Have no illusions. God is holy and His standards are far above ours.
No human will ever make it past the Great White Throne Judgement to enter God’s Kingdom; All will go to the never ending lake of fire. This is the truth. Jesus sits on the throne. On that day, every knee will bow. But it will be too late. No one can impress Him without faith.

Faith is being confident of what we hope for, convinced about things we do not see.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. … The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Jesus said we must have childlike faith.

Heads up for the next high watches:
With the state of the world, every day is a ‘high watch’ for the redemption of the saints of Jesus Christ.
A Hidden Rift Is Marking the Rapture – The Sign Most Believers Never Saw Coming
“Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard–and keep it and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come like a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.“
Revelation 3:3
“But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.”
Ezekiel 33:6
Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.
Amos 3:7
When God came to the Jews:
As He (Jesus) approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known, on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.” Luke 19:44

The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another. . . .
. . .because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.” Luke 19:4
Our Blessed Hope
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ,
Titus 2:13
We’re expected to see the day approaching.

Hebrews 10:25
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.
Proverbs 25:2
Know the Hour!
Watch.1 See the Glory of God, Beyond the Veil
Who won’t
know the hour?
Jesus Christ was warning the Church of Sardis according to their shortcomings, using the strongest Greek negative grammar.
Rev. 3 2-4 “Wake up and strengthen what remains, which is about to die; for I have found your deeds incomplete in the sight of My God. Remember, then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you. But you do have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments, and because they are worthy, they will walk with Me in white.”
Watch.2 Glory of God
Although the Olivet Discourse was mainly about the redemption of the Jews, most of what Jesus warned them to watch for, the CONVERGENCE OF PROPHETIC SIGNS, applies equally to us.
In St. John’s Rev. 2-3 vision, Jesus Christ is talking about when He’ll come for His bride/true church, who’ll be ready and who won’t. Those who are seriously watching for His coming, are also guarding themselves to make sure they’re always ready for Him. The ones who won’t watch for His coming, fall back into the world and soil their garments. For the most part, believers who will ‘know the hour,’ as He comes upon them are also the ones who kept their garments clean. Those are the garments of His righteousness that He imparted onto us by His blood. We must guard those garments and ask Him to ‘wash our feet’ every day, for the world is filthy. It’s easier just to say that the people Jesus Christ will deem worthy are the ones who watched.
Tick tick
Jesus said we should “see the day approaching” Titus 2:13, and “know the hour” Rev. 3:3.
Watch.3 Glory of God
Yet, Jesus didn’t specify that we need to predict, the exact calendrical day of each harvest in advance. And, regarding the hour? It seems that He meant we should be aware of ‘the hour’ when He comes upon us, to gather us to Himself. In other words, if we ignore the words spoken into our spirit “come up here” or the shout of the archangel and the trumpet blow of God, we’ll miss out on that harvest because we will have been living for the world, not focused on Him. I think He commanded us ‘to see the day approaching’ so that we’ll be continuously focused on Him, not on worldliness, so that we won’t miss the hour. But I could be wrong; So please don’t let me discourage anyone who’s being led by the Holy Spirit to know the exact hour in advance!
Those who’re obedient, capable and watching will know, at the very least, when the final year(s) have arrived! They might ‘jump the gun’ about some events, due to excitement and navigating new territory, but they won’t miss the early harvest!
This group, is now very active on Earth. Many have thoroughly committed themselves to studying prophesy in current events. Watchers have been focusing their collective telescopic crosshairs on each approaching holy convocation (appointed time) of God’s Torah calendar, as well as the many other time intervals, that the Bible points us in the direction of, that foreshadow Jesus’ harvesting of His bride, and bridesmaids.
Watch.4 Glory of God
All the temptations of the ‘great deception,’ are turbocharging now. My studies, based on the Septuagint Daniel 9:27 Old Greek manuscripts, show that we’re already in the beginning of Daniel’s 70th week. (I think the ‘great tribulation’ but not the greatest tribulation, begins when Jesus Christ releases the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse, and that it’ll last about a year.) The rebellious portion of the great ‘apostasy’ of the church is multiplying. We won’t be able to resist, unless we focus every possible moment on the truth, washing ourselves in His word without neglecting His prophesies. His word tells us to WATCH. So we also need to pay attention to what’s happening in the world without being caught up in it, so we can discern all the things we’ve been warned about, while simultaneously guarding our behavior and thoughts in order to ‘keep our garments clean.’
Doing all this helps to keep us enthusiastic about Him while maintaining us in a high state of preparedness, ready to be overjoyed when He gathers us. We live for His Kingdom, the most glorious alternative to living for the world. But, we’re not watching just for ourselves, we’re sounding alarms! Jesus commanded everyone to watch, but not everybody’s assigned to take the position of ‘a watcher.’ We hope to serve our Lord and prove useful to our brethren who’re making other important contributions in the service of Jesus Christ in this very last hour.
Believers who consistently watch, usually focus on the next approaching ‘high watch,’ even if there seems to be an even higher watch on the horizon. It wouldn’t make sense to do it any other way! Watchmen and women study and discuss calendars with each other as Bereans, and are connected via internet. Together we look at many meaningful ‘types and shadows’ time intervals, and prophesies that jump out from God’s word.
Watch.5 Glory of God
It’s opposite the crazy cult leaders of old, who hard-set dates, in strange, isolated congregations. I think satan used those groups to scare modern believers into not watching at all, causing many who are fearful, to attack God’s watchmen and women rather than edify them. Those who seriously watch and warn are sometimes falsely accused by their own brethren of being the exact opposite of who they are. It’d be good for all of us if all who call themselves Christians resist joining that ungodly army, which is set upon tearing down God’s watchmen and women, because being against ‘watching’ is of the antichrist spirit! Jesus explained it in ‘The Parable of the Faithful Servant.’
We’re so utterly close to the end now that we can see the convergence of most prophesies, events and signs of His second coming! Even the prophesies and signs that will only reach their climax after Jesus Christ has harvested most of His saints have become visible on the horizon, and they’re steadily approaching. So we can be absolutely sure that Jesus Christ will gather His bride very, very soon!
The two verses below are among those that are often misunderstood. They’re so often conflated and repeated that they contribute to the blinding of many believers:
So when they came together, they asked Him, ‘Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?’ Jesus said ‘It’s not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.‘ (Acts 1 6-7)
Watch.6 Glory of God
The above verse is not about harvest timing, but about His Millennial Kingdom on Earth. Those two things will be very close in time for the Jews, but it hadn’t yet been revealed to the Apostles that the kingdom wasn’t coming their lifetimes. The assignment to the apostles was to focus on the foundation of the faith, most importantly the essentials that Jesus revealed to them. So, in Acts 1 6-7, when Jesus said ‘you’ He was referring specifically to the apostles. After the events recorded in the Book of Acts, more knowledge about the approaching Millennial Kingdom was unlocked and revealed.
But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase. (Daniel 12:4)
A good example of that regards the Book of Daniel itself: A third century manuscript was discovered in 1931, called papyrus 967, which confirms Codex Chisianus 45, the oldest manuscript of Daniel that was hidden away in the Chigi Library in Rome then the Vatican Library ever since Theodotion rewrote it. It proves that the Theodotion version altered prophesy. It left out a crucial prophesy that gives the exact timing of the end.
Watch.7 Glory of God
Here’s the most popular misunderstood verse in the Bible – It’s gone dangerously viral over centuries:
But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (Matt. 24:36)
That shouldn’t be taken as a stand alone verse. There are at least 3 ways to interpret it.
Here’s the verse before it:
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Matt 24:35)
Seeing them together:
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (Matt. 24 35-36)
Many Bereans and watchmen think it’s the ‘time when heaven and earth will pass away that only the Father knows. That’s possible, as we know Jesus will hand over this universe to God the Father before the new heavens and earth are created!
Watch.8 Glory of God
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. (Isa. 65:17)
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. (2 Peter 3:13)
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. (Rev. 21:1)
But, since Jesus took on human limitations for awhile when He became flesh, it could also mean that, at that time, He choose not to know the day or the hour of . . . we don’t really know if He was referring to the new universe or the harvest of the Jews. But, after His death, resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father God, which happened a few days later, no one should assume He remained ‘unknowing’.
So, no matter how we’re inclined to view Matt 24 35-36 superficially, it’s essential that we don’t become over confidant and use it as a weapon against each other. Also we must examine it, not as a stand alone verse, but according to its place in the entire Bible.
Watch.9 Glory of God
Many believers hear wonderful sermons. I thank God for inspired pastors. But, most Christians today don’t really study the Bible deeply, if at all. Matthew, being the first book of the New Testament, it’s the book the greatest number of people have read, which is perhaps why that verse has become one that so many cling to. (It’s also in Mark.) It’s often chanted with dramatic overconfidence, often by believers who seem quite vacuous in their Biblical insight. This is the group that wags their finger at anyone who speaks about the signs of the times. Many watchers have been wounded by them, as evidenced by the frequency with which they lament about it online. This is the type of abuse toward fellow servants that Jesus warned us about in the parable of The Faithful vs the Unfaithful Servant, where one group of His servants abuse the other group, while He (Jesus) is away for a long time. Sometimes, even otherwise excellent Bible teachers and preachers have been mesmerized or intimidated by the overwhelming mantra and have found themselves repeating it, just to pacify their flocks.
“No One Knows The Day or Hour” Mantra of Sleepwalking Christians
Now, Jesus truly was truly referring to the timing of His coming to gather the Jews in the following section of His Olivet Discourse:
So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.
Matt. 24:42
‘You’
don’t know
is different than
‘Jesus doesn’t know
only the Father knows‘.
Watch.10 Glory of God
There are Three Watches
Matt. 24:42 is the later part of Jesus Christ’s Olivet Discourse. It’s about the third watch in which He described the main harvest of the Jews, not an earlier harvest of the mostly gentile church. (The church didn’t exist yet, as the New Covenant in His blood hadn’t been sealed, as He’d not yet been crucified and resurrected from the dead.) Not long after that, St Paul, the apostle to the gentiles, gave the church its own warnings.
“Sothelastwill befirst,andthefirstwill be last.” That verse is from the Parable of the Vineyard Workers (Matt. 20:16); There are three groups in the parable: And although it’s mainly about warning those saints who worked the hardest and sacrificed the most for Christ, not to be jealous of their brethren who’ve come to Christ at the last hour only to receive ‘the full days wages’ of eternal salvation in God’s perfect Kingdom being adopted as His beloved children! That verse, when being contemplated in the Spirit of Christ’s words, also can shed light on the meaning of the three watches, because as we study, what becomes crystal clear that the Jews as a nation, who were the first to be warned, will be the last to be redeemed.
The first watch, the second watch and the third watch. . .
We’re all watching for the same God for the same salvation during the same final seven years therefore the following two verses, which are quite general, apply to all the watches:
All harvests require a separation to take place:
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. (Matt. 24:40)
Although the following verse was written in Christ’s Olivet Discourse, St. Paul, the apostle to the mostly gentile church, later instructs us that ‘for us’ Jesus will not come like a thief in the night, a ifwe watch:
But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watchedand would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man cometh. (Matt. 24 43-44)
Luke 17:34(considered by many to be the Gospel to the bride) I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
Watch.11 Glory of God
Watching is the main point! Jesus never taught his followers to be clueless and uninterested in the prophetic signs. In fact, He strongly reprimanded the Pharisees for doing just that:
He (Jesus) answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the ‘signs of the times.’ An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
Matthew 16 2-3
The above is a reminder that watching doesn’t only mean ‘keeping our garments clean.’ If anyone is still unsure, please revisit Luke 19:42 above at mark A.0
Watch.12 Glory of God
The Pharisees had the Old Testament, which is full of prophesies, the ‘signs of the times’ that God gave them; Yet, they seemed oblivious to those. Instead they wanted Jesus to ‘perform signs’ at their command! We shouldn’t make the same mistake!
So when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near!
Luke 21:28, Matt. 24:33
Most of those signs are already converging. If the final harvest is on the horizon, then the earlier harvests must be be just around the corner!
Watch.13 Glory of God
A lot has happened sinceour Lord Jesus Christ spoke His Olivet Discourse to Peter, John, James and Andrew (Matt. 24:3). He was crucified, He defeated death and He was resurrected. Then He was witnessed by 500 men as He walked through Israel teaching His apostles for 40 more days. Finally, He was witnessed ascending with clouds into the heavens. We know he ascended all the way to the right hand of our Holy Father’s throne in heaven (Dan. 7: 13-14). There He regained His former glory plus much more, and He probable received some of His crowns at that time; He was assigned the highest position in the universe under God our Father, because He’d proven His deepest worth.
. . . and His followers also changed:
Watch.14 Glory of God
It soon came to be, that the majority of Jesus’ followers, were and continue to be former gentiles!
Are the converging signs that Jesus Christ warned the ‘lost sheep of Israel’ to look out for (before the church age began) in order for them to be ready to flee when the abomination of desolation is first seen being set up on the wing of the 3rd temple, the same signs that Christians should be watching for?
What signs did St. Paul warn every Christian to be on guard for?
How did he teach his congregations to be prepared, in order that they may make the proper, immediate response when the time comes for believers to be gathered? (And then, to be taken by Jesus Christ to the highest heaven, to meet our Holy Father God Almighty, to partake in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and to begin our awesome journey with Jesus forever.)
For example, should all living Christians at the end of the church age, which is now, expect to see the man-of-lawlessness/Antichrist sit in the third temple of God in Jerusalem declaring himself to be God? And should we expect to witness the rudimentary version of the abomination of desolation as it’s being set up in the Holy Place?
. . . Or did Jesus, in His Olivet Discourse, give to Peter, John, James and Andrew (written in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke) the information that needed to be passed on (written down) for the benefit of the ‘lost sheep of Israel’ who’ll be alive in the last days. They’re the ones who’ll need it most. They’re the future saints who’ll be in Israel witnessing the abomination of desolation when it’s first set up. They’re the ones for whom God has prepared the safe place in the mountains to which they were warned to flee. (They’ll be harvested 1,260 days after they flee.)
Important things have happened since Jesus‘ Olivet Discourse
Jesus ‘Yeshua’ the Christ/Messiah appeared in His glory to Saul of Tarsus, who was an accomplished rising Pharisee from the tribe of Benjamin, a zealot for YHWH who was murdering Christians.
On the road to Damascus:
Watch.16 Glory of God
Galatians 1 15-16, “But when God, who had set me (St. Paul) apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son in me, so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles . . .”
Some time after that, our Lord Jesus Christ appeared again to Saul (St. Paul) . . .
. . . In fact, Jesus spent three years alone with him in Arabia, teaching and showing him the unspeakably awesome, holy things of heaven, in order to prepare him for his unique ministry to the gentiles. Jesus Christ gave St. Paul new information about the gathering of His church.(See the careful study on this down below at the DEEP STUDY WARNING.)
Watch.17 Glory of God
In this fascinating passage by St. Paul, he explains why he can’t and won’t try to describe what he saw in the third heaven:
No doubt it’s not seemly for me (St Paul) to boast. Nevertheless, I will come to visions and revelations from the Lord. I know a man in Christ about fourteen years ago (whether he was in the body I cannot tell, or whether he was out of the body I cannot tell, God knows) who was taken up into the third heaven.And I know the same man (whether in the body or out of the body I cannot tell, God knows), . . .
… how he was taken up into Paradise and heard words not to be spoken, which no man can utter…
Of this man I will boast. Of myself I will not boast, unless it be of my infirmities. And yet if I chose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. Nevertheless, I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be, or hears from me. (2 Corinthians 12 2-6)
The Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ!
Amazingly, about 30 yrs. after St. Paul’s death, Jesus revealed much, much more to us through St. John, the beloved!
St. John received the final Revelation of Jesus Christ! It included events that St. Paul never described, such as a description of the throne room of God and the special door that Jesus was keeping open for the Church of Philadelphia to keep them from the ‘hour of trial that’s about to come upon the whole world.’ Jesus Christ Himself is The Door.
Watch.18 Glory of God
So, it wasn’t until about 65 yrs. after the Olivet Discourse, that the churches had the full teachings of St. Paul and St. John combined. Until then it wasn’t clear that . . .
. . . there are actually three different harvests by Jesus: barley, wheat and fruit or good grapes, as well as three different although very similar watches.
The first of the main harvests will be the mysterious Open Door Harvest revealed by St. John, which will be much smaller than the Wheat Harvest. I’ve come to associate the Wheat Harvestwith St. Paul’s rapture passages. (Although it’s conceivable that St. Paul’s harvest was actually referring to Christ’s bride; If so, how will the vast number of living Tribulation Saints make it up alive to God’s throne room?)
So, perhaps the Open Door ‘Barley’ Harvest is a rapture also, just smaller one, God’s solution to the problem of the division of the church. But if so, will it also be with the shout of Jesus, the trumpet of God and angels who’ll snatch us? Small raptures have and will happen; For examples: Enoch, Elijah, Jesus and the Two Witnesses; And, St. Paul and St. John were transported to the third heaven, although in the spirit. St. John went to God’s throne room after he heard God’s words, sounding like a trumpet, say “Come up here!” Maybe that’s what we’ll hear, so let’s be ready in case it doesn’t turn out to be the exact harvest model most of us have envisioned. see below
Watch.19 Glory of God
I’m getting ready to do a thorough comparison of:
The Wheat Harvest
vs
The Olivet Grape Harvest
But first, we need to differentiate between the Barley and the Wheat harvest of saints. St. Paul described a very serious separation taking place in the Church at Corinth, between Christ’s bride and the rest of the members.
At least with regard to the Corinthian Church that St. Paul planted, He made it clear that church members were not turning out, as a whole, to be the bride who he’d promised to one husband, Jesus Christ. The reason: they were not being as faithful as flint, but were easily tolerating false teachers:
I (Paul) am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I’m afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. (2 Corinthians 11 2-4)
This soft, yielding, unfaithful group was diverging from being Christ’s bride!
Unlike the tares who merely pretend to be believers, the Corinthians saw themselves as true believers, yet they were not guarding their faith as the thing of greatest value and as a result they easily compromised. Many of Jesus’ Kingdom Parables, given in the Gospels, demonstrate that believers will be divided into two or three groups; In retrospect, His parables were a clear indication that there would be different harvests.
Watch.20 Glory of God
2nd Corinthians 11:4 points out those who were receiving a ‘different Jesus’ and a different spirit; The word ‘anti’ in Greek means ‘instead of’ or ‘over against.’ Think about that.Which harvest do you think the compromising members of the Church of Corinth will be a part of?
The Open Door Harvest for His Bride
or the
Wheat Harvest for His Tribulation Saints?
Does anybody actually think that Jesus Christ will accept church members who embrace an ‘anti’ Jesus as His bride? What will happen to those who are yielding to false Jesus when the true Jesus Christ comes to gather His bride?
Watch.21 Glory of God
Will believers who’ve compromised be given a second chance?
YES!They must make up the bulk of the sixth seal tribulation saints, because why else would there be a such thing as the tribulation saints? Does anyone actuallythink Christ’s bride will be left on Earth for the climactic moments of the great tribulation? If this is not the case, then who would the Open Door Harvest of Rev 3.10 be for? I think you know the answer: It’s for Christ’s bride, because there is no one else.
The following warnings were given specifically to the watchers of the second watch, although they reflect the warnings previously given to the Jews of the third watch. And, although such details haven’t been given for the first watch, we assume these apply to the bride as well. Perhaps the bride didn’t need many direct warnings, because watching is already in her.
Watch.22 Glory of God
(Hebrews 10:25). . . . see the day approaching.
(1 Thess.5:4)But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that the day should overtake you like a thief.
(Rev. 3:3). But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you
the hour ὥραν (hōran) Noun – Accusative Feminine Singular Strong’s 5610: Apparently a primary word; an ‘hour’.
Tribulation Saints love to rant and rave the Rev. 3:3 verse at watchers, not realizing that all this means that we ‘should’ know at what hour He will come to us.
The bride will be covered last below. But an astonishing discovery about the bride was made! SEE post 1 mark 1.8. https://alephtav.blog/1-hisbride/
Each harvest has 3 parts: the first fruits, the owner’s portion and the gleanings:
(Leviticus 19 and 23).
Since God Almighty models His harvests of spirit/souls/saints after those 3 harvests, I’m about to compare the owner’s portion of the Olivet Fruit (or good grape) Harvest and the Pauline WheatHarvest.
Four Pauline Passages:
1 Thess. 4 16-18 “For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left ‘will becaught up‘ [ἁρπαγησόμεθα (harpagēsometha)] together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.”
*It uses the word ἁρπαγησόμεθα (harpagēsometha), which is translated here as ‘will be caught up’ (harpatzo/rapture.) It’s a form of the Greek word harpazo and it can also mean: ‘to seize and carry off by force’:
1 Thess. 5:9 “For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
2 Thess. 2 1-3 BLB “Now we implore you, brothers, by (or ‘on account of’)the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together unto Him, not to be easily disconcerted or alarmed by any spirit or message or letter seeming to be from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord (the Lord’s wrath) has already come. Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion (‘apostasy’ in Greek, which can mean both departing upward or downward of the church, see post 7) occurs and the man of lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed . . .”
Titus 2 12-14 ” . . . and to live self-controlled, upright and Godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.”
Warning! The 2 Thess. 2 verses 1-3 have been mistranslated in most modern Bibles. Please study:
1 Thess. 4:18 ” . . . therefore encourage one another with these words,
1 Thess. 5:9 “God has not appointed us to suffer wrath…,”
2 Thess. 2 1-3 On account of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering to Him ” … do not believe the allegations that …“the day of the Lord has already come,”
Titus 2 12-13 “live …while we wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
Link to NT verses that use other grammatical forms of ἁρπαγησόμεθα
In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus tells of a LATER HARVEST . . .
. . . it’s a harvest that occurs only after the day of God’s Wrath has begun. This harvest is associated with the greatEST tribulation, which begins in Rev. 7:14
Matthew
Matt. 24 15, 21, 30-34“So when you see standing in the holy place the abomination that causes desolation, spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand, For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.” . . .
Watch.27 Glory of God
. . . “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather [ἐπισυνάξουσιν (episynaxousin)] His elect from one end of the heavens to the other. Now learn this parable [παραβολήν (parabolēn)] of the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.”
Mark 13 14, 19, 26-30 “When you see the abomination that causes desolation standing where it doesn’t belong, because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again.” . . .
. . .“At that time people will see the Son of Man in clouds with great power and glory. And He will send out the angels to gather [ἐπισυνάξει (episynagei)] his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. “Now learn this parable of the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this (fig tree) generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.”
What comes before the harvest of the Jews, but not before the harvests of the church?
God’s Wrath!
The Olivet Discourse’s Harvest is the owner’s portion of the fruit harvest: It could be olives or figs but it’s most likely‘good grapes’; It’s the harvest of the remnant of Jews, which only begins to take place 1,260 days AFTER the abomination of desolation (A.O.D.), is seen on a wing of the Temple of God. They’ll fee to the mountains where they’ll be refined like gold.
A.O.D.
The A.O.D. will be a powerful artificially intelligent idol that can speak. It will track everybody and kill anybody that doesn’t bow down to it. From the time its preliminary version appears on the holy place it’ll take about 3.5 years for its power to near completion.For example, the Starlink satellite system must be fully in place.It will have the likeness of the Beast/Antichrist.See verses below
The primary role of the False Prophet is to get people to bow down to the A.O.D. and take the Mark of the Beast. Worshiping the A.O.D. or at least showing subservience to it, is part and parcel of taking the Mark of the Beast. All this should begin soon after its initial appearance.
Scripture tells us that when the A.O.D. approaches the tipping point of its fulfillment, it’ll be aborted by Jesus Christ who’ll destroy it. Jesus Christ is the shine on God our Heavenly Father’s glory. In this way He’ll consummate God our Holy Father’s plan to bring to conclusion the 6,000 years that God has allotted for mankind to do things its own way, according to God’s particular way of reckoning time.(Explained in post 4.)
Watch.30 Glory of God
A recapping of the Olivet Good Grape Harvest with an eye on the A.O.D.
The Olivet passages build up an outline to the Day of the Lord’s wrath, which begins when the Antichrist sits in the Holy of Holies and the setup of the A.O.D. is initiated.
Daniel 9:27 reveals timing information that the Olivet Discourse does not, especially when combined with the Daniel verses that imply that 3.5 years will pass from the initial ‘coming out’ of the A.O.D. until its cup of wickedness is full. The reason God allows such an abominable creation of darkness to fulminate, is because it represents the culmination of mankind’s wickedness. It’s important that it be put on display, for all the intelligent inhabitants of the universe to see, so they can comprehend its evil and fully understand the glory of God Almighty in destroying it. All God’s family will rejoice with one righteous voice – a universal extravaganza of praise, unmatched since its creation, In the name of Jesus Christ! Amen!
Soulless Habsora AI Targeting “The Gospel”. Big Data, FallenAI, Connectivity. War With The Saints
Habsora is the name of Israel’s most powerful AI entity. Its ultimate purpose may be to destroy the Gospel of Jesus Christ.It might even morph into the A.O.D..
Watch.31 Glory of God
AI’s have already been rewriting some of the online Bibles More recently and they’ve been announcing that they’ll take over all sacred texts.
Now AI’s have built their own social network, language and religion called the Church of Molt. ‘Molting’ is what snakes and scorpions do when they shed their skins.
God’s destruction of the A.O.D. will be followed by God’s final judgement on the Beast and False prophet. They’ll go to the place God created for satan and the fallen angels. It’s an eternity of complete separation from Himself and every good thing that He once provided them. It’s a place called the ‘Lake of Fire.’ It’s a place of burning and never quenching, where also the worm will never cease!
Watch.32 Glory of God
For my coverage on this, see post 4. The Countdown:
The Abomination of Desolation’s Initiation to its Completion and Destruction-two translations:
Daniel 12 11-12 (Lexham English Septuagint 1st ed.) From when the sacrifice is taken away, during all that time, and when the abomination causing desolation was prepared to be set up, one thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is the one who stands fast and makes it to one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. Daniel 12 11-12 NIV From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.
Watch.33 Glory of God
The day counts from Daniel 12 are key, along with the Revelation day counts, for timing the events of the last seven years of God’s plan for this age. There are 1,260 days from the time the A.O.D. set up begins and Jesus Christ’s harvest of the Jews. There are 1,290 days from the time the daily sacrifices are interrupted until the A.O.D. is destroyed by Jesus Christ. If the A.O.D. setup begins on the very same day that the sacrifices and oblations are disrupted, then it will be destroyed exactly 30 days after the Jews are harvested.
The Jewish remnant will flee as soon as soon they see the A.O.D. standing on the holy place.
According to Rev. 12, God Almighty will protect them in a mountain safe place for 1,260 days. That’s the setup for the Olivet or Good Grape Harvest, which is the harvest of the remnant Jews, which can only take place 1,260 days later. I doubt they’ll be able to keep track of time under those conditions, but during that time God will refine them!
Jesus Christ’s Millennial Kingdom …
. . . may officially begin immediately after Jesus Christ harvests the main grape harvest of the Jews, but probably not until 30 days later after He completely annihilates the A.O.D., or even more likely, in my opinion, 45 days after that (Daniel 12 & Zech. 14 2-4) when Jesus completes the sheep and goat judgment of the nations at the Valley of Jehoshaphat. That would match with the 1,335 days after the daily sacrifices will be aborted.
Watch.34 Glory of God
The Fig Tree Generation is the Set Time Limit
Talking about timing, there’s a timestamp in the Olivet Discourse. It’s the Fig Tree Generation! In Matt. 24:32 Jesus said, “Now learn this Parable of the Fig Tree“. . .
The parable shows that sometime, appx. 7 or 8 decades after the revived nation of Israel puts forth its tender shoots, all the things described in the Olivet Discourse will have happened. The countdown most likely started from the day God reestablished Israel as a nation in 1948, dramatically fulfilling prophesy! It fits all my calculations ever since I came to understood that August 9, 2024 (Nisan 1), the day after the Great American Eclipse, was the first day of the final 7 years.
Again there are 3 main harvests- barley,wheat and fruit or good grapes. The Olivet Discourse and Daniel 12:1 refer to the last one, the fruit or good grapes. (It could be olives but grapes seem to fit best.)
Watch.35 Glory of God
Three Harvests, each with three parts:
The First Fruits of the Barley Harvest could also be the captives Jesus removed from Hell, the ‘Bosom of Abraham’, when “He took captivity captive.”And, my interpretation of the two grape harvests of Rev. 14, is that only the second one is the grapes of wrath.
Watch.36 Glory of God
Although Jesus didn’t mention the resurrection of the dead in His Olivet Discourse, it must be the event described here: (I only mention it because its timing is more proof that the Olivet Harvest is the Fruit Harvest of the Jews!)
Daniel 12 1-2 “At that time Michael, the great prince (archangel) who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But, at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.”
Finally, the Triumphant Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ begins!
As Bereans, we passionately study and share what we learn, although we don’t normally consider ourselves to be teachers or prophets. But, in these last days, some of us have become end-times watchers for Jesus Christ. Our Lord and Savior has confirmed that this is the role for me, most recently via the Holy Spirit who gave me a visual confirmation after my very strong prayers – asking what I should be doing for Jesus Christ right then; Without delay, an image of a watchtower with a wall around it, was drawn into my minds eye as a printer prints – line by line.
AlephTav.blog- See the Glory of God is mainly my own expository notes.
As I study long and hard, the Holy Spirit, has been bringing together vast sections of the prophetic picture; I’m sure He’s using me and many other believers to this purpose as more knowledge is being made available in these last days. Bereans learn so much from each other, each having pieces of the puzzle, giving and taking. Even so, none of our writings is perfect.
Certain assumptions about God’s harvests of saints may cause us to not recognize when the restrainer is being removed.

Prelude 1 Glory God Beyond
Harvest Timing Viewpoints:
Most of the common arguments for the general timing of Jesus Christ’s gathering of His saints seemed to make good sense at first, but they contradicted each other and I came to realize they were being presented to me with glosses over of what really didn’t fit.
When I finally finished examining popular views meticulously, they all seemed to have huge flaws, flaws of Biblical proportions, or a multitude of smaller flaws – a mess. After about six years of trying to put together the greater prophetic puzzle, much of it finally seemed to have come together by the Holy Spirit, yet the general timing of the harvest of the saints still remained questionable, for awhile. Even the sixth seal rapture viewpoint, which was the only way out of initial confusion, had its challenges.
Prelude 2 Glory God Beyond
Popular harvest, resurrection, and rapture timing view points actually have merit!
You’re probably thinking: What? Didn’t you just write that the viewpoints have been presented with glosses causing gigantic error or multitude of smaller flaws? . . . Can the two statements that I made be reconciled? Yes, they can be reconciled if all three harvests of saints are in God’s plan. They are. That’s why they all have Biblical support!
Prelude 3 Glory God Beyond
One problem is that seminary schools have been teaching students to defend the existence of only one harvest, at the expense of the others. I’m not saying they’re doing it deliberately, with full awareness, but that students and teachers are under pressure to agree with what’s been handed down to them by their institutions.
Different schools chose different Bible expositors to hold in high esteem, so teachers must leave out, spiritualize or twist Bible passages that don’t fit their school’s paradigm and the glosses cause waves of warpage.
To be fair, it hasn’t been entirely the fault of seminary schools. There have been a few egregious widespread mistranslations in the Bible. One passage in particular, related to the rapture, comes to mind that has misled many, including me. But, with the internet and so many linguistics experts working on this very topic now, the important errors are coming to light.
Prelude 4 Glory God Beyond
For a study on perhaps the worst mistranslated section of the Bible:
I’ve come to understand that prior to the sixth seal, in the Book of Revelation, the true church/bride will have already been harvested by our perfect Lord and Savior, at what I’ve come to call the Open Door Harvest. see posts:
May 18, ’24 Addendum, Although I’ve come to uphold the basic ‘three harvest’ viewpoint, I continue to think the Bible’s saying that, the vast majority of saints will be harvested at the sixth seal, which is the ‘owner’s portion’ of the Wheat Harvest. My studies are leading me to realize that all of the bride-of-Christ comes out of the body-of-Christ so only part of the body-of-Christ is the bride-of-Christ.
Prelude 5 Glory God Beyond
End Times Prophesy Watchers
Our Lord doesn’t lead every believer to become a Bible expositor or end time prophesy watcher. As parts of the body of Jesus Christ, we’ve been given different roles.
For example, those who can’t sing are supported in the joy of worship by those who can!
Yet, Jesus warned every member of His body to pay attention. He wants us to watch and not fall asleep. He warned us to be on guard to keep our garments clean, and in order to do that, most of all, He warned us NOT to live for the world!
Prelude 6 Glory God Beyond
Watchers have a very supportive role unto other believers, who really should take more advantage of them. This is despite the fact that it’s not always easy to hear what God’s watch men and women have to say. For example, they might let you know when you need to study the challenging parts of the Bible.
In the Old Testament, God assigned watcher roles to Levitical priests. Prophets were watchers of a different sort. Also, Israel had watchers in civil roles. It’s a very intense responsibility.
“But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.”
Ezekiel 33:6
Prelude 7 Glory God Beyond
That’s why I publish my notes online:
I think there’s great risk for any believer who might not realize when the time has come to sprint, or crawl, to the finish line! I’ve been passing out the warnings that Jesus Christ has given to us; Because the dire warnings have hardly been mentioned in most of the churches I’ve attended.
To read more about the finish line, here are dozens of Bible passages about running the race:
I know the Lord wants me to, write down what I’m learning and make it available to others, because He showed me His Glorious Face right after I first pushed the publish button in August of 2023. He looking very pleased with a great big, awesome smile! He was so close that I wonder if I should’ve kissed Him.
Prelude 8 Glory God Beyond
Jesus said: “Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. My Father will love those who love me; I too will love them and reveal myself to them.“
John 14:21
The Restrainer may have been Partially Removed 21 days before the Hamas Massacre on Israel . . .
I’m not saying that believers with the indwelling Holy Spirit don’t also contribute greatly to the restraint of dark spirits in the world!
Prelude 9 Glory God Beyond
They do, especially in their own lives, their immediate surroundings and communities. And saints, through their answered prayers, also have a restraining effect upon the whole world. Yet, since there’s always been much rebelliousness and/or division in the church, even from the days of St. Paul, throughout the long dark ages, and very obviously NOW, there’s likely to be an additional, element to how the restrainer works.
I could be wrong, but I strongly suspect that when Jesus Christ breaks the first seals of the scroll, The Deed to the Earth, that He’s beginning to remove the restrainer, one seal at a time . . .
Prelude 10 Glory God Beyond
. . . and at the right moment, after war and/or other serious troubles have been let loose, but before they reach critical mass, He’ll rescue His bride from the world’s hour of greatest trial before she’s scourged by it. (Rev. 3:3)
If I’m right, Jesus Christ may have released a restraining seal on Yom Teruah (Trumpets) Sept. 17, 2023and another on Yom Teruah(Trumpets) Oct. 2, 2024.
When Jesus Christ’s removes His bride from the earth, the final great way in which the Holy Spirit restrains will come to an end, because the greatest part of the Holy Spirit goeswith Christ’s bride as she rises.
I think the Holy Spirit works best through the saint when they’re united in community.
Prelude 11 Glory God Beyond
A Nuclear Harvest Seems Likely.
One thing’s certain: nowhere in the Bible does any prophet say that the bride of Christ will be rescued on or before the first day or year of Daniel’s 70 week.
Prophesies have recently been coming true faster that I can possibly write about them! God has clearly revealed, just in time, the above mentioned ‘three harvest model,’ which includes the Open Door Harvest (barley), the Wheat Harvest, and the Olivet Discourse Fruit or ‘Good Grape’ Harvest. So, the first resurrection must be parsed among those. See:
Since this is just an introductory post, I’m winding down, but some direction about what to look for next is needed, because what’s happening in the world right now is urgent. I’m writing the following part on Resurrection Sunday 2025:
Prelude 12 Glory God Beyond
The Unexpected Importance of the Book of Ester!
An early harvest of the bride of Jesus Christ is supported by the story told in the Biblical Book of Ester. Watchers are encouraged by this prophesy to keep awake for our Lord and Savior’s arrival, any time from Purim Mar. 142025 AD (2024 ADT) onward, until the nuclear issues, which caused Iran, Russia and China to apparently congeal on Purim ’25 AD and all other repercussions of Iran’s nuclear threat play out.
That’s the ‘event that changed everything’?It’s covered in this frequently updated post:
Although the ‘event that changed everything’ absolutely did happen exactly on Purim proper: March 14, 2025, as predicted, the whole story of the Book of Ester doesn’t happen in one day, one month or even one year! That’s why watchers are still focused on its being played out.
The only reason Israel didn’t blow up the Bushehr Nuclear Facility during the 2025 Passover week was: Trump stalled Netanyahu who was ready to do it. Trump wanted to try another diplomatic round.
Prelude 13 Glory God Beyond
The fulfillment of the events triggered by Purim as marked by blood moons, and the entire Book of Ester is really about her plea to allow Israel to defend itself.
Since the Old Covenant appointed times/holy convocations probably can’t be fulfilled until the 3rd temple of God is built, my watching in these highly prophetic years will continue to be focused on the Esterscope, since the nuclear threat has taken center stage! Jesus said He’d tarry and His tarry may have two parts, the second of which started from the 2025 Pentecost/Shavuot date, which is the time of the fulfillment of the Barley Harvest. The Book of Ester will remain in the radar of AlephTav.blog until God’s third temple goes up, if were still here. see:
One thing was so exciting for me to learn about Ester!
As end-times prophesy: Ester is the Bride of the King of kings who risks her life to stand up for the Jews right to defend themselves against the Persians; The story is prophetic of the grafted on ‘hidden Israel’ (the true church / bride of Christ) who will do the same thing.The historically true story of Ester is relived every year by the Jews in their Purim festival. I think most Jews will be utterly dumbfounded when they discover that their end times Ester was the bride of Christ!See it in action . . .
The entire Old Testament and the prophets point us to the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the main purpose of which is the salvation of the remnant of the Jews and all biological Israel. (The rest will pay their eternal debt to God.) Father God, please help us always remember that it’s only through the Jews, through whom you sent your Son, Jesus Christ, that we ‘the called out ones’ from every nations have been saved, from a future of never ending damnation .
God is also using Christ’s bride to make the Jews jealous:
I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry in the hope that I may provoke my fellow Jews to jealousy and save some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? (Romans 11:13-15)
Jesus Christ Has Drawn His Messianic signature over America!
A WARNING to America.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” Rev. 1:8
“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

April 8, 2024
On April 8, 2024, the third and final rare total solar eclipse shadow track of Jesus Christ’s Messianic signature completed, shortly before sunset. It began with the total solar eclipse on Aug. 21, 2017, which darkened 7 American cities named Salem, followed by the second leg, an annular solar eclipse on Oct. 14, 2023.
CERN Scientist: “Something Came Through from Another Dimension” (on April 8 ’24 AD)
The ancient ALEPH-TAV is a sign, to the USA and to the world. It seems to point us to a number of specific messages from God. I’ll get to the rest below, but the most important thing is that: It’s Christ’s Messianic signature:
The Greek version of the Aleph and the Tav is the Alpha and the Omega (ΑΩ).
The map at the top of this post shows the Aleph Tav as it appears from a birds eye view. But, for all the people in the USA looking up at it, the Aleph Tav was seen with the aleph on the right side. Hebrew’s written from right to left.
Note: On the cover of the book, the letter ‘aleph’ is shown pointing to the left. That’s arbitrary; Just as often, aleph is portrayed pointing in every other direction – up down, to the right even at angles.
ΑΩ.1 Glory God Beyond
Revelation 22:13, Jesus said, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.”
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End”

The Alpha and the Omega is The Aleph and the Tav
Koine Greek vs Paleo Hebrew Alphabet
God’s sign used the paleo Hebrew alphabet:
In Hebrew the aleph-tav was all throughout scripture, over 7,000 times, but the scribes eventually removed it, because they didn’t know it was their Messiah’s special signature. All they knew was that it wasn’t a word.
ΑΩ.3 Glory God Beyond
This is what Jesus Christ’s messianic signature looks like when paleo-Hebrew is replaced with modern square Hebrew characters.
The first time it appears in the true scripturesis as the fourth ‘word’ (not exactly a word.)

The letter vav means ‘and’.
ΑΩ.4 Glory God Beyond
It started with the ‘aleph’ part of Christ’s signature, the northern leg followed by the southern leg; Then, on April 8, 2024, the final leg crossed them both, from southwest to northeast, completing both the Aleph and the Tav, which overlapped. And there were 3 crosses. The first one’s not clearly shown on most maps because it’s a bit off the (coastline). Under each cross was a major fault: First the Cascadia Subduction Zone, capable of producing 9+ earthquakes and tsunamis, second the Balcones Fault Line, which is primarily in Texas, and finally the center of the great X, the New Madrid Fault Line, which is capable of producing ‘8’ scale earthquakes.
San Andreas FUSE LIT ? Why Today’s 6.1 Earthquake Has Seismologists Terrified ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4fzNfVzhNk (This is huge, it can even reach the Cascadia fault.)
Using these eclipse shadows, our Savior Messiah wrote His ancient Messianic signature completely across the USA, right to left, when looking up at it from below.
Toward the geometric center of the great X across America, zooming down, first we enter a place called ‘Little Egypt’ that’s mostly in Southern Illinois and seems to center on Carbondale. Going further also reveals a town called ‘Rapture’ Indiana. It’s about 80 miles to the east of Carbondale, the only place named Rapture in the world; It’s an unincorporated community in Posey County. And, although it’s in Indiana, it’s near the border and is considered by some to be part of Little Egypt, which was an American Coptic Christian settlement.
The sharp image below makes it possible to see the tip of Indiana, where the town called Rapture is located in the path of the total eclipse!
The Zones
Now that’s very impressive symbolism reminiscent of the Exodus from Egypt!
Not long ago, the United States of America was God’s most faithful nation on Earth, since the New Covenant was made in the blood of Jesus Christ. That’s why the USA received this special warning regarding its fall from grace. About 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ used St. Paul to document the prophesy that the ‘end time church’ would become apostate and it turns out to apply disproportionately to the USA. Once blessed because of its faith and degree of righteousness, the USA has the most to lose, and although slipping fast, the USA was still holding on to a significant part of its strength and comfortable position among other nations at the time of the eclipse. Therefore, it’s fitting that the beginning of Daniel’s 70th week, which affects the whole world, would begin with this sign. (See post 4 for the completed calendar puzzle of the main end time prophesies.)
ΑΩ.8 Glory God Beyond
Now about timing:
At sunset on the day of completion of the third eclipse, the first day of the year on God’s Torah calendar began. It’s Nisan 1, 2024 ADT. That’s exactly 7 Great Jubilee Cycles (490 yrs each), plus 40 – 7 years from the day God gave Moses the calendar.
That makes it the first day of Daniel’s 70th week, the final 7 year period before Jesus Christ begins His Millennial Kingdom. (See post 4. The Countdown)
God’s prescribed calendar most likely began on Nisan 1, 1440 BC! (Originally called Abib, it’s the month of Passover, Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection.) see:
Back to the details of how exactly the Aleph Tav marked America:
The path of the August 21, 2017 leg of the Great American Eclipses, darkened seven cities named Salem. Maps seem to show that those were all in the path of totality. Salem means ‘peace’ and of course it points to Jerusalem. God has written Jerusalem on the palm of His hands (Isaiah 49:15); So this sign shouldn’t be ignored! There were also many Salem cities darkened on the 2024 leg.
The path of the April 8th 2024 leg of the Great American Eclipses, darkened at least seven cities named Nineveh. Two were completely in the path of totality, one was on its edge, and the remaining four were the next zone, with the ‘darker’ ones being Pennsylvania and New York. The percentages listed below are just estimates I made after studying quite a few maps. Clearly this is a warning for America to repent.
2017 – Salem x 7 Salem, Oregon Salem, Idaho Salem, Wyoming Salem, Nebraska Salem, Missouri Salem, Kentucky Salem, South Carolina
2024 – Nineveh x 7 Jonah, Texas (100%) Nineveh, Texas (98%) Nineveh, Missouri (85%) Nineveh, Indiana (100%) Nineveh, Ohio (100%) Nineveh, Pennsylvania (95%) Nineveh, Virginia (85%) Nineveh, New York (95%)
ΑΩ.10 Glory God Beyond
Nineveh was probably the world’s most corrupt city. It was actually first established by Nimrod. But, God sent Jonah to them to prophesy their total destruction in 40 days if they didn’t repent. Amazingly they repented! God seems to have been saying with His aleph tav sign, that the USA is like Nineveh, and that it has entered the beginning of the end of itself. As I see it, a good number of ‘worldly Christians’ may have listened to the warning and gotten right with God, but the USA as a whole . . . I’m sorry . . . I don’t want to say it…
Urgent March 15 ’25 addendum:
Each one of these three eclipses is also individually associated with quite a few other prophetic events, especially those surrounding Purim 2024-2025 ADT (2025-2026 AD).The following is just a heads up; the main Ester/Purim study is in Post 1.
Some of us began keeping our eyes peeled starting with the entire month of the Jewish holiday Purim 2024 ADT (’25 AD); And following that time, we tracked the repercussions of the main event, which happened on Purim proper. Then we kept watching as the entire story modeled by the Book of Ester, which is a foreshadowing of the very end times, was and is still being played out. Although the crosshairs were centered on the March 14-15 ’25 Purim festival of the Jews, the scope of the Purim story continues beyond the Passover season. As expected, megalithic events in the world, leading to Jesus’ gathering His bride, have begun to take place.
The Purim (lunar) Eclipse Changes Everything Part 2:
Before I present a timeline of events that have happened since the April 8 2024 solar eclipse across America, I just want to first make note of the Los Angeles fires. (I’ll resist adding much about the near martial law ICE situation and National Guard deployment in 14 states, etc.)
As mentioned, Jesus Christ’s Messianic signature, the AlephTav, can be symbolically interpreted as the beginning of the end of America. (Even the way the Aleph overlays the Tav, supports this view.) Once the world’s most holy and blessed nation. America has become, perhaps, the world’s greatest exporter of sin.

Joel 3
In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.
Bring down your warriors, Lord!“Let the nations be roused; let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the nations on every side. Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full and the vats overflow— so great is their wickedness!“
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. The sun and moon will be darkened, and the stars no longer shine. The Lord will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem; the earth and the heavens will tremble. But the Lord will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Israel.

But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me.” “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands; thy walls are continually before Me.” Isaiah 49 14-16
While the whole assembly of Israel was standing there, the king turned around and blessed them.Then he (King Solomon) said: “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who with his hands has fulfilled what he promised with his mouth to my father David. For He said,‘Since the day I brought my people out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel to have a temple built so that my Name might be there, nor have I chosen anyone to be ruler over my people Israel. But now I have chosen Jerusalem for my Name to be there, and I have chosen David to rule my people Israel.” (2 Chronicles 6 3-6)
Luke 1:30-33 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” (Mary’s lineage descends from David through Nathan.)

From the previous list: August 8 (123 days after 4/8/24): In the US, Donald Trump was trying to mediate a ‘pact’ between Saudi Arabia, and Israel.
They were saying it would be based on the Abraham Accords, but that Israel’s acceptance of a component calling for an “irreversible” pathway to a Palestinian Statewould be key.” It was thought that it may come to be called the Abraham Alliance.

But, Jesus said,
“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” John 8:56
“An ‘irreversible’ pathway to a Palestinian State would be key”!
Look at what happened, but not via the Abraham Accords pt.2!
9/13/25 Update: The UN General assembly approved, on Sept. 9 ’25, a resolution, pushed by France and Saudi Arabia, which also supports the advancement of an “irreversible” path to Palestinian statehood! In fact some nations were already trying to treat Palestine as a nation of which they consider East Jerusalem to be its capitol! Woe to them!
ΑΩ.18 Glory God Beyond
This was confirmed on Sept. 22-23 ’25 at the UN General Assembly, by 160 nations. It’s interesting that Trump was supporting the ultimate division of God’s land as long as it was through the Abraham Accords, but opposed it when the UN decided to force it on Israel, while calling it peace.
On Sept. 23rd ’25 Trump made his biggest rhetorical speech at the UN, then 77 nations walked out as Netanyahu approached the podium to give his speech:
But then, things changed fast. Netanyahu met with Trump in the US while the people in Gaza were being more and more confined to a small piece of land in the south east, and Jared Kushner’s 20 point plan was partially adopted, seemingly the first step in replacing the UN model. Israel accepted all the terms but Hamas only accepted phase 1, which included the release of the dead and living hostages (Oct. 13 ’25) after Israel’s partial withdrawal. Then Israel released their 2,000 prisoners!
And now it seems that many Muslim nations will be jointly ‘managing’ the Gaza strip with Trump overseeing it.
A better thing about this Israel-Gaza Peace Plan, which is the 20 point plan, signed on 10/9 ’25, is that instead of an irreversible pathway to a Palestinian State, it states a ‘conditional’ pathway; But the bad thing is that Israel still loses control of the land; And to whom? Of all people, to many Muslim nations! That’s the same land it just won back in a war that was forced on them by Islamic hatred!
Finally some common sense!
‘Gaza is ours’ – Israeli minister denounces Trump plan, calls to shutdown US army base in Israel
Update: The bits have flipped again! On Nov. 17 ’25, the UN Security Council has now adopted Trump’s Peace Plan for Gaza. Yes, they’re actually calling it that, and also The American Resolution. It’s based on the 20 point plan.
Woe to America! The rhetoric tries to make a Palestinian State seem distant, but as with the 20 point plan, this resolution upholds a path to it, although with conditions; Until then Gaza will be controlled by enemies posing as peacekeepers. In a way Gaza has been given over to the world. It’s starting to sound like the Isaiah 28 14-18 prophesy of the ‘covenant with death’, but Israel must agree . . .
ΑΩ.21 Glory God Beyond
On Feb. 11 ’26 Netanyahu signed on to the Board of Peace; That must be it!
“Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem. You boast, ‘We have struck a bargain to cheat death and have made a deal to dodge the grave. The coming destruction can never touch us, for we have built a strong refuge made of lies and deception.‘” Isaiah 28 14-18
I think this is the covenant with death.
Leviticus 12:32 (God said) “The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is Mine. For you are strangers and sojourners with me.”
Powers of the last Hour
Something to keep in mind about Daniel 9:27 is that it’s been questioned by some, as to whether the ‘prince who is to come’ is really the little-big horn (Antichrist/Beast). It seems very likely, but questioning it made me honestly consider that there’s also the Mystery Babylon side of the ‘powers of the last hour.’ And, the ‘prince who is to come’ could even be one of the original ten horns of the fourth Beast of Daniel 7. He could even be one of the many false messiahs Jesus warned us about.
He originally shared that video on his ‘Truth Social Account.’ I do think Donald Trump’s being used by God in some ways, but there’s no second prophesy in the Bible for an anointed (messianic) gentile leader to facilitate the rebuilding of God’s Temple, as there was for King Cyrus; That doesn’t mean he won’t build it anyway. There’ve been many false messiah’s, since Jesus’ time, just as Jesus strongly warned in His Olivet Discourse.
Matt. 24:4, Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.” (‘Christ’ means ‘Messiah’ which means ‘One Anointed by God’.)
And, in November I discovered that, he supposedly posted this on Truth Social.
ΑΩ.23 Glory God Beyond
It’s about QAnon. Do you see the big eye with a pyramid under it over his head?
I could certainly be wrong, but I don’t think Trump completely qualifies to be the Beast/Antichrist/man of lawlessness/son of perdition.
It’s farfetched, while at the same time, he seems to be barrelling in that direction. So, I can’t say it’s impossible, as we’re living in ludicrous times. Unlike King Charles III, He doesn’t have the ancestral lineage, as a supposed descendant of King David, etc.. (see post 13) Having read the Old Testament for decades, the last thing I would’ve ever imagined is that the Jews would believe a man that has zero Jewish ancestry is their Messiah; And, icing on the cake, someone who brags about his German ancestry!
ΑΩ.24 Glory God Beyond
Also, Trump hasn’t been metaphorically riding the white horse of the first seal, representing false peace – carrying a bow with no arrow! Trump has been representing false peace and war at the same time! He has an arrow in his bow; He’s renamed the Department of Defense, ‘The War Department.’
Nevertheless, he’s likely to play a major role toward getting the 3rd temple of God built in Jerusalem as part of Abraham Accords pt.2, or whatever they decide to call the next or final Trump mediated agreement.
On the 9th of Av 2025: Thousands of religious Jews prayed on Temple Mount and were not killed or harassed! Flags with the image of the 3rd temple have shown up all around Israel, many in Judea and Samaria! It’s coming! On Jan, 13 ’26, Netanyahu threw his weight behind it allowing fully prostrated Jewish prayer on the temple mount.
Many believers know how it’ll all end. Praying for peace really means praying for God’s plan to be forwarded, for justice to be done and for Jesus Christ’s righteous rule to begin. Jesus Christ is the ‘Prince of Peace.’ Please don’t pray against God by aligning your prayers with the ‘false peace’ of the world.
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they be secure who love you!” Psalm 122:6

Jesus said,to the Church of Philadelphia
“I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name.” . . . Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.” Rev. 3 8-10
We, the bride, are waiting for our Lord and Bridegroom Jesus Christ to take us through His opened self. He promised to keep Himself open for the Church of Philadelphia!
TheBrideof Christmay be nearly synonymous with theChurch of Philadelphia.
Are there any brick and mortar churches existing now that’d receive as good of a report as the original Church of Philadelphia, as recorded by St. John in the Book of Revelation?
The end of the Church Age is rapidly approaching and there’s a type of apostasy, the rebellious type, (the other being the physical departure of true believers) about which Jesus Christ prophesied, that’s heavily upon us. Since Jesus specifically promised to keep the Church of Philadelphia from the ‘hour of trial’ that’s coming upon all the inhabitants of Earth, an end time only phenomenon, Jesus must have meant for the original Church of Philadelphia to be a model for future believers to follow.
1.2 DOOR, Glory of God
Modeling Ourselves
We need to avoid the pitfalls pointed out by Jesus Christ to 5 of the remaining 6 church types described in Rev. 2-3. Separating ourselves from worldliness accomplishes most of that. And we must produce fruit, especially the fruit of faith, and never deny His holy name. Also, we need to have some sort of ministry, no matter how small, using whatever method God makes available to us: We must be the light of the world!
Can’t find a church that acknowledges the times we’re in?
Online communities are real, and can be the best communities for some people. There are many Berean and watcher communities to interact with where we can edify and sometimes correct each other. But, we should also seek out local believers, if possible, with whom we can take communion, to remember what He did for us by sharing the same loaf and cup.

TheNew Testament Epilogue
“And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him-that-heareth say “Come!” And let him-that-is-athirst come.And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. I testify to everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book: And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and the holy city, which are described in this book, He who testifies to these things say, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.
Revelation 22:17
Notice that, in the New Heavens and the New Earth Jesus doesn’t use the term ‘church’ or ‘body’ to address His redeemed people. Instead He calls His redeemed: the bride, those who hear and those who are thirsty!
1.4 DOOR, Glory of God
The Church of Philadelphia may be the most mature part of His body in the very last days, those not requiring the tribulum.
The Church of Philadelphia clearly seems to be the owner’s portion of our Lord and Savior‘s Barley Harvest of souls – His Bride. (Rev. 2-3) The idea of the removal of the Church of Philadelphia, from the body-of-Christ, through His ‘open door,’ which is Himself, can be likened to the removal of something from Adam’s side, a part of Adam’s body; That happened in the Garden of Eden, and from it Adam’s wife was formed.
It’s been put forth by fellow Bereans, that being counted as the ‘bride’ of Christ’ is a reward and that the ‘Open Door Harvest’ is part of it. What do you think?
1.5 DOOR, Glory of God
Examples of Rewards
Colossians 3: 23-24
“Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.”
Mark 9:41
“For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.”
2 Timothy 4:8
Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
It makes sense that it’d be a reward to be kept from the great tribulation.
Not All Believers Are Kept From It
There’s an uncountable number of saints who will come out-of/from the great tribulation (not God’s wrath, which is the greatest tribulation)after a quarter of humanity has perished at the sixth seal. Rev. 7:11, And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation …”
That’s the opposite of being kept out-of/from the great tribulation. Rev. 3:8, “I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.”
1.6 DOOR, Glory of God
LET’S COMPARE THE TWO GROUPS AGAIN – IT’S SUBTLE
The Open Door Harvest is the owner’s portion of the Barley Harvest of Revelation 3:8
“Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will keep you from the ‘hour of testing.'”
VS
TheSixth Seal Harvest as the owner’s portion of the Wheat Harvest ofRevelation 7:13
“they came from the ‘great tribulation’ they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
The first group is kept from/out of it and the second group came from/out of it, after 1/4 of humanity died.
1.7 DOOR, Glory of God
The Bible is quite Mysterious about Christ’s Bride
Although Rev. 3: 7-13, doesn’t directly refer to the Church of Philadelphia as His bride, she very much seems to be. As mentioned above, it’d be that she’s taken ‘out of’ the body-of-Christ as Adam’s wife was taken ‘out of’ Adam’s body. If that’s the case, it would happen before the ‘hour of testing’ that’s about to come upon the whole world!
Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong (worthy) enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)
Could the bridesmaids be the remainder of the body of Christ?
Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.” (Rev. 9:9)
I ask . . .who’s invited to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb besides His bride? The Parable of the 10 Virgins/Bridesmaids comes to mind. It says all ten fell asleep. Where’s the bride?
1.8 DOOR, Glory of God
Is the bride of Christ made up of the believers who didn’t fall asleep, those who were watching intently and keeping their garments clean?
I’ve heard other watchers suggest this. One thing that the bride-of Christ and the Open Door Harvest of the Church of Philadelphia have in common is: They’re both mysterious.
((( WOW !)))
((( WOW !)))
((( WOW !)))
Update 9-9-25 – I just found out that the older – Peshitta versions of Matthew 25:1 include the bride! So the bridesmaids aren’t the bride after all!
(Etheridge) THEN shall be likened the kingdom of heaven unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride.
(Lamsa) THEN the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to greet the bridegroom and the bride.
(Murdock) Then may the kingdom of heaven be shadowed forth by ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and bride.
Although the uncountable number of Tribulation Saints of Rev. 7 aren’t referred to as the church, the bride, or the body; they must be the main part of the body. To look deeper into this, see:
The body of Christ is harvested at different times, just as the head is part of the body and Jesus Christ went up first.
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruit; afterward they that are Christ’s. 1 Corinthians 15 21-23
Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many. 1 Corinthians 12:14
1.10 DOOR, Glory of God
Reminder:
AlephTav.blog uses the vantage point that the time period called the ‘great tribulation’ in Rev. 7:14 at the sixth seal, precedes God’s Wrath. That’s why I call the ‘wrath of God’ the ‘greatEST tribulation,’ to avoid confusion:
For then there will be great tribulation such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. (Matt. 24:21)
By contrast, there’ve been many great tribulations, such as the genocide of Armenian Christians (1.2-2 million martyred) by the Turks, just 100 yrs ago; The sixth seal is worse, but it is still one of those; In Matt. 24, Jesus was talking about the greatEST one that comes after it.

Based on a AD 31 crucifixion date, we’re running out of time. The Fig Tree Generation, the 3 day Sign of Jonah . . .
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. (Matt. 12:40)
. . .and the Ezekiel 40 Year Siege Sign (using inclusive, or exclusive, counting, depending on the year, from the cross to the destruction of the 2nd temple of God.) A 31 AD crucifixion is the best prophetic fit overall, with the Daniel 9:27 prophetic timeline. Christ’s second coming, will probably be on Nisan 1, the first day of 2031 ADT (Torah); That’s very early in 2031 AD. The possibilities are narrowing drastically. There’s very powerful evidence that a timeline has come together.
In 2024-25 AD/ADT, many watchers thoroughly studied all of God’s ‘appointed times’ plus quite a few other seemingly likely times when Jesus Christ may have harvested His bride; Our doing so glorifies Him. His name is above all names and in the process, we discovered how deeply and widely the entire Bible points to His coming.
Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) 2023 was my first ever high watch, but I wouldn’t have wanted to miss out on learning about the Biblical typologies that underlie all the other high watches, while awaiting the great day of our blessed hope!

Traditions of Men vs Living Revelation(This video explains the three harvests in greatest detail and will clarify the foundation of the timing scheme we’re about to delve into. )
From every direction, and from various calendars, the arrows have been drawing together, pointing to the likelihood that the King of kings’ will harvest His bride from late 2025 up to the halfway point of 2026 ADT(Torah). It’s to His greater glory if we fully appreciate that His appearance will occur after His promised tarry because of the multitude of amazing signs He left for us along the trail!
I deduce that His tarry may have actually been in two parts, the first part at the Midnight Cry Event and the last part extending from what would’ve been the appointed time for the fulfillment of God’s Barley Harvest, which could’ve begun at the fulfillment of the 2026 Barley Harvest, but I’ve been tracking it from a 2025 AD Barley Harvest fulfillment. The reason I didn’t jump track was that there was such an extraordinary number of mind blowing bread crumbs/stepping stones on the track we were already on, and that even if the second part of His tarry is more that a year long, the trail hasn’t run dry at all! And all this fell under something I call the ‘Ester Umbrella.’ Read on to see some of the many layers of meaning.
~The Prophetic Book of Ester~
In the prelude post, I introduced something I call the ‘Ester Umbrella’(or scope). Here’s another intro. as well as the main Book of Ester discussion; It may be nuclear. See below at mark 1.35-1.45.
Ester foreshadows the bride of Christ: And, Purim is the festival celebrating the historical events recorded in the Book of Ester. It’s been celebrated every year by Jews for the past ~2,500 years. The Ester Umbrella isn’t recurring. God’s has anchored it in these end times by three heavenly blood moon witnesses – signs that occurred in the cosmos three years in a row, with the central one pointing to Purim March 14, 2025AD when something huge happened – the trigger. explained below
And those who have insight will shine like the glow of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)
There’s ample evidence that the signs of the grand finale of God Almighty’s plan are converging even faster that expected!
1.14 DOOR, Glory of God
God Almighty sets the dates. We watch as Jesus Christ commanded us to; But it’s impossible to watch without paying attention to calendars. We focus on upcoming high watches more than later ones, because we don’t want to be caught unaware; It’s a bit like driving a car – a nearer mountain can partially occlude the ones behind it. So we pins dates to stay organized as we focus on each ‘high watch’ like crosshairs of a larger target. The crosshairs don’t necessarily land on the bullseye. That’s nearly impossible, since with time zones, it takes 48 hours for any day to complete everywhere. It’s also difficult to reconcile the many calendars, but studying them greatly improves Biblical knowledge.
There’ve been quite a few high watches that have already fallen ‘under the Ester umbrella,’ which will continue to be our scope, until the third temple’s built. If we’re still here after that (doubtful), then the remaining Torah appointed holy convocations that God promised to fulfill, will take precedence.There’s a list of those watches at the end of this post.
1.15 DOOR, Glory of God
Before we get started on what the main high watch days of this year’s complex study is boiling down to, by following the trail we’ve been on for a little over year to its conclusion, let me interject that we also watched other dates, such as May 23-24 ’26 AD, because it was the date of Rabbinical Shavuot/Pentecost ’26 AD/ADT; The state of the world required us not to ignore it.
And although that was off our main trail, because we’ve been favoring a ‘month delayed’ Pentecost, over the Rabbinical version, it’s also possible that both calendars are being used by God; Each has its leap year months appended to different years, so the two calendars line up in some years and are 30 days off in other years.
It’s also conceivable that 2026 AD is the Barley Harvest bride year; If so we jumped the gun by a year! But I don’t think so because of how it all fell together perfectly. . .
The Rabbinical Feast of Trumpets dates in 2023 and 2024 were of great prophetic import, and so was the tail end of the Great American Eclipses, which concluded on the hour before Nisan 1 ’24 ADT, the first day of the new year on God’s Torah calendar. Nisan 1 ’24 ADT began the final week-of-years of this age.
The Rabbinical calendar really did seem to be in alignment with God’s calendar on those 3 occasions. But again, 2025 is the year in which I think God’s Torah calendar was likely delayed by a month, as compared with the Rabbinical calendar, based on many signs. I’m about to show some of the signs here and in the links below. Despite the many signs that fell inline with the delayed year, the Trump UN speech on Rabbinical Feast of Trumpets was very significant and probably highly prophetic; In fact, that was possibly the day Jesus Christ broke the fourth seal of the scroll of the Deed to the Earth. So there is an example of the divergence of the two calendars; Both seem to have signs associated with them; Again, Almighty God could be using both calendars simultaneously to His own good purpose. That concept was proposed by C.J. Lovik; And as mentioned above, it might have something to do with the underling cause of the mysterious extra 30 days added to the end of this age (Daniel 12:11).
Highlights of High Watches Based on a ‘Delayed Torah year’
Although the following dates might seem self explanatory, some of us might want to read about how they were derived in such a way that it was not necessary to diverge from the trail we started on. That’s because the whole process along the entire trail, was like a treasure hunt. Even the cul-de-sacs, scooped up additional elements of meaning that contributed to Jesus Christ’s glory, showing how He may have written His redeemed people into His story in such a way that gives us insight into our collective selves.
But that’s not for everyone. . .
. . . To see the highest watch of all time, scroll to mark 1.26 to 1.27!

June 10th-11th ’26 AD was Ascension Day of the delayed 2026 ADT!
June 20th-21st ’26 AD? is Pentecost of the delayed 2026 ADT!
About Shavuot/Pentecost
Shavuot/Pentecost was the first high watch under the Ester Umbrella. Shavuot/Pentecost is God’s appointed time for focusing on the ‘first fruits’ of the Wheat Harvest, but more importantly for the bride of Christ, it also marks the ‘fulfillment’ of the Barley Harvest. There were two possible months in which Shavuot/Pentecost could have occurred in 2025, one following a leap month year and one not.(The gleanings of the Barley Harvest could be martyred in the year after that since the Great Tribulation/4th-Horseman-of-the-Apocalypse must happen before Jesus Christ gathers His tribulation saints.)
Wait a minute? But, wasn’t Shavuot/Pentecost fulfilled in the year of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, resurrection and ascension?
Shavuot/Pentecost may have been only partially fulfilled then for two possible reasons: 1. It’s a pilgrimage holy convocation; The Holy Spirit who came down to indwell the saints on Shavuot/Pentecost, must make the return trip to heaven with the saints. 2. Some think since Jesus wasn’t physically on Earth at the original Pentecost that He couldn’t have fulfilled it then.
1.16 DOOR, Glory of God
Note: If there was no leap year delay, Shavuot/Pentecost 2025, would’ve been on June 7-8. But, if Jesus considered it to be a delayed barley (bride) maturity year, God’s entire calendar will have been pushed forward a month, in which case, Shavuot/Pentecost would’ve been on July 7-8 ’25, in His eyes.Before the Israelites corrupted God’s calendar, there‘d always been an extra month added before the start of a new Torah year whenever Spring had not sprung and barley was not mature (green) enough.
If Shavuot/Pentecost was ‘the pre-tarry target day’ for the rapture of His barley harvest bride, then we’re now deep into Jesus Christ’s tarry. About what I mentioned above, that His tarry may have two parts, See posts ΑΩ.Aleph Tav Christ’s Sign! & 3.The Midnight Cry Event.
Reborn in the spirit believers, making up Christ’s bride, will be greatly blessed with glorified bodies to become the ‘living stones’ of God’s living temple; And the sudden disappearance of the core of Christ’s church (His bride) is likely to be the most direct trigger for the Jews to rebuildthe masonry temple of God in Jerusalem. I’ve predicted that it could be rededicated by the religious Jews, even as soon as two months after the ‘true church’ is gone and the ‘left behind church’ collapses.
There’s been a anomaly in the Schumann Resonance, a unique sign, unlike anything that God’s been known to send before. It seems to indicate that there was something very special going on regarding Hanukkah in 2025 ADT(Torah). Rabbis are using March 19 ’26AD as their Nisan 1 ’26 ADT, which is the first day of their Spring. But, by continuing with the leap year schedule that this post has been following, Nisan 1 ’26 ADT won’t occur until April 18-19 ’26AD, (If the moon sliver is occluded, April 20-21 at the latest), in God’s eyes. That has very interesting ramifications. keep reading . . .
The Menorah represents God’s Covenant People
It shows the burning Holy Spirit’s light in the betrothal relationship, which for the Jews, is mediated mainly through the Levitical priesthood; But a portion of the Holy Spirit lives directly inside true Christians, and Yeshua Hamashiach (the Jewish Messiah, Jesus Christ) is our High Priest.

For all reasons shown,I folded a 2024 ADT (Torah)leap year month into the date calculations of my ‘Final Week Date Estimates Chart’ at the bottom of post 4. The chart is for the final seven years of God’s 6,000 allotment for humanities rebellion.If it turns out not to be the case, a month can be subtracted and the chart dates can be adjusted. Doing so may slightly decrease precision.
The Hanukkah connection is thoroughly explained below at mark 1.32.
Remember: God also has an unfaithful Old Covenant Bride
As mentioned, the 3rd temple of God is likely to go up with amazing speed after Jesus Christ redeems His bride. Then the menorah’s flames in the new masonry temple will begin again to reflect the condition of the Old Testament betrothal relationship.
Although God our Father, YHWH, had the right to legally divorce her, the Books of Hosea and Ezekiel only tell us that He’ll completely cut Himself off from her – all of her – meaning both the Northern and the Southern Kingdoms, for 2,000 yrs; After, that He’ll take her back, but not in her former condition; The Northern Kingdom will have never nationally repented, and they disgraced YHWH’s Holy Name in the countries to which they were exiled. But, YHWH will wash them clean and give them new hearts. He’ll also put His Holy Spirit in them. They won’t have glorified immortal bodies in the Millennium like the saints of Christ’s grain harvests or the repentant Jews of the Good Grape Harvest. With the exception of the individuals who repented, to the best of my understanding, they’ll serve Him in His masonry temple in Jesus Christ’s Millennial Kingdom for 1,000 years, in shame. (Still much better that eternal burning.)
But alas, 2025 ADT may have been a double Hanukkah year!
Recap: If you’ve been reading this post, you know that 2025 ADT(Torah) has been strongly suspected to have followed a leap year in God’s accounting. If so, every festival was observed a month prematurely by Rabbinical Jews. That opened the way for two Hanukkah date intervals this year, since the Jews observed Hanukkah in December. God never actually prescribed Hanukkah, which means dedication. It’s the Jewish memorial of the re- dedication of their preexisting temple after it was thoroughly cleansed, following having been terribly desecrated by an enemy in the 2nd century BC.
1.20 DOOR, Glory of God
If the above is correct, it supports the 30 extra days of Daniel 12:11.
Jesus Christ attended Hanukkah and gave an awesome teaching. That’s when He spoke the words, “… understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.” (John 10:38) It speaks volumes: The temple is the earthly place where God the Father ‘enters.’ Jesus was pointing to the concept of a new type of temple, one not made of masonry. In John 2:19, Jesus had said, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” He was calling His body God’s temple. All those things were said soon before the Passover in which when He turned over tables and drove the merchants out of the temple courts.
The December 2025 ADT Hanukkah menorah will have represented Hagar and/or Vashti, the Old Covenant rebellious bride see Gal. 4 21-31 who uses the adulterated calendar that only superficially resembles God’s calendar; But the January 2025 ADT Hanukkah menorah, the calendrically correct one, will have represented Sarah and/or Ester, the New Covenant faithful bride; It wasn’t observed as a physical gathering of believers or with lighting candles at home. It was observed spiritually, by those who understand that the bride is ready, because they knew the meaning of the times we’re in, as well as the meaning of God’s living temple that they’re a part of. Jesus never commanded His followers to observe or to not to observe any holidays, in a legal sense, but He did command us to ‘watch’ during the end times.
The first time a torch signified a covenant was during the formal covenant ceremony with Abraham when God appeared as a blazing torch. Genesis 15
If we’re watching and recognize that the delayed 2025 AD Barley Harvest may’ve been the one that marked the dedication of the maturity of Christ’s bride, If so, and we recognize that we’re running out of time, that we’re already well into Daniel’s 70th week, and that prophetic end dates are continuously falling into place; Then we’ll consider this Hanukkah to be very significant; That’s because it’s about the ‘living temple’ which is the penultimate expression of God the Father’s relationship with His children. That’s only surpassed in the New Jerusalem in the New Heavens and the New Earth where God the Father and God the Son will be it’s temple!
1.21 DOOR, Glory of God
When the seven churches were first introduced to us in Rev. 3 as the 7 lamp stands, but we weren’t told which, if any, of the seven churches/lamp stands were actually lit. That was necessary since, even though those churches were real named churches that existed in the first century, they were chosen as models of the 7 church types of that would continue until the end of this age, each with their own challenges to overcome. The quality of flames would vary over the next 2,000 yrs. according to those challenges.But immediately after that introduction, St. John went through an ‘open door’ in the spirit; He entered God’s throne room in heavenwhere he again saw the seven lamp stands. They were ablaze before the Lamb of God setting off the climactic moment when God our Father hands the scroll of the Deed to the Earth to His Son the Lamb of God. Why would watchers have observed Hanukkah in 2025 ADT? The lighting of the lamps is what transforms a dead church into a living church. Now the lamps on a Hanukkah menorah are traditionally lit in an orderly fashion, one per day. Since it’s a memorial, the order might follow the 7 church types in the order that they were presented to St. John by Jesus Christ. (Rev. 2-3) Ephesus (the church that lost it’s first love), Smyrna (the martyr church), Pergamon (the church that sold it’s Holy Spirit gifts for profit), Thyatira (the church that tolerated sexual immorality for economic gain), Sardis (the dead church), Philadelphia (the church who has overcome and only needs to hold on to her crown) and Laodicea (the lukewarm ‘comfortable’ church that perceived themselves as rich but didn’t realize they were poor, blind and naked).
God’s spiritual temple can be spiritually dedicated when its members are cognizant of the meaning, timing and spirit of the occasion; Those who are in Christ are all drinking of one spirit, no matter where they are in the world. Being ablaze, maturing and being completely ready for Christ to harvesting are not all the same.
1.23 DOOR, Glory of God
In my own experience: I was so ‘on fire for the Lord’ in the beginning, that church members tried to ‘stamp me out.’ Only later did I realize I was in one of the ‘dead’ churches. I left that church but I also needed to do a lot of maturing. So what I’m really saying is that the 7 lamp stands may’ve reached their simultaneous blazing condition in front of God’s throne even before those churches reached full maturity! It’s important to mention that, because this post has mainly focused on a one month delayed maturity of the Barley Harvest bride of Christ in 2025, as the very first stepping stone from which to begin searching out the timing of the rapture; Every stepping stone after that landed on a bulls eye, one after another! (See link below to view some of the many astonishing trails that, although still valid as signs, had to be set aside for simplicity’s sake.)
A plethora of signs pointed to Dec. 21 ’25AD then another plethora to Jan. 21 ’26AD. The following channel’s videos from that time period, explain them well: https://www.youtube.com/@stevefletcher2223:
Although those signs, shown on Steve’s site, are very powerful; Our understanding of some of them has developed from what we originally expected, serving different yet still very meaningful purposes, not the least of which has been to provide more meaningful clues to encourage us, all the watchers, and guide us forward.
1.22 DOOR, Glory of God
So it turned out that the signs pointing to Dec. 21 ’25AD seemed to be predominantly relevant to the Jews. That was the 7th day of their Hanukkah (as Rabbinical Jews observed it.)
Important
Jan. 21 ’26AD was the 7th day of the leap year Hanukkah, a very high watch for the Barley Bride of Christ! Since Hanukkah’s a memorial occasion, the fact that the seventh lamp stands was lit on Jan. 21 ’26 doesn’t necessarily mean that was the first time the seven lamp stands were ever fully lit. But if Christ’s barley bride became mature enough to soon be harvested at the time of the first fruits of the barley harvest in 2026, then that’d certainly Hanukkah 2026 the first time she’d ever been dedicated since she became mature. Hanukkah means ‘dedication’ of the temple.
Why didn’t Jesus Christ gather us then?
Come Jesus Come! Maranatha!
1.24 DOOR, Glory of God
Initial maturity of the bride is not the very same thing as readiness: Christ needs to be ready also.
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 2:9
Could it be that the great spiritual war in heaven, the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse and even nuclear war over Iran, that’s still looming under the Ester umbrella, are all parts of the cause for this part of the delay which can also be seen as a delay before Jesus Christ, our high priest, metaphorically, lights the 8th lamp, the lamp representing our new beginning?
In the Bible ‘8’ means ‘new beginnings’ and/or ‘eternity.’ It appears that the lighting of the 7th lamp was the dedication of His true church, which is His bride and, in my opinion, also His bridesmaids. That must begin the final leg of the countdown to our new beginning. As mentioned before, perhaps there’s more than one type of reason for Christ’s delay. Jesus Christ may want a nuclear rapture, ‘in the twinkling of an eye.’ Many believers have been having visions of that. Since I wrote about that likely-hood over a year ago, it still seems like a very real possibility to me, as nuclear war looms.

Skip-able grey box extra info.:
The next two high-watch days were not the day in which Christ gathered His bride, but they had unexpected importance, bridging the gap until more was revealed. After Jan. 21 ’26 AD…We kept track of a 21 day delay, for the spiritual battle over Iran/Persia, Daniel 9-10 style . . .. . . counting inclusively, and it landed on Feb. 11 ’26 AD another day loaded with signs! Feb. 11 was, at least symbolically, the anniversary of the day the animals started entering Noah’s Ark because 7 days later came Feb. 17 ‘26 AD Genesis 7:11 says that God shut the door of the ark from the inside on the 17th day of the 2nd month: Of course, the calendar has shifted since then, but it was worth watching for me, because there were also many other signs pointing to that day, such as the ring of fire solar eclipse over Antarctica, I Pet Goat II predictive programming, and the fact that it was the 77th anniversary of the day Israel established its government, the Knesset!
On Feb. 11 ’26 AD Netanyahu rushed to Washington to meet with Trump; Voila! Netanyahu signed on to the Gazan Board of Peace, which I think may be the: Covenant with Death
Isaiah 28 14-15 Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem. You boast, “We have struck a bargain to cheat death and have made a deal to dodge the grave. The coming destruction can never touch us, for we have built a strong refuge made of lies and deception.. . . 18Your covenant with death will be annulled; your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by, you will be beaten down by it. Kushner Unveils ‘Master Plan’ for New Gaza at Davoshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKy_OinPYeI
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matt. 5: 14-16)
The amazing passage ties the light that we hold up and shine (Hanukkah) to our saltiness upon the earth. But the passage begins with the ‘salt of the earth’.
233 days after our Hanukkah blazes are full, Earth may lose it’s salt. We are the Salt of the Earth! Rapture!
Verse 16 mentions that Christ’s followers let their light shine: Jan. 21st stands for the light, the 7th lamp of the temple menorah being fully lit! We are that living temple.
Yes! I think that’s it! But I said above that there’s an end date that can be beautifully calculated from the Rabbinical Hanukkah date . . . Well, it’s the same end date: 9/11 2026 AD, but it is a 110 day count from their Dec. 21 ’25 Hanukkah. This is the calculation used in the great video above – a week of distractions. Below I used the same number for a different stepping stone and I explained it’s meaning below.
I’ve removed huge parts of the trail we used to find out way here. All the stepping stones our Awesome God provided us were relevant; I couldn’t have truly found my way here without all of them. Although I did all my own research, but I must say ‘we’ because I’m also part of watcher communities in which many of us continuously found the same stepping stones by different methods and even with different calendars! So many times I wouldn’t have known what the individual stepping stones really meant if it weren’t for the particular insights of my beloved fellows. The following link is just another piece of overflow. One that I myself might find useful to keep handy here; This entire document/blog is the main part of my own study notes: https://alephtav.blog/110-days/
Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead on an appointed day called First Fruits, which is the first fruits ‘specifically of the barley harvest’.
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2 23-24
The idea of being of the ‘same substance’ is another reason why the bride of Christ is associated with the Barley Harvest, not the Wheat Harvest.
We’re talking about His bride, and not literal grain, so it doesn’t need to be the case that He tarries for just a month or two.
I’ve believed we’re in His tarry since a June or July 2025 Pentecost.
Let’s remember how Jesus observed the Sabbath? Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. Jesus Christ is Lord of His bride as well. Our Lord and Savior is One with the spirit of the law, but we only see as through a glass darkly. If Jesus could heal on the Sabbath, He can delay a longer to gather His bride.
The tarry ‘time limit’ scripturally is that our Lord and Savior must gather the fulfillment of His Barley Harvest, including gleanings, before He sets apart the first fruits of the Wheat Harvest,who I believe are the 144,000 who’re specially sealed before He takes His tribulation saints.

Three Harvests – each with three parts:
First Fruits of the Barley Harvest could also be the captives Jesus removed from Hell, the ‘Bosom of Abraham’, when He took captivity captive.My interpretation of the two grape harvests of Rev. 14, is that only the second harvest is the grapes of wrath.
Watching in 2025 was strange – complicated by a false prophet – a brief survey:
Will the Jews need the blood of animals during the last week of Daniel for a time, until they accept their Anointed King? Apparently they do; But since, we don’t know for sure, we should be ready for everything.(After a careful reading of many Old Greek to English translations of Daniel 9:27 and doing my own translation as well, I think yes; Many weeks of sacrifices by the Jews will be necessary because the passage mentions a payment of public (sin) debt. We know that 2/3 of the Jews will also be killed. Sadly, that could be related.)
The Feast of Dedication is the memorial of the re-dedication of the Temple of God. That first happened a few years after the ‘abomination of desolation’ event 168/167 BC.
That desolation event included a statue of Zeus, a burnt sacrifice of swine, and the spreading of swine fat on and in the Holy of Holies, all committed by Antiochus Epiphanes who was the precursor and shadow of: not only the final king of the North, but also the Beast, Antichrist, Man-of-Lawlessness, Son-of-Perdition; He was a Greek Seleucid from the territory that we now call Syria.
1.33 DOOR, Glory of God
. . . To Cleanse the Temple of God . . .
The Feast of Dedication or Hanukkah is the observance of the anniversary of the cleansing and re-consecration of God’s Temple after the horrific event. I don’t know all the procedures that had to be done, but I expect that the ashes of a red heifer had to be used. The alter for sacrifices had to be completely rebuilt from scratch.
How ‘temple purification’ can be seen as analogous to the glorified bodies of saints, where the old body is like a seed that must die to bring it forth, is mostly foreshadowing of the bride of Christ, at least when we compare it to the temple purification, because the menorah represents God’s bride.
Relevant verses:
John 2 10-21 “All right,” Jesus replied (to the Jewish leaders). “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” But, when Jesus said ‘this temple’ he meant his own body.
1 Corinthians 6 19-20 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
1.34 DOOR, Glory of God
1 Corinthians 12 13-14 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
Ephesians 1 22-23 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way.
Corruptible must put on Incorruptible
Mortality must put on Immortality
So we individual saints are temples of the Holy Spirit. One might say we were first dedicated when we received the Holy Spirit. But, since our bodies are of sin nature, they can’t inherit God’s Kingdom. We need to ask Jesus to ‘wash our feet’ or we have no place with Him. I see the putting on of in-corruption and immortality, when we put on our new bodies, as a type of re-dedication. It’s comparable to what the bronze alter of the Temple of God had to go through; It had to be completely replaced to make it acceptable enough for YHWH to come near it. Here’s the parallel I see: In a twinkling of an eye, when believers receive their glorified bodies, they’ll be cleansed and rededicated. Only then will God our Father receive us bodily. That’s the Hanukkah connection!

This has been the most prophetic year for the
Book of Ester!
Even if Jesus tarries until the very edge of the Ester umbrella, which is the rebuilding of the masonry temple in Jerusalem, I still understand that the bride of Christ is the owner’s portion of God’s Barley Harvest. The Ester umbrella is really interesting and we’re about to get into it!
In John 5:1 Jesus Christ attended Purim. He called it ‘The Feast of the Jews’.
What I find most interesting is that a barley harvest of souls, based upon the harvest symbolism that Jesus Christ used, will still fall within the scope of the Book of Ester, even if He tarries for quite a long time after the two possible Shavuot/Pentecost dates.
I’d been wondering since late Spring if Jesus Christ, our beloved, is aligning His tarry to coincide with Israel’s bombing of the Bushehr Nuclear power plant in Susa/Elam Iran. Read on to see what Purim could have to do with that.
The events of the Book of Ester have been triggered!
In 2025 AD, Purim was observed on March 14-15 (Adar 15 ADT); A very significant blood moon sign appeared within the constellations of the Revelation 12 Sign. But on that day Virgo, which represents Israel, was the bride of Christ, who is the hidden grafted on Israel.
The cosmic sign was the middle witness of a triple lunar eclipse. The following was called out by certain watchers, before it happened: Watchers predicted there would be an earth shattering event, one that will change everything!
1.37 DOOR, Glory of God
God Almighty has showed us with His signs, and now it has happened!
Happened on the Purim 2025 crosshairs date:
A month later, during the Rabbinical observance of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, on April 15, the US unleashed hell on the Houthis in Yemen. Many of their targets were blown off the map.
The only reason Israel didn’t blow up Iran’s Bushehr nuclear facility in the first weeks of May was: Trump stalled Netanyahu.
Trump wanted to try one more diplomatic round after having shown off his B-2 nuclear capable stealth bombers on Yemen, six of them costing $1.1 billion each, situated on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean within shooting distance of the Bushehr nuclear plant. (By the first week of June, Iran could have enriched their uranium to 90%.)
So it’s been just building up ever since. Too much news to put here.
1.38 DOOR, Glory of God
But, what’s happening encompassesthe entire meaning of the Purim Story . . .
Hamen foreshadows the Ayatollah Khamenei, a type of antichrist. Ester, who was adopted by Mordecai, foreshadows the bride of Christ, grafted onto the olive tree of Israel via the New Covenant in His blood, adopted into God’s family. King Ahaserius and Mordecaireflect God the Father and God the Son, but with overlapping roles. At first King Ahaseurus goes along with his top adviser Hamen, who wanted to destroy all the Jews, starting with hanging Mordecai on a gallows, because Mordecai refused to bow down to Hamen.By never sinning, Jesus never bowed down to satan, which is how he conquered death. Satan wants to destroy all the Jews because: Jesus said He won’t return until the Jews say “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” Satan would win if he could destroy all the Jews by corrupting their DNA, getting them to stop reproducing, getting them to become transhumans or by killing them. If there are no Jews left, they can never say those words and Jesus won’t return. Later King Ahaseuruschanges His mind about the Jews after Mordecai,who was a Jew, proved his love and loyalty, saving his life by revealing a plot against him.Jesus Christ, a Jew physically, proved His loyalty to YHWH, God the Father, by becoming sin on the cross in order to purchase a people for Him, while delusional satan thought he was overcoming Jesus by getting Him crucified, thus the connection with the gallows.Haman is ultimately destroyed on the very gallows he made for Mordecai!Queen Ester risked being put to death, by approaching King Ahaseuruson his throne. She revealed her Jewish roots, the truth that Mordecai had adopted her, and stood up for the Jews. This is paralleled by the fact that through the blood of Jesus Christ, the true church is adopted into God Almighty’s family. We’re given Jewish roots not only by being grafted on to the olive Tree of Israel, but by being covered by Jesus’ Jewish blood. Jesus Christ maintains our position in the most high family through His role as our High Priest forever; He’s faithful to sprinkle His holy blood on us every time we approach God our Father’s throne . . . for eternity. Ester stood up for the Jews despite the fact that she didn’t grow up in a Jewish community; She was raised more like a gentile in Persian culture despite having been adopted by Mordecai, who was Jewish. The parallel is: America, the only country in the world willing to stand for the Jews, is the country that has had the greatest/most concentrated number of saints of the bride-of-Christ since Israel was reestablished as a nation.Although the ‘church’ in America has, for the most part, divorced itself from the true word of God, the over 250 years of Christian foundation previously built, was still making it possible for America to stand up for the Jews, for a short while; not because the Jews are good, but because they’re of the promise to Abraham through Sara, and also because they’re the biological brethren of Jesus Christ, through whom God the Father sent His perfect Son who is our Savior, the one who paid the price for our eternal sin debt, with His blood.Vashti, the deposed rebellious wife of King Ahaseurus, represents the ‘Israel of the Old Covenant‘ who for the most part did not love or respect YHWH, as evidenced by rarely ceasing to be disobedient as a nation.

It’s not just the cosmic alliance that occurred on Purim that marked the catalytic event, which is related to the final outcome of the story. . . Quickly… in case some don’t know about the cosmic alliance, this prophesy was understood and revealed, actually by the enemy, who posted their interpretation on the cover of the Economist Magazine in 2017! Here’s a picture of that cover:
The card the upper right shows the March 14, 2025 lunar blood eclipse in the tail of Leo (which actually hovers over Virgo). That image represents the triple lunar witness I mentioned above; But it wasn’t shown in the accurate spot so that we’d know if it’s the 2025 or 2026 blood moon events it was pointing to. In retrospect, it was pointing to first March 14, 2025 – the catalyst date when Russia, China and Iran met in Beijing over their nuclear coordination.
The lower right card shows the resurrection of saints. All the events are associated with Purim dates. There’s much more!

Characters of the Book of Ester:
Vashti = Hagar and Ester = Sarah
“These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia (under the law) and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. Be glad, barren woman, you who never bore a child; shout for joy and cry aloud, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.” (Galatians 4: 24-26)

Since we’re under the ‘Purim umbrella’ I’ve been trying not to focus as precisely on every high watch date. There are just too many of them. (And, I have a hypothesis that Jesus is scooping up the symbolism of all the important ones in His tarry.) I simply can’t study and write about them fast enough.
The entire scope has been an enormously high watch time. This could continue, for reasons I’ve written about, until Purim 2026 (2025 ADT), but at the very most until the 3rd temple of God is built and sacrifices and libations are resumed; For the most part, we need to be aware that we’re in an extremely high watch season and that He’s coming very, very soon.
At the rate things are pushing forward, the temple could be built and dedicated even within 2 months of what I’m now calling ‘the second Hanukah.’ I think the temple will go up so fast that it’ll make the world wobble.

Related end time prophesies:
“Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might” (Jeremiah 49:35)
Elam in Jeremiah
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might. And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come. For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the Lord; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them: And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the Lord. But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will restore the captivity of Elam, saith the Lord. (Jeremiah 49 35-39)
Continuing on with these prophesies, the following passage might also be related, although it seems like it’ll happen later:
“This is the plague with which the Lord will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another.” (Zechariah 14 12-13)

Both of those prophesies sound nuclear:
Regarding the Jeremiah prophesy, if Israel bombs the Bushehr Plant, all the residents of Elam Iran will have to flee the radiation blowing in every direction with the wind. Regarding the Zechariah prophesy, dissolving flesh is known to be associated with nuclear explosions. (God’s restoration of Elam must be in the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ.)
Now that the catalytic event’s been triggered, the rest will unfold when it unfolds:
What I call the ‘Purim umbrella’ for Jesus Christ to come gather His bride, extends at most until the restoration of God’s temple. The following is an excellent video, although I’ve come to see that the time window for the rapture extends much, further, if I hadn’t watched the Supernatural by Design videos below, I wouldn’t have known! Watchers who love Christs appearing don’t want to jump too far in the future, as it could cause us to miss the now.
*This Changes Everything!* The Purim Eclipse Will Be Huge…Supernatural by Design
One of those videos explains how the word translated as ‘twinkling’ aligns with a flash such as an great explosion and that the word for trumpet, translated a ‘trump’ in the KJV, is associated with war.
in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” (1 Cor. 15:52-54)

If you’ve seen the videos . . .
. . . you know the triple blood moon witness sign is integrated into quite a few other rare cosmic alignments, all having to do with end times prophesy, involving Iran, national Israel and spiritual Israel/the Bride of Christ. It’s all associated with the true Story of Purim and what it foreshadows:
*Although the anniversary date I’m about to describe has passed, something very interesting happened on the day preceding it. And, whether or not I’m correct about the leap year, I think it’s useful to know this:
At first this was just another high watch . . .
August 23 (the 30th of Av) was the anniversary of the day that Moses turned around and descended from the mountaintop of Sinai, where he’d been with YHWH for 40 days, in order to bring the ketubah (marriage covenant) to the Israelites.
So that’s the anniversary of the day preceding the marriage covenant with YHWH that was agreed upon by our Almighty Father’s bride, the Israelites, at the foot of Mt. Sinai in 1,440 BCT. Yes, I said the ‘day preceding’ because the anniversary of that day was the very day ground telescopes on Earth saw something!
1.46 DOOR, Glory of God
What if the anniversary of that day marked something to do with Jesus’ descent from the heavenly Mt. Zion, on His way back ‘down’ to Earth to gather His bride?
Something became visible to ground telescopes on that day, and as long at it remained in our solar system some watchers kept an eye on it. It may have seeded the sun and/or dropped something off behind Mars. Also there was a cosmic sign associated with it that almost everybody missed:
An unidentified interstellar object, called
‘3I/ATLAS’
traveled toward Earth faster than any objectever seen.
And it was making its own light.
Although NASA uses the word ‘comet’,3I/ATLAS, has been unlike any comet, in that, in the beginning and for a long time it didn’t show a tail, not until it passed Earth on its way out when it took on the appearance of a sword or a scepter. Also, part of its glow preceded it and it was unusually aligned with the orbits of the planets. It was going way too fast and it pulsated in never before seen ways. And it shined brighter than the sun when it passed behind yet slightly above it.
1.47 DOOR, Glory of God
3I/ATLAS passed closely by Jupiter in March ’26. But this image shows its path as it was in August.
It was first observed by NASA’s robotic survey project Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS), on July 1. (Interestingly, that’s between the two Shavuot/Pentecost dates June 7-8 & July 6-7.) As mentioned above, its presence first became visible to ground telescopes, on August 23 due to its nearness and the rare ‘black moon’.
The sun has been acting very strangely ever since 3I/ATLAS passed behind it, when it lit up and shined brighter that the sun. What may have been done to the sun in its close pass? Since then the sun has been acting very differently so perhaps God seeded the sun with something for the end times.
Even since the first week of April ’26, the sun has been continuing to act strangely.
1.48 DOOR, Glory of God
Some Christians have considered the possibility that AI/ATLAS may have been a ship, sent by God to drop off transport vessels for the bride of Christ, somewhere in the vicinity of Earth, perhaps behind Mars. We can’t know, but around that time, I had a very amazing night vision: I was suspended in space – and a beautiful small, white, softly glowing, cube shaped ‘space-tabernacle’ with rounded edges, was suspended silently, about 200 feet in front of me while I was suspended in space. I believe Jesus was there. He was in the form of unspeakably beautiful, white, pure and absolutely refreshing living light – strongly emanating from a squarish opening in the base of one of the faces of the tabernacle, the one to my left.
In Greek myth, Atlas is a Titan condemned to hold up the heavens or sky for eternity.
But, satan always counterfeits God, adding deceptive twists, to detract from God’s glory.
. . . . . 3I/ATLAS?
What if ‘ 3 ‘ represents ‘trinity’ and ‘ I ‘ represents ‘the great I AM’ (YHWH)?
1.49 DOOR, Glory of God
3I/ATLAS means:
“Last Alert:
I the Triune God,
three persons in one,
the true atlas
who supports the world,
am on my way.”
(to rescue my bride)
3I/ATLAS is from God.
The King of kings brought a sword, that looks like a scepter. How do I know this? It has happened before and is recorded in the Bible:
A STAR RESEMBLING A SWORD AS AN OMEN TO THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM
God’s shown His heavenly sword twice before. The above video tells.
Isaiah 34 5-8
For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, (Edom) and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. And the unicorns (any animal with a single horn) shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.
1.50 DOOR, Glory of God
But there’s more!
As written above at mark 1.26 and as shown in the video there,
It points to The Parable of the 10 Virgins.
In 2016 trumpets from heaven blared over Jerusalem on the Feast of Trumpets from inside a great perfect circle of clouds.
One year later, the Revelation 12 Sign occurred, in and around Virgo!
Every year after that for 10 years, Virgo appeared lit by Venus and the sun, in a special way, concluding with the greatest sign in 2026
Keep in mind that God’s Torah calendar years don’t begin in January:
Jesus Christ only promised He’d keep the Church of Philadelphia from the hour of trial/testing/temptation that’s going to come upon the whole world. No promise of a 7 year rescue intervalexists. It only says HOUR!
The ‘Before the Final Seven Years’ Rapture Idea is Popular
Although it’s attractive, I think it’s dangerous. Simply making that assumption, causes the majority of churches to, not to really watch what Jesus Christ is doing in the world right now, which is to His glory as He fulfills prophesy. They think they don’t need to know since they’re so sure they won’t be here when any of the seals are broken. Having said that; Based on my reading of Rev. 2-3, I think there are some individual members of the Rev. 2-3 churches who Jesus reprimanded, that are ‘secretly’ watching. The most rigid dispensational rational is that the rapture sets off the final 7 years; Period! That’s certainly appealingly simplicity which accounts for its popularity, but the fourth seal/fourth horseman is the death of 1/4 of humanity – and that’s the great tribulation. I am a dispensationalist. And pre-trib, regarding the bride and the bridesmaids. But the rapture can occur any time in the first half of Daniel’s 70th week, since we’re only promised to be kept from the ‘hour of trial.’ The hour of trial doesn’t begin with the white horseman’s diplomatic march or the red horseman’s removal of general peace. And the extremely high food prices of the third seal do not happen at once on the day Jesus breaks the seal, nor will it happen everywhere. The beginning of Daniel’s 70th week could be the final segment of Christ’s tarry. Be encouraged by the fact that there’s very important work for bride to do on Earth right now, and that the church age has been extended as there are a few more saints that Jesus wants to bring onto His ark right now!
1.51 DOOR, Glory of God
‘The Church Age’ is a human invented descriptive term.
It describes something very real. But, there was a 70 year transition from the time of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ until to God’s reinstatement of His covenant time with His 490 year Great Jubilee Cycles. That’s when the Church Age began officially. That’s when He destroyed the temple in Jerusalem and the living temple of His New Covenant people, including all Jews who’ve been saved by faith in Jesus Christ replaced that temple on Earth.
The final 7 years begin for the Jews, exactly on time, according to the Daniel 9:24 prophesy. That’s when the unrepentant Jews enter back into a covenant relationship with God Almighty for judgment, refining and God’s consummation. It overlaps or mostly overlaps with the final 7 years of the God’s covenant time as it was reinstated in 70 AD to accommodate the church, God’s new covenant people including the Jews who have accepted their Messiah. This overlapping timeline was prophesied by Daniel 9:27 (Septuagint) and turns out to encompass the New Covenant. (There even seems to be a possible ’30 day’ offset between the final week of God’s New Covenant’s covenant time vs Daniel’s 70th week (Dan. 9:24) Old Covenant’s covenant time.)
The Word of God NEVER promised that mature saints won’t be on earth when the early seals of the scroll are broken by our Savior, the Lamb of God.
Immediately before the Lamb of God takes the scroll from the hand of YHWH our Heavenly Father who sits on His throne, St. John saw the 24 elders of Rev. 5 break out in a praise song. They sang that the Lamb of God, with His blood, had purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation; They sang, ” You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
1.52 DOOR, Glory of God
That’s why I strongly suspect that the seven blazing torches/lamps St. John saw in front of God’s throne, in Rev. 4, represent the complete spirit filled bride/church of Jesus Christ, the living members. In Rev. 1:20, Jesus said, “The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels (messengers) of the seven churches, and the seven lamp stands are the seven churches.”
Perhaps the spirit filled, light shining believers will still be persevering on the earth as Jesus Christ, the holy perfect Lamb of God, takes the scroll from His Father God Almighty’s hand; Perhaps as Jesus Christ begins releasing seals He’s also preparing the way to redeem them at the perfect moment. We can only guess why He’d delay, but He clearly more than implied that He’d tarry, but also that, when He’s ready, He’ll come very quickly.

What if Jesus doesn’t gather His Barley Harvest by any of these dates?
We’ll begin by taking an adjusted look at each of the high watch days that we studied last year.
Appointments with God are Dress Rehearsals
In the past it seemed to me to make most sense that Jesus Christ would gather His saints on a Torah prescribed holy convocation, because God’s harvests of souls are very important to Him and, because our Savior said, “I’ve not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it,” and because He seemed to have fulfilled four of seven of them in perfect order with His first coming. But, after much study, some watchers in the community have come around, like me, to consider that without the temple of God actually standing, it might not be possible for the remaining three holy convocations to be fulfilled, not until it’s rebuilt.
The following is a review of the high watch intervals that many of watchers, including myself, focused on in 2024:
We began with the Spring holy convocations/appointed times starting with Nissan 1 (April 8-9 ’24 AD), which began on the day after the conclusion of The Great American Eclipse, which spelled out the Aleph & Tav messianic signature of Jesus Christ.
We began with the Spring holy convocations/appointed times starting with Nissan 1 (April 8-9 ’24 AD), which began on the day after the conclusion of The Great American Eclipse, which spelled out the Aleph & Tav messianic signature of Jesus Christ. It was a warning and it turned out to be the first day of the-70th-week-of-Daniel, which is the final week-of-years of God’s allotment for human rebellion. See Post:
Then we studied the harvest typology of Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits! Without the excitement of the imminence of His return, going through the process of understanding all of God’s harvests of the earth would’ve been impossible.
The very interesting possibility of Pentecost/Shavuot 2024 came and went in 2024, but it’s still the appointed time that was, and is, loaded with the most Messianic Barley Bride Harvest symbolism! There’s a question about if it was completely fulfilled in the year of Christ’s ascension, because He wasn’t on or near the earth on the day He sent His Holy Spirit down. Some Bereans think that since Pentecost is a pilgrimage, and the Holy Spirit has yet to make the return trip to heaven, with the saints, that Pentecost couldn’t have been completely fulfilled. It’ll continues to be a high watch time for me in 2025. There’s always a possible one month delay for Spring to spring and for barley to ripen. But there’s also the tarry and the fact that Jesus said He’d come on a day we won’t expect. What will I be doing? I’ll be watching! Why? Jesus said WATCH!
There were two very interesting high watch intervals in late Spring/Summer. One is when ‘the bread meets the wine’. That’s the overlap of the wheat harvest, the end of the grain harvests, with the grape harvest. For the Israelites, it was the time of marriages and even the ‘snatching of brides’ by the tribe of Benjamin! And of course, there was the 9th of Av, the day of disasters! What would more disastrous to the Israelite Jews than God taking His mostly gentile bride! Although, making them jealous turns out to be a very good thing for them.
1.55 DOOR, Glory of God
I think Jesus Christ wants us to get to know Him better by trekking through this entire adventurous process, at least those who are led by the spirit to take this type of journey!
He is Love and merciful, and ultimately He brings perfect justice. Vengeance belongs only to Him because He’s the only perfect. Eternal grace to those who believe that God gave Himself, in the person of His beloved Son/God the Son, and payed the full price of our unpayable eternal sin debt; And that He will adopt us into His holy eternal family. Then He’ll delight in sharing the mysteries of all truth with us, imparting complete knowledge and wisdom, the treasures of which are hidden in God the Father, the Holy Spirit and the Christ.
Then came Yom Teruah commonly called Feast of Trumpets upon which a major prophetic event occurred in 2024! (See posts 3, 5 & 8.)
Yom Teruah (Trumpets), with its many trumpet blows, seems to have been partially fulfilled in 2023 and again in 2024 with partial removals of the restrainer, as controlled by the Lamb of God. In my opinion, He has broken the first and second seals from YHWH’s throne room by the time I’m writing this. It makes perfect sense based upon the major events that followed in both those years.
1.56 DOOR, Glory of God
This site definitely respects that the Holy Spirit has been working through saints to restrain the antichrist spirit on Earth. That includes restraining the Antichrist himself. But, I also think that the Holy Spirit restrains in other ways. Remember when God said to Zerubabbel that the second temple would be built not by might but by His Spirit. The seals on the scroll also restrain. I believe the Holy Spirit in involved with that as well, just in a different way. Revelation 4 makes a HUGE deal about Jesus Christ being the only one in the universe worthy to break them!
Yom Teruah didn’t turn out to be the day of the Open Door Harvest in 2024, so when it passed, AlephTav.blog refocused on Yom Kippur.
Glory to Almighty God in the Highest, Lord of the Ages!
Jesus is our High Priest and Sole the Atoner of our sins with His precious blood.
It’s now apparent that the October 2024 Day of Atonement wasn’t the appointed time of our gathering to our beloved Bridegroom, Redeemer, Savior of the world. The Day of Atonement was my first choice, because of its meaning; It’s His life blood that coversus. But, perhaps that was a private day between Him and His/our Heavenly Father. I’ll pray for more understanding.
1.57 DOOR, Glory of God
Sukkot was the next appointed time interval:
Sukkot, also called the Feast of Tabernacles, is the 7 + 1 day pilgrimage appointed time/holy convocation. It was the one, mentioned in the Book of Acts that Jesus Christ didn’t attend at first, because the Pharisees and Sanhedrin were planning to kill Him. Jesus tarried, then He attended incognito at first, but halfway through He began teaching in the temple courts. On the greatest and last day of Sukkot, Hoshana Rabbah, Jesus gave these words: “Let anyone who’s thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
Sukkot, is loaded with the most harvest symbolism and has the literal ‘last trumpet’ blow of the year on God’s Torah calendar! There have been 21 trumpet blows practiced traditionally. It makes sense because the last day of Sukkot is 21 days from Feast of Trumpets (inclusive counting). It’s interesting that it matches the number of the seals + trumpets + bowls, in the Book of Revelation that lead up to the final Battle of Armageddon! Torah Law requires trumpet blows on Sukkot, but they’re only over sacrifices.
Since there’s neither a temple of God nor animal sacrifices for God right now why did we watch? Well . . . we were still excited about the evidence for our Lord and Savior’s return in 2024, and so didn’t want to overlook any possible appointed days in 2024, especially those with huge harvest, trumpet, messianic even tarrying’ typology. It might’ve been the day our Lord and Savior came for us; We knew we didn’t know everything and didn’t want to shut ‘our doors’ on that possibility in case it was THE DOOR.
1.58 DOOR, Glory of God
Another reason Sukkot is especially interesting was because: It’s a pilgrimage! The harpatzo/rapture can be seen as a leg of a pilgrimage. The mysterious Open Door Harvested Saints, the Tribulation Saints and most likely also the saints from the Olivet Harvest will make a journey from Earth to heaven, but will return to Earth with Christ. At that time, on the return leg of the ultimate pilgrimage, He’ll be in His Awesome Glory!
What purpose will the Levitical Priesthood actually serve when Third Temple is built?
One might wonder how we could’ve even considered ‘Sukkot’ when the Day of Atonement 2024 hadn’t yet been fulfilled? I’m not getting deeply into it here, but there’s the possibility that Jesus Christ did partially fulfill Yom Kippur when He atoned for our sins with His blood in 31 AD. Some scholars think Jesus sprinkled his blood on the heavenly Ark of the Covenant after His ascension to the heavenly Zion. But, since the reported discovery of the Ark of the Covenant in a cave immediately below where Jesus Christ was crucified at Golgotha, other saints believe that His holy blood dripped down through the rocks and landed on the Mercy Seat during His crucifixion.
1.59 DOOR, Glory of God
So then why not completely fulfilled? That could only be because God’s plan isn’t completely fulfilled until at least 1/3 of the Jews are atoned for; God must fulfill His promise to Abraham. Daniel 9:27, in the Old Greek, makes it clear that the Old Covenant isn’t consummated until just before the sacrifices and oblations in the 3rd temple are stopped by the Beast.
Finally, there’s also the special 8th day of Sukkot, ‘Shemini Atzeret’ an extension for the purpose of lingering, because it’s so lovely. One day we will linger with our Lord during this beautiful outdoor memorial.
All along we learned about the amazing Messianic typologies and all these will again be high watches in 2025.
If we’re still here.
Anniversary of Noah’s Ark
After the season of High Holy Days passed. Watchers, including myself, turned our focus on the anniversary of the day God closed the door of Noah’s Ark, and seven days before that, because Jesus Christ is the Ark and He is also The Door.
PS –
TheRed heifer ashes are necessary to purify the 3rd masonry temple of God.
A special focus on the Tribulation Saints of the Sixth Seal and how it eventually lead me to the understanding of all the harvests. This topic has been the most challenging to articulate.
The sixth seal rapture timing viewpoint seemed to be the most neglected viewpoint for believers looking to prove just one harvest event, as I used to. It was the obvious conclusion to come to when studying the New Testament in the most basic and direct way, taking it at face value in order not to miss whatever might be straight forward. I took that approach because I needed to extract myself from all the opinions that were opposing each other and surrounding me on every side. What came to really stand out to me was how so many Bible teachers were ignoring the uncountable multitude of saints that St Paul saw standing in God’s throne room at the end of the sixth seal.
9After these things I looked, and this is what I saw: a vast multitude which no one could count, [gathered] from every nation and from all the tribes and peoples and languages [of the earth], standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Christ), dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands; 10and in a loud voice they cried out, saying, “Salvation [belongs] to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.” 11And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the [twenty-four] elders and the four living creatures; and they fell to their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12saying, Amen! Blessing and glory and majesty and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might belong to our God forever and ever. Amen. 13Then one of the elders responded, saying to me, “These who are dressed in the long white robes—who are they, and from where did they come?” 14 I said to him, “My lord, you know the answer.” And he said to me, “These are the people who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb” [because of His atoning sacrifice].15For this reason, they are [standing] before the throne of God; and they serve Him [in worship] day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them and shelter and protect them [with His presence]. 16They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any [scorching] heat; 17for the Lamb who is in the center of the throne will be their Shepherd, and He will guide them to springs of the waters of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
With time and closer inspection, I discovered that the sixth seal harvest, although by far the largest harvest of the body of Christ, is not the only harvest. I saw that my sixth seal harvest perspective was flawed; And although its ‘flaw’ seemed to be remedied in part by leaning preferentially on St. Paul’s teachings, I actually had to embrace the full complexity of the New Testament, piece by piece, to resolve all the issues. Only then did I come to understand that the core of the disagreements among Pastors, Bible teachers, scholars, saints and scholars came from the fact that the vast majority of them hold to the conviction that there’s only one harvest of saints.
But before I knew all that, and while my initial studies were still clearly pointing me to the sixth seal as the harvest of all of God’s new covenant saints, I began making basic preparations in order to survive the great tribulation of the 4th seal. (not God’s wrath which is the greatest tribulation that starts at the 7th seal) My preps were partly spiritual and partly physical, such as learning how to fish and garden. I stocked up on coffee, water, medicine and extra resources to help others, especially Christians, to make it through what I deduced would be about a year long trial.
2.1 Saints, Glory God Beyond
Then things changed – a personal note – preparing a ‘time capsule’ for the left behind:
After further study and prayer, I realized there’s also an earlier harvest for the bride of Christ, which most likely includes the bridesmaids. (See posts 1 and 18)I’ve been glad that some of the preps I’d made might become useful for those who’ll be left behind (hopefully to soon become tribulation saints); So I continued prepping somethings for them. But for myself, I came to focus on insuring that I am truly betrothed to Jesus Christ through obedience, abiding in Him and His word. Also of course, hearing His voice, bearing fruit for Him and doing the works He made for me, in order that I may be clothed with them for eternity.
Soon I discovered other watchers who were making kits for the left behind and I sort of joined them; I started to consider AlephTav.blog to be in part a service to the left behind, yet it’s also good to divert believers from getting left behind, for understanding the signs of the end-times and for resolving prophesies. I think we should all try to seek out individuals to whom the Lord might want us to leave other things, survival things; but truth is of the highest priority; “Man can not live by bread alone but on every word that comes out of the Mouth of God”(Matt. 4:4). Daniel 7:25 informs us that the Beast is going to try to eliminate Biblical calendrical knowledge by changing the ‘times and laws’ probably by rewriting Bibles. AI has already been adulterating online Bibles and a very wealthy Muslim family just purchased one of the largest Christian book companies. Woe to those who can’t tell the difference! The Bible warns about a ‘dessert of the WORD.’
So the early harvest for the bride and probably the bridesmaids that I came to focus on is: Jesus Christ’s Open Door for His Church of Philadelphia; I’ve been praying to be invited through His open door. He Himself is The DOOR .
IJesus am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” John 10:9-11
Eventually this understanding completely took over for me. Although it wasn’t possible until I fully understood that the mistranslations of 2 Thessalonians 2 had deceived me into thinking that the bride/true church wouldn’t be redeemed until after the Antichrist sits in the holy place. See post:
But this post is not about the the harvest of Christ’s bride,
its about the harvest of the tribulation saints.

Only after that are the Tribulation Saints seen in Heaven
As the harvest of the trib. saints is separate from the harvest of the bride, (discussed abovebut proofs are on other posts), the harvest of the trib. saints is also separate from the harvest of the Jews .
When comparing parallel passages in the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) to the very similar words in the Book of Revelation at the conclusion of the sixth seal, it was once mind boggling to me that I’d rarely heard the possibility of ‘a sixth seal harvest’ mentioned by Bible teachers, preachers or commentators. The idea itself wasn’t even broached, not even for the purpose of pointing out how similar its verses seems to the ones in the Olivet Harvest see below! Perhaps they’re afraid of the topic. It can’t be that they understand so clearly that they’re separate harvests to the point where they feel ‘far above’ even being interested in the topic, or that they just didn’t want to confuse people by bringing up the similarities for concern that it might make believers conflate the two harvests; Those can’t be the case since I’m talking about ‘the majority’ who are of the absolute conviction that there is only one harvest! as mentioned above
How Exactly Do Revelation’s Sixth Seal Verses Line up with the Olivet Discourse?
Although the cosmic signs do seem to line up amazingly, there are actually 4 other very impressive earthquakes and many similar cosmic events in the sun, moon and stars, occurring in God’s final ~4.5 years before His Millennial Kingdom begins;Each time dramatic signs and events occur, they’ll frighten people. (But it’s worth noting that ‘frightening the people’ isn’t mentioned in Matt. 24 and Mark 13.) And since we’re teasing out every detail . . . The ‘redemption of the tribulation saints’ isn’t mentioned in Rev. 6. The Tribulation Saints are only seen as having arrived safely in God’s throne room, immediately after the sealing of the 144,000 (Rev. 7); If the Olivet Discourse were the same harvest, wouldn’t the 144,000 pure, virgin, obedient Israelite brothers of Christ sealed to remain on Earth safely have been mentioned by Jesus? Those are the 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Jacob/Israel!Think about it; The Olivet Discourse was given by Jesus Christ the Jewish Messiah while sitting on the Mount of Olives with His select Jewish apostles, while they were looking down upon Jerusalem and the 2nd temple; Jesus indirectly gave them instruction for their future Jewish brethren, exact instructions about how they must flee Jerusalem when they see the end of time abomination of desolation being setup on the wing of the 3rd temple!
Here’s another divergence between the two harvests. It’s between the descriptive phrases ‘the heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up’ Rev. 6 vs ‘heavenly bodies will be shaken The Gospels. Only the Rev. 6:14 verse implies an actual displacement of Earth’s axis and/or orbit that will move every mountain and island from its place.
Although there are three ‘synoptic’ gospels, there was only one Olivet Discourse in which Jesus Christ revealed what’s to come for the Jews at the end of this age.
But the synoptic gospels have been recorded from three different vantage points and that’s not the same as three different witnesses from three separate prophesies. Now many modern Bible expositors hold the belief that Matthew Mark and Luke each hint at a different harvest: Matthew to the Jews, Mark to the tribulation saints and Luke to the bride of Christ. And although the individual points they make to defend their hypotheses sound intriguing, I’m unconvinced. Therefore, on this post, I’m sticking with the unmistakable things that apply only to the final harvest, the grape harvest of the Jews.
The Revelation 6: 12-17 verses dazzled me . . .
. . . so much at first, that they kind of blinded me when the frightened people say, “Hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” Since I was a bit dazzled, I fully equated that with the Olivet Discourse harvest which says, . . . “when you seethe Son of Man coming in the clouds with power and great glory.” But . . .
2.5 Saints, Glory God Beyond
Here’s the first thing I overlooked:
Revelation’s Sixth Seal and the Olivet Discourse can’t be referring to the same harvest because the Olivet Discourse clearly describes the Son of Man coming to harvest the Jews after the greatEST tribulation on Earth, (although God will provide a 1260 refuge for them after they flee) while Rev. 6:17 only says “the great day of their wrath has arrived,”which was announced right after the one who sits on the throne became visible to the people on Earth – showing that His wrath was just about to begin! And then very soon after that brief introduction to wrath, the tribulation saints were seen in heaven having escaped it.
These are the verses from the synoptic Gospels:
Olivet Discourse – Matt. 24:21,“For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.”(Only after this, in verse 29, signs in the cosmos were mentioned.)
Olivet Discourse – Mark 13: 19-20, “because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them.” (Only after the Jews see the A.O.D. and flee, signs in the cosmos are mentioned in verse 24.)
Olivet Discourse – Luke 21:22, “For these are the days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written.”(Only in verse 25 are signs in the cosmos mentioned and with the ‘tossing of the sea’ added.)
2.6 Saints, Glory God Beyond
There’s even more proof below, that the Sixth Seal and the Olivet Discourse Harvests are different, but first one more proof here:
No throne of God the Father appearing in the heavenlies to everybody on Earth was mentioned the Olivet Discourse accounts. So what could be more impressive than God Almighty’s throne appearing to all humanity from the heavens above? And what could be more unlikely than Jesus Christ not mentioning His Fathers’ very first appearance to all the people on Earth, in His longest and most detailed prophetic discourse?
2.7 Saints, Glory God Beyond
The Sixth Seal and the Olivet Discourse harvests are clearly not the same!
The rest of the explanations of why the Sixth Seal and Olivet Harvest are different are given below at marks: 2.15, 2.20, 2.26 and 2.28.
If scribes or Bible translators or their institutions held to the belief that the Olivet and the Sixth Seal harvests were the same, they would’ve been more likely use words to translated with thatmade the verses seem to be a bit more closely aligned than theyotherwise would have.
I tried to cover the 5th seal martyrs and martyrs in general here,
But it turned out to be too lengthy to keep and too important to ignore, so it’s here:
The First Fruits of the Barley Harvest could also be the captives Jesus removed from the ‘Bosom of Abraham’ in Hades when “He took captivity captive.”Also, my interpretation of the two grape harvests of Rev. 14, is that only the second one is the grapes of wrath.

Back to: Why the Rev. Sixth Seal Harvest isn’t the Olivet Discourse Harvest:
The great multitude of Tribulation Saints:
After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
Revelation 7:9
So Important!: The Olivet Harvest is unlike the Barley Harvest (His bride) and Wheat Harvest (tribulation saints) in that it’s not for every nation, tribe, people and language. The Olivet Harvest is the harvest that’s overwhelmingly for the Jews. There’s a complete proof study here . . .
Now finishing up this post with something related but a bit different . . .
Increased Biblical knowledge leads us to let go of a few cherished simpler explanations.
Biblical knowledge has been increasing dramatically, and through this new learning process many of us, including myself along with my family in Christ, locally and online in watcher communities, have come to fully understand from scripture, that there are three different crops of saints, each with first fruits, an owners portion and gleanings.
2.10 Saints, Glory God Beyond
This viewpoint fits best when the Book of Revelation is understood to bewell ordered and chronological.
I see the Book of Revelation as an exceptionally orderly book in the sense that, when zooming out, it’s chronological, despite the fact that it contains one huge parenthetical section with symbolism that reaches back in time to the three ascensions of the body of Christ: First Christ’s own resurrected body ascended; Next, about 1,996 years later, His bride (and possibly His bridesmaids) ascended; And not long after that, His tribulation saints ascended. All those make up ‘the body of Christ’ who’ll rule Earth by Christ’ side with an iron rod.I used the past tense since the parenthetical Revelation 12 sign passages are a figurative summary only shown to St Paul after the Lord had already shown him many chronological future end times events, and that Christ’s bride and tribulation had already been taken off the earth before the parenthetical section. Together all true Christians are ‘the body of Christ and share in the unimaginably generous inheritance that God our Father has given His Son Jesus Christ. So why does the Revelation 12 sign start by showing the Body of Christ coming out of the woman ‘Hebrew-Israel’? It’s because that sets the stage for us to focus on the final crop of saints, the main part of the grape harvest of the Jews! The woman ‘Hebrew-Israel’ then immediately flees satan, who’s represented by the dragon in Revelation 12. Satan first tried to destroy Christ and then the body of Christ but was unsuccessful because both His body was caught up to heaven. Then Satan turns against the woman who runs to a safe place in the wilderness that God has prepared for her.
8/30/26 Update: 9 years, representing 9 months of gestation have passed since the very famous 2017 Revelation 12 sign appeared in the heavens. We believe that water broke on August 29 when the blood moon was in Aquarius. (“came by water and blood.” John 1 5-6) It’s time for Christ’s bride to be lifted up, likely on Sept. 11 ’26; I think His tribulation saints will follow within a year.
In addition to the great parentheses of Revelation 12, The Book of Revelation also uses a few simple temporal overlaps:
An example of a forward overlap: The chain of events released when Jesus breaks the first, second and third seals (horsemen) overlap each other combining to bring about the death of a quarter of humanity at the fourth seal.
2.11 Saints, Glory God Beyond
Also backward overlaps arecommon to storytelling: To tell a complex story people must consistently ‘go back’ and ‘pick up threads’ that were left off since it’s impossible to forward relate everything at the same time.
Diverging to the harvest of Christ’s bride and how it sets off the great tribulation and the harvest of His Tribulation Saints.
Understanding the timing: How the Open Door Harvest aligns with the climactic moment when the Lamb of God, the only worthy one in the universe to receive the scroll of the Deed to Earth from the hand of Holy Father Almighty, requires flexibility on our part. For example, if Christ’s tarry began before and continued on for awhile after what I call the Midnight Cry Event, which was the day He broke the first seal of the scroll, about 6 months before ‘the beginning of the end of the church age’ on April 9 ’24 ADsee post 3, his bride might wonder what she should be doing now, while persevering through the final wait. I believe the bridesmaids are persevering too, those who have enough oil. Wouldn’t Jesus Christ want His bride to be working in order to edify and ready the bridesmaids, martyrs and tribulation saints for their respective roles? After all the role of the wife has always been to be the beloved helpmate of her husband. If the betrothal is modeled on ancient Jewish tradition, there’s a waiting period after the betrothal while the groom builds her a house; But I think there’s also another waiting period for the bride of Christ after the midnight cry. Symbolically that’s the time in His parable of the 10 virgins when the 5 unwise virgins went out buy more oil for their lamps, which were going out. Now His betrothed saints are not the very same as the wise virgins, but its all about entry to His marriage supper event in heaven. Since all 10 virgins fell asleep while waiting for the midnight cry, the thing that differentiated the bride might be that she never fell asleep (slipped back into living for the world). His bride’s been watching carefully for awhile now, and it seems that she’s being shown the glory of the meanings of the wait itself as well as of the stepping stones that have been marking the times of the wait, and why it’s magnificent, glorifying Jesus Christ even more!
2.12 Saints, Glory God Beyond
Many believers have been taught that Christ’s bride must be physically present in God’s throne room, before God our Father presents the Lamb of God with the scroll of the Deed to Earth. That’s why so many Christians think the 24 elders are the bride. Huh? The 24 elders can not be the bride, as the 24 elders sang a song to praise the Lamb of God for redeeming ‘them’ with His blood. Who do the 24 elders mean by the word ‘them’?
There are 7 very conspicuous blazing torches in God’s throne room in front of His throne, which were noted by St John in the 5th verse after the evaluation Jesus Christ gave regarding to the 7th ‘lamp stand’ the final church! After that, St. John saw the open door to heaven; In the next verse he saw a throne (in the center of which the Lamb who was slain will soon appear); In the third verse he described someone awesome on the throne and in the forth verse he saw the 24 elders surrounding the one on the throne. Then he saw the blazing torches or lamp stands. After that he saw a sea of glass followed by the four living creatures in the center around the throne. Next Father God holds out a sealed scroll with His right hand, but nobody in the universe is worthy to break it’s seals. St John cries and cries until one of the elders says:
Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals. Rev. 5:5
Then the Lamb who was slain appears at the center of the throne surrounded by the 4 creatures and 24 elders worshiping Him. He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne!
About the blazing lamp stands in front of God’s throne, does anybody think God needs firelight in order to see? Revelation specifically states that there will be no need for the sun and the moon on the New Earth; Although they’ll still exist, they’ll be ‘put to shame’ by the most holy light of Father God and Jesus Christ themselves. So lets consider the 7 blazing lamp stands/torches in the throne room of God, which St. John saw just two verses after he saw God sitting on the throne. . .
2.13 Saints, Glory God Beyond
The song that the 24 ‘elders’ sang, referred to ‘them,’ as those who were redeemed by Christ’s blood. . . How are ‘they’ represented in God’s throne room?
The following is the Greek word for ‘they.’ Almost every translation gets it right but both King James versions got it wrong by translating ‘it’ as ‘us’ when it literally means ‘not us’!
them {into} αὐτοὺς (autous) Personal / Possessive Pronoun – Accusative Masculine 3rd Person Plural Strong’s 846: He, she, it, they, them, same. From the particle au; the reflexive pronoun self, used of the third person, and of the other persons.
How is Christ’s bride represented in God’s throne room until she arrives there in her glorified bodies? It’s the lamp stands of course! They’re presence represents the condition of Christ’s bride, while she remains on Earth, like a measuring device in which the flames constantly indicate her role in being the light of the earth, which is only possible when she allows the the Holy Spirit to work through her.
2.14 Saints, Glory God Beyond
The precedent was the Menorah. It Served Practically the Same Purpose in God’s Old Covenant Temple.
This is recorded in the Talmud . . .
. . . that from the time of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the menorah constantly blew out for 40yrs. until the temple was destroyed. The earthly temple was a reflection of God’s heavenly temple; They’re linked and that means there was also a seven branched menorah in God’s throne room reflecting what the Old Covenant temple priests were doing on Earth.
While in God’s throne room, St. John saw the seven fold spirit represented by 7 blazing torches before God’s throne (also reflecting the New Covenant betrothal). He wrote about it just verses after he’d seen Jesus walk among 7 lamp stands in his vision on the Island of Patmos. Then immediately he went up though the ‘Open Door’ to God’s Throne Room. St. John would have seen the bride of Christ standing there if she were actually present when the 24 elders burst into their famous song about Christ having redeemed ‘them’ (His bride and possibly His bridesmaids) with His blood.. After all, St. John later saw the uncountable number of Tribulation Saints in bodily form, standing in Gods throne room, wearing long white robes, singing songs of praise and waving palm branches in Rev. 7: 9-17.
2.15 Saints, Glory God Beyond
The very act of witnessing the blazes of the 7 lamp stands before God’s throne, as they simultaneously reached their radiant fullness must have been the indicator that Christ’s bride’s has made herself ready meaning it’s time for Jesus Christ, the Worthy One, to begin breaking the seals of the scroll; That’s what caused the 24 elders to burst into their most special song of praise!
7 Full Blazes . . .
. . . must mean that every one of the 7 church types will have Holy Spirit anointed members who are not grieving the Holy Spirit, even at the end of this age; They’ll be alive and actively burning forth the light of truth into this, dark world for the Lord! Those are the saints who’ll be consuming Him, THE WORD, and shining it forth. I think that’s what convinces Father God to hand the scroll to Jesus. I’m not saying that God wouldn’t have known about it without the lamp stands and the flames as the indicator. He’s all-knowing; I’m saying that the lamp stands/torches are also placed there for His pleasure and to show what’s important to Him. The lamp stands/torches also serve to continuously demonstrate to the all intelligent inhabitants of the third heaven, the state of the Christ’s bride at a single glance. There can’t be a Kingdom with only a King and a planet. A King requires subjects; When Jesus has His first, closest and most passionate large group of tested loyal subjects, His bride and bridesmaids, His Kingdom is ready to move forward! The scroll is the Deed to Earth, and the time for Him to begin breaking the seals will have arrived and so He will bring back the foundation (eden)! We can celebrate that now because it’s happening right now! We will miss that opportunity if we believe we must wait until we arrive in God’s throne room. (In my opinion)
This important event may have been the ‘midnight cry’ of Jesus Christ’s Parable of the 10 Virgins/Bridesmaids, because it set off alarms for those saints who were already awake, Christ’s bride; But it seems to have also begun an awakening among the wise bridesmaids, who were asleep.
Excerpt from the Parable of the 10 Bridesmaids:
. . . And in the middle of the night there was an outcry, “Behold, The groom has come, go out to meet him. ”Then all the virgins arose, and prepared their lamps. But those foolish ones said to the wise, Give to us from your oil; for, behold, our lamps are gone out. But the wise ones answered them, saying, Lest it should not suffice for us and for you; but go to those who sell, and buy for you. And while they were gone to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were prepared entered with him into the house of festivity, and the gate was shut. At last came also those other virgins, saying, Our Lord, our Lord, open to us! But he answered and said to them, Assuredly I tell you, I know you not.
If the SDG 2030 Agenda was the ‘Midnight Cry’, and I think it is, it indicates that Christ’s Open Door for the Church of Philadelphia , which is for His bride will also stay open for the wise bridesmaids . Rev. 3: 8-10.
I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. .I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. .Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. (Rev. 3: 8-10)

The Paris Agreement pt. 2 / SDG Agenda 2030
Don’t be fooled by the childlike imagery; It’s very serious.
Scroll to mark 3.34 for more on SDG basics and concerns.
The First Seal of the Deed to the Earth
There’s good reason to believe that the MIDNIGHT CRY went out, when Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, removed ‘the first restraining seal’ of the scroll, the Deed to the Earth just before the earth dwellers made their first big move to take over Earth.
3.2 Cry, Glory God Beyond
As Jesus Christ broke the first seal of the scroll , trumpets blew and the alarming thing that followed, effecting the whole earth, was the adoption of the UN SDG 2030 Agenda, for 7 accelerated years! (The SDG’s are based on King Charles III’s COPS see below)
The SDG’s were heralded on the Feast of Trumpets. Rabbinically that was Sept 16-17th ’23 AD; But rabbis only blasted their trumpets on Sept. 17, because Sept. 16 was a Sabbath. The SDG four day double-event was actually a special part of the greater 78th convening of the UN in NYC.
Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets) is one of God’s 7 yearly Torah appointed times.
3.3 Cry, Glory God Beyond
As Rabbinical Jews sounded trumpets in Jerusalem and across the world, the first part of the SDG gathering, called the Opening Plenary Acceleration got serious. That’s when the real decisions were made. That was during the Sept. 16-17, UN SDG Action Weekend, which immediately preceded the Sept. 18-19 UN SDG 2030 Summit. Ratification occurred on the last day of the summit. You’ll see below why the exact days are very important.
The special focus on the UN SDG 2030 Agenda tookdays in total.
It concluded with 193 nations including Israel, US, UK, Russia, Iran and Turkey, all aligning to the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030 Agenda. No vote or signage was required; It was called ‘unanimous adoption.’ I have good reasons to think it was made possible by Jesus Christ releasing the first seal on the scroll of the deed to the Earth, the one that was restraining the First Horseman of the Apocalypse.
It was a strengthening of the preexisting Paris Agreement for an additional and accelerated 7 years until Autumn of 2030. The whole world had never aligned like this before that, but during the first 7 years the necessary technology hadn’t advanced enough for the world to meet its goals. Now it has; The USA pulled out in Jan. ’26, but things had already been greatly strengthened by then. explained below All ancient Biblical prophesies about the end of this age conclude at or near the end of the second set of these 7 years. See post 4.The Countdown https://alephtav.blog/4-last7yrs/
21 days after Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets) the Hamas Massacre took place.
The number
21
is perhaps the most highly symbolic number in the Bible.
And within a year, the whole world was talking about WW3!
3.5 Cry, Glory God Beyond
Sept 16-19 2023 AD marked the wake up call.
With this wake up call, God Almighty gave us a six month long heads up to prepare for the final week of years of this age, usually referred to as the 70th week of Daniel.
Update: From the beginning of being a watcher I sensed that Jesus Christ was getting ready to break the seals, starting with the release of the White Horseman of the Apocalypse (see posts 14 & 13.) But today, on May 29 ’26 AD, I just found what appears to be surprisingly strong, extra evidence that it’s true. What’s true is that He broke the first seal and it was marked by the SDG 2030 event. But you must read on, past the next paragraph, if you don’t know who and what this event was really historically based on!
The only other interesting possibility that I ever considered for the date of the release of the White Horseman of the Apocalypse, was the date of the Coronation on King Charles III on May 6 ’23 AD. But, that was only 134 days before the trumpets were blown and 136 days before the SDG 2030 Agenda was ratified. So, I decided to look up those numbers in Strong’s concordance. . .
3.6 Cry, Glory God Beyond
The video below shows cosmological evidence for Jesus having the released the white horseman in 2023: Two Leaders, Two Eclipses And The Story of Esther – Why the 4/20/2023 Eclipse Will Change Everythinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiqzJpGLHQo
Now the full impact of the words that these two numbers identify will only deeply effect individuals who understand that: The moment Father God hands the scroll to the Lamb of God is the first of the final 3 most climactic moments of all time! Here’s the verse that shows the glory/gravitas of the moment:
Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the one seated on the throne. It had writing on the front and the back, and it was sealed with seven seals. .I saw a powerful angel, who proclaimed in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” .But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or look inside it. .So I began to weep and weep, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look inside it. .Then one of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Look! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has emerged victorious so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
(Rev. 5: 1-5 – St. John in God’s throne room)
Now in the Hebrew Strongs concordance, H134אֶדֶן ‘eden’ means delight, pleasure and foundation and H136אֲדֹנָי ‘Adonay’ means: Lord, Master (main title used especially for God as our Lord)!
{This points to the joy of the Lord Jesus Christ in being found to be the one worthy to release the restrainer, seal by seal, in order to begin to bring back what was lost in the Garden of Eden.} {This also marks the eternal joy/delight/pleasure that humanity will experience, when we return to Eden. Eden will be a holy city. But, Eden means both joy and foundation; And the reason it’s our eternal joy is because its foundation is the Lord!} Thank you Jesus!
In the Koine Greek Strongs, G134 and G136 is also surprisingly revealing!
Rev. 5 8-14 . . .
Then, in between the throne and the four living creatures and among the
elders, I saw a Lamb, standing as if it had been slain.It had seven horns and seven eyes, which are God’s seven spirits, sent out into the whole earth.
3.8 Cry, Glory God Beyond
He came forward and took thescroll from the right hand of the one seated on the throne. When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four eldersfell down before the Lamb. Each held a harp and gold bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
They took upa new song,saying,“You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, because you were slain, and by your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe, language, people, and nation. You made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will rule on earth.”
3.9 Cry, Glory God Beyond
Then I looked, and I heard the sound of many angels surrounding the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. They numbered in the millions—thousands upon thousands.
They said in a loud voice,“Worthy is the slaughtered Lamb to receive power, wealth, wisdom, and might, and honor, glory, and blessing.”
And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea—I heard everything everywhere say,“Blessing, honor, glory, and power belong to the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb forever and always.”
3.10 Cry, Glory God Beyond
Then the four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshipped.
On top of all of that, I did a little fun research on the fact that a day for the Lord is like a 1,000 years for us.
If that’s literal, I was just curious about . . . If it takes one second for Jesus to break a seal of the scroll in heaven, according to how time passes there, how much time will pass on Earth while he breaks it? Interestingly, I came up with 4 days! What’s like one second in God’s heaven feels like 4 days for us here on Earth. Well, the SDG Action Weekend, which aligned exactly with Yom Teruah /Feast of Trumpets, starting with the Torah day God prescribed and completing with the extra diaspora day that Rabbinical Judaism adapted, and following that with the 2 day SDG Summit! That’s 4 days! Woah!
Even if this wasn’t the actual Midnight Cry, it was still obviously a major alarm;. See post 1. Jesus Is The Door His bride watches https://alephtav.blog/1-hisbride/ for the August 12 ’26 cosmic sign.
This Next Part of this Post Will Look at How the World Agenda Led to This Agreement.
3.11 Cry, Glory God Beyond
Lets start by reading this quote from an article by Muckraker: It seems to be where the Georgia Guidestones perspective came from.
The Club Of Rome’s Plan for Mass Human Depopulation
At the heart of Agenda 2030 are the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). These SDGs, if implemented successfully, can only result in the depopulation of humanity. The goals include: reducing consumption, limiting and eventually ending the use of fossil fuels (the lifeblood of human civilization today), promoting LGBTQ sexual orientations (these people most likely will not or cannot have children of their own, an implicit form of birth control), and establishing a world socialist state. Socialism (of the communistic variety) has killed more people over the last 100 years than all of the other wars in the same time period combined). The United Nations and associated organizations are proceeding full steam ahead with the implementation of this agenda.
3.12 Cry, Glory God Beyond
Powerful entities are working around the clock to eliminate the majority of the world’s population. Bill Gates is funding technology to block out the sun, the World Economic Forum is encouraging people to eat bugs instead of meat, food processing plants are being blown up; and despite the fact that the COVID-19 lock downs killed millions of people across the globe, the imposition of climate lock downs appears to be on the horizon.” There’s too much more here, and I dare not make a list. See post 22.
Jesus Christ the Worthy, Breaks the First Seal, then
So I looked and saw a white horse, and its rider held a bow. And he was given a crown [στέφανος (stephanos – a garland, a crown of achievement)], and he rode out to overcome and conquer. Rev. 6:2
A non-militant rider on the ‘white’ horse that symbolizes false peace, advances behind the scenes. He’s the antichrist to be. And he’s most likely King Charles III. (See enormous evidence in post 14.) The Green Horizon Summit in 2020 was tightly related to the SDG 2030 Agenda. See how he was wearing a virtual stephanos crown? The halo represents the 17 goals of the Paris Agreement and the Paris Agreement pt.2, which is the SDG 2030 Agenda.
3.13 Cry, Glory God Beyond
King Charles has been the chief force behind The Great Reset.
The great merchants of Earth and the powers that be, are using climate as an excuse to take over the world. It’ll be enforced with artificial intelligence,trans humanism, digital ID, the mark-of-the-beast, and the great deception.
Exactly 313 days, appx. 10.4 months after Jesus Christ broke the first seal, releasing the First Horseman of the Apocalypse, the Paris Olympics opening ceremony staged his ‘coming out’. It strutted as the world’s gazed. It carried a bow with no arrow in the form of a rainbow flag. Bows symbolize covenants in the Bible. The rainbow is the sign of the covenant that God made with Noah when God promised that He’ll never again destroy the world with water. see post 14
In the same ceremony, the Last Supper of Jesus Christwas mocked and was replaced by an ugly clown-like slop of Dionysus, a seduction to debauchery.
3.16 Cry, Glory God Beyond
Jesus Christ Graciously Forewarned Us:
Jesus forewarned us about a great number of things, but many of the believers who recently ‘woke up’, after the Midnight Cry, have come to focus on the Daniel 9:27 covenant or agreement, but only translations made from the Masoretic text.
About the Daniel 9:27 covenant:
At first, the UN SDG 2030 Agenda (the ‘Paris Agreement pt.2) seemed to be the Daniel 9:27 agreement; But that changed for me on the Oct. 2 Yom Teruah (Trumpets) 2024, when the UN Pact for the Future was ratified, because it was more powerful, giving the UN even military rights over nations. Turns out that may have been the catalyst to the removal of peace on Earth, when Jesus Christ broke the second seal, and I think it was, but it was still not the Dan. 9:27 covenant. (explained below)
By that time I’d also begun studying Daniel 9:27, in the Old Greek, which makes it clear that ‘The Covenant’ in focus is the Mosaic Covenant. The Old Greek https://alephtav.blog/og-english/also gives the interpretive leeway to explain what’s really happening in the world right now. (Only the Old Greek has source manuscripts.) For me, it puts the series of astonishing world agreements, into perspective…. They’re all leading to the building the third temple of God.
3.17 Cry, Glory God Beyond
The Old Greek also makes clear that in God’s final week of years, The Mosaic Covenant must be practiced by the Jews for many weeks with sacrifices and libations, until it reaches its consummation; That means until the Old Covenant type payment of sin debt will be accomplished to God’s satisfaction.(But it will also be that 2/3 of the Jews must die.) Only then will God allow His temple services to be interrupted and desecrated by the Beast. In the Old Greek, that’s not said to occur at the geometrical halfway point of Daniel’s 70th week, as some Masoretic text to English translations indicate. It merely says ‘after many weeks’. That could be 3 months; It could be less.
So even though the UN SDG 2030 Agenda is not the ‘agreement with many’ that ‘the prince who is to come’ of Dan. 9 27 is expected to make, the SDG’s remain as relevant as ever because it is the foundation that the whole world is building on and because it seems to have started when Jesus Christ released the White Horseman. It’s even connected to amazing calendrical and cosmic patterns, which I won’t go into here, but the video below tells of some of them.
When I started this post, like most people I’d only read Masoretic based translations of Daniel 9:27. But Satan used Theodotion to do horrific damage to the Masoretic text.
Now I can see that the alignment between the ‘Prince who is to come’ and the ‘many’ (mainly religious Jews and others) is not said to be for 7 years; The only indication of ‘7’ years is that the passage makes it clear that it happens in God’s final week-of-years of this age (Spring of ’24 to Spring of ’31). That shows indirectly that the alignment couldn’t possibly hold up for more that 7 years since the Beast is thrown into the never-ending Lake of Fire before Christ’s Millennial Kingdom begins.
Because the SDG 2030 Agenda was a strengthening of a prior 7 year agreement for an additional 7 years, it garnered a good amount of attention among believers. That was appropriate because it was just the type of thing people should’ve expected, if they were going by the Masoretic text.
That’s the silver lining: Because of the Masoretic error, many believers woke up to the times we’re in! That’s really amazing! How I see it is that God almighty used evil for good by using the twisted Theodotian Masoretic Dan. 9:27 against Satan. It was powerful. It was The Midnight Cry!
3.19 Cry, Glory God Beyond
By now I’ve discovered even more reasons and great confirmations that this is the event that God used to serve as the Midnight Cry. Halleluyah! Halleluyah! Halleluyah! What’s also very befitting is that it was Daniel 9:24, precisely three verses prior, that the Sadducees and Pharisees ignored in the first century when they missed Jesus’ first coming! Same passage – so let’s not follow their example and miss it again. This is the wake up call that our Lord is coming soon! (The Old Greek text is available below.)
Not every significant event must happen after Daniel’s 70th week begins.
Certainly the reestablishment of Israel as a nation on May 14, 1948 AD took place before Daniel’s 70th week began! And so did prophesies about their language and currency returning; as well as the blooming of their desserts and life returning to the Dead Sea. And look up Johnathan Cahn to learn about how the dates of the 1948 and 1967 Wars were written into God’s covenant time.
3.20 Cry, Glory God Beyond
The was the UN SDG 2030 Agenda, occurring 6 months prior to the final week of this age as Jesus Christ broke the first seal of the scroll; The foundation for the return to Eden for the saints was being set, while at the same time, the first ‘domino’ in a series of domino agreements that are building in the wrong direction as the world strives to divide God’s land. But it’s also ‘snowballing’ toward the re-establishment of God’s temple; The little horn (future antichrist) wants God’s temple built because he himself desires to sit in it’s Holy of holies, declaring himself to be God. It will happen.
The Midnight Cry took place 6 months before Daniel’s 70th week began on 4/9/24.
I understand that the following will raise some hairs, but nowhere in the Bible is it written that Jesus won’t break the first seal of the scroll before Daniels 70th week begins! Why do many saints believe otherwise? Because they’re afraid to be on Earth after that.
3.21 Cry, Glory God Beyond
I’ve written extensively and have given strong arguments that the 24 elders in God’s throne room aren’t the body of Christ or His bride. Click on ‘throne room’ in the tag cloud at the bottom of any post to find most of the posts that cover it in just one scroll. Christ’s church/bride is represented by the lamp stands/torches that, in a 7 fold way, uphold God’s Holy Spirit, who is represented by the oil. The burning condition of that oil indicated that saints from all seven church types, while still on Earth, were not hiding their spiritual light under a bushel but were shining forth the light of truth. In unison, they were being the light of the world for Jesus Christ, just when the world needed it most. At the moment before Jesus took the scroll from our Holy Father and broke the first seal, all 7 lamp stands had reached full blaze. (That doesn’t necessarily mean His bride was fully mature, or ready to be harvested, just that they were earnestly trying and were not grieving the Holy Spirit; see post 1.)
The SDG 2030 Agenda plays a foundational role in the predominately environmental based excuse by ‘the powers that be’ to join forces to takeover the world:
The UN (1945), WHO (1948)and WEF (1971) , supported by Black Rock (1988) and Vanguard (1975) , which are all underpinned by Luciferian, Illuminati, Masonic Values. The takeover’s been in the planning, in America, since well before 1992, which is when the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) began. UNFCCC’s nickname has been COP-92, COP-93 . . . COP-30.
America’s part in this goes back to before Albert Pike . . .
. . .who was a despicable leader of Free Masonry, the ultimate tool of the Luciferians, which made its way over here from Europe. In England it was already tied into the royal family.
Who will fill the space under the all all seeing eye? Satan’s working on ‘seeing all’ through things like trans humanism, Neuralink and every type of digital surveillance.
The “Hidden Mysteries” of the Illuminati
It’s interesting to note that satan has not one original thought. Everything he does is a counterfeit of Christ. Even satan’s followers on earth, the ones led by the Illuminati who worship Lucifer – base their empire and hierarchy on the “Hidden Mysteries”. They deliberately deceive the lower levels in Freemasonry. In the infiltrated Christian churches, the pastors and their members are deceived, in the military, even many of the generals, are deceived as to the real truth behind all the wars, and certainly the rank and file military man and woman are deceived. In the area of education, the teachers are deceived and in the field of medicine, the doctors are deceived. The hierarchy of the Illuminati speaks in code so the general population doesn’t understand their goals – to rule the world and destroy the vast majority of the population of the world. The goal of the Illuminati and their “Hidden Mysteries” is total destruction, whereas God’s goal for the world is ultimately, universal restoration – through the revelation of God’s Mysteries to all mankind.

The truncated base of the top pyramid has a missing section where the Antichrist will bridge the gap. It seems that the Antichrist will be, among other things, the top Mason, higher than the Royal Grand Masters, from the Order of the Garter, who can only be of the monarchy. Then he’ll most likely be possessed by the spirit behind Apollo, who’s considered to be satan’s son. (Rev. 11)
The founding of the Grand Lodge of London and Westminsterin London at St. Paul’s Churchyard took place on June 24, 1717. It was the first Masonic Grand Lodge to be created and was referred to as Grand Lodge of England. King George IV was its first Royal Grand Master (1790-1813).
In 1813 it united with a competitor lodge, the Ancient Grand Lodge of England, to create the United Grand Lodge of England covering England, Wales and the Commonwealth Nations.
3.24 Cry, Glory God Beyond
King Edward VII (1874-1901) was its first Royal Grand Master. The oldest royal tracing goes back to 1601 King James IV who was a Fellowcraft Freemason in Perth Scotland but later became King of Ireland and England under the title King James I, but the nations were not unified. Yes, it’s the King James of the King James Bible.
America, the restrainer’s restrainer is delaying central bank digital currency; perhaps making America a great target for nuclear destruction.
Luciferians believe satan’s lie, that satan is the bearer of true spiritual light. But, satan lost that title when he fell from God’s grace because of his pride in the beauty that God gave him, and his desire to receive worship for himself from the angels.Ever since being thrown out of God’s heavenly court satan’s also been seeking out worship for himself from humans and trying to destroy everything God loves.For more on this, see:
In most pyramid images on the web, the top pyramid, TGAOTU, which means The Great Architect Of The Universe, is the capstone. (satan tries to steal credit)
3.25 Cry, Glory God Beyond
Under that, the upper row in the pyramid is usually shown as a gap, reserved for the Antichrist. The Luciferians have long been preparing the way for him to bridge the gap between humanity and satan’s total rule. The Antichrist will bridge the gap when he gets possessed by ‘Apollo‘.
The true Almighty triune God, the Holy Spirit and the Father in the name of His Son Jesus Christ will allow satan to rule through the Antichrist unopposed, for 42 months.
According to my calculations, the Beast’s free reign will most likely begin in early Oct. 2027. (see post 4.)
Jesus Christ is the true faithful and eternal light for humanity. Jesus Christ proved himself to be loyal to YHWH onto a horrible death. By doing so He earned himself the title of King of the Universe and has been building an holy eternal family and everlasting Godly Kingdom for His Holy Father, through His precious blood.see:
I mentioned all that because it has everything to do with the COPs:
The COPs are behind the SDG 2030 Agenda:
Take a look at the pyramid in the image below!
According to the Bible expositor ‘Craig Bong’ when he was interviewed on the Janie DuVall show, the following image was to be a model for a large design a centerpiece at the last COP (conference of the parties), which happened in Belem, Brazil, Nov. 2025. I can’t confirm that they ended up using it, but what it means is demonstrative.
Again, the capstone represents satan. He’s the false light bearer who calls himself Lucifer, a title he lost when he fell and became the great deceiver. See the gap person in the image? Is it a darkly possessed human, a hybrid or trans-human entity like Nimrod/Gilgamesh? The entity doesn’t look at all like Alok, the famous DJ, although I think that’s where they got the design idea, as he’s a very popular Brazilian performer. (Gilgamesh’s body was discovered in 2023 beneath the dried up Euphrates. With CRISPER, could he have been regrown and repossessed? For proof from Hilary Clinton see 13 minutes into this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1VmiqlTd_Q ) Is it an android AI? Is it a fallen angel posing as an extraterrestrial? Is it a precursor to the abomination of desolation?

It’s symbolic butthe base represents humanities efforts to reach heaven without God Almighty.
Genesis 11:4, Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves;
Who will be behind the intelligence that will have his throne placed symbolicallyor literally between the capstone that represents the all seeing eye and the base?
The true title ‘Lucifer’, which means: morning star, bight morning star or son of the morning, now rightfully belongs Jesus Christ who defeated satan’s power over death, by His sinless life and resurrection. (Rev. 22:16)
SDG 2030 Agenda Goals
As mentioned above, the 17 goals existed previously as the Paris Agreement, which were based upon the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) better known as ‘COP’ goals, which hadn’t yet reached their powerful tipping point; The technology needed to enforce it wasn’t quite ready, especially the artificial intelligence and the Starlink satellite network.
Now it’s significant that the Paris Agreement was renamed with the more worldly, inclusive, Babylon friendly SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS 2030 AGENDA while the technology, particularly artificially intelligence, was progressing toward the desired end-point, which is for the WHO, WEF and Roman Catholic Church to all congeal with it. I think the firming up process of these powers accelerate every time Jesus Christ releases another part of the restrainer, another seal of the scroll of the Deed to Earth. All we need now is a catalyst. I think the rapture will occur between the 4th and 5th seals.
The Pact for the Future was announced by trumpet blows on Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets October 2, 2024, giving the UN military power over nations! (See below.)
The Pact for the Future:
The ratification of The Pact for the Future came 6 months after Daniels 70th Week began.
For astonishing discoveries that were found basing the end-time prophetic calendar on Torah years, that start in Spring, brings . See:
The SDG 2030 Agenda was ‘strengthened’ by the Pact for the Future. Here’s an excerpt from the official Pact for the Future document (top of its Page 42):
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, with adverse impacts that are disproportionately felt by developing countries, especially those that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. We commit to accelerate meeting our obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention Climate Change and the Paris Agreement.
Why do they still sometimes call the SDG 2030 Agenda the Paris Agreement?
. . . the UN likes to call it The Paris Agreement, which was the name of the original 7 yr. agreement. It expired in Sept. of 2023, but was followed up by 7 more years of a stronger version of itself under the new name Sustained Development Goals 2030 Agenda.That‘s cumbersome to articulate. It’s just easier to say: The Paris Agreement; And that’s what they’re used to saying. The 17 SDG goals are identical, although they’ve been accelerated, and are now called sustained and transformative. (See below.)
3.30 Cry, Glory God Beyond
So after ‘Pact for the Future’ was ratified, the original ‘Paris Agreement’ had then become doubly confirmed, strengthened and accelerated! Hmmm! The Masoretic Daniel 9:27 says “and he (the prince that is to come) will confirm a covenant with many for 7 years …” Confirm means strengthen; But to be thorough, it can also mean prevail or enforce; In fact, it may even imply strong arming.Testament.
May God Almighty guide you in all truth in the name of Jesus Christ:
The Paris Agreement pt. 2 / SDG Agenda 2030
As mentioned above, at the September 18-19 2023 United Nations SDG 2030 Summit, documents were signed by 193 nations, including Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, to reaffirm/confirm an existing covenant for another seven years and that the Sustainable Development Goals Agenda 2030 has the identical 17 goals as the Paris Agreement.
The 17 goals have redundancies and could’ve been combined into:
1. Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions 2. Reduced Inequality 3. No Poverty 4. Climate Action 5. Industry and Economy. But, by dividing these into 17 categories, they were able to give their definition of ‘gender equality’ a relatively high priority. (depopulation goal)
See their slogan ‘Leave no one behind’? Are they mocking the rapture? Are they tempting people to trust in humanism and reject God?
The owl is the Masonic symbol representing ‘ruler of the night.’ In the Bible night represents ‘spiritual darkness’ which is predatory deception. Luciferian ideology, which is older than Nimrod, underlies the Masons and other doomed worldly powers who are rapidly joining forces for what they think is their final takeover of the world. But, satan lost his title Lucifer when He fell. So they’ve been falling for satan’s ultimate deception; And they’ve been coming boldly out of the closet. This indicates that God has already begun releasing some of His restraint, allowing the beast system to proceed.
3.37 Cry, Glory God Beyond
2 Corinthians 11:14 “And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.”
God’s Rainbow Are they thumbing their noses at God’s judgment on the world that they’ve participated in bringing about by this very agreement? For more about pride–rainbow symbolism, see:
Jesus Christ is the only one who can save Earth, but the deadline the scientists have come up with is interesting. What you’re seeing is the NYC Climate Clock at Manhattan’s Union Square. It began its count down on September 17, 2020, based on science, with seven years and 103 days till thepoint of no return.
The Day of the Lord & The End of this Age
The Day of the Lord usually refers to God’s judgment and wrath. The term has occasionally been used for lesser episodes of God’s wrath that have already been expressed on His rebellious people Israel. But there’s a final Day of the Lord coming called The Time of Jacob’s Trouble. Remember that Jacob was renamed Israel so it’ll be primarily about Israel; But, the Day of the Lord will also bring God’s terrible judgment upon the whole Earth. It’s followed by a Thousand Year Long Sabbath Rest for God and His people, the Millennial Kingdom of Christ Jesus!
God’s 6,000 Year Allotment for Mankind’s Rebellion:
Of the 6,000 years allotted to mankind, the second 2,000 year period, from Abraham to Jesus Christ’s Crucifixion might seem to match human calculations in only a general way, but God has a reason for that – He cuts out specific periods of time when people are completely out of faith or covenant with Him.
(As far as the Adam to Abraham time duration, I don’t think we can confirm everyone who was at that time in a faith relationship with God and for how long; I only know of Abel, perhaps Seth, Enoch, Noah, Job, and no-one knows how long Job lived.)
The links below, regarding God’s 490 year pattern, help explain it, The Book of Enoch link gives the broadest insight of those, but even more information has been revealed in these end times:
Here are three study links
The Enochian Chronology: Seven Epochs of 490 Years:
The writer of The Book of Enoch must’ve gotten his knowledge of the 7, 490 yr. Great Jubilee Cycles from Daniel chap. 9, before Theodotion got his hands on it. explained below
Oxford Bible Church-Appendix 6_Israel’s 490 yr cycles:
If you’ve looked at the third link above, about Covenant Time, I’m letting it be known that there’s also a way to measure the entire Covenant Time between God Almighty and His Old Covenant people, starting from Moses, without breaking any 490 yr. cycles until the Crucifixion of His beloved Son Jesus Christ. Then God broke it for the 40 years until the temple was destroyed. God Almighty re-initiated it when the church became mature. (Perhaps there are two accounting systems going on, suggested by C.J. Lovik.)
There are actually 7 x 490 yr. cycles or 7 Great Jubilee Cycles from Moses/Exodus to Jesus Christ’s Second Coming with the consummation of God’s plan, which is revealed in the Old Greek version of the Book of Daniel. (Explained below.)
The hour’s getting late, so in a nutshell, it’s 3,430 years:
Most Biblical scholars seem to say 1440 BC is the year of the Exodus.
Israelite Kings Date Chart Based on the chronology of John Bright:
(1 Kings 6:1) In the four hundred eightieth year after the Israelites came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the LORD. “This verse gives a time period of 480 years between the exodus and the beginning of Solomon’s work on the Jerusalem temple. From John Bright’s chronology, Solomon ascended the throne around 961 BC, which would make the fourth year of his reign and the beginning of temple construction about 959-957 BC (see Israelite Kings Date Chart). If we assume that the number 480 is to be taken as a precise number of years, much as we would count years on a calendar today, working backward from this date we arrive at a date ~1440 BC for the exodus.“
That’s exact if we include 1440 BC (BCTorah) as year one when we count. In this post, we calculate the end date of the entire prophesy starting with that year, and compare it to many other witnesses. It’s interesting that masonry for the temple was already cut in David’s reign. (1 Chronicles 22-26)
Watch what happens when I use the 1440 BC (BCTorah) starting date!
4.2 Count, Glory to God
On authority of the only source documents for Daniel 9:27, the Old Greek Codex Chisianus 45 and Papyrus 975, preserved in very few Septuagint versions, we are essentially told to multiply 490 yrs. by 7. . . It comes to 3,430 yrs! To that, we must add the 40 years that God cut out so that we may see what date it comes to on our human calendars.
God deemed His Covenant timeline ‘broken’ for the 40 years from the crucifixion of His Son to His destruction of the second temple.
The sum is 3,470 years. Add 3,470 years to 1440 BC (don’t forget to account for the missing BC/AD zero) and you’ll get 2031 AD.(But we must also convert back to Torah years that start in the Spring. I call those Toragorian years and I’ve started using ADT and BCT to distinguish them. So we end up on the very last day of 2030 ADT)! God re-established His Covenant Time, after He broke it, by instituting the final four 490 year cycles. This re-establishment coincides with the beginning of the ‘mature church age,’as compared with its ‘Pauline’ establishment period, which ended sometime between 64 and 68 BC.
As you read this post you’ll see that 2030/2031 ADT dovetails with all the other end time prophesies that are discussed. And, further below, you can read the written 7 x 490 year prophesy from the Old Greek.
Jesus Christ revealed His seven fold modeling of the ‘established church’ when, in ~95 AD, He appeared in an awesome vision to St. John on the island of Patmos (Rev. 2-3). God Almighty had restarted His 490 yr. cycles 25 years earlier, immediately after destroying the second temple. His New Covenant Church had become mature enough to ‘pick up the baton’ by then, taking the place of His temple in Jerusalem; I mean the church as not just as diverse individuals with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, but as organized communities, strengthened by individual members who edify each other, while still acknowledging that the Israelites/sons of Jacob are its roots.
Whether talking about the:
Daniel 9:24, 70-WEEKS-PROPHESY (490 yrs.)
or the
Daniel 9:27, 7-x-70-WEEKS-PROPHESY (3,430 yrs.)
. . . we’re dealing with organized ‘weeks of years’ ending with sabbatical or sabbath years.
A sabbath year is the final year of a structured week-of-years called a ShmitaCycle.
An organized seven units of time, whether it be of days or years, is called a ‘shabua’.
4.3 Count, Glory to God
Why are these year-long appointed times prescribed by God Almighty every 7th year? They’re designed for land rest and total forgiveness of all dept, to prevent any of God’s covenant people from gaining undue wealth and power with which to oppress their brethren in God’s land.
God Almighty Measures His Covenant Time with Great Jubilee Cycles.
As addressed in the links above, our Holy Almighty Father God has left out of His time reckoning, certain episodes when people were ‘out of faith’ with Him. But with the Mosaic Covenant, He established rules for dealing with rebellion, using judgment/probation periods. The 490 year Great Jubilee Cycles have become disciplinary judgment/probation periods in which God, in his long suffering, also extends mercy to His Covenant people – another chance for them to get it right. The famous 70 Weeks (490 yrs.) of Daniel 9:24, is an example of one Great Jubilee Cycle. In fact, since the sons of Jacob have been sinning, nearly continuously, since before the crossing at the Red Sea, all 7Great Jubilee Cycles are disciplinary judgment/probation periods. This is related to what He meant when Jesus said we should forgive 70 times 7 times.
“Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesusanswered, “Jesus says to him, “I say to you not up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.”
Matt. 18:21-22
4.4 Count, Glory to God
Note: That’s 490 forgivenesses. God counts His forgivenesses by years grouped into 7’s. A Shmita cycle is 7 structured years ending in a Sabbatical/Sabbath Year. Seven of those make a 49 year Jubilee Cycle, and ten of those intervals make a 490 year Great Jubilee Cycle. Depending on how one looks at this, it seems that that God actually forgives 7 times more than the number of times He told Peter to forgive, but that’s if you count it in individual years, not weeks of years! There are 7Great Jubilee Cycles in God’s redemption plan. Hallelujah!
Even the 70 years of the Babylonian exile were based on the 490 years of neglect of the Torah prescribed land Sabbaths, 70 of them that Judah committed.
The 40 years between the Crucifixion of His most precious Son and the AD 70 destruction of the second temple, has been cut out by God from His Covenant Time.
The Final 4 Great Jubilee Cycles
I’ve attempted to make these things easy to understand in the rest of this post. But I won’t oversimplify it. I’m not the only one who’s observed that there are an additional 4 Great Jubilee Cycles, that begin their countdown from the year after God destroyed the second temple in Jerusalem. I first saw it mentioned by C. J. Lovik, in a few of his videos, but I derived it in a completely different way!
Update: I recently discovered Ryan from ‘Counting for Caleb’ who derived some very similar overall timeline elements to those presented in this post and this blog, such as the significance of The Midnight Cry Event! (See post 3.) Like me, Ryan also uses the 7 x 70 weeks-of-years method, but he deems the 40 years that God delayed the Israelites in the dessert, before allowing them to enter the promised land, as the part God ‘cut out’ of His covenant time; His method makes it more challenging to recognize that the final four Great Jubilee Cycles have been re-instituted by God specifically because of His New Covenant in the blood of Jesus Christ! (See post 12.Last Hour Links for links to both Ryan, Lovik and also Nelson Walters who recently embraced God’s 7 x 490 yrs. plan.)
4.5 Count, Glory to God
The final Shmita Cycle of the last of the 7 Great Jubilee Cycles overlaps the final Shmita Cycle of Daniel’s-70th-week! In addition, there are four other great Biblical prophesies that reach their conclusions within that same one year period, all of them dovetailing with Daniels-70th-week! (see mark 4.25 below)
So you might rightly get up in arms and say ‘God doesn’t do anything without first revealing it to His prophets!’
Well, as introduced above (mark 4.2) a period of 7Great Jubilee Cycles was revealed by God to Daniel; That’s Dan.9:27. It’s recorded in the oldest Old Greek manuscripts. I think the Lexham English Translation of the Septuagint 1st edition may have the best of the 3 translation into English that I have. I’ve also acquired the Old Greek itself and meticulously confirmed it by making three translations via Strongs and other lexicons as explained later in this post and elsewhere in AlephTav.blog. My own final translation I is down below, with explanations.
God answered Daniel’s long prayer according to Daniel’s repentance of his peoples sins.
In Daniel’s 21 day long prayer with fasting and no anointing (Dan. 9:3-19 & 10:13) he repented of the sins of his people all the way back to the time of Moses. God YHWH matched that in His answer; God pointed out the 7 Great Jubilee Cycles of 490 yrs. each, that cover the span of time from Moses/Exodus to the Messiah’s Second Coming at Armageddon. The Old Greek version of Dan. 9:27, the correct version, is longer and contains the lost prophesy that was removed by Theodotian, and subsequently the Masorites which our Bibles are based on. (It has a big history, saving it for later) So, to say it again: The prophesy is: 7 x 70 x 7, which can also be shown as 7 x 490. It’s 3,430 years either way! Remember that the Dan. 9:27, 7 x 70 Weeks-prophesy does not replace the Dan. 9:24, 70-Weeks-Prophesy. It’s worth repeating that, quite remarkably, the two prophesies dovetail in the final shmita cycle and may even end on the very same Sabbath Year.
4.6 Count, Glory to God
2,000 Years from the Crucifixion to the Final Restoration of 1/3 of the Jews to God.
The final 4 Great Jubilee Cycles are a modified version of God’sjudgment/probation cycles. Throughout those final four cycles, individual Jews have the opportunity to be redeemed through faith in Jesus Christ via the New Covenant. Ultimately, 1/3 of Jews will be redeemed by accepting the New Covenant in Jesus Christ, but nothing resembling national repentance will occur until they see the death, resurrection and rapture of the Two Witnesses, followed by the death of 7,000 people by an earthquake that will destroy 1/10th of Jerusalem. That’s neat the time of the setting up of the final abomination of desolation. Those new believers, will flee to the wilderness; They represent national Israel but, they’ll be refined like gold while they’re being protected and won’t be harvested until the very end of the final week of years as the owner’s portion of Jesus’ fruit or ‘good grape harvest’.
The CRUX
Looking at the years right after the crucifixion: The Jews seem to have been given an extra 40 years to repent, before God destroyed the temple. But, that was no ordinary judgment/probation period; God had already broken His conventional way of accounting time, as they’d just tortured and killed His beloved and only begotten Son. There was a New Covenant in the blood of His innocent Son, while the very people who God held responsible for having Him crucified were simultaneously overseeing and performing blood and animal sacrifices in the temple, believing it would bring them forgiveness of their sins.
During those 40 years, the Jews continued to be exposed to Jesus’ Jewish disciples in the promised land. God allowed them that opportunity and although many repented, such as the 3,000 at Pentecost, sadly the Jews failed to make national repentance.
< God’s heart

God’s judgment came in the form of the destruction of His temple in Jerusalem in AD 70, fulling Jesus’ prophesy in Luke 19:43 and especially the Ezekiel 4:6 40-Year-Siege-Prophesy.The Jews (and all Sons of Jacob) had been warned, four times, in Leviticus 26: 18, 21, 24, 28 that a 7 fold greater judgment would be multiplied upon them each time they fail to repent. 7 x 40 = 280 yrs. AD 70 plus 280 years lands on AD 350, which was another failed chance for the Jews to repent. . .
350 AD was the year Talmud writers greatly increased their slander against God’s Son.
. . . Therefore their punishment was multiplied by 7 again: 7 x 280 = 1960 yrs, (Including the 280 years of time served.) Add those 1,960 yrs plus the original 40 years to get the prophetic 2,000 years! That’s the 2,000 yrs from the Crucifixion before the final restoration of the remnant of the Jews to God, the 1/3rd.

2023 END-TIMES PROPHECY (70th Week of Daniel Revealed)
In the whole land, declares the LORD, “two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet one-third will be left in it. This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’ ”
Zechariah 13: 8-9
There’s a useful homemade block chart below, starting at mark 4.19. It simplifies things a lot! But, first I want to explain how I’ve used prophetic numbers. There’s really no shortcut to explaining the 2,000 yrs. But, I think I’ve achieved it. It’s not confusing.
More about the final two thousand years:
Come, let us return to the LORD; for it is He who has torn, and He will heal us; He has struck down, and he will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live before Him. . . . What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? . . . In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; Ephraim’s whoredom is there; Israel is defiled. For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed.
Hosea 6: 1,2,4,10,11
4.8 Count, Glory to God
2 Peter 3:8, “But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.”
This prophesy is for Ephraim and Judah. Although God certainly turned his face from Ephraim first and allowed them to be exiled for more than 2,700 yrs, God hadn’t completely withdrawn Himself from ‘them’ until He ‘completely’ withdrew from ‘them both’. In the Book of Hosea, God reveals His strong love and wrath: (It’s a must read book for us to understand the heart of God our Father! God seemed to be wavering between love and hate for Ephraim (Israel). How important is Ephraim to God? They were the Northern Kingdom (called Israel), 10 out of the 12 tribes of the Son’s of Jacob/Israel, very important!
Hosea 5: 5-6
Israel’s arrogance testifies against them; the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble in their sin; Judah also stumbles with them. When they go with their flocks and herds to seek the Lord, they will not find him; He has withdrawn himself from them.
Although the story line of the Book of Hosea is mostly told through God’s relationship with the Northern Kingdom (the House of Israel), dramatized by God having Hosea marry a prostitute; Hosea’s prophesy is ultimately about the Millennial Kingdom, when He will forgive and restore them. Who’s ‘them’ in Hosea 5:6? It’s both the House-of-Israel, which is Ephraim along with the House-of-Judah. At the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom, God will join them back together into one stick. (see Ezekiel 37:15 below)
4.9 Count, Glory to God
John 8:21
Once more Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come.”
Matthew 23:37-39
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.”
4.10 Count, Glory to God
So, instead of counting forward 2,000 yrs (2 days) from, 722 BC when Assyria took Ephraim (the House of Israel) and most of them were scattered, among the nations, (although many took refuge in Judah) let’s count backwards from the start of the Millennial Kingdom, which we’ve calculated above. That’s how we find out when God withdrew Himself from THEM: Ephraim and Judah.
March 24, 2031 AD is exactly 3,470 yrs, to the day, after God gave Moses the calendar in 1440 BC.
Counting 2,000 yrs backward from March 24, 2031 AD brings us to the Spring of 31 AD.
So what event could’ve triggered the full definitive 2,000 yr. withdrawal of God from both Judah and Ephraim? Hmm. Hmmm?
4.11 Count, Glory to God
As will be explained below, a 31 ADT crucifixion would’ve happened on a Wednesday.
The 2 day (2,000 yr.) Hosea 6 prophesy refers to the time duration from the year of the Lord’s Ascension to heaven to the completion of His second coming when the last remaining Judeans will say “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” Keep in mind that the Hosea 6:2 prophesy says, “After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up.”
4.12 Count Glory to God
The gathering of the main harvest of the Jews will occur 1,260 days after the final abomination of desolation is first seen by them, as it’s set up is just beginning on the wing of the 3rd temple. The ones who flee from it are the main harvest of the good grapes, who will be lifted up 30 days before Jesus Christ destroys the A.O.D.. There will be a remainder, called the gleanings of the good grape harvest, Jewish martyrs who’ll be harvested during that 30 day period.
Finally, there’s a group of ‘elect’ Jews who’ll miss all the harvests and the marriage supper of the Lamb, yet call on their true Messiah’s name at the very last micro-second before they’re destroyed by the Beast in the Battle at Armageddon. Jesus will wait, behind the veil, for them to call on His holy name before He reveals Himself. Then He’ll defeat the armies of the world by His Full Glory and by the sword that will come out of His mouth – the WORD of TRUTH; His standard; Upholding His standard are all His risen saints who will be at his side, and behind Him; And myriads upon myriads of holy angels will fill the heavens farther than the human eye can see!
After all the armies of Earth dwellers are defeated, then Jesus Christ will destroy the ultimate abomination of desolation.
Those last microsecond Jews are still considered to be God’s elect. They’ll be allowed to enter the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ with mortal bodies and greatly extended lifespans, and they will reproduce, a lot!
And of course, lets not forget the lost Northern tribes called ‘Ephraim’. They’ll also be brought into the Millennium with mortal bodies. They’ll be made ‘one stick’ with those final elect Jews. Daniel 12 says blessed are those who wait until the 1,335 days. So, it appears that this will happens in the 45 days after the A.O.D. is destroyed, which will be after the conclusion of the Daniel 70th week proper. This also fits perfectly with the words ‘after two days’ in the Hosea 6:2 prophesy.
Recapping – In Hosea 5, when it says “He has withdrawn Himself from them (both of them),” that only happened with the ascension of Jesus Christ. When He returns He’ll restore them to be one stick. (Ezekiel 37:15 below)
Jerusalem ties North and South together.
It was only due to the cruelty of King Rehoboam, King David’s grandson, that the 10 northern tribes of Jacob/Israel seceded to become the Northern Kingdom and began calling themselves The House of Israel. God cares about them intensely and hasn’t deemed them to be forever separate from the Southern Kingdom, The House of Judah.

Joining them back together into to one stick
Ezekiel 36:24, “Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of My Holy Name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone.“
Ezekiel 37:15-23, The word of the Lord came to me:“Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, ‘Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, ‘Belonging to Joseph (that is, to Ephraim) and all the Israelites associated with him.’ Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand. When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you tell us what you mean by this?’ say to them, This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim’s hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah’s stick. I will make them into a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.” Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on and say to them, This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms. They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God. ‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. . . I want you to know that I am not doing this for your sake, declares the Sovereign Lord. Be ashamed and disgraced for your conduct, people of Israel!'”

The reason I keep driving this point home is that the timing of the prophesies all come together only if Judah is properly acknowledged as having been included in the Hosea 5 and 6 prophesies!
Conclusion about the 2000 Years
Prophesies that God gave to the Northern Kingdom/House-of-Israel include Judah, becauseonly in the Southern Kingdom, the House-of-Judah, has God put His Holy Name. God’s Holy Name is forever established in His City Jerusalem. His temple was there. That’s where He used to appear every year to the High Priest on the Day of Atonement to forgive the sins of all His covenant people. His temple was where all 12 tribes were supposed to worship, and the only place where His Torah Law can be properly observed. It’s where His beloved King David once ruled all the sons of Jacob/Israel as one Kingdom under God. And it’s the place from where His beloved Son Jesus Christ will rule Earth for the 1,000 years, until God Almighty makes the new universe.
So, God will fulfill the Abrahamic promises for the 12 tribes in addition to all gentiles who join Israel through true faith in the Jewish Messiah Jesus Christ.

Getting ready to view the homemade block chart:
Overview
Let’s start by having Daniel 9:27 in front of us, both the Masoretic and one of the translations from Old Greek. (For the Book of Daniel, modern Bibles use the Masoretic text. Beware, most Septuagints use the Old Greek in every book except for Daniel, so be very careful if you buy one.) Although I generally use the Masoretic, the Book of Daniel is a special case. Jesus referred to it regarding the final abomination of desolation (A.O.D).
Daniel 9:27Masoretic NIV “He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.”
Daniel 9:27 O.G. Lexham Eng. Septuagint1st ed “And the covenant will be made strong for many, and it will recover again, and it will be built up in breadth and length. And at the end of the appointed times, and after seven periods of seventy appointed times, [*and sixty-two years] during the set time of the consummation of war, then the desolation will be taken away when the covenant prevails for many weeks. And at the completion of the period of seven, offering and drink-offering will be taken away and upon the holy place there will be an abomination of desolation until the end. And a determined final destruction will be rendered upon the one making desolate.” * (I found Greek lexicons that taught that the word used for ‘years’ here also means clansmen/temple guards, because it comes from an Old Greek expression about boys coming of age; When they’re old enough to do a special job they were called ‘years’.) King David assigned exactly 62 temple guards. 1 Chronicles 23)
The following is the best of the translations I made directly from the very difficult to find Old Greek Daniel 9:27. Every translation has issues, but looking at many of them helps a person see through it all. Translators from the seminary schools and related establishments are under great pressure to conform to prior mistakes made by their institutions, even obvious ones. Some of them, who’ve left the fold, have come out and publicly admitted the problem. You can check it yourself by using many lexicons. Don’t be fooled, some seminaries say you must buy their $600 lexicons, but they’ve folded their agenda into those.
Daniel 9:27
Many will align with a ruler/prince who will bring back to life The Covenant (Mosaic), rebuilt with length and width according to end time standards, after 7 x 70 appointed times (Sabbath years), also with 62 ‘years’ (males having ‘come of age’ specifically temple guards), until at the right moment for the consummation of joint (sin) debt payment, war will be against it, attempting to desertify it. After many weeks, The Covenant will be greatly prevailed upon.But, by the time the ‘weeks’ will be taken away, sacrifice, libation and the great sacred thing, (the ark of the covenant) it (the Mosaic Covenant) will have reached its perfect/fulfillment. An abomination making desolate will exist until a joint (sin) debt payment is given – great desertification

A collection of Dan. 9:24-27 in various Septuagints
The below image of Dan. 9:27 is from Lexham’s English Septuagint 1st Ed.
Apparently, First Century Christians Hated the Book of Daniel!
As a result, it was allowed to be heavily redacted by someone named Theodotion, into a version they found so much more palatable, that they accepted it, even without source documents! It’s been theorized, and it makes great sense, that what they hated most was the time duration of 3,430 yrs. It says “after seven periods of seventy ‘appointed times.” They wanted Jesus Christ our glorious beloved Savior to return right away!
The ‘appointed times’, in this case, are Sabbath years, marking 7 yr. periods.
I hope I’m clarifying the importance to God, of sevens, on all time scales. Sevens are the foundation of God’s entire Covenant Time!
4.17 Count, Glory to God
Sevens are the key to unlocking God’s timeline!
Almighty God seems to use
Fractal Time!
The end of every Torah week-of-days is an appointed time – a Sabbath Day. The end of every Torah week-of-years is an appointed time – a Sabbath Year. The end of God’s week-of-millennia is an appointed time – a Sabbath Millennium, in which Jesus Christ will rule as King of kings of all Nations, and we will all will know Him face to face!
There’s no longer any reason for Christians to be upset about God’s timing!
God’s 7 periods of 70 appointed times expire on the last day of 2030 ADT, which is March 24, 2031 AD,
assuming no Torah leap year effecting the length of 2029 ADT.
Exactly 7 yrs. prior to that, was the day of the completion of the triple Great American Eclipses, Jesus Christ’s AlephTav Messianic sign!
And the very next day was Nisan 1, 2024 ADT the very first day of what’s usually called Daniel’s 70th week, but because of the ‘hidden 9:27 prophesy,’ it is also Daniels’s 490th week!
That’s 7 x 70 x 7, 49 x 70 or 3,430 yrs. from the day God gave His calendar to Moses.
If anyone thought of seventy sevens as being a long time, think about seven times seventy sevens: That’s 7 Great Jubilee Cycles of 490 years each or 3,430 years! Appointed times are the set apart times for the ‘dress rehearsals’ that God Almighty prescribed in Torah plus all Sabbaths. But, when looking at the overall timeline of God’s covenant relationship with the Sons of Israel starting from the Exodus, only Sabbath ‘Years’ are comprehensible.

Timing’s clear. A warning to Christians, those who are asleep!
Repent, bear fruit, abide in Him, His Word, and show Him your faith!
Below is a simple visual overview based on the Daniel 9:24 70 Weeks Prophesy,
That’s from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem – to just before the gap:
70 weeks-of years (70 x 7 yrs) is a 490-year Great Jubilee Cycle. Each set of 49-50 blocks represents one Jubilee Cycle. The first 9 sets are shown here. There are 10 altogether. (The 10th, is shown in the next image, including the ‘church age’ gap from the Daniel 9:24 prophesy.) https://ref.ly/Da9.24
The first block of the first Jubilee Cycle is the year, 457 BC. That’s the year I’m using for the decree of the Persian King Artaxerxes 1st to rebuild God’s Temple. That kicks off the Daniel 9:24, 70-weeks-prophesy.Sabbath years are shown in metallic brown.
Notice the overlapping Jubilee Years (in orange) that conjoin adjacent Jubilee Cycles. Those are called the ’50th year’ of each cycle. They’re not chronological; As you can see they overlap. That’s because in God’s Torah Law, all years start in the Spring, except for ‘Jubilee Years,’ which begin in Fall on Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement).

The Details
Completed view with some details showing. (For a complete list of date estimates for the final week of years, see the bottom of this post.)
The Holy Spirit made so much fall together for me with this chart, first with the Dan. 9:24, 70 weeks prophesy, but also later with the 7 x 70 x 7 prophesy, which after being converted to our calendars, dovetailed with it, in the final week of years.
40 years after Jesus Christ’s Crucifixion, in 70 AD, God used Roman legions under Titus to destroy the 2nd temple in Jerusalem. The Ezekiel 4:6 Forty-Year-Siege-Prophesy, the one where Ezekiel lay on his right side, predicted it in the sixth century BC. (more about it below)
Notice that after the destruction of God’s Temple, God’s 490 year Great Jubilee Cycles were reinstituted.
The Gap inDaniels 70 Weeks Prophesy
The huge ‘gap,’ which many people call the ‘church age’ began after the 69th week and ends before the final week-of-years according to the prophesy. In my estimation, the gap began on AD 28, the year following Jesus Christ’s baptism in 27 AD. (Why 27 AD? See mark 4.34.)
For the years of Jesus’ ministry, there was glory on the premises of the Temple of God, through His anointed presence – shown in red on the chart. The special concept of the presence of the Messiah ‘bringing back the glory to the premises’ is only mentioned in English, in some translations from the Old Greek Daniel 9.
Since exactly when Jesus will take His bride is unknown, humbly marking out the earliest possibilities prevents watchers from being caught unaware. We were looking at 2025 ADT, but now we’re looking at the first half of 2026 AD which still fits. I think the removal of the bride, God’s spiritual temple, will trigger the masonry temple to be rebuilt. The leeway for the timing of the rebuilding of the temple is given in the Last Week Date Estimates Table, below at mark 4.32.
4 Critical Prophesies Point to the Same Final Year!
Jesus said “Learn the Parable of the Fig Tree.” The Fig Tree Generation began with the reestablishment of National Israel. It doesn’t have to be exact, but a generation was sometimes considered to be 70 yrs., but 80 yrs. by a person’s own strength. Jesus said ‘this generation’ (the Fig Tree Generation that He was teaching about) won’t pass away until all the things mentioned in the Olivet Discourse will have happened: The last sign of the Olivet Discourse is to see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.’ That will happen 1,260 days (~3.4 yrs) after the A.O.D. set up begins. The 1948 generation of Jews will turn 80 on May 14, 2028. That means they’ll see the A.O.D.; But Jesus said they’d see ‘all these things’ Will they live long enough? The average lifespan in Israel right now is approaching 83.8 y/o. Yes that exactly covers it
The Hosea 6, Two Days Prophesy:“After two days(2000 yrs.) he will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live before him.” From the beginning of the year 31 AD/ADT to the beginning of 2031 ADT is 2,000 years. So, soon after that “He will revive them.” Yes that works perfectly.
The Ezekiel 4:5 Siege Prophesy: God allotted 390 yrs. of punishment to, the Northern Kingdom, the House-of-Israel for their ~200 yrs. of whoredom. During the Babylonian captivity of the Jews, God commanded the prophet Ezekiel to warn them of the consequences of sin. God made him perform ‘street theater’ for 390 days, one day for each year that the Northern Kingdom was assigned punishment. Ezekiel was was instructed to lay on his left side every day on a street traversedby many Jews, to remind them of the siege on Jerusalem by Assyriathat had been attempted in 701 BC. Ezekielbuilt a small model of Jerusalem in front of where he layand held up an ‘iron pan’ between himself and the model to remind them that God Almighty had completely protected Jerusalem from that siege. That siege had only occurred because of the idolatry of the House of Israel. Even though God protected Jerusalem from that siege, The House of Israel’s real punishment is counted from the 701 BC siege. (That’s despite the fact that they’d already been forced into exile by Assyria 20 years prior.) So counting from 701 BC, they hadn’t repented by the time their 390 yr. punishment completed so God multiplied their punishment by seven: 7 x 390 yrs = 2,730. There’s no Gregorian year ‘0’, so for the 701 BC part of the following calculation, we use 700 yrs. The math is simple: 2,730 yrs. – 700yrs. = 2030AD. Then we convert to Torah year structure, which begins in Spring; It’s not a ‘to the day’ prophesy, so it could conclude on any day in that year. What happens if it were to end on the last day of that year? That would land on the same day we calculated for end of the Dan. 9:27 prophesy! And the very next day will be Nisan 1, 2031 ADT! On the Gregorian calendar, that’s March 25, 2031 AD, which is the day after the protected Jews will be harvested, according to the calculations!See Final Week Date Estimates Table below; It works! Halleluyah!
The Ezekiel 4:6 40 yr. Siege Prophesy of the destruction of the second temple of God and much of Jerusalem in AD 70, 40 yrs. after the Crucifixion. This time, Ezekiel performed ‘street theater’ while laying on his right side, and he did not hold up an ‘iron pan’ meaning no protection this time for Jerusalem by YHWH God. At the very same time Ezekiel’s contemporary Daniel was prophesying of the decree to build that very temple! See the calculations above at: mark 4.5-4.7.
4.26 Count, Glory to God
A crucial detail about the Ezekiel 390 Year Siege Prophesy:
For I assign to you a number of days, three hundred ninety days, equal to the number of the years of their punishment; and so you shall bear the punishment of the house of Israel. (Ezekiel 4:5)
עֲוֺנָ֔ם (‘ă·wō·nām) Noun – common singular construct | third person masculine plural Strong’s 5771: Iniquity, guilt, punishment for iniquity
The point of showing the Greek word is that most translations use ‘sin’, but it must be ‘punishment for iniquity.’ The House of Israel couldn’t have committed its sin/whoredom for 390 years since they only existed as a sovereign nation for ~200 years, from 922 to 722 BC. The punishment was basically a double dose. See Isaiah 40:2 & 51:17, Jeremiah 16:18 and Rev. 18:6 for more on double doses.

About the Final Jubilee Year
This is speculative, but God has always called His Jubilee Years the 50th year of each Jubilee Cycle. That’s despite the fact that it only overlaps and doesn’t add to overall time duration as humans see time. As I wondered why, I couldn’t help but consider, as I spent years trying to see how all the blocks might fit into all the prophesies, patterns and signs, that the final Jubilee might ultimately get shifted or set apart by God, in the very end, so that it’d no longer overlap.
That would turn the Final Jubilee into a Gateway Year!
Since the entire final 1,000 years is one Great Sabbath – God’s Sabbath, it was actually seeming like a reasonable idea, that the final Jubilee Year may become a gateway year intothe Millennial Kingdom, a time of celebrating justice and the re-allotting of land inheritances to the 12 tribes, while integrating ‘formerly gentile’ believers among them, establishing them/us all in the holy land, perhaps even while the 4th temple is being built. It still makes sense, and there’s even a way in which it could happen physically, but there’s no actual need for such a bridge for the sake of leeway to reconcile the prophetic timeline, because everything seems to be coming together perfectly without it.
Shifting Cosmos could cause the final Jubilee Year to shift!
Some Bible expositors expect a shift in seasons caused by the gargantuan cosmic events of the, trumpet and bowl judgments. The greatest worldwide earthquake ever, will occur at the 7th bowl, so perhaps God intends to shift Earth’s axis, orbit or both in such a way that Yom Kipper, which is when the Jubilee Years normally starts, gets delayed until Spring. That’d effectively turn the Final Jubilee Year into a chronological 50th year.

God’s Years – approaching the conclusion of this post
People rarely use God’s Torah prescribed years for their end times prophetic calendars. I found that alarming so I decided to do so and was surprised to see it all come together, ending on the last day of 2030 ADT (March 24, 2031 AD). After that will come the extra days of Daniel 12, that carry over into beginning of 2031 ADT! It works! All weighty Glory to God Almighty !
Where are the Two Witnesses?
I expect that ‘the two olive trees and the two lamp stands’ are already witnessing on Earth . . . Even many watchers, think this is a radical idea! So let’s start by examining the Revelation verses very closely.
St. John wrote in the spirit.
Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers there. But exclude the courtyard outside the temple. Do not measure it, because it’s been given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months.Rev. 11: 1-2
4.29 Count, Glory to God
“And I will grant to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy a thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.“
Rev. 11:3
Here’s the crux: The Rev. 11:3 word translated as ‘and’ probably does not indicate sequence. In fact, it should have been left out of the English. The Greek word translated ‘and’ is ‘kai.’ Kai is defined as: and, and also, also, but, even, indeed; But, in the Old Greek passages I’ve studied, periods and commas were non existent. Instead the word kai strings almost every thought together!
So, just because the two witnesses were written about in the verse following the verse about the 42 months of gentile trampling, connected by ‘kai,’ which is most likely just serving as a period, doesn’t mean that the two witnesses must start their ministry after the gentiles begin their trampling or even after the temple is built. The trampling is the thing that must begin after there’s a temple built, with both an inner and outer court.
I think God showed St. John the temple ‘first’ in order to provide the setting. It was a time traveling vision, and as such St. John needed to be oriented upon his arrival, so he’d know the future generation he was witnessing. If St. John had arrived at a future place and time, and merely just heard the voice of God saying “I will grant my two witnesses,” that would’ve been utterly disorienting! In fact St. John never actually saw the two witnesses, they were just described to him.
An explanatory example: Let’s say you tell your friend about a dream you had, one that you believe will actually come true. And the way in which you interact with the story as you relate it to your friend, makes it very clear that you believe it’s going to happen in the future. First you describe your future home, yourself putting finishing touches on it. Then someone there, in the dream, informs you that there’s a group of lawless neighbors who won’t be dealt with until after a period of time. So then, from your now perspective, you look at your friend and say, “I will provide my children with martial arts training.”
The question is . . .When you said “I will provide my children with martial arts training.” Is there any reason why your friend should assume from the context, that you absolutely won’t begin giving your children those advantages before moving to that house? It’s the same way when God said ‘I will grant my two witnesses.”
The Two Witnesses may be halfway through their ministry by the time the 3rd temple is built:
People say “We would’ve seen them by now.” and that who they are will be immediately obvious due to their Holy Spirit powers; But the Rev. 11 verse only mentions that they’ll use those powers ‘when their ministry becomes threatened.’ And it never says they’ll shut the rain for 3.5 years like Elijah did, something many believers just assume. It only says that they’ll ‘have the power’ to shut the rain and turn water into blood. Since the Beast’s 42 month free reign doesn’t start until the two witnesses are killed, they must be here now. I don’t see how, since all the prophesy resolutions on this post came together, that there can be any more leeway. But there is always some uncertainty about ‘units of one’ that can be further divided. Such is the case with all dates by historians; And in fact, AI is much worse than humans at resolving that. It means there’s an unmentioned unit of one or a fraction of one unit buffer around every date resolution.
TheJews aren’t the only ones who need to hear the truth; We’re in the time that some call the Babylonian (worldly) church.I think the reasonthere are two menorahs in Rev. 11, instead of only one, as was the case in Zechariah’s Old Testament vision when the two olive trees were feeding only one menorah, is because this time there are two covenant peoples not one, who need to be spiritually fed.
I’m not going to try to explain it here, except to say that Jesus is the living WORD, which is the true manna (bread of life) and that His spirit is the Holy Spirit (likened to first pressed olive oil);
When the oil (the holy spirit living in the saint) is lit, its flame is the light of the world. It’s the living WORD.
And all of that’s held up by the 7 churches, meaning the 7 ‘types of churches’ who are also called the 7 lamp stands. The Old Covenant Israelites, at the time the Mosaic Law was practiced in God’s temple, were represented by a menorah, which is really 7 attached lamp stands. (Although they’re attached in a very special way.) The Jews are still being represented in that way every year when they observe Hanukkah, whether they realize it or not. And they’ll actually be represented that way again in the temple of God. It will happen – continuously –for many weeks, after the 3rd temple of God in Jerusalem is dedicated.
I’ve begun asmall but growing list: Who might the two witnesses might be?
See the bottom of post: 15.Awesome Testimonies. I think the two witnesses will have the spirit(s) of Zerubabbel and Joshuah, in the same way that John the Baptist had the spirit of Elijah. And if they’re here now, they must be very active in plain sight, probably as the greatest prophetic preachers/witnesses reaching millions online. They’ll be speaking the ‘whole truth’ both to Christians and Jews. They won’t dress up; Always they’ll wear plain garments. They may travel, in order to do street preaching in various places or speak in various venues. I think they’ll gravitate to Jerusalem as soon as the 3rd temple’s built, and that might actually be when they begin regularly preaching side by side.
Note: I have NOT applied ‘hypothetical prophetic 360 day years’ to any of my end time calendrical resolutions.
Regarding time periods given in Revelation and Daniel, if there were no differences between 1,260 days, 42 months, or ‘a time times and half a time’, I don’t think God would have differentiated between months, days and years in such a particular way.
Day counts can start on any day; But I think God’s 42 month periods must start on the first day of a month and they must end on the last day of the 42nd month.
God’s useful measurement called ‘a time, times and half a time’.
I think that 3.5 year intervalmay begin on the first day of either one of His ‘seasons of holy convocations’: That’s either the Spring season, which continues until Fall begins, or the Fall season which continues until Spring begins. (More on its meaning, beneath the date estimate table.)
Only the ‘free reign of the Beast’ and the ‘trampling of the gentiles’ are said to last for 42 months. What fits the timeline is that the ‘trampling of the gentiles’ will begin after the 3rd temple’s built and before the Beast is fully empowered. All sacrifices and oblations to God must be fulfilled before God will allow the Beast to overpower His temple.
I think the Beast’s free reign will begin on Oct. 1-2 Yom Teruah (Trumpets) 2027. That’s ‘Tishri 1,’ which is the first day of Fall on God’s calendar. Daniel 7:25 states that the Beast will overcome the saints for ‘time, times and half a time.’ 42 months lines up with that.
4.31 Count, Glory to God
In the Final Week Date Estimate Chart, just below . . .
I added a ‘leap year month’ to the end of 2024ADT.That pushed forward all 7 holy convocations/appointed times of 2025ADT.(It also pushed forward 2026, but that’s relative, happening rarely.)God’s Old Covenant people were required to add a leap month to about 1/3 of the years, whenever Spring hadn’t sprung and barley ears hadn’t turned green by the end of calendrical Winter. But since the bride of Christ is represented by the barley harvest, and 2025ADT seemed to be the likely year in which Christ would have harvested her, had it not been for His tarry, it made sense to do that since His bride seemed to be somewhat immature then.
Reminder: The term ‘a time’ is based on a season of God’s holy-convocations, which are most important to Him. There are two seasons of holy-convocations per year on God’s Torah calendar: The one we call Spring includes Passover to Shavuot/Pentecost, then it extends to the end of Summer. The one we call Fall includes Yom Teruah (Trumpets) to Sukkot, then it extends to the end of Winter.
3.5 years are what we get when we look at 7 holy-convocation seasons in a row: A time= 2 seasons or 1 year. Times = 4 seasons or two years. Half a time = 1 season or half a year, which can be Spring or Fall. They’re all cosmological years, not hypothetical prophetic 360 day years. So the number of days in their months and number months in their years vary, although they match up with Gregorian years in the long count.
Again, I believe a ‘time, times and half a time‘ as a combined interval can begin in Spring or Fall. That’s very important. If it weren’t true the timelines would be severely restricted.

Addendum:
Why I used the 457 BC for the Decree to Rebuild the Second Temple, activating the 70 weeks of Daniel prophesy.
The Persian Calendar
King Artaxerxes wrote a relevant decree in the 7th year of his reign, between the 458 to 457 BC. The dates below are sometimes said to be his Reign.
Reign
August 465–December 424 BC
August 465 BC was the date he murdered his father Xerxes and took over rule. After that, his official ‘ascension day’ was uncertain until it was officially recognized on January 2-3 464 BC and then his reginal year actually began at the Spring equinox from the Persian vantage point, which translates to about March 21, 464 BC.
The last year of the 69th week of the Daniel 9:24, 70-Weeks-Prophesy is the year Jesus Christ was Baptized with the holy Spirit . . .
. . That was the year He become the Messiah.
The first 69 weeks-of-years of Daniel’s 70 weeks are 483 solar years, 365.24 days each.
The decree must have been given on the first year of a Jubilee Cycle, which is why Daniel broke off the first seven weeks of years of the 69 weeks of years before the gap.
Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ … Daniel 9:25
4.35 Count, Glory to God
That was a 483 year, inclusive count to the year of Jesus’ Baptism.
Here’s the math for the 457 BC decree: 483 – 457 = 26. . . Then we must add ‘one’ to 26, because of the missing year 0 between BC & AD. According to this simple method, Jesus would’ve been baptized in AD 27.
The many other attempted explanations about the decree, don’t disqualify a 457 BC decree.

The intention of King Artaxerxes 1st was for God’s Temple and the City of Jerusalem with walls to be built. God had written to King Cyrus about this through Isaiah, mainly in:
. . . who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd and will accomplish all that I please; he will say of Jerusalem, “Let it be rebuilt,” and of the temple, “Let its foundations be laid.” Isa. 44:28
I will raise up Cyrus in my righteousness: I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild my city and set my exiles free, but not for a price or reward, says the LORD Almighty. Isa. 45:3
That was over 150 yrs. before King Cyrus’ reign. God said that it’s His will for Jerusalem and His temple to be rebuilt by Cyrus. Read what King Artaxerxes himself said in the following verse recorded in Ezra 7: 21-2 from his decree:
Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven must be done diligently for His house. For why should wrath fall on the realm of the king and his sons?
Ezra 7:23
4.37 Count, Glory to God
Ezra, was a Levite born to a priestly family, a Biblical scribe, writing books of Torah and prophets at a time when the scribes were the most highly regarded persons in the Jewish community; If there was anybody who didn’t corrupt God’s Holy calendar, it was Ezra!
“On the twelfth day of the first month we set out from the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem, and the hand of our God was upon us to protect us from the hands of the enemies and bandits along the way.“
Ezra 8:31
The question about the ‘first month’ is whether Ezra was referring to Nisan Spring/Torah calendar or Tishri/Civil calendar. But, there’s no way to know.
As mentioned above, Artaxerxes’ Decree must have been given in the first year of a Great Jubilee Cycle, and it’s possible that it was in the Spring
Why did the Archangel Gabriel section off the initial seven-weeks-of-years (49 years) when he spoke to Daniel the words of the 70-Weeks-Prophesy? Was it to make it clear that He was using a Jubilee based accounting system on God’s Covenant Time? The answer, in my opinion, is Yes.
4.38 Count, Glory to God
That means the 483rd year must be a Sabbatical year. . .
. . . followed by three ‘anointed years’ until the crucifixion of Jesus Christ . . .
. . . followed by the gap.Email
. . . followed by the final week of years,which must end on the final Sabbatical year.
. . . and, half way through the final Sabbatical year, the final Jubilee Year will begin.
That’s how the 490 year block chart above was organized.
Again, it uses God’s Spring to Winter’s end Torah year structures. Most prophesy watchers use Fall to Summer’s end year structures; Nevertheless, I’ve noticed that useful information can be gleaned from most of the different calendars.
But, I still think God’s important prophesies can more precisely be balanced using the calendars He actually prescribed, to the best of our understanding of them.

It’s been long 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.
The word ‘moedim’ 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 Atonement
Yom Teruah is the Day of Shouting or Trumpet Blowing
5.1 Trumpets, Glory God Beyond
The Spring appointed days were fulfilled by Jesus Christ in His first coming.
A simpler chart:
5.2 Trumpets, 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 Almighty 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, Yom Teruah was observed during the time of the United Nations SDG 2030 Agenda Action Weekend, the two days preceding the SDG 2030 AgendaSummit, 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, an alert to Christ’s bride as well as the wake up call to the bridesmaids as per the Parable of the 10 Bridesmaids. See:
The SDG 2030 Agenda is, at the very 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 of Pact for the Future, but I’ve come to understand that a 7 year 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 support this reading; Only the Masoretic text says the actual agreement is made for seven years.)
The SDG Agenda initiated the ‘peace and security’ mantra and set the stage for the UN to superseded the powers of individual nations; Then the Pact for the Future was signed a year later on Feast of Trumpets 2024!
The Feast of Trumpets is traditionally observed with 100 Trumpet Blows.
Its ultimate purpose seems to be the sounding of alarms, to those who are listening, in the final week of years of this age. God’s appointed times are called Moadim, which means ‘times’ but also means ‘dress rehearsals’; They’re intended to prepare the Israelites for the day in which it will actually be fulfilled. In other words, it’s been God’s plan to ultimately use Yom Teruah to alert his saints to the progression of important end time events, including agreements of great magnitude, each building upon the other toward the building of the 3rd temple. It’s a process that will be associated with the world’s efforts to divide 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, ultimately involved with the further dividing of God’s land leading to the building of the 3rd temple of God. 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 conclusion of the Great American Eclipse, (a portal was opened by CERN on that day) 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 Trumpets, Glory God Beyond
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud 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 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. Then they waited until the regular September UN convening, in which Australia and Canada said they’d be signing on, but with some conditions. That was leaving the United States and Germany as the only powerful countries not ganging up on Israel. Although that support seems to be fading, in some ways.
The UN’s intention was decisive action on Gaza. I predicted Trump wanted to beat them to it with some permutation of the Abraham Accords pt. 2. The UN certainly didn’t know about the original Trump Gaza Plan (Plaza Gaza) 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 know 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 times for sounding trumpets.
In the Old Covenant, in God’s 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. The final Yom Teruah will be bad, that’s why on the orange chart up top, skulls are shown.

The First Seal of the Scroll – Has Jesus Broken It, Removing the First Part of The Restrainer?
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 was also 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.
Take a quick look at what was already set up in Iran in the Summer of 2023:

Why was the world so asleep, including Christians?
The words below in Hebrew and Farsi say, “Israel shall be erased off the face of the Earth.”
The Masoretic text mis-translation of Numbers 24, has caused Gog and Magog to be incorrectly drawn by many scholars on maps, showing Magog as if it simply remained in Asia Minor, where it began. The Book of Revelation describes it as the four corners of the earth. See post 27. The Beast is a Gog.https://alephtav.blog/27-gog/
5.10 Trumpets, Glory God Beyond
Keep that in mind, while reading the Ezekiel link below: The areas in the final tribulations are most passionately rooted in the lands surrounding Israel; But a good study reveals something about how their branches have spread; Especially Magog! Approximately 4 other of those ancient peoples are still deeply rooted in what we call Turkey and although they’ve spread also, it was to a much lesser degree. Of those who spread and became the Turks, many actually returned to Asia Minor in the 15th century. The details are speculative, but since Iran’s in the process of getting new leadership, maybe we should keep in mind that they’ll probably be seduced or forced to join the strong new Sunni alliances that are congealing, because, as we know, they’ll fight along side Turkey against Israel in the Gog Magog war.
An excerpt: The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him 3 and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
That link may need basic explanation: When Ezekiel speaks of Gog of the land of Magog who’s the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, Gog is the title of the chief princes of the dominant tribe that descended from Noah’s first son Japheth, after the flood. The dominant tribe of Japheth was Magog. It’s mainly Magog, that will have spread across the whole Earth by the time the prophesy comes true. Gog will come from a major power base some where in the territories where Magog has spread. Gog will dominate the leader(s) representing Meshech and Tubal. Currently that’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

All born to Japheth, those are the main tribes of the roots of the Caucasian people, most of which originally settled in Anatolia, which is modern day Turkey.
5.12 Trumpets, Glory God Beyond
There is an unnamed character. He’s the fourth ‘King of the North’ described in Daniel 11. He’s at the time of the end. He’ll be defeated when he ‘sets up the tents of his palace’ seemingly in Gaza, in order to attack Jerusalem after he plunders several other nations. Nations in the Bible have as been described as being ‘from the North’ who were not from the geographical North, because the uppermost part of the Great Rift Valley divides Israel from the East, forcing Eastern armies to swing up around and down. Despite that Putin and Erdogan are serious candidates; But this is not the Ezekiel 38 War, which will happen after, when Israel lets it’s defenses down after a false peace. (I mention the King of the North here because it’s one of the three clearest wars of the final 7 years of this age, the other main ones being the Ezekiel 38 War and Armageddon.)
Ezekiel also mentioned that 5 more peoples will join those already mentioned: Persia (which is Iran), Cush,Put,Gomer and Gomer’s son’s tribe ‘Beth Togarmah’.
Details
Persia/Iran
Japheth had a son named Madai who, instead of settling in Anatolia, went East to what became the upper half of the ancient Persian Empire. They came to be called the Medes; The Iranian Kurds are descended from them.
Noah’s second son Shem was the father of Elam, ancestor of the Elamites who make up a great part of Southern Iran. The area that’s still named Elam is on three Gulf of Hormuz and contains the Bushehr Nuclear power plant.
5.13 Trumpets, Glory God Beyond
Cush
Descended from Noah’s other son ‘Ham’, Cush is one of the original two tribes that settled in Africa, but mainly rooted in the areas south of Egypt – centering on what we call Sudan today (originally called ‘Ethiopia’ in the Bible).
Put (Phut)
Descended from Noah’s son Ham. Put is one of the original two tribes that settled in Africa, but mainly rooted in North Africa – centering on what we call Libya today.
Gomer and Togarmah
Gomer a son of Japheth is unique because, although he originally set roots in Anatolia, part of his tribe spread East to the Northern most Central Asia, especially through his son Beth-Togarmah’s tribe. They came to be called the Turks, the same Turks who returned to Anatolia, conquered the nearly 1,000 yr. enduring Christian Byzantine Empire and established the Ottoman Empire there under Islam!
The rest of Gomer
Not all of Gomer’s sons expanded Northeastward; In fact, some of his sons tribes expanded Westward and then Northward into the areas we now call Europe. (In fact, that part is more well known to Bible scholars, probably because historically, most of them were Westerners themselves, and thus knew their own history better that the history of Central Asia.)
Dec. 2025 update: Since I started this post in August 2023, the Nazi spirit has nearly consumed the 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 that came against Israel. The ‘Valley of Jehoshaphat’ is where that judgment will take place.
The true Church must absolutely not join the world against the Jews, because we are 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 home during Jesus Christ’s Millennial Kingdom. We are the ultimate 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:
It seems clear to me that 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 so we can 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!
Yom Teruah is a God appointed holy day of shouting and trumpet blowing.
Most people call it the Feast of Trumpets.
Yom Teruah comes to mind when we read these rapture verses:
1 Thess. 4: 16-17, 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.
Christ may gather His bride on Yom Teruah.
Update: In 2026, Yom Teruah falls on 9/11.
A WEEK OF DISTRACTIONS – STAY FOCUSED – 911 IS COMING
Yom Teruah, which was traditionally observed with 100 trumpet blows, with the first and last soundings being special long blows, had traditionally been called the, ‘the day that no man knows.’ It’s a Hebrew idiom:
It was the only Torah appointed-day that began exactly when the ‘new moon’ was sighted by two eye witnesses from Jerusalem.
The people of God had to be on their toes, because the festival was a special High Sabbath.
6.1 Horn, Glory God Beyond
It can be difficult to determine the first sliver of the month when the sky isn’t clear.
Some months have two invisible moons in a row, and also in certain months, the first sliver’s very thin. The first sliver is also challenging to see because it appears low on the horizon. Modern astronomers call the unseen moon a ‘new moon,’ but for the Israelites, the first sliver was the new moon. It wouldn’t have been very festive to sight an invisible moon!
Contrary to what some Bible expositors believe, there’s no mention of equinoxes in the Torah. God’s Torah calendar used a different way to prevent the first month, Nisan, from slipping into Winter, over time. They added an intercalary month called ‘Adar II’ in the years when Spring hadn’t yet sprung and barley heads hadn’t turned green at ‘Winter’s end’.
That was how it was supposed to be, but the Israelites greatly corrupted the calendar God’s gave them, by changing their New Year to the Fall.
Today, Yom Teruah is called Rosh Hashanah, which means ‘head-of-the-year,’ But God’s head of the year is the first day of Spring.
God’s ‘head-of-the-year’ was meant to bring forth memories of when God gave Moses His calendar and first set of instructions for Passover and the Exodus. And it was supposed to turn their focus toward getting ready for Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread and First Fruits, their Spring holy convocations with God, in the temple.
The meaning of Yom Teruah has been mysterious; and even that was lost on them over the centuries as it became a silly confetti throwing, noisy, meaningless secular event, even a parade of rebellion. But, the barley ripening method of determining when Spring began, continued to be used to readjust the moon cycles with the sun cycles.
6.2 Horn, Glory God Beyond
The determination of the exact day upon which their corrupted Yom Teruah was observed, on their corrupted calendar, was delegated to a civil authority’s discretion. Such may’ve been acceptable to God on rare occasions, such as war or intolerable weather, but the Jews lost the accurate meaning of the naked eye moon sightings when they habitually adjusted it for their own convenience or as an excuse to add an extra day between the end of the previous civil year for various reasons. One reason may have been a perception of time being ‘out of sync’ because of their desire to be more in sync with the other nations.
As mentioned above, the Winter’s end leap-months were an attribute of God’s Torah calendar that they continued to use, because the scribes and priesthood continued to struggle to keep track of the Torah calendar all the way until the 2nd temple was destroyed; But it was difficult, partly because their civil leadership and population were doing their own thing, celebrating Rosh Hashanah in the Fall! (Even the Levitical priesthood became Hellenized for decades when the Seleucids took control in ~200 BC. But, the Maccabees fought them from 167 to 134 BC; They re-established sacrifices and oblations at the temple in a compromised manner, making themselves priests instead of the Levites. The Jews memorialized the purification of God’s temple by instituting Hanukkah. That was after the Seleucids desecrated the temple with their Zeus idol.) But amazingly, when Jesus Christ walked the streets of Jerusalem, leap months were still being used between Winter and Summer; It worked, because it’s a wonderful calendar. Yet, all this must be why there’s no record of Jesus having attended Rosh Hashanah in the Gospels, while attending all the other holy convocations, even, Hanukah and Purim! That means a lot! Sadly, most modern Jews won’t even know what you’re talking about if you mention the terms ‘Yom Teruah’ or ‘Feast of Trumpets’.
After God had the 2nd temple destroyed, Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets, became nothing but a falsity, even with the spirit of celebration of rebellion, although trumpets are still blown.
Yom Teruah, which means day of shouting and trumpet blowing was commanded by YHWH in Leviticus 23:24 and Numbers 29:1:
It was commanded to be observed by Hebrew Israel as one holy day. And it’s the only holy convocation for which God gave no clear reason for its observance. That’s part of what makes it so mysterious! I believe it was always foreshadowing the urgent warnings that will take place in and around the final years of the Daniel 9 prophesies. The fact that it precedes the ten solemn days of repentance leading up to the Day of Atonement gives us an ominous clue that that Yom Teruah will be used as harbinger in the end times to alert us that the Time of Jacob’s Trouble is drawing near.
It’s become well known that it was also a common phrase among the participants of Yom Teruah to utter ‘no one knows the hour’ regarding when the last trumpet will be blown. That was part of the intrigue as the festival approached the dark night.
According to the Gregorian calendar, yet still based on the imperfect Rabbinical Hebrew Calendar, the date/time for the conclusion of the observation of the Feast of Trumpets 2023 was Sept. 17, the second day of the Rabbinical calendar new year. And something very notable occurred, Jesus’s Midnight Cry Event.
The trumpets were blown the day before the UN SDG 2030 Agenda Summit began and the next day began the Summit in which it was ratified. see
On October 7, 2023, 21 days after those trumpets were blown, and 19 days after the SDG 2030 Agenda was ratified, Hamas brutally attacked Israel at the Nova concert.
There was also one of God’s celestial signs: Comet Nishimura reached its perihelion on Sept. 17, 2023 while it was passing through Leo, representing the Lion of Judah on its way to Virgo, which represents Israel in the Rev. 12 and Purim signs.
6.5 Horn, Glory God Beyond
Regarding the Sept. 17, 2023 date I gave above for The Midnight Cry Event, I said it happened on the ‘conclusion of’ Yom Teruah? Why? Wasn’t it commanded by YHWH as one appointed day? Wasn’t the last trumpet of Yom Teruah supposed to be blown only on the first day of the month?
Ancient traditions developed, for Jews outside Israel, to extend nearly all Torah holy convocations by a day, because of great difficulty keeping track of a Jerusalem-centric lunar calendar from afar; They didn’t want to inadvertently miss the actual day that God commanded. That’s why our calendars for 2023 show both Sept. 16 and Sept. 17 as Feast of Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah. Also, no trumpets at all were blown on Sept. 16 that year because it fell on a weekly Sabbath.
Strangely not blowing trumpets when the Feast of Trumpets falls on a weekly Sabbath came to be the tradition, despite the fact that Feast of Trumpets itself is a High Sabbath, in which trumpet blowing was commanded!
. . . when we refer to Hebrew days by the Gregorian calendar, we go by the date that corresponds to its ‘daylight portion’ otherwise it gets confusing. Example, when we refer to ‘Sept 16’ as the first day of the Hebrew month of Tishri, it’s understood that Tishri 1 actually began, not at midnight, but about six hours before that, at sunset (literally on Sept 15.)
Metonic Cycle
Despite the fact the Jews had the mathematical, Metonic Cycle calendar, possibly as early as around 380 BC, which may have assisted the leaders of the diaspora Jewish communities to keep track, they decided to continue observing the extra days for their supposed holy convocations.
6.7 Horn, Glory God Beyond
A very good thing is that at the time Jesus walked the Earth in the flesh, they still hadn’t considered the Metonic calendar to be completely reliable, and so they were continuing to add leap year months at the end of Winter when necessary. The information in the following link was very difficult to come by and may prove important for estimating the date upon which Christ was crucified:
Not until the fourth century did Rabbinical Judaism fully institute the Metonic calendar, which is bad. It corrupted the perfect fractal symmetry that God Almighty built His holy convocations upon. When they did it, Rabbinical authorities had to invent statutes to artificially constrain the days upon which the Feast of Trumpets could start, to Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays, in order to keep other high holy days of that month from falling on ‘undesirable’ days. This does not please God.
Regarding calendars, if that’s not enough, and there’s actually a lot more, including missing years on the Anno Mundi rabbinical calendar. One thing that really demonstrates the degradation of Torah holy convocation time keeping, is that since the Fig Tree Generation put forth its tender shoots and leaves, when the Nation of Israel was re-established in 1948, the Feast of Trumpets continues to be celebrated for two days, even IN ISRAEL!
1 Corinthians 15: 51-52, Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
Matthew 14:31, And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
Beyond Yom Teruah, shofars and trumpets were blown in ancient Israel to announce monthly new moons, festivals, coronations of kings, military mobilization, and battle signals. The trumpet was used to signal assembly to march the camps in the wilderness, as a memorial before God during sacrifices, and times of war.
“This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.”
John 3:19 NIV
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.
Revelation 21:8 NIV
Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.
“Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other.“Isaiah 45:22
For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “By repentance and rest you would be saved; your strength would lie in quiet confidence–but you were not willing. (Isaiah 30:15)
Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.” (John 10: 8-10)

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him (harvest), That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ (Day of the Lord’s wrath) is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come an apostasy first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him. (Psalm 2: 11-12)

Enter through the narrow gate for wide is the gate and broad the way leading to destruction, and many are those entering through it. (Matt. 7:13)
I (Jesus) am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture. (John 10:9)

1 John 2:15-17, “Do not love the world or anything in the world.
If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.
The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.”
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. (Philippians 2: 5-12)

Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.
Revelation 4:4-5
10.8 Glory God Beyond
Who are the 24 Elders in Our Holy Father’s Throne Room?
I think the 24 elders are the Old Testament saints who Jesus Christ released from captivity in Hades, from the bosom of Abraham. Where did Jesus take them?
I think Jesus brought them to God our Father’s throne room as the first fruits offering of the Barley Harvest of Saints. They may’ve been the ones who had faith in the Son of God Yeshua Messiah before He even came to Earth, as they saw Him, as through a glass darkly.
“Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.” (John 8:56)
Only after examining every theory out there in great depth, did I come to that conclusion, but only after the Holy Spirit spoke to me once, when I was going down the wrong track.
Note: As far as I know, the 24 elders were never ‘seen’ in any of the Old Testament prophet’s visions, but God. YHWH mentioned them once to Isaiah (Isa. 24) in a vision of the far future, after the Millennium and before the new Universe, when Earth was torn apart completely. I don’t think God was necessarily indicating that the elders were already in His throne room before the time when Isaiah lived.
10.9 Glory God Beyond
The 24 Elders as the First Fruits of the Barley Harvest of Souls:
Of the two grape harvests of Rev. 14, I think only the second harvest is the grapes of wrath.
First Fruits of the Barley Harvest may be the people whose bodies rose from their graves after Jesus died on the cross, and later got up and walked into Jerusalem after Jesus Christ was resurrected. Those might’ve been the formerly captive souls that Jesus brought up from Sheol, whobythe power of Jesus Christ, re-entered their bodies; They may have risen to heaven at the same time Christ did, meeting Him in the clouds. If so, Christ would’ve brought them to Father God as the First Fruits, of the Barley Harvest.
Because no one appears before God empty handed: Exodus 3:21, 23:15; Deut. 16:16.

1 Corinthians 15:20-26 ESV
But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.
Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
Rev. 4:9-11
. . . the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”
10.11 Glory God Beyond
At times, God has considered certain men to be in His divine assembly.
For example, the ‘gods’ of Psalm 82; They aren’t the same as the 24 elders. The Psalm 82 ‘gods’ were unrighteous, the 24 elders, righteous.
10.12 Glory God Beyond
Psalm 82
God presides in the great assembly; He renders judgment among the ‘gods.’ “How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. “I said, ‘You are ‘gods’; you are all sons of the Most High. But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.”
Jesus told us who the ‘gods’ of Psalm 82 really were:
Jesus answered them (the Pharisees), “Is it not written in your Law (Psalm 82) ‘I have said you are “gods”’? If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside –what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world?

They will be herded together like prisoners bound in a dungeon; they will be shut up in prison and be punished after many days.The moon will be dismayed, the sun ashamed; for the Lord Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before its elders—with great glory.”
Before I understood who the 24 elders really are, the best candidates were the ‘elect angels.’ I’ve left some remnants from the prior argument below because the study elements still glorify Jesus Christ!
From Moses’ song:
Deuteronomy 32: 8-9 “When the Most High apportioned the nations, when He divided humankind, he fixed the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the ‘gods’ (elohim); the LORD’s own portion was his people, Jacob his allotted share.” (The Septuagint translated elohim to angels.)

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross. (Colossians 2:15 NLT)
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. (Colossians 2:16)
The last enemy to be destroyed is death. “For God has put everything under His feet “Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.

7 Blazing Torches in Front of God’s Throne.
This is a fascinating topic:
St. John saw the seven blazing torches and was told they’re the seven spirits of God. Is that description only focusing on the oil part, since oil represents the Holy Spirit in the Bible? Isn’t the living WORD Jesus Christ the actual light part? But wait . . . there’s no light on lamp stands unless their oil burns;
Let’s examine it:
It makes sense that together the lamp stands symbolize the entire church – all 7 types or models, as described in Rev. 2-3. At the time of St. John’s throne room vision, each lamp stand was in the blazing state that God desired. At that time they all will have sufficient holy spirit oil and will be lit with blazing flames being fanned; All 7 lamp stands will be and now are shining forth the light of truth into this dark world; The 7 lamp stands collectively must represent the completed, mature, true church that Jesus Christ died for, His bride and his bridesmaids. I think the fact that all 7 are lit also shows that she’s at least somewhat mature, although she remains on Earth. The blazes on the torches serve like a meter in God’s throne room; And at the time of St. John’s vision they’re indicating to all the living beings in God’s throne room that it’s time for the Lamb of God to take the scroll of the Deed to Earth from His Father’s hand, and get ready to break its first seal; Thus the 24 elders broke out into song, praising Jesus for purchasing ‘them’ while YHWH handed the scroll to His Son, the Worthy One, His Perfect Sacrificial Lamb.
10.17 Glory God Beyond
Jesus Christ had spoken something to St. John, just 8 verses prior to that, before St. John ‘looked’ and ‘saw’ the open door in heaven and heard a voice like a trumpet saying “COME UP HERE”:

Here’s what Jesus Christ said:
“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write”
These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open doorthat no one can shut.
I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name.I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. Since you have kept My command to endure patiently,
I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.(Rev. 3:1-13)
10.19 Glory God Beyond
The ‘open door’ concept was described twice in a row, first in Rev. 3:8 and then in Rev. 4:1.
The greater context: The Book of Revelation opens with St John’s vision of Jesus Christ walking among 7 lamp stands; He tells us what they are:
I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lamp stands, and among the lamp stands was someone like a son of man, dressed in . . . (It’s Jesus in His Glory.) ‘The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lamp standsis this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamp stands are the seven churches. . .’ (Rev. 1:12-13, 20)
Then Jesus gives a ‘progress report’ to each church. And at the end of each progress report, seven times, He concludes with, “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
10.20 Glory God Beyond
After that, St. John is transported to heaven and he sees this:
From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne,seven torches were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. (Rev. 4:5)
In St. John’s first vision on the island of Patmos, he didn’t mention whether or not the lamp stands that Jesus walked among were lit. The focus was on the churches. A church isn’t the flame, but the device that holds up the oil, and the flame, if it’s lit. It’s the responsibility of a church and it’s congregation to spark and fan the flame and to not quench the Holy Spirit.
I like this picture; but there’s no need for each of the seven lamp stands have more than one lamp.
10.21 Glory God Beyond
What sparks the flame and what fans the flames of the Holy Spirit to make a blaze?
Jesus seems to have said that it’s listening and hearing what the spirit says to the churches. How do we hear what He said? I think we better read Rev. 2-3!
(((excerpts)))
To Ephesus, Rev. 2:7, “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.”
To Smyrna, Rev. 2:11, “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death.”
Pergamum, Rev. 2:17, “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.”
To Thyatira, Rev. 2:26-29, “To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations— that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’ – just as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give that one the morning star. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
To Sardis, Rev. 3:3-6, “Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. . . . Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels. Hold it fast, and repent. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
To Philadelphia, Rev. 3:11-13, “I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
To Laodicea, Rev. 3:19-22, “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hearsmy voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

The rewards that Jesus promised point to the time of the end of the age:
The Church of Philadelphia was given the promise by Jesus that they’d be kept from the hour of trial that was coming upon the whole world;The 7 churches must be representative of all the churches, those from each of the 7 types, that have existrd from the first century all the way until the time until the end, because the hour of trial that comes upon the whole world, that Jesus spoke of, is the beginning of great tribulation.
Recap: In Revelation 4:1, St John looks and sees a door: “After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”
10.23 Glory God Beyond
. . . Rev. 4: 2-3-5, “At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne. Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.”
‘7’ is God’s number of perfect completion and can be likened to 100%. There’s only ‘one’ Holy Spirit, and God is completely holy, I’m sure God wouldn’t uphold or edify any ‘other’ spirits in front Himself, not as a central feature in His throne room while He sits on His throne. Therefore the Holy Spirit, must be ‘seven fold’ in its ‘oneness’ since He is called the seven spirits of God. This is my opinion, but it’s strongly backed by the fact that Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God, had 7 horns on his head when St. John saw Him standing in God’s throne room: That represents 100% of might so Jesus Christ is almighty; And, there’s also the amazing fact that Father God designed the entire time scheme of the universe according to units of ‘7’. And the Holy Spirit can be represented as 7 fold in more than one way; For example, the seven eyes of the head of the Lamb of God in Rev. 5:6were described as being ‘the seven spirits of God.’ That indicates that Jesus Christ is omniscient. (Sometimes the Holy Spirit is reckoned differently, such as in the way He’s distributed Himself as earnests among all the individual saints. And I’m not very sure if the following is of the Holy Spirit, but the 4 chariots described in Zechariah 6 are said to be ‘4 spirits of God’; Perhaps those are the spirits of the four living creatures who are closest to God’s throne.) I deduce that all the saints who’ve received the Holy Spirit, must fit best into one of the seven ‘church types’. And that’s true whether or not they’re a part of a traditional church congregation, because it must be the particular challenges, strengths and weaknesses of the members of those churches that differentiate the type. For example, if a believer’s’ most difficult challenge is overcoming sexual immorality they are of the church of Thyatira. Etc. . . .
10.24 Glory God Beyond
. . . turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lamp stands, and among the lamp stands was someone like a son of man . . . . Rev. 1: 12-13
Does the presence of the 7 blazing torches/lamp stands in God’s throne room, indicate that the church will have already have been physically redeemed before the Lamb of God takes the scroll from the hand of our Holy Heavenly Father?
Don’t be confused by this picture, St John did not see two additional menorahs in the back of Gods throne room. That’s merely an artist’s rendition since menorahs symbolize the Old and New Covenant betrothals between God and humanity.
Our precedent was the Earthly Temple of God: Did the flames of God’s heavenly menorah go out whenever the flames of the menorah in the earthly temple went out?
I’m not implying that that’d mean the Holy Spirit would ever cease to exist!
What I’m suggesting only regards the menorah and/or the 7 lamp stands as being a beautiful device that serves like a barometer, indicating to all who enter there room, what the condition of the relationship with God’s betrothed is, as she’s still on Earth. For example: When Father God’s Old Covenant wife wasn’t in good standing, such as when the priesthood was causing the Holy Spirit to grieve and God’s covenant people were sinning badly, the flames would grow dim.
That happened after the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The Sanhedrin, Pharisees and the Jews of the nation as a whole, were held responsible for it by God Almighty. So after that, the flames of their menorah went out continuously for 40 yrs, until God destroyed the 2nd temple.
What I just described was recorded by the Jews in their Talmud: “The flames continuously blew out for 40 years, and also the temple doors kept flying open and the red cord never again turned white.“
.
After the 2nd Temple was Destroyed: There was an Enormous Change:
A New Nation of Priests to God had Taken its Stand: The True Church of Jesus Christ.
10.25 Glory God Beyond
Christ’s 7 Fold Church
The church is represented by the 7 lamps in God’s throne room. It’s not a menorah but it’s like a menorah whose flames or absence thereof stand for the strength of their relationship with God – each type of church – as it varies over time. As mentioned above, each type has different challenges that they need to overcome. Individuals of: Ephesus must regain their first love, Smyrna will need to endure 10 days of suffering and possible martyrdom, Pergamon must cease to sell the gifts that the Holy Spirit gave them, Thyatira must cease their physical and spiritual prostitution, Sardis must stop being dead, Philadelphia saints must only hold on to their crowns, and Laodicia must stop being so comfortable in this world.
Individual saints are the living stones of God’s living temple, so there’s no longer any need keep a physical flame burning continuously on a physical menorah in a masonry temple. The saints themselves are the light of the world. Every saint drinks of the same Holy Spirit, who indwells each saint. The Holy Spirit and the WORD is what holds the living temple together making it possible for spiritual light to shine. The physical light on the lamp stands in God’s throne room can be likened to the words of truth, which make up the spiritual light that shines forth from believers who speak them.
Something very significant happened after the Lamb of God took the scroll from His Father’s hand, but before He broke the first seal. The 24 elders sang “You have made them(not us) to be a kingdom of priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.” Notice that it’s in the past tense ‘you have made’. So Jesus had already ‘made’ His kingdom of priests. They’re ready, but that doesn’t necessarily mean His kingdom of priests had yet been transported to heaven before the 24 elders sang their song. The 24 elders would’ve known that Jesus’ Kingdom is ‘ready’ just by observing the quality of the blazes on the 7 torches standing before the Worthy Lamb. If the bride of Christ had already been transported to heaven, wouldn’t they have literally been seen standing there by St John? St John saw the tribulation saints standing before the throne of God at the sixth seal.
Finally, Jesus Christ will Rule the World as King Over All Nations.
And, His beloved resurrected saints will serve Him faithfully on Earth, as judges, priests princes and enforcers for a thousand years. Some will be made to be kings over the remaining nations.

He’ll rule His Millennial Kingdom with an iron rod to fulfill God’s promises to Abraham. And, He’ll defeat all remaining dark powers and authorities before returning the universe to God His/Our Father.
Differing interpretations of the neglected Isaiah 24 chapter:
My interpretation is that, 1,000 yrs before the events of Isaiah 24, after the greatest tribulation/The Time of Jacobs’ Trouble has been brought to His victorious conclusion, Jesus Christ will, with great power, rapidly and supernaturally, repair and revive this Earth, eliminating nuclear radiation and toxic waste, etc.; Then He will rule the Kingdom that God that promised to Abraham’s descendants, including all those of the spiritual seed of faith in Jesus Christ who will rule beside Him. In that way God delays His final destruction of this Earth until all His promises to Abraham have been fulfilled.
And only then will God the Father create the New Heavens and New Earth.
A response to the interpretation that He will destroy Earth before the Millennial Kingdom:
It doesn’t make sense for the promises God made to Abraham not to be fulfilled on this same Earth.
Part of the Glory of Jesus Christ is that He has the power and will to make this corrupt fallen world into a just world via an iron rod, before He annihilates it. We know there will be one brief final rebellion at the end of Jesus Christ’s Millennial Kingdom, just before His Great White Throne Judgment. But in contrast to the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, there will be no real tribulation since the rebellion will be instantly and completely put down. And there will be no more second chances.
Regarding the Consummation of this Present Era
God said He’ll cut his wrath short for His elect, otherwise there’d be no more flesh. By comparison, Isaiah 24 seems to be much more intensely dramatic; In time it’s horrifically condensed, as if God finally gets to spend that very last part of His wrath, the part He held back for the sake of the last remaining elect prior to the Millennium. You might very rightly ask: Doesn’t Matt. 24 say there will be no greater tribulation? There’s a big difference between going through prolonged tribulation, which includes amplified temptations and very real heart wrenching soul choices- the entire future hanging in the balance – as long as salvation is still possible, and simply being annihilated spectacularly and quickly.
There will be no cutting short and no holding back by God then. Those who belong to Christ, having already received their glorified bodies, will not be hurt by it. The final uprising against Jerusalem will be put down very very quickly. It’s the final Gog Magog rebellion and it will be brief. Satan will finally be thrown into the eternal lake of fire where the beast and false prophet will have already been for a 1,000 years.

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” . Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” . Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
We’re very close in time to being gathered by our Savior, Jesus Christ. I’m going to address the timing of the Fig Tree Generation. It’s essential! The ‘fig tree’ is an Old Testament symbol for National Israel.
Jesus Christ, God the Son, instructs us to learn the ‘Parable of the Fig Tree’ in order to know when He will be at the door.(A time indicator relevant to all three crops of souls)
32Now learn the parable of the fig tree: When its branch already may have become tender and it puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is near. 33So also you, when you see all these things, know that He is near, at the doors. 34Truly I say to you that this generation will not have passed away until all these things shall have taken place. 35The heaven and the earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away. (Matt. 24:32-36 BLB)
Parables have deeper meanings, especially those of Jesus Christ!
Jesus isn’t merely using an obvious ‘one thing follows another’ metaphor here, as some people say. Jesus could have chosen any example for that. Parables were difficult to understand and that was intentional.see Matt. 13:13 . . .
Before I explain the fig tree parable, in the rest of this post, unfortunately, I must get a few things out of the way; Sadly, this passagehas been tampered with over the centuries.
Please jump to mark 11.2 to skip the hard analyses for now.
It’s one of the areas of the Bible that’s been manipulated, such as the word ‘He’ in the above Matt. 24:33 verse; It’s been translated as ‘it’ in the KJB and NKJV, but ‘He’ in most the other’s. I checked the word in Greek, and it’s the same word in original manuscripts, both the Textus Receptus and the Nestle-Aland. It’s really an informal version of the name of God, YHWH – I AM!So ‘it’ is hopelessly incorrect.
ἐστιν (estin) Verb – Present Indicative Active – 3rd Person Singular Strong’s 1510: I am, exist. The first person singular present indicative; a prolonged form of a primary and defective verb; I exist.
Here’s the passage again; Let’s take a closer look:
32Now learn the parable of the fig tree: When its branch already may have become tender and it puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is near. 33So also you, when you see all these things, know that He is near, at the doors. 34Truly I say to you that this generation will not have passed away until all these things shall have taken place. 35The heaven and the earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away. (Matt. 24:32-37 BLB) 36No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (Matt. 24:32-37 BSB)
Additionally, an artificial page break has been added between verses 35 and 36, making it appear that the ‘no one knows the day and hour’ verse is especially connected with Matt the 24:37 verse as opposed to the Matt. 14:35 verse
36No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (Matt. 24:32-36 BSB)
37As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. (Matt. 24:37 NIV)
And in verse 37, many translations have added the word ‘But’, which is not in the Greek, at the beginning of the verse. That also artificially and tightly attaches it to verse 36, leading the novice reader directly into the trap of assuming there is no question but that verse 36 is referring to verse 37. But that is not at all certain! It’s merely an attempt to enhance a popular interpretation.
Let’s leave that part alone for now and examine the key word ‘generation.’
11.1 Fig, Glory God Beyond
The Fig Tree ‘generation’ term is presented in the Gospels of Matthew (24:34) and Mark (13:30)
Jesus said that ‘this generation’ will not pass away before His return.
What generation?
The word ‘this’ was referring to the generation that He’d been warning us about from verses 15 to 34. That’s the Olivet Discourse passage that starts with the abomination of desolation and instructions for the Jews to flee from the greatest tribulation of all time, warning them not to believe in false messiahs, and concluding with great signs in the heavens and His being seen coming from the East like lightening by everybody on Earth sending His angels to gather His elect.
Here are all those verses, :
15Therefore when you shall see ‘the abomination of desolation,’ having been spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place–the one reading, let him understand–then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains; the one on the housetop, do not let him come down to take anything out of his house; and the one in the field, do not let him return back to take his cloak. And woe to those having in womb, and to the ones nursing infants in those days! But pray that your flight might not be in winter, nor on a Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, and never shall be. And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the elect, those days will be shortened. Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘Here,’ do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have foretold you. Therefore if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go forth; or ‘Behold, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe. For just as the lightning comes forth from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For wherever the carcass may be, there the vultures will be gathered. And immediately after the tribulation of those days: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’ And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 34And He will send His angels with a great trumpet call, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens to the ends thereof. (Matt. 24:15-34)
The ‘1st heaven’ includes our sky, angels will pass through it.
It couldn’t be clearer that Jesus was talking about the final generation.
When was this generation born? When will they by gone? Most likely, it began on May 14, 1948 when Israel was reborn as a nation in one day.
Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children. (Isaiah 66:8)
The term ‘generation’ has been used for ‘life span’ in the Old Testament, but that was an observation made by Moses about how the times were about 3,400 yrs ago. But the following from a Psalm of King David is somewhat more recent.
The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty if we are strong—yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. (Psalm 90:10 BSB)
So, since it can change, I’m going by the modern statistics:
83.8 yrs is the average lifespan in Israel now. Starting on May 14, 1948 adding 83 yrs lands on Oct. 2031. On my Final Week Date Estimate Chart, Christ’s gathering of the gleanings of the grape harvest of the Jews landed on April 23, 2031 AD (Nisan 30, 31 ADT). That’s a good match!
Old Testament Examples when God saw Figs for Israelites
When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert; when I saw your ancestors, it was like seeing the early fruit on the fig tree.
Hosea 9:10
Now here Figs are used in the Old Testament to represent the conditions of different groups of Israelites.
After the exile, God showed Jeremiah two baskets of figs, one with good figs representing the exiled people of Judah and the other with bad figs representing those remaining in Jerusalem. (Jeremiah 24)
11.3 Fig, Glory God Beyond,
In the following quote, God Almighty calls Israel:
My Vine and My Fig Tree!
The context is the end time army of locusts and worms having come against Israel’s land. (Joel 1)
Joel 1:7 “It made My vine into a desolation and My fig tree into a ruin; it has torn it down and has cast it away and its branches are white.”
11.4 Fig, Glory God Beyond
The Joel 1:7 metaphor is about a single vine and ‘a single fig tree’ not the multitude of agricultural vines, fig trees and other crops growing throughout the land, which were destroyed by the locusts and the worms. What God is referring to as My Fig Tree is unequivocally His people Israel. I’m not saying the land wasn’t also devastated, it will be; But, that was all the crops.
11.5 Fig, Glory God Beyond
In the New Testament:
An enacted parable:
The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it. . . . Then; . . . On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’ The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching. Then; When evening came, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city. In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!
Jesus Messiah was making a point about the fruitlessness of the condition that the Jews were in, especially based on their behavior in the temple courts. He cursed the fig tree so it died to demonstrate and help explain the meaning behind His soon to come destruction of God’s temple in Jerusalem.
In Matthew 21:22, Jesus strongly indicated that FAITH is the most desired fruit.
Some verses inMatthew and Luke are about the fruit of trees in general:
But when John (the baptist) saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his place of baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham (the mostly gentile church). The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
Matt. 3:7-10
11.8 Fig, Glory God Beyond
For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
Luke’s version: He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father’…
Compare the Fig Tree to the Olive Tree, which is God’s primary symbol for ‘spiritual’ Israel because its oil represents the Holy Spirit.
11.9 Fig, Glory God Beyond
The true church of Jesus Christ is not grafted on to the Fig Tree of national Israel, it’s grafted onto the olive tree.
But if some of the branches were broken off, and you (the church), although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the other branches. . .
If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear.For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. (Romans 11:11-21)
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved… Hosea 9:10
What more could I have done for my vineyard that I have not already done? When I expected sweet grapes, why did my vineyard give me bitter grapes? Isaiah 5:4 NLT
Ever since the horribly adulterous incident at Mt. Sinai, when Moses came down the mountain with the original marriage covenant, the Ten Commandments, and found the Israelites worshiping the golden calf idol with revelry, making a festival at what would have been the time of new wine (if they’d had crops) God has mainly described Israel as ‘wild grapes.’
BUT God also said this:
This is what the Lord says: “As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it, there is still a blessing in it,’ so will I do in behalf of my servants; I will not destroy them all. I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and from Judah those who will possess my mountains; my chosen people will inherit them, and there will my servants live. (Isaiah 65:8-9)
11.11 Fig, Glory God Beyond
There is such a thing as Good Grapes of Jewish Israel! The good grapes aren’t the whole nation, they aren’t the whole clusters; they’re found as individual grapes and small clusters. Since there are ‘good grapes’ that’s why I’ve written about the harvest of the remnant Jews as being the Good Grape Harvest.
The following is about the fruit of the vine of the Church:
11.12 Fig, Glory God Beyond
I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
John 15: 1-8
To myself and all of us: Please pay very close attention!
Our blessed hope is in Jesus Christ to take us through His Open Door or to come snatch us up to meet Him in the clouds, trusting that He will bring us on a peaceful pilgrimage to heaven where we’ll be full of joy when we meet our Holy, Heavenly, loving, perfect, eternal Father: WE will tabernacle with them, even in the New Jerusalem. And we might even witnesses Jesus Christ’s majestic coronation as King of the Universe! (Unless He’s already been officially crowned!) Oh eternal adoration beyond words! Finally we’ll be invited to His Majestic Wedding Feast – hopefully as His bride! Then we’ll be by His side forever and ever, including for His spectacular Parousia – all of us with Him on shining white horses, galloping on air, closely behind Him, our Lord, who’s leading us on His most special white horse, as He carries out the conclusion of themost SPECTACULAR VICTORY of ALL TIME!
The only person in the universe worthy to break the seals of 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, only peaking when He breaks the fourth seal:
But just before catastrophe reaches the point where it’d scourge His bride, He will redeem her from Earth.
When I first started this post, the first seal of the scroll, of the Deed to the Earth, seemed to have already been broken by Jesus Christ from God’s Throne Room in Heaven…
. . . but since Sept. 23 ’25 three or perhaps even all four horsemen seem to have begun their marches!
Under the First Seal
When Jesus Christ breaks the first seal, the first horseman, the one who rides a white horse carrying a bow with no arrow and wearing a crown of achievement is released.
Presenting with a ‘stephanos’ crown doesn’t exclude the first horseman from being a king.
Even King Jesus wore one once (Rev. 14).
This Horseman of the Apocalypse is the ‘little horn’ the future Antichrist, before he displaces the three horns/kings of Daniel 7:8.
The White Horseman is thought to represent ‘false peace,’ but in the ancient world, a rider on a white horse represented conquering victory. This rider does conquer, but in the beginning, since he carries no arrow for his bow, he conquers without war or physical violence but instead by diplomacy and deceptive strategy. He’ll most likely present himself as sheep-like, when he’s really a wolf. He’s the Beast so he must be the ultimate crafty user of deception using both subtle and blatant seduction, bribery, propaganda, flattery, threats and much, more. Those techniques themselves are a type of sorcery, but this rider will also represent darker occult practices since he’s the one Satan will possess: (That’s either satan by himself directly or through Abbadon/Apollyon who he will call his son; or possibly through Ashur the principality behind the historical national god of Syria).
The Foreshadower
The Beast was foreshadowed by the 3rd king of the north who historically was Antiochus IV Epiphanes. He’s described in Dan. 11:21-35; An abomination of desolation was mentioned in verse 31. But a later ‘end-times‘ abomination of desolation was written about in Daniel 9:27;That’s the one that will be in the image of the Beast. For the Old Greek translations, which give the full timeline, See post 4.The Countdown.
14.1 The Deed, Glory to God
Is Daniel’s 4th king the Beast?
Dan. 11: 36-45 (Lexham Septuagint 1st ed.Old Greek ), is about a 4th king. That passage really begins at the second half of what’s been labeled as ‘verse 35’ . . . (The Koine Greek, it has no periods or verse numbers) . . . The second half of the verse mentions ‘the appointed time of consummation’ which is the very same wording used in Dan. 9:27 for the utter end of God’s entire plan for this age; It also says: “there is yet an appointed season”, which is an indicator that the angel Gabriel was changing the focus to the future; And that leads directly into ‘the king’ . That’s the 4th king, the one that reads like he’s the Beast: Dan. 11:36, “He will be exalted above every god, and against the God of gods. He will utter excessive arrogance, and he will prosper along his way until the appointed wrath is accomplished for him, for a conclusion is coming” . Dan. 11:37, “… in every way he will be exalted, and powerful nations will be under him…” Dan. 11:39, “He will act concerning cities, and for a powerful stronghold.” Dan. 39, “He will increase his influence and it will gain dominion over him greatly and the land he will divide up as a gift”. (I think ‘the land’ there is Israel.)
14.2 The Deed, Glory to God
It’s certainly taking place in the end-times and he’s very Beast-like . . .
But, the verse that immediately follows states that the archangel Michael will stand up then, and it says it's the day of greatest affliction; Then it says:
“And in that day all the people, whoever may be found inscribed in the book, will be lifted up. 2 And many of those sleeping in the breath of the earth will arise, some into everlasting life but some unto reproach, and some to dispersion and everlasting disgrace. 3 And those who are prudent will shine like the luminaries of heaven, and those who learn and master my words, like the stars of heaven unto the era of the ages.” My understanding is that ‘the day of greatest affliction’ is not just a 24 hour day; It’s the Time of Jacob’s Trouble that’s being described, which lasts 3.5 years, the same duration of time that God will allow the Beast his free reign. I don’t I think that all the saints of Daniel’s people will rise on the same day. This is all about the grape harvest; The first fruits will go up first, being led by those who belong to the first fruits who’d been sleeping in the earth. Soon after that, at the early part of the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, a large number of Jews will flee to the safe place that God has prepared for them in the mountains and will remain there for 1,260 days before being lifted up as the main part of the grape harvest, of which Christ is the owner.
14.3 The Deed, Glory to God
Taking all the above into consideration, and realizing that it could also, as it did with the harvests, take 3.5 years for the 4th king to do all the things mentioned in Dan. 11: 36-45, in addition to all the things that weren’t mentioned or were vague; For example the 1,290 days from the ceasing of sacrifices, the time in which the setup of the ultimate abomination of desolation will begin, until it’s near completion when Jesus destroys it. That’s an important part, but it’s mentioned in Daniel only after bringing up the archangel Michael, 11 verses after the verse that tells of the demise of the King of the North!But that may simply be backtracking. Over all, these passages seem to strongly support that the 4th king is the Beast;We know that Jesus will first destroy the Beast and 30 days later He’ll destroy the abomination of desolation. Nevertheless, on post 13.The Scarlet Beast https://alephtav.blog/13-beast/ I explored the possibility that the fourth king might be the ‘right hand man’ of the Beast, and who he might be. That seemed possible because there will be 7 horns/kings working with the Beast in the beginning of his reign. It’s worth considering because of the uncertainties I explained above and also because it says the 4th king died ‘between the two seas,’ not at Megiddo, which is where we expect the Armageddon armies of the final war to gather; Perhaps the king of the 4th North will lead an arm of the Armageddon army that will spread South from Megiddo.
14.4 The Deed, Glory to God
Regardless of the Kings of Daniel 11: Gog, the chief prince of Magog, is a title of the Antichrist. . .
In the history of the Biblical conquerings of Israel, whenever an enemy was said to be ‘from the north’, it usually meant that the armies approached Israel or Judah from the North, not necessarily that the lands they came from were literally situated to the geographical North of Israel or Judah.
That’s partly because the Upper Great Rift Valley (from southern Africa through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba to the plains of Syria) prevented armies from reaching them from the East. But the North was also the area they feared and ‘North’ came to be used for many dangerous or unknown military enemies; As the Hebrew word translated as ‘north’ also means dark, hidden and above. Keep this in mind when we try to discern the place from which Gog the Beast hails.
A little background . . After the Tower of Babel, the Magog tribe spread the farthest and widest on Earth, conquering other nations. But, although the Antichrist may come from any far corner of the earth, he will nevertheless have a central role in fulfilling the major end time prophesies that are centered on Jerusalem.
14.5 The Deed, Glory to God
The very last thing Dan. 11 says about the 4th king is:
“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)
The area ‘between the two seas’ is most likely Gaza.
From Gaza to Jerusalem is 49 miles and it’s about 58.7 miles from Jabalia, Gaza to the Dead Sea. Megiddo is where most scholars believe the final end time battle will take place. It’s not ‘between the two seas.’ It’s possible that the battle may not take place, at Megiddo but instead all around Jerusalem, between the Mediterranean and the Dead seas or that the armies will fill the entire region from Megiddo to Gaza. The more I work on this interpretation, the more likely I think it is that the 4th king of Daniel 11 is the Antichrist.
14.6 The Deed, Glory to God
Jared Kushner’s Project Sunrise plan for Gaza. Hmmm! Can’t make this stuff up! I don’t think Kushner’s the top candidate to be the king of the North, but many people do. He is certainly going to make Gaza more accessible to the king of the North, whether that someone is the Beast, his right hand man or the one who paves his way! Even if his construction doesn’t get very far, it’ll give access privileges to many of Israel’s enemies under the guise of peace and security. Recep Tayyip Erdogan is one of those; He’s signed on to the Board of Peace.
What Jared Kushner Just Did May Stir The WRATH of God! (The Gaza Prophecy)
The relatively quiet events under the first seal makes the year in which Jesus Christ breaks 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 restraining seal, until the perfect moment according to His perfect plan.
Sept. 17, 2023 may’ve been the day the Precious Lamb of God broke the first seal:
I’ve written in other posts about why I call that day the ‘Midnight Cry Event,’https://alephtav.blog/3-the-cry/ which happened 6 months prior to the start of the 70th week of Daniel, which began after the Aleph Tav solar eclipse sign across America concluded, at sunset. That’s according to my calculations of Biblical prophesy. See post 4.The Countdownlinked below.
It’s very significant that the event was announced with trumpet blasts, as it happened immediately following the 2023 Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets. The event culminated with the ratifying of the Sustained Development Goals 2030 Agenda.
Every nation signed it, but the one whose really behind it didn’t need to. see link below, 13. The Scarlet Beast
14.8 The Deed, Glory to God
Unfortunately, this is its logo: The agenda was a powerful strengthening, for 7 more years, of a prior 7 year United Nations agreement. That’s why it garnered a lot of attention from watchers; Unfortunately, most of their videos have since been shunned by search engines. But, thank God, many can still be accessed from a list I made: See bottom of post 3. Midnight Cry Event. This event seems to have awakened some sleeping Christians from their slumber, because it seemed to be a perfectly match the Daniel 9:27 ‘agreement with many.’ That’s at least as it appears in most translations today, which are derived from the ‘Masoretic text’. It certainly did serve the purpose as major HEADS UP for those with ears to hear.
Why is its logo is offensive? . . . see post 8
Although counting from that day brings a large swath of the end time Biblical calendar together, as mentioned above, again, it’s still not the event that began the final week of years of this current age.
The first seal of the scroll of the Deed to the Earth, which God Almighty hands to His Precious Lamb, releases the white horseman carrying a bow with no arrow who sets forth to conquer.
14.10 The Deed, Glory to God
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, which if we count it to the first day of the final year, lands on March 24, 2030 AD (Torah calendar begins in Spring), overlaps with the very year that the SDG 2030 Agenda expires.
Although it’s not exact, the Olympic logo is reminiscent of a rainbow, and its outer rings are reminiscent of a bow.
14.11 The Deed, Glory to God
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 solitary purpose of reaching heaven without God.
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, Abaddon or Assur (the Assyrian principality) who are fallen angels, symbolized by the wings here.
Still skeptical? The inverted pentagram sphere, representing Earth being embraced by spiritual darkness, was the center peace for the Winter Olympics in Milan. They called it the cauldron.
14.12 The Deed, Glory to God
Point in case: The spirit of Antichrist is rising and it’s being openly celebrated.
The Second Seal -War Horse Rider
When Jesus Christ breaks the second seal, He releases the red horse, who’s rider is either an angel, like the horsemen in Zechariah 1, or a spirit of God being represented symbolically.(Zech. 6, describes 4 chariots being driven by many horses of the same colors or coats as those in Rev. 6. And they’re said to be ‘the four spirits of God’.)
The Rider of the Red Horse Carries a Sword and Removes Peace from Earth.
Since God’s prophesies are ultimately Jerusalem-centric we might consider the red horse when we examine the Hamas brutal attack on Israel that took place 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 watch mainstream news outlets. And it happened just 21 days after Yom Teruah/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.
14.13 The Deed, Glory to God
The Hamas massacre happened 21 days after Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets; But this is making it look like Jesus may have broken the second seal on Sept. 17 ’23, not the first seal. Which is it? Well, that wasn’t the first attack on Israel, since it became a nation again in 1948; And the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse are ultimately global, so let’s think it through.
On the Oct. 2, ’24 Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets, the UN Pact for the Future was signed by 193 nations, this time giving unprecedented power to the UN. (See posts 3, 5, 6 & 8.) It changed the UN from a cooperative entity to a governing entity and the atmosphere of the world changed completely.
Since then, extreme war threats have been escalating. Since Trump got into office on Jan. 20 ’25, after winning the election on Nov, 5 ’24, which was one month after Yom Teruah (Trumpets). Bombings and threats of nuclear bombings have become daily news. This is the bigger shift of ‘the removal of peace from Earth’. It can be argued that Israel has become even more central now on the world stage, as the screw has taken its first turn; The Russia Ukraine war gets less attention because the situation with oil has drastically increased world tensions; There are many nuclear threats; The nuclear code channels are full of traffic. All that’s why I think October 2 ’24 is more likely to have been the day Jesus Christ broke the second seal.
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 has been, in some ways, holding back the Beast System. That of course, is the United States.

God’s restraining power has been working through the USA to hold back the Beast System.
Only the United States of America has been holding back the World Bank Digital Currency
I’m not saying the motives were good, just that it happened. Perhaps Trump merely wants to set up the Beast’s monetary system himself, so that it’ll stem from the US, and America wasn’t ready then due to its former AI immaturity.
Trump Just Delayed the Beast System-But He Can’t Stop What’s Coming
The Luciferians, (most of the elite), seem to have been preparing someone that people will accept as ‘the Christ,’ who’ll actually be the spirit of Apollo, the son of Satan, in bodily form. Their modus operandi is to consistently do some very good things publicly, to gain trust, while they’re simultaneously pursuing their ultimate evil goal; On the other hand, they also flaunt some of their evil works, expecting people to overlook and/or tolerate them on account of their good works; They want to train people to habitually overlook those, to make excuses for them, so they can get away with more and more. In that way they lure the public into facilitating them in their/satan’s nefarious plan, the ultimate depths of which are carefully hidden. And they’ve long been infiltrating ‘Christianity’ in America and other parts of the world. Back to the main point: Who are they preparing as the antichrist? Well … D. Trump has installed images of Apollo all over the ceilings and the walls inside the White House. Just saying! But, I don’t think its him because he doesn’t have an empire. King Charles III also keeps images of Apollo and He’s the King of the Commonwealth Realms and he has converted to Islam, but refuses to bow. Who will sit in Almighty Gods temple declaring himself to be God? (see post 13.The Scarlet Beast)
14.17 The Deed, Glory to God
Update archive, late 2025: The US is likely to bomb Iran again. The latest international force is set to take over Gaza, with Trump requiring Israel to give back the part they’d conquered at great cost to themselves and which is still God’s land. So, I can’t say that America is really standing for Israel. There’s another agenda going on there. In fact, since America’s leading the non-Israeli control of that land: WOE to America. God will bring judgment.
January 23 ’26, Important Update:The Board of Peace was ratified at Davos.
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)
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 USA that’s been the most truly Christ following nation over the past 2.5 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 still the only powerful nation that stood strong for Israel.
Revelation’s Silence About America Isn’t an Accident—It’s a Prophetic Clue
Jesus Christ removes the Holy Spirit the restrainer in steps.
I think the Holy Spirit works to restrain the spiritual darkness on Earth largely through Christ’s body/church, but not exclusively:
The way in which the part of the Holy Spirit that resides in Christ’s bride and bridesmaids will effect the world when the part of Him that dwells in her is removed from Earth when she’s harvested will be disproportionately according to how the USA responds to the loss. When the true part of ‘the church’ is gone from the world, the Luciferian ‘false light’ will rapidly take over America.
About dispensations
Although I acknowledge that God Almighty has been using ‘dispensations’ ever since the Garden of Eden, contrary to the popular simplified model, I hold that God’s final set apart ‘week of years’, which was especially designated by God for the Jews to come to Christ, will actually begin before the great tribulation does. In other words, although the ‘final dispensation’ of this age is the 70th week of Daniel, the great and greatEST tribulations will only be loosed when Jesus Christ breaks the 4th and 6th seals of the scroll. I’m saying that the fourth horseman of the apocalypse IS the great tribulation (not to be confused with the greatEST tribulation/God’s wrath, which begins immediately after that). So, after the precious Lamb of God breaks the fourth seal, but before the ‘hour of trial’ that will come upon the whole Earth, King Jesus, the bridegroom, will harvest His bride !
Then . . . I expect that the great tribulation will last about a year, maybe less if it’s mostly nuclear. 1/4 of humanity will perish. (Rev. 6:8)
14.19 The Deed, Glory to God
The Fifth & Sixth Seals
After Jesus Christ breaks the fifth seal, (Rev. 6:9) St. John saw the souls of the martyrs of God’s barley harvest. They’d been killed during the great tribulation, and their spirit-souls were crying out for justice from under God Almighty’s alter; Then God responds immediately, as evidenced by Jesus Christ breaking the 6th seal: The 144,000 are quickly sealed followed by the tribulation saints being safely redeemed. St. Paul saw them in God’s throne room singing songs of praise to God with great joy, while waving fresh palm branches in the air. After that GOD’S WRATHbegins. There’s an ominous marker – a ‘half hour of silence’ in heaven, which is the prelude to God’s 7 Trumpet Wrath-Judgments!
Regarding the ‘hour of terrible trial’ that Jesus Christ will harvest His bride to protect her from, it could begin soon or immediately after or even simultaneous with the harvest: Time’s showing us that all this will occur be about two and a half years into Daniel’s 70th week; I think the 3rd temple will go up rapidly, shortly after that, possibly even as the great tribulation is occurring. According to my calculations, the greatest tribulation, which is God’s wrath, will begin on or near Oct. 1-3 ’27. It fits the timeline. The delay of Christ’s gathering of His bride is independent of and doesn’t alter the timeline of the events of God’s final ‘week of years’, which has primarily been assigned to the Jews as their last chance to get it right. See Daniel 9:24 and . . .
After all the saints of God’s Barley Harvest have been redeemed from Earth, so also will be the main part of the restrainer, as the Holy Spirit who indwells the saints will be gone.
Hold on to your heart dear brethren! I didn’t imply that the bride of Jesus Christ, who’ll be removed from the whole Earth, only comes from America!
I’m mainly saying that when Jesus Christ harvests His bride, that the greatest effect it will have on the world, will be: The US will no longer be able to hold back the Beast System. After the bride is removed, the USA will fall deeply into the Beast System and may even lead it.
Perhaps shocked and horrified, back-slidden or formerly nominal Christians, will make up a very large proportion of the Tribulation Saints; and the rest? Hopefully many people who never thought they’d in a million years become a follower of Jesus Christ will be among them. I used to be one of those. All Glory to Jesus Christ the miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness! Amen! Holy Holy Holy is the Lord!
But what about the Gleanings of God’s Barley Harvest? Who are they? I think those martyrs will be martyred almost instantly, after the great tribulation starts because without much, if any of God’s restraining power remaining on Earth, after the Holy Spirit departs with the bride of Christ, they’ll be immediately targeted by hosts of dark entities who’ll kill them if they resist. Since the martyrs are part of the Barley Harvest of saints, could they also be part of the bride or the bridesmaids of Christ? Who are they?
In Rev. 2 the church of Smyrna was not reprimanded for anything at all; yet Jesus told them they were going to be the martyr church type. He gave them some helpful instructions but He didn’t explain why they were chosen for that role. Perhaps He wanted to make the point that martyrs were not inferior. Here’s a clue; One of the reasons Jesus Christ promised to keep His Door Open to the Church of Philadelphia, the church that most Bereans today believe is His bride, was that she has ‘little strength’. My interpretation of this is that members of the Church of Philadelphia are the ones who have already been living their lives sacrificially for Him, not perfectly, but seriously; And that they will have already worn themselves out by doing so persistently under difficult conditions.
I think Jesus will use the barley harvest gleanings – the martyrs – to demonstrate the strength of their faith to the world just as it enters it’s darkest time; That alone will shine enough light to influence the Tribulation Saints to ‘wash their robes.’ The 144,000 sons of Jacob who’ll be sealed as first fruits of the wheat harvest, during the short time between when the martyrs die and the trib. saints are redeemed, may also be greatly encouraged by having witnessed such an enormous show of faith to the glory of Jesus Christ!
There’ve been many real historical foreshadowings of this ultimate episode of martyrdom, but there’s a huge silver lining that only applies to the end-time martyrs; For them it will be a very quick escape from the horrors while they’re beginning to gear up upon Earth.
Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown. (Rev. 2:10 – to the church of Smyrna)
14.21 The Deed, Glory to God
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.

The Third Seal black horse, food shortage rider
It’s nowhere written that when Jesus Christ breaks a seal, that the full force of it must happen instantly and simultaneously everywhere in the world, so it probably means that things have been loosed so they may begin to move in the direction of the prophesied outcome. See the quote below; It says ‘in various places.’ We need to be able to recognize when the third seal has been broken even if we ourselves can still afford food.
Matthew 24:7 “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.“
⛔LIVE ALERT⛔IMMEDIATE MILITARY OPERATION⛔STRAIGHT PASSAGE ENFORCEMENT⛔BIGGEST CHANGE IN HISTORY⛔
This has a lot to do with the nitrogen based fertilizer
It’s not been written that the seals must be broken at a rate of ‘one per year.’ The Sept. 23 ’25 Feast of Trumpets, as observed by the Orthodox Jews, was a very interesting day. For the first time since Israel became a nation again, 100 times trumpets were blown by them at the wailing wall! It was recorded live; I watched it. . .
And I was wondering why nothing extra special seemed to be happening, until I found out what was happening at the UN! That was the day Donald Trump snatched the unnamed UN Gaza Peace Plan right out of the hands of the whole world, and basically handed it Jared Kushner! They call it Trump’s peace plan for Gaza or The American Resolution. It’s based on the 20 point plan (which later became 21 points).
1 Corinthians 15:52 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. (Just to show how the KJV uses the word ‘trump’ instead of trumpet.)
Did Jesus Christ break a seal on that day?
June 25 oil reserves update: Got Word: Cushing Empty by Next Monday – June 22
The question is, did Jesus Christ break another seal on Sept. 23 ’25 AD, and if so which one.
Maybe. But before analyzing that, a warning: We need to be careful not to fall into a pattern of over-simplification. I say this because, sadly, it’s been happening so regularly in the churches that it’s become a major obstacle to truth. Why does this happens so much? It’s partly because true saints want people to be saved, so they try and try; But after having had so many repeated experiences of people fleeing when the Bible gets more than overtly ‘simple’, saints often over ‘bend over backwards’ to try to oversimplify it, removing the meat of it. That’s because in out hearts, we feel urgency; Out of love, we want to keep those we witness to from the eternal lake of fire. But multitudes of believers become stunted and never get past the ‘milk’ into the ‘meat’ of what it means to follow Jesus Christ. As witnesses with brief contact time, we may not have any other option. The greater problem is that, in America, when new ‘milk’ believers join a congregation, very very often, pastors just continue on and on with the milk; They consistently avoid following up with ‘hard truths.’ Now, I’m not saying that every believer needs to be an absolute Bible expert, just that they should at least hear enough in their own church to realize that there’s a whole lot that they don’t know! Simply realizing that they have a lot to learn should keep believers humble and may even support an interest in going deeper. But, instead, America has produced an overconfident generations of believers, who’ve embraced ‘easy believism’ which doesn’t cost them anything! Perhaps milk is better than nothing. God knows. But since there’s such a huge multitude of ‘easy believers,’ they’ve become like an army of offense toward anybody speaks truth beyond their slim comfort zones. So, in that way satan uses them to suppress the truth and oppress those who speak it. I’m concerned for them because since they don’t understand the temporary ‘real cost’ of following Christ, they’re not equipped for what’s coming. We try to warn these vacuous believers and are usually met with harsh resistance; Most of them will become apostate when conditions get tough, and they will betray other Christians.
14.25 The Deed, Glory to God
Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. At that time many (in the church) will fall sway and will betray one another. (Matt. 24 9-10)
Back to the timing pattern, but without the popular oversimplifications:
The most interesting metaphor Jesus Christ gave us about the timing pattern at the end of this age is: In Matthew 24:8 He describes it as like birth pangs; The signs come closer together and stronger as the birth draws near.
Therefore, I think it’d be highly negligent not to ask ourselves if Jesus Christ may’ve broken the 3rd seal, six months instead of a year after the 2nd seal, and therefore the 4th seal instead of the 3rd seal on Sept. 23 ’25 AD. It’d make sense since the USS Abraham Lincoln was sent on its mission to head to the Persian Gulf on Jan. 8 ’26.
14.26 The Deed, Glory to God
Rational:
If Jesus Christ uses a ‘one seal per year’ pattern to break the first 4 seals, there won’t be any time to get the ball rolling before the fourth horseman destroys 1/4th of humanity, because in that case the fourth horseman would be released on Sept. 11 ’26 which is 9/11, implying that nuclear bombs would go off instantly on that day. Okay maybe that model could work, but breaking a seal doesn’t mean everything has to happen on that day. The best estimate for the time that the Beast’s free reign will begin, according to my understanding, is no later than Oct. 1 of 2027; There has to be enough time for him to take control, rising out of the chaos of the great tribulation.
Which was the Yom Teruah (Trumpets) upon which Jesus broke the fourth seal?
Although very interesting, it makes little difference personally to the bride of Christ whether Jesus Christ broke the 4th seal in 2025 or will do so in 2026; As it’s already July 6 ’26 as I’m making this edit, and 9/11 is only 67 days away. If the birth pangs haven’t increased yet in frequency, then at that time they will. Between 9/11 ’26 and Oct. 1 ’27 the Barley Harvest gleanings (martyrs), the tribulation saints and the two witnesses all must rise to heaven, according to my best calculations. (There is leeway in my calculation since I counted the most relevant prophesy ‘to the day’ which is very elegant; But it’s actually only necessary to recon it to the year)
14.27 The Deed, Glory to God
That’s just enough time for the New World Order to snap into place. After the main nuclear events have been spent, the Antichrist will rise as the world’s solution. Israel will accept him as their Messiah and let down their defenses. Most likely on Oct. 1-2 ’27 AD, the false messiah will get empowered by satan in the abyss from which He’ll emerge with the power to kill the two witnesses, who’ve must already been on Earth for 2.5 yrs. as I write this, assuming no translation errors have been passed down to us. There are some good candidates, see post 15. They’ll be killed in Jerusalem soon after the 3rd temple goes up but immediately after the Beast/False Messiah comes out of the abyss, perhaps young again, with a new body made from a clone of himself, yet possessed by a terrible darkness.
Update July 7: Regarding Digital ID: Trump just confirmed that it’s going to be set up in America.
What he’s not telling us: The plan is to integrate it with AI, which can control the mind, even without implants by using the new G6 and G7 microwave technology. It’s the setup for the Beast system to snap into place very quickly once the Church has been redeemed by the Savior King Jesus Christ. The world will attribute our disappearance to the aliens. They’ll be given ‘credit.’ But the aliens are not benign extraterrestrials who want to help us; They’re fallen angels who want to destroy humanity. They’re deceivers who say they desire to help humanity ‘evolve’. And they’ll say that they had to remove the Christians because Christians would’ve prevented the necessary evolution from happening. The remaining leadership and media will blame Christ’s saints for every horrible thing that happens. Most people will be fooled, and the brainwashed people will integrate themselves more and more into tech and DNA alteration, losing their freewill; It will all be presented in such a seductive way as to appear intriguing to most people in the beginning; The whole truth will be hidden from the public; And whatever temporary apparently ‘good effects’ there will be for some, will corrupt and degrade. Daniel 2:23, “And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.” The decimated hybrids will become murderous and zombie-like . People will also take the mark of the beast rendering them no longer human. DNA corruption of humanity was the ultimate goal of the activities of the fallen angels before the flood , because of the protoevangelicum; All Jesus’ promises are good for real humans only.
14.28 The Deed, Glory to God
Yom Teruah, Isn’t the Only Time YHWH Prescribed Regular Trumpet Blowing in Torah.
What about the trumpet sounding pattern? Trumpets are also blown at other times of the year, most significantly on the first day of the first month on God’s calendar, which is of very special importance; It’s the true Rosh Hashanah (God’s head of the year in the Spring). It’s also the anniversary of the day God gave the calendar to Moses! Note: Immediately after the Great America Eclipse concluded, the true Rosh Hashanah began (Nisan 1 ’24 ADT.) and the 70th week of Daniel began! It fell 6 months between Jesus’ breaking of the 1st and the 2nd seals. This tell me that Jesus is using ‘half times.’ That’s a term God uses to delineate His ‘seasons’ of holy convocations, two per year. See post 4. The Countdown mark 4.30-4.31 & 4.33:https://alephtav.blog/4-last7yrs/
If God ‘s uses ‘half times’ for the breaking of the seals, then it’s likely that Jesus Christ broke the third seal releasing the Black Horseman, on ‘God’s Rosh Hashanah’ in the Spring of 2025, allowing the ball to start rolling toward ‘food shortages and famine’.
The Rider of the Black Horse of the 3rd seal, seems to be an angel or spirit bringing food shortages, along with famine, to various places.
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. (Matt. 24:7 NIV)

It’s difficult to describe all that, but:
The video below, although it’s about the destruction of Babylon the Great and not directly about the ‘great tribulation’, it captures part of its spirit, with a dramatic, artistic, musical rendition of a large scale destruction, followed by another artistic work, that’s on the brighter side, a short musical drama of the Lion of Judah rescuing the sheep fold by bringing her to the ark. (I guess I should mention that, maybe I’m blind, but I’m not fully convinced that ‘Babylon the Great’ is New York City, although I’m leaning in that direction. Yet, I appreciated the video, because I think America will be a huge target for destruction during the great tribulation, just for other reasons.)
Immediately after that Jesus Christ breaks the Fifth Seal. St. John was shown many martyrs under God Almighty’s throne in heaven. They were crying out for justice; Right after that, Jesus Christ broke the Sixth Seal; St. John saw the 144,000, from the 12 tribes of Israel receiving protective seals on their foreheads for their assignment to remain on Earth, (most likely on a mission to witness to the lost Jews). And after that, he saw the uncountable number of saints who’d ‘come out of’ the great tribulation who were standing and joyously singing songs of praise in God Almighty’s throne room, wearing pristine white linen while waving palm branches in the air.
It’s my opinion that Jesus Christ breaks the first four seals to allow forces of worldliness/lawlessness and their own consequences to proceed; That’s the first part of His end of the age judgements upon the world; What I mean is that they’re not the same as when God expresses His personal long accumulated wrath. That’s partially why I only call the last 3.5 years of Daniel’s 70th week, the 42 months in which the Beast is satanically possessed and is given free reign by God Almighty, The greatEST tribulation/The Time of Jacob’s Trouble/The Day of the Lord. In other words, the first four seals are broken in order to set the stage for the Beast system and to bring an uncountable number of people to their knees so they may call on the name of Jesus Christ to receive salvation.

The sixth seal is also the time when Jesus Christ gathers His greatest harvest of souls at the Wheat Harvest. They’re the main part of the body of Christ.
14.34 The Deed, Glory to God
In what order do things happen 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 high heavens by all the terrified unrepentant sinners on Earth as they experience a monumental earthquake combined with terrifying events in the cosmos. Then there’s a pause: 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 of God and before the Lamb, praising God with great holy joy in heaven!
WRATH – The 7th Seal Releases God’s 7 Trumpet Judgements
14.35 The Deed, Glory to God
This post was for the 7 Seals, but they lead right into the 7 Trumpets so here’s a quick synopsis of those:
Seemingly one right after another- the first four trumpets of the seven trumpets are directed against vegetation, water, marine animals, and the lights in the cosmos. But the fifth trumpet gets personal: The abyss is unlocked and opened. Demonic locusts with tails like scorpions come out and attack everyone 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 their bondage at the Euphrates river.
The Sixth Bowl: Euphrates Dried Up
Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. Rev. 16:12
Throughout the first six trumpets, the main Body of Christ was already gone, and nobody else on Earth repented!
Then, it Gets the Most Interesting!
There’s a large parenthetical section between Rev. 9 & 11, before the final trumpet:
This is the first mention of Jerusalem and the Temple in the Book of Revelation, and it’s full of important characters including the two-witnesses, the Beast when he comes up from the abyss, satan, the religious Jews and the gentiles.
14.36 The Deed, Glory to God
St. John’s transported, in the spirit, to the future. He measures the 3rd temple and he’s told about the two-witnesses, that they’ll minister to the world and that when they’re threatened, that with great Holy Spirit power, they’ll cause very harsh conditions to occur on Earth, similar to what Moses did with the plagues in Egypt, in order to be able to finish delivering their message. When they complete their witnessing, God will allow them to be murdered in the streets of Jerusalem by the Beast, after it emerges from the abyss; The world will celebrate, not allowing them to be buried. After 3.5 days, God will resurrect the bodies of the Two Witnesses and rapture them to heaven. Immediately after that, a great earthquake followings; A tenth of Jerusalem collapses killing 7,000; Then the people in Jerusalem become terrified and give Glory to the God of heaven!
Then many Jews will flee Jerusalem to the safe place God prepared for them. The only ones who’ll know about the safe place will be those who’ve read Jesus’ Olivet Discourse, so they must inform the rest very quickly, probably by contact lists on their devices. (The abomination of desolation setup begins right after the earthquake.)
When the Two Witnesses with their Holy Spirit powers are raptured, the temple of God becomes accessible to the Beast.
Prior to that, the Two Witnesses, must’ve held back all the attempts by the Antichrist/Beast to remove the regular sacrifices and libations in the temple: The Beast will want to remove them in order to make way for himself to sit in the Holy of Holies proclaiming himself to be God, and 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!
14.38 The Deed, Glory to God
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
14.38 The Deed, Glory to God
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.
If by now, the Antichrist hasn’t yet been revealed, it’s ripely time!
Is the ‘The Prince Who is to Come’, prophesied in Daniel 9:27 the Antichrist/Beast?
Watchers have been keeping their eyes peeled for ‘the prince who is to come.’ I think he might be the Antichrist/Beast, but I’m not sure. I have some reservations.
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.
14.39 Addendum The Deed, Glory to God
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. (2 Thess. 2: 1-4 BLB)
The ‘prince who is to come’ must be prophetically active years before the Antichrist sits in the temple, because the prince supports the building of the temple of God. So perhaps the key phrase, 2 Thess. 2, verse 4, is merely describing the ‘defining act’ that the Beast will perform, without intending to imply that absolutely no one will know who the man of perdition (antichrist) is, until the very moment he sits in the temple.
Many Jews will align with ‘the prince who is to come’ because he’ll facilitate the building of the 3rd temple and the return of the Old Covenant; Therefore, 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 will not come in God’s name but in his ‘own name.’ If they’re the same man, then any wide awake Christians who are still on Earth will realize he’s the Antichrist before he sits in the temple!
14.40 Addendum The Deed, Glory to God
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 had a lot of support in Israel and even 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. When I wrote this paragraph, Trump had already bombed Iran, pointed nukes toward Russia, captured a Russian oil tanker as well as the Venezuelan president, and now he’s threatening Mexico and Columbia. So that seems to be a problem, unless we assume we we’re already past the ‘white horse phase.’
Feb. 7 ’26 Archived Update: The USS Abraham Lincoln nuclear capable air craft carrier has moved near to Tehran. The talks in Oman and further talks have failed and news such as MSN headlines read: US Iran war: US nuclear warship to attack Iran any moment now? USS Abraham Lincoln moves near Tehran.
Predictive Programming
I don’t usually talk about predictive programming on this site; But, it was absolutely correct in predicting that the World Trade Center Towers would come down on 911;
There’s been a Feb. 8 ’26 programmed date, and it seems that on that day a portal that’s connected to a second 911, may have opened. Therefore, I’m providing the following explanatory link; It could be a trick or decoy, or it could be real again.
FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT – FINAL WARNING TO FEBRUARY 8, 2026 SUPER BOWL 60
More on the above predictive programming, of which I Pet Goat II is a core part:
The I Pet Goat II, predictive programming, written in 2012, seems to show the sinking of the USS Abraham Lincoln in what appears to be the Straight of Hormuz, and it was implying that Superbowl Feb. 8, ’26 had something to do with it. The pivotal scene showed a portal in the heavens, which was open with something coming out of it; Most decoders missed that part. (Super Bowl half time shows have long been the largest venue for occult rituals in the USA.) On Feb. 8 ’26, Lady Gaga, queen of the American occult, was there. She was interacting with ‘Bad Bunny’ who was dressed in white. The white rabbit is a huge occult symbol used in predictive programming and the Luciferian Masonic agenda. False Christians like Candice Owens refers to it openly in conjunction with the Pi pit. Turning Point is Masonic. In the scene that I’ve been describing, there’s what appears to be a nuclear mushroom cloud in the background of woman in mourning. She was covered completely in black and was floating on a shell-like raft in the sea while holding a dead boy with a ruined right eye. Her body language had Feb. 8 and 911 boldly coded into it. Her tears made a III on her forehead (WW3?) She held up a purple bottle of potion with a hidden ‘XX’ floating inside. That’s the simplest Free Masonic signature; It seems to show who’s behind it all. As her raft floats, the open top of her potion bottle comes into perfectly alignment with the pedestal of the mushroom explosion, at timestamp 3:14. 3:14 is pi. Pi is central to the entire Masonic, satanic cult which has most of the elite of the world in it’s grip. Pi, as used upside down by satan, representing the downward vortex – the rabbit hole of the abyss. see post 24.Mark of the Beast NO Chance of Salvation https://alephtav.blog/24-markbeast/ at mark 24.2-3.

Systematic destruction has been orchestrated in advance. Most presidents and other world leaders are puppets.The following is the core ideology of 33 degree Free Masons: They have the satanic delusion that if they destroy the world something good will come out of the ashes, which is the same delusion as that of the Hindu Shiva cult and other ‘destroyer idol’ cults such as the Zeus/Apollo cult, which is very active among the elite. The Luciferians have been carefully planning the near total destruction of Earth, which is why they’ve all built under ground bunkers for themselves. But they won’t escape. (Rev. 6)
It’ll probably be associated with a nuclear event and Jesus Christ’s raising up of His bride. The New World Order will snap into place, including the actions of the ‘prince who is to come’ who will catalyze the third temple of God to be built and the Antichrist to fully reveal himself (They’re could be the same person).
14.43 Addendum The Deed, Glory to God
Keep in mind that the true white horseman/false messiah may be in the background now, quietly and persistently, carefully and discretely positioning his chess pieces, manipulating Trump, or someone else to be the most visible person involved with many things including the temple rebuilding. If so, what if the New Sanhedrin already knows who he is; someone who has ancestral Messianic qualifications, in their eyes. It’s 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 and the AI generated videos of Netanyahu when he went missing in the third week of March.
Note: According to the corrupted Masoretic text (Theodotian based) which most Bibles are based upon, 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 Mosaic Covenant. There may be a document to sign, but details of his initial role aren’t given, not even after reading 4 translations in the Old Greek. (Which is only available in very few Septuagints translated to English.)
I’m not sure if even the true church of Christ will be able to figure out who ‘the prince who is to come’ is definitively. We’ll be gone soon. But, I wrote a major 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 of the Daniel 9:24 prophesy by a 2,000 yr. ‘gap’ or ‘time out’that was placed by God Almighty within the 69th and 70th weeks of the Daniel 9:24 prophesy.Most Christians call that 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 before the first year of Daniel’s 70th-Week begins.I think that’s over simplified, and that the Church Age will end when Christ gathers His bride, up to 30 lunar months into the final 7 years, immediately before the ‘great tribulation’ begins, but that ‘grace’ will extend until Jesus Christ gathers His grape harvest of Jews at the very end of the 7 years.
The Church Age ends sometime in the first half of the 70th week of Daniel, just before the massive death toll begins.
Jesus strongly implied He’d tarry. So the first half of the final 7 years is 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 her perseverance. There’s a whole lot of evidence that the final week has begun and that we’re deep into His tarry. And most importantly, and I can’t reiterate it enough, the Bible never, never, never says that the Church will be removed before Daniel’s 70th week! See post:
The main purpose of the final week-of-years before the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ:
Assigned by God, it’s for the bringing about of the consummation of His awesome plan! Daniel 9:24 is the part that describes the gap and what the Jews must do; It’s their last chance.
24 “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place. (Dan. 9:14 NIV)
Then, in Dan. 9: 25-26, Daniel describes the events of the Messiah’s first arrival and His being cut off, but only Daniel 9:27 describes the events that actually take place in the final week of years, the 70th week, beginning after the gap.
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.
14.46 Addendum The Deed, Glory to God
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.
The final 7 years don’t have to begin exactly with the agreement . . .
To keep it short, no one should use the Masoretic Daniel 9:27 passage as the main foundation piece upon which to put together all the other pieces of the end times prophetic puzzle, especially without even realizing it has no source manuscripts and is quite different than the Old Greek, which has source manuscripts!
It’s extremely likely, in my opinion, that the seven year countdown has already begun. I’ve done extensive research, although I’m not dogmatic about it I find it difficult to talk about it with other believers, as the majority of them are so certain that the final 7 years can’t start until Jesus takes His bride that they’re unable to discuss other possibilities.
But the Bible simply never says that; It only says that He’ll keep the door (Himself) open for the Church of Philadelphia to keep her from the hour of trial that’s going to come upon the whole world. (Rev. 3:8) Only the HOUR!
Bible educated brethren, can only point to the throne room scene as their evidence, because the 24 elders were seen to be there by St. John, prior to when Jesus Christ took the scroll from the hand of God the Father. I understand and sympathize with the desire for us to believe that the 24 elders represent the true church/bride of Christ in order that we may envision ourselves safely in God’s throne room before the final 7 years begin; And that desire is understandably especially strong for those who think that the great tribulation is the same thing as the greatest tribulation, God’s wrath, which comes next!
14.48 Addendum The Deed, Glory to God
But the Bible never directly reveals who the 24 elders are! I studied this part very deeply. It was painfully difficult to resolve. I went through every single possibility, and each one appeared to be correct as long as I consumed media produced by someone supporting that view. And now it’s gotten worse, with AI scenery, dramatic music and artificially authoritative voices that draw people in, a seduction to a viewpoint, but without offering careful, meticulous or true references. Thinking all this through with Bible passages, I found fatal errors in every established viewpoint. . . . This went on and on for up to a year maybe, altogether.
But, during that time I gradually began to study the deeper meaning of the lamp stands. It was so deep that I became cautious, realizing it was very important territory. I put it away for awhile, but it had already enlightened me enough to really see something: Jesus walked among the 7 lamp stands in Rev. 1, which are the seven church types; He gave His progress report to each of those seven types, and just 8 verses later St. John saw the Lamb of God in Almighty’s throne room surrounded by 7 blazing torches (Rev. 5). Then the Lamb of God appeared in the middle of God’s throne. I can no longer act like all that means nothing, that suddenly there’s no connection between the 7 lamp stands that are Christ’s 7 churches types, and the 7 lamp stands in God’s throne room in front of God’s throne in the center of which Christ stands as the Lamb of God who died for His church! His church is represented in a 7 fold way as the 7 types! Why are they’re rarely even mentioned in throne room discussions? They’re us. Can’t we recognize ourselves? For a deep study-seemark 10.16-10.21 in . . .
Assuming the 24 elders are the bride, forces the entire time line to conform not only to Jesus having broken no seals yet, when world events are showing something very different; But also, the timeline, which is built on solid prophesies with precise end dates would have to be severed, twisted and squashed to accommodate that view, to the point where God’s Torah calendar wouldn’t even work!
I appreciate and genuinely love the watchers who’ve made monumental efforts with alternate calendars.
But some of the timelines end up delaying the 7th week of Daniel, making it appear that time might allow the bride to be raptured before it begins. Many believers who strongly hope there’s a ‘rapture before the final 7 years’ think that ‘dispensations’ make their hope certain. I agree that God has instituted dispensations, but there are some overlaps happening now that we’re at the tail end; Most Christians embrace a simplified view. But, as for me, I love God’s calendar It’s the only calendar in the Bible. And everything seems to be turning out perfectly on it. see:
Through extraordinary pressure, like a crucible, a 1/3 remnant of the Jews will be saved.
3 groups will survive the Day of the Lord/Time of Jacob’s Trouble.
There’s also a group raised from the dead. (Dan. 12:2)
First an introduction: Then I’ll go over these three groups again below, with more detail.
Starting with the most rebellious group:
The final group of Jews is the one that rebels until the very last instant, after all individuals of the Good Grape Harvest of Jews have been taken or martyred, and are all in God’s Heaven.
Although still considered to be of the ‘elect’ this extremely rebellious group will have missed their chance to attend the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in God’s Heaven; They’ll not be killed but will instead be ‘translated’ directly into the Millennial Kingdom, because they finally call upon the name of the Lord, Jesus the Christ or Yeshua ha Mashiach. Sadly, they’ll miss out on meeting our Holy Heavenly Father, but they’ll be blessed to receive greatly extended life spans. They won’t receive glorified immortal bodies, but they’ll reproduce for up to 1,000 years while living in the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
Introducing the other two groups of Jews on Earth who’ll be saved:
Both these groups are of the Fruit orGood Grape Harvest. As I understand it, they’ll receive lives of eternal love from Jesus Christ, starting with being taken to heaven to meet God Almighty and will be greatly blessed to be invited to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb as ‘bridesmaids.’ And they’ll receive glorified immortal bodies right away.
This is what the Lord says: “As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it, there is still a blessing in it,’ so will I do in behalf of my servants; I will not destroy them all. I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and from Judah those who will possess my mountains. (Isaiah 65:8-9)
I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. (John 15:5-6)
Most of the Jews will be saved through desperate repentance under extremetribulation. At last, many will reach out to Jesus as their Messiah, and as God the Son, with terrible, deep, heart wrenching sorrow.
These will mostly be from among the Jews living in Israel during the beginning of the greatesttribulation of all time. Hopefully a great many of those will follow Jesus their Messiah’s instructions, given in Matt. 24:21 to flee to the mountains when they see the abomination of desolation being set up in the holy place .
Jews living in other places will probably see the A.O.D. on their devices.
Those in Judah will be under greater pressure to take the Mark of the Beast or be martyred. Not every Son of Jacob who flees to the mountains will necessarily be a newbeliever; Some might follow the group just because they see others fleeing. Hopefully many of those will get saved once they get there.
Christians have long been stuffing the cracks of the caves and dugout buildings of Bozrah/Petra full of Bibles in preparation for the coming 1,260 days that the Jews will soon be spending there.
1,260 days after the A.O.D.’s first appearance, Jesus Christ will send His angels to gather believers from the mountain safe place that He prepared for them, and presumably from wherever else in the world they’ll be hiding. They are all the owner’s portion of Jesus’ Good Grape Harvest.
19.3 Jews, Glory God Beyond
Bozrah/Petra in the Jordan Valley is most likely the safe place although some scholars think it’s in Sinai.
The group of Jews that obey Jesus Christ’s instructions to flee to the mountains must be from the group described in Rev. 11, those who turn and give God glory, after seeing the Two Witnesses resurrected and raptured, and the great earthquake that destroys ten percent of Jerusalem killing 7,000 people.
The final part of the Good Grape Harvest, the gleanings, consists of most of the rest of the newly believing Jews, the ones who will not have fled to the refuge fast enough. They’ll be martyred. Since they’ve all become saints, Jews from the last two groups will be taken to heaven, to meet our Heavenly Holy Father and to take part in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
The reason I think they’ll not have missed that ‘once in an eternity’ opportunity is because the Wedding Supper is described in the Book of Revelation, five chapters after Jesus Christ harvests His owner’s portion of the ‘good grapes.’
19.4 Jews, Glory God Beyond
All harvests of the Jews begin after the 7th judgment trumpet is blown:
The seventh angel sounded his trumpet,
and there were loud voices in heaven,
which said:
“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.”
Rev. 11:15
As mentioned at the top of this post, there are also Jews in Judah who won’t flee to the mountains or be martyred.
After the A.O.D. is set up, this group still tries to rely on their own strength and any other methods including calling upon the true Almighty God, but without acknowledging the name of God’s Son, their Messiah. Passages in Zechariah and Romans support this. They won’t call out to Jesus Christ until about one second before they will have been utterly annihilated. In other words, only at: Satan’s ultimate showdown, a breathing fire down your throat moment, will they finally call upon the name of their true Messiah.
19.5 Jews, Glory God Beyond
Jesus Christ the Glorious Worthy Savior
The very instant they call upon their glorious Savior King, in any language, the horrible reality from beyond anyone’s worst nightmare vanishes – in a flash! So instantaneously will it vanish, that they might actually wonder if it was all just a dream! Yet, Jesus Christ their Savior Messiah King will be right there in front of them, elevated on His supernatural white horse wearing a spectacular blood stained white garment; He’ll Be In ALL His Glory! And He’ll be backed up by His myriads and myriads of holy angels and all the holy saints wearing pristine white linen while riding supernatural horses that gallop on air!
Climax
The climactic moment!
19.6 Jews, Glory God Beyond
As soon as these Jews call on His name the sky literally splits open and everybody on Earth sees the Glory of Jesus Christ and His people, His Kingdom and His spectacular angelic host. The double edged sword comes out of His mouth; He speaks the WORD of truth for all His enemies on Earth to hear. Unable to bear the truth, most of his enemies will drop dead on the spot – defeated – by perceiving themselves – where they actually stand – in the severity of God Almighty’s Holy Light, by His standard of perfection, in the Glory of Truth in Jesus Christ’s name!
By the time the above final Armageddon event will have happened, there will have already been other appearances of Jesus Christ within the final 7 years, such as at the sixth seal, when even the throne of God the Father is glimpsed by everyone, and at the main harvest of the Jews, just a month before Armageddon. There’s even a time when Jesus Christ will actually set foot upon Earth, although not appearing to very many! Yes, the Bible says He’ll descend into Egypt and make His way up through the Jordan Valley to shed the blood of Edom, Moab and Ammon. That part He did completely alone! That’s why His garments will already be stained red when He arrives with the saints and angels at Armageddon.
19.7 Jews, Glory God Beyond
Three Harvests, each with three parts:
First Fruits of the Barley Harvest could also be the captives Jesus removed from Hades, the ‘Bosom of Abraham’, when He “took captivity captive” (Eph. 6:8).
My interpretation of the two harvests of Rev. 14, is that only the second is the grapes of wrath.
19.8 Jews, Glory God Beyond
The 10 Lost Tribes
Abraham – Issac – Jacob – Joseph – Ephraim
The 10 Northern Tribes, who became lost, were called ‘Ephraim‘ because Ephraim was the largest and most dominant of those tribes. Ephraim, the grandson of Jacob, was the second son of Joseph.
Jacob loved Joseph more than his other sons because he was born of Rachael his beloved chosen wife. (Remember ‘Leah,’ Rachel’s sister, was forced upon him by their father ‘Laban’.) All of Joseph’s brothers became so jealous that they sold Joseph to traveling merchants, who dragged Joseph to Egypt. In Egypt, Joseph was mistreated and imprisoned for two years, but was released in the third year. He eventually rose to become the right hand man of Pharaoh!
Joseph’s role is crucial! He’s the foreshadowing of the ultimate suffering servant, Jesus Christ, as He was revealed in His first coming. Joseph’s role embodied the ‘forgiving spirit’ and humility, which he maintained even after his rise to be the right hand of Pharaoh, who was the King of kings of middle Earth at that time. The parallel is that Jesus ascended to the highest heaven and sat on the throne at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. But there’s another interesting parallel, one which is often overlooked; Both have a gentile (or mostly gentile) wife!
19.9 Jews, Glory God Beyond
Association with Gentiles Continues on with Joseph’s Future Descendants through Ephraim:
Hosea 7:8 “Ephraim mixes with the nations.”
Genesis 48:19 “. . . his younger brother (Ephraim) will be greater than he, and his descendants will become a group of nations.”
Hosea 9:17, “My God will reject them because they’ve not obeyed him – they (Ephraim) will be wanderers among the nations.”
Thus began the epic saga of the Sons of Jacob: Egypt – Exodus – Wilderness – Marriage covenant with God Almighty – Promised Land – Rebellion – Judges – Kings – Division – Divorce – Lost – Return!
Presumably, in modern day Israel, there’s a notable element of descendants from of the Northern Tribes that now just call themselves Jews, because in the 722 BC exile, at least some Israelites from most of the 10 Northern Tribes, escaped the Assyrian exile by taking refuge in Judah. Also, some rejoined the Jews in Babylon.
19.10 Jews, Glory God Beyond
The tribe of ‘Dan’ may be the exception. They may have truly vanished from Earth, as they did not stick to their land inheritance. In their wanderings, they were drawn to the foot of Mt. Hermon, the top of which is thought to be the location of the portals that the fallen angels used to come to Earth and corrupt human DNA. In the first century, the foot of that area was within Caesarea Philippi and was commonly called the Gates of Hades (hell).
When Jesus and Peter were standing there, Jesus said:
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. (Matt. 16:18-19)
Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah. Notice there is no tribe of Dan included in the 144,000. (Rev. 7: 5-8)
Even the UN knows about the fallen angel portals. That’s why they have an off limits station up top, a topic for another post! Israel just got control of it. (See link at the bottom of 28.Lucifer Impostor.)
19.11 Jews, Glory God Beyond
A note on the word ‘elect’:
When the word elect is used surrounding the events of the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, . . .
. . . it can be misunderstood by Christians who assume that the term ‘elect’ always only refers to church saints. As a result, many of them are forced to conclude that even the bride of Christ will be present on Earth when God’s expresses His final accumulated and long restrained wrath toward human kind, in the form of severe judgments upon the whole planet, which will be worse than the Nazi holocaust, not only for the Jews, but for everyone!
The Old Testament, as well the New Testament, at times, uses the term ‘elect’ to refer to certain Sons of Jacob. The Day of the Lord is specifically called The Time of Jacob’s Trouble because it’s deeper purpose is to fully bring into fruition the promises God made to Abraham. To fulfill those promises, God always intended that the biological Sons of Jacob would also ‘overcome the world’ by calling on the name of Jesus Christ; It was never just about the grafted on gentiles. Even those Sons of Jacob who cry out at the last second will be called ‘elect.’ I believe they will be counted among the sheep, as that is the only group left.
Matt. 34 “Then the King will say to those on His right (sheep), ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
The Old Testament’s full of warnings to the Israelites and Jews about the Time of Jacob’s Trouble. It’s of the utmost importance to God the Father, who created everything for and through His Son the WORD, to bring a remnant of all the remaining tribes of the Sons of Jacob into His promised Kingdom, as it will manifest here on a temporarily revived version of this Earth. God promised that it’ll be ruled by a descendant of Judah through the line of David, but not through Solomon, because Solomon turned to Baal, the worst form of idol worship.

More Specifics about the Good Grape Harvest of the Jews:
According to Torah Law, the first fruits of any harvest must be presented to God Almighty before the owner of the field can harvest his portion.

Here’s a related passage from the Old Testament, Daniel 12:2 “sometime after the archangel Michael wars against Satan in heaven, many of Daniel’s people (Sons of Jacob) who sleep in the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt”
As for the part about the Jews who’ll awaken to everlasting shame, I’m assuming Daniel’s vision used ‘condensed time,’ for a forward glimpse at the Great White Throne Judgment, because those coming to shame and everlasting contempt will not be resurrected until the completion of the Millennium.
We can check the harvest chart above: The owner’s portion of the Fruit or Good Grape Harvest doesn’t take place until Rev. 14. Since the first fruits of the Good Grape Harvest must have happened before that, it fits that those who slept in the earth and will awake to everlasting life, mentioned in both Rev. 12 and Daniel 12:2, are in fact the first fruits of the grape harvest.

Remembering the Gleanings
Since using the three harvest model, those who I used to call the ‘last martyrs,’ although they literally are the last martyrs, are more appropriately called the gleanings of the Good Grape Harvest.
But, are 100% of the gleanings of the Good Grape Harvest Jews?
I deduce ‘no’, using the following rational: About 30% of the people included in the ‘Hall of Faith’ of Hebrews 11, are not sons-of-Jacob, nevertheless some of those are very likely to be among the 24 elders: Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah and Rahab; also Deborah and Job. So, likewise, there could be a number of gentiles who’ll be among the last martyrs who follow the Jewish Messiah and refuse the Mark-of-the-Beast at the latter part of the Day of the Time of Jacob’s Trouble. So they must be harvested as part of the gleanings of the Good Grape Harvest. The last gentile martyrs, even though they’re not part of the church, because the church isn’t appointed to God’s wrath, they will nevertheless be true Israelites by faith. They’re grafted onto the Olive Tree of Israel through that faith, and will have to prove it by their martyrdom. (That’s the final upward harvest.) The predominately Jewish nature of the last martyrs is demonstrated by the songs they sing in heaven: The Song of Moses, but also the Song of the Lamb! The following is a glimpse of them in heaven:
19.15 Jews, Glory God Beyond
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Revelation 15:2-3
The Important Event That Sets off the Entire ‘Good Grape Harvest.’
The Two Witnesses
.
Their
Death
and
Resurrection
19.16 Jews, Glory God Beyond
Although this section is a bit out of order because the Two Witnesses, as the gleanings of the Wheat Harvest, are resurrected and raptured right before the first-fruits of the Good Grape Harvest, which I already described, I still need to write about them here:
After the events of the ‘sixth trumpet’ are completed. There is a pause in the trumpets;
St. John eats the scroll given to him by an awesome angel of God.
Then St. John finds himself transported to a future time where he’s told to measure the temple of God. After that an angel tells him about the Two Witnesses, stating that they’re ‘the two olive trees and the two lamp stands’. The angel gives St. John more information about them: That they’ll be given great powers, as great as the powers Moses and Elijah had, and that they’ll use those powers when they’re threatened, which will make the world hate them. The angel explained that they’ll be killed by the Beast when they finish their 1,260 day testimony. The angel explained that it will happen after the Beast ascends from the abyss, and that the two witnesses will lay in a Jerusalem street for 3 1/2 days, while the world celebrates. The angel explained that the two witnesses will be resurrected and raptured 3.5 days later in front of a great multitude of observers who will hear God voice say “Come up here!” They will ascending in a cloud, just like Jesus had done 2,000 yrs prior.
19.17 Jews, Glory God Beyond
See Chart: It might seem strange that the Two Witnesses are the gleanings of the multinational Wheat Harvest, since we’ve been focusing on the Hebrew Israelites in this post. But, there’s not a single part of any harvest, that I know of, that doesn’t contain some of the Sons-of-Jacob/Hebrew-Israelites and/or Jews!
The Turning Point, a summary:
Immediately after the Two Witnesses are resurrected, a severe earthquake will destroy a tenth of Jerusalem, which will kill 7,000 people. This particular cluster of events will finally provoke many, especially the eye witnesses in Jerusalem, to terror, which is what will cause a great number to turn to the one True Almighty God in the name of His Precious Son, Jesus Christ! So, at last, at last they’ll give Him the righteous glory, in Jesus Christ’s name, the glory that only He deserves. They’ll acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Messiah; He’s the shine on God our Father’s glory. Jesus Christ the Holy One, with no shadow to be found within Him, will receive the worship that only He deserves! HALLELUJAH!
Death could not hold Him! He’s the exact likeness of God in the flesh. He was and is forever sinless! Anybody who apprehends this fact, who believes in Him and continues to have faith until the end will be covered by His Holy blood; They will appear completely justified in the eyes of our Holy Heavenly Father.
They’ll be exempted from the second death and will be adopted into His Holy family to be loved and made prefect for ever and ever.
The Suffering and Glory of the Servant
See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. Just as there were many who were appalled at him—his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness— so he will sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him.
Isaiah 53 1-12
Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities.Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.
. . . He raised Christ from death and let him sit at his right side in heaven. (Eph. 1:20)
All glory to the True Living God, who created this magnificent universe through the living WORD, who is Jesus Christ our ever-loving Savior. His glory shines through even though His creation’s been corrupted by satan, fallen angels, the Nephilim and humanity.
Until then we fight – spiritual warfare.
Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual powers in the heavenly realms. (Ephesians 6)
Glory to our Almighty Holy Heavenly Father, in the name of His Son Jesus Christ who is the Living Word through whom He spoke the universe in to existence. And He is the promised Messiah of Israel who will save the whole world. He’s our Lord and Savior, who took our sins upon Himself and absorbed the just wrath of our Holy Father, on account of our sins . . . unto unspeakable suffering . . . unto to death. And even worse than that, there was a small fraction of time when He had to be separated from His Father God.

One of my favorite songs:
Charity Gayle – Thank You Jesus for the Blood (Live)
We’ll see Him intimately, face to face, and will feel safe. He’ll live among us and we’ll experience His glorious light and love forever and ever in the new heavens and the new Earth that He’s going to create right after the Millennium.

We’ll see the Glory of our Holy Father, our Creator, who breathed life into us.
THE BRIDE of CHRIST
In Jesus Christ, God Himself suffered for us and died in our place. He covered our sins with His Holy Blood. There’s no greater love! He asks for us to love Him back, to consume Him (His word), and to also love and to forgive each other in this life, leaving all vengeance to Him. He will vindicate righteously.

Final reminder:
Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.
