The judgment of 11 and the year 2008  Part Three
 
I thought it was really interesting that J.R. Church pointed out that Rabbi Simeon was one of the few that wrote a book called the Zohar in the thirteenth century. A few Jewish scholars in that era said the 7 year tribulation would start around this time period.Of course both J.R.Church and
Gary Sterman issued a disclaimer stating that this was not the Bible. His point was a couple of Rabbis in that time period knew something about biblical mathematics and sabbatical cycles regarding the last days and the tribulation period.Exactly what they understood is unclear to me.
 
Let me give you some more facts.I tend to believe that 2015 will be the next Jubilee cycle.The number 15 even has connections with the Jubilee. "And ye shall hallow the FIFTEEN year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof ...." Leviticus 25:10. Perhaps the year 2015 or 20....."15". Remember the year 2016 is the 19th year (last year) of the Metonic cycle. It is my hunch that 2016 will be the first full year of the 1000 year millennial reign of Jesus Christ.I believe there is a reason why the Metonic cycles are positioned at these pivotal years.
 
Back in 1993 there were floods all over the world. Psalm 93 prophetically corresponding to 1993 talks about floods taking place all over the world.Five connotations are spoken of in five verses in Psalm 93.This happened right around the beginning of a sabbatical cycle for Israel. Now once again climatic changes are happening all around the globe.
 
A peace covenant was attempted in 1993 (Oslo) and now a more strict Annapolis land for peace has been instituted. History is repeating itself in the exact same way; however, conditions are perfect for a doomed scenario where the antichrist will have to step in and confirm a 7 year peace covenant. To me in the way diplomats are setting this up, the middle east is doomed for failure.
 
I think it is almost inevitable that Daniel 9:27 is going to be fulfilled very soon. This will start the 7 year tribulation period. If I am correct, this means the rapture is right around the corner. The irony of this whole scenario is in the mist of all the bad news, we as Christians have good news.This statement will be hard for some people to understand but I can assure you that this is prophetic truth.
 
According to history and the present, the eleventh hour has always had a bad reputation for being evil.I know I wrote about this in previous articles but the justapostioning of Melchizedek written in Psalm 110:4 involves (in my opinion)  the year 20---"11" but I personally believe where Melchizedek is positioned in the Psalms is the greatest prophetic clue to show us we are very close to the rapture of the Church. Psalms 107 to 113 describe the 7 year tribulation period with Psalm 110 right in the middle representing the Servant Candle in this very unique 7 candlestick menorah design.
 
I want to divert in just a very small way based on what I just said regarding the Psalms in a prophetic way. Psalms 107 to 113 are in the form of a 7 candlestick menorah design describing the 7 year tribulation period. In Psalm 107 there are 7 reverse Hebrew Nuns depicting the judgment of God. These reverse Hebrew Nuns look like upside down bowls of wrath.This represents a curse not a blessing.
 
The UN law of the Sea treaty was pretty much signed into law and this is a huge step toward world government. The boundaries of the Sea are far more liberal. "They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters". Psalm 107:23.  Psalm 107:25 talks about the stormy wind and waves.Verse 26 talks about depths which I believe might mean the bottom of the sea.Verse 29 talks about a storm with waves. The sea symbolizes trouble in the Bible. "Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven strove upon the great sea." Daniel 7:2. "And I saw upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea"....Revelation 13:1.Psalm 107 is describing this new world order being formed from the sea in prophetic terms.The UN law of the Sea Treaty was implemented in 2007 (Psalm 107).
 
I did not mean to divert from the subject that I was talking about (Melchizedek) but even modern day treaties are spoken of in the Psalms showing us we are close to the return of Jesus Christ.God has exacted and designed so many prophetic truths to be written in the Psalms. When I researched and wrote" the ordinal perfection of 10 and the righteous return of Jesus Christ" an observation was made that ten ( the law of God ) Psalm chapters from Psalm 106 to Psalm 150 are "Praise ye the Lord"divisions depicting that the righteous law of God will prevail over the corrupt law of man. These discoveries are waiting to be seen by children of God and shared with other people.It is amazing that God would be so exact!
 
The Bible teaches in Revelation chapters 10,11 and 12 that Jesus Christ will begin to take control of the nations in the middle of the 7 year tribulation. This is when our Messiah begins His Priesthood through wrath in a world that has rejected Him. Hebrews 7:14 talks about Jesus Christ rising up from the tribe of "Judah" in the context of Melchizedek and His Priesthood.
 
The kings of "Judah" always took their thrones in the Fall. This is the clue. If the 7 year tribulation were to start sometime in the Spring of 2008 in keeping with the sacred calendar for Israel then Jesus Christ will take power and control of the nations in the Fall of 20---"11." He will start His 1000 year reign and rule in the Spring of 2015.
 
If you desire to go backwards then 3 and one and a half years from the Fall of 2011 would be the Spring of 2008. Remember I said the years 2008 and 2011 will keep coming up through these subjects that I am writing about in prophetic context. Why do these 2 years keep appearing? Could it be they depict the beginning and the middle of the 7 year tribulation period?
 
The kings of Israel always took their thrones in the Spring. Jesus Christ will be the King of Israel. This is a historical fact. I really do not need the history because I see where Melchizedek is justapostined in Psalm 110; however, Doctor Edwin R. Thiele wrote a book entitled "The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings ISBN number 0-8254-3925-X. In the book a clear destination is made between Judah and Israel. Based on Exodus 12:1-2,I could surmise that the kings of Israel ascended to their thrones in Nisan or the Spring. I have been told that Babylonian kings ascended to their thrones in Tishrei (the Fall). This symbolizes the antichrist ascending to his evil throne in the Fall or the middle of the 7 year tribulation period. Clear distinctions have to be discerned for each season so we can understand where we are in end time prophecy.
 
If this were to happen in the Spring of 2015, the fall feasts could be fulfilled at the start of the millennial Kingdom. If you believe that sabbatical cycles run from Fall to Fall then you would have to adhere to the opinion (if you believe that the Fall feasts are going to be fulfilled after the second coming of Jesus Christ) that the battle of Armageddon and the judgment of the nations will be the fulfillment of Rosh Hashanah.There is one problem with this whole prophetic outlook. Since Daniel says there is a 75 day interval between the second coming of Jesus Christ and the start of the millennial kingdom,how is Yom Kippur and the Feast of Tabernacles going to be fulfilled in the first year of this 1000 year rule of Israel's Messiah who we know to be Jesus Christ? These two feasts would not be able to start until the second year of the millennium. This sounds fragmented and inconsistent to me.
 
I think it is good that questions are asked so we watchers looking for the coming of Jesus Christ can have a stronger blessed hope in our hearts.
 
Regarding the subject of Judah and Israel remember the tribulation is split according to the book of Revelation and Daniel into 2 three and one half year time periods. The first and the second half.
 
Perhaps I am not making my point regarding the significance as to why Melchizedek is positioned in Psalm 110:4. I believe this is the biggest piece of evidence in the Bible as to why the world is right on the brink of the 7 year tribulation period.
 
Let me give you two more examples in the Bible. The first would be seen in the way God set up the calendar in the Old Testament. God originally designed the Fall calendar. Tishrei started the Jewish year (the Fall) and traveled all the way through to the next Tishrei.The Fall calendar was the first calendar that God arranged for a specific reason.
 
In Exodus 12:1-2 God changed His calendar from "Fall to Fall" to "Spring to Spring" (Nisan to Nisan). Did God realize He made a mistake by changing the Civil calendar to the Sacred calendar? I think we can dogmatically rule that out. There was a prophetic reason for this progression.
 
The FIRST Order of business is Jesus Christ is going to start to take power and control of the nations on this earth in the FALL which was the first calendar that God designed.
 
The Second Order of business will be that that Jesus Christ is going to start to set up His rule (His 1000 year millennial reign) in the SPRING. God had to progress from the Fall calendar (the Civil calendar) to the Spring calendar (the Sacred calendar) because it was a picture of when and how Jesus Christ is gong to take control of the nations (the Fall) and set up His rule (the Spring).I am not in any way trying to set exact dates but the general principle is implied.Nisan 10 or April 15th of 2008 would be day one of a seven year sabbatical cycle for Israel but somehow it is my suspicion that because of known and unknown factors, this will not be the exact starting point of day one for the 7 year tribulation period.
 
Let me show you a story in the Bible that will explain what I am trying to portray. Daniel chapter 6 is "one" of the keys to understanding this whole future prophetic scenario. Daniel was a Jewish person.He was very high in the government. He not only wrote about the future of Israel but was a type of Israel.Daniel was very high and Israel also rose to the top in our present time era that we are living in right now.What I mean by this is many countries for the most part are trying to wipe this nation (Israel) off the face of the earth. Politicians in that day were trying to destroy Daniel and take his life.
 
Daniel was of the children of the captivy of "Judah." He ended up being thrown in the den of lions but angels supernaturally closed their mouths and he was preserved through his hour of judgment. This is a picture of Israel being taken through the 7 year tribulation period and surviving.
 
There is a second part of the story.The politicians that tried to hurt Daniel were then thrown into the den of lions and they were devoured. Look at the type of animal God chose - a lion. Not a bear,leopard or a snake. God chose a lion. Hopefully you will understand where I am going with this whole thing. The Lion of the tribe of Judah who is Jesus Christ is going to devour the evil politicians and other unrepentant sinners in the middle of the seven year tribulation.This would have to be in the Fall because Judah and the Fall go hand in hand.The Winter,Spring or Summer does not fit the profile for the middle of the 7 year tribulation period nor does it fit the plan of God for the start of the millennial reign of Jesus Christ.
 
This is why Melchizedek is mentioned "exactly" in the middle of a 7 candlestick menorah design in Psalms 107 to 113. He is from the tribe of Judah (Fall). Once again the kings of Judah always took their thrones in the "Fall." This is why the middle of the 7 year tribulation can not happen in the Winter,Spring or Summer.
 
The kings of Israel always took their thrones in the Spring. The Spring ascension does not speak of the Lion from the tribe of Judah taking control of the nations through His wrath. The tribulation is done at this point. It is finished. It is over. This will be a time for the Jubilee! Just like the kings of Israel ascended to their thrones in the Spring, Jesus Christ will follow the same order.He will set up His millennial rule and reign in the Spring because the foreshowing of the Bible points to this season for His second role that He will be destined to fulfill as the King of Israel.
 
This is why the calendar was changed from the Civil to the Sacred because a distinction had to be made from the Lion of the tribe of Judah (the Fall) to the king of Israel (the Spring). Jesus Christ will fulfill both roles. The pattern of Judah will be fulfilled in the middle of the 7 year tribulation.The pattern of Israel will be fulfilled at the beginning of His millennial rule. What a jubilee that will be!
