2017 the Year of the Rapture? Part 2 of Is the September 23 Event the Revelation 12 Sign?

Starting about two years ago, the great desire to understand where we were in God’s timeline became almost an obsession with me. (I cannot help but think about how the wise men’s journey was of similar length.) I was the wedding planner for my daughter’s wedding then and the whole time I was scheduling, shopping, mailing, etc. always in the forefront of my mind was the possibility that OUR HEAVENLY WEDDING was imminent.

Back in 2015 I was introduced to Youtube when my husband showed me it was a great source for alternative news channels. I believe it was by the Holy Spirit that I was led from one Youtube Channel to the next as related to signs occurring in the heavens. Not that each video was 100 percent Scripture-based, but all pointed to the fact that God was up to SOMETHING. And that SOMETHING I had to find out. So, of course, when Youtuber Scott Clarke began sharing about a celestial convergence he thought could be the Revelation 12 sign, I had to investigate!

According to planetarium software programs like Stellarium, what is being referred to as the September 23 event could very well be the sign referred to in Revelation 12:1-2.

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. - Revelation 12:1-2 KJV

SIGN #3—‘Most Probable’ Revelation 12:1-2 Sign—

When the first sliver of the crescent moon appears to the naked eye this coming September…it announces the beginning of the Hebrew New Year—Rosh Hashanah—an event that will occur this year on September 21 when the Hebrew Year 5777 will become 5778. This holiday, also known as Yom Teruah or the Feast of Trumpets, is celebrated for two days and will be concluded on September 23, 2017—the same day the celestial event being called the Revelation 12 Sign is to occur. I use the phrase ‘most probable’ in my subtitle because humans are fallible, yet all the evidence is pointing to it being the actual date of the Revelation 12 Sign. The Four Heavenly Signs of 2017

Three separate studies have shown that the September 23rd alignment is a once-in-human-history event. unsealed.org

Just as the Bethlehem Star in 3 B.C., along with the accompanying constellations, were the sign of the Messiah’s first coming, the Revelation 12 wonders will also be signs of a major prophecy unfolding!

The Dragon vs. the Man Child

As I wrote in Part 1, the man child of Revelation 12 is most likely referring to the Church Body who are caught up in Revelation 12:5. Since Satan is thwarted in his plans to stop the rapture of God’s saints, he attacks those who come to believe on Jesus Christ as Messiah during the time when—sadly—all hell breaks loose.

And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. - Revelation 12:17 KJV

Could it be that the born-again believers in Y’shua Ha Moshiach, our Jesus, take the place of the angels who fell with Satan and that we are taken to heaven at the time of Revelation 12?

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

In verse 4 Satan as the Great Red Dragon sweeps one-third of the stars with his tail (which represents fallen angels) and casts them to earth. In the very next verse the Child is “caught up unto God and his throne”. If the true Church is raptured at this time, then the Dragon and his horde will be positioned to try to devour us!

Daniel Valles of Informed Christians shows via Stellarium that the constellation Draco is in such a position on September 23 this year in his video Revelation 12 Dragon Tail Time [FYI: Daniel teaches that the Church will be raptured before September 23 because he believes “sudden destruction” will begin on that date and that the Church is not going to experience that. He may or may not be correct—I believe the Scripture teaches the true Church is not appointed to wrath, so whenever that begins we will not be on earth.]

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

 

Vision of OUR LAST DAY

Bob Barber of the End Time Dream and Vision Youtube Channel shared a vision the Lord gave him one night in his recent video titled MY VISION! OUR LAST DAY! DRAGON ARRIVES WE DEPART!

As Bob points out, notice that the Great Red Dragon is cast down BEFORE the Man Child is born! His vision may very well be “how it goes down” with a nuclear strike happening, so-called ‘alien’ spacecraft appearing, Nibiru showing up in the sky, and then the true Church getting raptured.

Many other brethren have had dreams related to our rapture occurring at the same time as a nuclear strike. As I have shared before, the great end time delusion (2 Thessalonians 2:8-11) will be Satan’s army of fallen angels and Nephilim portraying themselves as superior beings from another planet or dimension. (To understand more on this subject, go here.)

Will our rapture occur on Day 1 just as Jacob’s Trouble begins?

What about Nibiru?

Sign to be Seen with the Naked Eye? There are those who surmise that although the Revelation 12 Sign is to occur in the daytime over Jerusalem (making it not possible to be seen with the naked eye), it will be seen due to an eclipse darkening the sun and allowing the stars to be seen. Is it possible that Nibiru or Planet X will cause an eclipse on the same day the Revelation 12 Sign occurs? The Four Heavenly Signs of 2017

The planetary system that contains Nibiru, also referred to as Planet X and other names, is a scientific reality. (For more information go to The Four Heavenly Signs of 2017.)

Brazilian Senator Telmario Moto revealed the coming dangers of Nibiru in an open session of the Brazilian Parliament on May 25, 2017. (Watch the 5 minute video: Planet X News. For a translation into English go to End of The World: Brazilian senator claims Nasa told him Planet X WILL crash into Earth.)

Just yesterday Steve Olson of the WSO Youtube Channel posted a video with evidence that Nibiru can now be seen from earth with the naked eye--Planet Seen with Naked Eye in Germany!

THE Tribulation Begins September 2017?

If indeed the Revelation 12 signs occur on September 23, this would be during a moed or appointed meeting time—specifically, The Feast of Trumpets.

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 [moed or moad—feasts; appointed meetings--BLB], and for days, and years: - Genesis 1:14 KJV

There are those who teach that the Rapture will occur on the Feast of Trumpets and that “The Time of Jacob’s Trouble” will follow at its heels. Like many others, I used to think Revelation 12 was a mid-Tribulation event but perhaps it is how and when The Tribulation begins!

I appreciate the insight given by unsealed.org who writes "... the entire chapter, which occurs right in the middle of the book, is an interlude and broad overview of the entire Tribulation, describing all of the key events except for the Second Coming of Christ".

"Revelation 12 appears to describe the Tribulation in chronological order, except for verse 6:

Revelation 12:1-5: The rapture of the Church.

Revelation 12:7-12: The future war in Heaven that occurs simultaneously with the rapture or very shortly after.  The accuser and his accusing angels are cast out of Heaven as the Church gains entrance into Heaven.  You might call this the Cosmic Shift: the Church goes up and the devil comes down.  Satan and his angels are then confined to earth.

Revelation 12:13: The persecution of the Jewish remnant on earth during the first half of the Tribulation.

Revelation 12:14-16, 6: The Jewish remnant's protection and provision while the remaining three and one-half years of the Tribulation comes to a conclusion.

Revelation 12:17: Recognizing that the Jewish remnant is then untouchable, satan turns his attention towards the remaining Gentile Tribulation Saints."

To me all the current world events tied in with the signs in the heavens point to the end of the Church Age (The Coming Convergence). However you look at Revelation 12, it is a win-win situation for the Body of Christ!

Although most Christians are not bloodline descendants of Jacob/Israel, all were grafted into God’s family (Romans 11:17) by way of Jesus Christ, our Kinsman Redeemer. Could the rapture of the Church Bride be this year of 2017 The Final Jubilee? As compelling as the evidence is, we cannot know with certainty that our Heavenly Bridegroom is going to catch us up to heaven this year, but if September 23 comes and goes and I am still on the planet, I will continue looking for Him “through a glass darkly”. 

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.
