2019 Season of the Green Figs

My beloved spoke, and said to me:

"Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away.

For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over [and] gone.

The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come,

And the voice of the turtledove Is heard in our land.

Song of Solomon 2:10-12 NKJV

Oh, praise HIM! This morning as I was hiking uphill on my treadmill the Holy Spirit highlighted some things to me and so I must share them! Yesterday I spent some time contemplating the possibility of a Spring Resurrection/Rapture and came across Song of Solomon 2:10-13: 

My beloved spoke, and said to me:

"Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away.

For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over [and] gone.

The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come,

And the voice of the turtledove Is heard in our land.

The fig tree puts forth her green figs, And the vines [with] the tender grapes Give a [good] smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away!

Song of Solomon 2:10-13 NKJV 

This section of Scripture is, of course, a picture of the Resurrection and Rapture of the Bride being called to “rise up” to meet her Bridegroom—“And come away!” Also notice that at Springtime in the Middle East the fig tree puts forth green figs. Exactly when do green figs appear? At the Passover season:  

"At Passover season in late March or early April, fig trees are often in leaf on the eastern side of the Mount of Olives. At this time of year, such fig trees contained only green early figs (Arabs call them taqsh), which ripen around June but often drop off before that time, leaving only green leaves on the tree. A leafy tree lacking such early figs, however, would bear no figs at all that year," (Keener, A Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew [Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, July 1999], p. 504)

Jesus Curses the Fig Tree

Remember the account of Jesus and the fig tree?

And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not [yet].

And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard [it]. - Mark 11:12-14 KJV

And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. - Mark 11:20-21 KJV

 ‘The time of the fig is not yet,’ says Mark, for it was just before Passover, about six weeks before the fully-formed fig appears. The fact that Mark adds these words shows that he knew what he was talking about. When the fig leaves appear about the end of March, they are accompanied by a crop of small knobs, called taqsh by the Arabs, a sort of fore-runner of the real figs. These taqsh are eaten by peasants and others when hungry. They drop off before the real fig is formed. But if the leaves appear unaccompanied by taqsh, there will be no figs that year. So it was evident to our Lord, when He turned aside to see if there were any of these taqsh on the fig-tree to assuage His hunger for the time being, that the absence of the taqsh meant that there would be no figs when the time of figs came. For all its fair foliage, it was a fruitless and a hopeless tree." (Bruce, Are The New Testament Documents Reliable? [Intervarsity Press; Downers Grove, Ill, fifth revised edition 1992], pp. 73-74; bold emphasis ours)

. . . Moreover, the cursing of the fig tree is a played or acted out parable, one which warned the nation of Israel of impending judgment. answeringislam.org

As the above excerpt indicated, Jesus cursed the fig tree for “it was a fruitless and a hopeless tree”. The lack of green figs sprouting from the tree indicated that there would be no mature fruit when harvest time came.

This is a picture of the spiritual condition of Israel at the time their Messiah first came to them! Israel as a nation did not accept Yahshua as their Moshiach which left them without hope and having to endure the future Jacob’s Trouble—The Tribulation or Daniel’s 70^th Week. Along with other unbelievers, the Tribulation will be experienced by the natural-born Israelites who have not yet accepted Yahshua as their Messiah.

The Tree Now HAS Green Figs!

Paul Dawson published a wonderful video on the possibility of the Rapture occurring this Passover.

In the video he includes the account of Phillip and the Ethiopian eunuch who could not understand the Book of Isaiah Chapter 53. This reminded me of the story Zev Porat told in his recent video Outreach: Isaiah 53 Explodes In The Kotel (Western Wall). Zev tells how Isaiah 53 is taboo to the Jew and how he got into some trouble when witnessing at the Western Wall!

 

When I posted the link to this video on Rev12daily blogspot, Sherry Griffin commented that the man at the Kotel that Porat was ministering to who was listening so intently may be one of the 144,000 (Revelation 7:1-4):

Sheila B. February 2, 2019 at 12:19 PM

Lyn, TY so much for sharing that clip. It just had me imagining what 144K will look like as they reveal the True Messiah to those who will be starving for that Truth and how the gates of hell will never prevail! Blessings, Sister:-)

Sherry Griffin February 2, 2019 at 5:29 PM

Thank you Lyn, love Porat and this clip says it all. The Israelite Nation is under a judgement, blinded eyes and deaf ears until we are gone. There are those - like this man and the Messianics - who have genuinely seeking hearts and they are certainly allowed to see it. Banned Chapter indeed - no wonder - Isaiah 53 spells it out the most clearly of any of the Old Testament books. No wonder they had to ban it, even a child can see Yeshua is Mashiach! Sheila, we may have just been shown one of the 144,000 - the man Porat was ministering to and who was listening so intently. His Word will not return void. Blessings - Sherry

There are many theories on who the 144,000 are, but my point here is I believe the Spirit of the Lord is showing that we are in the SEASON OF THE GREEN FIGS. What I mean is that, just as Zev Porat experienced as he reached out to the Jewish man at the Kotel, many, many Jews are “ripe for the picking” as GREEN FIGS but will not be fully mature for HARVEST until sometime during The Tribulation. 

Much indicates that 2019 is THE year for the Rapture, especially because after 70 years, God inspects Israel. Spiritually, Jesus will again be INSPECTING THE FIG TREE TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY GREEN FIGS upon it!

Passover and Purim

Referring back to Paul Dawson’s February 5 video, it very much caught my attention when he shared how the fast of Esther was during Passover!

I shared in The Die is Cast article how the religious leaders in Israel are expecting their Messiah to come (the first time) on Purim this year and how this could possibly point to the Resurrection/Rapture of the Overcoming Church occurring then!

On the Hebrew calendar Purim begins at sunset March 20 and is observed until sunset March 21. However, Passover 2019 will begin in the evening of Friday, April 19, and end the evening of Saturday, April 27. Israel’s 70^th anniversary year will be completed on May 14, 2019.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself;

that where I am, [there] ye may be also. - John 14:2-3 KJV

The eager Bride has been watching and anticipating that any day now, the Bridegroom will come. He promised to make a Home for them and to come back for Her. The Holy Spirit has made Her ready and She longingly hopes They will have a Spring Wedding.

THE DIE IS CAST!

Recent Rabbinic Prophecy

Soon after writing about my dream of the dance card, I read the January 22, 2019, Breaking Israel News article titled Rabbi: Messiah Began on Sunday, Will Appear on Purim, and Will Finish With Israeli Elections.

Here's an excerpt:

Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, one of the most prominent rabbis of this generation, made a shocking statement, claiming that the Messiah will precede the upcoming Israeli elections. Several rabbis noted that the writing is on the wall and the signs that the process leading up to the Messiah has already begun…for those who have the eyes to see it. . .

The article also reported that Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky referred to the January Blood Moon over America during Tu B’Shevat as a harbinger for that nation (see my articles related to the Super Blood Wolf Moon here and here) AND that “If the conflict with Syria develops, it will become clear that the process of the Messiah began on Tu B’Shevat.”

Rabbi Kanievsky’s statement was also discussed by Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson, an expert in Torah codes, in a recent video. Using a Torah program that searches for equidistant letter sequences in the Bible, Rabbi Glazerson did a search for relevant expressions concerning Kanievsky’s announcement. He noted that the term “יבוא משיח” (the Messiah will come) appears once in Leviticus 23 adjacent to the letters “תשעט” signifying the current Hebrew year, 5779.

The rabbi also noted that included in the table was the word “מפורים” (from Purim). The holiday of Purim will fall on March 21 this year, three and a half weeks before the Israeli elections.

Also included in the table is the word “תשובה” (repentance) and אמונה (belief). Breaking Israel News

Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from Haman, who was planning to kill all the Jews. The Book of Esther explains the days of Purim.

The vast majority of Jews do not believe that Jesus Christ is the Moshiach or Messiah and so are expecting what they believe is their Messiah to appear this Purim! Instead of the Messiah, however, they will be getting the Anti-Messiah.

Jesus Himself warned that during Daniel’s 70^th Week (the 7-year Tribulation or Jacob’s Trouble) the Jews will once again have to face severe persecution and possible destruction at the hands of a Haman-like monster, or more accurately “beast”. Dr. Thomas Ice explains:

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) - Matthew 24:15 KJV

Previously, we saw that Matthew 24:15 describes an event that fixes the chronological midpoint of the seven-year tribulation. Verses 16-20 describe the recommended response of the faithful who see the abomination of desolation in Jerusalem. They are to get out of Dodge as fast as they can. Why? It is because the second-half of the tribulation will be a time of persecution and great tribulation for the Jewish remnant.

This passage is saying that the moment the Jewish Remnant (the elect in Matthew 24:22, 24, 31) sees the watershed event of the abomination of desolation then they are to flee to the Judean hills. Why are they to flee instantly? It is because with the instantaneous event of the Beast (antichrist) setting up the abomination of desolation in the rebuilt Jewish Temple, he goes from protecting Israel to persecuting her. blb commentary/thomas ice

I can’t help but think that since Israel is looking for a false Messiah at this time, that God is in reality warning them they will soon lose their greatest ally (the United States) AND will be entering the time that leads to the same horrors they were subject to during the time of Esther and Haman!

I am hoping my dance card dream means as Israel is looking for their false Messiah, that instead the True One will come and harpazo or rapture those of us who are expectantly watching for Him.

Why Is It Called Purim?

Purim is celebrated in the month of Adar. The current Hebrew Year 5779 is a Leap Year; therefore, there are TWO months of Adar—Adar I and Adar II. During a Leap Year, Purim is celebrated beginning at sunset on the 13^th of Adar II and ends sunset on the 14^th , which on the Gregorian calendar translates into March 20-21, 2019 (see hebcal.com).

Purim means “lots” in ancient Persian. The holiday was thus named since Haman had thrown lots to determine when he would carry out his diabolical scheme. chabad.org (See also Esther 9:24.)

 

The Spirit of the Lord brought back to my memory that Haman cast lots or dice as I was watching one of Colleen Minter’s videos, The dye/die is cast!! Some of the etymology behind the phrase:

From games of chance in which the outcome is determined by the throwing of dice or a single die. Popularized by its use by Suetonius when Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon to begin a civil war in the Roman Republic, indicating the commission of an irreversible act, whence also cross the Rubicon.

. . . The future is determined; there are no more options; events will proceed in an irreversible manner; the point of no return has been passed. wiktionary.org

Take the recent passing in the State of New York of the so-called Reproductive Health Act that allows for late-term abortions, even up to the moment of a child’s birth (limited only by vaguely-defined conditions), add the atrocities of pedophilia, mix in the homosexual agenda and top it off with the Trump peace plan which is projected to call for the further division of Israel and Jerusalem—the apple of God’s eye—and it is no wonder “the die has been cast” and the point of no return has come!

What does God mean by this? I believe He has determined the day His wrath will come upon the earth. This is bad news for the world but good news for those who love His appearing for He has promised they will be saved from wrath.

1797 Rabbinic Prophecy and the Falling Away

In his latest Mid-East Prophecy Update J. D. Farag talked about another prophecy given by a Rabbi in which this 18^th century sage singled out Russian aggression as a precursor to the coming of the Messiah. TyGreen YTC included the clip from that video in his latest titled Israeli Rabbis Expect The Messiah Before The Elections.

It is my belief, along with many other brethren, that if these prophecies come to pass and the Messiah the Jews are expecting (the Antichrist) does enter the world’s stage this Spring that means the Overcoming Church must first exit!

My belief that the Overcomers are resurrected/raptured before the revealing of the Antichrist comes from what I have learned related to the “falling away” of 2 Thessalonians 2:3:

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

In 2 Thessalonians 2:1 the phrase "gathering together" is translated from the Greek word episunagogue and refers to the Great Assembly--a gathering together in one place of all believers (Hebrews 12:22-23).

The phrase "a falling away" is translated from the Greek he apostasia. It is quite enlightening to find that most of the earlier English versions translated he apostasia as 'the departure'. erfministries.com 

Kenneth Wuest, a Greek scholar from Moody Bible Institute added the following contextual support to taking apostasia as a physical departure:

But then hee apostasia of which Paul is speaking, precedes the revelation of Antichrist in his true identity, and is to katechon that which holds back his revelation (2:6). The hee apostasia, therefore, cannot be either a general apostasy in Christendom which does precede the coming of Antichrist, nor can it be the particular apostasy which is the result of his activities in making himself the alone object of worship.  Furthermore, that which holds back his revelation (vs. 3) is vitally connected with hoo katechoon (vs. 7), He who holds back the same event.  The latter is, in my opinion, the Holy Spirit and His activities in the Church.  All of which means that I am driven to the inescapable conclusion that the hee apostasia (vs. 3) refers to the Rapture of the Church which precedes the Day of the Lord, and holds back the revelation of the Man of Sin who ushers in the world-aspect of that period.[12] bibleone.net

The End—of the Age, that is

We’re coming into the tail end of Israel’s 70^th year. Like the brave pilot who brings a plane in for a landing when it has lost its engine, let’s warn everybody to hold onto their hats due to the bumpy ride ahead. However, those of us looking for His Appearing won’t be making a landing, we will be taking off in flight!

The days of our lives [are] seventy years; And if by reason of strength [they are] eighty years, Yet their boast [is] only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away. - Psalm 90:10 NKJV

GET YOUR DANCE CARD READY!

Recently, I had a dream which I believe was from the True One; yet I certainly welcome discernment from my Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

The dream was simply of a pretty dance card hanging from a thin clothesline or string. I couldn’t read what it said but just “knew” it was for an event to be held on April 17.

I wasn’t too sure about sharing this brief dream because of a date being involved. I am not foretelling that the Rapture will happen on April 17, but the clothesline made me think of the “timeline” we have been studying relative to the Book of Daniel’s 70^th week.

Something else prophetically interesting occurred related to “the dance” which gave impetus to my study. Over a week ago I was inspired to share with some fellow believers a small segment from Mark Ekawamai’s FINAL HOUR 334 wherein Youtube Channel Become Like Jesus shared a word she received from the Lord that came to her in two parts. The first part was received as a song that she had not heard since she was a child. I recognized it immediately because it was a song from my daughter’s favorite Cinderella movie (the 1965 version) titled Ten Minutes Ago. 

This naturally caught my attention! But look at some of the lyrics:

I have found her! She’s an angel

With the dust of the stars in her eyes

We are dancing

We are flying

And she’s taking me back to the skies!

In the arms of my love I’m flying

Over mountain and meadow and glen

And I like it so well that for all I can tell

I may never come down again

I may never come down to earth again!

I wept as I just now listened again to this song. I know, I know. As a girl, I so very much relate emotionally to the thought of our Ultimate Bridegroom, Jesus Christ. All of us, however—even the guys—relate to the longing in our hearts to be with Him.

Seventeen

The night I received the dream I was so concerned that I might forget the date—April 17—that I kept repeating it over and over until I awoke.

SEVENTEEN stands out very prominently as a significant number. It is not a multiple of any other number, and therefore it has no factors. Hence it is called one of the prime (or indivisible) numbers. What is more, it is the seventh in the list of the prime numbers. . . seventeen being the seventh of the series, it partakes of and intensifies the significance of the number seven. Indeed, it is the combination or sum of two perfect numbers—seven and ten—seven being the number of spiritual perfection, and ten of ordinal perfection.

. . . We see a beautiful illustration in Romans 8:35-39 which. . . set[s] forth the spiritual and eternal perfection of the believer's standing in Christ. Number in Scripture--E. W. Bullinger

In the Bible the number 17 symbolizes "overcoming the enemy" and "complete victory." God overcame the sins of rebellious humans when he began to flood the earth through rain on the 17th of the second Hebrew month. Noah's ark and its eight passengers rested on the mountains of Ararat on the 17th of the seventh month (right in the middle of God's annual Holy period known as the Feast of Tabernacles). bible.org

After posting this article on January 28, a Brother in the Lord told me (by leaving a Comment) about Ty Green’s video The Holy Bible, The Rapture and the number 17, which shows the correlation of the number 17 with the Rapture, so be sure to check out this 5-minute video also. (Thank you, Jordan!) Also you will want to check out the Comments below as well because there is more confirming information shared! 

Valentine’s Day Dance?

Tim Henderson reported today that Russia, Turkey, and Iran are scheduled to meet in February to discuss the objectives in Syria. Brother Tim also said things are heating up between the United States and China due to their trade war which is now causing EU stocks to begin to plummet. This will contribute to the triggering of prophetic events that will lead to the Resurrection/Rapture of the Overcoming Church!

We have seen through the Scriptures that God inspects Israel when 70 years is accomplished. BUT WHAT DATE DOES GOD MARK AS THE CONCLUSION OF 70 YEARS? If May 14, 2018, is the correct date to mark the anniversary, why then was there no accompanying celestial sign? These were excellent questions posed by Lighting Fires for Christ.

  

Thanks to Sherry Griffin posting the link to this video at unsealed.org/the-law, I learned some things worth sharing. For example, Israel declared its independence on May 14, 1948; however, February 14, 1949, was when the Knesset first met—on Tu B’Shevat. Could THIS be the date God chose to mark Israel’s actual beginning?

This led me to look up other dates associated with the replanting of the Fig Tree Nation from knesset.gov.il:

14.2.1949	The first sitting of the Constituent Assembly was held. Joseph Shprinzak was elected as Speaker of the Assembly.
16.2.1949	The Constituent Assembly ratified the Transition Law, which changed its name to the First Knesset, and elected Chaim Weizmann as the first President of the State.
17.2.1949	Inauguration ceremony of Chaim Weizmann as President of the State of Israel.
8.3.1949	David Ben Gurion formed the First Government.

The title of Lighting Fires for Christ’s video asks another very pertinent question—Is the Blood Moon of 2019 the Midnight Cry? This Youtuber believes it was and bases it on the fact that the penumbral of the January 20 Super Blood Wolf Moon was over DC at the midnight hour. She then goes on in the video to point out, using the account in Matthew 25, that there is a space of time between when the midnight cry goes out until the actual arrival of the Bridegroom:

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil;

 for our lamps are gone out.

But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Matthew 25:5-10 KJV

In Verse 5 the midnight cry goes out, but it isn’t until Verse 10 that the Bridegroom actually comes!

If the midnight cry has gone out, February 14 might mark the completion of Israel’s 70 years allowing our Prince to come for us. Since it is when we celebrate Valentine’s Day, it would be a wonderful time to meet our Bridegroom in the air!

What About April?

So why did the dream indicate an April event?

According to The Jerusalem Post, Trump’s peace plan will be revealed this April after Israel’s elections on the 9^th. I believe this is in hopes of securing the re-election of the current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Also, once the peace plan is set forth, President Donald Trump will have a big feather in his cap as the United States begins in earnest its 2020 Presidential election race. J. D. Farag just this past Sunday reported that the Mid-East will have to accept a peace plan and that he believes the quest for “peace and safety” will lead to sudden destruction. 

Could it be that my dream means God is indicating the timeline for going Home is between now and the April election-related events OR that talks of a Mid-East peace plan being enforced in April will trigger war beforehand—as early as February?

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. - 1 Thessalonians 5:3 KJV

What I am sure of is I am excitedly anticipating the “first dance” with my Bridegroom! And if you are like me, His name is the only one on my dance card.

2019--End of the Trail?

At the Last Minute!

Although I am watching for the real possibility the Lord Jesus Christ will catch away His Overcomers this month around the time of the super blood wolf moon, I have to admit I have steeled my mind with the thought that we might have to wait until THE LAST MINUTE, as it seems we serve a God who rescues us when it looks like we are almost beyond rescuing. Remember when I shared this:

My mind began to be filled with memories of when my husband and I were in dire straits and I thought God had forgotten us. Not so! Help came before it was too late, but it came at the very last moment!

. . . One day, Beloved of the Lord, we will be pressed from all sides with nowhere to escape. Suddenly, He will snatch us up and away from the destruction—at the very last atomos!

In a moment, [atomos G823] in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. - 1 Corinthians 15:52 KJV

So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. - Hebrews 9:28 ESV

[Prepare to Meet Your Maker! excerpt]

Will God reveal to us what that last-minute departure is? Darren Jack of Clearlywrittendotnet YT Channel believes He has and recently prepared a 3-part series showing how the January 20, 2019, Super Blood Wolf Moon reveals to us the precise day of the Resurrection/Rapture.

January 20 Wannsee Conference

There is no doubt the January 20-21 super blood wolf moon serves as a sign and a harbinger. In Part 3 of his Blood Moon series, our Brother in Christ Darren revealed that it will occur on the anniversary of the notorious Wannsee Conference! The Wannsee Conference was a meeting of senior government officials of Nazi Germany and SS leaders held in the Berlin suburb of Wannsee on January 20, 1942, wherein they implemented the Final Solution to the Jewish “problem”. In other words, they made a plan that coordinated their departments in order to murder most of the Jews. (I will refer back to the Part 3 video later in this article.)

Gary of Unsealed gave further insight on this blood moon:

And now, in just two weeks, there appears to be a significant confluence of heavenly signs: a blood moon (total lunar eclipse) over the entire Western Hemisphere, immediately followed by a close conjunction of Jupiter and Venus—the two planets that have played a central role in this entire cosmic story, representing Christ and His Church.  For those in the United States, the eclipse will be visible Sunday evening, January 20th, but anyone east will see it in the very early morning of January 21st.  The Jupiter-Venus conjunction will be visible on Tuesday, January 22nd.

Everyone in North and South America, Europe, and West Africa will be able to witness the entirety of the total phase of the eclipse.  Intriguingly, Israel misses the total eclipse phase by mere miles.  So this blood moon, passing over our heads, is apparently intended for the Gentiles. [unsealed.org Another Sign in the Heavens excerpt]

In the same article, Gary wrote about the January 22, 2019, Jupiter-Venus conjunction:

Addendum: A Church-Snatching Conjunction

After watching an intriguing video from Ty Green about the upcoming Jupiter-Venus conjunction, I thought it worthwhile to share with you that this conjunction paints a pretty compelling picture of the rapture. [unsealed.org Another Sign in the Heavens excerpt]

. . . But remember, these are signs of the nearness of events, not necessarily the events themselves.

We have seen in the past that signs in the heavens have come but the event associated with the sign did not yet happen. I am hoping, however, that just as signs on the roadside become more frequent and closer together as one nears their destination, perhaps this definite sign of the Resurrection/Rapture will reach its fulfillment no later than this year of 2019—specifically, no later than May 14—Israel’s Anniversary date.

Israel’s 70 Year Inspection

Darren Jack of Clearlywrittendotnet does the math related to the January 22 Venus-Jupiter conjunction. Starting at around the 4-minute mark of his Part 2 blood moon video, he uses the Golden Phi Ratio and charts his conjecture that May 14, 2019, is the “deadline” for the Rapture and that the trail of signs ends on that date!

I place that word “deadline” in quotation marks because in my way of thinking the end of Israel’s 70^th year as a nation would pinpoint THE END OF THE AGE OF GRACE and THE BEGINNING OF JACOB’S TROUBLE.

BUT could I be wrong? Absolutely! But the evidence stacks up in favor of this opinion.

Brother Darren points out in the same video using The Joshua Parallel Chart that God inspects Israel after 70 years! We see this in the Old Testament:

For thus said Jehovah, Surely at the fulness of Babylon -- seventy years -- I inspect you, and have established towards you My good word, to bring you back unto this place. Jeremiah 29:10 Young's Literal Translation

Moon in #44 Beehive

The Moon is said to symbolize The Virgin Bride. On January 21, 2019, the moon will be in the Beehive Cluster of stars which in ancient times symbolized a “place of safety; sheepfold” according to Darren’s Part 2 video. Not only that, but this star cluster is referred to as the 44^th one.

On Christmas Day Many Fish was led (in only a way he and God understands sometimes 😊) to look up 44 (number) in Wikipedia and also noticed the Beehive Star Cluster!

The number 4 has much significance related to Christ’s Appearing and His Second Coming:

In the Apocalypse the same four cherubim are called Swa,
 "the living creatures" (Rev 4). These announce the Coming One; these sing of creation and of Him who created all things, and for whose pleasure they were created (Rev 4:11). Whenever they speak it is in connection with the earth. These call forth and announce the judgments or plagues (Rev 6) which issue on the ejection of the Usurper from the earth, and the destruction of them which destroy the earth, and in the exaltation and enthronement of Him when all the kingdoms of the world become the kingdom of our Lord and His anointed, and when the LORD God omnipotent reigneth. E. W. Bullinger

444 Destruction of Damascus

Darren came out with more amazing connections related to the number “4” in his Part 3 video: Blood Moon 1/20 URGENT update 1/12 MUST watch!  At around the 21-minute mark, he tells us the number 444 relates to Isaiah 17 and the destruction of Damascus. (In his January 13, 2019, MidEast Prophecy Update J. D. Farag stated that his Rapture Deadline is the day Isaiah 17:1 occurs.)

Earlier in the Part 3 video Darren explains the significance of June 7, 2016.

One of the most significant prophetic events was June 7, 1967 when Israel recaptured the Temple Mount.  When Israel began as a nation in 1948, it suffered a war that left the old city of Jerusalem severely damaged. In 1967 Israel gained control and it was not until April 1, 1969 (Passover) that the Israeli Government formed the Jewish Quarter Development Company [fulfilling the decree to rebuild Jerusalem]. watchfortheday.org

So June 7, 2016, is the 49^th Anniversary of when the Jews recaptured the Temple Mount. If you were to add 444 days to that date, you would come to the time that Hurricane Harvey hit the U.S. with its series of symbolic 4's:

Hurricane Harvey’s Sign of “4”:

--On August 25, 2017 (4 days after the Great American Solar  Eclipse of August 21) Harvey blew into Texas as a

--Category 4

--Hitting the 4^th largest U.S. city with

--4 feet of water over a

--4-day period

William Koenig is known for tracking America’s “land for peace” dealings with Israel and the resulting natural disasters. His World Watch Daily article shows a direct link with Kushner’s and Greenblatt’s major push for Middle East peace the week Hurricane Harvey headed towards Texas.

222 into Israel’s 70th

In Part 1 of the Clearlywrittendotnet Blood Moon series (at ~11 minutes) Darren Jack shows that he and Many Fish were again likeminded when it came to the significance of the number 222 as related to Israel’s 70^th year! Pointing to the Indonesian tsunami on the 22^nd day of December with its death toll of 222 both Brothers in Christ (using different methods) come up with its connection to May 14—Israel’s Anniversary!! (Looking again at Many Fish’s video, I notice that it is 4:44 minutes long!)

Gary of Unsealed set out other plausible deadlines in his 2018 Year in Review, yet I am depending on how closely Israel and Jerusalem are associated with 70 years.

Seventy has a sacred meaning in the Bible that is made up of the factors of two perfect numbers, seven (representing perfection) and ten (representing completeness and God's law). As such, it symbolizes perfect spiritual order carried out with all power. It can also represent a period of judgment.

Ancient Israel spent a total number of 70 years in captivity in Babylon (Jeremiah 29:10). Seventy is also specially connected with Jerusalem. The city kept 70 years of Sabbaths while Judah was in Babylonian captivity (Jeremiah 25:11). Seventy sevens (490 years) were determined upon Jerusalem for it to complete its transgressions, to make an end for sins and for everlasting righteousness to enter into it (Daniel 9:24). [Information taken from Number in Scripture]

So we see, as Darren Jack pointed out, that Israel is soon up for inspection by God Almighty when He will save them from their obstinance in not accepting Yahshua Ha Moshiach, Jesus the Messiah (Micah 5:2-4; also read Prepare to Meet Your Maker).

Wars, Famine, Plagues, Earthquakes

I could easily end my article with the mathematical countdown given above but want to give you more evidence of how near we are to the end of the age.

We are seeing an even greater build-up leading to the grand convergence of wars, famine, earthquakes and plagues Jesus spoke of:

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

All these [are] the beginning of sorrows. - Matthew 24:6-8 KJV

There is overwhelming scientific and statistical evidence for the converging of events and signs leading to the start of the period of time called Jacob’s Trouble or The Tribulation.

Just recently, a locust plague broke out in Mecca, the holiest site in Islam. Interestingly, “The motif of locust swarms as a form of divine punishment features in all the Abrahamic traditions, which include Judaism, Christianity and Islam” (source: Newsweek).

Thanos. This past weekend I sat down with my family to watch Avengers: Infinity War featuring Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk and the rest of the Avengers battling their most powerful enemy yet -- the evil Thanos. I am not really a superhero movie fan but for prophetic reasons I am glad I watched this one for it illustrated the convergence of global disaster that is coming, albeit, a false illustration.

Gonz of Face Like the Sun YT Channel wrote an excellent article that explains the complex character named Thanos and how this movie was meant not only to distract but to also indoctrinate the masses into the old Sumerian pantheon and mocking of Yahweh. I highly recommend you read it. Here is an excerpt:

[WARNING! SPOILER ALERT!!]

The Rapture Event

The film ends with half of the population of the universe fading away into dust (Gen. 3:19, Ps. 104:29). Not only is the "dust to dust" at play here, but the event is depicted similarly to how the rapture event has been interpreted. While there is an in house debate about the timing of the rapture, some have argued that a rapture doesn't exist at all in the bible. Let me refute that quickly by stating that in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, the word for "caught up" in the Greek is Harpazo, which translated into Latin, became Rapturo, which became the English, Rapture. So yes, there is a rapture in the Bible. But the harvest is one where God saves and protects. In the case of Thanos, the saving and protecting are for the ones left behind, not the ones taken. Face Like the Sun

Thanatos and Therion. Because the name Thanos is so close to Thanatos, the name of the Pale Rider (or 4^th horseman of Revelation 6:7-8), it reminded me of Sharon K. Gilbert’s The Pale Rider series in the SkywatchTV Magazine which we receive via snail mail:

Something is brewing out there. Mutating. Recombining. . . And it will be deadlier than anything yet seen upon the earth. Zika. Avian Influenza. Marburg. Ebola. Smallpox. Will it be one of these or an unknown chimera virus. . . a ‘therion’ creature that accompanies the Pale Rider Thanatos? [Excerpt from Part 1, January 2018 Vol 3 No 1]

I thought it poignant that Sharon wrote in her most recent article about the 100^th anniversary of the deadly Spanish Flu (H1N1) and about the Ebola outbreak in the Congo in May 2018. She wrote:

Therion has the power to stop the world.

What is therion? . . .Let’s look again at Revelation 6:8:

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death [thanatos], and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts [therion] of the earth. - Revelation 6:8 KJV

. . . The precise meaning [of therion] is multi-level and rich. Literally, therion is a diminutive of thera (beast) and therefore means ‘little beasts’. . . However, in the context of Thanatos’s arsenal, it may be more accurately portrayed as infectious diseases—perhaps, a legion of plagues that act as one unit to infect entire populations and eventually slay one fourth of mankind.

. . . Ebola is not the only ‘little beast’ circulating around the globe. . . [There are] diseases currently ‘plaguing’ those vulnerable populations in areas that receive very little attention on social media. . . [She then gives a long list of diseases that are active TODAY and writes that her list is hardly exhaustive.] . . . It is, in fact, a brief introduction to a vast army of outbreaks that march through our populations. . .During the Spanish flu outbreak one hundred years ago, H1N1. . . had the power to murder its victim in less than a day.

[Excerpt taken from Part VII of December 2018 Vol 3 No 12. Words in brackets added by me.]

Earlier I mentioned that the 4 cherubim call forth and announce the judgments or plagues (Rev 6). I do not believe the Seals of Revelation 6 have been opened yet, but world events show we are on the verge of it happening.

Beginning of Labor Pains

In answer to the disciples’ questions regarding His Second Coming and the end of the aiōn (age), Jesus called it ‘the beginning of sorrows’ in Matthew 24:8.

All these are the beginning of sorrows: Though none of those events are the specific sign of the end of the age, collectively they are a sign. When Jesus described these calamities as the beginning of sorrows He literally called them the beginning of labor pains. Just as is true with labor pains, we should expect that the things mentioned - wars, famines, earthquakes, and so on - would become more frequent and more intense before the return of Jesus - without any one of them being the specific sign of the end. BLB David Guzik Commentary

Brethren, be encouraged for the birth of the Overcoming Man Child, or part 2 of Micah 5:3, surely cannot be far away—

Therefore will he give them up, until the time [that] she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. - Micah 5:3 KJV

“All of creation is groaning. . .” and the groanings are increasing in preparation for the great shaking or Tribulation which will culminate in “THE BIRTH”. My point is—the “baby” is coming and there is nothing that is going to stop it from coming. Braxton-Hicks contractions do not go away but then develop into true labor pains—“as travail upon a woman with child” (1 Thessalonians 5:3). [I Asked the Lord When is the Rapture excerpt]

So those of you who know who your Lord is and are excitedly watching for His appearing, have no fear! Things may get kinda rocky in the world but NOTHING can stop the holy labor process—soon the great PUSH will be upon us!!!
