COMMENTARY & OPINION

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY DISCUSSING POLITICS AND RELIGION IN POLITE COMPANY IS TABOO IN AMERICA?  COULD IT BE BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL A FEW PEOPLE --- EVEN IN AMERICA --- THAT CAN STILL THINK?  WHAT IF THESE PEOPLE STARTED GETTING TOGETHER AND CAME UP WITH THE CONCLUSION THAT POLITICS IS RELIGION?

And since religion is Satan's means of herding the masses, this could quickly turn into a tidal wave of truth that could jeopardize the entire system we call civilization. 

If you are a regular reader of these Commentaries, then you have already been notified that this system is on the verge of being scrapped.  Under the jurisdiction of Satan, (who owns all the kingdoms of this world --- Luke 4), we have tried every form of government men can conceive of and all have failed. 

Now the Creator is ringing down the curtain on this age with all it's failed governments and preparing to set up the prototype of His government in Jerusalem which will grow and absorb all the gov'ts of this world.  It will not be with a wand wave as religion presumes and will not be without growing pains.  (See Zecjaroaj 14).  But the stage is being set right now and if we have "...eyes to see and ears to hear", we should see this by the erupting volcanoes and shattering earthquakes around the ring of fire.  According to Matthew 24, these are but the beginning of sorrows.  Next comes serious depopulation of planet earth by WW III.  This first takes out mother earth's terminal cancer called Babylon and also clears much of the middle east for the reassignment of that land to the descendants of Jacob (Israel) when they emerge from three and one half years of captivity.  These will be Israelites (not Jews) from America, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium, Switzerlalnd, Netherland, etc. 

Israel will be cleared of those "...who say they are Jews but are not and do lie...." (Rev 2:9 & 3:9), as a part of the Babylon that is destroyed as we see in Isaiah 13 and Jeremiah 50-51.  This will clear the way for the rebuild of Jerusalem (which will be destroyed --- see Isaiah 29), by a group whom the world's religions will view .as the antichrist. 

The transition into this chaos will happen suddenly and I believe it will be with the trigger being the earthquake of Revelation 6:12.  America will go black and 100+ Fukushimas will quickly follow.  The deaths of 100 million Americans are already being sown through the chem trails in our skies, pharmaceuticals and the medical profession.  Another 100 million will die when the "...assembly of great nations" move in to loot our nation and round up survivors to sell to the world as slaves. 

Hosea 5 appears to say this operation will take no longer than a month.  This begins the time of "Jacob's Trouble" or what most of the protestant religions call the tribulation.  It lasts three and one half years

Then the captives will be released to make their way to the new Israel to inherit a parcel of the land promised Abraham (Isaiah 14 & 35).  The nations will send ambassadors to attend the fall festivals in Jerusalem (Zechariah 14) and they will be able to observe first hand the prosperity of a new government that exists without taxes, military, domed capitol buildings, IRS, CIA, FBI, lawyers, preachers, etc and all the attendant services required by those listed. 

Wars will end and so will those who get rich from war.  The healing of our planet will begin.  Monsanto will be no more and agriculture and animal husbandry will be reinvented.  There will be huge springs of fresh water break out in the new Israel (Isaiah 35) for irrigation of the non GMO crops that will flourish there.  Those who have worked to destroy the earth will themselves be destroyed (Rev 11:19) and then the earth will know peace for the first time.  Satan is imprisoned for a thousand years.  Then he will be released and, incredibly, will again gain a following.  And again there will be war, but it will be short lived --- see Rev 20. 

Hybrid war continues with Japanese underground military bases hit as Khazarian mafia under attack around the planet

The battle for the planet earth has taken a dramatic turn with the destruction of three major Japanese underground bases, an accelerating hunt for Khazarian mafia oligarchs, high stakes financial negotiations between the military industrial complex and Asian secret societies and more.

First about the earthquakes: it is a given on Japanese internet chat boards that the recent spate of earthquakes in Southern Japan were all artificial earthquakes. The evidence presented is that the seismographs all resemble earthquakes caused by explosions with a sudden huge shock followed by steadily decreasing aftershocks. See the links below for evidence of this:

http://pesn.com/2011/09/18/9501916_Evidence_Denver_and_DC_Quakes_Caused_by_Nukes/

http://www.kyoshin.bosai.go.jp/kyoshin/share/index_multi.html

http://www.kyoshin.bosai.go.jp/kyoshin/search/

There were also reports of loud explosion like sounds when the earthquakes hit. Furthermore, all the earthquakes had extremely shallow epicenters going no deeper than 10 kilometers, which is very rare in natural earthquakes. In addition to this, the Japanese government earthquake prediction center said they had given up on predicting the earthquakes because they did not fit any known natural earthquake pattern. The clincher however, is that the epicenters of the three big quakes were all the locations of Japanese military bases.

If you put 1812 Oyatsu, Mashiki, Kumamoto Prefecture in on Google earth you can see the military base at the epicenter of the first earthquake. There are several unusual structures to be seen there that appear to be the entrances to underground bases.

It is also worth recalling that Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso recently told American economist Paul Krugman something to the effect that the Japanese government was looking for a trigger to start World War 3 in order to save the economy.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-03-26/japans-finance-minister-accidentally-reveals-how-it-all-ends-war

Chinese government sources in Beijing recently told this writer they had identified an unusually intense build-up of military material by the Japanese government in recent months.

The bases hit are all located close to the Korean Peninsula where it would be easy to move large numbers of troops to the Asian mainland for a war with China. It thus appears there was a pre-emptive strike, by forces unknown, to prevent any Japanese attempt to start World War 3.

The announcement by North Korea that they had submarine based ballistic missiles was in reality a Japanese reaction to the attack on their underground bases. The message was Japan still has an intact retaliatory nuclear strike capability via their North Korean proxy. They need not worry though because nobody is planning to invade Japan.

There was also some belligerence going on last week concerning the Asian gold stashes in Indonesia. Officials at CIA Asian headquarters in Singapore last week warned the Chinese that

Ramey comments:

The battle for planet earth has indeed taken a drastic turn and it would seem this will accelerate matters even more that what we have been seeing for the past few weeks.  Two N Korean satellites now cruising over our heads daily, each capable of carrying a nuke that could put out lights in America. 

And we see more troops being sent to Syria to "fight ISIS".  The kingmakers are getting desperate and desperate people do strange things. 

It still appears to me that the destruction of Babylon will be triggered by the earthquake of Rev 6:12 --- however, whether that quake is triggered by the Eternal or by desperate men is a question in my mind.

X Marks The Spot - Danger In The Skies - Satanic X's Show Up All Across Country As More Celebrities Join Prince's War Against Chemtrails Poisoning America

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

The photo posted to the Facebook page of actor Van Diesel seen below as well as in the 2nd video shows what has been a common site in the skies for many people recently and brings up a very good question: why are chemtrail pilots flying 'X' patterns in the sky? With the actor making the 'X' sign with his fingers, it's quite obvious that he sees the massive 'X' behind him in the skies which brings up another question; is Van Diesel 'awake' to the dangers of chemtrails, as recently deceased singer Prince was also aware of the dangers of chemtrails? Just today we learned that actor Chuck Norris has called out the 'sky criminals' in his latest Oped on World Net Daily. Is there a mass-awakening taking place? Will it be too late? 

As ANP reported several days ago, 'chemtrail flu' is huge now in Florida and 'the ultimate weapons of the fallen ones' are being used against the unsuspecting masses all across the country, sickening countless Americans with illnesses such as "respiratory, throat, sinus and skin rashes, which skyrocketed within 3 days of heavy spraying" in Florida recently according to one Florida hospital worker. Much more below including several videos and more pictures and several theories of why we're seeing so many chemtrailed 'X's in the skies of America and the world including a theory that chemtrails are also being used to block out the mysterious 'Planet X' .

One of the best websites that we have found for solid geoengineering and chemtrail information is Dane Wigington's Geoengineering Watch blog. For those who are interested in learning more about chemtrails and the series of patents that have been taken out that prove we are watching geoengineering at work, Dane's website is clearly one of the go-to websites on the internet.

As we have reported previously, Steve Quayle has a 20-year track record reporting upon this 'attack upon the American people' and his book "Weather Wars And Un-Natural Disasters" is a must-read for those who want to know more about the history of weather warfare, the ongoing cover-up, mankind changing the atmosphere, playing the devil's HAARP and the men who think they can be God.

In the first video below, we get more proof that chemtrails are being used for geoengineering as this Activist Post story tells us, the Department of Energy may soon studying geoengineering and its effects if a proposed budget bill becomes law.

Why have so many Americans recently seen 'X-marks-the-spot' chemtrails in the skies? Susan Duclos and I have seen them many times and on one recent trip to visit relatives, noticed they were appearing ahead of us at many different locations along the nearly 4-hour drive.

Many of us are well aware that under the current administration, as Christians, Patriots and supporters of the US Constitution, we are constantly being tracked by those who think they have nothing better to do and need to justify their salaries and their existence (HINT: CATCH THE ISIS TERRORISTS WHO OBAMA'S ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTRY!!!). Are chemtrailed 'X's another tracking device, a mechanism used to help focus 'big brothers ever-present eyes in the skies' on whatever may be below them?

The illnesses that Americans are suffering due to our poisoned skies are very real and have been documented in many different places including this story from Global Research which looks at the consequences of toxic metals and chemical aerosols on human health. Global Skywatch also has an extensive list documenting chemtrail related illnesses.

Are chemtrails being used to block out 'Planet X' or our '2nd sun' as some have suggested? The 4th video below looks at that theory from several different angles. Do you think chemtrails are being used to block out 'Planet X' and prevent a mass-panic that might take place if the masses knew there was danger in the skies? Clearly there is danger in the skies though at the immediate time, the danger posed to most is via chemtrail poisoning.

According to this story from David Brandt at Educate Yourself, what we're now witnessing is a 'satanic X' chemtrailed into our blue skies. We're also given one theory of the meaning of all of this:

I thought I would respond to this article (Increased Chemtrail Spraying & the Satanic "X") because this is exactly what happened here in Arkansas. Last week, it was in the low 80's/high 70's (and we have had a steady warm up prior to this) I was off of work and I was out enjoying the sun, and then the chemtrails started up for two days worth of spraying. This is the most I have seen at one time, and there hasn't been much of it since the last time I reported it to you.

Now, today, the weather is in the 30's and there it is sleeting and freezing rain; just in time to spoil all the new growth of the fruit trees and such that has been blooming this last week. I wondered to myself what the results of the spraying would be last week when I observed it. The spraying seemed to be at a much higher altitude than before. I asked for assistance in dispersing these poisons, but there was just so much of it, and as I stated it was very high up in the atmosphere. Lot's of X's were going on, and lots of the milky-wispy cloud cover afterwards. Now we are suffering yet another extreme weather pattern that will have a negative effect on the ecosystem of this area.

Do you think the X's mark the area for some sort of testing of a weather control system?  

There must be some boundary marking connected with the "X" as it can clearly be seen on satellite photos. Besides the poisoning aspect, chemtrails also work in tandem with HAARP to influence the weather. Since contrived food and water shortages are part of their takeover strategy, it's perhaps possible that the cold weather was introduced in your area to ruin the crop. We can see how the Illuminated swine even are trying to effectively ban organic farming for NOT using pesticides and Monsanto's Satan Seeds.

Is there something more about these satanic chemtrailed X's that are poisoning our skies? We'll close with a look at the unthinkable via these facts and this wisdom recently shared by Chuck Norris at WND. Are chemtrails being used as way of giving the masses vaccinations/immunizations via the air and is something very 'dark' now at play? Norris quotes a 2003 abstract from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a part of the U.S. federal government’s National Library of Medicine – a branch of the National Institutes of Health, which stated.:

We conclude that aerosol immunization seems a promising method of vaccination. Although some basic information is still lacking, this method has already been used successfully in large populations and has therefore passed the phase of initial feasibility evaluation.

From Norris.:

Over the past 13 years since the study, does anyone think it’s possible that such mass vaccinations or immunizations have occurred by air in trial locations in the U.S.?

How many plane-dropping chemical cocktails have already been sprayed around the world in the name of securing public health?

When the heads of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention publicly sound the alarm that the Zika virus is “scarier than we initially thought” and the mosquito transmission ranges have increased from 12 states to 30 in just weeks, does anyone think there’s discussion of the NCBI 2003 study?

Whatever the intent or justification, and whether or not the purpose is for mass vaccinations or some other devious plot, if you don’t believe there’s some smoke-screening in the sky trails above you, I have a London Bridge to sell you in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

It’s time again to wake up, America. I’m not Shakespeare, but something is definitely rotten in the state of Denmark.

Or as another music legend, Prince, who just passed away this past week, sang in his song, “Dreamer”: “While the helicopter circles us, this theory’s getting’ deep, Think they’re spraying chemicals over the city while we sleep? From now on I’m staying’ awake, you can call me a dreamer too, wake up, wake up.”

Ramey comments:

This is not a call to write your congressman because it is obvious they are in bed with those perpetrating this crime against humanity.  This is merely another "heads up" to show you where we are in the stream of time and that the U.S. is soon to join the list of nations that once were. 

And it isn't like these people are going to be granted executive immunity for depopulating the world.  Rev 17:6 gives us a clue as to the justice that will be meted out to them but it won't be by any of this world's "justice systems". 

You can begin to see that the incoming Liberators believe in an eye for an eye but also that those with absolutely no regard for human life will be repaid in their own coin --- only double.

Another outrageous move by an incompetent president!!!

Subject: New Navy Vice Chief of Naval Operations

Please let people know of this undermining of our security.

 THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE. WHAT HAVE YOU USNA GRADS HEARD?

Admiral Michelle Howard, USN is not in command of the US Navy, and is probably not of the Muslim faith. However, she was recently promoted to Vice Chief of Naval Operations, second in command to the Chief of Naval Operations.  The selection process leading to her promotion to 4 star rank and her current position, is rather unique in a peace time US Navy.    Obama may be planning to eventually promote her to Chief of Naval Operations. 

Admiral Howard had command of only one non-capital ship, the USS Rushmore (LSD-47), when she was promoted to Flag rank, which was unique. She eventually received orders as the Senior Military Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy, thru January 2009.  It then appears that Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus may have mentored her thru one senior billet after another, by-passing other highly qualified combat trained more senior Flag Officers.  During the process, she received orders to the proper Command and Staff Colleges, in order to prepare her for each new command assignment, Mabus' careful guidance led her to her current billet. 

 

In the last 7 years, Obama has modified the selection process for Flag and General Officer, by ensuring the potential selectees compliance with his very destructive and destabilizing 'Social Experiment On Diversity', as a condition for whether an officer will be considered for promotion to Admiral or General.

Over the last 7 years, Obama has relieved over 250 highly qualified and combat trained Flag, General, and Senior Officers; some should have been relieved for cause, but many were doing a superb job when they were summarily relieved.

Respectfully,

The “Gate of God” Erected in Trafalgar Square London

(Before It's News)

A 5.5-meter (20ft) recreation of the 1,800-year-old Arch of Triumph in Palmyra, Syria, is seen at Trafalgar Square in London, Britain April 19, 2016. © Stefan Wermuth / Reuters

TAP – The 1800 year old description is a deception, a deception made necessary by the falsification of history made by the New Testament.

Palmyra’s golden age was at least two hundred years earlier, one of the principal cities oF Osrhoene, the small country or buffer state that sat between the Roman and Persian empires.  The King of Osrhoene was Izas, who led the Nazarene revolt against Rome in Judaea from AD67-70 After his defeat at Jerusalem, Josephus Flavius ( who was Saul and St Paul in the NT), employed by the new Emperor Vespasian, fabricated the Christian religion using the story of a Jesus, which was based on Izas, but transported forty years ahead in time.

If people realised what Palmyra signified in AD70, the Catholic Church would be in trouble.  The Knights Templar captured Palmyra in the 11th Century and discovered the true history of Izas and Palmyra.  This was one of the secrets they had to keep close, to avoid confrontation with the Catholic Church.  To do this, they fabricated the legend of King Arthur, who was transported from the 1st century AD into the 6th.  He was relocated to Britain and fought a war against Rome, which he lost.  Arthur was Jesus or Izas.

POST

The £100,000 recreation has been made using 3D photographs collected by the Institute of Digital Archaeology (IDA) to produce an accurate representation of the UNESCO World Heritage site. Its presence in London coincides with World Heritage week.

The Arch, made from Egyptian marble, will visit Times Square in New York, as well as Dubai and other cities before being sent to Syria next year, where it will be placed close to where the original stood.

Ramey comments:

I'm including this, not because I agree with everything the author says but to illustrate some of the shenanigans of the past in order to distort history and thus bring us to where we are today with the "...whole world" deceived as we see in Rev 12:9. 

I do happen to agree with the author that the New Testament has been grossly edited and falsified.  This becomes plain if you study the account in the gospels of the "Passover".  It appears that the Jews and Catholics have conspired to create the illusion that the last supper Christ had with His disciples was the Passover.

IF YOU ARE READING THESE COMMENTARIES, THEN YOU ARE AMONG A VERY SMALL MINORITY --- AND THAT'S ALL RIGHT --- NOAH AND HIS FAMILY WERE AMONG A VERY SMALL MINORITY

This world is on a collision course with a disaster of unprecedented proportions and if you need documentation on this, then look at the ramping up of major earthquakes in just the past weeks.  We are not living in "normal times". 

I realize that it isn't chic to believe the utterances of the prophets --- but is it just possible that the masses have overlooked something important?  We can see in the book of Genesis that they did in the days of Noah.  In the 24th chapter of the book of Matthew, we can see that there is a comparable crisis coming at the close of the age we are living in and it is alluded to in this way --- "... as it was in the days of Noah..."  Could it be that we are living in those days?

In the book of Revelation, chapter 12, verse 9, it says the whole world is deceived.  How is it the whole world can be deceived?  What forum is common to all the cultures of this world?  How about religion?  It can be Voodoo, Catholicism, Protestantism or Hindu but religion is the creation of Satan for the deception of the whole world.  We see that deception in the worldwide epidemic of idolatry and the whole-sale departure from the God of Israel.  Few seem to realize that this was foretold by the prophets millennia ago.  Conspiracy has so many layers now that it has become invisible to those who love lies.  So what is to become of us?  That, also, has been foretold by the prophets of old.  For the past 7-8 years, the pages of these Commentaries have been dedicated to showing those with eyes to see and ears to hear the answer to that question. 

At first, I was a lone voice in the wilderness saying that America is to be destroyed totally and left an uninhabitable nuclear wilderness.  Now, it would seem that more are beginning to see that as the only solution to the problems confronting America and the world.  Now we are witnessing the events prophesied in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.  And we are well into those prophecies.  We are now to the time when there are "...earthquakes in diverse places", and they are ramping up at an alarming rate.  Matthew 24:7 says, "There shall be earthquakes in diverse places..." and verse 8 says, "...these are the beginnings of sorrows."  This is before the "...abomination of desolation..." which is the trigger for the destruction of America and Israel. 

What the world doesn't understand is that the "Lord's Day" is the day of His wrath when He comes to vent that wrath on America and Israel first.  This begins the time of "Jacob's Trouble" which some describe as the tribulation.  Survivors of America will be sold as slaves into the whole world at that time and that slavery will last three and one half years.  Then those of Israelite heritage will be released to make their way to the new Israel to claim a parcel of the land promised Abraham.  At that time it will have been cleared of the Khazarian pirates.  It will also be greatly expanded beyond the borders of the little nation of Israel today and this will involve the elimination of some of the nations in that part of the world and it would appear that this action has already begun.  The book of Obadiah tells us the house of Esau has a very dim future. 

As noted above, the Khazarian pirates in Israel will be destroyed but a few in the Jerusalem are will escape to the hills when they see the abomination of desolation which announces the incoming missile barrage launched by Iran and the Arab countries roundabout.  We can find the story in Isaiah 29 and the chapters that follow show the rebuild of Jerusalem as the headquarters of the incoming Liberators. 

This will be viewed by the world's religions and rulers as the work of the antichrist. 

Much of the world's war making machinery will be destroyed in the coming catastrophes but those nations that survive the massive quakes and tsunamis of Revelation 6:12 and Jeremiah 51:42 will put together an army of some 200 million to send against this new gov't that dares prosper and live in peace in a world where that is viewed with suspicion.  You can see the fate of those armies in Zechariah 14 and Revelation 19. 

We can see by the ramping up of major earthquakes and volcanoes that the status quo of planet earth is about to change dramatically.  We are about to see the biggest military reversal in all of recorded history and it will be so sudden, most Americans will not know we are at war until it is over.  The nation the Creator calls Babylon will be destroyed "..in one hour", according to Revelation 18.   This nation is America and we can see it positively identified in the little book of Habakkuk. 

I know many Christians that say, "God will not allow America to be destroyed because we are a Christian nation".  If we study the book of Jeremiah, we can see that the Jews in the nation of ancient Judah said the same about that nation.  "We have the Ark and the Temple built by Solomon --- G_d will not allow us to be conquered".   The rest is history.  They were conquered and enslaved by the ancient nation of Babylon and the Temple was destroyed.  The Ark was not found --- but that is another story --- and perhaps the greatest archeological mystery of all time.  I stood within sixteen feet of that coveted artifact on Shemeni Atzeret of 1996 and again on my birthday in 1998,

We find ourselves today at the end of an age and the beginning of the next --- somewhat as Noah did.  And the only reference points we have to go by are the writings of the prophets.  It is these writings that show us civilization is going to be rebuilt from the ground up starting at Jerusalem.  Today's "laws", (which are not laws at all but merely the figments of mens' imaginations), will be scrapped entirely and the laws, statutes, precepts and judgments of the Supreme Sovereign of the universe will be administered by a new world ruler at Jerusalem and you can see the coronation ceremony in Daniel 7:13-14.  .

This world is a mess and there are no political solutions to the problems we are faced with.  Political solutions, because of idolatry, are limited to pouring money on the problems and inventing more devastating weaponry.  These have progressed to the point that where we stand today was foretold by Douglas Mac Arthur in his final address to the assembled congress.  What he said, as I recall, was, "Unless we can find a more equitable solution to the differences between nations, our Armageddon will be at our door."  What I am telling you is that "Our Armageddon is at our door".

Americans are not capable of self rule and that has been amply demonstrated in our choices of presidents.  Now we have the one presiding who is described in Daniel 11:36-45.  And it appears he is to be the last.

Are we prepared mentally for what is coming down the pike?  If you have been watching, you know we have and incoming celestial visitor the ancients called Nibiru.  Our gov't pooh-poohs this while they build for themselves underground bunkers lavishly furnished at taxpayer expense.  We are already seeing the results of the magnetic disturbance caused by this visitor in the lighting up of the ring of fire around the Pacific.  That disturbance is about to intensify to unimaginable proportions. 

We are also approaching an economic meltdown caused by piracy on a grand scale by our gov't.  Therefore those who pull the strings of puppet rulers are trying desperately to get a major war up and going in order to cover their backsides because many are seeing through the smoke of 911 and the calls for justice are reaching a crescendo. 

Justice will be served but no credit to our "justice system".  We can see how it will play out in Isaiah 13.  Total destruction of our nation.

We can see in Ezekiel 5 that some 200 million are going to die in America alone.  The push is now on to accelerate the deaths across our nation.  Florida is now being smothered in chem trails.  A note of interest is that the two celebrities that had enough backbone to speak out about chem trails both died within weeks of each other.  These were Merle and Prince. 

American survivors will be evacuated and America will be left a nuclear wilderness --- Fukushima times 100+.  Hosea 5 seems to say the evacuation will only take a month.  They will be scattered over the world as slaves and it will be a "...time of trouble such as has not been since there was a nation, no, nor ever shall be again." 

Isaiah 29 shows us Israel will also be cleared of population but it will apparently not be nuked because the chapters that follow show it is to be repopulated soon afterward. 

The status quo is about to be interrupted big time and it appears this interruption will be introduced with the earthquake of Revelation 6:12. If you read the verses that follow and compare that event to the one described in Isaiah 13, it becomes obvious they are describing the same event.  This is the destruction of the end time Babylon which is also shown in Revelation 18. 

If you are watching, then you know that major earthquakes are accelerating at an alarming rate.  Sidewalks are buckling in California and Yellowstone icaldera appears ready to blow.  The Pacific Ocean is a giant bowl of nuclear soup and the Atlantic has been cleared of shipping for fear of a giant tsunami.  Are we approaching the time mentioned in Daniel 11:35 as "...the appointed time"?

When Sodom was destroyed, there was one family evacuated before the destruction.  (Genesis 18-19).  When Jericho was destroyed, there was one family spared amidst the destruction.  When Jerusalem was destroyed by Titus' armies in 70 AD, the siege was pulled back long enough for 70 people to escape the city   When Jerusalem was destroyed the first time in 587-586 BC, there were a number of people spared.  Among these were Jeremiah, Baruch, Ebed Melek and also King Zedekiah's two daughters.  You can find the story in the book of Jeremiah. 

This is also a stage setting for the event that is to precede the destruction of America (Babylon).  There will be an exodus of a few people before this happens and it will be an event witnessed by the nations.  You can get the story in Isaiah 52:10-12.  I recommend you read it and ask yourself if something like this has ever happened before --- with both members of the Godhead escorting front and rear.  I do believe we are very near that event.
