Executive Summary

High school social studies teacher Ron Gochez told UCLA students that throughout the Americas there is a new revolution "about a global struggle against imperialism and capitalism. But, we know that all of that is happening in the context of where we now stand is stolen, occupied Mexico."

Gochez said that there are some 40 million Mexicans in America and that each one is a potential revolutionary. He said that their goal is to take over the United States and make it a country like Venezuela or other socialist nations in this hemisphere. His plan was strikingly similar to that of the Muslim Brotherhood’s 1991 plan for "Islam and its movement become a part of the homeland it lives in."

Let us consider that these are the very same arguments held by the Palestinians against Israel. They claim that Israel occupies their stolen land, and they have made certain areas of Israel their homeland.

If we are to do to others as we would have them do to us, and we as a Christian nation are trying to force the dividing of the land of Israel, then wouldn't our land also be subject to division, according to the tenets of Scripture?

Timeline 2010 to 2019: Events on the Calendar That Could Be Very Significant

I will continue to add new information to our time line as it is discovered and revealed. Never before have we had so many biblically significant events evolving at such a rapid pace.

  • The peace talks in Israel could lead to the Daniel 9:27 seven-year peace covenant, and Benjamin Netanyahu could be the leader who would sign for Israel.

  • Major earth cycles pertaining to Israel, Jerusalem and the U.S. are beginning to occur in 2010 — with many converging in 2011; Eric Hadik has shared that with us, with more coming from him soon.

  • Accuweather's Chief Hurricane Meteorologist Joe Bastardi predicts a total of 16-18 storms this hurricane season that begins June 1 and ends Nov. 30. To put that in perspective, only eight years in the 160 years of records have had 16 or more storms in a season.

  • The back-to-back 'blood-red' total lunar eclipses on the first day of Passover and Sukkoth in 2014 and 2015 is very significant. Three previous sets of back-to-back "blood-red" lunar eclipses occurred right after/or at the time of a very trying times for Jews — with the last two being at the time of two major wars in Israel.

The blood-red moons occurred on the first day of Passover and Sukkoth in the two years after the end of the Spanish Inquisition in 1492 (1493-1494), the two years after Israel's War of Independence in 1948 (1949-1950), and the same year and the year after the Six-Day War in 1967 (1967-1968).

The back-to-back "blood-red" moons on the first day of Passover and Sukkoth in 2014 and 2015 will be the last time this century and the eighth time since Jesus Christ was on earth.

From Mark Biltz's 2008 study:

Four 'blood-red' total lunar eclipses will fall on Passover and Sukkot in 2014 and 2015

  • The 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem falls on May 27, 2017 (Sivan 2, 5778).

  • The 70th anniversary of Israel’s statehood falls on April 20, 2018 (Iyar 5, 5779).

  • A major earthquake, fitting the 14-year pattern, is expected in 2018, which will be Israel's 70th anniversary (more details below).

The Significance of the Time Frame

The peace talks in Israel are moving into a very serious stage; there is an increasing chance that a Psalm 83 war, a major conflict with Hezbollah and Hamas, could be near — which could lead to their demise and the possible fulfillment of Isaiah 17:1 pertaining to the destruction of Damascus.

The battle is intensifying over the city of Jerusalem; the relations of Russia, Iran, Syria, and Turkey are becoming more problematic; there is a rapid movement towards biometric IDs; and the world is quickly moving towards one-world financial, political and religious order and rapid moral decline.

Earth Cycles Converging in 2010-2011, Playing Out Until 2018

Eric Hadik has shared with us the converging of major earth cycles pertaining to the Kingdom of Jerusalem; Jerusalem wars; and April cycles pertaining to Israel and the U.S. I will have a summary of those in next week's news report.

Eric has said there is a new swarm of significant — and potentially catastrophic — volcanic eruptions expected from 2012-2014 with precursor eruptions expected in 2010 and 2011.

Eric said that while much of current, global economic attention has been focused on the so-called 'PIIGS' (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain), the following discussion focuses on a global eruptive group of 'PIIGS' (Pacific, Italy, Iceland, Greece and South America) that are at the highest (cyclic) risk of major volcanic activity.

Similar to the earthquake swarm cycles that have been detailed the past several years (and which portended major events in 2010/2011, including expectations for South American/Chilean earthquakes in the February/May/August/November 90-day-period time frames), the volcanic swarm cycle is also linked to the sun’s 11-year sunspot cycle that just bottomed in 2009 and is increasing now.

However, it is the 22-year sunspot cycle (every other sunspot cycle when the sun's polarity returns to where it was two cycles previously) that has been the most consistent and which augers major volcanic eruptions in Europe (northern and southern borders), South America (Chile, in particular) and the Pacific. However, the United States also plays into this analysis in the coming years.

Major earthquakes cycles point to major events in 2011 and 2018 based on 14-year and 70-year cycles.

Major record-setting worldwide earthquakes have occurred every 14 years since 1906. The years: 1906, 1920, 1934, 1948, 1962, 1976, 1990 and 2004.

A major earthquake, fitting the 14-year pattern, is expected in 2018, which is also Israel's 70th anniversary.

The U.S. dollar: U.S. and world financial market cycles are converging from 2010 to 2014.

We Have Six Potential Financial Implosions

Note: These are not to alarm us but to keep us informed, prayerful and conservative.

  • Commercial real-estate loans are the second-largest loan type after home mortgages. Banks hold more than half of the $3.4 trillion in outstanding commercial real-estate debt. Deutsche Bank AG has projected those commercial-real-estate losses for banks could end up being as high as $300 billion. (Oct. 15, 2009 – The Wall Street Journal)

  • The percentage of U.S. homeowners who owe more than their house is worth will nearly double to 48 percent in 2011 from 26 percent at the end of March, portending another blow to the housing market, Deutsche Bank said on Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2009.

  • Forty percent of U.S. junk bonds to default by 2013 according to Bank of America in September 2009.

  • Obama's federal deficits in the $1.5 trillion annual range with continued decrease in tax revenue to service the debt, Social Security and Medicare: The Wall Street Journal's Jerry Seib writes that the federal budget deficit has become so large, it's time to consider it a natural security threat.

  • $350 billion in U.S. state deficits in the next two years.

  • The precarious financial derivatives exposure: A $670 trillion, high-risk, out-of-control casino that's highly leveraged versus the $50 trillion total annual GDP of all nations. We forget that derivatives almost destroyed global economies in 2008-2009, and finally will by 2012.

  • Further economic collapse potential of European countries. The U.S. is currently on the hook for up to $54 billion in the Greek bailout in a worse-case scenario.

Timeline 2010 to 2019

The following timeline will continue to be filled in as we obtain more relevant events and cycles.

2010

  • January 12 – Haiti's 7.0 earthquake

  • February 27 – Chile's 8.8 earthquake

  • March 19 - Quartet (US, UN, EU and Russia) meets in Moscow and calls on Israel to stop construction in East Jerusalem, freeze settlement construction and begin proximity talks with the Palestinians.

  • March 20 - Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted for first time in 200 years.

  • Intelsat said it lost control of the Galaxy 15 satellite on April 5, possibly because the satellite's systems were knocked out by a solar storm. Intelsat cannot remotely steer the satellite to remain in its orbit, so Galaxy 15 is creeping toward the adjacent path of another TV communications AMC-1 satellite that serves U.S. cable companies. This could be a precursor to the major solar storm expected on May 2013 when some of the world’s 940 satellites will be at risk.

  • April 14-19 - European air space shut down due to ash from Iceland volcano. Over 100,000 flights cancelled costing $1.7 billion in damages. The ashes spread over Europe during Europe's Holocaust Remembrance Week (April 11-18).

  • April 19-20 - Israel's Independence Day - "There is a confluence of two very worrying events," said Michael Freund, a rightist columnist for The Jerusalem Post in a telephone interview. "One is the Iranian threat, an existential threat. Add to that the fact that for the first time in recent memory there is a president in the White House who is not overly sensitive to the Jewish state and its interests. You put the two together and it will affect anyone's mood, even an optimist like me."

  • April 20 - Indyk: Netanyahu must choose: Obama or his right-wing Likud Party.

  • April 20 - Major Gulf of Mexico oil spill begins.

  • May 2 - Nashville flood damages estimated at $1.5 billion in that city alone, with more in Tennessee and Kentucky.

  • May 5-8 - George Mitchell in Jerusalem for peace talks.

  • May 5-13 - Iran, Syria and Hezbollah pounding the war drums. Iran developing cruise missile. Kicked off new "eight-day" war games and military maneuvers in the strategic Persian Gulf waters, the country's second military show of force in less than a month.

  • May 10 - Greek debt crisis - EU and US commit $1 trillion to keep euro from collapsing.

  • May 11 - Russia considering providing nuclear energy technology to Syria and Turkey.

  • May 11 - Accuweather's Chief Hurricane Meteorologist Joe Bastardi predicts a total of 16-18 storms this season. To put that in perspective, only eight years in the 160 years of records have had 16 or more storms in a season.

2011

  • April 19 - First Day of Passover.

  • May 9, 2011 (Iyar 10, 5771) - 63rd anniversary of Israel's statehood.

  • Sunspot cycle’s will continue increasing in intensity.

  • Major earthquakes expected in January consistent with two-year and seven-year cycles.

  • Jerusalem war cycle.

  • Kingdom of Jerusalem cycle.

  • Earthquake cycle.

  • Volcano eruptions 2011 to 2013.

2012

  • Solar storm cycles expected to increase the intensity of volcano eruptions, earthquakes and super storms and disrupt satellites and technologies on earth.

  • The satellite totals: US 437; Russia 95; China 58; Japan 44; India 22; Britain 21

  • A new swarm of significant — and potentially catastrophic — volcanic eruptions is expected from 2012-2014 with precursor eruptions expected in 2010 and 2011.

  • Wired Magazine: The 2012 apocalypse: The next period of intense solar activity is expected in 2012 and coincides with the presence of an unusually large hole in Earth's geomagnetic shield.

  • U.S. Presidential and Congressional elections — November 2012.

  • In the three years beginning in 2012, more than $700 billion in risky, high-yield corporate debt will start to mature. And that could really drop a hammer down on the junk bond market.

    "An avalanche is brewing in 2012 and beyond if companies don't get out in front of this,” Kevin Cassidy, a senior credit officer at Moody’s Investors Service, told The New York Times.

The result is a potential financial doomsday, or what bond analysts call a maturity wall. From $21 billion due this year, junk bonds are set to mature at a rate of $155 billion in 2012, $212 billion in 2013 and $338 billion in 2015.

  • Next in line are companies with investment-grade credit ratings. They must refinance $1.2 trillion in loans between 2012 and 2014, including $526 billion in 2012.

2013

  • NASA says Solar Cycle 24 will peak in May 2013 with a below-average number of sunspots. The great geomagnetic storm of 1859, for instance, occurred during a solar cycle of about the same size we're predicting for 2013."

  • The 1859 storm — known as the "Carrington Event" after astronomer Richard Carrington who witnessed the instigating solar flare — electrified transmission cables, set fires in telegraph offices, and produced Northern Lights so bright that people could read newspapers by their red and green glow.

    A recent report by the National Academy of Sciences found that if a similar storm occurred today, it could cause $1 trillion to $2 trillion in damages to society's high-tech infrastructure and require four to 10 years for complete recovery. For comparison, Hurricane Katrina caused "only" $80 to 125 billion in damages.

  • Under the Obama budget, interest would top 18 percent of revenue in 2018 and 20 percent in 2020, CBO projects. But under more adverse scenarios than the CBO considered, including higher interest rates, Moody's projects that debt service could hit 22.4 percent of revenue by 2013.

  • About 40 percent of all U.S. junk bonds outstanding in late 2008 will likely default by 2013 as government aid measures end and a wall of corporate debt comes due, Bank of America Merrill Lynch said on Thursday, Sept. 17, 2009.

2014

Three previous back-to-back "blood-red" total lunar eclipses occurred on the first day of Passover and Sukkoth right after the 1492 Spanish Inquisition (in years 1493-1494), the 1948 War of independence (in years 1949-1950), and the 1967 Six-Day War (in the years 1967-1968), this pattern points to a very challenging time for Israel and war.

The Jewish Talmud says, "When the moon is in eclipse, it is a bad omen for Israel … If its face is as red as blood, the sword is coming to the world …"

The sages in the Talmud understood that a red lunar eclipse means that God will be bringing judgment to His people, Israel.

  • April 15 - Blood-red moon - First day of Passover (visible: Australia, Pacific, Americas).

  • Aug. 5, 2012 – 9th of Av.

  • The sabbatical year in the seven-year cycle (2008 to 2015) begins on Rosh Hashanah on Sept. 25, 2014, and ends on Rosh Hashanah on September 13-14, 2015 — the day of a partial solar eclipse.

  • Oct. 8 - Blood-red moon - First day of Sukkot (visible: Asia, Australia, Pacific, Americas).

2015

  • April 4 - Blood-red moon - First day of Passover (visible: Asia, Australia, Pacific, Americas).

  • July 26, 2015 - 9th of Av.

  • A seven-year cycle that began on Rosh Hashanah on Sept. 30, 2008, ends on Rosh Hashanah on Sept. 13-14, 2015. The sabbatical year from 2014 ends here, too.

  • Sept. 13 (Elul 10, 5776) - Partial solar eclipse on Rosh Hashanah.

  • Sept. 23 (Elul 20, 5777) - Year of Jubilee proclaimed on Yom Kippur.

  • Sept. 28 - Blood-red moon - First Day of Sukkot (visible: Eastern Pacific, Americas, Europe, Africa, Western Asia).

2016

  • Aug. 13, 2016 - 9th of Av.

2017

  • May 27 (Sivan 2, 5778) - 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem.

  • Nov. 2 (Cheshvan 13, 5778) - 100th anniversary of the Balfour agreement.

2018

The "blood-red" lunar eclipse sequences of 2018 and 2019 fall on the Jewish holiday Tu B’shvat (New Year of Trees). This marks the beginning of the "new year" for trees.

Tu B'Shvat is the New Year for the purpose of calculating the age of trees for tithing. The Torah states that fruit from trees which were grown in the land of Israel may not be eaten during the first three years; the fourth year's fruit is for G-d, and after that, the fruit can be eaten. Each tree is considered to have aged one year as of Tu B'Shvat, no matter when in the year it was planted.

It is customary to plant trees and partake of the fruits of the land of Israel to mark the occasion.

  • Jan. 31 - Blood-red moon - Tu B'shvat.

  • April 20 (Iyar 5, 5779) - 70th anniversary of Israel's statehood –

Yom Ha'atzmaut (national Independence Day of Israel).

  • July 27 - Blood-red moon - 15th of Av.

  • Major record-setting earthquakes have occurred every 14 years since 1906. The last one was the 9.0 Indian Earthquake/Tsunami in December 2004, which points to another one in 2018.

2019

  • Jan. 21- Blood-red moon - Tu B’shvat (visible: South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia).

News Briefs

Israel

The training of Palestinian Authority security forces by the United States may result in huge problems if those forces are called upon to deal with terrorist organizations like Hamas, according to Israeli security analysts … Mordecai Kedar, research associate at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar Ilan University, observes, "When (not if) there will be domestic problems in the PA/Palestinian State, these people will be loyal primarily to their clan rather than to the state, since they will never shoot their brothers or cousins."

JINSA, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs in Washington, has voiced strong reservations about this U.S. training. It is within the realm of possibility that the very PA troops expected to contain Hamas might ultimately be commanded by Hamas precisely what occurred in Gaza, where Hamas armed forces brandished American weapons. (David Bedein and Arlene Kushner)

Confirmation that Iran has acquired from Ukraine a nuclear-capable cruise missile able to strike Israel poses "an extremely serious threat to Israel," according to Yair Shamir, chairman of Israel's Aerospace Industries … "The pace of missile development (in Iran) is much faster than that of the solutions," Shamir said. "The new element is that Iran is already in space" — an intimation that its activities in space were a key element in accelerating Tehran's missile program.

Debkafile's military sources report Shamir, who rarely speaks in public regarding security issues, countered Defense Minister Ehud Barak's efforts to downplay the peril from Tehran and denials that Iran had become an existential threat to Israel. Barak was also challenged by President Shimon Peres who, speaking in Moscow on Monday, May 11, cautioned against nonchalance in the face of the threats to destroy Israel, which come mainly from Tehran. (Debkafile)

Former Fulbright Scholar and Council on Foreign Relations Fellow Barry Rubin says reports are untrue that the Obama Administration has put material pressure on Israel and has cut arms sales to the Jewish state … Rubin, who is editor of the Middle East Review of International Affairs Journal (MERIA), says the U.S. is equipping Israel with GBU-39 Small-Diameter Bombs for its F-15I fighter-bombers.

To put it bluntly, Rubin says, GBU-39s can be used against simpler installations like arms-smuggling tunnels dug by Hamas between Egypt and the Gaza Strip along with Hizballah field fortifications.

Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton expressed general concern regarding the President Obama's pressure on Israel to rid the country of nuclear weapons … Bolton says, "Egypt and the Obama Administration are negotiating right now on an Egyptian proposal for a nuclear weapons free zone in the Middle East."

Bolton told Army Radio that this sounds good "except, when you think about it, there is only one country that resolution is targeted at, and that is Israel. When I was in the Bush Administration, we refused to even talk about these kinds of ideas," Bolton said. "I'd be quite worried about the possible outcome there." (The Jerusalem Post)

International Financial Crisis

The fear that began in Athens, raced through Europe and finally shook the stock market in the United States is now affecting the entire world’s financial business … The increased global anxiety threatens to slow the recovery in the United States, where job growth has finally picked up after the deepest recession since the Great Depression.

"It's not just a European problem, it's the U.S., Japan and the U.K. right now," said Ian Kelson, a bond fund manager in London with T. Rowe Price. "It's across the board."

Over all, United States banks have $3.6 trillion in exposure to European banks, according to the Bank for International Settlements. That includes more than $1 trillion in loans to France and Germany and nearly $200 billion to Spain. (The New York Times)

Spiraling debt is Uncle Sam's shock collar, and its jolt may await like an invisible pet fence … Moody's Investors Service has brought new transparency to its sovereign ratings analysis — so much so that 2018 lights up as the year the U.S. could be in line for a downgrade if Congressional Budget Office projections hold.

Moody's managing director Pierre Cailleteau confirms that for the U.S., debt service of 18-20 percent of federal revenue is the outer limit of AAA territory. Under the Obama budget, interest would top 18 percent of revenue in 2018 and 20 percent in 2020, CBO projects. But under more adverse scenarios than the CBO considered, including higher interest rates, Moody's projects that debt service could hit 22.4 percent of revenue by 2013. (Investors Business Daily)

Connecting the Dots —

America Races Into Prophetic Warnings of Destruction; Russia Accelerates the Times

By Bill Wilson, KIN Senior Analyst

As the White House is pressuring Israel to give up its traditional lands of Judea and Samaria (the "West Bank"); create a ribbon of land across Israel connecting the West Bank with Gaza; and give East Jerusalem to the Palestinian Authority as their capital, Russia and North Korea are working to arm Iran and its vassal state Syria with weapons of mass destruction.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev met with the Hamas terrorist leader Khaled Meshal and Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus to discuss Russia's involvement with the terrorists and the terrorist-sponsoring Syrian leader to open the doors to more political cooperation as well as to the possibilities of providing nuclear power to Syria (as Russia has done with Iran).

At the same time, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that North Korea is supplying Syria, Hamas and another terrorist group, Hezbollah, with weapons of mass destruction. Agence France-Presse (AFP) reports that Lieberman said, "The cooperation between Syria and North Korea is not focused on economic development and growth but rather on weapons of mass destruction."

AFP reports that Lieberman said Syria intended to pass the weapons on to the Lebanese Hezbollah militia and to the Islamic Hamas movement, which rules Gaza and has its political headquarters in Damascus, Syria. Iran and Syria are encircling Israel with the help of Russia, North Korea and China.

Analyst Daniel Greenfield wrote for the Israel Insider, "Like Carter before him, the president has chosen to cut backdoor deals with the Mullahs in Iran, offering them power over Iraq and Afghanistan, in exchange for quieting things down enough to let him hang up a Mission Accomplished banner and pull the troops out.

"'Peace with honor," preferably before the next election. The rape law for Shiites in Afghanistan, the push for a U.S.-funded Hamas/Fatah Unity government in the territories, and the rising expansion of the Taliban are all fruits of this arrangement. If Iran is to be our new best friend under this arrangement, Israel is to be our new best enemy."

There are many who do not believe the Zechariah 12:3 prophecy that all who burden themselves with Jerusalem "will be cut in pieces, though all the people of earth be gathered against it."

Throughout the Old Testament, the Lord God gave his people ample opportunity to turn from their worldly, wicked and pagan ways to avoid judgment. All the while, things worsened in hope that they would turn back to Him. Look at America — on the brink of financial ruin due to politicians spending money they don't have, Islamic terrorist cells within, and natural and manmade disasters costing trillions.

All the while, America's leadership races headstrong into the prophetic warnings of destruction.
