5783 The Year of Retribution & Rapture? 2023

 

Last year I came across Brandon Dawson of Tribe of Christians Youtube Channel, a young Brother in Christ in whom I believe God is mightily at work. Six months ago Brandon posted the video 5783 Prophetic Message | Year of Retribution but I did not watch it at that time. Then on January 4, 2023, he posted WARNING PREPARE NOW! | END TIMES | PROPHECY | CHINA which I did watch. In this recent video he referred to his prior 5783 Prophetic Message and I remembered what the Lord had said to me regarding retribution (more on that later in this article).

 

Brandon Dawson begins by explaining the excess deaths the world has been experiencing which are attributed to the Covid-19 vaccinations. He includes a compelling clip of a European Parliament member who said:

 

“When these vaccinations became available, we were promised it would prevent contraction and transmission of Covid-19. . . Somebody lied and I want to know who lied!”

 

Beginning around the 6-minute mark, Brandon explains a study that revealed that the higher the number of vaccinations received, the higher the risk of contracting Covid-19 became!

 

Covid is surging through China’s population of 2 billion individuals, but this news is being suppressed by the mainstream media. It is spreading faster than the 2019 contagion. In 2020 1 sick person could infect 2 or 3. BUT NOW “for every 1 person infected, 16 more will become infected.” Ninety percent of Chinese are vaccinated. If the Cleveland Clinic Study is correct, THIS IS WHY Covid-19 appears to be spreading so fast--it is the vaccinated becoming ill!

 

It is reported that approximately 80% of Americans are vaccinated. The Lord gave Brandon both a prophetic word and vision he believes are related to this.

January 22, 2023

 

On January 22, 2019, the Anniversary of Roe v. Wade, New York became the first state to officially legalize late term abortion. On that same day Brandon was given a Prophetic Warning: Judgement Coming. Exactly one year later, on January 22, 2020, the first Covid case was detected in the United States. God told Brandon this was merely a precursor sign of a coming greater judgment.

Then on October 18, 2022, Brandon was shown a Prophetic Vision: New Decree Issued Another Coming Plague. He believes the Second Plague is this resurgence of Covid-19 upon the vaccinated. Yet, when he initially wrote about it, he admitted:

 

This plague may not be an illness or disease. There are many other types of plagues. In the Bible, specifically in the end times and in the Book of Revelation, there are also plagues of fire, brimstone, and of hail.

 

MY NOTE: Also remember the plague of darkness. (Related: Prophesied Events Before the Rapture)

 

January 22, 2023, is the Chinese New Year. It is the Year of the Rabbit, which is interesting in light of the symbolism behind it (as explained in a dark article at exposingthematrix.blogspot.com).  

 

January 22, 2023, is also the 50^th Anniversary or Jubilee Year of Roe v. Wade. Brandon Dawson points out how 50 is the number for Jubilee, the year of liberation. It was the strengthening and expansion of Roe v. Wade by New York and 9 other states plus other blatant national sins that will result in this Second Plague coming upon America.

“The prophet Jeremiah warned Israel as to what would happen to a nation that had once known God and now lifts up its children as offerings to the gods. The end is destruction. There are few things that so invoke the judgment of God as the killing of little children.”

Rapture then Retribution

 

As I wrote at the beginning of this article, Brandon Dawson was shown that 5783 is the Year of Retribution:

 

The word Gimel is derived from the root Hebrew word gemul, which means 'justified repayment', or the giving of reward and punishment. . .

 

Therefore, 5783 will be a continuation and pinnacle point of the year 5782. Because a marking always takes place before the act of judgement occurs, the year 5782 resembled the marking of truth, and 5783 will conclude with the act of judgement occurring resulting in both blessing and curse according to the recipients. tribeofchristians.com [Link for gemul added by me.]

 

Another prophetic writer shared similar information:

 

The number three (3) is represented by the Hebrew letter Gimel (or Gimmel). Its’ pictograph looks like the foot of a person walking to the left. The root word for it is the Hebrew word gemul, meaning ‘justified repayment’ or giving of reward and punishment. 

 

It represents the ending of one era and beginning of another. . .

 

The Merriam-Webster dictionary further defines retribution as payback, reprisal, requital, retaliation, revenge, vengeance. Basically, exacting punishment for wrongdoing. . .

 

“Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them.” (Deuteronomy 32:35)

 

. . . By the way, sometimes our dreams show us the plans of the enemy so that we can pray against them, so don’t get too shook if you have some “bad” dreams. You’ve got the power in the name of Jesus to pray against them. Remember, this is a year of the vengeance of the Lord. . .

When searching for an image to use of the Hebrew letter gimmel, I noticed that it also means “gather”.

Brandon’s impression in his spirit is that Those in Christ will witness this retribution against the wrongdoers and even though we are not the target, we should prepare because it will nonetheless affect our lives. I agree that the Man Child/Bride will see judgments fall that are not yet the wrath of God and that we could see this Second Plague (related: "New York, Chicago, L.A."); however, it is encouraging to me that on 9-11 back in 2013, the Spirit said this to me:

The retribution of God upon the world

is not retribution against His people!

The word 'retribution' is not one I would use in a normal conversation and although I was familiar with its meaning I looked it up to make sure I understood it correctly:

ret·ri·bu·tion

retrəˈbyo͞oSH(ə)n/

noun

1. punishment inflicted on someone as vengeance for a wrong or criminal act.

 

This is why, although the Church will face tribulation She is not appointed to His wrath (John 16:33; Acts 14:22; 1 Thessalonians 5:9. Also see Saved from Wrath).

 

It is my great expectation that 5783 is indeed the Year of Retribution. Why would I say such a thing? Because if retribution does mean “punishment inflicted on someone as vengeance” then it is very possible that this Hebrew Year 5783 will mark the beginning of the “time of vengeance of our God”. In other words, The Year of the Tribulation. Since Those in Christ are not subject to God’s vengeance, the Rapture must happen first.

 

The Book of Isaiah declares that the “day of vengeance” is when God deals with His enemies:

 

The Spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to [them that are] bound; - Isaiah 61:1 KJV

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; - Isaiah 61:2 KJV

 

When in Nazareth, Jesus, the Messiah, read Isaiah 61 as far as “to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor” (Isa: 61:2, NRSV; Luke 4:19, NRSV). Then He stopped and said, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:21, NRSV). So, He deliberately and specifically avoided reading the next words in the same verse: “the day of vengeance of our God” (Isa: 61:2, NRSV). While His ministry of good news, liberty, and comfort was beginning to set captives free from Satan’s tyranny, the day of vengeance was not yet to come. In Matt: 24:1-51 (compare Mark 13:1-37, Luke 21:1-38), He predicted to His disciples that divine judgments would come in the future.

 

Indeed, in Isaiah 61 the day of God’s vengeance is the “great and terrible day of the LORD” (Joel 2:31, NRSV; Mal: 4:5), to be fulfilled when Christ will come again to liberate Planet Earth from injustice by defeating His enemies and setting the oppressed remnant of His people free (Revelation 19:1-21; compare  Daniel 2.44-45). So, although Christ announced the beginning of “the year of the LORD’s favor,” its culmination is at His second coming. Source: ssnet.org

 

For the LORD has a day of vengeance, A year of retribution for the cause of Zion. Isaiah 34:8 New American Standard Bible

 

The Commentary by A. R. FAUSSET says Isaiah 34:8 refers to “the year when God will retaliate on those who have contended with Zion” and that this was not only fulfilled in the Old Testament but this verse is fulfilled in the future and aligns with Isaiah 61:2: “The final winding up of the controversy between God and all enemies of Him and His people is also foreshadowed ( Isa 61:2 63:4 66:14-16 Mal 4:1, 3 2Th 1:7, 8, 9 Rev 11:18 18:20 19:2 ).

5783 Jubilee Rapture?

 

In my previous blog post I shared T. W. Tramm’s article wherein he explains two ways in which the Shemitahs/Shmitas or Sabbatical Cycles are determined—the Zuckermann and the Wacholder methods:

 

. . . Wacholder had access to documents not available to Zuckermann and, because his reckoning corresponds better to events such as the siege of Beth-zur (165 BC) and, according to some, the Temple destruction in 70 AD, many modern scholars have adopted the cycle that places the Sabbatical year one year later. . .

 

According to Zuckermann, the pivotal first year of the Sabbatical cycle (potential Jubilee) began at Tishrei 2022. According to Wacholder, it begins at Tishrei 2023. Reckoning Wacholder’s chronology from Nisan, however, the pivotal first year lands directly in the middle of the two Jewish reckonings, beginning at Nisan 2023.

 

Brandon Dawson also points out how the Shmitas are determined using the destruction of the Temple as a marking point as Wacholder did. If Wacholder’s method is accurate, we could be looking at a Spring 2023 Rapture!

And something significant might occur this Spring in Israel—specifically at the Temple Mount. Since Israel’s 70^th Anniversary Jewish worshipers have begun showing an increasing determination to have the right to openly worship on the Temple Mount—a right that was stripped from them as part of the 1967 agreement that gave the Jordanian Waqf control of it. Then yesterday Watchwoman65 posted TEMPLE MOUNT ACTIVIST PETITION FOR PASSOVER SACRIFICE. This reminded me of the following:

 

Matthew Patrick Winfrey, a brother in Christ on Youtube who ministers in the Philippines, believes he was shown that “When you see the natural seed of Abraham ascend the natural Mount Zion, know that this is the sign that the spiritual seed of Abraham will ascend to the Heavenly Mount Zion”.

All these things were stirring in my head as I took a shower yesterday morning. I set them before the Lord admitting my sorrow over not spending intimate time with my beautiful loving Savior. As soon as I was dressed, I hurried to go pray and as I exited the bathroom that adjoined my bedroom, I was surprised by His immediate loving presence which caused me to weep and bow down before Him on my knees. As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw a vision of clouds gathering and then I heard within me His voice speaking:

 

Clouds of war are coming to your shores

Clouds of illness

Clouds of fear 

But My Great Cloud of Glory is coming as well

The dead shall rise

The sick shall be healed

The unbeliever will believe

 

Clouds of discouragement will encompass My people

But fear not!

For I AM in the midst of the clouds upholding you with My right hand

Be not afraid

I come quickly!

 

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 KJV
