Take note that Jeremiah 8:13-14 also tells us the Lord will take away their harvest - leaves will wither - give them poison water to drink. A good reason to follow Ezekiel's instructions to be stocked up with one of life's essentials - food, but also another timing reference. Hosea 2:9 ...take away my grain when it ripens. Joel 1:10-12 ...fields are ruined...grain is destroyed...despair you farmers, ...grieve for the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field is destroyed. the fig tree is withered...all the trees of the field- are dried up.

Now be mindful of the answer Jesus gave his disciples in Matthew 24 in response to their question to tell them when will the end of the age come. He said to learn this parable from the fig tree: WHEN its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, [leaves must be put forth before they can be withered] you know that summer is near. WHEN you see all these things KNOW that it is near - at the doors. It is caused by the Deuteronomy 28:24 verse that is listed among the consequences of disobedience, being...the Lord will turn the rain of your land into dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are ruined.

With cities burning - darkened skies full of smoke - all happening before the harvest just as Isaiah 18:5 describes, leaves us with knowing we will be dealing with a nuclear winter caused by fallout dust contaminating the crops and causing the leaves on the trees to wither as well as making all surface water unfit to drink. The final conclusion is the punishment will be a 390 day period of extreme food shortage caused by a total crop failure producing intense famine, that will not go away until the food supply is replenished by the next year's harvest.

Take courage for we are told in Isaiah 3:10 that it will be well with the righteous, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds, but woe to the wicked. You see the righteous listen to this message and prepare to deal with it. Scoffers however will be sorely distressed. Remember the Boy Scouts of America's motto "BE PREPARED". Isaiah 32:8 But the noble man makes noble plans, and by noble deeds he stands. The four judgments of Ez. 14:21 (sword, famine, plague, wild beasts) are an inseparable part of this unique end time disaster and create a thread of continuity to other passages (Deut. 32:24-25, Jer. 16:4, Rev. 6:8).

The scroll in Revelations 5 that is written on both sides is just like the scroll in Ezekiel 2:10. As the seals open on the scroll in Revelations 6 you can observe these same four judgments in verse 8. With the disaster taking place as an attack on their cities as Isaiah 1:7 re-iterates, being an event that occurs in the middle of the night as we have previously confirmed, it becomes apparent this is not a world wide event. For night can only take place on no more than half the earth at any given time. As the earth has two hemispheres with opposite seasons and we are now convinced there will be a loss of the harvest, no more that one fourth of the earth is qualified to be going through what is being described. Revelation 6:8 "They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine, plague, and the wild beasts.”

We are the nation that proclaims to be ONE NATION UNDER GOD. But we have turned our backs on the Lord. We have taken prayer out of school. We have thrown the Ten Commandments out of our Courts. We have homosexuals parading down our main streets. The one fourth of the earth that is going to go through this punishment is the North American Continent and likely the British Isles. I know all about the verse in Ezekiel 4:4 NASV. You see, I have experienced a sudden disaster of my own. I suddenly slipped off a roof and had a bad fall. I under went surgery at the hospital for a shattered left arm and also a shattered left leg. I had ten thousand dollars worth of stainless steel external fixaters holding my bones in place. I had just arrived home and told my wife I didn't know why this had to happen to me, but if the Lord was trying to get my attention He had succeeded. I asked for a bible.

When she brought one to me, it was brand new, in the box a NASV. I immediately opened it and looked right at "AS FOR YOU, LIE DOWN ON YOUR LEFT SIDE". It is behind the deflector ramp, brick wall with the iron plate set up as an iron wall between you and the city, because the fire will burn in the center of the city. This is totally all about the unique disaster that is coming. MOST IMPORTANTLY, HERE IS THE LONG SOUGHT AFTER CLUE TELLING WHAT YEAR THIS HAPPENS. .

You are to bear their sin for 390 days and you have been assigned the same number of days as the years of their sins. You are to get for yourself 390 days of food and eat it for 390 days.

NOW LISTEN CAREFULLY! You have been assigned the same number of days as the years of their sins? So how many years of sin do they have? Well it is easy. They have 390 years of sin, for which they will be punished 390 days. Suspecting as I do that we are who the house of Israel is, I sought out an American history book to see if anything of significance might be taking place. And there is. The first English colony of Jamestown is desperately struggling to begin. I am now aware of what is called by a least one historian the most momentous event of the entire 17th century; in late June 1614 the first shipment of Virginia grown tobacco is sold in London. Why, you ask, is that such a momentous event? Because tobacco is credited with establishing Jamestown as the first English colony in the New World. Tobacco transformed the settlement from wretched failure into a raging boomtown.

As interesting as that may seem, the Lord tells Ezekiel to go and see the wicked and detestable things they are doing [chapter 8, verses 9-11].

What it appears to me, is he sees 70 elders of the house of Israel with a cloud of incense rising - that is describing smoke in the air - each had a censer in his hand - that is some kind of container from which smoke rises being held in their hand? Ezekiel can't use the Indian word "tobacco" in the days he lived. How could he better describe a room full of seventy elders smoking and holding tobacco pipes in their hands? Today's modern world now has more than twice as many people being killed by tobacco than heroin, cocaine, crack, aids, alcoholism, murder, suicide, and automobile accidents all combined.

So says a full one page newspaper add I have that was placed by the American Lung Ass., American Heart Association and the American Cancer Institute.

We are now approaching 390 years later from that single most momentous event of the 17th century, that being in 1614, the commercialization and introduction of smoking to the world at that time. Isaiah 29:1 tells us to "add year to year" then in verse 6 he says suddenly in an instant [like a bomb]the Lord will come with thunder, and earthquake, and great noise, with windstorm, [400 mph wind from nuclear blast] and tempest and flames of a devouring fire.All that is left for us to do is add 1614 to 390 and here we are in 2004, with many enemies; having committed pre- emptive strikes based on faulty intelligence outside international law.

We set a dangerous precedence when we justified our attack on Iraq because we perceive them to be a threat to us. Now our enemies have sufficient justification to attack us, if they perceive us to be a threat to them. A nation has invaded my land, powerful and without number....harvest of the field is destroyed...the day of the Lord is near, ..food cut off before our very eyes..(Joel 1). Joel 2 unfolds with sound the alarm...the day of the Lord is coming ...a day of darkness and gloom. A large and mighty army comes, such as never was of old nor ever will be in ages to come. Before them fire devours, behind them a flame blazes. Before them the land is like the garden of Eden, California has immaculately manicured vineyards and orchards for as far as the eye can see. It is known as the fruit basket of the world.

Even Now," declares the Lord, "return to me with weeping and fasting and mourning." Return to the Lord, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and He relents from sending calamity. As the 390 days of punishment are passing Joel goes on to say - I am sending you grain, new wine and oil, enough to satisfy you fully;[famine is over] never again will I make you an object of scorn to the nations. I will drive the northern army far from you, pushing it into a parched and barren land. [That is JEREMIAH 23 NIV ISAIAH 26 NIV the land that was burning as they were invading.]

We must hold our ground, for the Lord will deliver us from our enemies. Isaiah explains it in chapter 10:3 What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar? He is telling of the same stuff. Isaiah then tells of the Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my anger, in whose hand is the club of my wrath [God uses our enemies to punish us] but when the Lord is finished with him [vs.12] he will punish him for he begins to boast of all that he has done and becomes haughty and proud, so [vs.16] the Lord will send a wasting disease upon his sturdy warriors. This is why Joel says its stench will go up; its smell will rise.

As we are over run and all looks bleak; all our resources are exhausted; it will be the hand of the Lord that delivers us from this overwhelming invasion. In their trampling over our beloved America the Beautiful, they are going to encounter too much radiation, and as time progresses it will take its toll on them. Like a steel chain, link by link this chain of logic is connected verse by verse as follows: An end is coming, it is a unique disaster [Eze.7:5] It has never been done before and it will never be done again [Eze.5:9] It comes from the north; an immense ball of fire enfolding itself [Eze.1:4] That is why Ezekiel 4 tells us to put up the brick wall between yourself and the city, because cities are going to burn [Isa.1; 2 Pet. 2; Eze.5:2] It is the same Jeremiah 1's disaster from the north. It is the attack in Jere. 6 at night. It is the army from the north [Jere. 6:22] It is Joel 1's invading army that is called the northern army in Joel 2:20 that gets driven back out. It is the third who survive and flee to the mountains in Ezekiel 5&7 that are the Lord's people in who are tested in Zachariah 13;8. They are the people who know their God and shall be strong, and carry out great exploits [Dan 11:32We have a destiny and an important job to do. It is to preserve freedom for all mankind. Daniel 2:44 sums it up. In the time of the kings of Iron and clay, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed...it will crush those kingdoms and bring them to an end. You see; it will be their end that is coming, not ours. Who are the kings of iron and clay? They are the beast of Revelation 13 that has the feet of a bear [Russia-king of iron, nation with world's largest tank arsenal,{tanks=feet; provide ground movement}] and gets its power [financial backing] from the dragon [China- king of clay, nation of world's largest population of people - made of clay]. Jeremiah 15:12 Can a man break iron from the north? The king of iron and the bear and the northern army and the king of the north are all one and the same. The bear is told in Daniel 7 "Get up and eat your fill of flesh." That is the Day of the Lord...many slain bodies on the ground, with no one to bury them. The reason they are not buried is the radiation that they died from is lingering around them. To attempt to venture into those areas could prove to be fatal.

Who can make war against the Beast? It is a military alliance of nations who put together their resources -weapons - manpower - finances, to attack the US.

The beast has seven heads; five have fallen and one is and one is to come. They are seven kingdoms. In WWII France fell; so did Germany, Japan and several other countries easily fill that required description. The Russian leader Yelsin's words to the Leader of China, two weeks before he left office were "It seems Mr. Clinton has forgotten that Russia still is a world power who possess a nuclear arsenal. Russia is the one who is and China is the one who is to come! The one with the finances and manpower. Russian leaders stood by, horrified by the 78 days of 24 hours a day 600 sorties a day bombing of the Serbian people, who were our allies in both previous world wars, because the most immoral leader in the history of our nation, Mr. Clinton said he had a moral obligation to stop the atrocities on the Serbia people. He was desperate to create a diversion. for right at that time the media's spotlight was on him and his immoral affair in the White House. From the Russian's point of view, this is how we treat our friends when we don't agree with how they are handling their internal problems.

The Russian leaders said "don't do this, you are liable to re-kindle the cold war, if not a hot one!" After the NATO bombing, Mr. Clinton told Mr. Yelsin - furthermore he doesn't agree with how Russia is dealing with their internal problem the rebellion in Chetsnia. We have broken the ABM treaty with Russia and are now committed to putting up a national missile defense system, that was not allowed by that treaty. Remember Gorbachov's response to Reagan's plans to pursue the star wars missile defense plan. Even after Regan tried to convince that He could trust the United States, that we were the most peaceful country in modern history, Gorbachov replied that he could not gamble the safety and security of the Soviet people on his say so. Gorbachov said as the leader of the Russian people, "I cannot let you build it, there is nothing to stop you from using it as a shield from which to launch a preemptive strike!

Does Mr. Putin have any less resolve than Gorbachov had when it comes to protecting the Russian people? It appears the Lord has set us up this time of punishment. For we have been attacked and were forced to take extreme measures to deal with all perceived threats. We acted on the best intelligence available. That proved to be flawed. We appear to those, who look for reasons to oppose us, as a nation with too much power and out of control. At the conference tables of our enemies, they are saying "THEY MUST BE STOPPED, WE MUST STOP THEM". Russia will be used as an agent of the UN to enforce international law. Revelations 9 tells of a star falling from the sky to the earth (missile) that was given a key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. When it opened out came the fire and smoke of a gigantic furnace (Mushroom cloud with stem[shaft] and then men become sick like they were stung by scorpions (radiation sickness) By these, power is given to kill 1/3 of mankind. That is not speaking of Americans, but this is the price the enemies of America will pay.

This is talking about more that two billion people perishing! There is no other way. The world has become too small for those who are incompatible with freedom and those of us who say "Live free or die"

WE WILL RECOVER, REBUILD, RETALIATE WITHOUT MERCY, AND WITH GOD'S HELP WE WILL PREVAIL. FOR THE EARTH SHALL BE THE HOME OF THE RIGHTEOUS 2PETER3. THE SOULS WHO SIN SHALL DIE EZEKIEL 18.
