As the crisis surrounding the assassination of journalist Khashoggi escalates into a global diplomatic firestorm, it becomes increasingly clear what the real plague of the second plague is. Whoever understands prophecies literally, however, and does not make use of the clocks of God stands alone in the rainforest of the press jungle without a compass and without being able to see the sunlight through the dense cover of leaves.

I will soon dedicate another short article to the second plague, which explains how the entire sea became “blood” and all “living beings” are about to perish in it, but the current events on earth and in the third heaven^[1] demand that we go on a weekend trip to Daniel 12 and perhaps also take a detour through Ezekiel 9.

Of course the world press was full of the most disastrous hurricane, “Michael,” to hit the Florida coast since the beginning of weather records in 1851. It was also the third strongest hurricane of all time to batter the continental US. Its destructive force was overwhelming and, according to some reports, it well-nigh “pulverized” some areas. The two initial victims, who soon became 16 or 18 in the press, were corrected to 1,500 still missing this weekend. A sharp increase in the number of victims is expected, now that the “war zone” is being searched.

The damage is estimated at several billion dollars and is a further sucker-punch to the already endangered US economy. It is said that it will take many years to repair the terrible damage caused by “Michael.”

Before and after “Michael” stood up.

Whoever now believes that the naming of the hurricane was purely coincidental is greatly mistaken. The world does not know, but the High Sabbath Adventists have had the true calendar of God since 2010, and we knew that October 10/11, 2018 was the true day of the Jewish Feast of Trumpets. Throughout their several-thousand-year history, the Jews have forgotten the Torah’s calendar rules and do not want to acknowledge that the death of Christ on the Cross in 31 A.D. reaffirmed the rules for those who are interested in God’s times. Since the spring equinox is not included in the Jews’ calculations for the beginning of the year, they could not know that they started their year 2018 exactly one month early.

There was a lot of hype about the 2018 Feast of Trumpets, especially on YouTube, because many people now see that we are living in the last days and have also recognized that God’s biblical feasts play a role, but as already mentioned, they don’t know the rules of God’s calendar.

When “Michael” made landfall at 1 p.m. on October 10, 2018, the biblical Feast of Trumpets of October 10/11, 2018 had already begun in Jerusalem a few hours earlier due to the seven-hour time difference; the sun had already set there and the first crescent moon had been demonstrably sighted.

So what many people suspected, namely that the Feast of Trumpets in 2018 would bring a great catastrophe, actually happened—only they had expected the feast a month too early.

God works according to the feasts of His own appointment,^[2] and since Jesus Christ fulfilled the spring feasts with His death and resurrection and His people already fulfilled the autumn feasts of 2016, there remains only one biblical “character” who can fulfill the autumn feasts on God’s behalf: Michael.

And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. (Daniel 12:1)

Michael is not just an archangel, as Catholics and many Protestants believe, but Jesus Christ Himself, only characterized by the name, “Who is like God?” This has the following reason:

Michael. Heb. Mika’el, literally, “who [is] like God?” He is here described as “one of the chief princes [Heb. sarim].” Later He is described as Israel’s particular protector (ch. 12:1). His identity is not definitely stated here, but a comparison with other scriptures identifies Him as Christ. Jude 9 terms Him “the archangel.” According to 1 Thess. 4:16, the “voice of the archangel” is associated with the resurrection of the saints at the coming of Jesus. Christ declared that the dead will come forth from their graves when they hear the voice of the Son of man (John 5:28). It thus seems clear that Michael is none other than the Lord Jesus Himself (see EW 164; cf. DA 421).

The name Michael as the name of a heavenly being appears in the Bible only in apocalyptic passages (Dan. 10:13, 21; 12:1; Jude 9; Rev. 12:7), in instances where Christ is in direct conflict with Satan. The name in Hebrew, signifying “who is like God?” is at once a question and a challenge. In view of the fact that Satan’s rebellion is essentially an attempt to install himself on the throne of God and “be like the most High” (Isa. 14:14), the name Michael is a most fitting one for Him who has undertaken to vindicate the character of God and disprove Satan’s claims.

In The Books are Closed we had shown that the heavenly day of judgment is over, as all cases have already been decided. Following the example of the ceremonies on Yom Kippur,^[3] the high priest changed his clothes at the end of the ceremony, which corresponds to the fact that in the third heaven, Jesus took off His high priestly clothes and put on His royal ones. Then He sat down once more for a short wait on His throne beside that of the Father.^[4] But Daniel 12:1 explains that He will rise at a certain time, and since there are no more details or textual connections to be found than “at that time”—which refers to Daniel 11:40, and there simply means “the time of the end”—a special, visible revelation of the Lord must mark that time for the people of the earth: the terrible hurricane “Michael.”

Anyone who deems it far-fetched that the Bible predicts names, is mistaken again. The prophecies of the Old Testament concerning the liberator of God’s people from Babylonian captivity called the Persian king “Cyrus” by name two centuries before his appearance on the stage of world history.

We have written about how the four winds have been released, and anyone who has found all our explanations too symbolically oriented, now gets their money’s worth. And it even goes one step further...

In his latest Pope Video, Beelzebub himself calls on Christianity to pray throughout October 2018 for mitigation of the stench of the Church due to the abuse scandals, which are blamed on the devil. To this end, one should ask that the “Archangel Michael” please stand up and set out to punish Satan.

It now seems as if Jesus Christ had indeed answered the prayers of “His people.” The whirlwind “Michael” arose and punished Satan in the form of his second beast, the USA, which he had incited to push the LGBT agenda throughout the world.

Now one can understand that the Lord warned that a kingdom should not be divided against itself and that the inevitable consequence of contradictory lies is the destruction of such a kingdom:

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: (Matthew 12:24-25)

Christ knew that the city of Babylon and the house of the Catholics would once be divided against themselves and so His prophecy now comes true and He Himself stood up to begin the desolation of the kingdom of Satan. The first plague was in the USA through the report of the Grand Jury in the US state of Pennsylvania, and it especially hit the ecclesiastical Rome in Europe. This time the second plague began with the murder of a Saudi Arabian journalist in Europe and the first devastation affected the USA. That is poetic justice!

But what does it mean that “Michael” arose at the very beginning of the Feast of Trumpets? It means that the hurricane was only a warning of an even greater and far more extensive destruction, because at the Feast of Trumpets, the warning trumpets were blown before the judgment day of Yom Kippur, because everyone who did not take part in that day and purify himself had to be cut off from His people.^[5] The trumpet feast takes place on the first day of the sighting of the crescent moon of the seventh month, and the day of judgment follows on the tenth day of the same month, that is to say, only nine days later.

The amazing thing is that the true Yom Kippur of this year, 2018, falls on a seventh-day Sabbath and the feast thus becomes a “High Sabbath” according to John 19:31.^[6] Our movement is named after such Sabbaths on which a ceremonial Sabbath falls on the weekly Sabbath, because these Sabbaths have great prophetic significance and the gene of Christ’s life is hidden in them.

Will something earth-shattering happen on the High Sabbath of October 19/20, 2018? Or on the Sunday following, because the day after the Day of Atonement was most probably also the day on which the transgressors were executed? Time will tell.

The fact that the great Prince Michael has now risen brings us to our promised detour to Ezekiel 9. During the plagues cycle of 2015/2016, which was postponed until now, we had already shown in a graphic in the article The Tears of God, how the slaughter of the transgressors will take place in the house of God. (To get current dates, one only has to replace the old ones with those of the current plague clock.)

There we made it clear that killing would not begin in the first plague, but only in the second, and that it would begin at the house of God, as it is clearly stated in the chapter of Ezekiel. The region of Florida that was devastated the most also has—or had—many Catholic retirement communities. Yet not only these were hit, but also Protestant churches were stripped naked, as Michael, i.e., Jesus, promised.

Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame. (Nahum 3:5)

Church of the Central Pentecostal Ministries exposed by “Michael”

Many Pentecostal churches and others failed to withstand this “rushing mighty wind”^[7] of Michael’s representative, because they rejected the Holy Spirit and He has now withdrawn.

Speaking of Nahum:

God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth; the Lord revengeth, and is furious; the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. (Nahum 1:2-3)

According to Daniel 12:1, the great and incomparable time of trouble, or the great tribulation, begins with Michael’s rising, and that means that it has officially begun at the Feast of Trumpets. But God’s promise is that Michael, the great Prince, stands for His people and will save them. However, this will also take place exactly according to the clocks of God and the signs of the feast days. Certain end-time prophets, who like to copy from us without mentioning us as their teachers, should keep in mind that not all spring feasts have been fulfilled by Jesus yet and He will certainly not come back at the coming Yom Kippur.

The heavenly setting at Michael’s landfall at this year’s Feast of Trumpets also unambiguously indicated the beginning of God’s judgments (Jupiter in the scales of Libra, activated by the “Jewish” new moon) at the house of God (the virgin, activated by the sun) with His two instruments (the “messenger” Mercury and the retrograde “destroyer” Venus, both in Virgo).

We have already pointed out that these four celestial bodies are the four winds that have already been released and will from now on lead a triumphal march against the evil forces on this planet until they stand in rank and file before Orion at the beginning of the seventh plague on May 6, 2019, to welcome Jesus at His return.

At the coming Yom Kippur, the moon activates Aquarius, while Mercury is in the courtroom of Libra and the retrograde Venus attacks Virgo. Aquarius stands as a symbol for the LGBT power, the USA, and this age. Will another disaster hit the churches (sun in Virgo) on judgment day, of which “Michael” only warned when He rose?

Let us pray for the bereaved of the victims of the hurricane, that they will not see Michael’s standing up, as described in this article, as an affront or an insult, but as an opportunity to save their own lives by leaving Babylon in great haste!
