LIGHT

                                    2017 GLOBAL FORECAST UPDATE MAY 2017

                                                                                   MAY 31, 2017
Isaiah 21:6
"For this has YHWH said to me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees"
Ezekiel 33:7
"Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me."

Showing the dirt on the face of humanity is not necessarily an easy task. One doesn’t always make friends that way. The above mentioned scripture in Ezekiel plainly shows the seriousness of just such a task. To see trouble coming and remain silent is to take great responsibility in the punishment that is unleashed. That is not a responsibility that we wish to assume. We do not claim to be the ultimate authority on the events we post; we merely see the reports and then share with our audience what we have found. It is up to each individual to decide what to do, if anything, with the information they read. Hopefully, for those who are inclined to believe the prophecies written in the holy books they will search their scriptures, as well as the headlines, to see if things are adding up in such a way that making preparations would be a sound idea.
As we venture toward the end of this jubilee year we are likely to see fear increase as violence and anger heats up for the upcoming summer. Our sense of security may very well be threatened in a much greater way. With the invisible war, which is the root of all the earth’s conflicts today, we need to prepare for more staged and controlled terror attacks by angry individuals, some controlled against their very will through Project MKUltra. Those who have held the earth captive for centuries have just about lost their grip of control and they are acting out of desperation. Donald Trump is in the middle of the whirlwind and will be hard pressed to survive it. However, truth will prevail on many fronts during and after the rough ride that we, as a planet, have begun to embark on. 
As we review the following highlighted areas, see how they may affect us, our loved ones, our community, our nation, and our world. Then we can search the holy writings on active ways that we may be able to make a change. We’d like to share a quote with you: “Think and act with determination as if what you intend to do makes a constructive difference. It does.” The Following, is our ever present list of topics that we have asked our readers to keep a close eye on:

• Donald Trump doesn’t make it through a full term of his presidency
• We continue to see an increase in the amount of record natural disasters
  
• We see a dramatic rise in sea levels
  
• Great scandals continue to cause great men and women to step down. Some may even get arrested
  
• Terror strikes around the globe continue for a while
  
• The human population continues to become increasingly angry for a while
  
• Increases in diseases continue, and “cures” are touted to be found to eradicate them
  
• Disruptions in travel continue
  
• Food shortages spread, before there is a so-called solution
  
• Global financial unrest leads to a global currency reset
  
• There is an extraterrestrial disclosure by major governments or undeniable sightings of our alien neighbors
  

Hosea 4:1-3 reads: “Hear the word of YHWH, O children of Israel, for YHWH has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of YHWH in the land; there is swearing, deception, murder, stealing and adultery. They employ violence, so that bloodshed follows bloodshed. That is why your land dries up, and all who live therein waste away; the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens and even the fish of the sea are taken away.”
In our next section we see scores of cattle, birds, fish, and other wildlife struggling to exist in an environment that has been thrown out of balance. We wonder, if we as humans understand the magnitude of how this loss of life impacts us all. Friends, if the beasts of the field, and birds of the heavens, and fish of the sea die off, eventually it will be our turn as well.
We can return to the wisdom and knowledge of our Source to practice truth, compassion, and mercy. We can change our minds from deception and selfish ambitions, to a mindset that looks out for the well-being of all. It starts with a single thought by a single individual and grows to a collective consciousness of many. We can start with thoughts of love and care for our environment and our animal companions that live within it. Reading the next section we will see that there is not a moment to waste. To “have dominion over” does not mean to rule over, but rather to work creatively with, as a species that houses greater consciousness. Let us determine to learn and practice the life giving principles of Our Creator so that all the inhabitants upon the land may reap the benefits.

                                                EARTHQUAKES IN PLACE AFTER PLACE

Isaiah 13:11-13“I will bring disaster on the world, and their own iniquity, on the wicked. I will put an end to the pride of the arrogant and humiliate the insolence of tyrants. I will make man scarcer than gold and mankind more rare than the pure gold of Ophir. Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will shake from its foundations at the wrath of YHWH on the day of His burning anger.” 
In the above scripture the prophet Isayah wrote that YHWH would put an end to the pride of the arrogant by making the heavens tremble and the earth shake from its foundation. In the following headlines we see many places across the globe where the earth is shaking, cracking, and causing massive destruction. How about this? What if each person set his or her own mind to end the pride and arrogance that lives within himself, or herself? What if each one decided to end the iniquity and wickedness in their thoughts and actions? What if we all chose to humble ourselves to our Source of life by showing love through patience, compassion, mercy, selflessness, and kindness one to another? Would there be any reason for us to attract the corrective measures of our Source? We think not. As you read the next section featuring earthshaking events over a magnitude 5.5, think about how the attitudes we display today may turn our very lives upside tomorrow. 
In May 2017 the USGS recorded 10,589 earthquakes. Eight hundred and two were a magnitude 4.0 or above. Not all the following 35 made the mainstream news this month; however, they did register above a magnitude 5.5:

                                                      OTHER EARTH SHAKING EVENTS

Following, we read of other earthshaking events in the form of explosions, avalanches, sinkholes, landslides, and volcano eruptions. These events have devastated the lives of our neighbors around the world. Something is happening on our planet, and if we can remain still in mind for just a moment, we will begin to feel that something is wrong. We can all do our part in taking small conscious and thoughtful steps in making it right, first with ourselves and then others will react to our energy. If nothing else, after reading this section start by offering an earnest prayer for the lives lost or maimed, this would be an indication that the collective consciousness of humanity can unite regardless of time and space. What do we have to lose, but our very humanity? The following are just a few earth shaking events that took place in May:

                                                   NATURAL WEATHER EMERGENCIES

It may not be Zeus hurling thunderbolts out of the sky; nor Poseidon swelling the waters till they engulf our streets and homes, but when you read the next section you will get a snapshot of how weather events are seemingly getting a bit out of hand. Much like Hollywood may illustrate angry gods throwing major tantrums. Events that take place outside of us appear to be out of our control. We surely don’t make the waters swell, or the winds mix houses, trees and debris indiscriminately to land in a crumpled pile of rubble. We do however, control our inner environment and how we choose to relate to those things outside ourselves. When we as a race learn how to temper our inner environment to move in equanimity regardless of conditions around us, we will each have our part in effecting the environment that appears to be outside of us also. Yes we can see a decrease in all of the following disasters:

                                               ENVIRONMENTAL DISTRESS AND DISEASE

Deuteronomy 28: 58-62 says: “If you do not carefully observe and do all the words of the law, that are written in this book, in order that you may reverence this glorious and reverent Name: YHWH your Father, then YHWH will bring upon you and your descendants fearful plagues, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. He will also bring back upon you all the diseases of Egypt which you were afraid of, and they will cling to you. Every other sickness and every other disaster, which is not written in this book of the law, YHWH will also bring upon you, until you are destroyed. You will then be left few in number…”
Reading the above passage it would be easy to conclude that when people do not obey the laws written in the Holy Scriptures they exact the wrath of an angry god who dishes out punishments like greasy fast food orders. What we may fail to understand is that it is our own defiance to universal principles, which are relatively set, that disrupts the spiritual equilibrium and causes negative reactions to manifest in our surroundings. The following news headlines show an environment in distress. A curse (corrective measure) causeless does not come (Proverbs 26:2). So let’s take a look at the curses (corrective measures) and consider how our behavior may have contributed to the causes.

                                                                SIGNS OF THE TIMES 

Just as road signs direct the driver on how to travel down any given road, so do the signs in the earth and heavens guide us on our navigation through life. YHWH,in His magnificence placed all sorts of signs within the heavens, the earth, and within our very bodies. However, we must learn to see, hear, and read them. If we become still and observant, He will reveal to us how to order our steps to find safety underneath the canopy of His wings. We must become still so that we will hear. To ignore the signs is to risk being swept away in a torrent of destructive life lessons. The next couple of sections may be signs well worth paying attention to.

                                                         GLOBAL ECONOMIC UNREST

When people feel like their security is threatened they may either want to run away from the situation, or fight for what they think is at stake. Often, in this society, we equate our stability and security with our financial status. If this was the case it would stand to reason that if our finances are at risk, so are we. In reality, this could not be farther from the truth. It is our Source who is our security and stability. In Psalm 91:1-2 we read: The one who lives under the protection of the Most High dwells in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to YHWH, My refuge and my fortress, My Father, in whom I trust. The dark powers around and about us want to keep us in the dark as to where the Almighty dwell and where our true power lies. They have set up an elaborate illusion that money is our source of strength, and sadly, many have fallen for it - hook, line, and sinker. In doing so, when this false god crumbles and falls, our sense of security crumbles with it. Then we truly have desperate people, communities, states, and nations ready to do whatever it takes to regain the strength of this god. This anxiety feeds the dark forces, and in stress and warring we unknowingly sacrifice our children and ourselves (on so many levels). In the next section we see unrest in the financial sector which undoubtedly leads to unrest in the minds of any affected by these conditions, those who have not yet truly made the Almighty their refuge, in which they trust.

                                                        GLOBAL ECONOMIC RECOVERY

What better way to lull people back into a false sense of security, than by creating it? In this next section we see the promise of a global recovery. If the conditions of financial unrest we read about in the last section left people feeling a bit shaky about the god in whom we trust, then this next section may reinstate their faith as we see a global economy which seems to be making a comeback. The question to consider is this: is the god in whom we trust one in the same as the only Source of power who emanates throughout the universe? 
The global economic recovery is being set up and it will fully take effect after some level of economic stress. We mentioned in the last forecast, that the engineers of this created matrix that we experience as reality, will use a purported global economic recovery plan to continue to herd and control the minds of the people. Below we see the continued manipulation of their elaborate plan:

                                                               GLOBAL SOCIAL UNREST

Proverbs 22:24 Don’t make friends with an angry man, and don’t be a companion of a hot - tempered man , or you will learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare. We’re willing to bet that if many people followed the preceding proverb there would be a lot of friendless people around the globe, and here at home. This is not making light of the following headlines, because honestly, some of the issues are indeed quite serious. The point is this: riots, protests, arrests, attacks, and the like, do not come about because of a peaceful, long suffering, and tolerant attitude. The unrest that we will read about in this section is fueled by an underlying current of anger, fear, and desperation in some form, or fashion. We can expect to see an increase before it comes to an end.

POWERFUL PEOPLE ROCKED BY PUBLIC SCANDALS, LOSE POWER, SOME THEIR LIVES

Hebrews 13:17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account, so that they can do this with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you. A very important part of that message is that our leaders are supposed to watch over our souls. This would mean that our leaders would lead in a manner which leads people closer to The Source of all souls. This is clearly not the case, and possibly why some powerful people in high places are finding themselves entangled in scandals and controversies. The time is up for those who are not their brother’s keeper and do not look out for the souls of others to be replaced by those who are willing to bear that very fruit. As we read on we see how some powerful people are being called to the task of accounting for their alleged wrongdoing, others are caught in the crossfire.

                                                    DISRUPTIONS IN TRANSPORTATION

Let’s look back at a Psalm we read earlier in this forecast. Psalm 91:9 “Because you have made YHWH - my refuge, the Most High - your dwelling place, no harm will come to you; no plague will come near your tent. For He will give His angels orders concerning you, to protect you in all your ways.” If we take this scripture at its word - all your ways would seem to include travel as well. That’s not to say that if it’s your time to go and heaven opts to take you out through a travel related incident that you were somehow cursed. What we do consider is that if it is not our time to leave this realm, YHWH’s angels will protect us. Our relationship with our only true Source of power may make the difference between an emergency landing, and an all out catastrophic air event. We are seeing more and more disruptions in electrical grid and electronically controlled mechanism. It will get worse and the true reason for it will be seen before too long.

As we close this May forecast we prepare for the summer ahead. We don’t know exactly what we have to look forward to, but we do believe by making ourselves ready in spirit, mind, and body we can be of some use to those who may come round and about us. Preparing in this manner entails taming the ego so that we may be used as instruments of our Heavenly Father. The ego sneaks up in many ways. We can tame this driver of our personality by replacing selfish thoughts, attitudes, and practices with those of loving-kindness. The task before humanity is to become like their Creator: long - suffering, patient, merciful, slow to anger, abounding in faithful love, forgiving wrongdoing, and the like. When we as a people determine to practice the attributes of these universal principles then we can all look forward to the days filled with LIGHT.
