Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press onward toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14
“And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me –the task of testifying to God’s grace” Acts 20:22-24
A NEW YEAR
Last year about this time I wrote a post for the New Year titled “Year of the Serpent” a reference not to the Chinese New Year which was year of the Ox but to what I believed would be the defining theme for the year ahead and as it turns out I wasn’t far off the mark.
THE NUMBER 21
The number 21 as it relates to year 2021 is tied to or symbolic of great wickedness and rebellion. And, I think this past year has proven to be that and more without a doubt. And even more importantly perhaps is the “vaccine” which was rolled out on March 11th of this past year which many now refer to as either “the jab” or “the snake bite” for the dubious if not out right insidious and deadly venom contained therein. Moving on.
THE NUMBER 22
The number 22 (as we focus on the coming year) is a double 11 which Biblically speaking is the number for chaos,disorder and judgment. And we also have the triple digit 2’s (when the zero is dropped) which points to both marriage (Genesis 2:22) when God created Eve from the rib of man and murder and betrayal in Luke 22:2 and Luke 22:22 when the Pharisees conspired to kill Jesus and the betrayal by Judas.
MARRIAGE, MURDER And BETRAYAL
In the image above the three twos are prominent while the zero is dropped. And while the zero is still being supported it leaves us with the idea that it is the multiple of two’s which are important. And this is just an image I selected after viewing a few choices but nevertheless seems to fit as I’m writing this post. Therefore, I can see like the Apostle Paul in Acts 20:22-24 that this year contains all the elements for hardship, betrayal and perhaps even murder (martyrdom) for some but also the strong possibility that marriage to our beloved bridegroom is equally within this framework as well. We shall see.

“He who watches over Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps” Psalm 121:4
I don’t know about you but I think it’s quite plain that the one who watches over Israel is not the so called “leader of the free world”. As they say, “a picture is worth a thousand words” – and in my opinion this photo says it all. And the expression on the Prime Minister’s face- even with the mask – seems to say, ” uh, should I keep talking (?) because I think he’s gone to sleep”. What an embarrassing and humiliating situation. Our enemies must be crowing with delight. Poor Joe; confused, addled and spent he just needs some warm milk and some one to tuck him in. Good night Joe.
The hills of Galilee
Psalm 121
“I lift my eyes to the hills– where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip– he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you–the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm–he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane
Keeping Watch
Something Jesus demonstrated so beautifully that night in the garden while his disciples slept- keeping watch. And, in spite of his admonition to watch and pray – they (like us) just could not do it and before they knew it were fast asleep. Which shows our weakness and his strength. You see, in Exodus 12:42 it is commanded that the Israelites stay awake all night on Passover.
“Because the Lord kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the Lord for the generations to come”. Exodus 12:42
But by Jesus staying awake while they slept Psalm 121 would be fulfilled. It is the Lord who stands watch … andhedid …just like he does now. It is the Lord who stands watch over our souls and our salvation. On our own we simply cannot do it. A lesson Israel is due to learn in the very near future.

OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES
On Friday night August 20th my daughter was putting her two and a half year old to bed. They said prayers, watched a Jesus video for children and played some childrens worship songs. This is her normal bed time routine. As this routine was coming to a close the two year old was prattling on about clouds. My daughter wasn’t paying too much attention but finally said, “what about clouds?” The two year old said-
“Fire in the clouds, the sun, moon and stars … and all the food is burned up”
Wow! What two year old says stuff like that!! But then when ask, ” what food?” she promptly replies ” oh, sandwiches and hot dogs” … the only food I suppose her two year old mind could comprehend.
Elul 11 – “You Will Know”
For those of you looking for a follow up to my dream regarding Elul 11 …I wish I had one. At this point, I really do not …but I have a friend who may well have uncovered it. Please check out this blog by my friend William at The Endtimes Forecaster titled – “World War 3 – Has it begun?” I think you will find it of interest. You can read it here.
Warp Speed
With today’s approval for the Pfizer vaccine by the FDA …I think it would be safe to say that many of us are feeling a warp speed acceleration in the fulfillment of Bible Prophecy. I have not yet began to process all my thoughts regarding this but will post here as soon as I think I have something worth sharing. Until then,

“Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him for God’s temple is sacred and you are that temple. 1 Cor. 3:16-17
Most of us have understood that the building of the third temple in Jerusalem is necessary to the progression and fulfillment of Bible prophecy. And that may be so. We know the Temple Institute has been working hard for years to accumulate the necessary items along with the implementation of certain procedures in order to make this happen. And we have now reached a time where the only thing lacking is the green light to do so.
But what if there is something else to be derived from these verses?
As we all know the entire world is being coerced in to taking the Covid-19 “vaccination”. Using fear and incentives of every kind from donuts to dollars the only thing left for the few holdouts that remain is coercion of a much less friendly nature.
TEMPLE OF STONE OR TEMPLE OF FLESH
As we know from scripture the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. God does not dwell in man made structures any longer. The veil of the temple was rent in two at the time of Christ’s death and the temple itself was destroyed in 70 AD as Jesus said it would be. It seems to me that the adversary ( ha Satan) if he really wants to sit in the place of God would not be content to seat himself in a mere brick and stone building (human kings can do that) but rather to occupy that special place in the human body which God has reserved for the Holy Spirit to take residence. So, with that in mind let’s look at a couple of verses.
“So when you see standing in the holy place the abomination that causes desolation, spoken of through Daniel the prophet–let the reader understand–then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.” Matthew 24:15-16
“…. And on a wing of the temple, he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.” Daniel 9: 27
Because this discussion could become quite lengthy if I tried to look up each word in the Greek and Hebrew to see if a case could be made for what I am suggesting I will leave it to you to do so on your own providing you are interested. I think its possible we might be missing what is right in front of us. Not seeing the forest for the trees as they say. I have to keep reminding myself that only scripture is holy writ and not the interpretation of any one individual no matter how prominent their name or title.
5G
I for one have believe from multiple articles and sources which I have read that these injections are not only dangerous but have DNA altering capability. The powers that be are in a mad rush to get everyone inoculated as soon as possible. Perhaps, to be ready when 5 G is rolled out. And maybe it already is- I’m not sure. I did receive a notice from my cell service provider that I would need a new phone or upgrade to my existing one by January 2022 as my current phone will not be compatible with 5 G. So, I take that to be a deadline of some sort. Will humans be tied to the internet and trackable by 5 G? I wouldn’t be surprised. * I did write a post in March of 2020 about 5 G before I even knew what it was. If you would like to check it out you can find it here. I think you might find it interesting.
I came across an article yesterday that I thought was worth sharing. Apparently, Israel has vaccinated approximately 78% of their people and are pressing hard to make that number even higher. A number that according to the new Prime Minister might just hold back the coming of the Messiah, if not raised. A back door or backhanded reference you might say to the fast approaching high Holy days which traditionally speak of the coming of Messish. * Sorry, I was planning to post the link to that article but now cannot find it.
Anyway, long story short it appears to me that the remnant would need to consist of unvaccinated people and if that is so we must be very close to two very significant events: the rapture of the Church and the removal of the remnant from Israel to Petra. Because of the very heinous plan that is even now being implemented it is imperative that God act soon or indeed “no flesh would be saved”. Something to think about as we watch and wait in this late hour.

Watching and waiting with YOU for the soon return of Jesus! Cindy
The other night I had two short but interesting dreams that I would like to share here as I think they could be pertinent in the next few days. I’ll share the second one first.
In this dream, I was with a small gathering of people. It seemed to be a restaurant with outdoor seating. It was also at night. Part of the group consisted of Chasidic Jews. I knew this by the distinctive clothing that they wear. Suddenly, in the night sky there appeared these small but distinct words.
“Elul 11, you will know”
In the preceding dream, I was at the bedside of a very thin and weakened woman by the name of Deborah. It was odd because although she was advanced in age (late 60’s) she was very pregnant. She had kind of slid down in the bed and needed to be pulled up and repositioned. Another person who I could not see but was also at the bedside stated that she just needed to push herself up by her feet. I replied, “she is too weak” …”we need to help her” …so we slid our arms under her and lifted her up in the bed. It was kind of odd (well, very odd, actually) but I was dressed in a bright yellow two piece bathing suit covered by a blue denim cover up; kind of like an over size shirt would be. End of dream.
The next morning, I discussed these dreams with my daughter and we both agreed that they seem to be about Israel.
Identifying Factors
First of all, we easily recognize the image of a woman about to give birth from Revelation 12:14.
“The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour the child the moment it was born.”
Another identifying factor is the name Deborah. Deborah was a Judge, Prophetess and known to be “a mother in Israel” …in the sense of a title. This is taken from the Song of Deborah in the book of Judges –
“Village life in Israel ceased, ceased until I Deborah, arose, arose a ‘mother in Israel'” Judges 5:7
A picture begins to emerge. But if this is Israel why the weakened and vulnerable condition? Israel has a very strong army and is very strong economically although becoming increasingly isolated by the nations of the world. Then, my daughter suggested that the remnant may consist of those who have so far resisted the vaccine and are now weak and vulnerable from holding that position. Therefore, with out intervention there might be no one who escapes this vile injection … but God, but God has a plan that comes on the two wings of an eagle.
Remember the yellow bathing suit and blue cover up. My daughter suggested it might be the colors of a flag. We found two. One was Sweden which has a blue backdrop with yellow cross emblazoned across it. And the other was Kazakastan. Now, its interesting because Sweden has a poor relationship with Israel but Kazakastan on the other hand has an increasingly good one. Check out their flag. Do you see the eagle?
The flag of Kazakastan is described like this –
“A gold sun with 32 rays above a soaring golden steppe eagle, both centered on a sky blue field. The hoist side displays a national ornamental pattern “koshkar-muiz” (the horns of the ram) in gold.”
There are multiple articles describing the positive relationship between these two countries. Might God be planning to use these two wings of an eagle to carry the remnant to Petra or will he simply supernaturally transport them like he did Phillip, the Eunuch in the book of Acts? We simply do not know as of yet.
Signs in the Sky
Ok, the second dream had two powerful identifying factors. One obviously had to do with the Jewish people. The question is – Jews in general or Hasidic Jews? I did find out the the ultra orthodox have been among the vaccine hesitant in Israel but that is slowly changing. According to a recent article dated July 4, of this year 61% of Israeli’s had received the vaccine with the ultra-orthodox and Arab population lagging behind. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/israel-vaccine-data-how-many-have-already-been-inoculated-for-covid-1.9626604
ELUL 11
The message in the night sky read- “Elul 11, you will know”. I was kind of stymied by that. First of all, I mistakenly thought the month of Elul had passed. But, it had not. In fact, today is the first day of Elul. Elul 11 will be on August 19th. Secondly, we have to ask the very important question –“know what?”
Clues
First of all the month of Elul is known as a time for searching. A simple definition from Wikipedia reads like this –
“In Jewish tradition, the month of Elul is a time of repentance in preparation for the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The word “Elul” is similar to the root of the verb “search” in Aramaic. Jewish sources from the 14th century and on write that the Hebrew word “Elul” can be understood to be an acronym for the phrase “Ani L’dodi V’dodi Li” – “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine”.[2] Elul is seen as a time to search one’s heart and draw close to God in preparation for the coming Day of Judgement, Rosh Hashanah, and Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur.[3] Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi compared, by way of analogy, the month of Elul to a king visiting his peasants in the field before returning to his palace”.
The above information is actually quite concise in our understanding of why Elul is an important month. But, what else might we find?
August 19th in history
This was interesting. On August 19th, 1934 Hitler was given full power.
In 1934, a plebiscite in Germany approved the vesting of sole executive power in Adolf Hitler *** A plebiscite is defined as ” *the direct vote of all the members of an electorate on an important public question such as a change in the constitution”.
So, what might the Lord be telling us regarding these two dreams, if anything? We dig a little deeper.
According to Biblestudy,org …the number 11 in scripture denotes “disorder, chaos and judgment”. The number 19 which is a combination of 10 and 9 denotes “God’s perfect order in regard to judgement”. Also, Strongs Hebrew number 19 is ibchah which means “slaughter”.. And Strongs Hebrew number 11 is ” “abaddon” a place of ruin or destruction.
I guess with all this I am saying that we might consider adding Elul 11, August 19th to our watch list. Might the antichrist consolidate his power on this date- even if he is not officially revealed? Might the “woman” give birth – her offspring caught up to heaven while the remnant is transported to their place of safety? Will something occur that causes ruin, destruction, disorder, chaos and judgment? Only time will tell. But this I think all of us can agree on –
“The King is in the field. Are you ready?”
* A few minutes ago, the thought came to me to add 40 days to Elul 11 ((August 19th) and it came out to be September 28th. This is the day after the Feast of Tabernacles concludes and is known as Shemeni Atzeret which translates to “assembly.” Might this be the day we assemble before the Lord? We wait and see.

On July 20th the richest man on earth Jeff Bezos will launch into space aboard the New Shepard for the ride of his life. Named for the first American in space 60 years ago (Alan Shepard), the NewShepard becomes the second of three very wealthy Americans with aspirations to move the country forward in to a new era of space and travel. Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. And as far as I can tell (although the three have been in direct competition to be first) there is no date set as of this writing for Elon Musk.
Just last week on July 11th Richard Branson entered the edge of space from the desert floor of New Mexico aboard his Virgin Galactic rocket named the VSS Unity. Interestingly, the launch would take place just 30 miles from the oddly named town of Truth or Consequences. A combination of names and events that could truly cause some serious head scratching. And with just 9 days between flights it may just be possible to find a prophetic link between the two.
“Then the Lord said to me, ‘Take again the equipment of a foolish shepherd. For I am going to raise up a shepherd over the land who will not care for the lost, or seek the young, or heal the injured, or feed the healthy, but will eat the meat of the choice sheep, tearing off their hoofs'” Zechariah 11:15
FORTY DAYS
On Friday, June 11 Michael Packard was inadvertently seized by a humpback whale while diving for lobster off Cape Cod, Massachusetts. There in the depths he would find himself trapped until the big fish surfaced spitting him out. A modern day Jonah story by all accounts. Interesting, when you add 40 days (as in the Biblical story) you come to July 20th, the day Jeff Bezos ( whose surname means proud flesh or kisses) blasts heavenward on the Blue Origin New Shepard. From the deepest depths to the highest heights. Forty days.
“Kiss the son lest he be angry and you perish in the way” Psalm 2:12
Many are looking for a possible rapture within the next couple of days with sudden destruction to follow in completion of the forty days following the whale incident. And while this is certainly possible it is also extremely likely that whatever occurs this weekend will be closely followed by the rise of the worthless shepard.
“Woe, to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May the sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered, and his right eye totally blinded! Zechariah 11:17
Favor And Unity – the breaking of the staff
It’s interesting that Zechariah 11 also speaks of the breaking of two staffs (favor or beauty) and (union or bands) which seems to precede the rise of the worthless shepherd and what may soon be coming.
And while passages like these may already have historical fulfillment its possible that they may lend themselves to future fulfillment as well which is why I link them to the rise of the worthless shepherd.
*Interesting, the faded condition given the topic. I actually chose it sort of randomly
What modern nation sings of beauty, favor and unity?
O beautiful for spacious skies, (beauty) For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! (blessing) America! America! God shed his grace on thee (favor) And crown thy good with brotherhood (unity) From sea to shining sea!
Count down to judgment
When Michael Packard was rescued from the jaws of the whale he was taken to a hospital in Provincetown, Massachusetts where the landing of the Mayflower is commemorated and the Mayflower Compact was signed. It was important to those who made this momentous and daring voyage that others know that it was “for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith” that they had come to this place. And so it was noted. Today Provincetown or P-town as it is known locally has become a popular haven for artists and a vacation destination for the LGBTQ community. Is it therefore possible that a 40 day count began from this place on June 11th which will end on July 20th in West Texas near a small community by the name of Van Horn
Fed By Ravens
On July 11th the VSS Unity took flight and landed successfully. A great triumph for 71 year old Richard Branson in his race against his peers. Branson which means “son of the raven” was blessed with success much like Elijah was when fed by ravens. His flight taking place near the small town of Truth or Consequences ….which begs the question- do we stand for the truth? Or face the consequences. Fast forward 9 days to July 20th when Bezos whose name means kisses/proud flesh will attempt the same near Van Horn, Texas.
Out of the Sea – the rise of the beast (the worthless shepherd).
“And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads …. Revelation 13:1
It’s been interesting to consider all this information. I pray that it will be a blessing to you in some way. You are of course free to draw your own conclusions when it comes to symbolism. I think we can all agree ( all of us that are watching) that we have reached a crucial point. And that coming of Jesus is even now closer than we might imagine.
As we approach this high watch date I want to refer you one more time, if you will to TW Tramm. I think he makes a compelling case for the return of Jesus at the time of a full moon. Will this be the time of our long awaited honeymoon? We shall soon see.
