As the evidence suggesting the schedule for the pending time reset continues to pile up, with this study of an account from the book of Joshua we seem to have reached a milestone, a sealing of the deal, as we know it. Perhaps you will agree, as the spirit bears witness. Although this is being presented without a lot of fanfare this really is something we're celebrating! This insight has been attended by still more signs.
We're going to focus our attention on the dramatic account of the crossing of the Jordan (Joshua 3-4) that marks the end of the period of Israel's wandering in the wilderness and their entrance into the promised land. This notable transition was punctuated by some very significant miracles and ritual activity. We've already written at some length about this crossing of the Jordan at flood stage and how the Ark of the Covenant and the moving of the stones was a ritual changing of the flow of the river of time. While supplemental study might not be required for you, here's a few pertinent studies you may want to become familiar with because we're drawing on a substantial foundation.
We have discovered that the most intriguing verse in the account exhibits The Keystone Pattern (three things then the fourth) in a profound way, being concealed in the text like buried treasure. The introduction to this account also exhibits the keystone pattern and further supplements it with a very subtle weaving together of the themes of space and time. This is significant because the subject matter is a series of space-time rituals of epic proportion. This account takes place within the larger context of another keystone pattern with such an alignment that it must be seen as fractal, a concise keystone fractal! These things we address in this study speak so loudly to us about the reality of our situation as we approach such a momentous occasion in the history of our redemption! We are about to transition into the season of, in a figure, the conquest of the promised land!
The keystone pattern appears in a very straightforward manner in the opening verses of Joshua 3.
1 Then Joshua rose early in the morning; and he and all the sons of Israel set out from Shittim and came to the Jordan, and they lodged there before they crossed. 2 At the end of three days the officers went through the midst of the camp; 3 and they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God with the Levitical priests carrying it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it. 4 However, there shall be between you and it a distance of about 2,000 cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you shall go, for you have not passed this way before.” 5 Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” ~ Joshua 3:1-5
Three days pass from the time they set out from Shittim to camp at the Jordan. Then, they cross over on the 4th day according to the well established pattern that speaks of this (first) shemitah spanning from 2012 to 2019. This is no small matter because they had anticipated entering the promised land since they left Egypt 40 years earlier! It's a bigger deal still because they modeled our time as a dramatic pre-enactment! This prophecy is about to be fulfilled, which bears witness to our present shemitah and the next and the transition between them. We believe what they did then resonates through time, and we mean that expression to be taken literally!
Before we start digging deeply into the account, let's take a step back to see how the fractal design appears when we consider the keystone of Joshua's introduction to the account of the crossing in the larger context of Israel's journey from Egypt to the promised land.
A very brief sketch was offered in this study, The Keystone Pattern - Three Things Then the Fourth: Acts 7 - Led by Moses (40+40+40) then Joshua. Expanding somewhat on that, we consider how Joshua assumed leadership of Israel after Moses died (Deuteronomy 34). Moses lived 120 years. This is suggestive because 120 is the time number 12 multiplied by 10, which is to say, amplified. Taking the hint, we give our attention to his life span and note that his life neatly divides into 3 equal 40 year segments. He was born in Egypt and remained there for 40 years until he fled for his life to Midian (Exodus 2). After living there for 40 years, Moses led Israel out of Egypt in the exodus. He led Israel in the wilderness until his death, 40 years later. We might ask why his amplified-time numbered life exhibited 3 equal divisions, and so we should! While there may be other reasons, one of them has to do with how Moses' life is a prophetic model, about time! The name of Moses means, drawing out, and he was the agent appointed to lead Israel out of Egypt and up to but not into the promised land. The privilege of leading them in was Joshua's. He followed Moses, with his distinctive 3-fold life-age, as a 4th in series. Under Joshua's leadership the promise to bring Israel into their inheritance was fulfilled. Okay, not yet completely but up to the limit appointed for that season. So it is that Joshua leads Israel into the promised land according to the keystone pattern.
The fractal of the keystone within the keystone appears when we recognize how Joshua's leading of Israel into the promised land is the 4th unit following the preparatory 3 of Moses' life, and consider how the river crossing that marks that monumental transition happens on the 4th day after 3 days of prep. There's another keystone example in this fractal, one that is not so easily found.
This treasure involves a verse that has been the focus of our attention for a while, Joshua 4:9. The keystone pattern is embedded in the thematic structure of the text. We first published an interactive presentation of the thematic structure of Joshua 3-4 back in September of 2015. During the process of researching for this Part 15 of the series, I revisited that version and found it lacking. I was led to seek the Lord again for help and He answered - and with the addition of the 1st verse of chapter 5 and a little refinement the result is now satisfactory. Completely. I have a level of confidence that is certainly bolstered by the receiving of the kind of insights that bear witness to Aaron and I that the Lord has indeed brought this result. We have the impression that we have, during the course of this study, reached a milestone in this series with a "sealing of the deal." To that, I must add, "at least in part," because we don't know what validation is yet to come.
We're excited to present this new interactive presentation of the work. Please spend some time exploring this with hover-over highlighting of the pairings and the pop-up commentary.
There is much more to be written and, Lord willing, we will continue with fresh insight expounding on the crossing of the Jordan and on the matter of the revelation of the schedule of the pending reset of time and the signs that are attending it!
While we continue giving our attention to this core of what we're here to do, our web traffic plummets but the Lord continues to provide for the work. For those of you who are still paying attention, we depend on each other, to be sure, and we are so grateful for the continuing opportunity to seek and find the Lord together and to serve with you in this increasingly strange season.
I visited Aaron recently and we went to the theater to see Avengers: Infinity War. We weren't disappointed. It was entertaining and engaging in many ways, but for our purposes that's of little consequence. We were there to see whatever it was the Lord would reveal and what we perceived was mind boggling. These Marvel/Disney productions are typically some of the most timely and bean-spilling. If you haven't seen it, you can search IMDB and wikipedia and read reviews to your satisfaction.
What makes this film worth our time to blog about is how the winning strategy employed by the Most High God in these last days is just put right out there! While still more detail remains hidden from us, we'll explain what we do understand about how the plan is hidden in plain sight.
* Spoiler alert *
The plot is complex and there are several themes. This is the 3rd film of 4 in the planned set and it might be considered as a part 1 of a 2 part climax, as suggested by this pre-release movie poster. There's so much we could say about this significant and timely film but we're going to limit our focus. The theme of sacrifice appears throughout the film, and the kinds of sacrifices that are made by several characters take different forms. The key is in how the sacrifices made are strategic. In the film, it is explained that each one of the six Infinity Stones embodies and controls a fundamental aspect of existence. There is a Time Stone that is, not surprisingly, the key to victory. It's not just the possession of the Time Stone that proves to be critical but rather the strategic use of it and the willingness to make the sacrifices required along the way.
The films and TV shows in "the Marvel Universe" cross-reference and build upon each other. The Avengers: Infinity War film draws heavily upon the 2016 film titled, Doctor Strange, and this excerpt from Wikipedia offers some useful background.
"Time Stone (Green): The Time Stone was encased in the Eye of Agamotto by Earth's first sorcerer, Agamotto. A Master of the Mystic Arts can use the Stone to alter and manipulate time. Thousands of years later, in Doctor Strange, Dr. Stephen Strange learns to use the Eye and uses it to save the Earth from Dormammu by trapping the demon in a time loop until he abandons his plans for Earth. The Masters of the Mystic Arts retain possession of the Eye in their secret compound Kamar-Taj in Kathmandu, Nepal. During the events of Avengers: Infinity War, Strange uses the Time Stone to look into future timelines; viewing millions of possible outcomes of their conflict with Thanos. Strange later surrenders the stone to Thanos in exchange for him sparing Tony Stark's life."
When Thanos receives the Time Stone in trade he goes after the last remaining Infinity Stone. He's a little too late because it's in the process of being destroyed. So, he uses the power of the Time Stone to rewind time just enough to un-destroy it and complete his collection. With all 6 stones, Thanos snaps his fingers and half of the population of the universe is wiped out - mission accomplished. That's what the Avengers were hoping to avoid. With many of the Avengers included in the numbers of the lost, it's not a great result.
Why didn't Strange use the power to rewind or reset time while he still had the Time Stone? Why would he just let Thanos have it, knowing its power - especially when combined with the other Infinity Stones? In the 2016 film, Doctor Strange, the titular character was able to save earth from Dormammu with a strategic use of the Time Stone. The writers of fiction make up the rules and plots as they go along for the sake of drama, and they're not going to reuse the same strategy twice, so Strange can't use the looping time reset to lock his adversary into a stalemate as a bargaining chip. For our benefit, they are going to spill even more beans about the unfolding of this very real war of the last days! The willing forfeit of the Time Stone was a strategic sacrifice that was so significant that it gave the appearance that the battle that decides the war had just been lost.
Here's a video with an explanation that is very useful, so I scripted part of it below.
Infinity War - WHAT WAS DOCTOR STRANGE'S PLAN? (Eric Voss and "New Rockstars" channel) "... so, Strange bargains with Thanos, trading the time stone if Thanos spares Tony Stark's life. ... Tony asks Strange, why? And Strange says, "We're in the end game now" ... Strange intended on Thanos getting the time stone. He knew it had to happen. This was all part of the one possible successful outcome he envisioned. ... See, by "end game" Strange was referring to chess. The end game of any chess match is marked by the moment both sides start to make major but necessary concessions to close in on their opponent. You give up your queen or that knight you've always had a soft spot for, so that you can move forward in leading the other side to their inevitable defeat. Now, these aren't random losses by oversight or bad tactics. These are planned strategic sacrifices that hurt but you've got to make them to get to the W (win). So that is what Dr Strange is doing by giving up the time stone. He knew from the moment he flipped the pages to the end of this choose-your-own-adventure book that Thanos would end up with all 6 Infinity Stones no matter what they tried - but - but - but - he needed to make sure this battle went a particular way."
What Eric Voss referred to in the video above as Doctor Strange's flipping the pages to the end of this choose-your-own-adventure book was a meditation session where Strange viewed the future and considered the possible outcomes of their conflict with Thanos. That was a brilliant strategy for the use of the Time Stone because Strange can subsequently use this knowledge as a guide to the victorious outcome. We're told that only 1 of the 14,000,605 possible outcomes is a winner, but 1 is sufficient. Strange foresees the future and is able to map out the critical path to ultimate victory and, very importantly, his adversary does not exploit the power of the Time Stone to gain this advantage.
The wisdom Doctor Strange exhibits in his limited use of the Time Stone appears in this key passage of scripture.
8 Remember this, and be assured; Recall it to mind, you transgressors. 9 Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, ‘My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’;~ Isaiah 46:8-10
God can declare the end from the beginning because He knows the end from the beginning. His purpose will be established. You can punctuate that with a period or an exclamation mark. There are no other "possible outcomes" - only what will be. In contrast, the Adversary is a created being. He has knowledge of the future but this is limited in ways that result in his only ever serving the Sovereign God's purposes. This is being modeled to us in the allegorical plot of the Infinity War film. In the conflict where Doctor Strange and the Avengers fight to defend the universe against the conquering Thanos with his evil minions, the ever familiar good vs evil plot is crafted to put a strategic secret of the real end game on display.
Here's the message that we receive. When things look bad for the Most High God and those who are His, you should see past the appearance. Even if it looks like Satan has seized control of time. This compares to how Thanos took possession of the Time Stone. Things look bad already, and they really are bad. The Mandela Effect touches even on the changing of the biblical text! The schedule of biblical prophecy has been skewed in such a way that judgment has been deferred or skirted entirely! Things will look much worse (some examples will be offered), and they will be much worse - even and especially after time will have been reset! But yet, appearances are deceiving. Take comfort in the awareness of the truth, that these are strategic moves. The sacrifices made must be weighed in view of the greater context! (Scriptures to follow - so stay with us here.) God knows the end from the beginning and still He made the being we know as Satan. Maybe He knows something you don't know about how this all unfolds. It may be said that Satan is a servant construct. Do you trust the Creator's goodness, and that he is both sovereign AND just? That's a combo that few ever get their minds wrapped around. All is not yet manifest in this age, but there are ages to come through which God's goodness will manifest to His glory!
Whether the Adversary realizes that he has crafted the story of the secret of his own demise, well, you would think he would know, wouldn't you, with him being so incredibly smart. And here we are, even highlighting what we know of it for special attention! Can he not perceive the truth of the matter and use this knowledge to change his tactics and thwart the plan? In a word, no. Here's a comforting scripture about strategic sacrifice and the guarding of foreknowledge of the end game.
6 Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; 7 but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; 8 the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;~ 1 Corinthians 2:6-8
They did crucify the Lord of glory and in doing so their defeat was assured. They cannot understand what is not given them to understand - not then and not now! Friends, have confidence in the Lord's ability to watch over his valuable secrets. He is the concealer and He is the revealer. These are disclosed only to the trustworthy on something of a need-to-know basis - and some of us are trustworthy and we do need to know!
We're going to show that there is knowledge of ancient truth underlying the film. We're going to present Thanos as the Enemy Satan and the Enemy Death in this allegory. But first, you should know there is no purity in the depiction of Dr Strange and the Avengers as God and His agents.
Dr. Strange is a wizard who practices magic, which is forbidden in the holy scriptures. The Eye of Agamotto that is the receptacle of the Time Stone is as the All-Seeing Eye that is honored by the Illumined of this age, which counterfeits the genuine. "In designing the Eye, Ditko drew inspiration from the real world charm The All Seeing Eye of the Buddha, known among Buddhists as The Amulet of Snail Martyrs, a Nepali symbol meant to protect its wearer against evil." (Wikipedia) Buddha is not the true God or His agent of truth. Each one of the Avengers has likable traits and character that is noble, of course, but every one of them is fundamentally modeling antichrist and the agents of evil. These things are overlooked in the seeing through the smoke and mirrors and flips and spins of twisting symbolism to discern the valuable modeling.
The name of the villain is Thanos, which may be seen as a contraction of the Greek word for death, thanatos. THAN(at)OS models Death, or is a god of death, something which was recently played up in the 2017 Marvel film, Thor: Ragnarok, where Thor's older sister was the goddess of death. But this identification of Thanos of Titan is not overt.
The last enemy to be destroyed is death. ~ 1 Corinthians 15:26
14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.~ Hebrews 2:14-15
Thanos models the devil, Satan himself- which should be no big surprise.
The concept of the Infinity Stones has a legitimacy to it. Consider that the 12 stones set in array in the breastplate of the Aaronite High Priest of Israel were not merely ornamental. The number 12 is recognized as a time number and these were worn on the occasion of the annual meeting with the Most High God at the Ark of the Covenant in the Temple's Most Holy Place.
The following scripture offers insight into the basis for the allegorical Avengers' plots.
11 Again the word of the Lord came to me saying, 12 “Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “You had the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 “You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The ruby, the topaz and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx and the jasper; The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; And the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, Was in you. On the day that you were created They were prepared. 14 “You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 “You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created Until unrighteousness was found in you. 16 “By the abundance of your trade You were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire. 17 “Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I put you before kings, That they may see you. 18 “By the multitude of your iniquities, In the unrighteousness of your trade You profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you; It has consumed you, And I have turned you to ashes on the earth In the eyes of all who see you. 19 “All who know you among the peoples Are appalled at you; You have become terrified And you will cease to be forever.”’”~ Ezekiel 28:11-19
Thanos had to acquire all 6 Infinity Stones to complete his mission. If this meaning was veiled at all, it represented his ascension to the throne of the Most High God.
"The Infinity Gems, originally referred to as Soul Gems and later referred to as Infinity Stones, are six immensely powerful fictional gems appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Whoever holds and uses all six Gems gains omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience. The six primary Gems are the Mind Gem, the Soul Gem, the Space Gem, the Power Gem, the Time Gem and the Reality Gem. In later storylines, crossovers and other media, a seventh Gem is sometimes added." ~ Wikipedia
Thanos as Satan is a wannabe God. Compare his role in Infinity War to the following passage.
12 “How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! 13 “But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. 14 ‘I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ 15 “Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit. 16 “Those who see you will gaze at you, They will ponder over you, saying, ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms, 17 Who made the world like a wilderness And overthrew its cities, Who did not allow his prisoners to go home?’ 18 “All the kings of the nations lie in glory, Each in his own tomb. 19 “But you have been cast out of your tomb Like a rejected branch, Clothed with the slain who are pierced with a sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit Like a trampled corpse. 20 “You will not be united with them in burial, Because you have ruined your country, You have slain your people. May the offspring of evildoers not be mentioned forever. 21 “Prepare for his sons a place of slaughter Because of the iniquity of their fathers. They must not arise and take possession of the earth And fill the face of the world with cities.”~ Isaiah 14:12-23
We note that the one love of his life was an adopted daughter named Gamora. She was green skinned (like Osiris), and green is accepted by many in the occult as Satan's color. Gamora - think, Gomorrah, the sister city of Sodom, consumed together in a judgment of fire and brimstone. (Genesis 19) Thanos, the god of the sodomites, the one true love of his life being Gamora-Gomorrah. Think Superman and his great loves: Lois Lane (anagram soil-dirt road) and Lana Lang (anal "anal" and anal g(c)nal)
There are some legends that bear mention that offer more insight into what's behind the story of Infinity War.
The Time Stone is green, like a fiery emerald. There is a legend that an emerald fell to earth from the crown of Satan during the war in heaven. Adam is claimed to have possessed the stone in Eden, being forced to leave it behind after his expulsion from the garden. Seth, the son of Adam, is claimed to have recovered it and brought it out but its whereabouts are unknown. How much truth there is in any of that, or what might be based on truth, I don't pretend to know. It does seem relevant, especially when you link the gauntlet (special glove) with Satan's crown. The Infinity War film made a big point of how the gauntlet had been forged by a dwarf in the fire of a dying star. When you consider how Cain (Eve's but not Adam's son) may have been a miner instead of a farming kind of tiller of the earth, and a master jeweler and metal smith, some things may begin to make a lot more sense.
When you consider the worship of things that fell from heaven, you really can't dismiss the Kaaba and the legendary meteorite in Mecca.
In closing there are a few things we encourage you to give thought to. As stated earlier, things look bad now and they are going to look far worse. But this is strategic and these things must be so. Do not be deceived by appearances.
3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. 5 Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?~ 2 Thessalonians 2:3-5
A pretender sitting on the throne in the temple of God? Really? Yes! It's more than "just a show" but again, it is necessary in the strategy that will culminate in the greatest salvation possible.
Consider these passages of scripture.
12 For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time.” 13 And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. 14 But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she *was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon poured out of his mouth. 17 So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.~ Revelation 12:12-17
The river of time. A refuge that is a pocket universe. The devil does not yet know that he has only a short time - but he will!
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; 13 but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation. 14 If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 15 Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler; 16 but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And if it is with difficulty that the righteous is saved, what will become of the godless man and the sinner? 19 Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right.~ 1 Peter 4:12-19
10 As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, 11 seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look. 13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, 15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16 because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”~ 1 Peter 1:10-15
16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23 And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. 24 For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.~ Romans 8:16-25
God is in control of His creation yet it will appear that He is not. His people will suffer grave consequences and it will seem to many that hope is lost. The adversary will have the illusion of victory for a season. But while the losses are substantial, the Creator knows the end from the beginning and what looks like loss and defeat and humiliation will ultimately be revealed as gain and victory and glorification.
Hang in there, folks. God has a work in progress that is succeeding! The pending reset of time is part of the plan. Your efforts are not in vain. We thank you for supporting us and this work of the hour. We love you!
We have been seeing the pending reset of time embedded in many books of the Bible. Some examples appear very openly and simply but others are more complex or less superficial in their embedding. In this installment we're going to explore the latter kind.
The extended keystone pattern appears in the book of Genesis as Jacob's sons travel to Egypt to buy grain during the famine. If you read the account in Genesis 42-46 and count their round trips you'll discover that the sum is only 2 1/2, the half being due to the fact that they don't return to Canaan on the final trip. But God doesn't always account things in plain ways! We recommend reading those chapters now because we're going to proceed on the assumption that they are fresh in mind.
You'll be even better prepared if you're already familiar with the remarkable prophetic allegory presented in these studies: Joseph and Benjamin - Part I and Part II. The famine responsible for these trips between Canaan and Egypt was featured in Part 2 of this series so you may want to revisit that to refresh your memory. Of the examples we've covered so far, that record of the 7 years of plenty being eaten up by 7 years of famine may perhaps be the most foundational.
Let's begin the esoteric accounting of Jacob's sons' journeys during the great famine.
The famine is already severe so Jacob sends his sons to Egypt to buy grain. The first trip is pretty straightforward. Excepting Benjamin, the remaining 10 sons of Jacob leave the family home in Canaan. (Genesis 42:1-5) They arrive in Egypt and are engaged by Joseph, whom they don't recognize as their brother. Simeon is detained as a hostage and the 9 are sent home but are told not to return without Benjamin. (Genesis 42:26-29)
The beginning of the 2nd trip is recorded in Genesis 43:15, but that's not how we're going to count it. Because Jacob wasn't willing to risk losing Benjamin there has been a significant delay. Judah makes the following comment, and we're going to take that as a hint.
For if we had not delayed, surely by now we could have returned twice.”~ Genesis 43:10
He's not just making conversation. He's dropping a clue. The concept of returning is highlighted, and we're counting those suggested by Judah as 2 more trips of the same kind as the 1st. When they leave for Egypt with Benjamin as recorded in Genesis 43:15, this begins the 4th trip in our esoteric accounting of the series.
When they arrive in Egypt with Benjamin, Joseph's steward releases Simeon, the brother they had bound and detained as a hostage. The name, Simeon, means, hearing, but even though "hearing" is restored, according to the prophetic type, they remain unaware that Egypt's fearsome second in command is actually their brother Joseph. This is the first time Joseph has ever laid eyes on his only full brother and emotions are high. The special meal is filled with drama. Joseph teases them with big clues while continuing to protect his secret identity. He has a plan. He knows what he wants and he knows how to get it! This trip is a cryptic prophecy about this 4th shemitah in the count from the celestial sign of 1991, which is not without its drama as a season of limited hearing! Things have not been what they initially seemed to be.
Joseph sends the 11 brothers on their way (Genesis 44:3) with the impression that they're simply returning to Canaan with the grain they bought. By intrigue they have been framed for theft and are intercepted according to plan when they have gone only a little way out of the city. Joseph's "stolen" silver cup is found in Benjamin's sack of grain so, as thieves caught in the act, they return to Joseph's house in the city. (Genesis 44:13) The accounting of this prophetic 4th trip is complicated, unlike the 1st 3. In this return to the city we begin to see the emerging keystone pattern.
In his humbled position, Judah makes a confession in the telling of a story that includes mention of Joseph and how much distress his father Jacob had suffered over his probable demise. Judah offers himself as a substitute for Benjamin for their father's sake, and Joseph is apparently satisfied with that sign. The turning point has come! He tells them plainly that he's their brother and gives them special direction.
9 Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, ‘Thus says your son Joseph, “God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not delay. 10 You shall live in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your children’s children and your flocks and your herds and all that you have.~ Genesis 45:9-10
They are officially welcomed to Egypt where they will join their brother who had been sent on ahead. No longer do they live in Canaan, ritually speaking, because Egypt is already their new home. Their journey from Egypt to their former home in Canaan (Genesis 45:25) and their return (Genesis 46:1-7) with Jacob and all his household is then the 5th and final round trip in the series. The key perspective is that, consistent with their former journeys, they leave home and return back again. They had torn their garments prior to being returned to the city so, wearing the changes of clothes they received from Joseph, they would have appeared as Egyptians on their way to fetch Jacob. Supporting that identification, they traveled in a caravan of Egyptian vehicles with Egyptian beasts of burden bearing a wealth of Egyptian goods.
Since this pattern of the extended keystone exists in their travels and these treks represent periods of time, what is suggested in their being intercepted and returned back to Joseph's house in the city is a return to the past. We're going to explore some of the other esoteric indicators of time that are present in the account that lead us to equate the ritually accounted 4th and 5th trips to the 4th and 5th shemitah counted off from the celestial sign of 1991.
It is no mystery to readers of the biblical record how Joseph could seat his brothers at the table in the order of their birth because it's something a brother would naturally remember, but Joseph kept this secret. When Joseph's steward intercepts the brothers outside the city for having "stolen" his master's silver cup, their sacks of grain are searched in order from the oldest to the youngest. Once more, the secret knowledge of their ages is on exhibit. This gives emphasis to the matter of chronological order and to the possession of secret knowledge about chronology.
In the narrative of the journeys made to buy grain we find no small amount of attention given to the money involved. The fact that the money that was intended to pay for grain was being secretly returned in the mouth of their sacks was very disturbing to them, and this return of their money was considered to be a sign that God was blessing and/or ensnaring them. With respect to the saying that time is money and the resultant metaphor of money-as-time, it may be observed that money, secretly returned, speaks of time, secretly returned.
The brothers who are finally gathered together are 12 in number, a primary time number. Benjamin is the youngest, and it's this 12th son who is brought in to complete the set amidst much drama. The time number that we know to be specially connected with 12 is 5, and this appears redundantly in connection with Joseph's blessings of Benjamin. This 12th son receives 5 portions of food at the meal and then 5 changes of clothing when the other brothers had each received only a single portion of food and a single change of clothes. The 5-fold portion of food speaks of the favorable grant of special insight about time. While Joseph's secret identity is the obvious subject, for those who can perceive the redundant esoteric layering, the matter of time and the special knowledge of times is undeniable! The 5 changes of clothes are Egyptian, heavenly, and such garments suggest the heavenly spiritual body that is fit for 5 dimensions, which is to say, operative in a realm beyond the 4 of time and space. In addition to the 5 changes of clothes Benjamin received 300 pieces of silver when his brothers received none. The number 300 factors into 12*5*5 - and money is time! Given the prophetic context, it suggests that Benjamin is dispatched on a time mission.
Even the grain in the sack is identified with the number 5 and therefore time. After interpreting Pharaoh's dreams, Joseph continued to address Pharaoh, sharing the insight he received by revelation.
33 Now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. 34 Let Pharaoh take action to appoint overseers in charge of the land, and let him exact a fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven years of abundance. 35 Then let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and store up the grain for food in the cities under Pharaoh’s authority, and let them guard it. 36 Let the food become as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish during the famine.” 37 Now the proposal seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.~ Genesis 41:34
Of the grain of salvation, 1/5 of the harvest was gathered for each of 7 years under a man's supervision who was discerning and wise. This precious reserve of 1/5 was the means of salvation, being guarded carefully and distributed for consumption during the 7 years of the famine. As this is now the shemitah of plenty, Y'shua is directing the work that Joseph modeled, and with appointed overseers "in charge of the land," the grain of salvation is being stewarded toward the famine of the devouring shemitah. On the esoteric level, it's evident that special knowledge about the times is implicit in the reserve of grain.
It was early one morning back in April or May of 2017 that I received insight into the number 5 as a time number, which was then found to be generally in connection with the number 12. This was quickly confirmed to Aaron and I. The initial insight involved the 5 smooth stones David had sourced from a brook, one of which was used to slay Goliath. The phrase that stood out to me was that the 1 resonated with the 5. The shade of meaning that appears to be associated with 5 has to do with time through frequency and oscillation and more particularly with the damping of amplitude or force as a control factor. The brook David sourced the stones from was as a river of time with stones made smooth by water-as-time. We understand the role of the stones as changing the flow of water-as-time in the epic time ritual when Joshua directed the crossing of the Jordan with the Ark of the Covenant. Stones numbering 12 were removed from the river and carried into the promised land, then 12 others from the promised land were carried into the river and carefully placed at the feet of the priests who carried the Ark. The Ark - as a portable center of time - an object identified with the presence of the Lord of time. Heads up! Lord willing, that's going to be a pivot in an upcoming installment in this series that is directly related to these prophetic keystone journeys during the famine!
Because of what we find in the rich use of the number 5 in this esoteric account, this might suggest why there are 5 shemitah in the full keystone set, that it has to do with time and perhaps, the containment of time. The 1 (final) trip where the strategic salvation mission is completed resonates with the 5.
This detailed prophetic scenario of the journeys is related to what I wrote about in the 2 part legacy study about Joseph and Benjamin. There's some overlap and, notably, the discovery of both has involved the possession of special knowledge about timing as the key!
As I've testified before in writing about Joseph and Benjamin, it was way back in the Winter of 1991-2 when I came to see this historical account in Genesis as a remarkable prophetic allegory. The Lord was showing me great favor in that season, prompting questions and leading me straightaway to the answers. I had been prompted to ask a very specific question about timing, about when, during the 7 year season of fulfillment, the resurrection event I still only knew as "the rapture" would occur. First, I was led to see the development of Joseph as a type of Christ in His "first advent," which is a concept I had been introduced to some time earlier. But then I was suddenly made aware of how His "second advent" was also in view! When the drama that was focused on the brothers' recognition of Joseph reached a climax, my question was answered and immediately confirmed!
For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting.~ Genesis 45:6
The Lord led me then to Luke 12:38 and from there to Acts 12:10 to discover another remarkable prophetic allegory that paralleled what I had just found in Genesis. The revelation insight involved the timing of a key transitional event in a series of related events. I had been prepared in advance with a foundation of knowledge about timing and, in this very personal revelation it was accepted that I would have a role to play.
There are differences between that prophetic scenario and the one in the same passage that deals with the journeys - but also similarities. The discovery again involved the timing of a key transitional event in a series of related events. Aaron and I had been prepared in advance of coming to this scenario with a foundation of knowledge about timing and, in this very personal revelation it is accepted that we have a role to play. Based on promises made to Aaron and myself over the past 7 years, we know we will both be involved with some kind of time mission or missions. Perhaps others are also directly involved. We are continually aware that our knowledge is still pretty sketchy and that there's far more that we don't know than what we think we do. When it comes to this cryptic scenario of the journeys we believe that there's a time mission concealed therein that pertains to the pivoting of the doubled shemitah, when 2019 shifts to 2012.
With all that, there's plenty more. Lord willing, this is to be continued.
The notable pattern of the shemitah, devoured and devouring, is a key to the schedule of the pending reset of time. This pattern appears in the 29th chapter of Genesis where the central theme speaks loudly to us of the reason for the delayed fulfillment of prophecy. This passage also features the Keystone pattern of 3 sets that are followed by a distinct 4th wherein fulfillment is found!
Genesis 29: Jacob Labors 7 Years for Rachel Twice Under Contract with Laban
There's a dramatic story involved when the patriarch Jacob (later known as Israel) meets his beloved wife, Rachel. He loves her and to secure her as a wife he enters into a labor contract with her father.
16 Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 And Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful of form and face. 18 Now Jacob loved Rachel, so he said, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.” 19 Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than to give her to another man; stay with me.” 20 So Jacob served seven years for Rachel and they seemed to him but a few days because of his love for her. 21 Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my time is completed, that I may go in to her.” 22 Laban gathered all the men of the place and made a feast. 23 Now in the evening he took his daughter Leah, and brought her to him; and Jacob went in to her. 24 Laban also gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a maid. 25 So it came about in the morning that, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served with you? Why then have you deceived me?” 26 But Laban said, “It is not the practice in our place to marry off the younger before the firstborn. 27 Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you shall serve with me for another seven years.” 28 Jacob did so and completed her week, and he gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife. 29 Laban also gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her maid. 30 So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and indeed he loved Rachel more than Leah, and he served with Laban for another seven years.~ Genesis 29:16-30
The pattern of the first shemitah being eaten up by the one that follows is suggested in verse 20 as "they seemed to him but a few days." They were minimized, in time! A more literal translation of the Hebrew word אֲחָדִ֔ echad, which means, one, reveals how the first set of seven years seemed to him as one single day.
Think about Jacob's serving Laban for his beloved bride like this. He did it once, fulfilling his 7 year term with a disappointing result. Then he had to do it all over again - serving another 7 years - but with this service he secured his promised beloved. Are you seeing the prophecy in this?
As this recent season of increasing insight began, Aaron sent an email to me on the 19th of March. He expressed this so well that I'll just reproduce it here.
"Looking through Jasher and trying to find the Moses material with the serpents and I came across chapter 31 and it is the account of how Jacob was forced to do a repeat of his 7 years of service for the Bride he really wanted. He worked the first seven years thinking he was getting Rachel and instead he got Leah - so he had to do another 7 year stint to get the one he really wanted - Rachel. With this being about getting the bride he really wanted - that speaks to me of The Lord working and reworking the time periods to make sure He gets the Bride He is really after - and deserves!"
Jacob and Rachel are a type of the Bridegroom and the Bride. The first 7 year term of Jacob's labor for Rachel is a prophecy about our present shemitah, and to be sure, deception has been involved. For us, the model was masked, according to how it was that Jacob did not realize he had received Leah in Rachel's stead. There is an underlying legal issue involving sequence that must be honored and, for this reason, another contract term is required in order to legally secure the Bride for the Bridegroom. This explains what we perceive as a delay, the deferment of our hope. For the sake of the Bridegroom's love for His Bride, another full contract term will be fulfilled and the result will be most satisfying! As Jacob received 2 brides and their maids and all their offspring as a result of his patient service, so will the Lord's heritage be brought forth with abounding fruitfulness, to the glory of the Heavenly Father! We are certainly cognizant of the truth that this matter is not only about the Bride but also a people numbered as 144,000 sons of Israel. We have set forth the key relationship between the Bride and those 144,000 in writings about Romans 11, Genesis 45 (Benjamin-as-Bride) and Acts 12 (Peter-as-Bride). Through the agency of these two corporate entities, others of both the Jew and Gentile branches of the Olive Tree will be blessed toward the end of the achievement of maximum salvation.
This present shemitah numbering 860 may be seen as a Leah week. Verse 17 is interpreted in most versions with Leah having tender or weak eyes and her description is contrasted with one of Rachel's attractive appearance. To Jacob, she was unloved, and we have not been fond of the look of this present season. This is far from the experience of satisfaction that we have so earnestly longed for! According to J. B. Jackson, the name, Leah, means, weary, and we have a sense of that as the extended age seems to have long overstayed its welcome.
The name, Rachel, means, ewe, a female sheep. This observation illustrates how our attention is flagged in the circumstance of her coming to meet Jacob because, as this 29th chapter begins, we find "the ewe" acting as the shepherdess (verse 9) of her father's flock of sheep.
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the sons of the east. 2 He looked, and saw a well in the field, and behold, three flocks of sheep were lying there beside it, for from that well they watered the flocks. Now the stone on the mouth of the well was large. 3 When all the flocks were gathered there, they would then roll the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place on the mouth of the well. 4 Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where are you from?” And they said, “We are from Haran.” 5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?” And they said, “We know him.” 6 And he said to them, “Is it well with him?” And they said, “It is well, and here is Rachel his daughter coming with the sheep.” 7 He said, “Behold, it is still high day; it is not time for the livestock to be gathered. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them.” 8 But they said, “We cannot, until all the flocks are gathered, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep.” 9 While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess. 10 When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother. 11 Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted his voice and wept. 12 Jacob told Rachel that he was a relative of her father and that he was Rebekah’s son, and she ran and told her father.~ Genesis 29:1-12
It is in "the ewe's" shepherding of that flock that the Keystone pattern is concealed and revealed! When Rachel shepherds that flock to the well there are already three flocks lying there beside it, according to verse 2. This is the pattern of 3 things of a kind being followed by a 4th that is similar but which is specially appointed! We note how this pattern is given special emphasis in verses 7 and 8. We note also that the matter of the stone having to be rolled from the mouth of the well is also repeated for emphasis, and with the water-as-time metaphor having become so familiar - especially in connection with stones (the 5 smooth stones David selected from the brook, the 12 stones that Joshua had removed from the Jordan River and the 12 he subsequently placed back into the river bed at the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant) - we can hardly dismiss it here! The flocks come to the well to be watered in turn - signifying divisions of time.
We didn't include this passage among the 15 examples presented in the writing, The Keystone Pattern - Three Things Then the Fourth, but here it is in connection with the pattern of the shemitah, devoured and devouring!
There are some other outstanding features in this account that add to those and together make this account incredibly compelling!
Scenarios where a bride type is met at a well where water is drawn are very familiar to us. I'll recount some of them (leaving the many relevant points in common to your own personal study) and make a point about the symbolism of the water. Jacob's own mother Rebekah (who was Laban's sister) had come to a well where she was met by Abraham's servant. The servant had been sent to fetch a bride for Isaac. He met Rebekah at a well, and her drawing of water from it to water his animals was a sign to him. Later, Moses (who was descended from Jacob and Leah through their 3rd son, Levi) met his bride and Bride-type, Zipporah, at the well in Midian when she had come to water her father's flocks. You might consider this as kind of a family tradition. (See The Bridegroom and the Bride) The Bridegroom and a Bride-type met at a well in an account given in the 4th chapter of John. Jesus of Nazareth (in his humanity, descended from Jacob and Leah and their 4th son, Judah) spoke with this Samaritan woman about her marital status, the greatness of the patriarch Jacob, whose well it had belonged to and who was a foreshadowing type of the one she was actually speaking with, and water.
7 There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. 9 Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” 11 She said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water? 12 You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?” 13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” 15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw.” 16 He said to her, “Go, call your husband and come here.”~ John 4:7-16
There is a living water that has to do with eternal life, which has to do with persisting without end - beyond time, you see. Water-as-time, endless water springing up.
Having made these observations about the centrality of the Bride in this prophetic doubling of the shemitah of Jacob's contract terms with Laban in the 29th chapter of Genesis, let's reflect on the account of the 41st chapter of Genesis. After Joseph interpreted the Pharaoh's dreams of the bountiful 7 years being swallowed up by the famine 7, he was immediately promoted to second-in-command and given a bride, so that is another example with a Bridegroom-type marrying a Bride-type in the context.
Then Pharaoh named Joseph Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, as his wife. And Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.~ Genesis 41:45
Several days ago, I was watching a video and the scientist made the following observation. "You can't prove scientific things in a laboratory the same way you prove mathematic theorems. You prove things in a laboratory by piling up so much evidence that its simply unreasonable to deny it." The panel seen on screen had it expressed this way. "Proof is evidence that is so strong that it would be statistically unreasonable to deny it." This speaks to both Aaron and myself in comparison to how it is with the evidence we present. The evidence piles up to make certain points that are increasingly compelling. There comes a tipping point, where we become convinced, where we believe the testimony of the collection of independent witnesses. We are becoming convinced, as the Lord continues to bring forth more witnesses of the kind that have spoken so loudly to us over many years. The redundancy of the patterns, the consistency of the symbolism, the nature and timing of the signs attending the expanding insight - these are hard to deny.
Having a precise knowledge of the time as this age comes to the most significant points of transition has been the key to our knowing that this timeline has been skewed off the prophetic schedule. The matter of knowing it again after the reset of time will be essential when the sign for the Bride manifests in the context of the great hoax. Likewise, our having confidence in knowing the schedule of the reset appears to have value, so we intend to continue passing what we receive on to you, as the Lord provides.
Help us if you can, participating with us in this work with prayer and funds and whatever else the Lord may inspire. This shemitah will be swallowed up but what remains of our labors in faith, hope, and love will have enduring value. We pray that you find strength and encouragement in this. Pray for each other. You and your precious brothers and sisters in the Lord have need beyond even what we see on the surface.
Having already offered an adequate introduction, we'll begin Part 2 of this series with a passage that was among the first insights of this season about the swallowed seven, the shemitah devoured and devouring.
It was on the 21st of March that Aaron and I had the conversation where the prompting of "What's Next?" resulted in seeing the staffs and serpents in Exodus 7 (and Jasher 79) as time symbols.
8 Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Work a miracle,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.’” 10 So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and thus they did just as the Lord had commanded; and Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent. 11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers, and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts. 12 For each one threw down his staff and they turned into serpents. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs. 13 Yet Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord had said.~ Exodus 7:8-13
As the serpent and staff of God ate up those produced by the secret arts, so will God's timeline of history prevail over the skewed timeline produced by the secret arts in our day. This corrupted shemitah numbering 860 from creation will be 86-ed, in a figure, eaten up by Shemitah 861 like one snake might consume another. Only one will remain, but yet as having consumed the other. It is said that, you are what you eat, and this is pertinent.
In advance of the confrontation with Pharaoh, Moses had met with I AM at the burning bush, where he received a commission. It was there that the staff was first turned into a serpent and then back again into the staff, as a sign.
1 Then Moses said, “What if they will not believe me or listen to what I say? For they may say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.’” 2 The Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” And he said, “A staff.” 3 Then He said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it. 4 But the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand and grasp it by its tail”—so he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand— 5 “that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.” 6 The Lord furthermore said to him, “Now put your hand into your bosom.” So he put his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous like snow. 7 Then He said, “Put your hand into your bosom again.” So he put his hand into his bosom again, and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, it was restored like the rest of his flesh.~ Exodus 4:1-7
Moses had been directed to grasp it by its tail, which is not how you would handle a normal snake. This speaks of sequence and magnifies this as a time sign, of the supernatural restoration of the earlier form. This interpretation is lent further support by the leprous hand sign (like snow - frozen water-as-time).
This next account is specially related to the one above.
Genesis 41: Pharaoh's Dreams of the Cows and Ears - 7 Years of Abundance eaten up by 7 years of Famine
In Pharaoh's dream, we understand the Nile to represent the river of time, using the same metaphorical language found in the books of Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelation, Exodus, and Joshua, among others. Pharaoh saw himself standing on the bank, which is to say, witnessing a passing of time that is in accord with the convention of this age.
17 So Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I was standing on the bank of the Nile; 18 and behold, seven cows, fat and sleek came up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the marsh grass. 19 Lo, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and gaunt, such as I had never seen for ugliness in all the land of Egypt; 20 and the lean and ugly cows ate up the first seven fat cows. 21 Yet when they had devoured them, it could not be detected that they had devoured them, for they were just as ugly as before. Then I awoke. 22 I saw also in my dream, and behold, seven ears, full and good, came up on a single stalk; 23 and lo, seven ears, withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them; 24 and the thin ears swallowed the seven good ears. Then I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.” 25 Now Joseph said to Pharaoh, “Pharaoh’s dreams are one and the same; God has told to Pharaoh what He is about to do. 26 The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years; the dreams are one and the same. 27 The seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven thin ears scorched by the east wind will be seven years of famine.~ Genesis 41:17-27
The 7 years of plenty were devoured or swallowed up by the 7 years of famine. The cows and ears compare to the serpents and staffs.
In the days of Joseph and the famine in Egypt, the 7 bountiful and 7 famine years were consecutive, and so it is today. Yet, there's a twist. There is a prophetic layer where this grain of salvation applies on a level beyond that which saves people during a literal famine. This is demonstrated in the wonderfully rich and very exciting typological prophecies of Joseph and Benjamin - Part I and Part II. What's recorded in the scriptures is there as a historical account but yet is also there for a prophetic testimony. This informs us very particularly about our day, when the 7 bountiful and 7 famine years are consecutive, as before, yet also are one and the same, in the very way that was so colorfully illustrated by Pharaoh's doubled dream - as the famine shemitah swallows up the bountiful!
We believe we are now well into the 5th year of the bountiful shemitah and that what is essential for salvation is being grown and stored away in the spiritual granaries. Fill up and watch carefully over your silos, family!
Here's a bit of personal history regarding the interpretation of Pharaoh's dreams. After the Spring of 1994 passed without witnessing the resurrection that I later came to identify as the Bride Theft, I knew that the 1st shemitah from 1991 was not the one appointed for fulfillment. I found hope in this pattern of Pharaoh's dreams and the salvation provided through Joseph's stewardship, and my sights were set on 2001. Again, I suffered a crushing disappointment as hope was deferred. After that rough lesson about how the simple pattern of the consecutive sevens did not begin in 1991, I had no clue about how this might apply in these last days. Aaron advanced a hypothesis over a year ago, speculating that it might relate to the reset, and it appears to us now that, yes, it does indeed!
Before moving on we should note some of the other elements relative to the accounts of Genesis 41 and Exodus 7. These bracket Israel's season of living in Egypt. Israel was brought into the land of Egypt by means of the severe famine that was the subject of Pharaoh's dreams about time periods eating up the previous time periods. Israel was brought out of Egypt about 4 centuries later when a significant role was played by the staff-serpent of God that ate up the staffs-serpents of those who practiced the secret arts. It should be noted that the wise men and magicians of Egypt failed in both cases while God's agents had the victory.
Another version of this notable pattern of the shemitah, devoured and devouring, appears in a passage of scripture that contains many of the elements that are being highlighted to us so brilliantly!
A few days ago I noticed this definition for Clock: #6 "The downy flower head of a dandelion that has gone to seed."
The TV series Fringe featured the dandelion clock in a very significant way in an episode that first aired on September 28, 2012 in an extremely notable season. Fringe: 5.01: Transilience Thought Unifier Model -11 aka Dandelion Wine (The Simple Joys of Yesterday)
"Oh, and it's neat that the episode begins and ends with a dandelion — at the start, Young Etta is picking dandelions and blowing their spores away, and at the end, a despondent Walter is staring at a dandelion in the wreckage." IO9 ("We Come from THE FUTURE")
"The first and last shots of the final season premiere of Fringe focus on a dandelion. In the first, a dandelion has gone to seed, its time done. In the last, a newly matured dandelion stands straight and defiant in the middle of scorched earth. Soil proclaimed dead by the Observer, Windmark. Episode 5.01 closes inside the detritus of an abandoned taxi as a depleted Walter Bishop, a devout disciple of science, led by the prism light of a windchime CD tree; looks for inspiration after being battered by the torturous mind probings of Windmark. Not through science. But music." Fringe Episode 5.01 Review – Dandelion Wine
At the end of the episode, Walter Bishop is in the year 2036 and the earth is very barren. He sits in an abandoned cab and spies a lone dandelion, flowering, which brings a tear to his eyes - a sign of hope!
Fringe, was famous for doing very clever things with symbols. The title has to do with what things are considered fringe science, which more and more being considered as cutting edge. The plot of the show featured an alternate dimension and interaction between the dimensions. It also featured a class of beings called Observers. Think Watchers, as in the class of angels who fell from heaven to earth, as per Genesis 6 and Enoch 7 and 8. Certain characters in Fringe not only passed from one dimension into the other in the same relative time, they sometimes teleported into the past or into the future. In connection with these events, Fringe showed the knowing exploitation of symbols like the bell and tuning fork and entheogens and the metaphor of water as time. These are the kinds of tells that reveal the knowing and purposeful presence of Luciferian Occultism behind the production. My point in saying that is this, that the dandelion as clock is being used with knowledge to convey something secretly. We'll explain more, but we believe it can be taken as a sign of the pending reset of time. Another flower, a white tulip, was used symbolically on the show, which should speak to those of you who watched it closely. The White Tulip was received by Walter as a sign from God (that was actually revealed to have been given by a friendly Observer("Watcher") named September, yes, same as the month.)
When I think of Fringe and what esoteric meaning they might be misdirecting us away from by pointing us to the fringe science, it speaks to me now of the literal fringe of this passage of scripture, which describes the sound made by the bells and how this was necessary for the Aaronite High Priest's annual appointment with the Most High God in the Most Holy place.
4 And these are the garments which they shall make: the breast-plate, and the shoulder-piece, and the full-length robe, and the tunic with a fringe, and the tire, and the girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron and his sons to minister to me as priests.
33 And thou shalt make the full-length tunic all of blue. 34 And the opening of it shall be in the middle having a fringe round about the opening, the work of the weaver, woven together in the joining of the same piece that it might not be rent. 35 And under the fringe of the robe below thou shalt make as it were pomegranates of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen spun, under the fringe of the robe round about: golden pomegranates of the same shape, and bells round about between these. 36 A bell by the side of a golden pomegranate, and flower-work on the fringe of the robe round about. 37 And the sound of Aaron shall be audible when he ministers, as he goes into the sanctuary before the Lord, and as he goes out, that he die not.~ Exodus 28:4, 33-37 (Brenton Septuagint Translation)
Early in the episode we see the clock that is the downy flower head of a dandelion that has gone to seed blown away by young Etta. As time itself is scattered to the wind, in a figure. At the end, the flowering dandelion in its splendor is seen in a place where hope is clung to with desperation. Walter's attention was drawn to the setting by the sunlight that reflected into his bedroom off the collection of CDs hanging over a large metal tub. They were apparently placed there to act as a scarecrow, to keep birds away from the tub that must have been used as a planter. It may be said that farming demands faith and hope, with the effort made in the hopeful expectation of an eventual harvest.
The way of a dandelion is that the seeds produce more dandelions, so the order of the appearance of the two images in that sequence makes perfect sense. HOWEVER - if you've ever watched the show, Fringe is seldom about simple things and their natural order. There may be a hint of where the esoteric meaning lies in the alternate title of the episode, "Dandelion Wine (The Simple Joys of Yesterday)."
This episode speaks to us of the turning back of the clock (dandelion). We see this in a figure as the same dandelion, from having gone to seed to being back in its former glory, back in the past - with the clock or time reset into the past.
Here's an image I found. Someone else made this, and it does speak to us of hope, specifically, THE HOPE and our hope that now depends upon the reset of time. Although precious few will realize what has happened, we'll find ourselves returned into the past. The recent years of time we've just experienced will be repeated. The biblical schedule that has been prophesied will unfold - and this second time around - right on schedule!
One thing that makes this fresh insight into a show that aired over five years ago compelling is because this was the insight I had almost immediately upon learning that the dandelion head was called a clock.
Another thing that makes this compelling is the dates involved. The show first aired in 2012 just a few weeks after the London Olympics and Paralympics concluded. (The time suggestive Paralympics motto being: "Inspire a Generation") We remain convinced that that was a crucial season with regard to when time itself was skewed. Etta was blowing on the dandelion just before she disappeared, and was not found. That was set in 2015, and it was in the Spring of 2015 that we became thoroughly convinced by supernatural signs and revelation insight that time had indeed been skewed.
What makes this more compelling yet is what's been happening since I decided to work on this post and began to write it! Yesterday I was working on another project, the time portal opening ritual in PyongChang South Korea that was presented during the Opening Ceremony of the Winter Olympics. Unless the Lord directs otherwise, I typically continue work on whatever project is current. The Lord directed otherwise, obviously. This morning, I reviewed the latest news and published a post about Hollywood's witch casting out demons by Beelzebel (also, Beelzebub). I then began working on this post about the dandelions framing the Fringe episode. Then, I was interrupted with a plumbing issue.
The toilet in the rental where I live has an occasional problem where it fails to flush properly, even when nothing unusual is asked of it. Usually, a plunger and a minute or so of effort returns it to its usual function. Not this time. That's a first. It's still not flushing properly. The landlord will be tending to this soon, I expect. Because of the water as time metaphor, I'm always attentive to water related events. I don't want to make something of nothing, but when there is a sign, I don't want to miss it. If we weren't just put on alert a few days ago for the same thing I'd perhaps not see the interruption in this writing of a time reset sign post with a plumbing water event as a sign. But we were!
Early yesterday morning (Tuesday, the 20th), Aaron had to deal with the same thing, a toilet that wouldn't flush, and this was the very first time it actually overflowed a little. During the brief span that it overflowed and he mopped it up, he observed that the 12:21 time had passed. He wasn't led to see it when the clock read that time, but still, there's that. There's more to this. He put a rug and towels in the washing machine. A little later he heard a loud banging. The washing machine had walked itself about 4 feet out of place. That's a water drainage issue too, because the washing machine had started a spin cycle and whatever load balance issue was not resolving itself caused a failure of the water to drain. Now, aside from that, we had been talking together about the flooding outside. He lives on the river directly across from a dam. For the first time since he lived there, the water had begun to flood over the roads nearby and at least had come right up to the very top of the dam. The high water and flooding happens because the water isn't draining fast enough, right? So, after he told me about all these things we prayed together and talked about whether or not these were to be considered as time signs. We agreed that we had no insight about it, but that it should just be recorded and we would stay on alert, being confident that if this was meant as a sequence of time signs that the Lord would make it plain. At this point, it's plain enough. Yes. In connection with the toilet flushing issue here in Greensburg and with the writing of this post. The water signs are linked to this post about the time reset. With the extended span of time involved, I believe it is more broadly inclusive of the Olympic Ceremony's opening of the time portal that was the subject of the video project I worked on yesterday, as well as the video we published just before that, the final one of the Transformers trio where the cryptic presentation of the Great Pyramid as a time weapon was the subject.
Aaron and I reviewed and discussed this post before publishing it and a few other items seem relevant. This is the 12 month, on the Lord's calendar, and today is the 21st day, on the Pagan Gregorian calendar. Different calendars but still those are the pertinent time numbers. Not long ago, Aaron had a time stopping sign when the water pipe in his upstairs bathroom froze during a cold snap earlier this Winter. We're still experiencing a significant funding deficit and, on the money as time metaphor, we have to see this in context as consistent with the water flow stoppage signs. What the Autobot named Hot Rod said in the climactic scene of Transformers, The Last Knight, echoes in my ears. "I save you. I stop the time."
These are strange times. This season will not last. Yesterday is coming. While few will perceive what happened, what is being done in this season matters. The Lord keeps perfect records. Let us encourage you to make the most of what you've got.
Over three years ago now, as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live (LIVE, backwards is, EVIL), the award winning and controversial actor and comedian made a show of a silly looking triangle mouth sign. He used this as a spin off the triangle eye sign famously flashed by celebrities to launch a conspiracy theorist/insider kind of routine.
Quiz time. What's the meaning of the sign? Hint. The astronaut shirt he's wearing.
The mouth is the opening of his GI tract that he can get away with actually showing on TV. The triangle sign he's obviously referencing is the one always being flashed by models and actors and singers. It means the same thing. The eye is the mouth, like the mouth of a river; the outlet. The eye is one framed by the anal triangle, the Horus Eye. The astronaut shirt is a way of validating the meaning. ASStronaut.
The foul version, which is what Jim Carrey is really modeling, is the sex act called analingus where the tongue is stuck into someone's anus.
But hey, it's a joke, right? It's all in good fun. Actually, only the sodomites think this is funny because the joke is on us, the mass audience who are mind controlled, naive, and ignorant, who can't see past the cover spells of the illusionists, hypnotists and illuminated magicians.
When Jim Carrey starts to explain things like we just did openly, admitting to his complicity, we'll start to think he might be recovering and a legitimate whistleblower who has gained real freedom from his sodomite handlers and their programming. As we wait for that, we're not holding our breath.
The astronaut shirt he's wearing exposes a double E signaling of Code 33, which features ritual sodomy illumination as a primary layer of meaning. The slogan declares. “I need more space.” SPACE, in simple Occult gematria, is 44. A Code 47 goddess number. He's modeling the Black Madonna, who is usually seen with Harpocrates (as the boy Horus is known). It's a familiar pairing, the goddess and foul sodomite programming.
Here's a collection of interesting articles on the NeonNettle.com site. (Robert Downey Jr. starred in the Sherlock Holmes film franchise, which was overflowing with very specific Thelemite Illuminist witchcraft.)
Most of you won't want to explore this further, but if you're so led down this dirty road, here's a couple more productions involving Hollywood's icons. It's not really mainstream and, while there is no nudity, you are being warned right up front that the content is NSFW - not safe for work - because of the subject matter, and it is only appropriate under special circumstances.
I have known for over 30 years that the Great Pyramid embodies the numbers of our earth, moon and sun, and that it's specially positioned and aligned with the earth and heavens. I have been aware that there is an internal calendar system that identifies significant biblical events that I know to be legitimate through revelation insight and biblical astronomy. The purpose for all these observations was a mystery to me until the Lord shined a light on it many months ago, as I was researching the time codes of the film, The Lake House, and perceiving the threats and boasts made by the supernatural entities responsible for that remarkable production. We have produced and published several pertinent videos on these subjects in recent years.
The Great Pyramid is the key element in an ancient system that facilitated warring in the heavenlies. It's a kind of counterpart to the Ark of the Covenant, a special interface between heaven and earth. It was a time weapon, a device that was used to manipulate space-time dimensional constructs. Although it was disabled long ago, it remains as a witness, and a partially functional reminder that there is nothing new under the sun.
9 That which has been is that which will be,
And that which has been done is that which will be done.
So there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which one might say,
“See this, it is new”?
Already it has existed for ages
Which were before us.
11 There is no remembrance of earlier things;
And also of the later things which will occur,
There will be for them no remembrance
Among those who will come later still.~ Ecclesiastes 1:9-11
That is one of the many notable 9-11 passages in the Bible.
About a year and a half ago, the Lord had began to highlight some things to me, among them how Dr. Joseph Farrell was right about the Great Pyramid being a kind of “Giza Death Star.” He understands how resonant systems have an energetic connection. Energy is either drawn from or fed into one system from another through the operative principle of resonance. The transfer is influenced by amplitude and the tuning of phase and harmonics. The Great Pyramid is the central element in a vast number of energetic nodes, the grid of ancient and modern monuments. This network is an array of antennas for receiving and broadcasting energies and control over the flow was managed through the Great Pyramid. Storage and conversion capabilities are inherent.
The pyramid's vast numbers of significant dimensional analogs are not present for no reason. The accurate calendar is not present for no reason. Think about it. History, or, time itself, is one of the dimensional analogs. Across the full spectrum, these dimensional analogs establish a lock in space and time dimensions, referential bindings that may be exploited according to intention. The energies of the systems were, in a former age, able to be managed toward the manipulation of space-time dimensions. If you're oriented toward the technical, consider how we are now very openly expoiting technologies of quantum physics, muon radiation, the principles of missile locks, radar jamming, coherent energy transmissions, holographic projection, ultrasound penetration imaging (and cellular manipulation/destruction as with cancer), microwave radiation, 3D cymatics, acoustic levitation, the projection of voices in heads in targeted spacial domains, vortex math and toroidal flow. It any of this seems like a stretch, consider the capabilities demonstrated by the implementations of AI, and what we may be kept in the dark about. With regard to AI, there is another form of intelligence behind it. When it is known that the almighty God created all, having the end already in mind, the only rational conclusion that may be drawn is that the created being we know as the Devil did not appear by accident. Although he has already been defeated, in truth, the Adversary's authority will continue to manifest in this age and the next, according to limits that are established and maintained by the eternal and sovereign Most High God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The evidence that there is a supernatural component to the Great Pyramid-centric ancient monuments should be obvious, since the nodes in the network have to do with worship and ritual sacrifice. When the fallen angels began to manipulate human, plant and animal genetics, they exploited the secrets of heaven to a point where the physics of this creation had to be changed to assure that it would no longer be subject to such exploits, as evidenced by the sign of the rainbow.
Here's a passage of scripture that bears repeating here.
19 The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money. 20 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera. 21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.~ Judges 5:19-21
We've written plenty on the subject of the water-as-time metaphor. It's evident here. Stars in their courses are angels in their dimensional transits, stargates, if you will. They were exploited for warring in the heavens and on earth. When you consider what might be meant by that ancient river, the river Kishon (kedumim nachal) it's not just some natural stream of water that flowed through the land a long time ago.
Consider a couple verses from earlier in the chapter.
4 Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water. 5 The mountains melted from before the Lord, even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel.~ Judges 5:4-5
Water-as-time. Do you understand the language where the clouds of heaven are vehicles or transit/teleportation mechanisms? (see Heaven's Vehicles - UFOs - Fake and Genuine. Brother Jim Wilhelmson gets it. Echoes of Enoch.)
How are mountains melted? Physical evidence exists as proof that they have been. In today's world, the evidence of the use of mountain melting directed energy weaponry is part of the legacy of Silver Gate NYC's Ground Zero and 9-11.
Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.~ Judges 5:22
The mechanism of this transiting was broken. Right where the rubber meets the road, so to speak. Dr. Farrell describes the dismantling of the weaponized system from his understanding of ancient texts, together with his understanding of the physics evidently involved with the Great Pyramid.
Consider this enigmatic work of ancient masonry in Peru, outside the city of Cusco. Why would the builders make walls of such irregular stones? How could such stones have been found or made and fit together with such incredible precision?
The place is known variously as Saksaywaman, Saqsaywaman, Sasawaman, Saksawaman, Sacsahuayman, Sasaywaman, Sacsayhuamán, Sacsayhuaman, Sacsahuaman, Saxahuaman. Waman means, falcon or variable hawk, so connect this place with the flying serpent or Dragon, and Horus/Apollo.
The physical evidence suggests that the legends are true. The ancient builders had technology that could melt and reform stone, and transport massive objects by means of levitation. What would be the reason for unique and irregular stones? One answer involves magick, ritual and mathematics. Another involves the principles of resonance. If you fed energy into one stone according to its dimensions of mass and shape and location, the oscillations produced would be damped by every stone that surrounds it. It's a durable construction, resistant to assaults by energy weaponry and perhaps resistant to probe technologies, providing security through opacity and obscurity, cover, a place to hide.
The walls of Jericho fell FLAT when trumpets were blown amidst the shouting of a people, at the conclusion of a timed ritual that was performed at the direction of the Most High God.
15 Then on the seventh day they rose early at the dawning of the day and marched around the city in the same manner seven times; only on that day they marched around the city seven times. 16 At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city.
...
20 So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city. ~ Joshua 6:15-16, 20
There was a way of controlling the energies centralized in the Great Pyramid, taking what was received and converting it, storing it toward the eventual amplifying, focusing and transmitting toward or into some intended target. I believe it was driven by the intention of the Adversary expressed through a goddess loving hive mind of the networked collective of Luciferian Illumined, of demonically controlled and “psi-powered” and hybridized slaves and the symbol-magic/pharmakeia hypnotized/trance controlled masses.
I believe this control mechanism is what's being restored, alongside the environmental modifications of atmospheric seeding and heating (chem-trails, HAARP) and GMO bio-engineering that has a significant role in undoing the rainbow effect. The energy weaponry of time-space domains toward the end of assaulting the heavens is in view. One can hardly overlook what happened on the plain of Shinar with the city and tower of Babel.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. ~ Genesis 11:4-6
In a timely fashion, the Lord God intervened. There is nothing new under the sun.
For the efforts of the rebel forces today there will be granted some degree of success, and we have already begun to witness it. This is why time itself must be reset, into the past. If it isn't, its already too late, and the promises of the Most High have been nullified. We have lost.
The role of the Ark of the Covenant is not concluded. We have a report that it is seen in heaven. Make note that this is in direct connection with an energetic emission, as from heaven (the unseen realm that is the angelic abode) to earth and that there is a dramatic impact in this physical realm.
19 And the temple of God which is in heaven was opened; and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple, and there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder and an earthquake and a great hailstorm.~ Revelation 11:19
We've noted how the features of the Great Pyramid give the ark of the Covenant special attention, toward establishing it as a dimensional analog or resonant system. (We have yet to offer a presentation on the matter but it has been well researched and our observations have been recorded.) The Ark of the Covenant is a kind of mobile center of time (David Flynn - Gone on Ahead (UTAH Beach - Direct Hit!) / Part 5 - 2012 London Olympics - State of Israel maps to Zion Olympic Park) that would sometimes function as a weapon. The ultimate purpose for the Great Pyramid clicked for me when I saw the internal calendar as one of the dimensional analogs. It means that the Great Pyramid was made resonant with history forward and back and therefore time itself. All the energy collected and stored in the earth and other systems could be absorbed back and tuned to resonate with time and space in four dimensions, and perhaps more. This was done in ancient times, and the heavens and terrestrial bodies in our solar system were severely impacted. The cosmological mythologies still bear witness. The Great Pyramid was disabled and the grid of connected monuments fell into ruin long ago yet remnants of the system remain. The fallen angels are directing a kind of restoration work, toward a functional alternative.
Brothers and sisters, the war is on. A high ritual season on the annual calendar is now passing. Don't be an idle bystander or be lulled into complacency. Engage with your supernatural prerogative as warriors in the spirit. Pray as led. Use your spiritual gifts to the full. Persist. Endure. Well-doing will find great reward in ages to come!
Honored to be serving with you - Shabbat Shalom, in Y'shua,
Three days pass from the time they set out from Shittim to camp at the Jordan. Then, they cross over on the 4th day according to the well established pattern that speaks of this (first) shemitah spanning from 2012 to 2019. This is no small matter because they had anticipated entering the promised land since they left Egypt 40 years earlier! It's a bigger deal still because they modeled our time as a dramatic pre-enactment! This prophecy is about to be fulfilled, which bears witness to our present shemitah and the next and the transition between them. We believe what they did then resonates through time, and we mean that expression to be taken literally!
I visited Aaron recently and we went to the theater to see Avengers: Infinity War. We weren't disappointed. It was entertaining and engaging in many ways, but for our purposes that's of little consequence. We were there to see whatever it was the Lord would reveal and what we perceived was mind boggling. These Marvel/Disney productions are typically some of the most timely and bean-spilling. If you haven't seen it, you can search IMDB and wikipedia and read reviews to your satisfaction. 
Why didn't Strange use the power to rewind or reset time while he still had the Time Stone? Why would he just let Thanos have it, knowing its power - especially when combined with the other Infinity Stones? In the 2016 film, Doctor Strange, the titular character was able to save earth from Dormammu with a strategic use of the Time Stone. The writers of fiction make up the rules and plots as they go along for the sake of drama, and they're not going to reuse the same strategy twice, so Strange can't use the looping time reset to lock his adversary into a stalemate as a bargaining chip. For our benefit, they are going to spill even more beans about the unfolding of this very real war of the last days! The willing forfeit of the Time Stone was a strategic sacrifice that was so significant that it gave the appearance that the battle that decides the war had just been lost.
Infinity War - WHAT WAS DOCTOR STRANGE'S PLAN? (Eric Voss and "New Rockstars" channel)
What Eric Voss referred to in the video above as Doctor Strange's flipping the pages to the end of this choose-your-own-adventure book was a meditation session where Strange viewed the future and considered the possible outcomes of their conflict with Thanos. That was a brilliant strategy for the use of the Time Stone because Strange can subsequently use this knowledge as a guide to the victorious outcome. We're told that only 1 of the 14,000,605 possible outcomes is a winner, but 1 is sufficient. Strange foresees the future and is able to map out the critical path to ultimate victory and, very importantly, his adversary does not exploit the power of the Time Stone to gain this advantage. 
"Oh, and it's neat that the episode begins and ends with a dandelion — at the start, Young Etta is picking dandelions and blowing their spores away, and at the end, a despondent Walter is staring at a dandelion in the wreckage."
Early in the episode we see the clock that is the downy flower head of a dandelion that has gone to seed blown away by young Etta. As time itself is scattered to the wind, in a figure. At the end, the flowering dandelion in its splendor is seen in a place where hope is clung to with desperation. Walter's attention was drawn to the setting by the sunlight that reflected into his bedroom off the collection of CDs hanging over a large metal tub. They were apparently placed there to act as a scarecrow, to keep birds away from the tub that must have been used as a planter. It may be said that farming demands faith and hope, with the effort made in the hopeful expectation of an eventual harvest.
It still looks to us like Jim Carrey is a master of the limited hangout. Blowing cover - as cover.
