Scientists have recently been excited by a “colossal” gamma-ray burst that has broken the record as “the most energetic ever detected, coming in at up to 18 teraelectronvolts.” This puts the gamma-ray burst of 2013, which we dubbed the sign of Jonah, into second place. The sign of Jonah was a very important sign, however, and this news arrived precisely when the sign of Jonah was beginning to shine brighter in the light of present truth, as conveyed in the following pages. God is revealing important truths through heavenly signs as He ordained from the beginning:

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs [Strong’s: signal, flag, beacon, omen, evidence, miracle, token], and for seasons, and for days, and years: (Genesis 1:14)

Did this new GRB come to overrule the sign of Jonah or to amplify it? What is its spiritual significance?

Those questions can only be answered after the GRB of 2013 is properly understood, so let us move one step at a time. God has sent the new GRB to cap the preceding articles in this series. God is finishing a work, and the light in this article affirms the promise given in the New Testament:

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: (Philippians 1:6)

In The Seven Lean Years, a renewed attempt was made to understand how the sign of Jonah could apply to the new span of time that had been granted by God in response to the sacrifice of Philadelphia. Seven years, subject to the will and infinite wisdom of God, had been requested in brotherly love. How could the petitioners know whether they had been granted exactly seven years, or whether this request would be shortened according to His foreknowledge of how much time would actually be needed for sealing all of the 144,000? Could the sign of Jonah indicate exactly when Jesus would come?

The idea was to consider whether the gamma-ray burst of April 27, 2013, which was on the ascent side of “Mt. Chiasmus,” might shine a spotlight on a particular date on the descent side. The following chart from The Seven Lean Years illustrates this hypothesis:

The GRB shining on the right side of the chart above pointed to April 27, 2019 as a High Sabbath, reflecting how the GRB of 2013 had originally come on a wave-sheaf Sabbath. In other words, April 27, 2019, was a kind of “shadow” of 2013.

In 2023, we have a unique cross that has been discovered in the Horologium constellation, indicating the resurrections and rapture as explained in United in the Tribulation Cross. Notice that the clock face resembles a spotlight with the “shadow” of the cross in its light. This is highly suggestive of the chart above, except the cross should be in the beam of the GRB.

We can accomplish this if we flatten “Mt. Chiasmus” into a straight linear timeline. Beginning at the left of the timeline is the then-brightest GRB ever recorded, dated April 27, 2013. At the end of the timeline is the cross in the Horologium constellation from March 5 to 12, 2023.

This results in a timeline of exactly 3600 days, inclusive, or ten prophetic days, from the 2013 GRB till the Smyrna point on the Horologium cross.

And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. (Revelation 2:8-11)

Similarly, in Gregorian terms, the time from Pope Francis’ election on March 13, 2013 (shortly before the GRB) until the end of the Horologium cross on March 12, 2023, is exactly ten full calendar years under his persecution.

The Bible affirms the timeline. However, the question is still unanswered: Where is the cross that is casting its shadow in the beam of GRB 130427? Our hypothesis is that by flattening “Mt. Chiasmus,” the sacrifice of Philadelphia (October 19, 2016) would represent the cross that casts its shadow on the Horologium face. Is there any evidence that this is the case?

If a person just looks at the time periods involved, something interesting can be found:

There are three and a half years from the beacon in the spring of 2013 till the sacrifice in the autumn of 2016, and almost double that time exists from the sacrifice of 2016 till the shadow in the Horologium cross. Wouldn’t it be more fitting if the time on the right were a full seven years?

Let’s draw it out:

Because the dates of the Horologium cross are a month earlier than the spring feasts, there are not six but seven months remaining till autumn of 2023, which would complete a full seven years.

And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. (Ezekiel 39:12)

So, there is indeed a doubling of the three and a half years between the lighthouse and the sacrifice of Philadelphia on the right side. Is there any more evidence that this is the correct way to understand the sign of Jonah, and that it really points to the coming of Jesus in the timeframe of March 5 to 12, 2023?

Remember, when a star collapses and produces a gamma-ray burst, there are two opposing jets of light shooting out from opposite poles, just as our lighthouse emits a beam of light in both directions. If we would draw this reflection, it could look something like this:

Now it gets even more fascinating! Notice that the light from GRB 130427A shining backwards illuminates the cross of Jesus, which casts its shadow back about twice as far again, reaching to the entrance of sin into the world. This confirms that the sacrifice of Philadelphia is indeed the sacrifice whose shadow appears in the Horologium cross, because it is precisely in the correct position in the beam of light—a perfect reflection of the cross of Jesus two thousand years ago, casting its shadow back to creation four thousand years before that.

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Revelation 13:8)

For those who want to study the date of creation and the fall of man, we recommend our articles Seven Steps to Eternity and The Great Seal, respectively. The following diagram appeared in the latter of the two:

Note the red arrow indicating the fall of man 66 years and 6 months after creation. If we include that period on the timeline as well, then we have a complete picture from the moment the first man received the breath of life, to the moment the last mortal dies on this earth.

Complementary to the entrance of sin into the world is the coming of Jesus, at which point the saints are delivered from sin’s physical presence. We can also see from this diagram that Christ is all in all—He is the light of the world, represented by the lighthouse in the center.

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. (John 1:9)

Then, following the beams of light outward are two crosses: the cross of Jesus, which is the burden that Divinity bore in order to redeem man, and corresponding to it on the other side is the willing sacrifice of created beings who lay everything on the altar in response to such love. Together, the plan of salvation is complete.

DNA Replication

The record-setting GRB of 2013 perfectly marks the beginning of the replication of the character of Jesus Christ in His people, and shows that when the shadow of the cross is reached on March 5 to 12, 2023, the transcription will have been completed and Christ will be able to return for His children—all those who are willing to sacrifice everything for Him (Smyrna and Philadelphia) and take up their cross with Him.

Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own. {LDE 39.2}

From the beginning of creation, God endowed man with perfect DNA, representing a spotless character, but ever since sin entered the world, the human race has been slowly degenerating and the DNA has accumulated more and more defects and the life force has become weaker and weaker. Today, mankind takes supplemental DNA into the body, introducing man-made genetic code in addition to a system that is already greatly compromised in comparison to how God created man in the beginning. This reckless treatment of the human machinery would only accelerate the death of the human race if time would continue.

However, as surely as body and mind are connected, so the physical characteristics of a person, which are determined by their DNA, are an object lesson for the truth that God wants everyone today to understand: that your beliefs—your mental genes—shape your character too. Through the Gene of Life, God has given an outline or creed that if followed, will foster the development of a sound mind that is fit for heaven and which will be able to withstand the forces that act against it, urging it to compromise what is right for convenience.

The feast days instituted by the Lord, with all their meat and drink offerings, were only a vehicle to encode the knowledge of the sacrificial character of Jesus Christ. In the time of the judgment, the holy days and Sabbath days of which Paul spoke gave rise to the Gene of Life, which expresses that same sacrificial character.

Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. (Colossians 2:16-17)

It was a foreshadowing of truth to come, and a foreshadowing of the greatest test that humanity would ever face. And now, as we embark upon the seventh millennium, we enter the great Sabbath of rest with our Lord, of which Paul also spoke, saying:

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. (Hebrews 4:1)

What other promise of rest could Paul have been referring to that he, as a Christian Jew, did not already possess? He could only have been referring to the millennial rest, which Joshua’s leading of Israel into the Promised Land foreshadowed:

For if Jesus [Joshua] had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. (Hebrews 4:8-9)

The Sabbath rest that awaits the people of God is therefore not the annual feast-day sabbaths, nor the seventh-day Sabbath, but the great millennial Sabbath of the seventh millennium.

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (2 Peter 3:8)

This is the promised rest, which Paul furthermore ties to the original creation week:

For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. (Hebrews 4:10)

If those who enter into this great “rest” also cease from their own works, as God did from His, then what does this say about vaccination with manmade genetic material? Is the striving of mankind for the knowledge to heal the body through reprogramming of the genes an act of rest, or the dawning of an entirely new field of labor? Is it trusting in God who declared man perfect and complete through His own act of ceasing from His work on the seventh day? Those who have gone down the path of genetic manipulation have not understood the Sabbath. They have come short of entering the promised rest.

And now the question arises: Should the seventh-day Sabbath be binding as a yoke upon the children of God, if for six millennia its purpose was to be a sign between God and His children, and those very ones who have “kept” it have come short of entering the millennial rest? Keeping the Sabbath holy is fulfilled by remembering God’s perfect work of creation and keeping that holy by resting from all human efforts to strive for eternal health and life.

The sacrificial character of Jesus Christ was not so. The One most entitled to life and happiness—the One who was life—was the most willing to lay it down for the benefit of others. Do we then cling so hard to that precious gift as if we could sustain our own life, instead of resting in communion with the Lord for every moment the Lifegiver offers us?

In the fateful year of 1888 that you have seen marked in the Gene of Life, the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists rejected the Holy Spirit because they sensed that the message of righteousness by faith, as brought by Jones and Waggoner, would lead to a disregard for the Sabbath, for if man is justified by faith and not by the law, and if the law in Galatians included the Ten Commandments,^[1] then keeping the Sabbath would justify no one. (See Wikipedia’s section “Open confrontation” on this topic.) This scenario has now been proven by those who vaccinated themselves out of the bloodline of Christ while professedly keeping the Sabbath. The Sabbath did not justify them, and on the other side of the same coin, those who honored God by keeping their DNA holy have been accepted by God, justified by faith.

Folks, we have reached our “1890.”^[2] Here in the third year of the coronavirus crisis, we’ve nearly finished our “triplet” and returned to the borders of Canaan. We have held our General Conferences and have accepted the messages of the Holy Spirit. Let us now enter into His rest. The great lighthouse of God shines its light from Eden to Eden Restored, and those who walk in His light will not stumble, for Jesus is their Light.

The unprecedented flash of GRB 130427A shined from the constellation of Leo, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. As Jesus roamed this earth as our King, He said the following profound words:

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. (John 12:32)

This is understood to refer to the manner in which Jesus was killed. He was lifted up on the cross like the serpent in the wilderness, and by first loving us, His example has won our hearts and inspired the same love in us. This is shown by the lighthouse, which is itself like a cross, with the vertical tower and the horizontal light beams.

If we replace this heavenly GRB in the constellation of Leo with a picture of Jesus, high and lifted up, we see once more that He is all in all, and that from His hands flow all the blessings of eternity past and future.

And his brightness was as the light; he had horns [Strong’s: rays] coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power. (Habakkuk 3:4)

Do you see how His sacrifice and man’s sacrifice, which were put into the spotlight by the selfsame Lion of the tribe of Judah, have to do with the replication of the gene of life? In the beginning God made Adam and Eve with perfect DNA, and now we—through knowing and internalizing the pillars of faith—can through the Holy Spirit regenerate our spiritual DNA. The human experience with sin began on the left side with the first animal sacrifice, foreshadowing Jesus, and until we reach the end on the right side, we still depend on His precious sacrifice to keep us from sin by faith. Even forever after the controversy is finished, all the universe will always know that it was through Jesus that all creation lived in perfect harmony before sin entered and will again live in perfect peace after sin has been eradicated.

Just as the beam of the lighthouse goes round and round and round, the light shines on both crosses—both sacrifices—at all times. This highlights the two-party nature of the everlasting covenant. As the universe is expanding, this light from both sacrifices is flooding the entire universe. In other words, the 144,000 will be traveling with Jesus every week, every Sabbath, to a different galaxy and spreading the light of Jesus, who is the Center. In this way, sin will not enter the universe a second time, because humans who experienced sin and were healed from it will ever be spreading the antidote to sin that is encoded in the very genes of their character. Like the white blood cells that have already been activated in the past and still remember in their DNA the remedy for the virus that once infected the body, the 144,000 will ever be ready to dispatch their antibodies against sin so that the universe never suffers its malady again.

The Creation Account

The record-setting GRB 130427A is said to have been about 3.6 billion light years away.^[3] It is interesting that this number resembles so closely the familiar biblical three and a half years or three and a half days that appear so frequently. Modern science finds that the first life on earth came into existence at exactly that age:^[4] the first microorganisms. But can the scientists explain what significance this has?

The Christian alone can make the right use of knowledge. Science, in order to be fully appreciated, must be viewed from a religious standpoint. Then all will worship the God of science. The heart which is ennobled by the grace of God can best comprehend the real value of education. The attributes of God as seen in His created works can be appreciated only as we have a knowledge of the Creator. {1MCP 16.3}

About 3.5 billion years ago, GRB 130427A lit up and shined its powerful beam directly at the earth, exactly as the Bible records it:

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (Genesis 1:1-3)

The light on the first day of creation was not from the sun (which was created later on the fourth day). It was a different light—one which the beloved apostle describes exactly as we have explained it above:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:1-5)

Jesus was the Light, and now we know that the very beacon that puts His cross and the sacrifice of Philadelphia in the spotlight represents Him as the Word that was first spoken in the creation of the earth. This Word is of that same primordial Breath or Spirit that moved upon the face of the waters, of which the icy comets of the Oort cloud still remain (and still speak) as explained in The Comet of Time and the Meaning of Life.

Does this negate a literal six-day creation? By no means. It only shows us once more that God is Time—that the Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent literally created this world in six days, but in those six days He did the work of 3.6 billion years! But what is six days for one who compasses all time and space in a thought? He ignited the gamma-ray burst in one part of the universe and immediately outran it to create life on earth—and only as of 2013 (6049 years after he first lived on the earth) has the Light finally reached man’s eyes and heart.

It was that year—2013—that our beloved brother, John Scotram, demonstrated what was perhaps the most important lesson in the love of Christ that the few brethren who were then living with him on his farm would ever experience. I was among them, and I will never forget when my dear brother, Gerhard, came from Brother John’s house, obviously deeply moved in his heart as he proceeded to talk with us. It was a terrible time; there had been a rebellion, and the group members were talking of disbanding and departing. Brother Gerhard had spoken to Brother John and his heart had been opened. Now he had come to help the rest of us to see the rebellion against God for what it was, and to see who was truly acting as God’s representative. In the midst of this rebellion, as it seemed utterly hopeless to prevent the group from falling apart, Brother John had approached the throne of God to offer his own eternal life for the sake of the group. I will never forget the warmth that melted my heart and won my loyalty forever, as the light of Christ’s love flooded my soul that day.

It took 6049 years of human history for the Light of creation 3.6 billion light-years distant to finally reach the hearts of the men of this generation. Yes, some individuals of past ages have also demonstrated such a willingness—Moses, Paul, for example—but never since the cross of Christ had such sacrificial love become a foundational part of a movement of believers—encapsulated in their vows and put into practice by the entire church in the sacrifice of Philadelphia. The church of Christ was founded on His victory, but now it has made His strength its own.

That is why the year 2013 marks the beginning of the replication of the character of Christ in His people—a work that is now complete. The former church has given birth to its heir; the remnant of her seed has kept the trust. We are not a breakaway from Seventh-day Adventism but the true remnant of God who have received the Holy Spirit in the latter rain.

And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 12:17)

Those who rejected the light from heaven are the de facto breakaways, no matter how large their numbers. It is the faith of Jesus practiced in the life of the believer that fulfills the law of God. Those who walk in the light will not stumble, but those who reject the light will never be seen again.

While I was praying at the family altar, the Holy Ghost fell upon me, and I seemed to be rising higher and higher, far above the dark world. I turned to look for the Advent people in the world, but could not find them, when a voice said to me, “Look again, and look a little higher.” At this I raised my eyes, and saw a straight and narrow path, cast up high above the world. On this path the Advent people were traveling to the city, which was at the farther end of the path. They had a bright light set up behind them at the beginning of the path, which an angel told me was the midnight cry. This light shone all along the path and gave light for their feet so that they might not stumble. If they kept their eyes fixed on Jesus, who was just before them, leading them to the city, they were safe. But soon some grew weary, and said the city was a great way off, and they expected to have entered it before. Then Jesus would encourage them by raising His glorious right arm, and from His arm came a light which waved over the Advent band, and they shouted, “Alleluia!” Others rashly denied the light behind them and said that it was not God that had led them out so far. The light behind them went out, leaving their feet in perfect darkness, and they stumbled and lost sight of the mark and of Jesus, and fell off the path down into the dark and wicked world below. {EW 14.1}

The midnight cry of Ellen G. White’s time was the historical beginning of the transcription of the High Sabbath List, or Gene of Life,^[5] but the ultimate fulfillment of the prophecy above did not come until its replication began in 2013. That is when the bright light—the lighthouse—was set up behind us at the beginning of this path of the true midnight cry that leads to the coming of Jesus.

This is a beautiful confirmation of the Horologium clock. When K2 enters the shadow of the cross, the multiplication of the replicated gene will be completed. Jesus is really coming now—in the spring of 2023—and not in the fall (in October of 2023). This wonderful light shows once more that it is very important not to forget the past. The history of our movement is precious. Treasure it. Replicate the DNA of Jesus Christ in your own life. Don’t deny the light, but live it out and tell your loved ones, your friends, your neighbors—everybody. Wake up and reach out in your area. If you do nothing, the Lord will do nothing for you, but as you move, He will move.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)

The King of Heaven

On October 9, 2022, the record for brightest GRB ever recorded was shattered. Does this new beacon, GRB 221009A, dubbed BOAT for “brightest of all time,” confer yet more significance to the lighthouse of April 27, 2013?

One of the things that has scientists excited about this new burst is the fact that it physically affected the earth by disrupting the ionosphere and interfering with long-wave radio transmissions. This is remarkable, considering the gamma-ray burst’s great distance from earth, estimated at around 2 billion light-years. This is closer than the 3.6 billion light years of the 2013 gamma-ray burst, but still nowhere near our neighborhood. Betelgeuse, for example, is only hundreds of lightyears away; it is now proven that a gamma-ray burst at that close range would be an ELE (extinction level event) as described in The Wrath of God.

The location of the October 9, 2022 gamma-ray burst is also significant. It is in the constellation of Sagitta, but visually it appears to be closer to the form of the eagle:

This means that whereas the 2013 GRB represented Jesus as the King of the earth—coming from the constellation of Leo, connected with His first advent when He walked the earth—this 2022 GRB represents Jesus as the King of heaven, as He is coming in the clouds of heaven as described in Revelation 19.

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war…. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King of kings, and Lord of lords. (Revelation 19:11, 16)

These two constellations of these two brightest gamma-ray bursts of all time—the constellations Leo and Aquila—have tremendous significance. These are two of the four cardinal constellations, both representing Jesus in royal majesty. By contrast, the other two (Taurus, the calf, and Aquarius, the man) both represent Jesus in humiliation. Thus, the two brightest GRBs on record are signaling His coming in majesty.

Once more, Jesus is lifted up. Once more, He draws all men to Him. He is not now lifted up as a serpent in a wilderness but as the victorious King of kings and Lord of lords.

In the video The Heavenly Notary certifies the Second Coming, the compass directions are associated with these two cardinal constellations based on the layout of the tribes of ancient Israel. The lion was on the standard of the tribe of Judah, which camped in the east, while the eagle was on the standard of the tribe of Dan, which camped in the north. This has sensational implications with respect to the prophecy of the king of the north in the book of Daniel:

But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. (Daniel 11:44-45)

Satan knows that he has a short time, because he understands the meaning of the signs in the heavens. Ever since Pope Francis (Satan incarnate) was elected on March 13, 2013 and the eye-wateringly bright GRB of April 27, 2013 flared shortly thereafter, he has been aware of the tidings out of the east. Now, the tidings have also come out of the north, troubling him. And the GRB of October 9, 2022, comes shortly after another important figure takes his throne: this time it is King Charles III, who ascended the throne on September 8, just one month prior.

According to the prophecy, this means Satan will now go forth with great fury. Is this not what we see in revelations like this one: Is Lisa Haven Going To Jail?! After You See This FBI Contract You Won’t Be Laughing! The video details how the FBI^[6] is using AI to monitor social media platforms in multiple languages, aggregating the data in real-time to provide it to the fingertips of FBI agents. Even so much as a smile or frown reaction on someone else’s content can result in your profile being linked to FBI investigations. And the name of the software? “Babel X.” It is the tower of Babel all over again—without language barriers, just total surveillance from the top of the high tower of Babylon the Great.^[7] The Roman numeral X signifies the number 10, like the ten years of Smyrna’s tribulation under Pope Francis, which has now reached the top.

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. (Isaiah 14:13-15)

The rumor from the north, from the true King of the North—the Eagle, Jesus Christ—speaks of His coming and the destruction of the wicked. While He has His children under His wing, the fact that GRB 221009A happened in the constellation of Sagitta, meaning “arrow,” has important significance. On the one hand, in The Wrath of God series, specifically in The Sign of Jonah, the arrow was shown to be associated with Orion, which is depicted with drawn bow. In other words, the GRB in Sagitta means that the arrow has left the bow and the wrath of God is inescapable. However, the historical association of the constellation Sagitta is not with Orion, but with Sagittarius. Constellations of Words explains the following:

An arrow is a pointed projectile that is shot with a bow and penetrates a distant target. Sagitta is the constellation of the arrow, and Sagittarius is the bow or Archer.

Sagittarius, the “shooter,” is depicted as a horse—similar to the white horse of Revelation 6:

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (Revelation 6:2)

Notice here that the rider on the white horse only has a bow, but the arrow is not mentioned. In Revelation 19, Jesus is also described coming on a white horse, which is likewise symbolized by Sagittarius. With the GRB in Sagitta, however, we now have the arrow of Sagittarius flying as Jesus fights against the wicked. The Bible describes this symbolically as follows:

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. (Revelation 19:15)

It is well known that as a star burns, the last element produced in its fusion chain reaction is iron. Iron is therefore the predominant element when the star goes supernova and a GRB is produced. In other words, the gamma-ray burst is symbolized by the “rod of iron” that the Bible speaks of, which signals Christ’s rule as He smites the nations at His coming.

This is the arrow, or the sharp sword, which is said to come “out of His mouth.” This is perfectly depicted in the heavens as the GRB’s location is such that it is seen coming out of the mouth of the eagle (see picture above).

In conclusion, God has now given us a second witness through this second GRB flash of unprecedented brightness. We could compare the two GRBs as follows:

It was an open question as to whether the sacrifice of Philadelphia had been enough, and whether the gene replication of the past ten years was sufficient. Was it really our cross that was casting its shadow on the Horologium face, or was a future sacrifice casting its shadow backwards into our view? Did the 144,000 who had been sealed in the time we bought do their work of turning many to righteousness, or was a work still to be done before Jesus could come?

The gamma-ray burst of October 9, 2022, has given a second witness to the coming of Christ. It testifies that the replication of Christ’s character in His people is complete, and that the time for Christ’s return has come. Together, these two GRBs are two heavenly witnesses, two candlesticks shining their beams of light onto the time of Christ’s return, as indicated by the two heavenly bodies in the Horologium constellation.

The word of God is sure, and His promises stand even to the end of the world. Let us also stand firm on His promise to protect His children under His wing, who have His DNA. During the troublous time that is upon us, let none of His children give in to the pressures that will come. Hold on to the promise of a prompt deliverance and keep yourself undefiled in character as well as in your physical DNA.

With the DNA replication complete as signaled by GRB 221009A, the church has successfully overcome death. Yea, though she dies—as in the example of the Seventh-day Adventist Church whose experience God used to teach the lessons of His love—she has given birth to a son to live after her, who is heir to salvation and in whom Christ’s life is multiplied. The life of faith in Christ and obedience to His law will continue:

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (Revelation 14:12)

The Light of God is not quenched; the Light of the church of Smyrna (the dead in Christ) and of Philadelphia (a living sacrifice in Christ) will shine until the dawning of the eternal day.

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (2 Peter 1:16-21)

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:12-13)
