I was sure it had to begin, or be manifest in January specifically.
Because of a modern day decree to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem in January 1969.
Isaac Newton was talking about it.
The "compass of a Jubilee".
If the "darkened sun" of January 2019 was the equivalent of 27AD, when Jesus read from the Isaiah 61 scroll to begin His ministry, January 2020 ended the declaration of the YEAR of the Lord's favor in our time. This was the secondary application of Daniel 9, 62 and 7 weeks until Messiah the Prince.
It seems peculiar in 27AD Jesus read: "to proclaim freedom for the captives", and now so many prisons are releasing inmates in 2020 because of the corona virus spread. I count 27 AD to be the end of 62 and 7 weeks. I count January 2019 to be the end of 62 and 7 weeks also from the two modern day decrees.
This will be confusing to the SDAs.
But I'm very sure that this is it.
I'm just now trying to figure out will it be this year, or the summer of 2022. Jesus said "behold I come quickly. So I think that means fast. I have to default to this year.
Just what you're saying, I was just telling people on an atheist forum.
Peace and safety time.
They blocked my IP address.
Because I think the composite beast already has risen from the sea of many peoples, and has already opened it's mouth to blaspheme God, I think the 42 months of Revelation 13 are completed.
We are at the first sign that the dragon is given the power to do on behalf of, or in the presence of, the composite beast. These signs will be the catalyst for the rest of the end time narrative. It is because of the signs that the devil is given the power to do on behalf of the first beast.
I imagine a couple of scenarios. I don't know which is right. We should find out as we get closer, maybe by Easter weekend we'll know more.
This super virus needs to culminate, to finish what it's supposed to do. But whether it ends, or reaches some sort of crescendo, it could wind up, it should wind up, with people saying "peace and safety".
And right when they think it's over, the second sign that the dragon is given the power to do falls from the sky. He will even CAUSE fire to fall from heaven in the full view of men. Sudden destruction and they will not escape. Just like on the day that Lot left out from Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
When the wold's survivors see how this has taken place, they will KNOW that the God of the Bible is back.
Watch for the Pope to give a speech.
He'll probably say that we need to do something to appease, or to placate God. Because of these signs he will deceive those who dwell on the face of the earth. It wouldn't work without the signs.
Whatever the Pope says for us to do at that point will amount to the mark of the beast.
Whatever the Pope says to do, the people will do, because they're going to be scared to death.
These are just my back of the envelope guesstimates, which will change in a couple weeks.
With everything else going on in real time right now, it's almost too spooky to talk about.
Be silent before the Lord,
Be silent before the Day of the Lord.
I was just digging out my old Carpenter LP's.
I bet she'll have the same voice when we meet her in New Jerusalem.
Time for a doom break.
