Haiti and Chile, Signs of God to the world?

 

Recently while teaching the Introduction to the New Testament course and discussing how the apostle John presents in his gospel the works of Jesus in exactly seven miracles, which the apostle calls signs, the Lord led me to compare the purpose of the seventh sign – the resurrection of Lazarus from the dead – with the purpose for our time of two recent events that caught everyone’s attention in 2010. I am referring to the earthquake in Haiti, on January 12, and the confinement and eventual rescue of the 33 miners in the San José mine, in Chile, on October 13 of that same year.

Although the apostle acknowledges that the deeds of Jesus were so many that “if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written“,[1] he only highlights seven miracles-signs of them.

The apostle presents these seven signs as if they were seven great lessons, as in Genesis the seven days of Creation are presented, and he highlights from each of them how God establishes with signs His methodology of operation in the midst of the times. The signs are not chosen at random, they were duly selected as part of a school of teaching of which His gospel is the textbook.

The story itself discovers the teachings and purposes of each sign. In chapter one, in the presentation of the person of Jesus, it reads: “and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,”[2]

In chapter 2, when he begins to relate the work of Jesus’ ministry, John notes: “This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory.”[3] Then, again, in chapter 4, when it refers to the healing of the son of the nobleman, the second miracle described again highlights the order of the signs: “This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.”[4]

The whole book of John has this emphasis of emphasizing that although He does not seek His own Glory, the signs establish His Glory as sent from the Father.

  1. John 5.41 I receive not honour from men.
  2. John 5.44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
  3. John 7.18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
  4. John 8.50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
  5. John 8.54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
  6. John 9.24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
  7. John 11.4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
  8. John 11.40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
  9. John 12.41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
  10. John 12.43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
  11. John 17.5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
  12. John 17.22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
  13. John 17.24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

Therefore, and concluding on the value of signs in John’s gospel, Jesus’ miracles lead the reader to discover unwritten protocols of spiritual execution. Miracles are signs; they are forms of the revelation of the spiritual processes of the Kingdom on earth, indispensable forms of interpretation to understand the work of God in the midst of the times.

The seventh sign of John’s Gospel is aimed at discovering who God’s chosen ones are, and how they should understand the Kingdom through what happens around them. The teaching is aimed at the reader to understand that everything is a sign from God, everything is a lesson. Of course, in order to understand it, God’s chosen must remove everything that belongs to their personal interests because a personal interpretation of the situation they face is a counterweight, and stands in the way of the interpretation and implementation of the Word. The Chosen cannot highlight the adversity of their experiences and classify them as “misfortune”. The expression, “Didn’t I tell you that if you want to believe, you will see the glory of God?” shows us that even adverse things establish the Glory of God.

In all that God does on the face of the world, there is a mystery revealed to mark, measure and execute the agenda of His times. God marks the times of execution of His plans through signs.

So, when God led me to compare this seventh sign with the events of the earthquake in Haiti and the captivity of the miners in the San José mine in Chile, He is showing me that there is an urgency in the Kingdom to prophetically awaken a believing people who have not realized the value of having been called chosen lineage.[5]

The earthquake in Haiti and the captivity of the miners have several particular and common characteristics, which by the Spirit of the prophecy that blows in all our regions establish signs of interpretation for us. Two characteristics stand out from these two events that constitute them as a sign to the whole world.

Both disasters captured the world’s attention.

The presence in the country of so many world-renowned personalities was extraordinary and far beyond what an earthquake has meant for other regions.

In the case of Haiti, former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Busch visited the country and set up a community aid fund. Film artists, world-renowned personalities moved and visited the island, and some stayed for a long time. All these visits moved the world’s attention to Haiti.

The presence of so many world personalities that Haiti received does not compare to the magnitude of the earthquake, other regions were impacted by earthquakes of equal or greater magnitude and never received such number of world visits. There is only one explanation to all this world attention about Haiti: It is God’s spiritual act of presenting to the whole of humanity a signal to warn of His executions on earth.

The same thing happened with Chile, the event was followed by several television networks, and the press coverage was worldwide. It is estimated that 1300 million people saw the live transmission of the rescue of the miners. TV personalities, such as the case of the animator and presenter Don Francisco, who transmitted from the San José mine.  The mentions of the president of the United States, Barack Obama, in a communiqué distributed by the White House by sending them a greeting the day before their rescue; the mentions of the pope in turn Benedict XVI, on September 2nd; and those of the Dominican singer Juan Luis Guerra on September 3rd, who in his Twitter account invited to pray for the 33 miners.

And so, in the same way were joined Spanish football teams and players such as David Villa; writers of the caliber of Isabel Allende, who with her participation turned the world’s attention to the 33 miners rescued. To date, two films have been filmed about the rescue of the miners.

All this interest obeys, once again, to a spiritual and prophetic operation of God to mark the whole world a sign of the times so that all may know how to place themselves before Him. It is the Glory of the Almighty that is settling on the earth as prophesied by the prophet Habakkuk: “The earth shall be full of knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.[6]

Both the epicenter of the Haiti earthquake and the San Jose mine are located on the same geographic longitude.

The coordinates of the epicenter of the earthquake in Haiti are: 18° 27′ 05” N / 72° 26′ 42.00″ W. The coordinates of the San Jose mine are: 27° 09′ 37” S / 70° 29′ 48.4″ W. Two degrees of longitude difference that was reduced to zero with the earthquake in Chile on February 27 of the same year.

NASA recently certified that the earth’s axis was moved due to the earthquake in Chile on February 27, causing the difference in coordinates to be nullified and both sites to be located at the same longitude.

Chilean Quake May Have Shortened Earth Days

The Feb. 27 magnitude 8.8 earthquake in Chile may have shortened the length of each Earth day.

JPL research scientist Richard Gross computed how Earth’s rotation should have changed as a result of the Feb. 27 quake. Using a complex model, he and fellow scientists came up with a preliminary calculation that the quake should have shortened the length of an Earth day by about 1.26 microseconds (a microsecond is one millionth of a second).

Perhaps more impressive is how much the quake shifted Earth’s axis. Gross calculates the quake should have moved Earth’s figure axis (the axis about which Earth’s mass is balanced) by 2.7 milliarcseconds (about 8 centimeters, or 3 inches). Earth’s figure axis is not the same as its north-south axis; they are offset by about 10 meters (about 33 feet).

By comparison, Gross said the same model estimated the 2004 magnitude 9.1 Sumatran earthquake should have shortened the length of day by 6.8 microseconds and shifted Earth’s axis by 2.32 milliarcseconds (about 7 centimeters, or 2.76 inches).

Gross said that even though the Chilean earthquake is much smaller than the Sumatran quake, it is predicted to have changed the position of the figure axis by a bit more for two reasons. First, unlike the 2004 Sumatran earthquake, which was located near the equator, the 2010 Chilean earthquake was located in Earth’s mid-latitudes, which makes it more effective in shifting Earth’s figure axis. Second, the fault responsible for the 2010 Chilean earthquake dips into Earth at a slightly steeper angle than does the fault responsible for the 2004 Sumatran earthquake. This makes the Chile fault more effective in moving Earth’s mass vertically and hence more effective in shifting Earth’s figure axis.

Gross said the Chile predictions will likely change as data on the quake are further refined. (Buis, 2010)

Is this a coincidence?  No, it’s not, it’s a sign for our days, just like the signs presented in John’s gospel, which speak mostly to the chosen about the work of the Kingdom on earth.

God is telling us something for our days. The problem is that we can’t see it. I quote two texts that explain why we cannot see it.

Mathew 16:1-3         The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 2He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

John 8:43       Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

In both texts we are required to understand that there are signs of the times, which are the language of God to warn us, to reveal to us some mystery of the Kingdom on earth.

Both events, the earthquake in Haiti and the rescue of the 33 miners in Chile are marking, mainly, the times of the Kingdom, and suggest us how to measure them.

Haiti was the first Latin American nation to become independent (second in America) on January 1st 1804. The earthquake occurred in the same month of its independence, and for Haiti, its independence did not mean political independence, as it was for other Latin American nations, but rather liberation from slavery. In fact, there are records that the way they did it was not by arms, but by using witchcraft, voodoo, as a tool.

Chile, on the other hand, is the last American land to be discovered, Chile was discovered by Diego de Almagro on March 21st, 1536, and he did so by entering the Andes through the Paipote ravine, in the middle of the Copiapó Valley, which he named the Valley of Possession, the same land where the San José mine is located.

The captivity of the miners and their rescue also speaks to us of liberation, but in this case, liberation from death, the miners were literally liberated from certain death, their rescue has been considered a feat, and was like extraditing them from hell itself.

Two countries -Haiti and Chile- two communities with the same common characteristic of poverty, which encloses the entire non-Anglo-Saxon America that was the object of exploitation, slavery, and prostitution, where today their daily work is more a birth of suffering than a way of earning a living.

Why are Haiti and Chile God’s signs to the world?

Because the events that took place in both countries in 2010 are reminding us – and marking in the history of the world – God’s intention to erase every debt and every misfortune into which man and woman would have fallen, for whatever reasons, and could start all over again recovering everything they had lost.

When we read the text of Leviticus 25 describing the Constitution of the Kingdom that God constituted on the face of the earth through Moses, we discover that He promulgated a statute for the redemption of all those who had fallen into poverty or slavery and who had therefore lost their properties: you will proclaim liberty on earth to all its inhabitants.[7]

The promulgation of freedom was to be fulfilled every 7 years, and those who could not be redeemed on those dates because they had not paid their debts, the promulgation demanded total liberation in the eighth cycle of 7 years, whether or not they had the resources to pay off their debts. This date constituted the year of liberation and forgiveness of debts. These celebrations are known as the feasts of the years shemitah (every 7 years), and the feast of the year Yovel (jubilee), in the year 50. The promulgation was so that there would be neither poor nor slave on the earth because He had taken them out of the slavery of Egypt.

What the Liberty Bell meant for the thirteen original colonies of the United States, which contains engraved on its edge the same words of freedom proclamation of Leviticus, is what the proclamation of freedom meant for the dwellers of the earth, to the sound of shofars, on the Day of Atonement: the liberation of all debt and the recovery of their properties.

That is what happened in 2010, particularly with the liberation of the 33 miners. On that day 33 miners were proclaimed free, trapped for 70 days, and returned to their homes and families, as God stipulated in Leviticus 25.
If we examine the liberation of the 33 miners and the rejoicing that it meant for the entire world, and compare it with the promulgation of freedom referred to in Leviticus 25, proclaimed just on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), we have to understand that that day, October 13th, 2010, coincided with the Day of Atonement of God’s calendar, a calendar lost after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans. This is the value of the miners’ rescue.

If we calculate the number of days between January 12th, the date of the earthquake in Haiti, and October 13th, the date of the release of the miners from Chile, we will see that the number of days is exactly the same as the number of days of gestation of a baby: 274 days (9 months).

In other words, what was conceived on January 12th was given birth on October 13th. On October 13th, 2010, God proclaimed independence and freedom over the whole earth, by virtue of the blessing that God gave to Abraham.[8]

The earthquake in Haiti and the case of the rescue of the miners in Chile bring to world attention the need to revitalize the saving message of the Gospel of the Kingdom. From Haiti to Chile a message of liberation is being traced that is necessary to proclaim for all Latin American land, liberation from slavery and death.

So, from Haiti to Chile, a message of healing of the earth is being traced. We need to understand that it is necessary to lift the curse of this earth. It is not a new message, it is the message of the Gospel that Jesus established, the same of which the prophet Isaiah wrote, and said: The spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me, because the Lord anointed me; I have been sent to preach good news to the meek, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and to the prisoners the opening of the prison.[9]

Haiti and Chile are signs of God to the world because it is ordering the times, it is discovering to the wise the right times, God’s times for which we must act. The times that were marked for the children of Israel when they left Egypt, when God Himself took care of them by giving them supernatural provision through manna so that they would have time to seek His presence.

October 13th, 2010 is according to the divine calendar the Day of Atonement -Yom kippur- the 10th day of the seventh month. If we consult a Hebrew calendar of that year we will notice that it does not coincide with the Day of Atonement, and it is because the modern Hebrew calendars that follow the count of times were disrupted and paganized after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman Empires, because in their calculations they still use the same pagan Sabbath as their seventh day. Their calculations are not correct.

On October 13th, 2010, due to the characteristic of the rescue event of the 33 miners trapped for 70 days, the date acquires a unique spiritual value. Note that the number of miners is exactly the age of Jesus when he gives up his life on the cross of Calvary, and the 70 days of captivity is similar to the 70 years of exile the Jewish nation spent in Assyrian lands.

What does this data tell us? These similarities are leading us to understand that October 13th, 2010 corresponded to the 10th day of the seventh month in the biblical calendar, the Day of Atonement, but celebrated in a year of Jubilee, a day in which the remission of debts was proclaimed on earth and where all returned to their inheritances. Let’s see it in the next verse:

10And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. 11A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed. 12For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. 13In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession. Leviticus 25:9-13

The promulgation of this law took place precisely on a Day of Atonement, as we read in the following text:

Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. Leviticus 25:9

That means that the year 2010, starting in spring, in April and not March, was a Yovel year, and God is marking it so that we know about the end times and how to move in them.

Why did God choose these two nations to mark a sign of the Kingdom on earth? Because they represent all of Latin America, they are the first and the last, identical to what we read in Revelation, the alpha and the omega, that is, everything, no nation is excluded. They are the last of the earth from which Jesus commanded his disciples to reach with the Gospel message.

Haiti and Chile are signs of God to the world because their geographical coordinates and the distance between the two points are marking a YARDSTICK OF TIME MEASUREMENT.  If we draw a line between the two positions on a map you will notice that a rod is formed.

Using the coordinates of both points we can find the distance between both positions. The Haversine formula is used to perform the calculation. The distance between the two coordinates is approximately 5,076.14 KM (3,154.36 Miles). If we consider that the system used in Latin America is MKS, we use the measure kilometers and we take them as kilometer-days. It turns out that we have 5076.14 days, and when we do the proper conversion we get the date of September 5th, 2024.

This is a measuring rod of time that starts counting from the 13th of October 2010, the date of the liberation of the miners.

According to everything described above, if the year 2010 was a shemitah year, the year 2024 is also a shemitah year, and if the calculations point to that year, other significant events in the style of Haiti and Chile will have for that year, only this time, for Israel, in view of the Scripture that says: to make in Himself the two in a new man.[10] If the Gentiles and Israel are one, and what has already happened concerning the Gentiles in 2010, the next thing, in 2024 is for Israel.

Relevance of Donald Trump’s first presidential trip, May 19th, 2017

Prophetic lessons for connoisseurs of the times

Originally published in Spanish by http://ministerioscristorey.com/ on May 26, 2017

There is a spiritual assignment on Donald Trump, similar to the one prophesied by the prophet Isaiah around King Cyrus (כוֹרֶשׁ). Recently Rabbi Hamekubal Rab Kuk showed after he said Trump would win the election that the numerical value of Donald Trump’s name is similar to that of Messiah Ben David. In his teaching he recognizes that by his intervention the beginning of the redemption of the nation will be established over Israel:

Of course this message does not mean that Trump is Messiah Ben David, but that he will fulfill within the role of Messiah Ben David, for better or for worse, but it will be a fundamental card in the Redemption and the coming of Messiah. (Philologos, 2016)

Donald Trump’s presidential journey through the Middle East lays the cornerstone of this process of restoration of Israel; mainly because of the coincidence of dates with the solemn celebrations of Pesach and Shavuot.

For the church of the Lord, the first presidential trip of Donald Trump represents the reactivation of the way of measuring the biblical times, according to the revelation under which the church of the Lord operated in the first centuries.[1]

The date chosen, May 19th, is not a date chosen by man, it is a date chosen by God.It is a date that responds to a prophetic agenda established since the time of the prophet Isaiah, to restore in our days the order established by Jehovah God as to how to measure the calendar as it was established to Israel upon leaving Egypt.

The day of the presidential trip coincides with the day on which, according to the law of Moses, an omer of the first fruits of the harvest is presented; [2] it isalso the day on which the countdown of the seven weeks begins for thecelebration of the second great solemn feast, the feast of Shavuot.

The data, of course, does not conform to the current Jewish calendar, because currently, the Jewish people mark it on a different date, and this because its calendar arises from a mixture with the Greco-Roman calendar, similar to the Gregorian calendar; the evidence is that for this year 2017, both festivities coincided on the same date. The current Jewish calendar is not the same as observed even in the time of Jesus; the dispersion resulting from the destruction of Jerusalem by Rome led the people to lose the original way of measuring time.

According to the current Jewish calendar, the omer began to be counted on April 11th and will end on May 30th. For the date of May 19th the omer count corresponded to day 39, that is, five weeks and four days.

According to the current Jewish calendar, the omer began to be counted on April 11th and will end on May 30th. For the date of May 19th the omer count corresponded to day 39, that is, five weeks and four days.

However, this date of celebration is very early if one takes into account that the feast of first fruits and the demand to present an omer by first fruit could not be fulfilled given that for the 31oN latitude in which Israel is, the sun has not yet ripened the fruits sown, and in many cases, have not yet been born.

For the 22nd or 23rd of March the date when Spring begins astronomically, the date when the sun is over the line of the Equator, and it is the date taken to calculate the celebration of Easter, and Pesach, (Sons of the Divine Will) the sun is still very far south for the region where Israel is located.

It is necessary to recalculate the date of celebration of Pesach but taking into account the movement of the earth that determines the equinox precession. As the sun comes running from South to North, the date that marks the arrival of the Spring (first fruits) for the region of Israel must be higher than that of March the 22nd or 23rd, which as we said, the fruits of the earth have not yet ripened.

We are not interested in the adopted date of the astronomical beginning of Spring; but the date when the fruits begin to glean for the region where Israel is located,that is, for when the sun has risen sufficiently over the northern hemisphere, and the fruits ripen. The biblical date for the beginning of spring for the region of Israel should be calculated from the full moon of the month of April.

The full moon of April marks the beginning of the regional spring for Israel. If the reader sits on a graph of the phases of the moon he will see that we have been celebrating the Passover feast one month before the actual date.

By the date of the full moon in April the northern hemisphere has completely emerged from the low temperatures that still persist as a result of the winter that has just passed, and the sun allows the gleaning of the fruits; which was what happened according to the account of the plague of hail that fell on Egypt:

And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled. 32But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up.  

Exodus 9:31-32

Sothen, the new year according to the biblical calendar established at the exitfrom Egypt begins with the next new moon.

This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

Exodus 12:2

The Biblical Pesach is, in reality, celebrated two weeks after the beginning of the year, that is, from the night of the 14th day of Abib, which coincides with the following full moon.

The biblical Pesach is then celebrated on the next full moon, which according to the graph of the lunar phases, is the full moon of May.

We have then, summarizing all the above, that the regional spring for Israel is marked with the full moon of April, the next new moon is the beginning of the new year, and the first month of the year; the next full moon, the full moon of May is the date for the celebration of Pesach.

From this data, the corrected dates for the Pesach celebration, and for the counting of the seven weeks for the Shavuot celebration, are as follows.

The full moon of April for this year 2017 fell on April 11, that day began the regional spring for Israel. The new moon was marked for the 26th of April, so the biblical year and first month of the year (according to the instruction of Exodus 12, of course), began on the 27th of April. The corrected date for Pesach is May 10th (day 14th), and from the 11th to the 17th of the same month the date of bitter herbs, corresponding to the 14th to the 21st of the first month, as we read in the detail that Moses quoted for the annual observation of the celebration:

In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. 19Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.

Exodus 12:18-19

The first day of omer according to the recalculation of the date was May 19th, the day of first fruits, the date when Donald Trump began his presidential journey.

This brings us to another prophetic premise. If his journey took place on the first day of the reckoning of the seven weeks of the omer, at the end of which according to the law of Moses you shall offer a new present to Jehovah,[3] we expect that on the fiftieth day of this reckoning, that is, on the solemn feast of Shavuot, we shall have a new intervention of Donald Trump in the Middle East.

To calculate the date of the solemn feast of Shavuot, Pentecost, in the Christian environment, we count forty-nine days from May 19th, which brings us to the date of the 7th of July.

This date is prophetic, as was the delivery of the Torah to the people on Mount Sinai, is the date of establishment of Zion by the head of mountains, prophesied by the prophet Micah:

But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

Micah 4:1

Also prophesied by the prophet Isaiah:

For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

Isaiah 62:1

Based on the fact that this year also marks the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and given that one of Donald Trump’s campaign promises was to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, we hope that by Shavuot Day, July 7th, 2017, it will be the day that the U.S. moves its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, thus completing Isaiah’s prophecy about Israel about the arrival of the man that executes my counsel.

Donald Trump, United States of America and the prophecy of Isaiah around the Man that executes my Counsel

Prophetic Lessons for a Scientific and Agnostic World

Published originally in Spanish by https://ministerioscristorey.com/ on May 16th, 2017

Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. Isaiah 46:11

The man that executes my counsel is a figure that arises in relation to two events that at the time of the prophet write the prophecies have not yet occurred, and that none can warn about the possibility of their existence since there are no features at the time that identify them.

We will introduce to chapters 45, 46 and 47 of the book of the prophet Isaiah, viewed from the perspective of the reader of his time.

The two events are; the first one, the emergence of a nation, not mentioned in the text, and that possibly does not even exist yet, that will be established on the earth to govern the whole region, according to the text of chapter 45 of Isaiah:

Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God. 15Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. Isaiah 45:14-15

The second event is the collapse of a nation whose name is mentioned in chapter 46 indirectly by the gods that represent it: Bel and Nebo. Chapter 47 identifies it as Babylon.

By the time the prophet Isaiah writes, Jerusalem is just beginning to establish political-commercial relationships with Babylon, so it is clear that the prophet’s prophecies were absurd to its inhabitants. The text of chapter 47 describes Jerusalem’s confidence in this administrative connection.

Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.  …   5Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.    …      7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it. 8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: Isaiah 47:1-8

Although not directly as it appears in the text of the prophet Jeremiah, Isaiah warns the people that they are exposed to an exile similar to that which Samaria was subjected to. The evidence is in the following fragments,

Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.   …    22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. Isaiah 45:20-22

But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.  …   11Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know. Isaiah 47:9-11

And this, that is, their destruction, as a result of having transgressed their covenant with the Lord God, and having established idolatrous worship similar to that practiced by neighboring nations, as the text itself denounces it,

Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. 21Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. 22Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. Isaiah 45:20-22

To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? 6They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship. 7They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble. Isaiah 46:5-7

Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. 13Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.…. Isaiah 47:12-15

And it is inside this panorama of idolatry, of apostasy, and of political alliances, where emerges in the text the man that executes my counsel, as the person in charge to put order, and by his administration, to begin the reconstruction of Jerusalem,

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 10Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: 11Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. 12Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness: 13I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory. Isaiah 46:9-13

The man that executes my counsel is one who lunges against that which is established by the institutions and breaks its provisions. He will impose his decisions even on the threats of all those who oppose recognizing Israel as a nation. His reforms are not seen by him as such, nor is he consulting with the Bible to define them, yet he does and establishes according to the prophetic words proclaimed from ancient times by the most emblematic prophets. All of this, to show that his executions are decisions made in the bosom of Jehovah, as explained by the prophet himself.

That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; Isaiah 44:25

To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? Isaiah 46:5

The man that executes my counsel is an operation of God. It is not a religious reform project carried out by the most charismatic preacher, this in order to fulfill what the apostle Paul pointed out regarding the way God operates:

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:  1st. Corinthians 1:27,28

The man that executes my counsel marks the beginning of the time of Israel’s restoration, as recorded in the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, where Paul states that the presence of the man that executes my counsel marks the end of an age, the fullness of the Gentiles, to make way for the time of Israel’s restoration.

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. 26And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 28As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. Romans 11:25-28

The man that executes my counsel is identified in the text as Cyrus, as stated in the following texts,

Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; 2I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: 3And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. 4For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me. 5I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: Isaiah 45:1-5

According to the text of Isaiah, the appearance of the man of my counsel is subordinate to the appearance of a supernatural sign. The text states that along with the convocation to the man that executes my counsel, Jehovah also calls the bird of prey.

The original text identifies that the bird that comes from the East is a bird of prey, a bird of rapine, in other words, a predator. This fact cannot go unnoticed because it is part of the call made to the man that executes my counsel.

So far, in another writing originally published in Spanish and translated into English months later, we had identified the president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, as the person described in the book of the prophet Isaiah as the man who executes my counsel. The following demonstrates the veracity of the point.

On Friday April 28, 2017, an unusual event happened in Israel, 40,000 Levant hawks fly over Eilat.  (Bates, 2017)  In the article originally published in English by Arutz Sheva, (Arutz Sheva, 2017) they say that these birds nest in the mountainous forests of the Balkans. Also note that,

Most of what is currently known about Levant sparrowhawks is learned from their migration patterns. Israel’s SPNI counted approximately 60,000 Levant sparrowhawks flying over Israel, which are estimated to represent the species’ entire global population.

The unusual event takes on value because it is the physical evidence of God’s call for the man of my counsel to execute on Israel the spiritual reforms that God Himself has established at the time of Israel’s restoration.

The news is even more notorious since we were recently surprised by the news that President Donald Trump will visit Israel from May 19, and will include Saudi Arabia and the Vatican, which together with Israel represent the religious epicenter of monotheistic religions interrelated with Jehovah.

The prophecy has been fulfilled in Donald Trump, just as Isaiah prophesied, the bird (of prey) from the east, and the man from my far-off land counsel have met in Israel in less than a month’s difference between the two events.  We are entering a stage of restoration for Israel.

One of the reforms that will establish and form part of the divine executions is the move of the United States Embassy to Jerusalem. This move is important because it will be establishing and recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, as the prophet Micah established it:

But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. Micah 4:1

The United States recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was given on December 6th, 2017.

Donald Trump would be giving place for the next president of the United States of America to be a citizen of Jewish descent, which would establish a religious-spiritual bridge between America and its allies and Israel, in order to fulfill what Jesus himself said:

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 24:14

The Importance of the date of Journey of Donald Trump: May 19th, 2017

There is a spiritual assignment on Donald Trump, similar to that which was prophesied by the prophet Isaiah around King Cyrus (כוֹרֶשׁ). Recently Rabbi Hamekubal Rab Kuk showed after having said that Trump would win the elections that the numerical value of the name of Donald Trump is similar to that of Mashiaj Ben David. In his teaching he acknowledges that by his intervention will be established in Israel the beginning of the redemption of the nation:

Of course this message does not mean that Trump is Mashiaj Ben David, but he will fulfill in the role of Mashiaj Ben David, for good or ill, but it will be a fundamental card in the Redemption and the coming of Mashiach.[1]

All of Donald Trump’s actions around Israel point to the fulfillment of a restoration prophecy that he will be activating precisely in our time, mainly in this year 2017. On this occasion I want to present the case of the trip through the Middle East and Its relationship with the dates of the year shemitah, Passover, Shavuot (Pentecost), and the establishment of Jerusalem as the head of nations.

The first presidential trip of Donald Trump, president of the United States of America, on May 19, 2017, has a prophetic value and marks an important signal for the restoration of biblical times, according to the revelation under which Church of the Lord operated in the first centuries.[2]

The day was not chosen at random, not even by Donald Trump himself. It is a date that responds to a prophetic agenda established since the time of the prophet Isaiah, to restore in our day the order established by Jehovah God in terms of how to measure the passage of time, according to the protocol that was established To Israel on the way out of Egypt.

This is the day on which according to the Law of Moses an omer is presented for the first fruit of the first fruits of your harvest,[3] on which day the countdown begins of the seven weeks for the second great solemn feast, the Feast of Shavuot.

The data, of course, belongs to our calculation. The present Jewish people mark for the Pesach celebration a date different from ours; this year 2017 coincided with the pagan Christian date of Passover. According to the current account, the omer began to be counted on April 11 and will end on May 30. As of May 19, the omer account corresponded to the day 39, that is, five weeks and four days.

However, this date of celebration is very early If taken into account that the feast is of first fruits, and the demand to present an omer for scoop could not be fulfilled since for the latitude 31oN in which it is Israel, the sun has not yet matured the sown fruits, and in many cases, they have not yet been born. For the 22nd or 23rd of March, when the beginning of spring is considered astronomically, and the date on which the Passover and Pesach[4] celebration design is based, the sun is still very south of the region.

It is necessary to recalculate the date of celebration of Pesach but taking into account the movement of the earth that determines the precession of the equinoxes. As the sun travels from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere, the date of the arrival of spring (first fruits) for the region of Israel must be greater than that of March 22 or 23, As we said, is the date on which the sun is on the equator.

We are not interested in the date of the astronomical, scientific beginning of spring; but the date when the fruits begin to glean For the region where Israel is located, that is, when the sun has risen high enough on the northern hemisphere. In order to calculate this date, we assist the next full moon, that is, the full moon of the month of April.

The full April moon marks the start of the regional spring for Israel. The northern hemisphere has come entirely from the low temperatures that still persist from the winter that has just passed, and allows the gleaning of the fruits, as read in the account of the plague of hail that fell on Egypt in The time that this form of biblical calendar was established:

31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled. 32 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up. Exodus 9:31

So, then, the new year begins with the next new moon, after having seen the full moon of April. It was this moon that caused Moses by the ordinance of Jehovah God to establish the beginning of the year:

2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Exodus 12:2

The biblical Pesach actually begins with the first full moon of the new year. That is, the next full moon after that marks the beginning of the regional spring of Israel. In light of these data, we will have the dates corrected for the Pesaj celebration, and for the seven week count for the celebration of Shavuot.

The full moon of April for this year 2017 fell on April 11, that day began the regional spring for Israel. The astronomical new moon was scheduled for April 26, therefore, the biblical year and the first month of the year began on April 27. The date corrected for Pesach is May 10, and from 11 to 17 of the same month the true date of bitter herbs, corresponding to the days 14 to 21 of the first month, as we read in the detail that Moses offered for observation Annual celebration:

17 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance forever. 18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. Exodus 12:17,18

The first day of omer by recalculating date was this year on May 19, the day of first fruits, the date when Donald Trump began his presidential trip. This leads us to another prophetic establishment. If your journey was on the first day of the count of the seven weeks, after which according to the law of Moses you will offer a new present to Jehovah,[5] we have to wait that the fiftieth day of this account is Say, at the solemn feast of Shavuot, we have a new intervention by Donald Trump in the Middle East.

To calculate the date of the solemn feast of shavuot ‑Pentecost, in the Christian environment‑ we count forty-nine days from May 19, which brings us to the date of July 7.

This date is prophetic, as was the delivery of the Torah to the people on Mount Sinai, it is the date of establishment of Sion by head of mountains, prophesied by the prophet Micah:

1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. Micah 4:1

Prophesied also by the prophet Isaiah:

For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. Isaias 62:1

Based on the fact that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and since one of Donald Trump’s campaign promises was to move the United States Embassy to Jerusalem, we hope For Shavuot Day, July 7, 2017, be the day the United States moves its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, thus completing the prophecy of Isaiah around Israel about the arrival of the man of my council.[6]
