Fires raged in Malibu and Los Angeles California. This comes shortly after a Golden Globe event in which God was mocked and His name was taken in vain several times. How do we know that these two events are related?
The Santa Ana winds are the key. These dry, hot winds from the Santa Ana mountains never arrive in January: it is unheard of. The fire would not have spread if not for the Santa Ana winds.
The Portola Expedition named the mountain range in 1769 while camping here on St. Anne's (Santa Ana’s) Day.
Anne - Hebrew: חַנָּה Ḥannāh “favour, grace”
Wind: the breath or Spirit of God
Hot: signifies intensity leading to destruction
God has sent an unseasonal hot wind as a sign to the world: correction is coming swiftly! If we carefully consider every aspect of what has occurred, it is clear that God is sending a warning to His people.
Golden Globe
Gold: God’s Glory
Globe: The Earth
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14 ESV)
Jesus shows God’s glory to the Earth. Yet the Earth has mocked both Father and Son.
The Fires
But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap… (Malachi 3:2 KJV)
And they shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women: and I will cause you to cease from playing the harlot, and you also shall give no hire any more. (Ezekiel 16:41 AKJV)
Fire often accompanies harsh consequences from God, literally or metaphorically. In Ezekiel, God chastises Israel for having idols of ambitions and the blood of children on the hands of His people. Because of this, He burns their houses.
California has strong laws to “protect the rights” of females so that girls of any age can have an abortion. This is murder in God’s eyes.
“When men strive together and hit a pregnant woman, so that her children come out, but there is no harm, the one who hit her shall surely be fined, as the woman’s husband shall impose on him, and he shall pay as the judges determine. But if there is harm, then you shall pay life for life… (Exodus 21:22-23 ESV)
God considers a life lost if a pregnant mother is injured and the baby dies. In the United States, you may face murder charges if you cause a pregnant woman to miscarry. According to God, abortion is murder.
The fires in California have primarily destroyed residential homes, with only a small percent of businesses lost. God is judging the people of the area, not the businesses, for passing laws that take the lives of the most innocent: the unborn.
Summary:
We are officially under a time where God will bring correction upon the world and even to His people. The Golden Globe Awards represent Jesus, God’s glory shown to the Earth. California has mocked God, blasphemed His name, and has taken the lives of the innocent. The fires reveal that a time of correction for the sins of man is upon us. Where they occurred is a foreshadowing of what will happen in the Body of Christ. Let’s confirm this by looking at where they occurred.
Los Angeles County
The fires took place in Los Angeles County.
For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. (Psalms 91:11 ESV)
Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation? (Hebrews 1:14 ESV)
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 18:10 ESV)
As Christians, we know that God has angels watching over us. The three fires broke out in Los Angeles County. Los Angeles literally means “the angels.” This county represents the Body of Christ and the correction God is bringing to His children.
Correction Coming to the Body of Christ
When we look at the details of these fires, we will see a warning to God’s people. Three fires began in one day. The number three represents God’s spiritual perfection and completion. God will bring strong correction (fire) to three parts of the body to bring spiritual perfection and completion. Examining the three places the fires started we can see the three types of Christians who will experience correction:
Eaton
Eaton means “East Town.” Defining what East Town means can be found in scripture:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV)
God is Love. His mercy is new each and every morning. There is a segment of the Body of Christ that has made this their hometown. They don’t think they should learn about God’s ways or do them. Much of the New Testament warns us to remove sin, like Paul’s warning to Corinth:
Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world. (1 Corinthians 11:28-34 ESV)
We must examine our lives according to God’s ways and judge whether or not we need to change something. This part of the body is focused on the idea that “God is Love” with receiving mercy.
Houses represent churches or our lives. Many houses were lost in two specific cities because of the Eaton fire. How the fire was started and what was affected by it will help us pinpoint exactly where they have gone wrong.
Started by the Southern California Edison equipment
Jesus is Light. Edison invented electricity and the modern light bulb. The lack of maintenance on the lines is what caused the fire. This group isn’t worried about their connection to Jesus, the Light. They are attempting to maintain a connection. They just said a prayer and have continued on with life.
As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.” By Your favor, O Lord, You made my mountain stand strong… (Psalms 30:6-7 ESV)
Mount Wilson burned
Willson means Son of William.
Will: exerting mental strength
Helm: protection for the head
Focusing on the protection from the head through the favor of God
The first hit was the City of Altadena: 7000 homes destroyed
Alta: means upper
Dena: is Pasadena, which means a crown of the valley
Upper crown of the valley
A crown is about royalty. Upper is above. This group believes that by taking Jesus as Lord, their status is elevated: they are above the valley of death and do not need anything more. They are focused on being the object of God’s favor.
The meaning of this fire is confirmed with the second city that was hit. Strong Santa Ana winds destroyed hundreds of homes in Sierra Madre.
Hundreds of homes burned in Sierra Madre
It is known as Wisteria City because it has the largest wisteria vine
Wisteria: Purple flower (love and royalty)
It is poisonous
Will kill a tree: blocking out the sun, preventing photosynthesis and growth.
Jesus is the Son; we should be growing and learning His ways.
Flowers represent love. Purple is the color of royalty. But the wisteria flower is poisonous. Focusing solely on the love and mercy of God will bring death and sickness to this group of Christians because we are not connecting with the Son of God by learning His ways and doing them.
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:7-8 ESV)
Sowing takes effort. What are you spending time and effort on? God will not be mocked by mere pretense. For those who have taken Jesus as Lord but then do not learn His ways and apply them to their lives, a strong correction is coming.
Palisades Fire
Palisades are created by sharpening logs into points and arranging them around an encampment to protect them. Trees are leaders; sharpened logs are teachings of leaders we focus on; since it is a palisade, these concern warfare.
Started at a popular hiking destination, Skull Rock
Calvary means skull, also the name of many churches
It was where Jesus was crucified
a focus on the payment received at the cross
How can it be wrong to focus on what happened at the cross? Isn’t that the point of being a Christian? So far, we have something about teaching about warfare and the cross. Let’s look a bit more.
Topanga State Park burned.
Native American: “where the mountain meets the sea” or “a place above.”
Prosperity and favor from the spiritual realm that is above others.
Will Rogers Historic Park destroyed
First and highest-paid Movie Star
Established the Palisades as home to Hollywood elite
Famous for cowboy roping from horseback
Roping is drawing something to us through our efforts.
Horses: Strength
Receiving what we want through our strength
Some believe that we should be well-supplied and wealthy since Jesus conquered all and since He is our provider. All we have to do is have faith, declare, and decree what we desire, and then receive it.
I know how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want. (Philippians 4:12 AMPC)
Paul, who wrote about half the New Testament, tells us that he was in “straitened circumstance,” which means in a state of need. Not having a lot of money doesn’t mean you don’t have faith.
The same people often teach Christians that if they have enough faith, they can remove all attacks of the enemy: It is just a matter of saying the right prayer with enough faith. This is trying to lasso or throw a rope around our freedom through our words.
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. (James 5:16 ESV)
The word confess means more than state we are wrong. It means to see our sins they way the other person does. In the case of sin, the other person is God. This is when a prayer has great effect; when we are willing to see our sins the way God does. It isn’t only having faith!
The Palisade fire decimated another area.
Homes destroyed in Malibu.
Malibu: Native American Chumash tribe - surf sounds loudly
Ocean: Spirit realm
There is a segment of the Body of Christ that is very presumptuous about what we have received through the cross. Some think that since Jesus was given “all authority,” we have that same authority. The Bible never says that. Those who attack in the spiritual realm with unauthorized authority will find destruction coming to their lives. The people most famous for this teaching will be destroyed, along with many who fortify their position with a palisade employing their teachings.
Hurst fire: 7th-12 AM on the 16th,
Northernmost edge of Los Angeles. North is towards God. It is also west of
O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hill and to Your dwelling. (Psalms 43:3 ESV)
Originally named Sylmar
Sea of Trees: meaning an ocean of trees as far as you can see.
Trees are man
Those ministering to the children of God for all to see.
Hurst
Wooded (tree-filled) hill
Hill is a place where work is done and God’s dwelling place
Only two mobile homes were destroyed in Oakridge Subdivision
Houses: Our life - two people will die.
Oakridge: God’s Children who walk in righteousness
…to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified. (Psalms 61:3 ESV)
This last group is actually those who are doing God’s work; they are the ones closest to Him. Two houses were lost. There are two people who God will work through who will die in Jerusalem.
And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and three score days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed….
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. (Revelation 11:3-5, 7-8 ESV)
The two witnesses are two people who will be empowered by God and killed in Jerusalem. If this were two people groups, how could they all be in Jerusalem at the same time to be killed? The streets of Jerusalem could not hold them all.
When you see the two people killed in Jerusalem and their bodies not buried, then all will know that these are the Two Witnesses.
There are two names for this group. Sylmar refers to the Witness of the 2nd Coming. God sent John the Baptist to prepare His people for the First Coming; would He not send a Witness for the 2nd?
The job of this witness is implied in the name of the fire: to minister to God’s people, the sea of trees. After a short time of ministering to the body of Christ, the Witness of the Second Coming will join with someone wearing the mantle of Elijah, and they will be the Two witnesses, doing the job defined by the second name: Hurst. They will help the Body connect with God in Heaven, elevating them to the next level. This can be confirmed by the locations that were threatened by the fire:
Yarnell Street
Nest of eagles
Eagles: prophets
Silver Oaks Drive
Silver: redemption
Nicklaus Drive
Victory of the people
Saddle Ridge Court
Saddle: equipping for riding a horse
Horse: moving in power
Ridge: a place overlooking the ground
Olive
Olives are the fruit of olive trees
Olive trees: God’s people
Every single location reported in the news as being threatened by this fire alludes to what the Two Witnesses will do (the nest of Eagles). For those who are redeemed through Jesus (silver oaks). They will help to bring victory to the people by showing them how to move in the power of God (Saddle Ridge). The people will walk in the fruit of the Spirit.
At this time, the street where the houses were destroyed is not specified. It would be interesting if they were on the street with the name Olive. The entire subdivision is named after various trees. That would point to these as the two olive trees!
When Will this Occur?
To accept the sign about when this will occur, you must have an open mind about the Book of Revelation. If anything I say contradicts what you have been taught, I hope you will take the time to review the Revelation series at the Living Word. (It is free)
Knowing the Hurst fire is about the Two Witnesses, which is the key to understanding the timing of this correction. That fire lasted eight days, literally ending at midnight. The rapture will happen in the 8th year after the Tribulation begins.
The other fires remain burning because some Christians will not go in the rapture. Besides the information about the churches in Revelation, look at the parable about the 10 virgins. All were waiting for the Bridegroom (Jesus). That means all were Christians. Only Five went in. Five were left out.
There is a sign to confirm that after eight days (years), God’s wrath will be poured out.
And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in Heaven was opened: And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. And one of the four beasts gave to the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever. And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. (Revelation 15: 5-8 AKJV)
We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” (John 9:4-5 ESV)
There will come a time when no one will hear from God because no one can enter the Temple in Heaven with prayers. Jesus referred to this time as “night when no man can work.”
The same day the Hurst fire went out was the same day a fire occurred elsewhere:
Moss Landing: 16th
The world's largest lithium battery power plant providing energy from solar power caught fire.
Moss: Does not have roots, repopulates through air-borne spores, and removes toxins from the air and land.
The movement of the Holy Spirit helps us remove harmful elements from our lives.
Lithium Battery Power Plant
Solar Powered
Jesus is the Son of God; through Him we receive the Holy Spirit
After the rapture, access to God will be removed, and so will the reservoir of the Holy Spirit: the 10 virgins with no oil are left. This confirms the meaning of the fires and the warning from God about what is to come.
