it is advisable to first read carefully the whole book of "The Unchangeable Calendar of G-d." This time-line is a sincere attempt to assemble the prophetic times and signs in an understandable, "visual" manner. However, as the apostle Paul already said, "our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect, but when the perfect comes the imperfect will pass away... for now it is as if we were peering at a reflection in a dim mirror..." G-d has the last Word, and although He has revealed sufficient knowledge to enable us to make the right decisions, enough mystery remains to cause us stay alert, watchful and sober. We can recognize the signs of the times and distinguish between the camp of the adversary and the camp of G-d if we know the Scriptures and our heart is right with G-d. But who can calculate the name of the "beast-man" and know the identity of the other "beasts" for certain? I believe G-d's Calendar and the Holy Spirit give us helpful hints. But we shall only know for certain when they shall be revealed. Hopefully by that time I am counted worthy to escape. Counting from Rosh Hashanah, September 14th, 1993,
ten years brings us to Yom Kippur, in the year 2003. Adding to this date
five years (from Yom Kippur to Sukkot is 5 days), that brings us to Sukkot
in the year 2008. Because in both the book of Daniel and Revelation we
are given 1 week of 7 days for the end, we therefore count back from Sukkot
2008 seven years, arriving at Yom Kippur , or Rosh Hashanah of 2001. Within
these final seven years we will see the Two holy Witnesses warning the
world of the coming judgment for 3 1/2 years. Their appearance should mark
the beginning of the countdown of the last 7 years, and should occur on
the day of the Feast of Trumpets 2001, or, if delayed, in another year
on the same festival, because their coming WARNS of impending judgment
but still allows for a time of repentance, such as is the case with Rosh
Hashanah.
It also is necessary to remember that G-d's Calendar counts the days (times) from sundown to sundown!
While a faithful Remnant from among the Jewish people is being sealed into the 12 tribes destined to form the stock of the surviving nation, the first rapture takes place, between the 6th and 7th seal of the seals the Lamb of G-d is opening. These saints from every people, nation, tribe and tongue we see assembled in heaven, standing before the throne and the Lamb, while an angel ministers at the altar of incense following the 7th seal. Regarding the rapture in 7 stages see pages 38 through 51. One of the signals for us to recognize that the time of the end is near are the signs on earth and in the heavens: the global weather pattern being out of kilter, increased volcanic eruptions, frequent, severe earthquakes, diseases that spread like epidemics, extreme solar flares, red moon, total sun eclipse whose shadow passed over nations who have history of anti-Semitism, past or present, etc. etc ![]() ![]() ![]() This next time table requires careful calculation of the given years
and days in order to see the full scope of the last 5 years. While wrath,
disaster and death rages on earth with terrible catastrophes in its wake,
heaven celebrates the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. As already mentioned
I consider it a strong possibility that the final days of wrath, or at
least the battle over Jerusalem will break lose on or a few weeks prior
to Tisha B'av. Zechariah 14 describes the disaster that will happen at
first, which Jeremiah in chapter 30 also saw, and the angel
Gabriel told Daniel in chapter 12. Many other Scriptures speak of that
time of Jacob's trouble, YET - he shall be saved out of it!
THE LAST 5 YEARS
THE LAST 3 1/2 YARS

This red dragon with seven heads suddenly has an 8th unless --- the 8th is not a head but a horn. Only time will tell. Interpretations of the identity of these beasts are numerous, but mostly so symbolic and removed from earthly happenings they hardly apply. While it is clear that the spiritual power and drive behind these "beasts" is satanic we must try to discern our own times --- the 21st century! We deal with real people, real powers and heads of state ("kings" of today no longer hold ruling power as formerly, except for those in the Middle East). We deal with a globalization of world markets and politics, while at the same time religous fervors have moved to the forefront with deadly divisions in its wake. What appears so "symbolic" are actually leading powers and powerful leaders, the supporting force behind them being the Dragon, the ancient Serpent, the Nachash, himself. Regarding the beast of ten crowned "horns/powers" on which "Babylon the great" rides, it would appear that the horns are either mounted upon, or come forth from the Western democracies (body of leopard; leopard represents Greece in Scripture, and Greece is the mother of democracy, its "religion" being hellenism); communist powers (the feet of a bear with terrible claws, representative of the devouring strength of communism, Russia having been the "mother bear"); and Arabic/Islamic powers represented by the lion's mouth (Moslems in general but Arabs in particular keep roaring against Israel), indeed roaring like an angry, hungry lion ready to tear apart and devour that hated people in their midst, that "thorn from G-d", the sovereign nation of Israel. The beast which rose out of the earth (Rev. 13:11) is of a religious nature and power, and there is no other organized religion on earth with greater and more far reaching power than the one headquarterd in Rome, the only religion actually represented as a sovereign state at the United Nations. Please read in the book about this beast which has the horns of a lamb, yet the words coming out of its mouth are inspired by the dragon. The final flames of fire illustrate the predictions of Isaiah 66:15-16, and 2 Peter 3:7, 12-13: that the Lord will come with fire, and that by His Coming the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire! But acording to His promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth
