This article is written for general readers who have a general interest in the Illuminati. Unless I’ve written on this topic and forgotten what I wrote, I believe this is the first time an article has been written on this topic. The Illuminati’s secrecy has been so powerful, that I believe this is the first time it has been pierced with this information. I believe this information may assist us in understanding when major secret policy changes may occur. But I ask, what good is this information without the fear of God? I encourage my readers to not just concern themselves with the present or the future, but also for that time when they have to face their Creator. If you haven’t attended to your soul, it would be well worth your time to get right with God, rather than reading this article.
In my investigations into the Illuminati, I was provided information from several ex-Illuminati members about an important ritual called The Feast of the Beast. I’ve made references to this ritual occasionally and this attracted some attention by some of my readers. I’ve been asked to write about this ritual over the years, and always found more pressing things to do. My various sources gave their testimony independent of each other and this led me to conclude that the ceremony did indeed exist. A lot of pressure has come down on me, and I felt that I should go ahead and write this article rather than presume that I shall have the chance later.
In simple terms, the Feast of the Beast is a yearlong event that occurs every 28 years and is attended by Illuminati leadership from around the world. It is a very high level ceremony, and would not be recognized at the anarchy ritual level of the Illuminati.
Ritual is very important to Satan, and to the Illuminati. There are a number of reasons to this. One, it provides an excuse to carry out horrible things without having to feel any guilt. A person can explain away things as “It was time for that.” or “That’s the way things are done.” Or, “we must protect these traditions”.
Permit me to quote some recognized occult books that are accessible to the public. These books will help document some of meaning of the Feast of the Beast. Of course, experienced witches will find these quotes elementary, but I write this article for Christians or the curious who may likely not know these things.
Lewis Spense’s An Encyclopedia of Occultism (originally published in 1920, and republished in 1960) says on p. 263 in its article on Magical Numbers, “In magical rites, numbers played a great part.” We may well ask why?
The council for witch covens in the Portland area recommends the book The Witches Way as a method for the new witch to learn witchcraft from the Book of Shadows. Because the book is sold publicly, it leaves out secret rituals from the Book of Shadows. On p. 151 in the chapter “Myth, ritual and symbolism” the reader is told that symbols appeal to the unconscious and that numbers are used as symbols. In other words, numbers are a way to plant ideas into the subconscious.
The Feast of the Beast is associated with the number 28 (as well as its reverse 82, and as well as the combination 7 times 4). One of the best books on providing the occult world’s meanings of numbers is Aleister Crowley’s books Gematria and Tables of Correspondences. On page 58 of Crowley’s Table of Correspondences under the Orders of Qliphoth, we’re informed that 28 is the number of the Beast, that is Bahimiron which is Bestial. Crowley also teaches that the number 28 is associated with the unicorn, the peacock, the peacock & the rainbow, artificial glass (& chalcedony which suggests clouds), astrology in general, a number of perfumes such as Rhubarb and Stammonia, and a 3 headed beast (heads of a bull, man & ram) riding a dragon. In his book Gematria, about the numerology of mystic numbers, we are told that in the static universe 28 means power (Netzach, also spelled netsach), and in the world the magician makes it means “My victory, my power.”
(By the way, Netsach is used in the Word of God at 1 CHR 29:11 “Thine, O Lord [YHWH], is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory [netsach], and the majesty…” Netsach means a bright object like a star that one travels toward, it is a shining goal, which has been achieved.)
There is no question that Cabalists view 28 as a very powerful number. Further, when we realize that 28 is also a combination of 7 (perfection) and 4 (also considered completeness or perfection), we can appreciate that 28 on a Magical calendar system is powerful. Accordingly, the Illuminati made note in their rituals in 1982, that 82 is the reversal of 28. According to some, the year long Feast of the Beast occurred in 1982, and the previous one occurred in ’53 or ’54. The next one is to occur in 2009 or 2010.
You will note that some very important changes in planning/operation occurred during the 53-54 time period. The first Bilderberg meeting began in 1954. This was the time when all the various factions of world power signed into a pact of cooperation. It was a secret turning point where a genuine One-World power came into being. The Priory of Sion, the secret order behind the Knights Templars, began to disseminate information about itself. The United States shifted from a military where conventional weapons were emphasized to organizing itself around nuclear weapons. The U.S. also pushed atomic energy worldwide with the “Atoms for Peace” program. A number of occultists had previously predicted this worldwide shift towards nuclear energy for both war and peace purposes. (Another energy projection was that money will become units of energy.)
At the Feast of the Beast, a beautiful bride is trained and presented to Satan, and she may well be a virgin. This ceremony is most likely held at a castle or palace, and is also likely to be held over in Europe for the principle ceremony. Lesser ceremonies may be held here in the states. Witnesses claim that Satan appears and interacts with his human leadership. He provides them with detailed instructions for what he wants done until the next Feast of the Beast. In other words, he provides the top Illuminati hierarchy with their future long-range plans. The actual Feast of the Beast is a yearlong ceremony.
However, there is also a small ceremony performed before the autumn equinox approximately around the 5th to the 7th of September, which is a Marriage to the Beast ceremony, that can also be called The Feast of the Beast. It is a microcosm of the large ceremony. Or perhaps one could call it an imitation.
It was also claimed by one informant that the Feast of the Beast in 1982 was the 13th from 1618, and that the Feast of the Beast in 1618 had been a significant event.
The Illuminati have certain people assigned to focus on spiritual power. Some readers may remember that I have explained that the Collins family was brought into the hierarchy because they were so powerful magically. The Rothschild's have the financial power, but the Collins family has been very powerful witches. Women are spiritually very powerful in the Illuminati, and some women in the Illuminati are very important in planning and making the rituals successful. I write this because those Illuminati members who are part of the spiritual section of the Illuminati are going to be better informed than other sections (say the political, scientific or financial sections) on ritual background of the Feast of the Beast. The number 28 is said to come from Babylonian magic, the lunar calendar, and a woman’s menstrual cycle.
Ancient Babylon divided their day into 12 hours (each of their hours is two of ours). And each Babylonian hour was divided into 30 minutes (so their minute was 4 of our minutes. The Lunar month was 30 days. Seeing how all these 12’s and 30’s occur, it is not surprising that they used a base 60 numbering system. That means you counted to 60 before you got to 10. This is called a sexagesimal system or base 60 system. I was told that the number 28 played a role in the Babylonian calendar but what it was is not clear to me. Anyway, it is likely the number 28 has occult connotations that go back to Babylonian magic. The powerful Rothschild's love Babylonian magic, so it is no surprise that witnesses have seen the leadership of this bloodline at the Feast of the Beast ceremonies.
What does all of this mean for common people, or the true God’s royalty? It means that major policy shifts are likely to be seen after about 2010. While the Illuminati have been having some major power struggles, things will get sorted out better during this time period and major programs launched. No matter what happens it will all fail to detour God’s ultimate will. However, the Illuminati have been fairly confident in their own secret meetings where they describe their 20, 10 and 5 year plans. Many of their plans since the last Feast of the Beast have not had full success, but they remain confident of their power.
This has been a look at one of the most important secret Illuminati ceremonies, a ceremony based on Babylonian and Cabalistic Gematria, where important policy is planned, and having as its participants Satan (who appears as a man/shape shifting reptile) and the leadership of the Illuminati.

The Elixir of Life
Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus, the Captain of the Host! As you may or may not know, our enemy will be expending a lot of energy and power though cults, covens and other occultic groups (including the Illuminati) the next 30 days or so (and beyond) to unleash his strategies for greatly increasing their level of satanic power, for gaining satanic strategies and plans for the next cycle and for penetrating the veil in the spirit realm to gain vision and clarity, as well as to gather intelligence, for the battles ahead and to target our vulnerabilities and gain advantages.
Here are some of the scheduled strategies planned by our enemy:
RAMADAN
Ramadan began being observed this year by the Muslim world on August 22nd. Over one billion Muslims will be fasting for 30 days and, in addition to the seven times a day that they already kneel toward the east and release sound and prayer to Allah, they will also devote themselves to intensive worship, reading of the Qur'an, giving charity, purifying their behavior, and doing good deeds all in a calculated effort to gain supernatural power and strength from the false god they serve.
AUTUMNAL EQUINOX
The non-Muslim occultic practitioners have begun their ramp up to the autumnal equinox. In the language of science, an equinox is either of two points on the celestial sphere where the ecliptic and the celestial equator intersect. For the rest of us, it's one of two times a year when the sun crosses the equator and day and night is of approximately equal length.
Witches and pagans celebrate it as a Sabbat called Mabon and, among many other revelries and rituals, they honor a spirit of rage and death called the Dark Mother.
Satanists prepare for weeks for a two day celebration that includes the hosting of midnight (September21st) which calls for blood sacrifices of females (of any age), including mutilation and dismemberment of the hands. The two day celebration culminates on the day of the autumnal equinox (September 22nd) with sexual orgies involving any age (including small children) where absolutely any and all varieties of activity are encouraged. These rituals are about gaining wicked occult power, strength and vision for both individuals and their occult networks.
MARRIAGE FEAST OF THE BEAST
This year the Marriage Feast of the Beast is also being celebrated. In simple terms, the Feast of the Beast is a yearlong event that occurs every 28 years and is attended by Illuminati leadership. It is a very high level ceremony of the Illuminati. The Feast of the Beast is associated with the number 28 (as well as its reverse 82, and as well as the combination 7 times 4). 28 is the number of the Beast, which is Bahimiron and is bestial. The number 28 is associated with the unicorn, the peacock, the peacock and the rainbow, artificial glass and chalcedony which suggests clouds, astrology in general, a number of perfumes and a 3 headed beast (heads of a bull, man and ram) riding a dragon. In terms of Gematria, the numerology of mystic numbers, we are told that in the static universe 28 means power, and in the world the magician makes it means “My victory, my power.” These 28th years, like the one we’re currently in, seem to be periods where the Illuminati releases power to cause shifts (major policy and financial, political and “spiritual” shifts) to occur worldwide that will enable their 5, 10 and 20 year plans to fall into place or be launched.
At the Feast of the Beast, a beautiful bride is trained and presented to Satan, and she may well be a virgin. This ceremony is most likely held at a castle or palace, and is also likely to be held over in Europe for the principle ceremony. Lesser ceremonies may be held here in the states. Witnesses claim that Satan appears and interacts with his human leadership. He provides them with detailed instructions for what he wants done until the next Feast of the Beast. In other words, he provides the top Illuminati hierarchy with their future long-range plans throughout the yearlong ceremony.
However, there is also a small ceremony performed before the autumnal equinox, on the 7th of September, which is a Marriage to the Beast ceremony, which can also be called The Feast of the Beast. Sexual ceremonies with females (infants to 21 year olds) will be held which will end in sacrifice and dismemberment for satanic strategy and power.
This year September 7th falls on Labor Day when many potential victims will be vulnerable while camping, or participating in family or out door gatherings or in “partying” when defenses are low. I believe, if you didn't before, that you now see the significance of both this next 30 days, as well as this entire “28th year”, to our enemy's plans.
Our King’s strategies are superior and certain! Just as secure computer systems build fire walls to protect valuable information, its communication and the operating systems required to process and use it, our Lord Sabbaoth has instructed us to activate, ignite and maintain a fire wall around our cities, as well as along the I-35 and I-70 Corridors (which intersect much of America in the form of a cross) to thwart our enemy's purposes, ruin his plans for our cities and weaken his grip on our nation! Our goals are: to ruin the enemy’s plans for his evil agents to gain power by thwarting their ability to hold ceremonies and sacrifices or to take victims; to permanently drain their current power supplies through spiritual warfare victories (where we employ the Rule of the Victor and take spoils!); to destroy their ability to spy, or to receive or employ demonic strategies; and to provide protection for the Body of Christ, and the citizens of our cities, while advancing the Kingdom of our God!
Please share this with others in your networks, if you feel they can handle the sensitive content without experiencing difficulty or trauma, and plan to enter into worship and war today and every day from now through the end of September and beyond for the sake of the Kingdom, either in gatherings or at home. We are asking you to join with us in spirit to cover our own cities and our nation at large with a blanket of protection and to help us activate, ignite and maintain the strategic supernatural firewalls shown to us by Holy Spirit
As you lift up high praises and warring worship to the One True Most High and Holy God, the King of Kings and Lord of All, please include these warfare prayers and declarations:
·Ask God to assign and dispatch mighty warrior angles to synchronize with our efforts and to enforce the warfare prayers, decrees and declarations He has us release.
·Keep a blood covering of protection continually in place over yourselves, your families and friends, your health and property, your homes and vehicles, your ministries and staffs, your income and finances, your pastors and church families, the worldwide body of Christ and every thing else that concerns you or pertains to you, or them, in any way.
·Place a blood covering over every way of travel in your city, state and across the nation including the airways, railways, roadways, waterways and the like, as well as bridges, tunnels and the I-35 and I-70 corridors.
·Ask that our enemy’s ability to communicate in any way, with anyone (demon or human), by any means be supernaturally blocked, so that all his plans against us, our families, friends, the body of Christ and the Kingdom are destroyed and his strategies defeated.
·Ask God to supernaturally summon His sons and His soldiers immediately and draw them to worship and warfare prayer. Ask Him to open our eyes and ears and inundate us with His Spirit and with His wisdom, revelation, understanding, council, discernment, Kingdom power and holy fear.
·Ask God to keep the veil between realms utterly closed and to tightly seal the eyes and the ears of our enemy and all his evil agents, so that they cannot penetrate in the spirit to spy or gain any information or advantage against us or the Kingdom or to receive demonic strategies or long-term plans.
·Break the power of every occult assignment of suicide, murder, death, destruction, rape, kidnapping, assault, lust, sexual perversion, rage, anger, rebellion and terrorism along with any attached curses of violence, accidents, injuries, infirmity or insanity and ask the One True Judge to render them null and void of any power to produce an evil harvest, in the name of Jesus. Bind every demon together who was attached to, or operating under the covering of, any such occult assignments and curses -- then break their power, forbid them to ever return or send any others in their place and dispatch them to the feet of Jesus by His power and in His name. Ask for God to send enforcer angels to escort them away! (Be sure to name and include any other wicked assignments, curses or demon spirits that Holy Spirit brings to your attention!)
·Ask our Father to release worldwide weather conditions that would greatly discourage and hinder satanic holiday celebrants from participating and that would prevent the required satanic kidnappings and sacrificial rituals from taking place. Ask God to release the angels of His winds to assist in carrying this out and guardian angels to protect the saints and their property!
·Ask God to intervene and supernaturally prevent any abortion clinic in America, from being able to operate in any way on any of the human sacrifice ritual days, in the name of Jesus. Then declare that our enemy's ability to employ those clinics on ritualistic human sacrifice days is utterly thwarted and that his plans are ruined, by the power of God. Ask our Father to send enforcer angels and spoilers to ensure to it!
·Ask God to assign mighty warrior angels to form a high, shoulder to shoulder, impenetrable circle of fire as a hedge of protection around your city.
·Ask God to supernaturally ignite the walls along both sides of the I-35and I-70 corridors with the very fire of His own blazing furnace as a consuming hedge of protection and way of safe passage.
·Ask God to assign mighty warrior angels as angelic guards along the fire walls and around the perimeter borders of our nation to form additional hedges of protection around the quadrants of America naturally divided by the interstate highway corridors!
·Decree that these fire walls along the I-35 and I-70 corridors, which have been built through covenant relationship and with our worship, would remain perpetually ablaze and ask God to send the angels of His fire to see to it! Maintain the fire walls through daily worship.
·Declare that the heat and the light from the fire walls would prevent our enemy from striking on the highways and would so terrorize and confuse our enemy's forces in the adjoining quadrants of our nation, that it would cause both demons and their human occult agents to flee their posts and abandon their assignments and that we would see our enemy's plans and strategies go up in smoke and his labors reduced to ashes!
·Ask our heavenly Father for supernatural intervention in every war zone worldwide to prevent our enemy from employing occult power and demonic influence to escalate or initiate fighting, or to set deadly ambushes or explosions, in order to bring about an increase in war deaths and catastrophic casualties to coincide with the human sacrifice days during the upcoming satanic season. Declare that our enemy's plans to wreak havoc with death, destruction, rape or perversion through existing or new war zones are destroyed and that his attempts to increase the power base in his human cult networks in this way are foiled! Declare satan's defeat on every side!
·Declare that none of our enemy’s schemes will prevent us from entering the head of the new year (5770) properly or from successfully shifting and passing all the way through our narrow corridors, in the Mighty name of Jesus!
·Worship the Most High God and thank Him for all the incredible victories secured today, and each day during the next 30 days and the entire “28th year”, as our enemy’s strategies fail to succeed and the kingdom of darkness suffers great loss -- all because of the shed blood of the Lamb of God and by the power of the name of Jesus, the risen King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
·Claim the Rule of the Victor over each victory. The Rule of the Victor is evidenced throughout the Old Testament every time the children of God, having battled victoriously, plucked out eyes, cut off heads, thumbs and toes, hobbled horses, destroyed weapons and chariots and the like. The Rule of the Victor must still be employed today in a different application. Today the terms we establish and declare as we claim the Rule of the Victor over these, and every future victory in battle, are that the efforts of our enemy result in a permanent power drain to his occult agents and their networks. So, declare that all the power gained for and used up in the occultic plots against us be permanently drained away. Furthermore declare that the power expended can never be regained or replaced BY ANY MEANS. Require the immediate transfer of all their riches and resources from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of Light. Require the immediate destruction of all their communication, supply and power lines, the severing of their silver cords, and the immediate destruction of all their tools (books, paraphernalia, art, candles, items used in rituals, etc.) and weapons (things used in casting spells and curses or for abductions, sacrifices, training/programmin g, etc.) Finally, require the immediate reversal of all the curses and schemes put into place against, or even planned for us and our nation. In this way we begin to drain dry the power and resources of cults, covens and other occult practitioners, along with every other person or group networking with or assisting them, until they are unable to effectively function! Ask our Father to send enforcer angels and spoilers to see to it!
·Ask our Father what to require of the enemy as spoils for victory. Whenever there is victory, spoils should be collected. Today spoils are the souls of the lost and captive and all the riches and resources attached to them. (What you're really asking Him is "who" and "how many" and He could tell you to require every unsaved or captive soul within a five mile radius around your home or He could tell you to require the unsaved or captive souls of an entire nation, or people group. Spoils are generally commensurate to the size of the victory. Don't forget to also require the riches and resources attached to them!)
Thank you so much for reading this and helping us to carry out this strategic assignment!
Now, along with the apostle Paul, we pray:
17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. 18I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might 20which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, 23which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. (Eph 1:17-23)

Events that might occur in 2009
My current understanding is that the time known as Great Tribulation [Matt. 24:21 / Rev. 7:14] will be approximately 3 ½ years in length. I anticipate that this timeframe could be synonymous with the prophetic day counts of 1260 days [Rev. 11:3], 1290 days [Dan. 12:11], 1335 days [Dan. 12:12], 2300 evening-mornings [Dan. 8:14 / perhaps 1150 days], and the 42 month count [Rev. 11:2 / Rev. 13:5].
Awhile back I noticed a pattern in these counts spanning from the spring to the fall feast / fast days of Judaism. The pattern is mostly the same for start years of 2004 through 2012, but there are interesting variations for start years of 2008 & 2009. Since 2009 is the focus of this post, I will only present the counts associated with 2009. Following is a table of how these counts could run:
| Years | Count | Start | Finish |
| 2009 | 1335 Days | 3/9/2009 - Purim | 11/2/2012 - 38 days after Yom Kippur 9/26/2012 |
| 1290 Days | 3/9/2009 - Purim | 9/18/2012 - Rosh Hashanah Day 2 | |
| 1260 Days | 4/8/2009 - Pesach | 9/18/2012 - Rosh Hashanah Day 2 | |
| 1150 Days | 7/29/2009 - 9th of Av | 9/21/2012 - Sabbath of Return | |
| 42 Months | Sivan 5769 [Shavuot 5/28/2009] | Tishri 5773 [2012] |
Please note the counts are based upon the Hebrew inclusive method of counting. Also keep in mind that a Hebrew day is reckoned from sundown to sundown, so each significant day actually begins the evening before and concludes at sundown the day of. The Gregorian dates used to calculate the counts reflect this fact. Based on my current understanding and the observed count pattern, I’ve been looking to each spring for the past few years as to whether that year was the pivotal year or not, so far to no avail. This upcoming spring may be different.
If my understanding is correct, I think the following series of events could occur:
1. The credit crisis could get worse through the next 6 months. Doves have posted letters of David Wilkerson’s vision of economic collapse lasting 6 months, as well as a similar prediction by a group with a predictive linguistics Internet database program called The Web Bot Project. The Web Bots predicted an economic crisis starting in the fall of this year with upheaval for 6 months. Link to David Wilkerson vision Link to Web Bot prediction
The interesting thing about these predictions is that this past week was the worst one week loss on the DOW in history; by far. Also, Iceland essentially collapsed; the first country in Dave’s vision perhaps? Moreover, on the VERY FIRST DAY of the Hebrew year of 5769, this credit crisis had a 777 point decline on the DOW. Could this be a sign of things to come? Remember, the unfolding of Revelation would see 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets and 7 Bowls [three 7’s], perhaps starting in the year 5769.
2. The Israel – Palestinian peace process could culminate, or deteriorate into war. There certainly appears to be a big push to get some kind of agreement on this issue by the outgoing Bush administration prior to the end of his presidency. Ehud Olmert, who’s on the outs as well, appears to be in lock-step with President Bush on this. I could see this going either way in the next several months, either a peace agreement will be achieved, or things will deteriorate into war.
3. A rise in natural disasters and trouble between nations. I think we could see these types of events increase in sporadic fits over the next several months [I.E. Increase in birth pains]. Several long term weather forecasts are calling for a severe winter in the northern hemisphere this winter. If this is true it could contribute to the economic crisis with escalating heating costs and perhaps crop failures.
4. A rise in Islamic influence in world affairs. I am one of many Doves who do not think the antichrist will arise from the EU, but rather that he will rise from an Arab Islamic state. If the beast were to rise from Islam, he would immediately have a worldwide following of ¼ of the world’s population. And this includes many, many whole countries whose governments are ruling through Islamic religious law; and it’s not just Middle Eastern countries. A good head start on world domination I would think. Islam is already condemning Western economic ideals regarding the current crisis.
The influential Sunni cleric Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi said on Sunday Oct 12: "The collapse of the capitalist system based on usury and paper and not on goods traded on the market is proof that it is in crisis and shows that Islamic economic philosophy is holding up," said the Egyptian-born, Qatar-based cleric. "The Western system has collapsed and we have a complete economic philosophy as well as spiritual strength," he said at Sunday's opening of a conference on Jerusalem. All riches are ours... the Islamic nation has all or nearly all the oil and we have an economic philosophy that no one else has," Qaradawi said. He urged Muslims to "profit from the crisis to bring about the triumph of the (Islamic) nation, which holds the spiritual and material resources for victory." Link to article "Replace capitalism with Islamic financial system"
5. An “event” on Purim 3/9/2009? An event could occur in Israel that would have great prophetic significance. The event would represent a continual or perpetual that is taken away or turned aside. See the section titled “Purim” below in this article for more details regarding this possibility.
6. The Two Witnesses could begin to prophesy in Israel on Pesach [Passover] 4/8/2009. This day could be the start of the 1260 days that the Two Witnesses prophesy. There are some interesting things about this date. In Judaism, this date may hold significance as it not only is the start of Passover, but it is also the Birchat HaChama - The Blessing of the Sun. And it is a very rare one that occurs on the first day of Pesach. Greg Killian has an excellent study on Birchat HaChama. Link to Greg Killian study
Following are excerpts from the “Quick Guide to Birkat Hachama” written by Dr. Julian Schamroth: “What is the Blessing on the Sun? Once every 28 years, the Sun returns to the position it occupied when it was created at the beginning of the fourth day of creation: ”And Hashem made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night and the stars. And Hashem placed them in the sky of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from darkness; and Hashem saw that it was good. And it was evening and it was morning, a fourth day.” [Gen. 1:14-19] Our Sages used this opportunity to institute a special prayer acknowledging God's might and His creation of the world. This Blessing is known as The Blessing on the Sun, or Birkat Hachama.
Is there anything special about this date, 14 Nissan 5769 [4/8/2009 Erev Pesach]? There might be: the Kadosh Elyon (the 'Ostrovster Admor') wrote that there are only 3 times in 6,000 years of Jewish history when Birkat Hachama falls on 14 Nissan. These are:
a. Prior to being redeemed from Egypt.
b. Prior to the miracle of Purim.
c. In the year 5769.
Since the first 2 occurrences preceded miracles and redemption, the Admor wrote that in the year 5769 the same will occur: This will be last time ever and shortly afterwards, the redemption must come, b'h. Note: The Ostrovster Admor wrote that Birkat Hachama falls on 14 Nissan only 3 times in history, when, in fact, the year 5769 will be the 11th time that this occurs (The last time was on 8 April 1925). Perhaps he was referring only to those times when Birkat Hachama precedes a major redemption. Certainly 5769 will be the last time when this can happen.” End of Dr. Julian Schamroth’s excerpt. Link to article
In Greg Killian’s study, he provides details regarding a 532 year cycle which marks more significance for some Birchat HaChama’s. In any case, the next Birchat HaChama will not occur until 2037 and it will not be one of the special ones that occur on 14 Nissan / Pesach. If it’s true that a 14 Nissan / Birchat HaChama was associated with both the Exodus and Purim, then note the following:
Both of these events are associated with 2 people through whom God works to bring about miracles of redemption for Israel; Moses and Aaron for the Exodus, Mordecai and Esther for Purim. Could the Two Witnesses be up next?
On a more personal note, an interesting coincidence is that April 8 is my birthday. I’ll be 42 on 4/8/2009, and my first name means follower of Christ. However, I’m not saying this is significant or anything, just that it’s interesting for me personally.
7. An Islamic leader could come into view around Shavuot [Feast of Weeks, or Pentecost] on 5/28/2009. As presented in the count pattern table above, counting 42 months [Rev 13:5] inclusively starting with the month of Sivan 5769 [the month that Shavuot fall in] you would come to Tishri 5773 [2012]. If this occurs, we could see an Islamic leader that comes to prominence in the Middle East. Essentially this leader would solidify his power and authority starting in the month of Sivan 5769 [May 24 to June 22, 2009].
I would expect this leader would receive control over oil rich Arab nations. We know from Daniel 11:21-24 that one of the characteristics of the antichrist is that he enters peaceably. He obtains the kingdom by flattery, including the fattest places of the province. The Hebrew word translated to "fattest places" is "Mashman" [strong’s 08080]; it means: fatness, fat piece, fertile place, richly prepared food a) fat, fatness, fat pieces b) OIL, olive OIL.
You will notice items 5-7 occur on Israel’s feast days; currently happy days. If they do indeed occur, it would likely be in fulfillment of what the prophet Amos stated, "I will turn your feasts into mourning, And all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth on every waist, And baldness on every head; I will make it like mourning for an only son, And its end like a bitter day." [Amos 8:10 NKJV]
8. Bad news may be in store by the 9th of Av on 7/29/2009. Most of us know that terrible events happened to Israel on the 9th of Av throughout history. If you don’t know this, check out the following Link to Tisha B'Ab study. If 2009 is the pivotal year, then very bad event(s) could start / occur on the 9th of Av on 7/29/2009 regarding Israel. They most likely would be related to, or directly caused by, actions by the Islamic leader that comes into view by Sivan 5769.
For some additional nuggets of information, the Web Bots see the summer of 2009 as very bad times as well. They are calling it the summer of hell. Moreover, several Doves posted information about David Flynn and his new book, Temple At The Center Of Time. David Flynn believes he found evidence pointing to the antichrist being revealed in July 2009. And our own John Tng also uncovered information suggesting the antichrist could be revealed in 2009 in general. If you haven’t read them yet, check out the following two letters: Jim Bramlett post John Tng post
Details regarding the “Why” of these possibilities
Purim
It all begins on Purim. Purim commemorates the time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from extermination at the hands of Haman [Book of Esther]. It is a feast celebration. The longest count is the 1335 days of Daniel chapter 12. Daniel was told that people who reach the conclusion of these 1335 days are blessed, and that Daniel would receive his inheritance at the end of the days. ”12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. 13 But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days." [Dan. 12:12-13 NKJV]
The word translated “inheritance” in the NKJV, or “lot” in many other versions is the Hebrew word “gowral”. The definition of “gowral” from the Brown-Driver- Briggs Hebrew Lexicon states: gôwral -1. A lot for dividing land, as Joshua did at Shiloh, (Josh. 18:4); 2. lot for assigning to service, duty or punishment … as priests to their courses, singers, musicians and porters to their duties by lot (1 Chron.); 3. a thing assigned, apportioned or allotted; also, (Daniel 12:13), of allotted portion, share in the Messianic consummation; more generally, one’s portion, lot, fortune; 4. portion, recompense, retribution, implying divine agency (ibid., p. 174).
Just as the priests, Levites, singers, etc., had an assigned duty at an appointed time for service, so Daniel was assigned a time and place for service in the inauguration of the Messianic Kingdom of which he had been given the vision in Dan. 2:44-45; 7:13-14, 18, 27; 9:24-27 and chapter 12. He was granted that high honor, as his allotted portion, and a reward, or recompense, for his faithful service. Hence the NKJV translation of gowral as inheritance is most appropriate.
I believe we can conclude that by the end of these 1335 days all will be completed. We know this because Daniel will not receive his inheritance until the 2nd Coming when Yeshua destroys the beast and his kingdom, and in its place establishes His Messianic Kingdom. The glorious end of the days indeed!!
These events tie into the themes of Purim. At the 2nd Coming, Israel will be saved from the hands of the beast just as they were saved from the hands of Haman in Esther’s time. However, Purim may become a time of mourning instead of a time of celebration. Just as the prophet Amos stated, "I will turn your feasts into mourning, And all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth on every waist, And baldness on every head; I will make it like mourning for an only son, And its end like a bitter day." [Amos 8:10 NKJV]
If you look at the count table above, you will see that the 1290 days may also start on Purim. “11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.” [Dan 12:11 NKJV]
Here is the interesting part about Daniel 12:11. Many translations of Daniel add words which are not present in the original Hebrew, specifically the word "sacrifice" or "burnt offering". Translators added these words because of another Hebrew word "Tamiyd" [Strong’s 08548]. Tamiyd means: continuity, perpetuity, to stretch. By itself it is a noun, but in the Old Testament it is often used as an adverb or adjective. In the book of Daniel, Tamiyd is typically seen as an adjective that is used substantively; that is, no noun is supplied. Because of this, many translators made the assumption that sacrifice / burnt offering was the missing noun and they added it to the text. And you know what happens when you assume!
In the Old Testament, the word Tamiyd is used just over 100 times. 26 times it is used to support the noun sacrifice / burnt offering. In every single one of these 26 cases, the word for sacrifice / burnt offering [Hebrew: Olah or Minchah] is actually present in the Hebrew text. 18 of them occur in the book of Numbers alone; which makes sense because the book of Numbers instructs the Israelites regarding the sacrifices.
Moreover, of the major and minor prophet books Tamiyd is used 24 times; but it is only used 1 TIME to support the noun sacrifice / burnt offering, which IS present in the text [Hebrew "Olah" in Ezek. 46:15]. So in the Old Testament, whenever the word Tamiyd is meant to be associated with the sacrifice / burnt offering, the word for sacrifice / burnt offering is found in the Hebrew text. In all other instances it is related to an entirely different noun / subject.
However, in the book of Daniel Tamiyd is used 5 times [Dan 8:11, 12 & 13; 11:31; 12:11], and in each of these instances the word for sacrifice / burnt offering IS NOT present in the Hebrew text!! Nor is any other noun or subject!! In Daniel, the word Tamiyd is used by itself substantively. To add a noun or subject for Tamiyd in Daniel is to add to the Word of God; it should not be done. All translations that add the words sacrifice or burnt offering to the book of Daniel are incorrect in doing so. And many translations make note of the fact that the words sacrifice or burnt offering are NOT in the original text.
I submit to you that God made no error in the words given to Daniel. Tamiyd is just Tamiyd, used substantively, translated as either "Continual" or "Perpetual". This is a striking fact because it means that the subject of each prophetic instance of Tamiyd is not specified. Not until the prophecy is fulfilled will we know for sure what the Tamiyd is referring to. Armed with these facts, a literal and correctly interpreted reading of Dan 12:11-13 should be: "11 and from the time of the turning aside of the perpetual [Tamiyd], and to the giving out of the desolating abomination, days a thousand, two hundred, and ninety. 12 O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and doth come to the days, a thousand, three hundred, thirty and five. 13 And thou, go on to the end, then thou dost rest, and dost stand in thy lot [gowral] at the end of the days." [Young's Literal Translation]
So I’m currently thinking that the 1290 and 1335 day counts could start on Purim 3/9/2009. As we’ve just discussed, it will not start with the taking away of daily sacrifices in Israel. We only know that a “Continual / Perpetual” will be taken away or turned aside. Speculating, it could be something that causes a cessation of prayer at the Wailing Wall; or due to some event relating to the abomination of desolation, which is a part of the 1290 day timeframe.
Pesach [Passover]
30 days after Purim 3/9/2009, on Pesach 14 Nissan 4/8/2009, we could see the Two Witnesses begin to prophesy for 1260 days. Perhaps there may be news of them before this date; but I would anticipate it would not be earlier then Purim. Pesach and Purim both focus on redemption. Following are 3 more excellent studies by Greg Killian that bring these feasts into focus: Link to Passover study Link to Purim study 1 Link to Purim study 2. Based on the information provided in item 5 above, this coming Pesach may play a part in the final redemption for Israel, fully realized in the fall of 2012. The Birchat HaChama may be pointing to this. There is no disputing that the redemption from Egypt came through 2 servants of God who prophesied, Moses and Aaron; and from destruction at the hands of Haman in Persia through 2 servants of God, Mordecai and Esther.
The 1260 days of the Two Witnesses are found in Revelation 11:3-12. We know that the Two Witnesses prophesy during a time that the beast has power because the beast kills them at the end of these 1260 days [Rev. 11:7]. The Two Witnesses are dressed in sackcloth; a garment worn by mourners. This shows us that their 1260 days of ministry are also a time of mourning, which may have started on Purim 30 days prior. It is likely that the 1290 days and the 1260 days would end around the same time because of the detail given in Daniel 12:7 when "the power of the holy people has been completely shattered". I think everyone would agree that the Two Witnesses are also holy people; therefore the power of the holy people is not COMPLETELY shattered until these Two Witnesses are overcome and killed by the beast.
Additionally, these Two Witnesses “These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.” [Rev. 11:6 NKJV]. This is the same as what happened in the time of the Exodus, the redemption from Egypt, via Moses.
So perhaps due to an event that occurs on Purim, the Two Witnesses begin to prophesy to Israel and the world 30 days later starting on Pesach 14 Nissan 4/8/2009, marking the start of the 1260 days. They are the “two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth” [Rev. 11:4] who shed light as to the soon 2nd coming of Yeshua in power and glory to redeem His people. 10 "And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. 11 In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.” {Zech 12:10-11 NKJV].
If the events I described do actually happen on Purim and Pesach, only then do I think we could see the antichrist revealed by the month of Sivan [May 24 to June 22, 2009], perhaps around Shavuot [Feast of Weeks, or Pentecost] on 5/28/2009. He would receive his authority starting the 42 month count.
9th of Av
If items 5-7 occur, then perhaps the 2300 evenings & mornings or 1150 day count starts on the 9th of Av, 7/29/2009. These 2300 evenings & mornings or 1150 days are found in Daniel 8:9-14. In this passage of scripture we again find the Hebrew word "Tamiyd", an adjective used substantively with no noun which only means "Continual" or "Perpetual” used 3 times. So the sacrifice is not in view here. Only a Continual / Perpetual of which we cannot yet identify. We will only be able to identify it after its fulfillment.
Another English translation issue is involved with this passage. It surrounds the words translated as "Sanctuary". In verse 11, the Hebrew word "Miqdash" is used which literally means "Sanctuary". But in verses 13 & 14, the word many bible versions incorrectly translate as "Sanctuary" is the Hebrew word "Qodesh". Qodesh means: apartness, holiness, sacredness, separateness, set-apartness. When Daniel wants to identify a "Place" of a Sanctuary, he uses the proper word to denote this, Miqdash [see the context of Miqdash in Daniel 8:11 & 9:17]. It seems to me that when Daniel wants us to understand he is writing of the Sanctuary he uses the correct Hebrew word for Sanctuary, but when he is writing of an apartness, holiness, sacredness, separateness, set-apartness, he uses the word Qodesh.
I again submit to you that this is not an accident. It is likely that the much broader meaning of apartness, holiness, sacredness, separateness, or set-apartness is meant in verses 13 & 14, just as the word used actually means. In verse 13 the question is asked, "How long will the vision be, concerning the [Tamiyd – Continual / Perpetual] and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the [Qodesh - Apartness, Holiness, Sacredness, Separateness, Set-apartness] and the host to be trampled under foot?" So during this 2300 evenings & mornings or 1150 days, the continual / perpetual has been taken away, the transgression of desolation will occur, and the trampling under foot of both the host and the "Qodesh" [whatever this apartness, etc., ends up representing] will occur. All of these conditions existing during the 1150 days.
Another major point regarding this 1150 day count is that at its conclusion, a momentous event occurs. See Daniel 8:14. The King James Version says "then shall the [Qodesh - translated sanctuary] be [Cleansed]". There is another striking translation anomaly regarding the word "Cleansed". It is the Hebrew word "Tsadaq" which actually means: to be just, be righteous, made right, be justified, vindicate. It is a verb describing an action occurring to the noun "Qodesh". We have already seen that Qodesh doesn't really mean a place - Sanctuary. Instead is means Apartness, Holiness, Sacredness, Separateness, Set-apartness. We see that use of the word Cleansed is not appropriate, as the actual meaning of the word Tsadaq [to be just, be righteous, made right, be justified, vindicate] is much more appropriate. A literal translation would be more like "Then shall the separateness be made right" or "Then shall the holy be vindicated".
Moreover, several studies have been made on the use of the verb Tsadaq, the nouns Tsedeq/Tsedaqah [righteousness] , and the adjective-noun Tsaddiq [righteous]. Scholars generally accept that these terms are associated in the Old Testament with the law court, God's salvific actions, and the sanctuary services. These words emphasize the idea of restoring or preserving the order established by God.
The primary use of the root Tsadaq is legal. It designates the restoration of the legal rights of a person falsely accused of a crime. The legal context presupposes a legal procedure. Thus, the psalmist prayed to God, "Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me." [Ps. 7:8 NKJV] This individual knows that they are innocent, and goes to the sanctuary seeking vindication. There God will vindicate the person, or declare them innocent [see Ps. 9:4 / 1 Kings 8:31-32 / Isa. 50:8-9]. If the person is guilty, God will not acquit them [see Ex. 23:7 / Lev. 19:15 / Deut. 16:18]. In such contexts the righteous are declared innocent and the accusers condemned [see 2 Chron. 6:23 / Ps. 7:8-9 / Deut. 25:1]. Therefore, the destruction of the wicked always takes place as a manifestation of God's righteousness on behalf of those whom He vindicates.
This whole issue regarding the correct exegesis of Qodesh and Tsadaq in Daniel is very interesting in context of what Daniel tells us about this very same period of time in the chapter just before this; chapter 7. Remember, chapters and verses are man's artificial indexing of God's Word. This is Daniels continuous writing.
Daniel 7:20 and the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke pompous words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows. 21 I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom. [NKJV]
Daniel 7:25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time. 26 'But the court shall be seated, And they shall take away his dominion, To consume and destroy it forever. 27 Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.' [NKJV]
As we see, the concepts of Qodesh and especially Tsadaq are in plain view in chapter 7. This is the same time period of the power of the beast. He is persecuting the saints. But then the court is seated, and the Ancient of Days pronounces judgment against the beast and his kingdom [I.E. the Day of the Lord]. And the saints are given possession of His Kingdom. Isn't this what happens at the 2nd Coming and subsequent judgment? So with the context of both chapters 7 & 8 taken together, we see that at the completion of the 1150 days, the 2nd Coming and judgment of the beast must occur.
Count End Dates
If 2009 turns out to be the pivotal year, with the events I’ve described occurring, then the end dates of all these counts in 2012 is significant as well.
· If the Purim event happens on 3/9/2009, the 1290 day count wound end on the 2nd day of Rosh Hashanah on 9/18/2012.
· If the Two Witnesses begin to prophesy on Erev Pesach 4/8/2009, the 1260 day count wound also end on the 2nd day of Rosh Hashanah on 9/18/2012.
· If the Two Witnesses are then overcome and killed when their ministry ends on 9/18/2012, 3 ½ days later would be the Sabbath of Return starting Friday 9/21/2012 [the Sabbath between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur]. Interesting name for that Sabbath, because at the end of the 3 ½ days that the Two Witnesses lay dead in the street of Jerusalem they are told to "Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud" [Rev. 11:12].
· If the 1150 day counts start on the 9th of Av on 7/29/2009 because the beast was given authority for 42 months in Sivan [May 24 to June 22, 2009], and now he is causing the abomination of desolation on the day most associated with very bad events for Israel, guess when the count ends? That’s right, on the Sabbath of Return starting Friday 9/21/2012. Remember, we learned that at the completion of the 1150 day count, "Then shall the separateness be made right" or "Then shall the holy be vindicated" [Dan. 8:14]. This on the same day as the “Come up hither”. Can you say 2nd Coming?
· Then a few days go by leading up to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement when the judgment is sealed. Perhaps this is the time needed to seal the 144,000 before approximately 40 days of Divine Judgment [depending on the actual start day relating to Yom Kippur] occur on the earth ending on 11/2/2012. Which just happens to be the day that the 1335 day count that also started on Purim 3/9/2009 ends. And we know that at the end of the 1335 days all has been completed and Daniel will finally receive his inheritance.
· Also, what was happening for the 3 ½ days the Two Witnesses lay dead? “9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a- half days, and not allow F64 their dead bodies to be put into graves. 10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.” [Rev. 11:9-10 NKJV].
· Sounds familiar? “38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” [Matt. 24:38-39 NKJV]. How long did it rain?
Things that make you go hmmmmmm…
