The Book of Joel and The Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist Church - Number Forty-Two

When Leviticus twenty-three is broken into two equal lines of twenty-two verses in conjunction with the line of Christ where the spring feasts met their antitype, we can demonstrate a line that begins with the three steps of the Passover of Friday evening, unleavened bread of Sabbath and the first fruits on the first day of the week. This is one waymark, as represented by Christ’s baptism, but that one waymark has three steps.

When we begin at the resurrection and extend into the future forty days we come to a turning point, for it was then that Christ left off teaching face to face and ascended in the clouds. The one hundred and forty-four thousand also ascend in the clouds.

The second and third woe are Islam, and the seventh angel is the third woe, which is once again, Islam. The third woe arrives quickly at the earthquake. The earthquake is the Sunday law in the United States; the United States is the earth beast of Revelation thirteen, and the Sunday law is the shaking, which is a quaking. The earth beast is the premier king of the ten kings, and when the United States is overthrown at the Sunday law, a tenth part of the city will have fallen. In the same hour of the Sunday law, the two witnesses represented by Elijah and Moses, the same two witnesses who appeared transfigured with Christ unto Peter, James and John, are lifted up to heaven in a cloud, and everyone sees, for their enemies beheld them.

Forty days after the resurrection Jesus “ascended” into the clouds and the ten days in the upper room began. The ascension is a visual test, as is the second of the three angels. At His ascension the angels stated that He would return with clouds, as He just ascended with clouds.

His return at His Second Coming is in the “glory” of His kingdom.

This same “glory” is what Peter, James and John witnessed at the Mount of Transfiguration. The Mount of Transfiguration was also a second step, preceded and followed by Caesarea Philippi and Caesarea Maritima respectively. The second test is also the image of the beast test, a test which requires the prophetic recognition that the image of the beast is being formed. The second test is also Melzar inspecting Daniel and his friends to compare their countenances with those who did not eat pulse. It is a visual test. The second step in the three covenant steps of Abram’s covenant history was the “sign” of circumcision. The second step represents the sealing of God’s people as they are lifted up as an ensign. The second step is where “glory” is manifested, for the first angel’s three steps are fear, “glory” and judgment. The fortieth day of the Pentecostal season aligns with the Mount of Transfiguration. Remove your shoes, for you are on holy ground.

The ascension is a visual test, and in the line of the feasts, the ascension at the forty-day mark is preceded by five days with the feast of Trumpets. The feast of Trumpets identifies the warning of the seventh trumpet, which is the warning of Islam.

The ascension follows the trumpets by five days, and then five days after the ascension the Day of atonement marks judgment. The trumpet is the old paths, it is the Laodicean message, it is Islam and it is the foundational message of the first angel. Five days later, when the “face-to-face” instruction ends, the visual second test of the second angel is marked by the ascension. Five days after that, judgment marks the third angel.

Five days after judgment upon the house of God has finished, judgment comes on the United States as marked by the Day of Pentecost.

The “great substance” the one hundred and forty-four thousand possess at the Sunday law, where the “nation” of the United States is judged, is Isaiah’s chapter six’s substance, representing Divinity. Abraham’s covenant prophecy says “also that nation,” thus identifying that God’s people are sealed before the Sunday law. Then at the Sunday law a period represented by the seven days of the feast of Tabernacles, the latter rain is poured out without measure as judgment is accomplished on the great multitude outside of God’s house.

On July 18, 2020 the two witnesses were slain in the streets of Sodom and Egypt. The two witnesses were Moses and Elijah, and William Miller was the Elijah of his history. In his dream he closed his eyes for a moment, and on July 18, 2020 he prophetically closed his eyes in death. When he opened his eyes, the room was empty, a door and the windows were open. When Miller then saw the work the dirt brush man was accomplishing, he pleaded with him to be careful, and the dirt brush man insured him all would be well.

When Miller awoke in the wilderness, in July of 2023, the feast of unleavened bread arrived, just in advance of the resurrection on December 31, 2023. At that point—the prophetic message of the true Midnight Cry, the “cry” that every other prophetic message that had ever been unsealed typified, began to be unsealed, for the end of the three and a half days identifies a “time of the end,” and at the “time of the end” there is always a prophetic unsealing. This is always the case, for Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. His dealings with men are ever the same, for He works on the same “lines” now as He ever has. At the end of the three and a half days the Revelation of Jesus Christ was unsealed.

The resurrected body had been typified by Adam, who was first formed, and then breathed upon with the breath of life. The dead dry bones of Ezekiel 37, were also first formed by one prophecy, and thereafter brought to life by a second prophecy that brought the breath of life to the lifeless body with a message of the four winds, which is the sealing message. In both illustrations the prophecy that is unsealed is two parts, which are presented in a variety of ways. They are the internal and the external, they are the vision of the Ulai and Hiddekel rivers; they are the chazon and mareh visions; they are the two witnesses, the two golden pipes and on and on.

In Millerite history, the Midnight Cry was the prophecy that joined with the prophecy of the second angel. A two-step prophecy. When the dead dry bones were resurrected in 2023, they would of prophetic necessity need to be tested, for the unsealing of a prophecy always begins a three-step testing process. The first two tests, would be the foundational test and then the test of the temple.

Five days after the resurrection—the voice in the wilderness, represented by the period of unleavened bread ends, for Elijah, represented by Miller and John the Baptist both prepared the way for the One who shoes they were unworthy to bear. At the resurrection, Jesus begins His period of teaching “face to face” for forty days. That “face to face” teaching began on the twenty-second day for Daniel in chapter ten. It is there represented as three steps and three touches, along with a doubling of being strong.

Five days before the forty days conclude, the warning of the trumpet of Islam is sounded. The warning of Islam was represented by the ass which Christ rode in His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Before He descended the slopes of the Mount of Olives into Jerusalem, He first commanded His disciples to go and loose the ass.

At 9/11 He commanded His angels to loosen the ass and then George Bush the lesser restrained the ass. Cyrus typifies the first angel, for he proclaimed the first decree. He therefore represents both August 11, 1840 and 9/11, and at 9/11 Islam, as represented by the “angering of the nations,” was released and then held in check. At that time the latter rain began to fall. Cyrus represents both waymarks of Islam on August 11, 1840 and 9/11.

Cyrus, August 11, 1840 when the Ottoman supremacy ceased, as the pioneers expressed it, Islam of the second woe was held in check. The restraint marked the conclusion of the time prophecy of three hundred and ninety-one years and fifteen days, which began when the four angels, representing four Islamic sultans were loosed by the sixth angel, who represented the second woe of Islam’s three woes. On 9/11 Islam struck and then was restrained, as represented by the restraining in the history of Cyrus and of 1840. All three of those witnesses identify restraint or loosing of Islam, and at the beginning of Christ’s triumphal entry, the ass was loosed.

The loosing of the ass in advance of His triumphal entry identifies the trumpet message that arrives five days before the ascension. The message of Islam being again released, as it was at 9/11, and as it will again be released fifteen days later at the Sunday law, which is Pentecost, is the message that marks the beginning of the Midnight Cry. The ass being released marks the beginning or alpha of the proclamation of the message of the Midnight Cry and at the Sunday law, where the Midnight Cry changes to the loud cry, Islam strikes the earth beast again.

The period of the Midnight Cry begins with an alpha strike from Islam and it ends with a omega strike from Islam. Islam’s strikes upon the United States are represented in the testimony of Balaam and his ass, which of course is set forth in Numbers chapter twenty-two. The fate of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church as the Protestant horn of the earth beast is represented in Isaiah 22:22 (internal) and the fate of the Republican horn is set forth in Numbers 22:22 (external) and onward.

At 9/11, Balaam the false prophet, representing the United States and George Bush the lesser was seeking to finish the work his father George Bush the first had begun in the globalist’s attempt to overthrow the United States and implementing what he called “a new world order.” The biblical motivation of the globalists is to kill God’s remnant people, and George Bush the lesser represents the end of his father’s prophetic legacy of ushering in a “new world order” as he called it. Bush’s “new world order” arrives at the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and false prophet at the Sunday law, and George Bush the lesser marks the beginning of the period that culminates at the Sunday law, which is the sealing time, the image of the beast testing time, the period represented by the first voice of Revelation eighteen and so much more. Balaam’s ass turned the globalist agenda aside until the one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed in their foreheads.

Verses six and onward identify the “enemies” as “ten” nations, who are represented as ten kings in Revelation seventeen. There the ten kings are of one mind, but Asaph says, “they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee.” The ten kings are the globalist evil confederacy of the latter days, who have determined to “cut off” “Israel” “thy hidden ones” from “being a nation.” The work of the confederacy of ten kings who “lift up” the papal power as the “head” of the threefold union is to eliminate spiritual “Israel,” who are hidden in the “secret place of the Most High.”

At 9/11 the ass of Islam turned the dragon’s agenda out of its path, for the mighty angel of Revelation 18 descended with a sword in His hand. The internal test then was to return to the old paths. At that point the repetition of the Millerite histories of both the first and the second angels began to repeat as set forth in the history of Revelation eighteen’s first three verses. Those first three verses, being the verses Sister White stated would be fulfilled when the great buildings of New York City were brought down.

At 9/11 Revelation 18:1–3 was fulfilled, and the parallel of the first angel descending to lighten the earth with its glory on August 11, 1840 was then joined by the second angel who announced the fall of Babylon. Balaam was a symbol of the first angel, and Balaam was accompanied by his two servants, representing the second angel.

In Balaam’s illustration of the Republican horn of the false prophet, Balaam would have two more confrontations with the ass of Islam. At the third confrontation the ass would “speak,” and the speaking of prophecy marks the Sunday law. On October 7, 2023 the ass struck again, but not the spiritual modern glorious land. It struck the literal ancient glorious land, and Balaam and his ass was now in its second confrontation.

The vineyard of ancient Israel, illustrates the vineyard of Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism. They are both the covenant people that were given responsibility to be the depositaries of God’s Law, which is symbolized as a “wall,” and is one of the elements that make up the vineyard.

Ancient literal and modern spiritual Israel both rebelled and rejected their sacred responsibilities. From 9/11 unto the Sunday law a prophetic issue is represented by a “wall.” The prophetic issue is the destruction of the “wall” of separation of church and state within the Constitution of the United States. At 9/11 Bush implemented the Patriot Act which was a major step in overturning the Constitution, for it was there that the philosophy that guided the Constitution was turned upside down, when the principles of Roman law, that claims a person is guilty until proven innocent was accepted, above the principle of English law that upholds that a person is innocent until proven guilty.

The period from 9/11 unto the Sunday law contains prophetic references of “walls.” Islam crashing the walls as Balaam’s ass, identifies that it is the issue of Islam that will provide the misguided logic to overturn the principles within the Constitution. In this prophetic sense Islam, a biblical false prophet, is what deceives the United States during the image of the beast testing time, as does the false prophet of the United States deceive the entire world during the world’s image of the beast testing time.

October 7, 2023 the ass of Islam attacked the ancient literal glorious land, and when the ass is loosed before the proclamation of the Midnight Cry Islam will again strike the United States, the modern spiritual glorious land as it did at 9/11. The second time Balaam strikes the ass it is the second angel, and the second angel always produces a doubling as represented by “a path of vineyards” with two walls.

When we consider verses twenty-two and three more closely, we find that it is actually verse twenty-three where the ass is struck the first time.

God’s anger at Balaam for accepting the request to be a false prophet was a parallel to Christ ending His dialogue with the quibbling Jews in the last verse of Matthew 22. Verse twenty-three of Numbers twenty-two aligns with Matthew chapter twenty-three, and verses twenty-four and twenty-five of Numbers aligns with chapters twenty-four and twenty-five of Matthew. Verses twenty-six, twenty-seven and twenty-eight align with Matthew chapters 26, 27, 28.

Matthew 23 is the first angel, 24 and 25 are the second angel and 26, 27 and 28 are the third angel. In Numbers 22, verse 23 is the first angel, verses 24 and 25 are the second angel and verses 26, 27, and 28 are the third angel. Matthew is addressing the covenant people, old and new: Numbers is identifying the role of Islam as God’s tool of chastisement upon the Sunday worship that begins in the United States and thereafter the world. After the third strike, when the ass speaks, Balaam is enlightened to what had just happened.

Balaam represents the false prophet, who is the United States who speaks as a dragon at the Sunday law. At the Sunday law, when he is enlightened he represents those who are still in Babylon, who are then awakened to the issue of the Sunday law and are called out of Babylon.

Five days of teaching a message of unleavened bread from Miller, then thirty days of Christ teaching His priests, represented by the thirty, that leads to the trumpet warning message of the loosing of the ass, that precedes by five days the lifting up of the ensign, that precedes by five days the closed door in the parable of the ten virgins, that precedes by five days the Pentecostal Sunday law, which ushers in the seven-day period of Tabernacles, which is the full outpouring of the latter rain during the Sunday law crisis, for the test of that period is over the seventh day.

The number five is a symbol of the virgins, whether wise or foolish. The number thirty is a symbol of the priests, which is what the name Leviticus identifies. The number seven is the Sabbath. Leviticus twenty-three illustrates the history of the priests, the Levites of Malachi three, the wise virgins and the one hundred and forty-four thousand during the Sabbath testing time.

We will continue these things in the next article.
