…walking in the light of the Last

Days!

(1Th 4:13-18) But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as

others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring

with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not

prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with

the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with

the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

(Eze 38:1-3) And the word of the LORD came unto me,

saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of

Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and

prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O

Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

(Eze 38:5-6) Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of

Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many

The financial profit

The Destruction awaiting the Invaders

(Eze 38:18-19) And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the

Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. For in

my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken,

Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land

of Israel;

Destroyed by a

Ferocious earthquake

(Eze 38:19-20) For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a

great shaking in the land of Israel; So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men

that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown

down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

Notices the word “great”

(Rev 6:12) And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great

earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as

blood;

(Rev 11:13) And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were

affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

(Rev 16:18) And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a

great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an

earthquake, and so great.

THE UNIVERSAL ALMANAC tells us that..

21 earthquakes of major strength between the years 1000 - 1800.

18 major earthquakes between 1800 and 1900 there were.

33 major quakes, between 1900 and 1950

93 major earthquakes between 1950 and 1991

There were— almost triple the number of the previous half century — which claimed the lives of 1.3 million people around the world.

Job

(Eze 39:11-16) And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in

Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and

there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog. And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of

them, that they may cleanse the land. Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith

the Lord GOD. And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to

bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search. And the passengers that

pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog. And also the

name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
