Friday 29 August 2008


Dear readers!

There will be no new posts from Friday 29th of August until Tuesday 2nd of September 2008.


Since I do believe that the Great Tribulation is now immanent, I have to move and relocate from London, UK to a safer place in the countryside in the heart of Europe.

So I will be travelling and settling down for the next couple of days.

May God bless his children,

Michael

The Names Code of the Bible

The meaning of a name was considered very important in biblical times. Sometimes the Bible itself informs the reader what a name means. Such renowned persons as Adam, Cain, Seth, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (and all 12 sons), Perez, Peleg and Jesus all have the meaning of their name explicitly given in the Bible. Their names tell the story of why or how they were born.

Some students of the Bible have wondered whether these names (with their meanings) might not be strung together in succession to tell some larger story. For if the meaning of these names do indeed tell a story then this would imply that God himself arranged these names providentially throughout the ages. This would also help prove that the genealogy of Jesus is of divine origin.

There have already been attempts to string together the first 10 names in the Bible from Adam to Noah. Here is the most probable interpretation of those names in succession

A man is appointed, a man of sorrow. The Praise of God shall come down and teach that his death shall bring the grieving comfort

But some of the meanings of these first 10 names in the genealogy of Christ remain in doubt. And regrettably, this is true also of the next 10 names from Noah to Abraham. But all is not lost. Fortunately, the next 40 names after that, as recorded in Matthew's genealogy of Abraham to Jesus, are reasonably certain. And the meaning of these latter 40 names supports the renderings of the first 20 names.

Here is a brief analyses of the first ten names that do hold the whole Christian story of salvation, written by a Jew 1,500 years before the birth of Jesus…

#

Name

Meaning

1

Adam

"Man"; "Mankind" (Comes from the word meaning, "to be red", as in the red earth [or red blood?])

2

Seth

"Appointed"; "placed"; "put". 25 And Adam proceeded to have intercourse again with his wife and so she gave birth to a son and called his name Seth, because, as she said: “God has appointed another seed in place of Abel (Genesis 4)

3

Enosh

"Man"; "mortal/frail man”

4

Kenan

“possession” but sounds like, and is related to the word for a 'dirge' or a 'wailing chant', hence "sorrow"

5

Mahalalel

“The Praise of God”; "The Fame of God"; "The Glory of God". 3 He is the reflection of [his] glory and the exact representation of his very being, and he sustains all things by the word of his power; and after he had made a purification for our sins he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty in lofty places. (Hebrews 1)

6

Jared

“Coming down"

7

Enoch

“Initiated”; "dedicated". Strongs says, "A primitive root; properly to narrow; figuratively to initiate or discipline: - dedicate, train up."

8

Methuselah

“Man of the missile/dart”; "His death shall bring". The latter reading is the more sure (though not according to etymology) in that "His death brought" the flood; that is, Methuselah died just months before the flood. Nevertheless, even the name "Man of the dart/spear" perhaps suggests the type of death that Messiah would die, for "He was pierced for our transgressions," (Isa. 53).

9

Lamech

"Grieving", "poor"; "the strikerdown". These are all possible meanings, but none are certain. What is for sure, however, is that the name sounds like the Hebrew phrase, "Lamoch", meaning, "To sink down in despair", and so it is rendered here.

10

Noah

“rest” or “comfort” 29 And he proceeded to call his name Noah, saying: “This one will bring us comfort from our work and from the pain of our hands resulting from the ground which Jehovah has cursed. (Genesis 5

From this specific realization we can deduce that all names mentioned in the Scriptures are of prophetic importance. This seems to be true also of geographic places which’s names are given. While we currently do not fully understand this dimension of the Code we have experienced that sometimes an account virtually decodes and interprets itself when we insert the actual meanings of the names and places mentioned.


The Acrostic Code of the Bible

What is an acrostic? According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrostic, ‘acrostic’ comes from the late Greek akróstichon, from ákros, "top", and stíchos, "verse" is a poem or other writing in an alphabetic script, in which the first letter, syllable or word of each line, paragraph or other recurring feature in the text spells out another message.

Distinctive are the acrostic, or alphabetic, psalms. (Ps 9, 10, 25, 34, 37, 111, 112, 119, 145) In these psalms the initial verse or verses of the first stanza begin with the Hebrew letter ´a´leph, the next verse(s) with behth, and so on through all or nearly all the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. This arrangement may have served as a memory aid. These are obvious acrostics. However, there seems that there is a secret acrostics in the bible as well. The acrostic summarizes the plan of salvation from the beginning of time.

This hidden acrostic is derived from the first three genealogies recorded in the bible, (Gen. 4, 5, 11). The first two genealogies overlap in that they both begin from Adam. The first is the genealogy of Cain's line (the ungodly line) whereas the second is the genealogy of Seth (the godly line). In the first genealogy, the first letter of each of the consecutive 8 names are read in order, and this is again repeated in Seth's line all the way down to Abraham's father, Terah.

From Adam come two lines of decent through his sons Cain and Seth. The acrostic for Cain's line begins with Adam and ends with Jabal, and the acrostic for Seth's line also begins with Adam but ends with Terah and with his son, Abraham. These two parallel acrostics refer to four incidents in the bible, and these four incidents happen to occur at either end of the two lines of decent!

The acrostics refer to the time of Cain and Jabal, and to the time of Adam and Abraham. Thus, the acrostic refers to incidents in the history of man that occur at either end of the acrostic's genealogy, and this in turn is applied prophetically to Christ. If the acrostic were somehow the work of inconceivable random chance, the bible code would not also produce logical sentences that capsulate key events in the two lineages, and each at either end of the genealogies, and then soundly apply them to Jesus who ultimately completes the genealogy! Together, the acrostic reads:

“I will choose a circumcised people, even peoples for myself!" (Cain’s line)

"I will forgive them that rose up against me, having compassion, forgiving those from the dust a second time!" (Seth’s line)

The alliance between Russia and China gets stronger

There is a latent possibility that at some point the "king of the north" will become a of nations led by Russia and China. That block currently takes the form of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

What is happening at the moment will define the final appearance the characters in the drama "The Time of the End” will have. The global landscape, which is reconfigured since 2001, finally puts on stage the relevant entities.

Here is an article published by Bloomberg today…

Medvedev Seeks China's Support on Recognizing Regions (Update2)

By Lyubov Pronina and Sebastian Alison

Aug. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev met his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao today, seeking support from Russia's biggest Asian ally for its recognition of two breakaway Georgian regions, a move widely condemned in the West.

Medvedev ``informed'' Hu about his decision to recognize the statehood of Abkhazia and South Ossetia during a meeting of the six-member Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the Tajik capital, Dushanbe, the president's spokeswoman Natalia Timakova told reporters without elaborating. China has yet to comment.

The fact that China hasn't come out in support of Russia's position ``doesn't mean that China is isolating Russia,'' government spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in a telephone briefing. While Medvedev called on other countries to follow Russia's lead in recognizing the two regions, ``to initiate wide support is not a primary goal,'' Peskov said.

Russia said it plans to establish diplomatic relations with the regions as Russian warships docked at the Abkhaz capital Sukhumi, the Interfax news service reported. Russia's recognition of the regions drew condemnation from Western leaders including U.S. President George W. Bush, who asked Medvedev to ``reconsider this irresponsible decision.''

Taiwan, Tibet

``Russia's main aim is to get support from the organization for its military action and approval in one form or another for recognizing South Ossetian independence,'' said Yevgeny Volk, an analyst in Moscow for the Washington-based Heritage Foundation. ``It is clear that Russia is using it as a counterweight to the West in the conflict and its recognition of South Ossetia.''

While Russia wants diplomatic recognition from members of the group, Volk said such a decision for countries like China and India, which have separatist regions of their own, would amount to ``chopping the branch they sit on.''

The Shanghai organization in recent months has condemned an attempt by Taiwan to seek greater international recognition and unrest in Tibet.

A Taiwanese referendum in March that called for the country to join the United Nations under the name ``Taiwan'' posed a ``threat to stability in the region,'' the organization said. It called protests in Tibet last spring ``illegal actions'' and said it considers Tibet ``an inalienable part'' of China, according to statements on the organization's Web site.

`Big Responsibility'

In addition to Russia and China, the organization includes the former Soviet republics Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, while India, Iran, Pakistan and Mongolia have observer status. The meeting in Dushanbe will discuss terrorism and drug trafficking from Afghanistan, the Kremlin press service said.

The U.K. renewed Western criticism of Russia's actions. Russia has a ``big responsibility'' not to begin a new Cold War over its conflict with Georgia, U.K. Foreign Secretary David Miliband said in a speech at Kyiv-Mohyla university in Ukraine's capital, Kiev.

Miliband accused Russia of trying to ``redraw the map'' of Europe by recognizing the independence of Georgia's two breakaway regions and said the move ``ended the post Cold War period of growing geopolitical calm in and around Europe.''

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov countered that eastward expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is to blame. ``The completely unfounded and unjustified expansion of NATO is leading to this kind of division'' of Europe, he told reporters in Dushanbe.

`Unilateral Change'

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who brokered a cease-fire that ended five days of fighting between Russia and Georgia over South Ossetia earlier this month, said Medvedev's decision, ``which aims at a unilateral change of Georgia's borders, is simply unacceptable.''

Ukraine today refused to recognize Abkhazia and South Ossetia. President Viktor Yushchenko said ``we regret Russia's decision'' on the regions.

Medvedev called his decision an ``obvious'' move to protect his country's borders. Russia's acceptance of the independence of the pro-Moscow regions, which broke away from Georgia in wars in the early 1990s, followed its military drubbing of Georgia after leaders in Tbilisi tried to retake South Ossetia by force.

Russia has deployed peacekeepers in buffer zones that extend into Georgian territory from the Abkhaz and South Ossetian borders. Lavrov said the troops won't remain in these zones ``forever.''

Russian Warships

``At the same time, we'll insist on the provision of secure international control in the regions of Georgia adjacent to them to prevent the Tbilisi regime from preparing for new military schemes,'' Lavrov said. Russia is prepared to discuss an increase in the number of international monitors in the regions, he said.

The missile cruiser ``Moskva'' and two other warships from Russia's Black Sea fleet docked today at the Abkhaz capital Sukhumi on the Russian navy's first ``official visit'' following Medvedev's decision to recognize the region's independence, Interfax reported, citing Garri Kupalba, Abkhazia's deputy defense minister.

Russia has no plans to increase its naval presence in the Black Sea as ships from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization arrive to deliver humanitarian aid to Georgia, Anatoly Nogovitsyn, deputy head of Russia's General Staff, told reporters in Moscow. The arrival of NATO ships is ``aggravating'' the situation in the region, he said.

South Ossetia, about half the size of Puerto Rico, has a population of about 70,000. Russian officials say 2,100 civilians died in recent fighting in the region, which is connected to Russia's North Ossetia region via a tunnel through the Caucasus Mountains.

Abkhazia, slightly larger than the U.S. state of Delaware, has about 200,000 people. Georgia says about 250,000 ethnic Georgians fled a war there in the early 1990s and haven't been allowed to return.

The Middle East, false peace and a baby

News article:


Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas reiterated on Tuesday that any final peace agreement to be reached with
Israel in the future has to be complete and comprehensive.

Abbas told a joint news conference with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice held in Ramallah that "we discussed reaching a full peace deal, and not a partial one that postpones other issues. The solution must be comprehensive."

Rice, who arrived in Israel on Monday held a three-way meeting with Israeli and Palestinian negotiators to preview the latest results of their peace talks, which began after the U.S.-led Annapolis conference in November.

"In fact we don't want to loose any opportunity to reach a comprehensive and full agreement with Israel," Abbas said, stressing that the Israeli settlements activities are "a real obstacle for reaching a final peace agreement."

Both Abbas and Rice agreed that the Administration of U.S. President George W. Bush has worked very hard with the two sides over the past seven years in order to resume the current talks on permanent status issues.

"We have to continue working with the Administration of President Bush in order to reach an agreement. We have to exert every effort within the coming period and not to loose any opportunity to reach an agreement," said Abbas.

Rice stressed that the Israeli settlements activists in the West Bank "don't help to create a proper environment that helps to achieve a progress in the peace negotiations between the two sides."

Both Rice and Abbas were asked about if there was any progress achieved in the talks since Annapolis conference, while the two negotiations teams have been holding intensive talks without announcing that there has been a progress made.

Rice defended the situation and said that "basically, before Annapolis peace conference was held in November, the peace process and the peace talks were completely stopped since 2001."

"I believe that it is fruitful to see both the Israelis and the Palestinians are associated in a process of negotiations. Our job is to keep the momentum and keep working together on all the issues," she added.

Abbas said that "these efforts that we were exerting since Annapolis were not absurd. If it was absurd, we would leave it soon, but we are doing our best and there are benefits that we will get soon in the coming future."

He added that if there will be no final peace deal by the end of the year, we will keep working with the new U.S. Administration in order to finalize a peace deal that leads to establishing a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital."


About the nine months

The prophecy says that the "sudden destruction" will come as the pangs of distress upon a pregnant woman. And as we see from the news, an agreement gets more likely every day.


The period of human pregnancy is usually around 9 months. I believe the limit for this period would be 280 days or 40 weeks.

The Declaration of Peace and Security by Bush and Abbas was given on
November 27, 2007 in the United States, and the date of the first follow-up meeting of the committee was December 12, i.e. 15 days later. If we take the first date, the last day of 40 weeks would be September 2, otherwise we would arrive at September 17.

As the days pass we move ever closer to the
September 30, 2008, which is 1 Etanim (Tishri), The Day of Trumpet, so this "sudden destruction" may now happen at any time.
Who are those involved in the talks about peace and security?

It is necessary to emphasize that the current governments of Israel and Palestine have been manipulated by the "king of the south", the "false prophet", the entity most interested in the establishment of a peace agreement in that area, to carry out their pseudo-messianic plans. The document they want at this stage is to implement the Roadmap promoted by the Quartet. This quartet, as we understand it, is made up of the "four great beasts" of the prophecy of Daniel, under the leadership of the United Nations.

How could this sudden destruction happen to those involved?

I consider the following dangerous scenarios as likely:

· An attack on the sacred areas in Jerusalem by opponents to the peace process, or by forces allied to the "king of the north"

· An attack against the headquarters of the United Nations in New York.

· A nuclear confrontation between the forces of the two "kings" in the Caucasus region.

· A nuclear attack by the "king of the north" against one of NATO countries, which would cause a "coup sword" to European leopard.


The pursuit of this long-awaited peace might prove to be the beginning of the worst calamities faced by humankind.

A cube with 3 sides of 20 cubits


The dimensions of the Most Holy in the
Temple of Solomon is a cube with 20 cubits per side. Since all three dimensions are mentioned, symbolically we can add them up instead of multiplying them.

19 And the innermost room in the interior of the house he prepared inside, to put there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah. 20 And the innermost room was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height; and he proceeded to overlay it with pure gold, and to overlay the altar with cedarwood. (1 Kings 6:19, 20.)

We know that the time of the “Most Holy” is 2012,5 years. These are 735.050 solar days/ By dividing these days by 60, we get 12.250 days. These are exactly 33.54 years or 33 years, 6 months and 14 days. This time period reminds us of the length of the life of Jesus, who was the High Priest to enter into the Most Holy!

Lions and Bears

15 As a growling lion and an onrushing bear is a wicked ruler over a lowly people.. (Proverbs 28:15).

Currently we see a confrontation between two government entities: a winged lion (the Anglo-American axis) and a hungry bear (
Russia). We should thus briefly reconsider some biblical passages.

In the story of David and Goliath, David represents the promised seed and he stands up as the prototype for the chosen people of God, helpless, insignificant in the eyes of Goliath. This giant is a representation of the "disgusting thing causing desolation".

It is interesting to consider that David had previously faced a lion and a bear. Between 1914 and 1918, the
British Empire and the United States, had instigated a severe persecution on the faithful remnant of that time. About 30 years later, at the conclusion of the Second World War, the Soviet Union also relentlessly persecuted true Christians on their territories. Nonetheless, around the time of the fall of the Soviet Union Christian congregations had spread throughout the empire.

Both the British lion and the Russian bear had failed

32 And David proceeded to say to Saul: “Do not let the heart of any man collapse within him. Your servant himself will go and actually fight with this Phi·lis´tine.” 33 But Saul said to David: “You are not able to go against this Phi·lis´tine to fight with him, for you are but a boy, and he is a man of war from his boyhood.” 34 And David went on to say to Saul: “Your servant became a shepherd of his father among the flock, and there came a lion, and also a bear, and [each] carried off a sheep from the drove. 35 And I went out after it and struck it down and made the rescue from its mouth. When it began rising against me, I grabbed hold of its beard and struck it down and put it to death. 36 Both the lion and the bear your servant struck down; and this uncircumcised Phi·lis´tine must become like one of them, for he has taunted the battle lines of the living God.” 37 Then David added: “Jehovah, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, he it is who will deliver me from the hand of this Phi·lis´tine.” At this Saul said to David: “Go, and may Jehovah himself prove to be with you.” (1 Samuel 17:32-37.)

At the end, David hit the Philistine with a stone on his sleeve. That stone represents the
Kingdom of God, that will destroy the monstrous oppressive political system that is to appear on the world stage.

Another passage that gives an idea of the origin of the sufferings for those living during the Day of the Lord is Amos 5:

18 “‘Woe to those who are craving the day of Jehovah! What, then, will the day of Jehovah mean to YOU people? It will be darkness, and no light, 19 just as when a man flees because of the lion, and the bear actually meets him; and [as when] he went into the house and supported his hand against the wall, and the serpent bit him. 20 Will not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light; and will it not have gloom, and not brightness?? (Amos 5:18-20).

We see that those who trusted in the political organizations of the “king of the south, the lion, will try to flee and get protection from organizations that are under the authority of the bear, the “king of the north”, instead of trusting in the Lord to free them from oppression. The wall that is supposed to give them security will be shown to be from the serpent, to be satanic.

Finally, in the following story we have several small boys that mock the prophet Elisa on his way to Bethel. The result of his mockery was really unexpected:

23 And he proceeded to go up from there to Beth´el. As he was going up on the way, there were small boys that came out from the city and began to jeer him and that kept saying to him: “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” 24 Finally he turned behind him and saw them and called down evil upon them in the name of Jehovah. Then two she-bears came out from the woods and went tearing to pieces forty-two children of their number. 25 And he kept going from there to Mount Car´mel, and from there he returned to Sa·mar´i·a. (2 Kings 2:23-25).

The "two she-bears" that come out of the wood refer to the "beast" with “feet like that of a bear” that tramples those who are in the courtyard of the "sanctuary" for 42 months, a child for a month

The acrostic code of the Bible?



This is surely a very interesting concept and we do find the principle of acrostic writing in the Psalms and in Lamentations.

Acrostic (from the late Greek akróstichon, from ákros, "top", and stíchos, "verse") is a poem or other writing in an alphabetic script, in which the first letter, syllable or word of each line, paragraph or other recurring feature in the text spells out another message.

The chronological model of the sanctuary - the timeline in a nutshell!

Well, it seems that the whole history of mankind from the beginning until the coming of the Kingdom of God, is reflected by the sanctuaries that Israel built under divine direction.

First the tabernacle and later the temple sanctuary had two prophetically representative compartments: The Holy and the Most Holy. A careful examination of these two compartments reveals that the Holy measured twice the Most Holy with regard to length…

Many Bible students understand that Jehovah often uses the special to represent the temporal. So I had the idea that the dimensions of this most important architectonical structures might hold a key to the sacred timeline.

It was in fact the Scripture in Revelation 11 that led me to carefully examine this possibility…

11 And a reed like a rod was given me as he said: “Get up and measure the temple [sanctuary] of God and the altar and those worshiping in it. 2 But as for the courtyard that is outside the temple [sanctuary], cast it clear out and do not measure it, because it has been given to the nations, and they will trample the holy city underfoot for forty-two months.

John was urged to measure it in the context of the three woes of the time of the end, so it surely must have some significance in the last days.

Measurements of the Sanctuary

Quote from the book Insight into the Scriptures:

“The Bible describes the tabernacle (evidently inside measurements) as being 30 cubits (13.4 m; 43.7 ft) long and 10 cubits (4.5 m; 14.6 ft) in height. (Compare Ex 26:16-18.) It was also evidently 10 cubits in width […]The Most Holy compartment was apparently a cube 10 cubits on a side”

15 “And you must make the panel frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing on end. 16 Ten cubits is the length of a panel frame, and a cubit and a half is the width of each panel frame. 17 Each panel frame has two tenons joined one to the other. That is the way you will do with all the panel frames of the tabernacle. 18 And you must make the panel frames for the tabernacle, twenty panel frames for the side toward the Neg´eb, to the south. (Exodus 26:15-18)

16 Further, he built twenty cubits at the rear sides of the house with boards of cedar, from the floor up to the rafters, and built for it inside the innermost room, the Most Holy. 17 And it was forty cubits that the house proved to be, that is, the temple in front of it. . . (1 Kings 6:16-17)

2 And the house that King Sol´o·mon built to Jehovah was sixty cubits in its length, and twenty in its width, and thirty cubits in its height. (1 Kings 6:1-2)

8 And he proceeded to make the house of the Most Holy, its length in relation to the width of the house being twenty cubits, and its own width being twenty cubits; and then he covered it with good gold to the amount of six hundred talents. (2 Chronicles 3:8)

Adam and the last Adam

Adam and Jesus are the two key figures as regards the true destiny of man. Jesus was to ransom all of Adam’s offspring to restore mankind back to an acceptable position.

The scriptures describe this ransom as follows:

5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all, which is to be witnessed to at its own particular times (1 Timothy 2).

22 For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive (1 Corinthians 15)

The dates of the beginning of their lives on earth were established by God and he acts so perfectly organized, that all models set forth in the Law he gave to Moses reflect those most significant realities

10 For since the Law has a shadow of the good things to come, but not the very substance of the things, [men] can never with the same sacrifices from year to year which they offer continually make those who approach perfect (Hebrews 10:1.)

The curtain between the Most Holy and the Holy and Jesus’ death

When Jesus laid down his life in 33CE something of remarkable symbolic importance happened in the temple…

51 And, look! the curtain of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rock-masses were split. (Matthew 27)

Paul informs us about a correlation between the temple curtain and Jesus’ body…

19 Therefore, brothers, since we have boldness for the way of entry into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 which he inaugurated for us as a new and living way through the curtain, that is, his flesh. (Hebrews 10:19, 20)

That means that through the death of Jesus the way was opened for human sons of God to enter from the Holy, earth into the Most Holy, heaven.

The calculation

Now the Holy began temporally with the creation of Adam in autumn 4027BC when a human son of God was in existence on earth.

The curtain of the sanctuary represented the earthly life of Jesus Christ, his "flesh". This curtain marked the border of the Holy.

When Jesus was born? Since he died in the month of Nisan 33AD, in the spring, after completing a ministry of three and a half years (a half of a week of years), he was baptized and anointed with holy spirit in the autumn of 29AD. The Bible says that Jesus began his ministry at about 30 years of age, which leads to 2 autumn before the common era as the time for his birth.

Now it is relatively easy to determine that the time period of 4025 years, - the separation between the creation of Adam and the birth of Jesus (4027BC to 2BC), - corresponds with the Holy.

From this we can easily deduce that the whole chronological model of the sanctuary will be completed 2012,5 years after the birth of Jesus.

If we add 2012,5 years to Jesus’ birth in the autumn of the year 2 BC, we will arrive at spring 2012CE as the time at which the model of the Sanctuary is completed and we will also arrive at 2000 years after Jesus was first in the midst of the temple at 12 years of age, in the midst of the teachers. This year might mean his return in Kingdom power.

Revelation 11 reconsidered

Let us read what happens immediately after John measures the sanctuary…

1 And a reed like a rod was given me as he said: “Get up and measure the temple [sanctuary] of God and the altar and those worshiping in it. 2 But as for the courtyard that is outside the temple [sanctuary], cast it clear out and do not measure it, because it has been given to the nations, and they will trample the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. 3 And I will cause my two witnesses to prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days dressed in sackcloth.” 4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands and are standing before the Lord of the earth. (Revelation11)

I find it fascinating that we get this explicit chronological information just after John is told to measure the sanctuary. He must not measure the courtyard though, because it will be trampled upon by the nations for 42 months.

The courtyard is the way that leads to the sanctuary, you walk through the courtyard before you reach the sanctuary. If we take that a bit cryptic, we could deduce that the last 42 months before the sanctuary is fully finished will be controlled or dominated by the nations.

We know from Daniel’s prophecy and Jesus’ words, that during the Great Tribulation the “disgusting thing causing desolation” will be erected and the “constant feature” will cease. Will this oppression on God’s people last for 42 months? It is possible. Since we can expect the glorious completion of the Most Holy with Jesus and the New Covenant saints taking their Kingdom power in spring 2012, 42 months would lead us to autumn 2008 as the time for the start of the Great Tribulation.

The 1335 days

However, the final part of the prophecy of Daniel12 indicates that 1335 days must elapse until the servants of God reach a condition of happiness after the trial period against this system, probably the “Great Tribulation”, began.

“And from the time that the constant [feature] has been removed and there has been a placing of the disgusting thing that is causing desolation, there will be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. Happy is the one who is keeping in expectation and who arrives at the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days! (Daniel 12:11, 12.)

This 1335 days or the 1290 days respectively could begin sometime between August 5, 2008 and September 30, 2008. Why?

25 And upon every high mountain and upon every elevated hill there must come to be streams, water ditches, in the day of the big slaughter when the towers fall.
26 And the light of the full moon must become as the light of the glowing [sun]; and the very light of the glowing [sun] will be [for] 7 times, like the light of 7 days, in the day that Jehovah binds up the breakdown of his people and heals even the severe wound resulting from the stroke by him (Isaiah 30 - New World Translation adapted from the Hebrew)

Now the event that paved the way for the “war on terror”, the event that allowed the “hawks” in the US congress to destroy civil liberties and to start to push their global agenda against the offspring of Edom, was 911. This administration is about to lose it’s power in November. So we can suppose that the real “great tribulation” starts 7 times or years after the setup event. Now there are a couple of different possible dates for these “7 years”.

Here is an overview over the wide range of meanings that these “7 times” of Isaiah 3 can have:

If they stand for 7 real lunar years (2480 days), they ended on June 26/27 2008, that is 1,600 days before the total solar eclipse on November 13, 2012. (EXPIRED)

If they stand for 7 prophetic years (of 360 days), they ended on August 5/6, 2008, that is 1,600 days before 22/23 December 2012 one day after the total lunar eclipse of December21, 2012. (EXPIRED)

If they stand for 7 years of 360 full days, including one intercalary month (2550 days), they end September 4/5, 2008.

If they stand for 7 solar years, they expire on September 11, 2008. This date corresponds to Elul11 of the lunar calendar and to Elul8 on the BLC (idealized lunar calendar with 30 days each month).

If they stand for 7 lunar years, with the adjustment of a intercalary month from Elul24 2001 (the day of the fall of the Twin Towers), they will expire on September 23/24 2008, about the autumn equinox. From September 23/24, 2008 there are 1,335 days until May 20, 2012 , the day of the annular eclipse.

If they stand for 7 lunar years, with the adjustment of a intercalary month from Etanim1 (Tishri1) 2001 (September 17/18), they will end on Etanim1 2008 (September 30). 1335 days starting from there would take us to Pentecost 2012 (May 27, 2012.)

All these dates seem to produce interesting coincidences. It remains to be seen how this "stroke" is 'healed' around one of those date.

September 4 and Annapolis

On September 4, 2008 2,520 days since October 11, 2001 and 2550 days since September 11, 2001. are fulfilled. In both cases we talk about seven years according to the timetable of 360 days, with and without an intercalary month.

Every 6 years of 360 days the insertion of a month is required with the aim to synchronize the years of 360 days with the solar calendar.


September 4, 2008 coincides with the 5th of the sixth month (Elul). It could be a day marked by the prophecy of Ezekiel 8:1, when God's judgment begins against his own sanctuary.

Since September 4 is chained to the Twin Tower incident from several angles, it is possible that this date has a connection with New York City.

There is another peculiarity associated with this date.

If we read 1 Thessalonians 5:3 carefully, we see that this cry of “Peace and Security” is somewhat compared to a pregnancy period…

3 Whenever it is that they are saying: “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them just as the pang of distress upon a pregnant woman; and they will by no means escape. (1. Thessalonians5)

Well, the standard human pregnancy period is 40 weeks and great talk about peace and security was heard at the Annapolis Peace Conference when both president Bush and president Abbas used this phrase in their final statements. If this baby of peace and security was conceived at the Conference of Annapolis, 27/28 November 2007, 40 weeks would end September 2/3, so just 1 day before Elul 5.

9 true lunar months end on 19/20 August.
9 months of 30 days end on 23/24 August.
40 weeks end on September 2/3. [This date is still dangerous.]

The 1600 furlongs – Joel3 & Revelation14

On the other hand, the Bible says that the Day of Jehovah's trial against the nations happens in "the low plain of Jehoshaphat." Jehoshaphat means "Jehovah is Judge."

“Let the nations be aroused and come up to the low plain of Jehoshaphat; for there I shall sit in order to judge all the nations round about. (Joel 3:12.)

The prophecy also associates "the low plain of Jehoshaphat" with a winery that is trampled. Look carefully at the symbolism that is used.

“THRUST in a sickle, for harvest has grown ripe. Come, descend, for [the] winepress has become full. The press vats actually overflow; for their badness has become abundant. Crowds, crowds are in the low plain of the decision, for the day of Jehovah is near in the low plain of the decision. (Joel 3:13, 14)

Now compare this with a explicitly similar prophecy in the Book of Revelation.

And still another angel emerged from the altar and he had authority over the fire. And he called out with a loud voice to the one that had the sharp sickle, saying: “Put your sharp sickle in and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, because its grapes have become ripe.” And the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and he hurled it into the great winepress of the anger of God. And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress as high up as the bridles of the horses, for a distance of a thousand six hundred furlongs [stadia]. (Revelation 14:18-20)

Since the Bible associates measures of length (cubits, furlongs, stadia) with measures of time, it appears that these 1600 furlongs are actually 1600 days. This would be the duration of the Jehovah's Day of judgment.

Jehovah's Day possibly starts with the outlawing of religious systems in the world and ends with the confinement of Satan and his angels into an abyss for a thousand years. Now this next bit is really crazy: If we add 1600 solar days to August 5/6, 2008 (when the Russian “bear” got up) we arrive on December 21, 2012, a date that the anti-religious people of the New Age movement are giving publicity as the end of an era. This development, it seems, is a false sign and might mean the end of the devil's influence in the world.

These 1600 days appear to correspond with the 40 days of the Flood, the trial of the ancient world. In reality 1600 days are 40 times 40 days, 40 squared or taken to a higher dimension. This might be the period in which all opponents of the Kingdom of God are completely eliminated.

Further evidence:

As mentioned, the chronological separation between the first year of Adam and the first year of Jesus is 4025 years, and that between the first year of Jesus and the beginning of the power of the Kingdom of the Messiah is 2012.5 years.


Apart from the 4025 years, also another number of years seems to be quite important: 1975. Why? That is the amount of years the 4025 years lack to reach 6000 years the six days of human rulership before we get the Sabbath rest of God’s Kingdom.

A temporal correspondence?

5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all -- [this is] what is to be witnessed to at its own particular times (1 Timothy 2).

45 It is even so written: 'The first man Adam became a living soul.' The last Adam became a life-giving spirit (1 Corinthians 15).

1. Timothy 2 tells us that this correspondence involved particular times, and therefore was a temporal correspondence. Furthermore it says that it is a witness to appointed times. So the ransomer and the ransomee have a temporal correspondence which is witnessed to repeatedly at various appointed times. What is this temporal correspondence? Well the significant dates in Jesus life are...

Jesus died on 33Nisan14 (April 1) and he was born on 2Tishri10 BC (October 9)

So really is Adam is going to correspond to Jesus temporally he must have had a corresponding life course. So Jesus’ life up to his ransom corresponded temporally with Adam's up to his sin requiring a ransom. Now Jesus died 33½ years after he was born. So could Adam have sinned 33½ years after he was born? This temporal correspondence acts as a witness to Jesus' life being a ransom for Adam

If Adam was created in 4027Tishri, he sinned in 3993Nisan, 33½ years later, in the same month that Jesus paid for his sin, Nisan. Now 6,000 years after 3993Nisan, the “founding of the world”, is 2008Nisan (there was no 0 BC, it went 1BC then 1AD).

Adam Adam Sins Jesus Born Jesus Pays for Sin
4027Tishri 3993Nisan 2 Tishri10 BC 33 Nisan 14
X_________X X___________X
33½ years 33½ years

This explains why Abraham was born 1975 years after the eviction from Eden, and why there are 1975 years from the inauguration of the Covenant of Abraham until the New Covenant comes into force, and why there are 1975 years from the New Covenant until 2008.

So the timing of the Sanctuary model confirms that:


· Abraham was born in 2018 Nisan.

· The Covenant of Abraham was inaugurated in Nisan 1943BC

· The New Covenant was inaugurated in Nisan 33 AD

· The final test on the seed of Abraham by faith begins in 2008.

We can find some more symmetry. There are…

· 4025 years from the Edenic Covenant (3993 BC) to the New Covenant (33AD)

· 4025 years from the birth of Abraham (2018 BC) until 2008AD

· 2050 yrs. from the Edenic Covenant 3993BC until the Covenant of Abraham 1943BC

· 2050 years from the birth of Abraham (2018 BC) until the New Covenant (33AD)

The sanctuaries

The first temple represented Adam and the second temple represented Jesus. That means that there is also a chronological relationship between those physical and human temples:

· There are 3000 years of separation between the first year of Adam (autumn 4027 BC) and the inauguration of the temple of Solomon (autumn 1026/1027BC)

· There are 1025 years of separation between the inauguration of the temple of Solomon (autumn 1027BC) and the first year of Jesus (autumn 2BC)

The Bible indicates that the first temple began to be built in the 4th year of Solomon, in spring 1034BC. The construction lasted seven years and ended in spring 1027BC. The inauguration took place in Tishri 1027BC. After this event, the temple was completed, with all its details at the beginning of the month of Bul (Heshvan) 1027BC .

The division of the kingdom might have happened in 997 BCE precisely 30 years after the inauguration of the temple. This started a trial period for Israel. Jeroboan, the king of the northern tribes, typified Satan, who led the northern tribes away from worship based on the temple in Jerusalem. He established a false festival on 15th of Bul 997BC.


The temple of Solomon was desecrated for the first time in the spring of 993BC, in the 5th year of Rehoboam king of Judah, precisely 33.5 years after its inauguration. This corresponds to the desecration of Adam by Satan when he was 33.5 years.

The inauguration of the temple, the division of the kingdom and the desecration of the sanctuary, all these events took place exactly 3000 years after the creation of Adam, his sanctification on his 30th birthday and his sin respectively.


Summary

We could see 2008, maybe Nisan14, as the year/date the entrance in the Covenant of Abraham ends/ended.

2008Elul30 might mark the exact end of Satan’s 6000 year official lease.

2008Elul? might see the begin of the Great Tribulation ignited by Satan, lasting for 3,5 years.

2008Elul/Tishri might see the start of the Day of Jehovah, a Judgment Day of 1600 days.

2012, maybe spring, would mark the end of the Great Tribulation through Satan, maybe some special protection kicks in for 265 days. The faithful are happy/blessed after the 1335 days and are spared from the remaining plagues.

The Great Tribulation and the “Day of Jehovah” respectively is the period between the end of Satan’s 6000 year lease and the full blessing of the Kingdom stating (the completion of the sanctuary).
