Another Sign In The Heavens As U.S. and Israel Gear Up For Peace Plan



Nearly five years ago the Christian community looked up in wonder as the first in a series of blood-red moons falling on biblical festivals dimly lit the night sky.  Many wondered what this was leading to.  A number of other significant lunar and solar eclipses have since transpired, as well as a series of conjunctions closely mirroring what occurred in the lead up to Christ's birth, and, most amazingly, an astronomical alignment appeared that perfectly matched the description given in the first two verses of the twelfth chapter of Revelation.  And the signs have only continued.  A little over one year after the Revelation 12:1–2 alignment, the rarely spectacular Draconids meteor shower came to life raining down hundreds of shooting stars per hour.  A plausible explanation for the sign aspect of Revelation 12:3–4 was witnessed by many.

And now, in just two weeks, there appears to be a significant confluence of heavenly signs: a blood moon (total lunar eclipse) over the entire Western Hemisphere, immediately followed by a close conjunction of Jupiter and Venus—the two planets that have played a central role in this entire cosmic story, representing Christ and His Church.  For those in the United States, the eclipse will be visible Sunday evening, January 20th, but anyone east will see it in the very early morning of January 21st.  The Jupiter-Venus conjunction will be visible on Tuesday, January 22nd.

Everyone in North and South America, Europe, and West Africa will be able to witness the entirety of the total phase of the eclipse.  Intriguingly, Israel misses the total eclipse phase by mere miles.  So this blood moon, passing over our heads, is apparently intended for the Gentiles.

Speaking of passing over, it looks like the Trump-Kushner peace plan may now be unveiled on, or right around Passover.  With Israeli elections now slated for April 9th, the Trump Administration seems hesitant to release the plan prematurely, potentially endangering its chance for success, so they have delayed it "several months" (in other words, until shortly after the elections).

This year Good Friday and Jewish Passover both fall on April 19th, ten days after Israeli elections.  If Netanyahu secures enough Likud seats to form a governing coalition, Trump will no doubt be eager to reveal the plan.  In fact, there have even been some reports that Trump encouraged Netanyahu to campaign on the peace plan ("Vote for me, I'll offer you peace and security!").

We can certainly see how the U.S. and Israel are gearing up for some big announcements (and major changes) to the status quo.  Just yesterday, National Security Adviser John Bolton toured the tunnels beneath the Temple Mount and Western Wall:


And Prime Minister Netanyahu will apparently be making a major, televised announcement tonight regarding his burgeoning legal troubles, so stay tuned.

If you think of the Bible's prophecies of the end of the age like a birthday cake, the cake has already been mixed, baked, and set.  The icing is even on.  All that remains are the sprinkles and candles.  There are just a few finishing touches, whatever those minute details may be.

Every few years there is a back-to-back sequence of total lunar eclipses, these are what constitute tetrads and triads (four and three total lunar eclipses in a row, respectively).  The last tetrad occurred in 2014 to 2015, and the blood moons fell on Passover - Tabernacles - Passover - Tabernacles.  This month's blood moon is the last blood moon of a triad.  In fact it's the last blood moon until mid-2021.  With two and a half years until the next one, it almost seems like a bookend of sorts.  And sandwiched between the 2014–15 tetrad and the 2018–19 triad was the Revelation 12 Sign, which points to our soon departure and the near-arrival of the Day of the LORD.

Addendum: A Church-Snatching Conjunction

After watching an intriguing video from Ty Green about the upcoming Jupiter-Venus conjunction, I thought it worthwhile to share with you that this conjunction paints a pretty compelling picture of the rapture.

Recall that Jupiter (representing the Body of Christ) was in Virgo's womb for the exact length of human gestation and then came out.  Virgo is the only constellation of a virgin and the only constellation along the ecliptic of a woman (thus the only candidate for Revelation 12:1–2 in the sky).

Think back to the potential Revelation 12:3–4 sign on October 8th of this year when, to many observers, it appeared that one-third of the visible stars of the sky fell to earth along the path of the dragon.


Just below the seven heads of Serpens (#1 in the image above) is the claw of Scorpius in which Jupiter (again, representing the Church) is currently bound.

Now, just as Virgo is the only constellation in the sky that can represent the woman of Revelation 12, so Libra, just below her feet, is the only constellation that can be unequivocally associated with the Throne Room of God.  Why?  Because the ancient depictions of Libra were not scales, but an altar (see here).  And in the Book of Revelation, the heavenly altar is located immediately in front of the Throne of God (Rev. 8:3) in Heaven.

Now get this: after the October alignment this year, Venus traveled to Virgo (Israel) and remained there for a bit.  After having a rare conjunction with Spica (the "seed"), Venus then leaves Virgo, traveling to Libra (the altar in Heaven).  Compare this to:

Therefore Israel will be abandoned until she who is in labor has given birth; then the rest of His brothers will return to the children of Israel.
- Micah 5:3


And the important prophecy that the New Testament writers picked up on in which it is said God would take a people out of the Gentiles to Himself, to make the unbelieving nation of Israel jealous:

They made me jealous by what is no god and angered me with their worthless idols. I will make them envious by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.
- Deuteronomy 32:21


And finally Christ's ascension when He literally left Israel from the Mount of Olives and was taken up to Heaven:

After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.  They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.  'Men of Galilee,' they said, 'why do you stand here looking into the sky?  This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.'
- Acts 1:9–11


What happens next?  Venus leaves Libra (the heavenly altar) and travels down the ecliptic until it conjuncts with Jupiter near the claw of Scorpius, just below the seven heads of Serpens, on January 21–22, around the time of the Super Blood Moon.  After being rescued by Venus, Jupiter is now past the seven heads of Serpens and out of the clutches of Scorpius for the next near-decade, returning to Virgo (Israel) in 2028 at the same time Venus returns to Leo.

And so we now may have a complete picture.  But remember, these are signs of the nearness of events, not necessarily the events themselves.

      19 So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses' bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.

  3. A timely and important article Gary!

    Well done!!


    SOME THOUGHTS & HINDSIGHT

    In three (3) days Jonah emerged from the fish. In three (3) days Jesus rose from the grave. In (3) days Saul came out of darkness. If days were years, Jonah, Jesus and Saul were each subject to three (3) *symbolic* increments of time.

    How long is this time?

    One interpretation may be found in, "time, times and half a time," as found in (Daniel 7:25), (Revelation 12:14) and further alluded to in (Daniel 4:16, 5:25, 9:27). The prophets understood a year as 360 days. God created the sun to mark the seasons and years. He made the moon to mark the days. There are 354.37 days in a lunar year (of 12 moons/months), and 365.24 days in a solar year; together they average 360 days.

    360-days (time) + 720 (times) + 180 (half-a-time) = 1,260-days

    If this logic were true then it would follow to multiply three times time or,

    3 X 360 = 1,080

    ...to derive a total number of days as in a time, times and half-a-time illustrated above. Apply this day count the second of the lunar tetrad that fell on Sukkot, 2014 and you land on the beginning of the Great Sign of Revelation 12/Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah/Shabbat Shuba, 2017.

    Interesting...

    Another interesting fact, the day, Saturday, September 23, 2017 was 726-minutes from sunrise to sunset. From the hour of the Winter Solstice, 2018 to the Super Blood Moon this month is 726-hours. The moon will be eclipsed five (5) hours.

    Look-up Strong's numbers for G726 and G5. They are "ἁρπάζω" (to seize, catch up, snatch away) and "Ἀββᾶ" (daddy/father).

    Interesting!

    I am in the process of planning a Star Party for the night of the eclipse. We'll have a pair of reflecting telescopes a fire pit, Bible reading and prayer. I can only imagine if it was a the night we went Home! The darkened moon and stillness of the night split by a blinding flash of brilliant white light from the east that jets to the west and the skies filled with Christ's own in an instant!

    There are too many empty seats on the Ark. Pray that the LORD sends more angels to deliver the message of salvation that even the tiniest root takes hold in the hearts of men, women and youth at are today lost that they too may embark with us on the coming of the Day!

    Share the good news that has been given to you! We call that your story. It is your testimony.

    Share well!

    1. No joke. If you average the solar and lunar (synodic) years it is almost exactly 360 days.

      I feel like a light bulb has just gone off.

      It always perplexed me about the solar vs. lunar calendars, but it seems the Bible is very aware of this difference.

      When the Bible refers to "years" it's often talking about actual solar years complete with four seasons.

      When it refers to "times" it seems to be talking about a period of 360 days. Daniel and Revelation clearly refer to 360-day times/years, but what's curious is that Genesis, at least in the account of the Flood, seems to speak of 360-day years, as well.

    2. Yes, Richard, we must boldly speak truth to all that they may be able to “escape all that is about to happen and... be able to stand before the Son of Man” (Luke 21:36). Note that only Christians will be before the Lord at His (imminent!) Bema seat, and as He warned, many who call Him “Lord, Lord” at that time will NOT be part of the blessed and holy ones who enter into His Millennial Kingdom to reign with Him one thousand years BEFORE the majority of Christians are resurrected on the last day (study Matt. 7:21-23, 5:20-22, 6:1-4; Luke 14:14, 20:35; John 6:39-40; Rev. 20:4-6, 11-15).

      For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good OR BAD. Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. (2 Cor. 5:10 emphasis added)

      if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us. (2 Tim. 2:12)

      To the angel of the church in Sardis write:
      These are the words of the One who holds the sevenfold Spirits of God and the seven stars.
      I know your deeds; you have a reputation for being alive, yet you are dead. Wake up and strengthen what remains, which was about to die; for I have found your deeds incomplete in the sight of My God. Remember, then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you. [These Christians will be left behind to endure the “hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth” and will miss the first-fruits pre-Trib rapture of the obedient and patient co-sufferers with Christ of Philadelphian character (Rev. 3:10)]
      But you do have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments [like the members of the churches of Philadelphia AND Thessalonica (see 2 Thess. 1:3-5)] and because they are worthy, they will walk with Me in white. Like them, the one who is victorious will be dressed in white. And I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but I will confess his name before My Father and His angels.He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (Rev. 3:1-6)

      The Christians with soiled garments must wash them and make them white during the tribulation:

      After this I looked and saw a multitude too large to count, from every nation and tribe and people and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands...
      Then one of the elders addressed me: “These in white robes,” he asked, “who are they, and where have they come from?”
      “Sir,” I answered, “you know.”
      So he replied, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. (Rev. 7:9,13-14)

      They are the believers who will “escape through the flames” after their works will be burned up at the Bema seat, as taught by the apostle to the Gentiles in 1 Cor. 3:12-15...

      For lists of many more Scriptures for the Bereans to study for hours on end on this vital matter (to overthrow the strongholds of the false doctrine of a single pre-Trib rapture of the Church), see “Overview and Scriptures for Self-Study” in https://thelordiswithus.com/resurrection-rapture-judgment-and-millennium/ The time is VERY NEAR, and many sleeping Sardians need to hear our trumpet call (see Ez. 33:1-6).

      Much love in Christ to all,
      your sister deanna

    3. Indeed, time seems short. So hard it can be to keep your focus and not strive in your own strength. So much better it is for us when we let go and let God.

    4. Oh, all who believe on Christ are most assuredly raised at the last day to be part of the new Jerusalem. Studying ALL the Scriptures provided in the outline reveals truths He graciously reveals as we dig in as per Prov. 2:1-6 and Prob. 25:2. The seemingly conflicting (but not actually!) truths our Lord spoke in Matt. 7:21-23 and John 6:39-40, and the seemingly conflicting (but not actually!) of Eph. 2:8-10 (not the works we are required to do in accordance with His indwelling Spirit) and James 2:17-26 ARE reconciled when we wisely humble ourselves and prioritize re-studying all these blessed words of God!

    7. Stan: No, it’s not a single rapture, and Christ IS coming in judgment / for His first fruits VERY VERY SOON!!

      Richard, Gary, and all others the Lord has reading this:

      Actually, Ephesians 2:8-10 is another good place from which to start mining for treasure:

      8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
      9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
      10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. (Eph. 2:8-10 ESV)

      All who believe upon Christ - from serial killers who repent and are born again on their deathbed, to Christians who come to backslide or even deny Him, to apostles with great righteous works such as Peter, John, and Paul - are saved simply by our faith in our blessed Savior (NO works involved); ALL will be raised to eternal life on the last day.

      Those Christians whose lifetime of Holy Spirit-led and empowered WORKS/DEEDS endure the baptism of fire from Christ at His Bema seat - such as Paul, who obediently shared in Christ’s sufferings and always pressed on to win the prize of this “out-resurrection” fro the dead (Phil. 3:10-14; 1 Cor. 9:24-27 through 1 Cor. 10:12) - will receive a 1,000 year EARLY ENTRY into eternity with Him (2 Peter 1:10-11): this is the First Resurrection of Rev. 20:4-6, the “better resurrection” of Heb. 11:35b, the “repayment” of “the resurrection of the righteous” of Luke 14:14, and the resurrection from the dead for “those who are considered worthy” in Luke 20:35! The Scriptures make clear these works/deeds we are called to do (Eph. 2:10) MUST be led and empowered by the Spirit of God Himself within us.

      So tying this in with what I shared in the comments on the “2018” article and others before that: writers and many commentators of this site have NOT been properly applying Christ’s words of warning of insufficient works/deeds to His CHURCHES in Rev. Chs. 2 and 3! He really IS warning all His churches throughout the Church Age - not Jews, or Trib saints, or....

      Christ’s warnings of insufficient deeds therein pertain not to eternal salvation (which is by grace through faith in Him without works), but to entering into His Millennial kingdom as part of the prized first resurrection. Same as with His warnings to His disciples in His sermon on the mount (Matt. 5-7), and when preparing them to preach the kingdom, heal the sick, and cast our demons in Matt. 10. Please make time reread these chapters as soon as possible. It’s truly exciting when the dots are connected, and God’s glorious TRUTH comes forth with a new clarity!

      The flesh detests Christ’s accountability teachings - so many false doctrines arise to keep us from apprehending them! (History shows this accountability teaching was understood in the first two centuries before corruption/leaven came in...)

      Blessings are assured to all who heed His call to dig into His words and then, led by and empowered by His Holy Spirit, go forth and wake up those sleeping Sardians!!

    9. Dear Annabel, it’s GOD’S WORDS I’ve always been pointing you to. Please deny self (not Christ), humble yourself and re-study them. Love you!

    10. Deanna, respectfully, please have the humility to realize you may be mistaken (and I believe you are on your partial-rapture view). We can agree to disagree and do so lovingly and without disparaging one another. I don't agree with how you're handling Scripture on this topic and could go point by point, and may do so at another time (or with a whole article), but I've covered a lot of this in great detail before.

      Suffice to say a few points:

      1. Partial-rapture = pseudo-Sola Fide. Salvation isn't just of the dead human spirit, but of the whole man - spirit, body, and soul. God saves all three by His grace through Christ's atoning sacrifice and the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit. The resurrection/rapture of the whole Church is a work of God's grace just as much as spiritual justification.

      2. I noticed you brought up the Rev. 7 multitude having had their robes washed. Interestingly, you left out what they are washed with: the blood of the Lamb. Not their own works/deeds/fill in the blank (see Rev. 7:14).

      3. The Church is a distinct entity of Jews + Gentiles. The Body of Christ will NOT be divided.

      4. The Trib Saints (Rev. 7 multitude) come back to life to reign for 1,000 years, not at the end (see Rev. 20:4).

      5. John himself defines overcoming as having faith in Christ (NOT works). Thus all the promises to the churches are wrought by genuine saving faith in Christ and not deeds (done in the flesh).

      6. The second resurrection you speak of only pertains to works (see Rev. 20:12-13). Those resurrected to face that judgment are judged according to their deeds per a plain reading of the text.

      7. The resurrection/rapture of the Church is not a reward given for deeds done in righteousness, but a gift of physical salvation to all who believe. It is when the salvation of the Church is finally completed.

      8. The Bema Seat judgment, separate from the Rev. 20 GWT, is exclusively for Christians and occurs after the rapture. We see the 24 elders already rewarded and seated before the seals of the DoTL begin to open. Your timeline simply doesn't fit with Scripture.

      Partial-rapture is pseudo-salvation, partial-grace, pseudo-Sola Fide. It's a doctrine for those living in the flesh. It fundamentally misunderstands 1. Who saves, 2. the extent to which HE saves, 3. What the Church is, 4. What is promised to the Church, 5. How those promises are applied to the Church, 6. Rewards vs. salvation, 7. The connection between justification, sanctification, and glorification and who is responsible for each, 8. The plain eschatological timeline given in Revelation and when particular resurrections occur, 9. The message of sola fide in the gospels, John's epistles, and Revelation (that is so often missed), 10. The context and writing style of the New Testament's authors, 11. The harvest cycle, 12. et al.

      Again, we can agree to disagree and I respect your right to your view which you passionately hold, but I won't be persuaded to abandon the full measure of grace that I've been given and I won't easily let of any of these little lambs that I've been entrusted with fall for the life, works, and spirit-wrecking doctrine that is partial-rapture.

      Delete
    11. Gary, please have the humility to re-study God’s actual word on this vital matter instead of defending doctrine and yourself.

      From Heb 3 is yet another pertinent warning for ALL who have not yet committed themselves to re-studying His word on this matter:

      7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,

      “Today, if you hear his voice,
      8do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
      on the day of testing in the wilderness,
      9where your fathers put me to the test
      and saw my works for forty years.
      10Therefore I was provoked with that generation,
      and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart;
      they have not known my ways.’
      11As I swore in my wrath,
      ‘They shall not enter my rest.’”

      12Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15As it is said,

      “Today, if you hear his voice,
      do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

      16For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19So we see that they were unable to enter because of their unbelief.

      Christ’s Millennial Kingdom IS that Sabbath-rest of God! PLEASE wake up the sleeping Sardians and call as many into it as possible - TIME IS SO VERY VERY SHORT!

    12. Deanna's reply to Gary's very straightforward and loving rebuttal of her false Doctrine is a good example of how when somebody falls into deception, there is nothing that you can say or do to talk them out of it. Only the Holy Spirit can give the Insight needed for those people like Deanna or people that believe in Flat Earth for instance. The nature of deception is that it makes no sense in any aspect and every aspect of their lives. It completely blinds and hardens the person to the truth.

      Delete
    13. I have no doubt that Deanna has "studied", per se, the scriptures. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, she has been lead down the wrong path into false Doctrine. What I see time and time and time again is people that are entrenched in false Doctrine accuse others of not knowing the scriptures and try to persuade them to go back and restudy like we haven't studied for ourselves. It's disgusting and arrogant and I really hate that kind of arrogance.
      Another thing I noticed is that when people are trying to teach their false Doctrine, they stand alone against hundreds and thousands of others that are trying to defend the truth of the word as the rest of us know it to be.
      There are times when the majority is wrong, for instance, the Revelation 12 sign, the majority of the church was asleep to that truth, but people that are standing alone don't seem to have the humility to listen to anybody else.

      Delete
    14. Another thing these people that teach their false doctrines love to do is Twist scripture.
      You think by quoting scripture they are going directly to the word of God, but they are only deceiving themselves.

      Delete
    15. “when people are trying to teach their false Doctrine, they stand alone against hundreds and thousands of others that are trying to defend the truth of the word as the rest of us know it to be” The Pharisees’ opinion when the Word was in their midst!

      Judgment Day IS imminent; opinions won’t matter then, only the extent to which believers’ lives are aligned with Christ’s words.

    16. Gary,
      Thank you for your excellent defense of God's grace and mercy.
      If my rescue in the rapture is based on my works, how can I ever know when I am safe? Have I done enough? Have my sins cancelled my works? What do I need to do to "pay" for my sins so I can earn my way home? Where is the guidance in scripture for what is enough? At least the law gives specifics about what is required - where is the same guidance for the rapture?
      Another thing I wonder about. If there is a partial rapture, who then is the restrainer? It can't be the Holy Spirit because the believers left behind will still be indwelt or they weren't truly saved.
      I am a common sinner, as common as they come, but I am refreshed every day because God's mercies are new every morning.
      I am so ready to go home.

      Delete
    17. Your rescue in the rapture is solely based on your acceptance of Jesus blood paying for your sins when He died on the cross. If you accept him paying your sin debt, you are saved and will be raptured. Works do not save you or allow you to be raptured.

      Delete
    18. I feel led to take an opportunity to add my own personal testimony (regarding partial rapture theory) to this discussion thread. About 5 years ago I set out to re-examine piece by piece every "doctrine" I had been taught since childhood and beyond. I was given personal experience by Holy Spirit some of the teachings I grew up with, ceasing of signs and wonders at the inception of the final canon, were incorrect. Therefore, I thought it wise to re-examine everything I thought I knew. I grew up understanding Faith Alone in Christ Alone, but the "works" gospel was then, as it is now, everywhere and I elected to study assiduously to affirm what I thought I knew. I also had been taught a Pre-Tribulation Rapture and that had to be tested as well. Both teachings were correct and I stand solidly with them today, knowing now they are "MY BELIEFS", not something given to me by one other than Holy Spirit. In that process I spent several weeks, as I studied the works doctrine which always goes hand in hand with partial rapture in my experience, and those weeks were some of the most miserable and fearful of my life. Holy Spirit took the opportunity to show me, not only through the Word, but experientially how miserable depending upon myself and my works to be saved and or raptured would be. No, I was not an intentional or vile sinner involved in human trafficking and the like, but merely a human being with wrong responses to some people, a temper, selfish and had wasted much of my Christian Life being a bench warmer. I was miserable above all things, crying out to God in repentance and continually explaining to Him what a horrible failure I was, praying to be forgiven and allowed to go home with Him in death or in the Rapture. I saw clearly I HAD NO HOPE - try as I might. I did not measure up in my own sight, let alone a Holy and Just God. It was His simple question whispered to my spirit in one night of walking through the dark, peering at the sky and pleading how horrible I was when I heard clearly, in my Spirit, "So, you do not believe I did my job?" I stumbled, sputtered, apologized and feel down in gratitude as I saw it clearly - it wasn't about me. I was questioning HIS SUFFICIENCY!

      I would never wish that experience on anyone, but it did give me an eternal, ongoing gratitude for the truth of what Jesus did for me and His atoning sacrifice on my behalf. I would not take anything for the experience, but I surely would not want to go back to that misery and wretchedness. The thing I found most astonishing, in hindsight, is those who teach works doctrine for maintaining salvation and its kissing cousin The Partial Rapture are always pointing at others as unworthy and not having merited their continued Salvation or the ability to go in the initial Rapture. They, themselves, are absolutely certain they are worthy, have merited the first air-ship out and will be welcomed with crowns and adoration. Unbelievable!

      There is great agony and error down the works road. I find it much easier to encourage people to never do what I have done than to tell them how perfectly I have always had it all figured out. The more I learn, the more I realize how very little I know. Blessings to all this beloved family! Sherry

    19. Wow, what a testimony. I've had similar experiences, especially when "walking on the water" towards the truth of God and reevaluating long-held beliefs. Walking in faith can make one tremble, but if you've never trembled, you've never walked in faith. And I know to where I'm going and the Way to get there.

    21. Yes thank you Sherry, a lovely reminder and confirmation that OSAS is the correct Doctrine, And that when that Trumpet blasts, ALL THE BODY will be going at the same time. not partially, but every major and minor organ, every finger and finger nail we are all going together.

      I have been seeing 911 and 119 (and also 311 and 113) a lot recently. My thinking about that is obviously rapture very soon for the 311 (Rev 3:11) . RE: the 911, my thoughts are as following:

      #1 many YTC channels such as "The Exalted Lamb" and "JKBugout" have been feeling that a 2nd 911 event is due any day now, Could a 2nd 911 event happen on the 19 of Jan?

      #2 119 being 911 in reverse.
      119 could equal 1.19
      1.19 could equal Jan 19th

      Our LORD comes soon for sure. Stay strong.

    22. Heard a great analogy about salvation by faith vs. works: Imagine all believers are standing side by side and are asked to jump as high as they can to try to jump to the moon. You may be able to jump 8 inches and I might manage 6 inches, but we’re both still thousands and thousands of miles from the moon (God’s righteous standard). The only One who can jump “to the moon” is Jesus and the only way we’ll get there is to hop on His back.

    1. This is just my personal opinion and subject to studies I have not yet undertaken, but I wonder if the AC is outwardly a Jew and thus acceptable as a trusted authority to the Israeli government and religious authorities. Judas Iscariot was a type of the AC and part of the inner circle of the 12. This is one reason why I suspect that the AC will be part of the inner circle of political and economic power brokers that Israel will believe trustworthy.

      Not naming names as I feel that as not appropriate. But we do know that a Satanic spirit will be behind the one(s) who make the covenant under false pretences. Like Herod before him, this "instead-of" messiah will bring death and destruction (through his proxies) for the purpose of furthering his cause and his installation in the temple as a living god. That/those individual(s) are almost certainly here NOW and going about their business right before our eyes.

      He will be a great manipulator. One who is well spoken and politically, socially and economically savvy -- even physically attractive or desirable in certain ways. One adept to gaining influence through trust such that others do his dirty work.

      His is a voice we will NOT know! We know the voice of our Master. His is NOT it.

      Just a thought...

    2. I agree, I believe the AC will be Jewish, claim it at least, and sway the Jewish people, possibly even lying about his lineage (maybe saying He comes from King David). It's going to be a huge theatrical performance.

    4. Hello Steve. Again, the flesh resists Christ’s accountability teaching! Recall Luke 6:22-23,26 -

      22Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man. 23Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.... 26Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.

      Now read this warning from Hebrews 10:26-31 perhaps in a new light:

      26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. [These enemies are believers.] 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” 31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Heb. 10:26-31, comment added)

      For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. (2 Cor. 5:10)

      In Christ’s love and in obedience to Him, I speak and write what He gives me - He who sent me is always with me...

    5. Deanna, exactly what is the "deliberate sin" that Paul is talking about in Hebrews 10:26? Let the Bible interpret the Bible, keep in mind that the answer to this is in Hebrews 10 itself. In Paul's writing style he always refers to topics and concepts that he has already previously tabled. To ignore this and thus misinterpret any verse is to take the Word out of context. Take the "text" out of "context" and all you are left with is a "con". I await your answer.

      Also I have another question for you to see if you understand context - Paul says that he does not allow a woman to teach a man. Then he turns around and says that under grace there is neither Jew not Greek not slave nor free nor male nor female...then he even installs women teachers over men...Dorcas, Phoebe, Priscilla, Juneia, Chloe. My question to you is - what is the correct context, why did Paul say he does not allow a woman to teach a man in the first place?

      Or...please explain to me the context around why Paul said women should cover their heads in worship?

      I am trying to understand your need to teach in light of how well you have studied, through which you must be first qualified and prove that you can rightly divide the Word.

      Delete
    7. Amen brother, it just goes to show how mixture of law and grace, aka hot and cold results in lukewarmness and people who mix law and grace are spewed out of Jesus' mouth - they in essence reject His work so He removes them because He is a gentleman. They're still saved but they cannot understand the basics, they regurgitate "spiritual milk"/baby food because the Holy Spirit will not testify to things that are untrue and will not impart His wisdom or His fruit, especially when people say that the finished work of Jesus was not enough, and spout foolishly that the law requires our failed works to complete them. Jesus finished everything at the cross and after the cross the requirements that Jesus placed upon legalistic people during His teachings in the gospels were fulfilled by Him during His life. He did not come to condemn but to fulfill.

      Take the context of 2 Corinthians for example, the entire book is centered around the Corinthians dividing between accepting the gospel of grace through Paul and the pre-cross Sermon on the Mount. During the entire book Paul advocates for the gospel of grace because the Sermon on the Mount requires perfect law keeping in order to fulfill the laws of God. In it Jesus was speaking to the Jews who presumed upon their own strength in their own assumed ability to keep the law. Jesus fulfilled, displayed, maintained the elevated and impossible standard of the law theoughout His own life. He demanded that those legalists fulfill the impossible standard themselves and showed them that they could not do it. Hence the need for a Saviour. Hence Jesus saying that we would do even greater things than He would. These "greater things" refer to preaching the gospel of grace given to Paul after Jesus ascended to the Gentiles. Hallelujah what an amazing Saviour!!!

    15. 3 Now the serpent was more crafty
      than any other beast of the field
      that the LORD God had made.

      He said to the woman, "Did God
      actually say, 'You shall not eat
      of any tree in the garden'?"

      (Genesis 3:1 ESV)


      These are the tricks of the enemy, crafty words, thoughts and ideas to question the basic tenants of what we know by faith to be true. We as the body of Christ have not been left her to our own devices to interpret the Word, we have been given a Teacher, the Holy Spirit.

      8 But you will receive power when the
      Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you
      will be my witness in Jerusalem and
      in all Judea and Samaria, and to the
      end of the earth."

      RED LETTERS (Acts 1:8 ESV)


      Confusion has again become the currency of our time. Just as it was for the Romans on the day our Lord was lifted up,

      37 Then Pilate said to him, "So you
      are a king?" Jesus answered,
      "You say that I am a king. For this
      purpose I was born and for this
      purpose I have come into the world --
      to bear witness to the truth.
      Everyone who is of the truth listens
      to my voice."

      38 Pilate said to him, "What is
      truth?"...


      We are not orphans. We are not left to confusion. We are given a hope and His name is Jesus,

      4 In him was life, and the life was
      the light of men.

      5 The light shines in the darkness,
      and the darkness has not overcome
      it.

      (John 1:4-5 ESV)


      12 But to all who did receive him,
      who believed in his name, he gave
      the right to become children of
      God,

      13 who were born, not of blood
      nor of the will of the flesh nor
      of the will of man, but of God.


      What then are we to believe? Believe with all of our heart, soul and might? (Deuteronomy 6:5 ESV) What is the work of God?

      29 Jesus answered them, "This is
      the work of God, that you believe
      in him whom he has sent."

      (John 6:29 ESV)


      ...and if we believe as such what must we do?

      9 ...if you confess with your mouth
      that Jesus is Lord and believe in
      your heart that God raised him from
      the dead, you will be saved.

      10 For with the heart one believes
      and is justified, and with the
      mouth one confesses and is saved.

      (Romans 10:9-10 ESV)


      "For with the heart one believes!" With that belief one is JUSTIFIED. Meaning, JUST as IF I never sinnED.

      11 For the Scripture says,
      "Everyone who believes in him
      will not be put to shame."

    16. Jesus Himself gives us this warning,

      16 "Beware of false prophets, who come to
      you in sheep's clothing but inwardly
      are ravenous wolves."

      20 "Thus you will recognize them by
      their fruits."

      (Matthew 7:15, 7:20 ESV)


      For it has already been raised in this space that, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."

      Read that verse in Matthew 7 from the beginning of chapter seven in complete context understanding the will of God and the work of God. Interesting it is how the chapter begins,

      1 "Judge not, that you be not judged.

      2 For with the judgment you pronounce
      you will be judged, and with the measure
      you use it will be measured to you.

      3 Why do you see the speck that is in
      your brother's eye, but do not notice
      the log that is in your own eye?

      4 Or how can you say to your brother,
      'Let me take the speck out of your
      eye,' when there is the log in your
      own eye?

      5 You hypocrite, first take the log
      out of your own eye, and then you
      will see clearly to take the speck
      out of your brother's eye."

      (Matthew 7:1-5 ESV)


      What is the dividing line between being put to shame and not being put to shame? What is the litmus test that defines the truth of our faith? What is the solid ground we stand upon? Where does our heart really live? Is it here below or above? Is it solid rock or sinking sand?

      22 "On that day many will say to me,
      'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy
      in your name, and cast out demons
      in your name, and do many mighty
      works in your name?'

      23 And then will I declare to them,
      'I never knew you; depart from me,
      you workers of lawlessness.'"

      (Matthew 7:22-23 ESV)


      For the work of lawlessness is the work of the flesh. Self-saving pride. The work of God is to "believe in him whom he has sent." (John 6:29 ESV) We are given POWER by the Holy Spirit that the light that shines in darkness dwells within every believer and the darkness shall never overcome it.

      This is the power of God in Christ. In Christ alone!

      The Holy Spirit is our Great Teacher. In Him we have the promise of redemption on deposit for the coming Day. Chosen as His bride to be caught-up from this place to the place prepared by Jesus Himself in the Father's house for us in truth and spirit...until His Glorious Second Coming when we arrive with Him from on the clouds to reign on earth 1,000-years.

      We are not alone. We are not given to live in darkness. His Holy deposit is enshrined in the heart of every confessing believer. The Holy of Holies fashioned of human flesh and wrapped in the heart of each of those whom He calls His children.

      We are not given to confusion. We are given to light and to life. But for those who are outwardly penitent but inwardly unrepentant? Thier's is a different lot for ONLY GOD can judge the heart of man. It is to each of us to encourage one another, admonishing with reverence to God in Christ in all humility to cling to Love and the life which it brings. For all of the Law is Love and the love of God is Christ Jesus.

      To God be all Glory through Christ Jesus our Lord, amen.

    19. Dear Pastor Richard Faulkner

      I came to this site nearly two years back regarding a rapture article.

      I am a believer who believes that I am saved only by the grace of God. All my righteousness are filthy rags and only by God’s righteousness given to me by Christ ‘s shed blood I stand righteous before God. Nevertheless I had always believed that sin is something that grieves the heart of God and if I truly love God I would keep away from sin.

      But after reading several articles and comments over here I found that the views over here said that sinning is not wrong as long as I had the right belief.

      This made me go into a very deep study of the Bible and never once in Scripture did I find words encouraging me to continue in sin. There are only admonitions to repent with a godly sorrow for the sins i commit.

      So even today I do not consider myself worthy apart from the grace of God and His righteousness. But I surrender myself to be led by the Spirit and to walk in the Spirit and not to walk in the flesh.

      I am nobody and my aim is not to judge anybody here dear Pastor.

      I am sorry if I have offended anyone.

    20. "But after reading several articles and comments over here I found that the views over here said that sinning is not wrong as long as I had the right belief."

      Respectfully, no one has said that here. Certainly not me or any on this team.

      Sinning is always wrong. But if we do sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ (1 Jn. 2:1). We should abstain from all sin and all ungodly conduct.

      However, much to the dismay of those whose faith is in themselves and not Christ, whether you sin in the flesh or not, your salvation is predicated on genuine faith in Christ's atoning sacrifice and not on your behavior.

      Delete
    21. Or to phrase that differently: we teach that sinning is always wrong, but if you have genuine faith in Christ and sin, you will still be saved. If we sin, does grace increase? Yes. But should we sin, so that grace will increase? No. Romans 6:1-2.

      For further study: 1 Jn. 1:8-2:2; Rom. 3:31; 6:14

      "And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just." - Romans 3:8

    22. Deanna,

      Quoting you,

      "The Scriptures you wrote are truth" == TRUE

      "Many other words of God (many which I have shared herein) you are presently choosing to ignore." == FALSE

      "Again, we are called to deny self and suffer with Christ as led by His Holy Spirit. The flesh always resists truth. Humbling ourselves like little children and obediently spending our time re-studying His word under the tutelage of the Holy Spirit is the Way to glorify God and bear His fruit. None enter into His Kingdom without humility and obedience." == PARTIAL TRUTH, THUS FALSE


      Rather would I have heard you say, among other things, "None enter into His Kingdom without [the] humility and obedience [provided by Jesus Christ Himself]."

      *My* humility and obedience is nothing but a rotten pile of filthy rags and in terms of *my* justification, is nothing in and of itself in the sight of the Almighty. Nobody can make themselves wholly through works. Works are a love response (ie, The Golden Rule) not a requirement of salvation.

      We are wholly saved through the Grace of God in Christ alone. I for one, do not do that which I do for the Kingdom of God for the purpose of gaining favours in Heaven before the Bema Seat. That is the line of thought that kept me out of the church for 30-years! I do it wholly unto the LORD and to His Glory, to the encouragement of the saints and the salvation of the lost.

      Now you know a little more of my heart. Let us be reasonable, but to these things I will speak to you no further for fear of entertaining a dividing spirit of confusion in this place.

      Grace and peace to you,


      Pastor Rich

      Please, do not be afraid to share your thoughts or feelings as long as they fall within the guidelines of this space and our faith.

      I for one apologize if I ever said anything to make one believe "that sinning is not wrong as long as I had the right belief." If anything I wrote in the past left that impression it was taken in the wrong way.

      I have never in my life intended or set out to espouse that kind of thinking. Gary speaks well of my feelings and beliefs on the matter above. Thank you Gary for sharing that...I could not have said it better myself.

You can not do enough good works to get back in to relationship with the Father. John 14:6 The gospel is simple, living it is hard. Don't add to the work of Christ and what he has done for us.

    As usual, LOVE the article.

    Also, if you put together what is shown on the following YT channels, you've really got something:

    "Rapture at Twilight"
    (her entire concept for years now revolves around a time of trouble/darkness (spiritual) commencing around Jan 20th/21st 2019, at which point the "betrayer" will arise/come into power)

    L LOTT
    (the video series "there's a message for us in the stars!", she shows some signs in heaven, the likes of which we have become familiar)

    Revelationchapter12dotcom
    (the few of the most recent videos regarding blood moons, etc)

    Blessed Hope Forever
    (his recent video about the coming blood moon)

    I'd estimate about 70 points of interest for why this could be an amazingly important time.

    Also, Trump's 2-year mark of his presidency.

  7. This Blood Moon occurs exactly 69 weeks after the Revelation 12 Great Sign. Exact, to the day if you count the Sign to have occurred 9/24 and not 9/23/17.

  8. In addition to my above post, you might be interested to know of these 2 vids... Especially the 35 year one..:

    YT : "Trump has been planning this for 35 years"

    YT : "60 years of Donald Trump predictive programming"

    In case anyone thinks it's a bit suspect that he's suddenly president instead of a real estate / business man; as well, in case anyone realizes that his negotiation of a peace plan is a bit suspicious in its nature and timing. (See the '35' video on YouTube)

    One lady in the comments section I believe even states that she has been pondering the idea that Trump's life began on a blood moon and will end on a blood moon. I have had similar ponderings.

  9. Just as we all begin to believe we can't possibly draw a deeper breath or things can't possibly become more intense than they have been over the past few months things suddenly become more real. The Peace that Passes All Understanding is present, while at the same time there's a knowing the corner has been turned . . . and we can only barely imagine what will occur between now and the moment we hear the voice "like a trumpet"! Thank you Gary, for keeping our eyes focused on Him! Blessings - Sherry

  10. THINK OF THIS.

    Revelation 9:16-18 New Life Version (NLV)
    16 The army had 200 million soldiers on horses. I heard them say how many there were.

    It is believed that if this is an actual Army, only CHINA can immediately summon 200M ARMY Today. That number is staggering.

    IN CASE YOU MISSED IT (ICYMI) China started to revive its ONE BELT, ONE ROAD Silk Road. An actual road from China all the way to EUROPE and even Middle East....A detour to Israel is NOT IMPOSSIBLE.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSGsqoI_0KM

    NOW - I always say that Artificial Intelligence, partnered with Blockchain and a new way to sell and buy - Crypto currency or Digital Payments will be the fulfillment of the Mark of the Beast.

    So, let us review the passage of Rev 13:16-18

    Revelation 13:16-18 King James Version (KJV)
    16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

    17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

    18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.


    When we translate WISDOM of verse 18 to GREEK - we See "SOPHIA / SOFIA" ....Hence the iconic SOPHIA representing ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and SINGULARITY.

    https://www.hansonrobotics.com/news-china-awards-belt-and-road-innovative-technology-ambassador-honor-to-sophia-the-robot/


    So, let us combine and review the two Chapters of REV 9 and REV 13....We see an army of 200M and SOPHIA (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE + Mark of the Beast System) in the very same ARTICLE.

    https://www.hansonrobotics.com/news-china-awards-belt-and-road-innovative-technology-ambassador-honor-to-sophia-the-robot/


    Also note that both verses are 16-18. ALSO, who are the KINGs of the EAST ?

  13. Gary's teaching is right on the mark. There is a difference between "enter vs inherit" the Kingdom (salvation vs sanctification) and there is a difference between "Guaranteed Son-ship Inheritance vs. Earned Reward Inheritance" which is based on Faithfulness after salvation. I do not see any scripture to indicate that the rapture is an "earned inheritance" but is a "son-ship inheritance" like receiving a resurrected body that is guaranteed to a believer at salvation (Philippians 1:6). I'm sure we will be debating this issue until the day we know how it is all going to work out and I don't want to cause anyone to fall away from pursuing the high calling in Christ Jesus ... I'm not taking my eye off my Blessed Hope. http://die2live.worthyofpraise.org/enter-vs-inherit-the-kingdom/

    1. Yes Roger, it is JUST THE SAME physical Perfektion / glorification for the LIVING remnant in Christ left on earth when church age ends as it it for the DEAD in Christ who passed away earlier. Neither of both groups has somehow "earned" his or her physical resurrection. But as the LIVING are not dead to have to "taste death" (compare the obvious misunderstanding in John 8:51-52!) at that time their bodies will TRANSFORM rather than the physical remains of the dead RESURRECT (1 Corinthians 15:35-52). As a natural human body cannot enter Heaven it is only logical that BOTH the dead AND the living have to be bodily glorified before. It is the SAME event but only for 2 different physical conditions. Blessings to you!

  14. My first thought upon reading Deanna's statement was "NO", and then Mark 4:15.
    I know that even as Christians that we do not all agree on every precept and tenant of our faith.
    And, that we are all at different levels of growth and understanding in our walk with Christ.
    The devil is a liar and a deceiver and will take any in he can get.
    Instead of us spending time spreading the Word of God in whatever manner we can,
    we're digressing from the original message (EXCITING!!!)
    and arguing among ourselves while the devil claps his hands in glee!
    While I'm always impressed with how Biblically astute so many of you are,
    sorry, but I've tried to argue facts with too many other Christians and have learned the hard way it rarely does any good.
    Instead, I have to swallow my pride (because I "know" I'm right!) and make myself stop and pray for them and ME with regard to rightly dividing and understanding.
    And for patience.
    It's difficult to know someone is spreading false doctrine, sadder still to know they actually believe it! But, just as it's difficult to watch what is happening in our country and around the world, God said it would happen in these last days and it is!
    Gary, again thank you for your dedicated scholarship.
    I'll be outside the night of the 20th watching.

  15. Wonderful article Gary, thank you! I was looking up the time frame for the Jupiter/Venus conjunction and noticed that it will take place in the constellation of Ophiuchus which represents a warrior fighting a serpent. The name Ophiucus means "the serpent bearer" in Greek and I just think it's so interesting how this all plays out in the sky between the last Blood Moon and then this upcoming conjunction. I love the articles here and many of the comments as well. Thank you for all your work on this article Gary, I truly appreciate being able to come here to Unsealed.org and learn so much from all of you. Blessed Be! :)

    3. Dear Richard, check out the latest video of #Jeff P YTC about another major breakdown of the lense array cover up system in space. You may get a glimpse of what kind of huge "thing" TPTB are trying to hide from sight. I assume every of these articles about some 'sudden discovery in space' is just one piece to a bigger truth that cannot be denied any longer and will soon be presented to the world in full sight (Luke 21:25-26) so meanwhile the ordinary public is being prepared to get this message soon but yet it is covered to avoid global panic.

      https://youtu.be/3kH95Vz5Frs

      When after the rapture the great delusion of 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 will begin, TPTB will be able to tell the public "We told you so" like in these kind of articles being then used to explain away the rapture and to twist truth again for whatever purposes (= alien deception). Such is my perspective on these things.

      Gary from @alittlestrength has done a good article about what is called "The Event" in the New Age movement.

      Moment UFO spotted by US Navy jet

      A video capturing an unidentified object flying off the coast of San Diego in 2004 has been released by the US Department of Defense.
      Source: CNN


      One may question if videos (like the one aired above) are real or fabrications? A hoax or something passed by because it is so far from explanation that no *comfortable* rationale is possible in the average human understanding.

      By itself it is hard to categorize this story. Taken as part of a whole? It makes for a potential piece of a puzzle that makes much more sense. The alien deception is too weird in and of itself. Trying to explain to a doubting populace that *aliens* are instead fallen angels?

      That takes the Holy Spirit to convict. I get weird looks just talking about it. (It is a topic I rarely speak of outside of friends who follow the likes of L A Marzulli).

    Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for appointed times and for days and years;


    Dear Brothers and Sisters, things are really URGENT. While reviewing the upcoming Blood moon on January 20-21, 2019, let us consider it is Tu B'Shevat , or the Festival of the Trees. Read Zech 1:7 and you will see that it happens in Tu B'Shevat...right about the same time in Jan 20-21 , 2019. BACKTRACK for LAST YEAR. During the Tu B'Shevat 2018, on JAN 31-FEB1 , SUPER BLOOD MOON Happened.

    SO THIS YEAR, Tu B'SHEVAT 2019 is ALSO HAVING SUPER BLOODMOON.

    READ ALONG ZECHARIAH, and you will see that it is about rebuilding what remains of JERUSALEM and THE TEMPLE to be REBUILT.

    WHAT ARE WE SEEING TODAY?

It is also called 'The New Year of the Trees' or (Hebrew: ראש השנה לאילנות, Rosh HaShanah La'Ilanot‎). Tu BiShvat is one of four 'New Years' mentioned in the Mishnah."


      OF MEN AND TREES

      The coming TLE on 1/20/19 will occur 730-days after the inauguration of 45. A quick look to Strong's G730 finds,

      Strong's Concordance G730
      arrén: male, man.
      Original Word: ἄρσην, ενος, εν
      Part of Speech: Adjective

      (H730) a cedar tree! (Leviticus 14:4 ESV) [just one many references]

      Coincidences?

      Hmmm....


      The TNK/Old Testament has many references to Cedar all of which are worthy of digging on!


      Quoting, Bible Study Tools: Cedar

      "The impressiveness of the cedar lies, however, not so much in its height and massive trunk, as in the wonderful lateral spread of its branches, which often exceeds its height. The branches grow out horizontally in successive tiers, each horizontal plane presenting, when looked at from above, the appearance of a green sward. The leaves are about an inch long, arranged in clusters; at first they are bright green, but they change with age to a deeper tint with a glaucous hue; the foliage is evergreen, the successive annual growths of leaves each lasting two years. The cones, 4 to 6 inches long, are oval or oblong-ovate, with a depression at times at the apex; they require two years to reach maturity and then, unlike other conifers, they remain attached to the tree, dropping out their scales bearing the seeds.

      The wood of the cedar, specially grown under the conditions of its natural habitat, is hard, close grained, and takes a high polish. It is full of resin (Psalms 92:14) which preserves it from rot and from worms. Cedar oil, a kind of turpentine extracted from the wood, was used in ancient times as a preservative for parchments and garments."


      DID YOU NOTICE? *ADDING EMPHASIS*

      The cones, 4 to 6 inches long, are oval or oblong-ovate, with a depression at times at the apex; they require *TWO YEARS TO REACH MATURITY* and then, unlike other conifers, they *REMAIN ATTACHED TO THE TREE*, dropping out their scales bearing the seeds.

      Two (2) years to reach maturity? Remain attached to the tree?


      Why does that remind me of the Gospel of John? Remember the woman at the well? How long was it that Jesus stayed with them in Samaria?

    2. ONE MORE DETAIL


      The Super Blood Moon that occurs on the eve of the New Year for Trees (Tu BiShvat) will occur after the 70th Sabbath since the beginning of the Great Sign of Revelation 12 and 726-hours after the Winter Solstice on 12/21 at 22:23 UTC.

      ...and if you don't know it by now,

      Strong's Concordance G726

      harpazó: to seize, catch up, snatch away
      Original Word: ἁρπάζω
      Part of Speech: Verb
      Transliteration: harpazó
      Phonetic Spelling: (har-pad'-zo)
      Definition: to seize, catch up, snatch away
      Usage: I seize, snatch, obtain by robbery.

      HELPS Word-studies

      726 harpázō – properly, seize by force; snatch up, suddenly and decisively – like someone seizing bounty (spoil, a prize); to take by an open display of force (i.e. not covertly or secretly).


      Again, another reference that points us directly to (Revelation 12:5 ESV).


      WANT WEIRD?!

      The Super Blood Moon will be five (5) hours in duration. Check-out Strong's G5,

      Strong's Concordance G5
      Abba: Abba, father

      Transliteration: Abba
      Phonetic Spelling: (ab-bah')
      Definition: Abba, father
      Usage: Abba, Father.

      HELPS Word-studies

      5 Abbá – "Father," also used as the term of tender endearment by a beloved child – i.e. in an affectionate, dependent relationship with their father; "daddy," "papa."


      Let's see, so far we have day/hour counts and concordance entries that point to,

      1. Revelation 12
      2. 12th month for the Gentiles (December)
      3. Verse 5 of Revelation 12 (the man-child is taken away)
      4. 5-hour eclipse (the light of the moon is taken away)
      5. (Revelation 12:5 ESV)


      Just as the moon reflects the sun, we the Church reflect the Son of God being Christ Jesus via His Holy Spirit. Are you catching my drift?

    4. AWESOME SHERRY!!!

      The rabbit hole deepens...a random find,

      Quoting, 11 amazing things you didn’t know about almonds

      "Israel’s almond trees are the first to bloom each year, coinciding with the Jewish holiday of Tu B’Shvat — the New Year for Trees"

      "The seven-branch menorah (candelabra) in the Holy Temple was meant to resemble an almond blossom as described in Exodus: 'Three cups, shaped like almond blossoms, were on one branch, with a knob and a flower; and three cups, shaped like almond blossoms, were on the other… on the candlestick itself were four cups, shaped like almond blossoms, with its knobs and flowers.'"


      Great study points. Thank you sister Sherry!

      Delete
    5. A PIN-POINT

      The Temple Menorah is a lamp of seven (7) candles. Looking only at the number of branches of the Temple Menorah, and counting Sabbaths from the beginning of the Great Sign and the coming Super Blood Moon, there are 430-Sabbaths (Ezekiel 4) from the beginning of the Revelation 12 sign to Hanukkah I, 2025 and 360-Sabbaths (length of a prophetic year) from the Super Blood Moon on the eve of Tu BiShvat upon which we may mark the first blooming trees in Israel. (The Almond tree)

      Most interestingly, these two Sabbath counts are *offset by 70-Sabbath days*. See Ezekiel's 430 Days for a very interesting read from Chuck Missler on the topic of 430/360/70.

      A study of Ezekiel 4 may be in order as well!

      Hmmm...so now we have a tie-in of Tu BiShvat, Almond trees, Cedar trees, the Temple Menorah, Hanukkah...not to mention more points in Scripture.

      Did I miss something?

      I know I did! The seven golden lampstands, seven angels, etc...have not even been mentioned as of yet. This space does not allow for me to go into the number seven sufficiently. (As if anything I could ever do would be sufficient to the Word). I don't believe we will never know the complete full depth and breadth of the mind of our Father...but what a Joy it is to search the depths of His heart!

    6. AN EXCELLENT FIND

      The Structure of the Menorah

      Quoting,

      "The almond tree is the first tree in Israel, which awakes from its winter sleep to life and blooms. Therefore, the white almond blossom is a symbol of life and purity. God paid attention to the details from the very beginning; for he commanded that every single almond blossom on the Menorah should consist of three parts, namely, the cups, buds and blossoms (petals). Together they are 3x22=66 single flower parts."

      I have not even begun to read through all of this site but recommend it for your consideration. Approach it prayerfully, I hope it is of benefit to you in your studies of Tu BiShvat, the budding Almond, the Temple Menorah and Hanukkah!

      All of this reminds me of the 1970's game show, "Password Plus!" [Rich now showing his age]

      "The following material is being presented here to give a more accurate understanding of the 430 years of Exodus 12:40, and the 400 years of Genesis 15:13, and the approximate number of years the Israelites were in slavery in Egypt."

      This site offers resources in calendaring and dating events. This page is specific to the 430-years of captivity of Israel...years which I believe may be parallel to the 430/360/70-Sabbath days I have found in my time line leading up to Hanukkah I, 2025.

      Again, offered for your personal and prayerful study. I am not affiliated with this website or its author. Just a visitor like you.

      Happy hunting,

  21. A PIN-POINT

    SpaceX just launched the last 10 of the Iridium NEXT telecommunications satellites into orbit today. The Falcon 9 rocket used to launch them was 70m in height. Iridium is a constellation of 66-satellites with nine (9) spares for a total of 75-satellites and deployed them at over 27,000-kph (being 3e3 or 3^3 depending on how you want to annotate it).

    Forgive me if I see the Lord's Hand in these things. Some interesting numbers!

    Congratulations to the SpaceX Team for another perfectly executed launch.

  22. I love reading through the comments almost as much as the articals themselves. I have to say I Gary I chuckled at your comment:

    "It always perplexed me about the solar vs. lunar calendars, but it seems the Bible is very aware of this difference."


    You are the first one to point out that God is in control of every little detail and that nothing is by accident. I firmly believe that too, but am amazed as well daily :) God Bless

  23. I'm not sure what the spiritual meaning is, but on Jan 22 Jupiter and Venus will have a conjunction in the constellation of Ophiuchus. A search on Ophiuchus, gave it a meaning of "serpent-bearer" and represents a man holding a serpent.

    1. Hi Xavier,

      Here are a few hints for you...and note that "stars" are most often representative of angels. The term "angel" simply means "messenger".

      16 In his right hand he held seven
      stars, from his mouth came a sharp
      two-edged sword, and his face was
      like the sun shining in full strength.

      20 As for the mystery of the seven
      stars that you saw in my right hand,
      and the seven golden lampstands, the
      seven stars are the angels of the
      seven churchs, and the seven lampstands
      are the seven churches.

      (Revelation 1:16, 1:20 ESV)


      25 Only hold fast what you have until
      I come.

      26 The one who conquers and who keeps
      my works until the end, to him I will
      give authority over the nations.

      27 and he will rule them with a rod
      of iron, as when earthen pots are
      broken in pieces, even as I myself
      have received authority from my
      Father.

      28 And I will give him the morning
      star.

      (Revelation 2:25-28 ESV)


      5 The one who conquers will be
      clothed thus in white garments,
      and I will never blot his name
      out of the book of life. I
      will confess his name before my
      Father and before his angels.

      (Revelation 3:5 ESV)


      10 Because you have kept my word
      about patient endurance, I will
      keep you from the hour of trial
      that is coming on the whole world,
      to try those who dwell on the
      earth.

      11 I am coming soon. Hold fast
      what you have, so that no one
      may seize your crown.

      12 The one who conquers, I will
      make him a pillar in the temple
      of my God. Never shall he go out
      of it, and I will write on him
      the name of my God, and the name
      of the city of my God , the new
      Jerusalem, which comes down from
      my God out of heaven, and my
      own new name.

      (Revelation 3:10-12 ESV)


      1 After this I looked, and behold,
      a door standing open in heaven!
      And the first voice, which I had
      heard speaking to me like a trumpet,
      said, "Come up here, and I will
      show you what must take place
      after this."

      2 At once I was in the Spirit,
      and behold, a throne stood in
      heaven, with one seated on the
      throne.

      3 And he who sat there had the
      appearance of jasper and carnelian,
      and around the throne was a
      rainbow that had the appearance
      of an emerald.

      4 Around the throne were twenty-
      four thrones, and seated on the
      thrones were twenty-four elders,
      clothed in white garments, with
      golden crowns on their heads.

      (Revelation 4:1-4 ESV)


      9 And whenever the living creatures
      give glory and honor and thanks to
      him who is seated on the throne,
      who lives forever and ever,

      10 the twenty-four elders fall down
      before him who is seated on the
      throne and worship him who lives
      forever and ever. They cast their
      crowns before the throne, saying,

      11 "Worthy are you, our Lord and
      God, to receive glory and honor
      and power, for you created all
      things, and by your will they
      existed and were created."

      (Revelation 4:9-11 ESV)


      She gave birth to a male child,
      one who is to rule all the nations
      with a rod of iron, but her child
      was caught up to God and his
      throne,

      (Revelation 12:5 ESV)


      Yes, on the morning of 1/22 just after 5:00 AM (EST) the bright morning star (Venus) will rise in conjunction with the king planet (Jupiter) which is also known as the symbolic male-child of the Great Sign of Revelation 12. (The male-child will be "given the morning star"). It is very interesting that Uranus (8th planet) and Mars (4th planet) will be in the cords of Pisces.

  24. Rather than simplistically counting occurrences of the word “church”, it’s far more sensible to mindfully pay attention to the context and follow the narrative of Revelation to see when Christians appear on earth, and when they appear in heaven, because after all, this transition is what the rapture is all about.

    Revelation strongly indicates that this transition occurs at the end of the great tribulation, immediately prior to the bowl judgments.

    1. Greetings, Chinese Christian. Perhaps some in the church, today, don't believe people can trust Christ for their salvation during the tribulation. Otherwise, I can't understand why tribulation saints would be assumed to be the same people as the church. The 24 elders present in the throne room and Christ dealing with the churches in the beginnning of Revelation, plus His promise to us in Rev. 3:10 are more instructive for me. Blessings.

    3. Hi family,

      Look at this video and article about a Japanese company working to create artificial meteor showers from the sky. Could this be connected to the tail of the dragon sweeping a third of the stars and sending them to earth? Or easily creating lying signs and wonders in the sky.

  25. Here we go again.why you keep lying about a pre rapture?The messiah comes first then 10 days after is the repentance and preparation for the wedding and 15 days after is the wedding.there is no wedding and 3 years or 7 years after the remaining fools will be saved.The Rapture is at the last day.there is NOWHERE in scripture a separation of the Wheat before the Tares.In fact they will grow together UNTIL THE END, and i tell you more, The tares is being cut off first and then the wheat is gathered in Yahuah's Barn.

  27. Maximum eclipse at 12:12am 1/21

    1/21/2019 or 121 & (2+0+1+9 = 12) at 12:12

    121121212

    You are not going to believe this but I had an impression to put the number 121121212 into a ternary converter. A ternary number is a number system based on 3 digits 0,1,2. Putting 121121212 into the ternary converter comes out to 12119--1/21/19!

    Harpazo!

    1. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!! That is most certainly interesting. Especially since this blood moon happens two years exactly into Trump's presidency. But not just that aspect of it, think about the fact that Trump's last name is Trump! Does that word ring a bell?

      "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the {TRUMP} of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord" (1 Thessalonians 4:16).

      God is all about the numbers. As we all know, the Bible contains a book called "Numbers." There may be something to what you are revealing here. Interesting indeed. May be a sign that it's going to happen soon. Now for that 64 thousand dollar question ... How soon?

      WHAAAAAAAAAT!!!!

    2. Not to nitpick too much, but being that the eclipse is over, and we're still here, perhaps that is meant to be 12/1/19?

      Delete
    3. Very possibly. AT the very least, a sign of the rapture soon to occur, whenever it will be. Certainly seems more likely if we can lean toward any date at all. I dunno. Signs, signs, everywhere a sign.

  31. AN OBSERVATION

    Lunar eclipses are given as a sign to Israel. I find it interesting that this event reached peak totality at 12:12 AM (Eastern). A check of Strong's (Hebrew) Concordance gives us this,

    Strong's Concordance (H1212)

    Betsalel: "in the shadow (protection) of El," two Israelites
    Original Word: בְּצַלְאֵל
    Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
    Transliteration: Betsalel
    Phonetic Spelling: (bets-al-ale')
    Definition: "in the shadow (protection) of El", two Israelites


    ALSO...

    Day count from the passing of Billy Graham (1/21/18) to the beginning of tonight's Super Blood Moon is 333-days or 11-months. Interesting fact given how many of us keep seeing the numbers 333 and 11 (or 1111) pop-up?


    19 The heavens declare the glory of God,
    and the sky above1 proclaims his handiwork.

    (Psalm 19:1 ESV)

  32. I believe in the rapture b4 the tribulation and not just because of all the verses pertaining to it but mainly everything in the Bible that has been and will b again. See verse as in the days of Noah will be as the son of Man coming. Bible has patterns and cycles as to Jewish feasts which come in certain order which is why I believe in rapture before the tribulation. Also verses that say we will b kept from wrath of God among others.

    1. There is a hidden Old Testament prophecy in 2 Kings 2:23-24 that drops a big, giant, filthy, foul, odorous, stinky, nasty and abhorrent pre-tribulation rapture stink bomb as well. I have an article on my site about it. Link below.
