"Beyond the Veil" Updated - Plus Fresh Revelation Forthcoming - and - New Day, Month and Year!

For years, I've had the updating of the Beyond the Veil collection in my queue of side projects. I've made some effort in recent years without it bearing much fruit, but finally, in this remarkable season of finality and closure, the Lord has made the provision. Most of it is untouched, but some key insights have been added.

I recommend, at the least, becoming familiar with these two pages:

Beyond The Veil
A Glimpse of the Lord's Appointment Book

While that content is very fresh, it doesn't represent what we have just begun to see in a brighter light, which shines upon what lies just ahead. The ongoing work of chronicling has been paused while the Lord continues this other work with Aaron and I, preparing for what's coming in the 1st month of the year. We have been engaged by the Lord in compelling ways that bring us to the kind of assurance we need, to be able to publish a word like the one Aaron just published without thinking that we've joined the ranks of the nutters, and to move forward with an acceptance of the revelation received that establishes the context.

Before sharing more about that, which has sprung from another key revelation insight about Matthew 24:22, let me give you some collateral insight for a foundation. Most of us are familiar with how time is sometimes compared to a river. If you search this blog for river of time you'll find some posts of interest.

The following excerpt is one example that is particularly relevant. (From Part 23 - Celestial Stargates)

“This is where the symbol of the river of time factors in because the Adversary's plot intends to exploit time to win the ultimate victory. “Throw the basket in the river and drown him,” in the river of time.

The flying monkey sets the basket containing Toto on the pillar right behind the hourglass. The hourglass is a symbol of time itself, and the sands of time are as the river of time, flowing evenly from the future through the present and into the past. The basket is behind the hourglass, which is to say that the hourglass is superimposed over the basket. They are linked, one with the other. We don't see the dog, we see the basket. “Throw that basket in the river,” the river of time. The basket represents some kind of containment. As set upon the pillar, the stargate mechanism is in view. ”

We had light that was bright enough for then, but we've been upgraded for the present work. A higher security clearance has been granted into the secrets. Rivers and other bodies of water and containers are used as a metaphor for time in esoteric works, in Occult works and also in the Bible. As a brief, I'm going to introduce you to 2 chapters of note where this is the case - and which are about to be fulfilled. For some of you, this may already be familiar territory, but the Lord has reserved this presentation for today.

5 Then I, Daniel, looked and behold, two others were standing, one on this bank of the river and the other on that bank of the river. 6 And one said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be until the end of these wonders?” 7 I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed. ~ Daniel 12:5-7

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 referencial 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. Consider the symbolism of the context, with the answer being given in response to the question prompted by the one who stood on one bank.

The other chapter is also numbered 12 in series, in the book of Revelation.

13 And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. 14 But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon poured out of his mouth. ~ Revelation 12:13-16

The water represents time. Again, we find a reference to “time and times and half a time.” There are transits between dimensional compartments pictured, and one appointed for protection is distinct from our familiar time-space frame of reference. The wars in heaven are star wars, angel wars, fought in heavenly realms over stargates opened through time-space.

From the heavens the stars fought, from their courses (mecillah - kindgom viaduct - stargate) they fought against Sisera. ~ Judges 5:20

The context of the the passages in Daniel 12 and Revelation 12 matches that of Matthew 24, around verse 22. We're talking about Pesah, 2015.

This post brings the count of posts to 1200. That's 12 x 100. It's posted on 3/21. The numbers 12 and 21 are both time numbers, and one is a mirror of the other. The post is about: TIME. Again, there's been no intent or manipulation on my part to produce this feature. It's just an observation of facts and truths, and characteristic of the past week in particular. The Lord is bringing closure to the season, in so many ways.

As I publish this, I just got word that Karaites have reported sighting the new moon. It is the first day of the first month! Both signs of the maturing Bride have been witnessed!

From Nehemia Gordon's Facebook page:

“The New Moon of the Aviv from the Eilat Mountains in southern Israel on March 21, 2015. The moon was sighted from this location by Nehemia Gordon at 5:53pm and by Tim Arndt at 6:01pm. The sky over the Eilat Mountains was perfectly clear. The moon was still clearly visible to both observers from the Eilat Mountains at 6:50 pm.”

The 13th day of the month will begin at sunset on April 2nd. Is there an epic April Fools Day coming?

A Word and Vision from the Lord (through Aaron Hermann)

I was struck with a terrible feeling of fear and panic, and then I had a vision.

I saw a man in a black button shirt. He had a casual look about him as the shirt was worn casually tucked in with an open collar. He was wearing a kippah and sunglasses. He was standing over some kind of overlook platform like you see at the side of the road near parks and such. He was leaning on the railing looking outward. He turned his head and looked at me and then we both looked outward. It was overlooking a great valley that appeared to be desert type landscape. It was a valley for certain.

I looked to the right and saw a large mountain. I had the sense it was Mt. Hermon.

The vision shifted and I saw what seemed like a great cloud of dust. I was somewhere else, in the cloud of dust it looked like large tanks and military transport trucks were being moved around. Then I saw a soldier in a Jeep and I asked him, "What is happening?"

He was in the drivers seat in an open Jeep and was facing me. He lifted his left arm and pointed to the sky to my right. I knew without looking that he was pointing to UFO's. I had the sense there were three or four large objects in the sky. The feeling of fear and panic was overwhelming.

The vision ended, and I was terribly shaken and I asked the Lord what was happening. Why was I having this terrible feeling?

He spoke to me and said, "The invasion is imminent. The fear and panic will be more than anyone will be able to bear through their own agency. I have assured it. Only those with My protection will be able to endure. The fear and panic will cause them to cry out for a savior to make it stop, to save them from the terror and terrible panic that is seizing upon them."

I sat for a bit and then another word came forth.

"The invasion is imminent. These are the days you have proclaimed them to be. Only those sealed in My protection will escape. All else shall fall prey to the Great Deception I have spoken of in My word. Since the beginning of time no such thing has occurred, nor shall ever occur again."

Thus saith the Lord.

The Lord spoke one final word to me before this season ended.

"It is for judgment's sake that these things must occur."

Friday: Solar eclipse, Supermoon, Spring equinox - Rare - and a sign

We have been promised signs in the heavens, and this is one.

Solar eclipse, Supermoon, Spring equinox: Friday will see three rare celestial events

From one perspective, this biblical age has never seen a vernal equinox solar eclipse quite like this one. Similar ones have only rarely been seen. Our research indicates that two of note occurred in connection with significant events with Nimrod. In another season, that might get more ink, but our attention is elsewhere.

This rare solar eclipse comes at the end of the 12th month on the Lord's calendar. With the barley found to be aviv, the coming month is going to be the 1st. We'll soon know for sure about the start day, but my best guess at this point is that the 3rd lunar eclipse of the highly publicized blood moon tetrad will come on the 14th day of the 1st month. Our expectation is that the upcoming 13th day is going to be very, very special, and that the prelude itself will be epic.

We have much more to report on what's been going on, Lord willing. This is an extraordinary season! The Lord is faithful, Who has promised!

The Aviv Report! The Barley is mature!

The Karaite-Korner report: Aviv Barley Found - Hebrew year to begin with new moon on March 21, 2015

I wouldn't declare the very day, until the time of the official sighting arrives, but the next new moon will begin the 1st month! Bride candidates - this is awesome news! The timing of this report's arrival is amazing. What an amazing season this is!

CERN's Lord of the Dance

Update: Also see this more recent post (Urgent - Insight into CERN's Time Machine) that features this video: Urgent - Insight into CERN's Time Machine

The LHC supercollider is expected to be operating at record breaking energy levels any day now, amid much speculation about the potential for opening a wormhole/stargate. Reports of entities appearing during the last round of tests add to possible connections with earthquakes, and interviews given by physicists involved with the projects do nothing to soothe the mind. Neither does the video production made for the launch. (Thanks John)

Bizarre ‘Dance Of Destruction’ Performed At CERN Ahead Of Launch

The circle on the salt flat is the image of a magic circle. Info turned up in a web search for the use of salt in magic circle will make it obvious. (The usual caveat applies - get the Lord's permission before visiting sites.)

The skin color of the black performer is being used as the symbol for evil, representing the demons the circle provides protection from. When the purpose for casting a magic circle involves a spell, energy is raised inside the circle (bubble) and then is sent out (cast) into the universe at the opportune moment.

CERN's LHC has to do with CERNunnos, the god invoked in many spells. (See December 21 Celebrates the Birth of CERNunnos)

The hand is as the Horus hand or the hand of Isis, the black madonna, and the fingers 3 and 4 on the physicist's ear signs the production of Horus through the union of Osiris and Isis.

The town where the LHC complex is situated is Saint Genis Pouilly. In Roman times it was apparently called Apolliacum. The town and a temple were dedicated to Apollyon - the destroyer. aka Shiva, aka Horus.

I see the image of the concentric circles as the representation of the dispersion of subatomic particles at a high energy proton collision. It's attended by a ringing sound and then by thunder. Ringing: Bells facilitate dimensional transit. Thunder: Satan falls like lightning. The image of the collision presents the ancient XO or circle Cross Mark of the Beast symbol. OTO doctrine declares that the union of the X and O produces the flash of lightning from the Abyss to establish the throne of Isis. The time-space portal is opened and the figure of a man transits through from another dimension.

Horus!



One man's interpretation is in this For more that is of interest, see Wikipedia's, CERN - In popular culture.

Understanding something of cosmology, history and the significance of the idol of Shiva doing the Dance of the Nateraj provides more insight into what the LHC is about.

Brief video illustrating the idol Shiva, Lord of the Dance

The first atomic bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945, in the Trinity test in New Mexico. Afterward, physicist and director of the Manhattan Project J. Robert Oppenheimer famously remarked how it brought to mind: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." He had learned Sanskrit in 1933 and read the Bhagavad Gita in the original form. He citied it later as one of the most influential books to shape his philosophy of life. The quote was from verse 32 of chapter 11 of the Bhagavad Gita.

The following excerpt is copied from, Cosmic Dance of Lord Shiva. (Written and also arranged from various manuscripts and articles by Philippe L. De Coster, B.Th., D.D. - Gita Society of Belgium Branch of International Gita Society (IGS/USA) © 2001-2012)

These iconographic details of Nataraja are to be read, according to the Hindu tradition, in terms of a complex pictorial allegory. The most common figures depict a four-armed Shiva. These multiple arms represent the four cardinal directions. Each hand either holds an object or makes a specific mudra (gesture).

The upper right hand holds a hour-glass drum which is a symbol of creation. It is beating the pulse of the universe. The drum also provides the music that accompanies Shivas dance. It represents sound as the first element in an unfolding universe, for sound is the first and most pervasive of the elements. The story goes that when Shiva granted the boon of wisdom to the ignorant Panini (the great Sanskrit grammarian), the sound of the drum encapsulated the whole of Sanskrit grammar. The first verse of Paninis grammar is in fact called Shiva sutra.

The hour-glass drum also represents the male and female vital principles; two triangles penetrate each other to form a hexagon. When they part, the universe also dissolves. The opposite hand, the upper left, bears on its palm a tongue of flames. Fire is the element of destruction of the world. According to Hindu mythology at the end of the world, it will be fire that will be the instrument of annihilation. Thus in the balance of these two hands is illustrated a counterpoise of creation and destruction. Sound against flames, ceaselessness of production against an insatiate appetite of extermination.

The second right hand is held in the abhaya (literally "without fear") pose and so a gesture of protection, as an open palm is most likely to be interpreted. It depicts the god as a protector.

The left leg is raised towards the right leg and reaches across it; the lower left hand is stretched across the body and points to the upraised left foot which represents release from the cycle of birth and death. Interestingly, the hand pointing to the uplifted foot is held in a pose imitative of the outstretched trunk of an elephant. In Sanskrit this is known as the gaja-hasta-mudra (the posture of the elephant trunk), and is symbolic of Ganesha, Shivas son, the Remover of obstacles.

Shiva dances on the body of a dwarf apasmara-purusha (the man of forgetfulness) who embodies indifference, ignorance and laziness. Creation, indeed all creative energy is possible only when the weight of inertia (the tamasic darkness of the universe) is overcome and suppressed. The Nataraja image thus addresses each individual to overcome complacency and get his or her own act together.

The ring of fire and light, which circumscribes the entire image, identifies the field of the dance with the entire universe. The lotus pedestal on which the image rests locates this universe in the heart or consciousness of each person.

The Nataraja image is also eloquent of the paradox of Eternity and Time. It shows us that the reposeful ocean and the racing stream are not finally distinct. This wonderful lesson can be read in the significant contrast of the incessant, triumphant motion of the swaying limbs to the balance of the and the immobility of the mask-like countenance. Shiva is Kala, meaning time, but he is also Maha Kala, meaning Great Time or eternity. As Nataraja, King of dancers, his gestures, wild and full of grace, precipitate the cosmic illusion; his flying arms and legs and the swaying of his torso produce the continuous creation- destruction of the universe, death exactly balancing birth. The choreography is the whirligig of time. History and its ruins, the explosion of suns, are flashes from the tireless swinging sequence of the gestures. In the beautiful cast metal figurines, not merely a single phase or movement, but the entirety of this cosmic dance is miraculously rendered. The cyclic rhythm, flowing on and on in the unstayable, irreversible round of the Mahayugas, or Great Eons, is marked by the beating and stamping of the Masters heels. But the face remains, meanwhile in sovereign calm.

Steeped in quietude, the enigmatic mask resides above the whirl of the four resilient arms and cares nothing forthe superb legs as they beat out the tempo of the world ages. Aloof, in sovereign silence, the mask of gods eternal essence remains unaffected by the tremendous display of his own energy, the world and its progress, the flow and the changes of time. This head, this face, this mask, abides in transcendental isolation, as a spectator unconcerned. Its smile, bent inward, filled with the bliss of self-absorption, subtly refutes, with a scarcely hidden irony, the meaningful gestures of the feet and hands. A tension exists between the marvel of the dance and the serene tranquillity of this expressively inexpressive countenance, the tension, that is to say, of Eternity and Time. The two, invisible and visible, are quintessentially the same. Man with all the fibers of his native personality clings to the duality; nevertheless, actually and finally, there is no duality.

The Keystone Pattern - Three Things Then the Fourth

(This post is from a page I just added to the “Beyond The Veil” collection on TheOpenScroll.com. The core content of the new page has been extracted from the blog series about numbering our days aright. It represents closure.)

For many years, I had been seeking to understand the meaning of the celestial sign of 1991. I understood well enough how that remarkable celestial event had signaled the Lord's coming in judgment. I understood how it established a certain date on the Lord's calendar as a hard reference point. I also knew that certain key events were identified to me as occurring within the context of a single week of years, a target Shemitah. What I didn't understand was when that week would come. It was obvious enough that it was established on His calendar in relation to the celestial sign, but what was the relationship, the number of years or Shemitah cycles between them? That relationship or connecting link is a kind of keystone, and it was not until 2008 that it was finally revealed to me; nearly 17 years after I learned about the anchoring celestial sign.

As many precious insights have been, it was conveyed to me as a pattern through a passage of scripture.

Here's the verse that triggered the insight in 2008. The Lord was in the upper room addressing Peter at his last supper with his disciples.

Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times. ~ John 13:38

It was a sign for Peter, and also for the people he modeled, upon whom the end of the age has now come. Given the context in which I received the revelation insight, the message was obvious. I knew instantly that this was the insight I had sought for almost 17 years.

Peter's three denials in sequence represent the failing of the church to pass the tests in the three Shemitah that followed the sign of 1991. In the fourth Shemitah, there would be no more denying the Lord! The rooster would then crow! In the context, of which I was made astutely aware, I knew the rooster crowing represented the voice and trumpet call that triggers or announces the Lord's harvest of the dead and living in Christ.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:17

in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. ~ 1 Corinthians 15:52

Like the rooster that heralds the dawn of a new day with crowing, the archangel will herald the ingathering of saints. When will that be? After three denials, which represent instances of accounting within their seasons. Why did I relate this to the sign of 1991 and the Shemitah that followed? It was an unavoidable conclusion.

It was April 9, 2008, which was, on the Lord's calendar, the 13th day of the first month: The watch day for the sign to the Bride. It was more than just an annual watch day because it was in the 3rd year of a Shemitah, the one year in seven that is when the revealing of the lawless one should be expected. I had been waiting seven long years for this day to come, ever since 2001 when the previous watch day brought such disappointment. My hopes were high that the sign would be witnessed, because that meant the Bride Theft would follow shortly after, on the 21st day, and the Lord would receive His beloved Bride.

The Pope (Benedict XVI, who had been born and baptized on the same day, which was the 13th day of the 1st month) had been visiting the US, making public appearances in Washington DC and NYC. He was scheduled to end his visit with a departure on that very day. I had been monitoring the news reports during his visit, with my attention focused once more on Bill Clinton's activity, just like how the Lord had directed my attention in the previous Shemitah. He was stumping for Hillary, working the campaign trail and moving east all the while. The trail looked like Bill might have been going to meet with the Pope just prior to his departure. Would there be a baptism? It was quite a tease!

Was I consumed with monitoring the news on the watch day? Not at all! I was quite notably insulated, intensely focused on a very engaging study of John 13. While that undertaking hadn't been very high on my list of pending projects, the Lord prompted me to occupy myself with that, and so I did. I used the Chiasmatron 2000 tool I built to help analyze the thematic structure, and the Lord prospered the effort to such a degree that I completed it satisfactorily in a single day. (John 13 - An interactive presentation of its thematic structure ) That was remarkable productivity. It was perhaps in the twilight hour that I came to give my attention to the close of the chapter. I had scanned the news and there was no report about Bill being baptized by the Pope, and no sense of such a thing from the spirit of God. As I came to verse 38, the Lord broke the news about why not.

Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times. ~ John 13:38

It was heavy. I had been hopeful, but it had long been weighing on me that I had never yet received revelation insight about which Shemitah would be the one appointed for fulfillment, and I had a sense that we just weren't ready to welcome the Bridegroom. With the revelation of the piece of the puzzle I had been missing, it would seem to be cause for rejoicing, but it was completely overshadowed, tempered by the sobering awareness that there would be 7 more years to the finish, and those, frought with trials. I knew the trials were necessary, that this season was a witness to the Lord's mercy and grace because we needed it to be made ready. Yet, we would be ready!

After a while, various kinds of confirmation began to come from secondary witnesses. I found evidence that the Adversary knew what time it was. He knew about the celestial sign, and the patttern of Peter's denials, and he was blabbing all over the public media about it in the language of Occult symbolism. The keystone pattern is embedded in the scriptures, and these begain to bear witness to me. Eventually, Aaron Herman gave it his attention and he began to root these out.

We've discovered quite an impressive collection of these prophetic passages that proclaim the keystone pattern! These speak so loudly to us!

Luke 8 - The Parable of the Soils

The first example comes from the gospels, a parable that has had a very instrumental role for me. It's called the parable of the sower and the seed but is perhaps better called the parable of the soils. The version from Luke 8 is featured in the study titled, Keys to Developing a Hearing Ear - Part I: The Key Parable. It really is a key parable!

5 “The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell beside the road, and it was trampled under foot and the birds of the air ate it up. 6 Other seed fell on rocky soil, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. 7 Other seed fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it out. 8 Other seed fell into the good soil, and grew up, and produced a crop a hundred times as great.” ~ Luke 8:5-8

Three situations are described where the seed was sown but no crop resulted. With the fourth came a great crop!

Another level of insight is provided as versions of this parable appear in Matthew 13, Mark 4 and Luke 8, but not in the fourth Gospel of John, which seems to imply that this lesson is no longer necessary in the fourth season because it has been learned.

Jerusalem's Altar of Sacrifice - Timely News

Prophetic passages about this present Shemitah, like Malachi 3:1 and Daniel 9:27, make this a relevant and timely announcement.

The Jewish Altar Has Been Rebuilt And Is Ready To Begin Service

“The Temple Institute in Jerusalem has announced that it has finished building an altar suitable for the Temple service. The altar, which took several years to build, can be operational at little more than a moment’s notice, reported Matzav Haruach magazine. ”

“What makes the altar so unique is that it can be disassembled and reassembled easily, allowing it to be transported quickly and efficiently from its current location, on display at the institute, to the Temple Mount when the time comes. It was inaugurated in December 2014 and is now ready for use. With Passover around the corner, and the Passover sacrifice a central component of the traditional celebration, perhaps that time will come soon!”

Passages like the following may well have multiple instances of fulfillment on multiple levels.

12 I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. ~ Revelation 6:12-13

We wonder if there might be a great earthquake coming soon. There is coming a solar eclipse (March 20 - the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair) that will be followed by a lunar eclipse (April 4 - the whole moon became like blood). The potential cause of the darkening of the sun and the making of the moon to appear like blood might be from ash or soot or dust in the atmosphere. In connection with the lunar eclipse, we expect the lawless one to be revealed as the spiritual entity identified with Horus transmits through a stargate. A great wind may be interpreted as a great Spirit or motion of spirit, and stars are angels, which would be cast to the earth. Could CERN bring the LHC online in the next week or so and cause an earthquake? Could cascading events produce the casting of star-angels to earth as shaken by a great wind-Spirit?

The Barley Report and Signs of the Times

The latest report from the Karaites is that, despite snow and hail, the barley crop in Israel is doing well.

Karaite Nehemia's Wall: Pre-Aviv in the Jordan Valley Feb 27, 2015

When the official search is made (in less than 2 weeks), a solar eclipse will occur. That celestial event is nested inside the expected blood moon tetrad. It is likely that the barley will be aviv and that the first month of the new sacred / agricultural year will begin with the sighting of the crescent moon.

The determination of the status of the barley and new moon is a prophetic modeling. We rejoice, expecting that these profound models are about to be fulfilled in the Bride of Christ, as she is about to come to full maturity and be presented to her Bridegroom during The Feast at the appointed time!

Veteran NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon has announced that 2015 will be his final full-time season. Gordon has piloted car #24 since he began in November of 1992. The media coverage for the series has been giving him tribute, because of his level of achievement. Many drivers change teams and car numbers several times in their career, but not Jeff. He is strongly identified with #24. When I see the tribute given to 24 during 2015, it speaks to me of our time on the Lord's calendar.

In his first race in NASCAR's premiere Cup Series, Jeff Gordon finished 21st, which is the time number. I think that was prophetic. In the count of years from the celestial sign of the Lord's coming in judgment, we have entered the 24th year, the 3rd year of the 4th Shemitah. It's the year appointed for major transition, including the revealing of the lawless one and two harvests of the church. I see tribute being given through Jeff Gordon's NASCAR identity to the emergence of the Antichrist - this year.

Jeff's primary sponsor over the years has been Dupont. If you're familiar with Illuminati family names, that's one of note. He's currently sponsored by 3M, which I've written about on the blog with regard to their Occult brand imagery.

When I think about how there are 28 years in these 4 Shemitah, and that the 24th is the number of the notable pivot, the book of Matthew comes to mind. There are 28 chapters in total, and the one numbered 24 contains the most famous prophetic text of our time. The 24th verse reads:

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 24:24

Time signs from the Bible are also speaking loudly to Aaron and I.

If you number the verses in the Bible consecutively and correlate them with the calendar in use by Rabbinical Judaism, there's a notable correspondence. Here are the seven verses that represent Shemitah #860, the years 2012-2019.

14 Curds of cows, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, And rams, the breed of Bashan, and goats, With the finest of the wheat— And of the blood of grapes you drank wine.
15 “But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked— You are grown fat, thick, and sleek— Then he forsook God who made him, And scorned the Rock of his salvation.
16 “They made Him jealous with strange gods; With abominations they provoked Him to anger.
17 “They sacrificed to demons who were not God, To gods whom they have not known, New gods who came lately, Whom your fathers did not dread.
18 “You neglected the Rock who begot you, And forgot the God who gave you birth.
19 “The Lord saw this, and spurned them Because of the provocation of His sons and daughters.
20 “Then He said, ‘I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a perverse generation, Sons in whom is no faithfulness. ~ Deuteronomy 32:14-20

Verse 16 is #5775, the one for this year. “They made Him jealous with strange gods; With abominations they provoked Him to anger.” Does this describe the welcome given to the Antichrist at his revealing? Who are these alien or new gods who came lately, whom your fathers did not dread?

The verses of the Masoretic texts are numbered differently. According to this accounting, which is perhaps even more valid, the following verses represent Shemitah #860.

20 “Then He said, ‘I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a perverse generation, Sons in whom is no faithfulness.
21 ‘They have made Me jealous with what is not God; They have provoked Me to anger with their idols. So I will make them jealous with those who are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation,
22 For a fire is kindled in My anger, And burns to the lowest part of Sheol, And consumes the earth with its yield, And sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 ‘I will heap misfortunes on them; I will use My arrows on them.
24 ‘They will be wasted by famine, and consumed by plague And bitter destruction; And the teeth of beasts I will send upon them, With the venom of crawling things of the dust.
25 ‘Outside the sword will bereave, And inside terror— Both young man and virgin, The nursling with the man of gray hair.
26 ‘I would have said, “I will cut them to pieces, I will remove the memory of them from men,” ~ Deuteronomy 32:20-26

Verse 22 is #5775, the one for this year. “For a fire is kindled in My anger, And burns to the lowest part of Sheol, And consumes the earth with its yield, And sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.” We expect this is the year that will begin megas thlipsis, Great Tribulation. This verse is about judgment and it has multi- + trans- dimensional language. Is CERN's LHC going to have a role in that?

We see shadows of Romans 11 and many other prophetic scriptures in those significantly numbered passages. For more insight, give consideration to the further context of those passages.

While most saints dismiss the very notion of prophetic content being embedded in the scriptures, and others wrangle and twist what they find as they explore them in ignorance, the Lord is faithful to His promises that the wise would understand when such as this would be unsealed.

Are you familiar with these studies?

Anchor Points on the Lord's Schedule
The Bible's Divisions Speak About Time (See: The Torah Timepiece)
The Year of His Coming: 1991 - Part II (See: Calling Heaven and Earth to Testify Against Them - Deuteronomy 31:28)

A sound precident has been established as a basis for the calendar correspondence.

1947-48: year 5708 * The Masoretic verse numbered 5708 is Deuteronomy 30:5
1990-91: year 5751 * The Masoretic verse numbered 5751 is Deuteronomy 31:28
2014-15: year 5775 * The Masoretic verse numbered 5775 is Deuteronomy 32:22

Do you know what happened in the year 5708, on May 14, 1948? The State of Israel was declared, and miraculously endured its first trial. Here's the matching Masoretic verse.

The Lord your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers. ~ Deuteronomy 30:5

The “Hidden Prophecies in the Psalms” picture the history of 1948 in the corresponding division, Psalm 48.

The celestial sign of the Lord's return in Judgment came in 1991. The “Hidden Prophecies in the Psalms” picture the history of 1991 in the corresponding division, Psalm 91, which focused on the Gulf War but also featured the celestial sign. The Masoretic verse that corresponds to that year 5751 is Deuteronomy 31:28. The celestial sign came as the year 5751 transitioned into the next.

Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak these words in their hearing and call the heavens and the earth to witness against them. 29 For I know that after my death you will act corruptly and turn from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days, for you will do that which is evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him to anger with the work of your hands.” ~ Deuteronomy 31:28-29

Is that speaking to you?

Counting further, the “Hidden Prophecies in the Psalms” picture the history of 2015 in the corresponding division, Psalm 115. Of course, most of the history is yet future to us, as I write this post.

17 The dead do not praise the Lord, Nor do any who go down into silence; 18 But as for us, we will bless the Lord From this time forth and forever. Praise the Lord! ~ Psalm 115:17-18

The dead do not praise the Lord, but those who are raised from out of that silence do, who are raised to eternal life! When?

And again, the Masoretic verse that corresponds to this year 5775 is Deuteronomy 32:22.

21 ‘They have made Me jealous with what is not God; They have provoked Me to anger with their idols. So I will make them jealous with those who are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation,
22 For a fire is kindled in My anger, And burns to the lowest part of Sheol, And consumes the earth with its yield, And sets on fire the foundations of the mountains. ~ Deuteronomy 32:21-22

Who will be welcomed and received by the vast majority of the world's 7 billion? At his revealing, the lawless one will, the Antichrist, the fraudulent substitute messiah.

Do you recall the controversy that stirred when former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon died, about a year ago?

Ariel Sharon's Death Sparks Prophecy Bombshell (WND)

“When Sharon was still in office, vibrant and in command of his faculties, a venerated rabbi, who claimed he had met the Messiah, predicted the Messiah would not come until after Sharon’s death.

Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri died shortly after Sharon suffered a stroke that left him comatose in 2006. But before the beloved Kaduri died, he wrote a cryptic note in which he named the Messiah with whom he claimed to have had a mystical encounter. On the 108-year-old rabbi’s instructions, the note was to be released a year after his death.

When the sealed note was opened a year later, it was posted on Kaduri’s website. Kaduri had revealed the Messiah’s name as Yehoshua, or the formal Hebrew pronunciation of Yeshua or Jesus.”

Rabbi Kaduri was, of course, correct about the name of the Messiah. Ariel Sharon was in a coma from 2006 until he died in January of 2014, and Kaduri was right again, because the Messiah did not come before Ariel Sharon died. Sharon's death was a sign. Now the Messiah Yehoshua may come. The next claimant will not be the genuine, however, because an impostor must come first. Kaduri's sign is not unlike the sign for the Bride, which involves the coming of the impostor. 2 Thessalonians 2. Something will not happen until something else happens first, then the other thing will happen.

Do you know where we are on the Lord's calendar?

35 “Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit. 36 Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks. 37 Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them. 38 Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves. 39 “But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 40 You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect.” 41 Peter said, “Lord, are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?” 42 And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time? 43 Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes. 44 Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But if that slave says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and begins to beat the slaves, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk; 46 the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers. 47 And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes, 48 but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more. 49 “I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished! 51 Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; 52 for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” 54 And He was also saying to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it turns out. 55 And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, ‘It will be a hot day,’ and it turns out that way. 56 You hypocrites! You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not analyze this present time? ~ Luke 12:35-56

Here's what we know about Magic Leap so far - “When asked on Reddit how he'd describe Magic Leap to someone who had never heard of it, Abovitz gave an answer that'll only confuse you more. "You can think of us as techno-biology," he replied. "We believe it is the future of computing." Techno-biology, he explained, "is the proper application of technology to our biology that leads to the experience of magic."”

Be the Shulammite

When the Bridegroom Thief comes to steal His Bride, most of the church will be unaware, but not the Bride. If the Lord is wooing you, rejoice in that and receive all He has for you!

1 Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. 2 For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. 3 While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3

Many are they who know that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night, without yet even grasping that the Lord is that thief who will steal only the most precious of His saints from out of His own house. Few are they who truly don't need to be written to about times and the epochs, who rightly understand that coming like a thief in the context. The language of the passage is laden with insight. There is more depth to the allegorical comparison about the thief in the night than what appears on the surface. There is likewise more depth to the allegorical comparison about the labor pains that come suddenly upon a woman with child.

If you don't have the context in mind, perhaps a reading of chapter 4 is called for.

The way of a thief is to come without warning. Most saints who know the Bridegroom is coming are like a pregnant woman. The time frame when a woman will go into labor is usually known well in advance. Much of life's activity is planned and scheduled with the due date in mind. When she nears full term, it is anticipated that she may go into labor at any moment. So it is for the saints who know well that the coming of the Lord is impending. While a pregnant woman might come to have a strong sense that she may be about to go into labor, she never really knows when that will be. Labor pains arrive suddenly without warning. That it arrives is no surprise. The season when it comes is not usually a surprise. What is always a surprise is the moment when it finally comes. That is the way of a thief, who comes without warning.

Many have been taught that no one will know when the Bridegroom comes - and many of you still accept that it will be so. After all, no one knows when a thief comes, and a pregnant woman never knows when labor comes, right? That's all that can be seen in the darkness, when the Lord has not truly opened your eyes and shined His light, but that's not all there is to the matter!

Paul's message, given by revelation from Jesus Christ, Y'shua haMashiach, continues.

But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:4

If the time of arrival cannot be known in advance, this message of verse 4 makes no sense. There is a contrast being set forth, one which can and should be taken as a warning. What the coming of a thief and labor pain have in common is the surprise factor. For those who are in darkness, the day will overtake them without advance knowledge of the time. Did you get that yet? Take stock of it. But yet, that's not how it's going to be for everyone, because not all will be in darkness, asleep and drunk, anesthetized and blinded to the reality of their plight. There will be sons of light and sons of day. Again, verse 4.

But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:4

Some won't need to be written to about times and epochs because they already know when the thief will come, even when the labor pain will begin for those awaiting destruction. This is the only reasonable conclusion that can be drawn from the contrast set forth in the passage. It's not the stuff of genius but of the seeing eye and hearing ear. In your mind, are you still entertaining theories about when the Lord will come? Have you assigned probabilities favoring one over another, still struggling to identify the assumptions made and weighing the conflicting conclusions? There's a clue about how bright your light really is in this late hour. We don't need all the answers, just the right ones.

Those in darkness are about to be destroyed, according to the language of the text. Yet, some will be wide awake and stone-cold sober and seeing as in the bright light of day at the coming of the Bridegroom thief - and saved. (verse 9)

Consider the message the Lord gave His private audience in Matthew 24.

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. ~ Matthew 24:43

The head of the house (oikodespotes) can't know. Those who rely upon their guidance can't know. The oikodespotes must allow the break in because The Thief must steal His valuables out of His own house on the appointed schedule. (The Lord of the Harvest must gather His crops out of His harvest field at the peak of ripeness. Early or late just won't do.) The oikodespotes must not be on the alert, so they cannot know at what time of the night the thief is coming. Access: Denied. Darkness, slumber and drunkenness on the potent wine of Mystery Babylon must be maintained. Genuine sobriety and alertness and seeing in the light of day must be quenched by any and all means. It must be so to fulfill the Lord's own purposes.

When those in darkness read through the end of Matthew chapter 24 into chapter 25, they see the possession of oil as the only consideration and are assured that they are wise virgins, and that it is enough for them. Yet, the fact that they dimmed their lamps while they slept is ignored. Sleeping in the darkness when the Bridegroom is coming is a costly error, because they won't be woken up until after the Bride has already been removed. Consider the beginning of chapter 25 as an extension of 24.

Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. ~ Matthew 25:1

The word, “Then,” is a connecting word, right? Reread the closing verses of chapter 24. The oil is for making the lamp shine brightly, not for saving. You have it to burn it. If the virgins would have known the time of the coming, they would have stayed awake and on the alert for the coming of the Bridegroom Thief, with their wicks trimmed for maximum output!

When the first Adam was put to sleep and the woman was subsequently taken out of his body, the model is plain. So it is with the body of the last Adam.

21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22 The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. ~ Genesis 2:21-22

After the Bride is taken out of His Body and brought to The Man who is the last Adam, she will become even more His helpmate!

Looking back to consider when the apostle John recorded the following message, it cannot reasonably be taken to apply very directly to anyone who is long dead at the coming of the Lord like a thief. It's for us, now.

To the angel of the church in Sardis write: “He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, says this: ‘I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God. 3 So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Therefore if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you. 4 But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. 5 He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. 6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’” ~ Revelation 3:1-6

“Therefore if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.” What if the sleeping do wake up? The only reasonable conclusion is that they will know at what hour He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars will come like a thief! They will repent, strengthening the things that remain and complete the required deeds. Is this you? Is your garment spotlessly white? Do you know when He will come to steal His precious valuables?

As it is presented in the study, Will No One Know the Day?, the secret of the comparison made in Matthew 24:37 is revealed in tracking the thread that weaves through the entire chapter. Noah knew the very day when the rain would come, one week in advance. What Noah knew, you should too. Are you ready for the sign that will establish when the Lord will come? That's the big question, because those who knew in Noah's day were shut up in the ark of salvation - and the Lord sealed it! They alone were saved. According to this model there is likewise a final cut off point for Bride qualification. A great hoax is appointed, dear saints, and if you have not received the love of the truth you will be deceived by it. Then, when the appointed sign is given, which is the revealing of the lawless one, regardless of how well informed you think you are, you won't know it for what it is. The ark of salvation will be sealed shut by the Lord Himself in that hour.

Today, life goes on. Saints labor together in the Lord's harvest field. Some will be taken and some left behind as a crop not yet come to full maturity.

Do you understand, or no?

The Lord will have crops in this season ready for harvest. Few will be accounted as unleavened bread, a Barley people, but through that work, a great multitude will ripen for harvest as wheat at Shavuot.

Be the Shulammite.

8 “There are sixty queens and eighty concubines,
And maidens without number;
9 But my dove, my perfect one, is unique:
She is her mother’s only daughter;
She is the pure child of the one who bore her.
The maidens saw her and called her blessed,
The queens and the concubines also, and they praised her, saying,
10 ‘Who is this that grows like the dawn,
As beautiful as the full moon,
As pure as the sun,
As awesome as an army with banners?’
11 “I went down to the orchard of nut trees
To see the blossoms of the valley,
To see whether the vine had budded
Or the pomegranates had bloomed.
12 “Before I was aware, my soul set me
Over the chariots of my noble people.”
13 “Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
Come back, come back, that we may gaze at you!”
“Why should you gaze at the Shulammite,
As at the dance of the two companies? ~ Song of Solomon 6:8-13

The Acts, the Chronicles: The Vehicles

When the Lord revealed the celestial sign of His return in judgment to me, I knew I had to tell people. I had no idea who would really hear it, but I knew it was a monumental revelation about something that would surely change the world and I just had to tell people. I had no degree in Theology or any associations or affiliations or credentials that might commend me to anyone. I was a struggling floorcovering installer with a young family. Why would anyone in their right mind listen to me?

Former associates simply weren't interested, except for one couple, Ron and Kathleen. Our families met together for fellowship, home church and home schooling. In 1991, there was, of course, no public Internet; not even rumors of such a thing, in my recollection. I had no substantial affiliations or contacts of note, so I wrote letters and called whoever came to mind. A mailing went out with my most rational sounding approach, sent to all the local churches I could find listed in the Sacramento Yellow Pages. Follow up calls were made. I contacted all the prophetic ministries I knew about. I also wrote and called all the local papers. I even tried to contact Oprah. Yes, seriously. There was no lack of zeal to herald this news but none to receive it.

Did anyone respond to that radical effort? Yes, a few actually did. I followed through with the appointments I made with local pastors, two or maybe three in total. What fruit there was that resulted from that promotional effort was largely in what I learned in the experience, but I did make some interesting contacts in that season. I found a few local ministers of assemblies who might be considered as offshoots of Christian sects, fringe of the fringe. I was invited to speak before a small number of them. I was mostly interested in bearing testimony about the sign and what incidentals I was learning, wanting to discover what the Lord was really doing and bear witness to it.

A reporter for the local paper came to interview me at my home in Citrus Heights. Several pages were devoted to the article and over the following months people I did business with and others in the neighborhood would tell me they read it, and that was a great conversation starter, to be sure. As a floorcovering installer, I was doing mostly residential remodeling in that season, and I was in a lot of homes, always talking to people, “witnessing” as some would say, engaging people in thoughtful conversations to get to know them, their hunger for the Truth, planting seeds and watering, seeking the Lord for increase.

Perhaps the most notable result of that campaign was a relationship with J. R. Church, of Prophecy in the News. Although my excitement was due to the celestial sign of 1991, his only interest was in the celestial sign of Christ's birth. In the brief I had sent him, that aspect was merely the background for establishing the precident, but that's what caught his attention. I'm glad it did, because I had it wrong, like those I had learned it from. It was through J. R.'s insight into one of the symbols of Revelation 12 (the crown of 12 stars as Jupiter) that we came to correct a significant error. (You can read about it here. When Jesus was Born - The Celestial Signs) The correct date of His birth on Yom Teruah, 2 BC, would soon be validated. The Lord arranged by sovereign appointment to have a book by Dr. Stephen Jones put into my hands while on a job in Davis, California. Having the correct date for the Lord's birth would become instrumental in 1999, confirming my understanding of the relationship between the Shemitah cycles and biblical millennia, and the receipt of that revelation would be another personal sign.

At one point in that early season, a young man came to our home fellowship that was being held at Ron's house. He was taking a class in media productions in association with a local cable channel. His instructor gave an assignment to the students; produce a show for broadcast. He wanted to do a show with me, so we went out to a remote pond near Folsom Lake and did a shoot. It was a single episode kind of show, and I taught about the prophetic allegory in Acts 12 , which you may know as Passing Through the Iron Gate. The show was broadcast many times over the course of a few months, and it was really surprising how many people I knew or met actually watched that show.

I had become a minor celebrity in some respects, although fame and fortune definitely wasn't what that was all about. Certainly, folks were interested in controversy and celebrity, but not so much with the truth. The experience was for my learning, for my personal development and education, because it would be many years later that the work would really bear fruit. We've entered that season, as the Barley Bride is about to ripen and be harvested!

Much more could be written about that remarkable early season, but I'd like to continue with an overview of some notable milestones. More attention must be given to the history of the development of the content of The Open Scroll and the blog as I learned what you have been reading, but the context of that development is not unimportant.

When I began to minister independently, I chose a name for the official vehicle: Christian Research Ministries. When I decided to produce a newsletter, it was called, The Open Scroll. The first edition was published in November 1995. The catalyst for that work was a prophecy conference I attended in Irvine, CA, in mid-October of 1995. The list of speakers included Hal Lindsay, Chuck Missler and Grant Jeffrey. I had met Grant a few months earlier, when he spoke in Sacramento at one of the mega-churches, but Irvine's was the first prophecy conference I ever attended. I was inspired by the disappointing lack of significant insight offered by the panel of speakers. Some of the engaging conversations I enjoyed with other saints that weekend exposed the fact that their hunger for the truth wasn't being satisfied and that their level of expectation was really very low.

The Open Scroll newsletter was distributed through the postal service. There was perhaps a hundred subscribers, mostly US, and it was almost entirely gratis. Over time, the base grew to maybe 2 or 3 hundred. Ultimately 14 editions were produced. It had started out as a monthly production, but that was ambitious for this man with a young family and a physically demanding trade that generally required a 6 day work week, amid continued health issues and the wavering economy in the industry. The formatting of the newsletter began in WordPerfect 5.1, a DOS word processing program. It was quite an effort to use it for desktop publishing, and when I was pretty much forced to adopt Word 6.0, the costly learning curve continued. I couldn't sustain the effort of formatting, printing, stapling, folding, addressing and stamping, and associated production costs for very long, so the schedule soon stretched to every other month. After the 13th issue, almost a year passed before the final 14th issue was produced.

Prior to the newsletter, I had made an effort to interest Christian publishers in a book of my key studies and insights on the subject of prophecy. I acquired quite a collection of rejection letters in that failed campaign. With the advent of the Internet, the existing systems of print publication and distribution became less relevant. It had not made sense to me that the Lord would nearly completely squelch the promotion of what He had been revealing. With the arrival of the Internet and the explosion of its popularity, it began to make sense. You put stuff on a website and hungry people all over the world have access to it. I had a voice. Like with the Gutenberg Revolution, the Lord made a way. He had it in mind all along, and so it was that I remained largely independent of all the traditional networks of Christian promotion.

Just after the first issue of The Open Scroll newsletter was produced, I got online and began to develop a website and presence on the Internet. It was a very young Internet. I learned how to code HTML and make basic graphics so I could build and maintain the website, and I gave attention to publishing The Open Scroll online, with whatever other studies seemed most important. The eventual decision to drop the newsletter and devote my full effort to the website was unavoidable.

Eventually, I bought a domain name, theopenscroll.com. Years later, when blogging became popular, I experimented with the free blogger platform to learn how that might be beneficial. In 2009, I found a use for The Open Scroll Blog, where I was less constrained by the need to provide a higher level of structure to the content being published.

As for the development of the content on The Open Scroll, the Blog provides one obvious window of insight because, from post to post, it is maintained in chronological order. An overview of the development of the content through the years is going to be useful, and, Lord willing, that will get some traction in upcoming posts to this thread. I anticipate more discussion of the practical experience gained in life's many essential lessons, and attention given to the Lord's raising up of Aaron Hermann as a teammate and partner in this work.

Madonnas and Optical Illusions - Observations while on watch

Madonna at Brit Awards: “Took me to heaven and let me fall down”

Has the world fallen for one of Madonna's cynical stunts? 'Accidental' plunge at the Brits sent her flop single zooming up the charts: “As she sang the lyrics from her new single, Living For Love, and reached the line, ‘Took me to heaven and let me fall down,’ she did indeed fall down — backwards down some steps, dragged by a backing singer tugging on her Armani cape. She was heard landing with a deep ‘thud’ by all sitting near the stage.”

Was Madonna's fall planned for a stunt? I don't know, but it happened. Comparisons with the mother Goddess and with Revelation 18 are easy to make in this season filled with signs.

1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illumined with his glory. 2 And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth of her sensuality.” ~ Revelation 18:1-3

She performed the same song and routine recently as a centerpiece for the Grammy Awards. When I gave the show some ink in this post, The 57th Grammys - Occult Ritual Extravaganza, it was pointed out how that ritual performance highlighted the merging of the Pagan and Christian religions that characterizes Mystery Babylon.

The role of Mystery Babylon is not yet played out. It will rise and peak before it falls, as per Revelation 18. Madonna's fall from the stage raised her up to new heights. The role of the Goddess / Mystery Babylon is rising still and will soon peak as she introduces her son, Antichrist, to the world. When her job is done, the great city, Babylon will quickly fall. Crash and burn.

The article pictures him in this older photo wearing a driver suit from another time, race and track, a black and yellow “yellow jacket” bee suit. The number of the Team XTREME car that was stolen is 44. That's code for Isis: 4 squared. The Bee Goddess. The Bee Goddess, stolen away like a counterfeit Bride.

The Adversary's deceptions are like smoke and mirrors. The upcoming revealing of the lawless one is a keystone of his plan, and deception will abound. The Lord has made special provision for salvation, and alongside the requirement of being worthy in character is the matter of knowing about the timing in advance, not just of the Antichrist apocalypse but of the first harvest of the church for which the apocalypse is a sign. I consider this knowledge of the timing like genuine fire, around which strange fires must be built and thick smoke swirled around for deception's sake. To state it plainly, competing theories must be focusing attention on another date, a later date, because one sooner permits time for recovery. So it is that the fall feasts of 2015 are being promoted as the time of “The Rapture.” It's building momentum, with familiar voices chiming in with what ranges between the soft sell of pointed questions and the hard sell of “conclusive evidence.” Many draw upon the blood moon tetrad for inspiration. Tom Horn's promotion of Zenith 2016 pointers to the season 2012-2016 fuel the fires. It is generally (and falsely) assumed that Jesus fulfilled the Spring feasts at His first coming and will fulfill the Fall feasts at His second coming. Examples of these strange fires are easy enough to find. Here's a very subtle support piece: Because Timing Is Everything, Petrus Romanus Will Address Joint Session Of US Congress On Jewish Day Of Atonement… And During Historic Blood Red Moon Tetrad! (pointing to September 23, 2015)

Back in 2008, during the previous Shemitah's watch season for the sign to the Bride, it was Pope Benedict's visit to the US that had my attention. It was for a sign, as Bill Clinton made his way eastward across the country to arrive at the East coast just as the Pope made his departure, on the 13th day of the 1st month. This time around, there doesn't appear to be such a Papal visit on the schedule. Mere modeling is past. Now, it's time for fulfillment.

The Ark of Salvation and Another Sign of a Stopped Clock

In only three weeks from now, the aviv search begins. We are more and more encouraged about the prospects for the season. I feel like I've been waiting a long time for this, but, relative to the Lord's patient waiting, that's about like the blink of an eye. What's about to happen has been long awaited indeed. In each season of my own watching, my level of excitement in anticipation of what might soon manifest has always been high. What changes in each consecutive season has been the level of maturity attained through insights gained and character developed. Also of note, the world changes, and there is a sign in that.

When Noah was waiting for the flood to come, he was building and outfitting the ark. It may be seen that the progress of that work was a sign to him. If we liken this season to the days of Noah, and we should be doing that, the key point of comparison is the knowing of the time in advance of the transitional events. You know that, right? Aside from that, or rather, in addition to that, the ark's state of readiness was a pretty fair gauge. In this late hour, what Aaron and I see as we watch is validation on several levels of what has been received in advance concerning the times and epochs.

The building of the ark, today, is the work of preparing those who are appointed for salvation from destruction in judgment. Destruction is coming, as announced in seemingly endless posts to this blog - even and especially destruction for the saints according to 1 Thessalonians 5 and 2 Thessalonians 2, etc. According to the pattern of Noah and his family that we find in Matthew 24, we note that, initially, a small number of saints will be saved, but resulting from that work, a great multitude. The ministry of The Open Scroll is a Noah work, one among how many others I do not know, but one that has been appointed to build the ark. One could say that it has also been a Moses work, a Joseph work, a Joshua and Caleb work, a Gideon work, a David work and an Elijah work. Noah was given notice 7 days before the waters of the flood came upon the earth. The Bride will be given similar notice, with a sign appointed for the 13th day of the 1st month that will be followed about 8 days later by her being stolen away by her Bridegroom Savior, rescued from destruction in judgment. Don't let “The Pre-Trib Rapture” or other conflicting doctrines you may have learned influence your thinking about what's coming.

The Karaites are already preparing for the upcoming aviv search so that they can determine whether the barley in Israel would be ready for a wave offering during The Feast. If found in such a state, when the next new moon is sighted it will begin the 1st month of the year, according to the agricultural or harvest calender, which is also the sacred calendar. In type, both the barley and the moon are Bride symbols, and more deeply, composite Bridegroom plus Bride symbols. Through the ages, every accounting of the lunar and harvest calendar cycles has been a prophetic modeling, a rehearsal that bears witness to a yet future reality. Is the Bride finally going to be inspected and found mature enough to be ready for harvest at the appointed time? Could it really be that these prophecies are finally going to be fulfilled? Our conviction continues to grow and so we continue to boldly assert that this is the hour we think it is.

On the morning of March 20, during the scheduled aviv search, there will be a solar eclipse, with some darkening of the sky (up to 40% of the sun covered by the moon) in Israel. According to Rabbinic tradition, a solar eclipse is a bad omen for idolaters. In this case, when we find the world under judgment, that celestial sign should not be dismissed. If an eclipse comes at dawn, it is interpreted as a sign that calamity is forthcoming and will not tarry. In some parts of the world, the sun will rise in eclipse - and neither should that interpretation be dismissed. A lunar eclipse is expected two weeks later, the third in the sequence of the blood moon tetrad that has garnered so much attention in recent years. A red moon at lunar eclipse is interpreted to mean that a sword is coming for the whole world, and, knowing what is appointed for the next few years, that does seem to be the vital message of this tetrad of blood moons. A lunar eclipse is generally interpreted by the Rabbis as a bad omen for Israel, and while that may be appointed for some in this season, for others among them (numbering first, 144k), I anticipate that it will quickly turn to what will be the cause for a grand celebration!

Brother Matt shared something with Aaron and I recently that may speak to you as it does to us. Here's an excerpt from an email.

“Lastly, really quick, I wanted to share something that I think is really interesting pertaining to time. I know your story about the apple clock that fell of the wall. My mom's pastor has a high-tech atomic clock that projects the time on the ceiling. Back on Sunday 2/1, the clock stopped on 4:11. There no natural explanations for it. My first thought was that this is slang for 'information'. They asked the Lord what it meant and they got that "the time is later than you think." Two other couples had their clocks stop on the same night. Then, I started thinking about it as a date, which is the day after Passover. This seems to generally correspond with watch dates during that month. I just thought this was interesting and I shared your story about the apple clock with them. The hour is so late and so few seem to be watching. ”

Matt's Mom contacted us a few days ago and offered a little more detail. When her Pastor discovered the stopped clock it was after 6, so it had been stopped for a couple hours. It was later than they thought. They made the connection with the end of the age. With 411 as the telephone code "dialed" to get “information,” Matt's first thought was certainly valid. As a time code, if we take 4:11 to indicate the date, April 11, that's really very interesting! The date when it happened, 2/1 was Super Bowl Sunday. That was already marked out as a special signal date to Aaron and I, one that we've discussed every day since, and had discussed several times leading up to it. I'll explain more about that shortly. That date, 2/1 and the transition that it marked, and what happened with the sign of our own stopped kitchen apple clock on this past Yom Teruah, well, already, that makes the Pastor's atomic projection clock's unlikely stopping compelling as a sign. The 4:11 time showing has much more import!

We don't want to try to sell you “our version of things” with fudged facts or artificial hype or manipulations of any kind, but this is how it goes with legitimate signs, so here's the report.

Back in August of 2014, Aaron had a dream. Like many others, it was logged in his journal but it wasn't intended for posting to the blog. Without going into unnecessary detail, it had a setting of lots of freezing icy weather and it brought our attention very specifically to Super Bowl Sunday (SBS) as a pivot of some notable kind. On SBS, which was February 1, we were inside when a first wave of a flood hit. When the second wave came, we were swept away in the flood while a voice was heard: “God will make a place for us.” Unless we get a clear sense of the interpretation, we don't make any conclusions, and we still can't say we know all of what that was about. Leading up to SBS, Aaron was reminded of the dream several times, so we were expecting something significant. The Super Bowl matched some of the dream because of the controversial ending, and we reported on the Half Time Show that featured Katy Perry, but it was what happened since then that has our attention. Aaron has been through many seasons of trial and victory since I've known him. In the process, not only has the Lord granted Him wisdom and insight, the Lord has addressed his character and brought him into greater intimacy with Him. It's been an informal and independent “school of the prophet” around here. (Notably, as I was upstairs writing those words, Aaron was downstairs, being engaged in that very activity in a very significant interaction. We discovered that an hour or so later when we were led to have a brief interaction for comparing notes.) Beginning on 2/1, the Lord began to deal in a new way with Aaron's very foundation, and we noted that what work had been done previously in him could all be said to have been to bring him to that place. The personal details are private, but Aaron's testimony about the result is that he has just experienced his best week ever. That's saying a lot, and it's true.

The Lord has been giving us a string of memorable instances of drawing us both into His Glory in a variety of ways as we pray together. These tokens are precious, and they are meaningful in their manner and context. It's one way the Lord is “keeping it real” for us. The date of the notable pivot was February 1, Super Bowl Sunday, the day highlighted in the dream, and that is without dispute. Remember, that's the day when Matt's Mom's Pastor's atomic clock stopped, and two other couple's clocks did also, providing further validating witnesses.

Our similar sign of the fallen and stopped apple clock, on Yom Teruah that was reported on October 3 and 4, came in a season where more could have been reported about what was going on, but the Lord had most of it to be kept private. It was a major deal, and timely.

So, Matt's Mom's Pastor and his wife interpreted the 411 informational message to mean that it was later than they thought. It speaks to Aaron and I as a sign that it actually is what time we think it is. What we perceive about this hour is that the Lord is completing the beautification and purification of His Bride like in Esther 2:12-13 and Ephesians 5:25-27. The word we have is an assurance that, in what we need to be ready, the Lord is helping. It is a faithful promise! What more do we need than that?

So far as the 4:11 as April 11 insight is concerned, Matt and His Mom rightly connect that with the last day of Passover. Follow along with these technical considerations.

Here's two probable projections of the Gregorian calendar dating of the first month on the Lord's calendar, assuming that the barley is discovered to be aviv in March, in the season of the solar eclipse. The hard to follow part is the synchronizing of two different calendar systems. If the new moon is sighted in Israel as the sun begins to set on March 21, sunset will mark the start of the 1st day of the 1st month. The 13th day of the 1st month on the Lord's calendar is when we should expect the lawless one to be revealed. It might well be attended by the blood moon. The full moon of April 4 will be in eclipse, darkened and deeply reddened in the shadow of the Earth. It's the 3rd one of the anticipated blood moon tetrad (but it may well be that the 4th will be skipped, lost in the time jump). According to my observations over the years, the full moon always falls on either the 13th or 14th day of the lunar month. If the new moon is sighted on March 21, the eclipse will mark the 14th day, the day after the sign to the Bride. If the new moon isn't seen on March 21, the eclipse will fall on the 13th day (like what is illustrated in I, Pet Goat II).

Now, here's what makes the atomic clock stopping at 4:11 so interesting. With the blood moon on April 4 being either on the 13th or 14th days of the 1st month, the last day of The Feast, which is the 21st day, is going to intersect with April 11 (4:11). The 21st day of the 1st month is either going to begin at sunset on April 10th (10-11), or 11th (11-12). Intersection. The last day of The Feast is appointed for the Bride Theft.

4:11 - Information! News Flash! It's later than you think!

If the 21st day of the 1st month happens to begin at sunset on April 10th, that High Holy Day of The Feast overlaps the weekly Shabbat, which is not an essential requirement, in my mind, but the Bridegroom Y'shua was Himself raised during the weekly Shabbat.

The Pastor's clock that was used to signal us has notable features. First off, its a clock, which tells time, of course, and that's the subject we need to know about for the coming hour's salvation.

I explained how the 4:11 time code highlighting April 11 probably intersects the last day of The Feast. That last day of the 7 day Feast is the 21st day of the 1st month, and the number 21 signals the meaning of time, the fullness of time, the end of time and timelessness. We've been writing for years now about a time mission, appointed for the resetting of time after it's hijacked temporarily for the purpose of releasing the antichrist anointing agency and returning agents of judgment. The time vectoring is the zig-zag path of the lightning bolt, as Satan falls to earth. We think it's likely that the time mission for resetting time and the seizing back of control over time may well be appointed for that 21st day, because it's in the right season and is numbered with the time number. The Pastor's clock was stopped, and, according to Matt's testimony, there was no natural explanation for it. It signaled that time itself stopped.

According to Romans 11, the natural olive branch (first in sequence, the 144k sons of Israel) will be made envious of the wild olive branch. What could possibly cause them to envy? Well, martyrdom is certainly an essential element, but they've seen that before, and by itself, it's not enough.

"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. ~ John 14:12

What greater works will be done than what He did? The early church multiplied in quantity the deeds He had done, because He had graduated or been so promoted to work through them, and miracles have also continued throughout the age. In these last days, a greater work is coming. Greater than multiplying loaves and fish, greater than healing the blind, and greater even than raising individuals from the dead after 4 days in the grave. What's coming is going to arouse envy. We are convinced it has to do with the time mission, as we've documented.

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. 25 Behold, I have told you in advance. ~ Matthew 24:21-25

The elect are the benefactors, not the beneficiaries.

When time is temporarily hijacked, one of the Enemy's agendas involves the time lock on a dimensional prison cell. A key operation is the securing of the release of those responsible for the Flood of Noah. We seem to be about half a millennium shy of their full sentence of 70 generations, so that countdown timer needs to be zeroed out for an early release. Seizing control over time will allow the Adversary to exercise a degree of control over the stargates, for a brief season. This is actually all part of the Sovereign God's plan, but let's just keep that little secret between us, shall we? ;)

The Pastor's clock being atomic is a notable fact. The clock itself merely receives a synchronizing transmission from an actual atomic clock that is keyed to the clock location's time zone. Think about the atomic clock in connection with CERN and the LHC supercollider. It's being brought back online to produce atomic collisions, directing opposing proton beams to collide at energies of 13 TeV, about double the previous record breaking level. Code Thirteen. It has been well documented that they are interested in breaching time-space barriers. The official target for start up is the end of March. They expect success by May. April 2015 is the big month on their schedule.

The clock being a projection clock is also notable, since there's an epic hoax coming that we have described as involving a projection through time. Connect the dots. Think it through. The interpretation of, “It's later than we think,” implies that we have been deceived.

In this season, there are going to be even more signs bearing witness to what's coming, and when.

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds. ~ Titus 2:11-14

In judgment, people get what they deserve, good for good and bad for bad. Look in the mirror long and hard.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
24 And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way. ~ Psalm 139:23-24

7 The way of the righteous is smooth;
O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.
8 Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O Lord,
We have waited for You eagerly;
Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls.
9 At night my soul longs for You,
Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently;
For when the earth experiences Your judgments
The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 Though the wicked is shown favor,
He does not learn righteousness;
He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness,
And does not perceive the majesty of the Lord. ~ Isaiah 26:7-10
