2018: A New Chapter Begins
Happy New Year to all of our wonderful readers. I have been admittedly quiet the last few weeks, but for good reason: I have welcomed a new child into the world and she has decided to keep me up at night - every night!
We will continue to follow the headlines and present new research in 2018 and there is a lot of ground to cover. What if 2017 was the last complete Gregorian year before Tribulation events begin to unfold? All of the incredible numbers, patterns, and signs in 2017 were heralding events that may soon be fulfilled. The heavenly signs around Jesus' first coming didn't happen all at once and what they heralded took time to occur. There was an announcement, conception, pregnancy, birth, journey of magi, and presentation of the Child in the Temple. The whole course of events took at least a year and, at least to me, the heavenly signs in 2017 still seem utterly convincing and undeniable.
One of the biggest dates on the near horizon is the actual 70th anniversary of the nation of Israel, which is only mere months away. Considering the transition from 2017 to 2018, it occurs to me that '7' is the number of spiritual perfection and completion, but '8' is the number of resurrection and new beginnings. Let's not forget that all of the incredible "coincidences" last year were God-orchestrated and were reminders that the present age's clock is ticking. We will still be in the biblical year that witnessed the Revelation 12 Sign until March or April 2018 and on the Jewish civil calendar (and possibly Jubilee calendar) we are in the same year until next Fall.
At the same time, radical change is unfolding in the Middle East, culminating with Fatah and Hamas reconciliation, the collapse of the ISIS caliphate, the world's vote to divide Jerusalem, Trump's Jerusalem decision in response, the Saudi Arabian regime change, revolution in Iran, and dominoes now starting to fall: after Trump's embassy announcement Guatemala quickly followed suit and rumor is building that some 10 other nations, including Honduras, are considering making the same move. This may very well be the build up towards Israeli sovereignty over the Temple Mount in 2018 and what shortly follows next - the Third Temple.
Maranatha!
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWhat about the full moon? The first full moon on the first day of the year is a super moon.There is another full moon, with an eclipse, on the 31st. The 31st is a "minor" Jewish holiday having to do with the "New Year for trees".
ReplyDeleteChabad.org calls it the "Rosh Hosanna" for trees, and "we attach special significance to this holiday because "Man is [compared to] the tree of the field" (Deuteronomy 20:19). Through cultivating strong roots – faith and commitment to G‑d – we produce many fruits—Torah and Mitzvot."
Don't know for sure, but I thought it was interesting.
If He is coming when we DON'T expect then maybe it's not a major holiday.
Many of us believed that the rapture would happen last Pentecost, when Pentecost was funky come. From a bit of research I found that Pentecost had not fully come until 3 minor ancient Jewish festivals were over, these are not celebrated today I don't believe. They are the feast of new wine, of oil and of new wood. New wine would have been when the Hoky Spirit was given as the apostles were being accused of being drunk on new wine. If it had been in Pentecost then the wine wouldn't have been new (new wine isn't after Pentecost), I found the day of oil, but I was missing the day of the ancient feast of new wood but now think it could be the new year for wood. That's when Pentecost was fully come I think (I could be wrong and I could be way off with Pentecost too, I am not a prophet and his was just a thought). Anyway, it coincides with the last of 3 full super moons and a lunar eclipse of the fully blood blue moon...seems suspicious enough to me. Again I could be wrong but I'll be looking out for it. Check out last 2 videos of revelationchapter12 on YouTube which has great info on the signs in the stars.
DeleteMmmm autocorrect is toying with me. I didn't want to say 'funky' lol I wanted to say fully....
DeleteAlso I wanted to say that new wine falls after Pentecost.
Sorry
Wow @God's child - that is super cool. These new feasts as well all point to Jesus. Thanks for sharing.
Delete......and congrats on the new baby. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Feeling very blessed (:
DeleteHey Gary!!! Congrats & blessings to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you sir!
DeleteHappy New Year,in Christ, and may God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of you the other day while reading an article about the Super Red Blue Moon that occurs at the end of January. Seems like the past few years have been filled with so many unusual signs in the heavens that they have to culminate in something spectacular, tragic or both very soon. Happy New Year and Maranatha.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed! Maranatha!
DeleteThings were CRAZY in 2018. I can't even imagine what is going to happen to the church in 2018! Will be a game changer. Love y'all.
ReplyDeleteTime traveller! Lol
Delete"Things were crazy in 2018".... you meant 2017. My post calling you a time traveler was removed. I was just kidding; I thought the mistake was funny and will probably wind up being ironic/prophetic. Love you too Steve Oh.
DeleteHi again family, I stepped out in obedience and made my one (and probably only lol) YouTube video, it is simply about how to be saved. Feel free to have a look and share if you think it would be of any use.
ReplyDeleteI don't care at all about subs or likes but I'm hoping it can be of help to anyone who needs it.
Here is the link.

God bless you!
Happy New Year to all, and may we meet at the Master's feet in 2018!
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on the new one!
Happy New Year, Greg! Looking forward to more great stuff from you in '18.
DeleteCongratulations on the new baby girl, and how wonderfully are the prophesies coming to pass.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear sister!

ReplyDeleteBut what about all those "Banned user!"? Did they all swear, or all banned people trying to say something anyway? What is that?
Can people not be civilised anymore?
I don't know the particulars on why these individuals were banned. However, the crass, materialistic stuff people do never ceases to amaze me. I, myself, have received sales emails from people who apparently are under the delusion that 'gullible' Christians will buy anything put before them. Some, I imagine, are just so filled with anger towards Christians for standing strong against the immorality of the age that they find pleasure in trolling Christian websites.
DeleteHey @Rebellio I've seen a lot of these comments that are removed and a lot of them are people who are trying to cause trouble. Like if you don't like the content here, why read it? I may have messed up and posted a link to a youtube video and I think my comment was deleted, I'm ok with it as it's probably against site rules (sorry Unsealed!) Either way, the mods on this site are doing us all a favor. I'm thankful for it, I don't need to read anything that doesn't edify the body or lift up Christ.
DeleteAll the banned users' posts you see are from the same two trolls that show up on every article. They are quite incessant even though their comments are blocked.

ReplyDeleteAnnabel,
DeleteLet's hope that we're in the Jubilee Year of our departure and this special year will end in March (on the 17th or 18th of it).
Thank you Nora for your encouragement... In Germany we have a saying that goes like this: "Your word be in Gods ear!" :) watching and waiting...
DeletePlus thinking about it, the Lord put on so many people’s hearts that He is coming soon (especially in the last 2 years, not as simply a hope or wishful thinking but really putting it on their hearts), even one-two years old toddlers are proclaiming His coming (fulfilling prophecy), I believe His return for us can’t be too far away, Sis! :-)
DeleteMy two year old says, "here comes Jesus!" all of the time, unprompted. Its cute and awesome.
DeleteDon't worry, Annabel, the Lord will be right on time. And I can't wait to see all the thrilling things He does in the meantime. I am watching events in Iran closely. I think President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have a surprise coming for Iran. Happy New Year, brothers and sisters.
DeleteA very blessed and happy new year to all! Congratulations on the little one, Gary! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nora!
DeleteCongratulations on your newborn, what a gift, even if it keeps you awake in the nights. That is over again. I welcome your new message and keep looking forward to the moment we are picked up. You too a blessed 2018 from the Netherlands.
ReplyDeleteCarla
Thank you!
DeleteThumbs up! So much to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on the little one, our prayers are with you until she starts doing her nights, lol.
Yes, yes! Oh, I can't wait. But in the meantime I'm just praying for peace and patience... and rest even when going on a few hours of sleep at a time.
DeleteCongrats and thank you, again. A Blessing this space has been to all and His Hand will Provide and Carry You, Amen Maranatha!
ReplyDeleteThank you... and thank you for the prayer. Maranatha!
DeleteGary,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new arrival! She was picked just for you and you for her! Enjoy her as I know you will both love her with all your heart!
Happy New Year 2018,
Pastor Rich
Thank you, Pastor Rich! We're blessed to have you here.
DeleteSome factors and perspectives less known but that should be known and that do render 2018 special: "Peace and Security and the Antichrist Maybe" https://wp.me/p2v96G-ZR

Here we all are, in a brand new year. All of the "signs" meant nothing. Nothing that happens in the sky, short of a trumpet heard round the world, means anything. I hope to see your posts over the coming months.
