WHAT CAN WE SAY OF THE WORLD TODAY?
What can we say of our world and all around us? We can say that the star Beteljuece is nearing nova and may be seen exploding at any moment. Has God preserved this event for a time such as now? We can say that the sign the Lord gave one watcher of seven earthquakes of 7.0 magnitude or higher in a row, is now occurring. We can say that the breakdown of our government is underway. We can say that there is much upheaval in our world today. We can say that our God is certainly on top of all of this and is awaiting the right moment to come for us. We can hope that our rescue is very near. I believe that it is.
As most know by now, July 4, 2023 completed a gestation period from the Feast of Trumpets, September 27, 2022 and that Feast of Trumpets completed a full life span of our Lord from the same Feast on September 13, 1988. The 280 days periods seem to have great significance to God. For example there are 9 of these counts in the 70th week of Daniel (9 x 280 = 2,520 days). There are 44.4 of these in the life span of Jesus, completed back in 33 A. D. There are 44.4 more in the above period from the two Feasts of Trumpets which together, total 88.8. (888 is the gematria value of the name, Jesus).
Daniel experienced a delay of 21 days when the time came for the release of the Jewish captives from Babylon. The reason given for the delay was “war in heaven”. It is my contention that our release from this world by rapture is of no less importance and has triggered yet another 21 days war in heaven, in an attempt to prevent our going up to the Lord. If so, then from July 4 through July 24, 2023 is our delay. There is yet one more delay and that will be in 2024 when Satan is cast out of heaven to the earth. I count 3 such delays altogether. I don't see how there can be any more of them.
I also think that our rapture will send Laodicea Christians, the left behind Church, into the fields to bring in a great harvest of souls. I also believe their time is to be 120 days or 4 months as identified by our Lord in John 4:35. That time count ends on Thanksgiving Day. How very appropriate that the harvest end there and that means that their rapture occurs then also.
Then comes the end of the next 280 cycle from July 4, 2023. That is April 8, 2024 which completes the solar eclipse, which forms a giant X over America. The first swath was in 2017. I think the reason that there will be no 2024 election is because antichrist will be in power before election time. I think America, as we have known her, will, in some manner, cease? I have repeatedly warned of that possibility. I am not a prophet, but I do know Scripture and I can count times and seasons which the Lord has empowered me to do. I believe that we are almost half way through the 70th week of Daniel's prophecy now. Agree or not, just look around at the possibility that great tribulation lies just weeks or months ahead.
Our world today is exceedingly wicked. It is pleasure mad and enfolds much evil in the hearts of mankind. Both men and women and sometimes children too. My estimate for the beginning of the great tribulation with the rise of antichrist and the enforced mark of the beast system, is 21 days after April 8, 2024, that is April 29, 2024
Then 1,260 days (42 months or 4.5 cycles of 280 days) later is when the beast and false prophet find their final home in the lake of fire. They have the distinction of being the very first there. Behold, the wrath of God. That time would count to October 10/11, 2027.
The Jewish nation then must complete its mission within 75 more days as outlined by the angel to Daniel in chapter 12 of his book. That time counts to December 24/25, 2027, the very birthday of our Lord. And that is day 1 of the Feast of Hanukkah, 2027, which Feast will end on December 31/January 1, 2028. I make this the first day of the Kingdom Age.
I wish the condition of our world were different. I long for it to be different in a good way. Only God can solve these terrible societal problems. I think it calls for a new world. And that new world is called, in the Scriptures, the Kingdom Age, and is slated to last for a thousand years.
