One Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all!!!!
With regards to the End Times, the Great Tribulation or Great Consummation The Day of the Lord chart is one of the most significant charts Christendom has ever seen. This chart proves when the events related to the Great Consummation or the mistaken Great Tribulation doctrine will actually take place and what distinguishes the Separation portion of the Great Consummation from the Wrath of God portion of Christ’s second half of the Covenant; distinguishing when Jesus will return for the Body of Christ verses when Jesus will return with the Body of Christ.
These elements are only a few of the End Times components the Body of Christ and secular world will endure and need to negotiate.
Learn “The Day of the Lord” chart. It is important!
God bless and have a great and prosperous Christmas. {Smile}
Days of pastel blues and lusterless reds could fill the inevasible blind pages to come. I have seen the splendor of my own antecedence, or rather the privation there of. Once bound in a twirl of youthful folly now I marvel, can they not see? I think they too, as I once, choose drunkenly, willfully to be ensnared by the false comfort of never‑ending youth; the pervasive, there will be time.
If you’re enjoying the post, “This Side of the Whirlwind” then its time to share your good fortune with everybody the world over.
Don’t keep it to yourself, think of all those friends and family members who could use this valuable information and encouragement. The Latter Days are fast approaching and we need to prepare and get the word to everyone we love, like; okay, and even those we get along with so well:)
Enjoy the posts. Lord willing, I’ll catch you next time while we are still on This Side of the Whirlwind.
Just what to say, “Celebrate your independence through Jesus Christ.” We are so fortunate to be free from sin. As in, sin is abolished, done away with and gone forever for those who are saved through the blood of the Lamb. Thank you Jesus!
The Mark, a biologically embeddable implant containing near-field communication technologies (NFC)(1), will provide a variety of personal functions, including but not limited to mobile banking, individual identification, GPS tracking, and access to all personal financial and medical information. Though the Mark may openly offer consumers a variety of worthwhile applications, its primary function will be to covertly provide governments with a severe level of control over all individuals and their finances. Those who do not possess the Mark will be ruthlessly limited in their ability to manage finances of any kind. When governments the world over convert from cash to cashless financial systems, retailers, wholesalers, department stores, chain food outlets, and warehouses of all shapes and sizes will be forced to accept the Mark of the Beast and only the Mark for all transactions. Businesses will require every employee to possess the Mark so they may meet government requisites, such as taxation and payroll. Employers will require employees to possess the Mark so they can be payroll compliant, managing taxation and the matching payments for Social Security and other types of insurance or installments. All banking will require customers to have the new technology for bank accounts and processing of all checks and credit and debit cards. A person will not be able to purchase anything, including a mortgage or food/health products without the new technology, the Mark.
Before any child may attend school, public or private, obtain health or life insurance, become eligible for any type of government program or services, the child will be compelled to receive the technology for the Mark. In effect, every citizen, young or old, rich or poor, healthy or infirm, everyone will be compelled to obtain the Mark of the Beast, regardless of religion or personal conviction. In this way, governments will be able to gain a unique and powerful control over every citizen in every country. These are the reasons conscience and religious-based objections were overwritten and removed from the laws of the land. Politicians and government leaders were pawns in Satan’s schemes, pulling their strings in order to change pertinent legislation.
The advent of the Internet made the Mark of the Beast possible. The World Wide Web facilitates global electronic integration, enabling the Mark to instantaneously update each bank or financial institution with every purchase. For many years, Internet technologies and software packages capable of maintaining international banking integrity did not exist; however, over the past few decades such technologies have been under rapid construction. Powerful technologies had to be developed before the Mark of the Beast could be successfully implemented on a global scale. Communications and financial technologies, such as smartphones, tablets, smart-wallets, and chipped credit/debit cards for banking and lending institutions require instantaneous connections with secure servers and processing systems. A technology such as the Mark of the Beast will require global financial systems to be capable of implementing a continuous and safe level of transmissions while manipulating trillions of bits of secured real-time data. Today’s international banking is only possible because of processing technologies and software capable of handling the current and potentially future levels of global finance. In 2015, one such software package has been integrated into financial systems throughout the world and recently added to the United States of America’s technologies. The program is called the EMV (EuroPay, MasterCard, and Visa) payment system.(2)
As governments begin developing and executing updated versions of the new cashless financial construct, hundreds of millions of citizens, Christian and non-Christian alike, will scramble to possess the newest and most popular versions of the latest wetware-technologies.(3) Aside from the varied and newly compatible wetware technologies currently on the market, the Mark will be instituted and distributed at the earliest possible moment. Better services mean better biotech and a more efficient and interesting product line for the modern consumer. Today’s wetware contains ubiquitous computing(4) capabilities, which are designed to process personal finances anywhere and with any system. The EMV payment system operates in conjunction with NFC-compatible products functioning throughout the world with companies striving to compete over the global marketplace while integrating their technologies as quickly and efficiently as possible. The integration for the EMV payment system took effect in the United States on October 1, 2015. Any business, corporation, or service within the United States that wants to use the chipped or chip and PIN credit/debit cards must also be in compliance with all EMV standards no later than October 1, 2015. All latecomers are subject to a shifting of liabilities from the payment card companies to the privately owned business entity. Use of the new chipped cards is expected to bolster business for all mom-and-pop stores throughout the world. Unfortunately any vendors or merchants processing fraudulent chipped credit/debit cards without confirming card authenticity through an EMV scanning system will likely find themselves financially responsible for any type of fraud or misuse perpetrated. Though merchants are (supposedly) not required to purchase the new EMV payment system or scanners, failure to do so will likely be financially detrimental to any business.
As businesses embrace the new EMV payment systems or similar types of processing technologies, the global marketplace draws one step closer to implementing the Mark of the Beast. To the man and woman on the street, bio-implants with NFC capabilities will likely just appear as another option for consumers. To the global markets, including every mom-and-pop convenience store, the nearly obligatory technologies will simply represent the cost of doing business. It is doubtful the average consumer will recognize the Mark of the Beast even as it is implanted under his or her skin. The Body of Christ, however, is responsible for identifying the Beast’s deceptions and alerting the saints to all their dangers.
Be advised, Satan’s purpose for the Mark of the Beast is to remove the seal of salvation from every Christian before the Body of Christ can be thoroughly warned. Fortunately, God designed the Mark for a very different purpose: to separate true Christians from pseudo-Christians in preparation for the Second Coming of Christ. Only the faithful believer will join the Lord in the skies. Anyone who receives the Mark of the Beast will be left on earth to suffer the wrath of the Lamb! Many of these will be former Christians who foolishly took the Mark or bowed down and worshiped the Beast or his image.(5) It is important to remember this saving principle: the believer who endures to the end, refusing to bow before the Beast, receive his mark, or acknowledge his image will remain saved!(6) I say, “Better safe than sorry!”
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death” (Revelation 12:11 NKJV).
“He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels” (Revelation 3:5 NKJV).

It’s my Birthday and I love Friday the 13th. Oooooooh! Scary:)
Fifty-eight years ago a seer prophesied a son would be born twelve months later. One year later I was born – Wednesday the 13th. Hum… Doesn’t have that same level of spookiness does it? Oh well, Ooooh, I was born on Wednesday the 13th!
Hey doesn’t that ominous bordering on Evilness of Friday the 13th mean Saturday the 14th should be even scarier? Why not? It is just as rare as Friday the 13th, right? You can’t have Friday the 13th without Saturday the 14th. This may require some thought. Makes you wanna go – Hum?
Okay then, (oooooh!) because I was born on Friday the 13th (not really it was a Wednesday, but play along for the spookiness of it all) the world must obey my every command on the 13th of Friday (oooooh!) and only Friday the 13th (oooooh!). I command you, everyone the world over (oooooh!) to purchase my book (oooooh!) “This Side of the Whirlwind” (oooooh!) E-book version $5.00 or Soft-cover text-book style $38.95 (look for better deals on http://www.Amazon.com or http://www.BarnesandNobles.com (oooooh!) but don’t tell anyone else)!
Because I am LORD of the 13th of Friday! Wow, kind of scared myself!
That’s what you get for eating pickled Barn-Owl eggs and Mustard-Gas on Thursday the 12th of May (oooooh!). Because you can’t have Friday the 13th without (cue the spooky music) Thursday the 12th — ooooooooooooooh!
Go and buy the boooook, This Side of the Whirrrrrlwinnnnd. Go buy the book…
Silly – I know, but it is my Birthday and I can be silly (even at 57 years OLD) even if my wife covers her eyes while I’m ridiculous. Smile-it’s my Friday the 13th B-day:)
We met on the way to Kindergarten, our first day of school, September ’64, becoming fast friends. Just a few days later Mike’s family moved two houses down and across the street from our family home. Oh happy days! Over the next twelve years Mike and I would hang-out more often than not and regularly have lunch or dinner with his family or mine. We came to know each other’s families nearly as well as our own. We became the best of friends. We were like family. We are family.
During the summer of 1974 we were fourteen and still best of friends. Mike and I were kicking-it (chillaxing as you might say today) in Mike’s room when I received another Word of Knowledge (information from God). I was a bit surprised by the content and still too young and dumb to exercise proper discretion. So I did what most fourteen year olds would do, I didn’t bother to think first and just blurted out the information without considering how it might impact Mike or his family.
I said, “Hey Mike, guess what I just heard?”
“What!” I remember He was in a really bad mood that day.
Foolishly I continued, “I just heard in my “knower” that your mom and dad are not your real mom and dad.”
Mike responded, “What are you talking about?”
I replied, “Well, you know how I sometimes get information in what I call my “knower”?
He said, “Yeah.”
I chuckled at the time thinking myself cool because I had shocking information to share, “Well, I just heard (though it actually came as more of a concept) that your mom and dad are not your real parents. Your real mom is somewhere in Virginia and there is something really crazy about that situation and your real dad is just out there. I don’t know where he is? He is just out there.”
Mike took the information fairly well, he ran off for two weeks without telling anyone. Well, I guess he could have handled it better. At the end of his misadventure, when Mike finally returned home, he asked me to go with him to confront his parents. Once home, His parents confronted him and of course demanded to know why he had run away. He then blurted out, “You’re not my real mom and dad! My real mom is in Virginia and I don’t know where my real dad is, but you’re not him.”
Shocked, Mike’s parents asked him where he had acquired this information, to which he replied, “Steve told me. He knows things.” I was not welcome for a while.
(The Photo is from 1976 with Mike on the left. Dig those groovy threads. Wild man!)
Long story short, the father Michael grew-up with was in fact his uncle, his father’s brother. The woman he called mom was not of a blood-relation but did love and raise him to the best of her ability. His biological mother was indeed in a mental institution in West Virginia since shortly after his birth and his bio-dad was nowhere to be found until years later. As Mike’s bio-mom had no other family, Mike’s uncle and subsequent adopted parents claimed him as an infant once they were married. I’m sure they did the best they could.
Though I cannot say why God provided this type of information, it was not the only time God imparted sensitive information to me as a youth. During these formative years I blew-it a lot learning to hear God’s voice and to repeat only those things which I had personally seen, heard or understood in a conceptual sense. Obviously I had to learn discretion. I also had to learn not to attempt to interpret. If the Lord did not provide an interpretation then I was not to interpret.
Bear in mind, I was raised in a church which did not believe the saints could hear God’s voice, at this time, or in a literal sense . Rather than accept an adolescent or teenager could be hearing from the Lord, the church’s Pastors and deacons attempted to convince me I was either extremely perceptive or had ESP. ESP was the rave of the day and such was the reason I said the knowledge came from my “Knower” rather than claiming I was hearing from God. Over the years I came to understand God was training me to hear His voice, teaching me to speak only those things specifically uttered and not to add-to or subtract from His message. When I was younger I seemed to hear His voice with much greater volume and clarity. However, as I’ve matured in the things of the Lord His voice has become subtle, requiring greater faith to speak out in His name. Beware; false prophets and false prophecy as these are signs for the Latter Days.
It is not a little thing to say you are hearing God’s voice or to claim God has given you a message for the Latter Days. Nevertheless, this is my claim; rather, my proclamation which I will shout to the entire world. God has sent me with a message and it is called, “This Side of the Whirlwind.” Within its pages is critical information for the survival of the Body of Christ during these last few years. Get the book! Read it, live it, learn it as if your life depends on it, for it does!
More to follow in the coming days and weeks. God has richly spoken and moved in my life and the world will reap the whirlwind if it does not listen. Give glory to God and Him alone!
Don’t keep it to yourself, think of all those friends and family members who could use this valuable information and encouragement. The Latter Days are fast approaching and we need to prepare and get the word to everyone we love, like; okay, and even those we get along with so well:)
