Reporting on Day Twelve - Signs

As I write, it's the 12th day of the 1st month, and there is tension in the air. I was relieved to be able to finally publish the really pressing content of the previous post. That was huge.

Aaron and I haven't been given any special dreams or visions in the last few days, and there have been no angelic visitations, but we haven't been led to expect them either. What we have received hasn't been unexpected. Further revelation insight, and adversity. We're not insensitive, and the Lord doesn't entirely shield us from spiritual assaults, but He allows us to take hits. We respond by seeking Him for help. He has given us assurrance us that He will help, and that's just what He does! He is faithful! This morning we were praying as led and the Lord's presence was evident from the start as I began with an immediate and unmistakable feeling of elation. He gave us both a touch of glory as I prayed and it was just what we needed to sustain us. Aaron prayed and the Lord's presence was tangible. He has been constant with provision, with timely miracles of healing to maintain health when crises loom, and to sustain us in every other area of need. We remain confident that the Lord is watching over His Bride and the 144k sons of Israel very attentively, nurturing and guiding until the moment comes for big things to happen. What we expect within the next couple days seems crazy to some but we'd really have to be insane to declare anything else, given what the Lord has done and is doing.

Here's a timely sign. This is the Drudge Report headline last night, early on this 12th day of the 1st month. Water wars = Time wars. Crops are at stake. We've been reading about flooding in the Chilean desert and the Nile and Euphrates drying out.

Here's another sign. A reader is expecting his first child. He's in the hospital right now with his wife, and the baby is overdue. She is 41 weeks pregnant, and she was admitted on 4/1 into room 411. They are expecting a girl and they plan to name her, Holland.

Holland, or, the Netherlands, is generally known for windmills and tulips. According to Wikipedia, “Continuous drainage is necessary to keep Holland from flooding. In earlier centuries windmills were used for this task. The landscape was (and in places still is) dotted with windmills, which have become a symbol of Holland.” The classic windmill is a water pump, in metaphor, a time machine. Powered by the wind, or spirit. With dikes, (water-time barriers), they provide for the cultivation of fields of tulips. The tulip is used as a metaphor for a female, because of the two lips - two sets of lips - labia of the genitalia. We see this symbol leveraged in the TV series, Fringe. For one example, Water Bishop believed God gave him the white tulip when he prayed for a sign. The white tulip is a symbol of the virgin goddess. For another example, Olivia Dunham once fled to a field of white tulips as a place of refuge when she was a little girl. She was found there by Peter Bishop, a name you can easily identify as symbolic of the male genitalia.

At last report, the mother is expected to go into labor at any moment. 1 Thessalonians 5 should come to mind. The process of birthing usually begins with labor pains and the water breaking. “It's time!” That's what is usually said in response. Who's in charge of when labor comes and the water breaks? It's kind of a Dutch windmill scenario, a Spirit driven time machine, bringing a new life to birth. The numbers 41, 4/1 and 411. Matt's Mom's Pastor's atomic projection clock was stopped at 4:11 for a sign. Information! “It's later than you think.” Now, it's 4/2, Tuesday.

Sure, people generally tend to read to much into things, but yet, signs are real and are given to confirm what things are declared in other ways. Believers don't just follow signs, but signs do follow believers. The projection clock and room number don't prove anything, or disprove anything, and the headline news about water wars doesn't either, but this is what we're seeing as we keep watch, and signs should certainly be expected. This is how God works, and historians like Josephus provide plenty of documentation that this is not a new thing.

The water wars headline came online as I finished a session of recording notes about Rango, the movie, which revolves around the theme of water-as-time. Wouldn't you know, it features water wars as time wars. In this late hour, I may just add another post to the Rango series. Lord willing. We've had several other rather detailed signs lately, none of them published to the blog. We continue to be encouraged and to press in to get and give all there is to be gotten and given in this season, according to the Lord's good pleasure.

It is those who endure to the end who will receive the reward.

The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You. ~ Isaiah 26:3

Megas Thlipsis - The Pending Time Storm and Awaiting Ark

"The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You. ~ Isaiah 26:3

As I write, it's the 11th day of the 1st month, with merely a double digit numbering of hours remaining until the revealing of the lawless one. The reporting of what Aaron and I believe are the days that will be cut short continues.

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. ~ Matthew 24:21-22

If it is as we think it is, and we have no legitimate reason to doubt, “those days,” when the Devil has control over time, are nearly upon us. Those referred to as the elect are about to be preserved in a space-time ark of sorts. It's going to be confusing and very complicated, but the Lord has made adequate provision. I know so little about so much, but I am assured that it is enough.

With regard to “those days,” there will come a resurrection event, and it will be for the Bride, a barley harvest. Prior to that there will come a great hoax that will shatter the faith and hope of many, convincing them them that there is no further hope of resurrection because it already passed. Aaron and I have written about the fraud for years, and we think a resurrection won't need to be faked. Lies will be told to misrepresent what is seen, but we think the resurrection will be legitimate. We had accepted the familiar theory about the dead being raised an instant before the living, but if that's true, some of what the Lord has been revealing to us makes no sense. The dead will be raised first because the witness of their rising is important, and some or all of them have roles that must be fulfilled before the living, who are appointed to that same harvest, are changed.

13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 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. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Even though we read “in the twinkling of an eye,” from 1 Corinthians 15:52, it can not be claimed that the dead will be raised and the living changed in the same moment. Consider The account given in Luke 13.

22 And He was passing through from one city and village to another, teaching, and proceeding on His way to Jerusalem. 23 And someone said to Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” And He said to them, 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ then He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ 26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; 27 and He will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from; depart from Me, all you evildoers.’ 28 In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves being thrown out. 29 And they will come from east and west and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God. 30 And behold, some are last who will be first and some are first who will be last.” ~ Luke 13:22-30

Those who are not qualified will be shut out, as from an ark of salvation. How will those evildoers then see Abraham and the others but themselves thrown out? Abraham is only dead until he is raised, and when he and those with him are gathered, they will recline at the table in the kingdom of God, which speaks to me of the “last supper” promise Y'shua made about drinking this fruit of the vine in Matthew 26:29, at “the Passover.” He spoke (v. 30) of rank and order in the Kingdom, which is a key subject of 1 Corinthians 15. Will that part of the hoax need a fraudulent resurrection (or attending “chariots”) or just a great cover story?

Consider the balance of Luke 13.

31 Just at that time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, “Go away, leave here, for Herod wants to kill You.” 32 And He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I reach My goal.’ 33 Nevertheless I must journey on today and tomorrow and the next day; for it cannot be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem. 34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not have it! 35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” ~ Luke 13:31-35

Herod = Antichrist. (Passing Through the Iron Gate ) As we should well know, “fox” is 666, by Occult letter numerology. Did the Lord not know we'd be speaking English in these last days? “Third day” is resurrection code. (Resurrection on the Third Day) Has the Lord not appointed a time for His brood to be gathered? Is it not Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God his brood, finally gathered under “her” wings “from east and west and from north and south” in resurrection? The house of Israel is left desolate, for those who believe in this age are separated out, becoming part of the church, technically distinct. It will no more be desolate when the saints of this age have entered through the narrow door and it is shut, and then those 144k sons of Israel accept the Shepherd of that Sheepfold as the God of their fathers. (What Will Their Acceptance be but Life from the Dead?) Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai!

Perhaps resurrection will also be faked, with fake heavenly vehicles. “Invasion is imminent.”

Part of the show will probably involve porting live streaming content from the past, sowing confusion with lies about the following account.

50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. 51 And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many. 54 Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!” ~ Matthew 27:50-54

We think there will be a complex leveraging of not only cultural memes but personal memories and fears during this season of megas thlipsis, when time is in flux.

Before I move on to other kinds of models, I'd like to elaborate on a scriptural model I mentioned previously in brief. When Joshua led Israel across the Jordan and took Jericho (The Jericho Scenario), it modeled megas thlipsis. Jordan was the river of time, and Israel crossed through like they had through the Red Sea. Word of that got around and it terrified everyone. Megas thlipsis. There are multiple ark of salvation models here. Even though the river crossing was a Pesah scenario and the taking of Jericho followed after, the six days of circling the city followed by the seven times around on the seventh day was also a Pesah model.

The following, from Passover and the Structure of Joshua 2 - by Peter J. Leithart, follows his observations about parallels and connections linking Joshua and Moses.

“With this in the background, it is not surprising that the events of Joshua 1-6 closely parallel Israel’s deliverance from Egypt. Since the conquest completes the exodus (cf. Exodus 15:14-18), it is fitting that the entry into the land is larded over with Passover-Exodus allusions. In chapter 3, the Jordan parts and Israel crosses on dry ground; then the Israelite men are circumcised and they celebrate Passover, which is immediately followed by the destruction of the city and the deliverance of Rahab’s house. The exodus followed this pattern: Destruction of Egypt, Passover, Water crossing. Now the entry into the land chiastically reverses the sequence: Water crossing, Passover, Destruction of Jericho. (The two spies who enter a house in a doomed city also reminds us of the two angels visiting Sodom and delivering Lot’s house; Jericho is both Sodom and Egypt, cf. Rev. 11:8. ”

About the thematic structure of 2:15-21, Leithart notes:

“The structure highlights the Passover connections in several ways. It underlines what is evident in the narrative, namely, that the window with the scarlet cord is a way of escape (the cord parallels the rope), like the bloody doorway of Passover. This is reinforced by the parallel of 2:18a and 2:19, where the scarlet cord is linked with blood guilt: If the cord of blood is not displayed, then the blood of Rahab’s family will be shed, with impunity, by Israel; only a display of "blood" will save Rahab from a bloody death. Finally, the center of this section repeats the command of Exodus 12:22. These structural indications should eliminate doubt (commonly expressed by commentators) that Rahab’s deliverance is to be understood as a Passover.”

Passover. The ark of salvation. Sealed with the blood of the lamb. I note that when the walls of Jericho were made to fall flat at the shouting and sounding of trumpets, Rahab's house was in the wall. Those inside her house were supernaturally protected, as well as being spared when Israel went in to destroy every man and woman, ox, sheep and donkey with the edge of the sword.

There are accounts of storms on the sea that speak so loudly to Aaron and I of the time war in the season of megas thlipis and the supernatural protection provided for some. Considering these accounts in context makes them even more compelling.

I wrote long ago about how the Sea of Galilee was a symbol of the time of great tribulation, and that the accounts had coded time references. I also see it this way with the abbreviated version of megas thlipsis, in this Pesah season. Water-as-time. Boat as ark of salvation. Some of the 12 disciples were seasoned fishermen, and they had no doubt, weathered some storms. All were Galileans (Acts 2:7). Here's one account.

22 Now on one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out. 23 But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger. 24 They came to Jesus and woke Him up, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became calm. 25 And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” They were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?” ~ Luke 8:22-25

There's similar accounts in Mark 4:35-41 and Matthew 8:18-27. Don't bother trying to mash these together because they each have their lessons. There are diverse people in different groups and situations represented. There will be megas thlipsis, with prevailing intense stress and anxiety, and a people hemmed in, protected, in arks of salvation. The Body of Christ is asleep, as the first Adam was just prior to having a Bride taken out. Boats will begin to be swamped, as in the water-as-time scenarios, but those appointed for it will be saved. My Savior is Lord of heaven, the spiritual realm (winds), and of time (water).

When you study these accounts, and you probably should, note the context. Here's the segue into the account given above.

19 And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd. 20 And it was reported to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You.” 21 But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.” ~ Luke 8:19-21

It's the Lord keeping out those who don't qualify, who don't hear the word of God and do it. Those who qualify go into the ark and the door is shut, even to the Lord's family, even to the body of Christ. Prior to that, the Lord sheds light on the qualification, which is in no small part to us right now, about the last days when the crop comes ready for a great harvest, in a time prophecy of the Keystone pattern.

The lead in to the stormy megas thlipsis in Mark 4 is also about the age that is comes to its end. The birds of the air in the mustard tree is a picture of the demon infested church of Mystery Babylon. The parable of the seed in verses 26-29 is another example of the Keystone Pattern, which I haven't identified as such until this writing.

26 And He was saying, “The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil; 27 and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows—how, he himself does not know. 28 The soil produces crops by itself; first the blade, [1] then the head [2], then the mature grain in the head. [3] 29 But when the crop permits [4], he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.” ~ Mark 4:26-29

Friends, does the crop not now permit? Will He not immediately put in the sickle? That remains our hopeful expectation.

Here's the opening of the storm passage from Matthew 8.

18 Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea. 19 Then a scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.” 20 Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” 21 Another of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead.” ~ Matthew 8:18-22

Foxes and birds of the air, this world is their home, and those represented as scribes (religious hypocrites, who will NOT follow him where he goes, into this ark of salvation) slumber as in the night. In contrast, this world is not our home, if ours is with the Son of Man, and this about to manifest. He has nowhere HERE to lay His head. No sleeping, metaphorically, for the alert and sober virginal Bride. So, how can the dead bury the dead or do anything at all, because they are dead? These dead are the sleeping, as drunk in the night. 1 Thessalonians 5. Here's a verse about the denial of entry into the ark.

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 5:3

No ark of salvation for them, whether these virgins have oil for their lamps or not. Those who can follow the Lord into the boat and go across the stormy sea must let the dead bury their own dead, tending still to the burden of this life that must be sacrificed willingly for the robe to be washed clean in the blood of the Lamb. Those who qualify to enter the ark have already taken up the cross at the cost of their lives. They have proven their friendship and received the love of the Truth. 2 Thessalonians 2.

Now, consider what follows the storm in those accounts. When they get to the other side, which is to say, after the Bride Theft, those who were left behind are dealt with. Gnashing of teeth, the demoniac. Those cast out, knocking but rejected.

And they cried out, saying, “What business do we have with each other, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?” ~ Matthew 8:29

It will soon be time. Given leave, the demons enter about 2000 swine, who rush down to be drowned in the sea. Time code. The church age. Birds of the air in the mustard tree. Foxes with dens. Whatever is in the Lord's harvest field that is not fit for harvest with the barley. Bad fish. Goats. The wild olive branch is broken off (Romans 11) and yet in the Lord's awesome mercy they may still embrace the way of the cross, but for reduced benefit. The great wheat harvest awaits. Shavuot. We believe the Wheat saints will do as the Bride will have done, as modeled by Peter, who would return and strengthen his brothers after being sifted by Satan.

Some accounts of time-storms on the Sea of Galilee feature walking on water, as moving above and untouched by water, beyond this time-space realm.

45 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away. 46 After bidding them farewell, He left for the mountain to pray. 47 When it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. 48 Seeing them straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them. 49 But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out; 50 for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and said to them, “Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.” 51 Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished, 52 for they had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but their heart was hardened. ~ Mark 6:45-52

They were terrified, and in a boat. Megas Thlipsis. Those disciples supposed it was a ghost - phantasma, a phantasm. Really? What's going on here? Prophecy. He intended to pass them by. They weren't in the ark of salvation for Barley, you see. He got in the boat with them, but these disciples had hard hearts. They didn't gain any insight from the incident of the loaves. It was following the feeding of the 5000 that, immediately, Jesus made His disciples get into the boat. Have you gained any insight about the incident of the loaves?

39 And He commanded them all to sit down by groups on the green grass. 40 They sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties. 41 And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food and broke the loaves and He kept giving them to the disciples to set before them; and He divided up the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were satisfied, 43 and they picked up twelve full baskets of the broken pieces, and also of the fish. 44 There were five thousand men who ate the loaves. ~ Mark 6:39-44

How many baskets full? Where did the fish come from? How many men were fed? Organized how?

Here's another account, from John 6, which also follows the sign of the 5 barley loaves and 2 fish.

15 So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone. 16 Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, 17 and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 The sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing. 19 Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened. 20 But He said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” 21 So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going. 22 The next day the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other small boat there, except one, and that Jesus had not entered with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone. 23 There came other small boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks. 24 So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus. 25 When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?” ~ John 6:15-25

Not how, but WHEN. “Rabbi, when did You get here?” In a time numbered verse 21, note that “immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.” Now how does that happen? Zig Zag. Prior to launching out, the crowd was intending to take Jesus by force to make him king. They couldn't. It speaks to us of another being made king in his stead, one like unto Jesus Barabbas.

“Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,” says the Lord of hosts. 2 “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap. ~ Malachi 3:1-2

Matthew 14 features another account of Y'shua walking on the water of the stormy Sea of Galilee, but Peter walks on water too, until he begins to sink. He gets wet, touched by water, like, in Luke 8:23, how the boat the disciples were in was getting swamped in the storm.

28 Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 When they got into the boat, the wind stopped. 33 And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are certainly God’s Son!” ~ Matthew 14:28-33

Immediately. And who else will be in the boat-ark? Sons of Israel, 144,000, 12,000 from each of 12 tribes. Romans 11:15!

Here's a time-storm megas thlipsis account from Acts. Again, the “third day” is a resurrection signal. There are many opportunities for dot connecting here.

18 The next day as we were being violently storm-tossed, they began to jettison the cargo; 19 and on the third day they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. 20 Since neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was assailing us, from then on all hope of our being saved was gradually abandoned. 21 When they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up in their midst and said, “Men, you ought to have followed my advice and not to have set sail from Crete and incurred this damage and loss. 22 Yet now I urge you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. 23 For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me, 24 saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those who are sailing with you.’ 25 Therefore, keep up your courage, men, for I believe God that it will turn out exactly as I have been told. 26 But we must run aground on a certain island.” 27 But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to surmise that they were approaching some land. 28 They took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and a little farther on they took another sounding and found it to be fifteen fathoms. 29 Fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and wished for daybreak. 30 But as the sailors were trying to escape from the ship and had let down the ship’s boat into the sea, on the pretense of intending to lay out anchors from the bow, 31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these men remain in the ship, you yourselves cannot be saved.” 32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship’s boat and let it fall away. 33 Until the day was about to dawn, Paul was encouraging them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have been constantly watching and going without eating, having taken nothing. 34 Therefore I encourage you to take some food, for this is for your preservation, for not a hair from the head of any of you will perish.” 35 Having said this, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it and began to eat. 36 All of them were encouraged and they themselves also took food. 37 All of us in the ship were two hundred and seventy-six persons. 38 When they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by throwing out the wheat into the sea. 39 When day came, they could not recognize the land; but they did observe a bay with a beach, and they resolved to drive the ship onto it if they could. 40 And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea while at the same time they were loosening the ropes of the rudders; and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they were heading for the beach. 41 But striking a reef where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the force of the waves. 42 The soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away and escape; 43 but the centurion, wanting to bring Paul safely through, kept them from their intention, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land, 44 and the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. And so it happened that they all were brought safely to land. ~ Acts 27:18-44

Note, breaking bread signals the giving of insight as the Lord opens the eyes and ears. Note the passing of 14 days.

When they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by throwing out the wheat into the sea. ~ Acts 27:38

The Wheat didn't make it ashore, being cast out into the sea. No other provision was made, no disobedient trickster sailors attempting to save their own lives would have been saved.

Megas Thlipsis - Biblical Accounts

My calendar informs me that the end of this season is nigh. About our conclusions, Aaron and I have questioned and re-questioned our assumptions, interpretations of scripture, what we consider signs, and revelation insights, and assurances of many kinds, and we see nothing that compels us to waver in our conviction that we are mere days away from our bright hope being fulfilled.

We so appreciate the love letters we've been receiving, so grateful that our love in the Lord's mercy and exceeding great grace has been received. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Y'shua haMashiach, has been so good to us, so generous with favor, forgiving and kind. We long to be with the Lord and with His elect, knowing that what could be done is nearly done, and it will be enough. We servants of fine food have lingered long in the kitchen, but there's more bread and fish to be served. What an honor to be found serving in this hour!

It's not a party atmosphere around here, at least not entirely. It's tempered with the stone cold sober awareness of how many think they are ready and are about to be devastated.

As Noah finished building the ark, those around him occupied themselves with life's myriad activities, marrying and giving in marriage, as though life would go on as it always had. It had never rained before, or flooded. One hundred twenty years earlier, Noah had warned them of coming destruction but none gave heed except the seven others with him. Today, it's not very different. Life goes on. In the minds of most, judgment has never been poured out on the world, but really, it has been. Most think there has never been a resurrection of the dead and a changing of the living, but that's only partly true. Warning has been given about what is coming but for most, it is today as it ever was. Life goes on.

Until it doesn't.

Here are more models that speak loudly to us of the megas thlipsis, great tribulation.

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. ~ Matthew 24:21-22

A special miracle happened as a sign in the account of the great contest on Mt. Carmel, 1 Kings 18. It was between the gods of the prophets of Baal and Asterah and the Lord God of Elijah. The 950 prophets (v. 19) failed to produce the required result. For Elijah, fire fell from heaven to consume the sacrifice, right on time. Contest: Over. Elijah had prefaced it with a prayer.

Answer me, O Lord, answer me, that this people may know that You, O Lord, are God, and that You have turned their heart back again. ~ 1 Kings 18:37

I wrote about that in, Elijah's God Answers by Fire, showing it to be a prophecy about the Bride Theft and the baptism of the 144k sons of Israel. Romans 11:15, John 21 - it should be obvious. The sign informs us about our day. It conceals and reveals something about what will turn His people's hearts back to Himself.

30 Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me.” So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord which had been torn down. 31 Elijah took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, “Israel shall be your name.” 32 So with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord, and he made a trench around the altar, large enough to hold two measures of seed. 33 Then he arranged the wood and cut the ox in pieces and laid it on the wood. 34 And he said, “Fill four pitchers with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.” And he said, “Do it a second time,” and they did it a second time. And he said, “Do it a third time,” and they did it a third time. 35 The water flowed around the altar and he also filled the trench with water. 36 At the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet came near and said, “O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, today let it be known that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant and I have done all these things at Your word. 37 Answer me, O Lord, answer me, that this people may know that You, O Lord, are God, and that You have turned their heart back again.” 38 Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 39 When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, “The Lord, He is God; the Lord, He is God.” ~ 1 Kings 18:30-39

Twelve stones - the time number. Four pitchers, three times filled with water and poured out on the sacrifice. 4*3=12. Again, the time number. Water-as-time. It was the appointed amount of time, in the fullness of time. The sacrifice was drenched and water filled the circular trench. When fire fell from heaven, the sacrifice was consumed along with everything in the circle. What was burned up speaks of the Messiah and His people. The appointed measure of time itself was consumed by heaven's fire! And, there's a time code: After three things are completed, then comes the fulfillment. Familiar, right - the Keystone Pattern? First, came three dousings in sequence with 4 pitchers of water (4-dimensions of time-space), which men do. Then, the Lord brings the fire, answering Elijah and performing the sign to the people that He is God, not the idols they have been worshiping, and that He has turned their heart back again. This prophecy is about to be fulfilled.

Have you read through the account of the Exodus yet, understanding the prophetic allegory where water represents time? Dry land in the midst of the sea between walls of water as time-space ark. Those saved went through in martial array, and armies march in step. Left right left... keeping time. Read the song of Moses and the sons of Israel in Exodus 15 mindful of the water-as-time metaphor.

16 “Terror and dread fall upon them;
By the greatness of Your arm they are motionless as stone;
Until Your people pass over, O Lord,
Until the people pass over whom You have purchased.
17 “You will bring them and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance,
The place, O Lord, which You have made for Your dwelling,
The sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.
18 “The Lord shall reign forever and ever.”
19 For the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea on them, but the sons of Israel walked on dry land through the midst of the sea. ~ Exodus 15:16-19

Awesome! The chapter closes with more water allegory at Marah, then at Elim.

Then they came to Elim where there were twelve springs of water and seventy date palms, and they camped there beside the waters. ~ Exodus 15:27

Provision will be made subsequent to this Pesah season's time wars, as before, now.

Time wars will be fought. Here's an account of 12 stones, the time number, taken from the Jordan.

19 Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth of the first month and camped at Gilgal on the eastern edge of Jericho. 20 Those twelve stones which they had taken from the Jordan, Joshua set up at Gilgal. 21 He said to the sons of Israel, “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, ‘What are these stones?’ 22 then you shall inform your children, saying, ‘Israel crossed this Jordan on dry ground.’ 23 For the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed, just as the Lord your God had done to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed; 24 that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the Lord is mighty, so that you may fear the Lord your God forever.” ~ Joshua 4:19-24

Note, as I write, it is now the 10th day of the 1st month. Lord willing there's more commentary forthcoming about the account of the taking of Jericho, and the Passover model.

The test for selecting Gideon's army of 300 took place at the water's edge, with respect to how they drank water.

The most exalted of the Lord's warriors has to be David, when he was a boy. He killed Goliath with a water worn object chosen from a brook in the valley of Elah.

He took his stick in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s bag which he had, even in his pouch, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.

48 Then it happened when the Philistine rose and came and drew near to meet David, that David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine. 49 And David put his hand into his bag and took from it a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead. And the stone sank into his forehead, so that he fell on his face to the ground. ~ 1 Samuel 17:40, 48-49

We believe that some of us are about to enter the ark of salvation, and others of us will find ourselves barred from entering. We have all received fair warning.

3 Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” 5 For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, 6 through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. 7 But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. ~ 2 Peter 3:3-7

James Bond 007 “Spectre” trailer - Embedded Time Codes for the Beast's Arrival

If you watched the video presented in the previous post and grasped the time code messaging, you'll see more of the same in this new official video of the James Bond 007: “Spectre” teaser trailer.



The official blurb is laden with NLP. “See the first teaser trailer for the 24th James Bond adventure SPECTRE. A cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE.”

Aaron and I noted that the teaser trailer is packed with symbolism, like stargate transit (transporters traveling across Thames-Isis on arched bridge) , Apollo (crows-ravens)... He is told, “You're a kite dancing in a hurricane, Mr Bond.” Kite: bird of prey, like a falcon or hawk, an NLP symbol strengthened by the startling crows. Hurricane, spirit time vortex wormhole. Recall CERN's Symmetry trailer!

The main interest is what happens at 1 minute 13 seconds in. We hear, “It's been a long time.” It's the man's response to seeing Bond. The appearance of the lawless one on the 13th day of the 1st month - familiar - from out of the distant past - from a long time ago. He is the spectre! Listen for the tinkling sounds. The tinkling of bells signals dimensional transit, first heard at 1:09. At 1:16 the bell rings again and we see a man sitting at a table, his face is in the shadows, on the table is a large pitcher of water and a glass. Water-time. He says, “And finally, here we are,” accompanied by more bell tinkling. Then we see what is evidently a bullet punching a hole in glass or ice, at 1:21. The event resembles a particle collision in a supercollider. We see it as the LHC, punching a hole through the dimensional barrier with atomic particles fired from a “machine gun.” Deadly. The trailer ends with the word, SPECTRE, appearing, with the "C" forming around the bullet hole. “C” it's the Eye of Horus, or, (spect)“RE”. OT is circle cross ~ MOB.

If you watched, Snowpiercer, the bullethole symbolism should be familiar because you saw a scene featuring a gun battle when the “time” train with the eternal engine was making a tight loop. Bullets were fired from machine guns between two cars, one many cars ahead of the other. Folded time-space. Time jump through the frozen (water-time) expanse between them. Bullets pierced the window glass, piercing the time-space barrier.

Spectre is the 24th film in the franchise. We're in the 24th year of a very special count, which began at the celestial sign of 1991 marking the Lord's return in judgment. This is the year appointed for the spectre to manifest. It's very nearly the 13th day of the 1st month, when we should expect his revealing, being day 9 as I type this out. The Occult value of the word spectre is 19+16+5+3+20+18+5=86. We're in Shemitah 860 counted from Adam and it's all about the 86ing of the age. As the man said, “FINALLY - here we are!”

Urgent - Insight into CERN's Time Machine

Urgent - Insight into CERN's Time Machine



The LHC is being fired up and is expected to begin generating particle collisions any day now. Are they going to achieve their goal? If so, it looks to us like they will be fulfilling prophecy on the exact schedule foretold in the Bible, a schedule and outcome they themselves are signaling!

CERN recently presented two films to celebrate the refiring of the LHC called, Symmetry, and, Symmetry Unravelled. A time code has been embedded in the Symmetry trailer that testifies to the reason for the LHC. There's a ringing sound attending a particle beam collision at 1.13 that speaks to me of the 13th day of the 1st month on the Lord's calendar. That's the day when biblical models illustrate the emergence of the Antichrist beast, and that's when the LHC is probably going to begin colliding protons at high energy.

The trailer seems to highlight the Passover week and a the events leading up to it. The key scene of this trailer is compared to one from another film, The Penitent Man, to demonstrate the match. Just because we're not being told “directly” what's really going on doesn't mean we're not being told. This is a big deal because your life will never be the same - the world will never be the same, and what you do about it will matter for a very long time!

In the clip from The Penitent Man, you'll hear Mr. Darnell say, “You need a machine to sustain a wormhole, of course. ” What kind of machine do you suppose is meant? Their NLP laden conversation and symbolic props filling the set make it abundantly clear. CERN's LHC is the time machine, the one that sustains the wormhole.

Darnell, the time traveler and inventor of time travel who destroyed the future, says: “Think of the water in that glass as time. Time moves forward constantly. Untouched, it's as still as the water. Go back and try to change something - BANG - and it creates a ripple effect.” Read between the lines. The particle collision pictured creates a ripple effect in time, a time impact event. Who is trying to go back/forward to try to change an outcome? Darnell is. That's why he's there meeting with Dr Pyatt and speaking so persuasively. Darnell himself is playing the role of the destroyer of worlds, the dancing lord Shiva.

The CERN LHC facility is literally a temple devoted to the ancient gods and it's the set for much of the Symmetry film. It's located adjacent to what is claimed to be the number one most Occult city in the world, Geneva, Switzerland. The Penitent Man, was filmed adjacent to the number two most Occult city in the world, which is Vancouver, BC. It was filmed in Seattle, and most of the scenes were shot inside a Masonic facility, the society of the illuminated brotherhood known for their temples.

For more insight shared on this blog, see the following:

• CERN's Lord of the Dance
• Series Links: Decoding “The Penitent Man”

More insight opened up to Aaron and I during the past few days, since beginning work on this video, and there's just so much that's so relevant that I could go on for quite a while - but time is up. I doubt that I'll be making another video, so here's some notes if you feel led to pursue these things further.

About the props on the set...

The voice recorder:

Records the present, so the past can be replayed in the future. Time loop. Cassette reels are XO MOB. Reels rotate out of synch with a changing rotational speed differential - modeling ends of a wormhole harnessed for time travel. Acoustic device - wave energy. Model: M-47 -- 47th Problem of Euclid which signals: Osiris + Isis = Horus. Through Theurgy, actually works to invoke Horus. The letter M is understood to be a male union female symbol. It is the abbreviated glyph for water, and therefore, time.

Room door, hall tree, umbrella and overcoat:

The room's door and the umbrella and overcoat hanging next to it. An umbrella keeps you dry when it rains, so one who uses the umbrella properly can pass through rain-water-time in their own little dry comfort-safety zone as they travel from place to place. The door is a dimensional door and the door handle is the control mechanism, which the young doctor is so eager to learn about. A garment represents a body and its state and status. In John 21, Peter put on a garment before he jumped in the water. What sense does that make? Not much, until you catch on to how it was a resurrection scenario, and he had to be clothed upon with immortality to make his way to shore, to be with our Lord.

In Matthew 22, we read:

11 But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, 12 and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?' And the man was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' ~ Matthew 22:11-13

The overcoat hanging next to the door belongs to the time traveler, who took it off as he entered the room. What's his status? His assumed name is Mr. Darnell, and a Darnel is a tare. (Matthew 13) His garment hangs from a wooden hall tree.

'Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us-- for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE " ~ Galatians 3:13

I identified Mr. Darnell as the destroyer, Shiva, Apollyon. He's the one CERN's LHC is opening the door for. The real one is about to come through the door and be clothed upon with a garment that is the flesh body of the man chosen as a host vessel. Are you ready?

The crossing red and green rubber bands on Mr. Darnell's black book:

Crossing the red and green rubber bands represents crossing the future with the past. Modeled in TPM when Pyatt hands Darnell a glass of water, and they linger while making the transfer. While they both hold the glass, Darnell says to Pyatt: Does it scare you if I am? I AM. That's the identification heard by Moses with the Lord God spoke to him on Sinai from the burning bush. “I am,” meaning every-where and every-when present. Darnel-Tare the destroyer masquerades as the Most High God, claiming His identity.

Red = Adam
Green = Osiris, the Green Man
Red and green rubber bands crossing their gene lines to make a cross between heavenly and earthly species, the hybrid man binding heaven and earth.

Life
Red - blood - the life of the flesh is in the blood - Leviticus 17:11
Green - chlorophyll - plant life
The book wrapped around is the book of life - as with DNA strands

Red sands of time in the dragon cornered hourglass
Green witch sent it flying - Tempus Fugit
The water splashed on the Green Witch destroyed her, leaving nothing but a vapor.
Water = Time. Green Witch - Greenwich - GMT / UTC.

Megas Thlipsis - Insights into Allegorical Models and Signs

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. ~ Matthew 24:21-22

I've been writing about this Pesah season as megas thlipsis, great tribulation. It will be a season like no other. Time will be in flux, and there are perspectives where time will be shifted into the future. A great deception will be manifest and nearly everyone will fall prey to it - but a small number are about to be protected in what can be described as a space-time ark. Aaron and I still have plenty of questions about what's coming but answers continue to come as the Lord abides faithful to His promise of help. Insight is being brought into the scriptures and through multimedia presentations, and signs are being observed. More on signs later.

As demonstrated in Will No One Know the Day?, knowing the time of the Lord's coming is a key thread that runs through the entire 24th chapter of Matthew. Now, with a greater understanding of megas thlipsis, and seeing that as a central thread woven into the time theme of the passage, verse 37 suggests another point of comparison.

For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. ~ Matthew 24:37

Some will be like Noah, knowing the time in advance. It was Noah entered the ark, with his family and the creatures who were appointed to salvation, and so it will be on that same pattern. Did you read the accounts in Genesis and Jasher? An argument can be made that they entered a week before destruction was brought by the flood. Have you grasped how the water as time metaphor applies?

13 On the very same day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark, 14 they and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, all sorts of birds. 15 So they went into the ark to Noah, by twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life. 16 Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the Lord closed (Strongs H5462: sagar) it behind him. ~ Genesis 7:13-16

The Hebrew word for, “closed,” (verse 16) was used once before in a specially related context. In Genesis 2, the Lord God the Lord closed up something else, Adam's flesh, after putting him into a deep sleep and removing that which became his bride.

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 (Strongs H5462: sagar) 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. 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” ~ Genesis 2:21-23

That is a prophetic model of the Bride Theft, when the Bride is taken out of the Body of Christ, the last Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45). Of course, this is not to say that the body of Christ is the ark, because the Bride has been sealed outside, not inside. See instead the pattern of how the Lord God will remove a Bride from the fleshy fleshly Body and make them separate distinct entities. See also that the Body of Christ is put into a deep sleep when the Bride is about to be removed. Is the Body of Christ not being anesthetized?

In the account given in Luke 17, the days of the Son of Man are compared to the days of Noah and also the days of Lot. Don't skip over the fact that we're literally talking about time parallels here; "days of." In Lot's day, most were destroyed but a few were saved, those who had been sealed inside Lot's house when the visiting angels shut the door (Genesis 19:10-11). The parallel to when God shut the door of the ark should be obvious, when those appointed for salvation were sealed inside. (Genesis 7:13-16) For those saved in Lot's house, it was made so that the men of Sodom who had been struck with blindness could not even find the doorway. Think about it as a time-space ark that vanished from their sight, with undiscoverable access. When fire and brimstone rained down from heaven destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, those who had been sealed inside Lot's house had already escaped to safety. Just such an escape to the mountains for safety is appointed for some who live in Judea during megas thlipsis, whose flight will be triggered when they see the abomination of desolation, according to Matthew 24:15-20, where the connection is established with Daniel 12.

This is definitely not an academic exercise, here. This is what real prepping looks like, the receiving of timely help from the Lord Who opens our eyes and ears so we may find our way through the narrow door, or the martyr's reward, wherever our good Shepherd may lead.

I mentioned the model of the Passover a couple days ago, referencing it from Hebrews 11. This is a fundamental model. What I wrote in The Exodus Archetype is a useful collateral study, if you're not already familiar with it. The houses of the believing Hebrews were models of the ark of salvation. Those who were being saved had been obedient to select and slay a lamb. The lamb's blood was put on the posts and lintel of the doors, creating a blood seal. When destruction visited the land in the plague of the firstborn, those sealed inside were safe. They escaped destruction, making their way through the sea. When the Passover week was over, the Hebrews (crossing over) had been passed over by destruction, arriving safely on the other side. They passed through the sea in martial array, in ranks of 50. They emerged as victors of a time-war, in type; alive, completely whole, bearing with them the spoils of Egypt.

Other Pesah models of the space-time ark are easily found, like when Israel had been brought into Egypt about four centuries earlier.

Joseph had arranged to bring all his brothers to Egypt, announcing to them that the Lord had sent him ahead to provide salvation. (Genesis 45) See Joseph and Benjamin - Part I and Part II for more detail. He had brought them into his private chamber for a special meal. Egypt was then a type of heaven, and only Joseph and his brothers supped together in that heavenly compartment. Joseph sent every other man away. Joseph (Y'shua) commissioned the brothers (144k sons of Israel), and perhaps Benjamin (the Bride) with them, sending them on a mission to quickly bring Jacob-Israel back to Egypt, so the family could reside in a special place for protection from the famine, in Goshen, the best of Egypt. The prophetic modeling in that scenario was begun at Pesah, and I believe the mission was completed at Shavuot, Pentecost, the wheat harvest. As I understand Revelation 7, there is a megas thlipsis that extends out to the completion of that mission and the harvest of the great multitude of Wheat saints.

For another private Pesah dinner with Y'shua modeling the space-time ark, consider the upper room where Judas was revealed. The large upper room is a spacious heavenly chamber. The context features the looming threat from the religious persecutors, and the work of the betrayer.

1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching. 2 The chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people. 3 And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve. 4 And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might betray Him to them. 5 They were glad and agreed to give him money. 6 So he consented, and began seeking a good opportunity to betray Him to them apart from the crowd. 7 Then came the first day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.” 9 They said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare it?” 10 And He said to them, “When you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house that he enters. 11 And you shall say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’ 12 And he will show you a large, furnished upper room; prepare it there.” 13 And they left and found everything just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover. 14 When the hour had come, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him. 15 And He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” ~ Luke 22:1-16

If the timing on this scenario looks different from the account in John, there's a reason for that. Are you familiar with what I've been led to write about John 13? Efforts made by scholars to merge or harmonize the accounts have met with some success, but I believe multiple time frames serve the Lord's multiple agendas. Judas is named as one of the 12, and the inclusion of the time number draws our attention. The man carrying the water in the pitcher is a sign to them, and to us. Water signals time. The message to be conveyed identifies the Lord as “The Teacher.” Why? Listen up, students, because there's a lesson here. In Luke's account, we see selected aspects of the megas thlipsis being dramatized. Threats surround them, and the betrayer is present, and an active participant, until he's sent on his special mission. Yet they were safe. He calls that meal in the upper room, the Passover. It speaks to me further of the upcoming Pesah week. Why does the naming of Passover seem to be used so loosely with respect to time? Perhaps it has something to say about time being in flux, warping ....

Preparations were made in advance of when the Pascal lamb was slain and eaten. The first official preparation for the feast was made with a lamb being selected on the 10th day of the 1st month. That's pointing to March 31, 2015, if you're paying attention. Many elements of these several prophetic models are soon to be fulfilled. Stay alert and watch. Some models suggest a sealing in from the 15th through the 21st days, the duration of the Feast, like how Noah and the others were in the ark for a week before destruction came. With what light I have at present, others seem to suggest a separation and sealing a few days earlier, even on the 12th day. We suspect there are agendas being advanced with diverse groups of saints on differing schedules.

In Acts 12, we find one of my favorite Bride Theft scenarios. (Passing Through the Iron Gate) Here's another chapter numbered with the time number, 12. Peter, playing the role of the Bride of Christ in this prophetic allegory, had been isolated from the outside world. He alone was saved in this scenario. The prison as ark of salvation. Note that James was killed by the sword at the time when Peter was imprisoned, who was quite possibly modeling those of the Bride company appointed for martyrdom. Megas Thlipsis. Herod (meaning, heroic) is a type of the Antichrist, the new incarnation of the hero of old.

1 Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to mistreat them. 2 And he had James the brother of John put to death with a sword. 3 When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. Now it was during the days of Unleavened Bread. 4 When he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out before the people. 5 So Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer for him was being made fervently by the church to God. 6 On the very night when Herod was about to bring him forward, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards in front of the door were watching over the prison. 7 And behold, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter’s side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly.” And his chains fell off his hands. 8 And the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.” 9 And he went out and continued to follow, and he did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. 10 When they had passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened for them by itself; and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel departed from him. 11 When Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent forth His angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.” ~ Acts 12:1-11

That Acts 12 scenario is a cryptic time prophecy, which I was led to from the one in Genesis 45, and these both identify this third year of the Shemitah as the one appointed for the Bride Theft. This revelation insight represented an absolutely HUGE advance in the progressive unfolding to me of the chronology of the end times, and the way of its unfolding through metaphor and allegory. The Lord had prompted me to ask about what I only knew to call, "the rapture," back in the day. “If it's not at the beginning of the seven, when is it?” What followed was insight into Genesis 45:6, Luke 12:38 (there's that chapter number again) and Acts 12:10. The answer was, after two years, in the third. It was a count I related to the celestial sign of Yom Teruah, 1991.

“Guard,” in Acts 12:10, is the Greek word, phulake, the same word that is translated, “watch”, in Luke 12:38. The years of this Shemitah are the watches of the night.

Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves. ~ Luke 12:38

Phulake, is the word for, “watch,” in Matthew 24:43!

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. ~ Matthew 24:43

The verses that flank that one speak to me about the need to endure, staying vigilant, on the alert for further refinement in this season with our attention fixed on the Shepherd Himself! Have we really received The Love of The Truth? These are the proving hours.

There's more of these scenarios to be brought forth but I want to pause for some personal testimony. The Lord has been keeping it real, keeping it very personal with engaging interaction in a variety of familiar ways. Aside from the timely provision of tokens of glory and His quick response to our frequent petitions for help, He has been granting the meaning of some cryptic dreams and visions. Closure.

Here's a dream Aaron received on August 17, 2014. We hadn't been led to published it until now.

“I was in some place with my dad. It was a house or something. My mom was still gone. It was winter time. Looking outside I see mountains or hills with an incredible amount of snow and ice. I've found myself buried under snow and ice, trying to climb out, but I couldn't. At this point I'm not sure if I woke up, or whether the dream just changed.

It was the Superbowl, and there was a major upset of a very unusual kind something strange happened, but I don't know what. I tried to call someone to tell them about it, but it was a strange sort of phone like the kind you would find in a hotel in the 1990's. The cord was ripped out of the phone somehow. I remember seeing something like a pay phone booth with many people around in a state of extreme excitement.

At this point the dream shifted again and I was in some sort of large glass type building on a lower level double door with large panes of glass looking outside. I was with someone, or maybe more than one I don't know. I recalled there was still in extreme type of excited energy all around, but not necessarily a good, or happy kind.

The next thing I know I'm looking out of the large panes of glass on the double door and I see a massive wall of rushing water. I was able to hold the doors closed but the power of the water forced it open a crack and some water came in. I said, "Displaced by water and time." Then another massive wall of water came much larger and stronger than the first, and I and two others were washed away with me. I remember seeing the three of us being washed away by two large trees that look like palm trees, and someone said, "God will make a place for us."

Then I woke up.”

Until the Lord was pouring out more insight about water-as-time, in the context of the season when the Devil has control over time, we really didn't know what to make of most of the dream. Leading up to Super Bowl Sunday, 2/1/15, we remembered the dream in several conversations, wondering what it might mean. We didn't pay attention to the game when the day finally came but we did give attention to the half time show. The highly controversial results of the game seems to explain part of it, just part, but what we noted in the days and weeks that followed was how the day actually marked a significant transition. I'm not going to go into detail but a different season of personal preparation had arrived, one that made no sense unless it was the season of finality and closure. When the Lord more recently brought that dream to mind, when He was informing us about water-as-time in the context of the abbreviated “megas thlipsis,” we began to understand how it applied on both a personal and a more corporate level. This vague story will make more sense when we look at the Gospel accounts of storms on the sea of Galilee, but it's about time wars, the enemy's assault and our preparation and provision. There will be victory over death in that second wave, because, God will make a place for us, an ark of safety. The time war would destroy all flesh, but through the agency of the elect and while they are under special protection, those days of megas thlipsis will be cut short. Special ops, special provision.

While I was writing the previous paragraph, the Lord used a “phones” sign to validate the fitness of the presentation for Aaron and I. We need the Lord's help constantly in real time. That's how it is for those of us who are awake and alert. He had done it earlier with a War of the Worlds (1953) sign, involving another brother also who made timely contact.

19 So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed. ~ Mark 16:19-20

During the season of the initial outpouring of insight about megas thlipsis, the Lord reminded me of a vision-like experience I had back in 2005 or 6, when I heard a heavenly choir. I wrote about that back in November of 2013, in a post titled, Part 19 - Celestial Stargates - River and Serpent Symbolism. After Aaron and I had followed the Lord's leading to review many passages of scripture and connect many dots. He brought us to passages where storms were tossing the boats on the sea of Galilee. After that, maybe on the third or fourth day of all this latter rain drenching, He brought us to review the verse by verse comparison between John 13 and Revelation 13 and 14. (John 13 and Revelation 13 and 14 - Comparing Thirty-Eight Verse Pairs) When we got to John 13:21 == Revelation 14:3, The Lord reminded me of when I heard the heavenly choir.

As I reflected on that and the context of my hearing it, I occurred to me that theme of that special evening was, Rivers. My dear Mennonite brother Jacob and the children of his middle school class were singing a song about a river, and the Lord gave me to hear what it sounded like on the other side. It was awesome! The river of time - stargate opened to the heavenly realm.

The little town we were in was, Bangor, if I remember correctly. On the way there and back, we passed a casino that was associated with a local tribe of Maidu indians, the Tyme Maidu. Tyme ~ Time? Maidu, means, man. The local watershed is all about the Feather River and Lake Oroville, which was created by the Oroville Dam (at 770 feet high, it is the tallest dam in the U.S.). The “Feather” River. The Lord has been emphasizing to me over the last few days how rivers wind through the land like the path of a serpent. Feather River - Feathered Serpent - Amaru. Time flies like an arrow, which has feathers. Remember the posts about the Apple Clock sign and Uli John Roth - Tempus Fugit? Time Flies? Feathered animals typically fly, with feathered wings, symbols of beings with the ability to traverse dimensions. Oroville was formerly known as Ophir City. The nickname is still, City of Gold. Read Psalm 45 lately?

In that same post about the river and serpent symbolism where I told that story, I mentioned when I had been taken to a realm near the Throne of the Most High that I call the timeless place, and that experience must also be revisited here. That was unique, not being repeated to this very day. As led, you can read more about it here (Search The Open Scroll for "The Timeless Place" -- then use your ctrl-F browser search to find exactly where the phrase occurs in the large result page returned by the search.) Why was it a "hosted" time mission? Preview? As incredible as it seems, what led up to the experience lends it credibility. I had just returned from The Apostles Gathering in Anaheim, in 1999. I went there after my attendance was confirmed with a vivid sign that had to do with locking down the relationship between the Shemitah and the millennial cycles. It was all orchestrated by the Lord, and now, closure is being brought.

Shortly after The Apostles Gathering, I had an accident on the job and lost some fingers. Five days later, I had a dream that I have just gotten more insight into. More closure. You can read a little more about it here. My Accident on 11/2/99 and Dream on 11/7/99, but here's the bulk of it.

“I had a dream the Sunday night following my table saw accident. I was fighting a snake. It was a very short dream. The snake was very threatening and struggling to attack, but I placed the index finger of my left hand on the back of his head and pressed down. As much as he tried, the snake couldn't strike while I had my finger on him. I just used enough pressure to restrain him, but I must have realized that I couldn't just maintain this situation because the snake would have resumed his attack if I lifted my finger, so I pressed down really hard and held it. After a few moments the snake stopped struggling and became motionless, and, while that was happening I found myself aware that I was actually feeling pressure from my hand inside the cast. I had been pressing with my hand, even feeling the pressure on the tip of the index finger that I don't have anymore. I thought that was odd, and with that thought, I woke up somewhat, concerned whether or not I hurt my hand by doing that. (I wasn't supposed to do anything with my hand yet and I had been exerting a lot of pressure. I had cut off my fingers only 5 days earlier.) When I realized I didn't hurt myself, that I just had the lingering sensation of pressing with the tip of my index finger, I drifted back to sleep. In the dream, all I could see was the head of the snake facing to the right and my left hand and nothing else. When I was waking up and remembered this dream I thought about the snake, that it had been green, and that I must have killed him or put it out of threatening status.

When I got up, I told my wife my dream, not having given it much thought. She didn't comment on it because of the company we had visiting at the time. When I laid down for a nap later in the day, I remembered the dream and it startled me that I hadn't realized before that it was a prophetic dream. As to the interpretation; the snake is the devil, and the tip of my index finger I don't have any more is the Lord's power. By His power He will use me to destroy the power of the Serpent! This has been confirmed through a number of people who have spontaneously brought forth prophetic words. The evidence of this has been seen to a certain degree, and I believe it will be multiplied.”

Again, the Lord has been emphasizing to me over the past few days how rivers wind through the land like the path of a serpent or a traveling serpent. As I was writing the above bit about the heavenly choir, I came across the post, Part 19 - Celestial Stargates - River and Serpent Symbolism. Now I'm putting it together. The green snake has to do with time, and very specifically the megas thlipsis when the Serpent has control of time. Wow!

Have you read Greg's comment on a recent post? There's a sign.

More signs have come today, but enough for this post.

Megas Thlipsis - more Briefing

I closed the previous post with a reminder that the expression, “time, times and half a time” literally refers to time, multiplied time and fractional time. It's a simple description of a controlled wormhole, a portal through time-space domains. How is one time-space referential system changed relative to another? Consider what the time traveling tare, Mr. Darnell, had to say in the film, The Penitent Man (2010). “You harness a wormhole, speed up one end and slow down the other.”

A time, times, and half a time. A portal through time may be opened when a wormhole is harnessed: TIME. Speed up one end: TIMES. Slow down the other end: HALF A TIME. A time shift or differential is generated. Again, this is what the construct in Daniel 12:5-7 pictures, Revelation 12:14 and Matthew 24.

Explore and compare the contexts. This refers to the “megas thlipsis” and it's related to the abomination of desolation, when Satan has control over time and the ability to facilitate stargate transit.

26 And after the sixty and two weeks, cut off is Messiah, and the city and the holy place are not his, the Leader who hath come doth destroy the people; and its end [is] with a flood [WATER=TIME], and till the end [is] war [TIME WAR], determined [are] desolations. 27 And he hath strengthened a covenant with many -- one week, and [in] the midst of the week he causeth sacrifice and present to cease, and by the wing of abominations [WING - for interdimensional flight] he is making desolate, even till the consummation, and that which is determined is poured on the desolate one.'” ~ Daniel 9:26-27 (YLT)

Many false assumptions have been made from that passage, two of which are that a treaty with Israel is a sign and that “midst” means “mid-point.”

The Adversary knows this activity is coming, yet seeing only that which he must see to be able to accomplish the objectives that have been foreordained by the sovereign God. His time-shifting exploits will seal his fate.

Watch this clip from The Hunger Games - Catching Fire to see a bean-spilling view of “megas thlipsis.” The water is time. See the dial being twisted that controls time keeping, which is being used as the metaphor for time itself as it unfolds within the domed habitat where the games are played.

The Hunger Games - Catching Fire - Spinning Cornucopia

Hickory Dickory Dock ...“The mouse ran up the clock,” goes the nursery rhyme being repeated by the traumatized woman. Sequenced deadly plagues are in view, like in Egypt prior to the Pesah and exodus. When he's done, the Gamemaker, in a separate control room outside their space-time domain (like the man in linen above the waters of the river in Daniel 12), gives the technician direction: “Okay. That's enough. Let's see how they tell time now.” The clock, or time itself within their domain, is reset. Plutarch Heavensbee is the Gamemaker character's name. “Plutarch,” was a Greek then Roman historian, famous for authoring, “Parallel Lives.” “Heavensbee:” The Bee goddess, Queen of the heavenly hive - facilitating the life and dimensional transiting. The heroine, Katniss Everdeen, was cast into the tumultuous waters, being shifted from one hour-time zone of the clock to another after many revolutions.

Of just that film alone, like with The Penitent Man, post after post after post could be written with a focus on the coming time-space ark and megas thlipsis scenarios.

There are different referential systems in play. One sees the sequential flow of time progressing day by day “in real time” it could be said. Another sees time truncated, where it suddenly becomes the future, kind of how it seems when you wake up from a sound sleep. Like how lightning can flash in a moment of time, the zigs and zags may be appear instantaneously. Time, times and half a time. Non-linear flow. In one time frame, events seem accelerated into the future, in another, as into the past, or slowed, even paused.

One scenario of megas thlipsis has to do with Satan's falling like lightning (Luke 10:18) in a forked path from heaven to earth, diagrammed like tracing a zig and a zag time vector.

In Occult media, a demonstration of a facet of this can be seen in I, pet goat II - from Heliofant. In the segment of the official video spanning 1:45-2:05, pay attention to the clock tower pointing at 12 o-clock. Keep an eye on the the clock tower because it's identified with the lightning in the Bible verse referencing grafitti. The very moment we see the clock tower+lightning (“Back to the Future”) swung around in the pan-and-zoom motion to align with the leaper, down into the sea he goes! Clock as time, with the time number 12 showing. Water as time. The lightning “time-vector change” symbol is associated with the clock tower (implying also the church bell facilitating a dimensional transit), so when that lines up with the leaper he immediately falls from heaven to earth into the water-time symbol. The leaper is Satan, cast out of heaven as in Revelation 12. He then manifests as the Beast, seen by John in Revelation 13:1 as rising from the sea - from out of time, from biblical history.

For the lawless one to be revealed, a time-space portal must open for the Antichrist anointing (Horus birth-resurrection), an “unrestraining” event that permits his emergence from the underworld realm. That initial “zig” of the time line path manifests at the opening of the portal, and control over time-space has been acquired. It must be said that, despite what it will look like, the sovereign God remains sovereign, and everything will be unfolding according to His plan. The time mission appointed through the agency of the elect involves an intervention, a seizing back of control because there's a fixed limit and specific condition that must exist when this is over. The elect will be sealed in the ark of sorts, a special containment zone of time-space. According to the language of Matthew 24:22, those days are cut short. This resetting of the time line happens from one perspective at the end of Pesah, which I've been referring to as the “zag” of the zig-zag path. So, between the zig and zag are those days which are cut short. That, very specifically is megas thlipsis, the great tribulation.

The school of I, pet goat II's scene appears like a church because there's a lesson here, fellow students. Like Psalm 23:2 declares, “...He leads me beside quiet waters.” In this season there will be quiet waters, where time is undisturbed, for those led to this place by the Lord, our Shepherd.

Read the whole Psalm. It's applicable during megas thlipsis!

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. 3 He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and loving kindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. ~ Psalm 23

Those Days of Great Tribulation are Probably not what you Think

During the last week or so, Aaron and I have been getting closure on many things that have great import. The Lord is being so kind in keeping us grounded, a necessary provision for keeping it real in a season that would otherwise seem quite surreal. You may be able to relate to an observation I expressed in a recent email about this intense season, that it's, almost like we're supernatural schizophrenics - bi-polar in the Lord because the contrasting emotions are strong - but yet with a sound mind and steadfast awareness of the Lord's comforting presence. There is, on one hand, a lightness and jubilation with a deep refreshing brought by the Lord, while alternately there is the feeling the Lord Himself also shares of the profound burdens for those on the other side of judgment. This breadth and depth of emotional connectness is a requirement for the work.

What I'm about to share in this post isn't going to be readily grasped by most folks. It should raise more questions than it answers. In the previous post, I introduced some insight about a time metaphor that was collateral to a key revelation insight about Matthew 24:22 that was granted a week ago yesterday. Through it, the Lord brought Aaron and I to a deeper understanding of the days that lie ahead. I've declared how The Open Scroll and Beyond The Veil is a Noah's Ark kind of work, appointed for salvation, and that comparison is more descriptive than you might suppose. While some have testified how it has already brought them to salvation in Y'shua, the core of the work is appointed for a very special season that is nearly upon us.

For several days in a row, Aaron had been obsessing over Matthew 24:22. He had been pressing in to discover why the Lord had fixated him on that, coming to the Lord's clear prompting of the question, “What days?”

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. ~ Matthew 24:21-22

We didn't know where this was going to go but we have learned that the Lord always prompts a question He intends to answer, then provides insight at the proper time. He has been engaging Aaron and I as a team, independently first, then together - a routine that is not at all unfamiliar. Clearly, we were missing something important. On March 15th, we reflected on an email exchange with a brother in the Lord named Paul, had some prayer and a season of discussion. The time had come. The Lord brought us to the short answer to the driving question: The days that will be cut short are those when the Devil has control over time. This conclusion brought some startling insight about the hidden meaning of verse 21's “great tribulation,” megas thlipsis in the Greek. We began to explore the immediate context of Matthew 24 with this in mind and then tracked the thread into related passages as the Lord shined the brighter Light. I can't say that this insight has invalidated everything we thought we knew about great tribulation, but this fresh insight and the validation that has followed is so compelling we find it irresistible.

While some declare that seven years are identified with great tribulation, and others, half that, there is a reality where it will only last for about a week. Bear with me, there's a lot of ground to be covered on this point. That week is this upcoming Feast of Pesah, also known as Hag haMatzot. This version or fulfillment of megas thlipsis will conclude on the last day, which is now known to be April 11, 2015. In a wider sense, the 9 days inclusive of the 13th to the 21st might even be considered megas thlipsis.

This span is measured according to one particular referencial system. If you consider what I noted in the previous post about Daniel 12:5-7, this measure is from the perspective of someone on one bank of the river of time. From another perspective and dimensional consideration, time itself will be in flux, disconnected and non-linear, until it is anchored once again and synchronized to the time-space domain on the other side of the river of time, so to speak. The Dragon is going to have control over time and be permitted to make some changes within appointed limits but not everyone and everything will be impacted and under his control. The Sovereign God's domain is exempt, of course, and those whom He has isolated and insulated, who are sealed as in a time-space bubble, an ark of salvation.

This is food served at the proper time. We've been blogging about an upcoming time mission for years. We recently saw it in connection with the last day of this coming Pesah, and now the Lord has shined a greater light on its context.

A simple illustration is provided by a classic film from 1960, The Time Machine.

The Time Machine (1960) -Time Differential



It's presented here as the man in the time machine traveling into the future. The principle involved is that a time-space referential system is separated from another when there is flux, a time differential, then they are rejoined with a potentially out of sync condition.

I could go on for months detailing and documenting these things, but there are only a couple weeks remaining so I won't be doing that - at least not on the blog or in this body as things are today. So, explore these things further, or not, as led. If it's for you, the Lord will open it to you and shine His spotlight. The Lord has diverse plans for the members of His Body, which at present includes His Bride people. All you personally need to get and give is just what He has for you, as an individual member. I note how some with Dr. Stephen Jones (author of Secrets of Time in Prophecy) have been planning for a well timed mission: Decree to Commission the Overcomers for Coronation (March 21, 2015). “Heavenly Father, at Your direction we DECREE the commissioning of Your Saints for their formal coronation in the United Kingdom of God at Passover 2015. ” We don't need to have an overview of everything the Lord is doing. We just need to mind our own business, whatever it happens to be, seeking the Lord's help to be attentive and faithful to the tasks at hand. We servants can trust that our Master has things well in hand.

What's about to manifest is a time war - turf war, where heavenly time-space domains are at stake. You fight fire with fire, as the expression goes, and you fight time with time. I know it sounds crazy, but this is what it looks like to Aaron and I, and we can't deny that what the Lord has been doing in this season makes it quite compelling. Since 2008, I've written about a pending anti-flood, describing the Adversary's avenging of his fallen angels with a prison break. He has to spring the time lock with a dam buster, releasing the reservoir of water-time to flood this realm. That can't come without the agent for such first getting hold of the key to unlock the abyss. Apollyon-Abaddon-Shiva-Horus is appointed as the Dragon's agent. He will succeed but only in part. See him as the sovereign God's agent, a servant with a mission, and also see time itself as a servant construct. The Lord God I serve is the Lord and master of time, and it is His will that is ultimately being fulfilled in all this. As inconceivable as a time mission might seem, the Lord has chosen to involve human agents in His plan. It's not really very different from what happened in Joshua's long day.

12 Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, “O sun, stand still at Gibeon, and O moon in the valley of Aijalon.” 13 So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies. Is it not written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. 14 There was no day like that before it or after it, when the Lord listened to the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel. ~ Joshua 10:12-14

Where else have we seen such a reference to the uniqeness of a situation with time manipulation in a war?

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. ~ Matthew 24:21-22

Have you read Jasher 6 and Genesis 7? When Noah went in the ark the Lord sealed it shut. Those inside were protected. Seven days later, the waters of a great flood brought destruction to those outside the ark. See the water as time. Those sealed inside were saved. Ruminate on that model. They were sealed inside a time-space ark. Compare the context of Jasher 6:18 to that of Luke 13:25.

Here's two more examples, primary models involving the first Pesah.

28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them. 29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned. ~ Hebrews 11:28-29

Passover = pass over, the agent of destruction passes over the protected zone of people without touching those sealed in with the blood of the lamb. The blood on the doorpost and lintel sealed in the occupants during the plague of the firstborn. That kind of plague indicates a selection by sequence, by time - the firstborn, and a limit is established according to sequence and time. The water as time metaphor is seen in the passing through of the sealed and healed people on dry land through the midst of the sea. Waters stood in a heap as on the banks of a river, inverted. The wind was involved, spirit, and also the agency of Moses. Passing through time, which subsequently destroyed the pursuing army. Time wars - We're not making this stuff up! The people were sealed in with the blood applied on the 14th day of the first month. The firstborn were struck and the midnight cry went up on the 15th day. It is accepted that the crossing through the sea came with its salvation-destruction on the last day of the feast, the day with the numbering of the fullness of time, the 21st.

The passage from Hebrews 11 continues with another model, which begins shortly after the circumcision and first Pesah celebrated in the promised land.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days. ~ Hebrews 11:30

At the shouting and blowing of trumpets the walls fell flat. 1 Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians 15 should come to mind.

Now, consider the word translated tribulation in Matthew 24:21.

Strongs Concordance G2347: “thlípsis” – properly, pressure (what constricts or rubs together), used of a narrow place that "hems someone in"; tribulation, especially internal pressure that causes someone to feel confined (restricted, "without options").

Thlipsis is used of a narrow place that hems someone in. Take it literally. Hemmed in a narrow place, as having passed through the narrow gate into a confined place of protection - sealed in like an ark.

22 And He was passing through from one city and village to another, teaching, and proceeding on His way to Jerusalem. 23 And someone said to Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” And He said to them, 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ then He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ 26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; 27 and He will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from; depart from Me, all you evildoers.’ 28 In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves being thrown out. 29 And they will come from east and west and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God. 30 And behold, some are last who will be first and some are first who will be last.” ~ Luke 13:22-30

Within a couple weeks, we believe most will fall prey to a great hoax, not having received the love of the truth so as to be saved. Others, found trustworthy and therefore not needing to be written to about times and epochs, will not be taken by surprise. They will be sealed in, protected during megas thlipsis as having entered through the narrow door. I had previously concluded that the saints with soiled robes would find themselves locked out when the Bride is stolen away, but we see now that her separation comes earlier, when the living are sealed as in an ark. Some will die, as a blood sacrifice, martyred, but some will live and enter “The Time Machine,” in a sense, a pocket universe, a time-space ark. I have much more to convey about this.

The Lord drew my attention several years ago to a time pivot in the language of the passage in Matthew 24, and that led to Aaron's revelation insight when we met and discussed verse 22 in July-August of 2011. His attention was drawn to the word "sake," which is translated from the Greek preposition dia. What it really informs us about is the Lord's working through the agency of the elect so that all life or flesh will not be destroyed, but rather saved. How could that possibly be? Because a time war is that big of a threat.

Consider the time pivot, how the tense swings from before the fulcrum event to after it, then returns back again. It signals a time shift.

21 for there shall be then great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world till now [the PAST], no, nor may be [the FUTURE]. 22 And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved [now looking back from the future into the past]; but because of the chosen, shall those days be shortened.[now looking ahead to the event]~ Matthew 24:21-22 (YLT)

The time shift is appointed for salvation, and the Lord involves His elect in this time war. The period of megas thlipsis, when Satan has control over time, will be truncated, specifically limited. The Bride together with 144k sons of Israel will be in a protected zone or zones. You might think I'm making this up, scripting a fanciful sci-fi adventure but I'm quite serious. There's scriptures that picture this in prophetic allegory, and it's been modeled over and over in literature and in multimedia presentations. Some will be sealed in a time machine of sorts, in a protective bubble, around which will flow the destroying influence of the time warp.

The following passage about the one who will be a star in the big show doesn't say that he will intend to make alterations in the measurement of times. There's a difference. He will be granted success.

25 He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time. 26 But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever. 27 Then the sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.’ 28 “At this point the revelation ended. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts were greatly alarming me and my face grew pale, but I kept the matter to myself.” ~ Daniel 7:25-27

There's the linguistic construct of “time, times and half a time” again, like in Daniel 12:7 and Revelation 12:14. Remember, the expression, “time, times and half a time” literally refers to time, multiplied time and fractional time. It's actually a cryptic description of a wormhole!

More to follow, Lord willing!
