Doves,
Last week I posted an article titled “The Sun of Righteousness...and the rapture of the church”. http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jan2017/johnb129-1.htm
In that post I explored several discernment's of what God may be hinting at when he uses that particular phrase....... The Sun of Righteousness. Also in that post I put forth the premise that an event was going to happen concerning the sun that would act as a harbinger for the rapture of the church.
A “banner”(Isaiah 11:10) or sign in the sky that has something to due with a representation of Jesus and also has something to due with the sun. I proposed last week that Jesus being “the light of the world” and “the son of righteousness” may manifest Himself (His Face) on the surface of the sun as “The Sun of Righteousness”.
In thinking about that scenario this week I reflected on another area of scripture that I also believe may tie in as well. In Revelation 6 which I believe happens just prior to the rapture, the bible speaks about the sun turning as black as sackcloth. In prior centuries as in the time of John and the prophets, sackcloth was made from black goat hair hence....black as sackcloth.
Now I would like you to look at a picture taken of the sun Monday January 30th where it is turning...... black as sackcloth of hair.

Now if you take into consideration all these varied verses of scripture it seems to me that God is describing what may appear in the sky prior to the rapture. As we can see from this (linked) picture of the sun a great deal of the surface is completely black.
Just prior to the rapture could not Jesus blacken the whole surface of the sun as black as sackcloth? Could He then not insert His face in this black circle for all to see when the sun “arises” and traverses the sky from east to west on a given day? Would He not then be “the light of the world” and “the Sun /Son of Righteousness”as He is described in the Bible?
Did He not tell us in Luke to...... look up for your righteousness draws near. Look up at what? I believe some morning when the Sun comes up, the face of the Son of God will be framed in the surface of the sun within a complete black background. He (His face) will appear literally as the light of the world and the Sun / Son of Righteousness.
Did He not tell we Christians that we were sons of light and sons of the day and that we were not of the night or the dark? I believe He was giving us a hint and a heads up as to what was to come.
And He also said in that same passage that........ He did not appoint us to wrath.
I believe that prior to the 23 September 2017 great sign in the sky......... in late spring or early summer as per Isaiah 18 and the Song of Solomon, that you will see a day arrive that will be the brightest and most glorious of all days. A day when the Son of Righteousness will replace the Sun of Righteousness (so to speak). The sun may also appear to have wings because Malachi 4 states.....The Sun of Righteousness shall arise (arise like the sun) with healing in His wings.
It may be the most illuminating and most wonderful day ever since Christ's church was formed at the first Pentecost. If I was a betting man I would say the God would orchestrate this to happen this year on the Feast of Pentecost in the first part of June. That way He would have “bookends”. The first Pentecost to start the church age and this June's last Pentecost to close out the Church age. Praise the Lord.....what a day that would be. It would also fulfill the prophecies in Isaiah and The Song of Solomon.
Conversely I believe the opposite will take place near the great Revelation 12 sign in September. The bible says this day will come as a thief in the night.....For when they say “Peace and Safety” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. What pregnant woman? The pregnant woman (Virgo) the great Revelation 12 sign that has her labor pains in September and gives birth to Jupiter near September 23........... this signaling the period known as “The Day of the Lord” or the start of the 7 year tribulation period or also known as the time of Jacob's trouble.
This period will be a period or a day that is the opposite of the rapture day. It will be a period of darkness and gloominess ….of clouds and thick darkness. The wrath of God and the Lamb will have commenced. Woe then, at that point, to those who had the chance but rejected Jesus as their Lord and Savior and are then caught up in the wrath of God, the wrath of the Lamb and the wrath of Satan and his earthly demonic realm which includes the false prophet and the antichrist.
Forget those parts ‘cause it looks like exciting times ahead for Christ's church, and we Doves....Blessings, John B
PS...If I were you Doves I might wait on planning any “earthly” fourth of July activities this year......I'm thinking there is a good chance that you will be out of town.....way-way out of town ☺
