Aerial view Seffner, Florida sinkhole
Just before midnight, at 11:00 p.m. on the last day of February, suddenly and without warning, a man was swallowed alive in to the bowels of the earth, when, the ground beneath the bedroom, he was sleeping in opened in to a large sinkhole. Estimated to be at least 20 feet wide and 60 feet deep emergency personal could not reach the victim due to the instability of the area. And, after several days had no choice but to raze the remainder of the structure and to fill in the hole. The victim, 36 year old Jeffrey Bush is presumed dead and entombed with in the filled in site.
It’s hard to imagine a more tragic and terrifying story. But, the Bible tells of two men and their families, who likewise, suffered such a fate. In Numbers 16: 31-34, when, Korah and the families of all, who associated with him were swallowed alive in to the earth as a judgment for questioning the authority of Moses, and by extension rebelling against God, for it was God, who had placed Moses in authority over them.
And, while I am not suggesting that Mr. Bush or his family are responsible in any way for this terrible tragedy, (my heart and prayers go out to them), I am suggesting that this incident may in fact, be a warning that judgment (in regard to rebellion against the authority and word of God), is on the near horizon.
Remember what it says in Jude regarding those who, slip in among the church and use their authority to pervert the grace of God in to a license for immorality; specifically, homosexuality. In verse 11, it says, they have “taken the way of Cain, they have rushed for profit in to Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion“. Sinning in the same way the fallen angels did, who are even now being held in chains for their rebellious acts.
It is greatly evident that the Church, (especially in this nation) has fallen far from the word of God. Churches, which were once stalwarts of the faith, now openly endorse and advocate same-sex marriages, even ordaining some as shepherds over the flock.
It makes me think of the two individuals in this story. Mr. Jeffrey Bush and Mr. Jeremy Bush, the surviving brother. It’s interesting, when I think of the rebellion of Korah, for he was rebelling against the authority of Moses; Moses, who was given his commission by God through the burning bush. The name Jeffrey, which means “God’s peace or “divine peace” and Jeremy, which means “the Lord loosens” or “the Lord will lift up”. Which could loosely be interpreted to mean:
There cannot be any peace, where there is a spirit of rebellion; the judgment on which, the Lord will soon loosen or lift up.
This incident, happened within 60 minutes of February 28 turning in to March 1. A month that many of us are watching for a number of reasons in terms of prophetic fulfillment.
Friends, we are dangerously close to judgment. We know God is long suffering and patient with sinners, but, he will not long tolerate open rebellion in his own house, and, that is what is happening today. After Mr. Bush fell in to the pit, there was nothing to do, but to demolish the whole house, for the whole thing was unstable, good for nothing. But, the other Mr. Bush, who had also fallen in to the pit (in an effort to help his brother) was saved by a first responder, who risked his own life to pull him out.
My daughter, (Seven Stars) pointed out that Baphomet, (a widely recognized symbol of Satan) has both male and female body parts. Interesting, when you consider that homosexuals by virtue of their behavior are androgynous, a blend of male and female; a behavior that is in direct opposition to God’s plan and design and, is in open rebellion against his word. This cannot go on. God will not tolerate it. It is one thing for unbelievers to practice such things, but, another, when it comes to God’s people. Remember, the Bible says, “judgment begins at the house of God.”
Friends, we are one minute to midnight in terms of judgment. We need to get serious about our relationship the Lord Jesus Christ, if we are not already. The blood of 50 million aborted babies cries out to God every day, add that to a church, who despises and mocks God’s own word, while at the same time claiming to love him and you can see why we are in big trouble.
Jesus, said, “If you love me, keep my commandments”. In other words, we are to submit to his authority. We cannot claim to love him and do otherwise.
One brother fell in to the pit and was lost, but, one was rescued and lifted up. Which one are you?
Something to think.

I have been thinking on this tragedy for some days now, Cindy. I think because we are going to Orlando in about a month. My sister lives there now and something within me wants to say to her constantly, “be careful of the sink holes”. I’m so happy you brought out this correlation, Cindy. Great job! Surely it can’t be long now. Every day seems to add another bullet point to the list.
God bless you and keep safely in His hands,
Kim
[Thanks Kim! I’ll be keeping you and your sister in my prayers. C]

At a certain church I attended some time ago, the “new” leadership which included a “pastor” who was very bent on setting himself in a totally singular position of authority over the congregation used the example of comparing himself to Moses in order to do so.
There were a number of biblical violations of the truth, when he couldn’t get his own way at a point he left abruptly, and abandoned his post by resigning.

One thing that has plagued the church is it’s unwillingness to separate themselves from the idea that our nation was established as a christian nation. After examining it’s founders and seeing their affiliations with the Masonic order and how that from the beginning the US was formed out of rebellion and a spirit that has been set up in authority over many churches ever since.
And now in these day’s, are we to continue? For myself I am denouncing anything that even looks like a continuation of this rebellious direction to include stepping away from those who would say that God isn’t going to judge and send people to everlasting punishment. They are of the same sort who say that we should embrace Homosexuality.
In my area we have a church that has hung a banner for all to see that say’s “People of faith for marriage equality”
I have stood up and out plenty, but not enough. May it please our Father in heaven to grant us wisdom and courage to present the truth as He present’s it to us.
One of the toughest chores facing the “church” today will be to step away from tax exemption which is an open ended way to be in agreement to governmental control over local churches. Not to say their bylaws and incorporating statements. Most have not conducted themselves in a manner that would allow them to have their corporate “veil” of protection intact after a serious legal inquiry.
Many church “leaders” today use the ambiguity of church membership to their local assembly as the limit of their accountability.
Do you want to see who is really leading your leaders? Lovingly and graciously ask questions about their decision’s and it’s relationship to the truth. Is there a change in their demeanor and attitude toward you? Do they become overly defensive? Most are more worried about their organization than they are about leading God’s people.
Don’t think of it as rocking the “boat”. Think of it as a way of determining the real corporate center of buoyancy.
Make sure you are not following an imposter.

Hello Cindy. It seems that everything around us (prophectically) is happening so fast. One has to have a God given spiritual discernment as to what is coming this way and it seems that we have little time left on the clock. I’d thought I’d share something I’ve been studying recently.
For those of you who are paying attention to current events (Prophecy of Revelation 17) and are awaiting the results of the next Pope, here is a website that sheds some light as to who the next pope may be.

HERE IS A LIVE WEBCAM FROM THE VATICAN TO THIS POPES TOMB
(Makes you wonder why they are providing this live webcam pic of his tomb)

If If that’s not enough, here is some symbolism of the Popes tomb from a movie that came out this past Christmas 2012 titled “Rise Of The Guardians”.

May the lord Yeshua (Jesus Christ) be with all of us during these trying times.
God Bless.

Hi its Scott still alive barely. I thought you might enjoy these websites the articles and comments are very interesting over the last month on this website prophetgene.blogspot.com
the other is apostlesprophets.blogspot.ca February 17, 2013. Judging Prophecy and the next one.
I changed my web address but through the comments you may find a post of mine under its anonymous if you find the link please do not post this anywhere else as I only felt to release it to several people after the screening of several ministers they said its good. This may add some revelation to what you have posted.It may very well be that that dispute of leadership is the Hebrew antitype of moses prophet and apostle foundation.who knows maybe demonstrated on the mount of transfiguration which was to be brought forth after the crucification, the rebellion of korah involved Gods current leader and His next pick which the established leaders didn’t like.
