Escape For Your Life! Don't Look Back!

"So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that he said, Escape for your life! Don't look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed."  Genesis 19:17

"Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand), "then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes."  Matthew 24:15 - 18

[All Scripture quotes are from the New King James Version]

I was awakened this morning with a burden of the Ruach (Spirit) heavy upon my heart. I believe the Almighty has laid upon me, the Spirit of a watchman upon the wall and has placed in my hands a shofar to sound the warning that the time is very short. There is no time to dally. I am not speaking about some pre-tribulation rapture, but a call to repentance, for those who are called by the name of Yeshua. The signs are all around us to the point where you almost have to intentionally ignore them, in order to not see them. Today when I turned on my computer, the first thing I saw was that Egypt is swarmed with locusts. Here we are, just a few weeks before Pesach (Passover) and Egypt is having a plague of locusts. Coincidence? Yeshua gave His beloved disciples a warning in Luke 21:34 - 36;

"But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."

I do not believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. However, I do believe the Scriptures are clear that Elohim will protect His Israel, from His wrath.  Elohim, is about to pour out His wrath upon all those who have rejected His Messiah Yeshua and do not keep His commandments. Who is Israel? Those who believe upon the nome of Yeshua haMashiach are Abraham's seed. 

 When you look at the coming Blood Moons that are to appear over Israel during Pesach (Passover), in 2014 and then again during Sukkot (Feast of  Tabernacles), that same year, it should be getting your attention. Add to that the total eclipse of the sun on the Hebrew New Year, Adar 29/Nisan 1, followed by two more Blood Moons, also falling during Pesach and Sukkot the following year, it should be clear that Elohim is working within His appointed feasts to give us ample warning. In Genesis 1:14, Elohim gave us a clue, as what to be watching for from the beginning.

Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years."

It is easy to understand that the lights in the heavens are needed for understanding night and day and for seasons and years, but the Almighty also says they are for signs. These signs are very important to us, or the Almighty would not have mentioned it back there at the beginning of creation. Let's examine some of these signs mentioned in Scripture concerning the Day of the Lord.

 Isaiah 13:9 & 10;

Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger. To lay the land desolate; And He will destroy its sinners from it. For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going  forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine.

Joel 2:10 & 11;

The earth quakes before them , the heavens tremble; The sun and moon grow dark, the stars diminish their brightness. The LORD gives His voice before His army, for His camp is very great;  For strong is the One who executes His word. For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; Who can endure it?

Joel 2: 30 & 31;

"And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD."

Amos 8:9;

"And it shall come to pass in that day," says the LORD GOD, "That I will make the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in broad daylight."

Matthew 24:29;

"Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken."

Luke 21:11;

"And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven."

Luke 21:25;

"And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring."

Revelation 6:12;

"I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood."

These times are upon us. They are even at the door. I pray that we would take this warning to heart and do as Yeshua told us to do. Be watching and praying always, that we may be found worthy,  to escape the destruction that is about to come upon the whole earth. Many will scoff at this and will find themselves going through the most troublesome time that was ever to come upon the face of this earth. Nazi Germany, the starvations in the Ukraine in the first part of the last century , and the dispersion of the Jews in the first and second centuries, will be child's play compared to what is coming soon. Once the door is shut, it is shut for good. Do you have enough oil in your lamps? There will be an Exodus of the believers, but it will not be a pre-tribulation rapture. In case you haven't noticed, the Blood Moons and the darkened sun are coming within the next two years. Make yourself ready. Turn from the traditions of  men and the doctrines of devils and obey Elohim.

This could quite possibly be our final warning. I pray that many would awaken out of their slumber. When this time comes, remember Lot's wife. Don't look back. Don't be concerned with your cats, dogs, family, or anything else you may put a value upon. Escape for your life and do not turn around to look back.

Shalom Ahlaychem,
