Update January 11, 2009: It appears
now as we approach the timeframe that the timing presented is incorrect. I had based them on a
series of alignments in events related to Israel’s judgment history and came to
a conclusion from that. I will be leaving this as is and as I continue to watch
and research update any relevant points.The historical aspect was a collection of research from
several people who had done date studies that when put together connected
significant times in Israel’s history to judgments and ended on Rosh Hashanah
2005. There are also a series of exact-day prophecies related to the 70th
week of Daniel and the events that will occur within them. This provided the
framework for this week of years, or seven years.
The dates came from connecting
these two studies and while the historical alignments are still valid as are the
framework for the 70th week of Daniel, it is apparent my conclusions
connecting the two were not accurate regarding the midst of the week occurring
in February of 2009.
There have been other possibilities such as Herb Peters
conclusion regarding the start of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) in
January of 2007 that may still be valid, but as always time will tell.
While there are things we know for sure, we see through a glass darkly. I still
believe we are in the end times as Israel has become a nation and that
generation will not pass until all the things prophesied by Yeshua are
fulfilled,
Matthew 24:32-42, we’re coming on the end of that 1947 generation now.
Don't stop watching because He is coming soon... when is still
an unknown, but those watching will recognize the signs of the
times that we are seeing developing even today. Join me in
watching with the
watchman
newsletter.
What Happened To February 16, 2009?
You can also view an overview of this information
and its possible significance
here.
As the time grows short for the timeline presented here, I was reminded recently
that
In One Hour Everything Is Going to Change. While it seems
that time is too short for so much to be fulfilled, what needs to
come to pass from my understanding could unfold overnight and over
days. I don't know for sure, but I do know that understanding
Bible prophecy is like a puzzle, there are thousands of pieces that
all fit in a very particular place. When the pieces are all in
place, the big picture becomes clearly apparent.
I feel that much of the puzzle is put together and yet there are
still a few pieces laying around the outside of the frame waiting to
be recognized an put in their place to further complete the big
picture. So on November 15, 2008 - that is where I am with this
timeline presented in the following sections and
here. Watching the news, I believe all the aspects of prophetic
fulfillment that I know are lined up to change the world overnight,
the perfect storm. From the
economies
of the world collapsing and talk of a new world financial system
to the politics of
Europe and razor's edge developments between
Israel and Syria,
Iran, Russia,
Lebanon, Turkey and
America &
Europe. America is diminishing in global influence while the new
President elect has some of the most socialist and global tones that
the population is eating up. Much of the world is eerily ready to
accept this
New Age
with open arms and the shocks that I believe will come upon them
swiftly will catch many off-guard and cause many to blindly follow
what they perceive as their only hope.
But we who believe God's Word have a greater hope than anything
man or devil can provide because it is eternal and true, evidenced
by the foretelling of events through history by God so that we would
know, recognize and believe. So as you read through this, I pray you
recognize God's love for you even more in Him giving us His Word and
that your hope would be in God and by His son Yeshua, who died for
the sins of the world that we might live.
To YAHWEH be the glory!
Isaiah 46:9-13
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none
else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the
end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are
not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I
will do all my pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the
man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken
it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do
it. Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from
righteousness: I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far
off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in
Zion for Israel my glory.
Isaiah 48:3-7
I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they
went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them
suddenly, and they came to pass. Because I knew that thou art
obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; I
have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came
to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol
hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath
commanded them. Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye
declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even
hidden things, and thou didst not know them. They are created
now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou
heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
Those that love God's Word know
that Yeshua is God come in the flesh. He created all things and
without Him nothing was formed. He spoke creation into existence and
is I AM. Furthermore, Yeshua is the Word of God made flesh as the
volume of 66 books written by 40 authors over thousands of years are
literally written of Him and renown through history as the testimony
of the
prophets of old through Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit. That
Word is given to us as the Bible and is the literal Word of God
interpreted through the writings of the prophets, revealing the
promised understanding of the times surrounding Christ's coming
and understood through
the reading of the Bible with guidance by the author, the Holy Spirit. Yeshua
was crucified, a blameless sacrifice, to take the sins of the world
on Him in
death and was raised three days later victorious over death and hell
for all eternity. He loves us enough to offer the free gift of
eternal life with Him if we believe. The Holy Spirit is a free gift to any who believe this.
Those who refuse this only way of salvation available will get their
request of separation from the One True God for all eternity. God is love and
love is selfless, separation from Him is eternal absence of the
following fruits of the Spirit:
Galatians 5:22-24
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, longsuffering, gentleness,
goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have
crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
It is my joy to share how
God's glory is declared through the understanding of Bible prophecy
written in the Holy Bible.
That is the goal of this group of studies, to awaken the end-time
bride of Christ to the understanding of
the times in which we live. Who else can tell the end from the
beginning? Only the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
1
Thessalonians 5:14-28
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort
the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow
that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give
thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning
you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings.
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain
from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify
you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body
be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. Brethren,
pray for us. Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. I charge
you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy
brethren. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
1
Corinthians 14:1-5
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather
that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue
speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth
him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But
he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and
exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an
unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth
edifieth the church. I would that ye all spake with tongues but
rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth
than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that
the church may receive edifying.
2
Peter 1:19-21
We have also a more sure word of prophecy;
whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that
shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star
arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of
the scripture is of any private interpretation. For
the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy
men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
John
14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will
send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all
things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Amos 3:7
Surely
the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth
his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Mark
13:22,23
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew
signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the
elect. But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all
things. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that
I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day
of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when
they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh
upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall
not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness,
that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the
children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of
the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do
others; but let us watch and be sober.
God's wrath is coming on
the disobedient and many are blinded by the things of this world
while distracted from, or with little faith in, God's Word.
They are also blinded by wicked people for whom God's wrath is
coming. This is what I feel the importance of this is and
why I
place importance on watching what is going on so that I can alert
those with ears to hear what I am seeing. We are not of this world,
but we are the salt and light of it.
I believe understanding what is really going on in the world in
light of Bible prophecy will be an adrenalin shot to the heart
of all who believe the Word of God. May it bring you greater
faith and hope and love to share with those around you. If you believe the Bible is God's Word, I will show you what I've
been shown in reading it.
Revelation 19:10 tells us that the testimony of Yeshua is the spirit of
prophecy and being the Word made flesh, the whole Bible is written of Him. He is
returning and has told His friends what He is doing, revealing it
throughout His Word as written by the prophets moved by His Holy
Spirit. He has not returned yet and He foretold of His second coming
with sudden destruction.
Matthew 24:36-39 |
Luke 17:24-31 He also warned of deception in the
end-times,
Matthew 24:23-28, which is why I keep God's Word as the
foundation of my understanding for what is to come.
The Lord always does things in
accordance with His Word, which never changes. While not every
detail of history is apparent, there is a framework that revolves
around God's chosen people, Israel. As we will see, there are many
prophecies in scripture that are yet unfulfilled, but I believe you
will see is in the process of being fulfilled right now.
So while not every detail is readily apparent, we know God's way
from His Word and so our actions whether in accordance with His Word
or contrary to it, will produce an expected result because God has
made known the benefits and consequences of our actions
whether aligned with or against His Word respectively.
1
Corinthians 14:29-33
Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the
other judge. If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth
by, let the first hold his peace. For ye may all prophesy one
by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
And the spirits of the prophets are subject to
the prophets. <[The Bible interprets itself] For God is not the author of
confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
John 15:12-20
This is my commandment, That
ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no
man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I
command you. Henceforth I call you not servants;
for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have
called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my
Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me,
but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and
bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that
whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it
you. These things I command you, that ye love one another. If
the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated
you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but
because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of
the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word
that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord.
If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if
they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
But of the times and the
seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For
yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord
so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say,
Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as
travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But
ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that
day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the
children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of
the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do
others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep
in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the
night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the
breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of
salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain
salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that,
whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with
him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one
another, even as also ye do.
Watch!
Matthew 25:1-13
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins,
which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the
bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were
foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no
oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their
lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and
slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the
bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins
arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the
wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the
wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us
and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for
yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and
they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the
door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying,
Lord, Lord, open to us.
Matthew 7:13-23 But he answered and said, Verily I say
unto you, I know you not. Watch
therefore, for ye know neither the day
nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Matthew 24:36-44,
Mark 13:32-37, Luke 12:16-40, Luke 21:34-36,
Hebrews 9:28
Acts 17:11
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica,
in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and
searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. This study
covers known history and Bible prophecies that are fulfilled from the
destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon all the way up to today. I'm putting
this all together here on this website through the links at the top of
the page to present the details and Biblical explanation and to clarify
Bible prophecy. It will be best if you start from the 70 weeks of Daniel and move to the last one for further Bible studies
that add to the understanding of the big picture. The 70 weeks of Daniel
connects the end time scenario spoken of by Christ in Matthew 24 to
the prophecy given to Daniel regarding Israel's future.This
collection of studies is meant to present the
information I've found in my research from both history and Bible
prophecy regarding the center of prophecy,
Yeshua
(Jesus) the Christ.
Revelation 19:10 It is my honor to be sharing my study in hopes
of sharing the understanding God has given me from His Word and the
simultaneous confidence, faith, and peace in the coming turmoil and
feeling closer to understanding God's plan. I do not claim to be 100%
correct, but I believe in the end the Bible will be revealed to
those who love and honor it, taking God at His Word. I hope that this most of all
leads to you reading the Word of God personally and taking it for truth,
bringing you to a closer relationship with your Creator, Yeshua.
Proverbs
25:2
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour
of kings is to search out a matter.
Revelation
1:3-6
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this
prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the
time is at hand. John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace
be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which
is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first
begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto
him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father;
to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
I truly believe the information
contained in this study are
pearls of wisdom from the Lord for
His bride, the church as given to His servants the prophets who
wrote as the Spirit led them
the Bible we now have today. My saying so does not make
it so, but there's no special knowledge needed,
just faith in the Word of God. What we know from scripture doesn't take
any private interpretation. We need to rely on the Bible alone to
interpret itself. The Holy Spirit wrote the Bible over thousands of years
through the prophets and gave us all the interpretations within the text
of scripture. Some are asleep still and don't realize how short the time
is. I pray this study will glorify God and open many eyes to the reality
and nearness of the events written thousands of years ago.
1 Peter 1:16-21 I pray also that it will bring the reality of
scripture to light and encourage further personal study with the
guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Fulfilled prophecy, in my opinion, is one of the best tools to bring the
reality and precision of Bible prophecy to life. The Word of God is
alive. We are told
loud and clear that we should understand God's plan. He went to the
trouble to spell it out for us so it must be important. 80% of the Bible
is prophecy and it is all written about Christ. Unbelievers are not
going to expect what is coming, but believers are supposed to understand
and be in the light about it so that it doesn't take us like thieves
because those who aren't in darkness shouldn't be surprised by anything
that happens. That means an intimate knowledge of the future through the
lens of scripture. See the
Importance of Watching.
What this study will show is how the
judgment against Israel as given to Ezekiel in
Ezekiel 4 marks 2520 years from the first and third
sieges of Jerusalem by Babylon to Israel becoming a nation and
giving up the recaptured Temple Mount respectively. In the interest of honesty, we don't
know the exact days of the first and third sieges, but we know the
years, and while we don't know the exact day, the fact that the years
line up is pretty amazing alone. When you study the other prophecies
shown to be fulfilled to the day and see them all lined up in
history leading right to
October 5, 2005, I believe the truth of God's precision on the Bible
will resonate with your spirit.
What this means is that we have a possible connection of June 7, 1967
which marks the surrendering of the recaptured Temple Mount with the
14,000 days. This would make perfect sense since
Israel is God's timepiece and for the past 2,000 years they have had
judgments against them which ended on two very key days, the last of
which marked the first time Israel controlled Jerusalem since 70AD.
However, in unbelief and lack of faith in God's promise that He would
protect them and they would no more be removed from their land, Israel
gave up control of the holiest place on earth to the Gentiles, Islam. There are
two previous Biblical examples of this precise 14,000 day periods, that
the waiting of one generation is because of a lack of faith. In the
wilderness wanderings, they didn't believe they could defeat the giants,
so that generation wandered the wilderness for 14,000 days and their
children entered the Promised Land. Then on April 6, 32AD at the
triumphal entry, Christ wept over Jerusalem exactly 173,880 days after
Artaxerxes Longimanus gave the order to Nehemiah to rebuild the streets
and walls, just like Gabriel told Daniel.
Taking us through history to the
modern day, these studies lead to the conclusion that the 70th week,
and final seven years may have begun October 5, 2005 -- Rosh
Hashanah. This brings me to Herb's research and
January 1, 2007. As you may know, the 7-year
European Neighborhood
Policy (ENP) started on January 1, 2007. If you haven't read
Recommendation 666, I recommend you do, it's free online! I put
the ENP in the chart because I believe it may be the covenant with many
of Daniel 9:27, a confirmation of a previous 1995 agreement (Barcelona
Conference/Euro-Med) between Israel and Europe and many other
nations. For reasons I will get into in this study, I believe this
is the breaking of the first seal.I just finished these two preliminary
charts which show events on the timeline of history and the near future.
My friends and fellow watchmen, I believe this lends credence and great
detail to God's plan. And it comes from scripture! That's then applied
to events in history and the stars, which were created for signs in the
heavens
Genesis 1:14, echo back their confirmation that these events are
not just coincidental. This gives great clarity to just how true God's
Word is and how precise. I believe this information is the fulfillment
of this promise to them that love Him and love His coming with great
anticipation.
Given the exact day prophecies of
Daniel and Revelation, we have a framework of exact days between
main events of the 70th week. If Rosh Hashanah was truly the
awakening blast that started the 70th week of Daniel,
then
we can expect to meet Christ in the early part of 2009! (Please
note this is neither labeling the day nor the hour.) Keep
watching!!!
There's lots to understand and little
time before the end. I expect a false peace to arrive in the Middle
East any time now. I believe
Javier Solana will bring it about
primarily, but the
EU in general. Javier Solana, as the
Secretary-General of the EU, will naturally be involved. Then I
believe Russia, Turkey, Iran, and several other Islamic nations will
attack Israel. God will destroy them in the mountains of Israel with
fire and brimstone from heaven.
Ezekiel 38,39 From that point, Israel will recognize the God of
their fathers and return to the old ways, rebuilding the temple to
begin the daily sacrifice. Ultimately, this will lead to the
abomination of desolation and that point is when Satan is cast to
the earth and all hell breaks loose.

The news is leading to these events even now. The
bride of Christ needs to wake from her slumber and trim her
lamps, relying on the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 25:1-13 That is my hope with
this
website, that God will
be glorified in His perfect Word. It truly is amazing what detail is
in God's Word! If you would like to join me in watching, you can

Many people say, "We can't know
the details of the future or really come to agreement on Bible
prophecy because everyone has their own view and it's all
debatable." I hope to dispel this rumor with the Holy Bible as the
foundation. I believe this idea has come about because of
frustration in not understanding the scriptures, which has a lot to
do with the fact that until 1948, Bible prophecy was on hold as far
as our being able to understand it's intricacies. And since 1948,
many people have put forth theories and ideas that failed in one or
more aspects to hold true to reality.
Today, I wish to show you the
scriptures which lay out our future in great detail, greater than
most ever believed possible, but our God is a God of the impossible
becoming possible. His Word has always held the same information,
it's just a matter of taking it literally and interpreting scripture
within scripture itself. We as the body of Christ are to be united,
this one Book is that uniting Word, but man's personal
interpretation has caused division in the body and created hundreds
of off-shoots through history. Many stick to the basic foundation,
but add or take away too much. The Bible has EVERYTHING we need to
understand. History clarifies and verifies what's in scripture and
when put them together, even lays out the future in great detail!
May God bless your study of His
Word. Remember to develop your personal relationship with Christ,
your bridegroom and spread His love to all those around you. You
carry a candle with His light, let it shine and He will direct your
path. I would like to end this introduction with a little analogy
shared by
CarpentersDaughter at the
Fulfilled Prophecy discussion board:
Two frogs are sitting in a pan of boiling water.
One says, I wonder what it will be like when Jesus comes
back, the other frog yells out don't you know things will be
so bad we'll see it everywhere.
As the two boil away, they don't see that the grave
situation is at hand already.
Do we think the trumpets will sound as birth pangs get
harder and harder?
This world is in a great spiritual battle, and the earth is
heaving from the sins of mankind.
We can be like the two frogs and wonder when the harder
events will happen or we can look around and see that we are
already there and things are getting worse.
