What if They Missed the Beginning; Is the First Seal of Revelation Already Open?

 

Are we in the end times—the last 7 years—is Seal 1 opened, is the rider on the white horse going forth conquering? Those are very important questions. And if the answers to those questions are yes, then the implications are staggering. 

Now before you shut me down and reject those questions as foolish notions, please consider this logic. What if the rapture does not occur until sometime within the last 7 years, then it would be possible for us to be in the last 7 years, and it could also be possible that Seal 1 has been opened? 

As for the rapture occurring during and not before the last 7 years, that is exactly what God’s Word tells us about the rapture—that the rapture will occur sometime during the last 7 years. More precisely the rapture will occur during the last 7 years after the opening of the sixth seal. 

Here is how we know this; God tells us that the rapture is part of the Day of the Lord event. 

1 Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 

2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit, or a message, or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 2 Thes 2:1,2 

God’s Word also tells us that the Day of the Lord begins after the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood. 

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: Acts 2:20 

The sun is darkened, and the moon is turned to blood after the opening of Seal 6. 

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; Rom 6:12

 

Sixth seal opened--moon to blood, sun darkened--day of the Lord--rapture

Therefore, sound logic dictates that the rapture occurs after the opening of the sixth seal, which is why Jesus is seen in the sky after the opening of Seal 6—the rapture occurred and God’s wrath begins.

 

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 6:15-17 

So, the fact that the rapture does not occur until after the opening of Seal 6 infers that the last 7 years will begin without the rapture occurring. 

And what event begins the last 7 years? Most Bible scholars say that the peace treaty with the many is what begins the last 7 years. I agree and that is exactly what happened on 10/13/2025—the peace treaty with the many was signed and the last 7 years began--did they miss it?

 

And as a confirmation that the 10/13/2025 treaty was the peace treaty of the Dan 9:27 prophecy, the treaty was signed exactly 2520 days—7 prophetic years—before Rosh Hashanah in 2032, which is exactly what needs to occur.

 

The reason that is significant is because major prophetic events at the first coming of the Lord Jesus occurred on the exact dates of Spring Jewish feasts and thus major prophetic events at the second coming of Jesus will occur on the exact dates of the Jewish fall feasts—Armageddon on Rosh Hashanah. 

 

Thus, I contend that we are in the last 7 years now! Let’s consider the second question, is Seal 1 opened, is the rider on the white horse going forth conquering? 

1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 

2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. Rev 6:1,2 

Is a force going forth now that will eventually conquer the world? Consider what has happened on the financial and war front since this watch was issued; Celestial Warning: The Sun is Going Through the Golden Gate on 12/21/2025, Look Out Below! 

We had the ‘Monday Massacre’ on the day after the Sun went through the golden gate. These effects are continuing to reverberate through the financial system. Many analysts are stating that we are close to a ‘force majeure’ in the silver markets, which would have severe consequences to the world's financial system. 

And consider what has transpired on the war front since the sun went through the golden gate—war and rumors of war. 

Russia hands to U.S. what it says is proof of attempted Ukrainian strike on Putin residence. 

Trump’s Attack on Venezuela Could Change the World. Here’s How. 

Trump Says US Struck ISIS in Nigeria in ‘Powerful’ Attack on Christmas 

And what might be coming in the near future on the war front? 

Netanyahu approves Israeli attack plan on Iran 

Trump on Air Force One: Cuba, Mexico, Colombia, Iran 

If one realizes that by design the antichrist will come onto the scene and take over the world after the world is in utter ruins from financial problems, wars, social unrest, famine, and pandemics, one could conclude that we may indeed now be seeing the rider on the white horse going forth conquering, and to conquer, which will set the stage for the antichrist. 

Are we in the end times—the last 7 years—is Seal 1 opened, is the rider on the white horse going forth conquering? I believe the answer to both those questions is yes. And as I said the implications are staggering. 

Why do I spend all this time writing? Is it to sell books? I make about $100 to $200 a year from book sales. It doesn’t even cover my website expenses. So, that is not the reason—the reason I spend a lot of time writing is because I want to help people not be caught unawares when the major prophetic events of the end times come upon us. 

And the staggering implications of the information above are that you need to prepare for what is coming. Realize that all your digital assets; bank accounts, retirement accounts, etc. will eventually be transferred to the mark of the beast system. And since taking the mark will land a person in hell, all digital assets will become worthless to a Christian or anyone else who refuses the mark. 

The only assets that you could possibly retain are physical assets such as, gold, silver, food, real estate, etc. Have you prepared for living without out the ability to buy or sell? That is what is coming and Christians will not be raptured until after the antichrist takes over the world and the mark is instituted. Like I said the implications are staggering.

Personal note: That virus hit me hard, still not over it, prayers appreciated. 

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 2018 Economist Is Still in Play! 53 Icons Have Been Fulfilled!

Events on the world stage continue to occur in accordance with the esoteric decoding of the 2018 Economist cover! So far at least 51 and possibly 53 events have occurred in accordance with the sequence on the cover.

The decoding of icons 46 to 53 will be explained in this post. In case you are not aware, before the new decodings are presented, here is an excerpt from the first post explaining the rationale behind the decodings.

You have all probably seen the infamous 2018 cover with its cryptic images. I think that God may have allowed me to decipher its meaning…

There are 63 icons on the cover which I believe correspond to 63 weeks of time or 1 year and 11 weeks, and that each icon corresponds to an event symbolized with that icon. But where do we start and how do we proceed to find the correct sequence of events? That was a question that I pondered.

I did a little searching and was led to a French website that shows how the cover is most likely a representation of a game called the Game of the Goose, and he believes the cover symbolizes a series of events that will unfold to help usher in the New World Order. Here are a few snippets;

If the world seems regularly subjected to cycles of renewal, there is one thing of which one is sure, it is that the events orchestrated by the occult power such as the algorithms of a program, validate at each stage the close advent of a new world. Placed under the sign of the Game and the alchemical quest, 2018 could be the last level of a long initiatory journey towards the final realization, the New World Order…

The illustration of "The World in 2018" thus has 63 icons, but there is only one game with 63 squares, it is the Game of the Goose, symbol of the initiatory course, collection of the main hieroglyphs of the Great Alchemical Work, and therefore here various objects of the journey of the world towards his new order. http://decodageetperspective.blogspot.com/2018/01/2018-la-fin-du-jeu.html

He makes the case that the cover starts with the man with the cane and proceeds in a spiral type movement and ends with the thistle that he believes represents the “Goose” and the arrival of the New World Order. However I did not see events following the progression of his theory. I was also not so sure about the Goose/Thistle analogy.

Knowing that the occult like to do things backwards I theorized that maybe the events will start with the thistle and work their way backward to the man on the journey as indicated in the image below.

That is the background information here are the decodings for icons 46-53.

#46 The Telescope

 

 
There were a lot of space/telescope events that have happened recently that caught my eye.

2/6/19: A photo taken by the ExoMars orbiter presents a stunning view of the ancient river delta, proving that water once flowed freely over the surface of the Red Planet, scientists say. https://www.rt.com/news/450772-mars-image-river-water/

2/7/19: The Kepler Space Telescope found thousands of planets around other stars by documenting their telltale flickers before it ran out of fuel last fall — and a newly released image shows the spacecraft's full field of view for the last time. https://www.space.com/43256-kepler-space-telescope-last-light-photo.html

2/13/19: Astronomers Spot a Pudgy Dragon in the Orion Nebula https://www.insidescience.org/news/astronomers-spot-pudgy-dragon-orion-nebula
 

#47 The Building

 

This image has been very difficult to decode. I believe the building represents a typical or generic government building and thus would also represent government actions. Here is a very important religious/governmental action that occurred on 2/4/19 that relates to the coming New World Order.

The pope and the grand imam of al-Azhar have signed a historic declaration of fraternity, calling for peace between nations, religions and races, in front of a global audience of religious leaders from Christianity, Islam, Judaism and other faiths.
http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/the-pope-and-islams-most-important-imam-just-signed-a-covenant-that-pushes-us-much-closer-to-a-one-world-religion

Let me mention that the Vatican and many Muslim mosques feature a dome.

#48 The Oil Derrick

 

This was another one that was difficult to decode. It could involve what is going on in Venezuela, which some say centers around oil. Or is could be about America’s energy boom that has been in the news lately.

The United States recently surpassed Russia to become the world’s top oil producer, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

That milestone isn’t just an economic success story. It’s a foreign-policy victory as well. America’s growing energy dominance is already strengthening our hand in negotiations with unfriendly regimes.

Nothing Seems to Be Stopping America's Oil Growth Engine America's oil production continued its unrelenting ascension last month, rising another 90,000 barrels per day…

 

#49 The Umbrella
 

Another tough one to decode; could be the infamous New Jersey rain tax that was just passed and is due to be signed by the Governor.

Or it could deal with the nuclear umbrella and the INF treaty that was just officially withdrawn from after which Russia, France, and the US just did a test launch of nuclear capable missiles.

#50 Africa

 

2/10/19: An African summit was held that discussed free movement through a common African passport. Again another step toward a New World Order where borders are abolished.

#51 Migrant Boat
 

Another tough one to decode but in the African summit mentioned above one of its focus points was migration. As you may know many of the boat migrants in the last few years have been from Africa.

It was also reported that a boat full of migrants was rescued from the English Channel on 2/19/19.

https://www.lintelligencer.com/34-migrants-rescued-from-one-boat-in-channel-reports-1872-2019/
 

#52 India

 

This definitely represents India and most likely the prime minister of India who is pictured below. (HT Chris and Ronda)

Recently terrorists from Pakistan bombed Indian soldiers. India has vowed retaliation. So this icon may yet be fulfilled with a future military action by India against Pakistan.
 

#53 The Meteor/Asteroid

2/18/19: The hexagon shape suggests something coming from space that was made and may yet be fulfilled. Or this may have been fulfilled with the occulting of the Dog Star Sirius by an asteroid as detailed in a comment left by Olli quoted below.

it was reported 4 days ago that Sirius, the 'Dog Star', will be briefly occulted Monday (2/18/2019) by an asteroid hurtling around the Sun.

In this video, user "julian t" speaks about this rare event.

THE FINAL DAYS: AQUARIUS FEBRUARY 18/19 SUPER SNOW MOON, SIRIUS (DOG STAR) & CHI VIRGINIS GO DARK.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjpZ_QrJKm4

 
Cutting Edge Ministries wrote an article several years ago from the connection between Sirius and America.

OUR ORIGINAL AMERICAN MASONIC FOREFATHERS CONTINUALLY DEDICATED AMERICA TO SATAN FROM 1791 TO THE LATE 1890'S! Part 1

http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1487.cfm

"In a book released in 1999, written by a noted Astrologer and heartily endorsed by the 33 Degree Supreme Commander of The Supreme Council, Southern Jurisdiction, we read that the entire nation and its key government buildings were dedicated to the Dog Star Sirius, which in occult lore is Satan."

So, it's a very bad sign for America!

If you have any thoughts or different interpretations about any of the above, comment below. Here is what is coming up.

#54 A Sad/Sick Emoji

 

  
 
#55 The Weather

 

#56 The Cheshire Cat

Will it be the journey of the beginning of the end times? Will it be the introduction of the false messiah/antichrist? Or will it be something altogether different? We watch and wait.
