God is Speaking in Signs

February 27, 2021February 27, 2021 / Charles Cooley / 5 Comments

As I begin this article, I feel like Habakkuk and Isaiah must have felt as they reported what the Lord had shown them and few believed their report. I am not a prophet, or a seer, but I simply report what my eyes have seen. The LORD has been showing us the future in signs in the heavens, on the earth, and among people for some time but, few are those who have taken notice. These signs are like the vision God showed Habakkuk and the report God showed to Isaiah.

“Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, It will not tarry.” – Habakkuk 2:2, 3

“Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?” – Isa. 53:1

In 2010 God began speaking to the earth with mass die-offs: Birds began falling from the sky with no apparent reason; Fish and dolphins began washing up on the shores with no apparent reason; Turtles began dyeing with no apparent reason; Cattle and herds of wild life began dyeing for no apparent reason, and all this began happening all around the world. At first the news was full of these reports but now it has become “old news” and they no longer report it but, they are still happening! There is a marked increase in large earthquakes (above 6.3) and rivers around the earth began turning red.

The prophet Hosea warned what man’s wickedness would bring –

“Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.” – Hosea 4:3

One only has to look at the great increase of volcanoes and great earthquakes around the Ring of Fire, which includes the United States, to see the seriousness of these reports, and the increase can’t just be attributed better reporting. Then there are the signs God is showing in the heavens.

In 2014 and 2015 the heavenly signs began with four Blood Red Moons, happening on the feast days of Passover and Tabernacles. The BRMs (Blood Red Moon tetrad) highlight the immanent coming of the Year of Jubilee and all that it means. They also reveal the importance of the number 8 and its heralding something new coming. This BRM Tetrad was the 8th since the time of Jesus’ first coming. And finally, they emphasize the pattern of Passover and Tabernacles (Sukkot) being the first and last feasts of the seven Lord’s Feasts, thus reminding us of the Lord’s first coming and His second coming.

Then in 2017, the sign given in Revelation 12 was fulfilled.

“Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. “ – Rev. 12:1,2

This heavenly event happened on September 23, 2017 for the first time in 7000 years. The Moon was under Virgo’s feet and she was ‘clothed’ with the Sun. There were the nine stars of Leo and three wandering stars (planets) above her head as a crown of 12 stars. In November of 2016 the planet Jupiter entered the constellation Virgo and went into retrograde. Because of its large orbit compared to earth’s, Jupiter appears to be moving back and forth called retrograde motion. It continues in this retrograde motion until September 23, 2017, a period of 42 weeks minus 1 day, which is a normal human birth cycle, when it leaves Virgo on its trip to the constellation Taurus. Also, for the first time in 7000 years all the planets were in a straight line beneath Virgo.

There is much more that could be said about this sign but, I want to continue with further signs God is showing. The Christmas Star has appeared once again, a second time since the birth of Jesus. One of my Grandsons has an excellent teaching on this event which I will show in the following video.

The Christmas Star is formed by the conjunction of two planets, Saturn and Jupiter and their names mean the Dawning of the Sabbath Rest and Rescue or Deliverance. In other words, they are announcing the soon return of Jesus who will rescue and deliver us from evil and bring rest to us. What evil is Jesus going to deliver us from you may ask?

Well, there is too much to report on here but, perhaps I could draw your attention to the Democrats stealing a presidential election and their false president signing Executive Orders his first day in office that slaughters 100,000’s of babies through abortion around the world as he pays back the liberal left who gave him the election and want to make abortion great again! Or maybe I could draw your attention to the God-haters led by Nancy Pelosi in the House of Representatives who want to take away conservative

Christian rights to believe and teach what the Bible says on moral issues, in other words the 1st. Amendment of our Constitution, as they pass the the Equality Act, which is just a pay-back to the LGBTQ lobby.

Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi speaks as Sen. Cory Booker, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Sen. Jeff Merkley, Rep. David Cicilline, Sen. Tammy Baldwin, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer listen during a news conference ahead of the House vote on the Equality Act on Capitol Hill on Feb. 25, 2021.

These are just a few of the signs God has been giving us and they mostly began in 2010 with mass die-offs, then again in 2014 and 2015 with the Blood Red Moons, then again on 2017 with the Revelations 12 sign of Virgo and the Solar Eclipse, both of which gave a target date of 2024, then finally with the Christmas Star appearing for a second time in December of 2020. God is speaking a warning to men. However, there is one more warning I would want to draw attention to – the nation of Israel.

I remember during World War II that many Christians were just sure that Hitler was the Antichrist and the end was near, but they forgot to take the Jews into account, they were not yet back in their nation! WE must not make that same mistake. God has said He will make Israel an ensign to the nations (like a flag waving). Israel is a nation once again – 1948. They have taken Jerusalem back in 1967. President Trump declared Jerusalem was the capital of Israel in 2017 and moved the United States Embassy there and they declared President Trump a second Cyrus. But, that involves building the Temple again. While there is much zeal for this among religious Jews, most of the country is secular and there appears to be little drive to rebuild the Third Temple, the Temple Mount is yet controlled by Arabs and Jews are not even allowed to pray on the Temple Mount. However, in 2017 two police officers were shot on the Temple Mount by Arab terrorists and the Israeli police immediately took control of the Temple Mount and placed metal detectors at all the Arab entrances to the Mount. This caused the Arab Waaf, who controlled the Mount to issue a boycott of all Arabs to visit the Temple Mount until the metal detectors were removed but, this boycott failed –

“Some Israeli government officials are stating that the Temple Mount status quo, which has been in place since June 17, 1967, has changed:

The Islamic Waqf’s jurisdiction over the Temple Mount is over and Israel will now work to reestablish Jewish sovereignty over the holy site, said Knesset Member Ari Dichter (Likud) on Tuesday.

“Israel is the sovereign on the Temple Mount, period. The fact that the Waqf became a sovereign on the Temple Mount ended last Friday,” declared Dichter, chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee and former head of the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), on Israeli public radio, Israel National News reported.

“The question of our policy [at the Temple Mount] may not be clear to the Palestinians, but it is very clear to us… The Mount will remain under the control of the Israel Police.”

Jewish people are now free to worship and pray on the Temple Mount for the first time since 1948. This seems to be a clear precursor of rebuilding the Temple on the Temple Mount. And it happened in 2017 which seems to be a pivot able year for signs.

God is speaking to us with signs. He is warning us of things to come. The rebuilding of the Third Temple will be signpost that will usher in the Antichrist as the Temple must be there for him to set up his Abomination that makes Desolate, that both Daniel (Dan 11:31) and Jesus (Matt. 24:15) spoke about. And remember that first the Antichrist will make, or confirm, a 7 year covenant with Israel. Is this the seven years that both the Revelation 12 sign of Virgo and the Solar Eclipse of 2017 speak about? Or are they just warnings of it’s soon coming? You must decide but, I urge you to be prepared for the coming Judge and Redeemer.

To Build or not to Build?

After the Jews returned to Israel from Babylon, Haggai had a word from the Lord to the leader Zerubbabel and the High Priest Joshua to rebuild the Temple of the Lord.

“For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.” – Haggai 2:6-9 KJV Continue reading →

Waiting on the Lord

October 20, 2020 / Charles Cooley / 1 Comment

These are ‘days of waiting’; waiting on the election of a president, waiting for the Covid19 pandemic to be over, or in my case – waiting for the snow storm that is predicted to hit this afternoon. But, can you imagine what the Jews must have felt waiting for the promises God had given for a Messiah? Think of the Biblical character Simeon to whom the Holy Spirit had revealed that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. I don’t know how long he waited for that promise but, he was an old man when he finally saw the Child Jesus.

“And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said:

“Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word; For my eyes have seen Your salvation Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel.” – Luke 2:26-32

Did Simeon know that on this day he would see the Christ Child – I doubt it. Rather he was faithful to be in the presence of God, in His Temple, every day, faithfully waiting. He said “My eyes have seen Your salvation” and I wonder if he knew the Child was named Yeshua, which means salvation? Even here we can see that God’s plan was bigger than what the Jews were thinking – Simeon saw that He was to be “A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles.” God’s plan includes all peoples and His call is to all who will hear.

But, many Jews have waited for the promise of God’s Messiah to come over the centuries, knowing He would come, just not when. Few realized He would come twice. Isaiah had seen Him coming as a suffering Servant, despised and rejected by men.

“Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. . . . He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.” – Isa. 53:4-8

When He came the first time, many in Israel did not want to see Him this way. They wanted a Messiah like David of old who would deliver them from wicked Rome. They failed to understand that God is little concerned with earthly kingdoms but with the heavenly kingdom. They did not understand that because they rejected Messiah’s first coming, they would face nearly 2000 years of dispersion but, God did. God had told Daniel the exact day Messiah would enter Jerusalem (the Triumphant Entry) and after they ‘cut off’ Messiah they would be dispersed until the time of the Antichrist.

“Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem (given by Cyrus) Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, Even in troublesome times. (The return from Babylon) And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself (the Triumphant entry and the crucifixion); And the people of the prince who is to come (Romans) Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined (the dispersion).

Then he (the Antichrist) shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.” – Dan. 9:25-27

But, before the time of Antichrist, God knew He would regather Israel back to their homeland and restore it. He also knew about the wars that would take place and that Israel would have to fight for their possession.

“He will set up a banner for the nations, And will assemble the outcasts of Israel, And gather together the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth. Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart, And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, And Judah shall not harass Ephraim. But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west; Together they shall plunder the people of the East; They shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab; And the people of Ammon shall obey them.” – Isa. 11:12-14

God knew they would no longer be Judah and Israel, divided, but they would come back as one nation. He knew their strength would be in their air force. He also knew He would raise up Donald Trump at the head of the most powerful nation on earth to declare that Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel, moving our embassy there. He knew that this would lead to the rebuilding of the Temple which had been destroyed by the Romans.

“Then the Angel of the LORD answered and said, “O LORD of hosts, how long will You not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which You were angry these seventy years?” . . . Therefore thus says the LORD: “I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy; My house shall be built in it,” says the LORD of hosts, “And a surveyor’s line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.” ’ “Again proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “My cities shall again spread out through prosperity; The LORD will again comfort Zion,
And will again choose Jerusalem.” ’ ” – Zech. 1:12-17

Now, I know that this prophesy was given to those returning from the Babylonian captivity but, prophesies stand forever as the word of the Lord and the Lord said I “will again comfort Zion, And will again choose Jerusalem” and “My house shall be built in it,” I know that the decree of Cyrus was to rebuild Jerusalem and the rebuild the Temple and I know that Donald Trump is recognized in Israel as the ‘Cyrus of our day’. And I know that Trump’s Jerusalem declaration sparks talk of 3rd Temple.

God also knows the Messiah will come back a second time to deal with the Antichrist and deliver His people –

“so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.” – Heb. 9:28

But for now, we are all left waiting. But then, David had the right attitude –

“Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!” – Psalm 27:14

As I look out my office window, I see the snow I had been waiting on is here. I feel very confident that the wait for the Lord’s second coming will be just as successful. He will come! As David encouraged, be of good courage and wait on the Lord!
