It's really sad that they could not have shown this in a more positive light. Regardless there will be and always has been scoffers and naysayers and as long as we keep our focus on Yeshua and continue to plant seeds He will see to all the rest. 2Ti 2:15 |

We should expect this I think, our world is evil. But it is indeed interesting that it made the headlines on Fox News if even to mock. Satan must know his time is short.

Look at it this way, most websites would have to shell out a ton of cash to get this kind of publicity.
God just let these idiots give it to us for free!
Main stream media crapping on something is like begging people to take whatever it is more seriously these days. I say roll with it. WELCOME NEW PEOPLE!!!

I read the article, twice. I didn't see any mention of unsealed or even a link. ?? Which is great. I'm fully aware that the media loves to paint Christians with a broad brush and get one person who claims to be Evangelical and also holds some fringe view, and lump us all together. It only mentions Meade, but no link or mention of the website that I saw.
I have to agree with Jonathan Sarfati on this one - there is nothing in scripture anywhere that would even suggest there is a planet X or Nibiru. I've seen tons of videos, about the 3 hours of darkness at the crucifixion. It's an enormous leap to build a theology that there is a ginormous secret planet that orbited at the crucifixion and then passes again, on Sept 23.
- I have also seen videos by Scott Clark, Perry Stone, Jonathan Cohn, Cornelius Jones, Mark Biltz, and others, and none of them are saying Sept 23 will be the end of the world, and I would guess that it's the same with Meade. ? I don't know him.
I respect the opinions of those fellow watchmen and women, because they are eagerly looking for the coming of the Messiah, and we all are looking through a glass dimly. No-one has all the pieces of the puzzle, yet.
While I respect their opinions, I think one thing most are missing is that there are two views related to End Times which are mutually exclusive. ***I'm open to fact that there could be a third view, but either people believe
- the Rapture could be at any moment, - that it could happen on Feb 2, March 3, April 4th, May 5th, - could be any day.
- Or they believe that the Feasts are Moadim - appointed times, and Christ fulfills all the feasts in perfect order and in perfect precision. ** In other words, It's impossible to hold the Pre-tribulation rapture view and post-trib view. There is not overlap. Either we believe that as Paul said - The feasts are 'moadim' and shadows of (point to)things to come. Or we believe that the Rapture could be any day- without sign or warning. I am certainly open to hear views as to why, but I think the Feasts are inseparably linked to Christ, and one big reason is that the Gospel was given to provoke the Jews to Jealousy. A Sept alignment does nothing to provoke the Jews to Jealousy, nor does a tsunami in Japan or a huge earthquake or eclipse in the US.
What would provoke the Jews to Jealousy. ?? The rapture (resurrection) happening on the Feast of Trumpets, - which Jews believe is the resurrection, -which is their feast, and the Messiah coming with a Shout, on the day of Shouting, to take his Gentile Bride. Whooooaaaa. Let that sink in a minute. There is a lot of speculation about the Sept alignment, and on the 1st of October, if nothing happens, the sign will be gone, and it won't be back next year, or the next, or the next 100 years. Feast of Trumpets happens every year, and if Oct 1 comes, and there is no prophetic event, and I've searched my heart, prayed more, repented of sin, and draw closer to God, - I've lost nothing. Maranatha my brothers.

I also think that there are plenty of watchmen who really cross the line into numerology, and make every number a combination of 3 or a multiple of 7, or string together 5777 Jewish year and combine 5- number of grace + 777,= perfection and completeness, and it never ends.
I think the Planet X, Nibiru thing is a distraction and makes legitimate watchmen look like kooks , and plays into the narrative that the media is so eager to promote.
There is more than enough things from scripture that we can study and share and explore together without making an argument from silence- speculating about the connection of an alleged giant planet that neither science nor the Bible mentions.
Blessings, Loren O. Watchman.

If you have a legitimate product in the business world, then "any publicity is good publicity." We are not a business, but the same thing applies because we do have a legitimate concept we're trying to promote--the Revelation 12 sign and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Anything that causes people who didn't know about this concept, or weren't thinking about it, to do a Google search or seek for the truth by other means, is a plus.

While it is very true that the Rev 12 sign it's self may not provoke the Jews to jealousy, Paul tells us in 1 Co 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: Just think though, if perhaps the catching away does happen around the time of the Rev 12 sign... this would, I think provoke the Jews more than anything in the last 2000 yrs.

It would appear that discussing signs in the heavens has brought out mockers and scoffers in force for at least 135 years. Our brother, Joseph A. Seiss, in the fourth chapter of his book, "The Gospel in the Stars", ends with a section called A Sneer. It appears the scientistic cult came out in force with reason, then wailed and moaned when he used their own reason against them. He ends with a poem...
My trust is in the Cross; there lies my rest, My fast, my sole delight.
Let cold-mouthed Boreas, or the hot-mouthed East, Blow till they burst with spite;
Let earth and hell conspire their worst, their best, And join their twisted might;
Let showers of thunderbolts dart round and round me, And troops of fiends surround me:
All this may well confront; all this shall ne'er confound me.
