Introduction
This book covers Bible prophecy starting with the seventy
weeks of Daniel and going through the book of Revelations. If you
are like me, I could never make sense of prophecy using the
dispensational method of understanding prophecy. They try to
jumble everything into a seven-year tribulation period that is not
even mentioned in the Bible. This book shows how the prophecies
of the Bible are laid out and have been fulfilled in sequential order.
You will also see that you can place a date stamp on each and every
prophecy that is in the Bible. By doing this, Bible prophecy comes
alive with an order and a meaning that makes perfect sense. When
you see how and when prophecy was completed you will be
amazed at how easy it is to understand the entire prophetic
picture.
If you are familiar with the book of Daniel, you will
remember that Gabriel told Daniel to close up the book of the
vision that he had received. As a result, Daniel did not finish giving
the details of his vision. The remainders of the details of this vision
are given in the book of Revelations. The Apostle John reopened
the book of Daniel and finished giving us the details. John saw the
same vision that Daniel had seen so that he could now finish giving
us the details of the vision.
The book of Daniel and Revelations were written in code.
This is because only those who were earnestly seeking the Kingdom
of GOD are to be given the understanding of these books. Once one
becomes familiar with the various coded messages of the Bible it
starts to become clear what the message reveals. For now we will
start with the layout of the book of Revelation. The book is divided
into:
• "the things which thou hast seen" - events of chapter 1,
which are things that happened in the past.
2
• "the things which are" - the seven churches that existed at
that time and to which John wrote in chapters 2 and 3,
• "the things which shall be hereafter" - events from chapter
4 until the end of chapter 22. These things began shortly
after John’s time. The things, which are coming after, are
coming for the purpose to prove and perfect the Church of
GOD. These things happen in the sequence laid out in the
Bible. Now that they have happened, we can look back in
history and say this is that which happened.
For us, in our time of 2018, the things that shall be hereafter
start in chapter 12 of Revelations. The prophecies of Daniel through
Revelations 11 are all in the past. In Revelations 12 we are given a
sign in heaven. This sign appeared in the heavens on 23 Sep 2017.
This sign is the starting point for the end time events. We are very
close to the end, much closer than most people realize!

The Seventy Weeks of Daniel (597BC-42AD)
Anyone who has the slightest knowledge of Bible Prophecy
has heard of the seventy weeks of Daniel. This is in reference to
Daniel 9:23-27 where the angel Gabriel spoke to Daniel and told
him that there were seventy weeks assigned to Daniel’s people.
As we go through these scriptures, you will see that the
seventy weeks that GOD gave to Daniel’s people is about the
transfer of the Kingdom from the Aaronic Priesthood over to the
Messianic Priesthood. What you will discover is that YEHOVAH
assigned seventy weeks for the covenant to go on under the
Aaronic Priesthood. As the seventy weeks ended, Yeshua came on
the scene. After His death and resurrection, the Kingdom is
transferred from the sons of Aaron to Yeshua Messiah. We will go
through this verse-by-verse:
23 "At the beginning of your supplications the command was
issued, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed;
so give heed to the message and gain understanding of the vision.
Daniel had been praying and interceding for several weeks
on behalf of his people, the Jews (The House of Judah), which were
in captivity in Babylon. To answer Daniel’s prayer YAH sent the
angel Gabriel.
24 "Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy place.
This verse establishes a time line for Daniel’s people, and it
gives the reason for the time line. Seventy weeks were established.
4
The word “weeks” is from the Hebrew word shaw-boo'-ah, which
means, “literally sevened, that is, a week (specifically of years).” So,
a “week” is seven years and seventy weeks means seventy weeks
of years. In YAH’s reckoning of time every seventh year is a Sabbath
year, so there were seventy Sabbath years established for Daniel’s
people. The total for Seventy Sabbath years amounts to four
hundred and ninety years.
The purpose of the seventy weeks has to do with the
covenant of YEHOVAH with His people. It is the wrapping up of the
old covenant with the sons of Aaron as High Priests and the
ushering in of the new covenant where Yeshua Messiah will be
anointed to be the High Priest.
Gabriel begins by telling us that there have been seventy
weeks decreed for the people and for the holy city; then he ends
the sentence by telling us that the most holy place will be anointed.
This is referring to a shift in the way the temple is structured in the
age of the Messiah. During the time of the old covenant, the temple
was the dwelling place for YEHOVAH’s Shekinah glory to dwell. The
priesthood of the old covenant presided over a temple made of
stones. Under the new covenant, the Shekinah glory will dwell in
the hearts of GOD’s people. So the anointing of the most holy one
is the anointing of the King and Priest in this new temple structure.
The Most Holy Place is the body of Yeshua Messiah. Yeshua
alluded to this in the gospels, such as John 2:18-21, where He said
to the Jews, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it
up." The Jews therefore said, "It took forty-six years to build this
temple, and will You raise it up in three days?" But He was speaking
of the temple of His body.” We also are told this in Revelations
21:22, “And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty,
and the Lamb, are its temple.” So as you can see, the temple is no
longer made of brick and stones, but now it is the body of the
Messiah Yeshua.
5
In the Bible, when someone is anointed it means he has
been chosen by YEHOVAH to hold a position over Israel. The Kings
and High Priests of Israel are anointed as a sign that they have been
given the title and position of their office. In this case Yeshua is not
only Anointed to be King and Priest, but also to house the Shekinah
Glory of the Most High.
Yeshua was anointed to take over the office of High Priest
by the woman in the Pharisees house when she poured a bottle of
perfume on His feet. It is significant that this took place while
Yeshua was in the presence of the leadership of Israel. Yeshua had
this to say to the Pharisee when this took place, "You did not anoint
My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume.
(Luke 7:46) This was a rebuke of the political and spiritual leaders
of Judah. The Pharisees did not recognize their Messiah and anoint
Yeshua to be King and Priest over Israel. Instead, YEHOVAH had to
send this woman to anoint the Most Holy Place, Yeshua Messiah.
The anointing of Yeshua signaled that the Aaronic Priesthood was
ending to be replaced by the Priesthood of Yeshua Messiah.
Because this happened when Yeshua was in the presence of the
leadership of Israel YEHOVAH was sending a message that a new
leader was now anointed to take the office and given the position
of leadership over Israel.
This is similar to the story of David. When David was
anointed to be King of Israel, his anointing was a message to Saul
and to the nation of Israel that the office of the King had been
removed from Saul and given to David. It was years later before the
change took place but it did take place.
When Gabriel said, “To finish the transgression, to make
an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in
everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy,” all this
has to do with the change is the structure of the covenant. Man
continually transgressed the Law because the Priesthood was
ineffective at bringing man close to GOD. Also, the sacrifice of
6
animals was not able to take away sin. Now as High Priest and as
our eternal sacrifice, Yeshua is able transform man so that he will
not continue to transgress the Law, thus bringing in everlasting
righteousness. Yeshua’s sacrifice effectively atoned for our sins;
therefore, he made an end to sin for those who will accept Him.
Yeshua was the result of hundreds of prophecies concerning His
coming, thus sealing up prophecy.
25-26 "So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress. “Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing…
The decree to rebuild Jerusalem went out in about 445 BC.
From that time, until the Temple was rebuilt it took seven weeks,
or forty-nine years. This happened in the time of Ezra who rebuilt
the temple and re-established the sacrifice. The book of Ezra tells
the story of how in times of distress the Temple was completed and
the sacrificial system was renewed.
Now for the next sixty-two weeks, or four hundred and
thirty four years the Mosaic covenant resumed. This brings us to
the time of the Messiah. Once these sixty-two weeks concluded
sixty-nine weeks of the prophecy had been fulfilled. At this time,
Yeshua was cut off. He was cut off, rejected and executed by His
people. Yeshua was cut off from his earthly Kingdom and from
being the High Priest of His people, of which he had been anointed
by YEHOVAH. He ascended to Heaven where He waits to return and
take His Kingdom.
From the time that Yeshua was cut off, there was one week,
or seven years left in the time frame given by Gabriel. This is where
modern theologians add a gap and say that because Yeshua was
cut off there is a gap in the time frame given by Gabriel. They say
7
that the final seven years will take place just prior to Jesus returning
to the earth. There is a seven year time period in the end time
where the there is a peace treaty made with the nation Israel, but
that is not necessarily a gap.
The context of what Gabriel was saying has to do with the
time frame given to Daniel’s people to carry on with the covenant.
During their captivity, Daniel was the leader of the Jews (The House
of Judah) and Daniel’s concern was for his people. This is the
context of what Gabriel was telling Daniel. Gabriel told Daniel that
YEHOVAH assigned seventy sevens for his people. After the seventy
sevens, YEHOVAH’s dealing with His people would be over under
the Mosaic covenant with the sons of Aaron as priests. From that
point in time forward the Jews would no longer deal with the
Aaronic Priesthood concerning matters of spiritual worship and
access to GOD, they will now deal with Aaron’s predecessor the
Messiah.
As a whole, Judah rejected the Messiah and He was cut off.
Daniel’s people were supposed to be a Royal Priesthood who would
take the message of YEHOVAH around the world in order to draw
as many into the Kingdom as would come. They were supposed to
demonstrate GOD’s Law and the blessings that came along with
keeping His Law. Rather than doing this, they continued in a cycle
of transgression and judgment. The Mosaic covenant was not
accomplishing its intended purpose so YAH assigned an end to it,
and it ended at the end of the seventy weeks.
Because the Messiah was cut off does not mean that the
time frame stopped. After Yeshua was crucified and cut off there
were still seven years left for Daniel’s people. What happened
during this time is that the followers of Yeshua went forth to all of
the Jews, both in Judea and all over the world, to preach the Gospel
of the Kingdom. Remember, the Gospel was to go to the Jew first
and then to the gentile. Within the remaining seven years, every
Jew in every city around the world was located, given the gospel of
8
the Kingdom, and told about Yeshua Messiah. Once all of the Jews
received the good news of the Messiah, the seventy weeks of
Daniel ended along with the old covenant. The sons of Aaron no
longer held the office of High Priest. You could no longer have your
sins removed with an animal sacrifice at the Temple; Yeshua was
now to be your sacrifice. YAH would not end the Old Covenant
without notifying His people. Those who believed converted to the
prophecied Messianic Faith.
The end of the seventy weeks of Daniel took place around
the year 42 on the Julian calendar. From this point forward, you
could no longer access YAH through the sons of Aaron. Matters
concerning the Kingdom and access to YEHOVAH would now go
through Yeshua Messiah. YEHOVAH would no longer deal with man
through the Mosaic covenant where the sons of Aaron were
Priests. The Law was now officially transferred to Yeshua. Take note
that the Law was not done away with, it was transferred. The Law
was never done away with; instead, it was just transferred to
Yeshua, who is now both King and Priest of Israel.
It was at about this time that Paul and Peter received their
commission to take the Gospel to the Gentiles. They along with
those who received the Shekinah Glory in the upper room went to
all nations to spread the Gospel of the Kingdom to see what the
gentiles would do with it.
In this next verse, Gabriel is explaining what would happen
after the seventy weeks were over and the time of the gentile’s
begins.
27 …and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who
9
makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."
This scripture covers the time from the destruction of the
temple until the final forty-two month period at the end of the age,
when the beast is destroyed. There are many scriptures about this
forty-two month period. Sometimes it is called “1260 days” and
sometimes a “times, time and half a time,” but all of these are
talking about this same period of time when the beast breaks his
covenant with Judah. It will be during this three and one half year
period that YEHOVAH’s wrath will be poured out and the Beast
Empire is destroyed.
The prince who is to come is easy to identify because we
know who the people were that destroyed Jerusalem and the
Temple. Gabriel first used of the word prince in reference to the
true Messiah. So the prince who is to come is one who is similar to
the Messiah, but of course, he is not the true Messiah because he
is tied to the people who destroyed the temple. We all know that
the people who destroyed the temple were the Romans. What this
means is that the prince who is to come is tied to the Roman
Empire. It is easy to see who this prince is because he is the prince
who is worshiped by the Holy Roman Catholic Church. He is the one
who is lawless because he nailed the law to the cross. Over time,
his name became known as Jesus. Jesus is the prince who is to
come. He took the place of the true prince, Yeshua, who was cut
off.
We all know that the word antichrist means, "in place of," so
Jesus, the one who was to come, took the place of the true
Messiah. Those who follow this false messiah have done away with
the Law and they have changed times and season. Christianity is
based upon sun god worship, plain and simple. Their worship is
based upon the sun god cult that was created at the Tower of
10
Babel. Christianity does not keep a single commandment of the
Bible. Here are some examples of this:
• Instead of keeping the Passover Christianity keeps
Easter. It seems that everyone knows that Easter is “the
bare breasted goddess of fertility and sexual” desire
except for Christians.
• Instead of keeping the feast of Tabernacles, Christians
keep Christmas. How is it that Christians do not
understand that they are actually worshipping Nimrod
the founder of the sun god cult when they keep this
holiday?
• Instead of keeping the Sabbath, which is the seventh day
of the week, Christians worship on the first day of the
week and celebrate the “venerable day of the sun god,”
Sunday.
• The gospel of the Kingdom was replaced by the gospel of
grace. Christianity ignores the message of the Kingdom
because of the next item on this list.
• Yehovah’s word is about the institution of Divine
Law/Torah, but Christianity has taken the stance that the
Law was done away with. This makes Christianity
Lawless, and this ties Christianity to the lawless one.
I could go on for many chapters to show how Christianity
abandoned the true Messiah and created a lawless messiah of its
own. (See my book Knowing YEHOVAH) There is a very distinct
difference between the prince that is to come, Jesus, and the true
prince, Yeshua; these where just a few of the hundreds of examples
that I could give.
“And its end will come with a flood.” The word flood is used
figuratively here. Strong’s defines flood as: a deluge (literally or
figuratively): - flood, outrageous, overflowing. With this definition
11
in mind, you can see that Jerusalem was figuratively flooded by the
Roman army and destroyed.
Now Gabriel goes on to say, “…even to the end there will
be war; desolations are determined.” Gabriel told us that this is
what is going to happen to Jerusalem from that point forward.
There have been around forty-nine wars fought over Jerusalem.
Jerusalem has remained completely desolate since that time. Even
today, the desolation continues with the Muslim Mosque setting
on the temple mound and every pagan religion being practiced in
Jerusalem.
The desolation was not contained just to Jerusalem,
however; during the time when the Roman Catholic Church reigned
supreme under the banner of Jesus Christ was the most desolate
time the earth has ever known. It was so desolate that it is called
the dark ages. It was not until the Church’s stranglehold on the
world was broken that the world started to experience some relief
from the desolations. Because of Great Britain’s and later the
United States movement toward Godly principles, the earth has
seen a glimpse of the blessings that can come from God. Even then
it is a far cry from what it could have been had we been following
the true Messiah.
Now Gabriel’s message takes us to the end of the age. The
rest of what Gabriel said is yet in the future of those of us who are
alive today.
28 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one
week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice
and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come
one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one
that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."
12
The Roman or Beast Empire, which now is manifest as the
ten toes of Daniel’s statue, and who follows their anti-messiahs,
will soon make a covenant with the remnant of Daniel’s people,
(the House of Judah), which is modern day Israel. Remember, the
beast is a worldwide Empire that is still in control of the world
today. It now controls the world through the United Nations and
the United States is the leader of this federation. Satan, the beast
who makes desolate through his Beast Empire, under the banner
of its false-messiah, will soon make a covenant with the nations of
the world claiming that he can bring peace to the earth. I will talk
more about this later.
Since the rebirth of the nation of Israel, every President of
the U.S. has tried to cause Israel to make some type of covenant
with her enemies. It will be interesting to see how this will play out,
but Gabriel tells us that it has been decreed, “a complete
destruction.” All of those who chose not to follow the true Messiah
will be destroyed. Like in the days of Noah, the flood of GOD’s
indignation will soon come upon the earth and there will be a
complete destruction of the wicked.
As you can see the seventy weeks of Daniel is about the
transference and superseding of the Priesthood from the sons of
Aaron to Yeshua Messiah, along with a brief description of the
times of the gentiles.
The purpose of this beast empire is to be a deluding
influence. Those who will just blindly follow this beast when it does
not follow the dictates and patterns laid down by the Bible will be
exposed for their hatred of the true GOD. Yeshua told us that if we
love Him we would keep His commandments. Since Yeshua and the
Father are one, Yeshua’s commandments are the Father’s
commandments, so if we love Yeshua we will keep the
commandments as they are written down for us in the Torah/Law.
13
Daniel 10, 11 and 12 The events of Daniel 10 and 11 were all fulfilled in the past.
They took place from the time of Daniel up to the rise of the Roman
Empire. Many want to put these events into the future and this is
why dispensational prophecy does not make any sense. The events
of Daniel 11 actually describe the Beast Empire during the seventy
weeks of Daniel. They describe the fall of the Babylonian Empire;
the rise and fall of the Medio-Persian Empire; the rise and fall of
the Grecian Empire; and the rise of the Roman Empire. They
describe how the Roman Empire came to power and how it became
the dominating force at the time when Yeshua walked the earth. A
good article that describes these events is found on the web site
herealittletherealittle.net. Read the article entitled Daniel 11,
which an expose outlining the historic events described in Daniel
11.
On the other hand, Daniel 12 is looking into the future and
is speaking of the end-times. In Daniel 12: 11-12 the angel gives a
timeline for us to use:
Dan 12:11-12 "And from the time that the regular sacrifice is
abolished, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will
be 1,290 days. (12) "How blessed is he who keeps waiting and
attains to the 1,335 days!
Notice that blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to
the 1335th day. This goes along with the book of Revelations where
many times the phrase “he who overcomes” is used. He who
overcomes will attain. Here in the book of Daniel it is telling us
exactly how long we have to wait to attain. By “attain,” the angel is
talking about attaining the Kingdom. This verse gives a very precise
time for us to wait and it gives us a marker to use on this timeline.
When we reach this point in time, the Kingdom will be here and
then we can attain it.
14
The days as used here are prophetic days, or in other
words, a day is equivalent to a year. This is reasonable to assume,
since we know that the seventy weeks of Daniel were also given, as
a day equals a year. First, the angel tells us that from the time that
the regular sacrifice is abolished until this abomination is set up will
be 1290 days or prophetic years. Then he said that another span of
time will elapse with the abomination of desolation set up and it
would be 1335 days or prophetic years. After this amount of time,
those looking for the Messiah will attain the Kingdom.
The regular sacrifice was given at the Temple in Jerusalem
twice a day for hundreds of years without ceasing. This started at
the time of Moses and went on without ceasing until the
Babylonians sacked Jerusalem. This sacrifice is called the “morning
and evening oblation.” When Babylon sacked Jerusalem this
sacrifice was abolished until the Jews returned to Jerusalem and
started giving the daily oblation once again.
So the regular sacrifice was abolished when the Babylonians
sacked Jerusalem in 597BC. If you add 1290 years starting at 597BC,
you come to 691AD. This was the year that the Dome of the Rock
was completed on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This is the
abomination of desolation referred to by this angel. Now if you add
the 1335 years to the time when the abomination was set up you
come to the year 2026AD. This is when we will be able to attain the
Kingdom. Remember this date because you will see it again.
Next, we will move to the book of Revelations and you will
see how it continues the prophetic picture that was begun in the
book of Daniel.
15
Rev 1-3 – Message to the Churches (42AD-
81AD)
After the resurrection and ascension of Yeshua Messiah,
the Apostles were sent forth to evangelize the world. They started
with the nation of Israel and evangelized the Jews (the House of
Judah). After this, their commission expanded to bring in the
gentiles (the House of Israel). All these converts from the gentiles
will eventually be grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel. The
Jews do not have to be graphed in because they are still married to
YEHOVAH. The House of Israel, on the other hand, was divorced by
YEHOVAH and had returned to being gentiles. This will be a key to
understanding end time events. At this time, they were not
bringing these coverts back to the Land of Israel because all of Israel
was to be scattered throughout the nations until the end when the
Messiah will return and gather Israel, His Church, to Himself in the
Promised Land of Israel.*
Out of this evangelization, many churches sprang up
throughout the earth. As we can see by the messages to the seven
churches of Asia, the Church as a whole had not been perfected
yet. Before the Church is perfected, it will have to go through the
fire of tribulation. Like gold, which is put through the fire to draw
out its impurities, the Church would have to go through the fire
before it would become pure.
Whenever one sees the word Church, one needs to
remember that much of the Church has fallen into apostasy and
does not follow the true dictates of the Bible. As such, there is the
true Church that follows the Bible and the false Church that does
not follow the Bible. Mainline Christianity believes that the
Law/Torah was done away with, and they still keep pagan festivals
such as Easter, Christmas and they worship on “the venerable day
of the sun” (Sunday). This goes for the Catholic Church and the
Protestant Church. They also consider themselves as being a
separate entity from Israel and many believe that they replaced
16
Israel. This is not the truth. The Apostles made it very clear that the
converts to the faith become part of the Commonwealth of Israel.
In Ephesians 2:11-13, Paul told us, “…remember that you were at
that time separated from Messiah, alienated from the
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of
promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in
Messiah Yeshua you who once were far off have been brought near
in the blood of Messiah.” Israel is a commonwealth designed for
the welfare of its people. It is through the High Priest of Israel that
our sins are atoned for providing life. This is done in accordance
with the Law/Torah. You cannot have your sins atoned for outside
of the commonwealth of Israel where Yeshua Messiah is the High
Priest and where the Torah is the Law of the Land. Through the
blood of Yeshua, we are allowed into the commonwealth where we
have access to all of the covenant promises.
Notice that Yeshua picked seven churches in which to send
his message. This is because the Church is represented by the
number seven. Even though there were more than seven churches
at the time, Yeshua picked these seven to represent them all.
The item in the temple that represents the Church is the
Menorah. The Menorah has seven branches and it produces light.
The menorah is representative of the Church, which is to be a light
to the world.
The message of Yeshua to the Church, which is represented
by these seven churches, is that we are going to go through a time
of purification and those who come out of the other end, those
who overcome and still have “the word of the testimony (Torah)
and the blood of the Lamb (Yeshua)” will be saved. The Torah is the
testimony of YEHOVAH. This is why the “Ark of the Covenant” is
also called the “Ark of the Testimony.” A testimony and a covenant
are the same thing, and if we are to live in GOD’s Kingdom, it is by
this covenant or testimony in which we live.
Israel is a commonwealth of people who accept GOD’s Law
and who wish to live by His Law. YEHOVAH is going to institute
divine Law on the earth and those who reject His Law will not be
17
invited to stay. The Torah is the written Word and Yeshua is the
Word made flesh. Yeshua the Word made flesh will rule according
to the written Word or Torah. This is the message that the Church
must understand if it is going to overcome. Israel is the Kingdom,
and it is ruled by the Word.
*When YEHOVAH cast the northern Tribes of Israel or the House of Israel out of the Land, they became gentiles and they were sifted through all the nations. This process caused all nations to be, to some extent, part of the lost tribes of Israel. This was part of YAH’s plan of redemption to the nations. By doing this, YEHOVAH created one ethnic group. The apostle Paul said that there is only “Jew and gentile.” All the gentiles have been made one through the sifting of the lost tribes of Israel through the nations.

Rev 5 – The Book with the Seven Seals
(Around 81AD) It is believed that the Apostle John had his vision of the book
of Revelations around 81AD. In his vision, he saw future events. In
his vision, he saw one who would break the seals of a document
that was kept in the throne room of heaven. As the seals were
broken, events would begin to play out on earth, as ordained by
the Almighty.
In order to understand the seven seals you need to learn
the background of what this book is. It is a Ketubah or marriage
contract.
The Ketubah
In the Hebrew culture, when a girl and boy get married they
create a Ketubah. The Ketubah is what we would call a marriage
contract. When a boy finds a girl who he wants to marry, he takes
his parents and goes to the girl’s house. At the house, the boy will
knock on the door and see if the girl would open up the door to
him. If she does then the boy and his parents sit down over a meal
with the potential bride and her parents and they work out a
marriage contract, or Ketubah.
The Ketubah stipulates what each of the parties would bring
into the marriage, and what the rules and regulations of the
marriage would be. When the couple work out all the details of the
Ketubah then seven people would put their seal on the contract.
These seven people were normally the Fathers, the minister, and
other witnesses to the contract, normally kinsmen, or relatives.
When the Ketubah is agreed upon and sealed, it is a binding
contract and the couple is considered betrothed.
If the terms of the Ketubah are broken then there is a
penalty for breaking the terms. If the bride is found to be
19
adulterous then the husband could either, put her away, or he
could pay the price for her sins and redeem her.
The question is where did the Hebrew come up with this
custom? The answer is that they got it from Mt. Sinai! When
YEHOVAH gave the Law to Israel, what he was doing is creating a
Ketubah. At Mt. Sinai Moses was a mediator for the marriage
between the children of Israel and YEHOVAH. The Law or Torah was
a Ketubah written out, which stipulated what the conditions of the
marriage would be. We see this Ketubah, starting in Exodus 19 and
going all the way through Exodus 23 where YEHOVAH spelled out
the terms of the Ketubah for the people through Moses. Then in
Exodus 24 Moses read all of the terms of their marriage to the
children of Israel, and in one voice they all said, “All the words
which YEHOVAH has spoken we will do!"
(Exodus 24:3-11) Then Moses came and recounted to the people all the words of YEHOVAH and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which YEHOVAH has spoken we will do!" And Moses wrote down all the words of YEHOVAH. Then he arose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel. And he sent young men of the sons of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to YEHOVAH. And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and the other half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. Then he took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, "All that YEHOVAH has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient!" So Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Behold the blood of the covenant, which YEHOVAH has made with you in accordance with all these words." Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and they saw the GOD of Israel; and under His feet there appeared to be a
20
pavement of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself. Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the nobles of the sons of Israel; and they beheld GOD, and they ate and drank.
As you can see, after the children of Israel agreed to the
terms of the Ketubah, Moses made it official with a blood sacrifice,
which he sprinkled over all the people. After this, the Nobles of
Israel went up to dine with YEHOVAH where the Ketubah was
sealed. When the Nobles of Israel went up the mountain, it was to
put their seals on the Ketubah, which YEHOVAH then kept in His
heavenly Throne Room. This is where the Hebrew custom for
weddings came from. The children of Israel were repeating what
they had seen YEHOVAH do at Mt. Sinai when He married Israel.
Yeshua will soon repeat this very thing when we renew our
covenant with YEHOVAH. Yeshua alluded to this with His letter to
Sardis, ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My
voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with
him, and he with Me.” (Rev 3:20) Like the boy who finds the girl of
his dreams and wants to marry her, he will knock on the door of
her house and ask to come in so that he can make his proposal of
marriage. If you open the door for Yeshua then you are willing to
hear the question. If you do not open the door then you are not
willing to hear Yeshua’s proposal. If you open the door to Yeshua
then He will point to the Torah and say, are you willing. Then you
will have to decide.
This is what Yeshua is referring to when he said that He will
knock at the door and those who are interested He will dine with.
If we are willing to live according to the Ketubah, and say yes to
Yeshua’s proposal, we will take communion with Him. We already
know what the conditions of the Ketubah are because they are
written in the Torah. Those of us who agree to the terms will be
gathered together for the wedding supper of the Lamb. There we
21
will renew our covenant by the blood of Yeshua and seal it with
seven seals, just as it was at Mt Sinai the first time.
One might ask, what happened to the Ketubah that was
created and sealed on Mt. Sinai? The answer is that we see the
Ketubah from the old covenant in Revelations 5:
And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?" And no one in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look into it. And I began to weep greatly, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look into it; and one of the elders said to me, "Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals." And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of GOD, sent out into all the earth. And He came, and He took it out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. And when He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art Thou to take the book, and to break its seals; for Thou wast slain, and didst purchase for GOD with Thy blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. "And Thou hast made them to be a kingdom and priests to our GOD; and they will reign upon the earth." And I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing." And every created thing, which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, "To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and
22
dominion forever and ever." And the four living creatures kept saying, "Amen." And the elders fell down and worshiped.
This document, that no one could open, is the Ketubah that
YEHOVAH and the Nobles of Israel signed and sealed on Mt. Sinai.
The reason that John began to weep is because he understood
what this document is, and he understood the ramifications if no
one were willing or able to open this document. If no one were
willing or able to open the Ketubah then all of humanity would be
condemned by it, “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory
of GOD.”
Praise YEHOVAH on High, for He sent His son to pay the
price for our transgressions. There is one who is willing and able to
break the seals of the Ketubah, and His name is Yeshua (YEHOVAH
is salvation). Because Yeshua lived a sinless life, by living according
to the Ketubah, which is the Holy Law of GOD, and because He was
willing to pay the price for our sins by giving His life for us on the
cross, He is able to open the Ketubah that would condemn us. He
saved us! Praise YEHOVAH!
Now you must be wondering, how can this be, because
when Yeshua opens the seals of this book judgments appear? The
answer is that most Bible commentators focus only on the negative
judgments. Judgements can also be favorable when we are judged
as being faithful. In reality, the book of Revelations is revealing two
groups of people being judged, those who love YEHOVAH and His
commandments and those who hate YEHOVAH and refuse to keep
His commandments. Those who love Him will be judged favorably
and given the Kingdom, but those who hate Him will be judged and
condemned to everlasting death.
As you read through Revelations you will notice that the
scene will change systematically, sometimes focusing on those who
are receiving punishment for their refusal to repent, and
sometimes focusing on those being rewarded for their repentance
23
and for their faithfulness. YAH is dealing with two Kingdoms
simultaneously, His Kingdom and Satan’s kingdom. As I stated
earlier, the Church has to go through the fire in order to be purified.
If you are a gentile ou can forget about a rapture, if you are going
to the Kingdom, it will be through the fire of purification.
Now that Yeshua has removed the seals, the blessings and
the curses described by the Ketubah are being released on
mankind. Each seal represents something that is released on the
earth in its prescribed time according to the set times established
by Yehovah. As you read this book, you will see that the blessings
and curses have been progressively released. Very soon, we will see
the crescendo of judgement as YAH pours out the bowls of wrath
on an evil world. I hope all of you are willing to repent and return
to the Ketubah where the blessing is.
The Law (the Ketubah) does not save us; the shed blood of
the Lamb of GOD saves us. However, Yeshua did not shed His blood
so that we could remain in our sin. When He gave His life to pay for
our sins, it was to give us the opportunity to repent and return to
the covenant. If you will recall, the first message that Yeshua had
for us when He began His ministry is, “Repent for the Kingdom of
GOD is at hand.” The thing that we are to repent of is the fact that
we have all walked away from the Law of the Kingdom. When we
return to His Law, it is there that we find the Kingdom and the
mercies of the King. It is there that the statute of the Law that
provides for the Lamb to take away our sins is made available to us.
Yeshua did not come to rewrite the principles of the
Ketubah. GOD’s Law is the same from everlasting to everlasting. He
does not change. Like all Biblical prophets, Yeshua came to direct
us back to the safety of YEHOVAH’s covenant. It is there that we
find salvation, through the blood covenant and the blood of the
Lamb.
24
When we redo our marriage vows with YEHOVAH there will
be four changes to the covenant. These do not change the structure
of the covenant; instead, they are changes in the way the covenant
is administered. The first is circumcision; instead of being
circumcised in the flesh, we will now be circumcised of the heart.
The second is the sacrifice; instead of sacrificing animals, we will
give the sacrifice of obedience. Third, the High Priest of Israel will
no longer be the sons of Aaron; the High Priest is now Yeshua.
Forth, is the Kingship; our King is now Yeshua the son of David, after
the order of Melchizedek. These are the only changes. (See my
book entitled Knowing YEHOVAH for an in depth clarification of the
Law). The commandments are good and they create a good and
loving society for those who embrace them. We do not want to do
away with the Law, as Paul stated, “the Law is Holy.”
YEHOVAH told us what is going to change when He enacts
our new covenant with Him. "But this is the covenant which I will
make with the house of Israel after those days," declares YEHOVAH,
"I will put My Law within them, and on their heart I will write it; and
I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” (Jer 31:33, Heb
10:16) The change that YEHOVAH is enacting with the new
covenant is not going to be a change in the Law. The thing that will
change is going to be the hearts of men.
YEHOVAH could not care for His people under the old
covenant because man continued to rebel against Him. The
Ketubah was no longer valid and became obsolete because all have
walked away from it. We have all sinned. YEHOVAH was not
allowed to be the GOD of His people because of rebellion. This is
what YEHOVAH said through His prophet Jeremiah
"But this is what I commanded them, saying, 'Obey
My voice, and I will be your GOD, and you will be My people;
and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that
25
it may be well with you.’ Yet they did not obey or incline
their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the
stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and
not forward.” (Jer 7:23-24)
At Mt. Sinai YEHOVAH told his people that if they would
obey Him He would be their GOD and they would be His people.
However, all of YEHOVAH’s people have rebelled and have not
listened. They have not made YEHOVAH their GOD.
It is no better today than it was then. Today the people who
proclaim to be the people of GOD and of the Bible do not care
about YEHOVAH’s commandments. They keep a false sabbath
called “the venerable day of the sun god” (Sunday); they worship
the goddess Easter and try to dress it up by calling it resurrection
day; and they do not even know what the feast of Tabernacles is,
instead they keep a false feast called Christmas. They do not know
the true name of GOD because they do not know the true GOD and
they do not care what his name is.
Because Yeshua paid the price for our sins and because the
Law is being transferred over Him, He is able to open the seals on
the Ketubah. As He opens each seal judgments are released;
judgments of blessings and judgments of curses, just as they are
written in the Ketubah they will be released; the curses for those
who are in rebellion; and the blessing for those who will repent.
These blessings and curses are spelled out in Deuteronomy 28. This
is part of the Ketubah. It is a lengthy verse, but it is important to
understand what you are in for if you do not keep the Law. If you
decide to repent and turn back to the Law, you will reap blessings,
or if you decide to continue in your false religions, you will reap
curses. Remember the blessings and curses written below are what
are being released when Yeshua opens the seals in the book of
Revelations. The first part is the blessings you will receive if decide
26
you want to keep the Law, and the second part is the curses if you
refuse to keep the Law:
The Blessings
"Now it shall be, if you will diligently obey YEHOVAH your GOD, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today, YEHOVAH your GOD will set you high above all the nations of the earth. "And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you will obey YEHOVAH your GOD. "Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. "Blessed shall be the offspring of your body and the produce of your ground and the offspring of your beasts, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock. "Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. "Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. "YEHOVAH will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you; they shall come out against you one way and shall flee before you seven ways. "YEHOVAH will command the blessing upon you in your barns and in all that you put your hand to, and He will bless you in the land which YEHOVAH your GOD gives you. "YEHOVAH will establish you as a holy people to Himself, as He swore to you, if you will keep the commandments of YEHOVAH your GOD, and walk in His ways. "So all the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of YEHOVAH; and they shall be afraid of you. "And YEHOVAH will make you abound in prosperity, in the offspring of your body and in the offspring of your beast and in the produce of your ground, in the land which YEHOVAH swore to your fathers to give you. "YEHOVAH will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. "And YEHOVAH shall make you the head and not the tail, and you only shall be above, and you shall not be underneath, if you will listen to the commandments of YEHOVAH your GOD, which I charge you today, to observe them carefully, and do not turn aside from any of the words which I command you today, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
27
The Church of Jesus Christ has taught that the Law, which is
also our covenant with GOD, has been done away with. This is
wrong. Blessings only come to those who keep the
commandments. We see the results of these blessing in the book
of Revelations 19:7-9, “Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory
to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has
made herself ready." And it was given to her to clothe herself in fine
linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of
the saints. And he said to me, "Write, 'Blessed are those who are
invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.'" And he said to me,
"These are true words of God” Righteous acts are defined as, acts
performed according to the Law. The blessing is for those who
choose to do their best to keep YEHOVAH’s commandment not
adding or taking away from them. These receive the blessing and
they receive eternal life through the blood of the Lamb. This
message runs throughout the Bible and it is very plain in its
delivery.
On the other hand, those who refuse the Law are cursed.
You will notice that the curse goes on seemingly forever. YEHOVAH
is very angry with those who refuse to obey and keep His
commandments:
The Curses
(Deu 28:1-68) "But it shall come about, if you will not obey YEHOVAH your GOD, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes with which I charge you today, that all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you. "Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country. "Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. "Cursed shall be the offspring of your body and the produce of your ground, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock. "Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out. "YEHOVAH will send upon you curses, confusion, and rebuke, in all you undertake to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, on
28
account of the evil of your deeds, because you have forsaken Me. "YEHOVAH will make the pestilence cling to you until He has consumed you from the land, where you are entering to possess it. "YEHOVAH will smite you with consumption and with fever and with inflammation and with fiery heat and with the sword and with blight and with mildew, and they shall pursue you until you perish. "And the heaven which is over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you, iron. "YEHOVAH will make the rain of your land powder and dust; from heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed. "YEHOVAH will cause you to be defeated before your enemies; you shall go out one way against them, but you shall flee seven ways before them, and you shall be an example of terror to all the kingdoms of the earth. "And your carcasses shall be food to all birds of the sky and to the beasts of the earth, and there shall be no one to frighten them away. "YEHOVAH will smite you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors and with the scab and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed. "YEHOVAH will smite you with madness and with blindness and with bewilderment of heart; and you shall grope at noon, as the blind man gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways; but you shall only be oppressed and robbed continually, with none to save you. "You shall betroth a wife, but another man shall violate her; you shall build a house, but you shall not live in it; you shall plant a vineyard, but you shall not use its fruit...."Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people, while your eyes shall look on and yearn for them continually; but there shall be nothing you can do. "A people whom you do not know shall eat up the produce of your ground and all your labors, and you shall never be anything but oppressed and crushed continually. "And you shall be driven mad by the sight of what you see. "YEHOVAH will strike you on the knees and legs with sore boils, from which you cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head. "YEHOVAH will bring you and your king, whom you shall set over you, to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you shall serve other gods, wood and stone. "And you shall become a horror, a proverb, and a taunt among all the people where YEHOVAH will drive you. "You shall bring out much seed to the
29
field but you shall gather in little, for the locust shall consume it. "You shall have sons and daughters but they shall not be yours, for they shall go into captivity. "The cricket shall possess all your trees and the produce of your ground. "The alien who is among you shall rise above you higher and higher, but you shall go down lower and lower. "He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail. "So all these curses shall come on you and pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, because you would not obey YEHOVAH your GOD by keeping His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. "And they shall become a sign and a wonder on you and your descendants forever. "Because you did not serve YEHOVAH your GOD with joy and a glad heart, for the abundance of all things; therefore you shall serve your enemies whom YEHOVAH shall send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in the lack of all things; and He will put an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you. "YEHOVAH will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as the eagle swoops down, a nation whose language you shall not understand, a nation of fierce countenance who shall have no respect for the old, nor show favor to the young. "Moreover, it shall eat the offspring of your herd and the produce of your ground until you are destroyed, who also leaves you no grain, new wine, or oil, nor the increase of your herd or the young of your flock until they have caused you to perish. "And it shall besiege you in all your towns until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout your land, and it shall besiege you in all your towns throughout your land which YEHOVAH your GOD has given you. "Then you shall eat the offspring of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters whom YEHOVAH your GOD has given you, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy shall oppress you. "The man who is refined and very delicate among you shall be hostile toward his brother and toward the wife he cherishes and toward the rest of his children who remain, so that he will not give even one of them any of the flesh of his children which he shall eat, since he has nothing else left, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy shall oppress you in all your towns. "The refined and
30
delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and refinement, shall be hostile toward the husband she cherishes and toward her son and daughter, and toward her afterbirth which issues from between her legs and toward her children whom she bears; for she shall eat them secretly for lack of anything else, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy shall oppress you in your towns. "If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, to fear this honored and awesome name, YEHOVAH your GOD, then YEHOVAH will bring extraordinary plagues on you and your descendants, even severe and lasting plagues, and miserable and chronic sicknesses. "And He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you. "Also every sickness and every plague which, not written in the book of this law, YEHOVAH will bring on you until you are destroyed. "Then you shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of heaven for multitude, because you did not obey YEHOVAH your GOD. "And it shall come about that as YEHOVAH delighted over you to prosper you, and multiply you, so YEHOVAH will delight over you to make you perish and destroy you; and you shall be torn from the land where you are entering to possess it. "Moreover, YEHOVAH will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth; and there you shall serve other gods, wood and stone, which you or your fathers have not known. "And among those nations you shall find no rest, and there shall be no resting place for the sole of your foot; but there YEHOVAH will give you a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and despair of soul. "So your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you shall be in dread night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life. "In the morning you shall say, 'Would that it were evening!' And at evening you shall say, 'Would that it were morning!' because of the dread of your heart which you dread, and for the sight of your eyes which you shall see. "And YEHOVAH will bring you back to Egypt in ships, by the way about which I spoke to you, 'You will never see it again!' And there you shall offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but there will be no buyer."
31
As you can see, YEHOVAH is very angry over those who
rebel against His Law. I hope you are willing to repent because if
you are not willing to repent and embrace the Holy Law and
become part of the Kingdom then these curses are what you have
to look forward to!
Now that you understand what is happening after Yeshua
opens the seals we can start to explain each of the seals. The seals
affect all of humanity as the blessings and curses are poured out.
The First Seal (96 – 192AD)
This is the beginning of the “times of the gentiles.” Israel
has been sacked by the Roman Legions and is no longer a nation.
YAH’s focus is no longer on Israel; instead, it is now on the nation
that dominates the world, the Roman Empire. YAH has placed the
Gospel in the midst of the Empire to see what the gentiles will do
with His commandments, in light of the risen Messiah. As you will
notice as we go through the book of Revelations its primary focus
is on this Empire. The seals give us a picture of what happens
through time as the beast nation rules the world.
Rev 6:1-2 And I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals,
and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice
of thunder, "Come." (2) And I looked, and behold, a white horse,
and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him;
and he went out conquering, and to conquer.
32
Horsemen represent war. These first four seals depicting
the four horsemen are the advancement of the beast empire, who
is expanding its territories by conquering surrounding states. Four
is normally indicative of the spread of evil.
This heathen empire is contrary to the living GOD, is anti-
Israel and anti-GOD. At this point in history, it was called the Roman
Empire. This is the final beast of Daniels statue, which is also called
the “beast of the sea,” breaking and grinding the nations into
pieces.
This first seal describes the Nerva–Antonine dynasty of the
Roman Empire. The Nerva–Antonine dynasty was a dynasty of
seven Roman Emperors who ruled over the Roman Empire from 96
AD to 192 AD. These Emperors are Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian,
Antoninus Pius, Lucius Verus, Marcus Aurelius, and Commodus.
The bow was the symbol of this dynasty.
During this time, the Roman Empire was going out
conquering and expanding its borders. If you look up the word
crown used here, you will see that it is referring to a laurel wreath,
which were commonly worn by the Roman Emperors.
The Second, Seal (193 – 222AD)
Rev 6:3-4 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

As you are probably starting to see, the book of Revelations
is a progressive historical fulfillment of prophecy. Every prophecy
in the Bible is specifically speaking about a specific period in history.
The second seal describes the Severan dynasty, which was
a Roman imperial Dynasty ruling the Roman Empire between 193
and 235. The dynasty was founded by the Roman general Septimus
Severus, who rose to power as the victor of the 193-197 civil war.
The reign of this dynasty resulted in a period of revolution
and civil war. There were twenty-seven contenders for the throne
during this time. This civil unrest allowed the Germanic tribes to
invade the western providences of the empire. The sword was the
symbol of this dynasty.
The Third Seal (223-235AD)
Rev 6:5-6 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Severus Alexander was Roman Emperor from 222 to 235
and the last emperor of the Severan dynasty. He succeeded his
cousin Elagabalus upon his assassination in 222, and was ultimately
assassinated himself, marking the epoch event for the coming crisis
of the third century. After nearly 50 years of civil wars and foreign
invasion his reign saw much pestilence, and collapse of the
monetary economy, thus the balances in his hand. During his reign,
a coin was struck showing the balance. Due to the decline in
agriculture, the necessities of life become scarce bringing the high
34
price for wheat and barley. The oil and the wine were taxed items
so they were carefully monitored in order to bring in the highest
revenues to the government.
Forth Seal (235 – 284AD)
Rev 6:7-8 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
The Gordian dynasty reigned from 235-292. This was the
time known as the Crisis of the Third Century. The Roman Empire
nearly collapsed under the pressures of invasion, civil war, plague,
and economic depression. All of this caused the death of at least
one fourth of the Roman citizens.
By 268, the empire had split into three competing states:
the Gallic Empire, including the Roman provinces of Gaul, Britannia
and (briefly) Hispania; the Palmyrene Empire, including the eastern
provinces of Syria Palaestina and Aegyptus; and the Italian-
centered and independent Roman Empire, proper, between them.
Later, Aurelian (270–275) reunited the empire; the crisis ended
with the ascension and reforms of Diocletian in 284.
The crisis resulted in such profound changes in the empire's
institutions, society, economic life and, eventually, religion, that it
is increasingly seen by most historians as defining the transition
between the historical periods of classical antiquity and late
antiquity.

Fifth Seal (Historical Overview)
Rev 6:9-11 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
The followers of Messiah were being unmercifully
persecuted during the first, second and third centuries. Followers
of Messiah were murdered in every unspeakable way during this
time. These imperial persecutions are well known and are
documented in Fox’s Book of Martyrs. These imperial persecutions
are also known as the ten persecutions:
• First Persecution, Nero, A.D. 67
• Second Persecution, Domitian, A.D. 81
• Third Persecution, Trajan, A.D. 108
• Fourth Persecution, Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, A.D. 162
• Fifth Persecution, Severus, A.D. 192
• Sixth Persecution, Maximus, A.D. 235
• Seventh Persecution, Decius, A.D. 249
• Eighth Persecution, Valerian, A.D. 257
• Ninth Persecution, Aurelian, A.D. 274
• Tenth Persecution, Diocletian, A.D. 303
All of these Christians were slain because “they kept the
word of GOD and for the testimony they held.” Remember they did
not have the New Testament as cannon at this point; that came
36
later. The gospels and the writings of the apostles were around, but
they had not officially been made a part of cannon yet. To the early
Christians the Torah in light of the risen Messiah was cannon, and
that was the testimony they held.
Like the blood of Abel, the blood of these martyrs was
crying out to YEHOVAH for justice. These persecutions were not
over. The fifth seal consists of those who have been killed and those
who would be killed. Through the centuries, the true believers who
have tried to keep the Torah and the Sabbaths have always been
persecuted by the Beast Empire.
Sixth Seal (284-313AD) Rev 6:12-17 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
The sun, moon and stars are simply a reference to the world
governing powers. Mountains, island and rocks represent
prophetic kingdoms and people. Since the Tower of Babel, all
paganism has evolved around sun, moon, and star worship. The
37
earthquake is the split that took place in the Roman Empire
because of the before mentioned troubles. All of the civil unrest
had finally torn the kingdom apart.
This is when Constantine came on the scene. He ruled
during the Roman era called the “Tetrarchy and Constantinian
Dynasty from 284-364AD.” During this time, the Empire was
divided into four main regions; each having an Emperor, and these
regions were each subdivided into provinces, each providence
having an Emperor. During Constantine’s rein, he subdued three of
the main provinces, the Maxentian province, the Licinius province
and the Diocletian province, which was named according to who
ruled the province (306AD). By doing this, Constantine became the
controlling Emperor in all of the Roman Empire. In 313AD, he freed
the Christians and made Christianity the official state religion.
This fulfilled Daniel’s prophecy, which said, “As for the ten
horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise
after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will
subdue three kings.”
The ten horns is the beast empire, the ten kings are the ten
kings mentioned above and the one who will arise who is different
is Constantine. These three emperors were very cruel to the
Christians, especially Diocletian who had vowed to extinguish all
Christians. When their kingdoms were taken away by Constantine
these superstitious men thought that the wrath of GOD had come
upon the earth. Because of their cruelty toward the Christians, they
were tormented. Diocletian died insane, Maximilian committed
suicide, Licinius was tormented and died of a strange disease.

Rev 7 - The Great Multitude (AD 313-321)
7: 1-3 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of
the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no
wind should blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. (2)
And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun,
having the seal of the living God; and he cried out with a loud
voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth
There and the sea, (3) saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea
or the trees, until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on
their foreheads.”
The number four represents the spread of evil. The wind
that the angels were holding back was the Holy Spirit or the Word
of GOD. The earth is the false church, and the sea is the beast
empire and the trees are the tribes of that empire. This is all
pointing to the deliberate discard for the Bible.
The bondservants are those who would not deviate from
the commandments of the Torah. Because of this YAH commands
that they be sealed before judgments are rendered on those who
disregard the commandments. The seal that the bondservants
receive are similar to the “mark of the beast,” except that rather
than being marked for disobedience the bondservants are being
marked for obedience. All people will receive a mark, it is just a
matter of if it for obedience or disobedience. This mark is created
by what day of worship one keeps; is it the Sabbath as is required
by the Creator, or is going to be the venereal day of the sun god
(Sunday).
The first thing YEHOVAH did after creating the heavens and
the earth was to establish the Sabbath: Gen 2: 1-25 says, “Thus the
heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. By the
seventh day GOD completed His work which He had done, and He
rested on the seventh day from all His work, which He had done.
Then GOD blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it
39
He rested from all His work, which GOD had created and made.”
After completion of His creation, the first thing YEHOVAH did was
to sanctify the seventh day of the week. To sanctify means to set
something apart for a special purpose. There are a couple of
purposes for the Sabbath. One, it identifies the creator. Two, the
Sabbath is a sign throughout all generations that those who love
YEHOVAH will continue to keep the seventh day Sabbath signifying
that they are worshiping the true creator. We will get into this a
little later. Third, the Sabbath is a covenant. We will talk about this
first.
In the Law of Moses we read, “Therefore, you are to observe
the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall
surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that
person shall be cut off from among his people. For six days work
may be done, but on the seventh day there is a Sabbath of complete
rest, holy to YEHOVAH; whoever does any work on the Sabbath
day shall surely be put to death. So the sons of Israel shall observe
the Sabbath, to celebrate the Sabbath throughout their generations
as a perpetual covenant.” (Gen 31: 13-16) As you can see, the
keeping of the Sabbath establishes a perpetual covenant that is
required for YEHOVAH’s people. Anyone who does not keep this
covenant is put to death.
The Sabbath is a covenant within the greater covenant of
the Torah. The purpose of this covenant within the covenant is to
measure our obedience. This covenant is required for all who want
to enter the Kingdom. Christianity says that this covenant is only
for the Jews. The problem with this statement is that the Apostles
made it very clear that those who become part of GOD’s Kingdom
are grafted into the “The Common Wealth of Israel.” Since we are
grafted into Israel, it stands to reason that we have to keep the Law
of Israel, along with the Jews.
40
Do not let anyone mislead you; this scripture plainly says
that anyone who does not keep the covenant of the Sabbath
YEHOVAH will put to death. Christianity has no covenant with the
Creator because it does not keep this very important
commandment. Do not make the same mistake that Adam and Eve
made when they did not believe the Creator. His word was that if
they ate the forbidden fruit they would die. They did die! Eat the
fruit and die it is that simple!
In the New Testament Yeshua reemphasized the Sabbath
when He said, "For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath?"
(Matthew 12:8) Since Yeshua is the Lord of the Sabbath then if you
are not keeping the Sabbath you are not worshiping Yeshua the
Lord of the Sabbath, you are worshiping a false messiah. It is well
known that the Sabbath is on the seventh day of the week, which
is the day we now call Saturday. Because Christianity worships a
false messiah, it keeps the first day of the week called “the
Venerable Day of the Sun God” (Sunday).
The Sabbath is the primary means by which YEHOVAH
evaluates our faithfulness. When we keep the Sabbath, we are
marked as being faithful to YEHOVAH. If we do not keep the
seventh day Sabbath, the mark of disobedience is given, which is
also called the “mark of the beast.” This goes for the feasts of the
Lord as well, because they are also considered Sabbaths.
So what is the mark of the beast? Revelations 14:9-13 tells
us that those who receive the mark will have the wrath of Almighty
YEHOVAH poured out upon them, “And another angel, a third one,
followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the
beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or upon
his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of GOD, which
is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy
angels and in the presence of the Lamb.” As you can see from these
41
verses the people who have the mark of the beast are going to see
the full force of YEHOVAH’s wrath; they are going be tormented
day and night until their destruction, which will be an everlasting
destruction. In other words, after this death there will not be
another chance for a pardon and they will stay dead forever.
You can also see from the above scriptures that the people
who receive the mark of the beast do so because they worship the
beast and his image. The beast is clearly Satan and his mark is “the
venerable day of the sun god” (Sunday). Satan is posing as an angel
of light and presenting himself as the Christ. He wants to exalt
himself above YEHOVAH, and he will make as many people take his
mark as possible. The great whore who takes this mark is Satan’s
ally.
To find out where the Bible talks about the mark we have
to go back and find other examples of this concept of being marked.
The first thing is to define what is meant by the word “mark.” If you
look up the word mark in either the Greek or the Hebrew language
you will see that the word “mark” and the word “sign” can be used
interchangeably. The men who translated the Bible chose the word
mark in the above translation, but instead of “the mark of the
beast,” they could have said “the sign of the beast.” Therefore, the
mark of the beast is not necessarily a mark such as a tattoo, but it
is more likely a sign that identifies the people with the beast. It
would be like seeing someone rooting for the Dallas Cowboys every
time they play. This would be a sign that they are a Dallas fan. The
sign is that which identifies you with something, or marks you as
being a part of something.
Exo 31:13 tells us what the sign is that marks us as being a
fan of YEHOVAH, "But as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying,
'You shall surely observe My sabbaths; for this is a sign (or mark)
between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may
know that I am YEHOVAH who sanctifies you”. As you can see, the
42
sign that YEHOVAH is our GOD is the Sabbath. The thing that
identifies us as being His and as part of His Kingdom is the Sabbath.
YEHOVAH will not sanctify anyone who refuses the sign of the
Sabbath because they have chosen another god.
Since the sign of the Sabbath identifies us as belonging to
YEHOVAH, it only makes sense that the sign of the beast would be
something similar. The sign of the beast is, therefore, the false
sabbath. It is the “venerable day of the sun god” (Sunday), or in the
case of Islam, it is Friday.
Revelation 13 explains that the mark of the beast is a brand
of disobedience to Yehovah and His Law, and this mark is taken
upon the hand and the forehead. Since disobedience is described
as, something worn upon the hand and the forehead, then in the
same manner obedience is also a mark that is also worn on the
hand and forehead. In Deuteronomy 6 Moses told us, “Now these
are the commandments, the statues, and the judgments which
YEHOVAH your Elohim commanded me to teach you, that you
might do them in the land where you are going over to possess, so
that you and your sons and your grandsons might fear YEHOVAH
your ELOHIM, to keep all His statutes and His commandments…And
you shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as
frontals on your forehead.” The sign that binds us to YEHOVAH is
the keeping of the Law. This is not a literal mark, but instead it is a
symbolic mark that is formed by our actions and by the way that
we think. The forehead is the center of thought and will, and the
hand involves action. Therefore, if we take the time to learn the
Law (forehead), and then do the Law (Hand), that marks us as being
sons of obedience. If we love YEHOVAH then we will love His Law
and strive to obey Him. When we do, it marks us as being a member
of His Kingdom.
43
Many will say that the Sabbath is only for the Jew, but that
is not true. Through His servant Isaiah, YEHOVAH explains the path
of salvation for those of us who are not Jewish
Isa 56:1-7 Thus says YEHOVAH, "Preserve justice, and do
righteousness, for My salvation is about to come and My
righteousness to be revealed. "How blessed is the man who
does this, And the son of man who takes hold of it; who
keeps from profaning the Sabbath, and keeps his hand from
doing any evil." Let not the foreigner who has joined himself
to YEHOVAH say, "YEHOVAH will surely separate me from
His people." Neither let the eunuch say, "Behold, I am a dry
tree." For thus says YEHOVAH, "To the eunuchs who keep
My Sabbaths, And choose what pleases Me, and hold fast
My covenant, To them I will give in My house and within My
walls a memorial, and a name better than that of sons and
daughters; I will give them an everlasting name which will
not be cut off. "Also the foreigners who join themselves to
YEHOVAH, to minister to Him, and to love the name
YEHOVAH, to be His servants, every one who keeps from
profaning the Sabbath, and holds fast My covenant; even
those I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them
joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their
sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar; For My house will
be called a house of prayer for all the peoples."
The Sabbath day was established at the time of creation. It
is an image of YEHOVAH because He is the Creator. Man rebelled
against YEHOVAH, lifting up a counterfeit god and a counterfeit
sabbath to worship. It is going to come down to this, are you going
to worship the real thing, or are you going to worship the
counterfeit? You can worship the Living GOD and give Him honor
44
by observing the Sabbaths or you can worship the beast, whose
image was created by a rebellious people at the tower of Babel..
“Everyone who profanes the Sabbath will be put to
death.” This brings us to the “unpardonable sin.” Yeshua taught us
that the unpardonable sin is, “to blaspheme the Holy Spirit.” The
word blasphemes means: “to treat YEHOVAH or His sacred
things disrespectfully through words or actions.” The Sabbath is
sacred and it is a day that YAH set aside, or made to be holy. We
blaspheme the Holy Spirit when we do not follow His direction to
turn away from our sins, the sin of disregarding YAH’s sanctified
and holy things. The Sabbath is YEHOVAH’s sanctified and holy
thing so treat it as such.
Hebrews 4:9-11 Tells us, “So there remains a Sabbath rest
for the people of GOD. For the one who has entered His rest has
himself also rested from his works, as GOD did from His. Therefore
let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through
following the same example of disobedience.” When the author of
Hebrews is saying, “there is a day of rest,” he is talking about the
Sabbath. He is telling us to be diligent to keep the Sabbath because
not to do so is disobedience. Many people want to spiritualize this
and say, Hebrews is talking about the millennial Sabbath when God
returns to be with His people and it is not about the weekly Sabbath
or the Sabbath feasts. The only reason they do this is because they
are lawless and do not want to follow the true GOD. When the
author said, “Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that
no one will fall, through following the same example of
disobedience.” He is saying; keep the Sabbath so that you do not
fall like all those who have previously refused to keep the Sabbath.
As you can see, in the New Testament keeping the Sabbath
is just as important as it was in the Old Testament. If you claim to
be following the Messiah and you are not keeping the Sabbaths, as
stated in the Bible, then you are following the wrong messiah and
45
you will not see salvation. Remember, Yeshua told us, “I am the
GOD of the Sabbath.” He is the GOD of the weekly Sabbath and of
the Sabbath covenant.
The day of rest is always talking about the Sabbath, so, here
in Hebrews we see that if we do not keep the Sabbath we are in
disobedience and have fallen from grace. The reason was given in
a previous verse when the author of Hebrews stated, “For indeed
we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the
word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by
faith in those who heard.”(Hebrews 4:2) The word faith here has a
twofold meaning. One is faith as in believing that YEHOVAH means
what He says. Adam did not believe that YEHOVAH meant what He
said and now Adam is dead. Remember YEHOVAH’s words to
Adam, “If you eat thereof (speaking of the tree of good and evil)
this day you will surely die.” Adam and Eve did die because
YEHOVAH is not a liar. Second, faith has the meaning of being
faithful. In the Bible, the word “faith” is a verb not a noun.
Whenever you see the word faith in the Bible it is not only talking
about belief, but it is also talking about faithfulness, or obedience.
For the good news to be profitable, one must be faithful and keep
the faith.
In the Roman Empire, as the Faith of Yeshua started to gain
popularity, a competition went on between those who wanted to
keep their ancient practices, dressing them up to look biblical, and
those who wanted to keep the pure Faith of Yeshua Messiah. One
of these competitions was over the day of worship. Constantine
was emperor of Rome from AD 306 to 337. He was a sun worshiper
during the first years of his reign. Later, he professed conversion to
Christianity, but at heart remained a devotee of the sun. Edward
Gibbon says, “The Sun was universally celebrated as the invincible
guide and protector of Constantine.”
46
Constantine created the earliest Sunday law known to
history in AD 321. This was the decree:
On the venerable Day of the sun let the magistrates and
people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be
closed. In the country, however, persons engaged in
agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits:
because it often happens that another day is not so suitable
for grain sowing or for vine planting: lest by neglecting the
proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven
should be lost.
Chamber’s Encyclopedia says, “Unquestionably the first
law, either ecclesiastical or civil, by which the Sabbatical
observance of that Day is known to have been ordained, is the edict
of Constantine, 321 A.D.”
Following this initial legislation, both emperors and Popes
in succeeding centuries added other laws to strengthen Sunday
observance. What began as a pagan ordinance ended being
Christian regulation. The times and seasons that YEHOVAH had
ordained in His word were being changed.
Close on the heels of the Edict of Constantine followed the
Catholic Church Council of Laodicea (circa 364 AD), which says,
“Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday (Sabbath), but
shall work on that Day: but the Lord’s Day, they shall especially
honor; and as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that
day. If however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out
from Christ.” By this time the name Christian had changed its
meaning becoming a generic word that referred to all those who
followed the savior of the Roman Catholic Church. You can see a
clear distinction between those who were following the original
faith and those who were following the Roman form of worship.
47
Eventually the form of worship that the Roman Church
performed had nothing to do with the Bible. This led to what I am
calling the true Christian creed. What you are about to read is not
necessarily a creed; however, I am calling it a creed because it
displays the underlying spirit peddled by Christianity.
”I renounce all customs, rites, legalisms, unleavened breads
and sacrifices of lambs of the Hebrews, and all the other
feasts of the Hebrews, sacrifices, prayers, aspirations,
purifications, sanctifications, and propitiations, and fasts
and new moons, and Sabbaths, and superstitions, and
hymns and chants, and observances and synagogues.
absolutely everything Jewish, every Law, rite and custom
and if afterwards I shall wish to deny and return to Jewish
superstition, or shall be found eating with Jews, or feasting
with them, or secretly conversing and condemning the
Christian religion instead of openly confuting them and
condemning their vain faith, then let the trembling of Cain
and the leprosy of Gehazi cleave to me, as well as the legal
punishments to which I acknowledge myself liable. And may
I be an anathema in the world to come, and may my soul be
set down with Satan and the devils.” (Stcfano Assemani,
Acta Sanctorium Martyrum Orientalium at Occidentalium,
Vol. 1, Rome 1748, page 105)
As you can see, this creed banned everything that YEHOVAH
requires of us if we are to worship Him according to scripture. This
was not only anti-Semitism, but it was also anti-Christ, replacing
the true Messiah with a false. This statement expresses the
underlying sentiment of the Christian Church as a hole. In other
words, the new faith, based on the Roman form, would worship a
48
messiah of its own making and they would do away with the GOD
of the Bible, His Law, His people and the Jewish Messiah who
represents them. Christianity had rejected the Faith that the
Apostles taught and they rejected the GOD of the Bible. They
created their own new religion around the concept of a savior of
their own making. In doing so, they included many of the practices
from the old mystery religions. They claimed to use the Bible as the
central point of their religion, but they only gave the Bible lip
service.
Because of this departure from the faith, those who would
not compromise were marked on the forehead sealing them for
salvation.
Rev 7:4-8 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one
hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the
sons of Israel: (5) from the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand were
sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe
of Gad twelve thousand, (6) from the tribe of Asher twelve
thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from the
tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, (7) from the tribe of Simeon
twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the
tribe of Issachar twelve thousand, (8) from the tribe of Zebulun
twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from
the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed.
Tribulation has been ongoing through the centuries and we are encouraged to see that those who overcome will be saved and standing before the Throne of GOD when it is all over.
In prophecy, the number 1,000 is a multiplier. Whenever it is used, it represents the multiplication of the people. It does not mean there will be exactly that many people it just means they have multiplied. You get the twelve thousand by multiplying the tribes of Israel, which is twelve by 1,000. This means they have multiplied. Then you get 144,000 by multiplying 12,000 for each
49
tribe by twelve tribes. 144,000 is a number that represents the entirety of those who are saved. Just as the number seven represents the Church and the number ten represents the kingdom of the beast, and the number twelve represents God’s Kingdom, 144,000 represents the entirety of those who are saved.
The following verse gives a preview of the reward the 144,000 will receive:
Rev 7:9-17 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; (10) And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. (11) And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, (12) Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. (13) And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? (14) And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. (15) Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sits on the throne shall dwell among them. (16) They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. (17) For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Soon the resurrection will occur and we will be gathered to
for the wedding supper of the Lamb.
50
Seventh Seal (321-387AD)
Rev 8:1-5 And when He broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God; and seven trumpets were given to them. And another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand. And the angel took the censer; and he filled it with the fire of the altar and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake.
Constantine was still in power and the Christians were no
longer being persecuted. The prayers of the Saints had been
answered. The Christians were now free and the imperial
persecutions were over. After the Christians were freed, there was
a short period of peace in the Empire.
The problem now became that Constantine and his bishops
set out to formalize Christianity and bring it under the leadership
of the Roman Emperor. As previously stated, this ended up being a
pagan form of Christianity causing a shift in the beast empire and it
gave rise to the Roman Catholic Church. The preexisting pagan
Church of Rome took over the matters of faith and became the Holy
Roman Catholic Church. As the dominant ruling kingdom, they
decided to have religion their own way. Rather than keeping the
word of YEHOVAH and worshiping the true savior, what they did is
to wrap their pagan worship around the concept of a savior of their
own.
Because the empire did not repent and follow the word of
GOD, but instead created its own form of Christianity based on
pagan ritual, YEHOVAH prepared the seven trumpets to be
sounded. The trumpet indicates divine judgment on this pagan
51
empire who was wolves, now hiding in sheep’s clothing. This
trumpet also sounds the alarm to GOD’s people who were now
becoming complacent is this new friendlier environment. The
empire will start to be torn apart as the seven trumpets begin to
sound.

The Trumpets
The First Trumpet (387-410AD)
Rev 8:7 And the first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
In this verse, hail equals bombardment and besiegement.
This is the description of the fall of the Western Roman Empire,
which was one third of the Roman Empire.
The Sack of Rome occurred on August 24, 410. The city was
attacked by the Visigoths led by King Alaric. At that time, Rome was
no longer the capital of the Western Roman Empire, having been
replaced in that position first by Mediolanum in 286 and then by
Ravenna in 402. Nevertheless, the city of Rome retained a
paramount position as "the eternal city" and a spiritual center of
the Empire. The sack was a major shock to contemporaries, friends
and foes of the Empire alike.
This was the first time in almost 800 years that Rome had
fallen to a foreign enemy. The sacking of 410 is seen as a major
landmark in the fall of the Western Roman Empire. St. Jerome,
living in Bethlehem at the time, wrote that, "The City which had
taken the whole world was itself taken."
When the Visigoths, also known as Vandals, sacked Rome,
they destroyed and burnt everything. This is where we get our
word vandalism.
53
The Second Trumpet (410-434AD)
Rev 8:8-9 And the second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood; and a third of the creatures, which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed.
The mountain is a kingdom and the sea is the beast of the
sea or beast empire. The mountain that was thrown down into the
sea was Genseric King of the Vandals and Alans (428–477). He
established the Vandal Kingdom and was one of the key players in
the troubles of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century.
Genseric destroyed the Roman Sea fairing fleet and took control of
the Mediterranean.
The Third Trumpet (437-453AD)
Rev 8:10-11 And the third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters; and the name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood; and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
Biblically wormwood means, “Misery, bitterness, and
anguish.” The shooting star that YEHOVAH sent to bring further
judgment to the Beast or Roman Empire was Attila the Hun. Attila
the Hun was the ruler of the Huns from 434 until his death in March
453. Attila was a leader of the Hunnic Empire, a tribal
confederation consisting of Huns, Ostrogoths, and Alans among
others, on the territory of Central and Eastern Europe.
54
During his reign, he was one of the most feared enemies of
the Western and Eastern Roman Empires. He crossed the Danube
twice and plundered the Balkans, but was unable to take
Constantinople. His unsuccessful campaign in Persia was followed
in 441 by an invasion of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, the
success of which emboldened Attila to invade the West. He also
attempted to conquer Roman Gaul (modern France), crossing the
Rhine in 451 and marching as far as Aurelianum (Orléans) before
being defeated at the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains.
He subsequently invaded Italy, devastating the Northern
provinces, but was unable to take Rome. He planned for further
campaigns against the Romans but died in 453. After Attila's death,
his close adviser Ardaric of the Gepids led a Germanic revolt against
Hunnic rule, after which the Hunnic Empire quickly collapsed.
The Forth Trumpet (453-467AD)
Rev 8:12-13 And the fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were smitten, so that a third of them might be darkened and the day might not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way. And I looked, and I heard an eagle flying in midheaven, saying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe, to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!"
The sun and the moon refer to the pagan world. The stars
refer to the kings or in this case emperor of the pagan empire,
which was the Roman Empire or Beast Empire. This passage marks
the end of the Western Roman Empire, one third of the Empire.
This left only the Eastern and Southern parts of the Empire.
55
In 476AD Romulus Augustus, the last emperor of the
Western Roman Empire, was deposed by Odoacer, a German
barbarian who proclaims himself king of Italy. Odoacer was a
mercenary leader in the Roman imperial army when he launched
his mutiny against the young emperor. At Piacenza, he defeated
Roman General Orestes, the emperor’s powerful father, and then
took Ravenna, the capital of the Western empire since 402.
Although Roman rule continued in the East, the crowning of
Odoacer marked the end of the original Roman Empire, which
centered in Italy.
The last three trumpets, which are called the three woes,
will next be blown.
The Fifth Trumpet (467-717AD) (The First Woe)
In order to make this easier to follow I will go verse by verse
for Rev 9:1-11. This is the first of the three woes.
Now that the western part of the Roman Empire has fallen,
attention is shifted to the eastern part of the Empire. In the eastern
part of the Empire was the Eastern Orthodox Church. It is the same
as Catholicism, just without the Pope. It keeps the same false
sabbaths and the same superstitions.
As you will see, this prophesies about the rise of Islam,
which GOD will use to bring the first and second woe upon the
Beast Empire.
(1) And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven, which had fallen to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit was given to him.
56
The star that fell on the earth is Satan. I do not know if Satan
was cast out of Heaven on this date or prior to this, but I feel that
he is chained up in the pit at this point. In Hebrew the ruler of the
bottomless pit is called Abaddon and in Greek Apollyon. Islam calls
him Allah. This is why Islam is a totally demonically driven society,
because it is a pure form of Satan worship.
(2) And he opened the bottomless pit; and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit.
The smoke that came out of the pit is the false doctrine of
the Qur'an.
(3) And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
The locust is associated with the Muslim nations. If you lay
a map of the range were the locust swarms it is almost identical to
the map of the Islamic held nations. I have heard stories from
people who lived in Israel back when it was held by the Muslims
saying that the locust would swarm the land on a regular basis, but
when the Jews took possession of the land the locust no longer
swarmed the land. More significantly, Muslim tradition associates
the armies of Islam as locust who swarm their enemies.
(4) And they were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
Mohamad commanded his armies not to ruin the land when
they went in to conquer. They wanted the people they conquered
to pay tribute, and they could not do this if the land was ruined.
Those conquered were made to convert to Islam, thus having the
57
seal of Allah on their forehead. All of those who would not convert
to the religion of Islam were either put to death or made slaves.
(5) And they were not permitted to kill anyone, but to torment for five months; and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a man.
The locusts or Muslim warriors would go out for five months
each year to conquer, so the inhabitants of the beast or Roman
Empire were terrified for five months each year as the locusts
swarmed the land conquering and taking booty.
(6) And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; and they will long to die and death flees from them.
The type of Christianity that the Romans held was not one
of personal relationship and submission to YEHOVAH. They had a
religion, but it was not GOD’s religion. Because of this, they did not
have the courage to be martyred for their faith. Most converted to
Islam rather than be killed or made a slave.
(7) And the appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads, as it were, crowns like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. (8) And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
It was common of the Muslims of that time to wear golden
turbans decorated with jewels. They had long hair and beards. See
the below picture:
(9) And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to battle.
58
The Locusts were known for their Arabian horses and their
use of Calvary. They were also known for their chainmail armor.
The Sixth Trumpet (717-1453AD) (Second Woe)
Rev 9:12-21 The first woe is past; behold, two woes are still coming after these things.
Prior to the sixth trumpet, there was a time of relative
peace in the land. The Byzantine Empire was ruled by the Isaurian
or Syrian dynasty from 717 to 802. The Isaurian dynasty is chiefly
associated with Byzantine Iconoclasm, which was an attempt to
restore divine favor by purifying the Christian faith from excessive
adoration of icons. Any time the Church was attempting to return
to Biblical truths YAH would hold back his wrath and give them a
chance to repent. This period of peace was short lived because the
Empire soon turned back to their idolatry. When they did GOD’s
59
judgments returned and the Arab Sultan hired Turkish mercenaries
to punish the Byzantines who stopped paying tribute.
(13) And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, (14) one saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." (15) And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released, so that they might kill a third of mankind.
As we saw earlier, four is the spread of evil. These angels
are associated with false doctrine. Muslim tradition is that four
angels carried the Qur'an to the four corners of the earth. The
smoke or false doctrine of the Qur'an had spread to all of the
Ishmaelite’s and Edomite’s. This was their preparation for the evil
they were about to do.
(16) And the number of the armies of the horsemen was two
hundred million; I heard the number of them.
Some translations say, “The number of the troops of cavalry
was twice ten thousand times ten thousand…” This would only be
two million men. The armies that attacked the Eastern Roman
Empire were the Turks.
(17) And this is how I saw in the vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceed fire and smoke and brimstone. (18) A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths. (19) For the power of the horses
60
is in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents and have heads; and with them they do harm.
The color of the uniforms worn by the Turks was red (fire),
blue (hyacinth) and yellow (brimstone). The Turks were the first to
use cannons in battle. The cannons they used were decorated to
look like a lion’s head around the cannons opening. The wick to
light the fuse was at the tail end. The fire and brimstone that John
saw were the Turks using cannons to bring down the walls of
Constantinople when they laid siege to the city. This was the end
of the second third of the Roman Empire.
(20) And the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these
plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to
worship demons, and the idols of gold and of silver and of brass
and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor
walk; (21) and they did not repent of their murders nor of their
sorceries nor of their immorality nor of their thefts.
After the Turks defeated Constantinople in 1453, this left
only one third of the original Roman or Beast Empire. This is the
61
part of the Empire that is centered in what we now call central
Europe.
Even after watching the judgement of the rest of the
Empire, the people remaining in what was left of the Empire still
did not repent. They continued in their immoralities ignoring the
truth and continued to suppress the use of the Bible.
A quick review where we have been: At this point two thirds
of the Beast Empire has been conquered. The first one third of the
empire was taken at the fifth trumpet by the Arabs and the second
one third was taken at the sixth trumpet by the Turks. Now only
one third of the Empire, the southern part, remains and it is in what
we now call Europe.
There will now be a long period before the third woe is
released because it will be at the last trump when YEHOVAH will
finally put an end to the beast empire. In the meantime, YAH will
use His two witnesses to set the world up for the final events of
Prophecy.
62
Rev 10 - The Little Book (1453-1500AD)
When the Turks conquered the Eastern part of the Empire,
the men of learning smuggled the scrolls of scripture out and took
them to the south. Previously the rulers of the southern kingdom
had destroyed all of the scriptures allowing only the Latin Vulgate
and only the priests were allowed to see it. The people of the land
were kept in complete darkness. When these manuscripts were
smuggled in, all of the sudden, the light of scripture began to shine.
This caused the beginning of the Reformation. As you will see
Revelations 10 and 11 covers the time of the reformation and
brings us up to the present.
Rev 10:1-11 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. (2) He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land, (3) and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring; when he called out, the seven thunders sounded. (4) And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down." (5) And the angel whom I saw standing on sea and land lifted up his right hand to heaven (6) and swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there should be no more delay, (7) but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God, as he announced to his servants the prophets, should be fulfilled. (8) Then the voice which I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, "Go, take the scroll which is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land." (9) So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll; and he said to me, "Take it and eat; it will be bitter to your stomach, but sweet as honey in your mouth." (10) And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it; it was sweet as honey in my
63
mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter. (11) And I was told, "You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and tongues and kings."
This is the angel of the Lord, or the angel of YEHOVAH who
is none other than Yeshua Messiah handing this book to John.
Yeshua told John to eat the book. We know from the historic point
in which this takes place that this is the Bible. It was at this time in
history that the Bible started to become available to the average
person. This was because of the invention of the printing press.
The reason the Bible became bitter in John’s stomach is
because of all the bloodshed resulting from the Beast Empire’s
attempt to keep the Bible from the people. The Church of Rome
knew that if the Bible got out to the people the people would be
enlightened and Rome’s stranglehold on power would end. They
stopped at nothing including torture and murder to prevent the
Bible from getting out, but it did anyway. This was the beginning of
the great reformation.
Rev 11 - The Two Witnesses (1500 – Sep 23, 2017)
Now that the Bible has been made available to the masses
we see the measuring rod and the two witnesses appear on the
scene. These both have to do with the period of the reformation.
During this time, the Bible is made available to the masses, so now
each individual is made responsible for their actions towards GOD.
Rev 11:1-14 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told: "Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there…
64
The word “rod” comes from the original Greek word
“kanon,” which is where we get the word canon. The definition of
canon is: 1. Ecclesiastical rule or law. 2. Measuring rod, rule.
The temple is not a temple built in Jerusalem; it is the
temple of our bodies. Among many other scriptures 2Coronthians
6:16, tells us, “What agreement has the temple of God with idols?
For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will live in
them and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall
be my people.” All through the New Testament, the apostles made
it clear that the Shekinah or Holy Spirit would no longer dwell in a
temple made of stones, but now through Yeshua Messiah the Spirit
would dwell in the temple of our bodies washed clean by the blood
of the Lamb.
YEHOVAH was going to see to it that the canon was made
available to the masses and each individual is going to be measured
by the rod or canon to see if they will be a follower of the canon or
a follower of the traditions of men.
(2) but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months.
The court outside of the Temple has to do with the nations
where the believers live. Until Yeshua returns and sets up His
Kingdom on earth, we, the temples of God, have to live under the
rule of gentile secular governments. Because we are under the rule
of these governments, our outer courts are trampled on. We can
do nothing about what goes on around us; however, what goes on
in our hearts we have control over and the secular governments
cannot trample on our inner courts. They may attempt to force us
to believe the way they do, and they may even kill us, but we have
the opportunity to know the Bible and to know how it tells us to
worship the Creator and they cannot take that away from us. After
Yeshua returns, GOD’s people will no longer live under the rule of
gentiles, but will live under the direct rule of Yeshua who will be
65
our King and our Priest. The gentiles will no longer trample on the
outer courts of our temple and we will be free to worship GOD in
truth and in peace. At that time Yeshua will begin to rule with a
rode of Iron instead of one made out of reed.
(3) And I will grant my two witnesses power to prophesy for
(until) one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in
sackcloth." (4) These are the two olive trees and the two
candlesticks, which stand before the Lord of the earth. (5) And if
any one would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and
consumes their foes; if any one would harm them, thus he is
doomed to be killed. (6) They have power to shut the sky, that
no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they
have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite
the earth with every plague, as often as they desire. (7) And
when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends
from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer
them and kill them, (8) and their dead bodies will lie in the street
of the great city which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt,
where their Lord was crucified. (9) For three days and a half men
from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations gaze at their
dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb, (10) and
those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make
merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had
been a torment to those who dwell on the earth. (11) But after
the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them,
and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who
saw them. (12) Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying
to them, "Come up hither!" And in the sight of their foes they went
up to heaven in a cloud. (13) And at that hour there was a great
earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people
were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave
glory to the God of heaven.
66
This should say, “…until one thousand two hundred and
sixty days.” I know this is presumptuous of me to say this, but what
I have found is that when this tree and one half year period is
referred to it is always pointing to the same event. This three and
one half year period is referred to in many ways. Sometimes it is
call forty-two months; sometime three and one half days;
sometimes it is a times, time and a half a time; or like above, one
thousand two hundred and sixty days. These are all referring to the
same three and a half year period. It will be during this three and
one half year period when Satan’s rule of the earth will end. Satan
will desecrate the temple, the bowls of wrath will be poured out,
Yeshua will crush Satan’s head, YAH’s people will be resurrected
and transformed and the Kingdom of GOD will be established.
Every time the three and a half years is mentioned, it is looking
forward to this event or time frame. So the two witnesses do their
witnessing until the three and a half years comes, and not for three
and a half days as we have been taught.
Now let us talk about these two lamps mentioned the
above scriptures. In the above scripture, the lamp that is
mentioned is a Menorah. The Menorah has seven candlesticks, but
in the above scripture, there are only two candlesticks. Keep this
in mind because we will return to these two out of seven
candlesticks that are still burning.
These two olive trees are the Old and New Testaments. To
understand this we need to bring in Zechariah:
Zec 4:1-14 Then the angel who was speaking with me
returned, and roused me as a man who is awakened from
his sleep. (2) And he said to me, "What do you see?" And I
said, "I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold with its bowl
on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it with seven spouts
belonging to each of the lamps which are on the top of it;
(3) also two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the
bowl and the other on its left side." (4) Then I answered
and said to the angel who was speaking with me saying,
67
"What are these, my lord?" (5) So the angel who was
speaking with me answered and said to me, "Do you not
know what these are?" And I said, "No, my lord." (6) Then
he answered and said to me, "This is the word of the LORD
to Zerubbabel saying, 'Not by might nor by power, but by
My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts….. (11) Then I answered
and said to him, "What are these two olive trees on the right
of the lampstand and on its left?" (12) And I answered the
second time and said to him, "What are the two olive
branches which are beside the two golden pipes, which
empty the golden oil from themselves?" (13) So he
answered me saying, "Do you not know what these are?"
And I said, "No, my lord." (14) Then he said, "These are
the two anointed ones, who are standing by the Lord of
the whole earth."
Zachariah is seeing this vision of a menorah, but only two of
the lights are burning and the two olive trees are dripping oil into
these to two lights keeping them going. This is where we get the
two candlesticks in Rev 11: 4, which said, “These are the two olive
trees and the two candlesticks, which stand before the Lord of the
earth.” There are only two lights burning on the seven light
menorah in the end.
Remember Yeshua set his Church in the Land of Asia and
sent a message to seven of the churches. Only two of these
churches were not rebuked for compromising the faith. The other
churches were compromising and the result was that their lights
eventually went out. These churches became the apostate church
of today. The two churches whose light kept going were Smyrna
and Philadelphia. These represent those who, "overcame him
because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their
testimony, and they did not love their life even to death” (Rev
12:11). The testimony spoken of is the Torah, which was set in the
“Ark of the Testimony.” It is YEHOVAH’s testimony of how He is
68
going to save a people. This is not our self-centered testimony of
how we had an emotional experience and a coming to Jesus. This
is the testimony of how we did our best to keep YAH’s Law, and
how the statute pertaining to the sacrificial lamb washed away our
sins and saved our lives. The statute providing for the sacrifice is
part of the Law, and if you have no regard for the Law then this
statute is not available to you. The other churches did not continue
to have regard for the Law by buying into the doctrine of demons
that says that the Law was nailed to the cross and you no longer
need to keep the Law so their lamps went out. There is now a dead
and dark church full of Lawless people on every street corner of
every city because they consider YAH’s Law to be of no value.
The olive tree represents the spirit of GOD, and we the
branches are graphed into this tree. In this passage the olive tree
represent the spirit of GOD coming through the Old and New
testaments of the Bible. These two olive trees are feeding oil to the
Menorah to maintain their lights. Zac 4: 6 gives us a picture of this
where it says, “…Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit…” This
telling us that YEHOVAH is not going to conquer us and cause us to
worship Him by force; instead, it is through His spirit, which we will
receive through the reading and study of the Bible. When we
accept the dictates of the Bible, which is YAH’s spirit then we are
saved. So the two olive trees are the Old and the New Testament
feeding our lamps to give us light.
Since the days of the printing press, GOD has been making
sure that these two witnesses are available to whomever may
want them. We no longer have to depend on the priests to give us
the word; we can read it for ourselves.
The Old and New Testament’s are clothed is sackcloth
because of all those whose blood will be shed for believing the
witness of the Bible and wish to live their lives according to that
witness.
69
Chapter eleven puts us in the time frame of the French
revolution. France initially tolerated the Protestants; however,
Protestantism was later thoroughly stamped out. By 1559, there
were 400,000 Huguenots (French Protestants) in France. In three
savage "Huguenot Wars" (1562-1570), the Catholics tried
unsuccessfully to exterminate the Protestants. From 1560 onward,
the Jesuits were at the forefront this work (as they were doing
elsewhere in Europe).
Catherine de 'Medici of France was told by her Jesuit
confessor that her sins would be forgiven if she killed all the
Protestants. On St. Bartholomew's Day, August 24, 1572, the
horrible work began, and continued for two months resulting in the
death of 70,000 Protestants. The only sin of the Protestants was
that they read and believed the Bible. Pope Gregory XIII was utterly
delighted and the killing of Protestants continued to 1580.
With the extermination of the Protestants, the nation's best
workers were gone so the nation became more and more corrupt.
The nation was in crises and the people were hurting. In 1789, Louis
XVI called the Estates-General to keep the country from
bankruptcy, but it was too late and the French Revolution resulted.
In July 1789, riots began throughout the nation. The Reign
of Terror continued until 1794, with over 300,000 citizens slain.
War between France and other nations was almost continuous
from 1793 to 1915.
The "Festival of Reason" occurred in November 1793.
Voltaire said he had destroyed Christianity, but his house was later
used to store French Bibles.
The suppression of the Scriptures under the dominion of
Rome, the terrible results of that suppression, and the final
exaltation of the word of God, are vividly portrayed by the
prophetic word. The Apostle John was given a view of these years
during which the papal power was permitted to trample upon
God's word and oppress His people. Said the angel of the Lord, "The
holy city (The true Church) shall they tread under foot (until) forty
70
and two months. And I will give power unto my two witnesses,
and they shall prophesy (until) a thousand two hundred and
threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." (Revelation 11:2-3). Here
again, the Beast is allowed to operate until the forty two month
period when YEHOVAH will take its power away and establish His
Kingdom on the earth. The beast will attempt to keep God's faithful
witnesses in a state of obscurity until then. The beast will continue
with false doctrine, vain philosophies and murder where it can get
away with it.
The two witnesses represent the Old and New Testament
of Scripture. Both are important testimonies to the origin and
perpetuity of the Law of God. Both are witnesses also to the plan
of salvation. The types, sacrifices, and prophecies of the Old
Testament point forward to a Savior to come. The Gospels and
Epistles of the New Testament tell of a Savior who has come in the
exact manner foretold by type and prophecy. "These are the two
olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of
the earth." (Revelation 11:4) Psalms 119:105 tells us “Thy word is
a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."
The papal power sought to hide from the people the word
of truth, and set before them false witnesses to contradict its
testimony. When the Bible was prohibited by religious and secular
authority; when its testimony was perverted, and every effort
made was made by men and demons to turn the minds of the
people from it; when those who dared proclaim its sacred truths
were hunted, betrayed, tortured, buried in dungeon cells,
martyred for their faith, or compelled to flee to mountain retreat’s
and to dens and caves of the earth, then indeed did the faithful
witnesses prophesy in sackcloth.
But men cannot with impunity trample upon the word of
God. The Lord had declared concerning His two witnesses, "If any
man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devour
their enemies; and if any man will hurt them, he must in this
manner be killed." (Revelation 11:5) The meaning of this fearful
denunciation is set forth in the closing chapter of the book of
71
Revelation: "I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the
prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God
shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if
any man shall take away from the words of the book of this
prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and
out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this
book." (Revelation 22:18, 19)
This is the warnings God has given to guard men against
changing in any manner that which He has revealed or
commanded. These solemn denunciations apply to all who by their
influence lead men to lightly regard the Law of God. They should
cause those to fear and tremble who flippantly declare it a matter
of little consequence whether we obey God's Law or not. All who
exalt their own opinions above the written word, all who would
change the plain meaning of Scripture to suit their own
convenience or for the sake of conformity to the world, are taking
upon themselves a fearful responsibility. The written word, the Law
of God, will measure the character of every man, and condemn all
whom this unerring test shall declare wanting.
In no land had the spirit of enmity against Messiah and the
truth been more strikingly displayed than in godless France.
Nowhere had the gospel encountered more bitter and cruel
opposition. In the streets of Paris, Messiah had indeed been
crucified in the person of His saints. The world still recalls with
shuddering horror the scenes of that most cowardly and cruel
onslaught, the massacres of St. Bartholomew. The king of France
urged on by Roman priests and prelates lent his sanction to the
dreadful work. The palace bell, tolling at midnight, gave the signal
for the slaughter to begin. Protestants by thousands, sleeping
quietly in their homes, trusting to the plighted honor of their king,
were dragged forth without a warning and murdered in cold blood.
Satan, in the person of the Roman zealots, led the
onslaught. As Messiah was the invisible leader of His people from
Egyptian bondage, so was Satan the unseen leader of his subjects
in this horrible work of multiplying martyrs. For three days, the
72
butchery went on; more than thirty thousand perished. The result
caused great joy to the hosts of darkness. The Roman pontiff,
sharing in the diabolical rejoicing, proclaimed a jubilee to be
observed throughout his dominions, to celebrate the event.
The same master-spirit that urged on the massacre of St.
Bartholomew, led also in the scenes of the French Revolution.
Satan seemed to triumph. Notwithstanding the labors of the
Reformers, he had succeeded in holding vast multitudes in
ignorance concerning God and His word. Now he appeared in a new
guise. In France arose an atheistic power that openly declared war
against the authority of Heaven. Men threw off all restraint. The
Law of God was trampled underfoot. Those who could engage in
the most Heaven-daring blasphemy and the most abominable
wickedness were most highly exalted. Fornication was sanctioned
by law. Profanity and corruption seemed to overwhelm the earth.
In all this, supreme homage was paid to Satan, while Messiah in His
characteristics of truth, purity, and unselfish love was crucified. The
Bible was publicly burned. The Sabbath was blotted out. Romanism
had enjoined image worship; now divine honors were paid to the
vilest objects. The work that the papacy had begun, atheism
completed. The one withheld from the people the truths of the
Bible; the other taught them to reject both the Bible and its Author.
The seed sown by priests and prelates was yielding its evil fruit.
Terrible indeed was the condition of infidel France. The
word of truth lay dead in her streets, and those who hated the
restrictions and requirements of God's Law were jubilant. But
transgression and rebellion were followed by the sure result.
Unhappy France reaped in blood the harvest she had sown. The
war against the Bible and the Law of God banished peace and
happiness from the hearts and homes of men. No one was secure:
he who triumphed today was suspected, condemned, tomorrow.
Violence and terror reigned supreme. The land was filled with
crimes too horrible to write.
God's faithful witnesses were not long to remain silent.
"The Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon
73
their feet, and great fear fell upon them which saw them."
Revelation 11:11. The world stood aghast at the enormity of guilt
that had resulted from a rejection of the Sacred Oracles, and men
were glad to return once more to faith in God and His word.
Concerning the two witnesses the prophet declares further,
"And they heard a great voice from Heaven saying unto them,
Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud, and
their enemies beheld them." Revelation 11:12. Since the French
Revolution, the word of God has been honored as never before.
The Bible has been translated into nearly every language spoken by
men, and scattered over every part of the globe. After being, as it
were, thrust down to hell, it has in truth, been exalted to heaven.
The witnesses will testify of the Glory of GOD until that wonderful
day when He returns to testify in person.
This was not the end of the beast Empire however; through
the course of the reformation, the beast has been growing and
expanding its reach. Through Spain and France, expanding into the
far reaches of the world, Romanism has spread throughout the
earth. Because of their callus cruelty and because of the way they
destroyed their credibility they could no longer work in the light so
the Jesuits went underground and now do everything in darkness.
Their tentacles have infiltrated every nation and every tongue, now
from darkness they have taken control of the earth pushing for
their one world order.
To aid in this diabolical scheme, the reformers of the
Protestant Movements never really reformed. They kept many of
the same falsehoods of the mother church and did not return to
the purity of the Bible. They still keep the same false sabbaths and
much of the idolatry and superstitions. They have “a form of
godliness, but they deny YEHOVAH the power there of” by claiming
that His Law was done away with. This makes them Lawless and
shows that they follow the lawless one and not the true GOD, just
as the Mother Church does.
This brings us up the present time. Now in 2017 the New
World Order, orchestrated through the Jesuit, with its satanic
74
banking cabal is very close to having a complete stranglehold on
the earth once again. The Beast has quietly grown becoming
worldwide empire now ruling from the United Nations. Great
Britain, the United States and Russia are the leaders of this Empire
each having veto power. Every nation on earth is part of the U.N.
and to some degree gives their power over to it. By underground
underhanded means, the beast has taken over our institutions and
they are propagandizing our people. They have loyal actors deep
within every state who are willing to push their agenda, even on
those nations that do not want their sick and twisted Luciferian
policies.

Rev 11: 15-19 The Seventh Trumpet
Messiah’s Reign Foreseen (Sep 21, 2017)
For the past five hundred years, the two witnesses have
been giving their testimony and the powers of Satan’s Kingdom
have done everything they can to make them dead and obscured.
Satan’s Kingdom has once again grown to become a worldwide
empire and Satan has centered his power through the United
Nations. The Almighty has allowed this to happen because He is
preparing the world for the “last trump,” the seventh trumpet.
As you have probable noticed I believe that the events of
the book of Revelations happen in sequential order. The next thing
to happen in this sequence is for the Seventh Trumpet to sound.
The trumpet will sound starting a ten-year time frame for
the final judgments to be poured out. As part of this last trumpet,
we will see YEHOVAH bring the two empires, the true Israel and the
beast into full view; we will see the worlds systems be weighed in
the balance, the bowls of wrath, the greater exodus, the coming of
the messiah, the final destruction of the beast empire, the wedding
supper of the lamb, and the establishment of GOD’s Kingdom on
earth.
Rev 11:15-19 And the seventh angel sounded; and there arose
loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has
become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He will
reign forever and ever." (16) And the twenty-four elders, who sit
on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped
God, (17) saying, "We give Thee thanks, O Lord God, the
Almighty, who art and who wast, because Thou hast taken Thy
great power and hast begun to reign. (18) "And the nations were
enraged, and Thy wrath came, and the time came for the dead to
be judged, and the time to give their reward to Thy bond-servants
the prophets and to the saints and to those who fear Thy name,
76
the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the
earth." (19) And the temple of God which is in heaven was
opened; and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple, and
there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder
and an earthquake and a great hailstorm.
This last and final trumpet was blown on the day of
Trumpets, Sep 21, 2017. We can identify this timing because of the
sign that will appear in heaven in the next chapter of Revelations.
Because of this sign coming we know that this is the time of the last
trump.
The reason we know that 21 Sep 2017 was the Day of
Trumpets is because of the new moon identifying the first day of
the seventh month on the Hebrew Calendar. The new moon was
sighted on this day in Israel making this the Day of Trumpets.
You may say that nothing happened on that day, and that is
because this scene took place in heaven. YAH had assigned this to
be the beginning of the final few chapters in Bible prophecy. The
twenty-four elders are part of the group of Saints who were
resurrected along with Yeshua. When Yeshua ascended to heaven,
He took this group with Him as a first fruit offering to the Father.
The Ark of the Covenant was being opened because
YEHOVAH has remembered His covenant with his people and it is
time to pour out the final blessings and curses that are written in
the covenant.
The last time we saw hail and an earthquake it had to do
with civil war in the beast empire. Based on the examples of
previous scripture, the earthquake and the hailstorm will probably
have to do with war occurring among the nations of the Beast
Empire. Tensions are high between Russia, China and the U.S. so
maybe that could be it. Also, we have North Korea and Iran trying
to make nukes and provoking the world. In my opinion, the war is
between the left and the right wing in world politics. This has not
77
been a shooting war, but since President Trump came on the scene,
we have seen this war come into full view. The populists are trying
to prevent the cultic deep state from taking over and ramming their
sick and twisted policies down their throats. The conservatives and
the liberals have been in a battle for control of the earth for many
years, but now it has reached a tipping point. We must remember
that the Beast Empire is now a global Empire under the U.N. and it
is their aim to create a one world Luciferian dictatorship. The
Luciferian cabal is desperate to take final control of the earth
because they know the time is near for their god to arrive.
78
The Signs in the Heavens
Before getting into the signs, there are a few things to know
about the constellations. It seems that the gospel is not only
written in the Bible, but also in the stars. This gospel in the stars is
called the Mazzaroth or Zodiac. This is not to be confused with
astrology, which is a counterfeit. In astrology, diviners attempt to
read the stars to create a horoscope. The Mazzaroth, on the other
hand, is a story that has been written into the stars. This story was
most likely told to Adam by YEHOVAH when they would take their
walks in the garden. Adam then passed it passed down to his
children, and to this day, the signs of the Mazzaroth and the names
of the stars displaying this story in the heavens are still well known.
This story is about the coming savior who will save humanity from
the evil dragon.
Through the ages, pagans have corrupted the gospel story
written in the stars. If we are careful to remove the mythologies
and go back to the original names of the stars then the gospel
message becomes clear.
Isaiah spoke of the Mazzaroth saying, “Lift up your eyes on
high and see: who created these? (the constellations) He who
brings out their host by number, (There are exactly 12 major
constellations in every culture) calling them all by name;
(proclaiming the gospel Psalms 19) by the greatness of his might,
and because he is strong in power not one is missing.” (Isa 40:26)
In Luke 21:25-28 Yeshua told us, “And there shall be signs in the
sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress
of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves
roaring; (26) Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking
after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of
heaven shall be shaken. (27) And then shall they see the Son of
man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. (28) And when
these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your
heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” He did not tell us what
79
to look for, but those of us who are closely watching have realized
that there is a marvelous sign that took place on September 23,
2017 that started the fulfillment of this prophecy.
When you look up the original names for the planet and
stars in the signs of the Mazzaroth, you will see that they tell the
story of salvation. For instance, the planet Jupiter who’s Hebrew
name is "Tzedek" means, “Righteousness.” Tzedek is known as the
King star and it represents Yeshua the King of Kings. Notice, in the
picture bellow, how it appears to be striped and pierced!
According to Yair Davidiy, the name Saturn is probably
derived from the Hebrew word “Sater,” which means, “hidden.”
The Israelites and the surrounding nations considered Saturn to be
the star of Israel. Because they worshipped on the seventh day of
the week this day became known as Saturn’s day, or as we now call
it Saturday. It is telling that the lost tribes of Israel are now
scattered and hidden among all of the nations of the world.
An interesting thing happens when combining the story told
by the Mazzaroth with the story of Revelations; the book of
Revelations is primarily the story of what happens to the beast
empire while the Mazzaroth is primarily concerned with what is
taking place with the body of Messiah. When we combine these
stories, we see the contrast between those two groups. The
Mazzaroth gives a picture of a loving GOD avenging His people and
bringing them into His bosom, while the book of Revelations is the
story of an angry GOD taking vengeance upon a corrupt people and
government who refuse to repent of their evil ways.

Rev 12: 1-2 – The Woman Appears (Virgo: Dec, 2016 –
Nov, 2017)
(Prophetic Overview)
82
Unlike the rest of the book of revelations that gives specific
events that we can put a time stamp on, these next two chapters
gives us a prophetic overview of both past and future events. We
can set a time stamp on the signs in heaven, but the rest of what
the next two chapters has to say is to give the reader an overview
and to set the stage for the final events that follow.
Rev 12:1-2 And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; (2) and she was with child; and she cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth.
A few days after the last trumpet was blown this sign
appeared in the heavens on September 23, 2017. You can
download a free program called Stellarium, which allows you to
track the movement of the stars from anywhere on the planet and
see this sign for yourself. Notice the sun clothing Virgo, the moon
at her feet, twelve stars above her head, and Tzedek/Jupiter ready
to break forth out of her womb.
Many who were watching for the coming of this sign were
predicting it would be the beginning of the tribulation. No
cataclysmic activity took place when this sign appeared so many
have lost heart, saying, “This is not the sign spoken of by Yeshua.”
You must realize Yeshua did not say that our redemption is here,
He said it is close. This sign along with the rest of the Mazzaroth
gives us a roadmap for the end time events that will take place after
the sign appears.
Notice in the picture above that the planet Tzedek is in the
womb of the virgin. Tzedek entered the womb of the virgin about
nine months prior to this date. Because of what is known as
retrograde motion it remained there for the gestation period of a
human birth. You can also see that on this date there are twelve
stars over the head of the virgin. This is because the planets Mars,
83
Mercury and Venice have lined up in the constellation Leo that sets
just above the head of Virgo. You can also see that the moon is
under the feet of Virgo.
So what do these signs represent? First, I need to identify
the players to you. This is going to be a brief study, but if you look
up all of the stars in each of the constellations, you will see that
there is a very in-depth story told by our Creator.
Sun – Clothing the body; the Holy Spirit.
Mercury – A diadem of the crown; the Law, giving us the
standard and the statute of the sacrifice for forgiveness of
sin and a way back to YAH.
Venus – The bright and morning star; another diadem of
the crown; the Prophets, all pointing to the Messiah.
Tzedek/Jupiter – Born of the virgin; justified by the Law
through a sinless life; striped and pierced; our Redeemer.
Saturn – The Church/Assembly washed clean and crowned
in the glory of our Messiah.
Mars – Warring King; second coming. “Yehovah is a warrior;
Yehovah is His name.” (Exodus 15:3)
Moon – Ruler of the night; darkness; Satan; false religion;
false god.
This sign is telling us that we need to look up because our
redemption is near. By pointing out this sign in heaven, YAH is
telling us to look at the stars because the final message to His
children is written in the stars. This sign is the beginning of a ten-
year countdown to the coming of the Kingdom. In Luke 21:25-28
Yeshua told us what to look for so that we will know the time of His
coming, "And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and
upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roaring of the
sea and the waves, men fainting with fear and with foreboding of
what is coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be
shaken. And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud
84
with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take
place, look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is
drawing near." Yeshua told us that there would be signs in the sun
moon and stars. The sign He is referring to was here on Sep 23,
2017.
We also have distress of the nations. As I described in the
last chapter there is a perplexity of the sea as the Beast of the Sea
battels to bring forth its Luciferian doctrine and snuff out the Bible.
If you look at the news, and at what is being put on YouTube, it is
apparent that the people of the earth are in a panic because they
can sense what is coming. There is an urgency in the battle between
good and evil because the world senses that the end is near.
This sign along with the other constellations gives us a road
map of the things that are to follow. By incorporating the gospel
written in the heavens with the book of Revelations, we are able to
develop a time line for upcoming end-time events. The Mazzaroth
is a story written in the heavens and it can be correlated to
Chapters 12 through 22 in the book of Revelations. By tying these
two stories together, it gives us a more complete picture of end-
time events, and it gives us a time line for the events.
Jupiter is known as the King Star. The pagans have changed
the names of the planets, naming them after their heathen gods.
Each civilization has named Jupiter after their primary deity. The
pagans do not get the last word on this subject however. The
pagans did not create the heavens and the earth and they do not
determine the names of the stars. Only YEHOVAH does this,
therefore we will call it by its Hebrew name. In Hebrew, the name
of Jupiter is “Tzedek.”
The meaning of Tzedek is, “righteousness or justice.” This is
one of the root words of the name Melchizedek, who is the King of
Righteousness. Melchizedek is also known as a preacher of
righteousness. That is what this star is, a preacher of righteousness.
It represents the righteousness of Yeshua and His Church. As
Tzedek moves through the constellations, it is telling us the plan of
salvation.
85
The constellation Virgo represents the true Church or Israel,
who are one in the same. Two thousand years ago, Israel birthed
the King of Righteousness. Now Israel will birth the righteous body
of that King. As Tzedek makes its trek through the constellations
telling the story of the righteous King and His bride, the events will
be played out on earth.
The crown over the head of Virgo is the constellation Leo,
which represents the fulfilment of the Kingdom. The messages of
this sign is that the true Church, “Israel,” will be crowned with the
Kingdom and bring forth righteousness, just as Saturn the star that
represents Israel is crowned.
The key to understanding the events as written in the
heavens is to follow Jupiter the Tzedek as it takes its trek through
the constellations. It takes a little over eleven years for Tzedek to
go through the constellations. This trek started on about Jul 26,
2016 when Tzedek was about to enter the constellation Virgo.
From there Tzedek entered the womb of Virgo where it stayed for
nine months. It could do this because of what is called retrograde
motion. On Sep23, 2017 we saw the great sign in heaven that is
spoken of in Rev 12.
After this, Tzedek began to go forth out of the womb of the
virgin representing the birth of righteousness upon the earth. This
righteousness will be manifest through Yeshua and his Ecclesia as
they bring forth their Kingdom.
Once Tzedek exits the womb of Virgo, it will continue its trip
through the constellations, which will take about ten years. By
following Tzedek as it passes through each of the constellations, we
can correlate the story of the constellation with the scriptures of
Revelations. The time that the Tzedek is in the constellation will be
approximately when the event occurs on earth.
86
Rev 12:3-6 The Red Dragon (Serpens Dec 25, 2017)
Rev 12:3-4 And another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a
great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and on his
heads were seven diadems.
While Tzedek was in the womb of the virgin Saturn was in
the constellation Serpens. Notice two things in the drawing of the
constellation above, the man Ophiuchus is wrestling with the
serpent and the serpent is losing its crown. The crown is
represented by the constellation Coronus Borealis. Ophiuchus is a
picture of Yeshua who is wrestling Satan the serpent for control of
the earth. As they wrestle, the serpent is losing its grip on its crown
and on the earth that it now controls.
87
I did not get the picture of Saturn into this, but Saturn is
down on the right leg of Ophiuchus. Saturn has also been here for
about nine months, where it has been caught up in this battle to be
freed from the spiritual grip the serpent. It is in a battle to be freed
from the false religion and all of the trappings of Satan’s kingdom.
As Tzedek starts to come out of the womb of the Virgo,
Saturn starts to move away from the constellation Serpens as if it
has been released from the trappings of the serpent, freed by
Yeshua our Messiah.
Rev 12:4-6 And his tail swept away a third of the stars of
heaven, and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood
before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she
gave birth he might devour her child. (5) And she gave birth to a
son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron;
and her child was caught up to God and to His throne. (6) And
the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place
prepared by God, so that there she might be nourished for one
thousand two hundred and sixty days.
This describes the fallen nature of Satan who deceives and
causes many to fall. He was the High Priest or Covering Angel of
GOD’s Kingdom, but he rebelled taking with him those who chose
to follow in his rebellion. Now rather than having a heavenly
nature, those who follow him have become earthy in nature, or
evil.
When Yeshua was born, Satan was ready and waiting to
destroy Him. He tried to kill him as a baby when Herod sent his
henchmen to kill all the babies in Bethlehem. Satan was finally able
to kill Yeshua by having the Temple leaders drum up false
allegations against Him having Him crucified. This scene will soon
be played out again when Satan attempts to kill the Church that
begins its march to bring forth righteousness after 23 Sep 2017.
88
Rev 12: 5-17 The Rod of Iron (Libra: Jan 2018 - Nov 2018)
(Prophetic Overview)
After Tzedek leaves the constellation of Virgo, it enters into
the constellation Libra. Libra is a picture of a balance. The balance
reminds us of Daniel 5:27-28, "'TEKEL'--you have been weighed on
the scales and found deficient." 'PERES'--your kingdom has been
divided and given over to the Medes and Persians."
In our case, the people, governments, and institutions of
today are being weighed in the balance during this period while
Tzedek travels through this constellation. The institutions of the
beast empire of our day will be weighed and found deficient. The
beast will soon be crushed and handed over to the true believers
when Yeshua comes to take it by force. Remember the foot of the
virgin is on the moon, which represents Satan who will soon be
crushed. This was prophesied six thousand years ago in the Garden
of Eden when YAH told the serpent, “And I will put enmity between
you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall
89
bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel." (Gen
3:15) The word bruised means to “crush.”
The balance also reminds us of the redemption of Yeshua
Messiah. The word redemption comes from the concept of to buy
or purchase. Yeshua purchased us back from the hands of the
enemy. This redemption is the cause of a great war that ensues for
the minds of the people.
The balance also reminds us of the rod that was used to
measure the Temple. Remember we are the Temple and we are
measured or weighed in the balance by the words written in the
cannon, which is the measuring rod of GOD.
Rev 12:5-6 And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to
rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up
to God and to His throne.
The woman, whose genesis was the covenant of obedience
or circumcision given through Abraham, gave birth to Yeshua.
Yeshua was the only one who was ever successful at keeping that
covenant of obedience given to Abraham. (See my book Knowing
YEHOVAH) This resulted in the grave not being able to hold on to
Him. Through his obedience, Yeshua was anointed to be King and
Priest over all the earth. Now, because Yeshua is a quickening spirit
who can quicken the rest of us who were not able to be obedient,
we are born again through His righteousness.
This sign that appears did not appear when Yeshua was
born, it appeared on Sep 23, 2017. Since this does not represent
the birth of Yeshua then who is the man-child that is being born.
We see the answer to this in Exo 4:22, "Then you shall say to
Pharaoh, 'Thus says YEHOVAH, "Israel is My son, My first-born.”
Israel is the first born of YAH; however, because of sin Israel never
became one with YAH. Now through the blood of the Lamb, Yeshua
Messiah, Israel is finally ready to become one with YEHOVAH. Israel
90
is ready to be born again just as Yeshua was when He was baptized
by John. When Yeshua was born again, the Shekinah or Holy Spirit
came to dwell within Him. This is when Yeshua became the son of
GOD, the first born among many. Israel is now ready for this to
happen on a large scale as the “manifestation of the sons of GOD”
comes to fruition.
Here we see a rod again. The first rod we saw was the rod
made of a reed. We discovered that the word rod came from the
root word “cannon.” That rod was made of reed because it needed
to bend and be flexible to allow for the fact that GOD’s people were
not yet in the eternal Kingdom. Because the Kingdom had not yet
arrived GOD’s people could not perfectly keep the Law so the rod
needed to be flexible. When the Kingdom is established, the rod
will now be made of iron because it will have the force of the divine
Kingdom behind it. The rod will no longer bend or be flexible.
Yeshua will enforce YEHOVAH’s divine Law and He will have the
power of the Eternal Kingdom to enforce it. With the rod of iron
(Cannon), He will maintain Divine Law.
(6) And the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place
prepared by God, so that there she might be nourished for (until)
one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
This is reflecting back to an earlier time. After His death
burial and resurrection, Yeshua ascended to heaven where He still
waits to come back and take His Kingdom. After Yeshua was
ascended, the woman or Israel had to flee Judea and go out into
the wilderness. In Biblical terms, everything outside the Promised
Land is considered wilderness. YAH sent His people to the nations
of the world (the wilderness) where they have been able to live
until the 1260 days arrive when He will bring them back to the
Promised Land. GOD’s people were slowly driven out of the
91
Promised Land and finally in 70AD they were completely pushed
out of the Land.
I believe this scripture should have been interpreted to say,
the woman was sent into the wilderness to be nourished until the
one thousand two hundred and sixty days. One thousand two
hundred and sixty days is the same forty-two month period when
the mystery of GOD is revealed. The woman has obviously been
waiting for the return of her Messiah since He left. Another reason
I think it is until the one thousand two hundred and sixty days is
that in few scriptures down from this the woman goes into the
wilderness again, but as you will see, at that time she will be going
to the wilderness of Sinai for the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.
Rev 12:7-12 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels
waging war with the dragon. And the dragon and his angels
waged war, (8) and they were not strong enough, and there was
no longer a place found for them in heaven. (9) And the great
dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the
devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown
down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
(10) And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the
salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the
authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren
has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day
and night. (11) "And they overcame him because of the blood of
the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they
did not love their life even to death. (12) "For this reason, rejoice,
O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the
sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath,
knowing that he has only a short time."
This scripture is depicted by the decan constellation of
Draco and Hercules. Hercules (Yeshua) defeats Draco (Satan) and
92
casts him out of heaven. The Europeans used to celebrate this with
a fall festival called “Michaelmas.”
This war in heaven takes place because of the son, Yeshua
Messiah, who goes to heaven to take His place at the right hand of
GOD. Satan is no longer the covering angel who judges man. He can
no longer make accusations against those who choose to return to
the covenants of Torah because Yeshua paid for our sins.
Sometime after Yeshua’s ascension when He arrived in
heaven, He was officially crowned as King and Priest over Israel and
of the earth. In Zachariah, we are given the details of this event:
Zec 3:1-10 Then he showed me Yeshua the high
priest standing before the angel of YEHOVAH, and Satan
standing at his right hand to accuse him. (2) And YEHOVAH
said to Satan, "YEHOVAH rebuke you, Satan! Indeed,
YEHOVAH who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not
a brand plucked from the fire?" (3) Now Yeshua was
clothed with filthy garments and standing before the angel.
(4) And he spoke and said to those who were standing
before him saying, "Remove the filthy garments from him."
Again he said to him, "See, I have taken your iniquity away
from you and will clothe you with festal robes." (5) Then I
said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head." So they put
a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments,
while the angel of YEHOVAH was standing by. (6) And the
angel of YEHOVAH admonished Yeshua saying, (7) "Thus
says YEHOVAH of hosts, 'If you will walk in My ways, and if
you will perform My service, then you will also govern My
house and also have charge of My courts, and I will grant
you free access among these who are standing here. (8)
'Now listen, Yeshua the high priest, you and your friends
who are sitting in front of you--indeed they are men who are
a symbol, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the
Branch. (9) 'For behold, the stone that I have set before
93
Yeshua; on one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave
an inscription on it,' declares YEHOVAH of hosts, 'and I will
remove the iniquity of that land in one day. (10) 'In that
day,' declares YEHOVAH of hosts, 'every one of you will
invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig
tree.'"
If you are familiar with this verse, you will have noticed that
I changed the name from Joshua to Yeshua. Joshua is the Anglicized
form of Yeshua. If you look up the name in the concordance, you
will see that the name is Yeshua.
What is taking place here is that Satan is rebuked or fired
from his position as the covering angel. In the Bible, clothing
represents the character of the person. Filthy clothing represents a
sinful nature. We know that Yeshua was without sin so how is it
that Yeshua has on filthy rags for clothing. The answer is that
Yeshua took the sins of the world upon Himself so that whoever
will believe will have their sins removed to be saved. Those filthy
rags containing the sins of the world are removed and Yeshua is
given the garment of the High Priest of Israel and He is given charge
of the Kingdom of GOD. After this, Satan was cast out of heaven.
All secret societies are waiting anxiously for his release.
Check out the picture below of Lucifer ascending out of the
underworld bringing with him his demonic hoards. This idol depicts
the anti-Christ ascending out of the underworld when he is
revealed to the earth. This anti-Christ has been at work all along,
but the earth is blinded to who he is. The Bible seems to indicate
that he will soon come in the flesh. The world will be given what
they desire as they receive their lawless king and the anti-Christ is
revealed.
94
Through Satan, all people would be condemned, but
through Yeshua, those who will repent are saved through “the
blood of the Lamb and the word of the testimony” or covenant of
GOD. Remember, a testament and a covenant is the same thing.
They are referring to GOD’s Law, which has the purpose of
perfecting a people. Yeshua is the Word or Promise of GOD;
therefore, it is by YEHOVAH’s promise or word as set forth in Torah,
and by the blood of the Lamb that we are saved. It is not our self-
centered testimony of our experience of salvation that saves us.
The word of the testimony is referring to Torah and Yeshua who is
the sacrificial Lamb required by Torah/Law, the testament or
covenant of GOD. The balance is no longer in the hands of Satan
who would condemn all. Yeshua now holds the balance and those
who will repent and turn back to the Law are redeemed.
There is no longer a place in heaven for Satan now that
Yeshua is there. A war in heaven ensued and Satan was thrown
down to the earth. He will soon be revealed to the world. This will
most likely take place in Rev 13. Satan the Azazel goat was cast out
into the wilderness (earth) while Yeshua the one who went to the
alter to be sacrificed, stayed by the right hand of YEHOVAH. Satan
the lawless one will be here in the flesh and he will be crowned by
95
his followers and given control of the earth. He will rule the earth
from the United Nations and all the nations on the earth will give
their power over to him.
Rev 12:13-14 And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down
to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male
child. (14) And the two wings of the great eagle were given to
the woman, in order that she might fly into the wilderness to her
place, where she was nourished for (until) a time and times and
half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
Satan will soon show up on the earth. I think that he will
show up on Christmas day, since that day commemorates him. All
of the dark forces on earth, starting with the Black Pope, going
through Jesuits, then the Illuminati, and down to the Free Masons,
are in anticipation of their god, Satan, coming to the earth. This is
why they are trying to create a one-world government so that
when Satan arrives they can set him on a throne and give him ruler
ship the earth. This is their plan and they have worked a long time
to bring it about. Soon the world will get what they want.
It will take a few years for Satan’s control to be fully
established. Within a few years, Satan, who will have full control of
the United Nations will have his minions persecuting those who
keep the commandments of YAH. When the three and one half year
period arrives, YEHOVAH will gather His people together in the
wilderness. A similar thing happened when YEHOVAH delivered
Israel out of Egypt. We see this in Exodus 19:3-6, “And Moses went
up to God, and YEHOVAH called to him from the mountain, saying,
"Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob and tell the sons of Israel:
'You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I
bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to Myself. 'Now then,
if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you
shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth
96
is Mine; and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy
nation..." When YEHOVAH brought judgment on the Egyptians, the
Pharaoh was a type and shadow of Satan. Satan will be the leader
of the U.N., the Beast Empire, and YEHOVAH will bring judgment to
all the nations of the earth.
When the three and one half years arrives, YEHOVAH is
once again going to take his people on eagles’ wings and bring them
to Himself. This will begin the greater exodus as YAH’s people begin
to make their way to Mt. Sinai for the wedding supper of the Lamb.
Rev 12:15-17 And the serpent poured water like a river out of his
mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept
away with the flood. (16) And the earth helped the woman, and
the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river, which the
dragon poured out of his mouth. (17) And the dragon was
enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest
of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and hold to
the testimony of Jesus.
As GOD’s people make their way to Mt Sinai, Satan will send
out a river of water to sweep them away. The river of water that
Satan sends out is a false gospel, which will foment hatred against
the woman or true Church. Because of this river of lies and hatred,
a great army will come after the woman to destroy her. The earth
will open up, swallow the army, and rescue the woman. There are
several Biblical examples of this, one being the army of Pharaoh
who were swallowed by the Red Sea and the other during a
rebellion against Moses when Korah and his followers were
swallowed up by the earth.
Yeshua’s people will be migrating to Mt. Sanai from all parts
of the world. When Yeshua protects one stream of people making
their way to Sanai, Satan will turn his attention to another stream
of people. Each time they will be protected by Yeshua.
97
Back when YEHOVAH delivered Israel from the Egyptians,
He took them into the wilderness where the wedding supper of
Moses took place. The reasons for the wilderness is because He had
to cleanse them, sanctify them, and establish them as a nation
under His rule before they could enter the Promised Land. After
this, when they were ready, He sent Israel in to cleans and sanctify
the Land. The same thing will soon be repeated, only this time it
will be the wedding supper of Yeshua instead of the wedding
supper of Moses.

Rev 13 - The Beast (Scorpio: Nov, 2018 - Nov, 2019)
(The Anti-Christ Revealed)
(Prophetic Overview)
Tzedek has finished its trek through Libra where the earth’s
governments and institutions have been weighed in the balance.
Now Tzedek will travel through the constellation Scorpio.
In Rev 12, YAH revealed the protagonist of the end-time
battle as being Israel, the Bride of Messiah, born of the Virgin. Now
in Rev 13 He is revealing the antagonist, Scorpio the beast empire,
the bride of Satan.
I am going to go deep into the subject of Beast Empire and
pull in a lot of other prophecies in order to give you a better
understanding of the big picture concerning Bible prophecy.
The Two Beasts (The Empire of the Church and the State) Throughout history YEHOVAH has dealt with two empires,
His Empire called Israel, and the Beast Empire or Satan’s Empire.
The story that is portrayed by Bible prophecy is the story of these
two empires. In the book of Daniel, Daniel has a vision of a statue
where he saw four world empires. The final empire is the two legs
of iron with feet of iron and clay. This forth empire started about
99
30BC, and it will control the earth until the three and one half years
arrives. This empire started with the rise of the Roman Empire and
it is still in existence today. Please study the following picture and
notice that the legs represent the two beasts, the beast of the earth
and the beast of the sea. Just as the arms represented the Medio
and Persian empires, the two legs represents two parts of the final
empire. These two parts are the Church and the State.
To start with, you need to understand how the beasts relate
to the statue of Daniel. As you recall Daniel saw a vision of a statue.
This statue had a head of gold, representing the Babylonian Empire;
it had breasts of silver, representing the Medio Persian Empire; it
100
had a waist of bronze, representing the Grecian Empire; and finally
it had the legs of iron with feet of iron and clay, representing the
final world Empire. To tie this statue together with the beasts you
have to understand that the vision of the beasts, that both Daniel
and later John saw, were a continuation of the visions of this statue.
The vision of the statue and the beasts are tied together in their
message.
When John saw the continuation of the vision, he saw two
beasts, the “beast of the sea” and the “beast of the earth.” What
these two beasts represent are the two legs on the statue.
Remember, the last Empire was the two legs of iron. These two legs
are the two beasts that work together to control the empire. To
reemphasize, the two beasts, the beast of the sea and the beast of
the earth are the two legs of iron with the feet of iron and clay of
Daniel’s statue.
One leg is the political side of the empire and the other leg
is the false church, or spiritual side of the empire. Since the time
that the beast became the two legs of the statue, it has stood on
these two legs. Most people do not realize that the Universal or
Catholic Church was there since the beginning of the two-leg
empire. Since the beginning of the Roman Empire the political side
of the beast and the spiritual side of the beast have always worked
together to grow and maintain it.
In the beginning, when the beast was called the Roman
Empire the Caesars were considered gods. The Caesars needed the
Pagan Church to direct the worship of the people to themselves. In
return, the leaders of the Church gained power and authority.
During the middle ages, there was a manifestation of the beast
empire where it transitioned into the feudalistic system of
monarchies. In our day, the beast empire has shifted into the world
government system under the banner of the United Nations. In
each case the Church and State have worked together to maintain
and grow Satan’s kingdom. Throughout history, this symbiotic
101
relationship between the political side and the spiritual side of this
final empire has taken place.
Most prophecy expositors believe that the two legs are the
eastern and western parts of the Roman Empire, but this is not the
case because the empire was not always arranged between the
east and the west. Originally, as it absorbed the Grecian Empire,
the Empire had many providences. As it grew farther into its
ascendancy, it was divided between the north and the south, as
described in Daniel 11. Daniel 11 is a summary, by the angel
Gabriel, of how world events would play out during the seventy
weeks of Daniel.* Many want to put these events into the future,
but these events have already run their course.
The beast empire, as described by Daniel’s statue, has gone
through many metamorphoses throughout its history. The only
constant that we see in this final empire is the two legs, as the
Church and State work together to grow and maintain the Empire.
The contexts of the scriptures describing these two beasts that
represent the two legs of the statue demonstrate the fact that the
Church and the State are the two legs of the final Empire.
Let us examine these two legs of the statue, which are the
two beasts of Revelations:
* Go to www.herealittletherealittle.net and read the article entitled Daniel 11,
an expose outlining the historic events described in Daniel 11.
The Beast of the Sea YAH calls it the “beast of the sea” because it comes out of
the depths of the sea. When the Almighty flooded the earth, He
destroyed all flesh on earth due to judgment against man’s
rebellion. When Noah’s sons began to repopulate the earth, some
of them resurrected this rebellion, which YAH had buried in the
depths of the abyss. Man resurrected the gods of old, dragging
102
them back up out of the sea where they were supposed to remain
buried. At the Tower of Babel, Nimrod and his followers drug the
rebellion of old out of the sea in defiance to GOD.
When you are talking about the beast, you are talking about
the kingdom of Satan. Satan is the god of the beast kingdom and it
does his will. Satan requires the worship of all those who live in his
kingdom and he uses the two beasts to direct worship towards
himself. These beasts are his allies in a struggle against GOD.
The Beast of the Sea:
(Rev 13:1-9)And he stood on the sand of the seashore. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; and they worshiped the dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?" And there was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies; and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them; and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
“And he stood on the sand of the seashore.” The “he” is
referring to Satan. He is standing on the seashore waiting for an ally
103
to help him with his rebellion against GOD. We see the rise of the
beast empire as man dredged up the rebellion of old up out of the
sea. The beast empire or Satan’s empire began at the Tower of
Babel where Nimrod and his followers dredged the pre-flood
rebellion out of the abyss.
The following description of the beast empire is how we know it is
the Satan’s empire, “And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea,
having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten
diadems.” The diadems are a reference to the stones that Lucifer
wore. In YAH’s description of Lucifer he had ten diadems; "You
were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your
covering: The ruby, the topaz, and the diamond; the beryl, the onyx,
and the jasper; the lapis lazuli, the turquoise, and the emerald; and
the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, Was in you.
On the day that you were created they were prepared.” (Eze 28:13)
As you can see, YEHOVAH made Satan for the job of being covering
angel and Satan wore ten diadems. This is where the ten horns with
diadems come from. They represent ten kings or nations.
Notice that Lucifer was to rule over ten tribes or nations,
but Yeshua is to rule over twelve tribes or nations. There are twelve
diadems on Yeshua’s priestly garments. Here is the difference:
• Ten is the number of perfection, the completion of
God's divine order
• Twelve is the number of governmental perfection
and divine government.
When YEHOVAH finished with creation, He stepped back to
look at what He had created and He said, “Behold, it is very
good.”(Gen 1:31) By good, it is meant that the order would fulfil
the purpose for which it was made. The order provided a place for
man to dwell and thrive. The order that He had created on earth is
104
represented by the ten diadems worn by Lucifer who was the
covering angel over this order.
At this point YEHOVAH’s Kingdom had not been established
on earth. Now that creation was complete and perfected, YAH still
needed to establish "governmental perfection." Governmental
perfection is represented by the number twelve. Even though
creation had been completed and put into order, divine Law still
had to be established on earth. Once divine law was instituted, the
covering angel would then wear twelve diadems.
Before divine Law could be established, a question had to
be asked of humanity. This question was presented to Adam who
would answer for all of humanity that would come forth from him.
That question was presented to Adam in the form of two trees. The
question was, will you follow My Divine Law and eat of the tree of
life, or will you rebel and eat of the tree of good and evil. Adam’s
answer was that of rebellion.
Satan with his ten diadems, the covering angel, failed in his
duties to lead man in the proper direction. Our covering angel
rebelled, tempted Adam, and Adam followed him into rebellion.
If humanity had agreed to not rebel against GOD, and if
Adam had chosen to take from the tree of life, then GOD’s work
would have been done concerning humanity. Man would have
most likely stepped into divine government without the slightest
problem. If Lucifer, the covering angel, had not rebelled he may
have taken on two more diadems to signify the transition into
divine government, but Lucifer failed in his duties and humanity
chose to rebel. As a result, YEHOVAH had to raise up a new
covering angel, the one who would establish divine government on
earth and dawn twelve diadems.
Now that man rebelled, YEHOVAH had to do a new work of
creation. For the last six thousand years, YEHOVAH has been
working to set forth his divine Law by turning the heart of man
105
away from his rebellion. He has also been working to restore
intimacy with His children. To do this He had to create a new
covering angel. In order to save us from our sin this new covering
angel was hung on a tree to pay the price for our sins. “But he was
wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes
we are healed.”(Isaiah 53:5) From the beginning, it was YEHOVAH’s
plan for humanity to take of the tree of life. Now when we accept
Yeshua as our sacrificial Lamb our rebellion ends and our hearts are
transformed. YEHOVAH’s divine government can now be
completed. The Law will complete its purpose of creating a
righteous people. We will now be able partake of the tree of life.
Returning to the beast of the sea, we see that the beast has
ten horns, which represent ten regions, governments, or kings. The
beast empire has gone through many reorganizations, and from its
inception, the number of regions and kings has varied greatly. Do
not get hung up on finding exactly ten governments and try to find
exactly ten kings. No matter how many nations there are, the
nations are represented by the ten diadems because Satan’s
kingdom is represented by the number ten.
The Seven Heads Now we will talk about the seven heads with blasphemous
names. The heads represent the major religions of the world, which
are also called hills or mountains. These are a counterfeit of the
seven spirits of GOD.
The seven spirits of GOD are represented by the menorah.
From the example of the menorah, we can see that the seven
spirits are a source of light that are to guide us to the throne of the
Almighty. In YAH’s Kingdom we know who and what the spirits are
because John points them out to us in the book of Revelations: “As
for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand,
106
and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of
the seven churches and the seven lampstands are the seven
churches. (Rev 1:20) The angels spoken of here are not heavenly
beings, they are the pastors of the churches spoken of. The word
angel means messenger, and the pastors of the churches are the
messengers of YAH to His flocks. In the Greek, the word church is
“ecclesia,” which means assembly. We know that there were more
than seven assemblies or churches in John’s day so do not get hung
up on finding exactly seven churches. The Church is represented by
the number seven. Seven is the number of perfection, and YAH is
perfecting His Church. This is the message of the seven churches,
the perfected Church, which will be a light to the world in the
millennial reign of the Messiah.
Based on this, we can see that the seven heads of the beast
represent false light or false gospels. It is obvious who one of these
heads is by the context. The head that “was fatally wounded and
healed” is the false messiah. This is a reference to the resurrection
of the savior god. The world followed the beast because of the false
messiah and the creation of the Christian religion, which became
the largest and most powerful of all the religions on earth. This
religion did away with the Law and the Sabbaths, electing instead
to keep the “venerable day of the sun god” (Sunday), “Easter” and
“Christmas.”
Where this scripture talked about, “The head slain and its
fatal wound was healed,” this is a direct reference to the creation
of the false messiah. This false messiah was slain on Good Friday
and was resurrected on Easter Sunday. Both of these holidays were
borrowed from pagan ritual. The entire world was amazed at the
false messiah, and from the time of Constantine has followed the
beast because of this head that was slain. Have you heard of the
song, Oh Sacred Head Now Wounded, which is based on a Medieval
Latin poem, Salve mundi salutare? This popular ode to the Christ
whose head was wounded depicting the world’s view of the Christ
107
they follow. This view is in contrast to the truth of scripture, which
says that the Messiahs heal would be wounded, but the head of the
serpent would be crushed.
After the head was healed, “The whole world was amazed
and followed after the beast.” This is the resurrection of the false
messiah. After the creation of the false messiah, the Empire quickly
became the fastest growing Empire on earth. It spread to all
nations and tongues. To this day, it is the largest religion on earth,
and today it has amassed its power through the United Nations
with the United States and other Christian nations being the leader
of this federation. Through the Jesuit order, working underground,
it has infiltrated all of the governments of the world and rules in
darkness.
In Rev 17:11 we see that the beast representing the false
messiah is actually an eighth head, "And the beast which was and
is not, is himself also an eighth, and is one of the seven, and he goes
to destruction.” The eighth head is the rise of the religion that
presents the false messiah.
Now that we have identified one of the heads as being the
false messiah and his religion, we can also determine whom the
other seven heads are that are spreading false light to the world.
They are Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Bahia, Confucianism,
and Shintoism. Satan’s kingdom consists of all the false religions of
the world, which direct the worship of the people to himself.
Another reason we know that the heads represent religions
is where it says, “…and on his heads were blasphemous names.”
Blasphemy is always associated with false religion, so it only makes
sense that these heads are the false religions of the world directing
the worship of the people toward a false god.
“And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet
were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion.
And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great
108
authority.” This is what the beast looks like at the end of the age
just prior to going to destruction. Since we live at the end of the
age this is what the beast looks like now.
Daniel 7 is a companion to this verse. John and Daniel saw
the same beast, but Daniel saw the beast from a different vantage
point. When Daniel saw the beast, he saw it as four separate
empires. These empires relate back to the statue he had seen
where the beast represent the four major empires that would
dominate the world throughout history. Daniel would have
understood the lion to be the Babylonian Empire, the bear to be
the Medio-Persian Empire and the leopard to be the Grecian
Empire.
Daniel would not have known the origins of the last beast
because it represents the final Empire, which had not come into
existence yet. We now know that this was the Roman Empire.
Initially the Roman Empire was governed by the system of
Emperors with the pagan Church of Rome leading the worship of
the people. Then during the middle ages, this empire morphed and
became the Roman Catholic Church and the system of Monarchs.
In these latter times the empire morphed once again becoming the
United Nations with the Christian nations, consisting of Protestants
and Catholics, at the forefront of its power. The final beast has not
died and gone away as many believe, it has just morphed from one
state to another along the way. It went from the legs of iron to the
feet of iron and clay and then to the ten toes as seen on Daniel’s
statue.
Later when John saw this beast in his vision, the beasts had
all become one beast with the characteristics of each of the beasts
still intact. As a result, the final beast Empire, which has dominated
the earth since the fall of the Grecian Empire, has ruled the earth
and will rule the earth until Yeshua returns. This is the beast having
ten horns and seven heads. This beast also has the characteristics
of the empires that were absorbed as each ascending empire
109
conquered the previous. Now when you see the final beast it is like
a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth
like the mouth of a lion. This composite beast is the final world
Empire that is in control of the world today through the U.N.
Two things have changed since the early years of these
beast nations. One is that the peoples of these nations have
migrated to different parts of the world. The other is that the
peoples from the lost tribes of Israel have been sifted through
these people groups.
To reiterate, there is now only one beast because the final
beast swallowed up the previous beasts. This beast is the beast that
has ten horns and seven heads. This beast is a worldwide in scope
and is in control the entire earth. It was once beaten back to just
the area of Europe, but it again expanded its territories and has
become a worldwide empire. It is the two legs of the statue, the
church and the state, which work together as one. This worldwide
beast empire is what we now call the United Nations. The Roman
Catholic Church operates through the Black Pope and its Jesuit
cabal to control the affairs of the world through dark and
underground means.
Using scripture, we can identify the final beast nation and
see the characteristics of the lion, bear and leopard in the beast. To
do this, it is best to refer back to Daniel’s description of the beasts
because it gives us more details about the beast. We will look at
Dan 7:3-7 verse by verse:
The first was like a lion and had eagle's wings: I beheld till
the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the
earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man; and a man's
heart was given to it. Anyone from either the United States (U.S.)
or Great Britain (G.B.) should recognize who this is. The animal
symbol for G.B. is the lion. If you will notice the picture of the British
110
Coat of Arms below, you will see that the lion is standing on two
feet as a man. Everyone knows that the United States came out of
Great Britain and that its symbol is the eagle. The U.S., whose
national symbol is the eagle, are the wings plucked out of the lion.
The man’s heart given to this beast signifies the philosophy of this
kingdom. It exalts the human more that the divine. It is a man-
centered philosophy called secular humanism. This pertains to
both G.B. and the U.S.
Even though the U.S. came out of G.B., they still operate as
a coalition, especially in times of war. In fact, G.B. just had the
Brexit vote where the citizens voted to pull out of the E. U., so we
will most likely see this coalition get stronger.
The next beast is the bear. And, behold, another beast, a
second, like to a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three
111
ribs were in its mouth between its teeth: and they said thus unto
it, Arise, devour much flesh. Everyone knows that the bear is the
animal symbol for Russia. It is also well known that Russian regimes
have had a history of brutality and murder. Stalin conducted the
Great Purge to remove opponents of the Communist Party through
the mass arbitrary arrest of many people who were then sent to
correctional labor camps or sentenced to death, thus devouring
much flesh. This is definitely referring to the territory of Russia.
This covers two of the major regions of the world having
major political power and that play a major role in end-time
prophecy. Next is the leopard. After this I beheld, and, lo, another,
like a leopard, which had upon its back four wings of a bird; the
beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. For many
years, I have thought that the national animal symbol of Germany
was the leopard. I thought this because I have heard many Bible
prophecy teachers say this. Because of this, I thought that I would
be able to identify Germany as the fulfillment of this prophecy as
easily as I did Russia, G.B. and the U.S. When I went to research for
this book, I was shocked to find out that the leopard is not the
animal symbol of Germany. I spent many hours researching who
else could be the leopard, but there are no other candidates for the
leopard kingdom.
As I continued to contemplate on this, it seemed to me that
the region of Europe is a major political force and had to be
included in Bible prophecy. With Germany being the dominant
nation in the European Union, Germany seemed to be the best
candidate for the leopard. While going through this I ran into a
couple of articles stating that the leopard is the unofficial animal
symbol of Germany. After much consideration, I decided that this
must be the case for several reasons:
• It is established among many Bible believers that Germany’s
animal symbol is the leopard. The Bible was written for
112
those seeking truth, and among those, this belief has
endured in many camps.
• The panther and the leopard are considered the same
animal. The German people seem to have a particular
fondness for the panther, and we find the term is utilized
broadly in Germanic culture. In the German television
industry, for example, a major vendor is Panther
Electronics. In the military, two prominent naval vessels (a
cruiser and a gunboat) were both named The Panther.
Under Hitler's Third Reich, the primary tanks were named
Panthers, while another tank was the Panther's relative the
Tiger. Indeed, 21st century Germany now manufactures a
tank that has been deployed in Bosnia known as the
Leopard
• We know that these beasts are a description of the world
just prior to the coming of YEHOVAH. Daniel 7:11 says,
“Then I kept looking because of the sound of the boastful
words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the
beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and given to the
burning fire.” This gives us the time frame of this vision,
which would no doubt be at the end of the age just prior to
Yeshua’s return. Therefore, the European Union has to be
involved. Since Germany is the dominant figure in the E.U.
it only makes sense that Germany would be this leopard.
• The four heads are another clue. We know that Nazi
Germany was the Third Reich. The word Reich means
Kingdom. There have been three German Kingdoms, and
the current German Kingdom makes four. With the fall of
the Berlin wall Germany has once again become a
juggernaut in the heart of Europe. The Fourth Reich had its
genesis in 1951 when Germany (leopard) and France (fowl)
sponsored the European Coal and Steel Community, which
evolved into the present day European Union. The Euro is
113
now the common currency, and Germany is still the
dominating nation in the EU. This fulfills the prophecy
saying that the leopard would be given dominance because
it has dominance of the E.U. and the E.U. is an extension of
Germany’s power.
• There is the old axiom, which states, “A leopard can't
change his spots.” We have to remember that the Germanic
people have created two world wars. Something in the
German psychic causes them to want to dominate the
world.
The fourth and final beast that came forth from the sea is
the ten-horned beast. After this I saw in the night-visions, and,
behold, a fourth beast, terrible and powerful, and strong
exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and brake in
pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse
from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. As
previously stated this was the final beast or world empire and it has
devoured the other beast and now they are all one beast. Through
time, this beast has morphed into a worldwide empire. We have
already seen that the ten-horned beast is the Empire of Satan.
Satan’s Empire covers the entire earth and it is governed by the
United Nations.
The number ten represents divine order. Satan is the
covering angel over divine order. Satan and his allies, which are the
nations described above, have rebelled against the establishment
of the divine government being established on earth. Soon they,
along with all the other nations of the earth, will war against the
Almighty for control of the earth.
The ten horns correspond to the ten toes of Daniel’s statue.
This is the final manifestation of the beast empire. The ten horns or
ten toes are all the nations that we see on the earth today. All of
these nations of the world are a part of the federation of nations
114
called the United Nations. It is a global empire as scripture
predicted. The U.N. is the final manifestation of the beast empire
on earth. It is all the nations of the earth wrapped into one, and
these nations are represented by the ten diadems of Satan, who is
the covering angel over all these nations.
I am always amazed at how the nations of the world
continue to give more and more of their sovereignty over to the
U.N. Eventually they will give complete sovereignty over to the
U.N. for the purpose of fighting GOD.
Satan, the dragon, gives the beast his power “…and they
worshiped the dragon, because he gave his authority to the
beast…” The beast is Satan’s empire with the power of Satan.
“Then the world follows the beast saying who can make
war with the beast.” This beast has had dominion in war since its
beginning. Each of the Empires represented by the Daniel’s statue
had dominated the earth. The beast has made war with the true
saints of GOD and has overcome them throughout history. Soon all
nations will give Satan full authority to use their armies to fight
GOD Almighty in an attempt to extinguish all those who walk with
GOD.
“And there was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant
words and blasphemies; and authority to act for forty-two months
was given to him.” The arrogant words are a false gospel directing
worship of the people to the false god, Satan. Many scriptures
mention this forty-two month period. This forty-two month period
is the time when the “Mystery of YEHOVAH” is revealed. It is when
the last trump is blown and GOD’s judgement will come down from
his throne.
In the above scripture, it says that the beast is allowed to
act for (until) forty-two months. This forty-two month period will
take place at the end of the age. Until then the beast, Satan, is given
the power to act in his full capacity. The beast empire is completely
given over to his will and he is be able to do as he pleases. Soon
115
Satan will control the earth as the head of the United Nations and
will be considered god on earth. He will claim to be the savior god
and make himself out to be king and priest over the earth.
Remember that Satan is a counterfeit of the true Messiah.
The beast empire will attempt to war with YEHOVAH, but it
will be crushed. Dan 7:9-14 paints an awesome picture of YEHOVAH
on His Throne during this event:
"I kept looking until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow, And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames, its wheels were a burning fire. "A river of fire was flowing and coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, and myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; the court sat, and the books were opened. "Then I kept looking because of the sound of the boastful words, which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and given to the burning fire. "As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period of time. "I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. "And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one, which will not be destroyed.
The fire coming out from the throne is the Shekinah Glory.
Deuteronomy 4:24 tells us, "For YEHOVAH your GOD is a consuming
fire, a jealous GOD.” As the fire proceeds from the Throne,
everyone on earth will be consumed by it. For those who are
marked for obedience, they will be consumed by YEHOVAH’s love.
116
YEHOVAH will circumcise their hearts, which will allow the fire of
GOD, His Shekinah Glory, to come have a resting place within them.
They will become sons of the living GOD. On the other hand, those
who are marked for disobedience will be destroyed by the fire of
YEHOVAH’s wrath. The beast with ten horns will be destroyed along
with the eight false religions of the world, but "As for the rest of
the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of
life was granted to them for an appointed period of time.” The
United Nations, which is the world empire, will be destroyed, but
the U.S., G.B., E.U., Russia and China will be preserved for a period.
This is so YAH can bring healing to the nations. (Rev 22)
Rise of the Antichrist To understand the beast empire you must realize that it
began at the tower of Babel and continued to form throughout the
centuries up to the present. Each prophecy that describes the beast
gives us detail about the beast at specific point in time. We have
been discussing the beast as it looks at the end of the age. Now we
need to look at the beast just after it became the two legs of iron.
This will give you an understanding of the origins of the antichrist.
In this, you will see the rise of the antichrist and the rise of the false
church:
(Dan 7:23-27) "Thus he said: 'The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it. 'As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings. 'He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for (until) a time, times, and half a time. 'But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion
117
will be taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever. 'Then the sovereignty, the dominion, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.'
Following the progression of this prophecy you can see that
this is about the same beast empire with ten horns that we have
been discussing, only this prophecy covers the years when it had
just become the two legs of iron. At that time, the beast was the
Roman Empire. This prophecy gives us the details of what took
place during the Roman Period not long after Messiah’s ascension.
It would have been from the time of the ascension to the time of
Constantine.
Through conquest, the Roman Empire was expanding its
territories. As Daniel predicted, ten kings would arise and then one
would come along that would be different. “As for the ten horns,
out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise
after them.” The ten horns represent the political leg of the beast
empire. Ten kings, or emperors, will rise up out of the ten horned
beast followed by the one who will be different. There will be many
more then these ten so do not assume that the ten horns and the
ten kings are the same thing. The ten horns are how we identify the
beast empire and out of this empire, these ten kings will be the
initial ones to arise. Following is a list of the ten kings that arose out
of the Roman Empire. These are taken from the Fox Book of
Martyrs. These are also known as the ten persecutions:
• First Persecution, Nero, A.D. 67
• Second Persecution, Domitian, A.D. 81
• Third Persecution, Trajan, A.D. 108
• Fourth Persecution, Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, A.D. 162
118
• Fifth Persecution, Severus, A.D. 192
• Sixth Persecution, Maximus, A.D. 235
• Seventh Persecution, Decius, A.D. 249
• Eighth Persecution, Valerian, A.D. 257
• Ninth Persecution, Aurelian, A.D. 274
• Tenth Persecution, Diocletian, A.D. 303
Each of these Emperors persecuted the followers of Messiah, but
the next one to arise would be different.
We can determine whom this Emperor was because of
clues given about him. These clues are, “he would be different from
the others; he would conquer three kings; he would change times
and Laws; and he would speak out against the Most High.” There
is only one man who this could be and that is the Emperor
Constantine.
Constantine ruled during the Roman era called the
“Tetrarchy and Constantinian Dynasty.” During this time, the
Empire was divided into four main regions; each having an
Emperor, and these regions were each subdivided into provinces,
each providence having an Emperor. In my study, I could not find a
list of exactly how many provinces there were, but it seemed to be
about ten to twelve. During Constantine’s reign, he subdued three
of the main provinces, the Maxentian province, the Licinius
province and the Diocletian province, which was named according
to who ruled the province. By doing this, Constantine became the
controlling Emperor in all of the Roman Empire. This fulfilled the
above scripture, which said, “He will subdue three kings.”
The thing that made Constantine different from the other
Emperors is that he did not call himself a god as the other Emperors
did. Instead, he made Christianity the official state religion and
asserted himself as the Pontifex Maximus with the title Vicar of
Christ. This put Constantine as the head of all the Roman Bishops.
119
This was not new, all of the Emperors were the Pontifex
Maximus, which means High Priest, but what made Constantine
different is that instead of being “god on earth,” Constantine made
himself the “Vicar of Christ on earth.”
As the Vicar of Christ, Constantine spoke out against the
Most High and determined to change times and Law. Constantine
did exactly this by creating a new calendar, which did away with
YEHOVAH’s reckoning of time, replacing it with a solar calendar. He
also replaced the Biblical Feasts with Easter and Christmas, and he
changed the Sabbath from the seventh day of the week to the
“venerable day of the Sun God,” (Sunday). This was the beginning
of the great apostasy. Constantine did away with the Law of GOD
and replaced it with his own law. This new lawless messiah created
by Constantine and the false church presented a false gospel.
The beast would rein and wear out the saints until a time
times and a half of a time. It is well established that a time times
and a half of a time refers to a 1260 day or three and a half year
period. Any time scripture refers to this period, it is referring to the
period when the “Mystery of GOD is revealed.” This is the last three
and a half years of the beast’s history when our Messiah will crush
the beast empire and establish His reign on earth. So the beast will
reign and wear out the Saints until the Mystery of GOD is revealed.
The above scripture gives us some clues to what the mystery is:
“But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be taken
away, annihilated and destroyed forever. Then the sovereignty,
the dominion, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the
whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the
Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all
the dominions will serve and obey Him.” This is the mystery of
GOD, the final destruction of the beast empire and the
establishment of YEHOVAH’s Empire.
120
The Beast of the Earth Now let us look at the second beast that John saw. This
beast is the second leg of the statue and of the beast empire.
Because of the language used, it is apparent that this beast is the
false church:
Rev 13:11-15 - And I saw another beast coming up out of the
earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a
dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his
presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to
worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. And he
performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out
of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. And he deceives
those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was
given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those
who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had
the wound of the sword and has come to life. And there was given
to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of
the beast might even speak and cause as many as do not worship
the image of the beast to be killed…
YAH uses the term “earth” when describing this beast in
order to signify the fact that this is an earthly religion and not a
heavenly religion. This religion is derived by the imaginations of
men, and not the direction of GOD, therefore, it is earthly. Some
other names used to refer to this beast are harlot and false
prophet.
In this prophecy, the horns represent streams of power. The
two horns like a lamb are indicating that it is masquerading as the
Lamb of GOD. These two horns are the Catholic and the Protestant
streams of power of this beast. These two horns have a lawless
messiah masquerading as the true Messiah. If you do not believe
121
me, go and ask any Christian Pastor if Jesus did away with the Law.
Their answer will always be yes, because universally the doctrine of
Christianity is that the Law was done away with. This makes Jesus
and his followers the lawless one. This is in contrast with Yeshua
who kept the Law, and whose followers teach that the Law is valid
and must be kept.
“And he spoke as a dragon.” This is referring to the false
gospel that this religion teaches. Since the Garden of Eden, Satan
the dragon has been using his false prophets to steer man away
from YEHOVAH and His Law.
“And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his
presence,” this is referring to the symbiotic relationship of the
Church and State. Since the time that the beast became the two
legs of iron, this symbiotic relationship has existed with the beast
empire. Satan has given the false Church authority to preach his
false gospels.
“And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to
worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.” This is a
reference to the fact that this beast causes all of the earth to
worship the false messiah, or antichrist. The Messiah’s wounds
were healed when He was resurrected from the dead. The false
church copied this and created its own messiah whose wounds
were also supposedly healed. In actuality, what they were doing is
directing the worship of the people towards Satan who is
masquerading as the savior god.
“And he performs great signs, so that he even makes fire
come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men.
And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs
which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast.”
The fire coming from heaven is in reference to the Holy Spirit who
came in the form of tongues of fire on the one hundred and twenty
in the upper room in Acts 2:3-4, “And there appeared unto them
122
cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they
were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” For the beast, the fire
coming from heaven is a false holy spirit. This false holy spirit can
be identified by the fact that it does not lead the people back to the
covenant of GOD, but they continue to be lawless. The primary
tenant of Christianity is that Jesus did away with the Law, so it is
lawless. Satan uses lying signs and wonders as he leads the people
astray.
“…telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image
to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to
life.” They have already made an image of the beast, and it hangs
on the cross in all Catholic Churches. This statue that hangs on the
cross is an idol of the false messiah. The sword supposedly
wounded it. Of course, this is copied from Yeshua who was speared
in the side while on the cross and was later resurrected.
Rev 13:16-18 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and
poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in
their foreheads: (17) And that no man might buy or sell, save he
that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his
name. (18) Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and
his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
I have explained the mark in previous chapters. You saw
that the word mark and the word sign is the same thing. It is a sign
of what god you worship. Do you worship YEHOVAH the Creator or
do you worship a false god. If you worship the Creator, you will
keep the Sabbath because it was established by Him as a covenant
between Him and His people as a sign or mark of obedience.
(17) And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had
the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
123
This was the policy in the Roman Empire in order to enforce the
Sunday laws imposed by the Emperors. This could be instituted
again, although, as a Sabbath keeper it has greatly hampered my
ability to find a job where I do not have to work on Saturday. The
world where we now live operates twenty-four seven because of
the love of money. I live in a resort city where the rooms and
condos change over on Saturday. Because of this Saturday is their
most busy day so the resort managers want their workers available
on Saturdays. This makes it difficult to find jobs that do not require
you to work on Saturdays.
(18) Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and
his number is Six hundred threescore and six. There is much
Speculation about what this 666 is. It is very simple in the context
of the previous verses. The number six is the number of
unperfected man. Remember the number seven represents the
Church or those who believe in the true GOD. So the number six is
fallen man who has a false god (6), a false religion (6) and a false
savior/sacrifice (6).
We have inherited nothing but lies. We have inherited
lawlessness, including Easter, Christmas, and all the other junk that
has come down from Babylon the mother of harlots and later
adopted by Rome and the harlot Church. If you refuse to come out
of this then the Bible says you are part of the whore of Babylon.
The Bible clearly teaches us to come out of this. Revelations 18: 4
says, "Come out of her, my people, that you may not participate in
her sins and that you may not receive of her plagues; for her sins
have piled up as high as heaven, and GOD has remembered her
iniquities.”
Come out of this mess and worship the true and living GOD.
Worship the way He asked to be worshiped in scripture. This is the
path to salvation. Show yourself worthy of His love and His
salvation. Show yourself worthy to be a member of Israel by being
124
one who will uphold the Laws of His Kingdom. The day of the Lord
comes soon and all of the plagues are coming for those who do not
keep the Law of YEHOVAH. They will come pouring out like a flood
on the earth. Those who call themselves the Bride of Christ, but do
not do His will shall suffer an awful fate. In her heart, she says, “I
set as A Queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.”
She thinks that through the rapture, she will be delivered, but she
is deceived.
There is a rapture coming, but the Church has it backwards
of how it will happen. Yeshua explained how it is going to happen
in His parable about the wheat and the tares. In it, He explains the
process, "Therefore just as the tares are gathered up and burned
with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age. “The Son of Man will
send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all
stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, and will cast
them into the furnace of fire; in that place there shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth. Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS
THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him
hear.” (Mat 13:40-43) In that day, Yeshua will snatch out or rapture
the lawless ones to be burned in everlasting destruction. Those
who embrace GOD’s Law will inherit the earth. In the sermon on
the Mound Yeshua told us that the meek would inherit the earth.
The meek are those who do the will of GOD, as opposed to those
who are so proud that they create their own law and will not follow
GOD’s.
Another parable that Christianity loves to use concerning
the rapture, and that they have backwards, is Matthew 24:38-42:
"For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating
and drinking, they were marrying and giving in marriage, until the
day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until
the flood came and took them all away; so shall the coming of the
Son of Man be. “Then there shall be two men in the field; one will
be taken, and one will be left. "Two women will be grinding at the
125
mill; one will be taken, and one will be left. “Therefore be on the
alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.” The false
prophets are telling you that those taken away are being raptured
to go be with God, and the unrighteous are left to go through God’s
punishment. This is completely backwards of what the text says. He
said that like in the days of Noah the evil ones were taken away by
YAH’s wrath. Noah was not taken away he inherited the earth. He
entered the safety of the ark where he was preserved on the earth
while YEHOVAH snatched the unrighteous from the earth, thus
cleansing the earth of evil.
Those in the parable, who are not taken away, are not taken
away because they also have entered an ark. We all have an ark
that we can enter so that we are not taken away by the wrath of
GOD. It is the Ark of Covenant. We see this ark in the Holy of Holies.
If you will recall, within the Ark of the Covenant are the tablets of
the Law. Whoever, enters into this Ark by accepting what is written
on those tablets will not be taken away, but instead they will inherit
the earth.
There is a reason why YAH would allow this false messiah to
rule over the earth for all these years. Paul gave us the answer in 2
Thessalonians 2:8-12, “And then that lawless one will be revealed
whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to
an end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one whose
coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and
signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness
for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the
truth so as to be saved. And for this reason GOD will send upon
them a deluding influence so that they might believe what is false,
in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth,
but took pleasure in wickedness.” The false messiah is a deluding
influence designed to cause those who do not believe the truth to
be exposed for who they are. You may be a good Christian, but the
practices of Christianity are wickedness and they are an
126
abomination before YEHOVAH. Come out of her and worship
YEHOVAH in truth.
I was once part of Christianity thinking that I was a member
of YAH’s Kingdom. As I studied the Bible, it occurred to me that at
some point Christianity had been highjacked. It was no longer the
Christianity created by the Apostles; unfortunately, it had become
something else. I had to decide if I was going to continue to follow
the false religion that it had become, or was I going to step out of
it and follow the dictates of the Bible.
Yeshua told us that the end would come just like the days
of Noah when the flood came and swept all the inhabitance of the
earth away. The bride of the false messiah is looking for a rapture
to snatch her away to safety, but the rapture they experience will
be to snatch them away to a fiery destruction to be with their god,
the destroyer. The destroyer is the one who leads man away from
the Law of the One True GOD to exalt himself above GOD by being
a law unto himself. The snatching will be the wicked of the earth
cast into the fire. Those who have come out of Babylon and who
love the truth are protected by the Passover. The Passover is clearly
taught in the Bible, and when you keep the Law of the One True
GOD, you practice the Passover on an annual basis. With the
Passover, GOD will Passover your sins because you have the blood
of the Lamb over the doorpost of your heart. If you practice Easter,
you have no Passover. The Law is our friend not our enemy, and
without it you do not have access to salvation. In the Day of
Judgment will you hear Yeshua say, “Depart from me, all of you
who wondered after the lawless one;” or will you hear, “you
esteemed my Law and entered the Ark of the Covenant, so I
Passover your debt.”
"Her priests have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught
127
the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they hide their eyes from My sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. (Eze 22:26)
The Beast Empire or Scorpio still rules the world today as
the ten toes of iron and clay. It is a global Empire, and you reside in
it no matter where you live. All nations are part of the United
Nations and are part of the beast empire. Your only way out is to
enter into the Ark, the Ark of the Covenant.

Rev 14 – The Conquering Lamb (Sagittarius: Nov 2019-
Nov 2020)
(The Seven Year Pease Treaty)
Because the chapters up to this point are in the past, I can
say with a certain amount of certainty that my analysis is correct.
From this point forward, I am looking into the future so I am only
making an educated guess about what will happen. As you read the
next chapters, please keep this in mind. I am going to lay out a
possible scenario, but it could be much different then what I am
laying out here.
129
In the past two chapters, YAH has been highlighting the two
competing empires, the Empire of those who keep YEHOVAH’s
commandments, and those chose to follow Satan’s empire where
there is no Law. On the world stage, these two empires will begin
to loom large and the competition between them will unfold.
Tzedek will now enter the constellation of Sagittarius. In this
constellation, you see a picture of the Archer with his arrow
pointed at the heart of Scorpio. The bow has been pulled and is
ready to be released when the time comes. The arrow is aimed at
the heart of Scorpio the beast empire. Yeshua is no longer the
sacrifice, but he is now the conqueror, ready to destroy Satan and
his empire. The destruction of the beast empire is now eminent.
The decans for this constellation are:
“Lyra,” the eagle holding the harp (the triumph)
“Ara,” The alter of the completed sacrifice
“Draco,” the enemy who is to be trodden under foot.
In the previous chapter, we saw the two beasts comprising
the beast empire who refuse to follow GOD. They are a deluding
influence so that those who will not believe YAH will be taken away.
Now in this chapter we see the first fruits of those who are not
swayed by the deluding influence of Satan’s kingdom, the 144,000
who were obedient, keeping the word, or as stated in this verse,
“following the Lamb wherever He goes.”
The use of the number 144,000 represents the entirety of
those saved by the Lamb. Just as seven represents the Church, ten
represents the beast empire, and twelve represents Yeshua’s
Empire, 144,000 represents the entirety of those who are saved.
Rev 14:1-5 And I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on
Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand,
having His name and the name of His Father written on their
foreheads. (2) And I heard a voice from heaven, like the sound of
130
many waters and like the sound of loud thunder, and the voice
which I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their
harps. (3) And they sang a new song before the throne and before
the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn
the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who
had been purchased from the earth. (4) These are the ones who
have not been defiled with women, for they have kept themselves
chaste. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He
goes. These have been purchased from among men as first fruits
to God and to the Lamb. (5) And no lie was found in their mouth;
they are blameless.
When we chose to follow the Lamb, we put Yeshua on the
throne of our hearts. One decan to this constellation is Lyra, the
Harp giving praise and glory to the conqueror. This group of people
is singing for joy because the Lamb paid our sin debt and we can
now go before GOD blameless for our sins. The mark our foreheads
is the acceptance of GOD’s Law and His Sabbath’s. This marks us for
obedience, and we are saved through the blood of the Lamb who
defeated Satan at the cross.
Rev 14:6-19 And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having
an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to
every nation and tribe and tongue and people; (7) and he said
with a loud voice, "Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour
of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made the
heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters." (8) And
another angel, a second one, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is
Babylon the great, she who has made all the nations drink of the
wine of the passion of her immorality." (9) And another angel, a
third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone
worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his
forehead or upon his hand, (10) he also will drink of the wine of
the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His
anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the
131
presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. (11)
"And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; and
they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and
his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name." (12) Here
is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of
God and their faith in Yeshua. (13) And I heard a voice from
heaven, saying, "Write, 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord
from now on!'" "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from
their labors, for their deeds follow with them."
These Angels carry the message of the eternal gospel. The
word angel means messenger. The messenger in this case is
probably referring to the Old Testament, New Testament and the
Mazzaroth, which are an eternal gospel. This gospel is the gospel of
the Kingdom, “repent for the Kingdom of GOD is at hand.” This is
one of the final pushes to warn the world before the reaping of the
tares begins.
Where this verse says, "Fear God, and give Him glory,
because the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who
made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters,"
This verse is a reference to the Creator, the GOD of the Sabbath.
Those who do not have the mark of the Sabbath, but instead have
the mark of the beast, or false sabbath, will be punished for their
disobedience.
This is not the gospel of grace as taught by Christianity,
which is a self-centered grace. In their form of grace the Law was
done away leading to disorder. In every church, grace is different,
depending on the fictional interpretation of the pastor. True grace
only comes as being part of the Kingdom. That is the story of
Capricornus. It is the story of the atoning goat given by the high
priest of Israel. Out of the death of the goat, which is our savior,
comes life to the body. This sacrifice can only be given by the High
Priest of Israel in accordance with the Law/Torah. Those who reject
the Law will be condemned by it, while those who embrace it will
132
be saved by the statute that provides for forgiveness of sin through
the sacrifice and atonement offered by our High Priest.
Rev 14:14-20 And I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and sitting
on the cloud was one like a son of man, having a golden crown on
His head, and a sharp sickle in His hand. (15) And another angel
came out of the temple, crying out with a loud voice to Him who
sat on the cloud, "Put in your sickle and reap, because the hour to
reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe." (16) And
He who sat on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth; and the
earth was reaped. (17) And another angel came out of the temple
which is in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle. (18) And
another angel, the one who has power over fire, came out from
the altar; and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp
sickle, saying, "Put in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters
from the vine of the earth, because her grapes are ripe." (19) And
the angel swung his sickle to the earth, and gathered the clusters
from the vine of the earth, and threw them into the great wine
press of the wrath of God. (20) And the wine press was trodden
outside the city, and blood came out from the wine press, up to
the horses' bridles, for a distance of two hundred miles.
The cloud is the place where the Throne of GOD is located.
Moses went up into this cloud during the wedding supper of
Moses. Elijah went up into this cloud when he was taken up by the
chariot of fire. Yeshua went up into this cloud when He was
ascended. From this cloud, judgment is being rendered.
The gospel has been available and the peoples of the world
have chosen whom they will follow. All have now been weighed in
the balance. There is now a clear distinction between the wheat
and the tares, the good grapes and the sour grapes. The reapers
will soon begin to swing their sickles to pull out the tares and the
sour grapes where they will be burnt in the fire of GOD’s wrath.
Notice that the ones being gathered are going to the winepress of
133
the wrath of GOD. This begins the judgement and the punishment
of the beast.
This first phase of GOD’s judgement will most likely be in
the form of a war against Israel as YAH begins to reap the tares.
This apparently will be a very intense war creating much
bloodshed.
I am sure that the horrors of this war will leave the world in
shock creating an atmosphere where peace is of the essence. A
result of this will be the development and the signing of a seven-
year peace agreement with Israel. The text does not indicate this
but the time frame does. Daniel told us there would be a seven-
year peace agreement with Israel. Remember this in Daniel 9:27:
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.
As you can see, the peace treaty is signed and then three
and a half years later it will be broken. The breaking of the peace
treaty is what triggers the bowls of wrath to be poured out on the
beast empire. We are able to identify the time frame for the bowls
to happen so we are able to determine that this is the time for the
treaty to be signed.
Remember the last days this peace treaty would be made
with his people, the House of Judah. The prince that is to come, or
the one who is to replace the true Messiah, would make this treaty
with the Jews. We determined that this prince came from the
Roman Empire. We also determined that the Roman Empire now
controls the world through the U.N. Since the beast is primarily
134
headed by the Christian nations, this means that the seven-year
treaty made by the Beast is, for the most part, a treaty between
Israel and apostate Christianity. So essentially, Israel will make a
seven-year covenant with Christianity that will allow Israel to set
up a Temple, or a Tabernacle, and resume the sacrifice of animals.
In three and one half years, we will come to the time of
Aquarius, the covenant will be broken, and the false messiah, who
could be Satan in the flesh, will defile the Temple. This act of
desecration will trigger the bowls of wrath to be poured out on the
beast empire and the great harlot.
Rev 15 Another Sign in Heaven (Capricornus: Nov 2020 –
April 2021)
Capricorn is depicted by a half goat half fish. The Decans
are:
“Sagitta” (arrow) The arrow of slaying
135
“Aquila” (eagle) The falling eagle
“Delphinus” (Dolphin) The pouring out of his soul unto
death.
In Latin, Capricorn means, “atonement.” The constellation
formation depicting a goat with a drooping head and leg bent
under its body represents the falling and dying of Yeshua Messiah
bowing to his sacrificial atoning death. Out of this death and
resurrection, comes the formation of His body depicted as a fish,
His body, the body of Messiah.
The images of a half goat and half fish are not coincidences.
The High Priests used goats as sacrificial animals for sin offerings,
(Lev. 9:15, 16, 17, 31) in particular on the Day of Atonement. The
goat was “to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make
atonement for them before the Lord” (Lev. 10:16, 17). God’s saved
people in prophecy are spoken of as fishes. Fish are the symbol of
believers (Jer. 16:15, 16; Ez. 47:1-9). In the First Century,
the ichthus (ˈɪkθəs) became the symbol for Christianity and early
Christians were publicly referred to as Ichthus and Pisces. From
Yeshua’s promise to his disciples, “I will make you fishers of men,”
through salvation, and the testifying waters of baptism, the
multitude of fishes or the Church sprang forth. In the Gospel of
Matthew, the fish is used as a symbol for the kingdom of heaven
(Matt. 4:19, 13:47-50). In this way the Church, or congregation of
saints, rises out of the death of Messiah, sacrificed for the sins of
the world.
Rev 15:1-8 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and
marvelous, seven angels who had seven plagues, which are the
last, because in them the wrath of God is finished.
The sign that John was seeing is the conjunction of Tzedek
and Saturn. This conjunction takes place in late December of 2020.
This signifies the King coming for His Bride. In ancient times, Saturn
was known as the reaper and was normally depicted as having a
136
sickle. Saturn and Tzedek come into conjunction during this time
frame, which could indicate that King Yeshua will take some of His
people. I have never been a proponent of the rapture because
scripture teaches about the greater exodus. Also, as I explained
earlier, the rapture or snatching away is Yeshua snatching away the
ungodly to be burned in the fire. However, a recent discovery leads
me to believe that one group of people will be taken at this time.
We will not call it a rapture but ascension. They will ascend the way
that Elijah did and the way that Yeshua did.
The reason it is only a partial harvest is because it will only
be the church of Philadelphia. Remember when Yeshua sent letters
to the seven churches in Asia only two of the churches were not
rebuked. These were Smyrna and Philadelphia. The lights in the
other five churches eventually went out and they became apostate,
embracing pagan festivals instead of YEHOVAH’s Sabbaths. Of the
two churches that were not rebuked, the church of Philadelphia
was given the promise that they would not go through the hour of
testing. We see this in Rev 3:10 “Because you have kept the word
of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing,
that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test
those who dwell upon the earth.” What this means is that the
church of Philadelphia will ascend at this time.
On the other hand, Smyrna was told that they would go
through the tribulation. Rev 2:10, “Do not fear what you are about
to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison,
that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be
faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” As you can
see, we are told that we will go through the tribulation. Ten is the
number of the beast empire, so what Yeshua is saying is that we
will go through the tribulation with the beast, but when it is over,
we will be crowned with life, while the beast is put to death.
We can identify the church of Philadelphia as being the
Messianic Jews because of what the letter to them said in
Rev 3: 7-9:
137
"And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: He
who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who
opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one
opens, says this: (8) 'I know your deeds. Behold, I have put
before you an open door, which no one can shut, because
you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have
not denied My name. (9) 'Behold, I will cause those of the
synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews, and are
not, but lie--behold, I will make them to come and bow down
at your feet, and to know that I have loved you.”
In this passage, “the key of David” is one clue. Remember that when
Jacob gave the blessings to his sons he gave the kingship to Judah.
This kingship was fulfilled though David who is the progenitor of
the Messiah who will soon fill the Throne of David. David was from
the tribe of Judah. The next clue is where is says, “Behold, I will
cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews,
and are not, but lie--behold, I will make them to come and bow
down at your feet, and to know that I have loved you.” This harkens
back to the religious Jews who would not accept the Messiah, but
instead wanted to hang on to their traditions. They were the largest
persecutors of the Messianic Jews.
Remember, YEHOVAH did not divorce the House of Judah.
Because they were not divorced, the covenants of the
Commonwealth of Israel are still intact for the Jews. Those Jews
who have accepted Yeshua as their sacrifice are able to go to be
with GOD in heaven. They do not need to redo their wedding vows
with YEHOVAH.
On the other hand, the House of Israel was divorced by
YEHOVAH. Because the House of Israel was divorced from
YEHOVAH, they returned to being gentiles. This constitutes the
church of Smyrna. Smyrna is the gentiles, who will have to renew
their wedding vows before they can enter into the Commonwealth
138
and be part of the Nation of Israel. This will not happen until the
end of the tribulation. At that time, there will be a greater exodus
where we will all be gathered for the wedding supper of the Lamb.
We will see the church of Philadelphia again because in Rev
19:14 they are the armies in heaven who are returning with Yeshua
after going out to conquer the beast and the great harlot. “And the
armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean
were following Him on white horses.”
(2) And I saw, as it were, a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those
who had come off victorious from the beast and from his image
and from the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass,
holding harps of God. (3) And they sang the song of Moses the
bond-servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and
marvelous are Thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous
and true are Thy ways, Thou King of the nations. (4) "Who will
not fear, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? For Thou alone art holy;
For ALL THE NATIONS WILL COME AND WORSHIP BEFORE THEE,
FOR THY RIGHTEOUS ACTS HAVE BEEN REVEALED."
139
The laver in Solomon’s Temple was known as the “sea of
glass.” This is the place of final preparation before entering the
Holy place.
As one enters the Temple complex on their way to the Holy
Place to be with our Father YEHOVAH, the first thing one sees is the
altar of burnt offerings. If one has an offering then one is allowed
to proceed to the next station, which is the laver or sea of glass.
Those of us who have overcome the beast and have not taken his
mark are waiting at this station so that when the time comes we
can enter the Holy place. After this, we will rule the nations.
(5) After these things I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle
of testimony in heaven was opened, (6) and the seven angels
who had the seven plagues came out of the temple, clothed in
linen, clean and bright, and girded around their breasts with
golden girdles. (7) And one of the four living creatures gave to
the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who
lives forever and ever.
The activity in heaven is the seven angels preparing for what
is about to happen on the earth. These seven angels represent the
true Church and they have their priestly garments on, so they are
going to work in their official capacity as High Priests of Israel. The
Tabernacle of the Testimony is the same thing as the Ark of the
Testimony or the Ark of the Covenant. These Priests are most likely
the church of Philadelphia who are being trained and equipped for
the battles to come. They are going to retrieve the curses that are
written in the Torah, the Testimony of YEHOVAH, and they are
preparing to pour these curses out on the earth as the bowls of
wrath.
140
(8) And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God
and from His power; and no one was able to enter the temple until
the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.
The church of Philadelphia will not be able to enter into the
Holy place until the gentile harvest comes to join them. This will
happen at the end of the tribulation. At that time, we will all enter
the Holy Place together.
141
Rev 16: 1-12, Pouring Out the Spirit/Wrath (Aquarius: April 2021 – April 2022)
(The Third Woe)
(Breaking of the Seven-Year Covenant)
Tzedek will now be moving through Aquarius. Aquarius is
the sixth sign on the path of the righteous star.
The decans are:
“Southern Fish” (Southern Realm) the church drinking the
water of life;
“Pegasus” (The winged horse) going to return again; and
“Cygnus” (The swan) the bird of passage who goes and
comes again.
Aquarius is a picture of Yeshua pouring out His water on all flesh.
This will fulfill Joel 2:28-32:
142
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour
out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams,
your young men shall see visions: (29) And also upon the
servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour
out my spirit. (30) And I will shew wonders in the heavens
and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of
smoke. (31) The sun (sun god worship, Christianity) shall
be turned into darkness, and the moon (moon god, Islam)
into blood, before the great and the terrible day of
YEHOVAH come. (32) And it shall come to pass, that
whosoever shall call on the name of YEHOVAH shall be
delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be
deliverance, as YEHOVAH hath said, and in the remnant
whom YEHOVAH shall call.
The thing that triggers the outpouring will be the breaking
of the seven-year peace treaty. The antichrist will enter the Temple
and declare that he is god. He will most likely claim that he is the
messiah returned to rule over his people.
This will be the beginning of the “three and one-half years,”
when the mystery of GOD is revealed. This period is sometimes
called 1260 days, sometimes times time and half a time, and
sometimes forty-two months. All of these scriptures point to this
event. This is the final showdown between good and evil, between
Yeshua and Satan. When it is over the Kingdom of GOD will reign,
replacing the Beast Empire as the ruling power on the earth.
The spirit or waters in this bowls contain the blessings and
the curses stated in the Torah, blessings for those who keep the
commandments of YEHOVAH, and curses for those who do not
keep the commandments.
The first six bowls are poured out.
143
Rev 16:1-16 And I heard a loud voice from the temple, saying to
the seven angels, "Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath
of God into the earth." (2) And the first angel went and poured
out his bowl into the earth (the false church); and it became a
loathsome and malignant sore upon the men who had the mark
of the beast and who worshiped his image. (3) And the second
angel poured out his bowl into the sea (the beast empire), and it
became blood like that of a dead man; and every living thing in
the sea died. (4) And the third angel poured out his bowl into the
rivers and the springs of waters (false religions); and they became
blood. (5) And I heard the angel of the waters saying, "Righteous
art Thou, who art and who wast, O Holy One, because Thou didst
judge these things; (6) for they poured out the blood of saints
and prophets, and Thou hast given them blood to drink. They
deserve it." (7) And I heard the altar saying, "Yes, O Lord God,
the Almighty, true and righteous are Thy judgments." (8) And the
fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun (sun god worship);
and it was given to it to scorch men with fire. (9) And men were
scorched with fierce heat; and they blasphemed the name of God
who has the power over these plagues; and they did not repent,
so as to give Him glory. (10) And the fifth angel poured out his
bowl upon the throne of the beast (Satan’s throne); and his
kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues
because of pain, (11) and they blasphemed the God of heaven
because of their pains and their sores; and they did not repent of
their deeds. (12) And the sixth angel poured out his bowl upon
the great river, the Euphrates (the starting point for sun god cult
where Nimrod pulled the rebellion of old out of the abyss); and its
water was dried up, that the way might be prepared for the kings
from the east.
The people still will not repent so YAH will bring them to the valley
of Megiddo for one last chance.
144
Rev 17 - Armageddon (Pisces: April 2022 – June 2023)
The constellation Pieces is a picture of two fish. One is
moving toward the pole star and the other is following the path of
the sun. These two fish are bound by a tether that is tied around
their tails and the tether is tied to the head of Cetus the Sea
monster. Aries the ram has his hoof across the tether holding the
fish that are struggling to go free. The meaning of Pieces is: Slave
of religion or servant of GOD, multiplication of the redeemer’s
people, uphold and governed by the lamb, the intended bride
bound and exposed, and the bridegroom being exalted.
145
The decans are:
(The Band), Uniting the church before and after the first
coming of the Lord;
“Cepheus” (The branch), crowned King; and
“Andromeda” (The Church), released by the Deliverer, who
breaks the bonds of death multiplying the Redeemer’s
people.
The Church has been divided by those who wish to follow
YEHOVAH and desire to keep His commandment and those who
would rather follow their own desires. This is represented by the
two fish. One is struggling to make it to the pole star because that
is the location of GOD’s Throne. The other fish represents the
apostate Church following the traditions of men according to their
own lusts. They are following the path of the sun, the path of the
sun god cult.
Those who are struggling to worship the true and living God
will have the tether broken releasing them from the terrible sea
monster as Yeshua pours out His wrath on the monster along with
His apostate church, the beast of the sea and the beast of the earth.
Rev :13-16 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and
out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false
prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; (14) for they are spirits
of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the
whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day
of God, the Almighty. (15) ("Behold, I am coming like a thief.
Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his garments, lest
he walk about naked and men see his shame.") (16) And they
gathered them together to the place which in Hebrew is called
Armageddon.
146
The “three unclean spirits like frogs” are the false gospel of
the high priests of Satan who are going to try their luck against
YEHOVAH once again. They will do signs and wonders, but once
again, they will be no match for the Almighty.
Armageddon is a compound word consisting of the word
“arm,” which in Hebrew means, “to gather,” and “Megiddo,” which
is referring to the valley of Megiddo. So YEHOVAH is going to gather
all the armies of the world together for a great battle.
Off to the side of the valley of Megiddo is a mountain. This
is what is known as the mountain of Megiddo and on this mountain
is a place called Carmel. Carmel is the place where the battle
between Elijah and the wicked Queen Jezebel took place. In this
battle YEHOVAH had Elijah set His power against the power of the
wicked god Baal. We all know the outcome of this when the fire of
GOD came down and consumed the offering of the lamb before the
people. This turned the hearts of the people back to GOD and they
turned and slaughtered Jezebel and the wicked priests. Some may
turn at this final battle, but those who do not will have destruction
coming.
147
Rev 16: 17-21-Seventh Bowl of Wrath (Aries: June 2023 –
April 2024)
Aries the Lamb is looking backwards towards the
consummation of what He has done. In Hebrew the lambs name is
Taleh, “The Lamb Sent Forth.” In Aries we find the message that the
Lamb is found worthy, the Bride is set free, Satan is bound, the
Breaker triumphs.
The decans are:
“Cassiopeia” (A woman enthroned), the church set free,
raised, enthroned;
“Cetus” (Sea monster) bound by the lamb;
“Perseus” (Armed and mighty men), the Deliverer,
breaking the bonds of the afflicted church.
The story of Aries is told by the decan constellations. This is
the story of Perseus the breaker (Yeshua) who comes swiftly to
rescue the beautiful woman Cassiopeia (the true Church). The
captive woman is delivered from Cetus the sea monster (the beast
148
empire) who is then bound. After binding the monster, Perseus
enthrones this faithful one, who has come out of Babylon and made
herself ready.
The story of Aries is seen in Revelations 16: 17-21, as the
final bowl is poured out on the sea monster, the beast of the sea,
freeing the true Church from its bondage.
Rev 16:17-21 And the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the
air; and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne,
saying, "It is done." (18) And there were flashes of lightning and
sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake,
such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth,
so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. (19) And the great
city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell.
And Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her
the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath. (20) And every island fled
away, and the mountains were not found. (21) And huge
hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, came down from
heaven upon men; and men blasphemed God because of the
plague of the hail, because its plague was extremely severe.
The earthquake signifies the beast empire being rent
asunder. The armies of the beast empire are destroyed. Now YAH
will turn His attention to the remaining parts of the beast’s society.
149
Rev 19 – Judgment of the Great Harlot (Taurus: April 2024
– April 2025)
Tzedek will now be entering the constellation of Taurus.
Taurus means, “His glorious coming is eminent.” Taurus is a picture
of a bull, or in earlier cultures, it was an ox. The Hebrew word for
bull or ox is “shur” which also means “to return” or “to come back”.
150
The decans are:
Orion (Glorious prince), The coming of Him mighty to save
Eridanus (Orion’s River), the river, converted nations under
the type of water.
Auriga (The good shepherd and his redeemed flock).
The brightest star is Aldebaran, which means “the
follower”. There are two distinct star groups in Taurus: the Hyades
and the Pleiades. Hyades means “congregated” while Pleiades
comes from the Hebrew for “gathering” and the Greek “Pleistos”
or “Pleion” which means “The many”, “the excellent” or “the
great”. Ancient Greeks called them "the clusterers." The Bible
sometimes refers to the Pleiades as the "seven stars" and
sometimes to "Pleiades." They are mentioned in Job 9:9, 38:31-32,
Amos 5:8, Rev.1:16, 20.
In Job, it is the Pleiades, but in Revelation, Messiah is
holding the seven stars in His hand, representing the seven
churches. Since the Hebrew word for the Pleiades comes from the
root meaning "gathering," the meaning was inescapable for the
early church, seven gatherings or seven churches. In the heavens
Pleiades the Church, is riding on the back of the bull. When you see
Pleiades with the naked eye, it looks like seven stares, but when
you look at it through a telescope, it looks like an innumerable
multitude of stars.
The gospel message of Taurus is about the Faithfull Bride
riding on the back of Messiah, whereas, the corresponding
passages in in Revelations is dealing the great harlot riding the
beast.
Rev 17:1-18 And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls
came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here, I shall show you the
judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, (2) with
whom the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and
151
those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of
her immorality."
I have explained who the harlot is in the chapter about
Scorpio. The harlot is the beast of the earth, with Christianity at the
forefront, and it includes all of the other false religions.
(3) And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I
saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous
names, having seven heads and ten horns.
In the time of Constantine, the beast made a pact with the
bride saying, “worship me and I will give you a free ride.” The harlot
has been riding the beast ever since.
(4) And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and
adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her
hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of
her immorality, (5) and upon her forehead a name was written,
a mystery, "BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." (6) And I saw the
woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of
the witnesses of Yeshua. And when I saw her, I wondered greatly.
(7) And the angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I shall tell you
the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which
has the seven heads and the ten horns.
This harlot is all of the false religions of the earth, primarily
Christianity the leader of the cabal. I have documented the harlot’s
murders in previous chapters.
152
(8) "The beast that you saw was and is not, and is about to come
up out of the abyss and to go to destruction. And those who dwell
on the earth will wonder, whose name has not been written in the
book of life from the foundation of the world, when they see the
beast, that he was and is not and will come. (9) "Here is the mind
which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on
which the woman sits, (10) and they are seven kings; five have
fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he
must remain a little while. (11) "And the beast which was and is
not, is himself also an eighth, and is one of the seven, and he goes
to destruction. (12) "And the ten horns which you saw are ten
kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive
authority as kings with the beast for one hour. (13) "These have
one purpose and they give their power and authority to the beast
I do not fully understand this because these nations
probably do not exist in the form that they will during the hectic
time of the tribulation. It appears that the anti-Christ is going to
make a final coalition in a final desperate attempt to win the war
against YEHOVAH. I will identify the actors here:
"The beast that you saw was and is not, and is about to
come up out of the abyss and to go to destruction (Satan)
The seven heads are seven mountains on which the
woman sits, (the false religions)
"And the beast which was and is not, is himself also an
eighth, and is one of the seven, and he goes to
destruction. (Christianity)
"And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, who
have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive
authority as kings with the beast for one hour. (13)
"These have one purpose and they give their power and
authority to the beast. (The beast’s armies were
destroyed in the last chapter by the seven bowls, so this
could be an attempt by Satan and the harlot to raise new
153
kings and armies to continue their war against the
Almighty.)
. (14) "These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb
(Taurus) will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King
of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen
and faithful." (15) And he said to me, "The waters which you saw
where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and
tongues. (the decan “Eridanus” Orion’s River) (16) "And the ten
horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the harlot and
will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will
burn her up with fire. (17) "For God has put it in their hearts to
execute His purpose by having a common purpose, and by giving
their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be
fulfilled. (18) "And the woman whom you saw is the great city,
which reigns over the kings of the earth." (Rome or the Vatican)
154
Rev 18 –Babylon Fallen, Resurrection of the Saint (Gemini:
April 2025 – June 2026)
At this time, the star that we have been following through
the heavenly gospel will enter into Gemini. The meaning of Gemini
is, “His union with His Bride.” This speaks of Yeshua’s fellowship
with His people, as they get ready to enter into their Eternal
Kingdom.
The decans are:
Lepus (Serpent) The enemy under his feet.
Sirius (Canus Major - Dog) He that comes as the Prince
155
Procyon (Canus Minor – 2nd dog) He that comes as the
redeemer
The picture of Gemini is of two twin boys setting together
in repose. These two twins represent the House of Judah and the
House of Israel. These two brothers are being reunited in Yeshua
Messiah where they will once again form the twelve tribes of Israel.
At the present, there is only one tribe of Israel left, the tribe
of Judah, or the House of Judah. However, YAH has promised that
He would bring the House of Israel back into the land to join the
House of Judah so that there will again be twelve tribes. All of these
people will be the eleven tribes going back to Israel to join their
brother the tribe of Judah. These will be peoples from all tribes and
nations.
This was YEHOVAH’s plan from the beginning of Israel. He
intended to use Israel to save all the faithful from all of the nations
of the earth. He intended for Israel to be His Kings and Priests to
show the world the blessing that would come out keeping the Law
of GOD and entice the faithful to join them. Since Israel was
rebellious, YAH had to do something different, so He divorced the
house of Israel and scattered them through the nations, therefore
scattering the seed of promise to all nations. By doing this, He
created one ethnic group, which the New Testament calls the
gentiles. Now out of the gentile nation YEHOVAH will call His People
out to join Him and recreate the House of Israel.
We see this very plainly in the prophecy about the dry
bones in Ezekiel. Notice that it is the House of Israel being
resurrected. The reason the emphasis is placed on the House of
Israel being resurrected is because YEHOVAH divorced the House
of Israel, therefore it was no longer part of the Commonwealth of
Israel and had no part of the covenants and promises thereof.
Through the Blood of Yeshua, the House of Israel can now be
grafted back into the commonwealth.
156
Eze 37:1-14 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and He
brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me down
in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones. (2) And
He caused me to pass among them round about, and
behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley;
and lo, they were very dry. (3) And He said to me, "Son of
man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "O Lord GOD,
Thou knowest." (4) Again He said to me, "Prophesy over
these bones, and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word
of the LORD.' (5) "Thus says YEHOVAH GOD to these bones,
'Behold, I will cause breath to enter you that you may come
to life. (6) 'And I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow
back on you, cover you with skin, and put breath in you that
you may come alive; and you will know that I am
YEHOVAH.'" (7) So I prophesied as I was commanded; and
as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling;
and the bones came together, bone to its bone. (8) And I
looked, and behold, sinews were on them, and flesh grew,
and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them. (9)
Then He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son
of man, and say to the breath, 'Thus YEHOVAH GOD, "Come
from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain,
that they come to life."'" (10) So I prophesied as He
commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they
came to life, and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great
army. (11) Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones
are the whole house of Israel; behold, they say, 'Our bones
are dried up, and our hope has perished. We are completely
cut off.' (12) "Therefore prophesy, and say to them, 'Thus
says YEHOVAH GOD, "Behold, I will open your graves and
cause you to come up out of your graves, My people; and I
will bring you into the land of Israel. (13) "Then you will
know that I am YEHOVAH, when I have opened your graves
and caused you to come up out of your graves, My people.
(14) "And I will put My Spirit within you, and you will come
157
to life, and I will place you on your own land. Then you will
know that I, YEHOVAH, have spoken and done it," declares
YEHOVAH'"
Now in this next part, notice that the House of Israel will be
reunited with the House of Judah.
Eze 37:15-28 The word of the LORD came again to me
saying, (16) "And you, son of man, take for yourself one
stick and write on it, 'For Judah and for the sons of Israel, his
companions'; then take another stick and write on it, 'For
Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his
companions.' (17) "Then join them for yourself one to
another into one stick, that they may become one in your
hand. (18) "And when the sons of your people speak to you
saying, 'Will you not declare to us what you mean by these?'
(19) say to them, 'Thus says YEHOVAH GOD, "Behold, I will
take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and
the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will put them with
it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and
they will be one in My hand."' (20) "And the sticks on which
you write will be in your hand before their eyes. (21) "And
say to them, 'Thus says YEHOVAH GOD, "Behold, I will take
the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have
gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them
into their own land; (22) and I will make them one nation
in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be
king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations,
and they will no longer be divided into two kingdoms. (23)
"And they will no longer defile themselves with their idols,
or with their detestable things, or with any of their
transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling
places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. And
they will be My people, and I will be their God. (24) "And
158
My servant David will be king over them, and they will all
have one shepherd; and they will walk in My ordinances,
and keep My statutes, and observe them. (25) "And they
shall live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, in
which your fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and
their sons, and their sons' sons, forever; and David My
servant shall be their prince forever. (26) "And I will make
a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting
covenant with them. And I will place them and multiply
them, and will set My sanctuary in their midst forever. (27)
"My dwelling place also will be with them; and I will be their
God, and they will be My people. (28) "And the nations will
know that I am YEHOVAH who sanctifies Israel, when My
sanctuary is in their midst forever."'"
We will not only be resurrected, but we will also be given
our incorruptible bodies as explained by the Apostle Paul:
1Co 15:50-58 Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable
inherit the imperishable. (51) Behold, I tell you a mystery;
we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, (52) in a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for
the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised
imperishable, and we shall be changed. (53) For this
perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal
must put on immortality. (54) But when this perishable will
have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put
on immortality, then will come about the saying that is
written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. (55) "O
DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS
YOUR STING?"
159
At the same time that this new city is being raised up, our
corresponding verses in Revelations is about the destruction of the
“the great city,” also known as “Mystery Babylon.” Yeshua is raising
up a righteous city while at the same time tearing down an
unrighteous city.
Rev 18:1-24 After these things I saw another angel coming down
from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illumined
with his glory. (2) And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying,
"Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! And she has become a
dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and
a prison of every unclean and hateful bird. (3) "For all the nations
have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the
kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her,
and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth
of her sensuality." (4) And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you may not participate
in her sins and that you may not receive of her plagues; (5) for her
sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered
her iniquities. (6) "Pay her back even as she has paid, and give
back to her double according to her deeds; in the cup which she
has mixed, mix twice as much for her. (7) "To the degree that she
glorified herself and lived sensuously, to the same degree give her
torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, 'I SIT as A QUEEN
AND I AM NOT A WIDOW, and will never see mourning.' (8) "For
this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and
mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the
Lord God who judges her is strong. (9) "And the kings of the earth,
who committed acts of immorality and lived sensuously with her,
will weep and lament over her when they see the smoke of her
burning, (10) standing at a distance because of the fear of her
torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong
city! For in one hour your judgment has come.' (11) "And the
merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one
160
buys their cargoes any more; (12) cargoes of gold and silver and
precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and
scarlet, and every kind of citron wood and every article of ivory
and every article made from very costly wood and bronze and iron
and marble, (13) and cinnamon and spice and incense and
perfume and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour
and wheat and cattle and sheep, and cargoes of horses and
chariots and slaves and human lives. (14) "And the fruit you long
for has gone from you, and all things that were luxurious and
splendid have passed away from you and men will no longer find
them. (15) "The merchants of these things, who became rich from
her, will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment,
weeping and mourning, (16) saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city,
she who was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and
adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls; (17) for in one
hour such great wealth has been laid waste!' And every
shipmaster and every passenger and sailor, and as many as make
their living by the sea, stood at a distance, (18) and were crying
out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What city is
like the great city?' (19) "And they threw dust on their heads and
were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe, the
great city, in which all who had ships at sea became rich by her
wealth, for in one hour she has been laid waste!'
The final destruction of the harlot takes place and then the
heavens will begin to rejoice.
(20) "Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and
prophets, because God has pronounced judgment for you against
her." (21) And a strong angel took up a stone like a great
millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "Thus will Babylon, the
great city, be thrown down with violence, and will not be found
any longer. (22) "And the sound of harpists and musicians and
flute-players and trumpeters will not be heard in you any longer;
and no craftsman of any craft will be found in you any longer; and
161
the sound of a mill will not be heard in you any longer; (23) and
the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the voice
of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer;
for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all
the nations were deceived by your sorcery. (24) "And in her was
found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all who have
been slain on the earth
162
Rev 21 The Greater Exodus, the Bride Makes Herself
Ready
(Cancer: June 2026 – April 2027)
The meaning of the constellation Cancer is, “His Possessions
Held Secure.” It assures us of GOD’s fulfillment of His promise that
He will have a great Kingdom filled with a multitude of people from
every race, tribe and nation.
In ancient cultures the various names for the crab, all had
the meaning of, “the resting place.” In the midst of Cancer is a
nebulous cluster named Praesepe meaning, “The Multitude,” “The
Offspring,” and “The Innumerable Seed.”
The decans are:
Ursa minor (Lesser sheep fold). The Church before the first
coming of Christ
Ursa major (Greater sheep fold). The church after the first
coming of Christ
163
Argo (Shepherd) The company of travelers to the heavenly
Canaan.
The apostate church is waiting for a rapture, but as I
explained, the rapture is for the wicked who will be snatched away
to be burned in the fire of GOD’s wrath, and the faithful will inherit
the earth. We now know there is only a partial taking away of the
true Church and then the greater exodus that will make the exodus
out of Egypt pale in comparison:
The Greater Exodus
(Jer 16:14-17) "Therefore behold, days are coming,"
declares YEHOVAH, "when it will no longer be said, 'As
YEHOVAH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the
land of Egypt,' but, 'As YEHOVAH lives, who brought up the
sons of Israel from the land of the north and from all the
countries where He had banished them.' For I will restore
them to their own land which I gave to their fathers.
"Behold, I am going to send for many fishermen," declares
YEHOVAH, "and they will fish for them; and afterwards I will
send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every
mountain and every hill and from the clefts of the rocks. "For
My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My
face, nor is their iniquity concealed from My eyes.”
In the last chapter, we saw that YEHOVAH called His people
out of the nations of the world where they have been dispersed.
We also saw the resurrection and the transformation of our bodies.
Now we will make their way to Mt. Sinai to renew our wedding
vows to YEHOVAH. This will be a massive exodus, which will cause
the exodus out of Egypt to pale in comparison.
The prophet Isaiah gives another picture of the coming
exodus:
164
(Isa 11:11-16) Then it will happen on that day that YEHOVAH will again recover the second time with His hand the remnant of His people, who will remain, From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, And from the islands of the sea. And He will lift up a standard for the nations and assemble the banished ones of Israel, and will gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart, and those who harass Judah will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, And Judah will not harass Ephraim. They will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the west; together they will plunder the sons of the east; they will possess Edom and Moab, and the sons of Ammon will be subject to them. And YEHOVAH will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt; and He will wave His hand over the River with His scorching wind; And He will strike it into seven streams and make men walk over dry-shod. And there will be a highway from Assyria For the remnant of His people who will be left, just as there was for Israel In the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.
Through Isaiah, YEHOVAH tells us that He will once again
gather His people, the banished ones of Israel and dispersed of
Judah, from the four corners of the earth. These are the House of
Israel and the House of Judah, which have been scattered
throughout the earth. Some of the Jews will be saved after the
church of Philadelphia is taken away. Ephraim is what YEHOVAH
called the House of Israel after He banished them. The House of
Israel ceased to be a nation so YEHOVAH began referring to the
scattered as Ephraim. This is because Ephraim was given the
birthright over the sons of Jacob/Israel.
There will be two paths for the remnant to take as they
make their way to the wilderness to be with YEHOVAH. One will be
up through the sea of Egypt, which is the Red Sea, and the other
will be down a highway coming from Assyria. Like in the days when
165
YEHOVAH brought His people out of Egypt the remnant will go
through a body of water. For those coming up from Egypt they will
go through the Red Sea and for those coming down from Assyria
they will go through the Euphrates River. This is the baptism of the
Saints as they make their way to the wedding supper of the Lamb.
Our corresponding text in Revelations is about the
celebration over the bondservant, those who fear GOD, and the
multitude who are saved out of the tribulation:
Rev 19:1-10 After these things I heard, as it were, a loud
voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God; (2) BECAUSE
HIS JUDGMENTS ARE TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS; for He has judged
the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her
immorality, and HE HAS AVENGED THE BLOOD OF HIS BOND-
SERVANTS ON HER." (3) And a second time they said, "Hallelujah!
HER SMOKE RISES UP FOREVER AND EVER." (4) And the twenty-
four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped
God who sits on the throne saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!" (5) And a
voice came from the throne, saying, "Give praise to our God, all
you His bond-servants, you who fear Him, the small and the
great." (6) And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude
and as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty peals
of thunder, saying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the
Almighty, reigns.
The bondservants are those who are saved and freed from
their captivity to the Babylonian system. The Babylonian system is
one of sin and death where there is no path to salvation and to
GOD. Yeshua will set us free from this corrupt system and give us a
rebirth. Now freed we will make our way to Mt. Sinai, just as the
tribes did when they came out of Egypt. Once at Mt. Sinai the
166
people will make themselves ready for the wedding supper of the
Lamb:
(7) "Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him,
for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made
herself ready." (8) And it was given to her to clothe herself in fine
linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of
the saints. (9) And he said to me, "Write, 'Blessed are those who
are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.'" And he said to
me, "These are true words of God." (10) And I fell at his feet to
worship him. And he said to me, "Do not do that; I am a fellow
servant of yours and your brethren who hold the testimony of
Yeshua; worship God. For the testimony of Yeshua is the spirit of
prophecy."
Righteousness or right acts are considered those acts that
we do in accordance with the Law/Torah. Now that all have arrived
at the foot of the mountain of GOD, the bride will make herself
ready for the clouds of Glory to come down on the mountain. Read
the book of Exodus to get a picture of how these events will unfold.
(11) And I saw heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and
He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True; and in
righteousness He judges and wages war. (12) And His eyes are a
flame of fire, and upon His head are many diadems; and He has a
name written upon Him which no one knows except Himself. (13)
And He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood; and His name is
called The Word of God. (14) And the armies which are in heaven,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on
white horses. (15) And from His mouth comes a sharp sword, so
that with it He may smite the nations; and He will rule them with
a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of
167
God, the Almighty. (16) And on His robe and on His thigh He has
a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." (17) And
I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried out with a loud
voice, saying to all the birds which fly in midheaven, "Come,
assemble for the great supper of God; (18) in order that you may
eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh
of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on
them and the flesh of all men, both free men and slaves, and small
and great." (19) And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth
and their armies, assembled to make war against Him who sat
upon the horse, and against His army. (20) And the beast was
seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs
in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the
mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two
were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with
brimstone. (21) And the rest were killed with the sword which
came from the mouth of Him who sat upon the horse, and all the
birds were filled with their flesh.
This will be a repeat of how things happened on Sinai when
Moses brought Israel out of Egypt. They were gathered around
Mount Sanai and a cloud came down on the mountain with
lightning and thunder. During this event, only Moses was allowed
to enter into the cloud, which is the entrance to the Holy Place. The
difference this time will be that we will all be able to enter into the
cloud where the tables will be set for the wedding supper of the
Lamb.
Here again, the horse is a symbol of battle and war. Yeshua
clothing is dipped in blood because He is just returning from the
battlefield where He has been conquering the armies of the world
in order to set His Bride free. The blood is the blood of the enemy
that He has conquered. “His eyes are a flamed with fire” referring
to the passion from which He performs His duties as King of Kings.
The sharp sword is the word of GOD/Torah.
168
As the vultures feast on the carcasses of those conquered,
Yeshua and the Bride will partake of the “Wedding supper of the
Lamb.”
169
Rev 22 The Promised Land is Taken (Leo: April 2027 –
Eternity)
Leo means, “His Enemies Destroyed.” This prophetically
assures us that Yeshua Messiah shall be victorious over sin, the
world and Satan. It assures the establishment of His Kingdom on
earth, which brings forth the healing of the nations. As the Tzedek
moves into the constellation Leo, Yeshua and the Bride of Messiah
will move into the Promised Land and establish the Kingdom of the
Living GOD on the earth and peace will now reign. When YAH’s
Kingdom is established, Israel will begin the process of building the
nation of Israel and of healing the nations, eventually bringing the
entire earth under the rule of Yeshua.
The decans are:
Hydra (Serpent) - The serpent, the enemy
Crater - The cup of the wrath of God resting upon him.
170
Corvus (Raven or bird of doom) The bird of prey eating on
his flesh
Star Alphus (Coma) - The desired infant held by the woman:
seed
Dino bola (Centaur) - Messiah/King offering himself as
sacrifice John
Bootes (Danib Alisid) - Coming of branch as guardian of flock
Remember, in the chapter on the book of Daniel I explained
the 1290 and 1335 day prophecy. In that prophecy, the angel told
us that from the time the regular sacrifice is abolished until the
abomination is set up 1290 days or prophetic years would elapse.
Then he said that the abomination of desolation would be set up
and 1335 days or prophetic years would elapse. After this amount
of time, those looking for the Messiah will attain the Kingdom. That
put us at 2026, so after 2026 those of us who are called will attain
the Kingdom.
Another witness for the 2026 return of Yeshua
Most scholars believe that Yeshua will return on a Jubilee
year. The problem is that no one knows when the Jubilee is. There
is a lot of speculation of when it is, but no one really knows for sure.
The timing of the Jubilee was lost in posterity because ancient Israel
never kept it. I have read that Israel never kept even one of the
Sabbatical years, much less a Jubilee. One of the reasons for
Judah’s captivity to the Babylonians was to rest the land because
Israel was not keeping the seven year Sabbatical for the land or the
Jubilees.
We can determine when the next jubilee will be based on
Luke 4:16-19:
And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up;
and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the
Sabbath, and stood up to read. (17) And the book of the
171
prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the
book, and found the place where it was written, (18) "THE
SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED
ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT
ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND
RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE
WHO ARE DOWNTRODDEN, (19) TO PROCLAIM THE
FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD."
It is the last verse that gives a clue as to when the Jubilee
year is. Yeshua was proclaiming this a year of Jubilee. This was the
year He began His ministry, so the year He began His ministry was
a Jubilee.
We can determine what year that was and then come
forwards from there to determine when the next Jubilee will be. It
is pretty well agreed that Yeshua was born on 4BC. He was thirty
year old when He started His ministry. If we add thirty to 4BC,
remembering that there is no zero year, then we get 26AD.
Since the Jubilee is a fifty-year cycle, we can multiply fifty
times forty, which gives us two thousand. Now add two thousand
to the year 26AD and you get 2026AD. This is the next Jubilee and
it is when Yeshua will return to establish His Kingdom.
The book of Exodus tells us that forty days after the
wedding supper of Mosses, YEHOVAH was going to have Israel
enter the Land of Promise to begin the process of taking the Land
and purifying it. Israel being fearful would not go, so they had to
wait forty years before they would enter. This time forty days after
the Wedding Supper, we will go and take the Land of Israel,
consecrate it and begin the task of building YEHOVAH’s Kingdom.
Please enjoy reading the rest of the book of Revelations;
this is where I sign out. May YEHOVAH bless your journey!
Rev 20:1-15 And I saw an angel coming down from
heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
172
(2) And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the
devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, (3) and
threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so
that he should not deceive the nations any longer, until the
thousand years were completed; after these things he must be
released for a short time. (4) And I saw thrones, and they sat
upon them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls
of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of
Yeshua and because of the word of God, and those who had not
worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark
upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they came to life
and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (5) The rest of the
dead did not come to life until the thousand years were
completed. This is the first resurrection. (6) Blessed and holy is
the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the
second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of
Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years. (7) And when
the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his
prison, (8) and will come out to deceive the nations which are in
the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them
together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the
seashore. (9) And they came up on the broad plain of the earth
and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and
fire came down from heaven and devoured them. (10) And the
devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and
brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and
they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. (11) And
I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose
presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for
them. (12) And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing
before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was
opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from
the things which were written in the books, according to their
deeds. (13) And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and
death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they
173
were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. (14)
And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the
second death, the lake of fire. (15) And if anyone's name was not
found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of
fire.
Rev 21:1-27 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for
the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no
longer any sea. (2) And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride
adorned for her husband. (3) And I heard a loud voice from the
throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and
He shall dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God
Himself shall be among them, (4) and He shall wipe away every
tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there
shall no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things
have passed away." (5) And He who sits on the throne said,
"Behold, I am making all things new." And He said, "Write, for
these words are faithful and true." (6) And He said to me, "It is
done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.
I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of
life without cost. (7) "He who overcomes shall inherit these
things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. (8) "But for
the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and
immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their
part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which
is the second death." (9) And one of the seven angels who had
the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, came and spoke
with me, saying, "Come here, I shall show you the bride, the wife
of the Lamb." (10) And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great
and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God, (11) having the glory of
God. Her brilliance was like a very costly stone, as a stone of
crystal-clear jasper. (12) It had a great and high wall, with twelve
gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on
them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
174
(13) There were three gates on the east and three gates on the
north and three gates on the south and three gates on the west.
(14) And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and
on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the
Lamb. (15) And the one who spoke with me had a gold measuring
rod to measure the city, and its gates and its wall. (16) And the
city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width;
and he measured the city with the rod, fifteen hundred miles; its
length and width and height are equal. (17) And he measured its
wall, seventy-two yards, according to human measurements,
which are also angelic measurements. (18) And the material of
the wall was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
(19) The foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with
every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was
jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth,
emerald; (20) the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh,
chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth,
chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. (21)
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates
was a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like
transparent glass. (22) And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord
God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple. (23) And the
city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine upon it, for the
glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb. (24) And
the nations shall walk by its light, and the kings of the earth shall
bring their glory into it. (25) And in the daytime (for there shall
be no night there) its gates shall never be closed; (26) and they
shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it; (27) and
nothing unclean and no one who practices abomination and lying,
shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in
the Lamb's book of life.
Rev 22:1-21 And he showed me a river of the water of life,
clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb,
(2) in the middle of its street. And on either side of the river was
175
the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every
month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the
nations. (3) And there shall no longer be any curse; and the
throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His bond-servants
shall serve Him; (4) and they shall see His face, and His name
shall be on their foreheads. (5) And there shall no longer be any
night; and they shall not have need of the light of a lamp nor the
light of the sun, because the Lord God shall illumine them; and
they shall reign forever and ever. (6) And he said to me, "These
words are faithful and true"; and the Lord, the God of the spirits
of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the
things which must shortly take place. (7) "And behold, I am
coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the
prophecy of this book." (8) And I, John, am the one who heard
and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to
worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. (9)
And he *said to me, "Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours
and of your brethren the prophets and of those who heed the
words of this book; worship God." (10) And he *said to me, "Do
not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is
near. (11) "Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and let
the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is
righteous, still practice righteousness; and let the one who is holy,
still keep himself holy." (12) "Behold, I am coming quickly, and
My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what
he has done. (13) "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and
the last, the beginning and the end." (14) Blessed are those who
wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life,
and may enter by the gates into the city. (15) Outside are the
dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the
murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and
practices lying. (16) "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you
these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of
David, the bright morning star." (17) And the Spirit and the bride
say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the
176
one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of
life without cost. (18) I testify to everyone who hears the words
of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God shall
add to him the plagues which are written in this book; (19) and
if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy,
God shall take away his part from the tree of life and from the
holy city, which are written in this book. (20) He who testifies to
these things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly." Amen. Come, Lord
Jesus. (21) The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.
'Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. 'Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On
earth as it is in heaven. 'Give us this day our daily bread. 'And forgive us our debts, as we
also have forgiven our debtors. 'And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from
evil. [For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen!]'
