PROPHETIC NEWSLETTER - "...In such an hour as you think not, the Son of Man cometh" Matthew 24:44

Early on the morning of February 7, 2010, just before waking, I had a dream that I was going up into heaven and I was traveling up through the clouds. It was beautiful and as I passed by the white clouds, against a beautiful blue sky, I anticipated seeing the Lord and Levi, my son who had passed on the year before, in 2009. The Word of God tells us, “For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Therefore, comfort one another with these words” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18. As an aside, I’ll mention here that the Word also tells us in 1 Thessalonians 4:7, just preceding this passage about the catching up, or rapture, “God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.” I want to keep it in the forefront of my mind that the Lord is not returning for the sinful, but the faithful, who are watching for Him. I might mess up once in a while and have to repent, but I do not want to miss the rapture of the saints! Early in the morning on February 8, 2010, the following day after my dream described above, I was sitting in the living room and as I was praying, I suddenly saw a vision right before my eyes. I was going up through the clouds in the nighttime. It was similar to a moon-filled night, because I could see the clouds, as I ascended up through the sky, exactly as I had seen them the prior morning during my dream, but it was night, not day. I was, of course, in awe of what I had seen, especially since this was a vision of the rapture, or catching up of the saints, not a dream. I was very much awake when I had this vision. I continued praying for a while and after sunrise, I went in to study the Bible, as is my daily routine. Bear in mind that, except possibly on a rare occasion if I am interrupted, I read at least one, or more, entire chapters of the Bible each morning and I start a new chapter the following day. As I sat down to study, I noticed that the previous day, I left off reading only part of Genesis 41. I placed a mark where I should begin that morning and, having read Genesis 41:31, I starting reading verse 32, “Because the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass” Genesis 41:32. Right here, where I left off the previous morning, Joseph was interpreting Pharaoh’s dream, which Pharaoh had actually dreamed twice, with slightly different details, but they had the same meaning. My mouth actually fell open. I said out loud, “Lord, are you speaking to me?” I had a dream only the previous morning of the rapture of the saints, described in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18; then I had a vision of the very same thing the following morning, but it was the rapture taking place in the nighttime. I also thought how very profound it was that I left off without finishing the entire chapter of Genesis 41 the previous morning, which rarely happens, and then to start reading, “Because the dream was doubled...” right after my dream and vision of the same thing! I told my sister, Sheila, about the dream and the same vision I had the following morning. She has always been gifted with dreams and their interpretations. I mentioned to her that I didn’t know why the dream showed a daytime rapture, but the vision revealed a nighttime rapture. She interpreted that immediately. She told me that when the Lord returns, it will be daytime on one side of the world, but nighttime on the other side, so the Lord is coming both during the day and at night. That further astonished me, because the Lord was very precise in showing me what He would “shortly bring to pass.” The Lord reminded me that when Joseph explained to Pharaoh that his dreams were “established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass,” “shortly” actually meant seven years. When Joseph interpreted Pharaoh’s dream, he told him that from that time, there would be seven years of plenty, but after the seven years of plenty, the drought would bring famine for seven years. Folks, since I had a dream and a vision of the same thing the following morning, and since I began reading Genesis 41:32 right after my vision, I couldn’t draw any other conclusion to the matter, except that from the year that I had the dream and vision, which was 2010, the Lord would “shortly bring it to pass,” which caused me to think that Pharaoh’s “shortly,” which was seven years, was also the interpretation to my dream and vision, seven years, which brings us to 2017. I am further astonished that Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel’s last prophecy about the “time of Messiah” was for 2017!

Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel was a respected and renowned German rabbi who lived in the 12^th Century. He was also known as He-Hasid, or “The Pious” in English. This prolific rabbi made an astonishing prediction before his death in 1217, about the coming of the Messiah, so his prophecy will be 800 years old this coming year, 2017. Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel prophesied:

“When the Ottoman (Turks) conquer Jerusalem (which they did in 1517, 300 years after his prophecy), they will rule over Jerusalem for eight jubilees (400 years [Jubilee years are celebrated every 50 years], and they did exactly that, ruling Jerusalem through 1917). Afterwards, Jerusalem will become a no-man’s land for one Jubilee, and then in the ninth Jubilee, it will once again come back into the possession of the Jewish nation (which is exactly what happened, even the strip of land dividing Israel’s West Jerusalem and Jordanian controlled East Jerusalem was referred to as “no man’s land,” until Jerusalem was taken by Israel during the Six Day War in 1967) – which would signify the beginning of the Messianic end time.”

Rabbi Ben Samuel was Hassidic, of the Chassidei, different than the Kabbalistic rabbis involved in mysticism. The Chassids placed strong emphasis on holiness and prayer. To this sect of Judaism, I believe God’s mercy was extended, because of their faith and their earnest endeavors to live righteous. It was never said that Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel professed faith in Yehoshua/Jesus, and like many Orthodox Jews, he likely never read the New Testament scriptures, but simply had heard about the Messiah of the Christians. Albeit, God was obviously merciful to him, in granting him great knowledge and wisdom in God’s ways and prophecy. If Rabbi Ben Samuel died in the faith, the only faith he knew, I believe Yehoshua/Jesus revealed Himself to him before he left this world. We are, after all, living in the dispensation of the Gentiles (Luke 21:24). God promised He will turn again to the Jews during Jacob’s Trouble (Jeremiah 30:7), during the seven years of Tribulation. That being said, no one can deny that, so far, Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel’s prophecies have all been fulfilled, based on the Jubilee cycles and astrology, which heavenly signs God has graciously endowed to the Jews to understand from ancient times. The Word of God tells us, “And the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, the heads of them were two hundred and all their brethren were at their commandment” 1 Chronicles 12:32. These sons of Israel were gifted to understand seasons, astrology and Gematria, and they were able to discern signs and seasons, which provided prophetic insight. Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel wrote the Sefer Hasidim (Book of the Pious), Sefer Gematriyot (Book of astrology) and Sefer Hakavod (Book of Glory), the latter of which is now lost and only a few quotations remain in various writings. Astrology, as given to the Jews by God, has been hijacked by the devil; thus astrology, as we see it in society today, is not at all like the knowledge God gave to the Children of Israel for signs and seasons. The “Blood Moon” signs that occurred during the lunar and solar eclipses, exactly on Israel’s feast days, such as we witnessed in 2014-15, are the types of signs God gives before major prophetic events, which I have covered in a previous newsletter. (If you missed that newsletter outlining these phenomenal events, you can read it at: http://propheticnewsletter.yolasite.com/news/the-coming-eclipses-on-israel-s-feast-days.)

It is interesting that Jesus said, “Of that day and that hour (His return) knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father (only)” Mark 13:32. Jesus said no one, not even Himself (He allows Himself not to know), knows the day and hour of His return, except God the Father. He never said we couldn’t come to an understanding of what year He will return. Next month, God willing, I will share a prophetic dream and vision God gave me in 2010, which also aligns with Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel’s prophecies. In the meantime, stay ready and watching, because the Lord’s return is near! God bless you.

A tenet of John Calvin’s popular doctrine is predestination. We are not predestined to be saved, while others are predestined to hell, because the Bible tells us that it is not God’s will that anyone should perish, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” II Peter 3:9. This scripture alone makes John Calvin a liar and a heretic. Another precept of Calvinism is that once you are saved, you are always saved; nothing you do can cause you to fall into a “backslidden” condition. In other words, you can live like the devil, but you’re still saved. Examples of Israel’s “backsliding” and chastisement were written for our learning, so we would not do the same today. The Old Testament was written for our learning, the New Testament for our rule of faith and practice. Paul wrote to the Hebrews, “It is impossible for those who were once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good Word of God and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance, seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh and put Him to an open shame” Hebrews 6:4-6. This doesn’t mean that if you are saved, if you do sin, you can never receive forgiveness. This is an example of one who received the gift of the Holy Ghost, “tasted of the heavenly gift – of the Holy Ghost”(Acts 2), but afterwards denounced God. Others who have fallen into sin are given the opportunity to repent and be restored (1 John 2:1), so it is important to know who, if they renounce God, is not eligible to repent. That aside, God has called us to live holy, “Because it is written, ‘Be ye holy, for I am holy’” 1 Peter 1:16. Does that mean we never sin once we’re saved? No, but it means we don’t live in a state of unrepentant sin. John wrote, “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not, and if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” 1 John 2:1. We do not live in sin habitually; we strive to live a holy life, but if we fall down, we repent, and we must get back on the “narrow path” (Matthew 7:13-14). God’s Word admonishes us not to continue in sin. “Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple and said unto him, ‘Behold, thou art made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee” John 5:14. Jesus healed this man, but warned him not to return to a sinful lifestyle, or a worse thing would come upon him. Some people wonder why they can’t get healed, but they need to consider what Jesus said to this man. The famous summation by many is that fallen man just can’t live holy, no way, and that’s why Jesus died for us. No, Jesus paid the price for our past sins, but He also came to demonstrate to us how to live a holy life in our flesh. Jesus CAME IN THE FLESH, not as God. The Bible tells us, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” Philippians 4:13. Not only did He show us that we can live sinless in the flesh, but as children of God, He will give us the strength to live holy. In summary, we only need to go to the back of the Book to understand what Jesus is saying to the churches today: “Blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things that are written herein, for the time is at hand” Revelation 1:3. Jesus said to the church at Ephasis, “I have somewhat against you, because you have left your first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works, or else I will come unto thee quickly and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent” Revelation 2:4-5. “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches: To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God” Revelation 2:7. “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches: He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death (which is hell – Revelation 20:14)” Revelation 2:11. Jonathan Cahn once said, “Picture the stock traders on the floor of the Stock Exchange, when stocks are quickly rising. It’s chaotic, as everyone wants to get hold of a good thing; but when it comes to seeking righteousness, not too many are around. There isn’t much competition for it. Righteousness is the greatest treasure of all and nobody is fighting over it.” The chapters of Revelation 1-3 are very enlightening. Jesus also said, “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot. So then, because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of My mouth” Revelation 3:15-16. Will you dance at the edge of the cliff, with hell fire waiting below; or will you walk circumspectly on the sure, straight and narrow path, the “ancient path?” (Jeremiah 18:15).

Last month, I wrote about Nephilim spirits operating in the world throughout history and how they inhabit the antichrist kingdom (Islamic Caliphate) rising before our eyes. We are literally at war with Nephilim spirits operating through Muslim terrorists today. The Prophet Daniel wrote something very enlightening about the last days. He prophesied about the very last kingdom to take power on earth, “And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, forasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things; and as iron that breaks all these, it shall break in pieces and bruise; and whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potter’s clay and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided, but there shall be in it the strength of the iron, forasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with the miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly broken. And whereas you saw iron mixed with clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men, but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay” Daniel 2:41-43. Daniel wrote here about his revelation of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. Nebuchadnezzar dreamed of a large statue of a man, and each part of the statue represented a world kingdom from Nebuchadnezzar’s day, through the time of the last kingdom at the end of days. No one in Nebuchadnezzar’s kingdom could interpret his dream, but Daniel, the man of God. The interpretation of the Word of God and prophecy is given only by God, and the ungodly doesn’t understand it (Daniel 2:27-28; 2 Timothy 3:7). We are entering an era of advanced technology, as cyborgs (part human/part machine) and chimeras (part human/part animal) are being created. This “mingling” is abominable in the sight of God (Enoch 7, 15-16; Genesis 6), and it is a sign that we are absolutely living in the last days preceding Christ’s return, according to Bible prophecy (Daniel 2:43; Matthew 24:37). Now, we are at the crux of this entire study. Thousands (7,732) of UFO sightings were reported in the US alone in 2013; there are many more worldwide and the numbers increase yearly. Some can be explained, but many others are bizarre and have been reported by residents in entire regions, as well as by government officials. For example, a huge UFO was seen by thousands of residents in Phoenix, including the governor of Arizona at that time, J Fife Symington. They attest to the fact that they saw a “mother ship” UFO on March 13, 1997. An airline pilot also reported he saw the craft, describing it as "humongous.” He said it passed right above his plane. Witnesses said the craft made no noise and it was nothing like anyone had ever seen, at least nothing created in this world. There is a documentary about the sighting on YouTube.com: UFOs: I Know What I Saw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGMGOdKOPKk). While more UFOs are reported throughout the world every year, thousands of people all over the world have reported very similar “alien” abduction stories. Dr David Jacobs, the foremost expert in alien abductions, has interviewed many abductees, who have told him nearly identical scenarios. These people do not know one another. Dr Jacobs is an agnostic, but after hearing the accounts of abductees, he is so convinced that many people are experiencing abductions by aliens that he said, “I am in despair.” He said he fears for the future of his grandchildren because of alien biological experiments. The Bible tells us that “...the prince of the power of the air (is) the spirit that works in the children of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2). God’s people are protected from this through the name of Jesus. In the meantime, the great harlot, Catholic church, MYSTERY BABYLON (Revelation 18), has openly proclaimed, “extraterrestrials are our brothers.” Catholics in the Vatican are also singing praises to “Lucifer.” The Bible tells us concerning the last days, “Great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, famines, pestilences, and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven” Luke 21:11. Remember those words, “fearful sights” and “great signs from heaven,” as we approach the return of the Lord. The Bible also says, “There shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect” Matthew 24:24. According to Bible prophecy, the great end time deception will appear in the form of “great signs and wonders,” “fearful sights,” and “from heaven.” The message here is BEWARE; don’t fall for it! It is imperative that we keep our eyes fixed on God’s Holy Word only and what it has to say. Christ will soon catch up the saints (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18), but the world will proclaim that the “aliens” took us, and I believe the great deception of the tribulation will begin. Jesus said (twice - for emphasis - in Matthew 24) regarding the last days, “Many false prophets shall rise and deceive many” Matthew 24:11. “There shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect” Matthew 24:24.

Last month, I wrote about the Paracas skulls and Dr Roger Leir’s assessment of the mold of one of the skulls he examined. He wrote of his findings, “Someone would have a difficult time convincing me that this is a human skull.” A DNA sample also taken from one of the skulls revealed nonhuman mtDNA. Additionally, I wrote about the ancient megalithic stone walls of Sacsayhuaman, Peru, which baffle modern architects. Local villagers say their ancestors told them that the walls were built by giants. There are actually 18 references to giants in the Bible, also known as Nephilim in Hebrew. These were the offspring of fallen angels and human women (Genesis 6:1-4), so the Paracas skulls, revealing nonhuman DNA, are likely the same Nephilim referred to in Genesis (6) and the Book of Enoch (7). Nephil is the root word meaning “fall.” The word Nephilim in Hebrew also refers to those who fell. The Book of Enoch tells us that the departed souls of the Nephilim are evil spirits that cause havoc in the earth and they are doomed souls, which cannot be redeemed (Enoch 15-16; Jude 6; 2 Peter 2:4). Jesus told His disciples, as He explained the events that would precede His return, “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” Matthew 24:37. What was happening during Noah’s day? Genesis (6) and Enoch (7) tell us that fallen watchers took human wives and bore giants just prior to the flood. Enoch explained that these giants (Nephilim) “devoured mankind, eating their flesh and drinking their blood.” Does this sound familiar today? As we see the antichrist kingdom rising through the likes of the Islamic State (IS), and other Muslim terrorist organizations, stories have been told time and time again of their militants literally cutting out the hearts of their enemies and eating them raw (see images above). In Syria, they even set up butcher shops to sell the body parts of Christians and other slain enemies. Former Muslim Brotherhood terrorist Walid Shoebat, who converted to Christianity, said this has been a practice among Muslims for centuries, not just during the recent wars in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. (As an aside, I have to take the opportunity here to mention that a Christian genocide has been taking place in the Middle East. They are being slaughtered in the most brutal ways we could imagine, even Christian children are suffering the same cruel martyrdom. Some of the newsletters have contained very graphic material about their sufferings, and I have even heard directly from the pastor of a local church that these newsletters are offensive and he will not read them. I will just say that unless we know the truth, we don’t know how to pray, and if we fail to pray for those facing martyrdom, those fleeing for their lives and our Christian brothers and sisters in bonds, we will face God for our neglect of the same. The Holy Word of God tells us, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” Galatians 6:2. “And whether one member [of the body of Christ] suffers, all the members suffer; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice” 1 Corinthians 12:26. How is it that we can pray earnestly to God for these who are suffering, unless we know of their suffering? We need to pray every day for these. There could come a time when we and our families face such horror for the sake of Christ.) The Book of Enoch (15-16) tells us that when the Nephilim died, their evil spirits remained on the earth to wreak havoc; and the Bible tells us that some people are possessed by these spirits (Matthew 4:24). The antichrist kingdom is rising, an indicator that we are living in the last days, and Muslim terrorists are possessed with Nephilim spirits to perpetrate the same kind of horror they have committed throughout history. Nephilim spirits are territorial, according to Biblical accounts. Jesus cast demons out of people in Syria (Matthew 4:24), the same area that the Islamic State is wreaking terror and devouring the flesh of men, just as the ancient Nephilim did in Enoch’s day and in Noah’s time. Can we not see the correlation between the ancient Nephilim and Muslim terrorists today? The Prophet Daniel quoted the angel Gabriel, “Then he said unto me, Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and chastened yourself before your God, your words were heard and I have come because of your words; but the prince (fallen angel) of the kingdom of Persia (Iran today) withstood me twenty-one days, but lo, Michael, one of the chief princes (God’s angel), came to help me and I remained there with the kings of Persia” Daniel 10:12-13. Gabriel was sent to respond to Daniel’s prayers, but the evil “prince of Persia” fought against Gabriel for 21 days. Persia (Iran) is still the greatest supporter of terrorism in the Middle East. The Bible says, “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” Ephesians 6:12. To be continued, God willing.
