Signs of the Times:

JESUS IS COMING: EVENTS GOT YOUR ATTENTION NOW?

In the three chapters of the Bible known as the Olivet discourse, Jesus gave prophecies of events to happen before his return to earth (Luke 21, Mark 13, Matthew 24). In each of these chapters one of the prophecies dealt with great earthquakes in divers places.

We are seeing that fulfilled at an increasing frequency. In our February newsletter a short report dealt with the January Haiti earthquake and some amazing statistics. A key point made there is that of the top twenty deadliest earthquakes in recorded history ( a long time – the deadliest occurred in 1556 AD!) more than half have occurred in just the last approximately one hundred years – and twenty percent just since December 26, 2004! That is way out of what would be expected through normal statistical distribution. These statistics do not include the Chile earthquake of February 27! Where that will end up ranking is not yet known, but we certainly see it was an extremely powerful earthquake.

Jesus called events such as these earthquakes birth pains. You all know how birth pains work. They get closer and closer together until the baby is born. In this case, closer and closer together until – the Lord is here!

If we are alert, we can see the signs. Jesus said that. And the signs are amazingly clear. I’ve talked about that at length in person and on television and in several CD recordings. It is one of the primary subjects God has called me to cover. Like all things with the Lord, some people get it and the rest just go on oblivious to what is happening.

For all of you who get it, realize the time is very, very short. I’m even thinking about the need to issue an update of our Prophecies Fulfilled CD every few months.

For those who did not see the article, repeated below are the recent newsletter comments about the Haiti earthquake and Jesus’ return.

THE HAITI EARTHQUAKE AND JESUS’ RETURN
The recent earthquake in Haiti is a giant human disaster, a tragedy for all who are in or connected to Haiti. But here I want to note something else. The scale of this earthquake puts it into the list of the 20 most deadly earthquakes in recorded history – really, into the top 10 of that list. You’ve heard me on this subject before. Great earthquakes in divers places is one of the prophecies of Jesus himself regarding events to happen leading up to his return. Without going into detail, I now here remind you of these three facts that are either encouraging to those awaiting Jesus’ return or shocking to those who haven’t yet waked up to what is happening in our time:
• Of the 20 most deadly earthquakes in recorded history – and that is hundreds and hundreds of years, 11 have occurred in the last approximately 100 years! That’s 55 %. If I had just asked you how many you think have occurred in the last hundred years, you would likely have said 1 or 2, and mathematically that would have been a reasonable answer. But 11? More than half? Surely you recognize this is out of a normal distribution over time.
• Of the 10 deadliest hurricanes (or typhoons) in recorded history, 4 or forty percent, have occurred in the last 40 years. The same point as above – this is way more than would have normally been expected (Jesus also warned of people being frightened by the roaring and tossing of the sea.).
• Now, for the real shocker, 4 of the deadliest earthquakes of recorded history and 1 of the deadliest hurricanes of recorded history have all happened since December 26, 2004. And 3 of these have occurred since May 2008!

Yes, partners and friends, we are living in the days of Jesus’ return. As detective Friday in the old show Dragnet would have said, “just the facts.” Yes, just look at the facts.
