Jesus, the Redeemer of the world, began His last week on earth by riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. As the slow moving donkey approached the city many excited people spread their clothes for it to walk on. They waved palm branches.

They rejoiced and loudly praised God for the mighty miracles they had seen Jesus perform. A great multitude began to shout, “Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest” (Luke 19:35-38).

There were enemies of Jesus in the crowd and they were in despair. They were concerned that the whole world was going to follow Him (Jn. 12:19). They said, “Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out” (Luke 19:39-40).

It wasn’t long until He was arrested, bound, beaten and escorted out to a place called Golgotha where He was crucified. And while He was hanging on the cross the earth began to quake (Matt. 27:51). It was no ordinary quake. It was a tremendous quake.

The rocks actually split. They were crying out as they cracked open. To this day there are cracks that look like streaks of lightning in the rocks where many think the cross stood.

Before any of this happened, Jesus was asked, “What shall be the sign of thy coming” (His Second Coming)? He listed five things and one of which was “earthquakes in divers places” (Matt. 24:3-7).

So there were earthquakes at the First Coming of Jesus (Matt. 27:51, 54; 28:2) and there will be earthquakes at the Second Coming of Jesus (more crying rocks).

Other Scriptures teach that there will also be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars (Joel 2:31, 3:15; Luke 21:25). The Bible doesn’t say what kind of signs in the sun, but it is clear that they will have something to do with the return of Jesus and the judgment of God.

For whatever it is worth, it has been reported that on June 5, 2015 Mr. John L. Casey (the Pres. of the Space and Science Research Corp. and a former advisor to the White House on the U.S. Space Program) sent a warning letter to Mr. Craig Fulgate (the Administrator of FEMA) about the sun and an event called Solar Hibernation.

Solar Hibernation means the sun is entering a cooling off period and giving off less energy. This is not new, but history and research now show that Solar Hibernation causes an increase in volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

They also show that some of America’s strongest volcanic eruptions and earthquakes have occurred near the end of a Solar Hibernation period. So this sign in the sun has been linked to earthquakes. And signs in the sun and earthquakes are linked to the Second Coming.

Now I don’t know what to think about volcanic eruptions. I have read that more volcanoes (82) erupted in 2010 than in any previous year. Then I read that the 2010 record was broken with 83 in 2013.

Then I read that global weather patterns are shifting not because of global warming, but because so many volcanoes are erupting under the ocean they are causing the oceans to warm and the warmer water is causing the weather to change.

But some scientists say even though it is clear that there a lot of volcanoes erupting on earth it has always been that way. They say we just didn’t know how many volcanoes were erupting in the past because earth’s population was smaller, technology wasn’t as good as it is today, reporting wasn’t as good as it is today, etc.

I just know that there are a lot of volcanoes erupting. And an increase in volcanic activity usually signals an increase in earthquakes. I just know that I have a note in my computer that says the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reported that there were 13 earthquakes in April of last year that were 6.5 or more and that was easily a record for one month.

So based on history and research on Solar Hibernation and volcanic

activity the Pres. of the Space and Science Research Corp. sent a warning letter to the head of FEMA that said, “We are about to enter a potentially catastrophic period of record earthquakes and volcanic eruptions throughout the United States.”

And he said, “We believe the USA and the world, has now entered the most dangerous period for catastrophic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in over two hundred years….”

Does this sign in the sun and the large number of erupting volcanoes mean that the “big one” is approaching?

Is this another sign that the Second Coming is close and people are running out of time to accept Jesus as their Savior? I don’t know, but I find it interesting especially since so much else is going on.

Pres. Obama claims to be a Christian (his actions–lying, false accusations, pro-gay marriage, pro-abortion, etc. say otherwise), but many Christians believe he is a Muslim (he prays with them, praises them, defends them, won’t say “Muslim terrorist,” etc.).

I will admit that I think he is a Muslim, but, until I saw an article that said two different sources say he is a Shiite, it never occurred to me that Pres. Obama might prefer the Shiite religion. The article said Pres. Obama’s father, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., was a Shiite Muslim in a mostly Sunni country (Kenya).

If the statement is true, several things that I have found confusing are suddenly making sense. I Googled, “Was Pres. Obama’s father a Shiite?” to check it out and found several articles on the subject. Of course, there are people who call it a conspiracy theory, but it is important to look at some of the facts.

The two main sects of Muslims are Sunnis (roughly 85%) and Shiites (roughly 10%). Both sects think their brand of Islam is right and the other’s brand is wrong. Both have their share of religious extremists and all of them think their sect will prevail at the end of the age.

Since being elected, Pres. Obama has alienated many Sunnis (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya, etc.) and reached out to the Shiites in Iran. Why is he showing preference to the Shiites over the Sunnis?

A religious conflict has broken out in the Middle East between Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, etc., (Sunnis) and Iran (Shiites) in the Middle East that the Sunnis could probably win. Why does Pres. Obama want to let Iran have nuclear weapons? Is he trying to switch the balance of power to the Shiites?

Pres. Obama’s top adviser is a Shiite Muslim named Valerie Jarrett. If Pres. Obama wants to fundamentally transform America, why did he make a Shiite Muslim his top advisor?

Sec. of State John Kerry’s daughter Vanessa is married to an Iranian-American named Dr. Brian Vala Nahed. Could the fact that Pres. Obama chose the father-in-law of an Iranian-American to be America’s chief negotiator with Iran be of any significance?

As a U.S. Senator running for president, Mr. Obama pledged to pull all of America’s troops out of Iraq. As Commander-in-Chief, and against the advice of America’s top military leaders, he ordered America’s troops out of Iraq and let the Iranians take over.

After spending billions of dollars to change the government in Iraq, why did Pres. Obama abandon Iraq knowing the government would be taken over by the Shiites?

Pres. Obama has offered weapons, training and air support to the Iraqi government (mostly Shiite) to combat the Islamic State (Sunni). Instead of remaining neutral, why is Pres. Obama siding with the Shiites?

Iran is supporting several terrorist organizations (Hezbollah, Houthis, Hamas, etc.). Iranian leaders have said their agreement with Pres. Obama will never cause them to abandon their support for these terrorist groups.

Why does Pres. Obama want to let Iran (Shiites) have billions of dollars when some of it will be given to Shiites who are fighting Sunnis?

Even though the Iranians hate America and shout death to America, Pres. Obama has offered to let Iran (Shiites) get nuclear weapons, get billions of dollars, keep their intercontinental missiles, have warnings before the UN inspectors arrive, take their own soil samples, avoid snapback sanctions, have secret side deals, etc.

Is it possible that Pres. Obama hates America?

Why would Pres. Obama try to tie the hands of the next President so he can’t attack Iran? Is it possible that Pres. Obama is trying to protect the Shiite government of Iran against future Presidents?

Why is Pres. Obama threatening to issue Executive Orders to get around the House and Senate if they override his veto of the agreement with Iran? Does he believe his agreement with Iran (Shiites) is more important than the wishes of Congress and the American people?

At a time when Pres. Obama is opening the door for Iran to get nuclear weapons, reports say he will soon try to force Israel to give up her nuclear weapons and to accept the Two-State solution. Both actions will threaten the survival of Israel.

Why is Pres. Obama helping Shiites who hate Israel and shout death to Israel? Is it possible that Pres. Obama hates Israel? Is it possible that he is trying to bring about the destruction of Israel?

During Israel’s 50 day war with Iranian-supported Hamas in Gaza, why did Pres. Obama stop sending weapons to Israel in the middle of the war and call for a cease fire? Is it possible that he was protecting the Shiite-supported terrorists so they can launch more attacks on Israel in the future?

Pres. Obama’s supporters will criticize me for suggesting that he might be a Shiite Muslim, but it makes for interesting speculation and the facts above make it more likely that he is a Shiite Muslim than a Sunni Muslim.

At the very least, he seems to have sympathies for Shiites that he puts above everything except his sympathies for gays. That is not Islamic, but it may be his strongest religious belief.
