For those who would like to print all the Genesis Timeline lessons and notes at once I have combined them all on this page so you can print them together.
For your consideration, a brother in Christ posted this information a while back and it has some eye opening information on the unfolding of end time events. I am reposting with his permission …
Lesson 1: The Genesis TimeLine – The Numbers!
by Watchman Ray on Saturday, September 4, 2010 at 7:04pm
The Genesis Timeline – in 10 Hebrew Lessons – unravels much of the prophecy that is unfolding all around us, as God’s Kingdom hurtles towards us breakneck speed, bringing a Day of Judgment unexpectedly to a sleeping world.
Each lesson is to be taken in connection with the other pieces, for the picture that they make up as a whole. This is the ministry of teaching, of warning, of encouraging, with which I have been intimately engaged for the last 3 years.
These lessons start off very simple sounding, but bear with me .. the seeming simplicity of the first 3 or 4 lessons – provide the foundation to the prophecies contained in other lessons – that will blow your mind!
God bless you!
In Jesus,
Ray
The ‘Genesis Timeline’ is the straightforward counting of numbers, by order of the births listed in the book of Genesis, through the first Jewish years that make up the beginning of the Jewish calendar. For example: God created Adam, so that would be our ‘point zero’ to start from, and when Adam gave birth to his son, Seth, he (Adam) was 130 years old, and since we are counting from ‘point zero’ – we know therefore that the year was 130.
It is as simple as that!
Having this mind, and understanding that there are both present and prophetic uses of numbers throughout the Scriptures in Judaism, we get the idea that God is (for want of a better verb) so very ‘God’ throughout all His creation, that we have to look at the numbers that He uses and especially those in relation to mankind, (i.e. in Scripture) very carefully .. because these numbers mean everything!
There is nothing ‘random’ about God whatsoever! That is impossible! And that is precisely what I mean by Him being so ‘God’ in all of His creation! And as we do this, then and only then, accepting that all the numbers involved have a very specific purpose, do we see a much bigger picture begin to emerge!
And before you think this is just my own ‘conspiracy theory’, what I have just explained to you – is straight out of Rabbinical thought, stretching back to (at least) the last four thousand years!
So here’s a straightforward table of births, years, events and deaths, which we will consult frequently, ok? Here’s how it works: The 1st category is “Gen” – the ‘generation’ number of that person, so Adam is ‘Gen. # 1 – because he was the first man, Seth is #2, and so on.. and before you ask – Yes! – Cain was older than Seth but we are not including him here because his family line is not the central blood-line that leads to Jesus Christ, but Seth’s *is*!!!
The 2nd category is ‘Name’ – obviously Adam;
The 3rd category is ‘Year’ – the year that person was born in (Adam would be year 0!);
The 4th category, ‘Aged’, lists how old the father (e.g. Adam) was when he had his first-born son (130);
The 5th category, ‘Son’, lists what year on this newly-created Jewish calendar that person’s son was born in (i.e. Seth in 130);
The 6th category, ‘Lived’, lists how many years he (the father) had lived altogether;
And the 7th category, ‘Died’, lists what year it was when that father (e.g. Adam) died.
You will see a lot of .’s across the screen – my apologies, as this is the only way I could get the graph to work!
For example: Gen: . Name: . Born: . Aged: . Son: . Lived: . Died: 1 . . . Adam . . 0 . . . . 130 . . . 130 . . 930 . . 930
Got it? .. Good!!! – Now here we go!

Lesson 2: The Genesis Time-Line: The 7th Day
by Watchman Ray on Sunday, September 5, 2010 at 9:14pm
My purpose in this is in part, to show you a picture of Matthew 24:32-35 that applies here in the Last Days – which are now!
All ‘End-Times’ prophecy – All of it! – begins with the ‘Big One’ – the re- establishment of Israel as a nation. That happened in May, 1948. And for Abraham (Blessed is he), think not that it is any coincidence that he was born in exactly the same year .. that is, 1,948 years after Adam.
The ‘Time-Line’ graph is below, and to begin with I am going to open up something to you that you may already know, but stick with me here – because it leads to things that I can guarantee – you didn’t know!
Keep a hold of this chart, print it out and keep it near your computer or whatever, because you will benefit much from referring to it again and again in the future, as well as in your own studies of the Word!
Below the graph, I begin with the first subject:
Gen: . Name: . Born: . . Aged: . Son: . Lived: . Died:
1. Adam . . . . . 0 . . . . 130 . . . 130 . . 930 . 930
2. Seth . . . . . . 130 . . . 105 . . 235 . . 912 . 1042
3. Enosh . . . . . 235 . . . 90 . . . 325 . . 905 . 1140
4. Cainan . . . . 325 . . . 70 . . . 395 . . 910 . 1235
5. Mahalalel . . 395 . . . 65 . . . 460 . . 895 . 1290

13. Shelah . . . . 1693 . . 30 . . 1723 . . 433 . 2126
14. Eber . . . . . . 1723 . . 34 . . 1757 . . 464 . 2187
15. Peleg . . . . . 1757 . . 30 . . 1787 . . 239 . 1996 [BABEL]
16. Reu . . . . . . 1787 . . 32 . . 1819 . . 239 . 2026
17. Serug . . . . 1819 . . 30 . . . 1849 . . 230 . 2049
18. Nahor . . . . 1849 . . 29 . . . 1878 . . 148 . 1997
19. Terah . . . . 1878 . . 70 . . . 1948 . . 205 . 2083
20. Abraham . . 1948 . . 100 . . 2048 . . 175 . 2123
21. Isaac . . . . . 2048 . . 60 . . 2108 . . 180 . . 2228
22. Jacob . . . . 2108 . . 00 . . . 0000 . . 147 . 2255
Abraham is listed as being born in Year 1948 – the same year as Modern-Day Israel being re-founded as a nation in the year 1948, although on different calendars, and we can use pointers like this to recognize the ‘leaves’ that Yeshua was warning us about in Matthew 24:32!
Now if you noticed, Adam is said to have lived to be 930 years old, or we can say he lived until Year 930. We know that Adam was told that in the “day” that he ate of the fruit of the tree of life, that he would die, and since he did not die in the natural 24-hr day in which he ate of the fruit, we deduce that the day intended was that mentioned in 2 Peter 3:8:
“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the L_RD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
This brings us back to the meaning of the actual word used in Genesis, which correlates to our English word “era” or ‘period of time’. (There are “literalists” out there, who dispute this reasoning and hold that the Hebrew word refers only to a 24-hour day, but who cannot then explain why Adam did not die in the same 24-hour day, but it is a matter of not having researched the Hebrew properly!)
So we are able then to now see that Adam died 70 years short of the thousand years (otherwise known in Isaiah 23:15 as ‘a generation’ – this is very important to remember!) or just short of ‘one day’. So Adam did die in the day that he ate of the fruit, just as God promised!
It is interesting to note too, that Adam, the first man, lived 930 years as we have said for another reason: He was the first generation of mankind as Genesis 5 points out, and then when we look at the Psalms 90, verse 10, we see that the following is said:
“The days of our years are threescore years and ten; (that’s 70!) and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength, labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.”
Hopefully more on this and also the fourscore years later, to show how both relate to the last generation of mankind! .. Also, please notice how Genesis never closes on the ’7th Day’ of creation, as it does with all other ‘days’ .. “And it was morning and it was evening, and it was the sixth day” where G-D declares it “Good.”
We are still in the 7th Day, waiting for its close, when G-D declares all that He sees – “Good” .. or “Very good!”.
With the first generation of 930 years and the last generation of 70 years we can see how this day of time is complete to 1,000 years!
For example: Israel is now in her 7th generation = 70 years. And Jesus promises us that “This generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.” (Matt. 24:34, Isa. 23:15 .. so the last generation starts as we have stated above, with the re-establishment of Israel as a nation, which happened in May, 1948.
(930+70 = 1,000 = A “day”)
The 7th Day.
But wait, there is more to this picture than just this. It is a ‘composite’ taking place, that is made up of many parts.
In Jesus,
Raymond
Lesson 3: The Genesis Time-Line: The Prophetic Alphabetic
by Watchman Ray on Monday, September 6, 2010 at 5:50pm
The Prophetic Alphabetic
So now, in this 3rd part, you have learned where modern-day Israel falls into place in the Genesis Timeline, and how this signifies that these are very specifically the “Last Days” of the ‘generation’ (period of 70 years), that Jesus spoke of.
My purpose in this is, in part, to show you a picture of the passage from the book of Matthew 24:32-35 that applies here in the Last Days – which are now! And I have tried to outline a little of the pattern from the Time-line taking shape in these Last Days that gives a real clear indication of just how close we are to the Kingdom of our Lord and Messiah – Yeshua – Jesus!
So here is a very basic, quick numbers guide:
1 = God’s Sovereignty
3 = Emphasis (in purpose)
4 = Universality / The Four Directions / ‘Everywhere’
5 = Grace
6 = Imperfection/Man
7 = ‘Perfection’/God’s relationship with man (i.e 6+1 = 7)
8 = Messiah/Dedication/Covenant
9 = Judgment
10 = Earthly Existence / Things Earthly
12 = God’s Divine Sovereignty
40 = ‘Completion’ / Death.
70 = God’s Government / Divine Ruler ship
The Hebrew language, created by God, is unlike any other language in the world. Each letter is comprised of 3 representations:
A word representation,
A symbol, and
A number – a numerical value.
Instead of saying “a” as for the name of the first letter of the English alphabet, the name of each Hebrew letter will be an actual word; so the First letter of the Hebrew alphabet is the ‘Aleph’ .. and it comes at the ‘Head’ – or beginning – of all 22 letters (3×7 + 1) of the Hebrew alphabet!
It’s word is Master, it’s symbol is the Ox, and it’s number is 1 .. and so therefore it represents – God!
There is very, very deep significance to the numerical value of each letter, in Hebrew, as you will find out!
א (Aleph) – Number: 1 – Meanings: strength, leader, first – Literal meaning: ox, bull
ב (Bet) – Number: 2 – Meanings: household, in, into, family – Literal meaning: tent, house
ג (Gimel) – Number: 3 – Meanings: to lift up, pride, animal – Literal meaning: camel
ד (Dalet) – Number: 4 – Meanings: pathway, to enter – Literal meaning: door
ה (Hey) – Number: 5 – Meanings: ‘the’, to reveal – Literal meaning: behold
ו (Vav) – Number: 6 – Meanings: ‘and’, to add, to secure – Literal meaning: nail, peg
ז (Zayin) – Number: 7 – Meanings: cut, to cut off – Literal meaning: weapon
ח (Chet) – Number: 8 – Meanings: private, to separate – Literal meaning: fence, inner room
ט (Tet) – Number: 9 – Meanings: to surround – Literal meaning: snake, surround
י (Yod) – Number: 10 – Meanings: work, a deed, to make – Literal meaning: hand (closed)
כ (Kaf) – Number: 20 – Meanings: to cover, to open, allow – Literal meaning: palm (open hand)
ל (Lamed) – Number: 30 – Meanings: control, authority, the tongue – Literal meaning: cattle goad
מ (Mem) – Number: 40 – Meanings: liquid, massive, chaos – Literal meaning: water
נ (Nun) – Number: 50 – Meanings: activity, life – Literal meaning: fish (darting through water)
ס (Samech) – Number: 60 – Meanings: support, twist slowly, turn – Literal meaning: prop
ע (Ayin) – Number: 70 – Meanings: to see, know, experience – Literal meaning: eye
פ (Pey) – Number: 80 – Meanings: to speak, a word, to open – Literal meaning: mouth
צ (Tsadi) – Number: 90 – Meanings: catch, desire, need – Literal meaning: fish hook
ק (Koof) – Number: 100 – Meanings: behind, the last, the least – Literal meaning: back of the head
ר (Reysh) – Number: 200 – Meanings: a person, the head, the highest – Literal meaning: head (of a man)
ש (Sheen) – Number: 300 – Meanings: to consume, destroy – Literal meaning: teeth
ת (Tav) – Number: 400 – Meanings: to seal, to covenant – Literal meaning: sign (interesting side note: in ancient Semitic writing, the tav looked like a lower case t or a cross)

Lesson 4: The Genesis Time-Line: God’s Signature!
by Watchman Ray on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 12:21am
This lesson is a real study. It requires that you will need to physically grab your Bible to read, as we go through it! There is also a lot of information on numbers here – and how they are used in Scripture. So go get your Bible.
And here we go:
This 4th article on the Genesis Timeline contains things that may seem very deep, and some of you may not feel up to it right away; if so, save it and read it later as it will be well worth it! It is my hope that this work will serve each person who studies it, and help them to see and say that Our God Is A Mighty God Who Is More Perfect than we can begin to imagine.
There was a promise made to Daniel in the book by his name. Daniel wanted so badly to know when the punishment and desolation of Israel and Jerusalem was to be over. He asked and received an answer but he could not understand it. He was told to go his way, and was told that only at the Time Of The End, would these things be known. Again I hope that you will be able to see that these things given to Daniel are now known, and in so doing, that you will also know that the time of these things is now upon us.
There is no time to waste and we must be prepared both spiritually and physically to understand and handle what is about to happen.

Now that you have finished reading Genesis 5 (where the genealogies are) to the Flood, go back. Count the generations from Adam to Noah. You will see there are 10 generations.
1 = God’s Sovereignty
3 = Emphasis (in purpose)
4 = Universality / The Four Directions / ‘Everywhere’
5 = Grace
6 = Imperfection/Man
7 = ‘Perfection’/God’s relationship with man (i.e. 6+1 = 7)
8 = Covenant/Messiah/Dedication
9 = Judgment
10 = Earthly Existence / Things Earthly
12 = God’s Divine Sovereignty
40 = ‘Completion’ / Death.
70 = God’s Government / Divine Ruler ship
In the New Testament, this order is pointed out when Enoch is mentioned as being number 7 of this 10 generations. Is this important? Yes! – Everything that happens in Scripture is for an important and specific reason – so take note!
Now Read Jude 1:14.
At the beginning of Genesis 11 you will note the information about the Tower of Babel. It is put here for a very important reason for it was one of the first things that happened after the Flood. This building went on for sometime before The Father of Us All intervened and scattered mankind all over the earth.
As you see from the genealogies listed above, the Tower of Babel incident happened in the Genesis Time-line year of 1996.
This is at the same time when the European Union, after its failure to do so in 1992, managed to consolidate its power, bringing in new members, as never before. All aspects of national sovereignty/individuality for each nation being swallowed up forever and replaced by one central banking system, one set of laws and regulations, emanating from one central source, and now – just one indisputable currency!
It also happens to be the same year that Russia (known in the Bible as ‘Gog of Magog’, who marches against Israel in the Last Days) – joined the ‘Council of Europe’.
This is the same mentality shared by those who built the Tower of Babel, as Europe conspires with the Arab nations against Israel. The Chumash tells us that King Nimrod had the Tower of Babel built, because he planned to wage war against God!
Without Israel being in the way, Russia stands to receive *billions* in oil coming straight up through the Gulf Stream, propelling Russia directly into super-powerdom once again.
Remembering the timing of these events are not coincidences but prophecy, let’s go back to the numbers:
* Exactly 10 years later from 1996, Noah, Father of the Second World, dies in the year 2006. So now we have our first ‘pointer’ in 2006, to what I believe is the beginning of a modern-day counterpart: a 3+1/2 year period running from 2006-2010 on the Jewish calendar.
* Exactly 10 generations later – brings us to Abraham. Born in the year 1948. As prophecy shows, the same year modern-day Israel was re-established as a nation in May, 1948.
* Exactly 10 generations later – brings us to Messiah – Yeshua HaMashiach, also called Jesus Christ.
Now, you’re going to need to concentrate!
Abraham’s son Isaac, is the 21st generation (3×7); his son Jacob becomes the 22nd generation, and Jacob also has his name changed by The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to ‘Israel’.
We learn how Israel the 22nd generation would come to speak a language with 22 characters. (Is this a “coincidence”? seeing how that alphabet is structured beginning with the ‘Aleph’, which symbolizes the ‘Master’, followed by 3×7 letters – all with very specific meanings to the symbols attributed to them!)
We remember that God changed Abram’s name to Abraham. Genesis 26:5 tells us that Abram did 5 things, and as a result God changed his name to Abraham. It is then interesting to note that Abram’s name was spelled originally with only 4 letters. God added one letter so Abraham’s name now contains 5 letters.
In Hebrew, each letter is also a number. The letter God added to Abram’s name was the letter ‘hey’ which is also the number 5. We know God also changed Sarai’s name to Sarah. Her name was spelled with 3 letters and the last letter in her name was the letter ‘yod’ which is the number 10. God changed the ‘yod’ and made it a ‘hey’. In effect He subtracted 5 from her name.
We know that when husband and wife come together they are ONE. So then it does not surprise me to see that Abraham, who after his name changed had 5 letters in his name and Sarah who had 3 letters, when added together the two make ONE and that number is 5+3=8.
Eight – Remember *this* number!
So we begin to learn just how important the numbers are from the Scriptures. As we study, we shall see even more of the importance of these numbers and how they relate to the information being given.
FROM THE GENEALOGY CHART ABOVE:
You will notice that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob all have something in common. To each of the Three Patriarchs, God allowed them to be born in a year that ended in the number 8.
Abraham born in 1948; Isaac born in 2048; and Jacob born in 2108.
Eight is the sign of the covenant that God made with them. We recall that they were to be circumcised on the 8th day. We can go back even further and see that God saved exactly 8 souls aboard the Ark (1 Peter 3:20).
We can also see the lineage coming from Adam, comes through Shem – who was born in 1558. And his son Arpachshad was born in 1658. We can then progress in time and see that the Exodus occurred in the year 2448, and they entered the land of Israel in 2488.
Even in our time God caused Israel’s re-birth to be in the year 1948. This then parallels the birthday of the father of the nation, Abraham, who was also born in 1948. (1,948 years after Adam)
Pointing yet again, by these things, that the calculations were correct that highlighted the coming year when the trouble was *really* going to start in the year 2008, and the things that happened in that year, I will discuss later .. but the end is not yet.
(Note that 2008 comes 60 years (10×6) after 1948, and it was exactly 60 years after Christ’s death that John saw in vision the very things that are beginning to happen now to Israel, and wrote about them in the book of Revelation!)
Now I can assure you that this is not a game and that the Scriptures are intertwined with these facts to show us the information within the Scriptures!

Lesson 5: The Genesis Time-Line: Prophecies!
by Watchman Ray on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 6:28pm
So we have seen, through the Genesis Timeline, where the years 2006 & 2008 are featured fairly prominently; now I interpret that not as two separate years, but as part of a 3+1/2 year time period!
Israel’s defining point after her re-establishment as a nation in 1948, came in the year 1967, when after the six-day war was ‘impossibly won’ when 5 Arab nations banded together to kill Israel (yet again!) and lost – of course, because the God of Israel does not break His promises and no-one will ever remove Israel from the face of the earth.
This too is significant because, according to our numbers chart (below), 1967 is exactly 40 years before 2007, and comes 39 years before this 3+1/2 year period starts!
Also concerning 1967, is that it is a ‘Jubilee Year’. In Israel, every 50 years, all slaves were set free, all debts were cancelled, and all land was returned to its original owners!
Did you ever notice that there were 11 men and 1 woman appointed as Judges in ancient Israel, and in these Last days – there have been 11 men and 1 woman who have served as Prime Ministers of Israel?
Add 50 years to 1967, and you get 2017 – the end of the Genesis Timeline generation!! Not knowing the day or the hour, we are to understand this:
That in God’s Kingdom, we are no longer slaves to sin, all our debts have been cancelled by the Great King Himself, and the land of Israel – is returned to its original owner – who is G-D!
I strongly recommend you to read the book ‘The Jerusalem Countdown’ by Pastor John Hagee. In it, he highlights a lot of very significant events tied in, and that occur specifically at, the beginning of this 3+1/2 year period. He also opens up a lot of government records & documentation that few others have had the courage to do so.
There are other things too, that may be taken as indicators, of course depending on your perspective, and one of these is that the reason Jesus was whipped only 39 times before being crucified, was that under Jewish Law, the number 40 is the number of ‘completion’ – so whipping Him 40 times would have been equal to death – and therefore would have disqualified them from killing Him!
John Hagee writes that all the world’s illnesses, sicknesses, and infirmities of every sort leading up to and including death – have been split and categorized by professionals into exactly 39 categories. Yet our King Jesus was whipped exactly 39 times, for our sins through which all of these illnesses, sicknesses and death have come .. so what have the Scriptures to say on this? .. Isaiah 53:5 reads:
“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.” (see also 1 Pet. 2:24)
1 = God’s Sovereignty
3 = Divinity/Emphasis (in purpose)
4 = Universality / The Four Directions / ‘Everywhere’
5 = Grace
6 = Imperfection/Man
7 = ‘Perfection’/God’s relationship with man (i.e 6+1 = 7)
8 = Covenant/Messiah/Dedication
9 = Judgment
10 = Earthly Existence / Things Earthly
12 = God’s Divine Sovereignty
40 = ‘Completion’ / Death.
70 = God’s Government / Divine Ruler ship
And we have yet another prophecy, uttered by King Yeshua Himself, when He was being questioned by the Pharisees, when they placed Him under oath before the Living God, to answer them as to whether He was the Messiah or not, so that He had to answer!
His response is recorded at Matthew 26:64, where He answers them directly:
“Yes, it is as you say,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: [Jesus was talking to the Sanhedrin] In the future – YOU – [The Sanhedrin!] will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of Heaven.”
It is no coincidence to find therefore, that though the Sanhedrin hasn’t existed since the 4th Century .. that it has just been reconvened in the last couple of years, for the first time in human history since they condemned Jesus – and is now a working part of Israel’s political system!!!
These – are the old men that are going to make the declaration of Matthew 23:39 and Psalms 118:26-:
“Baruch haba b’shem Ad-noi!”
(“Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the L-RD!”)
So now we have this three-year time period clearly identified, but wait – there is yet more to come, and more that I would like to show you!
In Jesus,
Raymond
Lesson 6: The Genesis Timeline: God’s Signature – The Life of All Men!
by Watchman Ray on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 9:58pm
There is much written in the Tanakh (‘Old Testament’), and within those pages are many pieces of the puzzle that make up the whole of the picture. There is much math involved as The Holy One is a Master in mathematics, as He Himself created it.
In short when He created speech and the words came from His mouth they were images representing also letters and numbers. Today one can sit down and use letters to make up the words we speak.
Most professors of math recognize that certain numbers will fall into different organized groups. Thus we see what are called ‘triangular numbers’ as well as ‘Prime numbers’. The group that each of these falls into tells us about it.
These groups are so perfect that when used properly, they can tell us many things about why it is placed within that group and it then relates to the subject matter at hand.
Now I am trying to give you a quick answer but there is really no quick way. It will be very hard for you to understand without some study and seeing for yourself. Suffice it to say that the first sentence of Genesis Chapter 1 is both a sentence and a set of numbers with a total.
That total is broken down into many facets and more is there – much more – even into the symetrics field!
Science has long recognized these numbers and used them to classify certain fields of study. For instance, the atom when studied has a number of protons, neutrons and electrons. By knowing the number in each instance, they can know what type of atom it is.
The oxygen atom that gives you and I life & breath is made up of 8 electrons, 8 neutrons, and 8 protons, or 888. Sound familiar?
Well, given what we’ve recently learned from the Genesis Timeline about ‘God’s signature’ – it should! – because in the Greek, another language where we can see some of these facts, the name translated ‘Jesus’ when the numbers are added up for the name itself, add up to 888.
He is our Life!
Now read John 1:4: “In him was life, and that life was the light of men.”
By knowing enough about these numbers and the patterns they are used in, we can learn things that were never before thought possible .. yes, even in His Word – The Word Made Flesh!
Even The Master Himself says to his disciples that there are many things that He would like to tell them but cannot at that time.
Now read John 1:5: “The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.”
What I will tell you is this: You will only understand when you truly believe God and examine His Word to – “Prove all things and hold fast that which is good!” (1 Thess. 5:21)
In Jesus,
Raymond
Lesson 7: The Genesis Timeline -
1967, Revelation & The Last Generation.
by Watchman Ray on Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at 9:40pm
This lesson (a big one!) jumps around a little, but if you stick with it, I hope it blows your mind as much as it still blows mine! 
)
It is not an accident that it is exactly – 40 (the number that signifies ‘completion’) – years that passes from 1967 to 2007, for in doing so it ties the other two years together and, through the 39th year on the Jewish calendar from 1967, leads one straight into the other (2006-2007). So what’s so special about the year 1967?
At first because I didn’t know, and I wondered rather fancifully about these 19 years (1948-1967). And then, there I was one day, walking along in my place of work, when ‘Boom!’ – it hit me all at once!
It’s not a 19-year period!!! .. Why not, and why is this important?
Let me show you: From a ‘heavenly’ perspective, you must remember that the devil knows Scripture very, very well .. he also knows that he cannot stop anything that God sets about doing, so instead he tries to ‘minimize’ it – if that were possible!
Let me put it another way for you: You can’t destroy a puddle by stamping in it; the only way you can kill it – is by preventing the streams flowing to it. You kill it at its source!
The Jews in Europe!
From an Earthly perspective:
Did Germany just wake up one morning and decide they wanted to kill the Jews, just out of the blue? .. NO!!! – The Arabs, who could see what was beginning to happen among the Zionists and didn’t want the land of ‘Palestine’ settled, made deals with Germany – BIG DEALS! – even though they had no idea themselves, of the size of what was going to happen!
With the backing of the Vatican and a signed Concordat between Hitler and a Nazi-loving pope at the time, Hitler’s power and ability increased massively and continued stepping up his campaign against Jews in particular, for his Arab friends.
Back to a Heavenly perspective:
The devil tries a strangle-hold on the fledgling birth of Israel. He failed to kill the country. So then he tries to kill it at its very heart – the city of Jerusalem, during the Six-Day-War.
“A day for a year, A day for a year” cries the Biblical maxim that we all know from multiple places in Scripture. (2 Peter 3:8 is one!)
A day for a year??? Then as the Second World War was an attempt 6 years long – to kill the country, so was the Six-Day War for the Holy Temple area – a battle to kill the city – to stab the Jews in their very heart!
Still unconvinced? .. Then those who have been following, with me, throughout the course of these Genesis Timeline lessons, will understand why my mind was blown apart – when I realized that it wasn’t a 19-year period (1948-1967), I was reading it completely wrong! In fact the time separating 1945 (the first attempt) from 1967 (the second attempt) is a period of exactly – 22 years!
Again, those who have followed the Timeline with me will understand, via the number 22, why this is truly mind-blowing! – in its revelation of just how ‘on schedule’ even these events were on God’s Timeline!
Of how even the devil’s worst attempt, during the 2nd World War, was nothing more than a tick on a checklist more accurately constructed than the world’s finest Swiss wristwatch! The attempt to wipe out the Jewish people was never going to happen!
It is an impossibility, according to God’s promises!
If you do not understand the significance of these numbers, or have even forgotten, please – please – go back, and take to heart those first 6 messages .. because they took 3 years to find out, piece together, and then astonish me within what I have called ‘The Genesis Timeline!’
Here We Go:
Now if I really wanted to show you something, I could remind you that this 70-year-period (1948-2018) is the “last generation” spoken of by Jesus Messiah in Matthew chapter 24. The last generation of mankind.
Since these 22 years stand out, if you minused 22 from 70 then added the remaining 48 onto 1967 .. you would come up to the year 2015 – the very same year which happens to be a ‘Sabbath Year’ that we discussed on my mailing list, earlier this year.
2015 features prominently in the Genesis Timeline, coming 3 years before 2018 .. and it is marked by the most curious solar and lunar eclipses that world has ever seen!!!
These eclipses were last seen – only – preceding the years 1948, and 1967. Is this a coincidence?
Has anything in Scripture ever been a coincidence?
For we are told in Genesis, Chapter One, that the heavenly bodies, the Moon and the sun, were placed in the sky as SIGNS – which those who lived by the calendar given according to their interpretation and use (i.e. the Jews) would live by. The L-RD alone knows. But what I will tell you is this:
The eclipses occurring between 2014-2015 on the Jewish calendar – All Of Them! – occur on Jewish Holy Days! An occurrence so rare and unfathomable, and that will never be seen again, for many, *many* hundreds of years! For more information on this, check out the website of a very good pastor of a dear friend of mine in Washington State, who has taken the time to study the NASA satellite charts of the movements of our moon and sun, over the next few years, at ElShaddaiMinistries – www.elshaddaiministires.us
But with the current administration now beginning the process of getting the prophesied 3rd Holy Temple built in Jerusalem, when the Anti-Christ stands and blasphemes G-D in .. the Shabbat or ‘Sabbath’ year makes me wonder if that is the year in which the Temple will have its completion in being built.
Either way, since 1948 and 1967 were then ‘borne witness to’ by the following eclipses, it is my belief that you are going to see something of massive, massive prophetic significance, take place before or during – this time period!
Not to mention, again, that this would be a 3rd – ’3-year period’ – in all this;
1945-1948, 2006-2008, 2015-2018,
Notice how they all finish in 8′s??? .. But we have already discussed the significance of the number 8. But all this came to my mind in one go. It was a very weird experience!
Anyway, moving on:
After Israel’s re-establishment as a nation, marking the beginning of the Last Days in 1948, the Jewish people still had no ‘central focus point’ for their nation, and for them there could only ever be one possibility – the place where the Holy Temple had stood, because that is where God placed His Holy Name.
That all changed in 1967 when, against insurmountable odds and some ‘disallowed’ information (‘officially denied’) of angelic intervention on the battlefield, seen by both Arabs and Israelis, which reports I have copies of – that we can discuss later, the nation of Israel battled five Arab nations that had gathered together and that heavily out-numbered them, defeated them, and recaptured the Western Wall of Jerusalem, the area where the Holy Temple had stood.
This was a point of ‘completion’ now, in their standing as a modern-day nation, and more importantly as the people of God in fulfillment of His prophecy about them, so it comes as no surprise that when we count 40 years onward, we find ourselves ‘slap-bang’ at the very beginning of the 3-year time period highlighted in the Genesis Timeline!
That is not an accident.
I have just a couple more postings to send on the mathematics of the Timeline, and then I’m done – because I do not wish to be burdensome to you.
The Genesis Timeline – in full, is a multi-faceted chart from Creation to the present time, that lays out all of the specific prophecies and times that were given to allow us to know where we are from Creation.
Yes, much of it agrees with Seder Olam Rabbah, but then when we get to the destruction of The First Temple there are a lot of misconceptions.
It works with all of the Scripture through the Judges, Kings and then the 164 years of Persian king rule and on into the time beyond. It works exactly with Leviticus 26, the ‘Seven Times Punishment’. It would fit exactly with Ezekiel 1, 4 and Ezekiel 40 – all of which are key verses about the Temple and Temples. It works with Daniel 8, 9 and 11. It works with Jeremiah’s prophecies and much more.
Now having said this, most just want to know where we are? We have just started the last 10 years or the last 7th portion of the last generation of 70 years spoken of by The Messiah (Matthew 24:34 – Isaiah 23:15). Israel has just entered toward their 7th decade of statehood since 1948 – corresponding to both Abraham’s birth and the book of Revelation’s writing concerning Israel’s future!
(I make this reference to Revelation because John received it exactly 60 years after the death of Christ, and since it concerns Israel’s future, it is noteworthy that it is exactly 60 years after 1948 – that the 3-year period begins! So you see, the numbers are all over the place – and yet make sense at every turn! Who could have planned this – but G-D?!!)
An interesting perspective comes from those who point out the Scripture in Isaiah I believe, that speaks of “From the going forth of the Word..” concerning these things, and thus they count 70 years not from 1948, but from 1947 – which therefore ends in the year 2017.
Why is this interesting?
Well, because the ‘word’ to build Israel as a nation (although the Jewish people had been seeking and planning it for years!), via American influence through the United Nations, went out in 1947. This, together with the fact that 1967 also happens to be a ‘Jubilee Year’, paints a very vivid and electrifying picture for us!
A ‘Jubilee Year’ occurred in Israel every 50 years, and when it came around – all slaves were set free, all debts were cancelled, and all land was returned to its original owners!
Did you ever notice that there were 11 men and 1 woman appointed as Judges in ancient Israel, and in these Last days – there have been 11 men and 1 woman who have served as Prime Ministers of Israel? So Who will be the next Leader?
Add 50 years to 1967 and you get 2017 – the end of the Genesis Timeline generation, if you count from “the going forth of the word”!!
So to Whom will the land of Israel be returned in 2017, the year of the next Jubilee? .. Not knowing the day or the hour, we are to understand this:
That in God’s Kingdom, we are no longer slaves to sin, all our debts have been cancelled by the Great King Himself, and the land of Israel – is returned to its original owner – who is G-D!
We entered the last of the 70-year generations, and I say ‘generations’ – as the one we are in at present is the 37th and last since the ’7 Times Punishment’ of the nation of Israel and Judah began, as given in Leviticus 26. That time period ended with Judah coming back into the land first, as the prophet Zechariah foretold that the “tens of Judah would be saved first”.
He spoke of the ‘generation(s)’ that would see these things. Though He often spoke in the singular, it was as a whole. The folks who would see certain things would know that – that generation was the last of an era.
So it was with some of his Talmidim who were to see the Roman Armies surround Jerusalem, and so it is today as we shall soon see the Armies of the Nations surround Israel!
Shalom in Yeshua,
Raymond
Lesson 8: The Genesis Timeline – Seeking Hidden Wisdom
by Watchman Ray on Thursday, September 9, 2010 at 9:07am
My focus in all this, is to reach as many people for the Kingdom as possible, and by means of the Genesis Timeline, I have been able to show you in as clear a manner as I know how, that – that time is very definitely and very specifically running out, for us to be able to save those people!
So let’s continue:
When we look back to the scriptures to see how things were created, we always see the mathematical relationship.
“Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?” (Isa. 40:12)
These words: measured, meted, span, comprehended, weighed, scales, and balance all denote the use of mathematics. It requires mathematics to measure, span, to weigh, to balance. Therefore we see that in measuring and making we need mathematics. Ask any carpenter if he could build a house without the use of mathematics.
So it is too, that understanding the use of mathematics to the structure of words and letters, as to molecules and atoms, helps us understand the matter and see the relationships within Scripture. We can see many allusions to these in the written word, but we need to understand more than just allusion to something.
Our Jewish brothers understand that the Torah is to be analyzed on the basis of four different methods of commentary. They are ‘peshat’ – the simple meaning; ‘remez’ – allusion; ‘derush’ – inference; & ‘sod’ – or secrets.
The first letters of these four approaches, combine to form the word ‘pardes’, which means ‘orchard’.
When we understand Torah properly then we know it is like the Garden of Eden where the different trees are planted and on these trees grow all kinds of fruit that can be eaten for our delight and well being. And in fact, we see that very thing – knowledge represented as fruit on a tree – in the Scriptures!
So now we will look at just one of these:
‘Sod’ – The Secret Things.
The Scriptures speak to the secret things, so let us see first of all what is said.
“The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.” (Deut. 29:29)
Some may draw the conclusion the secret things can only be understood and should only be understood by God.
This, of course, is a wrong conclusion for the verse did not say that the secret things would not be understood by some, and in fact clearly gives this as an allusion when it says those things which are revealed – belong to us and our children!
The fact that it says the secret things, tells us that some will be revealed.
To reveal is to know that before it was revealed, that which was revealed, was a secret. We learn more of this understanding when we read Daniel’s second chapter and verses 21 and 22:
“And He changes times and the seasons: He removes kings, and sets up kings: He giveth wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding. He revealed the deep and secret things: He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with Him.”
In these verses there is clear proof that he reveals the deep and secret things to whom he pleases. The Messiah Himself said,
“That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” (Matt. 13:35)
Let it be understood from Scripture that all things that were secret are to be made known.
“For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested: neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.” (Mark 4:21)
Does this mean that everyone that reads these things that are hidden will understand?
No! – In fact it is guaranteed that they shall not. There are those who read who are not willing to study for themselves, and they shall not understand.
This is like the parable of the sower mentioned in Matthew 13. Some of this seed fell by the wayside, and the fowls devoured it. There was no work done on this ground to allow this seed to take root and it was stolen by the fowls.
Others will not understand much, and will not ever understand because they have only a little preparation & the seed takes root, but since there’s no study, it’s never something that produces fruit. So in time, like the little plant that started to grow, it too will die from relationships that affect it.
Then there are those who have studied, and these are not all the same either. For just as the good ground yielded some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold, so it shall be with those who read God’s incredible Word.
Some will understand more than others, for some will put more effort into understanding than others, and each will be blessed accordingly.
Has the Almighty hidden things knowing they shall be found?
“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory..” (1 Cor.2:7)
He says, “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.” (Prov. 25:2)
Clearly we see that The Almighty has indeed hidden things that shall be searched out, and these are related to wisdom. And in the different means of searching them out, we get different results.
Some you may be quite familiar with, another of which we shall cover in the next lesson.
In Jesus,
Raymond
Lesson 9: The Genesis Time-Line – Gematria and The L-RD
by Watchman Ray on Thursday, September 9, 2010 at 9:16pm
Gematria
‘Gematria’ is but one of the methods used for studying the scriptures. It is but one of the ‘sod’ or secret ways of study. Those who have explored it have been rewarded with a greater understanding of God’s Word.
It may appear as a useless endeavor to some, but when we look closely at relationships between words with the same numerical totals we discover something quite interesting.
For example:
The Hebrew for child, ‘Yaled’, for example is 44 (y = 10, l = 30, d = 4). The word for father is ‘Abba’, with letters Av, which is 3 (a = 1, b =2), and the word for mother is ‘Em’, which is 41 (\ = 40, a = 1).
The product of the father and the mother is the child, and it is more than coincidence to see that when we add the number of the father – 3 with the number of mother – 41 that we have the same product for the child – 44.
There are three (3) Patriarchs in the descent of the Jewish people. They are Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. There are four (4) Matriarchs, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah. This is one of the first things a child has to learn in Judaism today. Please note that 3 + 4 = 7. This too is no accident. This is the way Hebrew actually works!
The Hebrew name for Israel (‘Yisrael’) bears within it the acronym for these seven:
(yod) = Yizhak/Isaac, Yakov/Jacob
(shin) = Sarah
(resh) = Rivkah/Rebecca, Rehel/Rachel
(alef) = Avraham/Abraham
(lamed) = Leah
When we total all the Hebrew letters in each of the names above, we have 26 letters. This is the same number as the HOLY Name that is not pronounced by the Hebrews; it is most often translated ‘Lord’:
hwhy (h=5, w=6, h=5, y=10).
So we see the total letters in the names of the people who made up the beginnings of Israel are 26, and the name of THE HOLY ONE is also numerically 26.
It is the descendants of these 7 people that are given 7 feasts that they must keep unto the L-RD. 3 of those seven are males, and we see that of the seven feasts, 3 were to be kept by all males who would appear before the L-RD in Jerusalem every year on the appointed day. We also see these two numbers appear many times when speaking of the children of Israel.
‘Who Was, Is, Is To Come’
The name in the scriptures to describe The HOLY ONE is: Yod, He, Vav, He (h w h y). This name too can be divided into three Hebrew words. When we know this, we can understand better the quote in the book of Revelation that says,
“..which WAS, and which IS, and IS TO COME;…” – Rev.1:4. Why? Well, because
1. (hayah) means was.
2. (hoveh) means is.
3. (yiheyeh) means will be.
Following the Torah edict that everything must be established by at least two witnesses, we see we have a second Scriptural witness to this statement, when we hear the words of the angel:
“And I heard the angel of the waters say, ‘Thou art righteous, O Lord, WHICH ARE, AND WAS, AND SHALL BE, because Thou has judged thus.’” – Rev. 16:5.
It should also be noted that we have here exactly 3 words used. That these 3 words total exactly 10 letters (Yod He vav Hey), as ‘Was, Is, Is To Come’ – make a complete thought in the sense of tense. So does the number 10 – in that it completes the digits numerically.
It is the number of the 10 Commandments.
It is the last number that Abraham used in asking God to not destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, if but 10 righteous men were found.
A minyan of 10 Jewish men is used in Judaism, even to this day!
It is the number that Jacob used in stating a case against Laban and the changing, a total of 10 times, of his wages.
It is the number of curtains in the Tabernacle. The boards were to be of 10 cubits. The pillars 10, and their sockets were 10.
In prophecy, we are told that 10 women would bake their bread in one oven.
That 10 men will take hold of the skirt of the Jew, saying to him, “we will go with you.” (Zec. 8:23).
When we look, we see that many times the number 10 is used and it is used to describe things earthly, and something that is complete, for bad or good. For more understanding on the use and interpretation of numbers as used in Scripture and in Judaism, I ask you to read some of the earlier lessons I have posted here.
This is a brief recap through the prophetic viewpoint of Gematria. I have one more lesson after this, and then the rest is just commentary.
In Jesus,
Raymond
Lesson 10: The Genesis Timeline – The Last Articles
by Watchman Ray on Friday, September 10, 2010 at 12:06pm
This is the last in the ‘Genesis Time-Line’ series; I send two short articles, not one, but please be careful in reading this first one – as 5 is the number of ‘Grace’ and, as Ephesians 2:8 says: “It is by grace you have been saved, not works!”
The second article is my personal favorite of these two!
God bless you!
The Ten Commandments.
The 10 Commandments given to Moses on Sinai, were given on two tablets of stone.
The Hebrews teach us that 5 of these Commandments were concerning our obligations to God, and that the other 5 were man’s obligations to man.
When one has love for another he meets his obligations. When the Messiah was asked which is the greatest Commandment in the Law, He responded “You shall love the L-RD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest Commandment. And the second is like it. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two Commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” (Matt.22:36-40)
The Messiah describes the same relationship with the 10 Commandments as to our brothers and sisters. For 5 concern our obligation to God – which we shall do if we love Him, and 5 describe what our obligations are to man – if we love him.
We discover that 5 is the number of grace, and grace comes from [an earnest desire for] obedience. This is written in the Scriptures.
“Because Abraham -
(1) obeyed my voice,
(2) and kept my charge,
(3) my commandments,
(4) my statutes,
(5) and my laws.”
(Genesis 26:5)
Here we clearly see that because Abraham did these 5 things, he found grace in the eyes of The L-RD, and was given the promise. It was because of Abraham’s obedience that we learn The HOLY ONE changed his name from Abram to Abraham.
Abram is spelled in Hebrew with only 4 letters. The HOLY ONE added a 5th letter to his name, and it was the very letter in the Hebrew alphabet that has the numerical value of 5, the letter ‘Hey’.
It was his faith that made him do these things; as our faith causes us to do today.
“Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring – not only to those who are of the Law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.” (Romans 4:16)
Israel is made up of two root words. The first ‘YaShaR’ which is the root of the word for honesty and straight-forwardness in relationships toward man. The second part of the name Israel is ‘El’, the word translated ‘God’.
Here again, we see these 5 letters divided to mean honesty towards our relationship with God and man. (Remembering that the Hebrews read from right to left!).
‘The Smallest to the Greatest’
The smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet is the ‘yod’. The largest letter is ‘lamed’. Yod, the smallest, is the first letter of the name Israel, and Lamed is the largest, and it is also the last letter in Israel.
We see that The Messiah denotes that He is the First and the Last. He came from a people that were to go from the smallest to the greatest people on earth. The Scriptures all bear this smallest to greatest theme!
“And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.” (Matt.2:6)
So The Messiah had his origins among the tribe that was least in Israel, yet He would be the Greatest in the world. The Messiah Himself put forth this ideal in a parable.
“Another parable he told to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field.
Which indeed is the LEAST of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the GREATEST among herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in it’s branches.” (Matt.13:31-32)
This thought of the least to the greatest is also carried over into the people of Israel themselves, for in the book of Deuteronomy 7:7, we read:
“The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people, for you were the FEWEST of all people”
Just as an aside, I find it interesting to note it is in chapter 7, verse 7 that this appears! We also take note of Genesis 32:12, where it says,
“And You said, I will surely do you good, and make your seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.”
This denotes the greatness of the number of those who would be called Israel – so much so that it is a number that cannot be numbered.
“And I will make of you a GREAT nation, and I will bless you, and make your name GREAT; and you shalt be a blessing.” – Gen. 12:2.
In Jesus,

I think this letter is way overdue, and I’ve been putting it off for a long time – as the knot in my stomach grows tighter and tighter and tighter – and now I can put it off no longer. I have to speak. From some of the letters I’m receiving, I am wondering if some people are not able to put the full picture together of what is now happening.. are we really just ‘pulling the wool over our eyes’ and telling ourselves that – yes, although things are happening – that they are still happening in a more or less ‘general’ sense? THEY’RE NOT!!!
I really want to give you all a break-down of just how actually really freaky this is, but do so – as on a timetable, okay? I’ll be skipping a few major events, but there are so many – what can I do? .. I’ll try to cover the main points:
1948: Israel is re-established as a nation. This is the same year in Scripture that Abraham is born. In prophecy, Abraham prefigures Israel – personally! Applying Scripture’s ‘a day for a year’ rule in prophecy, fits well with the verse that asks “Can a nation be born in a day?” since Israel was born in a day – literally! At around 5AM, and was done so in a hurry – as 5 Arab nations immediately tried to kill Israel at birth! (Rev. 12:13) One year after this – in 1949 – the most unusual eclipses are seen. All nations now being brought into judgment with the birth of Israel, and so begin the End Times.
1967: After gaining the country, the Jewish people now gain the city, namely the Western Wall of Jerusalem, and have access to the site of the Holy Temple. Again winning a 6-day war against Arab nations massed together, to kill the possibility at its inception. During this war, were many angelic involvements – which were seen and reported by Arab commanders, but buried by Israeli authorities – which took place on the battlefield, and on behalf of Israel! Some of which, I have shared with you here.
Note the ‘language’ patterns of prophecy, here:
The 2nd World War was an attempt to stem the flow to Israel, in effect, to kill the country by stopping its birth. That war lasted from 1939-1945 – 6 years. The war for Jerusalem was an attempt to stem the flow of worship to God, and suppress the Jewish people, to kill their spirit under Arab dominance. That war lasted – 6 days.
‘A day for a year’.
The beginning of both wars are separated by a distance of exactly 22 years. To understand the very deep significance of this number, please go back and study the Genesis Timeline – The 10 lessons are in the ‘Notes’ section here. This is no accident. This is prophecy.
Exactly one year after the Six-Day war – in 1968 – the exact same unusual eclipses – again take place, and are seen by many.
1996: Gog of Magog (Russia) – joins the ‘Council of Europe’, this happens to be the same year in Scripture that the ‘Tower of Babel’ incident happened. Europe solidifies its power around this time, and becomes ‘one country without borders’, so to speak.
2006: 10 years later (see the Genesis Timeline for understanding the use of this number in Judaism) sees the beginning of a 3-year period of time during the last days – running from late 2006 through to late 2009 – possibly just before the Great Tribulation begins.
I was working with Bob during this time to try to open a Messianic-Jewish synagogue in this state. In November, direct and openly demonic attempts were made on my life, and God saved me from them. I was also reading John Hagee’s book “The Jerusalem Countdown” which opened my eyes to many things. I began to pray and study Scripture, and God opened my eyes to the Genesis Timeline for the first time.
At this time, a meteor falls from the sky and lands in Peru, punching through the water-table over Lake Titicaca. What is unusual about this event – is everything:
With all our technology, this meteorite was not seen or detected. Nobody knows where it came from. It was preceded by a hail of stones which according to news reports, were about ‘the size of a man’s hand’ (Rev.16:21 – some translations read ‘about a 100 pounds’). When it landed, it poisoned the water and the air, animals fell sick and died; the people living in that area could not breathe the air and suffered nausea, dizziness, vomiting and all kinds of other strange sicknesses after drinking the water (Rev. 8:11). It was at this time I was wondering if this could not, perhaps, be a forerunner of the star in the book of Revelation, named ‘Wormwood’?
Point to note: This event took place exactly 20 years (2×10) after the ‘Chernobyl’ disaster in Russia (Gog of Magog), so now we have 3 lots of ’10′ in 2006 alone, and all of them are connected with Russia!
In Russian, the word ‘Chernobyl’ – means ‘Wormwood’. (Go figure!!!)
2008: The highlight or ‘center’ of the 3-year period, comes 60 years after Israel has been re-established as a nation in the Last Days. If this period leads into the Great Tribulation of Revelation, then it makes sense to me – as the book of Revelation was written exactly 60 years after the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. I tried to warn people that something unusual but of major prophetic significance was going to happen in 2008. And if I had these numbers right, I suspected that not 1 event, but 3 events, as God seems to punctuate His signature of the End Times, in 3′s .. so we would know. (3 denotes great emphasis in Judaism!)
Event 1: Bush splits Jerusalem in a document using international law, binding Israel to an eventual split of the Holy city that cannot be broken. The area he signs away, includes half the Holy Temple area (Matthew 24:15).
As he flew over to finalize the details of this evil scheme, he acts like Nebuchadnezzar and demands the lights of Jerusalem be turned off – so he can have a nice view of the Western Wall from his hotel balcony the next morning. “Out of nowhere” (words quoted – Arkansas Democrat Gazette) a fog appears that was nowhere to be seen on the charts the previous evening .. and appears so thick, that Bush’s chopper cannot take off and he is forced to be driven through unprepared streets to physically eyeball the city he is betraying. It is during this time that the moon appears as blood-red over Jerusalem, and storms raged across the American Mid-West. In those storms, the only town that was hit, and in particular, its only place of worship – that was utterly decimated! – was the town of Jerusalem in northern Arkansas!
It is at this point that even Orthodox Jews begin addressing Bush – ‘Mr. Bush, you’re being spoken to .. and you’re just not listening!’
Event 2: The rise of Obama. Accompanied by another meteor, pointing like a finger of God – that exploded over the heart of Africa. Again, nobody knows where it came from. Nobody on the planet, saw it coming.
Louis Farrakhan, follower and personal friend of the ‘Grand Mufti of Jerusalem’, who helped Hitler write his ‘Final Solution’ on Jews in Europe, stands up and publicly applauds Obama during his presidential campaign, informing the crowds, and I quote, “This is your Messiah! Listen to him, because the Messiah is absolutely speaking!” .. a term that has never been dropped. For anyone doubting this quote, I have recordings of this speech, which I will be happy to send out.
Other things happened too, but they are small enough to ignore here.
Event 3: I waited as along as I could, throughout 2008, feeling sure that there had to be a 3rd event. By December, nothing had happened and I began to question whether I was seeing these things correctly or not, and by mid-December – I was racking my brains in case I had perhaps missed something .. but nothing. Then on December 28 (or 27th – depending on which side of the world you’re on!), 3 days before the end of the gentile year, Ehud Olmert stood up and placed the Golan Heights as a permanent pawn on the table, in negotiations with the Arabs.
Scripture lists the Golan Heights as the location from where the last attack on Israel will be launched, whereupon God – Himself – will rain down His fury upon His enemies, in Daniel. I knew that this was the 3rd event.
That’s all for now. I will get to the other parts when I have more time.
God bless you
In Jesus,
Raymond

Okay, so we know this:
The 3+1/2 year period of the Genesis Timeline (2006-2010), was ‘centered’ in the year 2008.
Not only did much prophecy take place in 2008, but many, many people across the globe started receiving visions and dreams during that year, in fulfillment of Acts 2:17 and Joel 2:28-30 where it reads:
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, BEFORE that great and notable Day of the Lord.”
The visions and dreams that were received by so many in 2008, were not only consistent in their message of the things coming upon the earth in the Last Days – and others that were pointing toward the year 2010 in warning, immediately after the 3-year period’s ending – but these were accompanied by the first of a series of 3 eclipses leading from 2008 – into – the year 2010!!!
The dates of these eclipses are (and NOTE their configurations!) -:
August 1, 2008 (Covering the northern hemisphere of the earth!) – Jewish date: Av 9.
July 22, 2009 (It covered the equatorial regions of the world!) – Jewish date: Av 9.
July 11, 2010 (This one will cover the southern hemisphere!) – Jewish date: Av 9.
“The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, BEFORE ..” (Joel 2:31; Acts 2: 20)
All of these dates just happen to occur on the exact same date, the 9th in the Jewish month of Av! .. What’s so special about Av 9?
The Second Temple was destroyed on Av 9.
The Spanish expelled the Jewish people from their nation on Av 9.
Hitler began His ‘Final Solution’ on Av. 9.
In fact, there are too many examples of things that have happened to the Jewish people on Av. 9 to list here, but it is enough to understand that this date is viewed as a curse on the Jewish calendar. But here we have 3 eclipses – SOLAR eclipses – on 3 consecutive years – that all happen to occur on Av 9! And God says in His Word, that He will turn the curses into blessings.
In Judaism, the number 9 signifies judgment!
Remembering that it is the Gentile nations that live by the Solar (Gregorian) Calendar, not the Jewish nation. So take note that this is a message – that God is bringing all the nations of the world into judgment, as they gather against His people, Israel!
But if the 70-year period running 1948-2018 ends in just 8 years, then how are you going to fit a 7-year period of Tribulation inside the remaining years, unless things begin to happen pretty quickly? As soon as 2010 began, according to the world’s own Gregorian calendar, the earth started being hit by *massive* earthquakes – one after another – on a scale never seen before! What’s amazing about these quakes is not their number (for the statisticians) but their range, precision in location, and their magnitude on the Richter scale.
On March 16, the Jewish people began work on the 3rd Holy Temple, beginning with its altar and the pouring of the foundation stones, and then on Sunday, March the 29th, the Jewish people began performing animal sacrifices for Passover.
It is interesting to note that on the evening of March 28th, I wrote an email with the statistics provided by research from Conservative Radio host Billy Cunningham that, up until that point – for that month alone – there had been exactly 666 earthquakes that measured over 4.0 on the Richter scale. (Below 4.0 – quakes are usually registered as ‘tremors’ unless there is great damage involved!)
The Bible calls Satan the ‘god of this world’ – and indeed, we live in a world of lies! In early 2010, the world’s leaders all stood up to bring attention to ‘global warming’ (which is really a means of solidifying *immense* power over the world’s population, but everyone knows that now, so there’s no need to digress)
God’s response?
The *whole* of the top hemisphere of the entire earth was chunked in more snow – at the same time! – than has ever been previously recorded in history!
God, it seems, is not without a sense of irony, let alone humor! – It has simply never happened before – that the whole northern hemisphere got it all at once! In fact even now, California has just had another two inches of ‘global warming’ dumped on it in the last month, at the time of this writing!
But back to the earthquakes:
The first of 2010 – BOOM! – hit Haiti .. low on the Richter Scale, but absolutely decimated the U.N. headquarters for their so-called ‘peace-keeping’ forces!!!
‘Zionism As Racism’ is the U.N’s officially-adopted slogan of policy toward Israel, meaning they wholeheartedly support the death of Israel as a means of ‘keeping peace’ with Arab nations. But even among the first count of 50,000 dead, not one person from among Haiti’s large Jewish community is reported as being among them!
The second – BOOM! – hit Concepcion, Chile – the 5th largest quake ever recorded in human history there! This happened at the same time the Arabs were persecuting the Jewish passing by, and preventing them from visiting Rachel’s Tomb in Bethlehem, where Jewish people go to pray during times of national distress.
Concepcion .. happens to be the world’s largest community of Palestinians, outside of Israel. The quake registered a massively unprecedented 8.8 on the Richter Scale! – and as you know from our studies in the Genesis Timeline, 8 is the number of Covenant (read: Messiah!).
The third – BOOM! – hit California, and there are more messages in this one than I have time to write out here. But right on the San Andreas fault line .. it was a warning, because if that thing went off, it would wipe California off the map!
And now – BOOM!! – BOOM!! – BOOM!! – BOOM!! – Turkey, Baja, Indonesia, India, and now China (who has just called for an end to the US dollar and use of a one-world currency) – they’re all over the place now! This coming at the same time the American leadership includes in its current 2000-page health care bill, introduction and use of the microchip for all U.S. citizens, amongst the other invasive procedures, to be introduced in 2013.
Almost all of these countries are heavily involved in the persecution and murder of Jews and Christians; the rest are investing in the New World Order.
Having said that, do you remember the strange and unusual eclipses that occurred 1 year after the events of 1948 and 1967, that we mentioned in Part 1? .. They came after the re-establishment of Israel as a nation (the country), and the recapturing of the Temple Wall in Jerusalem (the city).
Well, the eclipses are due to occur again in the Jewish year running from 2014-2015, but all four of the LUNAR (the Moon – the Jewish calendar!) eclipses taking place – not only are blood-red moons, but all of them – again, are taking place on Jewish Holy Days!
This being the case, that the eclipses occur one year after the event, what is going to happen in the year 2013? We’ve already partially answered that, with the wicked things being planned against the people, but as far whether they indicate the completion of the Holy Temple and/or the blasphemy of the Anti-Christ, who can say for definite?
Only the Lord knows. But something.
Here’s a question: (It blew my mind at work yesterday & I had no idea where it came from!)
If accepting the microchip equals eternal damnation (and we know it does!), then how can those left behind by the Rapture, turn to Christ due to the Rapture having taken place, and so repent – and be *accepted* for their repentance! – if they have been microchipped???
They can’t!!!!
Therefore, does this not show that if the Tribulation starts when microchipping takes place, that the Rapture must – of necessity! – take place BEFOREHAND – in order for those left behind to have time to repent and decide for themselves – ‘Heaven or Microchip?’
If we are raptured during or after the microchipping, then how would the great repentance take place??? If we have understood things correctly, we might experience some of the trouble, but you can rest assured of this .. we won’t have too long to wait! And even if we have to – it will be in the knowledge that our Lord and Savior is Faithful and True to His word.
“Behold, I am coming quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” – Revelation 22:12-13.
“And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved.” – Acts 2:21.

Please understand that these ‘God is Speaking’ posts include the ending that they include, *only* on the basis of – *IF!* – the ‘pre-tribulation rapture’ viewpoint is a correct interpretation of End-Time events.
If its not – BE AWARE! – Many will be fooled into damning their souls forever via their own disappointment, and also by the liberal teachings and propagandized views of the ‘Emergent Church’.
Believe me when I say this:
Those who accept the microchip will have a ‘spiritual viewpoint’ for doing so, and it may even sound convincing to some .. but it is there merely as a salve to the conscience. Do you really think they are going to be wailing and moaning, as they carry on their daily lives?
No, of course not! They will find some way of making themselves feel alright again and carrying on their normal lives, even those who continue going to church. They will their families to think of, etc. And is there a historic precedent for this? – Yes! – There is always a historic precedent, and it can be found here:
That way, they are more convincing to those who are caught in the tough situation – of not being able to eat or work, without the chip.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED!
Many will fall away.
