MY THOUGHTS CONCERNING MARTIAL LAW AND A TRUMP VICTORY COMING TO AMERICA BEFORE JANUARY 20TH, 2021

Escaping The Judgment of America Via Christ's Kingdom And His Spirit Within

I want to be optimistic that President Trump has some magic solution up his sleeve that will be implemented soon, my dear brothers and sisters. But the Bible says something completely different about the End Times than Trump supporters are saying right now concerning the near future in the USA, and make no mistake about it! These prophesied End Times are the times that we are in right now! So if there is Martial Law coming, I think that we should remain cognizant of the following facts before thinking anything good will come from it in the immediate future: 

According to the Word of God concerning the End Times just before Yahshua's return from Heaven, we will be surrounded by false teachers and false prophets, many false Christs will have appeared that can deceive even the elect, the majority of people will be ruthless, cruel, spiteful, and out of control criminals that can't be trusted, and the Church will have been infiltrated by wolves in sheep's clothing that are leading their congregations astray and deceiving them. Furthermore, no one that is awake can deny that all of these prophecies have already come true in spades. Here are the Scriptures that say this is the case:

Matthew 24:23-25 - “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.”

2 Timothy 3:1-5 - “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”

2 Peter 2:1-3 - “But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.”

Also according to the Bible, it appears that we are at the door of the Great Tribulation, the Rapture is about to occur, and the Antichrist or Man of Sin is about to be revealed. So you all are welcome to your dreams that - somehow at the last moment - Trump is going to restore the American Republic, and restore the Liberty and Freedom that Lucifer has robbed all of us of. But I am extremely skeptical that what many are saying is any semblance of the truth because of the scriptures below that appear to be ready for fulfillment at any moment:

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 - “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the ‘falling away’ (alternate translation: catching away, rapture) comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”

Revelation 13:4-8 - “So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” 5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”

If anything comes of the idea that we will somehow be given another 3 or 4 years to reverse the damage done to Liberty and Freedom in America, we might be looking at a civil war that will be far more devastating than the Civil War over slavery in the mid 1800's. Or we could be looking at an attack and invasion by foreign powers, or both simultaneously. The invasion and destruction of America has been a prevalent theme of many recent dreams and visions presented to the Church by ordinary saints that were bold, and shared what the Holy Spirit had shown them with the world. I have also had a vision of this coming destruction under God's Wrath, and it is going to be worldwide, and very swift:

YAHWEH GOD’S WRATH SENT FROM HEAVEN
TO EARTH TIED TO REVELATION 6 AND 8!
https://pillarofenoch.blogspot.com/2013/09/yahweh-gods-wrath-sent-from-heaven-to.html

As for blessings, many in this nation are too far gone into outright rebellion against God to be spared from Judgment and destruction. Although some factions in America that are left behind after the Rapture may escape what is to come, and form strong resistance groups fighting against the advance of the Antichrist, Yahshua will have to return before they will be victorious, or else they will very likely be annihilated.

I think we are being deceived on all sides with false prophecies, false opinions and false evidence, and I pray that you all would stop focusing on all this false information, and get yourselves right with God by reading the Word of God for yourself, repenting of sin, forgiving everybody, and seeking to love everyone through the Grace of God within you via the Holy Spirit. I also hope that you all would forsake this corrupt world system, and live to advance the Kingdom of God in Christ before it's too late, and you are left behind. 

In the meantime, as we await the coming of our Lord and Savior Yahshua and His army of warrior angels, which I believe is very close at hand, I pray that our Father God YHWH will bless and protect and preserve you all. I also ask that God will have mercy on those who have been deceived by the dark forces at work in America, and the world.

Maranatha! Yahshua is coming again soon! Are you ready? 

😇THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO BE SAVED!😇

Note About The Graphic Featured Here: I made this composite graphic in 2015, and I believe it is a prophetic composite showing what is happening in America right now. It shows the Capital Building under siege, patriots trying to raise the American flag amid destruction, and what we should be focusing on in Heaven (i.e. Yahshua and the Holy Spirit) instead of the destruction that will soon be coming upon the Earth.

IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP AND SEE HOW THIS REFUGEE CRISIS IS PLAYING INTO GOD'S END TIME SCENARIO!

Syrian refugees overloaded boat, refugee boy dead on beach...
CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE
Judging from the comments under the listed articles below that reveal the plight of so many poor Syrian and Iraqi refugees, many Westerners seem to think it may be a good idea for the West to help the Syrians help themselves to end this Civil War raging in their country. They want the Syrian people to be armed and trained so that the refugee crisis that Europe and the world is facing would be able to stop. However, since this entire refugee problem may have been engineered so that Radical Muslims could advance their plot toward world take over by both radicalizing the nations they move into - and using the weapons the West gives them against us, that would be a very foolhardy thing to do.

Tragic image of drowned Syrian toddler
highlights human cost of refugee crisis

Drowned Syrian boys buried in hometown they fled

The advocates of arming the people to fight back are very short-sighted, having forgotten that the USA tried to train the people in Iraq to defend themselves against Islamic Radical takeovers to the tune of 15 Trillion dollars, and it FAILED completely! This is because our troops eventually had to leave, and Iraqi soldiers are MUSLIMS that fear Allah and his radical jihadist helpers! So there is no way training the Syrians to fight back would work any better than it did in Iraq. That is - unless the West establishes PERMANENT totalitarian rule there and enforces the peace - which is what I believe that the Illuminati leaders working behind the scenes want to do!

How has the West created this crisis, you may ask? They did so by attacking the necessary totalitarian leaders that brought stability to Syria, Egypt and Iraq, arming the rebels in Syria, Egypt and Iraq, sending billions of dollars in to aid Syria, Egypt, Iraq, and Palestinian citizens that was channeled to arm and train Radical Islamic groups instead, selling US made weapons to the entire Middle East, especially the Egyptian and Saudi Terrorists supporters, and because they knew that so many Muslims think they might be fighting against Allah when they resist their Radical Islamic overlords. This is HOW the Illuminati have carefully and superbly engineered this crisis so that their PLANNED take over of the Middle East will eventually be determined to be necessary by the world.

According to God's Word, this is exactly what is going to happen, and it will lead to the Battle of Armageddon - or Ezekiel 38 and 39 War, where God wins, NOT the Illuminati! The West is already fighting it out with Russia in their bid to take over the Middle East, and to form the New World Order, which is the totalitarian international government that the Antichrist will control and use to persecute all the people of faith that resist him. This coming persecution of the Tribulation saints - and the persecution and slaughter of the saints that is already going on in the Middle East at the hands of ISIS - will anger God so much that He will finally release His Wrath.

After the coming Rapture of the Church or Bride of Christ to Heaven, the world will suffer from wave after wave of God's Wrath, which is described in the Bible's Book of Revelation, Chapters 6 through 19, and many billions of wicked, sinful, and unrepentant people will die from catastrophic world judgments that include deadly celestial bombardments, massive worldwide droughts, floods, earthquakes, fires, disease outbreaks, volcanic eruptions, the total destruction of forests and lakes, and the massive loss of the fish, birds and animals in them that people rely on for food. This will allow the Illuminati to take over what is left of the rest of the world also, and form the Antichrist's worldwide totalitarian Beast kingdom.

However, the proverbial "fly" in the bitter, satanic ointment of the Illuminati is that, due to their mad ambition for power, and their lust for more control over humanity as well as the Middle East's and the world's oil, gas and other resources - they are going to go after the nation of Israel, and try to take it over too. After all, the world is already aligning itself against Israel via the United Nations and their foolhardy Mid-East Peace Plan, which paints the Palestinian refugees as the victims of another fully engineered humanitarian crisis bent on destroying Israel.

But - fortunately for God's people - that will be the New World Order's downfall, because God WILL intervene on Israel's behalf, and a heavenly army far stronger than anything humans could imagine will destroy the armies that go against Israel! So bring it on, baby! I, for one, am looking forward to having my Messiah return in Glory to wipe out these Illuminati thugs and all of their satanically inspired helpers - after which He will set up His righteous, loving, and justice-filled kingdom on Earth that will NEVER end!

By the way, the ONLY way to escape this coming time of trouble -  and to be included in the Rapture - is to believe in and follow Jesus the Christ, or Yahshua the Messiah - as our coming King of kings is known to Messianics like me. So please, if you want to live forever, seek for Yahshua now with your whole heart, and you will find Him in the pages of the Bible, and in the hearts and minds of those truly loving and gentle human souls who already love and follow Him.

THERE ARE HORRIBLE CONSEQUENCES
FOR DEFINING EVIL AS GOOD!!!


The Prophet Isaiah clearly spoke of the wicked End Times that we are witnessing now, when evil is being touted as good and good as evil! But the entire section surrounding that verse also applies, and it STRONGLY suggests that, due to the immoral, sinful disregard of Biblical Moral Law as seen in Abortion, Gay Marriage, and the condoning of sexual sin, bodily mutilation, and genetic tampering going on in today’s world, Yahweh God will send fire and earthquakes so terrible that people will lay like refuse in the streets due to these sins! Here is what it says in the Jewish Bible:

~ * ~ Isaiah 5:18-25 ~ * ~
“Woe to those who begin by pulling
at transgression with a thread,
but end by dragging sin along
as if with a cart rope.
19 They say, “We want God to speed up his work,
to hurry it along, so we can see it!
We want the Holy One of Isra’el’s plan
to come true right now, so we can be sure of it!”
20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who change darkness into light
and light into darkness,
who change bitter into sweet
and sweet into bitter!
21 Woe to those seeing themselves as wise,
esteeming themselves as clever.
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,
men whose power goes to mixing strong drinks,
23 who acquit the guilty for bribes
but deny justice to the righteous!
24 Therefore, as fire licks up the stubble,
and the chaff is consumed in the flame;
so their root will rot,
and their flowers scatter like dust;
because they have rejected the Torah
of Adonai-Tzva’ot,
they have despised the word
of the Holy One of Isra’el.
25 This is why Adonai’s anger blazed up against his people,
why he stretched out his hand against them and struck them
[so hard that] the hills shook,
and corpses lay like trash in the streets.”

In the above passages, note verse 19. Many believers have been asking God to hasten His will in reference to the Rapture, and this suggests that doing this is wrong. We need to be patient and not ask Yahweh God to hasten His will. But the passage applies even more so to those adhering to Dominion and Kingdom Now Theology, who believe that it is the responsibility of the Church to set up the Kingdom of God on Earth before Yahshua returns. Though they may not realize it, they are playing right into the hand of the Antichrist by helping him to set up the New World Order!

Also take a close look at verses 24 and 25. These describe the fire and earthquakes that God will mete out against all the unbelievers as well as the Two Houses of Israel (which are the Jews and the Gentile Christian believers) due to those among them that have rejected God’s Law or Torah and are liberally condoning evil as good and condemning good as evil. As it says in Jude:
~ * ~ Jude 1:5-7 ~ * ~ “But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; 7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”
True Believers that are filled with the Holy Spirit and who know and are known by Yahshua would NEVER condone Gay Marriage or any other sexual sin, but the liberals do this constantly! It’s a terribly shameful thing! These are the Foolish Virgins that will join Rome and ride the Beast, and will pay the consequences with the unbelievers by sharing in their suffering and destruction!

REPENT NOW, God’s people, and beg Yahshua’s forgiveness, for we are now living as it was in the Days of Lot and Noah! Then go out and tell others the truth before it’s too late!

In The Meantime, Fellow Believers, Don’t Be Afraid! Despite all the wickedness around us, Trust God! Remember, we are all as dust in a dying world, and to die is to be home with Yahshua. Repent of all known sins, and then pray for protection, and ask others to pray with you. Then be assured that God is with you. Yahshua said that He would never leave us nor forsake us, even unto the End of the World! Rest in His Promise and do not fear!

Maranatha!

A Prophecy for the Church

This was given to me by a friend, who asked me to pass it on. I hope it will bless and guide you as we await the Rapture.

Yours in Yahshua,
Helena


A Prophecy for the Church

Received: Wednesday, July 7, 2010, 1:54 PM

Pastor Joh W. Matutis, (Berlin/Germany)

While I was praying this morning, God gave me a vision. He showed me a great, world-wide "mobilization" I saw myself strolling along a beach. Suddenly, there sounded a loud boom, which became stronger and more massive. It was not the noise of the sea or of the wind. It was completely still outside. The sea water was as smooth as glass. The deep booming sound which was like the sound of the mountains about to cave in, a banging sound which I had up till now never heard in my whole life, came from the other side of the ocean, from far away. It became so strong and mighty, that the earth began to quake and shake. It sounded like the blasting of a deep bass trumpet. I had never heard this sort and depth of bass sound before now. The whole air vibrated. I holed myself up in the dunes of the embankment, face down, and waited to see what would come out of this natural spectacle.

When the booming refused to stop, and instead became stronger, I saw myself begin to pray in the vision, and to speak with my God. Then I heard a voice saying, "my child, fear not. That is my mobilization call, a signal, from the other world. I am calling my people out from all peoples. I myself am shaking the earth and the sea. The sinners and godless will pass away for fear and the fearful expectation of the things which are to come. Understand, my child, that all these have been initiated by the financial crises. That was just the beginning of ruin.

The foundation of today's society will be so shaken that the people will lose all that they have acquired, and saved up till now.

Every infrastructure and welfare will collapse with time. Life will be very difficult for very many people. The general security will get out of control and there will be a proliferation of crime such that life on earth will be massively threatened. But you, who fear my name will I save from ruin. I am holding my arm of protection over you. Although not even a silent wind blew, and not even a small wave was seen on the sea, the booming was so mighty, that my heart threatened to stop beating. Then I thought to myself, "I will now also die". And then the Lord said to me,

"My child, do not fear. You are to live and continue to declare my works. Arise, go home and tell your loved ones. Let them know that the coming of my son is very close at hand, at the doorstep. I am setting everything in motion in order to take my people home, and I am now stripping them of everything that is holding them back, or blocking them.”

As I stood up to obey God's voice, starting to make my way homewards, I saw very many people, lying in the dunes. They had come out from their houses, racing towards the sea to see and experience this extraordinary natural spectacle. They lay on their faces as if paralysed, exactly as I had lain a few minutes before now. As I passed by them on my way home, despite the continuous distant booming sound, these people called to me saying "you are crazy; you cannot make it home in this situation. It is too dangerous".

They then buried their heads even further in the dunes, because they feared what would happen next. They no longer wanted to hear or know of anything.

And then said the Lord to me: "for you, my children, who fear my name, this is the day of my "mobilization". For you my "sun of salvation" arises, with which I gather my true children, and bring them together. Go, my son, and tell this everyone you can reach". Then I asked the Lord "what shall I tell them?" "Tell my children, The Lord said", "they are no longer to occupy themselves with perishable things, but rather, much more with the immortal, the eternal things. They are to seek me and study my word. They should forgive one another, so long as there is still time, and make peace with one another. They should stop being envious of, and pointing fingers at one another. They should neither accuse nor suspect one another. Everyone should do what he is supposed to, and can do. Tell them to free themselves of every unnecessary thing, and to stop fighting spasmodically (intermittently) for their rights. From now on, I will ensure your rights, and provide for justice for you. Great changes are about to occur all over the world, in every area of life. Adjust yourselves therefore and be prepared. Nothing is going to be as it has been before now..."

The further I moved away from the beach, the less of the booming sound I heard, even though I was of the opinion that the sound had become stronger and even more massive. I felt as if I had been secured in a glass case. Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying "I will bring my children into safety in my own way. You will see everything I will do in the world, which will experience all the "plagues of Egypt " before I withdraw my children unto myself, before Pharaoh releases you forever. My people hold together! Stay with one another, encourage one another. Soon, you would have made it!"

That was the last thing I took with me from this vision.

As I thought about all that I had seen, and what I should do with it, the Lord spoke to me saying "spread this revelation I have given you this morning about my "mobilization" overall further to my children, and encourage them to do likewise, for I am at the door (I am coming soon). And tell them, especially my people, that they should be serious about their relationship with Me (God), before it is too late...."

Please help me spread this message overall. Send it to your friends and acquaintances. Spread it your churches and house fellowships.

Translate it into other languages.

Maranatha! Our Lord comes.

POEM Ministry Monthly Newsletter - March 2010 Edition


Celebrate the Feast of Purim with End Time Knowledge and Insight!

In honor of the Feast of Purim this February 28th, 2010 that began at dusk on the night of the Full Moon on February 27th, I wanted to share a section of my book "The Language of God in Humanity" that includes an allegorical look at the story of Esther in the Old Testament and what it means on a spiritual and End Time prophetic level for Yahweh God's followers today. Here is a paragraph from that study:

“Purim commemorates a story of Jewish deliverance in the Old Testament Book of Esther. The Feast of Purim was added to the Jewish religious calendar during the time of Israel’s exile in Babylonia. Purim memorializes the victory of the exiled Jews over their enemies through the courage of Hadassah, the beautiful Jewish virgin who became Esther, the Queen of Persia. Through her petition to King Ahasuerus, the Jews were able to successfully defend themselves against their foreign enemies in Persia.”

In addition to the section on Purim originally included in the book excerpt at my web site, I have updated it to include the entire end of Chapter Two, which features the same deep analysis of the historical events surrounding the Feast of Chanukah, as well as a deep look into the allegorical and End Time prophetic meaning hidden in the Book of Ruth. To access this 20-page book excerpt, go to the main page for my book "The Language of God in Humanity" here:

http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Humanity/

Then scroll down to the bottom of the page, and look for this text link entitled:

“Prophecies Hidden in the Feasts of Israel - Focus on Purim”

To read this file, you can click on it and it will open in Adobe Acrobat Reader if you have this free software. If not, you can download a free copy at http://www.adobe.com . You can also download the file and save it to your PC by right-clicking on it, selecting "Save Target As," and saving it to your PC desktop or another file. After it is downloaded, just click on it and it will open in any software designed to read PDF files.

Before I close, I also wanted to mention that I think it is highly significant that the Sun, representing Yahweh God, and Jupiter the Messiah planet signifying Yahshua will be in conjunction when the Sun rises on Purim morning. At this time, the Sun along with Jupiter are centered in the sign of Aquarius, the Water Bearer signifying the pouring out of God’s Wrath on the wicked as well as the outpouring of God’s love and Spirit on the spiritually redeemed.

This conjunction is being framed by the planet Mercury representing Enoch the Scribe of Righteousness and Venus, signifying Yahshua as the Morning Star. Interestingly, whenever Mercury is near to the Sun, it indicates that something prophetically significant to Israel that has been noted in the heavens is about to occur, and the planet Venus tells us it pertains to Yahshua the Messiah’s work in securing His coming earthly Kingdom.

To get a hint as to what these signs in the heavens signify, we need only look to current events such as the powerful earthquakes in Haiti, Japan, and Chile, and the political and ideological intrigue in the USA and Israel and ongoing persecution of Christians and Jews around the world to get an idea of what is in store for planet Earth - namely the Rapture, onset of the Tribulation and beginning of the plagues of Revelation!

Helena Lehman to Host A New Internet Radio Show at the Edge AM

On Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 at 7 pm CST, I will begin hosting a new one-hour Internet Radio Show that is being sponsored by the Edge AM broadcast network at http://theedgeam.com.

This show will feature insights from my “Language of God” Series Books such as the allegorical and prophetic meaning of the Feasts of Israel and the purpose of the Gospel in the Stars and Sethite Astronomy in relation to Bible prophecy and ancient history. It will also focus on the scourge of the fallen angels and the Nephilim on humanity and our defense against them in Christ, and how current world events relate to prophesied End Time events. In addition, I will periodically interview a special guest with an exciting message to share.

At first, the show will be an audio show with a slide show for the video portion, but it will eventually be moving into a live video format, and all the episodes of this show will be archived at “The Edge AM” live broadcast web site: http://www.ebnlive.net.

As soon as I have a link to the show web page, I will send out a notice with it included. I hope you, your friends and your family will tune in and listen to the show whenever you are able, and I hope it will be a great blessing to everyone who listens in.

The Star Gospel Meaning of the Solar Eclipse of July 22nd, 2009

Copyright 2009 By Helena Lehman
http://pillar-of-enoch.com/

Star Gospel 101 - To determine the meaning of any celestial event, the first thing we need to do is determine which Zodiac sign or signs this event is occurring in and what it means allegorically. Secondly, we need to determine what part of the world this event will be best viewed from, since that is the area of the world where it will have the most prophetic relevance. Thirdly, we need to determine if this event is tied to a particular Jewish feast, which would give the event a strong spiritual meaning for Christians, Messianics, and Jews.

To determine the location of a celestial event, an astronomy software program is usually essential unless one knows how to identify the Zodiac signs and their decans on sight, lives in the countryside or wilderness, and can view starry night skies to determine the location of events. To determine where a celestial event will occur over is also a bit complicated without an astronomy program, which shows the best viewing areas for the event from Earth when directed to do so.

Without an astronomy program, events such as Solar and Lunar Eclipses can be located at the http://www.Nasa.gov web site, where they have eclipse event logs (see http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html) that span into the past and future. In addition, other pertinent information about impending or recent celestial events can be gleaned from the http://www.space.com/ and http://www.astronomy.com/ web sites.

From my astronomy program, I can see that the Solar Eclipse of July 22, 2009 will occur in the Zodiac sign of Cancer and will be best viewed from the eastern coastlands of Asia including North and South Korea, China’s eastern seaboard, Japan, the Philippines, and New Guinea. Since it is an event where the light of the Sun signifying the light and truth of Yahweh God is hidden behind a New Moon or dark-faced Moon, it suggests the absence of light and spiritual illumination. In other words, a Solar Eclipse is usually a dire warning that spiritual apostasy and deception will soon increase in some major way. It can also indicate that God’s favor on a certain nation or people group has been lost and strong judgment and catastrophe may be imminent.

Judging by North Korea’s behavior lately, this Solar Eclipse could very well be a sign that North Korea is soon going to suffer dramatically due to the poor political and spiritual choices of its government, and that other parts of Asia nearby will be severely affected by this judgment.

Determining where on the Jewish calendar this event occurs can easily be found at http://hebcal.com , which shows all the Jewish feasts in any given year. Though it is not accurate for past dates beyond 1750, it is accurate for recent past, present and future dates. On the Jewish calendar, this Solar Eclipse will fall on the 1st of Av, which is the 5th month of the Jewish Year and only eight days before the Jewish fast day known as Tisha B’Av or the 9th of Av.

The 9th of Av is a national day of fasting and sorrow for the Jewish people because both the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed on this date in the far past. In addition, many pogroms and expulsions of the Jews from various countries have occurred on this date ever since the Diaspora.

Using my "Summary of the Mazzaroth - Gospel in the Stars" Zodiac Chart found in all four of my books, I can tell at a glance that the sign of Cancer is connected to the Tribe of Issachar and - via a new chart in my latest book - to the nation of Finland. In addition, I can see that Cancer represents a sheepfold or donkey corral, with the two groups of sheep or two donkeys in it being representative of the Jews in Israel and the Gentile Church. So, since this Solar Eclipse is occurring over eastern Asia, it serves as a bad portent for Jews and Christians living in that region.

Also, since there is another total Solar Eclipse occurring on July 11th next year that falls on the same date of the 1st of Av on the Jewish calendar and is best viewed over Easter Island in the South Pacific, it seems that these two eclipses are indicating that the year in between these two events will be tumultuous times for the Jewish people and Christians - especially those living in Asia and Polynesia.

Due to the fact that I was born on the 9th of Av in 1957, am a modern-day Magi and have a prophetic Messianic ministry, I also think that these Solar Eclipses are a sign to me and an indicator from God that the Pillar of Enoch Ministry Web Site and “The Language of God” Book Series will become much better recognized during this time among Messianic Jews and Christians, and will be more greatly utilized for reaching lost sheep and Pagans worldwide.

The date of this 7-22-2009 Solar Eclipse contains the numbers 7 and 22, and both of these numbers are tied to the coming of the Rapture, seven-year Tribulation period, and the subsequent Second Coming of Christ and set up of His Millennial Kingdom. Adding to this End Time symbolism of the Solar Eclipse on July 22, 2009, a new celestial sign occurred on July 21st, 2009. This consisted of a new impact to the planet Jupiter, which is the Messiah planet that is connected to Yahshua (i.e. Jesus), Judah (and the King of Judah) and the Jews.

In my book “The Language of God in Prophecy,” I discuss the major impacts that occurred on Jupiter in 1994 from the breaking up of the comet named Shoemaker-Levi 9, a comet that began breaking up on the 9th of Av that year and that was named after two Jews followed by the number 9, indicating divine Judgment.

In my opinion, these 21 impacts indicated that a 21 to 23-year period (since there were 21 impacts involving two celestial bodies and Psalm 94 connected to 1994 has 23 verses) of harsh judgment for the nation of Israel and the rest of the unbelieving world. According to what God has shown me, this time of judgment will extend from 1994 through 2016.

Since I believe the Tribulation will occur between 2011 and 2017, this new impact to Jupiter occurred as a warning that there is only one year left before the events leading to the Rapture and Tribulation begin to unfold rapidly. This year has also been marked by the two eclipses on the 1st of Av.

In addition to my book “The Language of God in Prophecy,” which speaks about the amazing End Time events unfolding on the Earth and the accompanying “Signs in the Heavens,” I just finished another exciting book in “The Language of God” Book Series.

This book is called the “The Language of God in History,” and it is filled with amazing insights into the history of the world from a godly biblical perspective and includes little-known details of human history taken from the Book of Enoch, Book of Jasher, Book of Jubilees, the “Legends of the Jews” and “The Antiquities of the Jews” by Flavius Josephus.

This exhaustively researched book discloses what the celestial markers built on the Earth prior to the Great Flood by the Sethites and Watchers (such as the Great Pyramid, Pyramid of the Sun and Stonehenge) mean in relation to End Time Bible Prophecy. In addition, it discusses who the Nephilim and Watchers were and how they have impacted human history.

Lunar Eclipse Warns of Coming Judgment for Resurrecting the Nephilim Spirit

On February 20th, 2008, between 8 and 10 pm CST, there was a full Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Leo that I was fortunate enough to be able to see from my home's front window in the Chicago area of the USA. It was unusually clear that night, but bitter cold! Thankfully, the whole waxing and waning eclipse was visible from my front window before the moon slipped up too high on the ecliptic to be seen, as it was then over my house.

The eclipse occurred when the Full Moon was centered between the star Regulus and the prominently-ringed giant gas planet Saturn, also housed in Leo. During a Lunar Eclipse, the Moon takes on an eerie reddish hue reminiscent of blood. I think this is significant, especially because eclipsed Full Moons appeared on the night that the Angel of Death plagued Egypt on the very first Passover, as well as on the Passover night after Yahshua (Jesus) was crucified on the Cross.

As some of you may know from my previous posts here (or from the pdf supplements and excerpts at my
http://pillar-of-enoch.com/ web site), the sign of Leo represents the Lion of Judah, Yahshua Ha Mashiach (i.e. Jesus the Anointed One), Saturn represents the kingship and Sabbath rest of God, and Regulus is the king star associated with the birth and coronation of kings that was prominently in conjunction with the Messiah planet Jupiter at the time of Yahshua's birth in 3 BC.

While the Moon was being eclipsed in Leo, the Sun was in the exact center of the sign of Aquarius on the other side of the world, and was flanked on either side by two more distant gas giant planets: Uranus and Neptune. In addition, Venus was in Capricorn and Jupiter was in Sagittarius. These two signs have good connotations in the Star Gospel, as Capricorn can be associated with Noah and his deliverance through the horrible judgment of the Great Flood, and Sagittarius signifies the dual purpose of Christ as a blood sacrifice for sin, and a conquering king who vanquishes Satan forever.

However, both of these signs have a negative side that has to do with the Nephilim, who were part human and part animal monsters that were genetically spliced together by the fallen angels and their wives. Unfortunately for humankind, this warped effort to play God in the past turned deadly when their Nephilim children became giants, developed voracious appetites, and then began to eat and destroy humanity and all the other creatures on the Earth that they were composed of.

When these Nephilim died, they were outside God's Plan of Redemption, and their spirits are therefore to be trapped forever as demons. Some of these demonic Nephilim spirits currently wander the Earth where they can torment people, or have been supernaturally neutralized as powerless spirits imprisoned forever inside the fiery abyss, or Lake of Fire deep inside the Earth that has been prepared for them for all eternity.

Interestingly, Leo is a symbol of Christ coming again in power to conquer the Seed of the Serpent. The Seed of the Serpent refers to unrepentant sinners, who are like the Nephilim in their inciting of evil and violence, as well as the literal spirits and seed of the Nephilim still in existence on the Earth today. In addition, both Leo and Aquarius are powerfully connected to the End Times, and the coming of the Great Tribulation, and Capricorn and Sagittarius warn us of the coming of the Nephilim. Therefore, could it be that Yahweh is issuing humanity a warning about the unholy genetic splicing and demonic worship going on today, just as it was going on before the Flood?

After all, we are now creating genetically altered food crops containing animal genes, and are manufacturing cloned and genetically mixed animals in test tubes. In addition, there are reports of bizarre genetic experiments going on that involve the creation of mutant creatures containing the genetic material of many types of life mixed together - just as was done prior to the Great Flood with devastating results.

In addition, we are living in the most ungodly time in history since the Flood, when this Scripture has literally come true, and intensified in the past 30 years:

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!" - 2 Timothy 3:1-5

In the Book of Revelation, Yahshua warned that He was going to harshly judge these people who have a form of godliness outwardly, but secretly are filled with every iniquity, and who revel in violence, pride, narcissism, and hedonism. This warning was given to the Laodicean Church, which signifies many of the Christian congregations in North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe today:

"And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, 'These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 'I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, "I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing" -- and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked -- I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent." - Revelation 3:14-19

Can you identify people who are a part of this widespread Laodicean Church, which preaches the false Health and Wealth Gospel, also known as the Prosperity Doctrine? Have you recently been a victim of increasing numbers of selfish, vindictive people who think they are better than you are, and who treat you disrespectfully - without cause?

How many feel entitled to be rich, or want to live as though they were rich with their extravagant use of credit? How many now spend far more money and time on preserving their looks, and having a good time, than they do in helping others to grow in their spiritual faith? Do you know people, or have you ever felt led to utter the magical "Name it and Claim It" incantations (i.e. positive affirmations) used to procure wealth through the false, or Anti-Gospel powered by demons disguised as Angels of Light? If so, you have encountered the Laodicean Church.

Yes, with all the relativism, tolerance of sin, and emphasis on wealth and pleasure in today's Laodicean Church, there is no doubt that we are living in the Last Days, for it is now just as Yahshua said it would be:

"And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man." - Luke 17:26

Get ready everyone, for the signs in the heavens are warning us that the Days of Noah are upon us once again! This means that terrible trouble and judgment are coming upon the whole world very soon, and those who do not repent, and turn to Yahshua for salvation will suffer enormously in the wake of the cataclysmic events during the Great Tribulation.

Anyone who has read my recent articles about the Perseus Prophecy connected to three comets, or the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse being connected to the celestial signs on December 21st, 2012, and forming a great Anti-Peace sign in the sky on that very day know that the heavens were designed by God to tell us His Will, the consequences of sin, and the working of God's Plan of Salvation throughout time.

Because of this, I urge you all to pray fervently for our supernatural deliverance from evil, and join me in constantly crying out "Maranatha!" "Please Come, Yahshua!"

Part Two: The Prophetic Portents Hidden in the ‘96 Thru ‘08 Celestial Signs


NOTE 1: This is Part Two of a Two Part Article discussing the use of Sacred Astronomy in determining the dating of key biblical prophecies. It began with: “Part One: A Celestial “X” Marks An Ominous Spot In History.” Both articles are based on Helena Lehman’s “Language of God Series” Books (see:

In 2007, several major celestial events occurred to strengthen my interpretation of the heavenly signs that appeared a decade earlier - in 1996 and 1997. Incidentally, 1997 was only two years before the close of the 6,000 years allotted for mankind that have elapsed between Adam’s creation, and the end of the Church Age. This Age ended on Rosh Hashanah, September 11th, 1999 - on the same day as the Terrorist attack that occurred two years later in 2001- at the World Trade Center in New York.

The first celestial event in 2007 was the appearance of the extremely brilliant Comet named McNaught, which appeared in the sign of Sagittarius early in January. Interestingly, the centaur/archer symbol for Sagittarius signifies Christ coming to conquer Satan, sin and death via the Cross at His First Advent, and the amazingly long tail of Comet McNaught looked like the giant sword that Christ will wield in triumph when He returns in Glory.

As if in anticipation of that same event, another Lunar Eclipse occurred on Purim - at around midnight on March 3, 2007 - which was very similar to the one on Purim in 1997. Only this time, the eclipse occurred in the sign of Leo, the Lion - a symbol for the Lion of Judah, who is Christ. As such, Leo represents Christ coming to assume His role as the King of Israel at the end of the Great Tribulation. At that time, Christ will conquer Israel’s enemies, and set up His Millennial Reign on Earth. Before discussing the last celestial sign of 2007, it is interesting to note that the Feast of Purim represents the struggle of Israel against being either assimilated, or destroyed by her enemies.

In modern times - since there is an ever-growing awareness among Christians of their Jewish roots - Purim has taken on a great deal of significance to Christians, as well as Jews. In fact, in addition to the victory of the Jews over the evil Vizier Haman in Persia, Purim now represents the desire of Christians to retain their uniquely Christian way of life, and to find protection from martyrdom. In consequence, Purim clearly symbolizes the current ideological war between the Middle East and the West - a war that is a much larger reflection of the unsettling events which led to the first Purim that was celebrated in ancient Persia (i.e. Iraq) over 2,500 years ago. A detailed overview of what Purim means for Christians can be found in my book, “The Language of God in Humanity.” (see
http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Humanity/)

This leads us to discuss the final heavenly sign that occurred toward the end of 2007. Between October 23 and 26, 2007 - and right around the time of the pagan Samhain festival known as Halloween - Comet Holmes grew from a very dim magnitude 17 to a very bright magnitude 2.8. This change in brightness occurred when the comet was near to the bright star named Mirfak (which is also erroneously labeled Al Genib) in Perseus. At that time, the sword-like tail of Comet Holmes was pointing directly toward the Earth - making the comet’s tail appear to disappear, and thus making the comet temporarily look like a bright new star in Perseus.

Though Comet Holmes has faded markedly in brilliance since October of 2007, it has remained in the constellation Perseus since then, slowly doing a big retrograde loop through it. Now - just as Comets Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp did a little over a decade earlier - Comet Holmes will cross directly over the star Al Ghoul in Perseus on January 22nd, 2008, and it would be remarkable if the comet flares up again in brightness around that date. But even if it doesn’t, could Comet Holmes still be in Perseus for a reason? And is there some significance to three comets visiting the sign of Perseus in the past decade?

In order to understand what this unusual comet crossing might signify, look at my illustration entitled “Orion, Auriga, Perseus, and Aries Treading Satan Underfoot.” In it, note that the very first prophecy in the Bible - Genesis 3:15 - is repeated many times in this section of the Gospel in the Stars. Also, note that Perseus is just one of many Christ-figures in the Zodiac. In fact, Orion, Auriga, and Aries all serve as dualistic representations of Christ’s varied roles throughout history.

In Genesis 3:15, it says:

“He (i.e. Yahshua, a.k.a. Jesus) shall bruise you (i.e. Satan) on the head, and you (i.e. Satan) shall bruise Him (i.e. Yahshua) on the heel.”

This prophecy signifies that Christ will defeat the Antichrist, and his evil followers by crushing Satan’s “head,” or the seat of his power, which currently appears to be located in Africa and the Middle East, but will later encompass all of Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Russia, and the United Kingdom. These nations will unite to form an unholy alliance that will be touted as the Kingdom of God. However, it will not be Christ, but rather the Antichrist who will rule this worldly kingdom in disguise. In support of this, Genesis 3:15 indicates that Satan will hurt Christ by allegorically biting Christ’s people in the heel, or fatally wounding them, just as the adder of the Tribe of Dan will bite the horse’s heels:

“Dan shall be a serpent by the way, a viper by the path, that bites the horse's heels so that its rider (the Church) shall fall backward.” - Genesis 49:17 (NIV)

The prophecies in Genesis 3:15 and Genesis 49:17 can clearly be seen in the way the Christ-figure Perseus’ left foot rests over the Pleiades in Taurus the Bull, or dual Unicorn. Note here that the horse in Genesis 49:17 signifies the flying horse Pegasus, which also can be seen in the unicorn, and bull symbols used to signify the USA, the UK, and the EU. Meanwhile, the serpent and viper referred to as coming from the Tribe of Dan are the terrorists in the Middle East who are allegorically biting the heels of Perseus’ horse, Pegasus (i.e. the West).

Now, the Pleiades star cluster has a cup-like shape formed by six stars, which resembles the shapes of two constellations formed by seven prominent stars. These are the Big Dipper, or Ursa Major representing the True Church, and the Little Dipper, or Ursa Minor, which signifies the Apostate, or Antichristian Church. Thus, the rider allegorically seen in the Pleiades is none other than a symbol for the Seven Churches of Revelation!

Interestingly, the Pleiades are known as the Seven Sisters, even though only six of the “sisters,” or stars are currently visible with the naked eye. In ancient times, however, it appears that there were seven bright stars in the Pleiades instead of six, but one of these stars has faded markedly since then. This has given rise to myths that one sister was separated from her other sisters for some reason, but would one day be re-united with them. This suggests that the Pleiades has a duality to it, and represents something good (signified by the number 7) that will metamorphose into something evil (signified by the number 6), and then revert again into something good. Could it therefore be that, just as the Seven Sisters myth indicates, one of the Churches of Revelation (the Church of Philadelphia, or brotherly love) is to be taken in the Rapture, while the other six are to be left behind to suffer through the Great Tribulation? This seems to be a likely interpretation, and one that the Western nations should be paying heed to because of their involvement in the Middle East.

In the Star Gospel, Perseus also has two roles. In one, Perseus is Christ coming to slay Satan, that evil being who turns people’s hearts to stone - just as the gorgon Medusa turned people’s entire bodies to stone. In addition, Perseus signifies Christ trampling on the dead bodies of His enemies, as seen in Perseus’ foot over the Pleiades. In fact, the myth of Perseus riding Pegasus depicts the truth that Christ will one day ride to victory on a white horse when He returns to end the Battle of Armageddon! Sadly, however, the Antichrist will try to mimic Christ as a mighty king and conqueror, and his armies will cut off the heads of many Tribulation Saints (see Rev. 20:4) before his own head is cut off, and he and his armies are totally destroyed.

It is interesting to note here that two Bible passages seem to refer to the Perseus constellation by its Hebrew name “Peretz,” specifically in reference to Christ’s triumphant return. These are:

“I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together… like a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make a loud noise because of so many people. The one who breaks open (Allah Peretz) will come up before them; they will break out, pass through the gate, and go out by it; their king will pass before them, with the LORD (Yahweh) at their head.” - Micah 2:12-13 (NKJ)

“The Portion of Jacob (i.e. Christ) is not like them, for He is the Maker of all things; and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance. The LORD of hosts (Yahweh Tsavout) is His name. You are (i.e. Israel) My battle-ax and weapons of war: for with you… I will destroy kingdoms; With you I will break in pieces the horse and its rider; with you I will break in pieces the chariot and its rider…” “ ‘And I will repay Babylon (Iraq) and all the inhabitants of Chaldea (Iran) for all the evil they have done in Zion in your sight,’ says the LORD. ‘Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, who destroys all the earth,’ says the LORD. ‘And I will stretch out My hand against you...’ ” - Jeremiah 51:19-22, 24-25 (NKJ)

Now, note that - in the first Scripture from Micah - “the remnant of Israel” refers to the modern nation of Israel, which is filled with people that have been re-gathered from all the nations. In addition, they are called God’s “battle ax,” meaning that both the literal nation, and the spiritual kingdom of Israel will be utilized as weapons against God’s enemies. This is why the term “Allah Peretz,” which is translated as “the one who breaks open,” is used to refer to Christ! God’s Son is indeed the “Allah Breaker,” who will vanquish the terrorists who follow their Allah, or God!

In this case, Allah - by virtue of his fomenting of war and hate against God’s chosen people Israel - is being recognized in Scripture as Satan. In addition, in the Scripture from Jeremiah, note that the term “break in pieces” refers to the breaking action of Perseus the Breaker against God’s enemies, who are identified as Babylon, or modern-day Iraq, and Chaldea, or Iran, but which encompass all Muslim or Atheist-dominated nations with a hatred for the West. This supports what I have written about regarding Psalm 108 as a prophecy showing that the West will be victorious over much of the Middle East during a coming battle in 2008 or 2009. But be warned! This is not the Battle of Gog and Magog (or the Battle of Armageddon), but a lesser battle that will lead to a false peace, and the visible presence of the Antichrist in world affairs - though he will not be in control of the world yet. After this war, and false peace, there will be a brief, but powerful world religious revival, and then the Rapture will come.

Sometime after the secret snatching away of the saints known as the Rapture of the True Church, the dreaded battle variously known as World War III, Armageddon, the Apocalypse, or the Battle of Gog and Magog will occur. This is when the Pleiades will take on its dual role as a symbol for evil, and will represent the Harlot called the Woman (or Church) who rides the Beast (i.e. Taurus the Bull) in the Book of Revelation. This Woman signifies the unholy ecumenical alliance that has already formed between Protestant, Catholic, Buddhist, Hindu, Wiccan, and New Age congregations. Some people in these congregations will blindly ally themselves with the Antichrist after the Rapture, while many people in the same congregations who were left behind will recognize, and reject the leadership of the Antichrist. After they do, they will form a resistance movement against the Antichrist, and his evil global government. These rebels will become the Tribulation Saints - many of whom will be martyred for their faith in that final End Time hour, but will later be rewarded by Christ for their courage in the face of overwhelming persecution.

Now, since Sacred Astronomy is a method of determining what God’s Will is during any point in history, I began to look for possible correlations between celestial events, and world political and religious events from 1996 through 2007 that affected both Gentile and Jewish Israel, and the nation called Israel that - along with the USA - is so hated by radical Muslims. What I found is nothing less than shocking, since the Iraqi Disarmament Crisis began in March 1996, and continued through 1997. In addition, Osama Bin Laden declared Jihad, or Holy War against the United States in August of that same year, and Israel agreed to relinquish control of the Israeli-settled Gaza Strip to the Palestinians.

Even before that, in 1995, Israel turned over the West Bank - including the once Christian town of Bethlehem - to the Palestinians. Then they relinquished the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians in 1997. Interestingly, Joseph’s tomb is in the Gaza Strip, which includes a region of Israel that once belonged to the Half-Tribe that sprang up from Joseph’s younger son Ephraim. In my book, “The Language of God in Prophecy,” (see
http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Prophecy/) I show how the term “Ephraim” pertains directly to the United States of America in Bible prophecy. In support of this connection, the building covering Joseph’s tomb was brutally destroyed by the Palestinians in the year 2000 - just one year before Terrorists destroyed the Twin Towers in New York. Then, in 2003, the Palestinians destroyed the carved stone covering Joseph’s grave.

The destruction of Joseph’s tomb in the region of Israel called Shechem was no accident, but was a symbolic gesture showing the hatred of the Palestinians, and many other radical Muslims toward the modern people of Ephraim. Though Ephraim prophetically signifies Christ’s born-again disciples around the world - it especially represents the saints in America who are outspoken in their support of the nation of Israel!

At the close of 2007, the USA-led war in Iraq that began under the Bush Administration in 2003 was still raging, though this wars’ end may be in sight - in light of the upcoming 2008 presidential elections in the USA. In addition, the November 27th Annapolis Peace Conference in Maryland, which attempted to bring an end to the ongoing Arab-Israeli Conflict of the last century, has come to nothing. This suggests that - as discussed in one of my earlier articles about the prophecy in Psalm 108 - a showdown is coming in either 2008 or 2009 that will be between the United States (along with Israel, and her other Western allies), and the Middle-East.

Ominously, as a sign of troubling times to come for the United States, it was discovered that the tomb of Joseph had been even more savagely vandalized by late 2007. In fact, the Palestinians living in Shechem - who likely know the alleged significance of Joseph’s son Ephraim in Bible Prophecy - had contemptuously turned Joseph’s tomb into a smoking, malodorous garbage pit. Indeed, they show no signs of stopping this outrageous breach of decency, and are continuing to fill it with ever-more burning heaps of garbage. To me, this situation is appalling. I find it hard to believe that the Palestinians could so shamelessly desecrate the tomb of one of the greatest patriarchs in the Bible - despite their hatred of the USA! It’s simply untenable!

Thank God that Yahshua (Jesus) will most certainly bring strong judgment and destruction upon the Palestinians, and everyone else who hates Israel, and refuses to repent of their sins in the very near future.

“The Amazing Heavenly Anti-Peace Sign Formed in the Zodiac by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”

Part Three - “The Anti-Peace Sign Chanukiah of the Four Horseman, and the Eclipses Marking the Great Tribulation”


Copyright © 2007 By Helena Lehman

In the first two parts of this article, I showed how the four mounted Messengers of Doom called the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will allegorically form a giant Anti-Peace sign in heaven on December 21st, 2012, the Mayan Date for the End of the World. When the first four seals of judgement in the Book of Revelation are opened, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will allegorically draw this Anti-Peace Sign with the Zodiac signs of Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra, and Taurus in the sky. Since the Zodiac story hidden in these signs parallels the Bible’s account of sin and salvation through Christ, each one of these four heavenly star signs is packed with allegorical truth that reveals the nature of each apocalyptic rider’s mission.

Amazingly, that is not the only sign that will appear in heaven on the morning of December 21, 2012! What is really astounding is that the same Anti-Peace Sign will form a giant Chanukah Menorah tied to the number 9, which is associated with divine judgment in Scripture! The nine branches of this heavenly “Chanukiah” will be allegorically marked by the three decans signs under each of the three adjacent Zodiac signs forming the trident portion of the Anti-Peace Sign! These are Sagittarius’ decans (1) Lyra, (2) Ara, and (3) Draco; Scorpio’s decans (4) Ophiuchus, (5) Serpens, and (6) Hercules; and Libra’s decans (7) Crux, (8) Victima, and (9) Corona Borealis.

This Chanukiah is also depicted by the line-up of planets on December 21st, 2012, with Mars in Sagittarius marking the first lamp on this Menorah in heaven, Mercury in Scorpio marking the center lamp, which is called the Servant Lamp, and Saturn in Libra marking the ninth, and final lamp. The sign of Taurus depicting Christ crucified, and as a Risen King (via Orion), and the Messiah planet Jupiter depicting Christ’s crown are paired together to serve as this Chanukiah’s base. It therefore represents the firm foundation of Yahshua the Messiah (i.e. Jesus the Christ), who will one day return as a conquering King - like a mighty bull in His invincible power:

“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ (Yahshua the Messiah).” -- 1 Corinthians 3:11

To better understand what this heavenly Chanukiah described here looks like, see my illustrations for this three-part article series online. These illustrations reveal many things that these articles do not have the length to cover adequately:

Please also see my illustration showing how a Chanukah Menorah illustrates the complete reversal of history that Yahshua will accomplish before the New Heaven and New Earth are created at the end of His Millennial Kingdom on Earth at:

http://pillar-of-enoch.com/graphics/hallel/reversal.jpg

While examining the illustrations, note that the Anti Peace Sign also forms a trident symbol, which is used as a weapon for fishing and war, suggesting both the winning of souls, and the destruction of souls. Tridents are also associated with the false gods Poseidon, and Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction.

Due to these amazing signs that will appear in the heavens on December 21st, 2012, it is my belief that Yahshua will end the false peace of the Antichrist very shortly after that time, and then will pour out the Wrath of God on Earth before bringing in His Millennial Kingdom of True Peace. The time when this false peace ends will be marked by signs in the heavens, including the darkening of the Sun in an eclipse, and reddening of the Moon in an eclipse (Mat. 24:29; Mark 13:24-25; Rev. 6:12).

Now, based on the prophecies in the Hallel Psalms, which I spoke of in an earlier article series, and speak of at length in my book “The Language of God in Prophecy” (see
http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Prophecy/), it is my belief that December 21, 2012 marks the end of the second year of the Great Tribulation. This means that the Great Tribulation will officially begin on, or around the time of the Winter Solstice in 2010 AD.

Curiously, on the evening just before the Sun rises on the Winter Solstice in 2010, there is gong to be a total Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Taurus, which signifies both God’s mercy on believers, and His terrible wrath on the Gentiles who reject Him. It also signifies Christ’s return with His saints and angels to defend the Jews and Tribulation Saints at the Battle of Armageddon!

As an eerie sign of the terrible wars, and subsequent Wrath of God to come, this Lunar Eclipse will occur directly over the tip of the constellation Orion’s upraised sword. Since Orion depicts Christ, the sword that the Lunar Eclipse occurs over is the sword of Christ! This eclipse will be visible over much of North America, which will likely be one of the most hard-hit sections of the world when the sudden disappearance of millions of believers occurs in an event known as the Rapture. The Rapture will occur on a day and hour known only to God prior to, or shortly after the onset of the Great Tribulation. At that time, true Christians all over the world will disappear off the face of the Earth, will be taken to Heaven in the twinkling of an eye, and will be given immortal spiritual bodies without having to experience death. Some time after the Rapture occurs, the unbridled Wrath of God in the unleashing of the Seal, Trumpet, and Bowl Judgments will come upon the whole world - as recorded in the Book of Revelation.

Though I suspect that the Rapture will occur before the seven-year Tribulation, and hence sometime in 2010 AD - this glorious event could occur as late as December 21st, 2012, which will likely be two years into the Great Tribulation. According to the prophetic implications shown through Sacred Astronomy, the Four Horsemen will begin their ride at the end of the first two years of peace in the seven-year Great Tribulation period. This false peace of the Antichrist’s kingdom will end when the Rider on the Red Horse - who presages war and bloodshed - begins his journey over the Earth.

After the first Four Seals are opened, and the Four Horsemen are sent by God to ride over the Earth, the next event in the Book of Revelation is the opening of the Fifth Seal:

“When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried… saying, ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?’ “…and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.” -- Rev. 6:9-11 (NKJ)

This Scripture suggests that the false peace of the Tribulation period will end abruptly sometime after December 21st, 2012, and that rebellions and wars will erupt everywhere when countless Tribulation Saints will begin to be imprisoned, tortured, and killed as martyrs all over the world. These persecuted contenders for the faith will then be added to the number of saints in Heaven who already await divine justice for their martyrdom at the hands of their satanic persecutors.

Could it therefore be that the numerous heavenly signs that accompany the opening of the Sixth Seal marks not only the last three and a half year pouring out of God’s Wrath on a wicked world during the seven years of the Great Tribulation, but the beginning of the most severe persecution of the Tribulation Saints?

One thing is certain: the opening of the Sixth Seal will herald the beginning of massive Earth changes that will occur via an earthquake, or series of earthquakes that move mountains and islands out of their places. In addition, many heavenly signs, including a Solar Eclipse, Lunar Eclipse, and a massive meteor shower will accompany these earthquakes. I have identified these signs within the following quoted text:

“I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair (a solar eclipse), and the moon became like blood (a lunar eclipse). And the stars of heaven fell to the earth (a massive meteor shower)… Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up (severe atmospheric changes), and every mountain and island was moved out of its place (massive Earth changes). And the kings of the earth… every slave and every free man, hid themselves… and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from…. the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’“ -- Rev. 6:12-17 (NKJ)

Since the Anti-Peace Sign in the sky will mark the end of the false peace of the Antichrist on December 21st, 2012, the coming of the Seven Trumpet judgments, and the subsequent outpouring of the final Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath can be determined by looking for a Solar Eclipse first, and then a Lunar Eclipse.

Ominously, both a Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse will occur in the spring of 2015 AD - in conjunction with major events on the Jewish calendar. Since the prophecy found in the Hallel Psalms suggests that the Great Tribulation will end in 2017, the eclipses in 2015 suggest that the Seven Trumpet and Seven Bowl Judgments will occur within the near 3-year period between the spring of 2015, and the end of 2017.

To better understand this section, please use the following link to see the PDF file containing the illustrations of the Solar and Lunar Eclipses in the spring of 2015:

http://pillar-of-enoch.com/graphics/Eclipses_4-Horsemen-Article.pdf

On March 20th, 2015, the Solar Eclipse will occur in the sign of Pisces - exactly one day before the Spring, or Vernal Equinox that year. Uncannily, the first day of the first month of the Jewish religious calendar - a.k.a. the Jewish First of the Year - will also occur on the Spring Equinox on March 21st. At sunrise on the 21st, the waxing Crescent Moon will appear in the sign of Pisces. In the Gospel in the Stars, the two fishes of Pisces represent the Two-House Church of Judah and Ephraim, consisting of Messianic Jews and saved Lost Israelites and Gentiles. Now, a heavenly band, or cord binds these Piscean fishes to the evil sea monster constellation called Cetus, which is under the sign of Aries. This likely represents the fact that many saved Jews and Christians have been, and will again be martyred for their faith - especially during the Great Tribulation.

Fourteen days after the New Moon on the Spring Equinox, on the evening of April 4th, 2015, it will be Passover. Intriguingly, a Lunar Eclipse will occur in the sign of Virgo on that night that will be best viewed on Easter Island. This is significant because Easter Island was discovered on Easter Sunday, April 5th, 1722, and Easter will be on Sunday, April 5th in 2015 - on the morning after the Passover Lunar Eclipse! Virgo represents the ancient kingdom, and modern nation of Israel, and both serve as forerunners to the coming Millennial Kingdom of Yahshua.

Could this be why Easter Island is covered with many enigmatic ancient stone statues - many with emaciated human torsos suggesting starvation and sickness? Could this be why their stone faces appear to be staring out in dismay at the far horizon in every direction? Could our righteous Sethite ancestors who knew Sacred Astronomy, and the holy Watchers who guided them have been trying to tell us something about the terrifying earthly and heavenly events that will occur beginning in 2015 AD by making Easter Island a modern archeological marvel, and mystery? If the Sethites knew of the First and Second Advent of Christ from the Gospel in the Stars, could Easter Island’s hundreds of stone statues have been carved to portray the global state of mankind during the last few years before Christ’s Second Coming, which may occur in 2017?

Though archeologists insist that the Easter Island stone heads were carved from solidified lava ash long after the time of Christ, some believe them to be much older. In particular, one wall carved at Ahu Vinapu on Easter Island greatly resembles ancient Pre-Flood structures made of finely fitted monolithic stone blocks that have been found around the world in places like Machu Picchu in South America, Teotihuacán in Mexico, Baalbek in Lebanon, and Giza in Egypt.

As shown in my book: “The Language of God in History,” (see
http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_History/) it is my belief that these disparate sites are all connected - via Sacred Astronomy - by the righteous genius of one Sethite man who lived before the Great Flood named Enoch, and his descendents Noah and Shem. Furthermore, it is my contention that these men wanted to leave a testimony that communicated what they believed, and knew would happen in the far future. As a result, they carved it all in stone for this final generation - the generation that will experience the terrifying events heralding the end of this old world system, and the ushering in of a true New Age of Righteousness built on the foundation of Christ, the Bible, and the Star Gospel.

Whatever these heavenly signs portend, the conjunction of these eclipses with major Jewish calendar events in 2015 seems highly significant when viewed through the lenses of biblically-based Sacred Astronomy. As shown in my book: “The Language of God in Humanity” (see
http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Humanity/), a Lunar Eclipses occurred both on the night of the first Passover in Egypt, and on the night of the Passover when Christ was crucified! Could it be that this night of a Passover Lunar Eclipse in 2015 will also mark another significant turn of events for the Jews, and Tribulation Saints?

After the Easter Island Lunar Eclipse in 2015, the next significant eclipse will be a Solar Eclipse on August 21st, 2017. From an aerial perspective, this Solar Eclipse will cast the Moon’s shadow over all of North America, possibly indicating that something prophetically significant will occur on behalf of this region of the world sometime around that date in history. Could this be close to the time when Christ will return with His heavenly armies to defeat the armies of the Antichrist that will be invading the USA and Israel? See my book “The Language of God in Prophecy” (see
http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Prophecy/) to see what Bible prophecies have to say about the United States and Israel before, during, and after the Great Tribulation.
