Nuts in the News

[PrisonerOfHope]

You cannot begin to imagine how much this crap infuriates me!     It's because of crackpots like this that unbelievers don't take Bible prophecy - and even Christianity - seriously.  

In the case of this ridiculous "news" story, they don't even have the false facts right.  



Biblical prophecy claims the world will end on Sept. 23, Christian numerologists claim

Published September 15, 2017 Fox News


A Christian numerologist claims that the world will end next Saturday when a planet will, supposedly, collide with Earth.



According to Christian numerologist David Meade, verses in Luke 21:25 to 26 are the sign that recent events, such as the recent solar eclipse and Hurricane Harvey, are signs of the apocalypse.

The verses read:



“25: There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'



"'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.'



Sept. 23 is a date that was pinpointed using codes from the Bible, as well as a "date marker" in the pyramids of Giza in Egypt.



Meade's views are not endorsed by Roman Catholic, Protestant or eastern Orthodox branches of Christianity.



Meade has built his theory on the so-called Planet X, which is also known as Nibiru, which he believes will pass Earth on Sept. 23, causing volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and earthquakes, according to British newspaper The Sun.



PLANET DISCOVERY FUELS INTEREST IN MYTHICAL WORLD OF DEEP SPACE



NASA has repeatedly said Planet X is a hoax.



For a certain branch of evangelical Christianity, Revelation 12:1–2, describes the beginning of what is known as the rapture and the second coming of Christ.



The passage reads: "And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of 12 stars. She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth."



In the passage, the woman is Virgo. On Sept. 23, both the sun and the moon will be in Virgo, as will the planet Jupiter. However, this occurrence happens naturally once every 12 years. There is also a rare alignment, known as "the Lion of the tribe of Judah," which the conspiracy theorists are hanging their hats on.



According to the Express, author Jonathan Sarfati wrote that the same planetary coincidence previously happened four times in the last millennium.



"As usual with any astrology (or Christian adaptations of it), one cherry-picks the stars that fit the desired conclusion," Sarfati wrote, according to the Express. "There is nothing to suggest that 23 September is a momentous date for biblical prophecy, and Christians need to be careful about being drawn into such sensationalist claims."

Unbelievable! Woodstock was largely about drugs, drinking, illicit sex, and debauchery of every kind. Why in heaven's name would anyone in their right might want to associate "Woodstock" with something allegedly Christian?  But then again, it is Crapisma... 



The Next Jesus Movement? 'Holy Spirit Woodstock' Readying to Ignite Revival

10:00AM EDT 9/28/2017 PAUL STRAND/CBN NEWS





(Awaken The Dawn/Facebook)


This vast expanse of public land stretching from Capitol Hill to the Lincoln Memorial has seen many mass gatherings across the decades. But never one aimed simply at worshipping the Savior of mankind around the clock for days in a row. Yet that's what's coming October 6-9.



Tens of thousands of Christians praising and praying will fill some 57 tents, taking up much of that vast space running through the heart of the nation's capital.



David Bradshaw, the visionary and organizer of "Awaken the Dawn," told CBN News, "Starting right at Third Street by the Capitol going all the way down to 14th, which is right there in front of the Washington Monument, there's going to be a tent city. Every state will have a tent. And every tent will be filled with worship and prayer 24 hours a day."



He continued, "We want to throw the biggest celebration of Jesus' worth on this National Mall. Every one of these tents is going to shout to this nation that Jesus is alive and that He's worthy. He deserves to be celebrated above anyone else."



You can find out all the details and how to get involved at AwakenTheDawn.org.



Holy Spirit Woodstock



For years, Christian leaders like Bradshaw and his friend Lou Engle, who runs "The Call" events, have been receiving prophecies that they'd be involved in a national gathering like this on the Mall.



Bradshaw recalls an elder brother prophesying, "You're going to be part of a new Jesus Movement. It's a Holy Spirit Woodstock."



"Our prayer really is that a whole generation, young and old, in America would have a fresh encounter with Jesus' person," Bradshaw told CBN News. "And that's right at the core of our message, is that we want to call America back to Christ."



Only God Himself can bring about such a revival and answer such a prayer. But those behind Awaken the Dawn feel they know how to partner with Him.



"The Lord blesses a people that blesses Him," said Bradshaw's friend Jason Hershey, who runs an ongoing event also on the National Mall called David's Tent. It's been lifting up non-stop worship more than 600 days in a row. He believes that what Awaken the Dawn ignites could bless the whole nation.



'A Ton of Promises'



"In Scripture, there's a ton of promises that happen to a nation that seeks His face," Hershey explained, "from disease being obliterated from your land, establishment of your borders and the healing of relationships."



"And the Bible says that God inhabits the praises of His people," Bradshaw added. "So we believe in that celebration of Jesus' worth, He's going to inhabit it, and He's going to move in power."



Awaken the Dawn wraps up Oct. 9, Columbus Day, with the latest version of Lou Engle's The Call, this year entitled "Rise Up." It's asking millions of women across America to rise up and pray the millennial generation into the kingdom of God, like women did for the youth of the 1960s and '70s in the Jesus Movement.

What a Million Moms Did



Bradshaw explained why that happened then. "A whole generation in the late '60s—psychedelic drugs, rebellion—just going off the ledge. And what happened? A million moms fell on their face and said, 'Not my son, not my daughter. God, pour out Your Spirit.' And He did."



The Call's website about the "Rise Up" event features videos with a number of well-known and outspoken Christian women urging their fellow females to partner with God.



In one, Lindy Conant of the Christian rock group Circuit Riders says of the Lord, "He's calling a company of women to rise up at this moment in history."



Karen Wheaton of The Ramp declares, "We can rise up and see absolute deliverance come to our children, our families, our city and our nation."



"Be who God created you to be and set your world on fire," urges Julissa Rivera, a worship leader and youth pastor with El Shaddai Bethlehem Ministries in Pennsylvania.



How to Make 34 Years of Nonstop Worship Happen



Jason Hershey is personally excited about another goal of the Awaken the Dawn organizers. During the event and after, they'll encourage as many of the nation's churches as possible to send teams across future months and years to come worship at David's Tent so people can keep praising God there for decades to come.



Hershey explained, "I just Googled it up: how many churches are in America? Approximately 300,000. If each church in America would take one hour here at David's Tent, we would be here for 34 years continuous(ly). That's as long as David ruled in Jerusalem."



Organizers will also lay the groundwork to take this worship movement to the entire nation.



"Our goal is to go to every state capital and hundreds of university campuses with public worship gatherings in tents," Bradshaw said, "We're calling it Tent the Nation in 2018."



And Bradshaw stated they're praying even before Awaken the Dawn begins that, "Hundreds of thousands would be saved, not only during the four days, but then out of it as we go to the states."



Hershey concluded, "So, hopefully, Awaken the Dawn is the prayer meeting that never ends."
