The Dark Skies of Prophecy Chapter 3

Chapter 3

In the attempt to expose fallacy or weakness it is important that we do not generate slander nor label Christians as being heretics. The purpose is to educate the public and those who teach and promote Biblical Truth. It is important to expand our understanding of what God has communicated to us through His Word and the inspiration He continues to give us through the Holy Spirit. With that said, we should be careful how we word critical thoughts and how we label ideas and positions that people take.

It has been a custom among certain groups and television ministries to negatively label anyone who does not agree with their seven consecutive year pre-tribulation rapture viewpoint. They often use exaggeration and critical labeling to demote opposing viewpoints and promote their own ministry. Others use sensational concepts or theories to entertain their followers and raise money. This habit of labeling other groups is a form of slander and a way to put down or box out opposing viewpoints instead of having honest conversation and debate.

To be clear this book does not teach a preterist, partial-preterist, nor the amillennial viewpoint. The viewpoint presented in this book describes: “God’s Mercy and Love expressed through the 3.5-year ministry of Jesus Christ, followed by the Church Age, then closed out by the Rapture, and a 3.5 period of Divine Judgment called the Wrath of God.” Our two thousand yearlong Gospel-age is in the spotlight and embraced by two divine 3.5-year Holy periods that proclaim the Name of God as Savior and Judge, the Lamb and Lion, and the Alpha and Omega (the Beginning and End). The two prophetic 3.5 periods are God’s hands holding up the Church, the Light of God.

This Light points to God’s great mysteries in the Old and New Testament. In Ephesians 3:9, Paul declares that God’s grace was given him so that he could “make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.” The Holy Spirit and the Church were mysteries revealed by Jesus Christ. Another mystery was the miraculous birth and survival of the nation of Israel in 1948 and the miracle war of 1967 which released Jerusalem from Islamic control. These are signposts that point to the Lord’s 2nd Coming. The Cosmic Crossroad Countdown book series reveals other divine signs given to us to guide us such as God’s Festivals, the Jubilee years, the 7-Days of Creation, and God’s Great Sign of the Woman in Revelation 12. They show that we are in the “generation” that will see the rapture.

God’s plan was to defeat sin and death and transform His creation from a temporary and corrupt state to one that is eternal and perfect. The Futurists may label this inspired viewpoint as the “classic Pre-Wrath version.”  However, the classic Pre-Wrath end-time scenario demoted by the Futurists was based on a contiguous 7-year tribulation. This prophetic outline does not follow that concept and instead has the two 3.5-year periods embracing and uplifting the two-thousand-year Church Age. It makes sense that God would spiritually and physically embrace His Church as He puts all people in the world through tests and trials that will cause them to look up to Him. He wants to purify the Church and draw unbelievers to the Light so that everyone will have a chance to repent and obey Him. He encourages us by declaring; “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you are involved in various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance,” James1:1-2.

In His Love God has made His Word available to the entire world through every method possible including through the printing press, radio, television, film, and digital drives. He has also allowed the 4 Horses of Revelation to shake the world’s foundation with disasters, famines, wars, rebellion, pestilence, and even the beasts of the earth. This shaking also happened during Old Testament time as shown in the following verses:

1) David called out to God in distress as enemies surrounded him: “My cry reached his ears. The world shook and trembled; the foundations of the mountains quaked, they shook because he was angry. He shot his arrows and scattered them; with many lightening bolts he frightened them,” Ps. 18:7 and 14.”

 2) Psalm 97:1: “Hate evil, you who love the Lord. He guards the life of those who love Him, delivering them from domination by the wicked.”

3) Isaiah 40:4-5: “Every valley will be lifted up, and every mountain and hill will be lowered; the rough ground will become level, and the mountain ridges made a plain. Then the Glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all humanity will see it at once, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”

4) Haggai 2:6-9, “This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the LORD Almighty.”

It is IMPORTANT to note that in Haggai’s verse the phrase “in a little while” or others like “in the last hour” and the “70th week” can represent lengthy periods or spans of time now and into the future.

This idea of “super short time” representing a long amount of time is used by Jesus in replying to the woman at the well. Jesus says, “the hour will soon come when worship will not depend on a specific location but will be “in spirit and truth.” The Temple will not be necessary. God will move from the Temple to the human heart. “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you,” I Corinthians 3:16 ISV).

Paul the Apostle refers to the Haggai verse above suggesting that Jesus Christ “shook all the nations, filling this house with Glory.” Paul states in Hebrew: “Once again I will cause the earth to move. But this time I will cause heaven to move, “Hebrew 12:28. Although Paul does not say that Heaven and earth moved when Jesus defeated Satan and Death, could it still be true? He will again move both Heaven and Earth at the end of the age in the last half of the prophetic 7th Week. Was Haggai comparing earth’s Creation to what will happen at the end of time? During the Wrath of God, all temporary, created things—both in heaven and earth—will be transformed through a final, cosmic “shaking” or judgment. This will ensure that only the eternal, unshakable Kingdom of God will exist.

However, we know that Jesus Christ made all this possible by reversing death, sin, the temporary state of matter, and much of physics through God directed miracles while living in a sin filled world.. When he died a massive earthquake happened and the sky became dark for hours. The supernatural was shaking the natural. Thus, at both sides of our 2000-year period the effect on nature and “permanence of created things” change. Both 3.5-year periods show “cosmic events.” There is much more detail on these special cosmic events in the first Cosmic Crossroad Countdown book.

John the Apostle in Revelation 3:10 shares the strong exhortation given by Jesus Christ to all Churches (and this includes Christian authors, film makers, institutions) that act as His Light to the world: “Because you (Philadelphia Church) have obeyed my command to endure, I will keep you from the hour of testing that is coming in the whole world to test those living on the earth.” This “hour of testing” spans time to include our present age. It is an “hour” that includes world wars, Islamic invasions, worldwide pestilence like the Spanish Flu, and economic dictatorships like China. The White Horse and Rider will test the faith and devotion of the Church. The Red Horse and Rider will test their strength and obedience. And the Black and Green Horses will shake their faith, endurance, and convictions.

Jesus Christ showed his love for everyone including the demon possessed with miracles, comforting words, divine wisdom, and God’s plan expressed in parables and warnings. He set the stage for how a believer can overcome the world. He was purposefully directing a three-and-a-half-year ministry while he fulfilled hundreds of prophecies. Although he does not explicitly say, “I am fulfilling the first half of Daniel’s 70th week,” he implies this in the following Gospel passages:

1) In Luke 13:6-9 in the parable of the unfruitful Fig Tree Jesus Christ speaks of seeking fruit for “three years” and granted “one more year” to nurture and care for it. This is a good reference to his 3.5-year ministry.

2) The Gospel of John records at least three Passovers celebrated during Jesus’ ministry, ending with the Passover of his crucifixion. Since scholars believe that Jesus was born near late September during the Feast of Tabernacles, it suggests that he was baptized by John the Baptist in September during or after the Feast of Tabernacles. That would add six months to his ministry for a total of 3.5 years.

3) If you chose to use the word “confirm” at the Lord’s supper (Matthew 26:28, Mark 14:24, Luke 22:20) one sees Jesus Christ confirming “the blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.” By doing this he is identifying himself as the “anointed prince” in Daniel 9:27.

4) And in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24:15): Jesus directly references Daniel 9:27: “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation’ standing in the holy place (let the reader understand).” By instructing the disciples using this key passage in Daniel he confirms his ministry and the subsequent events: which include the abomination Nero placed in the Temple in 67 AD and the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. The Abomination includes the execution the Apostles Paul and Peter by Nero and later the execution of all the Temple priests. It all “confirms” the abomination having been committed during the time of the early church and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

In Matthew 24:3-8:  Jesus replies after the disciples ask him what will happen to them, and what will be the sign of his coming and the end of the age:  “See to it that no one deceives you, because many will come in my name, proclaiming, I’m the Messiah, and they will deceive many people. You’ll begin to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you don’t panic. These things must take place, but the end won’t have come yet, because nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. But all these things are only a beginning of agonies.”  Could all these events happen between the crucifixion of the Lord and the 70 AD destruction of the Temple? The religious authorities in Jerusalem were determined to quench any talk of the resurrection and to arrest the leaders and smother the message of this new faith. The Roman dictatorship did not want rebellion and so followed the requests of the Pharisees and other Jewish leaders. Rebellion and lawlessness happened despite the caution. There were wars and rumors of wars with nations rising against nations. Deception and false Christs were evident in the book of Acts, so we can assume those were happening.

In Matthew 24:9-14: Jesus states, “Then they’ll hand you over to suffer and will kill you, and you’ll be hated by all the nations on account of my name. Then many people will fall away, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people, and because lawlessness will increase, the love of many people will grow cold. But the person who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the inhabited world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

Heavy persecution unfortunately happened to the disciples and the Church. The religious leaders executed James the brother of Jesus and stoned to death Stephen. Believers fled their homes and moved to other cities across the Jordan river as they fled Roman edicts issued against Christians throughout Judea.

What does the phrase “and then the end will come” mean here. In Jewish tradition it suggests an end to both the heavy persecution by Rome and the religious leaders but also an end to their present evil age and the beginning of a glorious new age. Soon Rome under Caesar Constantine would accept Christianity and the Gospel would spread throughout the Roman Empire. During and after the siege and destruction of Jerusalem the Roman forces and the religious zealots fought each other for years. The Church had to flee but was able to regroup and survive in various areas inside and outside Israel as archeology shows evidence of Churches in the Decapolis, Macedonia, Greece, Italy, Spain, Egypt, and Turkey.

In Matthew 24:15-20 Jesus states, “So when you see the destructive desecration, mentioned by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place (let the reader take note), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. Anyone who’s on the housetop must not come down to get what is in his house, and anyone who’s in the field must not turn back to get his coat.  ‘How terrible it will be for women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days! Pray that it may not be in winter or on a Sabbath when you flee”

In this passage Jesus gave a warning to those in Jerusalem warning them to prepare to flee to the mountains of Judea. The Zealot rebellion around Judea begins 30 years later in 66 AD followed by the Roman siege in April of 70 AD. Jesus tells his disciples and the early church to leave Jerusalem before they are entrapped by this conflict. It does not refer to events in our future. Why do we know this? In the Matthew passage Jesus says “flee to the mountains” which is different than what happens at the “end of time” when Jesus sets foot on the Mount of Olives and the mountain splits in two. The believers in modern Jerusalem will flee directly to the Dead Sea area and will not need to “flee to the mountains.” They will not have to flee upwards and southward but will flee through the split open eastern wall of Jerusalem and through the split open Mount of Olives in the East and then downward to the Dead Sea. This will be a quicker and safer route. Zechariah 14:5 explains, “You will run away through my mountain valley…you will flee, as you fled the earthquake under King Uzziah. And so the Lord my God will come with his holy ones to accompany you.” Jesus Christ will guide and protect them and then return with them to establish the Kingdom of God in Jerusalem where Jesus puts His throne. This will begin the Millennium with a “Temple of the Lord” which has a throne and not the Ark of the Covenant.

Another passage in the Old Testament that critics use to “prove” that a pre-Millennium Temple will exist on the present Temple Mount is the vision that Ezekiel has. Ezekiel sees a glowing man with a measuring rod and line at the gate of Jerusalem (Ezekiel 40:3-4). He is measuring the “new temple” which represents the New Testament believers and not a physical Temple. In II Corinthians 6:16, Paul teaches us what God’s plan is: “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the real temple. That temple is within each believer and the Church as a whole.

The Futurist claims that the passage in Ezekiel 40 and later in Revelation 11 points to a new temple that will exist on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount before the Millennium. This is a failure in interpretation. The images of a Temple in both Ezekiel 40-48 and Revelation 11 are a symbolic fulfillment of the Promises and Prophecies made throughout scripture. Examples are in the following verses:

1) Ephesians 2:19, ISV states:

That is why you are no longer strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, the Messiah] Jesus himself being the cornerstone. In union with him the whole building is joined together and rises into a holy sanctuary for the Lord.

Jesus Christ is our “cornerstone” that fulfilled the Promises in the Old and New Testament. His spiritual Temple stands on the “foundation of the apostles and prophets” who received and recorded the Word of God and acted upon the commands and inspiration given by God. Even the Qumran community that interacted with John the Baptist and wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls, believed that Ezekiel’s Temple was a spiritual temple. These Essenes helped shepherd the early Church. They hid their scrolls including the book of Daniel in caves. Did they understand that the Messiah was due at any moment and that John the Baptist had baptized him? John did declare openly that he was lesser and Jesus much greater.  Did they hide their scrolls for fear that they would be attacked by Roman forces during the entire period when believers and zealots were on the run?

2) Ezekiel’s vision beginning in Chapter 40 goes on for many chapters describing a symbolic place where his people will dwell forever, Ezekiel 43:7: “Son of dust, this is the place of my throne and my footstool, where I shall remain, living among the people of Israel forever. They and their kings will not defile my holy name any longer through the adulterous worship of other gods or by worshiping lifeless idols erected by their kings.”

The statement that God has his throne there forever implies that this is a picture of heaven and not the millennium. The millennium has a limit of 1000 years.

3)  Revelation 11:1 shows the Apostle John using a measuring rod to measure the Temple of God and the altar. John is measuring the Church and the number of martyrs that have given up their lives and are under the altar. Revelation 6:11, states that Jesus Christ tells the martyrs under the altar “to rest a little longer until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers was completed, who would be killed.” God has set the number of saints that will be martyred before His return. Jesus also measures the number of believers as the Gospel reaches people worldwide. The outer courtyard is not “measured” because it represents the number of those who persecute God’s people and who will “trample the Holy City for three- and one-half years,” Rev. 11:2.

All these key passages support the fact that a Jewish Temple for Jews to worship in is not built anytime in the future. The Ezekiel Temple is a spiritual Temple in Heaven representing perfection.

Prophecy Flying in the Dark – Chapter 1 & 2

Chapter 1

The traditional KJV interpretation of the Angel Gabriel’s message to Daniel is as follows:  “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,” Daniel 9:27.  Can you understand the message relayed?  The failure to give a clear yet accurate interpretation of this passage is a cause for concern. Who is the “he” in this passage? Modern day translators declare that the “he” is the Anti-Christ, yet according to proper grammatical analysis the subject here should be the “anointed prince.” This identity switch has flipped the meaning of current Prophecy projections and warnings.

The prior verse gives us the answer: “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.” The “appointed prince” is in the singular whereas the “people of the coming commander” is in the plural tense. The “he” in verse twenty-seven is also in the singular and therefore should refer to the “appointed prince” and not to the “people of the commander.” The appointed prince is also the primary subject and since verses 26 and 27 belong in the same paragraph or in the same line of thought, the “he” in verse twenty-seven must be the “Anointed Prince.”  He, the “Anointed Prince” and not the commander, “shall confirm the Covenant with many for one week.” The word “confirm” is also incorrect. We will see that the favored translation of the Hebrew “gabar” is the word, “prevails,” not “confirms” and gives the message even more divine emphasis.

The commander’s army is the enemy of the Jews and will “destroy both the city (Jerusalem) and the Temple.” This happened at 70 A.D., and the commander did not confirm a covenant.  To suggest that this commander will “confirm” a covenant 2000 or more years in the future is not only a poor translation but also a very uncharacteristic message that God’s special messenger would relay. After all Gabriel was appointed to announce great news concerning God’s coming Messiah. This would definitely include God’s spectacular Covenant of Grace allowing anyone to be in a covenant relationship with Him forever.

This flip in translation caused teachers, pastors, and authors around the world to misunderstand and then misrepresent one of the most important prophecies and announcements in the Word of God.  Following the crowd is not a good excuse.  It is important for everyone to understand that the New Covenant “prevails” and this inauspicious commander and his false covenant do not.

The “anointed prince” is Jesus Christ who is in Heaven directing Gabriel to make this important announcement to Daniel. Why would Jesus ignore sharing the purpose of His birth, mission, and resurrection which “prevails” against sin and death and all forms of wickedness, anxiety, and fear? This is the power and hope of Gabriel’s message to the exiled nation and to all of us who read and study the book of Daniel. If any of this seems insignificant or obtuse follow along in the following chapters and you will clear some of the prophecy fog in your mind and receive a blessing as promised by Jesus Christ in the book of Revelation.

Why would Jesus Christ ignore his Promise to Israel and waste time announcing Satan’s future commander as a covenant maker 2000 years into the future? And why would God jump time from 538 BC (the time of Gabriel’s announcement) to 33 A.D. (the time of the Triumphal entrance as promoted by the futurist movement) and then leap forward again into an unknown time over 2000 years later (when the commander makes a false covenant with Israel)? This timeline skips Jesus’ three-and-a-half years of ministry beginning in 27 A.D. to then give the prophetic stage to Satan and his Anti-Christ at an unknown time far into the future?

This odd twist in the futurist interpretation of God’s message would demote the 4 Gospels and most of the New Testament. It ignores the promises and prophecies fulfilled in the New Testament.  How could this time jump be relevant in a Messianic message for the Jew who is looking for answers to their desperate situation? This is a dreadful manipulation of God’s purpose and eternal message of Grace and steadfast Love. It is a folly that must be exposed and that is why this book is so important.

The Archangel Gabriel also gave important messianic announcements to the Temple priest Zechariah and to the Virgin Mary. It would be out of character for him to digress from the theme of this divine message to introduce an Anti-Christ as the one who makes a covenant over 2000 years later. 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? And why would Garbriel ignore the “desolation” that Christ would suffer at the hands of this coming “commander?” The entire message recorded by Daniel would also comfort Jewish generations that would go through the trials of rebuilding Jerusalem and four hundred years of silence and severe testing.

We should note the three mistakes in translation as we adopt proper parsing, word meaning, and grammar:

1) The correct Hebrew translation for the verb “gabar” is not the word “confirms” but is the more commanding word “prevails.” The word “confirm” is only a secondary translation. 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 humanity. 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 Daniel 9:27 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. An obvious 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, and when he appeared alone before the High Priest who blasphemed God, the Jewish people that rejected him over Barabas, and Pilate who condemned Him.  He was again “made desolate” when he had to carry the cross on which he would be nailed to and died on, bearing the sins of all mankind past, present, and future. Nobody in history has been made so desolate for the sake of others. The commander or Anti-Christ was not desolate.

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

3)  It is unfortunate that verse twenty-seven is one of the most misinterpreted verses in the entire Bible. In some versions the word “destroyed” replaces the word “desolate.” Again, “destroyed” is the wrong word to use for we know that Christ cannot be destroyed. He is “made desolate” when he is beaten up, scourged, and placed on a cross where He redeems the sins of the world.  Jesus Christ is not “destroyed.”  This incorrect translation is a result of improper interpretation throughout the Daniel 9:26-27 passage.

Improper translation in Daniel leads to wrong conclusions made in studying and teaching both Daniel and the book of Revelation. These teachers of prophecy claim that Daniel 9:26-27 proves that Revelation foretells an Abomination of Desolation in an “end time Temple” in Jerusalem. This is a false conclusion, for the book of Revelation never mentions the Abomination of Desolation.

Jesus warned His followers to look for the “desolation” spoken of by “Daniel the prophet.” This desolation began when Nero placed his image in the Temple in 67 AD and executed both Peter and Paul. The Roman siege of Jerusalem continued into 70 A.D. when the Roman commander Titus finally breached the walls and desecrated the Temple by burning it down. This is the final desecration and occurs 38 years after Jesus gave his Olivett Discourse in Matthew 24. Those in Jerusalem who did not flee with “just the clothes on their back” would die in Jerusalem. That is why Jesus warned his disciples to quickly leave Jerusalem when they saw Nero “set himself up as God” in the Temple in 67 A.D.

Teachers who are influenced by futurism point to Revelation 13:8-14, to say that “all who inhibit the earth will worship” the first beast and the second beast “is empowered to give life to the image of the beast.”  They claim this place of worship with a beast empowered to create a living image must take place in a future Temple built on the Temple Mount. And they claim this event is the Abomination of Desolation. Note that the book of Revelation does NOT state the location where any of these events happen.  If they happen, they could take place at the Vatican or in anywhere on earth including your home.

When asked by the author, no one attending futurist Prophecy conferences knew this and just took it for granted that Revelation mentions the Abomination of Desolation. The futurists declare that II Thessalonians 2:4 verifies their claim that “he opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god and object of worship. As a result, he seats himself in the sanctuary] of God and himself declares that he is God.” However, they must admit that Paul wrote this prior to Nero placing the Abomination of Desolation in Herod’s Temple in 67 A.D. soon after he executes Peter and Paul. Thus, the sanctuary is the A.D. 67 Temple, and the Anti-Christ type was Nero, the Emperor of the Roman Empire. This also fits Daniel’s beast empire vision with iron teeth.  There will not be a future Temple with a future Abomination.

Chapter 2  One Week equals Two 3.5-year Divine Periods

John the Apostle authored the Book of Revelation 20 years after the real Abomination of Desolation happened in Jerusalem in 67 AD. That is why it is not part of John’s vision given to him by Jesus Christ and portrayed in the book of Revelation. Both Paul and Jesus warned about the abomination of desolation because it had not happened. It would happen soon after Nero executed Paul on June 29, 67 A.D. In the Olivett Discourse Jesus warned his disciples about an abomination of desolation that would soon come and told them to flee before a three-and-a-half-year Roman attack would trap them. Before Titus, “the commander” destroyed the Temple and killed everyone in the siege, three other Caesars would enforce their control in Judea and Samaria that would lead to conflicts with zealots and heavy persecution against all Jews.

In summary the main theme of Gabriel’s message in about 539 BC was to announce to Daniel and to those who read Daniel’s scroll that a specific time was set for the Messiah to appear. This Messiah or Prince is Jesus Christ who proclaims the Kingdom of God and ministers for half a week, or 3.5 years. He is crucified near the end of this period. This represents the first 3.5-years. His death and resurrection end the need for sacrifices and offerings. During this “desolation” He redeems mankind. The Resurrection ends the need for a Temple since Jesus Christ is “the Temple” that He said would be “raised up after 3 days” and He is the New Covenant that redeems all those who place their trust in Him. He told the Pharisees that the “Kingdom of God is within us.” All who receive Him are a spiritual “Temple of God.”

The second 3.5-year period entitled “The Wrath of God” by Jesus Christ, John, and Paul was orchestrated by God from the beginning of Time to occur much later in the last generation.  We are that “last generation” as defined by the parable of the Fig tree in Matthew 24. This parable and the Great Sign of Revelation 12 are discussed intensively in the author’s first book: Cosmic Crossroad Countdown: The Fig Tree and the Prophetic Generation.  It will help you understand that the “WEEK” spoken about in Daniel 9:27 is divided prophetically into two 3.5-year periods—and only the first one has been fulfilled.

Alert #1: 3.5 YEAR BOOKENDS WITH CHURCH AGE INBETWEEN

Our generation began with the birth of the nation of Israel and may mark the end of the Church age. The Church age represents a 2000-plus-year span of time, like the 69-week span of time in Daniel’s 70-week Prophecy. This means that the final 3.5-year period of Daniel’s 70th week may start at any moment in the future. This will happen after the rapture and at a time when the God’s Wrath will impact earth as the sin of the world is judged. Jesus discusses this final 3.5-year period of wrath in his last discourse with the disciples and never mentions a 7-year period. Even though Jesus referred to Daniel’s 70-weeks prophecy, He did not warn of a “Wrath of God” that would last 7 years. Why not? Instead, he infers that his ministry represents only the first half of the 7-year period.  This will be detailed more in Chapter 3.

Jesus warned His followers to look for the “desolation” spoken of by “Daniel the prophet.” This desolation began when Nero placed his image in the Temple in 67 AD and executed both Peter and Paul. The Roman siege of Jerusalem continued into 70 A.D. when the Roman commander Titus finally breached the walls and desecrated the Temple by burning it down. This is the final desecration and occurs 38 years after Jesus gave his Olivett Discourse in Matthew 24. Those in Jerusalem who did not flee with “just the clothes on their back” would die in Jerusalem. That is why Jesus warned his disciples to quickly leave Jerusalem when they saw Nero “set himself up as God” in the Temple in 67 A.D. As stated earlier, this is the abomination seated in the Temple described by Paul in II Thessalonians. After this Temple is destroyed by Titus there will not be another Temple. nor another desecration.

Twenty years after the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem, John the Apostle wrote in Revelation about a time of “great tribulation” that would last 3.5 years.  The “Abomination of Desolation” had already happened in Jerusalem and now Jesus Christ visiting John from Heaven gives a vision of end time events that will happen on earth and in Heaven. Chapters 11, 12, and 13 describe events that last a total of three-and one-half years. Jesus does not describe any 7-year period of tribulation nor any 7-year “Wrath of God.”

Surely his detailed visions would reveal something about a 7-year judgment or wrath to come. But Jesus Christ never makes this declaration!  This clearly suggests that He fulfilled the first 3.5 years of the 70th week and therefore was the Covenant Maker who ended sacrifices and offerings for eternity. Therefore, when Gabriel declares, “he will make a binding covenant for one week,” the Binding Covenant is the New Covenant that spans the time from His Resurrection all the way into our time and beyond into the final 3.5 years. The Week of time ends up being thousands of years-The Gospel Age of the Church.

In conclusion: 1) The Word of God reveals that we will be looking forward to a three-and one-half-year Wrath of God and not to a “7-Year Wrath of God” popularized by the futurist prophecy movement. 2) Jesus Christ has fulfilled the first 3.5 years of Daniel’s 70th Week Prophecy. This means that both the “covenant” and the betrayal following that covenant by the “commander” or Anti-Christ will not happen. Both were fulfilled by Jesus Christ. What Jesus and Paul described as “abomination of desolation” happened in their generation, in about 67 A.D. under the leadership of Nero and eventually Titus.  3) Therefore, the Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Jesus in the Olivette Discourse and by Paul in his letter to the Thessalonians has already been fulfilled.

4) And note that there will be an Anti-Christ, but he will have “authority for only three-and one-half years.” 5) The covenant that Gabriel announces is the New Covenant given unconditionally to all who receive Jesus Christ as Savior and not Satan’s or the Anti-Christ’s covenant. 6) We are not looking forward to an “abomination of desolation” that Darby and others claim will happen in a Temple on the Temple Mount.  7) Both the Jews and secular believers do not want a Temple. A new Temple on the Temple Mount will not be constructed. What appears to be a minor issue has become a major deviation of Truth concerning the whole of end time Biblical Prophecy.

The Final Countdown

Understanding the time: seeing with eyes that see and hearing with ears that hear as commanded by Jesus Christ and given as a warning by Him and all the major prophets.

For you who understand the purpose and importance of Biblical Prophecy understand that the Pope for the first time visited the G7 meeting of the Free Worlds Economic Powers —linking the Vatican to the Ai and new technologies and the future one world government all of which leads up to the 10 horns or 10 toes of the End time “super-power” that will be the base principality for the Anti-Christ takeover of the world.
For you who seek Truth and Reality– you have been blinded by the world and church system to see with eyes that cannot see God’s Great Sign for the end-time. Remember the Bethlehem Star? Take note that the ruling powers, the leading scholars, the scribes, the religious leaders and the elites all of whom should have known the Signs that God was giving them about the Messiah missed the Largest Most spectacular Sign given since the Rainbow in Noah’s time. They missed the Sign in the sky, the lights that God gave to mankind for “appointed times” (Moedim”—the word used in Genesis 1:14).
God divided night and day with those billions of lights for appointed times not just for seasons as our blinded interpreters have beguiled us with. God put those stars and planets in our Universe with orbits to define an “appointed time”. He set it up to point to an exact city in an exact kingdom and an exact time—only God can do this. This was the most important time in human history—and thus gave announced it in a massive billboard with incredibly precise movement of stars, planets, sun and moon. NOW understand this the same thing has happened with God’s “Great Sign of the Woman” in Revelation 12.
Incredibly our blinded leaders including most pastors and TV evangelists/ prophecy gurus have ignored this Sign or completely dismissed it as not important! Why? Wake up! Why would God call it a Great Sign and place it in the middle of the futurist Prophetic book of Revelation? Yet most of these same self-proclaimed experts claim that this sign happened at the beginning of time (official position of the Baptist Convention). What? Why would God call it a great sign if humanity was not around to see it? And why even mention it? No, this Sign is for us now. It also cannot happen after Chapter 11 even though it is found in Chapter 12. Why do we know this–because the next paragraph describes the war in heaven and Satan being permanently cast down to earth “for a short time.” Thus, God is telling us that this Great Sign does NOT follow the chronological order of events in Revelation.
The FACT is all the Sun, moon, Planet movements, and Stars required to create the Sign + 5 more highly significant God-markers occurred together on one moment in history to get the attention of the world. This Sign marks the Lord’s 2nd Coming just as they were laid out to mark His 1st Coming in 3AD (to see the evidence supporting this, read the book Cosmic Crossroad Countdown: The Invisible War & Final Chapter).
Those 5 levels of evidence include 1) those “lights” appearing together in the right position ro fulfill the Great Sign 2) those same lights performed 3 amazing pre and post movements to get our attention- one was that Jupiter stayed in the womb of Virgo for just over 9 months in retrograde motion which is the normal gestation period for a baby and Second before this Jupiter traveled with Venus in a conjunction for exactly 400 days throughout the Solar System before they both enter the womb. Then third: Venus, Mars, and Mercury end up aligning with each other pointing directly at the great star Regulus in Leo –meaning that the sign points to Regulus=Royalty, with Jesus as Mars (Man), Mercury (the divine messenger) and Venus (as the High Priest- or the Morning Star.
The next level has to do with extraneous stellar or other lights= Next to all this is the Star Spica in Virgo which means “seed”- pointing to the Prophecy in Gen. 3:15 about the seed of the Woman and the seed of the Serpent. Nearby is the comet titled P 67 pointing to the release of Jerusalem to God’s people. Each of these “lights” can be compared to the “lights” that star maps show appeared at the birth of Jesus in 2-3BC.
The 3rd level points to all the generational periods that pointed to the date of this Great Sign in Sept. 23, 2017. You had the 50, 70, 100, and 500 year connections to major events in history related to the re-birth and liberation of Israel and Jerusalem. The 4th layer were the Festivals–each pointing to the Lord’s return and this Sign happened the day after Rosh Hashanah and the beginning of the Feast of Trumpets and the 10 Days of Awe.
The 5th level points to historical markers that have since happened to cement the importance of this date: As stated in the first book- the Lord forwarned me of an Invisible attack related to this Sign and it happened soon later and during this period as lies tried to unseat the President and then the “invisible” Covit-19 hit. 80 days later we saw President Trump declare his promise to declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel and to move the Embassy. Likewise, this marked the beginning of a 7-year foreshadow of the 7- year Tribulation which I believe will soon happen.
We just saw the most horrendous attack on Jews since the holocaust as another warning. We have seen the Pope appear at the G7, the growth of Hamas in popularity even here in America, the great threat from our open border getting more real every day, the daily mistakes and missteps by our Mr. Magoo president, and the blindness happening in our American intelligence agencies and media, the gross lies being broadcast by liberal media of every kind, and the rebellion reaching deep into policy making throughout America- and the world resulting in the increase of perversion and the attack on our children.
NOW realize that Jesus spoke about the “last generation” after the budding of the fig tree–which I believe is the re-birth of Israel and 2017 marked the end of the 70-year prophetic generation BUT in His Mercy God gave us an 80-year generation marking a New Beginning which would happen at its end. That takes us to election time –which I believe will mark the beginning of a Great Event that will shake the whole world. It could be war, the fall of America, a natural calamity, an attack on Israel —or all of these.

Eye Opening Mysteries Answered

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, elements of Daniel’s Prophecy and historical markers to point to His next coming? A Solar Eclipse with Blood moons, a Virgin with child, a Dragon with a Lion, a comet titled P67, a horribly evil invasion on October 7 against God’s Promised nation, ancient mysteries and the prophetic number 7, Iran’s attack against Israel, and today’s uncertainty and anxiety being felt at all levels of society point to a surprise answer that will solve the Puzzle of the Ages.

Dr. Hofmann will show how carefully God intervenes in history linking the natural to the supernatural as His promises are fulfilled in sequences of time marked out by 6-Days in Creation. In the center is Jerusalem, the mystery of New Beginnings, three prophetic books and the divine connection of Festivals & Jubilees. This is a warning beacon in our Time to draw us to Truth and to solve the puzzle of the century before it is too late. Just as the scholars and scribes missed the signs 2000 years ago, people may miss divine joy unless they read this book. It is a sign that points to both Israel and to the United States.

The Bible has many mysteries, but the greatest mystery linked to Revelation is rarely discussed. Recently a renowned Prophecy speaker announced that he was beginning a program on Bible Mysteries. His list did not include Revelation 12, which contains at least 5 major mysteries. Revelation the Key Prophetic book given to us by Jesus Christ himself, is the only book that promises a Blessing to anyone who reads it, hears it, or understands it. Why? Because it is relevant to our faith and to understanding the Return of Jesus Christ, the Judgment of the Earth, and the Kingdom to come including the His Eternal Heaven.

The book centers on Revelation 12 which explains the Great Sign of the Woman and the Casting of Satan and His Angels out of Heaven. It is a Banner Chapter to get our Attention! It cannot be in Chronological order because Chapter 7 presents the martyred saints in heaven, and Chapter 11 reveals the murder of the two Witnesses.  How could Satan kill these saints on earth, if Satan and his angels are still in heaven accusing the Saints in Chapter 12?

You will discover Answers that will make total sense. This enigmatic chapter in Revelation speaks of a Dragon, a Child, a Woman, and an array of stars that form the Great Sign. Nowhere in the Bible does God mention a “great sign” except here. Yet, pastors and other leaders negate this Sign by saying it happened before the beginning of time. So, I ask you, why would God call it “A Great Sign,” if people were not yet on earth to see it. Are our leaders afraid to address this because God states that anyone who changes the meaning of His Revelation will be cursed? Remember God also says that anyone who reads, hears, or understands His Revelation will be Blessed. This makes the Book of Revelation the most important book in the World to read and understand.

Despite the severe warning many Bible translators have taken great liberty in re-interpreting words in Greek to fit their own agenda and prejudices. A good example is the description of the key 4th Horse of the Apocalypse- the only rider and horse that is given a title and that title is Death. Translators claim that the word “Chlooros” can be interpreted as “yellow” or “pale” which is NOT TRUE. We get the word “chlorophyll from Chlooros” and chlorophyll is bright green. The ancient Greek word for yellow is Xanthos and “pale” is not a true color because it can be used to describe many different colors. A pale face is not the same color as a pale horse. In the case of horses it is an off-white. The translator I talked to said it cannot be green because horses are not green. What? So my reply was, “This is NOT an earth-dwelling horse- it is a supernatural horse because Death is riding it.” Maybe God wants us to know that none of the horses are natural horses! The point is the translators are wrong again- and why would God select another White Horse for Death? It undermines the prophetic meaning. So some translators have made up a new color “pale green” even though nowhere in the text does it suggest that color! NOPE, the color is plain jane GREEN – like a green lizard or snake or grass. The same word Chlooros is used in Mark 6:39 when describing the grass that Jesus and others sit on to eat.

God motivated and inspired Dr. Hofmann to write the series because the Tribulation period is fast approaching. He gave Dr. Hofmann the vision of a great scroll opening in the sky with Hebrew letters- and showed him that it was not a dream by separating the scroll into 3 scrolls—each in a Primary color – and bringing them together—was a profound message to him as an artist. Now he sees numbers like 7 as prophetically divine. Things are not going back to normal as the dark pyramid and principalities of evil widen their control and power. These powers include many well-known corporations and lesser-known entities involved in witchcraft and wickedness. Just as with the spread of the invisible Covid, every level and sector of society is being attacked by an invisible wave of natural and supernatural darkness that is full of lies and celebrates evil. God is shaking the Church and believers must keep in prayer. God wants us to stand up and share the Gospel and be both a Light and Salt to a very lost world.

Why is the Great Sign so Important?

The Great Sign of Revelation 12 happened at the end of what prophetic Jews call the Holy Jubilee or the first Jubilee of the Century.  It therefore, marks the beginning of a new time on God’s 50-year calendar.  The Sign also came at the end of the Hebrew year 5777 into 5778 with the 8 standing for both “new beginnings” and since 8=Peh=Mouth,  for God making a new Proclamation.  It occurred right after the Feast of Trumpets and during the 10 Days of Awe which is a time for Holy preparation of both ones heart and the atmosphere within the Holy of Holies before the Day of Atonement.  God is in essence announcing that we all need to prepare our hearts for His return is emminent. The 777 is for perfection and the Spirit of God working in a mighty way as with Joshua and the 7 priests with 7 Trumpets blowing them on the 7th day.

The Great Sign like the Star of Bethlehem involved many lights pointing to the birth of Jesus Christ & the nation of Israel, and using the Sun, Moon, Stars, along with 3 Planets in a very unique arrangement over a period of many months.  Just as with the Star of Bethlehem the religious leaders failed to see with eyes that see and failed their commission.  Satan successfully distracted the “eyes” of man so they were “blind guides” just as Jesus warned.  Our church was distracted by those “agitators and distractors” claimng that Planet X or Nibiru would collide and destroy the earth.  This is one more reason why the Sign was real!

Read the first verse of Revelation 12 and realize “the Sun on her shoulder” would blind anyone viewing the Great Sign and therefore, no one could see the Sign as the sun moved into place. Both the “moon on her feet” and the “garland of twelve stars” would be Invisible to human eyes. So why would God call it a Great Sign? Why would He use the word “appeared” if we could not actually see it?  Well, the astronomers and those with star-maps knew that the Sign was happening as the constellations, moon, and Sun moved into configuration. God is never wrong, nor does He use bad thinking to reach or teach us. He knew our astronomers would see the sign. Because the Sign was invisible could God be telling us that invisible forces would invade our space and affect our lives. He has been trying to get our attention for a long time.

Before we go any further it is important that we grasp the spirit of these verses in relation to the whole of Scripture. For instance, when John speaks of the Dragon in Revelation 12, we know that he is speaking of Satan. We can also conclude that John in Chapter 12:1 is describing a Sign in the stars which will involve constellations Draco, Virgo, and Leo, plus the Sun, Moon, and 3 Planets. The 4 planets or wandering stars that match the Bethlehem Star Sign tell us that there is significant meaning to the Sign related to Jesus Christ. Is it about His Return?

This is where science comes in. The constellation Leo which is right next to the “head and shoulders” of Virgo has only 9 bright stars or lights and needs 3 other lights to make 12. Common sense tells us that John is not referring to all stars visible and invisible that are part of Leo, but only to those 9 that can be seen on a starry night. We celebrate the fact that God brings 3 planets (Mars, Mercury, and Venus) into the scene at the right moment and in the right place to total twelve lights. He brought Venus, the “bright morning star,” into conjunction with Jupiter 400 days earlier and directed them to parade across the solar system as they moved into the womb of Virgo. Jupiter signifies “Authority or Justice” and Venus the “Spirit of God or the High Priest.”

The symbolism is obvious for Jesus, born of the Virgin, is linked to both the Lion of Judah in the line of David, and to the “Morning Star” Venus. Jesus states, “I have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright morning star. “The morning star” may have also led the Magi in their quest. This will be revealed later in the book.

The study of the stars in ancient times was called the Mazzaroth (Zodiac) and required years of study to fully understand. They knew that God named the stars and that some stars were necessary for night navigation. The Mazzaroth calculates with accuracy the solar year by using charts of the constellations. Each of the 12 constellations correlates to an assigned month connected to the twelve tribes of Israel. To the ancient Hebrew, the Mazzaroth and movement of the stars was a calendar to determine harvest time and their cultural identity. The birth of Jesus was announced by movements in this star map. So, it makes sense that Jesus instructs us to watch for signs in the sun, moon, and stars. After all He created and named them for a reason. The leaders of Israel were blinded by power and greed and did not look up to see the Starry Sign above them. They stated that they did not “want any King but king Caesar.”

Astronomers all over the world, however, were awed by the 400-day conjunction of Venus and Jupiter that ended when Jupiter went into a nine-month retrograde motion inside the “womb” of Virgo while Venus moves on, eventually aligning itself with Mercury, Mars, and Regulus; all part of the Great Sign of Revelation 12. The bright morning star Venus heralded the beginning of the Sign. In a perfect alignment it joins Mars (the Son of God) and Mercury (the messenger or the Word of God) and together they point at Regulus which means “Royalty or King.” Could Venus represent the Spirit of God which guided Israel in the Wilderness? It is the Spirit of God that impregnates the Virgin Mary and gave birth to the Savior.

In about 700 BC, Isaiah proclaims this about the Lord’s birth, “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” Jesus, the bright morning star, bring eternal life, and remove the “shadow of death” which is our sin. Prior to the Great Sign, the 4 Blood Moons, appeared in a two-year span during Jewish High Holy Days. Many think that they reflect the blood sacrifice that Jesus made to pay for our sin, and that the world needs to repent and turn to Him for He shall soon Return.

As God’s Law or Truth exposes our sin, the blood that Christ shed for us replaces it. The blood moons which appeared on all four corners of the earth also draw attention to Jews in Israel and worldwide who are steeped in pagan rituals and live in gross sin with high abortion rates, gay rights celebrations, and pornography. The “Woman” in the Great Sign is Israel which flees into the wilderness for exactly 3 ½ years guided by Jesus who protects and restores her. It reflects back to Israel’s 40-year wilderness experience when the nation was judged. God appoints numbers such as 40 and 400 to remind us of His “appointed time” for testing. Yom Kippur was also an “appointed time” set up by God to atone for the nation’s sin. God will use numbers as markers to communicate His order and plan to fulfill His Promise.

  • A 400-day journey of Venus across the Solar System to Virgo. Most of this journey happened soon after the 4th blood moon. 
  • The 2017 the Great Sign happened the day after Rosh Hashanah and at the beginning of the 10 Days of Awe, and 3) President Trump declared that he would move the American Embassy to Jerusalem “80 days” after this Great Sign appeared on September 23, 2017.  Note, also that the Great Sign happened after 3 1/2  years after the first Blood Moon that happened on April 15, 2014.  Is that God’s way of casting a shadow to remind us of the first 3 1/2 years of the 7 year Tribulation that will come quickly killing 1/4 of mankind.
  • The Great Sign happened at the point of 3 amazing generational periods: the 50th year after the miracle 67 war that liberated Jerusalem; the 70th year after the war that delivered the nation of Israel in 1947; and the 100th year of the Balfour Agreement which promised the Jews a homeland; and the an additional epic change- the 500th year after the Ottoman empire conquered Jerusalem which happened the same year that Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis on the Chapel door in Wittenberg.
  • The message of the Great Sign has been been confirmed by recent historical events such as the “Invisible agent” that attacked every level and sector of society affecting everyone in one way or another.  Another Invisible agent was Satan who has compromised the values and stability of the family, democratic governments, and institutions worldwide.  We are seeing the fabric of society being torn in two as evil is declared good and good evil.  7-years after the Great Sign we have seen Iran attack Israel for the first time and according to the Hebrew calendar we saw the barbaric event on Oct. 7th, 2023 that recalls Rachels cry for the children killed by Herod in Bethlehem.  This is a event that has changed the dynamics of diplomacy and the moral compass worldwide. Evil is winning the hearts of the youth and Christianity along with virtue is being pushed back.  For this reason alone God may soon decide to Return.
  • Right now the Cosmos or the mid-heavens are being used to threaten the whole world. The U.S. and Japan tried to pass a resolution in the U.N. to prevent the use of nuclear weapons in space.  Russia vetoed it.  They recently launched a hyper-secret mobile satellite that many think may have a nuclear weapon like an EMP to knock out all our communications.  Putin is very angry at Nato and the US for armng Ukraine and has little to lose by starting a nuclear war that he thinks Russia can win.  Iran is also eager to obliterate Israel with a nuclear missile.  And China is eager to conquer Taiwan.  Biden appears very weak in the world scene and has not made a proper counter move against Chinese nor Russian aggression against our diplomats, our ciitizens here in America, and our businesses overseas.

Below is a Summary of the book Cosmic Crossroad Countdown: The Invisible Warn and Last Chapter as it appears at the Publisher- go to CosmicCrossroad.com

Just as God used the Prophet Daniel’s prophetic scrolls, and heavenly lights to point to Christ’s first coming, does it not make sense that He will again use Daniel and the Heavenly Lights?  He gave us the Great Sign of Revelation 12 which showed Saturn moving in retrograde motion for over 9 months in the womb of Virgo and then gave us three planets -Mars, Mercury and Venus aligning in perfect arrow- formation at the great star Regulus which sits at the “heart of the constellation Leo.”   Before this He had both Venus and Jupiter travel in conjunction across the solar system for exactly 400 days.  He also gave us the four Blood moons and 2 Solar Eclipses, a Virgin with child, a Dragon with a Lion, and the comet titled P67 to make his point clear.  However, knowing how “blind religious leaders” were blinded  then and now, God added important information from the Genesis Record and its divine Pattern, along with Daniel’s 70 week’s warning and many historical markers to point to His next coming? An example is the formation of the nation of Israel.

Dr. Hofmann will help you unravel the puzzle of the ages and see how carefully God unfolds history linking his Return to a sequence of time that will surprise you. In the center is the birth of Jesus Christ, a mistake made in the annals of history, the Great Sign of Revelation 12, God’s city Jerusalem, the mystery of sevens and eights, and the divine connection of Festivals and Generations. God has given us this warning beacon to draw us to Him before it is too late. He wants us to help Rescue others before it is too late.

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 the book of Revelation in the dust bin of “ancient history,”  Jesus Christ declares that there is a special blessing for anyone today who reads it, hears it, or understands it, and a curse to anyone who changes it or adds to it. Why? Because God knows it has the key that leads us to Him and to His game plan.

Revelation 12 is anchored in the birth of both Christ and the nation of Israel linking it all to another Sign- the casting out of Satan and his angels from Heaven. It stands as a warning to all mankind for Satan is furious because he now knows that he has just a “short time.” The only thing protecting the world right now is the Church and the Holy Spirit in believers. By putting the Great Sign in the middle of His Revelation and not in chronological order, God is trying to warn us of this special purpose.

 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 opening up 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’s dark pyramid with its principalities of evil is growing by the hour with the help of AI and well crafted lies like global warming.  Well-known corporations and lesser-known entities involved in wickedness are under the spell. The horribly evil invasion on October 7th and Iran’s first attack against Israel on April 14, along with the irrational celebration at our centers of learning that followed, point to an acceleration of this wickedness.  Everything in the first book of this series came true including the invisible invasion of Covid and its effect on every level and sector of society.  God’s time table is set and He wants the world to know the truth and to seek Him with open hearts before it is too late.

Dr. Hofmann’s Book Reviews

Book 1:  Dentistry Xposed:  DentistryXposed by Dr. Peter Hofmann is a book written by a man with 43 years of experience as an urban and wilderness dentist. The first few pages of this book got me hooked, as it promises to be a health advocate for those who cannot afford the modern hospital. The truth is that every human being has one or more health concerns. Coming across a book that promises cost-effective tips on staying healthy will surely get your attention. If you want to know about the challenges of modern dentistry, foods that help fight tooth decay, the importance of fibrous foods, and the only recommended healthy sugar, then make sure you finish reading this book.

This book focuses mainly on dentistry practice, the challenges of a modern-day dentist, and the way forward. In advising on how to choose a dental treatment, the author advised you to wait or go online to websites like PubMed or Medline when in doubt about a medical procedure.

The thing I like about this book is that it made me aware of my teeth. I never knew that teeth could erode from over-brushing. My prior conviction is that, just like a dirty cloth, the more you wash and brush your teeth, the cleaner you are. This book proved otherwise. Also, this book said it is good practice to rotate the use of a toothbrush, allowing each to dry out before reuse. This practice prevents bacterial recontamination.

After reading this book, I discovered that one of the greatest enemies of the tooth is sugar. If the world spends fewer billions to produce sugar when compared to the trillions it costs to treat sugar-related illnesses, then to tackle sugar diseases, we have to tackle its production. The healthy sugar recommended for use in this book is xylitol. If you want to learn about the health benefits of this healthy sugar, read the rest of this book.

Another thing I like about this book is the use of diagrams at some points to drive home the writer’s point. I admire the labeling of the parts of the teeth and their functions. Also, this book has a lot of words unique to dentistry. To make reading easier, the author did not leave the readers in the dark but defined the technical terms used in this book. I give it 5 stars.

Book #2  Cosmic Crossroad Countdown—the 3rd book in this exciting Trilogy.

Dr. Peter Hofmann, author of Cosmic Crossroad Countdown: The Invisible War & Final Chapter, unveils the coming events that will shape the future of the world. The series of events will challenge the status quo and bring about a new world order.  Dr. Hofmann draws from the ancient prophecies of the Bible and other sources to warn of a great and powerful war between the forces of light and darkness. He reveals God’s plan to humble the proud and the elite, and to crush the invisible forces that control the Dark Pyramid of false religions and criminal elements.

Dr. Hofmann says, “We are in the Last Days, and the Hour is near as forewarned by the prophets in the Old Testament and by Jesus Christ, Paul, and Peter in the New Testament.” He explains that God gave us a very significant sign, much like the Bethlehem Star, as a warning of invisible “agents,” both natural and supernatural, that have affected every sector and level of society worldwide.

He believes that the purpose of this book is to wake people up, so that they can make changes in their lives. He states, “People must evaluate their eternal perspective and realize that God is fulfilling the plans He set down throughout ancient time.”

Dr. Hofmann’s book is a testament to God’s love and grace even in this time of trial and uncertainty. He hopes that the book will give strength and courage to those who are facing ever increasing hardship and anxiety.

Cosmic Crossroad Countdown: The Invisible War & Final Chapter is Available at Amazon:  and Barnes & Noble: 

What’s Happening? ..Are We Approaching Completion?

WHAT’S HAPPENING?  Are we in a Time of Divine Completion?

Do you think that all of this is just a coincidence? That an “opposition force” controls most of the largest cities in the world. That this opposition force is going against the free gathering of the church? That as soon as the fruitless impeachment push fails a virus rises. Does God allow a straw house to flourish? Does He honor false pretenses and glorification of the world system? Has the house of worship been corrupted by money, marketing, and self-promotion? Many have led God’s people astray with falsehoods. Many pastors and leaders seem to have believed the lie and lost their heavenly compass.

The homeless, the widow and the orphan point a finger at you. God has sent you warnings, but you have ignored them. The storm clouds have turned black and He is bringing forth His Truth. The earth and everything in it, the world, and its inhabitations, belong to the Lord; for He laid its foundation to the seas and established it on the rivers. Many Christian Academians & intellectuals have not ascended to the mountain of the Lord. They have not shared Truth from His Holy Mountain, nor understood the significance of Mt. Horeb in Arabia. They are blinded by Egypt and have misled His people. They have taught evolution as Bible truth and thus worshipped Creation instead of the Creator. 

Who has clean hands and a pure heart? Who has not set his mind on what is false? And who has not sworn deceitfully and in vain? Who will receive the blessing of  Revelation and righteousness of His salvation? Seek His Truth and  seize being False Teachers, for you will be held accountable as you hurt His children!

God can transform the valley of trouble to the gateway of blessing.  Lift up your heads you gate! Rise up you ancient doors! The King of Glory will come in. He will shake the earth and the foundations of the mountains will tremble. They shake because He burns with anger; smoke will rise from His nostrils and consuming fire will come from His mouth. He will part the heavens and come down, a dark cloud beneath His feet. He will ride on a cloud soaring on the wings of the wind. He is Light and can make darkness His hiding place, and dark storm clouds His canopy. From the radiance of His presence, His clouds sweep onward with hail and blazing coals.

Do not dwell in the Valley of confusion, seek the Glory & Truth of His gateway. Turn the valley of trouble into the gate of hope.  Know that when the LORD thunders from heaven; He shouts to the depths of the sea & will part the foundation of the world.  Heaven will open and judgment will come, so humbly Seek the Lord with all your mind, heart, and soul before it is too late. Jesus said before this happens, “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.”

Encourage one another as the Day draws near. God has numbered the days and He has numbered your day. Do you realize that He gave us a roadmap at the very beginning of Genesis? On the first day He divided darkness from light. This parallels the spiritual division that happened in that first 1000 years. Adam’s sin caused a darkness that divided earth and cast mankind out of the garden of Eden. On the 2nd day God divided the waters which is parallel to what happened in the next 1000 as God flooded the earth dividing the saved from the lost with a global flood. On the 3rd Day God created plants and their seeds which parallels the main event of the 3rd 1000 years, the Abrahamic covenant and God’s Promise that his seed would bless every nation in the world. Then on the 4th Day God created the “Heavenly Lights” which parallels God’s Light as His Prophets spread the Promise of an Eternal Savior throughout the earth. On the 5th Day God made the living creatures which parallels the life and death of the Savior and the regeneration and restoration of mankind; we are made new creations in Him. On the 6th Day God made Man telling him to fill the earth and subdue it, while in that 6th “1000-year period” man would indeed totally subdue the earth taking dominion and spreading the Word of God to all nations. The 7th day was made for rest to enjoy the presence of the Lord; and thus, the Millennium or the last 1000 years will be ruled by the Lord and will be a time of rest and peace with Him.

God has everything planned out and He has a calling for your life, but know this Hebrews 9:27 states that, “It is appointed for men to die once, and after this comes the judgment.” Just as your day is numbered a Grandeur Plan is at Hand. God placed the Heavenly Lights for the seasons and to act as a Sign of things to come.  And He has numbered the days of Civilization and this Earth. It is no coincidence that most of the big cities are now controlled by opposition forces and that China incubated many of the deadly viruses that has threatened the world. Communist China is the red Dragon nation that has persecuted Christians since its founding over 50 years ago. They have counterfeited our products including the American dollar, stolen intellectual property and built a military machine with stolen secrets that is aimed to kill us.  They are a perfect example of what the Dragon is, has been doing, and will do.  In this crazy time “of tossing & roaring” it is time to repent and turn to God.

Here are some Biblical Signs of the End:    1) In the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. 2) Jesus said, “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.” “And this Gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Jesus who quoted the prophet Daniel, also communicated with him saying, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel was told to shut the book until our present time, a time when jet planes and cars speed us across the byways and when knowledge expands to new horizons every day.  This study will show you why this is the time of the end and that His clock has been set. 

3)  Numbers and distinct spans of time play a key role. Twenty, for instance is the number for “Completion” as it was the age of manhood; when one could join the military and give a sacrifice in the Temple. It was a perfect period of waiting or suffering as in Laban’s treatment of Jacob. When added to a 50-year Jubilee time of national remembrance & return, it became a special Prophetic generational 70-year period. Daniel lived in a special prophetic 70-year period that saved the nation of Israel and connected the Jews to Cyrus the Great and Persia. Likewise, the formation of the modern nation of Israel in 1947-48 began a new 70-year prophetic period that connects Israel, Truman, President Trump, and America to the “Great Sign of the Woman in Revelation 12.”  Connected to this sign is WHAT is happening today.  We can conclude that 2020-21 is a super-perfect time of vision, completion of certain prophetic events and a shadow of many new beginnings?  

4) The Great Sign of Revelation 12 appeared on Sept. 23rd, 2017 and was confirmed by astronomers.  It should have drawn the attention of Prophecy and Bible teachers.  Theologians know that “The Woman” gave birth to a Son who is to rule with a rod of iron at least 2000 years after His birth. However, the next phrase “her child was caught up” or “rapturo” does not refer to the Ascension of Jesus Christ.  Jesus had just defeated death, sin & Satan, and was NOT under any threat by this “Dragon.” Therefore, He did not need to be “caught up.” This promise transcends time as it points forward to a future rapture of the Church which will be “caught up” before the Dragon can destroy it.  Just like in Daniel’s 70-week prophecy this End-Time prophecy unhitches from the first part of the verse and points to the future. It is like the Lord’s great declaration from Isaiah 61:1, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me…” which stops mid-verse- with the last part of the promise to be fulfilled 2000 years later.  Likewise, the child in the second part of the verse is now the “Church” which will be pursued and persecuted by Satan for hundreds of years.  Hence the Great Sign is anchored in the past like a sign anchored in concrete. But it points to the future as a sign should. And note the Sign has a long timeline starting with the birth of Jesus and extending to the future rapture and beyond to the Millennium. It functions like Daniel’s 70-week Prophecy by connecting the distant past to the far future.  Both span a period of about 2000 years. Daniel’s final Week has two 3 1/2 periods each having 1260 days. Rev. 12:6, mentions that the Woman flees into the wilderness and is protected by God for 1260 days. Both Daniel and Revelation 12 fit together in a divine template of 3 ½ year periods.

There are other interesting correlations and perplexing parallels revealed in Chapter 12 of both books.  The Twelfth Chapter of Daniel states, “At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people (Israel); and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation even to that time.”  Does the Wrath of God begin here, when Michael must deal with the onslaught of Satan and his angels revealed in Chapter 12 of Revelation? “And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon….so the great dragon was cast out…and his angels were cast out with him.“  Then a warning is given: “Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman (Israel) who gave birth to the male CHILD (now the Church).”

In next chapter John the Revelator sees the “beast rising up out of the sea, having 7 heads and 10 horns, and states that the Beast “was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion…..the dragon gave him his power.” Satan is mad and he intends to destroy the Woman, her offspring, and her child.  In Chapter 7 of the book of Daniel four beasts come out of the Great Sea having been churned by the four winds.  One was like a lion, another like a bear, the other like a leopard, and the last different than all the others having iron teeth and 10 horns.  This last super-Beast is obviously the same “Beast” of Revelation 12 who is described as having characteristics of bear, lion, and leopard.  Does this mean that this final beast is a world-wide beast like the 10 +3 nations that have nuclear weapons (the Iron Teeth)? There are major rumors of war to come in the Kurd-Iran-Turkey corridor and in the Pakistan-China-India region (all having the Iron Teeth),  In Chapter 12 of Daniel the “man clothed in linen (Jesus) tells Daniel, “it shall be for a time, times, and half a time, (which equals to 3 1/2 years) and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.” Both Revelation 12 and Daniel warn of a 3-and one-half year period of severe persecution by the Anti-Christ on the holy people of Israel. It seems that Michael has withdrawn from his position protecting Israel. Is he the “restrainer” in II Thess. 2:8 who “is taken away?”  

In the Word of God, we see the Anti-Christ or Beast rising out of the sea (gentile population) and determined to destroy Israel. These events or effects include “the churning of the sea by the 4 winds.” What causes this stirring or churning and why is the dragon cast out of heaven?  Is he cast out because there is no place for him since the Church has been raptured and he can no longer be the accuser of the saints?  Is the rapture itself the “churning of the seas?”  Certainly, the rapture will cause massive chaos and concern among the people of all nations.  Where else do we see the 4 winds?  In Rev. 7:1 the 4 winds have been held back by 4 angels, while God seals the 144,000 who will replace the church. It is implied that the winds are then released, and John sees an entire host of saints dressed in white: “His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire; a fiery stream issued and came forth before Him. A thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.”  Are these the raptured saints or are the raptured saints in Rev.5?  In Revelation Chapter 5 there are ten thousand times ten thousand angels seen in heaven, but these are not the saints.  The answer will determine when the rapture happens. Many think that the saints in Chapter 7 are Saints slain in the Wrath of God, but why would they be in heaven when the real Wrath of God has not yet happened?

There are many other interesting observations to be made concerning events related to the chapter 12 warning.  In the next chapter of Revelation or Rev. 13, we see the Beast rising out of the sea and then being given authority for exactly 42 months or 3 and 1/2 years.   This beast had been wounded and the whole world marveled at his recovery and followed him. This is the same 3 and 1/2 years spoken about in Daniel 7:25, “He shall… persecute the saints of the Most High & shall intend to change times & laws (overturning of statues & history) then the saints shall be given into his hand for (3 1/2 years)“.  Soon he signs a covenant with Israel which may include the permission to build the Temple.  This has not happened, but God in His Grace is giving us a shadow to warn us. The 1st Blood moon happened exactly 3 ½ years prior to the Great Sign of Rev. 12 which came at the end of the “Holy” Jubilee of 2017 and marked the beginning of the next 3 ½ year period. The first period was characterized by the Rise of ISIS and the 2nd has so far included the transgender revolution & Covid. Both introduced lawlessness and rebellion in our social order and man’s relation to God.  Perversion, transsexuality, & hate are at new levels.

Daniel & Revelation are connected to our present-day history. The Great Sign of Revelation 12 HAPPENED in a cloud of major storms, mass killings and sex scandals which portends what we are experiencing NOW- rising disorder with a paradigm of New Beginnings in every sector.  We are seeing a shaking of nations, cultures, and establishments of every kind.  The intensity of the shaking will increase until there is a revival. The Word uses “shadows” to connect the supernatural to the natural. The “shadow of His wings” is a refuge and the Valley of the SHADOW of death is a place God allows to test and purify us. God warns us with shadows, fire, pestilence and lawlessness.

This year was to be a showpiece event in Dubai, the 2020 Expo.  Sheik Muhammed the leader of Dubai, however, is now in the middle of salacious scandal and a high-level divorce involving courts in England. And princess Latifa, one of his daughters, was kidnapped from a yacht owned by a French sailor in international waters that was trying to smuggle her out of Dubai. Prior to her recent attempt to escape she claimed that she had been imprisoned and tortured for 3 years while a teenager. Since her recent capture she has disappeared and is feared dead. So, it makes sense that the wife is frightened for her own life.  It is well known that women are subjected to abuse along with many workers needed to build the massive new structures: including a whole new A.I. city and over 80 skyscrapers throughout old and new Dubai.  Throughout the world the Covid 19 virus has shut down extensive gambling, sex, and sports establishments that draw crowds to idol worship.  Huge amounts of black money have been flowing through these markets and much of it is whitewashed in the construction of buildings in Dubai and elsewhere.  God has allowed this to happen but will soon push back on this evil. In the meantime, this atmosphere of uncertainty, chaos, and fear will continue to shake society and will draw the lost to Him.

If we go back to the time of Moses, we discover that at Mt. Sinai, God spoke from the Holy Mountain on the Sabbath after the Trumpets were blown to gather the people. God is now speaking through the Great Sign of Revelation 12 which was timed to happen right after all the Trumpets were blown during the great Feast of Trumpets, near the closing of the first Day of Awe. Note the name of our President is TRUMP, this is no coincidence.  There are 10 Days of Awe which were set up by God for the people to humble themselves before the Lord in preparation for the great Day of Atonement. No trumpets were blown during this solemn 10-day period.  This was to be a special Holy Time of remembrance and Return.  It was the period in which the Great Sign appeared in 2017. Thirty days prior to this Sign, Teshuva began marking the beginning of 40 days of remembrance and forgiveness which included the 10 Days of Awe and ended on the Day of Atonement. A day prior to Teshuva, the United States saw the great American Solar Eclipse.

Teshuva and especially the Days of Awe were a time for people to Return to God & purify oneself.  God’s Glory & Mercy was celebrated as people and Priests performed special acts of forgiveness and services before the Great Day of Atonement.  What does all this mean?  The Great Sign points to a time in History during which God used Holy Festivals to honor His Promises.  Before and after this Sign, He has set a special time of purification in which He is stirring things up so that people will seek and come to Him and “His Holy Mountain,” seeking mercy, with a repentant heart. All of this is like a shadow that God is casting over His earth.  It is a shadow of His Mercy and Grace, but it is also a warning for us to remember what we have done and who we are so that we can humble ourselves and pray. The Word says, “Be alert and of sound mind so that you can pray.”  God is purifying the earth and He wants you to know the Truth before Judgment Day.

Here are three important truths to know and understand:  A.  The Great Sign is NOT just about the past.  Jesus Christ is speaking today and WARNING pastors, prophecy speakers, and the Church as he did the Pharisees of old to hear with their ears and open their eyes to see what NEEDS TO BE SEEN. Even the Pharisaical Jewish calendar may be wrong as I will explain later. Many church leaders appear to be so blind that they do not even know where the true Mountain of God is located on this planet. They have believed the lies of the Saudi and Egyptian archeologists and think that Mt. Sinai or Mt. Horeb is in Egypt and not in “Arabia” as stated in the Bible.  Arabia has always been on the East side of the Red Sea as in “Saudi Arabia.”  Jesus warns, “Hearing you will hear and not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive; for the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes have been closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears. Mat. 13:10-15.  I promise that with two verses from the Word of God and 20 minutes of your time with a map I can prove beyond doubt that Mt. Sinai is not in Egypt but instead is in the Arabian land mass.

Jesus also states that there is a big tendency for smug leaders to miss the obvious signs, “When it is evening you say, ‘it will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; and in the morning, ‘it will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.“  So, if someone misinterprets Revelation and then promotes it to their congregation in error, is that considered “adding to the words written?” Is this one reason why many churches are not growing or why there is so much illness, abortion, divorce, and suicide within the church?

B. After the “Woman” or the Jews in Jerusalem flee into the wilderness they are protected by God (Matt. 24:15), for 1260 days.  This has not yet happened.  As stated in Rev. 12:6, Satan is cast out of heaven and knows he only has a short time, so he pursues the Woman but is stopped by God and turns away to persecute the believing Jews. This has not happened. By this time God has already raptured the Church or “child,” which has yet to happen.

C. The book of Revelation is the only book that promises blessings to those who read it and even to those who hear it (and the blessings are at both the beginning and the end). Revelation 12 is in a Key location, right in the middle of the book! The Sign itself is unusual because when it appears it is “invisible” to the human eye. As far as I know NO OTHER PROPHECY TEACHER NOR PASTOR HAS NOTED THIS REMARKABLE FACT.  It is obvious yet few have taken the effort and time to understand God’s Great Sign. This is VERY SAD.  Note the Sun is on the Woman’s shoulder and when the Sun is shining nearby you cannot see the stars and moon, yet God still calls it a Great Sign and says that it “appeared.” Why?  Is there a deeper meaning?  First realize that trying to catch the sun at the right moment could have blinded the person who dared look at the Sign for too long. Likewise man cannot look upon God for He is Perfectly Holy.  And note that God knew we would have astronomers that would have known that this sign appeared, yet very few associated it with the complete Word of God. Is God suggesting that we are blind to His warnings? Why would God use an invisible Sign? 

It was in an early morning dream state the Lord imposed on me the impression that an invisible Sign had a significant purpose, after which I quickly wrote it down. This leading from the Holy Spirit inspired me to study more and to hurry up my writing on the impact of the Jubilee, the Festivals, the Fig Tree, the Solar Eclipse, and the Prophetic Generation.  There was also affirmation from others who were anticipating something extra-ordinary such as Planet-X, but these were just diversions coming from Dark sources.  Satan was using these false prophets to undermine the true meaning of this Sign and to destroy any credibility related to the Sign since Planet X never appeared nor existed! 

Like the parables the Sign of the Woman of Revelation 12 has a hidden supernatural purpose and meaning. Satan’s attempt to rewrite its meaning only affirms the importance of the Great Sign.  These attempts at counterfeit and undermining of truth is Satan’s signature method to mislead mankind.  He and his world system have also tried their hardest to undermine the credibility of the following three divine books connected to His amazing sign:  Genesis, Daniel, and of course Revelation.  In the book of Genesis Satan’s demise is prophesied and in the book of Revelation it is realized. In the book of Daniel, the timing of all this is laid out. Each of these books deal with the Cosmic conflict between Jesus Christ and Satan.  In Genesis, the serpent is condemned by God when God tells him that the Seed of the Woman will crush His head.  This is exactly what is depicted in the Great Sign with the stars of the Dragon in Drago, the great star Spica in Virgo ( which means the SEED in the Virgin) and the great star Regulus in Leo (which means the Royalty of the Lion of Judah). 

The “hidden invisibility” aspect of the message is KEY to the Great Sign’s importance! What the Sign signifies and points to is the beginning of a New Paradigm where invisible forces will appear and grow in intensity as they impact the world. These invisible forces are: 1) Spiritual forces in dark places and principalities of evil, but also includes God’s counter-forces including His angels, 2) Famines and deadly microbes such as viruses or bacteria and their pandemics and epidemics 3) Natural events such as weather and earthquakes and 4) Lawlessness which emanates from those evil  forces. Jesus states, “Because lawlessness will increase, the love of many will grow cold.” 

Let us first consider these amazing facts: The Great Sign happened in 2017 soon after the warnings given by the Great Solar Eclipse. It occurred right at the end of the last Jubilee and began in Days of Awe hours after the Feast of Trumpets. It happened in the early morning as the sun rose on Sept. 23rd, 2017, exactly 1260 days after the first blood moon of April 15, 2014. Does this suggest that it will be followed by a foreshadowing extending another 1260 days into the future; a 3 ½ year extension of Awe to shake up the church and to purify Christians?  For instance, right now fantasy theme parks, drama theatres and movie theaters are closed most of which proclaim the world’s message of revisionist history, fantasy, horror, debauchery, or immorality.  Television which has negatively affected the family and our culture has also seen production limitations. Christians who have been caught up in this worldly worship are being set free. Events that draw people away from church like sports have halted.   The “idols” in the lives of many have been torn down and now people are discovering deeper relationships at home and on zoom with the church.  God is working in mighty ways to transform hearts and lives.

In my book Cosmic Crossroad Countdown, which was completed in early August, I suggested that the approaching Solar Eclipse of 2017 would be a warning to America of MAJOR COMING Storms. The year 2017 ended up being the costliest year ever for America. Over 306 billion dollars was needed to repair damages from 3 major hurricanes, 10 other major weather disasters, and major fire storms. The Great American Solar Eclipse happened 30 days prior to the Great Sign of Revelation 12, a day before Teshuva began. It paralleled the time of Return and surrender that God had set for the purifying of the people before the Day of Atonement. We are now seeing the results of increasing birth pains and accelerating “invisible” assaults on the family, on social order and neighborhood security.  We must remember that God’s Signs are all connected to history and to His footprints & promises that are woven into His Story.  He has a reason for what He wrote in the sky.

If this Great Sign is correct, these assaults will increase or multiply into different forms such as pestilence, droughts, famines, or earthquakes, (as forewarned by Jesus at the Olivet Discourse in Mathew 24). Soon later the Anti-Christ is revealed and makes his move. The book also explains in much greater detail how magnificent and majestic the Sign of Revelation 12 really was when it appeared amid Israel’s major Festivals.  The stars and planets moved into an amazing array at a perfect time in the Jewish calendar to display the “birth of the child” (Jupiter entered the womb of Virgo for over 9 months); and 3 other planets lined up perfectly next to Regulus (Mars for man, Venus for High Priest and Mercury for Messenger). It all happened in a convergence of 4 distinctive blood moons, 4 major planets, three constellations, a curious comet, stars, and sun; all within a perfect orchestration of God’s historical Jubilees, the 40-day surrender and return to God during Teshuva, and the celebration of Feast of Trumpets, the Days of Ingathering, the Feast of Tabernacles and the special Day of Atonement.

What does all these mean for the Church and unbelievers today?  I will continue to share my honest opinion based on what seems to be the Perfect Character of God who Loves us and Seeks to Save as many Souls as Possible.  His will is unfolding quickly in these Last Days. God is abundant in Mercy and His Word states “His Mercies are New Every Morning!”  I believe that God has created a Template that will reflect and warn of the Great Tribulation or Wrath of God to come. This time-and-event-template began with the first blood moon on April 15th of 2014.  Three-and one-half years later the Sign of Revelation 12 occurred.  We are almost 3 years into the 2nd three-and one-half year period of foreshadowing.  By April 2021 it will total seven years of foreshadowing with the Revelation 12 Sign in the middle. Likewise, in Mat. 24, Jesus forewarns that after birth pains will come a period where “you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake, and many will be offended, betraying one another, and .. lawlessness will abound.”  Then He warns people in Judea who “see the Abomination of Desolation standing in the holy place” to flee into the wilderness because the “great tribulation” or the final 3-and one-half weeks is about to begin. Cosmic Crossroad Countdown predicted that God would allow various kinds of “invisible attacks” to motivate Jews to leave America and other countries and return to Israel.  This is NOW happening. For a simple-to-understand time-line presentation and a good perspective on God’s wheel of time in world history check out the book and the graphs presented.

In this season involving the “Day of Awe Foreshadowing” we have seen foreboding evidence of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse.  The White Horse or the False teachers and cults have spread their lies throughout the earth winning many lost hearts and minds.  The Red horse of Islam & Communism has persecuted and terrorized every continent and Islam especially caused many to kill each other forcing millions to flee the Middle East.  The Black Horse has caused scarcity all over Africa, the Middle East, India, and many other nations affected by Covid, drought, and locusts. Is the Pale Green Horse about to happen bringing wider-scale death and destruction?  Rebellion, chaos, and scarcity will add to the mayhem and confusion to where nations and kingdoms will suffer great travail. Will this initiate a world war?

These events could also be a foreshadowing of a the much greater Tribulation or Wrath about to happen after the rapture of the “child.”  When the church is raptured Satan and his demon angels will be cast from heaven and they will magnify the severity and effects of the 4 seals and the 4 Horsemen that will be opened up and let loose one after another. Read the rest of Revelation 12.  The Church will not be around to mollify the extent of this confusion, fear, and despair.  God, however, will appoint the 144,000 Messianic Jews who will act as a divine compass. This is shown in Chapter 7 of Revelation right after the 6th Seal when the earth experiences a great earthquake along with a sack-cloth sun and the Blood moon.  Is this great Earthquake a result of the billions of graves cracking open throughout the world during the rapture of the dead?  When Jesus was resurrected there was a large local earthquake?

An important scenario is  reflected in Chapter 2:30 of Joel’s Prophecy concerning both the Moon & Sun which happens before “the great and awesome Day of the Lord (or the Wrath of God).” This Blood moon and Sack-cloth sun act as a pivot point and warn of the Wrath to come. This clearly separates the Seal judgements from the Wrath of God or the “Day of the LORD.” For in Revelation 6, the 6th and final Seal includes this Blood moon and Darkened sun.  Thus, it and the other 5 Seals have to happen prior to the Wrath. Hence the rapture of the church may happen during this last seal when the great earthquake causes the kings to hide in caves in fear.  Are they in fear because their loved ones have been raptured? Does this rapture of the dead cause the earthquake? Even though the church is to be raptured the Bible and God’s Spirit will still be around along with the Gospel Angel.  So, what could happen next? Many ministries are recording record responses to the Gospel as they go full throttle on sharing the Gospel online! Could riots, the rapture, or a massive revival happen between Passover and March 20-21 (end date of the 7-year template)?  God’s original New Year begins on the vernal equinox or March 20, 2021 which matches this date.

Another important Truth that both the Protestant/Catholic Church and the Messianic church seem to have missed is the strong possibility that the Essenes who hid the Dead Sea Scrolls were the first to predict the death of Israel’s Messiah?  They seemed to disappear as a group about the time that the Church was formed. Did they become Christians? They had a solar based calendar that was more accurate with harvest seasons and festivals. It was superior to the lunar oriented Jewish calendar since an additional month did not have to be added every 10 years.  Their calendar added 4 extra days based on adding 2 solstices plus 2 equinoxes and thus equaled to a 364-day year. Their calendar was divided into four 90-day periods or seasons with these four special days separating each period.  This was much closer to the change of seasons year after year than the Jewish 12 X 30 = 360-day year.  There were four other very special days, “Grace focused” holidays in the summer season each of which fell on Sunday: 1st Fruits of new Wine, Pentecost and the counting of the Omer, the First Fruits of Barley, and the New Oil. Each of these days were exactly 49 days apart or 7 weeks. The 50th day rested on that day and it was always a Sunday!  This may be one big reason why the Church started worship on Sundays.  According to the lunar calendar we are in the year 5780 whereas in the Essene calendar we are at about 5945.  Check out Ken Johnson, Ancient Dead Sea Scroll Calendar video on YouTube.  

After the Cosmic battle between Michael the Archangel and the prince of Persia, Daniel was given the divine message and the timing of future events.  He was told to keep the book closed until the end, and it has been kept closed to the Jews who seem to be unable or unwilling to interpret it. Both the Pharisees and the Sadducees were unable to comprehend the timing of Daniel’s prophecy and its connection to Jesus Christ. But the Essenes understood, possibly because John the Baptist associated with them.  Like the Essenes he used baptism as a sign of purification and a change of heart or repentance. They knew the time of the Messiah’s reign down to the very year of His crucifixion, and this may be because they were the scribes of the Dead Sea Scrolls which included the accurate prophecies of Daniel.  Note, that John the Baptist was led by the Spirit of Elijah and was the son of Zacharia, a Priest of the Temple and therefore must have had a special divine understanding. Besides knowing that Jesus was the Messianic King promised in Daniel’s 490-year prophecy, they may have known that his final entry into Jerusalem would lead to his death at the important end date of 483 years spoken to Daniel by the angel Gabriel.   

Three promises in Daniel’s prophecy related to the Messiah were at least partially fulfilled at the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ: that of finishing the transgression, the making an end of sins and finally the beginning of eternal righteousness.   These all happened at once.  Likewise, the future Revelation will involve multiple layers of events that will overlap and come quickly.  The Seal Judgments, Trumpet Judgments and Bowls that make up the End-Time come quickly with one atop the other as each seal of the Lamb’s Book is broken. For instance, the 7th seal is the 1st Trumpet, the 7th trumpet is the 1st Bowl judgment. There are moments of silence and intermittent hesitation in heaven to allow angelic preparation, the rapture, Satan to be cast out, or for the 144,000 Jews to be chosen. As stated, earlier Jesus Christ is in control.  He speaks to us in His Word, “Let not your hearts be troubled.”  He consoles us with this forewarning, “In the World you will have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the World.”  Although the church will not go through the Wrath of God, it has and will face trials and tribulation. The church which has been infiltrated with evil and “false Christs” will be purified, the faithful will be raptured, then (God) will shake not only the earth but also the heaven, Heb.12:26.  Jesus wants us to know that He will be with us through trials and will protect and provide for us.  The Promises He made will be kept and He will preserve a remnant of Israel (The Woman) and His bride (The Church).

The Unknown

This message relates to history, the epidemic and my recent book Cosmic Crossroad Countdown which gave a warning concerning the Solar Eclipse with storms to come, and the Sign of an “invisible” attack or warning that would begin to change the world.  The Word “Corona” means crown in Spanish and in science is the ring of light at the point of total eclipse during a Solar Eclipse.  Like a mighty king this virus is having a mighty affect on the kingdoms of earth, striking the weak and often those at the prime of life.  At the same time it is an unknown in science (allegorically it is blotting out the sun) and therefore has humbled both nations and scientists while threatening economies and our present concepts fighting disease. 
 
Hello World- you may be experiencing the confusion from the unknown-unseen which could make a difference between life and death- and the state of your spirit.
 
Few will listen to the truth…much like in the time of Jesus and Noah. They cannot nor want to see the signs of the time as expressed clearly in Matt 16:2-3. This is true even of believers and prophecy pretenders who distract the masses as they did in the time of the kings of Israel. So God has given us a “modern-day mystery-sign” to unravel much like He gave parables to his disciples and to the growing church and half-blind world.
 
At Sinai God told the Jewish nation, “And if after all this you will not obey Me, I will proceed to punish you sevenfold for your sins.” Why is this so significant? One of the many commands God gave them was that they had to forgive all debts and return the land to the original owners every 50 years or at the Jubilee year. Because they failed to honor the Jubilee mandate for 10 times or for 500 years of their nation building, they were taken into captivity as punishment for exactly 7X10 or 70 years.
 
This is a very good example of why the Jubilee year is significant in Biblical Prophecy and why God allowed Israel to take over Jerusalem (their own reclaimed land- they were the original owners) in the 1967-68 War & restoration – a very special Jubilee year. The next Jubilee year was 2017-18 (in Israel the year always begins at Roshshanna or in that year Sept. 21-22, 2017) This was the year that Trump declared he would make Jerusalem the legal capital of Israel by moving our Embassy there.
 
All of this seems abstract but from a historical perspective it will make sense if you study past Jubilees. The incredible thing is that there was also a very important Sign that happened to mark this last Jubilee. It was “The Great Sign” of Rev. 12 which occurred on Sept. 23rd as noted by astronomers and explained in the book: Cosmic Crossroad Countdown. We KNOW that it happened in a very God-like way and we KNOW that Satan did all he could to counterfeit and hide it. Do you remember Plantet X and Nibiru which were not visible even to telescopes but were to destroy the earth on that day? Well they never existed! Those were lies to distract you from the Truth- exactly what we see today.
 
Everything including Trump’s victory in 2016, the growing rebellion of the heart, the invisible spiritual attacks on the family and faith, and the invisible enemy that has humbled the world are all part of this sign that we know happened yet was unexpected and unseen- as explained in the book. Why did God purpose this almost invisible sign? That in itself is part of the message that God wants us to know.
 
What else is real yet unseen? God and the world of the supernatural is completely unseen. God, however, wants us to know HIM …. but the unknown is frightening as we see with this invisible virus. Although invisible, God loves us and is merciful. He wants us to know him in a personal way, yet the world rebels against HIM. Known by some and unknown by most – the battle being fought is unrecognized by the world for it involves dark forces and principalities of evil. This is the epitome of an asymmetrical war being fought for your heart, mind and soul. The answer is to Seek God with all your heart mind and soul and He will meet you there. And Know that Jesus Christ became known for you and to you so that you might recognize God in the flesh as Your Savior. 

One way that God communicates His Love for us is through prophecy.  It is prophecy that gives us hope for He does promise to return and prepare the earth for a “Kingdom on earth” where He will reign.   The Power and Mystery of Prophecy is exhibited in the 350+ prophecies that were fulfilled by Jesus Christ in his first coming.  Many of these prophecies came from unexpected directions such as Psalm 22.  Who would have guessed that a “song” from David would end up being a key prophecy of the suffering and crucifixion of the Messiah, or that a prophecy of Hosea (11:1-4) would show that the Jewish Messiah would come out of Egypt.  So significant and unexpected is this prophecy that it is repeated by Matthew: This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son.” (Matthew 2:13-15). 

As stated earlier the Critical Jubilee Year that God established in the Wilderness for the Nation of Israel, and recorded in the book of Leviticus was a measurement of obedience to God’s laws of return, restoration and forgiveness. Because the nation of ancient Israel disobeyed this command for the approximately 500 years of its existence or 10 Jubilees God punished the nation with destruction and exile for a length of 70 years or 7 times 10. This also fulfilled God’s Promise in Leviticus that Israel would suffer 7 times the penalty as a reminder of their gross disobedience. God KEEPS His Promises- Good or Bad, Blessings or Curses.  And He will keep them  all including those related to the world and to those who  do not fear Him nor Receive His Gift of Forgiveness through the Sacrifice He provided:  His own Son – Jesus Christ.

The Jubilee Year was intended as a time for Return and Restoration- a picture of Redemption. Land would be returned to the original owners and all debts would be forgiven. Land would also be left fallow and the people would learn to depend on God for survival. The year was very unique in that it would begin on the Day of Atonement and not on Rosh Hashanah as did every other year. So what would happen to the 10 days between this New Year Day and the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur? Those 10 days were just NOT COUNTED. So every 50 years 10 days would not be counted—this alloted for physical corrections in the rotation of earth around the sun to keep the seasons in tune with the 360 day year and leap years. But it another more significant Spiritual meaning. It would signify that Jubilee was a Very Special Year in which Time was Not Counted Just as it is NOT COUNTED IN HEAVEN. It connected the Jubilee of Restoration & Return to God’s thrown room where time was Not Counted and Where everyone must go for judgment or restoration. Everything Returns to God in the end. All of this is in my book Cosmic Crossroad Countdown

This 50-year period message should not confuse people. His message simply has a time-capsule attached to it that allows some generations to be impacted more than others. This motivates others to forwarn others and  to teach the Truth.  I believe that even today God is revealing multi-layers of truth including the very fact that both signs and prophecies may be misinterpreted by those in high positions of authority.  These authorities include both pastors and so-called prophecy experts.  Tradition tries to protect its own turf and draws the wagons around cherished concepts.  God, however, is in the business of revelation and transformation and is not stuck in tradition, agendas, budgets, and the status quo.

Usually when God fulfills Prophecy, He shakes the nations and, in the process, He builds new nations.  In other situations, he rebuilds and strengthens a nation as He has recently done with both Israel and America.  Both recovered and grew their economies after the formation of the Jewish nation in 1948. Now we are both in semi-lockdowns and Israel is asking all tourists to leave right before Easter and refusing to let any more enter for the annual celebration.  We are allies in God’s war against evil and we are both at war with an invisible enemy.

Do you think God is also trying to get the attention of both the orthodox and the secular Jew who now have a life-challenging thing in common?  Is this tiny unknown force generating enough uncertainty that people will look to God for answers?  I believe that God is trying to get the attention of every soul and spirit in the World and shaking them by the collar.  He says, “Wake Up! Know me, confess and repent before time runs out….Time-times-half-a-time is approaching- (read the Prophetic Book of Daniel to understand its significance), so get your heart and mind in order and restudy all the prophetic books including Daniel.” 

God most likely wants people to seek Him with all their heart, mind, and soul.  In doing this he allows epidemics like the Spanish Flu of 2018-19 to come at the heal of WWI and infect 1/3 of world’s population. Fifty million of them died making it the deadliest period in history, yet it seems to be just a speck in the memory bank of time.  Only God knows how it affected history.  Maybe it delayed another world war or slowed the world down enough to generate revivals in England and elsewhere. 

God is also motivating people to study the Bible and prophecy as they point others to Him. It is unfortunate that there are some leaders who discourage this study of prophecy thus squelching the power of the Holy Spirit in one’s life.  They do not seem to understand that God grants the believer the gift of prophecy, teaching and evangelism.

The world has gotten too busy and preoccupied with the pursuit of wealth, power, beauty and other vanities that has affected the clergy and leadership. Maybe God has purposed to slow things down with this corona pandemic.  God knows that this isolation experience is teaching us multi-generational living, home schooling or university level online learning that may undermine the power of Academia, and help us cook more,  grow a garden, repair our homes and practice many other crafts, concepts and arts.  Part of the world’s sin was a rebellion of the heart which was sexualizing everything and glorifying the world instead of God. By separating people God is helping them to establish new habits such as book reading and to rethink life for themselves. Each has been given a new start and a new opportunity for change. God will now hold each person accountable.  God is eager to see us get back to the basics, to the family, and to worshipping Him.
