What’s Happening? ..Are We Approaching Completion?

WHAT’S HAPPENING?  Are we in a Time of Divine Completion?

Do you think that all of this is just a coincidence? That an “opposition force” controls most of the largest cities in the world. That this opposition force is going against the free gathering of the church? That as soon as the fruitless impeachment push fails a virus rises. Does God allow a straw house to flourish? Does He honor false pretenses and glorification of the world system? Has the house of worship been corrupted by money, marketing, and self-promotion? Many have led God’s people astray with falsehoods. Many pastors and leaders seem to have believed the lie and lost their heavenly compass.

The homeless, the widow and the orphan point a finger at you. God has sent you warnings, but you have ignored them. The storm clouds have turned black and He is bringing forth His Truth. The earth and everything in it, the world, and its inhabitations, belong to the Lord; for He laid its foundation to the seas and established it on the rivers. Many Christian Academians & intellectuals have not ascended to the mountain of the Lord. They have not shared Truth from His Holy Mountain, nor understood the significance of Mt. Horeb in Arabia. They are blinded by Egypt and have misled His people. They have taught evolution as Bible truth and thus worshipped Creation instead of the Creator. 

Who has clean hands and a pure heart? Who has not set his mind on what is false? And who has not sworn deceitfully and in vain? Who will receive the blessing of  Revelation and righteousness of His salvation? Seek His Truth and  seize being False Teachers, for you will be held accountable as you hurt His children!

God can transform the valley of trouble to the gateway of blessing.  Lift up your heads you gate! Rise up you ancient doors! The King of Glory will come in. He will shake the earth and the foundations of the mountains will tremble. They shake because He burns with anger; smoke will rise from His nostrils and consuming fire will come from His mouth. He will part the heavens and come down, a dark cloud beneath His feet. He will ride on a cloud soaring on the wings of the wind. He is Light and can make darkness His hiding place, and dark storm clouds His canopy. From the radiance of His presence, His clouds sweep onward with hail and blazing coals.

Do not dwell in the Valley of confusion, seek the Glory & Truth of His gateway. Turn the valley of trouble into the gate of hope.  Know that when the LORD thunders from heaven; He shouts to the depths of the sea & will part the foundation of the world.  Heaven will open and judgment will come, so humbly Seek the Lord with all your mind, heart, and soul before it is too late. Jesus said before this happens, “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.”

Encourage one another as the Day draws near. God has numbered the days and He has numbered your day. Do you realize that He gave us a roadmap at the very beginning of Genesis? On the first day He divided darkness from light. This parallels the spiritual division that happened in that first 1000 years. Adam’s sin caused a darkness that divided earth and cast mankind out of the garden of Eden. On the 2nd day God divided the waters which is parallel to what happened in the next 1000 as God flooded the earth dividing the saved from the lost with a global flood. On the 3rd Day God created plants and their seeds which parallels the main event of the 3rd 1000 years, the Abrahamic covenant and God’s Promise that his seed would bless every nation in the world. Then on the 4th Day God created the “Heavenly Lights” which parallels God’s Light as His Prophets spread the Promise of an Eternal Savior throughout the earth. On the 5th Day God made the living creatures which parallels the life and death of the Savior and the regeneration and restoration of mankind; we are made new creations in Him. On the 6th Day God made Man telling him to fill the earth and subdue it, while in that 6th “1000-year period” man would indeed totally subdue the earth taking dominion and spreading the Word of God to all nations. The 7th day was made for rest to enjoy the presence of the Lord; and thus, the Millennium or the last 1000 years will be ruled by the Lord and will be a time of rest and peace with Him.

God has everything planned out and He has a calling for your life, but know this Hebrews 9:27 states that, “It is appointed for men to die once, and after this comes the judgment.” Just as your day is numbered a Grandeur Plan is at Hand. God placed the Heavenly Lights for the seasons and to act as a Sign of things to come.  And He has numbered the days of Civilization and this Earth. It is no coincidence that most of the big cities are now controlled by opposition forces and that China incubated many of the deadly viruses that has threatened the world. Communist China is the red Dragon nation that has persecuted Christians since its founding over 50 years ago. They have counterfeited our products including the American dollar, stolen intellectual property and built a military machine with stolen secrets that is aimed to kill us.  They are a perfect example of what the Dragon is, has been doing, and will do.  In this crazy time “of tossing & roaring” it is time to repent and turn to God.

Here are some Biblical Signs of the End:    1) In the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. 2) Jesus said, “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.” “And this Gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Jesus who quoted the prophet Daniel, also communicated with him saying, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel was told to shut the book until our present time, a time when jet planes and cars speed us across the byways and when knowledge expands to new horizons every day.  This study will show you why this is the time of the end and that His clock has been set. 

3)  Numbers and distinct spans of time play a key role. Twenty, for instance is the number for “Completion” as it was the age of manhood; when one could join the military and give a sacrifice in the Temple. It was a perfect period of waiting or suffering as in Laban’s treatment of Jacob. When added to a 50-year Jubilee time of national remembrance & return, it became a special Prophetic generational 70-year period. Daniel lived in a special prophetic 70-year period that saved the nation of Israel and connected the Jews to Cyrus the Great and Persia. Likewise, the formation of the modern nation of Israel in 1947-48 began a new 70-year prophetic period that connects Israel, Truman, President Trump, and America to the “Great Sign of the Woman in Revelation 12.”  Connected to this sign is WHAT is happening today.  We can conclude that 2020-21 is a super-perfect time of vision, completion of certain prophetic events and a shadow of many new beginnings?  

4) The Great Sign of Revelation 12 appeared on Sept. 23^rd, 2017 and was confirmed by astronomers.  It should have drawn the attention of Prophecy and Bible teachers.  Theologians know that “The Woman” gave birth to a Son who is to rule with a rod of iron at least 2000 years after His birth. However, the next phrase “her child was caught up” or “rapturo” does not refer to the Ascension of Jesus Christ.  Jesus had just defeated death, sin & Satan, and was NOT under any threat by this “Dragon.” Therefore, He did not need to be “caught up.” This promise transcends time as it points forward to a future rapture of the Church which will be “caught up” before the Dragon can destroy it.  Just like in Daniel’s 70-week prophecy this End-Time prophecy unhitches from the first part of the verse and points to the future. It is like the Lord’s great declaration from Isaiah 61:1, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me…” which stops mid-verse- with the last part of the promise to be fulfilled 2000 years later.  Likewise, the child in the second part of the verse is now the “Church” which will be pursued and persecuted by Satan for hundreds of years.  Hence the Great Sign is anchored in the past like a sign anchored in concrete. But it points to the future as a sign should. And note the Sign has a long timeline starting with the birth of Jesus and extending to the future rapture and beyond to the Millennium. It functions like Daniel’s 70-week Prophecy by connecting the distant past to the far future.  Both span a period of about 2000 years. Daniel’s final Week has two 3 1/2 periods each having 1260 days. Rev. 12:6, mentions that the Woman flees into the wilderness and is protected by God for 1260 days. Both Daniel and Revelation 12 fit together in a divine template of 3 ½ year periods.

There are other interesting correlations and perplexing parallels revealed in Chapter 12 of both books.  The Twelfth Chapter of Daniel states, “At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people (Israel); and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation even to that time.”  Does the Wrath of God begin here, when Michael must deal with the onslaught of Satan and his angels revealed in Chapter 12 of Revelation? “And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon….so the great dragon was cast out…and his angels were cast out with him.“  Then a warning is given: “Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman (Israel) who gave birth to the male CHILD (now the Church).”

In next chapter John the Revelator sees the “beast rising up out of the sea, having 7 heads and 10 horns, and states that the Beast “was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion…..the dragon gave him his power.” Satan is mad and he intends to destroy the Woman, her offspring, and her child.  In Chapter 7 of the book of Daniel four beasts come out of the Great Sea having been churned by the four winds.  One was like a lion, another like a bear, the other like a leopard, and the last different than all the others having iron teeth and 10 horns.  This last super-Beast is obviously the same “Beast” of Revelation 12 who is described as having characteristics of bear, lion, and leopard.  Does this mean that this final beast is a world-wide beast like the 10 +3 nations that have nuclear weapons (the Iron Teeth)? There are major rumors of war to come in the Kurd-Iran-Turkey corridor and in the Pakistan-China-India region (all having the Iron Teeth),  In Chapter 12 of Daniel the “man clothed in linen (Jesus) tells Daniel, “it shall be for a time, times, and half a time, (which equals to 3 1/2 years) and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.” Both Revelation 12 and Daniel warn of a 3-and one-half year period of severe persecution by the Anti-Christ on the holy people of Israel. It seems that Michael has withdrawn from his position protecting Israel. Is he the “restrainer” in II Thess. 2:8 who “is taken away?”  

In the Word of God, we see the Anti-Christ or Beast rising out of the sea (gentile population) and determined to destroy Israel. These events or effects include “the churning of the sea by the 4 winds.” What causes this stirring or churning and why is the dragon cast out of heaven?  Is he cast out because there is no place for him since the Church has been raptured and he can no longer be the accuser of the saints?  Is the rapture itself the “churning of the seas?”  Certainly, the rapture will cause massive chaos and concern among the people of all nations.  Where else do we see the 4 winds?  In Rev. 7:1 the 4 winds have been held back by 4 angels, while God seals the 144,000 who will replace the church. It is implied that the winds are then released, and John sees an entire host of saints dressed in white: “His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire; a fiery stream issued and came forth before Him. A thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.”  Are these the raptured saints or are the raptured saints in Rev.5?  In Revelation Chapter 5 there are ten thousand times ten thousand angels seen in heaven, but these are not the saints.  The answer will determine when the rapture happens. Many think that the saints in Chapter 7 are Saints slain in the Wrath of God, but why would they be in heaven when the real Wrath of God has not yet happened?

There are many other interesting observations to be made concerning events related to the chapter 12 warning.  In the next chapter of Revelation or Rev. 13, we see the Beast rising out of the sea and then being given authority for exactly 42 months or 3 and 1/2 years.   This beast had been wounded and the whole world marveled at his recovery and followed him. This is the same 3 and 1/2 years spoken about in Daniel 7:25, “He shall… persecute the saints of the Most High & shall intend to change times & laws (overturning of statues & history) then the saints shall be given into his hand for (3 1/2 years)“.  Soon he signs a covenant with Israel which may include the permission to build the Temple.  This has not happened, but God in His Grace is giving us a shadow to warn us. The 1^st Blood moon happened exactly 3 ½ years prior to the Great Sign of Rev. 12 which came at the end of the “Holy” Jubilee of 2017 and marked the beginning of the next 3 ½ year period. The first period was characterized by the Rise of ISIS and the 2^nd has so far included the transgender revolution & Covid. Both introduced lawlessness and rebellion in our social order and man’s relation to God.  Perversion, transsexuality, & hate are at new levels.

Daniel & Revelation are connected to our present-day history. The Great Sign of Revelation 12 HAPPENED in a cloud of major storms, mass killings and sex scandals which portends what we are experiencing NOW- rising disorder with a paradigm of New Beginnings in every sector.  We are seeing a shaking of nations, cultures, and establishments of every kind.  The intensity of the shaking will increase until there is a revival. The Word uses “shadows” to connect the supernatural to the natural. The “shadow of His wings” is a refuge and the Valley of the SHADOW of death is a place God allows to test and purify us. God warns us with shadows, fire, pestilence and lawlessness.

This year was to be a showpiece event in Dubai, the 2020 Expo.  Sheik Muhammed the leader of Dubai, however, is now in the middle of salacious scandal and a high-level divorce involving courts in England. And princess Latifa, one of his daughters, was kidnapped from a yacht owned by a French sailor in international waters that was trying to smuggle her out of Dubai. Prior to her recent attempt to escape she claimed that she had been imprisoned and tortured for 3 years while a teenager. Since her recent capture she has disappeared and is feared dead. So, it makes sense that the wife is frightened for her own life.  It is well known that women are subjected to abuse along with many workers needed to build the massive new structures: including a whole new A.I. city and over 80 skyscrapers throughout old and new Dubai.  Throughout the world the Covid 19 virus has shut down extensive gambling, sex, and sports establishments that draw crowds to idol worship.  Huge amounts of black money have been flowing through these markets and much of it is whitewashed in the construction of buildings in Dubai and elsewhere.  God has allowed this to happen but will soon push back on this evil. In the meantime, this atmosphere of uncertainty, chaos, and fear will continue to shake society and will draw the lost to Him.

If we go back to the time of Moses, we discover that at Mt. Sinai, God spoke from the Holy Mountain on the Sabbath after the Trumpets were blown to gather the people. God is now speaking through the Great Sign of Revelation 12 which was timed to happen right after all the Trumpets were blown during the great Feast of Trumpets, near the closing of the first Day of Awe. Note the name of our President is TRUMP, this is no coincidence.  There are 10 Days of Awe which were set up by God for the people to humble themselves before the Lord in preparation for the great Day of Atonement. No trumpets were blown during this solemn 10-day period.  This was to be a special Holy Time of remembrance and Return.  It was the period in which the Great Sign appeared in 2017. Thirty days prior to this Sign, Teshuva began marking the beginning of 40 days of remembrance and forgiveness which included the 10 Days of Awe and ended on the Day of Atonement. A day prior to Teshuva, the United States saw the great American Solar Eclipse.

Teshuva and especially the Days of Awe were a time for people to Return to God & purify oneself.  God’s Glory & Mercy was celebrated as people and Priests performed special acts of forgiveness and services before the Great Day of Atonement.  What does all this mean?  The Great Sign points to a time in History during which God used Holy Festivals to honor His Promises.  Before and after this Sign, He has set a special time of purification in which He is stirring things up so that people will seek and come to Him and “His Holy Mountain,” seeking mercy, with a repentant heart. All of this is like a shadow that God is casting over His earth.  It is a shadow of His Mercy and Grace, but it is also a warning for us to remember what we have done and who we are so that we can humble ourselves and pray. The Word says, “Be alert and of sound mind so that you can pray.”  God is purifying the earth and He wants you to know the Truth before Judgment Day.

Here are three important truths to know and understand:  A.  The Great Sign is NOT just about the past.  Jesus Christ is speaking today and WARNING pastors, prophecy speakers, and the Church as he did the Pharisees of old to hear with their ears and open their eyes to see what NEEDS TO BE SEEN. Even the Pharisaical Jewish calendar may be wrong as I will explain later. Many church leaders appear to be so blind that they do not even know where the true Mountain of God is located on this planet. They have believed the lies of the Saudi and Egyptian archeologists and think that Mt. Sinai or Mt. Horeb is in Egypt and not in “Arabia” as stated in the Bible.  Arabia has always been on the East side of the Red Sea as in “Saudi Arabia.”  Jesus warns, “Hearing you will hear and not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive; for the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes have been closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears. Mat. 13:10-15.  I promise that with two verses from the Word of God and 20 minutes of your time with a map I can prove beyond doubt that Mt. Sinai is not in Egypt but instead is in the Arabian land mass.

Jesus also states that there is a big tendency for smug leaders to miss the obvious signs, “When it is evening you say, ‘it will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; and in the morning, ‘it will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.“  So, if someone misinterprets Revelation and then promotes it to their congregation in error, is that considered “adding to the words written?” Is this one reason why many churches are not growing or why there is so much illness, abortion, divorce, and suicide within the church?

B. After the “Woman” or the Jews in Jerusalem flee into the wilderness they are protected by God (Matt. 24:15), for 1260 days.  This has not yet happened.  As stated in Rev. 12:6, Satan is cast out of heaven and knows he only has a short time, so he pursues the Woman but is stopped by God and turns away to persecute the believing Jews. This has not happened. By this time God has already raptured the Church or “child,” which has yet to happen.

C. The book of Revelation is the only book that promises blessings to those who read it and even to those who hear it (and the blessings are at both the beginning and the end). Revelation 12 is in a Key location, right in the middle of the book! The Sign itself is unusual because when it appears it is “invisible” to the human eye. As far as I know NO OTHER PROPHECY TEACHER NOR PASTOR HAS NOTED THIS REMARKABLE FACT.  It is obvious yet few have taken the effort and time to understand God’s Great Sign. This is VERY SAD.  Note the Sun is on the Woman’s shoulder and when the Sun is shining nearby you cannot see the stars and moon, yet God still calls it a Great Sign and says that it “appeared.” Why?  Is there a deeper meaning?  First realize that trying to catch the sun at the right moment could have blinded the person who dared look at the Sign for too long. Likewise man cannot look upon God for He is Perfectly Holy.  And note that God knew we would have astronomers that would have known that this sign appeared, yet very few associated it with the complete Word of God. Is God suggesting that we are blind to His warnings? Why would God use an invisible Sign? 

It was in an early morning dream state the Lord imposed on me the impression that an invisible Sign had a significant purpose, after which I quickly wrote it down. This leading from the Holy Spirit inspired me to study more and to hurry up my writing on the impact of the Jubilee, the Festivals, the Fig Tree, the Solar Eclipse, and the Prophetic Generation.  There was also affirmation from others who were anticipating something extra-ordinary such as Planet-X, but these were just diversions coming from Dark sources.  Satan was using these false prophets to undermine the true meaning of this Sign and to destroy any credibility related to the Sign since Planet X never appeared nor existed! 

Like the parables the Sign of the Woman of Revelation 12 has a hidden supernatural purpose and meaning. Satan’s attempt to rewrite its meaning only affirms the importance of the Great Sign.  These attempts at counterfeit and undermining of truth is Satan’s signature method to mislead mankind.  He and his world system have also tried their hardest to undermine the credibility of the following three divine books connected to His amazing sign:  Genesis, Daniel, and of course Revelation.  In the book of Genesis Satan’s demise is prophesied and in the book of Revelation it is realized. In the book of Daniel, the timing of all this is laid out. Each of these books deal with the Cosmic conflict between Jesus Christ and Satan.  In Genesis, the serpent is condemned by God when God tells him that the Seed of the Woman will crush His head.  This is exactly what is depicted in the Great Sign with the stars of the Dragon in Drago, the great star Spica in Virgo ( which means the SEED in the Virgin) and the great star Regulus in Leo (which means the Royalty of the Lion of Judah). 

The “hidden invisibility” aspect of the message is KEY to the Great Sign’s importance! What the Sign signifies and points to is the beginning of a New Paradigm where invisible forces will appear and grow in intensity as they impact the world. These invisible forces are: 1) Spiritual forces in dark places and principalities of evil, but also includes God’s counter-forces including His angels, 2) Famines and deadly microbes such as viruses or bacteria and their pandemics and epidemics 3) Natural events such as weather and earthquakes and 4) Lawlessness which emanates from those evil  forces. Jesus states, “Because lawlessness will increase, the love of many will grow cold.” 

Let us first consider these amazing facts: The Great Sign happened in 2017 soon after the warnings given by the Great Solar Eclipse. It occurred right at the end of the last Jubilee and began in Days of Awe hours after the Feast of Trumpets. It happened in the early morning as the sun rose on Sept. 23rd, 2017, exactly 1260 days after the first blood moon of April 15, 2014. Does this suggest that it will be followed by a foreshadowing extending another 1260 days into the future; a 3 ½ year extension of Awe to shake up the church and to purify Christians?  For instance, right now fantasy theme parks, drama theatres and movie theaters are closed most of which proclaim the world’s message of revisionist history, fantasy, horror, debauchery, or immorality.  Television which has negatively affected the family and our culture has also seen production limitations. Christians who have been caught up in this worldly worship are being set free. Events that draw people away from church like sports have halted.   The “idols” in the lives of many have been torn down and now people are discovering deeper relationships at home and on zoom with the church.  God is working in mighty ways to transform hearts and lives.

In my book Cosmic Crossroad Countdown, which was completed in early August, I suggested that the approaching Solar Eclipse of 2017 would be a warning to America of MAJOR COMING Storms. The year 2017 ended up being the costliest year ever for America. Over 306 billion dollars was needed to repair damages from 3 major hurricanes, 10 other major weather disasters, and major fire storms. The Great American Solar Eclipse happened 30 days prior to the Great Sign of Revelation 12, a day before Teshuva began. It paralleled the time of Return and surrender that God had set for the purifying of the people before the Day of Atonement. We are now seeing the results of increasing birth pains and accelerating “invisible” assaults on the family, on social order and neighborhood security.  We must remember that God’s Signs are all connected to history and to His footprints & promises that are woven into His Story.  He has a reason for what He wrote in the sky.

If this Great Sign is correct, these assaults will increase or multiply into different forms such as pestilence, droughts, famines, or earthquakes, (as forewarned by Jesus at the Olivet Discourse in Mathew 24). Soon later the Anti-Christ is revealed and makes his move. The book also explains in much greater detail how magnificent and majestic the Sign of Revelation 12 really was when it appeared amid Israel’s major Festivals.  The stars and planets moved into an amazing array at a perfect time in the Jewish calendar to display the “birth of the child” (Jupiter entered the womb of Virgo for over 9 months); and 3 other planets lined up perfectly next to Regulus (Mars for man, Venus for High Priest and Mercury for Messenger). It all happened in a convergence of 4 distinctive blood moons, 4 major planets, three constellations, a curious comet, stars, and sun; all within a perfect orchestration of God’s historical Jubilees, the 40-day surrender and return to God during Teshuva, and the celebration of Feast of Trumpets, the Days of Ingathering, the Feast of Tabernacles and the special Day of Atonement.

What does all these mean for the Church and unbelievers today?  I will continue to share my honest opinion based on what seems to be the Perfect Character of God who Loves us and Seeks to Save as many Souls as Possible.  His will is unfolding quickly in these Last Days. God is abundant in Mercy and His Word states “His Mercies are New Every Morning!”  I believe that God has created a Template that will reflect and warn of the Great Tribulation or Wrath of God to come. This time-and-event-template began with the first blood moon on April 15th of 2014.  Three-and one-half years later the Sign of Revelation 12 occurred.  We are almost 3 years into the 2nd three-and one-half year period of foreshadowing.  By April 2021 it will total seven years of foreshadowing with the Revelation 12 Sign in the middle. Likewise, in Mat. 24, Jesus forewarns that after birth pains will come a period where “you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake, and many will be offended, betraying one another, and .. lawlessness will abound.”  Then He warns people in Judea who “see the Abomination of Desolation standing in the holy place” to flee into the wilderness because the “great tribulation” or the final 3-and one-half weeks is about to begin. Cosmic Crossroad Countdown predicted that God would allow various kinds of “invisible attacks” to motivate Jews to leave America and other countries and return to Israel.  This is NOW happening. For a simple-to-understand time-line presentation and a good perspective on God’s wheel of time in world history check out the book and the graphs presented.

In this season involving the “Day of Awe Foreshadowing” we have seen foreboding evidence of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse.  The White Horse or the False teachers and cults have spread their lies throughout the earth winning many lost hearts and minds.  The Red horse of Islam & Communism has persecuted and terrorized every continent and Islam especially caused many to kill each other forcing millions to flee the Middle East.  The Black Horse has caused scarcity all over Africa, the Middle East, India, and many other nations affected by Covid, drought, and locusts. Is the Pale Green Horse about to happen bringing wider-scale death and destruction?  Rebellion, chaos, and scarcity will add to the mayhem and confusion to where nations and kingdoms will suffer great travail. Will this initiate a world war?

These events could also be a foreshadowing of a the much greater Tribulation or Wrath about to happen after the rapture of the “child.”  When the church is raptured Satan and his demon angels will be cast from heaven and they will magnify the severity and effects of the 4 seals and the 4 Horsemen that will be opened up and let loose one after another. Read the rest of Revelation 12.  The Church will not be around to mollify the extent of this confusion, fear, and despair.  God, however, will appoint the 144,000 Messianic Jews who will act as a divine compass. This is shown in Chapter 7 of Revelation right after the 6th Seal when the earth experiences a great earthquake along with a sack-cloth sun and the Blood moon.  Is this great Earthquake a result of the billions of graves cracking open throughout the world during the rapture of the dead?  When Jesus was resurrected there was a large local earthquake?

An important scenario is  reflected in Chapter 2:30 of Joel’s Prophecy concerning both the Moon & Sun which happens before “the great and awesome Day of the Lord (or the Wrath of God).” This Blood moon and Sack-cloth sun act as a pivot point and warn of the Wrath to come. This clearly separates the Seal judgements from the Wrath of God or the “Day of the LORD.” For in Revelation 6, the 6th and final Seal includes this Blood moon and Darkened sun.  Thus, it and the other 5 Seals have to happen prior to the Wrath. Hence the rapture of the church may happen during this last seal when the great earthquake causes the kings to hide in caves in fear.  Are they in fear because their loved ones have been raptured? Does this rapture of the dead cause the earthquake? Even though the church is to be raptured the Bible and God’s Spirit will still be around along with the Gospel Angel.  So, what could happen next? Many ministries are recording record responses to the Gospel as they go full throttle on sharing the Gospel online! Could riots, the rapture, or a massive revival happen between Passover and March 20-21 (end date of the 7-year template)?  God’s original New Year begins on the vernal equinox or March 20, 2021 which matches this date.

Another important Truth that both the Protestant/Catholic Church and the Messianic church seem to have missed is the strong possibility that the Essenes who hid the Dead Sea Scrolls were the first to predict the death of Israel’s Messiah?  They seemed to disappear as a group about the time that the Church was formed. Did they become Christians? They had a solar based calendar that was more accurate with harvest seasons and festivals. It was superior to the lunar oriented Jewish calendar since an additional month did not have to be added every 10 years.  Their calendar added 4 extra days based on adding 2 solstices plus 2 equinoxes and thus equaled to a 364-day year. Their calendar was divided into four 90-day periods or seasons with these four special days separating each period.  This was much closer to the change of seasons year after year than the Jewish 12 X 30 = 360-day year.  There were four other very special days, “Grace focused” holidays in the summer season each of which fell on Sunday: 1^st Fruits of new Wine, Pentecost and the counting of the Omer, the First Fruits of Barley, and the New Oil. Each of these days were exactly 49 days apart or 7 weeks. The 50^th day rested on that day and it was always a Sunday!  This may be one big reason why the Church started worship on Sundays.  According to the lunar calendar we are in the year 5780 whereas in the Essene calendar we are at about 5945.  Check out Ken Johnson, Ancient Dead Sea Scroll Calendar video on YouTube.  

After the Cosmic battle between Michael the Archangel and the prince of Persia, Daniel was given the divine message and the timing of future events.  He was told to keep the book closed until the end, and it has been kept closed to the Jews who seem to be unable or unwilling to interpret it. Both the Pharisees and the Sadducees were unable to comprehend the timing of Daniel’s prophecy and its connection to Jesus Christ. But the Essenes understood, possibly because John the Baptist associated with them.  Like the Essenes he used baptism as a sign of purification and a change of heart or repentance. They knew the time of the Messiah’s reign down to the very year of His crucifixion, and this may be because they were the scribes of the Dead Sea Scrolls which included the accurate prophecies of Daniel.  Note, that John the Baptist was led by the Spirit of Elijah and was the son of Zacharia, a Priest of the Temple and therefore must have had a special divine understanding. Besides knowing that Jesus was the Messianic King promised in Daniel’s 490-year prophecy, they may have known that his final entry into Jerusalem would lead to his death at the important end date of 483 years spoken to Daniel by the angel Gabriel.   

Three promises in Daniel’s prophecy related to the Messiah were at least partially fulfilled at the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ: that of finishing the transgression, the making an end of sins and finally the beginning of eternal righteousness.   These all happened at once.  Likewise, the future Revelation will involve multiple layers of events that will overlap and come quickly.  The Seal Judgments, Trumpet Judgments and Bowls that make up the End-Time come quickly with one atop the other as each seal of the Lamb’s Book is broken. For instance, the 7^th seal is the 1^st Trumpet, the 7^th trumpet is the 1^st Bowl judgment. There are moments of silence and intermittent hesitation in heaven to allow angelic preparation, the rapture, Satan to be cast out, or for the 144,000 Jews to be chosen. As stated, earlier Jesus Christ is in control.  He speaks to us in His Word, “Let not your hearts be troubled.”  He consoles us with this forewarning, “In the World you will have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the World.”  Although the church will not go through the Wrath of God, it has and will face trials and tribulation. The church which has been infiltrated with evil and “false Christs” will be purified, the faithful will be raptured, then (God) will shake not only the earth but also the heaven, Heb.12:26.  Jesus wants us to know that He will be with us through trials and will protect and provide for us.  The Promises He made will be kept and He will preserve a remnant of Israel (The Woman) and His bride (The Church).
