Signs of the times: what of the night?

Eclipse over India and China, Trump becomes a prophet of culture, and many bow the knee, but will they bow to Christ in Submission?

22 June 2019 Eclipse over India and China

The path of the eclipse which turned day to night went from African Congo over the Saudi Middle East to India and China dailymail.co.uk


What is significant is that the sun went dark as night over the area of conflict between India and China. China began the conflict by moving up troops. In context only recently the sky went dark in the middle of the afternoon in Beijing before the CCP congress.

In the Bible the sun is a sign of the political power. The moon of religious power. Both are dark in this eclipse, leaving only a corona. This in the time of the corona virus, that came out of China.

It is quite clear that eclipses are to a great program, and there are many eclipses. Some may argue that they mean nothing at all. It may be argued that the Creator may know well before hand the macro-pattern of events, but knowing that China is not in latter day events and that we approach that day, we may consider the nature of the darkness and the understanding of darkness. The eclipse on the longest day, makes us think of the prophecy in Isaiah… let us consider, due to corona virus many are fleeing to their own land.

Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land. (Isaiah 13:9-14)



21 June 2019 Toppling Statues: Idols falling & Trump as prophet?

We do not support the making of statues, as the scriptures are clear about making images (for any purpose). The command is not to make any image- at all.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: (Exodus 20:4)

Due to the earthquake of the day of Judgement as in Isaiah 13 – and Zechariah 14 all statues must fall in the near future in any case. However the protesters and destroyers may not be delighted to know that just as they despise the statues, so the Creator despises the buildings and social media they think precious, and has already written that he will bring all those down.

For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. (Isaiah 2:12-17)

One statue at least was taken down by no less that God in the past . Benjamin Franklin


Just how far the statue removal is going is shown by the boldness of Jews and Muslims seeking to remove a statue in St Louis.

Amid calls to take down statues of leaders with a history of racism ringing out across the US, Jews and Muslims in St. Louis have launched a petition to take down a monument to their city’s namesake, and even hope to rename the city. St. Louis is named after King Louis IX, the only French King to be canonized by the Catholic Church, who is considered by the church to be a model Christian monarch.

King Louis IX was also a notorious antisemite. He oversaw one of the infamous medieval disputations, in which rabbis were forced to debate with Christians the merits of Judaism, and the subsequent burning of 12,000 copies of the Talmud in 1243. He required Jews to wear badges so they can be easily identified, and he outlawed banking, which led to the expulsion of many Jews from France and the confiscation of their property.

The funds that Louis IX confiscated went towards his two crusades, in 1248 and 1270, to fight Islamic kingdoms for control over the Land of Israel. jpost.com


It is very interesting that the target here is a Catholic, noting that Catholicism has sought to be part of popular culture. And the attack on the heros of Catholicism goes deeper: all those confederate statues.

There is a connection between the Catholic Church and the Confederate struggle that is an inconvenient truth which revisionists have taken great effort write out of history.

While the American Civil War was coming to the boil, another war of unification was raging in Italy. Liberal Republicans were attempting to unite the country, and break up the age-old divisions which had separated the country since the fall of the Roman Empire. Garibaldi and his red-shirt republicans were fighting against the conservative despotism of the institutions of Italy, headquartered in Rome with the Pope and the Catholic Church

The Confederation may have been destroyed long ago, and it statues are taken down today causing an uproar. However, nothing will parallel the uproar when the Great City and its statues are destroyed at Christ’s return: bibletruthandprophecy.com


And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 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. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
(Revelation 18:9-13)

Now this trade – this great trade- that is so highly regarded among men – lest us hear what our Lord said!

“Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.” (Luke 16:15)


So in the rush to remove all reference to slavery- the ignorant fools have exposed the truth of the abomination of the highly esteemed. Yale was a slave trader. Yale so highly regarded! is founded and funded by the trade in the souls of men. As this article points out all those begging for funds find that all money is tarnished by unethical behaviour! There is a huge issue of the pride of man and the things men hold valuable that God regards as abomination. qz.com


Then we have the extraordinary optics of the Democratic party leaders banishing portraits and statues of those of their own political party for their connection to the confederates, some Anti-Semitic and racist KKK. Can any survive destroying artefacts of honour of their own history, while not being able to erase that damning history? What kind of sign is this as to their success in the coming election? The sign we are to note is that they destroying themselves. Nancy Pelosi pushes for pulling down the statues of the very man her Father lauded as a Democrat politician and dedicated as statue to! breitbart.com


In this context of the Democrat Confederate self destruction the Republican (Garibaldi inheritor) Trump is made a prophet, and the Democrats could have no desire to make Trump a prophet!!


Trump warned in 2017 that statues of U.S. Founding Fathers such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson might someday be removed -- three years ahead of attacks on such statues this month.

So this week it's Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson is coming down,” Trump said at an August 2017 news conference on the protests that year in Charlottsville, Va., that sparked from the plans to remove some Confederate statues.

I wonder, is it George Washington next week? And is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You really have to ask yourself, where does it stop?” Trump said.foxnews.com


Tweeted Donald J.Trump

@realDonaldTrump Aug 17, 2017

...can't change history, but you can learn from it. Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson - who's next, Washington, Jefferson? So foolish! Also...


That it wasn't a lucky guess is shown in that Trump was mocked as little as only 4 days before the statues of Washington and Jefferson were felled.breitbart.com

nypost.com, Removal of Thomas Jefferson

nypost.com De blasio to boot Thomas Jefferson from city hall

This cannot be made up. We might ask just now whose side is the papacy in its city state on in this coming election? Seeing as they historically picked the wrong side willing to trade in the souls of men (as the Democrats do, as pointed out in a book to escape the 'Democrat plantation') .. If Trump is a made a prophet… ?


18 June 2020 Bend the knee

All those bendding the knee in submission to – what BLM? Will they be happy to bow in such a way, in submission, to the King of Israel? The man named “Lord is Great” said-

Dominic Raab has said he will only take the knee for two people — the Queen and “the Mrs” when he proposed.

I’ve got to say on this taking the knee thing — which I don’t know, maybe it’s got a broader history but seems to be taken from Game of Thrones — it feels to me like a symbol of subjugation and subordination rather than one of liberation and emancipation. au.news.yahoo.com

Bowing on the knee is indeed a symbol of subjugation:

I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. (Isaiah 45:23-24)

Those incensed against the God of Israel are those bowing for things they know not! To admit they are racists? What a 'take notice sign'!


Lest we think it only in the Old Testament, the Apostle Paul underlines it:

But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. (Romans 14:10-12)
