This week I noticed a lot of articles and videos were being made about a series of events coming this September.
While no one event stood out more so than another, when put together there did seem to be a theme.
In September of this year there will be big decisions made by several world leaders and organizations that may have a direct impact on us all. Just what that impact will be is something we will have to wait for.
Here is a list of some of the events.
Sept 8th CERN will be using twice the power it used last year in order to find even smaller particles in the hope of understanding how our universe began.
CERN is a huge underground oval tube 27 kilometers/16 miles long that sends a tiny particle around in a circle at the speed of light and crashes into another tiny particle that is traveling from the opposite direction in order to create a collision of the particles so scientist can see the little bits that are left after they hit.
This is a scientific experiment costing billions of dollars that some fear will result in apocalyptic results. People are concerned that CERN is playing with fire and that the scientist are taking unnecessary risks since they do not know the outcomes.
Christians are concerned because the CERN logo looks like 3 – 6’s of the infamous 666 in the bible and the CERN facility has a statue of a dancing Hindu goddess named Shiva who is dancing on top of the dwarf of ignorance openly displayed. This goddess is regarded as both the destroyer and creator goddess in the Hindu religion. Which one it will be for CERN is uncertain?
The next thing that is going on in September is the 9/11 anniversary on September 11th. Typically the U.S. President makes a speech and people are anticipating its contents. So not much with this event.
Following that is September 13th which is the Jewish New Year – Rosh Hashana which is marked by a partial Solar eclipse which remains one of the events associated with the Blood Moon series of events and the Shemitah year. Again a solar event is meant to be an unfavorable omen for the gentile world. We will have to wait and see if the financial markets collapse.
On September 15th the U.S.A. has a huge military operation called Jade Helm that is supposed to wrap up where actual U.S. soldiers are being deployed by the thousands across 5 states Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado. so they can train for urban assault and peace keeping. What has alarmed Americans is the size of the operation and the intrusion and invasion it brings to everyday life for the citizens in those states. Some fear it is a pre-emptive deployment of U.S. soldiers to institute martial law. The Texas governor is so upset he has ordered his troops from the Texas National Guard to be deployed at the same time in order to keep an eye on the U.S. Army and its soldiers so no one gets out of line in Texas.
Also on September 15th the U.N. is celebrating its 70th Anniversary and Assembly of nations. Their agenda is concerning as they have several controversial proposals about global issues surrounding finance and food that could affect all of us.
September 23rd is the Jewish Feast of “The Day of Atonement” Yom Kippur bringing in the Jewish year 5776.
Also on September 23rd President Barak Obama welcomes Pope Francis to the White House.
On September 24th Pope Francis will make history as he becomes the first Pope to address both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. A strange and unusual event to be sure.
September 24th also marks the end of the 500 day countdown to climate chaos that French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius has stated is upon us which will result in dire consequences for the entire earth.
On September 25-27th is the Tomorrow World Festival which is has satanic themes and features music and celebrities. It takes place in Atlanta. It’s sold out.
Also on September 25th Pope Francis will address the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. No one knows what he will speak about. The Pope will then travel to Philadelphia for an open air Mass to celebrate the World Meeting of Families.
On September 28th the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles occurs it is marked by the final 4th Blood Moon or Lunar Eclipse completing the cycle. Again a “Blood Moon” is meant as an omen for the Jewish people.
But what if anything will happen remains to be seen.
Just so you know I left out the part about the giant asteroid that is supposed to hit earth but lately there always seems to be an asteroid about to hit the earth.
I share all these things to illustrate to you how the Thessalonians felt about being misled about the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
St. Paul had written them a letter of encouragement and hope that also taught them to expect and be ready for the return of Jesus at any moment.
But someone tried to upset and discourage the Thessalonians by suggesting that they had missed the day of the Lords return because they did not get taken to heaven in the Rapture.
To make things even worse someone forged a letter and tried to pass it off as one from St. Paul to explain why they missed the “Rapture”.
It’s like that old adage “The more things change the more they stay the same”.
Friends I do not want you to be alarmed or concerned about world events that so called Christians suggest we need to be alarmed about.
Paul found out about the lies that the church had been told and he wrote another letter to them about the return of Christ to assure them that they did not get “Left Behind” as the popular movie of our time suggests.
Paul told them it was not a Blood Moon or a solar eclipse that would be the sign of the Lords soon return but rather a falling away from the faith, an apostasy. People who were once Christians will be in open rebellion against God as they turn away from God and abandon their faith in large numbers.
Paul warned them not to be deceived by the times and seasons but to look for the Biblical event of a “lawless one” to be revealed.
Paul was using the Book of Daniel and Daniel’s vision of the Last Days to assure the Thessalonians that they had not missed it.
Saints we should not be looking for the Rapture as our get out of jail free card. Bible scholars cannot even agree as to when it takes place only that it will take place. For that reason we must be ready to meet the Lord every day.
Yes it seems we are in the “Remnant Church” or the “Church of the Last Days” as we see many people who were once in the church failing to believe what they once held dear. That is called apostasy and it is all around us.
But the next big sign is not CERN or a Blood Moon but it is a man of sin who will lift himself up so as to be equal with God and who will be able to lead many astray by false miracles and signs.
That is what St. Paul tells us to look for. Could it be the Pope, possibly, could it be President Obama perhaps but we will not know until God reveals it to us.
We must be faithful in these very strange days that we are living. We must be faithful to Jesus in our everyday living.
We must be showing that our hope and trust is in His coming back not in our getting out of here.
Jesus told us that things will get very bad and that we will have to suffer for what we believe in just as He suffered to reveal the truth to us.
I do not know what will transpire in September and I will not lose sleep over it and nor should you.
God will reveal things to us one day at a time and so I suggest that you live one day at a time in the sure and certain hope that Jesus will come back and when He does He will be crowned the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords as we become the subjects of His kingdom forever more. – Amen.
