Reading the stories and prophecies in the Bible, one may sometimes feel a separation from those ancient words and our modern experience. But as we approach the very last moments on earth, we are often surprised at how literally they fulfill and how personal they become. This article will tell such a story as well as explain how the book of seven seals is finally completely opened. It is a great culmination and beautiful crown of all studies. Nevertheless, the story surrounding it was not all joy and contains some important lessons as well. The church of Philadelphia is a church of brotherly love on the journey to the heavenly Canaan—we are a family that has grown together since the Orion presentation in 2010, and the prophecies and warnings applicable to this church are felt throughout this little family, each known by name, spread through the earth though we are.
Scattered abroad, several of our members gathered together when the Lord gave us a last call to flee the cities in September 2020. Before long, however, vaccination laws made it unwise to remain where they were, so, with the help of the church, they relocated to a nation with less stringent Covid requirements. We had considered whether they should join us in Paraguay, though we lack the space, but just as we did—even on the very same day we discussed the matter—this nation made it mandatory to be vaccinated in order to enter. The door to Paraguay was thus closed.
So, this group from our community was called to leave their once secure residence and travel from “camp to camp” since mid-January 2022, from nation to nation where they were allowed to enter without Covid vaccination and stay as tourists for a time, limited to a greater or lesser extent in each country. This group became a symbol for our wilderness wandering since the “exodus trumpet” of Hunga Tonga had sounded on January 15.
When we were nearing the Jordan camp of our spiritual wilderness wandering that has been documented in our Final Observations, however, Paraguay once again began to permit unvaccinated individuals to enter with a negative Covid test result, and ultimately, the changing circumstances led to us extending them an offer to stay on the farm. Early Friday morning, May 6, 2022, they arrived at the farm and spent the day preparing their abode—rather primitive quarters in need of repair, as we have very limited space available. Thus, our group of 7 adults in Paraguay gained five more, for a total of 12 adults. We pondered on the significance of this Biblical number. At the beginning of his ministry, Brother John had a dream in which Jesus called on him to “Find the twelve!” Were we finally seeing a fulfillment of that?
On the day of their arrival, it was suggested that we should have an evening service in our newly renovated quincho to welcome the Sabbath. The theme was one that we had already learned a couple of days prior on May 4, but it was new for our brethren.
We had recently received a dream from Brother Aquiles, which told us about a work of processing data that pointed us to the beginning of the millennial judgment, as we wrote about. But we recognized that this dream also has a more personal application, particularly to those in our ministry who receive money from us, but apparently just “pretend to work” in God’s eyes, without really bringing in fruit for the Lord or making any repairs to the breach.
In the WorkshopDream of Brother AquilesApril 25, 2022
I am in a workshop where things are repaired; on that day I see many people around me who are pretending to be working to justify to their bosses that they deserve to be paid. I feel a bit bad because I don’t like being in a place doing nothing and getting paid pretending I’m doing something.
Brother Aquiles, however, represents those who feel “a bit bad” about that situation. He is not happy to be pretending, and would like to change the situation, to do sincere work.
At a certain moment there is a rumor, and everyone mobilizes because the boss of the workshop is arriving, and I am waiting for the boss to give the orders of what to do.
Jesus is the boss in this workshop, and upon hearing a rumor that He is coming (i.e., not the correct rapture date), a certain group among us who has been paid by us, “mobilized.” It was on May 3, exactly when we had no direction on the coming time, that five among our little church were invited to “mobilize” to Paraguay. The brethren could have given up their faith. They could have turned away in frustration as many have done before when faced with disappointments in the struggle to understand the mystery of God. In fact, God arranged the circumstances such that they would be directly tested, because Brother John, at one time during a heated exchange in the planning, advised them to go back to their homeland, refusing to have them come to Paraguay.
But they would not let go and with an apology, expressed their desire to come, despite the offer having been rescinded, and despite not having the assurance of a clear knowledge of the time.
He turns to me and tells me to get moving, that we have to get the job done and apparently, we have to go somewhere else. I know we don’t have to carry things like a ladder, but I do know that we are going to need a cable that is not an electrical extension as what we are going to process is data and so I think it must be a cable that is enabled to separate its terminals that process data, like the USB extension for a PC.
Now as we look back at this dream, we can see that the PanSTARRS ladder doesn’t have to be carried, simply because its time has passed. The PanSTARRS comet has exited Taurus as of May 3, and the ladder sign has served its purpose. The rapture possibility for that time was invalidated, because Jesus was compelled to use the second Passover again like Hezekiah, because the priests and authors were not ready at the first possibility.
We understand that the work to be done in another location according to the dream is about the millennial judgment. That is the only further work to be done. It was only after all was decided about the trip of the brethren to Paraguay and the flights were booked, that Brother John received the understanding that was shared in Brother Robert’s post, called Judgment in the Millennium! (If you haven’t read that post yet, please do so now, before continuing!)
The idea that all the redeemed serve as judges in this judgment comes from the easily-to-be-misunderstood words of Paul:
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? (1 Corinthians 6:2-3)
Paul was admonishing the church about going to court for matters that should be resolved within the church. He was not giving an account of the details of who would serve in the judgment. Indeed, the judges are among the saints, which class Paul referred to as “you” and “we,” but pointed forward to the only group at the end of time who could be qualified for such service. It is the same as when he said, “we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together” in the rapture, yet Paul is dead and did not live to be one of those who are alive and remain, though that was his expectation. How could Paul judge those in this generation, having no experience comparable to theirs!?
A judge must have the experience necessary in order to be qualified for their role. How can one of the common YouTube prophets, who never looked up to discern the heavens, judge over those who had a deeper experience than themselves? A judge must understand the full application of the law and have a full experience in order to give good judgment.
Nowhere does the Bible indicate that 144,000 thrones are ever set for the judgment. It does, however, mention 24 elders who sat on thrones, as described in the throne room vision of Revelation 4-5 (where Brother John “randomly” opened the Bible to in a morning service with the brethren, when they arrived.
In a circle around the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on those thrones were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white clothing and had golden crowns on their heads. (Revelation 4:4 NET)
Could it be that with the arrival of the additional members making twelve adults, half of the circle of elders was completed? These are separate from the 144,000—a special group who were seen in vision to be closest to Jesus. They are described as those once zealously following Satan’s lead, but who turned to Jesus with deep devotion.
And where are the missing elders to complete the circle of 24? The answer comes from Jesus’ own words about His disciples in response to Peter’s inquiry:
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Matthew 19:27-28)
Could it be that Peter himself will sit with the first disciples of Jesus, while our “Peter”, Brother John sits with the last disciples to complete the 24 elders? The Lord gives a high honor to those who have left all and followed Him. Interestingly, it was the apostle John who received the Revelation after the other disciples had given their lives, while Brother John has deciphered it as the others around him gave their lives in service. By combining Revelation’s throne-room imagery with Jesus’ insight that His nearest disciples would sit on thrones of judgment, we can infer who the other set of twelve are.
The day that our brethren arrived was May 6, 2022—exactly 10 years from when we believed that the judgment of the living would begin (May 6, 2012). It was part of our Final Warning series. God was in need of witnesses for Him, just as the first twelve who were closest to Jesus were to be witnesses for Him.
Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained [to replace Judas] to be a witness with us of his resurrection. (Acts 1:21-22)
This circle of elders must understand how God judges according to the law in various precedent cases. These must see God’s word by faith, seeing not just literal symbols like “the sun entering Taurus” but understand what God speaks with those symbols in light of His word: “a loud voice proclaiming, ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega!’” As we sat in the quincho, an outsider would see us sitting on purple (!) plastic chairs in a semicircle, but by faith, we see elders seated on twelve royal thrones with golden crowns on their heads!
As we deciphered in Judgment in the Millennium, the millennial judgment was given unto us when we had our first service in the newly renovated quincho on April 27 and we sat under the sign depicting the judgment of Joshua, the high priest, and the clean, white garments that were given to him, as well as a miter or crown.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by. (Zechariah 3:7)
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (Revelation 20:4)
Note well that the 24 elders are depicted as wearing crowns, and the judges reign with Christ, which also infers that they have crowns, showing their authority to reign! We will see later when those crowns were received, but note to whom a warning is given about a crown:
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. (Revelation 3:11)
If you think it self-aggrandization to say that we are crowned, consider these words of Jesus! He warns the church of Philadelphia to hold tightly to their crown, because crowns were obviously given to them before the rapture! It must therefore be from among this church, that the end-time judges are chosen! Philadelphia stands among the virgins who follow the Lamb wherever He goes—the 144,000 who do not taste death.
One of the most well-known parables of Jesus is that of the ten virgins—a small subset of the 144,000 like Philadelphia. The parable illustrates the difference between those who hold tightly to their crown—their golden ticket—and those who do not cherish it, but let another steal it from them.
Little did we realize that Jesus’ insightful little illustration was to be directly fulfilled in front of our very eyes in Paraguay! The ticket to the marriage supper of the Lamb is the full proclamation of the time from the eruption of Hunga Tonga that thundered the voice of God and the cross sign (the tav) began until the end, when the Good Shepherd’s lamed staff bridges the gap to Taurus (the aleph) where the Bridegroom (the sun) opens the glittering gates of the Holy city on the anniversary of His crucifixion, concluding the sign that began with the cross. This is your crown, dear Philadelphia! Let no man take it from you by undercutting your faith in the time that it points to!
The parable has a terrible end for the foolish virgins who had no reserve portion of oil. Hold the faith! Years ago, Brother John made a call for those who were preparing to meet the Bridegroom to help him on the farm in Paraguay. Several came, and some left, and we are in the seventh year since our little family has remained at seven adults—Brother John, his wife, Linda, and five who responded to his call and never left. Then on May 6, 2022, we received five more. We knew it would be a challenge to adapt, but what we discovered, no one expected.
On Sabbath, May 7, 2022, we met in the temple, full of joy that our central study table was finally filled! We always longed to worship with more than our little family, and the difference was pronounced. However, the brethren were not yet informed about the light we had received in the previous days, and they struggled to follow. It was a major dilemma, because we couldn’t go forward with the beautiful message that Brother John wanted to present, on account of the lacking understanding.
Ultimately, it was decided to take the time to bring our new arrivals up to date in the knowledge, but just this took us well beyond our normal ending time for service. There was no time to present the new light. Therefore, in the evening, we met again to receive what promised to be the crown of all our studies! We were excitedly participating as Brother John began to lead us in understanding.
It was about the seven seals of Revelation—a theme that has been a point of disharmony with some of the YouTube prophets that we follow. We have long since understood that there were two fulfillments of the seals: the classical seals being opened from the apostolic times, when the pure gospel went forth like a white horse, making great conquest. As the centuries rolled by, the whole series of seals on the book of seven seals (except the seventh) could be easily deciphered by Christians. This was the writing on the outside of the book of seven seals, readable before the book was opened.
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within [i.e., sealed] and on the backside [openly readable], sealed with seven seals. (Revelation 5:1)
With the beginning of the Orion message, we began to unravel and understand the hidden writing. It was a dual fulfillment of the seal prophecies! The white horse of the purified gospel once again began to ride when the law of God was restored to the remnant of His people and the Sabbath truth was embraced in 1846. But again, the purity of the gospel message—now preached by the heralds of the three angels’ messages (of Revelation 14)—began to tarnish, and the process of decay led to the remnant people becoming characterized by Laodicea—rich and increased with prophetic goods, but destitute of clothing and the discerning eyesight of the Spirit. “The church cannot become Babylon,” they say, in direct contradiction to the words of Jesus, who says He will spew them out—utterly reject the whole church.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: (Revelation 3:16-17)
Six seals were opened in the time of the Christian church, but they could not see the seventh open—when there is about half an hour of silence in heaven because the heavenly host has come with Jesus and is bringing the redeemed “slowly” back on a seven-day travel to the Orion Nebula, before entering through the portal into the higher-dimensional universe of heaven. Then, six seals were again opened during the time of the Adventists since 1846 in the time of the judgment. Those are chronicled in the Orion message. But again, the seventh seal was not seen to have opened in the time of the Orion clock cycles of waiting and mercy.
Orion represents the sacrifice of Jesus—Alnitak, the Wounded One—and nine amazing cycles were discovered, which, combined with the crucifixion of Jesus Himself, count for the Ten Commandments broken by mankind, for which He gave His life. Then, on June 21, 2021, the Orion cycles of delay came to an end, and the comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein was discovered to have a cloudy coma surrounding its massive core the very next day on June 22, 2021. It had entered the royal clock constellation of Horologium, representing the change of roles of Jesus from High Priest to King. Because there has been enough time for another 259-day Orion cycle, we had considered whether there may have been a tenth cycle ending on March 7. There were some reasons to believe there could be one, but in hindsight, we never saw any conclusive events take place at the clock times it would have indicated. Thus, we can safely disregard that hypothetical cycle (which we never named).
Often, we anticipated where those seven days of travel to Orion in the seventh seal could fit within the Orion cycles, but ultimately, we never came to the silence in heaven of the seventh seal. It just didn’t fit properly in any clock. Could it be that there is yet a third sequence of seals opening, now that the 144,000 have all been sealed as of May 19, 2021, in the last Orion cycle? Could there be an explanation for the prophetic messages prevalent on YouTube that still said how the four horsemen were “about to ride” or “started to ride” when they had ridden twice already, for example? We must be careful not to despise prophesying solely because it seems to conflict with our own understanding. God always has surprising ways in which to harmonize true prophetic messages with His word in the Bible! (Only when a “prophecy” is obviously permeated with eastern esotericism, for example, one may recognize its dark source and safely dismiss it.)
Where would we look for such a final series of seals? Put another way, where have we been looking up to, especially in recent times? Could it be that in the constellations of the Mazzaroth, the clock of the Father, there is a period of time that depicts the opening of the seven seals?
As we pondered on that idea in our service, the first seal’s position was easily identified.
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)
Even many Christians recognize the white horse and his rider in Sagittarius. The wreathen crown is also depicted beside him—at his feet. We have always identified this as the fallen crown of apostate Protestantism. But for us, this constellation is especially significant, because it marks the beginning of the final rapid movements when the voice of God reverberated with atmospheric shockwaves that twice circled the planet!
Were there exactly 7 constellations from Sagittarius to Taurus? When the full group in the temple saw that there are but six, we immediately chimed in about the old lesson from The Grand Finale, near the beginning of our journey of understanding the Mazzaroth, and learned that sometimes it’s about a head count more than just the constellations themselves!
The only downside to the study so far was that our enthusiasm wasn’t shared by our newly arrived brethren. They sat expressionless, emotionless, and with frowning faces as they heard the same words that stirred our hearts. We frequently glanced around to see their expressions, but there were none. What was wrong? Did they not understand that this sign that we had spent intensive months elaborating, was the living crown that was given to them, just as it was written in the text, so they could later sit, crowned, on their thrones of judgment!?
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: … (Revelation 20:4)
The church of Philadelphia, which they were also a part of, had received crowns as we began to understand the voice of God through Hunga Tonga in January 2022! It makes the prophecy very personal. The crown that Protestantism lost in its apostasy was given to the little church of Philadelphia to send the white horse in the right direction. In Paraguay, we were even at our worship service on Sabbath, January 15, 2022, when we learned that the volcano had erupted high into the atmosphere (even reaching space), opening up into a round, crown-like cloud of ash, and we began to ponder what it could mean. That was a sign of the coronation of those who would sit on the thrones later on April 27, 2022, when we stood before the Lord.
It is sad indeed, if one cannot appreciate the solemn things of the cross. Hear the following words in the context of this heavenly cross:
Christ has shown that His love was stronger than death. He was accomplishing man’s salvation; and although He had the most fearful conflict with the powers of darkness, yet, amid it all, His love grew stronger and stronger. He endured the hiding of His Father’s countenance, until He was led to exclaim in the bitterness of His soul: “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” His arm brought salvation. The price was paid to purchase the redemption of man, when, in the last soul struggle, the blessed words were uttered which seemed to resound through creation: “It is finished.”
Many who profess to be Christians become excited over worldly enterprises, and their interest is awakened for new and exciting amusements, while they are coldhearted, and appear as if frozen, in the cause of God. Here is a theme, poor formalist, which is of sufficient importance to excite you. Eternal interests are here involved. Upon this theme it is sin to be calm and unimpassioned. The scenes of Calvary call for the deepest emotion. Upon this subject you will be excusable if you manifest enthusiasm. That Christ, so excellent, so innocent, should suffer such a painful death, bearing the weight of the sins of the world, our thoughts and imaginations can never fully comprehend. The length, the breadth, the height, the depth, of such amazing love we cannot fathom. The contemplation of the matchless depths of a Saviour’s love should fill the mind, touch and melt the soul, refine and elevate the affections, and completely transform the whole character. The language of the apostle is: “I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” We also may look toward Calvary and exclaim: “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” {2T 212.2-212.3}
How exactly do those words portray what we saw at the Lord’s study table: “they are coldhearted, and appear as if frozen, in the cause of God.” Even the most introverted and quiet among us were joyful as we eagerly proceeded through the study, which elicited many “wows” from our lips, but our new arrivals were “as if frozen”—unmoved and emotionless. Had they lost their crown, not keeping the faith until the end of this wondrous sign? We could not understand their expressionlessness. We had conversed with them before about common matters at the lunch table, but this frozen coldness before the heavenly cross was an unpleasant and incomprehensible sight.
Nevertheless, Brother John continued the study with the second seal:
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. (Revelation 6:3-4)
It is not difficult to understand what war is referenced in this last instance of the second seal. It is in the daily headlines with a counter pointing to its beginning on February 24, 2022. Does this confirm the idea with the constellations? Where was the sun on that date?
It was in Aquarius.
We would need it to be in Capricornus to fit with the idea of constellation creatures corresponding to the seven seals. Should we dismiss the idea, or put a little effort into understanding how it might yet be referring to an earlier date, even though the war started while the sun was in Aquarius? We looked again for a clue in the verse, and soon we found it:
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. (Revelation 6:4)
The verse speaks only indirectly about the war that “should kill” yet in the future, because the power was only given to him when this seal was opened. Satan is the instigator of all rebellion, the father of lies, and he is represented in Capricornus as the backdrop to that which led to the war against Ukraine. It was at this point that Brother John asked us what it was that happened just before the war. In a moment, we recalled the Russian military exercises and extensive amassing of troops along the Ukrainian border, while Putin lied through his teeth, that he had no plans to invade the country. This was so prominent in the news, it was hard to avoid.
France 24 – Russia launches new military drills near Ukraine, in annexed Crimea
With the West already accusing Russia of massing more than 100,000 soldiers on the Ukrainian border, the Russian military said it had launched drills involving 6,000 troops in the south and in the Crimean peninsula annexed by Moscow in 2014.
This news (dated January 25) was a prominent theme all during the time when the sun was in Capricornus, with the last exercises beginning on February 10, 2022:
The Wall Street Journal – Russia’s Massive Military Drills on Ukraine Border Stir Invasion Fears
Russia kicked off large-scale military exercises in Belarus on its western borders with Poland and Lithuania and along its southern flank near Ukraine, an escalation of the standoff between Moscow and Western powers and a possible precursor to a Russian invasion of a smaller neighbor.
These events, generally, were well-known to anyone who looked at any amount of world news during that time, but our sleeping brethren seemed rather ignorant of what had been happening in the world! How can a High Sabbath Adventist not be watching the news? A watchman must WATCH, or he is no watchman at all! They had time to watch and study on their months-long journey from AirBnB to AirBnB, but it was wasted. Such behavior showed just a pretending to work for the Lord, but not the behavior of genuine High Sabbath Adventists.
Jesus gives the warning in summary of the parable of the ten virgins, saying:
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. (Matthew 25:13)
If one does not watch, how will they learn the day and the hour? If they do not see what is happening in the world that leads to the fulfillment of prophecy, how will their faith be strengthened!?
If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. (Revelation 3:3)
Now the truth was beginning to come out. Those who had continued in the great light of this message, but didn’t watch, were in danger to lose their faith. Now that the resultant deficiency had come to light, it was impossible to continue to study with them. Their blank, glazed faces betrayed the fact that they were too unprepared to appreciate the message. It was becoming increasingly clear that in their cold formalism, they had lost their first love. For them, instead of being strengthened by each new and more glorious proclamation as the words of God rolled through the earth, they seemed to fall into unbelief and saw merely cold recalculations. One had even offered his own bizarre idea that would do violence to the unbroken chain of 1260+372+51 portions from the great wonder of the sign of the woman nearly five years earlier until May 3, 2022, and he put some portions at a future date. Doing this shows no appreciation for the message that at the end of those portions, it was the END OF THE WAITING TIME for the SOLUTION TO THE MYSTERY OF God!
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound [with Venus on May 4, 2022], the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. (Revelation 10:7)
They apparently did not have any reserve oil for their lamps, so when the oil from the daily rations ran out on May 3, they had nothing to keep their lamps burning.
Only the lamp of the wise, with the additional oil is able to burn until the end when the Bridegroom receives them in the cloud:
Do you have the reserve oil that we received on May 4, 2022, to keep your lamp burning until the rapture on May 18, 2022? It is represented by the manna that has been hidden for thousands of years in the Ark of God Do you believe that this is the last portion of oil to see you through, or do you doubt in your mind, imagining that there will continue to be more “rapture watch” dates to come? This is the end of the voice from Hunga Tonga that announced the day and hour. With this article sealing our journey, we terminate our publication ministry.
The millstone was cast into the sea when Hunga Tonga erupted, and with this reserve vessel of oil, the reverberations will come to their end as the Bridegroom Himself (represented by the sun) catches up to the comet’s path, never to cross it again.
Ultimately, because of the problems that their lack of preparedness created, the five new arrivals were asked to leave the temple. It was only after they left that the insight came to Brother John as to what had just taken place before our eyes. Five virgins of Philadelphia were sent out, and five remained with him (his wife, Sister Linda was not present, and they don’t count because together, they are the landlords who invited the virgins). It was the voice of the second Miller who has been giving the midnight cry since he began to prophesy again.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. (Matthew 25:8-9)
We realized that if we were to take the time to go through all the basics with the brethren that they needed to bring them up to speed, we would not have sufficient time to bring the light into printed form. As it is, we are hard-pressed to finish in time! We would like to give of our oil, but it is a personal experience. Nevertheless, the Lord does not quench even the smoldering flax, but will fan it to reignite the flame if it is possible. He alone knows the hearts of men.
We had also received two warning dreams regarding these brethren, and one was even directly connected to the parable of the foolish virgins, when the Bridegroom denies having a knowledge of them. The dream had said, “I would like to get to know more of the family,” implying what Jesus said of those family members who were not ready:
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. (Matthew 25:11-12)
Does the Lord know you? Do you hear His voice and heed His warnings? Or do you take Him lightly, and feel at liberty to presumptuously force His words into the mold of your own ideas? Such do not hold fast to their crown, and thus lose it.
Our hearts were torn after unexpectedly experiencing the “parable” of the beloved, but foolish virgins going out from us, but it was clear that it wasn’t going to work with them present. Soon, we resumed the simple, but profound study of the new series of seals that began with these great signs following each other in quick succession since the eruption of Hunga Tonga, when the little community of Philadelphia, now crowned, went forth on January 15, 2022, to conquer Babylon. This time, it will be conquered, because Jesus’ bride has made herself ready.
Therefore shall her [Babylon’s] plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. (Revelation 18:8)
Wasn’t the second seal study a fitting moment for the separation of the virgins, being that it stands mostly for “war between brethren,” like it did in the classical and Orion seal cycles?
As the white horse continued to conquer, the second seal opened as the sun passed through Capricornus, representing that Jesus had authorized that power would be given to the red horse rider, by which he would soon make war. Now it is clear who the rider of that war-horse is: Vladimir Putin, and his sword is depicted in the sign by the great sword of the cross, but on earth, the great massing of huge numbers of troops at the Ukraine border was his great sword.
Once the war began on February 24 in the time of the third seal, the economic sanctions against Russia were swift and severe. But they also had undesirable effects on the economies of nations outside of Russia! Thus, the third seal speaks of famine and the economic hardship of monetary inflation:
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. (Revelation 6:5-6)
When you “come and see” what is in Aquarius, you find that the pair of balances is depicted figuratively by the yoke that is balanced on his shoulders. The high prices in the biblical text correspond to the record-high inflation and economic woes brought on by the war. The massive financial support that was promised to Ukraine has added a new burden to the money-printing machines, and fighting inflation became the number-one theme for the US and EU nations!
Furthermore, Ukraine is a huge exporter of wheat and grain, and Russia has stolen an estimated 400,000 tons of grain since the invasion began—an induced famine that is likened to the Holodomor of the 1930s that the clock of God pointed to.
So far, the seals have a great fit between the heavenly symbolism and the earthly events. But what does it mean that the oil and wine are not to be hurt? Oil is a symbol for the Holy Spirit, represented by the water in Aquarius that flows from the Father. Those who received the Holy Spirit, those who benefitted from the Latter Rain, are protected. And wine? In the present context, it is a reference to the wine of the wrath of God! There is no stopping God’s wrath now. It will continue to be poured out, just as Putin has avowed not to relent until he meets his military goals.
Then when the Lamb opened the fourth seal I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come!” So I looked and here came a pale green horse! The name of the one who rode it was Death, and Hades followed right behind. They were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill its population with the sword, famine, and disease, and by the wild animals of the earth. (Revelation 6:7-8 NET)
Considering the fourth seal, we count just one head in the constellation of Pisces—fittingly that of the dead fish, which lies directly above Cetus, representing Hades in the verse. Here again, we see that “power” or “authority” is given that a fourth part would later be killed. During this important time when the sun was in this area (March-April), a cascade of crises was set into motion on account of the war and sanctions against Russia, which produces a large share of the worlds grain and fertilizer, used to produce food, even in far-away parts of the world like Brazil. European nations are drastically reducing fertilizer production as well, due to the high energy demands, much of which is in the form of Russian natural gas.
The text of the fourth seal apparently describes a sequential cascade of effects, beginning with the war (“sword”) that ultimately will all work together to kill off a quarter of the global population. It is now sure that a great famine is coming because of this war. Disease is known to be a major killer in times of famine, The World Health Organization explains it like this:
When there is a severe lack of food many people will die of starvation, but between starvation and death there is nearly always disease. When people don’t have enough food to eat, acute malnutrition sets in and weakens the immune system.
Whether the wild animals represent violently rioting people on account of progressively dire circumstances, or literal attacks of wild animals, made aggressive by their own food shortages, one thing is sure: the future of the left behind is not going to be pretty—and it was set in stone as the cross sign was completed in the heavens. It was during this seal when the angel (Mercury) stood in the sun to call for the birds (and beasts, according to a parallel passage in Ezekiel 39:17) to devour much flesh:
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. (Revelation 19:17-18)
The fifth seal brings our attention to the “ascension fish” in the constellation of Pisces, where the sun stood exactly on the first Passover this year, commemorating the time when Jesus gave His life as a sacrifice on the altar of the cross.
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. (Revelation 6:9-11)
Just “a little season” of one month spans from the first Passover on April 17 until the second Passover on May 16, beginning three final days until the rapture, during which they will be resurrected and their blood will be avenged on those left behind to dwell on the dying earth. How precise is God’s word! Furthermore, we saw how the white robes were given shortly after, on April 27, 2022, when the judgment scene of Zechariah 3 played out in the heavens as we shared in Standing Before the Lord.
With five seals already opened and fulfilling, the sixth seal comes when the sun advances to Aries in perfect sequence—with a great spiritual earthquake. Since the fall of Adam and Eve, man has been given time to change his ways, but before Jesus returns in glory, He must stop His attempts to bring people to Himself, and His Spirit is forever withdrawn from those who refused Him. That’s it. After that point, there is no more hope for the lost to turn to Christ. This great but silent spiritual earthquake rippled through the earth on that same day as the judgment scene was depicted in the heavens.
The righteous and the wicked will still be living upon the earth in their mortal state—men will be planting and building, eating and drinking, all unconscious that the final, irrevocable decision has been pronounced in the sanctuary above. Before the flood, after Noah entered the ark, God shut him in, and shut the ungodly out; but for seven days the people, knowing not that their doom was fixed, continued their careless, pleasure-loving life, and mocked the warnings of impending judgment. “So,” says the Saviour, “shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Silently, unnoticed as the midnight thief, will come the decisive hour which marks the fixing of every man’s destiny, the final withdrawal of mercy’s offer to guilty men. {Mar 264.2}
Just three days after the ark door was closed on April 27, 2022, the sun was blackened in a partial eclipse and soon, the Passover blood moon at midnight of May 15/16 will fulfill the next sign in the sequence:
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; (Revelation 6:12)
These are omens of the wrath of the Lamb, which is directly mentioned on the text of the sixth seal pointing specifically to the constellation of Aries, to which the refusers of His mercy have been destined since the great spiritual earthquake of April 27, 2022. Now it will be seen how many unwatchful Christians fall, like out-of-season figs from a shaken fig tree, when they see the hail of nuclear warheads falling like stars and they discover too late that there is more to salvation than reciting a prayer once in a lifetime. This is represented at that time with the beginning of the Arietid meteor shower (depicted as a green starburst in Aries in the image below).
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. (Revelation 6:13)
As the sun crosses the PanSTARRS path again, the throne of God and the Lamb is prepared, and the men of earth will see Him who sits thereon, and quake in their boots:
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: (Revelation 6:16)
After the many centuries of the first round of seals, Christianity missed the mark, and the seventh seal of our Lord’s return couldn’t be opened. After many decades of another round of seals, Adventism also missed the mark, and again, the seventh seal remained unbroken. The church could have hastened the Lord’s return; He could have come in 1890, but the church was not ready. Now, after many days of this final round of fast-paced seals, will the High Sabbath Adventist Church be able to stand? Will the seventh seal finally be opened?
And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. (Revelation 5:3-4)
One cannot expect to open the sevenfold-sealed book and enter heaven on their own merit. There is One who is worthy, One who has paid the price, One who can impart to us the righteousness we need to stand before God. Yet He could not open the seals without the church! Both must work together. She must avail herself of His gift of righteousness, making her robes white in His blood, keeping His truth.
In the ceremony of foot washing and partaking of the symbols of the Lord’s body and blood, we remember that it is His merit alone by which we may be saved. We renew our vows to Him as our part of the covenant, also fulfilled in His strength. In our journey on this earth, we benefit from an occasional “reset,” like a miniature jubilee, when all debts are forgiven among brethren. In acknowledging our humanity and our failures, we are reminded that it is by the grace of Christ alone that we may be counted worthy to enter His kingdom!
One last time, we are calling for a Lord’s Supper in honor of His sacrifice, which is the foundation of our faith. We ask that you join us in your location, whether alone or with fellow believers, as we gather on the Passover evening before the blood moon: May 15, 2022 after sunset in your location.
Then remain three days until the rapture. Cetus, the whale, is depicted alongside the boat, ready to swallow anyone thrown overboard, and outside this ark of safety, there is no sign but the sign of Jonah.
For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. (Luke 11:30)
Jonah’s experience with the whale was his testimony, and the Ninevites believed his word. But today, like in Jesus’ day, despite His many miracles—then on earth, and now in heaven—the proud refused to believe, but asked for a special sign at their own request, like those today who demand that prophecy fulfills according to their own expectations. When the Bridegroom is visible outside the ark for three days, the unbelieving in the world will suddenly have their sign and believe, but not to salvation.
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. (Matthew 16:4)
The fourth Angel’s message of righteousness by faith finally concludes after more than 130 years of development, and yet its conclusion is just as simple: His grace is sufficient to sanctify His bride, so that the seventh seal may at last be opened. The mystery of God is finished!
that is, the mystery that has been kept hidden from ages and generations, but has now been revealed to his saints. God wanted to make known to them the glorious riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:26-27 NET)
Before His presence “all faces are turned into paleness;” upon the rejecters of God’s mercy falls the terror of eternal despair. “The heart melteth, and the knees smite together, ... and the faces of them all gather blackness.” Jeremiah 30:6; Nahum 2:10. The righteous cry with trembling: “Who shall be able to stand?” The angels’ song is hushed, and there is a period of awful silence. Then the voice of Jesus is heard, saying: “My grace is sufficient for you.” The faces of the righteous are lighted up, and joy fills every heart. And the angels strike a note higher and sing again as they draw still nearer to the earth. {GC 641.1}
At last, the time has come when the seventh seal is to be opened! The bride has made herself ready and the journey to the sea of glass can commence—in Taurus—beginning with the first day of travel on May 17/18:
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. (Revelation 8:1)
The arrival to the sea of glass—the Orion Nebula—on the seventh day of silence in heaven will be perceived by the saints as May 23/24, 2022. In the image above, you can see that at the end of this day (marked in Hebrew terms), the sun will stand just before the Golden Gate of the Ecliptic, when Jesus will raise His arm to swing open the gate on its glittering hinges, that the saints who kept the truth may enter in and partake of the marriage supper of the Lamb on the memorial anniversary of Jesus’ crucifixion, May 24/25, 2022.
We all entered the cloud together, and were seven days ascending to the sea of glass, when Jesus brought the crowns, and with His own right hand placed them on our heads. He gave us harps of gold and palms of victory. Here on the sea of glass the 144,000 stood in a perfect square. Some of them had very bright crowns, others not so bright. Some crowns appeared heavy with stars, while others had but few. All were perfectly satisfied with their crowns. And they were all clothed with a glorious white mantle from their shoulders to their feet. Angels were all about us as we marched over the sea of glass to the gate of the city. Jesus raised His mighty, glorious arm, laid hold of the pearly gate, swung it back on its glittering hinges, and said to us, “You have washed your robes in My blood, stood stiffly for My truth, enter in.” We all marched in and felt that we had a perfect right in the city. {EW 16.2}
The cross is central to the plan of salvation in every respect. It is the foundation upon which we stand; it is the crown of understanding—it is the beginning and the end. By the blood of Jesus—shed on the cross—we are made clean. The discovery of the date of His crucifixion to be May 25, AD 31, provided the foundation for our understanding of the calendar of God. Now we see in the closing signs in heaven, that they begin with the cross, drawn by the sun and comet C/2021 O3 (PanSTARRS) and they end with the cross in honor of our Lord’s sacrifice that makes it possible for us to sit at His marriage supper table. Therefore, we sing of this, His glory for all eternity.
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. (Revelation 5:12)
This stretch of time since we heard the voice of God from Hunga Tonga until we are welcomed to the marriage supper of the Lamb is His third and final attempt to unseal the complete book of seven seals. If it is still not possible to do so now, then our ministry, like our predecessors, will have failed its mission and our doors will be closed forever—and perhaps heaven’s too.
As the book was unrolled, all who looked upon it were filled with awe. There were no blanks in the book. There was space for no more writing. {12MR 297.1}
This book describes even the very last days leading to the marriage feast. These brief months of our journey amid the most brilliant revelations as we have gone from camp to camp, are sealed in whole by the seven seals—the number of completion. This is the time when this fourth angel’s message shines the brightest, lightening the earth with his glory, readable everywhere there is Internet access.
And this special series is noticeably different! In all prior attempts to understand the seals, the seventh seal never had a fitting place. Six classical seals opened in an earthly timeline until 1844, but heaven was still abuzz, watching the earth with interest through their disappointment. (The last part of the sixth classical seal to fulfill, as Seventh-day Adventists teach it, were the falling stars of the meteor storm of November 13, 1833—nearly 190 years ago!). A reset was definitely needed, and a second Miller had to come to prophesy again. In the Orion cycles, we had evidence for six seals opening, but again, never the seventh.
But now, in the clock of the Father, the seventh seal can finally be seen and is in perfect sequence—time as well as in the associated meanings of the various symbols! Never before has the seventh seal been decisively revealed in a clock of God!
The seventh seal leads up to the gate of heaven, when the saints stand before the dimensional shift that will bring them into the Mysteries of the Holy City. Then the silence will be broken by the praise and jubilation of the redeemed, who fill the empty ranks of the angels who fell from glory.
No man or angel is guaranteed a position in God’s kingdom. From the highest to the lowest, all on this earth are prone to failure and can fall from grace. If it were not so, our Lord would not have given the warning to hold tightly to our crown, lest we lose it to the wiles of a man. The five who joined us to make twelve adults served as representatives—placeholders. Just as Judas was a placeholder for Matthias, so we all can be replaced should we fall.
Likewise in the parable of the virgins, if, though sent away, they followed, humbly desiring a few drops of oil, would the wise refuse them to protect their own interest? Did Jesus refuse the Syrophenician woman who persisted in faith, though being accounted as a dog? Ultimately, one is judged by their heart.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. (Psalms 34:18)
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. (Psalms 51:17)
Not all in this world have taken sides with the enemy against God. Not all have become disloyal. There are a faithful few who are true to God; for John writes: “Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Revelation 14:12. Soon the battle will be waged fiercely between those who serve God and those who serve Him not. Soon everything that can be shaken will be shaken, that those things that cannot be shaken may remain. {9T 15.5}
When the Lord commits Judgment to man, it is not something to be taken lightly. Judgment must be done in righteousness, executing justice, while at the same time seeking to show mercy when possible. Just as our new arrivals served as placeholders to show that God has twelve judges from His little end-time church of Philadelphia, so also, they served as placeholders to enact the parable of the five virgins. But as we came together and considered the situation, factoring in both our individual observations and the guidance that God had provided in dreams, it became apparent that indeed, there was one virgin among the five who led the others astray. He was the lead wolf in sheep’s clothing.
We desired to know if this was also a conclusion that the four others would see. Upon careful inquiry individually, indeed, all four still had the light of the Holy Spirit to see whose love had grown cold and had lost the faith. Though weakened and deficient, the Lord had not forsaken those four, and they were received back at the farm with joy on May 11.
Yet we still prayed that if it were possible, God would show mercy to the “wolf”. We know the experience of those who, once excluded from the community, turn against us and show their true colors. But in this case, the fallen leader continued in belief, though emotionally down. He even shared our joy in seeing and recognizing the significance of the image of the Milky Way’s black hole. It was Yom Kippur, according to the southern hemisphere’s calendar—Judgment Day. Had we judged his case correctly? Were we prepared to be judged as we had judged him? Were the reasons for his exclusion any worse than some of the character issues we ourselves often fall into, but surrender again to Jesus?
Soon it became clear that this brother simply needed extra support, and this is exactly what was lacking. Now, he had been left alone to die. Was that Philadelphian brotherly love? We had to ask ourselves what was in our own hearts! Many tears flowed on account of that conversation, and we began to see that the Lord had orchestrated this whole situation to bring us all, but especially the five brethren, through an experience in true brotherly love that He knew was much needed.
The Lord takes Personal responsibility to make sure that no member of Philadelphia goes untested! We are all like old, brittle, dirty, and damaged teeth—an image that the Lord gave us of ourselves (our whole membership) in this situation through a dream. And with a deep sense of unworthiness, forgiveness cannot be withheld, and by extending it from the heart, we wash the filth of the journey off one another’s feet in a truer sense than any ritual can illustrate! The ritual we call for is just an outward expression of the real thing that has already taken place in the heart.
The 144,000 were all sealed and perfectly united. On their foreheads was written, God, New Jerusalem, and a glorious star containing Jesus’ new name. At our happy, holy state the wicked were enraged, and would rush violently up to lay hands on us to thrust us into prison, when we would stretch forth the hand in the name of the Lord, and they would fall helpless to the ground. Then it was that the synagogue of Satan knew that God had loved us who could wash one another’s feet and salute the brethren with a holy kiss, and they worshiped at our feet. {EW 15.1}
So it is with us all in this final generation. After nearly 6000 years of sin, humanity has become frail, and lacking in spiritual, mental, and physical ability. Yet the Lord does not forsake His trusting lambs. He knows them all and binds them in unity through the sweet influences of His kingdom.
“These things saith He that holdeth the seven stars in His right hand.” Revelation 2:1. These words are spoken to the teachers in the church—those entrusted by God with weighty responsibilities. The sweet influences that are to be abundant in the church are bound up with God’s ministers, who are to reveal the love of Christ. The stars of heaven are under His control. He fills them with light. He guides and directs their movements. If He did not do this, they would become fallen stars. So with His ministers. They are but instruments in His hands, and all the good they accomplish is done through His power. Through them His light is to shine forth. The Saviour is to be their efficiency. If they will look to Him as He looked to the Father they will be enabled to do His work. As they make God their dependence, He will give them His brightness to reflect to the world. {AA 586.3}
Once He, as the sun, enters the aleph of Taurus—the new beginning—He will restore that which sin has effaced of His image in those who cherish their faith in Him. Similarly, there has been a new beginning for the five virgins who are welcome on the White Cloud Farm, who could not be shaken!
It was faith that caused that the heavenly mountain we identified as the millstone was cast into the sea on earth at the time of the Hunga Tonga blast.
Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. (Matthew 21:21)
It is faith that will cause Babylon to fall and the saints to rise on May 17/18, 2022. Do you believe?
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? (Luke 18:7-8)
The loud peals of the thundering voice of God have rolled through the earth. The day and hour have been fully proclaimed. The journey of our exodus from Babylon is sealed. The world is judged. The end has come. As we approach our last Lord’s supper in remembrance of what He did for us, now enriched by so great a light that shines from His cross, we lift our voices in humble prayer.
Dear Father, we praise You for the many wonders and great love You have shown to us, Your unworthy children, in our wandering through the wilderness of this earth. In the name of Jesus Alnitak, the Wounded One, deliver Your waiting, expectant bride, for she has washed her robes and made them white in the blood of Your Son. Amen.
