PERILOUS TIMES: WHY BIBLICAL MORALITY IS UNDER ATTACK TODAY

Have you noticed that Biblical Christianity is under attack today like never before, from both within its ranks, as well as without? Have you also noticed that the world at large has turned good into evil and evil into good, just as the Bible warns will happen when people ignore God's Moral Law (See Isaiah 5:20)? One of the areas where this is most evident is in the area of Gender roles, and how that ties into the realm of Homosexuality and Transgenderism.

It's also getting to a point today where it's almost impossible to reprimand Gay or Transgender people - even when they are behaving in an unseemly or lewd manner in Public. Because the world in general no longer cares about the proper Biblical definitions of good and evil, people the world over have become more lax and rebellious against God, His Moral Laws, and His Idea of Righteous Government.

It's a sign or symptom of the times we are in, and Messianic and Christian organizations are the prime targets of the dissenters. So when we see believers and believer-based organizations under attack when they have done nothing wrong, we should rally behind them and offer our support, not tear them down further.

The other day, I posted a prime example on Facebook. A Christian School had issues with a girl who was dressing and ACTING like a boy, and her boyish clothing was against the school's dress code. But, even though she insisted that she knew she was a girl, she did not want to behave like one or follow the school's rules. But rather than kick the girl out, they asked her grandparents to get her to comply to the school's dress code.

Unfortunately, the grandparents got angry and brought the case to the attention of the Liberal, Christ-hating Media, which blew the whole situation out of proportion, and caused many to side with the child rather than the school in a flagrant disregard for the rules.

Sadly, what this article highlights is the breakdown of morality and obedience in society today, which is just as the Scriptures warned us would happen in the Last Days before Christ's return. As the Apostle Paul wrote, we live in perilous times:

2 Timothy 3:1-7 ~ “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

We therefore need to be careful how we view the efforts of the Liberal Media to demonize the actions of believers, and the schools and businesses that they operate. We also need to make an effort to support the believers and organizations that are our brethren, and who are in the front lines of the spiritual war that we are all engaged in, especially those who must publicly take a stand for Christ. For we do not fight against flesh and blood, but the unseen principalities and powers of wickedness in the spiritual realms (See Ephesians 6:11-13).

For those who do not know how to wage Spiritual Warfare on behalf of fellow believers that are struggling under demonic oppression today, Please read the following article, and the articles it links to in order to equip yourself to fight!

SPIRITUAL WARFARE - PSALM 91, PSALM 140,

AND TWO SAMPLE DELIVERANCE PRAYERS

http://pillarofenoch.blogspot.com/2011/08/spiritual-warfare-sample-deliverance.html

All of us that contend for our faith in Christ will be under satanic attack until the Rapture. So we need to remain strong, focused, and supportive of those fighting with us for the cause of the Kingdom of God. To offer you hope that the Rapture may be very near, I wrote the following article, and I hope that you will also read and share it:

IMPORTANT ARTICLE: Rather than the Feast of Trumpets, the Rapture appears to be thematically tied to Firstfruits - beginning with the day of Firstfruits or Resurrection Sunday during Passover Week, and then counting the Omer to Shavuot or Pentecost. I first shared this theory in my 650-page book: "The Language of God in Humanity" many years ago. Read the Article linked to below to see why I believe this: 

Christ’s Last Passover Marks 
A Promise Of The Rapture!

Yahshua is coming VERY SOON! Maranatha!

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

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

Copyright © 2007 By Helena Lehman

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

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

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

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

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

http://pillar-of-enoch.com/graphics/Anti-Peace-Sign_Four-Horsemen_Article-Illustrations.pdf

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fire Storm in California, An Act of God’s Divine Judgment?

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

Under a new bill signed by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, "Mom and Dad" and "husband and wife" were officially banned from being used in California school sex education classes. With a stroke of his pen, the Governor told many California parents that their values do not matter, and they, and their children must be gender-neutral. Additionally, in public schools girls and boys can now use each other's restrooms. Therefore, in California, no distinction is being made between men and women, as if all the old biblical taboos and boundaries God put in place can be swept under the rug for an ungodly bid at freedom, and open rebellion against God, who “made them male and female.”

Folks, I don’t know about you, but doesn’t it seem patently obvious that these fires raging out of control in California grew worse than they have ever been in California’s history shortly after this bill was signed? Could it be that Yahweh God was judging the people of California who welcomed, and applauded this new bill that obviously was passed to please the huge Gay community in California, which has the largest openly, and repugnantly vocal Gay community in the world, and whose dollars help fund the multi-billion dollar pornographic film industry in Hollywood?

While I see the clear signs of Yahweh’s disgust, and open judgement in these raging fires, the rest of the world has been completely dumb about it. Instead, the media focused on how well the government responded to the disaster, and readily assisted the people who had to evacuate their homes. How nice that the government speedily came to the aid of all the computer magnates, gays, entertainment moguls, and people who work for them that live there! One wonders if the same courtesy would be shown in a poorer part of America, like the slums in Chicago.

I doubt it.

The Bible teaches that God's judgement rests on anyone who is not doing His Will, including backslidden believers. The Bible also says that no one is good except God, and the heart of man is desperately wicked. In fact, the only way to get to heaven is through Yahshua Ha Mashiach (i.e. Jesus the Christ). But even saved people have to do good works in keeping with the promptings of the Holy Spirit inside them, or they will suffer the consequences.

Since many of the Christians of California were not publicly complaining against the unjust bill that Gov. Schwarzenegger passed, or - for that matter - trying to stop it’s being passed, then THEY WERE NOT DOING GOD’S WILL!!!!!!

In the TV news coverage of the California Fires, I remember seeing that one house in a neighborhood that otherwise was totally burned was not touched by the flames. The people whose house was saved loudly proclaimed that it was a miracle, implying that they knew God had saved their home. At the moment I saw their faces, I heard the Holy Spirit affirming that these people’s home was spared because they did God’s Will whenever they could.

On the same note: this summer, a tornado passed within two blocks of our home. Though our neighbor's home suffered much damage from the high winds, ours was not touched.

Our neighbors are involved in the Mafia, often have loud parties with much drinking and swearing, and have treated us with open contempt and hostility. Meanwhile we are doing our best to live God's way, and pray for His protection almost daily.

Why do you think our house was spared, and not our neighbors?

Something to think about!

God’s Word is faithful and true, and God will not be mocked. We all need to live our lives in accordance with God’s Word, or pay the price by losing much in this life.

Being saved is not the same thing as being blessed. You can be saved without being blessed when you do not do God’s Will. And you can never be blessed unless you do God’s Will.

How it saddens me that this once great country has sunk so morally low!

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

Part One - “The Rider on the White Horse:
Symbol of the Gospel of the Kingdom Being Preached”

Copyright © 2007 By Helena Lehman


NOTE: To better understand this material, see my illustrations for this three-part article series by downloading this 4 page PDF article supplement: http://pillar-of-enoch.com/graphics/Anti-Peace-Sign_Four-Horsemen_Article-Illustrations.pdf

Many Bible Prophecy teachers have written about the possible meanings of the cryptic symbolism found in the Book of Revelation. Among these commentaries, much has been written about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse found in Revelation’s sixth chapter. However, none of the more popular commentaries on the Book of Revelation have noted that there is a definite Zodiac connection for many of the symbols in the prophetic language of this book.

As shown in my Language of God Book Series (see http://pillar-of-enoch.com/language_series/), these scriptural tie-ins to the Zodiac Star Gospel story are found throughout the many biblical prophetic scriptures, but they are especially numerous in the Book of Revelation. This suggests that we can apply Sacred Astronomy to determine the dating of key biblical prophecies, just as Enoch and his righteous Sethite descendents did prior to the Great Flood, as shown in the Pillar of Enoch, or Great Pyramid.

One aspect of this Zodiac symbolism that I mentioned in my books is found in the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who appear consecutively when the first four of seven seals representing various stages of judgment are opened. The only one of the four horsemen I really commented on in my books was the first horseman riding on a white horse, which many Bible Scholars have incorrectly identified as the Antichrist. They have done so because of the apparent similarity to the King of kings on the white horse described toward the end of the Book of Revelation:

“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war…” “Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations… He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” -- Rev 19:11, 15-16 (NKJ)

To many Bible Prophecy teachers, it is obvious that the Rider on the White Horse in Revelation Chapter 19 is none other than Yahshua (Jesus) the Messiah returning in Glory to set up His Kingdom on Earth. They therefore think that the less sensationally described rider on the white horse in Revelation, Chapter Six must be an imposter, especially since he appears at the beginning of the Great Tribulation period, when the First Seal is opened:

“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.’ 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.” -- Rev. 6:1-2 (NKJ)

Note that the First Horseman of the Apocalypse, or rider on the white horse is given a crown, and has a bow in his hand, identifying him is an archer. However, his bow has no “arrow,” which is a symbol of war and power. The lack of an arrow therefore suggests that the rider is being sent out during the first half of the seven-year Tribulation. For the first three and a half years, before the Bowls of God’s Wrath are poured out on the Earth, there will be a period of peace all over the world, though this time of peace will be heavily marred by ecological and geological disasters, which will be none other than acts of God’s vengeance on an imperiled Earth.

Uncannily, the white horse, and the crowned archer with the bow can all be found in the starry constellation called Sagittarius, the Centaur-like Archer among the twelve major signs of the Zodiac. As depicted in the Dendera Zodiac, Sagittarius depicts a mounted pharaoh, or king, whose pure white horse’s feet are trampling over a serpent shaped like a boat (indicating the serpent trail of Dan, and the Nephilim), while the arrow in the king’s bow is aimed at the heart of Scorpio, the most Satanic symbol among the twelve signs of the Zodiac! This Archer King represents Yahshua, while the white horse represents His perfection, and His role as an atonement sacrifice for sin.

As shown in my book “The Language of God in the Universe” (see http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Universe/), Sagittarius can be seen as a melding together of that first apocalyptic rider, and the white horse he is riding. In the Gospel in the Stars, this sign perfectly represents the dual-nature of Christ as both a conquering hero (the archer), and an atonement sacrifice (the hoofed, white animal) in one!

There are, in fact, two centaurs in the Zodiac. Sagittarius depicts Christ coming in triumph, while the decan of Virgo called Centaurus portrays Christ as an atonement sacrifice. These two centaurs are Scorpio’s righteous adversaries, and their bows depict God’s meting out of judgment against Satan, and his evil followers. However, these archer’s bows also signify God’s promises, blessings, and mercy, just as the rainbow sign given to Noah, and his kin depicted God’s promise to never destroy the Earth by water again. Interestingly, every rainbow symbolically aims an invisible arrow at God, showing that God would rather kill Himself than renege on any of His promises, just as He did on the Cross!

Now, as shown in my book “The Language of God in Prophecy” (see http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Prophecy/) the prophet Zechariah depicts Yahweh holding a bow associated with the tribe of Judah, and an arrow tied to the Tribe of Joseph/Ephraim that are being used to defeat God’s enemies during the Battle of Armageddon:

“For I have bent Judah, My bow, Fitted the bow with Ephraim, and raised up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and made you like the sword of a mighty man. Then the LORD will be seen over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will blow the trumpet, and go with whirlwinds from the south. The LORD of hosts will defend them… in that day, as the flock of His people. For they shall be like the jewels of a crown, lifted like a banner over His land…” - Zechariah 9:13-16 (NKJ)

Note here that the bow and arrow in Zechariah’s vision are being wielded by God, and those He is defending “shall be like the jewels of a crown.” This Scripture therefore identifies the bow, and the jewels of the crown belonging to the Rider on the White Horse in the Book of Revelation! As shown in my books, Judah prophetically refers to the Jews, especially those in the nation of Israel, while Ephraim signifies the Christians living all over the world, especially those in the United States. Therefore, the Rider on the White Horse appears to be a symbol representing a messenger ensuring that the Gospel of Christ’s Kingdom will be preached to the whole world before the Battle of Armageddon. This heavenly Kingdom will ultimately conquer the Devil’s kingdom in the air, and advance the knowledge of the Kingdom of God within those who become the Tribulation Saints.

Indeed, from the very beginning of the seven-year Great Tribulation, God chooses 144,000 Israelites from the Twelve Tribes of Israel to preach. Then the miracle-working Two Witnesses, and finally a mighty angel will preach the Gospel to the whole world before the fall of the Antichrist’s kingdom known as Babylon the Great:

“Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice… ‘Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.’ 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…” -- Rev. 7:2-4 (NKJ)

“And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” -- Rev. 11:3

“Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth -- to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people -- saying with a loud voice, ‘Hear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.’” -- Rev 14:6-7

In the final preceding quote, note that this angel is preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom to the whole world, not just a few people! This angel, and the 144,002 other witnesses of God who will preach during the Tribulation will thus fulfill Christ’s prophecy that:

“…this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” -- Matt. 24:14

This preaching will be faithfully carried out because Yahweh does not want even one of His human children to perish in the Lake if Fire. Therefore, Yah is, and will continue to be merciful to those who accept His Son Yahshua as Savior - even up to the end of the Battle of Armageddon! Hallelu-Yah for that!

In Part Two of this article series, I will show what Zodiac signs the other three Horsemen of the Apocalypse are connected to, and what this connection means.

The Amazing Hidden Prophecy In Psalm 108, and the War on Terror - Are They Connected?

August 30, 2007 - Many people are filled with anxiety today, wondering what is going to happen in regard to the war on terror, and America’s place in it, as well as the part the Middle East nations will play in upcoming world events.

In that regard, the God of Israel has hidden much in Scripture about this very time in history. However, few scholars seem to be aware of the hidden prophecies in the Book of Psalms attributed to King David. For thousands of years, the Psalms have primarily been seen as praise and worship songs, with only a few directly prophetic psalms like Psalm 22, which clearly pertains to Christ’s First Advent. For this reason, few books on End Time events discuss these prophecies.

In my book, “The Language of God in Prophecy” (read about it at http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Prophecy/), I show how many Psalms - especially the Hallel Psalms 110 through 118 - may be directly related to global prophetic events occurring in the years 2010 through 2018. These nine psalms appear to describe unfolding events that will usher in the most terrible time in world history outsde of the Great Flood: the seven-year Great Tribulation! My book on prophecy gives a thrilling glimpse into future world events, even though I neglected to look at Psalm 108, which is directly connected to the years 2008 through 2009.

If I had looked at Psalm 108 closely while writing my book, it would have added greatly to my prophetic interpretation of what the Hallel Psalms may mean in regard to the West’s ongoing war on Terror. In this article, I would therefore like to explain what this Psalm might foretell for the United, States, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and the rest of the world in the next two years leading up to 2010 - a year signaled out in several prophetic channels.

Throughout Psalm 108, there are many terms that apply to nations and people groups in the past, as well as the present and future. What is doubly thrilling about this is that all the nations mentioned are directly involved with the current, globally felt war against Terrorism. To show how Psalm 108 reveals this, abridged portions of its thirteen stanzas will be quoted, followed by interpretations of what people groups and events these verses pertain to.

Let’s begin with the first seven stanzas:

“O God (Elohim), my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise… Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn. I will praise You, O LORD (Yahweh)… among the nations… Be exalted, O God (Elohim), above the heavens, and Your glory above all the earth; That Your beloved (i.e. Jerusalem) may be delivered, save with Your right hand, and hear me. God (Elohim) has spoken in His holiness: ‘I will rejoice; I will divide (or separate) Shechem (a city of refuge in Ephraimite territory which now refers to the Palestinian allotment of land in the West Bank) and measure out (i.e. set apart) the Valley of Succoth (part of Gad’s ancient territory - refers to the Palestinian occupied Gaza Strip).” -Psalm 108:1-7 (NKJ)

Fascinatingly, one of the two portions of land that have been portioned out to the Palestinians is the West Bank, which surrounds Jerusalem on three sides. This portion of land is called Shechem in Psalm 108, and it was rich pastureland when Jacob’s sons tended their father’s flocks there. It was near Shechem that Joseph made his fateful trip out into the fields to check on the welfare of his brothers, only to be beaten, imprisoned, and sold into slavery by them (Genesis 37:13-28). It was also in Shechem where Joseph was later buried.

Interestingly, the story of Joseph’s slavery, and later rise to power in Egypt echoes the current conflict between the West, and the Muslim nations. Perhaps this is why Joseph’s tomb is located in Shechem, or the West Bank, and why the Palestinians barbarically destroyed his tomb in 2003. As shown in my book “The Language of God in Humanity” (read about it at http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Humanity/), Joseph’s two sons Ephraim and Manasseh would come to represent two powerful Gentile nations in the Last Days: The United States (Ephraim), and the United Kingdom (Manasseh).

The Scripture “I will divide (or separate) Shechem” directly states that it is God’s Will that there should be a separation of the West Bank from the rest of Israel through the auspices of the United States, United Kingdom, and United Nations! In double fulfillment of this, the West Bank is now separated, or divided by political strife as well since it was set up as a secular democratic state, but was quickly overrun by fundamentalist Islamic terrorist groups.

Even more fascinating is the fact that “the Valley of Sukkoth” in the preceding Scripture may be referring to the Gaza Strip, which is indeed measured out, or set apart from Israel and the West Bank! These two sections of land were recently given to the Palestinians in order to secure peace with them, and the rest of the Middle East. However, this grand gesture of generosity by Israel has failed miserably in winning support and friendship from the Palestinians, or other Muslim nations.

The reason this modern bid at peace is failing is bound up in the past, and directly relates to the seemingly perpetual blood feuds between Isaac and Ishmael, and Jacob and Esau. It is also tied to the failure of the Israelites to make any lasting peace with the hated Philistines, and Amalekites after the Exodus, and the conquest of Canaan.

Intriguingly, the next two stanzas of Psalm 108 tell us what nations are intimately involved with, or opposed to this dividing up of Israel in an effort to bring peace to the region. It also states which nations are under God’s current control, or acting on His behalf, and also which ones are the targets of His wrath:

“Gilead (i.e. the grandson of Manasseh, likely referring to Canada today) is Mine; Manasseh (the United Kingdom) is Mine; Ephraim (the United States) also is the “helmet for My head” (or chief stronghold); Judah (the nation of ISRAEL) is My lawgiver. Moab (Syria, Iraq, and Iran) is My washpot; over Edom (Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and possibly Yemen and Oman) I will cast My shoe; over Philistia (Lebanon, Syria, Palestinian territories) I will triumph.’ ” -Psalm 108:8-9 (NKJ)

This portion of Scripture indicates that the Western nations with the most troops in Iraq and Afghanistan today, and those most closely allied with Israel today in friendship - the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada - are doing God’s will in the Middle East. So, no matter what people in these countries may think of their current political leaders, or government decisions concerning the War on Terror, these governments are (most likely unwittingly) acting on God’s behalf right now, though I must strongly emphasize here that this situation will change dramatically when the Antichrist becomes leader of the West in Europe sometime during, or after the predicted war described in Psalm 108.

The remaining portion of Psalm 108 tells us that the Western nations allied to Israel are going to have a major military show down with the Islamic terrorists allied against them, which include those living in Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. Now based on my interpretation of Psalms 110 through 118 in “The Language of God in Prophecy”(read about it at http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Prophecy/), this war will likely be waged for two to three years, or until just before the Rapture of the True Church - which could occur in 2010 through 2012 AD. Furthermore, based on the final stanza of Psalm 108, the armies of the West will not be able to defeat their Terrorist enemies unless the people of the West (particularly the USA) openly call upon the God of Israel to help them:

“Who will bring me into the strong (or fortified) city (i.e. Babylon; a.k.a. Iraq - with its many US-built military bases surrounding it)? Who will lead me (in)to Edom (Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and possibly Yemen, and Oman)? Is it not You, O God (Elohim), who cast us off? And You, O God (Elohim), who did not go out with our armies? (OR: Elohim, will You cast us off? Elohim, will You abandon our armies?) Give us help from trouble, for the help of man is useless. Through God (Elohim) we will do valiantly, for it is He who shall tread down our enemies.” -Psalm 108:10-13 (NKJ)

In this final section of Psalm 108, the passage which reads: “it is He who shall tread down our enemies” suggests that God will miraculously intervene, and bless the West with a temporary victory in the Middle East. Furthermore, the lamentations and pleas to God in Psalm 109 - the psalm tied to events in late 2009 through 2010 - indicates that this war will lead to both suffering, and great spiritual revival (as witnessed in this psalm of prayer and lamentation) in the land of Israel, and the countries allied to it:

“But you, O Sovereign LORD (Yahweh), deal well with me for your name's sake; out of the goodness of your love, deliver me. For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. I fade away like an evening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust. My knees give way from fasting; my body is thin and gaunt.” - Psalm 109:21-24 (NIV)

Psalm 109 also suggests that the resolution of this war may lead to a much greater openness among Jews and Arabs to hear the Gospel, and be saved. Perhaps the miraculous events leading to this short-lived victory of Israel and the West against the Arabs will spur this revival, and the sharing of the Good News of the Kingdom of God with all of Abraham’s descendents through Ishmael and Isaac in preparation for the Rapture, and Great Tribulation:

“Help me, O LORD my God (oh Yahweh my Elohim); save me in accordance with your love. Let them know that it is your hand, that you, O LORD (Yahweh), have done it.” “With my mouth I will greatly extol the LORD (Yahweh); in the great throng I will praise him. For he stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save his life from those who condemn him.” - Psalm 109:26-27, 30-31 (NIV)

Could this worldwide time of peace and revival be the result of a peace treaty between Israel and the Arab world that will be signed with the diplomatic help of a politician who either represents, or will become the Antichrist? Based on other clues in Scripture, this peace treaty will likely allow the Jews to build a new Temple adjacent to the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. But that, my friend, is another story.
