Things don’t always go as planned—and with God, they almost never go as we plan—or expect! His ways are far higher than our ways, and our understanding is limited. But God has given us prophecy so that when it comes to pass, we may understand it in the light of present truth. Jesus’ disciples also had many things wrong in their prior conceptions. Jesus’ mission was completely misunderstood, but when He fulfilled the prophecies, they began to grow in the understanding of God’s plan.

Today, God’s church is confident that they will be raptured in advance of the trouble on earth, just like Jesus’ disciples believed that He would deliver them from the Roman bondage. But just as He had a much greater plan for them at that time, so also, He has a much greater purpose for His body today!

There will be severe disappointment. Many will lose their faith, having trusted in easy-believism pastors who never supported the development of a character that can withstand trial and temptation. Will the church survive the hard knocks of reality and persevere until the blessing is realized? Contrary to popular belief, her survival isn’t a foregone conclusion! Jesus could have failed and followed the impulse of His human flesh to take an easier way. Likewise, His church can fail in this appointed time of wrestling like Jacob with the Lord.

Have you received the blessing that will enable you to stand true to the end?

The Blessing of Praise

In Earth’s Final Throes, we saw some astonishing confirmations of the application of the timelines at the end of the book of Daniel, but the blessing that is prophesied to come at the end of the 1335 days on May 20, 2020 has not been well-understood. What is the blessing that God promised for that day and what does it have to do with the abomination of desolation?

It is in revisiting the clock of God that we will come to the answer to these questions. Then our eyes will begin to open to the fuller picture in light of the death of the two witnesses on the forgotten memorial of Jesus’ crucifixion just a few days later on Friday, May 25, 2020. That memorial points us back to the death and burial of Jesus that came at the end of the Passion Week—the last week of Jesus’ ministry before His resurrection. That week began with His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, being received by the common people, who spread their garments and palm branches before Him as their King.

And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. (Mark 11:9-10)

Five days before His crucifixion, that triumphal entry took place on Sunday, May 20, AD 31.^[1] It was the memorial anniversary of that day which was marked this year by the Bellatrix point on the Orion clock. The last week of Jesus’ public ministry is thus memorialized at the beginning and the end on the Son’s and the Father’s clocks, respectively!^[2] It is a momentous and prophetically significant time this year, unlike any year since AD 31!

We see, therefore, that the fulfillment of the blessing of the 1335 days on May 20, 2020 must have a lot to do with the story of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem! At that time, the Lord made an interesting remark when asked to silence the praises of His followers:

And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. (Luke 19:40)

In Jesus’ day, the people praised Him at His triumphal entry on the earthly Jerusalem, but on May 20, 2020, there were no earthly voices to welcome the coming King! Thus, by Jesus’ own prophecy, the stones must have immediately cried out! The question is, what do the stones represent? We can understand this when we consider where Jesus enters, according to the original prophecy that He fulfilled:

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. (Zechariah 9:9)

When Matthew recounts the story, he makes it clear that Jesus rode, not just on the colt, but also on its mother!^[3] They stand for the two Jerusalems: the old, mother Jerusalem on earth, and its “colt”, the New Jerusalem of promise in heaven. Notice who this prophecy of Zechariah mentions should rejoice and shout: the daughter of Zion and the daughter of Jerusalem. But the daughter of Jerusalem shouted out their praises to Jesus in AD 31, so now it is the daughter of Zion’s turn. The biblical language is specific, and Zion is called the mountain of God.^[4] Notice what God said of the covering cherub who had fallen into sin and became Satan:

…I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. (Ezekiel 28:16)

This describes Satan’s eviction from the heavenly courts, God’s holy mountain—Zion. There, he was amidst many angels, leading them in praises to God before his fall.^[5] So when it would come time for the daughter of Zion to give her praises to the King, the Bible points to a heavenly scene where “the stones of fire” would cry out—the praising angels from whose midst Satan was cast out! It was the praising of the angelic hosts that took place on May 20, 2020.

Evil Plotting Amid the Joy

The joy in heaven is certainly a blessing, but the story we are remembering presented mixed emotions that are also connected with the time and help to understand the setting of the blessing. The expectant reception of Jesus was a joyful moment for His humble people, yet it was also a time of sorrow for His discerning Spirit as He saw the condition of the nation’s leaders who had largely rejected Him. Jesus, the Passover Lamb, had been separated from the flock at that time according to the prophetic instruction.^[6] The priests and rulers singled Him out from the welcoming crowd and conspired to kill Him.

As the Savior of the world looked upon that beautiful city, He could not keep back the tears. That city and its leaders, so long the subject of His loving care administered through His prophets and at last even personally in becoming flesh, would not receive Him who sought to save them. They stubbornly resisted His efforts to lift their hearts up to a higher plane.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (Matthew 23:37)

How He had sought to gather His little ones in these last days under His protective wing! Those who would not let Him gather them will not be protected from their enemies. Like in the parable of the unfruitful fig tree that He had previously used to illustrated His relation to Israel,^[7] which showed His untiring labor for them, they will finally be cut down, having failed to bring forth fruit, even after all His labor and patience with them.

And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side [with the lockdowns], And shall lay thee even with the ground [like the barren fig tree in the parable], 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 19:41-44)

As it was in Jesus’ day, so it is today. How few are willing to come under the protection of Time! The next day, when Jesus was hungry, He was given an opportunity to illustrate the parable of Israel’s fate in real life as He found a leafy fig tree and sought food from it. Normally, the figs start growing before the leaves, so He was hopeful.

Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. (Matthew 21:18-19)

The tree was showing signs like one trying unsuccessfully to overcome a long drought.^[8] But once it withered and died, it would soon be cut down.

Thus, a contrast is brought out, which also applies in our day. Blessed are those who believe in advance of the mounting evidence, but cursed are those who refuse to believe, despite the mounted evidence!

The triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem was followed by a curse upon those who rejected Him. In like manner, the blessing of the 1335 days, pointing to the memorial of the triumphal entry, also inherently points to the curse upon the Babylonian kingdom and the enemy with which the timeline began—Pope Francis, the abomination of desolation.^[9]

For this reason, the impending doom that manifested in the statement of Abbas^[10] is a fitting expression for that day. Also connected with that day marked by Bellatrix in Orion is the black horse rider, who carries a pair of balances in hand,^[11] representing the judgment of God over the earth, just as Jesus foretold would come over Jerusalem as He wept over the city.

A Famine of Light

It is a dark and difficult time for the world. Like the leaders plotted Jesus’ death on May 20, AD 31, so the implication is that the world leaders plotted the death of the bride of Christ on May 20, 2020. Yet amid the ungodly push toward the chaos of riots and anarchy in the name of justice, God protects the oil and the wine through the spiritual famine in the time of the black horse rider, Bellatrix:

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny [“denarius”; a day’s wage], and three measures of barley for a penny [famine prices]; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. (Revelation 6:6)

The true church of God has both the oil of the Holy Spirit, by which they give their light,^[12] and the wine of a sacrificial character. She testifies against the lack of brotherly love and humility of heart by which alone an acceptable sacrifice may be given. Those who hear her testimony will also partake of the Spirit of life once again to rise to their feet as overcomers, receiving the covenant of God in their hearts before it is forever too late.

With the condition of the world as it is, we may also weep with Jesus. His weeping over Jerusalem was a type for those like Him in the time of the end (now) who would sigh and cry for the abominations committed in the apostate “city”.

And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. (Ezekiel 9:4)

Today the city represents the entire Christian world who, like Netanyahu’s Jerusalem, has apostatized from God. But those who mourn for the evil committed in the world and the churches (and not just the negative consequences that come to themselves) are marked by God for protection.

They are His bride, the 144,000 who are sealed^[13] and separated from the crowd like Jesus was at the time of His triumphal entry. Is it a coincidence that just like with Jesus, by Friday of that week, the symbolic church of Philadelphia had died? Could it be that the riots that commenced destroying the cities of the United States and the world on that crucifixion Friday, May 25, 2020, are a targeted attack by a secret enemy? Antifa, an anarchist movement known to violently “protest” against criticism of Islam, is suddenly gaining popular support in certain well-funded elite circles!^[14] There are many lies covering the evil workings of the world, so on such matters, we cannot see clearly, but the Bible in connection with the clocks of God shows us the big picture. Consider what we see when we superimpose some signs and special events from former Orion cycles!

Back in the trumpet cycle, when we heard the trumpets sounding in heavenly signs, during the time of the fourth trumpet, the famous great sign of the woman of Revelation 12^[15] was seen, and when superimposed to the present cycle, it falls squarely in the middle of the Passion Week! That suggests a relationship between that sign and the events of the whole week, which we have described in recent articles in relation to the two witnesses!^[16]

Fascinatingly, the sign of the dragon in heaven was discovered on January 7, 2019 in the Orion Nebula during the plagues cycle,^[17] and it was also during that same segment on the Orion clock! The Orion segment is the connecting link between the two signs, which are both described as heavenly signs (or “wonders”) in Revelation 12.^[18] It also connects the overcoming of the two witnesses by the beast from the bottomless pit (dragon) in Revelation 11 with the signs of Revelation 12—which are the chiastic center of the chapters of Revelation. Did you ever wonder how a heavenly sign so clearly described as the great sign of the woman, could be a random circumstance? Without God’s clocks, there is nothing to put the sign in its proper context! It is, after all, a sign that marks a given time, so it is only logical to compare it with God’s clocks!

With this, God shows when we could expect the attack of the dragon against the woman: during the Bellatrix-Betelgeuse segment of the Orion clock during the last cycle, when the memorial of Christ’s crucifixion falls during the same period.

Historically, it is the same segment when the Spirit of Prophecy—the testimony of Jesus^[19] as given through dreams and visions—was taken away from the people God specifically addressed in the Orion Judgment cycle.^[20] Like in the days of the judges of Israel, after their messenger died in 1915, the church was quickly infiltrated during the Betelgeuse-Bellatrix segment and ultimately overcome by Satan completely.

What is most interesting about that is that the year 1915 on the Judgment cycle marks the very place where the ring of fire eclipse-crown is situated in the present cycle on June 21, 2020! This is very symbolic and suggests that we may be entering a time when the living Spirit of prophecy, as manifested in the last Elijah messenger today and presented on this website, may also be taken from the greater body of God’s people in one form or another. If so, it may be that this article is among our last formal publications. This has even been suggested in certain dreams we have received recently. How exactly the Lord leads remains to be seen, but the church needs to be tried, and the clock suggests that the trial will be in relation to the light of the Spirit of prophecy in the church becoming dark.

Will the church survive the ordeal? With the seventh Betelgeuse point on God’s judgment clocks,^[21] the time of His wrath has arrived. All preparation must have already been done. The blessing of the 1335 days that was given on May 20, 2020 has to do with preparation, as we will see momentarily. Betelgeuse marks the seventh (preparatory) trumpet, when the Bible says that the prophetic mystery of God would be finished.

But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. (Revelation 10:7)

The seventh trumpet sounds with Betelgeuse, and the mystery of God is finished. The chiastic prophecy of Daniel 12, whose focal point was the Orion imagery of the man centered over the river, swearing the covenant between two men on either bank, is now being fulfilled in this final cycle. Jesus is crowned at the center of the covenant, before the two cherubim on either side of the river of Time in fulfillment of the oath He swore in Daniel 12.

The Lord called Brother John to ministry about 15 years ago with the understanding of the message that he must prophesy again about measuring the wall of the Holy City. Then, 12 years ago, God gave him the key to understanding the Orion message through the oath of the man over the river, which represents the covenant of God with man, symbolized by the number 12. And 10 years ago, he understood how those who have a heart to keep the Ten Commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ^[22] are given His message from Orion.

Now, in this seventh judgment cycle, the wall of protection afforded by the Ten Commandments of His covenant is measured. The commission of the successor to William Miller to clear away the cloud of dust from his chest of treasures has been accomplished. This excerpt from the closing lines of Thou must prophesy again… wherein Brother John’s first study was presented, is applicable now more than ever:

The greatest treasure that [William] Miller found was the beginning of the heavenly judgment. In 2004/2005, another treasure hunt began when the prophesied second “Miller” picked up where the pioneers left off, and he found what was to be “prophesied again”—the end of the heavenly judgment and imminent return of Jesus.

With the treasures of the lost ark being found, the last terrible movements will be rapid, and none will be left untried, regardless of their position in the church. Many will not survive, just as the unwise virgins who neglected to prepare were unable to attend the wedding feast because they had not prepared for the delay that consumed their supply of oil. Which class of virgins are you part of? Or are you even still defiled with the churches? Was your preparation sufficient?

Made Ready

With the scenes surrounding Jesus’ triumphal entry, we are ready to understand the true meaning of the blessing of the 1335 days. On the memorial of Jesus’ entry into Old Jerusalem, while doom looms over the earth, our heavenly King made a glorious entry into the New Jerusalem in heaven. In order to make such an entry into the heavenly city, that heavenly city must have been complete—all the mansions of the Father’s house have been prepared and are ready!

In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:2-3)

Is the blessing becoming clear now? Jesus has finished preparing all the places for His children! And having done so, we can be sure that He will not be held back but He is finally coming with His glorious kingdom to receive us to Himself! Do you recognize the implication of this? Revelation speaks of the bride of Christ as the Holy City,^[23] but if Jesus has finished preparing the places there, that means that His bride on earth has been made ready as well! In other words, the 144,000 have all been found and sealed, and have a place prepared for them in the Holy City!^[24]

The wife of the Lamb is described in heavenly terms as the Holy City herself with a high protective wall with twelve pearly gates and twelve foundations of glistening stones. The redeemed of all ages shall enter the dazzling city of the bride of Christ in purity. These are tangible illustrations for how Jesus sees His people as a beautiful treasure.

Bellatrix is the one star in Orion with a feminine name, and thus represents the pure woman—the bride. That star marks the end of the hour of counsel^[25] on the clock when she was completely sealed and ready for the bridal procession!

The triumphal blessing of the 1335 days therefore encompasses the beginning of the procession to the wedding feast! The overcoming bride has been made ready for her Husband! What a glorious earthly reality to accompany Jesus’ triumphal entry in heaven as a worthy conclusion to that great prophetic timeline on the memorial of Jesus’ own triumphal entry on earth! Do you understand better why God associated the blessing of the invitation to the wedding supper with that date!?

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)

It is a call to the knowledge of the time! The true Midnight Cry has sounded, proclaiming the time of the Second Coming with four voices in the series, Coronageddon and the Silver Trumpet. The blessing on the 1335th day is the assurance that Jesus is coming again at the time revealed by the Father through His servants as written in that series! There shall be no further delay; the waiting time is over! The Lamb’s wife has made herself ready and Jesus has entered the heavenly city, received the key of David,^[26] by which He may enter the precincts of the palatial “City of David”. There, the heavenly wedding will take place on June 21, 2020, where He will be crowned with glory like the ring-of-fire, by the covering cherub on the other side of the ark, where their wings touch.

That is the wedding ring of the Lamb, given as a sign to His bride. The wedding rings that many wear on their finger are believed to have originated as a symbol for the keys to the husband’s household and possessions.^[27] That is a fitting description of our Lord’s gift for His people, whose cases will then all be decided. All hearts will be set, and those who are evil will continue in their wickedness, while those who are holy will increase in holiness.^[28] May that sign and the knowledge of Time sustain the faith of God’s children until the end!

The ark of God’s covenant will be fully revealed as the carrying-rod throne lines of September 3-6 arrive for all to see. When the light from heaven ceases from the Betelgeuse point forward, Michael stands up,^[29] now crowned, to travel to the earth for His bride. Then most good—as well as most evil—spirits arise to repeat history^[30] in “a time of trouble such as never was”. Those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus will glisten like stars^[31] in the darkest hour of earth’s history until at last, the final destruction of Babylon and the glorious appearing of our Lord invigorates His yearning, praying saints and draws them to Himself in rapturous praise and glory. This is the hope that Jesus ratified on May 20, 2020, as the bride was made ready, confirming that the final rapid acts of history could be set in motion!

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come [at Betelgeuse], and his wife hath made herself ready [past tense: at Bellatrix]. (Revelation 19:7)

Are you ready for His ring of fire?
