Fearful sights in the heavens

Fearful sights in the heavens

 The famous Matthew 24 signs |

WHAT ARE THE HEAVENS TELLING US?
Meteors, lights, signs all creating worldwide wonder

More and more people are talking about meteors, fireballs and comets, specially since the past few weeks when a meteorite hit Russia. Are people just more aware of these celestial objects or is there something deeper behind this ?

This is the sixth part of the Matthew 24 signs series. Where we will examine each one of these signs which, according to Jesus, were going to take place right before His return to this planet.

Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Luke recorded something that the other gospels do not mention. Fearful sights and signs in the heavens. Signs in the sun, moon and stars. Here we clearly see that Luke wrote about celestial events that will take place in the last days. Do you think this is happening today ? Well, let's take a look at it going on today regarding celestial events in the sky.

As we read in the first news report by WND, the heavens are telling us something indeed.

Now, let me emphasize something that we have touched on repeatedly. Remember the “birth pains factor” ?
Matthew 24:8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
Jesus compared the events with birth pains. And how are birth pains? You all know the answer, more frequent and more intense.  

You can totally see it in this sign, we have always heard about meteors, fireballs, comets etc, but, wow! I hear about this everyday lately, these reports are more frequent and more intense.

But in case you are not very aware of this, let me share with you just a few of these reports, but if you do some research, you will find that the reports are overwhelmingly abundant.

Comets

Year of the comets – Space.com
The year 2013 may someday be known as "the year of the comets." If all goes well we may see two of the brightest comets in many years, and possibly one of the brightest in history.

The comets are coming. There are always comets in the sky, but most of them are too faint and far away to be seen without a telescope. But that's about to change. For observers in the Southern Hemisphere there are two comets currently visible, Comet C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS) and Comet C/2012 F6 (Lemmon).The massive comet that may shine brighter than the moon in 2013 – The Week
One of the brightest "Great Comets" in history. Indeed, ISON may go down as the brightest comet ever gazed upon by human eyes.

Meteors and Fireballs

Meteors sighted in Russia and San Francisco: Some say signs of the end times – The Examiner
The increasing frequency of fireballs and other cosmic occurrences is causing many to speculate as to what these astronomical phenomena really mean. Some say these occurrences are signs of the end times.

Bright blue fireball reported across several states, including loud boom above New York, 19 March 2013 – Signs of the times

It was fast but slower than a shooting star and more "blob" like in motion. I'd say it was as bright as the moon. Areas of the sky surrounding this appeared brighter, and it produced a sound like a passing F-117 nighthawk.

Physicist and former Nasa astronaut, Dr. Ed Lu, discusses the possible threat that near-Earth asteroids pose to our planet. Lu claims there is a 30% chance of a five mega tonne impact happening this century.

These are just some of the many articles you can find about these celestial events. Evidently, these events are occurring more frequently and more intensely. In fact not only the people are concerned, but also the U.S. House of Representatives.
Lawmakers to discuss dangerous asteroids, meteors in hearing today – CBS News
In light of Earth's most recent brushes with asteroids, the Science, Space and Technology Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives is holding a hearing today (March 19) to assess what kind of threat space rocks pose.

Also remember that just last year, we witnessed another very unique celestial event.

Venus will be visible in front of the sun later this summer -and the next 'transit' won't be until 2117 – Daily Mail

The Sun

Did you know that:

Solar maximum is a period of greatest solar activity in the 11 year solar cycle. The increased energy output of solar maxima can impact global climate and recent studies have shown some correlation with regional weather patterns. Solar maximum should arrive in autumn of 2013. (wikipedia)

Massive solar storms may peak this year – Fox News

The sun is surprisingly quiet at the moment, but that may be because our star is gearing up for the second phase of a one-two wallop in its 11-year activity cycle, some scientists say.

The perfect solar storm? Sun eruptions to peak in 2013 – Fox News

A massive solar storm, like the one that knocked out radio communications all over the U.S. in 1958, is coming, and this time the devastation could total as much as $2 trillion, experts told FoxNews.com. Call it the perfect solar storm.

The sun should roar back to life sometime in 2013, producing its second activity peak in the last two years, scientists say.

As you can clearly see, the subject of celestial events occurring is now mentioned everywhere. Why now ? How can the world follow so strictly the prophecies ? Of course these event are happening now. Can you see it ? They have to happen in order to fulfill the prophecies letting us know that our Savior is near. And I will mention again, meteorites or comets are not a sign of the end, we always had meteorites and comets and other celestial events, BUT the fact that they are happening more often and more intensely, and at the same time with ALL the other signs, simultaneously; that is what is convincing. You just cant deny that fact!

Now, I think I could say that I had done a pretty good job detailing this last sign. But I just can't omit the other fact, the real fact, that is happening these last days concerning “fearful sights in the heavens”. And I repeat, it is a fact, because it is happening, and it is getting covered by the media more and more lately. I know many conservative Christian brothers and sisters are going to frown about this, but let me tell you; unfortunately, this is going around the world even if you don't believe it, and that is the increasing reports of UFOs (unidentified flying object) sightings around the globe.

Now, before you click the “X” at the corner of your screen, allow your self to see what it's going on around the world concerning these fearful sights in the heavens. But before I share the overwhelmingly abundant reports about this subject, let me tell you that I DO NOT believe that little green aliens live in outer space, not I believe that the exist at all. But remember that there are spiritual forces in this world that are somewhat powerful and very deceiving and will do anything to turn people's minds away from God and His teachings. So having said that, look at what the deceiver is doing:

UFO Investigator Observes Brilliant Orange Orb of Light -- Before it's news

If you were not familiar with these incidents, it might be somewhat shocking to you. But as you can see, this is happening, and is happening more often. Doing this research I have listened to many ufologist and experts on this subject and if you ask me, the thing that impressed me the most is that all of them unanimously believe that the sightings are rapidly increasing lately, and that is coming from people that come in contact with these reports all the time. I know many of them are fake, but most of the reports are just breathtaking.

Let me just tell you in the most friendly and respectful way I can; it doesn't matter if YOU believe it, what matters is that it is happening, whether you believe it or not. We can't ignore this phenomenon, I believe we should consider it.

But let me just share something else with you, do you know who DOES believe in aliens?

Well, the Vatican does. Yes, not only that, but the articles below will shock you out of your chair, take a look :

Vatican Seeks Signs of Alien Life – Fox News

Believing in aliens not opposed to Christianity, Vatican’s top astronomer says – Catholic News Agancy

Pope's Astronomer Would Baptize Aliens – Fox News

Vatican astronomer cites possibility of extraterrestrial 'brothers' --  New York Times

The Vatican's chief astronomer says there is no conflict between believing in God and in the possibility of extraterrestrial "brothers" perhaps more evolved than humans.

Isn't that strange? Why is the Vatican saying that aliens exist? Do they know something we do not? Are they preparing the people for a coming event? All I know is that all this info is very strange.

So, these are the fearful sighting that this generation is starting to see, and the fact that they are happening more often and more intensely, lets us know that this is definitely one of the signs that our great teacher and savior Yeshua had spoken about.

The Holy Bible also mentions some verses that are related to celestial objects falling to earth, I'm not saying this is what the verses mean, but I'll just quote them here for you.

Revelations 8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;

Revelations 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

Revelations 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

Revelations 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

Revelations 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Isaiah 34:4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Those are some verses about celestial events in the heavens. But, is there any verse that would mention ufo or aliens??? Obviously the answer is NO. But remember that the bible mentions a great deception coming, and some of the language in those verses are somewhat similar to what we are talking about, but this is just pure speculation. I just thought it would be interesting to quote these verses:

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Revelations 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

Revelations 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

Frog-like creatures, which of course are spirits of devils, not aliens. This is what is going on. Aliens from outer space do not exist, but they are evil spirits that are deceiving many people. Great deceptions are coming, we need to be firm in what we believe.

So let's add this one to the list Signs being fulfilled today:

False christs √
Wars and rumors of wars √
Great earthquakes in diverse places √
Famines and troubles √

Pestilences, dreadful diseases √

fearful sights and great signs in the heavens √

So hold on tight, because the fulfillment of all these signs will shock you out of your chair. My dear readers, my purpose is not to scare you or amaze you, or give you something interesting to read. My only objective is to help you and others, to realize the times we are living in. So you can prepare your life and others' spiritually, physically and mentally for the hard times that we have ahead, to finally meet our Creator and Redeemer Jesus Christ, the son of God.

We are in very interesting times my dear friends, and if some these signs have shocked you, let me tell you that we are going to see more of them. I really pray that you will consecrate your life to God and let Him use you to be His messenger, and bring the good news to others. God is going to have a great army of faithful followers and you and I can be part of that army. Do you want to serve the all mighty One and defend His truth ? Are you willing to give everything to His service? I am! And I pray that you will also.

This will conclude the Matthew 24 signs series. I really hope it was a blessing to you. Let us tell others about the times we are in and the great news that our Savior is about to return to earth.

Jude 1:20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

21 keep yourselves in the love of God, eagerly awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to everlasting life.

Amen.
