(2 Thessalonians 2:4-8.) (Amplified Bible.) "Who opposes and exalts himself so proudly and insolently against and over all that is called God or that is worshipped, [even to his actually] taking his seat in the Temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God. Do you not recollect that when I was still with you, I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining him [from being revealed at this time]; it is so that he may be manifested (revealed) in his own [appointed] time.
For the mystery of lawlessness (that hidden principle of rebellion against constituted authority) is already at work in the world, [but it is] restrained only until he who restrains is taken out of the way.
And then the lawless one (the antichrist) will be revealed and the LORD Jesus will slay him with the breath of His mouth and bring him to an end by His appearing at His Coming." This one who restrains appears most likely to be the Archangel Michael. Along with the prayers of the saints Satan is currently being restrained. But when the Abomination is set up on 7 June he will enter the Lawless one and all that will change. It will bring a big judgment by God on the world particularly those nations (France - look at the events in Paris) in the process of completing the peace treaty.
Let's start with this prophecy: "Right now, in the secret place, God is preparing a generation of Ezekiels. They are nameless, faceless voices. He is plucking them from office jobs and universities, from tattoo parlours and bars, from dry churches and kitchens where they cook dinner with a baby on their hip, from the mission field and the prayer room. He's whispering to them in the night, shaking their circumstances and erasing the lines of their neatly drawn comfort zones. They are learning to walk through fire. They are forsaking fear and falling madly back in love with their First Love. They are being ruined to everything else, spoiled by His Presence. They won't want the world ever again, not after what they've seen and felt Him do. They will be a peculiar people, an upside down people. Turning the other cheek to their enemy, blessing those who curse them, giving everything they've got to those who can't give anything back. They will make Jesus' Name famous by choosing the Altar over the audience. They will live a laid down life, broken and poured out like an alabaster box. They will not forget what they were rescued from, and will live with reckless abandon for the One whom they call Saviour. They will raise an army of dry bones to life with the Power of the Almighty they've submitted to. Signs and wonders will follow them and favour will be bound to their heads. They are marked. They are bold. They will not shrink back. They are revival, burning hard and fierce. The fire in them is unquenchable. Just wait. When you hear their voices you will know that they are sent. You will know that they are chosen. But right now they are silent, weeping between porch and altar, being firmly rooted in an Eternal Paradigm. They are being sandalled with readiness for the Gospel of Peace. And with those readied feet they will run over glass, coals, lava if they have to. They won't slow down. They won't draw attention to their own able feet but instead, they will proclaim that there is One on His Way, One who they aren't worthy to tie the sandals of. Get ready, nations, this remnant is being prepared. They will shake the entire world. They will ask questions that demand answers, they will carry an anointing that cannot be denied. They will not relent in their cries for Heaven and mercy and miracles. The Truth is in them, and it is stirring, building, nearing the moment that it breaks forth. You'll know it's time when you hear their voices. The nameless, faceless ones.") (Just a few underlines to get the emphasis right.) The important thing is there's a day when they are commissioned. Will you be there? God has been preparing them for this moment through the events I'm about to explain. It's Shavuot in Jerusalem at King David's Tomb and the Upper Room where the Last Supper was held from Sunday, 12 June.
21 December 2012: (Daniel 9:27.) (Young's Literal Translation.) "And he hath strengthened a covenant with many--one week, and [in] the midst of the week he causes sacrifice and present to cease, and by the wing of abominations he is making desolate, even till the consummation, and that which is determined is poured on the desolate one." This term 'midst of the week' does make it sound like the Tribulation is seven years long. If it is then it's interesting it comes at the winter solstice. Suffice to say, if it is we are now nearly at the midpoint if summer solstice represents this. The bit that's most interesting to me is the 'Great Tribulation which is 3 1/2 years, 42 months or 1260 days. So, a 'COVENANT WITH MANY' was made on this date between America and Israel titled the UNBREAKABLE ALLIANCE - COVENANT OF THE PEOPLES. John Kerry was then made Secretary of State and Obama went off on Unbreakable Alliance Tour including Israel (20-22 March 2013). He's not the Lawless one. Notice also it only says 'he (Lawless one) hath strengthened a covenant with many.' He doesn't set it up. This really does suggest that we are now coming up to half way through the Tribulation. When the peace treaty is set up shortly everyone will be saying oh it's Daniel 9:27. We are starting the Tribulation now. No, that was the event above. The mark or microchip (as I like to call it) is coming shortly and isn't good news for Christians and Jews wherever you are. You are enemies of the state!
It's important also to mention that the Lawless one will have connections with all three Abrahamic religions. Obama has Christian (through Popery) & Islamic but not Jewish. The final one will "claim" all three and become the Jewish Messiah - that's the important bit for us Christians. He will be loved by everyone everywhere. So who is he?
The four blood moons come next. This Tetrad was on: 15 April 2014, 8 October 2014, 4 April 2015 and 28 September 2015. (The final one was a super moon, e.g. larger in size because moon was at its closest to the earth.) The first seemed to be a warning to Israel (the Land particularly) as ISIS appeared as if from nowhere and started spouting a "bit" of anti-Israel rhetoric - not too much, though, which is also interesting. Admittedly, it's manufactured terror because Mossad/ Israeli Government played a part in its creation along with America & UK (Royal Family playing no little part!) to achieve there desired ends - it stands for Israeli Secret Intelligence Service. (That's why they keep changing the name to distract attention.) I'm not sure about the second one but third one directly over America is a warning to all "true Israelis/Israelites" because that's where most of them are (the 144,000 I mean) that Tribulation is starting soon. (Not that many if any caught this, thought it irrelevant or dismissed it afterwards because it didn't happen within a week! I'm included in this for other reasons but later understood it.) The fourth one on 28 September saw an intifada or civil war start in Israel but more importantly Pope Frances left America on that day and started heinous and ugly doctrine - the first seal.
The Six Seals of Revelation chapter 6 started with this last event of Pope Frances on Monday, 28 September, 2015. (Revelation 6:1-2.) (Complete Jewish Bible.) "Next I watched as the LAMB broke the first of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living beings say in a thundering voice, "Go!" I looked, and there in front of me was a white horse; its rider had a bow and was given a crown; and he rode off as a conqueror to conquer." In other words, he started speaking it out as stated in last paragraph at the end. A partial eclipse only of the sun represents just a note of warning to the Gentiles. (Meaning here's one of the Four Horsemen to watch out for.) Then, a full moon is restored suggesting the start of something. Also, it's white! Pope Frances is always in white. (Wore white at his coronation where all previous had other colour clothing on.) The horse is white. The partial eclipse ended and moon was restored right at the time Pope Frances left America and went back to Rome. So he's going out to conquer as he did at the United Nations with talking and rhetoric. (It's all pretty ugly what he says but worth listening to because he tells what's coming in regard to NWO (New World Order) and who he is pointing to. BUT most importantly it seems this is the start of the gestation period of nine months or 280 days to setting up of the New World Order and starting the last 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation called Great! The date it works out at seems to be 4 July. By that time we need to be in Petra. By the way, Pope Frances appears to represent the white or Opal stone of Gad.
Seal 2 appeared to start on 13 November 2015. (Revelation 6:3-4. CJB. "When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living being say, "Go!" Another horse went out, a red one; and its rider was given the power to take peace away from the earth and make people slaughter each other. He was given a great sword.") The horse is red or ruby denoting the tribal stone of Reuben. This seems to relate to President Hollande of France as the Paris Attacks occurred on that day. His job is to prepare the world for war (World War 3). Is this when it started? It is gathering pace steadily. Soon after the event likely to occur on 7 June there should be an escalation in war.
Seal 3 appears to be the Onyx or black stone of Joseph represented by UK Prime Minister David Cameron - he often wears black. (Revelation 6:5-6. CJB. "When He broke the third seal, I heard the third living being say, "Go!" I looked, and there in front of me was a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales. Then I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living beings say, "Two pounds of wheat for a day's wages! Six pounds of barley for the same price! But don't damage the oil or the wine!") His job seems to be economic collapse worldwide. Certainly the earthquake (more on that later) in America's Pacific north east coast (at setting up of Abomination - the judgment of God) should trigger this full scale. This could be seen to start on 30 December 2015 which NASA and Oxfam confirmed started on this day.
Seal 4 is the turquoise stone of Judah represented by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. (Revelation 6:7-8. CJB. "When he broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living being say, "Go!" I looked, and there in front of me was a pallid, sickly-looking horse. Its rider's name was Death, and Sh'ol followed behind him. They were given authority to kill one-quarter of the world by war, by famine, by plagues and with the wild animals of the earth.") He always has this colour as a backdrop to his most important state speeches. His mission is to bring death to Islamic world around him particularly those in African regions. Will these be the surrounding nations that don't sign the peace treaty? This appeared to start on 15 February 2016 with his speech calling for world intervention in Israel. Other things pointing to this day can be seen in the
details of the Google Doodle and the start of Operation Thunder.
Seal 5 is a change of emphasis. It should have happened on 1 April 2016. Here we read, Verses 9-11. CJB. "When the LAMB broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been put to death for proclaiming the Word of God, that is, for bearing witness. They cried out in a loud voice, "Sovereign Ruler, HaKadosh, the True One, how long will it be before You judge the people living on earth and avenge our blood?" Each of them was given a white robe; and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow-servants should be reached, of their brothers who would be killed, just as they had been." There seemed to be little to substantiate this is newspaper articles or of people coming back to life. I found an article by Premier Christian Radio around this time which mentioned martyrdom but found little else. Certainly, though, we can be sure it happened in Heaven! It might be that like the other seals above the culmination of these will be with the other events coming shortly in June. The Tomb of David and Upper Room are in the close proximity to the Franciscan Monastery where Mary Magdelene is said to be buried. Maybe she will rise at this time and walk around the city.
Seal 6 is likely the start of events big time! (Revelation 6:12-17. CJB. "Then I watched as He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, the sun turned black as sackcloth worn in mourning, and the full moon became blood-red. The stars fell from Heaven to earth just as a fig tree drops its figs when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place. Then the earth's kings, the rulers, the generals, the rich and the mighty—indeed, everyone, slave and free—hid himself in caves and among the rocks in the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks,"Fall on us, and hide us from the face of the One sitting on the Throne and from the fury of the LAMB! For the Great Day of their fury has come, and who can stand?") We are one seal away now from the New World Order being established and the Tribulation starting. This one, however, starts with a big earthquake which will be felt worldwide (it's only a tiny planet we live on) and cause economic trigger signals. This is the judgment of God for causing a peace treaty and setting up an Abomination against His wishes as revealed in Scripture. The description is self explanatory. People will be running to their 'bunkers,' "celebrating" the peace treaty(!) and doing any manner of different things at this time - it will be chaotic. Meanwhile, we will be heading to Petra.
The Counting of the Omer started on Sunday, 24 April and finishes on Sunday, 12 June fifty days later. It refers to an Omer-measure of barley being offered in the Temple as a sacrifice everyday until Shavuot - this is one of the Feasts of the LORD. It's also called and marks the date of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was first poured out on the church. Barley is the first fruit (including grains) of the harvesting period in Israel. In Revelation 14:4-5 we read: "These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins. They follow the LAMB wherever He goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as first-fruits to God and the LAMB. No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless." This Scripture doesn't just refer to us in the last days but those in the first century who received the Holy Spirit then.
We have more on barley in the story of Gideon. In Judges 7:13-14 we read: "Gideon arrived just as a man was telling a friend his dream. “I had a dream,” he was saying. “A round loaf of barley bread came tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent with such force that the tent overturned and collapsed.” His friend responded, “This can be nothing other than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite. God has given the Midianites and the whole camp into his hands.” Well, actually, while it is Gideon it refers more properly to ADONAI (our LORD and Saviour). He is the first fruit (singular) of the harvest. So what's the significance of the barley harvest and being the first one? It's about those of Old Testament, New Testament & ourselves being part of the 144,000. We can see in all these groups that they followed the LORD and did what He did. AmAn!
We need to look at the wise and foolish virgins once more. There's one verse that is important here. (Matthew 25:10.) “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut." There's lots of different interpretations of this passage but it would appear from this verse that those who go in are the Bride.
All arches or portals lead to 6/6/16 for the Abomination of Desolation. Venus will enter fully the upside down horns of Taurus looking like some sort of heavenly portal (in the Jerusalem night sky) on this date - tomorrow, Monday. Will Satan be cast down through it and land by the world' largest natural arch, the Gateway Arch, St. Louis, Missouri, USA? Will the Hoover Dam nearby break as he comes down and the anticipated earthquake occurs too? We wait and see. Will all this allow an economic collapse which brings a revalue in the Iraqi dinar currency allowing the wise virgins (of Matthew 25 to move to Judea, Israel and then onto Petra? Again, we wait and see.
Does this, then, bring us up to date? Will you be there when the modern day believers are sealed in preparation for the Tribulation - on or around Shavuot for 27 days until Seal 7 comes on Thursday, 7 July? I will try to find more time to update before we move on through June. Be blessed and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to you and showing what to do in these troubling times. Aman!
Psalm 133. (A song of ascents. Of David.) "How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows His blessing, even life forevermore."
