In this second part of the series about the moving heavenly signs, which the Lord gives as the final proof that only a short while yet remains of His loving grace, the dear reader will discover how the second trumpet was fulfilled. We embark and sail out on the heavenly sea, so as not to miss when a great mountain burning with fire crashes into the water, not without causing devastating harm to the celestial marine life.
We will decipher the true goal of the attack of the terrible sea god, and observe how the last downpour of the latter rain upon mankind happens. We quickly slurp up the last few drops of the Water of Life, before the giant water snake goes to poison the rivers of Eden while the third trumpet begins to sound.
Many know about the red dragon from Revelation 12, but few are aware that he has a sister who is lurking to dig up the nest of the 144,000 and devour them. A loud cry is made, and all eyes look up to heaven, from whence a great stellar lamp falls upon the springs of Eden, and is extinguished by them. An unproven theory will become a certainty, and thenceforth will we know our true origin.
Let’s take another look at the picture of the interlocking of the parts of the second trumpet, as we had already understood by the time it began on March 6, 2017:
Spanning 136 days, the core time of the second trumpet is the second longest period in the trumpet cycle, second only to the 180 days of the fifth trumpet. In this span of over four months, we should have seen clearly what the Lord warns us of!
Certainly the loudest noise came from North Korea, which launched four rockets into the Sea of Japan[1] on the very first day of the trumpet, namely March 6, 2017. Thereupon came an unprecedented response from the USA, which said that “the era of strategic patience is over” with North Korea and that they “had not ruled out military action.”[2] China was later to be used by the US as the last trump card to yet bring Kim Jong-un to back down.[3] He was unfazed, however, by all the various sanctions, because he knew that China itself was not interested in disrupting its flourishing trade relations with his country.
In the time of the second trumpet, a total of three US Navy fleets reached Korean waters, each led by a powerful Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.[4] The threat of force became increasingly menacing, and anyone who was able to follow the news about it, and could still think, was aware that something had changed in the twenty years of the trouble with North Korea. Suddenly discussion was opened about atomic war, which the US Secretary of Defense, James Mattis, described as the worst kind of fighting in most people’s lifetimes, if it would occur.[5]
We—many brethren in our movement, and no doubt some of our readers—expected “the third part of the ships to be destroyed” by the end of the core time of the second trumpet. We suspected that North Korea might launch a missile with a nuclear warhead at one of the three aircraft carriers, thus destroying a “third part of the ships.” That didn’t happen by the end of the core time, however. Was then the second trumpet not yet completely fulfilled? Had the warning not been given?
What we still hadn’t understood was that the trumpets can be “heard” and “seen,” but we don’t yet experience what they point to, namely the corresponding plague. The plague will then be the reality that the trumpet warned of!
The same is true with the heavenly signs. We see them by moving the scopes of a planetarium program, but we are not yet experiencing the real “shaking” of the heavens where the judgments that are depicted there really come. They, too, are ultimately just signs of something devastating, which will occur only once God’s grace has been fully exhausted.
Take a look at the following video, and “see” and “hear” (even though the language is Korean) what is going on there.
One second before the US aircraft carrier is virtually destroyed by an atomic bomb, at minute 1:08 you can clearly make out the word “Paektusan.” That is indeed the name of the supervolcano depicted on North Korea’s national emblem, and which also defines their border with China.[6] It is beyond my knowledge whether the term here refers to the North Korean rockets of the same name,[7] or to the country’s national symbol[8] and its “destructive power.” One thing is certain, however: the expression “a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea” is directly connected to the “third part of the ships being destroyed,”[9] thus fulfilling the Bible prophecy exactly.
This war of words is certainly not mere saber-rattling, however. Straight words were spoken here, and mankind was prepared and preprogrammed for atomic war through the increasingly serious media headlines. It was planted in the minds of the people that a “local” war with North Korea would only affect the surrounding region, and that North Korea would be prevented from acquiring intercontinental missiles capable of reaching the US mainland or Europe. What was nowhere to be read was that such a “local” nuclear war, which would probably even destroy South Korea and Japan with nuclear weapons, would have worldwide impact, and the nuclear contamination could affect the entire planet. What has already been known for the past decades of the last century has now been swept under the carpet, and the lack of such information has given people the idea that they would not be touched by the nuclear war way over in the Far East. What a clever lie! There wasn’t much talk about the real dangers, so people think there aren’t really any.
Therefore, we must be very careful when we study the trumpets. There are various ways that Satan attempts to conceal the truth, on several levels. After all, it’s only about one real goal: the eradication of the last remaining true Christians from this planet, who want to keep the commandments of God!
Perhaps the rumors of outright nuclear war, which are growing ever louder around us, are also meant to distract from the true attack!? Could it be that a glance at the heavens will help us further again? Perhaps we’ll find there a moving picture of the statement that “the third part of the sea became blood” or that “the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died”? And is it possible that we might obtain more details there, which will point us along the path of truth?
That would be the heavenly reflection of what we saw in the trumpet of Plan A, when the Pacific Ocean was so contaminated that the Fukushima radioactivity had already reached the US mainland.[10] In 2014, many news reports started covering the terrible fish die-offs in the Pacific Ocean. The speculation that the contamination of the ocean would have an impact on sea life became a certainty.
So let’s move the heavens around March 6, 2017. Can you see how a burning mountain falls into the sea and kills a third of the living creatures in the sea, how the third part of the sea becomes blood, and how this sign stands for something far greater that happened on the earth in the core time of the second trumpet?
If you skip the video and continue reading here, you won’t understand what I’m talking about. Time and again I notice that our articles have higher click rates than the videos presented in the article. So watch the video first, and then read on!
At the end of the video, I said that the real divine warning in the heavens has something to do with the image of man (Aquarius) and woman (Venus in the fishes). Mercury, which often stands for the messenger of the gods—an angel, Satan in this case—hurts the fishes (Christians) by the destruction of an image (the reflection of the fish). The whole thing happens in the sea, and those who have been paying attention have known for a long time that the sea, according to Revelation 17:15,[11] is an area on the earth where there are many peoples and languages, in contrast to the desert where few people live. It is therefore a generally accepted practice among Bible students to equate the “sea” with multicultural Europe and the “desert” with pre-colonial America. The “earth” could then—but doesn’t have to—stand for populated America.
With His heavenly sign, God thus points to the destruction of the image of God—mankind, created as man and woman—somewhere in the sea of the peoples of Europe: an event which was to take place during the core period of the second trumpet, and which God sees as a bloody and life-threatening danger to Christians (fish).
God was warning, of course, of the sudden and utterly unexpected[12] introduction of “marriage for all” in Germany[13] on June 30, 2017, near the end of the core time of the second trumpet. The image of God is, however, mankind as created by Him:
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (Genesis 1:27)
He says in the next verse why He created them so:
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. (Genesis 1:28)
It is correct to understand God’s blessing in this verse as the inauguration of the marriage institution. With blessing through marriage, God gave mankind the command to multiply heterosexually, which makes a homosexual union into a non-blessed—and thus unholy—union. The first animals named in the verse of the marriage vow as being under the dominion of mankind, are the “fish of the sea”! Should “Adam and Eve” have dominion over them, or “Venus and Aquarius,” which are actually symbols for Satan?
If the image of God is the marriage of man and woman,[14] the image of Satan (the beast) is homosexual marriage, which follows from LGBT tolerance.[15] Thus, if same-sex marriage is the image of the beast, the same-sex marriage certificate is the mark of the beast. What then, by contrast, is the seal of God? What did He stamp, certify, and seal His creation with, after the inauguration of marriage and the declaration of its purpose? With the Sabbath. Then what is the Sabbath? The divine marriage certificate for a marriage in His image!
As a result, any state or church that permits same-sex marriage, or clears the way for it through LGBT acceptance, takes the mark of the beast. They certify (with their right hand, i.e. by a legal action) marriage between two same-sex partners! And anyone who approves of it with his mind and allows these things without protest, or without leaving the organized churches, takes the mark of the beast on his forehead. No, the mark of the beast is not a chip, but the breaking of the first divine institution from Eden, and contempt for the crown of creation and thus all creation; it is blasphemy against God’s true image.
Two fishes were hurt in the heavenly sign. They are mirror images of each other. Remember what happened in the fifth trumpet of the first trumpet cycle! On June 26, 2015, the United States introduced same-sex marriage. If trumpet cycles A and B are placed side by side, an astonishing fact comes to light: same-sex marriage was introduced in the USA and Germany in the same pie slice of the Orion clock! When the New World finally rejected the God of creation in the Bible in the LGBT Pride Month of June, 2015, we were in the fifth trumpet of the trumpet cycle of Plan A, while the Old World with Germany at the head also decided to expel the God of the country in the month of the unclean-bird movement in 2017. June 30, 2017 fell into the second trumpet in the backwards-running trumpet cycle, but it is the same segment of the Orion clock. The “image of the beast” had thus formed a mirror image—i.e. completely.
The United States truly turned out to be the second beast (wilderness and earth) of Revelation 13, which says “to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” It is or was Protestant general knowledge that the first beast is the papacy with its sun-cult ruler who has his religious throne in Rome. Satan’s political throne, however, is really where the Vatican’s secret service was founded: in Germany, the most powerful country in Europe, where the Jesuits had long ago started Freemasonry.[16] Pope Francis himself is working in secret, and it is no wonder that Angela Merkel kissed the ring of the pope in Rome not even two weeks before she totally unexpectedly cleared the way for the vote on homosexual marriage in Germany.[17]
These two topics, the true mark of the beast and the introduction of homo-marriage in Germany as the beginning of the Age of Aquarius, are so extensive that I have decided to have two of my fellow authors write about them. So, please consider the above as a highly condensed summary, so as not to drift too far from my real topic, the moving of the heavens.
Are we slowly beginning to understand what God wants to show us with the trumpets?
It is Joel who gave us the most important prophecy for the circumstances surrounding the signs in heaven. Even Peter repeated it:
And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: (Acts 2:19)
Both must happen simultaneously: wonders or signs in heaven, and on earth death, fires and a lot of smoke. In English, we have the word smokescreen, which I like very well in this context. Happenings take place on the earth that conceal the truth behind them, like a smokescreen. Yes, the nations are now getting angry[18] and the Third World War will start in the sixth trumpet, but hidden behind it all is the dragon’s battle against the remnant of God’s people.
We should now recognize that the heavenly signs are to help us distinguish the events that are truly important, and are warnings for our salvation, from the rather unimportant saber-rattling. They are signs from the throne of God that accompany us and show us where God’s focus is. God sees through the smoke pillars of North Korea’s volcano-rockets, and sees the machinations of the first and second beasts in striving to nullify His authority as Creator by distorting His image.
That is why Peter says immediately afterwards:
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name [G3686] of the Lord shall be saved. (Acts 2:20-21)
Name [G3686], Greek onoma, means authority! So only those will be saved who acknowledge the authority of God and stand up in the battle for marriage in God’s image. He who says nothing, and doesn’t cry out, will also receive the plagues of God, like the ones who let the people marry or get married in the image of Satan. How pathetically, on the other hand, do the great Christian associations behave, like the EKD in Germany, leading the parades of the immoral, even distributing condoms promoting homosexual marriage with the official blessing of the church.[19] Anyone in the vicinity of Luther’s tomb will hear sounds from deep below. The hero of the Reformation no longer rests in peace in his Jubilee year.
The realization as to what the image and mark of the beast really are, was the last great gift of the latter rain. This ultimate knowledge was gained by studying the wonders in heaven during the core time of the second trumpet. We realized as early as 2015 that instead of the Sunday Law prophesied by Ellen G. White coming literally, there would be an attack on marriage, the twin institution to God’s Sabbath.[20] The last great milestone in the latter rain was how much the Sabbath, as the seal of creation, is connected with the marriage of man and woman as the crown of creation. The latter rain ended with that insight.
Shortly before the blast of the third trumpet, two of our brethren had dreams, independent of each other, confirming what I also knew: namely, that the last drops of the latter rain had fallen, and that the Adventists had not gotten wet. The third trumpet will now ripen the wheat and tares. The rain had to stop for the grain to reach its full maturity. Then, in the fourth trumpet, one can distinguish and separate the good wheat from the deceptively similar, but poisonous, tares. However, we still have to investigate where the poison in the tares came from!
Another sensational milestone in the deciphering of the hieroglyphics of Revelation was the discovery that the harvest texts of Revelation 14:13-19 run parallel to the seven last trumpets. Each of the seven trumpets can be clearly assigned a harvest text. In the last part of the legacy series, I will also show the last skeptic and critic the “harvest sign” taking place in heaven exactly at the stated point in time at every single “sickle” of the harvest texts. The proof of the double heavenly signs, which confirm both the trumpet and the harvest texts, cannot be denied, and that also explains why we reserve that knowledge for the last section of our will.
If one now recognizes that belonging to the harvest of the good wheat or to the vintage of the bad grapes depends on the recognition of the true meaning of the mark of the beast, then one also understands what the messenger of God, who to her own regret was not the last Elijah, meant when she said:
I saw that God had children who do not see and keep the Sabbath. They have not rejected the light upon it. And at the commencement of the time of trouble, we were filled with the Holy Ghost as we went forth and proclaimed the Sabbath more fully. This enraged the churches and nominal Adventists, as they could not refute the Sabbath truth. And at this time God’s chosen all saw clearly that we had the truth, and they came out and endured the persecution with us. I saw the sword, famine, pestilence, and great confusion in the land. The wicked thought that we had brought the judgments upon them, and they rose up and took counsel to rid the earth of us, thinking that then the evil would be stayed. {EW 33.2}
We are told in the Supplement of the quoted book that when she uses the term “commencement of the time of trouble,” Ellen G. White speaks of a time that is still before the plagues. In Adventism, therefore, the term “little time of trouble” has been coined. Of course, the persecution described there, and also the calling out from Babylon, takes place during the trumpet warnings. However, only those who properly understand the mark of the beast or Babylon can belong to the harvest of the good wheat! The Bible says that all the others will fall prey to deception:
And he [the second beast—the USA and apostate Protestantism] exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. (Revelation 13:12-14)
Since we were warned of the completion of the mark of the beast by the introduction of its reflection in Germany and the Old World in the second trumpet by a grand, moving heavenly sign, it is logical to assume that the core time of the third trumpet is when many people make the decision that ripens them into good or bad wheat. Do we see something in the heavens again, to confirm this view?
In the last part of Signs in Heaven, I have already shown that in the third trumpet the sign of Hydra appears in the heavens, lurking with her head in front of the hiding place of the remnant. Revelation 13 describes an animal that was wounded unto death by a sword, but which healed again. When the head of a hydra is cut off, two grow back. In 1798, this deadly wound was inflicted on the papacy, when Pope Pius VI was captured by Napoleon’s General Berthier, and later died in prison. The papacy had thus lost its pre-eminence in Europe (and the world).
Today we see the wound of the Hydra healed in three ways:
All the world is worshiping the first beast again, and the papacy has not only regained its power in the Old World (Europe), but has also openly demonstrated its immense expansion of power in 2015, when Pope Francis, Satan masquerading as an angel of light, spoke before the US Congress and the UN at its headquarters in New York, and made his instructions and commands known to these powerful human instruments. The power of the pope has doubled like the head of Hydra. The importance of this event was prophesied by Daniel more than 2600 years ago when he said that if we want to know when the end has come, we should begin counting from that time on:
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. (Daniel 12:10-12)
The second application of the verses about the healing of the wound of the beast lies in the historically unprecedented fact that we have two popes at present: one emeritus and one reigning. Rome has two heads, like the healed wound of a hydra. In this state of affairs, we can clearly see when the deadly wound was healed, namely, when Pope Francis appeared on the world stage on March 13. Now, two popes are working behind the scenes of the smokescreen, on their secret agenda to establish Satan’s throne forever. It is important to mention that the Hydra had an immortal head, which is obviously the only one depicted in the heavens. Pope Benedict XVI is clearly mortal, while Lucifer, the angel of light, is immortal by definition. Therefore, it is the head of Pope Francis that we see, with his mouth opened wide to devour the remnant.[21]
The third aspect is what we see playing out on the earth between the second beast of Revelation 13 (the USA) and the rest of the Hydra’s heads (those not shown on the heavenly canvas) as a reason for the earthly events—blood, fire, and smoke. We have already seen the conflicts flare up between Israel and the Palestinians, as well as the columns of smoke from Kim Jong-un’s midrange rockets, which have now developed into a serious threat to the US in the form of real ICBMs.[22] Each trumpet brings in more actors, and the third is a whole army, as we shall soon see.
The heavenly sign of the Hydra thus indicates that the growing conflicts in the world serve only to conceal the pontifical Satan’s true intentions, and to attack the little remnant of true Christians. Whoever doesn’t yet know what the mark of the beast is, will have to drink his poisoned water.
Take a look at the picture of the heavens on July 20, 2017, the beginning of the third trumpet. Astronomically speaking, it is the first day that the sun is in Cancer, which represents the hiding-place of the remnant, since it houses the “manger” (Praesepe, or the Beehive Cluster).
The text of the third trumpet warns:
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. (Revelation 8:10-11)
Here we are talking about the poisoning of the rivers and springs, that is, the formerly healthy divine doctrines. Who bears the cup of poison in the picture? Hydra, or the “water snake” in other languages!
Look closely: on the heavenly canvas, Hydra brings the cup of Rome from Revelation 17 with her tail.
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (Revelation 17:4-5)
It is the wine of her fornication, the acceptance of homosexuals in the nations and churches, which makes the Babylonians so drunk that they are no longer aware that they are in Babylon. With pride they babble all the well-known clichés of “God is love!” around the truly loving, but also holy God, to provoke Him to finally mete out justice.
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? (Deuteronomy 32:32-34)
Yes, it is sealed in the archives of God, His treasury on the heavenly canvas, that the Hydra brings with it the poison of fornication in the cup of Babylon, and thus tries to bring even the very elect to fall, if it were possible.[23] Once upon a time, the elect were the members of the Seventh-day Adventist church, but their organization also took the bitter poison of the two dragons, and that started long ago.
This poison is bitter, because it comes from the gallbladder of the Hydra. Greek mythology also describes what we see painted on the heavenly canvas:
Ovid also depicts the adventures of Heracles or Hercules. As his second heroic labour, Hercules would defeat the Hydra. The first attempt to hack off its many heads was unsuccessful, as is well known, because new heads grow. But when he burns the wounds of the chopped-off heads with fire, no more heads grow back. Hercules dips his arrows in the gall of the dead Hydra, thereby providing them with a deadly poison. [Translated]
The constellation of the Crater (meaning “cup” in Latin) is located along Hydra quite exactly where snakes usually have their gallbladder. Gall (or bile) is known to be bitter like wormwood, and in the Bible both “poisons” are used synonymously. There is a fantastic study on the biblical similarities between gall and wormwood, which unfortunately would be completely out of scope for me to cover here. At the beginning, though, we can read:
Wormwood is the English translation of Artemisia Absinthium (ref. illustration), a bitter shrub.
Hebrew la`anah, from Arabic root meaning to curse.
Greek apsinthion (Rev 8:11).
Gall is the English translation of (1) the poppy and its juice (opium) and (2) bile from the liver and gallbladder.
1. Poppy
Hebrew ro’sh = gall; the poppy, so called from its heads.
Hebrew me-ro’sh = juice of poppies, opium (Jer. 8:14; 9:15; 23:15); hence poison, (Deut. 32:32, 33; Job 20:16); synonymous with bitter, poison, venom.
2. Bile
Hebrew merorah, for gall (from gallbladder), poison, venom, or a bitter thing.
Greek chole = gall, bile.
Wormwood or “gall,” namely opium, are both intoxicating poisons. They are the poison in the wine of the impure woman, who makes men drunk.
And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. (Revelation 17:1-2)
It is the great whore, the Roman Church with Satan at its head, which causes people to become animals and calls all sorts of sexual debauchery “love.” They do not even stop crucifying the Son of God afresh. And what most people overlook is the fact that Pope Francis paved the way for it with his famous statement, “Who am I to judge a homosexual?”[24]
God warns us...
Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood; (Deuteronomy 29:18)
God compares the seductive woman who brings death, with the bitter poison...
For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. (Proverbs 5:3-4)
God says what He means when He speaks of “wormwood”...
Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, (Amos 5:7)
However, God likewise also shows us the way out...
Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name: (Amos 5:8)
But because they didn’t want to accept the latter rain...
And the Lord saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them: Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink. (Jeremiah 9:13-15)
When you move the picture of the heavens, as I did in the last part of my sermon, you see that in the third trumpet, the sun and Mars are directly attacking Praesepe (the hiding place or “manger” of the 144,000). When you put the sun (fire) and Mars (red) together, you get the “fiery-red”[25] color of the dragon of Revelation 12. We had already realized that this trumpet sign is also the “other wonder in heaven” of Revelation 12:
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red [Strongs: fire-like, flame-colored] dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. (Revelation 12:3-4)
Many see this dragon as the constellation Draco. There are articles on the Internet that very beautifully assign the seven heads with seven crowns to the constellation of Corona Borealis (the northern crown) over Draco’s head, with its seven stars. At the same time, they find the ten horns in the ten stars of Boötes, which is actually called “cow” in Latin.[26] That’s all not wrong, and it’s part of the great deception that is taking place before our eyes.
Draco with the “ten”[27] “cow” horns and the seven crowns clearly stands before the pregnant virgin, which can be seen in the picture above, but unfortunately there is not much going on because none of the three “dragon signs” lie on the ecliptic, and thus neither the sun, nor the moon, nor the planets wander through these signs. Though they are not part of the Mazzaroth (Hebrew zodiac), there is a biblical reference to Boötes, right where God Himself refers to the Orion constellation.
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades [seven stars], or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? [NKJV: Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs?] (Job 38:31-32)
In the King James Version of the Bible, we find the star “Arcturus,” the brightest star in Boötes (the bear-keeper or bear-driver in other languages)! You have to read very carefully to understand how these translations came to be. God speaks here of the “guiding” of the great bear (Ursa Major) and his cubs (e.g. Ursa Minor, the little bear); the main person here is the bear-keeper and not one of the bears itself. Arcturus is actually in the immediate vicinity of Virgo, and thus the connection is made between the sign of the virgin and that of the dragon. Nevertheless, this is still not “another wonder that appeared in heaven,” because the dragon is always there, and doesn’t just “appear,” like the virgin, for example, who is pregnant and gives birth. There must be something moving for it to be a sign! And there is also the red color aspect, which must be accomplished by means of some “coloring agents,” if it is to be the sign.
One must read Revelation 12 to the end. The dragon is of course Satan, but in another age. The text of Revelation 12 speaks of course primarily of the birth of Jesus about 2000 years ago, and Herod’s arrangement to kill all the boys two years old and under.
Reading further, one recognizes the historical events of the work of Jesus, His ascension, and the subsequent great 1260-year persecution of Christians by the papacy from 538 AD till the deadly wound of 1798.
The woman (the Christian church) then fled to the wilderness (the USA), where she was spared by God. The principles of republicanism in the United States protected freedom of religion by the strict separation of Church and State. There had been enough of a taste of what happens under a union of Church and State in the witch-hunts and the racks of the Inquisition in Europe under the papacy (a state with a religious leader). Nothing like that should ever happen again, and the Johnson Amendment even prohibited religious institutions from interfering in the political process through kickbacks, until… yes, until an elderly man with an angel-like hairdo appeared who wanted to undo everything all of a sudden. Not Donald Duck, but Donald Trump was to appear on the world stage at the beginning of the “Trumpets.” He is about to abolish the Johnson-amendment[28] and has already been consecrated several times by the sect-leaders of the Rome-submissive lying churches; for what, it remains to be seen.
Evangelical Leaders Lay Hands On Donald Trump In Group Prayer
President Donald Trump met with Christian leaders in the Oval Office on Monday for a prayer gathering. …
“What a humbling moment standing in the Oval Office - laying hands and praying for our President - Supernatural Wisdom, Guidance and Protection - who could ever even imagine - wow - we are going to see another great spiritual awakening,” Howard-Browne wrote on Facebook.
The practice isn’t new for Trump, who has participated in a number of intimate gatherings with faith leaders during his campaign and into his presidency.
His spiritual advisors bring him the strange fire from heaven, which has already brought many to “fall” in the Pentecostal churches. They work the lying healing wonders, which we have been warned of in the Bible and the writings of the Spirit of Prophecy.
The second beast, the USA, thus now exercises the power of the first beast, the papacy, directly in front of it. Caution is needed, because we are now quite at the end of the events described in Revelation 12 and 13.
When Jesus defeated Satan by His death on the cross, the original dragon was cast down from heaven, which also means that his constellation has no further significance for future prophecies:
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Revelation 12:9)
We are now in the third trumpet, therefore, in the following passage of Revelation 12:
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 12:17)
This verse corresponds to the attack of the rich king from the north (the papacy) at the end of Daniel 11:
But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. (Daniel 11:44-45)
Since the dragon’s heavenly sign “was cast out into the earth,” another heavenly sign must take its place. There is only one constellation that bears many other characteristics of Satan’s activity as described in Revelation: the water snake, or Hydra. We have already seen its wound that healed, and we see it in the third trumpet with one of its heads ready to attack the “manger” of the remnant. Together with the red war planet, Mars, the old red dragon attacks the remnant again. But he can’t do it by himself... he needs a deputy...
Hydra is the largest of all 88 known star constellations of the firmament, and its tail is extraordinarily long. It is easy to recognize this constellation in the prophecy of Revelation 12:4, since its tail actually covers almost a third of the visible sky with its length.
In mythology, the Hydra is the sister of Draco the dragon:
The water-snake features in two legends. First, and most familiar, the Hydra was the creature that Heracles fought and killed as the second of his famous labours. The Hydra was a multi-headed creature, the offspring of the monster Typhon and the half-woman, half-serpent called Echidna. Hydra was thus the sister of the dragon that guarded the golden apples, commemorated in the constellation Draco. Hydra reputedly had nine heads, the middle one of which was immortal. In the sky, though, it is shown with one head only – perhaps this is the immortal one.
So watch out, half-witted critics! We have two dragons on the celestial canvas to deal with; Hydra is the sister of Draco, and since Draco has already been cast out of heaven, Hydra is the only one who can attack the remnant of the seed of the pure woman. Got it?
Doesn’t this reflect the division of work between the first and second beasts of Revelation 13? The first beast gives the power, and the second beast is the executive agent. And aren’t dragons beasts? And most importantly, we should consider that there is yet a third beast coming up, in Revelation 17. Who or what could that be? We will learn more about that soon.
Another fact should worry all those who up to this point have believed that the so-called Sunday Law is the mark of the beast, because they do not understand that Ellen G. White, who always prophesied of it, was a prophetess, and thus also spoke in prophetic language, i.e. in symbolic form. I always say to my prophecy students, “When a prophet speaks of an apple, then it can be anything that an apple can symbolize, but one thing it is certainly not… an apple!” So when Ellen G. White spoke of a Sunday Law, it can be anything that the Sunday Law can symbolize, but certainly not a Sunday Law. What appeared in the US as a literal type in the decade from 1880 to 1890 is different today!
Perhaps the Adventists should have noticed that Ellen G. White also said that the symbolic “Sunday Law” would not only appear in the most powerful country of the New World, the United States, but also in the Old World, in Europe, where the throne of the beast is located, in Germany. It definitely can’t be a Sunday Law that would serve to seduce the people and make them the target of God’s vengeance, because Germany has had the Sunday Law anchored in its constitution since 1945. From this we can conclude that the attack of Hydra is on the Sabbath’s twin, on marriage, which the third trumpet warns us of in the heavens. The third trumpet is the last chance to get on the right side. Then the reaping will take place.
The third trumpet begins the loud cry of the Fourth Angel! The texts from Revelation 14:13-19 run parallel to the texts of the trumpets. Thus, Revelation 14:15 belongs to the third trumpet:
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. (Revelation 14:15)
This is the first time in the harvest texts that an angel cries with a loud voice. There is only one other with a loud voice. In the sixth trumpet, he calls for the vintage of the bad grapes; that is the end of grace. Once again the message of God from Orion will be accompanied by the voice of God in heaven:
Angels were sent to aid the mighty angel from heaven, and I heard voices which seemed to sound everywhere, “Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.” This message seemed to be an addition to the third message, joining it as the midnight cry joined the second angel’s message in 1844. The glory of God rested upon the patient, waiting saints, and they fearlessly gave the last solemn warning, proclaiming the fall of Babylon and calling upon God’s people to come out of her that they might escape her fearful doom.
The light that was shed upon the waiting ones penetrated everywhere, and those in the churches who had any light, who had not heard and rejected the three messages, obeyed the call and left the fallen churches. Many had come to years of accountability since these messages had been given, and the light shone upon them, and they were privileged to choose life or death. Some chose life and took their stand with those who were looking for their Lord and keeping all His commandments. The third message was to do its work; all were to be tested upon it, and the precious ones were to be called out from the religious bodies. A compelling power moved the honest, while the manifestation of the power of God brought a fear and restraint upon their unbelieving relatives and friends so that they dared not, neither had they the power to, hinder those who felt the work of the Spirit of God upon them. The last call was carried even to the poor slaves, and the pious among them poured forth their songs of rapturous joy at the prospect of their happy deliverance. Their masters could not check them; fear and astonishment kept them silent. Mighty miracles were wrought, the sick were healed, and signs and wonders followed the believers. God was in the work, and every saint, fearless of consequences, followed the convictions of his own conscience and united with those who were keeping all the commandments of God; and with power they sounded abroad the third message. I saw that this message will close with power and strength far exceeding the midnight cry.
Servants of God, endowed with power from on high with their faces lighted up, and shining with holy consecration, went forth to proclaim the message from heaven. Souls that were scattered all through the religious bodies answered to the call, and the precious were hurried out of the doomed churches, as Lot was hurried out of Sodom before her destruction. God’s people were strengthened by the excellent glory which rested upon them in rich abundance and prepared them to endure the hour of temptation. I heard everywhere a multitude of voices saying, “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” {EW 277.2-278.2}[29]
Those who will not obey the loud cry of the Fourth Angel to leave Babylon, and those who will not choose the side of God in the time period of the third trumpet, will be fuel for the fire of vengeance.
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)
What would it be like, if for every harvest text that mentions a sickle, God would also show a sickle on the firmament precisely at the time when the corresponding trumpet sounds? I will show those signs in the last article I will write. These final warnings will finally conclude our work. There will be nothing more to say.
If you have read and understood all this, then you have to ask yourself whether you aren’t committing the sin against the Holy Spirit if you still deny the proof of what we show you at God’s bidding for your salvation. Is there any other movement on this earth that explains more than just the one “great sign” of the woman in heaven, trying to confirm their teachings? Is there any other “prophet” who is accompanied by the divine heavenly signs, which are obviously not man-made?
Exactly on the Jewish day of the first throne-line at the beginning of the third trumpet, appears the sign of the great star, which, burning as a lamp,[30] falls on the third part of the rivers and fountains of waters. Probably, no one except us in Paraguay had seen the sign, even though we could not observe it directly from our location. Nevertheless, we knew from the study of the Bible texts what the sign would be, because we could “foresee” it with our planetarium software exactly on the date indicated by the Orion clock: July 20, 2017.
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; (Revelation 8:10)
Having already discovered “the other wonder in heaven” of Revelation 12:3 at the beginning of the third trumpet, and the cup of Hydra’s gall, which also explains the poisoning of the water with wormwood, we should look for the “great star” “burning as it were a lamp.” The term “great star” itself points to one of the great lights from the creation account...
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. (Genesis 1:16)
Thus, it is either the sun or the moon. Since we already have the sun in the Hydra-Cancer sign, it is probably not what is meant... and indeed, we haven’t yet looked at the movements of the moon on this day. Let’s do it now...
Since we know now that the lamp sign is actually formed by the crescent moon as the lamp and Aldebaran as the flame, one can also interpret the Bible text as referring to the “great star” Aldebaran itself, because it is a red “giant,” approximately 40 times larger than our sun. I write this for those who find it difficult to regard a “star” as a symbol for the moon. In any case, it stays undisputed that Aldebaran and the moon together form the lamp sign.
However, we have to contemplate what it means that the perfect formation of the “lamp” was not visible in the sky over Jerusalem, but occurred at a time—about two o’clock at night, local time—when the crescent moon was still below the horizon. Now, we could try and configure different locations in our planetarium program to find out where the sign would be seen exactly at the time of moonset (when time is reversed). That would certainly be a tedious process for us non-astronomers.
Therefore, it would perhaps be more time effective and bring more insight if we were to pursue the biblical allusions in the third trumpet, and let God tell us personally which location we should configure for!
God says that the sign fell on “the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters.” Does He mean all sorts of rivers and springs anywhere in the world, or could He want to point to a very special biblical site?
We get the first clue when we realize that the third trumpet is the mirror image of the sixth trumpet, on the opposite side of the throne lines formed by Orion’s belt stars. This special feature of the Orion clock makes sure that the third and sixth trumpets are linked in a certain way. If in the texts of the sixth trumpet (and also of the corresponding sixth plague) there were references to the Euphrates, which was one of the rivers of Eden, we should proceed with the idea that “the third part of the rivers” perhaps refers to a third of the rivers of Eden, and the “fountains of waters” the springs of Eden.
According to the biblical account, four great rivers went out of Eden, and there is highly interesting research as to where Eden might have been.
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia [Cush]. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel [Tigris]: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. (Genesis 2:10-14)
One research report gives us the former location of Eden as being in the Persian Gulf, which I believe is absolutely correct due to our own latest findings.
There are not really a lot of candidate locations for the former place of Eden, since it is at least clear where the Euphrates and the Tigris (Hiddekel) still flow today. We also know from Inspiration that Eden was taken away from the earth much later by God,[31] which makes it logical that it left a “hollow” where it had once laid, a crater that presumably was not necessarily circular. The upper end of the Persian Gulf would be such a “crater,” and it would have been filled with seawater.
The report states that researchers were looking for Eden in the wrong place for centuries, since the Gihon, according to the Creation report, should be in the land of Cush, which is generally understood as Ethiopia and also occurs as such in some Bible translations (as in the King James Version above). This has led to considerable confusion, since the other rivers were fairly well identified, like the Euphrates and Tigris rivers still flowing in Iraq today, and a fossil river called “the Wadi Riniah and the Wadi Batin” that could be identified as the Pison, which previously flowed through Saudi Arabia but has now dried out. Only modern satellite technology made it possible to identify these former river valleys as those of the Pison.
The Euphrates and the Tigris form a confluence later, before uniting with the Karun River, and even later, flowing as one single large stream into the Persian Gulf.
The real sensation in the report is that now it could be shown that the biblical Gihon is indeed the Karun river in Iran...
It is the Gihon, which “compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia,” that has been the problem. In Hebrew the geographical reference was to “Gush” or “Kush.” The translators of the King James Bible in the 17th century rendered Gush or Kush as “Ethiopia”—which is further to the south and in Africa—thus upsetting the geographical applecart and flummoxing researchers for centuries. Zarins now believes the Gihon is the Karun River, which rises in Iran and flows southwesterly toward the present Gulf. The Karun also shows in LANDSAT images and was a perennial river which, until it was dammed, contributed most of the sediment forming the delta at the head of the Persian Gulf.
Thus the Garden of Eden, on the geographical evidence, must have been somewhere at the head of the Gulf at a time when all four rivers joined and flowed through an area that was then above the level of the Gulf. The wording in Genesis that Eden’s river came into four heads” was dealt with by Biblical scholar Ephraim Speiser some years ago: the passage, he said, refers to the four rivers upstream of their confluence into the one river watering the Garden. This is a strange perspective, but understandable if one reflects that the description is of a folk memory, written millennia after the events encapsulated, by men who had never been within leagues of the territory.
Let us test whether this theory is true. If the sign of the burning lamp on July 20, 2017, which lasts only a few minutes, is formed in a place which corresponds to the biblical description of the third trumpet, we will know where the Garden of Eden really laid, and whether it was actually in the northern Persian Gulf!
To do this, we must now decide on an exact location in our planetarium program and examine the Bible text. Immediately, we recognize the wisdom and foreknowledge of God in the solution of the apparent contradiction that occurs because in the third trumpet He speaks of “the third part of the rivers” while Genesis 2:10-14 tells us that there were four.
It’s a riddle, because these streams have to form a defined whole of three parts in the third trumpet, to be able to distinguish a third part, that is to say, three rivers must then exist instead of four. On the other hand, they must all together represent the springs (of Eden), since the springs are not restricted to a third part, and Genesis 2:10 tells us that only one river watered Eden.
Now we recognize, that indeed there were four streams, that all together watered the garden through their confluence (they flowed into the garden and not out of it). Now one of them is dried up: the Pison. So, there are only three rivers of Eden left at the time of the third trumpet, that all flow as one confluence into the Persian Gulf.
We need a city that is located on only one of the three rivers that has not dried up (“the third part of the rivers”), but is at the same time at the confluence of all “fountains of waters,” since the “great star” is said to fall generally on “the fountains of waters” and not only on a third part of the fountains of waters! Thus, it can’t be a city on the Tigris or the Euphrates or their confluence, because the third stream, the Karun river, has not made its contribution as a fountain of water at those locations.
Only one city meets all the criteria at once. It is situated on the Karun, and at the same time where the Karun unites with the previously conflated waters of the Euphrates and the Tigris: Khorramshahr in Iran.[32]
We’re in luck, because this city can be easily selected from the Stellarium location list, and we can now look at the situation on July 20, 2017. What a miracle it would be if we could see the burning lamp of the crescent moon with Aldebaran exactly on the horizon!
There was even more than that... we could even see how the “water” extinguished the flame of the star-lamp, exactly as the lamp dived into the horizon. It couldn’t be better!
Without the Orion clock and its throne lines, representing the great fiery stream that originates from the Flame Nebula and Alnitak, and without the heavenly sign of the third trumpet, we would not have succeeded in furnishing the final proof from God’s hand that the above theory really is true. The thesis has become a certainty. We who live at the end of world history now know the place of our origin on this earth. Soon, we will be permitted to re-enter the Garden of Eden. We will come full-circle. I already wrote about that, though.[33]
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. (Revelation 22:1)
In the next part, I will share with you what this sign means to each of you personally, and together we will hear the call of the eagle flying high on the heavenly canvas, which warns of the terrible chimera coming out of the abyss; an ancient power returns, and it is not the papacy!
