He does a good job of going through the verses and laying out the countries that will be in this attack. I don't fully agree with his interpretation, but that is fine, I do agree with the process and we should all be familiar with these verses.

The Timing of Ezekiel 38 and 39
He makes a strong case that this is a pre tribulation battle. I sort of agree, I think this takes place seven years before the Lord returns, but I also think the rapture is 7 1/2 years before the Lord returns. So then, the rapture changes the world situation. The second point of contention I have is that he thinks Israel must be the land of unwalled villages. That is not the case and so the tribulation cannot start right now. I disagree. 49% of the world's Jews live in Israel and 49% of them live in the US. There are two kingdoms for Israel today, just as there were in the OT. The United States is the land of unwalled villages. They are the ones with all the cattle, the attack on the US as the Great Babylon takes place at the time of the rapture. I believe that is when this Ezekiel 38 and 39 war begins and it begins with a surprise attack on the US. No verse is of its own interpretation. If we have to wait until Israel dwells securely and is the land of unwalled villages he is postponing the last seven years for many, many more years in the future. That would mean too many other prophecies would fall by the wayside.

There are several very big wars prophesied about for the future. The two most notable are Armageddon at the end of the seven year tribulation and the war at the end of the millennial reign when Satan is released for a short time. After both of these the Lord and His people will be renowned. However, if you understand Israel as the land of unwalled villages living in peace after a great victory that would only refer to the war at the end of the millennial reign. If you consider the US the land of unwalled villages today then this could take place at the beginning of the seven years.

The Millennial reign is also called "the restoration of all things". Over 1,000 years the Mideast will be restored, and Israel's borders will be from the Mediterranean to the River Euphrates and the entire Mid East will be with them. They will restore it like the Garden of Eden just as they have done with the Negev. to not be cutting down trees for seven years will be a great help to the final restoration.

So it is very possible that the Ezekiel 38 and 39 war is like bookends to the millennial kingdom, that is fine, but it is almost certainly at the start and I see no reason why it can't also be at the end. So instead of debating either or, how about "both". The reason I take this view is because Revelation is a conclusion to the Bible, you are not supposed to bring in new information in the conclusion. Therefore I expect this uprising of Satan at the end of the thousand years to be prophesied in the OT.

2nd Passover

Some people say 2nd Passover is not important. If it was simply a footnote in the book of Numbers perhaps, but we see it here with Hezekiah and as you can see this event is not "nothing".

2 Chronicles 30:1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the Lord God of Israel.

After the rapture the woman flees on the wings of the great eagle. I believe this is a reference to Jews returning to Israel from the US. Also I believe many prophecies directed to Ephraim refer to the US and many to Manasseh refer to Jews who were in Germany.

2 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.

This is an entire chapter about all of Israel keeping 2nd Passover. They were all defiled by dead religion whether it was Rabbis telling them that Jesus was not the Messiah or the Apostasy that departed from the word of God.

3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.

They have two problems, first they were not sanctified, that means they were not fully separated unto the Lord and made holy. Today in Christianity they condemn anyone that talks about being sanctified as though that is a "works gospel". Like the church in Pergamon they are married to the world. They have been defiled by Balaam and Jezebel. This is why I say that May 14th is resurrection day, the Jews are celebrating the wrong date for Passover. Everyone left behind at the rapture it will be because "they had not sanctified themselves sufficiently".

4 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation. 5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.

Ever since Rehoboam Israel was divided, just like Catholics and Protestants are divided today. However, after the rapture those walls of division will fall down.

6 So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria. 7 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

At the time of the rapture all believers will see who the genuine believers are and also who the false prophets were. There will be great destruction and persecution of the false prophets. When Elijah called down fire that exposed the prophets of Baal who they then slew. When Samson pushed out the two pillars the temple collapsed killing 3,000. After the rapture there will be a great repentance as the people of God turn back to follow the Lord with their whole heart.

8 Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the Lord, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.

Right after the rapture, those who are left behind will be cast out into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. They will see the fierceness of the Lord's wrath towards them and that will motivate them to yield themselves unto the Lord.

9 For if ye turn again unto the Lord, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.

This is what 2nd Passover is, it is a second chance.

2nd Passover (part 2)

10 So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

This is precisely what the Jesus freaks went through, all those who were sufficiently sanctified to be raptured, and many of those who laughed them to scorn and mocked them were Christians. So this is righteous judgement. As you have done it will be done to you. When this happens give thanks to the Lord because He is righteous. Confess, repent, and rejoice that you also are worthy to suffer for the name of Jesus.

11 Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.

Yes, the proper attitude is to humble yourself under the mighty hand of God.

12 Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.

Also give thanks to the Lord, view that mocking and scorn as going through the car wash and washing all those who are not of one heart away.

13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

This revival will be great, like the revival at the start of the church age. You don't want to miss this (if you are left behind).

14 And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.

Those are altars to idols, this is what corrupted them and why they were not sufficiently sanctified and why they were left behind.

15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the Lord.

Imagine you are a Pastor who was left behind. Of course you would be ashamed.

16 And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites. 17 For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the Lord. 18 For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good Lord pardon every one 19 That prepareth his heart to seek God, the Lord God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.

There will be many believers who were never properly taught from the word of God. They might show up wearing idolatrous clothing and jewelry, but they do this out of ignorance.

20 And the Lord hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.

When you first get saved and baptized you need to deal with many things. I took all of my music albums and burned them because they were idolatrous. I threw away many of my T shirts. In fact I threw away just about everything I owned and that was a good move since many items are "charmed" that are given to you as gifts. If you are not aware the music industry uses witchcraft on every album they produce and sell.

2nd Passover (part 3)


21 And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the Lord.

This was a new beginning for them. This is a shadow of the start of the "post rapture tribulation". It begins in the 2nd month. The 2nd rapture tells us when the rapture is because all those who are left behind, it is the first thing they do. Do not be deceived by the Jewish rabbis who tell you that Passover was last month, they are false prophets. They deny that Jesus Christ is Lord and they deny that Jesus redeemed us with His blood. That is the definition of a false prophet. Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light, he can also disguise himself as an expert on the Torah. Passover requires that you first reap your field and then bring the offering. This means that it takes place after the Barley harvest, not at the start of the Barley harvest. The true day of Resurrection is May 14th, the day that Israel walked out of the graves and into the land of Israel, and thus the true Passover is May 11th. 2nd Passover will be the following month.

22 And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the Lord: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the Lord God of their fathers. 23 And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness. 24 For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves. 25 And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.

The Lord will turn your sorrow to joy. When you are left behind you will feel like everything is lost and you are condemned. Now you realize that is not the case, the Lord has not forsaken you, He has not abandoned you and He will lead you out as well.

26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem. 27 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.

Information of the 3 Days of Darkness 2-28-24



This is information that I have received through dreams, visions and words from the Lord Jesus Christ and Father God and presenting it to you in the best of my understanding. But as always you need to take it directly to the Lord Jesus Christ in prayer and discern it scripturally all I have provided in his name. Then proceed however the sweet Holy Spirit leads you in all things.



When the auroras also called the dancing colorful lights or northern lights appear to be seen simultaneously all over the word that is your warning signal from Father God to get inside. Do not stop to gaze at their beauty or snap pictures. You need to get home or inside a building for safety. The 3 Days of Darkness descends at noon, but which noon time Father God hasn’t clarified to me. This is why He has given the colorful auroras as a sign for His beloved little children. (Job 5:14; Amos 8:9)

How to prepare:

  1. Pray and repent of your sins now before the 3 days of darkness comes. No one is promised a tomorrow unless God gives it.
  2. Have a plan in place so that Lord willing, when the aurora’s appears your family/friends know exactly what to do, where to go, and how to get there before the 3 days of darkness fully descends.
  3. If you can’t make it home or to a building, then stay in your vehicle. I recommend all to pray about keeping 3 days of food, drinks, and dark thick blankets. You will need to keep your head covered with the blankets from what is occurring in the darkness. And pray in Jesus Christ’s Name!
  4. A person/persons caught out in the darkness without any protection in my understanding, no matter who it is will be torn into shreds by the demons, nephilim, and evil fallen angels that are released after being imprisoned and bound for so long. Please pray about this in Jesus Christ’s Name. (This is why the warning from Father God is given out of love about this in advance.)
  5. A true Child of God who loves Jesus Christ and living a pleasing, holy an obedient life in Him doesn't have any reason to be afraid of the coming 3 days of darkness. These are those who will have some form of electrical power provided by our Father God as the Israelites did in the land of Goshen during the 3 days of darkness that covered the land of Egypt during Moses and Pharaoh’s days. (Exodus 10:21-23)
  6. When the darkness comes and you find yourself without some form of electrical power and only able to use candlelight, this is a sign that you’re still being protected by Father God, but you have been found with sin in your life. Otherwise, you would have somehow had use of your electrical power.
  7. This is time that should be spent by the true believers of Jesus Christ in prayer, reading the Word of God, and seeking for the salvation of others.
  8. Lock all doors and windows, close all drapes and blinds and/or cover windows anyway you can, like taped cardboard, black plastic, towels, etc. if Jesus Christ leads you to do so. This is for those who might be in candlelight or have unsaved or small children that may try to open the doors or windows. Some of the evil demon spirits could be mimicking someone they know and love. If someone who isn’t spiritual prepared in Jesus Christ and isn’t accustomed already to seeing demons and such like, the shock of the horror of what they are seeing will cause many to lose their sanity of their minds and could cause heart failure.
  9. If you find yourself by candlelight, then you will most likely hear the demons, Nephilim, and fallen angels screaming outside or their mimicking voices as someone you love or know professing to be trapped outside and begging to be let in. They are trying to trick you to open a door or window. IN JESUS CHRIST’S NAME, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OR WINDOW! This will allow this evil outside to enter the place you are located at.
  10. The darkness is of the outer darkness and is a thick darkness that is seen with spiritual eyes. Your physical eyes will see nothing except blackness. It will feel as if it is alive to the sinner and backslider. Many hearts shall fail them in fear of what has come. *Again, the true child of Jesus' Christ has no reason to fear these things because they stand in the power of His Name and authority.
  11. During the 3 days of darkness no one will come and go out of the place they are in until it's over. No work. No school. No running errands. No anything for 3 days until Father God lifts the darkness by His holy command.
  12. If you are not sure in your heart where your relationship is with Father God and Jesus Christ, then please pray about having 3 days’ worth of food and drink for yourself and others. Ask sweet Holy Spirit how to prepare in Jesus Christ’s name.
Also, this is for those with electrical power too. You need to have enough food and drinks for all.

  1. This is the set aside time for the demons and fallen angels once bound to be released as well as others for the end time days to be fulfilled. This is why it is recommended for you not to look outside or be outside. Seeing so much evil can cause people to possibly have heart attacks or lose their minds from the horror and terror that occurs from the sight. But also for many it will be the last chance to repent of their sins. This is God's mercy and love even in judgment.
  2. If purchasing candles for yourself and others just in case you are found without electrical lights, then please use wisdom. Please purchase unscented candles. I say this because perfumes and scented items originate from the Marine kingdom of darkness. If you already purchased candles to use, then if they are scented and from the Marine kingdom, they will most likely have curses, bewitchments and spell like things cast upon them that will attract the evil to your location. They will still be outside but there will be more than if you had used different candles.
  3. If you have already purchased scented candles, then please pray over them, and ask sweet Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ’s name to reveal if there are any that you need to remove witchcraft from. Also, ask if there’s candles that you need to dispose of. Some items when accursed a demon is a physical part of the item, and you cannot break the witchcraft power off it. When you pray and ask these questions in Jesus Christ’s Name and get an answer, then discern what spirit is speaking to you. Is it from God or the devil? You do this by the following verses. (1 John 4:1-3; 13-15 & 1 Corinthians 12:3)
  4. If you are with candlelight, you will still need to focus on the Lord Jesus Christ. You will also battle in your mind an onslaught of mental attacks from the evil outside. The battle we already know begins in the mind. Repent and stay in prayer in Jesus Christ’s Name if you haven’t already by this time.
  5. Make sure to have needed essentials on hand for all such as toilet paper, matches/lighters, your Holy Bibles, plates, forks, etc. If by candlelight pray about having an ice cooler to keep items cold if led by the sweet Holy Spirit to do so.
  6. If you’re in a region of land where the weather is still cold, then pray about having additional blankets on hand for ready use.
  7. Pray about purchasing a fire extinguisher where candles might be in use.
  8. Pray in Jesus Christ's name for which preparations He would lead you to do and any others that may not be written here.
  9. When Rachel weeps meaning the children under the age of accountability (innocent minded) and those other of innocent minds will be removed before or at the beginning of the 3 days of darkness, the demons may try to mimic the missing children’s voices. Parents will be more susceptible to open the door to a child or children that have disappeared. Do not open the door! It is the enemy and the children are taken to be with Jesus Christ so they do not have to endure the horror of what is coming.
  10. When taping up the windows/doors do not apply the tape to the glass itself because when the heat of the sun is removed by the darkness for 3 days, and the temperature cools down outside combined with the warm temperature in your homes & etc. it can possibly cause condensation and the tape might come loose.


I strongly recommend you seek Jesus Christ for more details and ask Him for verses in the Holy Bible that will reveal the truth of His words.



God bless. Stay under the Blood of Jesus Christ always!
