June 4th Rapture (2008)

June 4th Rapture (2008)
Please Reference: Rapture: Empty Hourglass

To clarify what I am doing is watching and not saying I understand it all right away – like Paul I “see through a glass darkly” and it’s like bringing binoculars into focus. At my website I describe how in the military I was taught to watch and Jesus uses this same analogy when he describes His command for us to “watch” as we are followers of our True King - Jesus.

First of all I need to reference my prior writing called: “Rapture: Hourglass Empty” Please read it. It is at both my website (www.tony4yhwh.com) and posted at www.fivedoves.com under the letters: (http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/may2008/tonye530-1.htm )

Given (above reference): 14,400 days (360 biblical years X 40)
December 23rd 1968, The Apollo 8 reading of Genesis
+ 14,400 days
= May 28, 2008

Now…

It is understood that Joshua and his taking the Promised Land is also Prophetic by nature (all scripture is at least 3 fold: Historical, Moral & Prophetic).

We already see the earthly Joshua and Heavenly direct in the scripture:

Joshua 5

13 Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us or for our adversaries?” 14 He said, “No; rather I indeed come now as Captain of the Host of the Lord.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, “What has my lord to say to his servant?” 15 The captain of the Lord’s host said to Joshua, “Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

This is Joshua (which in Hebrew is Jesus) the earthly captain meeting Jesus the Heavenly Captain.

Jericho means “moon”. Joshua conquers the earthly moon and 1st city in the Promised Land. Jesus will conquer the heavenly moon (the one you see just about every night!) as a type of 1st city leading to a Heavenly promised land. Remember as it has been said that Abraham’s children will be like the sand on the sea shore and the stars in the sky. Joshua and Jericho is as to the sand as Jesus and the moon are to the space frontier (galaxy or universe).

Joshua was instructed to march 6 days around Jericho (read Joshua 6)

Verse 14 says “thus the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp; they did so for six days.

Verse 15 – 16 says “Then on the seventh day they rose early at the dawning of the day and marched around the city in the same manner seven times; only on that day they marched around the city seven times.” 16 At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people “Shout” for the Lord has given you the city.

As you can see this is the “last trumpet” and also the “Shout”.

The walls come down (barrier)

Let me get to the date and then I will continue on in more detail. Here again is the figuring from the last document:

Given (above reference): 14,400 days (360 biblical years X 40)
December 23rd 1968, The Apollo 8 reading of Genesis
+ 14,400 days
= May 28, 2008

+ 7 days and the last trumpet and shout
= June 4th 2008

As Steve Berryman has been mentioning this falls on the correct creation day Wednesday the 4th day of the week (middle candle on the Menorah, the Servant candle).

This day is the first day of Sivan and New Moon, perfectly dark for the thief in the night which is Jesus. Also a Trumpet is blown on the New Moon (you can research Rosh Chodesh for yourself for more information).

Also Sivan 1 is significant to Noah as the day the flood waters subsided upon the earth. This took 150 days and if you move back 150 days this year you come to a very important day that I’ve already written about which is the 12th day of Christmas, 3 wise man day and Epiphany day. I have a Blog post on December 28th of 2007 that you can read regarding this day (www.tony4yhwh.com ) and there is lots information on this day you can research as well.

All of this brings us to June 4, 2008 as a day to focus your “binoculars” in on during your Rapture watch.

Here is some more scriptural validation lending insight:

Matthew 20 is the chapter where Jesus is in Jericho. In chapter 20 is the parable about the workers in the vineyard when workers are called at the 11th hour and he says the last shall be first and the first last. Also verse 17 reads “As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem…” then the “discussion” over which disciple will sit at Jesus’ right hand. Then when they are leaving Jericho a group asks for sight which are blind. Following this is Matthew 21 which is the Triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

In the story of the Good Samaritan Jesus said a “man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho”. This is a reference to the New Jerusalem and Jericho.


In Hebrews 11 in the faith “hall of fame” after talking about the search for a “True and Better” Country, references are made to the walls of Jericho falling down and Rahab.

Rahab in the story of Joshua is a prostitute that is saved by her faith. She hides the two spies (boy did Joshua learn that instead of sending in 12 spies of which 2 bring back a good report and 10 bring back a bad report that more is not better – just send in the 2 good ones!) and is told to hang out the red cord that she will be saved.

This passage in Isaiah is prophetic to this coming event (my comments in blue):

Isaiah 51
1"(A)Listen to me, you who (B)pursue righteousness,
Who seek the LORD:
Look to the (C)rock from which you were hewn (rock, moon, garden of Eden)
And to the quarry from which you were dug.
2"Look to (D)Abraham your father (Abraham’s bosom, Paradise)
And to Sarah who gave birth to you in pain;
When he (E)was but one I called him,
Then I blessed him and multiplied him." (stars in the sky)
3Indeed, (F)the LORD will comfort Zion;
He will comfort all her (G)waste places
And her (H)wilderness He will make like (I)Eden,
And her desert like the (J)garden of the LORD;
(K)Joy and gladness will be found in her,
Thanksgiving and sound of a melody.
4"(L)Pay attention to Me, O My people,
And give ear to Me, O My nation;
For a (M)law will go forth from Me,
And I will set My (N)justice for a (O)light of the peoples. (moon reflects suns light)
5"My (P)righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth,
And My (Q)arms will judge the peoples;
The (R)coastlands will wait for Me, (moon/Eden/New Jerusalem returns)
And for My (S)arm they will wait expectantly.
6"(T)Lift up your eyes to the sky, (where the moon is now)
Then look to the earth beneath; (where it will soon return)
For the (U)sky will vanish like smoke, (the distance or wall will be gone)
And the (V)earth will wear out like a garment
And its inhabitants will die in like manner;
But My (W)salvation will be forever,
And My righteousness will not wane.
7"(X)Listen to Me, you who know righteousness,
A people in whose (Y)heart is My law;
Do not fear the (Z)reproach of man,
Nor be dismayed at their revilings.
8"For the (AA)moth will eat them like a garment,
And the (AB)grub will eat them like wool
But My (AC)righteousness will be forever,
And My salvation to all generations."
9(AD)Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD;
Awake as in the (AE)days of old, the generations of long ago
(AF)Was it not You who cut Rahab in pieces, (Rahab the prostitute dwelled in earthly Jericho, but it may be Rahab a demonic force who rules/guards the moon when it is overthrown)
Who pierced the (AG)dragon?
10Was it not You who (AH)dried up the sea,
The waters of the great deep;
Who made the depths of the sea a pathway
For the (AI)redeemed to cross over? (redeemed cross over – Rapture reference)
11So the (AJ)ransomed of the LORD will return (returning!!!)
And come with joyful shouting to Zion,
And (AK)everlasting joy will be on their heads
They will obtain gladness and joy,
And (AL)sorrow and sighing will flee away.
12"I, even I, am He who (AM)comforts you
Who are you that you are afraid of (AN)man who dies
And of the son of man who is made (AO)like grass,
13That you have (AP)forgotten the LORD your Maker,
Who (AQ)stretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth,
That you (AR)fear continually all day long because of the fury of the oppressor,
As he makes ready to destroy?
But where is the fury of the (AS)oppressor?
14"The (AT)exile will soon be set free, and will not die in the dungeon, (AU)nor will his bread be lacking. (a promise that we will not always be here forever)
15"For I am the LORD your God, who (AV)stirs up the sea and its waves roar (the LORD of hosts is His name).
16"I have (AW)put My words in your mouth and have (AX)covered you with the shadow of My hand, to (AY)establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, 'You are My people.'"
17(AZ)Rouse yourself! Rouse yourself! Arise, O Jerusalem,
You who have (BA)drunk from the LORD'S hand the cup of His anger;
The chalice of reeling you have drained to the dregs.
18There is (BB)none to guide her among all the sons she has borne,
Nor is there one to take her by the hand among all the sons she has reared.
19These two things have befallen you;
Who will mourn for you?
The (BC)devastation and destruction, famine and sword;
How shall I comfort you?
20Your sons have fainted,
They (BD)lie helpless at the head of every street,
Like an (BE)antelope in a net,
Full of the wrath of the LORD,
The (BF)rebuke of your God.
21Therefore, please hear this, you (BG)afflicted,
Who are (BH)drunk, but not with wine:
22Thus says your Lord, the LORD, even your God
Who (BI)contends for His people,
"Behold, I have taken out of your hand the (BJ)cup of reeling,
The chalice of My anger;
You will never drink it again.
23"I will (BK)put it into the hand of your tormentors,
Who have said to you, '(BL)Lie down that we may walk over you.'
You have even made your back like the ground
And like the street for those who walk over it."
Next I’d like to show you some notes on what I’ve found relative to dates and recent prophetic events.

1987 1988 1989 2007 2008 2009
2 years 1967 physical 20 21 22 40 41 42

18 = man (6 X 3)
19 = judgment (good or bad, for or against)
20 = ordinal completion (10 X 2, Jacob & Laban)

1967 – Physical Jerusalem

June 1967 was the Recapture of Jerusalem. The city of Jericho was recaptured during the 6 day war in 1967. It was one of the 1st cities handed over to the Palestinian Authority in the Oslo Accords in 1994.

As has been written by Steve Berryman as per the “law of stripes” one will not receive the 41st stripe. Also in the lashes one can receive the proper 40 or as Paul received 40 minus one which of course is 39. Utilizing the law of stripes you can see that each of these number falls under 2008.

1968 – Heavenly Jerusalem

I’ve already explained in my writing of “Rapture: Hourglass Empty” and prior here. But the December 24th 1968 and the Apollo 8 mission where Genesis was read was the prophetic archetype and beginning of the countdown. A commemorative stamp was made for this even on May 5th 1969 (which I show on my prior document). May 5th 2000 was the planet alignment.

1968 Shavout (Jewish) and Pentecost Christian both were on June 2nd

1969 – The Rebellion

Again please reference my prior writing for detail, but this was the Apollo 11 mission. A man on this mission took communion, but kept it secret because of the Atheist lawsuit after the Apollo 8 mission. Quite a contrast as the Genesis reading “God Created…” was broadcast to the largest audience ever at the time. The headline for this was man putting his foot on the moon. The middle of the Bible in Psalms 118:8 reads “…better to put your trust in God than man…”

Epilogue:

The central event that took place regarding the Moon that was “faithful” was the Genesis reading on Christmas Eve 1968. My favorite Christmas movie is “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Do you remember George Bailey and his discussion with Mary?
What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You-you want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey, that's a pretty good idea. I'll give you the moon...Well, then you could swallow it. And it'll all dissolve, see. And the moon beams that shoot out of your fingers and your toes and the ends of your hair...Am I talking too much?
When a couple gets married you go on a honeymoon. Then there is the “man” in the moon and there are the Zodiac “lunar mansions”. All of these “concepts” come from somewhere. I hope some of this information has been helpful – Maranatha!

Rosh Hashanah 2007 was September 13th.

SELENE (Ancient Greek: Σελήνη, moon), better known in Japan by its nickname Kaguya (かぐや?), is the second Japanese lunar orbiter spacecraft.[1] Produced by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science and NASDA (both organizations that are now part of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or JAXA), the spacecraft was launched September 14, 2007.
The name stands for Selenological and Engineering Explorer; Selene was a lunar deity in Greek mythology. The orbiter's nickname, Kaguya, which was selected by the general public, derives from the name of a lunar princess in the ancient Japanese folktale The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.[2] After the successful release of its sub-satellites Rstar and Vstar, they were named Okina and Ouna, also from folklore.[3]
SELENE comes as part of a renewed interest in lunar exploration, being "the largest lunar mission since the Apollo program",[4] and following up on Japan's first lunar probe, Hagoromo, launched in 1990.[1][5] China has launched the Chang'e 1 lunar explorer on October 24, 2007, with India's Chandrayaan and the United States Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter following in 2008. The United States, European countries, Russia, Japan and China are planning future manned lunar exploration missions or base construction on the moon for the year 2018 or later.[citation needed]
