The Apalachee High School Shooting and the Coming Sudden Death of America in 2028

 




Prophetic researcher Steve Wilkin, whose work has been featured on this blog in the past, sent me some interesting information that I would like to pass onto you. The information points to 9/30/2028 as the date of the sudden destruction and end of America the Babylon.

Let’s start with the tragic Apalachee school shooting—may our prayers be with those who are suffering. Here is some of what he sent me.






Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude 1:7






Wow those are some amazing syncs and Steve firmly believes that they point to 9/30/2028 as the date of America’s final destruction.

Steve further explains this date conjecture in this article, which was linked in his email.

Here are a few tidbits from the article that involve the only two sudden death super bowl games, super bowl 51 and 58, which point to the “sudden death” destruction of America the Babylon on 9/30/2028.


      See prior article >  https://www.fivedoves.com/letters/feb2024/stevew218-2.htm  <

 Here is a new revelation of just how precisely these two SUPERBOWLS are encoded in the Bible.

Wow, that is pretty amazing. So, as you can see there is a lot of data pointing to 9/30/2028 as the date of America’s destruction and I further conjecture and have put forth previously that 2028 is also looking like it will be the year of Armageddon.

Let me explain; if you take a look at the Jewish calendar for the fall feasts of 2028 you will see that Rosh Hashanah begins on 9/20-21/2028, the Day of Atonement on 9/29-30/2028, and the Tabernacles on 10/4-5/2028.




My prophetic research has led me to believe that since the major redemptive events of Christ’s first coming aligned with and fulfilled the spring feasts of the Lord, that subsequently the major events of Christ’s second coming will also align with and fulfill the fall feasts of the Lord.

With this in mind, and not going into too much detail, I have aligned Armageddon with the second day of Rosh Hashanah on 9/22/28 and the first day of the Millennium on the first day of Tabernacles on 10/4-5/2028. And the day of Atonement—9/29-30/2028 is in-between those two dates. For a more detailed explanation, and what events will most likely align with the Day of Atonement, see The Coming Epiphany.

In light of this data, we therefore need to ponder and ask ourselves the question; is the Apalachee school shooting and the two sudden death super bowl football games a witness to 2028 as the year when Christ will return to the earth at Armageddon, and the year when America the Babylon will suffer her final destruction, and the year that the Millennial kingdom will begin?

If so, then other Biblical date parameters infer that the antichrist will take over the world in 2025 and the great tribulation will begin—Seal 5. The rapture will occur after Seal 6 has been opened and will be our rescue from the great tribulation.

BTW, there is other data to suggest that 2025 and 2028 are the prophetic years of importance.

2028 and Armageddon

Is 2028 “the end of the world,” will the antichrist arise in 2025? 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

The Prophetic Significance of the Feasts of the Lord

 

Image credit: The Feasts of Israel – Passover – Bible.org Blogs

Have you ever heard of the feast of Passover and its prophetic connection to the death of Jesus as the spotless Lamb of God? I am sure that you have. Did you know there are 6 other feasts of the Lord, and just as the feast of Passover had prophetic significance, so I believe the other feasts do also. 

In fact I believe that the spring feasts aligned with and were fulfilled by major prophetic events at the First Coming of the Lord Jesus and thus I believe the fall feasts will align with and will be fulfilled by major prophetic events involving the 70th Week and Second Coming of the Lord. 

Therefore to help us establish a chronology of the 70th week we need take a more in depth look at the feasts of the Lord and their prophetic significance and implications. We will first examine the meaning of the word feast, which alludes to their significance. 

The Hebrew word translated ‘feasts’ means appointed times. The idea is that the sequence and timing of each of these feasts have been carefully orchestrated by God himself. Each is part of a comprehensive whole. Collectively, they tell a story. These feasts are also called ‘holy convocations’; that is they are intended to be times of meeting between God and man for ‘holy purposes.’[1] 

God instituted seven yearly feasts for the Israelites to observe. There were four spring feasts and three fall feasts. The feasts, in calendar order with their associated Hebrew dates, are:

 

Spring Feasts (March to June) 

1. The Feast of Passover—14 Nisan

2. The Feast of Unleavened Bread. 15 – 21—Nisan

3. The Feast of First Fruits—16 Nisan

4. The Feast of Weeks—50 days after first fruits.

 

Fall Feasts (September to October) 

5. The Feast of Trumpets—1,2 Tishri

6. The Day of Atonement—10 Tishri

7. The Feast of Tabernacles—15 – 21 Tishri

 

Not only are these feasts significant from a relationship standpoint between God and man, but they also have prophetic implications: 

These seven feasts typify the sequence, timing, and significance of the major events of the Lord’s redemptive career. They commence at Calvary where Jesus voluntarily gave Himself for the sins of the world (Passover), and climax at the establishment of the messianic Kingdom at the Messiah’s Second Coming...[2] 

Paul alluded to this prophetic connection in Colossians 2:16,17 when he said. 

16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 

Let’s expound upon this thought and see exactly how each feast points to a prophetic event. Without going into too much detail, we will summarize the prophetic implication of each feast. For a more thorough understanding of the feasts of the Lord, I would recommend Kevin Howard and Marvin Rosenthal’s excellent book The Feasts of the Lord. 

1. The Feast of Passover points to Christ as the spotless Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, and was fulfilled when Christ died on the cross for our sins on Passover on Friday Nisan 14, 33 A.D. 

2. The Feast of Unleavened Bread shows that Christ’s sinless body would not undergo decay, and was fulfilled when Christ’s body did not decay while in the grave. 

3. The Feast of First Fruits shows that Christ had power over death and was the first fruit of the resurrection and was fulfilled when Christ rose from the dead on the day of the feast of first fruits on Sunday Nisan 16, 33 A.D. 

4. The Feast of Weeks alludes to the pouring out of the Holy Spirit upon the initiation of the historical church period and was fulfilled on Pentecost on Sivan 6, 33 A.D. 

It is clearly evident that the first four feasts were fulfilled at the time of Christ’s First Coming and thus we can reason that the last 3 feasts will be fulfilled in events surrounding Christ’s Second Coming. Let’s examine the three remaining feasts, which occur in the fall, and see how they may be fulfilled. 

The fifth feast, the Feast of Trumpets, or Rosh Hashanah, is practiced as a two-day feast. 

Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: ראש השנה‎, literally "head [of] the year") is the Jewish New Year. The Biblical name for this holiday is called Yom Teruah (Hebrew: יום תרועה‎, literally "day [of] shouting/raising a noise") or the Feast of Trumpets… It is the first of the High Holy Days or Yamim Nora'im ("Days of Awe")…Rosh Hashanah is a two-day celebration, which begins on the first day of Tishrei.[3] 

I believe that since it is a two-day feast that it may have two separate and different fulfillments, one on the first day and one on the second.  One of the events I believe this feast may align with, though I am not dogmatic about this, is the rapture. The trump that is referred to at Christ’s coming to the clouds at the rapture may be a reference to the trumpet blown at this feast. 

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Matt. 24:30–31) 

The shofar blown on Rosh Hashanah is known as the last trump, which the apostle Paul mentioned in I Thes 4:16-17 and I Cor 15:52 in connection with the rapture. 

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. 

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

This last trump of God will signal the beginning of the Day of the Lord in which the righteous will be delivered and the wicked will be judged. In fact, ancient Jewish tradition held that the resurrection of the righteous dead would occur on Rosh Hashanah with the blowing of the shofar (trumpet), which is why a shofar was engraved on Jewish gravestones. These two major occurrences signaled by the blowing of the trumpet are consistent with the historical use of the trumpet in Israel as explained by Marvin Rosenthal: 

The blowing of the trumpet in ancient Israel had two primary functions. The first was to call a solemn assembly; that is, when the children of Israel were to be summoned to God’s presence, the trumpet was blown (Ex 19:13,17,19; Num 10:2). And second, when Israel, under divine direction, was to go to war, the trumpet was to be blown (Num 10:9; Jud 7; Jer. 4:19-21).[4] 

Kevin Howard has this to say about the judgment aspect of the Feast of Trumpets 

Rosh Hashanah was often referred to as Yom Ha-Din (“Judgment Day”) by rabbis since it began the Days of Awe, the traditional time of God’s judgment.[5] 

The prophet Zechariah tells of the judgment that will transpire when the trumpet is blown: “And the Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south” (Zech 9:14). The benediction given for the last 2,000 years during synagogue services on Rosh Hashanah also speaks of the trumpet being blown at Rosh Hashanah at the Lord’s return, as explained by Kevin Howard: 

The benediction also speaks of the end of days when God will again reveal Himself through fire and the sounding of the shofar as He sends the Messiah: ‘The Lord shall appear over them; his arrow shall go forth like lightning. The Lord shall sound the shofar and march amid the storms of the south. (cf Zech 9:14)[6] 

Another interesting fact about the Feast of Trumpets that correlates it to the rapture is that, in the ancient observance of the feast, no one knew the exact start of the feast. It always started on the first day of the Jewish year, which is the first day of the month of Tishri, but no one knew the exact day when a Hebrew month started. 

The Hebrew months start by the sighting of the new moon, and it was the job of the Sanhedrin to announce the beginning of the month when the new moon was observed. Of course, one could calculate an approximate time by counting 29.5 days since the last new moon, but it did not officially start until the Sanhedrin observed the crescent moon, and then declared it so. 

This correlates beautifully with the truth that no one knows the exact time of Christ’s return. Some even feel that Christ’s own words, “No one knows the day or hour” is a direct reference to this feast for this reason. In Jewish tradition Rosh Hashanah is also known as Kiddushin/Nesu'in or the wedding ceremony of the Messiah.[7] 

In fact the practices involving the ancient Jewish wedding ceremony closely parallel the Messiah’s redemptive work. Pointing to the fact that the bridegroom/Christ will come for his bride—the church—at the rapture.[8] Thus these facts are a strong indication that this feast may be fulfilled at the rapture and also since it has aspects of judgment, possibly at another event, namely Armageddon. 

Thus in conclusion; in regards to the prophetic significance of the 2 day feast of Rosh Hashanah. Since the feast involves aspects of deliverance and judgment and has rapture associations. I believe it is possible that this feast may align with the rapture of some unknown year, and the return of Jesus to the earth at Armageddon. 

The Feast of Trumpets also starts the time period known as the Days of Awe. The Days of Awe are a 10-day period between Rosh Hashanah and the Day of Atonement in which observant Jews are to engage in a solemn time of self-examination. Tradition holds that these days are the last chance to repent before God’s judgment is finalized.[9] 

Prophetically, I believe these days may be fulfilled when after the last trumpet of the Feast of Trumpets, which calls for a solemn assembly; Israel will assemble for seven days and will receive Christ as their savior on the eighth day, which will be the Day of Atonement. This may happen directly after the rapture when Israel and all the world see Jesus in the sky. 

Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement is the most solemn and important holy day of the Jewish calendar. In the Old Testament, the Day of Atonement was the day the High Priest made an atoning sacrifice for the sins of the people. This act of atonement brought reconciliation between the people and God.[10] 

I believe this feast will align with the time after Israel repents and officially recognizes Christ as Messiah and will be saved. And when will this occur? Most likely after Israel flees into the wilderness after the abomination of desolation and after the rapture. 

The final feast is the Feast of Tabernacles and is associated with Israel’s time in the wilderness. 

Sukkot, Succot or Sukkos, Feast of Booths, Feast of Tabernacles is a week-long biblical Jewish holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei… The sukkah is intended as a reminiscence of the type of fragile dwellings in which the Israelites dwelt during their 40 years of travel in the desert after the Exodus from slavery in Egypt. [11] 

I believe this feast will align with the time when Israel will once again find themselves in the wilderness after fleeing the antichrist. And once again God will watch over and provide for them for 3.5 years.

 

Putting It All Together 

I view the prophetic implications of the fall feasts as follows: 

1. The Feast of Trumpets is practiced as a two-day feast that alludes to the return of Christ during the event known as “The Day of the Lord” in which the righteous will be raptured and the wicked will be judged. I believe this feast will start to be fulfilled at the beginning of the Day of the Lord when Christ comes to the clouds for His bride and will be totally fulfilled after God’s enemies will be vanquished at the battle of Armageddon and Jesus takes His throne in Jerusalem. 

Note: I am not dogmatic about the rapture aligning with Rosh Hashanah—I see other possibilities such as Pentecost, the day of Ascension, or at no feast at all. 

2. The Day of Atonement speaks of the shed blood of Christ and the substitutionary work it accomplishes in covering our sins and restoring us to fellowship with God. This feast will be fulfilled after Israel repents and recognizes Christ as Messiah and are saved on the Day of Atonement. 

3. The Feast of Tabernacles is a seven-day celebration in which the Israelites dwell in “booths” or shacks reminiscent of their journeying in the wilderness. This feast will be fulfilled when Israel will once again find themselves in the wilderness after they flee the antichrist after the abomination of desolation where God will protect and provide for them for 3.5 years. This feast may also align with the beginning of the Millennium in which God will dwell with man which starts with the marriage supper of the lamb. 

In summary this is the way I see it happening; 

Feast of Trumpets (1st day): Rapture. 

Feast of Trumpets (2nd day, years later): Armageddon.

Day of Atonement: Ethnic Israel will recognize Christ as Messiah and be saved. 

Feast of Tabernacles: Israel in the wilderness/beginning of the Millennium. 

I am certain that the fall feasts will have prophetic significance, whether or not I have all the details and nuances correct, I do not know. As the scriptures say, we see through a glass darkly. One thing is for sure, it is going to be fascinating to see how all this works out. 

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

Recalculating the End of Days…I Wonder If This Is It!?

 


Several years ago I sat down and attempted to put all of the internal and external timing parameters associated with the last 7 years in an easy to understand chart, which I was able to come up with, and included in The Coming Epiphany. 

In that chart, pictured below (click to enlarge), I used 2019 as an example year of how the calculations would come out. Note: when I made the chart I was not saying 2019 was the year, it was an example year, but I did pick 2019 because out of all the years I thought it was the most likely. Here is that chart. (click to enlarge)

 


As you can see the following parameters, which are explained in The Coming Epiphany, are displayed on the chart.

 

2520 days in the last 7 years

1260 days rule of the antichrist

1260 days ministry of 2 witnesses

1290 days from A of D till “the end”

1335 days from A of D till “blessed”

 

Using those parameters and realizing that Jesus fulfilled the spring feasts with His first coming, and thus I firmly believe He will fulfill the fall feasts with His second coming, and that Rosh Hashanah will be fulfilled when Jesus returns to the earth at Armageddon. I thus calculated the start date of 10/19/19 by subtracting 2519 days from Rosh Hashanah. 

So, the chart above was based on those parameters and logic. However in response to a comment left by a reader I decided to do a little recalculating. Here is what I came up with. (click to enlarge)

 



As you can see the start date has been backed up 30 days, all the parameters are fulfilled, the end of the 2520 days of the last 7 years and the end of the ministry of the two witnesses aligns with the beginning of the Bowl judgments, the end of the antichrist’s reign of 1260 days aligns with Armageddon at Rosh Hashanah, and the end of the 1335 days aligns with the feast of Tabernacles and the beginning of the Millennium. 

In comparing the two charts, both align Armageddon with Rosh Hashanah. The main difference is that the first chart has the last 7 years ending at Armageddon and the second chart has the last 7 years ending at the beginning of the bowl judgments. Another difference is that the first chart has the feast of Tabernacles not aligning with any ending parameter, whereas the second chart has the feast of Tabernacles aligning with the end of the 1335 days, which Daniel was told that blessed is the person that makes it to day 1335, which I believe is a reference to the Millennium. 

I believe both scenarios are possible, but if I had to pick one I would pick the second chart, the one that begins with 9/19/19, because it aligns Armageddon with Rosh Hashanah and aligns the feast of tabernacles with the end of the 1335 days. Thus it better aligns the fall feasts with the time parameters. 

Further; taking into account the data from the 14 month pole shift post, we presented a hypothesis of 2018 and 2019 as possible start years for the last 7 years. 

If we apply the same parameters for a 2018 start date, that would put the abomination of desolation at 2/10/22 for the first chart. With each passing day that seems a less likely alternative, leaving 2019 as a year of high interest for the start of the last 7 years. 

Here is another little tidbit, if you plug 666 into the dollar code formula the following date is obtained. 

12.666 x 19.47 = 246.6 = 246 years, 222 days. 

July 4, 1776 + 246 years, 222 days = February 11, 2023 

That date is between the calculated A of D date and the calculated beginning of the ministry of the two witnesses date and thus could be the date of a major antichrist event. And here is another little tidbit; 2023 = 223 = a backwards 322.

 

Conclusion: 

Did the last 7 years start in 2019 and if so, was it September 19th or October 19th? Has Seal one already been opened, are Seals 2 to 4, which consist of WW3, financial collapse, and the death of one fourth the world’s population, imminent within the next year? 

As always time will tell, but regardless of when the end times get here, you need to be prepared because the rapture will not happen until after Seal 6 is opened. 

BTW; regardless of the start year, which chart do you vote for? 

Note: I am not predicting the date of the end of the world. The year 2019 is presented as an example of how an end times chronology would look. Also remember that when we know for sure that the last 7 years has started, we will then know exactly when it ends. And at that time, the only thing we will not know is when the rapture will take place. We do know that it will occur at the opening of Seal 6, but we will not know that date until it happens. 

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

Comet Elenin and the Rapture

Photo: biblecodes.org

Amidst the rhetoric concerning comet Elenin is the idea that the rapture will coincide with her arrival this fall. I have read many such claims at many places on the net that align certain spiritual occurrences with her arrival and thus conclude the rapture may occur during these times. Will the rapture happen this fall? NO

How do I know because of what God's word tells us. First let's briefly describe what happens at the rapture; Christ comes to the clouds for all the world to see, Christians are raptured and then men panic. Anywhere in Revelation that you find a scenario like that? How about Revelation 6.

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:


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

So Jesus appears, and everybody hides, and then God's wrath starts. That is a description of the rapture and it happens after the 6th seal is opened.

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;


13And 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.


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

So if the rapture happens after the sixth seal is opened then we have to see seal 1 to 5 before the rapture can occur. Seal 5 is the worldwide persecution of Jews and Christians by the antichrist, which includes no buying or selling without the mark. That will not happen until after the abomination of desolation. We are not at that point yet so therefore the rapture cannot occur yet.

Want some confirmation? Look at what God told the Thessalonians who were afraid that the rapture was at hand or that they had missed it;

1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,


2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.


3Let 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;


4Who 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.

It plainly states that the day of the Lord and the rapture will not come until the falling away occurs, and the antichrist performs the abomination of desolation. So in light of scripture it is too early in the prophetic timeline for the rapture. After we see the antichrist arise and the abomination of desolation, then look up for your redemption draweth nigh!
