The Hour of Escape

 

The world is not the place it was before the coronavirus had its desolating influence. The former world is gone forever. Yet it is not the place it will be after the hour of escape either. There will be a baptism by fire as modern Babylon, like the walls of Jericho, comes crashing down in a great victory for God and His people.

The ark of God’s covenant is brought out before the world, and the image of Babylon is being toppled like the fish god in the temple of Dagon in front of the holy ark.[1] Through it all, we will see how—and when—the hour of escape will bring deliverance to God’s people.

The Hands of Time

The discovery of the Ark of the Covenant in heaven opens a new chapter in the story of how God is delivering His people from Babylon today. The reverential awe and breathtaking majesty of a sign that spans from one side of the clock to the other, from right throne lines to left throne lines, and bears the utmost significance that was attached to the holy container of the Decalogue—the throne of God itself—calls for a deeper and purer experience with God. This is that ark whose presence in the midst of the army of Israel was rumored to ensure them victory, and yet we know from sacred history that unless God Himself goes with the camp, it is not so. Rather, it is His presence and leadership in the camp that makes the difference!

The sign of the Ark of the Covenant The presence of God is represented by the Shekinah glory that rested above the mercy seat, which is symbolized by the annular “ring-of-fire” eclipse of June 21, 2020—a sign in itself that evokes the imagery of a black hole—the sign of the Son of man—which is in turn a picture of the Highest who veils Himself in darkness. We are gazing upon holy, holy, holy things!

From the time when this sign was first seen, the question naturally arose as to why the scene is depicted with Jesus represented on the right side of the picture, whereas from our perspective, He should be seen on the left (at the right hand of the Father[2]). The answer is simple but profound: we are being shown things from the perspective of heaven itself, and no longer from the perspective of the earth!

This in turn calls for a reevaluation of our long-standing interpretation of the seventh seal, with its awesome silence in heaven:

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. (Revelation 8:1)

Based on the judgment cycle of the Orion clock discovered in 2010, on which one hour of heavenly time corresponds to seven years on the earth, this half an hour was understood to mean a literal three and a half years on the earth. But is it still best to do this conversion based on the past judgment cycle, or should we rather calculate based on the present cycle in which we find the seventh seal closing?

The principle of progressive revelation means, of course, that we should always be ready for further development of the light that God has given, which will never be exhausted. Thus, we are now tasked to find out how long an hour (or half an hour) is, according to the 259-day cycle in which this heavenly perspective is presented. And since we are seeing this sign from heaven’s perspective, we ought to also consider that our vantage point is now closer to the Father—closer to the black hole that shrouds Him in darkness.[3] Could it be that this half an hour of silence is measured on a completely different timescale, and if so, how?

Just from the awesomeness of the scene before us and the fact that we are granted to see this scene from God’s perspective, one could perhaps guess that the half an hour of silence might have something to do with this scene of the Ark of the Covenant.

But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. (Habakkuk 2:20)

The entire scene of the ark spans half of the clock, and in fact, the throne lines are the only lines in the clock that can mark exactly half a cycle. This would mean that one hour would correspond to one full cycle of the clock.

Clocks generally have both an hour hand and a minute hand, after all, and this is also the case with God’s clocks which He has given to His people to answer their underlying yearning, “How long?” How long will darkness prevail in the world? The clocks serve as a lamp to the virgins’ feet and point them to the fulfillment of His prophecies! The hour and minute hands are readily visible in the Father’s Mazzaroth clock.[4] Along the ecliptic are twelve constellations like the twelve hours on the face of a clock. The two great lights (the sun and moon) move like clock hands, the sun pointing to the heavenly “hour” of the year-day, and the moon meanwhile making a full round as the “minute” hand.[5]

Seeing an hour hand and a minute hand in the Son’s clock (the Orion clock), however, is not quite as obvious, because there are no planets that circle it at different speeds. Instead, for every Orion cycle[6] there is a specific duration based on a biblical revelation. However, the indication of about “half” an hour (i.e. about 30 minutes) in the seventh seal text suggests that we need a time scale that allows finer-grained measurements than what the hour markers on the clock provide.

Modern science teaches us that time does not pass at the same rate at every point throughout the expanse of the universe. For one who resides near a black hole, time passes by much slower, such that when viewing the events of earth, a much greater amount of time would have passed on the earth in the span of a single hour experienced near the black hole.

This principle of time dilation[7] thus answers the difficulty in finding the “minute hand” of the Orion clock. The same stars of Orion that served as hour markers when viewing time from the perspective of the earth double as minute markers when viewed from the heavenly perspective!

Thus, we now have a solid explanation for how the half an hour should be measured on the clock when seen from heaven’s perspective, and we could even justify the half an hour of silence spanning the top half of the clock, where the ark is seen.

However, there is still a little wrinkle that must be ironed out:[8] the seventh trumpet—which coincides with and defines the boundaries of the ark sign—would contradict the seventh seal if the silence in heaven is placed in the same timeframe.

And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever….And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. (Revelation 11:15, 19)

There cannot be “silence in heaven” if there are also “great voices” at the same time! And this begs the question: where else could this half an hour of silence go, if the clock only runs till October 5, 2020 (the Saiph point where the cycles begin and end)? There is not another half an hour left within this cycle that could be defined by the throne lines!

Back to the Blueprint

An initial idea was to count the “about” half an hour from the solar eclipse of June 21, 2020 to the Saiph point of October 5, 2020, but that would be quite a bit less than half an hour—too far even as an approximation—and that would be assuming the great voices of praise and worship of the seventh trumpet ceased immediately as soon as the Betelgeuse hour struck, when the seventh preparatory trumpet was only just beginning to sound. Clearly a better solution is needed.

By this point, however, we have already gained some insight that can be applied to understand the plan God is making known through His revelations. We now understand that an hour can be not only one twelfth of a clock cycle, but also one full round of the clock. And this is especially relevant now, because the Bible repeatedly mentions one hour in its description of the fall of Babylon:

First mention:

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. (Revelation 18:9-10)

Second mention:

The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. … (Revelation 18:15-17)

Third mention:

… And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. (Revelation 18:17-19)

In Time No Longer, we explained how the three mentions of an “hour” point to the three last cycles of the clock where the hour of Babylon’s destruction was seen.

The three hours

What if those three “hours,” which were previously assumed to be one twelfth of the clock, are actually single instants marking the beginning of an hour according to the minute hand, in light of the slower-running heavenly time? As we learned, it is important to understand from whose perspective the prophecy is given! The verses quoted above are spoken by the same voice that begins with verse 4:

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. (Revelation 18:4)

This is none other than Jesus urgently warning His people to come out of Babylon. So, it is Jesus who relates the story, and since His voice is heard here from heaven, the hour of the prophecy can apply from Jesus’ heavenly perspective as a timespan, as well as in the earthly perspective of those kings and merchants and shipmasters who bewail this hour. In other words, the hour could be understood either way, depending on how it is read; it allows for both possibilities.

In the seventh plague text, the division of Babylon into three parts (the upper 3 segments of the clock) is followed by “the cities of the nations fell.” As explained in Time No Longer, that fall begins at the left throne lines. But now, rather than the hour spanning only one twelfth of the clock, we can see that the hour can actually run the full circle around the clock, like the minute hand that makes one full round and comes back to the same starting point after one hour.

With yearning heart, Jesus longs to see His people separated from Babylon before it is too late to escape her doom! He proceeds to relate the story of how the kings and merchants will react to this hour: the first two times in future tense, and the third time in past tense.

The indication is that only in the third round would the hour fulfill the prophecy, but the three mentions are because there are three continuous rounds pointing to where the hour was seen to begin. Furthermore, the context of the whole prophecy of these mentions of the hour is about trade and the economic collapse of the city, and the agent that began to bring that economic crisis is the coronavirus! The handwriting was on the wall from its outbreak; Babylon was being weighed in the balances and has been found wanting and unprotected from the coronavirus-induced economic storm.

The repeated mention of the hour, therefore, supports the idea that the half an hour of silence could fit in either the top or bottom half of the clock in any cycle—the problem is that we do not have any cycles left! Or do we?

Let us go back to the blueprint. The seven seals of the book of Revelation have long been understood by Protestants as a prophetic description of the epochs of Christian history, and the prophetic history that unfolded over nearly two millennia is repeating in a shorter timeframe in these last days.[9] The biblical basis for this repetition is the conquest of Jericho, the fall of which is a type for the fall of spiritual Babylon today.

In studying types, one must always bear in mind that every type has its limits, and the question must often be asked, “How far does the type go, in its representation of the prophetic antitype?” For example, there are now seven cycles of the Orion clock that are part of the day of judgment, as explained in Time No Longer. Seven is the number of completion, and it is the number of times that Joshua and the army of Israel—with the priests—marched around Jericho on the seventh day. Circling the clock of Orion is like circling the heavenly Canaan in preparation to enter the land[10]—seven times on the last day. But is this really where the type ends?

So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. (Joshua 6:20)

According to the blueprint, after all the marches were done and all the trumpets were blown, Joshua gave the command for the people to SHOUT! in victory, because God had given them the city. Then, the walls came down and the armed men rushed the city—all the way around it, from all sides. Could this indicate one final round of the clock? A victory lap? “How far does the type go?”

The first step in contemplating the validity of such a cycle would be to calculate the dates,[11] continuing the same 259-day cycle from Saiph, October 5, 2020, to Saiph again, uninterrupted.

The victory cycle

Do any of the resulting dates catch your eye!?

The Men with Slaughter Weapons

Considering the call to come out of Babylon, one should ask the question: what does Babylon represent in our modern world? If Jesus bids us to come out of it, we must understand what Babylon is. We saw in Earth’s final throes how the head of Babylon is clearly identified as Pope Francis, and it is not just a political system but also a religious one. Just as Judah in the Bible was carried away to Babylon for its apostasy, so also Christianity today—whether Protestant or Catholic—has become synonymous with Babylon through its terrible state of apostasy as well. Whether conservative or liberal, large or small, the organized churches all have connections to the Pope of Rome, who indirectly and clandestinely directs them as spiritual provinces of his global kingdom.

With that in mind, the destruction of Babylon is not just a political or business affair, but also a religious one! It includes the destruction of apostate Christianity in all its forms. In fact, it was not political Babylon, but apostate (religious) Jerusalem through which the five men of Ezekiel 9:5 were seen doing their work of slaughter, beginning at the house of God.[12]

If the victory shout of the Jericho blueprint is made by September 3–6, 2020, as suggested above, and there is one more round of the clock to fulfill the taking of the city, this could offer a clearer picture of the five men[13] with slaughter weapons. What if the slaughtering—which admittedly does not seem to have happened at the expected scale yet—was meant to begin only after the man in linen had finished all the marking by June 21, 2020? The text, after all, does not require that the men begin to slaughter while the marking is still taking place, so the slaughtering could begin at the next station, being the September 3–6 throne lines. This would result in the following arrangement:

An initial attempt to place the slaughter angels

Unfortunately, the five men don’t quite fit because there is one too many segments for the five men to fill the “hour” from the September 3–6 throne lines of 2020 all the way around the clock. There is still a logical mistake because we did not fully consider the half an hour of silence in heaven—which pressed us for a new cycle in the first place…

Silence in heaven for about half an hour With the new cycle, the silence in heaven could fit in either the bottom half of the clock or the top half, but we have many hints that point toward the top half. Not only does the sign of the Ark of the Covenant point to a certain awe-filled bated-breath silence in this stretch of the clock cycle, but the threefold division of Babylon in these three segments also suggests that these segments are somehow connected. Even more, the seventh sounding trumpet and the seventh preparatory trumpet both abut the respective throne line boundaries, segmenting off the entire top half of the clock as having a special meaning at this late stage of time. What would it mean if the sign of the Ark of the Covenant points forward to a half an hour of silence in heaven from January 11 to May 23, 2021?

For one thing, this would give incredible significance to the fact that the new cycle ends—and thus Jesus comes—at Saiph on June 21, 2021, exactly one year after the annular eclipse that marked the center point of the ark and the Shekinah glory of the Father. This is the long-awaited moment when the Desire of Ages, the express image of the Father,[14] will be seen face-to-face![15] This is when those who keep God’s law, the same law that was given on Mt. Sinai, will partake of the glory of their Lord. What a moment!—what a conquest, which remains to be wrought in this last round of the clock!

One of perhaps many implications of the silence in heaven is that no heavenly message will accompany those January throne lines, because silence in heaven implies that no voices would be emanating from the throne at that time. That station of the clock—where voices come from the very throne of God—would be marked by an awful silence. This would have very profound implications, but even at this initial stage of understanding, it already offers a solution to the arrangement of the men with slaughter weapons.

A successful placement of the slaughter angels

Now the men with slaughter weapons have space to do their work, one after the other, in one hour-long sweep of the clock, beginning with the fall of Babylon. This would correspond to the rushing of Jericho in terms of the conquest of the earthly Canaan. This is the destruction of all the false religion and apostasy that riddles the churches today and permeates the minds of the people so much that they do not even recognize the apostasy they are in.

The Fruitless Fig Tree

Using different symbolism, Jesus described the consequences of that apostasy. The Lord often used the illustration of a vineyard to describe His kingdom, sending workers into it or leasing it to vinedressers, etc. In one parable, He told the story of a man (representing the Lord) who planted a fig tree in his vineyard.[16] The fig was a prized fruit in Israel and was often associated with His favored people. This people abide in the dedicated space of His kingdom—professing Christians—but they are especially blessed with knowledge and understanding above the grapes of His vineyard. However, as Jesus relates the story, the owner of the vineyard sought fruit from it for three years but found none. Being in apostasy, they had no fruit for God’s kingdom.

Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? (Luke 13:7)

The barren fig tree, representing His favored but apostate people, is akin to apostate Jerusalem that was absorbed into Babylon. For three picking seasons, Jesus visited His apostate “fig tree,” and after each season, the Owner of the vineyard seeks fruit. But when He still doesn’t find any after the third hour, He commands that the fruitless tree be cut down.

Three harvest seasons

The close of the third season would correspond to a second coming date of October 5, 2020—but then something extraordinary happens in the parable.

Jesus gave time. His heart of love wants to allow time for more of His people to come out of Babylon before its plagues destroy them in it. Despite the stench and trouble of the plague cycle, few fled from Babylon in the first season, and there was no fruit from the fig tree. Then to get people’s attention, the Lord thundered “as when a lion roareth”[17] in the next cycle. Would they take heed now? Still no fruit after the second season.

The Lord acts with merciful delay upon merciful delay, but even His divine patience has a limit. With this hour, the oath of Revelation 10 that there would be delay no longer was sworn, and then commenced the chiastic closing of all the prophetic warnings of the Revelation in the third cycle. Has Jesus found fruit now, even after an hour of suffering under the coronavirus sword? It was in December of 2019 when the first individuals were hospitalized in China, and that was the handwriting on the wall. The virus was quickly classified as a global pandemic, and as a result of social countermeasures, the economy and financial markets started to feel it in March[18] as the economic toll struck the New World in particular.

The coronavirus crisis has been the theme of this third season. The warning shots are over; this was the beginning of the recompense against Babylon, and in the second half of this hour, the ark of the covenant is being carried out and made visible to the people who can now see the contrast between good and evil clearly, as they make their final decisions. The economic idol has met the great impact, and will soon have crashed completely to the ground in front of the ark of God’s holy covenant.

What is the Lord to do when even after doing all that can be done, there is still no fruit in the third year as His people still refuse to heed His call!?

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. (Revelation 18:4)

He’s been calling now for a long time, sounding trumpets and sending plagues and thundering the coming doom. That should be more than sufficient reason to flee before the full power of God’s judgments manifests without mercy. The wisdom of man and the decisions of the world lead to economic and physical destruction, exactly as described in Revelation 18.

Oh, how the Lord desires to gather His little ones under His wing to shelter them from the plagues of this “storm” that has begun to blow over the world! The Lord is calling His people to come out of Babylon to escape her plagues—which end in eternal loss! But His people know not the time of their visitation!

Even in such terrible circumstances as are coming over the earth now, the vinedresser still shows his deep compassion for the Lord’s erring ones who are slow to hear His voice. Listen to his plea:

And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. (Luke 13:8-9)

The vinedresser asks for one more season to try to get the tree to produce fruit. This will take a lot of work, manually plowing the poor soil of the fig tree to aerate it, like trying to break through a hard heart with the Holy Spirit. It will require applying the most effective, high-persecution fertilizer to provide the essential nutrients from the gift of God’s latter-rain message. If the tree still doesn’t bear fruit after such care and attention, then it truly ought to be cut down as worthless.

No, the hard times are not ending. The sins of Babylon have been remembered, and she is to be rewarded double.

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. (Revelation 18:5-6)

When we study end-time prophecy, we have to continually reevaluate whether the events of the earth corroborate our understanding of prophecy. Until now, we understood that the retribution to Babylon was the plague cycle, while the double reward came in the closing cycle after the delay of the thunder cycle. In light of current events, however, it is clear that the plague cycle was still a time of warning signs on the earth and only a foretaste of what was to come, but the true retribution to Babylon was not felt until the coronavirus, which hit where it hurts most—in the pocketbook! Thus, it is this hour, wherein the coronavirus struck the economy, that is doubled with a vengeance in yet one more cycle more terrible than the last. But despite the pain and hardships that it will bring, this cycle is to be the cycle of the victory of God’s people!

Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. (Revelation 18:20)

Here is one more chart of this cycle, with probable new moon sighting dates supplied:

The victory cycle with new moons

Watch and Pray

It was God’s design that His people would escape the temptation that is coming over the world. He warned His disciples to watch and pray, so they would not enter into temptation.

And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. (Matthew 26:40-41)

Have you been watching and praying with the Lord in Orion these last three hours? Three times the Lord besought His closest disciples to watch and pray with Him for one hour. He wanted to spare them from the temptation that would follow, but because they slept, they did not receive the necessary preparation and were compelled to go into temptation. In the present time, Jesus says to the church of Philadelphia (who are sealed with the threefold seal of Time[19]):

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience [Strong’s: cheerful (or hopeful) endurance, constancy], I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. (Revelation 3:10)

Many understand this verse to point to a rapture, and indeed, it seems that it does in some way—but not every Christian can claim to be a part of Philadelphia! Notice the reason Jesus gives for keeping Philadelphia from that hour: it is because they kept the word of His patience! It is about hopeful endurance through the hours of watching and praying with the Lord. The experience of the church of Philadelphia through those hours has been recorded by the authors at WhiteCloudFarm.org in the articles that were written and published at that time.[20] They continued to watch the heavens and pray that the 144,000 would be found and that they would take up their own duty to teach others and share the heavenly bounty that was theirs for the taking.

Others have also been earnestly watching and praying regarding dreams and visions from heaven, seeking divine understanding. Could it be that the Lord will bring these groups together to unite them in truth? The Mystery Finished, Part I expresses the hope that they would yet receive counsel and be united with Christ’s Refuge and true sheepfold. Yet, there was invariably another excuse for them to dismiss the truth. What will it take to bring about the paradigm shift necessary for the 144,000 to get past their prejudices against the truth about time? Would they despise the light of heaven until it faded away forever?

As expressed in the prayer of Jesus, Philadelphia faced ever greater trial by recommitting to endure whatever it would take, if souls could be rescued as a result.

And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. (Mark 14:36)

This has been their song since 2016, and it will remain so for eternity. It is the song of Moses and the Lamb, the former who sung it on Mt. Sinai, the latter on Mt. Calvary:

Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. (Exodus 32:32)

The pledge is whatever it takes for God’s cause to succeed and for His people to finally come to the understanding of His love amidst all the darkness of the world. It may be that Philadelphia must make that ultimate sacrifice, letting go of the unnamed ones they love and leaving only the legacy of Smyrna for those who might come after. It was, after all, not the priests who took Jericho, but the people. The priests only accompanied them for the marches around the city till the walls fell, but the priests themselves did not take the city.

Or, it may be that others will rise and shine before it is too late. The choice is yours, but the last clock is already ticking overtime. Whatever the case, Jesus always makes a way of escape from temptation.[21] For His children, He will always provide the strength that is needed for every trial.

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. (Luke 21:34-36)

The Great Escape

And after these things [the destruction of Babylon] I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: (Revelation 19:1)

The chapter of the Second Coming of Jesus begins with a scene of many people in heaven praising God. This may not seem strange to one who believes the false doctrine that a righteous person is immediately shuttled to heaven upon their death, but the Bible teaches that the dead “know not any thing.”[22] When a person understands that the dead simply rest in their graves until being resurrected[23] and transported in an orderly fashion, it begs the question: Who is already there, and when did they go? There are but few examples of people in the Bible who already went to heaven: Enoch, Moses, Elijah, and some first fruits that Jesus took with Him. Those who were resurrected at the great earthquake at Jesus’ death are described as “many,”[24] and one can only speculate as to how many they really were. The following verses give a few more details regarding this company that is seen in heaven before Jesus’ return:

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. (Revelation 19:6)

This company is strongly associated with the voice of many waters, which is none other than Philadelphia who heard and believed the voice of God that came like many waters. They (or at least a representative from them) are seen among those with Jesus in heaven before His return.

To be clear, the church of Philadelphia encompasses more than just those who believed the fourth angel’s message in our day. The ancient city of Philadelphia was known for its earthquakes, which necessitated its rebuilding. The spiritual Philadelphia is also associated with earthquakes, through which some of the city is taken, and after which others must rebuild it. Could it be that with a great earthquake,[25] Jesus will also raise up some additional first fruits of Philadelphia who labored in the time of the judgment cycle (1846 – 2014) to join the few who labored in the cycles following?

Regardless of the form in which these things fulfill, there is prophetic evidence that Philadelphia (having the threefold seal) could be raptured prior to the hour of temptation, which begins with the throne lines of September 3-6, 2020.

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. (Revelation 3:10)

Whether the Lord will literally rapture them or fulfill the prophecies in a more spiritual sense remains to be seen, but in any case, the 144,000 should finally receive the message of God written in the stars. There are indications that they might even accompany Philadelphia in the rapture to receive the spiritual food from heaven, later to return for service. Whether it is a literal or symbolic rapture, standing faithful to their high calling, they are to be preserved alive through the terrible scenes of that hour (during the victory cycle) as they lead many to righteousness.

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)

Baptism by Fire

For the 144,000 Christlike ones, the hour of temptation begins on a very special anniversary. Jesus Himself was baptized on September 4, AD 27 to begin his ministry,[26] and the anniversary falls between the throne lines that mark when the 144,000 will be baptized by fire.

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. (Matthew 3:11-12)

And like Christ, after crossing the “river” of the throne lines, they will enter their own hour of temptation as He was also tempted in the wilderness.

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. (Matthew 4:1)

This baptism by fire describes a cleansing process—the purging of the threshing floor. The chaff is burned up by the fire of God while the wheat is preserved through that time like Daniel’s three friends in the fiery furnace. What is amazing is that God points to exactly that time on the clock. The date of the Lord’s own baptism by John was determined by careful study of God’s revelation as presented in The Mystery of the Holy City, speaking of that City which stands in time on the date of that most important event that “fulfills all righteousness.”[27] Everyone who enters the Holy City must be baptized into Christ.

The hour of temptation

In that time after September 3–6, 2020, may their defense be the word of God, rightly spoken! Without a clear understanding of the truth, many will be tempted to follow a wrong course with regard to the last conflict over the mark of the beast.

First came the coronavirus, but now in the hour of temptation will come a vaccine for it! Many are anxiously waiting for the coronavirus vaccine so they can get their lives back to “normal.” At this hour, however, there is no more normal, but that motivation will surely lead to persecution of those who refuse the vaccine. Many understandably believe the vaccine will be connected with the mark of the beast. But is the hand or forehead[28] a normal place to receive an injection? It is not itself the mark of the beast. What is the Lord’s direction for this hour when the world is coming to an end? His command is to come out of Babylon, lest you be tempted to partake of her sins for which she is plagued. Although there is solid justification for strongly avoiding vaccination, it is not one’s own sin if a person is compelled by the authorities against their will.

Rather, the divine prescription is to receive the nature of Christ as the inoculation against sin! The temptation to sin may be overcome by receiving an understanding of the truth. Then entrust God with your protection—both from the coronavirus and from its vaccine, should you be compelled to received it.

They [believers] shall take up serpents [excluding by presumption]; and if they drink [or as with the venom from serpents, are injected with] any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (Mark 16:18)

Let no believer be presumptuous to voluntarily take that which is shrouded in darkness and deception, but if it becomes a mandate to receive the vaccine and is enforced, one does not sin by cooperating with the authorities. (Jesus also cooperated with the authorities, knowing they would kill Him.) Trust yourself to the Lord who has power to preserve one from the agents of evil in the world. Do not invite persecution, but if it must come, let it come for your stand against the true mark of the beast! As the 144,000 come to the light and accept the wisdom God gave to the church of Philadelphia, they, too, will be protected from the temptation of that hour.

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience [as expressed in the writings of Philadelphia], I also will keep thee [Strong’s: “guard (from loss or injury)”] from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. (Revelation 3:10)

Soon, the number of the martyrs will be filled[29] as many will give their lives for their testimony of faith in Jesus and His truth—a testimony of a far different character than the rebellious, angry, and vengeful reactions to the killing of George Floyd. Are you willing to sacrifice like your Lord and His disciples did before you? This is the hour of escape, but it is not an escape from sacrifice, pain, or hardship! No, no. This must be endured a little longer. Rather, it is the time for all to make their final escape from Babylon and the plagues that are coming over her.

Come out before you are consumed with her! Many are still members of churches and organizations that have corrupted themselves with Rome directly or indirectly. Call them out in love! What better time for house churches where two or three may gather in Jesus’ name, connecting online for spiritual nourishment? You need not fear! The Lord will protect you if you do your part and heed His warning to separate from the institutions of modern Babylon, which support the mark of the beast, at least in these last moments before the end! Do you hear the Lord’s voice calling? Is it your voice also, calling others out of Babylon too?

O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing [(Babylonian) falsehood and deception]? Selah. (Psalms 4:2)

Unmixed Wrath

The exodus from Egypt served as a type for the victory of God’s people over sin and their enemies, and it was their departure to the Promised Land. When the Egyptians were finally overcome in the red sea, they sang a song of victory that will once again be sung after the wicked are overcome and the Lord delivers His people at last.

Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble. (Exodus 15:6-7)

The counterfeit: Mayan calendar wheels From a look at the dates of the victory cycle, its conclusion on June 21, 2021 is not just remarkable, but astonishing! Why? We have shared how the Father’s clock of the heavenly bodies in the Mazzaroth meshes with the Son’s clock in Orion. This was witnessed with the recent solstice ring-of-fire eclipse on the galactic equator just before the Betelgeuse point, marking God’s wrath. However, it was off alignment by exactly one day—signifying one year missing until perfect alignment! Now, the solstice of the Father’s clock falls precisely on the Saiph point at the end of the clock one year later—at the end of the year-long “day” of vengeance! This is the true clock alignment for which the Mayan calendar wheels are the satanic counterfeit!

For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion. (Isaiah 34:8)

Do you recognize what this points to? We explained recently[30] how at the solar eclipse, the sealing work was complete.[31] The man in linen of Ezekiel 9 who marked those who sighed and cried for the abominations committed in the city had done his work, and we’ve already seen how the five men with slaughter weapons follow after him, beginning at the next point on the clock: the left throne lines where the hour of Babylon’s physical destruction begins.

Shortly after the left throne lines, Jupiter changes direction on September 12, 2020 and races forward through the clock. Like a giant millstone, it is cast into the sea—Aquarius.

The mighty angel with the great millstone

And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. (Revelation 18:21)

Jupiter's grinding bands Jupiter is well known for its spinning bands of wind in alternating directions, as if it were a picture of God’s mill for grinding wheat into bread flour. And Aquarius represents the cesspool of LGBT abomination, for which God is judging the world as He judged Sodom and Gomorrah with fire from heaven.

Jupiter is said to “shepherd” the asteroid belt,[32] using its gravitational “weight” to keep the asteroids from falling toward the sun (and thus also toward the earth). As a result, the asteroids stay in the asteroid belt and collide with one another, breaking apart into smaller pieces. This is exactly what a millstone does: it drives the grain around and around in a circle, grinding it down into ever finer particles. But what does it mean when the Bible says a millstone is cast into the sea?

Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war? (Job 38:22–23)

The king planet continues in forward motion until the approach of Jesus to the earth, when it slows down and comes to a stop precisely on June 21, 2021—the white horse star date of Jesus’ return and the culmination of the victory cycle! Prepare for the wrath of God!

The harvest plan The timeframe of the day of vengeance appears in terms of the harvest symbolism as well. The Final Harvest explains how the angel who had power over fire (Betelgeuse) called to the angel with the sickle (Bellatrix) to thrust in the sickle and gather the vine. The harvest schedule described there is in perfect harmony with the harvest season of Israel, and the people who are ripe are being harvested. The signs were given to point to what is taking place.

Nevertheless, in the light of present understanding, the arrangement of harvest events can be slightly improved. The solar eclipse reveals the angel who had power over fire: the moon, which had power to darken the fire of the sun on June 21, 2020. The harvest text, however, speaks of that angel when he comes out from the altar on June 22, at the time indicated by Betelgeuse:

And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. (Revelation 14:18)

The moon came out from the altar and its first crescent was sighted on June 23, 2020. At that point, therefore, the call was made to Bellatrix to thrust in her sickle and gather the ripe clusters of the vine. When must that thrusting in actually take place? It must be where the sickle is next seen: July 23, 2020.

This is the date where the second anointed one stands in the sign of the Ark of the Covenant, and it is a reflection of where Jesus (the first anointed One) stands on the new moon of His crucifixion anniversary, May 25, 2020.

The ark of the covenant

On the date for Jesus of May 25, 2020, the killing of George Floyd sparked riots and chaos around the globe. It remains to be seen what July 23 will bring. Do you think it could be something comparable?

At the following throne lines, the sign of the trampling of the vintage begins as the sun highlights the back paws of Leo:

The winepress is trodden without the city

This imagery continues through the throne line dates of September 3–6, as the sun highlights the “feet.”

And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs. (Revelation 14:20)

The treading of the winepress of God’s wrath is done “without the city”. The text doesn’t specify what city it is referring to. Is it referring to the Holy City that would have whisked away the redeemed? Could it be that the “city” of Philadelphia is meant here, spared from the hour of temptation that begins at the throne lines? Or is this referring to another kind of shedding of blood that also happened outside the city?

And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him… And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. (Mark 15:20, 22)

As Jesus was crucified outside the city, the treading of the vintage speaks of martyrdom, not the killing of the wicked. As the life is in the blood,[33] so the pressing of the grapes is the symbol for the death of present-day martyrs, complementing the wheat of the 144,000, who do not die.

The relationship between the 144,000 (represented by wheat) and the martyrs (represented by the grapes) can be seen in the efforts of God’s people. On the one hand are those who preach repentance and the keeping of God’s law, who are pleading with and praying for those who feel at liberty to live any way they choose, without repentance. The law is life, and those who keep it have life,[34] while those who disregard it are dead, because faith without works is dead.[35] But if those who are dead without works repent and give a worthy testimony as martyrs, they may yet be children of God. Nevertheless, there is a price to pay for lingering while mercy pleaded. In the time of God’s wrath, justice will demand the consequences of their delay.

However, the harvesting and treading are two separate things. All the good grapes will have been gathered and the harvest ended when the time of the treading of the winepress comes. That is why martyrdom has not become a prominent theme yet, although the grapes are already being gathered. The treading of the winepress does not begin until the grape harvest is over, an occasion which the Jews celebrate on Tu B’Av, the second possibility of which falls on September 4, 2020, neatly within the throne line dates and in accordance with the sign pictured above. This is the “baptism” into Christ’s death through which His life is conferred to the martyr.

And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs. (Revelation 14:20)

The verse speaks of blood coming out of the winepress, which takes a matter of time. This is not just a one-day event; what begins on September 3–6, 2020 will continue “unto the horse bridles.” As explained in It Is the Lord!, the horse bridles in the heavenly language refer to the Horsehead Nebula, which lies along the line from Alnitak to Saiph.

This means the martyrdom continues until the Saiph mark of June 21, 2021 when Jesus takes His people from the earth. Then all martyring will cease. During this time, the testimony of the last number of martyrs—whose blood is the seed of the church—will serve to convert the great multitude who will find Jesus as a result:

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands… And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. (Revelation 7:9, 13–14)

Thus, even in the time of God’s wrath when all “grace” seems to have ended and amid great tribulation, those who desire salvation may still find it through everlasting righteousness by faith in Him who is love.

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13)

It was not in God’s heart that His people should have to endure any part of this hour of temptation during the day of vengeance. However, God’s people were not ready; the fig tree did not bear fruit in more favorable times.

The Estranged Fiancée

Our merciful Lord has endured a lot. His bride-to-be is not the one whom He originally engaged,[36] and such a circumstance necessarily paints a story of heartache and sorrow. Despite the love with which He lavished her, His first fiancée was not faithful to Him and did not welcome the signs of His coming nor accept His counsel to prepare. Instead of excitedly telling the world of the good news, so that many others could be ready in time, she turned against Him, refusing His seal while imagining herself to be the queen whom all must reverence.

As you can see from the number of links in this brief description, a lot has been written about that sad story as it was unfolding (and that is just a small fraction!). Only a very small remnant escaped from her to form the modern church of Philadelphia who would jump like a little girl into the open arms of Jesus as soon as He called to her—but not before offering a sacrifice, by which she could receive the promise of Elijah, and leave a legacy of guiding truth for those who would appreciate the inheritance of Time that was officially prepared for them and notarized by the Lord.

Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us [longing readers] a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah [already destroyed, not discerning the true mark of the beast]. (Isaiah 1:9)

While the rebellious woman is not to be imitated, there is much that may be learned from the gifts that the Lord bestowed upon her before she became estranged from Him. In her younger days, she also comprised the ranks of Philadelphia and she pleased the Lord. It was she, whom the Lord pointed to directly with the first-discovered cycle of the Orion clock.

After leading them through severe disappointment to refine the purity of their faith, He gave the tried company new understanding. Like God’s faithful of today, they had learned that while salvation is a free gift, it calls forth obedience from the hearts of those who reciprocate His love. They recognized that God’s Ten Commandments—all ten of them—were more consequential than they had formerly supposed! They saw themselves in the third angel of Revelation 14, identifying with the description given there:

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

If one’s faith is not able to endure hardship, ridicule, or delayed answers to his burning questions, such a one has neither the patience of the saints nor the faith of Jesus. If one’s faith does not also lead to obedience to the One whom he professes to love,[37] then his faith is dead.[38]

When they embraced the only commandment that most Christians stumble over—the fourth commandment, to remember the Sabbath day—the way was clear for the Lord to use them to fulfill an important role in prophecy. Then His truth was able to go forth like a majestic, white horse, and He went conquering and to conquer.[39] Have you rejected the OSAS heresy but still neglect to do what Jesus said was an indicator of whether one loves Him or not?

If ye love me, keep my commandments.He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. (John 14:15,21)

No, the commandment to keep the seventh day holy was not severed from the other nine commandments and nailed to the cross with the ceremonial laws, nor was it ever changed or chiseled out of the stone table where God engraved it with His own finger. Jesus asks you to remember it and to keep it holy as a memorial to Creation and redemption, just as you keep the other commandments. Will you show Him your love through obedience to that command? Jesus is still the Lord of the Sabbath (and not the Lord of Sunday).

(To rest on the day of Jesus’ resurrection each week is actually a good idea, but it comes too early. On this earth, we are to proclaim His death until He comes,[40] and only in heaven will we honor His resurrection each week—but still on the Sabbath, and not on the first day of the week![41])

It was the reception of the Sabbath in 1846 by those early Advent believers of various denominations, that the Orion clock pointed to with the white horse star of the judgment cycle. The Lord’s watchful eye followed that little company of believers who reformed their lives as He led them through the study of His word, confirming or redirecting them by prophetic dreams and visions of the people.

The major course-changing events in their history (both good and bad) with far-reaching effects are recorded in God’s clock in Orion and even in His feasts. It wasn’t Methodist history, Presbyterian, Baptist, Lutheran, Catholic, or any other church’s history that was recorded, but just the history of the people who came out of those churches because they loved Jesus enough to keep His commandments, including the one that says to remember the seventh-day Sabbath. Thus, the Father, who is Time, loved them by marking events in their experience on His own calendar and clocks.

Much instruction is given through His record of time. There is reproof and correction for anyone who is willing to heed. Jesus specifies what He expects in the character of His people. For that purpose, one may still learn from their experiences even though the ones He chose (who organized as the Seventh-day Adventist Church) strayed away from Him and refused to repent, finally falling back into the arms of Harlot Rome. The principles demonstrated in God’s dealings with them remain unchanged, just as we still understand God through His dealings with ancient Israel.

Nevertheless, the people who had the greatest light and opportunity are also the most severely judged for their failure and inexcusable rebellion. Thus, they have a special place in the final clock cycle that points to the result of their rebellion.

The Midnight Wail

DNA transcription in the medium of time One of the most amazing and beautiful revelations of Time is found in the High Sabbath List, where the Lord gives a visual depiction of DNA in time, representing the character of Christ that He desires His church body to have. The sequence is based on a list of High Sabbaths throughout the church’s history, based on the High Sabbath when Jesus’ body lay resting in the tomb as a testament of His sacrifice that made salvation possible. Part of its resemblance to DNA comes from the triplets, or “codons” that encode special traits that together make up the “gene of life.”

For 175 years, from the “start codon” of the first and second angel’s messages until the “double-stop codon” of the Orion message and the Loud Cry, the High Sabbath List (HSL) marks several important developments in the history of the Adventist Church. Thus, through the developments in His chosen people, the Lord gave instruction regarding the character and doctrine that His bride must have.

After the final “double-stop codon” which is used in DNA as a definite signal for the DNA-replicating machinery to end transcription and duplication of the gene, Jesus would have been able to come, except for one problem. The loud cry of that double-stop should have been given by the Adventist Church since Pope Francis’ election, but it was strangely silent. The little group of High Sabbath Adventists who knew the time did not have a big enough voice to make a truly loud cry, and their “mother church,” the Seventh-day Adventists, flatly refused.

Immediately following the end of the HSL in October 2015 came the heavy attack of Satan as he actively sought to destroy the High Sabbath Adventist faith by subduing the nations and hushing the world events that should have been much more dramatic (as they were in the plagues of 2018). Some in our ranks succumbed to his ploy and fell away, but despite the disappointments we faced at that time and though few in number, we were anchored in Time and committed to stay with the Lord, no matter what.

In the last moments when we were excited to finally see the Lord after the toilsome and thankless effort, the Holy Spirit prompted us to ask Him, who is Time, to give more time for others to be saved. We didn’t know how that would work, but soon God began to show us His reversed-time cycles by which we would be able to bring the circumstances all the way back to that fateful year in the history of Adventism when Jesus could have returned in 1890. He would have led His people straight into the heavenly Canaan that year if they had not refused Him. Thankfully, the return trip was made in accelerated time, so that each triplet of the HSL was retraced in half a year, from feast season to feast season.

Then with the publication of Time No Longer, we recognized that the same double-stop codon that had failed in the forward direction was also seen at the end of the trip in 1890! It marked the end of the work of DNA-transcription, when all that was needed for regenerating the gene of life would be complete. With that triplet, the work of the two witnesses and their little church of Philadelphia is done.

The DNA codons in the High Sabbath List

All that remains now is the multiplication phase, and that is where the final triplet of the HSL comes back into view. The Second Coming of Jesus on June 21, 2021 is not according to the feasts, but the addition of the victory cycle brings one last feast season into view, representing the return to the very beginning of the HSL with the “start codon” that included the Millerite Midnight Cry.

According to God’s calendar, the feasts of the year 2021 begin with Passover on April 27. Does that date ring a bell? Of course! It is not only the anniversary of the resurrection-day gamma-ray burst in 2013 and the sign of Jonah, but it is the third in a series of these special anniversary dates: April 27, 2019 was a High Sabbath, which we had earlier identified as “the great and last warning of His return,”[42] when we first published The Sign of the Son of Man.[43] Then, April 27, 2020 was marked by the right throne lines on the Closing cycle as the beginning of the seventh trumpet and later recognized as the sign of the Ark of the Covenant. Finally, April 27, 2021 is therefore the conclusion to this threefold anniversary series, and those who live to see that date will understand how it combines those elements.

The left throne lines begin on May 20, 2021. This date too was marked on the Closing cycle of the clock with Bellatrix on May 20, 2020. The 1335th day was May 19, 2020, touching the day[44] when the blessing was pronounced on those who were invited to the wedding feast.

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. (Revelation 19:9)

Those who reached May 20, 2020 in the faith of the fourth angel could be blessed with special protection, knowing the time, and might even be blessed to depart as part of Philadelphia to be spared altogether from the hour of temptation that comes over the whole world. Yet, in a very practical way, they already received a great blessing that you, dear reader, have also partaken of by reading this article.

Promptly after the 1335 days, there commenced a flood of light that grew day by day into the sign of the Ark of the Covenant. It is this sign that declares the coming of Jesus on June 21, 2021, when the saints will receive eternal life. Within the ark were other objects beside the tables of the law, which have been described as follows:

In the holiest I saw an ark; on the top and sides of it was purest gold. On each end of the ark was a lovely cherub, with its wings spread out over it. Their faces were turned toward each other, and they looked downward. Between the angels was a golden censer. Above the ark, where the angels stood, was an exceeding bright glory, that appeared like a throne where God dwelt. Jesus stood by the ark, and as the saints’ prayers came up to Him, the incense in the censer would smoke, and He would offer up their prayers with the smoke of the incense to His Father. In the ark was the golden pot of manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of stone which folded together like a book… {EW 32.3}

This golden pot of manna that was laid up in the ark represents the spiritual bread that this heavenly sign provides to those who partake of it. This was the blessing—to receive enough nourishment for the remaining year!

The Bible says in the story of the conquest of Jericho that the ark followed the priests, which means that when the ark is seen, the priests have already passed on before:

And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns passed on before the Lord, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them. (Joshua 6:8)

According to the blueprint, this means that the marching of the priests is now over—their role in the conquest has been done. The trumpets have all sounded, the warnings have all been given, and the great mystery of the time of the Lord’s coming has been solved, and this article series is the signal to SHOUT FOR VICTORY!

As for Aaron’s rod, the miracle of its budding still remains to be seen in the fruits of God’s priests who have wrought in His service in present times. But it gives hope that even if, or even after the rod is separated from its roots, God is still able to make it bud.

And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. (Numbers 17:8)

On the “morrow,” the next day/year after the night passes, will you be among those almonds? Will you abide by the terms of God’s covenant by keeping His law through the power of Christ to receive eternal life?

And as God spoke the day and the hour of Jesus’ coming and delivered the everlasting covenant to His people, He spoke one sentence, and then paused, while the words were rolling through the earth. The Israel of God stood with their eyes fixed upward, listening to the words as they came from the mouth of Jehovah, and rolled through the earth like peals of loudest thunder. It was awfully solemn. And at the end of every sentence the saints shouted, “Glory! Alleluia!” Their countenances were lighted up with the glory of God; and they shone with the glory, as did the face of Moses when he came down from Sinai. The wicked could not look on them for the glory. And when the never-ending blessing was pronounced on those who had honored God in keeping His Sabbath holy, there was a mighty shout of victory over the beast and over his image. {EW 34.1}

What a blessing began on May 20, 2020 indeed, with the sign of the ark! And that blessing is called to mind by God’s clock a year later on May 20, 2021. But oh, what a sad contrast is depicted between those who were ready in time versus those who will come at the end of that year!

Afterward came also the [foolish] other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. (Matthew 25:11-13)

Let this point be settled in your mind once and for all: Jesus was warning His disciples that because they didn’t know the day and hour of His return, they were in grave danger of being in the class of foolish virgins! If they would not watch—if they would not look up to heaven, to Orion and the Mazzaroth, where God’s clocks give the time—they would be surprised and come late to the wedding feast.

A comparison of the hour of temptation and the victory cycle

 

A timeline of the hour of temptation and the victory cycle

Was it not on that very day, May 20, AD 31, when Jesus lamented over Jerusalem, who knew not the time of her visitation? He prophesied of a terrible destruction that would come over them.

And [Jerusalem’s enemies] shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. (Luke 19:44)

Don’t make the mistake of thinking this applies to literal modern Israel! Jerusalem was already destroyed in AD 70, but now God gives clear evidence as to who that old, apostate Jerusalem really represents by pointing exactly to the 2021 General Conference Session of His ex-fiancée, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which announces the following on the associated website:

Welcome to the website of the 61st General Conference Session of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, to be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, from May 20 to 25, 2021. The General Conference Session has been adjusted to this date because of the coronavirus COVID-19 crisis that has enveloped the world.

This highest decision-making organ of the church was originally scheduled to meet from June 25 to July 4, 2020—a full ten days, like they normally do every 5 years. The fact that it was pared back and scheduled earlier than its usual June/July timeframe adds to the surprise that they chose exactly the true memorial dates of Jesus’ Passion Week, which were framed by God’s clocks in 2020! Their theme for the Session tells a sad message, when you have the context that God’s clock provides: “Jesus is Coming! Get Involved!”

Isn’t that the cry of the foolish virgins who are startled awake by the Midnight Cry without oil for their lamps? Isn’t that a flat admission that the church has NOT been involved? “Jesus is coming!” “I better hurry and do something to have some light to shine!” Or in their own words, it reflects “the urgency of Total Member Involvement (TMI), everyone doing something for Jesus in winning souls for Him!” Can you hear them banging on the door but being denied entrance?

And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 8:11-12)

The year of the redeemed will then be over. The last throne lines on God’s clock before Jesus returns point to May 20-23, 2021. Not only is it exactly when the 2021 GC Session is scheduled to begin, but it is also the anniversary of the very first General Conference Session held on May 20-23, 1863, when the church was officially organized![45]

The message that God raised up the Adventist Church to deliver must multiply and lighten the earth by the hands of others. By rejecting its calling, that church has demonstrably disqualified itself from the Last Race of the final, seven-cycle week of time from the Saiph year at the end of the Judgment cycle in 2014 to the Saiph point of Jesus’ return in 2021.

The organization of the church in 1863 and the years leading up to it were marked by God with a triplet of the High Sabbath List. It is the triplet that now (on the return trip through the “Character DNA” sequence) marks the end of the “double-stop” command for transcription.

Wise vs. foolish

Those who cling to the Adventist church instead of heeding Jesus’ cry to come out will find themselves receiving her plagues. They are disinherited and cannot advance beyond that point to reach the wedding hall for the feast. While others sound this ultimate and true Midnight Cry, they will be sounding the Midnight Wail.

Then the closing scenes of the sixth seal will come in quick succession in the same segment of the clock as depicted in the closing cycle, concluding with the coals of fire that are scattered over the city[46] at Jesus’ coming.

Through all this story, the wisdom, love, compassion, mercy, patience, justice, and wrath of God are made clear, and we cannot but honor and praise Him for His righteous dealings in the affairs of men.

And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. …

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (Revelation 19:1-2,7)

Will the Lord’s fig tree finally bear fruit in the last cycle? The parable leaves that question open because it depends on you. Jesus needs His bride to be ready, wholly separate from Babylon and full of faith that has been tried and tested in the fire of affliction before she can escape. Some were tried over a long period before, and some must be tried now in a short but intense time. In whatever way God’s people are purified, may the victory cycle be truly that: VICTORY for Christ and His bride!
