The Last Heavenly Sign Before the Rapture?

The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. - Psalm 97:6 KJV

God has been declaring His intentions in the heavenlies since their creation and, in my thinking, exponentially so in the last five years (see The Heavenly Signs of 2018 and 2017 and Unsealed.org).

Quoting Mark Biltz:

“Throughout history God, the Master Timekeeper,

has used the heavenly bodies to communicate to us

when significant events will happen.”

Super Moon Trio--Completion

According to EarthSky, in 2019 we’ll have a series of 3 full supermoons on January 21, February 19 and March 21. As I was writing this article, I remembered my 3 Supermoons Dream and wondered if it referred to these three supermoons of 2019 instead of the 2017-2018 moons!

The January 21 Supermoon was called a Super Blood Wolf Moon and was referred to as a harbinger. Many of us (including me) were hoping to meet our Heavenly Bridegroom that night; but, as I wrote before, perhaps the blood moon seen by believers in dreams and visions is one that will be caused by the tumult of volcanoes and pillars of fire as Daniel’s 70^th Week/The Tribulation begins (as intimated by Joel 2:30). In essence, it may be an unscheduled blood moon.

Now coming up the evenings of February 18 and 19 there will be another Super Moon. What’s so special about this one?

Location, location, location!

Last year, in 2018, the month of February had no full moon at all. But this year’s February presents the biggest full moon supermoon of 2019. By the way, that bright star accompanying the February supermoon is none other than Regulus, the brightest star in the constellation Leo the Lion. earthsky.org

Many are already familiar with the Moon being a symbol of the Virgin Bride and the constellation Leo as a representation of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, the Lion of Judah. So here is a picture of the Bride of Christ entering the heart of the Lion of Judah, Her Heavenly Bridegroom!

One of the Closest since 1948!

The perigee of the February 18-19 Super Moon gives it the honor of being listed among the closest to the Earth since 1948—the year of the replanting of the fig tree nation, Israel!

But it was the Nov. 14, 2016 one that got the most attention because it was the closest supermoon in recent memory. The moon's perigee was 221,524 miles (356,508 kilometers) from Earth, making it the closest full moon to Earth in 69 years — specifically, since the supermoon of Jan. 26, 1948. space.com

After November 14, 2016, the extra-close coincidence of full moon and perigee didn’t happen again until January 1-2, 2018.

Extra-close supermoons (less than 357,000 km)

God to Inspect Israel After 70 Years

God is pointing out the completion of Israel’s 70^th year! Remember these other crucial anniversaries in February I previously wrote about:

. . . Israel declared its independence on May 14, 1948; however, February 14, 1949, was when the Knesset first met—on Tu B’Shevat. Could THIS be the date God chose to mark Israel’s actual beginning?

This led me to look up other dates associated with the replanting of the Fig Tree Nation from knesset.gov.il:

14.2.1949	The first sitting of the Constituent Assembly was held. Joseph Shprinzak was elected as Speaker of the Assembly.
16.2.1949	The Constituent Assembly ratified the Transition Law, which changed its name to the First Knesset, and elected Chaim Weizmann as the first President of the State.
17.2.1949	Inauguration ceremony of Chaim Weizmann as President of the State of Israel.
8.3.1949	David Ben Gurion formed the First Government.

March 21 Purim Supermoon

The third supermoon to close out the trio will be seen March 20-21—the days of one of the most joyous festivals—Purim!

I shared in The Die is Cast article how the religious leaders in Israel are expecting their Messiah to come (the first time) on Purim this year and how this could possibly point to the Resurrection/Rapture of the Overcoming Church occurring then!

On the Hebrew calendar Purim begins at sunset March 20 and is observed until sunset March 21. 2019 Season of the Green Figs

2019 Season of the Green Figs

The number 3 is used in Scripture to mean “completion”. Is the Supermoon Trio God’s sign to mark the COMPLETION OF THE CHURCH AGE OF GRACE? I certainly hope so and believe the evidence heavily favors the possibility of a 2019 Spring Wedding!

February 9, 2019 ADDENDUM: Just as the earth’s groanings are becoming more frequent, so too the heavenly declarations!  It is truly difficult to keep up with everything, so forgive me for just now adding this news about Comet Iwamoto (C/2018 Y1) which is also making its appearance this month of February. (Many thanks to Sheila B. for bringing this to light.)

A fast-moving comet, C/2018 Y1 (Iwamoto), is nearing its February encounter with the sun and Earth. . .

The best nights for observing the comet (with binoculars and small telescopes) should be on February 11 and 12, but is already visible with optical aid.  Recent estimates suggest the newly found comet might reach a brightness or magnitude between 6.5 and 7.5 , which means it should be easily seen with small telescopes and binoculars. It will not be visible to the eye alone. earthsky.org

During February 11 and 12 this comet will pass through the HEART OF LEO.

The comet offers an exquisite sight shortly after nightfall on Wednesday, February 13, 2019. Comet C/2018 Y1 (Iwamoto) will pass very close to NGC 2903, a beautiful galaxy in Leo.  Although the encounter’s timing favors observers in Europe and Africa, sky enthusiasts in America will also see the comet passing close to the galaxy, if they have their telescopes ready at nightfall. This view will be amazing. earthsky.org

Remembering that comets are used by God for signs, it is worth noting that this faintly green fast traveler is not visible to the naked eye; therefore, only those with spiritual eyes will see its significance relative to the last days. Like Comet 46P/Wirtanen (see More Heavenly Signs of 2018) , this is a newly discovered comet. Wirtanen was meant to be seen for it represents the coming River of Wrath, however, Comet Iwamoto is meant to be noticed primarily by the Bride.

The Stone of Origin

In the surname Iwamoto Behind the Name states Iwa means "Stone" and Moto means "Origin".

In the Old Testament the coming of The Stone was foretold:

The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner. - Psalm 118:22 KJV

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. - Isaiah 28:16 KJV

In the New Testament He was revealed:

This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. - Acts 4:11 KJV

Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. - 1 Peter 2:6 KJV

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [even to them] which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. - 1 Peter 2:8 KJV

And He is The Stone that destroys the Antichrist’s Kingdom in the vision of Daniel:

Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream [is] certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. - Daniel 2:45 KJV

Our Strong and Noble Bridegroom

Comet Iwamoto will pass very close to NGC 2903, a beautiful galaxy in Leo. Out of curiosity, I looked up in the concordance Strongs G2903 and found kratistos which means “strongest, noblest, most excellent”.

Need I write more? We who have bound ourselves to our Noble Bridegroom will soon be at His side and will then join Him as He dashes to pieces the false kingdoms of the earth and sets up His Millennial Kingdom as Revelation 19 foretells.

Oh come, Mighty Prince, come!

8/31/19 Update

The following Comment I posted at Rev12daily Blogspot continues the Sign of the Supermoons as shared in the above article, so I wanted to share it here to encourage all who are watching for our Bridegroom:

Lyn MelvinAugust 30, 2019 at 12:53 PM

Ok, Brethren and Sister-en--
Haven't been able to read all of your wonderful informative comments above, but has anyone put together info re. this month of August's BLACK SUPERMOON?

Just watched this Youtube video:
SciFriday: Hurricane Dorian, the Black Supermoon, and Rolling AI Avatars
https://youtu.be/rqXXiy1LYrE

Their video explains why it is called "Black" and "Super".

EarthSky's article describes it as the: "Year’s closest new supermoon August 30":
https://earthsky.org/tonight/years-closest-new-supermoon-august-30

Not only that but Forbes wrote this article:
"This Week’s ‘New Black Supermoon’ Will Make A River Go Backwards And Bring 'King' Tides"
Link:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2019/08/27/this-weeks-new-black-supermoon-will-make-a-river-go-backwards-and-cause-king-tides/#2c352a2069a2

With the HUGE SIGNIFICANCE OF SEPTEMBER 2019, all this caught my attention. Then I remembered what Mike Young, a pastor/watchman, commented in one of my articles:

"After that vision I realized that Yeshua was telling me that He was coming back sooner than I thought and that when I saw the moon so very close to the earth would be the time when He would return for His Bride..."

It was in this article:
https://lynmelvin.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-last-heavenly-sign-before-rapture.html

That was the article I shared about the 3 Supermoons of 2019. Now we are having this BLACK SUPERMOON today that may bring KING TIDES! I've been hoping God would show something significant related to:

The Peace Deal in September
Israel's Re-do Election in September
2-Year Warning ends in September

I think this is it!

As most of you know, the moon is a symbol of the Church Bride. May this UNSEEN BLACK MOON--the closest to the Earth this year--be the sign that She will be swept away by Her Lord and KING in September 2019!

WOOHOO!!!

   JeováAugust 30, 2019 at 1:14 PM

   Lyn, only sharing...
   
   This year began with three full super moons, the first on 21 January, the second on 19 February, and the third on 21 March. This cycle will now end with three new super moons on 1 August. , on 30 August, and 28 September. While the North American Continent saw the Black New Supermoon on July 31, the two remaining phenomena will happen this time in Europe, respectively, on the last two dates noted earlier.
   
   LOOKING UP!!!
   MARANATHA!!!

More Heavenly Signs of 2018

Brethren, the signs are not over for this year. I was drawn this morning to watch What's Going on With Jupiter? by the Youtube Channel Nemesis Maturity—a channel I am not familiar with. 

As I watched it, I began to realize why Paul Dawson (REVELATIONCHAPTER12 YT) got so excited in his November 13 video about what is being dubbed as “the comet of the year”—the Comet 46P/Wirtanen. I also remembered how Perry Stone taught on the significance of comets as signs of God (see Perry Stone Comets).  This comet, discovered by three amateur astronomers a few weeks ago, appears to be a FIRST-TIME VISITOR TO THE INNER SOLAR SYSTEM.

In the above-mentioned Nemesis Maturity video, a solar conjunction involving Earth and the planet Jupiter is explained. Evidently, beginning today—November 26—Jupiter will be behind the Sun making it unobservable for several weeks. . . hmmmm. At the same time, here comes Comet 46P!

There’s more! In early December Jupiter will appear as a morning star below Venus (more on that later in this article). And one more thing that caught my attention—Jupiter will be visible the entire night when it reaches opposition in about 6 months. That is the same time as Israel’s 70^th Anniversary Year ends!

All this is occurring as we near the Season of Lights, Hanukkah.

Because it seems that Father God has ‘scheduled’ several signs in the heavens to occur in conjunction with major Jewish holidays in recent years to get the attention of Israel, I went to chabad.org and found that Chanukah or Hanukkah this year begins at nightfall on December 2 continuing until nightfall on December 10.   

I do not pretend to know what this all means, but here are some fascinating facts that could give rise to prophetic implications:

The River of Wrath

The name of Comet 46P/Wirtanen comes from the Finnish surname Virtanen meaning “river”. This reminded me of what I had read in The Witness of the Stars about Eridanus—The River of the Judge! E. W. Bullinger writes that Eridanus is an immense constellation that issues forth from the down-coming foot of Orion and represents “the river of wrath breaking forth for His enemies”. (For more on Orion see The Heavenly Signs of 2018.)

In early December the comet will appear in the constellation Taurus at its closest approach to Earth. Bullinger writes of the sign Taurus in The Witness of the Stars:

The picture is that of a Bull rushing forward with mighty energy and fierce wrath, his horns set so as to push his enemies, and pierce them through and destroy them.

It is a prophecy of Christ, the coming Judge, and Ruler, and “Lord of all the earth”.

Remember, the seven year Tribulation/Daniel’s 70^th Week begins with “the wrath of the Lamb” (Revelation 6:16).

The Morning Star then the Sun

Along the horizon the morning star appears shortly before the sun comes up. Both the morning star and the sun are symbols of The Son of God:

When the Rapture is mentioned, when He is talking about His church, He depicts Himself not only as the offspring of David but also as the “bright and morning star.”

I, Jesus, have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. (Revelation 22:16)

Now when He is speaking to Israel, the symbol is altogether different.

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up like calves of the stall. (Malachi 4:2)

To the church He is the “bright and morning star.” To Israel and the Gentile world during the Great Tribulation, He will be the “Sun of righteousness.” Dr. J. Vernon McGee blb commentary

It would appear that Father God planned it that way because in the end He will send The Morning Star to collect His Bride first and then after The Tribulation have His Son return to earth as The Sun of Righteousness to establish His Kingdom.

Many confuse the Rapture with the Second Coming especially while reading Matthew 24.

At the Rapture, believers are removed; at the Revelation, unbelievers are removed. At the Rapture, there are no signs; at the Revelation, there are many signs. In fact, Matthew 24 answers the question as to the signs of His coming to the earth to establish His kingdom. . .

Also, we need to observe that at the Rapture there is no angel ministry. This may seem like a very unimportant detail, but it is noticeable.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. (1 Thessalonians 4:16)

Now, my friend, what you have at the Rapture is the Lord Jesus coming Himself to get His church, His bride. . . He will not send an angel to get us; He will come for us Himself!

However, at the Revelation there is an angel ministry. It is mentioned in the Olivet Discourse where it belongs:

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Matthew 24:30, 31)

When He returns to the earth to establish His kingdom, He sends out His angels. Angels had ministered in the Old Testament to the Israelites, and the Law was given by the ministry of angels (see Acts 7:53). So here at the end, God sends His angels to gather those who will enter into the kingdom. It has nothing to do with the Rapture, you see. It is altogether different from that. Dr. J. Vernon McGee blb commentary

Another point to be made here is that Matthew 24:31 is using “harvest” language that refers to the “gleanings”. I pointed this out in an article I wrote earlier this year—Event Horizon--The Sign of the Son of Man:

(1) Matthew 24:30 records that the tribes of the earth SEE the Son of man with their natural eyes. This happens when Jesus comes as KING of kings TO the earth. The harpazo or rapture is an event when the dead and living in Christ meet Jesus IN THE AIR.

(2) The second reason I believe verse 30 is at the end of the Tribulation period is that the following verse 31 refers to the very last part of a Hebrew harvest:

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. - Matthew 24:31 KJV

The “four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” refers to the four corners of the earth. The corners of a field were always left for the poor to glean from (see Deuteronomy). Jesus sends his angels to these four corners to gather together the elect—those who believed on the Messiah during the Tribulation.

Perry Stone does an excellent job explaining how the end time harvest is compared to the three main crops harvested in Israel in the video 3 PART HARVEST OF SOULS & RAPTURE EXPLAINED IN 15 MIN!

This is why I believe Matthew 24:30 is referring to an event seen by the people left on earth after the rapture of the Church Bride, for the Bride meets the Lord in the air as the FIRST part of the harvest of souls which will occur before the Tribulation begins.

  

Now at the Rapture the church is raised, and those in Christ — whether they be the living or the dead in Christ — are changed, and they enter the New Jerusalem. While at the Revelation, the Old Testament saints and the Great Tribulation saints are raised to enter the kingdom. The time is different. We need to recognize that. We are told in Matthew’s record:

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. (Matthew 25:34)

They are to enter into the kingdom here upon this earth, and the Great Tribulation saints are going to be included.

In the Book of Revelation John records:

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them; and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (Revelation 20:4)

Where did they reign? Well, here on this earth.

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection; on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. (Revelation 20:5, 6)

This is a very important passage of Scripture, you see. It shows again that the Rapture and the Revelation are quite different. Dr. J. Vernon McGee blb commentary

Before the Decree

As I’ve shared before, I believe our Last Day is directly related to The Deal of the Century. The Jerusalem Post reported TRUMP DELAYS PEACE PLAN UNTIL FEBRUARY.

There are things going on behind the scenes in the geopolitical realm that we common folk are not privy to unless revealed to us by the Holy Spirit. I am hoping that that is the case as related to the Mideast Peace Plan; and I am also hoping that the peace plan is what the Scriptures are referring to in Zephaniah:

Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;

Before the decree bring forth, [before] the day pass as the chaff,

before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you.

Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness:

 it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.

For Gaza shall be forsaken,

and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up. Zephaniah 2:1-4 KJV

I have been seeing these verses mentioned by Colleen Minter and also recently by Sharon Gilbert, a very intelligent Sister in Christ I have grown to admire who usually appears with her husband on Skywatch TV. Sharon brought up Zephaniah 2 as related to the future of Gaza in a recent Jim Bakker Show. Jeff's article at Unsealed.org was the first time I saw this section of Scripture mentioned: Zephaniah 2:1–3: A Promising Pre-Trib Prophecy Hidden In Plain Sight.

Season of Lights Out?

Jeff also wrote an article last year at this time titled Hanukkah Harbinger--When the Light of the World Goes Out. Here are some excerpts:

The original Hanukkah is also a harbinger of an even greater time of distress for Jacob (Jer. 30:7; Matt. 24:21-22)—a time that is fast approaching and near upon us. The ruthless "king of the North," Antiochus IV, is a textbook prototype of the coming Antichrist, right down to his self-deification and desecration of the temple in Jerusalem (c.f. Matt. 24:15; 2 Thess. 2:4; Rev. 13:5-7, 13-14). This ancient Greco-Syrian tyrant provides us with a template for the future "abomination of desolation" spoken of by the prophet Daniel and reiterated by the Lord Jesus (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24:15).

. . . Today, Israel's darkest hour looms before us. This year we've already seen the great sign of Revelation 12:1-2 fulfilled in the sky overhead; a sure-fire sign indicating the extreme nearness of the 70th week.

Indeed, the Overcoming Church’s time here on earth is quickly waning as the end of Israel’s 70^th Anniversary Year closes in.

It is said by Perry Stone and by others who have received insight into our Last Day that when we, who represent The Light of the World, are harpazo-ed the earth will be enveloped in Darkness. This explosive resurrection/rapture of the Overcoming Church will be similar to when our Savior resurrected from the dead causing an Event Horizon. Like a worldwide EMP attack, the world will instantly go black and even blacker as demonic entities descend and ascend upon the earth and the River of Wrath will flow beginning with the wrath of the Lamb.

Jaco shares (in The RAPTURE: The Deal of the Century about to be Revealed and its Timing) that in studying the heavenly configuration shown in the last scene of I Pet Goat II on Stellarium, it is pointing to the last days of Hanukkah this year, which is also known as The Second Feast of Tabernacles. The eighth day of Hanukkah would thus be TheLast Great Day!

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. - John 6:39-40 KJV

[Excerpt from BIRTHright!]

Not that the Rapture must happen during Hanukkah—The Season of Light (or any holiday for that matter); HOWEVER, many of the brethren have been shown a correlation of the Rapture with The Last Great Day.

Zola Levitt points out that Chanukah has to do with the eternal light of God and that it is a symbol of the entire system of the Seven Feasts of the Lord:

. . . This added festival clearly left a great symbol to the whole system. Beyond Tabernacles—beyond the Kingdom—we have eternity with God.

 This then is the fulfillment of the eternal light.

The Seven Feasts of Israel

As with all the Hebraic holidays, Hanukkah foreshadowed the Messiah pointing to Him as The Coming Light of the World. The thought of The Bright and Morning Star possibly coming for us on The Last Great Day is what I will hold onto as we celebrate The Festival of Light. Let us enter this season shouting. . .

The Spirit and The Bride Say Come!

The Heavenly Signs of 2018

[Seek him] that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD [is] his name: - Amos 5:8 KJV

Laughing at the Idea

In my previous article, I shared how the earth has been preparing for a birth and that I believe God has called me to be like a doula or midwife and stand alongside the brethren as we await our deliverance out of the prophetic Egypt of the world system by way of the Resurrection/Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 1 Corinthians 15:52-55). 

The earth’s Braxton-Hicks contractions are seen in the exponential increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and hurricanes.  Jacob Israel points out in his September 10, 2018, video that the three storms that have currently been forming in the Atlantic Ocean paint a prophetic picture for us. Florence, meaning “to blossom”, Isaac meaning “laughter”, and Helene meaning “light” could be interpreted as “You will blossom and laugh when the Light comes”.

Remember the Biblical account of Sarah laughing when she heard that she would bear a son in her old age? Sarah’s laughter is a foreshadowing of the name of the child who was to come—Isaac, which means “laughter.” After giving birth to her much-desired son, Sarah explains her experience with God in a play on words: “God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh over me. . . Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have born him a son in his old age’” (Genesis 21:6-7).

Many laugh at the idea of all these signs pointing to the birth of the “man child” (the Overcoming Church), but it is going to happen for God has promised it (Revelation 12:5)! (For more on who is the “man child”, read A Study of the Man Child and Unsealed’s article Major Discovery Concerning Revelation 12.)

A woman in labor to give birth endures much; but when the child is born, when her “blossom” produces fruit, she “laughs” and rejoices! Jesus Himself spoke of the coming joyous birth of the man child:

Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. John 16:19-21 KJV

  

Orion Heralds Return of Sirius

Orion, the Coming Prince

Before the storm named Florence clouded up our Mid-Atlantic skies, I was enjoying looking up at the early morning sky and exalting at the magnificence of the constellation Orion with sparkling Sirius just below him near the horizon. This is YHWH’s reminder that Oarion, The Prince and Light of the World, is coming! Sirius, referred to in ancient times as The Morning Star, reminds us that His Overcomers have been promised The Morning Star!

And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

And I will give him the morning star. - Revelation 2:26-28 KJV

(Refer to Consider the Heavens for related information.)

Sign of the Dragon

BEFORE the man child mentioned in Revelation 12 is caught up to heaven, however, first comes a Dragon!

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven,

and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. Revelation 12:1-4 KJV

Gary of unsealed.org did a study and found what may be the heavenly sign of the coming Revelation 12:4 event. Here is an excerpt:

#4 - As someone has already pointed out, the Draconids meteor shower will be at its peak on October 7th and 8th, one week after Shemini Atzeret, and the shower may be particularly spectacular this year since the moon will be almost completely dark.  The prophecy states that the dragon's tail will sweep one-third of the stars of Heaven to the earth.  The stars of course represent the fallen angels (Rev. 12:7–9), but I can think of no better visualization than shooting stars, which look like stars falling to earth.

#5 - The talk of late has focused on the Draconids, but as I was studying this I noticed that three other meteor showers will be happening at the exact same time on October 7th and 8th: the Aurigids, Orionids, and Sextantids (I wonder how rare that is?) and all three will be directly along or in the vicinity of the dragon and its tail. . .

Now let's back up a few weeks to September 11th and the Feast of Trumpets.  At precisely 2:30 AM local time in Israel on Yom Teruah, Comet 21P will leave the boundaries of Auriga—appearing to exit this doorway into Heaven.  Why does that matter?  Because it just so happens that Comet 21P is what causes the Draconids that everyone has been talking about.  It's these meteors that many have speculated represent the stars that the dragon's tail sweeps down.

Side note: It's interesting that Comet 21P was named after its discoverer Michel Giacobini, whom discovered it exactly 43,000 days (inclusive) of this Rosh Hashanah when it comes out of Auriga.  Michel = Michael and Giacobini = an old Italian variant of Jacob.  It's the archangel Michael that kicks satan out of Heaven and satan's descent signals The Time of Jacob's Trouble. . .

2. On Shemini Atzeret (or maybe one or two days later, depending on which calendar you use), just one week before the sign of the dragon, Venus stops...

And where did Venus stop?  Right below Virgo's feet, not that far from where the story left off on November 13, 2017 when Jupiter and Venus had their close conjunction (the meeting "in the air").  For the next approximately 40 days, Venus will appear to travel in reverse along the ecliptic, back towards Heaven.  Could this represent the male child being caught up?

Thus, we can see now that all the key players are in place for the completion of the sign of the dragon.  Revelation 12:4 indicates that the dragon is waiting to devour the child, but after the child's birth in v. 5, the child escapes to safety—caught up by God into Heaven.  The fact that Venus will be under the feet of Virgo, near and parallel with Serpens (the seven heads of the dragon) at the same time as four separate meteor showers are occurring along the path of the dragon, completes the picture.  The dragon is set to strike, but instead the child is caught up and the dragon's stars "fall".

THE RED DRAGON Part II/unsealed.org

I agree with some of the comments to Gary's article that he has captured the heavenly sign we have been looking for that indicates the actual event is coming. The events of Revelation Chapter 12 are both physical AND spiritual. Just as the September 2017 Sign of the Woman is the heavenly picture of Revelation 12:1-2 and foretells the coming time of Jacob's Trouble--The Tribulation, so does the October 7-8, 2018 sign Gary so eloquently describes foretell the coming casting down of Satan at the time that Planet X affects earth with its destructive force.

Triumphantly the Scriptures proclaim that the dragon is thwarted in his attack of the man child and instead the child is caught up and the dragon's stars “fall”:

And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne. Revelation 12:4-5 KJV

Revelation 12 Sign Continues

No one to this day can determine the exact hour a child will be born if it is a natural birth. God knows when that life is conceived and when that life will be born (Isaiah 66:9). So, too, only Father God knows when the Overcoming Man Child will be born resulting in the manifestation of the Revelation 12:5 Event.

This is true traditionally of the Hebrew wedding day for #Only the Father knows  when all is ready and sends his son to fetch the bride—another prophetic picture of the harpazo of the Bride of Christ. #No man knows the day and hour is an idiom referring to The Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah. Will the Revelation 12:5 harpazo occur at this year’s Feast of Trumpets?

Scott Clarke is one of many who believe the Resurrection/Rapture of the Overcoming Church will occur on this feast day, but not necessarily this year. Along with Sandy Armstrong of the Soldiers For Christ YT Channel, Scottie presents in his Feast Of Trumpets 2018 | October Surprise video that October is when The Feast of Trumpets should be commemorated this year, not September!

The Last Trump

The “last trump” is a phrase that also has become associated with The Feast of Trumpets. In Leviticus 23:24 God called for a festival where there would be a blowing of trumpets but did not define precisely how it should be fulfilled. This zikrown tĕruw`ah was to be a “remembrance memorial” of “sounding an alarm or blast of war or shout of joy”.

At around the 5:00 minute mark of his Rosh haShanah, Rapture, Yom Kippur, Tabernacles video, John Fenn explains where the tradition of sounding a shofar (a trumpet made from a ram’s horn) and not a silver trumpet came from citing Rabbi Eliezer (Pirke De-Rabbi Eliezer). When God provided a ram in substitution for Isaac (Genesis 22:13), the left horn of the ram caught in the thicket is called the “first trump” and refers to when the shofar was blown at Mount Sinai when God dispersed His Word to His people. The right horn of that ram is called the “last trump” and has to do with the resurrection of the dead because Abraham saw Isaac raised from the dead in a figure (Hebrews 11:19).

Will the Bride of Christ hear the trump to call Her home this autumn? It is, of course, possible for we are certainly in the season of the seasonable moment with the converging of world events surrounding Israel, especially President Trump’s speech to the United Nations in ten days when he is to introduce the Mideast peace plan (see The Two-Part Second Coming of the Messiah regarding how this might be associated with fulfilling Zephaniah 2:1-3).

My brethren, be encouraged, for just as Revelation 12:5 prophesies, the man child will be caught up to heaven. This refers to when those “in Christ” will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air:

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up [harpazō] together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. -1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 KJV

P.S. There are probably many more celestial happenings I am not aware of, but I wanted to draw your attention to these. If you would like to understand more about how the heavens declare the glory of God, you will find much encouragement as you read E. W. Bullinger’s book, The Witness of the Stars.
