Amos 3 -- We are supposed to be the salt and the light

3 Hear this word, people of Israel, the word the Lord has spoken against you—against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt: 2 “You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your sins.” 3 Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so? 4 Does a lion roar in the thicket when it has no prey? Does it growl in its den when it has caught nothing? 5 Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground when no bait is there? Does a trap spring up from the ground if it has not caught anything? 6 When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble? When disaster comes to a city, has not the Lord caused it? 7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.

We have a duty and a responsibility. We know God’s words, we know His laws. We are supposed to be the light of the world and the salt that kills the germs. If God and His people are going to walk together they must be in agreement. If you are a servant of the Lord you should hear when the Lion seizes the prey. You should be aware when the trap has sprung. You need to sound the trumpet! The fool in his heart says there is no God, but we need to let them know that when disaster comes to a city the Lord has caused it. This plan has been revealed to His servants, so the servants have a responsibility and a duty to sound the alarm.

8 The lion has roared— who will not fear? The Sovereign Lord has spoken— who can but prophesy? 9 Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod and to the fortresses of Egypt: “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest within her and the oppression among her people.” 10 “They do not know how to do right,” declares the Lord, “who store up in their fortresses what they have plundered and looted.” 11 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “An enemy will overrun your land, pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses.” 12 This is what the Lord says: “As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s mouth only two leg bones or a piece of an ear, so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued, with only the head of a bed and a piece of fabric from a couch.”

The Lord has spoken that He will judge them for what they have done to the poor. They have plundered and looted the poor like an invading army, therefore an invading army will plunder and loot your strongholds. Joel describes this invading army as a “bug” and uses five or six different analogies. But consider what this virus will do to the banks and investment banks that sell mortgage backed securities. Shopping malls and theaters are done. Concerts and sports arenas are done. They will be bankrupt. Even if they are allowed to reopen they won’t be allowed to operate profitably. Also, all the small businesses in the malls will also go bankrupt, if they survive it will be through an online presence. And therefore the anchor businesses like Sears and Macy’s will also go under. Now the saying in the real estate business is this: if you owe $1 million to the bank you have a problem, if you owe $1billion to the bank they have a problem. The banks have a huge problem. The trap has been sprung, the lion has the prey in his mouth and is roaring. Maybe a few scraps here and there will be rescued, that is it. This situation has forced everyone to use the internet and you can expect orders over the internet to companies like Amazon.com will increase greatly but these in turn will cause most of the stores with a retail presence to go out of business. With unemployment at Great Depression levels you can expect the housing market to also collapse. Car sales are seeing a 30% drop nationwide, it is hard to imagine that showrooms can keep much of a retail presence anywhere other than cyberspace. Now one thing you can be sure of is the banks will keep a smile on their face and pretend all is well with the hope of somehow selling what few scraps they have left.

13 “Hear this and testify against the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty. 14 “On the day I punish Israel for her sins, I will destroy the altars of Bethel; the horns of the altar will be cut off and fall to the ground. 15 I will tear down the winter house along with the summer house; the houses adorned with ivory will be destroyed and the mansions will be demolished,” declares the Lord.

This is talking about a “golden calf”, interestingly down by Wall Street they have a bronze bull indicating a bull market. The stock market has several sources of power, of course you have the major stock indexes like S&P 500, and you have the bond index, you have the commodities market, and you have currency markets. These will all be cut off. We are seeing major inflation due to the unrestrained spending of the Biden administration. They are using the printing press to print money and that is robbery to all those who have US debt. The only protection for other countries is to buy into some digital currency and to dump the US dollar as a reserve currency. That will cut off the horns of the altar. You will see a collapse of the US economy. Not so much for the poor and blue collar as we will shift to a barter economy, but to the wealthy, their entire wealth will be gone in a flash.

One of the stated goals of the pagans (the Amalekites, those like Hitler and Haman) is to keep the Earth's population at 500 million people. That is 7 billion people less than we have right now.

How would you do that? People immediately think that war is the answer, but when you have millions of people killed in a war you will be getting pushback and a hundred million is a tiny fraction of 7 billion and after wars there will be a baby boom. That is not a good solution, at least not at first.

You might think that abortions and forced abortions are the way to go. Between the US and China we have had over 100 million abortions, far more killed than any war ever did with far less pushback. No one likes to advertise how many people have been aborted. You can understand why Biden wants to pay for abortions all over the world, particularly in developing countries where the cost might be the reason some are not doing it. The problem of course is the Christians, they are a real thorn in the side of everyone who wants to reduce world population by 7 billion. This year we have had 20 million abortions and yet global population is still increasing, not decreasing.

How about a bioweapon? The Pandemic has killed 3 million so far, really not enough to justify the cost. But, suppose you could use the Pandemic as an excuse to sterilize all the women under the guise of a vaccine? That could work. Already they think 1 billion people have been vaccinated. Interestingly the main focus of the vaccine is children, schools and colleges are making it all but mandatory. Whereas it seems to be optional for the over 60 crowd. Young professionals will also be required to get it because they want to enforce a "vaccine passport".

The bottom line is that the richest 1% of the world represents about 50 million people. In their opinion the "excess" 7 billion are the cause of all the ills. Overcrowding, pollution, epidemics, crime, these things are truly epidemic in the slums and poorest neighborhoods. This doesn't mean they hate people, they still would like 450 million to make their food, service their cars and do other menial labor that they don't want to do. But make no mistake, in their opinion the cause of all the problems is not rich corporations acting like sociopaths, but rather the poorest 90% of people.

Think about a car company, you are working on the assembly line and one day they announce massive layoffs. You may have learned about this today but you can be sure the CEO and Board of directors has been seeing the need to do this for several years. consider a real world example, an American car company in Detroit was losing market share. True, the car market was booming, more and more people were buying cars not just in the US but also in Europe and Asia, still their cars were losing sales. So the managers thought the solution was to make the cars cheaper and the only way to do that was to cut labor costs by making that assembly line run full speed no matter what, you stop the assembly line you will be fired on the spot. Cars were being made with all kinds of problems and the buyers realized they were a piece of junk. Ford came to be known as "Found On the Road Dead". It was obvious to all who were on the line that this policy was idiotic and sure enough the reason that the Japanese cars were taking over was because they took the opposite approach (anyone who spots a problem was to stop the assembly line immediately and fix it). They knew that an ounce of prevent is worth a pound of cure. As a result their cars were scoring top marks for reliability whereas the American cars were considered cheap, junky and poorly made.

But the question I have is why didn't the managers of the American car companies figure this out? No doubt Ford, the founder of Ford would never have been so stupid. The reason is that the US car companies were a generation older than the Japanese, the managers were all kids of elites who never worked on the line, they simply had gone straight into management. In short they were idiots whose idiotic leadership steered American auto industry onto the rocks.

Think about it, the only solution to their idiotic leadership was to layoff people and shut down factories and close dealerships. This is like the elites today thinking the only solution to their mismanagement of the Earth is to kill off 7 billion people.

Consider this news report. The Delta variant is a new strain of the virus which they state "if you have not been vaccinated you are a sitting duck". But that doesn't make any sense, the vaccine took a portion of the Covid virus and replicated it to develop immunity to that portion. People who were exposed to Covid 19 developed immunity to the entire virus. A variant is a mutation of that virus, so even though part of it has changed a lot of it will still be recognizable to those who had Covid. This is why those countries who got SARS were all but immune to Covid 10 years later. They are pushing a narrative that is contrary to science to guilt shame everyone into being vaccinated.

No doubt Pfizer and the other vaccines have a financial interest in this, I have heard Pfizer will make $100 billion from the vaccine. But the facts are that people are acting rationally. They understand their risk and are getting the vaccine according to that risk. 80% of the elderly have been vaccinated whereas it is 40% of young people.

Second, the concern over "herd immunity" is overblown. If 50% of the country is vaccinated and our most vulnerable are vaccinated, then it will greatly slow the spread of a pandemic and it will also mean the healthiest immune systems will be the ones that may get sick and yet they are also the ones most likely to survive. With Covid 19 we had a 99.5% survival rate among the healthiest among us. Not only so but we now have three effective therapeutics, so we might be able to drop this number to 99.9% survival rate. You could still see 100,000 deaths like you do in a very bad flu season, but it seems hardly significant enough to change laws and force everyone to be vaccinated. It seems there is a different agenda that is motivating this response.

Exodus 19:16-20 vs 1Thessalonians 4:16-18


Exodus 19:16 And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of a trumpet exceeding loud; and all the people that were in the camp trembled. 17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. 18 And mount Sinai, the whole of it, smoked, because Jehovah descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. 19 And when the voice of the trumpet waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. 20 And Jehovah came down upon mount Sinai, to the top of the mount: and Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.



1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; 17 then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore [g]comfort one another with these words.


Compare these two portions.



Exodus 19
Thunders and lightnings
Thick cloud
Voice
Trumpet
Jehovah descended
Moses called to the top
To meet God

1Thessalonians 4
Descend from heaven with a shout
Caught up in the clouds

Trump of God
Lord himself shall descend
Caught up
to meet the Lord

(Thanks to God a minute?)

Count it all Joy -- An example

Mike Lindell said something that really registered with me. He said that the stolen election was perfect. By that He meant it was God's perfect plan. Why? He supported Trump, why would he think that stealing the election would be "God's perfect plan", why would he rejoice? He said if Trump had won despite the election fraud no one would have cared, but because he lost people cared and demanded an investigation.

Also if it had been close, say a charismatic Obama versus an energetic Trump, competing campaign rallies, then it would be totally believable whoever won. But the fact that Biden has dementia, his rallies had about 8 cars in the lot that were from the local rental agency, rented by his campaign, and the fact that he hid in the basement during the campaign made it unbelievable. Trump went to five rallies in a single day, these rallies would be packed with tens of thousands of people all dressed in gear supporting him. The contrast could not have been more stark, that is what Lindell said when he said it was "perfect".

Within days grass roots protestors had formed the "Stop the Steal" rallies. They were not created by Trump's campaign. Thousands of witnesses came forward and signed affidavits. Experts from around the world joined in the effort doing statistical analysis, tracking down hundreds of thousands of mail in ballots, checking voters rolls, and filing legal challenges. No one paid these volunteers. That was "perfect", the Spirit of the Lord moving in the conscience of people around the world to stop this house from being broken into.

Why is the US important? Throughout human history human government has been tyrannical. Pharaohs, Kings, Emperors, Dictators, and Generals have all run the various countries. Early experiments with Democracy were only for landholders, the elites, not for slaves, working folks, common man. In world history the US is unique. Were they sinful? Yes. Were they composed of greedy and selfish people? Yes. But it was a government by the people, for the people and of the people. It has never happened before and if it fails it might never happen again. Israel's future, Taiwan's future, they both hang in the balance. If the US falls they fall, and if they fall then it will only be a matter of time till Australia and New Zealand fall. Every other country (Japan, S. Korea, S. Africa, etc) will become puppets overnight.

But this is like the trial where Jesus was convicted and sentenced. It was so obviously corrupt that no one could miss it. I believe that JFK's assassination was an inside job carried out by elements of our national security apparatus. That is based on years of study of the evidence. You may not believe that, fair enough. I also believe that the reason Nixon had to resign was because he couldn't let his henchmen fall on their swords because they had been involved in the assassination. I also feel that 9/11 was an inside job. The evidence is quite compelling and overwhelming that the official story is completely false. It becomes a little murkier when you want to know exactly who carried out this operation, but it is like looking through a dirty window. We can see enough though not as clearly as we would like. But maybe that is not enough for you, fine. Surely the mortgage meltdown in 2008 should have been enough. You could see clearly then that the people robbing widows houses and for a pretense making long prayers were protected and supported by Obama and Bush. The corruption in the government at that point was so astounding everyone should have been clear. That is why 80 million voted for Trump, they were clear.

So this election fraud it was perfect, we have 80 million who are already convinced, but as the evidence comes out you will see more and more people wake up and see what is going on. Maybe seeing CGI of Biden talking to reporters will wake them up, that is right, not a dream. Maybe seeing a scripted press conference with everyone having prerehearsed lines, maybe that wakes you up. Maybe seeing the censorship of the news concerning Hunter Biden will do it, apparently that woke up 6% of those who had voted for Biden. Lindell has released one movie "Absolute Proof" and will release a second movie "Absolute Interference" this week. He is planning on releasing information on the fraud every day for six weeks straight.

But even if that doesn't wake you up perhaps the loyalty pledge they want the military to make, the most persuasive evidence of a cult, that will do it. Perhaps seeing the hypocrisy of those calling for Trump's impeachment after the inauguration, the same people who supported BLM riots and looting, perhaps that will wake you up. Or the hypocrisy of those crying about "kids in cages" with Trump yet have gone silent with three times as many "kids in cages" with Biden. Maybe the hypocrisy in pushing for gun control laws by Biden while covering up and not enforcing felony violations of gun control laws by Hunter Biden will wake you up. Maybe the executive actions about eliminating genders, or legalizing abortions right up to birth, or having American's pay for abortions for foreigners, or maybe watching at they spend 90% of a $1.9 trillion dollar bill paying back their political friends.

The cross of Christ, it reveals the Son of God with the power of resurrection, it also reveals Satan, the liar and thief who comes to kill, steal and destroy. The cross of Christ is perfect, therefore we need to rejoice. Rejoice that the flesh, and Satan and the world has been nailed to the cross and rejoice that Jesus has the power of resurrection.

Acts 8:1-25 -- What can stand in our way of the Gospel?

8 And Saul approved of their killing him.

Just like those that approved of the crucifixion of Jesus.

On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.

Psalm 80:1 Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth 2 before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh. Awaken your might; come and save us. 3 Restore us, O God; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.

This persecution has been likened to the wind blowing on a dandelion and sending the seeds in all directions. We are seeing the same scattering today. People are being scattered from the social platforms throughout the internet. They are leaving mainstream media, and they are leaving tech giants services like Google and Amazon.com

2 Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him. 3 But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off both men and women and put them in prison.

Psalm 80:4 How long, Lord God Almighty, will your anger smolder against the prayers of your people? 5 You have fed them with the bread of tears; you have made them drink tears by the bowlful. 6 You have made us an object of derision to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us.

This is our history. I heard one atheist mocking Christians as those that believe the reason we don’t have unicorns is because they were late to Noah’s ark. The plan right now is to go after anyone who was in the “MAGA movement”. Since there were 75 million or more who voted for Trump that is not possible, so instead they are targeting high profile people like Mike Lindell and news services like Epoch Times.

4 Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. 5 Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah there. 6 When the crowds heard Philip and saw the signs he performed, they all paid close attention to what he said. 7 For with shrieks, impure spirits came out of many, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. 8 So there was great joy in that city.

Stephen is killed and Phillip stands up. There is a verse in a song that says “all he could do the foe was just release the flow”.

Psalm 80:7 Restore us, God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved. 8 You transplanted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. 9 You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land. 10 The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches. 11 Its branches reached as far as the Sea, its shoots as far as the River.

Now is not the time to be timid. They are calling for the resignation of some politicians, they are recalling others, and they are passing legislation to deal with issues at the State level that the Federal government won’t deal with. We can hear their shrieks as we see hedge funds lose billions of dollars, and companies that agreed to the “cancel culture” go bankrupt. People are exiting the tech giants and as a result the daily usage of platforms like Twitter is plummeting.

9 Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great, 10 and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed, “This man is rightly called the Great Power of God.”

One of the really humiliating aspects of the last 2,000 years is the proliferation of charlatans claiming “great power of God”. This is a second way in which the enemy lays the groundwork to mock the church and hold us in derision.

Psalm 80:12 Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes? 13 Boars from the forest ravage it, and insects from the fields feed on it.

11 They followed him because he had amazed them for a long time with his sorcery. 12 But when they believed Philip as he proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13 Simon himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw.

People who are accomplished illusionists are very good at spotting fakes. This is why the FBI hires hackers to catch hackers and counterfeiters to catch counterfeiters. For this many to be astonished and to believe is a powerful testimony.

Psalm 80:14 Return to us, God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine, 15 the root your right hand has planted, the son you have raised up for yourself.

14 When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to Samaria.15 When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers there that they might receive the Holy Spirit, 16 because the Holy Spirit had not yet come on any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

This word “Spirit” can also be translated as breath or wind. When we breathe in the word of God and it becomes our breath, then we receive the Holy Spirit. The teaching and fellowship of the apostles is the breath of God, receive that word by faith and you will be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Psalm 80:16 Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish. 17 Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself. 18 Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name. 19 Restore us, Lord God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.

18 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money 19 and said, “Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” 20 Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! 21 You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God. 22 Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord in the hope that he may forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. 23 For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin.”

Such a common thought in the world, “how can I make money from this?” The rule in the New Testament is “freely you have received, freely give”. Money is an idol, the world worships this idol. In the church we only worship Jesus who saved us with the free gift of grace. Get your heart right with the Lord and your question will be how can I express Jesus.

24 Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”

Once we have received Jesus by faith He begins to work in us. We need our mind renewed with the mind of Christ. This is not an instantaneous process, but rather a process that takes time. The more we set our mind on Christ the more our mind is renewed. Prayer, fellowship, reading the word, singing hymns of praise, listening to the apostles fellowship, these are all ways in which we can set our mind on Christ.

25 After they had further proclaimed the word of the Lord and testified about Jesus, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many Samaritan villages.

The chapter began with a great persecution against the church, and yet almost immediately this is turned to the Lord leading a train of vanquished foes as the gospel is spread far and wide.

1. Centerpiece of all prophecy is the crucifixion, burial, resurrection, and ascension to heaven.


2. Good news began after the resurrection of Jesus and the rejection of Jesus by the Jews = the church age.


A. Summarized by the finished work on the cross, the Resurrection of Jesus, and a complete payment for sin. Blessed hope is that


the Lord will snatch us off this earth at the appointed time.


3. Only one date that conforms perfectly to the account of the date of the Lord Jesus’ crucifixion. (see “The Day Jesus Died”) — Wednesday April 28th, 28AD, Ascended May 1, 28 AD, Ascended to heaven May 2, 28 AD at 9 AM.

4. Israel became a nation in 1948. Add 1948 years to 28 AD and you get May 15th 1976 — nothing happened. But if you multiply 1948 prophetic years by 360 prophetic days you get 701,280 Prophetic days. Start on May 2, 28 AD the day Jesus ascended to Heaven and adding 701,280 prophetic days you arrive at May 14th, 1948, one of the most prophetically significant dates in all of human history. “Son of Man, can these bones live” (Ezekiel) and “Can a nation be born in a day?” (Isaiah) prophecies were fulfilled on this day.

This is the unsealing of a prophetic pattern hidden for two thousand years. Words that were shut up and sealed have now been unsealed as God allows knowledge of His prophecies to be increased.

from RockIslandbooks:

The prophecy of Daniel’s 70 weeks of years

A numeric Biblical prophecy.

3 — Number of Divine perfection

7 — Number of Divine Completion

10 — Number of Ordinal perfection

12 — Number of Governmental perfection

3 x 7 x 10 x 12 = 2520

God’s divine chronological clock. The number of the divine super cycle.

2520 is the only number that can be divided by all the numbers, 1-9, without leaving a remainder.

This is the number 7 on steroids, it reveals a sea change is about to take place. 7 x 360 (the number of days in a prophetic year) = 2520.

In Daniel’s prophecy 70 weeks = 70 x 7 = 490 and these are years, not days. 69 weeks represents 483 years.

We are told in Daniel’s prophecy the 70th week contains exactly 7 x 360 = 2520 days.

Working backward from the crucifixion we can know that the decree which started the clock ticking was in 457 BC. Best guess as to the season is that the decree went forth in the month Tishri (possibly Nisan).

Many teach that the clock stopped after the 69th week. But there is no example in the Bible of this taking place, rather there are examples fo God adding time and multiplying time in order to deal with Israel rebelling and to cause them to repent.

The exact end of the final 7 prophetic years of Daniel’s prophecy results in the end of Jacob’s trouble and the end of the time of tribulation. Christ returns to set up his literal 1,000 years on Earth.

In numbers the spies returned with an evil report revealing unbelief and grumbling. Then God added 40 years because they spent 40 days searching the land. God multiplied and added time and the blame was laid squarely on them. They were the ones who breached the promise (broke the contract). You can compare this response by Israel at this time to the response of Israel when Jesus came and they rejected Him. At that time God was ready to wipe out all of Israel, just as Jesus said God would be ready to wipe out all the evil people who slew His son. In that story Moses interceded for Israel and Moses is a type of Christ. On the cross of Calvary Jesus also pleaded for Israel (forgive them for they know not what they do).

In Numbers 14:2, 28-29 God curses them by fulfilling their words. “Oh that we had died in the wilderness”, OK, God decided they all would die in the wilderness.

In Matthew the curse that they put on their own heads “His blood be on us and on our children”.

What did Jesus say to those who were seeking a sign? A wicked generation seeks a sign, no sign shall be given it but the sign of the Prophet Jonah. The crucifixion and resurrection is the sign to us.

Here is the pattern Israel spied out the land for 40 days and didn’t enter in for unbelief so they had to stay in the wilderness for 40 years, one year for each day. This was due to unbelief. Why does the 69 weeks and the 70th week have this distinction, again, unbelief of the Jews rejecting the king. 7 x 360 prophetic days = 2520 years. 2520 prophetic years of 360 days each = 907,200 days.

Israel spent exactly 40 years in the wilderness. Began with several years earlier, started from the moment they entered the wilderness, it was only 38 years from the time they breached the contract. (suppose you were in jail awaiting trial, then you are given ten years but get credit for time served).

We start our countdown on 10th of Tishri, 457 BC (September 28, 457 AD) + 907,200 days = July 22, 2028. That is a prediction of the season in which the Lord will come to set up His kingdom. Mid summer. Once the Lord comes there is still 75 days before the Kingdom actually begins so there is plenty of time to fulfill the Fall Feasts of Trumpets, Yom Kippur and Tabernacles.

Prior to this date (Late summer early fall season of His coming) there are 7 years of tribulation which will be exactly 2520 days. This tells us the Tribulation begins in the Fall of 2021 (at the latest). If the decree went forth in Nisan then the tribulation begins in early summer. I suspect the 9th of Av (the day Noah released the dove and the Raven and then pulled the dove back into the ark) is a very good date for the beginning of the tribulation — August 16th, 2021.

This is not a prophecy for the church, it is a prophecy for Israel and their unbelief.

There is a lot in this video, it will take quite a bit of time to unravel everything.
