New Moon  01/13/39/120

Dear Friends.

This is the New Moon of the intercalary month of the Temple Calendar termed “We Adar” or “and Adar” which is Adar II in the Ancient Temple Calendar.  The Babylonians and Kabbalist Jews intercalated last year in 2016 and consequently they were a month late in everything they did. In addition through their postponements in the Jewish Hillel Calendar issued in 358 CE and corrected in the Twelfth Century by Maimonides they rarely if ever keep a Holy Day on the correct days and at least six times in a cycle they are not even in the correct months (see  God's Calendar (No. 156); The Sabbath and the Lunar Cycle (No. 156B); The Origin and Basis of the Karaite Division (No. 156C); God’s Calendar, Temple Worship and the Books of Enoch and Jubilees (No. 156D); The Calendar and the Moon: Postponements or Festivals? (No. 195); Distortion of God's Calendar in Judah (No. 195B); Hillel, Babylonian Intercalations and the Temple Calendar (No. 195C); The Four Fasts of Judah (No. 195D)).

The reality is that when the Witnesses get here they will deal with the Calendar issues and immediately begin to strike the Kabbalist Rabbinical system and their traditions down and destroy the false priesthood. They will also strike the Armstrongite Ministry down for their heresy along with the Judaisers everywhere.

That however, will not occur until the Trumpets have begun to spread around the world.  These are contained in the paper The Seven Trumpets (No. 141).

The structure of the Seventh Seal
The Seventh Seal was opened at the beginning of the Wars of the End. (See the paper The Seven Seals (No. 140).)

Previously we went through the concepts of the Great Tribulation and the heavenly signs and the sealing of the 144,000. We then went to the concept of silence in Heaven for half an hour. This silence is a watershed. We are sealed. It introduces the activities or processes leading up to the coming of the Messiah. Through the heavenly signs, everyone on the earth knows that the Messiah is coming. Once the heavenly signs occur people are made aware of the heavenly activity. These kings and generals are then all saying:“hide us from the wrath of the one who is to come”. Messiah is to come, but he is not there yet. It is obvious from the heavenly signs that most people, including the leaders of the planet, know that Messiah is coming. They all know something is going to happen.

In this period of the Last Days the final Mysteries of God are given firstly in the final prophecies of Dan-Ephraim coming from the final group listed as Joseph as detailed by God through Jeremiah 4:15-16 as Dan-Ephraim warning of the coming of the Messiah and the besiegers that come against the cities of Judah  and as the Warning of the Last Days (No. 044) and then to follow with the Two Witnesses  (No. 135). Then we hear the Seven Thunders revealed:
Revelation 10:1-7 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land, 3 and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring; when he called out, the seven thunders sounded. 4 And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down." 5 And the angel whom I saw standing on sea and land lifted up his right hand to heaven 6 and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there should be no more delay, 7 but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God, as he announced to his servants the prophets, should be fulfilled.

The seven thunders have a portion of a message, which will occur in the Last or Philadelphian Church of God (see Pillars of Philadelphia (No. 283)) and then later in the days of the Witnesses, i.e. in the Last Days. At the end of this time the final Mystery of God will be revealed. The 1,260 days finish, and the droughts and plagues are temporarily at an end but only for four days.

The Mystery of God is only fulfilled, completed and understood fully in the Seventh Trumpet. When the sealing of the 144,000 is completed this final mystery begins to be revealed. When that takes place and God pours out His Holy Spirit on the elect, we reveal the Mysteries of God, and then they will be fulfilled.

The 144,000 are sealed as the earth is commenced to be harmed. The Measuring of the Temple began in 1987 ten years before the end of the Time of the Gentiles. We are seeing this happen now (see the paper Measuring the Temple (No. 137)).

We have to look at the whole process of each of the trumpets. We go through a sequence of actions that cripple part of the earth. When we look at the trumpets they deal generally with thirds. There is a third sequence taken because the rebellion involved a third of the Host. Everything is done for a reason and everything is done in spiritual symbolism.

Revelation 8:7-13  The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, which fell on the earth; and a third of the earth was burnt up, and a third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
Note the sequence of the damage to the earth in fire and hail and the contamination we see as blood. This is happening now also in the droughts and the fires and the algal blooms and the contamination of drinking water. This contamination is then followed by the contamination of the seas to a third of their extent. The star wormwood was actually commenced at Chernobyl which means Wormwood. This accelerated to the catastrophe also in the USA and then to Fukushima and the contamination of the Pacific Ocean by radiation.  This will continue now to escalate to further damage.  We are looking at the destruction also by heavenly means; this could be meteors etc., and all sorts of other things such as physical catastrophes that burn up a third of the planet, trees and all the grass. We are looking, then, at general famine arising from drought. This sequence then goes on.
8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea; 9 and a third of the sea became blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

Note that these contaminations are also destroying the ships, and they also are contaminated by radioactivity and tsunamis and that will continue and increase. The solar activity will increase temperatures over and above their normal thousand year cycles (see the paper Global Warming-Historical Cycles (No. 218B)).  The temperature will increase to the Angel of the Fourth Vial of the Wrath of God at the return of the Messiah below.

The mountain falling into the sea presents a number of options in terms of this Second Trumpet. We are probably dealing with each of these things by doing the same thing that Moses did in Egypt. Moses rammed the gods of Egypt back down the throats of the Egyptians. In the same way, all of these things ram the gods of this planet back down the necks of the people we are dealing with, as well as the religious structure and concepts and values of this planet. This whole structure of the trees, grass and the First Trumpet will deal in part with the New Age movement and the preoccupation with animism – the concepts of worshipping trees and spirits. The religion of the New Age is becoming a monist structure, which is essentially animist. They believe there are spirits in everything. Also the final Beast power will see an amalgam of the Papacy and Islam in a last ditch attempt to rescue the power of the Religious Whore with the Beast (No. 299B). 

The Globalist Marxist system is trying to use the concept of Global Warming to get rid of the capitalist elements of Globalism, and the conflict between the West and democracy and the Marxist Globalist system using Islam is designed to eliminate democracy and establish the UN as the One World Government enabling World Communism under China as the Central Communist system. This conflict will lead to war.

The concept of the seas struck then follows the mountain being thrown into the sea. Animism extends into Shintoism, which is from Japan. Their most sacred mountain is Fujiyama, a volcano. The earthquake activity that throws a mountain – for example, Fujiyama – into the sea appears to be God dealing with the concept of Shintoism and other Eastern religions. The earthquake activity in Japan has nuclear reactors above known earthquake zones and the Pacific will be destroyed by these increases in tremor inducement.

By literally picking up volcanos and throwing them into the sea, and destroying islands, we also have massive movements of the earth’s crust. Part of these massive movements was engendered by Russians, Chinese and Americans conducting underground nuclear explosions on a systematic basis and destabilising the earth’s crust. Subsequent earthquakes were part of deliberate trigger mechanisms fired underground. The Chinese set the last lot in motion because their bid for the 2000 Olympic Games wasn’t successful. The nuclear explosions in 1995 caused a furore over France, but China is hardly mentioned. Why? Because nobody can influence China. China is more dangerous than France. However, both will participate in the violence of the wars of the end.

The people are perverted with mindsets that are open to Satan. All we can do is be aware of what is happening. These people are being used to destroy this planet. The trigger mechanisms being deployed are destabilising the crust and there will be a series of earthquakes that will be of great significance. The great earthquake that occurs in the heavenly signs will be the greatest earthquake the world has ever seen. This triggers the following sequences within the prophecy. That will have something to do with the movement and destabilising of the mountains; but also the tectonic plates on the planet cannot stand that sort of destabilisation, and the San Andreas Fault and those north of that to Vancouver are all ready to go.

There are earthquakes all over the planet, but the biggest one we have ever seen will occur in this heavenly sign and will destroy vast numbers of living organisms, people and animals and destabilise the seas. The last earthquake will be even greater.

That earthquake activity will also release heavy metals into the seas from the mantle. Those heavy metals will be taken up into the food chain, into the dino-flagellates, and there will be great red tides. The great red tide problem will be exacerbated also by the fact that massive quantities of nuclear waste are being dumped into the Arctic and Japanese seas and in the north-eastern seas by the Russians en masse. The nuclear waste put out there is frightening. Much of the northern hemisphere will die. This last episode in Fukushima was just part of it. Chernobyl means wormwood and it has a devastating effect and there are more happening now. There is mysterious radioactive material in Europe.   Scientists have discovered that radioactive iodine-131 has made its way into the atmosphere of several countries in Europe–and at present, no one knows the source of the contamination for sure.

We can say: “Are these people mad; can they not see what they are doing?” Yes, they can see what they are doing. However, they are locked into paradigms and thought processes, and they will not alter their way of life.

America (and the West generally) consumes enormous quantities of the world’s energy. In order to lift India up to the standard of living of America, it would need to consume 110% of the total world energy production. So, clearly, the American way of life is unsustainable unless we increase energy production and that must be done from various sources including renewables. The UN is trying to establish a Global Warming energy fraud and use that in the move towards a One World Government under its Agenda 2030 to do away with Capitalism and establish a Globalist Marxist state and that conflicts with the Globalist Capitalist state.  We will see conflict in the world’s systems and the demise of the EU as a Bureaucracy based on Brussels. War will tear the EU apart between these two forces.
 
Before the Feast of Tabernacles in 1994, the Sydney Morning Herald said that the Russians cased a sunken Russian submarine in super glue, which was going to last 500 years. They can push it off for 500 years; however, the radioactive half-life of the plutonium is 25,000 years. This plutonium was due to leak in to the northern oceans in 1995, or at the very latest the year after. Plutonium waste from a sunken submarine going into the sea will trigger off vast destruction in the oceans. The stages are set. Nobody put a nuclear submarine together and stuck it in the bottom of the sea other than through the greed, avarice and viciousness of the people who built the thing. They are destroying their own environment.  The disasters are compounding. Japan is now adding to the crisis and so is the US nuclear industry.

10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the fountains of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died of the water, because it was made bitter.
As stated, the name wormwood in Russian is Chernobyl. They built nuclear reactors out of substandard materials and they didn’t police them because there were no controls and no people to tell them what to do because they were dictators. They have their own wormwood. The star does not need to fall for them; it is already there. That has been encased in concrete and the concrete is breaking down. So they don’t know what to do. The concrete is now radioactive so they are going to get a bigger concrete block to encase it.

The activities of stars are in nuclear systems, and the nuclear facilities around the world will continue now to deteriorate and be misused and progressively destroy the drinking water of the world. It will be by stages into a third as we see here; and then totally under the vials of the wrath of God.

Whether it is an actual star that pollutes the planet or just nuclear fallout is difficult to know. It says a star, so we will take it as meaning this. Certainly it pollutes a third of the waters. The structure of the planet is then diminished and made uninhabitable.

Where do we stop? The system is unsustainable. The sites are unsustainable; but they have to be changed. A third of these seas are going to die. It is not just a slow death. A third of the ships are destroyed because of something else that happens. There are tsunamis associated with this death, and this mountain that is thrown into the sea. Krakatoa is an island in Indonesia. On the island was a volcano that blew up last century with the strength of a number of nuclear weapons. The whole sun and moon darkened. The fallout (dust etc.) covered the earth for months. It went right around the earth. The explosions were heard as far away as the capital cities of Australia. It is a long way from Indonesia to Australia to hear an explosion. This will be a similar thing.

The Olivet prophesies talk about the roaring seas terrifying people. Tsunamis travel at nearly the speed of sound: about 700 mph. The waves reach hundreds of feet in height. With the massive earthquake activity they are going to be up to 1,000 feet high. So, we can expect to get waves 1,000 feet high travelling at 700 mph. Imagine the sheer volume and force that will deal with these nations. This is how a third of the ships are going to be destroyed. The fact is that the ships are also being contaminated by radiation from Fukushima and other areas and the ships themselves become radioactive. The people will be absolutely terrified. Unless we know it’s going to happen and what is behind it all, we would be terrified too. Our problem is not being afraid. Fear is not our problem because we know what is going to happen.

These processes occur because people are destroying the planet on a systematic basis. This will be accelerated in order to deal with them. The Pacific will see most of its fish species destroyed in this radiation.
12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light was darkened; a third of the day was kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.

We are now looking at the explosions causing a general darkening of the earth. There will probably be a secondary factor that is not mentioned here. That is, these activities will accelerate the warming processes on the planet. The earth’s sea levels will rise and islands will be inundated. The concept of the islands fleeing away involves two things:
1. the earth mantle problem.
2. the earth warming process.

Let us look at the levels involved with the seas. The West Antarctic Basin has water as ice below sea level. According to the scientists, there is enough to raise sea levels about 15 feet if that ice melts. This will accelerate the process. Once the Antarctic and the Greenland ice caps go and the oceans increase in temperature, the potential lift is 200 feet – with a possible further 100 feet. People below this height have a very good chance of being under water.

The final heavenly signs under the fourth trumpet will see the earth warned as we then progress to the war of the fifth trumpet. The conditions for the war of the fifth trumpet were laid in place when the chemical and biological weapons of the Cold War were developed from WWII and distributed to the various countries depending on their allegiances. This develops into the great and terrible wars which are the woes of the earth.

What happens then is that a third of the rivers are destroyed as the rivers are inundated. The Mississippi basin, North-west Europe, Thailand, all lowland China, all the Chinese food bowls will be gone. We then put complete pressure on the planet to sustain life. Then vast wars become necessary to relocate peoples in order to get to the remaining food bowls, because the major food bowls will be gone. We see then why we go into the next phase, which is Revelation 8:13. This is the start of the woes.
13 Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice, as it flew in midheaven, "Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets which the three angels are about to blow!" (RSV)

There are three woes. We will go back for the next sequence. We have got the Time of Jacob’s Troubles, and Israel is being dealt with. We have had the great tribulation, and we’ve also got the Witnesses of the Last Days. At this point we turn to Revelation 11:1.

There are two processes.
Revelation 11:1-8 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told: "Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, 2 but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months. 3 And I will grant my two witnesses power to prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."

The Temple is measured from the top (see the paper Measuring the Temple (No. 137)). This is happening and has happened. The ministries are measured. This also has happened. In the time of the 42 months, the elect as the nations are purified. We are still going through the process of the measuring of the elect. That process has taken a while. The elect are given over to deal with each other and that is part of the way we are measured.

After the commencement of that measurement, the Two Witnesses stand in Jerusalem clothed in sackcloth. These people will stand for three-and-one-half years (see also the paper The Witnesses (including the Two Witnesses) (No. 135)).
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if any one would harm them, fire pours out from their mouth and consumes their foes; if any one would harm them, thus he is doomed to be killed. 6 They have power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they desire. 7 And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer them and kill them, 8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified.

Christ was crucified on Golgotha outside of Jerusalem. The Witnesses are calling Jerusalem Sodom and Egypt due to the apostasy in it. The concept here is that they will stand to deal with the power of God. They will speak and people will try to kill them, but those people are dealt with in the same way they deal with the Witnesses. Anyone who tries to shoot them will be shot. The Witnesses are protected, and nobody can kill them for three-and-one-half years; they are indestructible. They can call down fire from Heaven and will do so. They will shut up the heavens and no rain will fall on this planet for three-and-one-half years, except as they dictate. They are at this point turning the seas to blood.

These things are a direct result of these two officers of God thrusting down the throats of the people the entire idolatrous process of this planet. We have already been sealed at this point. We are coming out of the Great Tribulation. Our robes have been made white in the blood of the Lamb, and we will see this happen. During this three-and-one-half-year period we will watch these people and see these things being inflicted on this planet. There is only one thing given to us, and that is that our bread and water will be sure. That is the only thing of which we can be sure. God will feed us with manna. We can ask: “How will we get our bread?” When we fall short of bread, remember God’s promise. Our bread and water will be sure. We will be fed in the same way the Israelites were fed in the wilderness. It is a question of faith. We have to be so sure of what we are doing and what we are talking about because we have to get our people and ourselves through this problem. The Trumpets continue on and grow as the Fifth Trumpet and the Sixth Trumpet develops the other four push on past and through the Witnesses. Thus the wars in Europe develop  and go into the Middle East in accord with Daniel 11:40-45. 

After the massive destruction of those nations to the East and North of Jerusalem, the Northern powers occupy Gaza and Jerusalem.  Then the Witnesses occupy Jerusalem and the wars continue. We will follow on to the activities under the Witnesses.
