Matthew 24:34 and "This Generation" - John McTernan? - ? I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. - Matthew 24:34?A couple of years ago, I debated two atheists, Dan and Bill Courtney from the New York State Free Thinkers. During the debate, we discussed the topic of Bible prophecy. The atheists took the position that Matthew 24:34 was a false prophecy by Jesus Christ because His generation passed away and the events prophesied did not take place. This is a common argument by many who attack the authority of the Bible. The Muslims often use this verse when I debate them.?Within Christianity, a doctrine called Preterism (means past) also believes that this verse pertains to the generation of Jesus Christ. The Preterists believe that all prophecy was fulfilled by 70 AD with the extreme view believing that Jesus Christ returned in 70 AD. Because this verse is so often used to attack the authority of Bible prophecy, it is very important to be grounded in the truth of this scripture.?There are two keys to understanding the prophecy of Jesus Christ's Second Coming as revealed in Matthew 24, also known as the Olivet Discourse. The first is to understand Matthew 24:3, while the second is that Mark and Luke also write about this topic. The three Gospels together: Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 are called synoptic and need to be studied together for the complete picture and understanding.?Jesus Christ and His disciples were in Jerusalem at the temple. He warned them that the temple was going to be destroyed. The disciples were upset upon hearing this and asked three questions. The questions are found in Matthew 24:3, which becomes very important because it is the basis for understanding Jesus Christ's words found in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. These topics must be kept in mind when reading the chapters to understand what question He was addressing. The three questions are:?1. When shall these things be? (This is the coming destruction of the temple that was currently standing.)?2. What shall be the sign of your (Second) coming??3. The end of the world.?Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, (1) when shall these things be? and (2) what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of (3) the end of the world??With this in mind, let's look at Matthew 24:34 in the context which it was located. In the preceding verses, the Lord was addressing question two which is the "sign of his coming". This is found in verses 29-31.?Matthew 24:29 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. (31) 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.?These verses are about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the events preceding His return. They are not about the coming destruction of the temple. Then in the following verse, He gives a parable about the "fig tree" putting forth its leaves you know the summer is near. The fig tree blooms very late in the spring, and when it does summertime is very close. The fig tree becomes a timepiece or calendar for an event.?Matthew 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:?The use of the word "fig tree" is very significant because in the Bible it can represent the nation of Israel. God uses this metaphor and others like it because the nation is supposed to bear spiritual fruit for Him. This is a very important parable as it is found in three gospel accounts: here in Matthew as well as Mark 13:28 and Luke 21:29. The fig tree represents Israel. The foundation of the fig tree representing Israel is found in the Old Testament:?Hosea 9:10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at her first time ...?When studying the gospels, there are many times that the Lord uses a parable about the fig tree. They are usually about bearing fruit, which Israel was not, and the subsequent destruction of the tree for being fruitless. In Matthew 24:32, Jesus Christ is talking about the fig tree coming to life and getting ready to bear fruit and not its destruction. The context of Matthew 24:34 is the generation that sees the events coming to pass regarding the end of the age and the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus. THIS generation shall not pass until all the events are fulfilled. Let's look at the entire section in context to see that the generation in focus is the one that is living during the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, and it is not the generation that sees the destruction of the temple. These are two separate events.?Matthew 24:29,30 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.?(31) 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.?(32) Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: (33) So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. (34) Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.?Luke 21 gives a tremendous key to understanding the setting of the generation mentioned in Matthew 24:34. Luke establishes the connection with the destruction of Jerusalem (Question One) and then restoration? of the city (Question Two). So, events involving Jerusalem become the setting for the final generation. In verses 20 and 21, Luke writes about the destruction of the city and what to look for. This is describing when Jerusalem is about to be destroyed. Jerusalem eventually was destroyed in 70 AD by the Roman army, thus fulfilling the warning of Jesus Christ. This answers the first question: "When shall these things be"??Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. (21) Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.?Luke then goes on to say that the destruction of Jerusalem and the captivity of the Jewish people would not last forever. That Jerusalem would be under the control of the non Jews for only a certain period of time. Jesus Christ referred to this as the "times of the Gentiles". The exact length of time was not mentioned, but the conclusion would be known as prophetic events would focus on Jerusalem.?Luke 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. ?The prophet Zechariah also wrote, that just prior to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, Jerusalem would again be the capital of a Jewish state, and the city would be the focus of world attention and massive world wars. The wars would end in the Battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Christ then returns to Jerusalem and this ends the "times of the Gentiles".?Zechariah 12:6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem. ?The Second Coming of Jesus Christ comes at the end of the non Jewish control of Jerusalem.? So, according to the synoptic Gospels regarding the Olivet Discourse, we could be the generation that will not pass away until all things be fulfilled. Just prior to the return of Jesus Christ, the world will be in an upheaval. The sun and moon will show signs that perplex people. On earth, nature will be convulsing with worldwide massive earthquakes and the oceans roaring. The events are so frightening that men's hearts will fail seeing what is happening. Events like these have never happened before but will just prior to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. These events are warnings to the world of Christ's return.?Luke 21:25,26 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.?(27) And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. ?Today, after 1900 years, the Jews are once again back on the land and Israel is a nation. As prophesied by Jesus Christ and the prophets, Jerusalem is once again the capital of a Jewish nation. Hebrew was a dead language, but it was revived and is the national language of Israel. The Israelis even have shekels for money! The fig tree is once again ready to bloom, so we know that "the summer is nigh" or Second Coming of Jesus Christ is near. This is the generation that was mentioned in Matthew 24:34. This is the generation that shall see the end of the age and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.?Luke 21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.?The Lord then went on to say we should watch for we never know when these events might start taking place.?Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.?The watching was not limited to the generation of Jesus Christ but every generation until He returns.?This is a sign that someone is a real Christian, when he is living with the Blessed Hope: looking for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.?Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. ?1Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.?Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;Israel Watch: When the Good Guys Ruled - Jim Fletcher - 's probably no coincidence as we approach the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah that archaeologists have uncovered a remnant of a remarkable time in Israel's history.?About a hundred years before Christ, a Jewish rebellion against the Greek ruler Antiochus Epiphanes produced some of the most amazing leaders in Israel's history. The Maccabees, a family originating from Modi'in (near present-day Tel Aviv), rallied an army that defeated Antiochus. Thus the Jews were sovereign in their land until the Romans emerged decades later.?Just one - one of hundreds - remarkable thing about visiting Israel is seeing ancient history swirl around the present day and even the future. A couple examples come to mind: Israel's governing body, the Knesset, is made up of 120 members. Why that number? Because the Jewish leadership council during the Babylonian exile 2,600 years ago numbered 120.?Also, no matter where new construction starts, great care is given to making sure an archaeological treasure is not harmed. A few years ago I was strolling down a street in Jaffa and noticed the street was torn up. Thinking it was some paving problem, I asked someone. "Oh, no," came the reply. "They've uncovered some ancient site."?I know other countries have archaeological sites, but certainly Israel is unique in this regard.??Hearing of this week's announcement of a fortress used by Antiochus reminded me of the sublime times I've walked around Jerusalem's Old City. There are still places just outside the city's walls where one can imagine some amazing treasure just waiting to be uncovered.?No one knows where the tombs of David and Solomon are, but significant sites have been uncovered on the southern end. David's palace sits atop an ancient community that slopes downhill, overlooking the modern Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan. One can imagine David here, looking down on a beautiful young woman bathing on her roof.?According to the Times of Israel:?"A section of fortification was discovered under the Givati parking lot in the City of David south of the Old City walls and the Temple Mount. The fortification is believed to have been part of a system of defenses known as the Acra fortress, built by Antiochus as he sought to quell a Jewish priestly rebellion centered on the Temple.?"Antiochus is remembered in the Jewish tradition as the villain of the Hanukkah holiday who sought to ban Jewish religious rites, sparking the Maccabean revolt."?It is absolutely incredible that in our day scores of people around the world seek to erase Jewish history from the Holy Land. Some in the religious community even refer to it almost exclusively as "the Holy Land" so that they don't have to say "Israel."?And yet we continually see evidence of Jewish history uncovered in their ancient homeland.?I love that this new site is being opened to the public on the evening of December 6, the beginning of Hanukkah this year.?May the memory of the Maccabees be remembered in all their glory. And may their memory inspire today's generation of Israelis, who are facing their own Antiochus.??jim@ ?Russian military surge in Syria: More helicopters, first "volunteer" combatants - ??After the downing of the Russian airliner over Sinai on Oct. 31, Moscow moved into positon to lead the offensive against the Islamic State in Syria. The Russian air force transferred a large number of assault helicopters out of its enclave in Latakia province over to two Syrian air bases east of Homs on the front lines against ISIS, debkafile's military sources report. From the T4 (Tiyas) and Shayrat Airbases, the Russian command will lead the battle against the Islamic State over Homs, a city of one million inhabitants and the hub of central-eastern Syria. As the Russians move over from air strikes to the offensive against ISIS, they know their combat helicopters are now exposed to being shot down.??Homs came under direct threat on Nov. 1, when Islamic State forces captured the village of Mahin south of the city, cutting down the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Syrian army and Hezbollah forces standing in their path and inflicting heavy casualties. Control of Mahin opened the way for ISIS and Syrian rebels to reach the southern suburbs of Homs and seize control of the strategic M5 Highway linking the city to Damascus.??Another group of Russian combat helicopters is now deployed at Hama Military Airport to block off the offensive ISIS and the Nusra Front are preparing to launch in the northern Idlib Province. There too jihadist forces have made advances. On Nov. 5, they snatched from the Syrian army the strategic town of Morek which commands the routes from the north to central Syria.??According to intelligence reports from southern Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, more Russian combat helicopter units are under orders to stand ready for transfer to Syria. Moscow is evidently preparing to take over from the Iranians, the Syrians and Hezbollah the heavy-lifting of the war to stop further ISIS advances. More helicopters are needed to support this offensive if it is to go forward on all fronts.??Other intelligence sources report Russian "volunteer" units getting organized for departure to Syria from southern Russia and eastern Ukraine, detached from fighting alongside pro-Moscow separatists.??Their arrival in Syria would deepen Russia's military intervention in the Syrian conflict and also mark its first participation in ground combat, contradicting President Vladimir Putin's earlier pledge against putting Russian boots on the ground in Syria.?While intensifying the war on ISIS, the Kremlin is also pushing forward its plan for a political solution of the Syrian crisis, to be discussed at the forthcoming multinational conference in Vienna.??Tuesday, Nov. 10, a number of Western media claimed to "reveal" some of its key points, although the full seven-point blueprint was first published by DEBKA Weekly 684 on Oct. 30, under the heading:?Revealed: Russia's Syrian Peace Plan ?1. Russia and Washington will draw up an agreed "target list" of parties standing out against a political resolution of the conflict. They are to be attacked jointly by US and allies and Russian forces. The proposal does not go into the nature of a bilateral mechanism for determining who figures on the "target list."?Moscow would really prefer the Russian and the US-led coalition air forces not to confine their attacks to ISIS, but extend them also to Syrian rebel groups. Russia could then refute US and NATO allegations that only one out of every nine Russian air strikes is directed against an ISIS target, with the majority aimed at Syrian rebel groups.?As DEBKA Weekly reported in its previous issue, the Obama administration did not reject a priori the proposed US-Russian air force collaboration in Syria and Iraq, but requested additional clarifications from Moscow.?2. Moscow proposes an immediate cease-fire on all Syrian army-rebel warfronts. The proposal does not say if it should apply to the foreign forces fighting in the country, such as the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hezbollah, the pro-Iranian militias and the Russians themselves.?3. Once the cease-fire goes into effect, all the parties and organizations involved in the war will be convened for a national dialogue. This round-table conference will have three main goals:?A. Release of all prisoners and hostages held by the various sides.?B. Preparation of parliamentary and presidential elections with a general amnesty for political prisoners.?C. Establishment of a new government committed to implementing agreed constitutional reforms that center on the transfer of presidential powers from Assad to the designated prime minister.?In other words, Assad will not be made to step down as president at once, but will have to give up his presidential powers, including control of the military and intelligence services.?It is assumed that Putin put this clause before the Syrian ruler in Moscow as a diktat he had no choice but to accept.?4. The Russian president offers a personal guarantee that Assad will not be permitted to run for president in the coming elections, but he has accepted the Syrian ruler's proviso that members of his family and ruling caste will be eligible for election.?5. All the rebel groups and militias that take part in implementing the Russian plan will be absorbed into Syria's military or other security services and place themselves under their orders.?6. Governments and other bodies outside Syria will undertake to halt weapons supplies to all combatant forces. This provision applies not only to the US and Saudi Arabia with regard to rebel groups, but also to Russia and Iran as sponsors of the Syrian army.?7.? Russia will continue to maintain military force in Syria as security for the agreement's full implementation, contingent on UN Security Council endorsement of its presence.MAGOG RISING - DVDMagog Rising - Preview TrailerMore than 2,500 years ago, God gave?the prophet Ezekiel an astonishing prophecy to give to the world, one that would be fulfilled in "the latter days." Many Bible scholars feel that the prophesied events, found in Ezekiel 38 and 39, could be fulfilled in the near future, and that we might already be witnessing the stage being set and the actors being moved into place, in light of current events happening in the Middle East, right now.?In Ezekiel 38, Russia, Iran, and an alliance of Muslim nations invade Israel due to a "hook placed in the mouth of Russia" to bring Russia down to invade Israel. That hook could very well be the natural-gas fields discovered off the coast of Israel or the more recent finding of massive oil deposits in the Golan Heights.?With Russian and Iranian military forces now cooperating? and engaging in combat in Syria, just miles north of the border of Israel, people are asking if these events are setting the stage for the fulfillment of what Bible scholars call the "War of Gog & Magog" that is supposed to take place in the End of Days??Join us in this exciting new DVD as we examine Ezekiel 38 & 39 and the infamous war of Gog & Magog, and compare it to today's headlines and current events in the Middle East.?This DVD will be released on *November 27, 2015, and you can pre-order this DVD right now.

As we read the headlines in the newspapers of today, and witness the conflicts in the Middle East, it's not hard to imagine that this invasion prophesied over 2600 years ago, could be fulfilled in the immediate future.? Ezekiel 36-37 predicts a gathering of the Jews to the nation of Israel, which will be followed by this massive invasion.? For 19 centuries, the Jewish people were scattered throughout the world, and until May 14, 1948, there was no nation of Israel to invade.? With the nation of Israel now a reality, the stage seems set for the war that will usher in the tribulation and the rise of the Antichrist; a war that will end with the destruction of Israel's enemies by God Himself, and lead to the signing of a peace treaty with the Antichrist.?As you read Ezekiel 38 and 39, it isn't just the creation of the nation of Israel that makes this prophecy seem likely to be fulfilled in the near future.? The nations that God tells us will form this coalition against Israel seem more likely now than perhaps ever before to form just such an alliance." The leaders of this coalition will be Russia and Iran, and currently both of these nations are right on Israel's doorstep, under the pretense of battling ISIS in Syria. I believe that there are a couple of unfulfilled prophecies that will lead-up to this massive invasion of Israel, and as we read today's headlines, we find that the fulfillment of these two prophesied events,?could happen very soon!First Reviews:"Wonderful works and video - wonderful explaining - thank you so much, congratulations God bless you I'm very glad for this gift" - L.

This is the picture troubling issues and events force us to commit to the electronic page each week in these commentaries. But there is about to burst forth a dazzling spectacle of a future world brilliant beyond all imagination. It is this spectacular prospect I wish to present before you in this week's commentary. ?You and I, of all generations of all of human history, are here at this moment in time--put here by the Creator of all that is. No other people of any previous generation have been so near to attaining the things the God of Heaven has prepared for those who love Him. Those who have chosen to accept God's offer to be part of His family have at the forefront of their spiritual understanding, a spectacular panorama of what is to come. ?We get this truth from the words of the apostle Paul: ?But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. (1 Corinthians 2: 9-12) ?God's love letter to mankind--the Bible--makes it clear that this world system will come to an end and a new era will begin in which planet earth will be restored to a perfect geophysical environment like that of the Garden of Eden. All hunger will be replaced by abundance far beyond any known since Eden was in full bloom. Human government, with its murderous, tyrannical, self-serving rulers, will be forever done away with, replaced by the absolute perfect reign of King Jesus. ?All citizens of the millennial kingdom will prosper in every way. Although sin will still exist, Christ's perfect rule with a "rod of iron" will assure that all sin will be kept beneath the surface of the society and culture of that marvelous era. Crime will be instantly dealt with, as nothing can be hidden from His Majesty's omnipotent law enforcement. Who knows? If you are a child of God now, in this pre-Tribulation dispensation, you might be one of the King's millennial, perfect law enforcement agents during Christ's one-thousand-year reign. ?All of God's children who have lived and died during this Church Age or Age of Grace will, at the moment Christ calls "Come up here," be instantly changed into immortal beings --supernatural citizens of God's Kingdom. As Christ's Bride, Church Age saints will Reign with the Lord, judging even the angels of Heaven. Having the perfect, sinless mind of Christ, each of His beloved family members will bless the millennial earth with contributions commensurate with the heavenly administration rewards received at the Judgment Seat of Christ. ?Each raptured saint will be fellow possessor of all of God the Father's heavenly riches. When you accept Christ while in this present dispensation, you become joint heirs with the Lord Jesus Christ. All of God's treasury will then be yours when you find yourself in the presence of the Lord Jesus at the moment of Rapture. ?That instantaneous movement into the heavenlies at the time of death or Rapture is without even a microsecond of hesitation. I can testify to that Truth whether I am believed or not by those who I no doubt keep boring with my own Good Friday experience of April 22, 2011. Regardless of that risk, I cannot help but proclaim yet again that, as Paul the apostle said: "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord!" ?The instant my heart was stopped three separate times by a "widow-maker" heart attack on three occasions that day and the doctors declared me dead on arrival, I was instantaneously staring at the cloud of witnesses of Hebrews 12: 1-3. I didn't see Jesus, but then, again, I wasn't kept in that eternal realm, but was sent back to, for one thing, write today's column! ?I've been shown in my spirit that they were cheering the very things we are considering in this commentary in thinking on the promises of God's prophetic Word regarding Christ's any-moment call to His Bride, the Church, and the glorious post-Rapture things to come. ?I am of the strongest conviction that all believers are about to instantaneously find ourselves looking directly into the soul-piercing gaze of the Creator of all things --into the eyes of Jesus, Himself. Everything points to the certainty that this Age of Grace is on the cusp of completion. The very next event that is prophetically scheduled is, from what I believe the Bible foretells, the change from mortal to immortality--the Rapture. ?What a glorious prospect! As our Lord escorts Heaven's newest citizens into the Father's house, the effulgence of the glimmering, shimmering spectrum of colors, sights, and sounds never seen or heard this side of eternity will drench our supernaturally enhanced senses while we proceed. This is not pie in the sky, as mockers often taunt in scoffing at those who have faith that God's Word presents the Pre-Trib Rapture view of prophecy. This is really about to occur! The ultimate fulfillment of prophetic promise for believers in Jesus Christ, securing their future life that will never end, rather will only increase in pleasure and power beyond the ability to fathom, is at hand. ?We too easily forget Jesus' promise to come for us and take us to His Father's House: ?Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14: 1-3) ?While we involve ourselves in the daily pursuits of life, thinking on jobs, our children, our friends and social obligations and functions, our pleasures and our problems, we must, as believers in our Lord's Promises, look around us at the prophetic signs and discern these strange times. We must understand that Jesus could at any moment stand from his seat at His Father's right hand and come to gather and take all of those who are but strangers upon this fallen planet into the Father's house--into Heaven. ?All the signals point to our going Home!??Violent Shaking along the Ring Of Fire Continues a Progression of Disasters That Began In September - By Michael Snyder - you noticed that seismic activity along the Ring of Fire appears to be dramatically increasing?? According to Volcano Discovery, 39 volcanoes around the world have recently erupted, and 32 of them are associated with the Ring of Fire.? This includes Mt. Popocatepetl which sits only about 50 miles away from Mexico City's 18 million inhabitants.? If you are not familiar with the Ring of Fire, it is an area roughly shaped like a horseshoe that runs along the outer perimeter of the Pacific Ocean.? Approximately 90 percent of all earthquakes and approximately 75 percent of all volcanic eruptions occur along the Ring of Fire.? Just within the last 24 hours, we have witnessed a 4.4, a 5.4 and a 5.7 earthquake in Alaska, a 6.8 earthquake in Chile and 20 earthquakes in Indonesia of at least magnitude 4.3.? And as you will see below, this violent shaking along the Ring of Fire seems to continue a progression of major disasters that began back during the month of September.?For whatever reason, our planet suddenly seems to be waking up.? Unfortunately, the west coast of the United States is one of the areas where this is being felt the most.? The little city of San Ramon, California is about 45 miles east of San Francisco, and over the past several weeks it has experienced a record-breaking 583 earthquakes...?A total of 583 small earthquakes have shaken San Ramon, California, in the last three weeks or so - more than five times the record set 12 years ago, according to the latest US Geological Survey updates.?"It's the swarm with the largest number of total earthquakes in San Ramon," said USGS scientist David Schwartz, who is more concerned about the size of quakes than he is the total number of them. Still, the number tops the previous record set in 2003, when 120 earthquakes hit over 31 days, with the largest clocking in at a magnitude of 4.2.?Could this be a prelude to a major seismic event in California??We shall see what happens.?Meanwhile, records are being shattered in the middle part of the country as well.?For instance, the state of Oklahoma has already set a brand new yearly record for earthquakes...?The state recorded its 587th earthquake of 3.0 magnitude or higher early this week, breaking the previous record of 585. That record was set for all of 2014, meaning that Oklahoma has now had more 3.0 magnitude or higher earthquakes so far in 2015 than it did in all of 2014. So far this year, E&E News reports, Oklahoma's averaged 2.5 quakes each day, a rate that, if it continues, means the state could see more than 912 earthquakes by the end of this year.?Oklahoma has also experienced 21 4.0 magnitude or greater earthquakes so far this year - an increase over last year, which saw 14.?And just over this past weekend there was a very disturbing series of earthquakes in the state...?Starting with a magnitude-4.1 temblor at 5:11 a.m. close to the Oklahoma-Kansas border, the region experienced a series of six earthquakes within a 75-minute period Saturday morning, the U.S. Geological Survey reported on its website.?The largest earthquake Saturday morning was the 4.1, which had an epicenter nine miles northwest of Medford, Okla., 59 miles southwest of Wichita.?That was followed by five more quakes near Medford with magnitudes of 2.5, 2.8, 2.5, 3.1 and 2.9 - the last of which came at 6:24 a.m.?A seventh earthquake - this one a magnitude-4.2 temblor - was recorded at 12:29 p.m., 10 miles north-northwest of Medford.?So why aren't more Americans alarmed that these records are being broken??We are seeing things that we have never seen before, and I believe that it will soon get even worse.?And this dramatic increase in seismic activity that we are now seeing appears to fit into a larger pattern of major disasters that we have been witnessing over the past couple of months.?As we approached the end of the summer, all of a sudden massive wildfires erupted all across the western third of the country.? According to the National Interagency Fire Center, the only time in U.S. history when wildfires had burned more acres by the end of October was during the record-setting year of 2006.?In 2015, a lot of these wildfires have really been threatening highly populated areas.? I know, because at one point a major fire came within about 10 miles of my own house.? Since the beginning of August, Barack Obama has made an astounding 25 disaster declarations related to fires, and by the end of September the horrible fires that were threatening key areas of the state of California were making headlines all over the world.?Then as we got to the very end of the month of September, a new kind of disaster began to take center stage.? As I wrote about just recently, the storm that would later became known as Hurricane Joaquin developed into a tropical depression on September 28th.?Even though that hurricane never made landfall in the United States, moisture from that storm caused a tremendous amount of chaos along the east coast.?The governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, said that it was the most rain that some areas of her state had witnessed "in a thousand years", and it is being projected that the economic damage that was done by all of the flooding "will probably be in the billions of dollars".?Shortly after the flooding in South Carolina, a massive storm dumped an enormous amount of rain on southern California.? Because that area had been experiencing severe drought for so long, all of that rain caused tremendous flooding and massive mudslides.? Rivers of mud literally several feet thick completely stopped traffic along many major roads across the region.? If you got caught in those rivers of mud, you were lucky to get out with your life.? In fact, authorities pulled one dead man out of a vehicle that got completely buried by mud several days after the storms had passed.? It took them that long to finally get to him.?The middle of the country was not spared either.? Hurricane Patricia ended up being one of the strongest hurricanes ever measured, and the remnants of that storm dumped an incredible amount of rain on the state of Texas.? There was so much flooding that a train was literally knocked off the tracks by the water.? And about a week after that there was more flooding in the state that caused at least six deaths.?Overall, it has really been a bad couple of months for major disasters, and this sequence of events seems to have begun during the month of September.??? Daily Jot: Honoring our veterans, or not - Bill Wilson - ?As we commemorate Veterans Day, I am always humbled by the selfless and heroic efforts made by those brave men and women, the sons and daughters of America who preserved liberty at the highest cost, no short cuts, but the ultimate price. I think of that fantastic generation of World War II and those that followed in Korea, Vietnam and, now, the Middle East. They sacrificed their lives for something they believed was bigger than them. They knew the value of family; the power of God; and that what was good about life and liberty was foundational to being an American, and it was worth fighting for. They were defined by their courage and character, their dedication to what was right and good. ?Veterans Day this day is a solemn day in our household. Growing up, the price of liberty was always close to home and family as many in our community stood when called and said "Here am I." We in America are crying out for common sense, a sign that we can find unity, and peace. We have been at war with Islam for 15 years. It is too long. Our veterans pay the price of death, mental health, loss of limbs, and loss of family. There is absolutely no resolve on the part of politicians to do the right thing--fight this war with a decisive and victorious end, and get it done. But considering the response by the Administration and the weak-kneed politicians of both parties, there is little hope of resolution outside of God's hand of mercy.?Warren McCarthy and Gene Flynn, served on D-Day, surviving the beaches of Normandy. They were decorated war heroes. Not much of what they did was ever discussed. But you somehow knew that they were special. My dad, who was a farmer during WWII, was best friends with these men. He knew what went on, but would never say. They were among the finest men I knew growing up. My uncle Bob Harris served in the Philippines. There were times when he had flashbacks. My dad would get a call from my aunt and he would find Uncle Bob, talk him down and hold him until the terror passed. He, too, was a decorated hero. All these men knew the price of freedom and they understood their civic duty to their families, their God and their country.?Presidents Reagan, Bush, and Clinton all openly paid respect to America's servicemen and women on Veteran Days. Former President George W. Bush honored and respected our servicemen every day of his two terms. For example, he gave up the game of golf early in his presidency out of respect for the families of those who gave their lives for our nation. The current "president," however, shows no such respect. He has golfed 248 times during his presidency, and has played golf on every Memorial Day weekend since taking office. Think about the optics and how this Administration has treated veterans. Jesus said in Matthew 7:20, "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Enough said.Daily Devotion: Not As It Seems - Greg Laurie - ?A good man obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of wicked intentions He will condemn. -Proverbs 12:2?When Mary poured a flask of costly, fragrant oil on Jesus, not everyone appreciated her sacrifice and generosity. Matthew tells us, "But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, 'Why this waste? For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor' " (26:8-9).?In a way, you can almost see their beef. The perfume was worth about $35,000. We may think, Is that good stewardship? Was that really a good idea? But John's Gospel gives us a significant detail that provides us with important insight into who led this little revolt:?But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray Him, said, "Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?" This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it. (John 12:4-6)?Judas was in charge of the money. His motive was not a concern for the poor; it was a concern for money leaving his pocket. Ironically, the name Judas means "the son of waste." (What kind of name is that to give to a child?) Here was a man whose name meant "the son of waste" accusing Mary of waste. ?This is typical of hypercritical people. I have found that those who are so quick to find fault with others, often challenging their motives, usually are guilty of something far worse. They project their sins on the people they accuse, when, in reality, they are the ones with the problem.?I have also found that these people tend to do very little, and those who complain the least typically are the ones who do the most.FROM THE HEART??IF YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED THROUGH THIS MINISTRY, THEN WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD PLEASE REMEMBER PROPHECY UPDATE IN YOUR GIVING - WE ARE TRULY,?TRULY,?THANKFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT??Prophecy Update has no corporate sponsors.
