Hi friends, my name is Steve and I would like to welcome you to my Rapture Bound Outreach Center — a cutting-edge, video-based Christian ministry where you will gain an expanded understanding of end times prophecy. If you live near Chicopee, Mass, consider stopping by for fellowship and video presentations concerning the Biblical signs proclaiming the nearness of Jesus Christ’s return.
Please email me at bo-benny@charter.net if you have any questions.
If you are a church-attending follower of Jesus Christ, you are probably aware of the lack of, and superficial nature of the teaching of end times Bible prophecy. My desire is to provide a platform in which people can meet face to face, discuss various end times topics, and encourage one another as we await our “catching away” or ‘Rapture” out of this fallen world (1 Thess.4:15-17; Rev.3:10).
It was back in 1983 that I was delivered out of the “matrix” of this present evil world system (2 Cor.4:3,4). My eyes were truly opened for the first time as I came to the realization that no amount of my own “goodness” could ever merit right-standing before God (Rom.4:1-8). It was only after trusting that Jesus paid for my sins personally on the cross that I received the assurance that all my sins were forgiven, and therefore would one day enter the New Jerusalem (Heaven) ..(Rom.3:24,25; Heb.10:14; 1 John 5:13; Rev.21:2). This assurance is not a “pipe dream”, it is not” too good to be true”, it is real, it is God’s promise, Praise His Name!
The topic of Bible prophecy was very instrumental in my becoming a follower of Jesus Christ. It was a very popular book on prophecy written by Hal Lindsey entitled “The Late Great Planet Earth” that awoken me to the fact that the fulfillment of Bible prophecy provided compelling and overwhelming evidence for the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures. Please do not underestimate the immense value of studying the Bible’s prophetic element.
All the prophecies concerning the First Coming of Christ were fulfilled to the very letter. This fact gives me the utmost confidence that all that has been written with regard to His Second Coming will indeed come to pass! According to “The Encyclopedia of Biblical Prophecy” by J. Barton Payne, there are 1,239 prophecies in the Old the Old Testament and 578 prophecies in the New Testament for a total of 1,817. These prophecies are contained in 8,352 of the Bible’s verses. Since there are 31,124 verses verses in the Bible, the 8352 verses that contain prophecy constitute 26.8 percent of the Bible’s volume.
Many Pastors avoid the topic of end times Bible prophecy for various reasons – lack of knowledge, fear of looking like the lunatic fringe, fear of offending their members, or perhaps fear of losing their 501(c)(3) IRS church status. Please do not misunderstand me, I say this not to disrespect or devalue in any way the role of God-given leadership, but instead to address “the elephant in the room ” – the lateness of the hour in which we are living.
Here at my Outreach Center, the pressing issues of the day that are related to that “elephant in the room” are addressed head-on, topics such as : The New World Order; the R.F.I.D./Mark of the Beast (666); the Anti-Christ and the False Prophet; The Great Sign of the Woman (Rev.12); the 2014-15 Blood Moon Tetrad; The Great Pyramid of Giza; and The Great American Solar Eclipse. Hope to hear from you soon!
“Hindsight is 20/20”, especially as it relates to the sign of The Great American Solar Eclipse … since that epic sign was fulfilled, at least partially, in the year 2020! It’s been well over 3 years now since I posted [Part 1] “X Marks the Spot : The Great American Solar Eclipse” [published on September 19, 2019 ]. < https://raptureboundoutreach.com/2019/09/27/x-marks-the-spot-the-great-american-solar-eclipse/ >
My above linked article was published pre-Plandemic [i.e. – prior to the planned Coronavirus Pandemic/Epidemic] since the Pandemic was officially declared by the WHO on March 11, 2020… the infamous day that was called “The Day Everything Changed” https://www.npr.org/2021/03/11/975663437/march-11-2020-the-day-everything-changed
With the passing of time, I discovered, what I believe to be, at least one amazing fulfillment concerning that sign. Keep in mind that oftentimes signs/prophecies are fulfilled on multiple levels; therefore, what I’ve seen may or not be the lone fulfillment of that sign … only time will tell. In other words, it’s quite plausible that there will be yet another significant prophetical event that takes place on or around the time of the second Total Solar Eclipse over the U.S. on April 8, 2024.
The Sign of Total Solar Eclipses over the U.S., Aug.21, 2017 & Apr.8, 2024 :
Keep in mind that those epic total solar eclipses were meant to be signs specifically and exclusively for the United States. What were the odds that the first U.S. citizen to receive the snake juice jabberoony would do so exactly 1211 days counting forwards from the first eclipse, and 1211 days counting backwards the second eclipse?!! “X Marks the spot”!! …. that is, the timing of that intersection marks the spot with pinpoint precision! From my perspective, this anomaly is something that only the God of the Bible[ Elohim], can, and did orchestrate.
Daniel 12:11, “And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and [***the abomination that maketh desolate set up***], there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.”
Interestingly enough, one of the key chapters revealing end times events is located in the book of Daniel. It is there, in Daniel 12:11, that we were warned of the setting up of, that is, the implementation of an abominable event.
Most students of Bible prophecy agree that the abominable event spoken of in Daniel 12:11 was fulfilled in 167 BCE, by the Seleucid ruler Antiochus IV. However, it certainly appears that the words of Daniel were not just about the desolation of Antiochus in the Maccabean era, Jesus foresaw the greater desolation … Matthew 24:15, “when you shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand).”
The Jewish Feast of Hanukkah celebrates the rededication of the Temple after it’s defilement under Antiochus IV. Incredibly, December 14, 2020 – the date that the first U.S. citizen received their Covid vaccination, ‘just happened’ to land smack-dab in the middle of the Feast of Hanukkah on the Jewish calendar [Hebcal]! Just as December 14, 2020 was the midpoint date separating the 2 Total Solar Eclipses over the U.S., it was also the precise midpoint date of Hanukkah in the year 2020 …. talk about 20/20 vision!
Hanukkah 2020 began in the evening of Thursday, December 10th, and ended in the evening of Friday, December 18th … “X Marks the spot”- December 14, 2020 – Mid-point Hanukkah!!
Revelation 3:3, ” Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.” [NKJV].
John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Revelation 13:18, “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
Every time Barack Obama, a.k.a. “Mr. 666″/ “Mr. O” signs his name, he reveals himself as antíchristos, “the son of perdition” spoken of in 2 Thess. 2:3 – “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;”
Obama signs the “O” of his last name in the form of a negative phi symbol divided by two. In trigonometry, the solution to the equation negative phi divided by two = sin 666 degrees!! Is this not an incredible anomaly?
phi [ Φ ] = the golden ratio : the golden ratio, also known as the golden section, golden mean, or divine proportion, in mathematics, the irrational number (1 + Square root of√5)/2, often denoted by the Greek letter ϕ or τ, which is approximately equal to 1.618. Unlike pi, which is a transcendental number, phi is the solution to a quadratic equation.
negative phi [ -Φ ] divided by 2 = sin 666 degrees … here’s the math :
-Φ divided by 2 = -1.618 divided by 2 = -0.80902 … [-0.80902 = sin 666 degrees].
In traditional Greek numerals, phi has a value of 500, and it is the 21st letter of the modern Greek alphabet. Lexicon :: Strong’s G500 – ἀντίχριστος antíchristos, an-tee’-khris-tos; from G473 and G5547; an opponent of the Messiah:—antichrist.
April 30, 1966 – Church of Satan officially recognized and established by the U.S. government as a religion. Plus : 6 years 66 months 666 weeks & 6666 days … Equals : Nov. 4, 2008 – Mr. “666” [Son of Perdition – 2 Thessalonians 2:3] – Obama officially recognized and established by the U.S. government as President!
Revelation 13:18, “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
Revelation 13:16-17, “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
The One World Trade Center represents the One World [New World] Order, and the final “Beast” system [the 4th beast of Daniel chapter 7 corresponding with the beast of Revelation chapter 13] that will reign over all the kings of the Earth in the days just prior to Jesus Christ’s Return.
The Twin Towers needed to be demolished in order for the Beast to make way for the grand symbol of the “Great Reset”, the establishment of their One World Government … The One World Trade Center.
Notice how the hypodermic needle in Obama’s hand [filled with the Covid vaccine] closely and ominously resembles the “Crown” [Corona] of One World Trade Center.
The crown of One World Trade Center is a 408-foot spire — consisting of a mast and a communication platform ring. At night, a beacon at the top sends out a horizontal light beam, which can be seen from miles away. Although the term “Corona” was first used in English in the 1500’s, it was borrowed directly from the Latin word for “crown”.
The “408” foot spire or crown is 408 feet in height … “4/08” = the 4th day of the 8th month. Does the sound familiar? … well, that Obama’s birth date [August 8th, 1961]. Keep in mind that [the above pictured] “The Economist” magazine was issued in June of 2009 before dismissing this as “coincidence”. They told us their plans as far back as July 2009 on the cover of that magazine [while laughing at us as shown on the very cover]! Their master plan, their “Great Reset”, has been [and still is for so very many] “hidden in plain sight”. In reality, the “Great Reset” will usher in the “Great Tribulation” [Matthew 24:21].
Call me crazy if you like, but this has all unfolded right in front of our eyes. Barack Obama certainly appears to be the “Great Puppeteer” of his U.S. Puppet … Joe Biden is the Puppet [Obama certainly appears to have many other Puppets]. Let’s do the math shall we? … [O]bama + [Biden] = OBiden … the 46th POTUS.
Former U.S. president Barack Obama told host Matt Galloway that he misses the camaraderie and the “mental exercise of figuring out hard policy problems,” but not the pomp of the presidency.
He adds that he might have enjoyed a third term if someone said “you can sit in your basement in your sweats” just doing the policy work.
In his only Canadian interview, he also spoke about racism in the Donald Trump era and the task facing a Joe Biden presidency. Read more and listen to the full interview here: https://www.cbc.ca/1.5809466
Listen at 6:23 minutes into video … with a “slip of the tongue” Psaki lets the cat out of the bag [again] by referring to her boss as Obama. A Freudian slip? … you decide.
Many are hoodwinked into believing that our present Plandemic scenario is one of “good cop [Trump] vs. bad cop [Biden]”… when the reality is they are on the same team … “Team Beast” of Revelation chapter 13. “Team Beast” realized that in order to get a much larger number of those on the right wing political group to take the snake juice “jabberoony” they would need someone that they have put their faith in to endorse it … enter “Mr. Snake” … “Mr. Trump”. It’s very obvious [to those who have been watching the signs from a Biblical perspective] that Trump was one of their key players in the implementation of the Coronavirus Plandemic.
For all we know, Trump and Obama may be playing a round of golf together in Florida … sipping on a Pina Colada, laughing about how easy it was to fool the vast majority of the citizens on this planet as to the World Health Organization’s true and ultimate intents concerning the snake juice … the Coronavirus jabberoony.
Trump even came out during one of his political rallies and read a poem entitled, “The Snake” or viper – a poem that was in reality about himself, yet even millions of professing Christians in America continued to virtually worship him as being the hope for the restoration of the nation, while Jesus essentially took a back seat … how tragic … how sad.
“The Storm is Here” = 660 in Jewish Gematria. Didn’t some guy named Trump give us an urgent message “A Storm is Coming?… and then proceeds to leave his parting gift as POTUS – Operation Warp Speed – “Snake Juice for all” :
H660 – ‘ep̄ʿê – Strong’s Hebrew Lexicon (KJV) www.blueletterbible.org › lang › lexicon › lexicon › str.. H660 – אֶפְעֶה ʼephʻeh, ef-eh’; from (in the sense of hissing); an asp or other venomous serpent:—viper.
Does God use Gematria to communicate His Signs? … You Betcha!
The Sign of the Great Pyramid of Giza:
“Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day.” (Jer. 32:20a)
“In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord. And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a savior, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.” (Isa. 19:19-20).
“The Great Pyramid of Giza sets itself apart as one of the greatest marvels of all time. It’s the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing. That’s pretty amazing! Gone is the Statue of Zeus, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Artemus, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. Only the Great Pyramid is still with us.”
“Gematria is the science of finding meaning in the numerical value in words. In the Hebrew language each individual letter has a numerical value. Thus every word has a numerical value of the sum of the value of it’s letters. If one adds up the numerical value of all the Hebrew characters in the Great Pyramid text (Isa. 19:19-20), the value is 5449 … which is the height in inches of the Great Pyramid!!
YHWH revealed Himself as the “I AM” in the burning bush. Is the very word ‘gematria’ an anagram for the “Great I AM”??
GEMATRIA GREATIAM
Many attribute or equate this evidence as “coincidence”, but in the end, it’s up to each and every individual to seek for the truth, to weigh the evidence. God the Holy Spirit will reveal signs such as these as being sent by Elohim only to those who ask and strive to hear from Him.
Proverbs 25:2,”It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.”
Dr. Michael Yeadon is the former Chief Scientist and Vice-President of Pfizer Respiratory & Allergy Research, and has worked for over 30 years in the pharmaceutical industry. At great personal cost, he has been sounding the alarm about some of the lies and half-truths coming out of public health agencies during this pandemic. He is deeply troubled by the use of emergency-use-authorized vaccines being given en masse to non high-risk patients, the lack of informed consent for those being given these EUA therapies, the prospect of vaccine passports, and many other public policy responses to this pandemic.
Dr. Yeadon gives a crystal clear, common sense overview concerning the world-wide plandemic. Sadly, the thing about “common sense” is ….. it really isn’t so common after all. When I try to warn professing Christians, the majority of them call me a ‘conspiracy freak’ … “God simply wouldn’t allow something like this” … “and after all, my Pastor says that you are lying”. When I try warning non-professing Christians, they commonly say, “well, all of your so-called sources of information are biased …they come from Christian sources”. But when I present compelling evidence to them from secular sources [such as Micheal Yeadon], they either write them off as being conspiracy nuts, or give me the lame excuse that they don’t have the time to look into that evidence.
Can you see anything wrong with this picture? The sad reality is that most people simply don’t want to know the truth … whether the matter concerns Biblical realities or matters of great worldly importance [such as the Covid Plandemic]. Willful ignorance is bliss … until the tragic consequences arrive [then – not so much] … all men will stand before God to stand in final judgment [there will not be any more opportunity to ‘bury their heads in the sand’ at that time]. Men will give an account for suppressing the truth … period.
Boggy Peak, named Mount Obama from 2009 to 2016, is the highest point of the Shekerley Mountains on the island of Antigua. It lies in the southwest region of the island, and rises to a height of 402 metres (1,319 ft.).
On August 4, 2009 [Obama’s 48th birthday], the peak was renamed Mount Obama by then-Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer, after United States president Barack Obama. The original name was restored in 2016 by cabinet decision.
Although Wikipedia lists the height of Mt. Obama at 1,319 ft., that is only a rounded off number, with it’s actually being 1318 ft. As an example of this, say a person is 5 ft. 11 and 3/4 inches tall … well, they may claim that they are 6 feet tall … but, officially, and in reality, they are not 6 feet tall … they are close,’ but no cigar’ … they are still 5′ 11″ tall … they are still shy of the 6 foot mark.
402 meters = 1318.89764 feet … so, officially, Mt. Obama’s elevation is 1318 feet
“1318” – where else do these numbers appear in that order? … how about in the book of Revelation … chapter 13 and verse 18 = Revelation 13:18!!
Revelation 13:18, “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”… Yeah, I know, “just another one of those countless coincidences” they say – lol … well, here’s a few more “coincidences” to add to the list …
August 4, 2009 [the day the mountain was renamed Mt. Obama] was Obama’s 48th birthday and the 216th day of that year [as well as every year] …. 216 = 6 X 6 X 6 or “666”…. Revelation 13:18 or 1318 divided by 216 = 6.10185185185 … with the first two numerals just so happening to match Obama’s height [6′ 1″] …
6 feet +1 inch = 185 centimeters … a triple confirmation of the son of perdition [even Obama’s height identifies him as the man of sin, the son of perdition].
I’ll leave you with one more “coincidence” … In Revelation 7:4, the Apostle John heard the number of them that were sealed … 144,000 of all the tribes of Israel …
144,000 divided by 666 = .216216216 [infinitely repeating!!]
Under the distinguished patronage of Honourable Winston Baldwin Spencer Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, The dedication Ceremony for the renaming of “Boggy Peak” to “Mount Obama” was executed on August 4th, 2009, 9:00 AM, at the Christian Valley Agricultural Station in Jennings Village, Antigua. It was an unforgettable event. Of all places to select for his dedication ceremony, leave it to Obama to choose … “Christian Valley”.
The Christian Valley Agricultural Station is a Government owned and operated agricultural station in the southern mountainous region of Antigua in the vicinity of the Jennings village. There are several facets to the extremely scenic and picturesque location. as its name suggest it is in a valley and surrounded by many Hills and Mountains for example the Mcnish Mountains and Mount Obama.

Matrix – (slang, figurative) a term describing a controlled environment or situation in which people act or behave in ways that conform to roles pre-determined by a powerful person(s) who decides how the world is supposed to function.
Red pill refers to (becoming enlightened to) the truth about reality, especially a truth that is difficult to accept or exposes disillusions. The terms “red pill” and “blue pill” refer to a choice between the willingness to learn a potentially unsettling or life-changing truth by taking the red pill … or remaining in contented ignorance with the blue pill. The terms refer to a scene in the 1999 film The Matrix.
Event 201 – The Plandemic – Part 1 :
Event 201 was a high-level pandemic exercise performed on October 18, 2019, in New York, NY. The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201.
The exercise illustrated areas where public/private partnerships will be necessary during the response to a severe pandemic in order to diminish large-scale economic and societal consequences. Event 201 simulated an outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person, leading to a severe pandemic.
They put it right in front of our faces … right before it happened!! Watch the following videos and articles for an eye-opening [“red pill”] experience. One of the huge components in the success of this Plandemic is the blind trust that most people put in governmental systems…. their mantra is … “trust the science” [and forget about your Bibles].
“We ran a massive viral pandemic simulation. Here’s what we learned about managing Coronavirus.”
“A RECAP, EVENT 201 – PANDEMIC SIM = PLANDEMIC, BUT WAIT, CORONAVIRUS IS COVERED IN A BLACK SUBSTANCE”
“Before COVID, Gates planned social media censorship of vaccine safety advocates with pharma, CDC, media, China and CIA”
Event 201 – Part 2 – “Catastrophic Contagion” … Coming to a city near you :
Nearly three years to the day of Event 201, which highlighted a worldwide training response to a Coronavirus outbreak, a new pandemic exercise “Catastrophic Contagion” revealed a SEERS [Severe Epidemic Enterovirus Respiratory Syndrome] exercise held on October 23, 2022 hosted [once again] by John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
“The exercise simulated a series of WHO emergency health advisory board meetings addressing a fictional pandemic set in the near future. Participants grappled with how to respond to an epidemic located in one part of the world that then spread rapidly, becoming a pandemic with a higher fatality rate than COVID-19 and disproportionately affecting children and young people.”
Please take the red pill while it’s still there for the taking!! Soon, the blue-pilled multitudes will find themselves trapped in the horrors of the Great Tribulation [Matthew 24:21] … The Time of Jacob’s Trouble [Jeremiah 30:7 & Daniel 12:1].
“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: “And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. “And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. “And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. “And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.” (Rev.12:1-5).
“Historically the predominant assumption was that the male child of Revelation 12:5 was referring to the events surrounding the First Coming of Christ, but this interpretation appears to have some significant faults. In retrospect it looks like the popular view regarding the male child was held for two reasons: first, because Augustian allegorism has held sway over the Church since the 5th century and second, because significant scholarly studies on Revelation 12 have been almost entirely avoided until relatively recently.
The Reformers largely carried over Augustinian eschatology from the [Roman] Catholic Church. They continued beliefs of prophetic allegorism and Replacement Theology. The issue at the time wasn’t escatology, it was soteriology,… doctrines such as sola fide, sola scriptura, and the priesthood of all Believers.” [ source (3) ].
Surprisingly to many , Rev.12:5 is perhaps the strongest proof-text in support of a pre-tribulation Rapture of the Church. “It is a consideration that has been almost entirely lost in the discussion of the Rapture. In fact, the earliest advocates of a pre-tribulational Rapture ( John Nelson Darby, William Kelley, William Blackstone, H.A. Ironside, etc. ) pointed to this passage as it’s decisive exegetical evidence.
The problem is, of course, this is a symbolic vision that needs to be carefully interpreted and the interpretational issues are complicated and require a working knowledge of the original Greek. Also, it requires that the exegete has already concluded that Revelation is to be interpreted in a premillennial, futurist light. I argue that the symbol of the male child in Revelation 12:5 is best identified as the body of Christ , the church, and the child’s catching up to God and His Throne is best identified as the catching up of the body of Christ ( 1 Thess.4:17).” [ source (1) ].
“I find it fascinating that around the same time the Revelation 12 Sign was first spotted using astronomy software ( sometime in 2011 or 2012), a number of scholars, such as Michael Svigel, re-discovered the use of Revelation 12:5 as the chief pre-trib proof text. The timing is impeccable.” [ source (3) ]
The Identity of the Man child :
Rev. 12:5, “And she brought forth a man [ arsen, Strong’s G730 – male ] child [ huios, Strong’s 5207 – son ], who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron : and her child [ teknon, Strong’s 5403 – child ] was caught up unto God, and to his throne.”
Identifying the male child as the Church preserves the corporate symbolism in Revelation 12. The woman is Israel, the dragon is the satanic world system that arises [ to it’s zenith ] under [ the ] antichrist, and the child [ teknon] is the [ corporate Body of Christ – the Church ].
The child in Revelation 12:5(b) is called teknon ( informal child ), rather than huios (son of honor ), which is strange considering that Jesus is exclusively called huios in the Scriptures, except on a single occasion by his mother ( Luke 2:48). In addition, the Apostle John uses teknon to refer to the Church as the children of God in his first epistle ( 1 John 3:1-2,10,5:2 ), and uses huios exclusively to refer to Christ in his gospel and first epistle ( John 1:49, 59, 3:13,16,5:19,14:13, 1 John 3:8,4:15, 5:5,5:20 ). To assume John is suddenly changing course in Revelation 12 would be contrary to all evidence. The Apostle John intentionally made a grammatical [ “error” ] in Revelation 12:5(a) by modifying masculine huios ( son ) with neuter arsen. He is clearly connecting this particular male child with the male child in Isaiah chapter 66, which is a corporate entity.
The Church is twice called a man (Eph. 2:15,4:13) and the most common metaphor in the Bible for the Church is actually the “Body of Christ”, rather than the “Bride of Christ”. That is not to say the Church is not also Christ’s Bride, but that as far as metaphors go, and there are many, the “Body of Christ” is the most frequently used ( e.g. 1 Cor.10:16-17,12:12-13,25-27, Romans 12:4-5; Col.1:18,24,2:19,3:15; Eph.4:4,11-13). So to say that the male child is only Christ would be to neglect these many other Scriptures.” – [ source – “Major discovery Concerning Revelation 12” – Gary @ Unsealed.org : https://www.unsealed.org/2017/07/major-discovery-concerning-revelation-12.html
The Man Child is Caught Up :
“and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne” – Rev.12:5(b)
“The word in Revelation 12:5 [ for “caught up” ] is the word for “rapture”, harpazo, and always means a sudden removal, a snatching. In contrast, for the ascension of Christ, the New Testament uses terms such as “to be lifted up,” epairo (Acts 1:9), “to ascend”, anabaino (John 20:17: Eph.4:8-10) and “to take up” analambano (Mark 16:19; Luke 1:11). These are neutral terms meaning a removal from one place to another.
Revelation 12:5 has the male child being suddenly snatched away from the dragon, who wants to devour the child. The ascension of Christ was gradual (Acts 1:10), not sudden. Also, Revelation 12:5 is a context of “rescue” from the threat of the dragon. The word “rapture”, harpazo, is appropriately used in the New Testament for a rescue in Acts 23:10 and Jude 23. In His ascension to heaven, Christ was not rescued, but ascended victoriously and was in no danger from the devil or anybody else. The term “rapture”, harpazo, is never used of Christ’s ascension to heaven.” The evidence clearly associates Rev.12:5 with the Rapture event. [ source (1) ].
The Man Child will Rule with a Rod of Iron :
“And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron” – Rev.12:5(a)
“It is obvious enough that Jesus will rule the nations with a rod of iron ( Psalms 2:7-9, Rev.9:15 ), but Rev. 2:26-27 informs us that the Church is afforded this honor as well. There is no good exegetical reason to reject the view that the male child represents the Church in union with Christ. For such an interpretation does not deny that something of Christ is in view, but contends that it is Christ in union with His spiritual body, the Church, that is being symbolized.” [ sources (1) & (2) ].
The Travail of the Woman :
“And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.” – Rev.12:2
The sun – clothed woman of Rev.12:1 who is pregnant represents ( natural ) Israel, who brought forth Christianity, out of the house of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the root of Jesse through the Messiah – Jesus Christ ( Isaiah 53 ). Both Jews and Gentiles who place their faith in Jesus Christ ( the body of Christ ) partake of “the root and fatness of the olive tree.” ( natural Israel, Rom.11:17 ) – namely, the covenants and promises of God ( Rom.9:4 ). The child or “baby” is the body of Christ – both the dead in Christ and those who are alive in Christ at the time of the Rapture ( 1 Cor.15:52 ). The baby has been conceived at the inception of the New Covenant when Jesus died, resurrected and ascended to Heaven. The baby has been growing ever since, and is soon to be born!
“The use of the neuter adjective arsen ( male ) modifying the masculine noun huios ( son ) and the image of Israel (the woman ) giving birth points careful readers back to Isaiah 66:7-8, where we read in the Septuagint ( Greek version of the Old Testament ) :
“Before she travailed, she brought forth ; Before her pain came, she gave birth to a boy ( arsen ). Who has heard such a thing? Can a nation be brought forth all at once? As soon as Zion travailed, she also brought forth her children.”
“Can a nation be brought forth all at once?” (Isa.66:8 ) – “a nation”, since the text tells us plainly that the woman is Zion ( or “Israel” per the text ), it would seem evident that she is not giving birth to herself. There are many parallels here to the rebirth of Israel in 1948, but I believe in it’s ultimate, futuristic application, the nation she gives birth to is the “body of Christ” – the church. In 1 Peter 2:9 the church is called “a holy nation.”
The image is parallel in Revelation, and John explicitly breaks the rules of grammar ( modifying the masculine “son” with the neuter “male” ) to point us back to this passage in Isaiah 66. The child in both cases is corporate, not individual.” [ source (1) ].
The birth in Revelation 12 is a specific birth, a miraculous birth. A birth that takes place in reverse order, contrary to the normal order of things. The baby is born before the woman has labor pains. This is exactly what was portrayed in the Mazzaroth during September of 2017. You might call this a “celestial c-section”. In September 2017 the sign occurs on the 23rd, two weeks after the birth ( on Sept.9th ). In Revelation 12:1-2 the pains are simultaneous with the sign, yet Isaiah 26 tells us the woman only give birth to wind after her labor pains. Her womb is empty! The baby was already born via miraculous delivery. This is exactly the order we see in September – a birth before the sign. The baby is born and delivered before the Tribulation ( or “travail” of the woman ) occurs.” [ source (3) ] https://www.unsealed.org/2017/05/the-celestial-c-section-defense-of.html ; Also, view chart at the bottom of the following article which shows a detailed chart on the birth of Jupiter on Sept.9, 2017 entitled, “Luis Vega ( 14 Aug 2016 ) “Birthing of the Manchild – Gestation of Jupiter in Virgo.” http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/aug2016/luisv814.htm
My perspective is very similar to those who hold to a mid-tribulation Rapture, but differs only in the window of time in which it will take place. Those who hold to a mid-tribulation Rapture generally believe the Rapture will occur at some point during the middle of the seven-year period of “tribulation”. Although I would agree that their theory could very well play out, I expand the window of it’s possible fulfillment to the very start of the final 7 years of this age.
What we hold in common is the assertion that the Rapture does not have to occur prior to the entire 7 year period of time ( of “Great Tribulation” ). I would call myself a “modified pre-tribulationalist” in the sense that I believe that the Rapture will take place prior to the Great Tribulation which is limited to a 1260-day time span, “The Time of Jacob’s ( Israel’s ) Trouble”( Jer.30:7 ). That is, of course, not taking into account the possibilities of the delay of the Rapture ( Matt.25:5 ) or the shortening of days ( Matt.24:22 ) ; for these reasons, I believe it is nearly, if not altogether, impossible to set a rigid or “absolute” time line.
Speculative numerical correlations to the 2017-2024 Tribulation Timeline theory :
(1) The mathematical anomaly contained within the “2017-2024” :
Incredibly, by multiplying the year of the first Solar eclipse with the year of the second, it yields the exact date of the second eclipse in it’s first five digits! What are the odds? ……..
2017 X 2024 = 4082408 …. or 4/08/24 with a remainder of 08 …..
Could the “08” or “8” be pointing to a “new beginning” with the ushering of the Millennial reign of King Jesus near the end of the year 2024? “The number eight in the Bible signifies resurrection and regeneration. It is the number of a new beginning. Eight is 7 plus 1 and since it comes just after seven, which signifies an end to something, so eight is also associated with the beginning of a new era or that of a new order.” – article, “The Bible numerology code number 8” ( AstroVera ) http://www.astrovera.com/bible-religion/189-bible-number-8.html
(2) The 726 days from Sept.28, 2015 to Sept.23, 2017 :
(a) Sept.28, 2015 – the final Blood Moon of the 2014-2015 Tetrad.
(b) Sept.23, 2017 – the appearance of the Sign of the Sun-Clothed Woman of Rev.12:1-2.
Could the 726 days between the Supermoon Blood Moon of Sept.28, 2015 visible from Jerusalem at moon-set be heralding the start of the “Rapture window” on Sept.21-23, 2017? For a fuller appreciation of the Divine symmetry behind the 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad or “Jewish Holiday Eclipses” view here : http://www.watchmansview.com/Blood_Moon_Tetrad.html
(3) The puzzling day count connections to the Feast of Pentecost in 2021 :
There are two potentially significant day counts that both point to Pentecost in 2021. What, if anything, is the message here?
(a) Sept.21/22, 2017 + 1335 days = May 17/18, 2021
Sept.21/22, 2017 =Yom Teruah/ Feast of Trumpets & possible start of Daniel’s 70th Week.
1335 days = Dan. 12:12, “Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.”
May 17/18, 2021 = Pentecost on the Hebrew calendar ( Hebcal ).
Will the Rapture event take place at this time?
(b) Dec.6, 2017 + 1260 days = May 18, 2021.
Dec.6, 2017 = Trump’s historic declaration of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
May 18, 2021 = Pentecost on Hebcal.
Will the 144, 000 of all the tribes of Israel be sealed at this time? ….. only time will tell. Although these day counts are purely speculative, they are in my opinion worth pondering.
Luke 21:28,”Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
“For most people life is plain, even flat at times. The great mountain peaks of existence are either far behind us or on the distant horizon. Occasionally, with a rush of excitement, we remember the intoxicating heights of our first date, the birth of a child, or our rebirth in Jesus. For me, discovering gematria was an event of that magnitude, an Everest in importance.” ( James Harrison ). Personally, I can so relate to his experience. The discovery of gematria produced in me an incredible degree of awe and confidence in the reality of the Divine inspiration of the Holy Scriptures!
All creation, from the largest to the smallest, can always be reduced to numbers. Pythagoras, the father of mathematics, discovered a great truth when he said, “Numbers are the language of the universe.” In the writings of the ancient philosophers there is a common agreement that the purpose of number is for investigation of the universe. From the atom to the galaxy in the heavens, the same unchanging laws apply – the laws of arithmetic, the language of number. Just as the hand of God spread the vast expanse of the heavens by number, so too His written word can be reduced to number; and those who have tried it have stood in awe of the intricacy and beauty of the design.
The secrets locked up in the Number Code of the Bible are there for all to behold; and down through the centuries many have unlocked those secrets and revealed to us the unspeakable beauty of the intended design. But it was not until the advent of the computer that we are able to truly search the depths of this amazing science, and find those gems that have been hidden in plain sight for thousands of years.
The practice of gematria is as old as man. It is simply the number substitution for the letters of the alphabet. It is specifically an integral part of the two languages in which the original texts of the Bible were written – Hebrew and Greek. Gematria among the Greeks was common use at the time of the writing of the New Testament. A copy of one of these early manuscripts ( papyri ), exists today in Dublin, Ireland in the Chester Beauty Collection. it is the earliest known copy of the book of Revelation extant. It is dated somewhere between 200 and 300 a.d. This manuscript uses Gematria for every number in the book of Revelation.
Certain constants occupy precise balancing points in the cosmos of number, like habitable planets sprinkled throughout the galaxy at just the right distances from their suns. Three of the most notable mathematical constants are pi ( 3.14159…); phi ( 1.61803… ); and e or Euler’s number ( 2.71828…).
Many are astounded when they discover that these three critical mathematical constants are contained or encoded in the Biblical text :
Possible correlations between the gematria of the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible (“Bible gematria” ) and the Jewish year 5778 :
(1) “5778 on the Hebrew Calendar” ( Bible Gematria ) https://youtu.be/ZNoJYQCjmto > @41:28 – 44:30 mins. into the video we discover ; “The first occurrence of 427 in pi is followed by the four digits 5778! There is only one word in the Tanakh which appears 427 times. That word is ( shana ), meaning “year”, which has a gematria value of 355. The year 5778 on the Hebrew calendar commences on 21st September, 2017.
The first occurrence of 355 ( shana ) in pi is surrounded by 300 and 876. ( 300 + 876 = 1176 ). The first occurrence of 2017 in pi is is surrounded by 248 and 928. ( 248 + 928 = 1176). 1176 is the 48th triangular number! John 3:16 gives : 3 X 16 = 48. “Only begotten Son” has a gematria value of 1176!
Euler’s totient function is of major interest in number theory. The totient of the gematria value of “Jesus” ( 888 ) is 288. ( 888 + 288 = 1176 ).”
According to “the 2017-2024 Tribulation Timeline ” theory, the dates spanning Sept.20th – Sept.23rd, 2017 are the key dates marking the intersection of the Jewish years 5777/5778, and mark the commencement of the final 7 years of this age. The ( above ) numbers revealed in pi may very well be confirming the immense importance of the start of Jewish year 5778 on God’s prophetic blueprint.
(2) “5778 : The Sign of Jonas the Prophet” ( Bible Gematria ) https://youtu.be/wEhzZewGbSI @1:15:40 – 1:18:10 mins. we find :
“The first day, “And God said, Let there be light” ; “Let there be light.” – gematria value = 232.
The fourth day, “And God said, Let there be lights.” ; “And God said, Let there be lights.” – gematria value = 666.
666 – 232 = 434.
“And God said” – gematria value = 343.
434 + 343 = 777!
“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven.” ( Genesis 1:14 ) ; “in the firmament of the heaven.” – gematria value = 777!
777 adds 7 rows to the 5778 triangle!
5778 +777 = 6555.
In number theory, the totient of 6555 is 3168 which is the gematria of “Lord Jesus Christ”!
These final “7 rows” just may be representative of the final 7 years of this age starting on (5)”777″/”5778″. Again, these calculations are simply possible correlations; they are speculative in nature and are brought to your attention “in the case of actual emergency” ( that is, in case they in fact turn out to be actual confirmations ).
Melchizedek is seen as a type of Christ, about which the evidence is compelling ; Melchizedek was the king of Salem ( Jerusalem ) ; (“Salem”) has a gematria value of 370 ; The first occurrence of 370 in pi begins from position 555 ; the word “Christ” ( Messiah ) appears 555 times in the Bible ( KJV )!
@12:30 – 14:50 mins. we find :
The gematria value of ( “Salem” ) is 370 ; ( “Israel” ) has a gematria value of 541 : The first conjunction of the digits 541 in pi, phi, and e occurs at index position 370!
Melchizedek was the King of Salem ; (“King of Salem”) has a gematria value of 460 ; The three digits at index position 460 in pi, phi, and e are 919 ; (“Melchizedek”) has a gematria value of 919! ; The first 460 digits of pi sum to 2020 ; (“after the order of Melchizedek”) – Hebrews 5:6, has a gematria value of 2020! ……. Could the number “2020” be denoting the year 2020 on the Gregorian calendar? Could it be pointing to a possible Rapture event? … Only time will tell.
@29:48 – 30:45 mins. we find :
Beginning from position 14,632 in pi is the fourth occurrence of 5778 ; Surprisingly, it’s first three occurrences all appear within the first 1,000 digits! first position = 632; second position = 947; third position = 953 ; 632 + 947 + 953 = 2532.
In both the golden ratio and the transcendental number e, the first 552 digits sum to 2532! Pi, the golden ratio and e are constants in our universe ; Another is the speed of light through a vacuum … 299,792,458 m/s ; The first occurrence of 299792458 in pi is followed by 552! …. and yet there remains those who declare, “there is no God” … are you serious?!
Some people don’t believe that God has a sense of humor ; I am not among that number. The following scenario just may serve as “case in point.”
In an articled entitled, “Calf with 7 on it’s head named for Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger”, they write ( in reference to the black calf pictured above ) : “There’s a new No. 7 in western Pennsylvania. The folks at Vale Wood Farms have named a calf Baby Ben after the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback because the cow has a marking that looks like a No.7 on it’s head…
“I see the big ‘7’ on the forehead. I’ve never seen a cow like that, “said Brad Wing, the Steelers punter. “That could be a sign from above”, echoing fans who think the number means the team will win a seventh Super Bowl. “That’s not Photoshopped, is it?” Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey asked.”I think Ben needs to buy this.” “My college number was seven. Could be my cow,” said Steelers defensive end Stephon Tuitt. The farm plans to display the calf when it opens it’s pumpkin patch for business next month.”
Well, if these calves are truly a sign from God, that’s one way to get America’s attention, through her favorite sport – the N.F.L. Granted, the sign would be very difficult to decipher without it being pointed out to them. Although many did get a healthy laugh over the scenario, there were others who were very serious about contemplating it as a genuine sign from God. As always, these issues must be decided by each individual as they seek the Lord for discernment.
Could it be God’s warning to America that the final 7 years of this age is rapidly approaching? In light of the 2017-2024 Tribulation Timeline theory, I believe it is very possible , especially when a person considers the timing of the births of the calves from a Biblical perspective.
The black calf (“Baby Ben”), the firstborn, was birthed on Saturday September 20, 2014. Not only was he born on a Sabbath day, but it was the final Sabbath day of the year, based on the Hebrew calendar. The new year began on Rosh Hashana, which fell on September 25, 2014.
“Amazingly, a second calf was born with the number seven plastered to his face five days after the first calf, which means he was born on precisely the first day of the Hebrew year. So between the two of them they marked the Sabbath day of the year, the final Sabbath of the year, and the first day of the new year!”
Now onto the correlation between the births of the two calves and the two signs that marked the birth of the 2017 – 2014 Tribulation Timeline theory, namely, the Great Pyramid and the Revelation 12 Sign.
Just as the first calf was born on a September 20th ( 2014), the Sign of the Great Pyramid appeared on a September 20th ( exactly 3 Gregorian years later in 2017). On the very eve of the Great Pyramid Sign, the first day of Rosh Hashana began. The only distinction here lies in the fact that September 20th, 2014, ( the date of the birth of the calf ) did not land on the first day of Rosh Hashanah ( also known as Yom Teruah, and the Feast of Trumpets ).
Incredibly, however, the second calf was born precisely five days after the first on September 25, 2014, which marked the first day of Rosh Hashanah! So, just as two calves were used to pinpoint the two-day Feast of Trumpets in 2014, the two signs of the Great Pyramid and the Rev.12 Sign were used in 2017! But even more than that, considering the previous facts, is it not logical to say that the sign of the two calves were essentially pointing to the Feast of Trumpets in 2017? …. the decision is yours.
Psalm 90:12, “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.”
