What about the southern hemisphere where it is almost summer? Good point. I kept thinking that Matthew 24:20 was related was somehow related to the season of the rapture, but since the rapture would be a global event that is not confined in northern hemisphere, I am now more convinced that the verse Matthew 24 was indeed directed to Jews at a specific location and time.
However, I found it interesting that December 21 (winter solstice and another high watch window as it is close to hannukah) is 10 days before December 31 when dennislwatson brought it up.
dennislwatson, thank you for your response and encouragement.
I see that you have marked the Revelation 12:1-2 sign as the beginning of the Pentecost termination count. If I may ask, however, what is the symbolic connection between Pentecost and the Revelation 12 sign? I have heard from one of Scottie Clark's videos that Pentecost is actually a conception of the church and that the Revelation 12 sign would signify the birth of the church. Is this how you are making the connection?

Forgive me dennislwatson, for peeking in again here, but I must say. I love you. You have nothing to fear from our Savior. He will wrap His arms around you - right or wrong. And so will the rest of us. Either way, Jan 1, 2018 will be a fun day for us. Either I will sit at your heavenly table and you can tease me about my blindness - or you can come to this body and be enveloped in the love of Christ. We all win either way! |

Caleb. Yes in a way but Scotty thought that Feast of Trumpets was going to be the harvest. My position was simply that Pentecost is both, the conception at the beginning and the harvest at the end. I will call the sign what God called it. "A GREAT SIGN" If it is a sign what is it a sign about? How long after the sign is the exit? It is about the resurrection and rapture of the Church. And why is it so incredible that our omniscient, sovereign, omnipotent God would call it a GREAT SIGN? Well from a sign perspective, from September 28, 2015, the date of the Last Blood Moon, a Super Blood Moon, the number of days to the sign was 726. We look at Strongs definition of a word that might be #726 and it is "harpadzo". The sign is referred to by a harpadzo (726 days) from another sign in the heavens, then, on top of that, in Revelation 12:5 there is a "harpadzo" right there in the text of the verse and we know what happens at the harpadzo is the resurrection. BUT IT WAS A SIGN ABOUT THE RESURRECTION TO COME (OF THE MAN-CHILD) AND NOT THE EVENT. It is not symbolically but rather quite literally a sign that starts a count. So what feast of the Lord is in dire need of a resurrection? I tried to tell Scotty Clark in dozens of emails that Feast of Trumpets was not a harvest feast. It was never a harvest feast in Scripture and I don't think he ever understood that. He never responded. He tried to make Feast of Trumpets a Harvest feast and it is not. (in defense of Scotty I myself taught in 19 years of 20 years of teaching that Feast of Trumpets was the harvest feast of rapture but I got LEARNED in the last year by an actual Good Bible Teacher) But I loved everything he did to show that the SIGN WAS GOING TO BE A GREAT SIGN. What feast needs to be fulfilled so that you can get on to the fall feasts, later when they all occur in the same moon? The feast that needs the fulfillment of a harvest is Pentecost. Pentecost has started (a process) it has not ended with a harvest. We are still in the Pentecost Season. How do I know, Caleb you became a Christian and when you did the Holy Spirit personally indwelt you. Same thing that happened for the first time at Pentecost happened to you. Scotty in all his presentations jumped over the fulfillment of Pentecost and instead thought that we were done with Pentecost because something happened in Acts 2. He thought the harvest would be at Feast of Trumpets. There was some indication on that but not when the Feasts are truly understood. There will only be one SECOND GREAT RESURRECTION SIGN OF 9/23/2017. This is the one shot for Christians to read Revelation 12 and realize this was the sign that told us about the rapture WHICH IS A RESURRECTION for those that a dead and that will be a huge majority of those who participate in this event. (Well actually, the mathematics of that with a geometric progression of population growth makes me wonder) but I will say it like this. The church completed 18 centuries of growth to grow before it got to our last century. Hope this helps. It should as you are looking at the chart I sent you before. Thanks for you specific question. Oh Caleb one other thought. Do you know how many days from the September 28, 2015 Super Blood moon the end of the count from the SECOND GREAT RESURRECTION SIGN OF 9/23/2017 is? It you look at page 55 of the article I posted on the first post of this thread, you will see this.. Saints! We have this to look forward to. We are going to be bright. We will reflect the brightness of the other side of the firmament. We will shine like the stars forever. When might this happen? Did God give any hint? This is a favorite game that Watchers have done repeatedly over the past year. So from the September 28, 2015 last Super Blood Moon as day 1 and then going to December 31, 2017, I repeat...this day is factually…. THE LAST DAY OF DECEMBER THE LAST DAY OF 2017 THE LAST DAY OF THE PENTECOST COUNT This day is potentially…. THE LAST DAY WHEN THE CHURCH IS CORRUPTIBLE, and THE LAST DAY MARTHA REFERRED TO WHEN SHE PROPHESIED (by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit who had designed that day already) THAT HER BROTHER WOULD RISE ON THE LAST DAY….. So, again, FROM the September 28, 2015 last Super Blood Moon as day 1 and then going TO December 31, 2017, is 826 days. So, here we are, gentiles seeking wisdom, what is the word for Strongs Greek #826? It is "augazó": TO SHINE FORTH. From Daniel 12, That's EXACTLY what all the Saints are going to be doing that day if the rapture occurs. Daniel 12:3 “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” ------- ------------ ------------- ------------ Interestingly enough, for Israel, as yet left behind, the Strong's Hebrew #826 is a word that means "CONJUROR". Perhaps, for those left behind, I am sure Lucifer is planning something deceptively special with his conjurors so that those on earth, after or even along with, the rapture, will be deceived… tremendously. He will do it with magic, demons, fallen angels and lies. Glad I won't be here if this happens on day 826. May I make another point that I just now got from a discussion with a kind member on unsealed.org. She replied in her thinking that the September 23, 2017 GREAT RESURRECTION SIGN with this sentence "I think this event set the clock so to speak." I agree with her totally. And wait. This summer in the southern hemisphere thing. That is a red herring. That is not an argument against this idea. Jesus, I suppose, in 33 AD could have said, Pray that your escape not be in winter, but for those in like Australia or such places, which have not been discovered as yet, I just want you to know I am talking with the people here in Israel, because these are people that ACTUALLY DO have a winter! -------- ---------------- ------------ So, I was convinced that day 726 from the day of the last Blood Moon Super Moon of the Tetrad on September 28, 2015 would be the rapture. But... 9/23/2017 occurred and it wasn't the rapture! Now what...well first I looked at the first part of the Pentecost Count...7 Sabbaths and the morrow after, November 12 but nothing happened. Then what? I kept searching... (God revealed this to me on Sunday November 19 when in obedience I obeyed Hebrews 10:25, it took me five days begin research and to make my first post here on November 24, 2017) Now, in humility, I think day 826 from the day of the last Blood Moon Super Moon of the Tetrad on September 28, 2015 is the rapture! What is the difference between the two conclusions? 1) The actual occurrence of the SECOND GREAT RESURRECTION SIGN OF 9/23/2017!!!!!! IT NEEDED TO OCCUR AS A SIGN BEFORE THE COUNT WOULD LEAD TO THE EVENT. WHY? BECAUSE GOD CALLED IT A SIGN! Signs throughout history have happened to warn of an event AFTER the sign I think. 2) The count from Leviticus 23:15 & 16 that warns us we will be presenting a "new meat" (that means JUST HARVESTED...get it? No. OK. "New Meat" means you were just raptured! Now do you get it?) offering to the Lord. So get ready for that. When? In Winter (in Jerusalem that is... actually it is quite pleasant in Southern California right now...except of course for these pesky apocalyptic fires and when I am looking at a time in Jerusalem I always look at Torahcalendar.com)...AFTER December 21, 2017 and exactly at the end of the count... December 31, 2017. Blessings Saints. Either this is true above or I am entirely messed up. What do you think? Sunday's a comin. |

I just thought of this Saints.
The subject of this thread is "The Last Day, Lazarus, you & Pentecost - ALL ARE CONNECTED"
Lazarus had already died before Jesus did. Lazarus dead, means Lazarus cannot become a Christian. He cannot become part of the Church. Christ had not died for him yet. He would be resurrected, yes, at probably the last day of Tabernacles, after the time of Jacob's Trouble, probably at the 8th day, the great gathering, but he would not be part of the Church. NOW THOUGH!!! Can you imagine the impact an incorruptible Lazarus will have on those new mortal Israelites being born all over the place, AND those pesky Gentiles as well. They love the story of their brother Lazarus.
Do you realize now what this resurrection of Lazarus meant to Lazarus? Now, he can live through Jesus death and resurrection, now he can live the 50 days past Jesus resurrection (7 Sabbaths and the morrow after), NOW he can become a part of the Church and because of Martha's confession, now I am sure of it, he did.
And Oh!! If he did become of the Church, what if, think of it Saint, he witnessed to a friend who was off to say where Jonah was going to when he sailed. And then from there this person found their home and witnessed to someone else whose distant ancestor was someone in your line and it is why you yourself are a believer. You may owe it all, in one sense at least, to Lazarus. All I am saying Saints, is that we all are connected.
Do you realize now what this resurrection of Lazarus meant to Mary and Martha? Now their brother will rise with them! Why, because all now have the chance to go through Christ's death and resurrection and count the 7 Sabbaths, and the morrow after, and the Church begins. Mary and Martha, as part of the Church, will not have to even consider or admit that their joy might be a bit less because Lazarus is not there. Wouldn't they even during the Tribulation, as part of the resurrected Church, think that wouldn't it have been better if Jesus had got there before Lazarus had died? Don't have to go there do we?
Do you realize now what this resurrection of Lazarus means to YOU? He is a brother and we will meet him at the termination of Pentecost, the LAST DAY that his sister and yours spoke of. He will not receive the "raptured at 365" button. Oh wait, Yes he will. Oh...apparently there are two colors of the "I got raptured at 365" button. One for those who were dead at the time and one for those who were alive at the time. I need a committee.Do you realize now what this resurrection of Lazarus meant to Jesus Christ? Now Jesus can greet him, a good friend, with a smile, and be proud at his faith, and Jesus will say to Lazarus, "Well done my good and faithful servant."Lazarus, Mary and Martha will be there at the rapture. Go ahead! Ask her! Ask her if this was what she had in mind. Saints this is incredible.I do not think it is right for me to be given these insights if what I published in my article is incorrect. Here it is again.2ND GREAT RESURRECTION SIGH UNSEALED REVISI....pdf (982.08 KB)Blessings Saints. Soon we rise and shine to greet Lazarus and Mary and Martha, you are connected! After meeting the Lord and that incredible scene in Revelation 4 and 5 and 6, then we will perhaps have time to meet others. Now when we see Lazarus we will realize the greater blessing it is for him to be a part of the Church, than merely a redeemed Isrealite. Sorry to mention it here if any Israelite is offended. But the promises to the Church are greater. NO saint will ever say, I want to give up my citizenship in heaven with the Church to go down there and live in ... wherever. No saint.
Blessings Saints. Soon we rise and shine.

What are the chances we just identified an additional 3 after the 12 disciples that would of course be a part of the 120 disciples at the INITIATION of Pentecost. MARTHA MARY AND LAZARUS. Now, they, and we, wait for the TERMINATION of Pentecost. Naturally we are all connected.
Oh. Just now thought. (Danger Will Robinson!) All twelve disciples (including that new guy) and Paul are a part of the Church. So, for those who refuse to acknowledge that what occurred was the SECOND GREAT RESURRECTION SIGN OF 9/23/2017 you need to prepare to give a response, when you and John first talk, and he says, "Oh you were alive at the rapture, Did you read Revelation 12 about the Resurrection? (...oh John, my gosh I have a meeting with Zachariah and oh can we continue this a bit later?)
Blessings Saints. I did not think I had anything to give when I got up this morning. Then thought of what I was trembling at.

The meeting with Zechariah bit cracked me up! And those are indeed some very cool thoughts about Lazarus. I think you’re on to something.

Psalm 123:1
To thee I lift up my eyes
Luke 21:28
“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
Oh, Thou who art enthroned in the heavens.
Revelation 12:5
“And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.”
Oh did you get a chance to look at that reference?
Psalm 12 3:1
Saints, I don't want anything from you. Just please be aware, that there IS IN FACT a POSSIBLE Biblical Count that started with the Revelation 12 sign and which count ends on December 31, 2017. I happen to believe this count is similar to the count that occurred after Jesus was resurrected and until the Holy Spirit came, yes 50 days after the resurrection of Jesus. The count is similar but not exact. Why? The first count is to initiate or conceive the Church. The second count of 50 is for COMPLETING the Church. First 50 Start. Second 50 Stop. For the first time in history, a sign about the resurrection occurred in our lifetime.
"When these things begin to come to pass"...what "things"? These things are all those geo political, cultural events or trends that are fulfilling Biblical prophecy and are occurring now with greater frequency and intensity. We are told about these things when we watch people preach in their prophecy updates like Farag, Haller, Charlie, Amir, etc.. When those things are happening like now (and if you do not agree that those things have happened I am really sorry that you do not know the signs of the times) Our soon coming Lord says "Look Up". What do we see in the heavens at that point? We see the Great sign in the heavens from Rev. 12:1 and its ultimate subject is a resurrection in 12:5. How do you get from a resurrection sign to the day? You count. What count? Leviticus 23:15&16. And after that what? As you are counting you are preparing yourself to finally be a LIVING SACRIFICE, because when the count ends, you will be making a "NEW MEAT" offering to the Lord. Again, "NEW MEAT" means just harvested. Is this a command? I see "shall" language. Will Christians prepare themselves for the "NEW MEAT" offering? The Bible says most Christians will be surprised at His coming so the answer to that is "No." There will be some who watch. Of those that watch, There will be some who prepare their hearts. This is the last time in history, that all of Christianity will be given a "GREAT" sign that suggests the man-child (the church) should prepare their hearts for their first meeting with the Master. The days are counting down Saints.
Saints! Also, it could very well be that the last 10 days of this count could involve a persecution of the church even before the Tribulation. I am referring to the "you will have tribulation 10 days" which was prophesied of the Smyrnian Church in Revelation 2. If nothing happens, so be it. If there is something that begins, be comforted because it will last but 10 days. Let the words of Scripture and this count provide you with comfort. "Rulers persecute me without cause, but my heart trembles at your word." Ps 119:161
Psalm 123 (A Song of ascent.)
1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
Blessings Saints. Soon we rise and shine.
The only reason this idea was presented here is because I believe the God who wrote the Bible and protected its words from being changed was, Sovereign, Omnipotent and Omniscient and always active in the lives of men and remained so even at the time the verses and chapters were decided. Let God be God, thank Him for the hint, and now study the words.

Saints! I am in tears right now.
My previous post about Psalm 123:1 REMINDED ME of lessons that I taught years ago on the "Psalms of Ascent". Psalm 123 is one of the Psalms of Ascent. "Ascent?" Do you understand what these Psalms were for? This is astounding for where we are right now after the SECOND GREAT RESURRECTION SIGN OF 9/23/2017.
Some have asked "Why count?" You count to prepare your heart. These were Psalms that the children of Israel memorized and put to music and sang on their way as they ASCENDED to Jerusalem FOR THE FEASTS. As they ASCENDED they prepared their hearts.
WHEN THE RAPTURE OCCURS WE WILL BE ASCENDING TO THE REAL ZION! You won't have time to prepare your hearts then so you should perhaps do it now.
I am now going to spend time in the Psalms of Ascent so check in from time to time as the words of these Psalms are applied TO EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW OR SHOULD BE DOING NOW AND THAT IS PREPARING OUR HEARTS TO ASCEND TO ZION TO MAKE A LIVING SACRIFICE OF NEW MEAT!
Psalm 120 - Psalm 134 - The Psalms of Ascent
HAH! Just looked. Psalm 134 in my Bible is labeled "Greetings of Night Watchers" Watchers!!! HAH! I think I am going to love these Psalms even more now. Stay tuned. Obviously Psalm 123 works. Including of course, that verse Psalm 1231
Blessings Saints. Soon we ascend and shine.
Why me?

Part 1 - The Psalms of Ascent - Psalm 120Spent some time just now getting a feel again for Psalm 120 in the new light of reading this at this particular time, when we are perhaps but a few weeks from our actual ascent to the real Zion. Reading it now from that viewpoint puts us right into today's news.Note - This Psalm is 7 verses long. Do the Servant Branch analysis. Yup burning coal at middle branch. Fire. Ties to 7 Feasts with the fire of Pentecost, the middle feast, alluded to in its fire highlight. Fire at Pentecost, the middle feast? Yes, FIRE starts after the sign of the resurrection on day 50, in Acts 2, and when the second count ends at Day 50 of the second Leviticus 23:16 count which concludes at the end of day 99 from the SECOND GREAT RESURRECTION SIGN OF 9/23/2017 THERE WILL BE FIRE!Note - Ties us in to events of today - We have incredible trouble and deception going on in almost every area of thought, science and life. We have Kim Un with his missiles (arrows) and burning coals (think of California fires which CONTINUE TODAY). We the Church are living like Israel living in Babylon. We are surrounded by an evil culture which for the day of the writer of this psalm would be like living in Mesheck or Kedar. I AM TIRED OF LIVING IN THIS WASTELAND OF HATRED AND DECEPTION! Are you for Peace? In Jerusalem? Well, most now would vote for war.This Psalm was written for us today! He wants to assure us He knows our condition!Prayer for Deliverance from the Treacherous.A Song of Ascents.120 (NASB)1 In my trouble I cried to the Lord,And He answered me.2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips,From a deceitful tongue.3 What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you,You deceitful tongue?4 Sharp arrows of the warrior,With the burning coals of the broom tree.5 Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech,For I dwell among the tents of Kedar!6 Too long has my soul had its dwelling
With those who hate peace.7 I am for peace, but when I speak,They are for war.So Saints. What do we do with this Psalm 120? We put it in our hearts and we are comforted that even in these last tumultuous times, God lets us know He is right there with us. He knows what we are dealing with and He spells it out. Having discovered again the Psalms of Ascent. I am going to use them as I count down to the end of the Leviticus Count. You don't need to count but if you wish to come back to this thread, you can see how I am preparing my heart for the day of the Blessed Hope.If it does not occur then...well at least I will have been blessed and this preparation, based on Scripture, will not be void or go to waste. Once you begin to believe it, then God can work to encourage your hearts. If you are hanging on the outside, you can't see it. It is what C.S. Lewis referred to in one of his essays in God In The Dock. I remember the name now, "Meditations in a Toolshed." Lewis went into a dusty shed and light came through the ceiling in a distinct sunbeam. He looked at the sunbeam and saw the dust particles going through the beam of light. It was beautiful and mysterious. Then he moved into it AND LOOKED UP! Seeing the sunbeam from the outside and just looking at it is one thing. That is what many members and guests of unsealed are doing right now on this thread. Standing in the sunbeam in belief and looking up into the incredible shining world up there is a totally different and wonderful vision. Same beam, different views. You can join me if you wish.
Blessings Saints. Soon we ascend and shine.
Will some blessed guest, join Unsealed and tell me they were blessed. Right now. And make your first post an "I was blessed" post. I need that to continue. Thanks. I have two gifts from the Spirit. The gift of teaching and the gift of exhortation. The gift of teaching allows me to show you Biblical truth. A teacher is satisfied with that. I just did it. An exhorter needs to hear an "Amen" now and then. Otherwise I will simply think I am blessing myself. I don't need to do this here on Unsealed to bless myself. So I want post1 from a new member to be an "Amen" of sorts right now.

Just in case...trust me...I am longing for the Lords glorious appearing. I am watching and praying to be counted worthy to escape all these things.  However, just in case we are watching the Rose Bowl.  Be of good courage for the Lord thy God is with thee... God gave the "wise men" a sign...the star of Bethlehem. They were watching for the star out of Judah no doubt.  They were watchers and they were looking for the "man child." They knew from their calculations and the patterns of Stars that the man child was in the land of Judah. However, they had no idea where they could find him. Come to find out, that the scribes knew where he was to be born but did not see God's sign because they were not looking.  Matthew 2:2-6 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. When the wise men finally figured it out they left another way... ![]() Matthew 2:11-12 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. My friends the solar eclipse was magnificent, the Sept. 23 sign got our attention. God will lead us to the man child just like he did the wise men from the East.  The great Harpazo event may be right around the corner however in the hour you think not the Son of man cometh.  Even so come Lord Jesus. |

But, I am blessed today that you are taking some time to share about the Psalms of Ascent. I did a study on them last fall (still the only Bible Study I have actually fully completed) and there is a lot going on in them. I think it is a good time to review them now with the eyes that I now have a year later after learning so much here on Unsealed. It will definitely have me looking at them in a different light as I wasn't in the same stage in my walk with Christ that I am now. Do the Psalms heavily tie into your original thread, or perhaps it may be beneficial to start a new thread focusing on them. Technically, you could have a thread for discussion of each of the psalms of ascent as they differ a lot from each other and for people who are baby-stepping into learning about them, it may work best to read about one of them at a time without comments about other things in a thread or other psalms confusing them. I would probably be able to contribute/comment if you choose to create threads about the Psalms because, like I said, it is one of the few topics I have actually "studied" and I would not mind studying them again from a different perspective. |

I did a study on them last fall (still the only Bible Study I have actually fully completed) and there is a lot going on in them. I think it is a good time to review them now with the eyes that I now have a year later after learning so much here on Unsealed. It will definitely have me looking at them in a different light as I wasn't in the same stage in my walk with Christ that I am now. Do the Psalms heavily tie into your original thread, or perhaps it may be beneficial to start a new thread focusing on them. Technically, you could have a thread for discussion of each of the psalms of ascent as they differ a lot from each other and for people who are baby-stepping into learning about them, it may work best to read about one of them at a time without comments about other things in a thread or other psalms confusing them. I would probably be able to contribute/comment if you choose to create threads about the Psalms because, like I said, it is one of the few topics I have actually "studied" and I would not mind studying them again from a different perspective. Good points Sawdy. I will think about it. Waiting for a guest turned member, a 99 turned 100. Blessings |
