The garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness




“Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.” (Joel 2:1-3).

“A whole town was wiped off the face of the Earth in the matter of 8 hours.”
“There is nothing left. All my neighbors, except one, are gone.”


I don’t claim to know everything about what is happening with the wildfires. And contrary to what many people have said to me, I don’t believe everything I hear and see on the internet. But, it occurs to me that the skeptics not seem to believe those YouTube videos because they don’t want to believe the videos.

What I’ve been seeing there aligns with Bible prophecy in accordance to all that Jesus has given the Seventh-day Adventist church, and there can be no other guiding light today. That Bible prophecy has been my guiding light on current events of late.

“The present is a time of overwhelming interest to all living. Rulers and statesmen, men who occupy positions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes, have their attention fixed upon the events taking place about us. They are watching the relations that exist among the nations. They observe the intensity that is taking possession of every earthly element, and they recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place, ― that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis.The Bible, and the Bible only, gives a correct view of these things.” Prophets and Kings, p. 537.

So, what do these “wildfires” all mean? Where are they all going? I have some thoughts and conjectures, which I want to speak to, but like I say, I’m going off of Adventist biblical prophecy. Why must I do my best to warn of the coming trouble? Because of the principle of Esther 4:8-14 and Ezekiel 3:17-21.

“He [Mordecai] gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people….
Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews.
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Est. 4:8,13,14).

Isn’t it our duty to give warning to so many, whether they are willingly ignorant or not?

The people in the videos have given first-hand, eye-witness accounts of what happened to them. They are trying to let others know what they saw with their own eyes. Will anybody hear them? Will anyone believe them?

“Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at My mouth, and give them warning from Me.
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.” (Eze. 3:17-21).

“Moreover He said unto me, Son of man, all My words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.” (Eze. 3:10).

Why did “the northern army” (Joel 2:20), “My great army” (Joel 2:25), quoted at the top sweep through the land of promise? Was it punishment? Was it the Lords stumblingblock? Yes, to both. Doesn’t this sound so much like the trumpets’ prophecy of Revelation with its “locust…, ...cankerworm, ...the caterpiller, and the palmerworm” (Joel 2:25)? Isn’t Joel’s message what the symbolism of Revelation 9’s Apollyon (“destroyer) locust prophecy was based on?

“And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.” (Rev. 8:13-9:4).

They would devour all faith and joy, freedom and peace in the land.

“O LORD, how long shall I cry, and Thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto Thee of violence, and Thou wilt not save!
Why dost Thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.” (Hab. 1:2-10).

“And when they [the Lord’s Dark Ages witnesses] shall have finished their testimony [post-1798], the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.” (Rev. 11:7).

“Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.
Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
For a nation is come up upon My land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.
He hath laid My vine waste, and barked My fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.” (Joel 1:2-7).

“And the LORD shall utter His voice before His army: for His camp is very great: for He is strong that executeth His word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth Him of the evil.
Who knoweth if He will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind Him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare Thy people, O LORD, and give not Thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?” (Joel 2:11-17).

Yes, the prophecy of Joel is very pertinent to our day, because his prophecy was used as a template for John to wake up God’s people concerning Nebuchadnezzars ancient neo-Babylon and also the final Babylon that would bring another war upon our eternal salvation, to awaken Jesus’ sleeping virgins to the urgency of today’s current events—all of current events. The seven trumpets prophecies are not a fulfillment of something that happened in the Middle Ages, but a last days’ event, even as the ancient feast of trumpets had a major bearing on the Day of Atonement ten days later, to warn everyone of the Day of Atonement and to leave no one with an excuse for not getting ready for it. Aren’t we in the antitypical Day of Atonement? Then the seven trumpets of Revelation 8 and 9 have tremendous ramifications on these last days, and warn us of the woes of the symbolic locusts of the bottomless pit.

What do those locusts do? They cause torment through fire and smoke and brimstone (which is what the third angel’s message is about). They devour every resource for “the new wine” (Joel 1:5) of joy and peace. Jesus said He wouldn’t drink of it until we were all safely in the kingdom through His High Priestly ministry. And today in this investigative judgment we must be ever so careful not to take our rejoicing to the extreme and go beyond our Master.

We have this caution. “But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.” (1Cor. 7:29-31).

We must rejoice and again I say rejoice. But when we worship our God we must follow the instruction of David who loved Jesus with all his heart, “Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling” (Ps. 2:11). Ours must be a balanced joy, a true-hearted worship before God, not “feignedly” (Jer. 3:6-10), or flattering Him with our mouths and lying with our tongues, see (Psalm 78:36), but truly, genuinely. “They that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24).

So, what do the huge conflagrations in California have to do with worshiping God? What do they have to do with the fifth and sixth trumpets that warn of the strong delusion and perdition of the final production to which Satan brings “all the world” (Rev. 13:3), “peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues” (Rev. 17:15), “them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people” (Rev. 14:6)? “The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is”. (Rev. 17:8).

How could U.N. Agenda 21 fit into all of this? It would help if you would Google “biodiversity map”. All the red areas are labeled, “No human habitation.” And the yellow areas are labeled, “Limited human habitation”. The green areas are labeled “Human habitation”. You will see that the United States is mostly red and yellow. The United Nations has mandated America to become a vast nature reserve. No more freedom-loving Protestant America. No more Protestant U.S. Constitution that separates church and state and puts the church in her proper place—a supportive help-meet to the nation, a behind-the-scenes silent strength from above, rather than a great, militarized, persecuting Christian religion. No more troublesome Protestantism. No more troublesome Protestant Bible.

Here’s the key. The beast of Revelation 11:7 and 9:1 and 17:8-11 is more than the beast from the Dark Ages returning to life with the help of apostate Protestant America. The locusts are the Jesuits and beast of the final Revelation prophecies is a Jesuit papacy. The Jesuits were the solution to the hemorrhaging of the Dark Ages papacy. The Jesuits’ sole purpose was to wipe Protestantism off the face of the earth. How could they possibly do that to the blessed nation of Protestantisms God? Here’s how they would: They would corrupt the Protestants and lead them to a counterfeit revival and false worship, like the Balaam did to Israel in Baal-peor, and lead them to suffer the automatic judgments of God. This would lead to the torment that occurs when the people of the Lord are separated from their God and their hearts end up with a God-sized hole in them.

Has that happened to Protestant Americans? Haven’t we become fully corrupt and completely forgetful of our God of the Reformation? Haven’t even the churches disowned their Protestant covenant with the only true God. Haven’t they welcomed their old enemy from the Dark Ages, from whose terror-ridden captivity Jesus delivered them five hundred years ago and said to them, “the [papacy] whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever” (Ex. 14:13).

What have we Protestant Americans done to this land flowing with milk and honey, the bounties from which we were to “rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you” (Deut. 12:12)? Haven’t we turned this paradise into a land of Canaanites, filled with abominations?

And what has been the Lord constant warning to His Protestants, as they faithfully studied and read the book that they professed to uphold, the Bible and the Bible only?

“Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
Ye shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
Therefore shall ye keep Mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.” (Lev. 18:24-30).

How have we done? We have shot ourselves in the foot.

So, we are in the process of being vomited out of the Lord’s good land, “the pleasant land”, “the glorious land” (Dan. 8:9; 11:41).

“Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.” (Isa. 1:7).

“Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots [both of which the Lord forbade because that meant copying the pagan ancient Egyptians]: their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made” (Isa. 2:7,8).

“Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.
And I will utter My judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken Me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.” (Jer. 1:14-16).

“Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no Latter Rain; and thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
Wilt thou not from this time cry unto Me, My father, Thou art the guide of my youth?
Will He reserve His anger for ever? will He keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest….
Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause Mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.
Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed My voice, saith the LORD.
Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
And I will give you pastors according to Mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.” (Jer. 3:3-5,12-15).

“Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken Me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken Me, and have not kept My law;
And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto Me.” (Jer. 16:11,12).

“And the LORD hath sent unto you all His servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.
 They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:
And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke Me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.
Yet ye have not hearkened unto Me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard My words,
Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon….” (Jer. 25:4-11).

“For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.” (Lam. 4:6).

As a nation, our probation is closing. We have exhausted the patience and mercy of God upon America and the world He sent to protect from papal despotism. But there is a gleam of hope and a silver lining around the dark cloud before us—the Latter Rain of the Holy Spirit.

“And He said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
Then said I, Lord, how long? And He answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.” (Isa. 6:9-13).

But, before that great event takes place, there must be a time of trouble that sends a message to the Lord’s people today—His Adventists and Protestants. They are the holy seed, and in their remnant will be found the seed of the gospel, substantial faith, faith that works, faith that God had protected, and therefore the Jesuits locusts couldn’t devour.

In our approaching time of trouble I foresee a captivity and enslavement. Such a condition doesn’t seem that it could happen overnight, true. But the final events will be rapid ones. How long would it take to set fire to all of America, like has occurred in California? Let’s say that after California has conformed to the U.N. Agenda 21, then what might happen next? The states of Oregon and Washington? Then what? A phalanx of the Rocky Mountain states? Then the Great Plains states? Followed by North Dakota to eastern Texas and afterwards, the Midwest down to Mississippi? And as the national fire continues its sweep to the eastern seaboard, all the way from the west coast the people flee to the major cities and their concrete jungles. Thus, by the end of the great burn-out, everyone who survived the hundreds of millions of cars sudden melting down and houses bursting into flames where no forest fire was, would be huddled into cities and evacuated to a refuge in other countries where they will be put into slavery and concentration camps.

In harshest circumstances and deepest repentance, the remnant of Adventism and Protestantism will have their Bochim and find their everlasting Father.

“And an Angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break My covenant with you.
And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed My voice: why have ye done this?
Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
And it came to pass, when the Angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
And they called the name of that place Bochim [“weeping”, “weepers”]: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.” (Jdg. 2:1-5).

Out of deepest repentance and gratitude will arise the 144,000 who take back the fruits of the Spirit that the locusts devoured.

“Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.” (Isa. 40:1,2).

“And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that He had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.” (Ex. 4:31).

“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.” (Isa. 40:3-5).

“Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you.
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and My people shall never be ashamed.
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and My people shall never be ashamed.
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My Spirit.
And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.” (Joel 2:23-32).

Finally, the Lord will have a people humbled and ready to give the Loud Cry of the fourth angel of Revelation 18:1.

“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.” (Rev. 18:2-5).
