Our Last Day--Behold, a Great Red Dragon!



Remember all the hubbub surrounding the Revelation 12 Sign of the Woman back in 2017? A Brother in Christ recently wrote an article reminding us that this sign continues to speak to us prophetically. Because I had already begun writing this article, this section he wrote especially caught my eye:

The Revelation 12 Sign first gets its legitimacy, astronomically from Genesis 17 in how it was Jacob that had the vision given by YHVH of how he was as the ‘Virgo’ in that the 12 Stars were his brothers bowing down to him and how the Sun and the Moon, depicting his father and mother also.

This sets that stage for a legitimate Biblical direct correlation that suggests Virgo is indeed Israel or Jacob and how there will truly be a ‘Time of Jacob’s Trouble’ to come. . . For this researcher, the Revelation 12 Sign began around 2008 when investigating the ‘Google Cover-up’ of the blocked-out patch of space in the constellation of Virgo

Various charts and articles were subsequently published to this affect and many videos were made of it. This apparent depiction of a ‘Red Dragon’ in Virgo seemed to suggest the Revelation 12 Sign, as it had such components. The Red Dragon anomaly was only able to be seen in the infrared spectrum, etc. Then later on, other ‘piece of the puzzle’ came into focus as it was studied to later see the patterns of the moon cycles and Blood Moons that occurred near it. [excerpt of Article by Luis B. Vega at postscripts.org Emphasis mine.]

Revelation 12 Sign Composite
The Revelation 12 Sign Lu refers to above occurred September 23, 2017, when “the great wonder in heaven” of Revelation 12:1-2 was fulfilled:

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

The text itself does not describe the sign as a parable or illustration, which validates the view that this passage is in fact describing a real astronomical event visible to the inhabitants of the earth - complete with real sun, moon, and stars.

. . . On September 22nd and 23rd the visible planets Mercury, Mars, and Venus will join Leo's nine stars to form a "crown" of twelve stars on the head of Virgo. Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, is said to represent the male child that the woman is giving birth to. [excerpt from a 2017 article by unsealed.org/rev12signcompendium]

Just as Revelation 12:1-2 foretold the heavenly configuration that would form the Great Sign of the Woman, so too, in my opinion, does Revelation 12:3 describe a definite astronomical event involving the forthcoming Second Wonder or Great Red Dragon Sign:

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

What planets and stars will form this Great Red Dragon Sign? I have not studied star charts extensively like some of the Brethren have done but simply believe that:

1) Our skies are definitely being geoengineered to conceal something.

2) “They” know something is coming.

3) The Holy Bible tells us something is coming from the heavens.

NORMAL CONTRAIL PHOTOGRAPHS Santa Fe, NM June 1999 Provided for Control Purposes This contrail sequence of four photos was taken over a 30 second interval. Notice the dissipation of the trail within approximately a 30 second interval. The camera was held stationary on the contrail after the plane passed. Notice that none of the trails are coming directly from the tail of the airplane. Image source from carnicominstitute.org.

1) Geoengineered Cloud Coverage

Artificial Clouds and Geoengineering: Public Exposed to Toxic Chemicals is an article posted at healthimpactnews.com that gives clear evidence of what many of us already know—those clouds we are seeing now are not normal but are the result of chemtrails!

Even liberal Californians know this to be true:

Facebook made a believer out of Tammi. When she moved to Lincoln in 2012, she’d never heard of chemtrails. Three years later, around the time her mare gave birth to twin mules, a post about a Facebook group called Sierra Nevada Geoengineering Awareness popped up in her newsfeed. Thinking it was related to agriculture, she joined the group.
The group’s 500 members post constantly about “aerosol attacks”, “toxic silver skies”, “mad men playing god with our weather, blocking our life-giving sun”.
The movement’s mantra is “LOOK UP”. Tammi obeyed. “I started looking up at the sky, noticing it was just crisscrossed.” When she told Rob about her discovery, he was convinced. [theguardian.com excerpt]

So what are they covering up? I believe it is the coming Great Red Dragon.

More from Lu Vega’s article:

Thereafter, back to the Red Dragon anomaly in the Google Cover-Up phenomena. It was identified that the major Stars in that quadrant happen to have the numerical designation of 666 to them. This was clearly another clue that the association with the Red Dragon was none other than that of the ‘Beast’ of Revelation 12. It is a typology of Lucifer. . .

Many of the events foretold in the Book of Revelation will unfold as spiritual AND physical manifestations. I speculate the physical manifestation of the Dragon will be Planet X (or Nibiru) and its orbiting system which have been described as a dwarf star with seven orbiting bodies.

To read more go to nasa.gov.

NASA is giving soft disclosure of this incoming planetary disaster by, I believe, referring to it as the Trappist-1 System:

At about 40 light-years (235 trillion miles) from Earth, the system of planets is relatively close to us, in the constellation Aquarius. Because they are located outside of our solar system, these planets are scientifically known as exoplanets.
The TRAPPIST-1 star, an ultra-cool dwarf, has seven Earth-size planets orbiting it. nasa.gov

            [Excerpt from The Four Heavenly Signs of 2017]

NASA, of course, is not fully disclosing what it knows. They announced the discovery of Planet X/Nibiru back in 1983 but then went silent about it after the press got a hold of the story. [NASA's Planet 9 Announcement
excerpt]

The Washington Post December 1983

Youtubers Jeff P and Steve Olson of WSO have been recording evidence of this system for years. Back in 2017 I shared this:

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.

More recently, The Final Days Youtube Channel shared astonishing still photos in her February 17, 2019, video. She has done several excellent informative videos on the incoming Planet X System.

Ancient history, astronomy, folklore and prophecy record many names for Planet X. The Sumerians called it…”Nibiru” (translation: planet of passing)…The Greeks called it…”Nemesis”…To the ancient Chinese it was known as “Gung-gung”, “the Great Black” or “Red Dragon”. 21st Century Practical Spiritual Metaphysics Guide Book

Where is the Dragon? Has it appeared yet or not?

2) “They” know something is coming.

The world governments are cognizant of the impending sudden destruction that is coming upon the Earth by way of an incoming planetary system but refuse to inform the public for obvious reasons.  In this videoJohn R. Moore, a former member of the Green Berets, shares intelligence he received in his pursuit to know the truth about this system referred to as 'Nibiru' (among other names). [Excerpt from Don't Say I Didn't Warn You!]

3) The Bible Tells Me So

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.
And his tail drew the third part of the stars [aster] 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.

The large red body of Nibiru with its long tail dragging dust and meteors is expected to cause an eclipse of the sun and the moon and bring asteroids that will cause a great meteor shower (note the word “stars” in Revelation 12 is translated from aster a Greek word from which we get 'asteroid'). It is likely what will slingshot Wormwood to earth as prophesied in Revelation 8:10-11 (again the word “star” is translated from aster). Some believe we are already seeing the effects of the nearness of Planet X such as the increase in earthquakes.

Scripture foretells many end time events that are most likely caused due to BOTH spiritual and physical reasons. Angelic activity in the spirit realm as well as physical repercussions of the incoming Planet X System will result in the most catastrophic events man has ever witnessed such as:

The earth is broken completely apart, the earth is split apart, the earth is shaken violently. The earth reels back and forth like a drunkard, and sways like a shack … (Isa 24.19,20)

It is my belief that the Revelation Chapter 2 and 3 overcomers are represented by the man child that is caught up to God BEFORE the Dragon devours him. So if the Nibiru system with its fiery red dwarf star and seven planets orbiting it is the Great Red Dragon of Revelation 12, we need not fear:

Jesus Himself describes who the overcoming ones are in the seven letters to the churches in the Book of Revelation’s first three chapters. While studying this, I saw the direct correlation between the overcomers and the man child of Revelation 12:5. [Excerpt from The Ark of Escape]

Our Last Day

I believe that Nibiru will be responsible for much of the “sudden destruction” of 1 Thessalonians 5:3:

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. - 1 Thessalonians 5:3 KJV

I also think the day of “sudden destruction” will be simultaneous with the Resurrection/Rapture of the Man Child/Overcoming Church. “They shall not escape”, but WE—the Man Child—will escape!


The scenario that comes into my mind for the Overcomers’ Last Day on Earth is this:

Assuming that Planet X is the heavenly representation of the Great Red Dragon, we (the Man Child/Overcomers) will be on earth when the elite’s technological concealment system breaks down due to the nearness of Nibiru and will see the great rogue red dwarf just prior to meeting the Lord in the air so that we will not suffer its disastrous effects. This was specifically shown to some of the brethren, such as Bob Barber. Bob shares in his video  MY VISION! OUR LAST DAY!DRAGON ARRIVES! WE DEPART! a series of events that include him seeing a comet that he mistook for Planet X, UFOs, and nuclear war breaking out on the day of the Rapture.

Bob explains that these UFOs are demonic entities masquerading as aliens. (It is noteworthy that UFO appearances are associated with nuclear activity. CNN posted a video reporting former U.S. Air Force personnel who claimed they experienced UFO activity near nuclear sites at which they worked.)

Revelation 12:3-5 tells of the coming displacement of Satan and his horde. This will be a major part of a great deception (2 Thessalonians 2:7-11) since these fallen angels will masquerade as supposed friendly alien ancestors or superior beings.

This may occur almost simultaneously with the birth of the man child (i.e., the rapture of the Overcomers). As Lucifer’s angels fall. . .

And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth

. . . the transformed sons of God will be raptured or harpazo-ed to Heaven:

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

WikiLeaks

Only recently did I find out that WikiLeaks made public emails that describe the "sudden destruction" associated with Nibiru. (See video Planet X Nibiru Wikileak Emails and Photos)

Subject: TELL HILLARY SHE IS WRONG ON CLIMATE CHANGE

...Nibiru was first spotted remotely by USA astronomers in 1983 and reported at that time in the Washington Post --- but since has been subject to a governmental coverup. It is currently hidden in the Sun's glare, but distant photo images have been provided on the website and the internet. As it passes closer to Earth with its long tail of moons and asteroids, likely within the next 24-or-so months, the aliens’ website predicts it will cause a drastic Earth pole shift of about ninety degrees, due to its magnetic strength. This would result per the website in more Earth wobble, then violent mega-earthquakes, super-hurricane winds, worldwide volcanic eruptions, and oceanic sloshing with gigantic tidal waves inundating most low-lying coastal areas and cities, e.g., Netherlands, Denmark, Bangladesh, Singapore, Hong Kong, NYC, LA, Miami. Food, water, electricity, and gasoline distribution would collapse resulting in massive relocations, rampant crime, riots and starvation...
Wikileaks.org

This description of Nibiru's effect on the Earth reminded me of what the Spirit showed me back in September 2016--The Sea Roaring--how we will see tsunamis just before or simultaneously with the Rapture. I now suspect that these tidal waves will be caused by large meteors or asteroids being dragged by Nibiru falling to Earth.

This sudden destruction is part of the wrath of God so those who are "in Christ" need not fear for He has promised that we are not appointed to wrath. [Time to Save With Fear excerpt]

Saved from Wrath

“LOOK UP!”

Earlier in this article I mentioned that the Sierra Nevada Geoengineering Awareness group’s mantra is “LOOK UP!”, but I say to you—

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
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. - Luke 21:28 KJV



Domino Effect



6/29/19 Update:

Recently I watched a 5-minute video by Elizabeth Marie of LatterRain333 YTC. The title sums it up nicely: PROPHETIC MESSAGE: Fireballs & the RAPTURE! I wanted to share it within this article because a meteor shower (meteors are also referred to as “fireballs”) is associated with the catching away of the Man Child of Revelation 12:5 and, in my opinion, will be caused by Nibiru’s passing near the Earth. In May she received a dream and then a month or so later received a message that referred to the dream:

In May of 2019, I received a flash dream. In this dream, I was looking out, over what seemed to be a prairie of flat land. It was very dark in the sky with no stars or moon. I then saw what seemed to be thousands of fireballs coming from above onto the land. It looked like streaks of fire with long tails and could have possibly been meteorites. It reminded me of the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. End of Dream

June 27, 2019 MESSAGE: There will be a main event that will have a domino effect. Once this happens, quickly get yourselves ready ....for the dam of disasters will break loose. These are part of MY wake-up judgments that I will allow.

However, please know that when the fireballs start to fall, MY people will [be] coming up to greet ME..... JUST LIKE IN THE DAYS OF LOT! [lifelineletters excerpt of video transcript]

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all. - Luke 17:28-29 KJV

Elizabeth’s message jogged my memory of a couple of prophetic dreams my daughter Rachel had back in 2011:

One of them was simply that she was at home looking out a window. The house was full of people we were helping. Suddenly a fireball came down, passed through the window and then through her, but did not harm her or anyone else. She also had a dream where she saw piles of debris on fire scattered around homes in a neighborhood.

Again, I looked on-line and found there were postings of other people who had had similar dreams or visions (fireball dreams). I did not watch all of them, but one thing they had in common was that THEY WERE NOT HARMED BY THE FIREBALLS. [Whose Afraid of a Big Bad Fireball? excerpt]

Putting their dreams and messages together with my understanding leads me to surmise just how quickly the events of our last day will go! Both Tim Henderson and Elizabeth Marie refer to a “domino effect”. Could all the dominoes fall in one literal hour?

Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. - Revelation 18:10 KJV

Todd and James Smith think as I do that America must fall in order for the New World Order to rise. I believe America’s demise will come quickly and SUDDENLY on the heels of an approved peace plan. James Smith’s wonderful video in which he harmonizes the Scriptures related to "The Sea and the Waves Roaring" shows there is a great convergence of destruction that includes America on the Day the Lord comes for us! [From Prepare to Meet Your Maker]

In my article The dropping of HIS shoe--2 Visions? I shared how the Lord gave me two visions moments apart from each other indicating that America would experience a GREAT SHAKING in the form of a national disaster as we TRANSITION from the Church Age of Grace into The Tribulation.

Much like a woman in labor, this time of great shaking will be sorrowful, disconcerting, and challenging.  Its purpose? To force the sleeping Laodicean church to wake up abruptly and lead as many as are willing into the Lordship of Jesus Christ in their life!

This national disaster would mercifully give rise to a very brief revival just prior to the Resurrection/Rapture of the Overcoming Church.

. . . As I meditated on the first vision God gave me this morning, He gave me another. It seemed it was only a few minutes later when I saw His mighty hand again. This time His palm was holding a golden tabernacle with its doorway draped open, but He quickly closed His hand around it and pulled it upward reminding me of these verses in Isaiah:

Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. -Isaiah 26:20-21 KJV

The small amount of time between the two visions led me to conclude the revival period would be very brief, but could the Lord be showing us this revival or awakening will be less than an hour or only minutes long? After all, dominoes fall rather quickly once the chain effect begins!

8/14/19 Update:

On 8/12/19 Jeffrey McGaha posted a 7 minutes and 17 seconds long video about how the approaching Revelation 12:3-5 celestial Dragon system has been here before and gives Biblical evidence that It's Coming Back Again.

Bethlehem Star--Sign of the Son of Man?

 

This weekend there will be wondrous prophetic conjunctions. Per almanac.com:

CONJUNCTION OF THE FULL MOON AND JUPITER ON JUNE 16

On the night of June 15, Giant Planet will dangle just below the waxing gibbous Moon. 

Then on Sunday, June 16Father’s Day—bright Jupiter and the Moon meet. What a pair.

Look for the Giant Planet floating just above the Full Strawberry Moon. The Moon and Jupiter will shine bright all night long!

(The Moon will look full on June 16 and June 17 in North America; technically, it crests in the very early hours of the 17th.)

Look for the Moon and king planet Jupiter to light up the nighttime from dusk until dawn!

skyandtelescope.com
CONJUNCTION OF MERCURY AND MARS ON JUNE 18

Then, on the next night, turn your attention back to the western evening sky.
Watch for a fabulous conjunction between orange Mercury and Mars on June 18. 
The two will be extremely close together in the evening sky on the 18th. But also they’ll look tight and nice between the 17 and 19.

You won’t confuse them because Mercury is much brighter than Mars.

CONJUNCTION OF THE MOON AND SATURN ON JUNE 18

One more? This conjunction is the only one that requires you to go out at midnight. The date is Tuesday, June 18. Yes, the same night that the fabulous Mars/Mercury conjunction happened earlier, in the fading dusk. This midnight conjunction is between the Moon and Saturn.

Wow. All the bright planets except for Venus, performing conjunctions with the Moon or each other. [Excerpt from almanac.com]

This was first brought to my attention by a Brother in Christ, Jeová, who shared the information on Rev12Daily.blogspot.com and gave its symbolic meaning:


JUPITER, the “King Planet,” will be closer to Earth than at any other time of year during the month of June. . .
In addition to Jupiter being at its closest distance to Earth, it will appear to meet up with the Full Moon on June 16. Using the Starry Night astronomical program with the viewing location set to Jerusalem, one can see the Moon approach and seemingly touch the King Planet in the Constellation Ophiuchus, the “serpent holder,” or “restrainer,” as darkness settles in around 9:00 pm Sunday evening.

While no one knows the day of the Lord’s return, this heavenly sign is a reminder that the Church in its fullness, symbolized by the full moon, will one day meet her King-Bridegroom in the heavens. With the force that restrains the serpent, the Holy Spirit, removed from earth, the human embodiment of evil Scripture calls the “man of sin” will emerge to take his place on the prophetic stage (2 Thess. 2)
. [Excerpt from Rev12Daily.blogspot.com]


The next full Moon will be on Monday morning, June 17, 2019, appearing "opposite" the Sun (in Earth-based longitude) at 4:31 AM EDT. The Moon will appear full for about three days around this time, from Saturday night through Tuesday morning. solarsystem.nasa.gov

Strawberry Moon

The full moon in June is nicknamed The Strawberry Moon (among other designations).

On June 13 I watched Mark Ekawamai's newest video FINAL HOUR 406 - LAST DAYS DREAMS AND WARNINGS - WATCHMAN SOUNDING THE ALARM wherein he has a clip from Crazy bout Jesus Ya'll YTC where she shares her dream of the Rapture happening during the Strawberry Moon.



Bethlehem Star

Then today I truly believe it was the Holy Spirit that led me to the Youtube Channel of our Sister in Christ Genevieve Brazel. She had posted The Bethlehem Star and the June 17 Connection only minutes ago!

Genevieve does not set a date for the Rapture but shares connections she made with Gigi’s video UNBELIEVABLE (blue heaven YTC) and a picture Genevieve’s daughter drew a while back. In UNBELIEVABLE  Gigi noted, among other things, that June 17 is the anniversary of the first Star of Bethlehem. The drawing Genevieve’s daughter had made pictured her mother above the Bethlehem Star and said it was because the Rapture would occur at its appearing.



This caused Genevieve to wonder whether the Bethlehem Star was the Sign of the Son of man. I have made conjectures as to what could be the Sign of the Son of man as well. Related articles:


My understanding now is that Jesus Christ HIMSELF IS the Sign of the Son of man! It may very well be that He appears as a brilliant supernova in the heavenlies which I believe was shown to me in a Rapture-related dream. Originally, I had thought the Lord had shown me 3 planets in this dream, but I now understand it was 3 super moons. I believe that in my dream I saw Jesus coming for His prize after the third super moon:

. . . I then saw a brilliant white light like a huge star, appear overhead. "It's time! He's here!" I shouted with sheer delight as a feeling of exhilaration filled my being and I jumped into the air in anticipation but was not yet taken up and then the dream ended. 3 Planets Dream and Reality

The last Super Moon was the January 2019 Super Blue Blood Moon (related article: Rapture Before the Blood Moon?).


Full Moon Rapture?


For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey;
he took a bag of money with him; at full moon he will come home.” Proverbs 7:19-20 English Standard Version

Genevieve also said the Spirit of Christ revealed to her that the Bride would be raptured during a full moon. This reminded me of a Comment left at my article The Last Heavenly Sign Before the Rapture?:

Mike Young said...

Lyn: Thanks for your wonderful research, vision and timely words from the Lord!

I just wanted to share a parallel vision back in 2008 or 2009 the Lord gave me. I was lying on my bed almost awake and yet not asleep. In the open vision i was standing on the horizon of the earth with Him- Yashua.. The moon was so big and full and you could feel the magnetic pull of the closeness of it to earth and myself. You could see the details of every crater and mountain. But also i could see the stars and galaxy in full technicolor.

I had to keep looking at Yeshua frequently as He held my hand and kept me from passing out from sheer joy amazement and just realizing how amazing yet how real it all seemed. I will not ever forget it. I had been a watchmen then, but a very lukewarm one.

After that vision I realized that Yeshua was telling me that He was coming back sooner than I thought and that when I saw the moon so very close to the earth would be the time when He would return for His Bride...thus the lukewarm watchmen became more of what the Lord has asked me to be. A new an awakening to me since my previous 46 years of being a Christian and a pastor.

Shalom and Maranatha!
See you soon!

Pentecost 2019

To add to the excitement, we are in the harvest season of Israel and within the period referred to in Acts 2:1 as “when the day of Pentecost was fully come.

It is, of course, possible that the Church which was conceived on Pentecost is destined to be Resurrected/Raptured on Pentecost—a pilgrimage festival which many believe is this weekend.

There is a reason for the confusion related to the timing of this Feast:

Think of the impact the Jewish believers must have had as they described the Lord’s resurrection on the Sunday of Passover week at First Fruits and the coming of the Spirit seven Sundays later on Pentecost. The leaders must have been hard pressed to explain away the relevance of the feasts and their fulfillment in the Messiah.

The solution they came up with was to obfuscate the calendar in such a way as to make the connection less clear between the feasts and their fulfillment in Christ and the Holy Spirit. The strategy apparently worked because most Jewish people today see no connection whatever between the Feasts and the Messiah. [Excerpt from levitt.com]

Because of its ambiguous timing, Pentecost (also called Shavuot or Feast of Weeks), falls into the similar category of the Feast of Trumpets as an Unknown Day and Hour.

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. - Matthew 24:44 KJV


In Summary—HE IS COMING!

Our Brother Jeová, quoting T. W. Tramm, summarized it beautifully. (From his June 14, 2019, Comment on Rev12Daily.blogspot.com):

Having highlighted this remarkable convergence, we understand that a coming together of prophetic signs and timelines doesn’t necessarily mean the event alluded to, in this case the Rapture, is going to occur at this time. Oftentimes a convergence is simply a convergence, a sign or marker pointing forward.

Besides, Jesus says he is coming at an hour we think not (Matt. 24:44).

Such a rare and profound convergence is, however, intended to get our attention.

Therefore, look up!

The heavens are declaring to everyone who has ears to hear: “The King is on His way!”







June 16, 2019, Addendum

Because Jeová admittedly obtained much of his information from T. W. Tramm's website theseasonofreturn.com, I thought I would add here links to a couple of the most pertinent articles:

Mid-June Convergence
Full Moon Rapture?

The Harvest and The Wedding


Those who have been awakened by the Holy Spirit to know events are converging for the Resurrection/Rapture and are fervently watching have seen great evidence of a possible Pentecost Rapture. At first, speculating on this date did not make sense to me (see The Rapture Mystery for my musings).

The timing of His Appearing could still be on a day that is otherwise uneventful; however, I could not pass by these recent discoveries related to Shavuot (or Pentecost) without sharing them:

The 100 Day Count

The folks at the Rev12Daily blogspot brought my attention to the very real possibility that the fullness of Pentecost is a 100-day count (check out the Comments under Prepping for Pentecost).



Then today I watched THE GOOD NEWS!!! by Brother John at Watchman for that Great Day Youtube Channel. He also brought up the 100-day count saying this is what was referred to in Acts as “when the day of Pentecost was fully come”.

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. - Acts 2:1 KJV

This got me digging and I found some very compelling information at worldslastchance.com. Here’s a partial synopsis from their section titled, “Evidence Favoring: 7 Complete Weeks + 50 Days”:

Proof #1—The Fourth Month

A study of John's narration indicates that Yahushua likely said this around the time of the Passover (i.e. the First Month). This means that Yahushua believed that the wheat would not be ready to harvest until about the middle of Summer. No one argued with Him!

In order to maintain that the 9th day of the third lunation is the correct date for observing Pentecost, we must believe that the scene at the well here (John 4) took place in winter. This does not seem reasonable, as the chronology of John's narrative as well as the context of Yahushua's conversation with the woman at the well strongly suggests that a pilgrimage feast was at hand.

It is worth noting Fenton's literal translation of the Greek text. Fenton suggests that Yahushua actually stated plainly that the wheat harvest took place in the "fourth month."

"Do you not say, 'The harvest comes with the fourth month'? See! Look up, I tell you, and survey the fields; for they are already white for harvesting." (John 4:35, Fenton) [Excerpt from worldslastchance.com]

(NOTE: To look this up go to: Digital Fenton Translation.)

Unlike today's method, in early times the grain harvest had to begin before the grain was fully ripe so that it would not fall out of the husk prematurely, for instance, while it was being cut. Even though it was harvested earlier, the grain was sufficiently developed to ripen on its own, but the important element to note is that the husk still held the grain securely until it dried, hardened, and was ready to go through a process known as threshing.

Christ provides a clue as to when it was the best time to cut the grain in John 4:35: . . . His statement gives us information about when the harvest began in those days: The cutting, no doubt, began when the crop was "white." This is the transition color between the green of immature grain and the golden brown of fully ripe grain. At this stage, when the grain is still white, a reaper, using a very sharp sickle, cut down the standing grain. bibletools.org


Proof #2—Moses at Mount Sinai

According to the Scriptures, Moses and the children of Israel arrived at Mt. Sinai on the 50th Day since The Feast of Firstfruits:

In Exodus 19:1, we read: "In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai." From this we learn, that Israel arrived at Mt. Sinai on the 15th day of the Third Month. We can know this because Moses tells us that they arrived on the same day of the month that they had left Egypt, which was the 15th (Num. 33:3). This means that Israel arrived at Mt. Sinai exactly 7 days after the "seventh complete Sabbath," which is always the 8th day of the Third Month. . .

If we continue reading, we see that the Israelites were commanded by Moses to consecrate themselves and wash their clothes for they were to meet with Yahuwah - in 3 days. "For on the third day, Yahuwah will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people" (Ex 19:10-11). By this we can conclude that Yahuwah descended on Mt Sinai in the sight of all the people exactly 10 days after the "seventh complete Sabbath" (8th day of Third Month + 7 days + 3 days). 

In Exodus 20:18-21, we read that the Israelites were terrified at the presence of Yahuwah, so they ask Moses to speak to Yahuwah for them. Moses then ascends the mountain, where he remains for "forty days and forty nights" (Ex. 24:18). After 40 days, Moses descends Mt. Sinai with the Ten Commandments Law of Yahuwah (Deut. 9:9-12). From this, we can conclude with certainty that Moses descended Mt. Sinai with the Commandments EXACTLY 50 days after the "seventh complete Sabbath" (8th day of Third Month + 7 days + 3 days + 40 days). Amazing!

. . . It is worth noting also that Aaron (the high priest), one day earlier, somehow knew to proclaim a "feast to Yahuwah" on this very day - EXACTLY 50 days after the "seventh complete Sabbath."
"And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow is a feast [Strong's H2282] to Yahuwah." (Ex 32:5)

  • "feast" = Strong's H2282 [khag]; Khag is consistently used throughout Scripture to denote a pilgrimage feast. . .  Note: Yahuwah does not reprimand His high priest [Aaron] for proclaiming a feast on the wrong day; rather Yahuwah cites idolatry as the reason for His anger. (Ex. 32:7-9Deut.9:16, 20)

Moses descended the mountain with the Ten Commandments Law of Yahuwah on the same day that Aaron (the high priest) somehow knew to proclaim a "feast [khag] to Yahuwah." This took place EXACTLY 50 DAYS AFTER THE "SEVENTH COMPLETE SABBATH"! [Excerpt from worldslastchance.com]

Proof #3—The New Wine

Brother John pointed out that the mockers referred to “new wine” when the disciples spoke in tongues on the day of Pentecost:

Here is what worldslastchance.com wrote:

Scripture continually associates the wheat harvest with the grape harvest, both taking place in the Summer. The "new wine" spoken of in Acts Chapter 2 would not have been available in the Third Month (Spring).
"And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. . . . [Some] mocking said, ‘These men are full of new wine. [Strong's G1098]’" (Acts 2:3-4, 13)

·         "new wine" = Strong's G1098 = denotes sweet "new wine" (The New Strong's Dictionary of Bible Words)

[This ends my excerpts from worldslastchance.com, but if you are interested they give additional evidence to proclaim that the count to the Feast of Weeks is 7 Sabbaths Complete + 50 days.]

In the account of Ruth and Boaz, we see that the barley harvest overlapped into the beginning of the wheat harvest.

So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law. - Ruth 2:23 KJV

This is true of the fruit harvest as well. The mention of new wine at Pentecost is pointing to early to mid-Summer when the wheat harvest would be concluding and the grape harvest beginning. New wine is only available at the beginning of the grape harvest!

Pentecost and Joel 2 Prophecy

Stephanie Dawn made important observations in her article: Pentecost--The Feast That Ties Everything Together For the Church the first of which was how Pentecost marks a dispensational change:

Note how Pentecost/Shavuot seems to introduce new dispensations – first, the Dispensation of Law (Mosaic covenant), then the Dispensation of Grace (Spirit of the Law).  Will it also introduce the interim dispensation of wrath (the Day of the Lord, commonly called the “Tribulation”, which seems to involve both Law and Grace)?

In Part 3 of her article, Stephanie writes, “Peter affirms that the Holy Spirit coming at Pentecost was a partial fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy”. How astute of her to notice this!

The end of the Holy Spirit’s sealing ministry in the church will be marked by wonders in the heavens, signs on the earth, blood, fire, vapor of smoke, darkened sun, and a blood red moon.  These events clearly did not occur on the first Pentecost, so why would Peter mention them in his sermon – on Pentecost?  Could it be that he is announcing the future fulfillment of the remainder of Joel’s prophecy on some future Pentecost?


The Wedding of Ruth

The account of Ruth and Boaz is a prophetic picture of the wedding of the mostly-Gentile Church Bride and our Kinsman Redeemer Jesus. In the above video, Brother John shared that Boaz and Ruth were married after the grain harvest was completed!

So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law. - Ruth 2:23 KJV

That means late Spring or early Summer!

Six Measures of Barley

Also notice that Boaz accepted Ruth’s request for marriage and gave her six measures of barley:

And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor. Also he said, Bring the vail that [thou hast] upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six [measures] of barley, and laid [it] on her: and she went into the city. - Ruth 3:14-15 KJV

And she said, These six [measures] of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law. - Ruth 3:17 KJV

The Bible specifically gives the number, even though it doesn’t tell the size of the measure. What is it about the number six and what is it about barley rather than wheat that the Bible is trying to tell us? The number six, according to EW Bullinger, “…has to do with man; it is the number of imperfection; the human number; the number of MAN as destitute of God, without God, without Christ.” As he says, “it is certain that man was created on the sixth day, and thus he has the number six impressed upon him. Moreover, six days were appointed to him for his labour; while one day is associated in sovereignty with the Lord God, as His rest.”

Insightful as ever, Bullinger rightly tied the number six in with labors and that at the end of the labors there is the anticipation of “the Lord God, and His rest.” It is exactly what Naomi was seeking for Ruth, and thus implicitly, for herself through Ruth.” One cannot enter rest until the work is done. . .

In an astute observation, Lange gives us these words to consider concerning what this is showing us – “Naomi receives what she may take as an intimation that the time has come, when after long labor she must let Ruth go out free. The day of rest is at hand.”

. . . That explains the number six, but why barley? The reason for specifying barley is because of what barley pictures. First, it is a picture of the resurrection of Christ because barley was what was presented at the Feast of Firstfruits. [Excerpt from a 2014 article by Charlie Garrett  superiorword.org]

As Mr. Garrett pointed out: Bullinger rightly tied the number six in with labors and that at the end of the labors there is the anticipation of “the Lord God, and His rest”.

This, of course, brings to mind how 6 days is 6,000 years that man will toil and have dominion over the earth (2 Peter 3:8). Seven years before the completion of the 6,000 years, Jesus has promised to come and whisk the Church Bride away to a place He has prepared for us and to our wondrous wedding!

Naomi assures Ruth that because of all that Boaz said and did Ruth need not fear because it meant he promised to see it to completion!

Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day. - Ruth 3:18 KJV

Matthew Henry in his Commentary writes:

Naomi believes that Ruth has won his heart, and that therefore he will not be easy till he knows whether she be his or no. This she gives as a reason why Ruth should sit still and not perplex herself about it, that Boaz had undertaken it, and he would be sure to manage it well. blb.org

How much more should be our confidence then, Brethren! Our Kinsman Redeemer Jesus Christ has sealed us with His Spirit as a promise of our Redemption and Wedding Day—He will see our marriage to its completion! Our Day of Rest is at hand!







On April 28, 2020, Stephanie Dawn posted a related article at unsealed.org: Another Feast Of "Unknown Day And Hour"? (Pentecost Study Part 3). Here is an excerpt:

Summary: Possible Dates for Pentecost 2020

For those of you who prefer a summary:

Sadduccees: May 31, 2020 (8 Sivan)
The Sadduccees begin the countdown of the Feast of Weeks on the first Sunday after Passover.  This Sunday always falls within the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

Pharisees: May 29, 2020 (6 Sivan)
The Pharisees begin the countdown of the Feast of Weeks on the day after Passover.  Since Passover occurs on Nisan 15, a fixed date of Sivan 6 is used for Shavuot (Pentecost).  

Essenes: June 7, 2020 (15 Sivan) 
The Essenes begin the countdown of the Feast of Weeks on the Sunday after the Feast of Unleavened Bread.  Thus, it always falls a week after the date calculated by the Sadduccees.

Karaites: May 31, 2020 (8 Sivan) 
The Karaites based their countdown of the Feast of Weeks on the ripeness of the first sheaves of barley.  Once barley ripeness was established, the Firstfruits offering could be made during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, on the day after the weekly Sabbath.  The Feast of Weeks countdown began at this Feast of Firstfruits.  In general, their method coincides with the Sadduccees.


It seems we may not clearly be able to know the Day of Pentecost, unless you can determine which view is correct!  I would suggest that this places Pentecost as a contender in the "feast that no one knows the day/hour" category; what do you think?
