Revelations 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
Please understand that when I write these blogs and make statements, I only seek to share what I spiritually discern. I classify myself as a student of Scripture and view only Our Heavenly Father as the Expert. Over the years I have found Scriptures, numbers, meanings to be multi-faceted and have more than one application. To build a doctrine on one facet of Scripture is sure to be challenged down the road thus I am reluctant to be emphatic about any position. There are many timelines superimposed on other timelines, so to only consider one timeline is to possibly miss the implications of another. The Second Passover is superimposed over the First Passover as an example: two timelines with equivalent ramifications.
The above Scripture provides a subtle time frame for preparation. There are 360 days in the prophetic year and 24 hours in the prophetic day. Half an hour (1/48th of a day) is equivalent to 7 1/2 days or years (360/48). 7 1/2 years is the time of preparation.
Now, consider this little bit of history:
2 Samuel 5:4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. 5 In Hebron(Unity) he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
In 1997 during a personal study, Our Heavenly Father revealed to me the prophetic nature of the address of our house. HE chose this house for us to live in, not me. I was focused on moving to Edmond, a suburb on the north side of Oklahoma City and had persistently looked at houses for two years. HE directed me to Bethany (on the west side of the city) to look at this house. When I stepped into the house, HE said “This is the house”. We took possession of the house on the 1st day of Tabernacles in 1992. Back then I did not know anything about the Feast Days or their timing. The street name depicted the two covenants of Joshua: Gilgal (rolling) and Shechem (ridge). Also, HE indicated that the house number was prophetic: 2005. I knew HE meant the year 2005, a long eight years away.
At the first of December of 2005, HE told me to focus on getting the revelation of Love. That is exactly what I did. Shortly, HE told me to set up Servias Ministries and on 2/22 of 2006 I created the founding document to give to the Law firm. Believe me, I wasn’t interested in managing another entity but I was obedient to HIS command. We were approved in record time. (Wisdom is mentioned 222 times in Scripture)
Two books on Love resulted from this directive. In the meantime, the economy has begun to show distress. In late 2011, HE directed me to buy a new server for the Web which I did not need. The preparation continues.
Seven years and six months after Our Heavenly Father told me to focus on the revelation of Love, HE calls for a Census. This is known as the Second Census, similar to the one in preparation for entering the Promised Land. Simultaneous to this seven years and six months, Mystery Babylon is beginning to crumble. The inhabitants of the land know that change is coming.
The Census is a preparation for war. In this case, Spiritual War. There have been several of the brethren engage in Spiritual Warfare but it now appears that the stakes have increased. The Remnant is being prepared for battle.
The Census is not for those who are fearful or unprepared. It is for those who know that they have been prepared for a day such as this. They know and embrace the fact that the Kingdom is at hand and that they are called to participate in bringing the Heavenly Kingdom to earth. The members of the Remnant are those who could no longer sit silent in the pew at the back of the church, biding their time. They knew they must go “outside the camp” to commune directly with Our Heavenly Father.
I did not plan this 7 1/2 years of preparation. I simply responded to HIS Commands. Coincidental to this time of Census, truth is coming forth revealing the lies and deception of Mystery Babylon. “Snow”den has come forth to provide revelation and truth to expose the lies:
Job 38:22 “Have you entered the treasury of snow, Or have you seen the treasury of hail, 23 Which I have reserved for the time of trouble, For the day of battle and war?
One of the Treasurer’s jobs includes the accounting for “snow” and “hail”, revelation and truth.
After the silence in Heaven, or the time of preparation, the trumpets begin to be sounded. Trumpets are a warning for war (Number 10:9).
Rev 8:7 The first angel sounded: And hail (truth) and fire (cleansing) followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees (Men) were burned up, and all green grass (fleshly people) was burned up.
It would appear that the “flesh” will be dealt with shortly. There are those who will cling to the “flesh” and those who will embrace the change. There are those who will defend their past doctrines which will crumble before their very eyes while the trumpet is sounding. The Remnant shall cling to the Truth as great hailstones pummel the current system. Great change is on the horizon. Our job is to hear, respond, and act, and say “Amen” to Our Heavenly Father’s Commands.
There are seven trumpets to be sounded. The treasury contains revelation and truth, both necessary to win the coming war. The final trumpet will usher in the Kingdom:
Seventh Trumpet: The Kingdom Proclaimed
Rev 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” 16 And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God,17 saying:
“We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
The One who is and who was and who is to come,
Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.
18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come,
And the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,
And those who fear Your name, small and great,
And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”
19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.
Yes, it was an early morning! The first 51 days of the Census is behind us. 51=Divine Revelation, Peace (see:http://www.gods-kingdom-ministries.net/teachings/books/secrets-of-time/appendix-e-the-biblical-meanings-of-numbers/)
