WE ARE AT A CRITICAL JUNCTURE. PRAY WITHOUT CEASING
We have arrived at a moment of truth. I agree with Barry Awe, that July 26/27 is a critical date. It is the 9th of AV and may be our day of deliverance. In his video, posted just today, he concludes that there are many, many reasons to think that this date may be correct. He backs it up by comparing the Church of Jesus Christ with Israel, both ancient and modern. He shows critical contrasts between the two entities which I have attempted to also identify using the blessed Song of Solomon. I don't know, nor does he, if the 9th of AV is it, but it counts out to be of great importance.
I am very certain of one major fact and that is that the Song of Solomon, chapter 5, verses 1-7 perfectly describes what we, Christians who were watching, went through in September, 1988, when we fully expected the return of our Lord, but He did not appear. Furthermore, the spiritual abuse has not lessened very much since then. It was not until I saw a watcher's post, Gigi of California in 1994, that I had any relief at all. It was then that I felt that Acts 2:16ff was finally to be fulfilled. And it has been now for 29 years.
Let me repeat, just one more time, what I am referring to. On April 28, 1988, I heard a man on the radio speak of the rapture of the ready Church, and he declared without any reservation at all that he had been informed by the Lord that it would occur on September 11-13, 1988, the Feast of Trumpets. He wrote a book titled 88 REASONS WHY THE RAPTURE WILL BE IN 1988 and he offered it for $2.00 per copy to any and all. He financed and sent free of charge to 435,000 pastors, evangelists, and Christian leaders around the world, a copy to his book. Before he was finished in 1988, he spent every cent to print copies of the little book. He declared that the rapture was an absolute certainty. His credentials for understanding this was his background as a nuclear scientist responsible for putting man on the moon. He had carefully deciphered many prophecies using these skills and he was also told by the Lord, he proclaimed, that it was to be.
Over the 35 years since then, Whisenant went to be with Lord. I kept his manuals and his works and have watched these 35 years. I have posted on 5 Doves as the Lord has led me to do, not always perfectly, but always with the aim to please my Lord. In 2012, I think it was, the Lord had me post the Song of Solomon as a stage play. In that play, it is obvious that the Song was given by God 900 years before Christ was born and God expected the Jewish leaders to understand, or at least pay attention to its message of a Shepherd and His true love, so that when He did appear, they would not miss Hiis coming. He used King Solomon to pen the play, which I believe is the greatest prophetic book of the Bible. The rapture of the Church is found in chapter 6 and verses 12ff. It should be noted that in that passage, there are 2 armies with banners, comprising, I believe the entire Church of Jesus Christ.
I believe, as I have said before, that a great sign has been given to us watchers. That sign is the fact that the Feast of Trumpets, September 13, 1988 and the Feast of Trumpest, September 27, 2022 is separated by exactly 12,432 days, the exact to the day number of days in the full life from conception to death of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have fully explained the mystery that God revealed to me of His life cycle. Its formula is found in Matthew 1:21 where His earthly name is revealed to be Jesus Savior. He came the first time to save the house of Israel, not to be a King. In gematria, the assigning of a number value to each letter of a name or word, the name Jesus equals 888 and the name Savior equals 14. Multiply these numbers and the product is 12,432 days. This time line is divided into 3 parts. Conception to fertilization was 14 days; fertilization to birth was 266 days, and birth to death was 12,152 days. This is medical textbook perfection. It is now very important to understand that the sacred feasts of Israel cover exactly the same period of time. That is, 14 days from Nisan is the Feast of Passover and 266 days later is the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles. Whisenant knew that Jesus had fulfilled the first 3 of these Feasts in His death (Passover) burial (Unleavened Bread) and resurrection (First Fruits). He knew that the Feast of Pentecost was fulfilled on the day the Church, the Shulamite of the Song of Solomon, came into being. Thus, he looked for the Feast of Trumpets to be next, and he was right, I believe. Jesus came for His Church on the Feast of Trumpets, 1988, but alas, she was asleep, and when she finally aroused herself, He was gone. I also believe that the final 2 Feasts, Atonement and Tabernacles/Hanukkah belong exclusively to Israel and will not have a fulfillment by the Church.
It is evident, at least to me, that Jesus placed a long waiting period on His not ready bride to be. I don't believe it to be a punishment, but rather to time needed to fully awaken His bride to be. He had warned her in Matthew 25: 1-13 to be ready. She evidently failed in 1988. God knew this and wrote of it in the Song of Solomon, chapter 5: 1-7. But how long were we to be kept waiting? Jesus evidently determined the time to be one full life time span of His life. In so doing, a marvellous sign occurred and that is that His life span contained exadtly 44.4 periods of 280 days. By having His life span occur again as a sign, both together total 88.8, the very number of His name. I think this also tells us the extreme importance of the gestation period of 280 days. Thus, I suggest, that the Lord concepted the rapture on the Feast of Trumpets, 2022 and 280 days later, the rapture time came on July 4, 2023.
In the Bible, I know of 2 occasions when war in heaven both occurred and is to occur. The first of these is when Daniel's birthday occurred, exactly completing 70 years of captivity in Babylon. He was taken captive on his 17th birthday and it was now his 87th birthday. He knew from reading the scroll of Jeremiah, the prophet, that the time had come for their release. He intended to hold God to the prophecy. It did not happen and Daniel was very distraught. He fasted and prayed and 21 days after his 87th birthday, the angels and I believe the Lord appeared and the release of the Jews took place. It was explained to Daniel that war in heaven had occurred and it had delayed the release.
The second war in heaven in Scripture is Revelation 13, when Satan is to be cast down to earth. I expect this war to also take 21 days.
I suggest that we consider that there may be a war in heaven and that is now occurring, trying to prevent our rapture. If that is so, that means the following:
280 days after the Feast of Trumpets 2022 was to be the rapture. That date was July 3 as it went to 4. (I have written about the sign of an American national holiday given some years ago, which turns out to be Independence Day occurring at the time of raptre). I suggest that war in heaven broke out July 4, 2023 and may last 21 days (as in the days of Daniel). The rapture of the saints is akin to the release of the captives from Babylon and is certainly as important to God and Satan as that was). If that is true, then our day to be released will be July 25, 2023, which is just 3 days hence.
However, one final consideration:
Brother Charles, many years ago, declared that he was told by the Lord, with many confirmations, that our rapture would occur on a Thursday and July 24 is on a Monday. In order to reconceile this,there is this possibility: Three days of darkness, which has been repeatedly posted over the years may here occur to cover, a. the taking of the children, b. the taking of the dead in Christ which are to go before the living, and c. us, the living saints.
I do not know whether this will happen, and no one else knows either. Barry Awe is now saying Wednesday/Thursday, the 9th of AV as before mentioned. Could be. I hope so.
Stay in prayer for the poor lost souls all over our world.
