biblewheel.com/gr/strongs.asp?Strongs=H1841

God is my judge

Dan Fogelberg’s middle name is Grayling, which means-

http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Grayling.html

Pleasant

 Whereby, Fogelberg means-

Mountain bird

As documentation, here is a quote from the official Dan Fogelberg website-

http://danfogelberg.com/

The name “Fogelberg” is Swedish – it’s derived from the original “Vogelberg”, meaning “Mountain Bird”.

Biblically, mountains are generally representative of nations.  This nation in particular, America, has as its national symbol a bird, specifically an eagle, the “bald eagle”.  Originally it was desired by certain “Founding Fathers” of Masonic persuasion that America’s symbol be the mythical Phoenix bird, but that was too obvious to ever become public.  Yet these same individuals looked at this eagle as a Phoenix “type”.  Dan actually wrote an excellent song entitled “Phoenix” (1979), from the album of the same name; here is a selection from this tune-

Like a Phoenix
I have risen from the flames
No more living
Someone else’s dreams

Basically, in terms of his name, we could then say that Daniel Grayling Fogelberg personified-

“a pleasant man with a prophetic gift who represented a country the symbol of which is a bird.”

In layman’s terms, Daniel Grayling Fogelberg was a pleasant man and a likely unknowing prophet, who prophetically represented his nation America (with great dignity, I might add).

From all accounts I have read, Dan Fogelberg was indeed a most pleasant and gracious man, a true gentleman with a heart of gold.  According to his mother, Margaret Fogelberg-

http://www.pjstar.com/news/x640787794/His-fans-say-goodbye

It’s wonderful that a child can attain this kind of fame and fortune and still remain such a decent human being.

Dan was certainly a loving son to his dear father, as is noted by biographer Paul Zollo in Portrait-

In 1975, learning that his father had taken ill and was in the hospital, Dan stopped everything to return to Peoria. He stayed there for many months until his dad recovered, spending his days at the hospital and his nights at a little studio in South Pekin. . .

Precisely by this time in his career, Dan Fogelberg had recently tasted success and was extremely busy writing and recording.  I would suggest that Dan’s compassionate actions in this regard would be a rarity amongst American musicians or, sadly, perhaps even amongst the American population in general.

And from Dan’s bride Jean-

http://nbta1.blogspot.com/2008/08/reach-note-from-jean-fogelberg.html

Dan was so many things: passionate sailor, incredible musician, loving husband, true friend, and a wonderful and unique human being.

Astounding Bible Connections:

I will now share with you actual Bible findings related to Dan Fogelberg.  This first finding may be only “coincidental”, but it is striking enough to include here for consideration.  Since Dan was born on 8/13 I thought to check Daniel 8:13 but, alas, that is a verse I know well for I have written an article about it!  Here is Daniel 8:13-

“Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?”

Sisters and brothers, this is one of the key “end times” verses in the entire Bible.  And it is only in this verse, not in any other, that we encounter an individual called “Palmowniy” or “that certain saint”.  He is none other than our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!  Here is the article which I wrote about Palmowniy-

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/2011/01/24/the-wonderful-numberer-of-secrets-palmoni-that-certain-saint/

And, courtesy of the Bible Wheel, here is the definition of “Palmowniy”-

פלמוני palmowniy {pal-mo-nee’} probably for 06423; TWOT – 1772a; pron AV – that certain 1; 1 1) a certain one

Please scan my above article for a summary of the reasons that “Palmowniy” most certainly represents the Lord Jesus Christ!  Now, all I am saying is that I believe this “coincidence” of Dan’s birth matching this profound verse just gives additional credence to his own prophetic stature.  Now, read on for there is much, much more!  The verse following Daniel 8:13 in continuity discusses one of the key numbers of scripture, the number 2300; here is Daniel 8:14-

“And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.”

Since I am suggesting here that Daniel Grayling Fogelberg has acted as a prophetic voice to America, let me reveal to you now his numerical name value, through the Bible-compatible English Gematria (based on 6, the number of man), courtesy of-

http://www.gematrix.org/?word=Daniel+Grayling+Fogelberg

daniel grayling fogelberg in English Gematria Equals: 1290

Fascinating, for we see the number “1290” in Daniel 12:11!  This has to do with an “extra” 30 days added on to the 1260 days proper of the Great Tribulation, another “end times” reference obviously.  Here is the only direct occurrence of the number 1290 in the entire Bible, Daniel 12:11-

“And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.”

Within this verse is a discussion of the same abomination event, and cleansing of the Temple, as noted in Daniel 8:13!  Clearly, Dan Fogelberg’s birth and name are interwoven into end times revelations within the Biblical book of Daniel, the book which shares his name!

My point now is this.  If we take the 2300 days from Daniel 8:14 (the discussion of which was initiated in Daniel 8:13), and subtract Dan’s 1290 Gematria (or, similarly, the 1290 as days from Daniel 12:11), we are left with 1010, a most amazing number in its own right-

2300 – 1290 = 1010

What might be the meaning of the number 1010?

http://www.biblewheel.com/gr/gr_1010.asp

“According to the order of Melkizadek”

From the linked article-

The patterns 1010, 2020, 3030 all relate strongly to titles of Christ (cf. 3030).

In Greek the value of these words is 2020, as compared to the 1010 in Hebrew!  Precisely as in the Daniel verses I have shown above, the number 1010 likewise has to do with the return of Jesus Christ!

There is more . . . Dan Fogelberg’s life is also tied into his home country America, through the Bible, in a most profound manner!

Daniel Grayling Fogelberg was born on August 13, 1951 and passed away on December 16, 2007.  His life span was therefore precisely 20,579 days-

http://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?m1=08&d1=13&y1=1951&m2=12&d2=16&y2=2007

From and including: Monday, August 13, 1951  Daniel Grayling Fogelberg Born in Peoria, Illinois

To, but not including: Sunday, December 16, 2007  Daniel Grayling Fogelberg Succumbs to Prostate Cancer

It is 20,579 days from the start date to the end date

In my years of research, I have discovered that for very prophetic people of renown, their particular life span* will generally reveal something profound about them when compared with the text of the Holy Bible.  After all, God Almighty has His own plan for each and every person.  Here is verse order number 20,579; Ezekiel 7:1-

“Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,”

First, let me mention that this verse is, in itself, obviously a prophetic nod, a suggestion of the gift of prophecy; i.e. it is firmly stating that the recipient has a word from the Lord to share with the world.  This verse obviously points to the great prophet Ezekiel, but to an extent it furthermore points to Dan Fogelberg as a prophetic “type” (of Ezekiel).

Next, let me interject into my previous discourse that if the calculated verse falls within the body of a particular Bible chapter, then that verse alone is to be considered (for an example, see footnote).  However, as in this case involving Dan, when the calculated verse itself is the very first verse of a chapter, it is my observation that the entire chapter can be considered relevant to the extent that (as in this case) it reflects a single prophecy.  This is especially profound!  Therefore, if God has a message for America as revealed through the life of Dan Fogelberg, it is most certainly to be found in Ezekiel Chapter 7; here is this amazing chapter, in full, verses 1 through 27 inclusive**

¹Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

  ²Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

  ³Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.

  ⁴And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

  ⁵Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.

  ⁶An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.

  ⁷The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.

  ⁸Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.

  ⁹And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth.

  ¹⁰Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.

  ¹¹Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of their’s: neither shall there be wailing for them.

  ¹²The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.

  ¹³For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

  ¹⁴They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.

  ¹⁵The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.

  ¹⁶But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.

  ¹⁷All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.

  ¹⁸They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.

  ¹⁹They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

  ²⁰As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.

  ²¹And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.

  ²²My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.

  ²³Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

  ²⁴Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.

  ²⁵Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

  ²⁶Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.

²⁷The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

From the Jamieson, Fausset, & Brown Commentary concerning Ezekiel 7 in its entirety (verses 1 through 27), I share the link and selected commentary-

http://www.searchgodsword.org/com/jfb/view.cgi?book=eze&chapter=007

Here is a summary of what the commentators say about Ezekiel 7, in general-

Lamentation over the coming ruin of Israel; the penitent reformation of a remnant; the chain symbolizing the captivity.

I would add that this clearly mirrors America Babylon’s fall, as America is undoubtedly a “type” of Israel and, in fact, is home to millions of descendants of the lost tribes.

And following is selected verse commentary (red is my addition, used in order to “highlight” the America Babylon-specific referenced verses)-

Verse 10. rod . . . blossomed, pride . . . budded–The “rod” is the Chaldean Nebuchadnezzar*, the instrument of God’s vengeance (Isaiah 10:5, Jeremiah 51:20). The rod sprouting (as the word ought to be translated), implies that God does not move precipitately, but in successive steps. He as it were has planted the ministers of His vengeance, and leaves them to grow till all is ripe for executing His purpose. “Pride” refers to the insolence of the Babylonian conqueror (Jeremiah 50:31,32). The parallelism (“pride” answering to “rod”) opposes JEROME’S view, that “pride” refers to the Jews who despised God’s threats; (also CALVIN’S, “though the rod grew in Chaldea, the root was with the Jews”). The “rod” cannot refer, as GROTIUS thought, to the tribe of Judah, for it evidently refers to the “smiteth” (Ezekiel 7:9) as the instrument of smiting.

*likewise the American President at the time of her fall as Babylon the Great, a man who is instrumental in bringing his own nation down, very likely Obama or his direct successor . . .

Verse 23. chain–symbol of the captivity (compare Jeremiah 27:2). As they enchained the land with violence, so shall they be chained themselves. It was customary to lead away captives in a row with a chain passed from the neck of one to the other. Therefore translate as the Hebrew requires, “the chain,” namely, that usually employed on such occasions. CALVIN explains it, that the Jews should be dragged, whether they would or no, before God’s tribunal to be tried as culprits in chains. The next words favor this: “bloody crimes,” rather, “judgment of bloods,” that is, with blood sheddings deserving the extreme judicial penalty. Compare Jeremiah 51:9: “Her judgment reacheth unto heaven.”

Verse 24. worst of the heathen–literally, “wicked of the nations“; the giving up of Israel to their power will convince the Jews that this is a final overthrow.
pomp of . . . strong–the pride wherewith men “stiff of forehead” despise the prophet.
holy places–the sacred compartments of the temple (Psalms 68:35, Jeremiah 51:51) [CALVIN]. God calls it “their holy places,” because they had so defiled it that He regarded it no longer as His. However, as the defilement of the temple has already been mentioned (Ezekiel 7:20,22), and “their sacred places” are introduced as a new subject, it seems better to understand this of the places dedicated to their idols. As they defiled God’s sanctuary, He will defile their self-constituted “sacred places.”

All of the verses which I have highlighted in red above, I will also feature below; again, these following verses all refer to America the Babylon.

Jeremiah 50:31 and 32-

“Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.  And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.”

Jeremiah 51:9-

“We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.”

Compare above verse (Jeremiah 51:9) to a specific “Babylon the Great” verse, Revelation 18:5-

“For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities”.

This reflects America’s end.

Continuing now with Jeremiah 51:20-

“Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;”

Jeremiah 51:51-

“We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’S house.”

All of this, sisters and brothers, is describing the Day of the Lord, and that fateful day begins with the destruction of America Babylon.  Dan Fogelberg, as a latter-day prophet (a role likely unbeknown to himself), is pointing to this amazing chapter in the Bible through the circumstances of his own life!  But backing up just a bit, let me reiterate that this particular and essential chapter (Ezekiel 7) clearly identifies an “Israel”, yet please keep in mind that most Bible prophecies have dual or even tertiary fulfillment; besides, again America has elements of “Israel” as per the lost tribes, and also I must bring to your attention that key indicator words in this chapter are clearly reminiscent of end times Babylon verses in Jeremiah (shared above), as well as of Isaiah, which describe the judgment of Babylon America, in addition to “Day of the Lord” verses in Daniel.  Please take heed of this profound, God-given connection to Ezekiel Chapter 7, for in its entirety it is speaking to America in no uncertain terms, and of a day soon to arrive on these hallowed shores!!!  Ezekiel 7 appears to be Dan Fogelberg’s prophetic witness, post-mortem, for his nation America!!!

Did Dan himself have an inkling of his own prophetic gift?  The lyrics of one of his first big hits, “Part of the Plan”, from the album Souvenirs, would seem to suggest so; lyrics in part-

Part of the Plan (1974, Dan Fogelberg)

Your conscience awakes and you see your mistakes
And you wish someone would buy your confessions
The days miss their mark and the night gets so dark
And some kind of message comes through to you
Some kind of message shoots through
And it says to you

Love when you can
Cry when you have to
Be who you must that’s a part of the plan
Await your arrival
With simple survival
And one day we’ll all understand
One day we’ll all understand

Indeed we will understand one day, Praise Him!

Dan’s Christ-Inspired Music and Additional Prophetic Songs:

One of Dan’s most memorable songs having widespread appeal and reaching great levels of success is “Leader of the Band” from his great double album The Innocent Age.  It was a dedication to his father, but it doesn’t take much imagination to also envision Our Father in Heaven through these beautiful lyrics; here they are, in part-

Leader of the Band (1980, Dan Fogelberg)-

An only child alone and wild
A cabinet maker’s son
His hands were meant for different work
And his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
And he gave to me a gift
I know I never can repay

A quiet man of music
Denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once
But his music wouldn’t wait
He earned his love thru’ discipline
A thundering velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand

The leader of the band
Is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs thru’ my instrument
And his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I’m just a living legacy
To the leader of the band

I thank you for the music
And your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom
When it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness
And the times when you got tough
And papa I don’t think I said
“I love you” near enough

I see “The Father” written all over this beautiful piece of music.  Oh, what a gift to America and the world was the man Dan Fogelberg!  And what very special parents he had!

Thank-you, Father, for blessing us all through Dan’s incredible gifts which You alone provided him, and that he perfected through his own dedication and hard work, in addition to the wonderful mentoring of his beloved parents.  Amen.

“The Leader of the Band” was an extraordinary song dedicated to a remarkable man, Lawrence Peter Fogelberg.

Following is one of Dan’s first memories, as poignantly expressed by Paul Zollo within the liner notes of Dan’s album Portraits (the entire biography by Mr. Zollo is outstanding)-

It’s one of his earliest memories: He’s four years old, standing up on a box in front of his father’s big band, baton in hand, conducting. Though his dad stood behind him, doing the real work, for Dan it was a foreshadowing of what his life would be — following in his father’s footsteps to become the leader of the band.

This foreshadowing was revealed on a night in 1979; here is the story from biographer Paul Zollo in Portrait-

In 1979 Dan brought this show (Nether Lands) to Carnegie Hall in New York, which was one of the proudest moments of his life. His parents were in attendance, allowing him to finally prove to his father, as if there were still any questions about it, that he, too, was a “legitimate musician.” The leader of the band had only been to the historic hall once before many decades earlier, to see Arturo Toscanini conduct the New York Philharmonic. It was a night that both father and son never forgot.

Likewise, the song “Holy Road” from the album River of Souls makes multiple references to God the Creator.  This song was also given to Dan in a dream; this is how he describes the song (from the liner notes of the album)-

This song was given to me on my birthday one year up in Maine.  It’s an odd song.  Kind of like partying with God in the French Quarter after the Apocalypse.

Full lyrics from “Holy Road” are shown here-

Holy Road (1993, Dan Fogelberg)-

Last night I dreamed I was looking down
On the planet Earth spinning ’round and ’round
And as I cast my gaze about,
I watched her lovely light go out
The light went out

And floating in the black of space
I was looking into God’s own face
And in His hand He held this tiny Earth
He said well ain’t it a shame what they’ve done to her
After I’d shown them to the holy road, the holy road
After I’d shown them to the holy road, the holy road

Well, I laid a bounty in their hands
And only gave them ten commands
But they never learned their lessons very well
And they drove My garden straight to hell
That’s when they fell off of the holy road, the holy road
That’s when they fell off of the holy road, the holy road

Let me tell you
Well the popes were frauds and the kings were fools
And your presidents only dupes and tools
And the money makers and the Chiefs of Staff
Who worshipped of that golden calf
They turned their backs upon the holy road, the holy road
They turned their backs upon the holy road, the holy road

And then I told him
Well you made the sun and you made the sky
The things that crawl and the things that fly
And then you made the human race
And he said well everybody makes mistakes
I thought they’d want to walk the holy road, the holy road
I thought they’d want to walk the holy road, the holy road

And even though it was just a dream
It seemed as real as it could seem
And often dreams the truth forebodes
You got to get back children on the holy road
Get back children on the holy road

From the same album is this excellent song, “Magic Every Moment”, inspired by an actual event which is revealed in the initial lines of the song.  The lyrics follow-

Magic Every Moment (1993, Dan Fogelberg)-

I awoke this morning to a shattering sound
And I went downstairs and found these shards of glass strewn all around
And there upon the floor I found this poor broken dove
And it made me realize how very fragile is this life that we so love

I came back up to bed and I held you so tight
And I prayed up to the Father, oh I prayed with all my might
That He’d always keep you with me, that He’d always keep you safe
And when I went downstairs I found that dove had somehow up and flown away

There’s a magic every moment
There’s a miracles each day
There’s a magic every moment
Oh won’t you let the music play
Oh won’t you let the music play

On a high and windy island I was gazing out to sea
When a long forgotten feeling came and took control of me
It was then the clouds burst open and the sun came pouring through
When it hit those dancing waters in an instant all eternity I knew

There’s so much we take for granted, there’s so much we never say
We get caught up in the motion of just a living day to day
We are fettered to the future, we are prisoners of the past
And we never seem to notice ’til our lives have finally slipped right through our grasp

There’s a magic every moment
There’s a miracles each day
There’s a magic every moment
Oh won’t you let the music play
Oh won’t you let the music play

You can see forever in a single drop of dew
You can see that same forever if you look down deep inside of you
There’s a spark of the creator in every living thing
He respects me when I work but He so loves me when I sing

There’s a magic every moment
There’s a miracles each day
There’s a magic every moment
Oh won’t you let the music play
Oh won’t you let the music play

There’s a magic every moment
There’s a miracles each day
There’s a magic every moment
Oh won’t you let the music play
Oh won’t you let the music play

Here is what Dan says about the inspiration for this song, from the album’s liner notes-

Sometimes songs come from the strangest places.  I was suffering through writer’s block when an out of control bird smashed into a window at my home on the coast of Maine.  I’ve been writing a lot since that morning.  Special Thanks to the dove.

This is the type of event which will frequently happen to a prophetically-blessed person.  I have many such experiences in my own life.  I find it confirming as well that the bird which crashed into his window was a dove, the symbol of the Holy Spirit.  Wonderful to know that the inspiration for this particular song came through the Holy Spirit; it is certainly a lovely composition.  The relationship between the dove and the Holy Spirit is revealed in several places in the Bible, and notably in Matthew 3:16-

“And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:”

To this point, I have discussed that Dan actually received the prophetic songs “Faces of America” and “Holy Road” within dreams, and you know from a previous section of this article that Dan has a strong prophetic connection to both of the Bible prophets Daniel and Ezekiel.  It is fascinating that, of the four major prophets of the Bible (also including Isaiah and Jeremiah), it is Daniel and Ezekiel who are most recognized for the gift of both prophetic dreams and dream interpretation.

Speaking of gifts, in my opinion one of Dan’s greatest gifts to the world was his recording of a gorgeous Christmas album, which was released in October 1999; The First Christmas Morning.  On the album are two original songs, which I believe reveal to all of us that Dan was very much aware of the love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ the Messiah.  Here are these two lovely songs written by Dan Fogelberg-

Christ The King (1999, Dan Fogelberg)-

Christ the King, born in a manger
Christ the King is born on this day
All of nature joins the rejoicing
Banish misfortune away
Banish misfortune away

Lift your voice, join in the singing
Lift your voice in a song of goodwill
Lift your heart to the glorious season
Bid all your sorrows be still
Bid all your sorrows be still

Christ the King, born in a manger
Christ the King is born on this day
All of nature joins the rejoicing
Banish misfortune away
Banish misfortune away

Dan had this to say about “Christ the King”; from the album liner notes-

Another of my own carols that I wrote in about 10 minutes in a flash of inspiration one Christmas in the early 90’s.  The arrangement is very Old-Country Austrian with a few nods to Bach and Beethoven.

The First Christmas Morning (1999, Dan Fogelberg)-

Away in the east shines a star in the sky
That leads us to where He is born
And bearing good tidings and gifts we shall give
To Him on this first Christmas morning
To Him on this first Christmas morning

Holy our journey and holy our love
That takes us to find and adore Him
And blessed the baby that sleeps in his bed
And wakes on this first Christmas morning
And wakes on this first Christmas morning

Ahhh-Ahhh Alleluia
Ahhh-Ahhh Alleluia
Ahhh-Ahhh Alle
Ahhh-Ahhh Alle
Ahhh-Ahhh Alleluia

The Lord in His wisdom, the Lord in His grace
Has given to man a redeemer
To save us from sin and to show us the light
That shines on this first Christmas morning
And will shine ever each Christmas morning
[Repeat Alleluia]

Here is what Dan himself had to say regarding the story behind his composing this song; from the album liner notes (in part)-

The song that inspired this whole project.  While mixing “EXILES” during December of 1986 in Los Angeles, I would stop at the hotel bar for a nightcap on my way to bed.  Christmas was coming on and I would sit by myself each night listening to a tape of Christmas carols on the lounge’s sound system while sipping my Irish whiskey.  I became fascinated by what made these songs so timeless and universal and spent many hours analyzing their common denominators.  Then, during a lull in the mixing at Sunset Sound, I sat down at the piano and wrote the song in about an hour – lyrics and all.  I’m very pleased to at last get to present it as I think it is one of the most beautiful melodies I’ve written.

David Moll of the Peoria Star Journal conducted a fine interview with Dan (dated 12/9/1999), which focused strongly on his Christmas album.  The link is below, and I quote from it in part-

http://www.thelivinglegacy.net/Media/PeoriaJournalStar99.html

Christmas albums, of course, can be cynical enterprises, cranked out by the numbers to capitalize on an automatic market. But Fogelberg, 48, says this is different.

“This is one of the goals of my life as a musician,” he said. “This is definitely something I wanted to get accomplished in my lifetime.”

There’s reason to believe it. Of the 13 tracks on the CD, only four are what you would call well known Christmas songs. The others are obscure medieval carols, or Fogelberg originals – many of them instrumentals – that took their inspiration from that period. That’s not an approach that would seem logical if you were just looking to cash in.

“I started writing original (Christmas songs) 12 years ago,” Fogelberg said. “Ever since then, not every year but a lot of years, I wrote an original piece each Christmas . . . I (eventually) realized I had about half a CD of original music.”

Making the album, which he worked on for a year and a half, involved researching old carols to find out “what made these songs so timeless and universal.” . . . the finished product, he said, is less in the pop tradition than in the classical tradition he absorbed from his parents, Lawrence and Margaret Fogelberg (his song “Leader of the Band” was written for his father, a bandleader and music teacher).

“My mom heard it, and she said, “‘It’s a classical record.’”

Amen, it is classical indeed, and is also the finest Christmas album I have ever heard!  You had better believe that I am listening to it daily this time of year!

In Dan’s own words, from the liner notes of his album, we read (in part)-

Since my own childhood, Christmas has always been my favorite time of year . . . for me, a large part of Christmas is the music, and I have always been drawn to the Christmas songs, carols, and hymns of Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque times . . . I hope in my own small way I have added to the body of music that has been composed throughout the ages to glorify the Birth of Christ and the Spirit of Christmas.  I wish you and yours a very merry holiday season and may the light and love of Christmas time fill your heart all the year ‘round.

This is astoundingly beautiful music which has been composed or arranged by Dan Fogelberg.  Although I never had the opportunity to meet or know him, it sounds to me that Dan was a man of strong faith as he entered his final years.  With this in mind, I introduce the next section . . .

A Proper Memorial, Jean’s Quest, and an Appeal:

As I mentioned earlier, Daniel Grayling Fogelberg died of prostate cancer at the young age of 56.  Dan’s lovely bride, Jean Fogelberg, is very active in pursuing a cure for this horrific disease.  On Valentine’s Day 2005, just 9 months after his May 2004 diagnosis, Dan gave Jean one dozen long-stemmed red roses along with a song entitled “Sometimes A Song”.  What a beautiful gift from the man with a heart of gold!

This song is available for purchase only in MP3 format, with all proceeds going to prostate cancer research.  You can purchase this lovely song at either Amazon, iTunes, Rhapsody, or Wal-Mart.  Here is a website link with basic details-

http://www.danfogelberg.com/infosometimesasong.html

Please contribute as the Lord leads!  The song is absolutely gorgeous, and as one of Dan’s last songs it is certainly a “must have” for all true fans!

Jean, who is artistically very gifted, has designed attractive cards, ties, pins, and other fine items which are available for purchase.  Again, all proceeds go to prostate cancer research, specifically through the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF); information here-

http://continuedansquest.com/

And the PCF website is-

www.pcf.org

Jean also has her own blog, which deals with the support of caregivers.  The support of caregivers is a very important and oft-overlooked area, and she does a fine job of sustaining those who selflessly devote their lives to the needs of others.  I have spent some time on Jean’s blog in order to educate myself on this topic, as my own mother is suffering from Alzheimer’s and requires nearly constant care.  I have learned a great deal through Jean’s compassionate writing, and feel like I am getting to know her, in a sense, via her words.  The link to Jean’s blog is here-

http://dontloseheart.org/

Now, along these lines, this seems like an opportune moment to mention an impressive website for Dan’s fans, the “Fogelberg Foundation of Peoria”, found here-

http://dfpeoria.com/

And a nice link to Dan’s fan club-

http://www.thelivinglegacy.net/

Due to the hard work and efforts of many fans and volunteers, the Dan Fogelberg Memorial opened at Riverfront Park and Constitution Gardens in Peoria, on August 28, 2010.  The park is located on the banks of the Illinois River near a spot where Dan used to play his guitar and compose his early songs.

http://www.pjstar.com/news/x640787794/His-fans-say-goodbye

Event attendee Jean Relihan of Milwaukee had this to say-

Everyone lost something when Dan died.  Everybody has a story, what his words meant to us.

I concur.  In fact, I have trouble even expressing what his words meant to me, but I can say that they greatly affected my entire adult life!  His effect on me also comprises both my pre-saved and Christian days, as well as all of the meaningful relationships in my life.

Two years earlier, another fitting tribute was the unveiling of the Fogelberg Memorial Parkway, which was dedicated on September 9, 2008.

And here is an article which speaks about the Memorial dedication, although by necessity indeed fails to fully capture the raw emotion which true fans of Dan must have felt-

http://www.pjstar.com/news/x640787794/His-fans-say-goodbye

And finally, a unique perspective from a gifted musician who was actually present and performed at the dedication ceremony itself, Tom Hampton-

http://tomhampton.wordpress.com/2010/08/30/dan-fogelberg-memorial-dedication-weekend-in-peoria-illinois/

i’d originally planned on driving out and playing the show and turning around and going home, but – i was here. i was inpeoria, walking the streets of the town he grew up in.

i know that, at my age, this kinda thing should be SO behind me. now that i think about it, i don’t really know too many people my age who outwardly recognize anyone as heroes…and i guess that’s fine. i mean, i don’t know that it puts me in a better or a worse place or anything of that nature, and i feel a little weird admitting it in a public forum…but i was a little caught up in it when i was there. the whole notion that this was where HE grew up, where HIS family was from, where HE spent his formative years…it was very much present in my mind while i was there. BUT – i also couldn’t help wondering how he’d feel about all this…about all these people descending upon his hometown, riding the streets in trolleys with a guide pointing out various points of interest that were germaine to his life there. knowing what a private person he was in his own time, i felt at times like an unwelcome peeping tom…looking into windows that i had no business looking into. literally, at times – standing on the steps of the now-closed woodruff high school, looking through the glass of the doorway and down the empty halls and thinking of the ghosts that now had the run of the place…even though it looked as though it readily awaited the return of students in the mere days that would elapse before the approaching school year started.

Personally, one of the saddest things which I learned about through my research into Dan’s home town of Peoria is that the High School which Dan Fogelberg attended, Woodruff High, and at which his father was the “Leader of the Band” for decades, is now closed forever, a part of America’s past.  A symbol of America’s lost promise.  One of those “Faces of America” which are no more to be found.  Perhaps even a sign of the death of America’s heartland, a mere precursor to the agonizing death of the entirety of America herself.

Concluding Remarks:

Dan Fogelberg was not only a master musician and songwriter, but he also had an acute prophetic gift, and he has left all Americans with a most deep and insightful message of what is yet to come.    The connections of his life to the Bible book of Daniel and to Chapter 7 of Ezekiel are absolutely stunning, and the fact that Dan hailed from the cultural and symbolic center of America; Peoria, Illinois, cannot be overemphasized.  Dan Fogelberg will be deeply missed, yet his music lives on and his message to America is even more profound than he could have ever imagined.  As such, his passing is a foreshadowing of America’s own soon demise.

Today, December 16, I’d like to encourage all of you, the readers, to purchase your own CD of The First Christmas Morning and listen intently to all of the beautiful songs.  And, of course, during each Christmas season since 1981 Dan’s lovely hit song “Same Aud Lang Syne” has brought many to tears.

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve . . .

A Personal Farewell:

The faces of America, indeed . . . where did they go?  Where are the prophets?  Where are the Dan Fogelberg types, those rare men who are American to the core?  Where is the love for one’s neighbor, the embracing of our country’s great heritage?  What became of our beloved “One Nation Under God”?

Dan Fogelberg can never be replaced.  For, as I have said in this article, to a great extent Dan “was”America.

Following is a letter I wrote during that period of time when I finally realized that Dan Fogelberg was terminally ill, sometime in 2007.  These are simply some heartfelt emotions and thoughts I penned, never expecting to make public.  Yet here they are now, as the timing seems perfect today-

Good-bye, Dan, and thank-you for being with me, through your music, during each and every phase of my adult life, the good times and the bad.  You always had the perfect song for every moment and every step of the way.  Even though you’re ten years older than me, it seemed at times that you were actually living my own life.  And, Dan, thank-you for using your God-given gifts to their fullest extent.  You are a great American, an amazing and wonderful person, and a blessing to the entire world.  I doubt that you could ever know how much you mean to people; not only to me but to multitudes, yet your impact on so many has been deep and profound, beyond any words which I could ever string together myself with my limited capacity for such.  In fact, you are the only one who could find the right words; you always did find them, Dan, you are the architect of poetic music.  Indeed, you are a true artist and man of the highest caliber.  And you will be greatly missed, my brother.  I’ll see you in Heaven, ‘Ever On’ brother Dan.

And here is another personal note which I did not include in the letter.  You see, my first kiss with my beloved Mariana, love of my life, happened in Dan’s adopted town of Nederland, Colorado (the album title Nether Lands of which is “a play” on the town name).  It had just started to snow on that late October day, and I pulled the Ford over to the shoulder of the road.  The rest is history, as they say.  Below is the link to my farewell poem for my true love Mariana; as poetry goes a far cry from Dan’s eloquence yet, like his music, entirely from the heart-

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/2011/11/26/dedicado-a-mariana/

A few lines from the poem-

The waves pound the shore
As my heart speaks to yours
A gentle sea breeze
Yet a soul ne’er at ease
A soul not at rest
Haunting memories of the past
Come calling
As the gulls cackle their mocking laughs
Memories of springtimes and autumns long ago
Scattered as the sand on the shore . . .

A final personal story I will share involves Dan’s own “divorce album”, the raw yet refined and emotionally-charged Exiles.  The intense yet gorgeous music on this CD helped me to cope with a devastating breakup of my own.  That is, Dan’s music in combination with some 101 Proof Wild Turkey, good ole American bourbon.  I’ve scanned the CD sleeve here; note the small piece of “Wild Turkey wing” to the upper left, which is obviously not part of the original image.

I was carrying around both the half pint and the CD booklet in my pocket for what must have been days, and at some point they partially merged into one.  The back of the CD sleeve reveals a shattered wine glass and spilled wine, a most fitting symbol if there ever was one.

I will conclude this article with Dan’s own words.

First, from the 1974 album Souvenirs, selected lyrics from “There’s a Place in the World for a Gambler”-

There’s a place in the world
For a gambler
There’s a burden that only
He can bear
There’s a place in the world
For a gambler,

And he sees
Oh, yes he sees…
And he sees
Oh, yes he sees…

From Dan’s 1977 album Nether Lands, from the song of the same name; selected lyrics-

Once in a vision
I came on some woods
And stood at a fork in the road
My choices were clear
Yet I froze with the fear
Of not knowing which way to go
One road was simple
Acceptance of life
The other road offered sweet peace
When I made my decision
My vision became my release.

Finally, from the song “In The Passage” off of the smash 1981 double album The Innocent Age here are selected lyrics-

And in the passage
From the cradle to the grave
We are born, madly dancing
Rushing headlong through the
crashing of the days
We run on and on
Without a backwards glance
We run on and on
Without a backwards glance.

The places dash and the faces dart
Like fishes in a dream
Hiding ‘neath the murky banks
of long forgotten streams
The lines of life are never long
when seen from end to end
The future’s never coming
and the past has never been.

From Dan’s original album, recorded in 1972, Home Free, selected lyrics from his first hit song “To The Morning”-

And maybe there are seasons
And maybe they change
And maybe to love is not so strange.

The sounds of the day
They hurry away
Now they are gone until tomorrow.

When day will break
And you will wake
And you will rake your hands
Across your eyes
And realize

That it’s going to be a day
There is really no way to say no
To the morning.

Yes it’s going to be a day
There is really nothing left to say but
Come on morning.

Robert Witkowski interviewed Jean Fogelberg for the April 2010 issue of Portland Monthly Magazine.

http://www.portlandmonthly.com/portmag/2010/03/wild-child/

In response to the prompt “Tell us the most courageous and inspiring thing he said, toward the end, that we can learn from–whether it’s life, music, health, spirit, love, or beauty”, this is what Jean had to say about Dan-

The most courageous thing he said towards the end? That would have to be the songs he sang on Love In Time. He started recording the album right before the cancer diagnosis. The courage and determination it took to return to the studio over the next two years and finish the album, despite discomfort and drug side-effects, and knowing they were the last songs he would ever record, is astounding to me. The CD ends with a hauntingly beautiful chord that’s eerily similar to the chord that opens the first song on his first album, To The Morning. Ask any long-time Dan Fan and they’ll tell you, this is Dan telling us, life goes on. That,

“There is really nothing left to say but come on morning.”

From Dan-

For better or worse, I have followed my heart.  There is no doubt in my mind or heart that everything I’ve done is exactly what I intended to do.

============================================================

Jean’s beautiful, touching, and absolutely incredible tribute to Dan is linked here-

http://nbta1.blogspot.com/2008/08/reach-note-from-jean-fogelberg.html

Here is a short excerpt from the beginning-

Dan had asked me to pick a beautiful day in late summer, go out with our friends Jon and Sherry on their boat “Free Spirit”, and scatter his ashes on the Reach. He wanted me to do it just before sunset, at the marker where he would turn at the end of the day to return to the cove, and home.

Please read the entire short article for the full, powerful impact.

Selected lyrics from Dan’s lovely and powerful song “The Reach”, from album The Innocent Age-

The wind brings a chill
There’s a frost on the sill in the morning
It creeps through the door
On the edge of the shore
ice is forming
Soon the northers will bluster and blow
And the woods will be whitened
with snowfall
And the Reach will lie frozen
for the lost and unchosen to row –

And the morning will blow away
As the waves crash and fall
And the Reach like a siren sings
as she beckons and calls
As the coastline recedes from view
And the seas swell and roll
I will take from the Reach
all that she has to teach
To the depths of my soul –

Dan, I pray that we will one day meet in Heaven.

With Love in Christ,

============================================================

*One example is beloved Christian children’s author C.S. Lewis, whose life span was 23,733 days.  Here is Bible verse no. 23,733; Matthew 18:5-

“And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.”

Another example is pop singer Madonna, although obviously she is still alive.  Under authority of the Holy Spirit, I have made stunning connections which compare her to the Biblical “queen of heaven” through details of Madonna’s own birth.  Article here-

**The Lord confirmed such to me supernaturally on December 14, as I was finishing up this article.  You see, I had lunch at a local restaurant and paid $7.01 (Ezekiel 7:1).  Mine was order #27 (Ezekiel 7 has 27 verses plus Daniel is book #27 of the Bible).  Profound.

As Christians we are obviously to be concerned with the spiritual condition of others, and we are to witness to them about the love of Jesus Christ, as well as regarding the truth that He is the only path to salvation.  Since this poem was written for a certain Mariana, someone very precious to me, I will now attempt to reach her through this blog.  Once upon a time, Mariana was my “true love”, whatever that is really supposed to mean, anyway.  Seems to me “true” would imply “forever”.  Blessings to all of you fortunate people who have a wonderful spouse who loves you, and you them.  I know that it happens, Praise God!  I have heard the lovely stories*.  It must be incredible to have a partner in this life, beside you every step of the way, in love and in support of you and your ministry, your best friend in the world.  However, in my case, I can honestly say that Jesus Christ is the only true, true love I have ever known.  Never have I found anyone on this earth who was “true”.  Anyway, those of us who are called as prophetic watchmen are often loners, certainly the Bible prophets were generally unattached, and I am certainly not complaining; rather, I wholly embrace my calling.  Just want you to understand where I’m coming from in this atypical article.  This particular watchman is very much looking forward to Heaven, whenever and however it is that I meet Him.

This little poem was written years ago while I sat on a lovely beach at the very edge of the nation and continent.  The poetic quality itself is probably amateurish or downright novice, but I do not care in the least.  The Lord knows that it is 100% from the heart.  Furthermore, this quaint little rhyme is not doing anyone any good tucked into my desk drawer as it has been, after having been penned on a now-yellowing scrap of paper.

As my regular readers know, I am certain that America has but mere years left before her demise by fire.  Mariana is one of the many unsaved people within America whose soul is eternally at stake when America falls in an hour via a nuclear hell-storm.  Like most Americans (indeed, she has dual citizenship), Mariana worships the false gods (idols) of prosperity, materialism, self-indulgence, entertainment, and so forth.  My prayer is that she will come to know the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ before it is too late.

Without further ado here is the poem-

Dedicado a Mariana, O Meu Amor Verdadeiro

The Waves Pound the Shore

As My Heart Speaks To Yours

A Gentle Sea Breeze

Yet A Soul Ne’er At Ease

A Soul Not At Rest

Haunting Memories of The Past

Come Calling

As The Gulls Cackle Their Mocking Laughs

Memories of Springtimes

And Autumns

Long Ago

Scattered As the Sand

On The Shore

My True Love Lives Not Far Away

Now, We Are But Dear Friends

So They Say

But I Never Even Know

Where Is She Today?

My Heart Yearns For Her

Is It Returned?

Does She Know the Love

Of Which I’m Aware?

The Love Which Burns

And Shatters

And Tears?

The Void That Is Left

When One’s Love Is Not Shared?

The Ache, the Pain, the Loneliness

Of So Many Years

Come Calling

I Often Dream Of Her at Night

We Are Laughing & Kissing

In The Moon Light

Then I Awaken To My World

Of Emptiness

Each Day I Must Face Without Her

My Only

And Each Day She Is With Me

In My Heart

Each Day I Must Face

The Work I Must Do . . .

. . . But What Does It Mean

Without Her?

Long Ago, Together, We Would Embrace

The Autumn

We Would Welcome the Flowers

In Spring

Now The Seasons Have No Meaning

Despair Is the Burden I Bear

There Is No Cure

None, But Love So Pure

Like The Snow White Sand

I Must Believe

She May Love Me Still

She May Yet Return

Dear God, Let The Sea Breeze Carry

These Words to Her Ears . . .

I have long since given up on the “hope” exhibited within the final lines of this poem.  Yet, the written ending is still ideal for this new purpose, for it is my fervent prayer that God let her hear the Word that indeed she, Mariana, may turn to Jesus Christ as her only hope in this fallen world.

Meanwhile, I will never cease praying for you, Mariana.  That I might see you in Heaven.  And, I want to say “good-bye” before the elements melt with fervent heat, before it is determined of America “And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.” (Revelation 18:14).

In Christ Jesus,

Carlos

“Goodbye my true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann . . . ” [Waylon Jennings, "Mary Ann Regrets"]

“Of all the souls I’ve ever known, mine sings to yours and yours alone . . .”  [Dan Fogelberg, “A Love Like This”]

*Couple Married 72 Years Dies Holding Hands . . . story below-

http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-iowa-couple-dies-holding-hands,0,3527891.story

. . . while hospitalized, their conditions worsened and they were moved to a room with side-by-side beds, allowing them to hold hands.

Gordon Yeager died at 3:38 p.m. last Wednesday. Although his breathing had stopped, his heart monitors still registered a heartbeat, family members say. Nurses said the monitors were actually picking up Norma’s heartbeat through her hand.

Norma died at 4:48 p.m. — exactly one hour later.

‘Dad used to say that a woman is always worth waiting for,’ the couple’s son, Dennis Yeager, told ABC. ‘Dad waited an hour for her and held the door for her.’

Yesterday was quite the strange day, indeed one wrought with the attacks of the enemy.  Attacks of the enemy are of themselves commonplace; however, there were some odd events and prophetic confirmations yesterday.  On this Sabbath morn, I arose early and went to the back yard where I saw a most unusual sight- a dead rat.  This was a big rat, clearly not a simple house mouse.  This rat was big enough to scare a cat, if not chase one!  It appeared that someone had tossed it into my yard from the public walkway space behind the 2.5 meters high fence.

I next went inside and checked my computer for news, comments, and e-mails.  That is when I came across this article entitled-

“Suspected White House shooter claimed to be modern Jesus Christ”.

This article is referencing, of course, the 11/11/11 shooting of two bullets toward the White House, one of which shattered a second floor exterior window.  Here is the link-

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/suspected-white-house-shooter-claimed-modern-jesus-christ-192950611.html

And a quote-

The suspect, Oscar Ortega-Hernandez, is shown in viral video footage claiming to be the “modern-day Jesus Christ”.

He believed he “needed to kill” the president because Obama was “the anti-Christ”.

Well, this is very interesting.  Certainly, as I have stated on this blog, it is possible that Mr. Obama could eventually be revealed as the anti-christ.  However, if Mr. Ortega-Hernandez is claiming to be Jesus Christ, then he is himself also a “type” of anti-christ, is he not?  Certainly he is!

Yet incredibly Mr. Ortega-Hernandez is not the only person I came across yesterday who placed a claim of being Jesus Christ, or at least claimed His name!  You see, after I attended the memorial service of a friend, which was obviously an emotionally-draining experience, I went home and found a certain nasty comment in this blog’s “Comments” section which was there awaiting my approval.  This comment was addressed to me as in response to my Christchurch earthquakes article linked here-

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/2011/02/22/the-christchurch-new-zealand-earthquake-of-2222011-a-spiritual-analysis-including-implications-for-neighboring-australia/

Now, one word in particular which the commenter used was too vile for this Christian blog, but I show the comment below with the necessary “dashed line” edits (all of my changes to his text are in a lighter gray).  Certainly, I would not “approve” his comment and therefore expose my God-granted blog to more anti-Christian ranting from the same person through the process of “automatic approval”.  First, please read the comment and then I will share with you more about the writer.

You are a complete moron, you and your nut case religious bulls— (not “eye”; rather it rhymes with “pit”), I have lived through all these quakes and the last thing we need is some nut job like you rambling on with some esoteric dribble about how all this is ordained by god, what a crock!! tell me mister smart arse, why in the quakes most of the churches where knocked to the ground and the whore houses and drinking establishments stayed upright? you people are as mad as the deluded muslims you despise, go see a shrink and get a life, loser!

This vile comment was written by one “jesus christ”.  Yes, that is correct, he calls himself “jesus christ” and he is affiliated with “religion (is) a joke”.  Now, first I must point out that this “jesus christ” character made several mistakes within his short paragraph.  Had he read my article carefully he would have noted that I most certainly did explain why churches were felled, and that is because “judgment begins at the house of God”.  “Christchurch” is obviously symbolic of the “house of God”, as is a church building. Another mistake is that he did not capitalize “God”, and I was clearly referring to the One True God not some “god” which could even refer to the man’s TV set or to his lover on that particular day.  And yet another mistake the commenter made is that he assumed I despise muslims, an assumption which could not be further from the truth.  Rather, I pity muslims, and furthermore I love them with the love of Christ, at least to the very best of my ability as an imperfect man to share His love.  However, since I follow the One True God it is obvious to me that muslims follow satan.  Which brings me to my final point- “jesus christ” seems to believe that “religion (is) a joke” and therefore would probably consider that he is not a religious person himself.  To the contrary, this man is clearly religious in that he is acting as a pawn of satan and is therefore doing the devil’s work, albeit perhaps unbeknownst to him!  The devil is a very religious entity (as can be ascertained from observing the actions of pious muslims)!  Lastly, I am not a “loser”.  I am among the small group of “winners”, in fact, those of us who know the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior.  Sadly, this commenter is still a loser, but I pray that he might miraculously come to know the Lord.  You see, it is all about following the One True God or following the world (the devil); there is no middle ground and there are very few winners.  We winners spend eternity in His presence, Praise Him!  Our short time on this fallen earth is all about making the right choice!  Matthew 16:25-

“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.“

I find it truly amazing and even prophetic that the two false “Jesus Christ” figures appeared “on the scene” in the space of a single day!  Praise God, though, that the arrow the devil led “jesus christ” to shoot at me bounced off of the Armor of the Savior which I am wearing and headed right back to him, i.e. right back to satan’s pawn.  You see, without the true Christ in his heart that man doesn’t know about the Armor of God (tragically, I might add).

Since he sent this comment at minute 1054 of the day, I thought I’d see what the Bible has to say about that number.  There are only six verses with this Gematria; here are two of them; Deuteronomy 32:31-

“For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.”

And Psalms 18:17-

“He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.”

Indeed, He delivers me each day from the attacks of satan.  Praise Him!

Another interesting fact is that after I copied the comment of “jesus christ”, and appropriately placed it in the “Spam” box, I noticed it was Spam #2520, the number of the writing on the wall in Daniel 5; basically, the number of the fall of Babylon.  Isn’t that ironic?  The man who called himself “jesus christ”, yet (presumably inadvertently) working for the devil, tried to attack me but instead confirmed the validity and Christ calling of this entire ministry; that is, to warn that America is end-times Babylon and that she will soon fall.

Finally, I would like to thank all of the sisters and brothers who pray for me daily.  I love you, I appreciate you, and this small ministry needs your continued support.  I would like to ask you to please consider praying for the others in the small group of “end-times” Christian bloggers as these sisters and brothers of mine are all under constant spiritual attack.  Remember, “jesus christ” referred to “you people”, that is more than just me; rather, that is all of us who are trying to reveal and spread the Truth before it is too late!

“jesus christ”, I pray that you will meet the True Jesus Christ, that you may also be a winner!  And that we could one day be brothers in Christ.  I certainly hold no ill will toward you; rather, I am reminded; Ephesians 6:12-

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

With Love in Christ,

21 November, 2011 Update-

The Lord is amazing!  He has given me some insight into this “jesus christ” character through a powerful dream.  Here goes-

I saw this man across a darkened room, in front of a large screen TV.  He was playing a video game; I don’t know which game but it involved war, as I witnessed lots of military equipment and shooting going on.  I heard his spiritual name- it was Louis (or Lewis) Pratt.

So, what might this name mean?  Through this name, we will be able to get a spiritual identity of the actual person behind the vile comment.

From a variety of sources, which all confirm one another, here are definitions of the name Pratt-

Clever Trickster

Wile (Deceptive, Ensnaring) in Matters of Warfare

Strategic Fighter

Astute

Fool

Cunning

Lives Near a Meadow

Arse (from which the word “Pratfall” is derived; interesting in that the commenter actually used this term in a derogatory way!)

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~iowa/Pratt.html

http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Pratt.html

http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Pratt-family-history.ashx

 A surname from the Old English prœt meaning trick.

The word ‘pratt’ is still, however, used to this day to mean a fool.

 English: nickname for a clever trickster, from Old English prætt ‘trick’, ‘tricky’, ‘cunning’.

Pratt or ‘cunning men‘ were rather like male white witches and were men learned in folklore and herbal medicine.

The name Pratt originates from Scotland, with apparent links back to Iceland.  Since half of New Zealanders have Scottish ancestry, this spiritual name fits in a realistic sense as well.  Here is a detailed analysis of the origins of this name-

http://aztecrose.tripod.com/bluedove/grant.htm

And, next, the dominant meaning of the name Louis-

Famed Warrior

http://www.babynames.com/name/LOUIS

http://baby-names.adoption.com/search/louis.html

Obviously, both his first and last names have to do with “war” and “warfare”, and strikingly confirm one another.  It also fits the “war” theme in the dream!  We could summarize his spiritual name “Louis Pratt” then, as-

A Famous, Cunning, and Strategic Warrior who uses Trickery and Deception in an attempt to Ensnare, though he is in actuality a Fool

This is very near to the definition of “satan” himself.  It seems to me that the man is under high level demonic control.  That would certainly explain his comment as well as its particular timing.  He desperately needs our prayers.

Praise God for His amazing and mighty ways!  The man has been exposed for who he truly is, and the spirit under which he operates!

Sisters and brothers, I realize that this may all sound kind of bizarre, but it is simply spiritual warfare.  There are constant battles going on all around us believers, in the generally-unseen but very real spiritual realm.  And the more you take a stand for Jesus Christ, the more you will be attacked.  Get used to it, for this is increasing in intensity as we enter the final years.  And please read up on spiritual warfare, that you might be able to discern these attempts and cut them off at the source!  Mostly, keep prayed up and wear the Armor of Jesus Christ constantly; time is short!  Blessings to you all . . .

An angel of the Lord spoke this word to me, a word I had never before heard-

Divat

It was a crystal clear pronouncement, grabbing my attention and jolting me awake.  I jotted down the word in my dream journal, the spelling of which I was somehow certain, and prayed for insight, even trying to return to sleep (yet to no avail).  I got up and “Googled” the word.  Much to my surprise “Divat” is Czech in origin*.

Here is a link; you can even listen to the pronunciation!-

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/d%C3%ADvat

Verb

dívat imperfective

(reflexive, se) to look (to try to see)

(reflexive, se) to watch

Sisters and brothers, this was a “wake-up call” not only for me, but for us all to be alert and ready, constantly, never letting our guards down!

Here is “watch” (verb) in Biblical Hebrew and Greek-

צפה tsaphah {tsaw-faw’} a primitive root; TWOT – 1950; v AV – watchman 20, watch 8, behold 2, look 2, espy 1, look up 1, waited 1, look well 1, variant for Zophim 1; 37 1) to look out or about, spy, keep watch, observe, watch 1a) (Qal) to keep watch, spy 1b) (Piel) to watch, watch closely

αγρυπνεω agrupneo {ag-roop-neh’-o} ultimately from 1 (as negative particle) and 5258; TDNT – 2:338,195; v AV – watch 4; 4 1) to be sleepless, keep awake, watch 2) to be circumspect, attentive, ready

Matthew 25:13-

“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”

Luke 21:36-

“Watch ye therefore, and pray always that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”

I Thessalonians 5:6-

“Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.”

Revelation 3:3-

“Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.”

After realizing how profound was this simple, five letter word “Divat” I thought to myself “our Lord is amazing”.  And indeed He is!  You could say that now I am watching even more intently than ever, but I must have slipped up somewhat in my Watchman responsibilities so the Lord “stepped in” to remedy the situation with this clear reminder.  Praise Him!

This experience reminded me very much of the trumpet blast alarm I had heard mere months ago, so as is my habit I did a date duration calculation, courtesy of-

http://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html

From and including: Sunday, August 14, 2011  Piercing Trumpet Blast Alarm

To, but not including: Thursday, November 10, 2011  Word Divat “To Watch”

It is 88 days from the start date to the end date

Here is the link to the article about the trumpet blast-

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/2011/08/14/sounding-the-trumpet-an-horrific-event-is-fast-approaching/

And a quote from the article-

I awakened this morning to the sound of a piercing, yet pulsating alarm in my room.  It was clearly an emergency alarm, even approximating the sound of a trumpet.

Biblically, we can think of 88 as having enhanced characteristics of the number 8, but we can also consider its factors of 8 and 11.

88 = 8 x 11

First, let’s discuss the number 8 itself; this from Bullinger-

http://philologos.org/__eb-nis/eight.htm#200

It is 7 plus 1. Hence it is the number specially associated with Resurrection and Regeneration, and the beginning of a new era or order.

Eight is the superabundant number. As seven was so called because the seventh day was the day of completion and rest, so eight, as the eighth day, was over and above this perfect completion, and was indeed the first of a new series.

Author Ira Milligan (“Understanding the Dreams You Dream- Volume II”) sees the number eight as to “put off” our “old man” (sinful flesh), and to walk in the Spirit!

Finally, Dr. R.J. Cummings in his book “Cracking the Bible’s Numeric Code”, says this-

The number eight represents the completion of man’s evolution from sinful creatures driven from the Garden of Eden to spiritually complete beings worthy of living in the presence of God.

I summarize the number eight as:

Completed Evolution, Faith, Fulfillment of Intent, Chosen People, Resurrection, & Jesus as the Ultimate Man.

You may be wondering about the number 888; well, its main meaning is “Jesus, the Salvation of Our God”-

http://www.biblewheel.com/gr/gr_888.asp

This should now make perfect sense, knowing what you do about the numbers 8 and 88!  But, now, I return to the number 88 specifically.  I’ve talked of the number 8, and have mentioned that 88 would have the attributes of 8 in an enhanced manner.  However, the “hidden” meaning of the number 88 will also comprise the attributes of its factors, 8 and 11.  So, following is the meaning of the number 11, which is summarized essentially as “chaos, disorder, and judgment”.  Eleven is a number I have written about many times on this blog.  First, I must say that the Bible Wheel’s definition of eleven has to do with something “hidden”; I believe that is why so many of my prophetic dreams lead to this number.  The person who has done the authoritative work on the number eleven in scripture is Dr. E.W. Bullinger; link here-

http://philologos.org/__eb-nis/eleven.htm

In summary, then, knowing everything which I know about the numbers 8, 888, and 11, I would summarize the meaning of the number 88 as such-

“the beginning of a new era marked by judgment, chaos, and disorder which will hasten the Return of the Lord”

So, this is precisely why the Lord has been awakening me early with such a sense of urgency!  My friends, I have thousands of pages of research and notes yet unpublished, and over 20 articles still in the queue!  I cannot slack off here!  Nor can I possibly overestimate the seriousness of this situation, the shortness of the time we have left on this fallen earth!

Ultimately, sisters and brothers, this conclusion tells me that we are rapidly approaching or are already inside the Seventieth Week of Daniel, the final seven years!

Now this is critical, brethren.  I realize that many “dates” have come and gone with “nothing” happening, but please let my experience of both the “trumpet” and command to “watch” speak to you all that no matter, we are to keep “watching” and preparing for the return of our Lord and Savior.  It is abundantly clear that time is very, very short now.  Keep the oil in your lamps, and “watch”.  God bless you all.

With Love in Christ,

Habakkuk 2:1-

“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.”

This is my promise . . .

—————————————————————

*There is a similar Hungarian word meaning “fashion”, obvious not a match . . .

Here is the word which the Lord gave to her on 27 October, 2011 (in part, bold emphasis C.M.N.)-

. . . Israel will stop Iran in its tracks.  This is going to directly affect America.  The church is going to be confused about this.  They don’t see Israel as the aggressor, being My chosen people they know that I have said I will fight for Israel.  That does not change.  But that does not rule out their own decisions, made apart from Me.  Israel will feel it absolutely vital to stop Iran because of an announcement they make.  This will be announced soon and all the world will know of it.  So the prophet (Dr. David Owuor) has heard Me and what he says is as it shall be.

You see, just prior to giving this word to Prophetess Alison, the Lord had brought to her attention Dr. David Owuor’s prophetic word from 13 April, 2011 entitled “Nuclear War Coming to Iran”, which can be viewed here-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNQhaI6kFFM

Now the prophetic word which the Lord gave to me about Iran was received on 11 February, 2010.  For a bit of important historical background, I should mention that Dr. Owuor and myself have also prophesied the same future massive tsunami event certain to occur in the Philippines (see link in Appendix), and in that case there is a distinct “time code” built into the date duration between the individual prophetic words which we each received.  Therefore I felt it prudent to check the date duration between the words received by the two of us concerning Iran as well, and here is the outcome-

http://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?m1=2&d1=11&y1=2010&m2=04&d2=13&y2=2011

From and including: Thursday, February 11, 2010  C.M.N. prophetic word on Iran

To, but not including: Wednesday, April 13, 2011  Dr. Owuor prophetic word on Iran

It is 426 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date

426 = 71 x 6

(426 = “The Chosen Elders” x “Man”)

Here is the Bible Wheel write-up on the Number 71, the number including Moses (1) plus the chosen elders (70) whom were to lead the people-

http://www.biblewheel.com/gr/gr_71.asp

“The Number 71 is strongly associated with the Holy Spirit (710). Its primary meaning is Fullness and Dove. It appears in Scripture in Numbers 11.16”:

And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee. And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.

The Lord God Almighty placed His Spirit upon 71 people.

After praying over this fascinating connection, it is my understanding that indeed there will be seventy (times two) current “elders of the people” upon whom a great end-times commission has been placed.  Seventy of these men and women will work with Moses, one of the Two Witnesses, whereas Elijah, the other Witness, will likewise have seventy commissioned elders under his tutelage.  Moses’ primary responsibility in the end-times is the Church, whereas Elijah and his group of seventy will work with the Jews.  Without getting too off topic here, this relates directly to the 144,000 of Revelation 14 as well!  How?

70 elders + 1^st Witness (Moses) + the Lord (as Son) = 72

70 elders + 2^nd Witness (Elijah) + the Lord (as Father) = 72

Total = 144

144 is 12 x 12 or 12 squared, 12 being “God’s Perfect Government”-

http://philologos.org/__eb-nis/twelve.htm

And 144,000 is a “thousand fold”, a hugely significant increase above and beyond an already pure, Holy, and most incredible number, 144!

The Lord is with us.  Of course, He resides within all 140 of the elders in the form of the Holy Spirit; in the case of the 70 elders of Moses, His identity as the Son is also present, whereas in the case of the 70 elders of Elijah, His identity will also be as the Father initially.  All this said, each and every Christian has a special commission and holds the power through the authority given to him or her by the Holy Spirit!  I am simply speaking here of the Two Witnesses and their select groups of elders.  Could Dr. Owuor and myself be included amongst the 140?  The date duration evidence certainly suggests this possibility.  Further, Dr. Owuor is the greatest of the end-times prophets, whose area of prophetic responsibility appears to encompass the entire globe; whereby I fully embrace my more limited prophetic responsibilities (America, the Philippines, and Australasia) as specified by the Lord.

The number seventy-one is all about the Holy Spirit, after all!  You see, each and every number in the Bible is there for a profound reason; certainly, not a single number is an accident or just “random”!

We observe this same trend in regards to the “seventy” also found in the New Testament.  In Luke Chapter 10, Jesus commissions precisely seventy followers to go “into every city and place”, Luke 10:1-

“After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.”

Remember, in the days of the early Church it was Peter and Paul who acted as the leaders, therefore as “types” of the Two Witnesses, Paul to the Gentiles and Peter to the Jews (Galatians 2:8)!  Seventy plus one equals seventy-one!  We here see precisely the same principal applied that we saw in the Old Testament, and that we are observing now in the end-times!  Praise God!

Speaking of “end-times”, let us now get back to the Iran prophecies.  I hope that you have watched the short Dr. Owuor video already, but if you haven’t, let me just summarize by saying that, in general he is describing an attack by Israeli aircraft on an Iranian nuclear facility or facilities.  The payload will be nuclear.  This is actually what is required to “do the job”, i.e. to render the facilities inoperable.  I know this to be true as I have researched this subject, on and off, for several years.  Here is a quote from Dr. Owuor from his video-

The Lord took me to Israel and showed me the top leadership in meetings.  And then I saw the Israeli aircraft leave.  And they struck Iran (the nuclear facilities) and then they came back home safe.  And then the Voice of the Lord said ‘pray for Israel’

Now, combine that with Prophetess Alison’s word and its seeming urgency, and this event appears rather imminent indeed.  Okay, so what was this powerful prophetic word which I personally received from God about this topic?

On the morning of 11 February, 2010, between 3:00 and 4:00, I heard an angelic voice clearly declare-

Praise!  Kindle Winstar!

It rang of the clarity of Heaven, and sounded as a shofar!  Of course, I was jolted to complete alertness and immediately jotted down this amazing auditory prophetic dream-vision word.

First the word “Praise” seems quite straight-forward, but let’s examine the Biblical meanings, in both Hebrew and Greek, the Greek word first (courtesy of the Bible Wheel; Strong’s G-0134)-

αινεω aineo {ahee-neh’-o} from 136; TDNT – 1:177,27; v AV – praise 9; 9 1) to praise, extol, to sing praises in honour to God 2) to allow, recommend 3) to promise or vow

And, next, the Hebrew words for “Praise”, likewise courtesy of the Bible Wheel, and starting with Strong’s H-3034-

ידה yadah {yaw-daw’} a primitive root; used only as denominative from 03027; TWOT – 847; v AV – praise 53, give thanks 32, confess 16, thank 5, make confession 2, thanksgiving 2, cast 1, cast out 1, shoot 1, thankful 1; 114 1) to throw, shoot, cast 1a) (Qal) to shoot (arrows) 1b) (Piel) to cast, cast down, throw down 1c) (Hiphil) 1c1) to give thanks,, laud, praise 1c2) to confess, confess (the name of God) 1d) (Hithpael) 1d1) to confess (sin) 1d2) to give thanks

And also Strong’s H-1984-

הלל halal {haw-lal’} a primitive root; TWOT – 499,500; v AV – praise 117, glory 14, boast 10, mad 8, shine 3, foolish 3, fools 2, commended 2, rage 2, celebrate 1, give 1, marriage 1, renowned 1; 165 1) to shine 1a) (Qal) to shine (fig. of God’s favour) 1b) (Hiphil) to flash forth light 2) to praise, boast, be boastful 2a) (Qal) 2a1) to be boastful 2a2) boastful ones, boasters (participle) 2b) (Piel) 2b1) to praise 2b2) to boast, make a boast 2c) (Pual) 2c1) to be praised, be made praiseworthy, be commended, be worthy of praise 2d) (Hithpael) to boast, glory, make one’s boast 2e) (Poel) to make a fool of, make into a fool 2f) (Hithpoel) to act madly, act like a madman

And, finally Strong’s H-8416-

תהלה tehillah {teh-hil-law’} from 01984; TWOT – 500c; n f AV – praise 57; 57 1) praise, song or hymn of praise 1a) praise, adoration, thanksgiving (paid to God) 1b) act of general or public praise 1c) praise-song (as title) 1d) praise (demanded by qualities or deeds or attributes of God) 1e) renown, fame, glory 1e1) of Damascus, God 1e2) object of praise, possessor of renown (fig)

To summarize, it appears that the word “Praise” as given to me by the angel clearly suggests something very positive and affirmative, and as such may well indicate a “promise” or “vow” of something which will most certainly occur.  It is about giving glory to God.  The minor meaning “to shoot arrows” is also intriguing in that this might clearly indicate missiles.

Next, it is obvious that “Kindle” means “to start a fire” (more on this word later), but what of “Winstar”?  “Winstar” is clearly an anagram of “Iran”, see here-

http://anagram.mastervb.net

There are only 11 anagrams, and the actual words which we can derive from this are “Iran”, “Rain(s)”, “Strain”, “Trains”, and “Santir”, in addition to the interesting “Nair”.

1. a i nrstw
2. a in rstw
3. ia nrstw
4. ian rstw
5. iran stw
6. nair stw
7. rain stw
8. rains tw
9. santir w
10. strain w
11. trains w

Now, a Santir is a Persian musical instrument, lest there be any doubt that this prophecy is pointing to Iran!  Here is a picture of traditional santirs-

And here is a map of Iran showing major nuclear sites of various types-

Now, incredibly, my dream occurred on the morning (midday Iran time) of “Islamic Revolution’s Victory Day”, in which Iran celebrated the 31^st anniversary of her Islamic “victory” over the secular regime of the Shah!  On that very day President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad proudly stated “Iran is now a nuclear state.”  Below is a picture of the event; note the huge and festive crowd-

This is quite amazing, certainly.  But to really nail down the timing of this prophetic word, following is a summary of what Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had to say on that very day, February 11, 2010, according to the AP, taken from-

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/02/11/ahmadinejad-says-iran-nuclear-state/

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed Thursday that Iran has produced its first batch of uranium enriched to a higher level, saying his country will not be bullied by the West into curtailing its nuclear program a day after the U.S. imposed new sanctions.

This powerful statement obviously represented the “harsh blow to the global arrogance” that president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had promised to deliver on February 11!

Therefore, to summarize:  On the precise day of my auditory dream-vision Iran announced to the world that they are now a “Nuclear State” and had produced their first package of highly enriched uranium.

Immediately after this most arrogant statement by the leaders of this powerful Shiite Islamic nation, the angel of the Lord entrusted to me His response back to Iran, which was, again:

“Praise!  Kindle Winstar!”

Keeping that powerful context in mind, next let us examine the other words.  These are “rain”, “rains”, “strain”, and “trains” which are quite self-explanatory, and I suspect that “rain/rains” may refer to the raining down of inbound missiles and bunker busters in this near-future prophesied attack.  In regard to the word “trains”; interestingly, Iran has an extensive railway system consisting of nearly 7000 km of track which is, of course, a key means for the transporting of raw uranium ore from mining sites, as well as for the transport of other nuclear material, parts, and equipment.  “Strain” is what leads to this event in the first place; Israeli/Iranian relationships are strained to the breaking point, and this event will be the result.  Another word we see in the anagram list is “Nair”.  Now, in order to decode the potential meaning of this odd word, I checked acronyms, and there is but a single legitimate one, listed here-

http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com

NAIR = National Arrangements for Incidents involving Radioactivity

An excellent definition of NAIR is listed at this site-

http://www.hpa.org.uk/Topics/Radiation/UnderstandingRadiation/UnderstandingRadiationTopics/RadiationIncidents/incid_Nair/

That might certainly have everything to do with a nuclear attack!

Now, to this point we have addressed the word “Winstar” in some detail.  Obviously, the word “Kindle” is much more straightforward; however, let’s look at this word more closely as it appears in the text of the Holy Bible.  Of the 19 Bible verses which include the word “kindle” I have chosen these 7 to be the most applicable to the current situation involving Iran, courtesy-

http://www.biblewheel.com/gr/GR_Database.asp?SearchBy_Word=kindle

Isa 9:18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.

Isa 50:11 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.

Jer 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

Jer 21:14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.

Jer 50:32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.

Eze 20:47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.

Eze 24:10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.

Note that all nineteen uses of the word for “kindle” in the Bible are found in the Hebrew of the Old Testament; here is the definition of H-3341-

יצת yatsath {yaw-tsath’} a primitive root; TWOT – 899; v AV – kindle 12, burned 7, set 7, burn up 2, desolate 1; 29 1) to kindle, burn, set on fire 1a) (Qal) to kindle 1b) (Niphal) 1b1) to be kindled 1b2) to be left desolate 1c) (Hiphil) to set on fire, kindle

It is clear to me that . . .

Praise!  Kindle Winstar!

. . . is legitimately and clearly rendered as. . .

God’s promise!  Burn Iran!

But does this make Iran a “non-factor”, i.e. does this “kindling” completely destroy the nation?  No!  Absolutely not! Iran will survive to fight one more day; that is clear from scripture.  In fact, the nation of Iran will seek vengeance and eventually will be involved in the attack on America the Babylon.  Whether only indirectly (through Hezbollah terror cells which have, within their arsenal and control, suitcase nukes) or, more directly, through nuclear-tipped Iranian missiles, I am not certain.  But, again, the “Persians” will live to fight another day and America, whom they call the “Great Satan”, will be struck harshly and with great vengeance.  This is profoundly illustrated also within a follow-up answer to a prayer which I received several weeks after the dream-vision of Iran and the words “Praise!  Kindle Winstar!”  You see, I was the recipient of a very sobering word from the Holy Spirit that Iran will also, eventually, do some “kindling” of her own.  This fits Bible prophecy to a tee, as we know that America’s enemies will attack and destroy America with the full consent of the Lord before they are themselves likewise destroyed.

In summary, it is obvious to me that we can expect a major war in the near-future involving the country of Iran.

BREAKING NEWS!  Just today this article has appeared, entitled “Israel test-fires missile as Iran debate rages“-

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/02/us-israel-missile-idUSTRE7A11BR20111102

Here’s an excerpt-

Dan Meridor, minister for nuclear and intelligence affairs and a member of Netanyahu’s eight-man inner cabinet, lambasted as “unconscionable” a flurry of newspaper and television discussions, triggered by a front-page report in the biggest-selling Yedioth Ahronoth daily, about the possibility that Netanyahu and Barak were secretly planning, against the counsel of their security chiefs, to attack Iran.

Note- the Israeli missile in question within this article is the “Jericho“; all students of the Bible know of the fate of Jericho before the army of God led by Joshua.

Another interesting link-

http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=355929

Title- “U.S. Intelligence on Alert for Israeli Strike on Iran“

Clearly “Winstar” is equivalent to “Iran”; therefore, “Kindle Winstar” equals “Burn Iran”.  Iran will undoubtedly be kindled, obviously by Israel as Dr. Owuor saw in his vision, although Israel could possibly have some assistance from other nations.  Iran will certainly attempt to strike back with agents already in place in America and Britain, her major enemies besides Israel, or even in other nations (Hezbollah cells exist in at least 60 countries). Iran may likewise attempt to, eventually, pull off EMP attacks against her enemies.  It appears from the prophetic words of Dr. Owuor and Prophetess Alison that Israel will indeed strike Iran preemptively.  This said, besides the “rhetoric”, Iran may do something to “trigger” this attack from Israel.  After all, anything that Hezbollah attempts and perhaps even anything which Syria does can be pointed directly back to Tehran and the Shiite leadership which resides there.

Let’s talk politics and Islamic end-times eschatology briefly- the radical Shiite Theocracy based in Tehran is enamored with the belief that the conditions of World War III will trigger the event which brings back their Mahdi (rightly-guided caliph), and leads to the era of “peace and harmony” with their peculiar and fundamental version of Islam running the world.  This is obviously a dangerous mindset for the leaders of a nuclear-armed country to possess.  I believe that God is revealing to me, via this dream-vision, that He is very displeased with Iran about the current situation, their arrogance, and their intentions.  I am compelled to share this revelation at this precise time!  I believe this is a warning for Iran primarily, but indirectly for the entire world, especially Israel, America, Britain, and Iran’s neighbors.  Furthermore, I believe that my warning has been substantiated by the prophetic words of Dr. Owuor and Prophetess Alison.  This event appears to be likely to occur “very soon”.  Pray fervently, sisters and brothers, and repent, for He returns soon!

To quote Dr. Owuor-

“Precious people, time is over” . . .

Appendix-

My prophecy about an upcoming mega-earthquake and devastating tsunami in the Philippines preceded Dr. Owuor’s by precisely 22 weeks; here is the link-

http://nabiy4america.wordpress.com/2010/10/13/coming-tsunami-in-southern-philippines-prophetic-dream/

The primary meaning of the number “twenty-two” is “revelation”.

———————————————————————————

The fact remains that there is no mention of “who” will attack Iran within the prophetic word I received.  There might potentially be countries other than Israel involved; however, I certainly trust the words given to Dr. Owuor and Prophetess Alison that Israel will lead the attack.

I am well aware that Reverend Allen was a controversial figure, and remains so decades after his death. However, it is my prayerful understanding that the profound vision he experienced on the morning of July 4, 1954 was a most incredible and unique gift of prophetic insight which was revealed to him by God Almighty Himself! Praise the Lord, for the events depicted within this vision will surely come to pass, and every American Christian should be acutely aware of what Reverend Allen witnessed while in the spirit on that Independence Day morning. Each American should likewise be cognizant of the fact that their beloved country is Babylon the Great, and that is where I come into the picture; that is, to put this amazing vision into its proper Biblical context. This is not only about the devastating end of a great nation and superpower, the United States of America, it is about the Biblically-described destruction of end-times Babylon, a nation also called Babylon the Great and the daughter of Babylon.

To my knowledge, although Reverend Allen was deeply aware of America’s many sins and the fact that she was beginning to turn her back on God, he did not realize that America represents Babylon the Great of scripture. However, I do most certainly realize this sobering truth and, in fact, it is my God-given duty to warn the American populace of this reality and of its profound implications! Therefore, in this article I will interpret Reverend Allen’s powerful vision through the lens of what the Bible says about American Babylon’s day of utter devastation, which will most likely occur at either the start of the final 7 years or at the start of the final 3.5 years (often called the “Great Tribulation” or the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble”).

You may later wish to read Reverend Allen’s vision in its entirety, without interruption, as well as a summary of the life of the great evangelist. I highly recommend the article by Unleavened Bread Ministries with link below-

http://www.unleavenedbreadministries.org/?page=first

There is a very important reason that this article is being published today. Today, October 28, 2011, is the 125th Anniversary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty! As you will see, this pagan goddess features powerfully within Reverend Allen’s vision.  Here is the link to a video of the Statue from today-

Now, back to my article, Reverend Allen’s words will be in black and italicized (all “bolding” done by C.M.N.), whereas my analysis including relevant Bible verses will be shown in deep blue. I would assume that, were he alive today, the great evangelist would be pleased at what I am here attempting to accomplish. I also believe that had he lived to see the progressive downfall of America, spiritually, morally, and politically, to the near cesspool conditions in which she flounders today, then he would have ascertained that she is most certainly Babylon the Great.

The panoramic vision of A.A. Allen follows-
——————————————————————-
My Vision of The Destruction of America
By A. A. Allen

As I stepped inside the elevator at the Empire State Building, I never dreamed of the great experience, which awaited me just 86 stories up…. There on the east side of the terrace, I noticed a giant telescope, of the kind into which you can drop a dime, and see for approximately fifteen miles.…

As I stood with my dime between my fingers, waiting my turn, suddenly the spirit of the Lord came mightily upon me. I noticed the two giant eyes of the telescope as the man who was manipulating it turned it my direction. I was amazed that the spirit of the Lord should so move upon me, there atop the Empire State Building. Why should I feel such a surge of His spirit and power there?…

The observation deck on the 86^th Floor was at that time, and still is, a famous tourist attraction.  I am not surprised that the Lord chose this particular vantage point from which to give Reverend Allen his vision; after all, the Number 86 means “God”, specifically His great name “Elohim”!-

http://www.biblewheel.com/gr/gr_86.asp

Then suddenly I heard the voice of the Lord. It was as clear and as distinct as a voice could be. It seemed to come from the very midst of the giant telescope. But when I looked at the telescope, I knew it hadn’t come from there, but directly from heaven. The voice said, “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly. Therefore, from thenceforth, thou shalt have wars.” …

America has been involved in wars almost constantly since that day in 1954, the more obvious of which are the unsteady truce after the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Lebanon, Persian Gulf, Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq, in addition to several dozen other military ventures.       

As I stepped to the telescope and dropped in my dime, immediately, the ticking started again. This ticking was an automatic clock, which would allow me to use the telescope for a definitely limited time only. … That morning, much of the view was impaired by fog. But suddenly as the spirit of the Lord came upon me the fog seemed to clear, until it seemed that I could see for thousands of miles. But that which I was looking upon was not Manhattan Island. It was the entire North American continent spread out before me as a map is spread upon a table.

Notice that at the beginning of the vision, the Lord is establishing the subject matter; that is, that this vision is restricted to future events in the United States of America.  The clearing of the actual (physical) fog is symbolic of the clearing of Reverend Allen’s own spiritual eyes so that he could see into the spirit realm on that early summer morning.

It was not the East River and the Hudson River that I saw on either side, but the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. And instead of the Statue of Liberty standing there in the bay on her small island, I saw her standing far out in the Gulf of Mexico. She was between the United States and me. I suddenly realized that the telescope had nothing to do with what I was seeing, but that it was a vision coming directly from God. And to prove this to myself, I took my eyes away from the telescope, so that I was no longer looking through the lens, but the same scene remained spread before me. There, clear and distinct, lay all the North American continent, with all its great cities. … 

I believe that here the Lord is revealing to all of us, yet through Reverend Allen, that we know the time for America’s destruction is near when some major event in the Gulf of Mexico occurs.  Second, the focus on cities reveals that the coming devastation will focus on the cities of America Babylon.

And as I looked, suddenly from the sky I saw a giant hand reach down. That gigantic hand was reaching out toward the Statue of Liberty. In a moment her gleaming torch was torn from her hand, and in it instead was placed a cup. And I saw protruding from that great cup, a giant sword, shining as if a great light had been turned upon its glistening edge. Never before had I seen such a sharp, glistening, dangerous sword. It seemed to threaten the entire world. As the great cup was placed in the hand of the Statue of Liberty, I heard these words, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, Drink ye and be drunken, spue and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send.”

The sword is the Word of God, but it also symbolizes war and death, even death by war.  America is “the hammer of the whole earth” (Jeremiah 50:23; “How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken!  How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!”).  Yet, America also kicked God out of her schools in 1962-1963; eventually she must pay the price.  America is condemned by the Word of God, and her judgment is being pronounced!  The Statue of Liberty, designed by Auguste Bartholdi, was originally intended to hold a cup, not a torch.  This statue is, after all, a depiction of the mother goddess Ishtar, an ancient Babylonian deity also known in various cultures and throughout history as Isis, Libertad, Venus, Astarte, Athena, and Diana amongst other names.

As I heard these words, I recognized them as a quotation from Jeremiah 20:7. I was amazed to hear the Statue of Liberty speak out in reply, “I WILL NOT DRINK!” Then as the voice of the thunder, I heard again the voice of the Lord, saying, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, YE SHALL CERTAINLY DRINK.” (Jeremiah 25:28.) Then suddenly the giant hand forced the cup to the lips of the Statue of Liberty, and she became powerless to defend herself. The mighty hand of God forced her to drink every drop from the cup. As she drank the bitter dregs, these were the words that I heard, “Should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, says the Lord of Hosts.” (Jeremiah 25:29).

Jeremiah 25 is an indictment against Judah of Jeremiah’s day.  Furthermore, Jeremiah 25:12 in particular is actually a dual prophecy involving both ancient Babylon and modern Babylon, America!  Many of the verses throughout Jeremiah 25 sound shockingly similar to what we read about America in Jeremiah 50 and 51, certain chapters in Isaiah, and Revelation 17 and 18.  For example, compare these verses; first Jeremiah 25:10-

“Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.”

And Revelation 17:22-23 (in part)-

“And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee.”

Dr. David R. Reagan profoundly demonstrates the America/Judah prophetic “types” connection in his book “America the Beautiful?- The United States in Bible Prophecy”.  Now, clearly the Statue of Liberty represents America in general, so as we are reading in this vision events associated with this statue, then clearly those same events reflect what is happening in the nation as a whole.  In Reverend Allen’s vision, the Lord says that America will not go unpunished, for He will (soon) punish the entire world.  It certainly appears here that America is close to being the “first” to be judged; this alone is ample evidence for America being Babylon, even if Reverend Allen was apparently unaware of this truth.  

When the cup was withdrawn from the lips of Statue of Liberty, I noticed the sword was missing from the cup, which could mean but one thing. THE CONTENTS OF THE CUP HAD BEEN COMPLETELY CONSUMED! I knew that the sword merely typified war, death, and destruction, which is no doubt on the way. Then as one drunken on too much wine, I saw the Statue of Liberty become unsteady on her feet and begin to stagger, and to lose her balance. I saw her splashing in the Gulf, trying to regain her balance. I saw her stagger again and again, and fall to her knees. As I saw her desperate attempts to regain her balance, and rise to her feet again, my heart was moved as never before with compassion for her struggles.

This may very well be referencing an actual time marker of April 20, 2010, the night of the Deepwater Horizon explosion which killed eleven people (11 being the number of chaos, disorder, judgment, and “the end”) and forever altered the ecology of the entire Gulf coastal region, perhaps even influencing weather world-wide by impacting the Gulf Stream.  While in the spirit and witnessing this vision, obviously Reverend Allen felt heart-broken as he watched his beloved country America, as represented by the Statue of Liberty, struggling to survive.

But as she staggered there in the gulf, once again I heard these words, “Ye shall drink and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more because of the sword that I shall send among you.” As I watched, I wondered if the Statue of Liberty would ever be able to regain her feet – if she would ever stand again. And as I watched, it seemed that with all her power she struggled to rise, and finally staggered to her feet again, and stood there swaying drunkenly. I felt sure that at any moment she would fall again – possibly never to rise. I seemed overwhelmed with a desire to reach out my hand to keep her head above water, for I knew that if she ever fell again she would drown there in the Gulf.

Then as I watched, another amazing thing was taking place. Far to the northwest, just over Alaska, a huge, black cloud was arising. As it rose, it was as black as night. It seemed to be in the shape of a man’s head. As it continued to arise, I observed two light spots in the black cloud. It rose further, and a gaping hole appeared. I could see that the black cloud was taking the shape of a skull, for now the huge, white, gaping mouth was plainly visible. Finally the head was complete. Then the shoulders began to appear, and on either side, long, black arms. It seemed that what I saw was the entire North American continent, spread out like a map upon table with this terrible skeleton-formed cloud arising from behind the table. It rose steadily until the form was visible down to the waist.

Again, what we see here is that the entire nation, the United States of America, appears to be under judgment!  The skull clearly represents death on a massive scale!  Although the form began in the Northwest, its effect was essentially from the North, as it must have been basically North of the central mainland USA in order to reach out a hand to both coasts (see below re. the Great Lakes).  This is extremely important, for we know that America’s judgment comes from the North, the traditional direction of a judgment which has been endorsed by God Himself.  We read this in Jeremiah 50:3-

“For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.”

And Jeremiah 51:48-

“Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD.”

At the waist, the skeleton seemed to bend toward the United States, stretching forth a hand toward the east and one toward the west – one toward New York and one toward Seattle. As the awful form stretched forward, I could see that its entire attention seemed to focused upon the United States, overlooking Canada – at least for the time being. As I saw the horrible black cloud in the form of a skeleton bending toward America, bending from the waist over, reaching down toward Chicago and out toward both coasts, I knew its one interest was to destroy the multitudes.

This perfectly fits the indictment for America which we read in Jeremiah 51:42-43 (in part)-

“ . . . Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.”

As I watched in horror, the great black cloud stopped just above the Great Lake region, and turned its face toward New York City. Then out of the horrible, great, gaping mouth began to appear wisps of white vapor, which looked like smoke, as a cigarette smoker would low puffs of smoke from his mouth. These whitish vapors were being blown toward New York City. The smoke began to spread, until it had covered all the eastern part of the United States.

Here we see New York City, the spiritual heart of America, being symbolically “singled out” for judgment, although this judgment event also includes the entire eastern seaboard.  I have likewise called the New York City area “Babylon, Babylon” as you can read in my article by that name (see Appendix).

Then the skeleton turned to the west, and out of the horrible mouth and nostrils came another great puff of white smoke. This time it was blown in the direction of the west coast. In a few moments time, the entire west coast and Los Angeles area was covered with its vapors.

The entire West Coast of the United States is under judgment.

Then toward the center came a third great puff. As I watched, St. Louis and Kansas City were enveloped in its white vapors. Then on it came toward New Orleans. Then on they swept until they reached the Statue of Liberty where she stood staggering drunkenly in the blue waters of the Gulf. As the white vapors began to spread around the head of the Statue, she took in but one gasping breath, and then began to cough as though to rid her lungs of the horrible vapors she had inhaled.

The entire central portion of the United States, our beautiful “heartland”, is under judgment.

One could readily discern by the painful coughing that those white vapors had seared her lungs. What were these white vapors? Could they signify bacteriological warfare that could destroy multitudes of people in a few moments time? Or could they be the new G-gas, the horrible nerve gas recently made known to the American public? …

Again, we see the struggles and near-death of the Statue of Liberty as representing what is going on in America as a whole.  Now, I do not believe that this is bacteriological, although I would not doubt that some non-contagious biological agent such as Anthrax might be used in combination with chemical agents or nerve gas.  To this scientist, what is being described here is nerve gas, probably “V-gas”, a modern equivalent of the G-gas available in the 1950s.  The “benefits” to the enemy of using such a gas on the population of the United States would be that it could reach more suburban and rural areas which might not be hit directly by the nuclear-tipped missiles or even a concentrated radioactive cloud.  For example, the entire population between the aforementioned cities of St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri might well succumb to these vapors.

Indeed, Val Peterson, Federal Civil Defense Administrator, estimates that … “Nerve gas used by an enemy with maximum efficiency could be deadlier than an atomic bomb.” Right now you and your family, all of us, are unprotected against the threat of this terror weapon. … The Army calls it GB; it’s an odorless, colorless, tasteless nerve gas designed to destroy people with paralyzing suddenness. We have it; so do the Russians.… G-gas, as nerve gas is sometimes called, is cheap to produce, a small amount can do the job, and it leaves a nation’s industrial plants, utilities and buildings intact for an occupying power.…

What more today, over 57 years later?  I would imagine that the enemy and, yes, I am talking about Russia (likely in combination with Iran, various other Middle East/Caspian Sea region countries or the terror cells thereof, or perhaps even China/N. Korea), has even deadlier agents prepared for this eventual attack on America. 

As I looked with wonder upon the vision God had give me I wondered could it be this horrible G Gas, which was causing the Statue of Liberty to react so violently, as it floated about her head, looking like an innocent cloud?

Then I heard the voice of God, as He spoke: “Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.”

“And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. “The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word. The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. “Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned and few men left.” (Isaiah 24:6)

This truly sounds like the beginning of “The Day of the Lord”.  However, there is obviously a lot of debate about when this day begins relative to the Tribulation timeline in general.  Again, it seems that America is the first to fall, or among the first (the population of Syria should be especially concerned right now; this information about Damascus specifically is taken from Isaiah 17 “the burden of Damascus”- the end of Chapter 17 and all of 18 appear to point to America). 

As I watched, the coughing grew worse. It sounded like a person about to cough out his lungs. The Statue of Liberty was moaning and groaning. She was in mortal agony. The pain must have been terrific, as again and again, she tried to clear her lungs of those horrible white vapors. I watched her there in the Gulf, as she staggered, clutching her lungs and her breast with her hands. Then she fell to her knees. In a moment, she gave one final cough, made a last desperate effort to rise from her knees, and then fell face forward into the waters of the gulf, and lay still – still as death. Tears ran down my face as I realized that she was dead! Only the lapping of the waves, splashing over her body, which was partly under the water, and partly out of the water, broke the stillness.…

Again, we are brought back to April 20, 2010 and should be led to wonder if that event could be a time marker?  I think that it is, but the details of my research will not be published for some time.  That said, I sincerely believe that this “day” of America’s destruction is still a couple of years away, hopefully even a few more than that.

Suddenly the screaming of sirens shattered the silence. Sirens that seemed to scream “RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!” Never before had I heard such shrill, screaming sirens. They seemed to be everywhere – to the north, the south, the east and the west. There seemed to be multitudes of sirens. And as I looked, I saw people everywhere running. But it seemed none of them ran more than a few paces, and then they fell. And even as I had seen the Statue of Liberty struggling to regain her poise and balance, and finally falling for the last time, to die on her face, I now saw millions of people falling in the streets, on the sidewalks, struggling. I heard their screams for mercy and help. I heard their horrible coughing, as though their lungs had been seared with fire.

I heard the moanings and groanings of the doomed and the dying. As I watched, a few finally readied shelters. But only a few ever got to the shelters, and above the moaning and the groaning of the dying multitudes, I heard these words: ”A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversary with the nations, He will plead with all flesh; He will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord. Behold evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. And the slain Of The Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not he lamented, neither gathered nor burled; they shall be dung upon the ground.” (Jeremiah 25:31-33.)

Again, we hear words which point to the start of the Day of the Lord.  The four primary directions, once again, provide evidence that this judgment is upon the entire nation of America, not just upon certain states or cities.  Furthermore, this matches Revelation to a tee, in which we read that America’s demise will be in “one hour” of “one day”; Revelation 18:10-

“Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.”

Millions of casualties is certainly legitimate; we know from scripture that perhaps only 10% of Americans will survive this assault, millions succumbing instantly and millions more dying from radiation exposure, starvation, dehydration, and untreated wounds over the following weeks and few months.  This information about casualties is deduced from the 10% preserved remnant which we see as a prophetic “type” in Isaiah 6:13-

 “But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed share be the substance thereof.”

And, furthermore we see the one-tenth echoed in Amos 5:3-

“For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.”

I am not certain that these verses are pointing directly to the events to occur in America, but I believe they act as prophetic guidelines as to what we can expect when God’s ultimate judgment befalls this nation.  The Lord is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

We also know from scripture that the judgment of America will be as in the judgment of the Cities of the Plain.  In that case, four of the five cities were entirely destroyed (Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim).  That is, of course, 80%, but these were the more populated cities, so in addition to Lot and his family, the residents of the small city of Zoar were also spared, as it was to function as the sanctuary city for Lot’s family (Genesis 13).  I would not be surprised if the survival rate of the people of the Plains was precisely 10%, all told.  Likewise, certain smaller cities in America will be initially spared from direct hits by nuclear-tipped missiles.  However, we know that America’s fall will be as the fall of Sodom; here is Isaiah 13:19-

“And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.”

And Jeremiah 50:40-

“As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.”

Finally, in the Revelation of Jesus Christ which was shown to John while in the spirit on the Isle of Patmos, we have Revelation 18:8-

“Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.”

Then suddenly I saw from the Atlantic and from the Pacific, and out of the Gulf, rocket-like objects that seemed to come up like fish leaping out of the water. High into the air they leaped, each headed in a different direction, but every one toward the United States. On the ground, the sirens screamed louder. And up from the ground I saw similar rockets beginning to ascend.

To me, these appeared to be interceptor rockets although they arose from different points all over the United States. However none of them seemed to be successful in intercepting the rockets that had risen from the ocean on every side. These rockets finally reached their maximum height, slowly turned over, and fell back toward the earth in defeat.

This matches precisely what we read in the Word of God, regarding end-times Babylon, Jeremiah 51:53-

“Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.”

Babylon America spends more on military defense and offense than any other country in the world, but it will all come to naught!  Indeed, America has defenses literally “to the heavens”; it’s called “space defense”.  Will it matter?  No, America’s only sure defense is the One True God, and the nation told Him to “get lost” within the last generation.  America will pay dearly for her spiritual arrogance and defiance, with the horrific deaths of hundreds of millions of her citizens (yes, hundreds not tens).

I had a confirming dream early in 2010, in which I saw missiles coming from every conceivable direction.  Then, much to my (temporary) relief, I saw interceptor missiles heading upwards in defense.  Yet, each and every interceptor missed its target!  The giant missiles of the attacking forces hit the ground in tremendous explosions, as I awakened greatly shaken. 

Now, since Reverend Allen saw these missiles “leaping out” of the waters, they were likely coming mainly from submarines, not easily-detectable ships (although freighters can be easily modified to conceal missile launchers under deck).  We get a glimpse of this manner of attack against America, again from the Prophet Jeremiah in Jeremiah 50:29-

“Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.”

The use of the term “round about” would seem to imply the seas, for America has huge bodies of water to her West, East, and South, as well as the Great Lakes to the North.  Therefore, submarine-based missiles are certainly what are being referred to here.

Then suddenly, the rockets, which had leaped out of the oceans like fish all, exploded at once. The explosion was earsplitting. The next thing, which I saw, was a huge ball of fire. The only thing I have ever seen which resembled the thing I saw in my vision was the picture of the explosion of the H-bomb, somewhere in the South Pacific some months ago. In my vision, it was so real I seemed to feel a searing heat from it.

As the vision spread before my eyes, and I viewed the widespread desolation brought about by the terrible explosions, I could not help thinking, “While the defenders of our nation have quibbled over what means of defense to use, and neglected the only true means of defense, faith and dependence upon the true and living God, the thing, which she greatly feared, has come unto her! How true it has proven that ‘Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman watcheth but in vain.’”

Amen to what Reverend Allen thought while viewing this amazing panoramic scene!  Here is the sobering verse from the Bible which proves both Reverend Allen’s vision and my dream to be prophetically accurate; Jeremiah 50:9-

“For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.”

The “arrows” are obviously missiles!  Not a single missile misses its intended target!  Sisters and brothers, these missiles are clearly carrying nuclear payloads, which is how America is totally destroyed by fire.

Then as the noise of battle subsided, to my ears came this quotation from Joel, the second chapter: “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh for it is nigh at hand. “A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong: there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

“A fire devoureth before them: and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in baffle array. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.

“They shall run like mighty men: they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk everyone on in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. “The shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. “The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.” Joel 2:1-10.

Modern-day prophetess Alison Pound just sent me this word from God about Joel 2 on the 26^th of October, two days ago.  This word was completely unsolicited, and here is what the Lord told her (in part; bold emphasis C.M.N.)-

I am showing you in Joel 2 that the army is from Me.  Yes, there will be nuclear attack which will lay waste but you should know that I speak in symbols and the language had to be so for those of the past generations.  But, to you today, these words in Joel are both spiritual about an army, and literal. No physical army will march on American soil. They don’t have to, it (America) will just be bombed from afar.

The prophet Joel describes the Day of the Lord using the most profound imagery!  I imagine that the fallout from dozens of exploded nuclear warheads will darken the sun and the moon, not to mention that the explosions themselves will shake the earth violently as they impact, all within one hour or perhaps essentially simultaneously.  We also see the “moving” of the earth in Jeremiah 50:46-

 “At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.”

To tie in this portion of Reverend Allen’s vision with the next part, the following verse is required; a verse which speaks of the fall of Babylon the Great, America; Revelation 18:24-

“And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.”

We see in the preceding verse a powerful indictment of America!  Next, Reverend Allen’s vision transitions from the earthly to the heavenly realm . . .

Then the voice was still. The earth, too, was silent, the silence, with the silence of death. And then to my ears came another sound – a sound of distant singing. It was the sweetest music I had ever heard. There was joyful shouting, and sounds of happy laughter. Immediately, I knew it was the rejoicing of the saints of God. I looked, and there high in the heaven, above the smoke and poisonous gases, above the noise of battle, I saw a huge mountain. It seemed to be of solid rock, and I knew at once that this was the Mountain of the Lord. The sounds of music and rejoicing were coming from a cleft, high up in the side of the rock mountain. It was the saints of God who were doing the rejoicing. It was God’s own people who were singing and dancing and shouting with joy, safe from all harm which had come upon the earth, for they were hidden away in the cleft of the rock.

There in the cleft, they were shut in, protected by a great, giant hand which reached out of the heavens, and which was none other than the hand of God, shutting them in, until the storm be over-passed. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption.” Galatians 6:7.

Now, this may represent in part the True Believers here on earth who have been spared this judgment, although the vision clearly shows the heavenly realm, from which this sweet music is primarily originating, for we read in the very next verses after Revelation 18:24, which are the first verses of Revelation 19:1-3-

^“And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God.  For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.  And again they said, Alleluia, and her smoke rose up for ever and ever.”

The smoke of America’s burning by nuclear fire will rise up continually, without end.  Try to imagine that, will you?  This horrific scenario will most certainly come to pass.

No doubt many who are reading this are wondering, “Will America actually be invaded? Will she have to pay for her wickedness and sin, and for turning her back upon God? Will the wrath and fury of God’s judgment fall upon Uncle Sam? Will America be invaded by Russia? Will Russia use the horrible G gas that can kill millions in a few seconds time? Will she resort to biological warfare that could kill literally millions over night? Will Russia resort to the use of hydrogen weapons? Could God allow such a horrible thing to happen to America? In reply to all these questions, permit me to quote a few scriptures, and make a few thought provoking statements.

America has been sowing with a free hand, preparing for a tremendous harvest – but what has she sown? God declares that as sure as America has sown, SHE SHALL REAP!

“The wicked shall be turned into Hell, and all nations that forget God.” Palms 9:17.

“The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him but his power and his wrath is against all that forsake him.” Ezra 8:22.

“If ye be willing and obedient ye shall eat the good of the land, but if ye rebel and refuse, ye shall be devoured with the sword.” Isaiah 1:19, 20. …

It is my firm conviction, based upon the authority of God’s word, that any nation which forgets God to the extent that America has forgotten Him – any nation that rebels and refuses to walk in obedience to God’s word as America has refused and rebelled shall be destroyed, and that without remedy.” “He that being often reproved, hardeneth his neck shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.” Proverbs 29:1.

In the light of these scriptures, I am convinced that America is on God’s list!… Never did a generation of people live in such critical times. Decay has already progressed far. Judgment is on the way. And there is only one hiding place from the wrath of God. That hiding place is in the cleft of the Rock, Christ Jesus, protected by His mighty hand.

My friend, have you found the cleft in the rock? Has the mighty protecting hand of God shut you in? Do you have on the wedding garments? Are you ready for the wonderful coming of Jesus Christ? If the storm should strike tonight, would you be hidden in that cleft in the rock, which is Christ?…

I will let Reverend Allen’s final statements stand on their own.  These verses would clearly fit America, even if America were not Babylon the Great.  Oh, but she is indeed end-times Babylon, and my summary of this most profound vision is the only analysis available as a publication (to my knowledge) which puts it all together!  It is time for repentance on the part of each and every American citizen.  I pray that millions more will be saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, as the day of America’s demise is fast approaching.  Yet, as a whole, this most sinful of nations, America, a nation which was birthed to be a light to the world (Jeremiah 50:11- “Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass and bellow as bulls”) will not repent, for as we read in Jeremiah 51:9-

“We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.”

END A.A. ALLEN VISION AND COMMENTARY

——————————————————————–

I would now like to add a few comments about the Rapture.  As I have often stated in articles on this blog, I am frankly not certain as to the relative timing of the occurrence of the Rapture.  The Lord has me working on other important research, and there are plenty of sisters and brothers doing Rapture research; it is simply not my calling to be overly concerned about it although, of course, I am greatly interested in the topic as should be all True Believers.  In terms of when the Rapture might well occur relative to the day of Babylon America’s destruction, I will first point the reader to Revelation 18:4-

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

This command occurs just prior to the indictment against Babylon America in succeeding verses.  So, is this a Rapture call or, alternately, is it a call to flee the United States?

[Obviously, the first layer of meaning is that we are to leave Babylon and this world spiritually.  The following two excellent books are referenced within the Bibliography.]

Pastor John Price believes that this verse represents a call to physically leave America before her judgment, whereas, in contrast, Dr. Richard Coombes is adamant that this verse is a Rapture call.  Dr. Coombes wrote the definitive work on America as Babylon the Great, and published it in a two volume set.  Dr. Coombes also presents an exhaustive study of this verse, and concludes that Revelation 18:4 is a command to come up towards the voice (in Heaven)!  Here is a portion of what he states about Revelation 18:4-

I think the Shout of verse 4 should be interpreted as being the “Shout” at the time of the Rapture (see 1st Thessalonians 4:16 ‘For the Lord, Himself shall descend from Heaven with a SHOUT, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall arise first.  (17) Then we which are alive and remain, shall be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord.’)

Sisters and brothers, I do not know which gentleman is correct, but I do know that when a person comes out of Babylon spiritually, then that person is certain to spend eternity in His presence, Praise Him!  I obviously hope that it is Dr. Coombes who is correct in his assessment, and I can most certainly attest that he is fluent in the written Hebrew and Greek of the Holy Bible.

One more item of note about Revelation 18:4; it is verse 300 of Revelation!  The Number 300 means “The Spirit of God”-

http://www.biblewheel.com/gr/gr_300.asp

The next number, 301, has its primary meaning of “Fire” (which precisely fits the means of Babylon’s destruction).  I would hope that it is not a stretch to suggest that perhaps we are to be “taken in the spirit” just before the “fire”.  Certainly, we will be at least “sheltered” (follow link in Appendix to Dumitru Duduman’s vision).

The number 300 seems to suggest a Rapture connotation or supernatural sheltering indeed!  If it be His will, may we all meet the Lord in the clouds, in the “twinkling of an eye”, just before America’s sure demise?

With Love in Christ,

Now, having said this, I am convinced that “earth changes” have dramatically increased in recent years and months, so there is certainly something going on to make things so out of kilter.  I am especially concerned with seismic activity and, to a lesser degree, with solar activity as well.  In fact, I awaken each day thinking that there might have been a catastrophic high 8s to high 9s earthquake; I am expecting such to occur any day now; that is, another massive earthquake and tsunami somewhere in the world.  My concerns are not without merit, and the fact is that in addition to being a watchman I am also a geologist by profession.  Here is a chart which shows what is going on seismically with this earth (“click” for larger view)-

Several months ago, after hearing a lot of discussion about the Mayan topic, I decided to look into the “end of the Mayan calendar” hype, and quickly came to the conclusion that December 21, 2012 was not even the correct date.  I looked at the scant evidence presented for the 2012 date versus the strong evidence presented by Mayan expert Dr. Carl Johan Calleman for the date of October 28, 2011, and I greatly favor the latter.  In fact, I am convinced of this.  Here is a quote from Dr. Calleman-

. . . the October 28, 2011 date is based on massive scientific evidence that the Nine Underworlds and Thirteen Heavens known from ancient Mayan sources indeed describe cosmic evolution in all of its aspects.

So, whatever it all might mean, I am here going to present a short summary.  Recall please two things:  first, that Dr. Calleman is what I would term a “New Ager” and, second, that the Mayans themselves were essentially pagans (at best) or devil worshippers (at worst) and therefore received at least a portion of their spiritual insights from the master liar himself, Satan.  Yet in all due fairness, the calendar they constructed is unique and highly mathematical.

I will be summarizing and quoting from 2 separate articles written by Dr. Calleman, linked here-

http://www.calleman.com/content/articles/risk_of_2012.htm

The “End” of the Mayan calendar, Solar Flares and Earth Changes

As well as an analysis of his second article-

http://kauilapele.wordpress.com/2011/10/04/carl-johan-calleman-10-02-11-the-%E2%80%9Cend%E2%80%9D-of-the-mayan-calendar-solar-flares-and-earth-changes/

Now, let me start by saying that Dr. Calleman does refer to the Bible several times in his writings.  Specifically, he discussed two main topics from Revelation; the seven vials as discussed in Revelation 16, and the New Jerusalem of Revelation 3 and 21.  Yet, he is also predicting, it would appear, that this calendar “end” will lead to peace and stability very soon.  I do agree with him that we are approaching that “time” (albeit within a few years), but there is no way that the seven vials are going to be poured out starting October 28, 2011, since the trumpets have not even blown yet.  But in all fairness, that is not quite what he is saying.  In fact, let me quote Dr. Calleman now-

(The time ahead) has much in common with the difficult birth scenario for the “New Jerusalem” as this is presented in the Book of Revelation.  [emphasis C.M.N.]

Just to make it crystal clear, “the difficult birth scenario” would by necessity include the trumpets and vials of Revelation, a period of time during most of the inhabitants of the earth will perish.  Rather, what Dr. Calleman focuses on and does firmly believe is that there will be a “universal consciousness” which we Christians know cannot happen until the Millennial Kingdom itself, and it will not be quite what he is suggesting.  In other words, from Scripture it appears to me that if the Mayan calendar is to be deemed largely accurate then it must point to several years of earth-shattering catastrophes before reaching that era of peace and harmony.  Therefore, I am certainly looking at the period of time around October 28 of this year as perhaps the start of the “birth pangs” becoming stronger and closer together.  And I say this strictly from a Christian perspective as the timeframe does seem to fit quite well.  For example, the world might right now be at the brink of another economic collapse akin to that of late 2008.  And I’ve already mentioned that a catastrophic earthquake/tsunami could occur at any time.

Now, when I speak of the “end” of the Mayan calendar on October 28, 2011, what I am really referring to is the end of the “energies of the Long Count”, as per Dr. Calleman.  Dr. Calleman says the following about what the date October 28, 2011 truly means for the earth/inhabitants of earth-

What this “end” may mean… My basic answer would be that the universe attains its highest quantum state and creates a new stage for life…

The end date simply reflects the point in time when the Cosmic Tree of Life attains its highest quantum state.

. . . it constitutes the end of the shifts that have been caused by alternations in the quantum states of the Tree of Life up until that point . .

. . . we are approaching the end of cyclical changes and the highest quantum state of the universe, it is also logical that the economic meltdown that we are now in is not merely a “recession” or a “depression”, such as we know to have been precipitated in the past by nights in the calendar. The decline is instead the beginning of the end to the cycles of the economy.

. . . the fulfillment of the evolutionary plan for all of creation.

Although this gentleman subscribes to the fallacious 12/21/2012 date, the following quote by John Major Jenkins about the end of the Mayan calendar is quite intriguing and useful-

. . . around the year 2012, a large chapter in human history will be coming to an end.  All the values and assumptions of the previous World Age will expire, and a new stage of human growth will commence . . . the Maya understood this to be a natural process, in which new life follows a death.

Now, for a slight change of subject, Dr. Calleman had actually thought that the international financial collapse would have occurred already, but since it has not, he believes that it may be imminent, as based on these words:

…no occurrence has yet been powerful enough to precipitate the collapse… and it now seems that this will not happen until in the seventh day of the Ninth wave, October 11-28. If so, the end of the calendar may become a very marked discontinuity.

Okay, so that matches the economic demise we know will occur, from Scripture, and with this will obviously come great political changes and new and horrific wars.  But what of earth changes?  This is how Dr. Calleman explains it in New Age terminology:

Since the calendar is now about to come to an end we may thus also ask if the continental structure of the Earth, the global brain, will now be completed and if this will affect the stability of the Earth’s crust. If it does then maybe, the increased seismic activity in recent times derives from the fact that the inner core of the Earth, is now being fine-tuned for the transmission of the new unity consciousness from the Cosmic Tree of Life.  [emphasis C.M.N.]

Wow, what the heck?  That’s a whole lot of words I don’t really understand to describe something actually very simple.  The simplicity being that God will unleash tremendous seismic events across the continents and oceans of the world as part of His plan for these end-times which, yes, do ultimately culminate in the New Jerusalem setting which Dr. Calleman is most interested in.  Although I would not describe the New Jerusalem as “unity consciousness” exactly, but certainly close to that!

Dr. Calleman goes on to explain that the Mayan calendar is the only one in the world not based on mechanical time (the Greek “chronos”), but rather on consciousness-based time (the Greek “kairos”).  Now, this is actually quite interesting, and by looking at it this way we can see why we should not be expecting the world to end on this day.  So, again, I agree with Dr. Calleman that the world will absolutely not end on October 28, 2011, Praise God!  Dr. Calleman explains why the October 28 date will likely not be a “quantum shift”-

Many people are expecting a quantum shift as the Mayan calendar comes to an end – and rightly so – but a continuous astronomical cycle by definition never gives rise to quantum shifts.  [emphasis C.M.N.]

Both the earth changes and economic problems which the world has faced in increasing magnitudes are revealed in the Mayan calendar as expected events of the “Ninth wave” frequency increase (he attributes this to the vials of Revelation although, as I explain above, this doesn’t fit perfectly, as these are yet in the future, albeit in the near future and may indeed be triggered soon after October 28, 2011).  Here is a very recent quote which brings this together and, below it, a figure from Dr. Calleman’s article which shows this wave and plotted events quite accurately (again, though, remember that since some of the economic events did not manifest as plotted below, that October 11-28 instead might be the timeframe in which these events occur, possibly even including, as he mentions, an intensification of solar flares!).

What we are witnessing is thus not another recession, but the end of the world capitalist system and the protests in the US against “Wall Street” may be an indication as good as any of this.

…the Ninth wave has also brought a marked intensification of many types of natural disasters sometimes in places they have never been seen before… events… include solar flares, comets, earthquakes, floods, heat waves and extreme winds…

Please view the graph in the following article by Dr. Carl Johan Calleman “The risks of believing that the Mayan calendar ends December 21, 2012!”-

Now, it must be stated that Dr. Calleman is not the only Mayan expert who is adamant about the prophecy of the Thirteen Baktuns and 13 Ahau by which one arrives at the October 28, 2011 end date.  Mayan elder Don Alejandro Oxlaj of the esteemed “Council of Elders” likewise carries this prophecy, although he does not specify this end date per se.  They both agree that the last Katun shift took place on February 10, 1992 (7200 days before October 28, 2011; i.e. a Katun is 7200 days long).  Look at all of the important events which happened right around the last Katun shift (courtesy of the referenced article by Dr. Calleman)-

August 1991- The launching of the World Wide Web

December 25, 1991- The end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union

February 7, 1992- The institution of the European Union

This is quite compelling, and for this reason we should certainly look at October 28, 2011 as, at the very least, a transition into dramatic change of some type, or an enhancement of the economic/political/earth changes we are already witnessing.

Dr. Calleman believes it is of great importance to understand that the true end date is October 28, 2011 and not December 21, 2012, and here is how he summarizes it-

If you ignore the evidence and listen to the December 21, 2012 “alignment” prophets this is likely to have very serious direct consequences for your own life and how you approach the future. With the acceleration of time in the Galactic Underworld the difference of 420 days between the two end dates is literally as big as that between day and night.

In summary then, again, I agree with Dr. Calleman that the true end date of the Mayan calendar is October 28, 2011.  He proves this point in his article entitled “Why the Creation Cycles do not end December 21, 2012, but October 28, 2011”, linked here-

http://www.calleman.com/content/articles/end_of_creationcycles.htm

This quote from the above article is quite relevant to include-

Another equally compelling reason why December 21, 2012 cannot be the true date of completion of creation is that this day is 4 Ahau in the tzolkin count. Since the Long Count consists of exactly 7200 tzolkin rounds then the true end of creation must fall on a day that is 13 Ahau in the tzolkin count . . . seem to indicate that the date of relevance is October 28, 2011, which in fact is 13 Ahau in the tzolkin count.  [emphasis C.M.N.]

From my Christian standpoint, I interpret “what this date could mean” quite differently than he does, although there are pronounced similarities.  For example, I know that this earth and her inhabitants must soon proceed through the rigors of the trumpets and vials of Revelation prior to achieving a true “unity consciousness” which is what Dr. Calleman compares to the New Jerusalem.  Being well versed with end-times prophecies, I am therefore expecting major earth changes, political changes, economic collapse, and multiple wars within the next few years.  October 28, 2011 may very well turn out to be an approximate “turning point” in which the birth pangs become more intense and closer together.  I believe, therefore, that there is a lot of truth imbedded within the Mayan calendar and it is worth deeper study, as long as results of the investigation do not contradict anything which our Bible states.  So far, I am seeing a lot of agreement although, again, I am adamant that many “negative” changes must occur before we are close to seeing the “unity consciousness” of the New Jerusalem.  To prove my point, I will again quote Dr. Calleman and then comment on what he says about the meaning of the October 28, 2011 Mayan calendar end date-

. . . the universe attains its highest quantum state and creates a new stage for life (at the top of the nine-storied pyramid).  [emphasis C.M.N.]

Well, this is troubling.  God generally does not much like pyramids nor the related ziggurats, which both the Babylonians and Mayans are well known for; think “Tower of Babel” (Genesis 11).  Making this sound exceedingly dire is the number “nine”, the famous Biblical number for judgment and finality-

http://philologos.org/__eb-nis/nine.htm

I would think then, that by using these clues within a Christian framework, October 28, 2011 might well be an approximate start date for some horrific judgments to befall the inhabitants of the earth.  That is my minor contribution which I can add to Dr. Calleman’s impressive body of work.  This said, obviously kudos are due to Dr. Calleman for some awesome research into correctly deciphering what was one of the great mysteries of our time, the actual Mayan calendar “end date”.  Do I expect an international “event” to occur on this day of October 28, 2011?  No, but then again I would not be surprised whatsoever.  Nor would I be surprised if the elite who run the world actually set something into motion on that day.  If we see a major economic collapse between October 11 and October 27, then we really need to be looking at October 28 much more closely, for that would prove that this calendar has some real merit behind it in terms of identifying distinct “trends”.  Yet, no matter what happens or does not happen around that date, please at least “rest assured” that the upcoming December 21, 2012 date is “hype” as far as the Mayan calendar end date is concerned, although there is certainly a very high potential on that particular date for the occult elite to attempt to change the course of history.

All in all, just remember that our Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon, so keep your eyes on the One True God of this universe!  The only true “end date” is one which He and only He knows!

With Love in Christ,

Appendix:

Certain Maya are expecting the return of their god “Quetzalcoatl” around the end date of their calendar.  Considered a “feathered serpent”, his spiritual description actually bears a remarkable similarity to the Antichrist of the Bible.  Many Maya actually consider Quetzalcoatl to originate from North America, specifically the present-day United States of America.  In fact, prior to the arrival of European Christopher Columbus on our shores, America was referred to as “the land of the feathered serpent” by certain indigenous peoples.

There is a particular book which is a “must read” for anyone interested in the topic of the Mayan calendar.  It is by Daniel Pinchbeck (2006), and is entitled “2012- The Return of Quetzalcoatl”.

Here is a relevant quote from his excellent book, which helps explain the basis of the Mayan calendar-

According to Argűelles, the 5,125 year (5,200 tun) of the “Long Count,” from 3113 BC to AD 2012, measures the entire span of what we call history, from its beginning to its end . . .  [emphasis C.M.N.]
