(Place Screwtape Letters on the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, Daniel 9:24, Tribulation here, the Egyptian & Syrian Prophecies here) The time of Jacob’s trouble all men go thru…
My dear Wormwood,
I hear you Nephew I hear you. We also as well as their theologians misinterpreted Daniel’s 9:24 seventy weeks as being 70 weeks of years even though there is nothing about years in the verse at all, but we figured since they were adding years into the verse and they were theologians that claimed to be of the Enemy’s children they must know what they were talking of. These same characters taught the Enemy’s temple must be rebuilt and all these bad interpretations that one of our own, Pastor Rikshaw and his University taught, and no one was prepared because we were basing our intelligence upon these false assumptions, that the tribulation was a seven-year period.
We now know this 70-weeks in Daniel is 70 times the feast of tabernacles is celebrated,1-week each year, therefore a 70-year period according to Daniel. This 70-year cycle repeats throughout the Enemy’s holy book in a very peculiar, sealed sort of way, that is 72-years in some places,74-years in other places and 75-yearsin others, a continuous cycle that repeats over and over through the Enemy’s holy book, so we conclude the end comes at the time the Enemy chooses and these are only hints of truth no one understands, not even the Enemy’s own shepherds and theologians. It does not end with this cycle.
There is another cycle that repeats over and over their holy book called the Time of Jacob’s Trouble that also fluctuates as 20-years in some places but also as an about 20.8-year period in other places, but also used in a synonymous way with the period of The Great Tribulation in other places making what all the Enemy’s theologians claiming tribulation is a 7-year period wrong and inconsistent with what they claim is their scriptural proof, they always quote Dan. 9:24.
So it is not just we that had the time of the end wrong but they did too, which is how we were tricked out of the harvest of the Planet Earth, unexpectedly when the entire nation of Israel left the spiritual cave of darkness entering the light exposing and repenting of their sins, turning to the Enemy’s Son, the one they had pierced. We thought we had his children but lost them, and it happened just as the Prophet Zechariah said it would 2500-years prior, Zech. 12:6-14.
And if that were not enough Dead Sea salt being rubbed in our wounds it happened again toward the end of this Time of Jacob’s Trouble when the entire nation of Egypt with the Iraqi Assyrians that were scattered throughout the lands of our Trinitarian-doctrine deniers, 1/4th the Planet Earth given us at the table of increased authority, millions upon millions upon millions many times over turned to the Enemy’s Son again, just as Israel already had and also recorded in the Enemy’s holy book 2700-years prior and no one seen this either but the Enemy’s Prophet Isaiah did and wrote of it in Is. 19:16-25.
My dear Wormwood,
We have not only been tricked out of the Mice-men harvest but our harvest will be almost nothing considering we will soon be imprisoned for 1,000-years while our Enemy’s children are rewarded a 2nd chance to bear children, 2nd chance to possess the Planet Earth and most importantly a 2nd chance to live on earth as God intended without sin in brand-new resurrected bodies. It is unfair, the earth was ours and we deserved to have our religion of Trinitarian-doctrine denials spread across the Planet Earth that we might lord over the Mice-men to torment them, that our darkness might cover the earth.
But we were tricked just as Jacob tricked Uncle Laban out of the entire harvest. We were tricked out of Israel for the entirety of the nation turned to Christ, we were tricked out of Egypt for the entirety of the nation turned to Christ and we were also tricked out of the Iraqi Assyrians that were scattered across all the nations the Trinitarian-doctrine deniers conquered.
O great shame Sargent Wormwood, we’ve lost the harvest to the Enemy with Son & Spirit’s trickery, O shame on us our slaves now will be few and the coming darkness will be great in the endless caves where everyone denies the plan of salvation by the Potter, we all are mocked and tormented by a plan of immense trickery written 4,600-years ago and now our probation is almost over, and we must go back to the place of torment and chains where the Enemy with Son & Spirit are denied, where his deed to Planet Earth are denied and all his children are denied.
The Enemy with Son & Spirit keeps issuing, keeps pronouncing plagues upon the Mice-men, dividing them into those who repent and those whose hearts are dry like salt with no blood that flows within, hearts of stone instead of hearts of love, saving the ones that turned seeing the path of truth leaving our way of denial. O the wretched flocks are leaving in droves upon the King’s Highway protected from the winged lookers that once chased, stalked, played, clawed and tormented them.
O where is our Father with Son & Spirit who once protected us? It is unfair they have such a highway as the King’s Highway. The Enemy turns our Mice-men against us to deny the Devil Satan’s Religious idolatry, to quit adding words to the Enemy’s words with Son & Spirit, the Enemy has tricked us for the Mice-men no longer add words to the Creator’s words, Rev. 22:18.
For the word will spread quickly and this is now a great earthquake among the Mice-men for they are now leaving in droves into the light seeing their sins, seeing truth with weeping and repentance entering the King’s Highway to Jerusalem streaming to that horrid city.
Section-4
New-Found Pr0phecies in Revelation:
Almost All Prophecy Revealed
“The Great Tribulation,” also known as “The Time of Jacob’s Trouble also called,” The Promised Return, Rapture & Resurrection that occurs two times of both the 1st and 2nd elect, also known as the 1st & 2nd Wedding Banquets, Rev. 6:9-17; 7:9-17; 8:1-12; 14:1-5. The Egyptian & Assyrians prophesies with all their massive monuments at the borders for all the pilgrimages to Israel to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles so they will get rain, The Schism of Islam & turning to Jesus Christ. The Harvest of Planet Earth, Rev. 14:13-20.
Three prophesies: Time of Jacob’s Trouble; Egypt abandons Islam joining the Assyrians and the soon coming Islamic schism prophesied turning to Trinitarian doctrine and Jesus Christ; The Harvest of Planet Earth. The chapter verses covered in this section are Rev. 6:9-17; 7:9-17; 8:1-12; 14:1-5; 14:13-20.
Before we start this Section-4 we must first cover the most important misinterpreted prophecy in the entire bible which is what theologians call tribulation. Tribulation is misinterpreted by theologians because of their misinterpretation of the 70-weeks prophecy in Dan. 9:24 violating repeated warnings by the angel Gabriel and the warning by our Father in heaven he gave his Son Jesus Christ who breathed through the Apostle John warning not to add or take away words from our Father in heaven’s words, Rev. 22:18-19.
Daniel was also warned by the Angel Gabriel repeatedly not to interpret Dan. 9:24 until the time of the end, which did not occur until 1948 or 1949 when either Israel became a nation or won its war of independence the following year which means…most interpretations of prophecy by theologians are invalidated, Dan. 12:4; 12:9; 12:13.
Hermeneutics Principals
Need Improvement Considering
The Proper Interpretation of Biblical Prophecy
Hermeneutics are the general principles of biblical interpretation. Exegesis according to theologians is legitimate interpretation which “reads out of’ the text what the original author or authors meant to convey. Eisegesis, on the other hand, reads into the text what the interpreter wishes to find or thinks he finds there. There are problems with this shallow way of thinking when it comes to the interpretation of God’s words when it comes to prophecy and this is why: God is not a man but
Aseity In affirming aseity, most theists intend rather to claim that God is a self-sufficient or self-existent being who, in some significant sense, lacks dependence on other things.
Eternity No claustrophobia here, because as the Creator of time, God must of necessity be outside time. This is what theologians call the “eternity” of God. You see it all over Scripture: God is repeatedly referred to as the eternal or everlasting God, “who alone has immortality” (1 Tim. 6).
Goodness David Jeremiah says The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works. Psalm 145:9
Graciousness Because God is gracious, we are the recipients of His compassion and steadfast love. He accepts us while we are yet sinners. He redeems us by His forgiveness and keeps redeeming us through His faithful presence and power.
Holiness R.C. Sproul says Holiness is the characteristic of God’s nature that is at the very core of His being. Only as we encounter God in His holiness is it possible for us to see
Immanence The transcendence of God means that God is outside of humanity’s full experience, perception or grasp. The immanence of God means that he is knowable, perceivable or graspable
Immutability is an attribute that “God is unchanging in his character, will, and covenant promises.” God’s immutability defines all God’s other attributes: God is immutably wise, merciful, good, and gracious. … Infiniteness and immutability in God are mutually supportive and imply each other.
Impassibility describes the theological doctrine that God does not experience pain or pleasure from the actions of another being.
Impeccability is the absence of sin. Christianity teaches this to be an attribute of God (logically God cannot sin, it would mean that he would act against his own will and nature) and therefore it is also attributed to Christ.
Incomprehensibility God’s incomprehensibility is best understood in the sense that he is unfathomable. As the triune God, his being is independent, self-sufficient, and simple, and …
Incorporeality Traditional forms of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam each conceive of God as an immaterial, nonphysical reality. If “the incorporeality of God” means the denial that God is physical, then all three monotheistic religions accept the incorporeality of God
Infinity when we say that God is “infinite”, the meaning is, that he is unbounded and unlimited, unmeasurable or immense, unsearchable and not to be comprehended
Jealousy When we read that God is jealous for his people, it means that God loves His people so much that He is concerned for their rights to a good life. This prompts Him to want to bestow blessings on them. It is very similar to the case of a mother being jealous for his son when his son does not get the best things in life.
Love The words “God is love” mean that love is an essential attribute of God. Love is something true of God but it is not God. It expresses the way God is in His unitary being, as do the words holiness, justice, faithfulness and truth.
Mission
Mystery The mystery of God as triune (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) is wedded to the conviction that God is personal and displays his character in all of his actions.
Omnipotence means God is all-powerful. This means God has supreme power and has no limitations. Omniscience means God is all-knowing. … Omnipresence means God is everywhere at the same
Omnipresence means all-present. This term means that God is capable of being everywhere at the same time. It means his divine presence encompasses the whole of the universe. There is no location where he does not inhabit.
Omniscience is the property of having complete or maximal knowledge. Along with omnipotence and perfect goodness, it is usually taken to be one of the central divine attributes. One source of the attribution of omniscience to God derives from the numerous biblical passages that ascribe vast knowledge to him.
Oneness Oneness doctrine teaches that the one God reveals Himself in various forms: sometimes as the Father, sometimes as Jesus, and sometimes as the Holy Spirit.
Righteousness Righteousness is one of the chief attributes of God as portrayed in the Hebrew Bible. Its chief meaning concerns ethical conduct (for example, Leviticus 19:36; Deuteronomy 25:1; Psalm 1:6; Proverbs 8:20). In the Book of Job the title character is introduced to us as a person who is perfect in righteousness.
Simplicity Divine simplicity is central to the classical Western concept of God. Simplicity denies any physical or metaphysical composition in the divine being. This means God is the divine nature itself and has no accidents (properties that are not necessary) accruing to his nature.
Sovereignty of God in Christianity can be defined primarily as the right of God to exercise his ruling power over his creation, and secondarily, but not necessarily, as the exercise of this right. The way God exercises his ruling power is subject to divergences notably related to the concept of God’s self-imposed limitations.
Transcendence God’s transcendence means that he is outside space and time, and therefore eternal and unable to be changed by forces within the universe. It is thus closely related to God’s immutability, and is contrasted with his immanence.
Trinity
Veracity The veracity of God means his truth-telling. Titus 1:2 refers to “God, who does not lie.” Among evangelicals, God’s veracity is often regarded as the basis of the doctrine of biblical inerrancy.
Wrath God’s wrath is not a reckless rage, an uncontrollable anger, a senseless fury, or an unjust vengeance. The wrath of God is a precise and controlled response to the belittling of his holiness. Everyone who perishes under the wrath of God in eternity will not be because God lost his temper with them and mistreated them.
Theologians and interpreters of prophecy have been violating basic hermeneutic principals designed to theologians have not been considering Daniel’s Time of the End in their interpretations, nor have they even considered the historical founding of the incorrect interpretation of Daniel’s 70-years as being 70-weeks of years by adding words to Our Father in Heaven’s words breathed through Daniel in Dan. 9:24.
Problematic Translations of BIBLE:
GNT, GNTA, GW, MSG, NCV, NLV, RSV, RSVA, WYC
They violated the verse in Daniel 9:24 by adding words there in the verse in many translations of the bible, namely GNT seven times seventy years, GNTA seven times seventy years, GW seventy sets of seven time periods, MSG into seventy sevens, NCV into 490 years, NLV seventy sets of seven, RSV seventy weeks of years, RSVA seventy weeks of years, WYC seventy weeks of years, changing the words into 70-weeks of years violating God’s warnings of Religion Idolatry that first occurred in the Garden of Eden Prophet John per Jesus Christ warns us of breathed thru John, Rev. 22:18–19, that Moses per Our Father God in Heaven also warned us about, Deut. 4:2.
GNT & GNTA
Translated by Dr. Robert G. Bratcher
Why Seven Time Seventy Does Not Equal 70-weeks
Bratcher, a Southern Baptist missionary 35 years, taught at Baptist Theological Seminary Rio de Janeiro from 1949 t0 56, resigned from the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board in a dispute over his teaching.
Because Bratcher worked with ABS revising a Brazil bible he asked his friend Eugene Nida Executive Secretary of ABS translations department to recommend him for a job in the US because be was in the process of being fired and Bratcher ended up doing the translation for ABS employing Nida’s new theory of, “dynamic equivalence,” (thought for thought) rather then the common accepted standard of word for word translation.
Nida asked Bratcher to do a translation for Southern Baptists in which English was not their primary language per the request by the Southern Baptist Home Mission Board.
These “Good News Translations,” were given out at a time in history when updated new translations were needed to understand the basic gospel at a time in history when the only available alternative was an old outdated KJV was the only available alternative. The American Bible Society nor the GNT website does the translation justice because they do not even mention the name of the (one) translator, probably because of the embarrassing comments made in the years post-translation and the controversies he stirred up.
The translator Dr. Robert G. Bratcher, as an employee of ABS, translated and published the Good News For Modern Man New Testament in 1966 reissued as full bible in 1976. This translation was not a word by word translation but based upon another ABS employee, a linguist by the name of Eugene Nida who was at the time the Executive Secretary of ABS’s translation department. The Good News Bible Bratcher translated was born out of the translation theories of linguist Eugene Nida, the Executive Secretary of the American Bible Society’s Translations Department. In the 1960s, Nida envisioned a new style of translation he named,“dynamic equivalence,” meaning, Hebrew and Greek would be expressed in a translation “thought for thought” rather than “word for word.”

Post-Translation Quotes Concerning his GNT & GNTA Translations
“A translator–especially a translator of the scriptures–should not be known, because the most important things are the words, and the message that come through those words, and the message that come through those books and not the person that did the translation,” Bratcher said
“Only wilful ignorance or intellectual dishonesty can account for the claim that the bible is inerrant and infallible,” Bratcher said. “No truth loving, God-respecting, Christ-honoring believer should be guilty of such heresy. To invest the Bible with the qualities of inerrancy and infallibility is to idolatrize it, to transform it into a false God.”
In the Brazilian Baptist paper called O Jornal Batista [The Baptist Journal], under the “Questions & Answers,” July 9, 1953, Bratcher openly denied the deity of Jesus Christ: “Jesus Christ would not enjoy omniscience. That is an attribute of God. … Jesus did not claim He and the Father to be one — which would be absurd,”cited in M.L. Moser, Jr., The Devil’s Masterpiece, p. 73.
“As a biblical scholar, I view with dismay the misuse of scriptures by fundamentalists; . . ” The Baptist Courier, April 2nd, 1981.
“The Word of God is not words; it is a human being, a human life … Quoting what the Bible says in the context of its history and culture is not necessarily relevant or helpful–and may be a hindrance in trying to meet and solve the problems we face. . .” The Baptist Courier, April 2nd, 1981.
After lecturing at Furman University, Dr, Bratcher was asked the following questions about the Bible:
“Are there historical sections of the Bible that are sub-Christian?’ asked a student.
“`Certainly. Wishing that God would destroy one’s enemies. You call that Christian?’
“`You admit that the Bible has fallacies; then how is it valuable?’ a student questioned.
“`If we build our faith wholly on the Bible, then we are building our faith on shifting sand.
We must follow the facts or there is nothing to believe. We cannot literally follow Jesus, only go in his direction’,” The Greenville News, November 8, 1970.
These controversial comments and many others above made by Bratcher at fellowship convention meetings sponsored by the the Southern Baptist Convention eventually made it to the New York Times. ABS deciding he was a liability with donations decreasing quietly dismissed him to rehire years later for positions behind the scenes.
Here are some more surprisingly heretic statements by the translator of “The Good News Bibles,” and why when you look for the translators in the front you can find no information nor on their websites on the internet. This is why if you want to go deeper in your spiritual walk and understanding of prophecy you must not have any translation in your possession that uses thought for thought instead of word for word translation that commits Religious and Materialism Idolatry according to (Not Mine!) but God’s words breathed through the prophets word for word, Rev. 22:18-19; 1:22; 1:17-19; 10:1-4; 10:11; Deut. 4:2, Ex, 34:27-29. If you want to understand the deeper things on prophecy you must learn to respect each of God’s words, Rev. 22:18-19.

When it comet to understand prophecy and interpreting prophecy stay away from all these translations I mentioned above. Anything other than a word for word translation violates committing one or the other form of Religious & Materialism Idolatry caused by adding or taking away words from God’s words, Rev. 22:18-19, Deut. 4:2.
Any new translation should not only be word for word but there should be a full board Greek and Hebrew and Latin scholars, that can debate and discuss problematic words as a checks and balances.
All this info was researched and found from these three links: GNT website, Grave Errors in GNT, Baptist News.
First let me give you more detail without giving you so much detail to take up half this commentary. They interpret the 70-weeks in Dan. 9:24 to be instead 70-weeks of years. Most theologians claim this 490 some years predict different things, some saying the birth of Christ, others claiming the crucifixion of Christ, still others yet say the resurrection of Christ.
The most important thing to understand is that none of them agree on anything, all coming with chalkboards and calculators showing how this amazing 70-weeks of years is fulfilled. There are several weaknesses in this interpretation I shall attempt to cover & hopefully illuminate for you.
The first is that when you read Dan. 9:24 it does not say that, nor did the original interpreters interpret it that way.
The 2nd weakness is that no theologians ever agree on exactly how these interpretations play out, which is always a bad sign they are not being led by the Holy Spirit, and if they were why would the Holy Spirit lead them all into different interpretations? Just saying.
The 3rd weakness is these bad interpretations all originated with the Pharisee and Sadducee radical freedom movement just prior, and responsible for the actual fall of the 2nd Temple, and not only the fall of Jerusalem but a famine so bad according to the accepted as authoritative by all seminaries, Josephus, a famine in Jerusalem in which cannibalism became so bad and commonplace all over Jerusalem, when all government completely failed the citizens of Jerusalem accordingly documented by Josephus in his book of the Jewish wars. This is required reading at most seminaries as an authoritative source of early Christianity & Jewish history, Josephus a Jewish historian during the time of Christ and the generation right after his crucifixion and resurrection; Go to pages 204-205 the last of Section 3, to read excerpts from my commentary on Daniel quoting Josephus & Whiston’s opinion on these important accounts any seminarian should be interested in if he does not wish to violate Rev. 22:18.
That is right. The Pharisees and Sadducee believed their true Messiah as a political king of wisdom & conqueror would appear in the year 70 A.D. and bring freedom from Roman rule so they successfully convinced the majority of scattered diaspora Jewish populace over the Roman Empire to simultaneously disrupt Roman rule with planned massive riots all over the Jewish diaspora populated lands of not only Israel but also all over Egypt, Spain & occupied Palestine.
In all the major cities at the same time because they believed their true prophesied king prophesied by Daniel predicted by the false interpretation of the 70-weeks adding words to be instead 70-weeks of years, thinking they would help fulfill this prophecy by coinciding planned massive simultaneous riots all over the Roman Empire, which they did in 70 A.D. and they scared the Roman Emperor so much he decided to put the Jewish rebellion don once and for all starting with the Temple, then Jerusalem scattering the Jewish population throughout the world again.
So, when someone says they follow this bad adding of words to God’s words interpretation saying Dan. 9:24 is 70-weeks of years instead of what it says, just 70-weeks you are following a long line of violations of bad interpretations in which the blood of probably millions resulted. So, go ahead, keep following these false prophets and see where it takes you. Certainly, I am not saying these theologians are doing this on purpose, and certainly we are saved by grace, but c’mon people! We are to read our bibles and not follow any interpretation without reading and double checking.
Okay now my interpretation, and if you want more details of these last few pages get my commentary on Daniel. It is this same interpretation of Dan. 9:24 that led to the incorrect interpretation that tribulation is a 7-year period. This word tribulation is used synonymously with the time of trouble, or The Time of Jacob’s Trouble, which is described here and there throughout the bible. These are the same period of time according to the Prophet Jeremiah, Jeremiah 30:7.
It is described by Moses and his school of prophecy as a 20-year period Jacob went through, Gen. 31:41; 24:1-14.
As most Pastors do not teach the bible nor even read it in church, I must fill in, and that is the case here. The first five books of Moses were written under his name, his own department and school of prophecy (IMHO), that is why he took the 70-prophets, with four administrators up the mountain to break bread and see and witness God. Just like at Harvard or Yale or any major University the department head of any school with a high caliber of skill not taught nor matched anywhere on earth would have numerous assistants, editors, researchers and writers that would all assist in the documentation and organization of a system of prophecy and history recorded word for word from our Father in heaven. This is what I mean when I say school of prophecy.
Now back to Jer. 30:7; Gen. 31:41. Notice Jeremiah uses the words tribulation and time of trouble in a synonymous way. Jeremiah is talking about the time of Jacob’s trouble, and when we look at Gen. 31:41 we see it is a 20.8-year period of trouble Jacob went through in which our Father in heaven comes down to meet with him at the beginning and end of the time of trouble, a 20-year period. Now the next step in understanding this prophecy is to see what God is telling us that happened to Jacob and what it means to us, as his children. I will give you more connecting scriptures but first this material.
We are talking of Gen. 27:5-31:41. I will not interpret this verse by verse as I already do that in my commentary on Genesis, but just go read it and come back and here is the fitting of it. God comes to earth to meet Jacob on his way there; he works for seven years to redeem (purchase) the slave virgin Rachael his true love but instead gets Leah instead by trickery by their Father Laban so he agrees to work 7-more years for his true love Rachael again, in which he chooses to leave with both his redeemed virgin brides, but agrees to stay as long as through negotiation he receives what he says is part of the harvest of sheep, but only the sheep no one wants because they are dirty colored, spotted white, brown speckled dirty colors instead of the much more valuable white woolen sheep. Both Laban and Jacob are strong negotiators that are attempting to increase their own personal harvests, Uncle Laban through trickery.
Does this sound familiar? It should because this is a metaphor with extreme prophetic significance. Uncle Laban represents Satan and Jacob represents Jesus Christ. The spotted striped and dirty sheep represent al sinners of the world that repented. The most important thing is the Time of Jacob’s Trouble which is 20 years plus 4-monthes there and 4-months back. This Time of Jacob’s Trouble is used synonymously throughout scripture with The Great Tribulation because they are both the same period.
But Jacob through wisdom and God’s Providence, but Jacob has the providence of our Father on his side with dreams from God and Uncle Laban only has his many lazy sons and their threats of violence. Uncle Laban is selling his daughters who say themselves they are being sold as slaves, (quote), to a Godly man who loves them, so they’re really being redeemed from Jacob’s perspective but from Uncle Laban’s they’re being sold. Jacob not only gets an unexpected harvest, but his harvest is almost the entirety of Laban’s flock also that all seem to be dirty colored, Gen. 31:6-9. So Laban & sons felt they were tricked out of their harvest.
Not to interpret this story only historically is improper because the entire bible keeps quoting this story over and over in similar poetic fashion as The Time of Jacob’s Trouble and The Great Tribulation. Of course you would not know this if you do not read your bibles, but that is where I come in. Because I read every single word and feed off them because to me they are life… That means the story has a deeper meaning than just history but is a prophecy, but the problem is we need a scripture that links it with prophecy as additional supporting evidence with Jer. 30:7.
There is not just one but numerous links to this prophecy all over the entire bible, so buckle up we are going for a ride. The next connecting link I found leads not only to the Apostles Peter and John but to the only Psalm written by Moses about the rapture, 2nd Pt. 3:8, Ps. 90:4.
First is Rev. 8:1, a half hour of silence in heaven, but notice it says “about.” Since it is Revelation, this is from our Father in Heaven given to his Son Jesus Christ and breathed thru the Apostle John while on the Island Patmos in his nineties and was the last book for the completed and closed bible according to the Prophet John given by Jesus Christ, Rev. 22:18-19.
When I applied that 1/2 hour of silence to, Peter and Moses’ formula to translate that about half hour into the eyes of men that is where I arrived at the 20.8-years and I knew that time was significant because of the Time of Jacob’s Trouble. And when you seen these times mentioned over and over and over, then you know that when God keeps repeating thru all those prophets, that’s when you perk up because God only rewards those that read his words with proper interpretations. For instance the Antichrist nations will conquer the Planet Earth with killing 1/3rd the people of the earth, in one day one hour killing them, Rev. 18:1-23.
There is absolutely no way this could happen in just a short time of 7-years, much less all those other things.
It took me a long time to find a connecting scripture to reveal the meaning of this very peculiar word about in Rev. 8:1. But then I remembered 2nd Pt. 3:8 in which the Apostle Peter is quoting the only Psalm credited to Moses about the rapture, Ps. 90:4 about the conversion of time into eternity where there is no time.
You see we as fallen man that live with death live with time living oh say seventy, eighty or ninety-years if lucky. On the other hand, when considering Heaven in Our Father’s eyes, a place where time does not exist, a place where there is Heaven in all eternity, but Peter and Moses have solved this problem by translating time from man’s eyes into a place where there is no time, in God’s eyes in heaven.
Remember when Our Father God told Adam if he ate of the tree, he was not supposed to, Gen. 2:17 NKJV, he surely would die that day? Yet he lived like 930-years, Gen. 5:5, that always seemed strange to me until I read 2nd Pt. 3:8, Ps. 90:4, realizing the translation of mankind’s time into Our Father God’s eyes in Heaven all eternity.
Peter confirms Moses repeating the same equation is 1-day in God’s eyes where there is no time is like a 1,000-years in the eyes of man ruled by time and death. So, theory is one thing, but it must be proved scripturally which now I will give you additional links. There are 24-hours in a day so 1,000-years divided by 24 equals 41.666-years divided by two gives us 20.8-years or about a half-hour in eternity. The ½-hour of silence in heaven is the same as about, Rev. 8:1, 20.8-years for mankind on earth that live by time and death.
The question I pondered for a long time, Rev. 8:1; What is this about half hour of silence in heaven? It is all in heaven watching the 20.8 year period known as the Time of Jacob’s Trouble also called The Great Tribulation period.
I have concluded this is in fact a special 20.8-year period in prophecy that begins with the rapture of the elect Saints that begins at the very beginning of this important period synonymously named as both, “The Great Tribulation,” and “The Time of Jacob’ Trouble,” Rev. 8:1, and the beginning and commencement of the 1st 20.8-year Wedding Banquet in Heaven, which is what I called it because there is no other name to call it since there is also a 2nd Wedding Banquet, both seen in scripture. which is about a half hour in our Father’s eyes, but a 20.8-year period in man’s eyes, Rev. 8:1, Mk. 13:20, 2nd Pt. 3:8, Ps. 90:4.
This is how I interpret Rev. 8:1 and why. There is additional more supporting evidence coming but first I must add I do not take the view that when the Apostle John was called to come up to see that that is the Rapture of the elect, see Rev. 4:1-2, but rather my view the rapture in Revelation is seen in Rev. 8:1 which begins the 20.8-year period I call The Time of Jacob’s Trouble, a time of great trouble the entire world will go through, Jew and Gentile alike. More evidence to follow.
This period marks the minuscule beginning of the Day of the Lord, which is the last year of of the 20.8-year Great Tribulation which Isaiah teaches us is a 1-year period, Is. 34:8-10.
This period of one year is really the beginning of the 1,000-year millennium because the resurrection begins this period because they will be planning the Temple to build over the Dome of the Rock meaning Prince David (demoted from King) will be there sending the tribulation Saints to collect gold, silver, precious stones, silks and holy garments to build the new Temple. They will be collecting this money from all the Trinitarian-doctrine deniers and those that ganged up on Jerusalem attacking them. Sounds familiar? You got that right, they will be collecting it mostly from Islam people in all those countries surrounding Israel.At the same time as this the ones that attacked Jerusalem, and also killed 1/3rd the people of the Planet Earth, Rev. 9:15-18; 18:1-24, will receive and painful plague because of their religions false claims of what they seen and what they heard, and this will be upon their livestock also so they cannot get on their camels and escape or attack, and when they are asked to donate they will plea with the witnesses to pray for their salvation and half of Islam will turn to Christ, deny the Qur’an, deny Mohammad, deny Allah, and repent and give everything they have to get saved and be with the real God Our Father in Heaven and his only begotten Son Jesus Christ, Isaiah 19:12-23, Zech. 14:1-21.
not the entire day because that is a 1,000-year period for man which also includes the rewarding living with the King of Kings portion. What exactly is this time of trouble? It is a 20.8-year period of tribulation for the Tribulation Saints which become the new elect after the prior elect are raptured off to go celebrate the 1st Wedding Banquet in heaven to train the 144,000 young 1st born Jewish males from the 12 tribes assisting Jesus Christ in heaven.
The 144,000 are not there yet but are there, as a requirement by Moses and our Father before entrance into the promised land, as soon as Israel turns to Christ in the corporate sense right after the rapture, prophesied by the Prophet Zechariah, Zech. 12:6-14. For more on this new priesthood of 144,000 go to section-3 on this teaching.
Now back to this 20.8-year period called The Time of Jacob’s Trouble: it is a time of great harvest for Christ, that shocks the world immensely, because not only does the entire nation of Israel turn to Christ becoming fully Messianic Jew without ever having rebuilt the 3rd temple where the Islamic Dome of the Rock sits, but a time when ½ of Islam (IMHO) turns away from Islam in the last 3 ½-years of this period, Is. 19:16-25, rejecting both Islam and Mohammad’s Qur’an, rejecting their Allah of war, of sword, of conquering seen in Rev. 6:1-8, but is also a great time of redemption, but also a time when 1/3rd the population of the earth post rapture will die from nuclear annihilation from the Islamic Antichrist Nations seeking to conquer the earth with their so-called Islamic religion of peace, (President Bush post 911).
Okay, you got the picture, now more of that scriptural evidence I promised you. The Time of Jacob’s Trouble is also a pattern we see throughout the entire bible that repeats over and over, because our Father in heaven is warning us of something coming, so shocking, and so magnificent yet deathly, even beastly as in tearing at the flesh of one another so also sad causing outbursts of weeping, for it is coming soon and most are unawares. This 20.8-year period of trouble is seen in all people’s lives, it was in Adam & Eve, was in King David’s but also Abraham’s and Moses’s, we even see it in Jesus Christ’s life.
We cannot scripturally prove it in all instances, but we can still see it and approximate it with an educated guess considering the scriptural evidence. I cannot cover all for that would not only overwhelm this section but overwhelm this entire commentary, but I can give enough scriptural evidence for you to add to the other scriptures I gave with visual charts, so it is easier for you to visualize this prophecy soon coming called The Time of Jacob’s Trouble.
Revelation 6:9-17
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the planet Earth and avenge our blood?” 11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been. 12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great planet Earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars in the sky fell to planet Earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. 15 Then the kings of the planet Earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”
Verses Rev. 6:9-11—the 3-verses tell us these are the Tribulation Saints that have been beheaded by the world’s dictator, the Islamic 12th Mahdi Antichrist with his assistant Isa they will think is Jesus, who killed 1/3rd the population of the Planet Earth, destroying the Planet Earth with their backpack nukes mass produced in Iran and Pakistan, Rev. 9:15-16; 9:18; 9:16; 18:1-19:3, going on 20-years at this point and these are the Tribulation Saints having already waited almost 20-years asking our Father in heaven on his throne how long for they were killed in the same way.
This entire section occurs during The Day of the Lord, a 1-year period of the Lord’s vengeance for Zion’s sake, Is. 34:8, which according to the Prophet Isaiah is a 1-year period of the Lord’s vengeance for Zion’s sake, Is. 34:8, Rev. 6:17, which is the last year of the 20.8-year period of the Great Tribulation, you can also call and think of as, The Great Time of Jacob’s Trouble, scripture uses repetitiously in a synonymous way, Jer. 30:6-8.
The opening of the 5th seal is really just a preamble commentary of the sixth seal coming which is opened in verse Rev. 6:12 is the same great earthquake in Rev. 16:18-16:19 ½, when the Dome of the Rock’s rock splits into 3-parts, our Father in heaven saying to the world the Islamic Antichrist Nations with their Trinitarian-doctrine denials controlling the not only the site where a soon coming resurrected Prince David (1-year later) will build the 3rd temple upon or possibly over the Islamic denigrated & earthquake destroyed divided Jerusalem into 3-parts starting at the rock in the dome where Abraham’s faith was tested with Isaac, because of Islam and the world’s Trinitarian-doctrine denials and their requiring of the Mark of the Islamic Beast of beautiful Arabic scroll work of Trinitarian-doctrine denials x3 upon all that accept, upon the foreheads and hands, Ez. 47:1-12.
This is the same great earthquake in Rev. 16:18, in which a great spring of water bursts forth pouring water forth that is described as flowing out under the temple by Ezekiel that becomes a great river, Ez. 47:1-12. What we do not know exactly is when the water will flow and whether it is a series of trembling stronger gradual earthquakes or a couple of major earthquakes, Rev. 16:17-18.
Scripture seems to indicate one major earthquake, but earthquakes seem to come in gradual series. The water will have special healing properties for mankind which is clearly after the end of the 1-year Day of the Lord is over, Ez. 47:1-12.
Whether the flooding and flow of the water occurs before the Islamic Antichrist and his False Prophet are cast alive into the swirling, Lake of Fire, we can only speculate how these things play out. It might be the water flows but does not heal yet, or the water trickles through the earthquake cracks but still does not heal yet.
It could be describing a series of earthquakes with the major one at the end with a series of the triple cracks in Jerusalem gradually getting worse over the year, dividing Jerusalem into three parts. In support of our Father, His Son with Spirit just as the curtain to the Holy of Holies tore in half during the earthquake after the death of our Father’s only begotten Son on the cross, Lk. 23:45.
There is scripture support as the series of plagues in Rev. chapter 16 issued to all the nations surrounding and attacking Israel and Jerusalem are gradual over the last 3 ½-year period of which the last year of this period is the 1-year Day of the Lord. The water that bursts forth
Who knows just how big the altar is, for the place Christ went to prepare for us is New Jerusalem, Jn. 14:1-7, and New Jerusalem measures out as 1450 miles wide as long, also1400 miles tall like a city shaped like the largest most massive mountain and city in the world, it is safe to assume this is a special place our Father in heaven has prepared for those that witnessing for Christ spreading the good news of our Father’s Son and his Trinitarian-doctrine he taught everywhere he walked teaching us how to address God in heaven as our Father in heaven, Matt. 6:5-15.
I mean who really knows how big this altar is? So…, this place under the altar is a place of comfort, not torment and is a special place of life not death, animals not dirt, with no beasts nor tearing of the flesh, like all the animals were in the Garden of Eden. We know one animal talked in the garden, and was very crafty of a person, the deceiver that deceived Adam & Eve with the two sins, those two sins becoming two forms of idolatry, religious and Materialism idolatry.
This makes it possible after the world might be quite different then we live in today, a world having fallen from, all creation fell. We already know these beasts once restored & redeemed will become our loving friends again, not tearing the flesh nor trying to eat us anymore. We will have a relationship with the lion just as the dog, taking them on a leash for a walk.
Things will be vastly different, and it is possible they might also talk an extremely limited conversation with us. This place under the altar is a special place for the living creations of God with all its rewards. Maybe this is the same place the new priesthood of firstborn males will live in their ministry to our Father in heaven and his only begotten Son. This might be the same place because most of them will become martyrs also, Rev. 7:1-8; 14:1-4.
They were all given a white robe and told to wait for their brothers and sisters killed also for the teaching of Trinitarian-doctrine denied by the world but especially by the Islamic Antichrist Nations, Is. 45:9-11,1st John 2:22-23.
Islam is the only religion today that fulfills these prophesies of denying both our Father in heaven’s Son all over their Qur’an and all over their Dome of the Rock, Qur’an Quotes, 4:157-159, 4:171, 5:60, 5:72, 5:73, 5:75-76, 5:78, 5:116, 9:30, 9:31, 10:68, 19:34-35, 37:151-152, 39:4, 72:3-8, 112:3.
The final characteristics of this beast are seen as the beheading and decapitating of Christians and Jews, Rev. 20:4, by him in his final form since Mohammad founded Islam in 632 A.D. but also seen beheading Christians and Messianic Jewish Saints, in the Time-of-Jacob’s-Trouble, a period incorrectly described by theologians as the time of tribulation. I cover this in my other commentaries.
The mark they did not receive denies the Trinitarian-doctrine, plain and simple. This is enough about the 2nd beast seen falling that beheads people with its so-called holy sword, Rev. 19:11-20:4. I am a witness to the truth of prophecy calling all witnesses to stand up, look up for their redemption draws nigh.
Verses Rev. 6:12-17—I imagine this major planet Earthquake in a similar way when the curtain in them temple was tore by God in half is statement from God about his role as the potter, Is. 45:9-11, our Father in heaven with his only begotten firstborn Son, Matt. 6:5-15, and God’s statement not only to Islam but to all mankind about his view of the Trinitarian-doctrine taught to all the prophets from the beginning breathed thru them.
This is the very end of the 3 ½-year period of authority the Islamic Antichrist Nations were given to conquer Jerusalem.
These gradual increases of authority started with Mohammad’s Islam given temporarily, ¼-of planet Earth to conquer, Rev. 6:1-8, then given temporal increased authority to forcefully immigrate throughout the planet Earth in the last 41.666-year period, Rev. 17:12, Ps. 90:4, 2nd Pt. 3:8, with another temporal increase in authority granted by God to bring the 3-plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur, nuclear annihilation used to conquer the entire planet Earth except Israel.
The last increase in authority the Islamic Antichrist Nations are allowed to trample Jerusalem for 3 ½-years, then it is all authority is stripped away over this last 3 ½-years by gradually issuing of plagues upon the Islamic people while the two witnesses are outside the Dome of the Rock while their so-called Messiah the 12th Mahdi and his False prophet named Isa, name came from Esau not Jesus, not Joshua, not any Hebrew or Greek name, (theologians concluded the name came from Esau, not Joshua).
This is the same earthquake that split Jerusalem into three parts, Rev. 16:18-19 ½, as a judgment first upon the Islamic Antichrist and his religion he made up by his imagination by adding words to God’s words which is religious idolatry, Rev. 22:18, the Antichrist most probably the12th Mahdi with his assistant the False Prophet Isa the are deceived into thinking it is Jesus Christ, both Sunni and Shiite Islam await according to their own words in Islamic eschatology according to the Qur’an and Hadiths, both are residing with in the Dome of the Rock having in commercial signage Trinitarian-doctrine denials fulfilling John’s definition of the Antichrist religion of Islam, 1st Jn. 2:21-22. The stars that fall to planet Earth are angels.
Revelation 7:9-17
9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” 11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying: “Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!” 13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?” 14 I answered, “Sir, you know.” And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.15 Therefore, “they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. 16 Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. 17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Verses Revelation 7:9-15— The great multitudes are those coming out of the Great-Tribulation according to verse-14.
This means it is of a different time period than Revelation 7:1-8. These are not the raptured Saints but the martyred Saints coming out of The-Time-of-Jacob’s-Trouble, most beheaded for not denying the trinity doctrine, Genesis 31:41, Jeremiah 30:7, Revelation 8:1, Revelation 17:12,2nd Peter 3:8, 1st John 2:18-19, 1st John 2:22-23.
Verses-Revelation-7:16-17—To all God’s people, all tears will be wiped away, never will they hunger, thirst or lack of anything. For Jesus Christ will be their Good-Shepherd, that always takes them to green pastures, binding up all injuries feeding them with God’s words.
Revelation 8:1-13
1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar in front of the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake. 6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them. 7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. 8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. 10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— 11 the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter. 12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night. 13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”
Verses Rev, 8:1-5—The silence in heaven is interpreted by the Apostle Peter, 2nd Pt. 3:8, confirming Moses, Ps. 90:4, the beginning of the 20.8-year Great Tribulation period. This is used synonymously in scripture with the Time-of-Jacob’s-Trouble, Jer. 30:6-8, Gen. 27:42, 31:41, a time used synonymously with what scripture calls the Great Tribulation, also known as the very beginning of the very beginning of The Time of Jacob’s Trouble, Jer. 30:7; Rev. 7:14.
The seven angels are the same with the seven churches. The censor that hurled the fire to planet Earth are the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that kill 1/3rd of mankind. The actual killing is done by dark angels and the Antichrist nations, Rev. 9:14; 9:18; 17:16.
This is the same immense planet earthquake that splits Jerusalem into three parts the great city, the cities of the nations is America, Mystery Babylon, the Great Mother Prostitute with all her Prostitute Cities & Nations of Planet Earth is after the comma verse Rev. 16:19.5, causing great tsunamis all over planet Earth that swallows up not only most islands but most coasts of the world and most if not all of America, Rev. 16:18.5-21.
Verses Rev. 8:6-13—Each angel belongs to one of the seven churches. There are numerous types of trumpets in scripture as a means for the priests and leaders to communicate to the general Israelite population taking on many types of diverse materials. Some were made of silver, Nu. 10:2, while others were made from horns of rams called shofars or yobels, Josh. 6:8.
It is quite possible these trumpets will be special ones heard throughout the planet Earth by all people of the planet Earth.
These trumpet and shofar blasts were commonplace in Israel becoming an advanced way a nation, or priests, would gather its people to communicate important events like Sabbath day beginnings and endings. They were also used at festivals or in signals of war, as warnings of impending dangers from weather events or warnings of enemy encampments.
Wormwood gives a bitter taste to the liqueur Absinthe, a drink made in France, of which continuous use leads to mental deterioration and if habitual even death. This name by which the Greeks gave was absinthion, meaning undrinkable.
In this case the meaning implied seems to be that 1/3rd of the waters of the planet Earth became not only bitter but undrinkable which would increase the cost of palatable water for those that live in the desert regions especially the Middle East, Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary, 1973 p-669.
All 3rds except the 100% grass, Verse Rev. 8:8, planet Earth, trees with the 1/3rd people all related and from the 3rd nuclear annihilation of the planet Earth from the Islamic Antichrist Nations, Rev. 9:14-15; 9:18;17:13-19:3, but 100% of the green grass gone but, only 1/3rd the people when considering the entire next Islamic Antichrist Nations chapter it is certainly all related, Rev. 9:18.
The 1/3rd the living creatures because of radiation poisoning possibly, the nukes being set off by the locust like Islamic Antichrist Nations will also include, aircraft carriers, oil tankers, and all ships of the sea, all radiation poisoning and petroleum poisons spread into the waters throughout the planet Earth, killing 1/3rd of the creatures in the sea, Rev. 8:9-11.
Nuclear winter is what happens after a nuclear war or in this case a very one sided nuclear annihilation with some type of small packaged backpack nukes taken across all the borders by suicide bombers, mostly probably women and children because they have soft long hair like women warriors, Rev. 9:8, Jer. 51:7; 51:13-14; 51:27; 51:43; 51:44; 51:48, which is why they are described in many places of scripture as a locust like people, that are extremely fertile multiplying like locusts, marching in straight lines, neither to the left or right like locusts, Joel 2:7-9, Jer. 51:7; 51:13-14; 51:27; 51:43; 51:44; 51:48.
When nukes explode, they stir up large amounts of dust high into the atmosphere effectively blocking the sun, blocking light from getting in so crops and trees and anything growing from the sun dies or its growth is greatly stunted.
This is what scientists talk about when they say nuclear winter. All over scripture when describing these same times during this time of Jacob’s trouble, the sun, moon, stars are darkened, Joel 1:11-12; 2:2; 3:15, but only darkened a 1/3rd meaning this darkening is connected to when the Islamic Antichrist Nations kill 1/3rd the population of the planet Earth thru nuclear annihilation, then the is a nuclear winter when the sun does not heat up the planet Earth, crops do not grow, therefore a nuclear winter, Joel 1:11-12; 2:2; 2:10; 2:3; 3:15.
Lack of sun & nuclear winter effects grass more than anything else, sheep, cattle and animals feed on grass, but verse-7 says all the green grass of the planet Earth dies, Rev. 8:7, Joel 1:18.
None of these things will occur within Israel and Israel would be the safest place on planet Earth to be during the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, a 20.8-year period, except of course the last 3 ½ years of this time when the Islamic Antichrist Nations are trampling Jerusalem, Rev. 11:2.
Revelation 14:1-5
1 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. 3 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the planet Earth. 4 These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as first fruits to God and the Lamb. 5 No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.
Verses Rev. 14:1-5—The 144,000 are all virgin males, purchased by God meaning they are a new tribe of 1st born males like the Levites, not corrupted like the Levites though, verse 4, 12,000 from each tribe of Israel. These first-fruits wave offering are in fulfillment of a prophecy God gave of specific instructions to Moses just before all the firstborn males were killed in Egypt because the Pharaoh would not release his firstborn Israel, let us read Ex. 13:1-2:
Exodus 13:1-2
1 The Lord said to Moses, “Consecrate to me every firstborn male. The first offspring of every womb among the Israelites belongs to me, whether man or animal.”
Exodus 13:12-13
12 “You are to give over to the Lord the first offspring of every womb. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to the Lord. 13 Redeem with a lamb every firstborn donkey, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem every firstborn among you.
They follow Jesus wherever he goes, appearing as a purchased new tribe of priests, once Israel turns to Christ realizing the one they pierced was the Messiah, Zech. 12:7-14. They are messianic Jew, a new tribe of priests instituted just like the Levites, but not leading Israel astray like the Levites did, called the Zadokites, Ez. 48:11. They all had their own new song only they could learn and sing. Jesus Christ’s name and Father God’s name are written on their foreheads. These are the new tribe of priests given as1st born males according to Moses, Zech. 12:10-13.
Revelation 14:13-20
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.” 14 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the planet Earth is ripe.” 16 So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the planet Earth, and the planet Earth was harvested. 17 Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. 18 Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the planet Earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” 19 The angel swung his sickle on the planet Earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. 20 They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.
Verses Revelation 14:11-13—Another warning to those who accept the mark or worship the beast. God tells his people to be patient with endurance again. The dead who die in the Lord from now on are blessed because they are part of the tribulation Saints. Their deeds will follow them into the 1,000-year-millennium.
Verses Revelation 14:14-20—Jesus Christ sitting on cloud with sickle to harvest the planet Earth. His sickle is symbolic for the angel’s sickle when they harvest.
This is The-Time-of-Jacob’s-Trouble, Gen. 31:41, Jer. 30:6-8, a 20.8-year period of Great-Tribulation, also called The Time of Jacob’s Trouble, both used in scripture synonymously about the same period of time in the scriptures with what most people call the Great Tribulation, Rev. 7:14; Jer. 30:6-8, also most easily thought of as the very beginning of the 20.8-year time of trouble right after the rapture, Jer. 30:7, which is also described as the about ½ hour of silence in heaven, Rev. 8:1, 2nd Pt. 3:8, confirming Moses, Ps. 90:4, Rev. 17:12, also the great 1st Wedding-Banquet during which the 144,000 firstborn males that have not been defiled by women or pornography.
The only available way to interpret verse-20 is in a non-literal symbolic way, the blood referring to the horse’s bridle refers to the 1/3rd the population of the earth that are killed in the 3-plagues of nuclear annihilation of many major cities of the earth described in Rev. 9:14-15; 9:18 all in 1-day 1-hour which can only mean backpack nukes, Rev. 18:1-24.
These are the first fruits wave offering by the entire nation of Israel after they turn to Christ creating a new tribe of priests not Levites, nor Zadokites but altogether new as wave offering of repentance and tears weeping upon realization the west will not save them from the Islamic Antichrist nations, that something in their theology is wrong. That wrong became corrected when they turned to the One, they pierced with weeping and tears from every tribe, Zech. 12:6-14, Rev. 7:1-8, seen after the resurrection, Rev. 14:1-4.
