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:
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!

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:
- Pray and repent of your sins now before the 3 days of darkness comes. No one is promised a tomorrow unless God gives it.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.)
- 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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pray about purchasing a fire extinguisher where candles might be in use.
- Pray in Jesus Christ's name for which preparations He would lead you to do and any others that may not be written here.
- 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.
- 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!
Vicki Goforth Parnell 2-28-24 updated 4-16-24
When I was a new Christian I heard the doctrine that Israel has to rebuild the temple. I thought that would be the fire alarm, you see them rebuilding the temple you know the day of the Lord is here. But I never saw any verse in the Bible that says they must rebuild the temple or that they would. There are some Greek words that are mistranslated as temple, the word is actually the word for the Holy place which includes the Holy of Holies. Yes, that would be inside the temple if you rebuilt the temple, but it would also be inside the tabernacle if you were to raise the tabernacle again. That is not irrelevant because there is a prophecy that Israel is going to raise the tabernacle of David again. The second reason people use for Israel needing to rebuild the temple is that they have resumed the oblations and sacrifices. I heard an interview with a Rabbi who is considered to be an authoritative voice on this topic in Israel and he said they don't need the temple to resume oblations and sacrifices. All they need is an altar on the temple mount and the way he described it that altar would be a pile of stones that could be built in a single hour given enough strong men to carry up the stones.
Therefore beware of doctrines that give you a false sense of security that until we see this the Lord will not return. The Jews could restart the oblations and sacrifices the same week as the rapture without any prior notice.

Asignificant step was recently taken towards reinstating the Temple service when the nascent Sanhedrin selected Rabbi Baruch Kahane as the next Kohen Gadol (high priest). The selection was made as a precaution for Yom Kippur. If the political conditions should change,
Therefore beware of doctrines that give you a false sense of security that until we see this the Lord will not return. The Jews could restart the oblations and sacrifices the same week as the rapture without any prior notice.

Sanhedrin Appoints High Priest in Preparation for Third Temple

There is a tremendous amount of prophetic verses indicating that the millennial kingdom is the seventh day, and the first six days are six thousand years. Now there is a lot of debate over when Jesus was crucified on the cross. However, we do know that it is between 30AD and 33AD. In Hosea we are told that the Lord will enliven Israel at the end of the second day from when He left (ascension day, the same year He was crucified) and He will lift them up on the third day. Therefore, I feel the last possible day that is still the 2nd day after He left is the Spring of 2033 (however I feel the evidence is compelling that He was crucified in 32 AD). That is one prophecy that puts a time limit on when the Day of the Lord is, the last seven years described in Revelation prior to the millennial kingdom. Another prophecy is Jesus saying that the Fig tree sprouting is a big sign and that this generation will be no means pass away until all these things take place (the things described in Matt 24, it includes everything up to but not including Armageddon). Psalm 90 says a generation is 70 years, 80 if you are strong (obstinate, rebellious). On Israel's 70th birthday the US moved their embassy to Jerusalem. So I think it is fair to begin the count on May 14, 1948. Moses was counting in decades so technically 70 = 65 --> 74 and 80 = 75 -->84. By the way Jacob was 84 when he married Rachel and Leah. Also, Israel was 75 when Hamas attacked in 2023 so that is a second support for us to count from 1948. The fig tree is first mentioned when Adam and Eve fell, it is associated with the fall of man and it is not the national tree of Israel. So it could also refer to all human government. The UN was formed in 1945 and 75 years later was 2020 when the WHO declared that we had a worldwide Pandemic. The UN will be 84 in 2029 and according to the book of Revelation the UN one world government gets replaced with the Antichrist reign at some point, likely the middle of the seven year period described in Revelation. As a result you can look at this fig tree prophecy and see it referring to both Israel and the UN and in both cases it is pointing to 2032 as the last year of the seven year period described in Revelation.
So then will they rebuild Babylon in this timeframe? Will they rebuild it in perilous times as it seems certain this war with Iran will heat up in the next few days or months and will fulfill the prophecy about God breaking Elam's bow.

Whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head
We are responsible to sound the warning, what people do with it is up to them. It is crystal clear that some people, granted a minority, but some are taking action to brace themselves. When the collapse comes the people will seek out those who should have warned them and didn't and they will suffer their wrath.
Ukraine is a good example. I was sounding the alarm in December before Russia attacked. At that time it would have been easy for anyone in Ukraine to move to the Western part of the country or even go into Poland or some other neighbor. After Russia attacked in January of 2022 it wasn't so easy, and soon young men were being conscripted on the streets (basically kidnapped) and used as cannon fodder. Or you can think of WW2. There was plenty of warning that should have alarmed the Jews. But they had good jobs, they were respected members of the community, they could not imagine what was about to come upon them and if you told them they would have treated you as a raving lunatic. Well it was easy to get out of Germany as a Jew when Hitler was first elected, but most people waited until there was no chance to leave.
I have also seen this in my own experience preaching the gospel. The Lord was urging me to warn people they could die tomorrow, I chose not to, and that was to my shame. Not going to make that mistake again.
Ezekiel 33:2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

The best attack anyone has made on this blog is to point out that our treasure is in heaven, and we should not be anxious in anything. I agree 100%. I did not start this blog because I was anxious or because I was concerned about war, the US economy or a pandemic.
I started it because of the book of Joel. According to that book I understood the Pandemic in 2020 as being the event that is "right next door" to the day of the Lord. The term in Joel is "the Day of the Lord is at hand" but that word for at hand means "next door". Based on that when Fauci was evasive, he obfuscated and prevaricated, I didn't need to know why, I decided whatever it was I don't trust him and so I do not trust the vaccine. That was four years ago and we still don't have conclusive proof, but there are 800 million people missing in China and they all were required to get every single shot and booster they had to give. My attitude was I will wait ten years to see if this thing is truly safe and in the meantime I am thankful so many people are willing to be guinea pigs in this experiment. But to not trust Fauci is one thing, it required that my wife and I both leave our jobs, sell our house and move.
But I understood that if the Pandemic was a sign from the Lord that the day of the Lord is at hand, then don't trust liars. We were inundated with fake news and gaslighting. In 2021 when I saw Russia massing on the border I figured this is Gog and Magog, this is not simply a drill, it is not a bluff, now it is time to pack up and get out of there if you live in Ukraine.
This is why I started this thread. I also realized if the Day of the Lord was at hand in 2020 then that means that famine was at hand. I wanted to start a journal of all the evidence that this was taking place. There are four horsemen of the Apocalypse:
1. White horse -- a counterfeit gospel, this is the fake news, the gaslighting.
2. Red horse -- this is war, we see this in Ukraine, we see this in the Mideast and no reason to think we won't see this in Taiwan as well.
3. Black horse -- Famine, and more appropriately a great depression where one days wages is simply enough to feed you for one day. That is not the case in the US, but I have been looking at the canary in the coal mine. We cry about 6% inflation, in Iran it is 45%. Turkey is also being hit hard. We cry about 20,000 people being laid off by UPS, in China one company left and 3 million lost their jobs. People say this has happened before, but they are not looking at the whole picture. Yes, if you simply look at data for the US it has happened before, but at that time China was a powerful engine to the world's economy. Never have we seen the worldwide catastrophe we are seeing now.
4. Pale green horse -- Plague. Likewise I started this thread on "walking Pneumonia" because I do expect that they will bring back the hits. I cannot prove this, but the evidence is quite compelling that the vaccine and the boosters weakened the immunes system opening you up to all kinds of future plagues. This could explain the 800 million Chinese that the W.H.O. has referenced.
This is scientific. If the naysayers and scoffers and mockers are right we would not see any of this. Russia would not have invaded, by now the economy would be taking off, and the evidence would clearly point to the vaccine having helped and not hurt. But because we do see all these things it proves that the global pandemic and shutdown is what Joel was saying would be the sign right next door to the day of the Lord.
If Jesus saying that this generation shall in no wise pass away until all these things take place was already fulfilled and did not refer to today then the US would not have put our embassy in Jerusalem on the 70th birthday of Israel, and Hamas would not have attacked after Israel turned 75. These signs are confirmations that this prophecy is still in effect.

Iyar -- I am the God thy healer
The first time we hear God say that I am the God thy healer is in the month Iyar in Exodus. The Israelites came to the waters of Meribah that were bitter, they couldn't drink the water, and God told them to cast the tree into the water and they became sweet. This is a picture of the tribulation saints fleeing into the wilderness. The first issue you will have will be with drinkable water. There is a fascinating solution to coming to stagnant, fetid pools of water that would make you sick. If you take a vine and use it as a cork in a bottle of this filthy water, hang the bottle upside down, the water will drip out of the bottle through that cork clean and pure. The only condition is that you place that vine so that the water would be running as it normally would from the roots to the leaves.
So then what does Iyar tell us about when the rapture will be? The rapture is God reaping His field and taking the firstfruits. They are taken so that the whole harvest can be blessed. The whole harvest refers to the rest of the people of God who are left behind, the tribulation saints. That first offering, that "pre tribulation" rapture takes place after the first harvest and that marks the middle of the first month. Two weeks later you are in the second month and already the people of God need the God thy healer. This phrase in Hebrew, if you take the acronym for the phrase "I am God thy healer" you get Iyar.
This also clears up the issue with the calendar. Every single believer should have gone through this experience. The waters in the world are fetid and foul. You can't drink them without getting sick. If you are drinking the waters in the world oblivious to them making you sick then you haven't properly gone through the month of Aviv, the month of ears of grain. The people who are raptured are on a different timeline from those who are left behind. They went through the full twelve months and were matured. Those who were left behind have not yet gone through the full twelve months. How can you be raptured if you don't know God as your healer?
Paul said that the things that happened to the Israelites were for our example and he said that they were a shadow of things to come. The waters of Meribah are a shadow of your experience when you first flee into the wilderness. This will become real to the tribulation saints right after the rapture. But how did it become real to all the believers in the church age? Perhaps fleeing into the wilderness was when you threw away your TV. Maybe it was when you realized you could no longer compromise with a corrupt world and so left your good paying job because the things you were doing violated your conscience. For example the movie "The Insider" describes a high paid executive scientist working for the tobacco industry who blows the whistle on what they are doing. The first thing that happens to him is that everything is ruined, his reputation, his marriage, his financial situation, everything. The water for him was made bitter, but when he embrace the cross and went all in, that water became sweet. He became a national hero.

The Great and Terrible day of the Lord
Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.
We are told in Paul's epistles that the things which happened in the Old Testament are an example for us and that the feasts and other appointed days are a shadow of things to come. In fact the term the Bible uses is "holy convocation" which means a dress rehearsal.
So then, in the OT what day was a shadow of a great day? Without a doubt all seven of the feasts of the Lord were great days, but this would especially be true of the three Feast days where all Israel was required to come before the Lord: Passover, Shavuot and Tabernacles. Of these three great days which of them were "terrible"? Shavuot was a little scary, but only to the Jews. Moses was not scared and we see no record of any Gentiles, nations or unbelievers being scared. Passover would be more terrible as the firstborn of all Egypt died. But even so, Passover was not the scariest day in the OT. The most terrible day in the OT was definitely, without any dispute, the 17th day of the second month. That was the day that the flood began. That impacted the whole globe and all animals. The greatest day in the New Testament was the day of resurrection and the most terrible day was the day of crucifixion.
But according to this prophecy in Joel we need one day that is both great and terrible as a shadow or dress rehearsal for the coming of the day of the Lord. Only God can do this.
According to the Jewish calendar the 17th day of the second month is in fact the 17th day of the first month according to the Bible. The Jewish calendar says that the evening of May 14th going into the day of May 15th is the 17th day of the second month. However, in 1948 that was when Israel walked out of the graves and into the land of Israel. That was foreshadowed in the resurrection of Jesus when He walked out of the grave. When Jesus began His ministry He proclaimed the year of Jubilee but only read half the prophecy, the "great" half and skipped the "terrible" half. The entire church age tells us the gospel, the great half, and skips the terrible half. But for those left behind after the rapture it will be the seventeenth day of the second month, the day the flood begins. For all those raptured it will be the seventeenth day of the first month, the day they are caught up to heaven.
So then, besides May 14, 1948 what other reasons do we have to believe that this is the day of resurrection? It was also the day that the US moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Those are two witnesses. And what about the Bible, why do I say that the Jewish calendar is wrong? God instructed the Jews that when they entered the land of Israel they would harvest their field. After reaping the harvest they were to bring a tithe of their harvest to the Lord as an offering on the Feast of Firstfruits which is three days after Passover. It is a serious offense to come before the Lord on Passover empty handed. Everyone was required to bring their offering and everyone was required to come. This means the feast can not be at the beginning of the harvest, it has to be after the harvest is over. The Bible also tells us that the most reliable measure for the calendar is seedtime and harvest. This makes sense as the harvest season in Egypt is one month sooner than it is for Israel. The barley harvest depends on where you live.
So then the prophecy of Israel walking out of the graves refers to the Holocaust, the most terrible day in Jewish history during the church age. They then walk into the land of Israel, the greatest day in Israel's history since 70 AD. Germany surrendered May 8th, that is one week before resurrection day, that is equivalent to Palm Sunday when Jesus rode triumphantly into Jerusalem. That is a further testimony that true Passover is in May.
However, God also prophesied that the Jews would use a phony calendar when He gave them second Passover. Everyone on the phony calendar will see this taking place during second Passover which were for those defiled by a dead man, an appropriate description of those defiled by dead religion.
But it gets more amazing because Ezekiel gives us a prophecy of how long the punishment of Israel would be. If you include the book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy which explains how the punishment will be lengthened sevenfold if they don't repent there is only one year in which both the kingdom of Judah and the northern Kingdom of Israel would both return to the land at the same time. That would be 1948.
The Lord prophesied it the day of the Lord would be like the days of Noah. He didn't say it would be exact, rather it would be like. The flood began on the seventeenth day of the second month in Noah's time and so it is reasonable to see the flood of the Lord's judgement to begin on the seventeenth day of the second month today. But it is even more amazing since the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the fifth month "May 14/15) is the day that the curse ended on the Jewish calendar, and is also the day they got up out of the graves and were able to enter the land of Israel. That is the 15th of Av. So on this one day we can see references to all three days.
Now here is where it goes from freaky coincidence to God is telling us something. According to the Prophecy of Saint Malachy after the 112th Pope judgement comes. Pope Francis death was the death of the 112th Pope and so we have a prophecy that his death will bring the judgment. At the time of Noah we had the exact same prophecy concerning Methuselah. But it is even stranger, he died on Resurrection day according to the apostate church (true it was no longer resurrection day in Rome, but it still was resurrection day for about 20% of the earth). The conclave of the cardinals that will gather to elect the new Pope is on May 7th. By their reckoning that would be the tenth day of the second month. That was the same day that Noah was locked into the ark with his family by God. The word conclave means to have a gathering locked into a room. But again, according to the true calendar of God this would be Palm Sunday, and in the Old Testament the 5/7 (the seventh of Av) is when the destruction of the first temple began.
In conclusion it is a great and terrible day. The odds of this being one giant coincidence is astronomical.
Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.
We are told in Paul's epistles that the things which happened in the Old Testament are an example for us and that the feasts and other appointed days are a shadow of things to come. In fact the term the Bible uses is "holy convocation" which means a dress rehearsal.
So then, in the OT what day was a shadow of a great day? Without a doubt all seven of the feasts of the Lord were great days, but this would especially be true of the three Feast days where all Israel was required to come before the Lord: Passover, Shavuot and Tabernacles. Of these three great days which of them were "terrible"? Shavuot was a little scary, but only to the Jews. Moses was not scared and we see no record of any Gentiles, nations or unbelievers being scared. Passover would be more terrible as the firstborn of all Egypt died. But even so, Passover was not the scariest day in the OT. The most terrible day in the OT was definitely, without any dispute, the 17th day of the second month. That was the day that the flood began. That impacted the whole globe and all animals. The greatest day in the New Testament was the day of resurrection and the most terrible day was the day of crucifixion.
But according to this prophecy in Joel we need one day that is both great and terrible as a shadow or dress rehearsal for the coming of the day of the Lord. Only God can do this.
According to the Jewish calendar the 17th day of the second month is in fact the 17th day of the first month according to the Bible. The Jewish calendar says that the evening of May 14th going into the day of May 15th is the 17th day of the second month. However, in 1948 that was when Israel walked out of the graves and into the land of Israel. That was foreshadowed in the resurrection of Jesus when He walked out of the grave. When Jesus began His ministry He proclaimed the year of Jubilee but only read half the prophecy, the "great" half and skipped the "terrible" half. The entire church age tells us the gospel, the great half, and skips the terrible half. But for those left behind after the rapture it will be the seventeenth day of the second month, the day the flood begins. For all those raptured it will be the seventeenth day of the first month, the day they are caught up to heaven.
So then, besides May 14, 1948 what other reasons do we have to believe that this is the day of resurrection? It was also the day that the US moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Those are two witnesses. And what about the Bible, why do I say that the Jewish calendar is wrong? God instructed the Jews that when they entered the land of Israel they would harvest their field. After reaping the harvest they were to bring a tithe of their harvest to the Lord as an offering on the Feast of Firstfruits which is three days after Passover. It is a serious offense to come before the Lord on Passover empty handed. Everyone was required to bring their offering and everyone was required to come. This means the feast can not be at the beginning of the harvest, it has to be after the harvest is over. The Bible also tells us that the most reliable measure for the calendar is seedtime and harvest. This makes sense as the harvest season in Egypt is one month sooner than it is for Israel. The barley harvest depends on where you live.
So then the prophecy of Israel walking out of the graves refers to the Holocaust, the most terrible day in Jewish history during the church age. They then walk into the land of Israel, the greatest day in Israel's history since 70 AD. Germany surrendered May 8th, that is one week before resurrection day, that is equivalent to Palm Sunday when Jesus rode triumphantly into Jerusalem. That is a further testimony that true Passover is in May.
However, God also prophesied that the Jews would use a phony calendar when He gave them second Passover. Everyone on the phony calendar will see this taking place during second Passover which were for those defiled by a dead man, an appropriate description of those defiled by dead religion.
But it gets more amazing because Ezekiel gives us a prophecy of how long the punishment of Israel would be. If you include the book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy which explains how the punishment will be lengthened sevenfold if they don't repent there is only one year in which both the kingdom of Judah and the northern Kingdom of Israel would both return to the land at the same time. That would be 1948.
The Lord prophesied it the day of the Lord would be like the days of Noah. He didn't say it would be exact, rather it would be like. The flood began on the seventeenth day of the second month in Noah's time and so it is reasonable to see the flood of the Lord's judgement to begin on the seventeenth day of the second month today. But it is even more amazing since the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the fifth month "May 14/15) is the day that the curse ended on the Jewish calendar, and is also the day they got up out of the graves and were able to enter the land of Israel. That is the 15th of Av. So on this one day we can see references to all three days.
Now here is where it goes from freaky coincidence to God is telling us something. According to the Prophecy of Saint Malachy after the 112th Pope judgement comes. Pope Francis death was the death of the 112th Pope and so we have a prophecy that his death will bring the judgment. At the time of Noah we had the exact same prophecy concerning Methuselah. But it is even stranger, he died on Resurrection day according to the apostate church (true it was no longer resurrection day in Rome, but it still was resurrection day for about 20% of the earth). The conclave of the cardinals that will gather to elect the new Pope is on May 7th. By their reckoning that would be the tenth day of the second month. That was the same day that Noah was locked into the ark with his family by God. The word conclave means to have a gathering locked into a room. But again, according to the true calendar of God this would be Palm Sunday, and in the Old Testament the 5/7 (the seventh of Av) is when the destruction of the first temple began.
In conclusion it is a great and terrible day. The odds of this being one giant coincidence is astronomical.
Key points concerning week May 7-May 14
1. May 14th when the Jews returned to the land of Israel fulfilled a prophecy that the dead would walk out of the graves into the Land. So both the Holocaust and the UN vote were prophetic fulfillments as well as the end of the war. The war ended May 9th, so this is like the fulfillment of the cross of Christ (holocaust), Palm Sunday (May 9th) and Resurrection day (May 14th).
2. This is essential because it shows the calendar the Jews use is off by a month with Resurrection day being May 14th instead of when the Jews (Passover) and Catholics (Easter) celebrate it. This is also confirmed because it was the 70th anniversary on May 14, 2018 when the US moved their embassy to Jerusalem.
3. The set feasts are prophetic, Paul said they were a shadow of things to come. Isaiah 66:7-9 equates the rapture of the church with this event of Israel returning to the land.
4. Jesus said it would be as the days of Noah and we have several key fulfillments. Prior to Noah entering the ark Methuselah died, the prophecy was that when he died the end would come. That prophecy is not in the Bible but is part of the Jewish tradition. Likewise we had this prophecy of Saint Malachy that there would be 112 Popes and when the last one died the judgment would come. The last one was Pope Francis. A second similarity is that Noah was locked into the ark on the tenth day of the second month by God. The word conclave means a group of people are locked into a room, it is on May 7th which according to the Jews is the tenth day of the second month.
5. In the Old Testament there is a second chance at the Passover, it is one month later. If you missed it the first time because you were defiled by a dead body you can keep it one month later. All those who missed the proper keeping of the Lord's death and resurrection get a second chance during the tribulation. Right now, according to the apostate churches and Jews this is the 2nd month and this 2nd Passover will be around May 11/12.
6. However, we know they are off by a month, the real date is that May 14th is resurrection day. This is not simply because Israel was reformed on that day according to Isaiah 66, it is also because the books of Moses say that you must first reap your harvest, then you bring your offering (your tithe) to the feast. At this feast we have the firstfruits of Barley offered to God. That means that you offer up your tithe at Passover. This means the Barley harvest must be over before you can celebrate Passover and it was just beginning when they said it was Passover. Why the mistake? Egypt has a barley harvest that is one month prior to Israel. So God prophesied that the rapture would take place one month before Passover -- that was when Lazarus was raised from the grave. In the same way for those left behind the rapture will be one month before they truly celebrate the Lord's death and resurrection but that will be because they are celebrating 2nd Passover. In this way God let us know from the prophesies that the rapture would be on resurrection day and for those who miss it, they will be able to truly celebrate the Lord's death one month later.

Jeroboam a type of the Antichrist
1 Kings 12:28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. 30 And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. 31 And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. 32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.

Jeroboam is a type of the Antichrist. This story depicts the Antichrist putting an idol (abomination of desolation) into the Holy Place and that takes place in the middle of the seven years. That is 3 1/2 years after the start of the seven years.
This seven year period starts in the first month, but the first month is not Nisan! Nisan was the first month for those who were raptured. But those who are left behind are getting a second chance and that second chance begins in the 2nd month with 2nd Passover. 3 1/2 years after the 2nd month brings you to the 8th month! This allows Jesus to return in glory at Israel becoming 84 fulfilling numerous prophecies.
