He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

The Risen Lord Yeshua & the 144,000 Firstfruits – video introduction.
Introduction
Yeshua rose from the dead on ‘the third day‘, the feast of firstfruits (bikurim). Many of my readers will also be aware that the 144,000 are also called firstfruits. I have spoken about this often over the past year or so. Will the 144,000 be taken on this feast of firstfruits or some feast of firstfruits in the future or some other feast? We shall see. I give some of my thoughts here for you to ponder.
Have we already entered into the time of the end? Have we in fact already entered ‘Daniel’s 70th week’? Have we already entered into the tribulation but the main part of tribulation has been shortened and the wrath has been held back? Are we about to experience the main shaking now?
Are the 144,000 to be raised before the main shaking begins?
I would have thought it would have come already, but we should be watching. It will come suddenly.
The Spirit of the Lord is already moving.
The following is more speculation concerning timing…
3 years into the Tribulation already?
Since the about Purim 2020 I have felt we have strongly lurched towards the dark world and system of the Antichrist as our fundamental freedoms have been assaulted. It is clear that the Plandemic has been used as a pretext and excuse for a medical tyranny that has nothing to do with our good and everything to do with our harm and subjugation as the descendants of Adam. There is also a clear demonic transhumanist goal of fundamentally changing our genetic code using a toxic combination of mRNA vaccinations with nano technology to hijack our natural immune system and turn us into some sort of demonic AI controlled robot. To remove the image of God built into our being and turn us into someone that can be tamed and controlled through technology like an animal on a very short leash. At worst we could be changed into something that is no longer human with the flip of a switch.
Now that wargame against our freedoms and our soul began 3 years ago. What was injected into the blood of Adam’s race has not gone away, it is waiting like a ticking bomb waiting for the day it is activated. In the mean time it is maiming and killing people, but it’s main beast like transhumanist purpose has not been switched on. It is awaiting the coming of the Antichrist.
So have we entered a period of time where God is shaking us in order to get our attention? And is He looking for true repentance? Is He searching the heart of His people now?
And secondly, have we already entered into the Tribulation period, but for the most part are not aware of it because it has not fitted the preconceived ideas of the Antichrist visibly appearing with a very obvious ‘peace treaty’ with Israel? I will soon know if my thinking has been right or wrong and you will too. This is part of the reason I am putting this blog out there. I am saying, that we could be entering the last 6 months of the first 3.5 years of the tribulation and things are about to get very supernatural very suddenly. Or I could be wrong (and I am open to that too).
What I do know is that we have entered the time of the end, since the Plandemic began and things are moving faster and faster, and although we could all be wrong on details, we are surely seeing the unravelling of the current order of things as our nations fall apart on every front morally, economically and peace is removed from our predictable lives.
Have we experienced the first 3 years of the tribulation already and is the next 6 months the main shaking and birth pangs? We will soon know if my suspicion has been correct and that the end has already begun. Even if I am incorrect as to the exact timing of things, we are certainly coming to the end of the world order as we have known it and trouble and tribulation are already here and increasing day by day.
To me it seems obvious that the package has been delivered, the bombs are away, and it’s in the blood. But God in His mercy has delayed the majority of the judgement in mercy. He has cut it short, not from the end of the Tribulation but from the beginning, 3 years ago. So this means that a lot of judgement is going to be compressed into a 6 month period which begins with the rapture of the 144,000 and the birthpangs of the kingdom we were told about by Yeshua in Matthew 24.
Tribulation verses Wrath
Governments argue and fight about all sorts of things but 3 years ago all the nations of the world suddenly agreed to inject their people with an experimental drug. Three years ago they all came into lockstep as if controlled by an unseen hand. So my thoughts and feelings has been that the whole Wuhan Plandemic scam has begun the time period called ‘the time of Jacob’s trouble‘ which in the new testament is simply called ‘the tribulation‘ (literally the trouble), Matthew 24:21.
For then shall be great tribulation (θλιψις μεγαλη), such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Matthew 24:21
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble (צָרָה); but he shall be saved out of it.
Jeremiah 30:7
My suspicion has been that the seals have already opened but only the white horse has been released and this is not the white horse that Yeshua rides but it is the first seal of the Apocalypse released by Yeshua as he begins loosing the seals of judgement in Revelation chapter 6.
We are promised tribulation in this world, but we are also promised that we are not to experience the wrath of God.
These things I have spoken unto you,
John 16:33
that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
So we can experience all sorts of troubles and tribulations in the world, including for many the first 5 seals of the book of Revelation, especially if we are not ready for the coming of the Lord. But we will not experience His wrath if we are truly His.
For
God hath not appointed us to
wrath,
but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
I Thessalonians 5:9
The wrath of God is only poured out from the sixth seal onwards. The wrath is not poured out upon the Lord’s people, but upon the wicked.
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Revelation 6:16
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
So we are not appointed wrath but that doesn’t mean that we wont experience the beginning of the tribulation at all. Most Christians have been rocked gently to sleep that nothing bad can come to America or wherever and that nothing bad can ever come upon the church because the rapture will wisk away sleepy Laodicean pew warmers before trouble comes because they give mental accent to a few doctrines. Nothing could be further from the truth.
We are told to watch and pray…
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Matthew 26:41
I don’t think we have seen the birthpangs of Matthew 24 just yet, but I believe that since the Plandemic of March 2020 we have been put on notice by our Lord that we are in that time of the end. But the birthpangs will come suddenly we are told. These are the wars and rumours of wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places. They will come suddenly. I believe it is very near.
If this is the case we shall soon know because we are already 3 years into this time period.
Yeshua is Risen
Here in Australia, today is the day following the sabbath, it is Firstfruits during the 7 days of unleavened bread. Yeshua rose from the dead on this day.
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
I Corinthians 15:20
Because of the resurrection of Yeshua, we have new life and a new beginning. If Yeshua simply died as the Passover Lamb but did not rise, we would not have salvation, hope and victory. But because Yeshua rose, victory is secured. We already have the promised victory, now all we need to do is walk it out. As we die daily to sin we also walk in the victory of Yeshua’s resurrection.
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Romans 6:3-4
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
In our daily struggles with sin, Satan, the world and our carnal flesh we learn to die to self (or we should be learning that). And if we persevere in our struggles we should see the Lord come through with resurrection power if we ‘faint not‘, Galatians 6:9.
This resurrection life both helps us now but will be fully realised at our own actual resurrection with a new and eternal body.
The 144,000 will also Rise Soon
The 144,000 are the first of those to experience the full power of the resurrection of Yeshua. They will be the first to be raised with Him. Could this raising occur on the feast of firstfruits?
These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
Revelation 14:4
I have said often that in the following verse I see three resurrections not 2…
I Corinthians 15:23
But every man in his own order:
Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
There are 3 groups in the above verse…
- Christ (who is first of the firstfruits)
- 144,000 (who are also firstfruits)
- they that are Christs at his coming.
There maybe almost 2000 years between the raising of Yeshua and the 144,000 but they are both firstfruits and thus they both go first before the main body of believers. They are ready first and so they are raised first.
Between steps 2 and 3 is the 2nd exodus. The woman, Zion flees to the wilderness in Revelation 12.
Firstfruits in Leviticus
Here are the instructions for the feast of firstfruits if you would like to read it. Firstfruits occurs during the 7 days of unleavened bread. The firstfruits of the barley harvest are waved by the priest on behalf of all Israel.
9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus 23:9-15
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
The harvest cycle is symbolic of souls. Yeshua told us to look to the fields that are ‘white unto harvest‘, John 4:35. The harvest is also ‘the end of the world‘, Matthew 13:39. This harvest refers to the Barley harvest, from Firstfruits, and then the Wheat harvest that begins at Pentecost. The 50 day countdown to Pentecost begins on the day of the feast of firstfruits when the barley wavesheaf is waved.
I believe that this may begin the countdown which will be the period of travail of the woman in Revelation 12 which is Zion. Zion is the Church of the firstborn, it is the bride of the Messiah. And she has to make herself ready, and get out of Babylon and head to the wilderness. She begets a son, a manchild that shall rule all nations.
The wavesheaf begins the countdown to her Exodus, the 2nd Exodus.
We will be leaving the USA, north America and wherever else we reside including Australia!
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jeremiah 23:7-8
8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
Our nations are about to be busted wide open. We wont want to remain in our nations either. They will be destroyed.
For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
Jeremiah 30:11
The 24th Day countdown in Haggai, Zechariah & Daniel
I have spoken of the very significant 24th Day Countdown before in the following articles…
- Kislev 24th – Foundation, Earthquakes & the 4 Horsemen
- Does Red Horse Kick off WW3 on 15 Feb 2023 (24 Shevet)?
24 is all about the betrothal and marriage of the Bride of Messiah. I spoke about the the number 24 in this article…
It could be that the main birthpangs occur after the 24th day of one of the months mentioned in Daniel, Haggai and the first chapter of Zechariah.
Is it the 24th of this Hebrew month, Nissan, the month of Passover, Unleavened Bread and Firstfruits? Is it this year or next? We shall know when it happens I guess. Stay alert!
- 24th day 1st month – Daniel 10:4
Angel comes to give Daniel end time understanding - 24th day 6th month – Haggai 1:15
Build Temple, Shake Heaven & Earth & Sea - 24th day 9th month – Haggai 2:10
Overthrow Horse & their Riders - 24th day 9th month – Haggai 2:18
Priests, Shake Heaven & Earth - 24th day “ month – Haggai 2:20
Foundation Laid, Blessing from this Day forth - 24th day 11th month – Zechariah 1:7
Red – Horse Earth at Peace
Haggai is all about the Lord shaking the ‘heavens and the earth’ and destroying the armies of the world with the horse and their riders! Sounds very much like what happened in Egypt in the Exodus but on a much larger scale. It looks like the birthpang shaking that Yeshua spoke of in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.
6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while,
Haggai 2:6-7
and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come:
and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.
Trumpets & Jubilee
I have experienced a sort of personal Jubilee here in Australia these past 6 months. The Lord has so arranged my circumstances that after many many years of exile we have a little fellowship happening. The Lord has arranged it. He brought it to pass. He brought the people together. I have played my part, others have done theirs, but the Lord Yeshua is the carpenter, the master craftsman, the chief cornerstone and the one that builds His Church (congregation) and the gates of hell will not prevail.
The Lord began on the feast of trumpets last year which had great personal significance to me because I had complained to the Lord that we don’t need just a still small voice but rather a trumpet! I was so frustrated with what was going on in the world and my own powerlessness. The Lord heard. I think the trumpet is blasting for those that have ears. The Lord is coming.
Conclusion
Could we be about to enter 6 months of travail. Maybe. Maybe now, maybe later. I am watching but I don’t know anything for sure. But I am learning more and more from His Word and when things do begin to happen in earnest I think we will all know.
I think it is important for all of us to become familiar with His Word and as we dillegently seek Him we shall find Him if we seek Him with all our heart.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13
I don’t know the exact timings of things. I am only guessing. I have not received a voice or a dream or vision. I am simply watching. It could be that some of my suppositions are not 100% correct. My timing could be off. But don’t let my failings put you off from doing your own research and seeking the Lord’s face. We are certainly approaching the end of all things and the coming of the Lord however you measure it.
Whenever the 144,000 appear it will be the beginnings of the ‘travail of Zion‘ and her sure deliverance and the 2nd exodus and the 2nd coming of Yeshua. Stay tuned to Him and keep seeking His face and His Kingdom and don’t be discouraged but fight in prayer for your Shalom and you will find his good and perfect will in all things.
Love in Yeshua
