Several things are becoming abundantly clear.

1. Our covenant tells us that the 4,000th year since Adam was when Jesus was 20 (AD 17), the proper age to join the military.

2. The 6,000th year was 2017

3. The Balfour declaration was in 1917, Jerusalem was returned to the Jews in 1967, and in 2017 Trump declared that Jerusalem belongs to the Jews. Those were all Jubilee years.

4. The Covenant spells out to the year how long Israel will be punished.

5. According to the prophesies the Messianic 1,000 years began in 2017 with that jubilee.

6. It seems that the tribulation began at the Feast of Trumpets in 2022.

7. It also seems that the 70th week begins Nisan 1 of 2023. This is a seven year period.

8. It also seems that Jesus returns on the cloud in great glory prior to May of 2029.

After that we will have Armageddon, and then the day of Atonement.

9. Jacob's trouble, a ten year period began with the Pandemic. Covid19 was first released at the time of the Feast of Trumpets in 2019 and it first hit the US and Israel at the time of Nisan 1 in 2020.

Now what is abundantly clear is that many, many timelines and interpretations have been erroneous, at least in part. So far we can still keep all the basic principles.

70th week is still seven years.

A generation is still 70-80 years.

However, the tribulation is not 7 years long and Jacob's trouble refers to a ten year period. However we only have about a month to go before we get to the 70th week based on this understanding.
 
Luke 22:40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

Luke is different from Mark and Matthew. In Luke this is to those who are watching and who have crucified the flesh with the passions and lusts. However, you still need to pray. I was taught from my earliest years as a Christian that you are to "pray read" the Bible. Every word in the Bible is a prayer. When you are praying you aren't asking for things, you are talking with God. So if you are reading God's word He is already talking to you. Open your ears and listening to God speak is prayer. Making the word that God speaks your own is prayer.

Mark 14:38 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

In Mark and Matthew it is to the tribulation saints and the Jews. For these ones they need to be reminded to both watch and pray and also that the flesh needs to be put to death. One of the most important lessons for new Christians is in Romans 8, the law of the Spirit of Life overcomes the law of sin and death. We have a scale, when we first got saved the scale was heavily weighted on the side of the flesh and sin and death. But we set our mind on the Spirit by singing, praising, reading, fellowshipping, praying, meeting and when we do this we are adding spirit to the other side of the scale. If we are totally focused on this job of setting the mind of the spirit our mind will become set on the Spirit. You can overwhelm the scale so that you are heavily weighted towards the Spirit of life. But you have to practice this every day. If you go to sleep for a day or two you will discover that your flesh has regained the edge.
 
The AntiChrist (part 2)

https://ccel.org/ccel/pink/antichrist/antichrist.chap13.html (I have edited this)

Pharaoh -- King of Egypt which, a symbol of the world. Second, the Pharaoh of Exodus came from Assyria (Isa. 52:4); so also will the Antichrist. Third, the merciless persecutor of the Hebrews, embittering their lives by hard bondage. Fourth, giving orders that all the male children should be slain in infancy. Fifth, he was the blatant defier of God. When Moses and Aaron appeared before him his arrogant reply was, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go?” (Ex. 5:1, 2). Sixth, God’s two witnesses performed miracles before Pharaoh (Ex. 7:10); so, too, will God’s two witnesses in the Tribulation period work miracles before the Beast (Rev. 11:6, 7). Seventh, Pharaoh had magical resources at his disposal (Ex. 7:11), as the Antichrist will have at his (2 Thess. 2:9). Eighth, Pharaoh made fair promises to the Hebrews, only to break them (Ex. 8:8, 15). In this, too, he foreshadowed the Antichrist in his perfidy and treachery toward Israel. Ninth, he met with a drastic end at the hands of God (Psa. 136:15). Tenth, he was overthrown at the time that Israel started out for the promised land: so Antichrist will be cast into the Lake of Fire just before Israel enters into everlasting possession of their promised inheritance.

Abimelech -- Abimelech signifies “father of the king.” Gideon, deliverer of Israel, was his father. But his mother was a concubine, and this name was given to him for the purpose of hiding the shame of his birth. Looking from the type to the antitype — “Father of the King” — all attention to the satanic origin of the Antichrist. Second, Abimelech slew seventy of his own brethren (Judges 9:5), and was therefore a bloody persecutor of Israel. Third, Judges 9:6, 22 tell us that he was “king over Israel.” Fourth, it is significant to note that he occupied the throne at the time of Israel’s apostasy (see Judges 8:33, 34). Fifth, it is also most suggestive that we are told he commenced his career at the stone (Judges 9:6), or pillar, which Joshua erected in Ebal (facing Gerizim), the mount where all the curses of a broken law were announced — Deut. 11:29; 27:4, 12, 13; Josh. 8:30. Sixth, he was a mighty warrior, a violent man (see Judges 9:40-50, and cf Psa. 140:1 for the Antichrist as such). Seventh, he was slain by the sword (Judges 9:54 and see Zech. 11:7; Rev. 13:3 for the antitype).

Saul -- Almost the first thing told us about Saul is that he was “from his shoulders and upward higher than any of the people” (1 Sam. 9:2, which is repeated in 10:23). As such he fitly prefigured the coming Super-man, who in intelligence, governmental power, and satanic might, will so tower above all his contemporaries that men shall exclaim, “Who is like unto the Beast?” (Rev. 13:4). Second, Saul was king of Israel (1 Sam. 10:24). Third, Saul was a priest-king, blatantly performing the office of the Levite (see 1 Sam. 13:9, and cf Ezek. 21:25, 26 R. V.). Fourth, the time of his reign was immediately before that of David, as that of the Antichrist will immediately precede that of David’s Son and Lord. Fifth, he was a mighty warrior (see 1 Sam. 11:11; 13:1-4; 15:4; 7:8). Sixth, he was a rebel against God (1 Sam. 15:11). Seventh, he hated David (1 Sam. 18:7, 8, 11; 26:2, etc.). Eighth, he slew the servants of God (1 Sam. 22:17, 18). Ninth, he had intercourse with the powers of evil (1 Sam. 29). Tenth, he died by the sword (1 Sam. 31:4).

Goliath -- First, his name means “Soothsayer” which at once connects him with the powers of evil. Second, he was a giant, and thus, like Saul, prefigured the Super-man. Third, he was the enemy of Israel. Fourth, his consuming egotism was displayed in his blatant challenge, “I defy the armies of Israel” (1 Sam. 17:10). Fifth, the mysterious number 666 (the number of the Antichrist) is connected with Goliath. Note the three sixes. (a) He was six cubits high (1 Sam. 17:4). (b) Six pieces of armour are enumerated — helmet, coat of mail, greaves, target, staff, and shield (1 Sam. 17:5-7). (c) His spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron (1 Sam. 17:7). Sixth, he was slain by the sword (see 1 Sam. 17:51). Seventh, he was slain by David — type of Christ.

Absalom -- First, “Absalom” means “father of peace.” Again and again, he posed as a man of peace, while war was in his heart. So the Antichrist will pose as the promised Prince of peace, and for a time it will appear that he has actually ushered in the Millennium. But ere long his violent and bloody character will be revealed. Second, Absalom was the son of David, and therefore a Jew. Third, Absalom was a son of David by Maacah, the daughter of the Gentile king of Jeshur (2 Sam. 3:3). So, too, will the Antichrist be a veritable king among men. Fifth, Absalom was a man of blood (2 Sam. 13, etc.). Sixth, Absalom sought to obtain the kingdom by flatteries (2 Sam. 15:2-6); cf Dan. 11:21, 23. Seventh, he cloaked his rebellion by a pretense of religion (read 2 Sam. 15:7, 8). Eighth, he was the immediate cause of the faithful followers of David being driven from Jerusalem into the wilderness (2 Sam. 15:14-16). Ninth, he reared up a pillar unto himself (2 Sam. 18:18), which clearly foreshadowed the image which the Antichrist will cause to be set up unto himself. Tenth, he met with a violent end (2 Sam. 18:14).
 
The AntiChrist (part 3)

https://ccel.org/ccel/pink/antichrist/antichrist.chap13.html

Herod -- Notice that three times over he is denominated “the king” (vv. 1, 3, 9), as such he prefigured the last great king, before the appearing of the King of kings. Second, observe his hypocrisy. When the “wise men,” who had followed the star which heralded the Saviour’s birth, were summoned into Herod’s presence, we are told that he said unto them, “Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found Him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship Him also” (v. 8). That nothing could have been further from his mind is plain from his subsequent acts. He first posed as a devout worshipper. Third, he threw off his religious mask and displayed his wicked heart: “Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem,” etc. (v. 16). Similarly will the Antichrist act in Jerusalem. Three and one half years before his end comes he will discard his religious pretensions and stand forth in his true character. Fourth, in this edict of slaying the young children in Bethlehem and the coasts thereof, he was aiming, of course, at Christ Himself. Thus did he accurately foreshadow that one who will yet fulfill the terms of Gen. 3:15, where we read of a double “enmity” — between Satan and the woman (Israel), and between her Seed (Christ) and the Serpent’s “seed” (the Antichrist). In the fifth place, we may also discover in Herod’s destruction of the children, a forecast of the fiendish assaults which the Antichrist will make upon the Jews, when he seeks to cut them off from being a nation. In the sixth place, we may note how the consequence of Herod’s cruelty will reappear in the future — “In Ramah was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not” (Matt. 2:18). This is a quotation from Jer. 31:15. But like most, if not all, prophecies, this will receive another and final fulfillment at the close of the Tribulation period. Our authority for this is found in the words which immediately follow in Jer. 31: “Thus saith the Lord, Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the Enemy. And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border.” Thus it is clear that “bitter weeping and lamentation” will again be heard in Ramah just before Christ returns and restores Israel. Seventh, the accuracy of the typical picture supplied by Matt. 2 may be discovered in the failure of Herod to destroy the Christ-child. Just as God foiled Herod, so will He yet bring to nought the wicked designs of the Antichrist; and just as we read of Christ coming and dwelling at Nazareth after the death of Herod, so Christ shall again dwell in that land after the death of the false King.
 
Can we see the rapture in these types and shadows of the AntiChrist?

Cain -- the dead in Christ will rise first and Abel depicts all those martyred who will rise.

Lamech -- Noah immediately follows Lamech so we see Christ and the church being saved out of the tribulation.

Nimrod -- Immediately precedes Abraham leaving the land of Babylon and going into the promised land. So we see the father of Faith entering the millenial reign after the Antichirst reign.

Chederlaomer -- Immediately precedes Melchizedek being revealed and Abraham fighting and destroying the armies of the Antichrist.

Pharaoh -- We see Moses, a type of Christ, marry one of seven daughters prior to returning to Egypt to rescue Israel.

Abimelech -- tries to kill all seventy sons but Jotham was saved. The tribulation saints, most will be beheaded.

Saul -- depicts how Jesus as David will be with God's people during the reign of the Antichrist.

Goliath -- depicts how Jesus will lead the saints to defeat the beast and the giants and the Nephilim.

Absalom -- depicts how Christ and the church will have to flee into the wilderness once the Antichrist is revealed and how one of his first acts will be to publicly humiliate and disgrace the apostate church.

Herod -- depicts how the virgin is in labor to bring forth a child, the dragon wants to devour the child and the child is caught up to heaven. The picture in Revelation 12.
 
Exclusive — Trump Slams Biden for Visiting Ukraine Before East Palestine: ‘Get Over Here’

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/...-ukraine-before-east-palestine-get-over-here/

23 And they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing-floors. 2 Therefore David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And Jehovah said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah. 3 And David’s men said unto him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines? 4 Then David inquired of Jehovah yet again. And Jehovah answered him, and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand. 5 And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and slew them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

Later we learn that several people from Keilah were with Nehemiah rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem.

Neh 3:17 After him repaired the Levites, Rehum the son of Bani. Next unto him repaired Hashabiah, the ruler of the half part of Keilah, in his part.

Neh 3:18 After him repaired their brethren, Bavai the son of Henadad, the ruler of the half part of Keilah.
 
Adar -- 12th month -- "Glorious"

Ezra 6:15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.

Interesting that It has been 6 years since Trump became President and there is a connection between him and Darius and Adar 3 which is tomorrow.

There are 9 references to the month Adar in the OT, 8 of them are in Esther.

8 signifies a new beginning and the day of the Lord which was the 8th day.

9 conveys the meaning of finality, "it is over". Galatians lists 9 items as the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

In Esther the 13th of Adar is when they are going to wipe out the Jews, however they joined together to fight, and then on the 14th day of Adar was a feast, a celebration. The idea of the rapture is that we get snatched out of the way of certain destruction. Also please note the 14th of Adar is a full moon, hence "the appointed day". The 14th of Adar is March 7, 2023, a Tuesday.
 
Coincidentally, February 27th, which is Adar 6, the world signs their sovereignty over to W.H.O to handle the next pandemic. Is this the gallows that Haman has constructed?
 
Gideon's army -- like dogs

Judges 7:5 So Gideon took the men down to the water. There the Lord told him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues as a dog laps from those who kneel down to drink.” 6 Three hundred of them drank from cupped hands, lapping like dogs. All the rest got down on their knees to drink.

I have wondered a lot about this verse and have no great insight into the meaning of lapping water like a dog, however, I have come to have a new appreciation for what it means to be like a dog. When I moved from NY to South Dakota. I have two dogs and they realized something was up as for several weeks we cleaned out the house and also drove back and forth to South Dakota. Once we came back to South Dakota the second time the whole family was living out of a Hotel room. The dogs know something is up, no complaints from them, but what I noticed is they are completely focused on me. If I stand up, they stand up. If I go to the front door they go to the front door. This could be at 3am, doesn't matter. I think this is the attitude of Gideon's army. We know something is up, we know the Lord is on the move, we are simply focused on Him, don't want to be left behind by Him. We aren't worried about the move, we trust the Lord and we know that as long as we are by His side we'll be just fine.
 
Lord Jesus, these shepherds are worthless shepherds. Lord I pray you would look on East Palestine, Ohio. We still do not know who authorized the release of these deadly and toxic chemicals. No one will take responsibility so we bring this to you, the Lord of all, the king of kings. Lord Jesus these leaders deal treacherously with the people. They put illegal immigrants up in hotels but will not help these people move to a place that is safe for their family. These worthless shepherds treat the people as their enemies. The people of this town are in affliction, they have now been made bankrupt, become servants. Lord Jesus, we feel that evil has been determined against us and yet we cannot be one as a nation to stand against it? Lord Jesus we come to you, on our knees, we feel we have been snared by evil, wicked and worthless men. These ones they sow discord continually. How could they have devised such evil and yet the evidence is mounting that this was planned. Lord Jesus you know the hearts. Search them, if there is perverseness we pray that their calamity would come suddenly, as they have done, may it be done unto them. If someone did indeed plan out this catastrophe we pray they would be broken and without remedy. Lord Jesus, they are haughty! They lie. Their hands shed innocent blood. They have a heart that devises wicked purposes and their feet are swift in running to mischief. Our president is more interested in starting WWIII than helping the people of this country. They were false witnesses, blaming the fire chief of the town, uttering lies. And then when Trump goes there to help the media is filled with ugly accusations, sowing discord.

So Lord Jesus, we bring this before you, may you judge according to the covenant you made with Noah and which they are violating.

In the mighty and preeminent name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
