‘Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to
observe all that I commanded you; and see, I am
with you always, even to the end of the Age.’ – Matthew 28:19-20
The
purpose of this study is to consider the prophetic pattern of the
Church Age in how it appears that it is coming to a close in this last
generation based on 2 particular
astronomical cycles. The New Testament teaches that there will be a
conclusion to this Commission and Jesus Christ promised to be with His
Church until the end of the Age or dispensation. This study does make a
delineation between the Church universal and
the Bride that will be extracted from it. Once the Bride is Raptured,
the suspension of Israel’s commission will resume by way of the 144,000
Witnesses and the 2 Witnesses in particular. It will involve the
conclusion of Israel’s discipline as some interpret
the prophecy of Daniel and the scenario based on the book of
Revelation. This subsequent time for Israel’s discipline is referred to
as the Time of Jacob’s Trouble. This time is also attributed by some to
be coinciding to be what is called the Tribulation
period.
This study also holds to the interpretation that the Tribulation period
is a compressive 7 year prophetic week of years. It is divided into 2
equal lengths of times that is referred to as the
‘Time, Times and Half a Time’. Moreover, this period correlates
to the commencement of the breaking of the Seal judgments by the Lamb,
Jesus Christ in Heaven. These Seal judgments are all-encompassing that
includes within it the Tribulation, the Great
Tribulation, the Wrath of the Lamb, GOD, Satan, etc. What is noteworthy
is that the type of ‘First Fruits’ of the Rapture, that is the Apostle
John is there in Heaven to witness the breaking of these Seals as a
euphemism for the Bride. In the ‘reading of the
will’, the sentencing is being proclaimed against Lucifer and his
Fallen Ones, and the world that will be in tandem with the final
discipline of Israel.
This study does not agree that the Church will overlap in any way with
the Seal Judgments or Wrath of the Lamb or Satan for that matter. The
Church Age must end before the Time of Jacob’s Trouble can commence. It
will be a time remaining to complete Israel’s
redemption and transformation, not of the Church because that is what
the Pentecostal Intermission, the Church Age has been all about. Only
then at the end of the Great Tribulation will Israel finally be able to
see and say ‘Blessed is He that comes in the
Name of the LORD’ to Jesus’ at His 2nd Coming based on Zachariah 12-14.
This is proof that Israel is not the Church as the Church is not in a
position to be refined to the point that it says the same about the true
Messiahship of Jesus. The Church sees Jesus
now as Paul taught and the Church is yielded to the headship of
Messiah; Israel is not because it was Israel who ‘pierced Him’, not the
Church.
Who is the Church?
One of the main points of this study is that the Church is a
particular living organism that transcends a chosen racial bloodline
and/or a covenant land, i.e., Israel. It is not a man-made religion or
organization such as the Catholic Church. This study
is in agreement in that the Church is the spiritual hybrid of the ‘New
Man in Christ’ that includes both Jew and Gentile in Christ Jesus. It
has been during this Pentecostal Intermission that the LORD has seen fit
to build His peculiar Temple, a spiritual
house, i.e., the ‘Bride’, a gentile mostly at that, as a type of Ruth
and Boaz prophetic metaphor. The mere fact that this spiritual Temple is
where the LORD’s glory resides is testimony that the Church is not
Israel, as national Israel is without at physical
Temple required to honor the LORD with. This speaks of the discipline
Israel has had to endure in tandem during this Pentecostal Intermission
as it has been set aside prophetically, for the time being until the
Time of the Gentiles fully come in. This not
to say or teach that the Law and the Prophets have been done away with
in Christ but that they have been fulfilled in Jesus.
There are many Christian denominations that emphatically teach that the
Church should obverse the ‘whole Law’. If this is the case, then stoning
of rebellious children is warranted; then the need to sacrifice at the
physical Temple in Jerusalem is demanded,
etc. This is the quandary, such can’t because there is no physical
Temple in Jerusalem. This is the dilemma currently for the observant
Jews that can’t answer the question of why YHVH has not allowed a House
to His Name be erected at this time in Jerusalem
for 1,983 years so far. It is because the Messiah came and was rejected
by national Israel. As a consequence and discipline, Jesus at the
Olivet Discourse foretold that the Temple would be destroyed in His
generation at His 1st coming but yet would
exist in the Terminal Generation at His 2nd coming. It was Jesus who despite national Israel’s rejection initiated the New Covenant composed of the ‘New Man in Christ’.
The true Church since the 1st Pentecost has operated under
this constitution and will until the Commission the Church is completed
and the issue with Israel’s disciple resumes; for which a 3rd
Temple will be provided for such a time to
complete Israel’s discipline. There is much confusion in the Body of
Christ as to who is the Church. Many Christians erroneously also believe
that the Church will ‘spill over’ into to the Tribulation period
because of certain aspects of the books of Daniel
and Revelation that are either taken out of context or are
misinterpreted. In certain references, there is language that speaks of
the ‘Saints’ being worn out and overcome by the power of the AntiChrist.
Yet in such a time Israel is protected even from the horrors of the
AntiChrist. The false Prince and Messiah will turn to hunt down the
People of YHVH during the Tribulation, especially toward the 2nd
half. The reason why the Church cannot be present
during the Tribulation, much less the Great Tribulation is because
Jesus promised that His Church would not be subject to such a commission
and witness. The LORD Jesus promised that the Church would not be,
could not be overcome nor worn out as the Gates of
Hell. Such would attempt to destroy this Witness throughout the
Pentecostal Intermission. For the Church Age, many types of AntiChrists
have arisen for that very purpose. Such minions of Lucifer have not
prevailed despite horrific atrocities done against the
Saints, the Church comprising of both Jew and Gentile even to this
present day.
The Pentecostal Intermission
Such Satanic assaults cannot prevail over the Church and its Royal
Commission because like the encampment or ‘church’ in the wilderness,
the false prophets of Balaam could not curse the assembly. Why? Because
there was a ‘shout of the King’ amongst them. Jesus
was in the midst and no power in Heaven or on Earth is greater than
that of Jesus, as all authority in Heaven and Earth belongs to Jesus
alone due to His atoning substitutionary work on the Cross. The
authority of the resurrected LORD Jesus has been the power
of the Church during the Pentecostal Intermission for nearly the 2000
years. Why so many AntiChrist types have attempted without success to
destroy the Church throughout this Intermission with their Gates of Hell
is because the shout of the King, of Jesus
is in her midst. The only way Lucifer can prevail over a local
‘encampment’ is if Jesus is not their King and/or there is compromise.
This has been what has plagued the Churches throughout the Church Age as
it was the case for Israel. It has primarily been the doctrines of the
Nicolaitanes
and
the Jezebels that have been allowed in the Church that have compromised
such a testimony. To reiterate the ‘Church’ are all those that call
upon the Name of Jesus and is the Head
and Sovereign over the Body. It is not the Protestant Church nor other
‘organized’ ecclesiastical denominations. Sadly the last facet of the
Church Age is that of Laodicea that is generally characterized by gross
apostasy. Ironically this last stewardship
or ‘chapter’ of the Church will see the Bride of Christ be completed;
her cloths made white by the Blood of the Lamb and washed in the Word
ready for the Rapture presentation.
The divine purpose and plan for the Church has been that this divine
authority of Jesus as King has been bestowed by the LORD Jesus to
proclaim this witness to every generation within the Pentecostal
Intermission. This invincible power of an indestructible
life of a risen King is why the ‘Saints’ in this dispensation cannot be
‘worn out’ or overcome despite unrelenting persecutions by Lucifer in
an attempt to if at least compromise the witness because he knows he
cannot destroy nor curse it like Balaam. This
divine power and authority was bestowed for the very purpose of
fulfilling the Royal Commission to testify of the resurrection and new
creation found only in the Son of GOD. These specifics protocols given
by Jesus are prophetic only within the parameter of
the Church Age or peculiar Intermission. It has been specifically for
His followers in which the Rapture will signal the Bride’s Commission
completed as a type of harvest.
Another reason why the Church is not Israel is that after the Rapture,
national Israel will make a ‘New Covenant’ with the AntiChrist, or
‘Death’ as Isaiah calls it. During this subsequent time, the LORD will
commission other witnesses. If there has been any
spill over or overlap of the Commission of the Church with Israel, it
has been in the context that that national Israel has been brought back
in the land, although in unbelief. Also Jerusalem has been established
as its capital. More prophetic is that the
Temple Mount has been secured by Israel although no Temple has been
erected. These are the 3 prophetic keys that will signal the countdown
to the end of the Bride’s Commission. If the Church Age Believers with
their Royal Commission ‘spill over’ into the ‘Tribulation’
in any form, it would violate the purpose for the Pentecostal
Intermission. In a typology of the Divine Feasts, Pentecost cannot
suddenly become a time of Rosh HaShana.
The Tribulation
The prophetic types of the Feast of YHVH would follow that after the
prophetic Pentecostal Intermission, what comes next is the Fall Feasts
that deal with introspection, repentance and atonement. This is what the
Tribulation will be all about, for Israel, not
the Church. The Church, the Bride has had this process occur all
throughout the Pentecostal Intermission as she has washed away all sin
and wrinkle, spiritually speaking. For the Church, the Body of Christ,
it has been a time of introspection, growing pains
and repentance, a type of ’40 days’ in the wilderness for testing, not
disciple. The point is that the Church has been going through
tribulation since the very start of her Commission but it has not been
judgment. The ‘Saints’ that will be found during the
Tribulation period will be allowed to be overcome because they are not
the Church and the Church will not be there at that time.
Moreover, one could take this thought further in insinuating that
‘Jesus’ is not there. How can this be? Because prophetically, Jesus will
be mainly preoccupied with the Bema Seat evaluation of this Bride, and
will be setting court to break the Seals of the
Scroll having the Bride as the primary Witness. It is likened to a
reading of a will. In practice, the reading of a will is done upon the
death of the agent for the cause of his or her beneficiaries. In this
case, Jesus having died but risen nonetheless qualifies
to read His own will in this unique case. This will is the judgment of
Lucifer and world that will be in tandem with the tribulation that will
be used for the disciple of Israel. This is not to say that ‘Jesus’
cannot be anywhere at any time. It is just a
prophetic reference point in why the ‘Saints’, will be allowed to be
overcome.
As some interpret, the final prophetic ‘week of years’ is pertaining to
national Israel and those that will subsequently come to faith in Jesus
due to the efforts of the 144,000 Jewish evangelists and the 2
Witnesses. The point is that the Pentecostal Intermission
period has been an amazing time in which the King, GOD the SON has
indwelled a Believer by the power of the Holy Spirit, sealed forever.
During the Tribulation period the People of YHVH will only be ‘marked’.
Consider the following contrasts. The LORD Jesus
in the Olivet Discourse prescribed that the Remnant of that generation
flee to the mountains when they would see a type of the AntiChrist
desecrate the Temple. The context was Jesus giving direction to His
Disciples pertaining to national Israel.
This was a 2 fold prophetic
entendre
in that the 2nd Temple existed before the Pentecostal Intermission commenced and a 3rd
Temple would be built after. To the Disciples, it was one continuous
unbroken prophetic
line of thought, events and time, unawares of the Pentecostal
Intermission. The Disciples as the Prophets of old did not really grasp
the Pentecostal Intermission of the New Man in Christ as there was to be
no Temple for a long time although it was foretold
in Hosea 3:4. As it pertained to the Disciples in the 1st
Century, it is documented that none of the LORD’s Church perished in the
subsequent Roman campaigns against Jerusalem leading up to the
destruction of the 2nd Temple in 70 AD;
they ‘escaped’ up to the hills. Perhaps this was even a type of the
Rapture to come when Sudden Destruction will befall the world in these
Last Days. The Disciples had taken Jesus’ words of warning and fled or
escaped. It will be no different during the Tribulation
for Israel, not the Church.
For Israel, the end will be no different as once again the prophet
Daniel alludes that the same people of the Prince that shall come will
be from where the AntiChrist is to arise. It will be in those days that
Jesus’ Disciples, i.e., national Israel as a type
of His Church thereafter, will be taken to Petra to escape as the
AntiChrist is given full power for the last half of the Tribulation. The
point is that if the LORD provided His ‘Earthly’ Disciples a warning
and way of escape from the persecution to come to
national Israel before the Pentecostal Intermission and after such a
time during the Tribulation Period, the Time of Jacob’s Troubles…the
question is thus, how can He not, would He not also do this for His
spiritual people, the Church, His Bride?
It would be in keeping with the pattern and promise of providing the
Church a similar way of escape at the end of her most Royal and
privileged Commission. Thus this study strongly suggests that the Bride
of Christ cannot overlap the Commission of the 144,000
and that of the 2 Witnesses. “For it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the Earth.
“But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to
escape all these things that are about to take place, and
to stand before the Son of Man." Now during the day He was teaching in
the temple, but at evening He would go out and spend the night on the
mount that is called Olivet. – Luke 21:36-37
To reiterate, the ‘escape’ for the Bride will be the Blessed Hope that
is peculiar amongst all types of Raptures because it includes the
promise of the resurrection of the dead in Christ Jesus. This cannot be
said of national Israel as a whole. Again, if this
is the case for national Israel during the Time of Jacob’s Trouble that
will encompass the Tribulation period, how can there not be a similar
escape made for His spiritual Israel? More so in that this ‘spiritual
Israel’ is comprising His crown, His prized
possession as Isaiah states, His Bride. Will the Bride that has been
forged out of the tribulation and trials that has constituted the 7-fold
dispensation of prophetic Pentecostal Intermission since the 1st Pentecost be still lacking in disciple
to have her partake of Israel’s disciple? No.
‘Then
those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD gave
attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him
for those who fear the LORD and who esteem
His name. "They will be Mine," says the LORD of hosts, "on the day that
I prepare My own possession,
and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him."
So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked,
between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him. – Malachi
3:16-17
Of course there are those that hold to the interpretation that the
Church will overlap in the Tribulation, either the first half or
especially the 2nd half. Many Christians erroneously presume
the Church is to go through and be ‘raptured’ at the
end of the wrath or pre-wrath, perhaps. The point is that even in the
Olivet Discourse, the LORD prescribed an ‘escape’ for His Followers to
take note of.

The Conclusive Tetrad
The
LORD deals in patterns of 7s as with the 7-fold faceted timeframe of
the Church Age that can be seen as a Menorah pattern. This is visualized
in the book of Revelation by the LORD
Himself depicted as the High Priest in the Heavenly Temple ministering
in the midst to the 7 Churches of Lights, even to the end of the Age as
He promised. Moreover the prophetic pattern of the ‘Church’ in the
wilderness’ can be extrapolated to the Church
Age in the following. There were 40 years of wandering before the
Assembly could enter the Promised Land. In a typology, the natural self,
the flesh and the carnal mind as the Bible metaphorically describes the
condition and process of sanctification have
to die first before the ‘Church’ can cross over to the Promised Land. A
‘new creation’ is required as much as flesh and bones cannot inherit
the Kingdom of YHVH.
To cross over into the ‘Kingdom’, it requires a renewed generation or to
be born anew. The number 40 speaks of testing, not judgment. Thus if
one applies the Jubilee principle of the 120 years based on the Flood
judgment pronounced by the LORD, the following
prophetic mathematical equation alludes to how long the Church Age or
the Pentecostal Intermission is to last approximately. One
interpretation of the 120 year factor is not that it was how long
Humanity’s lifespan was to degenerate to but that these were
the amount of Jubilees Humanity was to be allotted on the prophetic
time clock. A Jubilee count is 50 that in fact corresponds to the
Pentecostal count from the First Fruits resurrection of the LORD to the
gathering of the 120 Disciples in the Upper Room.
Here again 120 is seen as the ‘code’ of the prophetic numerical
coefficient used. Also 120 is the coefficient of the time, 1 month 20
days and 1,200 minutes of time or weeks, a complete reflection of the
7-fold age of churches within the Pentecostal Intermission.
40 year Testing x 50 Jubilee count = 2000 years (Church Age)
APR 14, 32 AD - APR 14, 2014 = 1982 year difference
1982 years to 2000 = difference of 18 years (6-6-6)
2014-15 Tetrad - 1982 year coefficient = 32 years (crucifixion year and age of AntiChrist?)
Thus
this study presents the case that the Church Age is about to conclude
in this generation. This is based on 2 possible confirming sign
validating this time-span that is based on
an astronomical Blood Moon and solar eclipse correlation. The 1st
correlation is from the midnight Blood Moon of 32 AD that this study
suggests is in fact when the crucifixion day occurred, to the start of
the 1st Blood Moon of the 2014-15
Tetrad, exactly 1983 years. The 2nd correlation is that no
other Tetrad before or after has a total solar eclipse exactly on the
Spring Equinox that is also a Jewish New Year. What the point is that
the Tetrad of 2014-15 might very well be the one
that is to precede the Day of the LORD as foretold by the prophet Joel
as a partial solar eclipse occurs on the Rosh HaShana. This is in
essence a ‘code’ for a beginning and end duration of time; perhaps that
of the Pentecostal Intermission?
There are other Tetrads that occur after 2014-15 as the ones in 2032,
2043, 2061, etc., none but the 2061-62 Tetrad have the consecutive 4
Feast days of YHVH, yet it does not have a total solar eclipse occurring
in between the Blood Moons on a New Year nor
Equinox. Thus the point is that the subsequent Tetrads in the future
are a mixed-bag of that do not ‘fit’ the Joel prophecy as does the one
exclusively in 2014-15. Erroneously many also have come to believe based
on drawing renditions of the 2014-15 Tetrad
that only 1 total solar eclipse occurs in the ‘middle’ of the Tetrad.
This is not the case.
The Solar Eclipse Signature of the Tetrads
Again,
what is unique about the 2014-15 Tetrad is that it has a Jewish New
Year to New Year correspondence. The unique total solar eclipse on the
Spring Equinox and Jewish New Year on
March 20, 2015 is marking off a prophetic conclusion of a matter or Age
perhaps with the partial solar eclipse of September 13, 2015, on Rosh
HaShana. Could this allude to the end of the Pentecostal Intermission?
The following shows that based on the NASA
calculations of the 8 Tetrads since Christ none but the 2014-15 Tetrad
has both a total solar eclipse occurring on the Equinox and Jewish
religious New Year.

Blood Moon Pattern
Thus
could the 2014-15 Tetrad be the prophetic time-marker that is to
converge the ending of the Commission of the Church to that of the
commissioning of the 144k and the 2 Witnesses
based on the Equinox solar eclipse New Year’s code? Perhaps the end of
the Church Age is to be somehow related to the Tetrad that ends in the
Fall of 2015 or soon thereafter. From this time forward, no such Tetrads
will have the 4 corresponding Feasts synchronized
in a row with a total solar eclipse in the midst. The following is a
speculative timeline based on this assertion that the Commission of the
Church is about to end based on the 2 particular Blood Moons and New
Year’s solar eclipse pattern. This study is supposing
that the bench mark for the Church Age timeline could very well be
pegged to the crucifixion year and the subsequent Pentecost.
Specifically the Blood Moon near midnight of April 14, 32 AD will be
pegged to the 1st Blood Moon of the 2014-15 Tetrad that also
started amazingly on April 14 of 2014.
The
April 14, 32 AD is a theory among many. Interesting, Isaac Newton
rejected this date because he was highly influenced by the prevailing
Roman Catholic dogma that Good
Friday had to be the day of the crucifixion. Even great minds overlook
the obvious. This study nonetheless holds to the belief that the year of
the crucifixion was on 32 AD as some calculate it. The point is that
the Pentecostal Intermission has been a special
time interval between the 2nd and 3rd Temples, between the 1st
Pentecost and perhaps a last one that remains to be determined. The
calculations are not emphatically stating that the Rapture will occur on
a Pentecost or that
it has to be a specific year or fall on a Feast of YHVH. Based on these
celestial parameters, several mathematical year calculations will
nonetheless be presented for observation purposes only.
To
reiterate, one day, the Church Age will end. This is predicated on the
having the full measure of the Gentiles grafted in to the Plan of
Salvation found in the Messiah
of Israel, Jesus Christ. The Church Age or Intermission has been about
the Royal Commission of taking the Good News of the King of the
Universe, Jesus to the nations. It is about His redemptive work that is
available to all the nations. This privilege was
forfeited by national Israel as they rejected Jesus as their Messiah.
Since that time, there has been a prophetic ‘Intermission’ of the Church
that has primarily been made up of the nations to have taken the Gospel
message to the Nations as national Israel
has been side aside and has come under discipline and blindness. It
will not be until Israel passes through the Time of Jacob’s Troubles
that the disciple will be completed.
This final redemption or purification of national Israel will commence
once the Church’s Commission is completed and is removed by the Rapture
event. The end of the Pentecostal Intermission will allow the subsequent
commissioning of the 144,000 to be particularly
anointed to carry on the Gospel as well as the 2 Witnesses during the
time of Jacob’s Trouble because the LORD will not leave Himself without a
Witness. The Church was a mystery, a secret not revealed to the
Prophets in full, although glimpses were alluded
to as the multitudes in the wilderness during the Exodus as it was
referred to as the ‘church’. In actuality, the word is just referencing a
called out gathering.
The Commissioning of the Church
Amazingly, in Ephesians it declares that during the Church Age, the LORD has been teaching in the Heavenlies
the Manifold Wisdom of GOD through the pattern of the true Church
order on Earth. What is this Wisdom? In part it is that during this
Pentecostal Intermission, a ‘picture’ of the divine character of order,
humility and majesty is seen of who and what
the GOD-Head is. The Head of the Church is Jesus as Jesus’s Head is the
Father. GOD the Holy Spirit has submitted to the Headship of Christ
Jesus as it has sealed and infused itself with the Church amazingly
during the Pentecostal Intermission. The Church
of Christ Jesus that is a euphemism also for ‘His Body’ has been given
the Great Commission. This Commission is a Royal Commission based on the
authority of the resurrected Jesus Christ, the New Covenant.
The
indwelling of the Holy Spirit has been given for such a task as the
Gospel of repentance and the Kingdom to come to the whole world has been
handled in each of the 7-fold
prophetic generations by the true and faithful Church, i.e., His Bride.
This is the divine pattern of godly humility that should also be
reflective in the local true Churches, in godly marriages and the family
unit. This is one facet of what the Church teaches
or should. The point is that the true Church has not only become a
school room for the Believers during this Pentecostal Intermission but
for the Angels and Principalities on High and even the Fallen Ones who
seek to destroy her are instructed and taught by
her. As far as the Fallen Angels, their opposition comes from the fact
that their heavenly thrones or seats of power shall be vacated and the
Bride is to take their thrones of power after the Rapture.
What does the ‘Church’ also teach? It teaches that the Dispensation of Grace has allowed for the Gospel message of
‘whosoever calls on the Name of LORD Jesus will be saved’ based
on unmerited favor to graft in non-Jews into the Plan of Redemption. In
another part, the ‘manifold wisdom of GOD’ is that Christ has procured a
Bride from redeemed sinners to co-rule what
all is to come. This privilege is not based on works or the
righteousness that the Law could impart but on the work of believing and
implementing faith in Jesus Christ’s substitutionary work. According to
the Bible’s teaching a substitutionary atonement was
allowed for the fallen human race of Adam to pay the requirement and
fulfil the work the Law; perfection as in complete holiness before the
LORD. Jesus became this on behalf of Adam’s race, the 2nd Adam.
This New Creation commenced on Pentecost with the representative of the
Bride, the prophetic 120 Disciples in the Upper Room and perhaps it will
be consummated at such a similar time. The point being is that the
Church during this Pentecostal Intermission has
coincided with national Israel’s suspension as a prophetic witness. The
witness of the Church is fast coming to a close. This study suggests
that the Commission of the Church which is foretold to end cannot
overlap once the LORD commissions the 144,000 Jewish
evangelists and the 2 Witnesses. Now will the Tribulation period
commence immediately following the Blessed Hope? That remains to be
seen. One probability is certain that the 2 witnesses will center their
testimony around the 3rd Temple in Jerusalem
on the Temple Mount. There is currently a new theory that asserts that perhaps the 3rd Temple will be actually located in the City of David.
A Spiritual Temple
As to the 3rd Temple being in the City of David, perhaps
it is being mistaken for one of the fortresses of David or Solomon as in
the Hall of Justice. Realize that Mt. Moriah was a threshing floor and
became an altar that the LORD instructed
King David to build as that was the place the LORD stayed the plague
due to David's sin of counting his army. An atonement thereafter was
made on the very altar made at the place that would later become the
Holy of Holies. The Ark would rest upon this precise
spot where the blood of lambs and ultimately the Blood of The Lamb,
Jesus would stay off the plague of sin for all Humanity.
Of course a Temple in the City of David could be a possibility but in
the Middle East as in all ancient cultures the temples of the 'gods'
were always at the highest point of the city or area. In Old Jerusalem,
the Temple Mount is the highest point. Interestingly,
it was the Psalms 113-118 that would be sung as worshipers of YHVH
ascended up
'to the mountain of the Lord, to the House of Jacob'....that cannot
be said of the City of David as it is at a lower elevation. Another
observation that lends credence to the Temple being on the Temple
platform is based on the study of the Gates of Orion.
Based on this theory, Jerusalem is configured astronomically upon the
dimensions of the constellation Orion.
Many believe that is the actual location of the Heavenly Zion and House
of YHVH. Amazingly the gates of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount exactly
correlate to the star layout. What is prominent is that Orion’s 3 star
belt corresponds to the al-Aqsa mosque, the
Dome of the Rock and the Temple. The al-Aqsa is silver, corresponding
to the Moon, the Dome is gold, corresponding to the Sun and the Holy of
Holies corresponds to the ‘stars’ as the Shekinah Glory was as brilliant
as the stars. Thus the Temple Mount is a
picture of the witness of the majesty of YHVH in how the ‘Sun, Moon and
Stars’ testify of the dimensions of YHVH’s Throne in the Heavenlies as
they do on Earth.
Synchronization of Prophetic Time
To reiterate, one theory of the actual day of the crucifixion and
subsequently the Church being birthed in 32 AD lends to some unique
mathematical calculations. From April 14, 32 AD to Pentecost of that
year is June 7th. This is reminiscent of the exact month
and day that the Temple Mount would be liberated by the Jews in the
6-Day War of 1967, a Jubilee year as calculated by some. It would be
exactly 1935 years since 32 AD. This 1935 numerical coefficient if
correlated to the year 1935 would be 13 years from 1948
when Israel was birthed as a nation since 70 AD.
Another amazing mathematical relationship related to time is that the
Blood Moons of both April 14, 32 AD and April 14, 2015 are
mathematically in approximate relationship to the phi ratio to the Day
of the LORD’s ascension and to the Feast of Pentecost 10
days later. It is a picture of precision and divine mathematics during
this prophetic Intermission called the Church Age also that is about to
end mathematically based on astronomical correlations then.
Passover Eclipses
APR 14, 32 AD to APR 14, 2014 the last of the 7th Biblical Tetrad = 1982 years exactly
APR 14, 32 AD crucifixion to end of Tetrad SEP 28, 2015 = 1983 years 6 months 14 days
Start of Church Age
APR 18, 32 AD Resurrection + 50th Day Pentecost = June 7, 32 AD
JUN 07, 32 AD Pentecost to May 24, 2015 Pentecost = ~1983 years
MCMLXXXII = 1982 and 82rd year of the 20th Century
70 AD - 32 AD when the crucifixion took place and the Church began = 38 years
38 years is the time after the crucifixion and resurrection and Church
at Pentecost that the 2nd Temple was destroyed on the 9th of Av.
As
it pertains to Pentecost in 2015, it will amazingly be aligned with the
3rd Blood Moon of the Tetrad, April 4, 2015 in a phi ratio of time.
This Blood Moon in turn is
synchronized to the 50th day which is Pentecost on May 24th. Most
noticeably, it converges on the same day as observed by the Jewish
calendar and the Western calendar. It will also be 10 days prior is a
convergence of both Ascension Day that is the day of
the Rapture of Jesus Christ to Heaven which coincides with Israel’s
Independence Day on May 14. And again, the Spring Equinox total solar
eclipse of March 20, 2015 is extremely unique in that it spans the time
from the Jewish religious New Year to the Jewish
civil New Year. The following are some time factor for observation
purposes only.
Eclipse on New Year MAR 20, 2015 to Rosh HaShana New Year SEP 13, 2015 = 177 days
APR 4 Blood Moon
Nissan Passover
Blood Moon + 50th Day = May 24, 2015 Pentecost (both Jewish and Western)
May 24 Pentecost - 10 days = May 14 Ascension and Israel’s Independence Day
JUN 07, 32 AD Pentecost + 1949 years = 1917 Liberation of Jerusalem
1917 - 1948 = 30th year (duration of astronomical/geometric season)
1917 + 49th Year = 1967 Liberation of Jerusalem Temple Mount
JUN 07, 32 AD + 1967 Temple Mount = June 7, 1999
Tetrad Blood Moons
2014 on Apr 14 - Nissan 5774 on Passover
2014 on Oct 08 - Tishri 5775 on Sukkot
2015 on Apr 04 - Nissan 5775 on Passover
2015 on Sep 28 - Tishri 5776 on Sukkot
Cycles of Time
If the Church Age is divided in equal times of prophetic 30 years = 30° of a circle.
30 x 12 = 360°
Then 360 prophetic cycles of time / by the 7 Church dispositions = 51 prophetic years.
Of note, 51.4° = Great Pyramid angle. In numerology, the number 51 is
associated with baptism and a ladder. This is what the Pentecostal
Intermission has been all about.
Israel’s Independence 1948 + 51 year cycle = 1999
Same year as JUN 07, 32 AD + 1967 Temple Mount = June 7, 1999.
Temple Mount acquired 1967 + 51 year cycle = 2018
Central Blood Moon in Triad over Jerusalem pegged to 2011, a 7 year cycle.
This year of 2018 will also correlate to Israel’s 70th year.
Summation
This
study has only speculated the possible timing of the Rapture sequence
based off the parody of what has constituted the Church Age. It has been
pegged to the Passover Blood Moons
that both occurred on April 14 and the New Year’s solar eclipses within
the last Biblical Tetrad of 2014-15. Such Blood Moons on Passover occur
but are somewhat rare when they are possibly narrowed down to a
sequence of when the Rapture is to take place based
on these astronomical patterns. As many correctly say, the Rapture does
not need to take place on a Feast of YHVH but the Church was ‘born and
commissioned on Pentecost. It is proper then to possibly contemplate if
whether the end of the Commission of the
Church could likewise take place on a Pentecost feast day. Nonetheless,
the Pentecostal Intermission is all about a harvest, of souls and the
Barley harvest does not occur at Pentecost but at Rosh HaShana.
Thus the Rapture could be an interface of both the conclusion of the
Pentecostal Barley harvest that coincides with the beginning of the
Wheat harvest in Rosh HaShana, which is an ‘in-gathering’ of the Barley.
This could be a prophetic type as wheat is harder
to separate from the chaff; it requires a tribulum, or a ‘tribulation’
to separate the unbelief and blindness of Israel. It is the Barley
harvest that is brought in on Rosh HaShana that is also the start of the
new economic year cycle where all debts are cleared.
Prophetically it might well correspond to the Church in that at that
point the Bride will have no ‘debt’ owed to the world nor Lucifer that
is outstanding;
tetelestai
it has been all paid forward in full by the Blood of Jesus at the
Cross. Thus prophetically,
it is after the Pentecostal Intermission that the wheat harvest
commences with national Israel in which a different protocol or
procedure is required to harvest. Harvest is just really another term
for separation, or sanctification where Israel will finally
complete its ‘holiness unto the LORD’ as its name infers, a Prince
before Elohim.
There are some presumed facts that are valid regarding Pentecost, Jesus
ascended or was Raptured 10 days prior to Pentecost. Jesus did
commission the Church and promised that He would be in her midst and
that there would be an end date to His Royal Commission.
The Church that was gathered in the Upper Room represented the ‘First
Fruits of the Bride being 120 in number. This was the exact number of
the Priests at the Temple required for full service and that were
commissioned for the House sacrificial ordinances.
Here is a splendid picture of how the LORD Jesus took the 120 lowly
fisherman and commoners and made them a Royal Priesthood of Believers to
be commissioned it the building of the LORD Spiritual House i.e., His
bride. This study calls this mystery time the
Pentecostal Intermission of the Church Age. Based on the 2 astronomical
eclipse patterns, this Age could possibly be seeing the prophetic
timelines converge at the ending of the last Biblical Tetrad since
Christ that is marked exclusively by an Equinox and
New Year’s prophetic ‘beginning and end’ time marker.
Any significant time beyond the 2014-15 Tetrad does away with the 49
year Jubilee pattern, the 50 and 70 year pattern since Israel became a
nation in 1948 and when the Temple Mount was back in Jewish control in
1967. One thing is for sure, the Church Age is
at its closing stages. As most can attest to, the prevailing morality
of the mainline churches is that of Laodicea, the Apostate Church. In
general, the Church is full of Nicholas’ and Jezebels, wolves in sheep’s
clothing. Yet the LORD of the Church, the Head
has preserved His Elect as in the time of Israel’s apostasy when 7,000
did not bow the knee to Ba’al. This doesn’t mean that every local church
is in such a state. The prior 6 facets of the Church Age interface or
overlap onto the subsequent ones, so there
can be and there is a mixture of types because not all are at the same
spiritual level of maturity as a Barley field does not all ripen at the
same time. It is a mystery and a dichotomy in that the last phase of the
Church that would be apostate would coincide
to when the Bride would be made ready for the presentation to the King
at the point of the Rapture.
It is a true testimony of how the LORD allowed the tares and the wheat
to grow side by side until the very end of the Age, that of the
conclusion to the Pentecostal Intermission. What is the remedy for
apostasy? The Water and the Blood. Technically, the Bride
of Christ was ’birthed’ at the side of Jesus as the spear wound pierced
His heart and opened His side as the King was hanging on the Cross. It
was the Water and Blood that came out form His side like Adam was
opened up on his side. It was from there that
Eve was ‘built’. This would prophetically signal the type of elements
that where to be used as cleansing agents throughout the Pentecostal
Intermission to construct His ‘Eve’ with and keep her from apostasy.
These holy elements from the King were divinely
prescribed to one day present the Bride washed by the Blood of the Lamb
and cleansed of mind by the renewing of the Word as washing with water
done by the power of the Holy Spirit.
To reiterate, this study of the Pentecostal Intermission has only
suggested a prophetic pattern that could be a possibility of when the
Church Age is to conclude. If the April 14, 32 AD date is the actual
date of the crucifixion, and subsequent Pentecost year,
then perhaps the April 14 is a direct ‘code’ or correlation that is
marked or pegged to the 2014-15 Tetrad that started also on April 14.
This peculiar Tetrad of 2014-15 specifically has a total solar eclipse
not only occurring in the midst of the pair of
Blood Moons but on the beginning of the Jewish religious New Year that
in turn is pegged to the subsequent civil New Year.
The point of this study has been that if the 2014-15 Tetrad that started
in April 14 is pegged to the Blood Moon of April 14, 32 AD, then it
would possibly be connected in some mysterious way to the ending of the
Church’s Commissioning soon thereafter. This
study does acknowledge though that the Church Age did overlap with
about 38 years of Temple sacrifices still in practice. Could there also
be such a similar overlap as the 3d Temple is constructed and perhaps
the Church Age is to likewise overlap even the
same amount to years? It remains to be seen. Why was this allowed by
the LORD? The key is the 40 year pattern of ‘testing’.
This countdown to the destruction of the Temple and the ceasing of the
sacrificial ordinances commenced with the public ministry of Jesus.
Jesus as the Messiah and King of Israel rightful put Israel to the test
as they were with Moses in the wilderness. It
was a test to see what was in their hearts. Sadly as in the wilderness
test of 40 years, the hearts were not right and the birthright and
privilege of the Kingdom, the Promised Land was given to a new
generation, i.e., a new birth as in the Church.
~30 AD around start of Jesus’ ministry + 40 year ‘testing’ period for Israel = 70 AD
Again
if 32 AD is the year of the crucifixion and start of Church Age, 38
years from that date, the Temple was destroyed in 70 AD. This is well
within the 40 year time prophetic
Trial period for Israel as it was in the wilderness that this study
suggests was pegged to Jesus’ start of ministry as the One greater than
Moses had arrived. This study thus suggests that perhaps the 40 year
countdown to the testing of Israel started with
the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. It was not Israel that was
‘testing’ Jesus although the Pharisees did but it was the King, the Lord
of the Vineyard that tested the ‘fruit’ of Israel, it failed to produce
any fruit and subsequently the land was given
to another and this allowed the Gentiles to be grafted in. As the false
religious leaders of Israel cursed Jesus and to this day, it was Jesus
who ‘cursed’ Israel in the event of the fig tree that withered for
baring no fruits as Jesus passed and sought some.
What this study has sought to bring out is that in no other year in the
decade except 2015 is there such a synchronization of the timelines that
incorporates the coefficient of the 40 years of testing. In this year,
Shavuot is synchronized with the western
observance of Pentecost, Ascension Day with Israel’s birthday. Also
consider that if as many are purporting that the 2015-2022 timeline
might start with the Fall Feasts of YHVH to correspond with Daniel’s
last prophetic week, then 2022 minus the 40 year pattern
of ‘testing’ would be a difference of 1982 years. This is the exact
number of years from when Pentecost occurred in 32 AD to the start of
the final Biblical Tetrad of 2014-25.
2022 – 40 year ‘test’ pattern = 1982 compared to 32 AD to 2014 Tetrad = 1982 years
This
assertion of when the Church Age is to conclude is subject to debate
but the eclipse Pentecostal Intermission patterns presented in this
study are nonetheless amazing
to consider and contemplate.
