My Prophetic Outlook of 2012

The date of April 6, 2009 was found counting 1260 (3.5 X 360) days back from the Feast of Trumpets in 2012. Paul gave us Feast of Trumpets (I Thess. 4-5) for Christ's return, and Daniel (12:10-12) gave us the year which is 45 years after Jerusalem was retaken by Jews in 1967. All other dates are merely my conjecture. For how my post-trib view of the fulfillments of the seals, trumpets, and vials, read the 2011 booklet on my site at http://www.kneelingmedia.org/AwakeBride/.

On April 6, 2009, President Obama began his 3.5 years as the “little horn” by announcing in Turkey that “The United States is not, and never will be, at war with Islam.” In the first three months of 2011, President Obama systematically removed three of the ten horns of the Sunni beast: Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya. President Obama has not attempted to remove the two horns of the Shia beast: Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the Mahdi army in Iraq; and Ahmadenijad, the dictator of Iran (Persia). The Sunni and Shia hate the idolatrous Wahhabi of Saudi Arabia (whore of Babylon).

In October 2011, the US uncovered an Iranain plot to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador in DC. The Saudis are afraid the Iranians will attack them on their own soil. Al-Qaeda's attempts to blow-up the Kaaba in Mecca failed, but the Sunni beast will destroy the Jeddah-Mecca area (possibly with a little help from Shia Iran). The port of Jeddah sends out oil tankers throughout the world. The Saudis have had the US and other countries wrapped around their little oily fingers for generations.

“And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength to the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. And he said to me, The waters which you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God has put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which you saw is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.” (Rev. 17:12-18)

This destruction will be quick and devastating, and the smoke will be visible for miles.

“Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judges her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall mourn her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is your judgment come.” (Rev. 18:8-10)

That sounds like a conventional bomb. This is “mystery Babylon” not the city in Iraq. Babylon was the religious center of its time, today all Muslims pray facing Mecca.

The book of Esther is read during Israel's holiday of Purim. Purim is March 8, 2012 this year. In Persia, Haman cast lots (purim) for the best day to annihilate the Jews, and arrived with the 13th of Adar (Esther 3:13), which is the twelfth month of the Hebrew calendar. Because Esther fasted and prayed and boldly pleaded to the king for her people, the Jews were granted authrority to kill their persecutors on that day instead. Though Leon Panetta suggested Israel may attack Iran in April, May or June, I think March 8th would be poetic justice for the modern-day Haman.

Today on The 700 Club, Erick Stakelbeck stated that war against Israel would occur this year. He also suggested Isaiah 17:1 might be fulfilled soon.

“The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.” (Isaiah 17:1)

For more of Stakelbeck's amazing indepth reporting, check out his “Stakelbeck on Terror” at
http://blogs.cbn.com/stakelbeckonterror and don't be alarmed if his site is under attack and difficult to view. Though Tiglath-Pileser beseiged Damascus for three years, the Assyrians did not leave it as a heap of ruins.

This April 6, 2012 will be the evening prior to Passover commemorating Yahweh's deliverance of the Jews from Egypt. Egyptians might seek some poetic justice of their own in attacking Israel that day or during the following week of Unleavened Bread.

On the day of Messiah's return, September 16, 2012, some country is going to use chemical and/or nuclear bombs according to Zechariah, or the LORD will simulate something like it.

“And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand on their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor. And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance. And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.” (Zechariah 14:12-15)

Stay close to the LORD Jesus in prayer, and obey what His Holy Spirit tells you to do, because the coming days will be very perilous. 2011 saw the most earthquakes of any single year, and had ten different billion dollar disasters in the US alone. Jesus told us of the increase of quakes and signs in the sky (Matthew 24). I pray you are prepared.

Christmas 2011

In the first edition of The Maya (1966), author Michael D. Coe suggested the date of December 24, 2011 as one on which the Maya believed "Armageddon would overtake the degenerate peoples of the world and all creation." Also associated with this date was a catastrophic earthquake that would cause a one-world government to assemble and intervene.
On December 13, 2011, Dutchsinse gave an earthquake update in which he stated the west-coast of the US was due for a 5.0 – 6.0 quake in the next two weeks, which is not devastating. Geologists and prophets are expecting the Big One.
I have heard journalists and military experts say that if Israel was going to take out Iran's nuclear facilities it would have to be before winter. Since Christmas Eve isn't important to Jews, and news outlets give their major reporters time off, maybe it would be an opportune time for Israel to make a pre-emptive attack. The US has pulled its troops out of Iraq and may have left some fuel behind for Israel to refuel its jets.
Jesus was not born on December 25th, but legends say Mithra(s) was born from the rock on that day. Mithra was linked to the Sun and bulls, like Egyptian god Ra. The Vedic word mitra means “to bind” and is associated with judgment. So it would be interesting if the world sought to mete out 'justice' on that day against Israel after their “pre-emptive” strike against Iran who has been at war with them through Hamas and Hezbollah for over a decade.

“12And the sixth angel poured out his vial on the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 13And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.” (Rev. 16:12-16)

If Israel strikes Iran militarily, that doesn't mean troops of the world will be on the ground at Megiddo the next day. Though Turkey caused the Euphrates to dry up in 2008, they would need to do so again for the Muslim armies to cross it and fulfill the sixth vial. Now that US troops are out of Iraq, Muqtada al-Sadr can revive his Mahdi Army. Notice that our Savior places a note of His second coming in this build up toward the battle at Megiddo. For Jesus Chirst will come and gather His saints and we will join Him in destroying the armies attacking Israel as His warrior Bride.

The Prophetic Timing of Jerusalem's Destruction

Creator God has consistently given Isreal the exact timing of their judgment, and has given prophets forewarning of that exact timing. Bible teachers have been lax in their duty in this regard, and so many believers will be unprepared for the return of King Jesus to judge the world.

Destruction of Jerusalem (summer, 9th of Av, 586 BC and 70 AD)
According to Eusibius, Nebuchadnezzar II reigned 607-562 BC (20 months viceroy, 43 years sole king). In Jehoiakim's third year (607-606 BC), Nebuchadnezzar II, as viceroy, took thousands of people back to Babylon with him, including the brightest young men, like Daniel. Jehoiachin was taken to Babylon along with Ezekiel and others in 599 BC. In the fifth year of Jehoiakim's captivity (594 BC), the LORD told Ezekiel to build a model of a siege of Jerusalem and to lay before it in chains on his left side for 390 days for the iniquity of Israel, and then on right his side for 40 days for the iniquity of Judah; with each day representing a year of siege (Ez. 4:1-17). Ezekiel (35:5) later explained the end of their time of iniquity would be the time of their calamity when Edom (Seir) shed the blood of Israelites, which is verified by Obadiah 1:12-14 and Psalm 137:7 to be the time of Jerusalem's destruction when Edomites cheered and killed refugees who were escaping in 586 BC.
The 390 days equalled the 390 years of Israel's idolatry from the golden calves which Jeroboam established in the beginning of his reign in summer 975 BC (which was his first Tishri regnal year of 976-975 BC) until the destruction of Jerusalem in summer of 586 BC. Now 976 - 586 = 390 years. This included Jeremiah's seventy year prophecy (Jer. 25:11 and 29:10) which began with the first transportation into exile by Nebuchadnezzar in 606 BC and ended in 536 BC when the first exiles returned to Jerusalem with Ezra under the decree of Cyrus. (Ezra 1:1-3:1 The decree was in the first year of Cyrus as emperor, and they left in the 7th month.) The remaining 40 years, a generation, of judgment upon Judah was the 40 year period from 30-70 AD of which Jesus declared their guilt and prophesied their punishment. (Matthew 21:31-38; Luke 11:47-51; 21:20-32) The destruction of the 2nd Temple in 70 AD completed the punishment for their sins according to Daniel's 70 week prophecy (Daniel 9:24-27). The destructions of both the first and second temples occurred on the 9th of Av (II Kings 25:8-10 plus two days to round up captives and loot the Temple); God getting the point of the exact timing of His prophecies across.

Peter and Paul were martyred in 67 AD, but they saw the growing persecution, and were aware of Christ's “generation” prophecy soon to be fulfilled. By this time many priests had come to faith in Messiah (Acts 6:7). So the “house of God” could rightly be referring to the Temple (Mat. 23:38) and the body of believers (I Peter 2:5).

“Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Why let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator.” (I Peter 4:16-19)

time is kairos
judgment is krinos

The final 3.5 years of Daniel's 70th week and “Jacob's trouble” occurred from 66-70 AD, culminating in the destruction of Jerusalem and over one million Jews. Similarly we will soon culminate the 3.5 years of Revelation and God's judgment of the world which will center on their hatred for Jews and Jerusalem. When Jesus was in the process of fulfilling Daniel's 70th week, Jews had a hard time accepting a man from Nazareth, and He chided them for not knowing the day of their visitation (Luke 19:45); and King Jesus will return on an exactly prophesied day and year again.

“. . . they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.” (I Peter 2:12)

“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. . . . But of the times and the seasons [kairos], brothers, you have no need that I write to you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes on them, as travail on a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.” (I Thess. 4:16 - 5:4)

From Paul's teaching, the 'day' of Christ's visitation is Feast of Trumpets, just like it was in 3 BC when Messiah was born. From Daniel 12:10-12, the year is 2012 based upon the pivotal year of 1967 when the Jews retook Jerusalem. Please prepare yourselves for LORD Yeshua's return and His judgment upon the world as He fights from Jerusalem.

Obama Fulfilled 'Sitting' in 'Temple'

On September 11, 2011 Obama quoted Psalm 46 at Ground Zero.
This fulfilled II Thess. 2:3-4 again.
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
“That day” is of Christ's return; see II Thess. 2:1 “the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”.
“Falling away” is Chrislam and other heretical beliefs.
“Son of perdition” is Barack Hussein Obama.
“Opposes” is antikeimai which also means adversarial.
“Exalts” is huperairomai which also means 'over'-reach or raise 'over', or haughtiness.
“God” is theos which also means a deity, especially the supreme Divinity; and figuratively a magistrate according to Strongs Concordance.
“Worshipped” is kathidzo which also means appoint, or confer a kingdom according to Thayer's Concordance.
“Showing” is apodeiknumi which also means 'off'-'showing', or showing off.
“Temple” is naos which also means any heathen temple or SHRINE according to Thayer.
The Temple in Jerusalem was known as hieron, which is a word built upon the first part of the city's name Jerusalem, which means 'to teach peace'; salem being peace. Hieron is used in the Gospels and Acts and once in 1 Corinthians 9:13. A common word for dwelling or tent, naos, was also used to refer to the Temple as well as other places, like the shrine of Diana (Acts 19:24).
Substituting other meanings, here is another possible translation for II Thess. 2:4
“Who is adversarial and haughty above all called magistrates or confering a kingdom, so that he as magistrate sits in the shrine of a diety showing off himself that he is a magistrate.”
No clergy was allowed at the Ground Zero Shrine, so Obama could confer his spiritual kingdom upon his country as their supreme magistrate.

Psalm 46
“1God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." -- He will be our only help this coming year, because of the devastation coming upon the Earth.
“2Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the middle of the sea; 3Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.” -- The Earth's axis has moved before, but it will be worse. There's still a debris field afloat in the Pacific from Japan's quake and tsunami. Earth has been having a 6.0 quake almost daily around the Pacific Ring of Fire. The Cascadia subduction zone recently had a 6.4 quake relieving pressure there, so California better prepare for the Big One.
“4There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.” -- In the millennial temple of Ezekiel, the river of life flows from the throne of God and brings healing.
“5God is in the middle of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.” -- I think Scriptures in Daniel and Matthew point to Christ's return at midnight on Rosh haShanah, September 16, 2012; so this verse may point to Messiah destroying the armies of the wicked attacking Israel at dawn on September 17th.
“6The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.” -- The U.N. military leaders won't like having their armies destroyed. On September 18, 2012, Almighty God will destroy the Earth He created with fire (II Peter 3).
“7The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 8Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he has made in the earth.” -- Jesus/Yeshua will be with us, keeping us safe in the New Jerusalem during this time of the destruction and creation of a new heaven and Earth. After our 7-day wedding feast, we will return to an edenic world on Yom Kippur.
“9He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in sunder; he burns the chariot in the fire. 10Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” -- This either continues the theme of the wicked armies and Earth's destruction by fire, or goes ahead to the final destruction of Gog and Magog at the end of the millennium.
“11The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.” -- YHWH/Yeshua renamed Jacob as “prince/victor of God”- Israel. Security isn't found in caverns of concrete, but in the Savior, Jesus Christ, the LORD!

But Obama did not “sit”, he stood to read Psalm 46. The first time Obama, the “son of perdition”, fully fulfilled II Thess. 2:3-4 was on July 24, 2008 in Berlin, Germany. Obama visited the Pergamon Museum which was built to contain the altar of Zeus (“seat of Satan” Rev. 2:13) that was transported from Turkey prior to Hitler's rise. Please watch a special video on it at http://www.cbn.com/700club/features/churchhistory/pergamon/ After Obama gave “The World that Stands as One” speech in front of Hitler's victory column and war goddess at Hitler's hoped for 'world capital', German radio declared Obama would be “the next president of the United States . . . and the future president of the world.”
We understand how demons have dominion over areas (“prince of Persia”) and objects (idols, I Cor. 10:19-20). So we can understand that by Obama being in Hitler's 'world capital' and touching the “seat of Satan” which is the altar to the Greek deity Zeus, that he became possessed by Satan like the first “son of perdition” (Judas, Luke 22:3 and John 17:12).
Substituting other meanings, here is another possible translation for II Thess. 2:4
“Who is adversarial and haughty above all called dieties or worshipped, so that he as a diety SITS in the shrine showing himself that he is a diety.”
Obama needed a 'spiritual' experience to prove to himself (“showing himself”) that he really had the power to pull off becoming president of the United States and the world. He then ordered a stage to be built which replicated the altar of Zeus for him to give his acceptance speech for the democratic presidential nomination, just as Hitler had a replica of it built for his speeches. Satan is their source of power; replicating Satan's throne reassured them that Satan had fully empowered them to take over the world.

“Mystery Babylon” to be Hit

“And on her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration [wonder].” (Rev. 17:5-6)

Today, when I heard hurricane Irene had hit Babylon, New York; I had to look it up on Google maps. Yup, there it is on Long Island. New York City is a part of “mystery Babylon. The following is from “Awake, Bride”, p. 265-266 on how New York City related to Revelation 11:8-12:

“During the Revolutionary War New York City was greatly damaged twice by fires, laid siege to, and many battles were fought there with patriots crying, "No king but King Jesus!" From 1788 to 1790, New York City was the capital of the United States of America. (Jerusalem is Israel's capital in which Jesus was crucified as King of the Jews, and later laid siege to and burned.) New York City is currently the most populous city ("great city") of the United States with over eight million people, and it is the city with the largest Jewish population outside of Israel (like Egypt housed the Hebrews for hundreds of years). It also has a large homosexual community ("Sodom"). The two olive trees and two candlesticks represent God's two anointed 'sons' (Zechariah 4:14), Jews and Gentiles. 'Witness' is another word for 'martyr'. Those who died in the 9/11 attacks were martyred for living in a Christian country which protected the Jews.
On September 11, 2001 Islamic terrorists flew planes into the Twin Towers, and almost 3,000 people from 90 different countries died. The Muslims in Palestine were shown dancing in the streets and celebrating by passing out candy. This was the "white horse" of the first seal. Muslims have been slaughtering Christians around the world and leaving their corpses to rot. The "three and a half days" refers to the 3½ years of the Great Tribulation in which there will be more martyrs. The slaughter of believers will continue and increase until Rosh Hashanah, September 16, 2012 when the heavens and earth will shake at the Lord's coming, and He will call His people to Him.”
3,000 is the number of calf-worshippers killed when Moses came down from Mt. Sinai with the 10 commandments of YHWH (Ex. 32:28) on the very first Feast of Weeks, and 3,000 is how many got saved when the disciples proclaimed the wonders of God in different languages on the first Feast of Weeks, called Pentecost (Acts 2:41), after Jesus ascended to heaven. That about 3,000 were killed at the opening of the first seal to me means Jesus is preparing to return from heaven.
That America soon went to war against Babylon, Iraq is also interesting, because Peter preached to the expatriate Jews in Babylon, and established a church there that has lasted for 2,000 years. Yes, the real Mesopotamian Babylon, not Rome. Recall, because of their idol worship, God sent Nebuchadnezzar to carry the Jews into exile in Babylon beginning with Daniel and his three teen-age frieds. (Daniel died in Mesopotamia, and the Muslims venerate his tomb.)

“Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O you house of Israel, have you offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? Yes, you took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which you made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.” (Acts 7:42-43)

“The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, salutes you; and so does Marcus my son.” (I Peter 5:13)

Though Babylon, Iraq has been a center of power for anti-christs and their religions which worship the moon and stars, the religious center moved to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The black cube containing a black meteorite is called the Kabba which Muslims walk around and pray towards. It used to be a harem of religious prostitutes to many gods, but Mohammed through all of them out except the moon god and declared it to be the diety, al-ilah (Allah). It is the base of wickedness transferred to the desert (Zechariah 5:2-3, 6b-11). A few miles from Mecca on the coast is the busy seaport of Jeddah. Saudi Arabia is one of the wealthiest countries on earth to which all kings have had to 'kiss up'.

Babylon, Iraq has been subdued, but it will rise up again with the Mahdi army soon. Since the beginning of the 6th trumpet on August 23, 2011, God has cracked American icons, and New York has been hit with a hurricane which has paralyzed its subway system. It seems that “mystery Babylon” Mecca-Jeddah is due to be hit this fall during all the close asteroid movements and meteor showers.

“And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like to this great city! And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. Rejoice over her, you heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets; for God has avenged you on her. And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.” (Rev. 18:18-21)

I may have misunderstood the timing of the 5th and 6th seals. They may come close together to “avenge” the righteous blood of the saints. If so I would break the 6th seal into two parts, with the first part coming with the great earthquake about to hit the West Coast followed by the asteroids and meteors and the tail of Elenin this fall.

“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given to every one of them; and it was said to them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brothers, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, see, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.” (Rev. 6:9-13)

Dormant volcanos in the western United States have already been venting. A Santa Barbara hillside is venting. Citizens in San Diego county smell burning petroleum and 'rotten eggs' (sulfur); precursors to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. If the ring of fire on the west coast does what happened to Japan on the east side of the Pacific, all the ash would block out the sunlight. Pray that the volcanic activity does not set off the supervolcano at Yellowstone.

And the last part of the 6th seal, right before the 7th seal, 7th vial, and the final 7th trumpet of Messiah's return at midnight (Jerusalem time) on September 16, 2012.

“And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every slave, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” (Rev. 6:9-14-17)

Ask God how you should prepare, and what you should do, if anything. Stay close to Jesus and your loved ones.

Bride in New Jerusalem while Earth Burns

The New Jerusalem of Revelation 21 is described as a huge cube with a side length of about 1350 miles with twelve gates. It would crack the Earth's crust, so I think it will orbit earth; and after Christ establishes His millennial kingdom on Earth, “the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it” (Rev. 21:24). In Hebrews 12:22 the New Jerusalem is called “mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem.” The New Jerusalem is the Bridal chamber Jesus said He was preparing for Us (John 14:1-3), a royal pavilion. A pavilion is a large, luxurious tent often used by kings and nobles (see Jer. 43:10).

“For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up on a rock.” (Psalm 27:5)

I am post-trib, and believe at Messiah's one return, believers will be “translated” like Enoch (Heb. 11:5) and be visibly (to those left behind) taken up “into heaven” like Elijah (II Kings 2:11). Read that chapter and you'll discover that Elijah, Elisha, and all the prophets of three towns knew the day Elijah was going to be translated by YHWH. From discovering the year of 2012 from the end of Daniel (12:9-12) and Rosh HaShanah (the unknown day and hour, or the 'hidden' day) from Mat. 24, I arrived at September 16, 2012 as the day of Christ's return. The description of the stars in Rev. 12:1 occurred on Rosh HaShanah, September 11, 3 BC, Jesus' birthday; that's why He opened the first seal on September 11, 2001. Certainly believers would know the true birthday of their LORD and recognize they were living in the last days. But I didn't until I trashed the “doctrines of men” and allowed God's Holy Spirit to teach me eschatology from His Word. I did not 'predict' a sign from heaven would occur on August 23, 2011; I simply counted 391 backwards from September 16, 2011 for the beginning of the 6th trumpet (Rev. 9:14-15) and vial. Israel did a surgical strike and killed a Islamic Jihad member that day, and God shook the East coast and cracked symbols of America without killing one person to give a final wake-up call before one-third of mankind is killed.
Counting backward 1260 days (Rev. 11:2-3) that brought me to April 6, 2009. I knew the "son of perdition" would have to be in power for the entire 3.5 years (x 360) of 1260 days of the time-period John gave in Revelation for the period in which the "temple court" (the Temple Mount, not the Temple itself) would be trampled by the Gentiles; this is what I call the "great tribulation" (Rev. 7:14) - there is no 7-year tribulation. John never says 7 years or two 3.5 year periods. Rev. 11:2-3 makes it very clear that the "great tribulation" to which John refers is a 3.5 year period. Jesus said, "In this world you'll have tribulation", so basic tribulation has been ongoing for 2,000 years. I believe the 3.5 year period of 66-70 AD which concluded Daniel's 70th week was a microcosm of what will happen to the whole world; in the end the world will be destroyed by fire (II Peter 3).

Throughout the Bible September 16, 2012 is known as “the day of the LORD” which is often shortened to “the day” or “that day” of Messiah's return to judge the Earth and resurrect the righteous.
Let's take a look at Isaiah 26.

“1In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. 2Open you the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in. 3You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you. 4Trust you in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:”

Note the similarities to New Jerusalem, a 'strong city' with 'gates' for 'righteous nations'.

“5For he brings down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he lays it low; he lays it low, even to the ground; he brings it even to the dust. 6The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. 7The way of the just is uprightness: you, most upright, do weigh the path of the just. 8Yes, in the way of your judgments, O LORD, have we waited for you; the desire of our soul is to your name, and to the remembrance of you.”

In contrast those of the proud and 'lofty city' will be tread down by the 'poor' in spirit in their new resurrection bodies as they join their LORD in pouring out His judgments (Psalm 149:6-9), so that even the heathen will declare Yeshua is LORD.

“9With my soul have I desired you in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you early: for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. 10Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. 11LORD, when your hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yes, the fire of your enemies shall devour them.”

Even now people still say these 'natural disasters' are not the work of the LORD's hand. Fire will devour them.

“12LORD, you will ordain peace for us: for you also have worked all our works in us. 13O LORD our God, other lords beside you have had dominion over us: but by you only will we make mention of your name. 14They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. 15You have increased the nation, O LORD, you have increased the nation: you are glorified: you had removed it far to all the ends of the earth. 16LORD, in trouble have they visited you, they poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.”

Isaiah recounts the history of Israel and how the ten tribes were carried off into Assyria to chasten them for worshipping other gods.

“17Like as a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in your sight, O LORD. 18We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.”

Because of their idolatry, Israel was not fulfilling its purpose during the divided kingdom. But at the end of the “birth pangs” we are in now, Yeshua Himself will establish His everlasting kingdom.

“19Your dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, you that dwell in dust: for your dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.”

Isaiah encourages the people that in the 'regeneration' they will be able to live again with joy.

“And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, That you which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, you also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundred times, and shall inherit everlasting life. (Matthew 19:28-29)

“20Come, my people, enter you into your chambers, and shut your doors about you: hide yourself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be over.”

Refer back to Psalm 27:5. After Yeshua takes us to New Jerusalem, the door will be shut, and the Earth will be burned. It will be a "little moment" about a day to purify the earth by fire, and we will enjoy the wedding feast for 7 days until we return to a new Earth.

I think He even gave us the time on Rosh haShanah of His return, at midnight Jerusalem time.

“And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him. . . . And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Truly I say to you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes.” (Mathew 25:6-10)

21For, behold, the LORD comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.”

(end of Isaiah 26)

The LORD shall avenge the righteous blood of the saints (Rev. 6:10 and 19:2), and the innocent babies which have been slaughtered by the millions. The earth groans under the weight of that blood-guilt.

“For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.” (Romans 8:22-23)

HalleluYah, our Bridegroom has purchased Us with His blood, and is coming to redeem His purchased possession. But Messiah will not rape us, there will be the 7th and final trumpet, and the shout “Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him.” Be ready for that final act of obedience to respond “YES” when the shout comes. Do not turn back like Lot's wife (Luke 17:32).

I love doing Bible studies; I can do it for hours. Others can pray for hours, and I am amazed. We all have different gifts, use yours to the fullest in this final year.

Fulfillment of prophecy on August 23, 2011

Recap regarding how I arrived at the date of August 23, 2011 for the beginning of the sixth trumpet and vial.

In 2007 I began earnest study of the “feasts of the LORD” and their prophetic fulfillments. I discovered Messiah fulfillfed the Spring and Summer feasts in order at the end of His first coming. Yeshua became our Lamb sacrifice on Passover, He was entombed as the Sinless Savior during the feast of unleavened bread, and He rose the third day on the feast of first fruits. Yeshua is the resurrection and the life! He physically walked and ate with His disciples for 40 days in His resurrected body, and then ascended to heaven; and sent them His Holy Spirit 7 days later on feast of weeks (pentecost). 3 + 40 + 7 = 50 days

I discovered that the first fall feast was not named, nor was it known when to celebrate during Messiah's time on earth, because the Sanhedrin had to verify/sanctify the new moon; so it was the only feast no one knew the day nor hour to celebrate it. Jesus had answered His disciples exactly which day to expect Him to return. Those who know the feasts of the LORD, know Messiah returns on the “memorial for blowing trumpets”. The memorial of Joseph being raised by pharaoh to power and given a wife. In Hebrew ceremonies, the groom arrives after sunset to escort his bride to the wedding; he steals her away like a 'thief'.

“But of the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that I write to you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes on them, as travail on a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.” (1 Thess. 5:1-4)

After some study, I knew Daniel predicted the year of Messiah's first coming as the Prince when God declared “This is my beloved Son” at His baptism in 29 AD, 483 years from Artaxerxes decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. By reading commentaries prior to the 1800's I learned it was traditionally accepted that Messiah then made a covenant of faith with many Jews, and was cut-off in the middle of the “week”, 3.5 years into His ministry. The remaining 3.5 years “until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured on the desolate” was fulfilled during the Israel-Roman War from 66-70 AD in which the Daniel's “holy city” was burned and destroyed.
As I read the entire book of Daniel, I discovered there was more than one “abomination of desolation”; in particular one which the reader should “understand”.

“Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.” (Daniel 12:9-12) 1290 years + 45 years more = 1335 years

I investigated as to when the Muslim abominations had been “set up” on the Temple Mount. The Dome of the Rock was constructed in 687 AD. The wooden Al-Aqsa Mosque was started between 670-674, and seen completed by Gaullic bishop Arculf who lived in Palestine between 679 and 682 (Medieval Jerusalem and Islamic Worship by Amikam Elad). Trying the years 674-679, I found that starting with the year 677 AD + 1290 = 1967 which was the year Jews regained the Temple Mount. Forty-five years later came to 2012. Daniel's prophecy of the year of Christ's return was “sealed” until the first seal was opened on September 11, 2001. I imagine others have discovered it as well. On January 11, 2009 I published my first video on how the first seals had already been opened.

Rosh haShanah in 2012 is September 16th.

“Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.” (Rev. 9:14-15)

The three and a half years of the tribulation equal 1260 days based upon 30 day months (Rev. 11:2-3). Using this verse as a time marker for the 6th trumpet, 12 x 30 + 1 x 30 + 1 = 391 days. Counting backwards 391 days brought me to August 23, 2011 for the beginning of the 6th trumpet.
As I studied Revelation, I noticed the parallels of the judgments of the trumpets and vials. On page 598 of J. Barton Payne' “Encyclopedia of Biblical Prophecy” I saw a chart which showed the trumpets and vials in tandem.
Counting backward 3.5 years x 360 days = 1260 days from September 16, 2012 came to April 6, 2009 for the beginning of Revelation's Great Tribulation. Though I had the bulk of my book, “Awake, Bride” completed before that date, and rushed a first edition, it had many typos, so I was able to include what happened on that date in my revision. I then began producing videos to accompany the book. Then with work and moving, I set it all aside for a season; during which time I had missed recognizing the first two trumpets and vials. By the time of Japan's quake and nuclear disaster, I was confused that the 3rd trumpet seemed to be out of order. Then I carefully reviewed the disasters since April 6, 2009, and came to realize everything was perfectly in order, and I published a fulfillment update to “Seals, Trumpets and Vials” and produced a video about it.

Well, I didn't know what 'sign' would occur at the beginning of 6th trumpet and seal on August 23, 2011, but just like the sign of the beginning of the Great Tribulation on April 6, 2009, it involves Obama "the son of perdition" and the US "that withholds" being “taken out of the way”. I think the earthquake jarring the US capitol is one of God's warnings to the American people to make sure they're on God's side in support of Israel and not on Obama's side who recently asked Netanyahu to apologize to Turkey when they ran Israel's blockade last year; the earthquake was God's response. It cracked the Washington Monument signifying America is damaged, and will be further damaged. Several Israelis were killed by Egyptian Muslims last week, and Israel killed an Islamic Jihad member in Gaza on August 23, 2011 as a sign that Israel eventually is victorious. (http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/aug2011/jay825.htm) The UN is already blaming Israel for that surgical strike. The UN also felt the earthquake of God's response.
I have been faithful to freely publish what Almighty God has enabled me to see in His Word. (www.kneelingmedia.org) I pray many followers of Yeshua will study it and be prepared for His return on September 16, 2012.
