END OF THE SIXTH DISPENSATION: THE SIGN OF THE 30-YEAR 153/11 WHIRLPOOL CROSS CODE

Most scholars agree that God has laid out the history of man to include seven dispensations: Innocence; Conscience; Human Government; Promise; Law; Grace; and the Messianic Kingdom. It seems that in each case, the dispensation fails with catastrophe and judgment:

• Innocence ended with the fall of Adam and eviction from Eden.
• Conscience ended with the destruction of mankind in Noah’s Flood.
• Human Government ended with the Tower of Babel and the confusion of tongues.
• Promise ended with Egypt’s judgment and the Exodus.
• Law ended at Calvary with the crucifixion of Christ. Since then, we now live in the dispensation of
• Grace – it will end with Armageddon and the return of Christ.

The Messianic Kingdom will end with the final battle of Gog and Magog at the end of the seventh millennium.

Also, in every case, there was a time of transition between the dispensations. In this study, I would like to probe the subject of just when the dispensation of Grace began. Some say it began with the resurrection of Christ. Others say the church was born on Pentecost. I think I agree with both concepts because there was a transitional period in which the old dispensation gave way to the new.

The Ascension

On the day of his ascension, Jesus met with his disciples on the Mount of Olives. It had been forty days since his crucifixion and resurrection. Pentecost was only ten days away. The account is recorded in Acts chapter 1, and the event holds a special key to help us understand the transfer of the dispensation. The disciples addressed an extremely important question: “Lord, will you at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” (Acts 1:6).

They did not ask, “Will there be a kingdom?” That is a foregone conclusion – there will be a kingdom. Nor did they ask, “Will you transfer the kingdom to the New Testament church?” We must understand that the kingdom is not negotiable. The Lord has every intention of establishing a world kingdom in Jerusalem. The only question involved is, “When?”

There are some who contend that the kingdom will never come to Earth. They spiritualize the prophetic promises of the Old Testament and claim that we shall only receive some vague “pie in the sky” in the “sweet by and by.” They do not understand that Jesus Christ will literally return to Earth to establish his throne in the city of Jerusalem.

But the disciples understood, asking neither, “Will there be a kingdom?” nor “Whose kingdom shall it be?” They only asked, “When?“

There have been some in Church history who have thought that Rome would establish the kingdom of Heaven. But such has not been the case. “Paradise Lost” has not been regained, nor will it be until Jesus Christ, himself, returns to Earth to destroy the great enemy of the human race and establish his throne.

The disciple’s question to Jesus of “when” the Savior would enact this plan was not satisfyingly answered. He told them flatly: “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in his own power” (Acts 1:7).

This was an incredible answer. He was evasive and ambiguous. He did not say that the kingdom would not be established at that time, nor did he say that it would. He left them hanging – but for a very good reason. His answer left them with the possibility that the kingdom could yet be established in their generation. As far as they knew, Christ could still return in their lifetime to restore the kingdom to Israel.

Throughout the book of Acts, the disciples preached “the hope of Israel.” Even after Gentiles began to be converted, “the hope of Israel” was still their main message. The Gospel message was reserved for the “Jew first” throughout the book of Acts.

To the Jew Only

At first, it was to the Jew only. You may recall that Jesus said …

“I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 15:24).

When Jesus commissioned his 12 disciples in Matthew 10:5-7, he told them …

“Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand” (Matthew 10:5-7).

At that time, Jesus had no message for the Gentiles. He was offering a kingdom to the Jewish nation – yet they refused.

After his crucifixion and resurrection, however, he offered a second invitation to the Jewish nation, giving them yet another opportunity to establish the Kingdom of Heaven. But again, they refused. But when the disciples posed the question of “when,” Jesus told them to tarry in Jerusalem until they be indued with power from on high. Then he said …

“You shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

They were to return to Jerusalem and offer the kingdom to Israel once again. However, we should note that the invitation was altered. No longer was it to the Jew only. At this point, it was only to the “Jew first,” indicating that Gentiles would be added to the kingdom. No longer were they commissioned to go just to the Jews. At this point and throughout the book of Acts, the disciples were commissioned to go to the “Jew first,” but also to the rest of the world. The offer of the kingdom was still valid. It was as if God were giving them a second chance – even after they had crucified their Messiah.

The Parable of the Marriage Feast

I believe we can see this extended offer in one of the parables given by Jesus. In Matthew 22, Jesus said that the kingdom of Heaven was like unto a certain king, which made a marriage to his son. He sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding, but they would not come. That was invitation number one.

However, once the food had been prepared with the oxen and fatlings killed, he sent forth his servants a second time with yet another invitation for those people to come to the marriage. But, he said …

“They made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise” (Matthew 22:5).

Still others who were bidden took his servants and entreated them spitefully and slew them. That parable sets forth a prophecy of what happened during the period covered by the book of Acts. The Father in Heaven, having sent his Son to prepare the marriage, had been offended when the invitation was declined. However, once his Son had been sacrificed and the wedding prepared, he sent his servants to issue a second invitation, which can be seen throughout the book of Acts.

As in the parable, Israel made light of the opportunity. They were too wrapped up in the affairs of life to welcome the kingdom, while others took the servants of God and treated them spitefully – even bringing on a great wave of persecution against the disciples and their converts. Their stories are given in the book of Acts.

The parable concludes with judgment …

“But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city” (Matthew 22:7).

Because the Jewish people rejected this second invitation to establish the kingdom, which was given throughout the book of Acts, God burned their beloved city. The destruction of Jerusalem took place just seven years after the close of Acts 28. Roman soldiers burned the city of Jerusalem and destroyed Herod’s Temple.

With the conclusion of the book of Acts, the second invitation to establish a Jewish kingdom was set aside, and the invitation to attend the marriage took on a distinctly Gentile flavor. According to the Parable in Matthew 22, the king said …

“Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests” (Matthew 22:8-10).

For these past approximately two-thousand years the invitation has been going forth – but not to the Jews only. In fact, after the last chapter of the book of Acts, it was not even to the Jew first. It eventually became an invitation given primarily to Gentiles. The promise of the kingdom of Heaven was laid aside for a future generation, and nation, that can be seen in another statement made by Jesus …

“Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof” (Matthew 21:33-43).

Jesus was that Cornerstone, rejected by the Jewish nation approximately 2,000 years ago. It is here that I wish to go against the grain just a bit and offer a different view that some hold regarding this future nation (future from the time of Jesus) that would be given the kingdom in order to produce the fruits of the vineyard that Jesus wanted Israel to produce from the start, but didn’t because of their rejection of the Messiah. It would be, in essence, the “new vineyard” that would be given the lease temporarily that was first held by the original vineyard – Israel. Traditionally, some have said that this future nation that would be given the lease of the vineyard is the Church and some have even made the case that it is a future Jewish nation “bringing forth” certain fruits. The argument goes that this is a reference to his previous parables. Like the fruitless fig tree, the generation of Jesus’ day bore no fruit. And you may recall that he put a curse on that fig tree, but later told his disciples that one day that fig tree would come to life again, and when it does, it will bring forth fruit. To that fig tree, the kingdom is promised.

That “fig tree,” which is the modern nation of Israel, shot forth its leaves in 1948 upon being reestablished as a nation. It is said that one day that nation will once again bring forth the desired “fruits of the kingdom” for which is was originally destroyed from not producing those same fruits. Presumably, this reestablished nation of Israel will be bringing forth those fruits during the millennial kingdom reign of Christ on Earth, thus fulfilling the prophecy of the Matthew 21 “future vineyard.”

However, is this particular prophecy of the “vineyard” referring to the future nation of Israel that Christ will rule and reign from? Although Jerusalem will indeed be the headquarters for the future millennial reign of Christ, there is an alternative and very credible view that holds that this future “nation” mentioned by Jesus that will be temporarily given the lease to the “vineyard” is none other than the United States of America – and this view has quite an impressive treasure chest of evidence to suggest as much. As we all know, it is the Church for the last approximately 2,000 years (the sixth dispensation called the Age of Grace, or the “Church Age) that has been producing the fruit of God’s kingdom by spreading forth the gospel message of salvation through Christ to the nations of the earth.

But notice in the parable that the vineyard will be “let out” (KJV). “Let out” here means to be “leased out.” That would mean that it is not a “permanent” title holder to the lease. The implication is that when the lease is up, or expired, the lease goes back to the original owner. Were it not for those two words “let out,” I could go along with the narrative that this prophecy is strictly speaking of the reestablished fig tree that shall once again produce fruit in the coming millennial kingdom. If the vineyard is “leased out” to another nation, how could we then say that this prophecy is strictly speaking of Israel. If it were speaking of reestablished Israel, then the lease of the vineyard would not qualify as being a “lease” to another nation because it would never have been taken away to begin with. If it were end times reestablished Israel, then it would not qualify as a “lease” ever taken from them to begin with as described in the Matthew 21 parable. It would qualify to still be Israel’s lease that never got taken away and lent out to another as the parable tells us if it were still speaking of Israel. But make no mistake, seeing that it is a “lease,” it will indeed go back to the original owner. In the meantime, until that happens, the lease to the vineyard currently belongs “somewhere else.” Someone else currently has the lease. As the parable states, it is lent out to “another nation.”

Some would contend, based on 1 Peter 2:7-9, that the church generally speaking is this nation.  In part this may be correct.  However, due to the particular word used in Jesus’ prophecy of the word “nation,’ it becomes highly credible that he was referring to a specific group, nation or race of people.  There are several uses of this Greek word “nation.”  One is “genos,” which means “a race” or “kind.”  The second word or use of nation in Greek is allophulos, which means “another tribe” “foreign or of another race.”  The use of this word can be found in Acts 10:28.  But the third and most common word in the New Testament for nation is “ethnos,” meaning a nation or people.  This is the particular rendering of the word “nation” that Jesus used in his prophecy of the vineyard in Matthew 21 when he dramatically stated that he would take the kingdom of God, or vineyard, from Israel and give it to another nation.

Further, this new lease holder has been, and is still currently producing the desired fruits of the kingdom as per the parable. It is this current lease holder that is meant to usher in the end of the sixth dispensation of the Church Age of Grace before the rapture occurs and the judgment of the Tribulation Period sets in – to then give way to the coming Millennial Kingdom reign of Christ on Earth for 1,000 years before eternity begins. In a previous posting, the case was, in my opinion, sufficiently made that America is, in fact, this last days vineyard that Jesus spoke of (see here).

It is against this backdrop that I wish to now present an interesting phenomenon that occurred in the heavens in the form of a discovery of astronomical proportions. Many may have already seen this discovery/picture before, but I do not think that many have taken note of the seemingly peculiar timing of its release and the subtle prophetic message behind its timing in conjunction with its more obvious overt message of the cross and the scope of that message behind its discovery that I think the Lord would have us to see. The timing of its discovery, the source of its release to the world and the astronomical location of the universe that it was discovered in is rather telling given our discussion two postings back, which you can read about here.

The Galactic Crucial Crucible: The 30-Year Sign of the Galactic Cross?

Fairly recently, astronomers discovered an amazing object in the heavens. Some have dubbed it a “celestial cross.”

The most majestic and beautiful objects in the universe are the galaxies. Awe-inspiring photographs of them grace the pages of astronomical photo collections, boggling the mind with their endless variation. Around their edges, they usually feature an array of spiral arms, or a gaseous nebulosity that thins into a tenuous curtain that stretches across the vastness of space.

But at the center of virtually every galaxy is a brilliant spheroid of light, made up of hundreds of thousands of stars. At the galaxy’s core, they are so closely spaced that they produce a uniform, powerful light that has the appearance of being solid. In reality, these myriad stars are gathered around an organizing framework. What structures lie within the impenetrable glare?

For many years, astronomers have conjectured that these close congregations of stars may conceal a sort of cosmic whirlpool, which has been dubbed a “black hole.” In theory, such a monster would be created when a super-massive star or star cluster collapses of its own weight into a super-dense mass with such enormous gravitational force that nothing – not even light – can escape its gravitational grip. Since the theory was developed, they have been looking for the tell-tale signs that would mark such an anomaly. But nothing of the sort has been visible.

However, the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope spotted a peculiar formation in the center of the Whirlpool galaxy some 20 million light-years from Earth. The Whirlpool galaxy is an interacting grand design spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. It was the first galaxy to be classified as a spiral galaxy. A startling photo was released during the 2nd week of June 1992 and published in TIME magazine, in the June 22nd edition.

The Hubble telescope, taking advantage of the fact that it doesn’t have to peer through a distorting atmosphere, has been able to see farther with more clarity than any optical telescope ever built.

In this photograph, a mammoth “X” is seen at the galaxy’s center. According to TIME editors …

“The scientists think one arm of the X is a massive, doughnut-shaped cloud of dust swirling around the hole. The doughnut is seen edge on, hiding the black hole from view, but two cone-shaped beams of light emitted by hot gas closer in can be seen escaping out the sides. As for the second arm, no one knows what it is.”

According to theory, the escaping light is not from the black hole itself, but from energized particles of dust and gas that brighten as they approach the point of maximum acceleration on their spiraling, one-way trip into the maw of the black hole. Their great burst of light is a sort of final farewell to a universe that will never again witness their presence.

Some may be thinking that just perhaps, this is an example of Project Blue Beam technology at work. Anything is possible and we do know that this technology has been used, and will be used, in the future. However, consider this. Just because blue beam exists does not necessarily mean that this technology is what was being used in this instance – especially this one. Machinery exists that can sound like thunder off in a distance, but that does not mean that a thunderstorm wasn’t real.

Furthermore, project blue beam is meant for the witnessing of an object through the eyes of the world’s populations, or certain segments thereof. The Whirlpool cross image was not seen by the public with the bare and naked eyes of the world. It was released to the public via a different method. This would defeat the whole method and purpose of blue beam technology. If it were blue beam technology, it seems to me that it would have appeared in the naked-eye site of a certain segment of Earth’s population, not through the Hubble Space telescope released through a magazine. Even further still, I’m inclined to believe that the blue beam technology narrative falls flat on its face with the observation of some very peculiar prophetic timing and numbering signs that accompanied this phenomenon. This fact would also seem to tell us that the image is not just some bizarre coincidence of nature that happens to resemble a cross.

It is here that I think we should probably take note of a few key prophetic peculiarities regarding the time at which this galactic cross was both discovered and released to the public. Notice first that its discovery occurred on June 2, 1992, which is 53 days before the opening ceremony of the 1992 Summer Olympics took place in the evening on Saturday, July 25, 1992. For those who have read a previous article on this site, let’s very briefly review a few of the major critical prophetic points as it enhances the understanding of the prophetic nature of this particular sign of the Whirlpool cross. To start, a peculiar segment of the opening ceremony of the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics appeared to be a very occultic and in-your-face demonstration of what the Satanic, Luciferian globalists had planned in the current so-called “Covid-19 Pandemic” and its objective of injecting the world with a dangerous DNA changing operating system that has been dubiously labeled “vaccines.” Due to evidence that has emerged, many are rightly declaring that these DNA altering operating systems are laying the biological framework to the Mark of the Beast system of Revelation 13.

In the aforementioned article, it was pointed out that the time span between the ceremony and the year 2021-2022 when the so-called “vaccines” were being foisted upon the world is a total of 30 years. The prophetic significance of the number 30 was made clear with an AC/DC song called “The Razor’s Edge” and its “raise the dead” reference in a subtle Balaamic hint of the rapture. The significance of a prophetic clue such as this appearing in this particular band was made clear by demonstrating the scientific Revelation that the Covid Pfizer “vaccine” shots apparently contain nano-technology with “AC/DC” currents functioning inside them. With that thought in mind, it was also demonstrated that the band AC/DC released a song called “Inject The Venom” in a year that also demonstrated a prophetically peculiar time span to 2021-2022. Thus, the aforementioned 30 years would be denoting the biblical relationship to Judas and his betrayal of Jesus for 30 pieces of silver as being a type of the future Antichrist after the rapture occurs. In fact, it was also demonstrated that one of the songs off of the album containing the song “Inject The Venom” also contains a song called “Night of the Long Knives” in which Judas’ name is mentioned. Suffice to say, we see an interesting Balaamically prophetic clue in these songs as it relates to their subtle subject matter, the timing of their release and time span from their release to the time of the release of the Covid operating systems called “vaccines” in the span of 30 years and 40 years with each song respectively. Interestingly, we will also see the same number play out regarding the occultic and evil Barcelona ceremony as it also relates to the year 2022 and the suggested fig tree rapture year just as the two songs did. With the discovery and release of the image of the Whirlpool cross having a biblical timing connection of 153 with this ceremony, by default, it too becomes prophetically significant in its 30-year time track – remembering that the “Raise the Dead” AC/DC track gives it its Balaamically prophetic significance pointing to the year 2022. I would encourage you to take a look at that article here to perhaps better enhance your understanding of the prophetic significance of this particular sign being discussed here.

Secondly, in addition to the galactic cross being discovered 53 days before the Barcelona Ceremony, we should also take note that it was discovered 1 month previous to the ceremony. In other words, just one month apart. Many of you may know where I am going with this. If you take the 1 month and the exact number of 53 days between the discovery of the galactic cross and the ceremony, you get the number 153. In John chapter 21, we see the story of Jesus appearing to the disciples after them having fished all night long and catching nothing. When Jesus shows up, he tells them to cast their net to the right side of the ship. When they did so, they caught so many fish that they were not able to draw the net in. Then the apostle Peter jumped into the sea and helped drag the net in along with the other disciples. A great multitude of fish was caught. At this point in Jesus’ ministry, he had already revealed that those whom he bid to follow him would be made “fishers of men.” Thus, we see the multitude of fishes that were caught representing the Church, or those who have received Jesus Christ as personal Savior. The total number of fish that were caught were 153, the numbers we see represented in the time span between the galactic cross discovery and the ceremony of 1992.

Interestingly, as E.W. Bullinger points out in his book “Numbers in Scripture,” that the word benei haElohim appears 7 times in the Old Testament in Hebrew. The word means “Sons of God.” Keeping in mind that the Hebrew letters each have a numeric value, when one adds up the letters in the name benei haElohim (sons of God), you end up with the number 153.

What should at the very least tickle your funny bone is that this speaks of the process of the Gospel message itself for scripture reveals that we (every born again believer who has ever personally received Christ) are the adopted “Sons/daughters of God” as the Apostle Paul himself reveals. Further, this is made all the more clear and stark when one realizes that Jesus came face to face with and blessed a total of 153 people in 48 separate incidents during his earthly ministry while on Earth. Here, we can see that this story is representing the harvest of souls into the kingdom of God at the end of the Church Age, or the end of the sixth dispensation that will culminate at the rapture event. This makes the number 153 intimately tied to the rapture event. The total of 48 separate incidents wherein he blessed those 153 people looks suspiciously like a representation of the year 1948 when Israel, the prophetic fig tree of Matthew 24, was reestablished. Thus, we seem to have (perhaps) a confirmation that 1948 should be the year that we all might want to pay attention to regarding the actual year we should be basing the start of the Psalm 90:10 fig tree generation upon when deciphering the return of Christ in the Second Coming event and the rapture.

When Jesus first showed up to the disciples that morning, notice he stood on the shore, or in other words, he stood before the sea of humanity representing the world and the harvest of souls from out of that world. Notice also all of the other elements of this story. He showed up on the morning of the third day, or in other words, the morning after the passage of 2 days representing 2,000 years since he walked the earth and was crucified. They also dragged the net of fish 2,000 cubits representing the passage of 2,000 years of the Church Age and its harvest of souls into the kingdom of God. We also have the element of the “fire of coals” waiting on Peter and the other disciples as they came ashore with those 153 fish – with the “fire of coals” seen in verse 9 (the number of judgment) and the “fire of coals” representing the fire of the Tribulation Period. Here, we can see the metaphor of the Church being saved from the judgment of that approaching seven-year Tribulation “fire.” This is yet more indirect evidence that points to the pre-tribulation rapture.

So then, we see the galactic cross being discovered 1 month prior to the Barcelona Ceremony, or precisely 53 days before – hence the number 153 representing the 153 fish, or souls. Here is where we get the punch line – knowing the Balaamically prophetic elements of a certain part of this ceremony and what it would portend in the emergence of the 2020-2022 “poison viper vaccine shots” and its evil intent by the Luciferian globalists who are foisting this evil upon humanity, was God taking a look down upon them and the world knowing what they were doing and thus announcing his presence to the world in the form of a galactic cross in the heavens? The timing of this galactic discovery and release to the public could not have been any more prophetically peculiar and telling given what we now know. Also consider for the sake of your funny bone that to have the individual numbers 1, 5 and 3 that make up the overall number of 153 show up like they do, and where they do, in scripture is quite interesting itself. The number 1 symbolizes and expresses who and what God really is in his declaration of the Trinity …

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord” (Deuteronomy 6:4).

This is the essential truth about God. He is a person and not a vague pantheistic force. Being one, He cannot be represented by contradictory images. Since the Lord is one, He is not Baal, or Ashtoreth – He is the LORD God, and they are not.

In the mind of many Jewish people, this verse alone disqualified the New Testament teaching that Jesus is God, and the New Testament teaching of the Trinity – that there is one God, existing in three Persons. At some times and places, as Jewish synagogues said the Shema together, and when the word one (echad) was said, they loudly and strongly repeated that one word for several minutes, as if it were a rebuke to Christians who believed in the Trinity.

Christians must come to a renewed understanding of the unity of God. They must appreciate the fact that the LORD is one, not three …

“But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.” (We worship one God, existing in three persons, not three separate gods” (1 Corinthians 8:6).

Yet, the statement the LORD is one certainly does not contradict the truth of the Trinity. In fact, it establishes that truth. The Hebrew word for one is echad, which speaks most literally of a compound unity, instead of using the Hebrew word yacheed, which speaks of an absolute unity or singularity (Genesis 22:2 and Psalm 25:16).

It is rather interesting that this number one would appear in the numbering time code between the appearance of the galactic cross and the Luciferian globalist’s evil ceremony of future intent at Barcelona. Still even more interesting that we all know these same Luciferian globalists, who are Satan’s earthly proxies, are known to be made up of those “very bad figs” (Jewish figs) of Jeremiah 25. It is rather telling that God would allow this galactic cross to appear a this numbering code considering that these same Jewish Luciferian globalists, which are the modern-day descendants of the Pharisees, are behind the evil we saw portrayed in that ceremony. In fact, one could be justified in saying that this sign was not only a direct message to the world at large, but also a special message to them and the demonic entities they associate with. Perhaps a message of warning, perhaps a message of invite and grace to offer his salvation to them (hearkening back to the aforementioned parable of the marriage feast), or perhaps both as we can see in the next number in the 153 code.

The number 5 in the 153 number denotes grace as the number 5 in scripture is the very number of grace:

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

Not only does the number 5 symbolizes God’s grace, it also symbolizes His goodness and favor toward humans and is mentioned 318 times in Scripture. With the number 5 being the number of grace, if you multiply the number by itself, you end up with 25, which is grace upon grace (John 1:16). There are five books in the Bible that contain only one chapter (2 John, 3 John, Philemon, Jude and Obadiah). Moses wrote 5 books, the most of any Old Testament writer.

The number 3 in the 153 number-timing code of these two events is the number for the Trinity – The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. It pictures completeness, though to a lesser degree than 7. He was placed on the cross at the 3rd hour of the day (9 a.m.) and died at the 9th hour (3 p.m.). There were 3 hours of darkness that covered the land while Jesus was suffering on the cross from the 6th hour to the 9th hour. Three is the number of resurrection. Christ was dead for three full days and three full nights, a total of 72 hours, before being resurrected on Saturday, April 8, just before sunset. It is very interesting that this number should be associated with the cross given that it should appear in the number timing code between this galactic discovery in the heavens and the ceremonial event ala the “bad figs.” There is an interesting narrative put forth by George of the “Return of the King” YouTube channel concerning the association between the 153 number and the signs in the heavens indicating the possible time of the rapture event in June of this year (2022). Interestingly, as already pointed out, the picture of the Whirlpool cross was published in the June 22nd edition of “TIME” magazine (see “Recommended Reading and Viewing” section at the end of this posting for George’s video). “TIME” magazine? Is this a clue confirming George’s speculation about a June 2022 rapture?

With the added peculiarity of this galactic cross image being published in “TIME” magazine, is God telling us that June will indeed be the “TIME” for the rapture? Also consider the other instances of this galactic cross’ association with the number 2 – it was the 2nd week of June when it was published in the year 1992. Only “time” will tell whether this year will be the year or not – but in your contemplation, consider the fact that the time coding of this galactic cross that seems to be pointing to this year falls in line with the timing warning of the blood moon tetrad/two cows famine/judgment sign that was discussed in the previous article as it too indicates something majorly prophetic this year in 2022.

Just think about the fact that the first time anyone has ever gotten a good, close look at a galactic center, it turns out to hold the sign that is of the greatest possible importance to humanity – released at a specific and peculiarly telling moment in time when the ceremonial expression of the final plan of evil was being orchestrated to be acted out in front of the world’s eyes via a ceremony that the world would be watching. In the Latin language, the word “crux” designates the cross. Planet Earth came to the crossroads at the foot of the cross. Divine action designated this simple geometric shape as the symbol for decision. By displaying this sign in the heavens to be observed by the wicked when he did, it was as if God was throwing down the gauntlet and, in an act of mercy, letting himself be made known to the world in the midst of their dark plan, and to admonish all to choose him and not the darkness of the evil one.

Our words “crucial,” “crucible,” and “excruciating” are all derived from the word “crux.” These words speak of the fiery forces that lie at the very heart and core of important events. They imply the pain and testing of weighty decisions made under stress and testing.

In the days of Jesus, the cross was reserved for criminals and those thought to be accursed by God. It depicted the suffering, shame and humiliation that Christ endured for the sake of a fallen humanity in need of redemption. The cross symbolizes that mission, voluntarily undertaken in submission to a God whose love reached out to those in need.

The cross is a sign that beams a message of truth into the soul of humanity almost devoid of that commodity. The meaning is as clear as it is convicting. If one has not had an encounter with the cross, one has never dealt with the Truth …

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

Many refuse to accept that truth, but we are told that one day a “sign” will appear over the earth, signaling that the Lord is coming to make manifest the work that was completed at the cross. Matthew chapter 24 mentions the return of the Lord at his Second Coming, preceded by the greatest sign in the history of the planet …

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” (Matthew 24:29-30).

Is it not interesting that we have a galactic heavenly sign of the cross appearing at this “crucial” 30-year countdown to a year looking very suspiciously “rapturesque?” It is a “crucial” point in history wherein it appeared, pointing forward to right now, to the present year, which has proven to be a “crucible” point in history. One can be justified in concluding that God is speaking to humanity in an unmistakable way.

The “Sign of the Son of Man” And “The Fig Tree” in the same chapter

Notice too that this narrative of the “sign of the Son of Man” that will appear in the heavens just before the Second Coming event at the end of the Tribulation Period (not the rapture) occurs in the very same chapter number that Jesus’ prophecy of the fig tree appears in – speaking of Israel and the timing sign it wields. Is it to tell us that the Second Coming will be somewhere around the year 2028/2029. It is that fig tree that will remain 80 years old until the month of May of 2028, giving us a sensible and reasonable timing for the rapture in 2022 when the Tribulation years are subtracted since the rapture occurs before the Tribulation starts. Or, if you are like some, the fig tree expiration date should be Spring of 2029 because of the fact that a nation isn’t a nation until it has a standing government. This was the case with the fig tree Israel when its knesset was formed on February 14, 1949. Taking into account that a nation or person is a certain age until the arrival of the next year would put the Second Coming event ahead another year, which then quite possibly puts the rapture event at March of 2023 (considering the difference in the Gregorian and Hebrew calendars).

Keeping in mind that the Psalms portray the occurrence of world events in the year according to the number of the Psalm as revealed in previous postings, it is interesting that Psalm 123 (representing the year 2023), displays a rather peculiar prophetic rapture hint as does Psalm 122 (representing 2022) and Psalm 124 (representing 2024 – the year of the second Great American Eclipse) also has a strong rapture theme. Both of these Psalms are also “Ascent” Psalms. To perhaps back either of these views, some say the 80-year fig tree outer limit generation should start at 1952, which is the year that Israel began keeping its Sabbath cycles. This would put the fig tree at 2032 if the outer limit of 80 years is kept instead of the minimum 70 years. Backing off seven years from the 2032 second coming fig tree model, you would arrive at 2025 for the rapture event. Interestingly, the year 2025 is the cited year that the rule of the age of man ends according to the very precise Essene calendar that many prophetic scholars such as Ken Johnson, Tom Horn and Josh Peck speak of. Interestingly, the “Sign of the Son of Man” event appears in verse 30 of Matthew 24 – the number 30 being the number of years between the discovery of the galactic cross and the year 2022 (shall we call it the “year of the viper bite?). Interestingly, we see Jesus’ narrative of the fig tree just two verses later in verse 32 – hearkening back to the aforementioned possibility that 2032 would be the outer limit of the fig tree generation if 1952 is a starting point year for the fig tree generation based on when modern Israel started keeping its Sabbaths as some contend. That fact is not to be dogmatic that there is some sort of prophetic connection with 32, but it is interesting nonetheless.

However, we should be looking hard at this year (2022) as the other years would seem to contend against Isaiah 66 which states the birth of a nation (Israel) in literally one day. This happened on May 14, 1948, not the birth of the Knesset in 1949 …

“Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children” (Isaiah 66:8).

Also, lets consider that the rapture “ascent” themes found in Psalm 123 (2023) and Psalm 124 (2024) do not have a key identifier clue that “ascent” psalm 122 (2022) possesses in its text – and that is the theme of the thrones of judgment that looks ahead to the rapture narrative we see in Revelation 4:1 and its throne theme once the Apostle John arrives in Heaven after having been “caught up” to God’s throne. Further still, those other two rapture “ascent” psalms that are missing the throne theme of Psalm 122 may more be a clue pertaining to those left behind after the rapture who get saved after that event during the Tribulation.

The Cross: In Black And White

Surely the galactic cross sign mentioned here must be a reflection of that horrible instrument so essential in the final work of Christ. It will hang suspended between Earth and Heaven, a harbinger of the justice that is about to fall upon the world. Every living human being who sees it will instantly be reminded of the finished work of Christ. Guilt and conviction, like flames, will sear the heart and soul of every human being who ever rejected the cross as just another myth.

A curious cross has now been dimly perceived in the heavens in a most dramatic and grand fashion at a peculiarly prophetic time … here and now … at the very end of the age of Grace. The end of the sixth dispensation. It is also most curious that it should be discovered and released to the world by the one nation who, as previously mentioned, holds the lease to the vineyard. The one nation whose assignment it is to produce the fruits of the kingdom of God as spoken by Jesus himself. Producing the fruits of the kingdom continues to be this nation’s assignment. By the grace and Providential act of God, America has done the very thing that God brought it into existence to do.

Lest there be any doubt of this fact, let us consider an additional and very prophetically significant fact that the Whirlpool galaxy, the galaxy in which the cross itself resides inside of, was itself discovered on October 13, 1773. This proves to be very prophetically significant since just months before on May 10 in that very same year, the “Boston Tea Act” was enacted, which was around the time that America was gaining its independence and becoming a sovereign and free nation. The Tea Act was the catalyst that would lead to the American Revolutionary War against the British Empire just two years later.

It is rather interesting to say the least that the discovery of a galaxy with a then-hidden cross at its center would be discovered when America would begin its course of purpose on the world stage and dramatically shape the world at the end of the 6th dispensation – the dispensation of the Church Age. In short, we have the very symbol of Christ’s crucifixion- the cross – prophetically associated with America’s destiny as the vineyard as displayed in the heavens inside the Whirlpool galaxy. This was surely no coincidence. America has been the nation that has been proclaiming the Gospel message of the cross and the coming again of Christ back to Earth since its inception, especially in more recent years. It was God’s intention for America to enjoy the freedoms, liberty, unparalleled wealth and global influence that it has enjoyed and been Providentially blessed with in order to do this very thing. It is the nation to close out the sixth dispensation of the Church Age before the rapture occurs and judgment sets in – giving way to the millennial reign of Christ on Earth – the ushering in of the seventh dispensation.

It is also no accident that this nation, this vineyard, upon crossing the prophetically significant 400-year cycle in 2020 saw the world suddenly take a dark turn toward global tyranny and the beginning stages of the implementation of the New World Order through the false flag of a pandemic narrative in order to get humanity injected with a DNA altering control system – the outcome of which we’ve only begun to discover in its effects on the biological transformation of man. The U.S.A.’s crossing of this all-important 400-year time marker in 2020 has triggered the world into end times overdrive – and it was all by God’s perfect design and timing structure. This 400-year time marker points us back to God bringing the ancient Israelites out of the bondage of ancient Egypt after 400 years of being enslaved (see article here).

What this galactic cross is, no one really knows. But like the cross of Christianity, it shines forth for those who will see it – who will still be brought to the point of decision about their eternal destiny. It shines dimly, sending forth a final message of hope – and warning.

Interestingly, the word crucible from the crucifix means “a severe searching, test, or an extremely challenging experience. This speaks of what the Tribulation Period will be for those left behind after the rapture occurs. The galactic crucible expression displayed in the heavens was, dare we say, also a timing warning that its arrival is just about here. Lest there be any doubt that this peculiar galactic sign was also a prophetic timing sign, we should keep in mind that the publication in which the galactic picture was revealed is itself called “TIME.” God indeed has a sense of irony.

Consider a statement that was made by the Hubble Space telescope website that is quite telling of the uniqueness of this phenomenon …

“Surprisingly, they found that the ring is standing almost perpendicularly to the relatively flat spiral galaxy, like a top spinning on its side with respect to the floor. Even more surprising is the discovery of a secondary ring or dust lane which is contrary to all expectations.”

“The galaxy is spectacular because it is tilted nearly face-on to Earth, allowing for an unobstructed view of its the bright core. M51 is especially noteworthy because its well-defined spiral arms are unusually bright, and the end of one of the spiral arms projects across a small, dusty and distorted satellite galaxy“

“The second bar of the “X” is both interesting and puzzling. The dust in this linear feature could be a second disk seen edge on, or possibly rotating gas and dust in M5l interacting with the jets and ionization cones. “The safest interpretation is that the slash is a caution sign, showing that we do not yet fully understand what is happening in the center of M51,” says Ford.

Notice they are using the words “spectacular,” “unusually,” and “interesting and puzzling.” The implication here is that this is not normal behavior or characteristics for things/discoveries/galaxies/anomalies of normal observation. In other words, this particular cross-like shape and galaxy is not typical. It is very unusual from what is the norm. Think about it in these terms – the one galaxy that they discover to have unusual behavioral properties from what would be the norm of all others of this nature just happens to have a cross within it. If I may translate to common sense: “God made this particular one unique and tilted it toward Earth and made its functioning unusual so that the whole entire world could witness it and get the message that there is a God and his name is Jesus Christ. And without coming to his cross, humanity as a whole and his/her destiny individually is not a pleasant one.” You’re welcome NASA and Hubble folks. I won’t charge for that. That was a freebie.

In closing, consider another peculiar aspect to the Whirlpool name. Here, it would be prudent to repeat the truism that God is sovereign over all of creation and can (and does) speak through anything or situation that he chooses. We see this demonstrated in the Bible many times – one of which is documented in Numbers chapter 22 – itself an interesting clue perhaps – when the Lord spoke to Balaam through his donkey (see here). We would rightly call these “Balaamic prophecies,” or “Balaamic prophetic signs.” A more recent example of this would be when actor William Shatner lifted off into outer space. The numbers and clues surrounding that event are quite prophetically curious indeed (see here). I would also recommend an article by Gary at the Unsealed website here for another good example. That said, we are all aware of the very famous and highly successful American company named “Whirlpool.” It is a company that manufactures and markets home appliances and is a now a global company and has been for many years. We’ve all probably seen their commercials on television at some point or another. Its logo features a representation of the Whirlpool galaxy itself above the name.

The company was founded on November 11 (11/11), 1911 in Benton Harbor, Michigan. In Bible numerology, the number eleven is important in that it can symbolize disorder, chaos and judgment. In biblical text, the number 11 is used twenty-four times and “11th” can be found 19 times (1911). Coming after 10 (which represents law and responsibility), the number eleven (11) represents the opposite, which is the irresponsibility of breaking the Law, which brings disorder and judgment. In Genesis 11, men rebelled against God and built the tower of Babel. He judged them by confusing their language, resulting in chaos. Ominously, in September of this year (2022), the fulfillment of the prophecy of the fig tree seen in the reestablishment of the nation of Israel since its Roman dispersal in 70 A.D. will reach its “11th” Schmitta cycle since its 1948 reestablishment.

So breaking it down, we have the 153 rapture number and the 11 judgment number intimately tied to this Whirlpool cross sign. In fact, it seems to present us with yet another confirmation of a pre-tribulation rapture (153 rapture then 11 judgment). With these particular prophetic timing codes hidden in this incredible galactic sign, we seem to be able to observe yet another prophetically peculiar aspect of the Whirlpool cross pointing us to man’s fast approaching appointed date with destiny.

So, will it be this year (2022) that the bride of Christ and the world meets its destiny as these prophetic timing clues seem to indicate? Remembering that the 1992/30 years timing aspect is a prophetic feature of this sign, 2022 is on fire with suspicion. Or, in reality, are these prophetic clues indicating the year 2022 as a prophetic pivot point guiding us to the actual year in the very near future? Whichever the case may be as far as the particular year that the Church and the lost world at large meets their respective destinies, we cannot get around the overwhelming obviousness that this sign, along with others, are a stark statement that there is only but a little time left – very little. And that is the crux of the matter.

THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS AND THE RESURRECTION: YOUR ONLY WAY INTO HEAVEN – GOD’S REQUIREMENT FOR YOUR INCLUSION IN THE RAPTURE AND ESCAPE FROM THE COMING WRATH

Through this galactic display, God is not only sending a warning, but he is asking the world the same question that he asked in Mark 8:36 …

“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels” (Mark 8:35-38).

When Jesus asks a question, he is not looking for information. He already knows. He was God in human form who is now ascended back into Heaven. When God/Jesus asked Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden “Where Are You” after they had fallen, he was not looking for information. He knew exactly where they were. He is asking the question for the illumination of the human mind and soul. In like manner, he is asking you too. When you stand before him on Judgment Day, he is not going to ask you how much money you made, nor is he going to ask you about your social standing, nor is he going to ask you about your professional accomplishments. Instead, what is going to matter to him is what you did with Jesus while on Earth – the one who offered you eternal life through his death on the cross – the same cross that burns in the galactic heavens in the center of the Whirlpool galaxy. Spoiler Alert: no one automatically goes to Heaven. You will only get there through personally believing on and receiving Jesus Christ as your personal Savior.

Your soul is the only thing that you have that is of any value that will matter in the end. Indeed, what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? These are questions that will eventually be answered by every living man and woman alive on Planet Earth. Some may put off the question now, but it won’t be put off forever. There is coming a day when a Divine reckoning will be set forth for every living soul.

Figuratively speaking, God stacks the treasures of Earth on one scale and on the other side, he places one human soul and says that the man who would trade his soul for the wealth of the world has been a fool …

“And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God” (Luke 12:16-21).

Jesus’ statement is not one that is against anyone having wealth, but rather, it is a statement that wealth and all that one possesses in this life will not be there for you when it comes time to give an accounting for your soul if you are one who outright rejects Jesus Christ and his offer of salvation through him. It seems to be a mark of human nature that those who possess wealth, good to excellent social standing and whatever other amenities of life that are available clouds people’s sense of needing anything. As we can see in Jesus’ parable above in Luke 12, the wealthy man was pre-occupied with his wealth and good standing in life so much so that he felt he needed nothing – not even God. In their mind, they are as good as they need to be without even considering the concept that they need redemption because they are in a state of hopeless spiritual death inherited from the first man Adam which will bar them from entering eternal rest. This parable reflects Jesus’ statement in condemnation of the lukewarm, unsaved Laodicean Church in Revelation chapter 3 …

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches” (Revelation 3:14-22).

The bottom line is that all, whether rich or poor, indifferent or rebellious, hard-hearted or a do-gooder, criminal or an earthly angel with a halo over their head, are condemned in the afterlife without the blood of Jesus Christ over the doorpost of their soul. In ancient Egypt, God instructed the Hebrews to place lamb’s blood over the doorpost of their homes so that when God sent the death angel through the nation, the angel would pass over the homes of the believing Hebrews, leaving them untouched. Why lamb’s blood? Because the lamb’s blood symbolizes the blood of Jesus Christ that would be shed upon the cross at his first coming. Jesus in scripture is called “the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). It is interesting that the letter tahv, the 22nd letter of the Hebrew alphabet, is shaped like a doorpost.

Interestingly, it is also the letter that symbolizes Divine and perfect protection. Even more interesting, this letter is said to symbolizes man’s final destination. The tahv symbolizes the Hebrew word, emet, “truth.”  In Hebrew, this word is said to be an acrostic that stands for “God is the Eternal King, in the infinite past, present and future.” This letter, which is the 22nd letter of the Hebrew alphabet, represents and verifies this reading/meaning in Revelation 22, verse 6 …

“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done” (Revelation 22:6).

Also, truth is epitomized in Jesus, who said …

“I am the way, the truth, and the life … ” (John 14:6).

He is also not a cosmic rapist who will force you to be with him. He wants you to personally choose him through your own free will.

God knows the wealth of the Earth and he knows what’s coming for each and every individual soul, saved or not, after death or when he returns. According to scripture, 70 years or however long one lives is as a vapor. It appears for a moment, and then vanishes away …

“Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away” (James 4:13-14).

70 years is like the puff of a steam kettle compared to the destiny of each and every human soul who steps into eternity. The value of one human soul compelled Jesus to leave the splendor of Heaven and come down to Earth only to stagger through the streets of Jerusalem while being whipped and beaten to a bloody pulp before finally letting the created drive large spikes through the hands of the Creator and horrifically crucified and nailed to a wooden cross in order to satisfy God’s demand for payment of the sin-debt incurred and inherited from the first man Adam – a sin debt passed on to every human being ever born thereafter that no living person can ever hope to pay except through personally receiving Christ through belief and trust in him.

Jesus Christ did not come to Earth to start 185 squabbling denominations, fighting and feuding like professional UFC fighters during weigh-ins before they beat the hell out of each other on fight night. He invites all to come to him not through a denomination or through man-made rituals, but through simple faith i.e. belief. However, if you die without having ever personally received him and remain in unbelief, your next phase of existence will not be a pleasant one. There is really no other way to say it and still be truthful.

The demonstrably divinely inspired text that we call the Bible promises a coming horrendous seven-year Tribulation period of judgment upon Earth for all of mankind, no matter what your religion, belief or creed happens to be, and even to those who don’t believe anything spiritual at all.  We can now clearly see the signs of this approaching nightmare.  However, as we’ve already seen, this same divinely inspired text that we call the Bible promises a dramatic escape from off the face of the earth before this horrendous time of judgment only to a certain category of people.  

Put simply, an event is coming that will be so stupendous that it strains the mind to contemplate such an event happening.  It is an event that will see millions upon millions of people across the globe suddenly disappear without warning.  The millions of disappeared will have literally ascended into Heaven itself after instantaneously receiving a new glorified body fit for Heaven.  A body that will be able to withstand the atmosphere and glory of Heaven.  This event is known as the “Rapture.”  But the promise of escape is only to those who are “born again” in Christ.  This is why it is crucial to understand what Christ meant when he declared in no uncertain terms that only those who are “born again” in him will enter the Kingdom of God.  For the explanation of this, keep reading below.

In order to accept the offer of God’s grace and his salvation, you must take the crucial three steps of …

1. Agreeing – A belief and agreeing with God in all that he says in his word, the Bible, about the fact that you are separated from God, as every man and woman on the face of the earth are before accepting his salvation.  The Bible reveals that all are separated from him in a spiritual state of death, or said another way that the Bible reveals it, in a state of sin, that will result in damnation in the afterlife.  Agreeing with God in your heart that you are in need of his salvation.  The Bible reveals that God looks upon the heart of a man or woman, and thus, responds accordingly to the person who comes to him for salvation in recognition of his inability to save himself.  The Bible makes these facts very clear – “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).  “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).  The Bible describes these three kinds of death:  

• physical death (the state experienced when life leaves our bodies).
• spiritual death (spiritual separation from God caused by our state of spiritual death inherited from the first man Adam – the state of sin that results in our daily outward acts of sin, whether deliberate or not, whether omissive or not; and finally …
• the second death (the fixed state entered into by the individual who dies physically while he or she is dead spiritually). This state is entered into after the death of the body which results in punishment in the afterlife until the event of the Great White Throne Judgment occurs wherein the damned are resurrected from Hades, or Hell, and are judged according to their works and finally destroyed and cease to exist after being cast into the Lake of Fire. Revelation 14 refers to this tragic end of the unsaved as the “Second Death” (verse 14). It is this state of suffering entered into after physical death and then final destruction at the Great White Throne Judgment in particular which is the horrible result of receiving the wages of sin (unforgiven due to unbelief and rejection of Christ). The Lord Jesus Christ frequently described such a death as being irrevocable in a destiny which he called Hell.  He described Hell as a literal place of judgment (Matthew 13:42); a place of everlasting fire (Matthew 18:8); a place of torment (Luke 16:24,28); a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 13:50); a place of remorse (Mark 9:44-48); of bitter memory (Luke 16:25), and a place originally prepared for the Devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41).  In fact, Jesus more often warned about Hell than he spoke about Heaven.

It is not God’s will or desire that any person should be consigned to perish in Hell (2 Peter 3:9), but rather that all should come to repentance of unbelief toward him and believe on him for the salvation of the individual’s soul.  But God’s justice requires that the “soul who sins” (remains in it’s state of death or state of sin) is the one who will die a second time after a long period of torment (Ezekiel 18:4).  So, agree with God, admitting that you are unable to save yourself and in a state of sin under God’s just condemnation for that sin and that you are in need of his salvation.

2. Believing – Then, believe that God does not want you to suffer this fate because of your sin.  Believe that God loves you so much that he provided a way whereby he could still be a just, holy and righteous God, and yet pardon you.  Believe that God did not just overlook sin, but that he sent his only begotten son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to provide salvation by personally paying the penalty for sin.  Believe that Jesus Christ, whose life, death, burial and resurrection is the best-attested fact of antiquity, did come to earth to live, die, rise again and ascend to Heaven in order to provide justification and salvation for all who trust him.  Believe that he, and he alone, can save you because he has fully satisfied the just demands of God.  Believe that you can’t become righteous in God’s sight by your own effort.  Believe that he wants to save you and that he will save you.  The Bible provides a solid basis for such belief …

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16-17). 

“But God demonstrates his love toward us in this:  while we were yet sinners,  Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). 

God presented him (Jesus Christ) as a sacrifice of atonement through faith in his blood.  He did this to demonstrate his justice because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished – he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies the man or woman who has faith in Jesus (Romans 3:25-26). 

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;  And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures … ” (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). 

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). 

“Jesus answered, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).  “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out [drive away]” (John 6:37).

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20).

3. Calling – It is not enough to agree with God, admit your need, and believe that Christ can and will save you.  You must act upon those facts. God’s requirement is that you repent of your unbelief toward him and actively call upon him for the salvation of your soul based on the fact that you cannot save yourself. It is unbelief in particular that damns the soul to its horrible fate …

“He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:18).

“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:36).

“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:15).

You must be willing to completely turn from your own efforts to save yourself or from any other hope.  You must come to Christ, calling upon him for salvation and counting on the fact that he will do what he has promised.  This means simply taking the gift of pardon and eternal life which he offers.  Merely believing about Jesus Christ without coming to him makes as much sense and is as effective as believing that a medication can successfully treat a fatal disease, but failing to take it.  Yet again, the Bible emphatically and authoritatively provides the basis for such statements.

The word translated “believe” here means to “rest one’s entire weight and trust on the object or person in which the belief is placed.”  It requires action in keeping with the intellectual assent of that belief.

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).

” … but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

The logical question you may be asking at this point is:  “how do I come to Christ and call upon him?”  The answer is that “calling upon the Lord” is just another term for praying, or talking to God.  To talk to God is not a complicated process, dependent upon some special rituals.  God has invited people to approach him through his Son in simple, straightforward terms.  In fact, Jesus approved of the dishonest, despised tax collector who simply prayed, “God be merciful to me, a sinner.”  While the exact words of your prayer to God are not of vital importance (since God sees and knows the attitude of your heart), the following is the kind of prayer that you could pray in calling upon God for salvation …

“Dear Lord Jesus:  I realize that I need you.  I admit that I have sinned and that I deserve your just, eternal punishment for that sin.  But I am sorry for my sin and I am turning to you and asking for forgiveness.  I believe that you died and rose again to pay sin’s penalty on my behalf.  I come to you and open my heart to you.  I ask you to come into my life, forgive me for all of my sin and make me your child.  I invite you to take control of my life and to cause me to be the kind of person you would have me to be.  I thank you for doing this because you have promised that whosoever calls upon you, as I am doing now, shall be saved.  I pray this in the name of your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen.”

If this prayer expresses the desire of your heart, I urge you to sincerely and genuinely express it to God as your prayer.  The Bible makes clear that when we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in our heart, God forgives our sins and counts us righteous, and that when we openly confess with our mouth what we have done in our heart,  God gives us assurance of that salvation (Romans 10:9-10).

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:3-7).
