Did The Seven Year Tribulation Begin?: The Collapse of the World Trade Centers Have Pervasive Prophetic Implications. Did the Year 5993 Start as a Result? Observe How Current Events Parallel the Fall Feasts of Yahweh.

To the right are monthly Biblical calendars for the year 5992-5993. The year 5992 is selected for Aviv 1 by deducting 10 years from the year 6002. The year of 6002 for Aviv 1 (March 26-27, 2001) was selected as a base year as a result of Michael Rood's work from www.MichaelRood.com. The corresponding traditional Jewish year is 5761-5762 and solar-Gregorian year is 2001 (March) through 2002 (February). In the column of months on the right, note that the number of month in the first parentheses is pre-Israel (Genesis 8:4) and the number of month in the second parentheses is when Israel was established (Exodus 12:2). Per Exodus 12:2 there was a shift in beginning of months from Tishri to Aviv.

I am relying on Michael Rood's original work last year (April 2000) as the foundation for the identification of the correct Biblical year. I'm impressed that Michael Rood identified the start of the 7th Millennium, 6001, last year, Aviv 1, on April 6th, 2000 (not May 5th, 2000). Per discussion with Bill K. of Kehilat Beth Miqlat (http://scroll.to/unseal) it is understood that the barley does not have to be "Abib" on the Temple Mount only. The Barley was "Abib" one month earlier than May 5th, 2000 on April 6th, 2000 in Jerusalem. In consideration of this, as well as the the timing of the Temple Mount conflict last fall on Erev Yom Teruach (traditional Jewish calendar), I'm impressed that April 6th, 2000 and not May 5th, 2000 started the 7th Millennium or Aviv 1, 6001. The Temple Mount conflict began on the eve of Yom Teruach (Israeli time zone) which was on September 29-30, 2000 in U.S. time zones (Elul 29 per the traditional Jewish calendar).

In consideration of revelation knowledge acquired up through the Feast of Tabernacles this year (October 2001), I'm impressed that the "clock" has been turned back on the prophetic timeline by ten years on Aviv 1, 6002 (evening of March 26, 2001). Therefore, Aviv 1, 6002 is now Aviv 1, 5992. I'm impressed a shift in time occurred on Tishri 1, 5992 (September 18-19, 2001) following Aviv 1, 5992. Therefore, it is possible Tishri 1, 5993 started on the evening of September 18, 2001 per the Biblical (Lunar) Calendar. This makes the beginning of months in Tishri and not Aviv where the year 5992 only lasted 6 months.

Time was turned back ten years in scripture once before. The beginning of months was also switched in scripture once before. Obviously when a beginning of months is declared half way through the year, it makes the current year last only six months. I'm impressed this is what happened in Genesis. Because I'm impressed that their was a shift in time, we may be now in the age that is covered by the Book of Revelation.  Messiah's Second Coming is in the fulfillment of the Fall Feasts. This fact is one good indicator that there will have to be a shift in beginning of months to Tishri instead of Aviv. Because the scriptures require us to "count" and keep Yahuah's time, I'm impressed that the shift in time is to occur before Messiah's return. This would have to happen by revelation to many in the Body of Messiah.

Another key indicator suggesting that there may have been a shift in time is the collapse of the Word Trade Center.  We'll discuss this in a moment. Before I proceed further, I want to say this. Be sure to pray, keep watch, walk in obedience to Yahshua HaMaschiach (Christ), be lead by the Ruach HaChodesh (Holy Spirit) and don't draw any final conclusions. I present this information to you for the purpose of prayer, reflection, learning and discussion. Hyperlinks to news articles may get outdated. If this is the case, you will have to search for the article yourself. I have noticed that in the last year, some big media no longer keep their articles online for others to link to them. Because key revelation was revealed during the Feast of Tabernacles this year, I just want to note that my family and friends attended the Feast of Tabernacles hosted by Steve Berkowitz of Beit Tefilla in Bremerton this year on Vashon Island (www.PugetSoundMessianic.org). Now let's proceed.

In order to better understand the prophetic significance of the collapse of the World Trade Centers, take the time to pray and study the Ministry's Featured Bible Study titled, "World Trade Center Collapse: Judgment of Yahweh, The 11:11 Phenomenon, The Apostate Church (Whore of Babylon) is Divorced, Her First Seal Is Broken." This event has pervasive prophetic implications that we are only beginning to understand and the study will give you a greater depth of understanding necessary to better comprehend what is presented here.

First note that the World Trade Centers collapsed on Elul 22. See the month of Elul on the Biblical (Lunar) Calendar. This day is seven days prior to the beginning of the month of Tishri or Yom Teruach. It is the first day of the week of the last week of Elul. Per Bill K., it is Rabbinic tradition that the last week in the month of Elul is considered to be the week of creation. I did not understand the full significance of this until the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) this year (October 2001).

One of the speakers at Sukkot was Jeremiah Ginsberg (www.JerusalemGates.org), author of the book, "While The Fiddler Played, the world came to an end." In his first presentation on the first day of the feast he noted that "The Lord said this was the ' Big Bang '." Jeremiah was referring to the day of the collapse of the World Trade Centers. Jeremiah explained that he knew there is no such thing as the ' Big Bang ' according to Bible scripture, but Jeremiah noted, with a shrug, that this was what "The Lord told him."

I immediately knew what Jeremiah was speaking about when I heard this. At this time I was already impressed that there had been a shift in time. It was apparent that our Everlasting Father, Yahshua HaMaschiach, did "speak" to Jeremiah telling him this was the "Big Bang." It literally was symbolic of the Big Bang, because it happened on the first day of the "week of creation." The collapse of the towers has even more imagery related to the Book of Genesis. Let's take a look.

First, understand that the collapse of the towers is an "11:11 Phenomenon." Imagery about the event is directly related to Genesis 11 (the beginning) and Revelation 11 (the end.) The Ministry's Featured Bible Study referenced above will provide you with more understanding of the "11:11 Phenomenon" and how this phenomenon was a pervasive revelation in the collapse of the towers.

Note also that the Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters. It is no coincident that this event happened on Elul 22. This is another symbolic way pointing to "the end" because of the imagery of the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The number 22 is also 11 + 11, another type of "11:11 Phenomenon."

Ron Wyatt's discovery of the Ark of the Covenant revealed that Yahshua had 22 chromosomes plus two sex determining chromosomes. It is interesting to note that the 22nd chromosome was fully mapped in December 1999. I'm impressed this is another indicator of where we are on Yahuah's time. Take a look at this site, "First Human Chromosome Complete" from the Sanger Institute.

Between Tishri 1, 5993 (September 18-19, 2001) and Tishri 10, 5993 (September 27-28, 2001) Bill K. visited my family. During the visit we reviewed multiple scriptures relating to the collapse of the towers. At one moment we were both impressed that the First of Seven Seals was broken on Elul 22. At this time, Bill and I are strongly impressed that this event was the literal and final fulfillment of the breaking of the First Seal in the Book of Revelation chapter 6. In order to understand why, please refer to the Ministry's Featured Bible Study referenced above. It is possible that the breaking of the First Seal may be a key indicator suggesting the start of a seven year tribulation period.

Another indicator that this event may start the beginning of a 7 year tribulation is impressed by a vision from a brother in Messiah, Ya'kov, from Northern California. The vision was revealed by the Ruach HaChodesh (Holy Spirit) to Ya'kov during Sukkot last year in Ocean Shores, Washington. Sukkot last year was hosted by Christian Renewal Ministries at www.Shalom-CRMI.org. He shared the vision with my family and Bill K. at that time. The revelation was more clearly understood on the 8th day of Sukkot, October 9-10, 2001 (10-10-01) after discussing events during this year's Feast and reflecting on scripture. As we discussed the vision again this year, events during this year's Sukkot started unraveling and we realized they were adding another dimension to Ya'kov's vision. This year, Bill and my family actually experienced the imagery of Ya'kov's vision while Ya'kov had no part in the experience. This is why I can say it is from the Ruach HaChodesh (Holy Spirit) because there is only one power that can arrange an experience like this.

I won't go into the details, imagery or symbolism of Ya'kov's vision but will relate the highlights here. The vision Ya'kov had last year was over three nights as he was driving back to his temporary boarding room from the Feast. The first night it was a vision of a very large strong, muscular dear running along a roadside, next three flying bats swoop down in front of his car, following this two frogs leap across the road. The second night he had a vision of three dead possums on the road. On the third night his vision was a big white owl that swoops down in front of his car. Notice there are seven animals each having a symbolic meaning.

I won't get into details but will offer a quick review of what the animals may mean symbolically in light of my conversation with Ya'kov and Bill K.. The dear, a Biblically clean animal, may be symbolic of Yahshua or His people. The bat is symbolic of demons or fallen angels. The frog is symbolic of evil spirits and disease. The possums, a Biblically unclean animal, are symbolic of "unclean" people dying. The white owl, a Biblically unclean animal, is symbolic of a demon disguised as "an angel of light." In the vision Henry Gruver had of a nuclear attack on America presented in his video titled, "A Saw Submarines Attack America," the large croaking frog symbolized chemical warfare. He shares this in the video in the vision he calls the "Prince Charles Vision." You can get the video from www.ProphecyClub.com.

On the 8th day as Ya'kov, Bill K. and my family sat around reflecting on Sukkot this year (October 2001), we suddenly realized we literally saw and heard the animals in Ya'kov's vision during the Feast. In the first camp we heard a few loud owls, and possum-like animals (may be raccoons). I my days of camping, I have never heard these sounds as clear or unique as I did during the first two nights of Sukkot.  In the second camp, we experienced hearing frogs and toads. The croaking was loud and distinguished, and it has been a while since I have heard frogs and toads croak in the wilderness- I actually live in a wilderness setting. One night, as we were driving back to the second camp a huge, muscular dear crossed our path. It was an impressive dear. Bill and I agreed that it was the largest dear we had ever seen. Throughout our stay at the second camp the kids kept complaining about one of the staff members revealing vampire-like teeth to them and it frightened them. I later confronted this staff member and learned that he had real vampire teeth and he said they were hereditary. Ya'kov noted that families who have ancestors involved in witchcraft actually inherit vampire-like teeth. In reflection of Ya'kov's vision and our experience, it was apparent that this staff member was symbolically the "flying bat."

Because there were seven animals in Ya'kov's vision, we are impressed that the vision is symbolic of a seven year tribulation period. This vision was manifest twice, once in last year's Sukkot and once in this year's Sukkot. Last year the vision was observed by Ya'kov only. This year, Bill K. and my family physically saw and heard the animals in Ya'kov's vision. I'm impressed that it may be another key indicator suggesting that Tishri 1 (Sept 18-19, 2001) may be the beginning of a seven year tribulation. We'll have to keep watch and see what happens next fall during the Feast of Tabernacles.

The dear we saw, interestingly enough was on the beginning of the 7th day or the first evening of the 7th day (Erev Shabbat). We heard the owls on the evening of the first day of the week which was also the first day of Sukkot. See the month of Tishri. In reflection of the days we heard or saw the other creatures, they were noticeably in reverse order in comparison to Ya'kov's dream. Bill K. and I realized this during a phone conversation on October 23, 2001. About a week earlier than this day, Bill K. arose in the middle of the night impressed that the Ruach HaChodesh was revealing that the order of the animals not only represented years but also months. Please contact Bill K. for more details on his experience.

There is a parallel relationship to the months. We saw the dear on Erev Shabbot in the 3rd week of Tishri at the third-quarter moon. The "bat" corresponds to Halloween which is observed on the evening of Erev Shabbot in the 2nd week of Cheshvan at the full moon. Take a look at the comments section for the month of Cheshvan. I don't know what this may represent at this point other than a foreshadow or intermediate fulfillment, on a monthly scale, of a 7 year tribulation. If it is, it has serious implications for the coming months.

There are more revelation experiences that appear to indicate that Tishri 1 (September 18-19, 2001) started the beginning of months and a 7 year tribulation.

Ya'kov explained that he had been attempting to sight the first crescent moon for a few years and was never successful until Tishri 1 (evening of Sept 18, 2001). He explained how he traveled for hours to get to a high mountain top in order to avoid fog and clouds. Each time he attempted to sight the first crescent moon, Ya'kov explained he was unsuccessful. When Ya'kov shared this with me on the 8th day of Sukkot, I was strongly impressed that this was another important indicator that Tishri 1 (evening of Sept 18, 2001) may be the beginning of months and the start of the first year of a seven year tribulation. Ya'kov noted too that on the radio "the talk" has been repeatedly that "we have entered a new age." This was another "sign" that may be confirming all that we just discussed.

The revealing of our Everlasting Father's true Sabbath day may be another important indicator suggesting that we are entering a new age.  Bill K. and I received revelation by the Ruach HaChodesh (Holy Spirit) about Yahuah's true Sabbath day between Pesach (April 2001) and Shavuot (June 2001) this year. Bill K. and my family started keeping it beginning with the first Sabbath after Shavuot. To learn more about this, see the Ministry's Featured Bible study titled, "Why the Sabbath is Determined by Sighting of the First Crescent Moon."

Let's take a look at the chart below and get a basic understanding of the tribulation year and the corresponding Biblical year based on the discussion so far.  I added the "Approximate Gregorian Year" column later and noticed something interesting. The Gregorian year parallels the tribulation year.

Tishri 6000 -  Beyond  Yahshua's Kingdom

I currently have not identified a corresponding seven year peace-treaty that has been initiated or executed stretching to the year 6000. However, I'm impressed that other prophetic pointers may be indicating the beginning of a seven year tribulation that started on Tishri 1 (evening of September 18, 2001) as well as indicating a renewal of the beginning of months.

Does the 7 year peace treaty have to align with the seven years of tribulation? I heard of an initiation of some type of agreement on the eve of Yom Teruach (Biblical Lunar Calendar) by a member of Avodah Yeshiva during their Yom Teruach service. To date, there is no confirmation of an agreement. According to Jeremiah Ginsberg, the current peace treaty that is in affect is "the" peace treaty and it merely has to be confirmed or strengthened by the anti-messiah when he reveals himself.

In light of this it is interesting to note that in the Washington Post article titled, "Official: US Working on Peace Plan," by Karin Laub dated Friday October 12, 2000 (Tishri 24, 5993). The article states, "The Bush administration was to have unveiled the peace initiative in September before the U.N. General Assembly. However, that move was disrupted by the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the United States. The General Assembly was postponed in response to the attacks, which Washington has blamed on accused terrorist Osama bin Laden."

The article also noted that, "the U.S. plan would affirm the Palestinians' right to statehood..." It appears that the "covenant with death" was "nullified" again by our Everlasting Father, Yahuah, this year as a result of the World Trade Center collapse. Last year, the "covenant with death" was "nullified" by our Everlasting Father by the conflict on the Temple Mount on Erev Yom Teruach (September 29-30, 2000). If a 7 year tribulation started on Tishri 1, 5993 (September 18-19, 2001), the timing of the affirmation runs parallel to this period. No doubt, it is easy to recognize that the last "7 year peace treaty" stretching from May/September 1993 through May/September of 2000 was merely a foreshadow of the final 7 year period of the "covenant with death."

According to interpretation of Bible prophecy, that peace treaty is to be either breached or confirmed by the anti-Christ 3 1/2 years into the covenant. In consideration of this study, it appears that the interpretation that the covenant will be "confirmed" or strengthened by the anti-Christ is the correct interpretation.

Based on this study, the 3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation is to begin Aviv 1 in the year 5996. This is when Two Witnesses appear on the earth and the 144,000 are sealed with the Mark of God at the 6th Seal. My benchmark is that the Two Witnesses and 144,000 are to have a 3 1/2 year ministry. At the same time, the anti-Christ reveals himself and confirms or strengthens the current Mideast Peace Treaty.

At this point you should review the section on this page titled, "Current Events Paralleling Feast Days" in the right column and then return to read the remainder of this section.

Note that between last year and this year, on the traditional Jewish calendar there is an ELEVEN day difference on the corresponding Gregorian calendar between like Feast Days. For example last year, the first day of Sukkot was on October 14, 2000. This year the first day of Sukkot was on October 2, 2001. I don't know what this means at this point. In reflection of this we should take into consideration that the Rabbis thought last year started the "time of Jacob's troubles." This may suggest that the Rabbi's are one-year off because they are following a calculated Rabbinic calendar versus an observed Biblical calendar. According to this study, I'm impressed so far that the "time of Jacob's troubles" started this year on Tishri 1, 5993 (September 18-19, 2001).

By reviewing last year's lunar based calendar on Michael Rood's Biblical Hebrew Calendar, I count a TEN day difference between last year and this year between similar feast days on the corresponding solar-Gregorian calendar. For example, last year, Tishri 15 was on the day of October 14th. This year, Tishri 15 is on the day of October 3, 2001. It is very interesting that on the proper lunar-based calendar the difference is TEN days earlier this year for like feast days when cross-referencing to the solar-Gregorian calendar.

This observation impresses me as another indicator symbolizing we are in the year 5993 and the ten year deduction from Michael Rood's base year may be correct. Within a week or two after I started constructing the calendar and dating it ten years back from Michael Rood's year, a sister-in-Messiah, Nancy, while on a phone conversation, noted how in scripture there was a ten year delay in time as a mercy call from our Everlasting Father. She noted this before I ever mentioned anything about back-dating Michael's year. Was this incident the leading of the Ruach HaChodesh?

Another event that impressed me to deduct the ten years from Michael's base year was the result of another brother in Messiah who impressed me that Michael Rood may be ten years ahead based on a study from the Stewarton Bible School. This advise came within a week after a 10-month old Jewish baby was killed on the first day of Aviv (March 26-27, 2001) that started a week of major escalation in violence in Israel. Was this incident a leading of the Ruach HaChodesh?

After reviewing Ezekiel 38 & 39, I noticed two key verses that caught my attention because they relate to the timing of events presented. The verses are Ezekiel 39:9 and Ezekiel 39:12.

Ezekiel 39:12 speaks about a 7 month period where Israel will have to cleanse the land after the the proliferation of war resulting from events of Ezekiel 38 & 39. The cleansing of land is to be done in time for Passover in the land of Israel based on my understanding of scripture.  Because the months of Tishri through Aviv are seven full months, I'm impressed that the war of Ezekiel 38 & 39 has to start and end before the month of Tishri.

Is it possible that this war may begin on the 9th of Av, 5993 and continue through Tishri 1 of of 5994? The 9th of Av has been a significant historical date for Israel because the Temple was destroyed twice on this same day. The destruction of American coastal cities occur as a result of the Ezekiel 38 & 39 war. This could mean that the fulfillment of Revelation 18, 6:3-4, 12:4,12 can occur simultaneously on Tishri 1, 5994 of next year shocking the world and bringing an end to the Ezekiel 38 & 39 war. These events then would be the cause for an emergency United Nations Security Council meeting on the Day of Judgment, Tishri 10, 5994.

A UN Security Council meeting and judgment has been the pattern in the last two years after a major turning point around Yom Teruach each year. It was also a pattern when George Bush Senior held the presidency in the Gulf War in 1993. 1993 was also symbolic of being the first year of a foreshadow of a 7 year tribulation. George Bush Junior is now following the same pattern as his father in a year that impressed me as the first year of the final fulfillment of a 7 year tribulation. I learned from a brother in Messiah, Bill S., about a year and half ago that the 1993 Gulf War was a foreshadow of the Ezekiel 38 & 39 war. Will this following summer be the outbreak of the Ezekiel 38 & 39 war?

For more details that discuss current events and the Ezekiel 38 & 39 war, see the Ministry's Bible Study titled, "Ezekiel 38 & 39: How Will This War Unfold, What Can We Tell From Current Events About This Prophecy?" There are a few discrepancies between the understanding of how the Ezekiel 38 & 39 war may unfold that suggests that Revelation 18 may take place two years from now instead of this coming fall. Therefore keep watch.

Ezekiel 39:9 also presents an interesting problem because it suggests that Israel will "burn them (war instruments) with fire seven years." In consideration of this, if the 7 year tribulation started on Tishri 1, 5993 (September 18-19, 2001) then we find Israel will be burning war instruments 1 year into the 7th Millennium after Messiah's return if the Ezekiel 38 & 39 war takes place this summer.
 
Revelation 18 appears to take place after or during the 7th "Bowl" judgment suggesting that it is not completely fulfilled until the very end because the "Bowl" judgment occur after the "7 Trumpet" judgments which begin at the 7th Seal. If this part of the Book of Revelation is in sequential order, the final fulfillment of Revelation 18 or the destruction of the "Whore of Babylon" does not occur until late into the tribulation. I'm noting this possibility for your own information in case there is sequential order. Again, keep watch, some of this may be too early to tell.

In Henry Gruver's video, "I Saw Submarines Attack America" he mentions there were 42 presidents in Israel. Bill Clinton was the 42nd President of this country. The Israelites were carried off into captivity after the 42nd president. President Bush is now approaching the end of his first year. If Revelation 18 is fulfilled, President Bush will not have much of a country to run, making Bill Clinton the last president of what we know today as the United States.

Henry Gruver also envisioned Chinese troops invading Portland, Oregon around the month of February. I'm impressed that if our coastal cities are hit on the Feast of Trumpets this next year, a February invasion of foreign troops is possible around the month of February.

Lately I have been "seeing" the numbers 11 & 14. Before the September 11 attack on the World Trade Centers, I was "seeing" the number 11:11 quite often. This revelation of numbers pointed to the collapse of the World Trade Centers. On October 27th I learned from reviewing the video, "The Last Generation" from Jack Van Impe, that certain verses (TBD) with 11 & 14 in them point to the Ezekiel 38 & 39 war. Let's keep watch and prepare accordingly.
 
As you can see, much of my impression is a combination of revelation experience from the Ruach HaChodesh directly or from others in the Body of Messiah and general observation and study. We all make mistakes, therefore, keep watch, walk in obedience to Yahshua HaMaschiach (Christ), be lead by the Ruach HaChodesh (Holy Spirit) and don't draw any final conclusions. I present this information to you for the purpose of prayer, reflection, learning, discussion and the responsibility to "sound the trumpet" per Ezekiel 33:6-9.

Please stay tuned.....this study will be updated from time to time. You may also want to join the ministry's Yahoo! club for important notices. In order to print this study from a web browser, you need to set your margins to about .35 inches and reduce to 90%. If your printer does not have reduction capabilities, the pages can be printed in landscape and adjust the margins to your liking. At this point, I have also noticed key events starting at the beginning of months on the Biblical Calendar. I will be documenting them shortly.

Current Events
Paralleling Feast Days
Day of Tishri 1 - Yom Teruach
Day of Trumpets
(September 18-19, 2001)
Bill K. noted to me that 70,000 airlines jobs were lost on the Eve of Tishri 1. Thirty-thousand from Boeing, 20,000 from American Airlines and 20,000 from United Airlines. I checked the news the next day and sure enough there were 70,000 airlines jobs lost. Bill noted that this was the clipping of the wings from the "lion with eagles wings." Boeing is symbolic of American air power- both commercial and military. This year, after the attack on the towers, the whole airline industry declined sharply and "fell" economically. The poetic imagery is of a bird's wings being clipped.

The "lion with eagles wings" in Bible prophecy is symbolic of England (lion) and America (eagle). This site titled, "England and America, The Lion With Eagles Wings and the Great Seal of the United States," may be helpful to review although the visual presentation is weak. I'm impressed that this imagery of the clipping of the eagle's wings from the lion is the symbolic foreshadow of Dumitru Duduman's and Henry Gruver's visions of a nuclear attack on American coastal cities.

An attack of such magnitude is certain to remove the United States as a nation and key player in end-time events- in essence "clipping the wings of an eagle." I'm impressed this event is the actual fulfillment of clipping the eagle's wings (America) from the lion (England). 

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT A NUCLEAR ATTACK ON U.S. COASTAL CITIES MAY OCCUR ON THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS OF NEXT YEAR OR THE FOLLOWING YEAR?

It is very interesting to note that the symbolism of the clipping of the eagle's wings from the lion IMMEDIATELY follows after the collapse of the World Trade Center. I'm impressed that this may indicate the literal fulfillment for next fall. Let's keep watch because this is a serious sign. The collapse of World Trade Center was clearly an intermediate fulfillment of the one hour destruction of "Mystery Babylon The Great, The Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth" (Revelation 17:5, 18).

Scripture and current events clearly reveal that New York city is symbolic of Mystery Babylon the Great (Whore of Babylon). The towers fell and destruction came to the city on one hour. Now it is clear that the United States is the literal Mystery Babylon the Great in the Book of Revelation Chapter 17 & 18. Only a nuclear attack of the magnitude just noted can cause destruction of the Whore in one hour. (Note: the USA is also symbolic of a spiritual and physical remnant of the Lost Tribes of Israel, but that is another study.)

Take it very seriously that the United States may not exist as a nation after the fall Feast Days next year or the following year and prepare accordingly. Please review the Ministry's Featured Bible Study Titled, "Lessons In The Feast of Tabernacles: Preparing For The Tribulation."

At this time, I'm impressed that the nuclear annihilation of US coastal cities may be the final and literal fulfillment of the Second Seal in Revelation 6:3-4 as a result of a war in accordance with Ezekiel 38 & 39. At this time, I'm impressed that the collapse of the towers was the final fulfillment of the First Seal. The removal of the Second Seal is the one that "takes peace from the earth" (Rev 6:4). Let's keep watch.

Each Fall from Yom Teruach through the Feast of Tabernacles, the prophecies in scripture are being fulfilled and foreshadows are revealed. In consideration of Ya'kov's vision, I'm impressed that the vision of the strong, muscular dear may be a sign telling us we have only one year left before the final fulfillment of Revelation 12:12 where it is written, "Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."

Note that in Ya'kov's vision, the second animal is the bat that swoops down in front of his car. This is an imagery of demons or fallen angels cast out of heaven and coming down to earth. Last year at Sukkot, Bill K. and I reflected on this and Bill thought it was symbolic of Revelation 12:4 where it is written, "..his tail drew the third part of the starts of heaven, and did cast them to the earth:" This is an imagery of satan and his entourage of demons. If this is the case, the Ruach HaChodesh (Holy Spirit) may be letting us know through Ya'kov's vision that the bats are symbolic of the demons that will manifest on earth per Revelation 12:4,12. It should be no surprise to those of us who are "keeping watch" that this may be, in part, the breaking of the Second Seal, fulfilling, in part, Revelation 18.

When President Bush noted in his national speech, "The HOUR IS COMING," it impressed to me of a prophetic foreshadow of the very hour the Second Seal is broken and the Mystery Babylon is destroyed per Revelation 18. My brother in Messiah, Bill K. noted that it is a prophetic foreshadow of the time when satan and his entourage of demons are cast out of heaven and begin to possess the leaders of the world as well as the general population per Revelation 12:4,12.

This year's Sukkot, impressed me that it was a foreshadow of what is to come next year. We were encamped in the midst of a place that had a very demonic and idolatrous setting. As a matter of fact, in one club room, there was a guest scrap book with the year "1999" on it. My daughter alerted me to a picture drawn in this guest book and noted that "1999" is "6661." All the entries in the guest book were nice remarks about the campground, but the last entry was shocking. It was a pencil sketch of the World Trade Centers burning with fire and a small plane getting ready to crash into one of the towers. In the smoke of the fire, the person who drew the sketch drew an image of a demonic face.

The camp we stayed in no doubt had symbolism indicating that some in the staff and owners were involved in witchcraft, new age philosophy and idolatry. As I think about this, it reminds me of the entourage of demons cast out of heaven and taking possession over people.

Here is a news article that shows 100,000 US aviation jobs lost in one week. Unfortunately I don't have the article that shows the 70,000 aviation jobs lost on the 1st Eve of Yom Teruach (Biblical Lunar Calendar).

100,000 US Aviation jobs lost in a week
 
The first 70,000 job cuts happened on the 1st evening of Tishri 1 (evening of Sept 18) and it was in the news the following day. If you are on a traditional Jewish calendar, you will not recognize that this event occurred on the first day of Yom Teruach. On the traditional calendar the first day of Yom Teruach was on Sept 17-18, 2001. The event is missed by one day. You have to follow an observed lunar-based calendar this year. I'm impressed our Everlasting Father is now "weaning" His people off the traditional calculated Rabbinic calendar.

Remember last fall, the Temple mount conflict started on Erev Yom Teruach (Israeli time zone) per the traditional Jewish Calendar (September 29-30, 2000). Keep in mind that Israel is ahead by several hours when observing date and time references. Date and time in American media is relative to our own time zone. Note that this year, all major prophetic events parallel days in accordance with Yahuah's true calendar, the Biblical Calendar based on sighting of the first crescent moon and not according to the traditional Jewish calendar. This may be another indicator that we are entering a new age.

According to CNN.com and MSNBC.com, United Nations Security Council passed a resolution (JUDGED) for sweeping measures against terrorism (as it appears on the surface). This happened on the 2nd evening of Tishri 10 (evening of Sept 28). If you are on a traditional Jewish calendar, you will not recognize that this event occurred on Yom Kippur. On the traditional calendar Yom Kippur was on Sept 26-27, 2001. The event is missed by one day. You have to follow an observed lunar-based calendar this year.

Last year on the eve of the Day of Judgment (Israeli time zone) per the traditional Jewish Calendar (October 8-9, 2000), the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution against Israel (JUDGED) for it's reaction to the Temple Mount Conflict. Israel also "judged" it's neighboring countries.

Day of Tishri 15
First Day of Sukkot
(October 2-3, 2001)
This year, in order to recognize the current events paralleling the fall Feast Days, one has to understand that the land of Afghanistan has a population of millions of descendents of Israelite tribes. According to Bill K., most of those that are Pathans are of Israelite descendent (although Islamic in religion). Bill and I first came to this understanding after watching the video, "Quest for the Lost Tribes" by A&E earlier this year in April 2001 during Feast of Unleavened Bread.

Note in popular media, Afghanistan is sometimes described as the "Land of Exodus." This is symbolic when viewed in context of Bible scripture and current events. I'm not sure if the Talibans are of Israelite descendent. Bill is impressed they are not.

Last year, key current events that paralleled the Fall Feast Days involved Israel and the United States. This year, key current events that parallel the Fall Feast Days involve Afghanistan and the United States. With this in mind, let's observe.

On the first day of Sukkot, Tishri 15, 5993 ( October 2-3, 2001), the "largest outbreak in history of a highly contagious disease...was confirmed on Pakistan's frontier with Afghanistan," per an article titled, "Ebola-style killer virus sweeps Afghan border," by Tim Butcher in Quetta. The article is dated Thursday, October 4, 2001 by News.Telegraph.co.uk. I don't know of any other major story surrounding this day.

This happened on the first day of Sukkot, Tishri 15 (October 2-3, 2001). If you are on a traditional Jewish calendar, you will not recognize that this event occurred on the first day of Sukkot. On the traditional calendar the first day of Sukkot was on October 1-2, 2001. The event is missed by one day because the event happened specifically on October 3rd. You have to follow an observed lunar-based calendar this year. Also notice that events are paralleling the US time zones versus Israeli time zones.

Last year on the eve of the first day of Sukkot (Israeli time zone), October 13-14, 2001 (traditional Jewish calendar) the USS Cole was bombed. At the same time, each side, the Palestinians and Israel begin to accuse each other of declaring war in a major escalation of violence.

Day of Tishri 22
Last Day (8th Day) of Sukkot
(October 9-10, 2001)
Two key events occurred on the Last Day of Sukkot. The first is the Anthrax cases exposed on Wednesday, October 10 in Florida. Notice this parallels the E-Bola outbreak along the Pakistan and Afghanistan border. This confirms to me that that the E-bola outbreak for the first day of Sukkot was the key news event that was to parallel the feast day.

The second major news story for the last day of Sukkot is the U.S. launched "a night of bombings that witnesses said were the heaviest since the U.S. lead assault in Afghanistan..." The heaviest bombings took place on October 10, 2001 and have escalated since.

Last year on the eve of the last day of Sukkot on Israeli time zone (October 20-21, 2000) per the traditional Jewish calendar, a 48 hour cease-fire deadline failed to succeed. I believe this was one of the major cease-fire deadlines and may have been the one negotiated after the special meeting in Egypt (I don't remember the details at this point).

"But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; ... Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul."
