The Inner Earth and 1239

Image credit: The Big the One

Have you ever heard of Agartha and the inner earth theory? A while ago I ran across a possible piece of predictive programming that may show the date of an event involving aliens and or a race of “aliens” living in the inner earth. And in case you were not aware, the coming antichrist will be alien UFO connected.

The Inner Earth—Agartha

Do you believe in an inner earth? Some do, some don’t. The inner earth concept has been floating around for a while. There is the supposed Admiral Byrd inner earth encounter that some say is reported to be a fictional story. Here it is in case you have never read it.

The first public scientific evidence occurred in 1947 when Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd of the United States Navy flew directly to the North Pole and instead of going over the pole, actually entered the Inner Earth. In his diary with other witnesses, he tells of entering the hollow interior of the Earth, and traveling 1700 miles over mountains, lakes, rivers, green vegetation and animal life. He tells of seeing monstrous animals resembling the mammoth of antiquity moving through the underbrush. He eventually found cities and a thriving civilization.

His plane was finally greeted by flying machines, the type he had never seen before. They escorted him to a safe landing place and he was graciously greeted by emissaries from Agartha. After resting, he and his crew were taken to meet the Ruler of Agartha. They told him that he had been allowed to enter Agartha because of his high moral and ethical character. They went on to say that ever since the United States had dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they had been very concerned for their own safety and survival. They had decided that it was time to make greater contact with the outside world to make sure we didn't destroy this planet and their civilization with it. They had been allowed in for this express purpose, as a way of making contact with someone they trusted.

To make a long story short, Admiral Byrd and his crew, upon their visit, were guided by their hosts in their plane back to the outer world, and their lives were changed forever http://www.thenewearth.org/InnerEarth.html .  

Here a video about the supposed Admiral Byrd’s journey to the inner earth.

Whether the story is true or fictional is yet to be seen, but in 2017 there was an inner earth symposium in NYC in which the inner earth ambassador made an appearance, and it was stated that “This will be the first step in a public disclosure initiative from those from the inner earth—The Kingdom of Agartha.”

BTW, this symposium began on 8/25/2017, which was a date I had found beforehand encoded on the dollar bill. That encoding just so happened to use the key number of 1947.

I also found a hidden map on the dollar bill, and it leads to Agartha and the inner earth! You can read about it in this post; Agartha Inner Earth Disclosure Date Is Encoded On The Dollar Bill!

Below is an inner earth video that contains some recent inner earth information and encounters.

So, whether or not you choose to believe in an inner earth or not, is your choice. Regardless, I believe I have possibly run across a number that may correspond to a date of an inner earth or alien UFO event. And keep in mind, as already mentioned, the coming antichrist will have UFO alien connections. I also believe that the amazing syncs surrounding Super Bowl 59 point to the coming of the antichrist.

Here is the predictive programming that I believe is inner earth and or UFO alien related—it is the number 1239—and it was signaled in the movie the Santa Clause.

The Santa Clause

The above screenshots are from the 1994 movie, The Santa Clause, which was released on the esoteric date of 11/11/94. In the movie the numbers 1239 were prominently shown and were used on a keypad to gain access to Santa’s village at the North Pole—an inner earth village inhabited by elves.

Santa’s village of elves inside the earth is a clear signal to the inner earth and its demonic alien inhabitants.  Ask yourself why they would prominently display the number code 1239 to enter Santa’s inner earth village. The obvious answer: it is a signal.

So, assuming 1239 is a signal to an inner earth event and may be related to the antichrist I believe it would most likely take place in the last 7 years near the midpoint before he takes over the world on day number 1239 of the last 7 years. 

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. Rev 13:5

The latest prophecy data suggests that the last 7 years may have begun on 9/28/2021 and thus Armageddon would be on 9/30/2028.

So, based on that theory, day number 1239 would be 2/16-17/2025. Or it could be 1239 before 9/30/2028, which would be 5/10/2025.

Of course, if the last 7 years did not begin on 9/28/2021 then 2/16-17/2025 or 5/10/2025 will not be day #1239. And it is also possible that the 1239 that was shown means something else or nothing.

One thing is for sure the antichrist is on the way, do not be deceived, he will appear to be good and do good, but it will all be a deception. Also be wary of his mark of the beast financial system, of which all who participate will be damned to hell.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

The 2025 Prophecy Forecast

 

The latest prophecy data is suggesting that Armageddon will most likely take place in 2028.

If that is the case, then the midpoint will be in early 2025, and the Great Tribulation will begin on 4/19/2025, which necessitates that major prophetic events will take place in 2025.

Thus, if those hypotheses are correct, then here is what I foresee as possibilities for major prophetic events in 2025.

Major UFO Events: Knowing that the antichrist will have UFO alien connections, as we grow closer to the day of his arrival on the scene, aliens and UFOs are sure to make big appearances in spectacular ways. It would not surprise me to see a UFO on the lawn of the White House. 

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Cor 11:14 

The spectacular UFO events are sure to be intertwined with strong religious deceptions precipitating the great falling away spoken of in scripture and leading to a one world religion and worship of the false messiah/antichrist. 

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? Rev 13:14

 

Political Upheaval: Even though the Repubs have won, I do not think the Dems have given up, and I believe they may try to do something to subvert the coming political change. 

Consider this piece of intel; It has come to my attention that United States Congressman Jamie Raskin, (D-MD) has indicated that in January of 2025 Congress will act to disqualify President Trump from being President and then goes on to say that this will bring on civil war in the USA.

https://htrs-special.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Raskin-saying-Disqualify-Trump-Jan-6-2-25.mp4

(Note: By reporting this information to you I am in no way condoning or advocating for civil war, I am merely reporting what the Congressman said.) 

Since the Repubs control both the House and the Senate I do not see Congress taking action against a Repub President. However, it may be possible that since Trump has been charged with a felony the Dems may mount a legal challenge invalidating his presidency. Another possibility is that they will assassinate him under the guise of a lone wolf terrorist action. Will they “take out” President Trump, will civil war break out in the USA?

That is what I believe may be depicted in this I Pet Goat 2 scene--a Psalm 23/Donald signal indicating his death or removal, and then the flag being ripped indicating Civil war.

 

We know from scripture that a political leader will suffer a head wound, die and come back to life, at which time satan will enter his body/control him. So also look for that to happen to somebody on the political scene. 

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. Rev 13:3

 

A Financial Reset: We have been hearing about it for years—the off-world QFS banking system, NESARA, and GESARA. It is basically an all-digital financial system that will eventually include the mark of the beast—no one can buy or sell without it.

The implementation of this system will most likely follow an engineered worldwide hyperinflationary financial collapse. They are sure to make you “an offer that you cannot refuse.” But you must refuse, for all who take the mark will be condemned to hell.

 

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Rev 13:7

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Rev 14

 

Major War Events: Israel, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, NATO, North Korea, South Korea, China, the list goes on. I expect any day now to wake up to the news that nuclear bombs have gone off somewhere, including terrorist actions. This may be related to my dump truck/explosion dream.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Mt 24:6

Consider this piece of intel from The Coming Epiphany; The ultimate goal of WWIII is to usher in the New World Order with the antichrist as the ruler of the world. According to former Illuminati satanist, Doc Marquis, once World War III begins the antichrist will arise on the world scene in 13 weeks (91 days).

I believe that WW3 began on 2/22/2022 when Russia issued the decree to invade Ukraine. Integrating the 2 pieces of information and assuming what Doc Marquis revealed may be about the nuclear part of WW3, and in light of the 4/19/2025 antichrist hypothesis, then 1/17-18/2025 would be the dates to watch. 

Loss of National Sovereignty

Realizing that the devil and the antichrist will rule the world for 3.5 years necessitates the loss of sovereignty of the nations of the world in deference to a one world government.

Consider what King Charles said on Christmas day 2024; “our shared humanity transcends borders and ideologies” and “It is only by embracing a global framework—a true partnership of nations, as envisioned by the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset—that we can address the profound challenges before us. The time has come to face an undeniable truth: the concept of absolute sovereignty, as we have long understood it, must evolve—indeed, it must be dismantled—for the good of humankind.” 

Earth Events: Tsunamis, floods, earthquakes, drought, volcanoes, solar storms, meteorites, fires, etc. These are sure to increase in magnitude and frequency as we move further into the 70^th Week and are likely to disrupt the availability of food, infrastructure, etc.

BTW, we are watching 1/28/2025 for a major earthquake. 

And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Luke 21:11

 

Grid Down: No electricity, no internet, no phone service, no running water for periods of time. I do not think this will last for long because they will need electricity and the internet for the mark of the beast system. We have been hearing for many years about the three days of darkness, which some are saying will be all of those things going down for 3 days. So, that is a definite possibility for some time in 2025.

 

Population Reduction: By the time the midpoint gets here the pale green horse will be running its course and when he is finished ¼ of the world’s population will have died. This massive die off may be brought about by various means such as disease, war, famine, purposeful population reduction schemes, etc. 

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Rev 6:8

In regard to famine, I believe that one of the main messages of the three eclipses that crossed the USA was famine. I believe that is what the geometric points of intersection of the eclipse triangle pointed to.

Temple Events: Scripture tells us that the antichrist will perform the abomination of desolation in the temple. Efforts have been ongoing for years to rebuild the temple. So, expect to see the reestablishment of the Temple associated with the arrival of the antichrist. And it is quite possible that the antichrist could fly down the Temple with antigravity technology as part of his lying wonders.

The antichrist and the false prophet:

If 2025 is the year of the midpoint, then this infernal duo will "come onto the scene" in 2025. We know that the world will be given over to the antichrist to rule for 42 months and the false prophet will accompany him in his deceptive acts.

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 

4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 

9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 

10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 

12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 

13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 

14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Rev 13

There is data to support this hypothesis, it has been made known for many years that the "world teacher" who I surmise will be the false prophet will appear in 2025.

Also keep in mind that the antichrist, just like hitler, will present himself as a benevolent "savior of the world" type and the false prophet will foster his false image. So, to most people they will appear to be good.

Conclusions:

So, if Armageddon will be in 2028 and thus the midpoint in the spring of 2025, then that is what I foresee as possibly happening in 2025. 

Note: With the prophecy data I have at present that is how I see it happening, of course I could be wrong, and the midpoint could be in another yet future year.

Here is the chart for important prophetic dates if the Day of Atonement in 2028 is the date of Armageddon.

 

 

BTW, In I Pet Goat 2 there are 4 Chinese years represented; tiger (2022), rabbit (2023), dragon (2024), and a snake (2025).

The snake is the only one depicted as alive, the other 3 are static. This leads me to think that the major events depicted in the nefarious film will begin in the year of the snake that begins on 1/29/2025. And when it is 1/29 in the East it is 1/28 in the West. In case you are not aware the IPG2 film is all about the arrival of the antichrist.

In another scene in IPG2 a blooming lotus flower is shown with 25 flower petals, again possibly pointing to 2025.

Regardless of the exact year that the midpoint will occur, as the midpoint nears, the antichrist and the false prophet/teacher will come onto the scene, the two witnesses will appear, the abomination of desolation will occur, the mark will be instituted, and the great tribulation will begin. 

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)… 

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Mt 24:15, 24 

Christians will be rescued out of the Great Tribulation via the rapture after Seal 6 is opened. Then God’s wrath will be poured out upon the world culminating in Armageddon. 

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 

15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev 6 

The end of the world is getting one day closer every day, and most people are oblivious to how close it is. Are you prepared physically, mentally, and spiritually for the end of the world? 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Prophecy Alert: Alien Contact and the Great Falling Away are Imminent!

 

It looks like it is getting ready to happen any day—the great falling away is imminent! 

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; 2 Thes 2:3 

One of the events that will transpire before the great tribulation starts and the antichrist takes over the world will be the falling away spoken of in 2 Thes 2:3. Some have even termed this the Great Falling Away. 

The latest prophecy data is suggesting that the great tribulation will begin on4/19/2025, thus the great falling away would have to occur between now and then. 

My research has led me to believe that the great falling away will be precipitated by major demonic alien/UFO events, where these so-called aliens make themselves “real” or known to the world in some dramatic fashion. 

In the past I have posted many articles about this, here is one; Here Comes E.T.; Pastor Have you Warned your Flock? 

And in recently (Nov 14, 2024) I posted this forecast;

…Major UFO Events: Knowing that the antichrist will have UFO alien connections, as we grow closer to the day of his arrival on the scene aliens and UFOs are sure to make a big appearance in spectacular ways. It would not surprise me to see a UFO on the lawn of the White House. 

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Cor 11:14 

The spectacular UFO events are sure to be intertwined with strong religious deception precipitating the great falling away spoken of in scripture and leading to a one world religion and worship of the false messiah/antichrist. 

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? Rev 13:14

And look what popped up in the news today, an interview with Clif High whose predictive linguistics, which has been accurate on many things in the past, including the drones that have been in the news recently, led him to say this about the imminent alien events that are about to transpire on earth.

 

“…because as the aliens present themselves, all religions die.” 

Source: https://rumble.com/v5zp8st-clif-high-urgent-emergency-12.15.24-ufo-imminent-alien-contact.html 

Here is what I say; “…because as the aliens present themselves, the great falling away occurs.” 

3 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; 

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 

6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thes 2:3-12 

Do not be deceived, the so-called aliens are nothing more than a demonic deception. Don’t get caught in satan’s trap. 

This imminent alien deception falls right in line with the hypothesis that the last 7 years started in 2021, the great tribulation will start on 4/19/2025, and Armageddon will be on 9/30/2028.

BTW, the rapture will not be until after the opening of Seal 6.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

ET, Aliens and the antichrist; It’s on the Money

Where do you hide something that has the least chance of being found? You hide it somewhere so obvious that no one would ever think to look there, because it would be too obvious. That is exactly what they did; they hid a whole bunch of information on USA money. 

For example, did you know there is an encoded map on the dollar bill, and it is associated with the inner earth and UFOs? 

A civilization of alien origin in the inner earth, how about that! If there is a civilization in the inner earth I can tell you for sure that it is not of alien origin, but of satanic demonic origin. UFO aliens, E.T.s, E.D.s and ascended masters, as they call themselves, are demons and or their spawn. 

How fitting for the dollar bill as the trestle board for the destruction of the Old World Order and establishment of the new to contain a map that shows prominent places of esoteric importance, and associates the antichrist and his coming kingdom of deception with the inner earth and UFOs.

 

See The Dollar Code for all the details, but from what I have seen I am convinced that USA money contains encoded information, and it points to the coming new world order and its UFO ET alien associated leader—the antichrist.

In fact, the date of their inner earth symposium was encoded on the dollar bill.

Date Cipher #3: August 25, 2017 

As previously discussed; the map on the dollar bill leads to Agartha and the inner earth. After reading a news article concerning a public symposium about Agartha and the inner earth, that is set to begin on 8/25/2017, I decided to check and see if that date is encoded on the dollar bill, and lo and behold it is! 

The seventh date cipher was found by multiplying 19.47 by 12 plus .3853 (38 degrees and 53 minutes is the exact latitude of Washington, D.C.). This yields 241.1418, which corresponds to 241 yrs and 52 days. Adding that amount of time to 7/4/1776 brings us to 8/25/2017—the date of the Agartha inner earth symposium. 

19.47 x 12.3853 = 241.1418 = 241 years and 52 days

July 4, 1776 + 241 years and 52 days = August 25, 2017.

 

And as a confirmation of this theory, look what this researcher found on the new $100 dollar bill under a high power microscope.

That is definitely not by accident. What is the message that they are trying to communicate by putting an alien face on the $100 bill? I guess that would be up to speculation, but I know the UFO connected antichrist false messiah will one day make himself known to the world. And many in the world will fall for his deception, will bow down and take his mark. 

Here is another interesting tidbit—let’s take a look at a little history concerning the new hundred dollar bill. 

History: The newest $100 bill was announced on April 21, 2010, and, because of printing problems, did not enter circulation until nearly three and a half years later, on October 8, 2013. 

Now compare those dates with this chart.

 

Notice the possible 2020 start date of 10/8, which matches the release date of the new hundred on 10/8. And in the same line notice the possible rule of the antichrist date of 4/19/2024. (Note: accounting for time zones, inclusive and exclusive counting, and the 3 days, this might be a match.) 

Conclusion: 

How do you feel about them putting encoded satanic information on the money that you are carrying around? It says a lot about the world that we live in. Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus. But we first have to get through Seal 5. 

So, is the alien face on the new $100 a confirmation that demonic fake ET aliens are controlling the world and will eventually bring forth the antichrist as the world ruler? And is the October 8^th date a confirmation of the 2020 to 2027 end times timeline? Time will tell. 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36
