The Great Revelation 12
Virgo Sign
Connecting the Dots
September of Gregorian
Year 2017 - Elul of Hebrew Year 5777-8
“Then God said, “Let
there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide
the day from the night;
and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and
years” ~ Genesis 1:14
“And there will be
signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars…” ~ Luke 21:25a
“When I consider Your
heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars,
which You have ordained” ~
Psalm 8:3
Note…ordained
here = appointed…or appointed times – Moedim or Moed - a
fixed time.
The Sun, Moon and Stars were placed in the heavenlies
so we would know and understand God’s appointed times.
“The
heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the
work of his hands.
Day after day they pour
forth speech; night after night they display
knowledge.
There is no speech or
language where their voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out
into all the earth, their words to the ends of
the world.” ~ Psalm 19:1–4
"And
I will show wonders in the heavens, and in the
earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into
blood,
BEFORE the coming of
the great and awesome day of Jehovah." ~ Joel 2:30 -31
“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until
the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and
knowledge shall increase.”
… “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up
and sealed till the time of the end.” Daniel 12:4,9
...IS THIS THE TIME?
“It
is the glory of God to conceal a matter [also in the heavens through His signs –
‘Day after day they pour forth speech; night after
night they display knowledge’]
But
the glory of kings is to search out a matter.” [in
the time of the end knowledge will increase]
Proverbs 25:2
“But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does
not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and
the sword comes and takes any
person from among them,
he is taken away in his
iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s
hand.” ~ Ezekiel 33:6
For review, further study, prayer
and discussion, the following information, videos and
studies makes a case for serious consideration. In my
opinion these are the best sources of the most accurate
information on the Revelation 12 Sign and the convergence of
Gods Signs and Wonders. As this study also speaks to
the soon to come rapture and tribulation period, it is not
the intent to try to set specific dates for any event(s) but
point to the fact that we are in the very last days and the
coming of Christ for His bride continues to be eminent!
1. See these linked Studies
by Daniel Matson – A
body of excellent work over the years. His
website is http://watchfortheday.org
Specific to the Revelation 12 Virgo Sign, see his links
below
and “Revelation
12 – The Sign for Israel”…http://watchfortheday.org/signofisrael.html (Note Shabbat Shuvah
notebelow pertaining to this article.
Shabbat Shuvah ("Sabbath
[of] Return" שבת שובה refers to
the Shabbat that occurs during the Ten Days of
Repentance, but is between (i.e. not including) the
two consecutive Days of Rosh Hashanah,
and the Day of Yom Kippur.
The name Shabbat Shuvah comes from the first word of theHaftarah that
is read on that day, Hosea 14:2-10,
and literally means "Return!" [ …however, could also refer
to the 2nd Coming Return.]
2. Louis
Vega - one of my favorite eschatology
resources – the man is brilliant in his study, analysis and
exegesis of supporting scripture. His work is extensive on
his website, however, for the sake of this presentation, I
have focused on some of his most recent work on Hebrew
year 5777-8. Website: http://www.postscripts.org/articles-1.html

3. The Divine Calendar may be worth a
quick review – you can download here http://www.thirtysixers.org/assets/DivineCalendar7.pdf Although I found this
VERY interesting and informative, please keep in mind it
is Kabbalistic in origin. However, what is
interesting, this was done in 2007 and points to September
23 2017, which is the end of Hebrew year 5777 and starts
Hebrew year 5778. A possible confirming
witness.

Confirming Witness for 2017/5777-8
E. THE END GENERATION AND THE YEAR 2017-18 HOW LONG IS
THE END TIME GENERATION – CAN IT BE KNOWN?
Note: The
above study is very good and profound in its outcomes,
HOWEVER, the author for some unknown reason believes the
Tribulation period is 21 years (3X7), thus as you read you
need to adjust his 2nd coming dates
by -14 yrs to get an accurate picture – I have no particular
argument with all the rest of his calculations and
conclusions.
I believe Salus has an excellent
handle on his exegesis of end time prophecy (his website
articles, videos and and books are very good) and his Thesis
(in this new book) on a GAP between the Rapture and
Tribulation is excellent and has a sound Biblically backed
basis. In my thinking it solves the disagreements on
Pre-Trib vs. Mid-Trib Rapture.
Watchman’s
Conclusion: No question, 2017 (5777-8) is
going to be a VERY interesting year. On all of the
above, (each reader needs to draw their ow conclusion) “my
take” is 2017 (5777-8) from June 1 through September 23rd (in
particular) is a Very HIGH watch period (potentially) for
the Rapture (however the Rapture is always an imminent event
at any time), nevertheless, not for the start of Jacobs
trouble (7-yr tribulation). After reading Bill Salus
Thesis in his latest book, I think possibly the beginning of
a Post-Rapture – Pre-Trib GAP period (of unknown duration)
could begin at a Rapture event (if it should occur).
The Revelation 12 sign (per view of Lu Vega) could be when
the Man of Sin is revealed (Study 2E above), but it is NOT
likely the beginning of the Tribulation period (which begins
with Daniel 9:27). The Gap period (beginning with the
Rapture) could possibly last 1260 days (3.5 Yrs. And maybe
longer – explanation in Salus book), followed by two 1260
day (3.5 Yr) periods culminating in the 2nd Coming of
Christ (and Armageddon). The Rapture comes BEFORE the
Tribulation and before the “ManChild” of sin is revealed (if
the Revelation 12 Sign should prove to be that revealing) …
otherwise, we continue to Watch and be ready! "Now when these things begin
to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your
redemption draws near." ~ Luke 21:28,
and "Encourage one
another, especially now that the day of his return is
drawing near." ~ Hebrews 10:25b
In Lu Vega’s linked studies he is
focused on a potential Pentecost Rapture
(of some year). Most who study prophecy have always
focused on a Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) Rapture, and
Watchman’s View has previously posted supporting material
for Trumpets (http://watchmansview.com/Rosh_HaShanah_and_its_Link_to_The_Bride_of_Christ.html).
However, Pentecost (June
1 this year) is worth further study. For
further thoughts on a possible Pentecost Rapture see:
B. THE FINAL COMMISSION OF THE
CHURCH - PENTECOSTAL INTERMISSION PATTERNS by Lu Vega http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/feb2015/luisv222.htm
Note: this was done early in 2015 when everyone was focused
on the Blood Moons and references some 2015 patterns in the
study in conjunction with Pentecost of that year. You
may want to just focus on what he draws out for Pentecost as
a valid consideration for the Rapture timing.
BTY, Pentecost could fulfill Matthew
24:36 as no one knows the date of Pentecost until the Omer
countdown is marked each year (Leviticus 23:15-17)… it is the festival without a date.
Additionally, After the 7 weeks of the spring harvest, the
next day, the 50th day, is Pentecost. This day is also
the eighth day of the seventh week. This 8th and 50th day
combination pictures the first resurrection when the saints
will be raised from the dead and made immortal (1Corinthians
15:20 - 23, John 3:3 - 12, Revelation 20:4 - 6).
