ROADMAP TO APPROACHING 9.0+ QUAKE

NOVEMBER 4, 2002 REPORT - ROADMAP TO APPROACHING 9.0+ QUAKE
NOVEMBER STARTS WITH A BANG
On November 2, 2002, a 7. 5 earthquake shook Sumatra, Indonesia, followed within 24-hours by a 7.9 quake in the Alaskan interior. This earthquake was powerful enough to be felt as far as Seattle to New Orleans, and triggered volcanic activity as far away as South America. Within less than 24-hours of the Alaskan quake, the President of Equador declared a State of emergency in the nation's capital from a volcanic eruption at 7:30am, November 4, 2002. What do all of these events have in common? There were immediately followed a vision received in the Philippine Islands on October 31, 2002, which detailed a 'roadmap to the approaching 9.0+ quake'; a quake which we believe will take place prior to the end of 2002.
9.0 QUAKE AHEAD
At the beginning of 2002, many of our prophetic reports began to deal with the topic of approaching earth changes, which would be begin with a great earthquake during the latter half of 2002 (9.0 or greater), and increase with a series of other large quakes and volcanic eruptions throughout the year 2003. The 9.0+ quake which we referred to - which has been delayed several times since the Twin Polynesian Quakes on August 19, 2002 - is now drawing nearer than most realize. During September, 2002, the quake was delayed after 2 large earthquakes in China and India effectively offset the event by releasing tectonic pressure under the earth (we refer to these 2 quakes - both measuring 6.5 on the Richter Scale, and occurring within 24-hours of each other - as the 'Twin India- China Quakes', which we had prophesied about in April, 2002 [web site]). During the first week of October, this 9.0+ quake was once again delayed, after the U.S. Congress passed a bill recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Immediately after the bill was passed, flaming lights were witnessed over the West Coast of America, seen on several occasions during the first week of October (reported by CNN and various other news media). We had prophesied about these angelic lights in previous reports as being directly related to the 9.0+ quake.
THE BIG QUESTION: WHEN?
Now the big question many are asking is: Since the big quake was delayed during September and October, can it also be delayed beyond November and December, into the year 2003? The answer to this question was released through a vision on October 31, 2002: No. The quake cannot be delayed beyond the end of 2002. On October 31, 2002, I was taken in the Spirit into the future, and witnessed the Hand of the Lord move across a report issued by the USGS. On the report, I saw a 10.0+ quake listed. As the Hand of the Lord moved across the report, the 10.0+ figure vanished, and was replaced by a large 7.0+ quake, which was quickly followed by a 9.0+ quake on the same page of the USGS report. Interpretation: Sometime this year, a large 7.0+ quake will occur, which will be quickly followed by a 9.0+ quake (within days or weeks, clearly less than a month). The Lord is moving in his mercy to lessen the magnitude of a potential 10.0+ quake, but the magnitude cannot be brought under 9.0. Within two days of this vision, a 7.5 earthquake occurred in Indonesia on November 2, followed within 24-hours by a 7.9 quake in Alaska on November 3. Was the Alaska quake the 7.0+ quake which we were warned would precede the 9.0+ quake? Although this is highly probable, it is not necessarily the case. The Holy Spirit may have been referring to another 7.0+ quake. However, because of the timing of this quake in relation to the vision, I would highly recommend that Alaska and the U.S. West Coast go on high alert status. Also, considering the 7.5 in Indonesia which occurred on November 2, I would recommend that the entire Pacific region go on high tsunami-alert (just in case this 9.0 quake occurs somewhere else along the Pacific Rim).
WHERE WILL THE EPICENTER BE?
The fact of the matter is, we still do not know exactly where this 9.0+ quake is going to occur. Although the most likely epicenter is somewhere along the U.S. West Coast, I believe that angelic authorities were given the "legal right" to intervene and deflect this quake from America when the U.S. Congress voted in October to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. However, on October 16, 2002, the balance may have once again shifted when Sharon was presented with the "Roadmap for Peace" in Washington (which called for Israel to give up covenant land which was promised to her by God, and restored to her as a fulfillment of prophecy during the 1967 war). The date which this meeting took place in Washington between President Bush and Prime Minister Sharon is extremely important: October 16, 2002. On this date three years ago, a 7.4 earthquake took place in Southern California (an earthquake which our ministry had forewarned California about). As a matter of fact, I arrived at the Los Angeles International Airport from the Philippines only seven hours before the quake took place in Joshua Tree, California. Our ministry had announced 2-months prior that I would be arriving on that date to intercede with other pastors and leaders, specifically, that the magnitude of the quake would be lessened. Looking back at this powerful earthquake (which jolted me out of bed at 3:00am), the particular date of this quake and the date of the meeting between Bush and Sharon cannot be an accident. On October 16, 2002, finality was reached in this matter.
The big question now is, "Did October's Congressional bill on Jerusalem have enough weight to tip the balance towards grace"? We cannot judge what went on behind the scenes in the White House on October 16, 2002, and to date no final peace accord has been signed by Israel. The good news is, God is intervening, and the quake should not exceed the 9-point realm (9.9 at the highest). Although this might not sound like grace, believe me, a 10.0+ quake could be globally devastating. Although we will probably see some tsunami with this coming 9.0+ quake, the size will be limited. Many have me asked if I think this 9.0 quake will occur in Alaska. My answer to that question is: Even if the large 7.0+ quake which precedes the 9.0+ quake is in Alaska, the big quake could follow literally any where in the world, from Britain to Australia. We are of course praying that the epicenter will be located in a sparcely populated or uninhabited area.
SIGNS OF MATTHEW 24
The bottom line is, we are living in the last days described by Jesus in Matthew chapter 24, and some things cannot be avoided; wars and rumors of wars, quakes and the "roaring of the sea" which will make "men's hearts fail", signs in the heavens and the earth; all of these things must come to pass, for we are now living in the twilight hours of history, as we draw nearer to the coming of the Son of Man.
