“Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years” Genesis 1:14

“When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained”  Psalm 8:3 …ordained here = appointed…or appointed times – Moedim or Moed - a fixed time. 
The Sun, Moon and Stars were placed in the heavenlies so we would know and understand God’s appointed times.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.

There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.  Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”  Psalm 19:1–4

On June 30th and July 1st the planets Jupiter and Venus will be so close together that it will appear as if they are one great star, according to 'Sky & Telescope' magazine.  One hour after sunset on June 30th the two planets will be only 1/3rd of a degree apart.

The two planets have been getting closer together over the past two weeks as Venus closes in on Jupiter on June 30th.  This will not only be a brilliant sight in the western night sky, just after sunset, but it also has Christological significance.  The reason so is because it will resemble the celestial event that happened just before the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.  This could be a "sign" as we look toward Rosh HaShanah or Feast of Trumpets.  Dr. Ernest Martin, author of the book, 'The Star of Bethlehem - The Star That Astonished The World", in which Dr. Martin states that Jesus was born on the Feast of Trumpets in 3 BC - September 11, 3 BC.

This very rare 2015 conjunction offers us an opportunity to witness an almost identical view that the Magi observed and followed.  They were watching the paths of Venus and Jupiter very closely since the prophet Daniel had prophesied the date of the coming of the Messiah.  They joined together in the Constellation of Leo in what is believed to be the Star of Bethlehem.  According to Christian astronomers Venus represents the Bride of Christ; and Jupiter, also known as the King Star, represents Messiah, the Bridegroom.  Their symbolic union represents the Messiah in His reign on Earth, as Leo indicates.  The Magi anticipated His coming as the Redeemer and King.  Now, we look forward to or anticipate His coming as King and Bridegroom.  In short, this conjunction tells all who have eyes to see that the promise of reigning with Him as His Bride will be given to those who chase the Lord and catch Him.

There may well be prophetic implications for this conjunction, as this sign will take place on the night of June 30th and early in the morning of July 1st.  July 1st (7/1) has always been a date for us to be watching, because it is a sign of the coming Feast of Trumpets, or Rosh HaShanah (1).  Keep in mind that Jesus was born on the Feast of Trumpets, September 11th, 3 BC., and that the Feast of Trumpets is also the prophesied day (the so called "unknown day" of Matthew 25:13) for the resurrection of the dead.  It appears that this conjunction could be a sign of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture or Resurrection (new birth).  Does God do anything by chance? God "worketh all things after the counsel of his own will" (Ephesians 1:11), so is it not prophetic that this “sign” (as described herein) falls exactly on 7/1, the reminder date of the Feast of Trumpets!

Some websites (http://newsok.com/star-of-bethlehem-jupiter-and-venus-converge-for-the-first-time-in-2000-years/article/5430414) are reporting that there has not been a brighter, closer planetary conjunction of Jupiter and Venus for over 2,000 years – since the Star of Bethlehem!!

When we think of how closely this conjunction resembles the one that the magi witnessed and then we combine that with the prophetic implications of other current celestial events occurring in 2015 (see http://watchmansview.com/Signs_%26_Wonders_of_GOD.html), we can’t help but lift up our eyes and see that our redemption is drawing nigh!

(1)  The “Appointed time” / “Feast” of Trumpets – Lev. 23:24,25  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall you have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.  Note the 7th month on the Hebrew calendar this year is in September (and different year to year) - on our Gregorian calendar, July 1 or 7/1 is thus a reminder of Lev. 23:24,25.

“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
… “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.” Daniel 12:4,9 ...IS THIS THE TIME THAT GOD’s SIGNS ARE TO BE UNDERSTOOD?

“He who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I am coming quickly.’ Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!”  Revelation 22:20 ~ MARANATHA!

TIME IS SHORT (Romans 13:11) - WAKE-UP CHURCH! (Ephesians 5:14) Look-Up! (Luke 21:28, Buckle-Up! (Ephesians 6:13), because we are Going-Up! (I Thessalonians 4:16-17) SOON! (Revelation 22:12)

Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, a leading authority in mainstream Ultra-Orthodox Judaism, has been giving clear and unequivocal messages recently that the coming of the Messiah is imminent. He is urging Jews to make Aliyah as soon as possible. Aliyah, the Hebrew verb for “going up”, refers to immigrating to Israel, which is seen as higher spiritual action that can help herald in the coming of the Messiah.

It was reported that the Rabbi Kanievsky was presented with a pamphlet, written by Rabbi Yitzchak Ben Tzvi from the city of Bnei Brak, dealing with the End of Days and many other related prophecies. Rabbi Kanievsky, who is a pillar of the Jewish community and known for his authoritative books on Torah law, read the pamphlet carefully. After a short consideration, he told those around him that the pamphlet needed to be distributed and that Jews living outside Israel should return to their ancestral land.

In yet another instance of Rabbi Kanievsky’s call for aliyah, author Rabbi Yekutiel Fisch revealed advice that was given to his cousin, a teacher at a prominent Lakewood Yeshiva who visited Israel recently and went to Rabbi Kanievsky to receive a blessing at the end of his visit.

The Rabbi told him that he should not leave Israel because the Messiah would be arriving very soon. The teacher responded that he had 700 students waiting for him in Lakewood. Rabbi Kanievsky told him that he must bring all of the students to Israel. Upon his arrival in Lakewood, the story spread quickly, creating quite an impression on the students who all revere Rabbi Kanievsky.

After a lifetime of immersing himself in classical Jewish texts, Rabbi Kanievsky’s study partner informed various media sites that the Rabbi is talking about the messiah “all the time.” Since last summer’s war in Gaza, the Rabbi has been spreading this message of imminent return. In one instance, Rabbi Kanievsky instructed a Jew from Argentina who asked for a blessing that he should “gather your family and come to Israel. Otherwise, there won’t be enough room for you on the airplanes.”

When asked about the timing of the Messiah’s arrival, Rabbi Kanievsky answered, “At the end of the Sabbatical year.” Several people have asked the Rabbi to verify this and he has given the same answer each time. This year is the Sabbatical year and it will be ending on the 29th day of Elul, which, by the Gregorian calendar falls on Saturday, September 12, 2015.

In answer to Rabbi Kanievsky’s call, the Jews of France have begun to arrive in Israel in blessed droves. The impetus is certainly a reaction to increasing anti-Semitic and Islamic fueled violence across Europe.

After the horrific terror attack at a Kosher market in Paris six months ago, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu urged French Jews to come home to Israel. His remarks drew criticism from some, however last week, in the wake of Ramadan violence in several countries including France, Zeev Elkin, the Israeli Minister of Immigration and Absorption, called on French Jews to make Aliyah, echoing his leader’s words.

“Come home! Anti-Semitism is growing, terrorism is on the rise and the sickly ISIS activists carry out murders in the light of day. We are prepared to accept the Jews of France with open arms,” he said.

Last year, 7,000 French Jews made aliyah to Israel, making it the number one country of origin for new immigrants. The Jewish Agency and the Ministry for Aliyah and Immigrant Absorption are expecting more than 3,000 French Jews to immigrate to Israel this summer alone, many of them families with children who want to arrive and integrate before the beginning of the school year.

It should be noted that it is considered a positive trait to always be anticipating the Messiah. The Chofetz Chaim, Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan, a great Torah sage, is told to have said that any time he heard a loud noise, he would say, “Perhaps the Messiah has arrived?” Similar stories have also been told of the leading Moroccan Kabbalist, the Baba Sali, Rabbi Israel Abuhaseira.

“The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam [Iran], in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, “Thus says the Lord of hosts:

‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam [Iran],

The foremost of their might.

Against Elam [Iran] I will bring the four winds

From the four quarters of heaven,

And scatter them toward all those winds;

There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam [Iran] will not go.

I will bring disaster upon them,

My fierce anger,’ says the Lord;

IDF Readies Iran Strike Team Should Nuclear Talks Fail

A self-imposed deadline has come and gone without a nuclear deal, but Israel is not waiting around to see how the US and five other countries secure the world from the threat of Iran. Instead, Walla! reported, the Israel Defense Force has appointed a special team to plan for a potential strike at the Islamic Republic’s nuclear targets if needed… “In the end, we don’t believe Iran. We don’t believe the (nuclear) project will be stopped. Therefore the (military) option will remain…We need to be ready also for the day in which Israel will need to make decisions alone… http://www.breakingisraelnews.com/44604/idf-appoints-special-team-plan-iran-strike/#WQTsA928RhuCtyd0.97

Netanyahu: What's happening in Iran talks is a breakdown, not a breakthrough

Speaking at the opening of the weekly cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said that "what's coming out of the nuclear talks in Vienna is not a breakthrough, it's a breakdown."  Netanyahu said that the world powers were conceding more and more with each passing day.  The emerging deal "will pave Iran's way to produce the cores of many atomic bombs and it will also flood Iran with hundreds of millions of dollars that will serve it in its aggression and its mission of terror in the region and the world," the prime minister warned. Netanyahu claimed that the emerging deal with Iran was worse than the nuclear deal that had been signed with North Korea which led to Pyongyang obtaining an arsenal of nuclear weapons… http://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Netanyahu-Whats-happening-in-Iran-talks-is-a-breakdown-not-a-breakthrough-408034

Top Israeli official: Nuke deal will set up Iran to take over Middle East

The prospective nuclear deal with Iran would empower it to take over the Middle East and trigger a regional nuclear arms race, a senior Israeli official warned in an interview published Friday… He said the lifting of sanctions would give Tehran “an ocean of money,” allowing it to buy influence across the Middle East and “advance to a position where no one will be able to threaten it and it will acquire control wherever it pleases.”… Iran is not something, in Israel’s view, which can be tolerated… http://www.timesofisrael.com/top-israeli-official-nuke-deal-will-set-up-iran-to-take-over-middle-east/

COUNTDOWN TO THE LAST HARVEST

The 4th Watch of the Night leading to the New Dawn of Light

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work. "Do you not say, 'There are yet 4 months, and then comes the Harvest '? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest. Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together”  John 4:34-36

The purpose of this study and illustration is to layout astronomically the 4 total lunar eclipses that make up the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-15 based on the 4 Watches of the Jewish night 12 hourly count of time. The chart accompanying this study (http://nebula.wsimg.com/8c60aec4f4aeffbe518822d7a602d284?AccessKeyId=D40106E1331C24ABD7C3&disposition=0&alloworigin=1) seeks to show the possible patterns of just how the 4 lunar eclipses or Tetrad are juxtaposed to the Jewish year count. The Tetrad Clock is based on the Creator’s time schedule of 12 months reflecting the 12 hours of the night. Why this could be prophetically significant is that the 4 months that Jesus referenced to the end of a harvest is perhaps prophetic code for a countdown to when the ‘harvesting of the Bride’ is to take place; if not in 2015 then perhaps in a future year that will have similar celestial signs corresponding the 4th Watch.

The point being that no year in the foreseeable future has such a convergence of signs as seen in the Fall of 2015, with its corresponding 4th Watch and final total (Super) Blood Moon of the Tetrad. Each of the remaining 3 Holy Feasts of Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot [fall feasts] correspond to a celestial event and/or an eclipse that are UNPRECEDENTED. Rosh HaShanah on September 13, 2015 will start the ‘Year of Light’ 5776 [Hebrew calendar] that is accompanied by a partial solar eclipse. It is also the 7th Sabbatical cycle of 7 years. Yom Kippur on September 23, 2015 thus will correspond to when the Jubilee [year] is to be proclaimed based on the completion of the 49th year since the Temple Mount was liberated in Jerusalem [1967]. Yom Kippur is the time of the unveiling when Mankind can approach the presence of YHVH face to face and it occurs exactly on the Fall Equinox. Then Sukkot on September 28, 2015 will have the final 4th Blood Moon that is a Super Moon and concludes in the end of the years’ harvests [and is the only blood moon of this tetrad seen in Israel].

In each of these Holy Convocations of YHVH, the rehearsals depict a facet of the Rapture of the Groom Jesus and the Bride. This studies focus is on Sukkot as an alternative timing and possible sequence related to the Rapture that may not have been seen before. The emphases will be on the 4-month countdown because the last harvest concludes on Sukkot. It is the time of the in-gathering of the last harvest and the ceasing of the labor of the workmen in the fields and vineyards. Thus this study strongly suggests that the 4-month harvest countdown starting June 1, 2015, concludes with the Feast of Sukkot, and “could” be related to the fulfillment of the Rapture is some way by then.

This Tetrad Clock alignment is suggesting that there is a convergence of synchronized schedules of times. These are the 7-day week, the 7 Holy Feasts, the 12-hour time of night and the 12 monthly segments of a year. The emphasis of this study and illustration will be on the 4th Watch as that is the darkest time just before the break of dawn, a new day of light. It is suggested that in terms of the Church history and the Bride of Christ, this time in these Last Days have been the darkest since Pentecost 50 days after Jesus’ resurrection.

The 2014-2015 4 Blood Moons (in addition to all being on holy feast days) also correspond to the Solstices and the Equinoxes of the general year. What this pattern suggests is that the 4th Watch that corresponds to the 4th Blood Moon is the final one that happens to emphasize several layers of fulfillment: 1) It will be a Super Moon; 2) It will be on Sukkot that signifies the last harvest of YHVH’s Biblical year cycle; 3) It is an in-gathering of the fruit where the Feast lasts 7 days in which booths are constructed and on the 8th Day, the King of Israel salutes the Assembly on Mt. Zion.

Has the prophetic ‘day’ of the last harvest finally come and the Bride ceases from her labor in the vineyard and field as she is gathered in, gathered up literally? The last hour just before the break of dawn will be the 11th hour. This hour is often referred to and referenced as the last moment of salvation or decision to be made before ‘time’ runs out.

This study is not insinuating that the Rapture will occur on or by Sukkot 2015 but that based on the 4-month countdown synchronized to the Tetrad Clock, it is a high watch time, that has some UNPRECEDENTED signatures or characteristics.

The Testimony of YHVH’s true Bride and her light will shine until the very last day of the harvest to come. Even if it means like an Esther in this 11th hour of harvesting time, if she perish, she perishes knowing that to ‘live is Christ, to die is gain’. No one is seeking martyrdom or should, but dark days are ahead based on all signs converging in the Fall of 2015, the world will not be the same thereafter. The time of the 4th Watch and 4 month countdown is just the calm before the storm. It will not be business and life as usual for Christians especially as it will cost many to be identified as ones. It would be wonderful if the Blessed Hope did finally occur in the Fall of 2015. It would appear to be in sync with what is planned next by the Luciferian global minions that will implement their Satanic agenda to enslave the world, economically, politically, religiously and psychologically.

This is Addendum #2 (AD #2) to our series on 2015 AWESOME SIGNS, WONDERS & INSIGHTS – see all 12 of the 2015 Awesome Signs, Wonders & Insights at: http://watchmansview.com/Signs_%26_Wonders_of_GOD.html

TIME IS SHORT (Romans 13:11) - WAKE-UP CHURCH! (Ephesians 5:14) Look-Up! (Luke 21:28, Buckle-Up! (Ephesians 6:13), because we are Going-Up! (I Thessalonians 4:16-17) SOON! (Revelation 22:12)

So, actually, what do we know from scripture regarding Israel in the last days? We know that the land will be divided (Joel 3:2) and that the Third Temple will be built, which the pseudo-Messiah will profane (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 11:1-2). The word used for “abomination” in this portion of Daniel is “shiqoots,” or, meaning “disgusting.”

Concerning this profaning, we have two examples in history of such “profaning,” the first example being the setting up of a statue of Zeus in the First Temple by Antiochus Epiphanes. The second example is of Titus having carnal knowledge of two prostitutes on the altar with a Torah scroll rolled out beneath them. Daniel was not kidding about the “disgusting” part. “Shiqoots” of the Temple is not limited to history, however, for we can see the Dome of the Rock sitting where the Temple once sat, complete with a sign announcing that Elohim has no son. Perhaps this is the greatest shiqoots in Temple history.

What else do we know about Israel in the last days? We know that Jerusalem will be a cup of staggering to all nations and that all nations will gather against her. In response, Yehovah Himself will strike them down, for Jerusalem is the apple of Yahweh’s eye.

What is Jerusalem’s part in all of this? Has she been unfairly attacked just because Yahweh loves her? Isaiah alludes to her part, her sins, and that her hardship has been/will be punishment rather than any injustice. John calls Jerusalem, i.e., “where the Lord was crucified,” “Sodom” and “Egypt.” Why would John call Jerusalem such accursed names?

What have they done or what are they doing to warrant such address? That is the focus of this article. I am raising issues for our awareness, so we know how to pray, how to interpret, and how to reckon the timeline.

1.    The Timeline.   In Daniel 9, we see the basic elements of a., a ruler who will come, strengthening a covenant (definition) c., with the “many” (rabim, rabble, nations of the world?) d., for 7 years. If we have all of these 4 elements, I urge everyone to take a serious look for this looks very much like the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel. If this is the case, the horses will soon ride globally.

What we have on our plates right now is Israel asking for a 5-7 year treaty and Obama pushing for a 7-year treaty. The Oslo Accord was signed in September of 1993 and was revoked just short of 7 years later, being signed on Elul 27 and was revoked before sundown on Elul 28 seven years later when Ariel Sharon ascended the Temple Mount to pray for the return of Israel. Here’s a Gregorian-to-Hillel converter to help with the calculations.

So, we have the element of “covenant” and the element of “7 years.” Is there any more evidence of the element of a “covenant”?

2    New Checkpoints. I have had contact with Steven ben Denoon, who is an Israeli citizen who lives in Israel 9 months of the year and is a Messianic Jew. He was on the Hebrew Nation Radio Thursday Morning Show on July 2, 2015, to discuss the new checkpoints and highway changes in Israel recently. He will again appear on this radio program July 23, 2015.

Steven states that for the past 4 years or so, authorities in Israel have been widening Highway 1 from Tel Aviv (the site of the main airport in Israel, Ben Gurion Airport) to Jerusalem. Now, within the past year or so, Steven reports that first the arches appeared, then the remainder of the checkpoint. He has taken pictures of the size of the electrical/electronic capability to the checkpoint, a detail that he concludes is evidence of a sophisticated, passport-checking, high-volume checkpoint.

The truly upsetting aspect of the above is that Hwy. 1 from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is completely within Jewish held, occupied, ruled, and unchallenged territory. Hitherto, checkpoints have only been established between Arab occupied and Jewish occupied parcels. Why build checkpoints between Jewish held land and a Jewish held city, Jerusalem? Is the answer simple? Does the answer reflect the decision of our own Supreme Court? Is the answer that Jerusalem has already been established as an international city, sovereign from Israel and under another’s rule and authority?

Steven reports that many Israelis are concerned, but, just like America, they’re not rebelling because they still have goods, peace, and services.

Below are some photos that were taken by Steven ben DeNoon:

Above: The arches on Hwy 1 first appear on the newly widened highway from the major airport to Jerusalem.

Above: The arches began to take shape, revealing a functioning, barricaded checkpoint.

Above: The size of the cables reveal a checkpoint that will have sophisticated resources.

Is Steven ben DeNoon the only one noticing and calling attention to these new barricades? No. Pastor Paul Begley, and earnest watchman, interviews Israel citizen, Simantov Allaloof, who has also watched the new construction and raises the same questions as ben DeNoon.

Above: The new high-speed light rail train between Ben Gurion Airport and Jerusalem.  

“Why,” asks ben De Noon, “does Israel need an entirely new system between the airport and Jerusalem? Buses are adequate. Is Israel going to see a great influx of visitors? From where?” Then, he wonders aloud concerning just what would make Jerusalem such a magnet for such a sizable increase. The possibilities he voices are concerning.

That question raises the next issue.

3.    Who is paying for these improvements? If we answer this question, we might get to the bottom of what is actually occurring.

An Italian journalist writing for Arutz Sheva twice weekly, Giulio Meotti, wrote an article that was published June 30, 2015, in which he outlined Vatican disregard for Jewish access and control of the Temple Mount. After discussing Pope John Paul’s visit to the Arab-flag bedecked Temple Mount in 2000, Meotti concludes that the papal visit, hosted solely by the PLO, was the Vatican “recognition of Islamic hegemony” and of the Islamic and Christian “right” to supersede Jewish interests in the holy places.

Most disturbingly, Meotti writes that “the Vatican-PLO agreements have been signed to enable the eviction of the Jews from Jerusalem.” Other agreements have been signed, including a memorandum of “preserving the proper identity and sacred character” of Jerusalem by returning to a pre-67 scenario wherein Jews were barred from the Old City and half of the city was under Islamic rule.

Meotti’s sentiments were echoed on the site NowTheEndBegins.com. The title of the article is, The Vatican Wants the Temple Mount Taken from the Jews, where he quotes the above Meotti source.

On June 26, 2015, the Associated Press released a story with the banner, Vatican Sign Treaty with “State of Palestine.” The Treaty recognized a Palestinian State and regulated Catholic participation within the new State. This Treaty was the first to recognize Palestine as a State.

Vatican Foreign Minister Gallagher and Riad al-Malki after signing the first treaty recognizing Palestine as a State.

Additionally, Steven ben DeNoon reports that a beautiful new mall has been constructed just outside of Jaffa Gate, complete with an elaborate Catholic church in the middle of the mall.   DoNoon ponders this strange juxtaposition and wonders if paying for the construction of the mall earned the Catholic right to put a church in the middle.

Again, Arutz Sheva reporter, Guilio Meotti, wrote in an article entitled, A Seat for the Pope at King David’s Tomb, that Netanyahu granted the Pope an official seat in the room where the Last Supper is believed to have been held on Mt. Zion. It is also the believed to be the Tomb of King David. This agreement is expected to be ratified in the near future. Meotti, once again, outlines the long struggle and extreme interest of the Catholic Church in obtaining possession, rights, control, and dominion over this site (and dozens of other sites) while consistently “working to reduce Jewish rights in Jerusalem” and “campaigning with the Arabs against Israel.” The agreement will allow this site on Mt. Zion to open for mass from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. It is here, close to the Temple Mount, that the newly ordered “Mass to Lucifer” will be sung daily.

DeNoon researched briefly concerning just who was paying to the new checkpoints and rail system, the answer, “Taxes and a private entity.” NO information regarding the “private entity.” I’ve asked him to research the “private entity.”

In the meantime, let’s ask some questions. What “private entity” has an extreme interest in Jerusalem? What “private entity” has enough money to build major infrastructural changes in a nation? What does the pope want with the ostensible room for the last supper of Yeshua (probably not), but, probably is the burial place of King David. Is the pope’s interest more in the seat of King David? Is he preparing the way for the pseudo-messiah to reign from Jerusalem? Is that why the need for a new rail system? For the dignitaries that will flock to the pseudo-messiah? Will the imposter rule from Jerusalem? Will this  “international” city be cut off from Israel? Is this fulfillment of  prophesy unfolding before our eyes, about the “siege” (to isolate/cut off/restrict) that is laid against Jerusalem?

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem.  Zechariah 12: 2

Is that the reason for the checkpoints in to west Jerusalem?

4.    Is there any other suspicious building activity in or around Jerusalem? Yes. Routes north and south of Jerusalem, mostly Arab-occupied land, is enjoying a surge of freeway construction which appears to link Arab-occupied land, East Jerusalem, and other surround Arab-occupied lands, thus eliminating their need to pass through Israeli checkpoints.

Below, we see another Steven ben DeNoon photo, showing a new freeway from Ramallah (Arab city north of Jerusalem) into Jerusalem. NO checkpoints.

5.    The Ruler to come – Islamocatholicism. (aka Woman who rides the beast, from Revelation 17).

Let’s look at Daniel 9 again. “The people of the ruler to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary.” Who are the people who destroyed the sanctuary? The Romans. The leader who signs the covenant will be related to Rome. Let’s look at Daniel’s statue again.

“Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while. 11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.” (Rev 17:10-11) John noted that the Roman empire was the sixth because “five have fallen, and one is,” i.e., the legs of iron. The empire that was in existence during John’s life was Rome, who is the iron in the statue, a generally accepted interpretation since the 1st Century congregations.

Notice that Rome, the legs of iron, are two separate entities. Rome split into the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern.   Read a fascinating and brief history on how and why the Catholic Church helped to guide Mohammad, by Jesuit Cardinal, Augustine Bea. The goal, states this cardinal, was to ultimately gain Jerusalem by roping in the children of Ishmael as cohorts against the Jews. A closer look at both religions reveals surprising similarities – Mary worship, covering of women in the same manner, prayer beads, salvation by works, paganism, abuse of women, convert-or-die, and many more. This brief background by a cardinal helps us establish a background against which we can better interpret what we’re seeing.

When we look at the two legs and understand the history, I offer that we can see that Islam is eastern Catholicism, or, that Catholicism is western Islam. They are not divisible! The Pope Francis has even declared the Koran to be the same as scripture and may be read during mass and that Allah is the God of the Christian Bible.

Please notice, also, that the iron continues down to the feet, which is mixed with clay. (The clay are the demonic entities that will breed with man, as in Genesis 6.) East/west Isamocatholicism will continue until the stature is destroyed by the Rock (“eben”: ab (Father) + ben (Son) = Rock). The dominance of Rome/Islam continues until the second coming!

Back to Daniel 2, “the people who destroyed the sanctuary” were the Romans-who-are-the-same-as-Islamists. Who is the pseudo-messiah and who is the false prophet of Revelation? I offer that one will be from the right leg and one from the left leg of iron from Daniel’s vision, and it matters not which is which. At the present time, to see Islam and Catholicism acting in concert against Israel/Jerusalem should be no surprise.

6.    Sign the covenant with “the many.” We have one more element to discuss, and that is the signing of the covenant per Daniel 9:27. The Hebrew word here is “rab,” from which, I offer, we derive our English word “rabble.” This covenant is signed with many people, “the many.”

Do we have any meeting on our near horizon where the leaders of many nations will be gathering with a representative of the legs of iron, i.e., Islamocatholicism?   The pope will meet with the full United Nations on September 25, 2015, after meeting with the leader of the current American administration. Will a covenant be signed at that time?

7.    Will some Jews, Muslims, and Christians receive the pseudo-messiah? Ultra-Orthodox Rabbi Cahaim Kanievsky has made a call of all Jews to return to Israel to receive the messiah , whose appearance is “imminent.” He stated to a querying Jew, “Gather your family and come to Israel. Otherwise, there won’t be enough room for you on the airplanes,” hinting that the 9th of Av (July 25) could see this event.

Ultra Orthodox Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky calls for imminent Aliyah.

The Bible Codes also seem to hint that the messiah will return in 2016, which on the Jewish calendar, commences September 14, 2015.

Rabbi Chaim is not alone in his call for urgency, for the Muslims have issued a similar call to herald the coming Mahdi. The Mahdi, they say, will return 2015-16.

Are some Jews, Muslims, and Christians preparing to accept the wrong messiah?

Summary. We have discussed the four elements of Daniel 9:27. These are the elements we need – 1. an Islamocatholic leader (probably), 2. will sign a covenant, 3. with many nations, 4. for a term of 7 years. If that happens this September, may all who love Yehovah take note.

We have also discussed recent occurrences in Israel – the building of checkpoints that appear to isolate Jerusalem from Israel; the building of roads that appear to link all of the territories the Arabs expect to obtain when Israel is divided; the exertion of papal control over sensitive sites in Jerusalem, especially David’s Tomb; the Islamocatholic effort to push Jews out of the Temple Mount and Jerusalem in general.

We are left to wonder, is the Vatican establishing a seat for the final beast? Is the Vatican the “woman” who rides the New World Order/Islamic Beast?  What role, if any, does the state of Israel play in all of this? Is it the right to worship on the Temple Mount during Feasts? On Sabbaths? Is it the promise of peace?

We can be certain that the signs we are seeing is evidence that we are in the last days. Once/if the covenant is signed, I offer that the horses will ride and the globe will go where we’ve never been.

I urge each one to fast, repent, pray, and read scripture. I offer that we are, even now, today, being scrutinized for fitness to serve in the vineyard during the upcoming great harvest.

Whatever happens, let us that our own feeble humanity isn’t the issue, for we are told, “’Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD.” Understanding our anxiety over the days in which we live, Yeshua said, “And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
