The Son of God gave up Heaven’s throne and breathed his first breath in a dusty feeding troth in Bethlehem. As Creator, the Beginning and End, He had made man from the dust of the earth. Could that be why He used mud to heal the man born blind? Why would he step down from Heaven to experience our frailty?  He knows that we are weak and easily tempted.  Obviously, He knew how much we need Him, so he became one of us and paid for our sins.  That is the greatest Gift ever given. The Life, Death, Resurrection and Return of Jesus Christ are God’s plan for eternal redemption for all who believe and trust in Him.

Jesus declared himself “Living Water” and said that “anyone can drink of it.” He declared, “I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life,” John 8:12. He gave us the Holy Spirit so that we will not walk in darkness. The Great Mystery is that God’s Spirit is sealed in all who believe in Him, guaranteeing eternal fellowship and life with Him.  And Jesus Christ is the Word (John 1:1) which is “living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the ideas and thoughts of the heart,” Heb. 4:12.  God moves in us through the Holy Spirit which helps us understand everything including prophecy and other profound Truths in the Word.

It is important to comprehend what is true or false and to never give up seeking the Truth. Jesus called Satan the Father of Lies and warned us concerning the last days that “no one deceive you.” Deception comes in many forms including saying that Jesus Christ is just an angel. There are other more subtle ways to deceive and that is why adding or subtracting to God’s Word or changing its translation and interpretation is dangerous. Since the Church was formed there have been heresies, false Christs, and misplaced prophecy.  We must see with eyes that see.

Ephesians 1:13-14 states, “You, too, have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed in Jesus Christ, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until God redeems his own possession for his praise and glory.” Spreading the Gospel of salvation to every nation and tribe is the commission given by Jesus Christ just before He ascended into Heaven.  Satan wants to stop it and will do anything to deceive those seeking God or who are lost in sin. As Jesus said, he has come to set the captives free and give sight to the blind. Jesus accused the Pharisee’s of not seeing with eyes that see and failing to see the Signs of the time.  Ironically, we are now in an era where a prevailing system of prophecy is dictating the truth while not having eyes that see. They have failed to see the Signs of the time while blindly suppressing all other viewpoints.

The Apostle John who wrote Revelation states, “In the beginning, the Word existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He existed in the beginning with God. ³ Through him all things were made, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made. ⁴ In him was life, and that life brought light to humanity. And the light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out,” John 1:1-4. This not only sums up the Gospel but also the Character of Jesus Christ, Creator and Sustainer despite darkness.  Satan can deceive and lie but God’s steadfast love and truth will prevail. This is why God established a 2000-year Church Age prior to completing His Plan for the Ages. He has been and will be near us during this wilderness period where the Church is tested and strengthened.

Presently God is near to all those seeking Him. In the book of Revelation John declares, “He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him-even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be. Amen,” Revelation 1:7. People will mourn because of past unbelief and failure to see with eyes that see and hear with ears that hear. It is important to understand prophecy so that you will see the signs and know how God intends to fulfill His promises and prophecies. You do not want to be like the blind guides who give false knowledge and views dependent on false interpretation of key prophecies such as Daniel 9:24-27. Listen and see the God that is near you. To the believer He is in you guiding you and sustaining you. Seek Him out.

John ends his Gospel by saying, “these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”   Jesus says, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through me,” John 14:3. Throughout His ministry beginning with His Baptism we discover that “his name” is “Wonderful Counselor, Bread of Life, the Living Water, Resurrection and the Life, Great Physician, The Lamb of God, and dozens of others. They reveal the Heart of God and why He wants to have a relationship with you. He was also called “Good Teacher” and He greatly desires for you to know the Truth so that you can grow close to Him. Hell is the only place in the Universe where God is not Near. Presently Jesus is very near to all those seeking Him. Psalm 108, tells us that He is “slow to anger” and does not deal with us “according to our sins, nor repay us according to our inequities.” His anger falls on Jesus.  “The steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him,” Ps. 103:17.

His “Name” proclaims who He is and how He upholds and protects us. The incredible Truth is Jesus Christ is not only near but is literally in our heart.  The Word gives us clear hard Truth to guide us, comfort us and most of all fulfill our greatest needs. He is the Beginning and the End and therefore gives us a look into the future. He is the Author of Life and of the Future and therefore the time he gave us, the 3.5 years of His ministry, is the foundation of the Prophetic 7-year Timeline that completes history and crowns God’s mission to save mankind. Unfortunately, this is not what you will hear from the typical pulpit. The worse thing that you can do is to stop seeking Truth.

God protects us with His prophetic commands:  1.) “Come and let us reason together, says 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,” Isaiah 1:18. This fatherly command requires both faith and trust- a willingness to reason and walk with God in obedience. 2.) “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature,” Mark 16:15.”  Again, have faith and trust to share the Gospel.  3.)  Concerning the Book of Daniel Jesus commands, “whosoever reads it, let him understand.” God wants us to study and discern the truth so that we can prepare for His Return.  4.)  In that walk to Emanus Jesus scolded them “Oh fools, slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken.” God wants us to see with eyes that see.  5.) In the book of Revelation, Jesus declares, “Blessed is the one who reads this message, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things that are written in it; for the time is at hand,” Rev. 1:3.  God will bless those who commit to reading and understanding His Promises, His Signs, and His Warnings because the “time is at hand.” He wants us to understand and decipher the signs of the time and the profound Truth in the Word so that we can pray in the Spirit for direction and discernment.

During Israel’s 70-year captivity God spoke to and through the Prophet Daniel. Some say he was a type of Christ, because his prophecies had a direct connection to the coming Messiah. In prayer and fasting Daniel interceded for the nation and received visions and a powerful message from the Archangel Gabriel. The most consequential is recorded in Daniel 9:24-26: “Seventy sevens are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.”  Verse 25: “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble.  Verse 26: “After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.” The puzzle of words and phrases above is God’s prophetic timeline for the Ages. Verse 27 is not quoted because it will be discussed in the next Chapter because it is even more confusing.

This announcement by Gabriel points to more than birth but also the Life, Resurrection and Return of Jesus Christ. The timeline spans over 2500 years from 457 B.C. to the Millenium period. The first period involves 49 years (7 weeks) to rebuild Jerusalem, then 434 years (62 weeks) until the Anointed Prince, Jesus Christ appears. The last Week or 7 years begins with the Baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. The first half ends with Jesus putting “an end to sin, atoning for wickedness and bringing in everlasting life.” The 2^nd half of the 7 years begins with the Wrath of God and ends with the Millenium. Between the two halves of the Week is the Covenant period of Grace given to mankind for Salvation to all who believe. The Rapture of the Church will rescue believers before the final 3.5-year Wrath begins. There is no 7-year Wrath of God. One must keep seeking the Truth to be prepared.

Unfortunately, as time has passed some key verses such as those in Daniel have been reinterpreted and poorly applied. What was accepted by early Church fathers has been twisted into one 7-year Wrath of God that omits the severe trials that the disciples were about to go through. It seems clear that Jesus was giving them the warning in the Olivett Discourse, after all He mentions “them” and “you” twenty-four times in that discourse.

This book will give an accurate, biblically centered explanation that fits the spirit of the Word. It recognizes that the nation of Israel was formed in 1948 fulfilling God’s Promise. Knowing this will help you understand prophecy and thus discern truth. The Holy Spirit will reveal to you God’s heart for Israel. In Jeremiah 31:3, God states, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore, with lovingkindness I have drawn you.”  This is just one of dozens of promises that God has made to Israel. God is drawing both Jew and Gentile to Him and declares, “All those led by the Spirit of God are Sons of God,” Romans 8:14. Jesus Christ wants us to know that He is not only God’s Son but also Lord and Lord of Lord’s. Our faith will grow as our understanding grows and as we share this Gospel to both Jew and Gentile. He helps, guides, and protects us and declares: “I will never leave you nor forsake you,” Heb. 13:5.

God literally walked with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. And He warned them and the Serpent about a future battle between their ancestor (Jesus Christ) and the Serpent’s seed (the Anti-Christ). Throughout His Word he reveals thousands of prophecies that light up our past and illuminate our future. They expose darkness, for He is a “lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path,” Ps. 119:105. Below is a simple outline of one of the most important unanswered prophecies in the Word of God. This is Daniel’s 70-Weeks Prophecy quoted earlier and spoken by Gabriel. Sixty-nine and a half of the 70 weeks have been fulfilled but the last portion of the final week carries with it the prophetic era of Salvation and rebirth that was spoken of by the prophets.

• The 70 Weeks (v. 24): A set timeframe established by God for the Jewish people and those of the “anointed one” to conclude sin and bring in righteousness.
• The 1^st stage (v. 25): From the decree to rebuild Jerusalem until the “Messiah the Prince,”
• Begins with Rebuilding (v. 25): Jerusalem will be rebuilt with streets and a moat, but in “troublesome” or “perilous” times.
• Then a Mysterious Death (v. 26): After the 62 weeks, the Anointed One (Messiah) will be “cut off” (killed) and have nothing.
• Destruction of What and When? (v. 26): The people of the “prince who is to come” will destroy the city and the sanctuary (Temple) in 70 A.D. or sometime in the distant future?
• Desolation and Sacrifice (v. 27): Points to Jesus Christ and not to the Anti-Christ as is often taught.  And it means that the “covenant” is granted by Jesus Christ in the middle of the week. Those who receive Christ as their Savior will be born again. Jews are included and Jerusalem is now part of the Jewish nation fulfilling prophecy. But evil and rebellion will grow until the end comes with both the rapture and the 3.5-year Wrath of God. It is during this time that the first and second beasts will appear.

As we walk with Him through time we will see and experience His Steadfast Love.  We will see a unity of Spirit and Truth that holds the message together and carries God’s Spirit into our heart and not just our mind.  This is not an Academic study but is a dive into the heart of God and the trust and obedience that comes through Him.

There is no confusion nor doubt when one discovers God’s profound Truth and Love for us. In His steadfast love we find hope for our present predicament and future trials. God restores us and reverses our circumstance. His steadfast love endures forever and is expressed in redemption, sanctification and by His “great wonders” (like parting the Red Sea). He is our daily Good Shepherd that will help us learn and grow in Him (sanctification). There are other profound truths mentioned in the outline that will be discussed.  So, hang tight and allow the Spirit of God to touch and teach your heart and mind as you read the next Chapter.

Note that now more than ever the “weeds or tares are growing ever bigger along the fruitful grain,” Matt. 13:30. North Africa, Constantinople, and Egypt were completely Chrisian until the 7^th Century.  Revelation’s 7-Churches were Christian and now they do not exist, The Sancta Sophia was the largest Christian Church in the world – now it does not exist.  In England girls are gang-raped and not prosecuted maybe because it has over 85 Sharia courts.

Do you remember what Jesus said concerning his execution: Jesus declared that he had 12 legions of angels at His disposal to rescue him?  However, His plan was much greater, to be a sacrifice for the sins of the world.  So where are those angels? Revelation states that thousands surround Heaven’s throne. However, Hebrews 1:13-14 states, “But to which of the angels did he ever say, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet?  All of them are spirits on a divine mission, sent to serve those who are about to inherit salvation, aren’t they?”  It is possible that those angels have been reassigned to protect Christ who is us. Therefore, they are helping those “inheriting” salvation. They play a part in the great 2000 year era of the Church. And prophecy concurs that the Church is upheld by God’s hand until the rapture.  We can have hope even in a hopeless world.

In the Next Chapter we will delve into the center of a deep prophetic debate that will reveal profound Truth and shades of falsehood that have grown within Christian theology. We will see how the mistranslation of just a few words changes prophecy and creates a fog of confusion. These Prophecies are central to God’s heart and His promise to both Israel and the Church. The danger comes when we ignore the Spirit and heart in which certain words are used and override it with an Academic matrix of uninspired ideas to fit preconceived notions.

One notion is that Israel was permanently rejected by God when Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 A.D. by the Roman Empire. These “enlightened authors” and others within the last few centuries concluded that the New Covenant replaced the Covenant given to Israel, overriding key Promises made to Moses and other prophets. This rejection of Biblical truth and other dogma helped birth Nazism and the popularity of Islam in the West.   Agnosticism and rejection of good theological truth has grown in popularity with each generation feeding antisemitism, transgenderism, homosexuality, angel worship, witchcraft, and very bad Eschatology (the study of Prophecy). These philosophers, often under the guise of Christianity, undermined the heart of God’s message to our generation. It has become an intellectual trap like a modern-day “Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil.”

We are witnessing how bad dogma affects political movements and policy throughout the world. People do not realize that it is setting the stage for the Anti-Christ and the coming Wrath of God.  Just remember that Christ is Near and promises, “My Grace is sufficient for you, My Strength is made perfect in weakness,” II Cor. 12:9.

As we jump into the next Chapter remember that God often speaks to us through prophets like Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah and many more including King David. “Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets,” Amos 3:7. Therefore, we must take care to accurately translate and understand truth that God conveys in His Word. He loves us and wants to strengthen us. This Psalm is for persecuted people under trial as Iranian Christians are and was sung by Priestly Sons of Korah. It reminds us that we are a Royal Priesthood (II Peter 2:9) and that we can approach Christ’s throne of Grace at any time, (Heb. 4:16).                                                                              “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
  Therefore we will not fear though the earth give way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,” Psalm 36:1-2.

I have a question for all those optimistic pastors that have stated or suggested on TV that God will delay His judgment and thus the Rapture based upon a particular Church or regional revival.  Revival is good, but God did say that these last days are like the Days of Noah and those “people as a whole” did not repent even though they were heavily forewarned by Noah for 100 years. So I ask those leaders and you, do you really think that repentance can happen when half the church believes that Israel is not relevant in Biblical Eschatology and that God no longer has a Covenant with the nation of Israel? Sorry but God has an appointed Day and Hour for the Rapture and the leaders in the Church will unfortunately try everything to convince Christians not to worry but to keep the agenda and things will work out. They want the weekly income and are unwilling to believe that things will change.

The important thing to know is that God is in control but that His control means that He will bring judgment to the nations around us that are directly rebelling against Him. The most rebellious nation may just be America as we are the promoters of gender transition and puberty blockers that are destroying children. Pfizer and other big Pharma make billions on these life altering – soul destroying drugs.

We also have the largest most lucrative gambling, pornography, and drug abuse markets in the world. We generate the most idols and other bad thinking that is hurting the hearts of people throughout the world. So do you really believe that God is going to ignore America and passover the doors of evil that are being glorified by our wicked government? Wake up Church, get your life in order and stop worshipping your idols!!!!!!!!!! Start sharing the Gospel and read the Bible. 7 years ago I was warning of a foreshadowing of the 7 years of Tribulation and warned of prophetic events to happen in 2024 and 2025 or primarily in the Jewish year of 5784-85. Read the book Cosmic Crossroad Countdown: The Invisible War & Final Chapter. All the book does is just point out what the Prophets have said and the Great Signs that God has given us yet we do not see with eyes that see and hear with ears that hear.

We are too confused and distracted by the world and our own anxieties. And do not missunderstand. Repentance is importance but the key element is Obedience to His Word—to His Name. Obedience is better than sacrifice and frankly in America or the average church repentance is not sincere enough to reflect even a big sacrifice. How many really change their habits long term?

Is it just a coincidence that we have a bizzare incompetant leadership in this trying time? Is it coincidence that perversion as mentioned in Romans 1 is a dominant part of our culture? God has already judged our nation and the next stage can be understood if you read the history of the fall of Empires such as the Roman Empire.

What is Truth & Why is it So Important-   JESUS TAUGHT:  Love Does Not Delight in Evil but Rejoices in Truth:

In order to deal with and expose Lies, we must know the Truth. Much like Treasury Department agents who are taught to study the authentic dollar bill in order to spot the counterfeit we must know the Truth in order to know and spot the lie. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through me.” Jesus Christ himself defines TRUTH. This may be why it is the most controversial verse in the Bible. It also denies the veracity and claims of all other cults and religions. Jesus Christ did what no other human could do, He died for our sins and rose from the dead, as an eternal unblemished SIN OFFERING. Born of a Virgin and Spirit of God through a supernatural transformation, Jesus was fully God and fully Man, the perfect sacrifice. If you place your trust in this offering, you will be eternally forgiven. God will give you a new identity and a new purpose in life. The Resurrection is the most powerful event to ever happen, and God grants us the privilege of partaking in this power. Jesus said that He is the Word and that He alone is the Door by which we can enter His kingdom. Our works and knowledge cannot save us. Throughout His journey with us, Jesus used the Power of His Word to change the world. He quoted Deuteronomy multiple times to defeat Satan.  His Psalms promise that “The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple”

The Word describing the Life and Ministry of Jesus Christ is the New Testament. His birth, death, and resurrection fulfill over 350 Old Testament prophecies and point to His Return which will then fulfill another 900 or more prophecies. Jesus Christ, the Author of the Christian Faith, sets precise TIME periods and SIGNS in both the New and Old Testaments to prepare the way for the Return. For instance, the Sign of the Cross is in both the Old and New Testament, and both offer Life and Grace to those “bitten by the serpent.” This is an example of God using a Sign or timeless message as a beacon to alert us about His eternal plan to redeem his Creation. He presented this promise in Genesis 3:15 and then fulfilled it in His birth and resurrection, in the birth of the nation of Israel on May 14, 1948, in the Return of Jerusalem in the miracle war of 1967, and by Trump’s declaration to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem on December 6, 2017. Each is a step toward the final battle in Israel where He will defeat Satan and the Anti-Christ. Amazingly each of these events is tied to God’s great prophets, to historical markers such as His Jubilee years and Festivals, and to prophecies given by Jesus in the Gospels and Revelation. Unlike any other book, the Bible lays an accurate picture of history, science, and the future. No other book predicts the future and carries the power of the Cross and Resurrection and so we must remember to read, understand, and share it.

Biblical Signs point to the future and are anchored in the past. They play an integral part in both the Prophecy and Promises made by Jesus Christ. The beautiful Sign of the rainbow is a promise that God will never again flood the entire earth. The Bethlehem Star pointed to the time and place of Christ’s birth. The sign of the Cross in the wilderness was represented by a serpent on a pole and by the pattern of the encampment set when 12 tribes arranged their tents North, South, East, and West in blocks of 3 tribes aligned parallel to the rectangle created by both the Tabernacle and the Levite tents arranged on three sides of the Tabernacle. This forms a perfect cross pattern that is highlighted by the fact that two of the groupings have almost exact numbers of men (forming the arms), compared to Judah’s group with many more (forming the base) and Ephraim’s group with the least. On one side, the East side facing away from Mt. Sinai, Moses and Aaron placed their large tents. The Tabernacle itself was a special part of the sign for it had an outer layer of skin made from the white Scimitar Oryx and an inner layer of ram’s skin that God commanded to be dyed red.

The Scimitar Oryx is extinct in the wild but the Texas Safari ranch near Clifton Texas has managed to preserve the breed. It is easily domesticated and herded for meat, milk, and transportation. As explained in the first book the name in the Jewish dialect describing them evokes a marine animal because they appeared to be jumping like large fish in the desert mirage. Unfortunately, many linguists have made the mistake of thinking that the marine root word indicates that the outer layer was made of porpoise skin or badger skin. This is an example where Academic overreach can fail when science and logic are not considered. The Jews were not fishermen and did not hunt badgers which are one of the most difficult animals in existence to hunt. Many languages like English use descriptive root words such as Tiger shark and Bull shark to describe how the animal behaves or looks even though both are still fish. Change is slow in Academia and in book publishing, which allows these important errors to persist. This is the same type of error that has allowed publishers to place Mt. Sinai in Egypt instead of Arabia where the science of geography and the use of satellite photography clearly indicates where it must be located. Present-day tribal leaders that live in the region also accept that the Holy Mountain of God known as Jabal al-Lawz is in Arabia where their ancient Midianite ancestors lived. Other important factors and markers supporting this location will be discussed later. Even the Saudi government now recognizes the significance of Jabal al-Lawz and has recently allowed tourism in this location. A detailed and accurate picture of the encampment is presented in the CosmicCrossroadCcountdown Trilogy books.

 As the outer layer of the Tabernacle covering stretched and shrunk due to the hot wind and sun, it exposed the red stripes of that inner layer. Isaiah 53:3 states, “By His stripes, we are healed.” The Tabernacle after all was where Jesus Christ dwelt amongst the people in the wilderness as He dispensed His Grace and Love for this nation He was nurturing and protecting. The encampment in the shape of the cross provided 4 safe zones for women, children, and the herd animals to bivouac in safety and for the men to form their marching lines when moving to a new location. It also gave a larger profile on the horizon to discourage enemy attacks and a way to easily out-flank an enemy if they should attack.  It is all explained and illustrated in Dr. Hofmann’s Cosmic Crossroad Countdown Trilogy. It must have been a striking sight from heaven’s view with all the campfires lit.

 And now we must address the only Sign that God calls the GREAT SIGN. This must be a very special sign for it is Chapter 12, the Middle Chapter of the Book of Revelation, a Chapter that is NOT in chronological order. And it is the only sign called the Great Sign in His Word. We know that Chapters 12 and 13 cannot be in chronological order for three important reasons. 1) Chapter 12 speaks of Satan being cast out of heaven permanently which implies that prior to this event he can still accuse the Saints before the throne of God. 2) If he is still in heaven through Chapter 12, how can he be on earth killing the Saints that are shown to be already martyred and in heaven in Chapter 7? Plus, would God rapture the Saints in Chapter 4 while Satan is still in heaven accusing the Saints? This would seem unlikely. 3) In Chapter 13 how can the Anti-Christ be rising out of the sea, a reference to his birth out of the Gentile world, when in Chapter 11 he has already killed the two witnesses? These Chapters are spotlight events that help us orient the Big Picture. They tell a separate yet important story that acts as a warning for us today. They help make us aware of what to look for. For instance, the Anti-Christ will be a Gentile and the Sign of the Woman is a Warning LIGHT that Satan will soon be cast to earth. And therefore, we must WAKE UP, prepare and share the Gospel for God timed the Great Sign to appear in our time to warn us of the Covid attack but also to warn us of the invisible spiritual battle that is presently preparing the stage for the Anti-Christ.

Many teachers of Revelation fail to see this and claim that the Book of Revelation is in perfect Chronological Order and that the Great Sign is of no consequence since it happened as a spiritual event before time began. This is the position of some Southern Baptists and most Amillennialists. This myopic view blinds the Church to God’s purpose for the Sign. It demotes the Sign and gives it a different meaning. Why for instance would God call it a Great Sign if it happened before the creation of man? No one would be alive to be warned by it. This is one reason God motivated the author to write this series of books warning the Church. And by the way, Dr. Hofmann has been blessed and not cursed since he wrote the first book. Many other Christian leaders reply that this type of warning has failed in the past and therefore we should ignore the Signs and take no notice. They want people to feel at ease and comfortable in their pews. This is a big mistake. Satan wants to catch the Church in slumber and does not want it to be alert and of sound mind. The Word states, “Be Alert and of Sound Mind so that you can pray.” The key difference between now and past predictions is that both the nation of Israel and the Sign of Revelation 12 appeared at the perfect moment in time- exactly 70 years apart. Both are key markers for our 70-year prophetic generation as forewarned by Jesus in His Fig Tree Parable given on the Mount of Olives. The “ripened leaves” of the Fig Tree and Ezekiel’s “dry bones” coming to life are both prophecies pointing to the birth of the nation of Israel in 1947-48. Satan has done everything he can to blind the world from recognizing both. As he did with the Pharisees in the time of Jesus Satan seeks to blind the Christian world so that it will not see the time of the Anti-Christ approaching.

God promises a blessing to all who read, hear and understand the book of Revelation. This is one reason why we must study and share this prophetic book. God also warns the reader that anyone who adds or subtracts from the Book of Revelation will be cursed. It is clear that the Great Sign of Revelation 12 points to the future and not the past and that it incorporates Promises declared by God. For instance, Revelation 12 has a foundation that connects to the promise of the birth of the Messiah, the vision that Joseph had of his brothers and parents, and the promise that God made to the Serpent and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The Sign shows a dragon waiting to consume the child about to be born out of the womb of the Woman. As explained in the Cosmic Crossroad Countdown Trilogy this child is both Jesus Christ and the present-day Church. Nine of these 12 lights that adorn the head of the Woman represent the Constellation Leo. Leo the Lion is the starry symbol for the Lion of Judah which is Jesus Christ or the “seed” of the Woman. The brightest of the 9 stars is Regulus which means Royalty. Regulus also has an important connection to the Bethlehem Star as explained in the detailed video at the website: Bethlehemstar.com. In the Virgo constellation is the star named Spica which means Seed.  Above Virgo and Leo is the constellation Drago the Dragon which awaits the birth of the Seed of the Woman.

The other 3 lights pointing to the Sign are wandering lights that move into place at the precise time of the Sign. Amazingly they align themselves perfectly with the bright star Regulus which represents the heart of Leo or the Lion of Judah. The three lights are Mars meaning “Man,” Mercury meaning “Messenger,” and Venus “The Morning Star” which is a title given to Jesus Christ. Each of these including Regulus, meaning Royal, points to the divine Character of Jesus Christ. It is as if God purposefully put an exclamation point or arrow on the Sign to get our attention. Another more amazing feature is the conjunction of the largest planet Jupiter (which protects the earth from asteroids) with Venus as they move together for 400 days across the solar system announcing to the Universe the Return of the King. Together they enter the womb of Virgo, Venus departs, and Jupiter goes into retrograde motion and stays within the womb of Virgo for just over 9 months. As the Sign reaches completion Venus comes into alignment with Mars and Mercury, the moon moves to the feet and the sun rises to Virgo’s shoulder. This makes the Great Sign of the Woman God’s miracle Sign of Revelation 12. Never in history, as revealed by NASA star maps, has this ever happened nor will it ever happen again.

Because the Sign of the Woman points to the future this child must have a connection to not only Jesus Christ but also to the future Church. This is common in Biblical prophecy as many prophetic passages and verses span thousands of years including paragraphs in Chapters 9 and 42 in Isaiah. Isaiah Chapter 42:6-7, transcends thousands of years: “I will take hold of your hand, I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light to the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind…” The “you” address the Jew in Isaiah’s time during their upcoming captivity, but also to the time of Jesus and through to our time as Jews turn to Jesus and become part of the Church. The Church is in Christ and Jesus is in the heart of each Christian. Likewise, the Word tells us Jesus was born a Jew, a member of the tribe of Judah, one of the 12 tribes of the nation of Israel. The 12 stars or lights that adorn the head of the Woman would therefore suggest that the Woman represents the nation of Israel. She, the nation of Israel, births the child Jesus who births the Church through the Holy Spirit in 32-33 AD, and both Israel and the Church are protected by Leo the Lion of Judah which is Jesus Christ. The Lights around the head of “Israel” may also suggest that God has given Israel a special dispensation with greater divine understanding of God’s creation. We have seen that Jews have won over 20% of all Nobel prizes and have turned a small desert nation into a powerhouse economy and great military force. This halo also reminds us that Israel is still important to Prophecy.

Leo is the last constellation in the Mazzaroth or the Jewish version of the Astrological Chart. This is important for this series of Divine Signs was given to Adam and Eve by God as they walked in the Garden and tells the story from the beginning of time to the End of History. The first Astrological Sign is Virgo represented by the Great Sign of the Woman and which has the bright star Spica meaning “Seed.” This reminds us of the Promise God made to the Serpent (who represents Satan or the Dragon) in the Garden of Eden, Genesis 3:15: “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he will crush your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” This consummate battle was fought on the Cross and will culminate when the “seed of the Woman” Jesus Christ defeats the forces of the Anti-Christ and casts him, the False Prophet, and Satan into the Lake of Fire forever. Hence, we see a supernatural connection between the beginning and end of the Bible with the book of Daniel giving more details.

The Sign of Revelation 12 presents the timeless conflict between the Woman Virgo, the Dragon Satan, and the Divine Victor or Lion of Judah which is Jesus Christ. It is a Stary Billboard declaring the soon-to-come event of the Ages. The Sign ties the nation of Israel to the birth of Jesus Christ and to the Church in another way. The Sign reflects Joseph’s dream of the 12 brothers, his mother Rachel and his father Jacob. They all bow down to him, a picture of the eventual deliverance of the nation of Israel when they recognize that Jesus Christ is the Messiah.  When Jesus was born, He was under the threat of Herod who wanted him killed. However, Jesus was never truly vulnerable since He had thousands upon thousands of Angels looking over him and his family. Likewise, when Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, He was not vulnerable in His Glorified body. Thus, the verse in Revelation 12 that uses the word “Rapturo” is not referring to Jesus Christ but to the rapture of the Church. Jesus Christ was not raptured and so this entire passage like many prophetic messages has a dual meaning representing more than the birth of Jesus Christ. It also points to the Church which was birthed through Jesus and has been and will be under the threat of Satan up to the rapture. This is further explained in Chapters 9 and 12 of the Book of Daniel which speaks of the Abomination of Desolation. There are other mysteries to the Sign and the next one is the biggest.

As explained in each of the Cosmic Crossroad Countdown books God says “And there Appeared a Great Sign” suggesting that as a GREAT Sign it would be easy to see. However, the great mystery of the Sign is that even though people wanted to see it, no one has a photo of it. The Sign was invisible for you could not see the stars nor the moon in the daylight. In fact, the author has not found anyone who claims to have seen the complete sign. To be visible the sun had to be low on the horizon because its glare would blind the viewer. The second the sun reached the “shoulder” of the woman the glare was too intense for people to see anything. And being so low on America’s horizon objects, clouds, and smog blocked the view. God knew that this would happen, but He also knew that our astronomers could see it through telescopes. This is much like the scenario with the Bethlehem Star. Ancient astronomers saw it, but the Jews missed it.  Therefore, we can conclude that the message of the Sign was threefold: 1) That being invisible it warns of spiritual blindness in our society as it failed to connect the sign to the Prophecy in Revelation 12.  People were eager to believe the lie but paid little attention to the Truth and warnings in God’s Word; 2) That it points to an invisible attack on the world affecting every layer and sector of society, which was Covid-19;  3) And as part of this invisible attack there would also be a supernatural agent upending society worldwide. This is evidenced by a widespread increase in what God describes as rebellion in Romans Chapter 1 and as lawlessness in Jesus’ discourse on the Mount of Olives.  Since September 23, 2017, the date of the Sign, we have seen widespread increases in suicides, national corruption, mass murders, malicious destruction, lawless intimidation, and perversion sanctified by an immoral society.

Another aspect of supernatural blindness is society’s inability to comprehend the warnings given in the 2017 Cosmic Crossroad Countdown book. These warnings came true. Jesus warned “you see without seeing and hear without hearing” as He quoted the Prophets who spoke it before the destruction of Jerusalem.  Revelation 12 explains that Michael and his angels will defeat Satan and his angels and will cast them from heaven. Jesus states on the Mount of Olives that right after the Abomination of Desolation, Satan and the Anti-Christ will threaten Israel, “the Woman,” forcing her to flee Jerusalem into the Wilderness for 3 and one-half years where Bosra and Petra lie in the State of Jordan.  This is stated in both Revelation 12 and Daniel 12. Therefore, it makes sense that Satan is cast from heaven before the Abomination of Desolation occurs. This may be one important reason why God gives us the Sign of Revelation 12 as a warning. It could be the start of the countdown to the Abomination. Later we will see how the Essene calendar fits in. The further we move along God’s timetable to the Abomination of Desolation the more we see and hear lies permeating society. Is it because Satan is preparing the stage for the Anti-Christ? The highlight of this fall from Truth occurs when Satan and his angels are cast down to earth to help the Anti-Christ and the False Prophet mastermind and carry out their takeover of the One-world system.

A large part of today’s Church has gradually fallen in bed with the Lie. More than half of Christian churches teach or allow for the theory of evolution to explain the creation of the Universe. The theory of Evolution is accepted in many Christian circles even though every book in the Bible except the book of Ruth teaches that God is the Creator! More than half the church is not looking forward to a literal millennium and the return of Jesus to rapture in his church. They believe that the church will build the kingdom and that Israel has lost its blessings due to disobedience. Therefore, they believe the Church will receive the Promises and Israel plays no part in prophecy. It is apparent that this Church has not taken God’s Word literally and is not the Church of Philadelphia described in Revelation. It is more like the Church of Laodicea, a church that says, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing” (3:17). But Jesus responds that it is lukewarm and “is wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked” (3:17).

Here are clear verses that support the fact that God will keep His promise to Israel. God said that he would gather his people from nations around the world and bring them back to the Promised land. He said that the nation would come alive like dry bones putting on flesh, Ezekiel 37:21, “Then say to them, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land.” Amos 9:14-15, “I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted out of the land that I have given them,” says the Lord your God. In Ezekiel 37:11-12, God said to Ezekiel, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are indeed cut off.’ Therefore prophesy, and say to them, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your graves and raise you from your graves, O my people. And I will bring you into the land of Israel.” Isaiah 11:12, states, “He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the banished of Israel and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.” These are just a few of the verses that define God’s permanent intention for the nation of Israel. If He cannot keep that promise, how can we be certain that He will keep any promise to us? But the promise was kept and continues to be fulfilled as the nation was born in 1948. Israel is the most powerful power in the region and is very productive. The proper interpretation of God’s Word is key to understanding and having the power of His Word in your life.

Another big problem with the interpretation of God’s Word and prophecy is explained using good hermeneutics. One must consider the context of the whole scripture, especially verses connecting the same thought. This would also have to include the history at the time and the culture when the event happens. God knows past, present, and future, so a solar eclipse in Jerusalem in the time of Jesus would be a wonder but not so much in our time. Recently a major prophecy “expert” declared in a sermon on YouTube that Joel 2:31 just refers to a solar and lunar eclipse. Yet the verse prior states, “I will show you wonders in the heavens and on earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” The context seems to imply that “blood and fire” cause the dark sun and blood moon. It appears that God wants us to know that this is an event occurring on earth that will affect the appearance of those heavenly lights. The next verse implies that it is a catastrophic event for it states, “And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.” This event may coincide with the blood moon and sackcloth sun in Revelation 6:12 implying that the Day of the Lord happens as the leaders of the world hide in caves. They hide and call out to God during a great earthquake and “the stars in the sky fell to earth… and the sky receded like a scroll and every mountain and island was moved out of their place.” Further examples of good hermeneutics are illustrated in the first 3 books.

We know that Satan aims to confuse us and that he will use counterfeits as he did with the Great Sign. The world was distracted by lies coming from a dark element that claimed God’s Great Sign pointed to the destruction of the earth by Planet X or Nibiru.  To this day some pastors link the Sign to this lie. Satan succeeded because pastors failed to support the Biblical veracity of God’s Sign. They have also failed to defend Creationism and contend with the failed theories of evolution.  Likewise, certain governments like Russia and China are successfully lying to their people so that they can destroy the lives of countless people around the world. Russia’s criminality will lead to the starvation of millions in Africa and elsewhere, and China’s actions are a crime against humanity.

In America a large criminal element is being released on society by liberal prosecutors and a liberal bail system. Open borders also invite criminal trafficking of people and drugs.  Designer drugs made in China like fentanyl are killing thousands. The Political machine then uses the crimes committed by these evil elements to force legislation against the purchase or use of weapons. Instead of defeating the sources of crime they are trying to disarm a victimized society. Are certain leaders allowing China access to our oil and other products due to secret deals made in the Obama years? Could these powerbrokers be trying to disarm the world so that a One-World system of government can take control? Their purpose is to wipe out nationalism, the small business, Christian influence, and Israel. Good is being turned to evil and evil to good.  All of this has happened since the Sign appeared and is connected to the invisible attack discussed earlier.  As explained in the first book the Sign itself was a warning of an invisible attack that would affect every level and sector of society. Some of these attacks came in the form of the pandemic and the circumstances that have evolved due to the panic caused by the pandemic: this includes ballot harvesting and other invisible measures to affect the vote in America’s last election which then inspired Putin to attack Ukraine.  This Russian invasion is now affecting food and oil supplies around the world and will probably lead to massive starvation in places like Africa.  This and the invisible war are escalating a path to the 7-year Tribulation.

o.h we depend on signs?  Signs tell us how fast we can drive, where to eat, how far to go, where we live, or when our plane arrives. Frankly, we take signs for granted.  In ancient times there were few man-made signs, so many people depended on the stars, moon, sun, and shadows to tell them when, where or how to navigate distances and time.  This may be the reason why people have failed to comprehend one of the biggest signs to ever appear in our universe.  It involved planets, stars, the sun moon, and stars and even a comet.

God is warning us…

The movements of these heavenly bodies were linked to events on earth over a span of 3-and one-half years.  Each event had significant meaning.  For instance, a blood moon on the feast of Passover has a significant meaning when it is connected to 3 other blood moons within a 24-month period that also landed on special Holy days.  Would it be significant to realize that the destruction of the Baal temple in Palmyra happened at the point where Jupiter and Venus began a 400-day journey together and entered the constellation Virgo?  Probably not since few observe the stars much less planets and even fewer could care less about the meaning of constellations.  But what if Jupiter stayed in the “womb” of Virgo for 9.5 months in retrograde motion, and Venus moved into alignment with Mars and Mercury to form a perfect arrow pointed at the star Regulus or royalty at the heart of the constellation Leo.   Would that speak to your curiosity?

There was a time when constellations were extremely important.  The Big Dipper for instance pointed out the North Star which allowed the nighttime navigator sail in the right direction.  The constellations told the story of Creation with Virgo, the Virgin Eve, leading the way and Leo the Lion closing out the epic event, retelling the story of Gen. 3:15 where the dragon is defeated by the Lion of Judah.  Some students of Egyptology suggest that ancient priests believed there was a special portal into the underworld at the point where Virgo and Leo joined.  Ancient Egyptians may have thought that the sun, moon, and stars in a certain pattern provided a pathway to the supernatural and to the “Field of Reeds” where the god of the afterlife, Osiris, ruled. That may be why the Sphinx had the head of the Virgin and the body of a Lion.

There is more to the great sign mentioned above involving both unique events on earth and historical markers that go all the way to the beginning of time.  These markers and prophecies spoken by the prophets of old bring planetary signs into proper perspective.  One simple event in history marks the way we measure time throughout all the centuries.  It happened under a bright “heavenly body” that lit up the sky.   This Light was the Bethlehem Star and it was noticed by stargazers from the East.  It was so distinctive that these kings traveled hundreds of miles through hostile lands to seek its source and meaning.  This might be called the “Ultimate Sign.”  But what if I told you that a recent heavenly sign was called a “Great Sign” (Rev. 12:1) for it also announces the arrival of supernatural and natural events to come.

What if I told you that our recent sign, The Great Sign of Revelation 12, is more important than any other sign of our time. It is of greater importance because it will affect our lives. Jesus warned the Pharisees that they were oblivious to the Signs of their time. This Sign could be God’s centerpiece sign for our time -as it is in the very center of the Book of Revelation- even though it is outside the chronological time sequence of all the other chapters. The Sign begins its focus on events that happened 3 1/2 years before the Sign of the Woman appeared. This shadow began at the first of 4 Blood Moons at the Passover of April, 2014 and initiated a sequence of events related to the rise of ISIS. This first 3 1/2 years ended on September 23, 2017 at the end of the Jubilee and the Beginning of the Feast of Trumpets.  It acts as shadow of warning and testing like the Valley of the SHADOW of death in the 23rd Psalm. This connects the physical world to God’s promise.

The 2nd half or the next 3 1/2 years began with the ending of the Great Sign on Sept. 23rd, 2017, and with the Trumpets being blown  with the beginning of a new Jubilee. This begins a new 3 1/2 year-period where invisible agents have disrupted and upturned society (the Sign itself is a forewarning of attacks by the invisible world —-as explained in the book Cosmic Crossroad. This invisible world connects the natural to the supernatural world (read Rev. 1:6-12 about Satan and his angels). Note the word “THEN” after the Sign ties this Sign to Satan and his angels as they are cast from and heaven and ravage our world and our society. Both Covid-19 and Satans minions are invisible attackers causing major disruptions during this period of divine testing and purification.

This sequence of two 3 1/2 two periods is all a shadow of the 7-year Seal to Bowl  judgment to come that surrounds the Sign of Revelation 12 in the Book of Revelation! This is the 70th week of Daniel which the church will most likely not go through.  Yet God in his LOVE is trying to strengthen the Church and bring new believers in during this 7-year fore-shadow This second 3 1/2 year period started innocently with a booming economy but underneath we saw an attempt by our own security and legistative branches to overthrow God’s chosen man to lead America. America and specifically Trump would be the agency to release Jerusalem from the lies of the enemy and would give the nation of Israel legitimate legal rights to its ownership. LIES are a very serious offense to God and these LIES have risen to incredible heights to the point that most of our media is directly involved in propaganda against the church, Israel, and God’s chosen leaders for administration of His directives and Plan.

As suggested Signs will not mean much to those who do not care nor know their Biblical connection. It would be like you or I seeing a sign written in a foreign alphabet.  That ignorance, however, does not mean that it will not affect us.  If you miss a stop sign you may suffer severe consequences.  Important signs require interpretation and an easy to understand sign may seem very insignificant.  Simple signs or less visible signs might be ignored.  And some signs can have different meanings to each observer. The rainbow is a sign that water vapor is in the air but according to the Bible it is also a sign from God of His Covenant never to flood the earth again.  If the Bible calls a sign, a “Great Sign” then it must be important.

Many have heard the powerful story about a prostitute, her faith, and the sign she would leave to save herself and her family.  The sign she used to alert her savior-spies and Joshua’s army at Jericho, was a scarlet threaded rope hung from the window on the wall.  The sign used by the LORD’s army was to march around the city one time for 6 days; then on the 7^th day they marched around 7 times and blew their trumpets.  God used specific numbers to outline the divine sign giving it both a set time and a set series of events.  He used her sign to remind us that divine grace runs like a scarlet thread throughout “His story” tying His Promise to great events and people throughout history.  Read the lineage of Christ in Mat. 1:5, you will see Rahab’s name.

Rahab’s life story will illustrate how compassionate and full of grace God is.  After all she was born a Canaanite and was the owner of a “house of prostitution.”  Her status would put her at the very bottom of the moral and social totem pole.  Since the God of Israel had commanded that all Canaanites be killed, she surely would have died.  Yet God not only preserved her, he raised her up as an example of faith.  She is mentioned in the hall of Faith with Moses and Abraham.  Many have judged her faith as being greater than that of the early Jewish nation.  Her faith and the promise of grace are like threads of hope and mercy woven throughout the Word of God and fulfilled in Jesus Christ.  This book expands on this scarlet thread of Prophecy, History, and Redemption.  God is seeking out those who love Him and giving them Truth.  Go to- ToGodBtheGlory.org for more information and related post: What’s Happening: The Approaching Completion.
