BABYLON IS FALLEN – CHAPTER 11

The “Who” Reveals the “What”

And

The “What” Reveals the “Who”

The Seventh Seal Opened

By Michael unto the Author

If there is a death in the family of a distant relative, we may receive notification that we are remembered with a monetary amount from their will. How would we identify the executor? The executor is named in the will as the only one authorized to give us our inheritance.
-
If his name matches the name on the notification, this is one indicator. He then gives us a check drawn on the estate of the deceased, which we cash at the bank. This verifies our inheritance in hand. We can be sure he is the executor by what we received from him.

In reverse, we receive the inheritance check from a man who comes to our door, introducing himself as the executor. We cash the check in happiness to receive same. Later, we verify his name is on the original notification. One proves the other. One complements the other.

Messiah Coming in the Name Identified in the Bible,

Dispensing the Anointing, Thus Proves He Is Messiah.

If We Received the Anointing from the Man

With the Name Identified in the Bible to Dispense It,

Then, that Man IS Messiah.

The Anointing is the Holy Spirit,

The Mindset of God in Messiah

Communicated to Us, Giving Us

A Clear Foundational Understanding of Truth

That Leads into ALL Further Truth.

The silence in Revelation 8:1 is what one hears if he is still sealed out, no understanding. We will soon discuss the relevance of “about the space of half an hour.” However, once the seal is opened, we have “WHO” it is . . . that will bring Redemption, and “WHAT” is the Redemption message he brings . . . that truth that brings full deliverance.
-
Christians will say that it is Jesus Christ. Jews will say it is Messiah. They both are correct, but under what name??? It must be understood how it applies to the coming of Messiah, and in what name he MUST come, in the FINAL and FULL Redemption and Resurrection. Otherwise, we have received a deception, brought in the wrong name. Therefore, we have received an antichrist, imbibed a false message as being the truth.

Now those nominal and elementary in their study of the Bible, will immediately go to the Book of Philippians, and rightly raise question, because Apostle Paul says:

Philippians 2:10-11

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The Question Then Rises from the Serious Seeker:

To what “Jesus,” or “Jesus Christ,” would every knee bow? He said in Matt 24:4-5, that many would come in that name and deceive many. It must be Messiah, proven to be so, by revealing the truth in the Sealed Book.

What Book Is Opened,

Once the Seals Are Removed???

Like the other truths behind the previous seals, once they are opened, we can see they are also in the Bible. They bring the Bible into a perspective not realized before. However, the Book, in the hand of God on the throne, taken by the Lamb and opened, is NOT the Law and the Prophets. Certainly, the Law and the Prophets are opened as well, which, once opened for understanding, clarifies the New Testament, especially the Book of Revelation. Heretofore, all of it was NOT UNDERSTOOD. Once opened by Messiah, it comes to clarity. Particularly with the Book of Daniel, the sealing on the Law and Prophets is classified with the other book, the Lamb’s Book of Life. It is identified in the statement, “shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end” in Dan 12:4. The mysteries of God are finished, as He has declared to His servants the Prophets, Rev 10:7, and finally “the books were (are) opened,” Rev 20:12. This indicates they were not understood from the proper source / foundation, until the “time of the end.” Daniel specifies that at “the time of the end,” knowledge would increase.
-
Gross Error:
-
“Knowledge shall be increased,” has been erroneously interpreted by those that are unauthorized to enter Daniel. They affirm this is secular inventions, scientific progress, modern medicine, and even industrialization and space exploration. Many used this façade of license, believing that they could venture into Daniel and understand it. However, the Book of Daniel has within it . . . the defined timing, which must elapse BEFORE the book is opened, no longer remaining “sealed.”
-

Daniel 12:7
And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swear by him that lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
-
The timing of the Last Half of the 70^th Week, time, time and a half, 3 and ½ years, which is 42 months, which is 1260 days, would have to be fulfilled first. Messiah, Michael, through the process of the 2300 days and the cleansing of the sanctuary of Israel’s strength, would scatter or broadcast the power (strength) of the holy people. The result of what is stated in Rev 20 “and the books were opened” reveals the interpretation of the Law and the Prophets. It is not redemption. It is only judgment. There is no fullness of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, which brings, and is, redemption.
-
Again, we see the complementary relationship. On one hand, Messiah opens the Seals, proving he is Messiah. On the other, the Seals being opened can only come from One Source, Messiah. The Seals, stated to be upon the backside of The Book in Rev 5, being opened or loosed, yields, in turn, the ability to understand the Law and the Prophets. This equally opens them. The “precept upon precept,” “line upon line,” of the Word of the Lord as stated in Isa 28:7-20, are then orderly, thus showing proper progression and the end in view.
-
YET . . . all revelation of truth is based upon having the “little book,” Rev 10:1-11, “another book, the Lamb’s Book of Life,” Rev 20:11-15, opened to us in full knowledge, understanding, and wisdom from Messiah. There, we find THAT is WHAT solely brings redemption, the faith of Abraham, which he had prior to any written record. Once we have that, the Holy Spirit, we then can understand, because we also have the key to open the books of the Law and Prophets. On the foundation of total sovereignty, God controlling all things, we can perceive the scriptures. The Spirit in the Prophets wrote them. It is the same Spirit in the Messiah and his Apostles that understood them. Again, we are redeemed to God fully in the “little book,” Rev 10:1-11, “another book, the Lamb’s Book of Life,” Rev 20:11-15, whereby we are given God’s full mind, the Holy Spirit, as it is also in Messiah. Only from that proper foundation and orientation, we then can open “the books” of the Law and the Prophets. Restricted to that foundation, they are then able to be read and understood in clarity.

Previously, the Bible, well proven by the various interpretations and sects of religion claiming insight, remained confusing. We fell backward and were taken by carnal and childlike views, Paul terms “fables” in II Tim 4:3-4. Messiah, the same one in Isaiah 28 that has the “plummet” and “line,” puts things in the proper sequence, by proper interpretation. Like so many pieces of an enormous jigsaw puzzle that are assimilated from one’s assembly table, one seeks to form the correct picture on the front of the puzzle box containing those pieces. God, as to His nature toward us, appears then in a more mature light for maturing Sons. We begin to understand His purpose in the overall way He has dealt with mankind, through history to this point. In bringing that understanding, the childlike view, and the lack of confidence we have toward Him, begins to dissipate as His purpose in us becomes clear.

The Book of Redemption Opened:

It is in this manner; we say the Seals are removed by the opened “little book” of Redemption. Therefore, Messiah brings Redemption in that he opens the little book, removing the seals containing redemption, eternal life. This, in turn, yields the ability to then open the understanding of the Law and the Prophets. It is the knowledge and understanding contained in the little Sealed Book that brings Redemption.
-
Redemption is only relevant when something is lost and needs to be recovered. In ancient and modern times, it is referenced when something is “pawned,” or “placed in hock,” for a loan against that “something” or “merchandise.” When the merchandise is redeemed, it has the loan or price returned to the pawnbroker. The object can be freed from all liens and responsibilities; thus, giving the merchandise back to the original owner.
-
When we (mankind in Adam and Eve) left our first estate of confidence in God and spiritually died, we put our link with God in hock. This true life was given away for the reward of acting (as we thought) as a separate entity apart from God. We became a minor god, under the illusion of self-destiny and freewill. A price is required for us to have that proper life, our connection with God, restored. The price required is our death to that illusion, in order to wake up to reality. Thereby, we can bury the false understanding that we thought was life. To put it another way . . . our price we must pay for redemption, is dying to death, “death” being our false understanding, that we THINK is reality and true. This is the full force of

-
Revelation 14:13

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.

In other words, we died initially by taking our own understanding, but did not realize what the ‘death’ was. We only knew our link to God was lost, which also took our confidence away as well. It yielded an existence of hell . . . fear and uncertainty depending on one’s own decision-making process. Only recognizing that we are born spiritually dead, that we are beasts that perish, can we pay the price of death, killing (cutting off) the false understanding. This is what is required, so that we can receive life, which is proper understanding. Again, that is the already dead, natural man . . . “dying in the Lord.” Then, he can rise in the understanding, the mindset that Messiah also has. This is the Holy Spirit, which is life indeed, restoring our link and confidence with God.

Uncertainty: Hell Follows (Accompanies)

The Condition of Being Spiritually Dead:

Confidence was lost due to Adam not being in full understanding. He proceeded to act as if he, indeed, had it. From that point, Adam died. He was spiritually cut off from a proper understanding of God. Therefore, he was cut off from life, by taking what he perceived to be his own understanding. Thus, when mankind is redeemed, it will be by restoring his link to life – God. This is what also delivers one from hell, which is the uncertain existence of depending upon oneself, and its accompanying lack of confidence.
-
Adam did not attain to God’s image and likeness but stopped short. When having the revelation of truth opened behind the Seals, that we indeed do God’s good pleasure, we then have the Eternal One revealed, and eternal life, via giving to us proper understanding. This states WE did not do it. We are God manifested in the flesh. We are redeemed back to our relationship of confidence in God and life. In THAT fullness of understanding, we are carried even further to Full Sonship, maturity. Adam never arrived there. This is the goal in God’s statement, “let us make man in our image and likeness,” even as Messiah also is.

Michael’s quick summary:
-
A criminal can be redeemed from the prison house, but he is still a criminal. So therefore, he is still guilty. The only way he can be brought back to being innocent is that he must understand the full truth. That truth is . . . that we did not do it, God did it, is doing it, and will yet do it – God in us to will and do His good pleasure. We are proven to be innocent when this is fully revealed, understood as the final truth. Blood atonement covers us to get out of jail, but it is being born again by the Word of God, the truth revealed, understood, God in us, that eliminates guilt and restores our confidence toward God.
-
THE FULL REDEMPTION IS WITHIN THE LITTLE BOOK;
ANOTHER BOOK; THE MESSAGE FROM MICHAEL:
“THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL.”
-
THE BOOKS THAT ARE OPENED ARE THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.
-
The Everlasting Gospel, and the transition to its finality, as the only message remaining, is completely handled in the web document, THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL Has Rendered the Gospel of Grace Obsolete!!!. This is the mandatory reading that we have stated should be accomplished, before proceeding to this publication BABYLON IS FALLEN, where we currently reside in Chapter 11.
-
Another reading of THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL afterward, renders even more appreciation and clarity. It is the message; it IS the “little book,” Rev 10, called “another book, the Lamb’s Book of Life,” Rev 20:11-15. It IS the key . . . the ability to open the other books of the Law and Prophets with understanding. Hence, one follows along with the other. The Everlasting Gospel received first, then releases the Law and the Prophets. It is the catalyst / agent / Holy Spirit / Mind of Messiah, whereby final understanding can be written on the heart.

-
In What Name Will the Nation of Israel Receive Their Inheritance?

In What Name Will Their Promised Redemption Come?
-

In researching the Will and Testament of that Inheritance, the Bible, we have the name of Messiah in FULL Redemption at the end time. It is a name “written,” according to Rev 19:11-13:

… he has a name written, that no man knew but he himself…

It goes on to say:

… his name is called the Word of God…

In Rev 2:17, we see it is he that overcomes that is given:

… a white stone, and in that stone a new name written, which no man knows saving he that receives it…

In Rev 3:12, we read again to him that overcomes:

… I (Jesus Christ that is talking in this scripture to John) will write upon him MY new name…

In Rev 3:21, we perceive the first and primary overcomer (as the example to others, so that they may ALSO overcome) is Messiah:

To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Messiah knows his name for the Final Appearing, the Second coming in victory. Now just where do we expect to find this name that is ALREADY written??? Where else, but the Law and the Prophets.

Isaiah 52:6

Therefore, my people shall know my name: therefore, they shall know IN THAT DAY (once Messiah is here and reveals it with understanding, even as he did with the Apostles) that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

Indeed, it is written in the Law and the Prophets . . . “Michael the Great Prince,” Dan 10:21 and 12:1-7. In short, Jesus of the New Testament returns under a new name. That new name is NOT decided out of thin air. We find he had it all along “written” in the Law and the Prophets. Michael the Archangel, or Chief Messenger of the Covenant, according to Mal 3:1, is also the proper translation of Jude 9:

Jude 9

Yet Michael the archangel (Chief Messenger), when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

As the other earlier believers with pure truth, Jude was speaking from the Law and the Prophets:

Zechariah 3:1-2

1 And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.

2 And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

-
Jude 9 states that Michael said: “the Lord rebuke thee.” In Zechariah 3:2, it states that the Lord said these words. Therefore, Michael and the Lord are the same person. This meaning is displayed by Paul in his statements in I Thess 4:13-5:11, as they compare with Jesus’ words, John 5:24-29:

I Thessalonians 4:16

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
-
The proper reading of this scripture says the dead, Israel (nationally dead / unconverted), about which Paul said there was no need to worry, as though that they had no hope, would rise first in Christ, Rom 11:15. THEN, . . . Christians (that are spiritually alive in Christ, and physically remain on earth at the time of his coming) would be joined with the Nation of Israel. At that time, Israel would have new government under Messiah. They would have been ALREADY raised from the dead (out of national blindness / sleep), in this final resurrection to meet the Lord. Thus . . . shall both of them, “be forever with the Lord.”

-
John 5:24-29 (selected)

“. . . the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God (the voice of resurrection in the Chief Messenger, the archangel) . . .”

The Name of Messiah for the Final Redemption:

Michael of Dan 10:21 and 12:1-7 is the name in the end time of the same Messiah, Jesus Christ, that was present in fall 26 – spring 30 CE, the First Half of Daniel’s 70^th Week. It is clearly revealed with understanding in the opening of the Seventh Seal by the one with that name, however, . . . ONLY when he is present again.
-
Once more, the Law and Prophets set Precedent, and . . . so it is with “The Name.”
-

The type or shadow of this shift in name, whereby it is publicly presented, is first established in Messiah ben (son of) Joseph. “Joseph” was the original name known to Israel. Once rejected, he came to prominence as “Zaphnathpaaneah,” and ruled over Egypt, as stated in Gen 41:38-46. Once he was restored to his brethren, he was known to them as “Joseph,” in his final revealing for their deliverance.
-
Following that precedent, we find the same is true through the Book of Daniel, before Jesus entered the picture. “Michael” is the name given to Israel for future deliverance. This is based upon Israel’s repentance, accepting his rule over them, in contrast to the spirit of the “Willful King,” as given in Dan 11:44 moving to Dan 12:1.
-
Like Joseph, Messiah / Michael was rejected, via Daniel’s counsel being rejected, from Michael given to Israel. This is witnessed in the fact that they returned against Daniel’s counsel, Dan 9:13; 10:13, and without Messiah in leadership, as stated they should have in Jer 23:1-8, Hosea 3:4-5, Deut 17:14-20, Ezek 37, Isa 9:6-7, Isa 11, etc. Therefore, the answer given to Daniel, on Nisan 24, 537 BCE, in light of the faulty return, was not heeded or understood by Israel. Thus, proper deliverance, there presented under the name Michael, Dan 10 – 12, was rejected.
-
Under the name “Jesus,” he came to reign over the predominantly Gentile world, today called Christendom, Acts 4:10-12. Superficial reading of the New Testament, while ignoring the Law and the Prophets, can leave out important things that must be included, in order to have full truth. One may be led to believe that no other name was needed other than the name “Jesus,” given by Mary, his mother, at the direction of Gabriel, Luke 1:26-31.
-
The Key Point to understanding this scripture, Acts 4:10-12, is the statement “under heaven.” Once restored to Israel and his brethren, he will be known as “Michael” once again, in full deliverance. This is the redemption to the kingdom of God, which is heavenly . . . NOT earthly. Clearly, the Book of Daniel specifies the deliverance / redemption is promised to come in the name “Michael,” first to Israel, Daniel’s people, Dan 12:1-7, when the Kingdom of Heaven is manifested in earth as it is in heaven, Matt 6:10, Rev 3:12. According to Isa 2:1-4, Micah 4:1-7, and Zech 14, it THEN brings in the Nations / Gentile world. This is direct from God and recorded in the Law and the Prophets (OT), before Jesus was ever born. This is even as Joseph had his dream, before he came to the rulership that his dream depicted, Gen 37:5-11.
-
Also notice in the precedent scenario, that it was after Joseph was reunited with Jacob and the family, called a nation in Gen 25:23 and 46:3, that according to Gen 47, all of Egypt and Canaan was solidified under Joseph. This is the same in all the Prophets when Israel comes to Messiah as Michael, in change of government under him. All nations will then also come to the spiritual bread of life and the redemption, Amos 8:11, Isa 2:1-4, Zec 14, Jer 31:34, Zeph 3:9, Hab 2:14.

Breaking Down the Name, Its Parts, and Meanings:

In Hebrew, Dan 12:1 translates as Mi-cha-El, “who-is like-God,” Ha-Tsar, “the-Prince,” Ha-Gadol, “the-Great.” Like many languages other than English, the adjectives come after, rather than before, the noun. This is true of French, for example, where “la voiture blanche,” means “the white car,” but is actually spoken as it is written here, “the car white.” So, we have Mi cha el, Ha Tsar, Ha Gadol in Hebrew, literally in English, “Michael - the Prince - the Great,” spoken in common English order “Michael the Great Prince.” It formal statement in English, it is normal to put titles of distinction first, “Great Prince Michael.”
In Hebrew, Michael HaTsar HaGadol, in English is “Michael Craig Clark.”

-
In further examination of the name “Clark,” it comes originally from the word “priest.” It came to be later known as “clergyman,” in Greek terms and in English “clerk.” Historically, the clergy was authorized to keep the records of births, deaths, marriages, or ancestral records. This made them the “clerk.” Therefore, a “Clark” was a clergyman. Biblically, Israel’s clergymen were priests. Thus, if Messiah came to Israel, what name would he bear? It would be “High Priest,” because he is Melchizedek, the High Priest, who is like God.

We have Messianic prophecy that appears to say this is true of the parties Hilkiah (High Priest, II Kings 23:4) and his son Eliakim, actually stated within that prophecy of Isa 22. However, it is clearly pointing to the end time fulfillment of all prophecy in Messiah, the Great High Priest.
-
This is also the fulfillment of the Priesthood of the highest order, long before there was any Aaronic Priesthood. One can perceive in his appearance to Abraham, Melchizedek meaning Melchi - “my king,” Zedek “righteous,” and in English, “my righteous king.” It introduces that which is eternal, not temporary, but forever. Additionally, the message he brings is THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL, which puts one in direct relationship to God as Father, through His manifested Son, according to Gen 14:18-20, Psalms 110, and Heb 7.

-
Messiah does not come in the order of the Aaronic priesthood under the Law of Moses. He comes after the heavenly priesthood, after the order of Melchizedek, Hebrews 7. Thus, it follows, because he is the “HIGH Priest” after that order, his name would have to indicate that office. We see this in:

Job 39:27-30

27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?

28 She dwells and abides on the rock, upon the CRAG of the rock, and the strong place.

29 From thence she seeks the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
30 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.

-
Matt 24:
27 For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

28 For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
-

Therefore, the full name in which Israel would be expecting Messiah would be “Michael Craig Clark,” “Who / One like God, High Priest, after the order of Melchizedek.”

Opening the Seventh Seal – Half Hour of Silence in Heaven:

Any timing is marked by a clear place to start that time, and a clear place to end it. We have seen from Rev 2:17, 3:12, 3:21, and Rev 19:11-13, the new name was understood only by Messiah. Once it is revealed from the Bible, we can enter with understanding as well. Therefore, ALL that he is given by God that sits upon the throne in Rev 4, written in the Sealed Book of Rev 5, we can understand. It comes through Messiah, the Lion, and the Lamb, who takes the Book, being found worthy to open it unto us, bringing Full Redemption.

When Was that Sealed Book Fully Opened to the Messiah???

The Importance of Daniel 9:24 – Following the Path to Blessing:

Daniel 9:24

Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy.

Messiah Does Not Know,

Until God Gives Him Understanding.

Messiah Did NOT Know “How Long”?!?!

As we have stressed from Christ’s answers to his disciples, he knew “what” but not “when” of the Second Coming Mark 13:32, Acts 1:6-7. The crucial point here . . . Messiah is given knowledge at the appointed time. In the end time, he receives those answers, effectuating the end to the mysteries, that were only partially given to him in his First Ministry. This revelation, NOT given . . . as with the missing factor of “when,” left the Apostles and true believers, uninformed in certain things. However, that was until the time of the end, WHEN he would be here again. At the time appointed, he would have the complete package, the Seven Seals removed, releasing the understanding behind them.

THE QUESTION: WHEN WOULD HE REVEAL THE FULL SEVEN SEALED MYSTERY???

What Did Messiah, and Those

Of the First Resurrection Have (and NOT Have)

From 30 CE Onward???

They Had the Truth behind the First Four Seals,

Broad Knowledge, But NOT Specific, of the Sixth and

Seventh Seals as to the “How” and Who”

Of the Finished Plan of Redemption.

They, Like Messiah, Did NOT Know

The “When” of the Fifth Seal.

They knew God as controlling ALL things, meticulously, by the counsel of His preordained and predetermined Will – the truth behind the First Seal. They were quite clear that God was in control of a believer and unbeliever. God was in ALL men working His Will. The Apostles approached and treated everyone according to this knowledge – the truth behind the Second Seal. They were clear as to those ordained to be false prophets – the truth behind the Third Seal. Finally, they understood the true /correct message, which exposed the false prophets’ false message – the truth behind the Fourth Seal.
-
In summary, they COMPLETELY had the truth behind the First Four Seals. They knew much about the way the Second Coming would occur. It would remove Israel’s government and confidence, just before that time. This is the truth behind the Sixth Seal in the broad view. However, it was short of meticulous details, symbolized in metaphors stated to John, concerning the end time. They understood that Michael was Messiah – the general truth behind the Seventh Seal.
-
What was NOT given were the HOW or WHEN, that Messiah would know the remainder of what was needed for the final sequence of events. The FULL Redemption, extended to all mankind, was contingent upon those events. The Apostles had no FULL insight into the half hour of silence, which IS the Seventh Seal. As far as TOTAL revelation, they understood only the truth behind the First Four Seals, the true nature of God in the First Two, and the true nature of that which stood opposed, in the Third and Fourth.

Whatever Messiah Had to Give, They Received.

It Is Called the “Seal of God” or the “Holy Spirit.”

It Is a Clear Understanding as a Foundation of ALL Truth

Thus, Leading One, on that Foundation, INTO All Truth.

It was FIRST given to Peter, as the Keys to the Kingdom. He then, in the upper room, for the next ten days after Christ’s ascension, related all that Christ had revealed unto him in his previous, private meeting with Messiah, in John 21. The original Apostles received the anointing, being within the 120 in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost. From there, some of Israel received the same in Acts 2 and 3, the first believers outside of the upper room.

What Was Withheld???

The Fifth Seal was not opened unto the Messiah, nor the Apostles, nor the remainder of those with them. Also, many details, due to the timing being unknown, could not be related. The fine points were also not known behind the Sixth Seal, as to just when Israel would be brought back into God’s dealing directly. The mechanics were withheld as to how their government of opposition would be removed, establishing proper government under the Sovereignty of God through Messiah. However, they knew the end or goal in view. The government of Messiah would be established in Jerusalem, overturning the government that denied Messiah. Upon that, all blessing to Israel, and then the world, was contingent.

The Full Revelation Is Revealed in

“the space of about Half an Hour,”

Under the New Name Ordained for Full Redemption,

Michael the Great Prince, Michael the High Priest,

Melchizedek, Michael Craig Clark

Knowing his name for redemption, he, in the eyewitness of the author, as given in Chapter 10, fulfilled, to the leadership and nation of Israel, the Last and Remaining Half of the Covenant Confirmation 70^th Week in spring 1984 – fall 1987.

As we see in Dan 9:24, THIS is the requirement: the confirmation by Messiah of the FULL week, not just half of it. Upon that being finished, the blessing would be given, with all that was kept in store awaiting that final, fall fulfillment in 1987. We see further, that the Messiah is blest (or considered the blessed one) that comes to the 1335^th day, Dan 12:11-12.
-
FROM THAT TIME, OR ON DECEMBER 4, 1987, BEGAN THE FIRST TICK OF THE CLOCK ON THE HALF HOUR OF SILENCE IN HEAVEN.
-
The full 70^th Week confirmed and finished, all fall Holy Days confirmed and fulfilled by Messiah, the proof Israel was not in acceptance, came on the 1290^th day, October 19, 1987, Black Monday Stock Market Crash. The abomination was fully set up. Their confidence was solidified in total world control. At 1335 days, the Law of Moses, and deliverance within the Last Half of the 70^th Week, was no longer available. The blessing was solely with the blessed one, Messiah, that departed on that date. From there, we were awaiting the removal of the Zionist regime, so Messiah could rule, “he whose right it is,” Ezek 21:24-27.

The Mystery Hidden, Once Revealed to Messiah, Is

The Blessing that Paused the 2300 days at 1335 days.

Now picking back up with our presentation in our Chapter 10, concerning Christ’s answer to his disciples that:

Matthew 24:22

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

We find it is here that the remainder of what God’s Plan entailed intervenes. There had been no exposure. It was kept silent until that time. At 1335 days, the Messiah left, seeing no repentance or understanding in Israel, and in Jerusalem in particular. It was at that point in God’s time and plan, the 2300-day count of Dan 8:13-14, was shortened (cut short, stopped, paused), by the entry of the “silence in heaven for about the space of half an hour.”

Twenty Years Interpreted from the

Law and the Prophets, In Coordination

with Revelation 8:1, “About the space of half an hour.”

Now let us consider: “ABOUT the space of half an hour.” This is Strongs # G5613 meaning “as, like, even as, etc. half an hour.” Let us return to the Law and Prophets for understanding, in coordination with the Apostle to the Jews, Peter, on this subject. In the Prophet Jeremiah’s record, the final days of tribulation upon Israel are called “the time of Jacob’s trouble,” in:

Jeremiah 30:3-11

3 For, lo, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the Lord: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

4 And these are the words that the Lord spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

5 For thus saith the Lord; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE, but he shall be saved out of it.

8 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:

9 But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

11 For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet I will not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

It is very important to see the setting for this “time of Jacob’s trouble.” That setting is concerning the coming of David the King (Messiah) and the establishment of “rest, and be quiet, and none shall make … afraid.” In other words, this is concerning the period of the establishment of world peace, beginning with Israel. The process starts with the removal of the false kingdom of evil, as stated in Dan 7:24-27. It is the pouring out of judgment, in Dan 9:24-27, upon the desolater of the Promise of Abraham. That desolater has kept the blessing from coming to the Israel of God and all nations, as stated in:

Genesis 12:1-3

1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curses thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

The question bears answering:

Why call this the “TIME of Jacob’s trouble”? Why not just call it “Jacob’s trouble”?
-
Again, another question is: What is Jacob’s trouble, initially, as to Jacob’s personal history?
-
We know his name was changed to “Israel” later. For the most part, that is the name of his collective descendants, nationally, in scripture. There are a few exceptions that still use “Jacob,” but rarely.

Twenty Years Is the TIME of Jacob’s Trouble.

Genesis 31:36-42 a summary description

36 And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?

37 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.

38 This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.

39 That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.

40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.

41 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.

42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labor of my hands and rebuked thee yesternight.

Jacob’s Trouble Initiates the Resumption of The Indignation,

At the Time Appointed.
-

After fulfillment of the Last Half of Daniel’s 70^th Week, the Blessed One Leaves at 1335 Days, Dec 3, 1987, Introducing “The Judgment Shall Sit.”

On the 1335^th day, the Blessed One departed the Holy Land. We understand that this was 75 days after the finish of the Last Half of Daniel’s 70^th Week. It confirmed the Covenant upon which the Blessing of Daniel 9:24 was contingent.
-
Therefore, We Have Two Simultaneous Events:

1. One was private, with Messiah outside of the Holy Land, receiving blessing and final revelation.

2. The other was public, with Israel within the Zionist State, still in its league with Revived Rome / UN, receiving judgment, driving them to the Third Overturn of Ezek 21:24-27, Dan 11:29.

-
The league was fully solidified in world control, said to be “set up,” in Zionist false confidence of the Ezek 14:1-11 deception. The abomination was secured by the Zionists on Black Monday, October 19, 1987, the 1290^th day, Dan 12:11.
-
The Law of Moses, and any reprieve or blessing under that Covenant, were no longer available. Yet, the blessing remained with solely one and his government, no longer under that Covenant. It was fulfilled, confirmed, by Messiah. It was not honored by those under that Covenant of the Law of Moses, the Zionist regime and leadership.

Again, It Is Important that One Perceives

That Both Settings Are Running Parallel,

Much Like a Train on Two Rails:

One rail was in the private events with Messiah. There, we have the finish and completion of the withheld elements, within the Last three Seals, Trumpets, and Plagues. They are brought into understanding and fulfillment. They were left short of fulfillment in the First Ministry of Messiah from fall 26 – spring 30 CE. In particular, those were the understanding of these truths:
-

1. Behind the Fifth Seal – the timing or “the when,”

2. Behind the Sixth Seal – the details of “the how,”

3. Behind the Seventh Seal – most importantly, “the who,” the Messiah, with “the what,” the Message he was to bring for full redemption.

-
As we will show soon, this introduces the proper placing and understanding of the 7 Trumpets and 7 Plagues, accordingly.

The Other rail was in the public arena with the Zionist State. There, we have the “judgment shall sit,” Dan 7:24-27, initiated by the Sounding of the Fifth Trumpet, and Pouring Out of the Fifth Plague. We will reveal the 5^th through the 7^th Trumpets and Plagues in due time. The 5^th was sounded and poured out, beginning just after the 1335^th day, December 3, 1987, when Michael and the author left the Holy Land. Of course, this will demand a firm placing of the First Four Trumpets and Plagues, before we consider the Fifth in detail.

First Let Us Consider

The Private Side with Messiah:

A Day with the Lord as to Time Reference with Us,

Understanding “the space of about half an hour.”

Psalm 90:4

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

II Peter 3:8

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.

So, we see 1000 years, of 365 and ¼ days of 24 hours each, is to the Lord as a day, and vice versa. Therefore, about, (or as, like, even as) one half hour with the Lord is 20 years, when we combine that with Jer 30:1-11, the “TIME of Jacob’s Trouble,” and Gen 31:36-42 record of that time of Jacob’s literal trouble and trial, as we quoted in length above. Arithmetically, that calculates as follows:

There are 24 hours in a day, rendering 48 half hours in a day. Therefore 1000 years divided by 48 half hours equals 20.8 years for each half hour. This is ‘about’ 20 years of time with mankind, even as there is about half an hour with God. We use the 1000 year / 1 day (24 hours). This is also 48 half hours. The ratio is then 1000 years / 48 half hours = 20.8 years, 20 completed years and into the 21^st.

Now using that reasoning privately, or standing alone, is interesting. Without it at all, we still conclude the “TIME of Jacob’s trouble” was twenty years, as stated by Jacob to Laban. The time in the Seventh Seal is “ABOUT, as, like, even as the space of half an hour.” We then join that reasoning, no longer standing alone, together with Jer 30:1-11 and Gen 31:36-42. Therefore, we have a twenty-year period with mankind being about the space of half an hour of silence in heaven, or with God. That is running from December 3, 1987, to and including all of December 3, 2007, for these 20 years. December 4, 2007, is the first day outside of this time-period. Further down in this Chapter 11, we will show additional proof that this is the case.

The Significance of “Silence”:

The simple truth here is that heaven (the seat of understanding from God) was SILENT concerning this truth. The Fifth Seal, the meticulous details of the Sixth, and some other things for the Apostles, long departed, were still an enigma of a Sealed Book. Additionally, the placing of the 7 Trumpets and 7 Plagues could not be precise, or completely understood. This revelation had to be completed to Messiah. There were withheld facets of truth, about which there had been silence, or no understanding. They ARE revealed and made audible for hearing and seeing to Messiah. Within this 7^th Seal revealed was the answer to the Mystery of Full and Complete Redemption, not just for Israel, but for all mankind. It was retained within that space of about half an hour in heaven, which is 20 years on earth.

Fall of 2007 Finished the Final Revelation to Messiah,

As the Blessing Given to the Blessed One, According to

Haggai 2:11-23, and on December 4, 2007, We Have

“From This Day Will I Bless You (Israel)”

That Blessing Being FULLY in Messiah.

Another Threefold Cord

In summary so far, first we have the arithmetic figuring for the 20 years. From December 3, 1987, December 4, 1987, being the first day, those 20 years, they ended on Dec 3, 2007. Dec 4, 2007, was the first day outside of those 20 years.

Second, we have the fact in the Law and Prophets that Jacob’s literal trouble, upon which the Prophecy of Jeremiah 30 is based, is 20 years, as seen in Genesis 31.
-
Now, is there a third witness to establish a threefold cord?
-
The answer is ‘yes.’ It occurred in a manner where human intervention would be impossible. There was no way to try and affect it, and make it come about. All that could be done was to discover this AFTER the fact, or hindsight 20 / 20. Here it IS, from the Law and the Prophets:

Haggai 2:11-23

11 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,

12 If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.

13 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.

14 Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the Lord; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.

15 And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord:

16 Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.

17 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labor of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the Lord.

18 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, consider it.

19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.

20 And again the word of the Lord came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,

21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;

22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.

23 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.

Again, here is a portion of scripture, which, upon the surface, appears to be fulfilled right at the time it is given, with Zerubbabel being the Messiah. However, the key point to keep in mind is the short phrase in the last verse: “In that day.” This is a Prophecy applying to the end time, the final appearance and blessing under Messiah, Michael the Great Prince of Daniel 12:1-7. It is well shown to be the case, based upon the last few verses. They state that complete deliverance and world supremacy comes under the Messiah. THIS DID NOT OCCUR UNDER ZERUBBABEL.

We analyze Hag 2:11-23 in comparison between the Hebrew Bible Calendar and the Julian - Gregorian Calendar. December 4, 1987, to December 3, 2007, inclusive, is exactly twenty years of 24-hour days. In Haggai 2:11-23, the day of blessing, initiating perpetual blessing forward, is Kislev, the 9^th month on the Hebrew calendar, and the 24^th day. Dec 4, 2007, the first day outside of the 20 years, IS INDEED Kislev 24 for that year. Here again we have a threefold cord of witness:

1. the 1000 years / 48 half-hours being about a half hour with God, or 20 years,

2. Jeremiah 30 and Genesis 31 specifying the TIME of Jacob’s Trouble as 20 years, FROM the end of Dec 3, 1987, the 1335^th day of Daniel 12:12, the day Michael and the author left the Holy Land, to the end of the day, Dec 3, 2007,

3. Finally, the first day outside of that 20-year period is prophesied to be Kislev 24, or the 9^th month and the 24^th day on the Hebrew Calendar for the year 2007, which IS Dec 4, 2007, on the Julian / Gregorian, our current secular calendar.

Beyond Human Manipulation or Fabrication,

Rather, It Is Just an Observed Fact:

Again, we can see there is nothing anyone could manipulate or fabricate to try and fulfill anything. Kislev 24, the 9^th month and the 24^th day, Dec 4, 2007, IS exactly the first day outside of the 20 years. Dec 4, 1987, to Dec 3, 2007, inclusive IS after Dec 3, 1987, which IS the 1335^th day. That is 75 days from the 1260^th day of September 18, 1987, which IS 42 months or 3 and ½ years from March 18, 1984, which IS 2520 years (7x360) from March 18, 537 BCE, the beginning of the 7 Times of the Gentiles.

All the Way to the Call of Abraham,

As Detailed in the Following Links,

At the End of This Written Summary:

Moving back from Spring 537 BCE, we come 70 years earlier to the Babylonian Captivity beginning in 607 BCE, under the conquests of Nebuchadnezzar. Within the 70 years in the year 586 BCE, we have the First Overturn of Ezek 21:24-27, the destruction of Jerusalem and the first Temple. Using two methods, we can come to the laying of the foundation of the Temple by Solomon, in 1016 BCE. The understanding of the Prophecy of Ezek 4:4-6 reveals . . . the iniquity of Israel and Judah is borne by God for 430 years. This is through the Temple and its rituals, and particularly once a year on the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, of Leviticus 16. Those years are 430 years from the destruction of 586 BCE, back to the beginning of the building of the Temple, recorded in I Kings 6:1 and II Chr 3:1-2 in the spring of 1016 BCE.
-
As a second record and witness to 430 years, they can be tallied by the sequential adding of the years of the reigns of strictly the Kings of Judah, from Solomon to Zedekiah. By the precedent of Gen 49:10, we do not consider the Kings of the ten tribes of Israel / Ephraim, which are outside of Judah, after the division of Jeroboam from Rehoboam in I Kings 12.
-
This year, 1016 BCE, is stated to be the 480^th year since the Exodus, spring 1495 BCE. When going another 430 years, according to Gal 3:16-17, Exodus 12:40-41 and Gen 12:1-10, clarified in our Chapter Three, we come to spring of 1925 BCE. The Law was given in the first year in the wilderness, the year of the Exodus, 1495 BCE with 1496 BCE being the 430^th year since the Call of Abraham. This brings us to the spring of 1925 BCE for the Call of Abraham.
-
The following two links show first of all, both methods of counting from 586 BCE back to 1016 BCE, which is the year of the laying of the foundation of the Temple. The second link shows the time from the Exodus back to the Call of Abraham. The third link shows the time from the Call of Abraham to Adam and Eve.

A Further Witness in the Law of Twenty Years, Moving to Maturity in the Beginning of the 21^st Year:

Before we move to the judgment aspect on Israel transpiring, as Messiah receives full disclosure as above stated, we want to remind the reader:
-

There is the importance of 20 years plus, or just past the completed 20^th year. One is said to be “twenty years of age,” on the first day of their 21^st year. This is given in the Law and Prophets, according to Exodus 38, Num 1; 8; 14; 26; 32, I Chr 23, II Chr 31, and finally Ezra 3. It is clear that men could not be used in service, until their 21^st year was transpiring. 20 years would be finished and completed, counted from their birth.
-
All those over 20 years were responsible to the blessing and cursing of the Law. Thus, we observe those of that age were not given to enter the land except Joshua and Caleb, due to the failures revealed in Numbers 14. Within the 21^st year from Nebuchadnezzar’s conquest of Canaan, which began in 607 BCE, the first complete destruction of Jerusalem and the first temple occurred in 586 BCE.
-
Therefore, it follows that having finished his ministry under the Law of Moses and leaving Dec. 3, 1987, Messiah would receive the final revelation message within the following twenty years, Dec 4, 1987, to Dec 3, 2007. It is thus, the message came forth from that time, for the redemption of Israel and the world, Dec 4, 2007. It established that which was 430 years BEFORE the Covenant of God under the Law of Moses, the faith of Abraham. This was available with the blessing for Israel in the 21^st year, beginning Dec 4, 2007, as we have explained meticulously above.

Meanwhile Back in the Holy Land,

As of December 3, 1987, “the Judgment Shall Sit,”

Daniel 7:24-27, Daniel 11:40-45, Revelation 9:

Like we stated before, Michael’s final words of note associated with our exit from the Holy Land were:

There will be no blessing until this abomination is removed.

Therefore, just after Michael and the author departed the Holy Land, 1335^th day of Dan 12:12, Dec 3, 1987, we entered the 20 years of blessing unto Michael. Within those years, he received what was not revealed in his First Ministry.
-
At the same time, in parallel, the world was drawn to the Arab uprising. It exploded in the news from the Zionist State in the Occupied Territories of the West Bank and Gaza, called “The Intifada.” The first incident was the stabbing of an Israeli by an Arab Palestinian in Gaza, Dec 6, 1987, the classic 3^rd day after the cessation of the Messiah Ministry in Israel, Dec 3, 1987.
-
Classic Third Day

-
We say, “Classic Third Day,” because we remember Israel’s failure in 537 BCE. The spurious return that was NOT sanctioned by Daniel, Dan 9:13; 10:13, rendered Daniel his answer from Michael. Nisan 24, the third day after the last week he fasted, Nisan 15-21, 7 days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Lev 23:5-8, Michael came to Daniel. Israel looked for, but did NOT receive the blessing of Jer 23:1-8, as we presented in Chapter 4, The Cyrus Deception. Daniel was in consternation, and was informed that the timing of Lev 26:18-39 was then in effect upon Israel, “the time appointed was long,” Dan 10:1.
-
We remember that these Occupied Territories, Gaza, West Bank (Samaria and Judea), Golan, and the Holy Temple Mount, East Jerusalem, according to Dan 7:24-27 and Dan 11:40-45, were, prior to 1967, parts of Syria, Jordan, and Egypt. These three countries had portions of their nations in ancient Canaan subdued to make room for the intruder, the Little Horn of Zionism. The Little Horn came up among the ten kings, Libya, Egypt, Saudi-Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey. It plucked up three horns / kings / countries / nations, inclusive of the Holy Mount. This was the Zionist State, already there since 1948, but then, via military action in 1967, moving by force into Golan, Judea, Samaria, Gaza, Sinai Peninsula, and in particular, the area of Old Jerusalem and the Holy Mount. This is the area Jews call the “Temple Mount.” All of these together are the smaller “glorious land,” in the greater Holy Land of Abraham, between the rivers of Euphrates and the Nile.
-
From November 29, 1947, and their declaration of the Zionist State May 14, 1948, they moved on successfully, as we pointed out from Ezek 14:1-11. They were heralded by the Christian world in many quarters, as being the Promised Return of the Israel of God, in positive fulfillment of many Bible prophecies. They prospered in their takeover without much trouble from the Arab inhabitants, or from the world at large. This was concerning the Zionist victories in 1948, and again in 1967.

The Deception Begins to Fall Apart

In the Arab Intifada Uprising.

This Is the Beginning of the “Judgment Shall Sit,”

The Fifth Trumpet and Plague of Revelation 9 and 16.

Well . . . What About

The First Four Trumpets and Plagues???

The First and Last Half of Daniel’s 70^th Week affect the First and Last Half of Messiah’s Ministry. What WAS and WAS NOT fulfilled in the revelation of the Seven Seals, also affects the Seven Trumpets and Seven Plagues.

ASSOCIATION FACTOR:

~ First Four Seals – Trumpets – Plagues ~

~ The First Half of Daniel’s 70^th Week ~

~ First Ministry of Messiah ~

~ First Resurrection ~

~ Last Three Seals – Trumpets – Plagues ~

~ The Last Half of Daniel’s 70^th Week ~

~ Second Ministry of Messiah ~

~ Final Resurrection ~

As one can certainly conclude, we are very clear that the First Four Seals, Trumpets, and Plagues are associated with the time of Messiah fulfilling one Half – the First Half of Daniel’s 70^th Week. The opening of the First Four Seals was effectuated on the Day of Pentecost for the 120 in the upper room, Acts 1-2. The First Four Trumpets and Plagues are associated with the judgment in the Second Overturn of 70 CE, Ezek 21:24-27. This was the result of the rejection of that First Messiah Ministry to national Israel, after the 40-year ministry of the Apostles finishing that generation.

Remove Not, the Ancient Bible Landmarks . . . That Is . . .

Make Sure They Remain in Position for What They Properly Designate.

One must be very careful here not to fall into the trap of Preterism, which attempted to make 70 CE a finality when it could not be. The THIRD Overturn of Ezek 21:24-27, must end in blessing under “he whose right it is” to rule, and not obliteration of Jerusalem. 70 CE was but the SECOND Overturn of government, Jerusalem, and control of the Holy Mount.
-

A Trumpet to the Believer Is a Plague to the Unbeliever,

Removing Freewill and Self-Destiny in the Light

Of Sovereignty and TOTAL Control of God.

Profession versus Possession:

We will be brief here, in that this should be clear by now to the reader. The believer is NOT one in a profession that in any way still holds self-determination and freewill, deciding one’s own destiny. That is an unbeliever; no matter if they can quote the whole Bible and are the greatest humanitarians in the world. They are dead to the proper foundation of truth. They have none of the Seals opened unto them.
-
Herein marks those that serve God, and those that serve Him not. Yes . . . all serve God, as to fulfilling His Will and Purpose, but that is understood only by the believer. He is one that IS actively, in time and space within their lifetime, serving God intelligently, under precise understanding of God’s Sovereignty IN ALL THINGS.
-
The Trumpet and the Plague Is a Fact,

Perceived as a Positive or a Negative, Respectively.

Let us consider Joshua and Israel’s conquest of Jericho. This is the FIRST introduction to Seven Trumpets, as stated in the Law and the Prophets from the Book of Joshua, Joshua 6. There, the Seventh Trumpet revealed the complete purpose of the other Six. There was no understanding until that Seventh one sounded. What occurred was a Trumpet of victory for the Israelites.

Although there is no mention of the word “plague” in Joshua 6, we will use it here for the purpose of making our point in the Book of Revelation. The Trumpet of victory for Israel was received, as a Plague of destruction for the people of Jericho, with the exception of Rahab and those with her. She received deliverance from the Plague aspect destroying Jericho. She was caught up in the positive side of that same event of the Seventh Trumpet.
-
She is a type of the remnant Gentiles that were called out of heathenism, under Paul’s ministry. When that Seventh Trumpet sounds in the spiritual sense in the end time, they are joined with Israel as the company coming out of Great Tribulation. She was marked out with a scarlet cord hanging in the window. This was so that she would not be killed with the rest of the inhabitants of Jericho.

The scarlet cord is indicative of those remnant believers with enough understanding, under blood atonement in the end time, to quickly act in accordance with the Seventh Trumpet. The others of Jericho had no understanding until it was too late. The Seventh Trumpet, which was a positive to Israel and Rahab, was the Seventh Plague of a negative nature to Jericho.

As It Was Then, So It Is at the End Time . . .

All Is Understood Only in the 7^th Trumpet.

The first Six Trumpets and Plagues, of Revelation 8-9 and 16, are unrevealed and unknown as to their significance, publicly, until the sounding and pouring out of the Seventh Trumpet and Plague, respectively. This is stated plainly in

Revelation 15:8

And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

-
Entering the temple in heaven is to enter into the seat of understanding, as to all God is doing or has done, according to the Seven Seals, Seven Trumpets, and Seven Plagues. They are contingent upon Daniel’s 70^th Week, the temple time period of Messiah’s presence, being confirmed and consummated by Messiah, as to both the First Half and the Last Half.

Part of that Sounding and Outpouring is this publication making known the truth. The fullness arrives in THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL, the cornerstone of the foundation, and capstone of the pinnacle that finishes it. This is understood in reading this publication, BABYLON IS FALLEN . . . AFTER the presentation of THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL. One then follows through to read THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL again. This is the effect on each individual. The events that accompany that revelation and understanding, whereby every man will be delivered eventually, are seen in Jerusalem and the Holy Land. All mysteries are revealed, via the removal of the Zionist State in the public manifestation, appearing, and recognition of proper government in Messiah, according to Ezek 21:24-27 and Dan 12:1-7, as well as a multitude of other scriptures.

Returning to 30 – 70 CE:

The First Four Trumpets and Plagues, Rev 8:7-12, as well as later Rev 16:1-9, respectively, are associated with the First Ministry of Messiah, and the end of the witness thereto, in the destruction of 70 CE, as we stated.

What is the “Third” or “Third of Men”???

II Kings 17:24-41, Isa 19:24, Zech 13:8-9

With the exception of the Fifth Trumpet and the Seventh Trumpet, we have in the First through the Fourth, also the Sixth, the expression the “third,” or “third of men.” If we move to Rev 12:4, we find this is the third of the stars of heaven that are cast to the ground by the tail of the Dragon. We saw already in our explanation of Dan 8:10, that this was those who fell, or were cast to the ground, from their original position in heaven. They left their original understanding and allegiance to the Covenant of God with Israel. Instead, they accepted the league with a foreign power, thus polluting the sanctuary of their strength, in rejecting Messiah under Old Rome.

In practical numbers, this is also all that remains, prior to the time of Daniel, once we remove the 10 Tribes, leaving part of Levi as Priests and Levites, among the Tribes of Judah and Benjamin. Those two tribes remained whole and intact. They had among them as well, a small remnant from the other tribes, such as we see identified in Anna in Luke 2:36-38 of the tribe of Asher. This group of basically Judah or Jews were then called “Israel” from that point. They were about one-third of original Israel, compared to the greater company previous to 721 BCE.
-
Two-thirds are cut off, without identity, spiritually dead, and lost in the nations surrounding the glorious land of Judea and Samaria, in the greater Holy Land taken over by Assyria in 721 BCE, II Kings 17. Additionally, in Isa 19:24, we see those that remained, of physical Israel in the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin with their few Levites, are also called the “third” with Egypt and Assyria. These are the greater company of Arab peoples, between the rivers Euphrates and Nile. They have intermarried within them over the centuries, the lost 10 tribes. Zech 13 shows 2/3s are ALREADY cut off. This is by the time that the remaining 1/3, the same third of Isa 19:24, and Rev 8-9, are brought through the fire and purified.
-
Some teachings in Christendom, those of Dispensationalism, have taught that this is 2/3s of the population of Israel, exterminated at the time of the tribulation of the end time. This is erroneous, even as the so-called Seven Years of tribulation are also erroneous. We have shown above that the tribulation (time of Jacob’s trouble) is spiritual consternation. Their Zionist plan comes under world scrutiny in a 20-year period, while Messiah is being personally blessed with further revelation. Therefore, Zech 13:8-9 is stating the simple fact . . . that the end time purification is upon the remaining “one third.” That is what remains SINCE 721 BCE WHEN THE TWO-THIRDS WERE TAKEN IN THE ASSYRIAN CAPTIVITY, LOST AS TO IDENTITY, INTERMARRIED IN THE ARAB POPULATION, AND CUT OFF. This fact helps us identify Ephraim that joins Judah in the end time, Isa 11:13, Ezek 37:15-28.

Trumpets Are Positive in Respect of Removing.

Within the details of the First Four Trumpets and Plagues of Rev 8 in comparison with Rev 16, we observe they are again quite ghastly in description. They are both negative in appearance. However, the Trumpet aspect, although negative as the Plague / Vial in description, is STILL positive in the view of the believer. They understand the necessity of the REMOVAL of the deception, which rejected Messiah in 70 CE. The party under the Fifth Seal, Jews crying out “how long” and wanting vengeance, also saw 70 CE as a negative.

Short and to the point, only those in reception of the truth behind the First Four Seals saw the First Four Trumpets, in the REMOVAL of the Temple Mount and Jerusalem, as a positive. This was simply because they knew that it was the block to Israel receiving Messiah at that time. It was the power of deception used by the Scribes, Pharisees, and leadership of Israel. It fostered and maintained their hold over the people in the league with Rome for continued prosperity. We revealed this in our analysis earlier, concerning the Herods and that league.
-
The judgment came, even as Christ had warned them to flee, when they “saw” the armies compass Jerusalem. The League with Rome, there since 63 BCE, standing against and rejecting Messiah in 30 CE, in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, continued to deceive Israel for 40 years of the Apostles ministry. When that destruction and judgment came, it was, in the overall big picture, the removal of this abomination to those with UNDERSTANDING, and therefore, a positive. To all others, Jews under the Fifth Seal, and all those in league with Rome as well, it was a negative, and the First Four Plagues.

Again, the Gap:

Between Daniel 11:35 and 36, there is an approximate 1917-year gap of any action. There were the First Four Trumpets and Plagues associated with 70 CE, the Second Overturn, Ezek 21:24-27, Dan 11:29. The process leading to the Third Overturn began fall 1987, with the Fifth Trumpet / Plague, Rev 9:1-12, Rev 16:10-11. This is the gap between the judgment against Messiah’s rejection, in his First Ministry and that generation, versus the judgment against Messiah’s rejection, in his Second Ministry in 20^th to 21^st Century generation. We will now return to the verbatim use of the scripture. We will interpolate comments and paragraphs, as was our custom in the exposition of the Book of Daniel. We will start with the First Four Trumpets and Plagues, moving to the Fifth, so that this gap is fully understood.

Revelation 8:2-5, with Regard to Leviticus 16,

National Israel Did Not Enter Heavenly Things at All.

They Saw No Fulfillment, Whatsoever.

It is very important that we consider the prelude to the Trumpets sounding. We must closely observe the atonement process of Leviticus 16. In particular, this is revealed when we isolate verses 12-13, regarding the Third of Men, the physical people of Israel, understood to be Jews. There is a distinct difference, between what was the practiced under the rituals of the Law of Moses, versus what is seen approaching the heavenly fulfillment in Rev 8.
-

Leviticus 16:12-13

12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:

13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:

-
Remember . . . we explained how the First Ministry of Messiah only fulfilled the entrance into the Holy of Holies by the Blood of the sacrifice, which in the heavenly fulfillment, gave the believer access to God directly. Here, only a few entered fully. We find this is made clear by Apostle Paul’s letters, and in particular, the Book of Hebrews. Messiah did not fulfill the coming out of the Holy of Holies, doing away with sin, altogether. Hebrews 9:28 states that would happen when he appears the second time. The believers that did NOT come the full distance, with Christ and the Apostles INTO the heavenly Holy of Holies, were left outside. They were under blood atonement, covering their still sinful condition in the advocacy of Messiah, until the appearing the second time.

This prelude to the Trumpets reveals that national Israel did not even get as far as the blood atonement, the initial atonement, offered under Messiah. In summary, they did not see him the First Time!!! Let us show this in comparison between Leviticus 16 and this prelude in Revelation 8.

Revelation 8:2-5

2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

Leviticus 16:11-14

11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:

12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:

13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:

14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.

Therefore, we observe in this comparison that in the heavenly application of the understanding of the fulfillment of the Law in Messiah, the way into the Holy of Holies was NOT seen as open and available by national Israel. This is determined according to the blindness of Lev 26:16, “consume the eyes,” extended from the Babylonian Captivity. During the Seven Times of the Gentiles, that blindness prevailed past spring of 537 BCE, Lev 26:18-39. According to Rom 11:7; 25-27, Israel was in spiritual blindness. They could not come to deliverance, removing their sins, until Messiah returned. Termed by the Apostle Paul as the “fullness of the Gentiles,” it was the termination of the “Seven Times more,” Lev 26:18-39, which is the “Times of the Gentiles” of Luke 21:24.
-
The inability to enter / understand Messiah’s Ministry is pictured as the censer full of prayers of ALL saints. It included Jews holding to the Covenant of God with Israel. It is cast to the ground in judgment. It is NOT TAKEN into the Holy of Holies as part of the atonement. Whereas, in Leviticus 16, it IS TAKEN in as part of the atonement.
-
National Israel remained in blindness, awaiting the end of the Seven Times of the Gentiles, which was in spring of 1984. It initiated the final 40-year generation process. This ushers in the Appearing of Messiah the Second Time, doing away with their sin at last, Heb 9:28. Israel’s atonement is in the full removal of sin, not done under blood atonement entering into the Holy of Holies.
-
This translates into the reality that Israel would NOT come to Jesus as the Messiah. They would not receive blood atonement for sin, nor be left as sinners under this provisional covering, as Christians so were. RATHER, . . . Israel moves from their understanding under the Law, directly into the removal of sin in the Scapegoat fulfillment, Lev 16:20-22, Heb 9:27-28, within THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL. This is the same for Christians now that the Age of Grace and blood atonement are finished in spring of 1984. They must also come to the total removal of sin, within the higher revelation of THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL.

Emphasizing No Entry by Israel, Nationally:

Again, we emphasize the metaphorical setting of Revelation 8:2-5 above. Israel nationally did NOT enter into the Ministry of Christ AT ALL. They understood no entrance of Messiah into the Holy of Holies in heaven, as stated by the Book of Hebrews. The atonement process was aborted for the Nation of Israel. This is symbolized by the censer, which WAS for entering into the Holy of Holies. It was NOT taken in but cast upon the earth in judgment.

Jew First and also the Greek,

Trumpets and Plagues Are unto Israel,

And Apply Only to Gentiles, Secondarily.

As we saw in Ezek 14:1-11, the prophecy was unto the elders (leadership of Israel), but included any strangers that sojourned among them. Following suit, the First and Last Half of Daniel’s 70^th Week, fall 26 – spring 30 CE, and then spring 1984 – fall 1987 CE, respectively, are solely unto Israel.

Degree of Affectation:

The level at which the stranger (Gentile) professors in the Promise and Covenant of God with Israel, indeed laid hold of that belief, determines the degree in which they are affected by what occurs to Israel. This is whether in acceptance and blessing, and / or in rejection and judgment, concerning Messiah and the truth he brings. In other words, in taking the position that they have part through the First Ministry of Messiah, as given by the Apostle Paul, they also must receive all that Israel receives as a blessing or a curse. Being part of the Covenant, Gentiles as Christians - the strangers of Ezek 14:1-11 sojourning with Israel – they partake of all entailed, per their commitment to that position.

Considering the First Four

Trumpets and Plagues Verbatim:

Revelation 8:6-7

6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

Revelation 16:2

2 And the first went and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

-
PLEASE NOTE: We will be using the connotation “Trumpet / Plague,” while only occasionally deviating from that usage, in order to separate the two. As we have made clear, they are the exact same event / occurrence. They are positive to the believer. At the same time, they are negative to the unbeliever; henceforth, we have adopted this connotation, for the most part.
-

Understanding the First Trumpet / Plague:

In reading Judges 9, we consult again the Law and the Prophets. We find that the “men of Israel” of Judges 9:55 are presented as “trees” in the earlier verses of Judges 9:9-16. God honored the curse of Jotham upon those that had dealt treacherously with his father’s house and family in slaying them.
-
In Jer 11:1-17, we have a prophecy to Judah and Jerusalem. In verse 16, it says: “The Lord called thy name, a green olive tree, fair and of goodly fruit.” Gen 37:6-8 shows the tribes of Israel as the brethren of Joseph bowing down to him in a dream, as their sheaves bowing down to his sheaf. In that the sheaves were being bound together in the dream, it shows they were of the spring harvest of wheat, or some similar grain. The trees and vines produce the fall harvest fruit. The meaning here is twofold. First of all, the trees and grass, being “green” and then burned up, is clearly 70 CE. The life and understanding they THOUGHT they had is destroyed. Additionally, their link to God, as they understand it, was removed in the destruction of the Temple, Holy Mount, and Jerusalem.
-
Moreover, from the spiritual side, the harvests of Lev 23, are as seen in the spring grass, which produces grains such as wheat and barley. Later, there is the fall trees, which produce fruit, mainly from vines such as grapes. The associated fulfillment of these harvests in Messiah were never seen by Israel, due to their rejection of Messiah. As with the men of Israel that understood Jotham’s curse and complaint, the removal of the one who deceived and killed unjustly, to the believer, was a Trumpet of victory.

As to the Plague aspect in Revelation 16:2, the destruction of 70 CE was purely on those that rejected Messiah, and thus did not have the Holy Spirit and understanding. They were marked in their forehead or hand, believing with their minds (forehead) or serving in their works (hand), in the primary instance, by believing in self-determination, freewill, and choice. This leads to secondarily supporting the Gentile, intrusive government under its appointed leaders out of Rome, such as the various Herods, culminating in “we have no king but Caesar,” John 19:15.
-
The Beast was Rome in rule over the Holy Land, the image unto the Beast was the Zionists in league with Rome to try and effectuate their concept of the Kingdom of God in the Holy Land. It created a deception to the Jews in dispersion (diaspora) and the world at large, that they were the Israel of God in the prosperity experienced at that time. This image supposedly was sanctioning Roman rule and that league with it, and that political government.

-
Again, in its inception, the Beast is Rome at this time of the First Ministry of Christ over the Holy Land. The image is the Zionist idolatrous league with Rome, revered in the world by their control of the Temple Mount and its rituals. It falsely portrayed to the world that it was the Israel of God.
-
Closer study of Israel’s history of this era, reveals how this league functioned. The actual government under greater Rome, as to the rulership of the Temple, was committed to the leaders of Israel, who gave obeisance to Rome. This is clear in their fear of losing this hold over the people, expressed in John 11:45-53. Prophetically, it is carried in Dan 8:9-12; 11:20-35 showing that league and obeisance, as we have given earlier. That loyalty to Rome and love of their position over the people, concerning rulership of the Temple, and its rituals, led to Dan 11:31, John 19:15, rejection of Messiah for allegiance to Caesar.
-
In 66 CE, it reached a breaking point under the ‘claims’ of Christianity joined with Judaism. The claim was that the Day of Messiah / Christ was at hand, against which Paul warned in II Thess 2. Rome turned upon it and crushed them, in 70 CE. We reiterate that the statehood government was not there as a separate nation, in the First Ministry unto the Second Overturn of 70 CE. The destruction was a grievous and noisome sore. It was “noisome” in that it is heralded throughout history as the noted destruction of 70 CE, and is revealed as the Second Overturn of Ezek 21:24-27.

Revelation 8:8-9

8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;

9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

Revelation 16:3

3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

Understanding the Second Trumpet / Plague:

The great mountain is the only great mountain to the Jewish people, that of the Holy Temple Mount. Upon its destruction in 70 CE, the news was spread abroad in the world of Jewry of this great loss. Keeping in mind Gen 10:1-5 “isles of the Gentiles,” those “isles” or ‘islands’ are only so by being in the sea surrounded by water. Thus, the term “the sea” is symbology for the world or nations abroad, generally Gentile in nature, outside of the River Euphrates and the Nile. So, we can perceive this Second Trumpet / Plague, as stated in the Trumpet aspect. The Jews in “the sea” or the nations abroad (the diaspora), yearly came to Jerusalem and the Holy Mount. This was during the Feast Days of the spring and fall, as seen in Acts 2:5-11. Their link and life with God (as they understood it) were now cut off and slain by virtue of Jerusalem, the governmental priesthood, and the Temple being destroyed.
-
The successful commerce, indicative of the “ships,” generated by the Herods in the prosperous relationship into which Israel had been seduced by Rome, as we made clear earlier, also ceased. All of this died and was cut off due to the rejection of Messiah finalized in the great mountain, or the religiously significant Holy Mount and Temple in Jerusalem, being consumed. It was “cast into the sea,” by Titus of Rome. It became just another part of the vast Roman Empire. There was no practical or usable religious significance any longer. All that was perceived by Israel in a link with God as life, the blood, those things surrounding the Law and its ceremonies and feast days became, then, death.

To those heeding the Word of Christ to flee Jerusalem, according to Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, and Paul’s admonitions in II Thess 2, and certainly the Book of Hebrews, this was a Trumpet. It was positive in that they saw his word fulfilled. Those that stood with Paul saw the deception, which stood opposed to the truth, removed in judgment.

Many of those in the nations, the dispersed Jews with Gentiles, believed that the Kingdom of God / the Day of Christ was being established in Jerusalem. To those in this collective move, joined by many Christians in the face of Paul’s warning in II Thessalonians 2, this was a Plague of destruction. It consumed their concepts and beliefs, spiritually killing them as to this claim and their link with Jerusalem and the Holy Mount. Even as many died physically in that destruction and separation, this was also, spiritually, due to that link now being gone. Therefore, “every living soul died in the sea,” spiritually cut off from God (as they understood it).

Revelation 8:10-11

10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

Revelation 16:4-7

4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.

6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

Understanding the Third Trumpet / Plague:

Wormwood is Messiah in rejection, abhorred by the leadership in Israel, making the relationship with Rome, their lifeline as they understood it, according to John 11:45-53, bitter. It was turned upon the Zionists, destroying them by 70 CE. Also, this is like the trumpet and plague, positive and negative aspects, respectively. The waters of life to the believer accepting Messiah, were the same bitter waters to those rejecting him. It exposed their league with Rome, and deception to the then known world, ending in 70 CE.

Revelation 8:12

12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise

Revelation 16:8-9

8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

Understanding the Fourth Trumpet / Plague:

Bringing Gen 37:9-11 again to bear, . . . the sun, moon, and stars darkened . . . the leadership and government of Israel were removed literally in 70 CE, the Second Overturn of Ezek 21:24-27. This is a trumpet of deliverance to the righteous in the removal of that which persecuted the believers, as we see in the Book of Acts, bringing deception to the world. This was so much so that many false apostles went out behind the Apostle Paul, II Cor 11. Many pointed back to Jerusalem, saying the Kingdom was at hand, pulling simple Christians into the deception, against his warnings in II Thess 2, and the Book of Hebrews.
-
As to the plague aspect to the unrighteous, the false government they created in their league with Rome is represented as THEIR sun. That government to which they pledged allegiance in John 19:15 in rejection of Messiah, came against them. This was in reversing the successful and prosperous way Rome had looked upon Israel. Rome, Israel’s false sun and government they esteemed instead of Messiah, then scorched them with the heat of destruction. It brought to desolation all the success that Rome, and the league with the Zionists of that day had previously together, in the deception to the nations, until that Second Overturn of 70 CE. Men blasphemed God because of the plague, which was from God. This shows no understanding of why they were wrong. It left the seeds among those Jews, in their descendants, to return in 1948 - 1967 CE. It was the same deception and league with Revived Rome / UN in the end time, as prelude to the imminent Third Overturn.

The Clear Gap in the Trumpets:

Revelation 8:13

13 And I beheld and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, WHICH ARE YET TO SOUND!

However, There Is No Clear Gap in the Plagues.

The deception being removed in 70 CE, there is no relevant prophecy with respect to Israel, positive or negative. That is the case until the deception returns to the Holy Land in the same league with Revived Rome in 1948 CE, as it had with the Old Roman Empire, from 63 BCE until 70 CE. However, the generation that had understanding, those who saw this destruction and removal of 70 CE as a positive, and in that respect as a trumpet, passed physically from the world. The last one was the Apostle John, around 100 CE, soon after recording this revelation of Jesus Christ given unto him.
-
As we have pointed out previously, those spiritually alive, those who had passed from death unto life in the First Resurrection, were those with the positive understanding. They, being now gone from the world as to their physical existence, left NO representation of the fullness of knowing the truth concealed behind the First Four Seals. There was no positive view of events in 70 CE, as in the First Four Trumpets; hence, we have a clear gap from the Fourth to the Fifth Trumpet. Whereas, the Plague aspect, negative, to those looking for Messiah, and not seeing him in Jesus at all, remained in depression for centuries, since the desolation of Jerusalem.

It is only in the end time under Messiah returned, as Michael the Great Prince, that such understanding is given again in a positive fulfillment of prophecy. In the precedent of Seven Trumpets in the Book of Joshua, the trumpets were sounded under the presence of God’s anointed, Joshua. So, it is again, the trumpets that ceased in 70 CE with 1-4, sound once again in 5-7, beginning in 1987. This is only when God’s anointed is present once more, commanding or authorizing their sounding.
-
Until then there is NO GAP in the Plague (negative aspect). Men still blasphemed or rejected truth in their concept of self-determination, freewill, and deciding or choosing (or so they think) their own destiny. There is no understanding and only a false understanding from which they do not repent. The Nation of Israel continues to reject or blaspheme God with their Zionist, Machiavellian approach to the Covenant of God with Israel.

They stayed in the nations, waiting and manipulating by force and deceit. We perceive their emergence, beginning in the 1800’s, unto its public manifestation in 1948 CE, bringing about an even more pronounced image to the beast. This is the Zionist State as its own entity, an internationally recognized nation. It is still in dependence on Rome via Revived Rome, as a democracy (democratic republic) in the same IMAGE of the democratic world. It is pictured predominantly in its chief ally to this day, the USA, as we had in the Zionists and Rome of the Old Roman Empire league.

We must remember any false positive, as it would appear ‘positive’ according to Ezek 14:1-11, is a deception and meant to sour in the long run. The purpose is to bring Israel to repentance, and to where they will never depart again from their relationship with God, honoring His Sovereignty. Therefore, the resurgence to come into the land out of time via the wrong method, without Messiah, is but a continuation of rejection of truth, and negative. It remains only as a Plague, . . . made more vivid in reality from fall of 1987, the Intifada, Arab Uprising and forward from there. This is the Fifth Trumpet and Plague, which we will address in Chapter 12.

This is the end of our Chapter 11. We have brought our presentation to the Sounding of the Fifth Trumpet and pouring out of the Fifth Plague / Vial. This occurred just after Michael the Great Prince and the author left the Holy Land on December 3, 1987, the 1335^th day of Daniel 12:12.
-
We will go directly into the Fifth Trumpet and Plague in our Chapter 12.
