The Abomination That Makes Desolate

The Countdown Is About To Be Completed!

The Countdown To the Abomination Began March 11, 2020 when W.H.O. announced a world wide pandemic!

THE BIGGEST EVENT SINCE THE CRUCIFIXION IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE AND YOU HAVE FRONT ROW SEATS

We are just days away from this event taking place. Do you know what to look for, and do you know where to look for it? Are you even watching? It is time to get right with Yehovah now with fasting and prayers and turning back to Him while you have time.

THE ABOMINATION THAT MAKES DESOLATE must surely qualify as one of the most misinterpreted subjects in the entire Bible. In truth, it is a mystery, as evidenced by the fact that even the prophet Daniel himself did not fully comprehend its meaning. (Daniel 12:8-9)

Clearly, therefore, there is no shame in failing to understand all the details of this major End-Times’ prophetic event. This is where Joseph Dumond’s second book in his Elijah Trilogy comes as such a timely and most befitting word in season. This work is best suited for those who genuinely and in earnest seek after truth, as it provides an accurate compass guiding the reader safely through the maze of all the key End-Times’ prophetic markers that enable one to come into a full understanding of the content therein. As the author leads you step-by-step; you will come to know the true meaning and full import of this earth-shattering event. For starters, you will be impacted by the urgency of the hour, as the timing of this event is just around the corner.

You will marvel in amazement as you have your eyes opened to the true understanding of what is meant by the 70th week of Daniel.
You will find out the true biblical location of the sacrificial altar for the Red Heifer, as well as the most probable timetable for this event. It will come as a revelation for you to learn that it may not necessarily mean a Temple has to be built before this sacrifice is made.

You will discover when the Antichrist intervenes to stop the sacrifices being offered at the altar in Jerusalem, and also, when he plans to set up “The Abomination That Makes Desolate.”

You will also learn when the “Two Witnesses” commence their ministry in Jerusalem, and how Nadab and Abihu—the two sons of Aaron—may have been prophetic symbols of those Two Witnesses.

The strength and beauty of this work is that, unlike so many other authors, Joseph Dumond actually gives answers that pinpoint exactly where we are prophetically today. Not only this, he gives us the tools to prove the answers for ourselves. He does this by demonstrating in the clearest terms aided by his colourful charts that the major KEYS to understanding END-TIMES’ PROPHECY are the Sabbatical and Jubilee Cycles. Most students of the Bible sadly are wholly unaware of their existence. Yet, once you understand these, you are able to—with a significantly improved level of accuracy—pinpoint exactly where we are in these biblical cycles of time. The amazing—or some might even say scary part being—that all of these spectacular, apocalyptic and catastrophic events will be taking place in just a few years from now!

The 1290 Days has already started counting down. Yehshua warned what was going to come next. Get ready!! We are there now and no one is prepared.

Foreword

This final part of Joseph Dumond’s Eliyah Trilogy is an awesome work of unadulterated truth made plain with brutal honesty. At the same time we are presented with so many startling revelations that you feel compelled to read on to discover more amazing surprises. Even though some of these may make for grim reading; you nevertheless need to go on with the text, as forewarned is forearmed.

A Day for a Year – a Year for a Day!

The title of the book rather understates what you and I, as well as the rest of the world are going to experience in the near future. It is based upon a longstanding tradition of the Jews to engage in deep repentance for the ten days between the Feast of Trumpets, (Yom Teruah), and the Day of Atonement, (Yom Kippur) each year. The author has used this same principle by applying a biblical twist to it by changing the days into years. A Day for a Year – a Year for a Day! In Bible prophecy, it is a common understanding that prophetic messages containing days, can be interpreted as years. Biblical examples of this are found in (Numbers 14:34 & Ezekiel 4:4-6). This means that from Trumpets to Yom Kippur, Israel, and the world at large will be given TEN YEARS to come to repentance. Based on Mr. Dumond’s understanding of the Sabbatical and the Jubilee Years; these prophetic 10 years of Awe begin as early as on the Feast of Trumpets of 2024, ending on the Day of Atonement, (Yom Kippur) in 2033! It is a terrifying thought to think how very close we are to the end of this age of man, as Yehovah’s full scale judgment on this world begins next year, engulfing all the Israelite nations, as well as the rest of the world in global chaos, war, famine, dictatorship and turmoil for ten solid years! What Joseph Dumond has done in this book is to give us a roadmap, where he has courageously linked the Ten Plagues of Egypt with the prophecies of the Book of Daniel, as well as with the various Horsemen, Seals, Trumpets, Beasts and Bowls of the Book of Revelation. As far as I am aware this has not been done before!

His analysis of the plagues of Egypt is by far the most thorough and the best I have ever seen, accompanied by many colour illustrations. However, not only does the author combine all of these mysterious prophetically interconnected events; more significantly he goes on to tell us exactly when these various events will occur within the ten-year time frame in question, namely those Ten Years of Awe! It truly is fantastic, as in this singular work we are given a compass into the immediate future; armed with a precise timescale as to when these spectacular earth-shattering events will occur.

Not only that, as those few who are prepared to submit to the “instructions,” (the Torah), of the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, will, just like the ancient Israelites escaping from their crushing bondage in Egypt, in a SECOND EXODUS; be given protection and a free pass to escape most of those ghastly horrors awaiting rebellious mankind.

The cataclysmic Great Tribulation will kick off on Passover 2030, and it will go on for an unspeakable three and a half years to end on the day of Yom Kippur, (the Day of Atonement) in 2033, e.g. the last 3.5 years. Those who are the true sheep of Yehovah will be counted worthy to escape this Great Tribulation. These faithful ones are variously described as “The Bride of Christ,” or as the Five Virgins, who have the necessary oil in their lamps when the Bridegroom, (Messiah Yeshua), comes for them.

Now for most people any book covering all of the above would be more than enough, yet Joseph Dumond has still more, indeed much more in store for the reader. Truth to tell; you will be treated to revelation after revelation, too much to digest in one reading. This foreword only permits me to cover just a few of them.

The Jewish Sages maintain that Adam, the first man was created on the Feast of Trumpets. Our Messiah Yeshua, who was the Second Adam, was also born on that same day, the Feast of Trumpets, (Yom Teruah)! At the end of the sixth millennial day, the one that is coming to an end right now, when Yehovah/Yeshua comes to judge the world; it too will be on this self-same day of Trumpets, when He will establish His Kingdom rule here on earth, ushering an unprecedented time of peace, and well-being for all, when paradise will be restored.

Polluted Altars

Having read Mr. Dumond’s well-researched part about the doctrine of the Trinity, it stands exposed as THE fundamental pillar of the Babylonian Mystery Religion. Once you realise its profane origins, spawned by incest, adultery and fornication within the same pagan family unit, you will be utterly shocked. Most of you will be surprised to discover the origins and the identity of those vile lowlifes who have so thoroughly infiltrated all the religions of the world. In direct consequence the religions of the world are operating from polluted altars with Christianity being no exception.

Brain Storming Sessions

Most fascinating are the brain storming sessions between Rabbi Fohrman and his comrade-in-arms, Imu Shalev. These two men treat you to a friendly and unparalleled repartee between two Jewish scholars, which in places is Oh, so Jewish, and at times very amusing. Even though the reader may not at all times be aware of what direction they are going in; you may be sure that they are 100% focussed upon finding the deeper underlying meaning of the text they are covering, and in the process, they uncover the most astounding truths. You find out why Miriam, the sister of Aaron was called “Bitter Waters” by her mother, plus why Yehovah referred to her as a prophet? You will get an insight into the demonic cruelty of the Pharaoh of Egypt. You will also get a much deeper appreciation for the suffering of those Hebrew mothers, as their male babies were taken by force by Pharaoh’s soldiers to be drowned in the Nile River. For the first time you will comprehend why after the Israelites crossed the Red Sea on dry land, why after a three day march, the waters at the Marah Oasis were bitter! You will receive so many new insights from these great scholars, and their main method is to question everything by always asking WHY? It is fascinating to see these seasoned Torah lovers at work. As I followed them, I found myself going through a gamut of emotions from smiling at their humour and verbal antics; to surprise and amazement at the exciting truths being unearthed. In the end, being struck by the profound import of their discoveries, it brought tears to my eyes.

An Amazing Analogy

When Moshe, Aharon and Miriam were alive there were three miracles that accompanied the Israelites in the merit of each of those three people.

1. MANNA
2. WATER
3. THE CLOUD THAT LED ISRAEL FROM ONE PLACE TO THE NEXT PLACE

What is the common denominator between those three things?

They are all things you need each day to exist!

1. You need water – you have water miraculously provided through The Rock.
2. You need food to exist – you have manna miraculously supplied.
3. You need daily direction to exist, so you do not get lost – You have direction.

The point is that their daily lives were augmented by miracles, and that is what life in the wilderness looks like. All their daily needs were provided for them miraculously. Forty years go by and then all is going to change. Miriam, Aaron and Moses all are going to die, and they are going into the land of Promise. The manna stops being provided. How are they going to get food? They are going to plant! How are they going to get water? They are going to draw it from a well! They won’t need direction anymore. Life is about to become natural. They are poised to make a transition from the supernatural of the desert into the natural world. For our Israelite ancestors it was a very big adjustment.

The curious thing is that with us on this side of imminent total world disintegration, whilst still enjoying the basic comforts of the natural world, we will soon have to face a flight into the wilderness, where only the supernatural can provide us with our daily needs. For us in our modern day, it too will be a huge adjustment only in reverse! It will be a huge test of faith for most of us. Here’s the thing; God does like to test us!

Exercise GREAT Faith!

Genesis 15:6 “And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.” Abraham also believed in God and his belief or faith translated into Abraham “obeyed!” Obeying Yehovah’s Voice! Yehovah didn’t know Abraham’s faith until he obeyed His Voice – until he offered Isaac, his only begotten son! Not for nothing was Abraham called the ‘Father of the Faithful!’ For sure, the Holy One of Israel is going to test all of us, more than we can possibly know or imagine. This is why it is ever so important you get this book, as it will help you more than you can possibly understand at this moment. This is So urgent! There is no time to lose! Remember, you need your roadmap to prepare yourself for all the terrors and impregnable obstacles on the way. There is no time to dither, no time to say, I will think about it! The time is too short for that, as by the time you will have thought about it, you will be too late! I have read this book twice now, and I want to read it again. Why? Simply, because I think it so important to the future of my family that I want to make it my own by internalizing it. This work is that important! If you value your life and the life of your family my earnest advice is, GET THIS BOOK NOW!

Foreword Part Two

TEN DAYS OF AWE

By Joseph F Dumond

Why do we need another Foreword? The reason is that Joseph Dumond only gave me just over half of his book, not knowing how long it was going to take him to finish, or how many more pages he had to write. Thus this Foreword applies to the second half of this incredible book.

Amazing Connections

The most amazing aspect of this work is how the author has connected the somewhat obscure account of the Sotah woman mentioned in Numbers 5:14-28, with all the end time prophetic judgments and all the curses listed in Leviticus 26. How many of us reading this material have ever made a study of the Sotah woman? How many of us have even heard of her? She is brought before the priest when her husband has a spirit of jealousy, yet he is not able to prove any infidelity. She in order to establish the truth has to drink the cup of bitter waters into which the priest has placed the scrapings of the written curse, mixed with the dust of the floor of the tabernacle. The priest then puts her under oath, and says to the woman; “If no man has lain with you, and you have not gone astray to uncleanness while under your husband’s authority, be free from this bitter water that brings a curse.”

The priest in the presence of her husband then goes on to say:

“But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, and if you have defiled yourself and some other man other than your husband has lain with you”- then the priest shall put the woman under the oath of the curse, and he shall say to the woman – “the LORD make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the LORD makes your thigh rot and your belly swell; “and may this water that causes the curse go into your stomach, and make your belly swell and your thigh rot.” Then the woman shall say, “Amen, so be it.”

The author them goes on to point out the many parallelisms to the bitter waters the Sotah woman has to drink, starting with our first parents Adam and Eve who were driven out of the Garden of Eden after they discovered their nakedness. The Sotah woman will be stripped naked exposing her shame, it is all connected.

Israel, inclusive of Judah, too provoked Yehovah to jealousy with strange gods, and as part of the Law of jealousy she will inherit the same fate. She too will be made to drink the bitter waters, and her stomach will become distended and bloated and her thighs like matchsticks will fall away, because of the plague of extreme famine coming onto the world.

Those bitter waters are also referred to in the earlier chapter in connection with the sorrow of the Hebrew mothers, who in the latter years of their captivity, had to suffer seeing their young baby boys forcefully taken away by Pharaoh’s soldiers to be mercilessly drowned in the River Nile.

We also learned that Miriam, the sister of Aaron and Moses curiously was named ‘Bitter Waters’ by her mother. She was the one who saved the young life of baby Moses, as she followed his little floating basket to the edge of the reeds, where the daughter of Pharaoh was bathing with her maid.

She showed great presence of mind to offer the princess a nursing maid for the baby. Later on she tasted the bitter waters, when she spoke to Aaron about Moses’ leadership, and criticized her brother. She was struck by leprosy, and suffered the humiliation of being put out of the Camp of Israel for seven days. The children of Israel too, after a three day march through the desert when they thirsted for water experienced a major test of faith when they came to Marah, as the waters were found to be bitter.

Ezekiel 16; is pointed out to us, as yet another dramatic account of a woman representing the whole house of Israel, who strayed very badly, not just with one lover, but with hundreds if not thousands of them in continuous rebellion against Yehovah. He saved her from certain death in a howling wilderness, and who chose her and gave her life. When you read this chapter, you cannot but be greatly moved by the intense pain our Father must suffer in observing His chosen nation to continuously flout His commandments.

Moving onto the New Testament, we find that in the parable of the ‘Woman at the Well,’ Yeshua addresses her as a type of the Sotah woman; as she too was an adulteress. The same goes for Mary Magdalena who was also a Sotah woman.

The rules of the Sotah woman come in to judge all of us. Yeshua paid that price so we can be redeemed because of this, if we repent and turn back to Yehovah. In the narrative, the author reminds us that our calling is to be witnesses to the greatest spectacles in the history of the world – not just as spectators, but as active participants. “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall flame scorch you. For I am Yehovah your Elohim, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; (Isaiah 43:2-3a).

The angel with the seventh vial cast down hailstones that were 100 talents in weight. This is like the Sotah woman being stoned to death for her sins. Yeshua too, was stoned for our sins while hanging on the cross.

Deceiving the Whole World

From here on the narrative moves to ancient Babylon with a quote from Genesis: “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.” (Genesis 3:15).

The ancient world in general were perfectly aware of the grand primeval promise of Eden, and they understood that the bruising of the heel of the promised seed would result in His death, and that a curse would be removed from the world by the death of the grand deliverer. If the premise of the bruising of the serpent’s head, recorded in Genesis, as made to our first parents, then it might be expected that some trace of this premise would be found in all nations. And such is the case, as there are hardly a people or nations on earth whose mythology it is not spoken of. For instance, the Greeks pictured their great god Apollo on slaying the serpent Pytho, and Herculus strangling serpents while yet in his cradle. We find evidence in the mythology of Egypt, in India, in Scandinavia, and in Mexico we find clear allusions to the same great truth, whose source can only come from the Book of Genesis. The evil genius of the Egyptian god Horus is frequently portrayed as a snake, whose head he is seen piercing with a spear. We see the same fable appear in India where the malignant serpent Calyia is slain by Vishnu in his avatar of Krishna. The   great Scandinavian deity Thor was said to have bruised the head of the great serpent with his mace. The source of all of this maybe readily traced to the Bible.

The above general intro to the ancient patriarchs of the post Flood age Mr Dumond introduces us to a most fascinating behind the scenes look at Ham, Canaan, Cush, and Nimrod. In short Ham usurped Noah by having sex with Noah’s wife, his mother; he in turn was supplanted by Cush, who used the same method of sleeping with his grandmother, Noah’s ex-wife. After this Nimrod took over the reins of the Babylonian empire and its mystery religion, and he too slept with Noah’s wife, who by this time had changed her name to Semiramis. The reader is treated to totally fresh pastures of ancient world history, which effectively is the birthplace of our world today. It is also the ancient fountainhead of all of the major religions of the world. It is a world of many gods, most of which resurfaced in Egypt, Persia, Greece and Rome under different names. The reader is in for many surprises in this section, which is graced with many excellent color plates. Dumond’s research deserves a special accolade, as it is truly most impressive. His superb referencing of his sources too is of the highest standard.

We are also taken along to Egypt where we are being shown how the ten plagues of Egypt were specifically targeted at the ten major gods of Egypt. This truly is a most fascinating study accompanied with wonderful full color pictures of their gods, which explain their role in Egyptian society. They also illustrate the plagues, and how in each case they are being thoroughly humbled by the plagues called forth by Moses. Joseph Dumond also demonstrates how these same gods, who are no gods, are being worshipped around the world even today, with all roads leading back to Babylon. Sadly, this is very much the case with Christianity too. The whole point of the exercise is that Yehovah is visiting the same plagues upon our sinful society today.

Brief allusion was also made to Esau weeping before his father Isaac, after he had been beaten to the blessing by Jacob. Isaac blessed him by saying: “By your sword shall you live, and you shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass, when you become restless, that you shall break his yoke from your neck.” (Genesis 27:14). Later on he vowed that he: “Would kill his brother Jacob!” The ominously plain fact is that he will be given the opportunity to do so in the near future!

Obey!

Finally at numerous points in this work the author stresses the point that – When we obey Yehovah and DO His commandments and observe His Torah, we will not be harmed by five curses of the Book of Leviticus chapter 26, the 7 seals of Revelation, the 7 Trumpet plagues, and the 7 plagues in bowls will not harm us. When we obey we can drink the cup of the bitter waters given to the Sotah woman, knowing we are not straying, but that we are earnestly obeying Yehovah, who will bless us and keep us, and not do us any harm.

The Ten Days of Awe is a sublime conclusion to Joseph Dumond’s Elijah Trilogy, in which the author has surpassed himself.

In my view this is a true Biblical Masterpiece which I recommend

with all my heart.

Here is my ‘before I read the book” review:

I want to learn what God has to say about the next ten years.  That is why I am planning to read Joseph Dumond’s book The 10 Days of Awe.  Mr. Dumond searches the Scriptures with due attention to context and Hebrew meaning of the words God chose.  He then presents a straight forward analysis with Bible references quoted at length and detailed footnotes of his research.  Mr. Dumond is deeply interested in history and personally visits the locations and searches the archives to determine the pertinent facts that enhance the Bible reader’s understanding.

I have read most of his books, all of which supplement and augment my understanding of Scriptures.  He urges the reader to take God at His word, trust, and act accordingly.

I highly recommend this book for those few who are earnestly seeking Biblical truth. Be prepared to blown away with what you read in this tremendous expose’!

5.0 out of 5 stars The uncomfortable MUST KNOW history of the church(s)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 11, 2022

This was a hard read… because it is a book for grown-ups. Throughout history there has been a struggle between the church that guards the scriptures and the ones that rewrite their own version and interpretation of scriptures. Many people may not want to know the truth, but Joe Dumond tells you anyway.

Once you learn what has been lost, then you will see what is being restored. The author does a great job at not only covering this topic, but covering it in detail… there are footnotes on just about every page which not only back-up what the author presents, but give one the more-more-more follow-up resources that some people want.

I say that this book is an uncomfortable hard read, and it is… it’s long, it contains hard truths, and… well… it makes you hope the next book in the trilogy is just as long and contains just as much truth. Compared to this author’s other books, this one stands on its own like the rest do. Which to read first? Hmmm… tough question. Maybe checkout his “sightedmoon” website and ask him yourself.

Sooo much information that has been hidden that Mr. Dumond reveals with very factual truth. You need to know the what, how and when of what has been lost in our “church” understanding of the plan of our Creator and why we need to know before He can return. Really a 10 star book as are all of his works.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great compendium

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 27, 2022

Very much like the 2300 Days of Hell by the same author, this is a great scholarly effort. It gathers together many accounts of rediscoveries of Biblical truth; keeping in mind that the Reformation was only the beginning.

That the full restoration of biblical practice has not yet been completed is evident by the fact that Yeshua/Jesus has not returned despite Christianity, Mormonism, or Islam having already encircled the globe. The end will not come until the true gospel has been preached in all the world. Joseph’s book makes clear what great efforts have been made in this regard and that Jehovah has had to direct this work through our weaknesses in the absence of our unity of Spirit. It hammers home the importance for believers to stop squabbling over minor though important differences that the Bible does not consider reason not to fellowship with one another, and instead prepare for His return by working together.

Though I personally believe this restoration is not yet complete, because of a lack of understanding of gender roles, if Joseph’s calculations are correct, then Western civilisation only has 10 more months to rediscover them. It could well be that this final missing piece of the puzzle can only be restored in the 10 years when Jehovah’s main focus turns back to the Middle East where much biblical culture still remains.

But whenever these things might be and however they might unfold, this is another great resource in understanding the great work being done by the Father of lights and our need to continually fill our lamps with oil.

It Was A Riddle Not A Command

Join Our Sabbath Meetings

There are many people in need of fellowship and who are sitting at home on the Sabbath with no one to talk to or debate with. I want to encourage all of you to join us on Shabbat, and to invite others to come and join us as well. If the time is not convenient then you can listen to the teaching and the midrash after on our YouTube channel.

What are we doing and why do we teach this way?

We are going to discuss both sides of an issue and then let you choose. It is the work of the Ruach (Spirit) to direct and to teach you.

The medieval commentator Rashi wrote that the Hebrew word for wrestle (avek) implies that Jacob was “tied”, for the same word is used to describe knotted fringes in a Jewish prayer shawl, the tzitzityot. Rashi says, “thus is the manner of two people who struggle to overthrow each other, that one embraces the other and knots him with his arms”.

Our intellectual wrestling has been replaced by a different kind of struggle. We are Wrestling with Yehovah as we grapple with His Word. It is an intimate act, symbolizing a relationship in which Yehovah and I and you are bound together. My wrestling is a struggle to discover what Yehovah expects of us, and we are “tied” to the One who assists us in that struggle.

Today, many say Israel means “Champion of God”, or better — the “Wrestler of God”.

Our Torah sessions each Shabbat teaches you and encourages you to constantly challenge, question, argue against, as well as view alternative views and explanations of the Word. In other words, we are to “wrestle with the Word” to get to the truth. Jews worldwide believe that you need to wrestle with the Word and constantly challenge Dogma, Theology, and views or else you will never get to the Truth.

We are not like most churches where “The preacher talks and everyone listens.” We encourage everyone to participate, to question and to contribute what they know on the subject being discussed. We want you to be a champion wrestler of the Word of Yehovah. We want you to wear the title of Israel, knowing that you not only know but are capable of explaining why you know the Torah to be true with logic and facts.

We have a few rules though. Let others talk and listen. There is no discussion about UFO’s Nephilim, Vaccines or conspiracy-type subjects. We have people from around the world with different world views. Not everyone cares who is the President of any particular country. Treat each other with respect as Fellow wrestlers of the word. Some of our subjects are hard to understand and require you to be mature and if you do not know, then listen to gain knowledge and understanding and hopefully wisdom. The very things you are commanded to ask Yehovah for and He gives to those who ask.

Jas 1:5  But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.

We hope you can invite those who want to keep Torah to come and join us by hitting the link below. It is almost like a Torah teaching fellowship talk show with people from around the world taking part and sharing their insights and understandings.

We start off with some music and then some prayers and it’s as though you were sitting around the kitchen back in Newfoundland having a cup of coffee and all of us enjoying each other’s company. I hope you will grace us with your company someday.

Sabbath services begin at 12:30 PM EDT where we will be doing prayers songs and teaching from this hour.

Shabbat Services will begin at about 1:15 pm Eastern.

On the Holy Day, Shavuot, we will be having two meetings. One at 10 AM Eastern and the afternoon will be 2 PM Eastern. Look forward to seeing you all there.

We look forward to you joining our family and getting to know us as we get to know you.

The Witnesses Who Saw the Preparations of the Abomination

FIRE IN THE HOLE!

This article and all pictures are copyrighted and reproduction without written permission in whole or in part is not permitted. This article is to be shared as whole or not at all.

1. I, Shane Diltz, along with Joseph F. Dumond, assisted in witnessing a construction project that could be a shrine for the setup of the abomination. I, as the assistant, took photos and a video of Joseph F. Dumond with this construction project, amongst other items, around the premises.
2. It was September 4th, 2023, and Joseph F. Dumond pointed my attention to the construction of this particular shrine site. I Rebeca Corlan, am a witness of this.,
3. On Monday morning, September 4, I, Randy Cates, witnessed the construction of a shrine in which a statue is about to be placed. No one but Joseph Dumond showed this to me, and I am a witness to it.
4. Me and my husband, Aijun & Cristina Wang witnessed the set up of a shrine in the vicinity of Maison D’Avraham last September 4, 2023 which was told could be the place where the abomination that causes desolation may take place this end of the month approximately. Brother Joseph Dumond is the one who extensively studied about this and we are inclined to believe as his calendar proved to be correct.
5. On Monday morning, September 4 I, Pauline Benjes witnessed the construction of a shrine in Jerusalem, in which an idol/statue is about to be placed. Joseph Dumond showed this to me, and I am a witness to it. Joe Dumond pointed out to me something being constructed in Jerusalem that, according to Scripture, should not be built. It’s being constructed in preparation of a statue being set up. It is something that is abominable to Yehovah and it’s being set up in a very holy place. Very much like Solomon did.
   It’s time to get ready to flee!
6. When staying at Abrahams House on a Mount opposite the City of David the cap of which belongs to the Catholic Church surrounded by a strong Arab Prescence of Dwelling. This being itself a strange agreement. This is the same place the Pope Stays while visiting Jerusalem. What is Hid here? And covered up from easy access. Through study and a Listening heart of conviction of truth, I believe this is the crucifixion site. In Relativity, where the high priest’s house is being able to look into the temple to watch the priest in their duties, the Centurian who could see from the crucifixion placed the veil torn in the Temple, the Practicality of Joseph of Arimathea, Leaving Mashiack after his Death to see Pilate to claim his body then return and take his body to the burial chamber would have been an impossibility before sundown. From any other possible crucifixion site. Crucifixion, Burial Tomb, and Garden of Gethsemane are all on this Mount. If so, this would be indescribably the most holy place. Well, there is construction there and the Statue of Abomination not Yet finished, but to be finished very Soon. I Paul Barry, was shown all these things by Joseph F. Dumond, on Monday, September 4, 2023, when we stayed there overnight. This could be the place where the speaking Idol could be Constructed on the Most Holy Place, Moriah, Mount of Offence, My only disappointment is the size of this construction, thinking it would be big and a terrifying experience for all. Certain actions were taken to unknowingly to desecrate before being erected.

We have 6 written testimonies and I know there are two more who have seen it but did not write testimonials besides myself. We had to be discreet so as not to draw attention to what we were looking at. But everyone who saw it recognized what it was to be used for. It was all brand new and had only been erected in the past month.

I saw the construction material but could not discover what was being constructed until late in the evening. At first, I thought it was the material from a new lounge they had built.

I, along with several others, who were also looking discretely for some sort of construction project, could not find anything that resembled an abomination. We searched in all four corners as it was to be on the corner of the altar, the corner of Golgotha. We had walked past it at least a half dozen times. Then Shane Diltz and I were looking again just before we were going to head off to bed. And there is was in plain sight—a Shrine.

All of us who saw it were expecting a much larger and grander statue, but here it was. A newly constructed shrine to the “Blessed Virgin Mary.” Those of you who have read The Abomination That Makes Desolate understand how just a little Hammashchith in a brownie is revolting. But here in this place where the Ark of the Covenant is buried nearby, here, where the Shekinah moved to from the Temple, here where Yehshua was sacrificed and killed very near the sin altar, which is also the Red Heifer Altar, they are setting up a shrine to the Queen of Heaven, the god known as Ishtar and Hathor. We explain about this god in detail in our just-published book The 10 Days of Awe.

We had thought it would be like the Jesus statue in Brazil, like the many shrines in the Philippines, or a giant billboard that can move its arms and legs and change what it looks like. We have expressed this in the past in several articles.  One reader sent this video of the erection of a statue of Mary in Egypt,  which is what I was expecting to see. https://religionunplugged.com/news/2023/8/23/mary-statue-worlds-tallest-dedicated-in-egypt

Again, here we are looking at the construction of a shrine in a convent. It is something that would be normally expected. Nothing new here except….

I have been going to this Convent since 2006, when I discovered this to be Golgotha, and when I first stayed there in 2007. I found it so strange that there was not one crucifix on the entire property. There was an iron one in the garden, but that was it. And it has been removed in the last two years to make room for the chalets they built there. In the chapel, there was nothing on any of the walls except an icon of Mary’s head with the child all in gold. And I could not find any other icons or any other crucifixes. It seemed so odd, yet there were none. The picture below used to be the only one I found and it was in the chapel or church.

I have not been here except on a short visit with Randy Cates in 2021, but I had not stayed here for a number of years before that. On this visit, the chapel has many more pictures of the Virgin Mary, a crucifix and a statue of St Dominic. The Chapel had been turned from facing the north to now facing the south, and the southern wall was painted with many images of Jesus and the crucifixion.

I have been considering why it was not on the southern corner as I expected. The following is what I discovered.

The Coming Day of the Lord

Zec 14:1  Behold, the day of Jehovah comes, and your spoil shall be divided in your midst.

Zec 14:2  For I will gather all nations to battle against Jerusalem; and the city shall be taken, and the houses plundered, and the women raped. And half of the city shall go into exile, and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Zec 14:3  And Jehovah shall go out and fight against those nations, like the day He fought in the day of battle.

Zec 14:4  And His feet shall stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall divide from its middle, from the east and to the west, a very great valley. And half of the mountain shall move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Jerusalem is what we now call the City of David. The Mountain across from it is Golgotha. We fully expect this mountain to split in two in 2030, when the two witnesses will be killed and lie in the street for 3 1/2 days.

Half the mountain is going to go to the south, and half is going to go towards the north.

When we look up the word Olives to learn which of the three mountains is actually being spoken of, we get an interesting description.

BDB Definition:

2) mountain facing Jerusalem on the east side (noun proper locative)

Jerusalem was the City of David. The City of David used to be called Jebus and was where Mechezideck built the Altar that Eli Shukron showed us. It is just above the Gihon Spring and directly across from Golgotha.

Temple Zero with Joseph Dumond and Eli Shukron. The Standing Stone inside the protective case.

Temple Zero or the Melchizedek Temple in Jebus. The Slaughter place.

The Olive Press for making the anointing oil used in the Temple.

This is the Altar site to the left of Eli. Again Shem, who was known as Melchizedek, the King of Salem, would later be known by the Canaanite word for city, Jeru or the City of Salem. After Shem died, the Jeru Salem became known as Jebus which did not come back into possession of Israel until King David captured it.

Zechariah lived simultaneously as Nehemia, who rebuilt the walls pointed out in the City of David. The mountain across from the City of David is Golgotha, also known as where the olives were pressed for the sacred anointing oil used in the Temple. Golgotha is also known as the Mount of Offence, where Solomon placed his abominations at the southern edge.

This abomination to Mary, who is the same god as the Egyptian god Hathor and the Roman god Dianna or the Babylonian god Ishtar, is being erected just 142 yards south of the place where Yehshua was killed. I am standing in the approximate place of the Crucifixion below.

Zechariah says this mountain is going to be split from east to west, and half is going to go to the north, and half is going to go to the south. When we look at the rift that goes through this mountain, we can see exactly where it will split. The Qehenna Valley lines up with this rift which runs through the center of the mountain. The center is where the Shrine is outside and where the chapel is. Both will fall into the pit when it splits, just as Satan and the Azazel goat do. Rev 20 and Lev 16.

On Sept 8th I went back to confirm what Shane had seen in his camera, that the forms had been removed and the next phase was about to begin. That is the plastering and parging, preparing the shrine before painting and then placement of the statue. I did confirm all of this and made a short video. I cannot post it now because I have to upload it and many will share it before I can actually witness the abomination itself.

As I began to exit the premises, I was confronted about making the video. They have cameras around the entire property and watched my every move. There has been some trouble in the past from Western evangelical types sneaking into the premises, causing trouble. Because of their antics, I have had to be very cautious about what I reported and even gave you misleading information and put a gag order on the witnesses who saw the shrine with me.

Then, on Monday, September 11, 2023, I woke up to a vision. In my vision, I was asking myself why I was being told not to go back to get my things from the room I would be in.

Mat 24:15  Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place (whoever reads, let him understand).

Mat 24:16  Then let those in Judea flee into the mountains.

Mat 24:17  Let him on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house;

Mat 24:18  nor let him in the field turn back to take his clothes.

We who are reading this are supposed to understand.

In prophecy, the mountains are often used to describe nations. So those in Judea should flee to the nations. I may have to watch this event from the roof. So I am being told two times not to return to my room to get my things. I am being told to leave immediately!!!

Then, in my vision, I saw my room, which was a cabin in the back and when I opened the door there was a man in the back coming out of the closet with a knife. Just another tourist stabbed in Israel. No one will be caught. So this was my vision and I am not a strong believer in dreams that cannot be validated by scripture.

Tuesday the next day, Sept 12, 2023, I had another dream vision. This time, I was blowing a shofar. I cannot currently blow the shofar, but in my dream, I blew it, and it was SO LOUD and smooth as silk. It was heard everywhere. What this means, I did not know then.

I do not normally have dreams or visions, But I am sticking them both in the back of my head, and I will be watching.

On September 21, 2023, there was a huge gathering at the Kotel and I being about a mile away could hear them as if I was right there amongst them. It was after 12 Midnight and went on loudly until 1:45 AM. These are the Selicot prayers being done leading up to Yom Kippur when our sins will be blotted out. As we say may your name be found in the Book of Life. If only we messed up messianics would repent and learn many things from our brother Judah instead of condemning them for not believing in Jesus.

It was during this event after midnight as I sat on the edge of the Golgotha where Yehshua was crucified and buried nearby that I then heard that loud and silky smooth trumpet blast. And my attention was brought right back to the vision I had the night before about the shofar as smooth as silk. What does it mean? I stayed there overlooking the Temple and the Kidron listening until the service was over at 1:45 AM.

For the rest of that week, I kept thinking about what Yehshua said about not returning for my things.

Stop a moment and consider what He was saying. How many people were going to be witnessing the abomination being set up? How many even know where to look? How many even know when to be looking? How many are in Jerusalem doing these things? It is only those who are reading sightedmoon.com each week and it is only I here at the most Holy Place watching them prepare the site for the abomination to be set up. Yehshua was telling to me, not to go back for my things. His one witness to the abomination being set up.

Most of the world believes the Temple Mount is the Holy Place. They believe the Dome of the Rock is the Abomination set up by the Umayyad Caliphate on the orders of Abd al-Malik during the Second Fitna in 691–692 CE, Or they think the Al Aqsa Mosque is the abomination.

During the rule of the Rashidun caliph Umar (r. 634–644) or the Umayyad caliph Mu’awiya I (r. 661–680), a small prayer house on the compound was erected near the mosque’s site. The present-day mosque, located on the south wall of the compound, was originally built by the fifth Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik (r. 685–705) or his successor al-Walid I (r. 705–715) (or both) as a congregational mosque on the same axis as the Dome of the Rock, a commemorative Islamic monument. After being destroyed in an earthquake in 746, the mosque was rebuilt in 758 by the Abbasid caliph al-Mansur. It was further expanded upon in 780 by the Abbasid caliph al-Mahdi, after which it consisted of fifteen aisles and a central dome. However, it was again destroyed during the 1033 Jordan Rift Valley earthquake. The mosque was rebuilt by the Fatimid caliph al-Zahir (r. 1021–1036), who reduced it to seven aisles but adorned its interior with an elaborate central archway covered in vegetal mosaics; the current structure preserves the 11th-century outline.

Neither of these are Holy according to Yehovah’s word. Nor is what the world calls The Temple Mount, Holy.

We are told in Ezekiel that Shekinah moved to a certain mountain.

Eze 9:1  And He cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Let the overseers of the city draw near, even each with his destroying weapon in his hand.

Eze 9:2  And behold, six men came from the way of the Upper Gate which faces north, and each had his shattering weapon in his hand. And one man among them was clothed with linen, and a writer’s inkhorn by his side. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.

Eze 9:3  And the glory of the God of Israel had gone on from the cherub, where it was on it, to the threshold of the house. And He called to the man clothed in linen, with the writer’s inkhorn by his side.

The Glory of Yehovah is the Shekinah which is above the Cherubs on the Ark of the Covenant.

Eze 9:4  And Jehovah said to him, Go through in the midst of the city, in the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men who are groaning and are mourning because of all the abominations that are done in her midst.

Eze 9:5  And He said to those in my hearing, Go over in the city after him, and strike. Let not your eye spare, nor have pity.

Eze 9:6  Fully destroy old men, young men and virgins, and little children and women. But do not come near any man on whom is the mark. And begin at My sanctuary. And they began at the old men who werebefore the house.

Eze 9:7  And He said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out! And they went out and killed in the city.

Eze 9:8  And it happened as they were slaying them, and I remained, then I fell on my face and cried, and said, Ah Lord Jehovah! Will You destroy all the remnant of Israel in Your pouring out of Your fury on Jerusalem?

Eze 9:9  And He said to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is great, and the land is full of blood, and the city is full of perversity. For they say, Jehovah has forsaken the land; and, Jehovah does not see.

Eze 9:10  And even I, My eye shall not spare, nor will I have pity, but I will put their way on their head.

Eze 9:11  And behold, the man clothed with linen, with the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as You have commanded me.

In chapter 10 we are going to read about the departure of the Shekinah from the Temple in Jerusalem, which again is the City of David.

The Glory of the Lord Leaves the Temple

Eze 10:1  And I looked, and behold! In the expanse over the head of the cherubs was seen the appearance of the form of a throne, like a sapphire stone, above them.

Eze 10:2  And He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubs, and scatter them on the city. And he went in before me.

Eze 10:3  And the cherubs were standing on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

Eze 10:4  And the glory of Jehovah rose from the cherub, over the threshold of the house. And the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Jehovah’s glory.

Eze 10:5  And the sound of the cherubs’ wings was heard over the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when He speaks.

Eze 10:6  And it happened when He had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubs; he went in then and stood beside the wheels.

Eze 10:7  And a cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubs to the fire between the cherubs, and he lifted it and put it into the hands of the one clothed with linen. And he took it and went out.

Eze 10:8  And the form of a man’s hand was seen under the wings of the cherubs.

Eze 10:9  And I looked, and behold, the four wheels were beside the cherubs, one wheel was by one cherub, and another wheel by one cherub; and the wheels looked like the color of a stone of Tarshish.

Eze 10:10  And their appearance was as one, the four of them, as if the wheel were in the midst of the wheel.

Eze 10:11  When they went, they went on their four sides. They did not turn as they went, for to the place where the head faces, after it they went. They did not turn as they went.

Eze 10:12  And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all around, even their wheels that the four of them had.

Eze 10:13  As for the wheels, it was cried to them in my hearing, Whirling wheel!

Eze 10:14  And four faces were to each one. The first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

Eze 10:15  And the cherubs rose up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.

Eze 10:16  And when the cherubs went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubs lifted their wings to soar from the earth, the wheels did not turn from beside them, even they.

Eze 10:17  When they stood still, these stood still, and when they rose up, these lifted up. For the spirit of the living creature was in them.

Eze 10:18  And the glory of Jehovah went from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubs.

Eze 10:19  And the cherubs lifted up their wings and rose up from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the wheels also were beside them. And he stood at the door of the eastern gate of Jehovah’s house. And the glory of the God of Israel was over them from above.

Eze 10:20  This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I knew that they were cherubs.

Eze 10:21  Four, even four faces are to each; and four wings to each. And the form of a man’s hands was under their wings.

Eze 10:22  And the form of their faces, they are the faces that I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances even theirs. They each went straight forward.

As I read these chapters, I see it is for us today. Yehovah is giving us a message today. So pay attention.

Judgment on Wicked Counselors

Eze 11:1  And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the eastern gate of Jehovah’s house, which faces eastward. And behold, twenty-five men were at the opening of the gate; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people.

Eze 11:2  And He said to me, Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked advice in this city;

Eze 11:3  who say, It is not near; let us build houses; this city is the pot, and we are the flesh.

Eze 11:4  Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, O son of man!

Eze 11:5  And the Spirit of Jehovah fell on me, and said to me, Speak: So says Jehovah: So you have said, O house of Israel, for I Myself know the elevations of your spirit.

Eze 11:6  You have multiplied your dead in this city, and you have filled its streets with the dead.

Eze 11:7  Therefore so says the Lord Jehovah: Your slain whom you have laid in her midst, they are the flesh, and this city is the pot. But I will bring you out of her midst.

Eze 11:8  You have feared the sword, and I will bring a sword on you, says the Lord Jehovah.

Eze 11:9  And I will bring you out of her midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments on you.

Eze 11:10  You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel, and you shall know that I amJehovah.

Eze 11:11  This city shall not be your pot, nor shall you be the flesh in her midst. But I will judge you in the border of Israel,

Eze 11:12  and you shall know that I am Jehovah. For you have not walked in My statutes, nor have you done My judgments, but have done after the customs of the nations all around you.

Eze 11:13  And it happened when I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. And I fell on my face and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord Jehovah! Will You make a full end of the remnant of Israel?

Israel’s New Heart and Spirit

Eze 11:14  Again the Word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

Eze 11:15  Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your kindred, and all the house of Israel, all that have heard the inhabitants of Jerusalem saying to all of them, Go far away from Jehovah; this land is given to us for a possession.

Eze 11:16  Therefore say, So says the Lord Jehovah: Though I have sent them far off among the nations, and though I scattered them among the lands, yet I will be to them as a little sanctuary in the lands where they had gone.

Eze 11:17  Therefore say, So says the Lord Jehovah: I will even gather you from the people and assemble you out of the lands, in those where you were scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

Eze 11:18  And they shall come there, and they shall take away all its hateful things and all its abominations from it.

Eze 11:19  And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will remove the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh,

Eze 11:20  so that they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances, and do them. And they shall be My people, and I will be their God.

Eze 11:21  And as to those whose heart is going aftertheir hateful things, and also their heart is after their disgusting idols, I will give their way on their own heads, says the Lord Jehovah.

Eze 11:22  And the cherubs lifted up their wings, and the wheels beside them. And the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

Eze 11:23  And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.

Eze 11:24  And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to the exiles. And the vision that I had seen went up from me.

Eze 11:25  And I spoke to the exiles all the things that Jehovah had shown me.

The Mountain that Yehovah went to was Golgotha.

While Ezekiel was already in Captivity about 597 BC, Jeremiah was still in Jerusalem, prophesying. Maccabees 2 says Jeremiah hid the Ark and treasures of the Temple on Mount Nebo in Jordan. The Copper Scroll says he hid some of the treasures in Qumran. And yet, Ron Wyatt says he saw the Ark behind the bus station near the Garden Tomb or what is now called Calvary. Ernest Martin led us to believe the Ark is on top of the Mount of Olives at either the Church of the Ascension or the Pater Noster Church. And you have the Ethiopians who say the Ark is in Aksum, in the Head Church of the Churches, Holy of Holies, the Virgin Mary of Zion. So where is the Ark and where is the Holy Place that the abomination is to be set up on? That is the real question. Is it actually the Temple Mount? Or is it at Temple Zero or where Eli Shukron discovered the Melchizedek Stone and altar? All these men give you the clues to find it. But you must walk them out on the ground in Israel to discover the truth. We have done this for the past 18 years now.

If Ron Wyatt actually did see the Ark and videoed it, then we need to have that as evidence to prove what area is indeed Holy. Then, with that evidence, we would know for sure that this Abomination being set up is indeed on Holy Ground, and that is the thing Daniel is speaking about.

The Altar

The past few days, I have been here in Israel thinking. September 22, has come and gone. Today is Shabbat. Will the abomination be set up today the 23, or Sunday the 24th or Monday, the Day of Atonement according to the Hillel calendar, September 25, 2023?

All I can do is wait and watch.

As I sit here at the crucifixion site, a thought occurred to me. We have written to you about the Shekinah moving from the Temple to the Mount across from Jerusalem. And we have identified that Mountain as Golgotha and how it was the Altar. We explain this in our book The Abomination That Makes Desolate.

Here is the verse that came to mind.

Lev 6:8  And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Lev 6:9  Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering. It is the burnt offering for burning on the altar all night to the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.

Lev 6:10  And the priest shall put on his linen garment. And he shall put his linen breeches on his flesh and take up the ashes which the fire has consumed with the burnt offering on the altar. And he shall put them beside the altar.

Lev 6:11  And he shall strip off his garments and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.

Lev 6:12  And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. It shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it. And he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings.

Lev 6:13  The fire shall always be burning on the altar. It shall never go out.

We read in Lev 9 how Yehovah consumed everything on the Altar.

Lev 9:22  And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering and the burnt offering and peace offerings.

Lev 9:23  And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out and blessed the people. And the glory of Jehovah appeared to all the people.

Lev 9:24  And there came a fire out from before Jehovah, and burned up the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. And all the people saw and shouted and fell on their faces.

The fire is never to go out on the Altar. Why?

We are told that Yehovah is a consuming fire as well as a Jealous God.

Exo 24:17  And the sight of the glory of Jehovah was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the sons of Israel.

Deu 4:23  Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which He made with you, and make you a graven image, a likeness of anything which Jehovah your God has forbidden you.

Deu 4:24  For Jehovah your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

Now, read and understand what Isaiah is telling us when He encountered Yehovah.

Isa 6:1  In the year that King Uzziah died I then saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.

Isa 6:2  Above it stood the seraphs; each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

Isa 6:3  And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of Hosts; the whole earth full of His glory.

Isa 6:4  And the doorposts moved at the voice of the one who cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

Isa 6:5  Then I said, Woe is me! For I am undone; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of Hosts.

Isa 6:6  Then one of the seraphs flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, snatched with tongs from the altar.

Isa 6:7  And he laid it on my mouth and said, Lo, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.

He was cleansed with a burning coal from the Altar.

You have already read about Ezekiel and the Shekinah in the article before this one, now let’s read some more for a better understanding.

Eze 1:4  And I looked, and behold, a windstorm came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire flashing itself, and a brightness to it all around, and out of its midst, like the color of polished bronze out of the middle of the fire.

Eze 1:5  Also out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was how they looked; they had the likeness of a man.

Eze 1:6  And four faces were to each, and four wings to each.

Eze 1:7  And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot. And they sparkled like the color of burnished copper.

Eze 1:8  And the hands of a man extended from under their wings on their four sides; and the four of them had their faces and their wings,

Eze 1:9  joining each one to the other by their wings. They did not turn in their going; each one went toward the front of their face.

Eze 1:10  And the likeness of their faces: the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side to the four of them; and the face of an ox on the left side to the four of them; and the face of an eagle to the four of them.

Eze 1:11  So their faces were. And their wings werestretched upward; to each, the two wings of each one were joined; and two wings covered their bodies.

Eze 1:12  And each went toward the front of their faces. To where the spirit was to go, there they went; they did not turn in their going.

Eze 1:13  And the likeness of the living creatures: they looked like burning coals of fire; like the appearance of torches. It was continually circling among the living creatures. And the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

Eze 1:14  And the living creatures kept running and returning, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.

Eze 1:15  And as I looked at the living creatures, behold, one wheel was on the earth by the living creatures, with its four faces.

Eze 1:16  The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was the color of beryl, and the four of them had one likeness. And their appearance and their workmanship was like a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

Eze 1:17  When they went, they went on their four sides; and they did not turn when they went.

Eze 1:18  And their rims: they were even high; they were even awesome. And their rims were full of eyes all around the four of them.

Eze 1:19  And in the going of the living creatures, the wheels went beside them; and in the lifting up of the living creatures from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

Eze 1:20  Wherever the spirit was to go, there they went; there the spirit was to go, and the wheels were lifted up along with them. For the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

Eze 1:21  In their going, these went; and in their standing still, these stood still. And in their lifting up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up along with them. For the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

Eze 1:22  And there was a likeness over the heads of the living creature; an expanse, like the color of awesome crystal stretched out over their heads from above.

Eze 1:23  And under the expanse their wings were straight, the one toward the other. Each one had two wings covering on this side, and to each two covering on that side of their bodies.

Eze 1:24  And I heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, in their going was the sound of tumult, like the sound of an army. In their standing still, they let down their wings.

Eze 1:25  And there was a voice from the expanse which was over their heads, in their standing still, and they let down their wings.

Eze 1:26  And from above the expanse that was over their heads was a likeness like a sapphire stone, the likeness of a throne. And on the likeness of the throne was a likeness looking like a man on it from above.

Eze 1:27  And I saw Him looking like the color of polished bronze, looking like fire all around within it. From the likeness of His loins even upward, and from the likeness of His loins even downward, I saw Him, looking like fire, and it had brightness all around.

Eze 1:28  As the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain looks, so the brightness all around looked. This was how the likeness of the glory of Jehovah looked. And I saw. And I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

Eze 10:1  And I looked, and behold! In the expanse over the head of the cherubs was seen the appearance of the form of a throne, like a sapphire stone, above them.

Eze 10:2  And He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubs, and scatter them on the city. And he went in before me.

Eze 10:3  And the cherubs were standing on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

Eze 10:4  And the glory of Jehovah rose from the cherub, over the threshold of the house. And the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Jehovah’s glory.

Eze 10:5  And the sound of the cherubs’ wings was heard over the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when He speaks.

Eze 10:6  And it happened when He had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubs; he went in then and stood beside the wheels.

Eze 10:7  And a cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubs to the fire between the cherubs, and he lifted it and put it into the hands of the one clothed with linen. And he took it and went out.

The Fire beneath the Shekinah are the coals from the Altar. The Altar was never to go out as it represented the burning fire of jealousy and Yehovah. When those coals are mixed with the incense, they are like our prayers rising before Yehovah.

Lev 16:12  And he shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Jehovah, and his hands full of fragrant perfumes beaten small, and bring it within the veil.

Lev 16:13  And he shall put the incense on the fire before Jehovah. And the cloud of the incense shall cover the mercy-seat that is on the Testimony. And he shall not die.

Psa 141:1  A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, I cry to You; make haste to me, give ear to my voice when I cry to You.

Psa 141:2  Let my prayer be set forth before You asincense, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Psa 141:3  Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

Golgotha is the Altar. Yehshua represented the Sin-offering described in Lev 16. The goat that was to be slain as a sin offering represented Yehovah. It was to burned on the Altar outside the camp. That, again is Golgotha. Yehshua was killed on the tree on Golgotha as our sin offering. The fire on that Altar was not to go out and it represented Yehovah as the Shekinah. Around the Altar are those four wheels carrying the throne of Yehovah whichever way He goes as Ezekiel described.

Understanding these symbols and how Yehovah uses them to teach us shows you how Holy this Mountain of Golgotha is. And now they are setting up an abomination on it.

I know many of you are not seeing it or disagree. So let us look up the meaning of the word wheel from Ezekiel. I will let you read what it says. Remember that Golgotha means place of the skull or mound. No interpretation needed.

The four wheels described by Ezekiel when he was looking at the shekinah, are the four sides of the Altar, the four views of the Mount of Golgotha. They are describing Golgotha as being round, and in the midst of it is the ever-burning fire of Yehovah, the Shekinah which Ezekiel saw move from the Temple to the Mountain across from Jerusalem, making it the most Holy Place on Earth. The very same place they are about to set up a statue to Mary the Queen of Heaven.

Golgotha

The Crucifixion Site of Jesus By: Ernest L Martin

Bible and Spade (Autumn 1992)

Since the publication of my book Secrets of Golgotha in the Spring of 1988, there has been a steady flow of new information which shows that the crucifixion of Jesus took place on the Mount of Olives. Some of the evidence has come from other scholars who have seen the fact that Jesus was executed somewhere near the summit of Olivet. A great deal has also been arrived at by further research of my own. What is emerging is real evidence that the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Garden Tomb located in Jerusalem are nowhere near the proper spot where the actual crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus took place. This fact has revolutionary consequences associated with it. This is because the Roman Catholic Church, the Greek Orthodox Church, the Armenian Orthodox churches for the past 1660 years have generally accepted the area associated with the Church of the Holy Sepulchre as the crucifixion site. Even classical historians have thought the site has most of the historical credentials to justify its acceptance by the scholarly world. But this new evidence shows that the Constantinian Church is thoroughly wrong. The Bible and history plainly establish that the Mount of Olives is the real place of the crucifixion.

Just over 118 years ago in the Palestine Exploration Quarterly (1873, 115; also 1870, 379–381) Dr. Hutchinson suggested that the crucifixion of Jesus must have taken place east of the Temple Mount — which placed it on the Mount of Olives. Until the publication of my book Secrets of Golgotha, that is the last scholarly indication I have found which suggests that the crucifixion happened on Olivet. Since AD 1873, the only candidates for the site have been the Church of the Holy Sepulchre which was built west of the second wall of Jerusalem or at the Garden Tomb region north and east of the Damascus Gate. But my book shows from the New Testament and early Jewish records that the southern summit of the Mount of Olives near the altar “without the sanctuary” where the Red Heifer was burnt to ashes (Ez 43:21) has far greater credentials for being the site.

Sacrifice of the Red Heifer:

The first point to notice is that the burning of the Red Heifer and Jesus’ crucifixion were symbolically connected in a precise way by Christians who lived during the period of Herod’s Temple. The author of the Book of Hebrews (about AD 61) stated that Jesus was a “sin offering” for the world and that His sin-atoning death epitomized the symbolic role of all the sin offerings sacrificed at the Temple (Heb 10:8–14). The major sin offerings were burnt to ashes at an altar region east of the Temple near the top of the Mount of Olives. Besides that, all of the ashes of the other sacrifices offered at the Altar of Burnt Offering in the Temple itself were deposited at the same altar east of the Temple on Olivet (Lv 4:12; 6:11). The author of Hebrews also connected the ashes of the Red Heifer (which were mixed with pure spring water) with the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus which occurred at the precise time of his crucifixion (Heb 9:13, 14). And particularly note this point. In the Letter of Barnabas (written by a person from Jerusalem about AD 90), the author stated that the Red Heifer in Christian circles was reckoned as Jesus. “The calf is Jesus: the sinful men offering it are those who led him to the slaughter” (8:2). Remarkably, very few Christian historians have asked: “Where was this Red Heifer altar?”

As explained in my book Secrets of Golgotha, the early Jewish records found in the Mishnah plainly state that the Red Heifer altar was located directly east of the Temple that existed in Jesus’ time and that it was just shy of the summit of the Mount of Olives (Middoth 1:3; 2:4; Yoma 7:2; along with the Talmud in Yoma 68a and Zebahim 105b). And here we find the author of the Letter of Barnabas directly stating that “the calf [heifer] is Jesus” and that “the sinful men offering it are those who led him [Jesus] to the slaughter” (8:2). It is well known in Jewish circles that the priests did indeed lead the heifer from the Temple on Mount Moriah eastward across a double-tiered arched bridge (called the Bridge of the Red Heifer) to an altar just outside the camp near the summit of Olivet. This is where they sacrificed and burnt to ashes the Red Heifer. This first century identification of Jesus with the Red Heifer is clear proof that early Jewish Christians connected the sacrifice of the heifer on the summit of Olivet with the death of Jesus which took place in the same vicinity But no sacrifices of the Temple were ever connected with the western area of the “Holy Sepulchre.”

Geographical Features:

While we moderns have wondered if we should use geographical features associated with the sin offerings as having literal geographical relationships to actual events in the life of Jesus, such usages were commonly applied by Biblical writers. Matthew symbolically associated a prophecy about Israel coming out of Egypt with Jesus and his stay in Egypt. While “Israel” of the prophecy could only symbolically refer to Jesus, Jesus still had to have been literally in Egypt for the symbol to be applied in any sensible way. Also, the symbolic teaching of Rachel weeping in Ramah could only be applied to those in Bethlehem because that is where Rachel’s cenotaph was located. Also, Isaiah’s reference to the lands of Zebulun and Naphtali could only apply to Jesus because these lands were in Galilee where Jesus taught. Thus, the geography associated with the symbols must be literal even if the symbols are not.

As an example, note a further geographical reference in the book of Hebrews associating the sin offerings of the Temple with the crucifixion of Jesus. The author stated that Jesus carried His reproach (the cross-piece for His crucifixion) to an altar located “outside the gate,” even “outside the camp” (Heb 13:10–14). There was the literal altar on Olivet that matches the author’s illustration. Indeed, in this case the author used the Tabernacle of Moses as his standard of reference (the Jewish authorities did the same thing in the Mishnah about a century later). It is important to note that the Tabernacle only had eastern gates. By using the Tabernacle as a standard, this points to the “gate” through which Jesus went to His crucifixion as being the east gate in the outer wall surrounding the Temple. Interestingly, this eastern gate was the same gate through which the major sin offering and the Red Heifer were taken to Olivet. The roadway through the eastern gate was designed specifically by the Jewish authorities to lead directly to the altar “outside the camp” where the Red Heifer was burnt to ashes. Early Jewish Christians were keenly aware of these ritualistic connections of the sin offerings with the death of Jesus. Geographically, these historical and Biblical texts about His crucifixion direct us to Olivet.

Furthermore, this Red Heifer altar was located just “outside the camp” which was at least 2000 cubits east of the Hall of the Sanhedrin then situated at the Chamber of Hewn Stones in the Temple, located on the left side of the Altar of Burnt Offering (Middoth 5:4; Sanhedrin 11:2; Yoma 25a). Indeed, just before Jesus was crucified, He was actually condemned to be executed while He stood before the Sanhedrin in the Chamber of Hewn Stones on the Temple Mount (see Shabbath 15a and Rosh ha-Shanah 31a, b). Since it was then the Passover season, the chief priest (the president of the Sanhedrin who was Caiaphas) and his deputy (Annas, the Sagan) were required to be resident in their quarters within the precincts of the Temple. They were then living in their official “houses” which were located in the Temple compound itself (Middoth 5:4; Encyclopaedia Judaica III.991). This is when the top priestly authorities left their own private houses (no doubt located on the aristocratic southwest hill of Jerusalem) and they took up residence within the Temple itself.

There were special times in the Jewish ecclesiastical year when residence within the Temple was essential for the High Priest and his deputy. For the seven days prior to offering the Red Heifer, the High Priest had to stay in his Temple “house” called the “House of Stone” (Parah 3:1). For the seven days prior to the Day of Atonement the High Priest had to reside within his “house” on the Temple Mount (Yoma 1:1). Though Josephus did not mention the Temple residency of the priests, he did state that such attendance at the Temple was a requirement for weekly Sabbaths, new moons and annual festivals (War V.230). Since Jesus was judged by the Jewish authorities at the Passover season, Caiaphas and Annas were not at their private homes during Jesus’ interrogation. Jesus was judged by the chief priests and condemned by the Sanhedrin while all parties were within the Temple enclosure. From the Christian point of view, this meant that Jesus was judged to die in His own Father’s House. He was sentenced to die “in the presence of God” who symbolically dwelt in the Holy of Holies.

After his judgment by the Sanhedrin on the Temple Mount, Jesus was then taken a short distance to the northwest part of the Temple courtyard where there was a stairway that led to Fort Antonia where Pilate was amongst his troops. Being at Antonia during Passover provided Pilate with a personal command over his resident army in order to properly control the festival crowds in Jerusalem, and especially those within the Temple precincts. After interrogating Jesus, Pilate washed his hands of the matter. Jesus was then led out of Fort Antonia and through the east gate of the Temple (which was also the east gate of Jerusalem) and taken over the two-tiered arched bridge of the Kidron Valley to the summit of Olivet near where the Red Heifer was sacrificed — a prominent area in Jerusalem.

The Area of Judgment:

This eastern area where Jesus was executed was famous for another reason. Jesus was actually crucified in the official area of Jerusalem that was designed for the execution of criminals and in the region that the Jewish authorities believed was the symbolic place where the whole world would one day be judged by God. This was the area directly east of the Temple but located “outside the camp” of Israel (Nm 15:35). The limits of the camp were determined in the time of Jesus to be a radius of 2000 cubits (near 3000 ft) from the Court of the Sanhedrin in the Temple (Rosh ha-Shanah 2:5, see also Sanhedrin 1:5 and Shebuoth 2:2 for the authority of the Jewish Supreme Court to set the limits of the camp). This factor alone disqualifies the present sites of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Garden Tomb from being the place of Jesus’ crucifixion (even though outside the walls) because both sites were within the official region of the “camp.”

The authorized place of execution for criminals in the time of Jesus had to be at least 2000 cubits from the Court of the Sanhedrin on the Temple Mount, but it had to be in a place where the condemned could see the entrances to the Temple located in a westward direction. The Biblical examples for judicial sentencing of people for their criminal acts in the time of Moses show they took place on the east side of the Sanctuary. Women accused of adultery were brought for judgment “before the Lord”, that is, to the east entrance of the Sanctuary (Nm 5:16–31). The two sons of Aaron were judged “before the Lord” on the east side of the Sanctuary (Lv 10:1–7). Korah and his Levites were also punished east of the Tabernacle (Nm 16:41–50).

It was important for official judgments to be rendered and executed east of the Temple. This allowed the judgments to be made “in the presence of God,” who figuratively faced east from his Sanctuary. Because of this, both the Sanhedrin and the lesser courts at Jerusalem in the time of Jesus were located in the Temple to the east of the Holy Place (Cohen 1949:299). It was reckoned that while God was symbolically sitting in the Holy of Holies, he could watch the proceedings going on in the law courts. God supposedly faced east while sitting on his Temple throne. Thus God in a figurative way had a panoramic view of all the ritualistic and judicial duties of his people which were being conducted east of the Sanctuary. This allowed all ceremonies (both religious and secular) to be done “in the presence of God.” It is remarkable that many textbooks written by Christian theologians fail to mention the importance of this eastern area in this regard nor do they show the location of the altar “without the Sanctuary” (Ez 43:21) where the Red Heifer was sacrificed and where the Day of Atonement sin offerings were burnt.

This eastern location was also significant in judicial matters involving capital crimes. Moses demanded that the place of executions had to be “outside the camp” (Nm 15:35, 36). All ritual sacrifices were offered east of the Sanctuary and in full view of God who figuratively dwelt in the Holy of Holies, and the prime sin offerings were burnt “outside the camp” at the summit of Olivet. And in Jewish practice, heinous criminals were required to be their own “sin offerings” in paying for their sins (without having the benefit of an animal sacrifice as a substitute) (Cohen 1949:185, n. 1).

Since the major sin offerings were sacrificed near the summit of the Mount of Olives, this is why criminals were “sacrificed” as being their own sin offerings in the same vicinity. This is precisely the area where the later Jerusalem church believed Stephen was officially executed by the Sanhedrin (Wilkinson 1981:185, n. 1). This was known by the Jews as “the Place of Stoning” (Sanhedrin 6:1, 2, 3, 4). It was just “outside the camp” but in full view of the eastern entrances of the Temple. The Temple curtain in front of the Holy Place could easily be seen from this prospect and the New Testament shows that when the Temple curtain tore in two at the moment of Jesus’ death that the centurion and the others around the crucifixion site viewed that phenomenon taking place (see especially Lk 23:44–47and Mt 27:54). From outside the walls of Jerusalem the curtain could only be seen from an elevated site east of the Temple. The area of the “Holy Sepulchre” is disqualified because from there only the back parts of the Temple could be seen. Besides, Josephus shows that the site of the “Holy Sepulchre” was the spot of the Tomb of John Hyrcanus (a respected Jewish king of the Hasmonians) and such a shrine would never have been selected by the Jewish authorities as a place to execute criminals. But the summit of Olivet is different. Everything fits perfectly.

Golgotha—Mount of the Skull:

The Bordeaux Pilgrim in AD 333 said that at the southern summit of Olivet there was a small knoll or hillock (called in Latin a monticulus). In the time of David this region was known as the rosh (that is, “the head”) (2 Sm 15:30) and remarkably the Hebrew word “Golgotha” also means “head” or “skull.” Such a usage shows that “Golgotha” (or the rosh) was a well-known place at the summit of Olivet.

Golgotha was even reckoned among the Jews as being on a mountain. Professor James Tabor in his review of my research in Secrets of Golgotha (1991:213–215) gives new information to sustain my thesis for Olivet: An interesting support of Martin’s thesis, which he does not note, is that the Hebrew text of Matthew known as Even Bohan refers to the place of crucifixion as Mount (har) of the Skull (see G. Howard, The Gospel of Matthew according to a Primitive Hebrew Text [Macon, GA: Mercer University Press, 1988]).

For Golgotha to have been reckoned as a mountain (har) in the Jerusalem area gives the Mount of Olives considerable credentials as being the place of Jesus’ crucifixion. Dr. Tabor, of the University of North Carolina, concludes his favorable review of my research by stating: All in all Martin’s work is valuable, fascinating, and certainly pioneering. His hypothesis deserves attention from historians, New Testament scholars, and archaeologists.

There are numerous historical reasons for selecting Olivet as the place of Jesus’ crucifixion. In the recently translated Temple Scroll, Yadin pointed out that all people bearing religious defilements which prevented them from entering the holy city or the Temple were directed to stay east of the ideal Sanctuary region mentioned in the scroll (1985:177). Evil and defiled people (sinners) were kept east of Jerusalem in order to prevent any “winds of evil” from flowing over the holy city from the west. This is one of the reasons the sin offering of the Red Heifer and those of the Day of Atonement (which were to atone for sins) were burnt to ashes in this eastern area “outside the camp” (Lv 4:21; 16:27). Yadin suggested that a part of this eastern region which had been put aside for defiled persons was even referred to in the New Testament (e.g., Mk 14:3).

Since all sin offerings were sacrificed (or “executed”) east of the Holy Place of the Temple, and the most important ones were sacrificed further east at the Red Heifer altar on Olivet, this easterly region of the Temple became known as the place where God dealt with sin — where all the sins of the world will be judged. This is one reason why the Kidron Valley separating the Temple from the Mount of Olives became known as the Valley of Jehoshaphat (the valley where “God Judges”). Even to this day Jews, Muslims and Christians consider the summit and western slope of Olivet as the ordained place where God will judge all people in the world for their sins. Charles Warren in Hasting’s Dictionary of the Bible listed over 14 Christian authorities (from the Bordeaux Pilgrim onward) who attested to this belief (II.562). This is why it was important, from the Christian point of view, that Jesus died in this eastern region which was reckoned the judgment place for all mankind. For Jesus to be judged as dying for the sins of all mankind, Christians thought that He had to be judged in the place where all mankind were designed to be judged for their sins.

Muslim Beliefs:

Even Muslims (who inherited many traditional beliefs from the Jews and Christians) firmly believe that the summit and the western slope of the Mount of Olives is the judgment area for mankind. The Encyclopaedia Judaica has an interesting excerpt about this: All the dead will congregate on the Mount of Olives and the angel Gabriel will move paradise to the right of Allah’s throne and hell to its left. All mankind will cross a long bridge suspended from the Mount of Olives to the Temple Mount, which will be narrower than a hair, sharper than a sword, and darker than night. Along this bridge there will be seven arches and at each arch man will be asked to account for his actions (IX col. 1576).

This is the Muslim account. It is easy to see that this traditional Muslim belief is based on the geography of the Temple and the Red Heifer arched bridge over the Kidron Valley that existed in Jesus’ time. Indeed, the Hebrew word for the altar where the Red Heifer was burnt to ashes is miphkad (see Ez 43:21). This word means “muster” or the place where people “congregate” or “gather together.” And in traditional teaching, it was at or near this site on Olivet where all mankind would “congregate” to be judged. This teaching can be seen in the New Testament itself. When the Son of Man returns with all His angels, He shall sit on His glorious throne and He will then “gather together” before Him for judgment all the nations of the world. Those selected to be on His right hand will go into the Kingdom of God while those on His left will go into the fire of perdition (Mt 25:31–46). The geographical features of this teaching of Jesus (from the Jewish point of view in the first century) shows Jesus sitting on His glorious throne (which was in the Sanctuary of the Temple) and all the nations were then depicted as gathering together before Him at the summit and on the western slope of the Mount of Olives to face Him for judgment. This allowed them to be judged “in the presence of Jesus.” The Book of Revelation also spoke of the wicked being tormented in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb (Rv 14:10). To be judged “in the presence of God” while He sits on His throne locates these individuals at the summit or on the western slope of the Mount of Olives. Again, this is why, even to Christians, the region of the Kidron Valley became known as the Valley of Jehoshaphat — the place for God’s judgment.

Conversely, the present Church of the Holy Sepulchre as well as the Garden Tomb are located west and north of the Temple. These sites were in no way areas of judgment, as was Olivet and its western slopes. These sites are further disqualified, though they were outside the western and northern walls of Jerusalem, because they were still located within the 2000 cubit zone of the “camp of Israel” as measured from the Sanhedrin located in the Temple.

The Testimony of Eusebius:

In conclusion, Christians in Jerusalem as late as the early fourth century knew that Jesus was crucified and buried on the Mount of Olives. In fact, Eusebius (the first Christian historian) stated that the only area to which pre-Constantinian Christians paid any attention in the environs of Jerusalem was the Mount of Olives, and specifically to a cave near its summit (Proof of the Gospel, VI.18). The Acts of John also mentioned the importance of this cave 100 years before Eusebius (Charlesworth I.301). In another work (The Acts of Pilate), we find that it was described as both a cave and as a tomb in the same context (bk.XII,XIII). Even the tomb of Lazarus had been a cave before it was a tomb (Jn 11:38).

When one views the evidence carefully, it can be seen that pre-Constantinian

Christians reckoned this cave on Olivet to be the ruins of the tomb of Jesus. Prior to Constantine, there is no evidence (either orthodox or heretical) that the later site of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the western part of Jerusalem was in any way significant to Christians nor was the southwest hill important that came to be called “Sion” after the time of Constantine. Indeed, when Eusebius first heard in AD 326 that Constantine and his mother were selecting a Venus Shrine as the site of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, he stated that such was “contrary to all expectation” (Life of Constantine III.28). At the dedication of the “Holy Sepulchre” in AD 335, Eusebius requested Constantine to inform the assembled bishops his reasons for building that church. The reasons were “SECRET to us [Eusebius and the bishops], but known TO YOU ALONE…which caused YOU to RAISE UP this sacred edifice (Oration of Eusebius, XVIII, emphasis mine). There were no historical documents or traditions which were retained by Christians at Jerusalem to support its legitimacy. It was selected because of the dreams, visions and supposed miraculous signs associated with Constantine and his advisors. The early church historian Sozomen felt that historical records were not necessary when visions and dreams presented the “real facts” to the Christian world (History II.1).

Eusebius showed in his works written before AD 326 that Jesus was actually crucified on what he called the symbolic “Mount Sion” for Christians. Three times in his Proof of the Gospel (I.4; VI.13; IX.14) he identified the Christian “Mount Sion” as being where Jesus spent most of His time when He was in the area of Jerusalem and that spot was on the Mount of Olives (Mk 11:1; Lk 21:37; 22:39; Jn 18:2). Eusebius also said the shekinah left Mount Moriah and went eastward to abide on this Christian “Mount Sion” that was located “adjacent to” or “opposite” Jerusalem and the Temple Mount — an apt geographical description of the Mount of Olives (Proof of the Gospel, I.4; VI.18). To Eusebius, Olivet was where the New Covenant began when the Temple veil tore in two (VIII.2). Eusebius even stated that the Christian church was founded on Olivet (VI.18) and Jerome reiterated the same belief (Letter CVIII.12). And in his commentary on Isaiah (written before AD 326), Eusebius made the plain statement that this new “Mount Sion” (Olivet) was actually the site of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus (Is 2:1–4; see Walker, Holy City, Holy Places?, pp.302,305). This makes the top of Olivet to be Calvary.

Ron Wyatt Testimony of the Ark

Ron Wyatts claim to have found the Ark of the Covenant has been met with some strong denials. Let me share a couple with you now.

The Garden Tomb Association of Jerusalem state in a letter they issue to visitors on request:

The Council of the Garden Tomb Association (London) totally refutes the claim of Wyatt to have discovered the original Ark of the Covenant or any other biblical artifacts within the boundaries of the area known as the Garden Tomb Jerusalem. Though Wyatt was allowed to dig within this privately owned garden on a number of occasions (the last occasion being the summer of 1991) staff members of the Association observed his progress and entered his excavated shaft. As far as we are aware nothing was ever discovered to support his claims nor have we seen any evidence of biblical artifacts or temple treasures.[3]
Archaeologist Joe Zias of Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) has stated that “Ron Wyatt is neither an archaeologist nor has he ever carried out a legally licensed excavation in Israel or Jerusalem. In order to excavate one must have at least a BA in archaeology which he does not possess despite his claims to the contrary. … [His claims] fall into the category of trash which one finds in tabloids such as the National Enquirer, Sun etc.”[4]

Wyatt’s official organization, Wyatt Archaeological Research (WAR), claims that the IAA has always been aware of the excavations and issued “verbal permits” for most of them and official permits to all WAR excavations since 2002.[citation needed] Nevertheless, the only evidence of WAR involvement in a legitimate excavation sanctioned by the IAA relates to WAR part-funding of a 2005 dig.[5]

Some Evangelicals have also been critical of Wyatt’s claims: Answers in Genesis called Wyatt’s claims “fraudulent”,[6] and David Merling, a Seventh-day Adventist professor of archaeology addressed the issues of Wyatt’s Noah’s Ark and anchor stones with the following:

While the Durupinar site is about the right length for Noah’s ark, [it is]… too wide to be Noah’s ark. Wyatt has claimed that the “boat-shapedness” of this formation can only be explained by its being Noah’s ark, but both Shea and Morris have offered other plausible explanations. Likewise, Wyatt has argued that the standing stones he has found are anchors, while Terian is aware of similar stones outside the Durupinar site area that were pagan cultic stones later converted by Christians for Christian purposes.[7]

The Ark of the Covenant—could it even be found?

The Wyatt/Gray ‘track record’ of false claims on other subjects (see main text) makes it easy to dismiss these current claimants to finding the Ark of the Covenant, along with all their ‘reasons’ as to why no one is conveniently allowed to access any hard evidence.

The Ark was probably lost or destroyed when the Babylonians sacked Jerusalem in 587 B.C. and destroyed the temple. If Jews had hidden it, the Ark would surely have been used in the Second Temple, which Josephus says it wasn’t (Jewish Wars 5:219).

An additional reason for skepticism, which would apply to any future such claims by others, relates to God’s dealings in fulfilling the Old Covenant system via the New Covenant in Christ. God forcefully demonstrated this with the destruction of the Jerusalem temple in AD 70, predicted by Christ four decades earlier (Matthew 24). There were to be no more animal sacrifices once His designated ‘Passover Lamb,’ the Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:29, Rev. 13:8), had been slain ‘once for all’ (Hebrews 10:10).

Jeremiah 3:16 strongly suggests that there is to be no reappearance of the Ark of the Covenant, either: ‘And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.’

Eyewitness Testimony About a Video Shot in
the Ark of the Covenant Cave

Personal Testimony by Ian Thain

 

This may be an appropriate time to mention publicly that I and several other Christians have watched with our own eyes a video which Ron shot
inside the cave before the furniture was re-arranged. The crack in the roof was clearly visible with the Blood still on it; the table was there
in close-up, and many piles of skins. The Ark was there, but was covered by a brilliant white light which hid it from the camera as Ron panned
around the cave.

To the best of my knowledge there is only one copy of it in existence, Ron’s original, and it’s not in America now. It’s in a safe place of the Lord’s own choosing to which I once took Aaron Sen, who has met the keeper but has not viewed the tape.

I was an eye-witness of Ron’s tape of the inside of the cave. I wasn’t with him when he shot it, but I saw the tape not very long afterwards.  Ron himself was keen that the tape should be seen widely. Events turned out otherwise however. But for what it’s worth I’m happy to answer any questions I can about the tape, and what I saw on it. I last viewed it some years ago and my visual memory is not great (I’m far better with words). However by the same token my visual imagination is pretty bad too, which is probably a good thing for this purpose.

My sole purpose in mentioning it here was to help strengthen the faith of some here whose confidence in Ron’s word may have been shaken by doubts.

> 1. How long is the video tape?

The section shot inside the cave was part of a longer tape, most of which contained other less dramatic stuff. I’d say there were several minutes’
of material shot inside the cave.

> 2. What quality is it? Shaky? Steady? On a tripod? In color?

Steady and in color. From what I can recall I’d say it was almost certainly shot using a tripod and a single camera light, which Ron moved
about in between shots from one part of the cave to another so as to get pictures of the contents from different angles.

> What type of lighting used? Good quality or poor? Grainy footage or clear?

Single light fixed to the camera. As Ron panned round the cave the light moved with the camera; off-centre the edges of the frame were quite dark.
The tape was free from grain, but the colour balance was not great. I suppose it was NTSC (which in the days when I was a videotape engineer we
used to say stood for ‘Never The Same Colour twice’). 🙂

> 3. Did you see any angels on the tape?

No.

> 4. Was there a time stamp on the tape itself that was displayed on the screen?

Not that I recall, there wasn’t.

> 5. How long ago did you see it?

Pass. That information might assist those who want to find the tape.

> 6. Have you ever talked to Ron about the tape? If so what did he say.

I never talked to him specifically about the tape. I did ask him questions about the Ark, about the tables of stone, and about the book of the law. I
assumed at the time that everybody who knew anything of Ron’s work had seen this tape along with all his other material. It was only when Bill
Fry intercepted a post of mine to this list that I realized that this was not so. Even Bill hadn’t seen it.

> 7. The person(s) who have the tape are they waiting for the right time to release it? Did Ron give it to him/her/them or what’s the reason for them holding it back.

Same answer as that to question 5 I’m afraid. Sorry.

> 8. From your perspective is this the tape where Ron took out the tables of stone? Was this before or after that event if it’s not the same footage.

No. It’s an earlier tape. Neither Ron nor the tables appeared on the tape I saw.

> 9. How many people were with you when you viewed it and where did this occur? Australia?

Only one person viewed it simultaneously with me, but several others had seen it just a few days previously. One has since gone to be with the
Lord, but the others are still alive. The country name is under wraps, as per Q5.

> 10. Does Ron say anything on the tape? If so what does he say?

No. Ron was the cameraman, but he didn’t appear in front of the camera, and I don’t recall his giving any verbal commentary on the sequence inside
the cave.

> 11. What does the Table of Showbread look like?

To be honest it looked dark bronze, but I suppose that was the effect of the camera light which probably had a predominantly blue spectrum. The
table was rectangular and had a raised decorative border a few inches high running all around the top, with what I took to be cast pomegranates at
regular intervals. The cave sequence opened with a close-up shot of one corner of the table, showing some fine workmanship in its making.

> 12. Did you see the 7 branch candlestick and if so what did it look like?

No. I was consciously looking for it, but I didn’t see it. (Everybody asks this question! It’s the most popular question after the Ark itself).

> 13. You said you saw the skins piled up in a corner?

They weren’t piled in a corner; they were heaped everywhere, all over the floor and everything else. Lots of them.

> What conditions were they in?

I don’t recall any close-ups of the coverings, but the general impression was one of grey dustiness. They were folded up as you would fold a lot of
blankets, and some were obviously covering large objects underneath. The menorah may have been on its side under them.

> 14. Did you see any other object in the cave and if so what were they?

At the time I thought that this tape was going on general release and that I’d be getting a copy sometime, so I didn’t make any mental notes.

But I do remember seeing the stone box in which the Ark had been stored, with its lid moved to one side. I have a feeling that Goliath’s sword was
there, but I have no particular mental image of it; just that we discussed it between ourselves, and the reason for our discussing it was probably
that it was in there. Of course the dominant feature was the Ark itself, and the fact that it was hidden by a brilliant white light. As Ron panned
the camera around, a circle of light moved across the field of view until it filled the whole screen, then it moved off again at the other edge.
Ron’s verbal account of this was that the effect was only on the tape; no such light was visible to him inside the cave where he saw the Ark
plainly. It was only when he viewed the tape afterwards that he saw that the light had covered the Ark for the purpose of the recording.

The other notable feature was the crack in the roof of the cave with the dark stain of blood on one side of it, about the size of one’s hand I
should think. (The roof was not high; a man would probably have had to stoop to avoid hitting his head). Seeing the blood there was the most
moving thing to me.

I think if the Lord had wanted somebody to give a detailed account of the tape He would have chosen somebody other than me to see it! My powers of
visual observation and retention are famously bad. My principal contribution to this debate is simply that I can testify to having seen that tape, that it showed exactly what Ron said it did, and that I was awed at what I saw. I think we all were.

1. Did the table of showbread have just one shelf (top one) or any below it too? 

I only remember seeing the top surface, and not much below it. I think it was perhaps partially covered by skins, but it was quite a while ago and
as I mentioned earlier my visual memory is really terrible.

> 2. How close to the ceiling was the ark of the covenant stone case?

Very close. I remember being rather surprised at how low the roof was. I can’t give you any meaningful estimate of the exact distance – I’d have to
view the tape again to do that – but my memory is that it was about enough to crawl into and not much more.

> 3. Was the chamber cleared out? Like was Ron shooting the video from the floor of the chamber or was he standing on stones or what? You
> said he was close to the ceiling any thoughts on how close?

The chamber was certainly not cleared out. In fact apart from things like the lid of the stone box, it looked as though nobody had been in there for
centuries. As I suppose they hadn’t. The place looked like a lumber room, with things everywhere all over the floor, and of course all those heaps
of skins, so that you would have to clamber over one thing to look at the next. Ron was about my height (6ft) and I reckon I’d have had to stoop in
there, but I think the camera was a foot or more so below head height.

> 4. Was the stone case that held the ark in the middle of the chamber or up against one of the sides?

From the opening shot it was on the right hand side at the back, if the camera was central that is. But what with there being so many objects in
there, only those in front of the camera being illuminated, and the light in front of the Ark dis-orienting things a bit, I couldn’t swear to it.
However my memory is certainly that it wasn’t in the center of the cave; I think it was close to a wall at the back.

> 5. Did you see any openings into the chamber or the shape of the chamber?

No. Because of the limited lighting that wasn’t possible.

> 6. Did it look like Hi-8 video or something older?

Actually it didn’t look too bad, all things considered. It was a difficult situation for an amateur shoot. I was never into amateur video (I worked with B&W 1-inch tape on 12-inch reels) so I couldn’t guess which system it was. The picture quality seemed rather better than some of Ron’s other stuff though, so maybe he had taken particular care to get hold of a good camera.

>  7.  Does the keeper of the video still have the tape?

I guess he certainly could, but ….. amazing as it sounds to us here, he has forgotten the cave sequence completely, as Aaron Sen and I discovered
when we called upon him for the express purpose of having a look at it – in Aaron’s case for the first time. Now in the context of our uneventful little lives, that sounds hard to believe; that anybody to whom these things mean so much could actually forget such a unique thing in his possession! This man is a Spirit-filled believer in the Lord, and is deeply appreciative of the significance of these matters. He supported Ron and contributed significantly to Ron’s work, so he isn’t ignorant. But he is a man to whom strange, and sometimes dangerous, things just happen. The same was true of his father, so it runs in the family. I have sometimes said that, if and when World War Three breaks out, it will be six feet away from where this man happens to be standing at that moment; a bit like being the guy who happened to be standing next to Crown Prince Ferdinand when he was shot in 1914. This man has about a dozen of Ron’s tapes, but he has not sat down and catalogued them, and to do so would necessarily take up a fair bit of time. His wife too is the CEO of a multi-million $ business. I hope I have given you something of the picture. People like this do not sit about in the evenings flicking through the TV channels. They live very full, and
sometimes dangerous, lives.

But for all that, it would be hard to think of a more suitable man to be keeper of something like this. He is completely fearless; and he is very well aware of what is going on in the world behind the scenes. His friends and contacts are too.

Web host Comments:

Some may be skeptical of Ian’s testimony, but the very fact that he would bring someone to the keeper’s home to see the video is evidence that he is telling us the truth. Aaron said the keeper of the tape has forgotten other things also, so one could expect him to have also forgotten about the video.

Just the fact that Ron was building a second tunnel for the ark is evidence he was telling the truth, (for if you are a liar, you only need one tunnel and don’t need to spend $100,000.00 on a second tunnel), so it is true that by Ian bringing Aaron is evidence he was revisiting the video to see it again and is telling us the truth here today.

THE FOUR ANGELS
AND
THE ARK OF GOD

And Its Supernatural HappeningsPrepared by Devon Grey

From the time of ancient Israel the Ark of the Covenant, the focal point of  Israel’s sojourn in the wilderness, was where God’s throne on earth was, where His Holy Spirit the Shekinah abode on the mercy seat.Many accounts in the Bible tell of supernatural events connected with it until it was hidden in a cave by Jeremiah at the time of the Babylonian captivity.  Now in our day, under the leading of God’s Spirit, the Lord leading Ron Wyatt to its discovery has shown again through supernatural events and experiences the sacred nature of the Ark, for the sake of edifying and confirming His continued presence.This study will take the reader through all of the known events past and present connected with the Ark and its contents, for its contents (the 10 Commandment Tables of Stone) was the focus of God’s interest in the Ark, and His protecting care over it throughout its history.  But of equal importance to the Heavenly Father, since His Son Jesus was crucified, is Jesus’ spilt and now dried blood resting on the mercy seat.  These things make the resting place of the Ark the most important and precious spot in all of God’s universe.  This we know because it was revealed to Ron by the Lord that the chamber where the ark rests is considered His earthly temple, the Most Holy Place, where His Holy Spirit resides.  This, the most precious place in the universe, is the only physical evidence ever that today testifies of God’s gift of His Son to save mankind.  This blood is the only physical witness today of what happened 2000 years ago when Jesus died.  Up until 1990, when Ron was led to this most important find ever, no one had even a clue where the Ark was hidden for over 2500 years, much less that Jesus’ blood actually fell on the mercy seat of the Ark.This study will give the hard evidence for this most amazing discovery of all time, and the physical supernatural manifestations of this as proof of who has orchestrated this discovery. It should be obvious to all the utter impossibility that this find could have been arranged by any man or group of men without God’s direct intervention, leading, and guiding Ron.What Ron experienced on His fourth trip into the chamber has recently been written up as prima facie evidence, and will soon be a witness to the world as God moves to bring this information out into the light.
ASSOCIATED ARK MIRACLES OF THE PAST:There are 4 angels that were assigned by God to protect and keep the Ark and the “Tables of Stone,” contained therein.  Little did anyone dream that over 2500 years later these angels would make their presence known again to Ron Wyatt on his fourth visit to the chamber where the Ark is hidden.This whole story and miraculous chain of events is the most precious and exciting revelation by God in modern times. This series of discoveries revealed to Ron Wyatt starting in the 1970’s, has to be one of the strongest evidences that last day events are upon us and that we must be at the end of time.The following extract gives a good history of the Ark and the series of miraculous events associated with it.  Significant to the reader is the mention of four angels who were assigned to go with the ark and remain with it.  These angels were responsible for the miraculous events which happened during its history and connected with the Israelites.  This was taken from the Book Spirit of Prophecy, vol. 1, pages 398-414, in a chapter entitled The Ark of God.

THE ARK OF GOD
 

The ark of God was a sacred chest, made to be the depository of the ten commandments, which law was the representative of God himself.  This ark was considered the glory and strength of Israel.  The token of the Divine presence abode upon it day and night.  The priests who ministered before it were sacredly consecrated to the holy office.  They wore a breast-plate bordered with precious stones of different materials, the same that compose the twelve foundations of the city of God. Within the borders were the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, graven on precious stones set in gold. This was a very rich and beautiful work, suspended from the shoulders of the priests, covering the breast.At the right and left of the breast-plate were set two larger stones, which shone with great brilliancy.  When difficult matters were brought to the judges, which they could-not decide, they were referred to the priests, and they inquired of God who answered them.  If he favored, and if he would grant them success, a halo of light and glory especially rested upon the precious stone at the right.  If he disapproved, a vapor or cloud seemed to settle upon the precious stone at the left hand.  When they inquired of God in regard to going to battle, the precious stone at the right, when circled with light, said, Go, and prosper. The stone at the left, when shadowed with a cloud, said, Thou shalt not go; thou shalt not prosper.When the high priest entered within the most holy, once a years; and ministered before the ark in the awful presence of God, he inquired, and God often answered him with an audible voice.  When the Lord did not answer by a voice, he let the sacred beams of light and glory rest upon the cherubim upon the right of the ark, in approbation, or favor.  If their requests were refused a cloud rested upon the cherubim at the left.

THE FOUR ANGELS

Four heavenly angels always accompanied the ark of God in all its journeys, to guard it from all danger; and to fulfill any mission required of them to connection with the ark.AT THE JORDAN:Jesus the Son of God, followed by heavenly angels went before the ark as it came to Jordan; and the waters were cut off before his presence.  Christ and angels stood by the ark and the priests in the bed of the river, until all Israel had passed over Jordan.  Christ and angels attended the circuit of the ark around Jericho, and finally cast down the massive walls of the city, and delivered Jericho into the hands of Israel.
 IN THE LAND OF THE PHILISTINES:God permitted his ark to be taken by their enemies, to show Israel how vain it was to trust in the ark, the symbol of his presence, while they were profaning the commandments contained in the ark. God would humble them by removing from them that sacred ark, their boasted strength and confidence.The Philistines were triumphant, because they had, as they thought, the famous god of the Israelites, which had performed such wonders for them and had made them a terror to their enemies.  They took the ark of God to Ashdod, and set it in a splendid temple, made in honor of their most popular god, Dagon, and placed it by the side of their god.  In the morning, the priests of these gods entered the temple, and they were terrified to find Dagon fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord.  They raised Dagon and placed him in his former position.  They thought he might have accidentally fallen.  But the next morning they found him fallen as before upon his face to the ground, and the head of Dagon and both his hands were cut off.  THE (4) ANGELS OF GOD WHO ACCOMPANIED THE ARK, prostrated the senseless idol god, and afterward mutilated it, to show that God, the living God, was above all gods, and that before him every heathen god was as nothing.The men of Ashdod began to be greatly afflicted.  The Lord destroyed them; and they remembered the plagues brought upon Egypt, and their mutilated god, and were convinced that it was because they kept the ark of God, that these distressing afflictions came upon them.  God would evidence to the idolatrous Philistines, and also to his people, that the ark was strength and power to those who were obedient to his law; and that to the disobedient and wicked it was punishment and death.  When the men of Ashdod became convinced that it was the God of the Hebrews who caused their afflictions, because of his ark, they decided that the ark of the God of Israel should not abide with them.  For, said they, “his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon, our god.”   The great men and rulers consulted together, relative to what they should do with the ark of the God of Israel.  They had taken it in triumph, but knew not what to do with the sacred chest; for instead of its being a power and strength to them, it was a great burden and a heavy curse.  They decided to send it to Gath.  But THE DESTROYING ANGELS carried on their work of destruction in that place also.  Very many of the people of Gath died; and they dared not retain the ark longer there, lest the God of Israel should consume them all by his curse.They of Gath decided to send the ark to Ekron. The Ekronites were also afflicted, and great numbers of them died. They went to their gods for help, as the cities of Ashdod and Gath had done, but they obtained no relief. They then humbled themselves to cry to the God of Israel, to whom the ark belonged for relief from their affliction. So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, “Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people; for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.  And the men that died not, were smitten with the emerods; and the cry of the city went up to Heaven.”  It was borne from place to place in terror, and destruction from God followed its course, until the Philistines were greatly perplexed to know what to do with it.  ANGELS WHO ACCOMPANIED IT, GUARDED IT FROM ALL HARM.  And the Philistines did not dare to open the chest; for their god Dagon had met with such a fate that they feared to touch it, or to have it near them.  They called for the priests and the diviners, and inquired of them what they should do with the ark of God.  They advised them to send it back to the people to whom it belonged, and the send with it a costly trespass-offering, which if God would be pleased to accept, they would be healed.  They should also understand that God’s hand was upon them because they had taken his ark, which belonged alone to Israel.Some were not in favor of this.  It was too humiliating to carry back the ark; and they urged that no one of the Philistines would dare venture his life, to carry the ark of the God of Israel, which had brought such death upon them. Their counselors entreated the people not to harden their hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh had done, and cause still greater afflictions and plagues to come upon them.  And as they were all afraid to take the ark of God, they advised them, saying, “Now therefore, make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come on yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them.  And take the ark of the Lord, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass-offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.  And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Beth-shemesh, then he hath done us this great evil; but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance that happened to us.  And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.”   “And the kine took the straight way to the way of Beth-shemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.”The Philistines knew that the cows would not be induced to leave their young calves at home, unless they should be urged by some unseen power.  The cows went direct to Beth-shemesh, lowing for their calves, yet going directly from them.  The lords of the Philistines followed after the ark unto the border of Beth-shemesh.  The dared not trust that sacred chest wholly to the cows. They feared that if any evil happened to it, greater calamities would come upon them. They knew not THAT ANGELS OF GOD ACCOMPANIED THE ARK, and guided the cows in their course to the place where it belonged.ON TO BETH-SHEMESH:The men of Beth-shemesh were curious to know what great power could be in that ark, which caused it to accomplish such marvelous things.  They looked upon the ark alone as being so powerful, and were not accrediting the power to God.  None but men sacredly appointed for the purpose could look upon the ark , divested of its coverings, without being slain; for it was as though looking upon God himself.  And as the people gratified their curiosity, and opened the ark to gaze into its sacred recesses, which the heathen idolaters had not dared to do, THE ANGELS ATTENDING THE ARK SLEW ABOVE FIFTY THOUSAND OF THE PEOPLE.And the people of Beth-shemesh were afraid of the ark; and they said,  “‘Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God.’  And to whom shall he go up from us?  And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the Lord.  Come ye down, and fetch it up to you.”   The people of Kirjath-jearim brought the ark of the Lord to the house of Abinadab, and sanctified his son to keep it.  For twenty years the Hebrews were in the power of the Philistines, and they were greatly humbled, and repented of their sins; and Samuel interceded for them, and God was again merciful to them.BACK TO ISRAEL:The ark remained in the house of Abinadab until David was made king.  He gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand, and went to bring up the ark of God.  They set the ark upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, drove the cart.  David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of musical instruments.  “And when they came to Nachon’s threshing-floor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.”  He showed a manifest distrust of God, as though he who had brought the ark from the land of the Philistines, could not take care of it.  ANGELS WHO ATTENDED THE ARK STRUCK DOWN UZZAH for presuming impatiently to put his hand upon the ark of God.”And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it. And David offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord.”After Solomon had finished building the temple, he assembled the elders of Israel, and the most influential men among the people, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David.  Solomon followed the example of his father David.  Every six paces, he sacrificed.  With singing, and with music, and great ceremony, “the priests brought in the ark of the covenant for the Lord unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.  For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.”A most splendid sanctuary had been made, according to the pattern showed to Moses in the mount, and afterward presented by the Lord to David.  The earthly sanctuary  was made like the heavenly.  In addition to the cherubim on the top of the ark, Solomon made two other angels of larger size, standing at each end of the ark, REPRESENTING THE HEAVENLY ANGELS ALWAYS GUARDING THE LAW OF GOD.   It is impossible to describe the beauty and splendor of this tabernacle.  There, as in the tabernacle, the sacred ark was borne in solemn, reverential order, and set in its place beneath the wings of the two stately cherubim that stood upon the floor.INTO THE TEMPLE:The sacred choir united their voices with all kinds of musical instruments, in praise to God.  And while the voices, in harmony with instruments of music, resounded through the temple, and were borne upon the air through Jerusalem, the cloud of God’s glory took possession of the house, as it had formerly filled the tabernacle. “And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.“King Solomon stood upon a brazen scaffold before the altar, and blessed the people.  He then knelt down, and with his hands raised upward, poured forth earnest and solemn prayer to God, while the congregation were bowed with their faces to the ground.  After Solomon had ended his prayer, a miraculous fire came from Heaven and consumed the sacrifice.Because of the sins of Israel, the calamity which God said should come upon the temple if his people departed from him, was fulfilled some hundreds of years after the temple was built. God promised Solomon, if he would remain faithful, and his people would obey all his commandments, that that glorious temple should stand forever in all its  splendor, as an evidence of the prosperity and exalted blessings resting upon Israel for their obedience.THE ARK HIDDEN:Because of Israel’s transgression of the commandments of God, and their wicked acts, God suffered them to go into captivity, to humble and punish them.  Before the temple was destroyed, God made known to a few of his faithful servants the fate of the temple, which was the pride of Israel, and which they regarded with idolatry, while they were sinning against God.  He also revealed to them the captivity of Israel. THESE RIGHTEOUS MEN, JUST BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE, REMOVED THE SACRED ARK CONTAINING THE TABLES OF STONE, AND WITH MOURNING AND SADNESS, SECRETED IT IN A CAVE WHERE IT WAS TO BE HID FROM THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, BECAUSE OF THEIR SINS, AND WAS TO BE NO MORE RESTORED TO THEM.  THAT SACRED ARK IS YET HID.  IT HAS NEVER BEEN DISTURBED SINCE IT WAS SECRETED.

  After almost 2600 years in hiding the Lord has revealed the location of the Ark and orchestrated its being brought to light.  Beginning with Ron’s arm going up and pointing to where it was hidden, and words coming out of his mouth that he did not speak, and ending with his encounter with the four angels. The four angels guarding the Ark and its contents since Moses put the tables of stone in the Ark, are still at their post of duty.  They helped Ron personally in what the Lord wanted to have done.  The world will soon see them on the video Ron was instructed to make by them, along with the tables of stone and Jesus’ blood. In God’s time all will be revealed.

MORE MIRACULOUS HAPPENINGS:
(As told by Ron)
 When we were excavating in Israel for the Ark of the Covenant a lot of people would come by.  We were just about a block and a half up the street from the Rockefeller museum which is where all the offices of the Israeli Antiquities Department are located. Now, there’s been a letter sent around that implies that we never had a permit and possibly never excavated and all those sorts of things.  Satan is at work and there are those who will not enter the kingdom and they will do all they can to stop others from entering.  And so this is the type of thing we are dealing with.Well, by way of a quick explanation – The United Nations passed 2 resolutions that there was to be no Archaeological excavations in occupied territories, so all of us who have received permits to do archaeological work in occupied territories have been asked to keep those private.  One person who kind of shouted around about his is not doing archaeological work in Israel any more….  I’m not going to jeopardize my relationship with those people just to have the satisfaction of showing some of these people that they are wrong.  There are things that are more important than proving people wrong.  And all the folks that we discuss we pray for. Remember this.  Anybody that gets to heaven is going to be a nice person. So you can enthusiastically pray for the worst kind of people there are, that the Lord will save them, because, again, if they get to heaven they’re going to be nice people!From time to time people would come by, they’d come over and stop and watch for a bit.  And several of them would come over and say, “What are you all diggin’ for?”  And so I’d say, “The Ark of the Covenant“.  And they’d look at me right funny and they’d say, “SURE!”  and they’d go on their way.This one man came by one day around noon and he watched for a bit and then he said, “Look, can I help ya’?”  I said, “Sure.”  So we let him carry buckets of dirt and debris from the top of the dig (of course the dig was down in the cave and that day my turn was up on the top – I had to go round up some things, and so I was working up there) – we let him carry the buckets off to where we were dropping the palings.  And so he started asking a few questions and we had a conversation about a few things.  And he said, “You know, I’m going through a religious training school over on the other side of Jerusalem and I wish you could come over there and talk to the rest of the students and our teachers.”  And he said, “Is that sort of thing possible?”  And I said, “Sure. If you’ll give me a time I’ll try to get over there.”  And so he excused himself. He said, “I’ll go make a phone call and then find out what would be a good time.”  So he was gone for a few minutes, came back, and he said, “How’s Wednesday evening?”  And I said, “That would be fine.” And so he gave me directions how to get to the place where this school was located and he put it on the back of a piece of paper and I stuck it in my pocket.Wednesday came, and I knocked off a bit early, got washed up and I got a “rent-a-wreck” car. (You can get them quite inexpensively – they’ve all been wrecked but they still run so that’s the main part!  None of them have air conditioning, or at least the ones I got didn’t, so I had the windows rolled down.)  I was proceeding across Jerusalem all on these streets that were on the little sketch and I got to one place and I couldn’t find the street and I was going back and forth along this road looking for that street and it just simply wasn’t there!  So after about a half a dozen passes, I said, “Lord, if You want me to talk to these people You’re going to have to help me find them, ’cause I simply can’t find the street here.” And I asked that in Jesus’ name.  (Probably if I’d done it the SECOND trip it wouldn’t have taken so long!.)I decided, to go down the street I was on and make one more pass, and if I don’t find it I’m just simply going back to the hotel and try again some other day.   I turned around and started back up the street, and there was a little old man tottering along the edge of the pavement.  He was having a terrible time keeping his balance.  He wasn’t drunk, he was just simply, you know, one foot on the dirt and the other one on the black-top and some stones and stuff there and so he would wobble out in the road a bit.  And I stopped forgetting about my problem.  And I said, “Sir, can I take you home or wherever you want to go, ’cause you’re going to get killed out there like you are.”  And so he said, “Yes, Thank you!”  And so he got in the car and I said, “Now, I’m lost already, so you’ll have to tell me where to turn.”  And he said, “Well, I’m going to a little shop at the foot of the hill up here.”  And I said, “OK.  You just tell me where to turn and I’ll take you there.”  And so we went up the street a little ways and he said, “Turn here.”  And so I turned down that street and we got to the bottom of the hill and here was this market and I said, “Are you sure this is where you want to go?” And he said, “Yes.”  Well, the market was all boarded up.  It had sheets of plywood over the windows and doors, and weeds and saplings were growing up all around the thing – it was quite obvious to me that it hadn’t been used in several years!  That’s why I asked him “Are you sure this is where you want to go?”  He said “Yes.”  So anyway, he got out of the car and he turned around and stuck his head back in the window and he said, “The young man you are looking for is up that road at the top of the hill.” [pointing] He said, “You go through one gate and it’s the first house on the right.”  Well, I hadn’t said a word to him about no young man or anything like that….  When he pointed I looked to make sure I saw what direction he was pointing and when I looked back to say “thank you” he was gone….Well, we had a REAL good meeting that night…!!! But folks, God’s angels have been given orders to do anything they can to facilitate the finishing of God’s work.  And if you want to have these kinds of experiences yourself, just be sure you know what to tell people. That they must go to the Father in the name and blood of His Son and ask for forgiveness and rehabilitation, and that God’s law is binding throughout eternity.  In Ps. 89 verse 34 He says, “My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.”  Now we’ve been sharing that thought with people for some time and the other day I was reading in the Spirit of Prophecy and ran across a statement where she is talking about the last work and she said “the workers will remind the world that God does not alter the thing that has gone out of His lips.”  Well, I don’t know about you, but that is quite reassuring to me to know that the Lord impressed me to state that and that she had predicted that that would be a part of the last message!
 TRAGIC HAPPENINGS:
(As told during question and answer period at Lexington, TN on January 9, 1999)QUESTION: What about the 6 men who died. Were they Rabbi’s?ANSWER: Now about the six men. I don’t know if they were Rabbi’s or not. The Ark of the Covenant is 300′ north of the old city wall of Jerusalem and is in occupied territory. As you know Yasser Arafat has every intention of getting Jerusalem back and this area. And the UN and the United States seem to be intent on forcing Israel to accept that situation.The Israelis wanted to move the Ark of the Covenant out of occupied territory, into their own territory. And they allowed or arranged for six men, dressed in Levitical garb to go in and move the Ark. I didn’t ask too many questions as I have learned that it is best not to get nosy. When I go over there, quite often I will stop by the Antiquities Office, and ask them if there is something I can help them with. Now we have some electronics and some experience using electronics, and so we are able to find things that they have problems locating. We are able to see if there is something in a cave, before we actually open it, with electronics. And so they have had me do some of this for them.    On this occasion they just said, “yes we have a problem that you may be able to help us with.” So that night I met them down at Zedekiah’s Cave. Some of you know where that is if you have been there. And so we went in, and they said that six men went down this tunnel to move the Ark of the Covenant to a safer place and they didn’t come out. “Would you go see what happened to them.” Well the Israelis are not cowards by any stretch of the imagination. Now the men that were in the tunnel had these walkie-talkies or radios, and I’m sure they were in contact with people that were at the opening to the tunnel. All I can figure is, that they must have made some horrifying noises as they died, which was heard by those outside, otherwise they would have gone in to see what happened to them.  But, nobody would go in.  Well when I went in they were all six dead. From the beginning of the tunnel in Zedekiah’s Cave to the chamber that the Ark of the Covenant is in, is 370′. They had progressed approximately 70′ along the tunnel when they died. All of them died of a bilateral stroke, as witnessed by the fact that in all six, both of their eyes were crossed.Now to date there have been approximately 16 people who have died, because they have tried to interfere with or stop this work that God is allowing me to do. Most of them died in connection with the Ark of the Covenant in particular. They have all died of brain cancer or stroke. So anyway what I basically did when I saw what had happened, I went back out and told them. They had brought along these rescue baskets made of lightweight alloy, with ropes tied to them in case I was able to go in.So I took the baskets in one at a time. I would pick up a body and put it in a basket. I held it upright as the people at the end of the tunnel would pull the basket out. When we got one to the entrance to the tunnel, I would take another basket back in and load on another body, until we got all six of them out. I didn’t ask what they did with them, I didn’t ask anything and was asked not to say anything. But this appeared in a couple of papers that there had been six Israelis die in an effort to retrieve a national artifact. Because it was in the papers, some people asked me if I knew about it. I answered yes! And so we have shared that information.  What this indicates is simply God is quite happy with the Ark of the Covenant being where it is, and has no intention of letting anybody move it.

ANOTHER TRAGIC DEATH:Another incident had to do with a man who was told about the Ark’s existence before Ron was told not to say anything.  He got all excited and wanted Ron to get the information to the press.  Ron refused, so the man said he was going to get the word out and called some newspapermen to hold a news conference.  Ron was quite worried about this, but could not do anything about it as he was scheduled to fly home the next morning, the same time the man was to inform the press.  That conference was never held, for the man was found dead in a back alley with his throat slashed from ear to ear.WHEN GOD SAID NO:Another incident in which God had a hand, but the results were not tragic, because God kept it from happening.  This was when a religious television program,  tried to scope the news about the discovery of the Ark and tried to coerce Ron to take them there, bribing him with money etc.  They offered to pay his way over and go with him, hoping when they got there, Ron would buckle under.  The head of the program and his brother were there.  They were pressuring him to take them to the Ark, but Ron refused.Finally someone suggested that they pray for a sign as to what to do.  They took that suggestion and prayed that if Ron WAS NOT to take them to the Ark that it would rain by the next day.  Rain in that part of the world and at that time of the year was very unlikely, but that night it rained hard.  The next day, one of the brothers was still insistent that they be taken to the Ark.  He suggested that his brother go.  This brother told him that there was no way he would think of doing that, for God had given a clear NO, and he would not be a part of the other brothers scheme.The outcome was that they did not get to video tape the Ark as planned.  An outcome from all of this was that the one brother who was insistent started a rumor that Ron had broken an agreement and taken the money.  This is a boldface lie and never happened.  The enemy has tried hard to smear Ron’s name and discredit the discoveries.

September 22, 23, 24, or 25?

Many of you were waiting for the big revealing on September 22, 2023 of the Abomination. As was I. But long before this in our newsletters we had warned that we did not know if this was the actual date or not. We also have a few other close dates to consider. What we said was we just did not know.

Some people plagiarized our work and claimed it as their own, mixing it with all sorts of conspiratorial content. They took the highlights of our work but did not include the details, but replaced those details with wild conspiracy teachings to fill in the gaps of their short-sightedness.

When September 22, arrived, I had already determined to go radio silent. My life is at risk, and these thieves who steal our work as their own, do not care. All they want is the glory of being the first to tell the story. But the only source for their story was going to come from me and me alone as no one else is here to report it. Randy wanted to stay, but I made him leave and promise not to come back because I feared for his life. Randy kept his word, but I almost wish he was here to share this moment with me.

When I first arrived here with our group, on Sept 4,  I was expecting a large statue of some sort. But we could not find anything to speak of. Then late that night Shane Diltz pointed out to me a shrine that was newly erected. Right then and there I had to readjust my expectations. Paul Barry another witness, said he too expected it to be some giant statue, but here it was a simple shrine to the Blessed Virgin Mary, or the Queen of Heaven. The statue that would go into this shrine would be no bigger than 24 inches tall.

I have said before it only takes a little bit of shit in the brownie to make the whole thing abominable.

So there we are on Sept 4, with 18 more days until Sept 22. Yes, they could easily finish it on time. So off we go and then on Sept 8 Shane said they had taken down the forms. I could not see with the camera so I went over to check and sure enough. It sure looks like they are going to have this done by Sept 22.

We complete our tour and I say goodbye to everyone and then hunker down to see this thing through. But then I get sick and I am in bed for three days before I come back out. I was able to watch any work being done from my vantage. Again I had to keep my identity and purpose secret. I trusted those on our tour to also do the same to help protect me. Some of them saw and understood. I had asked them all to remain dead silent about this and not to discuss anything with anyone until I say so. Again I am concerned about getting out of here as all the roads are jammed solid and detours everywhere. Driving through east Jerusalem late in the night is not something I want to do even in the daytime.

But as Friday Sept 22, drew to a close here, nothing was happening. No parade, no installation. I sent the following note off to our leadership team and those who are witnesses.

OK 5:30 Friday evening and I checked one more time. Only one car in the parking lot. The place is empty. More parging was done today. I missed seeing them do it. Where I thought it was done before it is more done now.

People are going to cry false prophet and why is Joe not saying anything? Let them croak all they want.

The announcement from WHO was on March 11 2020, when we kept Passover.
Looking back at the prophecy.

Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week. And in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease, and on a corner of the altar desolating abominations, even until the end. And that which was decreed shall be poured on the desolator.

We got the midst of the week right, 2020.

Then in Daniel 12 it says:

Dan 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the desolating abomination set up, a thousand two hundred and ninety days shall occur.

It was announced on March 11, 2020, which was a Tuesday night Wednesday. But corporate prayer would not cease until that Sabbath and or Sunday March 14 and 15.
Three or four days later makes us now consider Sunday Sept 24, the Eve of Atonement here or on Atonement Sept 25, 2023.

I am writing this as it happens. Now I wait. The tares and idiots will be calling me a false prophet. Let them croak all they want. Yehovah is marking each one. I trust in Him the same as I did in 2020, when no one believed us then. Yehovah vindicated me then. I trust in Him now and have had this time here with Him with no other distractions. I will be checking out on the 26 and flying home on the 27th if nothing happens.

On Sept 30, one week before the massacre, Nehemia had invited me for Erev Shabbat with his sister in the West Bank. In the course of the meal both Nehemia and his sister stated I was right about what I had said in our 2018 interview concerning 2020. But Nehemia was not convinced about the 1290 days. But then we were only casually speaking and not able to go into details at both the Shabbat meal or the brief interview we did before the meal.

Then, our team discovered the following information:

On Wednesday (March 25), the Israeli government instituted a nearly complete COVID-19 lockdown that includes the closure of all houses of worship. The directive permits 10 worshippers to pray outdoors, provided they stand at least 6 feet apart.

We cancelled our flight until I knew what date I was going to leave. With this information about Israel shutting down on March 25, the 1290-day count brings us to October 6 or 7, which is Shemini Atzeret here in Israel. I have had to change my location. And I have also learned that Oct 7 is Our Lady of the Rosary Day. Will it be set up by then?

On October 7, 2023, all hell let loose in Israel with a surprise attack on Israel, resulting in the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust during WW II. This is Israel’s 9/11, and it was horrific.

More than a week after Hamas terrorists rained thousands of rockets down on Israel and infiltrated the country by air, sea and land in an unprecedented surprise attack, the region stands on the brink of war — with fears of a wider conflict and thousands dead on both sides of the Israel-Gaza border.

The conflict was touched off by the Oct. 7 sneak attack, which included thousands of armed Hamas fighters breaching a border security fence and indiscriminately gunning down Israeli civilians and soldiers taken off guard. Other militants stormed beaches in Israel in motorboats and some brought death from the sky, swooping in on paragliders.

More than 1,400 people have been killed in Israel, including children, and more than 4,500 people have been injured, Israeli officials said. At least 32 of those killed in Israel are Americans, according to the U.S. State Department.

At least 3,400 people have been killed in Gaza and more than 12,000 have been injured, according to the Palestinian Health Authority.

The Israel Defense Forces said 203 people have been taken hostage by Hamas and it’s believed they are being held in Gaza.

Golani soldiers were caught off guard during the Shemini Atzeret and the weekly Sabbath. The Golani units suffered a lot of casualties during this initial attack.

The Jerusalem Post

 

Overwhelmed: The IDF’s first hours fighting the terror waves on Oct 7

Story by By SETH J. FRANTZMAN  • 4d

The yellow gate of Kibbutz Beeri is burned. It is half open now and IDF vehicles flow back and forth. What was once a thriving community is now empty of civilians.

The fields are full of gear, backpacks, and other necessities for war. It’s also calm here. The winter months are coming and the clouds above give a crisp air, to this otherwise sweltering hot area near the Gaza border.

It was here that waves of Hamas members and other terrorists from Gaza burst through into Israel on the early morning of October 7. Kibbutz Beeri, Kfar Aza, and several other Israeli communities became ground zero for the massacre that took place.

The IDF fought at numerous sites along the border on that morning, trying to stem the tide of the attack. Golani soldiers from the 51st and 13th battalions fought along 30km of the border at numerous points and took heavy casualties between October 7 and 9.

Dozens of the soldiers from these units were killed, the IDF website for the fallen lists seventy soldiers from Golani as victims in the battles of the first days of the war. They fought to stop the terrorists and helped prevent worse horrors from unfolding. However, even as they fought this delaying action and bases and outposts were overrun, more than 1,000 civilians were massacred in various places.

Scenes of horror in the south

To get to this site of horror we drove down from Urim, a small community near Ofakim. There are checkpoints near Ofakim and many communities have police at their entrance, a sign that the terror threat remains.

It is day ten of the war. The overwhelming might of the IDF is now here. However, ten days ago this was a scene of chaos and slaughter. This whole road that leads down to Kibbutz Re’im, and then runs along the Gaza border, inland several kilometers from the border itself, was a road of death and massacre on October 7.

It was here that Hamas sent men on motorcycles and trucks to surround concertgoers at the Nova festival. Shelters near the bus stops, decorated and donated with support from abroad, became centers of death as terrorists tossed grenades into them and shot the people sheltering in them.

The commanders on this frontline faced a long sector to defend. It was divided into two pieces, the northern and southern sectors under the Gaza division, anchored at fortified areas along the line such as Kissufim and Nahal Oz.

A battalion of men, several hundred fighters, held each sector.

This spread the soldiers thin. It was Simchat Torah and Shabbat a weekend that was supposed to be quiet. The 51st battalion of the Golani had a Seyeret or recon unit at Kerem Shalom as well, near the Egyptian border. There was another unit at the Yiftach base near Zikim. The Home Front has a base at Zikim as well.

Dead surprise attack

The soldiers had no indication of the attack. They were not warned or put on alert. If they’d had just an hour to prepare they could have brought forces to bear where necessary against the impending threat and neutralized some of it.

They could have called in air force assets to decimate the 2,900 terrorists gathering near the border at five in the morning. Those terrorists would come in three waves. The first wave was well-armed and they struck 29 points on the border. They neutralized observation towers using drones and use motorbikes to penetrate into Israel, They crossed a billion-dollar fence that was supposed to stop them.

The Golani soldiers witnessed the rocket fire that awakened the border at 6:30. The battalions were dispersed. One unit, for instance, had to hold an area behind which were five kibbutzim, such as Kissufim, Ein HaShlosha, Magen, Nirim, and Nir Oz.

The soldiers had several tanks in each area along the border and they brought the tanks up to their berms to be able to confront attackers. The company commanders of the battalion summoned their fighters to try to control the damage. But there were black holes of information. Units were overrun, and areas such as Nir Oz lost touch with their commanders. The Gaza division camp at Reim was attacked.

It took time for each sector commander to understand the extent of the attack. Israel has trained and prepared for infiltrations. However, the belief was that each infiltration point was the major point of contact, not that the enemy had hit 29 places at the same time.

Each unit, and many of the Kita Konenut or security volunteers of the local kibbutzim, fought lonely battles, unable to see the full extent of the battle. Where the IDF and local forces were successful, they beat back the attack and the terrorists did not penetrate communities. However, at places like Beeri, the terrorists were able to pour in.

Commanders and members of the unit who were on leave came back to their units. It took several hours to organize a real defense at the border. And they had just begun to contain and destroy the enemy. It would take another fifty hours of tough battles.

The enemy would be reduced from 29 points of infiltration to nine places and then zero. The air force had difficulty carrying out strikes because the terrorists were mixed in with civilians, in communities and other areas. There were also Israeli forces in many places. This chaos nullified Israel’s technological advantages. The terrorists also had a large supply of weapons, such as RPGs and also kornet anti-tank missiles.

The terrorists also penetrated beyond the first line of contact into a second line of border communities. This presented an added difficulty. Terrorists were confronted by police in places like Sderot, Ofakim, and also at the Nova festival. 54 police were killed in the fighting.

After an hour or so many of Israel’s elite units responded. This included the Lotar counter-terror unit, which went into Sderot and other areas, as well as Shayetet 13, Shaldag, Seyeret Matkal, Duvdevan, Yasam police units, and other units of paratroops and commandos.

The terrorists had trained for this. They not only had maps of the communities they were attacking, but they also brought trucks and vehicles with weapons, gear, and other capabilities. In Beeri, we saw one terrorist pick-up truck with a “technical” machine gun setup on the back. The gun has been removed. The terrorists even removed spare tires in order to light them on fire to burn buildings in the communities.

The goal of the terrorists in several places was to seize buildings take hostages and entrench themselves. Others took hostages back to Gaza, others massacred people. It took time to kill the terrorists in Beeri. Now numerous buildings have been destroyed, partially burned, and ripped apart, like a tornado had come through here and left a path of destruction. But this was not a natural disaster, this was a human-caused disaster.

Israel believes this will be a long war. Many questions remain about the response at the border. The battalions that were stationed here paid a heavy price and had many heroes who stood against the enemy. However, they needed more support and lessons must be learned about this response.

I did not know about the attack or the slaughter at this time on Shabbat. I heard endless sirens and saw many rockets intercepted overhead with loud explosions as they were intercepted and then the sonic booms of the rockets blowing up, which I could feel on my chest there in East Jerusalem.

I could see from my vantage room that the convent was about to have a major mass ceremony, but they kept racing back inside the convent with each new siren. The day before I had witnessed a very unusual wind that swept up the mountain in my location. Very strong and turned everything to dust so you could not see. I did not know what it meant, but I noted it. Then today, this ceremony and the chaos of the rockets. I headed over to the convent to see if this was indeed the ceremony for the statue to be placed in the shrine. They had expected over 200 people to come, but only about 30 who were staying in the convent showed up due to the outbreak of war. At the end of the day, there was no statue placed in the shrine.

I did not at this time realize the depth or the size of the attack by Hamas on Israel that day. I decided to stay until Tuesday as this would facilitate the 3 more days if the March 25, 2020 date began on the Sabbath. I just did not know.

On the Sabbath, I got an email from Yehudah Glick telling me I was right about the things I had warned him about. The week before the war an assassination attempt on Yehudah’s life was prevented. After I posted the letter to the Prime Minister, Keith Johnson contacted me, upset that I had said such things warning of an imminent surprise attack based on the Abomination being set up and that I had written the Prime Minister publicly. His tour went ahead, although he was nervous due to the things I was saying and warning.

After the tour and just 3 days before the attack on Oct 7, Keith and his team met with me to discuss why I was saying these things. I explained it to them all and the dates we had arrived at, which had now passed. I then told him about Oct 7 and they were not convinced but found it all interesting.

Keith and his team had left and were in Jordan when the war broke out. He contacted me to encourage me to tell everyone I could about what was going on. He said I was right about 2020 and now I was right about Oct 7 and Yehudah Glick one of the leading authorities in Israel also was saying I was correct. I needed to shout this out.

Sunday we began to hear about the atrocities Hamas had done all around Gaza to Israelis. It was horrific. And it was on Sunday that I saw the video of the slaughter of the people at the concert. Before the video I was arguing with Yehovah, as to why He would allow so many innocent people, elderly and babies and children to be slaughtered in such a horrific manner. After seeing the video of the slaughter I then published a video explaining it.

We did a number of other updates after that as we tried to get out of Israel. The airport was locked down due to the rocket fire nonstop. No planes leaving. The Border with Jordan was also closed. Hezbollah was preparing to attack from the north with 250,000 rockets. Where do we go?

Was the statue of Buddha on Shemini Atzeret, which was prominently displayed over the DJ tent at the Mother Earth party, the abomination that was set up? October 7 was 1290 days after the daily was stopped in Israel on March 25, 2023. It seems like it. But it was not the Holy Place. Do we count all the land of Israel as Holy? If we do then what about all the other statues put up in the land of Israel?

Is the Hamas attack sent by Yehovah, for the Mother Earth event with the Buddha image the Israelis were dancing around? It is very much like the events when Moses came down from Mount Sinai and saw Israel dancing around the Golden Calf. 3000 died that day or about 5% of the population then.

We were right about 2020. We got the actual start date wrong. Having now adjusted for the start date being around March 25, 2020 when the daily in Israel was taken away, 1290 days later is October 7, 2023. Although we were not sure what date it was going to take place, we seem to have been very close on our date, but not on our understanding of the location. We do hope these things will become more clear in time.

Right now we all must be concerned about what is coming next.

The 6th seal is now going to be fulfilled with the souls under the altar being filled up. That means a persecution must now take place of those who keep the Sabbath and Holy Days. You can see the hatred for Israel around the world now. But that hatred is also for those who keep the Sabbath and Holy Days who are not Jews. That is you and I.

Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran will not stop with just the Jews. No, then they will go after the LGBTQs and the Christians and everyone who does not worship the Quran. So get ready.
