The Need For More Prayer As U.S. Continues to Be Hit By Powerful Storms

As I mentioned in my previous posts, we are currently on the Hebrew month of Elul. It is a month of

prayer and repentance leading up to the Day of Atonement. Following the total solar eclipse on Elul 1 ( August 21) over America, the entire continent, but especially the United States had been dealing with one natural disaster after another.

From the catastrophic forest fires in Western Canada, to mega earthquake in Mexico, to double whammy of storms in form of hurricanes Harvey and  Irma that devastated the states of Texas and Florida respectively.

As believers we must pray for the Church of America to rise up in prayer of repentance for their nation from which quite clearly God's hand of protection has been lifted as most of the nation turns away from the Gospel.

The Church must return to their first love, begin walk in holiness, and stand up in prayer for their nation and as example to the nation. Jesus is the answer. We must also continue to pray for the hedge of protection over those who are walking faithfully with Him, but are in the midst of destruction because of the sins of the nation as a whole.

These are the "last days" and the "end time" indeed. Jesus predicted that before Hos return all these things will begin to happen I greater intensity :

"And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” ( Luke 21:25-28)
Doesn't it sound just like what we are looking at right now? But the key is the last sentence. Don't be discouraged by all these things. Natural disasters, wars, rumours of wars, mega earthquakes in various places, the moral decay, the set up of global political system that one day will be taken over by the Antichrist. These are all the more reasons to draw ourselves and others more closely to The Lord. It is time to shine in the darkness and pain of this world. When the plagues were hitting Egypt, God's people where in the land of Goshen, protected and awaiting their redemption, and so are we.

And The Shofar Begins To Blow: The Great American Eclipse

Today, people all over America will be looking to the sky at the total solar eclipse. A special

astronomical event that last time happened in 1979. Solar eclipses happen often in different parts of the world, but they are rare over land. But what is even more special about this eclipse is that it falls on Elul 1 on a Hebrew calendar.


According to the research done by pastor Mark Biltz, the same thing happened in Nineveh just before God sent Jonah to preach that it would be destroyed in 40 days if people there did not repent, but of course they did repent and the city wasn't destroyed then.


There was a total solar eclipse on Elul 1 over Europe and the territory of the Ottoman Empire just before WW I began. the people there did no repent and that war destroyed the Ottoman Empire.


Could it be that God is warning America through this sign about an impending judgement and is calling them to repentance? The Hebrew month of Elul is a month of repentance and is leading up to Roshashana, the Feast of Trumpets, and culminates with the The Day of Atonement. And  33 days after Elul 1, there will be the sign of the virgin in the sky over Israel, exactly 7 days before the Day of Atonement.


Is The Lord trying to tell us something here? I think it is very likely as we are living in crucial times. America is still in danger of falling into the chaos similar to the civil war and we need to pray for American Church to wake up and continue to intercede for their country.


I believe The Lord has raised up Jewish men of God who follow Jesus as the Messiah and who understand the Hebrew calendar, such as Jonathan Cahn and Mark Biltz to sound an alarm and to help the church to be prepared for what is coming. We are after all living in the end times and just as Lord Jesus predicted we are seeing signs in the heavens and on the earth that the time of His return is drawing near. Now, we do not have to fear, but we do need to be alert.


I encourage you to watch the presentation by pastor Mark Biltz on this very subject where he shares many more fascinating details. Below is the  link:
