Did God create the world with a built-in timer?


Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure. –Isaiah 46:9, 10.
As usual, this writing focus is geared toward the end times, and preparing the sleeping church for the dark days that are fast coming upon us: it is an encroaching storm, and we will find no direction around it, or cover from it. This is prophetic fulfillment, and it is certain.
For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. –Luke 21:22.
Just as a reminder, let’s go over the nature of some of these “storm clouds” threatening us. There is an incredible array of circumstances unlike what mankind has seen before. And yet even so, the devil has devised a world for us in which we are constantly busy, and so self-involved that we are largely unaware that anything is amiss: we live as if the world will continue on forever.
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. –Luke 17:26-30.
Here are the tensions building up toward World War III:
1) Civil war here in America. The level of rebellion against our president is really off the charts. It goes way past ordinary disagreements, and it can be found not only in government, but all throughout our society: we are ripe for takeover.
2) World War III is sure. I have already mentioned this in previous blogs, that this war has been planned as a final step to world government. The Bible also forecasts it in the book of Revelation, 9:13-19. Along with world government, the antichrist will come to power.
3) Conditions in Israel, with key anniversaries. At some point in April is the end of a Jubile year in Israel. May 14th is their 70th anniversary as a nation. The U.S. has officially recognized Jerusalem as the Israeli capitol. We are in the 100th year since the end of World War I. Each of these could play out in a variety of ways and represent an excuse for global conflict.
4) Pope Francis declares “No Hell.” This declaration represents a key preparation for a unified world religion. Billy Graham had done his part, spending some 60 years bringing the Protestant Church back to the feet of Rome, and now the Pope removes “Hell,” paving the way for unity with all other faiths- even pure atheism!

5) War with North Korea. On March 12th, North Korea seemed to capitulate to U.S. demands, and asked for further negations- President Trump agreed. Believe me, this thing isn’t over! Nothing has been resolved; North Korea has a 25 year history of breaking arms agreements, and they are even building a monument for their nuclear weapons achievement!

6) Multiple Russian conflicts. The latest was the alleged spy poisoning, but we are also in conflict against them in Syria, and we have put our missiles in bordering NATO countries.

7) Chinese military build-ups. The Chinese support North Korea in every way, they have built multiple bases in the South China Sea, and they continue to threaten our ally Taiwan. Both China and Russia have plans to invade the United States.

8) Iran supports Syria, bans the dollar. The conflict in Syria finds the Iranian military very active in that country, as well as among terrorist groups fighting Israel. In addition to that, our money is no longer allowed for any international trade.

9) Chinese Yuan currency offered to replace dollar. If anything was a sure sign of war to come, this is it! The American dollar is the world’s reserve currency, but is based on oil: China is using gold as their commodity. More and more countries will abandon the dollar, and our insane national debt of $21 trillion will finally drown us; but we’re going to go down fighting.

In spite of all these brewing problems, some may yet optimistically hope that they will all “blow over.” After all, we’ve faced many potential conflicts in years past, and nothing really came of them. Why should this time be any different? In my mind, such thinking would not be reasonable: it would reflect a lack of faith in the Bible, perhaps laziness, and perhaps a self-centeredness that just won’t take action for anything not promising pleasure. Nevertheless it is true that we’ve all been subjected to false alarms, and have grown a bit desensitized. This time is different. I believe God has put a “timer” on the life of the earth as it is now: even if we managed to escape some of these immediate problems, the time allotted is almost over.

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. –Revelation 10:5-7. Bold type was added to emphasize.

the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. –Revelation 12:12B. How does the devil realize that his time is limited?

As Christians, we recognize the reality of the Flood of Noah, from Genesis chapters 6-8. Frankly, the world screams with evidence of the Flood, such as through the fossil record, and the vast deposits of oil and coal. This was a cataclysm which is beyond our scope of understanding. The primary source of water for this event came from inside of the Earth, referred to as “the fountains of the great deep” in Genesis 7:11. But what made these fountains break forth to the surface? Sure, God could have thought it, or spoken a command, but He does also use His creation for divine purposes. Besides this, if there is a process in place by which the world will be flooded, then men can see it in advance, and have time to REPENT: Noah was called a “preacher of righteousness” in II Peter 2:5, and this over the period of about 100 years. No written records remain from the pre-flood world: God’s testimony of this period was given to Moses a long time afterward. Through Bible lineage, we can determine the Flood took place about 4,350 years ago. I have come to believe that the same catastrophe responsible for the Flood will soon overtake us again. This catastrophe is a planet named NIBIRU.

It was probably some 7 years ago that I began studying the “crazy notion” that another planet (beyond the nine typically reported) occasionally made a near pass to the Earth, causing great upheaval. I was also taken by comparing the potential effects of such an event with the plagues found in the book of Revelation: it was easy to see that at least some of these plagues could be brought by the near passing of a large planet. It may seem to many like a science fiction movie from Hollywood, but I now believe it is true. Even many atheists blame a comet for the extinction of the dinosaurs, so there is obviously science to support the theory. And the Earth doesn’t need to be struck in order for the damage to be done. You will have to pray and research this topic for yourself, but I can direct you to Nibiru Countdown 2018 on www.youtube.com for some good information. One note I saw shows that Nibiru is inbound toward Earth, and will pass the orbit of Jupiter by April 28th. Projected arrival times vary between 3-7 years, but many planets already are showing the effects. Over the years, trying to time the arrival of this problem planet has much room for error; you might expect this from an event that only occurs every few thousand years! But there is now a growing consensus, even amongst world leaders. When looking up information on Nibiru, I advise you not to get very caught up in supposed pictures of it, or sightings; there is much room for error here, though some photos may be legit.

While flooding will be a big problem with Nibiru, a global deluge will not occur again, as per the promise of God. Yet it is the time limit of this event which hinders Satan, and makes him to accelerate efforts toward World War III and global domination. But still, a question that should press upon us is whether or not the Bible ever hints at this event. I will show you what I’ve found, scripturally. But you know that I have been warning of preparing for World War III, and the Lord has shown me that this Nibiru event is yet more evidence that the war is close. Please remember that the pre-tribulation rapture is a false, private interpretation of prophecy, and that the rapture and 2nd coming happen on the same day at the end of this tribulation period.

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. –Matthew 24:29-31 (underlining is mine).

The sun and moon being darkened will happen with the Nibiru event: the stars falling from heaven is indicative of meteors that will naturally accompany the large planet. It is also thought that Nibiru is in tow of a companion star to our sun, one visibly dark in nature:this would further complicate things. But next in the passage, you find first a referral to “the sign” of the Son of man coming distinctly before the Son of man directly: then will come the rapture. I believe the “the sign” of the Son of man is Nibiru, finally fully appearing. I speculate that it will be due to the problems arising from this planet, and the antichrist’s inability to prevent them, that will finally cause 10 nations to rebel against him.

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. –Luke 21:25-28 (underlining is mine).

Men’s hearts will fail them out of fear, from looking to those things “coming upon” the Earth? This is because the powers of the heaven will be shaken? And when this is happening, God is telling His people to look up (for encouragement), for their redemption (in the rapture) is near. Nibiru will certainly be shaking the power of the heavens!

And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. –Revelation 8:10, 11.

Many believe that the prophesied star Wormwood is either the planet Nibiru, or the star that accompanies it, named Nemesis. In fact, in 1979 an observatory was built in Australia, and named Wormwood! It is believed that this planet or star has been approaching from beneath the ecliptic plane of the solar system, and has only been visible in the southern hemisphere until recently. It seems that world governments have known about this planet for above 40 years, and have been very busy building underground facilities to survive in. Astronomers have estimated that almost 80% of stars have a companion star.

What I am trying to say is that there is tremendous upheaval headed for our planet in the very near future: some is man-made, some is God-made, but He is in charge! God will not forsake those that seek Him (Psalm 9:10): and He has already given us Jesus Christ His Son to pay for our sins, that we might be with Him for all eternity. Brethren, let us stop living for the here and now alone, and look toward our spiritual future. God does love us, but He’s calling an end to life on this earth as we have known it. Let’s straighten up our priorities!

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels. –Luke 9:23-26.
