I haven't read all of this as it is quite long, however, it was sent in by my sister so I know it has been approved.

To Prepare Their Ark For Coming Disasters?
“…for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light”. Luke 16:9
What are the Luciferic world’s rulers doing to prepare for themselves for the days to come? They know their own plans, received from their god Lucifer. They know the world devastation that must come to create the needed chaos to bring their god onto the throne on the Temple Mount. They also know about things they cannot control and they are scared of those things. Yet, they are working furiously to provide for themselves to survive in the next 3½ to 7 years. Few of Yahuweh’s people are doing anything to prepare for the days ahead. But, we look at the chief Lucifer leadership under the Illuminati, in America and worldwide, and we will see much activity. I got in on the tail end of the night news—NBC—with Brian Williams. They told of what happened yesterday in Norway, and showed pictures. I was shocked. Once the public news tells us something, its been done for a long time. According to NBC, yesterday (February 26, 2008) the “Global Seed Bank” opened in Norway, officially. I personally know that the World Food Organization has been storing grains, in top ground and below ground granaries, in the Aqaba/Petra area of Edom— on the Red Sea in Southern Jordan—since at least 1963, because that area is the area zoned off for world refugees and disaster and famine relief. It is the area that the Bible says will be the safe zone for His people during the 3½ years of the tribulation period under anti-messiah. (For more on this, ask for the article: “The Re-gathering and Preservation of All the Tribes…”) The evil one can’t touch it—Daniel 11:41, and etc. In Isaiah 33:14-17 it says that the food and water will be sure of those who meet His requirements and are hidden until Messiah comes in Edom. I lived in that region for 8 years and saw detailed prophecies fulfilled to do with the last 3 ½ years and His provision for His set-apart remnant there. Excerpts from the article from MSNBC news, February 26, 2008--link: www.independent.co.uk/news/europe/norways-doomsdayvault-holds-seed “It is referred to as the `Doomsday Vault’ and housed in an icy steel and concrete bunker, more than one hundred meters deep inside the mountain permafrost of an Artic archipelago. Yet the Svalbard Global Seed Vault is man’s latest attempt to create a latter-day Noah’s Ark, or insurance policy, for the planet in the event of a catastrophic event…it has the capacity to hold up to 4.5 million batches of seeds from all the known varieties of the planet’s main food crops. …It has been built to withstand nuclear missile attacks and even dramatic rises in sea levels. Norway’s Svalbard Islands lie some 620 miles south of the North Pole deep inside the Artic Circle…The vault is protected by high walls of fortified concrete, doors armored with steel plate and a home
Page 1 guard of free-roaming polar bears…The Svalbard vault already appears to have survived its first environmental test. Last Thursday what was described as `the biggest earthquake in Norway’s history’—a tremor with a magnitude of 6.2—was registered near the archipelago.” The world’s people are preparing for a worldwide disaster that could destroy the earth’s supply of food and even trees of different types. Yet, this vault is not just being prepared for seeds. We hear so little of anything but tabloid news, for there has been a purposed news blackout to the U.S. for over 40 years. What they tell us, then, must be researched out as to why they are telling us these things. Is great worldwide destruction in the Word of Yahuweh in our day? Yes! Revelation chapter 8, and many other passages throughout the prophets, tell of the destruction of the earth, like Isaiah 13 and 24, before Messiah’s coming. Revelation 8 tells us that cataclysmic events will happen that will destroy a third of the world’s trees and all grass, and destroy 1/3 of the rivers, lakes and sea life, and affect 1/3 of the sun, moon and stars. Revelation 8:10-13 also tells us of a huge fireball from heaven that comes to bring destruction that is called “Wormwood”.. One of the main fears of the world’s leaders is concerning this fireball. It has been called for a long time, “Planet X”. But, since 1983, NASA has identified it--information came out in newspapers and magazines--and in 2006 made it “public” on Internet news, but not openly to the average citizen, except in movies. There is rising great concern about it. It is estimated at the size of Jupiter, which is 318 times the size of earth, and definitely headed towards earth. It is not a planet, not a star, not an asteroid or a comet. It is what is called a “brown dwarf star”. From The Return of Planet X by Dr. Jason Rand, pages 131-132: “A dwarf star is an object that is too big to be considered a planet, but not quite big enough to sustain the nuclear `fusion’ of hydrogen in its core to come a real star. Dwarf stars…also called `brown dwarf stars’ just smolder under the weight of their own massiveness but never fully ignite.” In 2006, “Planet X” became the 10th planet, designated by NASA. Shortly after that NASA removed Pluto as a planet and Planet X became the 9th planet. Because it is so dark, it can only be seen from a distance by infrared light, which NASA used to see it. It is approaching from the south—towards the South Pole. It is sneaking up on us, and until it is very close, we won’t be able to see it. Already much scientific activity is on the South Pole for different reasons, including this one. From Rand’s book, page 139: “…in 1983, NASA struck pay dirt! NASA’s newly launched IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite) actually spotted a large, dark, mysterious object coming towards us from the depths of space. The discovery was first mentioned in a 1983 Washington Post interview with the chief IRAD scientist from JPL in California, Dr. Gerry Neugebauer.” From the Washington Post article: “`A heavenly body possibly as large as the
Page 2 giant Jupiter and possibly so close to earth that it would be a part of this solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation Orion, by an orbiting telescope…the object has been spotted on the western edge of the constellation Orion…and there has been some speculation that it might be moving towards earth’ ”. It is already pulling on Pluto and Uranus. It is very possible that it is also causing some of the storms, volcano eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis that we have experienced recently. The oval orbit of this “dwarf star”, scientists estimate, brings it past the earth approximately every 3600-4000 years. The degree of destruction depends on its orbit, as it passes earth, goes around the sun, and then returns past the earth. Noah’s day was about 5,000 years ago. But, the events of the deep and water canapé over the earth being broken up, and the pole shift that occurred, which happens when Planet X comes through, could be connected to the time of the Flood—Genesis 7. Before the Flood, earth was watered by a mist, and about 72F degrees over all the earth. A man could run 200 miles and not get tired. People lived to be hundreds of years old.. But the pole shift caused man’s life to shorten, because of the decreased oxygen supply, and caused ice to form at the poles, created new weather patterns, and the earth became quite different than before the Flood. Either before or when Messiah comes, the poles will shift back into their pre-Flood positions, causing “a child to die at a hundred”, as Isaiah says. The pre-Flood conditions will be reinstated. (From Dr. Carl Baugh, Creation Science Museum, Glen Rose, Texas--information on NBC news) Dr. Baugh built a hypobaric chamber, with the exact atmospheric conditions before the flood, in which a person could be healed instantly of wounds and diseases by the high oxygen content. Planet X was called by the ancient Sumerians, “Nibiru”, which means “The Planet of the Crossing”--because it’s path crosses earth’s path. It will come through the asteroid belt, which is from Mars outward, and send asteroids shooting at us. Depending on how it passes between the earth and the sun, it could create a pole shift. It also could create 300-400 mph winds on the earth. In a pole shift the tectonic plates slide over the earth’s molten core, shifting the earth’s crust around. Some scientists contribute that the increased earthquakes, high winds, and volcano eruptions are being created by the pull of Planet X on us already. However, some of the devastating weather conditions and earthquakes, sea storms, etc., are being caused by Russian and/or American scalar weather warfare—but possibly not all of it. Planet X is supposed to make its first pass of earth, coming up from behind us to the south, on September 18, 2009, then go around the sun, and make its second and most powerful pass on December 21, 2012 (the day the Mayan calendar ends, and the new age supposedly begin). This brown dwarf star out there is not myth, fantasy or paganism. In all ancient cultures the happenings of the passing of this “dwarf star” are
Page 3 recorded in detail. Some suggest that it’s passing caused the plagues of Exodus 7-14, and the opening of the Red Sea. I find that far-fetched, since it was Moses, under the direction of Yahuweh, who instigated the plagues, and by his authority opened the Red Sea. It is also possible that “X” passed through in the days of Peleg, for in his day, after the Flood, the “earth was divided” (Genesis 10:25). It could have caused the continents to break apart. But, we know that a pole shift did happen at the time of the Flood, no matter how it happened. And, we are in the days of Noah, no question about that. The events of the passing of this brown dwarf matches perfectly Isaiah 13 and 24, and other passages which tell us that the earth will be shaken violently and teeter totter like a drunken man. In Hebrews 12:25-29, when He says that He will shake the earth and the heavens, He is not kidding! We know that the anti-messiah will come with fallen angels, Nephilim, and their entourage of lies, deceptions, and false signs and wonders. (II Thessalonians 2) This deception sent by Yahuweh upon those who do not love the Truth—His Word--is the great deception that will fool even the “elect, if possible”. It will shake many people’s faith, there will be great apostasy, and many will think it is the return of Jesus. It is very possible that Lucifer in the flesh (anti-messiah) will somehow use Planet X in his plans to terrify and deceive mankind. The first passing of Planet X is slated for September 18, 2009. SEPTEMBER 18, 2009, SUNSET, BEGINS YOM TERUAH--THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS, going into 2010 on the Hebrew calendar. It is possible that the first passing will create such trauma among the world’s people that when anti-messiah comes at Passover of 2012, he will use the second passing, December 21, 2012, as a means of getting everyone on his side. Our blessed Jewish Messiah Yahushua comes on a Feast of Trumpets three and a half years after anti-messiah’s appearing. When He comes, there will be much cosmic activity too.
Luke 21:25-27: “And there shall be signs in the sun, and moon, and stars, and on the earth anxiety of nations, in bewilderment at the roaring of the seas, with agitation, men fainting from fear and the expectation of what is coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory”. In Revelation 6:12-17, Joel 2:30-31 and other passage, we see a scenario at His coming that could very well fit into the scenario of Planet X. He comes with the wrath of Yahuweh (Revelation 11:15-19).
How this plays out, we don’t know. But, if and when this great object from space comes, the enemy will use it for his advantage, but also so will Yahuweh! The world rulers are especially afraid of Planet X’s coming. (For more information on Planet X, ask for the article by a dear brother who did a lot of studying on this subject, entitled “2012”)
Page 4 Has the time for the trumpet judgments to begin arrived? Yes! And from this coming Yom Teruah, Feast of Trumpets, September 29, 2008 (beginning 2009 on the Hebrew creation calendar) the trumpet judgments will begin. Since September 29, 2000, the seals have been off (Revelation 6) and the first five are in full operation over ¼ of the earth, as stated. Would not the trumpet judgments begin on a Feast of Trumpets, since at the blast of the last of the seven trumpets Messiah Yahushua comes with the wrath of the Father? (I Corinthians 15:51-58 with Revelation 11:15-18) Messiah comes on a Feast of Trumpets at the end of a Shmittah year—the seventh year of a seven-year cycle. We are in the next to the last Shmittah year before Messiah returns. (For the trilogy of articles on this great transition into Daniel’s 70th week, and other events, ask for the articles: “The Shmittah Year Prophecy”, “The Forty Eight Hour Transition” and “The September 12, 2007 Report From Jerusalem.) When I began researching these things as the Spirit of the Father was leading me, and leading others that I did not know about until later, He did not reveal the mid point of the seven years, which will be marked by the coming of the anti-messiah and his entourage of fallen angels and Nephilim (Genesis 6, Numbers 13). Afterwards, as I looked, I saw that the mid-point was 2012. When I began my study on 2012, I was deluged with a tidal wave of information, from New Age people, to NASA scientists, to chronologists, to calendar changers, to the pope and the Jesuit Illuminists, as well as from Word-sound believers, and mixtures of others. Do the world’s Luciferic leaders under the Vatican/Jesuits/Illuminati know about 2012? That’s laughable—they know about it so well that they are terrified. They are scared of their own plans. But, they also know that events like the return of Planet X is about to happen, and government changes are about to happen, and the sun is going to fall through the galaxy, and all types of cataclysmic events are going to take place, and they are not like the naïve and ignorant who do nothing—they are wise as serpents and deadly as a green mamba, viper, or coral snake. We are called upon to be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves”, but unfortunately, most “believers” are victims of serpents, because they have not learned the wisdom that their enemy knows.
Proverbs 27:12: “A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished”.
The wise act! There is a natural wisdom that causes the knowing ones to prepare to at least save their lives and their family’s lives. But, most Americans are in denial that anything is going to happen, thus few do anything to prepare. But, the world rulers of Lucifer’s kingdom are doing much to prepare. There are approximately 200 underground cities (I mean cities) in the United States, about that number in Russia, in China, and a few in Israel, and some in other G-
Page 5 8 countries. Some are secret laboratories for the creation of the transgenic mutants experiments of the Pentagon and other government atrocities of DNA mixing, disease creations, military secrets, the hiding of Nephilim, and cloning of human bodies for the Nephilim spirits-- Genesis 6. But there are cities there also for the hiding out of the elite when what their god has planned comes down. One huge facility is in Alaska, another in Virginia. In Norway, they have also built a huge vault to protect themselves. All over Europe and other places, these vaults are being prepared for nuclear war, for disease releases, for protection from their own creations of “super soldiers”, “trans-humans”, and super “trans-animals”. (For more on this ask for the articles: “Eugenics—The Planned End of Mankind” and “The Preservation of the Royal Seed”.) The world’s elite rulers also need protection from other elements of warfare they have created—weather warfare and planned famine. They will be shut in with good food and water and all the necessities for a good time until they can come out of their own self-made arks and take over the world with their god-ruler. Unfortunately for them, they have not been clued in on the plans of their god—Lucifer/Satan for their demise, and so many will end up in Petra with the remnant of Yahuweh’s people. That has a ring of humor to it. (Revelation 6:12-17) Interesting enough, as in Isaiah 33:14-17, Yahuweh’s set-apart remnant in Edom will have their good food and water given to them. Yahuweh takes care of His own! Many things are about to happen that can and will bring forward the world rulers’ goal of eliminating 95-100% of mankind. But, Yahuweh will preserve a remnant of His people, no matter what Satan/Lucifer/anti-messiah does!
From a 2007 report by a Norwegian politician: (From the Project Camelot website): “I would like to say that difficult things will happen from the year 2008 until the year 2012. The Norwegian government is building more and more underground bases and bunkers. When I enquire when they are due to be finished, they reply `before 2012’. Israel is also doing the same and many other countries too. Planet X is coming and Norway has begun with storage of food and seeds in the Svalbard area and in the artic north with the help of the U.S. and the E.U. and all around in Norway. As for me, I already know that I am going to leave before 2012 to go to the area of Mosjoen where we have a deep underground military facility. The people that are going to be left on the surface will get no help whatsoever. The plan is that 2,000,000 Norwegians are going to be safe and the rest will die. All sectors and arks are connected with tunnels and have railcars that can take you from one ark to the other…All the major politicians know this in Norway, but few will say it to the people and the public—because they are afraid in case they, too, will miss the NOAH 12 railcars that will take them to the ark sites where they will be safe…Remember that those who are
Page 6 going to be in and around the city areas in 2012 are those that are going to be hit first and die first…The public will not know what happens till the very end, because the government does not want to create mass panic. Everything will happen quietly and the government will just disappear.” [My note: This exact scenario is also being planned for America.] From another Norwegian politician speaking to Project Camelot: “Later, when I got into politics, I began digging into this because I needed more answers. What I found out was that these bases were arks for the government and some of the people and military to survive inside. There was a threat from outside that was going to in the year 2012 and that the human species had to survive…The `Planet X’ I learned about is from all what I have seen until now. The government knows this and are keeping it from the public. They have been tracking this object for a long time now and were given the first warnings from the USA. I know that 18 bases exist in Norway. I don’t know what many of the dangers are because I am not a scientist. But what I know is that before 2012 the different governments are going to leave for the bases that they have built for the last 40 to 50 years...We were just told that we have to leave before 2012 and that there is something from space that is going to cause destruction.” From ABCNEWS.com April 25, 2004: “Officials have rehearsed an `Armageddon Plan’…For 20 years unbeknownst to most of the public, U.S. officials and private citizens have rehearsed a secret plan to preserve America’s government if Washington or other key cities were somehow wiped out and perhaps even to take control of the government if the nation’s top leaders were lost…This is really an echo of the `Continuity of Government’ plan—secret locations, secret codes. Formulated during the Cold War, the original plan dealt with the possibility of nuclear attack…The plan was so secret until recently”. There are plans and preparations for government takeover. (Read the Washington official statement of the plans of continuity of government in the article: “Laws of Takeover”.) There is a “secret government” that is hiding and waiting for takeover—even with a President and Cabinet. Preparatory plans! Yet, the American public goes on as usual. I have been gathering information on the planned escape of government leaders into the underground cities, or to places like Norway or Petra, for a long time. They won’t tell you until it is too late, but the Bible has been telling you. Father’s Spirit is faithful to show those diligent ones what is to come—those who study the Bible with the Author. He reveals secrets to His set-apart ones that are, like the Apostle John, close to Him through obedience. Revelation chapter 8, and Isaiah chapter 10, 13 and 24 are just a few chapters that talk about the return of `Planet X’—perhaps the “Wormwood” of Revelation 8. NASA has renamed it and told us about it a few years ago, making nothing of it. The return of Planet X is also connected in part to the Mayan calendar ending, which declares that on December 21, 2012, the end of an age will come, and
Page 7 their god Quetzalcoatl will come from the sky to rule the world. The New Age people believe that a great “convergence” will take place in 2012, and a world ruler will come that will purge the planet of all “negative forces”—meaning Yahuweh’s people. NASA scientists fear 2012 for many reasons: The sun will do a flip, they say-- its polar regions will flip, throwing massive sun flares towards earth—creating the “Solar Maximus”. The planets are supposed to align, and the sun will, for the first time in history, fall through the galaxy from top to bottom. You can find all this out on good ol’ “Google”. But, just remember “Google” is controlled by bad old F.E.M.A.—America’s real secret government who are waiting for the collapse of the presidency so that their plans and the “Quartet” can take over. The Quartet—E.U., U.N. U.S. and Russia--are more powerful than any one single government on earth. Right now F.E.M.A. is biding their time being the good guys who are taking care of disaster victims from disasters that scalar technology has created. It appears that all the G-8 nations, and the 9th one too—China—have underground cities and vaults ready. It appears that Israel does too—the U.N., having taken over Petra, are now doing deep underground excavating. Of course, they know about the “think tank” diseases--created mostly in American and British laboratories--soon to be released in their entirety on the earth’s people, the planned world famine, the giant murdering mutates they have also created by DNA mixing of human and other species, the release of the Nephilim and the coming of the fallen angels, the horror of weather warfare and space warfare that is going to intensify--so they have reason to panic. They openly defy Yahuweh, and He will terrify them to the max at the coming of Messiah Yahushua—Revelation 6:12-17. Mankind will panic, so the world’s government are hiding anything that will cause panic, while they prepare for their own safety.
Luke 21:25-26: “And there shall be signs in the sun, and moon, and stars, and on the earth anxiety of nations, in bewilderment at the roaring of the seas, and agitation, men fainting from fear and the expectation of what is coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken”.
While the Luciferic world leaders under the Vatican Jesuits panic at the potential of the horrors their “think tanks” have devised, and work furiously to preserve themselves and the earth’s food supply, the “the band plays on” in America with entertainment in the sand box, while American citizens chitchat about the latest fashions, the ball game, the job, the kids, and some movie or T.V. show, the latest flu or etc. etc.—you know the routine. Then when people finally begin to wake up and realize their lives are in danger, they will fall apart emotionally and mentally, because they have trusted in man for their security, and not spent the time necessary to learn to walk by faith, holding
Page 8 Father’s hand in dependency and trust. Thus, they have nothing to hold onto but air. (Jeremiah 17:5-9) I know it is hard to believe, but the elite leaders—Lucifer worshippers—bound to get their god on the Temple Mount--are terrified of something that we called our “blessed hope”. Titus 2:13-14: “…looking for that blessed hope and esteemed appearance of the great Elohim and our Savior Yahushua Messiah, who gave Himself for us, to redeem us from all lawlessness (Torah-lessness), and to cleanse for Himself a people for His own possession, ardent for good works”. (Italics mine) In Revelation 6:12-17, we see that the world’s most powerful and wealthy are in caves in the rocks, and terrified of the “wrath of the Lamb” as He comes with the Father’s wrath. In Revelation 19:19, at His coming, we see that the armies of the anti-messiah are posed, ready to shoot Him down along with His hosts. In Revelation 17:14, also, we see that they are positioned to “fight with the Lamb”. From my own personal inside information, I know that the nations of this world have been meeting for a long time to try to figure out how to stop Him from coming back, and to rid the earth of those who believe that He’s coming back. As with China and other nations, it is potentially illegal in America to actively believe that “Jesus”, “Yeshua” or Yahushua is coming back. When I was in Aqaba, Jordan, those 8 years, periodically, the representatives from America’s national security would come to us, pretending to be Christians, to find out if we believed that Jesus was coming back. I found out from an x-National Security man that in fact, they are going all over the world to all ex-pats to find out their beliefs about the “second coming”. In fact, topping F.E.M.A.’s big book of “nonos” that categorize people as potentially harming the government are those who believe in the “second coming”. So, besides their own plans to destroy 95-100% of the earth’s population, and their knowledge of things from space that are beyond their ability to control, they are scanning the heavens for the coming of Messiah. This should cause you who know Him to shout for joy!
“As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man. For as they were in the days before the flood—eating and drinking, marrying and given in marriage---until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be”. (Matthew 24:37-39) I Thessalonians 5:: “But you, brothers, are not in darkness that this Day should overtake you as a thief”.
Noah was told seven days before they were to enter the ark. Yahuweh does nothing in secret for the children of light. (Amos 3:7) He is showing many that we are inside the last seven years before His coming, beginning this year. With no judgment, just sadness and grief, I say that the naïve and/or ignorant who live to satisfy their own fleshly desires, will be surprised when the tidal
Page 9 wave of reality hits and they have no clue as to how to trust a “God” they do not know. Mark 4:25: “For whoever possesses, to him more shall be given; but whoever does not possess, even what he possesses shall be taken away from him”. This, in context, is talking about those who have knowledge from hearing Yahuweh and Yahushua. Those who hear and obey Him get more from Him, more insight, more knowledge, more understanding, more authority-backing, but those who are too lazy to seek Him with all their heart, even their belief- systems will be gone in a flash, when they see reality in its most horrifying state. Martial Law has been in effect since the day after 9/11. The yellow-fringed American flag is the martial law flag. The President was given an addition 550+ Executive Orders on that day. Martial law, a satanic regime of horror, could be put in force if Planet X comes through, if bird flu is released and there is panic, if Russia attacks us (which is not only possible but probable, from Scripture and their maneuvers off our coasts recently), if the “big one” earthquake hits California as predicted by F.E.M.A., or a number of other things. It is all ready in place to go into effect. But, the public will never know the truth about it in full, since they will be confined to their homes until the foreign troops are put in place to patrol us. Matthew 24:21-22, 25: “For then there shall be great distress such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And if the days were not few NO FLESH would be saved, but for the sake of the chosen ones those days shall be shortened”. (Shem Tov Hebrew Matthew) The “few” days refers to the time of the wrath of Yahuweh being poured out as Messiah comes. He comes with the wrath of Yahuweh—see the wording of Revelation 11:15-18, and Isaiah 63:1-6, and hundreds of other passages on His coming, which describe His coming in wrath, and “No flesh” or “few” being saved. (Ask for the two-page study sheet “No Flesh”, and the one page sheet on “Nuclear Holocaust in the Scriptures”) When the tests of reality hit, the unprepared, like those that came out of Egypt under Moses, will run to someone for security, or to self-created security, even if it means returning to slavery, rather than trust a “God” they do not know. Many are in denial right now, running from reality, claiming that nothing will happen to them—that life will go on as usual. But, by this programming the Programmers--the Illuminati elite--have been able to control our thoughts, our actions, our desires, our goals, and our total lives in general, without our knowing about it. The U.S. President has been the head of the world government, and has been since May of 1999—publicly announced on CNN and BBC Europe—I saw it from overseas. But, of course, Americans did not see it, because of the purposed news blackout to us, which has been in effect for over 40 years. We are supposed to stay stupid and controllable. Those who are not controllable by
Page 10 wicked men are on lists as “resisters”, and guilty of “potentially harming the government”. If you are one of “those” then you’d better doubly prepare, especially spiritually, to either endure and overcome, or be a very good martyr and obtain a high reward in His Kingdom. I recommend you read Fox’s Book of Martyrs and get the news magazine of the Voice of the Martyrs—they will prepare you for what is coming. Voice of the Martyrs has a children’s magazine, also, to help prepare your children. Our eternal positions are at stake now. The tragedy is that the “cowardly and fearful” who will throw faith to the wind, will end up in the lake of fire along with all those they fear—Revelation 21:8. In the days to come there will no security from man—zero. (If you’d like to know what the Illuminati has done to us emotionally, mentally and physically, ask for the trilogy of articles: “Mind Programming”, “Quiet Wars and Silent Weapons” and “The Core of the American Syndrome”—especially “Quiet Wars…”, where I quote from the Illuminati’s own manual) Most so-called “believers”—have a belief system that is untested. Many, sad to say, are already beginning to panic and show their immaturity. Just know that we are going to be tested beyond our imagination! The church has told most of us that “God” will take care of us and we don’t need to be concerned about anything. But, they do not know the Hebrew Elohim of the Scriptures, who expects us to grow up and take responsibility and act on our beliefs. If we are in Covenant relationship with Him, then we have our part to do in obedience to that Covenant. There is no salvation without repentance and submission to our Master in humble obedience--that reality is not taught by the church. Luke 14:25-33, Luke 18:28-30; Matthew 10:34-39, Mark 8:31-37 and other such passages are generally not taught by the church—and if it is, it is for the few who want to be “missionaries”. The fastest way to learn to swim is to jump into the 12’ end of a swimming pool with no help. You’ll either swim or drown.. Taking classes in the shallow end takes time. We don’t have that much time left—maybe less than a year before the martial law takes all we have, even our lives if possible. Economic collapse and planned famine, the release of created diseases—all are about to take place in America. Few will be able to handle the economic collapse. But, into the 12’ we are going! If you want to learn faith, get out of the comfort zone, and jump into the 12’ deep end by yourself. You might as well jump in by yourself, and stay calm and peaceful so that you at least tread water, rather than being thrown in by the foreign troops that are in mass in our country, and learn to swim with a gun pointed at you. I’m an American, but my 8 years of living in the Middle East and my seven years in and out of Africa, my years in China, Mongolia, Russia, and other countries, have taught me reality. Those who have prepared, and learned to know Him, and to walk by faith in total dependency on Him as a little child, and learned basic survival skills, will have a good chance of making it through. Our Father wants us to know basic
Page 11 survival skills. When the Roman guards came to arrest Him in the garden, He told Peter that it was time to buy a sword. But, be aware that all your plans, your survival skills, your ministry, your popularity in your circle, will not help you when you have to flee for your life, face the guillotine, the gas chamber, the oven, the firing squad, the mental institution, solitary confinement or whatever torture they want to put you through. All phony spirituality will be out the window. Those that have learned to think in terms of self-denial and have toughened themselves up will keep their sanity and survive. Where did all that good teaching on “death to self” go? Read carefully Romans 6. If we are dead to all but Him, then life and death will fall into their proper order. (I’ve written an article called “Walk the Hard Road”…it is from my own experience with toughening up in the wilderness of southern Jordan for 8 years) We must have the wisdom of good soldiers—who know the enemy and how to thwart the enemy in the power of our General, Yahushua. It takes calm, peaceful, strong faith—knowing Him, knowing His nature, knowing basic survival and wisdom in dangerous situations, knowing how to trust Him, and having His authority to back our proclamations and declarations against the enemy. We gain authority level and clout with the Father by obedience in small things—one day at a time. He has to trust you, as well as your trusting Him! Natural and spiritual preparations are most important—downsizing, simplifying, getting out of debt, letting go of all that psychologically and emotionally ties us down, selling, packing, giving away what is not needed, and hearing Him above all. It is also important to stock up on at least a few months worth of food and water, if you intend to stay where you are. Be aware that “without faith it is impossible to please Him”. (Hebrews 11:6) He won’t and can’t work with a whining, complaining, fearful, spoiled brat, who is in a state of anxiety and panic. Faith and fear cannot mix. Faith in Him is walking in obedience in the light. Fear is walking in unbelief, disobedience and darkness. If you are untested, you don’t know yourself! The tests to come will show you who you are and what you are. All masks will come off quickly. Your true nature will be revealed and your faith-level exposed. (Deuteronomy 8:2-6: He tested them in the wilderness to find out what was in their heart) The “tribulum” will be raked over us over and over, to remove the chaff—those things that cling to us and bind us and make us unfit for His service. The “tribulum”—a Latin word--is a farm instrument that is raked over grain to remove chaff—it is good for us. This is where we get the word “tribulation”. Many who seem “spiritual” now will show themselves to be spiritually naked and undone. Those who appear religious—but are self-righteously proud now-- will find themselves face down in the mud when the horrors hit and they can’t stand the testing.
Page 12 In the days to come those that know how to hear and be led by the Spirit of Yahuweh will survive in dangerous situations. Our human logic and reasoning won’t get us anywhere but dead. Only the Spirit knows how to keep us alive! Only the Spirit can help us be good martyrs. Our Father in His mercy is bringing a few people together who are learning how to survive in all ways in the days to come—as those who are faithful to Yahuweh; we need each other. The “I need my space”, “my things”, “my life” attitude is a killer attitude. Self-centeredness and selfishness is a sign of a bratty child. Mature people lay down their lives for what they believe—like our Master told us—John 15. If there is no “fruit of the re-born spirit”—Galatians 5:22-23—manifested in a person’s life, which comes after repentance, belief in Messiah Yahushua, and embracing of the Covenant of Yahuweh--then there is a good possibility they have just embraced a belief system and little else. Those with the fruit of His nature in their lives, have no problems laying down their lives for others! I encourage you to very carefully read I John chapter 2 and 3, in fact read the whole book—it specifies who is of Him and who is not. Lone sheep will have problems: Dependency on man for our own security, our needs and our own agenda is one thing, but in the days to come unselfish coming together in faith with like believers is very important! (Hebrews 10:25) This is not talking about having church services or large meetings—it is talking about the small set-apart remnant who need to meet regularly to encourage one another. Those who will fall away due to the pressures to come are already showing signs of falling away. These will be the main betrayers of the set-apart ones. It is important to watch and listen and be careful whom you trust! We must lay down our sandbox mentality—the petty fighting over things. It may also be needed that people come together to share supplies, but that takes maturity so that the greedy don’t overcome the others. We need strong, mature Moses types to be raised up to shepherd the people who are suffering. Few will make it alone without fellowship, encouragement, and love from real fellow believers. If we have a weakness, the enemy will find it. Binding together with like-believers who manifest the fruit of the re-born spirit can be lifesaving. The enemy’s discouragement is all too real. Malachi 3:16-4:4 and many other passages to do with the last days, tell us that those who fear Yahuweh and obey His commandments are in His favor. He protects those who fear Him above fearing man. We cannot fear Yahuweh and fear man, mutates, Nephilim, or fallen angels, at the same time. Fear of Yahuweh is a set-apart fear that brings strength, power and authority in His Name. The other type of fear is pathetic weakness that brings total failure. Matthew 10:28: “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both body and soul in Hell”. “Fear” in Hebrew context means: “to be terrified, fearful, dread”. It means that you need to be terrified of displeasing Yahuweh! If the wicked ones of the world are beginning to panic and prepare their
Page 13 vaults and arks, and underground cities, for their survival—we need to take note. Faith in Yahuweh produces the fruit of peace, calm, rest and quiet trust. Anxiety shows we are trying to control something. Peace shows that we are allowing Him to control things. In our preparation, let Him guide. We are to follow and obey. Acting out of emotional upset won’t work—Father can’t help us if we are in that state. The horrors of the days to come will cause many people’s minds to shut down. When this happens, it is only what we have put into our eternal spirit of His Word and His presence that will stabilize us. Isaiah 26:3: “You will keep him in PERFECT PEACE whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You”. Hebrews 11:7: “By faith, Noah, having been warned of what was yet unseen, having feared (Yahuweh,) prepared an ark to save his house, thorough which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.” (Italics mine) It would be a good idea to get by yourself and read Hebrews 11 prayerfully. It talks about real people. It is real people like these that He will protect. (Malachi 3:16-4:4 for example) I close with this: Luke 21:34-36: “And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with gluttony and drunkenness and the cares of this life, so that day will come upon you unawares, for as a snare shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man”. We have a King and a Kingdom coming. Rejoice! Shalom with love, Yedidah February 27, 2008 Page 14

The Shmittah Year Prophecy
In 2000 CE, what is called “The Shmittah Year Prophecy” became the talk in Israel, especially within Orthodox Jewish circles. Before long, Messianic believers were also studying it. The Orthodox religious say that a Scriptural cycle was found 400 years ago in their Scriptures by their sages. This cycle is calculated from the time that Joshua and the Hebrews entered the Land. In calculating the seven year cycle, set in motion by Yahuweh Himself, the sages said that the Rosh ha Shanah—head of the year—(Yom Teruah—Feast of Trumpets) of September 11, 1999 CE, would be the “year that everything changes and the beginning of the judgment of the nations”. The “head of the year” is calculated from creation. Day one of the Hebrew month of Tishre thus began the year 2000 on September 11, 1999 (Roman calendar). The Jews call it the year 5760, from an uncorrected calendar rendering after the “Babylonian captivity”. According to the prophecy, the following Rosh ha Shanah would begin a “Shmittah Year”. On this day, which was September 29, 2000 CE (Roman calendar) they said that a war cycle would start that would not end until Messiah ben David (Messiah, the Son of David) came to deliver them. They considered it the beginning of “Jacob’s troubles”. The “Shmittah Year” is the seventh year of each seven-year cycle, set by Yahuweh, our Father, in which He commands the Land to rest—from Leviticus 25:1-7, Deuteronomy 15:1-4. The word “shmittah” (sh-meet-ah) comes from the Hebrew root “shamot”, which means “to abandon, to leave, to let lie fallow”, and refers to the land being left alone for a year, in order to revitalize it for better harvests. But, it also symbolizes the weekly Shabbat—day of rest--in which humans and animals and all life forms can rest--and the seven-thousandth year of Messiah’s Kingdom, which brings us into eternal rest. Obeying His instructions for the smittah year is so important that Yahuweh sent the house of Judah into captivity in Babylon for seventy years for punishment for not keeping the smittah year for 490 years. (II Chronicles 36:20-21) The “Shmittah Year” will again occur on Rosh ha Shanah, Yom Teruah, of 2007 CE (sunset September 12th-sunset September 13th)--Roman calendar--beginning the seventh year of the seven-year cycle we are in now.
Page 1 This date on the creation calendar begins the year 2008. The new seven-year cycle will begin on Rosh ha Shanah of 2008 CE (Roman calendar) or 2009, Tishre 1, Hebrew calendar. In the meantime, Jews are still looking for Messiah ben Yoseph (the suffering servant). To their great joy, both will come as the same Person, to catch them up on what they’ve been missing for the last 1,970 years, and to bring them a Kingdom on earth, in which the Torah will be the rule of the Law of Heaven over the earth. Messiah ben Yoseph/Messiah ben David (same Person) will open the fountain of cleansing for the House of David, and forgive their sins, and restore them to right-standing with Yahuweh, put His Word in their hearts, join them with the House of Israel, and together they will be one stick in His hand forever—HalleluYAH! (Zechariah 12-14 and Ezekiel 36 and 37) We join in spirit with the Orthodox Jews in their great expectation for the coming of Messiah. We pray for the remnant of the children of Jacob (all the tribes) who will receive Him with joy, as “they look upon Him whom they pierced and mourn for Him”. Their mourning will turn to joy as they receive their Savior, Redeemer, Messiah, High Priest and King. Oh the joys of fulfilled prophecy! We remember that Rosh ha Shanah, September 29, 2000 was the day after Prime Minister Ariel Sharon came up on the Temple Mount with some friends, and a major Intafada (Arab uprising) began. He went up on the Temple Mount and read Ezekiel 37—the chapter that so powerfully tells of the restoration of the whole house of Jacob—all the twelve tribes. On the day Sharon went onto the Temple Mount, the stored rocks were already there for the purpose of the Arabs to throw at Sharon and his friends, for the Intafada to begin, leading to Jihad (Holy War) had been planned to start that day. It was NO coincidence! This “war cycle” did indeed begin that day, and it has not stopped, nor will it stop, until Messiah ben David--son of David--comes. Father’s plans move in various set cycles. Some cycles are seven years, forty years, fifty years, three and one half years, 390 years, 483 years, or 490 years. Leviticus 25 gives us the cycles of Jubilee, with its seven seven-year cycles, ending in the 50th year of Jubilee. Billye Brim is a Christian Bible teacher who has spent much time in Israel. In her teaching on the “Judgment on the Nations”, she tells of hearing this
Page 2 “Shmittah Year Prophecy” in May of 2001, while eating a falafel in Mea Shearim in the Ultra-Orthodox area of Jersualem. She was in Israel, and had been hearing about this prophecy from many people. A Rabbi came up to her table and began talking to her, even though she told him she was one of those that believed that Yeshua was the Messiah. He confirmed what she had heard about this prophecy. He said that September 11, 1999 was called “the day that everything changes” and that on the next Rosh ha Shanah—September 29, 2000, a war cycle would begin that would continue until Messiah ben David came. Billye went to check this out with her friend, Chaim Richmond, who heads the Temple Institute in Jerusalem. He confirmed what the Rabbi told her, adding regarding September 11, 1999: “It is the day that the final judgment on the nations begins”. September 13, 2007, is the day of the final release of the house of Ephraim (the ten northern tribes), whose final scattering was in 722 BCE. The smittah year is the year of “Yahuweh’s release”. Ezekiel 4:4-5 tells us they would be punished 390 years for their sin, yet Leviticus 26:14-25 tells us that this punishment would be multiplied by seven. Thus, their punishment, being banished into all nations AMONG the gentiles and losing their identity as to their Hebrew roots, would be 2,730 years. That puts the end of their punishment in its finality at sunset September 12, 2007. This is very fascinating, but there is more to confirm that this was not just some wild prediction of religious Rabbinical Jews. I’ve been collecting information for years from world government leaders, from true Word-based prophets who have had dreams and visions and rhemas, and from the details of the Word, history and current events, that show that the years 2007-2008 will be years of great world upheaval that will lead to the rise of a world ruler. March 26, 2004, Prince Hasan of Jordan said: “I’m afraid the making of World War III is actually taking place in front of our eyes”. Truly, as I’ve stated in my article, “The Creation of Chaos”, the making of World War III has been planned since 1871, as was World War I and World War II, in order to create enough chaos, so that the world ruler would come to the Temple Mount, thus ushering in the last three and one half years before
Page 3 Messiah comes to rescue us all. Messiah said Himself, that unless He shortened those days, “no flesh will be saved”. (Matthew 24: The sages who discovered this “prophecy”, actually were correctly calculating the cycles of Yahuweh, beginning their calculations from the time of Joshua, when they first began setting aside the Land-rest years. In 2000, the Father spoke to me to go to the island of Patmos no later than September 29, 2000. He told me that on that date I was to be in the cave where John received the Revelation, and to prophesy/declare the opening of the seven seals of Revelation 6. I was to declare Revelation 5:1-chapter 6:1 into the earth—also representing the Bride of Messiah to call for the Bridegroom’s coming. I didn’t know why September 29, 2000 was so important—He didn’t tell me that. I knew it was the end of the Oslo Accord, and the beginning of the seven thousandth year since creation, and 2001 on the Hebrew calendar. But, instead of putting that as my priority, which I should have because He has sent me on many strategic assignments to declare His will into the earth, I went on to Africa for the summer to minister, as I had for the previous seven years. I came back to Jordan with malaria--again. I was weak and sick, and unable to go to Patmos when He told me to go. I have since learned, that when He gives me an assignment to “stand in the gap” and to proclaim and declare His will into the earth—that it is my primary assignment and I must guard it with my life and not to let other things get in my way of fulfilling His will. Anyway, I didn’t go—with great regret. I repented, but heard no soothing: “That’s OK”, from Him. It was not OK. Powerful declaration and proclamation of His Word must be done on site—not from a comfortable easy chair of one’s choosing. Prayer can be done anywhere, and prayerful intercession, but He sends some on assignments to go to the site where He wants His Word called into the earth. I remember hearing of a man who was in America, who was told by Father to go to Berlin, Germany, back before the Berlin Wall came down, and lay his hand on the Berlin Wall and command it to come down. He obeyed. Then he asked Father what else he was supposed to do, and Father told him, “Now go home to America”. Our job is to obey. I returned from America in late April of 2001. He had told me to buy a travel
Page 4 guide for the Greek Isles. The Lonely Planet travel series had just put one out. I bought it, though I was not happy about spending approximately $18.00 on something I thought I’d never use. Father never told me why I had to buy the book, just that I had to buy it. I’m obedient, most of the time. When I got back to Aqaba, I was preparing to teach the Torah reading for the week on May 3rd. As I prepared, He showed me some revelation on why I still had to go to Patmos. It was shocking Revelation that once He sends forth His Word into the earth, it does not return to Him void. Then He clearly said to me— unmistakablely His voice—“I want you to be on Patmos on May 11th”. (My 50th spiritual birthday of being born again was on May 14, 2001). The only way I could be on Patmos on such short notice was to go by the information in the Lonely Planet travel book. I was on Patmos on May 11th. On May 12th and 14th, I went into the cave where John received the Revelation. On May 12th, He gave me the most astounding revelation from Revelation 5:1-6:1—about why John wept. John represented the Bridal remnant. Unless the seals were opened and the tribulum was released, the Bride would forever be waiting at the altar. The “tribulum” from where we get “tribulation”, is a farm instrument which separates wheat from chaff. This 3 ½ year time-frame is the time of the pressure that our loving Father will put on all mankind to separate out the true set-apart ones--the wheat--from the chaff--the wicked. He gives mankind one last chance to submit to Him, before the final wrath must be poured out at the end of the time of tribulation. I sat in that cave and journaled for two hours about what He showed me regarding why John wept. On May 14th, I was there to represent the Bride and to call for the Bridegroom to come. The anointing in that cave was overwhelming, as His presence filled it. Though I fulfilled Part II of I disagreeignment on Patmos, I look at regret that I did not guard His will for me, so was not on Patmos for the proclamation of the opening of the seals. But, I know for sure that on that Tishre 1--September 29, 2000 on the Roman calendar--that the seals of the Revelation scroll were opened, and the horseman began to ride. The seals have to be broken in order for the rest of the scroll to unfold. And since September 29, 2000, the scroll has definitely been unsealed and rolled out. In Revelation 6:8, we see information that is rarely reported: The four “horsemen of the
Page 5 Apocalypse” only ride over one-fourth of the earth. It is now happening in the Middle East and parts of Africa. From ancient Jewish writings, Rabbis have said that the first seven years of the seven thousandth year since creation is the time in which the earth is purged of the wicked during much tribulation, and the set-apart ones are preserved. Men from before Messiah’s first coming and for over 1,000 years after He came, have said that Messiah would come in the early part of the seven thousandth year from creation. The end of the last Shmittah year (Rosh ha Shanah of 2001 CE) marked the beginning of the 7,000th year from creation, and the beginning of the “third day”--Hosea 6:1-3-- from the coming of Messiah Yahushua the first time. In the third day—as per Exodus 19--the Spirit of Yahuweh descended onto Mt. Sinai, and revealed the terms of His marriage covenant with His people. The people at Sinai were commanded to prepare for the third day by cleansing themselves. The word now is: “REPENT (MAKE T’SHUVAH) FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS NEAR”. This is why, from ancient times rabbis before Messiah’s first coming, as well as Messianic believers since His first coming, have known that the cycles and prophecies (Genesis 6:3, II Peter 3:8 and Psalm 90:4) referred to the end of the age as we know it to come at the beginning of the seven thousandth millennium from creation. Messianic prophetic books, found at Qumran, also tell of Messiah’s coming in the seven-thousandth millennium. The Essenes of Qumran believed that there would be one Messiah who was Elohim, who would come first as a suffering servant, and second as the conquoring King. They based their beliefs on Scripture alone, like Isaiah 53. In cannoizing the Tenach, Rabbi Akiva, the founder of Rabbinical Judaism, left those writings out of the cannon purposely, for they would have proved Messiah Yahushua to be the One. He almost left the book of Daniel out, relegating it to the “writings” along with Ezra and Nehemiah, for Daniel 9:24-27 tells us exactly when Messiah, the suffering servant, came. (For careful study of this passage, ask for the article The Three Levels of Daniel 9:24-27) Noah died in 2007 BCE, so it has been calculated. We are in the days of Noah once again. Page 6
Hosea 6:2: “After two days He shall revive us, on the third day He shall raise us up, so that we live before Him. So…let us pursue to know Yahuweh, His going forth is as certain as the morning. And He comes to us like the rain, like the latter rain watering the earth.” The Hebrew Tenach in English, translated from the Hebrew, verse two, is even clearer: “In two days He will make us whole again (speaking of the Messiah who came to die and rise again to make us all whole again); In the third day He shall raise us up (the resurrection) and we shall be whole by His favor”. (This speaks of the salvation of all Israel, as He pours out His spirit on them!) (Italics mine) It is the time preceding the coming of the Kingdom of Messiah to earth, some Jewish leaders also say that man has been given six thousand years, but that the six thousand years did not begin from the first day of creation, but began with the creation of Adam in the sixth day, thus adding six years to the six thousand years. In Genesis 6:3 we read that Yahuweh’s Ruach (Spirit) will only strive with man for 120 years. Hebraic understanding is that this is 120 Jubilee years. That is six thousand years, since a Jublilee year is every 50th year (Leviticus 25)—120 X 50= 6,000. Creation Scientists have clearly shown that the planet earth we live on is no more than six thousand years old—now moving into its seven thousandth year. There is no solid scientific evidence that can prove it to be older than this! Now for more confirmation regarding September 29, 2000: I was reading a little book by Richard Honorof, a Messianic Jew from Israel, entitled Revealing the Mysteries of the Melchi Zadok Priesthood. On Page 38, he begins telling about twenty-seven people, himself included, who were led by the Ruach Yahuweh—the Spirit of the Father--to go walk on Shabbat (September 30, 2000, at 2:00PM) from the end of the Hinnon Valley at the Mt. Zion Hotel to the Kidron Valley at the Gihon springs. Seven were dressed as priests, and took seven silver trumpets, a shofar, and a flask of anointing oil. Over the waters of the Gihon, as in the days when Samuel anointed Solomon there, they poured oil over the shofar and then blew all the trumpets proclaiming Yahushua (Yeshua—the Salvation of Yahuweh the Father) as Messiah and the new King of Israel. Richard said that at that time, he believed that what took place on that day “Yeshua used for beginning His end-time ministry”. On His wedding day,
Page 7 Messiah will be crowned King, and His Bride crowned Queen. They will make their residency on the hill just above the Gihon Springs in the City of David. I agree with Richard that He did indeed begin His end-time work on that Rosh ha Shanah, preparing for His coming. His last days ministry includes the regathering of the twelve tribes of Israel (Jacob) from all over the earth, and the separating out and marking of the Bridal remnant for her final preparation for His coming--those who will be alive and remain at His coming. He is separating now the wicked from the righteous, and calling the house of Israel back to their roots in the Torah, back to repentance, back to the Father, back home to His Land. He is also orchestrating the plans of Lucifer (Isaiah 14:13-15) for the final fulfillment of His prophecies regarding the setting up the time of tribulation and the rule of “anti-messiah” (world ruler) for 3 ½ years. Yahuweh is tying up loose ends using Lucifer’s world elite leaders, as He sits in the heavens and laughs…see Psalm 2. After 2007, His plans to reunite the whole house of Jacob (all the tribes) can commence without punishment hanging over His people. They are released from their captivity on a shmittah year! II Thessalonians 5 tells us that we are NOT children of darkness, so that “the day” will overtake us as a thief in the night. (I Thessalonians 5) We are children of light, and friends of Messiah if we obey His commands. (John 15:14) Many are beginning to see the reality of the finalities. Many Scriptures describe nuclear world holocaust in detail, and tell us that “no flesh will be saved”. Messiah will have His remnant--some flesh will be saved--thanks to His overwhelming mercy! (Matthew 24:21-25) Arthur Spier, a world famous Jewish authority, in his book The Comprehensive Jewish Calendar speaks of the Jubilee cycle: “The 50-year cycle, or the Yobel (Jubilee) years were counted, according to Maimonides, as long as the Temple was in existence. Every 15th and 65th year in each century of the world era are Yobel years, and the intermediary years represent the seven cycles of the shmittah years…Jubilee years, according to this reckoning, began in the autumn of 1815, 1865, 1915, 1965, 2015.” According to Maimonides, the next Jubilee year will commence on Yom Kippur of 2015 Hebrew calendar (Tishre 1, September/October Gregorian calendar 2014). However, Maimonides gave room for himself to be off a little. We know
Page 8 that on September 12th sunset, we enter Tishre 1, and 2008 on the Hebrew calendar—a “shmittah year”. The next cycle of seven doesn’t begin until Tishre 1, 2009 (2008 September/October Gregorian calendar). So the shmittah year we are about to enter covers September 12, 2007 sunset, until the next Tishre 1, September 30th 2008, beginning 2009 Hebrew calendar. So, if you calculate to the next shmittah year after this one, you find that it begins Tishre 1, 2015 Hebrew calendar. This means that the Jubilee year would then begin on Yom Kippur of 2016 Hebrew calendar (Sept/Oct. 2015 Roman calendar). We will have to wait and see what transpires won’t we? But, if Maimonides is wrong, he’s only wrong by a year. According to the Orthdox Jews and their writings on the Torah, the Jubilee year can only be celebrated when a remnant of all the tribes have returned to the Land. They are now excited that this return is beginning with a small remnant. The Orthodox Jews say, and the Torah-observant believers know, that when Messiah comes He will restore the twelve tribes—the whole house of Jacob—at the resurrection. But, before that—there will be a representative number of each tribe doing exploits in the earth—a remnant that is marked and sealed (Revelation 7:1ff and 14:1ff). A year of Jubilee is the only year that begins on the 10th of Tishre as per Leviticus 25. The Jubilee years are actually traceable, going back to the last Scripturally recorded Jubilee year in Ezekiel 40:1. The Jubilee year is the only year that begins on Yom Kippur—the 10th of Tishre. The next Jubilee will begin Yom Kippur, 2016, at the end of a shmittah year—2015. It has long been believed that Messiah would come on a Jubilee. This is reasonable because He comes to set His people free from the wicked of Lucifer’s kingdom, and to free the earth for His people—Revelation 11:15-19. While the Aviv calendar of Exodus 12:3 is our lifestyle for following the plan of salvation from beginning to end, as per Leviticus 23, and the seven festival’s fulfillments in Messiah Yahushua, still the Tishre calendar marking creation’s time, meshes with the Exodus calendar to show us where we are on the timing of the world—from creation. By the Tishre calendar, we realize we are within the seven thousandth year from creation. On the Exodus 12:3 calendar, which is our lifestyle, we realize that the next Fesitival to be fulfilled by Messiah is His second coming on a Tishre 1—the Feast of Trumpets. Page 9 Some Bible scholars, and the New Age believers in general, are watching carefully the orbit of “Planet X”—the new publically announced (January 2006) tenth planet in our solar system, which is due to pass close to our orbit in 2012. This planet has been photographed and tracked for a long time—a semi-guarded secret. But, this is NOT sci-fi. According to scientific investigation, the last time it passed through was about the time that the contintents divided, as per Genesis 10:25. The powerful pull of this planet, with its odd-shaped orbit, does indeed match the detailed prophetic writings of Isaiah and other Scripture—about the earth shaking almost out of its orbit. The Mayan Calendar has the world ending on December 21, 2012. But, scientists say that is not accurate. We know that the world will not end. The New Age believers are waiting for the purging of the planet of all who send off negative vibrations (people who resist their take-over), as we enter “The Age of Aqarius” in 2012. At this point, we must use our time to prepare, for the days are short, and Messiah will return soon, no matter how you calculate it. If we walk out, as our lifestyle, the calendar of the Father’s appointments (His moed’im), then, of course, those times and season are the Festivals of Leviticus 23 will be a light to our path. We know that the Savior can only come on the Feast of Trumpets, Tishre 1. Therefore as we walk in the “tracks of righteousness”--the seven Festivals of Yahuweh of Leviticus 23--which is what Psalm 23:3 is saying—“the paths of righeousness”, we are led by Him for His Name’s sake. We we can surely know the progress of our redemption, for our Father does NOTHING unless He first tells His servants (who guard His Kingdom Instructions and Teachings—The Torah) the prophets what He is about to do—Amos 3:7. He doesn’t want us ignorant—He wants us prepared and ready for Him when that shofar blows at the “last trump”—II Corinthians 15:51-54; Revelation 11:15-18. The Oslo Acccord, the “Covenant of death”—Isaiah 28--began at a Rosh ha Shanah, September 13, 1993. It was a seven-year treaty. Therefore it officially ended on Rosh Ha Shanah September 19, 2000. The Oslo Accord, the Road Map and the Arab Initiative are all about implimenting the United Nations resolution of 1947 to create a Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as the world’s international captiol and center of politics and religion. In the carving up of His Land, it leaves Israel indefensible. It was called “The Final Solution”—same words Hitler used explain the exterminate of six million Jews. Of course the
Page 10 world leaders knew that there would not be peace, but only chaos. The third part of the Mazzini/Pike plan of 1871, for the third world war, was to pit Arabs and Jews against each other to clear the Land for the anti-messiah and a lawless state. The idea is to produce chaos, for an excuse to bring the world ruler to power. The motto of the Illuminati is: “Out of chaos, order”. (Look at the Latin phrase on the U.S. dollar bill). That is why we’re seeing the purposed chaos taking place, especially in the Middle East. (For more information about what will take place this September 11th sunset to September 13th sunset, refer to my articles “The Forty-Eight Hour Transition”) THE THREE SETS OF SEVEN: 1) The Oslo Accord: September 13, 1993--a Yom Teruah beginning a shmittah year--to September 29, 2000 and 2) the time of transition from September 29, 2000--a Yom Teruah beginning a shmittah year--to September 13, 2007, and 3) the last cycle of Daniel’s 70th “week” of seven years—September 13, 2007--a Yom Teruah beginning a shmittah year--to Yom Teruah beginning a smittah year—2015. At the end of the last shmittah year, ten days into 2016--Yom Kippur—our Messiah will return. Am I dogmatic about this? NO—so don’t label me as a date-setter. But, at this point, I have peace. We will know more as the time approaches! I do find it fascinating, however, that the confirmation regarding this timing is coming strongly, and so we must ALL hear from the Spirit for ourselves as we make preparations to be “found in Him at His appearing”. And so I strongly believe that we are about to enter, at sunset September 12th Israel time, into the final seven years before Messiah’s coming. Please refer to: “The Forty-Eight Hour Transition” for more specifics. This is being confirmed by many scholars of the Hebrew Scriptures, as well as by “the witness” of the Spirit of Yahuweh. There is a man who has been in Christian ministry for most of his life, who was walking out on his farm in Tennessee in March of 2007. He looked up and saw a vision of storm clouds coming, and the date September 12, 2007 in the sky. The Father instructed him to go back to his house and write down: September 12, 2007, 12:00, in Jerusalem. He put his own spin on it regarding America, but the date was for Jerusalem. It is the time that the world’s clock goes into September 13th. He is announcing the great forty-eight hour transition to His people by His calenar, and to the world by theirs. He is good to us all! The first of these three seven-year periods matches the good years of
Page 11 Pharaoh’s dream (Genesis 41:1-32). From September 13, 1993 to September 29, 2000, the world had the best seven years economically the world has ever seen—continuing into the seven transition years. We are finishing seven years of mixture--good and bad--years of transition from September 29, 2000 to this point in time (which at the writing of this is September 2007), in which the enemy has greatly set up his plans for the final thrust against Israel and the world. Now we are entering the last seven years pictured in the second dream of Pharaoh, in which the east wind (“Kadima” in Hebrew) will blow upon the land of Israel and the world will go into chaos--and the anti-messiah, the world ruler, will come. The word “anti” does not mean against as much as it means “in the place of”—he will come in the role of a messiah. (Compare with Genesis 41:15-32 for greater revelation). Former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon created the Kadima party—the “forward” party—but in Biblical Hebrew it means the “forward-blowing east wind”—the destroying wind. As of now, under Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, Kadima has become a disaster for Israel. He and his government leaders, dedicated to the world ruler, are taking orders from the world government (established May 1999 publically announced on CNN and BBC--everywhere but in America), whose head is America. The seven years of the Oslo Accord began on September 13, 1993. On March 13, 1997, exactly 3 ½ year into the seven-year treaty of death, it was stopped by an Arab uprising on the Temple Mount. This was a picture of the anti-messiah, who will take power as the world ruler and stop “that which is continual” in the “middle of the week”, setting himself up as god to be worshipped. In the Spring of 1996, Jim Searcy reports, that the government of Israel began to let two Jews at a time go up on the Temple Mount to pray. The “Temple Mount Faithful” continued to do what King David did during the forty years when the Ark was under the pavillion in a tent behind his house—called “the Tabernacle of David”. The morning and evening sacrifices of Exodus 29:38-46 were done as prayers with worship and praise during that time—with no animal sacrifces—so say Jewish historians. Faithfully for about two years, these prayers were made—until March 13, 1997, when the Jews had to make a hasty escape due to the rioting of Muslims on the Mount. The Jews, after that, were prohibited from going up on the Mount to continue “that which is continual”.
Page 12 Traditional Evangelical eschatology has taught that the anti-messiah would put an end to world turmoil and initially come in as a man of peace. That would end the “war cycle”. But, that is not the case, if one thoroughly reads the Word without demoninational glasses on. He is tormented constantly by wars and world problems. There is no peace during the reign of anti-messiah, nor does any reign of peace come before he sets up his “abomination that makes desolate”. Looking at Daniel 8, we see that he arises as a man “fierce of face”. Oh yes, he uses deception, lies, flattery, and even signs and wonders, to get to power, but isn’t that typical of politicians in general? Therefore, we will have war and famine, poverty, disease, a world police state, and all sorts of death, until Messiah delivers us totally from it all. Let us concentrate on the good news of His Kingdom on earth! Let us be daily involved in spreading the “Good news of the Kingdom”—which is, from Matthew 4:17, “MAKE T’SHUVAH”—REPENT, RETURN. From Elul 1- Yom Kippur is the time of T’shuvah—the time that we prepare ourselves for His coming, by repentance and returning to the Covenant of the Father through the blood of Messiah Yahushua. This is our message—we must be busy about our Father’s business in spreading this message! I end my comments here. I give you two articles—below: The first one is from Jim Bramlett’s website and explains a lot about the Shmittah year and cycles. In the second article, an Orthodox Jew, writing in June of 2005, pleads with his fellow American Jews to return to the Land as soon as possible, for the fifth year of this cycle is to end with Rosh ha Shanah 2006 CE, and the sixth year of the seventh year cycle to begin. I include it because I am captivated by the genuine pleading of this Orthodox Jew who realizes that our time before Messiah ben David is short, and he is pouring out his heart. With the Ruach we call out: “COME YAHUSHUA, COME!” Shalom and love -- with excited anticipation, Yedidah February 14, 2006 Revised with additional information: October 2007

APPENDIX A
This article is taken from Jim Bramlett’s website: Dear friends: The confluence of similar prophetic information from unrelated sources is a source of fascination to me, and also an indication of probable confirmation of that information. On a J.R. Church video, he reveals the following 13th century Jewish commentary regarding the 20th century: "And all the children of Israel will assemble in their various places until the completion of the century..... The children of Ishmael will at the same time rouse all the people of the world against Jerusalem." It is intriguing that over 700 years ago someone would predict that the nation of Israel would be reestablished in the 20th century, Jews worldwide would be returning to the land, and that at the completion of the century the Arabs effort to rouse the world against Israel would intensify, as it did beginning with the Palestinian Intifida on Sept. 29, 2000. Keep this in mind as I recall previous information below that I have posted: 1. On November 2, 2003, I reported that over 40 years ago, in 1958-1959, Dr. James Brooks' grandmother told him that biblical judgment would begin sometime after the year 2000. She told him that a sign that judgment was beginning would be when a large building in New York City was destroyed by people from a Muslim country, which happened September 11, 2001. 2. On July 18, 2002, I reported the following from Bible teacher Billye Brim: "When I went to my Jewish source in Israel, he reminded me again that SEPTEMBER 11, 1999, WAS THE YEAR EVERYTHING CHANGED AND THE BEGINNING OF THE JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS". "He told us that according to the sages and the Oral Tradition, once "the year everything changes occurs," a war will start on the next Shmittah year following that, beginning a war cycle. "After this war cycle is completed" -- his eyes lit up as he spoke -- "it is the year of Meshiach ben-David" (Messiah, Son of David)! (The shmittah year" is a sabbatical year according to Leviticus 25:1-4.) "In September 2000, the next Shmittah year after September 1999, war began. We were witnesses to this fact as Ariel Sharon went to the Temple Mount to pray and Arafat declared jihad ("Holy War") the following day. This was the beginning of the "war cycle" just as the sages had predicted. "On September 11, 2001, terrorism struck our nation. Now the United States is in a war. 3. On July 25, 2001, I reported that in his June 2001 newsletter, Hebrew archeologist and researcher Vendyl Jones wrote: "This is the Jewish year 5761 or CE 2000-2001. On Rosh Hashanah, the present Amalek crisis began. That very date is the beginning of the Shmittah (Sabbatical) year. This is the seventh Shmittah (Sabbatical) year since the founding of the State of Israel in 1948." By Amalek crisis, he means Intifada, or uprising of the sons of Amalek. His words that the present year 2001 is the "seventh Sabbatical year" since Israel was born caught my eye. I called Jones and asked him how he came up with that. He said, "I didn't. The rabbis did." He explained that they do not count from 1948 but that they continuously count from the time of Joshua and the first Sabbatical year (Leviticus 25:1-7). He said that according to the rabbis, 1952 was the first Sabbatical year after 1948, and 2001 is the seventh. (The difference in 2000 and 2001 as the Shmittah, or sabbatical, year could be reconciled by the fact that the year on the Hebrew calendar overlaps both.) 4. On March 27, 2001, I shared a report I had seen that rabbis in Israel had concluded that the 2000 Intifida began "the time of Jacob's trouble," referred to in Jeremiah 30:7. The declaration was reportedly signed by 27 of the leading Orthodox and Chassidic sages. Bible scholars believe that "the time of Jacob's trouble" is the same as end-time judgment. 5. The modern-day Bible-believing church age began when Martin Luther broke away from the false Catholic church and nailed his biblical thesis to the church door. This was on October 31, 1517. In Daniel we read about a 483-year period in Jewish history before the 1st Coming of Christ. Could God also have given a similar 483-year period to the Church before the final countdown? If you count 483 years from 1517, you arrive in the year 2000, the time frame we are discussing. JEWISH YEAR 5760: We learn that September 11, 1999 (which began year 5760) "was the year everything changed and the beginning of the judgment of the nations." There were many things pointing to year 5760 as one of the most important times in history; for example: First, with this year, according to credible scholars we may have an unprecedented confluence of three of the most profound events in all history: (1) the end of the sixth millennial days of creation and beginning if the seventh; (2) the end of the second millennial day since Christ's birth and the beginning of the third; and (3), the Jubilee year (50th anniversary) of Israel officially declaring Jerusalem its capital on January 23, 1950, and shortly after Israel's own Jubilee year, both no doubt of great prophetic significance. 2. Second, the following, which came to me from various sources, seems amazing: The gematria, or letter/number equivalents of the Hebrew language, for the words SIX DAYS multiplies to 5760 and also the words THIRD DAY multiplies to 5760 (both with extra zeros). The statistical improbability of such an outcome must be astronomical. 3. Creation was in six days. Six days X 24 hours = 144 hours. If these six days were a type of the 6,000-year earth lease, and assuming 1 hour = 1generation, and 1 generation = 40 years, we have 144 X 40 = 5760! 4. Verse number 5760 in the Hebrew Bible is Deuteronomy 32:7:"Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations." But that's not all: This verse exactly follows 50 verses from Deuteronomy 30:5 which speaks of Israel's rebirth in 1948, and the year 5760 exactly follows 50 years from Israel's rebirth! This is truly amazing. 5. Israel, the "fig tree" of Matthew 24:32, "put forth its leaves" in the June 1967 miracle six-day war by acquiring the Golan Heights, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and Jerusalem, also a fulfillment of Luke 21:24. Jesus said the generation that saw this would not pass away until "all these things have happened." June 1967 was Jewish year 5727. If a generation is 40 years, then 5727 + 40 = 5767 (which coincides with A.D. 2007). Year 5767 minus seven years (possibly Daniel's 70th week) = 5760.
APPENDIX B
From the End of Days website—by Dov Bar-Leib Written: June 2005 This blog is in response to a few letters that I have received lately. Some correctly fretted about the lack of resources to make aliyah or even to make an expensive trip to Israel this summer to help bring Mashiach ben Yosef. Others simply disagreed, simply suggesting that the avodah to stop the disengagement is just as appropriate from America as it is from here. Here is my response: You are right. It is very difficult here to live amongst the klipot (husks of spiritual impurity) that want Klal Yisrael to self-destruct. America was by an large founded by G-dly men inspired to do his will (as long as it did not get in the way of America making money). Nevertheless, for the vast majority, the American Citizens' Club was rightfully blessed at the End of this Age. This blessing, sadly, has reached its end. The choice is stark: A cheap oil based economy which is disintegrating as the price of oil slowly (soon to be more quickly) bankrupts America and makes it a prisoner to someone else's foreign policy (the Saudis for example) on one hand or G-d's promise of a dew based economy (where our sustenance only comes from the mouth of G-d) here in the Holy Land on the other hand. The turn over from one world order to the holier one according to Rav Kaduri and the Vilna Gaon and the gemorrah in Sanhedrin is a seven year process which began with Gog W.'s invasion of Afghanistan on Hoshana Raba in the first year of the shmittah cycle in 5762 (2001), right after Sept. 11th. The oil-based economies at the end of this process will be destroyed because of their marriage to Basemath the daughter of Ishmael (See my blog: 6 Million for Makhtzit haShekel). The G-d blessed economy here will become more apparent with the rise of MBY (Mashiach ben Yosef), G-d willing by Rosh HaShana of this year. The attempted destruction of Gush Katif and Jewish communities in the Shekhem/ Jenin corrider (the road to Dothan) will be the backdrop of the hopefully peaceful revolution that will take place here. We expect total economic isolation when that revolution occurs at the hands of the oil-based Edomite economies. This isolation will be the healthiest thing that the Jewish people has experienced for 2000 years. We will be totally dependent upon His (G-d's) benevolent Hand, not on the largesse of the corrupt gentile world. (Note: This does not mean, of course, that the righteous gentile world does not have a significant role in the Ge'ulah. Of course they do!) There will be a spiritual revolution here in the 5th year of the Shmittah cycle (he’s writing in June of 2005—italics Yedidah’s), just as the Gemorrah in Sanhedrin says that there should be. Don't you want to participate in it? At least come here this summer to participate in the events of the summer. Ask your rabbi. Get a p'sak. "Should I just stay in America and daven?" "Should I come to the middle of some busy intersection in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv to say Tehillim with hundreds?" "Should I go to Gush Katif, as a guest in someone's home and do the same or as a guest in the still open Gush Katif hotel (The Palm Beach (Hof Dekalim) Hotel next to Neve' Dekalim) to do the same, to say Tehillim with thousands?" Keep in mind if your Rav answers you to stay in America and daven, when you have the time and the resources to come now, you may be left holding your Chafetz Chaim travel bag[1] when you could have been here to observe the ge'ulah with your kavod, your possessions that G-d gave you to serve him. Come when your dollars will get you here with your possessions. Why wait until America falters, for when that happens you may not get here with your kavod!! Also keep in mind that living here has to be your choice not your Rav's choice. I would suggest that speaking to a Rav here in the Holy Land will help guide your decision about where to settle. Most Rabbaim in Chu"l (outside the Land of Israel) are ill-equipped at this time to advise you on where to settle, and they themselves will admit this and will refer you to a Rav in Israel to get started. When I, the writer of this blog, made Aliyah, believe me I asked my Rav, and his response was simple after he investigated the preliminaries such as our financial situation. He asked, "Do you believe that your avodat HaShem will be enhanced by moving to Eretz Yisrael?" My answer was yes. My question to all readers: "Are you sure that you can live in America under the protection and blessing of a government of kindness, knowing the cruelty of pressure to not respond to the murderers and terrorists amongst our enemies exists in order to keep the price of oil as low as possible?" “Can you stomach that quandary that your “prosperous” lifestyle in America comes at the cost of Jewish blood in the Holy Land?” I personally became physically ill from the beginning of the Al Aksa Intafada until I left America because I understood the gravity of this quandary. It slapped me in the face that it was G-d himself giving every Jew including yours truly a choice. I knew from the outset that this was the quandary of the spiritual battle of Gog and Magog. Did I want my personal prosperity to continue to come at the expense of the quality of life and life itself here in the Holy Land. From my birth until the onset of the Al Aksa Intafada I had never faced such a daunting question. The interesting thing, though, is that every Jew who has enough savings to get started here has the same daunting question facing him or her. This is the ultimate bekhol meodecha question. Remember according to the Chofetz Chaim, WW1 was a service bechol levavcha (a choice of the heart between Judaism and Bolshevism and a choice not to speak lashon hara (gossip), another Avodah of the heart.) WW2 was a service bechol nafshekha (with all of your lives). Here the Creator made the choice easy. For those who perished, He in his infinite Understanding of the end of the matter, did not give them a choice. But alas, we of the last Gog Umagog War have a choice. Please for G-d’s sake Come with Kavod!!! If you have the resources, come now. Support Nefesh B’Nefesh and organization which helps Jews make Aliyah who do not quite have the resources to do so. Help your fellow Jew get out of debt if you can so that he can come too. If the resources just are not there yet, form a club of others in your position. Have Nefesh B’nefesh come and speak to you about what they can do to help. Make it happen if you can. Participate! Bring what you have, and you will be passing a tremendous test, the main test of our generation!! And if you cannot close up your affairs right now, for G-d’s sake try to plan to be here within the coming year. The time is coming when even having children in middle and high school will become an improper heter (exemption) to delay Aliyah. Time is just too short. The greatest redemption in history will keep your high school and jr. high school kids from straying from G-d’s path while staying in America will bring with it all the dangers of a self-destructing civilization. A test by definition involves either no help from heaven or equal doses of help from heaven to make either a right or wrong choice.. The choice is not your Rav's. It is ultimately yours and your family's alone. True there are many reasons to take it slow, at least, in the past there have always been these reasons. Finances, jobs, high-school children, and severe illness which requires American expertise to treat are genuine reasons to take it slow and only come if you can with your Chofetz Chaim travel bag.. The problem though is that time is running out. We are over half way through the Shmittah cycle of the coming of Mashiah ben David. He could come early, but especially if he does not, the economies of Edom are headed for ruin. I believe that the events of this summer will lead to the rise of Mashiach ben Yosef. We will rage war successfully against the mixed multitude (descendants of untrue converts) who daily wake up and check to see if the world loves them yet. He will also lead us in war against Amalek, who tries to create doubt of G-d's very existence in the world either by his vile behaviour (Osama bin Laden, Hamas, et al.) or because his system is rooted in essential G-dlessness (United Europe for example). In this process Gog W., (He calls President Bush “Gog”--Italics mine) will be none too happy about the turn in events. He will fight us tooth and nail the entire time. Yet, by fighting us he will be removing America from the Source of All Blessing. As Jews, do you want to remain under this deteriorating spiritual situation? If you can pull your resources together, by all means LEAVE before Gog and friends confiscate your bank accounts for writing contributions to Jewish organizations which support the rise of Mashiach ben Yosef. Of course the alternative is disastrous. Burying your head in American prosperity while your brethren here in the Holy Land are struggling to rise above the husks of spiritual impurity imposed from the Erev Rav here and our enemies throughout the world, you will not be passing the test of this generation. This is not to accuse all or even most who cannot come of doing the above, but a valid self-assessment of your financial and health situation as a family and as an individual is required at this time before your choice to come is taken away from you. Are you serving G-d bekhol meodecha, with all your resources, or are you running away from G-d's vast but infinitely finite patience to pass your test? As patient as G-d is, the day is coming to pay the piper. And the piper is heading toward Azezel. Keep in mind everything above is written with love for all Jews in the dispersion of the foreign lands of our exile. I write this out of a deep desire that Jews in America and the other lands of the free world not suffer from the coming financial collapse of Malchut Edom which is prophesied to come at the end of our exile. [1] The Chofetz Chaim and other great Tzaddikim always had a travel bag packed with everything that they would need just in case Mashiach showed up on any particular day. posted by Dov Bar-Leib at 6/24/2005 04:56:00 PM
------------------------------------------- Note from Kay, who was with Richard Honoroff at the Gihon Springs, September 30, 2000: Regarding the experience on Sep 30, 2000, the main thing I remember Richard saying was that Solomon was anointed King at the Gihon Spring. That was where the Ark of the Covenant was and where David was camped. The 7 silver trumpets were blown inside the Gihon Spring cave.

YEDIDAH’S REPORT FROM JERUSALEM
THE FEAST OF SHOFAR BLOWING AND SHOUTING THE “FORTY-EIGHT HOUR TRANSITION” HAS OCCURRED: NOTHING IS THE SAME AS IT WAS BEFORE THE EVE OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2007
GREETINGS BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN MESSIAH YAHUSHUA:
The Father has been giving me assignments to proclaim His will into the earth for many years now. I hear, I obey, I hear, I obey--thus my relationship with Him has become an intimate partnership, and I am overwhelmed with His precious presence with me as I go to do His will. He sent me to Jerusalem, so that I might be at the Western Wall of the Temple Mount at the time of the sunset (7:00PM approximately) on the nights of September 11th, 12th and 13th. But, the night of the 12th, going into the 13th, was the great time of transition into at least 18 things that He changed. In my articles “The Forty-Eight Hour Transition” and “The Smittah Year Prophecy”, I gave about eight things that would happen. But, as true to His form, just before and during the time of my intercession, proclamation and declaration of His will, He gave me ten more things. As I left my room to go to the Wall, I realized that history was going to be changed forever--that nothing was going to be the same as it was in the past. I realized that from the foundation of the world, the Father knew that this night would announce the time of the coming of His Son back to earth and the coming of His Kingdom onto the earth, a Kingdom that will last forever. (Daniel 7) The Father—the Ancient of Days—is hovering over this City and this time, for all things prophesied from of old are now ready to be finished. On the eve of Yom Teruah—the Feast of Trumpets—the Feast of the blowing of the shofar and of shouting joyfully, I was blessed greatly to be in Jerusalem! “Blessed are the people who know the festal trumpet call! They walk, O Yahuweh, in the light of Your face. In Your Name they rejoice all day long. And they are exalted in Your righteousness”. Psalm 89:15-17 And, oh was blessed as I heard the “festal” shofars blowing, and the shouting! If you have read the “Smittah Year Prophecy”, you know that I missed my mo’ed—my special appointment—on September 29th, 2000, for I did not go to Patmos on that day to proclaim the opening of the seals. I had returned from Africa with malaria, and thought I couldn’t go. I proclaimed it from Aqaba, Jordan. As I left my room in the Old City to go to the Wall to proclaim the things He’d given me, He spoke to my spirit—“This is your second chance”. It did not dawn on me, that this night the trumpet judgments were opened. I missed going to the cave where John received the Revelation about the seals. I
Page 1 did go to Patmos in May of 2001, and the Father blessed it. But, this was indeed my second chance to be on the spot when the trumpet judgments were released. As I at the Wall proclaiming and interceding for all He was pouring into my spirit, He added ten more things…and I left there knowing that something had happened. I just knew it in my spirit. But… When I got up the morning of the 13th, Yom Teruah day, I KNEW something had happened! I felt strongly that we were inside the last seven years before Messiah’s return. But, I was also aware that something major had happened in my spirit regarding me. When the Father gives you something to know, you sometimes can’t explain it—you just know so strongly that you’ll lay down your life for what you know. I went to Jordan under orders from the Father, knowing a few Scriptures about Petra—the land of Edom—Southern Jordan—in the last days. I came out of Aqaba—on the Red Sea—eight years later to the day-- knowing the fullness of why He had sent me. Ezekiel 40:4 came to pass. On the night of the 12th, I knew that I was released also--into the fullness of the ministry He had ordained for me from the foundation of the world, and the position He ordained for me to have, having trained me since age 4 to hear His voice and know Him. Now, we know also that Yahushua’s end-time ministry is released! Yes, everything has changed, and now you will see things speeding up rapidly for the final fulfillment of His Word.. Be aware that His eye is focused on ONE LAND and one only—Israel. Be aware that His eye is especially focused on ONE CITY—Jerusalem. What happens in other places is only a backdrop to His plans for His Land. He will destroy all other “gentile” nations. We are not called to pray for the peace of America, or Britain, or Canada, or any other land—But, Psalm 120:6 says: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem”. Isaiah 62:1, 6-7, tell us we are to give Him no rest, until He establishes Jerusalem as a praise in the earth. Don’t get sidetracked by the propaganda and mind-programming of the Western media—and the hearsay reports of the fearful and cowardly, or of the Luciferic community’s mind manipulations. Yahuweh is our Elohim, and He is in charge of all that happens, and the protector, He says, of those who FEAR HIM and who guard HIS COVENANT/HIS COMMANDMENTS. (Psalm 103, and etcetera) The silly, the foolish and the shallow, the fearful and cowardly--those who do not know Yahuweh or Yahushua well enough to trust Him with anything, hear the mind-programming, the reports of hearsay and rhetoric, the “gospel of satan” designed to get people afraid of what he can do, and out of their faith in Yahuweh, and spread fear like Chicken Little, -- sending out e-mail reports that spread deception, lies and fear as if something was true. Tragic and pitiful that Yahuweh’s people are falling for the traps of the enemy. I hope none of you are reading or sending on fear-reports, designed by the Luciferic community to
Page 2 paralyze you and thus make you controllable and an easy prey for anti-messiah! Don’t be a fearful coward—for the fearful and cowardly ultimately end up in the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8) along with the other sinners. For “Whatsoever is not of faith is sin”. Fear of anyone or anything except Yahuweh is sin! Fear cancels faith, and without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please Him! (Hebrews 11:6) In the Word He says, 365 times at least: “Fear Not!” If you override the commands of Yahuweh and Yahushua that many times, you are out of line, and subject to receiving the great deception—that will d**n your soul to the lake of fire. Israel is His focus, and yes, great destruction will come to Israel soon. But, to the other nations—they are not His Land or His nations—they will perish under His wrath. This is why He is so emphatic that we get out of the culture of Babel (confusion by mixture of good and evil), fleeing for lives (spirit, soul and body). (Revelation 18:4) Where were you the night of September 12th? -- Before His face—in prayer, in ministering to others—in the Word, with your family and friends fellowshipping about Him? Were you with a fellowship that knew the “festal call”? I hope so! If so, let me know if the Father has shown you anything about this night. He tells all of His servants what He is about to do—those that live in His presence and know His voice, and obey Him. He does nothing in a corner. But, He does some things in a hidden fashion, away from the eyes of the world and the satanic kingdom, so that only those servants who really know Him will be instructed. What else matters now, but wearing this world very loosely, and focusing on His purposes—so that He can shelter us when we need help. The Psalms provide us with some glorious promises—we should memorize them.
THE EIGHTEEN THINGS THAT CHANGED THE EVE OF SEPTEMBER 12:
The end of Ephraim’s punishment. A remnant of the ten northern tribes are free to return to the Torah and Yahuweh, to His Covenant, and to His Kingdom, and to His Land as He directs His timing for His set-apart ones. The Bridal remnant from these tribes are released to join with the house of Judah for the end-time exploits. The end of Judah’s punishment. The veil is being taken off of a remnant of the house of Judah that they might see the Messiah Yahushua as their Messiah—the “Suffering Servant” and soon-coming King. That the beginning of Zechariah 12:10 through 13:1 may begin for those set-apart ones that He has foreknown. The “smittah” year of Yahuweh’s release began. This is the seventh year of a seven-year cycle, in which Yahuweh releases debt as we release our debtors, and the land is to lay fallow and rest. It is the year of the release of His remnant—the release of their sins, their
Page 3 debts to Him, and anything that would hold them back from being set into their position for the final 7 years. Yom Teruah: The day of the return of the Messiah—to take His Bride and His Kingdom. It will be the day of the wedding of the Messiah and His Bride—the day of the Coronation of them as the King and the Queen. It is the most significant day in human history for those end- days chosen ones. They are now ready—they have made themselves “virgin”—pure and blameless, for they “follow the Lamb wherever He goes.” The new moon was declared at sunset—Tishre 1 began. Thus, this is the day of the release of the prepared Bride for her work for Him before His coming, so that at His coming, she may rest from her labors, and enter into the fullness of His presence. The Bridal marking and sealing has taken place—ended. Because the sealing is over, the Bride is released to join together with the two witnesses of Revelation 11 and to go throughout the earth in the power of His might to do His will during the darkest of days without dying. (Revelation 3:7-12; 7:1ff, 14:1-5; 22:3-5; Ezekiel 9:1-11) Because the marked Bridal remnant has been marked and now sealed for protection, the trumpet judgments can now be loosed. You will see the sealing of this remnant (144,000s—an approximate number, a plural) in Revelation 7:1ff, Judah is one tribe—among this remnant of the whole house of Jacob. In Revelation 9:4, we see that the trumpet judgments are so intense that only the marked/sealed Bridal remnant will escape them. Thus, as the eighth chapter of Revelation reveals the trumpet judgments, we see that they are catastrophic—mostly cosmic or nuclear in proportion. The beginning of the final fulfillment of Ezekiel 37—the uniting of the house of Israel and the house of Judah together as one. For we know that during the time of the tribulation (3 ½ years), the whole house will join together against the “prince of Greece”—the world system, and overcome by the blood of the Lamb, by the word of their testimony because they have loved not their lives even unto death— Revelation 12:11. (Isaiah 11:12-14; Hosea 9:13) The beginning of the end of the time of the fisherman – the time of the hunters has come (Jeremiah 16:14-16). Individuals can be “fished”—brought to safety in the Land, or fished to the Torah, to Yahuweh and to Messiah Yahushua, but the time of the freedom to generally fish as usual is coming to an end. “Night” is coming! The beginning of the 70th week of Daniel (Daniel 9:24-27). There are three levels to this prophecy’s fulfillment. (Refer to the article: The Three Levels of Daniel 9:24-27) The final level—the last seven years
Page 4 before Messiah’s return, has begun. We have entered the last seven years before Messiah comes! All that is included in these final seven years will take place. The great “falling away” has begun, the apostasy that will d**n most of the so-called believers in “Jesus” or “Yeshua”, for they do not know Him personally well enough to trust Him with their lives through the times of horror. The release of Daniel’s 4th beast—and the “seventh” and the “eighth” Beast--Daniel 7; Revelation 13 and 17--the combination beast of all the Kingdoms that have come against Israel from Egypt onward. The last beast is a combination of all of them, but is especially the revived Rome (Vatican/Jesuits/Illuminati) and its partner—head of the world government (established May 1999, publicly on CNN and BBC Europe)—America—end-time Babylon! (For articles on these subjects, please ask) Thus, the release of the anti-messiah spirit, too. This includes the release of the ten toes/ten horns of Daniel 2, Revelation 17, which are the ten economic regions of the earth. This includes the release of the world religion to ensnare the world’s people, as Constantine used religion to unite His Empire under Christianity—so the beast of the Vatican is now using Christianity to unite the world into one religion, with Jerusalem as the headquarters of the world religious empire. Beware of the “Noahide laws!” The release of “Kadima”—the forward east wind of destruction (Genesis 41:15-32 – verse 27 “east wind” is kadim”) -- the ruling party in Israel--to do their dirty work of destroying Israel along with the help of America, Russia, the E.U. and the U.N. Right now, Kadima is blowing, under Prime Minister Olmert, and destruction is indeed near as Kadima joins with the President of America to push the Palestinian state through, thus making Israel totally defenseless and surrounded by her deadly enemies. Russia waits silently in the Mediterranean, and in backing Syria and Iran and terrorist organizations, to attack (Ezekiel 38). Yahuweh’s City is being betrayed! We began 2008 from Creation. I know that the Jewish calendar in this behalf dates from captivity in Babylon. But, Nimrod indeed knew when creation began. Noah was alive until Jacob was a child. It has been carefully calculated that creation was at the time of the Feast of Trumpets--which marks the return of Messiah. Messiah’s birth was also near the time from creation. The signs in the heavens on day 1 of creation are known—and being repeated. By many signs we know that we are within the 7-thousandth year from creation. It has been known since before Messiah’s first coming that the Messiah, King of the Universe, would come to bring His Kingdom within the first Page 5
years of the 7-thousandth year from creation. Genesis 6:3 tells us that mankind was given 120 “Jubilee” years: 50 X 120 ) 6,000 years. Now the six thousand are finished. II Peter 3:8—“be not ignorant…of this one thing, that a day with Yahuweh is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day”). Hosea 6:1-3, speaking of the time-period between Messiah’s two comings—“in the third day, He will raise us up to live in His sight”. Yahushua was born in 3BCE, at the beginning of the 4th day. Pray about all these things, and let the Spirit of Yahuweh lead you into all truth! He speaks to our spirit by His Spirit! Line everything up with the whole of the Word, and lean not to man for your understanding! (John 16:13; I John 2:27, and etcetera) Noah and his family were sealed into the Ark for their protection seven days before the deep broke up and the earth began to be flooded. Messiah said: “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man”. We are definitely “in the days of Noah”. The Biblical principle is a day for year in prophetic writing…as Numbers 14 sets precedent, and Ezekiel 4 regarding Judah, and the 70 weeks of Daniel – each seven being a heptad (7 days = 7 years). Therefore, a remnant is sealed for preservation—both a Bridal remnant that will be mobile until the last set of “moed’im”—one year— and a remnant that will be kept safe in Edom for the whole 3 ½ years to do His work there. The release of the two witnesses will come when anti-messiah makes his appearance on an Abib 10, 3 ½ years into the last seven years-- riding into Jerusalem in imitation of Yahushua, four days before the beginning of Passover to declare his “deity” and demanding that all worship him. He will sit on the Temple Mount “on the sides of the north” taking his place on the throne of Elohim. (II Thessalonians 2) The uniting of the Bridal remnant with the house of Judah, together weeping for the coming of the King of Kings. As Judah cries for Messiah to come, so does the Bride. John 11 tells of Mary (who symbolized the Bride—always at His feet in adoration) weeping at the feet of Yahushua because Lazarus has died. The Jews are weeping with her. When Messiah saw Mary weeping and the Jews weeping together, He wept. Then He went and raised Lazarus from the dead. When He sees the Bride weeping with the house of Judah in mutual calling for the Messiah to come, then He will come and raise the dead—the resurrection of the righteous will take place! The Bride is found loving His brethren—those of the house of Judah who will receive Him at His coming! The tunnels are being opened and connected for the remnant who will
Page 6 be spared in Jerusalem. Yes, the tunnels are being opened and connected from the City of David through the Ophel to the Temple Mount—this is so exciting to see with our own eyes. (I have received private information—yet you can see it for yourself). The gates are opened for the righteous remnant to finish their course. This includes the martyrs who will suffer greatly, but rule and reign with Him. This is the time of the “restoration of all things”! Acts 3:18-21: “For this is how Elohim has fulfilled what He has announced beforehand through the mouth of all of the prophets that His Messiah was to suffer. Repent, therefore, and turn back for the blotting out of your sins, in order that times of refreshing might come from the presence of the Master, and that He sends Yahushua Messiah pre-appointed for you, until the heavens need to receive until the time of the restoration of all things of which Elohim spoke through the mouth of all His set-apart prophets from of old”. He has restored to us His Name, our Hebrew roots, and our understanding of the real Elohim of Israel and His Messiah. He has given us revelation of His coming Kingdom. We are now proclaiming the “good news of the Kingdom” throughout the earth via all sorts of media, so that the house of Judah and the house of Israel might unite in the Torah of Yahuweh and come together in Messiah Yahushua as per John 6:45—those taught by Yahuweh come to the real Messiah of Israel. He is restoring purity in the worship of the true Elohim! We are about to see the demise of the pagan religion of Christianity, started by the Greeks and institutionalized by Constantine, coming back to its base in Babylon—Mithra—Persia—Nimrod—from wince it came. (Revelation 17:16-17) This monstrous counterfeit of the true faith given to His people by Yahuweh and Yahushua, propagated by Torah-observant Apostles, and believed by those killed by the church, is now ready again to kill all those who love Yahuweh and His Messiah. The leading “Protestant” daughters of Rome, are not protesting Rome anymore—but have joined with Rome—unifying in a world religion. The pagan church, especially of America is indeed Revelation 3:14-22—Laodicia. It is now propagating the worship of “self” as a god--magnifying the doctrines held dear by Lucifer—and his false messiah and of Jezebel. This apostate church will be destroyed by those it now supports. It is now joining with the Lady of the evening of Babylon and its Vatican headship—uniting the world around its religion.

Beware of what looks good—check all out with the whole Word—Genesis to Revelation with the Ruach as your Teacher. If the Ruach is not your sole Teacher of absolute Truth, you are going to fall away into the great deception that will d**n “even the elect”. These things are now in motion. Where are you with Him? Does His presence and His love pour through you with joy, peace and contentment, patience, long-suffering, faith, gentleness, kindness, and self-control? (Galatians 6:22-24) Are you really Yahuweh’s child, or are you playing belief-system games based on past instructions and experiences that are not valid in the true Hebrew meaning of faith? What foundation have you built for yourself. The coming days will prove everyone’s works. HalleluYah! The end of all that we know of this world system is at hand, yet the beginning of all that we know, if we know Him and His promises, is just beginning. It is time to be found “in Him” in “the shadow of the Almighty” not cowering in fear like the devil’s children! It is time to have joy and peace, patience, long suffering, endurance, and overcoming in our lives. If we are children of Yahuweh, then we must be bold as a lion in our faith. “The wicked flee when no man pursues but the righteous are as bold as a lion”—Proverbs 28:1. Be bold, be strong in the power of His might—take the whole armor of Elohim that you might be able to stand in the evil day. What is the armor of Elohim? – The garments of the High Priest. (Ephesians 6:10-18/Exodus 28) We have “weapons of our warfare” that “are not carnal”—not of the flesh (II Corinthians 10:3-6) Use them! Yahuweh’s children do not have to cower before the enemy! Continue in the Word so that you do not draw back unto d**nation because of fear. He is releasing those who are prepared to do His exploits (Daniel 11:32). We have entered the time of Joel 1 and 2—time to mourn, to weep, to intercede, to encourage the true ones—the martyrs of the third world, and the ones who will be martyred in the first and second worlds. Time to spread the good news of the coming Kingdom and teach the house of Israel to return to Yahuweh and His Torah. It is time to be about our Father’s business—and not doing our own agenda. What good will our own agenda be in the days when all flesh will be destroyed except a set-apart few?

THE FORTY-EIGHT HOUR TRANSITION
Sunset in Jerusalem, September 12, 2007, current Roman world calendar dating, begins the month of Tishre on the Hebrew calendar. Because Yahuweh’s days begin at sunset, at sunset we enter September 13th (Genesis 1:5). The Hebrew month of Tishre marks the Hebrew calendar dated from creation. Therefore, on Tishre 1, by the “creation calendar” we also enter the beginning 2008. The calendar given to us for the Festivals--Exodus 12:2--is OUR CALENDAR. It is our lifestyle—given to us to live by…to mark our time by His plan of salvation—which the seven Feasts of Yahuweh proclaim (Leviticus 23).. The wording of Exodus 12:2, lets us know that this “first month”, which is Aviv, the time of Passover, is for His people.. It is not for the world. The world runs of the calendar from creation—it is the calendar of the nations, it is calendar of man. End time prophecy uses the calendar of the world—for it is telling us the plans of Yahuweh for this world. But, woven into it is the calendar of Yahuweh for His people, so that they will see His movement towards the next step in His plan of salvation. Messiah has already fulfilled the first three Feasts—Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits—in His death, burial and resurrection. On “Pentecost” (Shavu’ot) the Spirit of Yahuweh came to write Torah on our heart and give us the power and gifting to do the will of the Father in this world. The fulfillment of the fifth Feast is future--the Feast of Trumpets—the day of the return of Messiah to earth to raise His people to eternal life, to reward His people according to their works (their obedience to His Covenant), to set up His Kingdom, and to “burn the wicked with fire”. (Matthew 13; Revelation 11:15-19, for examples) We are in what the Prophets called “summer”—the time of transition between the Spring Feasts and the Autumn Feasts. From olden times, Jewish rabbis have believed that the “time of Jacob’s troubles”—the troubles of all the remnant of all the tribes of Jacob, which in total are thirteen (Jeremiah 30:7-11)—would be the time of Israel’s deliverance from the “gentiles”. They believed this time of trouble would begin in the first years of the seven-thousandth year from creation. We are now in the seven-thousandth year. Many believed that the creation calendar was dated from Adam’s creation, not from Genesis 1:1. Adam was created in the sixth day. We are now closing that seventh day--2007. In Hosea 6:1-3, we see that in the “third day” He will raise us up to live in His sight. In the “third day” from Messiah’s birth, He will raise us up—resurrect us—and take us into His Kingdom for 1,000 years, then the Father comes and eternity begins. Father descends with His City at the onset of the eighth day--Revelation chapters 21-22. It was two thousand years from Adam to Abraham, two thousand years from Abraham to Messiah, and two thousand years from Messiah’s birth until now. In Exodus 19, Moses told the people to prepare for 2 days, for in the third day, Yahuweh would descend upon Mt. Horeb (Sinai). The Ten Commandments are the basic terms of the marriage covenant—what the Bridegroom wants in a Bride—exclusivity. He is a jealous lover.
Page 1 Noah built an ark for 120 years and preached: Repent, for judgment is near! Genesis 6:3 says this: “And Yahuweh said, `My Spirit shall not strive with man forever in his going astray. He is flesh, and his days shall be one hundred and twenty years”. The Hebrew rendering of the 120 years is that they are Jubilee years. Every fiftieth year is a Jubilee year (Leviticus 25). If you multiply 120 X 50 you get 6,000 years. II Peter 3:8 says in the context of the coming of the Father to create a new heaven and a new earth: “But, beloved ones, BE NOT IGNORANT OF THIS ONE THING: That with Yahuweh, one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day”. Moses’ Psalm, Psalm 90, puts it this way: Verse 4: “For a thousand years in Your eyes are like yesterday that has past, or like a watch in the night”. From of old, Jews and believers in Messiah have known that in the beginning of the seventh-thousandth year, Messiah would come. Please, take the time to look at APPENDIX A--at the end of this article. Here I include quotes of people who have said that the Messiah would come in the seven thousandth year from creation—people who lived after Messiah, and before Messiah. We are inside the seven thousandth year! At sunset on September 12th, we move from ’07 to ’08. The number seven in Scripture stands for completed whole--a finish of cycle--while eight stands for new beginnings. Yes, this is man’s calendar. Different cultures use different numbers for calculating their calendar. But, no matter what numbers are used—the fact remains that we are within the seven thousandth year from Adam’s creation, and that is highly important for us to know. Quoting from William F. Dankenbring’s article “2012: The End of Days: “Archbishop Ussher was a great Biblical historian and theologian. He was born in Dublin in 1581CE and was one of the first scholars admitted to Trinity College at the tender young age of 13. Ussher believed the Bible was literally true…Ussher concluded that Creation occurred on noon, October 23, 4004BCE… Ussher’s scholarship was published in 1650 as The Annals of the World. Ussher also deduced…that Christ was born in 4BCE, 4000 years from Creation. Ussher believed, as many did in his time, that the end of the age would occur 6,000 after Creation. His calculations were widely accepted at the time and were inserted into the margins of…the Authorized King James Version”. If Archbishop Ussher was wrong—he was only wrong by perhaps one year. In Appendix B, following my lengthy warnings of deception, which I hope you all read, I give projected timing of Messiah’s first coming, which is attested to by astronomers and historians, and perhaps signs of His second coming in the sun, moon, stars and planets. We will see about this after it happens! The enemy uses the current world calendar—because he is the “god of this world”. We have our calendar in Exodus 12:3 by which we live our lifestyle, but we cannot throw out the calendar by which the world moves, for both calendars are needed to understand the whole prophetic plan as it unfolds! More than that, we must hear, in our spirit, the Truth as told
Page 2 to us by the Ruach Yahuweh, who is given to us as our Teacher and our instructor of things to come (John 16:13). Without His input, we can only go by our puny head reasoning, and that is often off—as you know. We must tap into the Ruach Yahuweh’s “head-reasoning”. If all we had was man’s reasoning from his mental logic to guide us, how pathetic and pitiful and deceived we would be! What is ending and what is beginning at sunset September 12th? Yom Teruah, the fifth of Yahuweh’s festivals (Leviticus 23)--the festivals, which picture Yahuweh’s plan for the salvation of a remnant His people--pictures the return of Messiah to earth to rule over an earthly Kingdom for 1,000 years—the 7th “day”. This festival covers two days around the earth--for on the earth there are always two days. This is why “No man knows THE DAY, OR THE HOUR” of the blowing of the “last trumpet”, announcing the sighting of the new moon of the new month of Tishre, signaling the opening of heaven, and the return of Messiah (I Corinthians 15:51-58; Revelation 11:14-19; Revelation 19). In ancient times, the forty-eight hours of the dark of the moon, before the sighting of the first sliver of the new moon marking the new month, was called “the day and the hour no man knows”. Two witnesses were stationed on the Temple Mount during those forty-eight hours of the dark of the moon—to determine each month’s designation. When, after sunset, they saw the first sliver of the new moon, they would go to the High Priest and confirm that they had sighted the first sliver of the new moon—marking the new month. The High Priest would then order the blowing of the shofar, announcing to all that the new month had begun. In Revelation 11, we see that the two witnesses, killed by anti-messiah three and a half days before, rise from a street in Jerusalem as the world watches, ascending before the High Priest, announcing the new month. Then the “last trumpet” is blown (the seventh trumpet) marking the month of Tishre. The High Priest—Messiah Yahushua, King of Kings and Master of Masters--descends to the earth to rule and reign. Understanding the Word from a Hebrew prospective certainly expands our understanding! (I Corinthians 15:51-58; Revelation 11:14-19) This upcoming festival in 2007, Yom Teruah (the Day of Trumpet blowing) heralds many new things. It begins the seventh year of a seven-year cycle--a “Smittah year”—the word for Yahuweh’s year of “land rest”—and year of release of those in captivity, restoration, and the reclaiming of what was taken away back to its original owners. It is from this seventh year of release that America based its bankruptcy laws. As I was preparing to return to the United States in 2005, I was reading Ezekiel 3, about the proclaiming of the Good News of return and restoration to Yahuweh and His Torah, and reading about those of the ten northern tribes who were scattered into exile from about 950BCE to 722BCE. The Father spoke in my spirit: “ALL MY PEOPLE, OUTSIDE OF MY LAND ARE IN CAPTIVITY”. My friends, that means His people in the United States and Canada, in Western Europe, in Australia and New Zealand, and all the other nations of the earth. Yahuweh scattered the ten northern tribes of Jacob (multi-millions of people)
Page 3 into all nations because of their idolatry (substituting other things to worship besides Him), and their rejection of Him and His Torah—into ALL NATIONS—“AMONG THE GENTILES”. He never refers to His people as “gentiles!” You might think that your “captivity” is good, but it is an illusion, a fantasy of mind-manipulation by the “god of this world”—Lucifer (Satan as the illumined one, the light bearer, the angel of light). The greatest punishment that Yahuweh could have meted out is to remove His people from their inheritance Land—the Land we call “Israel”. Yet, most of His people love their captivity more than the reward of His Land. The so-called “good life” in captivity is not realistic. Westerners, in particular Americans, are trapped--slaves to the culture of gentiles (heathen, barbarians, pagans, even Satanists—aliens, strangers and foreigners to the covenant of Yahuweh (Ephesians 2:8-19)--the world system under Lucifer. His culture (Torah) is the culture of peace, order, and rest, harmonious families, prosperity, and freedom. Yahuweh never referred to the ten northern tribes as “gentiles” nor did Yahuweh ever make a covenant with “gentiles”. He says that He will destroy all gentiles.. In Ephesians 2:11 and I Corinthians 12:2, we read that if we are in Messiah, in the Covenant of Yahuweh, WE ARE NOT GENTILES! We are in the tree of Israel, through Messiah Yahushua. (Romans 11) The Father is focused on one family-group, the family of Isaac, Jacob, and their descendants. II Samuel 7:22-24, from the prayer of King David: “You are great indeed, O Master Yahuweh! For there is none like You and there is no Elohim but You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.. And who is like Your people, like Israel, the ONE NATION ON THE EARTH whom Elohim went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a Name, and to do for Your greatness and awesome deed for Your Land before Your people whom you redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, from the nations and from their gods? And You have established for Yourself Your people Israel as Your own people FOREVER, and You Yahuweh have become their Elohim”. The Elohim of the Bible has one people—the biological sons of Isaac and Jacob and Jacob’s children. If a true gentile (one not of the seed of Isaac and Jacob) wants to get in on the covenant, they have always been able to by adhering to the Covenant of Yahuweh by faith and action from the days of Exodus 12:48-49. For when He gave His Torah—His Covenant for His people—it was for all mankind to observe. He never left anyone out. Ruth is a good example of a gentile (an Arab/a Moabite) who came into the Covenant of Yahuweh by faith, and was part of the lineage of Messiah. In Jeremiah 31:31, we see that the covenant that He renewed in the blood of Messiah was made with the “house of Judah” and the “house of Israel”. The house of Judah is comprised of the three southern tribes of Judah (Jews), Levi and Benjamin. The ten tribes of the northern kingdom are: Reuben, Simeon, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, and the two tribes of Joseph—Ephraim and Manasseh—thirteen in all. The northern ten were called “Israel” after the new name of Jacob (Genesis 32:27-28; Genesis 48:8-20).
Page 4 Ephraim took the place of Reuben as the birthright holder for all the tribes (I Chronicles 5:1-2). Judah remained the scepter-bearing (ruling) tribe (Genesis 49:10--notice these prophecies of Jacob are for “the latter days”), UNTIL Messiah comes and takes the scepter for Himself alone to rule. In hundreds of verses in the Bible, we read that the greatest passion of our Father is to return the whole house of Jacob—all the tribes—to His Land. He has one Land that He oversees (Deuteronomy 11:11-12)—the rectangle described in Ezekiel 47:14-chapter 48…the land of Israel—the eternal inheritance of His people. The most horrible punishment He could deal out for sin to His people was to scatter them AMONG the gentiles, out of His Land. In all references to the return of the northern tribes to the Land, He uses the terminology “among” the gentiles. The “Jew-Gentile” perversion of the Scriptures is just that—perversion by those who refuse to acknowledge the multi-millions of the northern tribes, scattered into all nations by 722BCE. A remnant of these ten now want to return to their homeland. (Zechariah 8:23—these “ten men” represent the ten tribes). The parable of the “prodigal son” is being enacted now (Luke 15). The prodigal is the house of Israel, and the “elder brother” is Judah (Jews and Levi). Now, Yahuweh is returning a remnant of all the tribes in the greatest passion of His heart and soul (Jeremiah 32:37-41), to fulfill Ezekiel 37:15-28—to make them ONE NATION again! He will finish this task at the coming of Messiah, but now a remnant is returning and many of the Orthodox Jews see it as a sign of the coming of Messiah ben David—the Messiah, son of David. Excerpts from Deuteronomy 15:1-12: The seventh year is “Yahuweh’s release”. What begins on Tishre 1 of 2008, going into 2009, is a whole new cycle of seven years. This is the final cycle before Messiah returns—ending in the Jubilee year—Yom Kippur 2015. The Ruach is showing many this reality now, so as one voice, many watchmen are proclaiming these things—the restoration of all things—that leads to His return (Acts 3:19-21). Regarding the “Smittah” (pronounced: Smee-tah”)—the Shabbat of the land—the land-rest year: From the Restoration Scriptures: “…(The Jewish Tenak reads: “Every seventh year…”--sighting the context) you shall make a release. After this manner of the release: Every creditor that lends anything to his neighbor shall release it; he shall not require it of his neighbor, or from his brother; because IT IS YAHUWEH’S RELEASE… Beware that there is not a thought of Beliyal (Satan) in your heart, saying, `The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand’; and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him no release, and he cries to Yahuweh against you, and it becomes sin for you. You shall surely give him the release, and your lev (heart) shall not be grieved when you give it to him: because for this thing Yahuweh your Elohim shall bless you in all your works, and in all that you put your hand to undertake…And if your brother, an Ivri (Hebrew) man, or an Ivri (Hebrew) woman, is sold to you, and serves you six years; then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you. And when you send him out free from you, you shall not let him go away empty-handed: You shall furnish
Page 5 him liberally out of your flock, out of your flood, and out of your winepress: of that which Yahuweh your Elohim has blessed you, you shall give it to him. And you shall remember that you were an eved (slave) in the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and Yahuweh your Elohim redeemed you: therefore I command you this thing today”. (Italics mine) Exodus 23:10-11: “And six years you shall sow your land and gather the fruit of it. But, in the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie still that the poor of your people may eat: and what they leave, the beasts of the field may eat. In like manner you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove”. For neglecting the land rest years for greedy gain--working the land every year with no rest--the Father sent the house of Judah into Babylon for every seventh year that they did not let the land rest—seventy (II Chronicles 36:20-21)-- from about the time of Solomon. Leviticus 25:4, 9: The year of Jubilee is declared on Yom Kippur, the 10th of Tishre, the fiftieth year that follows seven sets of seven years (49 years). The end of the final Smittah year, marking the last seventh year of a 49-year cycle, proceeds into the 50th year--the 10th of Tishre, on Yom Kippur—the sixth Feast—the day of National Redemption—the Day of Atonement. Today, the Jewish people mourn on the Day of Atonement. They have no way of getting their sins forgiven, for they depended on the Temple and its sacrifices for their salvation. This is tragic. The final Lamb of Elohim was slain for their redemption, making Yom Kippur a day of release, of freedom, of joy, because Yahuweh has forgiven His people, because the High Priest, Yahushua, has taken His own blood into the Most Set-Apart Place, “once for all” to obtain ETERNAL REDEMPTION FOR US. (Hebrews 8-10) On Yom Kippur, the nation is forgiven its sins, and set free. It is the time of the restoration of the nation of Israel, by the blood of the Lamb. It is national salvation, as the Word says: “All Israel will be saved” (Romans 11:26-27)—all the tribes will receive forgiveness, and Yahushua will rule over the earth for 1,000 years. (Read Revelation chapters 19-22 for a complete picture) Leviticus 25:1-4: “And Yahuweh spoke to Moses on Mt. Sinai saying: `Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, “When you come into the land that I give you, then shall the land keep a Shabbat to Yahuweh. Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in the fruit of it. But, in the seventh year shall be a Shabbat-Shabbaton to the land, a Shabbat for Yahuweh; you shall neither sow your field nor prune your vineyard. That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, neither gather the grapes of your undressed vine: for it is a year of Shabbaton to the land. And the Shabbat-produce of the land shall be grain for you: for you, and your slave and for your female slave, and for your hired slave and for the stranger that sojourns with you. And you shall number seven Shabbats of years, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven Shabbats of years shall be to you forty-nine years. Then you shall cause the shofar of the yovel (Jubilee) to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the Yom Ha Kippurim shall you make the shofar sound throughout your
Page 6 land. And you shall set apart the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all the inhabitants of it; It shall be a yovel to you, and you shall return every man to his possession, and you shall return every man to his family. A yovel shall that fiftieth year be to you: you shall not sow; neither reap that which grows by itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your undressed vine. For it is the yovel; it shall be set-apart to you; you shall eat the increase of it out of the field.” Remember that this is talking about cycles of Festivals, so it is putting time in the Festival calendar from Exodus 12:2—making Aviv the first month, and Tishre the seventh month. Time for you and I must be calculated by the Aviv calendar—Passover being the first festival. Leviticus 25 continues to give instructions as to how to treat the neighbor, the family member, the stranger and the poor during this year of total release and return, restoration and redemption.” This Jubilee year is for all the inhabitants of the land of Israel—whether they are of the descendents of the twelve tribes or “gentiles”—those outside the covenant of Yahuweh. Messiah is our Lamb of redemption. By His blood, we enter into the covenant of Yahuweh, our Father. We are citizens of an “unshakable Kingdom”. (Philippians 3:20-21) Therefore, we are responsible to guard and keep the rules, regulations, laws, teachings and instructions of the Kingdom of heaven, from where our Savior will come to deliver us. It would, therefore be very logical, in accordance with the whole of Scripture, that Messiah would come at either the beginning of a Smittah year, or at the end of a Smittah year on Yom Teruah—the 49th year—just 10 days before Yom Kippur—when the 50th, year of Jubilee, begins. He is the living Torah—the Torah made flesh. He walked out the Torah in His life on earth, and taught His disciples to do the same—so He will not come at any random time—His return must be in fulfillment of the fifth Festival, leading into the sixth Festival and finally resting in the seventh Festival. The admonition to us regarding preparedness is found in Matthew 25:1-11. In the Hebrew, Matthew 25:1-2 says: “And the Kingdom of heaven shall be compared to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet A BRIDEGROOM AND A BRIDE. Five were wise and five were lazy.” These were guests--called to the marriage supper. He comes with the wrath of the Father to destroy the wicked, and gather His “wheat” into His barns—His “sheep” into His sheepfold. (Matthew 13) The word “tribulation comes from the Latin word “tribulum”, which is a farm instrument that puts pressure on wheat or other grains to break loose the chaff from them, so that the chaff can blow away. It is His love that causes the “pressure” of the “tribulum”, so that His people will be set free. Matthew 13 tells us that when He comes, He will FIRST burn the chaff and tares (choking weeds) in the fire, and THEN gather the wheat into His barns. The “tribulum” is the love of the Father, breaking the power of evil off of His precious set-apart, chosen ones.

Quote by Arthur Spier: from the article from Stewanton Bible College, UK: “Arthur Spier, a world famous Jewish authority, in his book The Comprehensive Jewish Calendar, says this about the Jubilee cycle: `The 50-year cycle, or the Yobel (Jubilee) years were counted, according to Maimonides, only as long as the Temple was in existence. Every 15th and 65th year in each century of the world era are Yobel years, and the intermediary years represent the seven cycles of the smittah (release) years: 2815, 2865, 3815, 3865, 4815, 4865, would be examples of the Yobel years’”. Para. C. on page 225: “Jubilee years, according to this reckoning, began in the autumn of 1815, 1865, 1915, and 1965.” Note: Ezekiel 40:1 tells us when the Jubilee year was at the time of his writing—it is from this Scripture that, after the first Temple was destroyed, accurate calculations were still kept, most likely until after 70CE when the second Temple was destroyed. Therefore, 1965 being the last Jubilee years, adding 50 to that, we come to Yom Kippur of 2015 (September/October 2014, Roman calendar). The long and strong sounding of the shofar to announce the Jubilee year is what will signal the salvation of all of His set-apart ones of Jacob (Israel) and the judgment on the nations (Matthew 25:31-46 and Joel 3:1-2). The nations will be judged on how they have treated Judah—the Jews—“His brethren”. We understand from Ezekiel’s writings, that Messiah comes on a Shabbat and on a new moon (Ezekiel 43:1-7 with 46:1-3—chapter 40-48 is all from the coming of Messiah onward)—the new moon of Tishre 1 at the Feast of Trumpets. How long will we celebrate the Shabbat, Festivals and the sighting of the new moon? Isaiah 66:22-23 tells us: FOREVER! He comes to set the captives free – to restore the Land to its rest, to restore the land to its original owner and his family (Ezekiel 47:13-chapter 48), and to proclaim liberty and redemption, and freedom for all. This fits perfectly into a Jubilee year understanding. When is the next Jubilee? When does the next Smittah year begin that marks the final cycle leading to the Smittah year ending in the Jubilee? As we saw in Arthur Spier’s book, it will begin the Yom Kippur of 2015 – 2014 on the Roman calendar. WHAT ELSE HAPPENS THE NIGHT OF SEPTEMBER 12TH? According to the mathematics of Ezekiel 4:4-6 and Leviticus 26:14-35: The punishment meted out in Ezekiel 4:4-6 for the house of Israel--390 years--is multiplied seven times—beginning with their last year in the Land—722BCE (details in II Kings 17:23-23)—we find that the punishment was to last 2, 730 years. This Smittah year puts the capstone ending on the punishment of the ten northern tribes. This Smittah year that begins on September 13th, 2007, marks the complete finish of Ephraim’s punishment—the restoration of Ephraim to the Land, the forgiveness of Yahuweh on a remnant of the ten northern tribes, (Zechariah 8:23), the release of punishment, the reconciliation of a remnant of the
Page 8 house of Israel with Yahuweh and His Torah through the Messiah, Yahushua, the restoration of the house of Israel with the Covenant of Yahuweh with His people, and the calling home of a remnant to the mountains of Ephraim (Jeremiah 31). This is causing many Orthodox Jews to rejoice. They see Ezekiel 37 coming to pass. They realize that with Ezekiel 37 coming to pass, and the whole house of Jacob coming back in trickles, their Messiah (our Messiah) is coming very soon. Did Ariel Sharon’s reading of Ezekiel 37 on September 2, 2000 officially launch this return of a remnant of all of His people? The phenomenon of a remnant of the house of Israel wanting to go to Israel for Sukkot this year is amazing! The end of Ephraim’s punishment after 2,730 years, AND Judah’s punishment of forty years, must occur FIRST before He can allow the tribulation plagues. Our Father will not let the punishment on the world begin until a set-apart remnant, faithful to Him, of the whole house of Jacob—all the tribes—has been freed of their slavery to the nations. Otherwise, He would destroy His people with the “gentiles”. He is bound and determined with all His heart and all His soul (Jeremiah 32:41) to return a remnant of the whole house of Jacob. Therefore, He has to shake all that can be shaken (Haggai 2 and Hebrews 12:25-29) so that the remnant is shaken loose from the world system, comes out from the Babel system, and is freed, so that they can continue on through the 3½ years of great tribulation. The ten northern tribes (called in Scripture: The house of Israel, the house of Joseph or the house of Ephraim) lost their Land inheritance, their language, their covenant relationship with Yahuweh, their identity with Yahuweh and His Torah, and began to live AS gentiles—without identity, without inheritance in His Kingdom, without relationship with the Elohim of the Bible. (Hosea chapters 1-3) I Kings chapters 11 and 12: Jeroboam told the northern tribes that they did not have to go to Jerusalem for their Festivals, did not have to adhere to Yahuweh’s instructions, but could have their own festivals, day of worship, priesthood and gods. Messiah says in Matthew 24:15: “I WAS NOT SENT EXCEPT TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL”. In Matthew 6:5-6, He tells His disciples to ONLY GO TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. It is important that we understand why Messiah came—to whom—and to restore what! History tells us that the Apostles only went to where they knew the “lost sheep” had colonized. That is why the Apostle Paul was sent to “gentiles”—a separate group—and their paths rarely, if ever, crossed in ministry. As the Israelites—multi-millions of people (today billions)—who from about 1,000-722 either scattered themselves for world trade and colonization purposes around the earth, or were scattered by Yahuweh because of their idolatry--went into the western nations, eventually they picked up a counterfeit lawless religion that in some ways was like the pagan religion they had in the Land. It was disguised sun god worship, under different names and different festivals. Their new religion was so close in some ways to the truth of their Scriptures that they bought into it and embraced it as their own, even though it was an invention by
Page 9 the Greeks and Romans to turn His people away from the real Elohim of the Scriptures and His Messiah. I’ve researched to the roots of this religion—to the mid-first century--embraced by almost 2 billion people today, in over 5000 denominations and organizations—the Greek/Roman religion of “Christianity”—whose very name comes from the worshippers of Serapis in Alexandria, Egypt, who were called “Christians” and their leadership called “The Bishops of Christ”—second century—a religion that has a “Gnostic” base—from the deception of Lucifer in the Garden of Eden. By the second century, the Christians were calling themselves “Gnostic Christians”. Messiah did not start this religion! Yahuweh did not start Rabbinical Judaism, either. Today, He is calling His people out of this “Lady of the evening religious system”—(Revelation 17), which is unfaithful to the Elohim of the Scriptures—both the house of Israel, and the house of Judah. Christianity is a “lawless”—Torah-less—religion, following the historic dictates of Greco/Roman hatred of anything Hebrew. Thus we see that if the punishment of Ephraim is over, then the first thing that He will do is to call a remnant back to the Land, back to their roots in the Torah, and their roots in Yahuweh’s Covenant! He’s doing that now! It is happening. This remnant will want to be restored to Yahuweh and His covenant through Messiah Yahushua—the Jewish Messiah. They won’t stand for a counterfeit religion that uses verses in the Bible to create their doctrines, but does not adhere to obedience to the Word of Elohim. This remnant will intercede and pray for the Land. They will love the land once again, and the language, and the Torah. It’s homecoming time on the “mountains of Samaria” (Jeremiah 31:6-7--Read this whole chapter—it gives details of His re-gathering of His people.) The word translated “watchman” in Jeremiah 31:6 is the Hebrew word “netzer”—it is from this word that we get “Nazarene”—the “shoot” out of Jesse (Isaiah 11:1; Acts 24:5).. “For there shall be a day when the watchmen cry on Mount Ephraim, `Arise and let us go up to Zion, to Yahuweh our Elohim’”. The Orthodox Jews know that these “watchmen” are the believers in Messiah, who are now returning to the mountains of Ephraim, north of Jerusalem. Zechariah 8:23: “Thus says Yahuweh of hosts, `In those days, ten men from all languages of the nations shall take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man—a Jew—saying “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you” ’ ”. The “ten men” of all languages grabbing hold of the skirt of a Jew are representative of the ten northern tribes who are now realizing that they want to return to their roots in Israel, and are “grabbing hold” of Jews. Unfortunately, some “Christians” foolishly are converting to Rabbinical Judaism--rejecting Messiah Yahushua. Rabbinical Judaism is a very dead and occult religion started in the second century CE by Rabbi Akiva. Akiva’s basic principle in creating this new religion he created, was to demote Yahuweh to the status of
Page 10 just another rabbi, and the Scriptures as only good if interpreted by rabbis. Thus today, as with Catholicism, the words of rabbis and their writings are considered superior to the Tenach—Hebrew Scriptures of Yahuweh. In Catholicism, the Pope’s words, the doctrines of the Church, are put above the Bible as superior. Zechariah 12:7 says that: The “tents of Judah” will be saved first. Since 1948, this is a reality. Now, a remnant of the whole house of Jacob—all the tribes—want to go home—grabbing onto the tribe of Judah (Jews) because a large remnant of Judah (over 7 million now) is already back in the Land—having paved the way for all the tribes, though most Jews are not aware of this. The enemy in Judah and in the Luciferic community will try to stop this, but Yahuweh is in control. A remnant will return, join with Judah, and together will be mighty against the evil ones. NOW, LET US LOOK AT THE THREE SETS OF SEVENS, since we are about to go into the last of the three sets of seven, marking the last seven years before the return of Messiah. As the Ruach began to teach me these things, as usual, He has been faithful to send me others who have done calculations regarding the end events. He has sent me some who have done careful calculations mathematically. Math and I are not close friends (smile). It’s not my “gifting”. But, I find it fascinating that what the Ruach has shared with me regarding general time periods to share with you, is “in a very small ballpark” with those who have done extensive mathematical calculations. After all, who is the Master Mathematician? Genesis 41 tells us about two dreams that Pharaoh had that only Joseph could interpret. Joseph said the two dreams were one. In the first dream Pharaoh saw seven fat cows and seven good ears of corn. In the second dream he saw seven ugly, lean and dying cows, and seven dried up and ruined ears of corn. Joseph said that there would be seven years of great prosperity, followed by seven years of great drought, famine and death, because “kadim” (the ancient Hebrew word) would blow on Egypt. “Kadima”—the forward-moving East wind—is the name of the ruling party in Israel now—the party started by Ariel Sharon, now ruled by Ehud Olmert. Now, July 2007, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is following America’s and the United Nation’s dictates (“resolutions”) to give the Palestinians their “State”—actually their launching pad from which to destroy Israel! Olmert has already brought great destruction to Israel. I want to briefly compare three sets of sevens to Pharaoh’s dream. Now Kadima is in control of Israel, and this is very prophetic. I want to show you that we are entering this Yom Teruah, into the last set of seven years before the year of Jubilee begins. As per my article “The Smittah Year Prophecy”, about 400 years ago, Jewish sages found a seven-year cycle in the Scriptures. From this, they could predict that on September 29, 2000 CE, a war cycle would begin that would not end until Messiah came. They predicted that it would begin the judgment on the nations, and that everything would change from that point on. Let’s see if they were accurate:
Page 11 The first of the last two “Smittah years” began on Yom Teruah, with the signing of the Oslo Accord on the White House lawn September 13, 1993. The Oslo Accord has been called “The Covenant of Death” (Isaiah 28:17-22).. After the signing of this “Accord”, terrorism went up 100%. Now it is called “The Road Map” or “The Arab Initiative”—but all are covenants with Satan for the destruction of Israel. On that day in 1993, the Vatican was given the Temple Mount with Jordan as the overseer. Accord to The Oslo Accord, the Pope was promised that at the end of the seven years, he would be crowned as world ruler on the Temple Mount. Of course, to his anger, this did not happen. This “promise” is for a world ruler, or false prophet, from the Jesuit Order of the Vatican. But, during the following seven years, as with the first seven years in Egypt, the United States, Israel and the world in general had the most prosperous years the world has ever seen. The Dow Jones average on the stock market in the U.S. climbed above 10,000 points. This trend is continuing for a space of time. This cycle concluded on Yom Teruah, September 29, 2000. Indeed the war cycle, as the sages predicted, began on this day as Prime Minister Ariel Sharon went up on the Temple Mount, read Ezekiel 37, and the Intifada began—the war cycle of Islam that will not stop until Messiah comes. Between September 29, 2000 and September 13, 2007, we have had “transition years”—years of the coming together of Lucifer’s plan for world domination, and the setting up of the plans of the world government to make Lucifer’s dreams come true (Isaiah 14:13-14). America and Russia have armed the major Arab nations with the most sophisticated weapons. The Middle East, as planned, is now in chaos. The world’s economy is walking a “tight rope”. And the ten economic regions of the world have been put in place. The one world government has been publicly announced (CNN, BBC—from Europe--May 1999—I saw it). The necessary organizations for the world government are now in place. They just need to get the world ruler, Lucifer—their god—in the flesh, on the Temple Mount. That is being set up also. The final stage of chaos is about to happen, so that “out of chaos, order”—the Illuminati motto—“the new world order”. The Roman Church’s “Order of the Jesuits” --the Society of Jesus--has been planning for centuries to put the Pope on the Temple Mount—but now it looks as if they will put one of their own there—for the Jesuit Order controls the Vatican. As they used Communism and Nazism, they are now, for the final parts of “the plan” using Arabs against Jews to produce that chaos. The Catholic Church is using Islam to fulfill their wishes. These years have not been bad years, just transition years. But, now…after September 13, 2007 – the seven lean years are coming for Israel and for the world because “Kadim”—the east wind that brings destruction is about to blow upon Israel and the world. We are entering the final seven years—one of the three stages of the 70th week of Daniel—in which we will see the rise of anti-messiah, the great tribulation, and
Page 12
the final things leading to the return of Messiah Yahushua. Am I going out on a limb here? No, I am NOT SAYING: “Thus says Yahuweh”. Yet, in my spirit I feel it is “Thus says Yahuweh”. We will see, won’t we? We all have to hear from Yahuweh for ourselves! Many see Planet X (due in 2012), and the end of the Mayan calendar (2012), and other signs that point to the final years. The plan of the New Age religion, which is very actively hostile to Yahuweh and His people, is planning for the “purging of the planet” of all “negative forces” to their plan for world domination—they are in the Luciferic plan along with Masons, Illuminists, the CFR, and all the other approximately 200 organizations that are working in together for the world under their god. My friends, you and I are the “negative force”, the “enemy of the state”, the big thorn in the flesh to Lucifer and his agents, IF indeed we remain loyal to Yahuweh and His Torah, His Messiah and His Covenant. Drought, famine, war, nuclear destruction, biological and chemical destruction, radiation poisoning of land, beast and man, pestilence (disease/plagues), signs in the stars, planets, sun and moon, great distress among the nations, evil, like the world has never seen (Matthew 24:21-25), deception and utter destruction. The set-apart ones will go through great trials, many will be martyred, a few will overcome, endure to the end, and be rescued as Messiah comes. (Daniel 7:21, 25; Revelation 13) After all the destruction of man under Satan (Lucifer), the wrath of the Father will come—and the “day of Yahuweh” will be the worst “day” in human history. Man’s destruction cannot match Yahuweh’s anger. Those who escape His wrath at the coming of Messiah are hidden in Him, rescued by Him--Revelation 11:15-17; Isaiah 63:1-7, and about 200 other passages. In Ezekiel 14 great plagues are announced. Yahuweh says that even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in these plagues, they would only save themselves (not son or daughter) by THEIR righteousness. We are given a righteous position when we trust Yahushua’s death and resurrection for us, making us “justified” or in right standing before the Judge of the world. But, it is through obedience to His commandments that cause us to be set-apart as He is set-apart. “Our” righteousness is our obedience to His Covenant--our “works” or corresponding actions that reflect what we believe. (Leviticus 19:1) We will be judged on “works”—Revelation 22:12, not our belief-system. The Hebrew concept of “faith” is: If you believe it, show it by your actions. I asked the Ruach why He mentioned these three men only? He gave an answer quickly: Daniel was protected through the wrath of man. Job was protected through the wrath of Satan. Noah was protected through the wrath of Yahuweh. The next Smittah year is the year of 2014, beginning Tishre 1—2013 Roman calendar. At the end of the Smittah year, ten days later, is Yom Kippur of 2015 (Hebrew calendar) is the Jubilee year. I believe is the time of Messiah’s return.. Because I believe it, I am doing everything I can daily to promote the Kingdom of Messiah, and to help others to prepare for His return. Do
Page 13 you believe Messiah is coming soon? If so, what are you doing to promote the good news of the coming Kingdom? How are you changing your life to prepare? Are you set-apart from the world system, or are you preparing for advancement in this world? Your actions tell your beliefs. NO—I am not dogmatic, as in “set in concrete” – so don’t slot me as a “date-setter”! I said, “I believe this is the time”—I sense it in my spirit.--most people who are obedient to Him, “sense it” in their spirit. We must not be lazy, sleepy, “virgins”! We must be about our Father’s business, every day! We must “occupy” until He comes…or as long as we can. We must not sit down and wait for “doomsday”. Yahuweh has no doomsday for those who love Him and obey Him! There is no “end of the world” coming—He will renew the earth, and we will spend eternity on down here. I write and teach these things so that you might be sober-minded, and get into the Word, and with the Teacher, the Ruach Yahuweh, and hear what He says! If you are too busy, or too lazy, to do that—then you are forsaking your own mercy. He never did pity the lawless, disobedient, lazy, unbelieving, fearful and cowardly. The time of “striving with man” is OVER! He told the lazy (foolish) virgins that He didn’t know them. He told the Charismatic ministers in Matthew 7:21-23, “Depart from Me, I do not know you—you who are without the Torah”. No more coddling, no more mercy on things done willfully done against His Word. He still has great mercy on the not-willingly ignorant, on those seeking Him with all their heart, mind and soul, who love Truth, but who don’t have all the data input that we have available to us in the West! If I am right, the anti-messiah, sitting on the Temple Mount and demanding to be worshipped as “God” will begin at Passover in Jerusalem in 2011. Others say 2010 for anti-messiah’s appearing. Some say 2013 for his appearing. We’re all in a small ball park, and as the time gets shorter and shorter, the Ruach Yahuweh will draw those who are flowing in His will into absolute details – for He does NOTHING except first, He shows His servants the prophets what He is about to do. (Amos 3:7) I am a watchman and a gatekeeper. I give to others what He has shown me—so they will wake up and get into His perfect will for them. I give encouragement to the non-lazy—the diligent that love to seek out the Truth, and once they find it, they dump the falsehood and obey the Truth. If I am wrong, I will publicly admit it, because only Yahuweh is absolutely “RIGHT”, and we all have the privilege of hearing from His Spirit! We have puzzle pieces at this time, but not all of them. I want Truth—no matter what that means. If it means dumping my lifelong religious beliefs, then I dump them—because I want Truth—and only HIS WORD IS TRUTH (John 17:17; Psalm 119:142 and 160). Those that do not love Truth and adhere to it, will be d**ned (II Thessalonians 2:9-12). Something to help you discover truth: If you will substitute these true words for the deceptive ones, it will change your life. Replace “law” with “Torah”—the teachings and instructions. Replace “Father or Yahuweh” with “Lord”—which is
Page 14 a title related to “Baal”. Now read Psalm 119, and use “Torah” instead of “law”. Six thousand eight hundred and twenty three times in the Word, “Lord” should be “Yahuweh”—YHWH. I have taught end times for over forty years. Recently, the Ruach has led me to very valid revelation that has revealed that there are three layers of the interpretation of Daniel 9 and the “70th week” (Daniel 9:24-27). These three layers of Daniel 9:24-27, have been confirmed by solid students of the Word who know Yahuweh. Prophecy is most always on three layers: Past (fulfilled in history), presently being fulfilled, and having future fulfillment. In my article “Have You Ever Wondered About Daniel 9?” I give the traditional interpretation of Daniel 9:24-27, which tells us when Messiah came into Jerusalem at the time of His entrance into Jerusalem—Matthew 21. This traditional interpretation is correct, and substantiated by mostly all Bible scholars—giving the timing of Messiah’s first coming. But, Daniel’s 70 weeks tell us THREE THINGS: 1) When Messiah came the first time, 2) about His last week when He entered Jerusalem and was “cut off” in the middle of the week, and 3) describes His second coming. I WILL REVISE my article on Daniel 9:24-27, in order to include all three interpretations. It is interesting that the interpretation that reveals the second coming of Messiah ends in Yom Kippur 2017. One thing is for sure: We are entering the days of Kadima—the destroying east wind that brought the plague of the locusts on Egypt (Exodus 10:13). To that most all Truth-loving people agree—believers in Messiah, and Jews. So, please, take all this information and put it “on the shelf” for your future studying, and as things happen check off the information. But, I find it always best to get the data straight from the Author of the Word—for He does reveal “secrets” to those who are willing to spend time, alone and in secret, with Him (the Psalm 91:1 people). As I was in my apartment in Jordan this March, listing things that I saw would happen this Yom Teruah 2007, the Spirit of the Father came strongly to me, saying in my spirit, “I want you at The Wall, the nights of the 11th, 12th and 13th”. I said, “Yes, Sir”. So, I am planning accordingly. The night of the 11th --Why? I will address this in Appendix B of this article. This information regarding astronomical signs of His soon coming, as it was before His first coming, is most fascinating! I am still researching. Please do your own research. We must beware of deception, so always do research with the Ruach Yahuweh to teach you and guide you “into all truth”. (John 16:13) It is nice to know that I am not the only one in this “ball park” of understanding! If I was, I’d be very concerned. Yahuweh does nothing “in a corner”. It is the privilege of all His obedient ones—to know what our Father is doing. By intimate relationship with Him, He can tell us His “secrets”, just as a lover reveals secrets to the one loved, that he tells no one else. THERE IS A PHENOMENON HAPPENING—not only in America, but with people from Europe too, that I’ve talked to—the house of Israel
Page 15 has this “urge” to get to Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) this year in Jerusalem—September 26-October 4th—2007. Why? Most don’t know why—they just say it is a strong thing in their spirit. Who is placing the urge to go to Jerusalem in the spirit of the set-apart ones of the house of Ephraim? A remnant of Judah is already back in the Land. Now, this “urge” is coming on the house of Ephraim (house of Joseph, house of Israel). It certainly is not the enemy drawing them. The enemy is trying to scare people away. It is the Father who is drawing a few home—a remnant--to represent the whole house of Jacob at this great transition time! Many of the house of Israel are also of the tribe of Judah (Jewish). They represent the whole house of Jacob in one body—walking prophetic action! (Ezekiel 37) I’ve heard of some major ministries in Israel and America, who are also stating, after years of research and studious calculations, that we are entering the final cycle of years. Some are saying that this Sukkot might be the last one, as we know it, where people from around the world are able to come freely. Some are saying that 2017 is the year of His return, some 2013 or 2014. Once anti-messiah sets down, stops the sacrifices and demands worship, we can begin to count the days—for the Scriptures give us the days between the “abomination that makes desolate” and His return. It’s just the “day and hour” of the sighting of the new moon of Tishre 1 that we do not know. These ministries are not wild-eyed fanatics. They don’t think they are infallible either. These are humble people who love the Truth and are studying it for absolute reality. The Spirit is confirming to all of us the generalities that we need to know now. The specifics will come as we need to know them! From the cycles found by the Jewish sages, which gave us the event to watch for, which did occur on September 29, 2000, we see that the final Smittah year of the 49-year cycle ends as we go into 2015, Yom Kippur of the 50th year—Jubilee—in 2015--the year of total restoration of all things. We are reminded of Acts 3:19-21: “Repent, therefore, and turn back, for the blotting out of your sins, in order that times of refreshing might come from the presence of the Master, and that He sends Yahushua Messiah, pre-appointed for you, WHOM THE HEAVENS NEED TO RECEIVE UNTIL THE TIMES OF THE RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS, of whom Elohim spoke through the mouth of all His set- apart prophets since of old”. My friends, the time of the restoration of ALL things is Jubilee! Let’s review just a minute to show you the importance of the cycles of seven in the Scriptures. Creation week was seven days…the seventh day was the day of rest for Yahuewh, His people, and His creation as a whole. He established a weekly Shabbat—setting aside the seventh day as a day of rest—Exodus 20:8-11. Every Friday night until Saturday night as you set-aside this day to rest, to not do business, to be with Him, to be with your family, set-apart from the world, you testify to the 1,000-Kingdom of Messiah! He established a year of land rest (Smittah year) every seventh year (Leviticus
Page 16 25:1-7; Deuteronomy 16:1, 12-15), which is a year of release for all. He established seven festivals, marking the seven steps of Yahuweh’s salvation through Yahushua. The seventh festival, Sukkot—the Feast of Tabernacles—pictures the seven thousandth year since creation, in which the Messiah Yahushua will rule and reign with His people for 1,000 years. Each weekly Shabbat pictures the rest and peace of that Kingdom Age. (Just a few of hundreds of verses: Revelation 11:15-18; Isaiah 2:2-4, Jeremiah 23:5-6; Luke 1:31-33; Isaiah 9:6-7; Revelation 20:4-6; Matthew 25:31-32, Revelation 19) Both the Passover Week (which includes Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits), and the week of Sukkot are seven days in length. Between Passover and Shavu’ot—Pentecost—are seven weeks—49 days—ending with Pentecost on the fiftieth day. (“Pentecost” in Greek means fifty). Shavu’ot is called: “The Feast of Weeks. (Leviticus 23:15-16; Exodus 34:22; Deuteronomy 16:16-17) Messiah will be in the wedding chamber—chupah—for seven days with His Bride. From the end of the last day of Yom Teruah until sunset beginning Yom Kippur is seven days. The Wedding Feast is during the seventh Feast. Numbers 19:11-22, tells us that if one is defiled, they must be set-apart from the camp for seven days until they are cleansed. In the seventh thousandth year, our Messiah will come and on that Yom Kippur, declare the remnant of the whole house of Israel—CLEAN. (Romans 11:26-27) For 6,000 years (six is the number of man), man has been defiled, sinful, lawless, and wicked. But, He has a remnant that He will purify—and set-apart to Himself to be with Him in the Kingdom on the seventh “day” from creation. There is more to this, of course, but for now, I encourage you to continue this study for yourself.. With the talk of imminent war on the horizon for Israel—war on the northern border of Israel with Lebanon, and Syria on the northern border of the Golan Heights, and Hamas on the southern border at Gaza, and Hamas now in Samaria/Ephraim (“The West Bank”) as their headquarters, as Egypt has terrorists in the Sinai Peninsula and now has moved into Ramallah in Ephraim, and Iran is threatening to attack, we see that Israel is surrounded by her enemies, and infiltrated with enemies from within.. And to make matters worse, Kadima is the party in charge. America is forcing Israel to give away their land, to be divided up for a “Palestinian State” with East Jerusalem as their capitol. From 1947, Jerusalem was designated by the United Nations as an “international City” under their jurisdiction. Now, the United Nations, the E.U., Russia and America are helping Hezbollah and Hamas, and other Arab terrorist groups, with weapons to fight against Israel, as well as supplying multi-millions of dollars to the heads of terrorist organizations, and controlling Israel’s defense forces. FATHER, SAVE YOUR PEOPLE—THE REMNANT OF ISRAEL! (Jeremiah 31:7-19) It is time for intercession to go forth in great measures, for the set-apart remnant of His people, whom He has chosen for salvation—both Jews and Israelites. I pray that you might follow the Father’s perfect will for your life, as you obey Him without question, without compromise, without pulling back in fear and unbelief. Many are going to Israel this Sukkot, some are even selling their homes to be able to do it. It’s time… With love and Shalom, Yedidah (July 18, 2007) Page 17 APPENDIX A:

Excerpts from: 2012 and the “END OF DAYS”: The Final Countdown… By William F. Dankenbring In the book of the prophet Jeremiah is a frightening prophecy for the end-times. Jeremiah says: “These are the words the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah: This is what the LORD says: ‘Cries of fear are heard – terror, not peace. Ask and see: Can a man bear children? Then why do I see every strong man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor, every face turned deathly pale? How awful that day will be! None will be like it. It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be saved out of it’” (Jer.30:6-7, NIV).
What is this “time of Jacob’s trouble”? When will it begin? Daniel speaks of this same time. The angel Gabriel says to him: “At that time Michael the great prince who protects your people will arise. There will be a TIME OF DISTRESS such as has not happened from the beginning of time until then. But at that time your people – everyone whose name is found written in the book – will be delivered” (Dan.12:1). The Moffatt Translation renders this verse, “There shall be a time of TROUBLE such as never has been since there was a nation.” He describes this awful period of the future as “the crisis at the end” (Dan.12:4) and, “the crisis at the close” (v.9). How much time do we have left, before “all hell” breaks loose? There is a vital key that unlocks this secret door – it is the key of the “seven day week.” God’s 6000 Year Plan: God Himself is the author and creator of time. We read in the book of Genesis, “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years” (Gen.1:14). In Psalm 90:4, we read: “For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.” Notice that one thousand years, here, are compared to “yesterday” – a single “day.” The apostle Peter seems to have this Scripture in mind when he writes, in the New Testament, “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that ONE DAY is with the Lord as a THOUSAND YEARS, and a thousand years as ONE DAY. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night . . .” (II Peter 3:8-10). When the Messiah returns, He will inaugurate a millennial kingdom lasting one thousand years. As John wrote, when the Anointed One, the Christ, comes, the Adversary – Satan the devil – will be bound for one thousand years (Rev.20:1-3). John relates, “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was
given unto them; and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and REIGNED WITH CHRIST A THOUSAND YEARS. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished”(Rev.20:4-5). This “millennial rest” of 1,000 years is termed a “Sabbath rest” by Paul in the book of Hebrews. Paul speaks of this mystery in the 4th chapter of Hebrews, saying: “Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it...For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. . . . There remains therefore a REST to the people of God” (Heb.4:1-9). The Moffatt translation is even plainer. It says: “There is a Sabbath-Rest, then, reserved for the people of God” (Heb.4:9). Clearly, then, the millennial reign of the Messiah is pictured in Scripture as lasting one thousand years, and is called a “Sabbath Rest.” The Sabbath day, according to the Word of God, is the seventh day of the week. Almighty God commanded: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work . . .” (Exo.20:8-10). The pattern of the seven-day week, concluded by a Sabbath day of rest from work, labor, and toil, is a picture of the Plan of God. If the Sabbath of rest from “man’s works,” lasts 1000 years (Rev.20:4), then the previous six “days” would equal SIX THOUSAND years in fulfillment! Literally a “day” in God’s plan is a thousand years, and therefore a “week” in God's plan is seven thousand years! This implies that seven days of the week would equal seven thousand years. And when we learn from prophecy that the Millennial day of “rest” or Millennial SABBATH is “one thousand years,” literally (Rev.20:4), then this tells us that the preceding six days must equal six thousand years. Understood by the Ancients The knowledge of God’s 7000-year Plan is not a new revelation from God to His Church during this End-Time age. In fact, this prophetic knowledge was known and understood by the early Church of God, during the first century and thereafter.. Says the New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge: “The early fathers most commonly looked for the second advent at the end of 6000 years of the world’s history” (vol. VII, p.376). The Epistle of Barnabas, written about 200 A.D., actually expounded on the concept of the 7000-year plan of God, stating that the “end” would occur at the point of 6000 years from the creation of mankind. States this ancient document of the early church period: “Of the Sabbath He speaketh in the beginning of the creation; ‘And God made the works of his hands in six days, and He ended on the seventh day, and rested on it, and He hallowed it.’ Give heed, children, what
this meaneth, ‘He ended in six days.’ He meaneth this, that IN SIX THOUSAND YEARS THE LORD SHALL BRING ALL THINGS TO AN END; for the day with Him signifieth a thousand years; and this He himself beareth me witness, saying, ‘Behold, the day of the Lord shall be as a THOUSAND YEARS.’ Therefore, children, in six days, that is in six thousand years, everything shall come to an end. ‘And He rested on the seventh day.’ This he meaneth; when His Son shall come, and shall abolish the time of the Lawless One, and shall judge the ungodly, and shall change the sun and the moon and the stars, then shall He truly rest on the seventh day” (Epistle of Barnabus, chap. 15, The Apostolic Fathers, pp.151-152). (King James Version of the Bible) Early Christians expected the age of mankind’s self rule to come to an end, to be replaced by the Messianic Kingdom, after a period of 6,000 years. The “Epistle of Barnabus” bears eloquent testimony to this historical fact. Irenaeus, who lived from A.D. 120 to 202, was a disciple of Polycarp, one of God’s true servants in Asia Minor, who himself was a disciple of the apostle John. Polycarp sent Pothus into Celtic Gaul at an early date to establish the region, and he settled in Lyons, when Irenaeus joined him, having been his fellow-pupil under Polycarp. In his battle against raging heresies, which were inundating the church at that time, Irenaeus wrote his Against Heresies. In book 1, chapter xxviii, 3, we read: “For in as many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years shall it be concluded. And for this reason the Scripture says: ‘Thus the heaven and the earth were finished, and all their adornment. And God brought to a conclusion upon the sixth day the works that He had made; and God rested upon the seventh day from all His works.’ This is an account of the things formerly created, as also it is a prophecy of what is to come. For the day of the Lord is as a thousand years; and in six days created things were completed: it is evident, therefore, that they will come to and END at the sixth thousand year” (Ante-Nicene Fathers, vol.1, p.557). Before the time of Christ, the Jews also understood that the Messiah would come after 6000 years of human history.
The Encyclopedia Britannica, eleventh edition, concerning the Talmud, states:
“The view most frequently expressed there . . . is that the Messianic kingdom will last for one thousand (some said two thousand) years. ‘In six days God created the world, on the seventh He rested. But a day of God is equal to a thousand years (Ps.90:4). Hence the WORLD WILL LAST FOR SIX THOUSAND YEARS of toil and labor; then will come one thousand years of Sabbath rest for the people of God in the kingdom of the Messiah.’ This idea must have already been very common in the first century before Christ” (“Millennium,” p.459).
The Jewish Encyclopedia goes into greater detail: “The Perso-Babylonian world-year of twelve millenniums, however,
was transformed in Jewish eschatology into a world-week of seven millenniums corresponding with the week of Creation. The verse, ‘A thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday’ (Ps.90:4) having suggested the idea that the present world of toil is to be followed by a Sabbatical millennium, ‘the world to come.’ Of these the six millenniums were again divided, as in Parsism, into three periods: the first 2000 years devoid of the law; the next 2000 years under the rule of the law; and the last 2000 years preparing amid struggles and through catastrophes for the rule of the Messiah” (“Eschatology,” The Jewish Encyclopedia, V, p.211).
The Messianic era, then, is the last 2,000 of the cycle. David Stern, in the Jewish New Testament Commentary, explains the deep roots of the six thousand year plan of God in ancient Judaism. In his commentary on II Peter, chapter 3:8-10, and the “day is a thousand year” principle, Stern writes: “This idea, taken from Psalm 90:4 . . . has deep roots in Judaism, specifically in connection with dating the Messianic Era. A famous example is found in the Talmud, in Tractate Sanhedrin: Rav Kattina said, “The world will exist for six thousand years, then for one thousand it will be desolate, as it is said, ‘The Lord alone will be exalted in that day’” (Isaiah 2:11). . .. . ‘It has been taught in accordance with Rav Kattina, “Just as every seventh year is a year of sh’mittah [letting the land lie fallow], so it is with the world: one thousand years out of seven are to be fallow – as proved by the following three texts taken together [in which the key word is “day”]: ‘The Lord alone will be exalted in that day’ (Isa.2:11); ‘A psalm and song for the day of Shabbat’ meaning the day that is entirely Shabbat; and, ‘For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past’” (Psalm 90:4). ‘The school of Eliyahu [Elijah] teaches: “The world exists for six thousand years – two thousand of them tohu [“void”]; two thousand, Torah; and two thousand, the era of the Messiah. But because of our numerous iniquities many of these years have been lost”’ (Sanhedrin 97a-97b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPENDIX B: SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS
Luke 21:25-27: “And there shall be signs in the sun, and moon, and stars, and on earth anxiety of nations, in bewilderment at the roaring of the seas, and agitation, men’s hearts fainting from fear ad the expectation of what is coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. AND THEN they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory. And when these things begin to take place, look up and lift up your heads, for our redemption draws near”.
Some believers are going off into a ditch with watching the heavens—the constellations, the movement of planets, for “signs”—BEWARE! We’re not to go around looking for
“signs and wonders”, for the anti-messiah’s false prophet will show us deceiving signs and wonder (Revelation 13), and deceive the whole world. Some have begun to study the star constellations, from a “Christian” prospective, and have lost their passion they once had for the Word. We can only be focused on one thing at a time—and we must not take our focus off of hearing Him, knowing Him, knowing His Word, and promoting the Gospel of the Kingdom as He leads us. One thing Lucifer doesn’t want is people who know the Word of Yahuweh. He doesn’t care what we believe, as long as it doesn’t develop into a relationship with Yahuweh and Yahushua—Elohim of Israel. Lucifer is very happy to have the children of Yahuweh training their eyes on his realm—the place that Yahuweh kicked he and a third of the angels out of heaven into—the solar system.. It is dangerous to be fascinated with things that are also observed in the occult, pagan world. The lust of the soul will take us from the passion of the spirit. Lucifer has created a religion around the creation of Yahuweh. (Romans 1) Yet, there are places in the Word that talk about His creation as signs of things on earth—one, of course, being the constellation configuration of Revelation 12. But, we must not take anything further than what Yahuweh intends. My greatest grief in being among the “believers” in Messiah, even Torah-guarding believers, is that hardly anyone knows how to hear from the Spirit of the Father and yet Romans 8:14 says: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of Elohim, these are the sons of Elohim”. I Corinthians 12: The Ruach gives us “discernment of spirits”. He lets us know what is of Him, what is of man (including what is out of our own head), and what is of Satan. If we are not sensitive to hear Him in our spirit, we can easily mix these up—and think we’re hearing and seeing from the wrong one. If we do not daily hear in our spirit from the Spirit of Elohim, we are left to fend for ourselves out of our logical mind—and this is extremely dangerous. Our mind and emotions are unstable—one day we feel one way, and another day we feel another way. Our “head logic” comes from input of data we’ve collected from our babyhood. It does not always come up with the right answers, because of falsehoods mixed into our collection of data. One thing He did give us in our soul that I appreciate—He gave us all “free will”. He won’t over ride our free will. We can choose to let Him direct our steps, or we can choose to direct our own steps, or choose to let the enemy direct us, as world rulers are doing today. We can make a choice as to who we want to believe and follow. I Thessalonians 5:23: “And the Elohim of peace Himself set you completely apart, and your entire spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Master Yahushua Messiah!” We are not just a body with an intellectual mind, as the world wants us to think—we are not animals. We are created in the image and likeness of Elohim. We have an eternal spirit that contacts the realm of eternity that actually comes alive and is set-apart unto Yahuweh when we give our lives to Messiah Yahushua and enter into the Covenant of Yahuweh. Hebrew 4:12 tells us that the Word of Elohim cuts, like a two-edged sword, between the soul and the spirit. This happens when we are born from above—it is an action by the Ruach Yahuweh, so that we can contact His realm. There are twenty-six things that the Ruach Yahuweh does when we give our lives to Messiah in covenant relationship. We have a physical body and a spiritual body. The spiritual body is made up of a soul
and a spirit. Excerpts from I Corinthians 2:12-15: “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of Elohim, that we might know the things that are freely given to us by Elohim…but the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of Elohim, for they are foolishness to him, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned”. Too many so-called “believers” are running around with intellectual belief systems that they got from a pastor or rabbi or TV evangelist, off the internet or from reading a book, and proceed to live their lives by the world’s standards, though moral, not knowing how to be led by the Ruach Yahuweh, or how to obey His instructions. Therefore, when the Mark 13:9-11 scenario happens, they will panic and fall apart. We have a “soul”—“nephish” in Hebrew, “psyche” in Greek—which includes the intellectual mind that works through the brain, and our emotions, our will. It is the seat of reason, and the seat of the sin nature (our carnal, fleshly instincts)—which contacts the earth-realm. But, if we are Messiah’s, through the transforming power of the Spirit of Yahuweh, we also have a spirit—“ruach’ in Hebrew, or a “pnuma” in Greek--that becomes eternally alive unto Him. Our soul works through the brain. Our spirit that contacts eternity is located in our belly area—in the “heart” of us--the loins area, which we are to “gird with truth”. Our eternal spirit has a mind—the “mind of Messiah”--that contacts Yahuweh’s realm. It is here in that area of our spirit being that the Ruach speaks to us in about forty different ways. But, the “still, small voice”, in our spirit is still the main way He speaks, as He instructs us in the Word, and in His will for us daily. I have heard His “voice” and interacted with Him in my spirit since I was a young child. I know His voice. The Bible talks continually about His servants hearing His voice—from the time of the Garden of Eden on. Messiah says that His sheep know His voice, so that a stranger they will not follow--John 10. He speaks to us in the “secret” place—most inner place in our being, which can be compared to the Most Set-Apart Place in the tabernacle or Temple. Because of this interaction between our Father and Messiah and our spirit, slowly but surely, our soul-mind of rationale will begin to “give in” to the will of the spirit, as the spirit grows strong through His interaction with us, and our obedience to the Word. This is called “the saving of the soul”. This is why Paul said there was a battle between the soul and spirit. The soul is the seat of the “flesh”, the “carnal mind” that is now being programmed by the world elite of Lucifer to think like he wants us to think. At least he’s working hard to program us. Those that turn off the medias of programming, and get into the Word and know Him, and know His nature, are not going to be so easily deceived. Those who live and walk in the Spirit, as the Word instructs us, will be able to think clearly from the spirit, even when the mind shuts down from trauma. I know this by experience very, very, very well. This is why strong believers who have amnesia can not know their names, their family’s names, or where they are, but can quote much Scripture—because the Scripture is in their spirit, even though their mind is not functioning. This happened to me in 1997 in Tanzania, Africa, when I had malaria and did not know my own name, but could preach for hours, because I heard His voice in my spirit, and spoke out what He said—again Mark 13;9-11. I said all this to let you know that Lucifer is attracting people’s minds, the rational intellectual, logical thought of humans, into what he wants them to focus on. In America we are being, and have been, mind programmed far beyond what we know has happened to us. Our thoughts are not His thoughts—unless we are so in the Word that we are
transformed by His power. We must not focus on anything but His Word, His will, and His Person. We are in preparation now for a time when hearing from Him will save our lives. Our mind is constantly in flux—because it contacts the world through the five senses: Seeing, hearing, smelling, touching and tasting. The mind and emotions are very unstable. This is why people who have been “Christians” for years, workers in the church and even had ministries, are converting to Judaism--rejecting their Jesus. How can you reject someone you know, love, trust and have lived with? It is because they have a “belief-system”—head thinking—and have not been truly transformed in their spirit. There will be a great apostasy—a great falling away—because when the man of lawlessness appears, he will use hypnotism, mind control, and mind manipulation, by technology and by supernatural power, and those who do not know Him, will fall prey to it. II Thessalonians 2:3: “Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day (day of Yahuweh) shall not come except there first be a great falling away (apostasy—falling away from the faith), and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition…” We learn from Genesis 3 and I John 2:15-17, that the “lust of the eyes” is what causes us to sin more than anything else. Through the eyes, we take in what is pleasing to us—encouraging lust and desire—that can cause us to sin. This is part of the soul-realm. Lucifer, in the Garden of Eden, appealed to Eve’s mental processes—her mind—her “pride of life”. Lucifer attacks the mind and the emotions, in order to confuse us, or, with logic, to persuade us to think his way. Therefore, the soul does not contact the realm of Yahuweh. It is earth-bound, though it can be “transformed” by the Word, so that it comes into alignment with our eternal spirit. (Romans 12:1-2; Hebrews 4:12; Romans 8:6-10) This is what is called “the saving of the soul”. (Hebrews 10:39) The main theme of the Bible is the return of tribes of Israel to the Land, the salvation of a remnant of His set-apart ones at the return of Messiah, the Kingdom on earth, and our part in it. We must never major on minors. Looking at planets and stars are minors, compared to what Yahuweh is about to do on earth! Our passion must be to align ourselves with what is on His heart. We are to keep our eyes on Yahuweh and Yahushua, and Their plan. We are to unite with Their heart—which is Jeremiah 32:41—the restoration of the whole house of Jacob—all the tribes—back to the Land, from which He had to drive them because of their idolatry—their worship of things that are not of Him. Our focus must be that of Isaiah 26:3 (Amplified Bible): “You will guard him, and keep him in a perfect and constant peace, whose mind…is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.” My friends, it is highly dangerous to focus our attention on anything or anyone else than Yahuweh and Yahushua at this time. This world is about to be destroyed by Him—so to be entrenched in it could cost us our eternal salvation. Only the Spirit (Ruach) of the Father can teach us absolute Truth (John 14:26; 16:13). People are running to human teachers for understanding, and the Teacher Himself is the only one that can give it perfectly. The Father, oftentimes, uses man to confirm what He has already taught us. (I John 2:27) He picks men to confirm, who are hearing from Him! But, I do want to give you some information here—some is solid information and some, perhaps, is speculative. The “speculative” – please, put on a shelf for further reference.
Don’t go telling people I said something that I didn’t say. I report this for both of our benefits, to see what the Spirit says about it. We may need to throw it out at some point. Some things now are on a “we’ll see” basis. Some are saying that watching planetary configurations to announce Messiah is totally deception—and will lead people to accept anti-messiah. This is a valid possibility. I do hope that I am writing to mature people who won’t take their eyes off of Yahuweh to look into Lucifer’s realm! If the Spirit wants to show you something, that’s great—but unless He leads you to pursue a course of study, then it could be dangerous. We must be daily, in everything, dependent on the leading of the Ruach Yahuweh, to avoid deception. Deception appeals to our logical mind, and to our pride and to our emotions. Deception appeals to our lust for knowledge, for Lucifer’s religion is “gnosticism”—knowledge of good AND evil. The word “Babel” means: “Confusion by mixture”. Today, Yahuweh’s people are being confused by the mixture of knowledge of good and evil that they are getting off the Internet. Beware!! The lust to “know” things of this world appeals to the “soul”. Messiah says in Matthew 24:4: “Beware that no man deceives you…” Right now, deception is rampant on the earth—and the greatest deceptions are coming out of America and American Christianity, which is quickly returning to its Greek base. One thing is for sure, as far as “signs in the sun”—the sun is breaking up. Solar flares are shooting out and endangering both our satellites, as well as life on earth. We know that in Revelation 16:8-9 says: “The fourth messenger poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to burn men with fire. And men were burned with great heat and they blasphemed the Name of Elohim who possesses authority over these plagues. And they did not repent, nor give Him glory”. Joel 2:30-32a regarding the time of the coming of Messiah: “And I give signs in the heavens and upon the earth: blood, and fire and columns of smoke. The sun is turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahuweh. And everyone who calls on the Name of Yahuweh shall be delivered…” (This is repeated in Acts 2:19-21) Revelation 6:12-14, 17, describing the time of the return of Messiah: “And I looked when He opened the sixth seal and saw a great earthquake…And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood. And the stars of the heaven fell to the earth as a fig tree drops its unripe figs, being shaken by a strong wind. And heaven departed like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place…because the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” In 1998, when the moon was blood red, seen clearly over Texas, the planet Saturn was off the full moon’s right left tip. It was extremely bright. I saw it then as a sign of things to come—just felt that in my spirit. The Word gives us so much timing, if we know what to look for. The time of unripe figs is in the springtime--figs ripen in August. This is talking about the beginning of the “day of Yahuweh”—an indeterminate length of time that He will shorten for “the elect’s sake”. The sun has lost near half of its hydrogen. When a star, which our sun is, looses half of its hydrogen, it can “nova”—implode and then explode and go dark. This is also part of Isaiah 13:8-13, from which passage we read: “See, the day of Yahuweh is coming, fierce, with wrath and heat of displeasure, to lay the earth waste, and destroy the sinners from it. For the stars of the heavens and their constellations do not give off their light. The sun shall be dark at its rising
and the moon not send out its light, and I will punish the world for its evil…So I will make the heavens tremble and the earth shall shake from her place, in the wrath of Yahuweh of hosts and in the day of the heat of His displeasure”. From Isaiah 24:1, 3-6, 23: “See Yahuweh is making the earth empty and making it waste, and shall overturn its surface, and shall scatter abroad its inhabitants…the earth is completely emptied and utterly plundered, for Yahuweh has spoken this word. The earth shall mourn and wither, the world shall languish and wither…for the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants BECAUSE they have transgressed the Torah, changed the law, broken the covenant…the earth shall be utterly broken, the earth shall be completely shattered, the earth shall be fiercely shaken. The earth shall stagger like a drunkard. And it shall totter like a hut, and its transgression shall be heavy upon it…And the moon shall blush, and the sun shall be ashamed, for Yahuweh of hosts shall reign on Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His elders in glory!” This and other passages, describes what would happen if “Planet X” comes through, as it did in the days of Peleg when the earth was separated into continents and islands. (Genesis 10:25) “Planet X” is well known to NASA as well as to other space scientists. It has an oval orbit that is now beginning to pull other planets, like Pluto and Neptune, as it is moving towards crossing the path of the earth in 2012, as most people are now saying. This would pull the earth out of its orbit, shaking it like is described above, and position it back into its original orbit before the flood. Some of these “before the flood” conditions are written about in the Scriptures concerning the Kingdom of Messiah. (I have an excellent study on Planet X, if you would like to receive it, written by a Messianic brother, now deceased, who was a researcher par-excel lance). Since 1998, we have had four blood moons—the last one in March of 2007. The “moon will turn to blood” before the awesome and terrible day of Yahuweh”. (References above) In May of 2000, we had a configuration of aligned planets that had not happened in 2,000 years. We must keep our ears and eyes opened, but NOT BE GULLIBLE to think that what looks good and/or sounds good, is good. We can save a lot of time and energy, if we let the Ruach guide our research! He’s an absolutely awesome Teacher and director of research. I know! He shares things with those who take the time to listen to Him! He will protect us from deception, IF we go by His direction, and not follow some man, or woman, into a ditch! We must not be lazy but checking things out. Some things we just have to wait and see about AFTER THEY HAPPEN! What I am giving you now comes under the category of: WAIT AND SEE. There was a star—a configuration of planets—that announced Messiah’s birth, two years before He came, and at His coming, that led the “wise men”, the Israelites from Parthia, to the place of His birth two years after it. (Matthew 2:1-12) This “star” was announced by the Moabite prophet Baalim in Numbers 24:17-19. “I see Him, but not now. I observe Him, but not near. A star shall rise out of Jacob and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel and shall smite the corners of Moab and shall destroy all the sons of Seth. And Edom shall be a possession and Seir (the mountains of Esau where Petra is) shall be a possession…and Israel is doing mightily. And out of Jacob One shall rule and destroy the remnant
from Ar”. (Italics mine) Genesis 49:1, 9-10: “And Jacob called his sons and said, `Gather together, so that I declare to you what is to befall you in the last days.’” Regarding the tribe of Judah (Jews): “Judah is a lion’s cub, from the prey you have gone up my son! He bowed down. He crouched like a lion, and like a lion who does rouse him? The Scepter shall not turn aside from Judah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to Him is the obedience of the peoples”. Both of these are prophecies of Messiah. In the Torah, Messiah is referred to with six titles: Shiloh, Scepter, Shepherd, Rock, Seed, Star and Lawgiver. In Hebrew, the word for “star” can mean a constellation, comet, meteor, or one star. From ancient times, Jewish sages believed that there would be a tri-convergence of planets (Saturn and Venus) in the constellation Pisces, just before the coming of Messiah ben David, to take the throne of King David. Yes, “Pisces”, “Jupiter”, “Saturn”, and other names for planets and star constellations have pagan names—the names of gods of the heathen.. Several of modern Israel’s names for their months come from Babylon—like Nisan and Tammuz. The English language is full of the names of pagan gods, because it is a branch of Greek culture and language. We must also be careful to remember not to use the names of pagan gods in our daily speech. This is difficult when we need to avoid so many! Names of Greek gods—about 25 of them—are common in the “Christian” language. Here, I am only reporting information – not giving honor to gods. On May 4th, 2000 CE, there was a five-planet line-up out of the constellation of Aries that went into the constellation of Taurus. (Sounds like a car line-up.) Venus then went into conjunction with Jupiter in Taurus on May 17th, and Venus went into conjunction with Saturn on May 18th in Taurus. Jupiter went into conjunction with Saturn in Taurus on May 27th. This had not happened in 2,000 years. Astronomers were astounded. Genesis 1:14, tells us that the sun, moon and stars were put in the heavens for “mo’edim”—times and seasons. The Festivals of Yahuweh (Leviticus 23) were given to us as “mo’edim”—the appointments of Yahuweh, giving us timing and signs of His eternal Plan of Salvation. He gave us the “new moon” celebration--the sighting of the first sliver of a new moon--to set the months for the Festival cycle. How long will mankind do this? – Isaiah 66:22-23 tells us FOREVER. Numbers 24:17 tell us that a star would come out of Jacob. There was a “Bethlehem star”—Messiah’s “star”. In Mathew 2, we see that Herod asked the “wise men” what TIME the star appeared. It was two years previously. The star of Messiah appears before His advent 2 or more years. Herod knew that a configuration of planets—producing a very bright object in the sky—would herald the coming Messiah of Israel. A careful reading of Matthew 2:1-6, makes it clear that these “wise men” knew the Tenach, and knew the sign of the coming of the “King of the Jews”—in verse six, they quote from Micah 5:2 regarding His birth in Bethlehem. Many Astronomers say that Messiah’s star was really a conjunction of planets in Pisces. The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, c. 1883, by the renowned Biblical scholar, Dr. Alfred Edersheim, speaks of a Jewish commentator by the name of Rabbi Abarbanel (or Abrabanel), who says the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Pisces will signal Messiah’s soon coming. He says that this is an extremely important event. Abarbanel says that this conjunction of planets would take place 2-3 years before the birth of the Messiah, signaling the deliverance of Israel. (Parts of this book are on pages 28-29.)
In the Ancient Jewish Midrash—The Book of Elijah--it mentions that the star would appear in the east two years before the birth of Messiah, which it did. This information is also in the Jerusalem Talmud, and the Babylonian Talmud. The aligning of planets in May of 2000 was very similar to the conjunction of planets at the time, two years, before the birth of Messiah in Bethlehem. On the night Messiah was born, the Shepherds must have seen this brilliance. On the night of Messiah’s birth, the planet Jupiter came in conjunction with the star Regulus, between the paws of Leo the Lion. From ancient times, Regulus was called “the royal star”, from which we get “regal”. Regulus is a star in the constellation of Leo. According to astronomer’s calculations of this, in 3BCE, on the night of Messiah’s birth, Jupiter crossed in front of Regulus three times—going back and forth for forty days. It was said that the going back and forth of Jupiter all those forty times, created a glittering crown around Regulus. There was also reported a super-nova of the star Vega and the star Altar at this time for seventy days straight, before Messiah’s birth. The Jerusalem Talmud relates an interview with Gamaliel (the same Gamaliel, a doctor of the Law, in Acts 5:34, and who was Paul’s mentor Acts 22:3). Gamaliel had gone to Miriam—mother of Messiah—to find out the conjunction of planets before and at His birth, in order to determine whether He was really the Messiah or not. The Jews of that day knew that these signs in the heavens pointed to their Messiah.. Some Jews today know the same things. Jupiter, who was personified as the king by the Romans, was indeed in conjunction with Regulus, the royal star, between the paws of Leo (who is also personified as a king), on September 11, 3BCE. Look back at Genesis 49:10, Numbers 24:17, and I Chronicles 5:1-2. Ephraim took the birthright, but Judah took the scepter. Today, until Messiah comes, Judah is still the leader of the tribes. Judah has gone back to the Land, and now, as of this September 12th-13th, a remnant of the rest of the tribes can follow. (Revelation 7:1ff) It has been noted by astronomers that on August 29, 2007, Saturn will begin to move towards Regulus, between the paws of Leo. “Saturn” has always been associated with Israel. In Hebrew “Saturn is “Shabbathai”—and represents the day of Messianic rest. Again, I say: “LET US WAIT AND SEE”. This conjunction expected September 11, 2007, just might not happen at all. If it doesn’t we must not be disappointed. We know that there will be “the sign” of the Son of man, in the heavens, at His coming. What this will be, we do not know—yet. (Matthew 24:30) I know that many of the world’s great telescopes are focused on the outer limits of the universe, for the express purpose of picking up His coming. Verses like Revelation 19:19 and 17:14 sound bizarre. Nations waiting to fight against HIM! Yes, as I wrote about in the “Appendix to Vanishing Bees”, the human forces of Satan are indeed in the heavens—the planetary system—with technology that was used in creation itself, to try to destroy Him and His army as He descends. Hard to believe--sounds like sci-fi. But, remember that from the 1950’s onward, all that sci-fi has been actually telling us things that are happening, or will happen, in the form of a “movie”. Movies are telling us about technology, and plans of the Luciferic world order, and plans of demonic spirits, and revealing who they actually are—and the spiritually blinded world’s people think it is “just a movie”. America, the world’s biggest movie maker, is telling truth in the form of “a story”, so that people will not see reality before their eyes. My friends, please know that we are very close to Messiah’s coming—prepare yourself! In closing, here are a few excerpts from Dr. Alfred Edersheim ‘s book, c. 1883, The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, chapter 8:
“But there is one illustrative Jewish statement, which, though not astrological, is of the greatest importance, although it seems to have been hitherto overlooked. Since the appearance of Münter's well known tractate on the Star of the Magi, writers have endeavored to show, that Jewish expectancy of a Messiah was connected with a peculiar sidereal conjunction, such as that which occurred two years before the birth of our Lord, and this on the ground of a quotation from the well-known Jewish commentator Abarbanel (or rather Abrabanel). In his Commentary on Daniel that Rabbi laid it down, that the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the constellation Pisces betokened not only the most important events, but referred especially to Israel… He further argues that, as that conjunction had taken place three years before the birth of Moses, which heralded the first deliverance of Israel, so it would also precede the birth of the Messiah, an
