This morning in Victoria Australia, at 2:11 am, there was a short 5.0 magnitude earthquake near the regional town of Colac at a depth of 7 km (ref. 1). According to Geoscience Australia, it lasted only for a second or two (ref. 2). And then at 5:44 am, which is exactly 3.5 hours later, a 3.6 (ref. 1) or most probably 3.5 (ref. 2, 3) magnitude aftershock happened at Apollo Bay. 3.5 points to a time and times and half a time, an apocalyptic concept.
Apparently, thousands of residents in the state of Victoria felt the earthquake. And it was felt as far north as Bendigo and as far south as King Island around Tasmania (ref. 2). No injuries were reported.
But, for some reason, nothing shook where I was located.
What is the significance of this?
First, “Colac” is Aboriginal for either “fresh water” or “sand”. Second, “Apollo” in Greek means “the destroyer”.
Not sure what to make of “fresh water” but according to some Hebrew scholars, in Job 29:18, the KJV’s “sand” can be read as “phoenix”.
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem… And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth. Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand [some translate, “phoenix”].
Job 29:14-18
In Job 29, Job is recalling that in his youth, he was a soldier and even a chief, as if a king in an army (ref. Job 29:25).
Anyway, a phoenix is an occult construct.
As for “the destroyer”, there are 2 possibilities.
First, I suppose, it can be read to mean Isaiah 54:16, which the KJV translates as “the waster” but other Bible versions translate as “the destroyer”.
Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster [“mashit”, “the destroyer”] to destroy.
Isaiah 54:16
The Hebrew “mashit” for “the waster” in Isaiah 54:16 is the same Hebrew in Exodus 12:23, which the KJV translates as “the destroyer”.
For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer [“mashit”] to come in unto your houses to smite you.
Exodus 12:23
Whereas Isaiah 54:16 refers to a saint, Exodus 12:23 presumably refers to an angel, as in the angel of the LORD that killed all the firstborn of Egypt on the night of the Passover.
For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
Exodus 12:12
The problem with this interpretation of “the destroyer” is that Apollo in Greek mythology is the son of Zeus and the twin brother of Diana aka Artemis, who is associated with the moon. The moon is connected to Islam, and Zeus is supposed to be Lucifer.
This brings me to the second possibility.
If Apollo is read as having something to do with the Devil, then the number 3.5 is significant, because 3.5 years is the amount of time that the Assyrian will be given in these last days (ref. Revelation 12:14, Revelation 13:5). Technically, the Assyrian will also be a kind of destroyer. He is an axe that is to cut down the trees that cannot produce good fruit (ref. Isaiah 10:15).
Suppose sand is to be read as phoenix, putting all of that together – sand (phoenix), evil destroyer, and the number 3.5 – I think the message is that the phoenix is associated with the Devil.
The alternative – sand literally, the waster, and the number 3.5 – seems meaningless. There is no point to the word sand and the number 3.5 does not fit. Even if it were fresh water instead of sand, it would still not make sense.
Originally, I had thought that the phoenix was a concept linked to the occult because of Harry Potter and all that, but then Mulan (2020) which features China’s version of the phoenix confused me. Since then, it has occurred to me that Mulan (2020) was a ruse from the other side. In Mulan (2020), there is a scene where the witch says to Mulan, “We are the same”. I dismissed it as a queen of heaven and bride of Christ symmetry thing, and did not think much of it. Now I am certain that Mulan (2020) is trying to push the idea of a phoenix.
So, if the concept of a phoenix is from the Devil, I think, this sign makes the point that contrary to what the Devil imagines, the waster of Isaiah 54:16 is not supposed to be some sort of reincarnation or phoenix of the Assyrian. In other words, one destroyer is quite different from the other: one is evil and the other is good.
Whether I have read this sign correctly or not, I am sure this sign did come from heaven because today’s earthquake in Colac struck at 2:11 am, probably precisely at 2:11:01, as in Luke 21:11.
And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Luke 21:11
