Is this the Tribulation Period? - What about the Pyramid of Giza?

Do you believe that we are in the Tribulation period at this time?
Posted By: GLarrabee

Date: Wednesday, 19 September 2007, 11:41 p.m.

My introduction to Rumor Mill readers,
It is a great honor to be ask by Raylan to contribute to Rumor Mill News and I will be sharing things from a Bible based spiritual perspective.

The following has been revealed to me about how we can survive what lies ahead. I think these points are self explanatory. The revelations have come through prophecy, listening to my spirit and Bible study.

I believe the Bible is the truth, because in spite of the failures of the men called of God to write, God is in control and knows everything that can happen even before he created the world, so he has compensated for all of man’s failures in his words written in the Bible.

Everything I say or write must line up with Bible scripture (but not necessarily what some one thinks the Bible say) or I am wrong. This should be taken as a statement of my present understanding.

I am not a minister or preacher and do not belong to any church or organization. I have not been to any seminary. I am trying my best to be obedient and let God live his life through me, as many of you are also.

I do not want to argue or be divisive. I am trying to break down all barriers that separate good people. I believe I have been given knowledge that needs to be shared with people all over the world.

Do you believe that we are in the Tribulation period at this time?

Let us examine the judgment that is coming upon the Earth from God’s perspective.

1. Aside from the work of creation, the Lord has not done any work greater than judgment.
2. The first work that He did was creation, and His last work is judgment. Without judgment God's purpose of creation cannot be arrived at; so in His plan for mankind
judgment is constructive and not destructive.
3. After judgment, we are told that Christ will be with us.
4. Through judgment God sanctifies Himself. What I mean to say is, the way a crime is judged expresses the kind of person handing down the judgment. The judge of a court is honored according to the judgment he gives. The judge has the responsibility of being fair according to the law regardless of anything else.
5. Judgment causes us to know ourselves, and exposes all hidden things. All things of the world will be exposed on the day of God's judgment.
6. The day of judgment is God's great cleansing day.
7. Our mistake is that when we think of judgment we think of punishment. But God takes no delight in punishing men.
8. Both the ark and the flood came from God. The ark offered redemption where as the flood judged the world. The ark saved Noah, but the flood saved the world.
9. The book of Revelation is the book of judgment that glides over the millennial kingdom, which is the 1000 years that people on this earth learn righteousness. This is the time of peace between the two judgments of the first three and one half years of tribulation and the second three and one half years called the great tribulation.
10. Judgment is not only a burning fire. It is also the enlightening fire. Because of this light men will hide in caves and call upon the mountains and rocks to cover them.
11. In judgment whatever is covered will be uncovered and will show the things which God has found in us.
12. When we look at judgment we recognize who God is. To know God as Lord is to know Him through the redemption of Christ Jesus. If we don't know God as Lord, we can only know Him as God, and knowing Him only as God is quite another thing.
13. Through judgment those not accepting him as Lord will know the terror of God, and their worship will be in a different attitude than those worshiping him as Lord.
14. Judgment is God's work in accomplishing His plan and purpose, and is both terrible and also loving. Before the arrival of the trumpet judgments that we discussed in the writings on Revelation, Jesus was sent by his father to die on the cross; the way of personal salvation for all.
15. The cross saves not by setting judgment aside, but on the contrary the cross itself is judgment. The judgment of the cross offers salvation. Salvation fulfills judgment, not by overcoming it, but by reaching the blood of Christ to go through it.
16. The cross of Christ is the judgment for those who will believe.
17. When speaking of the judgment that will be manifested by the Lord through His Branch, we see restitution for all that has been taken from believers by the world.

Isaiah 11: 4,5
4. But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

5. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins and the girdle of his reigns.

2. The Bible speaks of the Branch judging the world. Let us look at the Branch. As believers we are all Branches making up the corporate branch described in the Bible.

1. The way of going through judgment is trusting the Lord completely and helping each other to the point of treating our neighbor, not as our brother but as ourselves. The Bible describes the Branch as the body of believers being a perfect man, made up of many, many men, women and children

2. When we become that perfect man described in Ephesians 4:11-13 all of one mind and accord we will be given the corporate anointing to fulfill the Prophecies of the Branch. Jesus himself made a special effort to speak about this in John 15:1-15.

2. The words that Jesus spoke are of the same power and authority that Isaiah describes concerning the Branch.

3. Jesus put it in personal terms that we should be able to understand if we really believe what Jesus said.

4. We have missed a large portion of prophetic truth because of many generations of misunderstanding the Branch, described in Isaiah the 11th chapter and the first verse. We need to be sure exactly what each word of this verse means.

5. In the past, because of the power, authority, wisdom, righteousness, etc. described in the first five verses it was nearly impossible to think that this could refer to anyone other than Jesus Christ Himself. And so teachers put a false spin on this verse similar to the spin we see on the events of the daily news by commentators in the media.

Isaiah 11: 1
*1. And there shall come forth a ROD out of the STEM OF JESSE and a BRANCH shall grow out of HIS ROOTS.

Going backwards we see the ROOTS belong to HIS, and HIS refers to the ROOTS. The ROOTS belong to the BRANCH, and the BRANCH refers to the ROD that came out of the STEM OF JESSE.

3. David, the Stem of Jesse; The Rod here refers to Jesus Christ. The Branch is all the followers of Jesus Christ.

6. *1. So we must be clear that the Branch represents the followers of Jesus Christ, regardless of how powerful and glorious the description. But the power and authority is not from the Branch.

7. The authority is Jesus Christ the Rod who holds all power and authority to give power and authority to anyone He desires to give it to.
8. He chooses to give all this power and authority to His people or His body, so that He may rule through His body, the Branch.

9. He is the Vine and we are the Branches.

10. When we totally submit to the power and the authority of Jesus Christ we are saying a "Divine Yes" to be used by Him.

11. By giving total submission we will receive total power and authority in the name of Jesus.

12. Through God's divine plan of submission and prayer He is actually inviting us as redeemed men and women of God into a joint venture with Him.

13. We are being asked to become a part of fulfilling a plan of God that was made even before creation.

14. All the responsibility of implementing and fulfilling God's decisions is the responsibility of his servants here on earth. The power, the responsibility, and authority for enforcement will rest upon the followers of Christ, His anointed BRANCH both corporately and individually.

15. We can't do this by our own power or might, but only through the Spirit of the Lord working in and through us.

16. You might say that the key to opening the doors into the millennial kingdom is to understand how to let Jesus Christ open the door of the kingdom through us by our total submission.

17. Jesus was giving us this full power and authority, although we have not yet been able to accept it, when He said, "As the father has sent me, even so, I send you".

18. We, as his Branch, will be commissioned to reclaim, to judge, and govern the kingdom with the full integrity of God Himself acting through us in the power of the 7 spirits of the Lord, described in Isaiah 11: 1-5.

19. If we of this generation refuse to pray and submit to where we can be used, God will not bring this forth in this generation.

20. He will never go beyond the will of His people on earth to act. This does not mean the plan changes.

21. His plan was made before the creation of the world, and His plan will never change. If we fail to act, the plan will merely be held up for a new generation. We don't want to make the mistake of the generation coming out of Egypt and roam in the wilderness of confusion for another 40 years.

22. When God cannot find anyone on earth suitable through total submission and willingness to act on His behalf, His program fails for a time. He awaits until mankind gets back in proper alignment with Him to be used by Him to accomplish His perfect will.

23. The blue prints of God's plan on earth were drawn by Him at the beginning of time, and His plan will never change.

24. At the point He finds a person so willing that He has truly died to self, when it is no longer he, but Christ that lives in him to do His purposes, all the power of the universe will be available to him.

25. The power will be in his spoken word in the name of Jesus to do great exploits in the will and name of Jesus Christ.

26. The world has not yet seen what the Lord will do through his totally submissive body.

27. The bible says we overcome the enemy by our testimony, by the blood of the Lamb and having no fear of death.

28. ARE YOU WILLING TO JOIN THE RANKS OF THE OVERCOMERS?

29. We corporately make up the International Branch of the Lion of Judah to fulfill biblical prophecy.

30. Isaiah describes the Branch and speaks of a single person because we act as a single body corporately, as a single person under the direction of the head of the body Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 11:1-5
31. 1. And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

32. 2. and the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

33. 3. and shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD.

And he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

34. 4. but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

35. 5. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

Is America’s prophecy about to be fulfilled? Its time to “Listen up America!”
Posted By: GLarrabee
Date: Thursday, 20 September 2007, 2:01 p.m.

I believe the Bible specifically describes America and gives us a hint of what is taking place. I believe the 18th chapter Isaiah describes America. I also believe the message tells us how we are to respond.

The book of Isaiah is very short containing only 7 verses. So I am also posting these 7 verses with my comments between each verse. Take this as a statement of my present understanding. I hope my understanding is expanded as a result of reader’s comments. Many of the prophecies according to the Bible are a closed book until the time of fulfillment, so this is thinking out of the box. You may very well be given a deeper and better understanding as you read these verses and also think out of the box.

Keep in mind we are trying to understand terms used in 720 BC, to describe an unknown country over 2700 years in Isaiah’s future. I’m sure he listened through his intuitive ear and wrote, knowing nothing except that he was sure it was important to God and he must be obedient.

Its time to “Listen up America!”

Verse one speaks of the land with shadowing wings. Could this describes the emblem of the United States a land with the eagle with the up-spread wings as it national emblem? I personally think it does. The eagle with the up-spread wings is the symbol of America and is recognized throughout the world.

The eighteenth chapter of Isaiah is a prophecy of warning to the United States of America.

Isaiah 18:1
1. Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia.

Woe! Woe sounds like a warning to me. This is to an unknown country to Isaiah, a country beyond his knowledge, beyond the rivers of Ethiopia.

Not Ethiopia but beyond Ethiopia.

This was written by the Prophet Isaiah about 720 B.C. At that time the only known population centers lied along the borders of the Mediteranian Sea. The boundaries of the known lands were Ethiopia, Arabia, Egypt, Persia, India and Tarshish.

So the land beyond Ethiopia included continents he knew nothing about, all the unknown land making up North and South America. This is a prophetic word to a people looking nearly 3,000 years into the future from the time it was spoken.

We will see that Isaiah is perfectly describing the United States of America in the beginning of the twenty first century with the word used in 700 B.C.

2. That sendeth ambassadors by sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, Ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled. To a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; A nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled.

The United States is the nation that influences all other nations more than any other. Other nations send their future leaders to America to be educated. The United Nations is headquartered in New York City, where all nations come to meet together and we have our own ambassadors and embassy's in all these nations of the world.

The C. I. A. of the United States is in the business of knowing the secrets of the other nations, private companies and influential people of the world. The United States has military bases on foreign lands in strategic locations throughout the world, as well as aircraft in constant flight as well as ships and submarines in all the oceans and seas. Now the United States has satellite’s positioned to any point on earth to spy on any selected target.

The warning Isaiah gives is directed to a nation scattered and peeled. The United States is a scattered country with 50 separate states and several territories. Americans are generally taller than the world’s average and it's men since its beginning have commonly preferred to be cleans shaven.

Isaiah says these people were terrible from the beginning. Most Americans can only trace there ancestry back to the founding of America and people only know that their ancestors came from a European country.

We may not know where we come from or who we really are as a people, but Isaiah was speaking the words the Lord was giving Him and the Lord knows our ancestry and all our beginnings.

I have written about the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel being a people terrible from their beginnings. They turned from worshipping the true God to sacrificing their own children to Idols and god's made of wood and stone.

The Ten Lost Tribes of Israel were punished for their evil deeds when the Lord forced them to be in bondage to Assyria for three hundred and ninety years. By tracing prophecy and treating it as history written in advance we are shown who these people really are.

After this bondage the Lord scattered them among the nations of the world and when America was discovered these white Anglo Saxon people settled in Europe, Australia, Canada and the United States. According to the scriptures these people were to increase to be so many that they could not be counted, with the numbers to be compared to all the stars of heaven or all the sand of the seas.

When Isaiah says a nation meted out and trodden down, he is perfectly describing our system of surveying the land. Our method is to use metes and bounds surveying, as our measuring system to survey the land to be built and settled upon.

This has been done from border to border and from coast to coast.

Isaiah says this is a nation the rivers have spoiled.

The United States is built upon many rivers and has over 20,000 miles of river frontages which includes, the following river systems;

1. The Arkansas River.
2. The Colorado River.
3. The Columbia River.
4. The Mississippi River.
5. The Missouri River.
6. The Ohio River.
7. The Red River.
8. The Rio Grande River.
9. The St. Laurence River.
10. The Snake River.

The Great Lakes form the largest body of fresh water in the world and their connecting waterways are the largest inland water transportation network.

Our economy and living conditions are based largely upon hydro electric power generated from the waters dammed up on these rivers.

All our major cities, even our major coastal cities are located along these waterways where all types of industries have developed.

Manufacturing, new inventions and modern technologies, have been developed there.

The dammed up rivers have provided an irrigation system that enables our farmers to raise crops and export food around the world.

3. All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains, and when he bloweth a trumpet hear ye.

This seems to be a warning to all the people of the world to watch the United states for a great sign that will be lifted up not by the nation, but by an individual that will be seen around the world by all the media.

Everyone is told to pay attention and to be sure to listen and pay strict attention to this sign.
What might the signs be?

The sign may be something political, something of the world organization or it may be spiritual. I have pointed out some spiritual possibilities below:
1. That the Branch of the Lord is formed to bring forth the Kingdom of God. (This Branch is made of people living in this generation that are fulfilling Bible prophecy)
2. The temple that Ezekiel described should be constructed for the Messiah on the temple mount in Jerusalem.
3. The ten tribes have been found and identified and they are all joining with The Jewish people of the world. (The re-gathering of all the Tribes of Israel are one of the main themes of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel)
4. They will become one people that will appoint one king over the entire kingdom of all the tribes of Israel.
4. For so the Lord said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider my dwelling place like a clear heat upon the herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of the harvest.

I believe this verse is saying the Lord is considering his dwelling place not in heaven but here on earth. The rest is the 1000 year rest or the millennial kingdom. The Kingdom of God is on this earth.

When the Lord said pray, Thy Kingdom Come upon earth as it is in heaven, he was speaking of his future dwelling place. The Lord is considering the earth His dwelling place. He is considering the cleansing that will take place by heat and burning as a refiner’s fire that burns off all the dross. That is the time we are going through at this time.

The Lord will soon come out of His place to righteously judge the earth with purification. The Lord shows us a picture of America by illustrating that part of the crops being burned with heat. He also shows us a picture, as rain falling in the middle of a harvest that spoils part of the crop. I believe a spiritual separation is now taking place among all people.

This may represent the wheat being rained upon and the tares being burned.

5. For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks and take away and cut down the branches.

This seems to say the warning is at a time of great prosperity, at a time when everyone expects the markets to continue rising, there will suddenly be great pain compared to the pruning of branches. The pruning seems to include finances and world power, the things we see happening before our eyes.

The nation is severely wounded but not totally destroyed. This may very well include the loss of lives up to one third of the United States population. In verse 6 see the people flee from the cities to the countryside and mountains to survive.

6. They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains and the beasts of the earth; and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.

The destruction takes place in the fall of the year at harvest time and people are forced out of their homes into the winter weather without shelter where many will die and become food for wild beasts for a time period of one year including both summer and winter. Have you noticed the change in animal temperament throughout the world in the last few years where many people have been attached by animals.

7. In that time shall the present be brought unto the Lord of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the Mount Zion.

The present being brought unto the Lord I believe will be an awakening or a great revelation, revealed to the people of the world.

I believe this is connected to the revelation of the 10 lost tribes, a time that the people will remember their beginnings. The Revelation of who they really are. The people will learn of their beginning through revelation as they are under persecution dwelling in the wilderness and in the mountains. We turn to the lord in times of crisis and the people will turn to the Lord and will be all of one mind to seeking the Lord and his perfect will. Many will be given the anointing and power to do great exploits in the name of the Lord.

The new world order being formed by the nations of the world will try to eliminate the people of God through ethnic cleansing. Many people will give their physical lives as martyrs for the Kingdom of God.

At this time the people are told to remember the place of the Name of the Lord of Host and to remember Mount Zion. This seems to be the clarion call for all to come into unity and return to dwell in the Holy Land. Remember Jerusalem.

Some additional comments:

Test every Bible teacher according to what the Bible actually says:

If I have taken anything out of context, or if I have distorted any word, then I am wrong, but other bible teachers should also be judged the same way. Traditional Bible teachers have looked at Isaiah 18 in connection with Ethiopia and the events in the 7th century B.C. and I have looked at this as a prophetic chapter applying to 2000 A.D.

What Zondervan Red Letter Study Bible says about

Isaiah 18:
The headline to chapter 18 states: “An Oracle about Ethiopia”. Then the commentary below states: V-1 Ethiopia or Cush was south of Egypt, its king at that time rules all of Egypt. He evidently had sent messengers to Israel in order to seek an elegance against Assyria. V-2 God himself would defeat the Assyrian enemy in his own time. V- 3-6 After the Assyrian defeat the people of Cush would bring gifts to Jerusalem.
What the Ryrie Study Bible says about Isaiah 18:
The Headline to Chapter 18 states: “Against Ethiopia”. Then the commentary below states: V-1 Scattered and peeled. Better. Tall and Smooth, the appearance of the Ethiopian Dynasty established in about 714 B.C. pursued an anti- Assyrian policy similar to Hezekiah. Isaiah warns against being involved in an Ethiopian Alliance.

My comment on there comment is, I cannot see any truth in there comments. This is not because they are intentionally lying but because they will not change from traditional teaching. The churches make people believe they are not able to understand on there own and need the church leaders to explain Bible truths to the flock.
I am convinced every word of the Bible is true, but much of what is taught about the Bible is false because they think it is a sin to question or teach differently than the established doctrine.

If the Bible is written by man why should anyone believe it is the Word of God? Especially in this day and age?

I will try to tell you why. Take a New Look at the Bible.

The Bible is a book of books. The Bible is made up of 66 books. There are 39 Old Testament Books and 27 New Testament Books all combined into the book we call the Holy Bible.

The Bible is made up of all types of literature.

It is made up of letters, statistical information, Historical information, books of wisdom, books of songs, and dictations from God himself.

The Bible is a unique book in many ways. It was written over a period of about 1,500 years, and it was written by at least 40 different individual authors. Yet all of these books by different authors have a common theme and speak of past, present and future events from the times they were written. At first reading it may seem that there are contradictions in the Bible.

But when we understand God’s plan from the beginning, we see that God set a standard of Law that was nothing less than perfection. His standard was impossible for man to keep. Yet God placed himself under the law in the order that he upheld the law. One of the purposes of the law was to show mankind that they could not keep the law and according to God’s standard if any one broke even one of God’s laws it was equal to breaking them all.

To receive eternal life it was necessary to be perfect. There was no way man kind could be perfect. So how can anyone be saved?

God told Moses when Moses wrote the Laws of God that there was a way to be forgiven for breaking the law and that was by sacrificing a lamb on the alter and sacrificing the blood for the forgiveness of sin. Under the Laws of Moses the most perfect lamb of each families herd must be sacrificed once every year on an alter before God to be cleansed from sin.

So we find the New Testament is the inheritance of a way of salvation for any who believe. Jesus was born of a virgin woman with the inception of the Holy Spirit. This

The Bible is written by men. Why would you believe it is from God?

Jesus is the actual Son of God. Jesus was born with out the sin nature of man because his genetics mix with God eliminated the sin nature.

Jesus was able to live a sinless life.

So the inheritance of Jesus is a gift to man kind from God. Jesus is the son of God and called the Lamb of God because this was God’s plan from the beginning that he himself would provide a sacrifice that would satisfy his own law permanently, not for only one year. So from the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross we entered into a period of Grace that was not available before.

So the bottom line is that when we understand these things properly we find there is a reason for a difference between the Old and New Testament’s and I see no contradiction in the Bible.

What these authors of the Bible have written is remarkable and speaks with authority of the known and unknown as well as unknowable. They speak uncompromisingly about mankind's accomplishments and failures, of the past, the present and the future.

These men felt they were being led by the inner feeling of the Holy Spirit to write, without the full understanding of what the words would mean to future generations. They were writing beyond their own writings and understandings.

The combinations of these writings of all the different authors written at different times in history, flow into a stream of inspiration, and revelation.

These men were common ordinary me who wrote the Bible and had no idea of how the word’s they wrote would effect future generations. If you were to ask these men what is the meaning of what you wrote, and when will it happen? They might reply by saying, “I have heard the word of God and I have written what I was told, now I must leave it up to God for whatever purpose because that is all I know”.

The Bible is the word of God not because Godly men wrote the Bible but because they wrote what they heard from God and left everything else to God. None of them had the whole picture. God only prophesies in parts and bits, but all the 66 books of the Bible is written with the story of life and truth that leads to eternal life from eternity past to eternity future.

Yes I do believe the Bible speaks of reincarnation.

2 Timothy 3:16
16. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for proof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

The Bible is God breathed. In other words scripture is God produced. God used these men and their own individual personalities in revealing to mankind his thoughts and words he wanted to speak.

Who can say that God is not doing something similar today?

2 Peter 1:20-21
20. Knowing this first that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man; but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Jesus himself spoke of the scriptures and how they could be trusted. He was speaking of Old Testament Scripture when He said;

Matthew 5:18
18. For Verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

The jot is the smallest Hebrew letter. A tittle is a very small extension, similar to that of dotting an "i" that distinguishes the difference between similar letters in the Hebrew alphabet.

The point the Lord was making is that every word of the Old Testament is vital and will be fulfilled.

The Bible's 66 books contain 1,189 chapters, and 31,173 verses. There seems to be a concentrated focus on Psalms 117:, Psalms 118:, and Psalms 119:

The shortest chapter with the least amount written of the Bible is Psalm 117, and the larges chapter with the most amount written is chapter 119:

Between the smallest chapter of the Bible and the Largest Chapter of the Bible lies the central verse of the Bible. This is located in the center of the Bible, with 594 verses from Genesis 1:1 to Psalms 118:8. There are also 594 verses from Psalms 118:8 to Revelation 22:21.

The First verse in the Bible is Genesis 1:1.

1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

The central verse in the entire Bible is Psalms 118.8

8. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.

The very last verse spoken in the Bible is Revelation 22:21.

21. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

These three verses speak of the Bible in the simplest of terms.

With only 23 words these verses speak of the theme of the Bible.

1. From the creation of heavens and earth, to wisdom and seeking the spiritual rather than the fleshly.
2. Then ends with the creator and the giver of life saying Grace, be with you all. A statement of the death, Love and sacrifice by the Lord Jesus.

The Bible seems to focus like the bull’s eye of a target upon the 118th Psalm. The center of the bull’ eye is the 8th verse.

"It is better to Trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man". Think of this, listening to man you have millions of opinions and man made religions. Where do you end up? Confused. If you trust the Lord and his word you have eternal life.

Is there any clearer word that could define the Bible than these?

There is something more about the center of the Bible.

The 118th Psalm also speaks of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Great Pyramid of Giza also seems to be a code of the whole Bible.

The Pyramid of Giza seems to be the words of all creation and history and prophecy of the earth written in stone.

The Pyramid points to the Bible and the Bible points to the Pyramid.

The 118th Psalm speaks of the Pyramid in speaking about the chief Corner stone. A chief corner stone can only refer to a pyramid and the Pyramid of Giza is the only one located at the central point of the entire land area of the earth. It is also the only pyramid with the chief corner stone missing.

This is referring to Jesus Christ in the 118th Psalm the chief corner stone that the builders rejected. The Pyramid of Giza is the structure speaking the same message in stone.

It was recently discovered By Dr. Eliyahu Rips that there is a hidden code in the Bible. It appears to reveal the events that are taking place and have taken place thousands of years after the Bible was written.

Dr. Rips discovered that the 5 books of the Old Testament known to Jewish people as the Torah are encoded from beginning to end. Revealed within the words that connect was the telling of a hidden story.

Each code is revealed through a spacing of letters. As you skip a given number of spaces you take the letter and place it to other letters in the order of the same spacing.

As these letters are added together they form words that give revealing information.

This is a simple description, but it is more than just a simple skip code. It also has other dimensions.

By crisscrossing, going in various directions, forward, and backwards it goes through the entire scriptures within these five books written by Moses.

Hidden under the original Hebrew of the Old Testament there seems to be a network of words and phrases that give new revelation.

All spaces between words are eliminated between the words. A computer searches that strand of letters by the skip code. It starts at the first letter of the Bible and looks for every possible skip sequence.

The Bible seems to have many such codes. In the original Hebrew language the Old Testament was written so each letter of the alphabet is also the symbol of one of the numerical numbers. So this is also the language making up the numbering system. Adding the numbers together may be an entirely new code to be discovered in our understanding, as we will discover in Isaiah 19:19.

Isaiah 19:19
19. In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord.

1. The 30 words of this verse written in Hebrew have a numerical total of the sum of 5,449.
2. It is a fact that that the distance between the north and the south poles divided by 500 million equals 5,449.
3. The number of Pyramid inches from the base of the pyramid to the summit platform of the pyramid is 5449.

It is interesting that this 19the verse of the 19th chapter is in the 22nd book of the Bible.

This same number combination converted to the 19th book of the Bible to the 118th chapter and the 22nd verse seems to connect to the other.

As if 19 and 22 were a clue to some type of numerical index system of Bible revelation.

I have also noticed similarities with other numbers.
We have discovered how all the similarities connect to just one verse of the 31,173 verses in the Bible. This leads me to believe that all the other 31,172 verses may also have similar hidden knowledge coded into them also.

So what is the depth, height, and width of the knowledge of the Bible. The Bible itself says that it must be studied line upon line and precept upon precept.

Isaiah 28:9-11
9. Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.

We now see that the Bible seems to be multi-dimensional. Supernaturally put together by these more than 40 authors over a 1,500 year period. The Bible actually seems to be structured as one would expect a complicated computer.

We have 31,173 verses that contain many more concepts. Even one single verse has many possible meanings and combinations of precepts.

Many possible variations such as skip sequences and conversion to numbers from letter may reveal a new meaning.

We see the Bible mentioning this type of code system used in the last days as a sign for this generation in the book of Revelation. This is not a sign to recognize in the Bible but as sign to recognize in the world. I believe anyone with wisdom sees signs of this sign.

Revelation 13:16-18
16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bound, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it's the number of a man; and the number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Thank you for reading this! This is my statement of understanding.

Is the Pyramid of Gisa what the Bible says it is, A testimony of Bible Truths?
Posted By: GLarrabee

http://www.rumormillnews.com/pix4/animated2Pyramid_of_Giza.gif

The great pyramid seems to be an architectural symbol for planet earth. The pyramid's geometry combines all the data into an elegant identification of planet earth, and expresses meaning in how they relate to each other in foretelling past, present, and future events.
The great pyramid of Giza is easily the most massive building ever known to have been erected on earth. There is no building more accurately aligned to the true cardinal points on the compass. The pyramid stones, weighing up to 70 tons each, are finely joined to a degree of 1/50th of an inch; Roughly the thickness of one hair on your head. The base of the structure covers 13 acres of land.

Nobody alive today knows for certain how the pyramid was erected, how long it took to build, or how it’s near perfect alignments were achieved. It is aligned with the earth's four cardinal points, and at the exact center of the Earth and the center of the geometrical quadrant formed by the Nile Delta. It is located at the exact center of the earth's land surface. This is the geographical center of the whole land mass including the Americas, and Antarctica.

The measurements of the inner passages and dimensions of various rooms are written in a coded mathematical language that is exactly the same to every earthly language, needing no translation. These measurements give the dates and times of specific future events. The messianic triangle for example began with the birth of Christ in 2 BC, and his crucifixion in 33 AD opened the grand gallery or the way, the truth, and the life to all people.

The basic unit of measurement is exactly one ten millionth of the earth's mean polar radius. The pyramid's designed square base has a side measuring 365.242 of the same units. This figure is identical to the number of days in a solar year.

Other figures give the earth's orbital distance around the sun and the exact distance from the earth to the sun, and the period of cycle over 25,000 years.

The great pyramid seems to be an architectural symbol for planet earth. The pyramid's geometry combines all the data into an elegant identification of planet earth, and expresses meaning in how they relate to each other in foretelling past, present, and future events.

It appears from these measurements that the pyramid was built in 2623 BC, and was symbolized by the beginning entry into the pyramid. It is thought by most Bible scholars that the flood occurred about 2400 BC. So the pyramid was probably built before the flood by people whose knowledge was beyond what technology shows us today. At the time when people lived approximately ten times longer than the age span of people today, and were able to expand their learning by the same extended period.

It appears that the pyramid is a monument or witness, carefully planned and premeditated for some future generations after a great deluge, or world catastrophe.

Was the Pyramid Built by to be a record of knowledge Enoch received on a 30 day visit to heaven?

I believe this may be the case because of a fragment of early literature came to light through certain manuscripts found in Russia and Serbia, preserved only in the Slavonic language.

These are widely know today as “The Secrets of Enoc”. Within these writings, of the secrets of Enoch is an overview of creation and a dramatization of eternity. Included are accounts of the mechanism of the world showing the machinery of the sun and moon.

Enoch, according to these writings was taken to heaven, shown the great secrets of God, and over a 60 day period wrote 366 books. Enoch is then returned to earth for 30 days to give instruction to his sons and his children's children. After 30 days he was taken back to heaven.

It appears that the pyramid may be a record of knowledge Enoch revealed to his sons. The pyramid could be a structure built by Enoch's sons to record for future generations a testimony and monument of the Lord and His secrets.

Inside the pyramid there is a system of rising, descending and horizontal passages linking a number of chambers with various dimensions, angles and slopes recorded in stone.

This message is not written in any language, needing translation, but is expressible in mathematics. Mathematics is the only true universal language. The revealed message is in terms of a mathematical code.

The mathematical code connects to the many truths of the Bible and attaches itself to scripture recorded in the 19th and 20th verses of Isaiah 19.

Isaiah 19:19,20
19. In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord.
20. And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord.

In the Hebrew language the letter symbols of the language are also the same symbols as numbers. The 30 words of Isaiah 19:19 in Hebrew have a sum total of 5,449. This is the total numerically of Isaiah 19:19. The distance between the north and the south poles boring through the earth divided by 500 million equals 5,449. The number of pyramid inches from the base of the pyramid to the summit platform of the pyramid is 5,449.

The shortest chapter with the least amount written of the Bible is Psalm 117:, and the larges chapter with the most amount written is chapter 119:

Between the smallest chapter of the Bible and the Largest Chapter of the Bible lies the central verse of the Bible. This is located in the center of the Bible, with 594 verses from Genesis 1:1 to Psalms 118:8. There are also 594 verses from Psalms 118:8 to Revelation 22:21.

The 118th Psalm also speaks of the Pyramid of Giza. The Pyramid of Giza also seems to be a code of the whole Bible.

The Pyramid of Giza seems to be the words of creation and history and prophecy of the earth written in stone.

The Pyramid points to the Bible and the Bible points to the Pyramid.

The 118th Psalm speaks of the Pyramid in speaking about the chief Corner stone. A chief corner stone can only refer to a pyramid and the Pyramid of Giza is the only one located at the central point of the entire land area of the earth. It is also the only pyramid with the chief corner stone missing.

This is referring to Jesus Christ in the 118th Psalm the chief corner stone that the builders rejected. The Pyramid of Giza is the structure speaking the same message in stone.

The point of beginning in the descending passage is marked by two straight lines perpendicular to the floor of the descending passage. Recent astronomical research has revealed that these lines were aligned with the Star Alcyone of the Pleades, in the constellation of Taurus the bull, at noon of the spring equinox., or noon on March 21, 2141 BC.

This is the start of the prophecy and the messianic blue print that starts coming from 2141 B.C.

Measuring from the starting point of 2141 BC and moving forward 688 pyramid inches or 688 years, we come to an ascending passage. This marks the passage date o 1453 B.C. This is the probably the exact date of the beginning of the Exodus out of Egypt led by Moses.

The entry of the ascending passage is blocked by three granite plugs. These granite plugs symbolize the super natural. They seem to stand for the pass-over, parting of the Red Sea, and giving of the Ten Commandments. So the exact date the Exodus began is probably March 30, 1453 BC. The red granite of these plugs is only identical to the granite found on Mount Horeb.

From the entry of the ascending to the floor of the queens chamber, or what is called the Messianic triangle, equal to April 1, 2 BC. The date of the birth of Christ. Then measuring from the Exodus on March 30, 1453 BC. 1485 pyramid inches, or 1485 years comes to the top of the messianic triangle, which in Pyramid inches is April 1, 33 A.D. this seems to reveal the exact date the Lord was crucified.

The ascending passage increases by 77" on April 1, 33 AD into the grand gallery. This was the day that Grace began and a new way to be saved by simply believing in Jesus. This is the date that the Law of God was fulfilled by Christ dying on the cross.

Traveling up the ascending passage there are three limestone girdle stones which appear to be obstacles. Each girdle stone is preceded by markers. Two of these markers are on the west wall and one on the east wall. They seem to signify that the first and the third obstacle are separated from the middle obstacle as east is separated from west.

The apparent dates are 7th century B.C. for the first Girdle and the 3rd century B.C. for the third girdle. The middle or second girdle marked on the east wall is the 5th century B.C.

The events of this historical time recorded in scripture are:
1. The first girdle = 722 BC. The ten northern tribes of Israel are taken captive into Assyria for a 390 year siege.
2. The second girdle = 586 BC. Judah, Benjamin and Levi, the southern tribes are taken into Babylon. They returned home in 536 BC and some with Ezra in 458 BC to their home land.
3. The third girdle = 332 BC. The end of the 390 year siege of the ten northern tribes by Alexander the Great when he over took the Persian Empire. Later I will explain how this relates to finding out who the 10 lost tribes are.

The end of the ascending passage expands into the grand gallery on the first of April 33, AD. This indicates the date that our Lord Jesus was crucified on the cross. Marking back down the ascending passage to the floor of the queen's chamber and the floor of the descending passage, they meet on the 27th of September 2 BC signifying the birth of Christ.

Because of the angle of the ascending passage, it meets with a horizontal passage at 2 BC, the date of 33 BC forms a triangle by drawing a line from the ascending passage to the floor of the queen's chamber. If we were to drawn a line from the floor of the messianic triangle points directly to the city of Bethlehem, the city where Jesus was born.

286.1 pyramid inches seems to be a very important measurement. The examples are listed below.
1. The ascending passage roof level expands on April 1, 33, AD by 286.1 pyramid inches.
The 286.1 pyramid inches figure is the measurement of eight things. This is Probably the sign of new beginnings.
2. The offset distance from the center of the north wall to enter the descending passage to the east.
3. This is also the distance by which the axis of the passage system lies to the east of the axis of the pyramid itself.
4. This is the same exact measurement that the ascending passage increases in the grand gallery of enlightenment.
5. This is the exact measurement of an open and empty coffin in the king's chamber.
6. This is the exact measurement of the missing headstone.
7. This is the exact measurement that Moses gave for the construction of the Ark of the covenant.
8. The exact measurement from the messianic triangle to the wall shaft that leads to the subterranean chamber is exactly 1/8 of the 286.1. This well shaft is the sign of Christ descending into hell to free the old testament saints while His body spent three days in the rich man's tomb.
9. This is the exact measurement of the distance from the horizontal passage to the subterranean chamber; back up the descending passage to the well shaft or way of escape to the grand gallery.

Every place where the figure of 286.1 is measured in the pyramid it seems to lead to a sign of enlightenment, resurrection and life.

The pyramid inch is slightly different from the British inch; it's about the thickness of one half of a single hair. This is the measurement used in building the Ark of the covenant, the tabernacle in the wilderness, Solomon's Temple and the Temple that Ezekiel describes in chapters 40 through 46 in his book.

This message of the pyramid is written in stone.

The pyramid message is a universal message of enlightenment without labels, traditions, or doctrines.

To me this is further evidence of the truths of the Bible. The problem I see with the world view of the Bible to me is that they base the Bible on what believers of the Bible say about the Bible. For instance many traditional believers say Bible says the earth is only about 6,000 years old. I think I can show that the Bible says the earth is many millions of years old if it is read correctly. I will try to explain this at a later date.

Not for the poor and lowly. If you are Very Rich maybe you should read on.
Posted By: GLarrabee
Date: Friday, 21 September 2007, 11:08 p.m.

If you are poor meek and lowly skip this. But if you are rich or very Rich maybe you should read this.

The Bible says it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Is it impossible for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God?

The meaning of the eye of the needle may have been different in that day than how we understand it today. A ninth century writer says the wall around Jerusalem had built into it a small opening that a man could enter the city through if he were caught outside the city after dark when all the gates were closed for protection. This small opening to re-enter the city was called the eye of the needle. For a camel to go through this small opening it was necessary to unload the camel, and have him go down on his knees and crawl through the small opening.

Whether this is the correct meaning is not clear, because it is my understanding that no such opening has been discovered in the wall by archaeological research. It is clear to me however that the meaning given by Jesus was a spiritual meaning and not physical.

To answer this question we will begin with the example of the young ruler, in the eighteenth chapter of the book of Luke. He was a man of good conduct, not a bad person before God. He had kept all the commandments, and had shown due respect to the Lord Jesus by calling Him a good teacher. And I'm sure the Lord Jesus considered him quite precious, for to meet such a person then, just as today, was quite rare. Looking upon him Jesus loved him.

However, the Lord set down one requirement. If anyone desires to serve him, he must be perfect.

The Lord said, If thou be perfect; one thing thou lackest.

From this example we can see, the Lord wants those who follow him, to follow him perfectly, not lacking anything. He needed to sell all his property and distribute the proceeds to the poor. Then the way would be clear for him to come and follow the Lord.

Men may hoard wealth, but they cannot hoard happiness. As they accumulate wealth above their needs, they also accumulate trouble. Wealth and sorrow seem to always go together; to keep great wealth is to keep sorrow. Those who are greedy of material things dwell with sorrow.

When the Lord stated to this rich young ruler, that to be perfect and follow him, he should give his wealth to the poor; the rich young ruler turned and walked away.

Having watched the young ruler depart sorrowfully, the Lord added a comment. How shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God? The first question the young ruler asked was, What must I do to have eternal life? This is related, but not the same as entering into the Kingdom of God.

As impossible as it is for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle, so it is equally impossible for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When Peter heard these words, he asked, Then who can be saved? Peter evidently didn't feel good about this.

The Lord answered with one sentence, and in this sentence lies the real issue. The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

The Lord Himself acknowledged this as humanly impossible.

God knows it is impossible for men to sell all that they have and give it to the poor. The young ruler could not abandon all, but God can do it. In other words, the Lord was prepared to give grace to the young man, if he had only said, O Lord, I cannot abandon my wealth, but give me grace. What is impossible with me is possible with you. Enable me to do what I am unable to do.

Man's failure is not due to his weakness, but to his not accepting God's strength. He cannot do it, but why not let God deliver him? The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

Therefore, let us see that there is always a way no matter how wealthy a man may be. If we can forsake all as Peter did, we should thank God for that. But if we feel hesitant, as the young ruler did, then there is yet another way open to us. We merely need to bow our heads, and say to the Lord, I cannot, and he will undertake for us.

When God is at work the camel passes through the needle's eye. With the rich young ruler a camel walks around the needle's eye hesitantly and fails to go through. For the world, selling all is madness. Let us learn not to be rooted in the world, but to hold things loosely. To be delivered from the things of the world is not a small matter. How stingy are people of the world. How many are the miserly people. They are closed fisted not only in big things, but also in small things as well.

We as God's people must learn to be liberal toward others. Whether or not we actually sell our property and give to the poor, the sentiment is the same. We must be willing to share with others. Let us hold out nothing, even small things. We need to let all things go. If we obey this, God will not suffer us to have less. He will even give us more.
