OK, he makes some very interesting points.
1. We have a very good prophecy of two weeks of darkness. He explains that as being from the Full Moon to the new moon when we have the eclipse.
2. Amos says that God will turn our holidays into mourning. If the rapture were to take place at April 8th/9th or later that would be after Ramadan, after Passover and after Easter. However, if the rapture takes place at the full moon you could have two weeks of darkness that ends with this eclipse. That two weeks would hit Jewish, Christian and Moslem festivals.
3. Vicki Goforth Parnells dream was of "3 moons". if that refers to full moons then this would fit with her dream.
4. Purim is celebrated at the full moon of Adar II on a leap year. That would be March 25th.
5. This would be on the Lord's day (24th) which is a dress rehearsal for the wedding feast and the rapture.
6. This would also be on Palm Sunday when Jesus is supposed to enter Jerusalem triumphantly.
7. The following day Jesus flips the tables of the money changers. We can believe that will be the day that the US economy and dollar collapses.
8. After two weeks of darkness (crucifixion, Judas betrayal, paying off the guards, lying to the people) then the antichrist emerges. This would also be Nisan 1, the start of Antichrist's 7 year reign, which we would expect to start on the first day of the year.
9. Also the almond tree blossoming reminds us of Aaron's budded rod. This first rapture could be to identify the house of Aaron, the priests. You would expect that at the time that the almond tree blossoms in March.

Proverbs 25:15-28 Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land.
15 Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
I am loving what these patriots have done in persisting with the investigation into election fraud. They have been patient and the rulers in Maricopa county were persuaded to do this extensive audit under a multitude of cameras with full transparency. There are indications that the results of this audit could “break the bone”, cause the dam to break on investigating election fraud nationwide. Rigged had a huge impact and 2,000 Mules was a very hard body blow. It is no longer the realm of poor losers or conspiracy theory, now the majority of Americans believe the election was fraudulent.
16 If you find honey, eat just enough— too much of it, and you will vomit.
We need balance, too much of anything will make you sick. I am happy with what is happening to X with Elon Musk’s takeover, but a tiny taste is sweet, anymore and I will vomit. Elon Musk is not some “savior” for Christians, but hearing the Washington Post, owned by Bezos, saying that it is terrible for a billionaire to control the media like this was very enjoyable.
17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house— too much of you, and they will hate you.
We need to be balanced in our relationships. I suspect the entire world has come to hate the US. What used to be a Christian country that was generous has become a corrupt criminal organization that installs puppets and is run by crime families like the Bidens, Clintons and Obamas. Breaking news yesterday was that the federal government flies human traffickers and sex workers around the country for free. The Lord's judgment will fall hard on these ones.
18 Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow is one who gives false testimony against a neighbor. 19 Like a broken tooth or a lame foot is reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.
False testimony, we are seeing this done repeatedly. We were told that the policeman from January 6th who died was bludgeoned to death. That was a false testimony, like a club designed to beat down anyone who supported Trump. The 2nd impeachment accusing Trump of inciting a riot was a false testimony like a sharp arrow aimed at his heart. Accusations that the use of Hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid was irresponsible was a sword used to fight back during the election campaign. Then reliance on Mike Pence in the day of trouble was like having a broken tooth or a lame foot. Mike McCarthy has recently had audio of his phone calls released showing that he is unfaithful.
20 Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar poured on a wound, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
Likewise you have to be careful about these trials of people like Aubry and Floyd. People feel very strongly about these incidents. The mainstream media is really pushing the idea of systemic racism, so every time a black is shot and killed they portray it in the worst possible way, whereas if the person is white or asian they completely sweep it under the rug. There is nothing to rejoice in whether the person like Chauvin is found guilty of murder or the people involved in killing Aubry are found innocent. Either way you are vinegar on a wound.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. 22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.
The Lord said to love your enemies and do good to them just as God your Father in heaven does.
23 Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.
A sly tongue is able to help those completely befuddled by the enemy to see the horror in their ways. Bill Maher has a “sly tongue”. He is an atheist but he is able to provoke a horrified look bringing unexpected rain. Tucker Carlson also has a sly tongue.
24 Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
Someone needs to share this verse with Prince Harry. He has a quarrelsome wife who has raised this to historic levels. Recently the world watched this trial between Johnny Depp and his wife, a perfect illustration of how it is better to live in the corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
25 Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land.
To me the news from Arizona of their audit of 2 million ballots is good news and it was like cold water to a weary soul. I went to five Stop the Steal rallies and have been praying over this issue of election fraud since November. It was good news to me when DeSantis stood up to Disney, that was like a wonderful ice cold drink of water.
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well are the righteous who give way to the wicked.
Stop bowing the knee to cancel culture. Get a backbone. Look at how muddied the water is to move the All Star game in MLB from Atlanta which is 50% black to Denver which is 10% black. How is that supporting minorities? Really, you are offended with voter ID? Then why are you moving to Colorado, they require voter ID.
27 It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.
This chapter begins with it being a glory to search out a matter. When you receive glory it is like eating honey. But it isn’t honorable to focus on your glory, to be consumed with all the press clippings, what your image is, etc.
28 Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control.
What are these cities like that are “defunding the police”? They are like a city whose walls are broken through, they lack self control. Biden’s border policy has made this country like a city whose walls are broken through, he lacks self control.

People are finding all sorts of amazing "coincidences" with the eclipses making the Aleph and Tav, or going over seven cities named Salem, or going over six cities named Nineveh. Two of the eclipses intersect over Little Egypt in Illinois, and that is where they have a festival for the gathering of the vultures every year. Jesus said that it would be where the vultures gather, that is where the carcass would be, and "X marks the spot".
But I would argue these aren't coincidences. The Gospel of John said that all things came into being through the word of God and apart from the word of God nothing has come into being. One reason that God alone is the one who tells the end from the beginning is that when He speaks it comes into being. When He said that it would be where the vultures gather, then that came into being.
The writing on the wall begins with a promise of peace and a city of peace and ends with judgment on Nineveh for their crimes of slavery and human trafficking. So then are we surprised to learn that the human trafficking and sex trade in the US goes all the way to the President and that his administration is flying around human traffickers and sex workers for free?

Mark 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
κολοβόω kolobóō, kol-ob-o'-o; from a derivative of the base of G2849; to dock, i.e. (figuratively) abridge:—shorten. It is related to a word that can mean prune but the only way it is translated in the New Testament is "Punish".
Proverbs 10:27 The fear of the Lord prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
I think it is fair to say that this word is a reference to the punishment on the wicked, a pruning of their time.
Psalm 89:38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
This is what happened to Jesus. This is also what has happened to all those who have gone outside the camp to Jesus, despising the shame.
39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
The whole world lies in the evil one and this is due to man's sin.
40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
We often blame "the enemy" but here it is clear, it is God who is doing this. There is only one name by which we may be saved and that is Jesus and there is only one path that leads to salvation and that is through the cross. If you try to take any other way your strong holds are brought to ruin.
41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
This is how you learn that taking the way that seems right in your own eyes is a mistake.
42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
Why do we have to go through the cross. We are arrogant, we think we are rich and know all mysteries, we think we are great spiritual warriors. Whatever the reason it needs to be put on the cross.
45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.
Here is how I understand the Lord's use of the word "the days are shortened". The tribulation is punishment to the wicked and a correction for the believers who had been walking according to their own idea.

This parable does not refer to Israel being reborn, it refers to the UN.
Mark 13:28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: 29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
The fig tree reminds of Adam and Eve's sin. They will often refer to eating "the apple" but Adam and Eve did not cover themselves with apple leaves, they covered themselves with fig leaves. So once they ate the fruit they realized they were naked and right there were fig leaves. So we should associate the tree of the knowledge of good and evil with a fig tree because the two trees are obviously closely linked. The fig tree is not the national tree of Israel, that is the olive tree. The fig tree generation therefore does not refer to Israel returning to the land. It refers to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the temptation to be like God. It led to the tower of Babel and that was cursed with everyone speaking a different language. That tree has put forth its leaves when the UN was formed.
The first peace keeping operation of the UN was in 1946, that would be the first "leaf", but this prophecy says "leaves", plural. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was in 1948, a ceasefire in Israel in 1949 and Ralph Bunch wins the Nobel peace prize in 1950. Those are clearly "leaves", plural. So at that point we saw all the elements to tell us summer was near. We saw that Israel would be the focus of war and this was the organization that would be claiming peace and security. But we can also assume that the fig tree generation was born in 1945 and will not survive past October 23, 2026. We also know that the Antichrist "confirms the covenant with the many" and that term "many" can refer to elected representatives. So he rises while the UN is still in place. We know that the ten kings give him there power for a short period of time prior to the mark of the beast being implemented. We think these ten kings refer to BRICS and a new world currency.
Mark is different from Matthew because Matthew refers to "all the trees". That is focusing on all the nations that were formed after WW1 and WW2.
30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. 31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
So this is a great sign that we will see and "all these things shall be done" prior to this. What is Mark referring to? He is referring to the things in verses 24-27.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part
of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
This is the rapture, this is what we see in Revelation 12 when the stars are cast to heaven, this is a reference to a solar eclipse where the sun is darkened and the moon does not give her light. All these events must take place prior to the Antichrist being revealed and ruling for seven years.

Secrets of Purim
At 44:10 he has a prophecy in the Talmud:
"In the "footsteps" of the Messiah, impudence will increase and high costs will pile up. Although the vine shall bring forth its fruit, wine will nevertheless be expensive. And the government shall turn to heresy, and there will be no one to give reproof about this. The meeting places of the wise will become places of promiscuity, and the Galilee shall be destroyed, and the Gavlan will be desolate, and the men of the border shall go round from city to city but will find no mercy. And the wisdom of scribes will putrefy, and people who fear sin will be held in disgust, and the truth will be absent. The youth will shame the face of the elders, elders will have to stand before minors. A son will disgrace a father; a daughter will rise up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man's enemies will be the members of his household. The face of the generation will be like the face of a dog; a son will no longer be ashamed before his father. And upon what is there for us to rely? Only upon our Father in heaven."

Who confirms the covenant with the many? Antichrist, Jesus or both?
In Daniel it is confusing as to whether the one who confirms (strengthens) the covenant is the Antichrist or the Messiah. But suppose it is both.
Daniel tells us this is the start of the 70th week, the 7 year tribulation. Well how does it start? You have the rapture and then you have the Antichrist being revealed. The Antichrist is revealed because he confirms the covenant with the many, perhaps by requiring everyone to use a digital currency and thus strengthening this Paris accord. But suppose Jesus is also revealed when He raptures the saints. The rapture is also a confirmation of the covenant with the many. Antichrist strengthens the covenant with the fig tree generation and Jesus confirms the covenant He has with the believers.
