Revelation and the Ten Plagues of Moses
Revelation and the Ten Plagues of Moses
19 years ago, in 1993, based on the study of Revelation, Pastor Wind has shared that events of the “Ten Plagues” in Moses’ time will repeat again in the end time.
In fact, the last visit of Planet X was exactly the time of Exodus led by Moses.
While leading Moses, God enabled the “ten plagues” in Egypt at that time with the coming of Planet X.
Although the bible didn’t mention that the “Ten Plagues of Moses” were related to the coming of planet, the whole history of Israelites leaving Egypt was not only recorded by the bible but also the Egyptian historical manuscript, the Kolbrin bible which recorded in detail in the hostile perspective of the Egyptians!
Even more, the Kolbrin bible also clearly described the appearance of the “ten plagues” originated from the sudden approach of the massive planet called the Destroyer.
At the same time, Revelation in the bible has already foretold that the end-time disasters are related to the coming of massive celestial body or falling of stars.
Revelation 8:8-11
8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood,
9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water--
11 the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
Revelation 6:12-14
12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red,
13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.
14 The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
Revelation 9:1
The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss.
In fact, many ancient civilizations had already foretold that the end-time disasters are brought about by the same massive planet 3600 years ago.
In recent times, this planet is generally called Planet X which was publicly named by NASA in the 80’s.
And the Egyptian historical book, the Kolbrin bible, has foretold that 3600 years later, i.e. around 2012 in western calendar, the Destroyer will come again. Therefore the “ten plagues” in Moses’ time will happen again in this world in the end times.
For example, those happened during the time of Moses

1) The Plague of Hail
Exodus 9:23

Revelation 16:17-21
The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, “It is done!” Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake.
The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.
Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found.
From the sky huge hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds, fell on people. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.

9 It will become fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on people and animals throughout the land.”
10 So they took soot from a furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on people and animals.
11 The magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils that were on them and on all the Egyptians.
Plague of Boils is also mentioned in the Revelation

6 And the next day the Lord did it: All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died.
Revelation also foretold that in the end times, great plagues will appear and one forth of the population will be killed.

The same kind of plague in Locusts is also foretold by Revelation.
Revelation 9:1-12
The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes.
6) The Plague of frogs

6) The Plague of frogs
Exodus 8:5-6
5 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the streams and canals and ponds, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.’”
6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land.
At the same, Revelation has also mentioned about frogs.
5 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the streams and canals and ponds, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.’”

Revelation 16:12-13
12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.

21 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness spreads over Egypt—darkness that can be felt.”
22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days.
21 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness spreads over Egypt—darkness that can be felt.”

It is unexpected that the plague of darkness is actually foretold by Revelation many times.
Revelation 6:12-14
I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
Revelation 8:12
12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.

In addition, Jesus Christ also foretold that there is the plague of darkness in the end times.
Matthew 24:29-30
“Immediately after the distress of those days,” ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
“Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
Therefore, the last visit of Planet X initiated the Ten Plagues of Moses. Similarly, disasters like the Ten Plagues of Moses mentioned in Revelation are actually brought about by the coming of the same gigantic planet, Planet X. Hence, people in the end times should have the true knowledge of Planet X.

West Coast at Stake
West Coast at Stake
This is an excerpt of an article Sound the Alarm released by well-known Christian prophet Rick Joyner on the prophet-platform Elijahlist.com on Feb. 2 this year.
Editor's note: Rick Joyner is the founder and executive director of MorningStar Ministries and Heritage International Ministries and is the Senior Pastor of MorningStar Fellowship Church. He is the author of more than forty books, including The Final Quest, A Prophetic History, and Church History.
He prophesied about a catastrophic event at the US West Coast without specifying the time, yet pointed out that this thing, when unfolded, will be the “worst day” of his life. (possibly meaning this will happen in his days)
Coincidentally, Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), the Sleeping Prophet, has suggested that much of the West Coast could possibly be flooded with the ocean's water. The region is actually a much discussed topic among 2012 watchers including Webbot.
Give it a read.
Rick’s full article here: http://www.morningstarministries.org/resources/word-week/2012/west-coast-disaster-sounding-alarm-what-spirit-saying-part-3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rick Joyner:
"I've had to prophesy many negative things over the last few years, and like it or not (and many don't), we have a track record of accuracy. Quite a few have listened, evaluated, believed, prepared, and have prospered. I know the prepared will prosper in all times, but I would rather not prosper because of catastrophe. Our first goal should be to warn so that the catastrophe does not have to happen. Everything will be settled and made right on the Judgment Day, which is what I've resolved to live for.
Our West Coast is about to be shaken like it has never been shaken before. I am encouraging everyone I know to pray for more time, but we don't have much time. Others also have been seeing similar things along the New Madrid fault line along the Mississippi River. Some have seen this linked with when the U.S. puts serious pressure on Israel to divide Jerusalem. There are amazing parallels between things we have done to Israel with natural disasters that have struck our country. These are not a coincidence.
...Some on the West Coast have started hearing for themselves, even some of the most vehement doubters, and for this I am very thankful.
Even so, the day this begins to unfold on our West Coast will be the worst day of my life. I learned a long time ago that you are unlikely to get credit for accurate prophecies until you're dead and no longer a threat. For this reason, I don't even consider being vindicated. I would much rather be wrong about this one, but I know I'm not. Since the Japan earthquake and tsunami, I have been feeling the grief more and more for our own countrymen that are on our West Coast."

Refuge at "Ghost Towns"
Refuge at "Ghost Towns"
These days have seen talks on China's sharper-than-expected growth slowdown and recent data indeed looks a bit worrying. But one could hardly forget the economy was just overheated two years ago.
Analysts argued that China made itself mired in an asset bubble then as it sought to polish its economic scorecard by building dozens of vacant cities, or the so-called "ghost towns", across the country. But perhaps that's just part of the story.
World governments are said to be preparing for 2012 calamities and perhaps the Chinese is no exception. The ghost towns, with reportedly 64 million empty homes, may offer a shelter to the homeless when coastal cities go under water, as what most 2012 observers have suggested.
The cities are well located in regions like Inner Mongolia and Zhengzhou. Here's a video introducing that and it contains some English video clips from 03:43.

What will it be in 2013? An interview with Andrew Basiago, a time traveller
What will it be in 2013? An interview with Andrew Basiago, a time traveller
Andrew Basiago, U.S. resident, 49 years old, born in 1961, is a lawyer and a writer. He participated in Project Pegasus that was organized by the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the Department of Defense of the U.S.
Project Pegasus is a Black Project of the Department of Defense. Mission was taken place in Gettysburg, U.S., using time machine to send children to the past and the future. Basiago was the first experimenter. He was sent to the past and took some photos.
According to Basiago, only children under 14 could be sent by the machine. Experiments of the project were conducted between 1968 and 1972. Basiago had been to Washington in 2013 and found that the city was under water.

More about Andrew Basiago:
http://www.projectpegasus.net/andrew_d_basiago
He is a prominent figure in the Truth Movement leading a campaign to lobby the US government to disclose such truths as the fact that the US has achieved “quantum access” to past and future events and has used time travel to place a secret US presence on Mars.
Andy has been identified as the first of two “planetary-level whistle blowers” predicted by the Web Bot, which analyzes the content of the World Wide Web to discern global trends.
His Truth Campaign about time travel and life on Mars is based on direct, personal experience serving on two US defense projects.
In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, Andy was a child participant in Project Pegasus, which was the US time-space exploration program at the time of the emergence of time travel in the US defense-technical community.
He was called back into government service in the early 1980’s, when he made numerous visits to Mars after being tapped to join the CIA’s Mars “jump room” program.
For over a decade, Andy has investigated his secret project experiences on a quest to prove them and communicate them to others.
Soon, he will publish a tell-all book that will reveal the true story of his awe-inspiring and terrifying experiences time traveling for the US government.
Andrew D. Basiago was born on September 18, 1961 in Morristown, New Jersey, the youngest of five children, and grew up in Northern New Jersey and Southern California.
Andy was identified in early childhood as an “Indigo” child with special abilities, including the ability to use his mind to levitate small objects and to perform telepathy by reading the minds of others.
A past member of Mensa, the high IQ society, he holds five degrees, including a BA in History from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and a Master of Philosophy from the University of Cambridge.
While an undergraduate at UCLA, Andy studied American history during the day while attending a night school in strategic intelligence administered by the Naval Postgraduate School.
Upon graduating from UCLA in 1984, he became a journalist and protégé of editor Norman Cousins of the Saturday Review, who once compared him to Robert M. Hutchins and nominated him to be the editor of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.
Andy was inspired by a meeting with futurist Buckminster Fuller in 1981 to pursue a career in environmental affairs. After they met, Fuller wrote: “Andrew D. Basiago’s integrity augurs well for humanity’s continuance in (the) Universe.”
He began his public career writing articles about urban affairs for Los Angeles newspapers, national periodicals, and the Cousteau Society journal Calypso Log.
Andy studied environmental law at Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon, and then went on to design nature friendly urban plans for cities in California and study environmental law with Professor Malcolm Grant at Cambridge.
His scholarly papers about “sustainability” have been published in peer-reviewed academic journals in Australia, Britain, and the United States.
Andy was admitted to the Washington State Bar Association in 1996 and maintains a private practice in Washington.
Recently, he edited several leading works related to humanity's contact with extraterrestrial life.
He was the editor of Alfred Lambremont Webre’s book, Exopolitics: Politics, Government, and Law in the Universe(Universe Books, 2005), which uses as a case study human contact with an advanced civilization on Mars.
He also edited The Fátima Trilogy by Dr. Joaquim Fernandes, Fina d’ Armada, and other scholars (Anomalist Books, 2007), a definitive history of the Fátima Incident of 1917 that explores its extraterrestrial aspects.
Andrew D. Basiago is on a crusade as a lawyer and statesman to have the US government disclose its time travel secrets.
Andy believes that lobbying the US government to declassify its secret teleportation capability, so that teleportation can be adopted globally as the leading form of civilian transport, is the most important environmental cause of our time.
He is calling his truth campaign “Project Pegasus” after the secret US time travel program that he served in during his childhood as one of America’s early time-space explorers.
Andy has enthralled listeners with his accounts of his time travel experiences in numerous television and radio interviews.
His appearances on talk radio’s popular Coast-to-Coast AM with George Noory have been hailed as major “disclosure events” and have been popular broadcasts in the history of that show.
Andy has also described his time travel experiences in Project Pegasus during appearances on mainstream TV broadcasts in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
About his truth campaign as a participant in the US secret space program, he has stated:
Imagine a world in which one could jump through Grand Central Teleport in New York City, travel through a tunnel in time-space, and emerge several seconds later at Union Teleport in Los Angeles. Such a world has been possible since 1967-68, when teleportation was first achieved by DARPA’s Project Pegasus, only to be suppressed ever since as a secret weapon. When my quest, Project Pegasus, succeeds, such a world will emerge, and human beings linked by teleportation around the globe will proclaim that the Time-Space Age has begun!
In an effort to establish on Earth that the Mars he visited is inhabited, Andy has also earned distinction as a leading scholar in the Mars anomaly research community.
His paper The Discovery of Life on Mars, published in 2008, was the first work to prove that Mars is an inhabited planet and also the first work ever published on Earth to contain images of humanoid beings on another planet.
After publishing this landmark paper, Andy founded the Mars Anomaly Research Society (MARS), a group that is dedicated to researching, disclosing, and educating the public about life on Mars, revealing the US presence there, and developing the laws and policies that are needed to protect Mars from visitation, exploration, habitation, and colonization by human beings from Earth.
He founded MARS in 2009 after discovering evidence of life in a photograph of the Red Planet beamed back to Earth by NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit. MARS continues to make breathtaking discoveries of ancient artifacts and biological beings on Mars.
Andy's efforts to prove his Mars findings and bring them to public light have been called “heroic.” Of his Mars anomaly research as the president and founder of MARS, Andy has written:
I am leading the campaign to achieve political recognition that Mars is inhabited because we must enact an international treaty to protect the ecology and civilization of Mars. We must remember that Mars does not belong to us. Mars belongs to the Martians. If we fail to recognize this, then we will fail our first major test of cosmic citizenship. I believe that the people of the Earth are ready for cosmic citizenship and I believe that they are ready for the truth!
In 2016, Andrew D. Basiago will be a candidate for President of the United States under the banner Andy 2016 – A Time for Truth.

Andrew D. Basiago, J.D., M.C.R.P. (Dist), M.Phil. (Cantab), 50, the team leader of Project Pegasus and the founder and president of MARS, is an American lawyer, writer, chrononaut, and 21st century visionary.
Andy served in Project Pegasus at the dawn of the Time-Space Age and was one of humanity’s early Mars explorers.He is a prominent figure in the Truth Movement leading a campaign to lobby the US government to disclose such truths as the fact that the US has achieved “quantum access” to past and future events and has used time travel to place a secret US presence on Mars.
Andy has been identified as the first of two “planetary-level whistle blowers” predicted by the Web Bot, which analyzes the content of the World Wide Web to discern global trends.
His Truth Campaign about time travel and life on Mars is based on direct, personal experience serving on two US defense projects.
In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, Andy was a child participant in Project Pegasus, which was the US time-space exploration program at the time of the emergence of time travel in the US defense-technical community.
He was called back into government service in the early 1980’s, when he made numerous visits to Mars after being tapped to join the CIA’s Mars “jump room” program.
For over a decade, Andy has investigated his secret project experiences on a quest to prove them and communicate them to others.
Soon, he will publish a tell-all book that will reveal the true story of his awe-inspiring and terrifying experiences time traveling for the US government.
Andrew D. Basiago was born on September 18, 1961 in Morristown, New Jersey, the youngest of five children, and grew up in Northern New Jersey and Southern California.
Andy was identified in early childhood as an “Indigo” child with special abilities, including the ability to use his mind to levitate small objects and to perform telepathy by reading the minds of others.
A past member of Mensa, the high IQ society, he holds five degrees, including a BA in History from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and a Master of Philosophy from the University of Cambridge.
While an undergraduate at UCLA, Andy studied American history during the day while attending a night school in strategic intelligence administered by the Naval Postgraduate School.
Upon graduating from UCLA in 1984, he became a journalist and protégé of editor Norman Cousins of the Saturday Review, who once compared him to Robert M. Hutchins and nominated him to be the editor of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.
Andy was inspired by a meeting with futurist Buckminster Fuller in 1981 to pursue a career in environmental affairs. After they met, Fuller wrote: “Andrew D. Basiago’s integrity augurs well for humanity’s continuance in (the) Universe.”
He began his public career writing articles about urban affairs for Los Angeles newspapers, national periodicals, and the Cousteau Society journal Calypso Log.
Andy studied environmental law at Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon, and then went on to design nature friendly urban plans for cities in California and study environmental law with Professor Malcolm Grant at Cambridge.
His scholarly papers about “sustainability” have been published in peer-reviewed academic journals in Australia, Britain, and the United States.
Andy was admitted to the Washington State Bar Association in 1996 and maintains a private practice in Washington.
Recently, he edited several leading works related to humanity's contact with extraterrestrial life.
He was the editor of Alfred Lambremont Webre’s book, Exopolitics: Politics, Government, and Law in the Universe(Universe Books, 2005), which uses as a case study human contact with an advanced civilization on Mars.
He also edited The Fátima Trilogy by Dr. Joaquim Fernandes, Fina d’ Armada, and other scholars (Anomalist Books, 2007), a definitive history of the Fátima Incident of 1917 that explores its extraterrestrial aspects.
Andrew D. Basiago is on a crusade as a lawyer and statesman to have the US government disclose its time travel secrets.
Andy believes that lobbying the US government to declassify its secret teleportation capability, so that teleportation can be adopted globally as the leading form of civilian transport, is the most important environmental cause of our time.
He is calling his truth campaign “Project Pegasus” after the secret US time travel program that he served in during his childhood as one of America’s early time-space explorers.
Andy has enthralled listeners with his accounts of his time travel experiences in numerous television and radio interviews.
His appearances on talk radio’s popular Coast-to-Coast AM with George Noory have been hailed as major “disclosure events” and have been popular broadcasts in the history of that show.
Andy has also described his time travel experiences in Project Pegasus during appearances on mainstream TV broadcasts in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
About his truth campaign as a participant in the US secret space program, he has stated:
Imagine a world in which one could jump through Grand Central Teleport in New York City, travel through a tunnel in time-space, and emerge several seconds later at Union Teleport in Los Angeles. Such a world has been possible since 1967-68, when teleportation was first achieved by DARPA’s Project Pegasus, only to be suppressed ever since as a secret weapon. When my quest, Project Pegasus, succeeds, such a world will emerge, and human beings linked by teleportation around the globe will proclaim that the Time-Space Age has begun!
In an effort to establish on Earth that the Mars he visited is inhabited, Andy has also earned distinction as a leading scholar in the Mars anomaly research community.
His paper The Discovery of Life on Mars, published in 2008, was the first work to prove that Mars is an inhabited planet and also the first work ever published on Earth to contain images of humanoid beings on another planet.
After publishing this landmark paper, Andy founded the Mars Anomaly Research Society (MARS), a group that is dedicated to researching, disclosing, and educating the public about life on Mars, revealing the US presence there, and developing the laws and policies that are needed to protect Mars from visitation, exploration, habitation, and colonization by human beings from Earth.
He founded MARS in 2009 after discovering evidence of life in a photograph of the Red Planet beamed back to Earth by NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit. MARS continues to make breathtaking discoveries of ancient artifacts and biological beings on Mars.
Andy's efforts to prove his Mars findings and bring them to public light have been called “heroic.” Of his Mars anomaly research as the president and founder of MARS, Andy has written:
I am leading the campaign to achieve political recognition that Mars is inhabited because we must enact an international treaty to protect the ecology and civilization of Mars. We must remember that Mars does not belong to us. Mars belongs to the Martians. If we fail to recognize this, then we will fail our first major test of cosmic citizenship. I believe that the people of the Earth are ready for cosmic citizenship and I believe that they are ready for the truth!
In 2016, Andrew D. Basiago will be a candidate for President of the United States under the banner Andy 2016 – A Time for Truth.
The "Great Red Spot" on Jupiter
The "Great Red Spot" on Jupiter
On the surface of Jupiter storms of various sizes can be seen.
Amongst them, the most well known storm is the “Great Red Spot”. It has been discovered by human 300 years ago.
This ancient storm spins in an anti-clockwise direction with its size being equivalent to the size of two earths.
However this great red spot that has been on Jupiter for such a long time, is beginning to disappear. This is a very unusual phenomenon.
Is it because of Planet X?!
Secrets in the names of the Space Shuttles
Secrets in the names of the Space Shuttles
The U.S is the first country in the world to own space shuttles for actual operation. She is also the only country successful in carrying out the manned space shuttle mission with the biggest shuttle fleet.
There are six space shuttles that carried out space missions. They are:
1. Enterprise that carried out landing and other tests.

Although NASA is the world’s most advanced space agency, at the same time, it was also founded by a group of superstitious and evil former Nazi members and Freemason members.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Atlantis
Although NASA is the world’s most advanced space agency, at the same time, it was also founded by a group of superstitious and evil former Nazi members and Freemason members.
For example, many of the names of the space missions of NASA were named after the gods of Greek, Roman and Egyptian myths and legends. For example, Apollo Mission is the exemplar.
Named after Greek mythology, Apollo Mission was the mission to the moon from 1960s to 1970s. Apollo 13 was one of the missions. Its name for the Lunar module was called Aquarius. Actually, number 13 and Aquarius are New Age’s favorite codes.
Interestingly, Apollo 13 once experienced a small explosion, stopping it from landing on the moon. And the time was actually 13:13 on April 13, 1970.
In the 11th volume of “2012 Glorious Hope Message” on the revelation of UFO about secrets of the Moon, Pastor Wind analyzed that Apollo Mission was a series of program of fake moon mission..
In fact, concerning this Apollo 13’s fake moon mission, why did number 13 frequently occur in both the name and time of incident?
Besides, if you use all the names of these six space shuttles to form a sentence, it is actually related to the mysticism of Nazism and Freemason!
This sentence is: "A Colombian Enterprise to Endeavor for the Discovery of Atlantis and all Challengers shall be destroyed."
In fact, “Columbia” was the early name of the U.S., therefore the capital Washington was called “District of Columbia.” And the name of the Statue of Liberty was “Columbia.”
In the past 200 years, the U.S. was like an “enterprise” continuing to earn money for Freemason.
When Columbus discovered the New World, he was searching for “New Atlantis.” And the early name for the U.S. was called “Columbia,” which was named after its discover Columbus.
In fact, the Space Shuttle Atlantis has carried out the last mission of the Space Shuttle Mission which has already ended. Does this imply that their search for Atlantis is done successfully?
The explosion of Space Shuttle Challenger foreshadowed that a group of conspirators will completely destroy people against the New World Order.
At last, the Space Shuttle Columbia represents the U.S. itself. Upon its return to earth in 2003, it disintegrated in the sky.
Does this incident represent that when New World Order appears in 2012, the U.S. must disintegrate, just like the national emblem in the U.S. one dollar note representing that the New World Order will be resurrected from the ashes of the destruction of the U.S., just like phoenix being resurrected from the ashes?
The Firstfruits & the Holy Temple in Heaven
The Firstfruits & the Holy Temple in Heaven
Exodus 23:19
“Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. "Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk.
Leviticus 23:20
The priest is to wave the two lambs before the LORD as a wave offering, together with the bread of the firstfruits. They are a sacred offering to the LORD for the priest.
About 3600 years ago, at the last visit of Planet X, God called Moses to lead Israelites out of Egypt (exodus) into the wilderness and also issued laws, feasts and rituals of sacrifice.
At that time, God specified the firstfruits of crops, fruits and harvest of the land of Israelites to be offered in the house of the Lord, Holy to the Lord, acceptable to God.
Nehemiah 10:35-37
Nehemiah 10:35-37
"We also assume responsibility for bringing to the house of the LORD each year the firstfruits of our crops and of every fruit tree.
"As it is also written in the Law, we will bring the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, of our herds and of our flocks to the house of our God, to the priests ministering there.
"Moreover, we will bring to the storerooms of the house of our God, to the priests, the first of our ground meal, of our grain offerings, of the fruit of all our trees and of our new wine and oil. And we will bring a tithe of our crops to the Levites, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all the towns where we work.
Ezekiel 20:40-41
For on my holy mountain, the high mountain of Israel, declares the Sovereign LORD, there in the land the entire house of Israel will serve me, and there I will accept them. There I will require your offerings and your choice gifts, along with all your holy sacrifices.
I will accept you as fragrant incense when I bring you out from the nations and gather you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will show myself holy among you in the sight of the nations.
Exodus 34:26
"Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. "Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk."
Numbers 18:12
"I give you all the finest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain they give the LORD as the firstfruits of their harvest.
Deuteronomy 26:1-2
When you have entered the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance and have taken possession of it and settled in it,
take some of the firstfruits of all that you produce from the soil of the land the LORD your God is giving you and put them in a basket. Then go to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name
2 Chronicles 31:5
As soon as the order went out, the Israelites generously gave the firstfruits of their grain, new wine, oil and honey and all that the fields produced. They brought a great amount, a tithe of everything.
Proverbs 3:9
Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops;
Ezekiel 48:14
It will be a special gift to them from the sacred portion of the land, a most holy portion, bordering the territory of the Levites.
In fact, every year in “Feast of Firstfruits” in the past, Israelites would offer firstfruits and rich harvest to become holy in the house of the Lord.
Leviticus 23:9-12
The LORD said to Moses,
"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When you enter the land I am going to give you and you reap its harvest, bring to the priest a sheaf of the first grain you harvest.
He is to wave the sheaf before the LORD so it will be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.
On the day you wave the sheaf, you must sacrifice as a burnt offering to the LORD a lamb a year old without defect,...
On the day you wave the sheaf, you must sacrifice as a burnt offering to the LORD a lamb a year old without defect,...
This is to foreshadow the crucifixion of Jesus Christ for the salvation of all mankind 1500 years later.
Matthew 27:50-53
And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split.
The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
Also, on the day of the Feast of Firstfruits, Jesus was resurrected from death and first gained the “revived body” as human and caught up in the holy temple of heaven as “wave offering of firstfruits”.
Also, on the day of the Feast of Firstfruits, Jesus was resurrected from death and first gained the “revived body” as human and caught up in the holy temple of heaven as “wave offering of firstfruits”.
John 20:11-17
But Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus' body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
They asked her, "Woman, why are you crying?" "They have taken my Lord away," she said, "and I don't know where they have put him."
At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
"Woman," he said, "why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?" Thinking he was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him."
Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means Teacher).
Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' "
He becomes the role model of saints who will have the “revived body” in the future!
1 Corinthians 15:20
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:23
But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.
Therefore, only the “harvest of firstfruits” fully grown in faith can be caught up to the holy temple of the Lord in heaven and become holy.
Jacobs 1:18
He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
Therefore, the Bible has clearly mentioned that the End Time is the time of “harvest.”
Matthew 13:39-40
And the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
Matthew 21:33-34
"Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and went away on a journey.
When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.
Revelation 14:15-16
Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, "Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe."
So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
Only the firstfruits approved by God can enter the temple in eternal Heaven.
As in the time of Old Testament, only the harvest of firstfruits can be offered to the holy temple and become holy. The rest of the harvest is not “firstfruits.” Even though they are mature and fully grown, they will not be brought to the Holy Temple to bring Holy to the Lord. They will at most only be stored in “storehouse”.
Malachi 3:10
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.
Therefore, the harvest of end-time fully-grown firstfruits in the world is the “caught-up male child” recorded in Chapter 12 of Revelation. They will become the harvest of the firstfruits in the end times, approved by God and caught up to His throne and being given an eternal “revived body” like Jesus.
Revelation 12:1-5
A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.
Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads.
His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child the moment it was born.
She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.
On the contrary, the harvest after the “Feast of Firstfruits” is the mature harvest which cannot catch up in faith.
On the contrary, the harvest after the “Feast of Firstfruits” is the mature harvest which cannot catch up in faith.
In the “seven-year tribulation” in the end times, when the “male child” in Chapter 12 Revelation is caught up to the “holy temple’ in heaven, i.e. God’s throne, these mature “harvests” which cannot catch up in faith can only continue to catch up in the last 3 and a half years on earth to become “mature and fully-grown harvest” approved by God, then they can just be caught up.
Although these people manage to be caught up in the make-up test, they have already lost the time of “firstfruits” offered to the Lord as holy in the “holy temple” and also the time of becoming the bride of Jesus.
Exodus 34:26
"Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. "Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk."
Therefore, they can at most be stored in the “storehouse” of heaven and manage not to suffer in hell.
Earth is undergoing true polar wander, scientists say
Earth is undergoing true polar wander, scientists say

Scientists based in Germany and Norway today published new results about a geophysical theory known as true polar wander. That is a drifting of Earth’s solid exterior – an actual change in latitude for some land masses – relative to our planet’s rotation axis. These scientists used hotspots in Earth’s mantle as part of a computer model, which they say is accurate for the past 120 million years, to identify four possible instances of true polar wander in the past. And, they say, true polar wander is happening now. These scientists published their results in the Journal for Geophysical Research today (October 1, 2012).
The scientists – including Pavel V. Doubrovine and Trond H. Torsvik of the University of Oslo, and Bernhard Steinberger of the Helmholtz Center in Potsdam, Germany – established what they believe is a stable reference frame for tracking true polar wander. Based on this reference frame, they say that twice – from 90 to 40 million years ago – the solid Earth traveled back and forth by nearly 9 degrees with respect to our planet’s axis of rotation. What’s more, for the past 40 million years, the Earth’s solid outer layers have been slowly rotating at a rate of 0.2 degrees every million years, according to these scientists.
Diagram showing solid-body rotation of the Earth with respect to a stationary spin axis due to true polar wander. This diagram is greatly exaggerated. According to Doubrovine and his team, Earth’s solid outer layers have been slowly rotating at a rate of 0.2 degrees every million years. Diagram via Wikimedia Commons.
True polar wander is not:
- A geomagnetic reversal, or reversal of Earth’s magnetic field, known to have happened before in Earth history.
- Plate tectonics, which describes the large-scale motions of great land plates on Earth and is thought to be driven by the circulation of Earth’s mantle.
- Precession of the Earth, whereby our world’s axis of rotation slowly moves, tracing out a circle among the stars, causing the identity of our North Star changes over time.
True polar wander is a geophysical theory, a way of thinking about Earth processes that might happen and that these scientists believe do happen. The theory suggests that if an object of sufficient weight on Earth – for example, a supersized volcano or other weighty land mass – formed far from Earth’s equator, the force of Earth’s rotation would gradually pull the object away from the axis around which Earth spins. A supersized volcano far from Earth’s equator would create an imbalance, in other words. As explained at Princeton.edu:
If the volcanoes, land and other masses that exist within the spinning Earth ever became sufficiently imbalanced, the planet would tilt and rotate itself until this extra weight was relocated to a point along the equator.
That’s the theory of true polar wander. It would cause a movement of Earth’s land masses, but for a different reason than the reason the continents drift in the theory of plate tectonics (formerly called “continental drift”). In the theory of plate tectonics, the continents drift because Earth’s the layer of Earth underlying our planet’s crust, called the mantle, is convective. That is, it circulates, slowly – like water about to boil. In true polar wander, on the other hand, a similar-seeming movement of land masses on Earth’s crust happens in order to correct an imbalance of weight with respect to Earth’s spin.
Scientists’ understanding of true polar wander overlaps with their understanding of plate tectonics in various ways. That’s understandable, since it’s all the same Earth.
Scientists delving into true polar wander want to know when, in which direction, and at what rate the Earth’s solid exterior might be rotating due to true polar wander. To sort it out, they say, you would need a stable frame of reference to which observations of relative motion might be compared. Doubrovine and his team say they found one: volcanic hotspots.
Hotspot forming an island chain. As land plates drift, a successive of volcanoes form over the hotspot. Image via Wikimedia Commons.
In geology, hotspots are volcanic regions fed by Earth’s underlying mantle. For example, the Hawaiian islands are believed to have formed over a hotspot in the mantle. The hotspot created a volcano, but then – as that land plate drifted over time, as described by the theory of plate tectonics – the volcano drifted, too, and was eventually cut off from the hotspot. Gradually, another volcano begins to form over the hotspot, right next to the first one. And then it moves on … and another one forms … and so on … and so on. Earth’s crust produces first one, then another volcano over the hotspot until a long chain of volcanoes forms, such as in Hawaii. Hotspots have long been used to understand the motion of tectonic plates.
Doubrovine and colleagues went a step further in order to understand true polar wander. Instead of treating the hot spots as static – frozen in place at one spot above Earth’s mantle – their computer model let the hotspots’ positions drift slowly. According to these scientists, this drifting is what produced amodel of a stable reference frame, which in turn let them draw conclusions about true polar wander.
They say their model does a good job of matching observations of real hotspot tracks on Earth – the path drawn by each hotspot’s island chain – which gives them confidence their results about true polar wander are accurate.
The Hawaiian islands are believed to have formed over a hotspot – a particularly hot place in Earth’s underlying mantle. Scientists expanded on previous thinking about hotspots to suggest that Earth’s solid surface is drifting, minutely, with respect to our planet’s rotation axis.
Bottom line: German and Norwegian scientists have incorporated hotspots in Earth’s mantle into a computer model being used to study true polar wander. They say their work established a stable reference frame for this study that lets them conclude Earth is undergoing true polar wander today.
