Recent Observations
In the past several days have been coming across info. that is pointing towards an awareness of changes that are or may rapidly begin to take place, saw a few programs on the survival of the Jewish people and the miraculous formation of Israel as a nation after 1700 years in exile. Also viewed several programs on prophesy, one which I found very interesting in format was called Epicenter which will again air on TBN (www.tbn.org) this Friday. The program had various interviews with former political representatives from Israel, and other news worthy details. Last night I was listening to Perry Stone and heard some very interesting parallels and symbolism in The Days of Noah and the link to prophesy known as End Times. Noah used a dove to determine the appropriate time to disembark, the dove is present in the New Testament account of Jesus' Baptism... representative of the Holy Spirit. Noah's dove on it's last return brought back an Olive leaf, Jesus spoke about being part of the branches of the Tree, the apostle Paul spoke about gentiles being grafted into the Tree. Timeframes and numbers were also correlated with the Feast of Trumpets and signs towards the return of Our Lord.If you have an opportuntiy to watch Manna-fest this week feel free to share your observations. I also see in this the element of water, where during Noah's days in was used to cleanse by means of destruction, later Jesus emphasizes that to be born of water (& the spirit) is necessary to enter into the Kingdom of God... the dove being the representative of the Holy Spirit in both accounts. Another revelation to me was that Noah a time after the flood was found drunk with wine in a field, Jesus at Caanan turns water into wine, He also says in the scriptures that New wine can not be placed in old wine skins... my previous journal entry on New Creations points out a transition from dust to water, and from water to wine... the complete transformation into glorified bodies (garments of salvation, robes made white). All this is addressing that with Israel being in existence now for 60 years, fullfillment of the scriptures are taking place and their secrets are being disclosed, the pouring out of God's Spirit upon all flesh. Continue to be watchful and stay close to the Lord. "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3 God bless you!

Joe, I believe the birth pangs are getting closer. It amazes me we are living in the time that our redemption is soon to appear. Thank you for bringing to our attention how close the end of the age is.

The Parable of the Ten Virgins
25:1 Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,
4 but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.
5 As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.
6 But at midnight there was a cry, Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.
11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, Lord, lord, open to us.
12 But he answered, Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.
13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
