Houston will be the multi-month (severe water flooding) model for Christian witnessing and support. Florida will be a short term (normal hurricane) model for the Christians to respond to. Based on my works in Houston, government at all levels and all non-Christian non-for-profits have gone out of their way to prevent an adequate Christian witness (such as in the rescue shelters, etc.) However, in reality, the great majority of recovery assistance to date here has been from neighbors and Christians – not government.

Unfortunately, now we get to see how Puerto Rico serves as a model for Christian response when they have (what seems to be now) a long term electric grid failure (such as this posting is discussing). Based on their recent lack of success in governing (witness their pension crisis, budget crisis, bankruptcy issues) – things don’t look very good for their formerly beautiful country now. Yet, we must pray, assist, observe and learn.

I do believe God is allowing us these last few years before the greater tribulations (in terms of deaths) to learn how to better love our neighbors. May we all be successful in our efforts to build His kingdom despite what befalls our truly fallen world!

Maranatha!

Sign sign’s everywhere a sign…look up our redemption is drawing neigh. I wonder if we start getting earth quakes every day after Sept 23?

People say we always had them but their not looking at Israel (1947-48) as the first official sign to validate the other signs.

The Mexico City area just had a 7.1 earthquake.

Only the worst of society does the looting during the power down, but the best of society stops most of that nonsense. I remember more than one armed citizen sitting in store fronts.

I don’t think modern society would fare very well at all if the power were to go down and no one would have any communications or any clue as to when it would come back up. “One Second After” does a good job of more fully expressing my opinion about that scenario.

But when I look to the Bible I don’t see solar activity / flare type events until the wrath of God – bowls stage. The sun burns and scorches in one bowl then the kingdom is moved into darkness with the next bowl. A literal darkness and to the modern mind most likely an electronic darkness. To occur after our rapture, not before, as I have opined before. The anti-Christ has to keep up the whole world grid in order to enforce the false prophet sign of the beast 666 restriction on ALL commerce.

May God spare us that indeed!

We had an X8 and a X1 flare on the sun today. The sun spots (solar storms) causing this are now near the sun’s horizon so I don’t think the related CME’s will be heading toward the earth. The sun spots causing this will be on the back side of the sun for about two weeks. I wonder about the relationship between big solar storms and earthquakes. Will there be another big one in the next couple of days?

Hi Fount,

Thanks for the work you are doing. It looks like short term electrical failure will be widespread in Florida this week. We will see how that goes.

I was working for a very wealthy man in the 90s when the first asteroid striking the earth movies came out. He had me look into things – there was nothing that could be done back then to defense against a planetary or national shut down event. Nothing can be done today either.

What I do know, and it was brought home day after day this week as I distributed New Testaments, witnessed to the lost, encouraged the downtrodden and prayed and counseled both this week in both of Houston’s major rescue shelters – God is and always will be in charge. We, as His relatively few real followers on this planet, are called to do nothing more than love Him and love others as we love ourselves. That puts our highest good as sharing the Good News of Jesus which is the only way off of this rock that will be eternally joyful.

I see what is happening in Houston today and in Florida next week as training grounds for the faithful in witnessing to the hurting and lost. We are to be the models for other communities as they have to address the much bigger problems to come upon our whole planet over the next few years. Be the light where you are and where you go. That is the ultimate prepping!

Hi Bill,

I have already written about the signs of the time. There are signs that point to a soon second coming but nothing more needs to happen for the Rapture to occur. I have also written an order of events leading to the seconded coming but I would not cut it in stone.

Don, I know you’ve written many articles to an audience of believers but can u write a brief summery as writing to someone that is just waking up to the realization that something is going on that will help them to see?

I wrote out a synopsis on paper today to help explain the world events leading up to the rapture.. tribulation and w/ Israel being the fig leaf Jesus talked about and how it’s leading up to now being the end of the age.

Just that you won’t leave anything out where I know I have holes in my summery but scratches the surface.

Thanks, great article here.

ps. going put on my solar glasses now & go look at the sun 🙂
