“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
Watch.0 Glory of God
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.
. . . not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you 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-of-years. (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, is 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, so that they will 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 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:
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.

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 His Olivet Discourse, Jesus tells us 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 , shaped like an 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.
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.
Watch.29 Glory of God
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.)

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 Targeting “The Gospel”. Big Data, Fallen , Connectivity. War With The Saints
Habsora is the name of Israel’s most powerful 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
‘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 ‘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, it’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 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 sense to me 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.
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 all 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 broke the first seals of the scroll, The Deed to the Earth, that He’s was 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 the 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 wrote 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 its prophesy to keep awake for our Lord and Savior’s arrival, any time from Purim Mar. 14, 2025 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 it.
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 more than one part, the second of which started from the 2025 Pentecost/Shavuot date, which is the Biblical for 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 (Iran).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 by His blood 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 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.

New 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.

. . . just one part of multiple harvests of the saints . . .
1.12 DOOR, Glory of God
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, could possibly even 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 were 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 was actually the Barley Harvest bride of Christ’s year; If so we jumped the gun by a year! But I don’t think so because of how it all fell together perfectly with the two dates for Hanukkah (see below). The second Hanukkah fell in sync with more signs – which landed on many stepping stones – never disappointing us in that way. Halleluyah!
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. . .

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 ‘a pre-tarry target day’ for Christ to rapture His barley harvest bride, then we’re now deep into Jesus Christ’s tarry. About what I mentioned above, that His tarry may have more than one part, 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.

A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN? HANUKKAH MENORAH IN THE SCHUMANN RESONANCE
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, but 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 may support 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, if I’m right and 1/21/26 was the calendrically correct Hanukkah observance this year, then it will have represented Sarah and/or Ester, the New Covenant faithful bride; Christ’s bride wouldn’t have observed it as a physical gathering of believers or with lighting candles at home. I think it would have been observed spiritually, by those who had understanding that the bride had become mature enough to have been dedicated by Christ Himself. The point was not that all 7 churches hadn’t been on fire for the Lord before. The concept of her maturity is different, especially so since we’re at the time of the end, as this is the very last part of His bride to reach maturity, the largest group, the only group to be dedicated in this way and the only group who will experience being raptured by the Son of God Himself! I believe this last group of Christ’s bride came to full simultaneous blazes in the Fall of 2023, because that’s when the Lamb of God broke the first seal of the Deed to the Earth (in my opinion).
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 leap year 2025 AD Barley Harvest may’ve been the one that marked the beginning of the maturity of the final group of Christ’s bride, and we recognize that we’re running out of time and that we’re already well into Daniel’s 70th week; And if we see that the prophetic end dates are continuously falling into place; Then we will probably consider this Hanukkah to be very significant because it’s about the ‘living temple’ which is the penultimate expression of God the Father’s relationship with His adopted children. The meaningfulness of such of an unheard of thing can only be surpassed when we get to 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, being mature and being completely ready for Christ to harvest us are not all necessarily the same thing.
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 their full maturity! It’s important to mention, because this post has mainly focused on a one month delayed maturity of Christ’s 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.

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.)

Maturity of the bride is not the same as ‘readiness’; Christ needs to be ready too. It’s a good time for those of us who’re capable, to witness with more courage and love someone more, to push the envelope to glorify Christ, to support and edify our brethren, also to pass out Bibles and help and witness to the poor.
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead He’s 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 boxes with 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!

The Feast of Trumpets sounds the alarm but there could have been even higher watch days that the alarm was pointing to: There’s the 9/21 high watch ‘day’ Yom Kippur/The Day of Atonement, especially if this is a Jubilee year see below, but the last trumpet of this year’s Fall season of God’s holy convocations falls on Shemini Atzeret on Oct. 2,3 or 4 or id 2026 is delayed due to a previous leap year then these things will occur in November see below
These appointed times have passed for October, but I’m leaving the rational; here because it will all simply be a month delayed. God’s has given us a stepping stone that pointed to the earlier date; but He’s been doing for years for all the high watches! it just shows that Jesus Christ is the word and he is written into the fabric of reality itself. The stepping stones are exciting to discover and they teach us in a way in which we can’t be taught just by reading without watching:
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.
Proverbs 25:2
There are 233 days from Jan. 21 to Sept. 11 2026 in the usual way of counting, but if we just count just the days in between then there are 233 days between Jan. 21 to Sept. 12 ’26.
1.26.5 DOOR, Glory of God
WOW Check this out!
In Strongs Greek, 233 is ‘salt’.
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. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 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. 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: 13-16)
That amazing passage ties the light that we hold up and shine (represented by 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!
Matthew verse 16 mentions that Christ’s followers let their light shine: Jan. 21st stands for the final light, the one that makes it complete. It’s the day the 7th lamp of the temple menorah is lit. Our bodies are that living temple. So, if I’m right it means Christ’s true church became fully lit on that day because to God, 7 means completion. To God ‘8’ means eternity. And the 8th candle represents our eternity with Jesus which will begin after the final part of His tarry.
Yes! I think that’s it! But I said above that there’s an end date that can also be beautifully calculated from the Rabbinical Hanukkah date . . . Well, it’s the same end date: 9/11 ’26 AD, but it is a 110 day count from the Rabbinical Dec. 21 ’25 Hanukkah. This is the same 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.

A Yom Kippur or Sukkot rapture in Fall of 2026?
A Sept. 19 ’26 update -The overwhelming evidence shows that the 911 signis real, although now it seems likely that it may have been pointing to Yom Kippur, one that starts a Jubilee Year, could itself indirectly point to what’s called ‘the last great day’, Shemini Atzeret, which is a likely day for Jesus Christ to gather His bride, therapture.
Sukkot has the greatest harvest symbolism, but I’ll talk about Yom Kippur first. It’s more serious for the Jews, and it triggered an interesting study on whether or not 2026 could be a Jubilee year. The study got a bit long for this post so I moved it here: Yom Kippur Trumpet and is 2026 a Jubilee year?https://alephtav.blog/is-2026-a-jubilee-year/ The conclusion was yes there’s ample support for the Fall of 2026 to be the start of a Jubilee Year!
Yom Teruah (Trumpets) and Yom Kippur are attached as the Yom Teruah trumpets set off what’s called the 10 Days of Awe, the preparation for the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). That’s what the trumpets do – they point to things, that will happen soon. That will hopefully including the spectacular harvest of the bride of Christ this year-2026AD. The Ten Days of Awe are dedicated to introspection, repentance, and seeking forgiveness from others, as well as from God. After that, the five days until Sukkot are the transition when after having been forgiven for one more year, they begin to recover from their very deep and serious soul searching and begin to focus on the greatest harvest of the year; Then the entire nation gathers outside for 7+1 days (the extra day is mysterious but is said to be for lingering in joy) in huts -multitudes of home made huts -as they all feast under the stars knowing that they are reconciled with God, and in that way they are tabernacling with God.

Watchers are always trying to understand what exactly God meant by the last trumpet! Although the next section examines the ‘+1’ day of Sukkot (Shemini Atzeret) for the last trumpet of the year, and we found out that Torah did indeed prescribe the final trumpet of the holy year to be blown then, over a sacrifice; The Jews won’t start making sacrifices again until the 3rd temple’s built. Since the temple in heaven is still there and since the earthly temple was merely a reflection if it, we may wonder if the angels still blast a trumpet on that day to keep time for the missing sacrifices. Could the gathering of the saints – each one of which had died to their own will in order to live for God’s will, be considered as a sacrificial offering? When Jesus brought the 24 elders, who He released from captivity in Hades, up to to His Father God Almighty in heaven as the First Fruits of the Barley Harvest of Saints, it was considered to be an essential offering to God. In Leviticus 23:36, no specific time for the sacrificial offering is mentioned so conceivably, Jesus could rapture His bride at the very end of its 8th day meaning that its trumpet blow would also be saved to the end and would be the ‘trump of God’.
As described in pretty good detail at the bottom of this post, Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles is the greatest harvest feast. It spans 8 days (7 + 1). Jesus Christ may harvest His bride on Shemini Atzeret, the +1 day, also called the the 8th day.

There’s supposed to be a trumpet blow over a sacrifice on Shemini Atzeret, which is the literal last appointed trumpet blow of God’s yearly appointed times. But, without animal sacrifices happening in Jerusalem now, I think the bride herself could be the sacrifice in the sense that all saints who make up Christ’s bride have already died to themselves, their own will and have come to live only for Jesus Christ. Christ’s bride is eager and waiting to divorce this world as it currently exists in its current wicked culture; And we also welcome the rapid transformation of these sinful dying bodies, so in a way we could say that we sacrifice them also, as the old body must die as it becomes an immortal glorified body without sin nature; It will happen faster than the twinkling of an eye.

Noah’s ark
Another very high watch overlaps with the delayed year Sukkot dates shown above; We should watch Oct. 28-29 as Cheshvan 17th! But, Oct. 28-29 is not based on 2026 having been a delayed year and thus isn’t directly related to Sukkot.
The high watch based on the Noah’s Ark day of the flood . . .
. . . is the 17th day of the second month, which is called Cheshvan or Heshvan. (It’s based on the pre-Torah calendar when the year supposedly began at the start of the Fall season.) Now that’s only in the Masoretic text of the Old Testament, not the Septuagint which says it’s the 27th day of the second month. That’d probably land on Nov. 7 ’26). I don’t know which translation is correct; We’re just watching Oct. 28-29 first. There is a lot going on in the world right now regarding Noah; The signs are huge!

A seed must die before it can sprout from the ground. 37 Wheat seeds and all other seeds look different from the sprouts that come up. 38 This is because God gives everything the kind of body he wants it to have. 39 People, animals, birds, and fish are each made of flesh, but none of them are alike. 40 Everything in the heavens has a body, and so does everything on earth. But each one is very different from all the others. 41 The sun isn’t like the moon, the moon isn’t like the stars, and each star is different.
42 That’s how it will be when our bodies are raised to life. These bodies will die, but the bodies that are raised will live forever. 43 These ugly and weak bodies will become beautiful and strong. 44 As surely as there are physical bodies, there are spiritual bodies. And our physical bodies will be changed into spiritual bodies.
45 The first man was named Adam, and the Scriptures tell us that he was a living person. But Jesus, who may be called the last Adam, is a life-giving spirit. 46 We see that the one with a spiritual body did not come first. He came after the one who had a physical body. 47 The first man was made from the dust of the earth, but the second man came from heaven. 48 Everyone on earth has a body like the body of the one who was made from the dust of the earth. And everyone in heaven has a body like the body of the one who came from heaven. 49 Just as we are like the one who was made out of earth, we will be like the one who came from heaven.
50 My friends, I want you to know that our bodies of flesh and blood will decay. This means they cannot share in God’s kingdom, which lasts forever. 51 I will explain a mystery to you. Not every one of us will die, but we will all be changed. 52 It will happen suddenly, quicker than the blink of an eye. At the sound of the last trumpet the dead will be raised. We will all be changed, so we will never die again. 53 Our dead and decaying bodies will be changed into bodies that won’t die or decay. 54 The bodies we now have are weak and can die. But they will be changed into bodies that are eternal. Then the Scriptures will come true,
“Death has lost the battle! 55 Where is its victory? Where is its sting?”

Below is just a research clarification, since there’s a lot of misinformation out there:
Are trumpets blown over all 8 days of Sukkot Torah sacrifices? The following answer is from Duck .
Trumpet Blasts During Sukkot Trumpets are blown during the sacrifices on Sukkot, but not specifically on all eight days. The first day of Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret (the eighth day) are particularly noted for trumpet blasts during the offerings. Overview of Sukkot Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, is a seven-day Jewish holiday that begins on the 15th of Tishrei. It is a time of celebration and remembrance of the Israelites’ journey in the wilderness. Conclusion In summary, trumpet blasts are significant during the first day of Sukkot and on Shemini Atzeret, but they are not part of the sacrificial rituals for the intervening days.
What time of day would the sacrifices have been properly done on the 8th day of gathering, Shemini Atzeret, if there were a temple with active Mosaic Law being practiced? The following answer is from Duck .
Sacrifices on Shemini Atzeret The sacrifices on the 8th day of Sukkot, known as Shemini Atzeret, are to be offered during the day, but the specific time is not clearly defined in the scriptures. Traditionally, it is understood that they would occur in the morning, similar to other sacrificial offerings in the Temple. Traditional Understanding Morning Offerings: It is commonly understood that the sacrifices would occur in the morning, similar to other sacrificial offerings in the Temple. This understanding aligns with the general practices observed during other sacrificial offerings in the Jewish tradition.
I’ve removed huge parts of the trail we’ve used to find our way here. All the stepping stones our Awesome God provided us were relevant; I couldn’t have found my way here without most of them. Although I did all my own research, I say ‘we’ because I’m part of watcher communities in which many of us continuously have found the same stepping stones by different methods and even with different calendars! Many times I wouldn’t have known what some of the individual stepping stones meant if it weren’t for the particular insights of my beloved fellow watchers. The following link is just another piece of overflow. One that I might find useful to keep here, as this entire document/blog is really the main part of my 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.
1.31 DOOR, Glory of God
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.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.

. . . 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)
1.41 DOOR, Glory of God
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 Hanukkah.’ I think the temple will go up so fast that it’ll make the world wobble.
Bushehr Provence Iran Nuclear Plant
The Book of Ester (Purim) took place in Susa Persia, which is Elam. That’s where Iran’s nuclear plant is located.

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)
1.44 DOOR, Glory of God
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 Christ’s 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 3I/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 9 years, Virgo appeared lit by Venus and the sun, in a special way, concluding with the greatest sign in 2026 when Jupiter appeared to exit her womb in August.
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 too 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 all 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 dispensation rational is that the rapture sets off the final 7 years; Period! That’s certainly appealingly simple, 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 that seal, nor will it necessarily happen everywhere or to the same degree. There are underground cities on every continent stocked with 7 years of food that the Luciferian elite have built for themselves. They are on the losing side but don’t know it since they’ve been utterly deluded by satan. The beginning years of Daniel’s 70th week could be the final segment of Christ’s tarry. Jesus knows what He’s doing and when He’s finished doing that, He will not tarry but will come exceedingly quickly. Be encouraged by the fact that there’s very important work for bride to do on Earth right now, and that the church age may have been extended a bit as there’ve been are a number of saints that Jesus has been getting ready to bring onto His ark right now!
1.51 DOOR, Glory of God
‘The Church Age’ is a human invented descriptive term.
It’s a good term, which 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 four final 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 the masonry 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.”

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.

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 2024-2025, 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 neither the 2024 nor the 2025 Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) was the appointed time of our gathering to our beloved Bridegroom, Redeemer, Savior of the world. The Day of Atonement has been my first choice, if it comes on one of God’s remaining unfulfilled yearly appointed times, because of its meaning. It’s His life blood that coversus. But a trumpet is only blown on Yom Kippur in the beginning of every 49th year to announce the 50th year, which is the Jubilee Year. I recently came to realize that there’s a strong argument for the final Jubilee Year of this age to begin on Yom Kippur in the Fall of 2026. See mark 1.26.6 above.
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 or in any years, 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 all make a journey from Earth to heaven, but will all together return to Earth with Christ. At that time, on the return leg of the ultimate pilgrimage, He’ll be in His Full 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. I believe that one day we will linger with our Lord during this beautiful outdoor memorial during His Millennial Kingdom.
All along we learned about the amazing Messianic typologies and all these will again be high watches every year until He comes.
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. 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.
2.8 Saints, Glory God Beyond
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.
The Parable of the 10 Bridesmaids:
1“Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be compared to ten virgins; the same took their lamps and went to meet the groom and the bride. 2But five of them were wise and five were foolish. 3And those fools took their lamps, and did not take oil with them. 4But those wise ones took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5But when the groom delayed, all of them grew tired and slept. 6And in the middle of the night there was an outcry, “Behold, The groom has come, go out to meet him.” 7Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8The fools said to the wise, “Give us some of your oil, behold, our lamps have gone out.” 9But the wise answered and said, “Why? There is not enough for us and for you; go to those who sell and buy for yourselves.” 10And when they went to buy, the groom came and those who were ready entered with him into the wedding place, and the door was barred. 11But afterward, those other virgins came and they were saying, “Our Lord, Our Lord, open to us.” 12But he answered and said to them, ‘Amen, I say to you, that I do not know you.’
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 His bride will also be 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 why 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, 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 God’s final 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,which is 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 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 this: The moment Father God hands the scroll to His Lamb is the first of the final 3 most climactic moments of all time! Here’s the verse that shows the glorious 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 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.} {It also marks the eternal joy/delight/pleasure that humanity will experience, when we return to Eden. Eden will become 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 ratification day being the 2nd day SDG Summit – Woah! – That’s 4 days!
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 rider on the ‘white’ horse that symbolizes false peace, advances behind the scenes. He carries a bow which symbolizes the power of making agreements (diplomacy) and potential military power. He’s the antichrist to be. And he’s most likely King Charles III. (See enormous evidence in post 13.) 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. The Illuminati use ’17’ as a way to represent the number ‘8’ which symbolizes ‘new beginnings,’ in the Bible. Satan always mimics what God does and the New World Order they hope to bring about from the ashes, after they destroy the current world order, will fail..
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 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 has 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.
3.23 Cry, Glory God Beyond
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 ? Is it a fallen angel posing as an extraterrestrial? Is it a precursor to the abomination of desolation?
3.27 Cry, Glory God Beyond
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 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 , 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:
“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)
9.2 Church, Glory God Beyond
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.
2 Thess. 2: 1-4 (parentheses mine)
9.3 Church, Glory God Beyond
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)
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. (Rev. 3:20)
9.4 Church, Glory God Beyond
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)
Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved? He said to them, Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. (Luke 13: 23-24)
9.5 Church, Glory God Beyond
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)
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 Figs, 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. It’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, while also warning them not to believe in false messiahs; The passage concludes with the great signs in the heavens that will be seen by everybody on Earth before His coming from the East like lightening while 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 of 100 yrs. made by Moses about how the times were about 3,400 yrs ago; 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 after Gos’s temple was destroyed. (Jeremiah 24)
11.3 Figs, 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 Figs, 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 that 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 and trees, not just grapes and figs.
11.5 Figs, 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 Figs, 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 Figs, 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 self serving 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 Figs, 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 Figs, 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!
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.)

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:

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 of God
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.

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!
