The Great Sign of Revelation 12 happened at the end of what prophetic Jews call the Holy Jubilee or the first Jubilee of the Century. It therefore, marks the beginning of a new time on God’s 50-year calendar. The Sign also came at the end of the Hebrew year 5777 into 5778 with the 8 standing for both “new beginnings” and since 8=Peh=Mouth, for God making a new Proclamation. It occurred right after the Feast of Trumpets and during the 10 Days of Awe which is a time for Holy preparation of both ones heart and the atmosphere within the Holy of Holies before the Day of Atonement. God is in essence announcing that we all need to prepare our hearts for His return is emminent. The 777 is for perfection and the Spirit of God working in a mighty way as with Joshua and the 7 priests with 7 Trumpets blowing them on the 7th day.
The Great Sign like the Star of Bethlehem involved many lights pointing to the birth of Jesus Christ & the nation of Israel, and using the Sun, Moon, Stars, along with 3 Planets in a very unique arrangement over a period of many months. Just as with the Star of Bethlehem the religious leaders failed to see with eyes that see and failed their commission. Satan successfully distracted the “eyes” of man so they were “blind guides” just as Jesus warned. Our church was distracted by those “agitators and distractors” claimng that Planet X or Nibiru would collide and destroy the earth. This is one more reason why the Sign was real!
Read the first verse of Revelation 12 and realize “the Sun on her shoulder” would blind anyone viewing the Great Sign and therefore, no one could see the Sign as the sun moved into place. Both the “moon on her feet” and the “garland of twelve stars” would be Invisible to human eyes. So why would God call it a Great Sign? Why would He use the word “appeared” if we could not actually see it? Well, the astronomers and those with star-maps knew that the Sign was happening as the constellations, moon, and Sun moved into configuration. God is never wrong, nor does He use bad thinking to reach or teach us. He knew our astronomers would see the sign. Because the Sign was invisible could God be telling us that invisible forces would invade our space and affect our lives. He has been trying to get our attention for a long time.
Before we go any further it is important that we grasp the spirit of these verses in relation to the whole of Scripture. For instance, when John speaks of the Dragon in Revelation 12, we know that he is speaking of Satan. We can also conclude that John in Chapter 12:1 is describing a Sign in the stars which will involve constellations Draco, Virgo, and Leo, plus the Sun, Moon, and 3 Planets. The 4 planets or wandering stars that match the Bethlehem Star Sign tell us that there is significant meaning to the Sign related to Jesus Christ. Is it about His Return?
This is where science comes in. The constellation Leo which is right next to the “head and shoulders” of Virgo has only 9 bright stars or lights and needs 3 other lights to make 12. Common sense tells us that John is not referring to all stars visible and invisible that are part of Leo, but only to those 9 that can be seen on a starry night. We celebrate the fact that God brings 3 planets (Mars, Mercury, and Venus) into the scene at the right moment and in the right place to total twelve lights. He brought Venus, the “bright morning star,” into conjunction with Jupiter 400 days earlier and directed them to parade across the solar system as they moved into the womb of Virgo. Jupiter signifies “Authority or Justice” and Venus the “Spirit of God or the High Priest.”
The symbolism is obvious for Jesus, born of the Virgin, is linked to both the Lion of Judah in the line of David, and to the “Morning Star” Venus. Jesus states, “I have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright morning star. “The morning star” may have also led the Magi in their quest. This will be revealed later in the book.
The study of the stars in ancient times was called the Mazzaroth (Zodiac) and required years of study to fully understand. They knew that God named the stars and that some stars were necessary for night navigation. The Mazzaroth calculates with accuracy the solar year by using charts of the constellations. Each of the 12 constellations correlates to an assigned month connected to the twelve tribes of Israel. To the ancient Hebrew, the Mazzaroth and movement of the stars was a calendar to determine harvest time and their cultural identity. The birth of Jesus was announced by movements in this star map. So, it makes sense that Jesus instructs us to watch for signs in the sun, moon, and stars. After all He created and named them for a reason. The leaders of Israel were blinded by power and greed and did not look up to see the Starry Sign above them. They stated that they did not “want any King but king Caesar.”
Astronomers all over the world, however, were awed by the 400-day conjunction of Venus and Jupiter that ended when Jupiter went into a nine-month retrograde motion inside the “womb” of Virgo while Venus moves on, eventually aligning itself with Mercury, Mars, and Regulus; all part of the Great Sign of Revelation 12. The bright morning star Venus heralded the beginning of the Sign. In a perfect alignment it joins Mars (the Son of God) and Mercury (the messenger or the Word of God) and together they point at Regulus which means “Royalty or King.” Could Venus represent the Spirit of God which guided Israel in the Wilderness? It is the Spirit of God that impregnates the Virgin Mary and gave birth to the Savior.
In about 700 BC, Isaiah proclaims this about the Lord’s birth, “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” Jesus, the bright morning star, bring eternal life, and remove the “shadow of death” which is our sin. Prior to the Great Sign, the 4 Blood Moons, appeared in a two-year span during Jewish High Holy Days. Many think that they reflect the blood sacrifice that Jesus made to pay for our sin, and that the world needs to repent and turn to Him for He shall soon Return.
As God’s Law or Truth exposes our sin, the blood that Christ shed for us replaces it. The blood moons which appeared on all four corners of the earth also draw attention to Jews in Israel and worldwide who are steeped in pagan rituals and live in gross sin with high abortion rates, gay rights celebrations, and pornography. The “Woman” in the Great Sign is Israel which flees into the wilderness for exactly 3 ½ years guided by Jesus who protects and restores her. It reflects back to Israel’s 40-year wilderness experience when the nation was judged. God appoints numbers such as 40 and 400 to remind us of His “appointed time” for testing. Yom Kippur was also an “appointed time” set up by God to atone for the nation’s sin. God will use numbers as markers to communicate His order and plan to fulfill His Promise.
- A 400-day journey of Venus across the Solar System to Virgo. Most of this journey happened soon after the 4th blood moon.
- The 2017 the Great Sign happened the day after Rosh Hashanah and at the beginning of the 10 Days of Awe, and 3) President Trump declared that he would move the American Embassy to Jerusalem “80 days” after this Great Sign appeared on September 23, 2017. Note, also that the Great Sign happened after 3 1/2 years after the first Blood Moon that happened on April 15, 2014. Is that God’s way of casting a shadow to remind us of the first 3 1/2 years of the 7 year Tribulation that will come quickly killing 1/4 of mankind.
- The Great Sign happened at the point of 3 amazing generational periods: the 50th year after the miracle 67 war that liberated Jerusalem; the 70th year after the war that delivered the nation of Israel in 1947; and the 100th year of the Balfour Agreement which promised the Jews a homeland; and the an additional epic change- the 500th year after the Ottoman empire conquered Jerusalem which happened the same year that Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis on the Chapel door in Wittenberg.
- The message of the Great Sign has been been confirmed by recent historical events such as the “Invisible agent” that attacked every level and sector of society affecting everyone in one way or another. Another Invisible agent was Satan who has compromised the values and stability of the family, democratic governments, and institutions worldwide. We are seeing the fabric of society being torn in two as evil is declared good and good evil. 7-years after the Great Sign we have seen Iran attack Israel for the first time and according to the Hebrew calendar we saw the barbaric event on Oct. 7th, 2023 that recalls Rachels cry for the children killed by Herod in Bethlehem. This is a event that has changed the dynamics of diplomacy and the moral compass worldwide. Evil is winning the hearts of the youth and Christianity along with virtue is being pushed back. For this reason alone God may soon decide to Return.
- Right now the Cosmos or the mid-heavens are being used to threaten the whole world. The U.S. and Japan tried to pass a resolution in the U.N. to prevent the use of nuclear weapons in space. Russia vetoed it. They recently launched a hyper-secret mobile satellite that many think may have a nuclear weapon like an EMP to knock out all our communications. Putin is very angry at Nato and the US for armng Ukraine and has little to lose by starting a nuclear war that he thinks Russia can win. Iran is also eager to obliterate Israel with a nuclear missile. And China is eager to conquer Taiwan. Biden appears very weak in the world scene and has not made a proper counter move against Chinese nor Russian aggression against our diplomats, our ciitizens here in America, and our businesses overseas.

Just as God used the Prophet Daniel’s prophetic scrolls, and heavenly lights to point to Christ’s first coming, does it not make sense that He will again use Daniel and the Heavenly Lights? He gave us the Great Sign of Revelation 12 which showed Saturn moving in retrograde motion for over 9 months in the womb of Virgo and then gave us three planets -Mars, Mercury and Venus aligning in perfect arrow- formation at the great star Regulus which sits at the “heart of the constellation Leo.” Before this He had both Venus and Jupiter travel in conjunction across the solar system for exactly 400 days. He also gave us the four Blood moons and 2 Solar Eclipses, a Virgin with child, a Dragon with a Lion, and the comet titled P67 to make his point clear. However, knowing how “blind religious leaders” were blinded then and now, God added important information from the Genesis Record and its divine Pattern, along with Daniel’s 70 week’s warning and many historical markers to point to His next coming? An example is the formation of the nation of Israel.
Dr. Hofmann will help you unravel the puzzle of the ages and see how carefully God unfolds history linking his Return to a sequence of time that will surprise you. In the center is the birth of Jesus Christ, a mistake made in the annals of history, the Great Sign of Revelation 12, God’s city Jerusalem, the mystery of sevens and eights, and the divine connection of Festivals and Generations. God has given us this warning beacon to draw us to Him before it is too late. He wants us to help Rescue others before it is too late.
The Bible has many mysteries, but the greatest combination lies in Chapter 12 of the book of Revelation. Although confused scholars have chosen to cast it and the book of Revelation in the dust bin of “ancient history,” Jesus Christ declares that there is a special blessing for anyone today who reads it, hears it, or understands it, and a curse to anyone who changes it or adds to it. Why? Because God knows it has the key that leads us to Him and to His game plan.
Revelation 12 is anchored in the birth of both Christ and the nation of Israel linking it all to another Sign- the casting out of Satan and his angels from Heaven. It stands as a warning to all mankind for Satan is furious because he now knows that he has just a “short time.” The only thing protecting the world right now is the Church and the Holy Spirit in believers. By putting the Great Sign in the middle of His Revelation and not in chronological order, God is trying to warn us of this special purpose.
God motivated and inspired Dr. Hofmann to share this because the Tribulation period is fast approaching. He gave Dr. Hofmann the vision of a great technicolor scroll opening up the sky with Hebrew letters and showed him that it was not a dream by dividing it into 3 scrolls—each in a Primary color – and bringing them together again. Things are not going back to normal as Satan’s dark pyramid with its principalities of evil is growing by the hour with the help of AI and well crafted lies like global warming. Well-known corporations and lesser-known entities involved in wickedness are under the spell. The horribly evil invasion on October 7th and Iran’s first attack against Israel on April 14, along with the irrational celebration at our centers of learning that followed, point to an acceleration of this wickedness. Everything in the first book of this series came true including the invisible invasion of Covid and its effect on every level and sector of society. God’s time table is set and He wants the world to know the truth and to seek Him with open hearts before it is too late.
