UNDERSTANDING THE DARKNESS AND DESTRUCTION OF THE SEALS, TRUMPETS AND BOWLS OF GOD'S WRATH

The Great Destruction and Darkness of the Great Tribulation

Recently, many believers have been talking about some old prophecies made by several 19th Century Catholic women who were known as prophets. These prophecies state that there will be three days of darkness just before or during the Great Tribulation. Some of these prophecies are recalled on the following page on the Catholic "America Needs Fatima" Site, which commemorates Catholic apparitions of Mary and prophecies made by Catholics:

The Three Days of Darkness and

Prophecies of Latter Times

https://americaneedsfatima.org/Prophecies/the-three-days-of-darkness-and-prophecies-of-latter-times.html

Before I continue, please note that I do not support the Roman Catholic Church in any way since they teach many doctrines of demons, including gross idolatry and salvation by works. But many Protestant Christians have been vouching for the validity of these End Time Bible Prophecies. As a result, I have been asked by some concerned Christians to give my view of this prophesied End Time plague of darkness, and I am writing this article in response.

I also want to say that I am NOT in any way trying to instill fear or worry in believers with a review of these plagues of darkness because I firmly believe that all born again saints will be taken up to Heaven in the Rapture before God's Wrath is poured out on the Earth. So we who are saved, justified and sanctified in Yahshua Ha Mashiach or Jesus the Christ need not fear these upcoming events of the Great Tribulation!

Now, let's explore these times of darkness connected to God's Wrath. Of the prophecies cited on the linked-to page on the "America Needs Fatima" Web Site, the ones given to Catholic prophetess Anna Maria Taigi of 19th Century Italy are the most interesting. Two excerpts from her writing on the 3 days of darkness state the following:

“God will send two punishments: one will be in the form of wars, revolutions and other evils; it shall originate on earth. The other will be sent from Heaven. There shall come over the whole earth an intense darkness lasting three days and three nights. Nothing can be seen, and the air will be laden with pestilence which will claim mainly, but not only, the enemies of religion. It will be impossible to use any man-made lighting during this darkness, except blessed candles. He, who out of curiosity, opens his window to look out, or leaves his home, will fall dead on the spot. During these three days, people should remain in their homes, pray the Rosary and beg God for mercy.” 

“All the enemies of the Church, whether known or unknown, will perish over the whole earth during that universal darkness, with the exception of a few whom God will soon convert. The air shall be infected by demons who will appear under all sorts of hideous forms.”

According to these prophecies, no man-made lighting (with the exception of specially blessed candles) will work during the 3 days of darkness, which will kill all the enemies of the Church with pestilences and demons that will infect the atmosphere of the Earth. The prophetess also said that the churches would be closed, and priests and preachers would go into hiding for a short time. Though all of this is certainly possible during the Great Tribulation, we need to examine Scripture to see what may or may not be true about the 3 days of darkness.

Although I do not see great support for a specific belief in exactly three days of darkness in the End Time prophecies of the Bible, there are definitely going to be three plagues of darkness near to the beginning, in the middle, and at the very end of the Great Tribulation that will bring a swift and likely terrifying death to many people on the Earth. These terror-laden periods of darkness will occur when our Father God punishes the wicked upon the Earth by pouring out His Wrath. The first record of a time of darkness during the Great Tribulation comes with a darkening of the Sun and Moon when the Sixth Seal is opened, and God's Wrath officially begins to be poured out on the Earth:

Revelation 6:12-14 (NKJV) ~ “I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.”

Though it is often thought that the Sun and Moon being darkened at the time of the Sixth Seal are due to eclipses, the smoke and ash suspended in the air from fires and volcanoes can also darken the Sun and Moon, and it is my belief that the description of the events of the Sixth Seal details a catastrophic shift of the Earth's crust that will literally move the continents and islands into new locations. Although this certainly could take place over a period of 3 days, my guess is that the darkness caused by the massive numbers of volcanoes that will be erupting all over the world will last for far longer than three days.

The second reference to darkness is at the Fifth Trumpet, when the smoke from the bottomless pit obscures the light of the Sun and Moon, and millions of locust like demons come out of this smoking pit to attack and afflict the wicked (See Revelation 9:1-3). I firmly believe that this smoke is the smoke of the numerous volcanoes that will be set off from the Sixth Seal Pole Shift and Crustal Displacement, as well as from one primary pit-like volcanic caldera that is called the "bottomless pit" because it feeds directly off of the continuously flowing magma streams that move in a circular pattern around the globe, and deep within the Earth - below the Earth's crust, which is literally floating on a bed of molten magma.

This caldera  could specifically be the huge caldera powering the geysers and hot springs of Yellowstone National Park in the Northwestern United States. I've included images here that show that the Yellowstone Caldera is connected to the magma flowing beneath the Earth, and that it is the most active in a chain of mostly inactive calderas that have moved from west to east within the path of the state of Wyoming's Snake River. Viewing these diagrams, it makes me certain that there is a prophetic significance to the fact that the river running through this region is identified with a serpent, which Lucifer used as a disguise when he tempted Eve to disobey God. In any case, Yellowstone National Park would certainly be a great place to hide the bottomless pit within an area of unsurpassed scenic beauty - just as the Devil disguises himself as an Angel of Light.

The third reference to darkness during the Great Tribulation will be at the time of the Fifth Bowl Judgment, and it is the most interesting and potentially terrifying of the three. At that time, the Apostle John the Revelator describes an indeterminate period of great darkness that will come after the Sun scorches the entire Earth with great heat:

Revelation 16:9-11 (NKJV) ~ “And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory. 10 Then the Fifth Angel poured out his (Fifth) bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. 11 They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.”

Though we don't know how long these times of literal darkness will last, the third period of darkness cited above will cause severe pain. This pain could be in reference to the fact that people suffer from many deficiency diseases including Rickets when they don't have enough Vitamin D to stay healthy. Vitamin D is a hormone that is found in certain foods and is also produced in the skin when it is bathed by sunlight, and one of the symptoms of a serious deficiency is severe PAIN in the bones and joints.

These three End Time periods of Great Darkness appear to be a greater reflection of the 3 Days of Darkness judgment that befell Ancient Egypt. That was a darkness that was so dark that it could be felt (See Exodus 10:21-29). Perhaps this was because the Sun is the Earth's source of warmth and light, and without it, the Earth would become extremely cold very quickly. The possibly freezing cold accompanying this darkness would definitely have been felt, and would have zapped the energy out of the Egyptians as they tried to stay warm.

The 3 Days of Darkness on Egypt was the Ninth plague of the Ten that happened when the Pharaoh would not free the Ancient Israelites from slavery so that they could go out into the wilderness, and worship God on His Holy Mountain. The coming times of darkness when the Sixth Seal is opened and the Fifth Bowl is poured out will happen after the Rapture, and it's possible that the Sun scorching the Earth with great heat at the time of the Fourth Bowl Judgment is actually referring to the Sun in our Solar System exhibiting its death throes - when it could expand into a Red Giant star.

Artist's Depiction of a White Dwarf Leaching Matter off of a Red Giant Star

If so, then the Fifth Bowl of God's Wrath may be the result of when this Red Giant star collapses - possibly forming a White Dwarf star that will not throw enough light to heat and light the Earth. If so, this could well be the cause of the great darkness that will cause great physical pain from Vitamin D deficiency, as well as the extreme cold all over the Earth that will ensue, bringing about Ice Age conditions all over the world. If the Sun becomes a dying Red Giant star, and then is reduced to a White Dwarf, this could be the physical cause for the Fourth and Fifth Bowls of God's Wrath. If this is the case, it also suggests that the duration of these Bowl Judgments could last much longer than a few days, and may, in fact, take many months to occur.

Could it be that our Sun will die before the restoration of the Earth and the Cosmos during Christ's Millennial Kingdom? Could the literal death of our Sun be a reflection of God's withdrawal from the Earth, and His judgment of all the inhabitants of the world just before Christ's Second Coming? Will Yahshua reignite our Sun at the time of His Triumphal return with all His angels and Saints? The prophetic words in Isaiah 24 and Isaiah 30 quoted below offer some clues as to the fate of the Earth, the Sun and the Moon before Yahshua's return:

Isaiah 24:21-23 (NKJV) ~

“It shall come to pass in that day

That the Lord will punish on high the host of exalted ones,

And on the earth the kings of the earth.

22 They will be gathered together,

As prisoners are gathered in the pit,

And will be shut up in the prison;

After many days they will be punished.

23 Then the moon will be disgraced

And the sun ashamed;

For the Lord of hosts will reign

On Mount Zion and in Jerusalem

And before His elders, gloriously.”

Referring to the verses in Isaiah 24 quoted above, could the kings be punished by being trapped underground after the Great Earthquake of Revelation 16:17-19, just after the Sun in our Solar System possibly becomes a Red Giant, and then collapses into a White Dwarf? The verses in Isaiah 30 quoted below suggest that this may indeed be the case:

Isaiah 30:25-27 (NKJV) ~

“There will be on every high mountain

And on every high hill

Rivers and streams of waters,

In the day of the great slaughter,

When the towers fall (as all the world's cities are toppled

by a great earthquake? See Rev. 16:17-19, quoted below).

26 Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun,

And the light of the sun will be sevenfold,

As the light of seven days, (the Sun turning into a 

Red Giant surely could cause it to be 7 times brighter

as it expands and possibly incinerates Mercury!)

In the day that the Lord binds up the bruise of His people

And heals the stroke of their wound.

27 Behold, the name of the Lord comes from afar,

Burning with His anger,

And His burden is heavy;

His lips are full of indignation,

And His tongue like a devouring fire.”

Both Isaiah 24 and Isaiah 30 may be referring to the events that will take place on the Earth during the Bowl Judgments described in Revelation Chapter 16. In particular, they may be referring to events tied to the Great Earthquake of Revelation 16:17-19, when the seventh and final Bowl of God's Wrath is poured out on the Earth, and all the cities of the nations will be destroyed as the crust or face of the Earth is violently shaken and broken apart:

“Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. 19 Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.”

The prophecy in Isaiah 13 also speaks of the terrifying events of the Day of the Lord, saying that the Sun and Moon will not give their light. This could be the case if the Sun has collapsed into a White Dwarf by then. As the Sun collapses, it will likely fill the space between it and the Earth with clouds of gas and dust that will obscure and hide the light of the stars in the constellations surrounding the Earth:

Isaiah 13:9-11 (NKJV) ~

“Behold, the day of the Lord comes,

Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger,

To lay the land desolate;

And He will destroy its sinners from it.

10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations

Will not give their light;

The sun will be darkened in its going forth,

And the moon will not cause its light to shine.

11 “I will punish the world for its evil,

And the wicked for their iniquity;

I will halt the arrogance of the proud,

And will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.”

What I've done in this short article is make some plausible suggestions as to why people are prophesying about three days of darkness on the Earth. Although it's uncertain, it's possible that these three days are actually three years when the Sun will turn into a Red Giant, and then will collapse into a White Dwarf surrounded by a gaseous cloud of dust that will bring about months or even years of darkness. If so, this would account for a long time period during the Great Tribulation that will be a very terrifying time to live on the Earth. Sadly, if this occurs, many people and animals not hidden underground will die because the entire surface of the Earth will be a blackened, burnt, desolate, barren, and frozen ice world that will no longer be able to support life at all unless Yahshua eventually restores it, which He will have to before He sets up His earthly Kingdom.

In any case, I am grateful that those of us who love and follow Yahshua will not be here to experience these terrifying events because we will be taken up to Heaven in the Rapture. After we go up, all born again saints will be safely ensconced at the heavenly Wedding Banquet of the Lamb of God, Who is Yahshua. Meanwhile, the Earth will be racked with violent earthquakes, likely causing the Earth's crust to move and collapse as the entire planet reels to and fro in space like a drunkard:

Isaiah 24:19-20 (NKJV) ~

“The earth is violently broken,

The earth is split open,

The earth is shaken exceedingly.

20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard,

And shall totter like a hut;

Its transgression shall be heavy upon it,

And it will fall, and not rise again.”

Yes, in the near future, the Earth is going to fall into great distress and darkness that all the unsaved inhabitants of the Earth that have rejected God and His free gift of Salvation will experience as they die off in great waves of destruction. After the devastation of the world is complete, Yahshua will come again, and He will then move to restore the Earth - and possibly the Sun - in preparation for the setting up of His Millennial Kingdom on the Earth. Remember that Yahshua created the Universe for His Heavenly Father, so it will not be hard for Him to restore our Sun and the Earth!

If you haven't accepted Yahshua as your Savior or Messiah, you will be left behind to experience all the death and destruction that God's Wrath will cause, and it is likely that you will die a horribly painful death in one of God's many coming Judgments! So if you don't want to be left behind to suffer through the Wrath of God, please accept the fact that you are a sinner, repent of your sins now, and ask Yahshua into your life and heart so that you will be saved to obtain everlasting life, and your sins will be forgiven as the Holy Spirit enters your heart to guide and direct you, and seals you as a born again saint that will inherit everlasting life with God.

Maranatha, and God bless you all!

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE COVERED UNDER THE BLOOD OF YAHSHUA - Or What The Blood Of Yahshua (Jesus) Does For Every Born Again Believer

John 6:53-56 Hints That Yahshua's Flesh and Blood Are Found In His Word Via His Spirit
CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE

I did this independent Bible Study concerning the Royal and Holy Blood of Yahshua to clearly show why Yahshua needed to shed His precious and perfect Blood on the Cross for our sins. In this study, I identified three clear and everlasting benefits that were opened up to believers when Yahshua shed His flawless and healing blood. These benefits are found in what His blood does for those who have been born again by His Spirit, and who love and follow Him when in the counsel of that same Spirit.

These Three Benefits - Which Are Only For Those Chosen By God To Receive Them - Are:

1.) His Blood Was Shed To Purchase Our Redemption And Open The Way For Believers To Be Justified (i.e. Forgiven Of All Sin And Made To Appear Righteous Through Christ) Under The New Blood Covenant Of Grace Cut On The Cross And Commemorated Via The Ritual Of The Lord's Supper, Of Which We Should Not Partake Until We Examine Ourselves And Judge Ourselves As Worthy. 

2.) Eating and Drinking In Yahshua's Body And Blood Found In His Covenant Laws Or Commandments Feed Our Souls And Spirits, Marks Our Adoption As Sons And Daughters Into The Family Of God, And Gives Us Everlasting Life So That We No Longer Fear Mortal Death.

3.) His Blood - Shed From His Stripes Or Wounds To Cover Over Our Sins - Heals And Strengthens Our Mortal Bodies When We Judge Ourselves And Conform To His Will Or Commandments.

To show the truth of these three benefits given to believers under the Royal Blood of Yahshua (which makes us hereditary royal heirs of God's Kingdom when we are covered by it through belief in and love of Yahshua - See 1 Peter 2:9), I have found all of the pertinent Scriptures concerning the efficacy and purpose of the shedding of Yahshua precious blood, and I have quoted them below each stated benefit:

1.) His Blood Was Shed To Purchase Our Redemption And Open The Way For Believers To Be Justified (i.e. Forgiven Of All Sin And Made To Appear Righteous Through Christ) Under The New Blood Covenant Of Grace Cut On The Cross And Commemorated Via The Ritual Of The Lord's Supper, Of Which We Should Not Partake Until We Examine Ourselves And Judge Ourselves As Worthy:

Mark 14:22-25 ~ The Ritual of the Lord's Supper Is Inaugurated: “And as they were eating, Jesus (Yahshua) took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” 23 Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 And He said to them, “This is My blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many. 25 Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.””

Luke 22:19-20 ~ “And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’ 20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the New Covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.’ ”

Acts 20:27-28 ~ “For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God. 28 Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.”

Romans 3:21-26 ~ “But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ (i.e. Yahshua the Anointed Messiah), to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (i.e. Our Anointed One or Messiah Yahshua), 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus (Yahshua).”

Romans 5:8-10 ~ “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.”

Hebrews 9:13-15 ~ “For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.”

Ephesians 2:8-13 ~ “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus (Messiah Yahshua) for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. 11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus (Messiah Yahshua) you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.”


2.) Eating and Drinking In Yahshua's Body And Blood Found In His Covenant Laws Or Commandments Feed Our Souls And Spirits, Marks Our Adoption As Sons And Daughters Into The Family Of God, And Gives Us Everlasting Life So That We No Longer Fear Mortal Death (NOTE: This Is Only For Those Chosen By God To Receive It): 

John 6: 43-65 ~ “Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”

52 The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?” 53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. 56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58 This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum. 60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?” 61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus (Yahshua) knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. 65 And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”

Ephesians 1:3-14 ~ “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (Adonai Yahshua the Messiah), who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ (Yahshua the Anointed One or Messiah) to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. 11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”

1 Colossians 1:9-20 ~ “For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.”

Hebrews 2:10-15 ~ “For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 saying:

“I will declare Your name to My brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”
13 And again: “I will put My trust in Him.”
And again: “Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”

14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”


3.) His Blood - Shed From His Stripes Or Wounds To Cover Over Our Sins - Heals And Strengthens Our Mortal Bodies When We Judge Ourselves And Conform To His Will Or Commandments: 

We Judge Ourselves By The Flesh Or Bread 
And Blood Or Wine Of God's Word

1 Corinthians 11:23-26 ~ The Ritual of the Lord's Supper Brings Blessing Or Judgment!:  “For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus (Adonai Yahshua) on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the New Covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. 27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.”

1 Peter 1:13-23 ~ “Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ (Yahshua the Messiah); 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

17 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ (the Anointed One), as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you 21 who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. 22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, 23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever...”

1 Peter 2:20-25 ~ “But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. 21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

22 “Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;

23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. 25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”

~ END OF SCRIPTURE QUOTES ~

CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM THIS STUDY: 

From this study of the most important passages concerning the need for, and the efficacy of the Royal Blood of Yahshua, I learned that we truly are blessed by the blood covering of Yahshua's sacrifice on the Cross with redemption from, and forgiveness of all sin. Through God's Unmerited Favor or Grace, we receive immediate Justification so that we are seen as righteous before God's throne, and we therefore can directly approach God our Heavenly Father with our petitions without the need of a priest or pastor.

I also learned that we are called to undertake our own Sanctification, through which we are called to judge ourselves through careful introspection, and work out our salvation with fear and trembling before the throne of God (Philippians 2:12-13). This can only be done when we are in constant prayer, and draw near to Yahshua through His Holy Spirit, Who directs us to use our spiritual gifts to do good works on behalf of God's people.

Finally, I learned that Yahshua's Blood is meant to heal our blood or DNA, and to give us vibrant health (even in this life!) when we exercise our faith, as well as guarantee our future everlasting perfection after our coming resurrection from the dead. However, this same blood covering can become a curse to those believers who are not actively pursuing their own Sanctification.

In fact, this reluctance on the part of lukewarm or apostate believers who refuse to work out their salvation can actually lead to the sickness and disease of their bodies. If not corrected, this reluctance to seek sanctification before God by keeping His commandments, and heeding the lead of the Holy Spirit can lead to the premature death of those who are disobedient, and do not judge their actions and deeds in the light of God's commandments.

Sanctification can therefore only progress in believers who are studying God's Word - and specifically His Moral Law - to see where they have gone astray. This can then lead to further Sanctification as believers ask God the Father to lead them to correct their mistakes, and to become more like Yahshua in action, word and deed via the prompting of His indwelling Spirit.

I found this study to be very enlightening, and I hope that it will prove to be a blessing to all of you, especially those of you who are inexplicably sick, and are seeking full healing and restoration from God.

HEAVENLY SIGNS THAT THE RAPTURE COULD OCCUR DURING THE AUTUMN FEASTS IN 2018!

October 11th, 2018, True Feast of Trumpets -
A Month later than the Jewish Calendar Shows! Click to Enlarge. 
For Best View, Right Click, and Open In New Window

The Feast of Trumpets, 9 Days of Awe, the Day of Atonement, and the week-long Feast of Tabernacles are coming up, and this is what they mean for Born Again Saints! Yom Teruah or the Feast of Trumpets is also known as Rosh Hashanah or the "first of the year". It is the first of the Autumn Feasts, and it is supposed to fall on the 1st day of the 7th Hebrew month called Tishri. However, it is not the first day of the Israelite Sacred Year, but of the Jewish Civil Year. The ten days starting with the Feast of Trumpets and ending with the Day or Atonement or Yom Kippur are known as the Days of Awe (Yamim Noraim) or the Days of Repentance. In Judaism, this is a time for serious introspection, a time to consider the sins of the previous year and repent before Yom Kippur so that one's name will still be found written in the Book of Life.

For Born Again believers that love and follow Yahshua's commandments, and therefore have the assurance of the Seal of the Holy Spirit guaranteeing that their names have been written in the Book of Life, it is not a time to mourn, but a time of joyful anticipation of the coming Catching Away or Harpazo/Rapture - also known as our Blessed Hope, which could be tied to anytime during the 22 days between the Feast of Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah and the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot.

This year, though this 20 day Rapture Watch period will fall between the evening of September 9-10th and September 30th this year per the most widely accepted Jewish Calendars, it appears that - per the Signs in the Heavens - this 20 day period will actually fall between the evening of October 10th and the evening of October 30th, 2018. So we have a long Rapture Watch period this autumn that will extend all the way to the end of October this year.

In this article, I want to show why I think the actual Feast of Trumpets of 2018 may begin on the night of October 10th, 2018, and last for two days - through to sunset on October 12th. My conclusion is based on the Signs in the Heavens rather than on the Feast of Trumpets marked on the Orthodox Online Jewish Calendar, which shows that the Feast of Trumpets will fall on September 10th and 11th, 2018. But the New Moon likely won't be visible on the night of September 9th, or early morning on September 10th either. Because the Moon will be too close to the Sun and the New Moon crescent will not be visible, September 10th probably won't be the first day of the Feast of Trumpets.

Before I explain more about why I feel this way, let's take a quick look in Scripture for the main verse that tells us why these Heavenly Signs are so important for us to look at. The disciple of Yahshua or Jesus named Luke, a physician who wrote the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts, recorded Yahshua as saying the following to His disciples shortly before His crucifixion and resurrection:

“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” ~ Luke 21:25-26 

This portion of Luke Chapter 21 and all of that chapter parallels Yahshua's End Time Signs Discourse in Chapter 24 in the Gospel of Matthew. Both of these Gospel chapters say that the End Times will be marked by unusual Signs in the Sun, Moon and stars. Fascinatingly, as the graphic below documents, there are many Heavenly Signs that God has shown me over the past 12 years, and in retrospect, I now believe that the Heavenly Signs between 2010 and 2019 appear to be pointing to the Feast of Trumpets in 2018 as a possible time for the Rapture or catching away of the saints. This is because of the unusual set of Triple Blood Moons that mark both 2011 and 2018 on the graphic below. Furthermore, 2018 is a Jubilee year, and the Rapture is also thematically tied to the cancelling of debts and the rest from work associated with the Jewish year of Jubilee:

According to the Jewish Calendar. the Feast of Trumpets will be on September 10th and 11th, 2018, followed by Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement on September 19th, and the week-long harvest Feast called the Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot five days later - from September 24th to September 30th, 2018. Keep in mind here that there is also an eighth day of Assembly marking the close of the Autumn Feasts on October 1st 2018. Of these, the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement are the most likely ones that will mark the Rapture, or the escalation of world events that will rapidly lead to the Rapture of the Bride of Christ and the Wise Virgins. As shown in the extremely detailed proposed Tribulation Timeline graphic above that I first created and shared in mid 2013, the Signs in the Heavens that I have found to be most highly significant span across all of these years.

An interesting thing to note here is that, at one point, I was convinced that the Feast of Trumpets that fell on September 9th and 10th, 2010 was the one that would mark the Rapture of the Bride of Christ, and that the signs that followed this date were marking the supposed seven years of the Great Tribulation (which is actually only three and a half years). But instead, it appears to have marked the Tribulation period that was to come before the Great Tribulation that Yahshua or Jesus talked about in the message to His Apostles that is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 24.

Remarkably, this time period has seen a dramatic escalation in ALL of the heavenly and earthly signs that Yahshua told His disciples to watch for as the Sign of the Son of Man approached that would mark when the Rapture would take place. There have especially been many signs in nature in the form of dramatic increases in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, violent storms, tornadoes, floods, fires, sinkholes, insect, bird, fish and animal deaths, and fireballs spotted in the heavens. There has also been much distress among the nations, with increased terrorism, increased lawlessness, and much wickedness in high places being exposed.

In retrospect, as I reflect on all the heavenly signs I've reviewed over the years with detailed explanatory graphics like the ones shown in this article, many of them have shown that the promised Rapture of the Saints is near, and these promises in the heavens have blessed the saints and kept them hopeful. To see a clear breakdown of the signs and what they mean, please read the text on the full color graphics in this article, as they are very interesting, and well worth pondering. Nonetheless, there has been some discouragement too.

For example, many born again saints believed that the Sign of the Woman Clothed With The Sun on September 23rd, 2017, which appeared a day after Yom Teruah or the Feast of Trumpets in 2017 (See the graphic below) was the Sign of the Son of Man that would immediately appear in the sky before the Rapture. But alas, it was not the full revelation of it. Personally, I think the Sign of the Son of Man is a series of heavenly signs, and that they began in earnest in 2010. However, the Sign of the Woman Clothed With The Sun of September 23rd was a powerful sign that the return of Yahshua to retrieve His Bride and glorify her in the Rapture is very near.

Based on my findings, which are partly shown in the Starry Night Pro Screenshot graphic at the beginning of this article, it's possible that the Signs in the Heavens on October 11th, 2018 could also mark the timing of the Rapture, or of events that will rapidly lead to it. This year, the online Jewish Calendar at Hebcal.com has designated September 10th and 11th as Rosh Hashanah or the Feast of Trumpets, which marks the beginning of the Jewish Autumn Feasts. But according to the Signs in the Heavens and the Autumn Equinox, which falls on September 22nd this year, the Feast of Trumpets really should have been delayed until October of this year. Although the Signs in the Heavens for either month are interesting, and could be signaling the coming of the Rapture, October is the month when the Sun will be in Virgo, which signifies the birth of Ancient Israel, as well as the birth of the Messiah or the Man Child of Revelation 12.

Now, because of some Jewish expression clues left in the New Testament, the Rapture is thematically tied to the Feast of Trumpets, which could only be announced when the priests on the Temple Mount sighted the first faint silver of the New Moon, usually just after sunset on the night of the Feast. Remember, Jewish days begin at dusk on the night before. This year, that New Moon will likely not be sighted until the night of September 11th, 2018, as the next graphic in this article below shows:

Evening Sept. 11th, 2018, Jewish Calendar Feast of Trumpets Actually Begins.
Will Continue Through September 12th-13th, 2018. Click to Enlarge.

Traditionally, Rosh Hashanah or the Feast of Trumpets is considered to be the beginning of the year on the Jewish Civil Calendar, although the Jewish Sacred Calendar begins on Nissan 1 in the Spring. However, the Moon is going to be way too close to the Sun to be spotted with the naked eye on the night of September 10th, 2018. In fact, according to the above graphic that I created using Starry Night Pro, the Moon won't be far enough away from the Sun to be seen after sunset until the evening of September 11th, 2018. In addition, the Sun will NOT be in the sign of Virgo yet on that date, and this is the Sign that actually should mark the beginning of the Fall Feasts, and NOT Leo, where the Sun will still be in mid September. So I believe that the actual New Moon sliver of a crescent marking the Feast of Trumpets may actually be occurring on October 11th of this year, when the Sun will be squarely in the middle of the body of the heavenly Virgin, as shown in the graphic at the top of this article.

Since the New Moon crescent this September will likely first be visible only on the evening of September 11th, 2018, this would make September 12th and 13th the possible Feast of Trumpets, and the possible D-Days of our Deliverance from this sinful, decaying, dying world. In that regard, I'm so looking forward to our entrance into our Heavenly Father's House in the glorious Kingdom of Heaven to attend the Wedding of the Lamb of God - Yahshua our Bridegroom - to His beloved Bride, the Two-House Church of Judah and Ephraim. However, as I explained earlier, it appears that October should be the actual seventh month on the Jewish Calendar this year rather than September, making October 11th and 12th, 2018 the true Feast of Trumpets. But if the Rapture does occur on September 11th, it will mark the anniversary of September 11th, 3 BC, when Yahshua's Sign of imminent birth - The Woman Clothed With The Sun - appeared in Heaven above Jerusalem, as shown in the graphic below:

This amazing Heavenly Sign on September 11th, 3 BC was announcing that Yahshua was about to be born in Bethlehem of Judea sometime around the three Autumn Feasts, which begin with the Feast of Trumpets and end with the week-long Olive and Grape Harvest celebration of Sukkot or the Feast of Tabernacles. However, in my Language of God Series books that are available to purchase, I surmised that - from careful stellar observations in a professional Astronomy program called Starry Night Pro - that Yahshua may actually have been born on Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement in 3 BC, and Yom Kippur falls ten days after the Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah.

Interestingly, the Bible also states the fact that all Jubilee years are to be marked as beginning on the Day of Atonement, which is when the names of those who are saved will be signed and sealed in God's Book of Life. In Leviticus 25, verse 9, quoted below, it clearly says that the trumpet of the Jubilee is to sound on the 10th day of the seventh month, which is the Day of Atonement. The quotes from the Book of Revelation that follow the quote from Leviticus show that the Book of Life is a real heavenly document that lists all those who will be saved and granted everlasting life:

Leviticus 25:8-10 ~ “And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. 9 Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. 10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family.”

Revelation 13:7-9 ~ “It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” 

Revelation 20:11-15 ~ “Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.”

So, since the Jubilee of 2018 started on the Day of Atonement in 2017, it officially will end on the Day of Atonement this year, which is either on September 21st or October 20th this year, depending on whether you want to follow the Jewish Calendar or the Signs in the Heavens, which are pinpointing October as the correct month for the Autumn Feasts to begin. According to a word that the Lord gave to me last year, I also firmly believe that a Day of Atonement is going to mark the end of the Age of Grace, although I was not shown in which year this would be.

Due to this word, it makes sense to me that the Day of Atonement may also mark the Rapture, and the deliverance of those whose names are firmly written in the Book of Life. But even though I think the Day of Atonement at the end of this Jubilee year fits the criteria for being tied to the Rapture best, God our Heavenly Father will choose the day of the Rapture, and it could be at any time, and we know from all the signs that it is soon. Nonetheless, it's clear from the scripture references to trumpets and the last trump in regard to the Rapture in 1 Corinthians 15:51-53 that the Rapture theme fits a time when trumpets figure prominently, as they do in all the Feasts of Israel, but especially in connection with the Feast of Trumpets. As the end of an Age, the Rapture should be tied to trumpets marking the end of a season or year that opens the way to a new season or year, which is what the horns blown on the Feast of Trumpets, and at the beginning and end of a Jubilee year are meant to announce.

Back when I wrote my book "The Language of God in Prophecy" in 2006, I didn't have a full picture of the meaning of the Signs in the Heavens between 2010 and 2019. I only knew that they were important, and might mark the timing of the events leading up to the Great Tribulation, or the Great Tribulation itself. Later on though, because I was told that all of Daniel's Seventieth Week was not speaking about seven literal days, but referring to the seven years of the Great Tribulation, I assumed that these may indeed mark the time of the Great Tribulation for several compelling reasons. But these all proved to be wrong, and this was partly due to one glaring fact. The Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation both clearly teach that the Great Tribulation is only three and a half years, as shown by being referred to as 1,260 days or 42 weeks in various places in both books.

I have long been aware that Yom Teruah or the Feast of Trumpets has a definite connection to the Rapture of the Church and the Last Trumpet that the Apostle Paul spoke of in reference to the Catching Away or Rapture in 1 Corinthians 15:51-53, where it says:

“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”

This year, the last trump reference in the above scripture has even more significance because 2018 is a Jubilee Year, or the Special 50th year in a Biblical Jubilee Cycle that once marked the Forgiveness of all Debts and the Freedom from all Slavery in Ancient Israel, and this special Jubilee ends on the Feast of Trumpets, which the Jews will celebrate beginning at sunset on September 9th, and ending at dusk on September 11th, 2018, since it is traditionally celebrated for two days in a row. But the real Feast of Trumpets may well be in October of this year, which means we should not get discouraged if the Rapture does not occur this September, or even if it does not occur this year. In addition, we need to remember that there have been numerous signs that we are very close to the end of this Age of Grace. So even if we're still here after the Autumn Feasts have passed, we should keep looking up, for our redemption draws ever nearer, and there are many signs that our Blessed Hope in the Rapture will not be in vain!

Praise Yahweh Elohim, His Son Yahshua
and the Holy Spirit for the Rapture! 

Yahshua is Coming Soon For His Beloved Bride!

HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED (OSAS) DOCTRINE

There are many godly believers that uphold the Once Saved, Always Saved doctrine, and I honestly used to be one of this controversial doctrine's biggest opponents. But God has since shown me the error of my thinking. Because it's NOT all about us, and what we can do, but about God's Incredible Love, Power and Might, and what He WILL DO for us - despite our inability to stay free from sin!

Nonetheless, there are some problems with the way OSAS is often presented that riles up more legalistic Christians and Messianics, and I want to address these problems here. I think the BIGGEST PROBLEM with OSAS is in the semantics of how Salvation and BELIEF are defined by some. The way Scripture as a whole reveals it, we are saved and sanctified as we grow in our ability to LOVE and follow Yahshua and His Commandments, which means we have to read or hear these commandments in Scripture by studying (For Scripture Proof, See John 15:9-11; 1 John 2:2-4; 1 John 3:21-23; 1 John 5:1-3). We also have to ask Yahshua and His Spirit into our lives and decisions. That is the essence of what believing in Yahshua MEANS. When we fail to do this consistently, we are in DANGER of losing our salvation - if it was ever ours to begin with.

I say this because, once the Holy Spirit is INSIDE your mind, spirit and heart, you will hear the voice of God's Counselor guiding you with actual Scripture quotes and Words of Knowledge or Flashes of Insight, and you will be prompted on what to do or how to act when you ASK the Holy Spirit. If you do not hear the voice of the Holy Spirit guiding you, then you are technically not born again, and may not be saved unless you believe that Yahshua is the Son of God, King of kings, and Savior of all. This is because Scripture says that the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit is the SEAL of our salvation, so - IF we are born again - we should be hearing from God through the gifts of the Spirit that manifest within us in dreams, visions and/or words of knowledge on a fairly regular basis.

The Apostle Paul referred to being born again as "the circumcision of the heart", since circumcision of the penis was viewed as the seal of those born to serve God and love Him, and to do His Will in this fallen world. This was true for all the husbands, wives and children of Israel born without fornication. (For Scripture Proof, See John 10:7-17; John 10:25-30; John 14:15-18; Romans 2:28-29; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22; Ephesians 1:12-14; 1 John 5:1-3). But when the heart is circumcised, you are in a love relationship with God that is very intimate. As a result, there is excellent communication between your spirit and God's Spirit. This will ensure that your works will be directed by the Holy Spirit, and therefore will be pleasing to God as a sweet savor. For a better understanding of how OSAS is true in the context of a love relationship with Yahshua, read how Yahshua said that those who believe in Him can never be lost in John 10:27-30:

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 I and My Father are one.” ~ John 10:27-30

This means that it's NOT about how well we can follow Yahshua after we are born again, but about how well God can hold onto us, and God is able to hold onto us no matter what. That's because the Holy Spirit will not let us forget Who we belong to when we are born again!

One final thing I want to point out about the OSAS doctrine is that being saved is not the same thing as being sanctified. If we are saved and born again by our faith in Yahshua's power to save us, but we are not sanctified because we are ignoring the Holy Spirit's promptings, and we don't do very well at keeping God's commandments, we can lose our REWARDS, but not our salvation. People like this are still saved, but as through the fire (See 1 Corinthians 3:11-15). Sadly for them, the Rapture and Millennial Kingdom of Yahshua are rewards given only to sanctified, born again saints. So those who have lost their rewards will NOT take part in the Rapture, but they will likely take part in the Millennial Kingdom after being tried by the fire of the Great Tribulation. Also, those who are saved by Grace through belief in Yahshua during His Millennial rule will be raised to everlasting life and will escape being cast into Hell at the end of the thousand years

Please Study the Scripture references I have given you in this short article, and read all of the Gospel of John and the 3 Epistles of John to get a better understanding of what it means to BELIEVE in Yahshua and to be saved by Him. Links to these Bible Books have been provided in this paragraph in blue. If nothing else, always remember what Yahshua said, keeping in mind that His Commandments, though simplified, are essentially the SAME as Our Heavenly Father's Moral Law in the Old Testament:

“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.” ~ John 15:9-10 

Also, read the closing Benediction in the Epistle of Jude below for more proof that God can and WILL save us even if we fail, and commit it to memory:

~*~ Jude 1:24-25 ~*~

“Now to Him who is able to keep you 

from stumbling,

And to present you faultless

Before the presence of His glory

with exceeding joy,

25 To God our Savior,

Who alone is wise,

Be glory and majesty,

Dominion and power,

Both now and forever.

Amen!”

Hallelu-Yah for that!

Closing Note: I wrote this article in response to another person's article condemning OSAS. But despite my article, they do not understand the power of God to save us, and she and her followers kept bringing up King Saul - asking me to explain how King Saul could fall away if he was saved. This was my response to their question:

King Saul was not saved by Yahshua's Grace. He was under a different dispensation under the Law, which was essentially the conviction of sin without everlasting forgiveness in Christ. Saul's salvation depended on his strength of will to keep God's commandments and on the daily blood sacrifices of innocent animals in the Temple. But once we are born again and forgiven of all sin, it's God's Will that will prevail over us in His loving care and keep us on the narrow path that leads to everlasting life. That's why a person who is truly born again cannot fall away from the faith. God can hold onto us and keep us saved by the power of His Holy Spirit, no matter how hard life gets for us.

Praise Yahweh Elohim, and His Son Yahshua
and the Holy Spirit for that! 

God's WILL, not ours, will prevail!

This New, Heavily Detailed Graphic depicts the Revelation 13 Sign of the Beast From The Sea that is Shown as it will appear on August 4th, 2018, and it is just as it was revealed in the Five Doves Article linked to at the end of this post. Please read that article to get an understanding of what the dashed line that is cutting across the center of my graphic with the Scripture excerpts from Revelation 13 running along it means. This detailed graphic has been uploaded below. Please download the graphic so that you can enlarge it and read all the text added to it to find out what the Gospel in the Stars is for all the constellations shown that have some bearing on our Redemption and Deliverance through Yahshua our Messiah.

As a Sacred Astronomer, I have created this graphic to show that the hypothesis made about the Beast from the Sea of Revelation Chapter 13 being depicted by a Direct Line from the constellation of Draco the Dragon to Hydra the Serpent is absolutely correct! This Symbolism is tied to the Signs of the Mazzaroth as described in Revelation 13, and it forms a Sky Date Line targeting August 4th as important to the life of the Beast and the Red Dragon, although the exact year is not indicated. It just reveals the day that is tied to the angle of the dashed pink star date line in my graphic where it crosses the Ecliptic.

If you draw a line from Polaris to the Sun in Cancer and beyond it in my Star Map, it will directly target the head of Hydra under Cancer. I used the brightest star in Hydra as a marker in my graphic. But the head of Hydra is what the feet of the Messiah will crush, and it is targeted on August 4th. This is how the Graphic reveals Yahshua's role in healing the breach between God and Man that the Devil caused, as shown in this close up. It can be seen in the front paws or feet of Leo representing Yahshua as the Lion of Judah crushing the head of Hydra the Serpent or Beast from the Sea in an allusion to the first prophecy in the Bible found in Genesis 3:15:

Since August 4th is Barack Obama's supposed birth date, it implicates him as the possible Antichrist or Son of Perdition. However, it also reveals that the Beast is not one person or one nation, but a league of nations. This league of nations could be none other than the United Nations - with the United Kingdom figuring prominently in the set up of the Beast's Kingdom, which has been dubbed the New World Order by the Illuminati. Ominously, the United Kingdom has a beastly Lion on its Royal Arms, and it is affiliated with the Red Dragon on the Welsh Flag because Wales is a part of the United Kingdom, and it is where NATO often meets to discuss policy.

The date of August 4th in this era also may be targeting the time of the birth of the Man Child that is issued forth from the Woman Clothed With The Sun that is described in Revelation 12, and was depicted in the heavens on Rosh Hashanah, September 23rd, 2017 within the Sign of Virgo the Virgin. As a symbol for the Messiah of Israel, the Man Child may be meant to depict the symbolic ONE NEW MAN of Ephesians 2:15, which is made up of the natural cultivated and grafted in wild branches of the Olive Trees in Romans Chapter 11 that the resurrected Church will form at the time of the Rapture!

This doesn't necessarily mean that the Rapture is going to happen on August 4th - though I TRULY HOPE that it will! But it certainly could be on that day, or around that time! So Keep looking UP Everybody! :-D

May Yahweh God Bless You All! It is My Hope That

Yahshua our Messiah is Coming Again Very Soon!

MARANATHA!
