What I see among Christians, is not blaming the Jews, but adulation and respect for them. They support Israel and send large sums of money. People do this because they have fallen for the false 'rapture to heaven of the Church' theory. The wrongly believe the Jews will be saved and redeemed thru tribulations, while the Christians will be sitting up in heaven. 

This whole theory is gross error and will never happen. 

Shalom, @Keras.

Sorry, I was distracted before I completed that last post. Let me re-do the colorization of this passage:

Isaiah 62:1-12 (KJV)

1 For ZION'S sake will I not hold my peace, and for JERUSALEM'S sake I will not rest, until the righteousness THEREOF go forth as brightness, and the salvation THEREOF (Hebrew: וִישׁוּעָתָהּ = "Yishuw`aataah" = "And-its-Yeeshuwa`/salvation") as a lamp [that] burneth. 2 And the Gentiles shall see THY righteousness, and all kings THY glory: and THOU shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. 3 THOU shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. 4 THOU shalt no more be termed "Forsaken [Abandoned]"; neither shall THY LAND any more be termed "Desolate [Empty]": but thou shalt be called "Hephzibah (Hebrew: חֶפְצִי־בָהּ = "heftsiy-vaah" = "my-delight [is] in-her")," and thy land "Beulah (Hebrew: בְּעוּלָה = "B`uwlaah" = "A Married-wife")": for the LORD delighteth in THEE, and THY LAND SHALL BE MARRIED. 5 For [AS] A YOUNG MAN MARRIETH A VIRGIN, [SO] SHALL THY SONS MARRY THEE: and [as] the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, [so] SHALL THY GOD REJOICE OVER THEE. 6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O JERUSALEM, [which] shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, 7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make JERUSALEM a praise in the earth. 8 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength,

"Surely I will no more give thy corn [to be] meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured: 9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness."

10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. 11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world,

"Say ye to the daughter of Zion,

"'Behold, thy salvation (Hebrew: יִשְׁעֵךְ = "Yish`eekh" = "thy-Yeeshu`aah/Salvation") cometh; behold, HIS reward [is] with HIM, and HIS work before HIM.'

12 "And they shall call them,
'The holy people,' (Hebrew: עַם־הַקֹּדֶשׁ = "`am-haqqodesh" = "a-people - the-holy")
'The redeemed of the LORD' (Hebrew: גְּאוּלֵי יְהוָה = "G'uwleey YHWH" = "Bought-ones of-YaHuWH")
:
and thou [the city] shalt be called,

'Sought out,' (Hebrew: דְרוּשָׁה = "Druwshaah" = the place where one goes to "Ask Questions")
'A city not forsaken' (Hebrew: עִיר לֹא נֶעֱזָבָה = "`Iyr Lo' Ne`ezaaVaah" = "A-City Not Deserted").
"

These are important monikers given to the people and to the city of Jerusalem. In much of this chapter, YHWH is talking TO Jerusalem and the Land of Israel. It's a prophecy about the LAND and the CITY! The people, in this instance, are secondary to the main thoughts!

Over seventy prophecies tell of a forthcoming judgement of fire and the only literal explanation for Isaiah 30:26, Isaiah 13:13, Malachi 4:1, is a Coronal Mass Ejection – a sunstrike that will particularly affect the Middle East. Zephaniah 2:4-6, Amos 1 & 2:1-5

It will be a seemingly natural event that maintains His hiddenness to the world, but it will clear and cleanse all of that area promised to Abraham and His faithful Christian people will know that it is the Lord who helps and guides them. Ezekiel 34:27-30, Isaiah 49:8-12, Psalms 107

Zechariah 10:7-12 The Ephraimites, [the leaders of God’s people. Genesis 48:19] will be as warriors rejoicing in their God. I will whistle to call them in, for I will deliver them from among the nations where I dispersed them. they will return to their own Land, as many people as there was before. Those godless peoples will be brought low, but My people’s strength will be in their God, they will march proudly in His name.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

All the Lord’s people, Christians who believe in Him and keep His Commandments, will enter the new country of Beulah, Isaiah 62:4, after this terrible worldwide judgement of fire. Revelation 7:9 They will join up with the Jewish remnant that will survive in Jerusalem. Zechariah 13:8-9, Isaiah 29:1-4 Those citizens of Beulah will receive the great blessings as promised to the Lord’s people and will live in the Land in peace and security until the time of the Anti Christ. For 3½ years, they will go and live in a place of safety, Revelation 12:14, referred to as Bozrah; [Hebrew = glad tidings] the sheepfold, then to go back at the Return of Jesus for His Millennial reign.  Matthew 24:31

Shalom @Keras.

One must understand that we experience CMSs ALL THE TIME! It's really a rather common occurrence:

"Yes, Earth has experienced Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) in the past, and continues to experience them. 

"Here's why and how CMEs affect Earth:

"CMEs are a normal occurrence: The sun regularly releases plasma and magnetic field from its outer atmosphere, the corona, in the form of CMEs.

"Earth's protective magnetic field: Fortunately, Earth is shielded by its magnetic field (magnetosphere) which deflects most of the charged particles from CMEs.

"Geomagnetic storms: When a strong CME reaches Earth, it can cause a disturbance in the magnetosphere known as a geomagnetic storm.

"Notable past events:

"Carrington Event (1859): This event was the most intense recorded geomagnetic storm and significantly impacted telegraph systems, demonstrating the potential for widespread technological disruption.

"March 1989 Quebec Blackout: A powerful CME triggered a massive power outage across Quebec, Canada, highlighting vulnerability of power grids to space weather.

"August 1972 solar storm: This event caused radio blackouts, disruption of television broadcasts, and even triggered false alerts in nuclear detection devices.

"Modern impacts: While most CMEs don't cause widespread problems, intense ones can disrupt power grids, communications systems (including GPS and satellites), and pose a radiation risk to astronauts.

"Ongoing monitoring: Scientists continually monitor the sun for CME activity and issue warnings to help minimize potential impacts. 

"It's important to remember that most CMEs pass by Earth without causing significant harm to people on the ground due to the protection offered by our atmosphere and magnetosphere. However, as our technology becomes increasingly reliant on systems potentially vulnerable to space weather, understanding and preparing for these events is crucial."

Also, one must check the contexts of the verses one uses for support of a theory. History plays a significant role in the prophecies. While some prophecies are yet to be fulfilled, other prophecies were future at the time they were written, but are now IN THE PAST, having been already fulfilled! The ones in Amos 1 and 2 are already fulfilled! This was GOD'S retribution for the way that the surrounding nations treated the children of Israel when they were taken captive by Assyria and Babylon, later to be freed while under Cyrus the Great of Persia. God took it PERSONALLY when they mistreated those of His people who were left in the Land! He made sure that they received just compensation!

He will do that through His "Messenger," His Messiah, the "angel of the LORD!" While true believing Christians will be included, one must NOT forget that He will cleanse His OWN Land through His Messiah's power, and rescue His people, the ancestors of His Messiah, and their families:

Zechariah 12:1-14 (KJV)

1 "The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel," saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

2 "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem. 3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces [all shall herniate themselves trying to lift it], though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

4 "In that day," saith the LORD, "I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness. 5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart,

"'The inhabitants of Jerusalem [shall be] my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.'

6 "In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, [even] in Jerusalem."

7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify [themselves] against Judah. 8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David [shall be] as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.

9 "And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. 10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced," and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn. 11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 And the land (Hebrew: הָאָרֶץ = "haa'aarets" = "the earth/land") shall mourn, every family apart;
the family of the house of DAVID apart, and their wives apart;
the family of the house of NATHAN apart, and their wives apart;
13 The family of the house of LEVI apart, and their wives apart;
the family of SHIMEI apart, and their wives apart;
14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

And, these names are found (in reverse order)  in Yeeshuwa`s mother's genealogy in Luke 3:

Luke 3:23-38 (KJV)

23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age,
being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph,
which was [the son] of Heli,

38 Which was [the son] of Enos,

So, Isaiah 12 takes place AFTER the Resurrection when ALL those who belong to the Messiah shall be Resurrected. (1 Corinthians 15:23).

Revelation 7:9 They will join up with the Jewish remnant that will survive in Jerusalem. Zechariah 13:8-9, Isaiah 29:1-4 Those citizens of Beulah will receive the great blessings as promised to the Lord’s people and will live in the Land in peace and security until the time of the Anti Christ.

Not, JUST "Christians who believe in Him and keep His Commandments, will enter the new country of Beulah!" And, the "Jewish remnant" was in the FIRST Century A.D. They are a much larger group today than they were back then, AND the Resurrection of His people (Ezekiel 37) will have happened by then, as well! It's not just a few Jews - a "Jewish remnant" - who will be there! The Anointed One of YHWH will have an INSTANT Kingdom of MILLIONS when He returns!

In 1 Corinthians 15, which is talking about the Resurrections, Paul said,

1 Corinthians 15:20-28 (KJV)

20 ... But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits (singular) of them that slept. 21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order:

(0) Christ the firstfruits (singular);
(1) afterward THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S AT HIS COMING. 
24 (2) Then [cometh] THE END, WHEN HE SHALL HAVE DELIVERED UP THE KINGDOM TO GOD, EVEN THE FATHER; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

25 For HE MUST REIGN, TILL HE HATH PUT ALL ENEMIES UNDER HIS FEET. 26 The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death. 27 For "he hath put all things under his feet." {But when he saith "all things are put under [him," it is] manifest that "he" is excepted, which did "put all things under him."} 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

 

This reflects the Messiah's parable of "the wheat and the tares":

 

Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 (KJV)

24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying,

"THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN (ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν = "hee basileia toon ouranoon" = "the kingdom from-the skies [ablative plural masculine]") is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him,

"'Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?'

28 "He said unto them,

"'An enemy hath done this.'

"The servants said unto him,

"'Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?'

29 "But he said,

"'Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn."' "
...

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying,

"Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field."

37 He answered and said unto them,

"He that soweth the good seed is (=) the Son of man;
38 The field is (=) the world (Greek: ὁ δὲ ἀγρός ἐστιν ὁ κόσμος = "ho de agros estin ho kosmos" = "the but field is the world-government" = "but the field is the world-government");
the good seed are (=) the children of the kingdom;
but the tares are (=) the children of the wicked [one];
39 The enemy that sowed them is (=) the devil;
the harvest is (=) the end of the world (Greek: ὁ δὲ θερισμὸς συντέλεια τοῦ αἰῶνός ἐστιν = "ho de therismos sunteleia tou aioonos estin" = "the but harvest with-end of-the age is" = "but the harvest is with-[the]-end of-the-age") ;
and the reapers are (=) the angels."

Kosmos is defined as "an apt and harmonious arrangement or constitution, order, government."

This now gives us the definitions for the elements that may be replaced in the original parable:

24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying,

"The kingdom of heaven is likened unto the Son of man which sowed the children of the kingdom in his world-government: 25 But while men slept, the devil came and sowed the children of the wicked [one] among the children of the kingdom, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the children of the wicked [one] also. 27 So the servants of the Son of man came and said unto him,

"'Sir, didst not thou sow the children of the kingdom in thy world-government? from whence then hath it the children of the wicked [one]?'

28 "He said unto them,

"'The devil hath done this.'

"The servants said unto him,

"'Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?'

29 "But he said,

"'Nay; lest while ye gather up the children of the wicked [one], ye root up also the children of the kingdom with them. 30 Let both grow together until with-[the]-end of-the-age: and in the time of with-[the]-end of-the-age I will say to the angels, "Gather ye together first the children of the wicked [one], and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the children of the kingdom into my barn.""

Now, we can continue...

40 "As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world (Greek: τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου = "tou aioonos toutou" = "the age this-one"). 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of HIS KINGDOM all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun IN THE KINGDOM OF THEIR FATHER. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."

It's important to understand that TWO Kingdoms are coming: First will be the Kingdom of the Son, the Messiah, and then will come the Kingdom of the Father, YHWH God! And, the transition will occur immediately after the Great White Throne's Judgment.

We're not told in either passage how long the Messiah's Kingdom will be, but John tells us it will be for a thousand years in Revelation 20:1-7. It will be based upon the 1,000-year chaining of haSatan in the bottomless pit, followed by the "little season" in which he will recruit his followers, as well as the FINAL battle in Revelation 20:7-10. Paul's words, "The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death," is found within Revelation 20:14, "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.".

Hopefully, one will take the TIME to read this entire post. It took me time to write it, and it weaves the passages of Scripture together correctly. Just enjoy it for the passages of Scripture, at least!

TLDR

However I did read how you dismiss the idea of the Lord using a Coronal Mass Ejection to fulfil the many Prophesies about the Lords Day of fiery wrath. As such an event is the only way all the Prophesies about that terrible Day can be literally fulfilled, why you must reject it, is beyond me. 

Another event similar to the Carrington event, would very seriously affect all the world, but Joel 2:2b, says it will be; ....the like has never been known, nor will ever be again.  We ARE told to take shelter from the heat, storms, earth movement and the tsunamis. Isaiah 26:20-21

Shalom, @Keras.

So, you're skipping the nuggets of gold because the tunnel is too long? They're not MY nuggets! They're portions of the BIBLE we claim to love! Oh well, it's your choice.

Again, the Carrington event, which happened in 1859, disrupted communications, but it did NOT "burn up the earth!" And, we get CMEs ALL THE TIME! They're what keep our magnetic field charged, and give us the aurora borealis and aurora australis, the latter which you may be able to see from New Zealand! It's not a bad thing; it's a GOOD THING that God has provided to keep our planet safe from the bombardment of cosmic rays! In other words, GOD PLANNED THEM! These "burps" from the sun are how God provided this protection!

No, I don't think this is how God will "bring fire down from above." He told us in Revelation 6:12-14 (the sixth seal) and Revelation 8:1-9:12 (the first five air-raid sirens or "trumpet soundings") that they will come from meteorites and friction in the atmosphere. They were "stars that fell unto the earth," which we call meteorites - meteors that strike the earth. Some, such as "Ἄψινθος" or "Apsinthos" ("wormwood" or "absinthe"), will sputter, breaking up in the atmosphere, and poison the freshwater sources, but most actually STRIKE the earth or the seas!

I've always enjoyed comic books as a kid, and so, I also enjoy movies and television series that are about those characters. My favorite has always been Superman (whom I believe was patterned after the Messiah Yeeshuwa`). The Smallville series always opens with scenes from the first episode which shows the destruction from the meteorite shower that accompanied his arrival to earth.

The special effects are good, but John wrote of more things they missed in the series, such as "Wormwood" and one striking the sea and killing the sea creatures and ships in the sea and one striking the right spot (the "Key") to open a deep pit in the earth, bringing up creatures that had been trapped in the aftermath of the Flood, which he called "locusts."

While some prophecies are yet to be fulfilled, other prophecies were future at the time they were written, but are now IN THE PAST, having been already fulfilled!

So would the moniker “Futurist” legitimately apply to those who still await the fulfillment of a prophecy that has already come to pass?

but John wrote of more things they missed in the series, such as "Wormwood" and one striking the sea and killing the sea creatures and ships in the sea and one striking the right spot (the "Key") to open a deep pit in the earth, bringing up creatures that had been trapped in the aftermath of the Flood, which he called "locusts."

I wanna say “you can’t make this stuff up,” but the opposite is true in this case. 
 

Interpreting a book of symbols literally will always make a mockery of the prophecy. 

Celestial and terrestrial events in prophecy signify things other than literal celestial and terrestrial events, such as political and/or religious upheaval, rising to power, losing power and authority, etc. 

As far as your assumption about what the locusts represent, you have no biblical warrant to connect Genesis 6 with Jude and 2 Peter 2.

Again, the Carrington event, which happened in 1859, disrupted communications, but it did NOT "burn up the earth!"

No; and neither will the one the Lord will send on His Day of vengeance and wrath. The total burning up of the earth does not happen until after the Millennium. 

Th CME of unprecedented magnitude is the only event which will literally fulfil all the graphically stated Prophesies about that Day.  A comet or an asteroid shower simply does not do it. 

You seem very confused about the sequence of events; that is the 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets and the 7 Bowls, culminating at the 7th Bowl = Armageddon and the glorious Return.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
