Those who know the signs and watch, they will not
be overtaken like a thief in the night, but will be
awake and see the events unfold and be calm. When
Messiah came the first time, there were signs in the
heavens and when He comes the second time we
will see signs in the heavens as well.

YHVH placed the sun, moon and stars in the heaves
to be as signs and seasons. The word seasons is
the Hebrew word mo-ed that means appointed
times or Festivals. The Birth of Yshua was after
Trumpets, on the Feast of Sukkot where the star of
Bethlehem pointed out the birth of the Messiah to
the wise men form the East. The Star of Bethlehem
was not a single star that lit up brighter than the
others; it was three star consolations that aligned to
point out the event. Libra, Vergo and Leo aligned and
this was the Star of Bethlehem that Daniel revealed
this while he was captive in Babylon. Hundreds of
years later, the people who had this knowledge came
form the east to bring their worship to the new born
King and gave Him the inheritance of Daniel as gifts.
YHVH will reveal the Second Coming of the Messiah on an Appointed Time where
there will be signs in the Heavens. What will the signs be when the Messiah returns?

YHVH revealed the First Coming of the Messiah through signs in the stars and He
will reveal the Second Coming of Messiah though signs in the sun and the moon. We
see the sun will be darkened and the moon will turn
to blood, what does this mean?
These are solar and lunar eclipses, a solar eclipse
is where the sun is physically darkened and a lunar
eclipse is where a full moon turns red.

Now, lets look at the places in the Bible that speak of the sun being darkened and
the moon not giving her light. First of all, Isaiah wrote:

We are told that this will occur in the day of YHVH. It is the time when YHVH will
punish all nations for their wickedness. We are not talking about ordinary everyday
living, but gross wickedness against YHVH and His Chosen People. YHVH calls
them arrogant, proud and haughty. He says that they are terrible, evil and wicked. It
seems to me that He is referring to the nations that are trying to destroy Israel.
Again, Isaiah said:

Since neither the sun nor moon has a conscience, the references to being
confounded or ashamed seem to be metaphoric of the condition of man on earth.
The darkening of the sun and moon, therefore, are signs of mans condition. These
conditions will prevail at the time of Yshuas return to judge the wicked and establish
His kingdom. Isaiah was the first prophet to write about solar and lunar events, but
Joels passages are the most widely quoted. Joel wrote:

Isaiah and Joel are the only (OT) prophets that mentioned solar and lunar events in
the day of YHVH. In each case, however, it is apparent that they are referring to
events that precede the messianic kingdom. Joel adds earthquakes, blood, fire and
pillars of smoke. I think he is describing the battles that attend the Tribulation Period,
especially the final Battle of Armageddon.

Yshua described His glorious appearing at the close of the Tribulation Period. What
does the darkening of the sun and moon mean? Solar & lunar eclipses. Powers of
the heavens being shaken could refer to earthquakes or many nuclear explosions
around the world, disrupting the atmosphere. This will be a glorious event that will
happen immediately AFTER the Tribulation.
Luke records this same event:

Some Scholars believe that the Second Coming of Messiah will be in sync with the
Sabbatical year cycles. A Sabbatical year is happens every seventy-year just like a
Sabbath happens every seventh day. This is the year where the Land must rest. The
Second Coming of Messiah is linked to the Sabbath as found in Hebrews 4 where
those who do not harden their hearts will enter YHVHs Rest.
The number seven means Plan of YHVH and this number is seen within the Seven
Feasts of YHVH wherein His Plan of Restoration is revealed. The Sabbath is the
Seventh day where YHVH rested and the Sabbath is a prophetic picture of the
Millennial Rest that we will enter after the Coming of Messiah.
Joseph interpreted Pharaohs dream to foretell the seven-year prosperity and sevenyear famine time periods and is similar to Daniel seventieth week, that will most
probably fall within a seven-year Sabbatical cycle. Students of biblical prophecy have
long compared Pharaohs dream and Daniels seventieth week with the Tribulation
Period known as Jacobs Trouble, as laid out in the book of Revelation. We are
currently in a 7-year cycle, which started 2008. Are we in the seven years of famine
according to Josephs interpretation and Daniels seventieth week?
If we look back a couple of years you will notice that the majority of the Western
Culture countries experiences prosperity from 2000 2008, which is a seven-year
period. We have seen the Global Financial Crisis that started at the end of 2008 and
could mark the next seven years of famine. America, the icon of Western civilisation
experienced this downfall severely and several countries followed and are currently
being affected. It is expected that Chinas economy will come to a standstill by 2011
and that will affect Australia. What makes this very interesting is the fact that
according to the Jewish calendar, 2008 was a Sabbatical Year, which started
September 29, 2008, and we are currently in the seven-year cycle that will end in
2014. The next Sabbatical year will be in 2014/2015.

The Biblical Holidays are found in Leviticus 23 and spell out the Plan of YHVH (God).
There are seven Festivals divided into two main seasons; 4 Spring Festivals and 3
Fall Festivals. The first four Festivals revealed the First Coming of the Messiah and
the last three Festivals will be fulfilled by the Messiahs Second Coming.

The Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) represents the Gathering of YHVHs people,
also known as the Rapture. The Day of Atonement represents the final day of
judgment where Babylon (Satans system) will be destroyed and the Feast of
Tabernacles (Sukkot) represent the coming down of the New Jerusalem (YHVHs
dwelling place on earth) where He will live with His people forever. These Festivals
are very significant and prophetic and will reveal the real Messiah from the AntiMessiah. The sun and the moon will signal His Second coming as noted in the
following verses:

Our Saviours Second Coming will be heralded with signs in the

heavens, in which the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon
into blood. Pastor Mark Biltz went on the Internet, to a U.S. Nasa web
site, to see if he could find any solar or lunar eclipses over the next few
years that might be significant.

To his surprise, he found four lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses in the Sabbatical
Year of 2014 and 2015. Also, he noticed that they all appear on Biblical Holy Days! A
lunar eclipse is when the moon turns red and it seems like it has turned into blood.
Mark Biltz discovered the following lunar eclipses that are in line with Biblical Feast
days:
Passover, April 15, 2014
The Feast of Tabernacles, October 8, 2014
Passover, April 4, 2015 and
The Feast of Tabernacles, September 28, 2015
This is most unusual. It is a rare occurrence for four lunar cycles to happen on
successive Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) observances. It will not
happen again for hundreds of years. However, Mark found that a series of four lunar
eclipses on these particular holy days did occur in the twentieth century -- not once,
but twice! The first set occurred on Passover, 13 April 1949; the first yearly cycle
after Israel became a state!

The second set happened on two Passovers, and two Feasts of Tabernacles
(Sukkot) 1967/68, the year Israel liberated Jerusalem (5-10 June 1967)!

Such a phenomenon is rarely impossible, unless it was set up by Divine design. Mark
looked back in history and noticed that the last time this set of four lunar eclipses
occurred on Passover and Sukkot was in 1493, the year after Columbus sailed the
ocean blue and Spain expelled all Jews.
Mark is convinced that YHVH was telling the Jews that He was fully aware of their
circumstances and that His hand is upon them! In that case, we wonder what is
YHVH telling the Jews in the 1949 and 1967 lunar eclipses? And, as we look at the
next seven years, we wonder, What is YHVH telling Israel through the upcoming
lunar eclipses in 2014/2015? Is it possible that these are fulfilling Biblical
prophecies? These signs are so rare and cannot be ignored.

In addition to the four lunar eclipses in 2014-15, Mark also found two solar
eclipses right in between. They will occur on:
Adar 29/Nisan 1, March 20, 2015
The Feast of Trumpets, September 13, 2015
These two dates are quite significant because they are special days in the Hebrew
calendar. For example, it was on Nisan 1, the first anniversary of the Exodus, that
Moses raised up the Tabernacle for the first time and the glory of YHVH descended.
Two weeks later, the Chosen People observed their first Pentecost since the Exodus.
Nisan 1 marks the beginning of the religious festival cycle and the beginning of the
year. Six months later, on Tishri 1, we observe the Feast of Trumpets. This day is
highly prophetic, because it is said to be the anniversary of the Creation of Adam.
And, even though it is a Biblical observance, it is prophetically significant as a day for
Gentile nations. It also mark the event of Messiahs return that will occur on the
blowing of a trumpet.
It is the day when YHVH will sit down upon His throne of Judgment and take the
books in his hand. That is when He will begin the judgment of the world. So, a solar
eclipse on Trumpets could precede the Second Coming of Messiah in power and
great glory, and fulfil the Biblical description.

The first of three solar eclipses happened on the first of Av. Thats right, all three
solar eclipses will be on the biblical date of Av 1, for the next three years -- 2008,
2009, and 2010. Our Gregorian calendar dates are:

Av 1 - August 1, 2008 - partial eclipse

Av 1 - July 22, 2009 - partial eclipse
Av 1 - July 11, 2010 - partial eclipse
There were a lot of bad things that happened during the 9 days of Av and it is the
most sorrowful time of the year for Jews. In the Jewish calendar, they are all in the
period between the 1st and 9th of the month of Av:

Moses caught the people worshiping the Golden Calf on Tammuz 17.
Therefore, the three weeks from Tammuz 17 to Av 9 are called the dark
time.
The day when Jews lament the destruction of their temple by
Nebuchadnezzar.
600 years later Rome destroyed Temple 9 Av.
Jews kicked out of England 1290 - 9Av.
Jews kicked out of Spain 1492 - 9 Av.
World War 1 started 9 Av
Hitler'
s proclamation to kill the Jews - 9 Av
Evacuated Gaza strip on sunset 3500 years ago - 9Av

From Av 1-9, no bathing is allowed; no comforts; no clean clothes; the Jew takes his
shoes off; sits on an overturned chair and reads the book of Lamentations.
What happened on the 1st of Av 2008, 2009 and what will happen during the dark
time starting on the 1st of Av, 11 Jul 2010 this year?

This time from the 1 9 Av is a time that is bad for Israel and where
things happened that caused them grief. On 8/08/2008, seven days
after the 1 Av, Russia attacked and invaded Georgia. What is the
significance of this?
In 1120 AD the kingdom of Jerusalem officially
recognise the order of knights Templar at the
counsel of Nablus 888 years ago. If you subtract
888 years from 8/08/2008 it gives the number 1120,
which is the year Jerusalem was liberated, fascinating!
The emblem of Jerusalem was a five-fold cross. This is the
same five-fold cross that appears on the flag of the Republic of
Georgia.
Georgia is named after St. George, symbolic of the liberation of
Jerusalem during the crusades. On 8/08/2008, war broke out
between Russia and Georgia. This region was known in the past as
Gog from earliest history. The area of conflict lies 888 miles from the
Temple Mount in Jerusalem. (see Signs of the End Times - Section 2
for details on Newtons work regarding the time vs. distance from the
Temple).

On 08/08/2008, a huge figure 8 crop circle appeared in

Wiltsire England. The Illuminati is behind the war in Georgia.
It is the opening event for the conquest of Jerusalem for the
soon coming Antichrist. After the destruction of Gogs
armies, the Antichrist will establish the New World Order
with its religious centre seated in Jerusalem. Right after this
event after the Feast of Trumpets in 2008, the World
Financial Crisis started and is still current. This can relate to
the story of Joseph in Scripture where there were seven years of prosperity and then
seven years of famine. The last seven years is a picture of the last seven years
including the Great Tribulation.

We were waiting to see what will happen in this 9 days of

"darkness" or mourning for the Jews connected to the solar
eclipse 22 Jul 09. On the last day, 30 Jul 2009 or 9 Av (Tisha
B'
Av), started the building of the Sacrificial Altar that is VERY
significant for the end times time line.

There needs to be an Altar for the sacrifices to start, and when the sacrifices are
stopped and the Abomination of Desolation is set up in the Holy Place, starts the 3,5
years of the Great Tribulation.... Are you ready?!
From 2000 to 2007, the whole world experience growth and prosperity, but this only
lasted until the end of 2008. This can mean that we are currently within the last seven
years of famine which is evident through the current world economic crisis. The first
3,5 years will be the preparation for the seat and rule of the Antichrist to be set up
and the last 3,5 years will start with the Antichrist announcing that he is god from the
Temple in Jerusalem. During the years 2008 to 2012 we should look for the dividing
of the land of Israel and the rebuilding of the Third Temple and the starting of daily
sacrifices by the Jews.

Mark Biltz seems to think that the solar eclipses on Av 1, could change the course of
history, because solar eclipses are significant and foretell a bad time that will involve
the middle east and Jerusalem. Will there be a war in Israel this year? It is entirely
possible. If so, then the solar eclipse could be announcing judgment upon the world - a sobering thought!

We have seen two events that confirmed the first two solar eclipses in 2008 and
2009; will 11 Jul 2010 confirm it even further? If something happens this year, then it
will be the second conformation of this timeline and we can expect some action in
2014, and 2015 to fulfil Biblical prophecy regarding the Second Coming of Messiah.
We will also look at 2011/12; which is 3,5 years within the seven-year cycle for the
sign of the sacrifices to be stopped and the Abomination of Desolation set up in
Jerusalem. This will signal the start of the Great Tribulation that will last 1290 days
(3,5 years) according to Daniels prophecy. We expect these things to happen in the
month of Nissan, which is normally in April and will conclude on the Feast of
Trumpets 2015 where we will expect the Messiahs return.
I am not trying to foretell the future, but I am only lining up the Word with the
heavenly signs and with world events so that we can have a feel for when this will
happen so that we can warn people. The only way to convince someone that YHVH
is real and that the Scripture is true is if we can prove if by world events and
prophecy. This is one of the greatest events that has been prophesied and this will
be the best tool to lead people to YHVH.
These signs are in line with Scripture and the eclipses lining up with Feast days are
mind-boggling and cannot be ignored. Be informed with world events and keep our
eyes on the signs so that we might be found ready.
