WEBVTT 1 00:00:20.190 --> 00:00:26.430 A warm welcome to today’s video titled "The Bride Makes Herself Ready." 2 00:00:27.380 --> 00:00:33.399 If you think the Bride in the Bible is only the Church, as Paul says, 3 00:00:33.409 --> 00:00:40.640 that’s only half right—or incomplete—and you should definitely stay until the end. 4 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.460 Today’s topic is going to be more than exciting. 5 00:00:45.380 --> 00:00:55.077 The Book of Revelation, which we’re trying to decode and understand, actually gives a very different definition of the Bride—and yet, 6 00:00:55.087 --> 00:01:00.400 in the end, it fits perfectly with the image of the Church as the Bride. 7 00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:05.822 Today, we’ll focus less on dates and timelines. 8 00:01:05.832 --> 00:01:16.021 It’s going to be exciting—and by the end of this video, you’ll also know what is most likely the spacecraft of Jesus, 9 00:01:16.031 --> 00:01:19.591 the one in which the saints will depart, 10 00:01:19.601 --> 00:01:22.291 where it is located right now, 11 00:01:22.301 --> 00:01:26.732 how it will become visible no later than December, 12 00:01:26.742 --> 00:01:35.440 and what the hail and the winepress mean—topics we’ve mentioned again and again in the last videos. 13 00:01:36.660 --> 00:01:48.060 So yes, it’s going to be thrilling. Stay tuned! As always, here’s a reminder of our last two videos, which belong together. 14 00:01:48.910 --> 00:01:54.930 The title of the second-to-last video was "The Harvest at the End of Time." 15 00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:07.221 And the most recent one was a special video on the final harvest verse, titled "The Mystery of the 1600 Furlongs." 16 00:02:07.231 --> 00:02:10.360 Please make sure to watch both. 17 00:02:12.100 --> 00:02:16.049 A new video usually builds on the previous one. 18 00:02:16.059 --> 00:02:23.640 We went through the harvest texts in Revelation 14 and showed how they are being fulfilled 19 00:02:23.650 --> 00:02:30.547 in the heavens—and how and when the wheat harvest takes place at the end of time, 20 00:02:30.557 --> 00:02:35.602 especially in light of the events surrounding Charlie Kirk, 21 00:02:35.612 --> 00:02:38.297 the following hyped-up revival, 22 00:02:38.307 --> 00:02:40.993 and the 80th UN General Debate, 23 00:02:41.003 --> 00:02:43.520 just to mention a few topics. 24 00:02:45.600 --> 00:02:54.522 As mentioned earlier, the harvest texts end with the cutting of the grapes, the filling of the winepress, 25 00:02:54.532 --> 00:03:00.810 and the treading of the winepress—explained in detail in that last video. 26 00:03:01.950 --> 00:03:14.650 And this coincides with the hail of the seventh plague, whose passages we already discussed in the third-to-last video "The Fall of Babylon." 27 00:03:15.640 --> 00:03:25.190 In all these videos, the cross of Jesus and His sacrifice remain the central focus—and today’s video will be no different. 28 00:03:26.040 --> 00:03:31.029 The true Bride of Jesus will not be struck by the hail, 29 00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:38.920 but only those who refuse to accept Him while His hand is still stretched out to save. 30 00:03:40.920 --> 00:03:45.010 You already know this chart from the previous videos. 31 00:03:45.850 --> 00:03:55.438 In blue, I’ve highlighted the core period during which countless events unfolded on the world stage. 32 00:03:55.448 --> 00:04:03.780 Let’s first take a look at some of the things that have happened since the last video. 33 00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:10.273 This image is from the video "The Midnight Cry." 34 00:04:10.283 --> 00:04:24.880 On one hand, we pointed out that around this time, we could expect a midnight cry—or an event that would awaken the sleeping virgins. 35 00:04:25.550 --> 00:04:33.390 Well, we published our last video, "The Mystery of the 1600 Furlongs," on October 10. 36 00:04:34.750 --> 00:04:42.050 The content had been preached internally in our congregation on October 4. 37 00:04:43.270 --> 00:04:48.280 Let me quote one of the last sentences as a summary of that video: 38 00:04:48.810 --> 00:04:49.989 "Dear friends, 39 00:04:49.999 --> 00:05:01.860 for me personally the content of this video is the ultimate call and the strongest admonition in an absolutely dark time to finally wake up. 40 00:05:02.650 --> 00:05:10.140 You know the timeline, the home stretch of what is probably the last sprint of the entire Christian race. 41 00:05:10.980 --> 00:05:20.920 Our Lord is coming. He is on the way. The censer has long since been cast down, of which 3I/ATLAS testifies. 42 00:05:21.300 --> 00:05:33.855 And the harvest at the end of the world is happening right now. Be part of the good wheat and not of the tares as darnel. And certainly not of the grapes that will be trodden." 43 00:05:33.865 --> 00:05:35.102 End quote. 44 00:05:35.950 --> 00:05:42.321 The depth of that video is tremendous—and under normal circumstances, 45 00:05:42.331 --> 00:05:55.340 it should be enough to awaken anyone when the cross of Jesus is so dramatically connected with the height of the blood of the 1600 furlongs. 46 00:05:56.420 --> 00:06:00.283 But reality shows that only a massive, 47 00:06:00.293 --> 00:06:14.110 dreadful event will truly cause people to understand and to cry out that our Bridegroom has long been on His way—as 3I/ATLAS testifies. 48 00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:17.380 And that event has not yet come. 49 00:06:18.750 --> 00:06:28.460 Therefore, we have to say that the Midnight Cry has not yet occurred with the necessary volume and intensity. 50 00:06:29.610 --> 00:06:37.550 In the next video, we’ll get even more insight to that date—or rather, to that event. 51 00:06:39.180 --> 00:06:55.610 On the other hand, please remember C/2025 K1, which reached its perihelion on October 8 in the constellation of the carrion-eating crow. 52 00:06:56.630 --> 00:07:03.480 We showed that the comet points, at this time, to the following two verses. 53 00:07:04.750 --> 00:07:07.735 "And I saw an angel standing in the sun; 54 00:07:07.745 --> 00:07:14.348 and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, 55 00:07:14.358 --> 00:07:19.600 Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God. 56 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:35.870 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great." 57 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:45.160 In the heavens, we see God’s foretold signs—and on the earth, something immense is brewing. 58 00:07:46.610 --> 00:07:55.800 Have you heard what has taken place in these days? Have you heard the war cry of that angel? 59 00:07:57.900 --> 00:08:06.350 This is definitely about a great and warlike assembling of the forces of evil. 60 00:08:07.490 --> 00:08:12.848 On October 3, K1 entered the constellation of the Crow. 61 00:08:12.858 --> 00:08:22.590 On October 8 it reached its perihelion, and by October 10 it had left the Crow constellation again. 62 00:08:23.150 --> 00:08:34.850 Also keep in mind where this angel comes from — namely, from here—from Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer, and from the Serpent itself. 63 00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:49.360 If you follow its path on this side, it reaches Andromeda on December 16 — and as it’s known, Andromeda is holding a chain. 64 00:08:50.170 --> 00:08:58.540 That could represent the beginning of the chaining of Satan, who will be bound for a thousand years. 65 00:08:59.940 --> 00:09:08.654 At this point, I want to briefly touch on a topic that many Christians prefer to ignore. 66 00:09:08.664 --> 00:09:16.080 Satan has long been cast out of heaven — and his obedient angels with him. 67 00:09:17.850 --> 00:09:32.120 Since then, they’ve been here on earth as demons, and are able to take possession, or rather, influence people in an extremely negative way. 68 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:44.220 That’s why humans are capable of doing unimaginable things — in a very negative sense, of course. And one more thing must not be forgotten. 69 00:09:44.660 --> 00:09:53.520 In 2 Corinthians 11:14 we read that Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 70 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.220 You have to be very careful whom you trust. 71 00:09:58.110 --> 00:10:11.770 So what happened on earth during these key dates surrounding K1 that mirrored this call we saw in the heavens? 72 00:10:13.980 --> 00:10:25.350 When prophecy speaks of those flesh-eating birds, it’s actually anything, but not literal birds. 73 00:10:26.130 --> 00:10:31.670 What else do we humans call "birds of the air"? 74 00:10:33.370 --> 00:10:45.420 Airplanes — especially fast fighter jets, bombers, or reconnaissance aircraft — are referred to in military jargon as birds. 75 00:10:45.900 --> 00:10:49.550 "Two birds are in the air," or "The bird has landed." 76 00:10:50.650 --> 00:11:00.216 The term bird is common in NATO because it originated in American military slang "bird" and 77 00:11:00.226 --> 00:11:09.466 was adopted through the shared radio and operational language — symbolizing the flying, 78 00:11:09.476 --> 00:11:12.620 living nature of an aircraft. 79 00:11:14.510 --> 00:11:19.260 Enough of the definition. I think it’s clear where this is going. 80 00:11:20.260 --> 00:11:31.410 Look at what happened during those days while K1 traveled from Ophiuchus until it left the constellation of the Crow. 81 00:11:34.030 --> 00:11:44.890 You remember the so-called drone incidents at various European civilian and NATO airports. 82 00:11:45.980 --> 00:11:54.820 For weeks, people were wondering what these unidentified flying objects — these UFOs — really were. 83 00:11:55.920 --> 00:12:02.420 They couldn’t be identified; no clear photos were taken; they weren’t shot down. 84 00:12:03.170 --> 00:12:10.340 There was speculation — were they Russian, or American, or some inside job? 85 00:12:11.160 --> 00:12:19.260 And to this day, no one knows whether they were controlled by humans — or by extraterrestrials. 86 00:12:19.830 --> 00:12:32.140 Yeah, and Satan — or the fallen angels, the demons — are, by definition, extraterrestrials — just from the evil side. 87 00:12:33.650 --> 00:12:41.173 Satan wants to entangle humanity in war so that people are distracted and 88 00:12:41.183 --> 00:12:48.180 fail to prepare for the Day of the Lord — and to stand in that day. 89 00:12:49.400 --> 00:12:57.880 And war is twofold — spiritual and physical — as we can read here in Ephesians. 90 00:12:58.670 --> 00:13:07.673 Only when you know the time and therefore can connect earthly events with the corresponding Bible 91 00:13:07.683 --> 00:13:16.490 texts will you receive from Scripture the answer to who is behind these mysterious happenings. 92 00:13:18.010 --> 00:13:30.260 The climax of these UFO attacks came when major airports in Germany were targeted on October 3 and 4. 93 00:13:31.300 --> 00:13:41.230 Exactly when the angel K1 entered the constellation of the Crow and then gave his gathering call. 94 00:13:43.460 --> 00:13:53.860 What was the earthly consequence of these UFO manifestations during the core period from October 3 to 10? 95 00:13:55.500 --> 00:14:07.540 The state of tension in Germany began to be discussed or considered starting on October 3, 2025. 96 00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:15.768 And that discussion was triggered mainly by this series of unidentified flying-object 97 00:14:15.778 --> 00:14:21.110 sightings over sensitive infrastructure and major airports. 98 00:14:22.380 --> 00:14:32.885 The state of tension is a constitutionally defined external emergency situation — a stage between peace 99 00:14:32.895 --> 00:14:43.390 and a declared state of defense — which the Bundestag can declare in order to raise defense readiness. 100 00:14:43.760 --> 00:14:52.350 In such a case, the Basic Law allows certain fundamental rights to be restricted according to legal provisions. 101 00:14:52.910 --> 00:15:03.135 Typically affected are, for example, the secrecy of telecommunications and mail, freedom of movement, and parts of occupational freedom, 102 00:15:03.145 --> 00:15:07.270 along with related exceptions from the emergency laws. 103 00:15:08.020 --> 00:15:18.058 During a state of tension, authorities — with the Bundestag’s approval — may restrict travel and movement, order communication surveillance, 104 00:15:18.068 --> 00:15:20.998 requisition businesses or obligate them, 105 00:15:21.008 --> 00:15:28.383 and even permit the deployment of the Bundeswehr inside the country to secure critical infrastructure, 106 00:15:28.393 --> 00:15:32.900 as long as such measures are legally defined and time-limited. 107 00:15:34.920 --> 00:15:46.172 Military readiness in Germany, Denmark, and NATO as a whole was increased in response to this angel’s call, 108 00:15:46.182 --> 00:15:54.690 and public unease is growing as governments warn of unidentified aerial threats. 109 00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.910 All this has led to where we are now. 110 00:16:00.640 --> 00:16:06.170 And you know that this tension in Europe has not decreased one bit. 111 00:16:07.070 --> 00:16:17.601 The call of that evil angel through those unidentified flying objects over key civilian and NATO airports has gone out, 112 00:16:17.611 --> 00:16:20.787 and the earthly fighter-jet "birds, 113 00:16:20.797 --> 00:16:23.442 " their pilots and commanders, 114 00:16:23.452 --> 00:16:27.690 have prepared themselves to destroy much flesh. 115 00:16:29.160 --> 00:16:38.600 Thus the nations are being stirred up to finally launch the Third World War in Europe against Russia. 116 00:16:39.730 --> 00:16:46.410 Once again, remember Ephesians 6:11–12, where we are told: 117 00:16:47.570 --> 00:16:56.010 "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 118 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:14.030 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." 119 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:19.370 Against Satan and his demons. 120 00:17:20.900 --> 00:17:32.710 I think there’s little more that needs to be said, except this: don’t be deceived by the so-called peace-and-security meetings. 121 00:17:33.250 --> 00:17:43.900 Don’t expect a good outcome — not even if you’re hearing it in the news that Putin and Trump plan to meet soon in Hungary. 122 00:17:45.030 --> 00:17:49.500 You know very well that the inevitable is coming. 123 00:17:50.520 --> 00:17:55.930 Only then will the sleeping virgins awake and realize that the end has come. 124 00:17:57.020 --> 00:18:04.620 And only then it will be understood that the Bridegroom must come — otherwise no one would be saved. 125 00:18:05.270 --> 00:18:06.970 Don’t lose your faith! 126 00:18:08.320 --> 00:18:12.240 It is faith that overcomes the world. 127 00:18:12.860 --> 00:18:21.200 May no one, in these days of the final stretch of our Christian race, take your crown or mine. 128 00:18:23.550 --> 00:18:27.360 That’s the state of peace in Europe right now. 129 00:18:28.870 --> 00:18:32.180 And what about peace in the Middle East? 130 00:18:33.910 --> 00:18:39.600 "Peace in the Middle East." These images went around the world. 131 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:46.780 Here we see Trump in Israel, speaking before the Israeli Parliament — the Knesset. 132 00:18:48.220 --> 00:18:58.090 And right after that, the journey continued to Sharm el-Sheikh, to sign a peace decree for the Middle East. 133 00:18:59.270 --> 00:19:00.770 How did this come about? 134 00:19:01.900 --> 00:19:11.000 Here you see a table with dates showing how everything led up to October 13, 2025. 135 00:19:11.790 --> 00:19:15.274 The living hostages were released by Hamas; 136 00:19:15.284 --> 00:19:26.700 Palestinians and Israelis rejoiced, and Trump didn’t even receive the Nobel Peace Prize for it — even though he supposedly ended eight wars. 137 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:36.340 How long did that peace in the Middle East last? Until October 19. 138 00:19:37.650 --> 00:19:46.550 Two Israeli soldiers were killed, and in response, Israel bombed Gaza again, killing 26 people. 139 00:19:47.350 --> 00:19:53.620 Then on October 20, it was announced that Israel would resume the ceasefire. 140 00:19:55.250 --> 00:20:00.020 Well — all very fragile and unstable in the Middle East. 141 00:20:02.080 --> 00:20:08.850 "Peace and safety" is on everyone’s lips — but destruction follows quickly. 142 00:20:09.620 --> 00:20:11.080 Don’t be deceived! 143 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:17.800 The spark that will ignite the destruction of the second woe is right at the door. 144 00:20:18.690 --> 00:20:31.208 And whoever survives that but does not belong to God’s people will, inevitably, have to endure the third woe — which we expect in December, 145 00:20:31.218 --> 00:20:34.540 after the great ascension in heaven. 146 00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:37.210 Once again, a quick note: 147 00:20:37.570 --> 00:20:46.880 In the next video, we’ll present an additional update regarding the earthly events ahead of us. 148 00:20:47.760 --> 00:20:59.604 You’ll be amazed at what comes out when you look at the texts and timelines of the two witnesses not only from the 149 00:20:59.614 --> 00:21:11.240 heavenly Orion-witness perspective — as we’ve done so far — but also from the earthly perspective of the Cross. 150 00:21:12.710 --> 00:21:19.820 It doesn’t change the overall result, because witnesses are meant to testify of the same thing. 151 00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:29.140 But additional dates will become clear — dates that will help us for the coming few weeks up to December. 152 00:21:31.010 --> 00:21:37.820 After this news update, we’ll move directly into today’s main topic. 153 00:21:38.430 --> 00:21:42.020 And that topic is: "The Bride Makes Herself Ready." 154 00:21:42.800 --> 00:21:48.878 You know that we are now in the time of the final harvest — when it will become 155 00:21:48.888 --> 00:21:54.110 evident who belongs to the good wheat and who belongs to the tares. 156 00:21:54.850 --> 00:22:01.733 It will also become clear whether there will still be good grapes — that is, 157 00:22:01.743 --> 00:22:07.620 martyrs who will not deny God and will yet lay down their lives. 158 00:22:08.540 --> 00:22:18.200 And ultimately, it will be revealed who simply refused to accept Jesus and will be trodden in the winepress at the Cross. 159 00:22:18.910 --> 00:22:28.760 As an overview, we look at chapter 19 of Revelation, since we’ve already used several verses from it in previous videos. 160 00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:34.550 This chapter can roughly be divided into four sections. 161 00:22:34.890 --> 00:22:40.540 The first section begins with the words "And after these things." 162 00:22:41.360 --> 00:22:44.690 The others each begin with "And I saw." 163 00:22:45.670 --> 00:22:52.090 This wording always shows us that John saw another theme in vision. 164 00:22:53.450 --> 00:22:58.960 Let’s look at part 3 — the angel standing in the sun. 165 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:09.383 We already know the comet C/2025 K1 — whom he represents, what he and his demons proclaim, 166 00:23:09.393 --> 00:23:14.700 and how those verses have been fulfilled on earth. 167 00:23:15.510 --> 00:23:17.550 I just spoke about that earlier. 168 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:27.220 Part 2 deals with the rider on the white horse — the descending Jesus. 169 00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:31.961 Because His mediatorial ministry has already ended, 170 00:23:31.971 --> 00:23:40.470 and that’s why 3I/ATLAS appeared in the heavens as the sign of the censer that was thrown down. 171 00:23:41.310 --> 00:23:51.230 This rider on the white horse, in this context, is Sagittarius — the Archer — where 3I/ATLAS was discovered. 172 00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:55.230 We’ve also talked about the armies of heaven that follow Him. 173 00:23:56.030 --> 00:24:01.404 These are the seven special comets that, during these weeks leading up to December, 174 00:24:01.414 --> 00:24:06.130 are reaching either their perihelion or their closest approach to Earth. 175 00:24:07.110 --> 00:24:13.560 And we’ve spoken of the winepress — because Jesus Himself will tread it. 176 00:24:14.580 --> 00:24:26.910 You also know when — around December 19, 2025 — when the blood will rise 1600 furlongs high, up to the star Polis. 177 00:24:27.710 --> 00:24:41.200 Also remember that the name of Jesus, which no one knows but He Himself, points to His unique character — His merit alone. 178 00:24:41.410 --> 00:24:50.340 For only He went through death and hell, or Hades — a symbol of the second death — for our sake. 179 00:24:51.340 --> 00:24:55.120 And when He rose, He came back victoriously. 180 00:24:55.800 --> 00:24:59.180 No one else will ever share that experience. 181 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:11.130 Each of these verses can be seen in Sagittarius — or at the Cross — and we’ve already explained them in one form or another. 182 00:25:12.090 --> 00:25:15.850 Part 4, however, has not yet been covered. 183 00:25:16.660 --> 00:25:18.470 Let’s read these verses: 184 00:25:19.140 --> 00:25:28.260 "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, 185 00:25:28.270 --> 00:25:29.780 and against his army. 186 00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:36.188 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, 187 00:25:36.198 --> 00:25:40.645 with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, 188 00:25:40.655 --> 00:25:42.970 and them that worshipped his image. 189 00:25:43.360 --> 00:25:48.310 These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 190 00:25:48.520 --> 00:26:01.340 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh." 191 00:26:02.320 --> 00:26:07.690 These verses are fulfilled by comet C/2025 R2. 192 00:26:08.550 --> 00:26:19.680 You know — it was discovered in Virgo, near the star Spica, on September 11, and reached its perihelion the very next day. 193 00:26:20.260 --> 00:26:25.310 That was the same time when Charlie Kirk was murdered on September 10. 194 00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:33.428 We said that the appearance of this comet at that particular place — at the wheat bundle 195 00:26:33.438 --> 00:26:40.530 in Virgo’s hand near Spica — could indicate the process of separating good from evil. 196 00:26:41.770 --> 00:26:53.610 If you follow the path of this comet, it reaches the Cross on the true Christmas Day and continues on toward Pisces. 197 00:26:56.140 --> 00:26:58.496 Now, around the Cross, 198 00:26:58.506 --> 00:27:07.122 we find the two entities mentioned in the text — the beast and the false prophet 199 00:27:07.132 --> 00:27:15.092 — which are then symbolically carried by R2 toward the region of the sea, 200 00:27:15.102 --> 00:27:18.090 from Capricornus to Pisces. 201 00:27:19.350 --> 00:27:22.620 We’ll learn more about this process in the next video. 202 00:27:24.150 --> 00:27:30.540 By then, the birds will have been filled, as the final verse says. 203 00:27:31.630 --> 00:27:43.880 You know what that means — the flying objects, whether bombers or missiles, will have delivered their deadly payload, to put it mildly. 204 00:27:46.560 --> 00:27:57.280 But for today, let’s look at the first part of this chapter — the one that begins with "And after these things." 205 00:27:58.110 --> 00:27:59.290 What came before that? 206 00:27:59.930 --> 00:28:08.020 The fall of Babylon in Revelation 18 — during the well-known three hours that we keep finding on the timeline. 207 00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:20.760 In the first verses, we find a mighty song of praise from heaven, looking back on those three hours. 208 00:28:21.940 --> 00:28:34.404 At the end of those hours — after the battle of Armageddon — Jesus will be victorious, and therefore He will also take up His reign, 209 00:28:34.414 --> 00:28:38.558 as verse 6 affirms again in the past tense, 210 00:28:38.568 --> 00:28:39.880 looking back. 211 00:28:41.320 --> 00:28:54.810 So this victory in the final battle must be expected in December — when Babylon lies in ashes and Jesus begins to tread the winepress. 212 00:28:55.750 --> 00:29:04.064 At that time in December, something else will also happen — namely the events described in verses 7 and 8, 213 00:29:04.074 --> 00:29:08.770 which are of immense importance for the rest of this video. 214 00:29:09.390 --> 00:29:12.380 Let’s read them: 215 00:29:12.380 --> 00:29:24.990 "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 216 00:29:26.180 --> 00:29:39.500 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints." 217 00:29:41.140 --> 00:29:46.270 Who is the Bridegroom? Who—or what—is the Bride? 218 00:29:47.120 --> 00:29:50.960 And how does this change of clothing take place? 219 00:29:52.330 --> 00:29:55.430 Let’s first read from Matthew, chapter 9: 220 00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:06.380 "Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? 221 00:30:07.190 --> 00:30:22.560 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast." 222 00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:33.870 From an earthly perspective, Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, became man. 223 00:30:34.970 --> 00:30:41.450 He came to this earth to the people who were waiting for the promised Messiah. 224 00:30:42.830 --> 00:30:51.010 He was crucified on May 25 in the year 31, as we showed especially in the last video. 225 00:30:52.190 --> 00:30:56.580 Until that time, Jesus was literally among men. 226 00:30:57.420 --> 00:31:04.590 It is clear who, on a human level, the Bridegroom is — the man Jesus Christ. 227 00:31:05.070 --> 00:31:15.180 But what does it look like when we lift our eyes to the heavens? Let’s read again from the well-known Psalm 19: 228 00:31:16.890 --> 00:31:22.850 "Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. 229 00:31:24.090 --> 00:31:39.180 In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race." 230 00:31:40.380 --> 00:31:48.870 The sun runs its course — the ecliptic — and the sun is a symbol of the Bridegroom. 231 00:31:50.330 --> 00:31:58.370 All this is nothing new, but it’s extremely important for today’s video to have these definitions clear. 232 00:32:00.250 --> 00:32:02.790 So who, then, is the Bride? 233 00:32:03.790 --> 00:32:06.920 Paul answers from an earthly point of view: 234 00:32:09.270 --> 00:32:18.660 "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it. 235 00:32:19.180 --> 00:32:37.610 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." 236 00:32:39.690 --> 00:32:43.400 And in 2 Corinthians 11 it says: 237 00:32:44.320 --> 00:32:57.020 "For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ." 238 00:32:58.210 --> 00:33:09.290 The Bride is the pure Church — made up of barley, wheat, and good grapes, to stay within the harvest imagery. 239 00:33:11.040 --> 00:33:14.870 Then what is the Bride when we look at the firmament? 240 00:33:16.210 --> 00:33:20.310 The sun represents the Bridegroom — that we already know. 241 00:33:21.190 --> 00:33:28.210 Let’s read the short story in the Bible where Joseph told one of his dreams to his family: 242 00:33:30.080 --> 00:33:39.384 "And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; 243 00:33:39.394 --> 00:33:46.080 and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. 244 00:33:47.050 --> 00:33:59.240 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? 245 00:33:59.970 --> 00:34:09.790 Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?" 246 00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:23.044 Jacob understood perfectly that the sun represented the man — himself in this case — the moon represented his wife, 247 00:34:23.054 --> 00:34:27.460 and the stars represented Joseph’s brothers. 248 00:34:28.460 --> 00:34:38.190 There was no doubt in Jacob’s mind that the sun and moon stood for man and woman — for bridegroom and bride. 249 00:34:39.870 --> 00:34:44.320 Let’s also read from the creation account on the fourth day: 250 00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:53.675 "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; 251 00:34:53.685 --> 00:34:59.470 and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. 252 00:34:59.990 --> 00:35:06.890 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 253 00:35:07.590 --> 00:35:17.440 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." 254 00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:26.800 For us as humans, these lights are decisive — the sun and the moon. 255 00:35:27.520 --> 00:35:33.330 The moon itself cannot shine, but it reflects the light of the sun. 256 00:35:34.510 --> 00:35:42.930 Just as a Christian does not shine by himself, but is to reflect Christ and His glorious character. 257 00:35:44.570 --> 00:35:52.680 It is unmistakable that, when we look at the heavens, the moon represents the Bride. 258 00:35:54.490 --> 00:35:55.950 Now it gets serious. 259 00:35:56.930 --> 00:36:07.900 We read earlier that the Bride should have no "spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." 260 00:36:09.690 --> 00:36:14.500 And what did we read about the Bride in Revelation 19? 261 00:36:15.680 --> 00:36:26.720 "And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints." 262 00:36:28.560 --> 00:36:33.180 The moon is a fitting picture for us Christians. 263 00:36:33.770 --> 00:36:46.990 Look at the moon — it’s scarred, full of craters, marked with many dark spots, and it does not shine by itself. 264 00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:51.900 It’s an apt image of our sinful life journey. 265 00:36:52.560 --> 00:36:59.570 Before we found Christ, we humans had done pretty much everything wrong — at least many of us. 266 00:37:00.550 --> 00:37:05.600 And that left scars, traces, and craters in our lives. 267 00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:17.110 And even with Christ, as baptized and converted Christians, we still struggle with sin. 268 00:37:18.200 --> 00:37:23.840 Though we fall, repent, and rise again, the next day something else goes wrong. 269 00:37:24.810 --> 00:37:33.060 Sometimes we’re like a waxing moon or a full moon — very close to Christ, reflecting Him well. 270 00:37:34.110 --> 00:37:48.190 On other days, we’re in battle — like a waning moon, or even a dark astronomical new moon when the moon can’t be seen at all. 271 00:37:49.330 --> 00:37:53.540 We feel abandoned by God on those days — though He is still there. 272 00:37:55.190 --> 00:38:04.510 It’s a constant up-and-down in our lives — just like the relationship between the sun and the moon. 273 00:38:06.570 --> 00:38:11.500 I think you understand perfectly how the moon describes the Christian Church. 274 00:38:13.260 --> 00:38:22.920 The fact is: we need Christ’s righteousness in order to stand as the spotless Bride in the end. 275 00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:32.790 And that robe is granted to us, as we read in Revelation 19:8. 276 00:38:32.990 --> 00:38:40.850 It reminds me of Jesus’ words: "Ask, and it shall be given you." 277 00:38:42.170 --> 00:38:47.315 Especially in these days, on the final stretch, 278 00:38:47.325 --> 00:38:58.810 don’t forget to ask Jesus earnestly to grant you and me this pure garment of His righteousness by grace. 279 00:39:03.170 --> 00:39:10.780 I think I don’t need to explain this image any further for us as the Church on earth. 280 00:39:11.460 --> 00:39:16.600 But now, let’s look up to the heavens and turn to Revelation again. 281 00:39:17.550 --> 00:39:20.980 There, the Bride is compared with the Holy City. 282 00:39:21.763 --> 00:39:22.790 Let’s read: 283 00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:32.030 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 284 00:39:32.640 --> 00:39:46.140 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." 285 00:39:48.620 --> 00:40:01.110 The Holy City—the New Jerusalem—is therefore also a picture of a beautifully adorned Bride that descends from heaven after the Millennium. 286 00:40:03.610 --> 00:40:08.950 Later, in Revelation 21, we find even more details: 287 00:40:09.910 --> 00:40:22.479 "And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, 288 00:40:22.489 --> 00:40:23.707 Come hither, 289 00:40:23.717 --> 00:40:26.353 I will shew thee the bride, 290 00:40:26.363 --> 00:40:27.960 the Lamb's wife. 291 00:40:29.290 --> 00:40:55.390 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal." 292 00:40:56.910 --> 00:40:58.910 Which angel is this? 293 00:41:00.560 --> 00:41:13.615 After what I’m going to reveal in this video—something we recognized after August 18—it could only have been the seventh-plague angel, 294 00:41:13.625 --> 00:41:19.460 the one who acted in the Mazzaroth and went out from Orion. 295 00:41:19.860 --> 00:41:28.440 We are right now in the time period of the seventh plague; its verses are even marked on the timeline shown at the beginning. 296 00:41:29.260 --> 00:41:35.010 Who was the actor in the Mazzaroth for this plague angel? The moon. 297 00:41:37.110 --> 00:41:51.450 So, after the moon had poured out the plague upon Jupiter—the air—on August 19, it was free to reveal the mystery of the Bride. 298 00:41:53.640 --> 00:41:56.820 The time for this revelation had come. 299 00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:09.660 Here in this verse we clearly see that the woman, the Bride of the Lamb, is the Holy City—the New Jerusalem. 300 00:42:10.810 --> 00:42:15.860 And she is magnificently bright to look at, crystal clear. 301 00:42:16.660 --> 00:42:22.230 Read this chapter for yourselves—especially in light of the insight that now follows. 302 00:42:23.450 --> 00:42:25.170 But now we have a problem. 303 00:42:26.270 --> 00:42:35.810 We clearly have the moon as a symbol of the woman, yet at this moment she is not yet clothed in fine, spotless linen. 304 00:42:37.890 --> 00:42:49.310 And on the other hand, we read here that the Bride is the gloriously adorned Holy City, the New Jerusalem—already radiant in perfection. 305 00:42:49.830 --> 00:42:52.680 So how can we reconcile this? 306 00:42:52.990 --> 00:42:58.250 When does this change of garments take place, as we read in Revelation 19? 307 00:42:59.010 --> 00:43:06.290 Let’s look at a short clip from the video "Armageddon and the Second Woe." 308 00:43:07.300 --> 00:43:11.280 There we already gave a pretty strong hint: 309 00:43:15.380 --> 00:43:19.280 "There’s something you should know about the holy city and the moon. 310 00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:36.423 Because of the moon’s importance, we once calculated—just out of curiosity—whether the holy city, using the measurements from Revelation, 311 00:43:36.433 --> 00:43:39.187 would fit inside the moon, 312 00:43:39.197 --> 00:43:44.510 since there are some ideas and theories about that. 313 00:43:44.980 --> 00:43:50.290 And once again, I asked ChatGPT to run the calculation again. 314 00:43:51.580 --> 00:44:04.290 Some claim that the holy city is a cube, while Elijah, in his remarkable book about the holy city, discovered that it must be a pyramid. 315 00:44:06.060 --> 00:44:22.070 Either way, only the pyramid—with a side length of 12,000 stadia, which equals 2,218 kilometers—would fit inside the moon. 316 00:44:23.370 --> 00:44:34.030 Interesting, isn’t it? After all, people wonder where God will get the stone debris that is to fall upon the earth as hail. 317 00:44:36.990 --> 00:44:48.590 Where will He get it from if NASA hasn’t seen anything like that in space so far? Alright, that’s enough of the speculative hints. 318 00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:54.850 Or wait—there’s one more hint, and it comes from Rome. 319 00:44:55.790 --> 00:45:08.270 Remember that on July 20, Pope Leo visited the Vatican’s own observatory and was very eager to look into the heavens. 320 00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:20.820 It’s reported that he showed great interest in observing the sky—especially the moon. Does he know something that many others do not? 321 00:45:22.290 --> 00:45:30.320 There’s more that could be said about this, but soon we will see why he showed such interest in the moon. 322 00:45:32.180 --> 00:45:40.220 One thing is certain. In the Vatican, we may assume—putting it politely—that Satan is present. 323 00:45:41.770 --> 00:45:50.490 The Pope knows full well that the adversary has but little time, right? 324 00:45:51.590 --> 00:45:58.570 And 3I/ATLAS is what the Serpent Bearer wants to cover up, as we learned today. 325 00:45:59.310 --> 00:46:09.740 And when 3I appears, then Satan—and therefore also the Pope—knows that 4I can’t be far behind." 326 00:46:12.150 --> 00:46:16.710 I think by now a lot of things should have become clear. 327 00:46:17.710 --> 00:46:23.240 In the last video, I showed a clip about the inheritance of the redeemed. 328 00:46:24.240 --> 00:46:30.090 We were shown the Holy City as the entire Milky Way Galaxy. 329 00:46:30.690 --> 00:46:37.640 We discovered the great river as the galactic equator—the street of the city as the ecliptic. 330 00:46:39.210 --> 00:46:44.399 We recognize the two tree trunks on either side of the river, 331 00:46:44.409 --> 00:46:52.650 and the fruits and leaves for healing represented in the twelve constellations of the Mazzaroth. 332 00:46:53.850 --> 00:47:00.090 All this is described in the first verses of Revelation 22. 333 00:47:01.500 --> 00:47:11.180 Of course, all the redeemed saints will inhabit and populate this vast heavenly city, 334 00:47:11.190 --> 00:47:18.240 as Brother John described in the book mentioned in the video. 335 00:47:19.380 --> 00:47:30.231 Now it’s clear that the entire Milky Way cannot descend to earth after the Millennium and split the Mount of Olives, 336 00:47:30.241 --> 00:47:38.650 but rather a mighty travelling part of it—with the dimensions described in Revelation 21. 337 00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:45.150 So—a kind of spacecraft in the form of a pyramid. 338 00:47:46.410 --> 00:47:57.250 Where, then, would this travelling part currently be—if we know that this Bride of the Lamb must have something to do with the moon? 339 00:47:59.030 --> 00:48:08.940 That travelling part of the Holy City is, most likely, right before our eyes—and has been for a long time. 340 00:48:09.770 --> 00:48:14.520 The moon—more precisely, the travelling part within the moon. 341 00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:25.240 But remember, the moon still wears its old garment—full of wrinkles and scars, craters and spots. 342 00:48:25.940 --> 00:48:33.990 In Revelation 19 we read, however, that it was given to her—the Bride—to change garments. 343 00:48:34.270 --> 00:48:44.419 Yes, on one hand, this speaks of us—the earthly Church of the Lord Jesus—and on the other, in the heavens, 344 00:48:44.429 --> 00:48:49.110 the moon as the Bride must also change garments. 345 00:48:49.740 --> 00:49:00.130 The stony-gray, blemished garment of the moon, which still covers or hides that travelling part, must be removed. 346 00:49:02.950 --> 00:49:15.010 This change of clothing logically happens in December—at the Cross—among the redeemed of Christ who have accepted Him and His sacrifice. 347 00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:24.155 And the same removal of the old garment also takes place with the moon, which, as we have clearly figured out, 348 00:49:24.165 --> 00:49:27.880 stands as the symbol of the Bride in the heavens. 349 00:49:28.980 --> 00:49:34.870 Maybe that sounds speculative, or for some perhaps even like pure fantasy. 350 00:49:35.770 --> 00:49:38.810 Well, the reasoning so far is biblical. 351 00:49:39.990 --> 00:49:49.410 But is there at least a spark of scientific data that could support what we’ve presented so far? 352 00:49:50.380 --> 00:49:58.890 Here we read: "The moon is hollow? The moon is a hollow spaceship." 353 00:50:01.000 --> 00:50:05.260 "Apollo 12 uncovers a hollow moon." 354 00:50:06.640 --> 00:50:12.320 That’s what several YouTube headlines say when you search for this topic. 355 00:50:14.080 --> 00:50:23.500 Let’s read this info box so you know what was tested during the Apollo 12 and 13 missions. 356 00:50:24.870 --> 00:50:27.470 First, from the Apollo 12 mission: 357 00:50:29.030 --> 00:50:41.349 After the successful landing and return of the astronauts, the lunar module Intrepid was deliberately crashed onto the Moon’s surface, 358 00:50:41.359 --> 00:50:46.130 about 65 km from the Apollo 12 seismometer station. 359 00:50:47.140 --> 00:50:56.491 The seismometers recorded the resulting tremor — and indeed, the Moon "rang" for about 55 minutes, 360 00:50:56.501 --> 00:51:00.880 with clearly recognizable resonance patterns. 361 00:51:02.640 --> 00:51:06.820 Mission scientist Maurice Ewing remarked: 362 00:51:08.640 --> 00:51:15.440 "It is as though someone had struck a bell, leaving it ringing for minutes." 363 00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:22.920 This quote was later often popularized as "The Moon rang like a bell. 364 00:51:25.860 --> 00:51:34.300 Now let’s look at the Apollo 13 mission, which took place a year later, in 1970: 365 00:51:35.540 --> 00:51:43.040 The crew could not land, but NASA used the remaining third rocket stage to repeat the experiment. 366 00:51:44.740 --> 00:51:52.160 It was deliberately directed to crash onto the Moon at a speed of about 2.5 km/s. 367 00:51:53.800 --> 00:52:05.890 The Apollo 12 seismometers again recorded an exceptionally long vibration — more than three hours, confirming the phenomenon. 368 00:52:08.280 --> 00:52:20.075 Other scholars claim there is a roughly 20-mile-thick outer shell and then an interior of about 2, 369 00:52:20.085 --> 00:52:28.380 000 miles that is largely hollow—or at least extremely porous inside. 370 00:52:29.600 --> 00:52:35.379 Well, either way, I don’t want to start a debate over details here, 371 00:52:35.389 --> 00:52:45.902 but it isn’t far-fetched—if you derive it biblically—to conclude that the travelling part is most likely inside the moon, 372 00:52:45.912 --> 00:52:54.010 the one with which the redeemed will travel to the third heaven after the change of garments. 373 00:52:54.710 --> 00:53:07.595 And now it should become clear what must happen—and what also fits biblically with a truly terrible event—when the glorious, pyramidal, 374 00:53:07.605 --> 00:53:14.180 crystal-like travelling part in the moon sheds the gray lunar shell. 375 00:53:15.940 --> 00:53:20.080 Let’s read the final verses of the seventh plague: 376 00:53:21.020 --> 00:53:37.110 "And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great." 377 00:53:37.740 --> 00:53:45.940 Keep in mind: the angel for the seventh plague—represented by the moon—is the one explaining this plague. 378 00:53:46.980 --> 00:53:51.170 Honestly, it gives me chills when I read it like that. 379 00:53:52.730 --> 00:53:54.176 But that’s not all. 380 00:53:54.186 --> 00:54:04.220 You remember that in the video "The Fall of Babylon" I explained the verses of the seventh plague and plotted them on the timeline. 381 00:54:04.770 --> 00:54:08.210 There the second verse says: "It is done." 382 00:54:08.920 --> 00:54:19.480 And we already conveyed that the preparing of the dwelling places for you—and hopefully for me—was completed on August 23. 383 00:54:20.630 --> 00:54:25.800 Now you know, according to this study, where that took place. 384 00:54:27.080 --> 00:54:30.630 At the end of the seventh trumpet we read: 385 00:54:31.420 --> 00:54:45.290 "And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail." 386 00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:53.720 We know where the temple of God is in heaven—namely at the Cross in December. 387 00:54:55.480 --> 00:55:04.120 We are still expecting that dreadful second-woe event during those three hours of the fall of Babylon. 388 00:55:05.040 --> 00:55:08.140 First comes the second woe of the sixth trumpet. 389 00:55:09.200 --> 00:55:19.970 Then comes the third woe of the seventh trumpet in December—and that is the hail of lunar rock fragments. 390 00:55:21.350 --> 00:55:30.200 This is the stoning we have often spoken about in the last videos—one that the Lord Himself will carry out. 391 00:55:31.130 --> 00:55:35.100 Everything culminates in December at the Cross. 392 00:55:35.520 --> 00:55:43.350 There, the most beautiful event for a Christian will take place—namely the first resurrection and the general ascension. 393 00:55:44.250 --> 00:55:50.720 But there, too, comes the hail for those who never accepted Jesus. 394 00:55:52.500 --> 00:55:58.140 Both the seventh plague and the seventh trumpet testify to this. 395 00:55:58.910 --> 00:56:06.690 And now you know, according to this study, where those stones the weight of a talent will come from. 396 00:56:07.450 --> 00:56:13.140 This is also the time of the treading of the winepress. Let’s read it once more: 397 00:56:13.830 --> 00:56:24.740 "And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs." 398 00:56:25.680 --> 00:56:34.149 And this is also the time after the three hours of the fall of Babylon when the voice of the Bridegroom 399 00:56:34.159 --> 00:56:41.220 and the Bride will no longer be heard—because they will have departed shortly before. 400 00:56:41.650 --> 00:56:43.550 Let’s read this verse again as well: 401 00:56:44.390 --> 00:57:02.220 "And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived." 402 00:57:03.350 --> 00:57:10.260 And shortly before that hail, everyone will realize what is happening with the moon. 403 00:57:10.970 --> 00:57:17.260 The children of God will not be troubled by it; rather, they will go out to meet Him. 404 00:57:17.260 --> 00:57:22.550 They are warned, they know the time, and they understand the events. 405 00:57:23.370 --> 00:57:29.610 Others will cry out what is written at the end of the sixth-seal passage: 406 00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:41.589 "And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, 407 00:57:41.599 --> 00:57:42.963 and every free man, 408 00:57:42.973 --> 00:57:47.220 hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains. 409 00:57:47.660 --> 00:57:55.298 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, 410 00:57:55.308 --> 00:57:57.540 and from the wrath of the Lamb. 411 00:57:58.330 --> 00:58:04.340 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" 412 00:58:05.990 --> 00:58:14.399 We now know that it will very likely not be an asteroid impact—though that, too, 413 00:58:14.409 --> 00:58:21.968 could be "hail from heaven"—but rather the soon-to-shatter lunar shell, 414 00:58:21.978 --> 00:58:26.172 which will thereby release the immense, 415 00:58:26.182 --> 00:58:33.320 expected fourth interstellar object that we need for the third woe. 416 00:58:35.200 --> 00:58:46.240 When 4I is sighted, the fear—and the third woe of the hail—will logically begin. 417 00:58:47.770 --> 00:58:57.470 That travelling section will then, of course, journey to the third heaven and, after the Millennium, descend from heaven once more. 418 00:58:58.340 --> 00:59:03.250 Once again: browse through that fascinating book introduced in the clip. 419 00:59:05.350 --> 00:59:13.920 Even if all this sounds unimaginable, this study is, in our view, quite coherently derived. 420 00:59:14.950 --> 00:59:24.310 If anyone can interpret all these verses differently, please write to us and present another complete interpretation of the passages. 421 00:59:25.330 --> 00:59:29.420 For our part, we don’t want to withhold our findings from you. 422 00:59:31.280 --> 00:59:36.060 Once more I’m using this slide to close the video. 423 00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:44.330 We can do no more than warn—and call you to take hold of Jesus’ hand. 424 00:59:45.230 --> 00:59:53.296 Just recently I heard again that many Christians do not understand the two crucial 425 00:59:53.306 --> 01:00:00.870 timelines in Daniel 8 and 9—the 2300 evenings and mornings and the 70 weeks. 426 01:00:02.750 --> 01:00:07.136 Many Christians are looking to Israel these days, 427 01:00:07.146 --> 01:00:17.430 because they think this peace maneuvering and this covenant among powers in the Middle East points to Daniel 9:27. 428 01:00:18.590 --> 01:00:22.460 Perhaps there is a secondary, modern application. 429 01:00:23.490 --> 01:00:37.910 But one thing is certain: there is a classical application that enabled the contemporaries of Jesus to identify Him as the Messiah. 430 01:00:38.930 --> 01:00:42.330 All it takes is a simple calculation—nothing more. 431 01:00:43.760 --> 01:01:00.010 From ordinary history lessons one can know that Artaxerxes’ decree to rebuild Jerusalem was given in 457 Before Christ. 432 01:01:01.980 --> 01:01:19.280 Add 70 weeks—or 490 years—and the end of those 70 weeks is AD 34, if you do it correctly, because there is no year zero. 433 01:01:20.370 --> 01:01:23.590 Anyone can perform this simple calculation. 434 01:01:25.040 --> 01:01:38.450 This 70th week logically spans seven years—and thus falls from AD 27 to AD 34. 435 01:01:40.270 --> 01:01:48.080 And in AD 27 Jesus was baptized, and with that His public ministry officially began. 436 01:01:48.960 --> 01:01:50.600 Protestants know all this. 437 01:01:51.040 --> 01:02:05.963 And in the midst of that week, sacrifice and offering ceased, because Jesus died for us in the spring of AD 31 on the Cross, 438 01:02:05.973 --> 01:02:11.860 and the temple veil was torn from top to bottom. 439 01:02:13.090 --> 01:02:23.740 No ceremonial sacrifices were needed any longer—and no red heifer is needed to inaugurate a third physical temple. 440 01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:37.740 This simple, classical calculation should remove—yes, I repeat—every doubt, both among Christians and among Jews. 441 01:02:40.090 --> 01:02:45.502 Can this people still be provoked to jealousy, as Paul says, 442 01:02:45.512 --> 01:02:53.260 when they are the ones who attached a curse to the reader of this prophecy in Daniel? 443 01:02:55.510 --> 01:03:05.020 This is plainly THE prophecy that points directly—and precisely—to Jesus. 444 01:03:05.670 --> 01:03:13.344 And it is exactly this Jesus whom we presented in the last video with the 1600 furlongs 445 01:03:13.354 --> 01:03:19.960 indicating the height of His Cross at that special place in the Mazzaroth. 446 01:03:21.250 --> 01:03:35.410 The Son of the living God came down from heaven and, by His unique sacrifice on the Cross, reconciled with His Father those who receive Him. 447 01:03:36.760 --> 01:03:51.880 And only through Him—and through His righteousness—does a person gain access to the Tree of Life and may enter the Holy City. 448 01:03:53.410 --> 01:03:55.750 Only through Jesus Christ. 449 01:03:57.280 --> 01:04:04.210 I hope this brief excursion into the book of Daniel has opened some eyes. 450 01:04:04.960 --> 01:04:15.640 I also hope that the content of our videos will help many to avoid having to endure the dreadful hail of the third woe. 451 01:04:16.810 --> 01:04:25.340 Come to Jesus and keep His pure, unaltered commandments out of love for Him. 452 01:04:26.760 --> 01:04:32.160 Please wake up and proclaim everywhere that the Bridegroom is coming. 453 01:04:33.030 --> 01:04:36.430 Do not be afraid when the Bride changes her garment. 454 01:04:38.060 --> 01:04:42.600 Go out fearlessly to meet Him—for you are prepared. 455 01:04:43.960 --> 01:04:46.170 God’s blessings. Amen.
