Question 4
Hi Jock- Greetings in the name of Christ. I was looking at your website and I have a few questions. It looks like you are saying that the 1/2-hour of silence is the period 1994 to 1996 - Can you explain this in a little more detail because this implies that the last 1/2-hour to complete the tribulation period goes from 1996 to 2012. But what about the period of 1987/88 to 1994- This is part of the great tribulation and it is definitely identified as part of the one-hour or one day in Revelation. Also I have a problem with the 5th angel that looses Satan Rev 9:1, how can that happen after the 1/2 hour of silence (the opening of the 7th seal Rev8: 1) which is identified with Satan's attack on the congregations.
Can you help?
In Christ
George
Answer 4
Hi George and thanks for the questions.
First, the Bible distinguishes between the term Final Tribulation and Great Tribulation:
The Final Tribulation and Final Great Tribulation Explained:
The combination of words “Great Tribulation” or “Great Affliction” is only used 4 times in the Bible. Note: The same Greek word “thlipsis” translated "tribulation" in Matthew 24:21, Revelation 2:22 is translated as "affliction" in Acts 7:11. The Great Affliction is also referenced in the Old Testament in Nehemiah 1:3.
2347. thlipsis, thlip´-sis; from 2346; pressure (literally or figuratively):—afflicted(-tion), anguish, burdened, persecution, tribulation, trouble.
Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Revelation 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Nehemiah 1:3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
Acts 7:11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
The 2 periods which typified the Final Tribulation:
1. Josiah death in 609 BC to the Destruction of Babylon in 539 BC (Final Harvest completed outside of Judah by the true believers) 70 years, Jeremiah 25:11-12.
Jeremiah 25:11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Jeremiah 25:12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.
2. Last 26 years of Jacob’s Life 1886 (1886 –1879 last 7 productive years in Chanaan) to 1860 (Jacob goes to heaven, Final Harvest completed outside of Chanaan):
Note that end harvest (typified Spiritual Completion of Pentecost harvest) in each physical abode of the true believer came after the start of the 2 periods that typified the start of Final Tribulation but not Great Tribulation. The Final Tribulation is a period that the true believers experience before the start of Great Tribulation:
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God
The completion of harvest summer to Feast of Ingathering occurred outside the normal physical abodes of the true believers during Great Tribulation:
Great Tribulation occurs when no substance from land is received for the true believer in their normal physical abode: Chanaan (drought during Jacob’s day stated in 1879 BC, see Acts 7:11) Judah at the beginning (besiegement of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 588 BC) would effectively prevent any additional substance from coming from the land/587 walls of Jerusaleum (Temple) burned down, Nehemiah 1:3.
2Kings 25:1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
In addition, the length of Great Tribulation startng in he year 1993/1994 is consistent with the 19 or 18 years of Great tribulation in Jacob's Days. Jacob was 128* in the 1st year of the dearth 1879-1878 BC (1993+19 = 2012 or 1994 A D+ 18 = 2012 (1993/1994** + 18 or 19 years = 2012AD). Jacob 's Great Tribulation ended in 1960 BC (1879-1878 BC + 19 or 18 year = 1860 BC).
*There are 128 days or 18 weeks from Pentecost to the Feast of Ingathering.There are 18 years from 1994 to the year 2012 AD.
**13,005th year of the Earth's existence - The factors of 13,005th year (1993-1994) are: 153, 17, and 5.
153 Fish Seal (Pentecost Harvest) in 1987/ 88 None Lost Pentecost Harvest Redemption Actual Completed in 1994:
John 21:11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
Rain Season or absense of rain - as the precursor to harvest - 1st 6 months of a harvest year starts in 1993
Harvest Season - the 2nd 6 months of a harvest year ends in 1994
There is a spiritual correlation from 1879 BC to 1993/994AD:
1879 (dreath*)----3872 years----*1993/1994
88 (3 months) X 11(last hour) x4 (complete end)*
Tammuz 14 days + Av 30 days + Elul 29 days + Tishri 15 days = Total 88 days
3 months is identified with God's decision to or not to rain on a city:
Amos 4:7 And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
In our time, 1994 AD (Absence of Latter from 1987-1994) in the physical organized churches, results in no summer harvest in 1994:
Great affliction or Great tribulation can be simultaneous with the abomination of desolation after the (temple destroyed and Satan in complete control of the physical temple or normal physical dwelling place of the true believers):
1994 is akin to the Great Tribulation (since the summer harvest fails) because no latter rain was received in the physical organized churches from 1987- 1994:
1994 is akin to the abomination of desolation: 1877 BC to 587 BC (1290 years) and 587 BC to 1994 AD (1290 years x 2):
Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
The loosening of Satan, however, during the whole hour (24 years) beginning in 1988 in Revelation 9:15 is not an instantaneous abomination of desolation (Complete control of the physical organized churches by Satan) but is accomplished by a war fought which the saints in the physical organized churches are overcome by the year 1994 (abomination of desolation), Revelation 13:6-7.
Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Also the Pentecost harvest is completed in 1994, a harvest which is not dependent on Latter Rain which would typify the final harvest associated with the physical churches since their Summer Harvest perishes due to lack of latter rains in 1994:
Passover 33AD + 1 Day (Day as Year) = 34 AD
34 AD + 49 (Days as Years) X 40 (associated with harvest, children of Israel came into Canaan and ate the fruit of Canaan day after passover, Joshua 5:11-12 after 40 years) = 1994 AD
1 Day after Passover and 49 days is Pentecost:
Leviticus 23:15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
Leviticus 23:16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
In Summary: ------------------------------------- 
1. True believers associated with (firstfruit or Pentecost) are sealed 7 months before the start of the Final Tribulation in 1987:
2. The Final Tribulation is a period between 1988* -2012
*Complete year is Tishri (Fall) 1987 to Tishri (Fall 1988) and early rains/ no latter rains for the harvest year occur prior to the end of the harvest year in Tishri 1988. There are 8993 days from Adar 1, 1988 to Tishri 15/16 (October 1), 2012 [23 x 23(double judgment) x 17(Jacob goes to Heaven) = 8993]
3. Great Tribulation is the period 1994 to 2012 or 18 years.
Luke 13:4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
Luke 13:11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
Luke 13:16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
4. There are 18 (years as weeks, 18 weeks from Sivan 6 to Tishri 15) from Pentecost (1994) to the Feast of Ingathering (2012).
5. Year 2012 AD - Year of Babylon Destruction 539 BC + 2011 = 2,550 Years, which includes factors: [2 (Sending the Gospel) X 3 (Purpose) X 5X5 (Salvation - 25 weeks typifies the completion of a harvest season there are 25 weeks of rain and 25 weeks of harvest) X 17 (Jacob goes to Heaven)]
6. Year 2012 - Jacob's death in 1860 BC (Jewish year 1901) typified the End of the Great Final Tribulation -When we extrapolate 3,872 [4 (complete End of harvest) x 11 (final hour of Harvest) X 88 (88 days identified with last 3 months of harvest attributable solely to latter rain, see Amos 4:7) year inclusive we arrive at factors that correlate to the completion of the Final Harvest in the year 2012 AD (Jewish year 5773).
Amos 4:7 And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
7. 4989 + 2011 = 2012 AD - 7000 years from the End of Flood typified a completion of the Final Harvest of Olives attributable to Latter Rain (period of 88 days or 3 months to the Final Harvest)
Olives Trees are typified as a picture of the true believers.
Psalms 52:8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
The New Year was defined as beginning on the end of the 15th Day of the 1st Agriculture month (Tishri) Exodus 23:16:
Tammuz *1 thru Tishri 1 (88 days) or Tammuz 14 thru Tishri 15/16 (88 days):
Genesis 8:5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen
Genesis 8:6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
Genesis 8:7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
Genesis 8:8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
Genesis 8:9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
Genesis 8:10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
Genesis 8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth..
Genesis 8:12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
Genesis 8:13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry
We know clearly from the scripture, the flood typified the final season of harvest (specifically the last 3 months or 88 days), which typified a new earth at the end of that 6023rd year (final harvest) which is the same as the beginning of 6024th year), see Genesis 8:5-13, where plant life (olives) mature and are suitable for the dove to sustain life (provide fruit) outside the ark prior to the end of the flood. In addition, from nature we know the Olive tree ripens in the month of Av (July to August - Genesis 8-11) providing further proof thatat the 1st month could only coincide with the Fall Harvest.
Half an Hour Silence explained:
Revelation 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour [hemiorion]
Strong's Concordance Greek word "hemiorion"
2256. hemiorion, hay-mee-o´-ree-on; from the base of 2255 (hemisu) and 5610 (hora); a half-hour:—half an hour.
Greek Strong's Concordance Greek word "hemisu"
2255 hemisu, hay´-mee-soo; neuter of a derivative from an inseparable prefix akin to 260 (through the idea of partition involved in connection) and meaning semi-; (as noun) half:—half.
Strong's Concordance Greek word "hora"
5610. hora, ho´-rah; apparently a primary word; an “hour” (literally or figuratively):—day, hour, instant, season, x short, (even-)tide, (high) time.
Louw & Nida Concordance Greek word "hora"
67.199 hora, ho´-rah; the twelfth part of a day, measured from sunrise to sunset (in any one day the hours would be of equal length, but would vary somewhat depending on the time of the year) — ‘hour.’ yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him’ Jn 4:52. Since the hours were counted beginning at sunrise, the seventh hour would be approximately one o’clock in the afternoon. For other references to numbered hours, see 60.50, 60.56, 60.57, and 60.58.
24 hour day (5610. hora) DIVIDED or Partition (2255 hemisu) by a 12 hour day (67.199 hora) = 2 (Two) 12 hour days (67.199 hora)
CONCLUSION: Silence in heaven about the space of half an hour could spiritually typify 2-12 HOUR DAYS (SUNRISE TO SUNSET) WHEN DIVIDED (partition) INTO 24 HOUR DAY (which consists of a 12 hour day and a 12 hour night)
Job 17:12 They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
2 DAYS CAN SPIRITUALLY TYPIFY TWO YEARS:
Numbers 14:34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
Ezekiel 4:6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
The rain and their associated harvest are integrally associated with harvest time. The rain is God’s saving Gospel from heaven.
James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
God uses his saving Gospel Rain and the work of the true believer typified as laborers in the field to produce fruit (more true believers):
Rejoicing (Joy) in heaven (not silence) is associated with this process of rain received and laborers working in God’s field to effectuate God Salvation Program:
Luke 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Idle laborers would equate to no work being done in the field own by God (or silence in heaven):
Proverbs 10:5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
Matthew 20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
Matthew 20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Matthew 20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
Matthew 20:4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
Matthew 20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
Matthew 20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
Matthew 20:7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
3 year and 1/2 Delay of Latter rain harvest:
A delay in completion of the Latter Rain (Ingathering) final harvest is typified as a 3 and 1/2 year period starting with the absence of the Latter Rain [Harvest]. The Latter Rain in Adar is necessary to bring in the crops of the Latter Rain Harvest (Ingathering). (Note:Remember the completion of the final 7 years of Pentecost 1987 to 1994 did not require latter rain and no latter came during this period)
James 5:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
James 5:18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit
Coming Latter Rain Harvest Summer 1996 (4 month to Harvest) typified in Hosea 6:2 revived after 2 years, latter rain received in Adar 1997 (the third day/year, Hosea 6:2 ).
Hosea 6:1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
Hosea 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Hosea 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
The Morning Watch is a period between 1996 (initial laborers hired for the final harvest would break the silence in God’s Field, Hosea 6:2) - 2000 AD.
Adar 1994 – Adar 1995 1st year of silence, no latter rain Harvest in Tishri 1994
Adar 1995 – Adar 1996 2nd year of silence, no latter rain Harvest in Tishri 1995
Adar 1996 – Adar 1997 Revived earlier morning laborers hired in 1996 (beginning successful summer outside the physical organized churches) the 3rd year Latter Rain received in Adar 1997
Tishri 1996- Tishri 1997 – Tishri 1997 6 months from Adar month of Latter Rain
Those that hired to work in God’s field during 1996-2000 identified with the morning watch
The Final 24 Years of Harvest Year Ends is from Tishri 15, 1988 to Tishri 15 2012. The morning watch is a period of 4 hours 2 AM to 6 AM. This is parallel to the year 1996 AD to 2000 AD.
A 24 year period (1988 Adar - 2012 Tishri) is a length of time that meets the spiritual reconciliation requirements of Revelation 9:15 of equaling (The length of the Spiritual Flood):
- an hour
- a day
- a month [The Hebrew word "chodesh" is used in reference to the words "new moon" in the KJV OT The verses in 2 Kings 4:23 and Ezekiel 46:6 reference the words "new moon" in association with the word [day.]
- a year
Revelation 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
