As Paul clearly understood. The thief in the night, comes for unaware
folks. Not for His Church body at the Rapture. To rescue it, to lift those
who
believe out of the way. This date is not known precisely, although
the season is obviously upon us..
Everyone knows the date of the End of this Age is very close to, if
it is not actually, the 6000th year. It's no mystery.
MARCH THE 5TH 2000 AD. TO BE PRECISE. (see articles re., time.)
Page 2.
Then Jesus amplifies upon this, narrows down the description with an
example from History. AS IN the days of Noah.
37 But as the days of Noah, so also will
be the coming of the Son of man. (this is obviously not 70 ad, but
the end of the
Age. Like Noah's time a catastrophe is coming, not just the Romans
to destroy the Temple)) Jesus is talking catastrophe.
(Ge 6:8 And Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah. 9
These are the generations of Noah. Noah, a righteous man,
had been perfected among his family. Noah walked with God.) Noah was
close to God, as we are, are we not. That is the
object of being 'born-again'. 38 For as they were in the days
before the flood: eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving
in marriage, until the day when Noah went into the ark.
THEY are those without faith, the unbelievers, NOT NOAH, our equivalent,
HE KNEW )
39 And they did not know until the
flood came and took all away. THEY DID NOT KNOW UNTIL THE TRIBULATION
CAME
AND CARRIED THEM WITH IT. Who is this that DID NOT KNOW? The unrighteous,
the unbelievers, CARRYING ON AS IF
NOTHING WAS COMING. Had Noah warned them? Yes. Did they listen ?
NO.
Do we believers carry on more carefully with our lives when we know
the day is close, You bet ! And if not, we should.
Jesus is here talking about the catastrophic event of the Flood. It
happened immediately after the rains came. After the rains
came the Ark floated and Noah and his family were saved. So also will
be the coming of the Son of man. It will be in like
manner, in the same way. At the end of days, the catastrophe of the
Tribulation will commence and the 'born agains' will be
saved by Jesus, just before the unrighteous start to perish in the
Tribulation. If you like, the waters of God's wrath will begin to fall
for 40 days and forty nights, then the unrighteous will drown
in wrathful wars, both of, first man and then God. They would
not
listen ( there are 40 years from 1967 to 2007 ad.). I think everyone
agrees that we Christians see Jesus at some space of time
before Jesus lands and tackles the Antichrist.The LAST of the
two 2nd comings of the Son of Man, is as in the days of Noah,
Jesus lands to judge THE UNBELIEVERS, HERE JESUS IS ADDRESSING UNBELIEVERS.AND
ALSO ADVISING Christians
what the unbelievers position is.( verses 35-39)
So unless you are clear that two sets of circumstances are here being dealt
with
by Jesus, split at v35 you are bound to complelely misunderstand the
whole passage. This is the key. Jesus is off on a new tack
at v37.. the TRIBULATION, VERSES 37-39.
What precisely was the position with Noah, that Jesus is referring to?
Ge 6:13 And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come before
Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. And
behold, I will destroy them along with the earth. Ge 6:22 And
Noah did so, according to all that God commanded him, so he
did.Ge 7:1 And Yahweh said to Noah You and all your house come
into the ark, for I have seen you righteous before Me in this
generation. Ge 7:5 And Noah did according to
all that Yahweh commanded him. (Abraham's FAITH was credited to him
as RIGHTEOUSNESS.)
God filled Noah in with the details and Noah did as he was instructed
to do. God was in communication with Noah at all critical
periods. Read the full story.Ge 7:4 For after seven more days
I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights
and will wipe away every living substance that I have made from off
the face of the earth.
Ge 7:10 And it was after the seven days, the waters of the flood
came into being on the earth.
Rains came for 40 days and nights. The flood came into being after
7 days.
As in the days of Noah-- has anything similar happened today?
Now it just so happens that 1967 plus 40 is 2007 ad.
It also just so happens that 1994 is 7 years before 2001 ad.
On their own interesting, put them together with all the other Scriptures
which point to 2001 ad and 2007 ad and they tell
when the end of this age is.
This is type and antitype.:-
Type, God
put Noah
in the Ark
and saved him and his family from the Flood.
Antitype, Jesus puts believers
in the true Church and
saves them from the Tribulation.
(we are not marked down to suffer the Wrath of God.)
We have , of course, already got a lot of information about what is
coming, from the Prophets, Jesus Himself in the Gospels,
Daniel, Zechariah, Haggai, Hosea, Ezekiel, Malachi, Amos, John
in Revelation, Paul, All the prophecies of the King of Kings.
There's no need to be shy about these, Hosea 6:2 indicates WHEN it
is due to come. Jesus says ' a long time' in the Gospels.
Jesus also tells Daniel THAT THE DATE has to be hidden
UNTIL
the End Time. (Dan 12 v4 & 9.) Jesus shows Daniel 2520
years to the destruction of the Antichrist. The dispensations run in
3 lots of 2000 years, making 6000 in all.
Page 3.
NOW JESUS GOES BACK AGAIN TO TALKING ABOUT THE RAPTURE. verse
40.
40 At that time two will be out in the
field; the one is taken away, and the one is left;
41 two grinding at the mill; one is taken
away, and one is left. At that time, not specifically a date, the Rapture,
one taken,
one left to suffer. What time? The time of the
End of the Age.
42 Watch, then, for you do not know in
what hour your Lord comes.
43 But know this, that if the housemaster
had known in what watch the thief comes, he would have watched and not
have allowed his house to be dug through. A
simile for the religious leaders, (the housemaster, not the slaves) and
the Church pillaged by Jesus, for the
righteous. Or Satan watching over his worldly
domain)
44 Because of this, you also be ready,
for in that hour you think not, the Son of man comes. (
for to look at what the worker
is doing. Not to look at what the idle unrighteous
are at.)
45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant
whom his lord has set over his household, to give to them the food in
season?
46 Blessed is that servant whom his lord
shall find so doing when he comes.(A Pastor feeding the sheep.)
47 Truly I say to you, He will set him over all
his substance. A comfort to hardworking, loyal
and truthful Pastors.Great
rewards.
48 But if that wicked servant says in his
heart, My lord delays to come, (A-Millennialists?)
49 and begins to beat his fellow servants,
and to eat and to drink with the ones drinking,(fleece the sheep, beats
them)
50 the lord of that slave (housemaster)will
come in a day in which he does not expect and in an hour which he does
not
know,51 and will cut him in two, and will
appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There will be weeping and gnashing
of
the teeth.
Punishment for corrupt ministers doing it wrong. Teaching wrongly, fleecing
the flock monetarily.
Mt 25:13 Therefore, watch, for you do not
know the day nor the hour in which the Son of man comes.
Lu 12:46 the lord of that slave (THE
LEADING SLAVE) will come in the day in which
he does not expect, and in an hour which he does not know. And he
will cut him apart and will put his portion with
the unbelievers. THESE PASSAGES (40-51) ARE PLAINLY DIRECTED AT
LEADERS , WHO WILL SEE JESUS FIRST, IN THE CLOUDS, NOT ON LAND.
THEY WILL NOT KNOW the
DAY or the HOUR, WHEN JESUS IS COMING IN THE CLOUDS TO RESCUE THEM.
THE RAPTURE.
This all boils down to, the believers will know the time of the Tribulation
and the season of the Rapture that was coming, as
Noah did. THEY ALONE WILL TAKE NOTICE OF THE WARNINGS OF GOD.
The unbelievers, ESPECIALLY THE IGNORANT LEADERS, will not know the
day or the hour. As they don't know today, 'cos they won't listen to warnings.
Who warned his fellow men ?......... Noah, who knew from God.
Who warns them today, ...................... Christians
AND LEADERS who know. The true slaves to Christ.
NOAH'S ARK. 2352 bc................ 4350 years ago. Noah
found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Gen 6 v8.
I never realised that Noah was just a man like us. He also was
'saved by the Grace of God.'
Someone is being gracious when they give to someone a gift they have
not earned and don't really deserve. This is
what grace is.
Noah walked with God. Genesis 6v9.and God remembered Noah 8v1.And Noah
did so , according to all that
God commanded him, so he did. 6v22. So, grace from God, walk
in faith and do God's
commandments is still all you have to do to be Saved.Ge 6:14
to 9:18.
God gave Noah instructions.
Noah obeyed, trusting God. The unrighteous laughed at
Noah's warnings,
God gave Abraham instructions for Sodom & Gomorrah. Abraham obeyed.
The unrighteous blasphemed.
God has given us instructions through His Son JESUS.
We obeyed. The unrighteous laughed at our warnings.
Noah and all his family rose up in the rescue Ark.
All the rest swam desperately.
they kept on laughing for a while as they swam.
Lot & family rescued, except for his wife who looked back.
All the rest were burnt up.
We will rise up, Jesus has promised to save us from
All the rest will be left for
the Wrath of God which is coming upon the whole World.
the Great Tribulation which is coming upon all the World.
Noah floated, protected for a year.
All others perished.
Lot & Abraham were protected.
All Sodom & Gommorah destroyed. Watch out San Francisco and London.
We float in Heaven, protected and unharmed for c2.8 to 3.5 years.
All others will perish.
Noah was SAVED AND STEPPED DOWN UNHARMED.
The rest were History.
Abraham & Lot flourished.
The rest of Sodom were History.
Miriam instructed, made a basket. She obeyed. Moses saved. Rest
of babies killed by Pharoah.
New Christians warned by Jesus of the destruction of the Temple, the
signs of it coming.
The Christians remembering Jesus' warning, fled to the hills of Judea
when the Romans approached in 66-70 ad.
They were the only Jews to survive.
We will be saved and come down unharmed.
The New World Order will become History.
Page 4.
The whole of the Bible contains true accounts of how those who believed
God and take notice of Him were saved.
God sent Jesus, one of the Trinity of Himself to die for our sin on
the Cross. This allows Him to save us as
the price of sin is normally death. Upon belief in what God has done
we are saved forever. The price of our
sin, death, has been paid by Jesus on our behalf, as a free grace
gift from God. All you need is faith the size
of a mustard seed, sufficient to accept the offer from God and you
will be saved. For those who believe ,
death although it happens , is not the end, they continue in life eternal.
timeless wonderful existence with
Jesus. The others die and have to wait for the judgement day, when
they are disposed of as no use to God.
Because they don't believe in Him. He is uanble to do anyhting with
them. They won't let Him.
Shout, sing Praises
to Yahweh God, thanks be to Jesus Christ who saves the World. Jas
5:9 Do not murmur
against one another, brothers, that you not be
condemned. Behold, the Judge stands before the door. If He
stood before
the door then, 1960 years ago, (4 x 490) He must be almost over the
threshhold today.
Ac 3:17 And now, brothers, I know that
you acted according to ignorance, as also did your rulers.
Ac 17:30 Truly, then, God overlooking the
times of ignorance, now strictly commands all men everywhere to repent,
1Co 15:34 Be righteously awake, and do
not sin; for some have ignorance of God. I speak to your shame.
Eph 4:18 having been darkened in the understanding,
being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance which is in
them because of the hardness of their heart,
1Pe 1:14 as children of obedience, not
fashioning yourselves to your former lusts in your ignorance,
1Pe 2:15 because so is the will of God,
doing good to silence the ignorance of foolish men;
as if the Day of Christ has come.
2Th 2:3 Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, because that Day
will not come
unless first comes the falling away, and the
man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, This really
lays it on the line. We
will KNOW when that day comes. Because God will reveal of the Antichrist
starts the Tribulation.--- nothing about the
Rapture. Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm
a covenant with the many for one week.(7 years). And in the middle of the
week(heptad of 7 years) he shall cause the sacrifice
and the offering to cease. And on a wing of the altar will be
abominations that desolate, even until the end.
And that which was decreed shall pour out on the desolator.
Now we understand, as Jesus in Daniel said we would: therefore the
information is openly released by God. Jesus' words were
for all the time until now. Paul seems quite certain that we shall
be given information , so that we are not in ignorance. If we are
given signs and information, have we now got to ignore it? Paul
seemed to expect us to be given it. Why is there so much, 'Oh
we're not suppose to know that'? Because people mistakenly
apply the, ' not knowing the date of the RAPTURE' -------- TO THE
WHOLE END TIME. If we knew about 1967 from calculation
by Gratton Guiness, in 1880's how much more now? Would God
inform His servants of what is going on? He always has, Noah, Lot,
Us.
Paul amplifies on this subject.as if he knows exactly what's going
to happen. 1 Thess 5:
1 But concerning the times and the seasons,
brothers, you have no need for it to be written.
2 For you yourselves know accurately the
day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night.
3 For when they say, Peace and safety!
Then suddenly destruction comes upon them, like travail to the
pregnant woman, and they shall not at all escape.
4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness,
that the Day of the Lord, should overtake you as a thief.
( the unrighteous. DON'T KNOW THE DAY). Paul tells you WHY you won't
need for it to be written, because
you will know. THE UNRIGHTEOUS ARE IN DARKNESS, BUT WE ARE'NT.
( this amplifies the fact that the righteous willl NOT be overtaken
as a thief in the night. For we will be watching for Him. )
Those who are not watching, must be the unbelievers therefore, because
Jesus did say that somebody would be overtaken in this way. v42.
43, 44. You are exhorted by Jesus to watch, presumably so that you
will not be overtaken. I'm watching, boy, am I watching.
OTHERS WATCH TOO AND PREACH TO THOSE IN DARKNESS ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING,
FROM THE POSITION OF
BEING 'IN THE LIGHT'. 5 You are all sons
of light and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness.
6 So then, we should not sleep, as the
rest also do, but we should watch and be sober.
7 For those sleeping sleep by night, and
those having been drunk are drunk by night.
( I urge you not to go to sleep in Church or in your Christianity,
but be alert, m checking what men say to you, that it is in
fact as they say. A lot of loose, and erroneous theology is about today,
watch out.)
8 But we being of day should be sober,
"having put on the breastplate" of faith and love, and the hope of "salvation
as a
helmet;" (Isa. 59:17) 9 because God
has not appointed us to wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our
Lord Jesus
Christ,
We are not appointed to the Wrath, the anger, the judgement of God.
10 He dying on our behalf, so that whether
we watch or we sleep, we may live together with Him.
11 Therefore, encourage one another, and
build up one another, as you indeed do.
We see from the words the two types of men, the righteous, in the light,
wide awake, sober, metaphorically speaking.
The Unrighteous, asleep, metaphorically, drunken, stumbling about in
the dark, in a state of ignorance, and
unawareness. The deceived Christians are NOT sober in the spirit, but
proudly say that they are Drunk in the spirit!
The exact opposite of the scripture verse above. Allowing themselves
to be hyped up and mis-directed.
Page 5.
Paul is simply repeating what Jesus , his Master said, but with
an understanding that some of us have missed.
I think you will agree that we must meditate until we have a full understanding
of this matter, otherwise we are looking at a
contradiction, and we know this cannot be in the Bible.
What you are up against is old Theology, or sloppy Theology passed
down by word of mouth without thinking about it.
This subject would not need to be looked at, except that the 'tradition',
or the accepted wisdom is touted as truth.
Tithing today is another example of this unthinking acceptance &
repetition of what men say. Give-yes, Tithe-No.
This is how we turn men away from the Church, they become fed up with
it.
Acts 1:6 6 When they therefore had come
together, they asked of Him, saying, "Lord, wilt Thou at this time (33
ad)restore
again the kingdom to Israel?"
7 And He said unto them, "It is not for
you to know the times or the seasons which the Father hath put in His own
power.
8 But ye shall receive power after the
Holy Spirit is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and in Samaria, and
unto the uttermost part of the earth."
9 And when He had spoken these things,
while they beheld, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their
sight
10 And while they looked steadfastly toward
heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel,
11 who also said, "Ye men of Galilee, why
stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who is taken up from you
into Heaven, shall so come in like manner as
ye have seen Him go into Heaven."
Ac 1:7 And He said to them, It is
not yours to know times or seasons which the Father placed in His own authority
.
"which the Father placed in His own authority."
THESE
ARE SECRETS. The times and dates waiting to be revealed at the
'proper time', or openly revealed by God, are obviously not meant to
be secret, but those 'in his own authority' are
closed to us. It seems to me that any TIME information which is in
the Bible, even though hidden for a time, as Daniel's
information was, is allowed to be written about, when it is revealed
to you.
Jesus answered the question of that time,
33 ad, with the answer for that time, to the specific people of that time,
who
had asked him. It would be singularly inappropriate
to the Apostles of 1960 years ago to know the seasons of the End.. In
fact Revelation was'nt written for another 60 years or
thereabouts. Escatology was not their's to know. They were so far
away from it, it would have made them despondant, possibly.
God did the same with Daniel, He said to Daniel. Close up
the vision UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END. THEN
IT WILL FINALLY BE REVEALED & KNOWN.
Another comment that has to be answered is, "date-setters are cults."
Again people really mean the date-setters who say, ' I am
Christ', or 'Christ will come in 1914 for his church'. Dates of Christ's
first appearance at His Second Coming, the RAPTURE.
These spurious revelations have caused much difficulty for the real
thing. Such people are cultish. When WILL IT NOT BE
CULTISH TO DECLARE THESE THINGS.? When the TIME OF THE TRIBULATION
IS SO CLOSE AS TO BE PRACTICALLY
UPON US. Then the 'date setter' will not be a cult figure, he will
be right, giving a clear warning of the dates of the End, with the
clear exception of Christ coming for His people the church body ,before
the main trouble starts, THE 'CATCHING AWAY OF THE
SAINTS'. The peace deal with many , done by the Antichrist
will confirm the starting date of the Tribulation.
God's will is to warn, in mercy, He always has warned. If you get the
warning, in obedience , pass it on. Many , of course, will
ignore it. Never the less it is still to be given. God said to Ezekiel,never
mind whether they listen, or do not listen.
Were the prophets just like us? Yes. "Was
not Elijah a man just like us." We are told he was. We
are able to hear and do
similar things to what Elijah did. This is why I never curse anyone.
It might work and I am not allowed to damage anyone.
Very often when I ask God if He bless someone, He does.
the Amplified Bible is a help in looking at
this matter.
There are two sets of men covered here.
The Righteous because he is a Believer.
The Unrighteous because he Wills himself Not to Believe.
The righteous will know the season, but not the day or the hour--and
this is true because our
measurements are not sufficiently accurate. I KNOW more and more accurately
as time pases, THE
Season of the Tribulation, BUT NOT THE HOUR. God measures to
the hour, and even the second, but
we cannot. I don't dispute this.
The unrighteous may be restlessly aware, but they will not know the
day or the hour either. They may
sense the season and ignore the feeling.
God warns and saves the righteous, warns but does
not save, the unrighteous, who ignore Him..
Page 6.
Now we can get on with looking at Signs in the Heavens and dates given,
not by me, but by God,
in the form of Type and Antitype, which were arranged to be hidden
by God, until The Endtimes
shall come. Then they will be understood.
Noah had 7 days to prepare, we have a last 7 years to get ready.
From 1994 to 2001, 7 years. Type and Antitype. Jupiter bombarded--to
the start of the Tribulation.
Now the message. This is a description of some of the latest of the
wonders of God Almighty, not new,
they have always been there but hidden from man's understanding.
It happens to describe His wonderful sense of timing. With some dates
to be given, naturally , if we are talking
about timing. How else would we do it?
You will probably be familiar with the following verses. Please let's
read again , before I start to write
about them in an unfamiliar and expanded vein. Nothing new, just
a revealed timing which has been
deliberately and marvellously hidden. Amazingly it has been written
in the Bible all the time, but God
chose that no one would understand it.
Daniel 11:45 says, speaking of the Antichrist.........And
he shall plant his palace tents between the seas, in
the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come
to his end, and there is not a helper for him.
12:1 And at that time, Michael shall
stand up, the great ruler who stands for the sons of your people. And
there shall be a time of distress, such as
has not been from the existence of a nation until that time. And at
that time, your people shall be delivered,
everyone that shall be found written in the Book.
2 And many of those sleeping in the
earth's dust shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to
reproaches and to everlasting abhorrence.3
And those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament, and those turning many to righteousness
as the stars forever and ever.
4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words
and seal the book, to the end time. Many shall run to and fro,
and knowledge shall be increased.
5 And I, Daniel, looked. And, behold!
Another two stood there, the one on this side, and one on that side
of the river's edge.6 And one said to
the man clothed in linen, who was on the waters of the river, Until
when is the end of the wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen,
who was on the waters of the river, when he held up his right and
his left hand to the heavens and swore by
Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and
a half. And when they have made an end of
scattering the power of the holy people, all these things
shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I did not understand.
And I said, O my lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And He said, Go, Daniel! For the words
are closed up and sealed until the end time.
10 Many shall be purified and made white
and tested. But the wicked shall do wickedly. And not one of
the wicked shall understand, but the wise
shall understand.
11 And from the time the regular sacrifice
shall be taken away, and the abomination that desolates set up, a
thousand, two hundred and ninety days shall
occur.
12 Blessed is he who waits and comes
to the thousand, three hundred and thirty five days.
13 But you go on to the end, for you
shall rest and stand for your lot at the end of the days.
Many of you will have had the explanation, which is correct, that the
raising of one hand represents 1260
years and the other, another 1260 years, making 2520 years in total.
Time, times & half a time being =360 plus (360 x2)
plus 180 = 1260 for each hand, both hands therefore
totalling 2520 years.
Page 7.
No additional revelation so far.
Look at verse 7 , the second half. Moffat's translation reads with
more sense, it goes:-
"when the power of him who shattered the sacred
people, shall be over, then the end of all shall
arrive."
So here the speaker on the water attaches the fact of the Antichrist's
power being over,-- with the fact of the
2520 years span. Two connected events coming at the same time, the
length of time and the destruction of the
Antichrist's power. Both in verse 7 together.
Jesus thus tied the time to the end date, 2520 years, to the
destruction of he who shattered Israel's power, ( the
Antichrist.)
I would now like to share with you the line of reasoning which the Lord
opened up to me in January 1998. It began
yet again with the obvious question, v8-->" From when will this start,
or what is the time of the end."
Daniel queried this as anyone would. He asked the same question.
Verse 9 says, this is sealed information , until the time of
the End. No-one will be permitted to have this information
until the time of the end is actually with the humans of the World.
Now, if that time is now with us, perhaps God is willing to open His
plans a little further? We are ready for it.
I think that the events of the last 120 years, (since 1880ad ) and
in particular 1897ad and 70 years later, the war event
in Israel of 1967 leads one to suppose that we are truly about to experience
the End times, the last days.
I should say that the last three major Comets, (new Comets, formerly
completely unknown to science ), have a
particular divine significance which no one seems to have noticed.
Significant in timing. There are many Comets
known to Astronomers, There is nothing unusual about a Comet.: but
these three were remarkably different.
The first, Shoemaker Levy the most colossal solar event in recorded
history, bar none. THE LIGHT SWAMPED
THE SENSORS as it crashed into Jupiter.
Closest pass of the second one, Hyukatake in memory of Jesus
resurrection and the second timed to commemorate Jesus
Crucifixion. Timed to the actual day , not approximately. Only obvious
to anyone keeping time in God's preferred
way. I WILL NOW SHOW YOU WHAT THIS WAY IS.
Daniel's question and our question was about to be answered at last.
Praise the Lord for His wisdom.
I had gone to Pathway Books and quite uncharacteristically,
on my wife's urging bought a remarkably overpriced
Jewish Calendar.(not their fault, due to inflation in Israel) As is
usual, at the time I had no idea why I had bought this
Calendar.
However what I learnt from the Calendar was that the Israelites
were 3 months ahead of us in Calendar time, That is
their New Year began at the month Eth'anim in October, not Jan 1st
later, like our Western Calendar. Eth'anim being
the 1st month of the Jewish Civil year: BUT it is also the 7th
month of the SACRED year. This meant that God's sacred
year began in the spring at Abib,(Nissan) another 6 months earlier.(
see Calendar entry in Unger's Bible Dictionary.)
This peculiarly bought Calendar revealed that
God's Sacred Year, the same kind of year that He told Moses,
begins 9 months before our Secular Calendar date."
this shall be the first month of the year to you."
Exodus 12:2-3 And Yahweh said to Moses and
to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 This month shall be the chief of months
for you. It shall be the first of the months of the year for you.
3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel,
saying, On the tenth of this month, they shall each take for themselves
an
animal of the flock for a father's house,
a flock animal for a house. 4 And if the house is too small for a flock
animal,
he and his neighbor next to his house shall
take according to the number of souls, each one according to the mouth
of
his eating, you shall count concerning the
flock animal.
5 A flock animal, a perfect one, a male,
a yearling, shall be to you. You shall take from the sheep or from the
goats.
6 And it shall be for you to keep until
the fourteenth day of this month. And all the assembly of the congregation
of Israel shall kill it between the evenings.
7 And they shall take from the blood, and put it on the two side
doorposts
and on the upper doorpost, on the houses in
which they eat it.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in this
night, roasted with fire, and they shall eat it with unleavened bread and
bitter
herbs. 12 And I will pass through
in the land of Egypt in this night. ( the Jewish 15th of the month , after
6pm)
And I will strike every first born in the
land of Egypt, from man even to livestock. And I will execute judgments
on all
the gods of Egypt. I am Yahweh!

So, all this time we have been keeping a Calendar, Roman, reading
Scripture and never realising, certainly
not in my case, that the years mentioned in the Bible, are of course,
God's sacred years, not Roman years.
In other words, with God and the obedient Jews,
New Year is the first day of the first month, sometime in
March/April when the first barley ripenes. The Month of Abib (or Nissan
from the Babylonian.) Not January 1st.
A real example of this is that the Sacred Godly time, in Spring, Barley
ripening, is 1/1/2000, but the Roman world,
dates the same day as 17/3/1999ad.
To give God's time a precise accuracy He uses the Moon, not the Sun.The
Spring Barley ripening fixes the
1st APPEARANCE of the Spring NEW MOON as day 1, of month 1 for the
Israelites, from 1440 bc onwards.
We, both Gentiles and Jews, at some time, have left
this Calendar and formed our own, ignoring God's.
This can be disastrous with regard to understanding Eschatology, that
is, prophecies of the End times.
This was the first thing that God showed to
me. God taught me. Not a man.
Isa 54:13 and all your sons will be
taught of Yahweh; and the peace of your sons will be great. Joh 6:45
It has been
written in the Prophets, They "shall" all
"be taught of God." So then everyone who hears and learns from the Father
comes to Me; Isa. 54:13
Then, the second thing He showed to me was this.
An old particular date is known by us, very accurately. The date of
the total Eclipse at Ugarit, an old port on the West
facing Eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. An old town on the coast
of Northern Syria, the remains of which are
called Ras Shamra. Close by a small harbour called Minet el-Bieda (
meaning White Harbour.)
Their script records, mention a Solar Eclipse, which is easily verified
from Astronomical Software as occurring on
May 9th 1012 bc at 6: pm. Shortly after this, their Temples ( to Dagon
& Baal) and the town, suffered a disastrous
fire. Their Astronomical records have been found in the debris.This
is well described in David Rohl's book, which
again , in the natural, I would probably not have bought, thinking
it too secular, though it was'nt.
Whilst bashing away at my own Chronology of Historical
time, I then noticed quite by, what the World calls
chance, but we know is God's leading: that this well recorded
Eclipse was exactly 490 years before 522bc.
Darius the GREAT took the throne of Persia in 521 bc. Now 490 is 10
Godly periods of 49 years. He directed the
Jews to announce Jubilees in the 49 th year, but they could think of
it and count it after a further 1 year as a 50 year
period, taking that next year, the 50th year as a sort of holiday,
back to 'as things were' period. The year of Jubilee.
You can read all about this in Leviticus 25
:8 onwards. God also uses 490 years as the time between the
Exodus, 1440
bc, and the completion of His Temple by Solomon in 950 bc.
God also used 490 as 70 x 7 years decreed
for Israel.
God is still determined to run the last 7 of these, as the 'time of
Jacob's trouble, the 7 years of TRIBULATION.
(a separate teaching subject, as to why and how we know this.)
The year 1012 bc 9th May 6:09 pm.(The Ugarit Solar Eclipse.) and year
522 bc. The year just prior to Darius the Persian taking
power in Babylon. This is a gap of 490 years.( 10 of Godly periods
of 49 years)
Through this, my attention had been drawn to the dates of DARIUS
the Great's Kingship. ( by the way, a former
King, Darius basically set over CYRUS's Babylon, after Daniel's miraculous
deliverance from the Lions den, became
a total believer in Yahweh, the GOD of Daniel.) Read
Dan 6:25-28. (This fact of God's power upon his predecessr,
his father, would be known to Darius the Great.(who, by his fruit,
appears to have been saved, he blessed the
Israelites.) I also looked at the date
of CYRUS DECREE, 538bc and the dates of Daniel's visions in the 1st
& 3rd years of Belshazzar's rule, which were 555bc & 553 bc.
God said to me," Now why have I specified these
particular dates so carefully, so accurately, even to the
day?" I then had the flash of inspiration
which has nothing to do with intelligence.
Were these dates connected to the 2520 years which were given to Daniel
to be hidden? See Daniel 12.
I am not being super-spiritual, (terrible expression) but this is how
it actually happened. We are promised that the
Holy Spirit will lead us into all wisdom. Not our own wisdom, but the
Wisdom of God. When it actually happens it is
always an amazing surprise, though it should not be. Rather like someone
giving their life to Jesus. Always a pleasant
shock..
My first task was to list the highly complete, explicit
dates given for around this time, in the Prophetic Books of the
Bible.
These were as follows:-
Page 9.
I have just looked at other significant dates to see if they were mirrored
in the past, They were. 1012bc, 1917 &
1948.
Even the Second World War was pre-figured, if only we had known. But
knowing would'nt have altered anything.
1012 bc gives 2520-1012=1508ad.Luther ordained 2 May 1507ad.1 year
in his cell, He knew the truth and wanted
to
teach it.This point is at 1508 ad. See History of the Protestant Church
Vol 1. 9/5/1012 bc not a Biblical date but an
observable Act of God never the less. Signalling from 2520 years earlier,
the Reformation start by a major Eclipse..
633 bc Jeremiah raised up 2520 lands on Hertzl.1897
ad.
603 bc gives 2520-603=1917 ad Start of Exile. dan
2:32-45.God gave Daniel a complete picture of the World's
Empires.
582 bc gives 1938 ad The amazing
dates of the 7 years of Nebuchadnezzar's madness. In our times seen as
the
575 bc gives 1945 ad. 7 years of
World War II madness. I think this is an incredible timing, It cannot be
coincidence..
572 bc gives 2520-572=1948 ad. 25th year of
our Exile,14 th yr since Neb., took Jerusalem. Eze 40:1. 10/1/3436.
Vision of Palmoni measuring on the Temple Mount..Tell
Israel everything you see. Eze43:1 on. He saw the Glory of
God of Israel appearing from the East. The Eastern
door of the Temple is to remain shut.The Lord is there.
555-553 bc gives 2520-553=1967 ad.Dan 8:1 Gabriel
explained the vision. It concerns the time of the End, the time
of wrath. v23 on.(Antiochus Epiphanes of 167 bc is
referred to.The type of the Antichrist to come.Dan 7 & 8. visions.)
538 bc Ezra 6:3
Cyrus decree date. 1982 ad. 2520-538
522 bc gives 2520-522=1998 ad.we are here today. End
of an 490 year era with God in the Old Testament.
521 bc begins a short era =1999ad. (2520-521)
Next come details of the End times.
1/6/520bc. . Hag 1:1 In the second year of Darius the king,
in the sixth month, in the first day of the month,
the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel, the son
of Shealtiel, governor of Judah; and
to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying:
2000 ad.
24/6/520bc Hag 1:15 in the twenty-fourth day of the sixth
month, in the second year of Darius the king.
God is saying here that their work is blighted by Him because they
are too much in the World and their offerings are
thus tainted. God wants our hearts, not our money.And die to the World.
24/9/520bc Hag 2:10 In the twenty-fourth of the ninth month,
in the second year of Darius, the word of
YAHWEH came to Haggai the prophet, saying,
?/8/520bc Zec 1:1 In the eighth month, in the second year
of Darius, the word of YAHWEH came to
Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
Turn from your evil ways and evil doings. 2000 a.d.( 2001God
really, see below.)
24/11/520bc Zec 1:7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh
month, it is the month Shebat, in the second
year of Darius, the word of Yahweh was to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah,
the son of Iddo the prophet,
saying,.............
4/9/518bc Zec 7:1 And in the fourth year of king
Darius, the word of Yahweh was to Zechariah, in the fourth
of the ninth month, in Chislev. (518 bc) -2520=2002 ad.God's 6003.=2003.see
below.
3/12/516bc Ezra 6:15 And this house was finished on the third
day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth
year of the reign of Darius the king. Temple finished. 2520-516=2004
ad, our 23/2/2004ad.
In mathematical terms there is a year missing because no '0' year comes
between 1ad and 1 bc.
Thus the forward dates from God's viewpoint become. 522>>1999, 521>>2000,
520>>2001, 519>>2002,
518>>2003, 517>>2004,516>>2005, 515>>2006.
Which is the case anyway-- for another reason, God is 9 months ahead
of Roman time. 514>>2007, 513>>2008.
So, in terms of our years, we don't have to make any adjustments, amazingly.
What has become quite clear from this, is that, even if the date were
unknown, which it is'nt, it shows that there is a
God acting here. Thus it follows that the pattern is to do with what
God is doing. The events of apparently randaom
History, actually came at times determined by God...............spaced
from other times.
There is an amazingly timed Eclipse for 1999 ad and another at 2006
ad.

2006 2007 th year of God , all over.
2007 2008 th year of God, the Millenium 1000 years begins.
And that seems to be it for dates.
I can recommend that you study the above passages, in context, and
see how it, or if it, pre-figures today's events.
Is 1888 to 2008ad., a mirror image of 633 bc to 513 bc ? And
if so what are the implications of this?
Was I intended to use the 2520 year gap which Jesus gave to Daniel &
which is twinned with Israel's power being
subdued by the Antichrist......use 2520 upon these dates, and what
would I see if I did ?
Then I began to ADD the 2520 YEAR GAP GIVEN TO DANIEL
to THE ABOVE DATES.
At this stage, I had no idea where this was leading. Keep trusting
the Lord with all your heart. His ways are beyond
our understanding. When I had done this, I had to adjust the dates
out of where they are now, adjust them forward
9 months, as they were not written in the godly form of date, as from
Moses time, but by a King's year.
Then I had to convert this Godly time into today's dates, so that we
can see at a glance what is going to happen and
when.
For those who want to know how to do this.
Get some New Moon tables, an Almanac, or Astronomical software, like
Expert Astronomer, Sky or Redshift.
(Redshift has the Eye of Horus in it's introduction, D....... k.........)
Whatever the Scriptural dates, which are almost certainly King reign
date years, GOD'S DATE will begin about 9
months before that. In this way.
1) Take your given date, say 1/1/2000ad. Look up the New Moon which
corresponds to the time of Barley Harvest IN
THE YEAR BEFORE THAT , in this case it turns out to be the N.M. of
17/3/1999ad. This date is the 1st day of the
1st month of God's year 2000. In normal nomenclature but bearing in
mind it is'nt really ad., this can be written
1/1/2000 God's time. But of course, in reality it is 1/1/6000 as far
as God is concerned.
Now, as I said truthfully, I had no idea of what this
would show, so you can imagine my feelings when the
following table was seen. Would any of these dates have divine significance?
The answer was , YES ! Hallelu-Yah !
If one says, "Oh this all a bit much really", then one has to answer
the question , does God put unnecessary
information in the Bible , or why is the information there, of what
use is it?
You will see that only in the closing 3 months of God's years are His
years are the same as ours, ie, 12th month of
2004 runs parallel with February our 2004 ad. This is because for 9
months of the year He is 1 year ahead of us, in
year date only , until the closing 3 months when His are the same as
ours. Because God starts His years at the 1st nm
of the spring month, Mar/Apr., not Jan 1st.
Paul said, 1Th 5:1 But concerning the
times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need for it to be written.
1Th 5:4 But you, brothers, are not in
darkness, that the Day should overtake you as a thief.
Page 11.
Perhaps this treatise is why you shall not be in darkness concerning
'that day'. (NOT the Rapture, but the End times.)
The information is in fact there, to be dug out, together with the
revealed signs in the heavens.The amazing fact of
God's 24/11/2000 coinciding exactly with man's last day at 31/12/1999,
seems to be confirmation that this
interpretation of the times is the correct way to do it.
It confirms that the dates given in the prophets in Darius' years
have divine significance for today. What happened when the Jews came
back to the land from exile and rebuilt the
Temple was a true type of what would happen later when the Jews again
rebuild the Temple in our days.Which has'nt
happened yet. Amazingly, it seems that GOD KNEW WHAT OUR calendar times
would be.
(the Temple may not be necessary as God said He would come and live
in men's hearts as His Temple.)
1967ad is to 553bc as 1999 is to 521 bc Because 1999-1967=32 and 553-521also
=32.(see Dan 8:1 for 553bc)
These factual dates given in the Bible show that God is prepared to
reveal this part of his plans to those who believe.
If you did not believe in God you would never be brought to look for
these facts.
1012bc-2520=1508ad.Martin Luther prepares to challenge R.C Church.1509
in God's years.
The Reformation was divinely planned to happen.
God's history has been running 2520 removed from earlier times. Jesus
did'nt give a starting date, because the gap
could only be applied to known, specifically important moves of God,
certainly from here it seems as far back as
1508ad.
It is humbling to remember that Prophetic words of the Bible are there
to explain what is happening, and not
to foretell the future with any high degree of accuracy.
Jesus explained this, as being known only to God. The dates are not
the subject, but WHAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN, the event details are known in advance only to God. We have
however been given much of this
detail in Revelation etc., But not all. And not always tied to
dates. Though some are given.
The Eclipse of August the 11th, 1999 ad. (1/1/6000 God. )
This can be said of the 1st day of the 6th month of the 2000th (6000th)year
of God. see Unger's Bible Dictionary.
It is the ingathering of the Grape Harvest, (with the spiritual trampling
of the Grapes ( the unrighteous) to follow in
the Great Tribulation, the last 3 1/2 years.) This represents the period
before the judgment.
Re 14:18 And another angel went forth
out of the altar having authority over the fire. And he spoke with a
great cry to the one having the sharp sickle,
saying, Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine
of the earth, because its grapes are ripened.
It
is also the time of general harvesting, pomegranites, Doutrra, Maize,
Cotton.
The Apostates will be gathered by God into their New Age Gatherings.(
as we see them, the WCC is a feature of
this, all religions together.) This is the gathering before the trampling.
Therefore this gathering under the Pope will be
the fulfillment of this prophecy in Rev14:18. It is accelerating at
the moment.
Additionally, throughout the month of August, the Cornet is sounded
to warn of the approaching Civil Year. A secular
date.
The final Eclipse of 28/3/2006ad--1/1/6007 God, signals
a different thing altogether.
The end of the Tribulation & the start of the Millenium.
Another amazing sign in the heavens was the bombardment of Jupiter
in 1994. (1995 God) The BIGGEST Solar
system event that man has ever witnessed. TWENTY ONE explosions , the
last the size of the earth itself. Happening
between 16th and the 22nd of July. Spanning exactly 6 days. It
is also acts as 7 year days warning to 2001 ad, the
start of the Tribulation. The antitype of Noah's 7 day warning by God
of time to the first rain of the Flood. Also, the
timing in God's years, 8 to 14th 5th Mth.1995 Godtime.The Solar Eclipse
of this year on 10/5/1994 12:08pm was
directly over the U.S.A. Grapes gathering begins. Signifies
destruction. In 6 years. This study blessed me during and
upon completion, for the reason that it shows that Yahweh God is there.
He is not to be liberalised away, not to be
allegorised away, He is not having that. And secondly, He is God of
limitless power. Anyone who can direct Comets
about the heavens with the timed precision of Hyukataki and Hale-Bopp
receives my total respect. He is awesome in
majesty as the Bible says He is.
The year 1012 bc 9th May 6:09 pm.(The Ugarit Solar Eclipse.) and year
522 bc. The year just prior to Darius the
Persian took power in Babylon. This is a gap of 490 years.( 10 of God's
Jubilees of 49 years) Using the 2520 year
gap which Jesus gave to Daniel & which is twinned with Israel's
power being subdued by the Antichrist.
( Moving the dates 520 bc., etc., 2520 years into the future.) gives
us these future dates. (nm=New Moon date)
A DATED VISION GIVE US A FUTURE DATE AND A
SIGNIFICANT EVENT TAKES PLACE--. 2520 ON.
The event may or may not be obviously related to the verses. They are
rather signs to wonder at the timing..

You can see above, in Red, that three of the dates of Darius
have Divine significance, they cannot be
coincidences. The first notable date is marked by a supernaturally
dated Eclipse. The second marks the end
of Mankind's 1999 year, his last day even. The 3rd is Temple completion.
As time goes on for the last seven
years of this Age, more notable dates will be seen.
This NOT the end of the World , it is the End of this 6000 year age.
YOU CAN BE SAVED.
As we are just entering these years I cannot tell you what is going
to happen, apart from the
Eclipse which is Astronomically forecastable. Because of the Eclipse
it seems that God is going to
do something on each of the dates outlined above. The Seven years are
marked by an Eclipse at
beginning and end, both close to Eden.
To recap and assist you, look carefully at
what occurs on these dates-- 4/9/1999, 9/9/1999,
6/2/2000, 4/4/2000, 25/3/2001, 19/11/2002
ad, 23/2/2004 ad, 29/3/2006ad. There will be signs
in the Heavens and in the Earth --of some
description.
This is the SEASON of the LAST DAY.
IT IS NOT a specific date for JESUS RETURN.
He will return for His 'born-again followers', at any time FROM
when you read this. HIS
RETURN IS IMMINENT.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHETHER YOU ARE 'BORN AGAIN' , READ WHAT JESUS
SAYS
in the Bible, and come in and see us, OR any 'Spirit filled believer'.
a simply 'religious' person of a
conventional established church, or a Restoration type Charisamatic
church, may not understand.
"How will I be able to tell who to consult? " you ask. Answer, " Anyone
who does'nt scoff at this brief."
Page 13.
1Pe 1:23 having been born again, not
by corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the living word of
God,(that is Jesus.) and remaining forever.
also particularly, John chapter 3 :1-23.
If you feel these need
explaining to you, please just come in. (T.D.Miller, Little Mount,
Pottery Lane, Brede, TN31 6HB. Telephone
01424-882305.)
Examining the Eclipses more closely, we see that they are 1:45pm 1999ad
to 1:05pm 2006ad., 6.5 years and 40 minutes
apart. Surely this is an amazing fact.
1 before the Tribulation & 1 after it.
The 40 minutes difference is not at all embarrassing. It is arbitrary
anyway, depending where exactly you want the totality closest.
to. Secondly this is a Biblical study and nowhere in the Bible is time
mentioned, other than to the closest hour. Minutes are
never mentioned, as far as I know. Time spanned = 6 1/2 yrs actually.
Jesus shortened it.
Therefore we shall say these two Eclipses are amazingly, 7 years
apart. This is clearly a 'sign' in the heavens of God's
action, and we know what happens in between them, the Tribulation..
May God bless you as you read this, it seems to be a timetable revealed
by God for the End of this Age, hidden for
2520 years.
The two Comets of 1996 & 1997 are not connected to this study on
2520 years except that they were prior warnings
from God of awesome things coming soon.
Jupiter drew attention to Grape gathering as does the Eclipse of 1999ad.
From the 8th of the 1st month to the 14th of the 5th month. But

22nd July 8:05-14:05 Jupiter bombarded 6 days-grapes of
wrath , Week of Atonement.

a reality. Comet 16/1 4-Apr
Resurrection
522 1998 1997 09-Mar
Comet 14/1 23-Mar Passover
These two latter events were remarkably timed to remind
men of Jesus' calling, His sacrifice, His death on the Cross and
His miraculous resurrection. I cannot see any way
of escaping the divine and miraculous timing of Jupiter's bombardment
(grape gathering)and these two Comets.(Christ's passion
week.)
