On June 24, 2022, the world was looking intently to a heavenly phenomenon: a planet parade was taking place. Headlines like the following dotted the news:

Planetary alignment on June 24, 2022

The most spectacular planet parade of the year will take place on the morning of June 24. Observers will see five planets of the Solar System aligned in the sky: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. In fact, this will be a seven-planet alignment as Neptune and Uranus will also join the celestial show. However, these two giant planets are too dim to be spotted with the naked eye.

Many YouTubers spoke about the parade and related it to a possible time for the rapture, but the date came and went, and the church is still on the earth. Could God have been pointing to a different special event with this planetary alignment? This world is fast becoming unbearable for all those who love the Lord and desire to live according to His ways. As the freedom to live according to the dictates of one’s personal belief in God is being eroded on all fronts, the burning question in the minds and hearts of the weary faithful ones is, how long would it be until deliverance and retribution are executed? It is especially at those times when Jesus encourages us to look up with understanding of the time!^[1]

The timing of this parade of planets was very important because the ark of the covenant was becoming visible on the heavenly canvas in the borders of the same stretch of the firmament where the planets were parading. When people were watching the planet parade, they (inadvertently) directed their eyes toward the ark of the covenant! The book of Revelation prophesies of this ark:

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 11:19)

It was precisely at the completion of this ark of the testament depiction on July 16/17 that the same participants of the planetary parade (in addition to other actors like comets) took their places to fulfill a sign that the Bible describes in the following way:

And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. (Revelation 15:1)

This sign is called “great and marvelous” and therefore it must be of extreme importance for the time in which it appears; this is because it announces the strange work^[2] that the Lord will do then on the earth. The actors of the planet parade have a solemn duty to perform, and the Lord aligned them and made them visible to the world to draw the attention of His children to this great and marvelous sign because it represents the seven angels with the seven last plagues of the wrath of God!^[3]

This sign is a warning that God’s wrath will fall upon all those who choose to disobey His law,^[4] which is the law of true liberty and love. The fact that this great and marvelous sign of the outpouring of the plagues with the planet parade actors formed at the time when the ark of the covenant was fully portrayed in the heavens shows the perfect timing of the Lord and how His law, contained in the ark, is the standard of judgment.

As we look at the participants in the planetary parade and their positions at the time when this great and marvelous sign formed, you will recognize that it portrays the story of the controversy between good and evil and shows who the winner of that conflict is. This sight is a fearful sign for the transgressors of the law, but to those who are faithful to God, it is a sign of deliverance from the yoke of Babylon and of retribution for her oppression.

Looking at the Mazzaroth on July 16, 2022, during the study time at the temple of the White Cloud Farm on the Sabbath when this sign was discovered—we see that Mercury and the sun start exiting the winter hexagon at that point^[5] while they were in conjunction in the constellation of Gemini,^[6] right at the tip of the left pole of the ark of the testament that was finished precisely by that time.^[7] The ark of the covenant was thus ready to be carried into the last battle.

Hence, the twins Pollux and Castor of the constellation of Gemini may be understood to be the first two plague angels, while their two vials holding their respective plagues are represented by Mercury and the sun. As we have studied before, Pollux represents Jesus in His role as King, while Castor kneels as the church in service to her King. It is done: Jesus has delivered His covenant to His children and is now ready to allow the seven last plagues to be poured out without mixture upon the impenitent world, which has oppressed His faithful ones on all fronts. He is the Protector of those who have entered into a covenant relationship with Him and the Destroyer of those who have spurned Him.

As our gaze continues along the ecliptic, we find Venus in the hand of Orion on the very same day.

Looking closely, you can see that Venus stands indeed within the borders of Orion and not Taurus. Thus, it is Orion who, having represented Jesus in His role as the great High Priest, now serves as the third plague angel. The clock of Orion showed how Jesus interceded for humanity from the beginning until these very last days, and warned the world to prepare for His coming in light of the fulfillment of the prophecies of the book of Revelation. On July 16-17, Orion held Venus in his hand as the plague vial. As long as Jesus interceded it was possible for us to receive forgiveness of sins and to learn how we can perfectly fulfill His law by faith. For those who accepted His sacrifice, He is seen in this great and marvelous sign as the One who holds His church (Venus) in His hand, while for the rejectors of His grace, He is represented as a fierce battle angel pouring out his vial filled with its part of the wrath of God.

The fourth plague angel that comes into view is the Lamb, Aries, as making war at the end of time.

This is a prophesied depiction of Jesus—adding to the fierceness of the great and marvelous sign the very same day. He is holding the vial of Mars, the war planet! Although Revelation 17:14 speaks of the nations making war against the Lamb, the promise is that the Lamb will be victorious and shall overcome them!

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. (Revelation 17:14)

So far, we have encountered four plague angels that are associated with Jesus and His people, uniting their forces to fight the battle of Armageddon. Will we also find their enemies in this great and marvelous sign?

Following down the trail of the ecliptic, we find next the fifth plague vial, Jupiter, carried by the whale’s tail. The plague angel Cetus represents the sea monster Leviathan and is depicted as lurking under the ark of the covenant, ready to cause God’s faithful ones to be distracted and fall from following His law. However, Aries is observing from just above—the Lamb who will gain the final victory.

Aquarius is next and plays the sixth plague angel, which in this context of the role of an enemy of God like Cetus symbolizes the LGBT god who poisons the waters with his false doctrines, masquerading tolerance of sin as love.

This god is the world’s counterfeit to the depiction of God the Father who hates sin but loves the sinner, and from whom flows the pure water of life that corrects the spiritual errors and heals the soul. The moon is there as the vial ready to be poured out upon all those who have rejected that living water that streams from the true Father. The moon also has a major role in the 1960s hippie song “Aquarius”^[8] at the beginning of the sexual revolution.

The pure water coming from the stream of the Father was highlighted by the proclamation of time that was given by God’s voice through the Hunga Tonga eruption. Therefore, this plague angel is of great significance and a huge enemy; he will fight against the same constellation that represented the mighty angel who cast a great millstone into the sea as an illustration of the violence with which Babylon will be destroyed.

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)

The seventh plague angel is the epitome of evil: Capricornus, which represents Satan. The vial he is holding is represented by Saturn, which is also a figure for Satan. This last of the seven portrayed angels shows the severity of the judgments that will fall during the outpouring of these seven plagues, because the last plague angel (Capricornus) and his vial (Saturn) are both directly connected with the one upon whose kingdom the plagues are poured out.

Do you see how Satan’s army (Cetus, Aquarius, and Capricornus) is outnumbered by God’s army (the twins of Gemini, Orion, and Aries)?

This wonderful imagery should strengthen us to endure the time of trouble as we look up with confidence to our Deliverer—the Destroyer^[9] of those who rejected Him, while the Savior of those who embraced His sacrifice.

The text of the sixth seal in Revelation 6 prophesies how Satan’s subjects will respond to the outpouring of the wrath of God. They will be terrified…

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)

By faith we recognized this great and marvelous sign on July 16, 2022, when we also heard the last thunder of the proclamation of time from the eruption of the Hunga Tonga volcano—after several pauses, as it was prophesied. This amazing proclamation of time is described in the article The Midnight Thunder, which reveals the greatness of God and His perfect timing for the deliverance of all those who choose His law as their standard of character.

On that day, we also assumed that as in the type of Noah, seven days of being “enclosed” in the fully drawn ark of the covenant must transpire before the outpouring of the plague “rain” would manifest. Would our faith be recompensed and become sight on July 23, 2022, at the end of those seven days? This date was also indicated through Pastor Dana Coverstone in his “Precision Dream” where he saw the four o’clock hour on a clock tower when trouble came upon the earth. This clock tower that was first seen as marking three o’clock is a reference to the Horologium whose four o’clock hour fell indeed on July 23, as the eighth day according to the Noah type.

With perfect timing and precision, the WHO’s announcement hit the press right on July 23 with headlines such as the following:

World Health Organization chief says monkeypox is now a global emergency

The verse from the first plague states the following:

And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. (Revelation 16:2)

This first plague is poured out as a “grievous sore” which monkey pox is a fulfillment of, as we can conclude by the type of virus that resembles this grievous sore and the timing of the declaration of the global emergency precisely on July 23, 2022, the eighth day in the ark of the testament. This WHO declaration confirmed the great and marvelous sign and the beginning of the outpouring of the seven last plagues with the utmost precision. When reading about what groups the virus is predominantly found among, we understand why the Bible text specifies a particular group of people upon whom this first plague is poured out. It is yet to be observed how the monkeypox emergency will be used to further oppress the world and push forth vaccination, perhaps even with DNA changing mRNA vaccines, as it was before in the second woe of Coronageddon.

It was also on that same day of July 23, 2022, when the German “Bundestag” (parliament)—for the first time ever—flew a pride flag at the Christopher Street Day Parade as a way of worshipping the image^[10] of the beast, just as the verse of the first plague declares. This happening in Berlin where Satan’s throne is, is also alluded to in the fifth plague, which refers back to the sores of the first plague:

And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. (Revelation 16:10-11)

The plagues have begun to be poured out undiluted and they will manifest themselves soon in greater intensity. On July 23, 2022, the news also revealed that Russia attacked the major grain exporting port of Odesa in Ukraine less than 24 hours after signing a grain deal. This major provocation has the potential to fuel the conflict – even the UN is involved in the grain deal – and contribute to the fulfillment of the outpouring of the second plague that is poured out “upon the sea,” meaning Europe:

And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. (Revelation 16:3)

As the seven plague angels continue to pour out their vials, the inhabitants of this world will experience a time of trouble such as never was, but all those who have chosen Christ as their Savior and have committed themselves to obeying His law—forsaking the ways of Babylon—have the promise and assurance of protection.

Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. (Psalms 91:9-10)

Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. (Isaiah 26:20)

As in the time when the children of Israel were in Egypt, the plagues were a sign of their imminent deliverance from slavery. The present outpouring of the plagues is the assurance that Babylon is being recompensed for its deeds and that the Deliverer is imminently coming to rescue all those who “follow the Lamb withersoever He goeth.”

These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. (Revelation 14:4)

In this time of greatest trouble, though solemn and exciting, we invite each of our readers to abide in the ark of truth and watch with us attentively for the fulfillments of the prophecies that give us the assurance of the nearness of our Lord. We will continue to report on the significance of the events that transpire in the world in relation to the outpouring of the plagues in the Seven Plagues News group on our social network, which we encourage you to visit and share with others. Feel free to join our Refuge community; we would be happy to have your participation. There is also a forum where we can study the voice of God together to receive the necessary understanding that will sustain us firmly “looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.”
