June 27, 2020 Walking in the Holy Spirit by Dr. Charles Stanley
A wonderful video that presents the Holy Spirit in an intimate and powerful way in the lives of the believer. In the year 1977 the Holy Soirit in the form of a white cove landed in the door mat inside of the apartment I was living in and in the short three minutes he stood there I knew that my live had changed in a very powerful way.
My walk with Jesus and the Holy Spirit who with God the father have guided and enriched my live is a personal testimony as to the truths found in this great sermon.

‘In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will be speaking the language of Canaan and swearing allegiance to the LORD of hosts; one will be called the City of Destruction. In that day there will be an altar to YHVH in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to YHVH near its border. It will become a Sign and a Witness to YHVH of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to YHVH because of oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Champion, and He will deliver them.’ – Isaiah 19:18-20
The purpose of this study it to consider the numerical measurement of the Great Pyramid of Giza as it pertains to the length of its perimeter base, that being 3024 feet. This specific measurement constitutes the 4-square base lengths of 756 feet each or roughly 230 meters. This study suggests that perhaps the Great Pyramid has also encoded the length of ‘Time’ as it correlates to the end of Time as Humanity knows in relation to the 1000-year Millennial Reign of Christ. Biblically speaking, it is understood in eschatological terms that at the 2nd advent, Jesus Christ returns to Earth, physically and literally. Jesus will complete His promise of establishing the Kingdom of GOD on Earth at that time. This specific promise was bestowed upon the Jewish nation of an expectation of grandeur and rulership over the Nations and Kingly Throne, etc.
Incidentally, this Kingdom to come would or could have been initiated at Jesus’ 1st advent but as He was rejected of His own, it postponed the Reign of Christ. It did allow however for the prophetic ‘Intercession’ of the Church Age. This current dispensation of ‘Time’ is when the Gentiles can be also grafted into the ‘Commonwealth of Israel’. Such have the privilege to share in the promise of salvation from the Fall that would have lead to Eternal Damnation. The promises are also to share in the dominion to come over the Earth and Universe, etc. Specifically, the Messiah of Israel is currently taking for Himself a Gentile Bride in the same way YHVH took Israel as a ‘wife’, prophetically speaking. Once such a ‘building’ is completed, YHVH will turn His attention and purpose to conclude His dealings directly with national Israel.
Upon that conclusion, Jesus returns and sets-up the Millennial Kingdom that was promised to Israel. Since Jesus is from the direct bloodline of King David, not only will Jesus rule Israel from Jerusalem on David’s Throne, but all the Nations on Earth and the whole Universe. Why? The Bible teaches that all authority and power in Heaven and under Heaven has been given to Jesus because of what He accomplished at the Cross of Calvary. No other ‘god’ such as Allah, or Buddha or Krishna will or can have such a prerogative, contrary to much false religion. No Lucifer will be found to tempt Humanity and weaken the Angels and the Nations anymore, etc. Thus, the present ‘Time’ of the Church Age has served to have this 2nd Adam build a Bride to co-rule with Jesus Christ.
The Church Age Time
Could it be that one of the clues hidden in plain sight of what might constitute ‘Prophetic Time’ has to do with the perimeter of the Great Pyramid that ‘clocks’ this very notion? As it is, the Great Pyramid is said to mysteriously ‘clock’ the ‘Ages’ and ‘Time’, etc. The notion of a building or structure as the Great Pyramid telling ‘Time’ is not fare-fetched. Do not important buildings have a clock in a prominent place that tell time? Think of courthouses, government buildings and primarily Churches. If one of the Church building functions is to tell ‘Time’, can it be no different in how the Great Pyramid is telling ‘Time’ with its sacred measurements? The following is the suggested timeline if one expands the base length of the entire Great Pyramid and converts that into ‘Time’ or years to suggest a possible delineation of the present dimension of ‘Time’.
A perimeter is a path that surrounds a 2-dimensional shape. Term may be used either for the path or its length. The perimeter of a circle or ellipse is called its circumference. For example if Great Pyramid height = 480.9 feet or 229 Sacred Cubits. Then Perimeter = 3024 feet.
Pi x 2 x Radius 3.14… x 962 feet = 3024 then 3024/2.1 Sacred Cubits = 1440 Sacred Cubits

|—————————————————————————————————|
120 Jubilee Cycles
The coefficient of each side of the Great Pyramid is also measured as 360 Sacred Cubits. This alludes to the 360 degrees in the circle or circumference of the 4-square layout. The perimeter equals to 1440 Sacred Cubits which in turn prophetically echoes the 144,000 that are to be Sealed during the Tribulation Period. There will be 12,000 chosen, each from the 12 Tribes of Israel for a total of 144,000. Such is another amazing prophetic template of how the 12 Tribes were in similar fashion situated also as a 360 Sacred Cubit around the Tabernacle of Moses that was also ‘4-squared’.
Can it be no different with the spiritual Church Body that Jesus Christ is presently building and subject to ‘Prophetic Time? Many theologians believe that such a dispensation of the Church Age has been allotted 2 ‘Prophetic Day’s or approximately 2000 years to conclude its mission and ‘construction’. If this is the case, then the Church Age is about to conclude. As the Church Age was initiated on Pentecost in 32 AD, roughly, then it stands to compute that there is now over 1986 years that have gone by with about 14 years to contest. Regardless, the ‘Time’ approaches for Daniel’s last Prophetic Week of 7 Years to conclude also before the Millennial Kingdom comes.
The Measurement-to-Time Hypothesis
The height of the Great Pyramid also suggests some time sequence of years in direct correlation to feet or meters. There was the research of the late David Flynn that first suggested such a Measurement-to-Year Hypothesis. The work of David Flynn stipulated that the height of the Great Pyramid, 5776 inches, correlated to a significant year, that being the Jewish Year of 5776. Now if anything ‘prophetic’ occurred, probably as it did correlate to the Year of Light or the ‘Year of Lucifer’ to the Luciferian Masons, etc. Some suggested that perhaps that was to have been the year that the Church Age would have been completed as the Great Pyramid was likened to the Church Body.
Inches Feet Year
5772 480
——————————————————-
5773 = 481.0833 2012-13
5774 = 481.1667 2013-14
5775 = 481.25 2014-15
5776 = 481.3333 2015-16
5777 = 481.4167 2016-17
5778 = 481.5 2017-18
5779 = 481.5833 2018-19
5780 = 481.666 2019-20
5781 = 481.75 2020-21
5782 = 481.8333 2021-22
5783 = 481.9167 2022-23
——————————————————-
5784 = 482
However, the height of the Great Pyramid gets very detailed in that the very tolerance of the measurement still has a story to tell. For example, the specific height of the Great Pyramid of 5776 inches was based on the numerical factor of the height being 481.4167 feet. It was not or is not taking into account that the whole numerical factor of 481 alone has about 10 decimal fractions that still converts to years within the 481-inch coefficient. Thus, for example, the range from 481.0 to 481.9167 has the range from 5773 to 5778 inches or thus could be the same sequence of years still yet to consider if one imposes such an inch-to-year theory for when the possible Church Age ‘building’ is to be completed.
The point is that, if the theory of the height of the Great Pyramid is an encoded factor of when such a ‘Spiritual Temple’ is to be complete, it is not finished just yet. However, it is very close in terms of years now as 5783 would be the outer limit for such a completion of the 481 inches. This time segment from 5776 to 5783 would also correspond to a 7-year span of time, to 2022-23 or 1 ‘Prophetic Week’. Would or could such a 7-year allotment be some sort of ‘countdown’? Could this be when the Tribulation Period would or could start? This conjecture remains to be seen. Also, have in mind that the height of the Great Pyramid is highly disputed to this day. There are varying degrees of measurements ranging from 455 feet to 482 feet. This depends if one is factoring in the Capstone that is missing or the erosion that has reduced the height.
Dispensational Template of Time
Many who have studied this Great Pyramid have discovered amazing mathematical measurements that suggest or correspond to Time sequences, both pertaining to the earthly realm and of the celestial kind. With that in mind, the main hypothesis of this study, as noted is that perhaps the perimeter of the Great Pyramid, that being 3024 feet (746 feet x 4 sides of bases) could correspond to the year 3024. If one subtracts 999 years, excluding the end year from that, being suggestive of the Millennial Reign, the resulting year would be 2025. In turn, what would be significant about 2025? Well, if one subtracts a Sabbatical Year Cycle of 7 years, then the result would be 2018. However, if the Tribulation Period started in 2022, it would make 2025 then the midpoint. As one can see, there are many variables and numbers to consider.
Height Inches Height Feet
3022 480 280 Egyptian Sacred Cubits
3024 480.9 432-year sections of 7 years each (432Hz frequency)
3025 481 230 Sacred Cubits
3028 482.283
2 x 3.14 pi x 146.914 = 920.4 meters
2 x 3.14 pi x 482 feet = 3026 feet
3026 feet – 1000 years = 2026 – 7 years = 2019
What is rather amazing about some of the properties of 3024 itself is that if one take the entire length in terms of time, it is divisible by 7 sections of 432 year sections. To some, this 432 coefficient would ‘ring-out’ some amazing association with the vibration of the Universe in all living things. Many people who have studied the 432Hz frequency believe it has relation to life itself. For example, it has been researched that the 432 Hz is the frequency in which DNA replicates. This frequency also harmonizes with the natural frequency of light for which the Great Pyramid has also encoded in its stones, etc. This study is not suggesting that these specific time segments are aligning-up to when the Tribulation Period of 7 years will start and when the 1000-year Millennial Kingdom is also to begin. Perhaps these numerical coefficients are a pattern of sorts or template of possible time markers that appear to highlight 2025 and 2018. It would be a sort of ‘resentence of prophecy’.
The primary eschatological verifiable that is prophetic for 2018 is that based on Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, the U.S. Embassy moves to Jerusalem just days prior to the 70th year anniversary of Israel’s modern birth. This is the second most prominent significance of 2018 concerning YHVH’s time piece, Israel. The 3rd factor would be a celestial one in that the bookend of the Blood Moon of July 27, 2018 occurs. It is part of a Triad that occurs on Tu B-Av, the Valentine’s Day equivalent in Israel. What is significant about this Blood Moon is that it is the centerpiece. Specifically, this center Blood Moon is very special in that it is called a ‘Central Bull’s Eye’ eclipse. This is when the shadow of the Moon cast on the Earth is nearly dead center in terms of its path across the Earth. It is also seen over Jerusalem, which may have something to do with prophetically in terms of the 3024 timeline. This same type of Blood Moon also occurs nearly 7 years apart from the July 2011 eclipse that appeared over Jerusalem.
7-Day Dispensational Template
The special Bull’s Eye Blood Moon of July 17, 2018 occurs in the constellation of Capricorn. This special Bull’s Eye Blood Moon is also in-between the 2 bookend Blood Moons that both occur on the ‘New Years of Trees’ called Tu B’Shevat. These 2 Blood Moon ‘New Years of Trees’ eclipses both occur in the constellation of Cancer. Thus, based on certain celestial patterns, this study bases the 3024 coefficient with the dispensational interpretation of the beginning of Time since the re-Creation that occurred with Adam and Eve. The entire 3024 timeline since Jesus Christ figures as part of a mirrored effect that appears to conclude the entire Creation Week pattern of ‘Time’ since Adam, if the Great Pyramid 3024 correlation is valid and/or plausible.
The entire timeline since Adam and Eve has 7 segments of ‘Prophetic Time’ or ‘Days’ that echo prophetically in terms of how much ‘Time’ is left as a peculiar dimension and dispensation. These segments of Time specifically pertain to the 7000-year sequence of ‘Time’ allotted to Humanity as some would argue. Each of the 7 segments of ‘Time’ or Ages are equal to 1000 years, etc. If the 7000-year template is valid and true, then the Time and Space continuum started with Adam and Eve. There were then 4 segments of Time for a total of 4000 years that occurred until the 1st advent of Jesus occurred. These 4 segments of time thus would correspond to the first 4 ‘Days’, prophetically. The subsequent 2 ‘Days’ or 2000 years would correspond to the present Church Age. This very special and unique dispensation of the Church Age began with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in Believers and Followers of Jesus Christ.
The end of the 2-Day ‘prophetic’ Church Age is to be concluded when the last Gentile is ‘saved’. Such a Spiritual Building or ‘Body’ will at that time be completed. It will then be a ‘harvest’ of the souls taken from such a ‘Time’ that is concluded by the Rapture event. What initiates the final ‘Day’ or the 1000 years called the Millennial Reign of Christ will be the occasion of Jesus’ return to Earth. This will occur at the conclusion of Daniel’s 70th Week of Years that it too has a Sabbatical Year template. What is also very interesting about this 7000 year or 7-Day prophetic timeline is that one can apply and superimpose the phi ratio spiral onto the timeline since Adam and Eve for a more visual correlation to include the 3024 year span since Christ based on the Great Pyramid perimeter pattern. Some unique time markers appear to correspond to significant Biblical events in this case.
Starting from Adam and Eve, the main points of intersection on the timeline would correspond then to the Flood of Noah, then the Tower of Babel, and the call of Abraham. Although this theory of 7000 years would seem plausible, there is the question of exact timing of days and what constituted a ‘day’ especially before the Flood of Noah for example Other researchers suggest, for example that the Earth before the Flood of Noah was much smaller and the days where thus 364 days/year. This would be referred to as the Enochian Year and so forth. This would affect the timeline in that the actual time would be shorted compared to the 365 days/year, etc. However, it is thought that the days after the Flood of Noah were recalibrated in some fashion. The issue with the Great Pyramid 3024 inches-to-year possible correspondence would thus then be based on the solar cycle of 365 days/year, etc.
After the 1000 year Millennial Reign, ‘Time’ will cease to exist as a dimension and ‘all things are to be made new’ for all Eternity thereafter, etc. The timeline provided will only suggest that the time segment specific to the Great Pyramid is highly conjecture. Such a mathematical inference to ‘Prophetic Time’ does have some weight in that the Great Pyramid is an enigma that has encoded into its stones some amazing revelation as it pertains to ‘Time’. For example, some measurement encoded in the Great Pyramid structure reveals the speed of light, the circumference of the Earth and that of the Moon also, etc. On an aside note, such sacred mathematics or Gematria of the Great Pyramid could not and does compute within a ‘Flat Earth’ model.
If the Millennial Kingdom were a literal 1000-day timespan of 365 days/year, then the total duration of this dispensation would be exactly 365,000 days. This study is not insinuating that this precise Great Pyramid 3024 base numerical coefficient is when the literal Millennial Reign of Christ timeline will be corresponding. However, it would appear that it is a very interesting supposition to consider in light of the great mysteries that the Great Pyramid continues to tell. As it pertains to the 1000 year Millennial Reign of Christ, it has to be preceded by the Tribulation Period, etc.
There are many factors that still need to occur before such a time and although it seems that prophetic events are accelerating at a faster pace, there is yet several possible years required perhaps before such a timeline could reflect all that the Bible foretells will have to occur at some point in time. If anything could be extrapolated from the timeframe, it would show just how close prophetically the Church Age is about to conclude as time converges to start the 7th ‘Day’ or the 7000th year Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ.

Dec 5, 2014 Before the Day of the Lord by Gary Stearman, comments by Nando
As the New Year is starting with the fast pace of life we are entering the few months before the seven year Apocalypse. What does this statement mean, and why is it important. Another valid question for the prophecy buff is how can we know that we are in the final months before the Day of the Lord or Apocalypse.
If any of the facts that we are going to mention are relevant we must know that these are the times prophetically. To be sure about it can mean whether you will be caught by surprise by it much in the same way that those who lived in the Pacific Indonesia were surprised when the earthquake of magnitude 9+ struck in 2004 and it generated a Tsunami wave that killed more than 200,000 people.
The earthquake was unpredictable as to the time but predictable in that the area it happened was seismically active. The same can be said of a major hurricane like the one that struck the Philippines in 2013. They had a little more warning, but because they lacked the preparations that needed to be in place to survive they were devastated when these calamities came.
Prudent people living in those areas of the world prepare their infrastructure to deal with these forces of nature and build strong structures to withstand them. The same principles and logic can be applied to avert the coming disasters that will come in the Apocalypse. If you read the book of Revelation from chapter 6 to the end you will see that disasters like the ones at the beginning of this post are to be magnified by the thousands and throw in nuclear wars, demons and the most evil of humans in the pot and stir well to understand what is coming and how important it is to know if we are close.
As a structural engineer living and practicing in Miami, Florida I had been designing bridges and buildings to withstand strong winds of hurricane force and the building code at that time required structures to withstand 120 MPH. I had just finished designing and constructing the house I live in now. One year after in 1992 hurricane Andrew was forming in the Atlantic and about two days prior to its hitting Miami I started preparing my house and my family for the onslaught that I knew was coming.
My final preparations were done with many of my family who came to my house to shelter for the storm. The last preparation that was needed was to seek the protection of Jesus in prayer. I opened my Bible and it opened in Psalm 104:
Psalm 104
1Praise the Lord, my soul.
Lord my God, you are very great;
you are clothed with splendor and majesty.
2The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment;
he stretches out the heavens like a tent
3and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.
He makes the clouds his chariot
and rides on the wings of the wind.
4He makes winds his messengers,a
flames of fire his servants.
Andrew hit in Homestead with winds in excess of 165 MPH a category 5 that I estimated personally to have reached close to 200 MPH at certain parts. My house was under attack that night the wind that we felt was frightening making a sound to terrify the most brave. I was in peace Jesus had told me He was ridding the clouds and I did not fear for me or my family. I had acted judiciously my house was not build in sand the walls were concrete block and reinforced with concrete beams and columns. The windows and doors were securely anchored to the walls as well as the roof. But most of all my strength was anchored in Jesus and He was protecting my house.
Next day when the storm left I witnessed the devastation around the whole area and it was beyond description. My house had been spared completely with only some roof ridge barrel tiles missing that we replaced about a year after.
Well back to the original story again, are we close to the Apocalypse and what are the things that tells us we are? I will answer with some facts and an analogy.
If we are driving in a road and we approach a major bridge we do not stop and think is it safe to pass? No this never enters your mind because you can see that it is standing and in your mind you know and trust that those who designed and built it had the knowledge and experience required for the task. The same when you buy a house or a building. It never enters your mind to question its reality and function.
Well as I have been designing and working in structures since I got my degree from the University I can safely assume that the buildings and bridges that I did will work as intended which they have.
If you have not read the Bible or studied the prophecies of the Bible it is very difficult if not impossible for you to discern the times we are in except in a very general sense as every person is born with a sense for the dangerous.
If you are not totally disconnected to the things that are happening every day your senses should be warning you of the many things that are warning you of coming danger.
Now to the gist of Bible prophecy. We are in the months preceding the start of the Day of the Lord because Israel is a Nation that came to be in May 14, 1948, there has passed close to 6,000 years since the creation of Adam and Eve by God and a thousand other prophetic scriptures that are coming to pass in these times.
Again as I or somebody that has spent more than 36 years studying Bible prophecy sees the things happening in the world our eyes are colored with the knowledge of prophetic writings, thus we have what is called prophetic knowledge and experience. We tie things and events together to reach conclusions that are pertinent and valid.
The article by Mr. Gary Stearman points out a very significant fact about the Day of the Lord and the characters that play its most important role in it. They do not come to these positions or places from one day to the other. They evolve and their rise to power is done with time on fertile ground for growth.
Now the questions are if we are at the very few months prior to the Apocalypse who will you say is the Antichrist, what nation is he in power with? Who is the false prophet and what religion is he from and what is his position in this religion?

Before the Day of the Lord
Scripture spends a considerable amount of time describing the events that will unfold immediately prior to the Day of the Lord – perhaps three to four years before the Tribulation. Is it possible that we are living in this period now? If not, how distant might it be? And what conditions may prevail during this volatile phase?
Two or three decades ago, those students of Bible prophecy dedicated to the pretribulational prophetic model were quite reluctant to say that we could identify present events as fulfilled prophecy. They readily agreed that we were near the end of the Church Age, but were reluctant to admit that we could identify unfolding events as connected with any particular time.
They were willing to concede that the prophetic stage had been set: Israel was back in the Land; global financial power was being concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs; social restraints were collapsing; superweapons were falling into the hands of power-crazed rebels, dedicated to the annihilation of Israel and the United States. But they wouldn’t say that prophecy, in plain terms, was being presently fulfilled.
Today, that has all changed. While some are still reluctant, many leading prophecy teachers are quick to say that Bible prophecy is unfolding before our eyes. Israel, the Middle East and the global economy are shaping up in precisely the way the ancient prophets and apostles said they would. Naturally, our tendency is to urge things along so that the promised return of the Lord will come sooner. But watching requires restraint and self-discipline.
In this era of increasing discussion (and not a little argument) about the timing of the rapture, we are faced with the challenge of placing certain events in some sort of chronological order. Some apparently think that events will fall into place virtually overnight.
In Christian dialogue, there is a tendency to overlook the logistics that are naturally involved in the orderly development of events. Time is required for socioeconomic, military and political realities to come to fulfillment.
As we look ahead, we can see a number of prophesied events that haven’t come together yet. For example, the prophesied Mideast wars haven’t happened yet. Damascus still stands. Earthquakes rumble here and there, but they haven’t yet become a worldwide phenomenon that catches the attention of the nations. The prophesied famine and pestilence are far from universal.
On the other hand, things are happening fast! We watch the world of genetics and the horrifying advances in human/animal hybridization. We observe increasing demonic visibility in the form of the modern “UFO/alien” mythology, coupled with a growing social consciousness that the fallen ones who once plagued the Earth are making themselves observable once again. Technology can now interconnect microchips with the human brain. Artificial intelligence is coming online. “Supersoldiers,” if not already in service, are perhaps within a year or two of being utilized in field exercises. Robotics are quickly approaching the level of human facility. Universal surveillance and global control of society are now conceivable realities. The Antichrist system is becoming visible as security agencies around the world multiply exponentially.
But even given the current state of affairs, there seems to be some time left before all these events coalesce into the massive formation of a world empire. The “beast” cannot rise to power in an instant.
Events require a certain passage of time. Take, for example, the rise to power of a political figure. After he is selected, he must raise money, either as cash or promised contributions. Agreements must be reached and contracts signed. All these activities must fit into a predictable flow of events. Notices go out, phone calls are made, rallies and speeches are scheduled. More money is raised as television, newspaper and radio time is purchased. More time passes until election day, which comes and goes. The candidate has won. Finally, as he is sworn in, he settles into the daily business of political office. Two or three years have passed.
The same general process is incumbent upon the rising to power of a dictatorship. He must gain initial recognition – perhaps as an elected figure – and then take power by any means possible. In the process, he must convince the general population that he is worthy of their trust. Finally, in a sweeping revolution, he exerts his will.
One day in the not-too-distant future, a rider on a white horse will go forth in a similar way. His efforts will be directed toward establishing a dictatorship, and they will require a certain amount of time. The following well-known verses seem to depict just such a process, as the office of this candidate is focused upon gathering power through conquest:
“1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer” (Rev. 6:1,2).
This narrative is generally said to depict the rise of the Antichrist, a process that will naturally consume a fairly long period of time and a significant transfer of power (“conquering, and to conquer”). The prophet Daniel once had a vision of this time- consuming process:
“7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. 8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things” (Dan. 7:7,8).
The “coming up” of the little horn seems to require some time for achievement, and the overthrow of three others. Again, time is required … the time before the Tribulation. And his power is supernatural.
A Supernatural Overview
There is general agreement among Christians that we are either very close or actually within the brief time leading to the seven-year Tribulation … The Day of the Lord. Many expositors are in agreement that the single event that marks the beginning of this period of judgment is the signing of a covenant, mentioned in Daniel 9:27:
“27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.”
The Antichrist will, through “strong delusion,” as Paul terms it in Second Thessalonians 2:11, rise to power in a cloud of metaphysical strength that will seem authentic to those who watch him. He will operate counter to the message of Christ, and substitute himself in place of Christ.
But before he can do this, the delusion must be developed in the minds of those who will blindly submit to his rule.
Pay particular notice to the word, “delusion.” It tells us that those who believe in the Antichrist will wrongly interpret what they see in him. They will think it comes from God. Daniel 9:27 speaks of “abominations,” which we envision as dark conjuring and occultism, empowered by the emissaries of Satan. But those who view him as messianic will see his powers as blessings.
Many have written about the esoteric societies of initiates who brought Hitler to power. Their exotic names … “Society of the Golden Dawn,” and “Thule Society,” masked truly evil, Satanic movements that appealed to ancient avatars for their power.
These spiritual manifestations will be the power behind Antichrist’s throne. For a long time, Bible scholars have linked occurrences of dark powers to latter-day prophecy. One of the best-known is the late Dave Hunt. Thirty years ago, in his book, Peace, Prosperity and the Coming Holocaust, he examined the New Age Movement in prophecy.
He wrote, “With impeccable scientific credentials and one of the world’s top ufologists, Jacques Vallee has concluded after 20 years of investigation that UFOs may be psychologically programming us for some ultimate deception that is too horrible even to imagine as yet.” [p. 112]
He wrote these words in 1983, before the UFO phenomenon had emerged to the point that is now common. In his book, he made it obvious that he believed the Antichrist would rise in a wave of demonic demonstration that the world would interpret as alien powers from outer space. He was an early leader in the realization that the ancient fallen ones were rising again, and would prepare a global vision – almost a hallucination – of heaven on Earth. This is without a doubt, the ultimate delusion, and it’s happening now.
In Daniel 11:38, 39, which gives details of the Antichrist’s rule, we find exactly this idea expressed with absolute clarity:
“38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. 39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain” (Dan. 11:38,39).
For more than a century, Satanic initiates have conjoined their plans in the anticipation that a god of forces will bring a world leader to power. Just as Dave Hunt believed three decades ago, we are convinced that we are living in the latter stages of Antichrist’s unveiling. The ufonauts are not extraterrestrial beings; they are interdimensional beings … exactly as they are described in the Bible. We have almost arrived at what he called a “… deception that is too horrible even to imagine as yet.”
From the Roswell incident in 1947 to the present day, we have accrued sixty-six years of the progressive unveiling of dark heavenly forces, as described by Paul in Ephesians 6:12 when he wrote of them: “12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
As this is written, it has become “normal” to record two thousand UFO sightings per month in the United States alone! Paul is describing the nature of the enemy that has resisted the body of Christ throughout the Church age. Paul also characterizes the church as the restraining force that inhibits the rise of Satanic world power until the close of the age at the rapture. At that time, the restraining force of the Holy Spirit will be removed from the Earth. Then, the dark forces will be free to elevate the Antichrist to power.
It is safe to say then, that we are now living within a very short time of seeing a rapid succession of supernatural events. This, of course, suggests that the rapture is near. In no way can we predict the date of the rapture, but bizarre events, coupled with social and environmental instabilities will indicate that our watchfulness should rise to its maximum level.
What will the period before the Tribulation look like? Among other things, it will acquire increasingly powerful overtones of the supernatural … the bizarre and the highly technical will merge into the arrival of deceptive marvels. They will bring forth the Antichrist:
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders” (II Thess. 2:9).
Zephaniah’s Warning
The prophet Zephaniah wrote to a latter- day audience about the Day of the Lord. He warns Israel that the day is “near.” In other words, his prophecy is aimed at precisely the period we are targeting: possibly the three or four years prior to the Day of the Lord.
He addresses latter-day Israel, which of course, assumes that Israel must be in a regathered state of existence, exactly as we see it today. His warning focuses upon the pretribulational period of time under discussion:
“14 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. 15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness” (Zeph. 1:14,15).
Here, Zephaniah joins other Old Testament prophets who issue similar warnings to those in Israel who have eyes to see and ears to hear. He warns them to get ready for the coming Tribulation:
“1 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; 2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD’s anger come upon you. 3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger” (Zeph. 2:1-3).
The New Testament View
Remarkably, the Apostle Paul, writing in First Thessalonians, echoes Zephaniah’s words. He begins with a strange statement that seems out of place or even inappropriate. But once understood, it is one of the most encouraging verses in the Bible:
“1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness” (I Thess. 5:1-5).
Paul opens with a statement about the very time period now being discussed … the last few years before the Tribulation. He says that he doesn’t need to tell us about the approach to that period. Why? No doubt, Paul believes that the Old Testament prophets and the statements of Jesus give us all the information we need. And indeed, they do!
We know that the Day of the Lord will come under the cover of a grand delusion. We are now conscious of that great deception … that the Antichrist will rise to power with the help of alien gods.
Paul then notes that there will be the mistaken idea that all is well … right up until the opening moments of the Tribulation. Paul’s clear assertion is that those in Christ will not be blind to the approach of that horrific day. He urges us to watch and comfort one another with the thought that we’ll be taken home before its opening.
In fact, his clear belief is that the presence of the indwelling Holy Spirit acts to hold back the dark forces of Satan until the very moment of its lifting up from this dimension into the presence of the Lord.
Today, some criticize the preoccupation with the narrative of the ancient Nephilim who came in the days of Noah, and will return at the time of the Tribulation. The plain fact is that it happened then, and it’s happening again.
How Can We Tell?
In many different ways, Scripture tells us that we are enlightened by the indwelling Holy Spirit, and that we will not be ignorant of the times. Specifically, we will be sensitized to the near approach of the Tribulation. For the past forty to fifty years, many Christian pastors, teachers and writers have stated that the Lord’s return for His church is near.
They have watched the burgeoning growth of alien spiritual power and presence. They have noted the socio-economic instabilities and the myriad complexities of the Middle East. Earthquakes and super-storms are happening with greater frequency.
And as Mark Biltz has pointed out, we’re within a few months of witnessing the confluence of a fourfold series of lunar eclipses on Jewish feast days. Furthermore, they appear before and after a total Solar eclipse. Since the eclipsed Moon takes on a reddish hue when eclipsed, they are called “Blood Moons.” Such astronomical rarities have always been an indicator of some significant event in the history of Israel.
The prophet Joel writes that this is the phenomenon that will warn of the proximity of the Tribulation:
“31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call” (Joel 2:31,32).
All the visual elements are in place. The dark principalities of the heavens are become more visible. Paul said it first: He said we don’t have a need for him to write to us when these things are coming. Now we know why. We have a special spiritual sensitivity that floods our consciousness. We’ll know that we’re there. The increasing coalescence of sinister power was prophesied long ago. With increasing intensity, this is what the next few years will look like. We will know the times and season

Communication with God
This letter will follow a different path than the first four. First I will explain in plain terms to those of you readers which do not know about or have heard of the events that are mentioned or linked here. The letters are a warning and they are about love, hope, knowledge, communication and for sure about the future. They are not about the writer, his ego, delusions, imaginings or self aggrandizement.
They are first of all a message from your Creator as the writer sees it. They are facts which have been witnessed by several of my family and many people apart from them.
First let us talk about their meaning. They imply to me that God who has been relatively silent in the affairs of men is about to shock the world into knowing and acknowledging Him for whom He is or forever perish by denying Him.
Jesus Christ is about to take all of His church from the earth so that their presence will no longer deter evil or all the manifestations of it. He will protect His people by taking them to the clouds. Before He takes the living He would have resurrected the dead in Christ into eternal live and will be in the clouds waiting for the rest of us.
After this event takes place a period of time called the tribulation which is 7 years of duration will accost the earth with a vengeance.
In this time an evil man will be indwelled by a fallen spirit called Satan and will control the world and every one in it. During this time those who come to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and savior will save their souls but loose their lives temporarily. At the end of these seven years Jesus returns to earth to vanquish His enemies and start a kingdom of a thousand years. All these events are listed in the bible and if you the reader do not have one get it fast and start reading.
In the first letters I have mentioned how Jesus has communicated with me thru numbers and events thru the years and I am sure that many of you readers have had a prayer answered or an event happening that shows you that He listens and responds to seeking hearts. He responds with love, care, compassion and many other ways. For those who have never heard of Him He is willing to have
an intimate relationship with you as a father to a son or daughter.
Long ago the two first humans created had a daily conversation with the Creator of the entire Universe. After them He has spoken directly to other humans like Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Samuel, David, the prophets and many others in the Old Testament. Then He came to earth as Jesus Christ and He walked with men until His death. Afterwards by His own power He resurrected and appeared too many disciples, the last one being John which wrote the Book of Revelation. Most of the people He talked too were not expecting His Word and were surprised and astonished when it happened. I too am very surprised that what has happened to me and now happens to members of my family is a very effective way of communication with our God and Creator.
Now for the facts that occurred yesterday. At six in the afternoon I left my house to go to Office Depot. The first moving car that I see was about three blocks from home and his license plate at the front end of the car was MS777. At the store when I was leaving a car had the plates GXB8699, and on my return in a neighbors house two houses away there are two SUV , the first has a license 968 KTN the second X66 3EK. The probabilities for the 777 to be the first car I see are 1/1000 and this message from Jesus sets the tone for the trip. Alert message is coming. The G is God, the 8 is the day the 6 is the month the 99 is the end. The 968 KTN have the same #’s but the last one has 66 which is the last book of the Bible the book of Revelation.
Last night we saw a very good movie called Starting Out in the Evening. This movie is about a writer at the end of his live that hasn’t finished a novel he started 10 years ago and at the urgings of a female college student he sits to finish. The analogy is not lost and it is 6.30 AM and these words are flowing into my keyboard with great urgency because the time is at hand.
I hope to increase your faith by the testimony I have been giving and in the hope of doing this even more I am taking you on a journey to the beginning of it all. It was the month of October on a Sunday afternoon of the year 1977 days after daylight saving time for the fall. The sun was setting at 6 PM and I sat in my living room to read a book I had bought a year before. This book La Biblia de Jerusalem in Spanish was my first one bought. The afternoon was beautiful and I decided to open the front door of my apartment which was in the ground floor and the parking lot was five feet away. I sat down to read the Bible and pray and the sun started to appear full size at the door and irradiating the living room with light. At that moment a white dove came flying into the apartment and landed at the mat of the door, no more than seven feet away. This was the moment that transformed my life. The dove stood there not moving and I not moving looking at each other like two gunslingers in a western movie, not knowing who was going to flinch first. God why have you done this to me and what am I to do. I know that the Holy Spirit has been represented by a white dove and whether it was Him or a manifestation of Him a clear message was being sent. The dove stood there for the better part of three long minutes and not holding the anxiety any longer I stood to go to the kitchen to get a piece of bread to give the dove. A few seconds latter I looked back to the door and it was gone. Went out and did not see it fly away.
I sat down and meditated about what had just happened. I knew that I had been given a very important gift of faith and that the Lord wanted to emphasize the importance of prayer and reading the Word in the Bible. I made a commitment to do this for the rest of my life and so I have done.
If you think this story is ending that there is no more to come and that this is the climax of the events that is not so.
We keep going back a few years to 1974 and 75. At that time I used to paint in oil and The Lord was already working in my mind to prepare me for the events that were to follow.
The painting whose photo you see here was done in 1974 and if you look closely you will see a man reading a book in front of a sofa and there is a bird in the opened window with his face on it. There is also a fish in the tank that also has his face. And a painting of a woman which I used a picture of an actress as if this was the woman in his life. I called the painting awareness. The man becomes aware of two different realities by projecting himself into these two animals. The first is a prisoner with a monotonous existence the other is free to roam with all the implications of excitement and danger that freedom gives.
Well I was reading that book sitting on that sofa and with the door opened when the dove came in three years later. The next picture shows the sun behind the cross illuminating humanity, and with those that reject Him shown as a soldier and those who do shown as a kneeling woman.
Part 4: The Coming of Jesus Christ at the Rapture.
Last night at 9 PM I went to Blockbuster to rent movies. On the way there I saw two cars one had the license plate X99 KAV. At the store which is less than a mile away I parked went in and got the movies. In the parking lot one car away there was another car with the plate W99 YHG notice that YHWH is the Hebrew name of God and that these letters were in the tag. There were about 8 or 9 plates in the lot altogether. On the way back home I must have seen 5 cars, one had the plate 577 GTT.
As I write this letter my daughter comes in and tells me she saw more than three cars with the number 77 in them last night.
To explain a little about probability in statistics let us take only one car alone.
There are 24 letters in our alphabet, and seeing any one letter has a probability of one in 24. The numbers have a one in ten. So for our first tag the probability of seeing the 99 is 1/100. The second tag is much more complicated because the letters get into play.
Here is an approximate estimate (I am an engineer but not a statistitian, although I took a masters course in Statistical Analysis for business majors).
W (1/24)
9 (1/10)
9 (1/10)
Y (1/24)
H (1/24)
G (1/24)
So the probabilities of these letters occurring by chance is [1/ (24x10x10x24x24x24)] or 1/33177600. The order of the letters also has a probability factor, so my numbers in this tag may be off and maybe a mathematics university professor of statistics can give it a more accurate number. The last tag also has a probability factor of 1/100.
Another factor to consider is the number of cars that were seen or if the cars were in a cluster, and how close together and in the order of seeing them.
So now let us try with the 3 plates above.
Total # of cars seen = 2 + 9 + 5 = 16
Probability that this happened by chance and not as I think that Jesus Christ is sending me these messages is as follows:
16 / [(100) x (33177600) x (100) = 16 / 33177600000 = 1/ 207,360,000
This number is approximate of course.
With this elemental knowledge go back to letter 1 and try to imagine the probabilities of the events I listed there occurring by chance and not by design of an all powerful awesome God.
This morning I opened my Bible at random and it opened at the end of chapter 4 of first Thessalonians.
The coming of the Lord (verse 13-end of chapter) which is the rapture, is in the paragraph.
Again I must refer you to the first two sites of letter one about the lunar and solar eclipses and the importance of #9.
As a final thought I have been having this type of communication with the Lord Jesus Christ for a very long time, more than twenty three years, and this is not new to me. I did not start this type of communication and I am still amassed after all these years how good it is.
PS.
I am always reminded of the passage in Exodus 28-30 which reads as follows in the NIV.
30. Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece, so they may be overAaron’s heart whenever he enters the presence of the Lord. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the Lord.
In likewise manner I have used the # 77 and other numbers and letters in our two way communication during the years.
Part 3: The Coming of Jesus Christ at the rapture.
REGARDING THE FEAST OF PENTECOST THIS IS THE DATE GIVEN IN THE FOLLOWING WEB SITE.

Pesach – Sat, 19 April 2008 at sundown
- Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Also called Chag HaMatzot (the Festival of Matzah), it commemorates the Exodus and freedom of the Israelites from ancient Egypt
Shavuot – Sun, 08 June 2008 at sundown
- Feast of Pentecost
THE FOLLOWING IS A GOOD TREATMENT OF PENTECOST AND THE RAPTURE:

THE FOLLOWING IS A LETTER BY F.M. RILEY WHICH EXPLAINS THE THREE DAYS OF DARKNESS
Part 2: The Coming of Jesus Christ at the rapture.
Regarding the feast of first fruits and Pentecost there are two things I want to point out.
First, Jesus died on Passover fulfilling this holy day. He was buried for three days fulfilling the unleavened bread holyday (leaven = sin) or unlevened = sinless body.
He was resurrected on Sunday on the third day which is also the day after the weekly Sabath (Saturday) fulfilling the feast of firstfruits.
Pentecost is on the fiftieth day after passover (pente=50).
From Mr. Zola Levitt (deceased) teachings (levitt.com) about the feast of Israel I learned that at Passover a masda bread is broken and placed on a cloth bag and placed under the table for three days.
At the third day it is taken out and eaten to celebrate the feast of first fruits
This is a perfect type of the death (broken masda) burial (under the table) and resurrection (taken out at first fruits to eat).
To know when Pentecost is coming we count from Passover.

March 29, 2020 Passover on April 8 and Rapture after 6 PM on April 11 ?
Pastor FM Riley writes a very good compelling article over the importance of Passover and the Resurrection and Rapture of the church on Passover and Easter of this year.
It is important to notice that this year is considered a Perfect order year as the Passover and Easter fall on the same days as in the time of Christ’s crucifixion.
Will the seven year Tribulation start on Passover to fulfill the 70th week of years of Daniel 9 starting again on Passover where it stopped in 30 AD?. Will the church see the two witnesses and the confirming of the covenant as well as the two witnesses?
Are you ready for these events?

“THE PASSOVER!”
THE PASSOVER!
By Pastor F. M. Riley
March 26, 2020
“Ane the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you,
Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a house,” Exodus 12:1-3.
“And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening,
And they shall take of the blood and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses wherein they shall eat it.” Exodus 12:6-7.
“And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever,” Exodus 12:13-14.

Introduction
The Jewish Holy Day of PASSOVER is the most important Holy day of all the Jewish holy days in the year on the Jewish calendar. This study is written to show our readers why I make this statement, especially in view of the approaching season of PASSOVER…….
THE HOLY DAY OF PASSOVER
The Jewish Holy Days were assigned to Israel by the Lord God Himself as recorded in Leviticus 23. The Torah observant Jewish people still observe these Holy days after all these centuries of human history.
I am aware that the Torah observant Jews today consider Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, to be their most important Holy day, and one day in the future it will be. Buy right now it is not! The Jews as a people and nation have not yet been redeemed. Therefore they are “jumping the gun” when they regard Yom Kippur as their most Holy Day.
There are at least three reasons set forth in the Scriptures why PASSOVER is the most important Holy Day of the year on the Jewish calendar, not only to the Jewish people, but also to all of mankind living today. STUDY what follows carefully…….
PASSOVER WAS THE BIRTH OF THE JEWISH NATION
Prior to that first Passover, there was no Jewish nation. Jacob and his offspring; 70 souls, had come down into Egypt seeking refuge from the famine that was ravaging the land of Canaan. 430 years later, those 70 souls had multiplied into an estimated million or more people. But they were not a nation. Rather, they were slaves to the Egyptians. Their Egyptian taskmasters were cruel to them, and they began crying out to the God of Jacob for help. God’s ears are always open to the cries and prayers of “the righteous,” Psalm 34:15. Since all of those Jews were descendants of godly Jacob, there is no doubt that there were some
2
“righteous” souls among them, and God was listening.
In order to answer their pleas for deliverance, but also to make of them a nation of people, the Lord God then set in place a new calendar year for the Jewish people, as recorded in Exodus 12. The first appointed “holy day” on this new calendar was the Festival of PASSOVER. Readers should carefully study the entire 12th chapter of Exodus.
In order to save time and space in writing this study, the major details of the Passover are set forth as follows…..
The first month of the new year was Abib. The name of this month was changed to Nisan during the Babylonian captivity which came centuries later. So…..
<<<<<<< O >>>>>>
12:7.
3
Bread: and with bitter herbs,” Exodus 12:8.
<<<<<<< O >>>>>>>
The Lord God then told them that during that very night He was going to “pass over” the land of Egypt in the heaven above, and judgment would come upon every Egyptian household, obviously for the wickedness they had committed against God’s chosen Jewish people. Every act of wickedness has it’s own reward, Galatians 6:7. The Egyptians had drowned the babies of the Israelites, and now the firstborn of the Egyptians were to die, Exodus 12:12.
Don’t miss this! The Lord God told the Israelites that when He saw the blood upon the doors of their homes, that He would “pass over” them, and they would not be harmed, Exodus 12:13.
Then the Lord told them that they were to observe the day of the “pass over” forever, throughout their generations, Exodus 12:14. Why? Because during that night the Lord God did indeed pass over the land of Egypt. The firstborn of the Egyptians died, and Israel was set FREE from their bondage.
The Jewish people left Egypt the next morning, the 15th day of Abib, and traveled day and night on the 15th, 16th, and 17th. They finally crossed
4
the Red Sea during the night of the 17th-18th, and on the morning of the 18th they stood on the Eastern bank of the Red Sea, victoriouss amd refoicing as a FREE people, and A WHOLE NEW NATION. .
Now dear readers, how could any “holy day” of the Jews be more important than the Day of Passover? Think about this!
PASSOVER WAS THE DAY CHRIST WAS CRUCIFED
Why is the Jewish PASSOVER the most important Holy Day on the Jewish calendar? Because it was the day the Lord Jesus Christ; “the Lamb of God,” was offered as a sacrifice to God for the sins of the whole world.
Let’s move forward a thousand years or more, from the original Passover, to the first coming of Christ into the world.
The parallel between the killing of the Passover lamb, and the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ at the end of His public ministry, is unmistakable and undeniable by any reader who makes a serious effort to study the two accounts. It is the crucifixion of Christ, in relation to the Passover, which I want now to emphasize to our readers.
Ancient Israel was explicitly told to choose a lamb on the 10th day of Abib, in view of sacrificing it to God.
On the 10th day of Abib in 30 A.D., as the Israelites were selecting their lambs to observe the Passover, the Lord Jesus Christ was making His Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, exactly as prophesied, Zechariah 9:9. Check out the three accounts of the Lord’s Triumphal Entry in Matthew 21:1-15, Mark 11:1-11, and John 12:12-18. That day the Jewish people, with great joy and rejoicing, chose the Lord Jesus Christ as their Messiah, their Savior, and their King, not realizing that they were also selecting their sacrificial “Lamb,” John 1:29.
However, the wicked priests and other “religionists” in Judah, who were leading the Jewish people at that time, were having none of it. Even
5
while the people were rejoicing, the priests were plotting how to ensnare
the Lord, and get rid of Him. Great crowds were beginning to follow the Lord, and the jealous priests just couldn’t stand it.
The next day, Abib 11, the priests put their wicked plan into action. They began to ask the Lord questions, which they were just sure would expose Him as an ignorant teacher. IT DIDN’T WORK! But they kept on trying.
Even as ancient Israel had inspected their chosen lambs for three days, so The Lord Jesus Christ was inspected over the next three days; the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Abib, exactly as the lambs of the Israelites had been inspected centuries before. Christ was confronted by the Scribes and Pharisees, the Sadducees and Herodians, and of course the priests themselves. The Lord answered all of their questions, even making them look like fools for some of the questions they had asked. They could find nothing wrong with the Lord’s answers, His life, or His ministry. So with the help of Judas Iscariot, they finally took Him to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, and accused Him of sedition against Rome. After a careful examination, Pilate clearly stated, “I find no fault in this man.” Christ, “the Lamb of God” was totally without “spot or blemish.”
Nevertheless, Pontius Pilate was just a wicked politician, like many we see today. He didn’t find any fault in Christ, but in order to please the wicked Jewish priests, He turned Christ over to them to be crucified. From that instant, until He died Christ was abused.
<<<<<<< O >>>>>>>
The Lord God had commanded the Jews in ancient Egypt, to choose and sacrifice a lamb on Passover, the 14th day of Abib. That was a simple procedure of cutting the lamb’s throat and it bled to death.
However, the Lord God DID NOT command the Jews in ancient Egypt to place a crown of thorns on the head of their lambs and beat the crown
6
down into the skin and flesh upon the lamb’s head. The Lord God DID NOT command those ancient Jews to spit in the face of the lamb, to beat the lamb with their fists, to whip the back of the lamb until the flesh was cut to ribbons causing the blood flow freely. The Lord God DID NOT command the ancient Israelites to nail the lamb to a cross, and drop it into a hole with a thud. The Lord God DID NOT command the ancient
Israelites to strip the skin off of the lamb, as the garments were stripped off of the Lord, nor to withhold water from the lamb when it thirsted, nor did He tell the people to stand around the lamb jeering and mocking as the lamb suffered and died. The Lord God DID NOT command the Jews in ancient Egypt to do any of those things to the lambs which they had chosen to offer in sacrifice to Him.
Yet all of these terrible things were done to the Lord Jesus, God’s chosen Lamb, on Passover, Abib 14, in 30 A.D. Do some readers then wonder why the inspired Scriptures speak numerous times of God taking “vengeance,” or “revenge” upon those LEFT BEHIND on the earth, during the coming Tribulation? You have your answer!
<<<<<<< O >>>>>>>
Finally, on Passover, the 14th day of Abib, the Lord Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross of Calvary. There He continued to suffer the indignities heaped upon Him by the Jewish people, but also by the Roman soldiers. Jew and Gentile. Remember that Christ was the sacrifice for the sins of the world, Hebrews 2:9. That day of Passover occurred on Wednesday, Abib 14, 30 A.D.
Remember that the Jews begin each new day at sundown on the previous day.
So the body of Christ was placed in the tomb by 6:00 P.M. on Wednesdasy, Abib 14, the beginning of Abib 15. The body of the Lord
7
was then in the grave the night and day of Abib 15, the night and day of Abib 16, and the night and day of Abib 17. Three days and nights, exactly as the Lord Himself had prophesied that He would be in Matthew 12:38-41. The “sign of Jonah” had been literally fulfilled.
Then just at the 17th day of Abib was ending, and the 18th day of Abib was beginning, the Lord Jesus Christ arose from the dead and came forth out of His tomb, very much alive and ready to finish the work His Father in Heaven had given Him to do.
This is why the Day of Passover, the 14th day of Abib, is the most important day of all the Holy Days appointed by God for Israel to observe during the course of their year. It is the day Christ was sacrificed for the sins of all of mankind, both Jew and Gentile.
But these first two reasons why Passover is the most important Holy Day of the year on the Jewish calendar does not complete the picture. There is yet one more reason, which I now set before our readers…….
THE PASSOVER SEASON IS THE APPOINTED TIME
FOR THE RESURRECTION AND RAPTURE
The Lord God, in Leviticus 23 graciously appointed to Israel the Holy Days they were to observe throughout the course of the year appointed to them by God in Exodus 12. Significantly, every great event in the entire Bible has occurred on one or more of those appointed Holy Days.
In Leviticus 23 the Passover is appointed for Abib 14. The very next day, Abib 15, is the feast of Unleavened Bread. Remember how fast the Israelites had to flee from ancient Egypt, with no time to bake fresh
Bread? How Great is our God!
Then in Levititus 23:9-14 Gpd appointed to Israel the Feast of Firstfruits. This Holy Day was appointed to occur on the day after the
8
weekly Sabbath. Folks, that day would be SUNDAY, the same day the Lord Jesus came forth from the tomb in 30 A.D. The inspired Word explicitly refers to the Lord as the “firstfruits” of the resurrection twice in 1 Corinthians 15:20-23. Dear readers, it is grammatically and Scripturally incorrect to label anything as “firstfruits” unless there are more “fruits” to be gathered. This truth is exactly stated in 1 Corinthians 15:23. Just as Christ arose from the dead on “the morrow” following the weekly Jewish Sabbath day, so “they that are Christ’s” are to be raised “at His coming.”
Dear readers, in 30 A.D., following the crucifixion of Christ, the Jewish Sabbath Day occurred on Abib 17, the third day after Passover on Abib 14. Just as the Jewish Sabbath day was ending and the first day of the week was beginning, the Lord Jesus was raised from the dead, and on the morning of Abib 18 He appeared to His disciples. Glory to God!
Leviticus 23: 10-11 on the Feast of Firstfruits, the Jewish priest was to take a “sheaf” [not one, but many] “of the firstfruits of your harvest,” lift it into the air and wave it. Now what could that possibly represent or typify except the resurrection of all true believers in Christ? Glory to God! Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!
Now let’s look at an affirmation of this very truth. In Romans 6:5 we read,
“For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection.”
Dear readers, there are two events in the life of every true believer that exactly fit this description given in Romans 6:5.
One is the baptism of a true believer. Baptism is a public confession of a true believer’s faith in Christ. In Scriptural baptism, a true believer is BURIED beneath the surface of the water, just as the Lord was buried in the tomb. And when they arise out of the water, they are publicly
9
portraying their faith in the risen Christ, and that they too will one day rise again, when our Lord comes for us. Glory to God!
The second event is the actual death and burial of a true believer.
In dying and being buried, every true believer portrays the death and burial of the Lord Jesus. But at the time of the dead believer’s resurrection, they come forth in “the likeness” of the Lord’s resurrection.
This is why every believer will burst forth into singing at the time of the resurrection and rapture. As the dead in Christ come forth from their graves, they will be singing, “O grave, where is your victory?”
But as the living in Christ are “caught up,” they will be singing, “O death, where is thy sting?” for they will have never been “stung” by the angel of death.
Read these truths for yourself in 1 Corinthians 15:54-55.
But don’t fail to notice, that if we believer receive Romans 6:5 as literal truth, then WHEN are we going to be resurrected and raptured?
The Lord Jesus Christ was crucified on Passover, the 14th day of Abib, and then was resurrected just as the 17th day of Abib was ending, and the 18th day of Abib was beginning; “the morrow after the Sabbath;” the Holy Day of Firstfruits. Glory to God!
CONSUMMATION
Dear readers, both the Jewish year of 5780, and the Gentile year of 2020, testify to them being the years of “redemption” for the people of God. “20” is the Bible number signifying “redemption.” Add up the numbers in 5780 and they add up to “20,” which is also the number of the year in which we Gentiles are living. So the numbers in the Jeish calendar and the number in our Gentile calendar gives us three “20’s.” It is not just “coincidence” that “3” is the Bible number signifying the “resurrection or rapture.” Hello!
The Lord Jesus explicitly prophesied that just preceding His coming
10
again, there would be “wars and rumours of wars,” racial disturbances, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes, all over the earth. Now have our readers heard anything about wars in the Middle East, and rumours of more extensive wars? Have we seen any clashes between people of different races and cultures? Are we aware of any famines, either taking place right now, or looming in the future? Do any of our readers like grasshoppers for pets? Do we hear anything about the current “pestilence;” the Coronovirus? Only 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I am about ready to stop even turning the TV on to get any news. Are any earthquakes occurring anywhere in the world? Only every single day! Your city, town, or living area may be next!
The Lord Jesus said that all of these things would be “the beginning of sorrow.” Not the end! The “beginning!” And they are here!
The Lord Jesus also said, “And when these things begin to come pass, then look up, and lift your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh.
Well dear readers, we are here! We have arrived! If you really are a true believer then stop your mocking and ridiculing, and trying to find fault, with those who are obediently and faithfully trying to sound the trumpet of warning, Isaiah 58:1.
Dear readers, Abib is in the Spring of the year. We are living in the Spring of the year as I write. Solomon was inspired of God to explicitly say that there would be a “rising” and a “coming away” in the Spring of the year. This correlates exactly with the resurrection and the rapture.
The first day of Abib this year occurred YESTERDAY on March 26th. This means that PASSOVER, Abib 14, will occur on Wednesday, April 8th. Then three days after Passover this year, the day Christ arose on Abib 17, will occur on Saturday,April 11th. Is it just more “coincidence” that the days of the week for Passover and Firstfruits this year come in the exact same
11
order as they did the week Christ was crucified and arose in 30 A.D.? Our readers better give this some serious thought before they answer. I have, and all the evidence I have considered points to the Lord’s coming to resurrect and rapture His people to glory on Abib 17, which this year is
April 11th.
Dear readers, you have my message. The Lord know that it has been a “labor of love” on my part, for those who will read the message and take heed, for I can barely see my computer screen, and have written every word of this study using a magnifying glass to write.
Now what the reader does with this study is between them and the Lord. I would like to meet every reader in the rapture, or at the table of our Lord in Heaven in just
