Oppression is being felt in the world like never before. Freedom of speech and decision-making, which are God-given gifts, are increasingly being taken away. Every citizen of the world is fast becoming enslaved to the climate change agenda, to be formalized in the great reset and enforced by CBDCs, despite claims that all are for the common good. Meanwhile, the three comets gathered at the constellation of Lepus signal a dramatic increase of trouble in the world. In the face of such circumstances, the longing question of the burdened soul is, “How long?” How long must we endure such persecution, and witness the injustice that prevails? The sign of the Son of man in the heavens brings good tidings of the time of deliverance and shows the manifestation of the kingdom of Christ for all to see.
In the following pages, you will learn how the Father answers the burning question that Christ’s disciples had about the time when He would establish His kingdom, and you will also recognize the character of Christ’s kingdom as expressed in love and time.
It is our earnest prayer that your soul will be filled with joy and that you will be ready to join the chorus to proclaim the coming of Christ and His everlasting kingdom, giving hope to many as the evil powers attempt to usurp the position that belongs to Christ alone.
God is the Revealer of secrets. The Bible is filled with examples of God showing to His prophets and to His people what is to come, as they have humbly sought understanding of the time. The experience of every child of God is centered on the desire to know when their reunification with the Lord will take place, when they will live in His presence as it was intended from the beginning when Adam was created.
God gave Daniel keys to the revelation and understanding of when Jesus would establish His kingdom after he pleaded with the Lord to make known to him the dream of king Nebuchadnezzar, who had questions about the future as well.
But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. (Daniel 2:28)
Nebuchadnezzar was allowed to see the flow of time in a statue of a human figure made with different metals decreasing in value from top to bottom. This timepiece delineates the rise and fall of world empires up until the time when Jesus Christ breaks down the earthly image and establishes His own eternal kingdom. When Daniel explained the dream and the interpretation to king Nebuchadnezzar, he declared the Authority behind the revelation and the truthfulness of what he was shown. Many have studied this prophecy and have expounded on its application to the different kingdoms that have fulfilled the prophecy so precisely.[1]
...the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. (Daniel 2:45)
What confidence was exhibited by this faithful man of God, who was allowed to witness the deep and secret things of God!? We may have the same confidence today as we behold the grandeur of the sign of the Son of man being drawn on the heavenly canvas, signed by the Alpha and Omega. In fact, as we continue, you will understand that Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel were allowed to behold the pinnacle of the sign of the Son of man, the most beautiful and majestic depiction of Christ and His kingdom.
In the past,[2] we have examined the prophecy of Daniel 2 to study precisely where we are in the timeline of the prophecy, and how that harmonizes with other time prophecies in Revelation. Since the image stretches to the present, and the Lord directs us to “look up”, we have also examined possible representations of Nebuchadnezzar’s statue on the heavenly canvas for signs of the timing of its fall. Now, in the context of the appearing of the sign of the Son of man, we can clearly recognize the location of the original kingdom timepiece that was shown to Daniel in answer to his prayer to know king Nebuchadnezzar’s dream.
Nebuchadnezzar beheld the original timepiece of God’s kingdom in the heavens, representing the times of the rise and fall of different earthly world empires until the end, when Christ would become the ultimate King of this earth and establish His everlasting kingdom.
Moses had a similar experience when he was shown the true heavenly sanctuary that he was to use as a pattern to build the earthly representation.
And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount. (Exodus 25:40)
These revelations are a reminder of the reality that for God’s people, this sin-filled earth is not the ultimate destination.
For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. (Hebrews 13:14)
This stands in contrast with what the leaders of the world promote, especially the newly crowned King Charles III with his climate agenda for the planet,[3] focusing on exalting (or worshipping) creation, rather than the Creator. With the climate agenda, he leads people to believe in a long future on earth (or even Mars) without the reign of Christ.
However, his purposes and intentions are in the crosshairs of God. On May 6, 2023, when King Charles III was crowned, the heavenly sign in Lepus showed how comet S3 representing the Holy Spirit[4] gave a counterattack to the plans of Satan by striking at the feet of the hare to signify that the kingdom of global Babylon—the image Nebuchadnezzar saw, representing the kingdoms seeking world-wide reign—was given its death sentence. By comparison, the whole realm of such a kingdom is but a footstool for our King of kings:
Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? (Isaiah 66:1)
Lepus is a constellation that represents the footstool of the Lord—the whole earth that kings like Charles III aspire to reign.[5] It represents the kingdom of the enemies of God, who are to be brought under Him as He establishes His everlasting kingdom.
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Psalm 110:1)
Now consider that if Lepus represents the feet of the statue of the enemy kingdom in time, as shown to Nebuchadnezzar, it behooves us to understand where the rest of the timepiece is in the heavens. Exploring this idea will take us onto holy ground in a most amazing revelation that is eternally memorialized in the heavens as a reminder of the character of God. Like Moses or Joshua, we stand in the presence of the Lord as we behold the timepiece of God’s kingdom.
When we look up to the heavenly canvas at Lepus, where the three comets meet, we see above it the constellation of Orion. It is the only constellation in the vicinity that is clearly a man, with head, chest and arms, thighs, legs, feet and toes, and could thus qualify for the pattern shown to Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar.
When a clock of God was discovered in Orion, it was shared with the world in 2010. In the Orion Presentation a detailed explanation is given of how Orion represents Jesus’ sacrifice and His ministry as our great High Priest[6] in the heavenly sanctuary during the long time of grace that He gave for the world.[7]
Let us examine how Orion depicts all the parts of the statue that were shown to Nebuchadnezzar in his dream.
At the head of Orion, we find the star Meissa which means “The Shining One”. The glory of the Father shone through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross because it displayed the Father’s own self-sacrificial love in giving His only begotten Son.[8] Upon Jesus’ head, they pressed the crown of thorns, and above His head, the inscription was written, “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews”. Now in the sign of the Son of man we see the path of comet K2 (green line in the image above) leading to the same place on June 4, 2024, signaling the time when Jesus will crown the first fruits of His sacrifice in His kingdom.[9]
At the chest level, we find the stars Betelgeuse and Bellatrix directing one’s attention to the pierced hands of Jesus when He was nailed to the cross, wounded for our transgressions. The name of the red supergiant, Betelgeuse even means “the hand of Orion”—it is the right hand, and is associated with the manifestation of God’s wrath; the executing agent of judgment.[10] Bellatrix means a “female warrior” and represents the church of God triumphing over the enemy in the strength of the Lord.
At Orion’s waist, we find the belt stars which represent the throne of God, one star for each of the three members of the Godhead. Alnitak represents Jesus, Alnilam in the center represents the Father, Mintaka represents the Holy Spirit. Jesus is at the right hand of the Father and His star is the center of the Orion clock, just as the Lamb is the center of the worship scene in Revelation 4-5. In the article Sealed in His Name, we restated how the star Alnitak bears the new name of Jesus, since it represents Him, and from the signature, concluded that it corresponds to the Alpha initial of the royal name of Jesus that is being drawn in the sign of the Son of man. These three stars form one throne, just as the three divine Persons are one in purpose. Together they agreed on the plan of salvation for the redemption of humanity, to reveal the Son of man as the Way of reconciliation to the Father. When Jesus became a man, He demonstrated the character of the Father to the world and glorified Him.[11] Therefore, the Alpha and Omega signature is the same for Alnilam, the star of the Father. While the Alpha points to the divine Person, the Omega corresponds to Their dominion, as represented by Orion, the constellation that presents Their sacrificial character of love and time. The kingdom of Orion is revealed as one of self-sacrifice, from which flow the divine graces of love and time, wherein we thrive.
At the level of the thighs, we find the Orion nebula which represents the water and blood that flowed from the Lord’s body when He was pierced for our sins. His sacrifice made it possible for everyone to receive a new life in Christ, just like the Orion Nebula is a star nursery where new stars are born.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
The Orion Nebula resembles a large body of water and beautifully matches the biblical description as the “sea of glass mingled with fire” from the embedded stars. How fitting that this place, like a pool of the life-giving water and blood from our Savior’s sacrifice, would be the designated place where all the overcoming redeemed ones will gather!
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. (Revelation 15:2)
Below the Orion Nebula are the stars Saiph and Rigel. Together, these stars point to the wounds that were inflicted on Jesus’ feet at His crucifixion. Saiph is known as the “right knee of the giant” and Rigel, the brightest star of Orion, refers to his left foot, which explains why he is often illustrated in the artwork in a half-kneeling position. Jesus came to serve and not to be served, so His depiction in the heavens manifests that character. It is a posture of a servant, ready to wash one’s feet, like when Jesus washed the feet of His disciples. He drew a contrast between the kings of this earth and His eternal kingdom, telling His disciples that they should not be like the former:
But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at meat? But I am among you as he that serveth. (Luke 22:26-27)
This is no sign of weakness. Jesus knew that His kingdom was secure, but He clearly appointed it to those who were willing to continue in His humility:
Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; (Luke 22:28-29)
The appointed kingdom is represented by Orion, and when the humble rise from their knees, they have divine power. In this sense, we can understand that when Jesus stands up, His outstretched feet, if depicted in Orion, would be on the footstool of Lepus. Thus, the demise of the kingdoms of the world as represented by King Charles III, is shown in the time flow of the image with comet S3 indicating his coronation.[12] Now we have found the complementary timepiece for the “great” image that Nebuchadnezzar dreamt about. And indeed, this image in Orion is great, as the Bible declares.
Thus, Nebuchadnezzar saw the clock of God in Orion indicating a duration for each earthly kingdom and containing a visual representation of the flow of time until the coming of Christ to establish His everlasting kingdom—the stone that strikes the earthly image at the time indicated by the feet. That stone then becomes a great mountain, symbolic of a constellation (Orion).
The kingdoms of the world will be destroyed, but the kingdom of God will stand forever, undivided and undiminishing in value. The image in Orion points us to Jesus, who was the perfect Lamb chosen from the beginning of time, and commemorates His sacrifice, which gave Him the right to become King.
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. (Revelation 5:12)
Orion lies on the celestial equator for everyone to behold without exception, and is easily identified, being the brightest constellation in the sky.
Do you recognize why Orion is at the pinnacle of the sign of the Son of man, above the contested area signified by the three comets in Lepus? In The Unclean Hare and the Pineapple, we explained how the enemy seeks to cut off that part of the sign in defiance against this manifestation, and in Anointing the Man of Sin, we revealed how Satan seeks to usurp Alnitak’s dominion. Orion is one heavenly clock witness with the figure of Christ as the Son of man who was wounded for our transgressions. The constellation of Eridanus which flows from Orion represents the blood He shed which flows to the Horologium constellation, which is the pendulum clock that announces the coming of the Bridegroom as King of kings and Lord of lords to deliver His children and destroy the wicked.
The entire sign of the Son of man depicts the life and sacrifice of our Savior with these three timepiece constellations witnessing to what gave Jesus the right to become King of the earth as well as the universe. His perfect life of submission and self-sacrificing love, depicted in these elements of time, stands in contrast to the greed and selfishness that characterizes the leaders of the world and permeates all that they do.
Satan is also very acquainted with Bible prophecy and with the revelation of time. However, he challenges God by trying to establish his own kingdom on his own terms. For his kingdom, the appearance of the sign of the Son of man in heaven is no good news, inasmuch as it shows the coming of Christ. It is to Satan’s advantage that people do not look up to understand this heavenly sign that pronounces the demise of his earthly kingdom.[13] He knows he only has a short time, and he wants to keep humanity in slavery to sin by leading them to embrace his image, mark or number through increasingly coercive measures which will become apparent as time goes by. His goal is to completely obliterate the last vestiges of loyalty to God from humanity. Bible prophecy in connection with heavenly signs has discovered his intentions[14] to use the position of the newly crowned king who was anointed for his service. Satan is exerting the greatest effort to bring every remaining pocket of resistance in the earth under his dominion.
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. (Revelation 12:12)
Satan looks at the heavenly clocks with hatred and envy as he sees how they lift up Orion instead of his own kingdom. Like he inspired Nebuchadnezzar to build a statue completely of gold, Satan wants to reign forever. But it was Jesus’ sacrifice that gave Him that exalted position, while Satan’s kingdom knows only pride, which precedes his fall.[15]
Satan is also acquainted with God’s true calendar. King Charles III was crowned on the first day of unleavened bread II.[16] This is the anniversary of Jesus’ rest in the tomb on a High Sabbath.[17] A stone was secured on His sepulcher to ensure that He would not come out. Satan felt victorious when Christ lay in the tomb,[18] and choosing the anniversary of that day, he shows his intent to yet gain the victory by overcoming the Christ-like people of the last days. It is similar to how the crosses of the papal church typically show Jesus where Satan would have Him be—perpetually crucified.
However, the Father sent a mighty angel to call forth His Son from the grave and to roll away the stone holding Him in.[19] The memorial of the day of Christ’s resurrection on May 27 in AD 31 is highlighted by God in the sign of the Son of man, by marking the proclamation of Jesus as King of the earth on that memorial date of May 27, 2023. It is also the beginning of the day (year) of the Lord as the Holy Spirit, represented by comet S3, departs from Lepus to make way for Jesus to come back.[20] A year later, on May 27, 2024, again on the memorial anniversary of His resurrection, Jesus will call forth all the dead in Christ in the first resurrection, just before the rapture.[21]
Much as the year from March 8, 2022, to March 8, 2023, was punctuated by symbols of the cross, as we discussed at length in articles such as Looking Up to All Truth, the year ahead is likewise punctuated by memorials to the resurrection. Could it be that this is the year when the special resurrection of God’s army in Ezekiel’s vision may be fulfilled as the earth descends into the last battle!?
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. (Ezekiel 37:9-10)
In his pride, Nebuchadnezzar blasphemously erected an imitation statue fully of gold, and obliged all the subjects of his kingdom to bow down and worship it in defiance of the decree of God that limited the duration of his earthly kingdom. God’s kingdom alone endures forever, but like Nebuchadnezzar of old, King Charles III sat upon the “Stone of Destiny”[22] clad in golden apparel and boldly claimed allegiance from onlookers as though the nations of the earth all belonged to him. Both Nebuchadnezzar and King Charles III blasphemed against God by declaring through the symbolism of the head-to-toe golden attire that theirs is the everlasting kingdom.
Just as Nebuchadnezzar demanded worship from his subjects on the threat of death, the loyal children of God will also soon be oppressed and ultimately threatened with death by the globalist powers.
Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, [current population worldwide] That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image [yield to pressure to embrace all the ungodly initiatives of the NWO] that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace [death sentence]. (Daniel 3:4-6)
The faith of many will be tried in the time ahead, and the foundation on which one stands will be revealed. Is our faith firmly grounded on the Rock or is it built on the shifting sands of comfort and convenience? Has self-sacrificial love been nourished in our life or does a self-indulgent mentality prevail? How much are we willing to suffer for the Lord?
As it was with Daniel’s friends, others around us may turn us in, demanding that we bow down to laws that are contrary to God’s law, such as the Covid-19 vaccination, LGBT equality, or possibly even certain mandates relating to the climate agenda, all strongly pushed by modern-day Babylon.
There are certain Jews [Christians]… these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image [representing the principles of the NWO] which thou hast set up. (Daniel 3:12)
What decision would you make in such a case? We have already been significantly deprived of freedom of speech, but when your government prevents you from using “your own” money, or even imprisons those who don’t comply with the system, will you capitulate?[23] The greedy powers of the world under Satan’s influence are determined to eradicate all opposition from those who refuse to bend the knee to their agenda like Nebuchadnezzar also was.
Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? (Daniel 3:15)
The enemy is enslaving the world, and a hint to how that is executed in modern times is given in the image itself. Each successive material was of a lesser value, until the feet that had a remnant of the stability of iron but was mixed with worthless clay. This sequence represents the inflation of modern fiat currencies arising from printing billions of currency notes without increasing the store of value they represent. This steals the hard-earned value from the working class, and leads them to pine away just to make ends meet, without anything extra to improve their lives.
The pocketbook is among the surest means of coercion available, and “killing” in the financial furnace is already used by banks to restrict buying or selling (i.e. movement of money) unless one complies with the requirements of the system—which are never stated. The compliance department of banks is the controlling arm for money flow, and they work in secret, leaving the customer wondering if they will ever be able to use their money again. Often, one must answer detailed and personally invasive questions regarding what they intend to do and where the money came from.
But they never reveal the actual criteria by which they evaluate whether or not to let you use your money. It is usually touted to be just about (overzealous) prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, but it is also about whether one uses their nemesis currency, Bitcoin. Nor will you be informed if your name appears on an internal “social terrorist” list (for one’s public stance on LGBT tolerance or “religious extremism” for example).
Despite the increasing trouble, the revelation of the sign of the Son of man imparts hope and assurance to endure until the end. All those who look up in full faith and confidence to the divine masterpiece are empowered to answer in unison with the three Hebrew friends who boldly declared their faith in the deliverance of the Lord.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. (Daniel 3:16-18)
The power in the sign of the Son of man derives from the self-sacrificing love of God that is revealed there. All those who follow Christ’s example of self-sacrifice as illustrated in Orion, overcoming by His blood (His DNA), represented by the Eridanus River that flows from His side, and embrace His character of time as the Horologium constellation reveals, will have their trust in the Lord strengthened through the difficulties they face. They will choose to obey Christ whatever the cost.
As a type for our days, the trial of the three Hebrews shows that Jesus is personally intervening for our deliverance, appearing in the midst of the fiery furnace to preserve alive those among His faithful children who are sealed in His name.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. (Daniel 3:24-25)
As the conflagration that erupts on the earth consumes the land represented by Lepus, we see One like the Son of God (Orion) with His feet standing in the burning oven where the three friends (the three comets, K2, E3, and S3) are thrown into the fire.
As Jesus was there, protecting His faithful ones from the harm of the blazing fire, so He stands as the Protector to all who look up in faith to the sign of His deliverance. This revelation of Jesus Christ provides the strength and confidence needed to face the great time of trouble that is upon us. Orion, the brightest constellation in the night sky, stands up as Michael (meaning “Who is like God”, which is reminiscent of Nebuchadnezzar’s acknowledgement that He was “like the Son of God”) for the deliverance of His people and causes His enemies to tremble at the sight.
And at that time [the beginning of the year on May 27, 2023] 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 [the end of the year on May 27, 2024] thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. (Daniel 12:1)
What you will read in this section demonstrates the precision with which our Lord orchestrates the fulfillment of His word. He is earnestly directing our attention to the heavens, so that we can recognize that our redemption is not just near, but close enough to track it. He is coming in power and great glory. On May 12, 2023, news headlines revealed the discovery of the largest cosmic explosion ever seen.
Astronomers reveal the largest cosmic explosion ever seen
The explosion is more than ten times brighter than any known supernova (exploding star) and three times brighter than the brightest tidal disruption event, where a star falls into a supermassive black hole.
The explosion, known as AT2021lwx, has currently lasted over three years, compared to most supernovae which are only visibly bright for a few months. It took place nearly 8 billion light years away, when the universe was around 6 billion years old, and is still being detected by a network of telescopes.
The researchers believe that the explosion is a result of a vast cloud of gas, possibly thousands of times larger than our sun, that has been violently disrupted by a supermassive black hole. Fragments of the cloud would be swallowed up, sending shockwaves through its remnants, as well as into a large dusty ‘doughnut’ surrounding the black hole. Such events are very rare and nothing on this scale has been witnessed before.
This explosion was first detected in November 2020, but it was not until now that reports about the unprecedented explosion were released.
The AT2021lwx event dethrones gamma-ray burst GRB 221009A as the brightest recorded cosmic explosion, which was reported in 2022. The gamma-ray burst was actually brighter, but it only lasted for a fraction of AT2021lwx, which is releasing more energy overall.[24]
What is the significance of this “great” cloud? Does it relate to or confirm the sign of the Son of man in any way?
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven [traced by the paths of comets E3 and K2]: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Matthew 24:30)
Jesus comes in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. We have long associated the clouds with the cloudy comas of the comets that announce His coming (K2 and E3), but they are certainly not gloriously bright. Now given this unprecedented explosion associated with great clouds of gas, the amount of light continuously radiating from it can well be described as “great glory”! Furthermore, the timing and location of the explosion reveals marvelous understanding confirming the sign of the Son of man and further fulfilling the testimony of God’s word.
The reports about this long-duration cosmic explosion reached the press on May 12, 2023, which was the seventh day of unleavened bread according to God’s calendar. This was the anniversary of the day when the Israelites crossed the red sea and were delivered from their Egyptian persecutors.[25] A pillar of cloud and of fire stood between them and their enemies acting as a protective wall.
And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night. (Exodus 14:19-20)
This churning pillar of cloud and of fire stood as an impenetrable wall of protection between Israel and his enemies. Considering that the explosion was first detected in November 2020,[26] when Covid-19 vaccines were being developed and tested[27] around the world, it may represent a protective cloud for God’s children against the vaccination threat. God was aware of the rushing army of attackers, and He manifested His power in this sign of protection.
As we have written before, the Covid-19 vaccines constitute the abomination that maketh desolate and the number of the beast. Never before had man assumed the prerogatives of God to interfere in the genetic processes of the bodies of the general public. The quick development and global roll-out of this new technology posed a direct attack against every human being, and ultimately, most did not escape.
The scientists are baffled, finding it difficult to explain how this explosion could last for so long, but this was according to God’s timing. The fact that the report of this ongoing explosion comes now, signals that God is giving assurance to His undefiled first fruits (the 144,000) and all who resisted the vaccination threat throughout that time. We will be able to go forward in His light with determined confidence in the strength of the Lord, to stand steadfast through even greater coercive pressure that may come ahead. On the other hand, this growing explosion shows His building wrath that is about to break out against the wicked like it did against Pharaoh and his army.
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? (Revelation 6:17)
But there is even more to learn from the timing of the report of this explosive light! It was also the anniversary of the unveiling of the first image of the central black hole of our Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, on May 12, 2022. And this is where we find the connection to the sign of the Son of man, because now it corresponds to the prophecy of the approaching small black cloud associated with Jesus’ coming.[28] Could it be that the great white cloud is now manifesting as the brightest (i.e. “whitest”) astronomical cloud ever witnessed?
The symbolism in Revelation 14 provides a reaffirming hint:
And I looked, and behold a white cloud [the cosmic explosion], and upon the cloud [i.e., at the time the cloud was reported] one sat like unto the Son of man, [Jesus in Orion] having on his head a golden crown, [comet K2] and in his hand a sharp sickle [made by the path of E3]. (Revelation 14:14)
Finally, consider that May 12 of AD 31, the year of Christ’s crucifixion, was the first day of the first month, when the Jews would have sought for ripe barley to use for the wave sheaf offering of the Passover week, which was offered on May 27, AD 31. For centuries, the first harvested barley sheaf was waved before God on the sixteenth day of the Hebrew month, foreshadowing the resurrection of Jesus Christ the first fruits from the grave[29] on that very day, May 27, AD 31.[30] Thus, in memorial of that year, May 12, when the first fruits sheaf of the barley harvest was cut, points to May 27, when Jesus was raised as the first fruits of the harvest of His people and literally ascended briefly to His Father for approval.[31]
The revelation of this incredible light on the memorial anniversary of the barley search is a signal that the 144,000 end-time first fruits[32] are finally gathered and ready to make their offering. Therefore, with this signal on May 12, 2023 that the first fruits have been gathered, Christ can be crowned the King of the earth on the memorial anniversary of His resurrection on May 27, 2023.
The cosmic explosion was reported as being ten times brighter than the brightest supernova. Even this fact has prophetic significance. The light of understanding coming from the study of Orion (since 2010) was prophesied to shine ten times brighter[33] than the original jewels of the church, which were not appreciated for what they were. Now is the time when the jewels, placed in their heavenly setting, are to reveal their brilliance before the world.
The timepiece of the kingdom of Christ as shown to Nebuchadnezzar and depicted in Orion is nearly finished, and just now, a cosmic explosion with indescribable brightness is seen.
The research team determined that the incredibly luminous event was nearly 100 times brighter than all the 100 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy combined.
Jesus spoke of a hundredfold yield from the gospel seed that fell on good ground—fruit for the kingdom.
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. (Matthew 13:23)
The light of the fourth Angel is to lighten the earth with Christ’s glory at the darkest hour of its history, the time when the Holy Spirit is withdrawn from the wicked and the day (year) of the Lord begins.
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. (Revelation 18:1)
It is only through the portions of the Holy Spirit conveyed through the two witnesses and the sign of the Son of man that all of God’s children will be able to stand during this time.[34]
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6)
Those who embrace the testimony of time and the message that the Spirit speaks through the sign of the Son of man, will ultimately shine brightly as prophesied.
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)
So far, regarding the cosmic explosion, we have examined the importance of the timing in God’s plan and what it represents. But its location is also very significant.
This bright beacon of consuming fire radiates from the right wing of the constellation of the Swan (Cygnus), wherein is found the asterism known as the Northern Cross. Naturally, when God places a newsworthy astronomical object at a heavenly cross, we can be assured that He has given it special significance. And being that it is at the outstretched wing of the swan at the right hand of the cross, it calls to mind a well-known prophecy of Revelation.
And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. (Revelation 10:5-7)
In Looking Up to All Truth, we described a three-fold divine emphasis on March 8 that we couldn’t ignore. On March 8, 2021, we saw that this oath was shown in the Orion clock, as we described in the video, The King Has Sworn! We anticipated that this would mean that there would be no more time beyond that cycle of the Orion clock, and that Jesus would return at its end. But the Lord has more than one clock in the heavens, and while indeed, He ceased to reckon time on the Orion clock of the Son, He still used the Mazzaroth clock of the Father.
Lo and behold, exactly one year later, we discovered a special cross on the Mazzaroth clock that pointed to the same day, March 8, 2022, as though extending the oath to say that time would no longer be reckoned on the Mazzaroth clock. Indeed, since that time, the Lord has directed our attention elsewhere, with only coincidental references to the Mazzaroth. One clock remains, upon which God has been marking the last moments: the Horologium clock of the Holy Spirit. It, too, marked March 8, 2023.
Fitting to the pattern laid down up to that point, time would continue long enough for the clock to finish its cycle before being discontinued. The Spirit leads us step-by-step, often by refining our understanding of events from being a one-day occurrence to a process that takes a given length of time to fulfill. In hindsight, it is clear that March 8, 2023, which marked the midst of Daniel’s seventieth end-time week, pointed to Jesus’ return, not as a one-day event, but as the beginning of a process of His coming—a process that began precisely upon the end of that week. On March 12, 2023, the sign of the Son of man began to be formed, which indicates the last stretch of time before the visible appearance of the Lord. He comes with the clouds, so naturally, we see the cometary clouds of His return before we see His person! Thus, like a good storyteller, the Lord continues to reveal the mystery in more and more detail until it is completely finished.
Throughout this three-fold oath, as clock after clock shows that there shall be time no longer, from the Orion clock in 2021 to the Horologium clock in 2023, the unprecedented explosion at the right hand of the Northern Cross has been giving off more light and radiation than any other explosion ever encountered. It is the summation of the oath and declares that the end has come. We already shared how this explosion, which was reported on May 12, 2023, points to May 27, 2023, which is the apparent boundary marking the end of the time of deliberation with the Holy Spirit, and the beginning of a time of final decisions.
On May 27, 2023, the comet S3, which represents the Holy Spirit, departs from the “footstool” constellation, pointing not only to the United States, but on a broader scale, to the whole earth, which is declared to be God’s footstool. It points to the fearful, but necessary circumstance that His presence on earth will only remain in and be communicated through His infilled people. Wickedness will be unrestrained where His people are not directly present. Thus, anyone who has not yet made their decision for the Lord must receive Him directly at the hands of His people, in whom He dwells, if they are to be written in His book.
Then those who feared the Lord spoke with each other, and the Lord listened to what they said. In his presence [through the sign of the Son of man], a scroll of remembrance was written to record the names of those who feared him [respecting His authority as Creator by keeping their DNA undefiled with the abomination of man] and always thought about the honor of his name. “They will be my people,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. “On the day when I act in judgment [from May 27, 2023, to May 27, 2024], they will be my own special treasure. I will spare them as a father spares an obedient child. Then you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.” (Malachi 3:16-18 NLT)
The last hour of mercy on the Horologium clock is expiring, which representatively marks one year per hour as we learned from our first studies of it. But how are those years divided? Our attention was first brought to the clock as Comet BB was discovered to be a comet shortly after entering the Horologium, and has served as the main sprocket for its operation. Each full turn of comet BB takes about a year, and crosses its path in mid-to-late May each year.
This corresponds very well to the beginning of the day of the Lord on May 27, 2023, wherein God’s people are sustained only by the daily portions of the hidden manna in the sign of the Son of man,[35] rather than because it is a time of mercy as shown on a clock. In fact, the comet BB leaves the clockface in these very days of May 25-27, 2023.
The oath began in 2021 at the Betelgeuse marker on the Orion clock, which represented the Lord’s raised right hand. Today, that same Betelgeuse, which had dimmed to about a third of its usual brightness the year before, is now dramatically increasing in brightness, again fueling speculation that it may soon explode in a supernova. The Lord led us early-on to understand that possibility in light of the plagues of Revelation and the wrath of God. Now we see a huge explosion of long duration in Cygnus in a comparable position to Betelgeuse with respect to Jesus in Orion, at the same time that Betelgeuse itself is brightening! This suggests that the great white cloud at the right wing of the Swan points to a time of judgment and plagues, as we would expect.
It may be worthy to note that this constellation being a swan, and knowing that the war has strong financial aspects, it could also signify that a so-called “black swan event” could take place that will have a dramatic negative consequence on the market and economy. Some have determined that the US treasury, which has already warned that it may run out of funds by June 1, may actually run out sooner. Widely called the “X-date” when the US could default on its debt, some financial experts have placed it as early as May 25. Isn’t it interesting that the Lord has His X-date in Lepus, at very nearly the same time? The two comets cross paths on May 26 and June 9. Could this be a reference to the X-date of the US default? We don’t have long to wait before we find out!
The location of the great white cloud, though next to the right wing of the swan, is also technically within the boundaries of the constellation Vulpecula, the fox. This may also be significant, especially when we consider the path of comet S3. This comet, which represents the Holy Spirit, departs from Lepus on May 27 and then exits the outline of the great fish on May 30, as it embarks on a journey during the year of the Lord that ultimately leads it directly to the Northern Cross in the Swan constellation, passing through Vulpecula before touching the cross.
Could God be signifying something more with the cosmic explosion being at the “fox”[36] constellation? In the Bible, Jesus figuratively referred to Herod as a fox, which was a demeaning expression that contrasted Herod’s powerlessness to act against Jesus’ own divine purpose.
The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. And he said unto them, go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. (Luke 13:31-32)
Herod had no power to do anything against Jesus, nor even to change His plans before His time had come to be given into the hands of men.[37] By contrast, God would show exactly who had power over whom, because Jesus prophesied to such that they would behold Him when He returned in glory.
Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord [Alnitak of Orion]. (Luke 13:35)
Jesus saith unto him, [the High Priest] Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven [comets E3 and K2 that form the sign of the Son of man]. (Matthew 26:64)
These verses correlate the sign of the Son of man with the cosmic explosion and the arrival of comet S3 to the constellation of the fox while comets K2 and E3 continue forming the great fish. The position of the fox just below the Northern Cross, suggests that the fox represents a class of on-lookers at Jesus’ feet.
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. (Revelation 1:7-8)
In order for those men to see Jesus return, they must be raised from the dead. Thus, there must be a special resurrection in order for those who were instrumental in killing Jesus to behold His coming before the first resurrection at the end of the day of the Lord on May 27, 2024. Daniel also gives indication of this special resurrection to take place after Michael stands up at the beginning of the day of the Lord on May 27, 2023.
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. And many [not all] of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. (Daniel 12:1-2)
Those who are raised to everlasting contempt include those “foxes” that participated in the unjust judgment of Jesus. They are represented in the Vulpecula constellation.
Notice, however, that this special resurrection also includes a group of people who are raised to everlasting life. These are also raised to behold His glory, which they cherished so much in their life. Contrasted with the fox, these overcomers are represented on the opposite side of the cross in the constellation, Lyra—signifying a relationship to the harpers of Revelation.[38] Like the wicked leaders who taunted Jesus on the cross, there were others standing before the cross who observed His sacrifice with broken hearts of love. Both of these groups have representatives who are to be raised from the dead.
Graves are opened, and “many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth ... awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12:2). All who have died in the faith of the third angel’s message come forth from the tomb glorified to hear God’s covenant of peace with those who have kept His law. “They also which pierced Him” (Revelation 1:7), those that mocked and derided Christ’s dying agonies, and the most violent opposers of His truth and His people, are raised to behold Him in His glory, and to see the honor placed upon the loyal and obedient. —The Great Controversy, 636, 637 (1911). LDE 271.2
Could it be that comet S3 gives an indication of when this wondrous event may take place? On April 21, 2024, comet S3 reaches the vertical line of the Northern Cross, and reaches the crossbeam the seventh day on April 27, 2024.
This date corresponds to the solar anniversary of the great GRB of April 27, 2013, which was the wave sheaf offering day that year, leading us to associate it with the special resurrection as shown in the following image from the article The Seven Lean Years, when the Lord led us with a very similar timing as we have now.
The Lord has faithfully guided in the understanding of His time, and often we find prophetic elements in past articles after the seven years that the Lord granted in answer to our petition. What we see in the similarity of the dates may be another example of that. Now that the report of the sign of the Son of man shows how the Lord chose the special commemorative date of May 27, 2024 as the time for the first resurrection and deliverance of His children—the same date we proclaimed in 2019 —we could offer the possibility that the special resurrection could be on April 27, 2024.
In support of this idea, a glance at the Mazzaroth shows that during the same time frame that S3 travels from the vertical beam of the Northern Cross to the horizontal beam, Venus (symbolizing the church) moves quite precisely from the fish lying on the ecliptic to the one standing upright. This, in the presence of the sun nearby in the corner of Aries the Lamb, suggests a transition from dead to alive!
Recall that this takes place where a collapsing binary star system has been reported that could generate a red nova upon uniting. In The Maiden and the Millstone, we showed how this binary system could represent the tables of God’s law, for which the Lord’s blood was spilled.
The light of the white cloud shone as God swore that “there should be time no longer” and the three clocks sounded their final chimes. Could it be that as comet S3 strikes the Northern Cross, it signifies when the special resurrection confirms that there would be no more delay to see the Lord’s visible return?
By the time comet S3 reaches the cross in Cygnus, the oppression in the world will certainly be so extreme that Jesus’ deliverance one month later on May 27, 2024, would be required if flesh would survive. This is the date when we can expect all the sleeping saints will arise to join the living saints in the air to meet the Lord.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 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. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17)
On the memorial anniversary of His own resurrection victory, Jesus calls forth His sleeping children to awake and arise from the dust of the earth. What a chorus of victory will then be heard as the power of the risen Savior is manifest in full!
There is yet one more scene to consider that is related to Jesus’ crucifixion as depicted in this area of the heavens.
The constellation above the cross is Cepheus the king. In this context, He stands for the unseen, but loving Father, who watched His beloved Son give His life to reconcile humanity to Himself. Yet not all would receive Him as their Savior. Humanity was divided into two classes. On either side of the Northern Cross (the constellation Cygnus), we see representations of two other groups, to which the thieves that were crucified with Jesus belong. Draco would represent those who, like the unrepentant thief, have a heart that is filled with the spirit of the dragon, with pride and unforgiveness. Pegasus, on the other hand, is an animal that serves its rider, and with its wings is suggestive of a humble heart that is ready to lead others to heaven. This constellation could represent the class of the repentant thief, who acknowledged Jesus’ nobility in His most humble moment, and expressed his faith, asking to be counted in the kingdom of Christ. Pegasus brushes up against the Lord’s fish that is lying on the ecliptic (the dead in Christ), associating it with those to be resurrected to life.
And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. (Luke 23:39-42)
The repentant thief had a bad life without the benefit of a knowledge of God, yet with little more than a fear of the Lord, he caught a glimpse of the nature of the kingdom of God and desired to be part of that realm of self-sacrificial love.
The two classes of thieves are like those today who have not made a decision for Christ or against Him. As the thieves were brought into the Lord’s presence, they were affected by His Spirit, and His example was a witness to them. They could not change their earthly fate, nor was any mercy granted them, but in Christ’s presence, they could make a final decision and seal their eternal destiny. So in the day of the Lord, many will be witnesses to the heavenly peace and noble deportment of the 144,000 (though labeled as criminals), who cannot hide the Spirit that motivates them, and the sinner will be convicted in their heart. If they cherish the influence of the person’s Spirit and embrace it, they will be redeemed, though through death, but if they resist Him in the person of one of the 144,000 witnesses, they will close their door to heaven forever.
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. (Matthew 25:45-46)
The testimony given by the sign of the Son of man is true. All the plans are laid out for the provision and protection of His children. Let each one look up and exercise faith in His power declaring Him to be King of kings and Lord of lords. Jesus promises to be with us amid the fiery trials ahead and like the three Hebrew friends, we can confidently declare our trust and allegiance to our King. When that unshakable faith is exhibited whatever the cost, the character of Jesus is reflected in us, and He can come to claim us as His own.
Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own. {LDE 39.2}
The sign of the most luminous explosion ever observed indicates that that time has finally come, and there shall therefore be time no longer, but His glory will finally lighten the earth. This is their time to serve in the last hour, while all the rejectors of His sacrifice will experience unspeakable regret and lament over what they forsook, turning with unbridled hatred against the righteous. But regardless of the privations or scorn we may have to endure, we may look up at the signs of His love and joyfully exclaim His praise as He imparts His Spirit to stand firm guiding His sheep day by day until His appearance.
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. (Isaiah 25:9)
