TIME IS UP:
THE RAPTURE
COULD BE SEPTEMBER OF 2009
SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS
Mark Biltz discovered three solar eclipses that would introduce
the Jewish month of Av in 2008, 2009, and 2010. The first eclipse occurred on
August 1, 2008. The second solar eclipse is coming up this month — on July 22,
2009, and the third will happen on July 11, 2010. Though these dates vary in our
Gregorian calendar, they occur on the same date in the Jewish calendar — Av 1.
"The third total solar eclipse will happen on July 11, 2010, almost
entirely over the South Pacific. The South Pacific is also the site of the next
one, on November 13, 2012."
November 13, 2012 ... hmmm ... that’s in the fourth year of this
Sabbatical cycle, near December 12, 2012, the final day in the Mayan calendar.
Could these be heavenly signs?
Now we need to understand that
the month of Av is a month that is very dark for Israel. It was the 9th of Av
that the first and the second temples were destroyed. It is also on this date
that Israel evacuated the band of Gaza.
As Jewish tradition holds, solar eclipses announce bad news for the
nations, and lunar eclipses bad news for Israel.
In 2014, there will be two total lunar eclipses which fall on the
Feasts of the Lord. The first one will occur on the day of the Jewish Passover
(Nisan14), and the second on the day of the Feasts of Tabernacles (Tishrei 15).
The same phenomenon will reoccur in the year 2015: two total lunar
eclipses, the first one on the day of the Passover and the second one on the day
of the Feast of Tabernacles. When four consecutive lunar eclipses occur like
this on two consecutive years, it is called a "tetrad".
Tetrads which fall on the Feasts of the Lord are extremely rare: one
or two per century maximum, several centuries can go by without any tetrad.
Since the year 1 AC, there have only been seven such tetrads, including two in
the 20th century. After 2014-2015, there will be no more such tetrads in the
21st century.
Pastor Biltz also noticed that during the 20th century, there were
two tetrads which fell on the Feasts of the Lord. Each time, it was in relation
with an important event concerning the nation of Israel or the Jewish people.
The first tetrad occurred in 1949-1950, just after the independence of the state
of Israel, and the second in 1967-1968, at the moment when the Jews conquered
Jerusalem.
There was only one tetrad which fell on the Feasts of the Lord in
the 15th century, in 1493-1494, one year after the expulsion of the Jews from
Spain, and the discovery of America, in 1492.
Pastor Biltz also noticed that
there will be two solar eclipses in 2015: the first, a total eclipse, will
happen during the first day of the month of Nisan, in other words the day of the
Jewish religious new year, and the second, a partial eclipse, the first day of
the month of Tishrei, or the day of the Civil Jewish new year.
All of that in the year 2015! Is it possible that this is pure
coincidence? No, it is not possible that a whole series of cumulated
"coincidences" is the product of shear chance.
The scheme is as follows:
- Nisan 15, 5774 (April 15, 2014): Total lunar eclipse, Passover.
- Tishrei 14, 5775 (Oct. 8, 2014): Total lunar eclipse, Feast of
Tabernacles.
- Adar 29, 5775 (March 20, 2015): Total solar eclipse, just before
the religious New Year.
- Nisan 15, 5775 (April 4, 2015): Total lunar eclipse, Passover.
- Elul 29, 5775 (Sept.13, 2015): Partial solar eclipse, just before
the civil New Year.
- Tishrei 15, 5776 (Sept. 28, 2015): Total lunar eclipse, Feast of
Tabernacles.
It is also important to note that
the year 2015 is the last sabbatical year in a 49-year cycle. This sabbatical
year comes just before the year of Jubilee, which is announced every fifty
years. The year of Jubilee is to be proclaimed the day of Yom Kippur, 2015. The
year 2015 is therefore particularly marked by all these heavenly signs. Could it
be the year of the return of the Lord on the earth, to begin his 1000-year
reign? It could be a very serious possibility. If it were the case, the Rapture
would take place seven years earlier, during the Feast of Trumpets 2008
(provided you are premillenarist!) The year 2008 is also a Sabbatical year.
Another interesting sign is in
the following calculation: Jerusalem was conquered by the Jews on June 7, 1967.
If we count from that precise date, seven times seven Jewish years of 360 days,
it would be 49 years or 17640 days, we arrive exactly at September 23, 2015, or
the day of Yom Kippur 2015, which would be the probable day of the return of the
Lord on the earth to reign for one thousand years! Is it another coincidence?
Remember that the tenth day of the first month (Yom Kippur) the
people crossed the Jordan led by Joshua, and the ark entered into the promised
land (Joshua 4:19). This is also an image of the return of the Lord on the
Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4). This reminds us of the words of Jesus:
"Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all
these things take place." (Matthew 24:34). He could be talking about the
generation of those who saw the retaking of Jerusalem by the Jews.
Continuing with this hypothesis, in the following months (from the
end of May to the end of September 2008) we should see an increase in certain
phenomena announced for the end of time: Climatic cataclysms and seismic
activities Famines and economic crisis.
Jesus said, "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the
angels of heaven, but my Father only." (Matthew 24:36) This does not have to do
with fixing a day or an hour, but it has to do with observing the signs! Let no
one accuse us of affirming that the Rapture will happen with certainty at a
precise day or hour. But we are simply indicating a serious possibility that it
could happen at a certain period, given the signs that have been announced.
When we take this verse in Matthew in its strictest literal sense, it simply
means that we will neither know the day nor the hour of the
return of the Lord. Even if we know, for instance, that Jesus will come at the
time of the Feast of Trumpets 2008, we know neither the day nor the hour,
because this feast lasts for two days and that the choice of the day and the
hour belongs to the Father.
The choice of hours has always been important for the Lord! Jesus
was attached to the cross at the third hour of the day (9 o'clock in the
morning), at the same time that the lamb was attached to the horns of the altar,
for the first sacrifice of the day. He died the ninth hour (three o'clock in the
afternoon), the same hour of the last sacrifice of the day. In the same way, the
Holy Spirit came down on the disciples the third hour of the day, 9 o'clock in
the morning.
All the same, without knowing the day nor the hour, we can know the
moment or the period, from the signs that are given in the Bible. It is,
therefore, not possible to prophesy the return of the Lord on a fixed day or
hour, because this is information that the Father wanted to keep for Himself.
But he did not leave us ignorant concerning the period of the return of Jesus.
Heb 10:25 says we can see the day approaching.
This indicates that we can and even must observe the signs and the
times and the moments, like Paul said to the Thessalonians. If the Lord decided
to intervene in the history of men during the preceding Feasts of the Lord, that
indicates a considerable importance in observing the times. That is part of the
faithful Church's role, to carefully observe the times and warn the world and
the Church of the importance of certain events, especially when they were
prophesied in the Bible.
Having this information should
not in any way take away our motivation or make us passive, waiting for the
inevitable return of the Lord. But, on the contrary, it should stimulate us to
redeem the time, and lift up our heads, because our deliverance is near! The
time is very short! Let's double our efforts to warn those around us. We need be
ready and watch constantly, no matter what moment the Lord may return! Let's
live and act constantly as if return of the Lord will be in the coming days and
weeks, knowing that it may come later! This way we will never be surprised, even
if we must wait longer for His return!
Not all Jews agree on the how to
count of the years of Jubilee, because there have been interruptions during the
period of the destructions of the two temples and also during periods of exile.
Mark Biltz places the next year of Jubilee at 2015. He chose the Ramdam and
Rabbi Yehudah's dating system, but other Internet sites place the next year of
Jubilee at 2027/2028, and yet others place it at 2039/2040.
Even if all Jews do not come to the same date for the next year of
Jubilee because of counting interruptions, it remains very significant that 49
Jewish years after Jerusalem was recaptured, in June 7, 1967, we arrive, day for
day, on September 2015, day of Yom Kippur. This cannot be by chance.
It is probably not by chance either that History kept the name for
"Six Day War". These six days prepare the seventh (6/7/67) The retaking of
Jerusalem, Zion, carries a major prophetic importance, and the day of Yom Kippur
that follows the 49 Jewish years cannot help but make us think of the liberation
from the reproach of Egypt (Joshua 5:9) Remember that there was another six
days war, which preceded the entrance into the promise land, when all of Israel
was to march around the walls of Jericho for six days. And on the seventh day
the people marched around the city seven times.
All Christians know the passage
repeated in the first three gospels: "Assuredly, I say to you, this generation
will by no means pass away till all these things take place." Matthew 24:34
–Mark 13:30 – Luke 21:32. If the recapture of Jerusalem can be interpreted as
the fig tree that blossoms, we notice that those who were young at that time, on
June 7, 1967, will be about 70 years old in 2015. If the fifty following years
do represent an inter jubilee period, and if we suppose that the rapture will
happen at the end of a 49 year cycle to conserve the prophetic image of freedom
for the slaves, the next occurrence after 2015 will be around 2065. At that
time, those living in 1967 will be dead, and cannot be part of the generation
that Jesus spoke about.
SIGNS ON THE EARTH
1. Israel had periods of 400 years. The U.S. parallels Israel
in many ways and 400 years from 1607 would be 2007. Columbus was a Jew, unknown
to
Queen Isabella of Spain,
who got funding to discover America. He said he went forth by the Holy Spirit
according to Isaiah. Jews were being kicked out of Spain and the Inquisition
killed Christian and Jew alike.
2. Israel had 43 kings and the U.S. had 43 presidents including Bush
the 2nd. The current president has taken a stand against Israel, God
help us.
He has told Israel to stop building in eastern
Jerusalem.
He reads books on a Post American World.
He has Muslim roots.
He has promised Muslims we will never be at war with
them.
He has turned loose the terrorists held at Guantanamo
Bay.
He has passed laws hindering firearm possession.
Secretary of state Clinton went to Obama’s birthplace in
Kenya for her first trip.
He has said Muslims and the United States have a common
goal.
He has denied Israel permission to fly over Iraq to
fight Iran.
and the list goes on.
3. Though Obama stands against the things of God, this 80% Christian
country voted him into office. They apparently trust him more than God and
chose to side with him against God. This is a falling away from God. He is set
on dividing Israel’s land with the Palestinians to gain peace. Why Israel when
they have so little land now? God has said those who divide the land are
cursed.
4. India is putting a chip in its entire population.
5. Man is calling those things good that are bad. Choice is
preferred over life; abortions and same sex lifestyles.
and this list also continues, including the fact that Israel even
exists again after 2000 years of non existence, that the world is moving to a
one world government, etc.
