Hurricane Harvey, a Prophetic Sign of Things to Come

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

By Nathan Leal  /  Watchman’s Cry

Hurricane Harvey came from nowhere and is now wreaking havoc in Texas and Louisiana. The damaging wake of the storm covers hundreds of miles, and is leaving a swath of brutal destruction. Many cities and towns have been affected and the tally of destruction is going to be one of the developing stories in the days and weeks ahead.

Corpus Christi, Texas is reeling from damage and flooding. Rockport, Texas has become a wasteland and left many in tears.

One of Harvey’s biggest victims is the Houston area, which is experiencing catastrophic and unprecedented flooding. Weather agencies are saying that this weather event is developing into one of the worst floods in American history, if not the worst!

Two feet of rain has already fallen in Houston, but because Harvey’s movement stalled, the rains are going to continue through the coming week. The latest computer models are predicting that Harvey may move back toward the Gulf and restrengthen. Then he will go North towards Houston, which will add more flooding to their already saturated conditions.

By the time the storm is finished, Houston is expected to get between four and five feet of rain. These numbers are staggering and hard to comprehend.

Thousands of people have been rescued from flooded out homes, but tens of thousands of victims remain in stranded in flooded homes without help.

This includes nursing homes. The image below really took place. The picture says it all!

Residents of La Vita Bella nursing home in Dickinson, Texas were trapped due to severe flooding from Hurricane Harvey on Aug. 27.  Trudy Lampson

The Impact

The storm is going to leave lasting impact for years to come. Fuel prices will likely rise, because one third of America’s fuel refineries are located just north of Houston in the Beaumont, Port Arthur area. The economic costs are going to be in the billions of dollars. Houston alone may have $40 billion in damage.

Why is this happening?

In the natural, many would consider this to be just another storm. But when we look at how fierce and unrelenting it has been, as Christians, we must take a second look. I have done that, and I believe that there is a huge prophetic signature on the storm.

My friends, the storm contains a spiritual message. How can I be so sure? Because Jesus mentions, that there would be signs in the heavens, and he also challenged those around him to be discerning of the signs of the time.

Hurricane Harvey is a Prophetic Sign

The name Harvey is derived from several Old Breton sources meaning – “iron” and “blazing.”

It also means, ‘battle’, ‘carnage’ and ‘worthy.’

When we combine all of the derivatives, Harvey means – blazing – iron – battle -worthy for carnage.

I find this interesting, because Harvey has brought carnage to the Gulf Coast like a hot iron that is presently blazing over Houston. And like an assassin, he has chosen Houston for his battle. But it doesn’t stop there.

Corpus Christi

Harvey made landfall by targeting Corpus Christi, Texas.

Corpus Christi is Latin for the body of Christ.

Harvey’s development was quick. It was the heat of the Gulf waters that enabled his strength. The Gulf waters were blazing. Again, it is interesting that Harvey’s name reflects this. His formation took advantage of the hot Gulf waters that fed him, and within 48 hours, he became a category four hurricane.

The Prophetic Sign

Harvey introduced himself to the residents of Corpus Christi and wreaked havoc.

Do you see it brethren? Hurricane Harvey, began his carnage to a city called – “the body of Christ.” And after chastising them, he turned northward toward Houston where he is now delivering carnage.

For those who have the eyes to see, this weather event is a huge prophetic sign!

What is it? In summary, America is now under judgment. This weather event reveals it. Biblical judgment always begins in the house of God first.

First Peter 4:17 tells us –

“For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?”

According to the above passage, when God judges a land, he always begins with his people. Hurricane Harvey did exactly that. It made landfall and harassed Corpus Christi, or “the body of Christ.”

This is a prophetic sign of God’s judgment beginning in the church. But make note that Corpus Christi escaped the catastrophe that Houston is facing. Yes, Corpus Christi received damage, but not on the scale that Houston is undergoing. Houston represents the general population, and Harvey is buffeting Houston relentlessly.

Look at the verse above again. Judgment begins with the body of Christ, but after that, the judgment turns toward the regular folks who do not obey the gospel.

Harvey is a sign of the coming judgment, and yet, Harvey is also a part of the present judgment.

Make note ladies and gentlemen, the storm is a sign to God’s people. Very dark days are ahead. God’s judgment is going to be poured out on America.

For those who would argue that America’s greatest days are ahead, or that MAGA (Make America Great Again) is in play, just take a look at Houston, Texas right now.

Houston is experiencing judgment my friends. But this is just the beginning. The judgment over America is going to take place in four categories. I call this the four fold judgment. The categories are – famine, the invasion of evil, pestilence, and war.

A weather pestilence is presently infecting Houston. There can be no denying it.

What does it mean? What do we do?

My friends, judgment does not mean God hates us. God uses judgment to bring wayward souls back to Him.

Isaiah 26: 9b says…

“…for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.”

This is the word of God folks. Judgment is meant to bring people to repentance. And that is our assignment. Everyone reading this needs to examine their life. All of God’s people need to get their lives in order. Those who are away need to return to their first love. We need to take inventory my friends.

It’s time to clean out the closet, and forsake those things that beset our faith.

More judgment events are coming, and while they are taking place, God wants His people to become refined.

This is why He says that judgment begins first with the body of Christ.

Will God’s people heed this message?

It’s time folks. Jesus is waiting.

In His service,

Nathan Leal

      2Thess 2:10..because they received not THE LOVE (Agape)of the truth, that they might be saved. 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

      123’s of true Christianity v popular & damnable heresies

      #1 “ONE” not triune: ……PART 4 & 5 HOW MANY GODS ARE THERE FOR THE ONE GOD TO TALK TO?? Who was Jesus praying to??!?…. The real question should be … How does having multiple different persons keep this one God/being/entity from praying to himself?! (The trinitarian “schizophrenic” “god-head”) The Trinitarians want to have their cake and eat it too as the saying goes. On the one hand they need to say they only worship one indivisible God being/ entity but on the other hand they feel the need for some reason to keep Jesus or God from praying and talking to himself by dividing him up into different persons!?! It never occurs to them that that since there is only one indivisible God to pray too and Jesus is that indivisible God come in the flesh that he would need to talk to himself as to show us how to live, suffer, pray and die for our/ flesh) benefit not his!?!….. So while Trinitarians are quick to complain that God was not talking to himself at Christ baptism or in Gen “let us” they ignore the logical demands of their own theology! If Jesus is the ONE GOD in flesh and the Father is the SAME ONE GOD in heaven then Trinitarianism demands THE ONE GOD is talking to HIMSELF the same “being”! Claiming that God is multiple different persons as the reason for why God is not talking to himself (because God is three different “selfs”) only demonstrates that what they really worship is in fact not a ONE GOD who talks to himself but three different god “selfs”/ and they all talk to each other! When they speak about who God was talking and praying to, they are quick to say “the other person, NOT HIMSELF!” But if you ask them how many gods do they pray to then they will say “ONLY ONE”!?! They expect you to believe that those three different persons are THE ONE GOD-BEING” which is like calling three different cars “THE ONE VEHICLE” (they are text book examples of prov 26:12)
      Mark 12:28…Which is the first commandment of all? 29. …Hear, O Israel; THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD: 30. And ………..this is the first commandment….. 31. And the second is….. IF YOU CAN’T GET THIS “FIRST OF ALL COMMANDMENTS” RIGHT, ALL THE REST OF YOUR “FAITH” AND PREACHING ON LOVE & SIN IS MOOT

      PART 6: THE ANTI CHRIST….WHERE? WHERE?….EVERYWHERE!!! …..IT”S YOU O TRINITARIAN!
      “WHO” it was (what person) that came “IN THE FLESH”, IS THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE “ANT-CHRIST”! Even Islam claims Jesus was the Jewish messiah/Christ who was to come in the flesh) they all deny “WHO” it was (what person) that came (to be the Christ) in the flesh!?!…….To deny the father is to deny the son because they are one and the same person that came in the flesh!
      JOHN 14: 8-20 ….Note Isaiah 9:6. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: …: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, … the everlasting Father ….The son, father/Holy Spirit are all the same person, NOT like two different persons working together even as “one flesh” ….The “oneness” between Christ and the father is not comparable to a man & his wife, for only a fool would say “When you have seen me you have seen my wife, how sayest thou then, Shew us your wife?” Notice they asked to see THE FATHER and the response was Jn 14:9 ..“HAVE I BEEN SO LONG time with you, and yet hast THOU NOT KNOW ME, Philip…..Now image some fool trying to claim that statement if you asked to see his wife!?!!? You want to see the FATHER but have I been with you but you don’t know me!?!?!
      Jn 14 continued….…………..17. Even THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH; (Jn 14:6 I AM the way, THE TRUTH,) whom the world cannot receive, .. for HE DEWLLETH WITH YOU, (present tense/standing next to them in the flesh) and SHALL BE IN YOU… (future tense “In them”) 18. I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU (future tense “In them”) Note: The spirit of Christ is the sprit of God and the holy spirit that is why Christ said “I will come to you” (to comfort them, because Christ is the comforter). The spirit was standing next to them in flesh… ….latter it would come to them to be inside of them (inside of their flesh as the spirit we are given)…..that is why. he would send the spirit…… However, Jesus himself here makes the point that the same person who was the HOLY SPIRIT that would come was standing next to them but lets them know “I will come to you again to be Inside of you”
      The whole point to Gal 3:20.a mediator is NOT A MEDIATOR OF ONE, (HEIS) but GOD IS ONE. (HEIS) again, point blank, identifies the number of persons of God! The “but” points out the contrast between multiple persons in a mediation party v the “one” of God. God is not like a mediation party with multiple different persons. …..”the express image of his person” ( the person of God; singular not plural).Any attempt to lay claim otherwise is willful ignorance and delusional nonsense
      TRINITARIANS CONFESS JESUS /THEY ARE NOT POLYTHEIST BUT ARE MONOTHEIST LIKE A LIAR & THIEF WHO “CONFESS” THEY DO NOT LIE OR STEAL The simple fact is that just because you confess or deny that you are in an adulterous relationship and denounce all forms of adultery has nothing to do with whether or not it is in fact adulterous! .. …A rose by any other name is still just a rose AND calling it a water lily does not change the definition of what a water Lilly or a rose is either!…No, Trinitarians confess & preach literally …”ANOTHER JESUS” 2 Cor 11:4
      - Like a thief in your house caught stealing your things insisting he was not there stealing “I CONFESS I am NOT stealing”. You just do not “properly understand” what he is doing/saying. Further, since you never had a “proper understanding” of what he is doing/saying you have no business accusing him since you do not even know what you are talking about in the first place. It is with and in your own ignorance that you base your “false accusations” & “ad homonym attacks” against him…… Ridiculous of course it is ……2Thess 2:11; Titus 1:16; 2Tim 3:5;
      …… should have given you a hint, harking back to Satan in The garden…God said you will die…Satan comes along and states no you will be more WISE……today .God said He is one; but Satan’s children come along and say no three is more WISE and humble in the face of God’s grandeur only “a mystery” that can be understood “in faith”. God uses head and right arm to explain the distinctions between father and son.. However, the Trinitarian heretics say to the effect: “NO, that is just a figure of speech, or that is not what God really means. What God is really saying is that God is three different persons”. Fools, hypocrites and blind guides, God said he was One and by your traditions and vain imaginations have taken the words of God and made them of no effect, refashioning God into your image!

      #2 SECOND COMING Thou Fool! “I come quickly” so “Hold fast
      till i come”… NOT …“in another 2000 yrs I might be coming soon any time now, so hold fast”!?! …those that deny the second coming of Christ in the war of AD70 are practicing a damnable heresy in denying the lord that bought them ( 2Peter 2:1-2 ;2Tim 4:8/ you cant love an appearing you deny& the context is the 2nd coming not the first)… Mat 7:23..”I NEVER KNEW YOU” …..Mat 10:33. But whosoever shall deny me before men……..sound familiar?…. If I said I am coming to your house in this generation when these things happen but no one knows the day or hour what fool would think I might be coming in 2000 years latter!?!? ..2 Tim 4: 4. And
      they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be TURNED UNTO FABLES.
      2Thess 2: 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

      #3 There is a sharp contrast between THREE groups :
      (1) “PREDESTINED DAMNED” who were NEVER written in the book of life ………..Rev 17: 8 WHOSE NAMES WERE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, …as contrasted …EPH 1: 4. According as he hath CHOSEN US in him BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD
      (2) “MANY CALLED”= ONLY and ALL SAINTS (those who come to Christ) are written in the book of life … Philippians 4:3… ……Rev 21:27; (Only saints are Called and elect; Rom 1:6-7 et al) This is THE CHRUCH and ONLY these can have their names blotted out of the book of life ….….Heb 12:23 to the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn … WHICH ………are WRITTEN in heaven,
      (3) THE FEW CHOSEN: Those saints who were alive in group #2 who are now physically dead. They died “faithful” these are the FEW that were chosen faithful…….Rev 3:5. ……; and I
      will not BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE, (Ps 69:28) …. These are the FEW that are CHOSEN and now that they have died and are saved then “once saved THEY CAN NEVER BE LOST”

      Hurricane Harvey, has nothing to do with a Prophetic Sign of Things to Come. This event has everything to do with Yahweh’s natural scientific design, and the elements of nature only He has created and knows. It is a sample of how little man can really do to change nature, and the plans of the Creator.

      Modern man has not recognized that only the Creator is in charge of His Creation.

      Isa 45:5 I am Yahweh, and there is no one else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me;

      Isa 45:6 that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no one besides me. I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.

      Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.

      Isa 45:8 Rain, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may produce salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, Yahweh, have created it.

      Isa 45:9 Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands?’

      Isa 45:10 Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ or to a mother, ‘To what have you given birth?’”

      Isa 45:11 Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker says: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands!

      Isa 45:12 I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens; and I have commanded all their army.

      Isa 45:13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward,” says Yahweh of Armies.
      The Lord, the Only Savior

      Isa 45:14 Yahweh says: “The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you, and they shall be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains; and they will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else. There is no other god.

      Isa 45:15 Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’”

      Isa 45:16 They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.

      Isa 45:17 Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.

      Isa 45:18 For Yahweh who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited says: “I am Yahweh; and there is no other.

      Isa 45:19 I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.

      Isa 45:20 “Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that can’t save.

      Isa 45:21 Declare and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Haven’t I, Yahweh? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior; There is no one besides me.

      Isa 45:22 “Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

      Isa 45:23 I have sworn by myself. The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.

      Isa 45:24 They will say of me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in Yahweh.’” Even to him shall men come; and all those who raged against him shall be disappointed.

      Isa 45:25 All the offspring of Israel will be justified in Yahweh, and will rejoice!

      Modern man has invented all sorts of “replacement Gods,” including Christianity with its trinity three in one god, all are violations of the Creator’s Commandments. Why is there and are their calamities? We simply have to look “within us” for the answers. America has become a wicked Country, no longer a Nation “under God” but a Country that wants to be God. Trump wants to change all that, but the evil around him is strong. Pray for the president, to prevail against the evil that is attacking him, and that America will be healed from it.
