If you are concerned about rightly dividing the word of God, then you are involved with a subject biblical scholars call hermeneutics. According to Dr. A. Berkley Mickelsen, hermeneutics “designates both the science and art of interpretation. The Greek verb hermeneuo means ‘to interpret or explain.’ The Greek noun hermeneia means ‘interpretation.’ In both the Greek counterpart and the contemporary technical term, interpretation has to do with meaning” (A.B. Mickelsen, Interpreting the Bible, page 3).
BREAKING PROPHECY ALERT: THE BEAR RAPTURE PROPHECY UPDATE – GLOBALISTS PREPARING RUSSIA FOR MILITARY BEAR STRIKE ON THE VINEYARD
International geopolitical tensions between the United States/NATO and Russia have escalated quite dramatically in more recent days. More specifically, earlier this month. As readers of this site may also be aware in matters of Bible prophecy fulfillment, we do know that from the plain surface reading of scripture that there is a possible major military exchange between America with its allies and Russia, which can be found in the notorious end times prophecy found in the book of Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39, called the war of Gog/Magog. This war, or military conflict, is said to involve Israel being invaded as well. Although there are some who disagree with this narrative, this is the general consensus among most Bible prophecy scholars.
However, in this posting, I wish to revisit a hidden or cryptic prophecy that was expounded upon in a previous article that can be found in the book of 2 Kings chapter 2 and its description of a historical event that witnessed the disappearance, or “rapture,” of the prophet Elijah that was accompanied with the theme of the bear – and more specifically, two she-bears. It is in this cryptic prophecy that we may find verification and authentication to the narrative that the war of Ezekiel 38 & 39 will involve Russia with ally Iran and America/NATO nations of the West along with Israel in the mix, as is the general consensus. If it turns out that Ezekiel 38 & 39 are not what scholars generally identify as a Russian war against Israel and the West in the last days, the cryptic bear rapture prophecy reference in 2 Kings 2 is, in and of itself, very intriguing and a likely scenario that points us to what is seemingly on the verge of playing out here today in these end times.
As we read the passage, we discover that the two bears attacked and mauled 42 young men who were mocking Elisha, who himself was walking along side Elijah when he disappeared. In a further detailed look at this historic event, one will find some compelling and intriguing evidence that the Elijah rapture event in ancient Israel seems to be a prophetic template of what will happen in our immediate future today on a global scale that will be accompanied with the theme of a bear striking the modern Vineyard of the U.S.A. (Matthew 21:33-43). As we all know, the symbol of Russia is a bear. Given that the 2 Kings 2 narrative involves two bears, we may also assume that along with Russia will be its ally Iran, which is ancient Persia that shared the emblem of a bear in the Daniel 7 description of the second beast (more on that later in this article and in part 1 of this article linked above). With that in mind, it is important to first establish the concept that what God is going to do in the future, he has already given us a prophetic typology or foreshadow of the event that occurred in the past. In other words, when considering an Old Testament typology of this clearly stated New Testament future event, it is of utmost importance to recognize that within biblical prophetic scripture, we are told that history will repeat itself. This concept is clearly stated in Ecclesiastes …
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us”(Ecclesiastes 1:9-10).
“That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past” (Ecclesiastes 3:15).
In short, for those new Christians (or those who may not be) who may not be aware, prophecy indicates that all those who are “born again” in Christ will escape a coming dreadful and dark time of seven years of judgment called the Tribulation Period that will strike the earth. Those outside of Christ will be left behind on Earth to experience this horrific and dreadful period of time. Like Elijah, those who are “in Christ,” or “born again” as a part of the corporate body of Christ will disappear in our own mass rapture event, which will be accompanied with the emergence of a very pronounced bear theme just like Elijah’s disappearance was accompanied with a bear theme. Let’s now take a look at the future prophecy of the mass disappearance of the born again Church, or body of Christ …
BREAKING PROPHECY ALERT: 7.0 EARTHQUAKE STRIKES OFF THE COAST OF TURKEY NEAR ISLAND OF PATMOS – ORIGIN OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION
A powerful 7.0 earthquake struck off the coast of Turkey in the Aegean Sea on October 30, 2020. Depending on what source you look at, the numbers of the injured vary. The number appears to be over 900 people. 28 people or more were killed. The earthquake occurred near the ancient Island of Patmos. As you may well be aware, the book of Revelation itself was written on the Island of Patmos. This earthquake is essentially an Island of Patmos earthquake.
REVELATION RIPPED OPEN 2: THE SEALS, TRUMPETS AND VIALS
After having embarked on a study of Revelation in the last few articles and covering the horrendous results of the unleashing of the seals, trumpets and vials, it would be a good idea to reveal the subtle and hidden divine structure of these judgments. These judgments are not just a chaotic and haphazard releasing with no structured procedure, it is calculated and executed with protocol. Furthermore, the hidden and intricate structured display seen within Revelation’s scripture and it’s relationship with the original Hebrew lettering of the Bible itself demonstrates the divine hand of God upon the process. It also demonstrates the validity and divine design behind this most frightful and awe-inducing book. In fact, the ground-level prophetic structural nuggets of this book were covered in part 1 of this article below:

UNLEASHING THE THREE WOE TRUMPET JUDGMENTS
As we continue our chapter by chapter study of the book of Revelation, we have just completed an examination of the previous chapter in the previous article with description of the breaking of the Seventh Seal judgment and the horrific judgments that follow. In this next chapter we will explore here in this article, we will see that the concluding verse of Revelation 8 introduces the remaining trumpets as a set of three divine judgments upon an unbelieving and unrepentant human race …
“And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! (Revelation 8:13).
Here, we see a fearful and, shall we say, dreadfully “woeful” scene unfolding. An angel begins to fly in the midst of Heaven announcing an astonishing judgment upon the earth that will shortly be delivered to it’s inhabitants who were left behind after the rapture. Continue reading “UNLEASHING THE THREE WOE TRUMPET JUDGMENTS”
BREAKING THE SEVENTH SEAL
As we have explored in the previous article dealing with the previous chapter in this chapter by chapter study of the book of Revelation, we have seen that six seals have been broken; giving us a view of what I am inclined to believe is not only just destruction as the result of war, but also destruction as the result of the pass-by of a massive planetary system called by various names, such as Planet X, Nibiru, Hercolubus and others. Alternatively, and quite possibly, the destruction described may be the result of an off-normal orbit of Planet Jupiter with it’s orbiting moons (covered in the previous article). After the sixth seal, the Apostle John presents a parenthetical passage offering a view of the martyrs of the Tribulation. We come now to the breaking of the seventh seal …
“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour” (Revelation 8:1). Continue reading “BREAKING THE SEVENTH SEAL”
PREPARING TO RIDE – THE SEALS OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE
“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder …” (Revelation 6:1).
At this point in the Revelation narrative, we have seen the Church Age come and go in the Seven Church Ages in the Dispensation of Grace. This Age of Grace concluded with the departure of all true born-again believers in Christ off of the earth in Revelation 4:1 before judgment struck the earth.
All of those who personally received Christ while on Earth during the Age of Grace are now in Heaven receiving (or in some cases losing) reward for their service performed (or not performed) for the Lord while on Earth during the time they were in their earthly bodies …
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).
With that understood, it is most interesting to observe the divine and supernaturally influenced structure of the Bible that displays a providential fingerprint of authenticity. We see that fingerprint of authenticity on clear display when reading the judgments of the book of Revelation. As such, it should make it that much more certain in anyone’s mind that these judgments are certain to come to pass according to God’s prophetic plan as displayed in this most fearful and important book. Continue reading “PREPARING TO RIDE – THE SEALS OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE”
AMERICA THE VINEYARD 2: THE KEPLER STAR SUPERNOVA AND THE PROPHETIC BIRTH OF AMERICA
“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 (Genesis 1:14).
In 1604, a new star appeared in the night sky that was much brighter than Jupiter and dimmed over several weeks. The event was witnessed by sky watchers including the famous astronomer Johannes Kepler. Centuries later, the debris from this exploded star is known as the Kepler Supernova Remnant. The year, grouping of specific planets involved and the constellation of its occurrence suggests a Providential announcement in the heavens that the beginning stages of the ultimate fulfillment Jesus’ prophecy of the vineyard had begun. That prophecy would prove to be the birth of the greatest and most influential nation the world would ever see. A nation that would be instrumental in declaring to the world not only the Gospel message of salvation through Christ, but also would bear the distinction of being a nation that would announce to the world his coming again. A nation that, in and of itself, would be a decisive marker in time that would prove to be a key piece of the prophetic puzzle signalling the beginning of the end of the Church Age.

RAISING HELL WITH CERN AND SATURN
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison“ (1 Peter 3:18-19).
Myths, legends and modern stories all testify that upon this earth, there were once powerful and evil super-human beings who took great pleasure in tormenting mankind. They were the old gods of tradition and folklore … Zeus, Apollo and their ilk. Were they merely figments of human imagination, or were they real? Are these the entities the Bible identifies as fallen angels masquerading as “gods” to the ancients? Many Christians and people in general do not want to believe that these demigods of old were real. With the development of the early church, pagan deities faded into the forgotten pages of folklore. Yet, the Bible refers to the “sons of God,” “fallen angels” and other demonic creatures who once tried to subvert humanity. They perfectly fit the description of the old demigods. The Bible reveals that they are now locked up and restrained in a place called “Tartarus” … Continue reading “RAISING HELL WITH CERN AND SATURN”
