A Wheel Within A Wheel
Chapter 14
The Sign of Jonas
The Sign of Jonas
What is the sign of Jonas? The Lord tells us that there shall be a sign of Jonas that will be given and this will be the only sign.
Matthew 16:1-4 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
Using the Spiritual Overlay and the Metaphorical Language along with the ‘Signs of the Times’ we will find that the ‘Signs of the Times’ are telling us that the time is very near for the culmination of the Tribulation. But also, the Lord has given us ‘The Sign of Jonas’ in a very real way, but everyone has missed it. They are not looking for the sign that the Lord has stated in the scriptures would come; they are looking for a sign in a different direction.
The sign they are looking signifying ‘the end of the world’ is a sign that has been concocted by their own false beliefs. The false gods they follow has developed into a religion apart from God. They are looking for a sign from their false gods who can neither speak nor answer them. The Lord sent ‘The sign of Jonas’ and they missed it for they are not looking for it. Another prophecy has been fulfilled. The world saw it, but they did not recognize what they saw was prophecy being fulfilled.
The modern day apostate Christians did not realize that they had been given forty days to repent of their false idol worship and instead they erected their golden calf to worship. The reason they did not repent, is they don’t think they have to repent. They believe they are in the will of the Lord. They are the Multitude, the Serpents, and the Scorpions.
The Lord is not going to condemn this generation to destruction unless He warns them first. He has warned them and they have not heeded His warning for they have not seen it. Their judgement is set. The net has been cinched tight and none shall escape.
Before ‘The Sign of Jonas’ is revealed, we need to gain a deeper understanding of what ‘The Sign of Jonas’ really is. In the New Testament, Jonah is called Jonas. Just as Paul used to be Saul prior to his conversion, Jonas was called Jonah. The book of Jonah is only 4 chapters. Let’s do a quick overview of that book before we dig in.
The Lord told Jonah to go and warn Nineveh that they would be destroyed unless they repent of their evil doings. Jonah disobeyed the Lord and wanted to go his own way. When Jonah decided on going a different direction than the Lord wanted him to go, the Lord threw the ship that he was on into a very bad storm.
The crew and Jonah came to the conclusion that the Lord brought the storm because of Jonah’s disobedience to the Lord. Jonah volunteered to be thrown overboard into the sea where a great fish (Whale) swallowed him. Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights foretelling Jesus Christ’s time between the crucifixion and resurrection.
The whale then spits out Jonah onto dry land where he then goes to Nineveh to warn them of coming destruction unless they repent. The city of Nineveh repents and averts their destruction.
When we dig into the scripture applying the Spiritual Overlay and Metaphorical Language, there is much to be revealed about this story of Jonah and how it applies to our present time. Remember, all of these things happened to them for us upon whom the ends of the world are come. (1 Corinthians 10:11 paraphrased)
They were written for our admonition. Admonition is defined as learning and warning. We need to understand what is being said in the book of Jonah.
Luke 11:30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
Jonas (Jonah) was a sign to the Ninevites. He preached to the Ninevites and he warned the Ninevites of coming destruction unless they repented. Jesus was making the statement that just as Jonas (Jonah) preached and warned the Ninevites; Jesus was preaching and warning the generation of His time. Jesus in another passage declares what the generation during His time was.
Matthew 12:39-42 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
There are many items within the book of Jonah that we need to study to gain a full understanding of how it applies to end time events. The passage above speaks about the men of Nineveh and the Queen of the South that will rise up in judgment and condemn it. We will come back to these passages late in this chapter.
To begin looking at the entire book of Jonah, we will apply the Spiritual Overlay and Metaphorical language to each of several potions of the book of Jonah. To begin, we look at when the Lord told Jonah to go to Nineveh and proclaim the warning.
Jonah didn’t want to do this so he fled from the presence of the Lord and sought to do what he wanted. Isn’t that exactly what today’s modern Christians do? They accept Jesus into their lives and then seek another way. They go their own way and not the way of the Lord. What happened to Jonah next?
The ship encounters a very bad storm. The ship looks like it will succumb to the raging waves of the sea. This is the Tribulation that the Multitude gets thrown into. The Multitude does not listen to the Lord and are thrown into the Tribulation. Jonah then willingly gets thrown into the sea. A whale swallows him up saving him from utter destruction. This coincides with the saving of the Multitude’s soul when the Tribulation is upon them.
The three days and three nights that Jonah is in the whale’s belly is a foreshadowing of the three days and three nights Jesus is in the heart of the earth.
The prayer that Jonah cries out to the Lord during the time he is in the belly of the whale is what the Multitude will be praying while they are in captivity. Definitions within the words used will be noted below.
Jonah 2:1,2 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction (Tribulation) unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly (Womb = man child of Revelation 12) of hell (Inmates – they will be in prison when they cry out to the Lord) cried I, and thou heardest my voice. (The Lord will hear them when they repent)
3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, (Into the deep of the sea of Babylon with her waves roaring – Luke 21:25) in the midst of the seas; (Sea of Babylon) and the floods (The Multitude knew not until the flood came and took them away) compassed (Encircled – Serpents from the north and east, Scorpions from the south and west) me about: all thy billows (Bring to birth = man child of Revelation 12) and thy waves passed over me.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. (Song of Moses – Deuteronomy 31:16-19)
5 The waters (Flood = Tribulation) compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth (Great commotion, tumult, the Tribulation) closed me round about, (Surrounded or compassed – by Serpents and Scorpions) the weeds were wrapped about my head. (Papyrus or reed - 1Kings 14:15 For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger.
The groves that today’s apostate church has made is the following and worshipping of other gods which is ‘Three transgressions, and four’ – See ‘For Three Transgressions, and Four series on the website www.thethreshingflooracacemy.com
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; (The bottoms of the mountains is in the valley of decision and of death) the earth with her bars (Fugitive – the Multitude is in prison/captivity) was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God. (The Lord will save them)
7 When my soul fainted (Languishing in captivity) within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. (The Multitude repents and calls on the Lord to help them)
8 They that observe lying vanities (Following and worshipping other gods – The four transgressions) forsake their own mercy. (The Multitude has fallen out of favor of God)
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. (The payment of the Multitude is their physical life to gain eternal life)
10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited (Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, (Multitude) and neither cold (Serpent) nor hot, (Scorpion) I will spue (Vomit) thee out of my mouth.) out Jonah upon the dry land. (Dry land signifies devoid of truth – no rivers of living water, which is where the Multitude is.)
Jonah 3:1-4 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
After Jonah was vomited out of the whale, he finally heeded what the Lord had instructed him to do in the first place. He traveled to Nineveh arriving in one day. It was a three days journey to reach the heart of the city for it was a very large city.
They were given forty days to repent. The king of Nineveh and all the people repented of their evil ways and God spared them.
Jonah then became angry that the Lord was going to spare Nineveh.
Jonah 4:1-4 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?
After all that Jonah had been through, fleeing from the Lord, being in a ship that was in a very great storm, getting thrown overboard and swallowed by a whale. Having gone through all of that, and Nineveh gets a pass? Jonah wanted some justification for all that he had endured and now the Lord was going to spare them? Jonah obviously had a bad attitude.
But that is not the end of the story. After Jonah delivered God’s proclamation, he retreated to the east side of the city where he was going to hang out to see what God was going to do. It is what happened next that brings together some very relevant passages and our understanding of those passages. Deciphering this next passage tells us where the mindset of today’s apostate church is set and the following consequences culminating with the Tribulation.
Jonah 4:5-8 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city. And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd. But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
Jonah builds a booth which provides him shade. The Lord gives him a gourd to provide shade from the sun. The Lord sends a worm that kills the gourd. The sun beats down upon Jonah causing him to faint from the heat.
There is much to be learned from this passage. When we apply the Spiritual Overlay and Metaphorical Language to this passage, a story within the story is told.
First, let’s take a look at the definition of booth and shadow.
Booth 05521 cukkah, sook-kaw' fem of 5520; a hut or lair:--booth, cottage, covert, pavilion, tabernacle, tent.
5520 cok, soke from 5526; a hut (as of entwined boughs); also a lair: -- covert, den, pavilion, tabernacle.
Shadow 06738 tsel, tsale from 6751; shade, whether literal or figurative:--defence, shade(-ow).
06751 tsalal, tsaw-lal' a primitive root (identical with 6749 through the idea of hovering over (compare 6754)); to shade, as twilight or an opaque object:--begin to be dark, shadowing.
06754 tselem, tseh'-lem from an unused root meaning to shade; a phantom, i.e. (figuratively) illusion, resemblance; hence, a representative figure, especially an idol:--image, vain shew.
Let’s now compare the definitions of booth and shade to the definitions of den in a passage in Revelation.
Revelation 6:15-17 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Dens 4693 spelaion, spay'-lah-yon …a cavern; by implication, a hiding-place or resort:--cave, den.
2928 krupto, kroop'-to a primary verb; to conceal (properly, by covering):--hide (self), keep secret, secret(-ly).
Hide 2928 krupto, kroop'-to a primary verb; to conceal (properly, by covering):--hide (self), keep secret, secret(-ly).
An additional item of note is a warning that Jesus put forth in a verse that has two parts to it that connects to the definitions of falsehoods, dens, and hide. The other part of the verse connects to the book of Jonah.
Matthew 24:25, 26 Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
The desert is dry land, a wasteland, hot and barren, void of water. The whale vomited Jonah out upon dry land.
Jonah 2:10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
The word secret of secret chambers connects to the definitions found under the words falsehoods, dens, and the word hide.
The warning that Jesus put forth in Matthew 24:25, 26 is telling you not to go into the dry places devoid of the Truth, lacking rivers of living water. He is also telling you not to go into the lies and falsehoods of worshipping other gods.
Rocks and mountains signify the Truth and the Word of God. The 144,000 are on the mountains, in the Truth and Word of God. The Multitude, Serpents, and Scorpions are not in the Truth. They are in lies and falsehoods.
Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone.
1 Peter 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
And yet another passage that mirrors Jonah 4:5 and Revelation 6:15-17.
Isaiah 28:15-18 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
Lies 03577 kazab, kaw-zawb' from 3576; falsehood; literally (untruth) or figuratively (idol):--deceitful, false, leasing, + liar, lie, lying.
Refuge 04268 machaceh, makh-as-eh' …from 2620; a shelter (literally or figuratively):--hope, (place of) refuge, shelter, trust.
02620 chacah, khaw-saw' a primitive root; to flee for protection (compare 982); figuratively, to confide in:--have hope, make refuge, (put) trust.
0982 batach, baw-takh' a primitive root; properly, to hie for refuge…figuratively, to trust, be confident or sure:--be bold (confident, secure, sure), careless (Foolish virgin) (one, woman), put confidence, (make to) hope, (put, make to) trust.
Falsehood 08267 sheqer, sheh'-ker from 8266; an untruth; by implication, a sham (often adverbial):--without a cause, deceit(-ful), false(-hood, -ly), feignedly, liar, + lie, lying, vain (thing), wrongfully.
05641 cathar, saw-thar' a primitive root; to hide (by covering), literally or figuratively:--be absent, keep close, conceal, hide (self), (keep) secret, X surely.
If you look at the definitions of booth, dens, refuge, and hid in the previous passages, they are all saying the same thing. If you look at shadow, hiding from the wrath, lies, and falsehoods, they are all saying the same thing.
Booth = Den = Refuge of Lies = Hiding place
Shade = Mountains and Rocks falling on them to cover their lies = Refuge of lies = Falsehoods
Let’s now take a look at the definitions of gourd and worm.
In my younger years, I worked with gourds making birdhouses and different art and crafts. When you cut into a gourd, the dust from the pulp inside the gourd would waft through the air. It has a very bitter taste to it and is extremely unpleasant. Gourds are not edible by any means.
Gourd 07021 qiyqayown, kee-kaw-yone' perhaps from 7006; the gourd (as nauseous):--gourd.
07006 qayah, kaw-yaw' a primitive root; to vomit:--spue.
Notice the under-definition for gourd. It has both vomit and spue. Jonah was vomited out of the whale’s mouth and the Lord spues out the ‘Lukewarm’ (Multitude) out of His mouth.
There is another passage that uses gourd found in 2 Kings.
2 Kings 4:38-41 And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets. And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not. So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof. But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.
The gourds used in cooking the pot of pottage made the pottage poisonous. It made the ‘sons of the prophets’ sick to the point that they proclaimed that there was death in the pot. It can be referred to as ‘poison in the pot’. Poison or death in the pot comes from the gourds that were put in that pot. Gourd is representative of the lies and falsehoods of worshipping and following after other gods.
The gourd that the Lord used to shade Jonah was a similitude of the end days lies and falsehoods represented in the ‘For Three Transgressions, and Four’. These four transgressions are 1. The Christians holding up physical Israel and the physical Jews as the chosen people. 2. Christmas. 3. Easter. 4. The Rapture Doctrine. (See the series ‘For Three Transgressions, and Four’ on the website at www.thethreshingflooracademy.com)
Let’s now look at the definition of worm.
Worm 08438 towla`, to-law' …from 3216; a maggot (as voracious); …the crimson-grub, but used only (in this connection) of the color from it, and cloths dyed therewith:--crimson, scarlet, worm.
Looking up the definitions of crimson and scarlet in the dictionary, we find the following.
Scarlet colour 2847 kokkinos, kok'-kee-nos from 2848 (from the kernel-shape of the insect); crimson-colored:--scarlet (colour, coloured).
Scarlet: Merriam Webster Dictionary noun, 1.scarlet, 2. any of various bright reds
Crimson: Merriam Webster Dictionary : noun 1. crimson. Synonym of crimson: any of several deep purplish reds
Revelation 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
The worm in Jonah that was sent to destroy the gourd (lies and falsehoods) is connected to the Whore of Babylon found in Revelation. The Whore of Babylon is comprised of the Serpents, Scorpions, and Multitude and the destruction of Babylon. The whore is arrayed in purple and scarlet color.
Both dictionary definitions of scarlet and crimson are the color red. More specifically, the worm represents the Serpents as we can see the second horse and rider in the second seal is red. The second seal with the red horse and its rider is the Serpents.
Revelation 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
Let’s take a look at a couple of definitions of the words found in this verse.
Red 4450 purrhos, poor-hros' from 4442; fire-like, i.e. (specially), flame- colored:--red.
4442 pur, poor a primary word; "fire" (literally or figuratively, specially, lightning):--fiery, fire.
The color red has within its definition lighting and fire.
Fire is what the Multitude goes through. It is the Serpents that are identified as fire in this definition. The Scorpions are also fire in other verses and definitions. In Zechariah 13:8, one third (Multitude) is brought through the fire. That would be the fire of the Serpents and Scorpions.
Zechariah 13:9 And I will bring the third part (Multitude) through the fire, (Tribulation at the hands of the Serpents and Scorpions) and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
The Serpents will kill them, or more accurately, will slaughter them.
Kill 4969 sphazo, sfad'-zo a primary verb; to butcher (especially an animal for food or in sacrifice) or (generally) to slaughter, or (specially), to maim (violently):--kill, slay, wound.
The sword that the Serpents wield against the Multitude is the chastisement or the judicial punishment.
Sword 3162 machaira, makh'-ahee-rah …a knife, i.e. dirk; figuratively, war, judicial punishment:--sword.
One of the other definitions within the word ‘Red’ is the word lightning.
Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
The lightning is also representative of the judicial punishment by the sword that the Serpents and Red Horse and Rider wield. It comes from the east which would be referring to Washington DC. Washington DC is where laws are established that will be used to persecute, prosecute, and execute the Multitude.
The word ‘Lightning’ also shows up in the definition of the word glitter found in the next passage. This passage is also speaking about a sword and the sore slaughter that follows. The sword is in the hand of the slayer which is the Serpents.
Ezekiel 21:9-11 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished: It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree. And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
Glitter: 01300 baraq, baw-rawk' from 1299; lightning; by analogy, a gleam; concretely, a flashing sword:--bright, glitter(-ing sword), lightning.
01299 baraq, baw-rak' a primitive root; to lighten (lightning):--cast forth.
The worm (Serpents wielding the judicial punishment of God using the sword to slaughter the Multitude) destroys the gourd (Lies and Falsehoods of following after other gods) which provided the shade. (The covering of those lies which the Multitude hides themselves under) The sun (Scorpions unleashed by the Serpents) then beats down upon Jonah (Multitude) and causes him to faint. (The Multitude’s hope in their lies (Gourd) is destroyed and they faint. The Multitude realizes they are under judgement of God, their beliefs that they were going to escape God’s Judgement has now vanished and they must repent.)
Jonah 4:5-8 So Jonah (Multitude portion) went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, (Babylon) and there made him a booth, (A place of refuge) and sat under it in the shadow, (The Multitude goes dark with their beliefs in false gods) till he might see what would become of the city. And the LORD God prepared a gourd, (Lies and Falsehoods – Poison in the Pot) and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, (The covering of the lies and turning their back on Truth) to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd. But God prepared a worm (Serpents wielding the sword with judicial punishment) when the morning rose the next day, (The morning is another term for the Tribulation –Ezekiel 7: 7 The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.) and it (Worm - Serpents) smote (In the definition of ‘smote’ is the word slaughter.) the gourd (Lies and Falsehoods – Poison in the Pot) that it withered. (Lies and Falsehoods – Poison in the Pot – Some of the definitions within the word ‘withered’ is dry up, confused, ashamed – Which is the state that the Multitude will be in. Their beliefs in false gods will dissipate when they find out that it is those beliefs that got them there in the first place.) And it came to pass, when the sun (Scorpions) did arise, (Locust rise up out of the smoke from the pit in the fifth trumpet) that God prepared a vehement east wind; (The Kings of the East – See Revelation 16:12) and the sun (Scorpions) beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. (The Multitude repents and knows it is better from them to die so they can live. They do not wish to live the life they had following other gods any longer. They also realize that they have no choice if they want eternal life everlasting.)
Isaiah 28:15-18 Because ye (Multitude) have said, We (Multitude) have made a covenant (The Multitude is mingled with the Serpents and Scorpions within their churches) with death, (Serpents – Fourth Horseman – Revelation 6:8) and with hell (Scorpions – The Horse following the Fourth Horseman – Revelation 6:8) are we at agreement; (The Multitude is mingled with the Serpents and Scorpions within their churches) when the overflowing (The cleansing of the robes of the Multitude) scourge (The Scorpions given power from the Serpents) shall pass through, (The process of the Tribulation) it (The Tribulation) shall not come unto us: (Multitude) for we (Multitude) have made lies (Belief in other gods) our refuge, (Booth they built, Den in the rocks) and under falsehood (Belief in other gods) have we hid (Booth they built, Den in the rocks) ourselves: (Multitude) Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: (Jesus Christ) he that believeth shall not make haste. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail (Serpents – Hail portion of ‘Hail and Fire mingled with blood of the First trumpet) shall sweep away the refuge (Booth they built, Den in the rocks) of lies, (Belief in other gods) and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. And your covenant (The Multitude is mingled with the Serpents and Scorpions within their churches) with death (Serpents – Fourth Horseman – Revelation 6:8) shall be disannulled, and your agreement (The Multitude is mingled with the Serpents and Scorpions within their churches) with hell (Scorpions – The Horse following the Fourth Horseman – Revelation 6:8) shall not stand; when the overflowing (The cleansing of the robes of the Multitude) scourge (The Scorpions given power from the Serpents) shall pass through, (The process of the Tribulation ) then ye (Multitude) shall be trodden down (Multitude is taken into captivity and executed) by it. (The process of the Tribulation to cleanse His Church)
An item of note in the above passage is the word ‘Scourge’.
Scourge 07752 showt, shote from 7751; a lash (literally or figuratively):--scourge, whip.
When you look up the word ‘Scorpion’ in the Old Testament, you find the following definition.
Scorpion 06137 `aqrab, ak-rawb' of uncertain derivation; a scorpion; figuratively, a scourge or knotted whip:--scorpion.
The Scourge is The Scorpions sent by the Serpents.
Revelation 6:15-17 And the kings of the earth, (Serpents, Scorpions, Multitude) and the great men, (Serpents, Scorpions, Multitude) and the rich men, (Serpents, Scorpions, Multitude) and the chief captains, (Serpents, Scorpions, Multitude) and the mighty men, (Serpents, Scorpions, Multitude) and every bondman, (Serpents, Scorpions, Multitude) and every free man, (Serpents, Scorpions, Multitude) hid (Lies of Refuge, Falsehoods) themselves in the dens (Booth, refuge) and in the rocks (Using the Bible to substantiate their false beliefs) of the mountains; (Today’s apostate church) And said to the mountains (Today’s apostate church) and rocks, (Using the Bible to substantiate their false beliefs) Fall on us, and hide us (Lies of Refuge, Falsehoods) from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: (Judgement of God using the Tribulation to bring the judgement of God) For the great day of his wrath is come; (Tribulation) and who shall be able to stand? (Only the 144,000 will be standing – Ephesians 6:13)
Booth = Den = Refuge of Lies = Hiding place
Gourd = Lies = Falsehoods
Worm = Serpents = The Wrath of God they are trying to hide from = Hail = Waters shall overflow = The flood comprised of the Serpents and Scorpions that comes and takes them away.
Sun = Scorpions = The Wrath of God they are trying to hide from = Scourge = Scorpions
The booth, dens and rocks, lies of refuge, and falsehoods that the apostate church has built around themselves is encapsulated within the ‘Three Transgressions, and Four.’
The belief system that the apostate church has built with lies and falsehoods are that the physical Israel and physical Jews are God’s chosen people, Christmas, Easter, and the Rapture Doctrine.
The booth they build, the dens and rocks they hide in, the refuge they make with these lies and the falsehoods they hide behind all have one thing in common. They use the Bible handpicking verses to substantiate their false doctrines. In doing so, they are saying to the mountains and rocks (Their handpicked verses that protect their false doctrine) to cover up their false beliefs and keep them from the Tribulation which is the wrath of God and of the Lamb.
Using the handpicked verses, they believe they are in the will of God and are not destined for the wrath of God. Some of the important verses that they use to benefit their false belief system are the following.
Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
This is one of the main verses that the apostate Christian church uses to substantiate the belief that physical Israel and the physical Jews are God’s chosen people. At one time they were. But the Lord divorced them because they kept going after other gods.
It is the circumcision of the heart in Jesus Christ that one becomes a spiritual Jew and a resident of spiritual Israel as Paul states in Romans 2:28, 29.
Romans 2:28, 29 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; (Physical Israel, physical Jew) neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, (Spiritual Israel, Spiritual Jew) and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
The apostate Christian church pays no heed to Romans 2:28, 29. Because that will obliterate their belief that physical Israel and the physical Jews are God’s chosen people.
What they have done is given away their birthright to a people that do not even believe in Jesus as the Messiah. They have committed the sin of Esau who sold his birthright for a morsel of meat.
Hebrews 12:16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
They also ignore this next passage found in Malachi.
Malachi 1:3, 4 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons (Serpents) of the wilderness. Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, (Serpents and Scorpions) and, The people (Serpents and Scorpions) against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.
Or this passage in Obadiah
Obadiah 1:6-9 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up! All the men of thy (Multitude) confederacy (Serpents and Scorpions) have brought thee (Multitude) even to the border: the men (Serpents and Scorpions) that were at peace with thee (Multitude) have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread (Scorpions) have laid a wound under thee: (Multitude) there is none understanding in him. (Serpents and Scorpions) Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, (Serpents and Scorpions) and understanding out of the mount of Esau? (Serpents and Scorpions) And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. (Multitude executed at the hands of the Serpents)
Today’s apostate church has give away their birthright and worship a people (Physical Israel and the physical Jews) as the chosen people. The Lord divorced them a long time ago.
Now, concerning the current war that is being waged against Hamas by Israel gives the Christian apostate church their rally cry to lift up a false god that they follow and worship for the Lord tells them to bless the Jews and Israel, or so they think. These are the lies of refuge and falsehoods that they have hid themselves under.
Israel has every right to wage war against Hamas. But Israel and the Jewish people are just that, they are another nation just like Ecuador or Italy. They have a right to exist as a people and a nation. Where the mistake is made concerning Israel and the Jewish people is lifting them up as the chosen people. When the apostate Christian church does that, they give away their birthright and the Lord hates that just as the Lord hates Esau.
The rebuilding of desolate places that were abandoned when the Lord divorced Israel is the resurrection of Esau’s heritage. The Lord will be bringing it down. The Christians with the rebuilt Esau heritage uses their false belief that if they support Israel because they are the chosen people, they are blessing Israel. If they bless Israel, they in turn will be blessed. Therefore, under their false belief system, God would never make them go through the Tribulation. This is the shade that they are covering themselves with.
The Multitude believes they will be taken out of all of this before the Tribulation begins. After all, they are blessing Israel, right? And deeper down the rabbit hole we go. They take this next passage as their escape out of here before God brings down His wrath upon the church.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
The apostate church pulls the shade over them and implores the rocks (Truth of the Bible that they twist) to cover them. They don’t study the scriptures to show themselves approved. If they would look up the definition of the word ‘remain’ they would find the word ‘left’.
They don’t search out the things of God. The verses that speak about ‘one shall be taken, one shall be left’ is speaking about the Multitude being taken and the 144,000 being left. This verse is not even speaking about the Multitude, but rather the 144,000. The Multitude is in the passage, but they are the in the part of the verse that states ‘and the dead in Christ shall rise first.’ The Multitude is the ‘dead in Christ.’ The Multitude is executed and rises first before the 144,000 are ‘caught up’.
The Multitude uses that passage as their doctrine for the rapture false god that they follow. To further substantiate their beliefs, they hold onto this next verse.
1Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
The Multitude believes that God would not bring wrath down upon them because they bless Israel and the Jewish people as the chosen people of God. They believe that God would not bring wrath down upon them because they celebrate His birth at Christmas and His resurrection at Easter. They believe that God would not bring wrath down upon them because the Scripture says that they will be taken up in the rapture before the Tribulation begins.
The Multitude is totally oblivious to the fact as spoken in the Bible that they are guilty of the four lies of refuge and falsehoods that they have hid themselves. These are the ‘Three Transgressions, and Four’ spoken about in the book of Amos. Judgement begins at the house of God is another verse they ignore. 1 Peter 4:17.
They also ignore this next verse.
John 16:2 They (Serpents and Scorpions) shall put you out of the synagogues: (Today’s apostate church) yea, the time cometh, that whosoever (Serpents) killeth you (Multitude) will think that he (Serpents) doeth God service. (The Serpents will be saving Democracy)
The Multitude does not realize that this verse applies to them. The Serpents who will be doing the killing will think that they are doing God’s will. The Multitude is the one being killed. This is the overflowing scourge that will sweep away their refuge of lies and the waters will overflow their hiding places. The worm (Serpents) will destroy the gourd (Lies and falsehoods removing their shade) and allow the sun (Scorpions) to beat down upon them (Multitude) and cause them to faint. (The Multitude will be in total desperation to the point that they will turn to the Lord in Truth and repent.)
When Jesus stated that there shall no sign given except the sign of Jonas, Jesus continued with the following verses.
Matthew 12:41,42 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Jesus is telling us in this passage that the men of Nineveh and the queen of the south will be rising up in judgement against this generation and will condemn it. Who is the recipient of God’s judgment and who gets condemned. It is the Multitude that God’s judgement comes down upon.
It is the Multitude that is condemned to a physical death. The Serpents and the Scorpions will be condemned at a later time, but the Lord uses them as instruments of His wrath to exact judgement against the Multitude.
Who are the men of Nineveh and the queen of the south in our present time. From all that we know and have studied, it would have to be the Serpents and the Scorpions.
Nineveh was the capital city of Assyria making the Ninevites Assyrians.
Isaiah 10:5, 6 O Assyrian, (Serpents) the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. I will send him (Serpents) against an hypocritical nation, (Multitude) and against the people of my wrath (Multitude) will I give him (Serpents) a charge, to take the spoil, (Scorpions given their power by the Serpents to take the spoil which is the possessions of the Multitude) and to take (Serpents are the group that takes the prey) the prey, (The Multitude is the prey) and to tread them (Multitude) down like the mire of the streets.
Matthew 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
Yes, the men of Nineveh will indeed rise in judgement against the Multitude and will condemn them. The men of Nineveh at the time of Jonah repented and the Lord spared them at that time. The Multitude does not repent and will incur the wrath of God using the Ninevites (Assyrians/Serpents) to exact the Lord’s judgement upon the Multitude.
Why does the Multitude not repent? They don’t know or think for a minute that they have anything to repent of. After all, they are going to be blessed by the Lord for they are blessing the physical Israel and the physical Jews as the chosen people. They are all about worshipping Jesus at Christmas and Easter. Don’t take that away from them!
And, the Lord has promised them that they are not appointed to wrath but will be whisked away before all of the terrible events of the Tribulation are scheduled to occur. Why should they repent? They are following all that God has told them to do. Right?
Matthew 12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Who is the queen of the south? She was the queen of Sheba, from Ethiopia. She sought wisdom from King Solomon. Who in the present times has wisdom? It would be the 144,000. Does the Multitude seek the wisdom of the 144,000. How many people have you told about coming judgement? How many people have you told about the paganism of Christmas and Easter? How many people have you told that the physical Jews and physical Israel are not the chosen people of God? How many people have you told that there is no rapture? Did they listen? No.
They pushed us away into the corners. They do not want to hear the Truth.
Isaiah 30:20 And though the Lord give you (Multitude) the bread of adversity, (Tribulation) and the water of affliction, (Distress) yet shall not thy (Multitude) teachers (144,000) be removed into a corner any more, (Multitude has previously pushed away anything the 144,000 would tell them or warn them that was contrary to their false doctrines) but thine (Multitude) eyes shall see thy teachers: (144,000) (The Multitude will no longer push away the 144,000 but will now listen to them)
Isaiah 30:21, 22 And thine (Multitude) ears shall hear a word behind thee, (Multitude remembering what the 144,000 had told them) saying, This is the way, (The Truth) walk ye (Multitude) in it, (The 144,000 instruct them in the way they need to walk) when ye turn to the right hand, (Right signifies Scorpions - Multitude now understand what the role of the Scorpions are) and when ye (Multitude) turn to the left. (Left signifies Serpents - Multitude now understand what the role of the Serpents are) Ye (Multitude) shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence. (Multitude will now reject the false gods and beliefs for the Overflowing Scourge is sweeping away the lies and the waters are overflowing the hiding place)
Another identification to the queen of the south is where she comes from, the south. The south is associated with the Scorpions. The queen of the south was the queen of Sheba. Sheba was in Ethiopia.
1 Kings 10:1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
Sheba 07614 Sh@ba', sheb-aw' of foreign origin; Sheba, the name of three early progenitors of tribes and of an Ethiopian district:--Sheba, Sabeans.
There is a direct connection with the queen of the south being linked or representing the Scorpions found within the definitions within the next verses and the phrases ‘the uttermost parts’ and ‘the utmost parts’ which takes us to the same word in the Greek.
Matthew 12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Luke 11:31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Uttermost parts and Utmost parts 4009 peras, per'-as from the same as 4008; an extremity:--end, ut-(ter-)most participle
4008 peran, per'-an apparently accusative case of an obsolete derivative of peiro (to "pierce"); through (as adverb or preposition), i.e. across:--beyond, farther (other) side, over.
Since we know that the queen of the south needs to somehow identify with the Scorpions, we now go to the fifth trumpet and take a look at some of the definitions of the words found in those passages.
Revelation 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Locusts 200 akris, ak-rece' apparently from the same as 206; a locust (as pointed, or as lighting on the top of vegetation):--locust.
206 akron, ak'-ron neuter of an adjective probably akin to the base of 188; the extremity:--one end... other, tip, top, uttermost participle
Look at the under-definition of Locust which is number 206 in Strong’s Concordance. Now compare that to the direct definition of ‘the uttermost parts’ and ‘the utmost parts’.
That definition of 4009 is almost identical to 206.
Uttermost parts and Utmost parts 4009 peras, per'-as from the same as 4008; an extremity:--end, ut-(ter-)most participle
206 akron, ak'-ron neuter of an adjective probably akin to the base of 188; the extremity:--one end... other, tip, top, uttermost participle
Let’s look at another word found in Revelation 9:3.
Revelation 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Scorpions 4651 skorpios, skor-pee'-os probably from an obsolete skerpo (perhaps strengthened from the base of 4649 and meaning to pierce); a "scorpion" (from its sting):--scorpion.
This definition of Scorpion connects directly with the under-definition of ‘the uttermost parts’ and ‘the utmost parts’.
4008 peran, per'-an apparently accusative case of an obsolete derivative of peiro (to "pierce"); through (as adverb or preposition), i.e. across:--beyond, farther (other) side, over.
The queen of the South is the Scorpions that rise up in judgement against the Multitude for they have not sought the wisdom of the 144,000 which is also the wisdom of God. The Multitude has pushed away their teachers, the 144,000 into a corner because they could not or would not give up their belief in false gods.
The Serpents as the Assyrians, and the Scorpions as the queen of the south will rise up in judgement against this generation, the Multitude for they have rejected knowledge. (Wisdom of God and of the 144,000 who have the Truth of God)
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
The Lord tells us that there will be a sign of Jonas given to this evil (Serpents and Scorpions) and adulterous (Multitude) generation. What is that sign? It would surely be something that we can see as a sign. The sign of Jonas is a physical sign. It has already occurred. The world, but more specifically, today’s apostate church saw the sign but did not recognize it as the sign the Lord promised He would send.
The Sign of Jonas
On June 11th, 2021 there was a man that was swallowed by a whale in Cape Cod. The whale then spit him out about 30 to 40 seconds later. This does not happen every day. Was this a precursor for the Sign of Jonas? The Lord uses the things in the physical to give us signs. Was this a sign of something else coming? Makes one wonder.
On April 5th, 2024 a 4.8 earthquake rattled New York. It was the strongest earthquake in our lifetime. The last large earthquake felt in this area was back in 1884. This was a very rare occurrence. What was so significant about this earthquake? There are three items to note concerning this earthquake and how it connects to ‘The Sign of Jonas’.
Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Jesus stated that there shall be earthquakes in divers places. I have stated that the earthquakes in this verse can mean literally, actual physical earthquakes, but it can also mean earthquakes in the political environment. We are seeing those earthquakes rattling and rocking everyday with the upset occurring in the political landscape we are currently in. Let’s take a closer look at the definition of earthquakes.
Earthquake 4578 seismos, sice-mos' from 4579; a commotion, i.e. (of the air) a gale, (of the ground) an earthquake:--earthquake, tempest.
Let’s compare the word ‘tempest’ found within this definition and see what we find in the book of Jonah. This next verse is when Jonah was running away from the presence of the Lord to Tarshish. The ship he was on was thrown into a great storm.
Jonah 1:4 But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
Tempest 05591 ca`ar, sah'-ar …from 5590; a hurricane:--storm(-y), tempest, whirlwind.
Tempest now take us to the whirlwind.
This is just one of many verses speaking about the ‘whirlwind’.
Jeremiah 25:32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth (Serpents and Scorpions) from nation (Nation of Serpents and Scorpions) to nation, (Nation of Multitude) and a great whirlwind (Tribulation) shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. (The ensuring battle that you see building within the political environment right now – Serpents – Progressive Left Democrats, Scorpions – The spying networks being formed, the Multitude and Others standing up against them)
The second item to note about the earthquake in New York was the magnitude of the earthquake. It was a 4.8 magnitude earthquake. It struck on April 5th of 2024 or 4/5/24. Could this 4.8 earthquake that occurred on 4/5 been a number to notice, pointing us to 4/8/24? What occurred on 4/8/24? A Solar eclipse entered the US in Texas on 4/8/24 continuing through the US and exiting in New York.
Not only that, but look at the dates. There are three days and three nights between the earthquake on 4/5/24 and the solar eclipse on 4/8/24. Hmmm. There is a connection in that sequence to the book of Jonah who was for three days and three nights in the belly of the whale. Adding to that the Lord was in the belly of the earth for three days and three nights. 3 days = 3 days = 3 days. Another Hmm.
Was there an eclipse at the time of Jonah and his preaching to the Ninevites?
An excerpt from www.thegatheringplacehome.com/jonah-and-the-eclipse-t5242.html: “ A total or near total eclipse occurred in Nineveh on June 15, 763 BC, during the reign of Ashur-Dan III. Some scholars believe that this may have shortly preceded Jonah's visit.”
It would make sense that an eclipse happened either preceded or during the preaching of Jonah. Otherwise, what would make a king of a very powerful nation listen to some old coot shouting that Nineveh would be destroyed unless they repented? Assyrians would see an eclipse as a precursor to judgement coming.
Whether this happened or not at the time of Jonah, it is something to ponder. Nevertheless, we come back to the present and look at other items surrounding the total solar eclipse of 4/8/24. For these other items will totally clarify and show that this is ‘The Sign of Jonas’ that the Lord has given us for our time.
The solar eclipse of 4/8/24 entered the US at Eagle Pass, Texas. On February 3rd of 2024 and lasting until February 5th of 2024 there was a gathering of truckers that ascended upon Eagle Pass, Texas. This is a place where a stand was taken and all parties were present, the Serpent, Scorpions, and Multitude. There are written articles on the website www.thethreshingflooracademy.com pertaining to the events surrounding this gathering.
It is interesting that the solar eclipse first touched the US at Eagle Pass Texas. But it is the rest of the path of the solar eclipse that connects this particular solar eclipse to ‘The Sign of Jonas’.
The solar eclipse passed over seven cities or townships that are named Nineveh, and these seven cities or townships named Nineveh are all located in the US. All were located in the path of totality or partial totality. If you do a search on cities or townships named ‘Nineveh’, you will only find a total of eight in the entire world. Seven of them are located in the US in the path of totality or partial totality and the eighth is located in the Solomon Islands. We will cover the eighth later in this chapter.
The seven cities or townships in the US are as follows: Nineveh - Texas, Nineveh – Missouri, Nineveh - Virginia, Nineveh – Pennsylvania, Nineveh – Indiana, Nineveh – Ohio, Nineveh – New York. Seven cities or townships named Nineveh being given a warning of impending judgement unless they repent. What connects here is the number of the cities or townships, seven and of course the name of the cities or townships.
When we apply the Spiritual Overlay and connect it to the Bible and End Times Prophecy, what is associated with seven? That would be the seven churches or the seven kingdoms or the seven headed beast or all of the above. Warning has been given with the Sign of Jonas to the apostate church, a sign has been given to this evil (Serpents and Scorpions) and adulterous (Multitude) generation.
There are also the seven kingdoms associated with the seven headed beast of Daniel. These seven kingdoms are Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, and the Kingdom of God. The Multitude, Serpents, and Scorpions, are all mingled together within these kingdoms.
The seven cities or townships of Nineveh are representing the seven churches and the seven kingdoms which are also the seven heads of the beast of Daniel.
But there is more. The solar eclipse last touched land the US in a remote area in Maine. It last touched land in a place called Moon Be ach and Eclipse Island. Moon beach translated using the Metaphorical Language is Moon (Multitude) Beach. (Israel shall be as the sand of the sea) Eclipse Island is a physical signature. The last place the solar eclipse touched in the US was Eclipse Island. There is a connection to Island in the Bible which we will again cover in a bit.
What are the odds that there would be seven cities all named Nineveh all located in the US and all in the path of totality? The odds are astronomical or I should rather say; the odds are not odds at all; this is the signature of God.
Let’s now take a look at the eighth city named Nineveh, located in the Solomon Islands. Is there a connection to ‘The Sign of Jonas’?
Excerpt from: Our Journey To Solomon Islands and Tuvalu February 13, 2020 By Darlene at International Cuisine
“It was 1568 when the Spanish Navigator, Alvaro de Mendana, discovered the islands. He named the archipelago, “Islas Salomon,” believing this was the area of the South Pacific where King Solomon got the gold that he used to build the Temple of Jerusalem. The name was changed upon their independence to “Solomon Islands,” removing “The” from the official name.”
What is the connection of this eighth city of Nineveh? It is located in the Solomon Islands. Solomon Islands was named after King Solomon. The combination of ‘Nineveh’ and King Solomon connects to the warning that Jesus put forth when He stated that there should be no sign given this evil and adulterous generation except ‘The Sign of Jonas.’
Jesus followed that declaration with the ‘men of Nineveh’ and the ‘Queen of the South’ that sought the wisdom of King Solomon would rise up in judgement against this generation. Nineveh and King Solomon connects in the Solomon Islands. The eighth is the city of Nineveh.
Revelation 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
On another layer of the verse above, the eighth ‘Nineveh’ in the Solomon Islands, is of the seven Nineveh’s located within the path of totality of the eclipse of April 8th, 2024. Another very interesting note is there have been three solar eclipses over the U.S. in the last seven years. One occurred on August 21st, 2017. The second occurred on October 14th, 2023. The third occurred on April 8th, 2024.
The solar eclipse of April 8th, 2024 entered the US at Eagle (Serpents) Pass, Texas.
Luke 17:34-37 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, (Multitude) and the other shall be left. (144,000) Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, (Multitude) and the other left. (144,000) Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, (Multitude) and the other left. (144,000) And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, (The dead bodies of the Multitude) thither will the eagles (Serpents) be gathered together.
Matthew 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, (The dead bodies of the Multitude) there will the eagles (Serpents) be gathered together.
The solar eclipse of April 8th, 2024 passed over the seven cities of Nineveh (Seven churches – Seven Kingdoms - Seven Heads) and exited the U.S at Eclipse Island passing over Moon (Multitude) Beach. (Israel shall be as the sand of the sea)
Then we add the eighth Nineveh (Which is of the seven) located in the Solomon Islands.
Let’s take a look at some scriptures pertaining to island and islands.
Isaiah 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, (The Tribulation) that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, (Multitude) which shall be left, (The Multitude once the Serpents and the Scorpions (Tares) have been bound together.) from Assyria, (One of the seven kingdoms) and from Egypt, (One of the seven kingdoms) and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, (Other names for the seven kingdoms) and from the islands of the sea. (From Babylon, the seven kingdoms, Israel, etc.)
Isaiah 13:22 And the wild beasts (Scorpions) of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, (Jerusalem, Judah, Israel) and dragons (Serpents) in their pleasant palaces: (Jerusalem, Judah, Israel) and her (Multitude) time is near to come, and her (Multitude) days shall not be prolonged. (The days of the Multitude are shortened by their premature death at the hands of the Serpents.)
Isaiah 59:18 According to their deeds, (Serpents and Scorpions) accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, (Multitude) recompence to his enemies; (Serpents) to the islands (Scorpions) he will repay recompence.
Jeremiah 50:39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert (Scorpions) with the wild beasts (Scorpions) of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls (Scorpions) shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
Notice that the verses above identify the islands as being associated with the Scorpions. Solomon Islands are associated with King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba who rises up in judgement against this generation.
The Queen of Sheba is an identifier of the Scorpions, just as the men of Nineveh who rise up in judgement are an identifier of the Serpents.
We also have in the above verses the connection with the Scorpions being associated not only with islands but are also the owls. Owls is a metaphorical identification of the Scorpions. Along with the owls, we see the Serpents once again couple together with the Scorpions. The Serpents are referred to as dragons and they dwell in their pleasant palaces.
Below are some additional verses that have those words and phrases along with other metaphorical identifications.
Isaiah 34:13 And thorns (Serpents) shall come up in her palaces, (Pleasant palaces) nettles and brambles (Scorpions) in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, (Serpents) and a court for owls. (Scorpions)
Isaiah 34:15 There shall the great owl (Scorpions) make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: (Scorpions turn in the Multitude) there shall the vultures (Serpents) also be gathered, every one with her mate. (Matthew 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, (The dead bodies of the Multitude) there will the eagles be gathered together.)
Micah 1:8 Therefore I will wail and howl, (Multitude at the hands of the Serpents) I will go stripped and naked: (Multitude at the hands of the Scorpions) I will make a wailing like the dragons, (Scorpions) and mourning as the owls. (Scorpions)
As you can see, the Serpents and the Scorpions are usually always coupled together in some form. The Solomon Islands and Eclipse Island have significance. Another interesting item of note; the solar eclipse first touched the U.S. at Eagle Pass, Texas. The eagles are the Serpents. The solar eclipse exited the U.S. at Eclipse Island, Maine. The word island or islands refers to the Scorpions. You have the Serpents on one end and the Scorpions on the other end with the Multitude in the middle within the seven cities (Seven Churches) of Nineveh.
Eagle Pass, Texas (Serpents) and Eclipse Island, Maine (Scorpions) are also in the exact order that Jesus gave referring to ‘Sign of Jonas’. The men of Nineveh (Serpents) were first and the queen of the South (Scorpions) was second in His layout.
Do you think it strange that the Metaphorical Language and the Spiritual Overlay when applied to the solar eclipse is just a coincidence? There is more to add to this premise.
The Alpha and Omega
When you mark the path of totality of these three eclipses over the U.S. there are two letters of the Greek alphabet that are clearly visible; the Aleph and Tav. Translated from the Greek, they are Alpha and Omega.
These three eclipses are actually the signature of God, the Alpha and the Omega. This information was obtained from a video called ‘Major Events Surrounding the April 8th Solar Eclipse’ produced by Greg Reese at ReeseReport.com published on Infowars.com on April 8th, 2024.
There are too many clues in this room.
At the same time this latest solar eclipse occurred, there was another occurrence happening in the heavens. It was the passing of a comet named ‘The Devils Comet’. The reason it is named ‘The Devils Comet’ is due to the two tails that extend from the comet.
Again, another signature to the two groups, the Serpents and the Scorpions that the devil empowers. The same the two groups the Lord uses to exact punishment upon the Multitude.
When you add all of these items together, with what the Lord has shown us over the years and the understanding that He has imparted unto us, there is no doubt that this truly was ‘The Sign of Jonas’ that He promised He would give us. Another prophecy fulfilled. But why did not anybody else see it for what it was? Did the entire world miss it?
The news was scoured very closely during this time to see if anybody out there would connect the solar eclipse of April 8th, 2024 to ‘The Sign of Jonas’. The Greg Reese video did not make the connection to ‘The Sign of Jonas’.
There was only one person that connected the solar eclipse on April 8th, 2024 to the ‘Sign of Jonas’. A person named Troy Brewer.
What was missing from both of these video clips by Greg Reese and Troy Brewer, was the connecting it to today’s apostate church. Was this maybe also an obscure sign to the ‘Two Witnesses’?
Greg Reese is centered in the Patriot side of things which in previous studies and revelations revealed a group called ‘The Others’. This group of people will not be found in the churches, but are found within the seven churches of Revelations and other places in the Bible. They stand for freedom and are patriots. They are the ‘other sheep’ that Jesus refers to.
Troy Brewer is a pastor and runs a ministry out of Burleson, Texas. He is a pastor of Troy Brewer Ministries in Burleson, Texas.
Why did neither of them make the connection? Due to not being able to see what the Lord is trying to tell everybody. Greg Reese is looking at the Masonic implications and looking in that direction. Troy Brewer is seeing the connection to ‘The Sign of Jonas’ but does not realize that this warning that Jesus gave was not to the world, but to today’s apostate church.
Today’s apostate church does not think they are in the direct firing line of God’s wrath. The judgement that begins at the house of God (1 Peter 4:17) doesn’t enter their minds. ‘The Sign of Jonas’ is for an evil and adulterous generation of which they are in neither of those categories. Or so they think.
The Lord never brings judgement without first warning of His impending judgement. Look at Nineveh. The Lord sent Jonah, Jonah warned them, they repented, and the Lord spared them. Fast forward to today.
Today’s apostate church is guilty of four transgressions. (Amos chapters 1-8) But they are hidden in their booth, hiding in the dens, and being shaded with leaves of the gourd and rocks from the wrath of God and from the Lamb. The Lord still gives them a warning, ‘The Sign of Jonas’. But they missed it and repented not for they don’t think they have to repent.
Revelation 2:21 And I gave her (Today’s apostate Church) space to repent of her fornication; (Adulterous generation Matthew 16:24 – The four transgressions – Worshipping other gods) and she (Today’s apostate Church) repented not.
The Lord has given the church the warning with ‘The Sign of Jonas’. He has given the church space to repent, to renounce the worshipping of other gods. How do we know that the worshipping of other gods is what they need to repent of? The next verse tells us very clearly that this is what they need to repent of.
Revelation 9:20 And the rest of the men (This would be referring to the Serpents and the Scorpions after the Multitude has been killed at their hands) which were not killed by these plagues (The plagues is a reference to the Serpents and the Scorpions being the plagues that came down upon the Multitude) idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: (Remember, the Serpents and the Scorpions are still a part of today’s apostate church, they are the tares, they are the two thirds that are cut off and die in Zechariah 13:8)
It is the worshipping of other gods that are the four transgressions spoken about in Amos chapters 1-8 that the church needs to repent of. But they repented not. The Multitude will repent but it will not be until they are in a prison cell, facing execution with nowhere to turn.
So, the Lord sends ‘The Sign of Jonas’ to the church and they don’t see it. The Lord fulfilled His promise that He would warn them. They did not heed the warning for they never even saw it for what it was. Now what? What happens next?
The Lord gave Nineveh forty days to repent of their evil workings. They repented and He spared them. ‘The Sign of Jonas’ that the Lord sent will also include forty days to repent. This is the space that the Lord has given the church to repent. But they repented not because they think they have nothing to repent for.
They believe that they are in the will of the Lord. Beginning with October 7th, 2023 and the invasion of Hamas in Israel. The four transgressions that the church is guilty of began on that day.
That invasion brought out the Christian church to stand for Israel. Not just as a nation that was defending their sovereignty, but as the chosen people and chosen nation. This event flowed into the political playing field where the Serpents have their power. Transgression number one was committed and set in stone; verdict, guilty.
Christmas followed which was transgression number two. Again, Christmas flowed into the political playing field by governmental agencies worked to ban Christmas including the colors of red and green, etc. Now we know all of those are associated with paganism but this was a governmental attack on the beliefs of the apostate Christians. Politics entered into the religious arena.
Transgression number two was committed and set in stone; verdict, guilty.
Easter followed which was transgression number three. Easter also flowed into the political playing field by bringing the Easter bunny to the White House. The White House also cancelled the Easter egg roll with the children. Again, these practices are rooted in paganism, however, the political was mixing with the religious.
Transgression number three was committed and set in stone; verdict, guilty.
The false rapture doctrine followed which was transgression number four. The False Rapture doctrine also flowed into the political playing field as you will see in the upcoming writing.
Transgression number four was committed and set in stone; verdict, guilty.
Wait a minute, how did the false rapture doctrine follow Easter? Where was it? Again, a subtle event happened that many if not all missed.
Within those forty days following the solar eclipse of April 8th, 2024, there was an event that occurred which clinched the final guilty verdict of the fourth transgression. The forty days expired on May 18th, 2024. The church would have needed to repent within that time frame to be spared. We know that they church is not spared from the wrath of God for scripture tells us so. We also know that the church was not going to repent for the scripture also tells us so, they repented not.
The event that occurred happened on May 16th, 2024. This was day thirty eight of the forty-day window they had to repent. What happened on that day?
May 16th, 2024 The late Rev. Billy Graham is immortalized in a statue unveiled at the US Capitol
What is so relevant about this occurrence and how does it connect the false rapture doctrine?
Billy Graham was a false prophet who believed and taught all of the four transgressions that the apostate church is guilty of. He in actuality epitomizes false doctrine. In the ceremony honoring (Immortalizing – the word they used in the headline) Billy Graham there was music that was played.
Go to the Old Testament and Nebuchadnezzar who commanded music to be played and that the golden image was to be worshipped. There is similarity there or should I say, history repeats itself.
Music was played at the unveiling of the statue. When the music stopped, there was cheering and applauding. The statue was adored by all of the participants. Here is a quote by one of the attendees.
“Billy Graham finally takes his rightful place on these hallowed grounds of American democracy,” Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana said at the dedication ceremony. As with other speakers, Johnson recalled the personal importance that Graham’s ministry of preaching the Christian gospel had on them and their families: “Billy Graham is such a towering figure in my life, and he is in all of our lives.”
Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
The statue of Billy Graham is a graven image which was adored by the participants at this ceremony. Looking at the definition of worship in the New Testament you will find the following:
Worship 4352 proskuneo, pros-koo-neh'-o …from 4314 and a probable derivative of 2965 (meaning to kiss, like a dog licking his master's hand); to fawn or crouch to, i.e. (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore):--worship.
Would that describe what happened at that ceremony? This religious figure placed in the ‘hallowed grounds’ of the U.S. Capitol and the ceremony that honored Billy Graham is the embodiment of worshipping of a graven image.
This married the religious with the political at that ceremony. This is a replay of the foundation of the religious and political marriage that occurred with the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes with Pontius Pilate of Rome at the sentencing and crucifixion of Jesus Christ in ‘The Judas Cycle’.
There is something else very profound about this statue of Billy Graham. Billy Graham has a Bible open in one hand with his other hand pointing to the Bible. This would seem very innocent; however there is a much deeper meaning.
Billy Graham is/was a false prophet feeding the (Gourd – The Poison in the Pot) to his followers. His hand pointing to the Bible is the equivalent of being in the booth that Jonah built, or the dens in the book of Revelation they are hiding in, or the refuge of lies of Isaiah. The Bible Billy Graham (False Prophet) is pointing to, represents the rocks, the shade of the gourd of Jonah, the falsehoods they have covered themselves with. (The Truth of the Bible that is twisted to be shaped into their false theologies and doctrines)
Let’s take a look at the definition of the word ‘image’ found in Daniel 3:2.
Daniel 3:2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Image 06755 tseh'-lem (Aramaic)…corresponding to 6754; an idolatrous figure:--form, image.
06754 tselem, tseh'-lem from an unused root meaning to shade; a phantom, i.e. (figuratively) illusion, resemblance; hence, a representative figure, especially an idol:--image, vain shew.
Do you see one of the definitions is ‘to shade’? The image is an idolatrous figure which also is ‘to shade’. This would be the gourd (Idols, false gods, poison in the pot) that shades Jonah, the rocks that shade those in the dens, the refuge that shades their lies, and the hiding under the falsehoods is their shade.
And if you think about it, when one worships false gods, they cover the Truth which is light. The gods they worship makes them go dark and obscure to where they can no longer see or comprehend the Truth. The Serpents, Scorpions, and Multitude are blind and deaf because they are in darkness, shaded from the light of the Truth.
This event that was done on day thirty eight clearly shows how and why today’s apostate church will not repent. They believe they have nothing to repent of. They are protecting the physical Jews, honoring Jesus at Christmas and Easter, and are destined to be raptured away at any moment.
They believe they are in God’s favor. How wrong they are. This event was a slap in the Lord’s face and was the final verdict: Guilty.
The overflowing scourge is coming very soon and is at the door. The events that are occurring every day let us know that we are in perilous and troublesome times.
2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Time of Silence
There is a very small group of three, including myself that saw the solar eclipse of April 8th, 2024 was going to be ‘The Sign of Jonas’. All three of us were in agreement.
2 Corinthians 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
Preceding, during, and shortly thereafter the solar eclipse I have remained silent. The Lord wanted this to be played out as it has. I was not to shout out or write about the upcoming event. The Lord gave his warning in His Word. If they will listen, they will listen, if they will not listen, they will not. They did not. They did not study to show themselves approved. (2 Timothy 2:15)
Now is the time to bring this out. This shows the Glory of God. Scripture has been and is being fulfilled right before our eyes. All Glory to the Lord, the Alpha and Omega.
Many events and news is happening on a daily basis right now. Things have definitely ramped up since May 18th. Everybody is being set in their places. Chess pieces are being moved everyday heading towards what we know is coming.
The biggest chess piece that was just moved into place was the recent trial and conviction of former President Trump. This is another signpost along this journey we are travelling. This fits like a glove within ‘The Judas Cycle’; an innocent man (Jesus and Trump) being found guilty.
Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts. As we have seen before, numbers in the Bible are not necessarily to be read as what the church has interpreted. Such as 666 being the Mark of the Beast. It is actually 660 and 6. They are two separate numbers, not one number.
Take a look at Trump and the similarities that line up with things in the Bible concerning the end times. Trump has been indicted four times. There are four transgressions the apostate church is guilty of.
Take a look at the amount of felony convictions, 34. Not 27 or 14, but 34. Do we look at that number as 34; or could we look at that number as 3, 4? Two separate numbers.
Namely, For Three Transgressions, and Four; Guilty on all counts. Interesting correlation. Think about that.
The Lord has fulfilled another prophecy spoken by Jesus over two thousand years ago. We have seen that prophecy come to pass. ‘The Sign of Jonas’ has occurred. This is the sign that was given to this evil (Serpents and Scorpions) and adulterous (Multitude) generation.
The Lord gave them ‘The Sign of Jonas’ and then gave them the space to repent. But they repented not and instead brought into their midst, a graven image with the embodiment of all of their false gods they follow.
Is it any wonder why the Lord is full of wrath and fury? His creation has turned their backs on the creator and trodden Him underfoot.
Hebrews 10:29,30 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Just as Jesus stated; the men of Nineveh (Serpents) and the queen of the south (Scorpions) shall rise up in judgement against this generation. The Ninevites repented and this generation will not repent for they know not that they need to repent. The queen of the south sought wisdom and this generation has not sought wisdom for they have rejected knowledge. The Lord shall judge his people using the Serpents and the Scorpions to do so.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Amen
