It’s beenlong anticipated that the next appointed time to be fulfilled by Jesus Christ is Yom Teruah (day of shouting), which is usually called the Feast of Trumpets, or just Trumpets.
That word translated as ‘feasts’ actually means ‘times’ in Hebrew. ( מוֹעֵד Strongs 4150 )
Yom Teruah is the real name of God’s fifth holy convocation (appointed time), 4 months after Pentecost & 10 days before Yom Kippur.
Yom Teruah is the Day of Shouting or Trumpet Blowing
5.1 Glory God Beyond
The spring appointed days were fulfilled by Jesus Christ in His first coming.
A simpler chart:
5.2 Glory God Beyond
The question: What is the fulfillment of Yom Teruah?
Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I (Jesus) have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”
On the surface, it seems obvious that God’s final three appointed times will be fulfilled when the church age ends, because the church age is represented by the gap (see charts) between the last Spring appointed day ‘Pentecost’ and the first Fall appointed day ‘Trumpets‘.
So it seems that the final three appointed times, will be observed only after a ‘dormant season,’ and that the appointed times were designed that way by God Almighty, in order that they may also serve as a foreshadowing, informing us that Jesus Christ will be away for awhile, before returning to complete the fulfillment of Torah.

Beautiful creatures! All glory to God in the highest!
Joel2:1“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–
In 2023, the Yom Teruah was observed during the time of the United Nations SDG 2030 Agenda, Action Weekend, the two days preceding the SDG 2030 Agenda, Summit, in which a strengthening of a prior 7 yr. covenant with many was signed by 193 nations including Turkey, Iran and Israel!
The UN Sustained Development Goals 2030 Agenda, a 7yr. extension of the Paris Agreement, is of major significance in the world. In another post I deemed it the Midnight Cry Portent, an alert to the bride foreshadowing the cry in the Parable of the 10 Bridesmaids. See:
The SDG 2030 Agenda is, at the least, a major foreshadowing in its timing and scope:
It set the platform for the next major world changing UN agreement, The Pact for the Future, that not only strengthened it, but was called the biggest power grab in history by Federalist Magazine. I’ve not seen anything about a deadline on Pact for the Future, but I’ve come to understand that the deadline could have been set by God Himself. What I’m saying is that no agreement made in the 70th week of Daniel can possibly last more than 7 years because God is consummating this era at the end of the 7th year! (Old Greek Daniel 9:27 translations seem to support this reading.)
It initiated the ‘peace and security’ mantra and set the stage for the UN to superseded the powers of individual nations with The Pact for the Future, which was signed a year later on Feast of Trumpets 2024!
5.5 Glory God Beyond
The Feast of Trumpets is traditionally observed with 100 trumpet blows. Its ultimate purpose can be understood to be for the sounding of alerts, to those who are listening, in the final week of years of this age. In other words, it might have always been God’s purpose to use it to alert his saints to the progression of important end time events, including agreements of great magnitude, each building upon the other toward the dividing of His land Israel and possibly even Jerusalem.
Addendum: Dec. 2024: The Old Greek version of Daniel 9:27, the version quoted by Jesus, is about three times as long. It provides much more interpretive leeway, possibly allowing for it to be a series of agreements leading to the rebuilding of the 3rd Temple. Since it seems to be occurring that way in the world, I’ve occasionally been calling them ‘domino agreements.’ Not any one by itself sets off the 70th week. My calculations seem to clearly indicate that final week began with the Great American Eclipse, with the SDG 2030 Agenda occurring six months before that and the Pact for the Future occurring six months after it.See posts:
Let’s also keep the 2020 Abraham Accords in mind and the likelihood that the Abraham Accords pt. 2. is coming right up, although they might call it by another name. 7 additional nations were apparently ready to sign on when I wrote this, but more has happened since them . . .
5.6 Glory God Beyond
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farmhand quotes words from the Pact for the Future: “the two state solution is the only viable path to lasting peace in Middle East.”
Action on the so called ‘two state solution’ is be fueled by the fact that the UN Pact for the Future gave rise to unprecedented UN power. Many UN nations acted on their new combined power right away, gathering three times, the third was a high level special council for the purpose of deciding exactly how to wield their power to divide Israel. But, they were delayed over a month because of the Iran Israel War. So now they’re waiting . . . The regular September UN convening is close, Australia and Canada said they’d be signing on then, but with some conditions. That was leaving the United States and Germany as the only powerful countries not ganging up on Israel. But, that support too is fading fast.
The UN’s intention is decisive action on Gaza. I think Trump would have liked to beat them to it with the Abraham Accords pt. 2. The UN certainly didn’t know about the Trump Gaza plan when they arranged the special conference nor did they know that the Arab League would come back with, a 53 billion dollar plan to rebuild Gaza! I hope I’ve clearly demonstrated the propulsive action of one agreement upon another.(I haven’t even mentioned the WHO and WEF’s involvement.) For the WEF’s part, see post 22. Mystery Babylon
Since then. the agreements have been progressing. Any one can knows about that part now if they pay attention to quality news. This post is focusing on the foundational agreements and how they were associated with Yom Teruah, God’s time for sounding trumpets.
In the Old Covenant, in the Temple in Jerusalem, the appointed days were prescribed holy convocations with God. They derive their main design and meaning because they reflect God’s Heavenly Temple and its related holy practices, even as they apply to God our Father’s plan for Earth.
Feast of Trumpets & Daniel’s 70 Weeks Prophesy
God Almighty may have appointed the earthly version of Yom Teruah to the Israelites to foreshadow the world changing events that would one day take place, such as these agreements.

Has the First Seal of the Restrainer been Removed?
If any one or all of the trumpet blows of the Sept. 17, 2023 Yom Teruah heralded the beginning of the removal of the restrainer when Jesus Christ broke the first seal of the scroll of the Deed to the Earth, then I think it’d also have been the ‘coming out’ marker of the waxing little horn/future antichrist!
It really seemed like the beginning of the Day of the Lord, the Time of Jacob’s Trouble was looming in 2023.
The Hamas attack at the Nova Event took place only 19 days after the SDG Agenda 2030 was ratified, and now the whole world’s talking about WW3. I wrote about the little horn mostly in posts 12 & 14.
Take a quick look at what was already set up in Iran in the Summer of 2023:
5.9 Glory God Beyond
Why was the world so asleep, including Christians?
And take a look in your Bible, at the territories/countries/states that were and still are aligning. Most of the territories in the Ezekiel 38 prophesy are currently states/nations/kingdoms that refuse to recognize Israel’s existence.
The words below in Hebrew and Farsi say, “Israel shall be erased off the face of the Earth.”

Dec. 2025 update: Since I started this post in 2023, the Nazi spirit has nearly consumed the whole world. Although God has allowed this because of the continuing rebellion of the Jews against Himself, immediately after Armageddon and Jesus Christ’s triumph over satan’s Beast system and false prophet, Jesus will severely judge the nations at the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
The true Church must absolutely not join the world against the Jews, because we’re the grafted on branches of the Olive Tree of Israel by our faith in the true Jewish Messiah, the son of God. WE are the hidden Israel, but the Biological Israel is our roots and Israel the land will be our homeland during the Millennium. We are Ester, she’s our model. Get ready, Jesus is coming very soon and so is the final showdown between good and evil!
In conclusion, let me be a cheer leader:
If the 7 yr countdown has begun, we need to be ready every day! We the church, have been most of the branches of the ‘Olive Tree of Israel’ since 70 AD. Let’s smash our olives (consume/masticate the WORD of God, who is Jesus Christ – remember He said ‘eat Me’) to prepare extra oil for our lamps and to burn shining the light of truth unto the world! Now! Let’s FORGIVE everybody! MAINTAIN clean garments! STAY AWAKE! KEEP our EYES on the KINGDOM! And, by all means, GET EXCITED!
The first seals of the scroll, which is the Deed to the Earth, seem to have already been broken by Jesus Christ from God’s Throne Room in Heaven…
. . . releasing the first two or three horsemen of the apocalypse.
The First Seal
When Jesus Christ breaks the first seal, He releases the first horseman. He rides a white horse carrying a bow with no arrow and wears a stephanos crown, a crown of achievement.
Presenting with a stephanos crown doesn’t necessarily mean he doesn’t have a royal crown. It could represent the way he chooses to present himself
He’s the ‘little horn,’ future antichrist, as he’s emerging, before he displaces the three horns/kings of Daniel 7:8.
In this special case, the white horse is thought to represent ‘false peace’ but in the ancient world, a white horse represented conquering victory. Since this rider carries no arrow for his bow, he conquers by diplomacy and deceptive strategy, most likely presenting himself as a sheep, when he’s really a wolf. He’s the ultimate crafty user of deception with both subtle and blatant, seduction, bribery, propaganda, flattery, threats and so much more. Those techniques themselves are a type of sorcery, but this rider also represents much darker occult practices.
We know this because these are among the techniques used by his foreshadower, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who’s called a ‘king of the North’ in a series of ‘kings of the North’ described in Daniel 11:21-24. He’s is the only character in the Bible specifically labeled as a despicable man. Although he was the king of the Seleucids, according to Daniel 11, he was not treated with honor.
And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honor of royalty: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. Daniel 11:21
Who did Antiochus Epiphanes most likely foreshadow?
He may’ve foreshadowed the Antichrist and the final ‘King of the North’ of Daniel 11. They’re very similar in character. I speculate that the final ‘King of the North’ will likely be Gog-the-Antichrist’s right hand man. Gog, the chief prince of Magog, is one of the titles of the Antichrist, and Magog is described in Genesis as the dominant tribe of Japheth; As such, Magog often represents all of Japheth (the Caucasians).
A little background . . After the Tower of Babel, Magog spread the farthest and widest conquering other nations. Since the Antichrist: will be the chief ruler of the whole world, he must also take part in fulfilling all the end time prophesies centered on Jerusalem.
This will apparently be accomplished through the final ‘King of the North,’ who’ll be directly involved in the face off toward Jerusalem, pitching his tents between the two seas
And he will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful Holy Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him. (Daniel 11:45)
It’s 49 miles from Gaza to Jerusalem and about 58.7 miles from Jabalia, Gaza to the Dead Sea.
Jared Kushner’s Project Sunrise plan for Gaza. Hmmm Can’t make this stuff up!
I don’t see how the King of the North character could also be the Antichrist, since the Antichrist is of Magog and no powerful enemy nation to the north, recorded in the Bible, has been Caucasian since the Balaam Balak episode. Russia’s not mentioned. For details see:
The relatively quiet events under the first seal makes the particular year in which Jesus Christ broke it less obvious; The historical credentials bolstering the white horse rider’s station may have taken satan centuries to build up. God allowed it, but Jesus Christ has been ‘holding the reigns’ at just the right level, not releasing the first seal restrainer, until the perfect moment according to His perfect plan.
Sept. 17, 2023, may be the very day the Lamb of God broke the first seal of the scroll:
I’ve written in other posts about why I call that day the ‘Midnight Cry Portent,’ which happened 6 months before the start of the 70th week of Daniel, according to my calculations.
14.2 Deed, Glory God Beyond
The actual event was announced with trumpet blasts, as it happened immediately following the 2023 Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets. The event was the Sustained Development Goals 2030 Agenda. Unfortunately, this is its logo: The agenda was a powerful strengthening, for 7 more years, of a prior 7 year international agreement, which is why it garnered so much attention from watchers. It may have even awakened some other Christians from their slumber, because it perfectly matched the Daniel 9:27 prophesy, as it appears in most translations today, which are derived from the Masoretic text. So, it did serve the purpose of a major HEADS UP.
Why its logo is offensive . . .The sign of the first covenant God ever made with mankind and Earth is the rainbow.
Counting from that day brings a large swath of the end time Biblical calendar together, but it’s not the event that begins the first year of the final week of years of this age.
The first seal of the scroll of the Deed to the Earth, which God Almighty hands to His Lamb, releases a white horseman carrying a bow with no arrow who sets forth to conquer.
Genesis 9: 13-15
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
The expiration of God’s final 7 years for mankind’s rebellion that lands on March 24, 2030 ADT (The Torah calendar begins in the Spring) for the most part overlaps with the year in which the SDG 2030 Agenda expires.
Although it’s not exact, the Olympic logo is reminiscent of a rainbow, and its outer rings reminiscent of a bow.
The 7 rings represent the 7 continents coming together for one purpose. The rebellion of mankind at Babel was when all humanity came together for the purpose of reaching heaven without God.
14.4 Deed, Glory God Beyond
Most of humanity is clueless, swallowing up anything titillating. That’s how they get brainwashed to accept the enemy. The Antichrist, the first horseman of the apocalypse, will most likely eventually be possessed by satan or Abaddon, symbolized by the wings here.
14.5 Deed, Glory God Beyond
Still skeptical? This is the center peace for the Winter Olympics in Milan. They called it the cauldron.
The Second Seal
When Jesus Christ breaks the second seal, He releases the red horse, who’s rider is either an angel, like the horsemen in the Zechariah 1, or a spirit being represented symbolically. (Zechariah 6, describes 4 chariots being driven by many horses of the same colors or coats as those in Zech. 1, which are said to be ‘the four spirits of God’.)
Although the Holy Spirit in His completion, is seven fold, He can work in other divisions, as He’s able to work through the great multitude of saints on Earth. And, he can restrain in other ways, not just through the saints.
The rider of the red horse carries a sword and removes peace from Earth.
Since God’s prophesies are Jerusalem-centric I think the most relevant removal of peace on Earth was the Hamas brutal attack on Israel at the Nova Concert on Oct. 7, 2023, which killed over 1,200 people, torturing many of them, even children, in ways that are actually unspeakable, due to their supernatural hate. That part has been completely hidden from most of the public, including those who only watches mainstream news outlets. And it happened just 21 days after Yom Teruah 2023 (Feast of Trumpets 2023).
’21’
is one of the most highly symbolic numbers in the Bible, even regarding time.
’21’ is the number of God in His triune nature: 3 x 7 .
14.6 Deed, Glory God Beyond
21 days before the Hamas massacre, Oct. 2, 2024 the UN Pact for the Future was signed by 193 nations giving the UN unprecedented power. (See: mainly post 3, but also posts 5, 6 & 8.)
Since then, war and extreme war threats have been escalating world wide. Since Trump got into office, bombings and threats of nuclear bombings have become daily news.
14.7 Deed, Glory God Beyond
And, don’t be fooled; The Vatican supports the Beast System. see posts:
The only person in the universe worthy to break the seals on the scroll of the Deed to the Earth is Jesus Christ the Lamb of God. As Jesus Christ breaks the first, second, and third seals, their effects pile up and compound when He breaks the fourth seal:
But before catastrophe reaches the point where it’d scourge His bride, He will remove her from Earth.
Jesus Christ holds the reigns.
I think removing His bride is the indirect way in which the Lamb of God will bring about the removal of the one nation on Earth who’s now holding back the Beast System. That of course, is the United States.

A portion of the church will departupward
the rest are already departing downward –
the two sides of the the apostasy:
See 2024: The Mystery of Apostasy. God’s Word reveals the TRUTH!by C.J. Lovik
For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief. (1 Thess. 2-4)
January 23 ’26, Important Update:The Board of Peace was ratified at Davos.
When Jesus Christ harvests His bride, the portion of the Holy Spirit who resides in her will be removed from the world, including from the USA. But, it’s been the United States of America, that has been the most truly Christ following nation in recent centuries, evidenced by the fact that, even with the currently falling away, but not completely ‘fallen’ state of Jesus Christ‘s church in America, it was the only powerful nation that stood for Israel.
Now, although the US may still bomb Iran, with the latest international force taking over Gaza, and requiring Israel to give back the part they’d conquered at great cost, which is still God’s land, I can’t say that America is really standing for Israel. In fact, since America’s leading the non Israeli control of that land: WOE to America. God will bring judgment.
Revelation’s Silence About America Isn’t an Accident—It’s a Prophetic Clue
I’m saying the Holy Spirit is the restrainer, and He partially works through the Church of Christ. But how His removal along with the bride-of-Christ will effect the world, will disproportionately be effected through how the USA responds. When the church is gone the Luciferian false light will take over.
I’ve long thought that God’s final week of years would begin before the actual ‘great tribulation’. And it appears to be so. I think it’s turning out that the final week-of-years began about 21 months before the ‘sudden destruction’ will begin. Then, only after the tribulation saints are safely in God’s throne room, the GREATEST tribulation, which is GOD’S WRATH will begin.
In other words, as I understand it, the great tribulation will begin immediately when Jesus Christ harvests His bride. The temple will goes up soon after the great tribulation begins, and probably about 14 months after that, the greatest tribulation will begin, seemingly no later than Oct. 1, 2027. It fits the timeline. See:
I’m not saying that the bride of Jesus Christ, who will be removed from the whole Earth, only comes from America!
I’m only saying that when Jesus Christ harvests His bride, the greatest effect it will have on the world, will be to put and end to the restraining power of the United States to hold back a major part of the Beast System. After the bride is removed, the USA will likely fall deeply into the Beast System. I think shocked and horrified, formerly nominal Christians, will make up the bulk of the 5th seal martyrs and hopefully, 6th seal tribulation saints will include many people who never thought in a million years that they’d ever become a follower of Jesus Christ. I used to be one of those. Glory to Jesus Christ the miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness! Amen.
I think the Holy Spirit will continue to indwell new saints on Earth after Jesus Christ rescues His bride, including the 144,000, the Two Witnesses and all new believers, but His power will be expressed differently, without a unified nation or established church congregations to work through.
14.10 Deed, Glory God Beyond
The Third Seal
The fourth seal may not have yet been broken by the Lamb of God, but I think the 3rd seal has.
It isn’t written that when Jesus Christ breaks a seal, that the full force of it happens all at once. It probably means that things begin moving in the direction toward the prophesied outcome.
14.11 Deed, Glory God Beyond
As with the rider of the red horse, the rider of the black horse is also either an angel or a spirit represented by a symbolic entity.
The black horseman of the apocalypse will bring food shortages.
Are Food Shortages Coming? @JimmyEvans on Famine & End Time Bible Prophecy
Then the rider on the green, ashen (or dappled Septuagint) horse, will bring death to 1/4th of humanity by the sword (war), famine, plague and the wild beasts of the earth.
After that, many martyrs are seen under God Almighty’s throne in heaven crying out for justice, the 144,000 are given their protective seals and are assigned to remain on Earth, presumably to help the lost Jews, and the uncountable number of saints who come out of the great tribulation are seen standing in God’s throne room singing joyful songs of praise, wearing pristine white linen and waving palm branches.
14.12 Deed, Glory God Beyond
By this time, if the Antichrist has not yet been revealed, it’s certainly time.
Is the The Prince Who is to Come referred to by Daniel, the Antichrist/Beast?
Watchers have been keeping their eyes peeled for ‘the prince who is to come’ (Dan. 9:27). Sometimes I think he’s probably the Antichrist/Beast, but I have reservations. Why?
Many Bible teachers think, based on 2 Thess. 2:3, that we can’t know who the Antichrist/Beast is until he sits in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God. If so, then it’s unclear how the ‘prince who is to come’ could be the Antichrist/Beast.
14.13 Deed, Glory God Beyond
2 Thess. 2: 1-4 BLB
Now we implore you, brothers, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together unto Him, for you not quickly to be shaken in mind, nor to be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as if by us, as that the Day of the Lord is present. No one should deceive you in any way, because it is not until the apostasy shall have come first, and the man of lawlessness shall have been revealed—the son of destruction, the one opposing and exalting himself above every so-called god or object of worship—so as for him to sit down in the temple of God, setting forth that he himself is God.
But, the ‘prince who is to come’ must be prophetically active years before that in order to get the temple of God built. So maybe the phrase in 2-Thess.2:4 is merely describing the defining act that the Beast will do, without intending it to be interpreted to mean that absolutely no one will know who he is until the moment he sits in the temple.
Many Jews will align with ‘the prince’ because he’ll facilitate the the building of the 3rd temple and therefore the return of the Old Covenant; It does seem like this prince is the one Jesus warned us about, the one who the Jews will accept as their Messiah despite the fact that he comes in his own name. But, if they’re the same man, then awake Christians would have to know he’s the Antichrist before he sits in the temple!
Trump?
May believers think it’ll be Trump because of the Cyrus coin and how he loves to build things and to think of himself as king; and because he has lot of support in Israel and observes Hanukkah instead of Christmas in the White House. But, the white horseman of the apocalypse is shown under the first seal to have no arrow for his bow. Trump has already bombed Iran and he’s been pointing nukes toward Russia. He captured a Russian oil tanker, the Venezuelan president, and now he’s threatening Mexico and Columbia. So that’s a problem, unless we assume we’re past the white horse phase.
I don’t usually talk about predictive programming on this site; But since it was absolutely correct predicting the World Trade Center towers coming down on 9:11, and tomorrow’s Feb.8 ’26 is a programmed date, it seems to possible that there will be something that will happen akin to a second 9:11, in the sense that it will be a very bad day for America. So I’m providing the following explanatory link – it could be a trick, a decoy or it could be real again.
FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT – FINAL WARNING TO FEBRUARY 8, 2026 SUPER BOWL 60
So, the USS Abraham Lincoln might sink on Feb. 8, 2026.
If so, that’ll likely lead to something nuclear and the bride of Christ will go up on one of those days; Then together, all these things, will trigger the New World Order to snap into place, including the actions of the ‘prince who is to come.’ He’ll step up to get the third temple of God built.
What if the true white horseman/false messiah is in the background, quietly and persistently continuing to carefully and discretely position his chess pieces, maybe even secretly manipulating Trump, or someone else to be the most visible person involved with the temple rebuilding. If so, what if the New Sanhedrin already knows who’s really behind it; someone who has ancestral Messianic qualifications, in their eyes. If so, it’d be easy to keep most of the world in the dark with AI generating false news images like they were doing with the false starvation campaign in Gaza.
Note: According to the Masoretic text, (Theodotian based) the prince-who-is-to-come will clearly confirm a covenant. By comparison, in the Old Greek text, the prince is certainly aligned with The Covenant- The Mosaic Covenant. It seems that there may be a document, but, his initial role isn’t as clear. Not even after reading 4 translations in the Old Greek. (Which is only available in a few Septuagints)
I’m not sure if the bride of Christ will be able to figure out who he is definitively as we will be gone soon. But, I wrote a whole post about it. There is one astonishing candidate:
The 70th-Week is a seven year period ending with a Jubilee-Sabbath year.
The 70th-Week is set apart from the prior 69 weeks by a 2,000 yr. ‘gap’ or ‘time out.’
The ‘gap’ was placed by God Almighty within the 69th and 70th weeks of the Daniel 9:24 prophesy.
Most Christians call the gap ‘The Church Age.’ It began the year after the Holy Spirit anointed Jesus Christ the Jewish Messiah, the Son of God, our eternal Lord, and is usually thought to conclude when the first year of Daniel’s 70th-Week begins.
I think that’s over simplified, and that the Church Age actually ends when Christ gathers His bride, probably about 21 months into the final 7 years, immediately before the ‘great tribulation’ begins (not God’s wrath).
14.16 Deed, Glory God Beyond
My take on the Church Age is that it ends sometime in the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel, just before the massive death toll begins.
Jesus strongly implied He’d tarry. So this a highly motivational time for Christ’s mature bride; She has work to do for those who are at risk of being left behind. And, perhaps it’s also a test of perseverance to see who’s really truly His bride. There’s a whole lot of evidence that the final week has begun and that we’re deep into the tarry now. And most importantly, the Bible never actually says that the Church is removed before Daniel’s 70th week! See post:
The purpose of the final week-of-years before the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ begins:
Assigned by God, it’s for the bringing about of the consummation of His awesome plan!
Only the translations that were ultimately based on the Theodotion redaction of the Book of Daniel, such as the Masoretic Text (which has no underlying source document) make it appear definitive that the final seven years begin the exact moment a particular agreement is signed.
14.17 Deed, Glory God Beyond
That’s why it’s important to know what the Old Greek says:
Old Greek Daniel 9:27
Many will support a ruler/prince who will bring back to life (Mosaic Covenant) rebuilt with length and width according to end time standards after 7 x 70 appointed times (Shmita cycles) also with 62 clansmen (temple guards).Until at the right moment for the consummation of joint sin debt payment, war will be against it, attempting to desertify it. The covenant will be greatly prevailed upon after many weeks.By the time the ‘weeks’ will be taken away, sacrifice, libation and the great sacred thing, it (the Mosaic Covenant) will have reached its perfect/fulfillment.Abomination causing desolation will exist until a joint sin debt payment for public burdens is given – great desertification.
That’s my translation. For the Old Greek itself and my earlier attempts click:
The final 7 years don’t have to begin with the agreement . . .
To keep it short, we shouldn’t use the Masoretic Daniel 9:27 passage as the main foundation piece upon which to put together all the other pieces of our end times prophetic puzzle!The seven year countdown seems to have already begun according to my extensive research.
I think Jesus Christ breaks the first four seals only to allow forces of worldliness/lawlessness and their natural consequences to progress; What I mean is that they’re not the same as when God expresses His personal wrath onto Earth. So, as mentioned above, I call the last 3.5 years of Daniel’s 70th week the GREATEST tribulation. The first four seals seem to set the stage for the Beast system – the greatest deception/delusion and temptation of all time.
14.22 Deed, Glory God Beyond
Recap: The 5th seal reveals the martyrs; The sixth seal reveals the tribulation saints, then . . .
The Sixth Seal Concludes with the Introduction to God’s Wrath!
“Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains,calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”
Revelation 6:15-17
14.23 Deed, Glory God Beyond
It sounds clear that that’s the announcement of the beginning of the first wave of God’s Wrath, which is synonymous with the Day of the Lord!
The sixth seal is also the time when Jesus Christ gathers His greatest harvest of souls, the Wheat Harvest, the main part of His Body.
14.24 Deed, Glory God Beyond
So, in what order do things happens after Jesus Christ breaks the sixth seal?
At the sixth seal, the One-Seated-on-the-Throne and the Lamb are seen up in the heavens by all the terrified unrepentant sinners on Earth as they go through a monumental earthquake combined with terrifying events in the cosmos. Then 144,000 servants of God, from 12 tribes of Jacob, are each given the ‘seal of the living God’ on their foreheads by angels, in order that they may remain unharmed on Earth for awhile longer. Finally an uncountable number of saints, that are said to have come out of the great tribulation, are seen by St. John, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, praising God in heaven!
WRATH – The 7th Seal Releases God’s Trumpet Judgements
14.25 Deed, Glory God Beyond
Seemingly one right after another- the first four trumpets are directed against vegetation, water, marine animals, and the lights in the cosmos. The fifth trumpet gets personal, the abyss is unlocked and opened – demonic locusts come out and attack everybody on earth, except the 144,000 sealed servants of God. Then, after the sixth trumpet 1/3 of humanity, whatever is left of it, is killed by a supernatural evil army led by three unnamed fallen angels that have been released from chains. Throughout the first six trumpets, the main Body of Christ was already gone, and nobody else repented!
One thing I’m leading into trying to show is why it seems extremely unlikely that the abomination of desolation setup event will occur before or at the Sixth Seal . . .
Then, it Gets Interesting:
The parenthetical section between Rev. chap. 9 & 11, before the final trumpet:
In the Book of Revelation, this is the first mention of Jerusalem and the Temple. It’s full of important characters including the Two Witnesses, the Beast coming up from the abyss, satan, the religious Jews and the gentiles.
14.26 Deed, Glory God Beyond
In St. John’s visit to God’s throne room, he was told about the Two Witnesses who will minister to the world with great Holy Spirit power to control forces on Earth. Then they’ll be murdered in the streets of Jerusalem by the Beast after the it emerges from the abyss, where presumably it becomes possessed by satan. The world celebrates. St. John saw the bodies of the Two Witnesses get resurrected and raptured to heaven 3.5 days after their deaths. A great earthquake immediately following that, collapses a tenth of Jerusalem. The people in Jerusalem who remain alive, become terrified and give Glory to the God of heaven! Many Jews flee Jerusalem to the safe place God prepared for them. They only could’ve know about the safe place from Jesus’ Olivet Discourse.
The elimination of the Two Witnesses and their Holy Spirit powers, must be what makes the temple of God accessible to the Beast.
Prior to that time, the Two Witnesses, may have been holding back attempts by the Antichrist/Beast to remove the regular sacrifices and libations at the temple so he could sit in the Holy of Holies proclaiming himself to be God, and to begin to set up his abomination of desolation.
But, this part of the timing of Daniel’s 70th week is tricky. I examine it at the bottom of:
The Kingdom of the World has become the Kingdom of our Lord!
The Seventh Trumpet Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.” And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying, “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign. The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”
Rev. 11: 15-18
14.28 Deed, Glory God Beyond
Yay – Peals rumbles flashes a great earthquake and a great hailstorm! Hallelujah! Back on Earth, the False Prophet is now introduced. The Beast, is seen again, but this time, he’s seen to be raising up from the sea (representing that many peoples support him). And he’s enraged against the people of Jacob/Israel who’d just fled to the mountains where God has prepared a safe place for them, for 1,260 days.
Back to: Might it have been Jesus Christ’s intention to . . .
14.29 Deed, Glory God Beyond
frustrate the understanding of rapture timing using Matthew 24 and Mark 17?
The Mystery and Jesus’ Intention
God our Father’s precious Son, Jesus Christ our precious Lord and Savior seems to have kept some information about His coming to gather His bride and/or church and/or body unknown, at least until after His crucifixion.
Was it because He didn’t want to fully expose His plan to rescue His bride to jealous satan, at least until after He defeated death and won the decisive battle?
Don’t be too surprised by this, remember what Jesus intentionally did by speaking in parables!
St. Paul played the key role in revealing ‘The Mystery of Christ’
St. Paul is writing his epistles while in chains in prison.
14.31 Deed, Glory God Beyond
St. Paul wrote in Ephesians 3:3 “that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. In reading this then, you’ll be able to understand my insight into the ‘mystery of Christ,’ which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now (after Christ’s ascension) having been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. “
There are more powerful supporting verses in Ephesians, but . . .
I’m not in any rush to write those out, because the lead pastor, Pastor Matt at Bethel Grove Bible Church just covered this about St. Paul, very well. I can’t do better right now. Here’s his sermon: Life Against Darkness
As mentioned above, the apostles were recorded as having been mistaken in assuming that second coming was going to happen in their lifetimes; None of them had received the Holy Spirit by the time that Jesus gave His Olivet Discourse. None of them were able to understand certain things, such as what Jesus meant when he said “Destroy this temple and I will rebuild it in three days.” Only Andrew, John, James and Peter were actually present at the Olivet discourse and so Matthew, Mark and Luke seem to have received it by word of mouth.
I’m putting forth the possibility that Jesus knew their limitations and knew that the information He spoke to them in the Olivet Discourse would overwhelm them, but that it would nevertheless be written down, and would provide to the world the overarching order of things. But to the Jews, it would also provide the necessary warnings that apply specifically to them.
