Our winter rest | The seed in the barn

If you want to get to know the Lord Jesus personally and be certain you go to heaven when you die, click this link and watch this short video.

Hanukkah is so rich with hope as the Scriptures, heavens, and even the enemy testify of the soon coming of our Lord …… may it be so, Amen.

Therefore the LORD Himself will give you a Sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel [God is with us] Isaiah 7:14

Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD’s Temple was laid, consider it …  from this day I will bless you. 2:19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you. 2:20 And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,2:21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth; 2:22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother. 2:23 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts. Haggai 2:18,19

We shared previously how the Scriptures give us insight the Lord’s conception and the onset of bestowed blessings towards us are etched in the Biblical calendar on 24th of Kislev, commending us to consider it with emphasis. Verse 19 appears to affirm this notion as the question is asked: “Is the seed still in the barn?” Let us indeed consider in which direction the seed and barn spoken of in this verse direct our attention to ….

The word translated as “seed” (Strongs 2233, Zeh’rah) is elsewhere translated as “child” or “posterity.” The word ‘barn’ could point to the ‘temporary abode, dwelling or tabernacle’, like a womb where a seed after conception is nested between 2 and 6 days after conception. Prophetically, this could imply a ‘coming home’ type event after 2 up to 6 days after Kislev 24, the time of conception.

Zerubbabel speaks to us in layers as well; he was a governor (type of Jesus as ruler) and his name means “seed of Babylon” or “planted in Babylon.” When God told Abraham, “In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed” (Genesis 22:1828:14), the Seed that the Father was referring to was Jesus, no less than 42 generations later. We know that believers in Christ are the spiritual seed of Abraham, grafted in ‘by faith’ in the works of the glorious Seed. And, after our second birth into faith and eternal life, we are eagerly anticipating our birth into heaven, to be transformed when called up home to ‘nest’ and ‘rest’ in our heavenly home. Paul, teaching on the seed of Abraham:

Haggai 2:19 weighs in on the matter and describes the harvest time of the grain, specifically of grain intended for future provision. Seed could also, then, describe a child who has been conceived, but is not yet born thus dwelling in a temporary abode (according to the root word of barn). Understanding Jesus Christ was conceived on this date, it is a remarkably apt application of what God means when He says, “From this day I will bless you”, the Light of the world coming to sojourn or dwell within Mary, as she was overshadowed by the Spirit during the darkest days of the year, to bless us with his eternal light 271 days later.

The days of Noah embody a promise of rest and comfort

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Exodus 33:14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

Almond trees enter into dormancy in wintertime

As the temperatures from the late fall continue to drop, the almond tree, the tree of life in the garden and the inspiration for the temple menorah, enters a period of rest that lasts through December/early January. At this time, the tree has dropped all of its leaves naturally or – through an application of zinc – has entered its yearly rest (interestingly zinc helps our bodies fight Corona-viruses too:-), and is maintaining a low level of water use and starch consumption. This β€œlow” flow of starch through the tree is needed as the catabolic breakdown of starch to sugar prevents the sap from freezing.

Pruning and shaping is generally done during the almond tree’s winter dormancy, starting the first growing season, keeping the center of the tree open to airflow and sunlight while garden debris and weeds are cleared away to avoid mold and prevent small animals from nesting in them and chewing on the trunks. We can read the spiritual application in these winter preparations as our own spiritual upkeep, hoping our last cycle of fruition will be finished this resting period, knowing the wild and wayward almond trees stand to shortly be pruned and cleaned of dead wood and unfruitful wild branches in a far less delicate manner.

Like we are the spiritual seed of Abraham by grace through faith alone, about to be birthed into our heavenly home through the narrow way, we enter into God’s rest by first understanding our total inability to enter on our own merit. We enter God’s rest by our faith in the sacrifice of Christ and in yielding unto Him, in loving obedience to the Lord and His will. β€œAnd to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief” (Hebrews 3:18–19). Unlike the Israelites whose unbelief prevented them from entering the promised land, we are to enter God’s heavenly rest by faith in Him, faith which is a gift from Him by grace (Ephesians 2:8–9).

Let us glance at the calendar and prophetic markers for the coming Hanukkah week …..

Kislev 27 December 12-13 Ark lift-off day | Kislev 29 Total Solar eclipse | Tevet 5 Winter Solstice and the Great Conjunction

  • 27 Kislev (circa 2105 BC) – Noah’s flood rains cease after 40 days marking the beginning of 150 days of water’s swelling and churning (Genesis 6-8). Thus, we are still in the ‘days of Noah’ as a prophetic timeframe. The Bible speaks of this day as when the ark was lifted high above the earth. We too are waiting for the rapture to be lifted up toward heaven prior to the onset of tribulation and the waters of judgment breaking forth.
  • Kislev 29 2020 there is a total solar eclipse over Chile and South America, the birthing grounds of the false prophet, pope Francis (December 14) who has just published his thoughts on ‘centralized capitalism in collaboration with three Satanic stooges; Rothchilds, Rockefellers, and Mastercard. This celestial event is the third of the recent celestial unholy trinity after the Venus-Moon conjunction of Hawaii (Obama’s alleged birthing grounds, shaped like a sacrificial lamb/goat) on December 12th and the prior annual total solar eclipse on Prince William’s birthday June 21st this year. Note this December 14 and 21 pattern analysis.

  • 1 Tevet (circa 479 BCE) – Esther was taken to King Achashverosh‘s palace, leading to her becoming queen (Book of Esther 2:16-17)
  • 1 Tevet – 1312 B.C.: After being warned by Moses, the Egyptians were visited by the (seventh) plague of hail.
  • 1 Tevet – start investigation under Ezra of the men having married foreign wives as shared in this previous article (Ezra 10)
  • 2 Tevet – 37 B.C.: King Herod captured Jerusalem (others date it as 10 Tevet).
  • Tevet 4 – December 14, 1977: The Cairo (Heliopolis) Peace Conference commenced with the participation of Israel, Egypt, the United States and the United Nations.
  • 4 Tevet 5755 – Dec. 7, 1994: PLO chairman Arafat meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher in Gaza City, pledged to protect Israelis from militant extremists.
  • Tevet 5 3339 – 423 BC: Only now had the prophet Ezekiel heard the news of the destruction of the temple and of Jerusalem’s conquest by a foreign power, as recorded in Ezekiel (33:21). In Jewish law, a period of mourning (for example, upon the death of a loved one) can begin upon “hearing” the bad news.

The heavens declare this week | Images listed below

  • 12 December or Hanukkah day 2 | The beloved (comet Erasmus) closest to the Sun
  • 12 December | Comet Atlas, the Burden Bearer in Auriga the charioteer (carrying the mother and two kid goats)
  • 12 December | Conjunction of the Moon (closest to the earth) and Venus December 12th over Hawaii (Obama & IPGII link)
  • 3-15 December | Hydrid meteors at the head of the serpent, underneath Leo and Virgo
  • 14 December or Hanukkah day 4 | Geminids peak! Wedding bells from 4-17 December in the bride and groom cluster
  • 14 December | Total Solar Eclipse over Chile and Argentina (pope Francis link)
  • 15 December or Hanukkah day 5 | Peak of the Coma Berenices meteors (where Jesus, the ‘Desired Son’ and his mother are) twinkle between 12-23 December and the expected new moon sighting starting the 10th month of Tevet
  • 16 December or Hanukkah day 6 | Mercury (messenger, chief speaker, thief in Roman pantheon) furthest to the Sun
  • 17 December or Hanukkah day 7 | Conjunction Moon with Jupiter (King Planet) and then Saturn (Satan, Chronos, Molek)
  • 19 December | Peak Leonis Minorid (Leo Minor) meteor shower, active from 5 December to 4 February
  • 20 December | Mercury closest to the Sun

  • 21 December | Winter Solstice at the celestial Golden Gate next to Ophiuchus (solstice lasts for three days visually before the Sun ascends again) by the Moon passing before the Sun. While Biblically winter starts in Kislev, astronomically, this day is considered the first day of winter (in the Northern Hemisphere while summer begins in the Southern), beginning when the sun’s celestial coordinate is 270Β° at 4.02 a.m. CST. The star Antares (heart of the Scorpion, means ‘opponent to Mars’) is making its first morning-appearance (heliacal rising) this week (23 December, see below).  If you have a clear horizon to the southeast, Antares is very low in the sky.  A binocular helps.
  • 21 December | Great Conjunction Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn (goat portion: atoning sacrifice) underneath Aquila the eagle (who lifts up/supports the bride) and Sagitta, the arrow of redemption symbolising the atoning sacrifice and a birth, 1135 days from the Jupiter Venus conjunction in 2017. Pluto (Hades, Underworld) is nearby, associated with the keys to the bottomless pit soon to be given to Satan

The great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn December 21st

great conjunction is a conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Saturn, when the two planets appear closest together in the sky. Conjunctions occur every 19.6 years, on average, when Jupiter ‘overtakes’ Saturn in the sky due to the combined effect of Jupiter’s approximately 11.9-year orbital period and Saturn’s 29.5-year orbital period.

Total Solar Eclipse and Covid19 ‘second wave’ signalling | Predictive programming in the game β€˜Everybody’s Gone to the Raptureβ€˜ developed by The Chinese Room, as mentioned in this previous article.

In ‘Everybody’s gone to the rapture’ gamers try to piece together why a certain town’s inhabitants have suddenly disappeared in a catastrophic series of events by following light orbs, clues, storylines, and insight. The game ties the rapture concept to celestial signs, a sudden flu outbreak, a holocaust and people’s subsequent disappearance. The leading first-person character, Dr. Kate apparently discovered “a pattern” in the stars, and amplified the signals of this pattern using a radio telescope during an astronomical event. As a result, the pattern “traveled” to earth and ‘infected’ everyone in town, first burning the main characters’ faces (first phase/wave of flu-like infection), then producing headaches and bleeding to the townsfolk (second phase/wave) and subsequently reducing their bodies to ashes as they are sacrificed by the government bombing the town to prevent further outbreak. Allusions are made to ‘clues in the heavens’ (celestial signs), a portal opening (heavenly gates), and a virus traveling through phone lines (resonating with two waves of a flulike pandemic) and its effects being electronically manipulated.

We’ve arrived at an Orwellian 1984 scene said to have been caused by a Chinese Room type AI orchestrated plandemic β€˜amplified by phone lines’ (hinting at 5G) amidst a town-wide quarantine, as the game foretells. The game outline portrays people who have been raptured at the time of a solar eclipse amidst golden wheat fields, ready to harvest.

The bride, the church of Philadelphia, is promised an open door to heaven ……

Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. 2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. 4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. 5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. 7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. 9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Understanding this winter’s great conjunction is a celestial open door situated in the celestial Golden Gate …..

Winter has multiple meanings | seasonal and related to cattle

We know sheep pass under the rod for the winter keeping after Tabernacles, Hanukkah being a delayed Tabernacles for those who could not attend prior, a final harvest offering (olive oil being the final crop) amidst the darkest days of the year.

KJV Dictionary on Winter:

Meteorology and Celestial Phenomena in Webster’s 1828 Dictionary on Winter

WINTERnoun

1. The cold season of the year. Astronomically considered, winter commences in northern latitudes when the sun enters Capricorn, or at the solstice about the 21st of December, and ends at the equinox in March; but in ordinary discourse, the three winter months are December, January, and February. Our Saxon ancestors reckoned the years by winters; as ten winters; thirty winters. In tropical climates, there are two winters annually; but they cannot be said to be cold. In the temperate and frigid climates, there is one winter only in the year.

2. The part of the printing press which sustains the carriage.

  • WINTERverb intransitive To pass the winter He wintered in Italy. Cattle winter well on good fodder.
  • WINTERverb transitive To feed or manage during the winter To winter young cattle on straw, is not profitable. Delicate plants must be wintered under cover.

Confirmation winter is a celestial boundary | The ‘finish of our race’ as the Sun finishes its celestial circuit then and there

Psalm 47:16-17 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.

2 Timothy 4: 4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness [Corona Australis below the archer in Sagittarius), which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Psalms 19:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork.2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge. 3 [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard. 4 Their line (trajectory of the wandering stars/planets on the ecliptic) is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, 5 Which [is] as a bridegroom [sun on the ecliptic] coming out of his chamber, [and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 6 His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

  • The Winter Solstice is the proposed beginning and end of the solar circuit, the finish of the Sun’s ‘race’ through the heavens as it goes down to rest (stand still visually from an earthly perspective) for three days and then (again visually) rises again to climb toward the summer solstice, its summer resting place.
  • The porter or ‘strong man’ of the Golden Gate (location of the winter solstice) is Ophiuchus | See Mark 13:34

Moses’ stick, the ‘rod of the Gods’, the serpent and its connection to the winter solstice (p.154). Moses is given authority over ‘times and laws’ (Exodus 4:17)

Serpentine circular time taken authority over by application of Biblical law and appointed times.

The winter solstice as time marker for the birth of the Son/Sun (the testimony of Jesus Christ, the Man Child) before celestial travail in the Revelation 12 Sign



The archer (Jonathan), the lad and David, waiting at the stone of departure – the Winter Solstice – positioned next to Sagittarius in the celestial Golden Gate | Below, a mirror image in the heavens where the archer aims at the heart of the Scorpion | We see the Sun (Bridegroom) and the forerunner planet Mercury, in line with John 3:29: “He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.”

The winter solstice is the ‘stone of departure’ in David and Jonathan’s farewell scene

Let us refresh our minds on the topic and read 1 Samuel 20 again…..

1 Samuel 20:5 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even. 6 If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family. 7 If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him. …….

18 Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty. 19 And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel. 20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.

Recall from earlier writings on 1 Samuel 20 how David (his name means beloved, he is a type of the bride of Christ) speaks of being summoned by his eldest brother Eliab (his name means β€˜God is my father’; a type of Jesus as spiritual older brother) to celebrate a yearly feast with his family in Bethlehem as an explanation of his absence from Saul’s new Moon festive table. Beth-lehem means ‘house of meat’ or ‘house of bread’ … implying prophetically (IMO) that those who do the will of the Father will be called home from enemy territory at the appointed time, a strategic retreat in likeness of the rapture.

Shortly thereafter David is sent back into the harvest fields at which time he overcomes his enemy after being strengthened physically and spiritually (type of transformation, foreshadowing the bridal glorification and being sent back as end times harvest workers). David’s return after three days matches the pattern of the Sun ascending again 3 days after the Winter Solstice ‘stand still’. We studied this narrative previously, linked here. A summation:

  • David strategically withdraws himself out of self preservation and imminent enemy attack (like the rapture is a strategic withdrawal of the Lord’s beloved, his ambassador brides under threat from the enemy javelins or ‘jabs’).
  • The covenant is confirmed (prophetically related to new wine), initiated by the covenant maker (Jonathan as a type of Christ).
  • Together, David and Jonathan embody the church of Philadelphia or β€˜brotherly love’, knit together by the Lord in the Spirit.
  • They separate at the ‘stone of departure’ in the third day. Remember that Jesus’ first recorded miracle was to turn water into β€˜new’ wine (Spirit filled) on the β€œ3rd Day” from John 2. Also, in Acts 2 the people accused Peter and the 3,000 people who were β€˜infilled’ on the day of Pentecost as being drunk on β€œnew wine”.

David also models the captain of the 288.000 end times army (2 groups of 144.000 witnesses, one gentile … one Jewish distinguished in Revelation 7 and 14). From the time and place markers in the first book of Samuel we can conclude that he will be gone – missing from the enemy’s wilderness table – during a certain new Moon feast, proposed to be the upcoming one. The next new Moon sighting is expected December 16th with the Moon at 4,8%, positioned on the back of the archer’s horse underneath his on wing, on the same day Venus (Jesus as Morning Star promised to overcomers) is lastly seen in Libra, the altar of redemption.

The Winter Solstice as ‘stone of departure’ in time and place

The Stone of Ezel, the appointed place | The new Moon, the appointed time

So, in 1 Samuel 20:19 where David and Jonathan arrange to meet at the stone Ezel (H237) In the previous verse, Jonathon says to David, β€œTomorrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty”

  • H237: Ezel = departure. David (beloved) is gone before the New Moon. Now, let’s go to the Greek where we see a reference to β€˜the thief’ coming another way.
  • G237: allochothen = some other way, from another place.
    These 2 words #237 in the Hebrew and Greek only appear once each in the Bible.
Schermafbeelding 2019-08-02 om 16.37.35

Source

β€œG237 only appears in John 10:1 where Jesus refers to the antichrist and the mode of his coming in β€œsome other way” or alternatively β€œfrom some other place”. This links in the John 10 narrative in a further way and the use of the # 237 points to the Old Testament text which gives a specific day that a β€œdeparture” happens.

Later in the chapter, 1 Samuel 20:39 it says this β€œBut the lad knew not anything: only Jonathan and David knew the matter” If we take the highlighted phrase and write it according to the Hebrew words and their meanings we have :- (Jonathan) β€œJehovah has given” (David) β€œBeloved” knowledge of the matter.”

Matthew 24:36 β€œBut of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.”

We read how the Father has given the Beloved (the bride) knowledge on the matter, corresponding with the verse in Matthew 24:42:

β€œWatch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come”

The verse implies we will know if we do watch.

Luke 12:39 – β€œAnd this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.”

Revelation 3:3 β€œRemember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold that, and repent. If therefore thou shall not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.”

Now that two of these verse above include mention of the thief, and many of these verses say to watch, knowing he will come through β€˜another way’ as well. So, none of the verses say that no Christian during the end times will ever know, or that we will be in darkness regarding the coming… In fact, the exact opposite is implied by Revelation 3:3, namely that if we watch, we should know the prophetic season and time and not be surprised by the thief! (Luke 12:39)

Today, we are able to determine the appearance of the β€œnew Moon” over Jerusalem through astronomical computer calculation, though Scripture requires a double witness sighting from Jerusalem, often disregarded by calendar makers and keepers. This is why in ancient times the new moon feasts were a two-day event. The β€œnew Moon” becomes visible over Jerusalem when the crescent reaches an approximate 3-5-degree visibility in the early evening following the setting of the Sun, depending on other conditions of course. If it’s not sighted the first day, the new month starts the next day by default. The first sighted new Moon of the tenth month of Tevet is expected December 16th (at 4,8%) per Torah Calendar and Timeanddate.com, verifiable after the sighting per www.renewedmoon.com.

Time clues

The new moon introduced the new month that the Israelites celebrated with a two-day meal as the Moon could be left unsighted the first day. It was both a religious and a civil holiday (see Numbers 10:10; Numbers 28:11-15; cf. 2 Kings 4:23). David would normally have been present at the king’s table since he was one of Saul’s high-ranking military officers. However, David evidently believed that Saul would try to kill him again if he ate with the king (cf. 1 Samuel 18:11; 1 Samuel 19:10-11).  He foreknew he would have to depart from the court and the one he trusted (Jonathan) who as of yet lacked discernment concerning the intent of David’s enemy and Jonathan’s father: Saul.

David proposes a test (1 Samuel 20:7) to convince Jonathan (not having been given full discernment concerning his father yet) that Saul really intended to kill David of which Jonathan was not fully aware. The covenant David refers to in verse 16 was the one he and Jonathan had previously made (1 Samuel 18:3-4). This is a prophetic type of salvation and betrothal they would later confirm and thus it forms a type of the rapture and our wedding in heaven. David appealed to it and asked Jonathan to kill him himself if he must die, rather than allowing Saul to do it. David wanted to die at the hand of his friend rather than at the hand of his enemy. An interesting exchange between worldly authority and spiritual authority is played out. While David was willing to submit to Jonathan’s civil and military authority as Saul’s Son, Jonathan understood and submitted David’s spiritual anointing and future position as king thus he asked him to safeguard his family in the future which David did.

The two friends now agree upon a sign. Jonathan was to shoot three arrows at this stone, Ezel, as his mark, and was then to send his servant, a young lad, to gather them up. When he had gone some distance Jonathan was to shout to him, loud enough for David to hear. If Jonathan said that the arrows were on that side the mark, i.e. between it and Jonathan, David was to come forth boldly, as all was well. But if Jonathan said that the arrows were further on, then David must understand that he was to seek safety in flight. The young man was not aware (likely typing the ‘innocent in Christ’, children and the feeble minded at the time of the rapture, most of whom will not be aware of what transpires). The departure was only known to Jonathan and David.

David and Jonathan are scheduled to meet up again at the stone of Ezel on the third day to subsequently depart until they meet again in heaven.

The two days leading up to the third day in Scripture are a time of:

  • concealment, seclusion, β€œburial”
  • preparation to serve or meet God
  • testing, discerning, approaching a verdict: death or acquittal

The third day is one of:

  • emergence from circumstances of lifelessness (prison, captivity, famine, illness, or ocean fish)
  • testing situations when a life is put on the line but obedience wins unexpected reversal and deliverance appearance of new life after concealment or death
  • sprouting life from the new earth
  • revival, healing, or restoration of life

The beloved bride and even the enemy’s own are under mounting threats of their javelins, manipulated into covert modern ‘golden calf worship’ and lured into ‘false security’ offered by a mixture of pharmakeia and pseudo-science.

Consider modern ‘javelins’ or vaccine needles/patches distributing mRNA vaccines, containing animal, even fetal genetic material …. the word ‘vaccine’ being derived from the word ‘vache’ or ‘cow’ in French … a modern variant of golden calf worship and incorporation of idolatry, disease and death into our temples. People are (unknowingly) conditioned to pledge allegiance to pharmakeia as insurance of bodily health, ‘peace and security’.

We can see the narrative of David and Jonathan playing out on the world stage today as both the bride and the world at large are being threatened with fiery β€˜javelins’ and shackles in the spirit and in the natural. Note especially how the word javelin in Greek not only refers to a spear, but to a needle as well, and how we can relate to the threat of toxic, likely disease carrying, mRNA vaccines as precursors and conditioning tools for the future mark of the beast.

Enemy javelins carrying false light, disease and death

Combined with a light-emitting substance like Luciferace, it will leave a mark, suitable for biometric tracking

When Jonathan was thrown a javelin (spear) at the time of the new Moon festival, it confirmed Saul’s intent to harm both David (presumed enemy) and even Jonathan himself (associating himself with David). We know our spiritual enemy is out not just to harm believers, but those blinded by him or even professing allegiance to him as well (his proverbial sons and daughters), receiving spiritual darts and ‘vaccine javelins’ with increasingly toxic loads.

Javelins sent forth

β€œShelach” = β€œA Missile (for attack)” (Special note: The Hebrew noun β€œShelach” can denote a missile, a dart, a spear, a javelin, a sword, or a branch. It is derived from the Hebrew root verb β€œShalach” meaning β€œto send out” or β€œto send away”… Notice the similarity with the Greek word β€œApostle” (one sent forth)!…) So what we have here is an illustrative picture of a man (presumably a warrior) holding a spear in his hand. And what does a warrior do with a spear? He throws (β€œsends out”) the spear toward his enemy! The spear is sent forth.

Believers in Christ need not fear:

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. Isaiah 54:17

The manipulation and coercion toward full submission to the beast system will continue as people’s worldly and idolatrous sources of stability and security will be removed after the rapture. After the tribulation mid-point, the administration of the ‘mark of the beast’ (the prerequisite to ‘buy and sell) will require people to pledge allegiance to the antichrist and beast system and renounce Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Accepting the mark will most likely corrupt (hybridize) people’s DNA beyond repair (like the genetic corruption after the Genesis 6 hybridization, a precursor in Scripture). While people are made in the image of God, hybridizing their cell nucleus – the most holy place of our bodily temple – will cause them to no longer be redeemable as the Lord died for mankind alone, not for hybrids or fallen angels. The proposed stepping stones between Covid19 and the mark of the beast are detailed in my Dutch article, found here (translation widget included).

More indicators of a new Moon open door, one of the time clues in the account of David and Jonathan ……

Ezekiel 46 | The β€˜prince’s offerings’ | Inner court open on the sabbath and new Moon

1 Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened. 2 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening. 3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.

Psalm 81:3-4 | Trumpet blown in the new Moon | Burdens removed and deliverance

Sing Aloud to God, Our Strength!

1 {To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of Asaph.} Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. 2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. 3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. 4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. 5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. 6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. 7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

Amos 8 time marker | Selling corn after the new Moon | Perspective of the left behind: Sun darkened, flood, hunger

5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. 8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day: 10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

Isaiah 1 | God hates the new Moon festivals and appointed feasts of the unrepentant and rebellious

14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Hosea 5 | Berean Study Bible | Judgment on Israel and Judah at the new Moon | Ephraim (USA) laid waste

1β€œHear this, O priests! Take heed, O house of Israel! Give ear, O royal house! For this judgment is against you because you have been a snare at Mizpah, a net spread out on Tabor. 2 The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I will chastise them all. 3 I know all about Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me. For now, O Ephraim, you have turned to prostitution; Israel is defiled. 4 Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God, for a spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know the LORD. 5 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them; Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; even Judah stumbles with them. 6 They go with their flocks and herds to seek the LORD, but they do not find Him; He has withdrawn Himself from them. 7 They have been unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the New Moon will devour them along with their land. 8 Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; raise the battle cry in Beth-aven: Lead on, O Benjamin! 9 Ephraim will be laid waste on the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel I proclaim what is certain. 10 The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary stones: I will pour out My fury upon them like water. 11 Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, for he is determined to follow worthless idols. 12 So I am like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah. 13 When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah his wound, then Ephraim turned to Assyria and sent to the great king. But he cannot cure you or heal your wound.14 For I am like a lion to Ephraim and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear them to pieces and then go away. I will carry them off where no one can rescue them.15 Then I will return to My place until they admit their guilt and seek My face; in their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”

To conclude……

Solar analemma and the number 8

The Sun’s trajectory in the heavens, called an analemma resembles the number 8 as it crosses at the spring and fall equinoxes and borders at the solstices, the Winter Solstice forming the end.

Schermafbeelding 2020-06-17 om 22.47.18

The number 8 in the Bible represents a new beginning, meaning a new order or creation, and man’s true β€˜born again’ event when he is resurrected from spiritual death into eternal life. As we see the Sun, embodying our Bridegroom, coming down toward us while darkness encroaches, may we rejoice in Him catching us up shortly for our birth into eternity in heaven.

Much love.

Update December 22 | When they found him

  • 22 December | The Morning Star standoff of Versus vs Antares, the heart of the scorpion | Venus crosses over from Libra into the constellation Ophiuchus and stands 5.8Β° north of Antares (binary star, ‘rival of Mars’ or ‘like Mars), the heart of the Scorpion associated with Raphael and Enoch and the restoration of the keys of dispensation, reflecting the Lord’s triumph over his enemy and the sting of death on our behalf.

Solstice ring of fire opening | Hawaii, the cut-throat island speaks and spews again | Smelling the brimstone | Warning to Laodicea

Hawaii’s β€˜fire and brimstone’ of past eruptions, the recent sequence of raging prophetic storms and the potential, even likelihood of an induced hydrovolcanic explosion availed by lengthy geological manipulation at the fissures, forebode what is imminently coming upon the whole world, like the judgments that came over Sodom and Gomorrah (2 Peter 2:6 and Revelation 3:14-16). Kilauea means β€˜spewing’ or β€˜much spreading’, reflecting prophecies of the birth ring of fire flaming up (standing or crowning head phase), of fiery judgment and perhaps even a dire warning towards the lukewarm of their risk of being spewn out (like a hydrovolcanic eruption, water heated unto explosion) extending far outwards. 

Mauna Kea, the primary location and backdrop of the faked moon landings, forms a pivotal part in the NASA endorsed heliocentric paradigm, which is in turn part of the coming β€˜great deception’ and demonic manifestation after the rapture cloaked as β€˜space alien’ visitation.

Many are aware that Hawaii is geologically shaped as a goat or lamb with the Hilina Slump as the cut-throat section prophesied to be the location of its sacrifice, much like a lamb or goat receives the lethal incision there. Based on the insight the Lord has provided regarding the Biblical meaning of celestial signs, we discern the island is shaped as a Biblical altar as well, reflecting the celestial sign of Libra, the altar of redemption; thus the theme of sacrificial atonement and Hawaii are more easily understood.

Hawaii is situated in the center of the Pacific β€˜Ring of Fire’, a location fitting for a sacrificial birth or fiery β€˜stirring and rising from below’ as well as a geological manifestation of the Lord soon to spew out Laodiceans and their ungodly doctrines, to baptize them in rushing waters and fiery trials as the prophetic chapter of tribulation will shortly begin.

Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

These notes and sources provide further details to glean from, showing the Hawaiian island resembles a Biblical altar with four horns with a crackling fire β€œunder” it, correlating with the days of Elijah. We know the altar of the sixth trumpet of the Book of Revelation is the β€œgolden altar” of incense, which is in the most holy place in heaven β€œbefore God,” not on the earth. The source article hypothesizes that there must be an earthly conduit that connects the altar of incense in heaven with the earth as the heavenly sign for the sixth trumpet clearly illustrates the casting down of the censer from heaven to earth:

And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth:and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. (Revelation 8:5)

  • Tevet 8 | 23-24 December 2020 | Festival of the Septuagint | On the eighth of Tevet one year during the 3rd century BC (proposed 246 BC as start of the translation, after an unsuccessful attempt 61 years earlier), a time of Hellenistic rule of Judea during the Second Temple periodPtolemy, King of Egypt, ordered the translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek, a work which later became known as the Septuagint. Seventy-two sages were placed in solitary confinement and ordered to translate the Torah into Greek.
  • Tevet 9 313 BC – Death of Ezra | 24-25 December 2020 | We’re reminded how Ezra led the return of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel after the Babylonian exile (423-353 BC), oversaw the building of the Second Temple, canonized the 24 books of the Bible and, as head of the “Great Assembly” legislated a series of laws and practices (including formalized prayer) which left a strong impact to Judaism until even this day. He died on the 9th of Tevet of the Hebrew year 3448 (313 BC, 1000 years after the Torah was given on Mount Sinai). The death of Ezra marked the end of what is called the “era of prophesy.”

Christmas day 2BC | When the star stood still and the magi found Jesus

In the book ‘The Star that Astonished the World’ the author states the β€œStar of Bethlehem” was the planet (or β€œwandering star” in antiquity) Jupiter, or Zedeq (β€œRighteousness”) in Hebrew, leading the wise men, God-fearing descendants of the exiled house of Israel and instructed in Biblical astronomy by the prophet Daniel, to worship Jesus in Bethlehem on December 25, 2 BC when Jupiter was stationary or standing still in Virgo, coinciding with Hanukkah that year on the last day of the winter solstice (which lasts 3 days visually). 

In addition to the astronomical time markers and Scripture indicating the magi (and their company) visited the young child (paidion) in a house, not an infant in a manger, also remember how Mary and Joseph gave two pigeons as an offering when Jesus was dedicated after having been born on 9/11 in 3BC, the year of the Roman census. Had they been given the magi’s gifts upon Jesus’ birth, they would have been expected to give to the temple from those assets. We can also discern from Herod’s decree that Jesus was younger than 3 years old. Herod ordered all boys from 2 years and younger in Bethlehem to be murdered to ensure Jesus would be killed (Matthew 2:16), clueing us in on the general timeframe, with Jupiter being stationary on December 25th as the specific day marker of the magi finding our Lord in Bethlehem.

In this study from Pastor Bob Reid you will find insight on the prophecies Daniel shared with the Babylonian magi, which prompted them generations later to go out to Jerusalem and worship the King of Kings in Bethlehem

Interestingly in light of the NWO face-mask craze: the wearing of face-covering is normally required when mourning but Ezekiel is instructed not to (Lev 13: 45, 2 Sam 15:30, 19:4, Jer 14:3 and Micah 3:7.

The sequence begins at midsummer and concludes at winter. The only major fast, for 24-25 hours is on Yom Kippur. The others are minor fasts from sunrise to sundown.

Update December 27 | Moon at Philadelphia’s star in Taurus | In the twinkling of an eye

Today, on Ezekiel’s prophesied day of the downfall of Egypt (see below at Tevet 12) and in the timeframe the magi departed ‘another way’ and Joseph was instructed to flee to Egypt, the Moon will move toward the left eye of Taurus the Bull. This eye is situated right in between the stars that represent Laodicea and Philadelphia in the Hyades cluster (the congregated believers) pertaining to our era and the bride (Philadelphia) called out from the seven churches which the Moon passed just prior (represented by the Pleiades). Taurus represents the coming ruler protecting the seven stars (seven churches), hidden in his right hand (Rev 1:16) coming down to rescue and judge.

Then the Moon will progress towards the southern charging horn of Taurus, named Zeta Tauri or Al Hecka (scratch, gore) in Arabic, a root word for the English β€˜hook’. It’s known as Tianguan/Tien Kwan in Chinese (meaning heavenly gate). Thus Taurus has both a meaning of heavenly entry as well as judgment befalling the world as the Lord in his manifestation as a bull coming down in both capacities. The moon occults the left eye of the bull, leaving the right, twinkling red eye (Aldebaran) shining bright. Subsequently, the Moon will progress towards Gemini, the Bride and Groom cluster.

These are the Scriptures that come to mind regarding this scene in Taurus:

  • The fiery eye of Aldebaran: Revelation 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool [Aries}, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire [Aldebaran in Taurus] and 1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
  • Revelation 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars (Pleiades): and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. No one will pluck them out of his hand:
  • John 10:28 during the feast of dedication: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Aldebaran is known as the red, fiery eye of Taurus the Bull. Aldebaran itself is not part of the cluster but completes the β€˜V’ Shape that is universally signature recognized in Taurus. It also happens to be one of the 4 cardinal stars that fix the 4 Universal Coordinates of the Zodiac. Aldebaran, opposite Antares (the heart star in Scorpio), is associated with the β€˜Silver Star Gate’ that is related to resurrection and known as the ‘gate of man’. Antares on the other side of the ecliptic is associated with the β€˜Golden Gate’ or that of β€˜death’, the gate of the gods.

12 Tevet – 587 B.C.: Ezekiel prophesied the downfall of Egypt, its invasion from the north and the triumph of Babel.

“In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Son of Man, direct your face towards Pharaoh, king of Egypt … who has said, ‘Mine is my river, and I have made myself [powerful]’…Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the Lord… It will be the lowest of the Kingdoms…” (Ezekiel 29). (Others 3339 / 423 B.C.)

To read Ezekiel 29) and Ezekiel 33 in full.

I understand these chapters speak prophetically of the coming destruction of spiritual Egypt, the worldwide system of materialism, wealth and idolatry, spearheaded by the US whose leadership has modeled the country after Egypt, recognizable in many cities’ ground plans and architectural designs. Dwelling amidst or alongside such spiritual idolatry, spiritual Israel (believers saved by grace through faith, those of the seed of Abraham) are instructed to not put their faith in ‘Egypt’ or what it has to offer, but trust and follow God alone.

Here you can read how the US, the daughter of Babylon, has shaped itself as new-Egypt and has dedicated herself to its ancient pagan gods including its closet ‘king Tut’ (Obama, the first beast) soon to re-emerge on the scene. We can discern how the country has assimilated Egypt’s religion and detestable religious practices, trusting on material wealth and covenants with spiritual Egypt as opposed to God himself. It may not come as a surprise her fate will be as that of her ancient predecessors, prophesied in Ezekiel 29-33 as well as in Isaiah 18 and 19, namely: foreign invasion, destruction, and dispersion. Her ‘day of destruction’ is prophesied to be a day of salvation for (spiritual) Israel (Ezekiel 29:21) at the same time, just like the constellation Taurus embodies simultaneous judgment and salvation. In it we may discern a type of the rapture, the horn of salvation coming, as stated in Luke 1:69, pointing to Jesus.

Excerpt from the linked document mentioned above on the USA being modeled after ancient Egypt:

And he drew near …

Luke 21 speaks of our redemption drawing nigh, connecting the heavenly signs and celestial clock as well as earthly ‘signs of the times’:

The Return of the Son of Man | Matthew 24:26-31Mark 13:24-27

Luke 21: 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

This week’s Torah readings – instituted by Ezra – speak of Israel’s redemption drawing nigh in Joseph’s Egypt (like last week) as they cover the revelation of Joseph, a type of the Lord, to his brothers as well as the reunification of Judah and Ephraim. It is a prophetic foreshadowing of the time of tribulation, when those who rejected the Lord will be reunited with him if they repent and turn back to him, after being tried and tested.

  • 12 Tevet 4763 – 1002: A violent earthquake rocked Israel, causing serious damage to the walls of Jerusalem and to the Migdal / Tower of David (where Jesus was born, related to Mary Magdala) (others 1033). This could be a forerunner time stamp for the ‘great shaking’ prophesied to occur after Kislev 24 in Haggai 2.

Update December 29th | A double crowning of the Archer and a Full Moon

Today and tomorrow, on the 14th day of the tenth Biblical month, we see Sagittarius’ face ‘shining like the Sun’ a type of solar crowning, reminiscent of the Lord’s transfiguration on the mountain, halfway heaven and earth where we will meet him as well. In addition, we have a full Moon in Gemini, the bride and groom cluster opposite the Sun (at aphelion). The December full moon, colloquially known as the Oak Moon, Cold Moon, and Long Nights Moon, always shines in or near the stars of Gemini. While Venus (bright morning star) is in between the leg arch of Ophiuchus, Mercury (messenger, chief speaker) passes Nunki (Prince to come), the brightest star in Sagittarius. This star is the ‘torch barer’ and points us to the ‘arrows in the quiver of the Lord’, the gentile portion of David’s 288.000 strong end times army, their arrows pointed at the heart of the Scorpion, Antares. It also reminds me of the groomsman going towards the bride at night to announce the bridegroom’s coming, his torch held up high to light his way. A reminder of David (meaning ‘beloved’, a prophetic bride type) is close by too, in comet Erasmus (means ‘beloved’ as well), confirming the Jonathan-David narrative we shared above and their parting ways after the winter solstice.

Enemy celestial signaling

Looking at the Sun’s current position in Sagittarius from the enemy’s perspective, we may discern a false crowning or birthing through a fiery ring as well, with the onset of the apocalyptic horsemen riding out after our departure, carrying spears (javelins/jabs) aimed at their own.

The Biblical meaning of Sagittarius

Bullinger: In Sagittarius, we find the triumph of the Coming One, who is represented as going forth “conquering and to conquer.”

The subject is beautifully set forth in the written Word (Psalm 45:3-5)

Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh, O most mighty,
[Gird Thyself] with Thy glory and Thy majesty,
And in Thy majesty ride propserously,
Because of truth, and meekness, and righteousness;
And Thy right hand shall teach Thee terrible things.
Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies;
Whereby the people fall under Thee.

John, in his apocalyptic vision, sees the same mighty Conqueror going forth. “I saw (he says) a white horse, and He that sat on him had a bow,…and He went forth conquering and to conquer” (Revelation 6:2). This is precisely what is foreshadowed in the star-pictured sign now called by the modern Latin name Sagittarius, which means the Archer.

The Hebrew and Syriac name of the sign is Kesith, which means the Archer (as in Genesis 21:20). The Arabic name is Al Kaus, the arrow. In Coptic it is Pimacre, the graciousness, or beauty of the coming forth. In Greek it is Toxotes, the archer, and in Latin Sagittarius.

The names of the brightest stars are significant:

Hebrew, Naim, which means the gracious one. This is exactly what is said of this Victor in the same Psalm (45), in the words immediately preceding the quotation above:

“GRACE is poured into Thy lips;
Therefore God hath blessed Thee for ever.”

Hebrew, Nehushta, the going or sending forth.

We see the same in the Arabic names which have come down to us: Al Naim, the gracious one; Al Shaula, the dart; Al Warida, who comes forth; Ruchba or rami, the riding of the bowman.

An ancient Akkadian name in the sign is Nun-ki, which means Prince of the Earth.

Again we have the picture of a Centaur as to his outward form, i.e. a being with two natures. Not now far down in the south, or connected with His sufferings and sacrifice as man; but high up, as a sign of the Zodiac itself, on the ecliptic, i.e. in the very path in which the sun “rejoiceth in his going forth as a strong man.”

According to Grecian fable, this Sagittarius is Cheiron, the chief Centaur; noble in character, righteous in his dealings, divine in his power.

Such will be the coming Seed of the woman in His power and glory:

The sceptre of Thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness;
Therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Psalm 45:6, 7

In the ancient Zodiac of Denderah he is called (as in Coptic) Pi-maere, i.e. graciousness, beauty of the appearing or coming forth. The characters under the hind foot read Knem, which means He conquers.

This is He who shall come forth like as an arrow from the bow, “full of grace,” but “conquering and to conquer.”

In all the pictures he is similarly represented, and the arrow in his bow is aimed directly at the heart of the Scorpion.

Thus ARATUS said of Cheiron:

“‘Midst golden stars he stands refulgent now,
And thrusts the scorpion with his bended bow.”

In this Archer we see a faint reflection of Him who shall presently come forth, all gracious, all wise, all powerful; whose arrows shall be “sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies.”

God shall shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly shall they be wounded.
So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves;
All that see them shall flee away.
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God;
For they shall wisely consider of His doing.
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in Him;
And all the upright in heart shall glory.
Psalm 64:7-10

Sagittarius and the end of heaven 

Sagittarius speaks: β€œI am coming to rescue my bride; I am coming to destroy the destroyer.” 

Insights from a study on the winter solstice 2012

Psalm 19:5 specifically references two of the constellations in the sun’s ecliptic path, and it is important to identify them so that we can determine what exactly verse 6 is referring to as β€œone end of heaven.”Which [the sun] is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race. Its [the sun’s] rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat. ~Psalm 19:5–6

Sagittarius is the running archer in the Mazzaroth whose arrows will drive deep into the hearts of the Lord’s enemies (Scorpio), vindicating the wrath of God and establishing His kingdom. This interpretation also fits within the context of the rest of Psalm 45. Sagittarius is the Lord coming in glory, riding towards battle on a white horse through the sky. Revelation 19:11–13 details His valiant entry.

Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

The Lord as an archer

The Prophet Habakkuk alludes to the Lord as an archer as well. Habakkuk 3 gives us details of the tribulation judgments and the return of the Lord Jesus Christ and his triumphant victory over his enemies and the enemies of Israel at the end of the Tribulation.

1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth. 2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, [and] was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy. Those who heard the Lord, followed his instructions and understand even when he comes in judgment, he is merciful. 3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. Habbakuk witnesses the arrival of the Lord in the heavens, although bright and all-compassing, his presence was veiled (like Jesus coming in the clouds at the rapture visible to the whole world) 4 And [his] brightness was as the light; he had horns [coming] out of his hand: and there [was] the hiding of his power. Rays of extreme light power emanated from His hand. He uses this power against his people’s enemies amassed against her. 5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet. Pestilence (infectious diseases) and fire and brimstone preceded his coming, like current day Ebola, Covid19 and the onset of fiery judgment upon USA Babylon and ‘the rulers of Jerusalem’ as in the days of Sodom.6 He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways [are] everlasting. 7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: [and] the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. 8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? [was] thine anger against the rivers? [was] thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses [and] thy chariots of salvation? 9 Thy bow was made quite naked, [according] to the oaths of the tribes, [even thy] word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. The Lord is introduced as an archer, his children are his arrows in his quiver with whom he has made an oath (a possible reference to the comeback believers in a glorified state having agreed upon their mission)
10 The mountains saw thee, [and] they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the formally deep uttered his voice, [and] lifted up his hands on high. 11 The sun [and] moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, [and] at the shining of thy glittering spear. More markers point to Sagittarius and the location of the Winter Solstice. It appears that Habbakuk associated the time of the winged mighty ones with the arrows from heaven and the lightning-like spears opposing Scorpio with a time of the sun and moon conjoining with the galactic center. The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering (astrape-LXX) spear. Habakkuk 3:1112 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger. 13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, [even] for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah. We see this scene reflected in Ophiuchus’s trampling Scorpio and Leo trampling Hydra. God intervened for the salvation of His chosen people….. 14 Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing [was] as to devour the poor secretly. 15Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, [through] the heap of great waters. 16 When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops. Habbakuk understands that the Lord coming down in judgment implies his rest. 17Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither [shall] fruit [be] in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and [there shall be] no herd in the stalls: It appears that after these events happen that there will be worldwide crop failure, food shortages and die-offs/disappearance of animals also resonating with the horsemen of the apocalypse.18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 19 The LORD God [is] my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ [feet], and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

On Nunki, Sagittarius’ brightest star

The brightest star in the shaft of Sagittarius’ arrow was known by the name of Nunki in the ancient Sumerian culture. At times the entire stellar sign was known as Nunki. Nunki meant the place of the holy ones or the place of the mighty ones. It is the place where the archer holds the arrows and stretches the bow.

When writing about the transition from this age unto the age of kingdom of God on earth the prophet Joel wrote too about these mighty men in a context that included flames and horsemen.

Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: Joel 2:1-7

Jeremiah wrote of horsemen and bowmen in the continuation of his prophecy about the judgment that is recorded in the fourth chapter of the biblical book attributed to him.

The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein. Jeremiah 4:29

When David prayed for the day of the Lord’s judgment he prayed for the arrows of these bowmen to be shot forth. Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. Cast forth lightning,(astrape-LXX) and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. Psalm 144:4-6

Today on the 14th of Tevet we also commemorate the drafting of the text of the Declaration by United Nations on 29 December 1941. The Declaration was signed by twenty-six nations on January 1st, 1942. Celestially, this event is visually anchored in the heavens, in the southern crown of Sagittarius we see a mirror of the UN logo.

Glorious faces in Scripture: Jesus transfigured, Stephen’s face shining and ours reflecting Jesus’ glory

Matthew 17:2 And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.

Stephen also radiated God’s glory before his martyrdom when his face glowed. Acts 6.15 explains, “And all who sat in the council looked intently at him, and they saw that his (Stephen’s) face was like the face of an angel.”  Below Sagittarius we see a Stephanos crown, a Roman-type laurel crown promised to those finishing their race. We recognize a similar one in the UN logo. Stephen was tried and stoned to death within a year after the Lord’s crucifixion; Saul took part and converted (Paul) very soon after.

Our faces will soon shine too: 2 Corinthians 3.18, “And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”
