Samson at the Feast of Dagon
— The WTC-as-Temple-to-Dagon

Judges 16 gives us Samson: blinded, grinding in captivity, brought out to entertain the Philistines at a festival honoring Dagon.

Dagon was a god of grain, and in an era when Mediterranean sea trade meant everything, grain was the linchpin of the ancient global economy. It isn't unreasonable, then, to call the World Trade Center a temple to global trade in our own era. At the height of the festival, as the Philistines prepared their great sacrifice to their god, Samson pushed out the two supporting pillars and the temple collapsed on everyone inside. This is a picture of the rapture because Paul says the church is the pillar and base of the truth. Samson removing the two pillars is a type of Jesus removing the church in the rapture.

There's a striking historical parallel worth noting: the end of the Bronze Age saw a sweeping collapse of global trade networks across the Mediterranean. Something similar is proposed here for the rapture — the raptured saints pictured as the two pillars removed, followed by a complete collapse of global sea trade. This maps onto the judgment on "Great Babylon" in Revelation 18, occurring at the same time as the rapture.

There's a present-day echo in Gaza, currently reduced to rubble with plans underway to rebuild it as a shining new city — similar to Atlantic City. Compare this to September 11: the Twin Towers, looking like two great pillars, collapsed to rubble, and in their place the US rebuilt a gleaming new World Trade Center, deliberately built "better" (echoing Isaiah 9:10). Twenty-five years later, Gaza sits in the same position the WTC site once did — rubble, with rebuilding plans already announced. That is significant because Gaza was where Samson pushed out the two pillars.

September 11, 2026 falls on the Feast of Trumpets. Scripture tells us Christ is "the firstfruits, and afterward they that are Christ's at his coming" (1 Corinthians 15:20, 23) — and "at his coming" is read here as pointing directly to the Feast of Trumpets, the feast that announces the King's arrival. The events of 9/11, on this reading, function as a harbinger — a preview twenty-five years in advance — of the coming rapture. Jonathan Cahn has gone into great detail on the significance of 9/11 as a harbinger of God's judgment and a call to repent. The US didn't repent and 19 years later, according to the pattern in the Old Testament, Covid19 plague hit. After 911 a tree was damaged and the US replaced the sycomore tree with an Ezret tree (conifer tree) called "the hope tree". That tree withered and died and has since been removed.

911 and the collapse of the twin towers reminds us of Samson pushing out the two pillars and causing the temple to global trade to collapse.

In the parable of the ten virgins there is a midnight cry saying "behold, the bridegroom cometh". This relates directly to the Feast of Trumpets. There are seven feasts of the Lord, one of the seven is the Feast of Trumpets which literally is the Day of shouting. This shouting begins in the night. Two witnesses will see the new moon, they report it to the Sanhedrin, the Sanhedrin certify it, and then everyone begins to shout that the King is coming. The shouting will begin in the night. Ten is not a complete number of the disciples, it should be 12. We have 12 apostles, 12 tribes, and 12 gates to the New Jerusalem. But if we add two witnesses who have spotted the new moon as watchmen who are now waking up the other ten disciples we now have a complete set of believers, disciples, etc.

So then

1. The midnight cry

2. Saying the bridegroom cometh

and

3. 2 witnesses on Feast of Trumpets completing the ten virgins and making it 12,

All three point to the Feast of Trumpets. But that is not all.

4. During the feast of trumpets the sun is in Virgo, the virgin.

5. The parable concludes with Jesus saying "No one knows the day or hour" a nickname for the Feast of Trumpets.

6. On the feast of trumpets the gate is opened to heaven and on the eve of Yom Kippur it is closed. When the foolish virgins return the gate is closed, after having been opened. Therefore we know this took place during the days of Awe which begin with the Feast of Trumpets and ends nine days later.

But this raises a question, if you know the year and you know that this is referring to the Feast of Trumpets then how is it that Jesus said "no one knows the day and hour". The fact is when Jesus said that we did not know the year.

1. We start the count in 1541 (Actually 1543). So in 30-32 AD we didn't know when that would be.
2. A second timer starts in 2014
3. A third timer starts in 2017
4. A fourth timer starts in 2024
and
5. In 2001 we have a harbinger of judgment and yet we could still have repented at that time.

So in reality we did not know the year when Jesus was talking and therefore we did not know the day or hour. But Jesus was clearly referring to the Feast of Trumpets in the parable of the ten virgins.

This does not mean that the rapture is on the Feast of Trumpets, do not infer or twist what I am saying to mean that. I do not believe this parable says that. What I do believe is that the midnight cry takes place on the feast of Trumpets, and I believe the midnight cry takes place because Israel dedicates the altar on the temple mount and resumes oblations and sacrifices. The dedication of the altar is supposed to take place on Rosh Hashanah. The ceremony would begin at 6am and conclude at 9am in Jerusalem, which is midnight in the USA. How would Christians respond if they heard Israel had resumed oblations and sacrifices on the Temple Mount on Rosh Hashanah? They would cry out "The Bridegroom cometh".

As for the rapture I believe that takes place sometime after the midnight cry but before sunset on the eve of Yom Kippur. Since many interpret "the twinkling of the eye" to be sunset I think the 7th of Tishrei is as good a possibility as any of the first nine days of Tishrei.
 
You have been warned

You can overlay Passover week onto Yom Kippur and the days of awe. When Jesus was tried they chose Barabbas to go free as "the scape goat" and Jesus was the "goat" chosen to die for the people's sins. The trial and crucifixion on good Friday tracks with Yom Kippur. That means that Palm Sunday would be Tishrei 5. Jesus eating with Mary, Martha and Lazarus would be Tishrei 4. The collapse of the money changers would be Tishrei 6. Perhaps Lazarus being raised from the dead is Tishrei 1.

Many have said that Mary and Martha would have been unclean for a week after having handled a dead body. But Lazarus was in the grave for four days. That means they only have to wait three days after Lazarus is raised. Those could be the "three days of darkness".

One theory I have had is that everyone has to go through death once, after that the judgment. The raptured saints are those who "were crucified with Christ" and they are already "dead in Christ". They don't need to go through the whole process again. In this theory Lazarus is raised before Nisan 1, or in the overlay before Tishrei 1.

That would mean the midnight cry was in 2017, the Revelation 12 sign and all the subsequent signs. That would also mean there is no midnight cry on this Feast of Trumpets, rather there is the "Lord coming as a thief" and the ones who wake up on this day waking up to realize they have been robbed of their inheritance.

There are plausible theories, and this to me is what the Lord meant by "no one knows the day or the hour". Because when the Lord said that the point was "you have to watch". We didn't learn when the Lord was coming until we saw the prophecies fulfilled. When Israel returned in 1948 we knew that was a key sign and soon most equated that with "this generation shall not pass away until all these things shall be fulfilled". When the Berlin wall came down and everyone was cheering we equated that to "when they say Peace and Security then sudden destruction comes". When the first Gulf war took place and we were seeing CNN show us footage live from the Middle East we equated that with "the lightning flashing in the East and shining unto the West, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be". When 911 took place we equated that with the harbinger of destruction on the Great Babylon coming in one hour. But it wasn't until 2014 when we saw two calves born with the number seven on their skull that we got our first countdown to 2026. Then the Revelation 2017 sign was our second countdown to 2026. The Pandemic was our third countdown to 2026. The writing on the wall sign was our fourth countdown to 2026. The sun being darkened and the moon turned to blood was a fifth confirmation. Then Krakatoa and nine other volcanoes exploding, two sending ash into the stratosphere is a sixth confirmation.

Joel 1:15 Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.


This is the first witness that the day of the Lord is at hand, it is a bug designed in a bioweapons lab, a Frankenstein bug, designed to shut down the global economy. We saw this and had a feeling it could be bad in the fall of 2019.

Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

This is your second witness and refers to Feast of Trumpets in 2020. The Feast of Trumpets is a two day event since the first day is considered "the hidden day".

The description in Joel is of a global shutdown of traffic and trade as a result of a bug. That is what had never happened before in human history. Yes, we have had quarantines of parts of cities, but never anything this global and this universal. In fact prior to air travel and radio we never would have had this global response. So we don't have to go examining ancient records on this question. The prophet Joel tells us that this event takes place "right next door" to the Day of the Lord. The day of the Lord is the 70th week. That is a seven year period that begins on Rosh Hashanah. The bug first escaped the lab in Wuhan in the Fall of 2019, and by March of 2020 NYC was shutting down the school system and by the Feast of Trumpets in 2020 Israel was too. So then this week of years, the 69th week, the one that is right next door to the 70th week begins with this warning. The Feast of Trumpets is called "the longest day" because it is a two day event. From Rosh Hashanah in 2019 to Rosh Hashanah in 2021 is the equivalent with the Pandemic being a two year event and vaccine mandates being given on Rosh Hashanah of 2021.

This gives us another countdown prophecy that converges with Feast of Trumpets in 2026.

The coronation of Solomon, who typifies Jesus Christ is His heavenly ministry, (David signified Jesus in His earthly ministry), was on the feast of trumpets. Now there was a very interesting event taking place at the same time. Adonijah, also a son of David was holding a big banquet with all the leaders of the nation, setting the stage to declare himself King. There were a few notable people not invited to this banquet, they all signify the Evangelical Christians.

Now it just so happens that Isaac Herzog, the President of Israel and a man who claims he is descended from King David, this man is holding a conference on the Noahide laws. This conference is convening extremely close to Gihon Spring which is where Solomon was crowned king. The Noahide laws are a covenant that was already made by God with Noah. The purpose of this conference is to confirm or strengthen these laws to outlaw the preaching of Jesus Christ as king. It is an attempt to usurp Jesus Christ as king and so is remarkably similar to what Adonijah was doing. His banquet was held by a spring and Solomon was crowned at the Gihon Spring, a different spring that was higher up the mountain but lower than where King David lived. It gives us a picture of Jesus Christ descending on the clouds and calling the raptured saints up to Him. Well now this Noahide convention is being held nearby the Gihon spring and also has the motive of usurping Jesus Christ as king. Only this time Jesus will be in the clouds calling the raptured saints up to Him there, and not to this "Gihon spring".

This also corresponds with Daniel which says "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." Now notice this doesn't say a specific number of days or months, but rather a more general "one week" meaning "one Shemitah" or one seven year period. A seven year period begins on Rosh Hashanah. It seems that on Rosh Hashanah we will see the oblations and sacrifices resume, indicating the covenant has been confirmed (strengthened) for a seven year period. However, that strengthening will include the Antichrist regime and outlawing the gospel of Jesus Christ. We should not assume everything happens on day 1. But all these things would have to happen in the first year of the seven year period.

9 11 And The Shofar Star by hourly watch
 
Convergence with 9/11/2026 Feast of Trumpets (part 9)

There are several shadows of the rapture and they all depict a large gathering, celebration, Holy day, or festival. But this is from different angles looking at different groups of people.

1. Samson pushing out the pillars was during a festival for Dagon, the god of commercial trade.

2. Moses breaking the ten commandments and calling the tribe of Levi up to him was during a Pagan festival to Baal that thousands of people who were part of the mixed multitude that left Egypt were participating in.

3. Adonijah has a banquet for all the leaders of Israel at the same time Solomon was crowned, which was on Feast of Trumpets.

4. Elijah gathers all of Israel to him on Mount Carmel when he calls fire down at the evening sacrifice.

and

5. Esther has two banquets for the king on two consecutive days, and Haman's coup is revealed on the second day.

Now what is interesting is that in all five of these cases those involved in idolatry and rebellion against God are revealed and killed.

1. When Samson pushes out the two pillars about 3,000 die.
2. When Moses breaks the ten commandments about 3,000 die.
3. When Adonijah tries to usurp the throne he at first is put on probation but killed later when he asks for Abishag as wife.
4. When Haman is revealed in his coup he his hung on the gallows he had built.

These are Philistines who were not Israelis, pagan worshippers mingled with the Israelis, Jewish leaders rebelling against the true king, and wicked people planning a genocide.

This is why Paul says "the apostasy must come first". These rebellious, idolatrous, wicked people must be caught in the act.

Now September 10th is the anniversary of Charlie Kirk's murder and September 11th is the anniversary of 911. A banquet is a "sacrifice". 911 was the sacrifice of about 3,000 people and September 10th was the sacrifice of one person.

It may be that these two events, 911 and Charlie Kirk's assassination are pointing to very deep and evil plots behind the scenes by pagan worshippers, people who have infiltrated our government and are planning a genocide on the people of God.

We are also told this as well that after the restrainer is taken away then the man of lawlessness is revealed.

Now there is a fifth example as well.

5. Elijah calling down fire on Mount Carmel followed by the killing of 450 false prophets of Baal.

This event is very similar to Moses coming down the mountain. The fire falls on the top of the mountain, and then they descend to the brook Kidron where the 450 prophets of Baal are killed. Moses does not come all the way down to the level of those involved in the pagan worship, he calls the Levites up to him. Jesus descends in the clouds and calls the raptured saints up to Him.

The weird thing about this event must be explained. Elijah has a very clear rapture experience, and he is not on Mount Carmel. Instead of fire falling, he is caught up in the whirlwind. So how can this experience also be a shadow of the rapture? My interpretation is this: after Elijah is caught up Elisha takes up the mantle of Elijah. This event depicts both Elijah's ministry and Elisha's. Because Elisha is wearing the mantle of Elijah it is still the ministry of Elijah. For example, the New Testament ministry is the fellowship of the apostles. We have taken up the mantle of the 12 apostles. It isn't a new or different ministry it is the same. And after the false prophets are killed at the time of the rapture the tribulation saints must flee into the wilderness. So I view what takes place on Mount Carmel as a picture of the New Testament ministry with the Apostles and then the rest of the New Testament saints wearing that same mantle. The apostles warned those in Jerusalem of the coming destruction and then when it happened the saints were scattered to the wilderness. That is how the church age began. Then during the church age the New Testament ministry has warned of the coming destruction during the Day of the Lord and that begins with the rapture. When that happens the believers who are left behind are scattered to the wilderness.
 

The End Will be EXACTLY Like This: Noah's Blueprint of Our Last Days​

 
Convergence with 9/11/2026 Feast of Trumpets (part 10)

Wow! This is a major revelation!

The Baptism of Jesus took place on Rosh Hashanah. Now I know the basis for people to think it took place around Elul 1 a month earlier. It is because after having been in the wilderness fasting and being tempted He then goes into the temple, reads something about the Jubilee year and says that "Luke 4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears." The thought is that He said this on Yom Kippur of a Jubilee year, which is when you are to declare the year of the Jubilee.

But that I believe ignores many other issues.

1. A priest begins his priestly service when He turns 30. Jesus had to have been 30 when He was baptized. The overwhelming evidence is that He was born on the Feast of Trumpets, He was conceived 9 months earlier on Hanukkah, and He was circumcised the 8th day on Yom Kippur with His blood going on the altar. Mary going into labor on Feast of Trumpets and not giving birth until the start of the third day gives new meaning to the Feast of Trumpets being called "the longest day". It also gives new meaning to the term "no one knows the day or hour" because that is true of pregnant women not knowing the day or hour they will give birth.

The point is that He would not have turned 30 until the Feast of Trumpets. If He was baptized a month earlier He wasn't 30 and if He had turned 30 a year earlier He died when He was 34. Also, there are 7 Feasts of the Lord. It would be incredible to me if His birthday is not one of those feasts. We have the day of His death, the day of His resurrection and the day of His ascension, as three of the feasts of the Lord.

2. When He was baptized "the heavens opened". According to rabbinic tradition the heavens open on Feast of Trumpets.

3. When a priest is consecrated to be a priest the first step is to come to the tent of meeting and to be washed thoroughly with water. That is what John the Baptist did when He baptized Him.

4. They are then anointed with oil. The oil signifies the Holy Spirit. In this baptism the Holy Spirit descended upon Him as a dove.

5. The priest is sanctified for a period of seven days at the tent of meeting and there are many offerings made.

I believe this is what happened to Jesus when He was led out into the wilderness to fast for forty days. Consider this, on Yom Kippur which would have been seven days later one of the goats, the scapegoat is led out into the wilderness. The forty days in the wilderness by Jesus was similar to Him being the scapegoat (we know when He gets crucified that Barabbas is in the role of the scapegoat). So Jesus is both the goat that is sacrificed and the goat who is the scapegoat.

Then He returns and what does He say "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears." This is why everyone was stunned. No one would have thought twice if He had read that on Yom Kippur, but after having gone into the wilderness for forty days as the scapegoat and then returning and saying "this scripture has been fulfilled" that is something very different. Jesus said the scriptures talk about Him. He understood that His earthly ministry required Him to be "the scapegoat". If the Baptism of Jesus foreshadows the rapture, then for those left behind in the tribulation it will be the beginning. It will start with them fleeing into the wilderness like Elijah, or like the woman after giving birth to the man child. They will be tempted of Satan, but once they stand strong they will be ready to minister.

Consider the parallel with Jesus ascension. He tells the disciples to remain in Jerusalem until they are empowered by the Spirit. That is a period of 50 days until Pentecost is fully come. That is similar to the priests staying by the tent of meeting for seven days and then experiencing 40 days of fasting and praying, and then preparing for Pentecost.

This changes our understanding of the rapture. The raptured saints are those who are consecrated to be priests while the tribulation saints are those who were apprentices like Elisha and get consecrated to be a priest at the rapture.

The Feast of new oil according to the Bible is 50 days after the feast of new wine. My understanding based on the Bible is that the Feast of New wine is the real Pentecost which was 50 days after Jesus ascended. If you notice, it converges with the Feast of Trumpets.

2. The Biblical Feast of New Oil (First Fruits of New Oil)
If you are referring to the Hebraic/Torah-based calendar or the historical Temple calendar traditions celebrating the harvest of grain, wine, and oil, it falls much later in the year. [1, 2]

    • Observed Date: Sunday, September 13, 2026.
    • Significance: This aligns with the historical Yizhar (New Oil) festival, marking when the first pressings of the autumn olive harvest are dedicated and blessed. [1]

The Feast of Trumpets is a two day event, it begins at sunset on September 11 and goes to sunset on September 13th. I have already shared that the parable of the ten virgins has six points of correlation pointing to the Feast of Trumpets. The seventh point is when they tell those without oil to go and buy from those that sell.

We have this somewhat ridiculous interpretation concerning the foolish virgins that they never had any oil. Since we don't use torches or oil lamps anymore let's use a more modern example. Suppose instead of torches the ten virgins had cars and they were going to lead the parade in their cars, but five of the cars were out of gas. No one would assume that the cars never had gas. This is an agricultural community at a time when there was no global network of trade. When the new oil is in season you buy it and you buy enough for the whole year. Obviously, by the time the oil season comes around again next year you might be at the very bottom of your supply or even running out. For example, with a car you would have a routine. Perhaps you buy gas once a week and it lasts the whole week. So Friday you may be near empty on the gas tank, but Saturday you will go and buy more. Well if the midnight cry is on September 12th, then you are at the very last day of the year for your oil supply, which would explain why the foolish virgins have run out of oil and it would also explain why the wise virgins would say they can't loan any oil because there might not be enough for both of them. That statement indicates that they too are at the bottom of their supply, even though they do have enough for themselves. They then say "go to those who sell". This indicates it must be at the time that both you are at the end of your supply and also the time when they sell. Hence, the second day of the Feast of Trumpets.
 
The Feast of Trumpets begins tonight. It is a "memorial". What does that mean? Well, yesterday we had a memorial, the 1 year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's assassination. And today we have a memorial, the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Well the Feast of Trumpets is a two day memorial in which we are declaring that Jesus is coming.
 

The Days of Awe & The Tribulation​

She points out something very interesting, Feast of Trumpets is two days, followed by seven days of Awe for repentance in which the goal is to have your name inscribed in the book of live. When these seven days are over the books are closed, what is done is done, and you come to the day of judgment.

The point is that those seven days of Awe depict the seven year "tribulation" whose goal is for people to repent. Following that you have the "day of judgement".

So I had this idea. Those seven days are a "week". The Bible would call that "the seventieth week". Now many have looked at the decrees by Suleiman as the start date and counted 483 years from the completion of that wall to arrive at 2026.

But I thought, what happened 483 days before Septermber 13th/14th -- with that 70th week beginning on that day?

On Sunday, May 18, 2025, a major diplomatic clash over uranium enrichment took place between the United States and Iran, occurring alongside heightened Israeli military preparations that set the stage for open warfare the following month. [1, 2, 3]
The day's events highlighted a stark diplomatic impasse and regional maneuvers to avert a conflict:
    • The U.S. "Red Line" Announcement: U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff stated during an interview on ABC's This Week program that the Trump administration held a strict "red line" regarding nuclear negotiations. Witkoff asserted that the U.S. would not allow Iran to maintain even a 1% enrichment capability because enrichment directly enables nuclear weaponization. [1, 2]
    • Iran's Swift Defiance: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi immediately rejected the American condition. Araqchi countered on social media and through Iran's semi-official Tasnim News Agency that uranium enrichment would continue "with or without a deal," calling the U.S. position unrealistic. [1, 2]
    • Mediators Pressure Tehran: Concurrently, the foreign ministers of Qatar and Oman traveled to Tehran to meet with Araqchi. According to diplomatic observers, the meetings served as a U.S.-backed effort to pressure Iranian leadership into softening its stance on nuclear enrichment to prevent an impending military escalation. [1, 2]
    • The Broader Israeli-Iranian Context: These tense negotiations took place under a ticking clock, following a letter from U.S. President Donald Trump that imposed a 60-day deadline for diplomacy. At the same time, intelligence reports indicated that Israel was actively finalizing plans to strike Iran's nuclear infrastructure. [1, 2]
The complete breakdown of these May 18 talks ultimately led directly to the outbreak of the Twelve-Day War in June 2025, during which Israel and the U.S. launched major airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities
 
Psalm 119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.

148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O Lord, quicken me according to thy judgment.

150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

151 Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth.

152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.

154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
 

The End Will be EXACTLY Like This: Noah's Blueprint of Our Last Days​


His focus in this message is on genetic changes that have taken place over the last 120 years.

Since 1906, the field of biology has transitioned from observing traits to directly editing the code of life. Here is the chronological progression of the most significant biogenetic advances over the last 120 years, grouped by their breakthrough eras.

🧬 The Foundational Era (1900s–1940s)

  • Rediscovery of Mendel’s Laws (1900s): While Gregor Mendel conducted his pea plant experiments in the 1860s, his laws of heredity were widely rediscovered and accepted around 1900, establishing the foundation of modern genetics.
  • Coining the "Gene" (1909): Danish botanist Wilhelm Johannsen coined the terms "gene," "genotype," and "phenotype" to describe the units of heredity and their physical expressions.
  • The Chromosome Theory (1910s): Thomas Hunt Morgan proved that genes are located on chromosomes by studying mutations in fruit flies.
  • DNA Identified as the Hereditary Material (1944): The Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment proved that DNA, not protein, is the molecule responsible for transferring genetic information.

🗺️ Cracking the Code & Cloning (1950s–1990s)

  • The Double Helix (1953): James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins, and Rosalind Franklin solved the structural puzzle of DNA, revealing its double-helix shape and explaining how it replicates.
  • Recombinant DNA Technology (1973): Scientists created the first genetically modified organism (GMO) by inserting a gene from one bacterium into another, marking the birth of genetic engineering.
  • First IVF Baby (1978): Louise Brown was born via In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), revolutionizing reproductive medicine and embryo screening.
  • Dolly the Sheep (1996): Dolly became the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell, proving that a specialized cell could be reprogrammed back into an embryo.

💻 The Genomic Revolution (2000s–2010s)

  • The Human Genome Project (2003): An international coalition of scientists successfully mapped the entire human genetic blueprint, identifying roughly 20,000–25,000 human genes.
  • Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): In the mid-2000s, sequencing technology advanced exponentially. The cost to sequence a human genome plummeted from $100 million in 2001 to under $1,000 today, making personalized medicine viable.
  • The CRISPR-Cas9 Breakthrough (2012): Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier adapted a bacterial defense mechanism into a precise molecular "scissors" tool, allowing scientists to edit DNA with unprecedented accuracy and ease.

⚡ The Modern Era of Synthetic Biology & Medicine (2020s)

  • mRNA Technology (2020): Decades of genetic research culminated in the rapid deployment of mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic, proving that genetic instructions could be safely delivered to human cells to fight disease.
  • First Approved CRISPR Cure (2023): Regulators approved Casgevy, the world's first CRISPR gene-editing treatment, designed to cure sickle cell disease by permanently correcting the patient's biological code.
  • AI-Driven Protein Folding (2020s): Tools like DeepMind's AlphaFold used artificial intelligence to predict the 3D structures of virtually all known proteins, hyper-accelerating drug discovery and biogenetic research.
The genetic modification of food, animals, and humans represents a continuum of control over biological life. While it began as a way to secure the food supply, it has evolved into a tool that transhumanists believe will allow humanity to bypass natural evolution and intentionally direct our own biological future.
Here is how genetic modification is transforming these three pillars, leading directly to the philosophy of transhumanism.



🌽 1. Food: Redesigning Agriculture
Genetic modification in food focuses primarily on efficiency, climate resilience, and nutrition. It acts as the proof-of-concept for altering living organisms at scale.

  • First-Generation GMOs: Introduced in the 1990s, crops like soy, corn, and cotton were modified to resist pests (using Bt genes) or tolerate weed-killers (like glyphosate).
  • Biofortification (Nutritional Enhancement): Scientists engineer food to solve global malnutrition. A prime example is Golden Rice, modified to produce Vitamin A to prevent blindness in developing nations.
  • Climate Adaptation: Current research leverages CRISPR to engineer crops that can survive extreme droughts, heatwaves, and high-salinity soils caused by climate change.

🐄 2. Animals: From Better Livestock to New Species
Genetic modification in animals blurs the line between traditional breeding and synthetic creation, moving from agricultural utility to medical utility.

  • Fast-Growing Livestock: The AquaAdvantage salmon, approved by regulators, contains a gene from another fish species that allows it to grow to market size twice as fast as wild salmon.
  • Xenotransplantation (Organ Harvesting): To solve the global organ shortage, scientists use CRISPR to genetically modify pigs so their organs (like hearts and kidneys) can be transplanted into humans without being rejected by the human immune system. Extensive clinical trials have accelerated significantly in the mid-2020s.
  • De-Extinction: Companies are actively using gene editing to splice preserved DNA from extinct species (like the Woolly Mammoth or the Dodo bird) into the genomes of their closest living relatives to bring them back.

🧬 3. Humans & Transhumanism: Taking Control of Evolution
When genetic modification is applied to humans, it ceases to be just medicine and becomes the foundation for Transhumanism—the intellectual movement that advocates for using advanced technology to enhance human physical, cognitive, and psychological capabilities beyond current biological limits.

Transhumanist applications of genetic modification are split into two categories:

Therapeutic vs. Enhancement Modification

  • Somatic Editing (Therapeutic): Altering genes in non-reproductive cells to cure existing diseases. This is reality today; CRISPR is used to cure sickle cell disease and certain types of blindness.
  • Germline Editing (Enhancement/Transhuman): Altering sperm, eggs, or embryos. These changes are permanent and passed down to future generations. Transhumanists view germline editing as the ultimate tool to engineer "designer babies" with optimized traits.

The Transhumanist Blueprint
Transhumanists view the human body as "software" that can be upgraded. They advocate using biogenetic advances to achieve:

  • Radical Life Extension: Eradicating the genetic markers for aging, allowing humans to live healthy lives far past 100 years.
  • Cognitive Enhancement: Splicing genes associated with high brain plasticity, memory retention, and focus to create hyper-intelligent humans.
  • Physical Optimization: Upgrading muscle density, oxygen-carrying capacity, and metabolic efficiency, effectively engineering humans to survive in extreme environments, including space colonization.





 
Convergence with 9/11/2026 Feast of Trumpets (part 12)

He takes 23 minutes to get to the key point, but the key point is big, very big!


The Sixth Seal: The Mystery of God: The Rapture & Rosh Hashanah​


The key point is this. In the book of 1 Corinthians Paul refers to Passover (1 Cor 5:7) and then to the Feast of Unleavened bread (1 Cor. 11:26). and then to the feast of first fruits (1 Cor. 15:20-23), and then to the Feast of Weeks (1 Corinthians 12:13), and then to the Feast of Trumpets (1 Cor. 15:51-55).

Paul is explaining how each of these feasts relate to the church and the Feast of Trumpets is when we are called up to meet the Lord in the clouds.
