The Voices of the Seven Thunders and the Death of the Two Witnesses

[Galgal]

"Lightning" means a striking historical event that occurred at a specific time in a specific place.
"Thunder" means the news of this event.
"The voice of thunder" means the meaning of this event in the biblical key.

Example of "lightning": The Second Coming of Jesus Christ, which will be expressed in the construction of the Third Temple in the Judean Desert, in accordance with the prophecy of Ezekiel, and in the entrance into the eastern gate of the Temple of the saints from all nations, in whom Jesus Christ will be incarnated at the Second Coming.

Time in the Bible is measured in jubilees and weeks of years. The sequence of weeks of years is known to us:

But with them that were in Bethsura he made peace: for they came out of the city, because they had no victuals there to endure the siege, it being a year of rest to the land. (1 Maccabees 6:49)

This event is dated by historians to 164/163 BCE (from autumn to autumn), which allows us to calculate the entire sequence of the Sabbatical years of Israel.

But there is no mention in the Bible of the observance of the Jubilee year by the Jews, and the entire sequence of Jubilee years is unknown to historians. We will have to determine this sequence of Israel's Jubilee years ourselves, based on the Bible.

There is no consensus in Judaism as to whether the jubilee should be every 49 or 50 years. This fact alone indicates that the jubilee was never observed by Israel: it is impossible to fulfill the law of the jubilee year without establishing when this year begins.

The law states that the sequence of Sabbath years begins from the moment of crossing the Jordan, and the next Jubilee begins after the expiration of 7 Sabbath years.

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the Lord. (Leviticus 25:2)

When ye come into the land which I give you - only from this time.

And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
(Leviticus 25:8-10)

This is similar to the celebration of Shavuot (Pentecost), when the law requires counting 7 weeks from the harvest of the First Sheaf. The celebration of Pentecost does not violate the counting of the weekly Sabbaths, therefore the celebration of the Jubilee year should not violate the seven-year cycle for Sabbath years.

It follows that the periodicity of the jubilee years should be 49 years. The first jubilee will be the 50th year, the second - the 99th, the third - the 148th, etc. All that remains is for us to find the starting point, the year when the Israelites under the leadership of Joshua crossed the Jordan.

And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord. (1 Kings 6:1)

King Solomon built the Temple for 7 years.

We can take the approximate year of construction of the Temple by King Solomon from some reference book (we took it from the Catholic reference book - 975 BC), but this date needs to be clarified, "tied" to the Sabbath years, since jubilees are associated with the beginning of the Sabbath years.

Taking into account the 40-year wandering in the desert, we get: 975 + 480 - 40 + 7 = 1422 BC.

But when counting in seven-year periods from 164 BC, the next year following the next, a multiple of seven, will be 1423 BC. We accept this 1423 BC as the year of the entry of the Israelites, led by Joshua, into the land of Israel.

After this we make a sequence of the Jubilees of Israel:

1374 BC, 1325 BC, 1276 BC ........ 2 BC, 48 AD, 97 ......... 2008 ...

Jubilees	___BC_____	Jubilees	___BC_____	Jubilees	___BC/CE___	Jubilees	___CE_____	Jubilees	___CE__+__	Jubilees	___CE_____	Jubilees	___CE_____
1	1374	11	884	21	394	31	97	41	587	51	1077	61	1567
2	1325	12	835	22	345	32	146	42	636	52	1126	62	1616
3	1276	13	786	23	296	33	195	43	685	53	1175	63	1665
4	1227	14	737	24	247	34	244	44	734	54	1224	64	1714
5	1178	15	688	25	198	35	293	45	783	55	1273	65	1763
6	1129	16	639	26	149	36	342	48	832	56	1322	66	1812
7	1080	17	590	27	100	37	391	47	881	57	1371	67	1861
8	1031	18	541	28	51	38	440	48	930	58	1420	68	1910
9	982	19	492	29	2	39	489	49	979	59	1469	69	1959
10	933	20	443	30	48	40	538	50	1028	60	1518	70	2008

How can we now check the correctness of the calculated sequence of jubilee years?

To do this, we will try to find traces of the Holy Spirit's influence in history, indicating a jubilee year. We will go through the entire sequence of jubilee years we received and see what happened in those years, with an accuracy of plus or minus 1 year.

 

[Galgal]

You can do this search yourself, armed with some popular reference book on world history events. I did this work and found that 7 of the entire sequence of jubilees coincided with events that pointed either to a law on the jubilee year or to a significant event in the Church.

1. 20th jubilee - the coincidence of Nehemiah's words about the need to return the lands to the Jews with the law of the jubilee year, dates back to 443 BC.

Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them. (Nehemiah 5:11)

2. 30th jubilee - the decree of the Apostolic Council in Jerusalem on the liberation of the Gentiles from the Mosaic law, 48 AD.

3. 37th jubilee - Decrees of Theodosius 389-392, the ban on paganism and the forced introduction of Christianity, the death of the Church.

4. 40th jubilee - Emperor Justinian builds the largest church, Hagia Sophia, "Solomon, I have surpassed you!", entombs the Body of Christ in the stone buildings of the official religion, 537.

5. 60th jubilee - Reformation: Luther published his 95 Theses in 1517, Zwingli began his sermons in 1519. This marked the disintegration of the body of the Church into many denominations.

6. 66th jubilee - A charismatic leader tried to conquer Russia: Napoleon's invasion. Napoleon can serve as a prototype of the Antichrist: he was loved by the people, Christians, and occupied a place in their hearts that should have belonged to Jesus Christ. Napoleon's invasion of Russia: 1812.

7. 67th jubilee - The end of serfdom in Russia (reform of Alexander II), liberation from slavery in the USA (beginning of the civil war). 1861. We see how the ideas of the Bible gradually gained strength and began to be embodied in increasingly large-scale historical phenomena.

So, the "voices of the seven thunders":

1. Return of the land to the Jews.
2. Freedom from the law to the Gentiles.
3. Death of the Church.
4. Burial of the Church.
5. Disintegration of the Church.
6. Collapse of the Antichrist.
7. Freedom for all people.

And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
(Revelation 10:3,4)

What do we get from this?

It has been proven that the 70th anniversary of Israel began on Rosh Hashanah, September 29, 2008, and this day was marked by a historical record for the fall of the Dow Jones index, 777 points in one day.

It has been shown that Israel and the Church have a common destiny: the jubilee years have been reflected in both Jewish history and the history of the Church.

Now about the Two Witnesses.

These Two Witnesses are not two people at all, as many think. In Revelation it is said that these two prophets are two olive trees. Such "two olive trees" are written about in Romans 11. The first olive tree is the Jews, faithful to God, and the second olive tree is the Gentiles, faithful to the same God in Jesus Christ.

The beginning of the "prophecy" of the first witness, Judaism, was with the construction of the Second Temple in Adar (March) 516 BC. The end of the prophecy of the second witness, Christianity, came on March 28, 2005, when all of Christianity ignored the greatest sign from God - the coincidence of two powerful earthquakes with the two main holidays of Christianity, Christmas 2004 and Easter 2005.

From the construction of the Second Temple in March 516 BC to the earthquake of March 28, 2005, exactly 1260 + 1260 = 2520 years passed. These "two witnesses" prophesied in turn, but there is no exact boundary between the "death" of the first and the beginning of the prophecy of the second witness. Therefore, the terms of the "prophecy" are summed up, and days are replaced by years, as is the case in the prophecies of the Bible, for example Ezekiel 4:6.

There are about 10 earthquakes of such force as the ones that occurred at Christmas 2004 and Easter 2005 per century. The coincidence of a pair of such earthquakes with two given dates, with an accuracy of ±1 day, occurs approximately once every 1.5 million years. This was a completely unique event, but when there were no prophets left in Christianity, this sign was ignored. This is the visible sign of the death of the Christian religion.

These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. (Revelation 11:6)

The first witness, Judaism, knew how to shut up heaven:

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. (Matthew 23:13)

Pharisaic Christianity did the same. And the "two witnesses" will strike the earth with plagues when the time of the bowls of wrath comes:

And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
(Revelation 16:3,4)

These plagues will be the result of centuries of preaching by Judaism and Christianity.

Besides Romans 11, the two witnesses are shown in Ezekiel 37. Just like in Revelation, dry bones are lying on the surface of the ground. Just like in Revelation, the spirit of life from God enters into the dead bodies. And just like in Revelation, it is written that they "stood up upon their feet."

There, in the 37th chapter, it is written that these bones are the two houses of Israel: the house of Judah (the Jews) and the house of Joseph (Ephraim, the lost tribes of Israel, scattered among the nations and now gathered by the Gospel). It is written that the stick of Joseph (Christians) will be applied to the stick of Judah (Judaism of the Jews). Not the other way around! The awakening of the dead bones will occur when Ezekiel prophesies, that is, when Ezekiel's prophecy about the construction of the Third Temple will be fulfilled.

Well, and in order to somehow connect Israel's Jubilee years with the theme of the Two Witnesses, it must be said that from the “death” of the Second Witness, Christianity, on March 28, 2005, until the 70th Jubilee of Israel on September 29, 2008, exactly THREE AND A HALF YEARS passed.

 

[Galgal]

Since the crossing of the Jordan was in 1423 BC, we find other dates:

Exodus from Egypt - 1463 BC
Flight of Moses into the desert - 1503 BC
Birth of Moses - 1543 BC

It turns out that the adoptive mother of Moses was Queen Hatshepsut, the wife of Pharaoh Thutmose II. She had no other sons, and when her husband died, the underage Pharaoh Thutmose III ascended the throne. It was he who would hate Moses, because he was afraid that Hatshepsut would want to enthrone Moses in his place. Thutmose III was of humble origin, the son of a concubine. When Moses killed an Egyptian, Thutmose III wanted to kill Moses, but Hatshepsut carried out a coup d'etat and removed Thutmose III. She became a female pharaoh and would have liked to have Moses by her side, but Moses went into the desert and did not want to return to Egypt to become co-regent with Hatshepsut. Queen Hatshepsut ruled for about 20 years, and when she died, Thutmose III returned to the throne. He also ruled for about 20 years (23 years. Probably, considering the term that was at the beginning).

And the Lord said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life. (Exodus 4:19)

for all the men are dead which sought thy life - Hatshepsut, who loved Moses and dreamed of seeing him on the throne, died; Thutmose III, who hated Moses and wanted to kill him, died.

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
(Hebrews 11:24-26)

 

[Galgal]

The Book of Jubilees ends with the crossing of the Jordan, when the 50th jubilee from the creation of Adam should begin. In the Book of Jubilees, the periodicity of jubilees is 49 years, as in my calculations. If we count all the jubilees from Adam, then on September 29, 2008, on Rosh Hashanah, the 120th jubilee began. But I would prefer to count the jubilees from the crossing of the Jordan, because the Torah indicates such a beginning for counting the jubilees.

 

[ScottA]

I marvel at the calculations. It is absolutely fascinating how some are so accurate! But such is the counting of the trees in the forest, when the the bigger picture is the forest itself.

The voice of seven thunders speaks specifically about the finish of the mystery of God as He declared to His servants the prophets. It is the final revelation that was shown to John 2,000 years ago, but then sealed until the time of the end just before the sounding of the seventh angel and time no longer.

The two witnesses are two of the three that bear witness on earth: the water and the blood, meaning those born of water, and those born again of the shed blood of Christ. Two witnesses--one body of Christ by the Spirit.
