    THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL

    INTRODUCTION

    The rapture is coming but the timing is mysterious. We are told in Scripture: ‘But of that day and hour knows

    no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.’ (Matthew 24:36) This means at best we might

    predict the year and month when the rapture is coming but not more accurately than that.

    We are adjured by the Savior to keep watch for the coming of the rapture: ‘Watch therefore: for ye know

    not what hour your Lord doth come.’ (Matt. 24:42) In another passage the Savior said: ‘It will be good for

    those servants whose Master finds them ready, even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night.’

    (Luke 12:38)

    What else is there to watch at night than the stars in the sky? Some of the signs of the second coming that

    the servants of the Master are to watch for will be revealed in the stars in the night sky. Is this so shocking?

    Did not the shepherds see a choir of angels in the night sky praising the Lord at his first coming? ‘And there

    were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An Angel of the Lord

    appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone round about… Suddenly a great company of the heavenly

    host appeared with the angel, praising God, and saying ‘Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to

    men on whom his favor rests.’ (Luke 2:8-14)

    There is nothing un-Biblical about epochal changes being marked by observable events in the stars. The

    wise men from the East who came to worship the Christ, spoke to Herod saying: ‘Where is he that is born King

    of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him’. (Matt. 2:2)

    How long is a ‘watch of the night’? According to Moses: ‘For a thousand years in thy sight are but as

    yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.’ (Psalm 90:4) So, when Jesus said he was coming ‘in the

    second or third watch of the night’ it means sometime between 1,000 and 3,000 years after his death. We

    are almost 2,000 years after his death1. We are in the period of time when Christ predicted he would return.

    SUMMARY

    We propose in this paper that a specific celestial event is predicted in the New Testament that saints are to

    watch for known as ‘the voice of the archangel’. We will show this has already occurred. Look at the

    evidence - you judge for yourself. We are convinced the predicted momentous sign in the stars we are to

    watch for has already arrived. Other signs will follow – not all signs of his coming are celestial.

    This means the sequence of prophetic events prior to the rapture is now well underway. We will provide

    evidence for that too.

    1 If Jesus died in 33 AD, then 2000 years after his death is 2033.

    THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES

    The Book of Revelations provides expert authority on the sequence of events following the death and

    resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Almost all conservative Christian commentators of Scripture agree that

    the rapture of Christians will occur before the seven year period known as Daniel’s 70th Week, or the Great

    Tribulation. It is vital that the reader understand when the rapture occurs in the sequence of events recorded

    in the Book of Revelations. We believe the rapture occurs at the opening of the seventh seal, which coincides

    with the first trumpet. We provide a detailed defense of this interpretation of prophecy in our paper: ‘The

    Seven Seals’2. A graphic from this paper is presented below for your convenience:

    Christian history is laid out in the Book of Revelations from chapter 2 to 6. The seven churches of Revelations

    are seven epochs of church history in the Age of Grace. The seven seals represent prophetic events which

    must occur prior to the rapture. During the time of the ‘Birth Pangs’ Christians will be decimated. The one-

    world government under the one-world ruler, the Anti-Christ, will be established3. The opening of the first

    seal is the event described as the ‘Voice of the Archangel.’ (Rev.6:1)

    2 This document in available in section 4.0 PROPHECY on our website: www.biblenumbersforlife.com

    3 The Anti-Christ himself will not be revealed until Christians are raptured, but his one-world government will be established. This is

    a necessary pre-condition of Daniel’s 70th

    week which begins when the Jewish nation makes a covenant with the Anti-Christ.

    THE FIRST SEAL

    The account of the opening of the first seal in Scripture: (Rev. 6)

    ‘And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the

    four beasts [living creatures] saying, Come and see.’ (v.1)

    ‘And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him:

    and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.’ (v.2)

    Source: Unknown

    The opening of the first seal reveals a rider on a white horse. He rides his steed [yes they are that close] to

    conquer. The rider is the False Prophet of the House of Judah. The bow and horse signify the Anti-Christ.

    How can the False Prophet / Anti-Christ appear if the church has not yet been raptured? Here is the mystery:

    the False Prophet / Anti-Christ have been called forth by God, but that does not mean they have appeared

    publically. When the first seal is opened False Prophet / Anti-Christ are released to make war. But, they are

    crafty. They will not permit their identity to be revealed before the appointed time. Until they have total

    world authority in their grip they must not reveal themselves. If they did they would become the top target

    for assassination of every nation on earth. After the Christians are gone, Anti-Christ will be revealed.

    Note carefully, the graphic above pictures the False Prophet as a beardless white man with dark eyes.

    Obviously, we cannot know in advance anything concerning his skin color, his facial hair, or his eye color.

  • mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com

    THE FOUR LIVING CREATURES

    Prior to opening the first seal, the apostle John stood before the throne of God. ‘In the center, around the

    throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered in eyes front and back.’ (Rev. 4:6) These are the

    same cherubim in Ezekiel’s vision: ‘The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, and in the fire were four

    living creatures… each had four faces and four wings… As I looked at the living creatures I saw a wheel on the

    ground beside each creature… Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel… Their rims were

    high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eye all around.” (Ezekiel ch.1)

    4

    Regarding the four living creatures who stand before the throne in heaven: ‘Day and night never stop saying

    ‘Holy, holy, holy is the LORD God Almighty who was, and who is, and who is to come.’ (Rev. 4:8) Therefore, a

    task of the four living creatures is to announce prophecy. The eyes are the stars, which ‘watch’ from above.

    The prophecy the living creatures announce is knowledge from the stars5. The four wheels are the circulation

    of the four celestial systems: (1) Moon around Earth (2) Earth and planets around the Sun (3) Sun around the

    Galactic Center (4) Galactic Center around the Universe Center: wheels which intersect with wheels.

    The four living creatures are guardian cherubs. They are the highest angelic creatures in the Universe. They

    are the ‘archangels’, or the ‘chief angels’. Lucifer was one of these before his fall: ‘You were anointed as a

    guardian cherub… I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God’ (Ezekiel 28:14-15). 4 Winchester Bible Ilustration. Source: http://raebear.net/bibleart/displayimage.php?pos=-203

    THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL

    John wrote: ‘‘And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder,

    one of the four beasts [living creatures] saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he

    that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.’

    The ‘noise of thunder’ which ‘one of the four beasts’ declared was the voice of an archangel.

    Back in the Book of 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 Paul wrote this concerning the rapture: [KJV English translation]

    ‘For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the

    Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.’ (v. 15)

    ‘For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the

    trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.’ (v. 16)

    ‘Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in

    the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.’ (v. 17)

    Here is the key verse in the exact order that the words are written in Greek:

    Phrase 1: ‘For the Lord himself,

    Phrase 2 (a) with a shout,

    Phrase 2 (b) with the voice of the archangel, and [the first seal] unto

    Phrase 2 (c) with the trump of God, [the sixth seal]

    Phrase 3: shall descend from heaven,

    Phrase 4: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.’ (v. 16)

    When we read verse 16 in the order it is written in Greek, we see that the voice of the archangel precedes the

    descent of the Lord from heaven to gather his resurrected saints.

    This is in agreement with Revelations chapter six. The appearance of the rider on the white horse, the Anti-

    Christ, is announced by the voice of an archangel, one of the four living creatures. The remaining seals, or

    prophetic events which must take place before the rapture, are opened one after the other. Then finally

    when the sixth seal is opened the rapture of the saints occurs. It is only after the opening of the sixth seal that

    we read ‘After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every

    nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing

    white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: ‘Salvation

    belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.’ (Rev. 7:9-10)

    SAGITTARIUS IS THE RIDER ON THE WHITE HORSE

    Here is a critical connection. The calling of the False Prophet / Anti-Christ is announced by an archangel. The

    business of the four living creatures is to proclaim prophetic revelation before the throne of God, specifically

    prophetic revelation relating to knowledge contained in the starry heavens, in the four wheels of stars, which

    includes all stars in the entire universe.

    The revelation in the stars that the ‘Voice of the Archangel’ announces is prophecy contained in Sagittarius.

    Sagittarius is the constellation on the zodiac that portrays a centaur who wields a bow and conquers!

    Source: Unknown

    The arrow of Sagittarius is pointed at the heart of Scorpio, the deadly scorpion. Scorpio represents the world

    system6. The False Prophet / Anti-Christ will be sent by God to devastate the kingdoms of the earth. They will

    be sent at a time, during the epoch of the church of Laodicea - the last of the seven churches, when

    Christianity has ceased to be a functioning living organism and has ossified into an apostate religion that is

    riven by schisms, factions, and the ecclesiastical empires of men.

    There is a double level of prophetic meaning in the constellation Sagittarius. {Perhaps that is why the word is

    spelled with two ‘t’s or two ‘bows’}. When False Prophet / Anti-Christ defeat the kingdoms of the world and

    establish a one-world government with themselves as the co-regents, they will morph into Scorpio, the God

    rejecting world system! After the seven year period of the Great Tribulation, Christ will then return to earth,

    riding his white steed, as the second coming of Sagittarius so to speak, and vanquish the False Prophet / Anti-

    Christ in similar fashion to how they vanquished their enemies!

    6 For a full description of the and prophecies in Sagittarius and Scorpio please see our papers on page 7.0 STARS

  • mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com

    Anti-Christ will claim to be God and man, the Messiah. In Sagittarius this is pictured by the dual nature of

    horse and man. John tells us False Prophet / Anti-Christ will be two men: a horse and a rider. Jesus is the

    only true Messiah – the true Sagittarius: fully God and fully man.

    COULD THE ‘VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL’ ALSO BE A CELESTIAL SIGN?

    This is what we know so far: (1) Christians are commanded to ‘Watch for we do not know the day or hour our

    Lord may return’ (2) The watch is described as a ‘watch of the night’, in other words what we are watching is

    the stars (3) The constellation to be announced by the archangel is Sagittarius, an object to keep our eyes on

    A scientific project called SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence), possesses a vast array of antennae,

    named ‘Big Ear’, which point up at the night sky. Amazingly, SETI was established with the express purpose of

    registering messages sent to earth by advanced intelligent life elsewhere in the universe!

    On August 15, 1977 the SETI telescopes registered a most unusual signal in the constellation Sagittarius,

    known as the Wow Signal. Scientists consider the origin of this signal to be a major unsolved mystery.’7 For

    72 seconds a burst of microwaves at the Hydrogen wavelength 21.1 cm was received that peaked at 30 times

    as intense as the background ‘white noise’ of the universe. Such a signal has never been seen since.

    Scientists have ruled out the possibility of an earth source for the signal since it was registered on an

    extremely narrow band. A signal that strong which originated from earth would have registered static on one

    of the other 50 bands taking recordings on the Big Ear telescope. The diagram below shows the region in the

    night sky from which the signal was received. It is above the right shoulder of Sagittarius8.

    7 For a BBC presentation on the Wow! Signal view this 2 minute video clip: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p028sbnz

    8 Figuratively, the Anti-Christ received a ‘tap on the shoulder’ to go forth and conquer!

  • mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com

    DECIPHERING THE WOW SIGNAL: IT MEANS ‘MAN OF LAWLESSNESS’

    Of course, atheist scientists would never be able to decode the ‘Wow Signal’ for two reasons: (1) they would

    not assume the existence of all-powerful God who might choose to send them a message, and; (2) they would

    not understand the meaning of spiritual numbers required to decode it.

    Bible Numbers for Life is not constrained by either of those limitations. We enthusiastically accept the

    existence of an all-powerful God. We know the spiritual meaning of some numbers9. Furthermore, as dutiful

    saints and believers in Jesus we are awaiting a celestial sign in the constellation Sagittarius.

    Source10

    The diagram above shows the pulse which the Big Ear telescopes recorded. Two numbers jump out as

    defining features of the pulse:

    30 ~ the peak intensity relative to background star radiation in this band width

    72 ~ the number of seconds of duration of the pulse, from beginning to end

    The spiritual meaning of the numbers: EVANGELIST (72) BLOOD (30). This is one way of looking at the

    Man of Lawlessness, the Anti-Christ. He will conquer all nations on the earth by war: BLOOD. In the most

    perverse way, he will be an EVANGELIST since his ultimate goal is to cause men to worship a god (him)!

    9 To the best of our ability. Perfect knowledge of spiritual numbers exists only in the mind of God.

  • mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com

    DEEPER INTO THE MYSTERY OF THE WOW SIGNAL

    If we covered the Wow Signal pulse with a rectangle in such a way that the boundary was completely covered

    we would obtain an area of 2160 = 30 x 72 = 10 x 216

    The spiritual meaning of 2160 is ‘Testimony’ (10) ‘Brotherly Love is Gone’ (216)

    In spiritual numbers Testimony (10) refers to the assembly or public identity of the saints. A church is meant

    to be a ‘light to the world’, a ‘lamp’ that is not hidden under a bushel but set on top of a hill for all to see. The

    life of a Christian fellowship was intended by the LORD to reflect his own divine nature: generous to a fault,

    gracious without limit, always loving, always forgiving, and freely offering salvation to a broken world.

    At the birth of the church this is what the world saw:

    ‘They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to

    prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All

    the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to

    anyone who had need. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts… And

    the Lord added daily to their number those who were being saved.” (Acts 2:42-47)

    In the last days, the virtue and love in the fellowship of Christians will be gone.

    This is how the apostle John describes the church of Laodicia, which represents the last epoch of the church:

    ‘I know your deeds that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish you were either one or the other! So because

    you are lukewarm – I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do

    not need a thing’ But you do not realise that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked…’ (Rev. 3:15-17)

    This is how Jesus described the conditions preceding the end of the Age of Grace:

    ‘At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets

    will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, THE LOVE OF MOST WILL

    GROW COLD (216), but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.’ (Matt. 24:10-13)

    The specific word spoken by the living creature to call forth the Anti-Christ are: ‘ερχου και βλεπε’ which mean

    ‘Come and See!’ Their gematria is 1,328 which means New Man (8) Detests Idol Worship (166). The

    church, who was intended to be a light to the Gentiles, is sunken in lust for riches (see passage in Revelation 3

    quoted above) which is idolatry (Col. 3:5). The False Prophet / Anti-Christ who comes, the ‘New Man’, will

    ‘Detest Idol Worship’! He will conquer all the godless kingdoms of the world and the people who live in those

    countries: people who wake up each day with only one thought on their minds: to make money!

    The dimensions of the Wow Signal correspond through interpretation by spiritual numbers to the character of

    the Anti-Christ and simultaneously to the flawed character of the Christian faith which reaches its lowest ebb.

  • mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com

    MORE DEPTHS OF THE MYSTERY OF THE WOW SIGNAL

    The Wow Signal appears in the band of the Hydrogen wavelength, which is 21.106114 cm.

    Spiritual Number 21 ~ means: LAWLESSNESS (21)

    Spiritual Number 211 ~ means: EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF (211) TESTIMONY (10)

    These meanings line up with the identity of the Anti-Christ, who is the Man of Lawlessness. It also supports

    our belief that God sends him to wipe out the nations at the time in history when public Christian assemblies,

    or ‘testimonies’, cease to demonstrate the love of Jesus among one another. Instead they are not safe places

    to be, even for Christians. The recent scandals of widespread child abuse by priests in the Catholic Church is

    merely the sign of our times. Christian assemblies of all descriptions everywhere are beset with sins.

    We could also look at the Wow Signal from the perspective of the standard measurement in the Giza

    pyramids, which is the Royal Cubit11. The Royal Cubit is 20.6066 Pyramid Inches, or 20.8333 British Inches, or

    52.9165 cm. Note: Giza is a highly prophetic monument whose construction is a sign and wonder of God.

    The ratio of the Royal Cubit to the Hydrogen wavelength is 2.51 (52.9165 / 21.106114)

    The spiritual number 2.5 means ‘Payment for Sin’ (25) < divided into> ‘Testimony’ (10). The coming of the

    Anti-Christ will be a judgment of God upon the church of Laodicea. Yes, the church is not appointed for

    wrath, meaning eternal condemnation, but the church is nevertheless subject to discipline. As the Lord

    repeats in his warnings to the seven churches: ‘if you do not repent your candlestick will be removed.’ (Rev.

    2:5) In other words, if the public assemblies don’t obey Jesus’ command to love one another, he will expel

    Christians from this world. The original letter of Revelations to the seven churches of Asia Minor was not

    obeyed. There are now no public Christian assemblies in that part of the modern country of Turkey. None!

    The spiritual number 2.51 means ‘Evil Spirit Control’ (251) < divided into> ‘The Holy Flock’ (100). This points

    to another sad dimension of the conditions of Christian fellowship on earth which bring the Lord’s stinging

    rebuttal and painful discipline. The church has turned away from Jesus Christ as the head of the church and

    has appointed ecclesiastical overseers: pastors, priests, bishops, cardinals, et cetera. From the divine

    perspective of our holy Savior, this love of religion results in the church coming under the control of spirits of

    darkness and wickedness. The spotless bride of Christ has become just another harlot to so-called holy men

    who pimp her to soak money from the faithful believers. Woe!

    The same God who put the meaning of spiritual numbers in the Bible is the same God who created the

    universe, who is the same God who inspired prophecy in the Book of Revelations, who is the same God who

    created the four living creatures, who is the same God who sent the Wow! Signal to planet earth.

    THE STUPENDOUS IMPLICATIONS OF THE ‘VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL’

    If our analysis is correct and the Wow Signal is the prophetic Voice of the Archangel then the first Seal of

    Revelations was opened on August 15, 1977!

    This author has looked into events that occurred in and around that date. Nothing strikes the observer as

    being particularly notable. The Vietnam War ended in 1975. Other than a small conflict between Somalia and

    Eithiopia in 1977 the world was at peace. In America millions of Christians attended church on Sunday.

    This is exactly as the Lord warned us it would be:

    ‘Now brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of

    the LORD will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying ‘Peace and safety’, destruction will come

    upon them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.’ (1 Thess. 5:1-3)

    Like a thief: the False Prophet / Anti-Christ, thunders into the sleepy camp of world nations to plunder

    In the night: look for the sign of the sending of the Man of Lawlessness in the stars

    Peace and safety: the godless world system is at rest; revelling in all the money it makes from world trade

    Labor pains: this is the prophetic time in the Age of Grace known as Birth Pangs (see diagram on page 2)

    The verses of Paul in his letter to the church in Thessalonica echo the warning of the Lord Jesus:

    ‘Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like men waiting for their Master to return from a

    wedding banquet, so that when he comes they can immediately open the door for him… It will be good for

    those servants who the Master finds ready, even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night. But

    understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief [the Anti-Christ] was coming, he

    would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an

    hour when you do not expect him.’ (Luke 13:35-40)

    We now have a marker. We know the date the end of the world began.

    We Christians must now face up to the startling reality that the world will soon radically change in a way that

    is not friendly to us or our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Martyrs will soon be crying under the altar (fifth seal).

    We must now also come to the realisation that it was church sin, misrepresentation and twisting of the truth

    of Jesus Christ, that caused our Lord to send the False Prophet / Anti-Christ. Lament like Jeremiah!

    The period of the seven seals will be like a pot placed on the stove. The thief begins his work stealthily.

    Slowly and steadily the water will become hotter and hotter almost without noticing. By the time the pot is

    boiling over it is much too late. The LORD asked Jeremiah ‘What do you see?’ ‘I see a boiling pot’ (Jer.1:13)

    TIMING OF LAST DAY EVENTS

    There are seven seals. No place in Scripture does it say seven seals means seven years. We will propose a

    time line. Let the reader judge whether the Spirit of God confirms or denies these thoughts. We do not come

    to you with an authoritative interpretation. We bring you our thoughts. Perhaps we are right or wrong.

    Jeremiah was the prophet in the time of the exile of Judah to Babylon. His prophecy acidly heaped shame

    upon Judah because they had witnessed the exile of the Northern tribes of Israel by the Assyrians. They

    should have known Jehovah would judge them when He saw them commit the same sins the Northern tribes

    had committed. In the same way, Christians will feel extra shame when God judges us for our idolatry. We

    should have seen it coming because we saw God judge the Jews and exile them from the Holy Land – twice!

    We believe that the prophecies of Jeremiah have a dual application: to Judah and the nations around Judah in

    the time of Jeremiah, and to the church at the end of the Age of Grace and the nations of our present day.

    The reader who wishes to explore this connection is invited to read our papers on page 4.0 PROPHECY on our

    website as well as the up-to-date posts on our Facebook page.

    The word of the LORD according to Jeremiah:

    ‘Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts; because you have not heard my words,’ (v.8)

    ‘Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, says the LORD, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of

    Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all

    these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing

    [literally ‘shrieks’], and perpetual desolations.’ (v.9)

    ‘Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom,

    and the voice of the bride [the body of Christ], the sound of the millstones [preaching of Christian workers],

    and the light of the candle [public testimony of Christ in the world].’ (v.10)

    ‘And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of

    Babylon seventy years.’ (v.11)

    This False Prophet / Anti-Christ was sent was August 15 1977. Seventy years means the end of the judgments

    will be August 15 2047. The date the Jews (believers in that age) returned to the Holy Land – corresponds to

    the year believers in this age return to earth – which corresponds to the year the Anti-Christ will be destroyed.

    The Anti-Christ will be destroyed at the end of Daniel’s 70th week, the seven year period of the Great

    Tribulation, when Christ will destroy him (Rev. 19:11-21) with the breath of his mouth (1 Thess. 2:8). Seven

    years prior to the end of the Great Tribulation is the rapture. Therefore according to these predictions the

    rapture will occur in 2040. No one knows the day or the hour. Scripture never said we couldn’t know the

    month and the year. (Note: prophetic years are 360 days – so it gets complicated quickly!)

    THE KING OF BABYLON

    On June 29, 2014 history records an amazing event:

    “The {Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant's} original aim was to establish an Islamic state in the Sunni-majority

    regions of Iraq. Following its involvement in the Syrian Civil War, this expanded to include controlling Sunni-

    majority areas of Syria. It proclaimed a worldwide caliphate on 29 June 2014, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi—known

    by his supporters as Amir al-Mu'minin, Caliph Ibrahim—was named as its caliph, and the group was renamed

    the Islamic State. In its self-proclaimed status as a caliphate, it claims religious authority over all Muslims

    worldwide, and aims to bring most Muslim-inhabited regions of the world under its political control”12

    The word of the Lord through Jeremiah the prophet: (chapter 25)

    ‘Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, says the LORD, and Nebuchadnezzar THE KING OF

    BABYLON, MY SERVANT, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and

    against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an

    hissing, and perpetual desolations.’ (v.9)

    The period of elapsed history from the breaking of the first seal, August 15 1977, to the establishment of the

    Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, June 29 2014, is 37 years (36.896 to be precise).

    The spiritual number 37 ~ means ‘CHOSEN SERVANT’

    The exact number of days from August 15, 1977 to June 29, 2014 is 13,467 = 3 x 67 x 67. The spiritual number

    67 means ‘Gentiles Praise God’ (67). The spiritual number 67 x 67 means ‘Gentiles Praise God’ (67) ‘Exalted’

    (squared), or the time when any ethnic person can be saved through faith in Christ: the Age of Grace. The

    spiritual number 3 means ‘Binding’, so 13,467 means ‘Binding’(3) the ‘Age of Grace’ (67^2). This is what the

    Islamic State will do. It will terrify. It will conquer. It will destroy churches. It will make the preaching of the

    gospel of Christ impossible. As jihadist Islam spreads it will eventually reduce the Age of Grace to nothing.

    Could Abu-Bakr al-Bagdadi be the prophetic ‘King of Babylon’? He is called ‘al-Bagdadi’ because his home

    town is Baghdad, which is a short drive from the ruins of ancient Babylon. Anti-Christ was given a crown!

    Is Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi the Man of Lawlessness? He certainly is a man of lawlessness. He rapes. He

    pillages. He beheads non-combatants. He sells captured women as sex slaves. He dispossesses ancient tribes

    and peoples from their homes and their land. But Scripture says ‘Dear Children, this is the last hour; and as

    you have heard the Anti-Christ is coming, even now many antichrists have come.’ (1 John 2:18) The identity of

    the Anti-Christ is hidden. It will not be revealed until after the rapture. We believe the title ‘King of Babylon’

    which begins with al-Baghdadi will pass down to the ultimate Anti-Christ. Another reason: if August 15,

    1977 is the date Anti-Christ was born, Abu-Bakr al-Bagdadi was already five or six years old (born in 1971).

    THE POT ON THE BOIL – CLIMATE CHANGE

    Dear Christian brothers and sisters – start watching. The signs and wonders of God in the Last Days will be

    like fireworks in the sky – so bright and brilliant you can’t miss them – unless you are not watching.

    Scientists are in almost universal agreement that climate change is happening. Here are some of the charts

    below which show a dramatic rise in world temperatures in the last quarter of the 20th century:

    Notice carefully the first vision of Jeremiah that began his ministry: ‘Moreover the word of the LORD came to

    me, saying, ‘Jeremiah, what do you see?’ And I said ‘I see a rod of an almond tree’. Then said the LORD to

    me ‘You have seen well: for I will hasten to perform my word’. And the word of the LORD came unto me the

    second time, saying ‘What do you see?’ And I said ‘I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the

    north.’ (Jer. 1:11-13). One of the signs of the Last Days is a ‘seething pot’ – temperatures rising in the north.

    Why was Jeremiah chosen to be a prophet of God? He was watching for God to show him a sign.

    Jermiah’s prophecy was both near and far. Daniel realised this.

    ‘In the first year of Darius … which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; In the first year of his reign

    I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the

    prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.’ (Daniel 9:1-2)

    By reading Jeremiah, Daniel understood the timing of events in prophecy – both near and far. Read Daniel 9.

    It concerns days in the very distant future – including the coming of Jesus ‘the Annointed One’ and the coming

    of last days Babylon: ‘the people of the ruler’ who will ‘destroy the city and the sanctuary’.

    BEHOLD A MIRACLE OF GOD – RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES

    The Sept 11 attack on the Two Towers in New York City in 2001 was an indisputable miracle of God. Science

    can’t explain how two 110 story steel and cement towers – each floor an acre in size – could fall to the ground

    in 9 to 15 seconds - pulverized into dust – in mid-air – without release of heat. Each of the Towers weighed

    half a million tons. They fell to the ground with the barest seismic trace. Other buildings not as high and not

    as heavy left a clear seismic marker when they fell.

    In Ezekiel 21 God provided 37 precise details of the events on the day of the attack.

    In Lamentations 2 God provides 30 precise details of 911 and further prophecy concerning America.

    Are you watching? Are you seeing the signs of the Last Days right before our eyes?

    We invite you to visit our page 11 Sep 911 and learn what actually happened that day. It was a miracle – a

    sign and wonder – a warning that we are already in the Last Days – in fact, well into the Last Days. The pot is

    starting to reach boiling temperature.

    WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

    When the fullness of this revelation sinks in you will lament like Jeremiah.

    You will witness the destruction of all nations.

    You will be like Baruch the Scribe who when he understood the words of Jeremiah cried:

    ‘Woe to me! The LORD has added sorrow to my pain; I am worn out with groaning and find no rest.’ (Jeremiah

    45:2-3)

    God said to Baruch: ‘I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted, throughout the land.

    Should you then seek great things for yourself? Seek them not. For I will bring disaster on all people, declares

    the LORD, but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life.’ (Jeremiah 45:4-5)

    Comfort yourself with these words. Jesus will return and raise you from the dead or if you are still alive he

    will translate you immediately into your heavenly glorious eternal body. And so shall you ever be with the

    Lord. (1 Thess. 4:13-18)

    Prove your love for Christ and get out of these idolatrous religions of man, the institutional churches, whose

    sin has brought the judgment of God on the whole earth. Listen to Jeremiah (48:28):

    ‘Abandon your towns [religious assemblies and corporate observances]

    and dwell among the rocks [sit among your ‘stones’: your precious truths/friends]

  • mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com

    you who live in Moab [kingdom of spiritual Balaam – the prophet for hire – modern church]

    be like a dove that makes its nest [dove – faithful one who loves Jesus above everything]

    at the mouth of the cave.” [mouth of the cave – picture of Christ’s tomb – also mouth of destruction]

    Moab is prophetic of the clergy-dominated Protestant Church13. [Ammon is prophetic of the clergy-

    dominated Catholic Church].

    And wait patiently for the LORD to rescue you at the rapture.

    Now you have a reasonable idea of when that might be.

    REWARDS IN THE NEXT LIFE

    ‘Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.’ (Matt. 24:42)

    ‘It will be good for those servants whose Master finds them ready, even if he comes in the second or third

    watch of the night.’ (Luke 12:38)

    For Christians who obey the call of God to flee the city of destruction – the church of Moab – and dwell in

    caves in the rock – outside the authority of institutional church and man’s clergy – there will be an exciting

    reward in the Millennium. For those that do not obey – there will be an appropriate banishment.

    We show these things in our paper ‘Cities of Refuge’.

    Maranatha. Christ is coming.

    servant mark

    13

    We will demonstrate this in a publication to come.
