WatchMan

If I could I would yell from the rooftops like the watchman on the wall – for the Church to wake up — the tidal wave is coming. God is trying to get your attention yet you are focused on agendas, old worn-out theology, bad thinking, and protecting your turf. When will pastors take a long look at the warnings, reevaluate their prejudices and myopic insight, and see the Truth declared in His Word. As the last post showed many Jews in ancient times understood that there was and is a deeper truth beyond the declared truth in the Torah or in God’s Word. I have given many examples in past posts and will give another good example related to one of the most revered passages in the New Testament.

Now understand that God created the heavens and He inspired the Great Prophet Daniel to write down what he had been shown. His scrolls were kept with him in Persia where he died. As a student at the American School in Teheran, Iran I was able to visit his tomb and had my first spiritual experience on those grounds. Here is what God says, “Behold Wise men from the East came to Jerusalem saying, ‘where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the East and are come to worship him.’ And when Herod heard this he was troubled and all of Jerusalem with him. ” Travelers in those days knew what a “Star” was and they came in two forms stationary stars and “wandering stars” or planets. So what is “his star.” They understood the significance of the “bright morning star” which was Venus and which moved in a steady pattern through the heavens. Jesus Christ called himself the Bright Morning Star in Revelation 22:16, “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star” BUT over and over again pastors and scholars overlook the Book of Revelation, especially those in the cults and who are Covenant theologians–for the book of Revelation sinks their Eschatology and their false understanding of who Jesus Christ is. Note This: here is another reason why Isaiah 14 is not talking about Satan when the main character of the passage is thinking of himself as the “morning star” and rising above heaven— but is just a man who will fall —like Nebuchanazar or the King of Tyre.

There are some “influential scholars” who want to define this “star” as the Shechinah Glory which would make NO SENSE and would be an obvious break in the complete storyline! We know what the Shechinah Glory was and how it led the nation of Israel throughout the Wilderness Experience. Hence it was visible to the millions of people in that deliverance. There is NO EVIDENCE given in the WORD of GOD of this appearance to the masses of people—so why do we hear such absurd ideas? And why are they allowed to spread? I believe it is because a lot of MONEY is being used to distract us and generate smoke screens that are keeping the Truth of Prophecy from people! Besides the moon, and regular stars, Venus would aid many of the nomadic people and travelers crisscrossing the long East-West deserts throughout the Middle East in the cool of the night. Star watchers also knew that Jupiter made surprising appearances that would act as an exclamation point – for it could do a series of retrograde moves around certain stars or constellations. If these retrograde moves would move back and forth in a key constellation or around a key star- that would draw the attention of these “Wise men” who used the Stars to both navigate and understand the scrolls that Daniel wrote. One of those key stars is Regulus which is at the Heart of Leo so when the Kingly wandering star, Jupiter, did an amazing retrograde motion around Regulus — it caught the attention of these wise men.

These were NOT dumb people and they knew the difference between a star and a comet—so NO COMET IS MENTIONED! Hence why have we not studied the Star Maps in order to see what stars might have “moved” at certain times around significant constellations or special stars? A special star would be one that Has Been Named By God to connect with His Promise in Genesis 3:15. Two Constellations fit this script: Virgo (the Virgin- Eve who God addresses in the Garden as He curses the Serpent). And Leo or the Lion which we know as the Lion of Judah- is the “hero-King” that will defeat the Serpent. This 1st promise or prophecy is KEY to the Lord’s return for it speaks of the Anointed One or King who will “crush the head of the seed of the Serpent.” This Anointed One will be the King of the Jews.

Hence a special movement of a wandering Star like Jupiter around Leo would draw special attention, especially around its heart. And this is what happened in 3-2 B.C. (recognized as the time of the birth of Jesus) – the retrograde motion lasted for months as the Wise men observed in the East then prepared for the trip…and sought further direction in Jerusalem. THEY might have also noticed the “scepter that shall rise out of Israel.” Note Num. 24:17- “I see him but not now, I behold him but not nigh: There shall come forth a star out of Jacob, a scepter shall rise out of Israel (an alignment of stars in the shape of a scepter formed during the 3-2 BC period).” All of the date details are mentioned in an exciting depiction on the website: https://bethlehemstar.com/.

Once the wise men left Jerusalem they observed Venus move directly in front of them as it guided them to Bethlehem. After Herod told the wise men where or what city the prophets said that the Messiah would be born in, these “kings of the East, the Word states,” “And they having heard the king went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the East (Venus) went before them, til it came and stood before where the young child was.”

Note that Mary and Joseph stayed in Bethlehem almost up to the age of 2 partially because they had been unwed when they were “with child.” They wanted the anonymity that Bethlehem offered them. Then the angel told them to flee to Egypt- to protect them from Herod and again to fulfill prophecy (for as in the case of the nation– He would come out of Egypt). This also links Jesus Christ and His Return to the rebirth of the Nation of Israel in 1947-48. All this is tied together in the book Cosmic Crossroad Countdown: the Fig Tree and the Prophetic Generation—which ties all these factors together including the books of Daniel, Genesis & the book of Revelation. All the insights the Lord gave me in that book came true and now a follow-up book is being offered to you. The Lord motivated me to give away about 700 of the first book for free and you can get a copy from our ministry at White Rock Lake in Dallas near the intersection of West Lawther and Chapel Hill Road at 2-5 on Sunday afternoons. We have given away free books and prayed for people there for over 11 years now– it will soon be 12 years. Our ministry is called Answers on the Rock and The Lord has helped us bring the lost to Him, educating many in apologetics, and with the Holy Spirit teaching us as we share and surrender.

WHAT IS IMPORTANT ABOUT ALL THIS IS THAT THE PASTORS OR LEADERS THAT WE HAVE ENTRUSTED RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE FAILED TO RELATE THESE FACTS TO ITS MEMBERS WHO WOULD THEN UNDERSTAND THAT GOD MIGHT USE THE SAME METHOD TO WARN ABOUT HIS 2ND COMING AS ILLUSTRATED IN THE KEY PASSAGE IN REVELATION 12 THAT IS CALLED THE “GREAT SIGN OF REVELATION 12.” This has probably happened because of the same problem that the Pharisees had which is “shortsightedness.” They were not taught this and never did put much thought into God’s Signs and in His Creation being key to understanding Prophecy. They were into the LAW and enforcing it as a means of righteousness. Another good example is that most pastoral students have NOT been taught apologetics and how to defend the faith against the cults, falsehoods such as evolution, and weak theology that does not meet the standard of time—example is the concept that Mt. Sinai is in Egypt—which goes against our knowledge of geography, geologic formations, military logic, and sociological studies among nomadic groups who know that the Mountain of the Law is in Saudi Arabia. Why are the seminaries allowing disinformation or deception to persist and spread? Those professors WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY GOD.

We also know from “deeper understandings in the Torah” that God would NOT have sent a fleeing Moses back into Egypt (which means confinement) as is the Catholic view of where Mt. Sinai is in southern Egypt. No Moses fled to Midian where the Midianite priest Jethro was located—and he did not herd his sheep in Egypt which would have been over 400 miles away around the Red Sea! So why do most pastors, and your Bible still show Mt. Sinai as being in Egypt? YOU should start asking questions and demanding answers because the Time is at Hand and you are being misled. This is the same accusation that God made concerning the smartest most disciplined leaders in His time, the Pharisees. God wants each of you to think for yourselves in prayer—which means He wants you to listen to Him and read His Word.
