ALL OF
THE PUZZLE PIECES FIT FOR
APRIL 11, 2018, TO BE THE
START
OF THE GREAT
TRIBULATION!!! (Part 1)
The
purpose of this post is to
do my very best to convince
some of you of this April
11, 2018, projection.
I have been on a long
journey to finally arrive at
what I consider to be the
CORRECT end-times Bible
Prophecy timeline.
When I retired years
early from an excellent
secular job nine years ago,
convinced that we had just
entered the Final 7 Years in
the Fall of 2008, I never
could imagine that it would
take 9 years to finally
reach its proper conclusion.
Yes, I am convinced that the
Lord is finally revealing
His correct end-times
timeline, leading DIRECTLY
to the literal 2nd Coming of
Christ in the Fall of 2022,
EXACTLY 14 years after it
all started. We have
EVERY reason to believe that
the starting date for the
1260-day Great Tribulation
will be April 11, 2018, less
than 2 months away.
For those
of you who have been
following my posts for the
past nine years plus, or
those of you who were on my
Bible tract mailing list in
the 1990's, feel free to
skip the next few
paragraphs, and proceed to a
summary of what I consider
God's final 14-year
timeline, which should
culminate with the literal
2nd Coming of Christ in the
Fall of 2022. But many
of you are fairly new to my
mailing list or fairly new
to Five Doves (www.fivedoves.com).
If I were you, I would
want to know something about
a Watcher who is proclaiming
some unconventional
understanding of the proper
interpretation of end-times
Bible Prophecy.
Many no
longer give my posts any
consideration, or may not
even read them, due to my
understanding and
interpretation being very
different from the popular
teachings so prevalent
today. Another reason
is because I have had
several possible projections
of the timing of the Rapture
that have not come to pass
(obviously). But I am
certainly not alone in that.
As you will see below,
it is my contention, that my
projection of Oct. 29, 2008,
as the starting point for
the Final 14 Years, as in
the story of Joseph, who is
the most complete type of
Christ in the entire Word of
God, has been correct right
along. During
this entire time, I have
remained convinced of Barack
Hussein Obama being the
future Antichrist, as well
as the starting date.
I have never wavered
on those two points.
It has
become obvious, through
progressive revelation, that
the Lord has had His reasons
for not letting the timing
become known for the Rapture
until just shortly before
the actual fulfillment.
Although I have been
saying for almost one year
now that we have EVERY
reason to believe that April
11, 2018, will be the
starting date of the Great
Tribulation, the Rapture
date remains unknown,
although, by far, the most
likely date for the
Firstfruits Rapture is Feast
of Firstfruits, Apr. 6, 2018
(more on that in coming
posts).
I write
the following only so some
of you will be able to see
that my calling as a
Biblical Watchman has been
very extensive and very
busy. I have been very
diligent in my pursuit to be
the Biblical Watchman
(Ezekiel 33) that my Lord
has called me to be.
Very few others have
quit a very good secular job
to pursue a non-paying
internet ministry, like I
have. I take my
calling extremely seriously.
I became a
Biblical Watchman over 40
years ago. The subject
of end-times Bible Prophecy
has always fascinated me.
I am a graduate of
Western Michigan University,
and of Anchor Bay Bible
Institute. I have
pastored two churches in the
early 1980's. But
before that, and after that,
I found true fulfillment in
being a Biblical Watchman.
I have preached in 50
to 75 different churches on
the End Times.
Frustrated
in my attempts to find good
Bible Prophecy tracts, the
Lord led me to write my own.
I have written over 50
different Prophecy tracts,
all with the plan of
salvation included at the
end of the tract, with my
address and phone number on
all of the almost 10 million
tracts in circulation, which
kept me busier than I could
have imagined. My tracts
were so popular that I
received as many as 72 mail
and phone orders in one day.
I became well-known in
Bible Prophecy circles,
because of my tracts, and
quarterly newsletters, and
because I attended so many
Bible Prophecy conferences,
and had many one-on-one
conversations with almost
all of the famous Prophecy
speakers.
Many of
these large Prophecy
ministries put my tracts in
their newsletters, or book
orders. Many of the Prophecy
conferences allowed me to
have my own display table,
and Jack Van Impe even had
me stand at one conference
in the middle of his
presentation, and endorsed
the tract that I had given
to him. In the
mid-nineties, I was invited
by Ray Brubaker, of God's
News Behind the News, to be
one of the speakers at their
ministries' annual Bible
Prophecy Conference in
Tampa, Florida. This
was the largest and best
Prophecy Conference in the
world, with all of the
famous speakers there.
I
did all of the above while
working full-time at my
secular job. Countless
hours of trying to fulfill
my calling from my Lord.
Countless hours of
writing so very many tracts
and quarterly newsletters,
proofreading them, stacking
tracts in bundles of 100,
processing and mailing tract
orders, numerous trips to
the printer, preparing
sermons, travelling to
different churches, and
preparing bumper stickers,
florescent orange oval
stickers, ministry tapes,
singing tapes by my wife,
Rapture t-shirts, and
several other ministry
items. I did all of
this while raising a family
and attending Bible
College for 3 years at
night, while I worked a
secular job during the day.
I cannot say for sure,
but maybe my diligence and
perseverance is why God has
chosen to reveal His
end-times Bible Prophecy
timeline to me.
My only
reason for writing these
last three paragraphs is to
show your that I am
well-respected in the Bible
Prophecy world, so that you
might give what I am writing
about your serious
consideration. I have
been fulfilling my calling
as a Biblical Watchman for
most all of the past 40+
years, in one form or
another. I have been
diligent in my pursuit to
fulfill this calling by God,
and to attempt to learn from
Him the final timeline that
our God has set forth. My
only reason for these
attempts is to give proper
warning to people everywhere
of what is SOON to come.
The Sudden Nuclear
Destruction (1st Thess. 5)
will bring on the Great
Tribulation, and
unparalleled cataclysmic
devastation upon this world,
beyond our worst
comprehension. This
includes the dreaded Mark of
the Beast, without which
nobody will be able to buy
or sell anything, including
food.
The burden
of my heart is not just for
the unsaved in this
sin-filled world in which we
live, but also for the
backslidden, worldly,
compromising, unwatching,
and lukewarm Christians.
I am convinced,
through my study of the
Word, that these types of
Christians will NOT make the
first Rapture, but be thrust
into the Great Tribulation.
They will become part
of the "vast number of
people that no man could
number", who were found with
dirty garments at the time
of the first Rapture, that
they had to have washed, and
made white, in the Great
Tribulation. Everyone
who reads my posts, has
relatives or friends who
will miss this Firstfruits
Rapture. As a Biblical
Watchman, I have a real
burden to try to warn as
many of these people as I
possibly can. Our time
to warn them is almost over!
I have
been able to glean much from
most every Bible Prophecy
teacher that I have listened
to, and whose tapes I have
listened to, and whose books
I have read. I have
done my best to attempt to
allow the Holy Spirit to
lead, guide, and direct me.
It has not been easy,
or necessarily quick, to
distance some of my beliefs,
from those of popular
teachings on the end-times.
But I believe strongly
in progressive revelation.
It has taken me many
years to understand the
importance of not swallowing
some popular teachings just
because famous Bible
Prophecy teachers present
them. Pre-conceived
teachings, and pre-conceived
ideas, can easily stunt your
spiritual growth, as a
student of Bible Prophecy.
We need to allow the
Holy Spirit to reveal to us
what is the truth, and not
always rely on other
teachers, regardless of how
much exposure they get on
television, or how many
books they write, or how
popular they are.
After 40+
years of studying Bible
Prophecy, from the Bible,
listening to knowledgeable
Bible Prophecy scholars (in
person, and in tapes),
reading MANY relevant books
(J.R. Church and Grant
Jeffrey were two of the
best), attending numerous
Bible Prophecy Conferences,
and mainly allowing the Holy
Spirit to speak to my heart
on these matters, below are
a few of my conclusions
during the last 9 years.
This is an attempt at
a summary of the important
events and dates, which have
led me to believe that April
11, 2018, is the start of
the 1260-day Great
Tribulation. I can
find nothing in God's Word
that would prevent us from
KNOWING this timetable.
Jesus said we could
KNOW when it was NEAR, EVEN
AT THE DOOR!!
These very
important events and dates
are the very foundation by
which I have been able to
arrive at April 11, 2018.
However, other
factors, and calculations
(such as my previous post on
God's secret 666 Code
revealing Obama as the
Antichrist, and projecting
the EXACT timetable of the
1260-day Great Tribulation),
add extra proof that does
not necessarily need all of
the dates and events listed
below to be correct,
although I believe that they
are.
1.
Oct. 29, 2008, was the
starting point for the Final
14 Years, as in the story of
Joseph. In hindsight,
I have been able to look
back for several years now
to see that this obviously
was NOT the beginning of the
Final 7 Years (the 7 Years
of Famine in the story of
Joseph). But it WAS
the first day of the 7 Years
preceding the 7 Famine
Years. These were our
7 Years of Preparation, just
like Joseph had 7 Years to
prepare for the 7 Years of
Famine. They also
could be called the 7 Years
of the Antichrist (Obama).
I had supernatural
confirmations of this date.
and Obama as the Antichrist,
back in the Fall of 2008.
These confirmations
caused me to retire early to
concentrate on an internet
end-times Bible Prophecy
ministry. Starting with
nothing, I now have between
6000 and 7000 people on my
current mailing list.
It is
fascinating that EXACTLY
2520 days, or 7 Prophetic
Years, from Oct. 29, 2008,
takes us to the very date of
Day of Atonement, Sept. 23,
2015, the date that Bible
Prophecy Watchers were
waiting so intently for, as
so many things were pointing
DIRECTLY to that date.
How ironic that so
many Watchers were expecting
this to be the time for the
start of the Final 7 years
(and they were very close
with that projection), but
in reality, it was the
ending date for the Final 7
Years of Preparation (as in
the story of Joseph).
Upon request, I will
send to you, 3 of my 2008
posts that CONFIRM Oct. 29,
2008, as the start of the
Final 7 Years of
Preparation, preceding the
Final 7 Years. If you
choose to read them, please
remember that when I wrote
them I believed, in 2008,
that this date was the start
of the Final 7 Years.
Hindsight has shown us that
it was the start of the
Final 14 Years (as in the
story of Joseph)
2.
Oct. 29, 2008, was
also the fulfillment of Dan.
9:27. Most Bible
Prophecy students are still
waiting for a 7-year peace
treaty with Israel and many
other nations, with the
Antichrist, as a result of
the very popular teaching,
that this is what Dan. 9:27
tells us. I did a
word-by-word study in the
Hebrew of Daniel 9:27.
There is NOTHING in
this verse about Israel.
There is nothing in this
verse about a treaty of any
kind. The word "peace"
is never even mentioned, or
hinted at. Yet a very,
very, popular theory has
resulted, and been accepted
by Bible Prophecy students
everywhere, and swallowed
hook, line, and sinker, by
the vast majority.
My very
strong opinion is that
Barack Hussein Obama, ONE
WEEK before he was elected
as President of the U.S., on
Oct. 29, 2008, CONFIRMED THE
COVENANT of Dan. 9:27, seen
by several million people,
by making a promise or a
COVENANT with THE MANY, TO
CHANGE THE WORLD, thereby
thrusting the world into the
Final 7 Years of
Preparation, or 7 Years of
the Antichrist, thereby
fulfilling, not the 70th
Week of Daniel, but the 69th
Week of Daniel. The
Five Doves website archives
listed on the cover page
only goes back to 2010.
Therefore, I do not know if
it is still possible to
access my posts from the
Fall of 2008. You may
try if you would like to.
Once again, a simple
request, by email, to me,
will allow you to receive
this post, giving you many
more details about what I
have just written.
3.
The 70th Week of
Daniel began on 11/11/15.
I spent most of the
entire year of 2015,
projecting this date to be
the start date of the Final
7 Years. I remain
convinced to this day, that
I was correct. The
evidence was, and still is,
simply overwhelming.
The problem was that I
also projected this to be
the probable date of the
Rapture/Sudden Destruction
also. Obviously that did not
take place. Many were
on board with the Fall of
2015 to be the start of the
Final 7 Years. But
because the majority of
Christians expected a
Rapture BEFORE the start of
the Final 7 Years, almost
everybody has jumped off
that bandwagon, despite all
of the overwhelming
evidence.
This must
mean that those very same
Watchers must now believe
that the very strong
evidence of the solar
eclipses and the very rare 4
Blood Red Moons happening
EXACTLY on Feast of
Passover, and Feast of
Tabernacles, for 2014 and
2015, meant NOTHING.
To me, that is simply
NOT possible. These Heavenly
signs took us DIRECTLY TO
THE START OF THE FINAL 7
YEARS. For numerous
other conclusive signs, go
to the www.fivedoves.com archives,
found on the cover page, for
2015, and read my numerous
posts that year, that were
ALL pointing to the very
same day of the year,
11/11/15. There were
way too many conclusive
signs to believe that it was
all coincidence.
4.
To prove that we were
on track with this 7-year
timeline of Oct. 29, 2008,
to Day of Atonement, Sept.
23, 2015, to be the 7 Good
(compared to the Final 7 Bad
Years) Years, or 7 Years of
Preparation, in the story of
Joseph, and also to be the
69th Week of Daniel (it is
my intention to write a post
on this fulfillment of Dan.
9:27), God saw fit to give
us an AMAZING sign.
At the
EXACT midpoint of this
7-year period, on APRIL 11,
2012, there were so many
earthquakes, and such MAJOR
earthquakes, that this date
has become known as the DAY
OF THE EARTHQUAKES.
Thank you, Lord, for
this confirmation sign, that
we were right on track for
your FINAL 14-YEAR
COUNTDOWN, just like in the
story of Joseph, with 7
Years of Preparation, and
then 7 Years of Famine.
It is my contention
that the extreme importance
of APRIL 11, 2012, was
twofold, as it was also
pointing ahead EXACTLY 6
YEARS TO APRIL 11, 2018, THE
PROJECTED START DATE OF THE
1260-DAY GREAT
TRIBULATION!!!!!!
5.
11/11/15. I
spent most of 2015 compiling
very strong evidence that
11/11/15 would be the first
day of the Final 7 Years.
Unfortunately, and
with my apologies, I was
wrong about the
Rapture/Sudden Destruction
also happening on the same
day. Day of Atonement,
Sept. 23, 2015, which was
exactly 7 Prophetic Years
(2520 days) from the start
date, Oct. 29, 2008, ended
the 7 Years of Preparation,
just like Joseph had 7 Years
of Preparation before the 7
Years of Famine.
However, there was a
49--50--day gap between the
ending of the 1st 7 Years of
Preparation and the actual
Final 7 Years. Our
type was given at the time
of Jesus' death and
resurrection. The
Church Age did not begin
until 49--50 days later, on
the day of Pentecost.
Both of these
49--50--day gaps were so
that Jesus' could fulfill
the 7 most important days of
His life, on the 7 Feast
Days. In the case of
His 1st Coming, it was so
that Jesus could start His
Church on Feast of
Pentecost. In the 2nd
case of 11/11/15, it was so
that Jesus could fulfill His
literal 2nd Coming on Day of
Atonement, in 2022, 2520
days later.
It is
difficult for us as Watchmen
to comprehend some of these
points in this post because
we have been so filled with
our pre-conceived ideas, and
pre-conceived teachings.
Many of you are
scoffing at what I am
writing here. I can
identify with you. Not
so many years back, I would
have been offering up the
very same arguments that you
are right now, such as:
1. We cannot be in the
Final 7 Years because there
has been no Rapture, and no
Sudden Destruction. 2.
There has been no
7--Year peace treaty with
Israel and the Antichrist.
3. There is no
Antichrist in power over the
world. 4. The
construction of an elaborate
temple in Israel for the
Antichrist has not even
started yet.
I will be
dealing with #1 and #3 in my
next post. I dealt
with #2 earlier in this
post. I will attempt to deal
with #4 in an upcoming post.
But I will say that I
have serious doubts (as did
J.R. Church, the most
profound Prophetic scholar
whom I have every met),
about the building of an
elaborate temple for the
Antichrist to reign in.
Surely, we would never
expect Jesus to rule and
reign in a temple that the
Antichrist had thoroughly
defiled with His presence,
and his declaration that He,
the Antichrist, was actually
God. Jesus will
supervise the construction
of His Millennial Temple
(the 3rd Temple, not the
4th), upon His Second
Coming. Also, the Jews
will be fleeing to the
mountains of Petra, to hide
for the 1260 days of the
Great Tribulation. I
cannot see any time for the
building of another
elaborate temple during this
time of Great Tribulation.
For more details on
the past few paragraphs,
please check out the links
to these posts below that I
wrote in late 2015:
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/nov2015/ronr111-3.htm
This post, and the one
linked above are titled,
"Top 11 Signs, in order, for
ELEVEN ELEVEN to be the 1st
Day of the Final 7 Years"
(Parts 1 & 2).
Here are those top 11
Signs, leading us DIRECTLY
to the day of 11/11/15.
Here is a list of
those top eleven reasons.
For more detailed
info, please go the links
provided:
1.
2520 days, or 7
Prophetic Years, before Day
of Atonement, Oct. 5th,
2022, is ELEVEN ELEVEN OF
2015 EXACTLY!!!!!!!
Day of Atonement is the day
of the year when almost all
Bible Prophecy students
expect Jesus to Return at
the end of the Final 7
Years.
2.
The 14 Prophetic Years
of Joseph demand that the
Final 7 Years MUST start in
the Fall of 2015!!!
3.
The 17th day of the
2nd month--God's Day of
Great Judgment, so God moved
it to ELEVEN ELEVEN THIS
YEAR (2015)!!!
4.
The 1994 Comet
Shoemaker-Levy striking
Jupiter was the most
spectacular, sign-filled,
astronomical event of our
lifetime, and it points us
DIRECTLY to 11/11/15!!!
5.
The New York City fire
and explosion, EXACTLY 33
(the most Satanic number)
weeks from 11/11/15!!!
6.
Numerous Signs and
calculations pointing
DIRECTLY to 9/23/15, which
was the Final Day of the 7
Years of Preparation.
7.
The Satanic number of
ELEVEN. ELEVEN is the
number of Lucifer.
8.
The 120--Day Warning
Sign, and the 40--Day
Warning Sign.
9.
The 49--Day, or 7 X 7,
transition period, or one
Jubilee cycle of Days, from
Sept. 23, 2015, the day that
everything was pointing
towards, to the first day of
the Final 7 Years, ELEVEN
ELEVEN OF 2015.
10.
The number ELEVEN is
the Biblical number of
JUDGMENT AND DISORDER.
11.
Nepal Major Earthquake
reported to have taken place
at 11:11 a.m., local time!!!
Combined with the delay in
the start of the famous
Netanyahu, Prime Minister of
Israel, speech, until
precisely 11:11 a.m., this
report of this catastrophic
earthquake was a very strong
indication that someone was
trying to bring the date of
11/11 to our attention.
I have
taken the liberty here to
delete one of the original
11 Signs, and replace it
with this #11 sign, which I
have linked, if you would
like more details.
More details on every
one of these ELEVEN major
signs pointing DIRECTLY to
ELEVEN ELEVEN OF 2015 can be
read. by clicking on the
links above, at the start of
these ELEVEN major
signposts.
When I
started this post, I
suspected it would become a
two-part post. In
about one week, you should
receive part 2. These
two posts are extremely
important to bring you to
some level of understanding
of how ALL of the signs are
pointing EXACTLY to April
11, 2015. I do not
expect many of you to be
able to digest all that I
have written. I am
making these points as
concise as I can, with the
Lord's help. To me, it
is an amazing puzzle, over a
nine and one-half year
period, which shows so much
evidence pointing DIRECTLY
to April 11, 2018, to be the
starting point for the
1260-day Great Tribulation,
and the reign and rule of
Barack Hussein Obama, the
6th and 8th King of
Revelation 17.
According
to Rev. 17, the days of the
7th King, as King, or
President, will be just a
short time. Knowing
that Donald Trump's days are
numbered, and that Apr. 11th
is rapidly approaching (with
the Rapture/Sudden Nuclear
Destruction shortly before
that), WE ARE LIVING IN
EXTREMELY EXCITING, OMINOUS,
AND SOBERING times. As
WATCHMEN we are CALLED TO
WARN PEOPLE, OR THEIR BLOOD
WILL BE UPON OUR HANDS!
(Ezekiel 33).
You may
need to read this Part 1
post again, as there is so
very much to digest.
Part 2 will answer
many of the questions that
are forming in your mind,
and, hopefully, fill in many
of the blanks. I will
be dealing with Genesis 45
(the type of our Final 14
Years), and also the 6/1
divider of the Final 7
Years, and the 2 and
one-half years/4 and
one-half years divider,
which both parallel the
7000-year plan for mankind.
This will give you a
much better understanding of
how the Rapture/Sudden
Destruction and start of the
1260-day Great Tribulation
should be in April of this
year, and WE HAVE EVERY
REASON TO EXPECT IT
TO!!!!!!! The Great
Tribulation is a 1260-day
period within the Final 7
Years, from Year 2 and
one-half to the end of Year
6. Year 2 and
one-half, in my studied
opinion, will take place in
April of this year. I
will do my best to attempt
to explain that to you in
Part 2 next week.
Could one
of the main reasons that
Jesus said we could KNOW when
His Return was near, EVEN AT THE
DOOR, be that we
could KNOW the
EXACT time frame of the
1260-day
Great
Tribulation??? If you
are able to gain somewhat of
an understanding of this
post, and part 2 next week,
you will not be able to
avoid watching intently the
date of April 11th, of this
year, and the preceding Holy
Days leading up to it.
Thank you
for taking the time and
effort to read and attempt
to digest this post. I
trust that you have been
challenged and blessed.
May the Lord richly
bless you, as you attempt to
discern Biblical truth, and
to properly discern the
multiple signs of these
very, very last days. I
strongly encourage each of
you to draw near to our Lord
Jesus Christ, so that you
can be led by the Holy
Spirit, and so that you can
be a part of the Bride of
Christ.
Maranatha!
Ron Reese
p.s.
Thanks to those who
informed me of my oversight
of listing Aug. 3rd as
Obama's birth date in my
previous post.
Obviously, it is Aug.
4th, which is the 216th day
of the year. 6 X 6 X 6
= 216, forming a 666, the
number of the Antichrist.
