MY FOCUS IS THE SUMMER SOLSTICE AND HERE IS WHY
I get it that you all want the rapture to come right now. I do too. And I would be very pleased if it comes before June. But why am I looking so hard at June 22, 2024 as rescue day? Let me try to explain. I think the “appointed” time is in concord with the prophetic Song of Solomon. I have re-posted the Song as a stage play here on 5 Doves today. Please re-read it in concert with this message.
The Song of Solomon was written by King Solomon of Israel, under inspiration of the Holy Spirit circa 900 years before Jesus Christ was born. I believe that it is, properly interpreted, a prophetic stage play, as many of you know. However, it is way more than that. I believe beyond that it had and has two purposes:
>>It was to warn ancient Israel to beware of murdering their Messiah. It was to warn Israel of a “shepherd” out there among the lilies that they knew nothing about except that He was in love with a Shulamite. Gasp, in love with a gentile girl! The snobbish elite quickly rejected any such notion, labeling the play “erotic” and not fit for men under 30 years of age to read.
>>It is now to warn Christian Laodicea of the danger it is in by refusing to work out their salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 12). Salvation they have, the rescue they only partially have. Transformation they will have, but travel to heaven they will not have for four months or 120 days. They will be left behind.
Those self-righteous Jewish leaders back in Jesus' day were guilty of not even trying to understand His mission. He repeatedly told them what it was, but they repeatedly rejected the mission. He came as Jesus Savior to save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21). By rejecting the New Testament Scriptures, these Jews have gone through almost two thousand years of dispersion. And they do not have Christ as Savior either. Their spiritual eyes are as blind as a bat because of their leaders. Furthermore, they lay a black ribbon over Isaiah 53 and will not read it or heed it. Thankfully there are born again Jews that finally know the truth and accept the New Testament, along with Isaiah 53.
The Laodicea Christian age people received Jesus mostly at a Billy Graham or Oral Roberts type rally, but felt no need to obey the Lord afterward. The churches were in the business of growing in numbers, not in discipling these new converts. Many got baptized, but that was about all. Their money built great halls of worship in the U. S. especially, and “forced” giving called indulgences being paid for by money, built great churches in Europe. But none of this has spiritual standing with God. “Thou sayest that thou art rich and have need of nothing” (Revelation 3). No, they are “poor, blind, wretched, miserable, and naked” says the Lord. Though transformed at the rescue, they will be left behind to bring in a harvest of souls. That is how they will work out their salvation. So, the Song of Solomon has a word for them as well as for us, the Philadelphia Church age Christians.
So, why am I looking so hard at June 22, 2024? Here are my reasons for your consideration as to whether you, too, should watch for that date.
I just posted an article about 280 day cycles. It happens that April 8, the date of the final eclipse that formed a great X over the continental United States was on the last day of a 280 day cycle from July 3/4, 2023. And 280 days back from there was September 27, 2022, the Feast of Trumpets. And 44.4 cycles back from that was September 13, 1988, the Feast of Trumpets. The first solar eclipse that began the great X over America occurred August 21, 2017. Just 21 days prior to that was July 31, 2017, the Jewish date of Tisha B Av, the Black Fast, the anniversary date of the destruction of their great temple in 70. A. D. Taken together the count of days is 21 + 2424 = 2,445. After April 8, 2024 until June 22, 2024 is 75 days. These are found in Daniel 12. First 30, then 45 days. When added to 2,445, we have the exact count of the 70th week of Daniel's prophecy for Israel. That is 2,520 days or exactly 9 cycles of 280 days. That count ends June 22, 2024, a big day for Israel, I believe.
It is my conjecture, as all date setting is conjecture, that June 22, 2024 may be our rescue date. If so, it is the appointed time and 2024 is the appointed year. Which takes me back now to the Song of Solomon. It is prophetic, and it is real. The ancients ignored its meaning and the churches today do likewise. But, the Song ties together the Church Ages of Revelation to the ten virgins in Matthew 25 and to the parables of Matthew 13. It says to me, at least, that our rescue will be found in chapter 2 and verses 10-13 which read as a parade of signs describing the Spring season. “For lo, the winter is past (Spring equinox, March 20), the rain is over and gone (April, early May), the flowers appear on the earth (April showers bring May flowers), the time of the singing of birds is come (late April, May), the voice of the turtle(dove) is heard in our land (that is Israel in May); the fig tree putteth forth her green figs, (late May, early June), and the vines with tender grape give a good smell (June). Arise, (resurrect) My, love, My fair one, and come away” (rapture).
The Summer solstice is June 20, 2024. That is 3 days before the last day of Daniel's 70th week prophecy ends in Israel, I suggest. The three days may be days of darkness, intended to hide the youth and the innocent ones taken, the resurrection of the dead in Christ taken, and finally us, the Philadelphia Christians taken and the Laodicea Christians transformed, but left behind. That comes to June 22, 2024.
If this is correct, on June 23, 2024, the world may awaken to horror on a grand scale and the left behind Laodicea Christians may work here until October 20, 2024, a period of 120 days (John 4:35). It is here that I find the meaning of I Thessalonians 4:16-18 in that the Laodicea Christians are those who are alive and must REMAIN on earth, to work out their salvation. Their rescue is found in the Song chapter 6, verses 6:11-13 “I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the (grape) vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded. (This is in the Fall when the grapes ripen). Or, ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots (like Elijah ascended in a chariot of fire) of Amminadib” (this is not a name, but a title meaning one having many chariots. (I believe it is our Lord Jesus Christ). “Return, return, O Shulamite, (Ephesus through Laodicea) return, return that we may look upon thee”. And what do they see? As it were 2 armies with banners (Ephesus through Philadelphis and Laodicea). This is the cry of Israel, called here the “daughters of Jerusalem”. They now realize what has happened and now become interested to the extreme in the New Testament.
May 30, 2024 was true Memorial Day. And on that day, God's man Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of criminal activity. It is my belief that this day, war in heaven began as there is now political war between Democrats and Republicans. And I also suspect that Trump may cause this war to become military as in martial law. He is, by the way, Commander in Chief of the nation. He has the nuclear codes. If so, then 21 days will repeat the war in heaven of Daniel 10. That will lead directly to the Summer solstice, June 19/20. I also suspect that this war may be the fulfillment of Revelation 12, where Satan and his unholy angels are cast to the earth. That would trigger darkness for at least 3 days, to the end of the 70th week of Daniel's prophecy on June 22, 2024.
Finally, to further reinforce the June 20, 2024 plus 3 days possibility is that June 21 is the full moon. A watcher declared for us to watch for the “top of the phase” of the moon. The moon is full over a period of 3 days. Thus the top of the phase is June 22, 2024 this year. It is exactly in the middle night.
Please, prepare to meet your Lord. Repent all you Laodicea ones and become a Philadelphia one before it is too late. My prayers are with you all.
