Here it is, the Christmas season, and though it is a time of family gathering and festivity everywhere, there is a solemnity that many are feeling… like a calm before a huge storm.  Something is about to happen that will shake our world and test our faith.  I believe that what’s coming will either result in a ‘falling away’ or a ‘getting closer’ to God in the next few months.

2012 is a year unparalleled in the amount of speculation about some soon-coming calamity.  Books have been written, movies made and a great deal of talk shows produced in efforts to get a glimpse into the projected events of 2012.  Will the world end?  Will some cataclysmic event destroy our planet?  Will millions perish of some world-wide pandemic?  Will volcanoes, earthquakes and other natural disasters rearrange our world’s landscape?

What can we know for sure about this highly anticipated apocalyptic year? 

Some people go to psychics, some go to the scientific community, some to the writings of ancient civilizations to determine what will happen to our world in 2012.  As for me, I go to the Word of God, the Bible – that ancient text authored by God himself through his holy people.  Then I go to the Lord in prayer and listen for His voice.  That’s the voice we can trust and the Bible the final authority.  The Lord said “my sheep hear my voice,” and I know that to be true.

As a watchman of the Lord, he has given me several specific words for 2012.  The first and most outstanding  word is “CONFUSION.”  2012 will be a year of confusion beyond anything we have ever experienced before in our nation and in our world, not just confusion, but mass confusion.

Yet, the Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 14:33 that “God is not the author of confusion…”  The Church, that Body of Believers that are born again and listening to His voice, should NOT be confused!  If God is not the author of confusion, that means it’s coming from satan.  The spirit of the anti-christ is disorder.

It’s almost ironic that 12 is the Biblical number for perfect order, just exactly the opposite of confusion.  God needs His Church to be in full force and in divine order so that we can be winning souls in the midst of a confused world.  The Church will be the new ‘ark’ in the confusing days ahead.  This could be the last full year we have to get our house in order and to get prepared for what’s coming!

In 2012, confusion is going to manifest in uncertainties, misunderstandings, good being spoken of as evil, disorder and turmoil of every kind.   If ever there was a time to “know what we know,” it’s now.  It’s time to get in the Word, because deception is coming!  The Word of God is truth and it leaves no room for bewilderment or perplexity.  It will dispel any darkness with its Light!

The Lord told me that first, there would be a great earthquake in Japan, and then total collapse of the world’s economy.  I can’t tell you the day, I can’t tell you the month or the week, but I can tell you that an economic collapse is imminent. 

Get your house ready and get your Church ready to be that ark of safety as the confusion swirls all around.  Be fully persuaded in your heart and in your mind that you will be steadfast and sure because the Word of God lives within you, and you know His voice.  This is going to be a year of soul winning because those who know God’s voice will have wisdom to guide them and love to sustain them.  They will not be confused – but instead, they will be steadfast and sure.  Jesus is coming soon and we are looking for Him!

God loves YOU, He really does!

The signs of the end times are all around us.

The recent earthquake in Japan is presenting an abundance of end-time catastrophes that will ripple through the entire world.  Our country is certain to be impacted by the economic crises these events have triggered.  Already they are closing auto manufacturing plants that are dependent on Japanese supply chains which have broken down.  I believe this earthquake in Japan is going to trigger an economic meltdown worldwide.

A dear friend and prophet, Bob Hartley, brought a message recently about five supernatural waves that will impact our nation, and the first of these is an economic wave.  That wave is about to overtake us!  We must be prepared!

In 1998, my book “PROSPERITY and the COMING APOCALYPSE” was published.  Even as I was in the process of writing the book, I felt like the Lord was saying that although it was noteworthy information for the year 1998, it would be much more received in a future time, a time when people everywhere were seeking answers for the turmoil in our world.  I believe that time is now.  This is not just a book of prophecy, it is a book of survival.  It is available in our online store or by calling 1(888)988-1588.

“PROSPERITY and the COMING APOCALYPSE” addresses such issues as:

• Why I believe a coming world economic collapse will lead to terrorism and possibly war.
• How recent weather patterns, violent tornadoes, and earthquakes are just the beginning of a world out of control.
• When and why meteors will hit the earth, causing massive, unprecedented destruction.
• What Christians ought to be spending their time, energy, and resources doing in these “last days”.
• How to have hope in the face of difficult times and survive the coming apocalypse.

In the days ahead, you may be stripped of everything you have ever held dear.  You may lose your money, your home, your material possessions, your career, your spouse or other family members.  Please do not be dismayed.  I have been through the stripping and I can tell you that the Savior will never leave you nor forsake you, no matter how dark or difficult the days ahead.

God will take care of us through the coming apocalypse and beyond!  And we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever!

Love,

Jim

Revelation events are happening one right after another such as wars, earthquakes and tsunamis around the world. The world has looked on as Japan has experienced what newscasters call a biblical event of epic proportion.

Every day, we are rapidly moving deeper into the Revelation Days, the days the Bible refers to as the Last Days. Paul declares in 2 Timothy Chapter 3:1-4 “This know also, that in the Last Days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” I know you have to agree with me that everything Paul says here is happening right now!

As you know, I have spent years studying the book of Revelation and its relationship to every book in the Bible and to the days we are living in right now! For the last few years, I have been emphasizing the fact that we are living in the days of the Four Horseman of Revelation Chapter six! I have no doubt that all four horses are riding right now!

The first horse is the spirit of anti-Christ which includes all the things mentioned above from 2 Timothy Chapter three and that spirit also includes the warfare of this television and computer age, which is a war of words. Today, evil men are speaking evil things against God and even banning God’s Ten Commandments and the Bible and prayer. The White Horse is riding!

The second horse, the Red Horse is also no doubt riding full force today! This horse is sent to take peace and prosperity from the earth causing slaughter and violence, terrorism and fear and even great warfare and bombing! This is demonic warfare! You must remember that you overcome this kind of warfare only by the power of the Lamb Jesus Christ! Again, you must agree the Red Horse is riding now!

Let’s look at horse number three, the Black Horse of lack of food, inflation or as the Bible calls it, famine! World health says eleven million children die each year due to starvation! We are on the brink of a world out of food and the church is spending most of their sermons on how to get rich and someday the money everyone worked so hard for will be worthless paper. Soon, according to horseman number three, it will cost a day’s wages to buy a loaf of wheat bread. The Black Horse is riding and he is about to go into a full gallop!

 There is only one horse left and let’s see if he is riding. The King James Bible calls him “The Pale Horse” but in the Greek, he is a greenish pale color or the color of death and sickness. The Bible goes on to say that death (plague and pestilence) follow him and they bring death and diseases to a fourth of the earth’s population through animals! Most all our plagues come from animals and cause such diseases such as Aids, Bubonic plague, Ebola Sars, Swine and Bird flu. Well, it looks like all the horses are riding!

So, then what is coming next? If the four horses are already riding, what comes next according to the Book of Revelation? We see Jesus comforting those who have been martyred and telling them it would be just a little while and all those who are on earth and love him will be together soon.

Revelation 6:12 is the next big event! John sees Jesus and tells us “Then I watched while the Lamb opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black like rough black cloth, and the whole moon became red like blood.”

Over the next days on our program, I will be going over, in detail, what this next Revelation event is all about. I have never heard any minister talk about or even read the scriptures about the sun going dark in the Last Days, even though there is more than 16 scriptures saying the sun and the moon will be darkened before the “Day of the Lord.” Even the scriptures that tells us about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the Last Days warns us of this event. Look at Acts 2:17-20 “God says: In the Last Days I will pour out my Spirit on all kinds of people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. At that time I will pour out my Spirit also on my servants and handmaidens, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the sky and on the earth: blood, fire, and thick smoke. The sun will become dark, the moon red as blood, before the overwhelming and glorious day of the Lord will come.”

In Matthew 24, Jesus says that the sun and the moon will be darkened and then all will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven! I believe that the 16 times the Bible says that the Sun and Moon will be darkened, it is caused by volcanoes, asteroids and earthquakes. The BBC says that Yellowstone Park is sitting on top of a Supervolcano and that when it blows, there would be no life left within 600 miles, except those people who have prepared a place underneath the ground. Life on earth as we know it would no longer exist. When the Supervolcano blows, it will cause an immediate nuclear winter of dirt and ash in the air over the entire world for two years and no crops would be able to grow. Right now, the Denver Post says that scientists have warned that Yellowstone National Parks Lake is bulging up 100 feet from the lake floor and could explode at any time. Some of the park’s trails are so hot they are no longer open to the public.

The University of Utah recently discovered a magma body 20 percent larger than previously believed under Yellowstone, so a future cataclysmic eruption could even be larger than thought! The BBC says “Yellowstone has gone off roughly once every 600,000 years. Its last eruption was 640,000 years ago, Professor Bill McGuire, professor of geohazards at the University College London says, making another eruption imminent in geological time. Perhaps this is what Revelation 6:15 means when it says: “And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains.”

 No matter what happens, it is time to be prepared, time to store food, time to have our hearts right with God and be ready for Heaven, and to minister in the Last Days and be able to help others!

Love,

Jim
