"Signs in the Heavens and November 11, 2022"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
Before we move on from this coming week - through November 12.  I just wanted to point out a few things.
 
The asteroid Babylon goes into Libra on November 11.  Five interesting things right there, but will they be prophetic?
 
1) The name Babylon:  Babylon in The Revelation is the city that is judged and destroyed.  We believe we are close to the prophecies of The Revelation being fulfilled...soon.
 
2) The asteroid Babylon (Asteroid 15417) was named for the Babylon city in Iraq - Babylon translates "gate of god".  Babylon was the "ancient city on the Euphrates, to which the people of Jerusalem, etc., were transported...Babylon, the wicked, godless city in ancient Mesopotamia, was the most powerful city in the world in OT times."
Strong's Greek: 897. Βαβυλών (Babulón) -- "gate of god(s)," Babylon, a large city situated astride the Euphrates river
 
15417 Babylon was discovered February 27, 1998 by E.W. Elst

Is the 'Gate of God' somehow connected to the 'open door in heaven'  Revelation 3:8  Many teach that 'the open door' refers to the Rapture.  "Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter, the one that remains faithful."  Isaiah 26:2
 
3) Strong's Hebrew for 11 is destruction.  And we have two 11s - November (our 11th month in America) and 11 (the day of the month).
 
4) And November 11 is the anniversary date of the Flood (17th day of the second month) - when the rains started - the beginning of first global destruction.  (torahcalendar.com)
 
5) Libra is the 'scales of justice'. Used for 'judging'.  Tekel:  You are weighed in the balances and are found wanting.  Daniel 5:27 ("Its name is Latin for weighing scales....Libra was known in Babylonian astronomy as Mul Zibanu (the "scales" or "balances")  It is the seventh astrological sign in the zodiac.  The ruling planet of Libra is Venus.  "Libra is the only zodiac sign represented by an object...")
Libra (constellation) - Wikipedia
 
"Libra means scales, the age-old tool for measuring by comparison.  This is also the job of the judge - weighing the evidence and comparing the statements of the accused to those of the accuser.  At the end of the trial, the side of the scales tipping over wins it.  Hopefully, justice is done - as well as can be accomplished."

Last week I sent a letter to Doves with my thoughts on who Babylon is - I picked Washington D.C. for several reasons:
The November 2022 U.S. Elections And Babylon of The Revelation
 
As For Babylon:
 
So who is the judge or accuser of Babylon?  "For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her, for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow."  Revelation 18:5-7  "...the Lord God judgeth her."  Revelation 18:8
 
And what will be her punishment?  "Therefore her plagues shall come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine and she shall be utterly burned with fire..."  Revelation 18:8  "And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence shall the great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all."  Revelation 18:21  (Sounds like Babylon is "destroyed" twice - once she is burned with fire and once she is buried in the sea  - like a tsunami?)
 
Will Babylon be destroyed before the Rapture or after the Rapture?  I thought Babylon would be destroyed during the Tribulation...this verse makes me think (since I believe in the pre-Trib Rapture) that right before destruction hits Babylon - the Believers in Jesus Christ are removed.  (This assumes most everything written in The Revelation occurs DURING the Tribulation and not before - excluding the thousand years of peace, etc.)
 
"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not of her plagues."  Who are "my people"?  Are these those that have not taken the mark or worshiped the beast or are they those that will be taken out during the Rapture - right before the Tribulation starts?  This would put the destruction of Babylon at the start of the Tribulation timeline.  Pastor JD believes as the bombs come down, we go up.
 
This reminded me of the story of Lot - he was told to leave Sodom and not look back as the judgment was almost immediate.  "And the Lord said, 'Verily, the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and verily, their sin is exceeding grievous."  Genesis 18:20   The two "men/angels" told Lot that "The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it."  Genesis 19:12  The two men "grasped the hands of Lot and his wife and two daughters and led them out of the city, for the Lord was merciful to them."  They are told to "flee for your lives...flee to the mountains or you will be swept away." Genesis 19:16 Lot asked to be allowed to go to Zoar instead of the mountains.  One of the 'men' said, "Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of.  But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it." Genesis 19:21 When Lot and his daughters were safely out of Sodom, the Lord rained fire and brimstone upon Sodom and Gomorrah. 
 
It is probably the Lord in Revelation that tells 'his people' to "Come out of her...."  He will not bring judgment upon Babylon until His people have been removed from her. 
 
Babylon has been judged and found wanting.  This reminds me of the story of Belshazzar, the Babylonian king.  Mene = God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it (Daniel 5:26)   Tekel = You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting (Daniel 5:27)  Upharsin = Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians (Daniel 5:28)  Mene, tekel, upharsin:  numbered, numbered, weighed and divided 
Mene mene tekel upharsin: what does it mean? | Bibleinfo.com
 
Will this be a sign in the Heaven?
 
IF what is happening in the heavens on November 11 is prophetic - asteroid Babylon (representing a 'city' identified as Babylon on Earth in the Revelation) enters the Scales of Justice/Libra (as the city, Babylon has been judged and found worthy of destruction).  And there are two 11 numbers - double destruction - fire and water.  THEN the Lord's people will be called out before the destruction - just like in the story of Lot.  And November 11 is the anniversary date of the beginning of the Flood - the first global destruction (by water).  The second global destruction is by fire....if this happens on November 11, it will be the beginning by the Fire. Both global destructions starting on the same day.  And Washington D.C. is the most powerful city in the world in our time, a most wicked and godless city.
 
And November 11, follows the blood moon eclipse on election day in the U.S. (November 8) an omen of destruction!!  This election is the only election in the U.S. to occur on a blood moon..so far. "The blood moon phase will be visible from North and Central America...and will begin at 3:02AM EST and reaches totality at 5:16AM EST before ending at 8:56AM EST.
How to watch the Blood Moon lunar eclipse on Nov. 8 online, the last until 2025
 
The Babylonians believed that the lunar eclipse portended the death of a king.  And this blood moon follows the darkening of the sun (partial solar eclipse of October 25, 2022):  "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 the Lord"  Joel 2:30
 
Lots of interesting 'coincidences'...
 
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
 
Maranatha!
