Apostles and Elders Organizing the Church

As I look at the approaching date of Sept. 14, 2015 Feast of Trumpets, I find it hard to believe that construction on the 3rd Temple will begin by 2015 as well as the global implementation of the implant to be able to buy and sell. So like many were disappointed by the name of the new Pope not fulfilling the Malchy Prophecy, many Christians will be disturbed by when 2015 rolls around and nothing happens.

The last possible year for the Vatican to be nuked is 2019 since the first half of the 7 years is from 2015 to 2019 (second half is 2019 to 2022), and Rev. 17.16 takes place in the first half . This will be a major mind twist if the prophecy of the Tetrads passes us by uneventful.

What does this mean? Firstly, it tells us that "right at the door" (Matt. 24.33) is more than a lifetime of 70 to 80 years (Ps. 90.10). And if it is longer than a lifetime then it could refer to an indefinite period of time where nobody can know the day of the Lord when it begins, thusly, when the first rapture according to readiness takes place (Luke 21.36, Rev. 3.10).

God is always throwing things for a loop, but we can be confident and comforted His way is always best even though many signs appear to be pointing to specific dates and times with our human reasoning. The next period to look for is 2029 to 2036 surrounding the massive asteroid that comes within satellite distance of the earth.

Though "the impact odds as they stand now are less than one in a million, which makes us comfortable saying we can effectively rule out an Earth impact in 2036,” Don Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office, said in a statement. The office is based at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

But there is one factor that stands out to me more than anything. It is that Rev. 6.12 occurs shortly before the Tribulation. If these 3 events in this verse by all accounts are 2010-2015 then it stands to reason it will not be that many years after for Daniel's final seven to take place lasting 7 years.

Therefore, we can conclude at the absolute outside the Tribulation must begin by the end of this decade even though that seems quite unreasonable because it ought to be linked to the Tetrads and within a lifetime from 1948.

The data suggests that the Tribulation should start Sept. 14, 2015 on Feast of Trumpets, but the problem is: (a) the implant under the skin is not widely distributed by then, and (b) 3rd Temple construction won't be completed by 2016 with 2300 days left to the Tribulation.

There is in fact a 7 year preparation before the Tribulation begins. So I see the 2,520 days from 2022 to 2029. Sept. 26 Feast of Trumpets, 2022 to Day of Atonement Sept. 19, 2029 is exactly 2,550 days. 7 years x 360 = 2,520 days. Day of Atonement is 30 days more so 2,550 days. From the 1260th day to the 1290th day Jesus judges the nations.

I got this adjustment of a 7 year preparation period from this site:

The story of Joseph may predict a seven year period of abundance given to prepare for the Tribulation.

Joseph was told that there would be seven years of abundance to prepare Egypt for the seven years of famine that would follow. Genesis 41:25-49. This may be a prophetic type of a seven year period of abundance that will precede the Tribulation as a time for the Church and Israel to prepare. This principal of Divine warning to make preparation for a specified period of tribulation is seen in other Biblical examples:

• Noah was warned to prepare food and enter the ark 7 days before the flood began.
• Rahab was warned 7 days before the battle of Jericho and so made plans to safeguard her family. She was taken out by the two spies after the 7th trumpet on the 7th day.
• Israel was warned to prepare provisions 7 days before they crossed the Jordan to Jericho.
• Elisha warned the Shunamite woman about the 7 year famine that was about to occur.
• Israel was promised abundant crops before the land was rested on the Sabbatical Year.

Events prior to the Lord’s Second Coming
1 Now, dear brothers and sisters, [fn1] let us clarify some things about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and how we will be gathered to meet him. 2 Don’t be so easily shaken or alarmed by those who say that the day of the Lord has already begun. Don’t believe them, even if they claim to have had a spiritual vision, a revelation, or a letter supposedly from us. 3 Don’t be fooled by what they say. For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness [fn2] is revealed—the one who brings destruction. [fn3] 4 He will exalt himself and defy everything that people call god and every object of worship. He will even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God.

5 Don’t you remember that I told you about all this when I was with you? 6 And you know what is holding him back, for he can be revealed only when his time comes. 7 For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the one who is holding it back steps out of the way. 8 Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will kill him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by the splendor of his coming.

9 This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles. 10 He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them. 11 So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies. 12 Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth.

Believers Should Stand Firm
13 As for us, we can’t help but thank God for you, dear brothers and sisters loved by the Lord. We are always thankful that God chose you to be among the first [fn4] to experience salvation—a salvation that came through the Spirit who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth. 14 He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in person and by letter.

16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, 17 comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.


Question 1
What is holding the Antichrist back? (v.6) Satan, obviously, because the opportune time has not presented itself.

Question 2
The spirit of antichrist is already here secretly working. Is God or Satan keeping it a secret? (v.7) Satan, obviously. It is not God's will this be hidden. He wants evil exposed.

Question 3
God is always working so who steps out of the way from exaltation to give glory to the son of destruction? (v.7) Satan of course, because his masterpiece, the son of perdition, will be brought forth.

Question 4
Why is Satan withholding? Because he is waiting for the maximum effect for world destruction. He could have conspired many years ago the destruction of the Vatican with a nuclear bomb, but that is deserved for the 268th Pope according to the Malachy Prophecy within the next couple of years during the first half of the Tribulation 2015-2019.

Question 5
Is the calling in verse 14 irresistibly imposed or is this calling foreknown by God foreknowing our free choice how we would respond? The latter, obviously, since Calvinists don't genuinely give their lives to Christ, but instead pompously and pridefully assume they were irresistibly selected just as Satan's elect do (cf. Hitler's Aryan race in which the Jews were given no opportunity for salvation, but passed over. What love is this?).

Consider what Watchman Nee wrote further about the "one that restraineth".

We should always have in mind that as the servants of God we must not withhold our love in a place until some Christian brethren arrive on the scene. All who hold this misconception—namely, that their love is to be reserved for the brethren only—are unable to do the work of God. Let it be known and unequivocally declared that the love of the brethren comes afterwards, and that it is a totally different proposition.

You need to have a love for the generality of mankind and a compassion towards them. For John 3.16 makes plain that "God so loved the world." What is "the world" here? It refers to all the people in the world, including the unsaved and ignorant. Those whom God loves are the people of the entire world. He loves every one on the earth. If you are not interested in a person whom God loves, and furthermore, if you will love him only after he becomes a Christian brother, your disposition is quite different from the Lord’s; and therefore, you cannot serve God.

Your heart will need to be expanded to such a degree that you feel that all people are to be loved. As long as this one or that one is a person, you love him. And only then shall you be qualified to serve God. (The Character of God's Workman, pp. 22-23, CFP white cover only.)

The Bible mentions a kind of mortal sin or “sin unto death” which believers may commit (1 John 5.16). The death here does not point to spiritual death, for the eternal life of God can never be extinguished; nor can it be an allusion to “the second death” since the Lord’s sheep cannot perish. It necessarily signifies the death of the body.

Now let us especially notice what the essence of mortal sin is. To do so will enable us to know how to keep ourselves away from it so that (1) our flesh may not be corrupted, (2) we may not forfeit the blessing of being raptured before death, or (3) we may still finish the Lord’s appointed work before our days are fulfilled and we die, if He should tarry and we must pass through the grave. May we say that because of their negligence in this matter quite a few of God’s children have had their years shortened and their crowns lost. Many of God’s workers, had they given attention to this, might yet be serving the Lord.

The Word has not spelled out concretely what this sin is. It only assures us that such a sin is possible. From the Scripture records we understand that this sin varies according to people. A particular sin for some is mortal, yet to another person it may not be a sin unto death, and vice versa. This is because of differences in grace received, light accepted, and position attained among different believers.

While the Bible never identifies this sin, we can nevertheless observe that any sin which results in death constitutes a mortal one. The people of Israel committed such a sin at Kadesh (Num. 13.25-14.12). Although they had tempted the Lord many times before (14.22), He always simply forgave them. But this time, though He still forgave them after they refused to enter Canaan, He additional caused their bodies to fall in death in the wilderness (14.32).

At the waters of Meribah Moses was provoked to speak “words that were rash” (Ps. 106.33) : this was his “mortal sin”: he died outside Canaan. Aaron committed the same offense as Moses and he likewise was forbidden to enter the holy land (Num. 20.24). The man of God who journeyed from Judah to Bethel disobeyed the commandment of the Lord with regard to eating and drinking; in so doing he committed his mortal sin (1 Kings 13.21-22). In the New Testament we learn how Ananias and Sapphira were punished with death because they committed what for them was their mortal sin, because they attempted to lie to the Holy Spirit by keeping back part of the proceeds from their land (Acts 5). The man in Corinth who lived with his father’s wife was guilty too of this kind of sin, forcing the Apostle Paul to pronounce judgment by telling those at Corinth “to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh” (1 Cor. 5.5). Not a few of the brethren in Corinth died because they were guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord (1 Cor. 11.27,30). They had committed the sin unto death.

To overcome mortality we must persistently overcome sin, for the former results from the latter. If we wish to live till our days are accomplished or till the Lord returns, we should be careful not to sin. Negligence in this has driven many to the grave prematurely. The mortal sin is not any particular terrifying transgression, because it is nowhere fixed or specified. Such a sin as fornication, of which the Corinthians were guilty, may be counted as mortal; but so too may rash words such as Moses uttered become a sin unto death (for note how the Scriptures characterized Moses: “now the man Moses was very meek, more than all men that were on the face of the earth” Num. 12.3; therefore no sin could be overlooked in this man’s life).

Now is the day of grace. God is full of grace. So let our hearts be comforted. Do not allow Satan to accuse you, hinting that you have committed the mortal sin and hence must die. Although the Bible does not encourage us to pray for others who have sinned this mortal sin, God will forgive us if we judge ourselves and genuinely repent. The man in 2 Corinthians 2.6-7 is believed by many to be that very one who had lived with his father’s wife. In 1 Corinthians 11.30-32 we also are reminded that even though we may have committed the sin unto death, we can nevertheless escape death if we judge ourselves truly. Therefore never permit any sin to reign in your body lest it become your mortal sin. Our flesh can be weakened, yet we must never lose the heart of self-judgment. We must judge our sin without mercy. It is true that we can never attain to sinless perfection in this life, but frequent confession and trust in God’s grace are indispensable. God will yet forgive us. Those who seek victory over death need to remember this.

Questions:

1) Why is it that 12 out of every 19 years there are always exactly 2,520 days (Daniel's 7 x 360) from Feast of Trumpets to Tisha B'Av, and the other 7 out of 19 years there are always exactly 2,520 days from Feast of Trumpets to the Day of Atonement?

2) Why are there exactly 7 sets of 7 or 17,640 days ((7 x 360)*7) from June 7, 1967 when Israel took over Jerusalem to the Day of Atonement Sept. 23, 2015?

3) Why are there exactly 120 Jubilees of 6000 years (50*120) from 4004 BC when Adam was born to 2015 AD?

4) Why is there not another feast Tetrad to the 2014/15 Tetrad until 2582/83 after the 6th one fell on when Israel became a nation again (1949/50) and the 7th one when Israel entered Jerusalem (1967/68)?

5) Would the earthquake in Haiti 2010 (320,000 deaths, 2nd most deaths of earthquakes recorded) constitute a great earthquake in Rev. 6.12 before the first trumpet of the Tribulation is blown (8.7)?Would the earthquake in Japan 2011 constitute a great earthquake (4th greatest in the world in magnitude)? Back to back, year over year, has there ever been on record two earthquakes with this magnitude and number of deaths?

6) The 2nd item in Rev. 6.12 is the black sackcloth sun solar eclipse. Would the Nov. 3, 2013 solar eclipse constitute just such a rare eclipse? There are 4 kinds of eclipses. The rarest is the Hybrid which occurs about 5% of the time. There are 3 kinds of Hybrids. The rarest Hybrid occurs about 5% of that 5%, called the H3. And NASA additionally breaks down eclipses as long or short. The long are more rare lasting more than 1 min 30 secs. It just so happens the 4th long H3 since Christ is this eclipse which occurs on Nov. 3, 2013 smack in the middle between the great earthquake and Total Lunar Tetrad as required by Rev. 6.12.

7) The 3rd item is the moon red as blood in Rev. 6.12. If the Tetrad in 2014/15 is not the red blood moon, but since God wants us to know what it is, then what could supersede it that it would be that obvious to us?

8) If these 3 events are indeed the events of Rev. 6.12 before the 2,520 days of the Tribulation start, and the Tribulation would begin shortly, would it not commence at some point within the Tetrad period since the 5th, 6th and 7th Tetrads did just that with regard to the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, Israel a nation again, and Jerusalem reclaimed?

9) There are 2,520 days from Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022 the day the 1st and 2nd Temples were destroyed. Would you consider this important to Jesus because He returns to reign on earth in that Temple in person for 1000 years?

10) Would you consider "right at the door" (Matt. 24.33) for the return of Jesus after Israel became a nation again (v.32) no more than a lifetime? Ps. 90.10 says a lifetime is about 75 years. If 75 years from 1948 is 2023 would not the Tribulation conclude by then? This is the time it took Abraham to enter the promise land. It is also the time generally when people go to rest.
