and your agreement with hell shall not stand

Most would agree the pace has been picking up and we seem to be accelerating toward something not good in the world,

Today, with evil now working overtime in an attempt to divide Israel (Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria) when this event does occur, whether next month, next year or if it should take another 70 years, that whenever it does occur, it will be as prophesied, and allowed only under Gods timing, and it will bring with it a curse upon the world,

“The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.”  Isaiah 24:4

And specifically upon those nations directly responsible,

“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”  Zechariah 12:3

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”  Zechariah 12:9

Ancient Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar received world power for 70 years (25200 days) as the head of gold of the world empires, and his kingdom under Belshazzar was ‘weighed in the balances and found wanting’ with the handwriting on the wall (Daniel Chapter 5) this occurred all in relation to Gods plan for Israel, on Gods perfect timeline to fulfill the transgression, the 70 years Israel didn’t allow the land its required rest, the Holy Laws and Ordinances, the very structure had to be perfectly maintained with the the punitive measures enacted to allow for God to then insert himself into the world at the fulness of the timing of the 70 weeks as The Word made flesh, and then to be cutoff, but not for himself per Daniel Chapter 9.

” For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.”  Isaiah 34:8

When we wonder what specific events bring about the time of the end, it is my sincere belief that dividing Israel (restored from the sword) is at the very core, this is why the end comes when it does come, its why judgement comes upon the whole Earth. The transgressors have come to the full, God has kept his promise (Isaiah 11:11) the times within the Laws and Ordinances were being fulfilled, the diaspora was over, the land restored and then this world (system) of principalities and powers, will have undone this work in the physical Earth with lies and deceit, seeking to prevent the times and seasons from resolving with the Jubilee restoration of all things,

Jesus is retuning with vengeance,

“For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.”  Isaiah 63:4

Peter stated, that heaven must keep Jesus until the Jubilee,

“Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”  Acts 3:21

Its his inheritance that’s being bargained away with false promises, I believe its also why Satan is thrown out of heaven:

“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”  Revelation 12:7-9

Its a covenant with death, and God is going to annul it:

“And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.”  Isaiah 28:18

Its interesting to me that 70 years after the United States used the first Atomic bomb in war, August 6th, 1945, (a great sword was given) and came to world prominence that very day, its also exactly 25200 days or 70 years exactly to the 9th day of AV (August 5th) in 2014.

As many are aware, tish b’av has always been a day of darkness and mourning relating to Gods prophetic timetable, the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed both times on this day.

And now, as this nation in relation to supporting Israel physically restored since 1948, and then Jerusalem restored in 1967, (the two conditions Gabriel said were required to count the 70 weeks from recorded in Daniel 9) in the same manner time-wise (19 years apart) as were the three sieges of Nebuchadnezzar and the desolation. This world system, UN/USA  now begins to be a mechanism to undo that restoration and I cant help but wonder what may be coming if this division for a false peace and security (lies spoken at the table) is soon successful,

“And both of these kings’ hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.”  Daniel 11:27

And knowing that prophetic events often repeat in patterns,

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9

“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” Romans 14:4

and the year of my redeemed is come

The book of Job is about evidencing what faith is (to us), despite how everything and everyone in this world would have you believe something natural over what the spirit reveals, trust him always and he will bring you in,

Satan is able to stand in Heaven.  God gave Adam legal authority over the Earth, who in turn gave that authority to Satan. When the Earth or those in it are being discussed, Satan can stand in Heaven accusing those operating within his dominion (believers)

Jesus gave his bride authority to bind ‘principalities and powers’ on this Earth, (though how many and how often believers claim this authority is questionable) notwithstanding, Satan has legitimate authority on this physical Earth until the time of the end, and (I believe) until three very specific conditions are met and then violated by the nations under Satan’s influence,

1 – a – Israel restored, b – Jerusalem restored, together providing the two conditions in Daniel Chapter 9 to count the time (determined) 70 weeks or 490 years. 434 years were counted at the cross, 49 years were accepted by Jesus but rejected by Israel and instead brought the Gospel to us, it (and he) is the Jubilee, leaving 49 years (a Jubilee) and then the final seven years remaining which (today) we all hear so much about called ‘the tribulation’ (434 + 49 + 7 = 490 years)

2 – A Jubilee is acknowledged in Heaven following the conditions being met, (that is) met precisely per Leviticus Chapter 25: “when you come into the land that I shall give you.. “ then count seven times seven years (49 years) and only our Father in Heaven can know when this is acceptable,

3 – The Everlasting Covenant is broken, hindered, encumbered in some manner between this world and a restored Israel via an agreement, that is,  Israel is divided, Jerusalem is divided or both, the restoration is being undone, Satan is seeking to change the times and seasons, to extend his ownership outside the limiting Holy mechanisms of the Laws and Ordinances enacted on the Earth, the very Laws which provided for the coming of the Messiah and the punitive measures of the transgression, and then the second restoration itself,

Its the attempted undoing of that authority, the breaking of the ‘Everlasting Covenant’ (Isaiah Chapter 24) that brings the time of the end, this is what Jesus called the ‘Great Tribulation’ and it comes (I believe) as whats being adjudicated beginning in Revelation Chapter 4, where the “court will sit” (see also Daniel Chapter 7) and where Jesus takes the scroll (title deed) from the right hand of the Father.  Jesus assumes ownership over the Earth, as a man, fulfilling the Kinsman Redeemer provisions under the law.

Jesus as the second Adam, returning bodily when the fullness of time is reached (a Jubilee) coming again as the only one able to redeem from the rightful owner (God) the whole of creation, granted under the Law as a Kinsman of Adam (a man) see the Book of Ruth, Jesus is our Boaz, the Church is Ruth and Noami is Israel,

Jesus is taking authority using the very Laws and Ordinances which were implemented upon the physical Earth which allowed him to come in a Holy manner (in the flesh) then be rejected by Israel (flesh), that purchased the gentiles into the Kingdom of Heaven (Spirit) and then ultimately providing the same mechanism to redeem the physical creation during the restoration of all things, (the Jubilee)

Peter speaks of Jesus:

“Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”  Acts 3:21 (a Jubilee)

“For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.”  Isaiah 63:4  (a Jubilee)

Satan has access to Heaven until he attempts to break that restoration, which is tied to the physical land as much as it is to the people (Israel) following the (second) restoration under the very same Law that took them away as with a flood in 70 AD,

Israel at the time of the end will make a covenant with death, Satan is a liar and usurper, the Great Tribulation begins on the Earth soon after,

“And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; . .”  Isaiah 28:18

At this time the war in Heaven begins and Satan is thrown out (forever) by the Archangel Michael,

“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceive the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ:

“for the accuser of our brethren is cast down,

“which accused them before our God day and night.

“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”  Revelation 12:7-12

Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff

“And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:  . . ”  Daniel 9:26

62 weeks, 434 years,

It is commonly conjectured by most when outlining Daniels 70 weeks,  that 69 of those weeks (or 483 years) were fulfilled at the cross, leaving only the the final 70th week (7 years or 2520 days) to complete the 490 years determined upon Israel (see Daniel Chapter 9) where the count begins with the fulfillment of two very specific conditions:

1. upon Israel (thy people) and 2. upon Jerusalem (thy Holy city)

For which that future week of years is waiting only for some unknowable moment before it can continue,  waiting as if the interval in between has been stopped or halted in some manner,  and so today we have 2000 years unaccounted,

From my earliest understandings, I’ve found the idea of the prophetic ‘clock’ being stopped to be wrong.  And after numbering the days (per Psalm 90) and considering the ‘times and seasons’ and counting the intervals between significant related events:  the Babylonian captivity,  the first Temple desolation in 587 BC, the first restoration of Israel, the decrees of Cyrus and Artaxerxes which started the 490 year count outlined in Daniel Chapter 9, to the coming of the Messiah officially in 32 AD, then to the Cross, the Resurrection, Pentecost in 32 AD, the second Temple desolation in August of 70 AD, the second restoration of Israel (thy people) in May 1948, and finally the second restoration of Jerusalem (thy Holy city) in June of 1967  – where both conditions to count are now met for the second time.

I (to my own satisfaction at least) perceive a structure to conjecture that it did not stop, that is to say, the prophetic age, the biblical accounting for time never ceased to move forward, instead it changed, as wheels within wheels, shifting from an accounting in the flesh for Israel, beginning immediately when the two conditions were applied  the first time (March 14th, 444 BC) and then continuing to the arrival of the Messiah (precisely as promised on April 6th, 32 AD) where Israel chose to reject their promised visitation, to the ‘times of the gentiles,’  coinciding with the Kingdom of God, the spirit,  where the Church beginning at Pentecost resides today (and forever) and where a thousand years is as one day, and where we (the Church) pray, ‘thy kingdom come’ to be done on the Earth (in us, in this Earth, our bodies) until his authority,  having been granted in the spirit under the provisions of the Law which Israel rejected, is acknowledged by Israel on the Earth (flesh) and finally completed fulfilling the Law and the Prophets after their (Israel’s) diaspora for the transgression,

” But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” 2 Peter 3:8

The consideration of Psalm 90, which Peter is also quoting above, is that we could ‘number our days’ and then what we may come to understand,  knowing that God promises to do nothing unless it is told to us in advance,  the mysteries Jesus himself revealed in the Kingdom parables and where Paul tells us that he was given the unique honor to reveal the most profound mystery of all,  the coming of the Church, being his body on the Earth, in his Spirit, while we being sons of Adam on the Earth, he made us as he is, not under the Law,  rather we are his virgin bride being grafted in by grace under the very provisions Israel rejected, betrothed to the coming King, and he is now our High Priest making intercession,

The Church has been granted authority above all ‘principalities and power’s’ on the Earth, but these same spirits also have their authority granted to them over the flesh, the Earth, willingly granted to them by its current legal owner (Adam and his descendents) until all of the provisions accounting for the Jubilee redemption and the time of the transgressors are fully met,  and then finally to be completed upon the only people (Israel) singled out by the faith of their ancestors to provide the means to accomplish in the flesh what was impossible for men.  Don’t be harsh too on Israel, as our (gentile) ancestors never had the necessary faith to be given the promise to even attempt the enacting of such conditions upon the Earth, that is, to provide the means (even through transgression) to allow God the opportunity within a fallen creation to ultimately redeem us all,

God will act directly on the Earth as outlined at the time of the end.  Coming with anger and wrath, why? because as we’re shown,  Satan violates the Law, causing those on the Earth to break the Everlasting Covenant,  which God has steadfastly required to be maintained allowing for his Holiness to redeem all of the physical creation.  The Covenant that is broken and his wrath being poured out is not upon believers, the Church is forever covered under the fulfillment of the Jubilee release of the Gospel, the new Covenant (testament) which Jesus made ‘with the many’ when he took that cup and drank and the coming of the Kingdom of God being preached only after the work of the old Covenant with John the Baptist.  He came not to do away with the Law, but to fulfill it,

“Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”  Matthew 11:11

“For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”  Matthew 26:28

“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.”  Daniel 9:27

It is not Antichrist, it is the spirit of Antichrist which caused this event, Messiah was cutoff (in the midst of the week) in the middle of a week of days, on a Wednesday of a much larger timeline but also on a Wednesday of a weekday (April 9th, 32 AD) but not for himself, and for that reason, because Israel did not know the time of their visitation their house was left desolate just as Jesus foretold.  Jerusalem and the Temple of stone were destroyed in August of 70 AD and not one stone was left upon another, all were cast down to the ground.  The Temple was made flesh and ‘the sacrifice and the oblation’, ‘the First and the Last’, ‘the Alpha and the Omega’ were fully come with the sacrifice on the Cross.  What remains now is for the transgressors to come to their full, that is for Israel to be restored, then Satan, for this reason knowing he has only a short time,  will seek to change the ‘Times and Seasons’ to prevent the fulfilling of Gods Ordinances upon the Earth,

Is it the Flesh or the Spirit that matters here?  Josephus records that Titus Vespasian with the 5th, 10th, 12th and 15th Roman Legions destroyed the city and the Sanctuary on August 10th, 11th and 12th of 70 AD, so prophecy scholars presume much from this physical act,  but who does Jesus tell us is actually responsible for this desolation:

“And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.”  Luke 19:44

“And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.  For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?”  Luke 23:27-30

At the time of the end, when the transgressors are come to the full, (that is, Israel, the only ones operating under the promise who could have transgressed, and who were prophesied to do so, warned of the penalty and restitution, when they reach the fullness of time, to accomplish as it is written ‘to scatter the power of the holy people’ (as recorded in Daniel Chapter 11) Satan will in some way encumber the flesh (Israel) and the physical Earth by dividing the restored Israel with an agreement, breaking the Everlasting Covenant (Isaiah calls it a covenant with Death) which he (Satan) intends to change the provisions under the Law that God has been faithfully maintaining,  and for which even provides that he continue to be acknowledged to stand in Heaven to accuse believers because they operate within his allowed dominion,

Jesus is now sitting at the right hand of the Father, on his Fathers throne, as a man,  the seed of a woman,  and it is this division of the restoration that comes fulfilling the penalty of the transgression, it is why the wrath of God is poured out on the Earth, its how and why the end comes when it comes.

Satan understands these provisions, he understands they are almost complete and the ‘times and seasons’ of God under a Holy Law fully enacted upon the Earth will mean his lawful end, this is why he breaks the Covenant and this is why he is thrown out of Heaven by the Archangel Michael.  The gentiles have their time,  and Israel has their time, and now they have a day to complete as the transgressors, and once they complete that accounting and are returned to their Land (as they have since 1967) what will follow is the veil is then lifted,  they will then recognize their Messiah,  they will perceive the Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Daniel, that is they will ‘understand’ and then the believing remnant that now perceives the truth, understand they have full legal authority on the Earth to call for the return of Messiah, and this is why Satan will embark on his most desperate attempt to destroy the power of the holy people (Israel) as prophesied for the time of the end, beginning what Jesus called ‘the Great Tribulation’ and for which the book of Revelation tells us is so grievous that it will only last 1260 days on the Earth and it will be in some manner ‘cut short’ or no flesh would remain alive,

“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.”  Psalm 2:1-8

“The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”  Psalm 110:1

“And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.”  Zechariah 12:10

“Look, he is coming with the clouds,” and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” So shall it be! Amen.”  Revelation 1:7

The Messiah will sit on his own throne, the throne of David, as a man forever, where it is with the receiving of this authority on the Earth being shown to us in the book of Revelation beginning at Chapter 4 and continuing until the the physical return (bodily) to the Earth in Chapter 19.  Jesus is now coming in his own power and authority,  as lightning shining from the east to west, with the clouds of Heaven (believers) and every eye will see him and every knee will bow.  Satan’s authority is being thrown down by the sword of his mouth,(by the word itself) by the Law, as truth and Holiness that cannot be denied, with everlasting righteousness being established on the Earth,

“For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”  Matthew 23:39

And if you know this, then the time accounted for under the Law with the conditions being met whereby the court sits in Heaven will begin to become visible, we need those two conditions to be met, and then we need a Jubilee distance, under the Law, requiring 49 years,  and then to be acknowledged in Heaven as ‘the acceptable year of the Lord’

If it is as conjectured here,  62 instead of 69 weeks having passed, with seven years only remaining, and that Israel instead has seven weeks (49 years – a Jubilee distance) and then one week (7 years) or 56 years total from the Cross remaining, meaning that we don’t have a short time frame (2520 days) to come upon believers suddenly, instead we have an entire  generation to see these prophesied events coming to their full, occurring in the lifespan of those conscious of the division between flesh and spirit and with understanding of where the Laws and Ordinances apply,  not to the Church, but to the Earth, the flesh, to Israel, who rejected the fulfillment of them and went into the long years of penalty until the transgression was accounted for under the same provisions which brought them the flood.   They erred in not knowing the timing, and as we’re told we would see that day approaching, just as Israel should have seen that day and even later the accounting to what followed in 70 AD when the end did come ‘like a flood’ upon the transgressors, and then at the time of the end,  a final week will come, for the world instead of for Israel alone, to be poured out in wrath.  The Great Tribulation, culminating with the Bowl judgements and his return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords,

The remnant will understand with the work on the earth of the 144,000 sealed out of every tribe,  the Church is now away with the harvest (Barley harvest – first fruits, Jesus being the first-fruits of them that slept) then the wheat harvest where the chaff is separated and lastly the grape harvest at the very end, where the returning Messiah, with the Jubilee, the year of his redeemed has now come, where he will tread the wine press of the wrath of God alone,

“Why is Your apparel red,
And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?

“I have trodden the winepress alone,
And from the peoples no one was with Me.
For I have trodden them in My anger,
And trampled them in My fury;
Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments,
And I have stained all My robes.
For the day of vengeance is in My heart,
And the year of My redeemed has come. ”   Isaiah 63:2-4

in Revelation when the Angels hold the wind from the four corners, its as the winnowing of the wheat harvest, they’re holding until the 144,000 are sealed and ready, it brings to consideration the same way in which wheat was placed on a sheet and tossed into the wind to separate it from the chaff,

Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD’S anger come upon you.”  Zephaniah 2:2

We meet the Lord in the air,  I conjecture this is simply because he has no authority on the Earth (just yet) which tells us something about the timing of this event, it occurs before, or coincides with the opening of the seals, where he has just been acknowledged by the Court (the 24 elders) sitting before the throne, establishing his legal authority over all of creation,  having met the strict conditions for the kinsman redeemer provisions under the Law enacted upon the Earth,

“Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.”  Zephaniah 2:3

The appearance becomes,  the accounting for time went from the flesh, accounting for Israel, to the spirit, being the Kingdom of Heaven,  where it flows in Gods dispensation of ages very differently than it does for those ‘dwelling’ on the Earth, as those without understanding are referenced in the book of Revelation, Earth dwellers.

“The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.”   Psalm 110:2-7

And at midnight there was a cry made

Knowledge in general has continued to increase, and undeniably (even dramatically so along with global travel and mobility) just within our generation alone,

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 12:4

However, Daniel Chapter 12 applies more so to the knowledge of his word and how it will become known at the time of the end, and it has been interesting to watch over the years as world events shift and align toward what has been revealed, and we can begin to see more clearly those days approaching as he told us,  we have more than Moses and the Prophets for our consideration, much more than even Daniel had for reference,  with the record of the Gospels and the understanding that Christ came according to the law and prophets,  we have a more sure witness,

We are without excuse,.

“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:  And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:  After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.  After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.  And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.”  1 Corinthians 15:3-8

Like Paul our understandings come from being brought in after these events,  we didn’t directly witness the miracles and resurrection and yet it’s because of the spirit that we can see them at all, its not from the strength of our own wisdom or counsel,

Israel was given great works to see firsthand their Messiah, to acknowledge him and accept him as the fulfillment of the law for which they had the appearance at least of  upholding as well as the prophets they claimed to esteem,  and still they would not.  Satan can perform great works and will perform great miracles of deceptions at the time of the end.  Jesus did not stake his authority on miracles,  but rather by fulling the Law and his coming being according to the Prophets,  as it is written, for our eternal witness,

“For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.”   Luke 10:24

With many prophetically timed events occurring in the world, it seems too often there are those who (unknowingly or inadvertently) seek to normalize today, to raise the level of perceived scriptural requirements above what is actually stated,  to be something more than current events, above our present knowledge and even beyond our current technology, as if all things continue today as they always have,

Peter comments that at the time of the end there would be those that respond:

“And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”  2 Peter 3:4

We’re told that if it were possible even ‘the very elect’ would be deceived, and if left alone in the flesh to our own understandings, we could never adequately discern (all) the signs of the times or properly separate his work in the flesh (Israel) from the spirit (the Church) or begin to understand how he will resolve that separation of the times as he comes himself fulfilling the restitution of all things, as the Jubilee,

“he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?  And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

And Jesus answered and said unto him,

Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.”  Matthew 16:15-17

The Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew Chapter 25 presents some deep clues as we consider the time it must apply toward, the day when he is revealed, a time preceding the revealing of that wicked one,  the day of his return for his ecclesia, his called out ones, meaning what must be happening in the world at this precise moment when he comes for those waiting, as revealed by the spirit,

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”    1 Corinthians 15:51-52

“But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.”  Luke 17:29-30

1) they are all virgins (the Church)
2) five are wise, with oil (the Holy Spirit)
3) five are foolish,
4) they are all waiting for the bridegroom (Jesus)
5) they all wake up with the shout, (the Trump of God)
6) And at midnight there was a cry made (fullness of time)
7) go ye out to meet him (with the voice of the Archangel)

And yet only those with oil in their lamps are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb and “the door is shut.”

“Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.”   Isaiah 26:20

Be sensitive to the accounting they are all virgins, they are all waiting for the bridegroom, and those lacking oil in their vessels are aware they missed the coming of the bridegroom, and while they hurry off attempting to quickly remedy their condition with those that would make the house of God a place of merchandise,  those that would rely solely on passive understandings of the truth, instead of earnestly seeking it out for themselves and joining the witness of the spirit,  the door remains shut with the admonition from the bridegroom himself :

“Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.  But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.   Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” Matthew 25:11-13

To the church at Philadelphia:

“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.”  Revelation 3:8

And ‘after this’ meta (μετά) tauta (ταῦτα)

After the Church,

“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”  Revelation 4:1

“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.   Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”    1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

“And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.”  Revelation 19:9

to seal up the vision and prophecy

Many books about Daniel and the 70 weeks tell us there are at most six conditions to be met in Daniel 9:24.   There are actually seven requirements (to complete the 490 years upon Israel )

“Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city,

1) to finish the transgression, and
2) to make an end of sins, and
3) to make reconciliation for iniquity, and
4) to bring in everlasting righteousness, and
5) to seal up the vision and
6) prophecy, and
7) to anoint the most Holy.

And why does it matter?  why is this important to understand?

“to seal up the vision and Prophecy” is usually expressed as if being a single mechanism of his communication, but anyone having experienced the difference between a vision and witnessing the fulfillment of what is written would understand how the information in these formats are separate,  it helps us to properly divide the structure of his work as it becomes revealed to believers whether being in the flesh or being in the spirit,  and further toward who it is that is being addressed,  and once we’re aware of how they are different, it becomes a valuable help to consider what is being presented.  We have imagery presented in Zechariah, Ezekiel, Daniel and elsewhere with almost the entire book of Revelation in the form of a vision, rendered into signs by none other than Jesus himself and presented to John.   However we must also consider that it can be personal imagery revealed by the Holy Spirit, to help guide us as individual believers, whereas prophecy as its written in (as Gabriel called it) “the scripture of truth,” is matter of fact in word, very much like a legal document, accessible to all and to be met unconditionally.  Satan can quote scripture as well as we can, but he does not have access to our visions and dreams, this is direct communications to us,

There are many mainstream Churches and well meaning organizations and even popular online web posting boards, that will all but disparage this gift of the Holy Spirit, his giving of dreams and visions and the pouring out of his spirit in these last days for our edification is dismissed as almost foolishness, and while they would have the appearance of following him, they deny this power merely because of the effort it would require to discern the truth:

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.  Hereby know you the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:” 1 John 4:1-2

They may have all manner of appearances of serving him, but can they perceive all he has to say without oil in their lamps, and if they have the oil, his light will shine in the Temple,  and they will hear his voice and look for his coming,

“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2 Timothy 3:5

Dreams and visions can provide more information in the way a photograph can express more than words alone, but just as easily a photograph without a description or point of reference can present an even greater mystery, visions and prophecy work together, but the imagery is the manner in which he can reveal much more, and it can also be by his power tuned to our individual experiences and perspectives, like the hidden manna raining down for our understanding and learning, and this manner is promised to be increased as the end approaches,

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” John 16:13

We walk not in darkness that the day of the Lord should overtake us like a thief as Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians,  and neither will you see it unless you look, and only those earnestly looking for him, with their lamps full of oil, as a bride anxiously waiting for her bridegroom will see him in the day he is revealed,

“All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”  John 16:15

1) to finish the transgression, Israel is the transgressor and having now been restored the second time from the diaspora is  ready to complete the law upon the Earth, this is not for his Church, this is about his promises to be kept to David, to Israel, for his Holy Name.

When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.”  Deuteronomy 4:30-31

In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.”  Jeremiah 50:20

2) to make an end of sins.  Jesus did this on the cross for us, those that willingly receive it are covered and are already written in the Lambs book of life written before the foundation of the world.  Sin exists in the world, but the remedy has been freely provided to overcome it forever,

3) to make reconciliation for iniquity,  Jesus did this on the Cross for us, he became sin to make reconciliation under the Holy structure which he himself provided, he then  provided himself becoming a Son of Man, a kinsman of Adam,  being now eligible to redeem us, because it could only be a man,  and he made restitution before our Father forever.  We can now come boldly before the throne because the one who purchased our strength to stand and by his own hand bought our salvation, promises he will confess our presence before the throne and to all the host that stand about it.   For those willingly uncovered the lake of fire will be their reconciliation,

“To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”  2 Corinthians 5:19

4) to bring in everlasting righteousness,  Jesus did this as he ascended into the spirit 40 days after the Resurrection, and ten days before Pentecost, but not yet on the Earth until he returns, providing the comforter to believers and in doing so convicted the world and that the prince of this world will be judged, as we’re told in John Chapter 16,

5) to seal up the vision  as shown in many books including Daniel and Revelation, God can place a seal upon his own, something Satan is counterfeiting at the time of the end, and I believe that Satan does not have access to our own dreams and visions,  and it’s in this manner that God can communicate with believers individually showing us things to come. Not merely for his plan to the world in what is written in scripture, but in the world of our own within our dreams, for reproof.   We are being “helped with a little help” as its written in Daniel,

6) and prophecy,  All that has been written in the Prophets and in the Psalms will be fulfilled.  Satan can quote scripture and understand what is clearly presented and especially what remains to be done,  which will bring his end,  so he seeks to change these times and seasons, interrupt the laws and ordinances and hinder what has already been decreed.  Its this effort that brings the Judgement upon the whole world, they divide Jerusalem, they part his land at the time of the end.

7) to anoint the most Holy.  Jesus is the anointed one, the holy one of Israel, who came to us as the Son of Man, to provide the price of redemption that no man could meet, he came not in his own power, and not to perform his own will,  but to do the will of his father only, and in so doing was anointed to receive the spirit without measure.  When the fulness of times and seasons are completed upon the flesh (the Earth) he will come in his own power, as title deed owner, the second Adam of the redeemed land for which his own hand upheld him.   Jesus then returns as Lord of Lords and Kings of Kings over the Earth and over all of creation, to claim it forever and undoing hell and Death to as many as would receive him,

So the 1) mechanism of his Holy Law 2) manner of its fulfillment 3) harvest cycles, 4) visions, 5) prophecies, 6) psalms, 7) Holy Feast Days and convocations and for the Church, 8) the wedding ceremony for the Bride are all being presented as a pattern of events, and specific times, and counted to specific days known only to God, hidden from Satan’s direct knowledge and revealed as a cloud to those with his spirit of understanding, overlaid with prophetic events coming to the full upon the physical earth, with ongoing warfare in the angelic realm ruling over the Earth, against the spirit of God upon the Earth (the Church) and not over any physical kingdom or nation, (Satan already has them all) except for restored Israel, brought again to complete the laws and ordinances for the redemption upon the physical Earth, but which will be deceived into a covenant with death with this world system under Satans authority,  and Israel having now been restored as promised for the appointed time of the end, after which the transgressors will be come to the full for that which is determined to be poured out as Daniel Chapter 9 completes with,

“Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.”

Daniel 9:25-27

Counting from the mid-point of a 7000 year (week) pattern:

|Sunday|Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday|

|–———–3500 years———-| March 14th, 445 BC

March 14,  445 BC, as the starting point of the 490 years (or 70 sevens) determined per Daniel Chapter 9:26, is 69 sevens (x360 days) or 173, 880 days exactly counting to April 6th, 32 AD, while September 27, 2 BC is precisely 11, 880 days to the same day.

March 14th, 445 BC                 |—-483 years—-| April 6th,32 AD
September 27, 2 BC                             |33 years| April 6th,32 AD

Of the 70 Weeks or 490 years determined per Daniel 9:25,

|-49-|–434–| = 483 years total to April 6th, 32 AD, and 49 years of this total,  with the Jubilee as Jesus quoted from Isaiah Chapter 61,  which was rejected and fell upon the Church, upon gentile believers, providing the good news to as many as would receive it, the kingdom in the spirit and not upon the physical Earth, except in us as we are in him as his body, the Temple,  and leaving 56 years remaining of the 490 when Messiah was cutoff or |-49-|-7-|  =  490 years

The timing to complete the 490 years (7×70) determined upon Israel as Daniel was told in Chapter 9 is counting from two very specific requirements that had been met in March of 445 BC, counted, rejected, cutoff at 62 weeks (434 years) and now, I would conjecture continuing, as wheels within wheels, (with eight weeks,  56 years remaining) having never been slowed or halted, but moving seamless between the flesh to the spirit, where a thousand years equals one day,  whereby it had the appearance of providing additional time, the fullness of the Gentiles must be come in, and time for this world to come to a  greater saving knowledge of his work or it would have been convicted long ago with the Temple (Jesus) desolation in 32 AD and then for Israel completely at the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.  That flood upon Israel has moved past, now the world with the Great Tribulation will face the same desolation in fire as Jerusalem,

“For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”  2 Peter 3:5-7

Jesus spoke in parables to Israel,  so “hearing they would hear not, and seeing they would see not” or they would have been held to a higher standard of accountability, they would have come to their complete end, much more than only being driven from the land and into the years of the diaspora until being restored the second time in our day, there is only the second time to be restored,

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people,”  Isaiah 11:11

The two requirements to begin the counting of days per Daniel Chapter 9 occurred the first time in March of 445 BC, and did not occur again until June of 1967, with the restoration of Israel and Jerusalem being separated in the exact same accounting of days as when Israel first went into captivity under Nebuchadnezzar and then 19 years later with Jerusalem and the Temple being destroyed in 587 BC.

The same conditions,  using the identical interval accounting of days are met again:

1. ‘thy people’ Israel restored  – May 14th, 1948
2. ‘thy holy city’ Jerusalem restored  – June 7th, 1967

seven thunders uttered their voices

“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,  And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.  And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.”  Revelation 10:1-4

to “seal up’ σφραγίζω  sphragizō  (Strongs Concordance: by implication to keep secret, to attest)

I believe what John is being shown in Revelation Chapter 10 is the mystery of God is finished, Paul tells us the mystery of God is the Church.  There is time no longer as the spirit counts time, where a thousand years is as one day,  the events now revert in some manner to the promises God made to Israel and to completing the law of Moses in the flesh upon the Earth,

“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”   1 Corinthians 2:7-8

“How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;”  Ephesians 3:3-5

As Jesus ascended with a cloud, this powerful angel is descending with a cloud, and while we’re not told who he is,  he has much in common with Gabriel who always appeared announcing the conditional timing and coming of the Messiah, we’re witnesses with understanding to what has been, the rainbow over his head is the everlasting covenant God made with the Earth and every living thing in it,  the sea represents the gentiles out of every tribe, tongue, nation and peoples, the Earth is Israel.  This is the Church, (made up of Jew and Gentile) and Israel. The Angel is standing (speaking to) both the Earth and sea, as opposed to being above it as we’re shown in similar circumstances in Daniel Chapter 12.

And the Angels face shone as the sun, as Moses face shone to Israel, and as Jesus’ face when he was transfigured, revealing his true appearance to the select group of apostles,

“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.”  Luke 17:28-30

“And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.” 2 Corinthians 3:13-16

The veil will remain in place for Israel until the Son of man is revealed,

I believe the seven thunders are referencing what we’re shown in Psalm 81:

“Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.”  Psalm 81:10

Psalm 81 points us to the events that happened at the waters at Meribah, as recorded in Exodus 17 and again later in Numbers 20 and shows us what God has performed with Israel, it became the Law of Moses which they recorded, practiced and then transgressed and whereby their house was left desolate.  Jesus was the Rock, to be struck only once and then life giving waters to be poured out.

“Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; “ Psalm 81:8

The vision Daniel saw in similar manner, where the man clothed in linen held up both hands to heaven,  was above the river and the Earth, a division of time, a division of a Seven, a  ‘time times and half ‘ a time is being shown to us,

“Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?  And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?  And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.”  Daniel 12:5-9

This will not be understood until the time of the end,

“And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:  But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.” Revelation 10:5-7

April 6th, 32 AD is exactly 17 years, or 6120 days (x360) to Wednesday on a 7000 year/week pattern, or being day 1,440,000 coming to January 6th 49 AD, leaving 7000 more days and then 888 days to the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple just as Jesus described:

“And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!  And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” Mark 13:1-2

2520 years (907,200 days) plus 50 years (18,000 days) or the Jubilee.  Jesus was the word made flesh, Jesus is the Jubilee, the redeemer, the Gospel is the Jubilee and I suspect in this pattern of days, his life is reflected in the timeline as the jubilee,

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”  John 1:14
“dwelt” is the Greek: eskenosen = tabernacle

“I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.  But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. “ Psalm 81:10-11

“He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee. ”  Psalm 81:16

“And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.  And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.  And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”  Revelation 10:9-11

“Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.  And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?”  Exodus 17:6-7

The second time Moses was commanded to only speak to the rock, but instead he struck it as he had done years before and because the pattern was broken, the Rock was to be struck only the first time, he was not allowed to go into the Promised Land.  Jesus is that Rock and will come again.

“I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence , and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.” Hosea 5:15

“And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.  And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?  And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.  And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.  This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.  Numbers 20:9-13

eyes like the eyes of a man

God uses the imagery of beasts to describe governments (kings/kingdoms) in reference to the succeeding world powers that would come after Nebuchadnezzar as the head of gold representing Babylon.

“The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand on the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.” (Babylon) Daniel 7:4

“a mans heart was given to it” = democracy

“I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.” Daniel 7:8

Antichrist is a spirit (and was already at work in Johns day) and its this spirit which empowers the “little horn” at the time of end where its also given that it can “see” like a man. I conjecture this is referencing being able to monitor its citizens every move.

Its only been within the past few decades, with the widespread availability of new technologies, communication satellites, cell towers, computers and now (Tower of Babel) internet connectivity, smart phones, webcams etc., that individual activities of law abiding free citizens everywhere on the Earth are increasingly being monitored.

We’ve become a surveillance society, our every move, purchase, credit transaction, web page visit, blog postings, opinions, habits and political affiliations along with anything else they want to know about us can be monitored, tracked, indexed and stored away until those in power need it to ‘protect’ us,

Its this information for which those in power will have going forward to use against anyone on the outside of this power structure, having never broken any law, to even consider public service or to seek elected office or promote any voice that fails to hold the politically acceptable ‘safe’ views,

They want us to assume its normal, knowing that any society where its every collective thought is consumed with finding ways to bring themselves more entertainment, joy and self-gratification will eventually shrug and give up their freedom and privacy when that comfort is threatened.

Such a system needs only to have the appropriate kinds of events to be adequately exploited along the way,

This is the spirit of antichrist at work,

Its “the eyes of a man,”

And its this type of spirit that is increasingly rising in power when the end of the age comes and just before Jesus bodily returns to the Earth,

“I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.” Daniel 7:21-22

Ultimately we’re shown in the book of Revelation, there will come Ten kings which have no power until the time of the end,

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 

And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”   Revelation 17:8-14

the great trumpet shall be blown

“And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.”  Exodus 19:16

Always the third day,

“And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.  And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.” Exodus 19:19-20

The first trump as with Abraham and his willingness to sacrifice Isaac, the two horns of the Ram caught in the thicket, the first and last trump, and instead of Isaac,  the lord provided himself,

“And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.” Genesis 22:8

There are little noticed and obscure prophecies beginning to happen now in the middle east, believers are becoming  outcasts and fleeing the destruction of the whirlwind going from nation to nation,

“The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.  That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,  A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.” Zephaniah 1:14-16

“And the Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.” Zechariah 9:14

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.” Isaiah 27:13

“In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed. In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.”  Micah 7:11-12

And when is this to occur?  At the time of the end, after Jerusalem and Judea have been restored to Israel as promised, see Joel 3:1

“Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;” Joel 2:1

The last trump will sound for the Church in the spirit:

“For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,” Hebrews 12:18-22

But the Church, being his body is not appointed to wrath and as God did for Israel, with Moses (the second time) physically ascending Mount Sinai (40 days) before Yom Kippur while God came down,  the next time the Trump of God is heard,  its for the Church, the pattern is repeating from the flesh to the spirit:

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:52

“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”  1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

And as revealed in the book of Isaiah, after this, shut the door and hide “as it were for a little moment” until the indignation (the great tribulation, 1260 days) is over,

“Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise.  Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.  Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.”  Isaiah 26:19-21

for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come

“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.  But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.  Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.”  Matthew 24:42-44

the powers of heaven shall be shaken

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.”  Luke 21:25-26

“And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.”  Revelation 6:13
