HEAVEN AND NATURE SING!

The day Jesus was born was discovered after the fact. The wise men (or magos in the Greek) understood from God’s signs in the heavenlies of His soon coming and prepared for it, but not until the angels appeared to the shepherds (Luke 7:2-11) did anyone but Jesus’ earthly parents know He had first come as The Light of the World.

No one to this day can determine the exact hour a child will be born if it is a natural birth. God knows when that life is conceived and when that life will be born (Isaiah 66:9). So, too, only Father God knows when the Overcoming Man Child will be born resulting in the manifestation of the Revelation 12:5 Event. The Heavenly Signs of 2018

BUT HAS THE HOLY SPIRIT REVEALED THE TIME? Taking into account Amos 3:7 and Deuteronomy 29:29, this may be the case with the saints who are being shown that our joyous expectation will be fulfilled during this Season of Light!

Hanukkah Harpazo

Not that the Rapture or Harpazo of the Overcoming Church has to happen on a holiday, but the Spirit of the Lord has shown a number of the brethren to look towards The Last Great Day. (Although this day is associated with the Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot, Chanukah became a Second Feast of Tabernacles.)

 

Our Brother in Christ Todd at IT IS FINISHED YT just posted what I think is the most exciting video yet-- REV 1:13, 7 LAMPS, John 10 HARPAZO. . . He shares about receiving phenomenal confirmations from God about this Season of Hanukkah! Not only that but he points to the fact that the word harpazō was said TWICE by Jesus during Hanukkah:

And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck [harpazō]  them out of my hand.

My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [harpazō]  [them] out of my Father's hand. John 10:22-28 KJV

As Todd said, the reason no one will pluck His sheep from His hand is because He Himself will pluck or harpazō His people (1 Thessalonians 4:17)!

Both REVELATIONCHAPTER12dotcom YT (Hanukkah - Day 444 - Donald Trump & Blood Moons) and Many Fish posted videos on December 4 making a connection with the last day of Hanukkah (December 10, 2018) being 444 days after the September 23, 2017, Sign of the Woman! This is also when the Sanhedrin will perform a ceremony that will include the consecration of a stone altar prepared for use in the Third Temple. 

Back in 2012 Five Doves published an article stating the Scriptures make it clear that the Rapture will occur at Hanukkah:

What the Lord is saying here is that the 7^th day of the Feast of Tabernacles was the correct time for Him to shake the heavens and the earth, but the time has been moved to the second Feast of Tabernacles, a.k.a. Hanukkah.

. . . The Lord is telling us that we have not yet been raptured on the 7^th day of Tabernacles . . . He will come on the second Feast of Tabernacles, which is Hanukkah. [Excerpt from fivedoves.com]

THE HEAVENS DECLARE

Twins

We are seeing the converging signs for the birthing of “twins”—the first birth being that of the Revelation 12 Man Child (also foreshadowed in Isaiah 66:7 and Zephaniah 2:1-3) and the second birth being when those who come to believe on Messiah Jesus will be welcomed into the Millennial Kingdom. (Related articles: Birthing of the Millennial Kingdom and The Two-Part Coming of the Messiah)

It is noteworthy that God specifically mentions the Sun and the Moon in Genesis:

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: - Genesis 1:14 KJV

And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also. - Genesis 1:16 KJV

The greater light that rules the day is, of course, the Sun; and the lesser light is the Moon.

The moon is a messianic Bride symbol just as the sun is a messianic Bridegroom symbol. Just as the moon has no light of its own but reflects the light of the sun and therefore shows its glory, so is the Bride with the Bridegroom.

The Open Scroll

In the video, December Night Sky by Nemesis Maturity, there is heavenly activity explained that caught my prophetic eye.  

At approximately 1:15 minutes, the screen says, “Catch your last view of Saturn for several months when it nears the Moon at Sunset December 8 through the 10^th”.

Saturn has long been known to symbolize Satan while the Moon represents "the virgin bride". Maybe I am reading too much into it, but Saturn disappearing made me think of the Dragon being cast down in Revelation 12 and standing before the woman:

“. . . 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 12:4b KJV

Will the Dragon stand before The Woman as Hanukkah ends at nightfall December 10? It is my highest hope because the next verse is the harpazō!

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up [G726--harpazō] unto God, and [to] his throne. - Revelation 12:5 KJV

Then at about 2:50 minutes in the same video an animated chart shows that from December 24-26 the Moon moves from below the Orion and Gemini constellations towards the bold white star Regulus of Leo.

Seeing Gemini (“twins”) reminded me that this month would also welcome the Geminids:

The Geminids are considered to be one of the most spectacular meteor showers of the year, with the possibility of sighting around 120 meteors per hour at its peak, which is on December 13 or 14, depending on your time zone.

The shower owes its name to the constellation Gemini because the meteors seem to emerge from this constellation in the sky. timeanddate.com

The video also shares information on the Geminids which are active December 4^th through the 17^th and report that the peak lasts for a full 24 hours so people around the world will get to see this spectacle!

Mars and Neptune in Aquarius

When listening to Many Fish’s video Aquarius Mars and Neptune Today, he shared about learning of the conjunction of the planets Mars and Neptune in the constellation Aquarius and all I could think of was:

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; - Luke 21:25 KJV

Mars represents “war”— distress of nations—and Neptune refers to the sea and earthquakes, thus the sea and the waves roaring! And look what Bullinger writes regarding the constellation Aquarius:

It speaks of that glorious time when Israel shall be restored, and their "eyes shall see the King in His beauty"; when the peace of Zion shall be no more disturbed, "but there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams" (Isaiah 33:17,20,21). . .

"Fear not, O Jacob, My servant;
And thou, Jesu run, whom I have chosen,
For I will POUR WATER upon him that is thirsty,
And floods upon the dry ground;
I will pour My Spirit upon thy seed,
And My blessing upon thy offspring.
Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel,
And his Redeemer the LORD of hosts." Isaiah 44:2, 3, 6

. . . This is the meaning of the Sign. The MAN Christ Jesus, who was humbled in death will yet be seen to be the pourer forth of every blessing. Physically pouring forth literal waters, removing the curse, and turning this world into a paradise:

"Making her wilderness like Eden,
And her desert like the garden of the LORD." Isaiah 51:3

And morally pouring forth His Spirit in such abundance as to fill the whole earth with peace, and blessing, and glory, "as the waters cover the sea." The Witness of the Stars by E. W. Bullinger

  

EARTH RINGING

Along with all the heavenly activity, much is astir on Earth as well!

Thanks to Jimboni, a fellow watcher who commented on Rev12Daily blogspot, I found out that Many Fish reported on the earth ringing like a bell on November 11 (For Whom? The Bell Tolled 11/11!). I must agree with Jimboni who pointed out that this unexplainable occurrence was an act of God and quoted:

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. - Psalm 19:1 KJV

Josh Peck in his December 4, 2018, video asked the question if this was a sign from God that would lead to the global quake of Revelation 6?

Back in September of this year, I wrote (and now think I may be wrong):

A woman in labor must dilate to 10 centimeters before she pushes the baby out. We will see one or two earthquakes that hit 9 on the Richter Scale before the Great Global Shaking of Revelation Chapter 6. One of those Level 9 quakes will be in America.

The Great Global Shaking of Revelation 6:12-14 will rock the planet at 10 or maybe higher and is most likely to occur simultaneously with the Resurrection/Rapture of those who are “in Christ” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). [Excerpt from Time to Focus! Mega Quake Before the Rapture?]

It would seem all indicators now are pointing to the Rapture happening in tandem with these devastating quakes, so—

The earth ringing like a bell may be God’s loud and clear signal that the GREAT SHAKING is next!

California has been long overdue for their “big one” and scientists in India are concerned about an 8.5 magnitude quake being overdue in the Himalayan region. More is happening in Heaven and on Earth than I can summarize without writing a dissertation! 

There is such a convergence in the spiritual and physical realms that it would seem we truly are on the verge of the pre-labor birth of the Man Child (Isaiah 66:7) and the beginning of The Tribulation also referred to as Jacob’s Trouble or The Birthpangs of the Messiah.

Will it be “The Season of Lights Out” as I wrote in More Heavenly Signs in 2018 as Spirit-filled saints are loosed from the earth and exit the planet? Now THAT would be the best gift ever!

Come Thou Long Awaited King!

Jesus Walked in the Temple and it was Winter

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. - John 8:12 KJV

While thinking on the Lord recently I was led to read of when he healed the man born blind from birth. As I read the account in the Book of John I saw something that I had not seen before or had forgotten.

What I realized was that the Messiah performed this miracle just prior to going into the temple during the feast of dedication.

And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. - John 10:22-23 KJV


Those of you who read my blog or are familiar with the scriptural holidays know that the feast of the dedication is also called Hanukkah or The Festival of Light (read also: Hanukkah and Jesus).

Going back one chapter to John 9 is the account I am referring to:  

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. John 9:1-5 KJV

I believe it is significant that the Lord speaks of day versus night--light versus darkness--for a couple of reasons.

First, the Messiah ministers healing to the man--born blind. A man who knew only darkness is given the gift of light. Not only does the man receive physical light, but he receives spiritual light. When questioned--or rather 'drilled' by the Pharisees:

The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and [yet] he hath opened mine eyes.
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.  If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. - John 9:30,31,33 KJV


It had been written in the Old Testament that the Messiah would fulfill many prophesies including healing the blind. It is very significant that Jesus not only healed a blind person but healed one who had been born blind--

Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. John 9:32

So prior to walking into the temple during the feast of light, THE Light of the World fulfills prophesy by performing a miracle never done before.

Because of our Messiah fulfilling all things, those who believe on Him have His Spirit residing within and are able to do the works He did and greater (John 14:12).

We dwell in a world that seems ever darkening, but we are not of this world and therefore do not dwell in the darkness! We must look through eyes of enlightenment remembering it is Christ in us--the Light of the World.

Abundant Love and Blessings to You and Yours this Season of Light!
 

This Little [Flash] Light of Mine

I have a small lemon-yellow flashlight that I pack in my suitcase whenever I travel. I have had it for years. It has even been all the way to the other side of the world with me when my husband and I ministered in India.

The last time I used my wee torch (as the British would call it) was the weekend I spent with my sisters at our First Annual Sisters Get Together last spring. There was a thunderstorm that first night, so I pulled my trusty flashlight out and announced that I was placing it on the coffee table of the sitting room in case the electricity went out.

The following morning the coffee table became the post for our kaffee klatsch, so the flashlight was relegated to a new location unbeknownst to me. The thrill of being among such beloved women caused me to forget all about the little beacon…until I was unpacking at home.

“Honey, did you see my yellow flashlight when you brought my luggage in?” I asked my husband. “Nope,” came his perfunctory answer.

I scoured the car after thoroughly emptying my bags and still did not find it. The thought came that I should call the inn and ask them to mail it back to me. The idea of asking the staff to hunt down, package, and mail a $2 flashlight was absurd. Finally, I admitted to myself that my tiny treasure was gone.

In the morning I plodded downstairs to make coffee. I was the first one up. As my manner is, I sipped a glass of water and began opening up the blinds in the living room. On the coffee table of the living room sat—you guessed it—my infamous yellow flashlight.

“My flashlight!” I announced to no one. “Thank you, Lord!” My first thought was to give thanks. But who found it?

This began the second great inquisition as I queried each member of the family who walked into the kitchen. “Did YOU find my flashlight and put it on the coffee table?”

“No, Mom, it wasn’t me.”
“No, Gramma.”
“No, Honey.”
“What flashlight?”
“No, Mimi. Can I play with it?”

When I had asked the last person, I made a happy declaration. “That settles it. An angel of the Lord has returned my flashlight to me!”

Why would the Lord bother to return my flashlight? At first I looked for a deep meaning behind it. But I think He did it just because He wanted to. Just to bless me. But it’s something I will never forget. Perhaps He simply wants me to always expect the miraculous and to remember to let my little light shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. - Matthew 5:16 KJV


P.S. I am called to intercede for God's women. Please leave a comment or email me with any prayer concerns. It is an honor to pray for you!

What Does Hanukkah Have to Do With Jesus?

This year Hanukkah began at sunset on December 1. Were you aware that the Lord is mentioned in the New Testament regarding Hanukkah?

It was winter and Jesus was in the Temple in Jerusalem for Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication. John 10:22-23 KJV

This feast is also called ‘The Festival of Light’. It is not one of the seven major festivals as named in the Old Testament; nonetheless, we should be aware of its significance. (For more information on the seven festivals, see my blog posting in September 2010 titled ‘Remember I Love You’.)

Just as Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Feasts of the Lord, He is THE FULFILLMENT OF THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHT—HE IS ‘The Light of the World’!



Another wonderful truth about Hanukkah is that it is the time of year when Mary conceived Jesus, Our Savior. Yes, The Light of the World came to earth during The Festival of Light. For greater understanding of how this could be true, follow this link to The Messianic Center's site and read the article 'Dreaming of an Autumnal Christmas': http://www.themessianiccenter.com/2009/10/1/dreaming-of-an-autumnal-christmas

Hanukkah is a special celebration begun many years ago to remember when God’s people were victorious over darkness. Let us celebrate Him who has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light! (I Peter 2:9)


Hallelujah!
