Slicky silky Road to Armageddon.

 “And the sixth Angel poured out his vial upon the great River Euphrates and the water thereof, was dried up that the way of the kings of the East might be prepared. Rev 12:6.

 This was a prophetic revelation to John by the Angel of God. What is prophecy? Prophecy is foretelling of the future. Prophecy is also a spiritual gift that God uses to edify the church. Therefore, the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Rev 19:10.

 Prophetically china represent the chief among the kings of the East. Recently ,it was reported that china has developed an ambitious “Road map” called the “Silk Road” that would run from china through major cities of the Middle east ,Arabia ,Europe, Horn of Africa and Asia.

 This road truly has crossed the dwindled (dried up) Euphrates into Turkey, Iran-Iraq, Syria, therefore fulfilling this all important prophecy of Rev 12:6.

 China and its communist leadership may not believe in the bible prophecies, of course they need not to, but they are fulfilling the bible prophecy which is the word of God knowingly or unknowingly.

Chinese leadership, however knows that a great war is coming in the Middle east over the wealth there and they are slickly preparing for it. According to the bible prophecy a great war will be fought in the valley of Megiddo- Armageddon. Rev 16:16.

 The silk road right now is being presented to the public that it is only for economic purposes, but sooner its military uses will become apparent for all to see. Already, some people who can see through the smoke screen in Europe have started protesting against it.

A vial is a vessel or container of judgement .It contains socio-political, economic, natural ,supernatural forces, factors, considerations that led to the preparation of the silk road and leading to the end of time.

These interplay of forces was orchestrated and timed by God  and supervised by the sixth angel.

God and the sixth angel we cannot see, but the way of the kings of the east we can see –The Silk road.

As at the time the prophecy was given 2000 years ago ,it was meant for the time of the end.

And voila! Here we are .The end of all things is upon us. 2 peter 4:7.
Several prophetic writers have written that the prophecy cannot fail. we shall take some quotes from Evangelist Neal Frisby.

THE PROPHETIC ALIGNMENT - "According to Dan. chap. 11 and other Scriptures towards the end of the age there will be four principal power blocks! - The King of the West, (the revived Roman Empire associated to the Middle East and in agreement with the U.S.A. - Next the King of the North, Russia and the communist satellite nations including eastern Europe! - The King of the South, Egypt and the other African nations! - The King of the East, China and the orient nations!" - "These 4 blocks all have their providential purposes in a coming future world empire that we will describe at some later writing!" - "What we have given in this Script is a capsule of events soon to take place alerting the Christians to watch and pray and to work in the harvest as never before!" - "It's high time to awake, time is short! - Symbolically speaking you might say it is evaporating right before our very eyes! - Jesus return is getting near!"

THE KINGS OF THE EAST FULFILLING PROPHECY - "The reason we spoke concerning this large Dam on the Euphrates, at the end of the age besides severe drought in the area, it may be one way the Lord fulfills His divine will! - Because one flick of the switch at the Keban Dam and the mighty Euphrates, the river of Antiquity, will become a trickle and a dry path!" - Read this Rev. 16: 12, "When the angel poured out his vial on the great river Euphrates: the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared!" - "Also Syria has built a three hundred million dollar dam across the great Euphrates at another point! - Plus the Chinese have built a highway that cuts across parts of Asia, bordering Iran, crossing Babylon and the Euphrates, finishing at Syria!" - "The Russians, the Chinese and the rest of the kings of the east will use these roads to come down like a storm ending in a holocaust at Megiddo!" - "Prophecy is alive! - If you have a map you can check the above situations and locations where we first started mentioning these subjects!" - "Here is an article concerning another king of the east! - It reads suddenly Japan is resurrecting its military power, and assuming a new strategic role!" - "Although they will work with the United States now, -:later a radical change will occur in the latter times, and they will join the evil forces of the north and China and the forces of the south to try to destroy Israel!" (Dan. 11 :40-44)

THE EUPHRA TES IN SCRIPTURAL PROPHECY - "Unknown by some, this primeval river starts below the Black Sea and springs from central Turkey! - Just a few years back the Russian engineers built the Keban Dam that backs up the largest reservoir in Turkey! The Euphrates takes in 1800 miles. One of the great classical rivers, the other is the Tigris merging with the Euphrates. Both rivers flow through a fertile floodplain spanning southeastern Turkey, Syria and Iraq (Babylon) and then empties into the Persian Arabian Gulf!" "Some Hebrew scholars believe on the lower stretches of the Euphrates is the site of the Garden of Eden! - Archaeologists are still uncovering evidences of successive civilizations that thrived along its banks, Assyria, Babylon, Chaldea! - It is said the original Garden of Eden was located near the Persian Gulf, taking in Babylon territory and present day Kuwait!" - "Notice most of the world's oil is located here because Eden was once the plant and animal center of the world! And oil is the decayed remains of ancient plant, animal and marine life, so we see the Middle East Garden has become the oil capital of the world!" - "Evidently the center of Eden contains more oil per square mile than any spot on earth! - All this confirms that Eden was a real place! - And this Mid East Garden will be in prophecy again as the age ends!" - "This area will come under the control of the beast! Near the Persian Gulf in Iran (Persia) is the world's largest oil refinery called Abadan! - This word is closely associated with Abaddon, meaning destruction in Rev. 9:11. Probably oil is one of the main reasons for the staging of Armageddon!"

From the foregoing it is very clear that china’s intentions are sinister and they knew it.

                                                  RAPTRANSLATION

1.       WHAT IS RAPTURE AND TRANSLATION?

2.       HAS IT HAPPENED BEFORE?

3.       WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN?

4.       WHO SHALL BE RAPTURED?

5.       WHEN SHALL RAPTURE TAKE PLACE?

6.       WHERE SHALL RAPTURE TAKE PLACE?

7.       WHAT SHALL HAPPEN AFTER THE RAPTURE?

8.       WHAT ARE WE EXPECTED TO DO?

WHAT IS RAPTURE?

Rapture is to feel or express extreme pleasure or enthusiasm for somebody or something. While translation is the process of changing something from one form to another. For the purpose of this write-up we shall combine Rapture and Translation to bring out a message.

In other words, if we combine rapture and translation we have “Raptranslation”. This coinage will kind of merge the two meanings of translation and rapture. Therefore, “raptranslation“ or “rapturous translation” is a state of extreme happiness in the believers to hear the voice of God changing this our mortal corruptible body to immortality as the dead in Christ rises first. 1^st Thessalonians 4:16.

1^st Thessalonians 4:17 says: Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up (lifted up) together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always  be with the Lord. Hence, “Raptranslation” involves extreme joy, change and “lift up” out of the earth. And we are expectant!!

HAS IT HAPPENED BEFORE?

Yes! Genesis 5:24: And Enoch walked with God and he was not; for God took him. The bible did not say Enoch died. NO it says God took him. He was “raptranslated” Heb. 11v5, by faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death. His earthly body was changed for a heavenly body in a twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed for this corruptible shall put on incorruption and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, “Death is swallowed up in victory”.

-          O death where is thy sting?

-          O grave, where is thy victory?

-          The sting of death is sin and the strength of Sin is the law.

-          But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Prophet Elijah was “Raptranslated” into heaven without seeing death. 2Kings 2v1-2, “and it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into Heaven by a whirlwind that Elijah said unto Elisha “tarry here, I pray thee: for the Lord Had sent me to bethel”. 2 Kingsv11: “And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that behold there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire and parted them both asunder and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven” Elijah was taken up to heaven so he would not see death.

WHO SHALL BE RAPTRANSLATED

1 Corinthians 15:57 “behold I shew you a mystery we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound and the dead in Christ shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. From the above, all Christians who are born again and are living holy lives and are alive shall be taken away like Enoch and Elijah. Note that those who were faithful servants of God and were born again and were dead and gone a long time shall be woken up from the grave and they shall put on a heavenly body like us who are alive at the time of Christ’s appearing and we shall meet the Lord in the clouds.

Will people from other faith experience “Raptranslation”? The answer is capital NO. Reason: Act 4:12- ‘neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved’ only the name of Jesus for Salvation. They have trampled the grace of God and free gift of Salvation through Jesus Christ under foot by rejecting Him and have failed to regenerate their spirits through the power of the Holy Ghost and have their sins cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ. As a result, they will not experience “raptranslation” and must suffer tribulation. Jesus Christ is the only way back to God. Do not be deceived by the new age religions. Inter-religious dialogue is not what the world needs but preaching the truth of the gospel with the Holy Ghost and power. Jesus died for the whole world. The dogs under the table have a chance to share the crumbs of the children’s food through faith. Matt 15:26.

WHEN WILL “RAPTRANSLATION” TAKE PLACE?

Matt 24v36-38, But of that day and hour no one knows not even the angels of heaven but my father only. “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the son of man be. For as in the day before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark. Note that Christ was specific about day and hour; but He was equally specific about the season. Let us explain this. In Africa, equatorial region, the rainy season lasts about April-October. If I say I will plant yam during rainy season that means anytime in April-October. But the day and hour it is only I that knows. That defines the beginning and the end of the activity of yam planting. If you are really concerned about when that will happen, you may monitor me to know exactly when. The days of Noah and Sodom were days characterized by pleasure of the flesh and sexual sins like our days.

In California recently there are strong voices going against the Bible not knowing they are fulfilling the scriptures. Violence and corruption is the order of these days. All these are signs.

“Raptranslation” is a supernatural event. When people get so unnatural by being in the sins of Sodom and sins that were prevalent before the flood. How will they partake of supernatural experience? They can never have a supernatural experience. They are only fit for destruction and hell fire.

So, brethren we are in the seasosn of the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He can appear anytime now. Let us be ready. Let no one deceive you; He is at the door. Act 1:1-15 this same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven.

WHERE WILL “RAPTRANSLATION” TAKE PLACE? LUKE 17:34-37

I tell you in that night there shall be two men in one bed, the one shall be taken and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together, the one shall be taken and the other left. Two men shall be in the field, the one shall be taken and the other left.

And they answered and said to him, where Lord? And he said to them, wheresoever, the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

In other words, the saints of God are His eagles and they are all part of the body of Christ. Wherever they are, the Lord will find them out and call them back to Himself.

Some may be sleeping, some may be working; some may be relaxing, some may be praying, preaching and waiting for Him. He will accept the saints unto Himself forever.

You that is reading this now what will Jesus find you doing when He comes?

Take a decision to live for Him, He will direct you and find you where He wants you to be when He comes.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER “RAPTRANSLATION”?

What will the glorified body of the elect saints be like? First here is a definite clue 1 John 3:2, Col 3:4, it says we shall be like him, and we shall see him as he is! He shall change our body into a glorified body! (Phil 3:21) in other words Christ Jesus will be glorified in the saints. Now we know we shall have a body and nature like unto Jesus. Lets see what he did after his resurrection. His body could at will be subject or not subject to the power of gravity (Acts 1:9). We will have this same power when we meet the Lord in the air. (1^st Thessalonians 4:7) we will have instantaneous transportation. Perhaps moving as rapidly as the swiftness of thought! This is way beyond the speed of light that travels at 186,000miles per second. Yet thought is much quicker than the speed of light. Also our body will possess the springs of eternal youth.

The women who saw the angel at Christ’s resurrection described him as a young man(Mark 16:8) yet evidently  he was trillions of years old and probably was created before the time our galaxy ever began. And yet the saints will have the power of this eternal youth. The glorified saints will be recognized as the same person that they were on earth: the same way that Jesus Christ was recognized when He resurrected (John 20:19-20). Those who missed the “raptranslation” will have to contend with the anti-christ and his evil system and receive the mark of the beast. It will be a terrible experience. Be determined to make the rapture.

WHAT SHALL WE DO TO QUALIFY?

Acts 2:37 “Now when they heard this; they were pricked in their heart and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, men and brethren what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them “repent and be baptized” everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receiveb the gift of the Holy Ghost, for the promise is unto you and your children and to all that are afar off even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Therefore, the first step is REPENTANCE FROM ALL EVIL works, secondly be baptized in the water and the Holy Ghost and to go unto perfection waiting for Jesus (Heb 6:1)

Soulsworth Index

Soulsworth simply put ,means the worth of a soul.

 How do we get to understand how much value God Almighty attaches to a single soul that has ever come to the world.The value that God attaches to the life of every individual is unfathomable. Humanly speaking, we cannot fully understand how dear we are to God.

This made Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to ask " For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul" Mark 8:36. For what can a man give in return for his soul. Mark 8:37.

Throughout History ,people have been deliberately killed as a result of orchestrated war, assassination, error of judgement etc.

Sometimes when people lose their lives as result of wars, when one looks very deep into the reasons behind the wars ,it is often traced to resource control, ego and sundry issues we may not be able to enumerate all.

Let us assume that a war was started as a result of who controls the entire oilfield of the whole world and eventually one man gains control of the entire world resources and after basking in his victory and he eventually dies trying to protect these oilfields for himself alone and his family and using the money to sponsor terrorism and all manner of evils. Jesus asked a question "what is the profit" of that exercise. Riches without Christ (the fear of God) ends in Hellfire. He has gained the whole world and lost his soul.

What if in the process of gaining control he kills other people, that means he has lost his soul and have caused others to lose theirs . His soul cannot equal the riches of the world comparatively and in addition to this, other peoples souls .The bible ask what can a man give in return for his soul. He will find out eventually that all is vanity.

Now putting the worth of a soul in perspective, we can say it is utter wickedness and lack of spiritual understanding that will make some one take another's life in a bid to protect oilfields or any other riches.
If we cannot give any thing in exchange for our soul ,how do we account to God for our fellow human being's life whose untimely death we have caused.
So ,let us put a number to soulsworth. We assume that the world's population is 7 billion. As God cares and loves the entire world population, so does He have absolute care for a single person.
Sometimes you hear people say only one person was killed, only five persons were killed,this sounds as if these people are worthless.But the scripture says,all the wealth of the world cannot equate to one soul lost

Souls worth index(SWI) is a measure of the number of people that lost their lives during an administration's tenure. Conversely, a measure of the number of people that got lifted out of poverty to attain to their God given potential and lived a fulfilled life and die of natural causes. Therefore,soulsworth index can be negative or positive - SWI -+7 billion.

Soulsworth Index is a 'Smart'( specific, measurable,articulate,reliable, timely) barometer that helps leaders and individuals assess and minimise the impacts of their words,actions and inactions that could lead to untimely deaths.

Soulsworth Index is a numerical quantification of the impacts of our thoughts, our words,actions and inactions that determine whether our brother/sister,kinsmen/kinswomen,country men/ country women and infact humanity die prematurely or live to fulfill their God given potentials and destinies.

Therefore, from presidents of countries to police officers to doctors to administrators,to drivers and infact, to all, we can mirror our actions on this and be very careful on the job.

As far as God(the most beneficent,the most merciful,the most High creator of All life) is concerned the only tolerable number on this index is zero. And acceptable number is +( 1 - 7 ) billion. And the unacceptable number is -(1 - 7) billion- Nuclear Annihilation. Hence,God expects no one to be lost under our lackadaisical and thoughtless and wicked watches except He calls such one.

Therefore, when we are seeking for leadership positions ,are we looking for it with intention to improve the life of all or we want to kill some people to keep others alive?

 In pursuit of our daily duties,how many people do we contribute to uplift spiritually,physically,emotionally and financially. These actions stackup our souls worth values

Hence, God has Zero tolerance for the shedding of blood and wars. Let us put Boko Haram's killings in Nigeria's North East, herdsmen killings at Agatu, and Enugu  in perspective. We can measure the soulsworth index of the current and past government of Nigeria as SWI North East  = - 20,000-1m, SWI Agatu = - 500-1000, SWI Enugu  = - 200-300. The bulk stops at the government table. That is why they will inherit the soulsworth  responsibility because it is the duty of government to protect life and property.

 Though the bible said the death of  God's saint is pleasing in His sight ,but not through orchestrated mayhems because He knows that ,that particular soul will not be able to find his way back to God ,but hellfire that is made for unprepared and unrepentant souls.

It is only God through natural means and at ripe age that has the singular right to take some ones life.
Therefore, when we kill one another we should start to come to terms with the gravity of what we are doing. Do not destroy what you cannot create.
