So, after 12 days of war, Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire, brokered or imposed by America's Donald Trump. It is assessed that Iran's nuclear weapons programme has been set back by several months if not years. However, there has been no regime change in Iran, and Iran has vowed to replenish its missiles and to resume the fight at some point.
Trump is now also pushing Israel to accept a ceasefire in Gaza, and to do a deal with Hamas to set free the remaining hostages.
ISIS, for its part, is now resurging in Syria and to a lesser extent also in Iraq. There was a terrorist bombing of a church in Syria recently, and ISIS gunmen are continuing to clash with Kurdish SDF in the desert areas of Syria. Despite this, there has been no news of the Antichrist - of course, I am assuming that I am correct about Abdullah Qardash.
What to make of all this? Well, because the covenant with many has not yet happened, it looks like we are 7 or more years from the end. That means, at least another 3.5 years until the Antichrist stands up.
Given that we are at least 7 years away from the end, I examined the next 4 blood moons to see if there is something to it. Sure enough, the next 4 blood moons will occur in 2032 and 2033, exactly 7 to 8 years from now.
The Bible prophesies that before the end there will be signs in the heavens: specifically, the moon will turned into blood and the sun into darkness.
And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
Joel 2:30-31
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon [blood moons], and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Luke 21:25-27
According to astronomers, in the 21st Century, there will be 8 total lunar eclipse tetrads, in other words 8 occurrences of 4 blood moons. Between the years 1582 and 1908, there was none. But between 2001 and 2100, there will be 8 in all. The first one of the 21st Century happened in 2003 and 2004. The second happened in 2014 and 2015. That one was noticeably special because all 4 blood moons occurred on Jewish holy days or feasts - 2 on Passover and 2 on Sukkot. The third and next one will be 2032 and 2033. For the third, 3 of the 4 will occur on Jewish holy days or feasts - 1 on Passover, 1 on Pesach Sheni, second-chance Passover, and 1 on Sukkot. What is also interesting about the next one is that the year 2033 is quite possibly the 2000th anniversary of the death and resurrection of the Son of man Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ was 30 years old when he was baptised (ref. Luke 3:23). The Bible also says that that year was the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar (ref. Luke 3:1). We know from historians that Tiberius' reign started in 14 AD. So, Jesus Christ must have begun his ministry in 29 AD. The Bible also says that Jesus Christ attended 3 or 4 Passovers (ref. John 2:13, 2:23; John 6:4; John 11:55; John 12:1). This suggests 33 AD was most likely the year of the crucifixion. So, 33 AD and 2033 AD, a gap of exactly 2000 years! Anyway, that was the third tetrad. The fourth tetrad will be in 2043 and 2044. The fifth in 2050 and 2051. The sixth in 2061 and 2062. The seventh in 2072 and 2073. And finally, the eighth will be in 2090 and 2091.
Notice with the year 2091, the numbers 9 and 1 occur. I think, this points to Psalms 91. Now, the difference in years between the second and third lunar tetrads is exactly 19: ie. 2033 minus 2014. The number 19 again contains the numbers 9 and 1. Regarding Psalms 91, there is a part that goes "the terror by night" - the night being the tribulation of these last days, a time when demons are here on earth, running amok and causing all manner of criminal insanity, and also a time of Islamic terrorism. I surmise, the "night" goes for 19 years.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night...
Psalms 91:5
Remember, ISIS started in the year 2014, the same year of the second of the 4 blood moons of the 21st Century. So, if ISIS is something that is to exist between 2014 and 2033, because it will be destroyed at the time of the Second Coming, it is to last for exactly 19 years. This is the significance of the numbers 1 and 9, and Psalms 91.
Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them. There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
Nahum 3:18-19
Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
Nahum 2:13
Now, it is very interesting that the 2 blood moons in 2033, of the tetrad of 2032 and 2033, will both be completely visible in Jerusalem. More than that, in 2033, there will also be a total solar eclipse and then another partial solar eclipse. So, in that particular year, from the perspective of Jerusalem, "the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood", exactly as the prophecy of Joel 2:31 reads, which makes it all the more remarkable.
This is why I now think 2033 is quite possibly the year of the Second Coming.
Now, consider Hosea 6:2, "After 2 days will he revive us..."
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Hosea 6:1-2
In 2 Peter 3:8, the Bible says, a day is like a thousand years.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2 Peter 3:8
So, Hosea 6:2 seems to be saying that Jesus Christ will come to redeem and save both Judah and Israel, after 2000 years. Thus begins the kingdom of God, and the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ, during which time Judah and Israel will live in his sight, and both will be, to some extent, exalted or raised up.
Suppose for now that 2033 is the year of the day of the LORD, the time of the seventh trumpet and vial. That means, 3.5 years before that must be 2029, and so 2029 will be the year of the abomination of desolation and also the year that the Antichrist will resurface and begin his reign of 42 months.
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Revelation 13:5
Right now, militarily, Israel feels triumphant. One Israeli Christian evangelist has even described Israel as an emerging "superpower", at least in the Middle East. Ever since October 7, Israel has more or less defeated Hamas, Hezbollah, Assad's Syria, to some extent the Houthis, and now also to some extent Iran. Therefore, this seems to be the right time for the covenant with many to be confirmed, and even the time that Israel sets up a temple of God on the Temple Mount, something that must happen prophetically and happen before the start of the final 42 months. To be sure, it might still be some months away, but not more than a year.
Logically, there must be a temple of God on the Temple Mount before the Antichrist can stand up and blaspheme God and blaspheme "his tabernacle" - tabernacle as in a temple.
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Revelation 13:6
Furthermore, there must be a temple of God before the midpoint so that the "man of sin" and "the son of perdition", who is another antichrist, namely the king of Babylon, can enter into and sit in "the temple of God", showing himself and the spirit that is with him that he is God.
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him [the reaping of the saints], That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
