SIGNS IN THE
HEAVENS
Astronomical
Signs by Dr. Stephen Jones May
26, 2017
On August 21, 2017 the USA is getting its first solar
eclipse in 99 years that moves from the West Coast to the East Coast.
This looks strangely like an old prophecy from 30 years
ago about a “flaming sword” that was take this same path. I suspect that it
will mark the start of the final demise of Mystery Babylon, which we are
looking for by the end of 2017.
Another major sign in the heavens is scheduled for
September 23, 2017, when the woman (Virgo) appears to give birth to Jupiter
(the King’s Planet).
Recall that from 1996-1999, Virgo appeared to give birth
to the moon. The moon moved from Virgo’s womb to her feet, which also fulfilled
the pattern given in Revelation 12:1, 2.
But in 2017 we seem to be seeing Part 2, where the
“child” that was born in 1996-1999 is now returning as “Mars”
(warrior) to overthrow Mystery Babylon.
Celestial
Fulfillment of Revelation 12:1 and 2 by Dr. Dale Sides at Dr. Dale Blog
Revelation 12:1-2 KJV And there appeared a great wonder in
heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her
head a crown of twelve stars: (2) And she being with child cried,
travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
Revelation 12 is a puzzle to Bible prophecy students. It
appears to have already been fulfilled, yet it also portends a future
fulfillment. The solution to this apparent paradox is that both past and future
fulfillments are true—as is often the case with other prophetic Scriptures. It was
fulfilled (on September 11, 3 bc)
and will be fulfilled (on September 23, 2017). The purpose of this post
is to discuss this second fulfillment on September 23, 2017.
September 23, 2017, which is Rosh Hashanah, has all the
appearances of fulfilling Revelation 12:1–2. (Note: the Jewish standard lists
Rosh Hashanah 2017 as being sundown on September 20–sundown September 22;
however, the celestial standard begins Rosh Hashanah 2017 with sundown on
September 22 when the moon is under Virgo’s feet. In Jewish reckoning, sundown
is the start of a new day, so sundown on September 22 would be considered the
beginning of September 23rd.) In addition, October 5, which is the beginning of
the Feast of Tabernacles, appears to fulfill Revelation 12:3–4. These dates of
the 2017 Jewish New Year and fall feasts bear the signs of a major occurrence
according to both biblical and celestial reckoning. As far as we know, the
planet and star alignments found on September 23, 2017 that line up with
Revelation 12:1–2 have never before happened in history, nor will they happen
again.
Some of the major points that should cause us to take
notice of this time are as follows.
· It is the new moon.
· September 23, 2017 is the Feast of Trumpets
(Rosh Shoshana).
· October 5, 2017 is the Feast of Tabernacles.
· It could be the culmination of the year of
Jubilees.
· Mercury, Venus, and Mars will be over Virgo’s
head, accompanying the nine major stars of Leo, forming the headdress, or
crown, of the bride of Christ.
· Jupiter will be in Virgo, having just
retrograded in the womb area, making its descent down the birth canal. This is
perhaps one of the most amazing fulfillments of prophecy by Jupiter, the King
planet, and it could be the sign that Jupiter (Hebrew name: Tsedeq), is indeed
“His Star” that the wise men followed at Messiah’s first coming.
On September 23 of 2017 (September 22, 5:36 pm, Jerusalem
time), the sun will be in Virgo, clothing the woman, and the (new) moon will be
under her feet, just as Revelation 12:1 prophesies. Just over Virgo’s head will
be Mercury, Venus, and Mars along with the 9 major stars of Leo to produce the
garland of 12 stars. In addition, Jupiter is in Virgo’s mid-section (the birth
canal), depicting an approaching birth—perhaps the Kingdom of Heaven.
I have long suspected from reliable evidence that Jupiter
is His Star of Matthew 2:2 and that the Magi (the wise men) followed it when it
announced Messiah’s first coming. Jupiter’s Hebrew name is Tsedeq, which
means the King of Righteousness. When Yeshua of Nazareth was born on September
11, 3 bc, Jupiter/Tsedeq was
retrograding and in triple conjunction with the king star, Regulus (located in
the constellation Leo). From our perspective on Earth, it appeared to draw a
circle around Regulus. In September 2017, Jupiter/Tsedeq will retrograde in
Virgo and be in double conjunction with Spica, the star of the righteous
offspring, appearing to draw a circle around it.
This event is every bit as powerful and prophetic as the
announcement of Messiah’s first coming. At Messiah’s first coming,
Jupiter/Tsedeq, the King planet/His Star, retrograded and appeared to draw a
circle around the king star, Regulus, in Leo. In September 2017, Jupiter/Tsedeq
will retrograde and appear to draw a circle around Spica, the righteous branch
or offspring, which is in Virgo. Regulus and Spica are both the primary stars
of Leo and Virgo, respectively. These two constellations are pivotal in Messiah’s
story line—Virgo shows His birth and Leo shows His reign—in both comings. That
these retrogrades happen around their primary stars is more than quite
significant.
The fact that Jupiter is located in Virgo’s birth canal
at this time is huge. This could be the announcement of the gathering of the
Church (NO – Just the Overcomers) or
more likely the catching away of the bride of Christ. Remember that the text of
Revelation 12:1–2 mentions the crown of stars. Crowns are biblically used to
represent rewards, so the garland of light that will adorn Virgo may be a
depiction of the bride’s rewards. Virgo is the woman of the heavens; it can
represent the bride of Christ.
Three points of reference are necessary to accurately
pinpoint one’s location. If we apply this same principle to accurately decipher
these signs, our three points of reference would be the following.
1. The written Scripture
2. The progress of prophecy
3. The forecasted celestial arrangements of
September 23–October 5, 2017 (according to the Stellarium computer program)
The Jubilee
Year
In addition to the three references just mentioned, we
also should consider that Rosh Hashanah 2017 is quite likely the closing of a
Jubilee year (if we count the Jubilees of recent Israel from 1916/17 to
1966/1967). If the Jewish year count of 5777 includes the 243 years left out
due to intentional text manipulation in the Masoretic text, then we are
potentially in the year 6020. Give or take the 20 years, we are at the
threshold of the 120th Jubilee of mankind. Some believe that Genesis
6:3 provides the accumulative number of Jubilee years until the end. A Jubilee
Year is 50 years long, and Genesis 6:3 states that man’s days will be 120
years; thus, 50 X 120 = 6,000 years.
Genesis 6:3 KJV And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always
strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred
and twenty years.
It appears that we are truly living during a period of
likely biblical end-time happenings. Whether it’s the gathering of the bride of
Christ or the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven, the fall feasts days of 2017
will be prophetically fulfilling.
That`s really amazing! Praise the LORD! Brother, can you help me with Revelation 9:6? Do you have any idea about this VERY difficult verse? "And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them" (Rev 9:6). Thank you. In CHRIST JESUS, Luciano Tsuda (from Rio de Janeiro)
ReplyDeleteThe revelation is a historical narrative of the Christian Church from the time of John the
ReplyDeleteApostle until around chapter 18 which describes “The Fall of Babylon”. This historical concept of the Revelation is a product of Stephen Jones, or at least he is the only person I currently know that teaches it.
The Revelation prophecy is now at the fall or disintegration of Mystery, Babylon which is an extension of the beasts system. The world is now operating under the stipulations and regulations of the original Babylonian Empire (not referring to Nimrod but Nebuchadnezzar) i.e. idolatry, paganism, controlled fiat money supply, government that has no interest in the affairs of the people, and unnecessary wars waged for no reasonable purpose.
I spent most of my life believing the future concept of a tribulation period of seven years with the rapture of the Church occurring just prior to this time period. Most previous commentators such as Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye, anyone graduating from the Dallas Theological Seminary, along with many other so-called Christian Zionists teach a mostly literal supernatural understanding of the Revelation. At the beginning, I basically dismissed Dr. Jones’ teachings but I can now say that I totally agree with them.
There is a post of this site that gives a general background of the historical viewpoint which can be found at: Revelation Historical Narrative
Your question involves the locusts emerging from the bottomless pit. This information can be found in Dr. Jones’ book entitled The Revelation – Book 3 which can be read at no charge at the following address: http://www.gods-kingdom-ministries.net/teachings/books/the-revelation-book-3/ All 8 books of his Revelation commentary can be read online (along with many other writings) at the following address: http://www.gods-kingdom-ministries.net/teachings/books/
The locusts are a symbolic image representing the Saracen Arab horsemen who had long hair (hair of women), a long beard and wore colored turbans (crowns) on their heads. They wore iron armor with iron breastplates which made a great noise when they rode their horses.
Revelation 9:6 NET In those days people will seek death, but will not be able to find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them.
The stated “five months” is actually 150 years (30 x 5 = 150). The idea of people seeking death was most likely the result of starvation, poor water conditions, no suitably living conditions, and being ruled by Arabs with all their property destroyed.
