We are currently in the ‘last days’ before Elul 29, which begins Saturday September 12 at sundown and ends Sunday September 13th at sundown. During the Shemitah Year, Elul 29 is call the “Day of the Lord’s Release according to Deuteronomy 15:1-6, “At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release. And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lends ought unto his neighbor shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD’S release. This was meant to be a blessing for those who follow God and deal with righteousness and justice, but it would turn into a judgment for those who are called of God and turned against His ways.

God ALWAYS gives us signs in the Heavens! ALWAYS! For this reason, I am reposting the signs in the heavens of the ‘first year’ of the Seven year cycle of land following the Day of the Lord’s Release 9/29/2008.

September 29, 2008 was the last day of the Shemitah Cycle (Leviticus 25) and was most remembered for the 777 point drop in the stock market on the Day of the Lord’s Release (Deuteronomy 15:1-3). As the final bell rang on Wall Street, Israel began Rosh HaShanah. This is also known as the Feast of Trumpets, the fifth  of the seven ‘fixed appointed times of the LORD (Leviticus 23:24). At that time, the new set of seven year cycle of the land began. At this writing we are currently in the 7th year of the cycle, known as the Shemitah Year, the year the land enjoys her Sabbath rest. So many have reported the current signs in the heavens, but I felt the need to review my blog of 6/1/11, ‘2009 – When the Heavenly Birth Pains Began’. I hope you enjoy my review.

Note: 4 times in Mark 13 Jesus told us to ‘watch’ as He told them what would happen in the last days. This is my report as a ‘watcher’.

I have studied the heavenly signs of the Second Coming of the Lord since early 1990s when I read Marilyn Hickey’s book called Signs in the Heavens. As a Christian, I thought watching and studying the heavens (astronomy)  was full of witchcraft because of those who looked at the constellations to decide how to live their lives (astrology). Once I read Hickey’s book, I came into a new understanding of why God created the “fixed stars”, which we know as Constellations.

I studied, read, and researched everything the Bible had to say about the heavens.  I clipped out every heavenly occurrence when there was an important happening in Israel, but was not released to teach it. In 2009, God finally released me to teach what I had stored up and I have been teaching it ever since. By the time I began sharing and teaching, I had several great books on Biblical astronomy and a full box of research.

A pregnant woman understands signs of the birth being near, especially waiting for the water to break and the birth pains to begin. As we near the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we are looking for the signs of His coming. Jesus said there would be signs in the heavens before He returned.

HERE ARE SOME UNUSUAL HEAVENLY OCCURRENCES OF 2009

February 24, 2009, El Cajon, CA. CBS News Channel 8, February 24, 2009. El Cajon, CA. The 3 letters in Arabic are 666. There was no natural explanation for the red Arabic letters in the sky and they were reported by CBS news.

April 7-8, 2009, Passover

  • April 7,  2009- Hand of God in Action. This beautiful image of a “cosmic hand” reaching for the stars has been captured by a Nasa observatory.
  • April 8, 2009- Crown of Thorns
  • April 8, 2009- Blessing of the Sun, Birchat HaChama- Rabbis call this the Third Redemption. Three times in recorded history the Sun has lined up as in the day of Creation (4th day, Genesis 1:14) and Passover. The first time was the first Passover  recorded in Exodus, the second time was when Mordecai and Esther were fasting for the saving of their nation and the last time was in Passover 2009. The first 2 times the nation was saved from destruction by an enemy that wanted to destroy them. In Israel it was a very encouraging sign that God was going to save them from destruction one more time. They base this on Hosea 6:1-2.  http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/130732

June 2, 2009- New Clouds Found and were  named Asperatus clouds. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1189877/The-cloud-Meteorologists-campaign-classify-unique-Asperatus-clouds-seen-world.html. Asperatus means ‘rough‘ and they were said to look ‘mean’. Evangelist Del Mar Coward of Vision Ministries had a vision of these clouds the beginning of 2009 while in prayer. www.thevisionministry.org. When I showed him the article, he said they were the exact clouds God showed him. He said that he had never seen anything so wicked and evil. Since that time, God has shown him that it was a demonic force released upon the earth. God has led him to an understanding of that vision from Daniel 10, to start in the 1st verse and he has received much revelation since then on principalities and power released.

July 21, 2009, Planet Jupiter (King planet representing Israel & Messiah) was hit by a heavenly object 15 years to the date that Shoemaker Levi Comet bombarded Jupiter. History records that when Jupiter is hit from a heavenly object, something will happen to the country and people of Israel. 15 years ago the ‘land for peace’ deal was taking place in Oslo, Norway.

July 22, 2009 , Total Solar Eclipse http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEmono/TSE2009/TSE2009.html This was the 2nd of 3 years in a row on the Hebrew day of Av 1 (August 1, 2008 & July 11, 2010) and was the longest in the 21st Century and it was called a monster’ solar eclipse. It began in India, crossed through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, China, Japan’s Ryukyu Islands and curved through the Pacific Ocean. All the countries under the Solar Eclipse are in the 1040 Window.

December 2, 2009, Superbright Supernova,  first of its kind-  believed to be a star that first populated the universe. A supernova is a star that suddenly increases greatly in brightness because of a catastrophic explosion that ejects most of its mass. 

December 8-14, 2009, Geminid Meteor Showers during  the Jewish festival Hanukkah, peaked December 13 with 130 ‘shooting stars’ per hour. The normal evening would see approximately 10 per hour.

December 31, 2009, Blue Moon. The moon is not really blue unless there is a volcano or something that would put dust into the atmosphere. A Blue moon means the 2nd full moon in one month, which is very rare.

Since 2009 the heavenlies have been very interesting. I suggest you get a good Hebrew Calendar for Christians and record whenever there is something unusual happening in the heavens.

“Keep looking up, our redemption is drawing nigh”

Amos 4:12, “Therefore, I will bring upon you all the disasters I have announced. Prepare to meet your God in judgment, you people of Israel!” (13) For the LORD is the one who shaped the mountains,
stirs up the winds, and reveals his thoughts to mankind. He turns the light of dawn into darkness
and treads on the heights of the earth. The LORD God of Heaven’s Armies is his name!

Every time God spoke Judgment to the nation of Israel, it came to pass. EXCEPT when a righteous person stood in the gap for the nation. One of those times was at Mt Sinai, the sin of the Golden Calf. We are in the days right now that Moses went up the mountain for the 2nd set of 40 days, this time to intercede for the nation of Israel for that specific incident.

We are coming into times where it could be ‘the best of times’ or ‘the worst of times’. We get to choose whom we will serve. As for Ken, myself and our house, we will serve the Lord. And He will protect us.

At sundown, 10 days from now, it will begin Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets. This is when the year changes on Hebraic calendar to the year 5776. In the Hebrew Aleph Bet, each letter is a number. For instance, Alef is the first letter and has the numerical value of 1. Tav is the last of the 22 letters and has the value of 400.

The Hebrew word for ‘perfection’ is shlaimut and the numeric value of the value of 776 (300+30+40+6+400=776)

Some other phrases that add up to 776 are as follows:

  • Mal 3:7, come back to Me, and I will come back to you=776
  • Jer 3:22, come back to Me, you fatherless children of Israel=776
  • The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob=776
  • The kingdom of David will be for the eternal world=776
  • The kingdom of God will be forever=776
  • The last Kingdom =776
  • The Coming of the Messiah=776

We should always prepare our hearts because none of us are guaranteed tomorrow. Prepare to meet Him ever day, but more so as the days come closer to His appearing. Our nation is facing some very serious times as our leaders make decisions that put us in harm’s way.

Let us all follow Moses’ example for the days we are in and stand in the gap for our nation and Israel.

 

Eclipse Moon April 4 2015 2This photo was taken with SkyView App on my iPhone. We had a very cloudy sky so I watched the viewing online with Time.com.

The moon eclipsed closest to Porrima (aka Gamma Virginis). This is a binary star, meaning it consists of 2 stars that orbit together appear as one. I cannot find the Hebrew name for this star.

Virgo StarsWhen the eclipse reached totality, I joined believers around the world to pray for Israel, for the peace of Jerusalem according to Psalm 122:6 and Isaiah 62.  IsraelBreakingNews.com, April 2nd, carried a warning from an Israeli Rabbi regarding this blood moon and the numeric 4.

“A mystic rabbi living in southern Israel is urging all Jews to pray and repent as the third Blood Moon of a tetrad cycle approaches. Rabbi Amram Vaknin, who similarly predicted the events of the Gaza flotilla and the Carmel forest fire in 2010, and Operations Pillar of Defense (2012) and Protective Edge (2014), warns that Israel is facing great judgment and potential danger at this time. One of Rabbi Vaknin’s students, Gil Nachman, spoke to Breaking Israel News and, quoting the sage, explained that the numeric value of the Hebrew word for blood, dam, which is 44, alludes to the 44th president of the United States.” Read more at http://www.breakingisraelnews.com/35128/shocking-passover-blood-moon-predictions-by-israeli-rabbi-jewish-world/#XYyDWk3TfuIFzjdd.99

I was reading in E.W. Bullinger’s book Witness of the Stars this morning regarding the biblical meaning of the Constellation Virgo. On the bottom of page 33 Bullinger wrote “In the Zodiac in the Temple of Denderah, in Egypt, about 2000 B.C. (now in Paris), she (Virgo) is likewise represented with a branch in her hand, but ignorantly explained by a false religion to represent Isis!

ISIS? Watch and pray my friends. We are living in very exciting times.

It is not for us to speculate, Jesus never told us to speculate. Rather, He told us in Mark 13 “4 times” to “Watch”. The Greek word for watch is ‘agrypneō’, and means ‘to be sleepless, keep awake, watch’. This word is only found 4 times in the Bible and all 4 times are in this passage as Jesus commands us about the day or the hour of His Second Coming.

Shabbat Shalom my friends. Keep looking up! His redemption is drawing near (Luke 21:28)

 

EclipsedMoon 4.4.15The 3rd Blood Moon of the 4 Blood Moons of this current Tetrad will reach fullness at 5am Pacific time and 7am Central time. I am in the Texas area so I will get up at 5am to watch the beginning of this eclipse before it goes out of our view. For the remainder I will have to watch online.

This eclipse is so full of the number 4! (I got most of the information from BreakingIsraelNews.com which had a great article from Mark Biltz and Bob O’Dell, posted March 31st.)

  • 4th day of Creation, Genesis 1:14, And God said, ‘Let there be lights (light holders)  in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons (moedim- fixed appointed times), and for days, and years.’  (Ps 104:19, He made the moon to mark the seasons)
  • 4th month- April
  • 4th day – April 4th (Passover – Nisan 14 on the Hebraic calender)
  • Eclipse will have totality 4 minutes and 44 seconds
  • 4th shortest of all eclipses in 4,000 years.
  • 4 Cups of Passover from Exodus 6:6-8: (1) I shall take you out of Egypt (2) I shall rescue you from Egyptian slavery (3) I shall redeem you with My power (4) I shall bring you as My people
  • 4th Commandment, “Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy”. This Passover and Blood Moon fall on the Sabbath Day.
  • The 4th letter of the Hebrew Aleph Bet is Dalet and represents the #4. The pictograph of Dalet is a Door. During the first Passover, the Hebrew fathers applied the blood of the lamb to the doorposts of their house as instructed to Moses by God. The blood would protect the household from the death angel and the last plague, the death of the first born.
  • Below are some meanings of the number 4 in Scripture (E.W.Bullinger, Numbers in Scripture)
    • Number of material completeness finish on the 4th day of Creation, world number, ‘city’ number
    • Regions of the earth- north, south, east, west
    • Divisions of the day- morning, noon, evening, midnight
    • Four Seasons- Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter
    • Four lunar (moon) phases
    • Four great elements- earth, air, fire, water
    • Division- in Eden, the river parted into 4 streams
    • Four Gospels – Matthew, Mark, Luke, John

September 29, 2008 was the last day of the Shemitah Cycle (Leviticus 25) and was most remembered for the 777 point drop in the stock market on the Day of the Lord’s Release (Deuteronomy 15:1-3).

As we near the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we are looking for the signs of His coming. Jesus said there would be signs in the heavens before He returned.

In the beginning of  2009, two ministers who I highly respect received the following words from the Lord:

  • John Kilpatrick (www.johnkilpatrick.org) received a word for 2009, RESURRECTION, with each letter corresponding with what would happen that year. The ‘S’ stood for Signs in the Heavens.
  • Hank Kunneman (www.ovm.org)  wrote regarding 2009: Signs in the Heavens and Wonders on the Earth. Jesus said the powers of heaven will be shaken in Luke 21:26, we have seen shakings upon the earth but have we never seen the powers of heaven shaking as we are going to. Watch for incredible and very unusual signs in the heavens. New discoveries in science and astronomy; signs in the sun that will cause great discussion. Things will be written in the newspapers and on the media as they won’t be able to explain the unusual signs in the heavens, as God uses this to bring glory and honor to Jesus Christ while others try to explain it away.

I am recapping the first week of the Shemitah Year again because of the recent development of a Red Heifer being born in Gatesville, TX with a perfect white mark of #7 on his forehead. This birth can NOT be qualified to be part of the Third Temple because the mark is considered to be a “blemish, defect”, but it is still amazing considering being born on the first day of this Shemitah year! Another cow was born in Pennsylvania on September 20, 2014 with a #7 on his head. (Genesis 41, Pharaoh has a dream of 7 cows and then dreams again of  7 cows)

A Red Heifer is significant to the Last Days and the Third Temple because of what God commanded in Numbers 19:1-9, “Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, (2) “This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD has commanded, saying: ‘Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which a yoke has never come.” This is the pattern King Solomon used to cleanse the First Temple.

The Bible predicts that the Jewish Temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem. Ever since the 70 AD destruction of Israel’s second Temple, one major roadblock barring the reconstruction of the Temple is the fact that the Temple Mount area has been defiled with warfare. In order to cleanse the Tribulation Temple Mount for worship the Jews will need the ashes of a pure red heifer. To this date, none have been found.

I would like to highlight the incredible first week of this current Shemitah Year:

  • Day 1- September 25, US Attorney General Eric Holder resigned.
  • Day 1 – September 25, Red Heifer was born in Gatesville, TX with a perfect #7 on the forehead. In the Bible, the first mention of 7 is the day of rest, when God finished with His Creation work. The Shemitah Year is a 7th year rest for the land!
  • Day 1 – September 25, the first case of Ebola was symptomatic
  • Day 2- September 26, Liberian tourist to American goes to Dallas hospital with Ebola symptoms- sent home with antibiotics
  • Day 2 – September 26, Moore OK, man beheads woman with a knife
  • Day 4 – September 28, First case of Ebola in the US reported in Dallas, TX
  • Day 5 – September 29, PM Benjamin Netanyahu speaks to General Assembly at United Nations
  • Day 6 – September 30, Congress grills Secret Service Director, Julia Pierson on security breaches, with a major breach exposed following the hearing
  • Day 7 – October 1, PM Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Obama in the White House
  • Day 7 – October 1, Secret Service Director, Julia Pierson resigns following full details of security breaches for the White House and President
  • Day 7 – October 1, The Dow Jones industrial average plunged 238.19 points, or 1.4%, to 16,804.71. The S&P 500 dropped 26.13 points, or 1.3%, to 1946.16 and the Nasdaq composite skidded 71.30 points, or 1.6%, to 4422.09. October also makes investors uneasy, as it is a month known for major stock market crashes in 1929 and 1987.

Rabbi Jonathan Cahn wrote, “The Shemitah’s opening can mark the beginning of change and the shifting of momentum. At the same time, if a change or shifting should take place at this point, more often than not it tends to constitute a firstfruit, a foreshadow of what lies ahead, a subtle trace in comparison to what comes at the end. If there is a change at this point, its coming may or may not be noticeable at first. The general pattern is this: As the Shemitah progresses, and particularly, as it nears its end, its intensity increases.” (The Mystery of the Shemitah, Johnathan Cahn, Front Line Books, pg 238)

This current Shemitah Year (7 year land rest of Leviticus 25:4) began last week, September 24 at sundown and will continue until September 13, 2015. The last 2 Shemitah years ( 9/30/2000 – 9/17/2001  and  9/13/2007 – 9/28/2008) on the Hebraic calendar have ended with incredible loss of the stock market value in Wall Street. The last day of the Shemitah Year in 2001 saw a stock market loss of 684 points and the last day of the Shemitah Year in 2008 closed with a 777 point loss. The 2008 loss began the Great Recession and has shook the world’s economies with not one nation left untouched financially .

It looks to me that the Shemitah Year is beginning with a change, shifting and uncovering of things hidden in the darkness. Keep looking up!

Solar Eclipse – March 20

Blood Moon – April 4

Great clip on the Red Heifer with #7 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCcnpNmYwtI

The 2nd Blood Moon of this Blood Moon Tetrad over the Feast Days of the Lord on Passover and Tabernacles of 2014 will be seen at 6:25am EDT and end at 7:24 EDT according to NASA. This will be the last total lunar eclipse of 2014.  (5:25-6:24 CST)

This siting will be VERY RARE, since some areas will be able to see the full eclipse of the Moon as the Sun rises. This is called a “senenelion“, meaning the sun and eclipsed moon can be seen at the same time in some areas. According to geometry, this cannot happen. Well, we are living in very unusual times.

Keep looking up! I am praying for clear skies and plan to watch it from the Gulf of Mexico.

Tonight was the sun was setting on Yom Kippur, the feast of Day of Atonement, I was looking at the waxing moon. I took this photo with the SkyViewApp on my IPhone. The moon is resting on Capricorn, the “Sea Goat”. Capricorn represents ‘atonement’ and shows the Church and our benefits purchased at a great price.

Yom Kippur Eve 2014The Sea Goat appears to be dying with its head down, the right leg folded under the body and seems unable to rise with the left. The other part of the body is like a fish that is full of life.

  • In the Goat, we have the Atoning sacrifice as Jesus was that ‘scape goat’, sin offering
  • In the Fish we have the people for whom the atonement was made

The Egyptian name is Hu-perius, which means ‘the place of the sacrifice’. The Hebrew and Arabic name for the sign is Gedi, the ‘kid cut off‘ or ‘cut off‘. Capricorn is the Latin name and means ‘goat‘.

In the Old Testament, goats were often used for the sacrifice.

  • Leviticus 10:16, “Then Moses made careful inquiry about the goat of the sin offering, and there it was-burned up.”
  • Leviticus 9:3, “And to the children of Israel you shall speak, saying, ‘take a kid of the goats as a sin offering.”

On the Day of Atonement, there would be two goats. The High Priest would cast lots over the two goats. The High Priest would cast lots over the two goats to determine which would be the scapegoat who was called ‘azazel’ in Hebrew.

  • Leviticus 17:7-10, 22, “The goat shall bear on itself all their iniquities to an uninhabited land; and he shall release the goat in the wilderness.”
  • The sins were carried away with the goat, and when the goat was pushed over the cliff, the scarlet cord that was tied onto the door of the Temple would turn white. (Until the time of Jesus, when it never turned white again) Isaiah 1:18
  • Satan worshipers use a goat in satanic worship even today, perverting the real meaning.

The chief stars of the 51 stars that make up this constellation are:

  • Al Gedi – ‘the kid or goat’
  • Deneb Al Gedi – ‘the sacrifice cometh’
  • Dabih – ‘the sacrifice slain’
  • Ma’asad- ‘the slaying’
  • Sa’ad al Naschira – ‘the record of the cutting off’

The tail of the goat is the tail of the fish

  • A living fish proceeds from a dead goat (out of death proceeds life)
  • John 3:5, “Jesus answered, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.'”
  • The Fish relates to the Redeemed, born again Christians in their new birth

Psalm 19:1, The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. (2) Day unto day utters speech,
and night unto night reveals knowledge. (3) There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.

The last day of the Shemitah Year in 2001 saw a stock market loss of 684 points and the last day of the Shemitah Year in 2008 closed with a 777 point loss. The 2008 loss began the Great Recession and has shook the world’s economies with not one nation left untouched financially .

I would like to highlight the incredible first week of this current Shemitah Year:

  • Day 1- September 25, US Attorney General Eric Holder resigned.
  • Day 2- September 26, Liberian tourist to American goes to Dallas hospital with Ebola symptoms- sent home with antibiotics
  • Day 2 – September 26, Moore OK, man beheads woman with a knife
  • Day 4 – September 28, First case of Ebola in the US reported in Dallas, TX
  • Day 5 – September 29, PM Benjamin Netanyahu speaks to General Assembly at United Nations
  • Day 6 – September 30, Congress grills Secret Service Director, Julia Pierson on security breaches, with a major breach exposed following the hearing
  • Day 7 – October 1, PM Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Obama in the White House
  • Day 7 – October 1, Secret Service Director, Julia Pierson resigns following full details of security breaches for the White House and President
  • Day 7 – October 1, The Dow Jones industrial average plunged 238.19 points, or 1.4%, to 16,804.71. The S&P 500 dropped 26.13 points, or 1.3%, to 1946.16 and the Nasdaq composite skidded 71.30 points, or 1.6%, to 4422.09. October also makes investors uneasy, as it is a month known for major stock market crashes in 1929 and 1987.

It looks to me that the Shemitah Year is beginning with a change, shifting and uncovering of things hidden in the darkness. Keep looking up!

Blood Moon October 8 – 4am CST

YES!! October has 2 Eclipses and both can be seen from North America. October 8th will have a full blood moon and October 23rd will have a partial Solar Eclipse.

The April 15th Blood Moon (lunar eclipse) totally covered the brightest star in Virgo, which is called Spica in Latin. The Hebrew name is Tsemech and means Branch, representing the Messiah. I remember looking in my SkyView AP on my iPhone and seeing the lineup of planets and constellations. I was so excited I could not sleep the rest of the night!

Psalms 19:1-6 tell of how the heavens speak and show knowledge. What I experienced that night was amazing! Understanding the Constellations that Creator God planned for this tells the whole story of what he is doing on the earth right now. The Heavens ‘declare’ the glory of God!

1008Eclipse

 

October 8, 2014 we will see (weather permitting) the Blood Moon larger than the April 15 Blood Moon. Once it reaches totality, it will be Blood Red for approximately 59 minutes so you can set your alarms and rise early . Maybe you can have your devotions in the back yard, experiencing the incredible, awesome, majesty, greatness and glory of God!

God had an original intent of each constellation as together they tell the story of Jesus’ First coming, the Church Age and His Second Coming. April 15th, the Total Lunar Eclipse covered Book One of the 3 books of Heaven.How do they tell the story? God named all the stars. Each constellation (fixed stars) tell the story by the name God revealed to Adam, Seth and Enoch. The story begins at the brightest star and goes through each star like a chapter in the book.

Below I have listed the main 12 Constellations, each having 3 associated constellations. I have taken my study from the great book by E.W. Bullinger, “The Witness of the Stars”.

  • Book One: Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius: They all tell of Jesus’ birth and The Sufferings of Christ
  • Book Two: Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces and Aries: They tell the story of the Redeemed Church
  • Book Three: Taurus, Gemini, Cancer and Leo: They tell of the Glory of the Second Coming of Christ

TRULY AMAZING! The October Blood Moon is from Book Two of the story in the heavens! Below are the constellations involved in the great preview chart from Astronomy.com:

  • Eridanus (The River of the Judge) Wrath breaking forth for His enemies (associated with Taurus the Bull of Book Three)
  • Aries (The Lamb or Ram) The Lamb that was slain, prepared for victory
  • Cetus (The Sea Monster) The great enemy of the bound (associated with Aries the Lamb)
  • Pisces (The Fishes) The Redeemed blessed though bound- the fullness of the Church after the Resurrection of Christ
  • Andromeda (The Chained Woman) The Redeemed in her bondage and affliction (associated with Pisces, the Fishes)
  • Pegasus (The Winged Horse) The blessings coming quickly (associated with Aquarius) ENIF is an orange supergiant star in the nose of the horse.
  • Aquarius (The Water Bearer) The Living waters of blessing poured forth for the Redeemed! (I say “Let it Rain Jesus! We need a great awakening!!”)

I feel like the announcer on the movie SeaBiscuit, “Stop the presses, stop the presses!” Remember how excited he was? That is how I felt when I saw the alignment of the October 8th Blood Moon was over Pisces, on the night of the eve of the Feast of Tabernacles!!!

The sign of Pisces has always been interpreted as the nation of Israel. History records that 3 years before the birth of Moses, Jupiter (King Planet) and Saturn (Shabbatai, Lord of the Sabbath) were in conjunction with Pisces (representing the Hebrews, then nation of Israel). Josephus and other historians affirm that Egyptian astronomers interpreted the sign as an indicator that a great man would be born among the Jews.

Why 2 fishes? Because Abraham knew there was a heavenly city he belonged to, but was used of God on this earth. The same with the Church, the Body of Christ. I Peter 2:11 tells us we are ‘foreigners and aliens here”. Our citizenship is in heaven. One of the fishes is swimming towards the North Polar Star and the other fish is on the line of the ecliptic path of the Sun.

The Fishes are tied together by a cord, the constellation called Al Risha, a common bond.  Ephesians 2 tells us that the Church and the Jews are joined together to make “One New Man!” From what I see, the heavens are declaring that the Church will stand strong with Israel, with heavenly help from the hosts of Heaven. Jesus, the Lord of Hosts, Jehovah Sabbaoth will be directing the greatest move of God in history.  Wait and see! The Bible promises a great victory and the heavens declare with signs!

Pisces the Fishes

The Partial Solar Eclipse of October 23rd will be seen best in the northern parts of North America (viewing a 60% eclipse)  but all in North American will be able to view it. I live in Texas, by NASA, and we will see it from begin at 4:48 pm with maximum at 5:53pm and should see a 20-40% eclipse.

Thursday, October 23rd I will be ministering in Minneapolis so I should be part of the 60% eclipse viewers.

October 23rd is Tishri 29 on the Hebraic calendar. In Israel it will already be Tishri 30, the anniversary of the Knesset building in Jerusalem.  In 1958, the foundation stone was laid for Israel’s Knesset building in Jerusalem. The Knesset is composed of 120 members, the same size as the Great Assembly (“Knesset HaGedola”) that served as the rabbinical body during the Second Temple era. (The Great Assembly redacted the biblical books Ezekiel, Daniel and Esther, and composed many prayers such as the Amidah.) Today, the Israeli Knesset is known as a bastion of democracy in the Middle East, with women, Arabs, and other minorities represented. (Aish.com)

FYI- the eve of the 24th begins the Islam New Year.

Also the eve of Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan, the month of the Flood. Noah and his family entered the Ark on day 10 of Cheshvan. 7 days later it began to rain for 40 days and 40 nights. One year later on Cheshvan 27, the flood waters finally subsided and Noah, his family and the animals left the Ark. I always think of Jesus telling us His 2nd coming would be ‘like the days of Noah”.

Selah and Shalom, Shalom. Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.
