DISCERNING THE SIGNS 3
(week 46/14)
OLUBI JOHNSON
In our article last week, we saw 5 major universal events that will take place in this 3rd day. This week, we will see how to accurately discern the signs that correspond to these events.
Now, to accurately discern the signs, we need to know in EACH TIME AND SEASON WHICH SIGNS POINT TO WHICH OF THESE MAJOR EVENTS.
The PRESENT BLOOD-MOON TETRAD SIGN IN THE HEAVENS THAT STARTED IN APRIL 2014 AND WHICH WILL END IN OCTOBER 2015, synchronizing with the Jewish feasts of Passover, Trumpets and Tabernacles and a Shemittah year of release (Dt. 15. 1) with the CORRESPONDING SIGNS ON THE EARTH of the DISTRESS OF NATIONS, FLOODS DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING, point to the MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD that will emerge as Joel’s army.
Joel 2:10-11 AMP: The earth quakes before them; the heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened and the stars withdraw their shining. [Rev. 9:2-4; 16:14.] (11) And the Lord utters His voice before HIS ARMY, for His host is very great, and [they are] strong and powerful who execute [God’s] word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible, and who can endure it? [Isa. 26:20, 21; 34:1-4, 8; Rev. 6:16, 17.]
The blood moons signify the shaking of the heavens: the victorious advancing of God’s Joel’s army taking dominion in the 2nd heavens (2 Cor. 12. 2) from Satan and his cohorts (Eph.6.12, Rev.12.7-11).
The total eclipse and the blood moons ALSO, in the manifold wisdom of God, signify the death of ‘Saul’ (typifying the present church leadership): symbolized by the darkening of sun (like the sun was darkened when Jesus was dying on the cross (Mt.27.45-50; Mt. 26.31, Zech. 13.7)) and his sons, symbolized by the darkening of the moons (Gen. 37.9).
So, just like David’s army increased at Ziklag as Saul and his sons were about to die at the hands of the Philistines, so now the blood moons and total solar eclipse will signify the increase of God’s end-time perfection army from Gideon’s army (of the order of 100-300) to Joel’s army (of the order of 144,000) as the ‘Saul’ leadership and their sons in the church die and give way to a new ‘David’ leadership.
1Chronicles 12:19-22 NIV: Some of the men of Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (He and his men did not help the Philistines because, after consultation, their rulers sent him away. They said, “It will cost us our heads if he deserts to his master Saul.”) (20) When David went to Ziklag, these were the men of Manasseh who defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu and Zillethai, leaders of units of a thousand in Manasseh. (21) They helped David against raiding bands, for all of them were brave warriors, and they were commanders in his army. (22) Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God.
This end-time perfection army will BREAK, RULE AND DISCIPLE FIRSTLY, THE CHURCH AND SECONDLY, THE NATIONS, before it is taken away, or, caught up or, raptured.
2Thessalonians 2:7 NIV: For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till HE (the man-child company) is taken out of the way.
Revelation 12:5 KJV: And she brought forth A MAN CHILD, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was CAUGHT UP UNTO GOD, and to his throne.
After this, the GREAT TRIBULATION WILL BEGIN during which the MID-TRIBULATION RAPTURE of the two witnesses and 144,000 Jewish perfection saints (Rev. 11.7-12; 14.1-3) and the RISE OF THE PERSON OF THE ANTI-CHRIST (Rev.13.1-18) will take place.
AFTER the GREAT tribulation, there will be ANOTHER blood moon tetrad that will have within it a TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE. This will signify the LAST major event: the PHYSICAL RETURN OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Joel 2:31 NIV: The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood BEFORE the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
Matthew 24:29-30 KJV: Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: (30) And THEN shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Revelation 6:12-17 KJV: And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; (13) And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. (14) And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. (15) And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; (16) And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: (17) For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
So, by understanding these events and their corresponding signs, we CAN NOW ACCURATELY DISCERN THE SIGNS and BE READY FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD.
Luke 12:40 KJV: Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
