The 11th chapter of Revelation is among the chapters of interest as Aaron and I preparations for the anticipated grant of further insight into the Lord's schedule. I've just published an interactive version on The Open Scroll. Among the benefits of the effort invested in this project is the discovery of a notable feature, that every one of this chapter's references to the time units of interest are made in one concise collection. I made this screenshot to capture them in a highlighted state, where the round-up includes “forty-two months,” “twelve hundred and sixty days,” and “three and a half days,” twice.
Updated June 19 to present this chapter in the larger context:
Thematic Symmetry of Revelation Chapters 4 through 11 - Interactive
I've been continuing to develop the software tool I'm using to build the presentations, which is also hugely beneficial when it comes to doing the analysis. I'm just about satisfied with the maturity of the tool. I'm more able to concentrate on the analysis with less attention having to be given to technical demands. What's produced doesn't look any different, but they are produced much more efficiently. A 24 inch monitor was recently purchased that can tilt, so with an aspect ration taller than it is wide, combined with much more screen real estate, the working environment is much improved. I'm encouraged to know that some of you really appreciate the effort, gleaning insight from such a penetrating and convenient view of the context.

The Vision of the Throne Vehicle of the Most High God, according to Ezekiel 1
The first chapter of the book of Ezekiel has just been added to the collection of interactive presentations on The Open Scroll. The symmetry of the themes presents us with some very peculiar matches. Deep stuff. Ezekiel 1 - Interactive

The Exploitation of Time in “Dig” (USA Network)
The recent TV show on the USA Network titled, Dig, flirted with some of the key themes of this season. According to Wikipedia, the description of the premise of the show reads: “The story focuses on an FBI agent who is based in Jerusalem and discovers a plot that dates back 2000 years while investigating a murder. The focus is on the prophetic return of the Jewish temple.”
Early on, the agent named Peter is led to a dig site under the Temple Mount. The young woman who led him there had access because she was working on the secret archeological excavation. There was a pool of water there, and they went skinny dipping in the water in a romantically charged scene that had incestuous overtones. What was really important was the esoteric symbolism, which was leveraged heavily in the final episodes.
The series wasn't picked up for a second season, so whatever purpose it was appointed to is finished. If you watch the last 2 episodes, “Jehoshaphat” and “Armageddon Protocol,” you'll hear repeated references to following the water as a key to discovering the plot. Take that advice, with a deeper understanding that is a metaphor for time. The Temple has been identified as the Temple at the Center of Time. Water is a metaphor for time. The water under the Temple is central to the flow or continuity of time and life itself.
If you watched the show you would have seen how much attention was given to the preparation for a ceremonial red heifer sacrifice that was intended to usher in the coming of the Messiah. The people involved with that scheme were selfish and corrupt. In conjunction with the ceremony, they planned to clear the Temple Mount of the Dome of the Rock. That would have had such repercussions that they anticipated global war as an immediate response, and subsequent extinction, which would surely demand the Savior's intervention.
Peter, played by Jason Isaacs, was an FBI agent but he would have been a Christian minister if he had not left the seminary just prior to completing the requirements for graduation. In some of the episodes it was made very obvious that he had been chosen very specifically for some vital mission, but what that mission was exactly was never explained until we see it unfold at the conclusion of the show. The very mysterious mission was one that would save the world from destruction. It had to do with narrowly averting a disaster that involved the flooding of the Temple Mount by means of blowing up a dam. The esoteric interpretation has to do with time, of course.
Taking stock of all that, and the personal identification the agent named Peter makes with the Apostle Peter of 1 Peter 5:6-9 (a scripture that he receives at a critical juncture from an admitted play of “Bible Roulette”), Aaron and I find the personal relevance very intriguing, given the apostolic/prophetic anointings and ministry and our anticipation of the Mt. 24:22 time mission. As to Dig's implication, with the central plot element being the forcing of the coming of the Jewish Messiah to save the world from destruction, that time mission verse 22 of Matthew 24 is undeniably in view.
The official blurb describing the final episode (Armageddon Protocol) reads: “With the fate of humanity at stake, Peter races to stop the Order of Moriah's plan to destroy the Temple Mount and bring about the End of Days.”
Recall the context of Matthew 24.
The Mount of Olives overlooks the Temple on Mount Moriah. The subject of the destruction of the Temple begins the chapter.
Dig's plot and script dances all over this 24th chapter of Matthew, and the matter of exploiting time itself is worth noting because it really is another sign of the season that illustrates to those of us who are watching according to the Lord's commands something about the Enemy's plans. There's plenty of obfuscation, but the key elements are present. The Adversary intends to bring forth a flood of time by blowing up a dam, in a figure, breaching a reservior of time. The resulting flood will trigger an event at the Temple at the center of time. Global destruction. Messianic intervention. Think about the appearance of false christs and false prophets, or The False Christ and False Prophet, the 2 beasts of Revelation 13.
In episodes of Dig, the ancient aquifers that supplied water under the city of David and even the Temple were being used as secret passages by the sect of the Essenes. They substantially supported Peter's mission as foils to the Order of Moriah.
These aquifers were claimed to be known to the builders of the Beit Zayit Dam above Jerusalem and were incorporated into the plan to protect the city in the event of a dam failure. The Armageddon Protocol was put in place to allow for the water flowing through those aquifers to be diverted safely underground, which involved the opening of two iron gates inside the system.
Peter's special mission involved ensuring that, when the dam would be blown up, the Armageddon Protocol would be invoked and that the redirected water would actually flow as intended. He couldn't stop the dam from being blown up, but he averted the intended global destruction of the End of Days scenario by seeing to it that the ensuing flood did not harm the Dome of the Rock.
Consider these verses from Revelation 12.
Blowing up the dam was like the serpent pouring water out of his mouth. Invoking Dig's Armageddon Protocol was like opening the earth's mouth to drink up the flooding river.
In the scene of the climax, we see dirty water pouring through the drainage system. In a figure, the producers of the show present us with the Adversary's plot as muddy water, obfuscated.
The dam was blown up with a timer. Water-as-time, released through a mechanism that counted down to the appointed time. The timer had a complex system that prevented being it from being disabled, stopped. The C-4 explosives used had been smuggled inside copies of the Christian Pastor's book, who was involved with the restoration of Temple Mount services. The destructive force of the Word. The book's title: “Immortality Through Christ.” Copies of the book emptied of their bricks of C-4 were strewn about the dam, right where it was breached.
So here's some of what they present. Blowing up the dam to release the water-as-time and flood the temple at the center of time, with explosives smuggled in a Christian Pastor's book titled, Immortality, and set with a complex timer to go off at the appointed time. The end game was ultimately foiled by an American agent operating illegally on a mission that was unknown to him, helped primarily by a gay local cop, an ancient and secretive order of Essenes and his liason at the American Embassy.
The significance of the blood red moons is brought up, and there's an abundance of pretty blatant XO MOB symbolism, and while nothing about this show has really advanced our understanding of the plot, it certainly repeats and validates key elements.
In closing, here's a collection of links to recent posts on the Water-as-Time metaphor.

21 For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. 22 Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe him. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. ~ Matthew 24:21-24
The official blurb describing the final episode (Armageddon Protocol) reads: “With the fate of humanity at stake, Peter races to stop the Order of Moriah's plan to destroy the Temple Mount and bring about the End of Days.”
Recall the context of Matthew 24.
24 Jesus came out from the temple and was going away when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him. 2 And He said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.” 3 As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” ~ Matthew 24:1-3

Rainbow Casting and Other Signs of the Masked Model
For those of us who can accept that we're living in a season that is actually going to be repeated, questions are raised that are of the utmost importance. Will we remember anything? Will anything we do now count for anything? Yes, what we do will be accounted, and some will “remember the future,” or at least will be given an awareness of what things are needful. Some of what we have come to understand already has been intuited or spiritually discerned, and confirmed. We don't have all the answers, or any confidence that we even know what questions really need to be asked, but the Lord continues to lead and encourage us and advance us along the familiar two-track path. Character is the primary issue, and alongside that is the knowledge of the times and seasons.
While this post is not for the reporting of breakthrough revelation insight there is a need to keep reporting, to keep serving food at the proper time. (Have you visited the MOB blog lately?) We testified about how the model of this “Take 2” redo was being elaborately masked, and here's some more related stuff we've logged along the way.
For background, here's two relevant links:
April 12 - Still watching on the 23rd day?
April 18 - Watching Still, We Consider the Model, Masked
The Drudge Report headline of April 29. History Repeating.
On the day the sign for the Bride was looked for (Thursday April 2, the 13th day of the 1st month), what was seen was US President Obama making a deal after eight days of talks between Iran and six world powers in Lausanne, Switzerland. The agreement celebrated in the streets of Tehran with dancing and jubilation. In seasons past, modeling of the revealing of the lawless one was always very specific to Bill Clinton. Association with the office of the US Presidency continued in this season of the masked model with Obama doing most of the modeling.
Here's an item from April 9.
President Obama Gives a Rainbow Salute As He Leaves Jamaica
“President Barack Obama gave off good vibes as he waved farewell to Jamaica on Thursday. While he was preparing to board Air Force One, a rainbow appeared high in the sky, and cameras managed to get the president's picture perfect goodbye. The White House's official photographer, Pete Souza, snapped an image of Obama waving with the rainbow appearing to arch right out of his hand.”
Casting a rainbow suggests the exercise of control over the physics of this space-time domain and transits between dimensions. Daniel 7:25
Barack Obama, who assumed that name, is identified with a similar aerial phenomenon, that of lightning. Web search barack obama lightning satan falling. The campaign slogan for his first term, "yes we can," produces, "thank you satan," when recorded and played in reverse.
Here's an interesting video presenting an insight about a historical connection.
The Esther Connection: Haman and Barack
On April 8, 2015 (the 19th day of the 1st month) there was a kind of controversy over baptism (Greek: baptizo - to dip) was in the news.
Sabra Dipping Company Issues Nationwide Voluntary Recall of Select SKUs of its Classic Hummis “Today Sabra Dipping Co., LLC announced that it is voluntarily recalling approximately 30,000 cases of its Classic Hummus due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. This measure is limited to five SKUs of Classic Hummus sold nationwide. To date, no other Sabra product is affected by this recall.”
The numbers and language of the item are notable. If you're not familiar with the symbolism of the Sabra brand, I recommend this post where it's decoded: Part 21 - Signs of Horus Worship - RA, Just RA and Decoding Sabra
There was also this baptism activity I already reported, performed on the 12th day of the 1st month when the epic hoax is to be expected. The officiating agent of the Vatican was the one who holds the office of the “high priest” who will be doing the baptizing of the lawless one.
Pope washes the feet of 12 inmates, 1 infant at Rome prison in Holy Thursday ritual
According to the prophetic scenario of Acts 12, Peter is imprisoned during Pesah and released on the last day of the Feast in a Bride Theft model. James, who was killed with the sword, represents other saints who are martyred just prior to the Feast. In the masked model that was, we noted a couple of notable news about Christians .
Police: Muslims threw Christians overboard during Med voyage “Italy's migration crisis took on a deadly new twist Thursday as police in Sicily reported that Muslim migrants had thrown 12 Christians overboard during a recent crossing from Libya, and an aid group said another 41 were feared drowned in a separate incident.”
Many others fleeing the persecution were also drowned in the sea in that season.
Terror attack over, 147 dead at Kenya university
Part of an al Shabab intelligence unit based in neighboring Somalia stormed Garissa University College in northern Kenya, killing 147 people, wounding dozens and taking hostages. Christians were singled out and slain, executioner style. according to the article linked above: “Sheik Abdiasis Abu Musab, the group's military operations spokesman, said many Christians were being held by the militants. "We sorted people out and released the Muslims," he told Reuters.”
The model is masked, elaborately masked, but it is certainly evident.
One of the key elements of the season is pictured in the prophetic scenario of John 21. It's what Romans 11:15 calls, “their acceptance.” In the masked model witnessed during this past Pesah, the following relevant sign was noted. A son was birthed through some difficulty on April 6, Israel David.
Sister in haMashiach, Ruth, noted that Jill Duggar (of TLC's show “19 Kids and Counting”) gave birth to her firstborn son, Israel David. He was supposed to be born in a home birth, but there were complications that required specialized care!
Jill (Duggar) Dillard Went for a Pedicure with Husband Derick After Her Water Broke
“When her water broke in the early hours of April 4 following 41 weeks and 5 days of pregnancy, the 19 Kids and Counting star went to sleep and managed to squeeze in a morning appointment with her chiropractor. ("I wanted to get aligned before birth," Jill tells PEOPLE exclusively.) Finally, after a grueling 70-hour labor and an unexpected C-section, Israel David was born. "I looked at him and said, 'He is so beautiful,' " says Jill. Derick, too, was awestruck: "I looked at him and thought, 'This is my son. I love this person.' " ”
The 144k sons of Israel who are being modeled are seen in biblical scenarios as John, the beloved saint whom the Lord loved. King David was referred to as a man after God's own heart.
From another article, “To distract Jill after a full day of labor with little progression and contractions just a minute apart, soon-to-be "amazing" dad Derick played spiritual songs that the couple both love and read Bible verses and inspirational sayings. ”
What an amazing season this is!
We want to express our gratitude to everyone who has contributed and continues to contribute during this season, giving time in prayer, giving financially, sharing insights and observations about news and events and personal dreams, visions and signs.

CERN and the SYMMETRY trailer 2
CERN's “ministry of propaganda” has released a second trailer for their opera/dance film.
SYMMETRY - CERN opera, trailer v.2
At 52-54 seconds into the trailer we see the main character's analog watch running backward! Time is moving in reverse. While there is an artistic interpretation offered as a cover story, it's the control over time itself - even the turning back of time - that is a goal of CERN's LHC project.
A video I made about the first Symmetry film trailer explains it pretty well.Urgent - Insight into CERN's Time Machine
It's not the sending of people through space-time that is their goal, but the full exploitation of time-space to achieve every objective of the Enemy of the sovereign Creator. Through the combination of ancient and modern technologies and magickal ritual, worshipers of the ancient gods, who are inspired and directed by them, will soon achieve success. It will be distinctly limited, because otherwise, no flesh would be saved, according to the faithful word of Matthew 24:22.
One of the entities credited for the film is TRUTH.IO “The Media Arts Label.” IO means input-output to many folks, which is a computer term. It is also the spelling of the Greek Helio, which references Helios, the sun god, aka Apollo, Horus, Ra/Re, Sol... You can read more about this symbolism in a blog series about Signs of Horus Worship like in this post: Part 8 - Signs of Horus Worship - Studio ~ Stud IO
Tomorrow is Shavuot. It is appointed for the fulfillment of the wheat harvest, a bringing of what began in Acts 2 full circle to a substantial closure. However, it will not be fulfilled on schedule - at least not yet on this time line. Wow. It is just so strange to make such a bizarre declaration, but there it is. It's going to be fulfilled on the Shavuot 2015 schedule, but after a reboot, “Take 2.” How long until the disruption that necessitates a reset, and how far back in time will the continuity begin anew? Stay alert and keep watch with us. The Lord continues to work with Aaron and I with promise of further insight, and although you haven't heard much from us about it, He has not been slack.

Revelation 10 - WOW!
Another in a series of very noteworthy chapters has been analyzed and published as an Interactive presentation of thematic symmetry. Revelation 10 - WOW!
Updated June 19 to present this chapter in the larger context:
Thematic Symmetry of Revelation Chapters 4 through 11 - Interactive
A couple days ago, when I first set my sights on this one, the Lord gave me a heads up that it was about the time reset. As the symmetrical structure became evident, the Lord made it apparent that this was very personal for Aaron and I, and confirming what we've been attesting to about the strange nature of this season. There's lots more to be said about this amazing revelation, but briefly, consider verse 11.
Why, again? The prophecies will be heard for the first time by nearly all the hearers, but those prophesying will have already done it once before. In the first season, the food (Word of life-bread broken and served at the proper time) has seemed sweet like honey, but yet it's like food that has only yet come so far as being in the mouth. In the second season, the word prophesied will be as food in the stomach, and bitter.
About the last phrase of verse 6, many versions of the Bible are similar to the NASB, but many differ.
Aramaic Bible in Plain English: “Time shall be no more.”
King James Bible: “that there should be time no longer”
Webster's Bible Translation: “that there should be time no longer:”
Jubilee Bible 2000: “that there should be time no longer”
English Revised Version: “that there shall be time no longer”
Douay-Rheims Bible: “That time shall be no longer.”
Holman Christian Standard Bible: “There will no longer be an interval of time”
Young's Literal Translation: “that time shall not be yet”
The Hebrew word for, time, here is chronos. If you understand the water-as-time metaphor, you should grasp how this entire chapter is on that theme. Consider how the hand raised to heaven is the one above the foot that stands on the sea. In the odd little triplet of verse 6, we see the heaven and sea connected and connecting, and linked to what is being said - and the modeling stance. The mystery of God is what the seven thunders spoke about. There was no need for John to record what they said because, in the season we're about to repeat, it's going to be manifest. The mystery has been well kept, but the season has come where the Lord is opening up these long hidden treasures to His servants.

Daniel 7 - Interactive - "alterations in times and in law"
Yesterday, I published another interactive presentation of thematic symmetry online, one in a series that pertains to our continuing passionate inquiry into where we are now on the Lord's schedule of appointments. I chose to analyze the thematic symmetry of this chapter because it conceals and reveals important things about time.
Update: That presentation has been expanded to feature 8 consecutive chapters from Daniel, including 7 through 12.
Last month, the Lord indicated to Aaron and I that the book of Daniel held keys to understanding this very unique season so we're using all the tools at our disposal, which the Lord has so generously provided. Applying the techniques of structural analysis alongside an investigation into the meaning of the Hebrew texts is already yielding fruit, and we're really just getting started.
I'm going to make a few observations about Daniel 7 and this fascinating chapter's unusual symmetry.
First, this chapter contains an instance of what I call the keystone pattern, which is a time code. There's actually a nested embedding of the pattern, and you can explore what's been written here for more detail: The Keystone Pattern - Three Things Then the Fourth (Daniel 7 - The Fourth Beast).
A verse of notable interest is Daniel 7:25.
“They,” possibly refers to the saints but definitely to times and laws. That is not about a former Pope's institution of Sunday Law, changing the Sabbath from day 7 to day 1, or about changing holidays or time zones or calendars. Religious or moral laws have been a traditional focus but the symmetry of the passage, which reveals the highly structured context for our guidance, should make it plain that it's time itself, the familiar continuity of space-time that is the subject, and that the law is not the Mosaic Law but rather the natural laws of physics. In the days of Noah, a special sign of the bow in the clouds was given, and that bears witness to how changes had been made to physical laws involving light and its travel through the sky, a heaven above earth.
If you explore the interactive presentation you'll discover that there are 4 elements highlighted when you hover your mouse cursor over the interesting line of verse 25.
During this past Pesah, when the Lord was pouring out such favor in that season of such high expectation, our attention was given to the trending highlighting of verses numbered 21 and 22, in many chapters. The pair in Matthew 24 is one example. Here in Daniel 7, the symmetry identifies the pair as an element of some note.
Compare verses 9 and 10 to the description of the throne vehicle in Ezekiel chapters 1 and 10. The throne was that of the Ancient of Days, a title that has everything to do with time. The river of fire is interesting, with the use of the standard Hebrew words for river and fire. The river of fire is like a river of water, a metaphorical river of time. See Revelation 22:1. Think about the “lake of fire” as a place where time is not experienced as we do in these bodies in this time-space realm. With the throne ablaze with flames and wheels that were a burning fire, this was a fiery other-dimensional contraption, a time-space machine. (Of related interest: Heaven's Vehicles - UFOs - Fake and Genuine and The Kingdom Viaduct)
There's lots more to be said about all this. Lord willing.
Time and physical laws are not going to be continuing as they have, and are quite probably already in flux. Have you been paying attention to how you perceive the passage of time now, or have you noticed what others can be overheard saying about how time strangely seems to either be passing very slowly or quickly? When CERN's LHC was in operation in 2012, we wonder if there wasn't already some change manifesting.

His throne was ablaze with flames, its wheels were a burning fire. 10 “A river of fire was flowing and coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, and myriads upon myriads were standing before Him;
...
18 But the saints of the Highest One will receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, for all ages to come.’
...
21 I kept looking, and that horn was waging war with the saints and overpowering them 22 until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom.

Observations and Notes
Although I haven't published any posts recently, the Lord has been continuing to work with us on several fronts. There just hasn't been much to report.
CERN's LHC has begun low energy collisions, according to official reports.
Low-energy collisions tune LHC experiments
Because the unique nature of this season raises so many questions, and because of the Lord's faithfulness to leading in the familiar ways, we're anticipating some breakthroughs to be forthcoming. When, we don't know, but we see the signs of progress being made. We noted that Walpurgisnacht / Beltane did not pass without incident, and that the high ritual season appears to have had an enduring impact.
You may find some of these to be of interest, which relate to control over time. No endorsement of anyone or their view is implied.

It's worth noting that localized time distortion phenomena have long been associated with UFO activity and alien abduction scenarios. Have you considered pilot Pastor Gary Stearman's public testimony?
First time testimony blows lid off famous Bentwaters UFO incident. Concerning the
Rendlesham Forest/ Bentwaters UFO incident in December 1980: “About 40 personnel from the base's 81st police squadron witnessed the UFO that night, but Penniston and Burroughs were the only two people to get close enough to touch the craft. Burroughs testified that both their watches were 45 minutes off when they returned to base.”

The Divine Symmetry of Daniel 9:18-27 * updated and expanded
A presentation of the divine symmetry of Daniel 9 has just been published. Verses 20-27 are of primary interest, and verses 18 and 19 are included for some context as a segue, the last structural element from the text of Daniel's supplication.
Updated: That has been replaced by an expanded version that spans the entirety of chapters 7-12.
Daniel 7-12 - Interactive
This latest addition to the collection of interactive structures from the book of Daniel makes this part of our most passionate project nearly complete. We hope you enjoy it, investing some of the best hours of the day meditating on the Word of Life with the Author Himself.

Daniel 8: The Transgression - Intrusion into Another's Domain
Daniel chapters 9, 11 and 12 were identified in a recent post (Following the Trail Through Daniel: "Time Continuity to Turn Aside") as having hidden keys to understanding our unique time. Daniel 8 must certainly be included among them. 
Because the Author reveals the context through the inherent symmetry of the themes, I've undertaken to analyze the structure of Daniel 7-12. I've posted an interactive version online.
Daniel 7-12 - Interactive
Tech tips: As you explore this remarkable structure, you'll notice that when the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to the hand, you can mouse click to bring up a commentary window. If that window is not positioned well when it pops up, you can drag it to another position. If it looks broken, your web browser is probably using a cached version of a helper file. Try holding the control button and hitting F5 to force your brower to reload a new version. That should fix it. Generally, the bigger the monitor is that you see this on, the better it will be. The sizing of the text can be adjusted to make the page fit the way you want. Try keyboard shortcuts: ctrl-+ and ctrl- and remember to refresh the page after changing text size, so the long vertical bars will be able to adjust to your new view.
Note that “transgression” isn't a moral or legal issue. It has to do with a dimensional boundary breach and unauthorized intrusion into another time-space domain.
I had a revelation insight about Daniel 8 several years ago, back before the Iraq War began in 2003. (America: Rushing Across the Threshold of Daniel Eight: Part I | Part II) In these last days, the Shaggy Goat is America. The two horns of the ram represent the rulers of Iraq and Iran. Given the sequence of events presented in Daniel 8, it is evident that both Iraq and Iran must fall after engaging with the USA, and that the power of the USA will then be broken. Four kingdoms will arise from out of the broken USA, and the little horn king will arise from one of those four. Then, the really interesting things happen, which are the subjects of the companion elements highlighted in the image of the thematic structure above. When time is reset, how far back into the past will it be? I don't yet know, but it appears as though it will have to be far enough into the past for those events to unfold as prophesied - unless a US-Iran war that seems to be impending will somehow factor into the loop back.
When the revelation insight was given to me about the identification of those agents involved in the conflicts, I had no insight into how it was specifically related to anything else so I could pin it to the calendar. However, now that we're aware of the time war and how this present calendar season is going to replay with different events, the options are a little more plain.

The Temple and Time, and Our Blessed Situation
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. ~ Proverbs 25:2
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. ~ Proverbs 25:2
As the Lord Jesus Christ, Y'shua haMashiach, continues to watch jealously over His beloved, let's press in to discover what He is pleased to reveal.
In the last two posts, some of what Aaron and I find very compelling was introduced regarding the nature of our situation. The passages of scripture we touched on use language descriptive of the Temple and the sacrifices made there, with familiar translations naming the Temple of God (2 Th. 2:4), the holy place (Mt. 24:15), the sanctuary (Dn 11:31), and the regular or daily sacrifice (Dn 11:31, 12:11 ). If you received insight into what I was trying to illustrate, the setting is heavenly at least as much as being earthly in nature. The earthly Temple and sacrifices are shadows of the heavenly Temple. Both are real, but only one of them exists in the present.
Another primary element that was observed in those passages alongside the featuring of the Temple setting was the subject of time itself. The divinely inspired symmetry of those very passages makes it very evident. Having insight into how water is a metaphor for time makes the strength of that pairing all the more apparent. It's been well established (Will No One Know the Day?) that the theme of knowing the time underscores the entire chapter of Matthew 24, one that, and not coincidentally, begins on the subject of the Temple.
Jesus came out from the temple and was going away when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him. 2 And He said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.” ~ Matthew 24:1-2
So, two dominant themes weave together on the trail we followed, the Temple and time. These are bound tightly together, and this is a key observation. Have you ever heard of The Temple at the Center of Time? It's the title of a book by the late David Flynn. One premise made by the author is that the number of nautical miles from the Temple Mount to a particular location relates to when an important event happened there. One way this relationship can be expressed is through the observation that one nautical mile equates to one year AD. David included some interesting examples in the book, and I tested his hypothesis further and proved the theory to my satisfaction. I discovered a remarkable example involving D-Day and the famous invasion of WW2. June 6, 1944 becomes 1944.43 nautical miles.
If you sweep an arc of that radius from the anchor point on the Temple Mount, it intersects the beach known today as UTAH beach, in Normandy, France. That's the focal point for the bulk of the invasion forces - precisely!The evidence that there is something real and significant about the identification of the geophysical location of the Temple as an anchor for time-space is undeniable. The observation of how the subject of the Temple and its services are bound together with that of time and the wielding of control over time-space in the passages we tracked through in the previous post should speak loudly to us. If you can let these things settle in your minds and hearts, taking them before the Lord of Time Himself, you will develop a confidence in the legitimacy of these things we are now reading in the scriptures as with strange new eyes.
The truth of even this unique season has been written in His word for our instruction and comfort. The prophet Daniel was promised that, at the time of the end, the wise would understand. The One Who promised is faithful, and we cling to that belief with a tenacious grip. The Lord steadfastly affirms it with the familiar working of the holy spirit and with signs following.
Consider just how much effort has gone into providing a sound foundation for these works I'm almost casually referencing in this post. The Lord's investment in David Flynn was huge. David's own personal investment in coming to the place of being able to write that book was huge. The Lord's investment in me, and mine in producing the thematic structures and their interactive presentations, and in the coming to this place where I have the confidence in my knowledge of the time to boldly declare these things - huge. And there's that very significant investment represented in Aaron, who has been partnered alongside me in this work! Sir Isaac Newton's very significant contribution must also be brought to the fore in this accounting of the work invested in the laying of the foundation we're so privileged to build upon. How many others have been and are being engaged are innumerable, from those engaged in the transmission of the biblical texts to those saints who have inspired us with awesome testimonies of the Lord's favor, to those of you who undergird us with your diligent prayers and funding and who share precious testimonies, dreams, visions and insights. Where we are, today saints, is really monumental. Take stock of what the Lord is doing with all of us. Reflect deeply on the Lord's investment in you, and in those who have helped you come to this day to find yourself as you are, in Him.
Our God is so good to us! Praise His Holy name!

Following the Trail Through Daniel: "Time Continuity to Turn Aside"
Continuing from the previous post, let's launch into some very interesting passages that directly correspond to Matthew 24:21-22. In the following image, you see a screen capture from the interactive version of Matthew 24. Verse 21 and verse 15, its companion element, are highlighted for comparison.
We know these elements match because of the symmetry of the themes in the context. This observation isn't of some random factoid but rather the acknowledgment of one of the Author's hidden ways of directing the student. With confidence in the connection, we may apply what we've learned about verse 21 to increase our understanding of verse 15.
The expression, “let the reader understand,” stands out. Y'shua would sometimes declare, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” In verse, 15, that's for the reader, not the hearer or listener. It's for us. Reading. Now. He is helping, opening our ears.
So, we're directed into the book of Daniel to get more insight into what is meant, and that direction is so obvious that it's almost like a flashing neon arrow. As we follow that direction, we take with us what has been learned about the megas thlipsis. We know that it's a unique season that features a time war, the elect's special op and the subsequent reset that manifests in a replay of the recent past, with changed outcomes.
A traditional view of the abomination of desolation sees it as having been modeled before. These are easily discovered. Wikipedia identifies three instances: The re-dedication of the Temple to Zeus by Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 167 BC, the worship of the Roman Standards on the Temple Mount under Titus in 70 AD and the building of the Dome of the Rock by the Umayyad Caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan in 691 AD. I'm not rejecting those or any interpretations that focus on what manifests strictly in this realm and involves an earthly Temple. However, what we're into here is beyond the natural order of things, a perspective that will become more apparent in the book of Daniel.
The abomination of desolation is the subject of Daniel 12:11, 11:31 and a little more loosely, of Daniel 9:27. Let's begin with chapter 12.
The following image is a screenshot from the interactive version, showing the highlighted target verse with its thematic companion. Feel free to explore the interactive version (click on the image to load it in your browser) until you're convinced that the highlighted elements are matching, as claimed.
Here's some commentary about verses 5-7, excerpted from a recent post.
I've also written about the expression, “time, times and half a time,” that it suggests the manipulation of a time-space portal. (“The Penitent Man” ...manipulate a wormhole to facilitate time travel ... speeding up one end (times) while slowing down the other (half a time).)
The secret key to understanding involves knowing that the management of time or time-space is in view. Are you catching on? Let the reader understand. We're dealing with time in flux, shifting, with disruptions of the regular flow of time. The perceived continuum will be set in disarray, and this provides the setting for the unfolding of the prophecies. The numbers of days given in verses 11 and 12 must be understood to apply within the framework of this unique season when non-linear progressions are a reality.
Moving on to Daniel 11, the following image is a screenshot from the interactive version I published a few days ago. Again, we see the highlighted target verse with its thematic companion; and again, feel free to explore the interactive version (click on the image to load it in your browser) until you're convinced that the highlighted elements are indeed matching.
As you reflect on the companion to the verse that names the abomination of desolation, what should come to mind is 2 Thessalonians 2.
I've written at length about that context, with a central event being a baptism and anointing that will manifest as a sign for the Bride. That's the sign that is appointed for the 13th day of the 1st month, even the very one that passed by just a few weeks ago. It's so far unfulfilled, but that's not yet the end of the matter. The revealing of the lawless one will still come right on schedule, at the appointed time.
The English word, “apostasy,” is translated from the Greek word that literally means, a standing away from. The thematic companion reveals that it has everything to do with transitions in the heavenly realm. You may recall my dramatic history with this passage and this very pairing, going all the way back to 1991. Consider the time words in verses 6 and 7: restrains him now - in his time - already at work - now restrains - until. Also, in verse 3, unless the *standing away from* comes first. Clues, important clues.
There are good reasons why I've been laboring to bring forth these thematic exhibits. They provide those of us who seek after it with significant benefit in this season!
The Lord permits His Adversary to acquire a degree of control over space-time for a limited season, to accomplish His own purposes. Stargates will be opened and transits will be made, and great delusion will be poured out. Matthew 24 reveals that all but the very elect will absolutely be deceived. This happens in the context of great tribulation. This is what the abomination of desolation is about.
A penetrating look at the passage in 2 Thessalonians 2 adds further insight to those we've visited in following a well marked trail from Matthew 24. Although there is language that clearly points us to the physical, natural and earthly, there is a deeper layering where supernatural activites are pictured, heavenly realms are accessed and time-space is manipulated. When considering these passages, lift up your eyes. Seek the Lord's help in seeing not the earthly but where thrones are heavenly and kings and warriors are angelic and wars are time wars.
Let's return to give our target verse in Daniel 11 a closer look.
Fortress. Young's literal (YLT) translates it as, stronghold.
In Daniel 11:31, see the fortified sanctuary as one that is not carnal, and the warring as not being of the kind that is after the flesh.
Here's how the NASB lexicon renders the Hebrew of, “and do away with the regular sacrifice.”
To turn aside continuity. Think: Space time continuum. The KJV lexicon renders it, “To turn off continuance.” The natural flow of time is going to be disrupted, and, while there will be a significant impact on the natural order, it will be influenced by what impact there is on the heavenly order.
Let's return to our target verse in Daniel 12.
Can't we begin to accept that in the literal sense, knowing now what we're really facing?
We know these elements match because of the symmetry of the themes in the context. This observation isn't of some random factoid but rather the acknowledgment of one of the Author's hidden ways of directing the student. With confidence in the connection, we may apply what we've learned about verse 21 to increase our understanding of verse 15.
Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), ~ Matthew 24:15
The expression, “let the reader understand,” stands out. Y'shua would sometimes declare, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” In verse, 15, that's for the reader, not the hearer or listener. It's for us. Reading. Now. He is helping, opening our ears.
So, we're directed into the book of Daniel to get more insight into what is meant, and that direction is so obvious that it's almost like a flashing neon arrow. As we follow that direction, we take with us what has been learned about the megas thlipsis. We know that it's a unique season that features a time war, the elect's special op and the subsequent reset that manifests in a replay of the recent past, with changed outcomes.
A traditional view of the abomination of desolation sees it as having been modeled before. These are easily discovered. Wikipedia identifies three instances: The re-dedication of the Temple to Zeus by Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 167 BC, the worship of the Roman Standards on the Temple Mount under Titus in 70 AD and the building of the Dome of the Rock by the Umayyad Caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan in 691 AD. I'm not rejecting those or any interpretations that focus on what manifests strictly in this realm and involves an earthly Temple. However, what we're into here is beyond the natural order of things, a perspective that will become more apparent in the book of Daniel.
The abomination of desolation is the subject of Daniel 12:11, 11:31 and a little more loosely, of Daniel 9:27. Let's begin with chapter 12.
The following image is a screenshot from the interactive version, showing the highlighted target verse with its thematic companion. Feel free to explore the interactive version (click on the image to load it in your browser) until you're convinced that the highlighted elements are matching, as claimed.
Here's some commentary about verses 5-7, excerpted from a recent post.
“The river is the river of time. Two stood by it, one on each bank, on the earth but distinctly separated by time, which is to say, in different referential systems. The man dressed in linen who was above the waters of the river was over the river of time, above or beyond time and unbound to either referential system. One standing on a bank asked him a question about time which, of course, would pertain to his particular frame of reference. The man dressed in linen swore by Him who lives forever, which is a descriptive that pertains to time and declares the relevant domain of His authority, which is time. The answer given contains a very interesting reference to how long it would be. Although it is typically interpreted to simply indicate the span of three and a half years, there's more to it than just that. The expression, “time, times and half a time” literally refers to time, multiplied time and fractional time.”
I've also written about the expression, “time, times and half a time,” that it suggests the manipulation of a time-space portal. (“The Penitent Man” ...manipulate a wormhole to facilitate time travel ... speeding up one end (times) while slowing down the other (half a time).)
The secret key to understanding involves knowing that the management of time or time-space is in view. Are you catching on? Let the reader understand. We're dealing with time in flux, shifting, with disruptions of the regular flow of time. The perceived continuum will be set in disarray, and this provides the setting for the unfolding of the prophecies. The numbers of days given in verses 11 and 12 must be understood to apply within the framework of this unique season when non-linear progressions are a reality.
Moving on to Daniel 11, the following image is a screenshot from the interactive version I published a few days ago. Again, we see the highlighted target verse with its thematic companion; and again, feel free to explore the interactive version (click on the image to load it in your browser) until you're convinced that the highlighted elements are indeed matching.
As you reflect on the companion to the verse that names the abomination of desolation, what should come to mind is 2 Thessalonians 2.
36 “Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will speak monstrous things against the God of gods; and he will prosper until the indignation is finished, for that which is decreed will be done. ~ Daniel 11:36
3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
I've written at length about that context, with a central event being a baptism and anointing that will manifest as a sign for the Bride. That's the sign that is appointed for the 13th day of the 1st month, even the very one that passed by just a few weeks ago. It's so far unfulfilled, but that's not yet the end of the matter. The revealing of the lawless one will still come right on schedule, at the appointed time.
The English word, “apostasy,” is translated from the Greek word that literally means, a standing away from. The thematic companion reveals that it has everything to do with transitions in the heavenly realm. You may recall my dramatic history with this passage and this very pairing, going all the way back to 1991. Consider the time words in verses 6 and 7: restrains him now - in his time - already at work - now restrains - until. Also, in verse 3, unless the *standing away from* comes first. Clues, important clues.
There are good reasons why I've been laboring to bring forth these thematic exhibits. They provide those of us who seek after it with significant benefit in this season!
The Lord permits His Adversary to acquire a degree of control over space-time for a limited season, to accomplish His own purposes. Stargates will be opened and transits will be made, and great delusion will be poured out. Matthew 24 reveals that all but the very elect will absolutely be deceived. This happens in the context of great tribulation. This is what the abomination of desolation is about.
A penetrating look at the passage in 2 Thessalonians 2 adds further insight to those we've visited in following a well marked trail from Matthew 24. Although there is language that clearly points us to the physical, natural and earthly, there is a deeper layering where supernatural activites are pictured, heavenly realms are accessed and time-space is manipulated. When considering these passages, lift up your eyes. Seek the Lord's help in seeing not the earthly but where thrones are heavenly and kings and warriors are angelic and wars are time wars.
4 Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law; 5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, "SEE," He says, "THAT YOU MAKE all things ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN WHICH WAS SHOWN YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN." ~ Hebrews 8:4-5
Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. ~ Hebrews 9:23
Let's return to give our target verse in Daniel 11 a closer look.
Forces from him will arise, desecrate the sanctuary fortress, and do away with the regular sacrifice. And they will set up the abomination of desolation. ~ Daniel 11:31
Fortress. Young's literal (YLT) translates it as, stronghold.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, 4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. ~ 2 Corinthians 10:3-4
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) ~ 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 KJV
In Daniel 11:31, see the fortified sanctuary as one that is not carnal, and the warring as not being of the kind that is after the flesh.
Here's how the NASB lexicon renders the Hebrew of, “and do away with the regular sacrifice.”
Let's return to our target verse in Daniel 12.
From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. ~ Daniel 12:11
According to the NASB Lexicon, “From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished” is rendered literally as, “time continuity to turn aside.”Thursday, April 23, 2015
The Time Pivot of Matthew 24:21-22
Aaron and I want to first express our gratitude to those of you who have responded already to the previous post by donating and/or by praying. We really appreciate the sincere show of care and we do so appreciate and covet your prayers. May the Lord of the harvest honor your deeds with a multiplied harvest of blessing.
Now, with regard to watching in this season according to the Lord's command, we have the benefit of hindsight to help us interpret some of the puzzling things we've recently witnessed. This hindsight also sheds light on some of the familiar scriptures that were so useful in helping us get to the place where we find ourselves now. With some questions answered we have the benefit of being able to ask new and better questions. Some of the most pressing questions we face go something like this. Have we yet received the love of the Truth, or will we? Since time is going to be reset back into the past, how long have we got before our labors in this season will be finished, and how will they be accounted to us? Does it still matter if we know the time? I know the answer to that one. Yes, It does still matter, and that's one of the things that staying alert and watchful helps with. Knowing the time in advance and then watching it pass established a foundation for our watching in this season.
Why didn't we know in advance that it was going to pass without being fulfilled yet? We were set up. But, not in a bad way. The Lord does this kind of thing with His people, concealing and revealing just what is fit for His plans, according to His good pleasure. This is not for evil but for good, for the building of trust, and love, as with patience and mercy He prepares His people for service and for the greatest salvation. Our watch of the former season didn't produce a false alarm but one that was quite genuine.
With that in mind, we can see the following passage in a brighter light.
Based on what I shared in the study, Will No One Know the Day?, just like Noah knew when the flood would come, some will know when the Lord comes for His alert and watchful saints. Why then the puzzling statements of verses 42 and 44? Because we know, and yet, because we do know, we find ourselves now in the curious position of not yet knowing. However, the truth remains, that some will know, and we can conclude that the Lord, according to His faithfulness to His promises, is going to reveal the secret about how long we've got. It must be so, and the already known schedule of appointments will be kept despite the appointed times being now past. There's going to be a rolling back, a return back to the past. It's not science fiction, even though that's the familiar genre where we find models of this kind. The Bible is filled with accounts of extraordinary occurrences. It always takes faith to accept the truth, which the carnal mind typically rejects as completely implausible.
Simplified, a model will look something like this.
I've claimed that this is documented in the Bible, and I want to introduce you to some of what the Lord has opened to us so far. For me to make any progress at all I'm going to have to assume you're working to keep up with what I've already written recently. I apologize in advance for any undue complexity or where I may neglect to provide adequate referencing.
Keys are hidden in the book of Daniel, and the discovery of some of them has to do with the cross referencing of Daniel 11 and 12 and between Matthew 24 and Revelation 12 and 2 Thessalonians 2. The thematic structures of the passages are very useful guides. Some of the traditionally accepted interpretations will have to be assigned a lesser role in your minds in order to bring the subjects into focus.
I've been writing about Matthew 24:22 for a while, pointing out how the elect are going to be involved in a time mission. (One example: Because of the Elect Those Days Will be Cut Short) Having now come to this new and very unique season, we understand more about how it fits into the picture.
The resetting action will result in a restarting from a point in time prior to when the event that triggers the episode happens, a loop back, a “do-over.” Consider how the language of verses 21 and 22 illustrates this.
Let's track the tense. Verse 21 is as we should expect in a discussion of things that haven't happened yet. “For then there will be a great tribulation.” But when we get to verse 22, the tense changes. “Unless those days had been cut short.” “had been.” In the Greek, the word form is precise. The part of speech isn't ambiguous because the spelling itself identifies it plainly. The form used in the text is Aorist Indicative Passive. The Aorist tense in the Indicative mood indicates an action that took place in the past, as a single and completed action.
If it wasn't the Bible we're dealing with we could perhaps simply dismiss that peculiarity as an error of some kind, but it is the Bible, and the NASB renders it correctly. Had been cut short.
The sentence continues; “no life would have been saved.” Once more, the spelling of the word tells us the form is the Aorist Indicative Passive. The NASB again renders it accurately; “no life would have been saved.” The Author is speaking from a perspective where He is looking back on something that already occurred some time in the past.
Okay. Pause for a moment and get your bearings. What this means is that the passage went from referring to the subject as something yet future to something that was already completed in the past. The same sentence then makes reference to the subject as being yet future, with the construction, “will be.” “...but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.” Tracking the tense of this passage shows a revolving around the subject, addressing it as future, then past, then future again. Think about it. Time pivots, reversing twice. A change is illustrated where time folds back on itself, or loops, or shifts.
The insight we're given about the uniqueness of this megas thlipsis even serves to direct our attention to the subject of the past and the future in a conspicuous way.
The past: “has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now”
The future: “nor ever will”
So, the context reveals that this unique matter has to do with megas thlipsis, great tribulation, and it involves the elect who will have a role as benefactors in some special “all flesh saving” action. Based on what the Lord showed Aaron and I a few weeks ago, "Those days" of megas thlipsis refer to a season that was described as, “when the Devil has control of time.” He'll be permitted by the sovereign God and Lord of Time to acquire a degree of control over the time-space domain. That control will allow him to achieve certain objectives, but when the appointed limits of this provision have been reached, the Lord will bring that season to an end. He has chosen to involve his elect in that special op. The result of all that is, from one perspective, the replaying of a recent season that will produce the appointed biblical schedule of prophesied events.
We note that the Devil doesn't yet know his time is short. His view of things is that he's got the victory well in hand. When this reset has played out, and what he was able to thwart is found merely to have been deferred, he's going to be very, very angry.
I'm now, Lord willing, about to launch from this into some very interesting related passages. For preparation, you may want to explore this interactive thematic structure I just published on Daniel 11. (Update: This work has been expanded, now spanning chapters 7-12.)
Thematic Symmetry of Daniel 7 - 12 - Interactive
Note that there are seven levels of introversion represented in 11:27-45. The number 7 is a special time number, like 21 (3*7) and 12 (3*4). Seven days in a week. Seven millennia of time. Seven years in a Shemitah. Seven weeks counted off before Shavuot. Seven sevens of years count off before the Yobel. Daniel's seventieth seven of years.
You may find this interactive version of Matthew 24 useful in this study.
Here's a collection of some of the recent posts that are most pertinent, for review.

42 Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. 43 But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 44 For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will. ~ Matthew 24:42-44

On Entering into Freedom, Sincerity and our Need for Tough Love
I expect to be writing more that is specifically focused on the times and seasons, but this ministry is about making the church glorious and this adventure some of us are on has two tracks that are bound together very tightly. The development of our character in this season is most critical.
To start out, here are two items some of you may find very helpful.
Others May, You Cannot
George Müller - Notes on living in faith
The Lord has been working many things on my heart and mind over the past several days. Aaron continues to be very intensely engaged by the Lord, and in this deeply penetrating work he has begun to embrace it, receiving a joy that comes from knowing in his innermost being how it is truly a rare privilege to be attended to with such profound love. We have both of us together been brought into a new place of abiding with strict discipline and contentment.
I have received email from some precious saints who have been or are being approached and engaged in similar ways, being touched by the Master's hand in a firm, corrective and restorative manner. We perceive that we have turned the page and the Lord's requirements are quite different from before. We all need His constant help to follow His invitation to go beyond where we have been willing to go in previous seasons. I have also received email from some saints who have chosen to avoid such unpleasantries, and that weighs so heavily on my heart this morning. The contrast between those who have received the principles of the “hear-do cycle” and those who have not has never been more evident. Those who are wise hear the word of the Lord and obey, and are rewarded with a hearing ear, and this is also the purchase of the Lord's eye salve. Those who hear and fall short of obedience suffer the loss of what limited visual acuity or discernment they already had, and with that loss they fail even to perceive it. I continue to experience the strongly contrasting emotions that come as the Lord brings this survey before me.
The Lord has been qualifying me to declare hard things that must be said in this season, which come from His merciful and abundant heart of love for His people. This is not to suggest that I'm perfect, but the Lord has a work to be done.
Most folks read this blog like they read the Bible, glossing over important bits while reading into it what they want to see. And, most will assure themselves that I wrote that about somebody else, but, I'm probably writing this for your benefit. How few there are who have truly paid attention to what has been written here in recent weeks. There was a swell of visitors to The Open Scroll over the past month or two, as traffic statistics indicate. I believe the increase was primarily due to a temporary interest in the perception of the potential for "the rapture" to occur. Evidence of this continues to manifest as people email and comment about Fall rapture possibilities or other possible scenarios.
No doubt this boldness is very offensive to some of you reading here now, and it should be if I actually have your attention. You'll think me arrogant and judgmental, but I'm not here to coddle or enable those who are content with what is going to produce in you a failed crop. I'm here to call you to wake up, by all means, and provide help with a fit word! Clean out your ears. Apply the eye salve liberally. Faith is failing all around and the blind are desperately grasping to find someone or something else to hope in.
I will repeat some of what I wrote in the previous post because it's that important.
There will be a rerun of this Pesah. Did you get that? I'm not predicting or speculating. If you are convinced that I am, I can only testify that you never truly came to know the time. It has passed. But, we're only going to advance linearly into the future for a set season, then we'll be returned back to some time prior to the 13th day of the 1st month. What those behind the CERN LHC effort are about to do will be largely responsible for this radical departure from the perceived continuum. With perfect timing, the Lord will involve His elect in a time reset mission, otherwise no flesh would be saved. No flesh at all.
Interest has been high in the CERN Time Machine YT video I made. Some new visitors to The Open Scroll have arrived through that work with their eyes open. Here's an mp3 we made from a recent Paul Begley interview that has been popular on YT. Thanks, everyone who brought this to our attention. I can't vet what “Mike From Around the World” is saying, but given what the Lord has revealed to Aaron and myself, there is value in considering what he has to say because it's not implausible.
Paul Begley interviews “Mike From Around the World” on the subject of CERN's LHC and the influence of dark matter
On to other business. Some long term readers of The Open Scroll have recently abandoned it entirely, or have gone into a detached lurker mode of one kind or another. My entire income is limited to what comes in through the PayPal donate button, and I can tell you that the sole regular sponsor of this work seems to have abandoned us. The last donation I received from anyone was on the 24th of March. Yet, since the level of gross income here has only ever been less than what some of you spend maintaining your pets, the impact of the cessation on my subsistence is pretty minimal. While scoffers and mockers are probably laughing with glee at that honest confession, some of you may find that candid report shocking and appalling. When my own resources ran out, Aaron's family generously took me in, and this has been the Lord's provision for the last few years. The Lord has been most kind to me and I have lacked nothing of all I have needed.
So, why haven't I just taken a clue, as some would advise, and given up on this seemingly fruitless venture, returning to my lucrative profession as a web developer after leaving at the peak of my career? I've had four really tempting opportunities present themselves over the past few years, none of which I sought to find. I chose to accept none of them, because each time I chose rather to abide in this humble position as your servant. I have no other source of income, no other employment. I collect no revenue from ads and do not engage in merchandising or profit in any way from other associations that would surely compromise me with conflicts of interest. High on the list of points of general failings of the saints who profess to aspire to become worthy of the Bridegroom is a matter that this lack of support indicates, that most fundamentally of sincerity of profession, hypocrisy.
The Lord's provision for me while in this temporal body presents me with options. I can choose those that involve deferral, forfeit here that purchases reward that is eternal. So can you. I freely admit to having become very frustrated with the lack of support in some former seasons, but eventually I have been brought, with much mercy, to a place of being able to abide with contentment, with an assurance that the Lord is pleased that it should be so, and, finding myself in this state, being able to identify very closely with the Apostle Paul himself.
In this season that is now of unknown duration, I have been led to update a legacy study and retitle it, Entering into the Freedom of Giving and Receiving. The study had previously featured a lengthy thematic analysis of 1 Corinthians 9, which I trimmed down because I upgraded the structural presentation to an interactive version. If you give it your attention you'll find this structure to be quite exquisite, beautifully elegant, and that the wisdom gleaned from it can be quite profound. The interactive version has also been embedded inside the study I just named. From that sudy, one of the included scriptures that addresses the support issue most simply is the following.
What Paul expressed in 1 Corinthians 9 applies very personally to us, if I am likewise made your servant. Like Paul wrote in verse 15, “I am not writing these things so that it will be done so in my case.” If you have other servants also, and your Master directs you to provide care for them, do so accordingly. This is no guilt tripping conscience manipulation attempt to wrangle funds out of your wallets to pad my fat coffers.
In 2 Corinthians 8, Paul probed the sincerity of the saints at Corinth, who had announced their good intentions but had not yet followed through. “Put your money where your mouth is.” That's a familiar expression that comes to mind. So, let's give the matter of sincerity of profession or hypocrisy some consideration.
To say one thing and do another, that's hypocrisy.
There are many commandments that were given specifically for the saints to walk in, yet how many of us care to actually do so? How we love to profess that we love God, when our deeds testify so loudly to the contrary that no one can hear a word of it above the din. Most of you who are even still reading this post or email have failed to allow the Lord to put the mirror of self-inspection before your face, to show you what you look like in His eyes. Many of you are shamelessly parading yourselves around the Internet and your churches and among your families and friends with an attitude judging yourselves to be fundamentally different from them, and better. You are all the more a hypocrite, if you are failing to acknowledge in that judgment the mercy that you are even now receiving from their Creator. Have you yet subjected your associations, religious, business and personal to the Lord's own approval? When conviction approaches you, do you flee it with ready excuses or don for protection some cosmetic image of your righteous self? Sloth and gluttony and self worship, these also have been brought to me as sins that must be named.
And, again, there is the matter of gender propriety. “Bob, really? Again with the gender propriety schtick?” People, your continued willingness to abide in rebellion against the Lord's appointment of authority has cost you plenty, and you don't even see it. Men and women alike foolishly sit at the feet of the women who teach in the church. I say this to your shame.
Fathers and mothers abide the unruliness of their children, and husbands of their wives, failing to seek and find the Lord's help in using His appointment of authority to His satisfaction. Testimonies of finding His approval in these things and of the reward of entering into the blessings of proper head covering are conspicuously lacking, not entirely, but to a very large degree.
Even yet, there is contentment to abide in these ways, and to profess how much God is loved and honored, but judgment has come for lawlessness and hypocrisy.
Look around you. Does this world look like it's worth following? Is theirs the reward you want to enter into? WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! This may now be our final chance to get our priorities straight, getting right with our Maker. We haven't yet lost the opportunity to fall on that Stone.
To start out, here are two items some of you may find very helpful.
Others May, You Cannot
George Müller - Notes on living in faith
The Lord has been working many things on my heart and mind over the past several days. Aaron continues to be very intensely engaged by the Lord, and in this deeply penetrating work he has begun to embrace it, receiving a joy that comes from knowing in his innermost being how it is truly a rare privilege to be attended to with such profound love. We have both of us together been brought into a new place of abiding with strict discipline and contentment.
He who withholds his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently. ~ Proverbs 13:24
4 You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin; 5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
Nor faint when you are reproved by Him;
6 For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines,
And He scourges every son whom He receives.”
7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness. 11 All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. ~ Hebrews 12:4-11
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
Nor faint when you are reproved by Him;
6 For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines,
And He scourges every son whom He receives.”

I have received email from some precious saints who have been or are being approached and engaged in similar ways, being touched by the Master's hand in a firm, corrective and restorative manner. We perceive that we have turned the page and the Lord's requirements are quite different from before. We all need His constant help to follow His invitation to go beyond where we have been willing to go in previous seasons. I have also received email from some saints who have chosen to avoid such unpleasantries, and that weighs so heavily on my heart this morning. The contrast between those who have received the principles of the “hear-do cycle” and those who have not has never been more evident. Those who are wise hear the word of the Lord and obey, and are rewarded with a hearing ear, and this is also the purchase of the Lord's eye salve. Those who hear and fall short of obedience suffer the loss of what limited visual acuity or discernment they already had, and with that loss they fail even to perceive it. I continue to experience the strongly contrasting emotions that come as the Lord brings this survey before me.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
13 The one who despises the word will be in debt to it,
But the one who fears the commandment will be rewarded.
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,
To turn aside from the snares of death. ~ Proverbs 13:12-14
But desire fulfilled is a tree of life.

But the one who fears the commandment will be rewarded.
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,

He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will suffer harm. ~ Proverbs 13:20
But the companion of fools will suffer harm. ~ Proverbs 13:20
8 Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you,
Reprove a wise man and he will love you.
9 Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser,
Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. ~ Proverbs 9:8-10
Reprove a wise man and he will love you.
9 Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser,
Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. ~ Proverbs 9:8-10
The Lord has been qualifying me to declare hard things that must be said in this season, which come from His merciful and abundant heart of love for His people. This is not to suggest that I'm perfect, but the Lord has a work to be done.
Most folks read this blog like they read the Bible, glossing over important bits while reading into it what they want to see. And, most will assure themselves that I wrote that about somebody else, but, I'm probably writing this for your benefit. How few there are who have truly paid attention to what has been written here in recent weeks. There was a swell of visitors to The Open Scroll over the past month or two, as traffic statistics indicate. I believe the increase was primarily due to a temporary interest in the perception of the potential for "the rapture" to occur. Evidence of this continues to manifest as people email and comment about Fall rapture possibilities or other possible scenarios.
No doubt this boldness is very offensive to some of you reading here now, and it should be if I actually have your attention. You'll think me arrogant and judgmental, but I'm not here to coddle or enable those who are content with what is going to produce in you a failed crop. I'm here to call you to wake up, by all means, and provide help with a fit word! Clean out your ears. Apply the eye salve liberally. Faith is failing all around and the blind are desperately grasping to find someone or something else to hope in.
I will repeat some of what I wrote in the previous post because it's that important.
“The value in knowing the time was first in knowing when it would come, and doing what was required for preparation. Then, the value was in that which was learned through diligent watching as it arrived. Now that the time has passed, the value is in grasping why. Those who don't believe that the appointed time really did pass fail to gain the benefit. That's you, if you're still looking toward the fall of this year for a rapture on a Fall Feast Day or for some other scenario to play out.
If you weren't paying very close attention to what has recently been written about the high strangeness of the zig zag time trajectory of Satan's fall, a time mission, an ark of salvation, and the epic hoax, I'll probably lose you at some point because I'm going to draw upon all that and the responsibility is yours to keep up with the pace. The Lord will help, or there is no help.
A span of time is going to be repeated, and what happens in the next version is going to be different.
...
As it stands today, with no revealing of the lawless one and thus no sign for the Bride, there was no interaction that would result in the Romans 11:15 “acceptance” trigger. The time passed. Victory: Satan. But it's not over until it's over - and my God is sovereign.

There will be a rerun of this Pesah. Did you get that? I'm not predicting or speculating. If you are convinced that I am, I can only testify that you never truly came to know the time. It has passed. But, we're only going to advance linearly into the future for a set season, then we'll be returned back to some time prior to the 13th day of the 1st month. What those behind the CERN LHC effort are about to do will be largely responsible for this radical departure from the perceived continuum. With perfect timing, the Lord will involve His elect in a time reset mission, otherwise no flesh would be saved. No flesh at all.
Interest has been high in the CERN Time Machine YT video I made. Some new visitors to The Open Scroll have arrived through that work with their eyes open. Here's an mp3 we made from a recent Paul Begley interview that has been popular on YT. Thanks, everyone who brought this to our attention. I can't vet what “Mike From Around the World” is saying, but given what the Lord has revealed to Aaron and myself, there is value in considering what he has to say because it's not implausible.
Paul Begley interviews “Mike From Around the World” on the subject of CERN's LHC and the influence of dark matterOn to other business. Some long term readers of The Open Scroll have recently abandoned it entirely, or have gone into a detached lurker mode of one kind or another. My entire income is limited to what comes in through the PayPal donate button, and I can tell you that the sole regular sponsor of this work seems to have abandoned us. The last donation I received from anyone was on the 24th of March. Yet, since the level of gross income here has only ever been less than what some of you spend maintaining your pets, the impact of the cessation on my subsistence is pretty minimal. While scoffers and mockers are probably laughing with glee at that honest confession, some of you may find that candid report shocking and appalling. When my own resources ran out, Aaron's family generously took me in, and this has been the Lord's provision for the last few years. The Lord has been most kind to me and I have lacked nothing of all I have needed.
So, why haven't I just taken a clue, as some would advise, and given up on this seemingly fruitless venture, returning to my lucrative profession as a web developer after leaving at the peak of my career? I've had four really tempting opportunities present themselves over the past few years, none of which I sought to find. I chose to accept none of them, because each time I chose rather to abide in this humble position as your servant. I have no other source of income, no other employment. I collect no revenue from ads and do not engage in merchandising or profit in any way from other associations that would surely compromise me with conflicts of interest. High on the list of points of general failings of the saints who profess to aspire to become worthy of the Bridegroom is a matter that this lack of support indicates, that most fundamentally of sincerity of profession, hypocrisy.

17 The elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching. 18 For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox while he is threshing,” and “The laborer is worthy of his wages.” ~ I Timothy 5:17-18
What Paul expressed in 1 Corinthians 9 applies very personally to us, if I am likewise made your servant. Like Paul wrote in verse 15, “I am not writing these things so that it will be done so in my case.” If you have other servants also, and your Master directs you to provide care for them, do so accordingly.

So, let's give the matter of sincerity of profession or hypocrisy some consideration.
To say one thing and do another, that's hypocrisy.
If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. ~ John 14:15
There are many commandments that were given specifically for the saints to walk in, yet how many of us care to actually do so? How we love to profess that we love God, when our deeds testify so loudly to the contrary that no one can hear a word of it above the din. Most of you who are even still reading this post or email have failed to allow the Lord to put the mirror of self-inspection before your face, to show you what you look like in His eyes.

Men and women alike foolishly sit at the feet of the women who teach in the church. I say this to your shame.
But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. ~ 1 Timothy 2:12
Fathers and mothers abide the unruliness of their children, and husbands of their wives, failing to seek and find the Lord's help in using His appointment of authority to His satisfaction. Testimonies of finding His approval in these things and of the reward of entering into the blessings of proper head covering are conspicuously lacking, not entirely, but to a very large degree.
Even yet, there is contentment to abide in these ways, and to profess how much God is loved and honored, but judgment has come for lawlessness and hypocrisy.
3 By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5 but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: 6 the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked. ~ 1 John 2:3-6
Look around you. Does this world look like it's worth following? Is theirs the reward you want to enter into? WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! This may now be our final chance to get our priorities straight, getting right with our Maker. We haven't yet lost the opportunity to fall on that Stone.
And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust. ~ Matthew 21:44

Watching Still, We Consider the Model, Masked
On the morning of Tuesday, April 14, I was led to engage Aaron in a whiteboarding session where we considered the meaning of the masked model insight. Both of us were still suffering under the demands of the penalty levied the day before, which I've written about. I was not eager to do anything of my own initiative or presume that there would be any further service because it was evident that, although we proved faithful and were qualified through the previous round, we had to be requalified for continued service because the standard of the Master's requirements had been raised. The fear of God was upon us like never before. With our attention being turned to the masked model insight, it was the Lord's direction to pretty much pick up where we left off, with more attention being given to the times and seasons.
I had posed the question in the previous post: “Were we wrong about the time?” My answer was: “Yes and no.” The time declared as the appointed time was not wrong. The appointed time came and went, but that doesn't mean that it isn't still future. Right. What sense does that make? None, unless the Lord does something like what He did for Hezekiah, turning back the clock, in a figure.
The value in knowing the time was first in knowing when it would come, and doing what was required for preparation. Then, the value was in that which was learned through diligent watching as it arrived. Now that the time has passed, the value is in grasping why. Those who don't believe that the appointed time really did pass fail to gain the benefit. That's you, if you're still looking toward the fall of this year for a rapture on a Fall Feast Day or for some other scenario to play out.
If you weren't paying very close attention to what has recently been written about the high strangeness of the zig zag time trajectory of Satan's fall, a time mission, an ark of salvation, and the epic hoax, I'll probably lose you at some point because I'm going to draw upon all that and the responsibility is yours to keep up with the pace. The Lord will help, or there is no help.
A span of time is going to be repeated, and what happens in the next version is going to be different. The basis for this is biblical, and, Lord willing, I'll be sharing some of these insights on the blog. This model has even been illustrated very accurately in several films and TV shows. It's the modeling of this repetition that has been elaborately masked in this season. Most specifically, we'll see that it does primarily have to do with the revealing of the lawless one, as indicated in previous posts.
As it stands today, with no revealing of the lawless one and thus no sign for the Bride, there was no interaction that would result in the Romans 11:15 “acceptance” trigger. The time passed. Victory: Satan. But it's not over until it's over - and my God is sovereign.
Here's a diagram of a masked model, fruit of the whiteboarding session I mentioned above.
The Pesah will be repeated. Toward the close of that watch season, I suspected, and hoped, that it would be a small loop, probably going back 10 days from the 22nd to the 13th day of the 1st month as the time mission and ark scenarios played out, but it was not to be. I did not see it coming, but we have been given more grace for preparation, and it is absolutely necessary. The two most obvious questions at this point, I have no answer for: How long before time is reset to the past? How far into the past will it be restarting? I believe the Lord has given us some direction, but he's not yet given us much insight. We still see as through a glass darkly, and the path thus far is involving a lot of hard labor.
Remember the account of Saul's failure in 1 Samuel 13? I referenced it in the post about watching on the 23rd day.
Saul correctly noted that the appointed days had passed, and that Samuel had not shown up as promised. That was no excuse. It was then that he took matters into his own hands. He offered a burnt offering, but it was a major offense, and there was forfeit. Huge forfeit. I see an example here.
In closing, here's another thematic study I just published. I'm going to be referencing this soon, Lord willing.

We pray that you will stay alert and on watch, seeking above all to be found worthy of Him! We thank you for your prayers and kindness! Great reward awaits the faithful!

8 Now he waited seven days, according to the appointed time set by Samuel, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattering from him. 9 So Saul said, “Bring to me the burnt offering and the peace offerings.” And he offered the burnt offering. 10 As soon as he finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him and to greet him. 11 But Samuel said, “What have you done?” And Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the appointed days, and that the Philistines were assembling at Michmash, 12 therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not asked the favor of the Lord.’ So I forced myself and offered the burnt offering.” 13 Samuel said to Saul, “You have acted foolishly; you have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, for now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. 14 But now your kingdom shall not endure. The Lord has sought out for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has appointed him as ruler over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.” ~ 1 Samuel 13:8-14

Still watching on the 28th day!
The Lord is just now returning me back to minister through posting to this blog. This has been a very intense week, and several very important things have been noted.
I have been fielding emails and comments posted to the blog, and for nearly all of them, I have little to report that's very good. There has only been a very small number who have been very rude, mocking and gloating over a perceived victory. We had a sign about Daniel and the lions den and we understood that the Lord was shielding us by stopping the mouths of the lions. A larger number seized upon the perceived opportunity to offer me a range of pet theories about why I failed to predict the time. Those actually began coming in well in advance of the Pesah week. Most of those offering their theories expressed gratitude for the work of The Open Scroll and encouragement to continue, and they were largely offered in sincerity. Most of the response fielded has been with the expression of much gratitude and the extension of mercy, encouraging us to continue. The vast majority of readers didn't weigh in at all. The smallest number who reported in actually indicated that they have a clear sense that what's really going on now is quite special, and that's a very, very small number.
If you read the latest post about “Please accept our apology - Retracting "A Word from the Lord" from November 20, 2014” and interpreted that to be an apology or admission of some other kind, you read into it.
If you emailed us and didn't get a response for a few days, or you watched how many days went by with no posting to the blog, and interpreted that to mean that we were discouraged about a failure to predict the time, you read into it.
At what point did I declare that we failed on some other point, and that we were discouraged as a result? Go look. Obviously, we're still here, and we're not denying or trying to cover or duck anything. I've claimed that I'm not concerned about my perceived credibility or reputation, and that's an honest report. I've been pretty well seasoned on those points. That's the Lord's business, not mine. So, here's the big question: Were we wrong about the time? Yes and no, and that's the thing, right there. Most of you assume we were simply wrong, and if you're content with that, I'm content with that. But that's not all there is to it.
So, are we discouraged? No. Not at all. We've been crushed, but that's not an emotional response to finding ourselves still here after the Pesah. While we were very disappointed, because hope deferred really does make the heart sick (Proverbs 13:12), the crushing has been the result of the Lord's dealing with us very deeply, with correction, discipline. If you haven't personally experienced this yet, and I mean very specifically within the past week, I pray you soon will, because it is a necessary work of this season. And, I do mean, pray. The Lord's dealing with Aaron and myself has been on the basis of some errors made in judgment, which, bottom line, is a reflection of our character. As the Sr. partner in this pairing, I am accountable. What was acceptable in the previous season no longer receives a passing grade. The requirements are much more stringent. After dealing with some personal failings, the next order of business was to unpublish two posts, the one from November 20 and one from the MOB Blog. The Lord made it plain what the problem was and what to do about it. The apology was posted to this blog, as directed. The Lord required a substantial penalty to be paid, and it was agonizing and there was much anguish and many tears. I didn't know if I would endure it or what the outcome might be. Aaron, who is not nearly so well seasoned as myself, is still working through it, and I bear no small amount of responsibility for failing to prepare him better. This is not about airing dirty laundry, but the testimony is for your benefit. While the main theme of the the 24th day of the 1st month (Monday April 13) was the crushing, we wrapped up the day with a season of prayer where Aaron got a touch of glory, where a word was received that we would be returning to ministry, and late at night we had a footwashing ceremony. That was encouraging but I can't say it was comforting, because there was no comfort to be had. There was no relief from the penalty until sometime the next day, but it became apparent that the Lord was satisfied. We survived.
So, we unpublished the November 20 post, and fixed and reposted the one from the MOB blog. What else did the Lord require of us? I had a book offered on Amazon in the Kindle version. I unpublished it and removed links to it from the websites. The problem with it wasn't the content, it was the relationship with Amazon. Regardless of how little money I could arrange to make off the sales, the matter of making any money off the sale, along with having a business relationship with Amazon, was no longer permissible. I can no longer legally offer the Kindle version, or a pdf of the contents. The book was titled, Who is Cain's Father? The controversial work is still available for reading on TheOpenScroll.com. What else did the Lord require? Excluding personal issues, that's pretty much it. I did also remove a few series links off the side bar of the blog because I wanted to review them for possible editing, since we've now got more insight into what's really going on. At some point, Beyond The Veil will get some updates, Lord willing, but first, the blog.
What should be noted is what the Lord did NOT require of us. There has been no direction to unpublish or retract anything else, or offer an apology for anything else. I am willing if the Lord requires it, this I know, and I think that has been adequately demonstrated. The retraction we did publish has been fully exposed on the blog for many days, and no effort has been made to obscure or minimize it.
There have been some pretty outrageous declarations made this month. There's more to be written about all that, and more to be written about what all this means for you. Lord willing.
We admit freely to knowing only in part, as those who have come before us. You may have noticed that I'm generally quite precise with my language, not wanting to come up short or go long of a thing, or be ambiguous when there's something to be declared. The results of my efforts aren't perfection, but the Lord has accepted my efforts and blessed them with much mercy and grace. He Has a plan and He's working it to perfection.
I have been fielding emails and comments posted to the blog, and for nearly all of them, I have little to report that's very good. There has only been a very small number who have been very rude, mocking and gloating over a perceived victory. We had a sign about Daniel and the lions den and we understood that the Lord was shielding us by stopping the mouths of the lions. A larger number seized upon the perceived opportunity to offer me a range of pet theories about why I failed to predict the time. Those actually began coming in well in advance of the Pesah week. Most of those offering their theories expressed gratitude for the work of The Open Scroll and encouragement to continue, and they were largely offered in sincerity. Most of the response fielded has been with the expression of much gratitude and the extension of mercy, encouraging us to continue. The vast majority of readers didn't weigh in at all. The smallest number who reported in actually indicated that they have a clear sense that what's really going on now is quite special, and that's a very, very small number.
If you read the latest post about “Please accept our apology - Retracting "A Word from the Lord" from November 20, 2014” and interpreted that to be an apology or admission of some other kind, you read into it.
If you emailed us and didn't get a response for a few days, or you watched how many days went by with no posting to the blog, and interpreted that to mean that we were discouraged about a failure to predict the time, you read into it.
At what point did I declare that we failed on some other point, and that we were discouraged as a result? Go look. Obviously, we're still here, and we're not denying or trying to cover or duck anything. I've claimed that I'm not concerned about my perceived credibility or reputation, and that's an honest report. I've been pretty well seasoned on those points. That's the Lord's business, not mine. So, here's the big question: Were we wrong about the time? Yes and no, and that's the thing, right there. Most of you assume we were simply wrong, and if you're content with that, I'm content with that. But that's not all there is to it.
So, are we discouraged? No. Not at all. We've been crushed, but that's not an emotional response to finding ourselves still here after the Pesah. While we were very disappointed, because hope deferred really does make the heart sick (Proverbs 13:12), the crushing has been the result of the Lord's dealing with us very deeply, with correction, discipline. If you haven't personally experienced this yet, and I mean very specifically within the past week, I pray you soon will, because it is a necessary work of this season. And, I do mean, pray. The Lord's dealing with Aaron and myself has been on the basis of some errors made in judgment, which, bottom line, is a reflection of our character.

Please accept our apology - Retracting "A Word from the Lord" from November 20, 2014
The Lord had a dealing with us this morning. We had published a claimed “Word from the Lord” back in November that was impure. We acknowledge our failure in that. We accept whatever penalty is due. We offer no excuse. Aaron and I seek your forgiveness.
This is the post we took offline, from November 20.
The fleshy word was not a fit word for the season. For clarity on where it fails, the passing of the time for decision was not the last instance of such an accounting in the season, which was clearly implied in the language used. While the declaration applied for that round, to imply that it was the final season for Bride qualification was wrong. We have had at least two more qualification rounds since the one that the false testimony was referencing. Each round has brought a fresh expectation for those whom the Lord qualified. We are bringing forth this apology and retraction because, although we found ourselves qualified to be in this unexpected new round, we failed to meet the Lord's standard for this present season. We should have discerned the false word and not published it. We had waited a few days after Aaron brought it forth before I decided to publish it, but I erred in judgment in accepting for confirmation what was actually no confirmation at all. I was willing to be deceived, and so I was. The Lord requires more of me. I won't attempt to make light of this error. It weighs heavily on both Aaron and myself. We are grieved over what harm has been done by our failure.

“Tell My people that the time for their decision has passed. Those who have forsaken all else and chosen Me and My ways shall stand in the days ahead. Woe to those who have chosen to place their faith and trust in the flesh, for they shall be consumed in the fire of judgment.
The time of this season has nearly passed, and soon the days of power and glory of those who are truly Mine shall begin. Keep your eyes and heart focused upon Me and My ways, and I shall pour out My love and joy into your spirit. My provision will be sufficient, and I shall not fail.
Continue to press in and seek Me for all that you need in the short time that remains. Steel your hearts and minds and do not fear, for I am with you and shall be until the end.
Thus saith the Lord. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has spoken. ”
