I have no explanation for why I don’t post nearly as often as I used to while believing more and more that our Blessed Hope, the Rapture, is nearer than ever.
The fever pitched response from other evangelical Watchmen on the Wall to the events of October 7th that occurred in Israel was completely normal and what would be expected. I can find no fault with their passionate desire to deliver the message that Christ’s return is near while the audience that was just shocked awake from their slumber is still receptive. To date, the accepted number of Israeli Jews who were murdered by Hamas is 1,200, including 40 babies. An unknown number of women were brutally raped. 240 Israeli citizens were kidnapped and taken hostage by the terrorists back to Gaza. 70 days later only 110 hostages have been rescued, traded, or released. All of them have been mistreated or beaten and tortured. This day is said to be the worst antisemitic attack on Jews since the Holocaust ended just over 75 years ago.
This is what I came up with after asking myself, after asking God, “What should I write about?”
Summarize the most significant events to happen since the Holy Day Blood Moons and the Revelation 12 Sign of 2007.
I was actually quite surprised how long the list became after I started reviewing the events that I’ve cataloged in the Times of the Signs section of this website.
The following abbreviated list should be thought of as a record of birth pangs. The purpose of this article is to point out that the woman’s birth experience in John 16:21 is a natural, drawn out process, it is not a caesarian section that is scheduled and completed in an hour.
A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.
If you didn’t already know, ‘the woman’ in this biblical prophecy is symbolic of Israel. Yeshua, the Messiah, came from Israel and as He promised, will come again for Israel as the Lion of Judah. Israel is approaching a difficult time of persecution unlike any before. This time is known as ‘The Time of Jacob’s Trouble’ At the end of this Tribulation what happens? The remnant, All Israel, will call out for Yeshua and then the Second Coming of Yeshua, Jesus Christ will occur, and as written in Romans 11, all Israel will be saved (Romans 11:26 ) .
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:
“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
For this is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.”
Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Hamas has recently refused to the terms of a cease fire to release more of the remaining one hundred or so Israeli hostages so Israeli’s war against Hamas in Gaza continues.
As of late, the calls for “Peace and Safety” or “Peace and Security” can be heard from many sources throughout the world on what must certainly be a daily basis, like never before.
Little regard or acknowledgement is being given to the fact that Israel did not start this war. Almost 500 Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldiers have lost their lives in the last 2 1/2 months.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s primary objective is the complete elimination of Hamas. Currently, there is a $400,000. bounty for the capture or death of Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas.

Just to satisfy my own curiosity, if I find the time, I’ll total the number of extremely large earthquakes and volcanic eruptions during this 7-year period of time for comparison to 1999-2006.
In retrospect, I’d say the Revelation 12 Sign which has been shown in great detail to depict the birth of Yeshua as well as the Rapture of the Church is also about Israel’s upcoming persecution by the coming Anti-Christ…which may have already started as evidenced by the events of October 7th and the global calls for ‘Peace and Safety’.
Speaking of the Anti-Christ, in Daniel 8:25 we read, “and by peace he will destroy many” (KJV).
“And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand;
and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many:
he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true:
wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.”
What next?
I am not a date setter and never have been. However, to completely disregard the importance of specific dates in history is to show contempt for the Word of God himself.
More than anything else, God has commanded us to “Watch” for the signs of his return and he has specifically told us in Luke 21:25-31, that,
“… there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea”
Anyone who is not watching is either simply ignorant of Bible Prophecy, or an unbeliever.
The 2nd Total Solar Eclipse across America will happen next year, on April 8, 2024.
I have no idea whether anything other the eclipse will happen on that specific day, yet it is my belief that this event is symbolic of an upcoming judgement against America. When superimposed over each other, the paths of these two eclipses from 2017 and 2024 intersect near Carbondale Illinois over SE Missouri, SW Illinois, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Whether this is an omen of a great impending earthquake in the New Madrid fault remains to be seen. The paths of these two total eclipse events span a period of 7 years, coincided with other astronomical events, and appear to create a giant letter ‘X’ crossing out or nullifying the United States of America.
The United States of America is Israel’s only major ally. The USA is also the last major sovereign country that is an impediment to Globalism leading to the Global government which the Anti-Christ will rule over. If America’s ability to be the big brother protector of Israel is neutralized, then Israel will have to rely on God to be saved from her enemies which surround her on all sides.
Certainly the woman’s birth pangs will increase in frequency and severity as the convergence continues.
Stay tuned… Watch… Look Up for Your Redemption Draws Near!
Whoever calls on the name of the Lord God Yeshua will be saved.
Yeshua is Salvation.
