Have you been finding the examples we've presented so far to be compelling witnesses to the strange reality of a pending reset of time? Those we're about to present involve Job, the profound book, and other scriptural references to him and his story.
The book of Job is believed to be the oldest book in the canon of the holy scriptures. It's the account of a man who is renowned for his patient endurance during a great season of trial, and a dramatic witness to the Lord's character.
Job was a blessed man before he was severely tested and his patient endurance was manifest. He lost almost everything, but at the conclusion of the trial he received a substantial increase.
The dynamic of the story is important so here's the intro from chapter 1. Pay attention to the details because we're going to see the image of Job-life 1.0 reappear in Job-life 2.0 as a show of persisting certain elements from shemitah 860. (What we do in this present season matters!)
As the passage continues, we may perceive the keystone pattern in the series of tragedies.
14 a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them, 15 and the Sabeans attacked and took them. They also slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
16 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
17 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three bands and made a raid on the camels and took them and slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
18 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
19 and behold, a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people and they died, and I alone have escaped to tell you.” ~ Job 1:13-19
We find three things of a kind wrapped neatly within the bracketing mentions of Job's children eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house. In these tragic events, Job loses both animals and servants. Finally, outside the aforementioned wrapper, a 4th tragedy happens. Like the first three, a single servant remains to bear the news, but there are significant differences. All Job's children are killed, but no servants were reported killed or animals lost. Is this not the keystone pattern and a prophecy that serves today as a witness to us? Is this not what brought Job life 1.0 to something of a bitter end? But, of course, that's not the end of the story! Fortunes must be lost before they can be restored double!
Here's how the story ends.
Job died, an old man and full of days. Full of days. That's a figure of speech, obviously, but we note that this language supports the level of interpretation where Job is a prophetic symbol of seasons of time. Because we're primarily interested in the 7-fold sets known as shemitah, we note that, while these numberings don't seem to play in any significant allegorical way, they seem worth noting. There are 7 former and 7 latter sons, and 7*1000 then 7*2000 sheep. Job lived 7*20 years after his trials of adversity ended. We note that the Hebrew word for "female donkeys" in Job 42:12 and Job 1:3 is the numerically significant Hebrew word H860, which we gave attention to in previous installments in this series as linked to the numbering of shemitah.
So, in addition to the witness of the keystone pattern in the series of tragedies, Job's life reboot features another witness in the series of those who lectured Job about his situation.
Job's wife was the first to address him.
Her brief counsel was far from a lecture. Job was first lectured at length by a collection of three men who are called by some, the miserable comforters.
Their condemnation of Job and contentious dialog with him continued through to the end of the 31st chapter.
Elihu uses the same kind of figurative language in verse 7 that we noted earlier, "I thought age should speak." Recall from Job 42:17 above that, Job died, an old man and full of days. Job was not literally full of days, and age does not literally speak. Figures of speech are used for emphasis. Elihu says he is young and the attention he gives the matter of age spans several verses and his entire preface.
So, Elihu came forward according to the keystone pattern as the 4th in series, who was like unto the preceding 3 but yet distinctly different. But he's not yet the last to lecture Job! His dialog continued through to the end of chapter 37 where God himself shows up, who had made the deal with Satan that began Job's trial.
So, in the sequence of those who lecture Job we find the extended keystone pattern where it's the 5th that brings the result. The name, Elihu, means, my God is He, or, He is my God. Elihu, as the 4th in series, seemed to prepare the way for the Almighty Lord to step in and bring closure to the ordeal, representing His work in shemitah 861. Note the time language: from verse 1: Then... verse 3: Now... verse 4: when...
With a recognition of these two witnesses to the keystone and extended keystone patterns in the doubling of Job's difficult but blessed life, let's continue on to consider how two passages referencing Job in the New Testament lend further support with their own special testimonies. We'll start with one where Job is not actually named.
Where else in the biblical record has Satan demanded permission to do that to someone? Right. We can infer that permission was granted and that Peter, like Job, was severely tested. We can also infer that Peter patiently endured and was blessed accordingly. But this isn't just about the disciple and his history because Peter is modeling prophecy! We see in the Lord's announcement about Peter's sifting the very same prophetic message of Job -resonating with that profound witness to the doubled shemitah 860 and 861!
Without understanding about the doubled shemitah, how can one make sense of the turning again of Peter, after which he strengthens his brothers? As with the resources of the 2-fold blessed Job-life 2.0 this account cryptically draws upon, those of whom Peter is a prophetic type will be able to fulfill the mission and strengthen "his brothers." With the Lord himself praying for Peter, I am assured that the faith of those represented will not fail, and that they will survive the trial of sifting and emerge as qualified for every challenge of the work of that season! The Lord isn't stuttering when he addresses Peter. "Simon, Simon," He said, using that name that is the same as, Simeon, in the Hebrew. It is doubled. It means, hearing. I've written about this doubled naming before, and in this context I see it further in connection with the doubled life and blessing of Job and the doubled shemitah. Faith has to do with hearing, and what I call the hear-do cycle is pertinent. Look it up, as the Lord may lead.
While that may already be resonating with you, this gets even more compelling when the verses around it are considered.
As you should know, it's through the declaration of verse 34 (from the version in John 13:38) that I received the insight into the keystone pattern in 2008, on the 13th day of the 1st month - on a heptadic node of the sign for the Bride! Verses 28-30 evoke the endurance and reward that are so much the stuff of Job's testimony, right? Verse 33 calls attention to the commitment of one who is willing to sacrifice all for the sake of a friend. Peter was willing, as he proved by wielding the sword at the scene of the Lord's arrest in Gethsemane, but it was not the appointed time. I've written about the final exam, martyrdom, and the role of the Bride when her critical season of testimony arrives. In shemitah 861, that season will arrive, and in preparation for that there must be a strengthening by whomsoever is modeled by Peter in his unfailing faith - when once "he" has turned again!
Finally, the other supporting reference is found in the 5th chapter of James, where Job is famously commended and offered as an example of patient endurance in a witness to the Lord's character.
It wasn't until I was inspired to explore the architectural structure that I really grasped how profound this passage is. It conceals and reveals the secret embedded in the book of Job, the mystery of the doubled shemitah!

In closing, I am inspired to repeat some concluding paragraphs from the 3rd part in this series, for perspective.
...I was watching a video and the scientist made the following observation. "You can't prove scientific things in a laboratory the same way you prove mathematic theorems. You prove things in a laboratory by piling up so much evidence that its simply unreasonable to deny it." The panel seen on screen had it expressed this way. "Proof is evidence that is so strong that it would be statistically unreasonable to deny it." This speaks to both Aaron and myself in comparison to how it is with the evidence we present. The evidence piles up to make certain points that are increasingly compelling. There comes a tipping point, where we become convinced, where we believe the testimony of the collection of independent witnesses. We are becoming convinced, as the Lord continues to bring forth more witnesses of the kind that have spoken so loudly to us over many years. The redundancy of the patterns, the consistency of the symbolism, the nature and timing of the signs attending the expanding insight - these are hard to deny.
Having a precise knowledge of the time as this age comes to the most significant points of transition has been the key to our knowing that this timeline has been skewed off the prophetic schedule. The matter of knowing it again after the reset of time will be essential when the sign for the Bride manifests in the context of the great hoax. Likewise, our having confidence in knowing the schedule of the reset appears to have value, so we intend to continue passing what we receive on to you, as the Lord provides.
Aaron and I thank you for your support, the funding of our efforts, the comments and insight and words of encouragement, and your prayers, on which we depend! We are so blessed to serve with you in this season!
