HAPPY ROSH HASHANAH
After learning the significance of the Shemitah and the Fall Feasts, from some great Bible scholars, I was an ardent believer that the Tribulation period would fall in between the two Shemitah cycles, starting on Tishri 1 and have declared such in my book “Asteroid Impact.” A Shemitah cycle has just ended on September 25th.
But for two reasons, I have just recently begun to change my view on this 1/ We still have not seen any sign yet of the antichrist appearing. II Thess. 2:3 states that a) before the rapture the apostasy comes first, we have already seen a trickle of this happening but I believe it will be greatly increased b) the man of lawlessness (antichrist) is revealed. The antichrist first appears on the first of the four horses in Revelation chapter 6. He comes in wearing a crown (he’s a ruler or leader) and carrying a bow (a weapon of war) and he goes forth conquering (in other words his intention is to take territory). Remember, the antichrist has his roots (he may not be living there) in the Middle East (and the Middle East religion), so anyone that does not fit this criterion is not the antichrist!
He is also the mediator who confirms and orchestrates a seven-year peace treaty in the Middle East (Dan. 9:27). This is in fact the MAIN sign of the Tribulation period starting, and the MAIN sign of who the antichrist is! He also only first appears after some catastrophic event, and the opening of the six seals (Rev. 6). A major global economic collapse will be the catalyst to bring in the final eighth world empire (ten horns or ten toes) and its final eighth ruler (who has ruled before Rev. 17:11) and who will rule all ten regions in the second half of the Tribulation period (Rev. 13:5).
The second reason is, only recently I saw, on Sept 09, 2022, Tom Horn’s You Tube video, dated Mar 11, 2020, on the Apophis Asteroid which has given some possible shocking “new” insight into the timing of the Tribulation period? Tom Horn had a vision of an asteroid hitting the earth and was told Apophis. He later researched it and found that NASA had found an asteroid in 2004, that would have a close flyby of earth in 2029, and they named the asteroid Apophis! I too, can confirm seeing a documentary, well over ten years ago, where they said a possible asteroid impact would occur in 2029! This is what convinced me that the “end” of the Tribulation period, and the second coming of Christ, would be in 2029!
But Tom Horn believes this Apophis asteroid is, in fact, Wormwood which is mentioned in Rev. 8:11. He also saw two falling, the first one he saw went into the Pacific Ocean (Rev. 8:8), and then a second one (possibly a piece broken off the main one) impacted the land, near the border of Mexico and California, creating great clouds of smoke and dust (Rev. 8:10).
Now let me just confirm something here, if he is right, and this asteroid Apophis is Wormwood, then this is definitely within the Tribulation period! My theory, which I have stated in my book, is that the "third" star in Rev. 9:1 will fall at the mid-Tribulation point, when the “abomination that makes desolate” (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24:15) is set up in the third Jewish temple, and when the antichrist will control the “whole world” (Rev 13:5). He will also break the seven-year peace treaty and attack Israel, but God will supernaturally protect them for those 42 months (Rev. 12:14). Also remember the mid-Tribulation period falls in the Passover season, in Nisan, our March/April which fits with the prediction that Apophis will hit earth on April 13, 2029.
Another quick point I want to make here, in Jesus’ synopsis in Matthew chapter 24, I noticed this chapter is divided into three sections (vs 4-14) and a possible asteroid impact (parallel to Rev.6). Then (vs 15-31) He focuses on the second half of the Tribulation Period, the Great Tribulation. Thirdly (vs 32-44) He details the signs again and that it will be the same as in the days of Noah (with great flooding). “Indicating that these two separate periods will be the most turbulent during these last days.” And that both these two periods will also be heralded by an asteroid impact! The FIRST one being the sixth seal Rev. 6:12-13?
So, if my speculation that a star (Rev. 9:1) will hit earth in mid-Trib, and if Tom Horn is right that this asteroid is “Wormwood” (possibly falling just before or around the time that the third star falls, in Rev.9:1), then given an exact date, we can now work around this to come up with a YEAR that the Tribulation period will start? We already know that it will start on Tishri 1. This will bring us to Rosh Hashanah, Tishri 1, 2025? A quick sidenote here; it is interesting to note that Matthew chapter 25, and the ten bridesmaids is a parable about the Rapture (the bridegroom arriving for the marriage supper)! Also note only half of the church goes into the marriage supper, the other half are left outside begging to come in!
Passover is on March 31, 2029 and the beginning of the mid-Trib. The end of the Tribulation period is ushered in by the last battle of Armageddon, with the defeat and end of the antichrist and the false prophet and the eighth empire. Then the greatest earthquake in all human history, rending the earth and even causing it to totter and to sway to and fro, and to be moved out of its place (which I believe could be the fourth and final astral body to hit earth, or it could just be Jesus Himself, stepping onto earth?). Announcing the sublimest event in all history, with lightening flashing from east to west – the return of Jesus Christ, with the saints and the angelic hosts, to set up His kingdom on earth and the start of the new millennium! Culminating on Tishri 10, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement on September 15, 2032? (NO: another study on "The Third Day" reveals that the second coming of Christ could be in 2033? Tishri 10, being on October 3, 2033. See chart on "The Third Day").
Bible scholars always wisely warn NOT to set dates as no-one knows God’s perfect calendar and God cannot be put in a box, as He is not confined to time, He dwells in eternity; and He can choose to do whatever He chooses to do! BUT I find this verse very interesting I Thess. 5:4-6, that we, as children of God, are “sons of light,” and that day will not overtake us by surprise, therefore He does show the secret things hidden in the darkness (Dan. 2:22; Isa. 45:3) to His children. AND He did tell us to stay awake, be alert and watch for the signs and the more signs that appear (that Jesus and the word have given us), we CAN become more and more certain, that the great and terrible day of the Lord is approaching soon!
