Life will be given to him by a false prophet who came out of the earth
on the eve. The king will call a false prophet to help him. And this
will happen after the destruction of the Babylonian harlot. The
prototype of this event is Saul's expulsion of wizards and
fortunetellers from the country. And when Saul felt hard, then at his
request from the earth was called an “old man commeth vp, and he is
couered with a mantle” (1Sam.28:14). The woman said to the king:
“I saw gods ascending out of the earth” (1Sam.28:13).
From the time the devil hands over to the beast “his strength and his
throne and great power” (Rev.3:2), three years will be completed.
Governors, princes, judges, treasurers, advisers and military leaders
will be invited to worship the Image of the beast (Rev.13:14). They will
give consent and devote their lives to serving the beast and his Image,
having received a sign on their right hand or on their forehead. The
announcement about the obligatory acceptance of the mark on the right
hand or on the forehead will be made to all nations, tribes and
languages (Dan.3:4) (Rev.13:16). Each person will be free to make his
choice: to devote himself to the service of the beast and his Image, or
to be beheaded by him (Rev.20:4).
Star in the East
The Evangelist will open the eyes of many blind people, and on the eve
of the DAY of Pentecost he will lead the prisoners out of prison
(Is.42:7). The Wise men from the East, who went to worship the newly
born King, are a prototype of those invited to the wedding feast. They
said: “we haue seene his Starre in the East” (Matt.2:2). The Star
that showed them the way is the prototype of Prince Michael. He will
bring 144,000 people out of captivity. These are those who “will not
taste death” (Matt.16:28), because they will be delivered “from
the sword of Pharaoh” (Ex.18:4).
But why the Wise men first came to Jerusalem, then communicated with
King Herod, and only after that went to Bethlehem? To answer this
question, it is necessary to consider other types of these events.
In the 12th chapter of the book “Acts” we are shown this time in more
detail. In the person of King Herod, we are shown a man of sin who,
waging a war “with the Saints”, conquers them (Rev.13:7). Chosen
are shown to us in the person of James, John's brother.
“Now about that time, Herode the King stretched foorth his hands, to
vexe certaine of the Church.
And he killed Iames the brother of Iohn with the sword”
(Acts.12:1‑2).
Scripture shows us that killing people “for the word of God, and for the
testimony which they held” (Rev.6:9) will please the people of Israel.
But when there is five months until the DAY of Pentecost, everything
will start to change.
The Scripture, dividing the whole harvest, lasting 49 years, into the
harvest of barley and the harvest of wheat (Ruth.2:23), thereby shows us
the boundary between the time of the Gentiles (the elect), and the
beginning of grafting natural branches to their olive tree. The time of
the harvest for the people of Israel will be on July 2069. From that
time on, the number of people who believed in the Word of God among all
the tribes of the sons of Israel will grow every day. The Word of God
will spread (Acts.12:24) in spite of any prohibitions. The only
exception will be the tribe of Dan, because a man of sin, a son of
perdition, will come out of it. In five months, 144,000 evangelists will
be preaching from the people of Israel. They are shown to us in the
person of Peter.
“And because he saw it pleased the Iewes, hee proceeded further, to take
Peter also. (Then were the dayes of vnleauened bread.)
And when hee had apprehended him, hee put him in prison, and deliuered
him to foure quaternions of souldiers to keepe him, intending after
Easter to bring him forth to the people”
(Acts.12:3‑4).
Some of the Chaldeans will report to the king that the men of the Jews
do not serve his gods and they do not worship the golden image that he
put (Dan.3:12), but instead they openly preach the kingdom of God. “King
Herod”, hearing this, will be troubled, “and all Hierusalem with him”
(Matt.2:3). By order of the king, who will be “in his rage and
furie”, 144,000 evangelists will be detained, 12,000 people each
“of all the tribes of the children of Israel” (Rev.7:4). They,
collected from many countries, will be taken to Jerusalem and will give
an answer to the king:
“O Nebuchad-nezzar, we are not carefull to answere thee in this matter.
If it be so, our God whom wee serue, is able to deliuer vs ...
But if not, bee it knowen vnto thee, O king, that we will not serue thy
gods, nor worship thy golden image, which thou hast set vp”
(Dan.3:16‑18).
“King Herod” will deliver them into custody, intending to take them out
after the holiday and put them before the idol. In order to prevent
escape, unprecedented measures will be taken to guard prisoners. But,
despite this, the prisoners, knowing the Word of God, will be absolutely
sure of their early release. But having lost track of time, they will
not know either the day or the hour (Matt.25:13). Deciding that the
groom is delayed, they all will slumber and fall asleep (Matt.25:5).
Dozing off, all the guards will fall asleep.
“And when Herode would haue brought him foorth, the same night Peter was
sleeping betweene two Souldiers, bound with two chaines, and the Keepers
before the doore kept the prison.
And beholde, the Angel of the Lord came vpon him, and a light shined in
the prison: and hee smote Peter on the side, and raised him vp, saying,
Arise vp quickely. And his chaines fell off from his hands”
(Acts.12:6‑7).
In chapter 16 of the book of Judges, we are shown another type of those
days. Samson, having a special relationship with the Lord, wasted his
strength. He was ruined by a passion for women. Samson is a type of
Israel who has a special passion for serving another's gods. Israel,
having a special relationship with the Lord, does evil in His sight,
showing stubbornness and obduracy. Scripture, in the words of Stephen,
evaluates the people of Israel: Ҧ Ye stifnecked and vncircumcised in
heart, and eares, ye doe alwayes resist the holy Ghost” (Acts.7:51).
“Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in vnto
her”
(Judg.16:1)
In the first verse we are shown the beginning of the power of darkness.
Israel will come to “Babylon” and, having seen “there an harlot”,
will go unto her.
“And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they
compassed him in, and layd wait for him all night in the gate of the
citie, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning when it is
day, we shall kill him”
(Judg.16:2).
The next verse shows us the Israel evangelists already in custody. The
inhabitants walked around all night, guarding and hiding like guards in
a dungeon, so that when the day came, they would kill him.
“And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and tooke the
doores of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with
them, barre and all, and put them vpon his shoulders, and caried them vp
to the toppe of an hill that is before Hebron”
(Judg.16:3).
Samson, who climbed to the top of an hill along with the city gates, is
a type of those who are called. In Jesus' parable, they are shown as
wise virgins (Matt.25:1‑12). Scripture tells us the time of the rapture;
it will happen at midnight.
“And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegrome commeth,
goe ye out to meet him”
(Matt.25:6).
And no doors in the world with their locks will be able to keep the
raptured children of Israel to the wedding Feast. All who will be
raptured will instantly become like Angels. Scripture speaks of this in
verse (Acts.12:15). When Peter approached the house, he was as an Angel.
Exodus
of the people of Israel from the land of Egypt and their crossing of the
Red Sea “as by drie land” (Heb.11:29) is another prototype of the
rapture of those invited to the wedding Feast. Our Universe is
surrounded by the waters of the great deep. These waters separate the
second heaven from the third. Now, the redeemed will pass through this
sea, it will be cut before them. They will be given “two wings of a
great Eagle” (Rev.12:14), and the waters will be “a wall vnto
them on their right hand, and on their left” (Ex.14:22).
In the eighth chapter of the book of Ezra, Scripture figuratively shows
us the obstacle that will arise in the path of the frontiersmen. The
Agava River is a prototype of the waters of the great deep. Scripture,
as it were on behalf of Prince Michael, says:
Ҧ Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the riuer Ahaua, that we might
afflict our selues before our God, to seeke of him a right way for vs,
and for our little ones, and for all our substance”
(Ezra.8:21).
Prince Michael, will dry up the waters of the great deep, turning its
depths into a road so that the redeemed can go to the third heaven to
the new Jerusalem (Is.51:10), “and euerlasting ioy shalbe vpon their
head”
“Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall returne, and come with singing
vnto Zion, and euerlasting ioy shalbe vpon their head: they shall
obtaine gladnesse and ioy, and sorrow and mourning shall flee away”
(Is.51:11).
In chapter 51 of the book of Isaiah, Scripture calls Prince Michael the
hand of the Lord, and prophetically informs about the imminent
destruction of the beast and the capture of the dragon.
Ҧ Awake, awake, put on strength, O arme of the Lord, awake as in the
ancient dayes, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut
Rahab, and wounded the dragon?”
(Is.51:9).
Prince Michael will bring out “the prisoners from the prison” at
midnight from December 25 to December 26, 2069. There will be 144,000 of
them. Scripture names this date.
Ҧ And it came to passe in the seuen and thirtieth yeere of the
captiuitie of Iehoiakin king of Iudah, in the twelfth moneth, in the
fiue and twentieth day of the moneth, that Euil‑merodach king of
Babylon, in the first yeere of his reigne, lifted vp the head of
Iehoiakin king of Iudah, and brought him forth out of prison”
(Jer.52:31).
2069 will be the 37th year from the captivity of the people of Israel in
2032. Now that we know the date of the rapture of those invited to the
wedding Feast, we can easily determine the pagan holiday that will fall
on the days of the seven-day feast (Acts.12:3-4). This pagan holiday is
called Christmas. And if at midnight from 25 to 26 December, Prince
Michael does not come to save them, then “King Herod” in the morning,
when the day comes (Judg.16:2), will execute them (Acts.12:6).
In the second chapter of the Gospel of Luke, the day of the rapture of
those invited to the wedding Feast is named.
“And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according
to the custom of the feast”
(Luke.2:42).
In this verse, the day of the month is indicated according to the Jewish
calendar, that is, taking into account the phase of the moon. Knowing
the phases of the moon in 2069, you can determine the day according to
the Gregorian calendar.
The next type, in which the Scripture names the date of the rapture of
those invited to the wedding feast, is found in the eighth chapter of
the book of Ezra. This chapter shows all the frontiersmen who came from
captivity. Ezra is the prototype of Prince Michael.
Ҧ Then wee departed from the riuer of Ahaua, on the twelfth day of the
first moneth, to goe vnto Ierusalem; and the hand of our God was vpon
vs, and hee deliuered vs from the hand of the enemie, and of such as lay
in wait by the way”
(Ezra.8:31).
This verse also indicates the day of the month according to the Hebrew
calendar. From the moment of the rapture of the invited to the beginning
of the Feast, three days will pass.
“And we came to Ierusalem, and abode there three dayes”
(Ezra.8:32).
Three days of waiting in heavenly Jerusalem is December 26, 27, 28. And
“on the fourth day” (Ezra.8:33) the marriage of the Lamb will
come (Rev.19:7). It will be Sunday, December 29, 2069.
“the time of Iacobs trouble”
“King Herod”, seeing himself mocked, on the same day, December 26, will
give an order and sign a decree for the extermination of all the people
of Israel within a month (Dan.6:6-9). This royal decree will be made
with the consent of the princes of the kingdoms, governors, satraps,
advisers and military leaders, all of whom will attend the seven-day
feast. The letters will be “sent by posts into all the kings
prouinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish all Iewes, both
yong and olde, litle children and women” (Esther.3:13). The order
will take effect on the same day: “in the twelfth month (that is the
moneth Adar) on the thirteenth day” (Esther.9:1). And for the people
of Israel a time of trouble will come. Within a month, all the kings of
the earth and their armies will gather against the inhabitants of
Jerusalem (Rev.19:19).
“For thus sayth the Lord, Wee haue heard a voice of trembling, of feare,
and not of peace.
Aske yee now and see whether a man doeth trauaile with child? wherefore
doe I see euery man with his handes on his loynes, as a woman in
trauaile, and all faces are turned into palenesse?
Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is euen the
time of Iacobs trouble, but he shall be saued out of it”
(Jer.30:5‑7).
On the night of January 20 to January 21, 2070, the Lord will break the
yoke around their necks and break their bonds (Jer.30:8). This will be
the tenth day of the lunar month. The day of the second coming of the
Lord Jesus Christ is reflected in the ceremonial law. One day, about
2000 years ago, on the tenth of the first month, He solemnly entered
Jerusalem. This event is a type of His coming on January 21, 2070. On
this night, the enemy will hope to destroy the people of Israel, but the
opposite will happen.
“in the day that the enemies of the Iewes hoped to haue power ouer them:
(though it was turned to the contrary, that the Iewes had rule ouer them
that hated them.)”
(Esther.9:1).
The Lord says:
Ҧ And in that day will I make Ierusalem a burdensome stone for all
people: all that burden themselues with it, shall be cut in pieces;
though all the people of the earth bee gathered together against it”
(Zech.12:3).
“In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and
he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as Dauid”
(Zech.12:8).
On that day, Prince Michael will destroy all the nations that come to
fight against Jerusalem (Zech.12:9). The people of Israel will say:
“My God hath sent his Angel, and hath shut the lyons mouthes that they
haue not hurt me: forasmuch as before him, innocencie was found in me”
(Dan.6:22).
“And the victorie that day was turned into mourning vnto all the people”
(2Sam.19:2).
“In that day shall there bee a great mourning in Ierusalem ...
And the land shal mourne ...”
(Zech.12:11‑12).
“euery family apart, & their wiues apart”
(Zech.12:14)
All the tribes will mourn for three days; men will weep like women. In
Israel in those days, the memory of the execution of the Evangelist will
be fresh in memory. The Lord will pour out “vpon the house of Dauid,
and vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem the spirit of grace and of
supplications” (Zech.12:10), and they will look at Jesus, whom they
pierced, and weep for the Evangelist, as they grieve for their first
born.
“And I wil powre vpon the house of Dauid, and vpon the inhabitants of
Ierusalem the spirit of grace and of supplications, and they shall looke
vpon me whom they haue pearced, and they shal mourne for him, as one
mourneth for his onely sonne, and shall be in bitternesse for him, as
one that is in bitternesse for his first borne”
(Zech.12:10).
Israel will be clean before God, because on Saturday, December 28, 2069,
at the end of the day, the seventy weeks, which are determined to the
people of Israel, will be fulfilled. This means that the “daughter of
Zion” will be forgiven. The transgression will be covered, sins will
be sealed and iniquities will be blotted out (Dan.9:24).
In the fifth chapter of the Gospel of John, a miracle is described that
was performed in the pool over those sick who had time to plunge into
the water as soon as the Angel descended from time to time. In this
pool, a paralyzed person, who was 38 years old in illness, was expecting
the movement of water. When Jesus learned that he had been lying for a
long time, he asked him: “Wilt thou be made whole?” (John.5:6).
“The impotent man answered him, Sir, I haue no man when the water is
troubled, to put mee into the poole: but while I am comming, another
steppeth downe before me”
(John.5:7).
Israel will be resettled for her sins in 2032, and since then she will
remain in sickness for a long time. The paralyzed man lying for 38 years
is a type of Israel. From that time on, “a great multitude of
impotent folke, of blind, halt, withered,” will receive recovery
(John.5:3), but Israel will be the last on this list.
“Iesus sayth vnto him, Rise, take vp thy bed, and walke.
And immediatly the man was made whole, and tooke vp his bed, and walked:
And on the same day was the Sabbath”
(John.5:8-9).
Israel will receive healing on Saturday. This will be the evening of
December 28, 2069. According to the Jewish calendar, the 15th day of the
month will end, and the 16th day will begin. The subsequent events of
this chapter allow us to see the behavior of the people of Israel in the
future 1000 years of peace.
Daniel was shown a vision in which he saw the day of the second coming
of the Lord Jesus Christ. Daniel in this vision is a type of the people
of Israel, which suffered many calamities and tribulations. Israel from
the books will understand “the number of the yeeres, whereof the word
of the Lord came to Ieremiah the Prophet, that he would accomplish
seuentie yeeres in the desolations of Ierusalem” (Dan.9:2).
The seventy years of captivity, about which Jeremiah wrote, were already
ended long ago; but the Author of Scripture with the words of Daniel
points us to the future time, and specifically to the year 2070!
Daniel grieved for three weeks (Dan.10:2), that's twenty-one days.
Scripture prophetically tells us the day of the month (21st). On this
day, the Lord will shut “the lyons mouthes”, and “in the foure
and twentieth day of the first moneth” the people of Israel will see
the Lord Jesus Christ (Dan.10:4‑6). They will find Him in three days in
the Temple, “sitting in the midst of the Doctours, both hearing them,
and asking them questions” (Luke.2:46). Here the word Doctor
(Teacher) denotes the highest scientific degree.
“in the twentie and fourth day of this moneth” all the children of
Israel, “fasting, & with sackclothes, and earth vpon them” will gather
and confess “their sinnes, and the iniquities of their fathers”
(Neh.9:1‑2).
On that day, January 24, 2070, they will, with an oath and a curse,
undertake the obligation to act according to the law of God. The New
Testament will be concluded with the Lord (Neh.9‑10).
In the Gospel of Mark, we are shown another “Samson” who was also
incredibly powerful and wasted all his energy. When Jesus got out of the
ship, He was met by a man from the tombs. His dwelling was in mountains
and tombs, and no one could bind him with chains ...
“and the chaines had bene plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken
in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
And alwayes night and day, hee was in the mountaines, and in the tombes,
crying, and cutting himselfe with stones.
But when hee saw Iesus afarre off, he came and worshipped him”
(Mark.5:2‑6).
In this type we are shown Israel in times of tribulation, and their
meeting with the Lord.
Scripture on behalf of the Lord says to Israel: “But I will shew thee
that which is noted in the Scripture of trueth: and there is none that
holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince”
(Dan.10:21).
“sixe hundred threescore and sixe”
Now, knowing the date of the DAY of Pentecost, we can determine the year
and month of the middle of the last week of Daniel. This is the very
time when the devil will give the beast “his power, and his seat, and
great authoritie” (Rev.13:2). This is the very time when the beast
will begin to serve the Babylonian harlot. You will be surprised at the
result! These events will take place in the month of June 2066.
Do you understand what the number of the beast means? The three digits
666 represent the sixth month of 2066. This is an abbreviated notation
of the month and year in the current century 06/21/66. For example, the
military conflict in South Ossetia in August 2008 is called “the
08.08.08 war”, or in abbreviated form “the 888 war”. The abbreviated
notation of the day, month and year was used here.
From June 28, 2066 to December 28, 2069, forty‑two calendar months will
pass. It is at this time that great authority will be given to the beast
(Rev.13:5).
The false prophet will cause “all, both smal and great rich and
poore, free and bond, to receiue a marke in their right hand, or in
their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, saue he that had the marke, or the
name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisedome. Let him that hath vnderstanding, count the number of
the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his number is, sixe
hundred threescore and sixe”
(Rev.13:16‑18).
We have counted the number of the beast. The date of the “event 666” is
confirmed by the first verse of the 8th chapter of Ezekiel. The fact is
that on this day young men who have no blemish, beautiful appearance,
skillful in all wisdom and understanding science, will be sent to the
service of the Babylonian harlot (Dan.1:4). In the chapter (Ezek.8) we
are shown their ministry.
“And it came to passe in the sixt yeere, in the sixt moneth, in the fift
day of the month, as I sate in mine house, and the elders of Iudah sate
before me; that the hand of the Lord God fell there vpon me”
(Ezek.8:1).
This verse indicates the year, month, and day of the beginning of their
service to another's gods. The day is based on the phase of the moon.
Knowing the phases of the moon in 2066, you can determine the day and
month according to the Gregorian calendar, it will be June 27, 2066.
Isaiah predicted to Hezekiah that the alliance between the king of Judah
and the king of Babylon would have tragic consequences for the kingdom
of Judah. In this prophecy, Scripture shows us the events of the middle
of Daniel's last week. An offer will be made to the ruler of Israel, and
he, being a proud, vain and selfish person, will not be able to refuse
(Judges.18:19‑20). Having started his ministry with the Babylonian
harlot, he will actually sacrifice Israel. He will act like Jephthah,
who sacrificed his only daughter, fulfilling his vow (Judg.11:35‑40). An
idol shepherd will take from the people to “Babylon” EVERYTHING that
until that time will be collected in reserve by the fathers, “nothing
shall be left, sayth the Lord”. And the best sons of the people,
“of the kings seed, and of the Princes” (Dan.1:3) he will take with
him. They will be given two months to get ready and say goodbye to their
relatives. It is said: Jephthah sent his daughter to go up the mountains
to mourn his virginity with his fellows (Judg.11:37‑38).
“Behold, the dayes come, that all that is in thine house, and that which
thy fathers haue layde vp in store vnto this day, shall be caried vnto
Babylon: nothing shall be left, sayth the Lord.
And of thy sonnes that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget,
shall they take away, and they shall bee Eunuches in the palace of the
king of Babylon”
(2Kings.20:17‑18).
The man of sin, fulfilling the function of the high priest of the
Russian Orthodox Church, will have power “ouer the fourth part of the
earth” (Rev.6:8). Therefore, a rider named Death will be able “to
kill with sword, & with hunger, and with death, and with the beastes of
the earth” for three years only on a fourth of the earth. But even
this is enough for the wife to be drunk with “with the blood of the
Saints, and with the blood of the Martyrs of Iesus” (Rev.17:6).
Whoever manages to escape from the sword of the Babylonian harlot will
be killed by the revived Image, and whoever, having received the mark,
escapes from his sword, will be killed by Prince Michael (1Kings.19:17).
In any case, the Lord will leave seven thousand men for Himself in
Israel, whose knees “haue not bowed vnto Baal, and euery mouth which
hath not kissed him” (1Kings.19:18).
Jesus told the people gathered against Him: “When I was daily with
you in the Temple, yee stretched foorth no hands against mee: but this
is your houre, and the power of darkenesse” (Luke.22:53).
The devil and his angels will be given authority for seven years, from
2063 to 2069, to show themselves in all their things. It said: “this
is your houre”. In 2066, the devil will transfer “his power, and
his seat, and great authoritie” (Rev.13:2) to the beast from the
sea. From this time on, “the power of darkenesse” will come on
earth. Scripture through types gives us the opportunity to imagine many
events of that time and feel them. In the story of the crucifixion of
Jesus, we are shown these two periods of time with an exact indication
of their beginning and end. In 2063, the seventieth week of Daniel will
begin (Dan.9:27). The Scripture designates this year as “the third
houre”.
“And it was the third houre, and they crucified him”
(Mark.15:25).
The middle of the week is indicated by the phrase: “at the sixth
hour.”
“And when the sixth houre was come, there was darkenesse ouer the whole
land, vntill the ninth houre”
(Mark.15:33).
In 2066, “the power of darkenesse” will come throughout the earth
and will continue until 2069. It is said: “vntill the ninth houre”.
The events that will occur at this time are described in chapter 13 of
the book of Revelation. At the end of 2069 (Mark.15:34) Jesus Christ
will call to God from the womb of hell, and He will hear His voice.
“In my distresse I called vpon the Lord, and cryed vnto my God: hee
heard my voyce out of his temple, and my crie came before him, euen into
his eares”
(Ps.18:6).
Psalm 18 shows us the deliverance of Jesus Christ from the hand of all
His enemies. At this time, the devil will descend to earth “hauing
great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time”
(Rev.12:12). The reign of darkness will end on the DAY of Pentecost,
when people will see “the signe of the Sonne of man in heauen”.
Book of Daniel
Please note that in the book of Daniel we are shown all the most
important events that will happen to the people of Israel when the power
of darkness comes. Each chapter of the book shows its own event that
will occur during this period of time. The order of the chapters in the
book shows us the sequence of these events.
The first chapter
shows the beginning of the ministry of the sons of Israel with the
Babylonian harlot.
The second chapter
shows the destruction of the Babylonian harlot and the salvation of the
people of Israel.
The third chapter
shows the revived Image of the beast.
The fourth chapter
shows the process of grafting natural branches to your olive tree.
The fifth chapter
shows a seven-day feast and a sign in heaven.
The sixth chapter
shows “the time of Iacobs trouble” (Jer.30:7) and the second
coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Not only the book of Daniel has a prophetic significance in the
arrangement of chapters, but all of Scripture. It is presented by the
Author in a special order of the books of the Bible, as well as in the
sequence of chapters and verses of each book.
“shall ye number fifty daye”
The ceremonial Law says that from the day of the offering of “a
sheafe of the first fruits” of harvest to the DAY of Pentecost there
will be “seuen Sabbaths”, which is forty‑nine years.
Ҧ And ye shall count vnto you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from
the day that ye brought the sheafe of the waue offering; seuen Sabbaths
shalbe complete”
(Lev.23:15).
But the continuant of the harvest can be calculated in a different way
and very accurately. From the day of the offering of “a sheafe of the
first fruits” of harvest to the DAY of Pentecost, exactly fifty
prophetic years will pass, on the nose. The DAY of Pentecost in this
account will be the last day of the fiftieth prophetic year.
The prophetic year consists of 360 days. Therefore, fifty prophetic
years is 18,000 days.
“Euen vnto the morrow after the seuenth Sabbath, shall ye number fifty
dayes, and ye shall offer a new meat offering vnto the Lord”
(Lev.23:16).
In these verses the Scripture suggests calculating the DAY of Pentecost
if the day of the offering of the “a sheafe of the first fruits”
of harvest is known. And if the day of the rapture of the Church of the
firstborn has not yet arrived, and the DAY of Pentecost is already
known, then you can count the time in the opposite direction.
Counting back 18,000 days from December 29, 2069 (this is the last day
of the fiftieth prophetic year), we get the first day of the harvest -
September 18, 2020.
From midnight 00:00 AM 09/18/20 to midnight 12:00 PM 12/29/1969 exactly
fifty prophetic years will pass.
From the first days of the harvest, people will suddenly be overtaken by
sorrow and distress. The prototype of these events is the waters of the
flood, which suddenly caught careless people. In the seventh chapter of
Genesis, Scripture indicates the length of the harvest as 600 months.
“Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the
earth”
(Gen.7:6).
600 months of 30 days is 18,000 days.
But the question arises, what hours to count midnight 00:00 on September
18, 2020?
The Moon will show us this time, or rather the time of the new moon.
Moscow time, the new moon on September 17, 2020 will be at 02:00 PM.
UTC, the new moon on September 17, 2020 will be at eleven o’clock
AM. And on the line for changing the date at this point in time, a new
day will begin on September 18, 2020. Thus, the beginning of a new day
on September 18, 2020 on the date line coincides with the moment of the
new moon to the nearest second.
Therefore, the time of the beginning of the harvest will be counted in
relation to the date change line. This is the 13th time zone. The date
line corresponds approximately to the 180° meridian, but in some places
it deviates significantly from it.
“There are two islands in the Bering Strait, which separates the
territories of Russia and the United States. Rotmanov Island, which is
the most eastern point of our country, and Krusenstern Island, the
westernmost point of the United States. Between these islands lies not
only the state border of the two countries, but also the date change
line.
On the Russian Island of Rotmanov, time is 13 hours ahead of the world
time, and on the American Island of Kruzenshtern, it is 11 hours behind
it. On both islands, the clocks show the same time, since they are in
the same time zone, and the date difference is a whole day. At midnight,
the date changes, but on the Russian island of Rotmanov it is always a
day ahead. And the residents of Rotmanov Island celebrate the New Year a
day earlier than their neighbors from Kruzenshtern Island.”

I began to observe the time of the new moon on September 17, 2020 from
2010. In 2010, the time of the new moon was assumed to be at 10:56:54 AM
(GMT). The error was 3 minutes and 4 seconds.
In 2014, the time of the new moon was already indicated more precisely
10:58:43 AM (UTC). The error was 1 minute and 17 seconds.
In 2018, the difference from the true value was only 3 seconds. The time
of the new moon was indicated at 11:00:03 AM (UTC). This error still
persists. Hopefully the future fix will be the last one, and the error
of 3 seconds will be gone.
The most accurate calculations of the time of the new moon (up to a
second) on the website:
https://goroskop.org/horoscope/moon/moonphase/novolunie-2020.shtml
The animated image shows the date line on Earth, it is shown in red. Pay
attention to the point with local time 00 hours, 00 minutes. It is
located on the midnight boundary, which runs from pole to pole, and
moves westward because the Earth rotates on its own axis in an eastward
direction. The movement of the midnight border will determine the time
and place of the resurrection and rapture of people who have died in
faith in the Word of God. The Lord will not deprive of His mercy, “to
the liuing and to the dead” (Ruth.2:20).
The position of the moon in this image is not marked, at the time of the
new moon it will be between the Sun and the Earth.
So,
the harvest will begin on September 18, 00:00 AM, according to 13th time
zone. But throughout the earth at this time the “yesterday day”
September,17 will continue. In the seventh chapter of Genesis,
Scripture, beginning with a new paragraph, again speaks of Noah's age.
Why does the author repeat himself to indicate that Noah was 600 years
old? The man who wrote these words is really repeating himself. But the
true Author of these lines, beginning with a new paragraph, gives us a
new prophecy.
Ҧ In the sixe hundredth yeere of Noahs life, in the second moneth, the
seuenteenth day of the moneth, the same day, were al the fountaines of
the great deepe broken vp, and the windowes of heauen were opened”
(Gen.7:11).
From the creation of the world to the beginning of the harvest on the
“the seuenteenth day of the moneth” a full 5999 years will pass,
this is in quantitative terms. But if the year of the beginning of the
harvest is designated by an ordinal number, then the current year 2020
is the six thousandth year from the creation of the world.
People often get confused about cardinal and ordinal numbers when
counting years. When calculating years, this confusion is the cause of
the error, it is within one year. Behold, people argue whether there was
a zero year from the birth of Christ or not? The zero year from the
birth of Christ, in quantitative terms of time, of course, was, but it
is usually denoted by an ordinal number, which indicates the number of
the current year. The current year zero was the “first year”.
In verse (Lev.23:15) the Scripture indicates to us the day of the week,
at the end of which “a sheafe of the first fruits” of harvest
will be taken up. It is said: “from the morrow after the Sabbath”.
The people should be ready “against the thirde day” (Ex.19:11),
this will be the third day of the new moon.
The entire first day of the week (Sunday) will be a collection of
immigrants (1Cor.16:1‑4). Within 24 hours they will be collected from
all over the earth. And the next day they all will be set off together
to the Heavenly Tabernacle. Of the entire harvest period, the Church of
the Firstborn will remain on earth for only two days.
The rapture of the Church of the first born according to Moscow time
will begin at 02:00 PM on September 19, 2020 on the date line, and will
end at 02:00 PM on 09/20/2020 on the same line. And wherever a person
called by the Lord is, the time of his taking from the earth will come
at midnight local time from Saturday to Sunday.
“And vpon the first day of the weeke, when the disciples came together
to breake bread, Paul preached vnto them, ready to depart on the morrow,
and continued his speach vntill midnight”
(Acts.20:7).
In chapter 20 of the book of 1 Samuel, the Scriptures figuratively show
the events that will occur in the first three days of the new moon. We
are shown the meeting between the Evangelist and the risen Jesus. On the
first day of the new moon, the Lord's covenant will be made (1Sam.20:8).
Jonathan told David: “And thou shalt not onely while yet I liue, shew
me the kindnesse of the Lord, that I die not: But also thou shalt not
cut off thy kindnesse from my house for euer” (1Sam.20:14‑15).
Jonathan, being heir to the throne, knew that the power would be
transferred to David and the Lord would be with him. And he, using his
present advantage, took the oath from David again (1Sam.20:17).
Next, we are shown the rapture of the Church of the first born. This
event is called “a yeerely sacrifice there for all the family”
(1Sam.20:6). Indeed, on this day, the sinful flesh of the entire kinship
of Jesus Christ will be destroyed. Those who will be raptured will be
like arrows fired, they will be gathered by “a ladde”. And at
this time, Jesus Christ will be waiting “by the stone Ezel”
(1Sam.20:19). He will hide “in the fields” (in space) “vnto
the third day at euen” (1Sam.20:5), and “ready to depart on the
morrow”. The only natural satellite of the Earth, which is located
at a distance of 380,000 kilometers from it, is named the stone. On the
new moon, the side of the Moon facing the Earth will be in the shadows,
that's where Jesus Christ will await His Church of the first born.
Scripture even specifies the place for us. It is called the Sea of
Rains. This is a relatively flat surface with an area of 829 thousand
km². Scripture speaks prophetically of the low temperature at the
gathering place and tells us its name in verse (Ezra.10:9).
“... and all the people sate in the streete of the house of God,
trembling because of this matter, and for the great raine”
(Ezra.10:9).
The dark side of the moon cools down to minus 153°C.
In Scripture, the census is a type of the rapture of the Church. In the
second chapter of the Gospel of Luke we are shown the first “taxing”
(Luke.2:2). It will be held in secret from this world, and therefore it
is impossible to make this day public. The Angel of the Lord
(Evangelist) will descend to the Earth and the glory of the Lord will
shine around. He, like Moses, descending from the mountain with the
Tablets, will bring “good tidings of great ioy, which shall be to all
people” (Luke.2:10).
Note that after the words of the Angel to the shepherds, suddenly
appeared with Him “a multitude of the heauenly hoste praising God,
and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good wil
towards men” (Luke.2:13‑14). People waiting for Jesus Christ, after
the words of the Angel, in an instant will turn into a large heavenly
host. But not all “shepherds” will be caught up and go with Him.
Some of them, remaining on the ground, will hurriedly “goe euen vnto
Bethlehem” (Luke.2:15) by another way. They, being witnesses of the
rapture of the Church, will everywhere proclaim the word that he has
spoken, and all who hear will be amazed at what they will tell
(Luke.2:18).
Scripture confirms the date of the rapture of the Church of the first
born, obtained by counting the days. In chapter 24 of the book of 2
Kings, Scripture tells about David's numbering of Israel and Judah.
David, giving the order for numbering, instructed the military leader to
conduct it. Joab and his men began numbering from the eastern lands of
Israel (2Sam.24:5). They had gone “through all the land” and came
“after nine months and twenty days to Jerusalem” (2Sam.24:8). In
this verse, Scripture prophetically names the date of the future
“number”: the twentieth day of the ninth month. In the ninth verse,
prophetically, even the number of “ears” of the “a sheafe of
the first fruits” of harvest is indicated.
Note that in a parallel text about the numbering of the Israelites
(1Chr.21), the Scripture speaks of another rapture. It will take place
at the end of the 1000 years of peace (1Thess.4:16‑17), when Satan will
be released for a short time. Jesus listed to his disciples the signs
that would mark the end of the world and His coming. So, the main sign
from which all troubles will begin is the rapture of the Philadelphia
church. This rapture is referred to in chapter 15 of 1 Corinthians. This
rapture, in contrast to the first “number”, which will last for
24 hours, will happen in “a moment, in the twinckling of an eye”
(1Cor.15:52). The Philadelphia church will be delivered “from the
houre of temptation, which shall come vpon all the world, to try them
that dwell vpon the earth” (Rev.3:10). Starting from that time, this
generation will not have time to pass (no more than 25 years), as
“Heauen and earth shal passe away” (Mark.13:31).
Ҧ But of that day and that houre knoweth no man, no not the Angels
which are in heauen, neither the Son, but the Father”
(Mark.13:32).
There are all significant dates in Scripture. The date when the Savior
was born in the city of David is known, the date when the rapture of the
Church of the firstborn will take place is known, and the date is known
when the DAY of Pentecost will come. Scripture gives absolutely all
significant dates for the future harvest. The only unknown is the time
(day, month, year) when at the end of the 1000 years of peace “when
the master of the house commeth” (Mark.13:35), and when later sulfur
and fire from the sky will be pouring down by rain on the Earth. There
are only signs of this time.
In chapter 10 of the book of Ezra, future events are shown in more
detail. Throughout the earth, “vnto all the children of the
captiuitie” (Ezra.10:7), it will be Proclaimed that “that all the
world should be taxed”. The Scripture speaks of this Decree, which
came out in August, in the Gospel of Luke.
“And it came to passe in those dayes, that there went out a decree from
Cesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed”
(Luke.2:1).
In verse (Ezra.10:9) Scripture prophetically names the date of the
future “number”: the twentieth day of the ninth month.
Ҧ
Then all the men of Iudah and Beniamin, gathered themselues together
vnto Ierusalem, within three dayes: it was the ninth moneth, on the
twentieth day of the moneth, and all the people sate in the streete of
the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great
raine”
(Ezra.10:9).
In the first chapter of the book of Nehemiah, we are shown an event in
heaven after the third day. Hanani and a few people from Judea who came
to Nehemiah's palace are a type of the Evangelist and the firstborns.
For the crimes of the settlers, they will be cast out unto the uttermost
part of the heaven (Neh.1:9). The month and year of this event are
indicated to us: the ninth month (Chisleu), the twentieth year. Nehemiah
is a type of Jesus Christ.
“The words of Nehemiah the sonne of Hachaliah. And it came to passe in
the moneth Chisleu, in the twentieth yeere, as I was in Shushan the
palace;
That Hanani, one of my brethren came, he and certaine men of Iudah, and
I asked them concerning the Iewes that had escaped, which were left of
the captiuitie, and concerning Ierusalem”
(Neh.1:1,2).
Many people, hearing for the first time about the rapture of the Church,
take an interest in this event. But their mistake is that, ignoring the
Word of God, they delve into their dreams, trusting them, and believe in
the stories of other people. But apparently this is the lot of every
person who refuses to search for truth. They are unable to understand
and appreciate the Word of God.
Currently, YouTube is flooded with many videos in which people, telling
their dreams of rapture, see themselves in these dreams, and they see
themselves among those who raptured in heaven. But trusting dreams,
replacing them with faith in the Word of God, is a sign of ignorance.
Even if such a person quotes Scripture, knows the date of the rapture of
the Church of the firstborn, believes in this event and in his own way
expects it, this knowledge and such faith will not help him. He believed
in vain.
Only those who, as in a competition, compete for superiority, and,
running the distance, come first, will participate in this rapture.
These are the ones who, like Phinehas, are zealous for God (Num.25).
Religious people, being deaf in relation to God and His Word, will cry
and weep, remaining on the earth during the harvest.
Scripture tells people, “Examine your selues, whether ye be in the
faith”
(2Cor.13:5)?
In chapter 36 of the book of Jeremiah, we are shown how the Prophet
writes the words of the Lord in a scroll (Tablets). He will have to read
the written, “the wordes of the Lord in the eares of the people in
the Lords house vpon the fasting day” (Jer.36:6). The Lord hopes
that “they will present their supplication before” Him, and
“returne euery one from his euill way; for great is the anger and the
furie that the Lord hath pronounced against this people” (Jer.36:7).
The Evangelist will do everything so that the words of the Lord, written
in the scroll, are read. Fasting will be announced in the ninth month.
“And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king
of Judah, in the ninth month a fast was declared before the Lord to all
the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities
of Judah to Jerusalem”
(Jer.36:9).
Christians on the third day will have a special festive mood, but Jesus
coming, “shall hee find faith on the earth?” (Luke.18:8). One day
Aaron declared a ftast to the people. He, having satisfied their demand,
proclaimed: “To morrow is a feast to the Lord” (Ex.32:5). The
third day is typified by the descent of Moses from the mountain (Ex.32),
and at this time the people “sate downe to eate and drinke, and rose
vp to play” (1Cor.10:7). Moses, who stood at the gate of the camp
and called all the faithful to the Lord, is a type of the Evangelist.
Ҧ And when Moses saw that the people were naked, (for Aaron had made
them naked vnto their shame, amongst their enemies)
Then Moses stood in the gate of the campe, and saide, Who is on the
Lords side? let him come vnto mee. And all the sonnes of Leui gathered
themselues together vnto him”
(Ex.32:25-26).
Remember that each new paragraph in Scripture highlights its own
prophetic context. The first verse of the paragraph (Ex.32:25-29) shows
the deliverance of people from sinful flesh at the time of the rapture
of the Church of the first born. We find a similar type in the Gospel of
Luke. When Jesus passed through the sown fields, “his disciples
plucked the eares of corne, and did eate, rubbing them in their hands”
(Luke.6:1). In this verse we are shown the rapture of the Church of the
first born. Among the sown fields, the disciples found ripe ears of
grain, plucked them and, rubbing them in their hands, blew off the
husks. Only bare grains remained in the hand. The husk, prophetically,
is our shell - sinful flesh. It will disappear as if it never existed.
In the first type, sinful flesh is shown to us in the form of clothing.
The prototype of the first day of the harvest is the arrival of Ezra in
the community to the immigrants (Ezra.9). His grief was a reaction to
the news of their crime. A “very great congregation of men, and
women, and children: for the people wept very sore” (Ezra.10:1) and
assembled unto him. These were those who realized the crimes of the
settlers and were in awe of God's warnings about the punishment for sin.
“And they made Proclamation throughout Iudah and Ierusalem, vnto all the
children of the captiuitie, that they should gather themselues together
vnto Ierusalem;
And that whosoeuer would not come within three dayes, according to the
counsell of the Princes, and the Elders, all his substance should be
forfeited, and himselfe separated from the congregation of those that
had beene caried away”
(Ezra.10:7‑8).
Jesus, having descended “out of the mount” (out of the third
heaven), will be stunned by the degree of idolatry of the Christian
society, and by the number of foreign wives accepted “into
cohabitation”. We sinned and became transgressed before Him, for
“haue made them gods of gold” (Ex.32:31). After the completion of
this “number”, God's anger will be kindled against all who have sinned
against Him (2Sam.24), (Ex.32:27‑29), (Neh.1), (Ezra.10). All from the
congregation of those that had been carried away (Ezra.10:8), will be
delivered unto Satan. All their property will be confiscated, and they
will be put on trial (Ezra.10:14) for the destruction of the flesh,
“that the spirit may be saued in the day of the Lord Iesus”
(1Cor.5:5).
Scripture speaks of the atoning death of the Evangelist in the verse:
Ҧ And it came to passe on the morrow, that Moses said vnto the people,
Ye haue sinned a great sinne: And now I will goe vp vnto the Lord;
peraduenture I shall make an atonement for your sinne”
(Ex.32:30).
The Lord says to the Evangelist, “Therefore now goe, leade the people
vnto the place of which I haue spoken vnto thee: Behold, mine Angel
shall goe before thee” (Ex.32:34). God shall give his Angels charge
concerning him, and in their hands they shall bear him up, lest at any
time he dashes his foot against a stone (Matt.4:6).
Song of Moses and song of the Lamb
The song of praise of Anna (1Sam.2) is “the song of Moses the seruant
of God, and the song of the Lambe” (Rev.15:3), which will be sung by
those who conquered the beast and his Image.
“saying, Great and marueilous are thy workes, Lord God Almightie, iust
and true are thy wayes, thou king of saints”
(Rev.15:3).
“The aduersaries of the Lord shalbe broken to pieces: out of heauen shal
he thunder vpon them: the Lord shall iudge the ends of the earth, and he
shal giue strength vnto his king, and exalt the horne of his Anointed”
(1Sam.2:10).
This song will sound praise to the Lord God Almighty, the Lord Jesus
Christ and Prince Michael.
Joseph, placed over all the land of Egypt, gathered grain from the
fields that were around every city. And he gathered corn, “as the
sand of the sea, very much, vntill he left numbring: for it was without
number” (Gen.41:49).
Scripture, informs us accordance to a result of the harvest:
“Therfore sprang there euen of one, and him as good as dead, so many as
the starres of the skie in multitude, and as the sand which is by the
sea shore innumerable” (Heb.11:12). Called, & chosen, and faithfull
will be a great multitude, which no man could nūber, of all nations, and
kindreds, and people, & tongues (Rev.7:9).
“And there arose not a Prophet since in Israel like vnto Moses”
In the last chapter of the book of Deuteronomy, Scripture shows us a
great event that will end an entire era in the history of mankind.
Moses, having ascended to the top of the mountain, died there and was
buried “according to the word of the Lord” (Deut.34:5).
Ҧ And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plaines of Moab
thirty dayes: So the dayes of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended”
(Deut.34:8).
In the verse (Deut.34:8), we are shown the days of tribulation of the
people of Israel, from December 26, 2069 to January 24, 2070, for thirty
days. They will grieve and weep first for themselves and for their
children, and only then for their first born, when they understand to
whom they owe their miraculous salvation.
Ҧ And Ioshua the sonne of Nun was full of the Spirit of wisedome: for
Moses had layd his handes vpon him, and the children of Israel hearkened
vnto him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses”
(Deut.34:9).
What picture of the future does Scripture show in this verse? What does
the laying on of hands by Moses on Jesus mean? What does the death of
Moses mean and why, having seen the land with his own eyes, he should
not go there?
On the DAY of Pentecost, Prince Michael will have to give instructions
to Jesus Christ, transfer his authority, and his powers, and the whole
house (wife and two children) to the Heir.
Ҧ Iohn bare witnesse ... He that commeth after me, is preferred before
me, for he was before me”
(John.1:15).
From that time on, he will become the closest executor of all the orders
of the Lord Jesus Christ. As Jonathan said to David: “You will sit at
the right hand of your Father, “and I shall be next vnto thee.”
His servant will stand in front of him. The Lord God will give the born
Son “the throne of his father Dauid”.
“He shall be great, and shall be called the sonne of the Highest, and
the Lord God shall giue vnto him the throne of his father Dauid”
(Luke.1:32).
The day before, the Lord explained to Moses how this would happen:
Ҧ And the Lord saide vnto Moses, Take thee Ioshua the sonne of Nun, a
man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand vpon him.
And set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation:
and giue him a charge in their sight.
And thou shalt put some of thine honour vpon him, that all the
Congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient”
(Num.27:18‑20).
In the type of all the Congregation, we are shown all the Saints in
heaven. Eleazar is a type of God the Father. The all the Congregation of
the children of Israel, from whom obedience is expected, is the people
of Israel on earth.
Since
then, Israel will never again have a Prophet like the Evangelist
(Deut.34:10). But the ministry of a prophet will be no longer required,
because the born Son of God will receive all the fullness of God. Now it
is clear why the Scripture says about Moses: “no man knoweth of his
Sepulchre vnto this day” (Deut.34:6).
When the three men appeared to Abraham, when he saw them, he “ran to
meet them.” In the 18th chapter of the book of Genesis, Scripture
shows us this DAY of Pentecost. We are shown how Abraham, Sarah, and the
young man are hastily preparing for the Feast. It is said: “And
Abraham hastened”; “And Abraham ranne.” Sarah quickly prepared
“three measures of fine meale”. After kneading, she made cakes on
the hearth (Gen.18:6‑7). The young man, taking the “a calfe, tender
and good” also hurried to dress it (Gen.18:6‑7).
“And Abraham hastened into the tent, vnto Sarah, & said; Make ready
quickly three measures of fine meale, knead it, and make cakes vpon the
hearth.
And Abraham ranne vnto the heard, and fetcht a calfe, tender and good,
and gaue it vnto a yong man: and he hasted to dresse it”
(Gen.18:6‑7).
This prototype shows how Prince Michael “according to the word of the
Lord” hastily prepares the groom for the wedding, laying on Him from
his glory. God the Father is shown to us in the form of Abraham. The
holy Ghost is shown to us in the form of Sarah. In the type of a young
man, we are shown Prince Michael. Jesus Christ is shown to us in the
type of “a calfe, tender and good”. In the type of three men and
three measures of fine meal, we are shown called, & chosen, and
faithfull.
In the first chapter of the book of 1 Kings, we are shown in more detail
the orders of Prince Michael on the DAY of Pentecost on the eve of the
baptism with the holy Ghost, and their strict fulfillment. David ordered
the priest Zadok, the prophet Nathan and Benaiah to put Solomon on the
king's mule on which he rode, anoint Solomon, blow the trumpet and
proclaim him king (1Kings.1:34). After that “hee may come and sit
vpon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I haue appointed
him to be ruler ouer Israel, and ouer Iudah” (1Kings.1:35). Benaiah,
answering David on behalf of all present, said:
“Amen: ... As the Lord hath bene with my lord the King, euen so be he
with Solomon, and make his throne greater then the throne of my lord
King Dauid”
(1Kings.1:37).
Scripture in the words of Benaiah prophetically says: “As the Lord hath
bene with Prince Michael, even so be He with the Lord Jesus Christ, and
make His throne greater than the throne of Prince Michael. In the type
of three men: Zadok, Nathan and Benaiah we are shown called, & chosen,
and faithfull.
In the book of Zechariah (Zech.4) Scripture, showing the role of Prince
Michael in the birth of the Beloved Son, says: The hands of Zerubbabel
will lay “the foundation of this house”, “his hands shall also finish
it” (Zech.4:9). Prince Michael will bring forth “the head stone”
“with shoutings, crying; Grace, grace vnto it” (Zech.4:7).
Scripture, showing us a great event, says about the day of His wedding:
“For who hath despised the day of small things?” (Zech.4:10)
Prince
Michael will bring forth “the kings sonne”, put the Crown upon
Him, and give Him a Testimony. After the anointing, He will be King. The
people, clapping their hands, will say: “God saue the King”
(2Kings.11:12).
The accession of the seven-year-old Joash is another type of the
accession of Jesus Christ. Athaliah, destroying “all the seed royall”
(2Kings.11:1), “did reigne ouer the land” (2Kings.11:3). Joash
was miraculously saved in one of the premises of the Temple.
So, when the hour comes “the mystery of God will be completed”
(Rev.10:7). The bridegroom in a royal robe, with a golden Crown, put on
His head, “wherewith his mother” crowned Him (Song.3:11), will
come out of his chamber, “as the Sunne when he goeth foorth in his
might” (Jud.5:31). The bride will “out of her closet”
(Joel.2:16). And rejoicing, He will declare to all living: “Ye are
witnesses this day” (Ruth.4:9), that I, having obtained “eternall
redemption” (Heb.9:12), have “purchased to be my wife” the bride,
who “hath made herselfe readie”.
At this time, the seventh Angel will sound, and the kingdoms of the
world will become the kingdoms of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Anointed
One of God, “and he shall reigne for euer and euer” (Rev.11:15).
Scripture compares Prince Michael to the friend of the bridegroom, who
stands and, listening to him, rejoices. John told his disciples:
“He that hath the bride, is the bridegrome: but the friend of the
bridegrome, which standeth and heareth him, reioyceth greatly because of
the bridegromes voice: This my ioy therefore is fulfilled.
Hee must increase, but I must decrease”
(John.3:29,30).
Day of Pentecost
On the evening of December 28, 2069, after sunset, people will see
“the signe of the Sonne of man in heauen”. The next day (Sunday,
December 29, 2069) will be the DAY of Pentecost.
In the third heaven, the holy Ghost, through a spiritual operation, will
give birth to the Beloved Son (Luke 9:35). Jesus Christ, the Church of
the first born, chosen and called will become one. The holy Ghost will
fell on Them, and the power of the most High will overshadow, therefore
“also that holy thing which shall bee borne of thee, shall bee called
the sonne of God” (Luke.1:34,35). God will call His name - Christ
the Lord (Luke.2:11); “Shiloh” (Gen.49:10).
In eternity “his name shalbe called, Wonderfull, Counseller, The mightie
God, The euerlasting Father, The Prince of peace”
(Is.9:6).
The most vivid type of the sacrament of the union of Christ and the
Church is shown to us in the third chapter of the book of Daniel. In the
type of Sedrakh, Misach and Abdenago, we are shown called to the wedding
Feast, 144,000 people who, having refused to worship the Image of the
beast, will be miraculously saved. Further, the Scripture speaks of
“foure men loose, walking in the midst of the fire” (Dan.3:25). Four
men are a type of Jesus Christ, the Church of the first born, chosen and
called on the DAY of Pentecost.
The king gave the command to kindle the stove unusually strong, “one
seuen times more then it was wont to be heat” (Dan.3:19). Scripture
shows that the birth of the Beloved Son will take place through the
action of the holy Ghost. If the outpouring of the holy Ghost in the
jubilee year is compared with the fire sent to the earth, then it will
be “clouen tongues, like as of fire” (Acts.2:3). The Scripture
compares that baptism with the holy Ghost to the fire of a furnace,
which will be heated seven times stronger than usual.
When Jesus went up the mountain to pray, taking Peter, John and James
with him (Luke.9:28), then “the fashion of his countenance was
altered, and his raiment was white and glistering” (Luke.9:29). This
is another type of the baptism with the holy Ghost. The cloud that
overshadowed them is a type of the holy Ghost. It is said: “& they
feared, as they entred into the cloude” (Luke.9:34).
On the DAY of Pentecost, people will see four men in heaven who came
forth “of the midst of the fire” and became like a blazing fire.
Scripture, characterizing the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ,
compares His feet with copper, heated in a furnace to a dazzling shine
(Rev.1:15), compares His eyes with a flame of fire (Rev.1:14), and
compares His face with the Sun shining in his power (Rev.1:16). Before
marriage of the Lamb which comes, there is none man in Christ
(Rev.19:7), and there cannot be a single person in Christ. We do not see
anyone who loves Him who would have already become “as the Sunne when
he goeth foorth in his might” (Judg.5:31).
Scripture calls mystery of the union of Christ and Church through the
action of the holy Ghost a new birth, the baptism with the holy Ghost,
and compares it with the rite that everyone understands - marriage. This
event is described in the work: “This is a great mystery”.
Two witnesses (Rev.11), turning to the man of sin, will ask him to let
the people of Israel go so that he may celebrate the feast of the Lord
in the third heaven in the new Jerusalem (Ex.5:1). They will tell him:
“The God of the Hebrewes hath met with vs: let vs goe, we pray thee,
three dayes iourney into the desert, and sacrifice vnto the Lord our
God” (Ex.5:3). And when they are refused, they will be striking
“Egypt” with ulcers.
The heavenly fire, which fell down, “consumed the burnt sacrifice,
and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked vp the water that
was in the trench” (1Kings.18:38), is a type of the baptism with
the holy Ghost. Here wood, stones, dust are a type of faithful, chosen
and called. Water is the Word of God.
When Moses ascended to the top of the mountain, “the Lord shewed him
all the land” (Deut.34:1). And the Lord said to him: “I gave you
to see it with your eyes, but you must not go there” (Deut.34:4).
Prince Michael will see with his own eyes the mystery of the union of
Christ and the Church, but he will not enter the Body of Christ.
The people of Israel, having seen the Lord Jesus Christ, will worship
Him and say: “The Lord, he is the God, the Lord, he is the God”
(1Kings.18:39).
“not yet fiftie yeeres”
Jesus told the Jews about His meeting with Abraham (John.8:56‑59). In
these verses, Scripture shows us a future time when the natural branches
will begin to graft onto their olive tree. The Jews angrily ask Jesus:
“Art thou greater then our father Abraham”
(John.8:53)?
In other words: “Are you more than our Shepherd, the father of many
nations, with whom God made a covenant?” The people of Israel will
not even know that he is resurrected. The Scripture in the words of the
Jews states that by that time not even fifty years have passed since the
Evangelist, the first to see the resurrected Jesus, will rejoice.
“Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day: and he saw it, & was glad.
Then said the Iewes vnto him, Thou art not yet fiftie yeeres olde, and
hast thou seene Abraham?
Iesus said vnto them, Uerely, verely I say vnto you, Before Abraham was,
I am”
(John.8:56‑58).
49 years will pass from the beginning of the harvest, and Israel will
begin to learn understanding (Dan.9:22).
Armageddon battle
After the DAY of Pentecost, all the kings of the earth will begin to
prepare for battle with the reigning Lord God. But the attempt to raise
a rebellion against Jesus Christ and the Anointed One of God is
unsuccessful. The kings of the earth are doomed to defeat. They will be
crushed with a rod of iron, and smashed to smithereens, like a potter's
vessel (Ps.2:9). Scripture, as it were, in perplexity asks the question:
“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vaine thing?
The Kings of the earth set themselues, and the rulers take counsell
together, against the Lord, and against his Anoynted, saying,
Let vs breake their bandes asunder, and cast away their cords from vs”
(Ps.2:1‑3).
The kings of the earth will gather the nations for the battle of the
great day of God Almighty, “into a place, called in the Hebrewe
tongue, Armageddon” (Rev.16:14‑16). For people which will be living
at that time, the Scripture advises: “Serue the Lord with feare, and
reioyce with trembling” (Ps.2:11), so that you do not perish in your
way.
“Blessed are all they that put their trust in him”
(Ps.2:12).
In the Battle of Armageddon, Prince Michael is shown to us sitting on a
white horse. He will lead the armies of heaven, which will follow
“him vpon white horses, clothed in fine linnen, white and cleane”
(Rev.19:14).
“And I sawe heauen opened, and behold a white horse, and hee that sate
vpon him was called faithful and true, and in righteousnes hee doth
iudge and make warre.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crownes, and
hee had a name written, that no man knew but he himselfe.
And hee was clothed with a vesture dipt in blood, and his name is
called, The word of God.
And the armies which were in heauen followed him vpon white horses,
clothed in fine linnen, white and cleane.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharpe sword, that with it hee should smite
the nations: and he shal rule them with a rod of yron: and he treadeth
the winepresse of the fiercenesse and wrath of Almighty God.
And he hath on his vesture, and on his thigh a name written, King Of
Kings, And Lord Of Lords”
(Rev.19:11‑16).
Scripture shows us a leader who shed a lot of blood on the earth, waging
great wars. His clothes are splattered with blood and he sits on a
warhorse. Please note that the words “faithful”, “true” in the verse
(Rev.19:11) are written with a lowercase letter, and not capitalized.
But in the next verse, Scripture shows us Jesus Christ and the Church.
John saw “an Angel standing in the Sunne, and hee cried with a lowd
voyce, saying to all the foules that flie in the midst of heauen, Come
and gather your selues together vnto the supper of the great God”
(Rev.19:17).
The Angel standing in the Sun, as well the Angel sitting on a large
stone, is a type of Jesus Christ and the Church. Compare with the verse
(Matt.28:2‑4).
When Jesus was resurrected, “there was a great earthquake, for the
Angel of the Lord descended from heauen, and came and rolled backe the
stone from the doore, and sate vpon it.
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snowe”
(Matt.28:2‑3).
In this type, Scripture shows us the second coming of the Lord Jesus
Christ and the defeat of all His adversaries, gathered for battle with
Him, because “for feare of him, the keepers did shake, and became as
dead men” (Matt.28:4).
“And the beast was taken, & with him the false prophet ...
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sate vpon the
horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth”
(Rev.19:20‑21)
Called, & chosen, and faithfull will be “as the Sunne when he goeth
foorth in his might” (Judg.5:31).
“a champion …, named Goliath”
“Benaiah” will kill two lion-like men (the beast and the false prophet),
but the Scripture says that he will also kill “an Egyptian a goodly
man”. Who is he?
“he slew an Egyptian a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a speare in his
hand; but he went downe to him with a staffe, and plucked the speare out
of the Egyptians hand, and slewe him with his owne speare”
(2Sam.23:21).
An Egyptian a goodly man is the “an Image to the beast”
(Rev.13:14), which will be installed “in the plaine of Dura, in the
prouince of Babylon” (Dan.3:1). This huge golden “idol” will be
clearly visible to everyone. King Nebuchadnezzar, who installed the
Image (Dan.3), is a type of the beast from the sea.
In the second and third chapters of the book of Daniel, we are shown the
events of the last months of the 70th week of Daniel. This will be the
time before the DAY of Pentecost. This idol is described in a vision to
the king: “this great image whose brightnesse was excelleut” “and the
forme thereof was terrible” (Dan.2:31). This prototype is discussed
in more detail in the chapter ”This is a great mystery”.
Each person living at that time will have to appear before him, having
made his choice: to devote himself to the Image of the beast or be
beheaded by it (Rev.20:4). Deceived people from all nations, tribes and
languages will flock to him, devoting their lives to serving the beast
and his Image. Dedication includes worshiping him and receiving a mark
in the right hand or in forehead.
He will cause “all, both smal and great rich and poore, free and
bond, to receiue a marke in their right hand, or in their foreheads”
(Rev.13:16).
The Image of the beast, like a huge idol, will speak and act so that
everyone “that as many as would not worship the Image of the beast,”
(Rev.13:15) should be killed. He, like a combatant, will be ready to
fight with everyone. The prototype of this idol is “a champion …,
named Goliath”
Ҧ And there went out a champion out of the campe of the Philistines,
named Goliath of Gath: whose height was sixe cubites and a span”
(1Sam.17:4).
Goliath was clad in brass armor from head to foot. He was wearing: a
brass helmet, scaly brass armor, brass knee pads, a brass shield. The
giant, three meters tall, on which polished brass glittered in the sun
like gold, looked like a huge golden idol.
In the 17th chapter of the book of 1 Kings, we are figuratively shown
the time when the Image of the beast will be set and will begin to act
(Rev.13:14). Six months will remain until the DAY of Pentecost. The
Orthodox Church on the eve of this time will already be destroyed,
“the hammer of the whole earth” will be cut sundered and broken!
(Jer.50:23). Scripture speaks on behalf of the Lord to the people of
Israel:
“Remoue out of the midst of Babylon, and goe foorth out of the land of
the Caldeans, and be as the hee goats before the flocks”
(Jer.50:8).
The people of Israel, who survived this battle, will leave the land of
the Chaldees, hiding in the gorges of the rocks (1Sam.14:11). And all
those who at this time will be in Judea, “let them ... flee into the
mountaines” (Matt.24:16). They, cut off from people, will wander in
the mountains like lost sheep (Jer.50:6), their dwelling will be with
the beasts of the field. They will feed on grass like oxen, and the dew
of heaven will irrigate them. They will grow hair that will look
“like Egles feathers” and their nails will look “like birds
clawes” (Dan.4:33). Scripture, making this comparison, indicates to
us that they will hide high in the mountains. They will hide for five
months (Luke.1:24), on the sixth they will speak openly. Six months
(Ruth.3:17) will be given to Israel for correction, until they learn
that “the most high ruleth in the kingdome of men, and giueth it to
whomsoeuer he will” (Dan.4:32). Hiding in the mountains, fleeing
from the revived idol, they will be saved from his sword. And who of
them believes the false prophets and comes out of the gorges of the
rocks - he will perish (Matt.24:26).
“And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and
were sore afraid”
(1Sam.17:24).
On the DAY of Pentecost, the kingdoms of the world will become the
kingdoms of “our Lord, and of his Christ” (Rev.11:15). Scripture
speaks of the Lord Jesus Christ and Prince Michael. But the Gentiles and
nations will rise up against Them (Ps.2:2), (Acts.4:26) in order to
throw off “their bandes”. Devil spirits will begin to gather
people for battle. By showing signs (Rev.16:14), they will deceive many.
It is not difficult to deceive a person whose deeds are evil and who
love darkness.
“Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battell, and were
gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Iudah, and pitched...”
(1Sam.17:1).
They will be gathered “like grashoppers for multitude”
(Judg.7:12). Their strength will be many times greater than the strength
of the host of heaven. They will boast of their weapons, chariots and
horses. But their main force will be a giant idol, capable of killing
the enemy in any battle. The strength, height and brilliance of
Goliath's armor will leave no doubt about its special power. They will
be absolutely sure of their victory.
“And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by
the valley of Elah, and set the battell in aray against the Philistines”
(1Sam.17:2).
In the story, when from the ranks of the Philistines a champion named
Goliath (1Sam.17:23) came out, and David, who came to the camp, heard
his cocky words, we are shown the time that will come after the DAY of
Pentecost. Goliath's words expressed contempt for the Israelites. The
Philistine did not just say (Rev.13:15), but already shouted: “Why
are yee come out to set your battell in aray? am not I a Philistine, and
you seruants to Saul? chuse you a man for you, and let him come downe to
me” (1Sam.17:8).
In other words: “How dare you come out against us? Am I not free, and
you are servants of Christ? Choose a person and let him come down to
me”. His words in a prophetic sense will be addressed to the host of
heaven.
David, called by Saul, told the king about how the Lord had already
delivered him from the Lion and the Bear: “Thy seruant slew both the
Lyon and the Beare” (1Sam.17:36). This means that the beast “&
with him the false prophet” (Rev.19:20) will be seized and “cast
aliue into a lake of fire burning with brimstone”. It is said: he
“caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him” (1Sam.17:35).
“The Lord that deliuered me out of the paw of the Lyon, and out of the
pawe of the Beare, he will deliuer me out of the hand of this
Philistine. And Saul said vnto Dauid, Goe, and the Lord be with thee”
(1Sam.17:37).
The Lord Jesus Christ will receive all authority in heaven and on earth.
David's words to the Philistine testify to this:
“Thou commest to mee with a sword, and with a speare, and with a shield:
but I come to thee in the Name of the Lord of hostes, the God of the
armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
This day wil the Lord deliuer thee into mine hand, and I will smite
thee, and take thine head from thee, and I wil giue the carkeises of the
host of the Philistines this day vnto the foules of the aire, and to the
wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a
God in Israel.
And all this assembly shal know that the Lord saueth not with sword &
speare (for the battell is the Lords) and he will giue you into our
hands.”
(1Sam.17:45‑47).
Here the question may arise: Why did not Saul come out to duel with
Goliath? Did he get chickened out or lost heart? Neither one nor the
other. The fact is that Saul in this story is a type of Jesus Christ, so
his entry into a duel with Goliath was impossible. The battle of that
day was necessary for the Author of Scripture to create the desired
image. Otherwise, this story would not have been in Scripture. But there
are no accidents with God, everything is subject to His will.
“And the Philistine said vnto Dauid, Am I a dog, that thou commest to me
with staues? and the Philistine cursed Dauid by his gods”
(1Sam.17:43).
His question already contains the answer. The idol will serve the beast
like a dog that faithfully and faithfully serves its master. The
Philistine made a mistake, because of his arrogance, he did not
recognize two objects in David's hands; he took them for sticks, with
which, in his opinion, one can only beat dogs.
Just as David killed Goliath with the help of a “stick”, so Prince
Michael, having a rod, will destroy the Image of the beast.
David “tooke his staffe in his hand, and chose him fiue smoothe
stones out of the brooke, and put them in a shepheards bag which he had,
euen in a scrip, and his sling was in his hande, and he drew neere to
the Philistine” (1Sam.17:40).
The structure of the sling can be different. David, presumably, had a
pole sling, also called a Fustibulus. The early Roman army even had
units composed of Fustibularia. Therefore, the “sticks” with which David
went to Goliath were: the longest, served as a staff, and the other,
short, and looked like a rod, was throwing.
When “David” comes down to the idol, he will have a rod and a staff in
his hands, his weapon will be the Word of God, which is “sharper then
any two edged sword” (Heb.4:12), “hee doth iudge and make warre.”
John saw “heauen opened” and one sitting on a white horse
(Rev.19:11). It will be enough for “David” to say the word, raise his
rod and direct it by reaching out his hand. In an instant, the Image
will be ground into fine dust (disassembled into molecules), and carried
away by the wind. Not even a trace of his ashes will remain.
“And out of his mouth goeth a sharpe sword, that with it hee should
smite the nations: and he shal rule them with a rod of yron: and he
treadeth the winepresse of the fiercenesse and wrath of Almighty God”
(Rev.19:15).
Pay attention, before Goliath there was “one bearing a shield”
(1Sam.17:7). This man had no weapon, he only carried a shield. Goliath
had his little round shield of brass between his shoulders. It is not
for nothing that Scripture clarifies to us that his shield was small and
round. Presumably, the person walking in front had a much larger shield
of a rectangular shape. Considering his height, he completely covered
his body. Whom does the Scripture show us in this type? We are shown a
giant who follows his master like an obedient dog and waits for the
command: “Take-it!”. In the form of “one bearing a shield”, we are shown
a beast from the sea.
The stone that smashed the idol (Dan.2:44‑45) and the stone that killed
the Philistine (1Sam.17:49) are the prototypes of the host of heaven,
crushing all the kingdoms of the earth on the day of the second coming
of the Lord Jesus Christ. They will all be crushed with a rod of iron,
and smashed to smithereens, like a potter's vessel (Ps.2:9).
“the Sheapheard, the stone of Israel”
Scripture says that “his wrath is kindled but a little”
(Ps.2:12). Prince Michael with the host of heaven will represent a very
small part of the entire host of heaven. It's like a stone compared to
the whole mountain. Scripture says that a stone was cut out without
hands (Dan.2:34). The mountain, like the sun, is a type of the Church of
God.
“Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote
the image vpon his feete that were of yron and clay, and brake them to
pieces.
Then was the yron, the clay, the brasse, the siluer, and the golde
broken to pieces together, and became like the chaffe of the summer
threshing floores, and the wind caried them away, that no place was
found for them: & the stone that smote the image became a great
mountaine, and filled the whole earth”
(Dan.2:34‑35).
The type of this battle is the attack of Gideon on the camp of the
Midianites and defeat it. Out of the entire detachment of 32,000
soldiers, only 300 soldiers remained with Gideon, the rest were sent to
their homes (Judg.7). Gideon descended into the camp of the enemy and
heard how one told another his dream. In this story, “a cake of
Barley bread,” which “tumbled into the hoste of Midian, and came
vnto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and ouerturned it, that the tent
lay along” is also a type of the Church of God (Judg.7:13) ... More
precisely, it will be “the stone of Israel” that will crush all
the kingdoms of the earth. In this type, he is called: “the sword of
Gideon” (Judg.7:14). All who go out at that time to fight against
Israel will be defeated and take flight.
Gideon divided three hundred people “into three companies”
(Judg.7:16) and, attacking the camp of the Midianites, put them to
flight. Three hundred men opposed the enemy, who was in multitudes like
locusts and like sand on the seashore.
Scripture, referring to the division of soldiers “into three
companies”, shows us the composition of the host of heaven
(Rev.19:14). It will be composed of called, & chosen, and faithfull, but
specially selected.
Abraham's defeat of “Chedorlaomer, and the Kings that were with him”
(Gen.14) is another type of the destruction of all the kingdoms of the
earth on “that great day of God Almighty” (Rev.16:14). Abram
armed his servants, there were 318 of them, and, dividing himself,
attacked the enemy at night. Prince Michael with his army will be like a
small detachment.
The Lord told Gideon: “The people that are with thee, are too many
for me to giue the Midianites into their handes, lest Israel vaunt
themselues against mee, saying, Mine owne hand hath saued me”
(Judg.7:2).
Prince Michael with his army, like a stone, will hit the idol and break
it (Dan.2:35). This “stone” crushing all the kingdoms of the
earth will become a great mountain, filling the whole earth with itself
(Dan.2:35) - “the Saints of the most high shall take the kingdome, &
possesse the kingdome for euer, euen for euer & euer” (Dan.7:18).
At the beginning of his ministry, the Evangelist will go to a foreign
land and become a Shepherd (Gen.49:24), but will be rejected by the
builders (Matt.21:42). They, due to their poor eyesight, will stumble
over this stone. And when he comes a second time, he will be a crushing
stone that will fall on them from above.
“And whosoeuer shall fall on this stone, shalbe broken: but on whom
soeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to powder”
(Matt.21:44).
For peoples and kings, this transformation of the Evangelist will be so
contrasting in their eyes that they will not be able to open their
mouths in surprise. The Lord says about him:
Ҧ Behold, my seruant shal deale prudently, he shall be exalted and
extolled, and be very high.
As many were astonied at thee (his visage was so marred more then any
man, and his forme more then the sonnes of men: )
So shall hee sprinckle many nations, the kings shall shut their mouthes
at him: for that which had not beene told them, shall they see, and that
which they had not heard, shall they consider”
(Is.52:13‑15).
Solemn entry of the Lord Jesus Christ into Jerusalem
The solemn entry of Jesus into Jerusalem (Matt.21:5) is a type of His
second coming. He learns about the evil that a man of sin will do by
living and feasting with the nobles in “a chamber in the courts of
the house of God” (Neh.13:7‑9). The beast will turn the Temple of
God into “a denne of theeues” (Matt.21:13). Jesus Christ will
throw out all the household belongings of the man of sin from the Temple
room, cleanse the rooms, cleanse the Temple, and resume the ministry.
Ҧ And Iesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that
sold and bought in the Temple, and ouerthrew the tables of the money
changers, and the seats of them that solde doues”
(Matt.21:12).
The blind who became to see, and the lame healed will praise the Lord
(Matt.21:16). It is they who are called babes and suckling’s, although
to that time they already “ought to bee teachers” (Heb.5:12).
Further, in this 21 chapter of the book of the Gospel of Matthew, we are
figuratively shown how a crushing stone falls from a height. Jesus
cursed the fig tree. “And presently the figge tree withered away”
(Matt.21:19). Jesus standing before the fig tree looked like David
facing off against Goliath. Fig trees can grow up to 9 meters tall. We
are shown a prototype of the Battle of Armageddon. All the rebels will
be “slain with the sword of him that sate vpon the horse, which sword
proceeded out of his mouth” (Rev.19:21). This will be revenge for
the shed blood of all those killed for the Word of God (Rev.6:9‑10).
From this type 21 onwards, Scripture tells us about Prince Michael.
Jesus and then John the Baptist are his types.
The question may arise: “Why will the heavenly host be led by Prince
Michael, and not Jesus Christ?”
The Lord Jesus Christ will make decisions and give orders. But Prince
Michael will be the closest EXECUTOR of His orders (2Sam.23:23), acting
by His authority and on His behalf. He will be the direct executor of
the punitive function of the Lord Jesus Christ. His weapon will be the
Word of God. He “make warre”.
Jesus entered Jerusalem not on a war horse. Scripture says that the King
will ride “vpon an asse, and vpon a colt”. This is a type of
Jesus Christ, the Church of the first born and her offspring: chosen and
called.
Ҧ Reioyce greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout O daughter of Ierusalem:
beholde, thy King commeth vnto thee: hee is iust, and hauing saluation,
lowly, and riding vpon an asse, and vpon a colt, the foale of an asse”
(Zech.9:9).
Everyone knows that the donkey is the stubbornest animal in the world.
And here the question arises: "Why does the Scripture, characterizing
the behavior of faithful, and chosen and called, use such an offensive
type?"
The fact is that people who trust the Word of God stand out strongly
against the general background. Scripture says that “all that will
liue godly in Christ Iesus, shall suffer persecution” (2Tim.3:12).
The world does not understand them, and in an attempt to tame them, it
cannot put a bridle on them, they are stubborn like wild donkeys that
this world is not able to ride.
Now it is clear why Jesus sat on “a Colt”, “whereon yet neuer man
sate” (Luke.19:30). Scripture shows us that none of the people who
have friendship with this world will enter the Church of God
(James.4:4). Christ will declare to them: “I neuer knew you: Depart
from me, ye that worke iniquity” (Matt.7:23).
Fighting in the future 1000 years of peace
The war between the Amalekites and the Israelites in Rephidim (Ex.17:8)
is a prototype of the battle of Prince Michael and the people of Israel
against the rulers of the darkness of this age, with the support of the
Church of God throughout the Millennium. Their battle will be “not
against flesh and blood” (Eph.6:12), and it is necessary to complete
the construction of the Temple not made by hands.
Called, & chosen, and faithfull in the future 1000 years will be placed
“on the top of the hill” (Ex.17:9) - in heaven. Moses sitting on
a stone is a type of the Head and Body, a type of Jesus Christ and the
Church. The rod of God will be in the hand of the Lord Jesus Christ
(Ex.17:9).
“But Moses hands were heauie, and they tooke a stone, and put it vnder
him, and he sate thereon: and Aaron and Hur stayed vp his hands, the one
on the one side, and the other on the other side, and his handes were
steady vntill the going downe of the Sunne”
(Ex.17:12).
Prince Michael, with his chosen men, will remain to fight the
“Amalekites”. He is shown in the form of Jesus.
“And Moses said vnto Ioshua, Choose vs out men, and goe out, fight with
Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill, with the rodde of
God in mine hand”
(Ex.17:9).
Before the setting of the Sun (before the end of the 1000 years of
peace), the Prince will smash “Amalek” “with the edge of the sword”
(Ex.17:13). His “sharpe sword” is the Word of God that
proceeds from his mouth (Rev.19:15).
“And Ioshua discomfited Amalek, and his people, with the edge of the
sword”
(Ex.17:13).
The deposition of Amalek means a complete and final victory over Satan
(Rev.20). People living on earth in the future 1000 years of peace will
be “wicked, and sinners before the LORD exceedingly” (Gen.13:13),
the whole world will lie “in wickednesse” (1John.5:19). And
therefore, the battle with the “people of Amalek”, without stopping for
a minute, will last until the sun goes down.
Ephesians chapter 6 tells about preparation for this battle.
Instructions are given for Christians who will live in the Millennium.
Apparel and weapons necessary for victory are listed: belt, breastplate,
shoes, shield, helmet, sword.
“For wee wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darknes of
this world, against spirituall wickednes in high places.
Wherfore take vnto you the whole armour of God, that yee may be able to
withstand in the euill day, and hauing done all, to stand”
(Eph.6:12‑13).
In chapter 18 of 1 Samuel we are figuratively shown the events that will
occur after the defeat of the kingdoms of the earth on the day of the
second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are shown the Lord's making
of the New Covenant with Israel. The transfer of the armor of God to
Prince Michael for the battle with the Amalekites is shown.
“Then Ionathan and Dauid made a couenant, because he loued him as his
owne soule.
And Ionathan stript himselfe of the robe that was vpon him, and gaue it
to Dauid, and his garments, euen to his sword, and to his bow, and to
his girdle.
¶ And Dauid went out, whither soeuer Saul sent him, and behaued himselfe
wisely: and Saul set him ouer the men of warre, and he was accepted in
the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Sauls seruants”
(1Sam.18:3‑5).
Prince Michael and the people of Israel will receive all the necessary
“power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and ouer all the power of
the enemie: and nothing shall by any meanes hurt” them (Luke.10:19).
Prince Michael will behave wisely. He will be set “ouer the men of
warre” and accepted “in the sight of all the people, and also in
the sight” of God's servants.
“And the land was not able to beare them”
In the second chapter of Daniel, Scripture shows us Prince Michael.
“Then the King made Daniel a great man, and gaue him many great gifts, &
made him ruler ouer the whole prouince of Babylon, and chiefe of the
gouernours ouer all the wise men of Babylon.
Then Daniel requested of the King, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego ouer the affaires of the prouince of Babylon: but Daniel sate
in the gate of the King”
(Dan.2:48‑49).
In the form of Shadrah, Mishah, and Abdenago are shown called, & chosen,
and faithfull in heaven. In the Epistles to the Ephesians, they are
called the Saincts and faithful in Christ Jesus (Eph.1:1). God will
bless them in Christ Jesus “with all spirituall blessings in heauenly
places” (Eph.1:3). At the request of Prince Mikhail, they will be in
the deep rear, and he himself will be at the forefront. It is said: they
are placed “ouer the affaires of the prouince of Babylon”.
The very first prototype showing the formation of the front and rear in
the future battle with the “Amalekites” is in the 13th chapter of
Genesis. Scripture speaks of the transitions of Abram, who, having risen
with his wife, was “very rich in cattell, in siluer, and in gold”
(Gen.13:2).
Ҧ And Lot also which went with Abram, had flocks and heards, & tents.
And the land was not able to beare them, that they might dwell together:
for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together”
(Gen.13:5‑6).
We are shown the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Church is
shown to us in the type of Abram's wife. He will go all the places where
“his tent had bene at the beginning” (Gen.13:3), and unto “the
place of the altar”, where He called on the Name of the LORD
(Gen.13:4).
Prince Michael will also walk with the Lord, who will also have his own
“flocks and heards, & tents” Then Scripture shows us a conflict
situation.
“And the land was not able to beare them, that they might dwell
together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell
together”
(Gen.13:6).
For the joint residence of the Lord Jesus Christ and Prince Michael, the
land for Them will be non-accommodating. For “their substance”
will be very great. Jesus Christ will have called, & chosen, and
faithfull, and Prince Michael will have the people of Israel. At the
same time, both of them will be in a hostile environment.
“Then Lot chose him all the plaine of Iordane: and Lot iourneyed East;
and they separated themselues the one from the other.
Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of
the plaine, and pitched his tent toward Sodome.
But the men of Sodome were wicked, and sinners before the LORD
exceedingly”
(Gen.13:11‑13).
“Lot”, having made his choice, will go to the wicked and sinners. He
will sit at the gates of the city, because, “They that are whole need
not a physician: but they that are sicke” (Luke.5:31). And he will
come “not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance”
(Luke.5:32).
So, the Lord Jesus Christ, after three months being on earth
(Luke.1:56), will ascend “to the top of the hill”, and Prince
Michael with the people of Israel will remain to fight on earth
(Ex.17:10). It is said: “hee doth iudge and make warre”.
Notice the prophetic context of the previous chapter 12 of Genesis. The
chapter ends with the release of Abram's wife, who was taken into the
house of Pharaoh. That is, we are shown the events preceding the second
coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the gate of the King
In the future 1000 years of peace, Israel will have a leader and a
judge. He will sit “in the gate of the King” in Jerusalem. And in
the case of a difficult case in court: “betweene blood and blood,
betweene plea and plea, and betweene stroke and stroke,” people will
come to him to he might judge them or give advice (Deut.17:8‑9).
“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stemme of Iesse, and a
branch shal grow out of his rootes.
And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest vpon him, the spirit of wisedome
and vnderstanding, the spirit of counsell and might, the spirit of
knowledge, and of the feare of the Lord:
And shal make him of quicke vnderstanding in the feare of the Lord, and
he shall not iudge after the sight of his eyes, neither reproue after
the hearing of his eares.
But with righteousnesse shall he iudge the poore, and reprooue with
equitie, for the meeke of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with
the rodde of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay
the wicked.
And righteousnesse shalbe the girdle of his loines, and faithfulnesse
the girdle of his reines”
(Is.11:1‑5).
A rod out of the stemme of Jesse is a type of the Lord Jesus Christ. A
branch out of his rootes is the Prince and Judge in Israel.
The gate of the King is the outer gate of the sanctuary in the future
Temple. They, facing the East, will be closed (Ezek.44:1), after the
Lord Jesus Christ enters them at the time of His second coming. And only
one person will have the right to sit in it: “the Prince, hee shall
sit in it”. This land, as God promised, will be given “for a
possession, and to his seed after him” (Acts.7:5), (Heb.11:8).
The Temple of the future 1000 years of peace was shown Ezekiel “in
the visions of God” (Ezek.40:2). The Lord told him:
“This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter
in by it; because the Lord the God of Israel hath entred in by it,
therefore it shall be shut.
It is for the Prince; the Prince, hee shall sit in it to eate bread
before the Lord: hee shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate,
and shall goe out by the way of the same”
(Ezek.44:2‑3).
This gate will be built during the construction of the Third temple in
Jerusalem. During the construction of a new temple, they will be
connected to the outer courtyard of the new temple through an extension
(the porch).
In the 6th chapter of the book of Zechariah, we are shown the judgment
of the people in the country of the north, in which Israel will be
enslaved for four years. The people coming out of captivity, leaving
Babylon, will come out “with great substance” (Gen.15:13‑14).
Crowns will be made of their silver and gold. We are shown the ceremony
of the crown of the Prince to the kingdom. A royal Crown will be placed
on His head. At the same time, He will be told:
“And speake vnto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, saying,
Behold, the man whose name is the Branch, and he shall growe vp out of
his place, and he shall build the Temple of the Lord:
Euen he shall build the temple of the Lord, and he shal beare the glory,
and shall sit and rule vpon his throne, and he shall be a priest vpon
his throne, and the counsell of peace shall bee betweene them both”
(Zech.6:12‑13).
The Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem will be built by a man whose name is
the Branch. He will build a Temple and sit in the gate of the King. He
will be King and Priest. Israel has never had a priest who sat on his
throne and ruled. He will be a Priest after the order of Melchizedek!
“a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchisedec”
In the book “To the Hebrews,” Scripture explains the need for a
different Priest to minister “after the order of Melchisedec, and not
bee called after the order of Aaron.” Another Priest mentioned in
chapter 7 verse 11 is Jesus Christ. On the DAY of Pentecost, He will
become King, still being the High Priest. Therefore, it is said that He
is “an high Priest for euer after the order of Melchisedec”
(Heb.6:20). But on the DAY of Pentecost, another Priest will arise up,
but from the tribe of Joseph.
“If therefore perfection were by the Leuiticall Priesthood (for vnder it
the people receiued the Law) what further neede was there, that another
Priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not bee called
after the order of Aaron?”
(Heb.7:11).
“For it is euident that our Lorde sprang out of Iuda, of which tribe
Moses spake nothing cōcerning Priesthood”
(Heb.7:14).
Until verse 14, Scripture speaks of Jesus Christ, proving to us that it
is impossible for man to attain perfection through the Levitical
Priesthood. But from the next verse, Scripture with the words: “And
it is yet farre more euident”, tells us about Prince Michael.
“And it is yet farre more euident: for that after the similitude of
Melchisedec there ariseth another Priest” (Heb.7:15).
In the likeness of the High Priest Jesus Christ, “another Priest”
will appear - Prince Michael. It is said about Him: “The Lord sware
and wil not repent, thou art a Priest for euer after the order of
Melchisedec” (Heb.7:21).
Scripture, continuing to show the superiority of the new Priest after
the order of Melchizedek over the Levitical Priests after the order of
Aaron, says:
“And they truely were many Priests, because they were not suffered to
continue by reason of death.
But this man because hee continueth euer, hath an vnchangeable
Priesthood”
(Heb.7:23‑24).
And besides, “this man” will not need to make a sacrifice every
day, like those High Priests.
“for this he did once, when he offered vp himselfe”
(Heb.7:27).
In the synodic translation, the verse (Heb.7:24) is distorted, as if the
translators were afraid for the phrase: “this man.”
Jesus Christ will be the High Priest, and the Anointed of God the
Priest, and both of them will be after the order of Melchizedek.
“and the counsell of peace shall bee betweene them both”
(Zech.6:12‑13).
“If his children forsake my lawe”
Moses instructed the people on the eve of their crossing of the Jordan
to take possession of the land. By his words Scripture shows us the
Lord's making of the New Covenant with the people of Israel. At making
of the New Testament, the Lord will call heaven and earth as witnesses.
What does this mean?
“I call heauen and earth to record this day against you, that I haue set
before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life,
that both thou and thy seed may liue”
(Deut.30:17‑19).
If the people obey His commandments, then their days on earth will last.
And if they begin to worship other gods, they will die. Moreover, the
whole world, the Universe, will perish.
In the future 1000 years of peace, Israel will begin to fill itself with
offerings, and then completely abandon the Lord and begin to serve
another's gods. For deviating from the oath given by the people of
Israel, their descendants will begin to die in the prime of their years,
not reaching old age (1Sam.2:32‑33). The Lord will bring evil upon them
and will destroy them after he has done them good.
Jesus told the healed man: “Behold, thou art made whole: sinne no
more, lest a worse thing come vnto thee” (John.5:14). But he did not
listen to Him and continued to sin. He went and told the Jews that Jesus
had commanded him to break the Sabbath resting law. On the DAY of
Pentecost, Israel will be made healthy, only the sinful nature in man
will remain. Scripture reminds those who know that “the Lord hauing
saued the people out of the land of Egypt afterward destroied them that
beleeued not” (Jude.1:5).
In the 16th chapter of the book of Judges, we are shown how Samson,
having entered towards the harlot, was saved from the inhabitants who
were in wait for him, thanks to the incredible physical strength that
was given to him from above from God.
The next paragraph of this chapter begins a story about a new period of
time, and Israel's next love for another's gods.
Ҧ And it came to passe afterward, that he loued a woman in the valley
of Sorek, whose name was Delilah”
(Judg.16:4).
In the coming 1000 years of peace, Israel will once again show a passion
for serving another's gods. He will love another harlot with a cunning
heart. And this passion of his will become fatal. The harlot will be
involved in a conspiracy against Israel. It will feel like a fun game at
first. She will captivate him with many affectionate words, and the
softness of her lips will take possession of him. He will follow her and
open his heart to her like a bird that hurries into a trap, and does not
know that it is for its destruction (Prov.7:23).
Israel, called to proclaim the name of the Lord before the nations and
kings, will suddenly become like Samson with his eyes gouged out
(Judg.16:21), like King Solomon, whom foreign wives have brought into
sin. Israel will lose spiritual sight and spiritual gifts. The Lord will
depart from him (Judg.16:20). The people of Israel, breaking their oath,
will remain on the earth until the last moment of its existence, unlike
the Gentiles who believed, who will be raptured on the eve.
Jesus answered the sons of Zebedee, and prophetically, the Scripture
addresses those of the people of Israel who will be written in the book
of life (Dan.12:1): “Yee shall drinke indeed of my cup, and be
baptized with the baptisme that I am baptized with” (Matt.20:23).
Jesus crucified on the cross is a type of the people of Israel in the
last days of the existence of heaven and earth. The only Gospel that
shows the people of Israel after the end of Gentile times is the Gospel
of John. In this Gospel, Jesus crucified on the Cross does not address
God with the words: “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee?”
(Matt.27:46), (Mark.15:34). And the people around him do not wait for
Elijah to come. Only in this Gospel Jesus, crucified on the Cross, says:
“It is finished” (John.19:30).
When the thousand years are over, the nations will again go out to
battle against Jerusalem (Rev.20:7). The Gentiles will cast lots for
Jerusalem and will enter by its gate (Obad.1:11). They will stand at the
crossroads to kill those who fled from the city, they will give out
those who survived from it on the day of the disaster (Obd.1:14). They
will rob property on the day of their distress, and rejoice “ouer the
children of Iudah in the day of their destruction” (Obad.1:12). In
an instant, “onely this once”, the people of Israel will fully
understand their mission in this world.
“O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, & strengthen mee, I pray thee,
onely this once, O God, that I may be at once auenged of the
Philistines, for my two eyes”
(Judg.16:28).
The last word of their prayer will be the word “It is finished.”
Fire will fall from heaven from God and devour all nations (Rev.20:9).
Heaven will disappear with a great roar, all matter will melt from the
blazing heat, “the earth also and the works that are therin shalbe
burnt vp” (2Pet.3:10). God will roll up the earth and heaven as
useless clothing (Heb.1:12). Like Samson, He will move the two middle
pillars on which the Universe is established.
“the heauens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall waxe old
like a garment, and they that dwel therein shall die in like maner”,
but the Lord's salvation will be eternal, and His righteousness will not
be abolished (Is.51:6).
