3 Days of Darkness?

Every believer who reads this needs to take what I am about to share and seek the Lord for guidance. Recently I have seen a resurgence of what has been called a Catholic prophecy of three days of darkness that is to cover the earth. When I heard about this last year, I disregarded it.

3 Hours of Darkness in Russia

Then on July 20 of this year, a region in Russia experienced three hours of complete darkness. Satan, in his pursuit to be God, tries to counterfeit the power of YHWH and that may be the case here.

A House Divided! ManyFish YT analyzes the 3 hours of darkness in Russia and shares his belief that the elite, who are Luciferians, are behind this oddity.

The Watchers article referred to in this video can be found at: Mystery surrounds Arctic Siberia as day turns to complete darkness for 3 hours, Russia  Here is an excerpt:

Even though they should have 24 hour light at this time of year, the remote Eveno-Bytantaisky, Zhigansky, and Verkhozansky districts in Siberia, Russia saw their day turn into a 'complete darkness' for almost three hours on Friday, July 20, 2018.

"I couldn’t see a thing without switching lights on. We took torches to walk outside, but no-one wanted to be on the street because the feeling was as if something heavy in the air was pressing on your chest", said one resident. . .

There is still no official explanation of the phenomenon from meteorological, defense, or other deferral officials.

Because no official explanation has come forth, many theories are out there. I do not know if this darkness was from God OR if it was man made. If it is man made, I am referring to how the elite of the world are using fallen angel technology and have put into place one or more sun simulators. 

On the same day as the Russian blackout, AO.com (the online electricals retailer) first aired an ad showing the sun blinking so two technicians change it's "bulb". The ad--AO Saves the Day!--has since been removed. Fortunately, LoveisGod7 YTC (at the 5:04 minute mark) included that ad in JESUS TOLD ME WHY THE SUN IS BLINKING !!!

Starting at about the 20-minute mark in his Red Planet with 3 Orbiting Moons video, in addition to giving photographic evidence of Planet X and three of its orbiting bodies, Jeff P also explains how there is a lens array being used to hide Planet X and shows evidence of how it works. Steve Olson has additional evidence at WSO Proof of Planet X and System Hiding It.

The 9^th Plague

Whatever reason this darkness came to Russia, it is possible it could occur again. This was in the back of my mind when I saw MidnightHourOil’s most recent video, Warning Dreams!!! Darkness and Danger warning of a coming time of darkness. As I watched the video, I remembered a dream that I believe the Lord Jesus gave me back in 2015. More on that later.

I also remembered how I wrote that we are seeing a reenactment of the 10 plagues of Egypt:

Comeback of the Plagues of Egypt

To my knowledge the Scriptures do not foretell that the world will see a reenactment of the ten plagues Egypt experienced during the time of Moses. However, that is exactly what has been happening! The Youtube channel Rapture Watchers does an excellent job encapsulating prophetic signs. Back in 2017 she did a video—The Prophecies are Happening Right Before our Eyes!—that listed eight of the ten plagues of Moses that made a comeback in 2016:

Waters to blood✅

Frogs✅

Gnats or lice✅

Swarms of flies✅

Animals die✅

Boils✅

Hail✅

Locusts✅

One of the plagues of Egypt was darkness. The Spirit of the Lord has not shown me this will occur, but there are those who have been prophesying three days of darkness to occur worldwide before the rapture. [Excerpt from tribulation before Tribulation]

There are many prophetic parallels between Israel’s exodus out of Egypt and the Overcoming Church’s exodus out of the world so the reoccurrence of these plagues is compelling.

When I wrote in the above article that “The Spirit of the Lord has not shown me this will occur”, I had forgotten my 2015 dream.  

2015 Dream

I had been praying that God would give me a night vision or dream and on April 11, 2015, He did.

In the dream I was riding in a red convertible with a number of other people. I had the sense that we were going to a conference or some other gathering of the saints. The top was down and it was a beautiful day where the sky was that clear blue with only fluffy white clouds here and there. I looked up and saw UFOs in the clouds overhead so I asked the driver to slow down so I could get a better look at them since I had never seen them before. (In real life I have never seen a UFO either.) The clouds obscured a clear view but the crafts were circular. I saw three but somehow knew there were more.

There was no feeling of alarm in the dream until the sky suddenly went black—so black you could not see anything. By this time the car I had been traveling in had stopped or was forced to stop due to the darkness. In my dream it seemed that I instantly went from the car scene to a scene where I was in what seemed to be an abandoned house. I remember being with a man (unknown to me) and a toddler (also unknown) with other people in the background who were in the house waiting until sunlight came again. [Excerpt from Giants, Aliens and a Total Solar Eclipse]

Dreams must be weighed against the Scriptures. Most of the verses I found on the sun being darkened relate to the time of Jacob’s Trouble when the 7-year period of Israel’s travail or The Tribulation begins. However, Joel 2 refers to the sun being darkened before the day of the Lord begins:

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. - Joel 2:31 KJV

Many are familiar with this verse for it has been used relative to The Solar Eclipse Omen and the blood moon tetrad.

In 2 Kings Chapter 20 there is a record of the sun’s shadow retrogressing on a dial in the courtyard of Hezekiah. Although there are no verses to prove God will cause three days of darkness, it is very evident He is capable of such a miracle should He choose to do so.

No Fear

So, there you have it. As one of My Lord’s many watchmen, I would feel remiss if I didn’t submit this information for your prayerful consideration.

I appreciate the video Cornelius Jones did related to this subject wherein he says (at about the 20 minute mark), “In my studies of the Scriptures, I have seen where God prophesies He will use darkness not just for judgment but as a sign of the coming judgment.” 

The children of Israel had light in their homes during the plague of darkness and were safe (Exodus 10:23). Because we emanate the Light of the World having Christ in us, we need have no fear if this plague of darkness should come upon us.

Is There Really a Rapture? <-- In this video a Sister in Christ (Lessie McCarter) talks about a prophetic dream her 13-year-old daughter had on July 27, 2022, where she was shown a series of events to occur: first, an earthquake, then a blackout, and finally the return of Jesus to gather His Bride.

The DRAGON then BIRTH!

Gary of Unsealed.org pointed out something about the Revelation 12:1-2 celestial alignment that should have occurred to me before now, but here it is:

Keep in mind that the Great Sign of Revelation 12:1-2 is of a woman in labor, not the birth of the male child.  The birth doesn't occur until verse 5.  These dates, like the rest of this research, are speculative, but consider:

Conception: 12/23/16

Woman in labor (The Great Sign): 9/23/17 - 9/24/17

Birth of the male child: 10/13/17

According to Micah 5:3 the dispensational change between the Church Age and the Tribulation doesn't occur until the woman gives birth (the corporate male child), thus September 23rd didn't mark the change in dispensation - it only marked the nearness to the ultimate event: the rapture of the Church. [Excerpt from unsealed.org/shemini-atzeret]

The Dragon makes its appearance BEFORE the birth of the male child in verse 5!! IF my research and harmony of the Scriptures is correct, then we have NOT YET SEEN the second wonder of Revelation 12!

Conception

I am in agreement with Gary that the ‘conception’ of the Revelation 12 man child occurred sometime around December 23, 2016—during Hanukkah—The Season of Light! 

It makes sense that the conception of the man child (which I believe represents those who will rule the nations with the Messiah as He promised in Revelation 2:26-27) would follow the same pattern as the Head, for Scriptural and astronomical evidence indicates that Jesus was conceived around that season as well.

December 23, 2016 was also the date of the historic anti-Israel resolution 2334 that was approved by the United Nations Security Council, which demanded that God's land be divided. [Excerpt from unsealed.org/shemini-atzeret]

Woman in Labor

Originally, I and many others speculated that The Tribulation would begin when the September 23-24 celestial alignment occurred. This was not the case, obviously; but I still believe that alignment was the Revelation 12:1-2 Great Wonder and that it is still a sign that Jacob’s Trouble/The Tribulation will soon begin.

The Great Red Dragon

Cris Putnam writes on page 129 of the book On the Path of the Immortals:

Notice that this ultimate Great Red Dragon has seven heads, just like the Leviathan of the Canaanites. However, the same text sheds light on several mysteries. “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him”( Revelation 12:9)…In one fell swoop, John has connected the dragon to the Nachash, “the shining one” who deceived Eve in the garden, to Diablos,” the slanderer,” to Satan, “the adversary,” and identifies the sum total as one being consigned to terrorize the earth during the Great Tribulation.

As we argued in chapter 1, the most consistent view with the whole counsel of God is that the angelic war culminating in Satan’s demotion to earth is a future event. Amazon.com link

According to the order presented in Revelation 12, it appears that the Dragon/Satan must first take one-third of the Stars/Fallen Angels and cast them down BEFORE the birth of the man child:

And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. - Revelation 12:3 KJV

And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. - Revelation 12:4 KJV

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne. - Revelation 12:5 KJV

OR the displacement of Satan and his horde may occur almost simultaneously with the birth of the man child (i.e., the rapture of the Overcomers) as I have written before with the transformed sons of God rising as the angels fall.

So where is the Dragon? Has it appeared yet or not?

I believe that many if not all of the events foretold in the Book of Revelation will unfold as spiritual AND physical manifestations. The physical manifestation of the Dragon I speculate may be Planet X/Nibiru and its orbiting system.  

Starting at about the 20-minute mark in his Red Planet with 3 Orbiting Moons video, Jeff P gives photographic evidence of Planet X and three of its orbiting bodies. He also explains how there is a lens array being used to hide Planet X and shows evidence of how it works. Steve Olson has additional evidence at WSO Proof of Planet X and System Hiding It.

David Meade's original hypothesis was that Planet X would arrive by November 2017 (Nibiru Will Pass Earth Before November 2017). I believe Nibiru is real but the date it will begin to bring real chaos to the Earth is conjecture. It is noteworthy, however, that David Meade’s timing is within the window Unsealed is referring to for the birth of the man child (October 13). The Sixth Seal is the most likely time associated with the destruction of this incoming planetary system. (For more information related to this go to Time to Save With Fear.)

Birth/Rapture

Scripture shows that the rapture does occur prior to the Tribulation. To better understand how the Church Bride will be caught up before the travail of the woman in Revelation 12, you will want to watch Alan Horvath’s two videos: The Most Comprehensive Rapture Update andKar Giver's Bonus Rapture Update 2017. He and Kar Giver explain how Scripture prophesies of TWO CORPORATE BIRTHS:

1)      First birth will be prior to the travail of the woman—“The Great Sign of Revelation 12 does not represent the rapture. The birth of the zakar (singular) mentioned in Isaiah 66:7 does refer to the rapture by referring to the birth out of Israel that occurs before labor begins—before the Tribulation in other words…We are not looking at one birth…but two corporate births that occur at different times with respect to the Tribulation.” (Quote from Kar Giver's Bonus Rapture Update 2017)

2)     Second birth will occur after the Tribulation begins. [Excerpt from By the Skin of Our Teeth]

To understand more about the events surrounding the rapture of the Church Bride read The Day of the Lord. Gary’s article points to October 13 as the possible timing of the birth of the man child:

Exactly 42 weeks to the day from December 23, 2016 is October 13, 2017 - Shemini Atzeret and the day Jupiter leaves Virgo.  Could this be the actual date of the birth of the male child and Revelation 12:5?  38 to 42 weeks is considered a perfect/normal pregnancy. [Excerpt from unsealed.org/shemini-atzeret]

We are half a year away from the 70th anniversary of the rebirth of Israel. The time of “The Fig Tree Generation” is almost up since 2017 marks anniversaries for Israel that cover the gamut of the Biblical definition of a generation.

After our Messiah meets the Overcoming Church in the air, seven years later on the Day of Atonement is when Christ will actually set foot on Earth (see the section titled Yeshua's Second Coming and Yom Kippur at hebroots.com). Watchfortheday.org made this observation based on the assumption The Tribulation begins in 2017:

If the Tribulation ends on the Day of Atonement 2024, then 2,520 [days] back from that day is November 19, 2017.  The sign of Revelation 12 then comes 57 days before the Tribulation. This gap matches the gap between the end of Daniel’s 69 weeks on Palm Sunday and the beginning of the Church on Pentecost.

The sign of Revelation 12 makes sense as a sign warning to us all that the Tribulation is coming, just as depicted in the sign itself with the virgin (Israel) about to go through tribulation. For the Church, our time is then short. The requirements of the sign make it extremely rare making 2017 the only year in which it coincides with the final generation. [Excerpt from The Great Sign of Revelation 12] [Bracketed information and highlighting added.]

Caveat: I do not necessarily agree with all the beliefs of anyone whose material I reference. I seek to be led of the Spirit of God as to the sources I use, however, even Spirit-filled Christians only 'see in part' as it says in 1 Corinthians 13:12.

THE RAPTURE & THE LAST DAYS

Earlier today I was inspired to take one of my favorite books down from the shelf to see what was written about Rosh HaShanah, the next festival on the calendar celebrated this year beginning sundown September 4.

"The gates of Heaven are opened on Rosh HaShanah so the righteous nation may enter (Isaiah 26:2; Psalm 118:19-20). Because the gates of Heaven are understood to be open on RoshHaShanah, this is further evidence that the rapture (natzal) of the believers in the Messiah Yeshua will take place on Rosh HaShanah. [Excerpt from Ed Chumney's The Seven Festivals of the Messiah, page 115.]

 

The English word 'rapture' is natzal in Hebrew or harpazo in the Greek language. Coincidentally (?) I stumbled upon this 15 minute youtube video [link], where Chuck Missler shares what his understanding is regarding the timing of the rapture (harpazo). He believes it could indeed occur at ANY TIME and is NOT CONTINGENT ON ANY OTHER EVENT. I love that he encourages people not to take his word for this, but to study it for themselves!

At this point, my understanding leans toward the Messianic belief that we will meet the Lord in the clouds on Rosh HaShanah, the Hebrew new year. This day is referred to as "the day no man knows" (Matthew 24:36) because the new moon marks the first day of the new year and is not known until the new moon is sighted.

As believers in the Messiah, our Jesus, we recognize the appointed seasons and are not in darkness.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. I Thessalonians 5:4


 Looking for that glorious hope~

P.S. If you are interested in understanding the difference between the RAPTURE and THE DAY OF THE LORD, Mr. Missler gives an excellent explanation at this site [link]. After clicking on the link, click on the audio presentation labeled 'The Rapture'.
