The Key of David, a Darkened Sun, and a Blood-Red Moon
The key of David unlocks the door of our departure and unseals a long-hidden mystery. Tune in for a detailed theological discussion about the connection between the Davidic covenant, Jesus Christ, and the Church. Jeff and Gary present a comprehensive thread linking Old Testament prophecies to New Testament fulfillment, emphasizing how Jesus builds a spiritual house (the Church) as promised to David. They discuss how the Abrahamic and Davidic covenants include promises that apply to the Church, while the Mosaic law was specific to Israel. The conversation concludes with an exploration of how Jesus fulfills the role of both king and priest, and how this relates to the Church’s position in Heaven as described in Revelation. The discussion concludes with a look into upcoming signs in the heavens before the Day of the Lord, as mentioned in Joel 2:30–31.

Thank you for the info Pastor Rich. I have really liked your contribution of comments to this webpage over the years!
DeleteThinking about Prophet Moses and King David brought similarities to mind. They both had goals that were not to be satisfied, but they each have a role to play in far greater things to come.
ReplyDeleteMoses had his heart set on the promised land, but when his Creator laid him to rest on that mountain, I am quite sure he was given comforting, reassuring words and a thrilling vision of the much better promises. He was humbled in the process, but it was so worth it!
King David wanted to build an earthly temple for the Celestial Father, but had to accept a different scenario. The trajectory toward the culmination of Yahweh’s Plan would take more time than either he or Moses would have imagined. Both of these key men had to be humbled before their glorification, as will we. Abba’s Plan is so much higher than our thoughts can even begin to imagine.
If our aspiration is to rule and reign with Messiah, we need to walk alongside in full agreement with the rules He affirmed. What father would fail to give guidance; what teacher would fail to instruct? Messiah was in perfect alignment with His Father. They are the final Word and the final Work. Maranatha!

We are witnessing the birth of the 10 nations Revived Roman Empire in which Turkey will also be part of it.
The blood moon taking place on 3/13 and 3/14 will appear in all 50 US states, the last blood moon to do so until 2029. This blood moon takes place on the eve of the Ides of March, a date notorious in history as the date when Julius Caesar was assassinated in the Senate in Rome. Tomorrow the US Senate will be deciding whether or not to shut the government down. If the Senate doesn't approve the House's funding bill the government will shut down on Saturday. Caesar was assassinated because he was viewed by his opponents as a nascent dictator and a threat to the republic. His assassination spiraled Rome into civil wars and an eventual morphing of the republic into an empire headed by an emperor. The blood moon will first appear over seven-hilled Washington DC at 2:26 a.m. EST. Kamala Harris got 226 electoral votes in her losing presidential campaign last year.

The Ides of March passes with no Senate attempt to take down Trump and Musk. As with Harris's 226 electoral votes, the Senate could only muster 46 votes to deny the passage of the House's budget bill. Another similarity between Reagan and Trump is that people called Reagan the "Teflon president" and people often call Trump the "Teflon Don" because attempts to end his ascent to power seemingly bounce off and only leave him stronger.
I watched the whole video made by Gary and Jeff and it is very interesting, indeed a great discovery by Jeff of the mystery of the church being prophesied right from Moses to Malachi and explained by the apostels of the New Testament. Thank you Gary and Jeff for explaining this to us.
ReplyDeleteI made a discovery about the date 11/11 which seems to be confirmed even from the Bible. We don't know the year and it's not the date of the rapture but according to pastor Phillip Barnett it's the date of judgment for the US (and others) shortly after the rapture. Because they made the Mayflower compact (covenant) on that date, but the recent generations broke that covenant with God and therefore judgment will come on the same date. When I prayed about it, I believe it was confirmed to me, even from the Bible.
ReplyDeleteFrom my own Bible studies I learned that there were 2 rebellious kings of Judah, just before the destruction of Jerusalem, who both reigned 11 years and they were separated by one king (Jehoiachin) who reigned only 3 months. So, we've got 11 years / 3 months / 11 years until the destruction of Jerusalem, followed by 70 years captivity. Take this 70-year-captivity (in which Jerusalem was burned with fire) as a shadow type of 7-year tribulation that is soon coming over this world. So here the date 11/11 is paralleled by the two 11 years periods of both, king Jehoakim and Zedekiah, right before the captivity.
Besides this the prophet Jeremiah (ch.24) also explains that the first group of captives were the good figs, and they were carried away to Babylon first to preserve them (type of the church). The last group of captives (the bad figs) experienced the destruction of Jerusalem, and these are a type of the sinners who will miss the rapture but later repent and believe in Christ. They will have to go through the great tribulation, laying down their lives for their testimony to Jesus.
Now the Holy Spirit filled Christian today, will not have to witness the destruction of the US (and other nations) which will happen on a 11/11 date some year, but they will be raptured before that day and before the tribulation. Because they are like the good figs in Jer.24

DeleteThese extra-Biblical prophecies can be intriguing, but I don't trust them. I also don't ignore them. The Prophecy of the Popes, for example, is interesting right now, as well, given the Pope's health issues.
DeleteRegarding Phillip Barnett's visions, and as I posted earlier, IF it were 11/11 of this year . . .
. . . that would pretty much make asteroid Apophis the prime candidate for the 2nd or 3rd Trumpet Judgment (Wormwood.) And that would almost be the exact middle of the Tribulation . . . which would give the god-like AntiChrist every reason to be standing in any newly-rebuilt Temple. It would also be another 3.5 years until asteroid YR4 in 2032.
Sadly, none of this is reason enough to quit my current job and take a months-long gospel-spreading vacation. LOL
Jeremy
Very interesting finds Abel. I will have to go digging on that myself. Thank you!
DeleteExtra-Biblical is just that, extra-Biblical. Some of it is referenced in the Bible and some of it is pure history which is useful in and of itself. Prophetic dreams, as in the case of Ps Barnett are interesting, *BUT* when they happen to come true (as in his case) that gives one pause to think.
I have 11/11/25 noted as potential WWIII going nuclear on my calendar study for this year. Ps Phillip said that the harpazo would be a month or two before the 11/11 event. That is a fit for the model for this year as well. I leave it at that.
Maranatha!
PS, You're right about Apophis, Jeremy. It's arrival is EXACTLY in the midpoint of the 70th week, TO THE DAY, according to the Essene calendar if for a 2032 Second Coming on Yom Kippur (Essene).

Note that it's 666 upside down, followed by the exact number of months (42) that he, the AntiChrist, has left, after the asteroid strike, to pursue the Jews during the time of Jacob's Trouble.

And let's not forget that a well- known prophet of sorts, Tom Horn, himself, believed that he was shown that Apophis was, indeed, Wormwood.

I should add this . . .
DeleteJust recently, Israeli politicians were speaking openly in the news and lamenting the fact that their nation has NEVER exceeded the 80 year-mark as a unified country.
They fully intend to do so now . . . but they still rebel against Jesus.
When is the 80th birthday of Israel?
May 14th, 2028
And what happens at the end of that 80th year?
Apophis. The AntiChrist. The middle of the Tribulation. and the flight of the people from their nation, yet again.
Yet is the strength of the Israelites labor and sorrow, for they are cut off and fly away.
Just a guess, of course.
Jeremy
I think it's interesting that wormwood gets rid of parasites. The destroyers will be destroyed Just part of the cleanup.
DeleteThat's pretty awesome and insightful. Thank you for sharing it, because my mind would not have led me to that, and it's really amazing that it fits so well.
DeleteJeremy
Hi Jeremy,
DeleteYes, I believe that (Psalm 90:10) and (Revelation 12:14) speak of the same event. It is not the harpazo, rather it is the flight of the woman into the wilderness in the last 42 months of the 70th year of Daniel. The resurrection/rapture would have happened well before as we all know that the man-child will be take up to God and His throne prior to her flight to safety.
PS, Yes, that time is also marked by the Second Woe and after the full 1,260 day ministry of the two witnesses.
Deletehttps://youtu.be/020oWuFq0kI?feature=shared
ReplyDeleteHonestly, and if you asked me, I would offer that Aaron is one of the best watchmen on the wall when it comes to his models and quick studies. IMHO, he's right on track concerning a 2025 harpazo although my studies solidly point to a Fall event not Spring.
DeleteIf any are wondering if the 2025 model indicates any specific dates? Yes, there are two, both of them in September.
A CHANGE OF SEASONS
ReplyDeleteI don't often talk about my personal life here as I prefer to encourage and point others to Christ. It seems fitting to share with you today that our family is in a two-part time of transition. Our full-time ministry partner of many, many years has left the field we shared. God has blessed to replant and we are growing again. It's as though God made a cutting of us to root and replant -- a wonderful thing! That's good news. The sad news is that my elderly mother is in declining health and I have taken over her affairs.
It would be easy to say, "It's a time of prayer, listening and discernment" -- but when isn't it a time of prayer, listening and discernment? The Spirit teaches us to pray ceaselessly! We're praying through all of this change and change of season in the world at large. We welcome your prayers as you feel led for our family and our next steps.
Blessings, always,

DeleteIt's my fault for only pasting the link above. I ran out of time. So, I'll leave it here, again, and suggest that you check it out. All credit to Aaron at God A Minute?
If you freeze Aaron's video at 3:35, you will be able to read his breakdown of enumerated verses from the Old Testament book of Exodus.
Pay particular attention to verses 2028-2031. If the totaled verses were, in fact, representative of the events in each upcoming year, then you can see the "wilderness" and "eagles' wings" brought up in each of the passages that would reflect a "Great Tribulation" (second half) starting with the end of 2028 and beginning of 2029 (Apophis.) This matches Revelation 12 perfectly. And, as Pastor Rich says, it lines up well with a Rapture this year and a mid-point 4 years from now.
But I really like a few of the passages.
2025, where Moses chooses those who will become rulers and heads of people, just like Jesus makes kings and priests after the Rapture.
In 2032, He speaks of obeying His voice and keeping His covenant, and He says very clearly that "all the earth is mine" . . . just as we expect to hear when Jesus makes His physical Second Coming. Very suggestive of a seven-year countdown starting this year.
And then note his 2033rd verse . . . He will make a kingdom of priests and a holy nation . . . and this is a direct corollary to Revelation 5:10 which states that He will "have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”
Reigning on the earth sounds pretty Millennial Kingdom to me.
Pretty cool. Thank you, Aaron! And thanks for the clues, Lord!
Jeremy
Praying for you and yours, PR. Praying for the best seasonal change EVER.
(continued below)
I know I sound like a stick in the mud, and that I have to keep revising my own failed and limited interpretations of this, but I just can't help seeing significance in this model that someone else pointed me to a long time ago.
DeleteIf a limited nuclear exchange were to happen this fall, and the Jewish nation were to be hoodwinked by an up-and-coming AntiChrist, please note how closely this matches the next four years . . .
Hebrew Concordance for each of the next 4 Hebrew years:
"5786" (starts Fall 2025) “to make blind, blind”
"5787" (starts Fall 2026) “blind”
"5788" (starts Fall 2027) “blindness”
"5789" (starts Fall 2028) “to lend aid, come to help”
The first three might be referring to Romans 11:25 . . . "that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in." And, at that point, the baton is handed to the AntiChrist, to pursue the Jews with all his might.
And the last Hebrew year might be referring to Revelation 12:14 . . . "And to the woman [Israel] were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent." That certainly sounds like someone lending aid.
And now the Hebrew concordance references for the Gentile nations:
2026 “To kill, slay”
2027 “A slaughter”
2028 “A slaughter”
WWIII starting in November 2025?
Thank God it's not in our hands.
Jeremy
Thank you for your prayers, Jeremy. Thank you!
DeleteHave you tried plugging in Essene calendar years? Speaking of which, did you know that this year is a Jubilee year according to the Essene calendar? It's 5950 AM per the Essene/Zadok calendar -- how appropriate if Jesus came this year.
That's a great idea!
DeleteHebrew concordance for Essene years . . .
5950 (2025) "a deed" . . . Jesus receiving the title deed to the Earth?
5951 (2026) "exultation" . . . the multitudes around the throne?
5952 (2027) "a roof chamber" . . . an upper room prepared by Him?
5953 (2028) "abuse" . . . the beginning of Great Wrath?
5954 (2029) "to go or come in" . . . the Jewish nation making its choice?
5955 (2030) "a gleaning" . . . gathering the newly saved, bit by bit?
5956 (2031) "to conceal" . . . the fourth trumpet judgment hiding 1/3 of the sky?
5957 (2032) "perpetuity, antiquity" . . . the Alpha and Omega ruling forever on earth?
Sometimes, it really hits me when I consider the magnitude and weight of the events that I believe are at our doorstep. Sobering and sad, hopeful and joyful.
Jeremy
Yes, VERY interest and sobering. Finding Apophis at the exact midpoint of the model has me looking harder at that coming event -- including a look at what Tom Horn had to say on the matter. I believe he said that Apophis would impact in the Pacific Ocean and trigger the ring of fire fault lines and volcanic mountain systems. That's about 1/3 of the oceans if to think out loud.
DeleteMuch more study to be done.
Maranatha!

Maybe I'm being too practical, here, but every time that it came up . . . the discussion about wormwood, or even the hypothetical asteroid that may, or may not, have caused the great flood, that may or may not have caused the destruction of most dinosaurs . . . Lol . . . that these events must be western hemisphere events. (Somewhere in the pacific would be perfect.)

AN INTERESTING & TIMELY FIND
ReplyDeleteThe Sun EXPLODES with an INSANE PLASMA OUTBURST as GLOBAL SEISMIC SWARM Begins
Hmmm...
PS, I don't know the first thing about this YT'er and do not follow him. It's just a random find that I found *interesting* and thought I would share.
DeleteMost people would not find this prophetic, or even interesting, but . . .
DeleteThe next "most likely" date for the explosion of T. Coronae Borealis, aka the Blaze Star, is slated for the evening of November 10th, according to one astronomer. And that places it on the evening before Pastor Barnett's November 11th nuclear exchange, if this is the proper year.
Not only that, but it is accepted that every time it gets to roughly 80 years, it explodes with regularity. Just like Israel. And each life cycle, or generation, of the blaze star that surpasses 80 years is doing so under increased pressure and heat. Or, as Psalm 90:10 would put it . . . trouble and sorrow.
"Our days may come to seventy years,
or eighty, if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away."
A sign in the sun, moon, and stars? A tribulation kick-off?
Might I suggest we focus on the rest of that Psalm?

Psalm 90

Have compassion on your servants.
14 [SATISFY US IN THE MORNING] with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have [AFFLICTED] us,

establish the work of our hands for us—
yes, establish the work of our hands.
Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the [SHELTER] of the Most High
will [REST] in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is [MY REFUGE] and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will [SAVE] you
from the [FOWLER'S SNARE]
and from the deadly [PESTILENCE].
4 He will [COVER] you with his feathers,
and under his [WINGS] you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the [TERROR] of night,
nor the [ARROW] that flies by day,
6 nor the [PESTILENCE] that stalks in the [DARKNESS],
nor the [PLAGUE] that destroys at midday.
7 A [THOUSAND] may fall at your side,
[TEN THOUSAND] at your [RIGHT HAND],
but it will [NOT] come near you.
8 You will [ONLY OBSERVE] with your eyes
and see the [PUNISHMENT OF THE WICKED].
9 If you say, “The [LORD IS MY REFUGE] ,”
and you make the Most High your [DWELLING],
10 [NO HARM] will overtake [YOU],
no disaster will come near [YOUR TENT].
11 For he will command [HIS ANGELS] concerning you
to [GUARD YOU] in all your ways;
12 they will [LIFT YOU UP] in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will [TREAD] on the lion and the [COBRA];
you will [TRAMPLE] the great lion and the [SERPENT].
14 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will [RESCUE] him;

I will be with him in [TROUBLE],
I will [DELIVER HIM AND HONOR HIM].
16 With[LONG LIFE] I will satisfy him
and show him my [SALVATION].”
Can we agree that the verses centered on 80 years seem to have an end-timey feel to them? That double-forty is significant when measuring and marking time? And that an 80-year star deserves more than the "blink of an eye?"

DeleteAnd maybe read it, again, while focusing on the difference between his children (the church aka Bride of Christ?) and his servants (the Jewish nation?) Maybe note the subtle differences in pronoun usage . . . the "he's" and "you's." Those things matter when a Psalm is written to only one group (the Jews) . . . but that group will splinter into two distinct factions in the future. Those who believe in the Messiah's completed work. And those who don't. There is a distinction in the writing.
