This day on the calendar revealed to Enoch is the High Day of the Feast of Firstfruits. It was preceded by seven complete weeks (the Feast of Weeks) during which time no harvest of grain was to be consumed. The seven weeks represent the “Seven Weeks” or ages of Enoch’s vision during which time humanity has been given the chance to try to figure what on earth they are doing?

This High Day is also the first day of the Eighth Week. And during the Eighth Week they will come to understand their purpose with clarity and precision. At that time, all will know why they are alive, where they are heading, and why. They will also know how they will achieve this, and who they were destined to become!

When John the Baptist delivered his message to the people of Judah, he was acting as a helper to the One (Yahua/Yahsua) who would come later. John’s job was to open or prepare a way for the “sheep” to find their Shepherd.

Here is the story.

In order to protect the sheep at night, a shepherd had to lead them to a place where there were rocks and materials available to build a pen for the sheep to stay. The pen was built ahead of time specifically for this purpose. Then while the shepherd slept the sheep were safe. Then on the morning the wall had to be breached or broken in one place. The stones were removed and the sheep would then push their way through the breach where the shepherd waited for them. After they passed through, he would lead them to pastures and water. The helper to the shepherd created the breach by removing the stones and rocks, when the shepherd was ready to receive the sheep. (The meaning of Matthew 11:12)

This is the meaning of “prepare the way.” The sheep then burst out of the pen following the poretz (breach maker) who breaks through the wall first. But the poretz is not the shepherd, only the shepherd’s helper. He is the one who  “prepares the way.”

Although most will find this hard to believe, but this blog is a portal, a breach in the wall, through which I, acting as a poretz have made a breach and passed through first. Through this breach others will now begin to push their way to the Shepherd who will lead them to pasture and water during this troubling end time.

In the next weeks, months, and years many will pass through this “breach in the wall” to be cleansed and come to understand and know the Shepherd (Yahua/Yashua) who leads them.

For this says Yahua “With weeping they shall come, and with their prayers I bring them. I shall make them walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they do not stumble. For I shall be a Father to Yisra’ĕl, and Ephraim – he is My first-born.
“Hear the word of Yahua O gentiles, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, ‘He who scattered Yisra’ĕl gathers him, and shall guard him as a shepherd his flock.‘ ” From Jeremiah 31

Here is the quote, about which I have written …

And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering [Wave Loaves] to your Elohim – a law forever in all your dwellings. (Lev 23:16)

What does this mean for us?

For some, it probably is “proof” that there are some “nuts” in the world. But for those with insight and understanding, it should mean that there will be no “harvest” (speaking of resurrection and eternal life) during this time.

And that is exactly what the Scriptures teach concerning those pesky seven “weeks” of Enoch’s vision. …

The “weeks” of Enoch’s vision, of course, are the ages of human existence that either end with some notable event, or during which something special happens.

We live in the time of the end of the Seventh Week, which was characterized by a period of time (almost 2000 years) of great apostasy. During this long time many big works were created – particularly religious and political. Great “religions” were formed to which the masses still turn. And “great” political structures were also conceived that promised, again to the masses, that the politicians of some “new” order are the “messiahs” of the masses. And among those works are cathedrals, large building complexes, volumes of major religious music, millions of books and manuscripts, multitudes of teachers, priests, and preachers, hugh choirs, congresses. parliaments, political parties and more.

But what has happened during all of these seven ages that was really significant was the calling out of the righteous and just. These lived like strangers in a foreign world, while they look forward to one that is to come — at the end of the “Seven Weeks!”

These lived their lives in hope of a certain future, when the kingdoms of this world will be taken from the rulers and given instead to the righteous. And this is something that neither the leaders of the religions and the nations do not want to hear.

One writer wrote that there will be twelve gates around the new Jerusalem, one for each of the twelve tribes of Jacob/Israel, but there will be no gates for either Catholics or Christians or any other religion.

Getting back to the harvest and “no grain” eating. This is to tell us that there will be no harvest during the seven weeks or ages. The harvest comes after the seven weeks are complete. And that would be the beginning of the Eighth Week, would it not?

Now this is a problem for some because the Eighth Week comes after the tribulation of the last three and a half years. Then there will be the resurrection and the gathering of both Israel, and those who joined with Israel spiritually. Hopefully, you are part of that group.

As I wrote before, this is not a reference to either Christians or the “Church” or any other group that is deeply immersed in one of this worlds “great” religions, which is also known as the Apostasy!

There is one small but growing group who has come to know, with some comfort and awe, that they are unique in this world. This group is beginning to take a renewed interest in the Torah and the Prophets, and our fathers like Enoch and Shem, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They are beginning to return to Yahua (”Who was, is, and will be”) of  Elohim (”The Mighty Ones.”) They are beginning to understand that the one called Yahusha, or Yahushua was really Yahua manifested in the flesh to deliver all people from death.

They are also beginning to recognize that among the Lost Tribes of Israel that “Watchmen” are emerging and making their voice known in Ephraim! In Hebrew these are the Natsarim — the Branches or Watchmen.

From chapter 31 of Jeremiah, where the promise is given about a
New Covenant, are the words, “For there shall be a day when the watchmen [Natsarim] cry on Mount Ephraim, ‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion, to יהוה [Yahua] our Elohim.’ ” ” (31:6)

Ephraim was the leading tribe of the northern 10 tribes of House of Israel to whom Yahushua sent the disciples. To these disciples Yahushua said,”I am the vine and you are the branches [Netsarim].” Natsarim can mean both “branches” and “watchmen.” Therefore Yahua will finish that mission through His modern day Natsarim that He calls out today.  This is also confirmed in Daniel 12, where it is prophesied that “MANY will be cleansed and made white and refined.”

The word “watchmen” is from the same root, Natsar [NTsR], from which we derive the words Natsareth, Gennetsaret, and Natsarim. Technically, our English pronunciation “Nazarene” is incorrect. The letter transliterated with a “z” in “Nazarene” is the letter tsadee [Ts] that carries the “ts” sound. This causes confusion with the word nazir[NZR], which uses a zayin (Z) and means something completely different.

Note: The Hebrew name of the town of “Nazareth” is really “Natsareth.” I have been there and it is one of the most beautiful places in Israel. It is raised up, and the hills nearby give a view of the Plain of Jezreel and the town of Megiddo (Har Megiddo or “Armageddon”. It is probably from this great view of this such a significant place in prophecy that “Natsareth” was given this name – the place of watching!

Obviously, Ephraim is not living there today as they were scattered among the gentiles. But Ephraim is alive in end time prophecies, like in Jeremiah 31, and in Ezekiel and others. In prophecy, Ephraim is synonymous with the “lost 10 tribes” and the “House of Israel.” And we must understand that these prophecies are not referring to “Jewish” people who are from the tribe of Judah and known historically as the “House of Judah.”

If you have been a reader of this blog, by now you should recognize, although this is strange to our ears, that I could, and so could you, be one of the Natsarim or a “Natsar” (NTsR, Strongs 5341), a “watchman” or “branch.” I did not nor could I appoint myself to this, but as time went on it became obvious to me that the messages I am writing fit the category. But, thankfully, I am not alone. There are others. And there have been others down through the ages.

But what follows is important and must be understood …

For years now I have been writing and publishing what I learned directly from the Scriptures. I did not seek out the material written by other authors. In fact, much of what from other writers did not support what I have written. A few even said I was “nuts.”

Obviously, I felt very alone in the world. And I wondered if I would ever find anyone else who learned the same things in the same way as I did. Also they should not have learned from me, and neither should I have learned from them. That is, until the time when we were ready to become acquainted.

This is a matter of testimony or witness. If we agree after being influenced by each other, then that is like bringing together two or more expert witnesses who knew about each others thoughts and ideas and collaborated. When that happens there is really only one expert witness, is there not?

But if what I have been learning and writing was in fact inspired and directed by the Holy Spirit apart from any other source, and the same was true of others. Then our words when viewed in the separate context of each other, will confirm the Truth. The Truth being guided by the Holy Spirit in each person apart from any other influence provides the expert testimony that only true witnesses can provide. This is the kind of testimony that will stand up in court.

The Torah (Instruction) is clear on this: “One witness does not rise up against any man for any crookedness or any sin that he commits. At the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses a matter is established.” Deut. 19:15

What this is saying is that even though I write the Truth as it is revealed to me, it means nothing until someone else says the same thing, apart from me. Therefore, the word is established only after both separate testimonies agree.

So for those who understand the Scriptures and love Yahua/Yahushua and the Torah with all their “heart, mind, and soul,” this should not come as a surprise, should it? But it does sound strange, I will admit that. But when understood and desired, it should be welcomed, as a relief from the deceptions of religions, should it not?

The translation I use most often is called The Scriptures, and is published by the Institute for Scriptural Research (ISR) of South Africa.

There are many things where they and I agree and somethings where we disagree. But, as far as I know, I am unknown to them and this is the first time, on this Sabbath on Enoch’s revealed calendar that I read any of the material from their associates. The Scriptures is a good translation that probably irks the “established” religious leaders.

We are living in not only historical times, but also in a time about which all the prophets wrote, and for which the Torah was created. This is not a time to be taken lightly or to be trivialized by following after the works of the apostasy for which our age is known.

It is called the Feast of First-fruits …

In a prior post we learned that the Torah means “instructions” and that the word “Torah” was introduced by the Prophets as a reference to the Five Books of Moses. The word does not mean “law” and should not be translated with that word. English translators too often outsmart themselves by substituting “accepted” words, rather than meaningful and precise translation.

In this article and others that follow references to days, weeks, months, and years on the revealed Calendar will be capitalized.

The first Day of the first Week in the Feast of Weeks is the Day when the Wave Sheaf was offered.

And Yahua spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest. And he shall wave the sheaf before Yahua for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves it.

‘And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim a law forever throughout your generations in your dwellings.’” From Leviticus 23.

This starts a sequence of Weeks that represent the Seven Weeks (as Ages) that Enoch saw in a vision. These seven Weeks are the time from the beginning day until the seven Weeks are finished. Then after that, at the beginning of the “Eighth Week,” the Feast of First-fruits happens and the Feast of Weeks is “remembered.”

The Feast of First-fruits is also called questionably called “pentecost,”  which has to do with counting “50.” But the “Instructions” of the Torah says that we should count seven Weeks or Sabbaths.

“‘And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves seven completed Sabbaths, until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath [*] then you shall bring in a new grain offering. Bring from your dwellings for a Wave Offering two loaves of bread, of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour. They are baked with leaven. [They are] first-fruits to Yahua.’”

Note [*]: there is a scribe edit “you count fifty days” that has caused a great deal of confusion among those trying to solve the “Pentecost” controversy. But when omitted then the instruction makes complete sense. Compare the instructions of the Wave Sheaf offering and these instructions concerning the Wave Loaves offering. Counting 50 implies that after seven complete weeks then the “morrow after the seventh Sabbath” is the fiftieth day. You can count it if you want to, but there are set-apart tasks that must be completed on that day. The counting of Weeks or Sabbaths carries the symbolic meaning, not the counting of days.

There is much symbolism in what is happening here.

There are two wave offerings. One starts the seven Weeks. The other happens after they are completed. During the time of the Seven Weeks, no bread, roasted grain, or new fresh grain was to be “eaten.”

Physically, what good is bread or grain that is not consumed? It is without effect. You may harvest as much as you like, but it will not mean a thing unless or until it is consumed. Therefore, the grain, and bread has potential, but that potential is not being used!

Both the Sheaf and the Loaves are made of the same ingredients, with one difference: the Loaves are made with leaven. Bread without leaven is “clean.” Bread with leaven is “unclean.” However, both the “clean” and the “unclean” when presented or “waved” are accepted! Also both are First-fruits. In other words, in all elements, accept one, they are the same!

So during the “harvest” nothing is realized until AFTER the seven Weeks are finished. Then at the beginning of the eighth Week, we realize the First-fruits.

The First-fruit of the Wave Sheaf was realized at the “foundation of the world.” The First-fruits of the Wave Loaves will be realized after the Seven Weeks are COMPLETE!

Here we see a period of Seven Weeks that represent the ages of humankind, until the Eighth Week begins. There was one small harvest of a sheaf or a handful of grain at the beginning, and nothing in between. Then after the Seven Weeks (or ages) end, a large is harvest is made and Waved.

What then does “waving” signify?

Actually, the word can mean “elevating” or “causing to ASCEND.” At the “foundation of the world” one called “The Lamb” had been “slain.” (Rev 13:8). This was a fait accompli, but wasn’t realized until the sixth age or week. But the plan was made that one would enter into a life and death agreement with the People, whom He knew would break the covenant. Then later he would come to “pitch his tent among them,” knowing that they would neither recognize or receive Him. Instead, they killed him, thinking they were doing God a favor!

But by the act of His beatings and death, and because of the terms of the covenant, they all became His. He bought them, and now owns them. When the covenant was made the People acted as a proxy and spoke on behalf of all the people of the world, because the Agreement was for all the people as the Prophets clearly showed.

This plan was in force before human life existed on the earth. The Lamb was sacrificed even before the earth existed!

So after He died, He was raised from the dead as the FIRSTBORN from the dead. And on the eighth day after He was raised from the dead, what did he do? If you have a copy of Enoch’s calendar for 2009-2010, you will see that He was killed on the 14th Day of the Month and also the 3rd Day of the Week, also called Passover. Then He was placed in the tomb just prior to sunset on the 3rd Day where He remained for 3 Days and 3 Nights. Then on the Sixth Day, just prior to the sunset and the beginning of the Sabbath He came out of the tomb.

His first recorded conversation was with Mary(Miryam) of Magdala:

But Miryam was standing outside by the tomb weeping. Then as she wept, she stooped down to the tomb, and saw two Messengers in white sitting one at the head and the other at the feet where the body of Yahushua had been laid. And they said to hear, “Woman, why do you weep?”

She said to them, “Because they took away my Master, and I do not know where they laid Him.” And having said this she turned around and saw Yahushua standing, but she did not know it was Yahushua.

Yahushua said to her, “Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek?”

Thinking He was the gardener, she said to Him, “Master, if you carried Him away, say to me where You put Him, and I shall take Him away.”

Yahushua said to her, “Miryam!”

She turned to Him and said, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher.)

Yahushua said to here, “Do not hold on to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father. But go to My brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My Elohim and your Elohim.’ “

“Elohim” can also imply “Family.”

He ascended, not on the first day of the week during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, but on the first day of the next week when the Wave Sheaf was offered. He was the First-fruit of the “harvest.” He is the “clean” grain.

Before the Beginning …

And His time on earth was part of the time was planned before the earth existed. From Enoch chapter 1, we learn:

And Enoch a right-doing man whose eyes were opened by Elah, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, took up his parable and said,

“The Messengers showed me. From them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is to come.

“Concerning the elect I took up my parable concerning them, and said:

“The Set-apart Great One will come from His dwelling. The eternal Elohim will tread upon the earth, [even on Mount Sinai,] and appear from His camp in the strength of His might from the heaven of heavens.

“And all will be struck with fear, and the Watchers will quake. Great fear and trembling will seize them. To the ends of the earth the high mountains will be shaken, and the high hills will be made low, and melt like wax before the flame. The earth will be wholly torn apart, and all living things upon the earth will die. A judgment will be upon all.

“But with the right-doers He will make peace and will protect the chosen, and mercy will be on them. And they will all belong to Elah, and they will be prospered, and they will all be blessed. He will help them all. And light will appear to them, and He will make peace with them.

“And look! He comes with ten thousands of His set-apart ones to execute judgment on all, and to destroy all the ungodly, and to convict all flesh of all the works of their ungodliness that they have ungodly committed, and of all the hard things that ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

Another ascension was also planned.

This time for those who believed His message, not just from the time between His birth and death, but from the time starting at the very beginning.

This ascension is yet in the future and it is not part of the first Seven Ages or Weeks, but it will take place on the same day the Wave Loaves are “elevated.” They also are the First-fruits of the earth. They are the first harvest and from their life and teaching all the people of the world will learn.

As Yahua ascended back to His Father and Elohim on the Eighth Day from his resurrection, these will ascend to Their Father and Elohim at the beginning of the Eighth Week. This is the blessing of the 1335th day  –The Feast of First-fruits at the beginning of the Eighth Week.

Yahua (”I was, am, and will be”) and Yahushua (”I was, am, and will be the Deliverer”) are One and the same. Only Yahua could fulfill the Agreement made with the People. Only He could be both Savior and Firstborn. Only Yahua is the the Savior and Deliverer. His feet will once again walk the earth when He comes again to fight against those who have vowed to destroy Him and His Brothers from the earth. He was Chosen for this before there was a universe.

From the Fifth Book of Enoch here is vision of the Weeks:

“Concerning the children of righteousness and the elect [chosen] of the world, and concerning the plant of uprightness, I will speak these things. Yes, I, Enoch will tell them to you my sons, according to that which appeared to me in the heavenly vision, and that which I have known through the word of the set-apart Messengers and have learned from the heavenly tablets.”

And Enoch began to recount from the books and said,
“I was born the seventh [from Adam] in the first week, while judgment and righteousness still endured.

After me there will arise in the second week great wickedness, and deceit will have sprung up. And in it there will be the first end. And in it a man shall be saved. After it is ended unrighteousness will grow up, and a law will be made for the sinners.

After that in the third week at its close, a man will be set apart as the plant of righteous judgment, and his posterity will become the plant of righteousness for evermore.

And after that in the fourth week, at its close, visions of the holy and righteous will be seen, and a law for all generations and an enclosure will be made for them.

After that in the fifth week, at its close, the house of glory and dominion will be built forever.

After that in the sixth week all who live in it will be blinded, and the hearts of all of them will godlessly forsake wisdom. And in it a man will ascend, and at its close the house of dominion shall be burned with fire, and the whole race of the chosen root shall be dispersed.

After that in the seventh week an apostate generation will arise. Its deeds will be many, and all its deeds will be apostate. And at its close will be set apart the elect righteous of the eternal plant of righteousness, to receive sevenfold instruction concerning all His creation.

First Seven Weeks (Ages) come to an end and are to be remembered at the Feast of Weeks. Then the Great Weeks begin …

After that there will be another [week], the eighth week, of righteousness. And a sword will be given to it that a righteous judgment may be executed on the oppressors, and sinners will be delivered into the hands of the righteous. And at its close they shall acquire houses through their righteousness. And a house will be built for the Great King in glory forever.

After that, in the ninth week, the righteous judgment will be revealed to the whole world, and all the works of the godless will vanish from all the earth. And the world will be written down for destruction. And all Mankind shall look to the path of uprightness.

And after this, in seventh part of the tenth week, there will be the great eternal judgment in which He will execute vengeance among the Messengers. And the first heaven will depart and pass away, and a new heaven will appear, and all the powers of the heavens will give seven-times more light.

And after that there will be many weeks without number forever, and all will be in goodness and righteousness, and sin will no more be mentioned forever. (From ENOCH: The Book Behind the Bible)

What you have read is the true Good News or Gospel. Don’t settle for anything less!

Some ask: How could the Sabbath be on a Monday and Tuesday? Wasn’t it “supposed” to be on Friday and Saturday? or on Sunday? Or maybe, as some believe, it was “done away” or “fulfilled.”

Now I come along, after more than twenty-nine years of research, instead of solving the “Sunday/Sabbath controversy,” add another cord of wood to the fire.

This has forced people to wonder, who in the world is this guy? And there are plenty of people who will offer up their opinions, as though opinions are truth (they aren’t).

Opinions Don’t Matter — They Never Did!

If I were to ask “Who do people say I am?” would I get the truth or opinion? The odds are in favor of opinions. But opinions mean nothing. Everybody has one. So what? If you take all the opinions of everyone in the world and sort them into heaps and measure the size and weight of each “heap” will you find the truth? Not a chance. The largest and heaviest heap is the one mostly likely to be so off the mark, it would be comical.

In short, it matters little what people say.

But what matters is this: If I am telling the truth (and not my opinion), and others understand it and recognize and know that it is the truth, then is that because I did such a good job of “telling” or because the same Spirit that works in me is also working in them?

Let me put that another way: If you recognize that what I write and say is the truth, and you “get it” what does that say about you? What does it take for you to “get the truth?” Is it not more than my words? It would have to be the Spirit of Truth working in both of us, would it not?

Who am I, then?

I am just a voice that is telling people, “We are living in the prophesied End Time and we need to pay attention to what is really happening to the world today, and to the prophesies about this time.” I am telling people that a real change is coming, but it is not the “Obama Change.”

This will be a global change when the rulers of the nations of this world will have their thrones taken from them and given to the righteous. It will be an age of knowledge, understanding, and truth like no other time ever in this history of humanity.

And I am also telling you that things are not what they seem. Many things that were spelled out long ago will be restored, and the true day of the Sabbath is only one of those.

In What “Context” do you live?

The problem obviously is exacerbated by the point of view. If one is living in a “context” of the Roman/Christian calendar or the Jewish lunar calendar, getting the mind around a different “legitimate” Sabbath is extremely difficult. Some even consider any day other than Saturday or Sunday completely “offensive.”

A Sabbath controversy actually preceded both Christianity and Judaism.

When the Kingdom of Israel split into the House of Israel and the House of Judah, the House of Israel changed the Sabbath day in their politics to the “eighth” day of the week, which is really the first day of the week. And that act along with many others finally led to their captivity by the Assyrians and ultimately to their dispersion among the nations.

Before this age comes to its prophesied end, the former House of Israel (Joseph/Ephraim), along with the current House of Judah will be given a new spirit, and will understand the instructions of the Torah and why that is important to them, to their offspring, and to the rest of the world!

But the nations of the world will take up war against the People of Jacob to destroy them. Although, it could well be that the NEW Kingdom of Israel (the result of uniting Ephraim and Judah — the leading tribes who represented the two divisions) will not be happen until after this age ends and Yahua of Elohim stands on the earth.

Is the Torah relevant, or are we much ’smarter’ now?

The term “Torah” (Hebrew: תּוֹרָה, “learning” or “instruction”) is actually not found in the part of Scriptures called the Torah, and other places where it is found is mistranslated “Law.” This is a reference that was added later to refer to the Five Books of Moses. Therefore, after the exile in Babylon, the prophets in the Spirit of Yahua warned the People to

“Remember the Torah of Mosheh, My servant, which I commanded to him at Horeb for all Israel — laws and right-rulings.” Malachi 4:4 (The Scriptures)

In other words, remember the Instructions (Torah) given to Moses.

Why would Malachi write this?

Malachi also warned the Priests:

“And now, O Priests, this command is for you! If you do not hear, and if you do not take it to heart, to give esteem to My Name, ” said Yahua of Armies, “I shall send a curse upon you, and I shall curse your blessings. And indeed, I have cursed them, because you do not take it to heart! See, I shall rebuke your seed, and scatter dung before your faces, the dung of YOUR festivals. And you shall be taken away with it. And you shall know that I have sent my command to you, as being My Covenant with Levi.”

How could the Priests of Israel have earned this rebuke?

Could it be that they stopped following the “Torah of Moses” and instead allowed others to teach in the place of the Levites — those who were set apart to be Priests?

How did the Levites become Priests?

“My covenant (agreement) with him (Levi) was life and peace, and I gave them to him, to fear. And he feared Me, and stood in awe of My Name. The Torah was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found on his lips. He walked with Me in peace and straightness, and turned many away from crookedness. For the lips of a Priest should guard knowledge, and they (the People) seek the Torah from his mouth, for he is the Messenger of Yahua of Hosts.”

But now what?

Today you cannot find a Priest, or someone from Levi who is fulfilling this role.

According to this prophecy, at one time the Priest knew “the Way.” The Instruction or the Torah is the Way, not only for Israel, but for all humanity.

Israel, all the 12 tribes, acted in proxy for all Peoples of the earth. So if Israel suffered because they left following the Way and the Instruction (Torah) given to Moses, how much more will those also suffer who should have heard the Instruction through the Nations of Israel and the Priests of Levi?

But Yahua allowed them to suffer, and will continue to allow them to suffer until they finally get back to “The Way.” But he will not destroy Jacob or make a full end of them, as might happen to the gentiles among whom Israel was scattered.

That is a promise.

Return to the Way is immanent

Therefore, if there is any decency among the People of “The Way,” then for their own sake and for the sake of humanity, they must open their minds to receive the Instruction. But it must be written on their hearts, not on stone.

And that is what Yahua said through Jeremiah:

“See the days are coming,” declares Yahua “when I will make a new covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah, not like the covenant I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant that they broke though I was a husband to them,” declares Yahua

“For this is the covenant I shall make with the House of Israel after those days,” declares Yahua: “I shall put My Torah in their inward parts, and write it on their hearts. And I shall be their Elohim and they shall be My People.”

And also Joel wrote something similar, but the events in this prophecy happen BEFORE the Day of Yahua

Blow a ram’s horn in Zion. Set apart a fast. Call an assembly. Gather the people. Set the assembly apart. Assemble the elders. Gather the children and the nursing babes. Let a bridegroom come out from his room, and a bride from here dressing room.

Let the priests, servants of Yahua weep between the porch and the altar. And let them say, “Spare your People, O Yahua and do not give your inheritance to reproach, for the gentiles to rule over them. Why should they (the gentiles) say among the People, ‘Where is their Elohim!’”

And let Yahua be jealous for His land, and spare his People. And let Yahua answer and say, “See, I am sending you the grain and the new wine and the oil, and you shall be satisfied by them. And no longer do I make you a reproach among the gentiles.”

“And you children of Zion, be glad and rejoice in Yahua your Elohim for he shall give you the Teacher of Righteousness, and cause the rain to come down for you, the former rain and the latter rain as before.

“Then I shall repay you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, and the consuming locust, and the gnawing locust, My great army that I sent among you. Then you shall eat — eat and be satisfied — and shall praise the Name of Yahua your Elohim who has done with you so wondrously. And My People shall never be put to shame. And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Yahua of Elohim and there is no one else. And My People shall never be put to shame.

“And after this it shall be that I pour out My Spirit on all flesh. And your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men dream dreams, your young men see visions. And also on the male servants and on the female servants I shall pour out My Spirit in those days.

“And I shall give signs in the heavens and upon the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke, the sun is turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of great and awesome day of Yahua.

“And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of Yahua shall be delivered.”

For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be an escape as Yahua has said and among the survivors whom Yahua calls.

When these thing happen before the close of this age, then following the Instructions, the Torah, will be natural to the People.

Malachi writing in the Spirit of Yahua declares that the Priests are held accountable …

“But you, you have turned from The Way. You have caused many to stumble in the Torah (Instruction). You have corrupted the covenant of Levi.” said Yahua of Armies. “And I also, I shall make you despised and low before all the people, because you are not guarding My Ways, and are showing partiality in the Torah.”

The problem for the People of the world is the utter lack of clear instruction. Also the Torah (Instruction) has been translated “Law,”  which is a completely different word in Hebrew.

This creates confusion.

As noted, the five  books of Moses never say they are the “Torah.”  One translation that I have is called “The Five Books of Moses.” That is similar to my book, “ENOCH: The Book Behind the Bible” which contains “The Five Books of Enoch.” So it is no surprise to me that Moses followed Enoch’s pattern.

However, the prophets recognized the wisdom behind calling the books, “The Torah of Moses.” Instead of the “Law” of Moses, because the word “Torah” precisely describes the intent, purpose and content of the books. These, like the Five Books of Enoch were set apart as instruction for all humanity. And they will continue to fulfill this role in ages to come.

Hence, we can only conclude the utter tragedy of the great deception that has led millions to accept a notion that the “Torah” was “done away.” This is pure nonsense. The lessons of instruction in the Five Books of Moses as well as the Five Books of Enoch contain the kind of natural understanding that could never pass away, as long as humans walk the earth.

This is another of many cases where Hebrew outshines Greek when it comes to the Knowledge of EL.

Declaration of Independence and Constitution related to the Torah

The history of law in the United States goes back to British Common Law. But the People of the United States do not know that British Common Law traces back to the Torah! In other words, the roots of our legal system were not from ecclesiastical (Christian) establishments, but rather from Hebrew law.

The Ten Commandments are the basic requirements for taking responsibility. The Hebrew word for commandment means a signpost, not a rule. The intent was that if one follows the signpost, one will be led to a better life. Other biblical laws include the 613 rules given in the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy. — Dr. Lawrence Wilson

In this regard, the word “inalienable” comes to mind. We lost the understanding of that word, and about the only thing we like to do is say it. But it means “not capable of being alienated or surrendered.” When applied to “rights” it is a reference to the kind of rights that all humans have, not because government gives them, but because government can neither grant them or take them away. But governments both secular and religious have convinced the people to abandon the rights given by the Creator. The example given is that “among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Those are only a part of a much large group. In other words, they are three examples taken from a much larger set. They are NOT the only “inalienable rights” we have! Here is the paragraph from “The Declaration of Independence”:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Therefore, when any government whether secular or religious attempts to take away that which has been given us by EL our Creator,  for our life and well-being, we, the People, must stand up secure in the knowledge that these corrupt and tyrannical governments will be brought down and destroyed, and replaced by such form of government, based on righteousness, that will “effect their safety and happiness.”

We cannot perform this righteous operation unless or until we understand the form of government given to us by the Torah. This is not a government that forces religious dogma or human secularism or socialism down upon an unsuspecting people.

If there is one thing Scripture teaches, it is this: Be careful about the OATHS that you make. The Scriptures are full of examples of people who made an oath and brought a curse upon their selves and their families, and upon nations. The Middle East crises is a result of oath breaking and the curses that followed. The land of Shem should never have been called “Canaan’s Land” because Canaan broke the oath that each of the sons and grandsons of Noah agreed to and sealed with a curse — that was to honor the lots drawn and to never try to take land belonging by oath to another. The same can be said that the land should not have ever been called Palestine, as the Philistines were also sons of Ham and bound by the same oath and curse as Canaan.

Jacob’s children also broke their oath to drive out the sons of Ham from the land given to Shem and promised to Abraham. “All that Yahua says, we will do.” And they didn’t. So we have the problems to this day. The result of an oath that was broken.

Every person serving in the government of the United States, must swear an oath or give his or her sacred word that they will “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” They are bound by an oath to do just that. They also take an oath to “faithfully execute the office of … ” (whatever office they have been given.) Therefore in this country willful or even careless violation of that oath, by not taking it to heart and performing as they swore or gave their word, puts them and this nation under a curse! You either do what you said you would do or else.

“I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” To which, some, including President Obama, added this phrase: “So help me God.”

Is it up to the People of the United States to make sure their oath taking leaders keep their word? After examining the examples in Scripture of oath breaking, I don’t think that would be the outcome. This is one of those “natural” things, just like our “natural rights” given by our Creator. It is the job of the Creator (Yahua) to set things right on behalf of His People. This is how oath-breaking works among the offspring of righteous fathers, like Enoch Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! And that is who we are.

What is the religion of Abraham or of Noah or Enoch?

With that in mind, let me ask you, “What is the ‘religion’ of Abraham?” If you say Jewish, that is not correct because Judah had not been born yet, and, of course, neither had Moses. By the time Judah was born, Abraham had already died. Obviously he was not “Christian” as that did not come along until the latter half of the first century, A.D.

OK, what about Noah? What was his “faith?” or How about Enoch

There is no religion, “faith,” or dogma or organization that can be applied as a label for them, is there?

But what about Moses? Maybe he had a religion? Some say he was Jewish, but that is still not possible as Judaism took form after the exile in Babylon and before, during the time of the Prophets who warned against the evils of religious tyranny in its many forms!

To say that the “Torah” is Jewish only shows a lack of understanding. The term “Jew” or “Jewish Religion” is not found in the “Torah.” Nor is the idea of an “immortal soul” and going off to heaven or hell after death!

Even Thomas Jefferson, who wrote The Declaration of Independence was not very fond of religious tyranny. During Jefferson’s and James Madison’s efforts to separate church and state, Madison pointed to history and argued that whenever “ecclesiastical establishments” had shaped civil society, they had supported political tyranny; never had they protected people’s liberties. George Washington wrote, “The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded upon the Christian religion.”

Walking and Talking with Elohim

I wish I could put a “RESET” button on this page that would take us back to sit at the feet of our fathers, Enoch Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, so that we could hear from them about what really matters in our relationship to our Creator! What was the one thing each of these had in common? They all “walked with Elohim” and with Yahua They not only walked with them, they also talked with them!

Pirating Inalienable Rights

The definition of “pirating” is “to lure away from another by promises of betterment.” It is theft without the pain of theft.

But today we seem more than happy to relinquish our “inalienable rights” and life in exchange for greater control from a corrupt and immoral government, one who is more than willing to pass laws that steal God-givens right and then totally control the lives of each “person.” 

Do you know that “person” is a legal term created by the government to define an entity that has no “inalienable rights?” Person applies with equal force to individuals, corporations, and states.”  The IRS is very careful to make sure that “Under penalty of perjury” you certify that you are “a U.S. person.” Whereas the Constitution states from the outset, “We the PEOPLE.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

But the current government doesn’t want you to know about who you are, what your inalienable rights are, how they are protected, and who is really in charge!

“All rights reserved!”

The Ninth Amendment to the Constitution reads:

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

This says even though the Constitution lists certain rights, does not and should not be thought that these and only these rights are protected. The people have other rights, not mentioned, that are inalienable and retained by the people. In other words, as far as the rights of the people are concerned, listed or not, all rights are reserved by the people!

“among these [rights] …”

“others [rights] retained by the people.”

A change is coming! Not like the “change” promised by the politicians. But before that change comes we the people must understand our position in this world.

• We are the descendants of righteous men who “walked with Elohim!”
• They had a spiritual relationship that gave them blessings and an understanding of the future of the their descendants.
• They were given Instructions about how to conduct their lives as a community and a nation.
• They were given Instructions in physical metaphors (Feasts and High days, sacrifices, what to “eat” and “not eat,” and about how and why to stay “clean” from the practices of the nations around them.)
• They were given Instruction about how to protect their freedoms and liberties from tyrannical governments and religions.
• When the descendents went astray, prophets were sent to warn and teach them about the importance of sticking with and earnestly desiring the Instruction given to Moses for All Israel.
• They were given promises that Yahua would not leave them, even though they might get lost in their own minds along the way as they wandered through the nations of the world.
• They were given prophecies, hope and understand through the revelations given to Enoch which he wrote in the Five Books of Enoch for his descendents.
• They were also give the Torah (instructions) of Moses, in the Five Books of Moses, which were for them and for the rest of world “throughout all generations.”

WE ARE THOSE PEOPLE! WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF ZION. And these things belong to us and our children — forever.

It is time for us to turn our hearts and minds to that which was promised to our fathers, and to remember the lives they lived. Because they were given insight and understanding concerning their and our future, they fought to maintain the relationship with Yahua and the Elohim (Family) that would provide the best and highest reward for us and the world. As a result, they were given the promises, and died without receiving them looking forward to the time when they and us together would take possession of the earth to lead it in righteousness!

YAHUA rise up and deliver Your People!

For this says Yahua of armies, “Once more, in a little while, and I will shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land …” Haggai 2:6

I have examined the calendar for this new year and found some interesting phenomena concerning the earth’s present condition. It seems as though more damage than first thought happened to the earth that resulted in what Enoch called “the first end.”

The prophecies in Enoch’s  “Book of the Luminaries” also showed that it would be difficult for the people to stay in sync with the revealed calendar. There are laws of the calendar given in his writings. But something happened to the earth and its relationship to the sun that removed the simplicity of Enoch’s revelation and left us with a problem of trying to understand the real situation.

Sometimes matters are hidden and the test is upon us to diligently search to find the answer. Then those with understanding will know, while others who do not have the desire to solve riddles, and who want to have it easy, will not understand.

So it is with the Laws of the calendar and how they apply in the present. Enoch was told by Uriel (a messenger) that these laws would continue until the new heavens and the new earth.

Where does that put us then?

From the Genesis account in the Bible, the fourth “day” of creation, the sun, moon, and stars were set for signs and appointed times. Because the time of the end of the ages is an appointed time, then does it not seem reasonable that we should understand the “times and the seasons?”

The laws of the calendar given to Enoch showed that the years was divided into quarters of 91 days each. The year had 364 days and consisted of nine months with 30 days and four months with 31 days. The extra day was added at the end of each quarter. Each of the quarters started on days that were directly related to the earth’s relation to the sun. The first and seventh month were tied to the equinox — the day when the sunset shadow cast by an upright west-facing pole lined up perfectly with an opposite east-facing pole. Or in the case of the great pyramid, the day in the year when the west and east facing sides at sunset or sunrise were fully illuminated while the north and south facing sides were in shadow.

The structure and alignment of the pyramid when looking down from the top, shows that the four sides, rather than being flat are angled toward the center of each side. This causes the north and south facing sides to be completely in shadow at the time of the spring and fall equinoxes at sunrise or sunset.

Something happened to the earth and its relation to the sun that messed up this tidy revelation

We can safely assume that when the earth and sun were set (fourth day) that it matched the revelation given to Enoch I wonder if Enoch felt that Uriel’s revelation was overstating the obvious. Or was it important for Enoch to record this design for future generations (ours) because the earth was going to change when the flood came?

The vision of the flood was given to Enoch while he was young — as he stated, “before he was married.” Later Noah went on a quest to find his great-grandfather, Enoch because “the earth was sinking!”

For Enoch the flood was considered, “the first end.” The phrase implies there is “another end,” does it not?

The creation of the earth, atmosphere, and the bringing about of life on it, according to Genesis 1 was the result of huge and violent events. The earth was covered in darkness and water. There was no atmosphere. Then something happened that caused the water to split into water on the earth and water above the earth with an atmosphere of sorts in between, probably by great heat causing the water on earth to boil.

But when the “dry land” appeared there was tremendous earthquake and volcanic activity that may have lasted for a some time. The atmosphere was probably filled with carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.

Then plant life began to flourish for a long time while it processed the CO2 to produce oxygen. Then as the plants decayed nitrogen was also released into the atmosphere. This did not happen overnight and natural processes were given full reign to produce a planet suitable for habitation by animal life, first birds and fish, and then mammalian life. If the birds, fish and bugs survived, then the earth was ready for mankind.

The waters above the earth probably in the stratosphere prevented or at least greatly reduced gamma rays from entering the troposphere and changing the nitrogen into radiocarbon or C14.

Thus the earth was made an ideal planet for life.

And so it was.

People then lived very long lives, and it seems that the first “age” or “week” of Enoch’s vision was a time of understanding and revelation. It was during this time that Enoch started to write his books.

Then it all fell apart — literally.

Enoch began to witness the terrible changes that were taking place on the earth. Corruption came as a result of the rebellion of some of the messengers (”Watchers”) who corrupted the people by teaching them stuff they really didn’t need to know. Enoch saw that the earth and its people were going to be destroyed. He also saw that the messengers were going to be “imprisoned.” Then Enoch prayed and asked God or EL to not destroy all life, but instead to preserve his seed and save the earth through them.

And so it was, and so we are.

There was life before the flood, and a different life after it.

Much different.

The water above was gone. As a result radiocarbon began to be produced. This unstable form of carbon entered the DNA of all living creatures. The result is an eight to ten times shortening of life spans in all living things.

The earth’s rotation speed also increased. The water above also had the effect of slowing the rotation speed like a skater who spins while holding her arms out. Then when the waters came down, the earth began to spin faster just like a skater who increases her rotation speed by drawing her arms close to her body.

But that was not all that happened to the earth.

As I tried to reconstruct Enoch’s calendar for publication, I found that I could not directly tie it to current solar events. The two key days of the calendar are the first day of the first month, and the first day of the seventh month. These are the equinox times. I noticed this in 2008 and found out some interesting and troubling things.

If the flood only caused the earth to rotate faster then it should be simple to deal with that fact, right? I thought, “Let the intercalary days at the end of each quarter take up the extra time.” But it isn’t that simple.

The period of time from spring equinox to fall equinox is longer than the time from fall equinox to spring equinox.

Something else changed and it wasn’t small either.

The orbit of the earth around the sun shows signs of a great perturbation — an event that actually caused the waters above the earth to be forced out of their “quiet” home in the stratosphere.

Not only that, this event also caused earthquakes and shaking of the earth to its core. Noah’s “sinking land” started before the flood came. It was after that that he was told to start building the ark or barge.

This shaking of the earth and later great disturbance to the earth’s atmosphere was also responsible for altering the earth’s orbit around the sun!

The only thing that could have caused such a great change is the presence of something large enough to disturb gravity.

Gravity is one of the great forms of energy that fills the universe. People think that gravity is a property of objects like planets, moons, and stars. But it really isn’t. These objects swim in gravity. They displace gravity. The larger the object, the greater the displacement. When that happens gravity “pushes” back. So what we experience on earth is not a pulling of gravity, but a pushing of gravity caused by the size of the earth in space. Now I know that physicists may argue this point, but there are no models that have proven an attraction between masses, unless that attraction is magnetic! For example, if gravity were not experienced as a “push” rather than a “pull” all the mass in the universe would be in one big glob. But the universe, rather than being pulled together, is actually being pushed apart. If you want to learn more about this then search for “gravitational push” on the Internet.

Here are the facts:

Although there is a slight variation from the year to year, the number of days from the summer solstice to the fall equinox is 93. And the number of days from winter solstice to spring equinox is 89 days. That accounts for 182 days. That means there are another 183 days in the year to come to 365 total.

What happened?

If at the beginning the earth was in a nice orbit where the year was 364 days with quarters of 91 days, then a change of this scope is not trivial, is it?

Now the first half of the year is 184 days, and the last half 181. The tidy 91 day quarters are gone, but the solar events still happen, don’t they?

It is easy to count the extra 1.242 days in our solar as a result of rotation speed increase, but that cannot account for the difference in time between solar events, can it?

If indeed something happened to the earth, then it must have happened to the solar system also.

The water above was pushed out of the stratosphere.

The land of earth was sinking!

Volcanoes and earthquakes caused the “fountains” to break up and come to the surface.

The earth was being shaken!

The event had the effect of stretching and compressing the orbit of the earth. It stretched the first half of the year and compressed the last half. Therefore, the time between the spring and fall equinoxes contains more days than the time between fall and spring equinoxes.

What could have caused such a massive change?

Scientist, including those as NASA, estimated that nearly 80% of all the solar systems are binary. That means that they have two “suns.” They also found that there are as many unseen “infrared” stars as there are visible stars in the sky. The unseen stars instead of producing bright light, like our sun, produce heat, and may only give off enough light to appear either brown or red, and only when close enough to be seen.

Therefore, the odds that our sun has a little brother are very high

Given the above lets take another look at the flood and see what might have happened, and then examine prophecies concerning our time.

Suppose a brown dwarf star larger than the size of Jupiter, complete with its own small set of planets may be in orbit around our sun. And suppose it doesn’t come by very often, like say every 5,000 years more or less. It doesn’t look like our sun. Instead it looks like a giant glowing ember from a coal furnace. If we were to see it in the sky, it would look like a red star. That means we may not be able to see it unless it is relatively close.

Now, given that its size is great enough, it causes a gravitational push of sufficient strength to actually change the orbits of the sun’s planets. This is called a perturbation. If it passed between the earth and the sun, it would have pushed the earth farther away from the sun so that more days are needed to reach the time of the next equinox. If it passed outside of the earth, with the earth between it and the sun, it would have pushed the earth closer to the sun. The effect is a change in the orbit of the earth from circular to elliptical. The consequence of this is the destruction of nearly all life on the planet.

Another scenario would be that instead of pushing it away from the sun, it may have caused the earth to speed up or slow down in its orbit. But that doesn’t make much sense, because even though it may have caused the orbit to speed up or slow down during the time of the  passing, then what happens to the earth’s orbit speed when this thing heads back into space?

Altering the earth’s orbit from circular to elliptical and slightly off center seems more plausible. This change would cause the earth to take longer on the far side of the ellipse and less time on the close side. This is the same pattern that comets or the probable second “sun” follow as they race around the sun. Only the scale is different.

What other force works in this process?

Magnetism. This has the effect of causing near objects to be drawn together or repulsed depending on their position relative to each other and the strength of the magnetic force of each. This is a property of each object.

But the “force” of gravity is a resultant of the amount of space they occupy. Because of gravity each object in the universe has an effect on each other object.

Ok, what does all this have to do with Enoch’s calendar?

First, the most important time is “the beginning of the months.” This was how it was put to the Israelites days before they were to leave Egypt. Regardless of what happens to the other solar events, only the “beginning” of the year is important according to the Law.

“This month is the beginning of the months for you, It is the first month of the year for you … on the tenth day of this month …” Exodus 12:2-3

Later, as we shall see, the earth may change back to a more ideal position relative to the sun. But we are not there now.

Once the beginning of the year is set, then every other day falls into place in sequence. Then at the end of the year, we have an extra day that is not on the calendar. Historically, this extra time was not even counted as a day of the week. It was just a thing that occupied time without meaning. My feeling is that it should be a memorial day, a world day of remembrance of the time when nearly all life was destroyed. It should also be a day of thanksgiving for honoring the prayer of our father Enoch who asked that his offspring be given a chance and allowed to continue after the flood.

I will be making this calendar available without charge as a PDF file in the Messages section of the blog. It will show the Sabbaths, Feasts and High Days, the beginning of each quarter and how this relates to the current Roman calendar. It will contain the 364 days of Enoch’s calendar. It will conclude with the extra day and time of remembrance while we wait for the beginning of the months to start again.

Shocking prophecies of our near future.

Many people expect the “two witnesses” to start their prophecy this year. I don’t. Nor do I expect any supposed “rapture.” However, I do expect that we will see a time of increased trouble. The world is undergoing a financial and economic meltdown due mainly to greed and corruption. Even now the congress of the United States is running around like headless chickens trying to spend trillions of dollars with the hope of finding a solution. A trillion is a million million. Even that is hard to imagine. 1,000,000,000,000. But they and we are not looking at one trillion, but rather a debt coming closer to 10 trillion!

Maybe this will put this in perspective.

A dollar bill is 6.125 inches long. If we have a trillion of those dollars, and we decided to lay them out end to end just to see how much money we have, we would create a line of dollar bills 97,037,389 million miles long! That is farther than the distance from the earth to the sun by 400,000 miles! We are looking at debt of 10 trillion dollars, which is a line of dollar bills 970,373,891 miles long. That is farther than the distance from the sun to Saturn — 886.7 million miles.

This amount of debt is so huge that the thought of paying it back is beyond comprehension. If you have any cash on hand, you may want to put it into bottles of vodka. Money becomes meaningless when the government turns to the printing press to pay off that kind of debt. It is highly unlikely that there are enough trees in the world to make the paper to print that kind of money unless they only print $100,000 bills.

But there is one thing that has been left out of this formula: natural disasters.

The prophecies of Revelation 8 and 9 describe what is called the opening of the seventh seal, the first trumpets, and “first woe.”

Enoch called the flood the “first end.”

So what is the “first woe?”

Believe it or not, it is the next big event to happen on the world. This is a series of related natural disasters that have a haunting ring that is similar to what I described above.

Some have claimed that the “sixth” seal has yet to be opened. My guess is that we may never notice it. It involves something that happens spiritually. And because the world is basically dead spiritually,  almost no one would see the opening and the events of the sixth seal.

But not so with the opening of the seventh seal and the first woe

That will be felt by everyone. This is the time when the prayers of the righteous will begin to be answered. It is the time of the “trumpet sounds and shouts” which are a symbol of those prayers. They have little or nothing to do with trumpet sounds announcing each new month. Rather these are the answered prayers of the righteous as the earth and its people are prepared for the coming of the eighth “week” or age of Enoch’s vision.

The first thing that happens is a warning that is accompanied by great noises, thunder, lightning, and a big earthquake. This is an attention getter. Just when or how this happens is not described, but what follows seems to indicate that something is happening outside of the earth.

The first trumpet sounds and hail and fire mixed with blood are thrown to the earth. Then massive fires destroys one third of the trees (say goodbye to printed money)  and all the grass is burned. This also comes to the earth from outside.

Then the second trumpet sounds and what looked like a great mountain was thrown into the sea making one third of the sea blood, and causing the death of one third of the living creatures in the sea, and in addition one third of the ships were destroyed (tsunami). Again, something came from outside the earth.

Then again, the third trumpet sounds and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the fountains of waters. In other words, something came from space and contaminated the water supply both the rivers and the waters under the earth. The result: many people die because of the poisoned waters.

Then a fourth messenger sounded his trumpet and the sun, moon and stars were darkened, and a third of the day was gone along with a third of the night. Something has entered the solar system and was so strong and big that both night and day were affected. The world and its people enter a time of great darkness.

But that was not the end.

The cry is “woe, woe, woe” to the inhabitants of the earth because of the three remaining blasts, which are about to sound.

Chapter 9 prophesies about the first and second woes. That which follows is only the first woe, and as you will see it is a continuation of what has happened with the first four trumpets.

The fifth messenger sounds his trumpet and once again, another star comes from “heaven” or space. This thing caused smoke to come up from “the deep pit”  like from a big furnace. The smoke also blackened the air and further darkened the sun. Then people began to be afflicted and tortured by the smoke for five months. Very likely the smoke was a mixture of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and arsenic. This came from space itself.

Only those who had the seal of Elohim were protected during this time of agony. The others without the seal sought to die, but could not. They continued to feel that agony from clouds and embers raining down on earth. These were likened to locusts coming down from heaven and behind them was the poison that tortured the people.

Then we are introduced to that which was responsible for all the suffering up to this time:

And they have over them a sovereign (king), the messenger of “the pit of the deep,” whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apolluon.

Abaddon means “wandering or traveling destroyer” and Apollyon means “destroyer.” The “pit of the deep” is not a reference to a pit on the earth, but more likely, a reference to the “deep pit” of outer space.

All of the events starting with the thunder, lightning and earthquake to the five months of torture came from this object that has approached and then entered into the solar system and afflicted the earth. The five months of relentless torture is the first woe.

These are the next events that the people of earth will experience. There will be more trouble from financial woes, corrupt and foolish governments, and conflicts between nations.

But be prepared for the time with the trumpets sound (the prayers of the righteous) as the earth begins to move closer to the next age.

The Conclusion

What does this mean for those who love the truth and righteousness? Although there is nothing specifically mentioned in the prophecies about the longterm effects of the first five trumpets and the first woe, there are positive results. I believe it is very possible that the events described above could restore the timing of the calendar back to its original design before the last seven years start.

For those who understand and have the blessing of protection during that time what could be more helpful than to know that the last years could be followed to the day. This is only a guess, but it is possible that the same force that made the change could also be the force that restores the earth. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Yahusha prophesied, “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars (planets). On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

What if you had a parent who made promises that you knew he or she would keep — no matter what? That would be pretty “cool,” would it not? Unfortunately, our parents, as good as they may have been, lacked one thing, the same thing we lack, the power to carry out what we promise. I know there are some who understand the importance of keeping their word, and if they can’t, they know to keep the mouth shut.

But what if I told you that there was one, the ultimate parent, who first gave us life, as parents do, and then had the power to make and to keep promises that affect our life today?

In my last post (which started this series on “Who in the world do we think we are?!”) I alluded to the fact that we really don’t have a good answer to that question. We don’t really know.

English Speaking Countries, Listen!

I am writing specifically to the people who find themselves in English speaking countries for one reason or another. Many of your parents were outcasts in the country from which they immigrated. The English “among us” brought the language and culture of England to the United States and set up colonies around the world. But most of the people of the United States came from a number of different European cultures (”the old country”), and had to learn the language of English.

But of these, few can trace their ancestry back very far. Of course, some can. I remember when as a child, I attended a number of different family reunions. One time at the “Ball Reunion,” I noticed in the pavilion someone had placed a chart on the wall that traced one of the lines in the family back to the royal family in Great Britain. In spite of the fact that my last name is from Europe, there never was a family reunion tradition for the Sakach family name. There certainly was for the other family names.

But that was it. If I have any royal blood coursing through my veins and arteries, it is not very much. But one thing I know for certain that I am an American, because my family history can be traced back to pioneers and outcasts who did not feel at home in their “old country.” They had to immigrate out of it to a new country — a land of promise!

That tells me that most of us in this country and in the other English speaking countries, do not really know who we are in this world!

But there are other cultures, that have been around for thousands of years who know who they are.

But we really don’t. But it is now time that we all understand — both the English speaking nations and the rest of the world!

Let’s get back to the promises.

Saved by the Prayers of our Righteous Fathers!

As I wrote, we have all descended from righteous men. If it were not for them and their prayers on our behalf, we may not be living today. When Enoch learned from a dream that the earth was going to be destroyed he prayed, and this is what he said,

I lifted up my hands in righteousness and blessed the Holy and Great One, and spoke with the breath of my mouth, and with the tongue of flesh, which God has made for the children of men with which they should speak. He gave them breath, a tongue, and a mouth with which they should speak,

“Blessed be You, O Lord, King, Great and mighty in Your greatness, Lord of the whole creation of the heaven, King of kings and God of the whole world. Your power, kingship, and greatness remain forever and ever, and throughout all generations. Your domain, and all the heavens are Your throne forever, and the whole earth Your footstool forever and ever.

For You made and rule all things, and nothing is too hard for You. Wisdom does not depart from the place of Your throne, nor turn away from Your presence. You know, see, and hear everything, and there is nothing hidden from You. You see everything.

And now the Messengers of Your heavens are guilty of trespass, and upon the flesh of men remains your wrath until the great day of judgment.

“Now, O God and Lord and Great King, I implore and cry to You to fulfill my prayer to leave me a posterity on earth and not destroy all the flesh of man. Do not make the earth without inhabitant, so that there would be an eternal destruction.

Now, my Lord, destroy from the earth the flesh that has aroused Your wrath. But the flesh of righteousness and uprightness establish as a plant of the eternal seed. Do not hide Your face from the prayer of Your servant, O Lord.” From Enoch: The Book Behind the Bible

We are a plant of the eternal seed!

Because of this prayer, offered by our father Enoch we are alive today!

Plant of the Eternal Seed?

What is the meaning of the “plant of the eternal seed?” If that is what we are, then don’t you think we ought to know what that means?

Enoch was not just praying that some people would survive the “first end.” He asked that the plant would live forever!

As we approach the end of this age, it will appear that the earth is doomed. But that will not be the case. Not only will there be survivors, but never again will wickedness gain the upper hand and seek to destroy “forever” the righteous from the earth.

“The flesh of righteousness and uprightness establish as a plant of the eternal seed!

How was that going to be carried out? It doesn’t seem possible that we have that power. Those who are doers of what is right are often overwhelmed by the doers of evil even today!

It gets back to the promises, doesn’t it?

The operation of the establishing the righteous plant began at the time the prayer was offered. The commitment and strong desire of our righteous father was heard and the job began.

Here is how it happened.

Enoch’s posterity would carry the seed through the flood.

In the Book of Enoch immediately following the prayer, is a recounting of another dream vision of Enoch where he saw the entire history of humanity from beginning to the ultimate destiny of all. It is too bad, the stodgy old church leaders decided keep this vision from you. In it is the future of the plant of eternal seed, and how they will bless the world and its people. But before that could happen promises were made.

Promises of blessing for the world

A certain man named Abram lived with his family in a place called “Ur.” His father and brothers had a business of making idols for the folk. It was an enterprise that apparently paid them well. Abram, however, objected to this business but his father, Terah, and brothers, Nahor and Haran, refused to listen. So one night Abram decided that enough was plenty and set their shop on fire. When Abram’s brother Haran saw the fire, he shouted at Abram, “What have you done?” then he ran into the shop to try to stop the fire and was instead killed.

And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth in Ur of the Chaldeans. Gen. 11

Haran was the father of Lot. But Abram, his wife Sarah, Lot, and Abram’s father Terah left Ur and went to Canaan and established a place called “Haran.” Terah died in Haran at age 205. The righteous plant was about to take root and grow.

Then Abram received a message from Yahua “Go yourself out of your land from your relatives and from your father’s house, to a land I will show you. [PROMISE] And I will make of you a great nation and bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing! And I shall bless those who bless you, and curse him who curse you. And in you shall all the clans of the earth be blessed.” From Genesis 12

The most important phrase of “promise”, which will be repeated over again and again, is “I will … ” or “I give …” or “I shall …”

So Abram left with his wife, his brother Haran’s son Lot and all their possessions and the people who worked for them and came to the land “occupied” by the Canaanites (descendents of Ham’s son). Abram was 75 years old when they left Hanan.

And Yahua appeared to Abram and said, “[PROMISE] To your seed I give this land.” And Abram built there an altar to Yahua who had appeared to him.

Then Abram moved to a mountain and “built there an altar to Yahua and called upon the Name of Yahua.” And he also pitched his tent there. From Genesis 12

“Call upon the Name of Yahua,” is the exact same phrase used to refer to Seth and his line after he had his son Enosh. It is important to understand that Abram is going to some effort to establish and guard this close relationship with Yahua

Abram and Lot both became very prosperous and eventually Lot had to move away from this valley and this mountain. And after he left …

Yahua said to Abram, “[PROMISE] Now lift up your eyes an look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, for all the land which you see I shall give to you and your seed forever. And I shall make your seed as the dust of the earth, so that, if a man could count the dust of the earth, then your seed also could be counted. Arise, walk in the land through its length and width, for I give it to you.” From Genesis 13

Abram then moved his tent again, this time to Hebron, and “built an altar there to Yahua.”

The amount of “promised land” keeps expanding. These promises are being made while the Canaanites and Perizzites (a mix of Hametic people who lived in villages in the country, including the Philistines) still occupied the land. I intentionally use the term “occupy,” because this land was given to Shem and his descendants by lot and signified by an agreement (oath) as noted earlier. And now it is given by promise to Abram and his offspring.

After these things the word of the Yahua came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Fear not, Abram: I am your shield, and your exceeding great reward.”

Abram said, “Yahua of Elohim what will you give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? Look, to me you have given no seed: and, see, one born in my house is my heir.”

Then the word of Yahua came to him, saying, [PROMISE] “This shall not be your heir; but he that shall come forth out of your own bowels shall be your heir.”  And he brought him forth abroad, and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars, if you be able to count them.” He said to him, “So shall your seed be.”

And he believed Yahua and He counted it to him for righteousness.

And He said to him, “I am Yahua who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.”

And he said, “Yahua of Elohim whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?”

And He said to him, “Bring me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”

And he took to Him all these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds he did not divide. And when the fowls came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram; and an horror of great darkness fell on him.

And He said to Abram, “Know of a surety that your seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not their’s, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. But you shall go to your fathers in peace. You shall be buried in a good old age. In the fourth generation they shall come here again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.”

When the sun went down, and it was dark, a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp passed between those pieces.

In the same day Yahua made a covenant with Abram, saying, [PROMISE] “To your seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates: [now occupied by] the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaims, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.” From Genesis 15

Abram assurance was a prophecy! “Know of a surety that …” The prophecy doesn’t say that the land was Egypt, but later this becomes clear. But there is another witness to this: the vision given to Enoch Here from “Enoch: The Book Behind the Bible” we have this dream vision …

Then that white bull [Noah], which had become a man, came out of that vessel [the ship], and the three bulls with him. One of those three [Shem] was white like that bull [Noah]. and one of them was red as blood [Japheth], and one black [Ham]. And that white bull left them.

And they began to bring forth beasts of the field and birds, so that there arose different genera: including lions, tigers, wolves, dogs, hyenas, wild boars, foxes, squirrels, swine, falcons, vultures, kites, eagles, and ravens; and among them was born a white bull [Abraham], and these began to bite one another.

But that white bull [Abraham,] which was born among them, begat a wild ass [Ishmael] and a white bull [Isaac]. The wild asses multiplied.

But that bull [Isaac] which was born from him begat twins: a black wild boar [Esau] and a white sheep [Jacob]; and the former begat many boars.

But that sheep [Jacob] procreated twelve sheep.

When those twelve sheep had grown, they gave up one of them [Joseph] to the asses [offspring of Ishmael], and those asses again gave up that sheep to the wolves [Egyptians], and that sheep grew up among the wolves. And the Lord brought the eleven sheep to live with it and to pasture with it among the wolves: and they multiplied and became many flocks of sheep.

And the wolves began to fear them, and they oppressed them until they killed their little ones by throwing their young into a river that had much water. Then those sheep began to cry aloud on account of their little ones, and to complain to their Lord.

Skeptics will say that this was written after the fact. However, there is a problem with that reasoning. When, then, was it written? This dream covers the whole history of the human race, as does the vision of the Weeks. It is not possible to time stamp either of these after the fact because portions happened after the time they claim it was written and some prophesied events have not yet happened. According to Enoch’s account, this vision came to him before he was married, and when he was a young man staying with his grandfather!

Now the promise extends from the Nile in Egypt to the Euphrates in Iraq! And it also includes more offspring than can be numbered, like the dust of the earth or like the stars. And some think that this only includes the Jews in the State of Israel. Come on! Learn the history of the world’s people and quit imagining fables.

A Failure to Believe the Promises?

The promises are to Abram and to his seed. But then something happened. Abram and Sarai become impatient and Sarai gave her servant to Abram with the idea that Sarai could be “built up by her.” But that was not to be.

Hagar, Sarai servant, did conceive through Abram and this started a bunch of trouble. Sarai drove her servant away. Then a Messenger of Yahua came to Hagar and said, “Hagar, Sarai’s female servant, where have you come from, and where are you going?

She said, “I am fleeing from the presence of Sarai, my mistress.”

The Messenger of Yahua said to her, “Return to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hand. I am going to increase your seed greatly, too numerous to be counted. Look, you are conceiving and bearing a son, and shall call his name Ishmael, because Yahua has heard your affliction. And he is to be a wild man, his hand against every one and every one’s hand against him, and shall dwell over against all his brothers.” From Genesis 16

Abram was 86 years old when Ishmael was born. But it is important to catch the promise that was made to him, and compare that with the promises that were made to the true heir.

And when Abram was ninety-nine years old, then Yahua appeared to Abram, and said to him, “I am the El Shaddai; walk before me, and be you perfect. [PROMISE] And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”

And Abram fell on his face: and Elohim talked with him, saying, “As for me, behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. Neither shall your name any more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made you. [PROMISE] And I will make you exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you. I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be Elohim to you, and to your seed after you. And I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land wherein you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their Elohim.”

A man and his family have been singled out from all of humanity to be a blessing to the rest. He has been promised a section of the earth that will be his possession forever and belong to his offspring through a particular son, who has not yet been born. This man is now 99 years old. His wife, Sarai, is also almost 90 years old and it doesn’t look like either of them can even have children at this time in life. Yet the promises were made over and over again and each time they grew in scope and power!

What is happening here? What is the real focus of these promises and events, and what happened to his offspring, who were to be as the “dust of the earth.” Where are the many nations? Is this some horrible joke, or has something really happened that for one reason or another is not in our thoughts?

Where are these people, these nations, and what is their role on the earth today?

To be continued …

There are many myths surrounding this important body of knowledge. Some of it has been corrupted by white supremacists and religions to the point where any thinking person would be ashamed to be associated with the truth.

But that is going to change.

That does not mean that these groups are going to give up their teachings, but that others who have insight will come to understand where the groups are mistaken and what the truth really is.

Fear is a powerful tool. But fear is not a good motivator, at least not in the direction of true understanding and enlightenment. But fear seems to reign in the hands of religion’s leaders. And the knowledge of origins is something they think you should fear.

Illogical?

Of course.

But here is what religious leaders fear the most: that you will learn the truth apart from their doctrines and teachings. Could it be that there are some things they don’t want you to know?

For example, if promises and covenants were made to your forefathers, would you like to know what they are and how that may affect your life now? What if some of those promises were made conditional upon what you choose to do or not do, and that your decision is now working against you?

If I said that former prophecies are a fact of life, would you believe me? Many teachers and preachers have done that, only they did not provide any evidence to support their claims. Entire religions have been built on the pontifications of their leaders, and that has corrupted millions of people.

I don’t want you to believe me on the basis that I said this or that is true. You need evidence.

False Prophets and Their Fantasies

For example, in 1830 the founders of one religious group published works of fiction and fantasy and made claims that their stories are true but had been hidden under the earth in New York. They also claim these "gold" documents require "special" skills to translate into "King James English." However, because that is inconsistent with the language of the early 1800s, they attempted to force the idea that this was the way most of the people talked in the early 1800s. And if that wasn’t enough, they assert that the gold documents were taken up to heaven, which, of course, prevents others from doing research to verify their claims.

But at the time of the founding of this religion, the story of this "special book" and the people behind its creation was reported by many newspapers from Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Click here to see articles from Ohio that were written about or during the same time this book was published. Not one was written in King James English.

I bring that up here because if you believe what they have to say about your forefathers, you will be kept apart from the truth and instead be following fables. And about that, here is the warning written by Peter the Apostle:

We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Yahushua the Chosen and Anointed One, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

And we have the word of the prophets made more certain and you will do well to pay attention to it as to a light in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

Above all you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit!

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them — bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. II Peter 1 & 2

World Origins Known and Unknown

We can trace the origin of nearly all of the rest of the world back to their fathers who were born after the flood of Noah.

But for some reason, we do not know who we are! We only trace our lives back a few hundred years. The others go back 1,000s of years.

So who are the people of the United States, UK, Canada, and the nations of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa? Where did these people come from and why are they aligned with Israel and considered enemies by the Islamic states and religion?

In determining identity, there is much that is misunderstood and misapplied. Because the world is divided by racial lines, “race” becomes the issue in the minds of most people.

However, if we go back to our origins we, everyone in the world, descended from a line of righteous fathers! Seth is our father. Enoch is our father, along with Methuselah, and Noah. There are no descendants of Cain in the world today, although some would like to think so. There is no “seed” of Cain, because the line from Adam through Noah was “perfect.”

“Noah was a righteous man, perfect in his generations (Seth, Enosh, Enoch etc.) Noah walked with Elohim.” Gen 6:9

Cain and a not so perfect generation …

There is implied in the history of humankind, a “culling” out. The first was the removal of the line of Cain. Cain and his offspring proved by their actions that they were imperfect, and they brought a curse upon the earth.

Abel (Hebel) became a keeper of sheep, but Cain (Qayin) became a tiller of the ground.

Cain brought an offering from the ground to Yahua but Abel brought a firstborn from his sheep and from the best of them. Abel’s offering was accepted.  Although offerings from the ground can be acceptable according to the Torah, Cain’s was not. He apparently didn’t care about how good or worthy it was. Instead of offering the best, he offered the tainted and the worst of his crops. Then Cain became upset when his offering was not accepted.

And Yahua said to Cain, "Why are you wroth? And why is your face fallen? If you do well, is there not acceptance? And if you do not well, sin is crouching at the door, and its desire is for you, but you should master it!"

Cain, rather than being humble and willing and eager to learn to do what is acceptable, went after his brother and killed him! This did not go unnoticed, and it certainly was not acceptable. His actions then brought a curse upon him that stayed with him and his offspring for the rest of their life.

And Yahua said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?"

And he replied, "I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?"

Not the right response, was it?

And Yahua said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground! And now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. If you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth."

In other words, Cain failed the test. He did not even see the evil in his spirit until after he found that he had brought a curse on his head. Now he could not bring an acceptable offering, even if he tried, because what he planted from then on produced diseased and bad crops.

The Line of Seth

After Seth was born and had a son, Enosh, “at that time men began to call on the Name of Yahua.” Also it was written that Seth was born after Adam’s likeness and after his image.

This makes one wonder what the other offspring of Adam looked like. I wrote in another place that scientists discovered that Neanderthals could talk and communicate just like other “humans,” and that their bones were discovered alongside other “humans.”

Now here is the truth: Even though Adam and Seth had other sons and daughters, the flood culled out the human “race” down to the line of Seth through his son Enosh through Noah!

But that was not all.

There was another high purpose for a part of the human race that promised a blessing for all. This required the selection and creation of a nation of people whose ultimate purpose was to benefit all the rest. They were called the Righteous Branch.

The Dividing of the World Leads to a Select Group of People

This also required the spiritual separation of these people from the rest and the securing of their destiny with promises and agreements.This included dividing of the land according to family lines. This is explained in more detail in the Book of Jubilees. The land was divided by lots first between the three sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Then it was further divided by lot among their offspring. This was confirmed by an oath, in which they agreed to respect the outcome of the lots. They agreed that a curse, as part of the oath, is upon any who would violate the oath and take lands belonging to others.

Canaan, Ham’s son, was the first to violate the oath, and Shem’s land became known as “Canaan’s Land.” Later, the Philistines, who descended from another one of Ham’s sons also took part of Shem’s land and it became known as Palestine. Both the Russians and Iranians still refer to the Palestinians as “Philistines.” And on account of the oath and the curse that was agreed to by their fathers, we have trouble in that land today. In spite of vindictive claims to the contrary, the Philistines don’t belong in that land!

It is interesting that those aligned with Arab religion Islam come from all three of the sons of Noah: for example, Ishmael (Saudi Arabia) from Abraham, the Philistines (in Israel) from Ham, and the Iranians (in Shem’s tent) from Japheth. This means that of these three only the descendants of Ishmael can rightly consider themselves to be Semitic. It is a mistake to assume that the Canaanites, Akkadians, and Philistines are Semitic. They are and always have been Hametic.  There are some who say these and others are Semitic, when in fact, they are not!

What is a Melchizedek?

Shem was considered to be a Melchizedek priest and the founder of Jerusalem. This was long before the Levites came from Jacob’s son Levi. In other words, there was a recognized priesthood of righteous men that apparently started either with Enoch or perhaps, Seth’s son Enosh.

The Book of Jasher in chapter three contains more information about Enoch’s work while he lived on the earth. He was a king and a teacher of righteousness. He fulfilled the role of a priest by teaching the people righteousness.  His teaching had a big impact on his son Methuselah, on his  grandson Lemek, on his great-grandson Noah and on Noah’s three sons. They all fulfilled the role of being kings and priests after the order of Melchizedek. But Shem excelled at this.

It is important to understand that Melchizedek means "King of Righteousness." This is certainly something that Enoch fulfilled as recorded in the Book of Jasher. Whereas the Levites are priests because of their lineage through their father Levi and mother in accordance with the Torah. Although they were supposed to be righteous men, they often were not, particularly during the time leading up to and following the captivity of the Houses of Israel and Judah and leading up to the dispersion in 135 AD.

But that could not have been the case with Melchizedek priests. These were righteous men and world leaders, known and respected for doing and teaching right. They did not gain this position because of race, tribe, or family, but only on the basis of their own personal relationship with Yahua and the Elohim! Also when they died, their future was secure. They would be raised to immortal life as taught by all Scriptures.

This is not some religious "order" that people can join. It is as much a gift to each individual as is the gift of life. 

And it is important for those of us living in Western Civilization to understand what role this will play in our future! Therefore, we must not be ignorant when it comes to who we are in this world and why!

To be continued …

Both of these forces have been at work ever since mankind arose from the swamp. Well, some believe we climbed up from "pond scum." (That belief could be the result of deception, could it not?) Some don’t think so. Other’s have made a career of it. Both want you to agree with them.

But is that deception?

Or is it simply a lack of knowledge? After all there are no surviving witnesses, and even the proto-man or woman could not give testimony as to how they came to be, could they? Unless they were told.

Therefore, it is no surprise to realize that this entire world, people, nations, language, whatever, have been thoroughly deceived.

And, according to the written prophecies, it will get worse before deception of the masses is purged from humanity.

Here is where it gets difficult. …

The people on earth do not think they are deceived at all!

We go about our day to day routines. Clean our houses, huts, tents, boats, and igloos. and prepare and consume our food, run our errands, and work. We do all these things thinking that everything is normal and as it should be, or at most, "this is the best we got."

Some people live miserable and unhappy lives, and that is sad. Others appear happy and carefree. Some even brag about "how good it is."

But is the whole world deceived?

What forces, from the very beginning, have "pulled the wool over our eyes?"  And was that done intentionally, and by forces nobody has seen?

And after that, what did we think?

That we experienced "good" in the process.

Although, the story of Adam and Eve in the garden has become a cliche, the fact that they were victims of deception has been overlooked by most.  Eve took the "apple" and ate it, and then gave another to Adam. Why? Not because it "tasted" good. She had no idea about its taste until she took a bite out of it. But at the time these thoughts were in her mind:

(1) she "saw" that it was "good for food;"
(2) It was "pleasant to the eyes;"
(3) that it was "desirable to make one wise."

How could she get all that information from the tree? How could she tell that it was good for food? And how could it "make her wise."

It was in the "packaging" and the "sales pitch," was is not?

These are all conclusions based upon information that she received from another source that morphed her thoughts into these conclusions. This was how the "apple" was "sold" to her, and she then used the same "reasoning" to "sell" it to Adam.

The next time you go shopping for food in your grocery store examine the packages and the "sell." Look for statement that refer to "color" and "texture" of the product, particularly of vegetables. What do the words mean? Fresh, natural, organic, healthy? Is the package "pleasant to the eyes?" Do you find promises that the product will make you healthier? What does "vitamin enriched" mean? Why do foods need to be "enriched?" What does "low fat" mean? And is that good?

Why do pet food pieces come in different colors and shapes? Who is that for? Certainly not the pets. They prefer taste and smell as a way to measure value. But then, is it not possible that "taste" and "smell" can be engineered to appeal to your pets, even though the food may not be good for them? And pets don’t base their choice on either color or shape, do they?

Perform this same analysis on TV commercials. What are they selling? Really?

Now imagine that you have a vegetable and fruit garden. Do you need anyone to sell you on color, texture, taste, smell, feel or condition (fresh or not)?

Why then do the manufacturers and package designers go to such effort to convince us to buy their product? Because we believe their words and convince ourselves that we are making a "wise" decision when we buy a product on that basis alone, are we not?

A package in a plain white box with blue letters that says "crackers" or "beans" may be telling the truth, but we don’t often make buying decisions on the basis of truth, do we?

Before we move on, think about this: It is entirely possible to make kibbled human food that is rich in nutrients, fiber, essential fats, protein, carbohydrates, and has balanced PH and tastes delicious that we could buy in refillable and simply marked 50-pound containers, and on which we could live for our entire life. Don’t believe me? Talk to your dog or cat.

We must move on to some less obvious yet more powerful forms of deception.

The reason we eat what we eat, and buy what we buy, is because it makes is "happy." We are willing to subject our emotions to some deception in the hope that we will feel good.

And this is when we really get overwhelmed by deception.

Would you want to have to live with something that makes you feel bad or unhappy? Don’t you want to feel good all the time?

That is why the most powerful forms of deception are effective on us.

Most people in the world do not know or are unaware of powerful spiritual forces at work whose main purpose is to blind us from the truth. Therefore we are convinced that truth is bad, but feeling good all the time is good.

There was a very interesting documentary on the History Channel on cable TV that told the story about how the Catholic Church became convinced that they, more than any other church, had the power to perform exorcisms.

Now when most people saw this show, I am sure that they were convinced that the Catholics came out on top, and the Protestants in second. At least that was the way it was presented. However, the assumption was that demon possession, which was the spine of the script, was only a terrible problem that sometimes happens to people like getting poison ivy.

Overlooked and probably completely missed in this historical event, was that the demons (also called "evil spirits") were as much a player in this drama as the church officials!

Now I know that few people believe that demons exists. And nothing I can say would convince them otherwise. But like prophecy, people do not need to know about or believe a prophecy for it to be fulfilled. Prophecy does not depend upon us either believing it or not. Spiritual forces bring it about.

So it is with negative spiritual forces. They can do what they do whether we know about it or not, and our belief or disbelief at the time has no effect. However, as we shall see, our beliefs are very often the target of negative spiritual forces.

We are ignorant of events taking place in our foreground and background that are controlled by hidden spiritual forces.

Two things happen.

• First, we see the event.
• Second, we are given thoughts about it.

We never think that both the event and the thoughts about it could be part of a well-planned deception.

The story told about six nuns who suddenly "came down with" a bad case of demon possession. This presented an opportunity for the Catholic Church to once and for all prove to the people that they had the "power" to cast out demons. So they brought in the experts, who proceeded to perform their incantations, candle and incense burning, prayers, crucifix waving, and scripture reading. Then after enough world attention had been drawn to this unusual case, the demons "magically" left the six nuns.

And the advantage goes to whom?

In the eyes of both the church and the people, the commonly accepted thought was that the church won and that it "had the power."

Was that the truth? Or was something far more evil at work?

To understand what really happened we must be aware of the "dark side."

Who really had control over this event?

What caused the nuns to be "demon possessed?" At the time "demon possession" was a question raised by both Protestants and Catholics. After all did not the scriptures say that the "followers of Jesus" should be able to "cast out demons?" Well, the scriptures don’t put it that way exactly, but people do.

Now, whether or not someone believes in demons or evil spirits doesn’t matter in this situation, does it? The people saw or only heard about the nuns and their actions, and in their minds they were convinced that this was a major case of "demon possession." They also came to believe that whoever "cast out" these evil spirits must be, according to "logic," the "one true church," right?

From the point of view of the demons, here is what really happened.

Masses became concerned as a consequence of church teachings that there was something about cases of  unexplained mental illnesses that must be "dealt with." The evil spirits saw this as an opportunity to gain even greater control over the religion, so they hatched a plan.

If the evil spirits could convince the people that the main religious body had superior power, they could gain influence over the church leaders, in the eyes of the people, by appealing to their ego and lust for this power. This would cause the masses to flock to the church and be even more subjugated to its influence.

The conditions were in place to stage a massive demonstration (note that word contains the word "demon" ). Therefore, the evil spirits decided to use the nuns by controlling their minds and bodies as a tool to sway the masses. This drew widespread attention and competition between Protestants and Catholics. The Protestants had their own real or imagined cases of demon possession, but the Catholics had demon possessed nuns!

Then, as noted above, the "experts" came, and, in time, the evil spirits left the nuns. And as a result, the demons, who had the power to possess and “not possess,” convince
d the Catholic Church leaders about a supposed "power" and thereby millions of people were deceived and drawn into the apostasy!

{Apostasy, by the way, means a way of life that is based on something other than the true foundation — the kind of life prevailing in the world.)

The demons or evil spirits succeeded in the deception. The Protestants and the Catholic Church and millions of people lost. Their entire belief system changed and exorcism has become a major part of the Church’s system.

If demons exist, is there any clue as to their origin?

Yes, there is!

The Scriptures, as we know them, raises questions and does not provide the answers. Therefore, it remains for us to search out the meanings. For more information about this process click here. 

Here is one of those mysterious statements for which the Scriptures provides little information.

And it came to be, when men began to increase on the earth, and daughters were born to them that the sons of Elohim saw the daughters of men that they were good. And they took wives for  themselves of all who they chose.

The Nephilim [giants] were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of Elohim came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. From Genesis 6

There is no point in speculating as to the meaning of this passage. Many translators and preachers have perverted what is summarized here. Some claim that beings from other planets invaded the earth. And others draw a distinction between races, and try to pass along the idea that the line of Seth intermarried with the line of Cain.

There is no need to speculate as long as we have a more detailed scriptural reference that must be considered first. The apostles quoted from this document. Therefore, in their mind, this document was considered as having the authority and reliability of Scripture. The document is the Book of Enoch or I Enoch.

The Book of Enoch or I Enoch contains five books. The first book is known as "The Book of the Watchers." The following section from that book provides more detail about the questions raised by Genesis 6 …

Chapter 15

“And the Lord answered and said to me, and I heard His voice:

“ ‘Do not be afraid, Enoch you man of right doing and writer of what is right. Approach Me and hear my voice. Go, say to the Watchers of heaven, who have sent you to intercede for them:

‘ “You should intercede for Mankind, and not Mankind for you. Why have you left the high, set apart, and eternal heaven, and had intercourse with women, and defiled yourselves with the daughters of Mankind, and taken to yourselves wives, and done like the children of earth, and conceived giants as your sons?

‘ “And though you were set-apart, spiritual, and living the eternal life, you defiled yourselves with the blood of women, and conceived children with the blood of flesh, and, like the children of men, lusted after flesh and blood like those who die and perish, which is why I gave them wives that they might impregnate them and produce children by them, so that nothing might be lacking to them on earth.

‘ “But you were formerly spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world, which is why I have not appointed wives for you, because for the spiritual ones of heaven, heaven is their home.”

“ ‘And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, will be called evil spirits on the earth, and the earth will be their home. Evil spirits proceeded from their bodies because they are born from Mankind and from the set-apart Watchers. From this came their beginning and primary origin. They will be evil spirits on earth, and “evil spirits” they will be called.

“ ‘As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their home. But for the spirits of the earth, which were born upon the earth, on the earth will be their dwelling.

“ ‘And the spirits of the giants [will continue to] afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble. But they take no food, even though they hunger, thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits will rise up against the children of men, and against the women because they proceeded from them.

Chapter 16

“ ‘From the days of the slaughter, destruction, and death of the giants, from whose flesh the [evil] spirits have gone forth and these will corrupt [deceive] without incurring judgment - thus they will  corrupt [deceive] until the day of their ultimate end, the great judgment in which the age will come to an end; until everything is concluded upon the Watchers and the godless.’ "

From "Enoch: The Book Behind the Bible"

We are not alone!

What this passage tells us is that we share this world with evil spirits who deceive and lead us astray. Unless we have the Spirit of Elohim we are vulnerable to powerful deception that can remain undetected.

If you have the "ears that hear and the eyes that see," then you will understand what I am about to say. …

We are getting much closer to the end of this age. This has also the time when judgment will be meted out upon the Watchers, their offspring — the evil spirits, those messengers in heaven who have also followed after the adversaries, and those on earth who are also called the wicked and who have aligned with the adversaries. Their power is going to be taken away and given to the righteous, the doers of right.

As the line is "drawn in the sand,"   the "great judgment" will happen on earth at the end of this age — the Seventh Week of Enoch’s vision. The spiritual powers of heaven and those on the earth will be focused upon the earth where the final battles will take place.

One of the key weapons will be great deception and the people of the earth, whose names have not been written in the "Lamb’s Book of Life," will be captured by the deception and join forces and give allegiance to the Great Deceiver. Armies of hundreds of millions will wage war against the righteous and the elect or chosen.

This will require patient endurance and trust on the part of the righteous and elect, and they will be saved out of this when the armies of the evil ones will be destroyed. Then the deceivers, both the Watchers (the angels that sinned) and the evil spirits will be removed from their positions of influence and no one will be a prisoner to them again forever.

Now is not the time to sleep or become hardened. This is the time when the righteous and the elect will become clean and pure. They will know who they are and what has been promised from the foundation of the world. Then, as the day draws ever closer, they will lift up their hearts and embrace the future, where their hope waits for them.

sol·stice (From Merriam-Webster.com/dictionary)
Pronunciation: \ˈsäl-stəs, ˈsōl-, ˈsȯl-\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin solstitium, from sol sun + -stit-, -stes standing; akin to Latin stare to stand 
Date: 13th century
1 : either of the two points on the ecliptic at which its distance from the celestial equator is greatest and which is reached by the sun each year about June 22 and December 22; 2 : the time of the sun’s passing a solstice which occurs about June 22 to begin summer in the northern hemisphere and about December 22 to begin winter in the northern hemisphere

This post contains a fresh look at the prophecies including those of Daniel, Zechariah, and John that make clear what events will happen in the end of this age and why. We are given this information at this time so that those who hear will know what is shortly coming on the world.

This is the revelation of Yahushua which Elohim gave to Him to show His servants what has to take place with speed. Revelation 1:1 (The Scriptures)

“There will no longer be any delay!” …

According to the laws of the calendar the first day of each quarter is also the fourth day of the week on Enoch’s calendar and each quarter always starts on the fourth day of the week. This happens because this revealed calendar is synchronized with the day of creation when the sun, moon, and stars were set for signs and appointed times. The weekly Sabbath started on the seventh day of the week. That means that the Sabbath would be synced to start on sunset of December 24 and continue until sunset of Thursday, December 25.

The last quarter placed the first weekly Sabbath starting at sunset on Thursday, September 25 and ending on sunset of Friday, September 26.

This will seem hard to comprehend for those who are used to following either the Christian/Roman calendar or the Jewish/Babylonian lunar calendar. The other complicating factor is that the earth is rotating faster now than it did before the flood of Noah’s time. This change of speed is not much and only adds 1.242 “days” or 29.808 hours from solar event to the same solar event one year later. This amounts to 7.452 hours per quarter.

However, the amount of elapsed time in hours, minutes and seconds (or some other unit) from winter solstice to winter solstice is the same now as it was before the flood. Confusion enters when we count days only and neglect solar events.

Forces will begin to shake the planets …

As our solar system moves through the outer edges of our galaxy other forces affect the sun and the planets  This movement forms the basis for the Mayan prophecies of 2012 on the Christian/Roman calendar. Our solar system as it travels as a unit through our galaxy is subject to perturbing forces that cause minor changes in planet positions and orbits. Even the sun can be subject to perturbations, but that would require enormous objects.

Gravity is a force that exists throughout the universe. It has been discovered that the gravity that we experience on earth is not a pull coming from the earth, but rather a push that we experience as our planet cuts through the gravitational force present in the universe. Our weight then is not the amount of pull coming from the earth but rather the amount of push exerted upon us as our flying home makes its way through the gravitational force experienced by all bodies in the universe.

The larger the body, then the larger amount of gravitational force is displaced. This is also known as “gravitational radiation.”  [GR] If the earth flies through a rogue source of GR, for example, caused by a wandering binary star of sufficient size, then the earth will be perturbed by this “wave” of gravity caused by the speed  and mass of the rogue object. This could cause a change (perturbation) in the properties of the earth, such as alterations in rotation speed, changes in the orbit, shifting of polar inclination relative to the sun, stresses on the core and surface of the earth, unheard of changes in tides, debris and gases mixing in our atmosphere, cosmic dust clouds changing the light from the moon, sun and stars, and large fluctuations in atmospheric pressure.

I write about these things because of something is about to start happening — something prophesied long ago by the prophets and the apostles. As we come close to the end of this age events will begin to alter life on the earth. Some of these have already begun as we have experienced in the prior quarter of Enoch’s year starting with the equinox in September.

Cleaning up the mess …

The nations of the world are still under shock and perplexed by the massive tide of economic and financial woes that have afflicted billions. Most world economists and financial experts struggle to find solutions of sufficient power to restore the flow of cash.  On that subject here is a vision that was given to the post-exilic prophet, Zechariah:

I looked up again, and I saw a flying scroll. “What do you see? he [the messenger] asked. And I replied, “A flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.”

“That,” he explained to me, “is the curse that goes out over the whole earth. For everyone who has stolen, as is forbidden on one side [of the scroll], has gone unpunished; and everyone who has sworn [falsely, or lied], as is forbidden on the other side of it, has gone unpunished. [But] I have sent it (the curse) forth — declares Yahua of Armies — and [the curse] shall enter the house [and/or business] of the thief and the house [and/or business] of the liar, by My Name, and it shall lodge inside their houses [and/or businesses] and consume them to the last timber and stone.” Zechariah 5:1-4 (Nevi’im).

This is happening now, even as I write this post. And it will continue to happen until it “consumes them to the last timber and stone.” Because Yahua will take control of the earth and its nations and peoples, he will start by cleaning up the widespread thievery, deception, and corruption.

The sooner we get on board with that program, the sooner can economic and financial health be restored to the earth and its people.

The Woman in the Pot …

The rest of Zechariah 5 tells about the vision of an ephah measuring pot with a lead cover. The pot holds a woman who was called “wickedness.” Two women messengers (or angels) with wings like those of a stork, came on the “winds of heaven” and picked up the pot with the woman inside and carried it to Babylonia “to build a house” or “shrine” for it, and when the house ready, the measuring pot will be set there in its place.

Obviously, there is a lot of meaning embedded in the vision. The woman in the pot, “Wickedness,” was being set aside and reserved for a time yet to come. However, the context shows that this “setting aside” follows the events mentioned above. Just how much time elapses between these two events (the curse on the thieves and liars, and the reserving “wickedness” to deal with in the future, we don’t know. 

But after “Wickedness” is put in the “holding tank” in Babylon (the desert of Iraq), then the vision continues and Zechariah is shown four chariots coming out from two mountains of bronze. In prophecy “mountains” equates with large nations.

But the bronze relates to Daniel’s dream vision of the statue, whose belly and thighs were made of bronze!

This statue was actually seen by Nebuchadnezzar in a dream, and Daniel was given the understanding of the dream. Daniel told the king …

“You looked, O king, and there before you stood a large statue — an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay.

“While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were broken in pieces at the same time and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.”

Nebuchadnezzar was the head of gold. He was the King of Babylon, where the woman in the pot was placed. Daniel told the king,

“You, O king, are the king of kings. The God of Heaven has given you dominion and power and might and esteem; in your hands he has placed mankind and beasts of the field and the birds of the air. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.”

What is often missed in understanding this vision is that this statue of the succession of world government is one entity that started with Babylon and has continued in one form or another ever since. That structure, which made up the religions and government of Babylon, is alive and functioning in today’s religions.

The meaning of the judgement on “Wickedness” vision …

The meaning of this vision is made clear, if we follow the progression of events in the book of Revelation. Chapters 17 and 18 tell about “the punishment of the great prostitute” Some think this is the end time Nations of Israel. However, I don’t think so. Instead this ties directly to Daniel’s dream vision and to the vision given to Zechariah!

Daniel explains that the end time will be the time when the statue’s feet consisting of a mixture of iron and clay will be in control.

“Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

“In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.”

Some also thought this might be a resurrected Holy Roman Empire. But again, I don’t agree. The Roman Empire (the legs of iron), included the Holy Roman Empire and the Church that became it, will still be active until it is replaced by
this final “feet and toes of iron mixed with baked clay” kingdom.

The “Triple Vision” of the Mystery Woman …

This is another mystery and “calls for wisdom.”

But there are two visions, not just one.

There is the woman who sits on “many waters” …

“Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”

And there is another vision of a woman …

Then the angel (messenger) carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. This title was written on her forehead:

MYSTERY
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Notice that this does not provide any exceptions. Babylon is not only the “Mother” of prostitute nations and religions, but also of the mother of “the abominations of the earth!”

Now compare that with Zechariah’s vision:

The vision of Zechariah shows how “Wickedness” is placed back in Babylon to await this end-time judgement. Thus Daniel, Zechariah, and Revelation work together bringing all the pieces into focus.

Because Babylon was the head of gold, Babylon is also the feet of iron and clay. For this reason the visions of Revelation show that the destruction finally comes upon the “statue” of Babylon when it gets the “props” knock out from underneath it.

So we have more than one vision of Babylon the Great, and each gives a different but similar picture of both the kingdoms, rulers, history, and the events of the end time.

There is also an eighth king who is no longer is functioning but will arise in the end. This is called the “beast” and is here thrown in with the rest:

When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. The the angel (messenger) said to me, “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has seven heads and ten horns.

“The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come.

If we return to the image of the statue something interesting has often been missed. The statue is further divided:

The Head of Gold
The Chest and Arms of Silver
The Belly and Thighs of Bronze
The Legs of Iron
The Feet Partly of Iron and Partly of Clay

There are seven distinct parts of this image. These are the seven heads of Revelation 17.

This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. They are also seven kings. Five have fallen. one is, the other has not yet come. But when he does come, he must remain for a little while.

Five of them have fallen. In other words, these entities are not functioning in the world. But as noted above, one is still functioning. And one represented by the feet has not yet come. 

But then our focus is directed back to the beast on which the woman rides, as the second vision shows. In other words, it appears that this beast has carried the woman down through the centuries, from the time she first appeared on the scene, to the time of the end!

The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.

Bringing all the visions together, we find that in the end time the focus is upon the ten toes and on the beast to whom these ten give their authority! The first view mentioned the feet but not the toes. The vision of Revelation amplifies the feet and we see that the ten toes are ten horns or kings …

The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast.

Daniel received another vision that relates to this …

After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast — terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth. It crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.

This describes the structure and organization of the final kingdom. In the prophetic visions recorded by Daniel, Zechariah, and John.

One World Government with One Purpose …

They will make war against the Lamb, but the lamb will overcome them because He is the Lord of lords and King of kings — and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.

Even though their one purpose is to make war against the Lamb, they will not limit themselves to that. Remember as noted above, the woman sits on many waters? Here is what that means …

Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages. The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked. They will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish His purpose by agreeing to give the beast their powers to rule, until God’s words are fulfilled. The woman you saw is the great city [Babylon] that rules over the kings of the earth.”

This helps explain the statement that this final or eighth king is has a kingdom that is different from the seven, but “belongs with” the seven heads, and the final ten kings will “give their power” to this beast. It is because of this eighth king that the final “feet” with is ten toes (horns, kings) will separate from Babylon and “give their authority to the beast.”

One Woman with Great Influence Destroyed …

Even though the woman, in one vision, was sitting upon the beast, in the end the beast will turn and devour her. This means at that time the only world government will be that of the beast. All the other nations, peoples, and languages will become part of one world government.

Revelation 18 is devoted to the destruction of this Babylon that has ruled over the nations from its beginning. The power and authority of that government or empire will be that of the “dragon” who not only leads in the destruction of Babylon, but will also lead the government of the beast and the ten horns to fight against the Lamb.

In other words, the fight that has been going on in the heavens will now come to the earth where it will finally end. It was placed earlier in Revelation because of events that lead up to chapters 17 and 18. That visio
n saw “the dragon and his messengers” hurled to the earth (from Revelation 12) …

And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon — that ancient serpent called the devil or Satan (adversary), who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth and all his angels (messengers) with him.

There was also a vision recorded in Revelation 13, which tells more about this same thing …

And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion.

The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast. Men worshipped the dragon because he had given the authority to the beast, and they also worshipped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?”

The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for 42 months. He opened his mouth to blaspheme God and to slander His name and His dwelling place and those who live in heaven. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast — all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.

We are about to enter into this time of trouble …

But not just yet. So there is still some time to prepare for it. That is why I am tracking the quarters using the calendar that was given to Enoch for our benefit.

We are living now during the time when the thieves and liars will be punished. This is coming upon the whole earth and will continue right on up to the end.

But before the events noted above begin, the earth will experience a series of events that are triggered by disturbing  forces coming from some thing or things entering our solar system. These events will continue to break down the nations and the current leadership and lead to disease, famine, war, economic disaster all over the earth. The people will be looking for a savior, but the one who comes will not be what they want. Instead he will turn the people to join with him to fight against the Lamb.

These things will take several years. But the prophecies of Revelation 8 and 9, which are not discussed here, will begin to happen sooner than we think.

Revelation 13 continues with with these words …

He who has an ear, let him hear.

He who brings into captivity shall go into captivity. He who kills with the sword has to be killed with the sword. This calls for patient endurance and trust on the part of the set-apart ones. (The Scriptures)

Stay on the alert and flexible. Be willing to learn the prophecies, and be able to prove them for your self. Although what I have written here covers both a long time from the beginning of Babylon, it also covers a short time of a few years that leads up to the destruction of this current world-wide system. Then the world will fall under a “one-world” government that could lead to the destruction of all life — unless that time is cut short. And that is the promise …

For then will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now — and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened! Matthew 24.

The United States of America has just completed the longest Presidential campaign in its history. For more than two years the people have been subjected to a constant barrage of platitudes and promises coming from the candidates.

That is part of the process, but frightening events of political, economic, and international scope are raising doubts in the people that “change” may not go as smoothly as promised. Even the newly elected President expressed his own warnings that change may not happen as quickly as most people think or hope.

"Change," unfortunately, has always been a catch phrase of those who desire power over the people. Demagogues throughout history have softened the people with the promise of change in order to gain position. In this latest race, both candidates sincerely preached their own doctrine of change. Lest some be offended I will not list those who in the historical record also promised change, and a "new reign" or "down with the current regime and up with the new."

However, in spite of our efforts real change is coming. It is called the “Great Change” or the “Restoration!”

“Be careful what you believe”

What we believe means little, if it is not confirmed by what we do. We provide testimony to what we believe by our actions. The campaigns and the many speeches are finished and silence prevails. Words mean little now. Deeds mean a lot. Words that had been spoken provide a witness now either for or against the actions that follow.

And that leads us into what the prophecies say concerning not only the future of the United States of America, but also for all nations on earth.

The Coming Global Separation

It is difficult to draw a contrast between the way things are now and the way they will be in the next age. The problem is that the darkness is so pervasive most people fail see outside of their own context. In a recent email I told how the brightness and power of the "Light" is so great that it is like "standing naked on the sun." And the "darkness" is so dark that it is like standing in a coal mine with no light where one tries to strain at opening his or her eyelids and still sees nothing but blackness.

For someone to see both Light and Darkness requires the Spirit of Elohim Without that Spirit, people will hear and see nothing.

The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, all your body shall be enlightened. But if your eye is evil, all your body shall be darkened. If, then, the "light" that is within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! Matthew 6:22-23

Blessed is the name of Elah forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons and raises up rulers. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who possess understanding. He reveals deep and secret matters. He knows what is in the darkness, and Light dwells with Him. Daniel 2:22-23

And what is true for the "average Joe" is true also of the rulers of the nations. Unless the Spirit of Elah is in them, they also walk in darkness and can provide little or no help to the people they rule.

The Final Battle Over Control of the People

The final battles of the end of this age may appear to be between nations, will actually be between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness. Light is coming to the world, its people and its nations. And the Sons of Darkness love darkness because their deeds are evil and their time is short.

The following is the prophecy of the final battle and of the great change that will come upon all the people. This is from the Dead Sea Scrolls, column 1 of the War Scrolls:

For the In[structor, the Rule of] the War. The first attack of the Sons of Light shall be undertaken against the forces of the Sons of Darkness, the army of Belial: the troops of Edom, Moab, the sons of Ammon, the [Amalekites], Philistia, and the troops of the Kittim ["archetypical bad guys") of Asshur. Supporting them are those who have violated the covenant.

The sons of Levi, the sons of Judah, and the sons of Benjamin, [the House of Judah] those exiled to the wilderness, shall fight against them with [ . . . ] against all their troops, when the exiles of the Sons of Light return from the Wilderness [desert] of the Peoples to camp in the Wilderness [desert] of Jerusalem.

Then after the battle they shall go up from that place a[nd the king of] the Kittim [shall enter] into Egypt. In his time he shall go forth with great wrath to do battle against the kings of the north and in his anger he shall set out to destroy and eliminate the strength of Israel.

Then there shall be a time of salvation for the People of God, and a time of dominion for all the men of His forces, and eternal annihilation for all the forces of Belial.

There shall be g[reat] panic [among] the sons of Japheth [Iran, Russia, China]. Assyria shall fall with no one to come to his aid, and the supremacy of the Kittim shall cease, that wickedness be overcome without a remnant. There shall be no survivors of [all the Sons of] Darkness.

Then [the Sons of Rig]hteousness shall shine to all ends of the world, continuing to shine forth until end of the appointed seasons of darkness.

Then at the time appointed by God, His great excellence shall shine for all the times of e[ternity;] for peace and blessing, glory and joy, and long life for all Sons of Light.

On the day when the Kittim fall there shall be a battle and horrible carnage before the God of Israel, for it is a day appointed by Him from ancient times as a battle of annihilation for the Sons of Darkness. On that day the congregation of the gods [Mighty Ones or Elohim and the congregation of men shall engage one another, resulting in great carnage. The Sons of Light and the forces of Darkness shall fight together to show the strength of God with the roar of a great multitude and the shout of gods and men: a day of disaster.

It is a time of distress fo[r al]l the people who are redeemed by God. In all their afflictions none exists that is like it, hastening to its completion as an eternal redemption. On the day of their battle against the Kittim, they shall g[o forth for] carnage in battle. In three lots the Sons of Light shall stand firm so as to strike a blow at wickedness, and in three the army of Belial shall strengthen themselves so as to force the retreat of the forces [of Light. And when the] banners of the infantry cause their hearts to melt. then the strength of God will strengthen the he[arts of the Sons of Light.] In the seventh lot the great hand of God shall overcome [Belial and al]1 the angels of his dominion, and all the men of [his forces shall be destroyed forever].

This prophecy reflects the prophecies found in Ezekiel, Daniel, Zechariah, and Revelation. It also is the essence of the prophecies in the Book of Enoch Note in the last paragraph that a stand-off happens and the Sons of Light are forced to retreat. It is at this point that "In the seventh lot the great hand of God shall overcome [Belial and al]l the angels of his dominion, and all the men of [his forces shall be destroyed forever]." In other words, the situation comes very close to the defeat of the Sons of Light, until the One in whom they trust comes to bring an end to the Sons of Darkness.(Zechariah 14)

Righteousness Vs. Wickedness: The Final War to End All Wars

What dynamics are going to lead to the recognizable difference between the Sons of Light[Righteousness] and the Sons of Darkness [Wickedness]?

As we draw nearer to the finals battles of the end time, other forces are coming that will bring "change" to the world. These are listed in Revelation 8, 9 and 10 and come not from forces on earth, but rather from forces that act upon the earth and its people from outside the earth’s atmosphere, that is, from the heavens, including gravitational forces, dust clouds, asteroids, space debris and gases coming from one called "Abaddon" and "Apollyn," which means the "Traveling Destroyer."

Our Father Enoch’s Message for His Children

That “righteousness will prevail after all” was written down for us by our father Enoch This message applies to all the sons of Enoch whether they are Presidents or auto-workers, young or old, male or female, rich and poor, because ALL who are alive today are the descendants of Enoch.

And Enoch spoke to all the children of righteousness and said: ‘Hear, you sons of Enoch all the words of your father, and listen with attention to the voice of my mouth, for I exhort you and say to you, beloved, love uprightness and walk therein. Do not come near to uprightness with a double heart, and do not associate with those who have a double heart. Walk in righteousness, my sons, and it will guide you on good paths, and righteousness will be your companion. Because I know that violence must increase on the earth, and a great punishment will be executed on the earth. All unrighteousness will come to an end. Yes, it will be cut off from its roots, and its whole structure will be destroyed.

But unrighteousness will again be consummated [completed] on the earth, and all the deeds of unrighteousness, violence, and transgression will prevail in a twofold degree. And when sin, unrighteousness, blasphemy, and violence in all kinds of deeds increase, and apostasy, transgression, uncleanness increase, a great punishment will come from heaven upon all these, and the holy Lord will come forth with wrath and chastisement to execute judgment on earth.
Enoch: The Book Behind the Bible, chapter 91.

“The Messengers showed me. From them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is to come.

“Concerning the elect I took up my parable concerning them, and said:

“The Set-apart Great One will come from His dwelling. The eternal Elohim will tread upon the earth, and appear from His camp in the strength of His might from the heaven of heavens.

“And all will be struck with fear, and the Watchers will quake. Great fear and trembling will seize them. To the ends of the earth the high mountains will be shaken, and the high hills will be made low, and melt like wax before the flame. The earth will be wholly torn apart, and all living things upon the earth will die. A judgment will be upon all.

“But with the right-doers He will make peace and will protect the chosen, and mercy will be on them. And they will all belong to Elah, and they will be prospered, and they will all be blessed. He will help them all. And light will appear to them, and He will make peace with them.

“And look! He comes with ten thousands of His set-apart ones to execute judgment on all, and to destroy all the ungodly, and to convict all flesh of all the works of their ungodliness that they have ungodly committed, and of all the hard things that ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
Enoch: The Book Behind the Bible, chapter 1.

We are living in the time of the end, whether we know it or not and whether we believe it or not. The prophecies above will come upon the earth and its people, but the news is not all bad, in fact, it is very good. When these prophecies have come to their completion, then right-rulers will possess the nations and the people who then live on the earth, even though they were dead, will rejoice and understand why this very powerful "change" had to come to the world.
