The purpose of this study is to review the phenomenon of
the Revelation 12 Sign that was astronomically configured back
on September 23, 2017. One will bring up several misconceptions
about how this Sign was portrayed and misinterpreted, in one’s
estimation. The question was posed, could the Revelation 12 Sign
turn out to be a 10-year sign in 2026? Is this the real
countdown to the timing of the Rapture that will close-out the
Church Age? That calculation will remain to be seen. But as to
one’s reply, it is a dichotomy of a ‘yes-no’ answer. How so? It
depends on which calendar one is using.
If one is using the Gregorian Calendar of the West, then no,
2026 is not the 10th year, it is the 9th year anniversary. But
if one uses the Rabbinical Calendar, then yes, the year 2026 is
the 10th year anniversary of the Revelation 12 Sign. This is
based on the Civil New Year of Rosh HaShanah. This date was 1 of
the many mis-truths about the Sign that occurred astronomically
back in 2017. The Sign did not align on the Civil New Year as
sensationalized; it occurred on Tishrei 3. Nonetheless, in
charting the Revelation 12 Sign onto a timeline since 2017, one
took the opportunity to briefly review how the year 2026 could
appear to be prophetically significant. This is based on the
12-year cycle of Jupiter returning to the Virgo’s motif of the
womb region in 2029.
So, if one considers the Gregorian Calendar, then the year 2026
is the 9th year anniversary. Will 2026 then be the year that the
end of the Church Age is concluded by the Rapture event? It will
remain to be seen. But consider the Biblical significance of the
meaning of the number 9. It signifies the completion of a cycle.
Think of the numbers from 1 to 9, with the number 10 then
starting the next sequence of time or a period in question. So,
the Rapture did not occur on September 23, 2017, as proposed by
those that sensationalized it. Many Christians in the End Times
community speculated that the Rapture would have occurred in
2017 or in 2024 because of the Revelation 12 Sign.
This was due to the definition of the Greek word
‘Harpazo’ being mentioned when the Man-Child, Jupiter was
caught-up or raptured just before the Red Dragon sought to
devour it from the woman being in labor. One continued studying
the Sign and surmised that perhaps the 3.5-year marker in 2021
since 2017 would have been prophetically significant. It was,
but no Rapture. Then the 7th year anniversary of the Revelation
12 Sign in 2024 came and went, but no Rapture. But for 2026, if
one employs the timeline since 2017 and incorporates the Jupiter
12-year cycle being in the Sign of Virgo in 2029, then 2026
reveals something very mathematical. What? As far as the
Revelation 12 Sign is concerned, the 12-year cycle of Jupiter
being in the Sign of Virgo is what makes the astronomical
alignment prophetically significant. Consider the innuendos.
A Phi Ratio Rapture?
Jupiter, in Hebrew religious thought is deemed to be
associated with the Planet of the Messiah. Also, based on one’s
working theory that Biblical prophetic events occur in a Phi
Ratio cycle of time, one then superimposed the Phi Ratio spiral
onto the Revelation 12 Sign timeline of 2017-2029. In doing so,
it so happens that the fulcrum or what one calls the ‘Prophetic
Vortex’ of the Phi Ratio spiral corresponds to May 14, 2026.
This is the anniversary of the birth of modern Israel, as in the
Man-Child. So, what does this time-frame or vortex ‘portal’
signify? Is a prophetic event occurring? What the Phi Ratio
spiral’s fulcrum denotes is a unique time that one was
pleasantly surprised about. Why?
It is the nexus where something ‘huge’ or prophetically
significant can, should or will occur on Earth related to End
Times or the movement of the Holy Spirit in some form and/or
fashion. What that will be, has only been confirmed in
hindsight. Well, the Revelation 12 Sign is the celestial motif
of Virgo representing Israel, and the Man-Child representing the
Messiah. But as Biblical prophecy has layers to it in terms of
prophecy, the Sign of Virgo can imply a prophetic reference to
the Church and the Man-Child as the Bride of Christ. The Sign
then would most definitely apply to all those Believers and
Followers of Jesus during the Church Age that are to be
resurrected and raptured.
This supposition is based on one’s understanding of the
‘Order of the Resurrections’. One is convinced that the
Revelation 12 Sign was only the astronomical alignment on
September 23, 2017. It served as a wake-up call for the sleeping
Church. How so? The Revelation 12 Sign could very well be
signaling that this is the last generation of the Church Age.
And how the Rapture will occur just before the Gospel Witness is
to return to Israel for the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, or Daniel’s
70th Week of years. If so, then one is very interesting to see
if one’s Fall 2026 to Fall 2033 time-frame will end up being the
Tribulation Period Timeline. Then the subsequent mathematical
associations of this time-frame identified by the Phi Ratio
spiral also point to a July time-frame. How so?
Well, the Phi Ratio spiral also produces a door effect.
If one 3-dimensionalized the plane of the timeline in question,
the ‘Prophetic Vortex’ corresponds to July in 2026. This is when
the Rapture’s association to an ‘open door’ or portal is opened
for the Apostle John. And? Well, this time-frame corroborates
why one is convinced July, in any given year, is the highest
Rapture watch date. Will it be the Rapture event? This is based
on one’s interpretation of what occurred in the Acts 2
Pentecost. And how one extrapolates this theory of the date of
July 23 specifically corresponds to the Feast of the First
Fruits of the New Wine theory. And this, in turn, is based on
the Exodus day count from Nisan.
Specifically, it is the date of Nisan 15 and a
reinterpretation of Leviticus 23:15-16 to suggest a double count
for a total of 99 days to reach the Acts 2 Pentecost. This
theory is predicated on there being 3 Pentecost’s or ‘Shavuot’
counts based on the ancient Jewish observance of the First
Fruits of the New Wheat, New Wine and New Oil. So, one is saying
that the Acts 2 Pentecost event did not occur or correspond to
the 40 days after Jesus’ resurrection. Rather, it occurred 40
days after Jesus’ ascension, going up from the Mount of Olives.
This was the 1st Fruits of the New Wheat. It was then 50 days
later, on the Feast of the First Fruits of the New Wine, that
the Holy Spirit came down.
What is the Sign About?
Note another misconception. The Disciples were gathered
daily at the Temple precinct after the Resurrection. Contrary to
popular belief, the Pentecost of Acts 2 did not occur in the
Upper Room on this day, it happened to be the New Wine feast. It
was about seeing the Oblation of the New Wine being poured-out
on the Altar. This parallels the events that took place on Mount
Sinai with the Golden Calf. Thus, the time-span from 2017 and
2029, applying the Phi Ratio template, superimposed upon the
Revelation 12 Sign timelines has 2026 being the 9th year
anniversary of the Revelation 12 Sign and as its ‘Prophetic
Nexus’ or ‘door’. This is why the July month of 2026 in the
timeline is very interesting in terms of its possible Rapture
implications, as one sees it.
The following section will delve into a review of what
has happened and where the Revelation 12 Sign is at, as of this
posting. In doing so, it will continue to dispel long-held
discrepancies about its sensationalizing of the phenomena by
some. The astronomical alignment that became known as the
Revelation 12 Sign, contrary to popular belief, is not a
7000-year occurrence. The initial and original ‘Revelation 12
Sign’ occurred in -3915 BC. What has happened since that
Revelation 12 Sign are just iterations of it or approximations
like in 2017. One must realize that every year, the ‘Revelation
12 Sign’ occurs astronomically around September.
This is when the Sun is in Virgo, the 1st Sign of the
Mazzaroth that starts the celestial storyline of the Messiah.
What is the single determinant factor that makes the Revelation
12, the ‘Sign’ is Jupiter. It is the euphemisms for the Christ
Child, and it is in the ‘womb’ area of the only female celestial
motif of the 12 Signs of the Sons of Jacob every 12 years. In
the ancient Mazzaroth or Zodiac, the celestial story of Messiah
starts with Virgo and ends with Leo. This cycle is epitomized in
the Sphinx, for example. What put the astronomical alignment of
September 23, 2017, ‘on the map’ was Jupiter conjoining the 3
main celestial bodies that define the Cosmos from Genesis.
You had the Sun in the shoulder area of Virgo as if
clothed by it. You had the Moon in the feet area of Virgo. And
then the head area is where there are already 12 main Stars
identified that crown her head. Contrary to popular belief, the
3 planets of Mars, Mercury and Venus in Leo did not constitute
the 12 Star crown in Virgo, in one’s interpretation. This
astronomical alignment in 2017 was taken from the Book of
Revelation that defines and delineates the midsection of the
entire 22 chapters of Revelation. Here is where it started for
me. With the advent of Google Sky in 2007, my research into the
Google cover-up of the ‘Red Dragon’ in Virgo was suspect.
Stellarium had been out since 2001.
As an Amateur Astronomer, one realized the anomaly and
started posting about it. It was how the Planets that traverse
through Virgo, depicted sideways appear to be birthing the
Planets. So, this data point was shared in early Rapture
websites like Rapture in the Air Now. The theory was and is that
when the Planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn pass
through Virgo, one should take note of its possible prophetic
significance. Back in 2008, one modeled the trajectory primarily
of Saturn for 2015 and then for Jupiter in 2017. So, as one of
the originators of this ‘Revelation 12’ association with
Jupiter, the astronomical phenomena became a possible ‘Sign’, no
problem.
The Sign is not the Event
But it became a problem. Another contributor to the site
took my research and started propagating it with a spin that the
Rapture was to have occurred because of it. I was not in
agreement with the notion of the Rapture needing to have
occurred because of this astronomical alignment on September 23,
2017. It did not fall on any Biblical feast at all. But as I was
contrary to the sensationalized Rapture narrative, I was
sidelined, dismissed and my webpage later got banned twice. My
books about the Sign and other prophecies were initially banned
also. So, I intentionally remained silent, as to not be
associated with those perpetrating the drama and the
sensationalism over the Sign.
But, for example, the Wikipedia Revelation 12 Sign page
that cited my work at the time got also deleted. So, clearly
there are ‘powers-that-be’ that do not want the real
significance of what the Revelation 12 Sign meant and still
means to be disseminated online. So, I came up with the phrase,
‘Time will always tell the Truth.’ A link to my years of
research since 2008 and attribution will be noted in the end
notes for those interested in knowing the true origins of the
Revelation 12 Sign. But as far as the Rapture is concerned, to
have occurred because of this astronomical alignment? No. Why
not?
I came up with this other phrase, ‘The Sign is not the
event’. Now to be fair, the Sign was based on the Jewish
inference to Jupiter being the King of Righteousness, the
Man-Child. Jehovah does provide Signs in the Sun, Moon and the
Stars in Genesis 1:14. So, the astronomical alignment that
became known as the Revelation 12 Sign was and is based on
precedence of how Jehovah always ‘signs’ to give warnings ahead
of time before a prophetic event or movement is to occur. One
was and still is convinced that the Revelation 12 Sign was and
is the greatest Rapture Sign given to the Church.
It was and is a wake-up call for many Sleeping Saints
that it is the Last Times because it is the Last Generation of
the Church Age, in one’s estimation. One saw this event
correlating to the 10 Virgins waking-up as the call came to
enter the door or portal to the Groom’s house. Since the Rapture
did not occur then in 2017 or in 2024, one continued keeping an
eye on the Sign as it will approximate the Revelation 12 Sign
again in 2029. This is because of the Jupiter 12-year cycle.
Jupiter is like Chronos in keeping time as it approximately
stays in each of the 12 Signs for about 1 year. So, in 2029, it
so happens that on September 11, the Revelation 12 sign will
again have the 3 main celestial markers adorning her, the Sun,
Moon and her 12-Star array in her head region.
Note how the theme of 9-11 is being synchronized and
connected to the Sign. One argues that Jesus was born on
September 11, -3 BC, the true Man-Child and in the Sign. And for
2026, Rosh HaShanah occurs on September 11. So, on September 11,
2029, the 3 Planets of Mars, Mercury and Venus will be spread
throughout the Sign of Virgo in this case. But in the continued
research after 2017? What happened? The next possible time
marker occurred right at the 3.5-year marker, on March 6, 2021.
Why? If 2017 was to have been the year the 7-year Tribulation
Period would have started, then the 3.5 or the 1260th-day time
marker would have been significant. It follows the pattern of
when the actual Revelation 12 Sign occurs in the Book of
Revelation. It marks when Lucifer and his Fallen Angels wage war
in Heaven. Consider this sidebar of inferences.
In the Midst of the Tribulation
It will be the time when Lucifer will attempt his last
invasion into Heaven, but he will be defeated and cast down to
Earth. This is what one has called the Revelation 12 Sign War.
This will be when the ‘Wrath’ of Satan is unleashed. It will
correspond to when the AntiChrist receives the mortal blow to
the head and is resurrected through Satanic Magic and A.I.,
perhaps. Then the Mark of the Beast will be mandated and the
persecution of those that refuse the Mark and believe in Jesus
will be martyred.
This is exactly the time and place where the Woman of
Revelation 12 flees from the ‘Red Dragon’ that seeks to devour
her ‘Man-Child’, the 144,000 Jewish Evangelists who are raptured
to Heaven. She, being the Jewish Remnant, flees to Petra to be
protected for the remaining 1260 days until the return of Jesus.
So, naturally one thought about what would happen 3.5-years
since the Revelation 12 Sign of 2017. Did anything prophetic
occur on this date, March 6, 2021? Yes. Did you all realize that
this was when Pope Frances met with the Muslims at Abraham’s
house in ancient Ur, Iraq?
This meeting essentially formulated the Abraham Family
House Accords of joining Roman Catholicism with Islam in an
ecumenical compact. And? Their physical sign or evidence of it
was and is to have mutual Houses of Prayer, adjacent to each
other. This Accord is what the Abraham Houses are all about. It
is staging for the eventual AntiChrist hybrid religion that will
only be sanctioned and mandated during the time of Jacob’s
Trouble. Jacob must still work for 7 more years. This is what
will lead to what one has surmised will be how the 3 Abrahamic
Faiths will have their corresponding ‘House’ of Prayer on the
Temple Mount during the coming 7-year Tribulation Period.
Obviously, the Rapture did not occur at the 3.5-year
marker of March 6, 2021. One then surmised a possible 7-year
countdown as many other End Times Watchers did also. Did
anything prophetic take place on that date that was 2520-days
since September 23, 2017? Yes. That date was August 17, 2024. It
was Tu B’Av. This is the equivalent of the Jewish Valentine's
Day. Again, the Rapture did not occur there and then, but it was
an amazing ‘prophetic wink’ of sorts to how the minor Jewish
feast commemorates the snatching-away of the Brides in the
vineyards. It is obviously a Rapture innuendo.
It echoes the Feast of New Wine at the start of the grape
harvest. So that 2520-day or 7-year timeline from 2017 to 2024
is what the prophetic shelf-life of the Revelation 12 Sign
provided in these End Times, in one’s estimation. Now from that
point going forward, it is yet to be determined when the Rapture
that concludes the Church Age will happen. So, this is where the
numerical value of the years since are being considered as in
the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th year anniversary of the Revelation 12
Sign of 2017.
Is there something to this idea? 10 years passed in 2026?
Again, it is a ‘yes’, if one uses the Rabbinical Civil New Year.
But then the prophetic context shifts to the Jews as the Body of
Christ will be completed and removed from Earth. As noted, Rosh
Hashanah, the head of the year in 2026, is on September 11,
2026, or 5787. It will be 10 years from 2017 or 5778. So,
consider what the prophetic definition of the number 10
signifies. Foremost, it reminds one of the 10 Commandments of
the Jews from the Old Covenant.
A Factor of 10
It is how that is so emblematic of what the coming
Tribulation Period is going to be all about. It will be about
reinstating the Law of Moses, in one’s interpretation. Contrary
to popular belief, one is more convinced that the Covenant with
the Many that will be confirmed with the L’Rabbim or the
Sanhedrin will be the Law of Moses, not a geo-political peace
treaty. That will follow, but all the Middle East wars, efforts
and prophecy, presently is to lead to the rebuilding of the 3rd
Temple. It is the last of the 3 factors that must be in place
and under Jewish control before Jesus returns: the Promised
Land, Jerusalem and the Temple as they were then. Here is what
the definition of the number 10 signifies, Biblically and
applied to the post-Rapture Jewish theme.
Number 10: 2026
‘In the Bible, the number 10 signifies completeness of order,
responsibility, and testimony. It is considered a perfect
number representing divine authority over mankind (4 + 6),
highlighting man's responsibility to God's Law. The number 10
is often associated with testing, judgment, and the completion
of a divine cycle’.
So, the Bible does emphasize the number 10, but it is
incorporated within other Biblical numbers and from that, one
can reasonably assert the following. The number 10 represents
testing and completeness, as with a factor of 40. It means a
‘full trial’ as in 4 × 10). It is also based on 70 to mean an
extended completion of 10, 7 times. Thus, 10-year spans often
function as the building blocks of larger prophetic cycles. The
coming 7-year Tribulation is a good candidate. As far as Israel
is concerned prophetically after the Church Body is removed from
Earth, note its direct association with the number 10.
Consider what occurs after the Church Age is concluded,
which has been the answer to the Law of Moses, being founded on
the New Covenant, grace and mercy. Israel and the World will
willingly subject and submit themselves to a Covenant that
rather kills and not gives life, Eternal Life. And if one
superimposes the numbers theory of how 2026 in the Rabbinical
Calendar has been the 10-year anniversary from the 2017
Revelation 12 Sign, then it will be about entering a time of
testing, judgment and completion for Israel.
This notion would corroborate with the last Shemitah or
Sabbath of the Land that Israel or Jacob still owes Jehovah, per
the Prophecy of Daniel. Thus the 7-year Tribulation Period to
come after the Rapture could occur just before this commencement
but in tandem with the same year. Here are some mathematical
relationships one saw in studying numbers theory. As noted, the
month and day that the Phi Ratio fulcrum is pegged to is set on
the Revelation 12 Sign time-span based on its 12-year Jupiter
cycles occurring in Virgo. If so, then the following.
Phi Ratio Fulcrum: September 23, 2017 to September 11, 2029 =
May 14, 2026
Here then is the day count from that date that Israel
commemorates its ‘birth’ as the Man-Child motif of the
Revelation 12 Sign to the day count reaching July 23,
2026.
= 70 days or 10 weeks
The Ark of Escape
What is interesting about one’s possible Rapture New Wine
calculation of July 23, 2026, date is that from September 23,
2017, it has an exact month/day repetition of 8 years 10. So,
after 2017, in review, many Christians studying the End Times
had high hopes for the Rapture in the 7th year being 2024 based
on the Gregorian Calendar. Then, it was in the 8th year, 2025,
due to the significance of the number 8, meaning ‘New
Beginnings’. Then in 2026, being the 9th year in the Gregorian
Calendar, the Rapture could occur based on the meaning of the
number 9. Why? It represents a cycle of completion.
Number 9: 2026
‘In Biblical study, the number 9 typically symbolizes
finality, judgment, or the completion of a cycle. As the last
single-digit number, it represents the end of a process and
the finality of human works, often associated with divine
completeness. It is also connected to fruitfulness, as seen in
the 9 Fruits of the Spirit’.
Based on this definition, one can make some reasonable
Rapture correlations. The New Testament teaches that the Church
Age is a designated Commission of time. And how it is about
completing a construction project of sorts. Also, how it is
about being connected to a harvest and fruit. Then there is the
strong connection of the Holy Spirit as He is the key to what
has empowered the Believers and Followers of Jesus through this
nearly 2000-year-old ‘construction project’.
It is understood that the Church Body is like a ship, and
every Church is considered to have a ‘Nave’, as in ‘walking down
the aisle’. The Church building is not the living Body of Christ
on Earth, but it is like a boat. But when Christians gather in
it, it represents the vessel carrying them to glory, which is
Jesus. Jesus is the ‘boat’, the Ark. It is about a body, a
female one at that, an Eve type. It is in how Eve was
constructed from the essence of Adam, not created. So, when the
Resurrection-Rapture Trumpet calls, it means that the Bride of
Christ is ‘done’, the Church Age construction, commission and
harvest are finished. The boat will be that body that will be
departing.
This is considering the prophetic typology of what Christ
Jesus represented on the Cross, the Last Adam. Jesus gave His
life to purchase back Eve from Lucifer and restore Eden. And
from His side, like Adam, water and blood was what it has cost
Jesus to complete her Bride or ‘Greater Eve’. The Revelation 12
Sign was and is a countdown Sign to wake-up the sleeping Virgins
and be put on notice of the pending Rapture ‘portal’ being
opened as in a Phi Ratio spiral depiction.
That perhaps, in the 9th year anniversary of the Revelation 12
Sign, in the Gregorian Calendar will conclude the cycle of time,
as in a completion of a task or term. So, could it be that the
Bride’s completion and end of her Commission will be in 2026
then? When? Will it occur at the 2017-2029 Revelation 12 Sign’s
‘Prophetic Nexus’ point, in July of 2026? Could the Rapture
event corroborate with one’s speculated July 23rd day that marks
the end of the Summer Wheat Harvest and Astrological Leo New
Year? So, will 2026 be the Rapture year? That will remain to be
seen.
