Introduction To This Page
|
It is important for us to understand that the whole of scripture, not just the books of Daniel, Matthew 24, and Revelations speak to us about the end times. The Old Testament together with the New Testament forms the whole of the end-time picture, from Genesis right through to the book of Revelations. The Old Testament gives us types and shadows, and the New Testament reflects these types and shadows. What was, will surely be again.
There are many who are now starting to see that what we have thought to be a set time and way is drastically different from the actual reality clearly shown in scripture by these types and shadows. We |
can see this if we take the whole of the Word of God into consideration. Many people do not question what they have been taught all these years. Some who are new in studying eschatology, and some who are not new, find themselves scratching their heads wondering how all of this will fit into seven years.
The information on this page will give you a different view. At first glance you may feel the urge to resist or dismiss the revelation given. This is how we are "wired", to not want to give up on our set ideas or opinions. However, if you look not to man, but to God, and most importantly search the Word for yourself, you will see how He has been speaking to us through these types and shadows in His Word, as well as Heaven's Blueprint, the Tabernacle. This page serves as a foundational understanding about the end times and is by no means the whole of the picture. It also serves to help you with understanding certain terms and time periods I use in my teachings.
I want to give credit where credit is due. This end-time understanding comes from a ministry that Father guided me to called Ministry Revealed, which at first I rejected. But He took me back again, and when the veil lifted, I was humbled by these revelations that are so clear when understood in their proper place. Most of what is written here is from their book, "The End Times Revealed Like Never Before", myself ultimately being a part of the team putting it together. Therefore, I endorse this book wholeheartedly.
What I share here is only the very bare minimum to give you a foundational understanding when I mention this in my teachings. So much more is to be found in this book, apart from the little I share here on this page. Permission was given to use extracts to share on this site.

The Queen of the South and Her Virgins
|
|
The term "Worker Bride" may be new to you, as well as the identity of the "Queen of the South" who Yashua mentions in Luke 11 when His disciples asked Him what the signs of the end time will be. There are many views on who this queen is, but we can get a clear understanding of her when we study the Queen next to the King in Psalm 45. Please watch this video to gain the necessary understanding of the identity of the Queen and the virgins who follow her as a type and shadow for the time to come. These virgins are also His Fair Maidens.

Daniel 12:4; 9 4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. |
The Three Synoptic Gospels
Introduction
As you read the first three gospels, you will likely see countless similarities. However, a closer reading reveals some differences in the details. Are these differences the same as contradictions? And what would be the reason for them being there? Are the Gospels reliable if certain details are different from each other? God's Word is perfect; there can be no contradiction. God cannot lie. Everything the scriptures say is completely true. While Christians recognize this truth, we also understand that if you put the four Gospels side by side, you would discover incongruities, which we cannot deny. A perceptive reader might ask, “What is going on here? Did it happen that way or that way?" The reason for the differences and apparent contradictions are in fact that the synoptic gospels are speaking to different people groups.

Mark & Matthew:
Tribulation The term "tribulation" (G2347) means "tribulation, affliction, trouble, anguish, persecution, burdened, and to be afflicted" (with G1519). When you search the word “tribulation” (G2347) on blueletterbible.org, it appears in the Olivet discourses of Mark and Matthew. However, not only is this word "tribulation" not found in Luke’s Olivet discourse, it is not found anywhere in Luke’s gospel! Mark 13:19
For in those days shall be affliction (G2347), such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. Mark 13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation (G2347), the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light. Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted (G2347), and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation (2347) 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: |
This is probably a good scripture with which to start:
Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last. For many be called, but few chosen. This is literally letting us know that in the end those who were first shall be last, and those who were last shall be first. So with this in mind, out of the synoptic gospels who would then be first? Luke, followed by Mark, and finally Matthew.
Luke was written to the Gentile Bride, Mark to the Left-Behind Church, and Matthew to the Jews. Isaiah 46:10
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done. Most people have been taught from Matthew what will be in the end. And because Matthew is first in the Bible, it is actually last, because the first shall be last, and the last first. Matthew comes last, not first. This means that you have, without knowing it, been taught the end times from the end.
Luke: When you search the word “redemption” (G629) or "redeemed" (G3085), as well as the word “salvation" (G4991) in the Strong's Concordance, you will see that it is found only in the Gospel of Luke and not even once in Mark or Matthew. And the reason for this is that it shows us that the Bride (LUKE) will be redeemed from what is to come, whereas the Left-Behind Church (MARK) and Jews (MATTHEW) will have to face tribulation. Luke 21:28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption (G629) draweth nigh. Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption (G629) of our body. Those with the “first fruits” of the Spirit are the Bride of Christ; she is the first fruits of the wheat harvest of the feasts of weeks.
Additional scriptures for redemption are Luke 1: 68 and Luke 2: 38. Luke 1:69
And hath raised up an horn of salvation (G4991) for us in the house of his servant David Luke 1:71 That we should be saved (G4991) from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us. Luke 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation (G4991) unto his people by the remission of their sins. |
Great Tribulation
And the term “great tribulation” is only found once in the whole of the Bible.
And the term “great tribulation” is only found once in the whole of the Bible.
Matthew 24:21
For then shall be great tribulation (G2347), such as was
not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor
ever shall be.
For then shall be great tribulation (G2347), such as was
not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor
ever shall be.
The word “tribulation” in Mark is a representation during the years of Seals, and the term “great tribulation” only in Matthew, is represented during the years of Trumpets -- or as many have come to know it, "Jacob’s Trouble".
Conclusion of the Three Synoptic Gospels:
The words “redemption, redeemed and salvation” are found only in the synoptic Gospel of Luke. While the words “tribulation" and "great tribulation” are found in both Mark and Matthew. This begins to shed a little light that there appears to be something more going on with the gospels and that they may be written to different people groups.

Revealed in the Robe:
Yashua's Garment During the Crucifixion
Yashua's Garment During the Crucifixion
You are about to understand that these colors are very descriptive as to whom the gospels are speaking. Let us once again consider to whom the three synoptic gospels are speaking, being Luke - the Bride, Mark - the Left Behind Church, and Matthew - the Jews. The following scriptures are all related to His crucifixion and the color robe He wore of the same account in each Gospel.
|
Luke 23:11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous (G2986) robe, and sent him again to Pilate. |
Luke:
"Gorgeous" (G2986) means "radiant; by analogy limpid; figuratively magnificent or sumptuous (in appearance): bright, clear , gay, goodly, gorgeous, white". Notice that it is white in the same way that we expect a wedding dress to be. “White” also happens to be the meaning of the name LUKE (G3022) "λευκός leukos lyoo-kos' from λύκη lukē ('light'); white" |
|
Mark 15:17 And they clothed him with purple (G4209), and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head. |
Mark:
"Purple" (G4209) is of Latin origin and means "the “purple” mussel, that is, (by implication) the red blue color itself, and finally, a garment dyed with it: - purple". As a side note, when we fall or have been hit or run into something, we get bruised and it turns a red blue color or purple, and it leaves a MARK. |
|
Matthew 27:28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet (G2847) robe. |
Matthew:
"Scarlet" (G2847) is "from G2848 (from the kernel shape of the insect); crimson colored: - scarlet (color, colored)". |
Now as much as I said this is about the synoptic gospels of Luke, Mark, and Matthew, this time there is an exception. And that is because John’s gospel reveals a great piece of revelation for the end times as well.
|
John 19:5 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple (G4210) robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! |
John:
"Purple" (G4210) is "from G4209; purpureal, that is, bluish red: - purple". This "purple" (G4210) in John is different from the "purple" (G4209) in Mark. But what makes this so amazing is we see that the "purple" (G4210) of John “comes from” the "purple" (G4209) of Mark. This bluish red color speaks of priesthood, the very same colors that were used to make the High Priest's ephod. Note, it is only in the book of John where Yashua's High Priestly prayer is written (John 17). John represents the Worker Bride, the priests set apart unto the Lord. There is a "John the Baptist" in the Seals period of the Tribulation and a "John the Beloved" in the Trumpets period of the Tribulation. They both come from the Bride. These priests represent the 144,000 virgins. |

Father has given me the gift of dream interpretation, and people often share their dreams with me to help them with understanding. The Word says that our gift will make a way for us. Because of this, Sister Donna of "Servant of God" YouTube channel, has shared numerous dreams of hers with me. Sister Donna did not have any previous understanding of the robe colors and what they mean. She had a dream of these colors and shared it with me needing interpretation. At this time, she knew very little about me personally as well. Please watch this YouTube video that serves as a confirmation of the above, especially now that you have more understanding.

The Final Words of Yashua Spoken on the Cross...
”My God, My God, Why hast Thou Forsaken Me?"
”My God, My God, Why hast Thou Forsaken Me?"
We all know the well-known last words of Yashua on the cross, “My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” But did you know that the word “forsaken” means “left behind”? Once again you will find the contrast in the three synoptic gospels that shows the distinction of the three people groups of LUKE, MARK, and MATTHEW.
|
Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend (G3908) my spirit and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. |
Luke:
Yashua "commended" (G3908) His spirit in Luke’s account, which means "to place alongside". |
|
Mark 15:34
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? Which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken (G1459) me? |
Mark:
"Forsaken" (G1459) is "from G1722 and G2641; to leave behind". |
|
Matthew 27:46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken (G1459) me? |
Matthew:
"Forsaken" G1459 is "from G1722 and G2641; to leave behind". |
Conclusion of the Final Words:
In both Mark and Matthew, Yashua cries out, “Father why have you left me behind?” Was Yashua left behind? No! So what was the purpose of Him crying out “left behind” in those two accounts, but yet again, not in Luke’s? It clearly was not for Him. And of course in Luke, the representation of the Bride of Christ, Yashua says, “Father, place me along your side!” This revelation is clear and easy to grasp.

God's Harvest Model

BARLEY HARVEST
FROM PENTACOST ACTS 2 |
WHEAT HARVEST
FROM BEGINNING OF SEALS LUKE / MARK |
GRAPE HARVEST
FROM BEGINNING OF TRUMPETS MATTHEW |
I would like to just quickly draw your attention to the harvest model found in scripture that is applicable to LUKE, MARK, and MATTHEW. This understanding will also help you when you hear me talking about it in my teachings.

|
There are 3 specific main harvest models in scripture:
1. The Barley Harvest 2. The Wheat Harvest 3. The Grape Harvest And the harvest model of each consists of 3 parts: 1. The first fruits 2. The main harvest 3. The corners or gleanings |
Leviticus 23:22 22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the Lord your God. |
Summary Of The Harvest Model:
These three harvests are each divided into first fruits, main harvest, and corners and gleanings.
1. The Barley Harvest is the harvest that Yeshua represents. He is the first fruits brought in. The main harvest was the believers during Christ’s period, those spoken of in Matthew 27:52-53 who were raised from the dead. The corners (gleanings) are those few remaining who come to believe at the very end of this cycle.
2. The Wheat Harvest is also divided into a first fruits, which is the Bride of Christ that will have escaped all these things coming. The main harvest is the left behind or great multitude that we read of standing before the Lamb in Revelation 7: 9 - 11 that has gone through the Seals judgment, having been raptured. Then we have the corners (gleanings), once again those few remaining who come in at the very end of this harvest cycle.
3. We then have the Grape Harvest, which is that of the Jews/Judah, of which the first fruits are the 144,000 as we read in Revelation 14: 1. The main harvest is the Jews/Judah that will return unto their Messiah at His coming feet down on the Mount of Olives, having gone through Trumpets. And lastly the corners (gleanings) are again those few towards the very end of the 7th year cycle when the Lord comes at the end.
See picture diagram below.
BARLEY HARVEST First Fruits: Yashua Lamb of the Passover 1 Corinthians 15:20-24 Leviticus 23:10 First Fruits (H7225) Main Harvest: Them that slept Matthew 15:22 Corners & Gleanings: Those few remaining who come to believe at the very end of this cycle |
WHEAT HARVEST First Fruits: Bride of Christ (LUKE) Leviticus 23:17 First Fruits (H1061) Revelations 5:11-12 Main Harvest: Church left behind (MARK) Revelation 7:9-17 Corners & Gleanings: Those few towards the very end of this cycle when the Lord's 7th year of Seals comes to an end |
GRAPE HARVEST First Fruits: 144,000 (JOHN) Revelation 14:1 Main Harvest: Judah/Israelites (MATTHEW) that will return unto their Messiah at His return on the Mount of Olives (feet down) Corners & Gleanings: Those few towards the very end of this cycle when the Lord's 7th year of Trumpets comes to an end |
The Workers and the Watches
|
This section should be read/studied with the "The Harvest Workers of the Tribulation" diagram below. The whole of the tribulation is about bringing in the harvest of the Lord. He is the Lord of the Harvest. The harvests consist of souls. There are three main harvests. The first main harvest is the Barley Harvest and refers to when Christ was here and laid his life down, as well as His disciples. Yashua and His disciples are the first fruits of the Barley Harvest. However, the Tribulation consists of the two other main harvests... the Wheat Harvest and the Grape Harvest. We need to know |
which harvest refers to which people. The Wheat Harvest refers to the Gentile Bride. The Grape Harvest refers to the Jewish Bride.
The Father will send workers or laborers into the field to bring in this harvest of souls at their respective time. At the end of the Tribulation, there will be a Marriage Supper, and we read in Revelation 21 how the Wife of the Lamb comes down consisting of all the laborers of both the Wheat and the Grape Harvests.
Once you understand the diagram and then return to Revelation 21 about the description of the Wife of the Lamb, it will make perfect sense. The Wife of the Lamb is both Jew and Gentile where the two have become one. She is compared to a city, the New Jerusalem, and a city has to be built. These harvesters or workers in the field are also builders. They are building the house of God that consists of redeemed souls. Therefore, both terms "harvesters" and "builders" are used for the Worker Bride.

John, The Chapters-to-Years Book
The book of John, being referred to as the "Chapter-to-Years" book, is revealing to us types and shadows of how the years in the Great Tribulation will play out in the time to come according to the different chapters. To give us some clarity as to why the book of John is the "Chapter to Years" book, we have to go the story of Jacob and his two wives.
|
The Story of Jacob and His Two Wives:
In Genesis 29 we read of the account where Jacob fell in love with Rachel. He was then told by Laban, her father, that if he wished to marry Rachel, he would have to work 7 years for her. Jacob then got to work, and the Word says that these 7 years went by quickly for him. At the end of these 7 years, after the wedding, he expected to wake up next to Rachel but instead it was her older sister, Leah. Laban told him that it was their custom to marry off the older before the younger, and if he still wanted to marry Rachel, then he would have to work another 7 years. Jacob did so and then also had to work another 6 years for the cattle as well. What we have here is two sets of 7 and 6 years making it a grand total of 20 years. When looking at the book of John, you will see that it has 21 chapters. So now if you look at what happens after the first 7 chapters of John, chapter 8 begins with a woman caught in adultery. Yashua is bent over to write in the sand as the crowd asked Him what He thought they should do with her. And as many know, the story goes on to say that Yashua said, “He who is without sin let him cast the first stone.” And they left convicted within themselves knowing they had all sinned. Then Yashua bent over again to write in the sand. When He looked up again, all those that had been accusing her were now gone. And it then says in John 8:9-10: |
John 8:9-10 9 And they, which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman... The First Seven Years of Jacob in John:
Luke: (The Bride/ Leah - the Gentile Bride) Who does this Gentile woman caught in adultery represent? "And Yashua having been bent down on the ground, looked up and saw no other but her standing before Him." What does this sound like to you? Kind of like a wedding proposal? He is bent down on one knee, looking up and only seeing her. |
|
Ruth, the Gentile Bride:
At first glance, the first question should be why would one think that this adulterous woman in John 8 is the Gentile Bride? Why would He marry an adulterous woman? For this we have to look at the story of Ruth who was a Moabite, therefore a Gentile. She was betrothed to Boaz, the kinsman redeemer. The Strong's Concordance tells us exactly what a Gentile is. Ruth 2:8-10
8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens: 9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn. 10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger? (H5237) |
|
Ruth, this Gentile bride to be of Boaz, the kinsman redeemer, calls herself a stranger. So let us see what this word means. "Stranger" (H5237) applications (foreign, non-relative, adulterous, different, wonderful): - alien, foreigner, outlandish, strange (-r, woman). This word “adulterous” it turns out is also a term used for a woman who is a foreigner, meaning Gentile. It sounds harsh to us, but it is the same as when Jesus called the woman in Mark 7 a dog. An adulterer can and is also used to describe a Gentile woman. This IS the type and shadow of John 8. The adulterous woman, with Yashua on the ground extending her grace, is Leah. Leah was said to be tender eyed, which means softened and penitent. The Bride is said to be His Beloved who has "Dove's eyes" in Song of Solomon. She also represents the Worker Bride as she is told by Him to go. He is sending her out.
Another example of the Gentile Bride is the woman at the well. We read about her in John 4. She was a Samaritan, and after she was told that she was guilty of adultery as well, having had five husbands, she then goes out to the town and told all to come and meet the man at the well who knew all things, the One who was prophesied about. She too represents the Worker Bride that will be sent out during the Tribulation to tell all of the grace she has received and of His salvation.

Romans 9:24-25
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 As he saith also in Osee (G5617), I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 As he saith also in Osee (G5617), I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
|
The Second 7 Years of Jacob in John:
Mark: (The Left Behind / Rachel - The Fullness of the Gentiles Completed) So now after Jacob has finished his first 7 years and gets Leah (Luke) as his first bride, he is told for Rachel, the one he really wanted, that he could have her too but that he would need to complete another 7 years. So if we follow along in John now to chapter 14, we find... |
John 14:1-3
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare (G2090) a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare (G2090) a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. |
It just so happens that it was in that chapter of John where He was speaking to a group of people letting them know He would “come again” for them with this place “prepared”.
Click here to access a dream I had illustrating the
Worker Bride (Leah), helping the Left Behind Bride (Rachel)
to the place prepared for her.
Worker Bride (Leah), helping the Left Behind Bride (Rachel)
to the place prepared for her.
|
We find a further confirmation of Leah, the older, helping the younger sister, Rachel, in that during harvest time when the winter wheat, known as the older wheat, is harvested first. This older wheat is used as a cover crop, which is not for harvesting purposes, but is left in the field to cover the spring wheat.
You can read here for more understanding on cover crop. Genesis 29:26-27
26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn. 27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. In other words, the older wheat or Leah, represents the firstborn. I have a teaching called "Firstborn at His Right Hand" where I speak about the Fair Maidens, the Workers, who are the firstborn. They are the lilies in the wheat field. They represent those who will put their necks on the line for the church, which is the Worker Group represented by Priscilla and Aquila in Romans 16. This is the period during Seals judgment up until the fulness of the Gentiles has come. This is also the section in God's Harvest Model above known as the main portion of the wheat harvest.

John 12:24-26
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. 
Romans 16:3-4 3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: 4 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. The book of John is not the only book in the Bible whose chapters line up with the years of the tribulation. If you wish to have a greater understanding with regard to how the different books of the Bible line up their chapters to the years, this teaching of Ministry Revealed will give a more in- depth understanding.

The Last 6 Years of Jacob in John:
Matthew (The Jews / Jacob's Trouble) Next in Jacob’s story we read he then works 6 more years for the cattle. And at the end of those years we read in Genesis 31 that he has completed working for his father-in-law a total of 20 years (7 easy ones received Leah/“Luke”, 7 more for Rachel/“Mark”, and final 6 for cattle/“Matthew”). And so if we now go to John chapter 20 we find it is the resurrection of Yashua and His final instructions to His disciples. |
John 20:19-21
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. 21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. |
This is the literal type and shadow of Yashua's return, feet down at the end of the 6 years of Trumpets.
And did you notice? In all the synoptic gospels the story of Yashua’s return at the resurrection is found in the last chapter of their books, with the final instructions He gives them. However, in John it is in the second last chapter of his book. It is the end of the story. Even though there is “one” chapter left in John, this is all a representation of Him having returned after 20 years.
Now what should be on your minds at this point is what on earth is this talking about after 20 years? Or why 7 easy years (having gone quickly pass for Jacob) to Luke’s group, leaving 13 more years, of which 7 are for Mark’s group, and the last 6 for Matthew’s group? And why does John then still have “one” more chapter/year?

When The Years Just Don't Add Up
Have you ever thought to yourself that you just cannot see how everything we have been told could fit into 7 years? Many have been struggling with this thought.
In this section, we would like to present some examples in scripture and some research, of which there is plenty more, that clearly confirms that the Tribulation will actually be 2 sets of 7 years for a total of 14 years and not the 7 years we have been taught. I will also be showing you the Strong’s Concordance meaning that comes with each word we will be discussing. Every word in scripture is assigned a number which either has an H (Hebrew) or G (Greek) meaning for our clarification and understanding. This has been a great source of help in being able to open the end-time understanding (an example is H7103 or G7103).

The Fourteen Years Spoken of by Paul 2 Corinthians 12:2 4, 14 2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. And when we get down to verse 14, we find out he is speaking in this chapter as now coming the third time. 14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. |
The First 7-Year Group - Luke / Gentile Bride You will note in verse 2 that it says “such an one” which is the word (G5108); as well as the words “caught up”, which is (G726), to the third heaven. G5108 means “of this sort or like”, meaning this first event is “like” a “caught up”. G726 means harpazō (har-pad'-zo) from a derivative of G138; to seize (in various applications): - catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force). Or it also means as most have come to understand it, "rapture"! So verse 2 would read as: "Above 14 years ago, one was “like” a “rapture” taken to the Third Heaven." When we refer to the Bride of Christ being raptured, we need to use the word “escape” which comes from Luke 21: 36. Luke 21:36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always that ye may be accounted worthy to escape ALL these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. |
This “escape” from all things that shall come to pass is the “like” a “rapture” to the Third Heaven where they will be standing before the Son of Man.
That was only verse 2 speaking of the first event. But as we continue reading through verses 3 and 4, we see Paul then telling us of another event.
That was only verse 2 speaking of the first event. But as we continue reading through verses 3 and 4, we see Paul then telling us of another event.

The Second 7-Year Group - Mark / Left Behind
In verses 3 - 4 of 2 Corinthians 12 you will note the words: "And I knew such a man... how that he “was” caught up (G726) into paradise." This second group is not defined as the first, being “like”, but is clearly telling us this one, “was” “caught up”, which is G726 harpazō (har- pad'-zo) from a derivative of G138; to seize (in various applications): - catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force). Again, as most have come to understand it, this is the word "raptured"! However, this time it is not to the third heaven as per verse 2, but to paradise. Now that is pretty clear. It tells us that the first one was LIKE a rapture/ harpazō and the second one WAS a rapture/ harpazō! |
We find greater clarity of this exact wording, “was caught up”, in Revelation 12: 5, which also helps us understand this timing.
Revelation 12:5
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up (G726) unto God, and to his throne. |
I am certain many of you have heard that that Revelation 12: 5 is speaking to what is known as the "pre-tribulation rapture of the church". However, this clearly must be questioned now. Because according to the understanding by Paul, this “was” “caught up” is not the first rapture-like event. It is the second! And we can prove this out more. Let’s first go to Isaiah.
Isaiah 66:7
7 Before she travailed (H2342), she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
7 Before she travailed (H2342), she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
Many have used this verse to prove that the pre-tribulation will happen first. The key here is, “Before she travails”, which is H2342 and means "to writhe in pain, travail (with pain), be in pain, - bear, (make to) bring forth". I think you get the picture. So this is telling us “before” she begins travailing in pain, she brings forth. There was a birth. This “before” truly is the pre-tribulation rapture or as we call it, “escape”. And this escape will be that of the Bride of Christ.
However, we have an issue here with what the churches have taught. Because if the “was” caught up we read about in Revelation 12:5 is to be the pre-tribulation rapture, why is it happening AFTER the travailing in birth pains and the birth following those travailing pains from verses 2 - 5? The answer is that this “was” caught up in Revelation 12:5 is not Isaiah 66:7’s pre- tribulation rapture. It is Paul's second event called, “was” caught up” of 2 Corinthians 12:3-4. And Paul’s first event “like” caught up, is Isaiah 66:7’s “before” she travailed, pre-tribulation escape/rapture! This explains why the one goes to the third heaven and the other to paradise.
In other words:
Escape: 2 Corinthians 12: 2 goes with Isaiah 66: 7
Rapture: 2 Corinthians 12: 3-4 goes with Revelation 12:5
But Paul is not done yet. Remember in verse 14 he goes on to tell us, “the third time”? We have just covered the pre-tribulation escape to Luke, which is above 14 years. We have also covered the second event as the mid-tribulation rapture of Mark, which will be the 7th year rest of Seals. Who is left? The third and final group of course is Matthew. And this is the group in the end-time type and shadow to whom this whole conversation is being spoken. He is recounting to them the events that have happened prior to his coming the third time.

The Third 7-Year Group - Matthew / Jews
2 Corinthians 12:14
14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. |
Paul, in this chapter, is the type of Christ. And we saw that the first and second time it was a taking away to another place. Yet this third time he says he is coming to them. And what do we know this means at the end? The Lord is returning feet down on the Mount of Olives, and the promised Millennial Reign will soon begin with each tribe finally receiving their land inheritance.
|
Another consideration and type and shadow is the birth of Ishmael and Isaac (Genesis 11:27; 25:11). Ishmael is a type and shadow of the anti-Christ and Isaac of Christ. Abraham was 86 years of age when he had Ishmael and Isaac was born when he was 99 years of age, which makes it a 13-year difference. The 14th year would be the time of Judgment when He, our Isaac, has already come feet down on the Mount of Olives.
Conclusion of 14 Years Spoken by Paul:
The order of events will be:
1. The first group is the ESCAPE (Luke/The Bride/Leah), before (above) the fourteen years begin. In other words, this group represents the 7 years ("easy" years of Jacob) before the 14-year tribulation begins.
2. Next, the second group is the RAPTURE (Mark/Gentile/Left Behind/Rachel) which follows in the 7th year of rest toward the end of the 7 seals.
3. Finally, the third group is those who will see Him COMING DOWN TO THEM (Matthew/Jews/Cattle) at the end of 13 years to fulfill the 14th and final year of the Great Tribulation.
And here you clearly see in these examples THE BIG PICTURE GIVEN IN THE STORY OF JACOB!

Remembering Heaven's Blueprint, the Tabernacle (which can be found on our Tabernacle Page, we can see how this order of events is even shown to us in the different parts of the Tabernacle. We must also remember that the first shall be last and the last shall be first. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, this too is shown in Heaven's Blueprint.
1. The outer court represents the flesh. It also represents the earth or Egypt. Adam was brought forth from out of the earth. This would be in the type and shadow of Adam being created in Genesis and saying "She is flesh of my flesh". This represents the Matthew/Jews group that will be raised up at the last to rule and reign during the Millennial Reign on earth. They are the CHILDREN OF JACOB/Jacob's Trouble.
2. The inner court represents the creatures. This is the seals period, or wilderness period. These are the creatures awaiting the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God written in Romans 8. In the creation account they are represented by the animals and all of creation created with the heavenly hosts. This then represents the Mark/Left Behind group, the group that will go to paradise. They are the CHILDREN OF ISAAC/the lost sheep of Israel, Rachel whom He loved - the Gentiles.
3. The Holy of Holies represents the Spirit. This is where the Spirit hovered over the waters and God said, "Let there be light". Remember, the name "Luke" means "light and white". These are those who no longer walk after the dictates of the flesh but are controlled by the Spirit, written in Romans 8:1-2, the sons and daughters of God that will be made manifest to all of creation. They represent Luke/The Bride who will escape all these things and be caught up into the third heaven. They are the CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM...They live by faith/seed of Abraham.

Genesis 31:41
Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
The reality is that there is plenty of scripture to support all three beliefs of pre-tribulation rapture, mid-tribulation rapture, and post-tribulation return. I can speak for myself when I say before the books began to open, I bounced back and forth a few times between believing it was “pre” compared to “mid”. The reason was because the scriptures that were being presented by those in their position of “pre” and “mid” were convincing to support their position. However, as the books began to open, and I understood that the gospels were speaking to different groups in their end-time understanding, then the 14 years began to reveal itself and I could clearly see the truth... THEY ARE ALL TRUE!
Once again, the Tribulation will consist of a pre-tribulation "escape', then a mid-tribulation "rapture", and at the end conclude with Yashua returning with His feet on the Mount of Olives.
The answer is given to us in 2 Corinthians 12.
- Pre-trib: Escape of Luke’s group, before the beginning of the 7-year Seals period of the Tribulation
- Mid-trib: Rapture of Mark’s group, after the Seals judgments, in the 7th year; thereafter, the beginning of the 6-year Trumpets period of the Tribulation
- Post-trib: Matthew’s group with no one being taken but the return of the Lord feet down on the Mount of Olives, after the 6 years of Trumpets judgments, known as Jacob's Trouble
And 13 total years are complete! He will fulfill the 14th year in the judgment of all who came against Jerusalem and the Millennial Reign thereafter.
The last year, the 14th year of the tribulation, is then also the 21st year (John's 21st chapter, counting the first 7 "easy" years of the Luke/Leah group as well) that refers to the Millennial Reign. The last year, the 21st, represents the 1000-year reign. And we all know how much He loves 777.
2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

The 7 End Time Churches
Ecclesiastes 1:9
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Doing a search/review on the “Church Ages” and how they all played out, it all begins to click and make sense in their end-time timeframes. What is interesting is that it shows the church historians' beliefs that can be seen in the 7 churches during the church age that is playing out. Through the understanding of the types and shadows revealed in scripture, what played out over the 2000 years of church history is indeed correct and confirms our understanding. What played out in history will once again be starting with the first church mentioned in the Book of Revelations, the Church of Ephesus, right through to the Church of Laodicea.
|
You may have heard pastors talk about this in the past. They would say we are in the Laodicea church age now, the last one, and this is why there has been so much falling away that has taken place over the past few decades. And they were right in what they were saying.
If you go to the chart below in the column named, “Israel’s History Typified”, you will see that these are the events in Israel's history before Christ that had their significance in the “was” that ties into the “is” of current church history after Christ. What church historians and theologians discovered is that there was an association between the two over similar periods of time on both sides of Christ. In the table below, we find the type and shadow of each church's representation in the time period they are found in history up until now. They serve as a type and shadow of what is to come during the Tribulation. In other words, during the Tribulation there will be a church representing each one of the churches in their respective time period. This does not mean that a church is not applicable when another begins, but rather they flow into each other. They represent a time period within the Tribulation. |
There is a "is" which is present, a "was", which is past and a "is to come" which is future. The 7 churches are all still here in one way or another in the “is”, yet as of this writing we are considered to be in the last one, Laodicea just before the Tribulation starts. So it does not mean that they are no longer around, but they also represent the "is to come". Therefore, the first church that will be at the very start of the Tribulation will be the Church of Ephesus, starting the whole process over right to Laodicea again before He returns on the Mount of Olives.
Church History as a Type And Shadow

The Church of Ephesus

Revelation 2:1-2, 7
1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; 2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. |
We can see Ephesus has a relation to Apostles and is the clue to the timing of the first end-time church period. In the end, this first period is going to be a period many call the coming greatest apostolic revival in all human history. It is going to begin after the Son of Man has left and the Holy Spirit will have come, which we can refer to as “Acts 2.0”. This IS that period represented here as the Apostolic church. It is this group chosen by the Lord while here, to bring this revival about. And when the Lord comes on Mount Zion at the end of the 6th Seal, this group will go where the rapture group will be taken, which is paradise. The fact that they will be here on earth until the end of Seals shows us that their work will not simply end after this church age ends but will continue to the rapture to Paradise. As in history with the Exodus, this represents the Escape having happened right as this time is about to begin.
A further note is that during this time there was a black stone or meteorite that hit Ephesus. Here you see the type and shadow of John 8 where Yashua is on His knees before the woman caught in adultery, stone in hand. This period is called the day of Israel's espousal. In Luke 21:34 just before He told his disciples to watch and pray that they may "ESCAPE ALL" these things that will come upon the earth, it says that He was a "stone's throw" away from them. All this points to the beginning of sorrows as stoning is related to judgment.

In this devotional teaching, I speak about what it will take for us to endure in the time to come. Here it is about the zeal for the King. I speak of what the enemy uses to allure us away from Him and to ultimately take our eyes of devotion away causing us to forsake our first love -- the very thing that the Church of Ephesus was found guilty of... forsaking their first love.

The Church of Smyrna
|
Revelation 2:8-11
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; 9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. 10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. 11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. |
|
Smyrna is loaded with information, but we are not going to go into each part. They are not told to repent. Out of all the 7 churches, only they and Philadelphia are not told to repent. This is because those in Smyrna are those that will die for their faith during the tribulation. You see the connection to church history as persecution having begun, and in Israel’s history we see this is the time of the wanderings. This persecution is what we would call the early stages of persecution, however, the persecution coming against them will not stop. It will only get worse as we understand where we are in the tribulation. The Church of Smyrna starts after the time period of the Church of Ephesus, which is in the first 2.5 years of Seals and there will be persecution unto death after the greatest revival. We can also understand that these are those who as persecution becomes worse, are found under the altar in Revelation 6:9 at the 5th seal. We see at the 5th seal that they appear to have been there for a little while as they are crying out for God to avenge them. This group in Smyrna is then told they would not be hurt by the second death. What does that mean? The answer is found in Revelation 20:4-6.
Revelation 20:4-6
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast,
neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first
resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast,

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
The ones from under the altar who died, or you could say who put their necks on the line, for their faith in Christ are going to be resurrected at His return feet down, and the second death will not hurt them after their 1000 years with the Lord. Wow! What an honor this group will be given! They are the "Priscillas and Aquilas" of the Church of Smyrna. Polycarp, a disciple of John, was the bishop of the Church of Smyrna. You can read more about Polycarp via the button link below.

12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. |
This scripture tells us where satan’s seat is and dwells, as the type of antichrist in his place. Then there is a doctrine of Balaam or a false belief being taught, which of course will be of the antichrist as the savior. If we go to church history we see it was the time of Constantine coming to power, as he was a type of antichrist as well.
When we look at Israel’s history, we see this equals the time of the “wilderness”. Well how fitting is that! This IS the period at which the antichrist will be given his power to continue 42 months. This is the exact same period of time found in Mark 13’s discourse where this “abomination of desolation” would begin at the time of his being given the power to continue 42 months, as well as the time of the mark of the beast coming. Christians will be hunted and also the reason why they will now at this point no longer try to understand but will now be fleeing into the wilderness as Mark 13 told us at this time. When we look at the last verse for this church, we see the Lord told them He would give them of the “hidden manna”, and it just so happens this is the group represented in its time as being the ones hiding in the wilderness. They will need to rely on the Lord’s provision of manna whilst there.

The Church of Thyatira
|
Revelation 2:18, 22, 25-28 18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. 26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. 28 And I will give him the morning star. |
|
Going back to the chart, we see that church history tells us the time of Thyatira was the Dark Ages, and what do you think will relate to this time in the second half of Seals? This will be the period during which the antichrist is ruling. Looking at Israel’s history, it tells us that it is still a time of being in the wilderness -- exactly what this period will still be until the end of the 6th seal. Can you see why He now says those who do not repent at this point will be going into the “great tribulation”, which would mean the Trumpets judgments that will follow? Then we read “till I come” and “unto the end”. That is because this will bring it to the end of the Seals judgment, which means the end of the 6th seal/year when He comes. We are also given the words “with a rod of iron” and “the morning star”. Where do we read about this rod of iron?
|
Revelation 12:5 5 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. |
And what time have we understood this to represent? This is the end of the 6th seal as the Lord, the Morning Star, will have come on Mount Zion and will rule with the rod of iron, which is followed by the rapture (the Mark/Left Behind group) as those “caught up” in the 7th year of the 14 years. It all becomes so incredibly clear. It is because it is the end of the Seals judgment, after the 6th seal/years of the 14-year Tribulation.

The Church of Sardis
Revelation 3:1, 3-5
1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Here we see that church history tells us Sardis is related to the time of the Reformation, which was the period in which the Bible began to be translated into English. Of course, English was the main language people understood instead of what Rome was using, which was Latin, which fewer and fewer understood and simply had to accept what was being said. This is also when the Bible started to come into the hands of the people and not just the clergy. Greater truths from the scriptures began to come to light.
According to the message given to this church, we see that those who were watching would be ready when He would come suddenly as that thief in the night, but those not watching would not be. Remember this is coming to the end of Mark’s group time. The two very last verses in Mark’s discourse tell us:
Mark 13:36-37
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. |
It was also when Martin Luther in 1517 wrote his 95 Theses, denouncing much of what the Catholic Church had been doing and then posted the Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, marking the start of the Protestant Reformation. Do you realize how this period of church history proves out in the “is to come” to be so very important? It is so important to the point that in the description of this church is what brings us to the end of the true Church Age, which equals the year of the rapture in the 7th year of Seals! Consider what it is telling us in Israel’s history. It is saying that it is the period of Israel’s King(s). Do you get it? The Lord is here on Mount Zion and will be Israel’s King. This is what we see in Daniel 7.
Daniel 7:13-14
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. |
We also read about this church that they will be those who will walk with Him in white. This is exactly what we read will happen as we read in the scriptures regarding the first half of the 7th year of Seals when this will happen.
|
Revelation 7:9-10 9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. |

The Church of Philadelphia
|
Revelation 3:7, 9-10, 12
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep(G5083) thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. |
Many have thought this church was to the Gentile Bride of Christ. One of the reasons for that was that He said He would “keep” them from the hour of temptation, but that word does not mean He would remove them from it.
The word "keep" (G5083) means: "(a watch; perhaps akin to G2334); to guard (from loss or injury, properly by keeping the eye upon". He will be watching over them protecting them from loss and NOT be taking them out of it. Also, clearly in the writing of the name of GOD on them, we can most certainly understand this as being those 144,000 who were sealed having the Father’s name written in their foreheads, as we also read in Revelation 14:1.
If we follow the flow, we see that the Seals and the first 7 years have now come to an end. This brings us to the beginning of Trumpets and the Lord on Mount Zion as Israel’s King, sending out the 144,000 who are going to be the “evangelists” during the first half of Trumpets. These are those whom Yashua, as the Great High Priest after the order of Melchizedek, prays for as His witnesses in John 17, our "chapters to years" book. "Melchizedek" means "King of Righteousness".
This is the period that followed in church history as the great missionary movement. They are the ones spoken about in Luke 10 who Yashua sent out, and when they returned to Him they were so excited by what they had been able to do in His name. Before He left them, if you recall, He said that He beheld satan fall like lightning and gave them greater power to tread serpents and scorpions, etc. This represents the middle of Trumpets when satan is cast to the earth. At the end of this period when Messiah is going to be cut off, the city, walls, and temple will have been rebuilt. It will also be the time when Messiah will break the covenant in one day, which He had made with all people, because satan is cast down. When we look at Israel’s history for this church period, we see it is referred to as Israel’s Removal. I call this crystal clear revelation. And this brings us to the final of the 7 churches of the end times.

The Church of laodicea
|
Revelation 3:14-16,20-21
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. |
It says that this church period represents the “apostasy church”. Let us have a look at what the scriptures tell us about the time of apostasy.
|
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away(G646) first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. |
Falling away (G646) - defection from truth (properly the state), (“apostasy”): - falling away, forsake. |
The meaning of “falling away” means “apostasy”. Look at “who” this time is connected to. It will be the time when the son of perdition is revealed and when He will sit “in the temple”, which means it was rebuilt. During the Seals period we read of the "abomination of desolation" STANDING where it ought not. This speaks of the mark of the beast, whereas SITTING in the temple, speaks of satan actually being here during Trumpets, exactly when he will declare himself to be God. We know when the temple was finished, so that timing is correct. But how about the “son of perdition”?
Revelation 17:8
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
|
Once again, this proves this same period of time is the middle of Trumpets when satan has been cast down and the pit is opened. This is when the time of the Apostasy or great "falling away" takes place. During this “apostasy” satan will be sitting in the temple claiming to be God. During the Seals period of the first 7 years of the Tribulation, the anti-Christ is the abomination of desolation, STANDING where he ought not. This is a reference to the Mark of the Beast. However, during the last 7 years of the Tribulation, Trumpets, satan will literally be SITTING in the rebuilt temple and declare himself God. Concerning Israel’s history, it tells us it was the period of Judah’s King(s) and during the Trumpets period of the Tribulation it represents Judah's "king(s)" of which one is satan, the abomination of desolation.
And the devil, the father of lies, is the exact one here during this period. Looking at the wording of the message to this church, we read that God is standing at the door about to come. The reason is that once this portion of satan’s reign ends after 2.5 years, it will be the end of the Tribulation. The Lord will return feet down on the Mount of Olives, having been at the door ready to return. |
And finally, He says to this church, to those who overcome this period, “will I grant to sit with Me in My throne”. This will bring us to the end of the 6th Trumpet or 6 years of Trumpets, which was the Matthew group’s portion. It would be interesting to read about this in Matthew, so let’s have a look.
|
Matthew 19:28-29
28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration(G3824) when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. |
Regeneration (G3824) - rebirth (the state or the act), that is, (figuratively) spiritual renovation; specifically Messianic restoration: This means that when the Lord will have returned, it will be in a type of “rebirth” in the Messianic restoration of all things! They will be sitting on thrones given to them with the Lord Himself. |
Once the final year of Trumpets ends, it will be the final year when all the tribes will return each to receive their lands in what will be called, The Final Jubilee - the 22nd/15th year! And for those wondering, these final 7,7,7 years were the last three in the final Jubilee count of 7 x 7 or 49 years and 50th Jubilee -- the end of the 2,000 years since the Lord's death and resurrection!

This video was a clincher for me personally with regard to the 14-years understanding. Once I grasped the fact that the Tribulation will indeed be 14 years long and that the 3 Synoptic Gospels were speaking to 3 different groups, the rest all fell into place.

This video will give you more in-depth understanding of God's Harvest Model. I have purposely added it here at the last and not where it is discussed on this page, so as to not to confuse you with information not yet discussed.
