the great shaking is near!

It's coming!!  The great shaking is coming!!  

Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand...   Joel 2:1

"Let ALL the inhabitants of the land tremble," saith God!  So, it shall surely happen.  The Bible says that God's voice--

joy cometh - in the 'morning'

"...the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

a day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds

and of thick darkness,

as the morning spread upon the mountains:

a great people

and a strong;

there hath not been ever the like,

neither shall be any more after it,

even to the years of many generations.

A fire devoureth before them;

and behind them

a flame burneth...."

The above passage is from Joel chapter 2, verses 1a thru 3a (without any omissions).  I stylized the text in the fashion shown, in order to make the reading - and thus the meaning - of the passage clear.  It is best thought of as though there were two different voices: one speaking the words in the left-justified margin, and the other speaking the words which are right-justified (and less visible).  An analysis follows:

The Seven Seals in Prophecy and in History

Now available at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com

This book is a game-changer in the field of Bible prophecy studies.  The author systematically and meticulously expounds the true meaning of the Scriptures involving the seven seals, in the book of Revelation.  The seven seals do not pertain to the Tribulation period (as that is wrongly supposed and widely taught).  Rather, the seals belong to this present time, that is, to the Church Age; and they indicate the approaching time of the Rapture of the Church!  This book presents many important insights which cannot be found among mainstream prophecy teaching.  It is a must-read, for every serious student of Bible prophecy.
