The trumpet will sound. We are further along the timeline than most people think. The ‘birthpangs‘ of the Kingdom are about to begin in earnest. The ‘pale horse‘ brings ‘Death‘ & ‘Hell‘. According to Jeremiah 30:6-7 ‘every man‘ will have ‘his hands on his loins‘ like a ‘woman in travail‘. Their ‘faces will turn to paleness‘. Why? Because the ‘time of Jacob’s trouble has come‘, people suddenly know that they are in the ‘tribulation‘ and they are not prepared in their hearts for it and they have not been ‘raptured‘. Many will fall away in apostasy if they are not truly the Lord’s. The good news is that the remnant of Jacob ‘shall be saved‘. Nevertheless we are coming into a time of judgement, this Feast of Trumpets announces it and the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) locks it in. Judgements will begin to move more quickly and by Passover 2024 we will be living in a different world. I hope that you will stick around and read to the end of this article. Proverbs says, ‘get understanding‘, it doesn’t say ‘stick your head in the sand‘. If you have a better understanding of what is coming then you are better able to make wise choices and prepare your heart and circumstances. The best advice I can give is that we humble ourselves and fast and pray and seek the face of the Lord. The enemy is coming to lie, steal and kill. And the Lord is coming for His remnant!

Introduction
The Feast of Trumpets is upon us. The Lord wants us to wake up. The Lord is about to shout. The Lord’s eyes are a flame of fire. The Lord is about to visit His flock with judgement both with curses and blessings. Death is coming, but so is a miraculous birth. In this time of travail, the Kingdom of Darkness and the Kingdom of Light shall clash and both will grow in manifest power. At this time of the blowing of trumpets, if we are listening to His still small voice, we must also blew the trumpet and declare the Word of God faithfully. Help us Father to be faithful. Let us fear You alone and not the faces of men.
Cry aloud,
Isaiah 58:1
spare not,
lift up thy voice like a trumpet,
and shew my people their transgression,
and the house of Jacob their sins.
We are entering dark days, but the Lord is with us if we are with Him!
The Fourth Seal is the middle or central Seal of the seven Seal judgements. The Fourth Seal corresponds to the fourth day of creation, to the Sun, Moon & Stars. By extension it corresponds to Joseph’s dream of the same. This is a time when much of Joseph and Israel (and humanity) have become dross, they have waxed fat like bulls and ‘Jeshurun‘ has kicked against their Maker. The iniquity of Ephraim may be bound up but the ‘drunkards of Ephraim‘ shall be trodden under foot, Isaiah 28. Birthpangs are coming on strong now but there is hope!
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
Hosea 13:12-13
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children. *
Now what’s this talking about? This is actually talking about the 144,000. It’s talking about a time of travail that comes upon the church in America and elsewhere. And that we shouldn’t stay too long after the 144,000 are released. And we are coming into a time that before she travails she brings forth a ‘man child‘. This is the first lot of 144,000 related to the barley harvest.
Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
Isaiah 66:7
A few verses later she brings forth her children, the second lot of 144,000 related to the wheat harvest on Pentecost. These verses link to Revelation 12.
The fourth seal aligns with Pentecost, the fourth feast. A child shall be born amidst death. The fourth Seal aligns with the fourth church, Thyatira. This church had a witch called Jezebel calling the shots. But it also had the most masculine overcomers that will rule the nations with a ‘rod of iron‘ just like Yeshua. A marriage is coming but why is Yeshua, who opens the Seals, releasing Death?
It is not until the fourth seal that people know what time it is! The word translated ‘Pale‘ is the Greek word ฯฮปฯฯฮฟฯ, chloros which means ‘pale green‘. The Pale horse of Death is coming, the Lord keeps his Covenant, and the faces of the people shall ‘turn into paleness‘ (ืึตืจึธืงึฝืึนื, from a Hebrew root ืึตืจึธืงึฝ meaning green). So we are told from the old testament here that they are ‘turn into paleness‘ while in the new testament it talks about the ‘pale horse‘ in Revelation 6:7-8. So these two link together. It is the same event.
6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child?
Jeremiah 30:6-7
wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins,
as a woman in travail,
and all faces are turned into paleness (ืึตืจึธืงึฝืึนื)?
7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it:
it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble;
but he shall be saved out of it.
And we seen that in Isaiah 66 its says that before she travailed she brought forth a son (‘man child‘) so there is an awakening of the 144,000, a commissioning of them. The Lord is going to send his servants in the first watch and their about to be sent out now! We are coming into the time of ‘Jacob’s trouble‘, so the 144,000 are going to be raised up and commissioned before that, just as it comes into that time of travail. So before she travailed she brought fourth her son, the man child, but there’s another time of travail when she brings forth ‘her children‘ which is the 144,000 related to Pentecost and the wheat harvest.
Who hath heard such a thing?
Isaiah 66:8
who hath seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day?
or shall a nation be born at once?
for as soon as Zion travailed,
she brought forth her children.
We have just completed the Torah reading cycle for the year. Read the Song of Moses in Deuteronomy 32, it’s all about the tribulation, a time when the Lord hides his face from his rebellious people due to their apostasy, forsaking their Lord to serve devils. The Song of Moses is about the year that we are about to enter. But Salvation is coming to the righteous during the judgement of ‘death‘! We must be encouraged that the birthpangs do bring the 144,000 and the 2nd exodus and the Kingdom of God.
We are coming into a time where all the accumulating judgements of escalating persecution, plagues, wars, economic collapse and natural disasters bring about the perfect storm causing widespread death on a scale we have not seen before. We are already seeing death coming from the needle and this is about to dramatically increase. What hope do we have? That is really up to us. We are at the end of the ‘church age‘ and the Lord is bringing both blessing and cursing in accordance with the Covenant.
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you,
Deuteronomy 30:19
that I have set before you life and death,
blessing and cursing:
therefore choose life,
that both thou and thy seed may live:
Yeshua is looking for His Bride. Yeshua is a Jealous lover. If he suspects us of infidelity we shall drink bitter water (Read about that in numbers 5). Yeshua is now looking at the church with eyes like a flame of fire, Revelation 1:14, 2:18. Fire is the jealousy of love.
Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
Song of Solomon 8:6
as a seal upon thine arm:
for love is strong as death;
jealousy is cruel as the grave:
the coals thereof are coals of fire,
which hath a most vehement flame.
Like the Song says, the 144,000 may be sealed in their ‘heart‘ before they are sealed on their ‘arm‘, that is, in their flesh with a resurrection body. Love is as strong as death. Yeshua is separating the ‘true believers‘ from the ‘make believers‘, the Bride from the Whore. In Revelation 12 we have Zion giving birth while in great pain.
There is a live birth coming in a time of death and travail. Love is about to begin the process of sealing those that belong to God in a time of death. The 144,000 are first to be sealed and then all of Zion. The sealing occurs during the feasts. Three times a year the males are to appear before the Lord, during Unleavened Bread, Pentecost & Tabernacles, Exodus 23:17, Deuteronomy 16:16. They are not to appear before the Lord empty, which reminds me of the parable of the talents, they are to use the talent to get more for their Lord, more souls. And this would appear to correspond with the ‘three watches‘ where the Lord sends forth his servants, Luke 12:38. They are to harvest for the Good Master. There is a harvest of both life and death coming and it’s about to begin in earnest.
As our world darkens and death begins to stalk the human race, the Lord is about to commission his 144,000 to preach the gospel of the Kingdom and to bring the remnant of Zion (the church of the firstborn) through a harrowing time. Death is coming to many. The bible tells us the following.
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul:
Proverbs 8:36
all they that hate me love death.
We may already be in the ‘beginning of sorrows‘ and most folks are asleep to the judgement that is about to fall. Through Covid we have had 3.5 years time to wake up. We may already be in the early part of the tribulation, a tribulation that has been creeping up on us, a tribulation by stealth and not the way we thought it would be. One thing is for sure, It is clear that things are only going to escalate as our nations turn to legalised madness and government sanctioned sexual depravity. Our nations have become as Sodom and our cities will burn and our nations shall be judged and invaded. There are no exceptions. God is Holy. During the fourth seal the pace will quicken.
According to Deuteronomy we are about to be judged. He has already warned us.
22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;
Deuteronomy 29:22-23
23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
Many of the churches have capitulated to the standards of the world in order to be accepted. They have become breading grounds for depravity and teach compliance with the morals of our Sodomitish nations. The New Testament says the same thing as the Old, judgement is coming…
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
II Peter 2:6
If you read Isaiah 24 you will see Deuteronomy 29:22-23 literally being fulfilled. This may be a year or so away!
Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
Isaiah 24:15
This will be like the movie ‘2012’ that came out years ago where the USA and many parts of the world were wrecked by huge earthquakes that overturned sections of California and brought huge waves.
Our Sodomitish nations will soon be burning. But before that they shall be visited by Death. The true faithful remnant will come together in that time of darkness and be the only source of light in a dying world.
The Fourth Seal & Dominion
The number four is about dominion, north, south, east & west. Abraham was promised the land, all that he could see, all that he tread upon. The number four is also about reproduction and the promised seed. The fourth day of creation saw the Sun, Moon and stars formed which was used to depict the seed of Israel in Joseph’s dream. The fourth feast, Pentecost is about the harvest of wheat seed and the birth of the church. The four species used in Sukkot (Tabernacles) represent four different seed types. So four is about land and seed. Abraham was also promised a Son as well as dominion over the promised land. Later that promise is passed down to Israel. If they walked in obedience they would have dominion and dwell in the land and multiply. However if they were disobedient then they would be cursed and would leave and many would die. Exile is also a form of death.
We are currently in exile, our nations are not the ultimate ‘promised land‘. Our nations are being judged now. All the nations that Israel dwells in shall be destroyed.
Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
Jeremiah 46:28
America has become Babylon and Sodom and it will burn. And so shall Australia etc. In fact the current State of Israel has not kept her Shmitta years so she will have to go in exile, at least in part if the Lord is true to Torah, Leviticus 26:34. The USA and Israel contain the bulk of the Israelites, Jews and lost tribers. I think they could be both attacked at about the same time and Russia will be the head of a coalition against them. This is due to sin that the Lord must deal with in the House of Judah and Israel.
But what do we do if we are trying to obey the Lord even though our nations have become wicked? What happens when there is a group of Israelites or gentile believers that are obeying God in the last days but they dwell amongst the disobedient? The Lord promises never to leave us or forsake us. He will cause the righteous to shine in these dark and evil days, Isaiah 60:1. The woman of Revelation 12 is in mortal danger and in pain but she is shining. Satan can’t get her or her seed. That seed is the 144,000 manchild firstfruits that is resurrected/raptured. Then there is the 2nd exodus from America and elsewhere as has been copiously blogged about previously.
The Lord gave Adam and Eve dominion, Genesis 1:26-28. However their perfect rule over creation was rudely interrupted by the serpent and they were banished from Paradise. Now Death reigned in Adam’s fallen race.
The fourth Horseman’s name is ‘Death‘. He is not the sort of fellow you want knocking on your door. But he is a persistent chap. Let’s read what Revelation has to say.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
Revelation 6:7-8
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
All of the previous 3 horsemen culminate in the fourth horsemen. The rider of the red horse of the second seal had a ‘great sword‘, and a sword is present in the fourth seal. The the rider of the black horse of the third seal with scales in his hands brought economic scarcity but there was still oil and wine. Now with the fourth horsemen, Death, people are killed with hunger So scarcity in the 3rd seal now results starvation. The fourth horseman brings the opposite for what God intended for mankind and Israel, these are the curses of Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 26. After death comes Hell on earth, including the demons, nephilim and fallen angels. This will be during a time of war and invasion. We will also see a Zombie Apocalypse that I have spoken of copiously previously.
The fourth seal only affects a quarter of the earth. There are still places free from death. A quarter of the earth’s population is killed, about 2 billion people are dead within a year. Three quarters of the population are still alive. The Fourth Seal of the Apocalypse is part of the curses of Deuteronomy 28. There is a price for disobedience and ultimately that price is death.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23
Death is not our friend. We are told that the final enemy is death.
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
I Corinthians 15:26
Yeshua is opening the scroll, Yeshua is loosening the 7 Seals. Why is the Prince of Life bringing death? Well He is simply paying disobedient mankind their wages including a false swearing church. So the Lord is bringing death. Nevertheless there is spiritual life coming to the remnant, Yeshua came to give us life and life in abundance. Miracles and signs and wonders will come amidst great distress and pain, these are the labour pains of the woman. We shall see a true contrast between life and death, between blessing and cursing during the fourth seal. But it will be painful even if we are shining!
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
John 10:10
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
We are given a choice whom we shall serve. All Israel stood at attention before the mountain of fire and swore with an oath to obey Him. The Lord charged them them to choose life through obedience to His law.
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Deuteronomy 30:19
Many Christians think that by glibly giving ‘mental accent‘ to some doctrines that they are saved. But if the Holy Spirit is to remain with us we must learn to obey the Lord. If the Lord has truly written the law on our hearts then we should be doing what it says. We should be reading his word and walking it out. Otherwise we deceive ourselves.
The fourth horseman is bringing the wages for disobedience. God’s patience has come to an end. Besides, he has a wedding planned.
Sadly during this time there will also be people that are killed that do truly believe with saving faith. There are martyrs. But they will not hurt by the second death, eternal damnation. We must remember though who is in control, the Lord. He opens the Seals. We need to humble ourselves.
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear:
Luke 12:5
Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell;
yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
How can we find mercy in a time of judgement?
Seek ye the LORD,
Zephaniah 2:3
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.
So seeking the Lord is a big part of finding mercy. Also walking uprightly and staying humble. Here’s another verse worth taking note of in Amos.
For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
Amos 5:4
So even in a time of death and cursing the Lord can be bringing life and blessing for His remnant flock.
If we want our dominion over the earth back then we have to get out of the power of Satan by walking in obedience.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Romans 6:14
Speaking of ‘dominion‘, which is related to the 4 compass points, there is a correspondence to the ‘overcomers‘ of the fourth church. They are given a promise that links them to the Manchild of Revelation 12, they rule with a ‘rod of Iron‘!
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.
Revelation 2:27
Compare this with Revelation 12…
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 12:5
So the manchild is not just Yeshua it is the overcomers of Thyatira that rule with a ‘rod of iron‘ under Him. They are His brethren. They are the 144,000 firstfruits of the resurrection.
Another interesting point is that the Lord warns this same church that He will kill her children with ‘Death’ because they allow Jezebel to teach. So the fourth church, Thyatira doubly relates to the fourth seal.
And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Revelation 2:23
The phrase ‘kill her children with death‘ is strange because if you are killed then of course you die. So ‘death‘ must refer to the ‘Angel of Death‘, the grim reaper so to speak! I believe that this is the rider on the Pale horse.
So this church has those that rule with a rod of iron and those that are killed with death. So this doubly links us also to the fourth seal which is death. God is cleaning house. If ‘Death‘ visits America and the world from September 2023 then the manchild that rules with a ‘rod of iron‘ shall begin to rise also.
4th seal = 4th church = rod of iron = Manchild = 144,000 = Seed that has dominion of the earth.
A Covenant with Death & Hell
I think that the Covid 19 shot is related to the first seal, the rider on the white horse, bringing ‘the curse that goes into all the earth‘ as spoken of in Zechariah 5:8. The Covid 19 shot was a world wide death injection.
3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
Zechariah 5:3-4
4 I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
The house represents the body of those that have been injected. Their body literally begins to rot! This is truly horrific.
This curse is related to the ‘Covenant with Death‘ that is declared by the ‘drunkards of Ephraim‘ and Jerusalem as Isaiah 28 makes clear. The white horse subdues the earth without even having arrows in it’s quiver. It is white, it takes over peacefully. The rider has a crown. Yeshua is sending the rider to Ephraim and Jerusalem and the whole earth because they have forsaken Him and made a ‘Covenant with Death‘.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Isaiah 28:15-18
16 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.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
In the first seal they have made a covenant with death and hell and in the fourth seal Death and Hell are coming to collect.
Yeshua warned us that if the salt looses it’s savour it will be cast out and trodden down.
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
Matthew 5:13
So the ‘trodden under foot of men‘ mentioned in Matthew is due to the covenant of death in Isaiah 28. We are living in the time of the fulfilment of this ancient prophecy now!
Most people are so blind that they don’t even realise that we are living in the time where this prophecy is being fulfilled!
1 Seal per Year?
Note the following progression…
In December 2020 the mRNA Covid-19 death shot vaccines started to be pumped into the blood of mankind, defiling the human race with a transhumanist nightmare. The Hebrew years begin in about September in terms of calculating judgements and jubilees. So into 2021 the vaccinations were pushed hard and people were threatened with losing their job if they didn’t let the government shoot them up.
While vaccinations were still in progress a year later in 2022 the war in Ukraine began to be stirred up noticeably. Here is the Red horse. World war 3 did not break out but the seeds of it were planted and it has only gotten worse. Now NATO is throwing in weapons and mercenaries and others are fighting a proxy war with Russia and it is being stoked to bring about WW3.
In 2023 we began to see a war on food production and banks began to fail. Although we are still eating, the cost of living has gone up and up and many are struggling. Here is the beginning of the Black horse with scales in its hands beginning to ride with economic scarcity. People are spending much more simply to put food on the table.
The horses are riding and slowly the judgements are piling up and gaining strength.
So if the trend continues we should see the fourth seal released this September and death will be stalking. The seal ramps up over the course of the year and continue after the year they begin at least until all 6 seals are completed. Many of those that took the first seal covid death shots will die at a much faster rate in the fourth seal. The War in Ukraine and elsewhere will escalate. The economy will crash harder and harder. The vaccines will again be pushed amidst far deadlier diseases. And we should begin to see larger and larger earthquakes.
Look, I want to say this upfront, yes like many folks I can see that there is a storm coming. However what follows is still speculation when it comes to the details. I think that from September things are going to begin to get out of hand. The world war is about to spread, that is the red horse of Revelation 6 but happening now during the unfolding of the fourth seal judgement. This red horse also includes civil war and gang warfare and domestic violence etc, taking peace from the earth. The world economy is going to continue to tank, that’s the black horse of Revelation 6. Food a fuel prices are going to rise even further until we are in a global famine situation, including first world nations like the USA and Australia for example. And I see a rise in killer flu’s and man made pestilences including those caused by the Covid vaccines and even ‘normal’ vaccines and contaminated food and water etc. They are gearing up to push vaccinations all over again as real deadly diseases are released. Censorship, persecution and tyranny have already begun and it is gathering pace. I am not a prophet, I base what I have said on what is already happening. I am prophetic in the sense that I read the word of God and am aware of some of what is going on because of this. We should all be reading our bibles. So anyway when you notice all these accumulating and coalescing judgements that have been going on over the past 3 years together it is moving towards the ‘perfect storm‘. So I believe that the white, red, and black horses have already been released one year apart. And I believe we are about to see all four horsemen ride together with the pale, horse, the Fourth Seal judgement of Revelation 6.
Below is a diagram of what could be happening. We are easing into the tribulation without many people really being aware of it, because the seals are released and the judgements start off small and gather pace over time. The Antichrist will appear during a time of war according to Daniel 11. I suspect that to many in the world he will appear as Mr Fix it. I believe we are on the cusp of all of these judgements coming together as the perfect storm. We shall soon be keenly aware that we are living in the times of the birthpangs that Yeshua warned us of in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.
When are the Seals released?
The Day of Atonement is Judgement day. Judgement for the following year is set on the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur in Hebrew. This is on the 10th day of the 7th Hebrew month Tishrei which is usually in September or early October. The New Covenant that was paid for during Passover by the Lamb of God, Yeshua, but the new covenant comes in it’s fullness to the House of Israel and Judah in these ‘last days‘ on Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is a fasting day that will be turned into a feasting day at the marriage of the Lamb. And leading up to that marriage is the breaking of the 7 seals. And as I have stated a number of times I believe we are in the midst of this process and are entering the fourth seal. And most don’t even realise it because it is creeping up gradually and cumulatively one disaster at a time, one decree at a time, one seal at a time! (I will talk about this in more detail in the next short section from the apocryphal book of 2nd Baruch.)
So the day of Atonement brings judgement. Sabbatical years and Jubilees are calculated in the 7th month. The Jubilee trumpet is blown once every 50 years during the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). Read Leviticus 25 for details. A Jubilee can bring judgement if we have done evil and will also bring the day of the ‘vengeance‘ of our God, Isaiah 61:1-2, as I discussed in the previous blog.
The reason that there are 7 seals leading up to the marriage of the Lamb is because the Lord must judge His people in righteousness before He marries a spotless bride. Indeed the tribulation helps to get her spotless and shining. Yeshua as high priest and groom must give her bitter waters to drink if He suspects her of adultery, Numbers 5:18. Those that say ‘it can’t happen to me because I’m and American‘ or that are have the attitude of saying in their heart ‘I am a Queen and I can’t be touched‘ should watch out. We all fail in many ways. We need to be humble. Yeshua sees our hearts better than we do. He ‘searcheth the reins and hearts’, Revelation 2:23.
Let’s first read from 2nd Baruch which sheds some light on what is coming and how it comes.
2 Baruch: Judgements merging?
Now I know the following passage from 2nd Baruch is not in what we call the ‘cannon of scripture‘ but it appears to back up my suspicions that the 4 horsemen have been gradually released so that the full force of their release comes later. So people are unaware that we have entered the tribulation. Time will tell if my suspicions are correct. I feel that what is known as the ‘beginning of sorrows‘ is directly upon us and it coincides with the release of the 4th seal judgement of death when the pale horse is released. The other 3 horses have already been released and they will all combine and gather strength for the perfect storm as I have noted earlier. Let’s be reminded of what Yeshua said in Matthew 24.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Matthew 24:6-8
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Now let’s look at 2nd Baruch because it tells us how these events creep up gradually. 2nd Baruch chapter 27 verses 1 to 12 breaks the judgements into ‘twelve parts‘ and describes them combining so that there is ‘disorder arising from a conglomeration of everything which has been previously mentioned‘, verse 13. Verse 14 states that these judgements will mix and increase the other judgements, in other words they will merge and grow in strength and rapidity as time goes by. Have a look at the prophecy here.
27.1 And he answered and said to me:
2 Baruch 27:1-15 & 28:1
โThat time is divided into twelve parts,
and each part is reserved for its appointed task:
2 โIn the first part,
there shall be the beginning of commotions.
3 โAnd in the second part:
the slaughtering of the great.
4 โAnd in the third part: the fall of many into death.
5 โAnd in the fourth part: the sending of the sword.
6 โAnd in the fifth part: famine and the withholding of rain.
7 โAnd in the sixth part: [โฆ]
8 [โAnd in the seventh part:] earthquakes and terrors.1
9 โAnd in the eighth part: a multitude of phantoms and the attacks of demons.
10 โAnd in the ninth part: the fall of fire.
11 โAnd in the tenth part: rape and much oppression.
12 โAnd in the eleventh part: injustice and unchastity.
13 โAnd in the twelfth part: disorder arising from a conglomeration of everything which has been previously mentioned.
14 โFor these parts of that time are reserved,
and will be mixed, one with another,
and they will minister to each other.
15 For some of these parts will withhold a portion of themselves while taking from others, and some will accomplish their own portion as well as that of others; hence, those who live on earth in those days will not understand that this is the end of times.
28.1 But at that time, whoever understands will be wise. 2 For the measure and the calculation of that time is two parts a week of seven weeks.โ
Notice that there is a purpose for the gradual accumulation of judgements. So that ‘those who live on earth in those days will not understand that this is the end of times‘.
Notice also whoever ‘understands will be wise‘ which reminds me of Daniel 12:10 that states that the ‘wise shall understand‘. Isn’t that what is going on? People say the tribulation has begun, others say no it’s not yet. But actually it has crept up on us. As I say, tribulation by stealth! But the wise shall understand.
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Daniel 12:10
If ever there is a time where we need both wisdom and humility it is now!
I am not sure what ‘two parts of a week of seven weeks‘ is referring to. I know that Jacob worked for two weeks of years for his two wives, Rachel and Lea, giving us 14 years in total. Pharaoh had a dream of 7 good and 7 bad years. I think this has end times implications. But that is another for another blog.
Let’s look at what good things the Lord is going to do at the same time and tie up some loose ends.
When are the 144,000 Sealed?
There is a clue in the apocryphal book of 2 Esdras that the ‘number of those that be sealed in the feast of the Lord‘. What does this mean? Well firstly we are not given the name of the feast but we are given a very big clue because it mentions ‘joyfulness’ and being ‘glad’. There is only one feast in which we are specifically told to ‘rejoice‘ and that is Tabernacles or Sukkot in Hebrew.
13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
Deuteronomy 16:13-14
14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
Anyway let’s read the book of 2 Esdras to see when sealing occurs.
36 Flee the shadow of this world, receive the joyfulness of your glory: I testify my Saviour openly.
II Esdras 2:36-39
37 O receive the gift that is given you, and be glad, giving thanks unto him that hath led you to the heavenly kingdom.
38 Arise up and stand, behold the number of those that be sealed in the feast of the Lord;
39 Which are departed from the shadow of the world, and have received glorious garments of the Lord.
So the 144,000 will be sealed during the feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles) as far as I can tell. The receiving of glorious garments refers to new bodies and possibly also literal glorious outfits, perhaps a little like what the superheroes wear, just guessing!
However it is my suspicion which I shared in my previous blog post titled ‘Birthpangs of Kingdom: An Acceptable time for the Antichrist vs 144,000 Suffering Warrior Preachers‘ that the 144,000 will be commissioned with authority and power while still in their mortal flesh. This is because the144,000 are called servants and we are told about the suffering servant in Isaiah 42 etc. Yes Yeshua is that suffering servant but so are those that follow Him. And if we are to reign with Him we must also suffer with him. Also Yeshua sent out his disciples as sheep amongst wolves in Matthew 10 and Luke 10. These are prophetic scriptures as explained in the previous article quoted above. Again I would strongly recommend my readers to read this article as the time is directly upon us I believe. The 144,000 may be commissioned now and endued with power but be sealed after the completion of their Holy Spirit empowered mortal mission.
So to recap I believe we have already seen the seals opening since September 20, one per year but this September, the black Horse is going to start riding and all the other horsemen will be riding with him. We are being jolted into the ‘beginning of sorrows‘ that Yeshua warned us of. We must not lose heart at this time because the Lord is about to make a move on the enemy also. He is about to commission the 144,000 to preach the prophetic word, the Kingdom of God is coming physically to the earth very soon and the process of the 2nd exodus will begin. We are about to be invaded. I don’t think the 144,000 are sealed now, but they are endued with authority to preach his Word, drive out demons, heal and do miracles etc. They must be faithful servants and not bury their talent. They are about to be tested with their first assignment, which is to begin the preparation of the barley harvest, help get the remnant of Israel and Judah in order and preach to the gentiles too. His Spirit will be moving with His remnant.
We must take to heart that Yeshua is in control of the destruction of our nations. It is His judgement. We just need to ask Him personally, what He would have us do. The people that know their God shall be strong and get the job done, Daniel 11:32.
Pray, Fast & Seek the Lord while He may be found.
Love in Yeshua HaMashiach,
Rory
