For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing .

Subject: Super Signs of the End Times
Hi Everybody,
I am sure that we will all agree that the sign that marks the beginning of the "End Times" was the rebirth of Israel in 1948. Since then there has been many general signs, such as floods, fires, storms, earthquakes, increased volcanic activity, animal die-offs, a falling away of believers, religious persecution, increased immorality, advances in technology, and a push toward a global government to name a few. There are many others as well that we can label as "general" in nature.
However, now that we are in the last of the "last days" we are seeing a series of super signs that seem to be telling us that the rapture is only days (or weeks) away. The following are some of these super signs which I have noted. They are not listed in any particular order.
1. Next week the Palestinians will be calling for the UN to take a formal position on Palestinian statehood, thus dividing and stealing land from Israel. When, not if, this happens the prophecy that Israel will stand alone in the world at the end will be fulfilled.
2. The mazzaroth alignment in the constellation Virgo is taking place exactly as described in Revelation 12. This is an extremely rare alignment.
3. The comet Elenin is entering Virgo and will come into alignment as the crown of Virgo on Rosh Hashanah. Elenin has also, apparently, disintegrated. This means that it will deliver its message to mankind just once instead of orbiting the sun and repeatedly delivering it's message.
4. Jewish traditions regarding Rosh Hashanah involve the blowing of trumpets (as in the final trumpet) and very closely parallels Biblical traditions of the groom returning to claim his bride. The 3 main Jewish themes of Rosh Hashanah are the resurection of the righteous, the Kingship of the Lord, and the marriage of the King. Jesus told us in 4 places in Matthew that He would return at a time when nobody would know the day or the hour and Rosh Hashanah is known as the feast where nobody knows the day or the hour. Rosh Hashanah is also traditionally known as the day of the great shout, the hidden day, the day of the awakening blast, the day of trumpets, the day of the opening of books, and Ha Kiddushin/Nesuin - the Wedding of the Massiah.
5. Rosh Hashanah, and the alignment of everything in Virgo occurs on September 29th. In scripture, the number 29 stands for "departure," "expectation," and "judgment."
6. There are 3 sets of tetrads of blood moons that mark out a 7 year period, starting around the first part of October of 2011 and ending in 2018 that clearly could be marking out the 7 year tribulation period. There is also a set of tetrad blood moons at the 3 1/2 year midpoint that could be clearly be pointing to the abomination of desolation. These blood moons fall on Jewish feast days, notably Passover and Tabernacles. There will not be any more tetrads of blood moons after this on Jewish feast days for over 500 years.
7. President Obama will be in the underground command center located at, or near, the Denver Airport on Sept 27th for an exercise known as Cocked Pistol. We know about this because we have to tell the Soviets anytime we have an exercise where we go to DEFCON 1, so as not to start a war.
8. The alignment of the stars, planets, sun, and moon in the constellation Virgo also occurred in the year that Jesus was conceived (9 months from His birth) with the exception of Jupiter being in conjunction with Venus instead of Saturn. At that time Rome ruled the world and Jupiter represented the supreme god of the Roman Pantheon.
9. On the day that Jesus was crucified there was a total lunar eclipse that caused a blood moon. It began at 3 PM, which is the 9th hour, and is the time that the Bible tells us Jesus died. This blood moon was at the feet of Virgo. The moon is at the feet of Virgo once every 18 years. To be a full moon is rare, and to be a blood moon at the feet of Virgo and to be full is extremely rare. Obviously God is using this as a sign and it is was not a random coincidence then, and it is not a random coincidence now.
10. The population of the earth will reach 7 billion during 2011. I do not know exactly when. In scripture, 7 is the number of completion.
11. The timing of the fig tree in the Olivet Discourse puts the rapture in 2011, assuming 70 years for the length of a generation.
12. The Durban III Conference will be in September. In Durban I and Durban II, Israel was declared to be "racist" and was blamed for all of the troubles in the Middle East. There is no reason to believe this conference will be any different. Israel is officially being declared to be the bad guy by the whole world, further fulfilling the prophecy that Israel will be friendless in the end.
13. Aliyah, the emigration of Jews back to Israel, has slowed to practically zero growth. This indicates to me that the number of Jews that God determined must return before He shifts His attention from the Gentiles to the Jews has been reached. Therefore, we are now ready for the rapture.
14. Don't Ask, Don't Tell ceases to be policy on September 20th. If there is one thing God hates, it is homosexuality. Just look what He did to Sodom and Gomorrah. Under Mosaic law it was a capital offense. In September when our Children in California go back to school it will be mandatory for them to be instructed in how wonderful the LGBT lifestyle is. The ACLU is filing legal action against schools that block homosexual web sites. There have even been conferences recently of people working to legitimize sexual acts with children as being natural and acceptable, and reclassifying sexual predators of children as victims. Just how low can we sink? New York just legalized gay marriage and the majority of Americans, according to a recent poll, are in favor of legalization.
15. Our technology is on the very verge of achieving singularity. In case you are not familiar, singularity will be achieved when we create a computer than can actually think for itself - when it becomes aware of it's own existence - when we create life. I cannot believe that God will ever allow us to do this.
16. According to MUFON, UFO sightings have increased 67%. I cannot help but think that UFO's will play some kind of a roll in end times events, although I do not know what that roll will be. The modern age of UFO sightings and our government's fanatical determination to cover up whatever it knows about them began in 1947, less than a year before Israel became a nation again, when 2 UFO's collided near Roswell, NM. More than 64 years later it is still so highly classified that our government will not admit that it even happened. UFO sightings occur at more than 6 per hour, worldwide.
17. When Harold Camping predicted the rapture the entire world took note. In fact, it more than just took note. The main stream media was obsessed with Camping. Everybody knew he was a flake. However, now that all of the super signs are pointing at an imminent rapture we don't hear even the most minute whimper from the media. I don't know about you, but I find this very significant. Last time it was a farce. This time it is for real.
18. The degree of anti-Christian vehemence in the world today is staggering. Al Qaeda recently declared all Christians in the Middle East to be "legitimate targets." Egyptian mobs are killing Christians and burning churches to the point where the only available options are to convert to Islam, leave the country, or die. The same is true for many of the nations in Africa.
19. Speaking of Africa, I know I lumped famine in with the general signs back at the beginning of this letter, but the humanitarian crisis affecting 12 million human beings, is the worst humanitarian crisis in all of history. This just has to be a major super sign on the end times, and of how few days are remaining in the last days.
20. I am sure we have all read Bill Keonig's book where he makes a one-to-one correlation of each times we have violated God's command to bless and help Israel to a natural disaster that has struck out nation. I cannot help but wonder how many more spankings we will have to endure before we admit that we have been a bad boy when it comes to our relations with God's chosen people and His promised land.
21. Am I the only person in the entire world who thinks that lightning striking the White House on the evening of Easter Sunday, especially after the way Obama snubbed God on Easter, was a sign from God? It was scarcely even mentioned by the mainstream media.
22. The economies of the entire world is just one big Ponzi scheme that are being propped up by an entire planet of bankrupt nations. How much longer can it last before it collapses like the proverbial house of cards?
OK, so what have I missed in the way of super signs? This is all I can think of at the moment, but I am sure there are more. Can anybody else suggest something I have forgot?
I guess I should add that I have one last sign in the back of my mind that something big is about to happen. It's the feeling I have in my gut. The last time I had a feeling like this in my gut, something really big did happen. It was when my wife tried her new recipe for a 3 bean casserole. Talk about something big happening. Whew. Them flutter blasts are a killer.
Sorry about that, but when dealing with the "end of the world," it is important to maintain a sense of humor. Just look at the joke we have in the White House.
Well, here we have the signs as I see them. We are told to watch for the signs and I find it difficult to image signs that could be any more significant than what we have now. If something doesn't happen by the first part of October I am going to be sorely disappointed.
Let me know what you all think.

When T/Sue told us where to go for our 5 doves "fix"
I just bookmarked this particular post from over there..... it is VERY, VERY good!! And I'd venture to say most of us agree with it!
OH!! And good gravy -- some how I just flat did not recall or remember about his #21 ~ lightning striking the WH on Easter!! Wow!!
istheregolfinheaven,
You're absolutely correct on that, we see the day approaching, and it could very well be the biggest sign of all.
Exciting to think, we'll soon be home with Jesus!
Oh how I pray and hope this is the year of our departure, which could possibly be just days away now.
See you soon at that great meeting in the air!
Blessings in Christ,
Valerie
O how I pray that I have had my last chiropractor adjustment.It was PAINFUL today.....he uses an adjuster/not the hands thing.
O how I pray that we are DAYS now from the Rapture.I feel something within me.Plus,this whole thing with Elenin and the alignments that it has been doing.
O COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS!!!
There are so many signs!!! I mean, if nothing at all happens this fall...what would be the point of watching for signs anymore? If these signs aren't pointing to something BIG, then what signs would?
I'm hoping and praying that this is it!!!
