To my dearly beloved Brethren in Yahshua, and to all who are seeking the truth, let me tell you now that what you are about to read within this article is nothing short of revolutionary. It concerns a profound spiritual and prophetic mystery that is encoded in the Book of Revelation. This mysterious information has been hidden for millennia, but is now being revealed for the edification of God's children in this Last Day. I don't know why God chose to reveal it to me, but He has, and I am humbly grateful for it. But since it is a very new revelation, I am not quite sure how it all connects with current and future prophetic events yet. All I know is that it is important for all believers to know about this revealed mystery, and to search out its still deeper meanings from what I have been shown so far.

In regard to this prophetic mystery, God's Spirit showed me how to discern the first part of it in September of 2011, when I wrote two articles within a couple of weeks of each other that talked about what the Four Corners of the Earth are referring to, and how they are tied to Four Watcher Archangels, to four Cardinal Signs of the Mazzaroth or Zodiac, to the Cherubim and Living Creatures in the Bible, and also to four specific quarters of the world. I've linked to these two articles at the end of this article, and I suggest reading those articles after reading this one in order to get a better understanding of why God led me to discover this new revelation that led me to write this new article.

This article is meant to give an overview of this revolutionary information that God has shown me in relation to my previous understanding of the Four Corners of the Earth. This new knowledge actually shows some of the errors that I made in my previous assumptions while also revealing completely new information. Although my initial conclusions were fairly accurate, I did not have the full understanding of what God was showing me back in 2006 through 2009 - when I was incorporating this type of information into my third book called: “The Language of God in History”. So the articles that I wrote in 2011 reflect my older, somewhat erroneous research that nonetheless shared a good deal of valid information.

The Language of God in History” contains far more than just my initial understanding of the Four Corners of the Earth and the Watcher Angels in charge of them, however. It is a heavily researched, illustrated and indexed 800-page reference book unlike any other on the market today that covers the literal and spiritual history of God's Chosen people Israel, from their earliest beginnings before the Flood to the modern day Israelites: both natural and grafted in. It is available at my POEM Web Site on a CD, as a high-quality paperback, as a digital PDF download, and on Amazon as a Kindle digital book and as a paperback book, along with the other books in the series. See the links at the end of this article for ordering information.

Let's begin with the Book of Revelation, Chapter 4, where there are four Living Creatures positioned around God's Throne in His heavenly throne room, where the 24 Elders are also seated. These creatures are analogous to the four-winged Cherubim that the prophet Ezekiel wrote about, except that the Living Creatures have six wings as opposed to the four wings that Ezekiel's Cherubim had. This is significant - as I will explain a bit later. In the following Scripture quote, I've identified the faces of the Living Creatures with their respective Zodiac Signs:
Revelation 4:6-8 ~ “Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion (LEO), the second living creature like a calf (TAURUS), the third living creature had a face like a man (AQUARIUS), and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle (SCORPIO). 8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within...”
As indicated within the parentheses in the above Scripture, the Four Living Creatures correspond to four equidistant Constellations on the Sun's Ecliptic. Also interesting to note is that they are listed in the order that they would have appeared in 10,000 BC, not as they now appear in the current era. The Vernal or Spring Equinox appeared in the Precessional Epoch of Leo the Lion at the dawn of time, which fell roughly between 10,000 BC and 8,000 BC, so that is why the First Living Creature with the face of a lion is listed first.

Fascinatingly, Leo (rather than Taurus) was considered to be the Last, "Omega" or Ending Sign in the circle of the Zodiac in the Ancient Mazzaroth. In the Gospel in the Stars, it is a symbol for the Tribe of Judah, as well as Yahshua (ie Jesus) as the Lion of Judah coming in Glory as the King of kings to conquer the wicked, and set up His 1,000-year reign from Jerusalem. But it can also be connected to the beginning of time. This alludes to the fact that Yahshua our Messiah is the First and the Last, and the Beginning and the End of all things - just as Christ is referred to in the Book of Revelation several times.

Next, the Second Living Creature with the face of a calf corresponds to Taurus the Bull, which housed the Spring Equinox at the time that Adam and Eve were created. Taurus and its neighboring sign Gemini the Twins governed the lands where mankind first appeared on the Earth, and where the Garden of Eden was located. But today, they are connected to Alaska and Hawaii. This also reveals that Taurus is rightly connected to the Beast from the Sea rather than the Beast from the Earth, as I had previously assumed incorrectly. Or the truth may be that Taurus, whose horns are connected to the patriarch Joseph's two sons Ephraim and Manasseh and the nations connected to them today, actually represents both.

The Third Living Creature with the face of a man corresponds to Aquarius the Water-Bearer. Since the Sun now technically rises in the Sign of Aquarius at dawn on the Spring Equinox, this sign appears eastward on the corresponding map that I will introduce a little later in this article. But at the dawn of time, Leo held that position. Interestingly, this means that the Precessional Age of Aquarius, which is tied to the Tribe of Reuben, and was tied to the Tribe of Joseph will govern the next 2,000 years of human history. This time period will include the Millennial Rule of Christ, and the first 1,000 years of history in the New Heaven and New Earth.

Finally, the Fourth Living Creature with the face of an eagle corresponds to Scorpio the Scorpion, and is tied to the Tribe of Dan. There is a three-fold reason why Scorpio is represented with an Eagle's face instead of the face of a Scorpion. First of all, Scorpio signifies the wicked actions of the Devil against the sons and daughters of the Living God Yahweh - those who are the spiritual brothers and sisters of His Son Yahshua. Since it signifies wickedness at its worst, it will not be represented in the sky of the New Heaven and Earth, which will be recreated without sin or corruption.

In the New Heaven, Scorpio will literally be taken out of the Zodiac and replaced with the symbol of the Eagle, whose wings signify God's loving protection of His born-again spiritual children. In fact, the replacement for the Scorpion with an Eagle could be allegorically referring to the constellation sign of Aquila the Eagle. Aquila the Eagle is currently a decan sign of Capricorn the Goat-Fish, which signifies the salvation and deliverance of Noah and his sons within the Ark during the Great Flood. Capricorn is also tied to the Tribe of Gad.

Curiously, the symbol of the Eagle in Aquila is also tied directly to the National Seals of both Mexico and the United States of America, which both prominently feature proud and mighty eagles. To see how North America is tied to Bible Prophecy, and to many of the events of the Great Tribulation, I've included this revised and updated excerpt that originally appeared in my article entitled: "WHAT THE REVELATION 12 SIGN OF SEPTEMBER 2017 REALLY MEANS!", which is linked to in the preceding text link, and at the end of this article:

~ Beginning of Article Excerpt ~

Mexico's Great Seal Featuring a Brown Eagle
The 1,260 days of the True Church's sojourn in the wilderness began to end when the Reformation started by Martin Luther in 1517 began about 1,260 years later, and the Woman or True Church also found a way to protect herself for a time, times and half a time - which could potentially mean three and a half Jubilees or 350 years in the WILDERNESS that once spanned almost the entire continent of North America. This could well be signified by the TWO wings of the Great Eagles on Mexico's National Seal and the obverse side of the US Great Seal.

Indeed, America became a great haven for Jews, Protestants, and Orthodox Christians to dwell in relative peace with their mutual arch-enemy, the Roman Catholic Church. This happened about 350 years before 1970, the benchmark year when the Christian foundation of America was suddenly under constant siege by the secular cultural establishment and the media. In fact, the first Christian Pilgrims established the Plymouth Colony in what is now Massachusetts in America in 1620, which was exactly 350 years before 1970. Incidentally, a Blood Moon Tetrad on Jewish Feasts occurred around the time Columbus discovered America in 1492, just as a similar Blood Moon Tetrad occurred on Jewish Feasts in 2014 and 2015.

Though the Rapture did not occur in 2017, as the Sign of the Woman Clothed with the Sun that appeared in Virgo on September 23rd seemed to have suggested, it has a secondary application due to the statement in Revelation 12 that the Dragon pursued the Woman and she had to find shelter in the wilderness. Though it applied to Christians with different views than the Roman Catholics in the past, in the future it may signify many lukewarm or apostate believers who believe, but are asleep and are not watching for Yahshua's return,

These once lukewarm believers will be left behind to be refined in the fire of the Great Tribulation. At that time, these beleaguered believers will have to flee into the wilderness and the mountains of the world, and they will be schooled there in the things of God by the 144,000 chosen saints of Israel that will be called to help them. Those that do not find shelter will either die of exposure as God pours out successive levels of His Wrath on this world, or at the hands of the Nephilim hybrid beasts and wicked people under control of the Antichrist. Even those that find adequate places to hide will still likely suffer great hardship and deprivation, and will be refined in the fire of tribulation until they are made perfect in Christ.

Fascinatingly, Mexico's Seal - with the brown eagle wrestling a serpent that it is about to eat - is tied to the Constellation Scorpio, which is to be depicted by the symbol of an Eagle instead of a Scorpion in eternity, and which has Ophiuchus as a decan (i.e. subordinate but related) sign. As shown in the illustration I made below, Ophiuchus signifies Yahshua and His Church as the Strong Man wrestling with, and holding back the evil Serpent connected to Satan and his demons:

WHICH ARE TIED TO MEXICO'S GREAT SEA

Meanwhile, the US Great Seal is also tied to several constellations that have a strong connection to the spread of Christianity and the fate of all believers in the End Times. The Illustration below from my book “The Language of God in Prophecy” shows this correlation, with Aquila the Eagle constellation having a direct tie to the Bald Eagle on the US Great Seal, as well as on Mexico's Great Seal. Note that the constellation called Cygnus the Swan, which is also known as the Great Northern Cross, has a nebula in the swan's tail or head of the Cross that is in the shape of North America, and that is NOT a coincidence, but has great prophetic significance!

US GREAT SEAL'S EAGLE IMAGERY TIES IT
TO THE CONSTELLATIONS CYGNUS, LYRA AND AQUILA
As noted in the illustration above, the constellation known as Sagitta the Arrow is identified as Satan's Arrow aimed at America, since America has been invaded by many enemies, and is due to be invaded by armies attached to the United Nations from all over the world. But that is in relation to the Great Tribulation. In the past, Sagitta signified America's might as a Military Super Power, which is signified on the US Great Seal by the bundle of 13 arrows in the Bald Eagle's left talons.

This Great Seal is depicted on the US One Dollar Bill, and it has been tied to the New World Order, the Freemasons, and the Illuminati in modern times. However, these symbols all had a godly Star Gospel connection before the 20th Century, and the Great Seal was designed in the 19th Century. Incidentally, the final design for the Great Seal of the USA was laid out by a man that had NO connection to the Freemasons whatsoever. Furthermore, the Gospel in the Stars was written and given meaning by Yahshua, who created the Universe for Our Heavenly Father in His Preincarnate state.

FULL COLOR RENDITION OF THE US GREAT SEAL FRONT AND BACK

Besides featuring a majestic Bald Eagle with a 13 star "New Constellation" in the shape of a hexagon or Jewish Star (which is NOT tied to any Pagan deity, but is a symbol for a circular menorah, as shown in the illustration) on the front of the Seal, the Great Seal of the United States also features a 13 tiered Pyramid representing the Six Days of Creation, the Six 1,000-year long Great Days that have passed since the creation of Adam and Eve, and the final 1,000-year Great Day, which is the Millennial Rule of Christ that will fulfill God's Great Sabbath Day of Rest.

As a symbol of the span of God's First Creation, the 13-tiered Pyramid is tied to Christ as the First and the Last and the Beginning and the End. It is also tied to the Great Pyramid and Great Sphinx in Egypt that I believe may have been built by Enoch's descendants before the Great Flood, as the historian Josephs intimated. Though it is a persistent but erroneous rumor, the Giza and Dahshur Pyramids in Egypt were not built by the sons of Cain or the Nephilim. The Nephilim are considered to be human - angel hybrid beings. They are the demons of today masquerading in the guise of aliens. As explained in Genesis 6 and the Book of 1 Enoch, Nephilim demonic spirits are tied to the Serpent seed line that came about when the Fallen Angels married human women from the line of Cain, and evil Nephilim giants were born to them.

As the preceding article excerpt clearly shows, North America figures prominently in the Star Gospel as both a symbol of an actual safe haven where good has flourished, but that has been overrun by, and practically defeated by evil.  It is also a location where evil will ultimately be overcome and defeated by the goodness and courage of some of the left behind saints that live in North America, as well as the power, protection, and mercy given to these people by the loving Father God they worship. It also will likely be the scene of some major battles between good and evil at the time of the Great Tribulation.

The preceding excerpt also shows that God has set aside 13,000 years for the completion of this current form of His Creation, in which the perfection and goodness of the original creation have been overcome by wickedness, rebellion, and evil of all kinds. In addition, it shows that two major nations the now call North America home figure prominently in the prophetic events that will see all this wickedness reversed, destroyed and replaced with goodness. This will happen after the Great Tribulation, which will be followed by the blessed age of the Kingdom of God during the Millennial Rule of Christ from Jerusalem.

Tied t ory, each of the Four Living Creatures has eyes all around, and these eyes signify God's ability to see the passage of time in every past, present or future age and location all at once. Each of the Four Living Creatures also has six wings, and each wing represents the passage of time through one millennium, or a 1,000 year long Great Day of the Lord. This means that each of the four 6-winged Living Creatures signifies the heavens that appear 6,000 years AFTER the Fall of Adam and Eve, which is this CURRENT TIME in History, whereas Ezekiel's 4-winged Cherubim (See Ezekiel 1:10-25) depict a point 4,000 years after Adam and Eve fell into sin. The 4th Great Day was important because most of the history of the Kingdom of Israel occurred in the 4th Millennium after Adam and Eve fell, and Yahshua was born in Bethlehem at the end of the 4th Millennium!

Each of the four faces on the Living Creatures also represents four equidistant constellations among the Twelve Signs of the Mazzaroth or Zodiac that the Sun passes through each day. These four of the Twelve Sun Signs that are tied to the Cherubim and Living Creatures have the distinction of being tied to four equidistant points at the Earth's Equator in two different epochs of time, and these points are also intimately tied to the Four Winds and the Four Corners of the Earth that are spoken of in the Bible.

Now, all this preceding information about the Living Creatures takes on an even more significant prophetic meaning in the Book of Revelation, Chapter 6. There, each of these Living Creatures is revealed to be in charge of announcing one of the first Four Seal Judgments that govern the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Since the Living Creatures are tied to four regions of the world, they suggest that the region of the world that they are connected to will experience the judgments attached to each one of the Four Horsemen first - before these judgments spread out to other parts of the world.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Tied to the Living Creatures
This understanding of the Four Living Creatures is nothing short of revolutionary in Bible Prophecy, and it is meant to show believers which region of the world is connected to each of the Four Horsemen. To show the connection of the Four Horseman with the Four Corners of the Earth, I will use the picture language that God devised, which is not a regular language of words, but a hidden language of symbols, and is directly tied to understanding Bible Prophecy. When this Divine Language is utilized and understood, it helps to unlock the meaning of the highly symbolic Bible prophecies connected to the Great Tribulation.

First, we need to identify how God views the East and West Compass directions of the Earth. But, before I go on, let me address those who believe that the Earth is flat before my coming discourse upsets them. I ask those of you who view the Earth as flat to please humor my belief that the Earth has a spherical shape like the Earth's Moon. Also, please ruminate on the following facts while you do:

Did you know that the Star patterns of the Zodiac Signs are REVERSED when you cross the Earth's Equator into any place in the Southern Hemisphere? Indeed, if you view the sky from any Southern Hemisphere vantage point, ALL the Zodiac signs are literally upside down in comparison to how they look from the Northern Hemisphere! In addition, did you know that water going down a drain rotates in the OPPOSITE direction in the Southern Hemisphere than it does in the Northern Hemisphere? These are clear indications that the Earth is a sphere, and not a flat, convex or concave shape. But I won't censure you if you choose to ignore these salient facts. Just please extend the same courtesy to me.

Using the theory that the Earth is a sphere, the Four Corners of the Earth are connected to Longitudinal Meridian lines running from the North Pole to the South Pole of the Earth and the rotation of the Earth, which determines where the Sun rises and sets in the East and the West at the Earth's Equator. For purposes of showing the four equidistant points along the Equator that are attached to the Four Corners of the Earth, I will use an Equal Projection World Map. The following full-color world map graphic was first presented in black and white in my book “The Language of God in History”:

This map shows the Zodiac Signs connected to the Four Corners of the Earth as they looked about 4,000 years before Adam and Eve were created. This was when the Sun rose in the Sign of Leo the Lion of Judah at the Spring or Vernal Equinox, as shown in the following celestial sign graphic:

Spring Equinox in Leo the Lion Circa 8990 BC - Click Image To Enlarge
Due to the phenomenon called the Precession of the Equinoxes, the Sun rose in the Sign of Leo on the Spring or Vernal Equinox every year for 2,160 years before moving to a neighboring Zodiac Sign. In fact, the Sun will appear to slowly move BACKWARD through one constellation of the Zodiac on the Sun's ecliptic every 2,160 years due to the odd tilt of the Earth on its North-South axis. Therefore, if we go forward 10,000 years from the time when the Sun rose in the Sign of Leo, the Sun will have moved backward through four Zodiac Signs to rise in the Sign of Aquarius. As a result, we would have to alter the Equal Projection World Map in order to represent the location of the Four Corners of the Earth in this current age.

But, before advancing with more new information in this article, it would be expedient for me and beneficial to you, my dear reader, if I present another short excerpt taken from my article entitled: “A Study of the Four Holy Watchers Appointed Over the Four Corners and Winds of the Earth”, which I published on September 11th, 2011. That was exactly ten years after the destruction of the Twin Towers in New York City, which marked the beginning of the transition period before the beginning of the 7th Great Day since the Fall of Adam and Eve fell. We are still in this transition period, but 2010 marked a special 7-year countdown to 2017, which is the 70th year since Israel became a nation, and very likely marks the year of the Rapture. However, keep in mind that, according to my calculations, 2017 or the Jewish Year 5777 will not end until Nissan 1 of 5778, which will fall on March 17th, 2018. This is because Nissan 1 is New Year's Day on God's Sacred Calendar:

~ Beginning of Article Excerpt ~

In relation to the four angels that govern the four corners of the Earth, the ancient Persians recognized four bright stars as “Royal Stars” or “Watcher Stars.” Since the myriads of stars in the Universe are allegorically connected to the souls of angels and human beings, it seems logical that the four Watcher angels that govern the four corners and winds of the Earth and watch over the affairs of mankind would also be associated with these Watcher Stars.

Following are lists of the four Watcher Stars with their modern and ancient Persian names, Zodiac Signs, and association with the quarterly division of the Solar Year in various epochs. The first epoch would have been at the beginning of Creation - when the Spring Equinox was in the Zodiac sign of Leo:

Circa 10,500 BC, the Age of Leo:
1. Regulus (Venant - Watcher of the East) LEO - Vernal or Spring Equinox
2. Antares (Satevis - Watcher of the South) SCORPIO - Summer Solstice
3. Fomalhaut (Haftorang - Watcher of the West) AQUARIUS - Autumnal Equinox
4. Aldebaran (Tascheter - Watcher of the North) TAURUS - Winter Solstice

The Watcher Stars appear in the four Cardinal Zodiac Signs that marked each of the four quarters of the heavens and seasons of the year at the beginning of the six 1,000-year long Great Days that God utilized to create the world and Universe as we know it. These Cardinal Zodiac Signs would have housed the Sun on the equinoxes and solstices for 2,160 years, or from approximately 10,500 BC to 8,300 BC. Then the Solar Equinoxes and Solstices would have moved through two more 2,160-year Ages into neighboring signs until around 4150 BC, which was just before the time of the creation of Adam and Eve.

At that time, Taurus the Bull was the Zodiac Sign that the Spring Equinox appeared in. For this reason, the same signs that appeared in the Equinox and Solstice positions at the dawn of time were performing the same function but in a different order, as follows:

Circa 4150 BC, the Age of Taurus:
1. Aldebaran (Tascheter - Watcher of the East) TAURUS - Vernal or Spring Equinox
2. Regulus (Venant - Watcher of the South) LEO - Summer Solstice
3. Antares (Satevis - Watcher of the West) SCORPIO - Autumnal Equinox
4. Fomalhaut (Haftorang - Watcher of the North) AQUARIUS - Winter Solstice

Since then, 6000 years of human history have passed, and we are now entering a special cosmic time when the same four Zodiac Signs that governed the equinoxes and solstices at the dawn of time are doing so again. But this time, it is in reverse of their positions at the moment when God began His act of Creation, with the Zodiac Sign of Leo governing the Autumn Equinox rather than the Spring Equinox:

Circa 2000 AD, the Age of Aquarius:
1. Fomalhaut (Haftorang - Watcher of the East) AQUARIUS - Vernal or Spring Equinox
2. Aldebaran (Tascheter - Watcher of the South) TAURUS - Summer Solstice
3. Regulus (Venant - Watcher of the West) LEO - Autumnal Equinox
4. Antares (Satevis - Watcher of the North) SCORPIO - Winter Solstice

~ End of Article Excerpt ~

The Zodiac Signs governing the Solar Equinoxes and Solstices mark the Four Corner of the Earth. The preceding excerpt shows how the signs connected to the Earth at the beginning of time and at the end of time are completely reversed, as my new Four Corner World Map presented a bit further on in this article shows. This is in keeping with a prophetic principle called “The Reversal of History”, which I noted in my book “The Language of God in Prophecy”. Please read the article linked to below to learn more about this amazing principle:

REVERSING HISTORY, AND GOD'S DESIRE TO
END THE VIOLENCE FROM BEFORE THE FLOOD! 

Now that we have the coordinates of the Four Zodiac Signs attached to the Four Living Creatures firmly in place on the preceding map, we need to look at the following verses in Revelation Chapter 6 describing the opening of the first Four of the Seven Seal Judgments to find out which Horseman is assigned to which Living Creature, and to which element and region of the world they are connected to today:
Revelation 6:1-8 ~ First Seal: The Conqueror
“Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. 
Second Seal: Conflict on Earth
3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.” 4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword. 
Third Seal: Scarcity on Earth
5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”
Fourth Seal: Widespread Death on Earth
7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.”
In Revelation 6:1-2, the First Living Creature with the face of the Lion connected to Leo the Lion and the King of the Beasts, and the Creature connected to the element of FIRE speaks first, introducing the opening of the First Seal attached to the Rider on the White Horse. As such, this is a clue that the Rider on the White Horse is to be associated with the Tribe of Judah, as well as with the spread of more arid and desolate regions on the Earth via wildfires, explosions, volcanic eruptions and solar heat.

I also personally believe that this Rider on the White Horse can be directly associated with the Zodiac Sign of Sagittarius the Archer, which depicts Christ coming to conquer the wicked at the Battle of Armageddon. If this Rider is viewed as a depiction of the Antichrist spreading a false gospel that will capture the imaginations of the wicked prior to Christ's Second Coming, however, it strongly suggests that the Antichrist will be a Jew from the Tribe of Judah that lives somewhere in the Americas (like Jared Kushner!?).

Likewise, in Revelation 6:3-4, the Second Living Creature with the face of the Calf connected to Taurus the Bull or King of the Earth is associated with the element of EARTH, land, and soil, as well as to the Rider on the Fiery Red Horse, which is connected to constellations of Taurus the Bull and Perseus the Breaker. This Rider denotes the destruction of the Earth via many terrible shootings and bombings that will spill much red human blood, destroy much vegetation, and burn down many homes all over the surface of the Earth's continents, and which will lead to the cataclysmic nuclear fires and destruction of World War III.

In Revelation 6:5-6, the Third Living Creature is connected to Aquarius the Water-Bearer and is associated with the element of WATER as well as the Rider on the Black Horse. This indicates that this rider is connected to diseases that result from the pollution of the water in the oceans and major waterways of the world, such as the Gulf Oil Disaster of April 2010 that affected the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, and the Fukushima Nuclear Plant failure in March of 2011 and the subsequent leaching of highly toxic radiation into the Pacific Ocean. Both events have led to much sea life mutation, and to the death of all kinds of sea life, especially millions upon millions of fish.

Finally, in Revelation 6:7-8, the Fourth Living Creature is connected to Scorpio the Scorpion that is to be replaced with the Eagle - a bird that eats scorpions and serpents. The Eagle is the King of the Birds, and it is connected to the element of AIR, and these are associated with the Rider on the Pale Horse. This suggests that this rider is connected to the pollution of the air and the destruction of the protective atmosphere surrounding our Earth by man-made pollution such as chem-trails and nuclear and conventional explosions, as well as divinely sent curses such as cataclysmic, powerful Solar Winds, celestial bombardments, and massive Solar Flares that are known as Coronal Mass Ejections, or CMEs.

Now that we have the coordinates of the Four Zodiac Signs attached to the Four Living Creatures firmly in place, and the Seals and Horsemen that are attached to each Living Creature are known, I could create this absolutely amazing graphic, which is presented to you below this paragraph. With this graphic as my inspiration, I can now make some interesting assumptions. First of all, it seems that the Four Corners and Winds of the Earth are connected to the Four Cherubim and Four Living Creatures in the Bible. Specifically, I believe that I have unlocked the following prophetic secrets:

The Four Corners of The Earth Connected to the Four Living Creatures
(RIGHT CLICK IMAGE AND OPEN IN NEW TAB TO SEE ENLARGED VIEW)

THIS IMAGE WAS CORRECTED ON 15 FEB. 2020
1. The First Corner of the Earth is connected to the First Living Creature that is aligned with Leo the Lion, and the Americas. The First Corner is Connected to the Autumn Equinox in this Epoch 
2. The Second Corner of the Earth is connected to the Second Living Creature that is aligned with Taurus the Bull, and Polynesia and Micronesia. The  Second Corner is Connected to the Summer Solstice in this Epoch 
3. The Third Corner of the Earth is connected to the Third Living Creature that is aligned with Aquarius the Water-Bearer, and Russia, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The Third Corner is Connected to the Spring Equinox in this Epoch 
4. The Fourth Corner of the Earth is connected to the Fourth Living Creature that is aligned with Scorpio the Scorpion (that will one day be replaced with the Eagle), and Europe, Israel, the Middle-East and Africa. The Fourth Corner is Connected to the Winter Solstice in this Epoch
Fascinatingly, as I already mentioned, the association of Aquarius and Pisces with Asia today and the Americas in the past points directly to the Fukushima Nuclear disaster in Asia and the Gulf Oil Disaster in the Americas as the leading causes of the world's ocean pollution that is attached to the Rider on the Black Horse. It is also interesting to note here that most skin cancers turn black in color, and crude oil is black in color like the Black Horse. But before I get into more correlations like this that show that the first 5 Seals of Judgment on the Revelation Scroll have likely been opened by Yahshua, our Passover Lamb of God, I wanted to address the final portion of this mystery in the Book of Revelation that I am revealing in this article. This portion of it is revealed at the very beginning of Revelation Chapter 7:
Revelation 7:1-4 ~ “After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” 4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed...”
Now, before I discuss “the Four Angels standing at the Four Corners of the Earth”, let me state something that has to do with the chronology of the Book of Revelation. Based on my new findings as stated earlier, it is my personal belief that the first Four Seals of the Seven Seals on the Heavenly Scroll that only Yahshua could open were opened in 2011, which began a seven-year period of Judgment tied to the 9 Hallel Psalms 110 through 118, in which Psalm 110 and 118 act like a frame around the seven Psalms in between, which are Psalms 111 through 117. These special Jewish Liturgical Psalms are directly and prophetically tied to the years 2010 through 2018, and this series of 9 Psalms can be prophetically tied to the nine lamps on a Chanukah Menorah. What's more, the 27 Books of the New Testament form a triple Chanukah Menorah Pattern (3 X 9 = 27), with the Book of Revelation being the 27th and last book (Note: 2 + 7 = 9, the Number of Judgment!).

Unfortunately, the seven years tied to Psalms 111 through 117 have already elapsed, and I originally thought that these Psalms and years were tied to the actual seven years of the final Great Tribulation period. But though I obviously was mistaken in that regard, it still appears that they were tied to seven significant years leading up to the final Great Tribulation, which I now believe will begin before the end of July in 2020, and which is 3-1/2 years - not 7 years long. Yahshua fulfilled the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week, and the scriptures confirm it by saying that the Great Tribulation is only 3-1/2 years at least seven times using references to 42 months, 1,260 days, and a time, times and half a time. (For 42 months, see Rev. 11:2, 13:5; for 1,260 days, see Rev. 11:3, 12:6; for "a time, times and half a time", see Daniel 7:25, 12:7, Rev. 12:14).

Now, in regard to the first four verses of Revelation Chapter 7, I believe that this is describing the Rapture of the Church and the special selection and marking of the 144,000 Witnesses, which I examined closely in 2008 (See my 2008 article about the 144,000 HERE). These Witnesses, which are taken from the natural and grated-in members of the Tribes of Israel, will not just be resurrected and glorified evangelists after the Rapture that will take place before they are chosen, but mighty and invincible warriors that will protect the once lukewarm believers that will repent and be born again right after the Rapture. I also think that, contrary to popular belief, the Rapture is also depicted in Matthew 24:30-31.

More on this connection will be revealed a bit later. But for now, the important thing to grasp here is that the Rapture has not occurred yet, even though the first five of the Seven Seal Judgments very likely have been opened and are now BEGINNING to have a global affect. Furthermore, the Book of Revelation tells us that - when the Sixth Seal is opened - the Great Tribulation will begin with the Wrath of God being poured out all over the world, and since born-again believers in Christ are not subject to God's Wrath (as per Romans 5:8-10, 1 Thessalonians 1:8-10 and 1 Thess. 5:8-10), the Rapture should occur before these cataclysmic events unfold. The opening of the Sixth Seal will result in a series of cataclysms including great cosmic disturbances and a massive meteor storm, a great earthquake, and a pole shift and shaking of the Earth that will cause massive destruction globally. This pole shift is described in Revelation 6:12-17 and Isaiah 24:17-23. I had a very vivid vision of these cataclysmic events in 2011 and most recently wrote about how earth-shattering and horrific they will be in the following article:

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 07, 2013
YAHWEH GOD’S WRATH SENT FROM HEAVEN 
TO EARTH TIED TO REVELATION 6 AND 8!

In a matter of hours or days after the onset of these terrible worldwide cataclysmic events spurred on by God's Wrath against the wicked, I believe that over one-third of all the people left on the Earth after the Rapture will be killed. Indeed, what many believers do not wish to accept is that - at the time of the Rapture - Yahshua's angels are likely not going to take more than about 225 million believers home to Glory, as per words of knowledge I've received from the Lord on several occasions (See Article Linked To HERE). The reason for this is because there is such widespread apostasy, heresy, and lukewarmness in so many churches around the world today. Sadly, this means that many halfhearted, unfaithful believers are going to have to live through the Great Tribulation, and many of them will suffer terribly and die before Yahshua returns to fight the enemies of the Church at the Battle of Armageddon, as described in Revelation Chapter 19.

When the Rapture takes place, “the Four Angels standing at the Four Corners of the Earth” in Revelation 7:1 will likely be in charge of directing the other angels that will seal the foreheads of the 144,000 and gather them up with the other saints, although the 144,000 will return to the Earth shortly thereafter to serve God as warriors, guides and preachers to the heavily persecuted new saints on the Earth at the time. Furthermore, these four archangels that are associated with the Corners of the Earth are directly connected to the Four Cherubim or Four Living Creatures found in Ezekiel and Revelation in the Bible, and the 144,000 will likely be under the command of these four archangels.

In my previous studies, I discovered the names of the Archangels connected to the Living Creatures - as the following article excerpt will explain. Like a previous excerpt in this article, this new excerpt was copied directly from my article entitled: “A Study of the Four Holy Watchers Appointed Over the Four Corners and Winds of the Earth”:

~ Beginning of Article Excerpt ~

The four Watchers or angels that govern the four corners and winds of the Earth are named in the Book of 1 Enoch as Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Phanuel:
1 Enoch 40:8-11 ~ “After that I asked the angel of peace who went with me, who showed me everything that is hidden: ‘Who are these four presences which I have seen and whose words I have heard and written down?’ And he said to me: ‘This first is Michael, the merciful and long-suffering: and the second, who is set over all the diseases and all the wounds of the children of men, is Raphael: and the third, who is set over all the powers, is Gabriel: and the fourth, who is set over the repentance unto hope of those who inherit eternal life is named Phanuel’ And these are the four angels of the Lord of Spirits and the four voices I heard in those days.” 
These four angels may be the spirits that are directing four heavenly chariots in a vision given to the prophet Zechariah:
Zechariah 6:1-5 ~ “Then I turned and raised my eyes and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze. With the first chariot were red horses, with the second chariot black horses, with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot dappled horses—strong steeds. Then I answered and said to the angel who talked with me, ‘What are these, my lord?’ And the angel answered and said to me, ‘These are four spirits of heaven, who go out from their station before the Lord of all the earth.’”
Intriguingly, the four spirits of heaven identified by Zechariah bear a resemblance to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. However, the four chariots of Zechariah’s vision are being driven by invisible hands and more than one horse is pulling each chariot. This makes it unlikely that the Four Horsemen associated with the first Four Seal Judgments in the Book of Revelation are the same as the four spirits directing the chariots in Zechariah’s vision. However, it is possible that the Four Horsemen are subordinate angels under the direction of one of the four spirits or Watchers that are concerned with humanity.

Because the four Watcher angels mentioned in the Book of 1 Enoch deal with the affairs of mankind, they may be the leaders in charge of the angels that the Bible indicates will gather the elect from the four winds or corners of the Earth as part of the First Resurrection:
Matthew 24:30-31 ~ “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
Note that the Sign of the Son of Man will appear when the angels of the four winds or directions go to gather God’s people. Therefore, this passage of Matthew may not be a reference to Yahshua’s Second Coming to do battle on the Earth at Armageddon or the Valley of Megiddo at all. Rather, it may depict what will happen when Yahshua and His angels appear in the heavens at the Rapture to gather His elect saints that are to become His Bride.
~ End of Article Excerpt ~ 

This excerpt shows that four mighty archangels govern the Four Corners and Winds of the Earth, and these archangels will be the ones in charge of gathering up all the saints in the Rapture. These four archangels are as follows:
1. Archangel of the First Corner: Michael, the merciful and long-suffering warrior of the Lord
2. Archangel of the Second Corner: Raphael, who governs the healing of all diseases and wounds
3. Archangel of the Third Corner: Gabriel, who governs all the spiritual principalities and powers
4. Archangel of the Fourth Corner: Phanuel, who governs the power of repentance that leads to eternal life
These four archangels govern all the affairs of mankind on the Earth, but we are not to worship them. Instead, we make our appeals to our heavenly Father God, and then He directs the actions of these four archangels under His charge. This is because the angels that are loyal to God alone will do nothing without His authority and command. On my new Four Corners World Map, I have listed these four archangels at the Equator line under the corners they should be associated with. However, since these angels each govern specific areas concerning ALL of mankind, they are not restricted to any one corner, but they work in unison, and on a global scale.

As I already mentioned, these four archangels - Micheal, Gabriel, Raphael, and Phanuel - are likely to be in charge of coordinating the Rapture of the saints at the four corners of the world at the divinely specified time. This will be shortly after the Sign of the Son of Man appears in the heavens surrounding our Earth. Although many of us thought that the Sign of the Son of Man was tied to the Giza Christ Angles Sign on September 20th, and/or the Revelation 12 Sign of the Woman Clothed with the Sun on September 23rd and 24th, 2017, and that the Rapture might happen then, it obviously has not. But there is no reason to lose hope! We need to keep watching, just as Yahshua asked us to, and we need to make sure that we do not fall asleep! Stay wakeful and watchful, for we are definitely in the season of our Bridegroom's return!

Another thing that I find amazing about this Four Corners Key to understanding the Book of Revelation that God gave me, and I am now revealing is that the Great American Solar Eclipse occurred in conjunction with the bright "King Star" called Regulus in the Sign of Leo the Lion, and the map shows that the Americas are also governed by the corner of the world connected to Leo the Lion in this epoch or era of time. Furthermore, Regulus is the "Watcher Star" that governs the corner of the world connected to the Americas in this epoch! Below is the graphic I created to analyze this amazing Solar Eclipse. Please read it to get a better understanding of what that Solar Eclipse means in Bible Prophecy:

The Great American Solar Eclipse of August 21st, 2017
What's even more amazing is that Leo is currently connected to the Autumn months, and the Christ Angles Sign and Revelation 12 Sign of September 20th through 24th, 2017 occurred at the very beginning of Autumn in 2017, and both Signs prominently included the Sign of Leo and the Star Regulus as they unfolded! In fact, since the Autumn Equinox now occurs in Leo, but at a point very near to Virgo, Virgo also has a connection to the autumn, and Virgo also figured prominently in the Revelation 12 Sign.

Fascinatingly, Virgo is the first or Alpha (Aleph) Sign of the circle or wheel of the Zodiac, and Leo is the last or Omega (Tav) Sign of the Zodiac, and together they proclaim that Yahshua is the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, and the Alpha and the Omega! Indeed, for Yahshua had His beginning as our Redeemer as the baby born to a virgin in a sukkah or booth, and His final or ending position as the Lord of the Earth and King of the Universe sitting on His rightful throne in Jerusalem, and still later in the New Jerusalem! Furthermore, in connection to the idea of the reversal of history that I have already revealed, Yahshua created the Universe and the Earth when the Sun rose in the Sign of Leo a little over 12,000 years ago!

But that's not all! Leo is also the Sign that is connected to the element of FIRE, and what happened in connection with the Solar Eclipse of August 21st, 2017 is that there were widespread and devastatingly bad wildfires all over the Earth at that time, especially in the western regions of the United States that are directly within the 30 degrees that mark the Leo Meridian on the Earth! Look at my Four Corners Map and you will see the proof!

Furthermore, there has been terrible flooding all over the Earth for the past few years. Most notable is the terrible and deadly floods that inundated China in June of 2016. According to the report about it on Wikipedia under "2016 China Floods", more than 300 people were killed in these terrible floods:
"In mid-June 2016, heavy rainfall began across southern China, triggering deadly floods. Over the following month, additional rain events exacerbated flooding and affected more of the country. Areas along the Yangtze River and Huai River have been particularly hard-hit.[2] An estimated 32 million people across 26 provinces were affected and more than 300 people were killed."
Fascinatingly, China is governed by the Aquarius Meridian, and the Sign of Aquarius is partly meant to be a symbol of the Great Flood Noah! In addition, Aquarius now governs the Spring Equinox, and the most recent floods that did the worst damage in China occurred between the 14th and 20th of June in 2016, which was the last week of Spring - BEFORE the Summer Solstice occurred on June 21st! Not only that, but the Black Horse is connected to the Third Corner of the Earth that is connected to the Aquarius and Pisces Meridians that now cover Asia, and the Black Horse governs deadly pestilences and famines connected to food scarcity, which has occurred due to severe flooding. In April and May of 2017, bad floods also affected Australia, China, and Indonesia, which all fall in the Aquarius Meridian! There were also terrible floods in the United States, Columbia and Argentina in the spring of 2017 in the END Times, and the Americas were governed by the Aquarius Meridian at the BEGINNING of Creation.

Feb. 16th, 2020 UPDATE: During the 2019-2020 Winter Period in the Northern Hemisphere (which is the Summer period in the Southern Hemisphere), there has been terrible cataclysmic storms and flooding in many diverse places, as well as widespread destructive wildfires burning in various countries. The Amazon jungles in South America were burning at an unprecedented rate in 2019 and large sections of Australia were decimated by huge, uncontrolled wildfires from late 2019 through January 2020.

In fact, for the past 10 years (which my current article LINKED TO HERE shows may be connected to a ten year tribulation period that will end in 2020 followed by the Great Tribulation), the rate of cataclysmic floods, earthquakes, storms, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, pestilences and outbreaks of violent unrest have been escalating at an unprecedented rate! There is also a deadly pestilence outbreak of what has been dubbed the Corona Virus in China that began in January of 2020 that has infected many thousands, killed at least a thousand people, SHOWS NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN, and has already begun to spread globally! END OF UPDATE

So, in my humble opinion, I believe that these global, catastrophic, weather-related events are all connected to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and are being orchestrated by none other than Yahshua, Who is the First and the Last, and the BEGINNING and the END Who is the Only One who can open the Seals. So in my opinion, it appears that Yahshua has already opened the first Four Seals that govern the plagues associated with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as well as the Fifth Seal, which is connected to the slaughter of many saints just before the Rapture occurs.

Blood Moon Over Orion, 12-21-2010
Ominously, the Fifth Seal was likely opened with the start of the Radical Islamic rebellions that began to occur all over the Middle East in late 2010. These Radical Islamic uprisings have been dubbed the "Arab Spring", and they began in December of 2010 with a revolt in Tunisia. Fascinatingly, the first of three Blood Moons that marked the year 2011 as significant occurred on the Winter Solstice, which was on December 21st, 2010. That Blood Moon occurred directly over the sword tip of the constellation of Orion, which is connected by its belt stars to the Three large Old Kingdom Pyramids at Giza in Egypt. These Pyramids were built to mimic the stars in Orion's Belt by the Sethite Astronomers before the Great Flood - in the spot where the prophet Enoch was translated into Heaven - and they are tied to many End Time Signs through their association with the Belt of Orion. After all, Orion represents Yahshua as a mighty Warrior Prince coming to destroy the armies of the Antichrist that will have surrounded Jerusalem at the end of the Great Tribulation. Sadly, there will be many Muslims in those armies that wish to destroy the people of God gathered for safety in Jerusalem at Yahshua's Second Coming.

In addition to the Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse that day, a Grand Cross formed by no less than 8 prominent celestial bodies in the heavens, and which targeted ALL FOUR of the Major Cardinal Signs attached to the Four Corners of the Earth, occurred on the same night as the Eclipse! This Grand Cross was also targeting the Great Pyramid at Giza, which is tied to Orion because the Great Pyramid represents the star named "Al Nitak" in Orion's Belt, and Orion is a decan or subordinate sign to the constellation of Taurus. It's also interesting to note here that the Great Pyramid is filled with prophetic symbolism, including a clear connection to the Body and Bride of Christ. It is also symbolic of the shape of the New Jerusalem, which will be the Bride's everlasting residence that is built by God in Heaven, but that will rest on the New Earth in eternity.

Taurus is directly tied to Yahshua as a symbol of the blood sacrifice of a bull that was given for sin on an altar outside the camp of Israel (or outside the walls of Jerusalem). Since Yahshua's blood sacrifice on the Cross outside the walls of the city of Jerusalem is a key to our everlasting Salvation, it is entirely fitting that this sacrificial Bull in Heaven marks one of the Four Corners of Heaven that was mirrored on the Earth over Egypt at the dawn of human history, when the Sun rose in Taurus on the Spring Equinox. This was during the Age of Taurus, which fell between 4320 and 2160 BC. See the illustration of this amazing Grand Cross that occurred on December 21st, 2010 below:

Grand Cross In The Heavens Targeting the Four Corners of the World on 12-21-2010
This Grand Cross STRONGLY SUGGESTS that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse began their rides in December of 2010. I also believe that the onslaught of the judgments associated with these Seals picked up speed after then Mayan Epoch End Date of December 21st, 2012, when a Sign that I call the ANTI PEACE SIGN of 2012 appeared in the heavens surrounding the Earth. The Grand Cross on December 21st, 2010 is tied to the year attached to Psalm 110, the beginning frame around Hallel Psalms 111 through 117, which were attached to the years 2011 through 2017. This is also the Hallel Psalm where God the Father declares to His Son:

~*~ Psalm 110:1-2 ~*~  
“The Lord (Yahweh) said to my Lord (Yahshua),
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
2 The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion.
To Rule in the midst of Your enemies!”

I therefore am proposing that the Hallel Psalms 110 through 118, in which Psalms 110 and 118 serve as a frame around Psalms 111 through 117, and which are prophetically tied to the years 2011 through 2017, are directly tied to the opening of the Seal Judgments of the Book of Revelation. Furthermore, I am proposing that the first Five Seals have already been opened. This means that the opening of the Sixth Seal and the outpouring of God's Wrath is imminent, and the Rapture has to occur before the Sixth Seal is opened because born-again believers are NOT subject to God's Wrath! So though I misinterpreted the meaning of the Hallel Psalms and initially thought they were tied to the Great Tribulation, I wasn't too far off because they actually may be tied to ten years associated with the opening of five of the Seven Seals discussed in Revelation Chapters 6 and 7.

Because there are more than 7 Hallel Psalms, and there are actually 10 if you count Psalm 110, Psalm 118 and Psalm 136, the Hallel Psalms can be seen as connected to ten years extending from the end of 2010 through to the end of 2020. It could therefore link the Hallel Psalms to the ten days of Tribulation that are suggested by the ten day tribulation referred to in Revelation 2:9-11. Viewing this with the idea that one day equals one year, this may mean that believers are to experience a tribulation of ten years before the Rapture. If this 10-year Tribulation "of those days" began at the end of 2010 with the Total Lunar Eclipse over Orion's Sword, it basically began at the beginning of the year 2011. This ten year tribulation will therefore end at the conclusion of the year 2020, and the 3-1/2 year Great Tribulation may follow it.

Eclipses Crossing America - Click to Enlarge
Curiously, this 3-1/2 year period will end shortly after the Total Solar Eclipse or Sackcloth Sun that will move the Moon's shadow across America on April 8th, 2024. This April 2024 Solar Eclipse's shadow will crisscross the shadow cast by the August 21st, 2017 "Great American" Total Solar Eclipse that made its way across the entire length of North America - from the West coast all to way to the East coast. So almost everyone saw or heard about this amazing prophetically-charged 2017 Eclipse that occurred one month before the Sign of the Woman Clothed With the Sun that appeared in the heavens on September 23rd, 2017. I will write a more in-depth article about why 2020 could be the year of the Rapture soon.

Fascinatingly, the Rod of God's strength mentioned in Psalm 110, verse 2 quoted earlier may be referring to the nuclear and conventional Military Power of the modern nation of Israel, which is also known as ZION. This reference may also be tied to the Military might of the United States of America as the Christian arm of Zion. The Blood Moon of December 21st, 2010 is also connected to Orion, whose three bright belt stars target the three massive pyramids built at Giza in Egypt that figured so prominently in the Christ Angles Sign that appeared in the heavens on September 20th, 2017.

Orion is connected to Taurus and the Rider on the Red Horse as well. This suggests that the Red Horse is connected to the spreading of the False Gospel of Islam and Islamic Terrorism, and the persecution of those of the True Gospel. This began in earnest with the start of the Arab Spring, which led to the founding of ISIS and their aspirations of forming a new Islamic Caliphate known as ISIL (which stands for the "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant)! The Rider on the Red Horse is also connected to the war machine that began a proxy war between Russia and the USA in Syria, which led to the virtual destruction of Damascus and the eroding of the stability of the western nations that is prophesied about in Isaiah 17 and Psalm 108!

What's more, the Sign of Taurus is connected to the Red Horse of WAR, as well as to the Second Corner or Pacific Region of the world where Hawaii is located, and the December 2010 Full Lunar Eclipse or Blood Moon was best seen from the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where Hawaii is located! In addition, Hawaii is the supposed birth place of the infamous former half White and half Black President of the USA named Barack Hussein Obama - who is not a Christian but a Muslim in disguise, and who deviously orchestrated the founding of ISIS, as well as the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in America! Another illustration of this amazing eclipse appears below, and shows how it looked from the Moon, as well as from the Earth:

December 21st, 2010 Blood Moon Eclipse as seen from the Earth and the Moon 
The appalling mass martyrdom of many saints characterizes the opening of the Fifth Seal, so it is no wonder that its probable opening was marked by an ominous Blood Moon indicating strife for both Houses of Israel, which includes all born again Christian believers, and all Messianic Jews that are redeemed by Yahshua's blood Sacrifice for sin. After all, Orion's Belt Stars are tied to the 3 crosses raised at Yahshua's crucifixion at Golgotha, and the Sign of Taurus signifies both the affects of, and the blessing and the witness of the people redeemed by Yahshua's blood sacrifice. This war on the Two True Houses of Israel stepped up another notch with the rise of ISIS in Iraq and Syria in 2014 and 2015, when there was another mighty heavenly sign consisting of Four Consecutive Blood Moons that occurred on the Jewish Feasts of Passover and Tabernacles in both years. Here is a link to a 2015 article I wrote about the rise of ISIS and their targeted persecution of all Middle Eastern Christians:

THE CONNECTION OF ISIS WITH
THE FIFTH SEAL CRY OF THE MARTYRS

Since this article is getting much too long, I am going to end it with the following note. The Red Horse of War is connected to the Pacific Ocean, where Alaska and Hawaii are located. Furthermore, this same Red Horse of War was connected to the Middle East in the past, and Iran is still posing a massive Nuclear Threat to Israel, America and the entire once Christian West. Furthermore, it now appears that the first Nuclear devastation in World War III may occur with a confrontation between North Korea and the United States (and very possibly Russia and China) in the Pacific sector of the planet!

WHY CHRIST IS THE LORD OF A PERPETUAL SABBATH!


This article has been derived from combining four recent posts that I made on Facebook concerning the Seventh Day Sabbath Rest instituted by God. It is not meant to be disrespectful to those who wish to keep the Seventh Day Sabbath in the traditional Jewish manner - or as it was prescribed by God in Exodus Chapter 16, and again in Exodus Chapter 31, where it is called a Covenant sign, and a day in which the Israelites were to rest from their labors, and do no work.

At the time the Sabbath rest was instituted, which was at the time of the Exodus, Yahweh made not keeping the Sabbath day punishable by death (See Exodus 31:14). Yahweh did this because He wanted His special people to set themselves apart from the rest of the world, which was paganistic and idolatrous and did not set aside a proper time for anyone to rest from their labors. This lack of rest time can be detrimental to one's health, and many of Yahweh's laws concerning human diet and behavior were specifically designed to keep His people healthy. Yahweh also wanted His human children to have no distractions keeping them from remembering Him, praising His Name, and worshiping and fellowshipping with Him in prayer. This is because it not only brings joy to our Heavenly Father, but can have healing affects on those who willingly worship Yahweh with joy and thanksgiving in their hearts.

Yahweh wanted to ensure that His human children rested at least one day a week - or for a portion of each day outside of bed time - because it is essential for human health to have some serious leisure time, especially if it is devoted to worship and prayer. For these reasons, keeping the Sabbath Day in the traditional day-long manner is a great idea for people who can take a full day to rest from work, although this is becoming increasingly hard to do in today's fast-paced, activity-packed world.

However, the ritual lighting of two candles, and the prescribed prayers that Jews associate with keeping the Sabbath are not delineated anywhere in the Bible, so they are optional. The important thing is to make sure that you devote this set apart day - or, alternatively, a portion of each day - to study God's Word, to pray, to fellowship with other believers, to help those believers that need help, and to purify and heal your body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Each separate post that I made about the Sabbath on Facebook has been woven together here to be read as one full article, with sub-titles opening each new article section. I hope and pray that it will bless everyone with a better understanding of the Sabbath rest that Yahweh God ordained to commemorate His Creation of the Universe, and how it should be viewed in light of our New Covenant in Christ.

The reason why I felt it was necessary to write this four part commentary on the Sabbath is because of the controversy that exists between various legalistic Judaizers in the Body of Christ. These Judaizers can be found among more legalistic Torah-keeping Messianic Jewish believers, the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Worldwide Church of God, and the Seventh Day Adventists, who all insist that a strict observance of God's Seventh Day Sabbath as laid forth in the Law of Moses, and as one of the Ten Commandments, is not only necessary, but essential for salvation to occur. Meanwhile, their detractors in the greater body of Christ believe that Christians are under a perpetual Sabbath rest unto God through our baptism with the Holy Spirit. Our baptism with the Spirit of God indwelling us is a seal indicating that we are saved. It also marks our identification with Christ's shed blood for our salvation, and to our death to the world of sin, and the sinful desires of our bodies. Seeing ourselves as dead to the world and separating ourselves from worldly pleasures allows us to live for Christ via His Spirit every day of the week. As the Apostle Paul said:
Romans 6:3-11 ~ “How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
So the Apostle Paul - whose teachings Judaizers such as strict Sabbath keepers often hate and do their best to ignore - tells the saints that they were baptized into Christ's death as a symbol of their death to the world and to sin so that they can seek to always live for Christ as slaves to righteousness. So, if all saints are now dead to the world of sin and slaves instead to righteousness, doesn't this mean that saints no longer need to follow the world's rules and regulations for the living any longer? Logically, the answer is they do not, because our physical bodies are to be viewed as dead to the world, and we are to see ourselves as only alive in the Spirit, which does not need to rest because dwelling in the Spirit means being in a perpetual state of supernatural rest or peace that transcends all human understanding (See Philippians 4:7).

In the following Scripture, the Apostle Paul clearly states that the saints are to view themselves as dead to the world and its rules and regulations so they can be free to do Yahweh's spiritual Will at all times:
Colossians 2:11-23 ~ “In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. 
       16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. 18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God. 
       20 Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— 21 “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” 22 which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.”
So here the Apostle Paul tells the saints that - just as all the priestly ceremonial rules, blood offerings and sacrificial laws connected to the Mosaic Law were nailed to the Cross with Christ (See the Book of Hebrews, Chapters 9 through 12) - the Book of Colossians tells us that the rules and regulations connected to the Jewish Feasts and Sabbaths and New Moons have also been nailed to the Cross. So all that effectively remains of the Mosaic Law for the saints to keep then is the Moral Law that governs human familial and neighborly social behavior. Incidentally, this is why Yahshua's Sermon on the Mount dealt exclusively with God's Moral Law, and didn't directly discuss keeping the rituals and feasts attached to the blood sacrificial system and the hereditary priesthood designated by the Mosaic Law.

However, though I believe that Christ was ascribing great importance to the first day of the week as the day of the Firstfruits Offering that He effectively became when He presented Himself before His Father in Heaven on that day a little over two thousand years ago, this article is NOT an argument for or against the belief that Sunday has become the Christian Sabbath. What this article will do is show that Christians are entitled to keep a more traditional Sabbath rest unto God on any day of the week that they choose to keep it, including on Sunday, and that they can also choose not to keep a traditional Sabbath because they view everyday as a Sabbath Rest unto God.

To begin this exploration of what it means to be in the Perpetual Sabbath Rest of God in Christ, I will now share the importance of the idea of the 1,000-year long Great Day of the Lord, and how it relates to the Great Day Sabbath Rest that signifies the coming Millennial Rule of Christ.

UNDERSTANDING OUR 
GREAT DAY SABBATH REST IN CHRIST

I really think it's sad how believers are so divided on the issue of Sabbath keeping, and how divisive and abusive they get toward one another whenever the topic of the Sabbath is brought up for debate. The simple truth is that, under the New Covenant, we have entered Christ's Everlasting Sabbath Rest through our acceptance of His sacrifice on the Cross for our sins, and if we are following Him wholeheartedly, we have died to the world to live for Christ, which means that we are living for Him and through Him every day of the week, not just on the seventh day.

Some may wonder how we are to die to the world, and how we are to live for Christ when we can't stop working and being active members of society. First of all, believers need to understand that the Word of God does not teach us to die to ourselves. More correctly, we die to the world outside of ourselves, with its carnal lusts and desires, and live for Christ by keeping His commandments and listening to the promptings of His Holy Spirit in us that calls us to be good to others, and to share the Good News of the Kingdom of God with them.

However, contrary to what some Christian preachers teach, Christ's disciples were never meant to completely lose themselves, but to retain the essence of who they are that makes them special by putting it to use in Yah's service. Indeed, our Heavenly Father Yahweh wants us to find ourselves by working for Him at our fullest potential through and in Christ.

As the Apostle Paul put it, "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me" (Galatians 2:20). This does not mean that Paul put his "self" to death. Rather, it means that Paul's self had been merged with Christ's self, and the two had become one. This is what it means to be married to Christ. It is the mystical joining in a marriage of souls where the two shall become one flesh. My prayer is that all may one day experience this mystical joining with Christ. If you haven't already, all you have to do to experience it is to repent of your sins, surrender your will and your life to Christ, and ask Him to heal, restore and perfect you by indwelling you with His Spirit.

Indeed, it is the Holy Spirit that gives us our true liberty and freedom to serve God freely and abundantly in this world, and without Him, we will become lost and ineffectual. If we are true believers who love Yahshua with all of our hearts, we must be imbued with the Holy Spirit, Who gives us fruits, gifts, knowledge and discernment, and we must enter into the new spiritual life through the Spirit of God that we will forever be in as God's servants.

If, as believers, we study ourselves approved by knowing God's Word, we would learn to understand that Christ's coming 1,000-year reign on the Earth is meant to be a literal renewal of Yahweh God's original 1,000-year Seventh Great Day Sabbath Rest that was abruptly halted in the past - when Adam and Eve sinned and plunged the world into spiritual darkness. This 1,000 year principle for the length of each Creation Day is based on the belief that the Jews have that mankind has been given six thousand years to show the wicked fruit of their works without God in control as opposed to the perfect goodness of the works that God did in the first 6 Great Days, or 6,000 years when His initial act of Creation was made manifest.

When viewed this way, the past 12,000 years signify God's 6,000 years of goodness being obliterated by Satan and mankind's 6,000 years of wickedness, which God will put an abrupt halt to on the “Great Day of the Lord”, which is an allusion not to an ordinary day or seventh day Sabbath, or to the destruction of the world in one day, but to the inauguration of the Great Day Sabbath Rest of Yahshua's Kingdom. At the beginning of Christ's Millennial Kingdom, every mortal still alive on the catastrophically devastated remains of the Earth will be judged, the Earth will be renewed, and those who survive their appearance before the Judgment Seat of Christ will be allowed to enter into the continuation of Yahweh's literal Great Day Sabbath Rest. This literal Sabbath Rest will be far more joy-filled than the spiritual Sabbath Rest that believers currently experience every day during their walk with Christ.

This 1,000-year Great Day principle is hinted at when, in 2 Peter 3:8, the Apostle Peter reminds believers that: “with the Lord, one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day”. This Biblical principle is also brought forth in Psalm 90:4, where it says: “For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night”.

This 1,000-year Great Day is also hinted at in Revelation Chapter 1, when John the Revelator told his audience that: “I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day”, which is not necessarily a reference to an ordinary Sabbath day since the vision that John shared spanned a thousand year period that included a detailed prophetic description of the Great Tribulation, the Millennial Rule of Christ it will lead up to, and the creation of a New Heaven and a New Earth at the end of the thousand years of peace and prosperity that all born-again believers will experience in the Kingdom of God on Earth.

Finally, this 1000-year Great Sabbath Day is tied to Christ's Millennial Rule in Revelation Chapter 20, where it says:
~*~ Revelation 20:4-6 ~*~ “And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.” 
When this 1,000-year Great Day idea is accepted and applied to our spiritual knowledge base, it explains why God set aside a thousand years before the New Heaven and New Earth are created for the reign of His Son. It makes sense that God did so because everyday in Christ's kingdom will be a Great Day Sabbath Rest for the whole world, not just for those who love and follow Him in this current wicked world, and so it will fulfill the establishment of the Seventh Great Day - and all eternity to follow it - as a Great Unending Day or Age of resting in our love for God forever.

For those who say that the above view somehow changes, adds to, or diminishes the importance of the Sabbath, there is no way that seeing every day as a Sabbath rest unto the Lord has taken away or added to God's Commandment to keep the Sabbath. Instead, it merely amplifies the importance of the Sabbath rest as a perpetual state of mind, body and spirit that never has a beginning or end in Christ.

WHY THE SABBATH IS 
ALL WEEK LONG UNDER CHRIST
Link To Original Facebook Post:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10208589750917805

Through a composite of several Scriptures recording the words of our Messiah Yahshua and the Apostle Paul, we are told to live as though it was the Sabbath everyday of the week in Christ, and we should not consider any day to be more special than another. When studied together, these important Scriptures clarify our Sabbath responsibilities to God and one another under the New Covenant with Yahweh God in Christ. This is because God's Word is meant to be taken in a holistic fashion, with each new declaration building upon, and expanding upon the basic principles at its foundation that were laid down in the Law of Moses, but were then transformed by the Commandments of Christ that are tempered by the gift of Grace or unmerited favor, and the Holy Spirit, Who shows us what God's Will is in our lives, and how we should live to please Him.

The following collection of Scriptures build on one another to show believers how to live for Christ, and in the process, they clearly define what responsibilities to God that believers in Christ have in regard to keeping the Law of Moses - especially in regard to the Mosaic Laws concerning the Sabbath, and the dietary laws. What believers learn through these Scriptures is that the Law of Moses should be viewed as superfluous to those who are born again, dead to the world, and fully living in Christ because the Holy Spirit in us stands as a guarantee that we have fulfilled all the legal requirements of the Law through Christ, and we know how to please God through the living counsel of that same Spirit.

The first Scripture is from the Gospel of John, and in it we are told that the Jews felt that Yahshua did not keep the Sabbath because He ignored their strict interpretation of what is allowed, and what is not allowed on the Sabbath according to the Law of Moses:
~*~ John 5: 9-23 ~*~  “And that day was the Sabbath. 10 The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”
       He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’”
       Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” 13 But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”
       The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”
       Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God. 19     Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. 22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, 23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.”
The preceding Scripture strengthens Yahshua's position as someone with the full authority to interpret the Law of God, and to explain how it should be viewed. This is done by verbally reinforcing the fact that Yahshua is indeed the Son of our Heavenly Father, and He has the same authority as the Father in judging all things.

This fact is hinted at again in the next Scripture, which is taken from the Gospel of Mark, but is also found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. In it, the Pharisees question Yahshua when He and His disciples are found breaking the religious restrictions that were placed on the Israelite people on the Sabbath. In His response, Yahshua tells the Pharisees that He is the Lord of the Sabbath, and God made the Sabbath to bless His followers, not shackle them:
~*~ Mark 2:23-28 ~*~ “Now it happened that He went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and as they went His disciples began to pluck the heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why do they do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”
      But He said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those with him: 26 how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the showbread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and also gave some to those who were with him?”
       And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. 28 Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.” 
Here, we are confronted with the fact that Yahshua is the Lord of the Sabbath, meaning that He can dictate how the Sabbath should be viewed, and what believers need to do, and do not have to do to keep the Sabbath. To please God, believers in Christ are called to mimic how God rested on the seventh day of Creation by seeing how all that had been created was good, and enjoying the full extent of that goodness, which was lost until Christ came into the world to restore it for those who believe in Him, and accept His blood sacrifice for their sins.

In the next Scripture taken from the Gospel of Luke, Yahshua shows His lordship over the Sabbath again by breaking the Sabbath restrictions that were imposed on all the children of Israel by their religious leaders. This time, He does so by indicating that it is lawful for us to heal others, and to do all of the good works that our heavenly Father's Spirit causes us to want to do on the Sabbath day - just as it is lawful to do these things during the rest of the week. By doing so, Christ laid the groundwork for the principle that our Sabbath rest in Him should be viewed as all week long, and not just on the seventh day of the week:
~*~ Luke 6:6-11 ~*~ “Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered. 7 So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him. 8 But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Arise and stand here.” And he arose and stood. 9 Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy?” 10 And when He had looked around at them all, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other. 11 But they were filled with rage, and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus (i.e. Yahshua).”
Before going on, it's interesting to note that - in this last Scripture - we are told how those who still saw themselves as obligated to keep the whole Law of Moses were enraged toward Yahshua for challenging them, and by going against their interpretation of the Law. This is similar to how Radical Muslims act toward non-Muslims in wanting them to conform to their Sharia Law, which is expected to be strictly kept by Muslims and Non-Muslims in the same ways that the Law of Moses was kept, and is still expected to be kept by religious Jews. But there is nothing loving or righteous about forcing anyone to conform to any fleshly, human interpretation of God's Laws, whether they believe in God or not. Instead, our response as to how we should keep God's Law should come from our own intimate spiritual relationship with the indwelling Spirit of God, Who serves as the perfect divine Counselor to every born-again believer.

The idea that our religious convictions have to come from a position of utter confidence in God's Spirit, and our ability to interpret God's Word correctly through God's Spirit is brought forward again in the next Scripture taken from the Epistle of Paul to the Romans. In it, we are told that the dietary laws under the Law of Moses, as well as the special observances of various days such as the Sabbath, are no longer important or obligatory for followers of Christ unless they are in the presence of those who are still bound by these restrictions. Whether it be due to a lack of faith in Christ, or refusal to accept Paul's teaching that the Laws under Moses were no longer necessary to be followed, the Jews and Messianics who still felt obligated to keep the old Law were to be respected.

This meant that the laws these Jews and Messianics kept were to be followed by new believers when fellowshipping with those still keeping the old legal requirements of the Mosaic Law. They were to do this so that they would not cause these Judaizers to stumble in their walk with God. As Paul explained it, they could stumble into sin if they acted outside of what they felt were the legal requirements of their faith, because anything we do that is not done in faith is sinful:
~*~ Romans 14:1-10 ~*~ “Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. 2 For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. 3 Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him. 4 Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.
       One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. 7 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord.     Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.” 
And, a bit later in the same chapter...
~*~ Romans 14:19-23 ~*~ “Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another. 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are pure, but it is evil for the man who eats with offense. 21 It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak. 22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. 23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.”
So in Romans 14, the Apostle Paul - who was a devout and zealous Jew before becoming a follower of Christ - clearly makes the case that the divinely given dietary laws under Moses are no longer applicable in Christ because He makes all things clean for us when we have faith that Christ can make them clean, and when we pray over our food in thanksgiving. Furthermore, no special days need to be observed in Christ, for each new day is a reason for believers to experience thanksgiving and joy in our salvation in Christ.

However, we are also warned that we should not be contentious with those who still feel that they are bound to keep the whole Law, or who do so because they feel it is a loving action in imitation of Christ, who was a Jew. We are to respect their desire to keep the whole Law when in their presence, and through our observance, to not cause any of them to stumble due to their weaker faith.

This next Scripture taken from the Epistle of Paul to the Colossians again tells believers that the special observances of various days such as the New Moon, or beginning of the month, and the Sabbath or seventh day are no longer important or obligatory for followers of Christ, and these days are not to be viewed as more special than any other day, but that we should live every day as if it were dedicated to serving our Lord and Savior Yahshua. This is because we who are born again are called to see ourselves as dead to the world, but alive in Christ:
~*~ Colossians 2:8-23 ~*~ “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
       In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
       So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. 18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.
       Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— 21 “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” 22 which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.”
All in all, these Scriptures work together to show that believers in, and followers of Yahshua Ha Mashiach or Jesus the Christ are under no obligation to keep the whole Law as the Jews interpreted it, but only to follow the Spirit of Christ that is living in, and helping believers to do God's Will every day of the week.

Unfortunately, many legalists or Judaizers appear to lack the actual baptism of the Holy Spirit that makes us born again in Christ. This is often evident in those who do not see any supernatural component to their faith, and who deny the outpouring of spiritual fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as the signs and wonders that always follow those who are born again when they are actively pursuing intimacy with God, and brotherly love with one another.

For the misguided people that do not see this outflow of power in the Holy Spirit that accompanies born again believers, their faith is based on a strict, literal interpretation of God's Word that is not tempered by the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling within. This means that they are not given a deeper understanding of God's Word, nor are they shown its practical applications in everyday living through visions, dreams and direct words of knowledge from God because they either deny their existence, or see them as demonic, and this is what Yahshua meant when He talked about blaspheming the Holy Spirit, and how such a flagrant denial of the supernatural power of God will never be forgiven:
~*~ Luke 12:9-11 ~*~ “But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God. And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.” 
This Scripture serves as a warning to all those who use legalism to deny the power of the Holy Spirit to help believers see the truth in God's Word, and to spread the power of the Gospel of the Kingdom via the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as through dreams, visions, signs and wonders.

YAHSHUA BROKE THE SABBATH
WITH HIS RESURRECTION!
Link to Sabbath Day Post on Facebook of Saturday, May 28th, 2016:
https://www.facebook.com/helena.lehman/posts/10208650667560683

When I did a study of Yahshua's Crucifixion and Resurrection, I discovered that Yahshua or Jesus was to give the Sign of Jonah, which meant He was to be dead for three full days and three full nights before rising from the dead. Now, since Yahshua was seen alive and outside of the Garden Tomb early on Sunday morning by Mary Magdalene, and He promised to be dead for three full days and three full nights before rising from the dead, Yahshua had to have died on a Wednesday. In addition, the Gospels tell us that Yahshua was taken down from the Cross and buried before the start of Passover, which began at dusk. This means that He was buried BEFORE the Sun set on a Wednesday.

Furthermore, we are told that three women that were disciples of Yahshua went to visit His tomb while it was yet dark on Sunday morning, and they were surprised to find His tomb empty before the Sun had risen. Now, since Yahshua died on Late Wednesday afternoon, was buried before the start of Passover at dusk, and He was to be dead for only three full days and three full nights, it suggests that He rose from the dead before dusk on Saturday just as He died before dusk on Wednesday, meaning He rose just before the close of the seventh day Sabbath, thereby breaking the Sabbath as the Jews defined it.

Although strict Sabbath keepers may try to dismiss this teaching as a false conjecture, it is a logical argument based on Scripture, and it makes perfect sense when we take a look at Yahshua's earthly ministry in the Gospels. There are numerous times in the Gospels where we can find Yahshua - Who in His preincarnate state was the Creator of the Universe and the Maker of the law of the Sabbath rest - breaking the Pharisaic, man-made traditions and rules surrounding the keeping of the Sabbath as the Jews defined it. Yahshua also made the bold statement that God made the Sabbath for mankind, and not mankind for the Sabbath, which meant it was to be a blessing for us, and not a burden. This means that we should be free to do all the good that we can do on the Sabbath, as well as to enjoy all the good things that God created for us to enjoy.

I presented some of those Scriptures in another article about the Sabbath that I posted last week (which is posted in the sub-titled section before this one). In the meantime, have a blessed Sabbath, however you choose to keep it. Shabbat Shalom!

KEEPING THE PERPETUAL SABBATH
Link to the Original Facebook Post: 
https://www.facebook.com/helena.lehman/posts/10208580872375847

In Christ, all believers are being called to keep a perpetual Sabbath. This is evident via the fact that Yahshua or Jesus gives His beloved, born again saints His indwelling Spirit, Who in turn gives His saints the liberty and freedom to practice the Sabbath rest of God every day, not just on the seventh day of the week. In fact, we are called to give our lives to Yahshua, to His Spirit, and to our heavenly Father Yahweh, and to live only for our Triune God not just on the seventh day, but every day of the week.

This also holds true for those who believe that the Sabbath should be kept on Sunday due to Christ's first day of new Life as the Firstfruits of the First Resurrection into Everlasting Life. What should be the case is that those who truly love and follow God and His Son and Spirit should not see any day as more special than another, for all the days are to be viewed as equal to them, and fully dedicated to the Creator God they love and follow by keeping His 10 Commandments - and the Two Commandments Yahshua gave that encompass the Ten Commandments - every day of the week.

Those who love and follow Christ are also given the promise of God's Grace or unmerited favor, and His forgiveness when they fail to keep His Commandments perfectly, but then repent and seek to make amends for their wrong doing. Then they are forgiven, and called back into fellowship with God through His Son and Spirit, and their sins are remembered no more. This is another blessing of being in God's perpetual Sabbath rest in Christ, where all believers can find forgiveness, acceptance, comfort and peace when they honor Christ and love others as He does everyday of the week.

Hallelu-Yah for our salvation through Yahshua, our King, Bridegroom, Mentor and Friend through His Spirit, and Hallelu-Yah for our perpetual Sabbath Rest in Him!
