Prophecy Flying in the Dark – Chapter 1

Chapter 1

The mid-19th Century is known for the rise of Marxism, Materialism, Existentialism, Social Evolutionism, Transcendentalism, and Nelson Darby’s theory on a future prophetic Wrath of God lasting 7 years. The Darby theory is based on Daniel 9:26-27, and passages in Matthew 24, Ezekiel 40, I Thessalonians, and Revelation 11. This article will lay out and expose word by word how Daniel 27 was changed to fit a false narrative and how and why other passages in Matthew, Ezekiel, and Revelation were reinterpreted in order to fit this realignment or agenda. This will be Part 1 of a much longer explanation.

The traditional KJV interpretation of Daniel 9:27 reads: “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Can you understand the message being relayed? The failure to give a clear accurate meaning of this passage is a cause for concern. It begins with the main subject “he.” Modern day translators declare that the “he” is the Anti-Christ, yet according to accurate interpretation of the original Hebrew text this is not true.

In the Hebrew mind and in traditional grammatical usage, the thought should continue with the main subject, the anointed prince, from verse 26. “After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed Prince will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the commander (Anti-Christ) who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary.” Verses 26 and 27 belong in the same paragraph or in the same line of thought. There shouldn’t be a paragraph break as verse 27 describes what the anointed prince does. He, the Anointed Prince and not the commander, “shall confirm the Covenant with many for one week.”

The secondary subject described in verse 26 is in plural form in the Hebrew and therefore is translated: “the people of the coming commander.” This army will “destroy both the city (Jerusalem) and the Temple.” Because this phrase is in the plural it cannot be connected to the singular “he” in verse 27. The subject “He” in verse 27 must therefore be connected to the “Anointed Prince” in verse 26. It would be a grievous error to suggest otherwise. Yet this is what many translators, teachers, pastors, and authors have done as they try to redefine one of the most important prophecies in the Word of God. Many of them may not be aware of the key details that we are discussing in this book. They were taught error and just believed what was said without studying the Hebrew and the Biblical context. It is important for them to understand that the Anointed Prince confirms the Covenant and not this inauspicious “commander and his people” or army. This anointed prince is Jesus Christ who at that time was in Heaven directing Gabriel to make this important announcement about His Coming. Why would Gabriel ignore the purpose of Christ’s birth, ministry, life, death and resurrection which prevails against sin, death and all forms of wickedness, anxiety and fear? Why confuse the issue by talking about something that may happen 2000 or more years later?

The important prophetic declaration in Daniel 9 was made by Archangel Gabriel who also made Messianic announcements to the Temple priest Zechariah and to the Virgin Mary. Gabriel. Like those two announcements he gave Daniel a powerful message about the coming Messiah. It would be out of character for Gabriel to digress from this glorious announcement to introduce an Anti-Christ as the Covenant maker. Why would God’s heavenly messenger skip the Messiah’s New Covenant that would end all sacrifices and offering? Why would he skip the message of hope and steadfast love that God was conveying to His exiled nation? Why would Garbriel also ignore the “desolation” that Christ would suffer at the hands of this coming “commander” and others? This message would be recorded by Daniel for future generations that would also suffer in exile. Again, we must recognize that Jesus Christ himself was conveying this divine message.

We should also note three other mistakes in translation: 1) The correct Hebrew translation for the verb “gabar” is not the word “confirms” but is the more commanding word “prevails.” In the Hebrew Lexicon the word gabar is defined as “to cause to overpower.” Thus, verse 27 should read: “His Covenant will prevail with many for one week.” The New Covenant of Grace “prevails” as the Anointed Prince defeats Satan in the wilderness, sets the captives free, brings sight to the blind, defeats death, and redeems mankind. Jesus is the 2nd Adam born fully man and fully God. He has come to reclaim the right of dominion from Satan and save mankind. Using the word “confirm” would carry less power and authority. God prevails and overcomes Satan, sin and death through Jesus Christ and His Covenant of Grace. The New Covenant prevails over the Old Testament but does not abolish it.

2) We can interpret the 2nd part of verse 27 as: “and He will be made desolate on the wings of abomination.” Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah who fulfills all prophecy and therefore is the suffering servant who is made desolate. A clear way to translate this entire passage is, “The covenant shall prevail for many for one week. In the middle of the week, He (Jesus Christ) shall cause the sacrifices and offerings to cease, and upon the wing of abomination He shall be made desolate.” Jesus Christ was made desolate when He was betrayed by Judas, abandoned by his disciples, denied by Peter, judged by the unrighteous High Priest, rejected and slandered by the angry Jewish mob, and condemned by Pilate. He was again made desolate when he had to carry the cross on which he was then nailed to and died on, bearing the sins of all mankind past, present, and future. To ignore this is to ignore the core of the Gospel message.

“The wings of Abomination” refers to the location or locations where this atrocity took place. Most of Christ’s physical torture and mocking began in the Roman Antonia and ended on the Cross which are both located in the Northwestern “wing” of Mount Moriah. This “wing of abomination” could also refer to the Garden Tomb which is also on Mount Moriah but further away. Both are outside the city wall or on a wing outside the body of the Temple and Temple court. In each case the Lord “was made desolate on the wing of abomination.”

3) It is unfortunate that verse 27 is one of the most misinterpreted verses in the entire Bible. In some versions the word “destroyed” is used instead of “desolate.” Again, “destroyed” is the wrong word to use for Christ cannot be destroyed. He is made “desolate” when he is beaten, scourged, and placed on a cross where He redeems the sins of the world. Jesus Christ is not destroyed. Why would anyone want to change the meaning of this key message? A possibility will be discussed later.

Many people are also told that the book of Revelation foretells of an Abomination of Desolation that happens in an “end time Temple” and that it represents the fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy. This is a false narrative, for the book of Revelation doesn’t mention the Abomination of Desolation. These prophecy teachers refer to Revelation 13:14-15, which describes “signs that the first beast (the Anti-Christ) performs” and then “the image of the beast that the 2^nd beast imparts life to.” They claim all or part of these events happen in a future end time Temple built on the Temple Mount. These supernatural events are not the Abomination of Desolation, and the book of Revelation does NOT state the location where they happen. They could happen at the Vatican or in any place on earth. It is important to note that the Book of Revelation was written 20 years after the real Abomination of Desolation happened in Jerusalem in 70 AD. That is why it is not part of any prophecy mentioned in the book of Revelation! Both Paul and Jesus Christ forewarn of the 70 AD “Abomination of Desolation” because they lived and died prior to 70 AD. We will discuss this in more detail later.

In summary the main theme of Gabriel’s message in about 532 BC was to announce to Daniel and to those who read Daniel’s scroll that a very specific time was set for the Messiah to appear. This Messiah or Prince is Jesus Christ who ministered for half a week or 3.5 years. He would end all sacrifices and offerings, and in his sufferings, he would redeem mankind. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ ended the need for all the Temple’s blood sacrifices and offering. Hence there is no need for a Temple. His glorious Resurrection happened in the middle of the week or after 3.5 years of ministry in about 32 AD. He is “this Temple” that Jesus said was “raised up after 3 days.”

Jesus told the Pharisees that the “Kingdom of God is within us.” Jesus Christ and all who receive Him have become the spiritual “Temple of God.” The final 3.5 years will be delayed for a long span of time just as the 70th week was delayed by hundreds of years. This means that the final 3.5 years of Daniel’s 70 weeks are reserved for a future time when the Wrath of God will judge the sin of the world. Jesus Christ spoke of this future 3.5 years in the Olivett Discourse and never mentioned any 7-year period that needed to be fulfilled. Note that even though Jesus referred to Daniel’s 70-weeks prophecy, He did not say that the “wrath of God” would last 7 years.

Jesus warned His followers to look for the “desolation” spoken of by “Daniel the prophet.” This desolation happened in the Roman siege of Jerusalem beginning in 68 AD when Nero desecrated the Temple, executed both Paul and Peter, and killed all the priests. This was the future “abomination of desolation” that Paul also spoke about. This final destruction would happen 38 years after Jesus gave his Olivett Discourse in Matthew 24. Those who did not flee with just the clothes on their back and would die in Jerusalem. That is why Jesus warned his disciples to leave the city. Twenty years after the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem, John the Apostle wrote about a time of “Tribulation” lasting only 3.5 years. The “Abomination of Desolation” had already happened and now Jesus Christ who has ascended into Heaven gives John a vision of end time events in Chapters 11, 12, and 13 that last only three- and one-half years. Jesus does not describe any 7-year period of tribulation nor any 7-year Wrath of God. Surely this detailed vision would reveal something about a 7-year judgment or wrath. This clearly suggests that Jesus Christ fulfilled the first 3.5 years of the 70^th week and was the Covenant Maker who ended sacrifices and offerings for eternity.

We can therefore conclude that only the final 3.5 years of Daniel’s final 7 year prophecy remains to be fulfilled: 1) Daniel 7:25 “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time (three and one-half years).” 2) Daniel 12:7 “The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time (3.5 years). When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed. 3) Revelation 13:5 “And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months (three and one-half years). 4) Revelation 12: 13-14: When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach.”

If you understand what has been revealed in this article you will be looking forward to a three- and one-half-year Wrath of God and not to the popular “7-Year Wrath of God” popularized by the futurist prophecy movement. Jesus Christ has fulfilled the first 3.5 years of Daniel’s 70th Week Prophecy given to him by the Archangel Gabriel. This will mean that both the covenant and the betrayal connected to that covenant by a so-called commander or anti-Christ figure will not happen in the future. And if there is another “abomination of desolation” it will not happen in a Temple on the Temple Mount. More about this will be discussed later. Review what you have just learned and realize that these small changes in interpretation will affect the whole of Biblical Prophecy.

The Great Hoax: Why the Prophecy Gurus are wrong – Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I am sad to report that the biggest hoax since the concept of evolution is heavily influencing the Church. This error in theology began as did Darwin’s Origin of the Species in the mid-19th century, in 1848 to be exact. The author was Nelson Darby who is the father of the modern dispensational theology’s structured focus on prophecy directed by the future of Israel. This system of thought promotes a 7-year “wrath of God” that begins with the Anti-Christ deceiving Israel as he prepares to destroy the Jewish nation and take control of the entire world.

Darby promoted a prophecy given to Daniel by the angel Gabriel in about 532 BC. It is called the “70 weeks prophecy.” The prophecy reveals that 69 weeks were fulfilled when Jesus made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem a week before his death on the cross. He stated that one week of 7 years remains to be fulfilled. Darby’s position on end time prophecy has been adopted by most of the popular authors on Biblical prophecy. Unfortunately, these proponents dominate all conferences, and no other viewpoint is allowed to be expressed.

Most Baptists, Pentecostals, Methodists, Evangelicals, and members of Bible and non-denominational churches are taught that Daniel’s final week represents a 7-year Tribulation still to come. They are taught that the Anti-Christ will begin this final week of judgment by signing a false covenant with Israel. In the middle of the week or after 3.5 years the Anti-Christ will then place the Abomination of Desolation in a yet to be built Temple which will be built in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount. They teach that this Anti-Christ may be alive today and therefore many people contrive that he may be Trump or some influential Jew like Jerud who established the Abraham Accord.

This 7-year “wrath of God” concept is dangerous as it generates a false flag mentality and motivates people to distrust good leaders who are peacemakers with a popular following. This theory makes a lot of conclusions that do not fit the context and the basic logic of God’s message to us. For instance, the angel Gabriel normally shared “Good News” of great impact related to the Coming of the Messiah. The angel appeared to both Mary and to Zechariah the father of John the Baptist, to announce the births of Jesus and his cousin John. Gabriel focused on key events to come related only to the Messiah. When Gabriel spoke to Daniel, he was announcing the coming of this “anointed prince” or Messiah who will end the practice of sacrificing animals in the middle of the “week” or in the middle of the 7 years. Jesus Christ fulfilled this when he died for our sins thus ending all sacrifices and offerings. He was the one who was made desolate in the wing of Abomination. He was scourged, beaten, mocked, and spit upon. He was stripped almost naked, and a crown of thorns was put on his head. He was abandoned by the disciples and betrayed by Judas and took upon himself all the sins of the world past, present, and future. Jesus, not the commander or future Anti-Christ was made desolate on the wing of abomination.

From a spiritual perspective Jesus Christ was our eternal sacrifice, and He purposefully ended all offerings and sacrifices for sin on the Cross. The Angel Gabriel was focused on this epic God-directed event and not warning of a theoretical event to happen over 2500 years later that would end all sacrifices and offerings. This is why we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and why history is divided between BC and AD. Historically all Temple offerings and sacrifices ended in 70 AD when the Temple was destroyed. There have not been any since. Why would Gabriel skip all these major historical and spiritual events that would divide history and save humankind from sin and death? Gabriel was assigned the glorious task of announcing God’s plan for eternal redemption of sin through the Messiah, Jesus Christ. This announcement was made by Gabriel to give Daniel, and his people hope during their captivity and during 500 years of trials and silence. Near the end of these 500 years, it is believed that Daniel’s scrolls guided the Magi in the East to look for a Sign in the stars that would point to the time and place of the birth of this coming Messiah or King of Kings. Gabriel’s total focus was on this wonderous birth that would fulfill prophecy and give all of mankind a Savior.

Darby decided to change the interpretation of the 70-week prophecy even though the early Church fathers did not entertain his theory. His theory goes against what Jesus Christ said in Matthew 24 as he warned his disciples about a 3.5-year long wrath to come. Darby claims that the entire 70^th week, or 7 years will be the wrath of God and that it has yet to be fulfilled. He taught that the Anti-Christ would sign a covenant with Israel’s leaders and will break this covenant when he commits the abomination of desolation in a yet to be built Temple. He gets all of this from verse 27 of Chapter 9. To Darby the phrase, “in the middle of the week, sacrifices and offerings are ended,” relates to an abomination committed by the Anti-Christ. This goes against what Jesus did on the Cross after 3.5 years of ministry or in the “middle of the week.” The veil in the Temple was split in two and thereon, God would no longer accept Israel’s sacrifices. From the beginning to the end Jesus Christ is the focus of Gabriel’s message since Jesus is the Messiah that fulfills the first 3.5 years ushering in the Church Age. The last 3.5 years will begin when this so-called Anti-Christ organizes a force that surrounds the city of Jerusalem. Jesus warns that everyone must leave Jerusalem with only the clothes on their back. This final scenario is true, and it lasts only 3.5 years not 7.

Gabriel’s 70-week prophecy given to Daniel is split into multiple periods of weeks with various lengthy time spans in-between. So, it is no surprise that the final 7-year period is also split into two periods spanning a lot of time. The 1st period is marked by the baptism of Jesus Christ. It ends with His Ascension in 32 AD. The total time span between that Ascension and the uplifting of the Church in the Rapture is called the Church Age. This time span will last 2000 years: from 32 AD to His 2nd Coming in 2032. The whole “Church Age” covers the gap between the two 3.5-year periods. These two 3.5-year periods act as bookends that represent the spreading of the Gospel into all nations and tribes as commanded by Jesus Christ. The final 3.5 years will represent God’s wrath on sin and will end with defeat of Satan, the false prophet, and the Anti-Christ. It will be marked by the Lord’s glorious 2nd Coming.

Prophets like Zechariah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Joel spoke of this final 3.5-year period as being the “Day of the Lord.” In the book of Daniel, Matthew 24, and in Chapters 12 and 13 in the book of Revelation it is described as lasting only 3.5 years. Nowhere in the Bible is the Wrath of God described as lasting 7 years. For instance, why would the White Horse in the first Seal Judgment be considered the Wrath of God. This horse and rider represent deception and lies. This anti-Christ spirit has been active since the Gospel began. This is what the Apostle John warns about: I John 2:18, “Dear children this is the last hour; and as you have heard the anti-christ is coming, even now many anti-christs have come.” There have been and will be many anti-christs that martyr millions of Christians.

The Darby interpretation connects the “he” in verse 27 of Chapter 9 back to that of the” commander” or “ruler” mentioned in verse 26. This ruler is defined by Darby as being the Anti-Christ who destroys the Temple. And yes, Ceasar Nero did destroy the Temple, but it was in 70 AD and not in a future time. And Nero did think that he was God. It was Nero who desecrated the Temple and caused the abomination of desolation mentioned by Paul in 2nd Thessalonians. He was the perfect Anti-Christ type. However, the person that Darby speaks of is a future Anti-Christ in a future 7-year period who he believes will be the one who ends the sacrifice and offerings. His Anti-Christ is the one who in the middle of the week commits the Abomination of Desolation in a future time in the middle of a future 7-year period. This is not true for in the Hebrew tradition of script writing the main subject, the “anointed prince,” carries forth throughout the thought or paragraph and therefore, the “anointed prince” is the one who ends the sacrifice and is made desolate. In Hebrew one cannot change the pronoun into another character as Darby does. Read the original Hebrew or least the KJV which uses the word “and” to link all the thoughts in verse 26 as a link to verse 27 which then starts with “he” who is the character that is first mentioned in verse 26 or the Anointed One/Prince. Note that the original Hebrew did not have all these confusing verse breakups. This confusing translation led to Darby’s incorrect logic. This bad logic is dangerous, and it makes no sense.

Note that many Messianic Jews believe that a Temple will not be rebuilt and that Darby has misinterpreted Daniel 9:27. The word “sacrifice” is not in italics in Daniel 9, but it is in Daniel 8, 11, and 12. This is because the word sacrifice was added by the translators, but it was not added in Daniel 9. Added words are in italics in KJV when they were not in the original text. It was not added in Daniel 9 because it was in the original text. The emphasis is that Jesus did the action: He took away the sacrifices. Darby’s antichrist cannot and will not do it. There have not been any animal sacrifices since the destruction of the temple. If the temple were rebuilt today, it would be an “abomination of desolation” for the very fact that it would be a denial that Jesus Christ is the Final Sacrifice for all who receive Him. For emphasis, Jews do not believe that the Temple will be rebuilt because it is not necessary. This is a made-up theory. In fact, what keeps Jerusalem from being destroyed by a future anti-Jewish force is the very fact that the Dome of Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque are still on the Temple Mount. Hence to have a future “commander with his forces surround Jerusalem” implies that the purpose is to take over the city and not to destroy a Temple. If the Temple exists in this future time, this commander will simply blow it up with a bomb or missile.

My Thoughts from God’s Word on End Time Events after the Rapture

So what will happen? The rapture of the Church will undermine all of America’s services and military, just as war breaks out worldwide. Out of chaos will come a Daniel’s fourth beast which is composed of the 3 historical beasts: the Lion of the Babylonian Empire, the bear of the Medo-Persian empire, and the Leopard of the Greek Empire. This 4^th beast has body parts representing all 3 prior empires plus an Empire that extends into our present culture. This is the Roman Empire mixed with the Holy Roman Empire as we know it today. This 4^th Empire will be ruled by 10 kingdoms that will control the earth, Daniel 7:7-25. This beast is also described in Revelation 13: 1-18 and Chapter 17. In these passages John, sees a “composite” beast that rules the earth with 10 kings or kingdoms. This ends when a small horn erupts that defeats 3 of the 10 horns producing a total of 8 horns or kingdoms or kings. The 8 horns last “1 hour” (a short time) out of which they will “give power and authority to the beast” or Anti-Christ (Rev.17:12-13). At the formation of this 8^th horn, the Anti-Christ will impose his will upon the whole earth and will commit the Abomination of Desolation on the Temple grounds. Soon later he will assassinate the 2 witnesses who were ministering to Israel and to the world through the media for 3.5 years. They have acted as dual prophet/judges and brought plagues and drought to those nations who disobey God. Therefore, they are not popular and when they are killed people will celebrate by giving each other gifts such as candy. This is a practice that is celebrated by Radical Islam when killing Jews. It is important to note that Islam has also been associated with this practice and with the Swastika- a cosmic symbol of Nazism and revolt against God.

This 8^th horn represents and 8^th kingdom that was and is and will be suggesting that it is an outgrowth of Hitler’s Reich. Some believe that the Anti-Christ will represent a “resurrection” of Hitler or a Hitler-like figure that shows similar traits. Even today we see the swastika used by many groups that endorse lawlessness and brutality. This spirit of the anti-Christ fulfills what both John and Jesus warned about. The Anti-Christ used the first 3.5 years to consolidate power over 10 kingdoms or the 10 horns and in the process will win over the world’s population including Israel with his charm and with the promise of peace and security. There is tribulation on the ten kingdoms or kings as the Seal Judgments are released by the Lamb of God. The final Seal is a warning of the coming great Wrath to come. This is not the wrath of God nor the Day of the Lord. The blood red moon and sackcloth sun along with the massive earthquake are warnings to the whole earth. The Great Wrath comes only after a lead Angel commands 4 angels holding back the 4 winds “not to harm the land, sea, or trees until the 144,000 are sealed.” Hence the Wrath begins after the 30 minutes of silence in heaven and after 144,000 pure Jews are sealed. This happens during the 7^th Seal and before the beginning of the 1^st Trumpet judgment. The 144,000 are God’s agents to replace the raptured Church.

Prior to the formation of the 8 kingdoms and during the time of the ten kingdoms the White Horse will spread Lies and Deception (the Anti-Christ) and soon later rebellion will occur or the Red Horse. This leads to economic hardship and the control of trade, money, and all goods including food by the Anti-Christ’s enforcers (the 3^rd rider and black horse). Sometime during the first 4 Riders of the Apocalypse God will appoint the 2 Witnesses in Israel. The two witnesses may influence where the 4^th Rider of Death followed by Hades is focused. Most of these 4 Seal judgments will occur outside Israel and in the 4^th Seal ¼ of the earth is devastated with the sword, famine and plagues. This implies that it may also be affected by drought and fire, which is the power given to the witnesses. This 4^th Seal judgment does not kill ¼ of the earth’s population as many believe. And the earthquake in the 6^th seal obviously affects the whole earth for every island and mountain will be moved. Some think that the Seal judgments only affect Israel—it actuality it is just the opposite.

Mexico, Canada and the weakened United States may form one region. South America and Central America along with most of the Caribbean may make up another region. Africa and India along with other destroyed Asian nations such as Pakistan make up a 3^rd region. The rest of Southern Asia and Australia make up a 4^th region. The Philippines, and other Pacific Islands along with Hawaii, Japan, and Taiwan make up a 5 region. Russia and its old USSR make up a 6^th region, China forms the 7^th, and finally the Middle Eastern nations including Turkey and Iran make up an 8^th. Initially prior to the formation of the 8 kingdoms fire, drought and civil war weakened 10 military zones or horns with its 10 kings. The Anti-Christ quells the rebellion, the Red Horse, with a superior force. He restores order with the Black Horse. During this time the Dome of the Rock is destroyed and out of this struggle the 8 major kingdoms are formed. The Anti-Christ creates a treaty or covenant with Israel so that peace will be restored in the region and allows them to rebuild the Temple. The Temple is completed under a year and from there the Jews call out to Jews the world over to return to Israel. The Anti-Christ allows this migration. Among this is group i9are the two Witnesses who begin the next stage of their ministry on the Temple grounds.

Anarchy leads to autocracy or strong controls to suppress rebellion for the sake of peace and security. When judges compromise justice and ignore the law—dogma and more rebellion arise along with lies and propaganda that feed the masses. This scenario will allow the Anti-Christ to spread consolidate his power—for Satan is the Father of lies. Right now, we are seeing the stage being prepared. The international nuclear watchdogs have confirmed that Iran is building a stockpile of highly enriched nuclear materials for the making of nuclear bombs or missiles. We just saw Iran’s balistic missiles and drones penetrate Israel’ defenses. Israel knows that allowing Iran to continue its pursuit of a nuclear weapon is an existential threat and so they will continue their attack. If Iran hits our military bases, we will join Israel in hitting deeper bunkers with bunker buster bombs. And it will take us one step closer to world war.

I believe one reason Trump has been talking to Putin is to make sure that he understands that this attack is regional and not his business. There is a treaty between Iran and Russia —- so Trump is making sure that Putin understands that this attack is to prevent a nuclear war near Russia that could affect the underbelly of Russia. Hopefully he will abide by this effort and warning.

See with eyes that see so that you may know the Truth and walk in the Light and not the darkness. Pray in this time turmoil so that you may understand the Word of God. So many have misunderstood– that the Time of Tribulation is near. They have not seen the Signs nor heard the winds of the Spirit blow. The rider on the White Horse will soon run his ghostly race to subdue the earth with lies and deceit. Are you ready? Time is short and therefore the Author seeks help in every venue to get the message out. God wants the world to know that the Great Sign of Revelation 12 was a divine warning of “Invisible Wars” both natural and supernatural that will continue to shake up the world.

In the last 8 years, America and Europe have lost their way allowing dictators, dark spiritual forces, and emotion to command the stage. An irrational woke mentality seeks to dictate truth and policy. Our national debt has soared, and the threat of nuclear war and internal rebellion has inflamed the fears and anxiety of the masses. The war in Ukraine and the threats in the middle East and Far East are taking the superpowers to the edge of war. Like the Bethlehem Star and the birth of the nation of Israel, the Great Sign of Revelation 12 was meant to get our attention. It has a powerful meaning for our day. God calls it the GREAT SIGN for a reason – so why are so few investigating its importance? Is it a Great Sign because God is warning us of the soon to come Great Tribulation and His Great Wrath?

As we study this Great Sign and Crossroad that connects to it, we will unwrap other mysteries and the path to the future. There is still time, but we must act now to pursue God’s Truth for it will save souls. To keep up with events, read new posts at: CosmicCrossroad.com and here. The fact that most people cannot open “the mysterious” Word of God shows its power and therefore it’s profound depth. In this book the Word is prayerfully used to reveal Answers. With God’s Word and the Holy Spirit, the blind can see and find hope. The rewards are inexpressible for Jesus Christ; the Author of Salvation is with us and wants an intimate relationship with us. He wants us to know and understand the love and hope in His message, many of which are revealed in his prophecies, warnings, and signs. It is up to us to see with eyes that see and hear with ears that hear before these “Days of Noah” turn into the stage for the Anti-Christ.

Deception or just bad Exegesis among Prophecy Speakers?

We have been deceived: Many Prophecy books, speeches, sermons, and film declare that ¼ of the world’s population are killed in the 4th Seal or during the ride of Death followed by Hades on the Green Horse. This is often used to support the idea that this must represent God’s great Wrath or the Day of the Lord. This lie is then shared by those who have been deceived. And so now 9 out of 10 people have been deceived. Open your Bible and read: Revelation 6:8 says, “I looked, and behold, a green horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.”

It does not say that a fourth of the earth’s population is killed like many have been told and now share with others! There may only be tens of thousands who die as we have seen in Ukraine where there is total devastation of buildings and infrastructure, yet mostly soldiers have been killed. In Chapter 7, an angel appears that commands the 4 angels that have held back the 4 winds, not to harm the land, the sea, and the trees until God has sealed the 144,000 on their foreheads. This infers that in Chapter 6 even the “trees and land” were not devastated by that 4th Horseman on the Green Horse.

This is not God’s Great Wrath nor the Day of the Lord as many prophecy speakers want you to believe. WWI and WWII were much more devastating. The point is in the 6 Seals God gives us Signs or warnings of the Coming Wrath of God or the Day of the Lord. Logically it makes sense, for God wants to first Seal the 144,000 who will replace the Church which was raptured before this final 7-year Tribulation. In His Grace and Mercy, God wants to save as many people as possible. By this time the Kings of the Earth are shaken Revelation 6:15, and the Anti-Christ is in control and raising his army while consolidating his power over 10 Kings.

God wants to save as many as possible before they receive the Mark of the Beast and are forever forsaken. Even the 6th Seal with its massive earthquake and the impact by many “falling stars” is not the “Day of the Lord.” As stated in the book of Joel and declared by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24:29 these are birth pains or signs marked by a blood moon and sackcloth sun. They warn of God’s Wrath in the coming Trumpet Judgments which will devastate 1/3 of the earth and sea. During this time the Anti-Christ will commit the Abomination of Desolation and will kill the two Witnesses.

The New Book and Current Events:

First is a Preview of the latest edition of the Cosmic Crossroad Countdown: The Invisible War & Final Chapter and following is the summary:

INTRODUCTION: God has warned us, the Invisible War has begun. It has taken many forms from the spiritual to the physical, from angels to demons, from a virus to the deep ocean, across our borders and through our gateways. It enters our mouth, ears, eyes and heart. We are being invaded yet few understand the danger. Like Noah’s time people have ignored the rumbling and stirring of the deep, the signs from the heavens, the growing evil and the day-to-day warnings. Cities and those who celebrate evil along with the innocent nearby are in great danger as a mysterious great Dragon prepares the stage for the Final Chapter.

Just as God used Daniel and heavenly lights to point to Christ’s first coming, does it not make sense that He will again use His Heavenly Lights, Daniel’s 70-week Prophecy, and historical markers to point to His next coming? The Great Sign of Revelation 12 plus four Blood moons and 2 Solar Eclipses, a Virgin with child, a Dragon with a Lion, a comet titled P67, a demonic-like invasion of Israel, followed by Iran’s first attack against Israel, and now today’s worldwide condemnation of Israel point to God warning us about some major event soon to come.

Dr. Hofmann will unravel how carefully God unfolds history to warn us of things to come, linking the natural to the supernatural as he fulfills promises in a mysterious pattern revealed in the Word He gave us.. In the center is the birth of Jesus Christ, a mistake made in the annals of world history, the Great Sign of Revelation 12, God’s city Jerusalem, the mystery of the number 7 & 8, and the divine connection to Hebrew Festivals and Generations. In God’s Light there is a warning beacon drawing us to Him which will protect us in the storm and will solve the puzzle of the century before it is too late. Just as the world missed the Bethlehem Star, most people will not see the truth behind the Great Sign unless they read this book. Unfortunately, it is because our leaders have a skewed view of Revelation 12 due to tradition, a false logic, and/or a reluctance to reveal the truth in this book. People do not want to hear about the Red Dragon and the actual date of his casting down to earth with all his wicked angels. Nor do they want to see how both the Church and the Jewish people are deeply connected to its message.

The Bible has many mysteries, but the greatest combination lies in Chapter 12 of the book of Revelation. Although confused scholars have chosen to cast it and Revelation in the dust bin of “history long ago,” Jesus Christ declares that its truth is a blessing to all who read it, hear it, or understand it, and a curse to anyone who changes it or adds to it. Why? Because God wants each of us to know the Truth before His soon to come Return.

Revelation 12 has many significant Signs: Number one is related to the birth of Jesus Christ, the nation of Israel, and the start of the Church which are timed to happen before the next major Sign:which is the casting out of Satan and his angels from Heaven. They are a warning to all mankind for it states that “Satan is furious because he knows his time is short”. God chose to put this Great Sign in the middle of His Revelation and not in chronological order because He wants us to know that it is has a timeless connection to all Prophecy and to both the beginning of time and to His Return. Like the Bethlehem Star the Great Sign is designed to give us Hope while at the same time serving as a warning beacon in the darkness.

Currently we see tragedies happening all over the world with many innocent people suffering due to the evil of others. This has also happened in New Orleans & Vegas where evil is celebrated with gambling, prostitution, and dark arts – And in Los Angeles which is the epicenter of pornography and a movie industry that promotes an anti-Christ agenda and mentality imbued with sex, horror, violence, gross materialism and hedonism. God is warning us.

God motivated and inspired Dr. Hofmann to share this because the Tribulation period is fast approaching. He gave Dr. Hofmann the vision of a great technicolor scroll flying in the sky with Hebrew letters and showed him that it was not a dream by dividing it into 3 scrolls-each in a Primary color – and bringing them together again. Things are not going back to normal as Satan desires to destroy both Israel and the Church. Billons of people and well-known corporations and lesser-known entities are under his dark spell. Just as with the spread of Covid, every level and sector of society is being affected by invisible forces that celebrate evil. God wants the world to know the truth and to seek Him with open hearts before it is too late. Learn more here: https://youtu.be/fqLjdlPb7Eo?si=ytZ1E0hYQe4nYRA4

The Seed of the Red Dragon vs. the Seed of the Woman

Do you realize how much we depend on signs? Signs tell us how fast we can drive, where to eat, how far to go, where we live, or when our plane arrives. Frankly, we take signs for granted. In ancient times there were few man-made signs, so many people depended on the stars, moon, sun, and shadows to tell them when where, and how to navigate distances and time. This may be the reason why people have failed to comprehend the convergence of 3 important signs. It involved planets, stars, our moon, the Jubilee year, Jewish Holy Festivals, & Generation periods. God had promised that “A Star shall come out of Jacob; a scepter shall rise out of Israel.” He used Heavenly Lights to proclaim Jesus Christ. And when He placed those Lights in alignment and in timely order or patterns such as in the “womb” of the Constellation Virgo for 9 months, then we know He is trying to get our attention. We know that the main star in Virgo is “Spica” which means Seed, and this suggests a connection between Eve and Genesis 3:15, the Virgin Mary and Jesus, and the Great Sign of Revelation 12 and the Red Dragon. It points to the epic battle in between good & evil.

Over a span of 3-and one-half years the first Blood moon fell on the feast of Passover 2014 and 3 other Blood moons also fell on key Jewish Festivals: each with earth’s red shadow cast on it. It makes sense that they may have been used to announce the Great Sign of Revelation 12 which Jesus Christ revealed to the Apostle John. The Sign happened on September 23, 2017, as declared by astronomers who were amazed by how Jupiter’s retrograde motion kept it in the “womb” of Virgo for over 9 months. And prior to that, Venus moved in conjunction with Jupiter across the Solar System for exactly 400 days. Then Venus (representing Jesus as High Priest) departed the womb and moved in perfect alignment with Mars (Son of Man) and Mercury (Jesus is the Word) to form a perfect line pointing to the star Regulus (Royalty) which the heart of the constellation Leo. God gave us constellations to help us, to explain His plan for the Universe and to be a Sign of His Promise to defeat the Red Dragon or Satan and deliver Israel. The Big Dipper for instance pointed out the North Star and the North Star guided navigation on both sea and desert. The constellation Virgo, the Virgin Eve, led the way, with Leo the Lion closing out the epic Promise. Some students of Egyptology suggest that the pagan priests taught that the Virgo-Leo position was a portal into the underworld for eternal bliss in the “Field of Reeds.” This may be why the Sphinx had the head of the Virgin and the body of a Lion.

The Great Sign is also connected to God’s promise to the Virgin Eve and the Serpent Dragon in Gen. 3:15: “I will put enmity between you (speaking to the Serpent) and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” Both involve the Virgin, the Seed, a Dragon, and the Hero. Both reflect the birth of the Savior and His Resurrection and the defeat of Satan, death, and sin. Jesus’s first coming was announced with Heavenly lights, the Bethlehem Star. It was God’s beacon that was not noticed by the leaders, scribes, and Pharisees. It was “seen” only by the Kings of the East who were trained by the prophet Daniel. Likewise, our Great Sign was not seen by the Spiritual leaders of today. In fact, it was virtually invisible since it appeared so low on the horizon. Plus, the minute the sun came up and positioned itself on the Woman’s shoulder you could not see the sign for the sun would blind you! So why would God call the Sign of Revelation 12 the “Great Sign” if it was “invisible” to the naked eye? God knew that astronomers with their telescopes and star maps would see it. Maybe part of the message was to warn us of “invisible” unseen agents: which can be both supernatural and natural (viruses, hacking, saboteurs). This is precisely what the Lord told me.

Since then, we have seen unusual increases in wicked, perverse, and corrupt thinking. We have had Invisible attacks in many forms: hacking and cyber-attacks, extreme winds (including hurricanes), and Covid-19. Are we in a final countdown to End-Time Prophecy? This is a warning to those who have wandered from the faith. Jesus who is the Light of the World warned religious leaders of his time that they were oblivious to His Sign and the epic change that was coming. These blind leaders feared the voice of God for it threatened their control and wealth. Is this happening today? Are our faith leaders and those millions who are living comfortably afraid of the voice of God declaring His soon return? Divine Signs do not mean much to the apathetic. It would be like you or I seeing a sign written in a foreign alphabet. That ignorance, however, does not mean that it will not affect us. If you miss a stop sign or stop light, you may suffer severe consequences.

The Great Sign of Revelation 12 appeared as a war in heaven was taking place and Satan and his angels are cast out. Revelation 12:12 states, “Therefore rejoice O heavens, and you dwell in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, for the Devil has come down to you with great fury, because he knows he has a short time.” There is NOT much time, and have you noticed how crazy and insane things appear to be? This is part of the shadow that is spreading throughout the earth. But God and His angels are here to protect us. We will find refuge in the Shadow of His wings despite the Valley of the Shadow of death. Since 2017 we have seen increasing chaos, uncertainty, and fear as our enemies grew in strength and God’s people went through dark & wicked threats like Oct.7^th, an upturned the Presidency, massive border crossings and the ensuing criminal activity. Are these warnings? Will America see Oct. 7^th type “internal” attacks on its infrastructure and military bases? What will happen next? Revelation 12: 1-8 explains why we are seeing an irrational war attacking the soul of the family and the individual. Satan and his angels have been cast out of heaven and “Satan is furious because he knows his time is short,” !2:12. God’s enemies are ready and eager to pounce and once the Church is raptured the world will fall apart. Right now, God is testing the Church by fire to strengthen it. The book Cosmic Crossroad Countdown: The Invisible War & Final Chapter, exposes the Red Dragon.

Revelation is the only book that promises a Blessing to anyone who reads it, hears it, or understands it. And it promises a curse to anyone who changes or adds to it. Yet many Bible translators are willing to change the meaning of the word “Chloros” which is used to describe the color of the 4th Horse of the Apocalypse. We get chlorophyll from that word and chlorophyll is bright green. The color means “Green” and not “pale or ashen?” Yet these translators use pale or ashen and not “green” because it fits the color of natural horses. The rider, however, is a supernatural being called “Death,” so, why would he be riding a biological earth dwelling horse? The word Chloros is also used in Mark 6:39 to describe the “green grass” that Jesus and others were sitting upon. God chose Green for a key reason. The colors Green, White, Red, and Black copy the colors of all the Arab nations threatening Israel. In Revelation 6 the martyrs had their heads cut off which points to Islamic executions. Has the Church failed to properly warn the public? It has now been 7 years since the Great Sign of Revelation 12. Is this a foreshadow of the 7-years of Tribulation?

Many have heard the powerful story about Rahab, her faith, and the sign she would give to save herself and her family. The sign she used to alert the Israelites was a scarlet threaded rope hung from a window on the wall. The Israelite army marched around the city for 6 days then on the 7th day, they marched around 7 times, and 7 priests blew 7 trumpets 7 times. God used specific numbers and actions to prepare for the divine destruction of evil. He used Rahab’s red rope to remind us that divine Grace runs like a scarlet thread throughout “His story,” tying His Promise to great events and people in history. That is why the Great Sign of Revelation 12 is so important. It is anchored in God’s Grace and starts the “Countdown” to the 4 Horses of the Apocalypse (Greek for “the Uncovering”) and the Return of Jesus Christ for His Bride, the Church. The number 7 also plays a key role in Daniel’s prophecy as it leads to the uncovering of the Anti-Christ and his betrayal of Israel, followed by the defeat of his armies and the casting of the Red Dragon into the Abyss. The judgment upon Satan’s forces and all the evil on the earth will happen with 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets, and 7 Bowls soon after the Church which is represented by 7 golden lampstands is raptured. Whoever reads this must open their heart to Jesus Christ soon.

Why are we seeing an influx of dark unseen forces and invisible agents? We have little clue as to who is crossing the border. We have seen hundreds of military age Chinese without ID’s freely cross into California. Drones are spying on our military bases and large trafficking gangs are threatening cities around the country. Malware such as ransomware has been used to disrupt and control hospitals & infrastructure. Other invisible forces include propaganda and censorship on our Airwaves. This comes from elites in High Tech, television, Hollywood, and radio. The Red Dragon or Satan is behind this invasion for he is the Prince of the Air. He is using radical Islam, Xi in China, and Putin to create division and undermine the superpowers before the great war of Gog and Magog begins. God, however, will fulfill His Promise in Genesis 3:15 with the Seed of the Woman of Revelation 12, and will crush the head of the “seed of the Serpent.” Israel, the Woman, will see Jesus Christ in all His Glory and will believe. As with Moses, they will follow the Lord into the wilderness “with wings of an eagle”, Rev. 12: 14? They will be delivered as was Moses and Israel when they crossed the Red Sea into Arabia and to Mt. Horeb. Presently the Church is under the “shadow of His wings” and will have its own “red-sea” crossing and time of trial. What happens next could be the “great disappearance” of billions of Christians or an intense series of birth pains as God purifies the Church. A purified humbled Church will act as a Light and Salt to the lost world. God wants the Church to save the lost and help Israel before it is too late. In the meantime, Satan is preparing the world -stage for the Anti-Christ and will seek to destroy everything related to God including the American Constitution, its institutions and the nation of Israel. This will be a time of lies, deceit and severe testing- so we must keep in sincere prayer and in His Word. Go to CosmicCrossroad.com or ToGodBtheGlory.org or my sites on Facebook.

The Wrath of God

The Wrath of God:

Do we believe in a loving Merciful God who will allow the 4 Horses of the Apocalypse to shake up the Church and motivate a final revival on the earth? Will God wait until after these Seal Judgments to rapture the Church? Do we want to believe that the last seal, the 6th Seal (Rev. 6:12), overlaps the 1st seal (Rev. 6:2) when in Revelation 6:15 the 6th Seal states “the Wrath of God is here.” If this is true, we must ask why would an event or a degree of judgment work backwards in time to affect the 1st seal? It seems obvious that there is a progression of time from one seal to the next and it would make more sense for God to have said that the “Wrath of God is here” in the description of the release of the 1st Seal. Can the late use of this very important phrase imply that the Wrath began earlier? I do not think so. It is obvious that God wants us to know that each seal brings new judgments and consequences different from the prior ones. The 6th seal is a unique one causing every mountain and island to be “shaken.” It also results in the “kings” and other leaders of the earth to hide in fear in “caves” (or bunkers) as they behold the power and reality of judgment from the Almighty God. And read to the end to note that Jesus also makes reference to this.

God does not mention “His wrath” in any of the earlier seal judgments. It seems to indicate that God reserves His Wrath for the sixth seal: When He opened the sixth seal, v. 12 there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand? This seems to indicate that the sixth Seal is the beginning of God’s Wrath— and NOT any earlier!

Yet many Prophecy gurus are determined to ignore the sequence of these verses and teach that God’s Wrath begins with the 1st Seal. When we read Revelation Chapter 6, the first 5 seals do not mention the Wrath of God but do reveal a type of persecution against Israel and the Church that is spreading in the world today. Thousands of Christian converts are being slaughtered in places like Nigeria, the Republic of the Congo, Southern Sudan, and now Burkina Faso. Israel is in the middle of both an internal and external war with divisions among its own Jewish population. Anti-Semitism along with a repressive Marxism mixed with Islamic radicalism is spreading worldwide increasing the threat of a nuclear war and violent civil unrest. The threat of the Red Horse along with the Lies of the White Horse are affecting politics and policies throughout the “free world.”

Verse 12 of this sixth seal is important. The book of Revelation states that when He opened the sixth seal, “and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.” Note that this catastrophic world-wide earthquake happens only after the 4 Horses of the Apocalypse. This unique series of events correlates with the Prophetic Warning in Joel 2:4-10, “They have the appearance of horses; They gallop along like cavalry. 5 With a noise like that of chariots they leap over the mountaintops, like a crackling fire consuming stubble, like a mighty army drawn up for battle. 6 At the sight of them, nations are in anguish; every face turns pale. 7 They charge like warriors; they scale walls like soldiers. They all march in line, not swerving from their course. 8 They do not jostle each other; each march straight ahead. They plunge through defenses without breaking ranks. 9 They rush upon the city; they run along the wall. They climb into the houses; like thieves they enter through the windows. {DOES THIS REFLECT THE TERROR SEEN ON OCTOBER 7TH IN ISRAEL?}

NOW CONTINUE WITH JOEL 2:10 “Before them the earth shakes, the heavens tremble, the sun and moon are darkened”- (in the King James it states, “the sun becomes black as sackcloth and the moon becomes like blood.”) This great sign is identical to what we just saw in Revelation 6:12! Note that this is Sign of huge magnitude that is only mentioned a few times in God’s Word. It correclates with the 6th Seal of the Book of Revelation and the massive worldwide earthquake.

How can anyone ignore this—yet most pastors and prophecy gurus refuse to acknowledge this as they promote a rapture that will happen before the “Wrath of God” while placing this “Wrath” before the first 4 Seal Judgments which are the 4 Horses of the Apocalypse. This is not the sequence revealed in the Word of God. The “Wrath” only begins in the 6th Seal which is after the 4 Horses of the Apocalypse. Thus the rapture occurs in the middle of the Seal judgments and before or during the “great earthquake” that shakes every island and mountain.

Note verse 11 and 12 in the prophetic book of Joel: The Day of the Lord is great; it is dreadful. Who can endure it? Rend Your Heart 12 “Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” This great “Day of the Lord” correlates to the “Wrath of God” throughout scripture and indicates that God’s Wrath occurs after the “horses” trample the earth and right after a great sign appears: the “sackcloth sun and a blood red moon.” The only other way to explain away this connection and sequence is to say that God will generate TWO different signs with a sackcloth sun and a blood moon. This was admited by the biggest proponent of the pretrib rapture movement: the lawyer and prophecy speaker John Hitchcock.

You must decide on your own after you pray and study His Word. In Matthew 24:15, Jesus Christ warns about the abomination of desolation which Daniel indicates happens in the middle of the 7 years. The first 3 and 1/2 years of the 7 years includes the majority of the Seal Judgments. In reference to this time Jesus Christ states: “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

This fits the description of the Seal Judgments involving the White, Red, Black and Green Horses that cause massive chaos in the world. Next Jesus warns of a greater persecution and shaking that appears to be the “Wrath of God”: Verse 15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[a] spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.”

The Question is — when does the rapture occur in the sequence of events leading up to the Abomination of Desolation. Will it happen prior to the Seal Judgments? Those in Africa suffering severe persecution would say that they are already in the events of the Seal Judgments and yet have not been raptured. Will America soon face the persecution seen there?

Will God shake the American Church in order to bring repentance and obedience among its members? Will He wait until the Abomination to rapture a weak and spoiled “Western” Church? I pray that God Will rapture the Church prior to all the Seal Judgments — but as you can see from the evidence above — the American Church may have to face the Seal Judgments prior to the rapture. Keep in prayer, obey God’s Word, and share the Gospel.

God’s “Still Small voice”

The Lord has sent a Great Sign and few have had the eyes to see and He has sent a still/small voice of Warning and few have had ears to hear. Maybe God is trying to get your attention! It is no coincidence that our Christian “leaders” are coming under heavy trials.

The enemy is here and is affecting the whole world yet the Church is not keeping up with discernment and commitment.
The Church is giving up Holy Ground and is in retreat in many parts of America because of poor discernment and lack of faithful, Godly
determination. Perhaps the greatest measure of our Christian life is here. Perhaps we can take our true spiritual temperature by the amount of trials heaped upon us. Perhaps the abundant life is more about having joy in the midst of trials than the absence of those trials. J.B. Phillips translates James 1:2 this way: “Don’t resent trials as intruders, but welcome them as friends.”

If you teach error you will reap trials. God is seeking those with a “wholesome tongue” to speak out — yet there is silence.
God blessed us for a reason. This is a time of trial, so stand up against error, falsehood, and apathy. Where is the voice crying in the wilderness calling for repentance? Seek God in fervent prayer while reading His Word. When we have the “Dollar” on the premier “christian” TV production company speaking “christ” and abortion” in the same breath…. — then we have Apostasy.

When we have “christianity” mixed with puberty blockers and the promotion of baby killing on the same platform then we have wickedness.

When God’s people allow “christian” voices to speak against His Promise, then you have embraced the Lie. Wake up,
God wants to Bless and Restore — yet the “Church is silent and not speaking the whole Truth and the Warning’s that He has proclaimed.

Red Dragon Confusion

“Faith comes by hearing and Hearing by the Word of God.” What does this mean? God is simply and distinctly saying that our FAITH is dependent on us studying and knowing the Word of God. Do not depend on a priest, pastor, or denomination to give you the FULL unadulterated TRUTH that God wants you to Trust in and rely on to guide your LIFE in HIM. This may sound radical, but it is as simple and direct as the verse indicates. Whole denominations have relegated the Book of Revelation to the trash bin of allegory and spiritual mumbo jumbo.

Jesus Christ himself, directed John the Apostle to write everything down in His Revelation for He would show John the scope of His plan for the Church and for those who fail to Trust in Him. It is very clear that Judgement of the world and of the individual is coming — and at the same time a Rescue is coming which is the HOPE and Eternal Rescue of those who trust in the Lord. It includes those who are raptured before the 7-year Tribulation and those who end up going through the Tribulation but who do NOT receive the Mark of the Beast. Prior to all this happening God provides a Warning Sign to mark the Countdown.

He is very clear about this, yet almost 100 percent of those who teach on Revelation either ignore Chapter 12 or use an old concept that they were taught in seminary–that this key Chapter happens before the beginning of time or during the 7-year Tribulation. Neither makes any sense for why God would call the Sign that begins the Chapter, “A Great Sign.” Like the Bethlehem Star this Sign is both Astronomical and Prophetic– in that God uses the Sun, Moon, Stars, and Wandering Stars or planets to make the announcement to the whole world–not just Israel- that He is Coming to fulfill Prophecy. In this Great Sign, He tells us that He is Coming to fulfill all Prophecy since the beginning of Time. For this reason, He is giving us a Countdown that should be clear to everyone, yet just as in the case of Bethlehem Star—the world and the elitist teachers and scribes today are oblivious to its timing and its meaning.

The Sign connects the Garden of Eden to the Birth of Christ and to the Countdown to His 2nd Coming that we are now in. Verse 12 of Chapter 12 is ignored by all those preachers and pundits that want to promote their false interpretation of this key Chapter that is also a Warning to All people of All nations and to the nation of Israel in particular. One cannot ignore its connection to Israel and to its end-time destruction by the Red Dragon. But this is only one layer of warning. The Dragon also fights the Seed of the Woman who is the Church and Jesus Christ. The Sign if Timeless for it begins with Genesis and ends with the final Chapters of Revelation.

Jonathan Cahn’s new book only captures a small part of the warning and prophecy concerning the Red Dragon. It is important for those pastors and writers to understand the curse related to misrepresenting the Word specific to the Book of Revelation: “for all who add or subtract from this revelation will be cursed.” This is shown true in the near-fatal illnesses of prophecy speakers and fires in churches. Why is this happening? Could it be because the Red Dragon is being very successful in fooling both the world system and the weak leaders in the Church who are so focused on promoting their little world of influence with their books and short-sighted concepts that were birthed years ago. They are afraid to walk back past conclusions and bad logic or inspiration. God says, “Repent and read or hear my Word as if I am speaking directly to you.” God will not tolerate falsehoods and misrepresentations in reference to this final warning to His Church.
