Not all eclipses fit into Bible prophesy, but when they fall at a prophetic cycle in history and on specific Hebraic calendar dates it is a time to watch and pray. Jesus did not tell us to ‘speculate’, but He did tell us to ‘watch and pray’ and that is what I am doing.

Some of the verses where we or the disciples were told to ‘watch and pray’ are Deuteronomy 11:16; Matthew 24:42-47; 25:5; 26:38-44, 56, 69-75; Mark 13:33-37; 14:34-39, 41-44; Luke 12:37-40, 41-44; 21:34-36; Ephesians 5:143:10-14; 2 Peter 3:10-14; I Thessalonians 5:4-8; Romans 13:11; Revelation 3:1-3; 16:15.

One Greek word for watch is gregoreo, and it means to give strict attention to. It is used 23 times in the KJV New Testament, ‘watch’ 21 times, ‘wake’ and ‘be vigilant’ each once. We in the Gulf Coast are familiar with Hurricane watch and warnings and know what to look for, when to pay more attention to the weather forecasts. We should give the same heed to what we are to watch for, those prophesies of the Last Days that are yet to come.

Genesis 1:14, “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.” Since the Old Testament is written in Hebrew, we need to get a Hebrew mindset of what each of the purposes of the Sun, Moon, fixed stars and wandering stars mean.

  • Signs– owth, Lexicon states ‘signs of the times’, ‘token of the truth of prophesy’, ‘foretells of some minor event, the fulfillment of which serves as a sign or proof of the future fulfillment of the whole prophesy’
  • Seasons – moedim, fixed appointed times on God’s calendar, God’s Day Timer. The word ‘feast’ in Leviticus is this same word, ‘a fixed appointment with God’
  • Daysyom, days, exactly what it means. But in the Hebrew mindset, there are specific ‘holy’ days that God intends for them to keep separate, such as the 7th day of the week – Sabbath. Also Sabbaths of each month, the first day of the month, etc, These holy days, intended to keep separate and designated by the cycle of the moon.
  • Yearsshaneh, years, exactly what it means. However, in a Jewish mindset these years that are the most important are the Jubilees and Sabbath land rests. The cycle of the sun and moon with the cycle of the constellations determine each year.

When the Jews wanted to know what day there were on the month, they looked at the heavens. When they wanted to know what Feast of the Lord was coming, they looked at the heaven. Does God change? No! Malachi 3:6 states “For I am the LORD, I change not.” Things will still be on earth, as it is in heaven.

We are going to be looking at specific heavenly events on God’s calendar that will on happen specific, very important historical dates and Feast Days.

The first one is The Great American Eclipse of August 21st. It falls on the day before the first day of the month of Elul. The first of Elul to the 10th of Tishri are very important dates on the Hebrew calendar, days of repentance that prepare us for the High Holy Days. For this reason, I will be referring to this eclipse as a Teshuvah Eclipse, referring to the opening of the 40 days of Repentance.

The second heavenly sign is September 23, with an alignment in heaven that lines up with Revelation 12:1-2. This heavenly alignment has never happened before in history! This falls on a weekly Sabbath, but also follows the day after the 2 day Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah.

The third sign in the heaven will occur October 12 with Asteroid 2012 TC4. This day on God’s Day Timer is on Shemini Atzeret, the Eighth Day Assembly. This is the 8th day of the Feast of Tabernacles and is treated as a special holy day.

I am going to break down each of these heavenly events in the next few weeks so you can see how important it is to ‘watch and pray’. Don’t speculate and have Rapture practice, but understand this is a specific time to be more alert and more attentive to what God is saying in your prayer time.

 

 

Monday, February 11, 2013, I was busy getting ready for a 2-day workshop in my home that would begin at 10am. Just before 9am I stepped out of my bedroom and the Holy Spirit spoke very clearly to me “You have a short window of time to get the update of the signs in the heavens to as many people as possible”. That startled me, to put it mildly.  A few moments later I turned on 700 Club to listen to the first few minutes of news. Pat Robertson announced that Friday of that week, a large asteroid was coming into our atmosphere that may interfere with the satellite that affected the power supply on the US east coast and western Europe. His next announcement was that Pope Benedict resigned, the first Pope to resign in 600 years. Within 5 minutes, I was given a new assignment to ‘watch and pray’.

The next morning I was busy getting ready for the second day of our workshop and I was smelling smoke and looking for the fire. The ladies helping me could not smell anything, but it was real to me. The smell went away and I soon forgot about it. Before breaking for lunch, a pastor friend sent me a text to ask my guest speaker why she was waking at 4am smelling smoke and her husband smelled nothing. It was too much of a coincidence to ignore. My guest minister said we were being directed by God to pray, even if we did not have all the details.

That Friday it was announced that Asteroid DA14, located 17,000 miles above the earth, was no threat. HOWEVER, no one saw the Meteorite coming that exploded 12 miles above what is known as “the most polluted area on the planet”,  Chelyabinsk, Russia.The surrounding area has a history of being a nuclear disaster area and many parts were not open to habitation until 45 years ago.

That 65′ meteor came in at 42,900 mph which is 60 times the speed of sound. The explosion was 30 times brighter than the sun and many observers were instantly sunburned. The blast had 20-30 amount of energy than the atomic bomb of Hiroshima and 1,500 people were injured from broken glass, several people were knocked down by the sonic boom. 7,200 buildings were damaged, with windows broken and window frames pushed in. One fragment was 1,300 pounds and was recovered from a nearby lake.

Mark 13:25 states, “the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.” No one saw the meteor happen, it caught them completely by surprise. If that meteor had actually landed in that city it would have destroyed the entire city, and I believe nuclear waste would have spread for thousands of miles. I believe that is what we were to pray for, to stand in the gap to avert disaster coming from the meteor.

Back to the Pope: I have never had any problems with the Catholic church or the Vatican. I have never even been vaguely interested in studying anything about the Popes, but now I was going to look into it closer! It turns out that the next pope would be the 112th Pope of St Malachy’s prophesy of 1139. As I looked into the history of the prophetic words given to each of the 112 popes of his prophecy I saw some interesting ‘signs in the heavens’. For instance, 1978 being ‘the year of the popes’, with 3 different popes in 1 year.

1978 saw the death of Pope Paul VI (8/6/78). Malachy’s prophetic word for him was “Flower of the Flowers” and his coat of arms had 3 fleur-de-lis. Pope John Paul I, was elected 8/26/78. His prophetic words were “From the midst of the moon“. He was elected on ‘half a moon’ and died 33 days later (9/28/78) on ‘half a moon’.  Pope John Paul II was elected 10/16/78 and his prophetic word was “From the labor of the sun“. He was born 5/18/20 during a partial solar eclipse over the Indian Ocean and buried 4/8/05 during a rare ‘hybrid’ eclipse over South America and the Pacific. Pope John Paul II was very instrumental with President Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbechev to bring about the greatest political changes in modern history, the end of Communism (for a short period) and the end of the Berlin Wall that divided Germany.

St Malachy’s prophecy about the 112th pope had the most words of all the prophesies. “In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulation, after which the City of Seven Hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The end.”

COMET PanSTARRS, the first comet of the Century, could be seen with a naked eye over Rome as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina was elected 3/13/13 at 8:13am.  He chose the name Pope Francis I, after Francis of Assisi, a lover of nature, humble, kind and unassuming.

Throughout the centuries, every empire has had an understanding of comets. Comets were recorded as a world leader came into power or left power, or prior to wars or prophetic events. (see my blog of 9/25/11, Significant Comets Connection to Historic Events)

Pope Francis I  was the first pope elected from the Americas and the first Jesuit pope. The Jesuits, The Society of Jesus, was founded in 1534 by Ignatius of Loyola and is a military branch of the Vatican to defend the faith and formed for ‘counter-reformation‘, to bring people out of Martin Luther’s reformation and back to the Catholic faith. They took a strict vow of poverty and total obedience to the Pope. Rule 13 of the Society of Jesus states, “That we may be altogether of the same mind and in conformity…if [the Church] shall have defined anything to be black which our eyes appears to be white, we ought to like manner pronounce it black.” This militant society was known as  the ‘storm troopers’ of the Catholic church and became greatly feared in Europe.

Personally, Pope Francis I concerns me for the fact that many Bible believing Christians and leaders are now turning back to the Catholic church. It is public knowledge that Ulf Ekman, pastor of Sweden’s largest church and founder of Scandinavia’s leading Bible college has left his pastorate and joined the Catholic church. He now states that ‘We need what the Lord has given to the Catholic Church to live fully as Christians.’

Berlin has now built the first church building for Chrislam, joining Christians with Islam.

There is so much I can say about this entire subject and my latest CD of the Vatican Agenda can be ordered from our website, http://www.KenBostromMinistries.org for $10 plus s/h.

Brothers and sisters, I beg you to get your foundation secure of who you are in Christ. Do not be deceived by this End Time message of inclusion. Apostle Paul would have written a strong letter to the Church of today, but we can find his words given to his spiritual son Timothy as recorded in I Timothy 4:1, “Now the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of devils.”

Do not be deceived! The first warning Jesus gave us for the Last Days is found in Matthew 24:4, “And Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Take heed that no one deceives you”.

Pope Francis I stated in his homily at Eurcharist in Pauline Chapel in Rome April 23, 2013, “and so the Church as a Mother, the Mother of more children, of many children… A Mother that gives us the faith, a Mother who gives us an identity. Because it is not possible to find Jesus outside the Church... and the Mother Church that gives us Jesus gives us our identity that is not only a seal; it is a belonging.” The Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 181 states, ‘Believing is an ecclesial act. The Church is the mother of all believers. No one can find God as Father who does not have the Church as Mother.’

This End-Time Agenda of the Catholic church was fully seen in Pope Francis’s recent trip to Israel where he repeatedly stated “The State of Palestine”, and emboldened the Palestinians to fight for their statehood in Israel. There is not enough room for me to state my full message on this blog but the total, complete message is available on the 2 CD audio set online.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is coming to Washington DC on Sushan Purim. Hmmm. Interesting timing!

The Holiday of Purim is the celebration of God overturning the decree of wicked Haman to kill all the Jews in 127 provinces as recorded in the Book of Esther. Not just to kill all the Jews, but to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day. The celebration is to ‘remember’ how God answered their prayers and saved them from destruction. Such a wonderful reason to celebrate! Sushan Purim is the 2nd day of Purim celebrated outside the city.

But there are still those who want to see Israel wiped off the map, pushed into the sea.

I was working on my Signs in the Heavens manuals today for an upcoming meeting and an old article from Greg Killian caught my eye. It was an article from March 11, 1998 about a giant asteroid that was expected to hit the earth in 2028 and it was retracted the next day. The amazing thing about my eye catching the article is that March 11 that year was Purim and it was retracted on Sushan Purim.

Greg Killian wrote “Purim is a celebration of the concealed hand of God, when everything is not as it appears to be. This asteroid report follows this theme perfectly. I strongly suspect that we were being warned in a way which will not cause panic. If you want to learn more, go and study about Purim.” Greg is still teaching online about Biblical Signs in the Heavens on betemunah.org.

Asteroid QQ47 was found in 2003 and expected to hit the earth March 21, 2014. They later retracted that calculation, saying it had changed position.

Still, pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May President Obama not make any unholy alliances with Mr Abbas.

Heads Up! Another asteroid passes earth tonight.

Tonight’s heavenly viewing is 1998 QE2 and is the size of nine Cruise ships and the size of the Golden Gate Bridge!! Now that’s big!

This asteroid will be pass approximately 3.6  million miles from earth tonight. According to NASA’s Near Earth Object Program will not be this close to earth again for 200 years.

This asteroid has its own moon accompanying it and is 2000 feet wide and spins itself once very 4 hours.

Asteroid-1998-QE2

The last significant asteroid to pass earth was on February 15 of this year. 2012 DA14, as it is known, passed earth 17,200 miles away. Everyone was watching for the asteroid, but no one saw the meteorite that exploded 12 miles above Russia that same day!

Tonight when it passes will be Sivan 23, 5773 on the Hebrew Calendar.  On this day in 355 BCE, Haman’s edict for destroying the Jewish people was overturned. The date is mentioned three times in the Book of Esther, read every year on Purim. On this day in 1962, the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed the New York State Regent’s Prayer in public schools, on the grounds that it violated the separation of Church and State. The New York State board of education had approved the following 22-word “nondenominational prayer” for recitation each morning in public schools: “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our country.” The board of education believed that the prayer would help students develop good character and good citizenship. Although reciting the prayer was optional for each student, a group of parents objected, and the case went all the way to the Supreme Court. Organizations such as the American Jewish Congress supported the ban — due to centuries of religious persecution, Jews tend to oppose government involvement in religion. One of the most ominous reactions came from the Jesuit publication, America, which warned Jews that their involvement in these cases could incite anti-Semitism in American society. The majority Supreme Court opinion held that “classroom invocation of God’s blessings… is a religious activity.” The dissenting opinion pointed out that each day’s session of the Supreme Court starts with the invocation, “God save the United States and this Honorable Court,” that the Pledge of Allegiance contains the words “one Nation under God,” and that every dollar bill bears the words, “In God we Trust.” (www.aish.com)

To which I say, “In God I Trust!” As the sun goes down and the asteroid comes into view, Shabbat Shalom.
