THE FOUR HORSEMEN,AL MAHDI,AND THE MAGNETIC POLAR REVERSAL-part 2
The Four 4 Horsemen, al Mahdi, and the Magnetic Polar Reversal (Part 2)
Commentary on Rev. 6 by Jack Kelley - www.gracethrufaith.com
An Eye For An Eye
In Hebrew the word translated "kinsman redeemer" also means "avenger of blood." The same next of kin who was responsible for buying a relative out of debt related servitude or redeeming his lost property, was also responsible for avenging physical attacks against a relative that resulted in death. The tribulation martyrs are calling for enforcement of this law.
Our Lord Jesus is our Kinsman Redeemer, come to pay our debts and buy back that which our father Adam lost. But He's also our Avenger of Blood, responsible for bringing to justice the one who maliciously murdered our first parents and therefore us. Everyone who sides with Satan, called those who dwell on the Earth in Revelation, will share his punishment, just as we who side with the Lord, called those who dwell in heaven, will share His inheritance.
When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. (Rev. 6:12-14)
As you would expect, since the Tsunami of 2004 scientists have been watching the recent spate of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the Far East very closely. They've found that during the three year period ending in 2005 when the study was conducted, the incidence of underwater quakes and volcanic eruptions had increased by 88% over the norm while continental earthquakes had gone up by 62%. In a single four month period the earth experienced the largest three earthquakes in the last two hundred years. Most of this increased activity came in the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, a chain of 160 active volcanoes stretching from the East Asia rim to the West Coast of the Americas.
During the same time the magnetic North pole has begun drifting across Canada and is headed for Siberia. Also, the strength of the Earth's magnetic field has weakened noticeably, being about 10% weaker now than when scientists began measuring it in 1845. Based on these findings, some scientists are now convinced that a reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles is underway. They're predicting that in 2012 this reversal will be suddenly and dramatically completed with the North pole having the polarity of the South pole and vice versa.
In 2012 the Sun will also experience a polar reversal. Although the Sun's magnetic poles reverse every eleven years, the Earth has never experienced one in the memory of man. This double shift could produce even greater occurrences of massive quakes and volcanic eruptions of a magnitude that could actually cause a significant continental shift.
The Earth's magnetic field helps protect us against harmful rays from the sun, and a polar reversal could cause this field to collapse just like the water vapor canopy around the earth collapsed at the time of the Great Flood. That event brought violent weather and drastically shortened life spans.
The effects of a magnetic field collapse would be even more severe. According to some projections, the electromagnetic energy released from the sun during a polar reversal could cause Earth's upper atmosphere to "erupt in flames" if our magnetic field isn't there to deflect it. Was John referring to this in saying the sky vanished like a scroll being rolled up? No one knows. We can only imagine what a sudden reversal of magnetic poles would do to life on Earth. Predictions range all the way from a temporary increase in the frequency and severity of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes to a worldwide disaster of "Biblical proportions." The convergence of other prophetic timelines leads me to believe that the 6th Seal Judgment might very well be John's description of this coming dual Magnetic Polar Reversal. (See "The Convergence Of Prophecy And Current Events" referenced below.) If so we're really getting close to the Rapture.
Who Invited Them?
What's more, in 2005 a branch of Orthodox Judaism announced that their messiah figure (not Jesus) would arrive in 7 years. That's 2012. And 2012 is one of those "hot button" dates in occult and new age prophecies. The ancient Mayan calendar ends in December of 2012, and pagans view this as a sign that this age is coming to an end, and our utopian future is just over the horizon. The internet is bulging with websites on the subject, so be careful as you research this critical date. And above all, remember that the Rapture of the Church comes in Revelation 4. Revelation 6 happens after we're gone.
Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?" (Rev. 6:15-17)
It's no surprise that verse 15 is reminiscent of Joshua 10:16. Of the 404 verses in Revelation, 280 are taken from the Old Testament. As they hide, the kings of the Earth unknowingly utter a prophecy we should all read carefully. "The great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?" This passage has always been associated with the beginning of God's wrath. The view that His wrath begins with the bowl judgments of Revelation 16 is a newcomer to studies of prophecy, and is incorrect. The Wrath of God begins in chapter 6, placing the Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church in Chapter 4, right where pre-Trib Rapture believers have seen it all along.
Now What Do We Do?
The number and pace of life affecting events on Earth is unprecedented. It's becoming more and more difficult to keep track of them all. A Jewish Messiah, a Moslem Messiah, and the anti-Christ are waiting in the wings, ready for the cue to take center stage. The New Age Utopia is eagerly anticipated. There are wars and rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes and pestilence. Our Lord likened these to birth pangs, signs that begin as mild, widely spaced, surges. As the time for the birth draws nearer, they increase in both frequency and intensity, until it's hard to tell when one stops and the next one begins. And so it is now. But then He said, " So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near." (Luke 21:31) This is the time for us to be standing tall and looking up. If you listen carefully, you can almost hear the footsteps of the Messiah. 03-12-06

If you're going to mention Pre-wrath, you should know and understand the position. We are misrepresented all the time. Here is a very simple two page article that will explain the basics.
http://thepre-wrathtribune.blogspot.com/2006/02/pre-wrath-is-meat-and-potatoes.html
If it doesn't show up, just go to my blog, look in the "Must Read" sidebar, and click "Pre-wrath Simplified." I would also be glad to answer your questions.
Sincerely,
Dave
