Thou shalt keep the feast of ingathering which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field, (Exo 23:15-16 KJV)

https://www.answersoflife.com/

For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from YHWH: (Heb 6:7 KJV)

We are approaching the end of the year, the ingathering of our crops here in Montana at the beginning of the Fall Holy Day season. This is Part Two of a series that I started a couple of years ago and will focus our attention on Jericho, Yahushua and the seven trumpets, the prophetic prototype of Revelation as we will see as we go into it. The theme we have been using during the Memorial of Trumpets presentation has been the grape vine, and we will continue that theme and I think you will start to see why.

The grape vine is included as one of the seven agricultural products indigenous to the Promised Land that YHWH gave the nation of Israel. We see the evidence of these crops that were provided in the Promised Land in Deuteronomy 8:7-8.

For YHWH your Elohim bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
(Deu 8:7-8 KJV)

The grapes in the Promised Land grew in large clusters as was reported to Moses by the expedition of twelve Israelites who went into the Promised Land on a reconnaissance mission to spy out Canaan.

And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs. (Num 13:23 KJV)

The grape clusters were so large that they carried them between two men and after the settlement in the Promised Land; men were not to go to war until they had harvested and eaten of their own grape harvest.

And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it. (Deu 20:6 KJV)

YHWH is telling them to go eat their grapes before they die in battle. The background and the theme of the grape cluster will develop as we go through this presentation series.

In Part One we looked at the background and instructions and got our feet on the ground with what this Day of Trumpets is about.

We talked about the Levitical instructions in Deuteronomy and Leviticus and looked at the different kinds of trumpets.

We see that there is the shofar and the silver trumpet and we looked at some of the main events that occur in the scriptures that use the trumpet.

This time we will go into scriptures that can be found in the Book of Joshua and the account of Jericho. It’s amazing when you start examining this that you look forward and see the forerunner of the battle of Jericho with the events in the book of Revelation. We will make that comparison in this study and will be in the first few chapter of Joshua along with multiple chapters in Revelation.

Jericho – c. 1400 BCE

Of importance is where it is located. If you would look on a map even to this day Jericho is on the northwest corner of the Dead Sea not far from the Jordan River. It is about 25 miles as the land provides direction to Jerusalem. Jerusalem is a little south and west from Jericho.

This location is where the Israelites crossed the Jordan and their first major military encounter was a formidable structure of the town, or the city called Jericho.

$D:\Documents\Spiritual\HolyDaysFall\PowerPoint Presentations\TrumpetsPt2V3forWord\TrumpetsPt2V3forWord\Slide3 Copy.jpg$

Jericho has been the sight of a number of archeological excavations and the evidence that is available is quite extensive of what this city would look like and how it dated back in history.

The representation of what the city looked like on the next page is typical if you do the research. It was somewhat an oval shaped city and had two barrier walls. It had a lower wall and an upper wall and had somewhat a ditch going around it with a revetment wall. This kind of construction was difficult for any type of invasion to overcome.

The inhabitants that lived in Jericho were pretty confident that there wouldn’t be a big problem when, in the day of around 1400 BCE, Joshua and all the children of Israel came upon it.

Jericho is Likely worlds’ oldest city and is still inhabited, or at least there is a city called Jericho nearby. It isn’t inhabited on the exact spot but is just a mile or two away.

$D:\Documents\Spiritual\HolyDaysFall\PowerPoint Presentations\TrumpetsPt2V3forWord\Slide2.JPG$

The defensive walls that were part of the city were quite extensive. There were two of them and are thought to have been similar, one was inside the other and the upper or inner wall was somewhat higher than the other. They were about six feet across on top and about 20 feet high. There was a terraced embankment of 15 to 20 feet that led up to the lower wall. There was a terrace between the lower and upper wall as the picture defines.

The combined wall height was something like 30 to 40 feet and if you looked at this from a distance as you were coming across the plain and as you crossed the Jordan River you would see what would look like a pretty tall wall. It would give you second thoughts as to why you would want to approach this city.

In the time of the Book of Joshua it was thought that it was around a thousand to twelve hundred people that lived in this city. The inner city is something around six acres so it isn’t a huge metropolis, nothing like Babylon. The total area was around nine acres so it wasn’t a huge area but well-fortified. Of interest, it had its own internal water supply called Ein Al-Sultan Spring. The inhabitants had a continuous water supply if they were ever under siege. That gave them a lot of comfort I suppose. Fundamentally, it was thought of as impregnable.

In this present day it is a Tell or a mound called Tell es-Sultan and you can visit it and stand on the many layers of dirt over which this original city occupied. If you look at what is going on there today, you find it is under the Palestinian Authority. There is around a population of eighteen thousand people living in what is called the city of Jericho today. It is an Israeli occupied land on the West Bank since the 1967 war although it is notable that the governance is through the Palestinian Authority.

This gives us a visual of what Joshua and the Israelites would have encountered when they first came over the Jordan and saw this fortress before them.

Memorial of Trumpets
Jericho, Yahushua, Seven Trumpets and Revelation
Fall of Jericho

As we start to unfold this we will start in Joshua chapter 6. This is of course after the Passover event in chapter 5.

Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. And YHWH said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, (this is a past tense verb, they haven’t taken it yet but YHWH says he has given it to them) and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. And ye shall compass ^{H5437=revolve} the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets ^{H7782=shofar, curved horn} of rams’ horns ^{H3104=yobel, blast of a horn – continuous}: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets ^H7782=same. And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn ^{H3104=yobel, blast of a horn}, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet ^{H7782=ram’s horn}, all the people shall shout ^{H7321=rua, split the ears with sound} with a great shout ^{H864=teruah=clangor of trumpets, acclimation of joy}; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him. (Jos 6:1-5 KJV)

There is a lot going on in the first five verses and underlined the phrase “it shall come to pass”, and you will notice that “it shall come to pass” a number of times as we go through this presentation. Be aware and look for it.

Compass the city 7 days
cf. Revelation 6-8
7 seals

We have read the first few verses but it’s useful to go into Revelation and compare this going around the city seven days to some of the events that will happen in Revelation. I believe that the first events of going around or compassing the city seven days revolve around the seven seals. I think you will see how the comparisons come after we get a foundation under us of what these scriptures say.

Let’s go to Revelation chapter 5.

Revelation
7 Seals
Who is Worthy to Open?

And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside (written on both sides), sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. (When something is sealed like this, it’s usually sealed because it’s a very important document and only certain people in this time of the Roman Empire would have been authorized to break the seal. In this case, no one is able because this document is so important.) And I wept much,(John speaking) because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of YHWH sent forth into all the earth. And he ^Yahushuacame and took the book out of the right hand of him ^YHWHthat sat upon the throne. (Rev 5:1-7 KJV)

John is speaking and it’s useful to keep in mind the background of what Revelation 5 is talking about and who it’s addressing particularly. We get who it’s addressing in Revelation chapter 1 in a couple of spots in verses 4 and 11, it says:

John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne….What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches ^assemblies (Rev 1:4, 11 KJV)

You see the seven seals unfold right up front in Revelation and also that the whole book is written to the Seven Assemblies. I would say listen up those of us that are one of the Seven Assemblies. It may only be four assemblies left, there is a question in my mind whether Ephesus, Smyrna, or Pergamos are still in effect, but certainly Thyatira, Philadelphia, Laodicea and Sardis would still seem active because the tribulation in one form or another is mentioned to those four assemblies. That is a topic all on its own.

The Book of Revelation, particularly as these seals unfold are written for the admonition of the Assemblies. Looking at the first four seals:

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

You might think this white horse must be the return of Messiah. NO! This is not the return of Messiah, this is a substitute. This is a counterfeit of Satan’s choosing. Someone that will look like Messiah and try to act like the Messiah but it will be a substitute.

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. (Now you know why I said back in Joshua, YHWH said “See” now in the book of Revelation it says “come and see”). 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.

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

This is a time of scarcity, food commodities are scarce and while a penny doesn’t seem like much, the point of this is that things are being meted out and measured for money.

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (Rev 6:2-8 KJV)

Twenty five percent of the earth is going to be subject to this killing machine that is unfolding.

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of YHWH, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud ^G3173=megas voice ^G5456=fonay, saying, How long, O YHWH, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Notice that it’s under the alter the souls that were slain, so these are the ones that are in the presence of YHWH but they are still slain, dead, under the alter. We are going to see contrast of this that on the alter were some others that will appear. The called out, the elect are being talked about here that they will be killed for their belief system.

Revelation
5^th and 6^th Seals

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places^{G5117=topos=spot in space, locality} (Rev 6:9-14 KJV)

6^th seal introduces the Day of YHWH

This is a major astronomical disorder. This scripture has grabbed me for the last number of years. When the heaven departs as a scroll, when it is rolled together, you have to imagine a scroll rolling together maybe something like a venetian blind, or something like it that rolls itself together, the heaven is going to depart that way. What we see in the natural universe is departing that way. When it says that the islands were moved out of their places, that means “topos”, or “topography”, the spot in space and its locality. This is a major geological event on top of an astronomical event.

Continuing on:

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?
(Rev 6:15-17 KJV)

I don’t want to miss the mention of “the stars falling to the earth as a fig tree casts her untimely figs”. When the wind shakes the fig tree, it casts of the figs that are not ripe yet, in some cases they could be over-ripe also but it’s probably the ones that aren’t ripe. There is a lot to learn about the fig tree but will only refer to Matthew when Yahushua said:

Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: (Mat 24:32 KJV)

There is a lot on the fig tree; there is a parable about the non-producing fig tree that Yahushua talked about but this parable about “when his branch is yet tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near”. This should be an indicator of the time that is transpiring.

Revelation
7^th Seal opens 7 trumpets

When we get to the seventh seal, this opens the seven trumpets.

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before YHWH; and to them were given seven trumpets. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar (The first mention that we had was the saints that were under the alter because they were dead. They had been sanctified but were dead, and now the saints with the prayers that are coming are upon the golden alter which was before the throne.) which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before YHWH out of the angel’s hand. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. (Rev 8:1-6 KJV)

We have the seven seals under our belt and when we go back to our account in Joshua we start to see that there are some parallels with some of the things that are said.

As we go through the Book of Joshua in chapters six and ten, we are going to see that both of the events that we read in Revelation and the seven trumpets that we are about to read in Joshua, we are going to see the comparison and the forward pointer, the prototype of what is being said in these events.

7 priests and 7 trumpets
cf. Revelation 8-11
7 angels and trumpets

There are seven priests and seven trumpets and we see that in Joshua 6:

And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets ^{H7782=shofar, curved horn} of rams’ horns^{H3104=yobel, blast of a horn}: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets ^H7782=same. (Jos 6:4 KJV)

Revelation
7 Angels and 7 Trumpets
Trumpets 1-4 (3^rd part of Heaven and Earth destroyed)

It’s significant to keep in mind that the seven trumpets are shofars, and the ram’s horn is yobel. I will highlight that when we get to it. Look at the comparison of the seven priests and the seven trumpets in Joshua with the seven angels and the seven trumpets in Revelation. I will be re-quoting snippets of these scriptures as we go along but I want you to get the fullness of them before I quote some small parts. The seven angels and the seven trumpets start out:

The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up ^{(the 3rd part – 5th trumpet protects the grass that is left over)}.

I will note that it says that all of the green grass, but we are going to see when we get to the fifth trump that there is grass that is protected. I would submit that “all the green grass” being burnt up here is referring to all of the third part of it.

And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. (Rev 8:7-9 KJV)

We are seeing a third part of destruction and it’s going to be of heaven and earth once we get through the first four trumpets. Keep in mind it is the heavens and the earth that are being talked about, a third part being destroyed.

This “great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea”, my mind’s eye goes to something like a huge asteroid that in fact does hit the earth. This is one of the things you see in the news from time to time now that there are near misses. About a month or two ago there was an asteroid that came very close in astronomical terms. It came between the moon and earth and that’s only a quarter of a million miles. In astronomical terms that is a near miss, and a near grazing blow. In any case, my mind’s eye sees these great mountains burning with fire as something like an asteroid but it could be a supernatural event. An asteroid would fit the description of this appropriately as the asteroid heats up in the earth’s atmosphere and it’s burning with fire and if it’s big enough it’s cast into the sea.

And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven (could be an asteroid and some commentaries comment that this might be an angel), burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, (the second angel was about the sea, now we have the third part of the rivers) and upon the fountains (the headwaters) of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood ^{G894=bitterness, calamity}: and the third part of the waters became wormwood ^G894=same; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten ^{G4141=flattening out, pound, inflict calamity}, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened ^{G4654=obscure (concealed)}, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! (Rev 8:10-13 KJV)

There are three more angels that are woe woe woe. A couple of comments about this because “a third part of the sun was smitten”, this word “smitten” in the Greek means flattening out, pound or inflict calamity. Up until recently when I read this in my mind’s eye was that the sun was smitten and the moon, because there was so much smoke in the atmosphere from the military machines and war was the reason the sun was darkened. This gives the indication that there are some astronomical events that are happening, collisions perhaps. It says the sun was smitten, flattened out so I’m not sure about this but was the sun hit by some other large body in the universe and causes disruption along with the moon and stars? The known visible universe that we see seems to be having disruption from their normal natural order.

“The third part of them was darkened”, it was obscured, or concealed, so I guess that’s where you get the idea that this could be smoke but whatever is happening, this event calls for a darkening of the sun moon and stars.

Revelation
7 Angels and 7 Trumpets
Trumpet 5

And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth (here is another, an asteroid or an angel, I’m not attached to either explanation it says it’s a star that falls from heaven): and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.(this star seems to refer to a “he”, and it would appear that it would perhaps be an angel that was given the key to the bottomless pit) And he opened the bottomless pit (notice that he came from heaven to the earth to open this pit so that would insinuate to me that this pit is on the earth and the only place there could be a bottomless pit would be the center of the earth as there could be no bottom in the center); and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened ^{G4654=obscure} by reason of the smoke of the pit. (This would appear to me when I think about this, that an angel comes that has a key and opens up a cavern that goes to the center of the earth and smoke comes out) 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. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth (there has to be grass left over from the previous trumpets in order for this to be the case so now you see why I said in the previous destruction of grass was only the one third because now there is grass left over), neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal ^{G4973=signet, stamp impressed as mark of privacy or genuineness} of YHWH in their foreheads (If you don’t have the seal or stamp on your forehead that you are of genuine character and your robe is white, then these locusts are going to be a plague to you). And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. (Rev 9:1-6 KJV)

The people are miserable but somehow they are not able to die or commit suicide, I’m not sure why that is, it’s an interesting statement.

Sealed by YHWH

A contrasting scripture using the same word seal, or signet, or stamp of genuineness in Revelation chapter 7.

And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal ^G4973=same of the living Elohim: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed ^{G4972=from G4973=to stamp with private mark for security or preservation}the servants of our Elohim in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed ^G4972=samean hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. (Rev 7:2-4 KJV)

Not very many are sealed. Now the first woe occurs.

Revelation
7 Angels and 7 Trumpets
Trumpet 5, 1^st Woe – Locust Attributes

And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle ^(warfare); and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold ^{(conquerors and rulers)}, and their faces were as the faces of men ^{(intelligent creatures, AI humanoids)}. (Rev 9:7 KJV)

This is a pretty interesting scripture. I would view “a horse prepared unto battle” as a war machine, this is a military statement. “Crowns like gold” represent rulers and conquerors. “And their faces were like the faces men”, I would submit that with the advancement of AI that these are intelligent creatures or humanoids with artificial intelligence and maybe some crossbreed cyborg, I’m not sure.

All of the technology is here today and on the horizon with drones and cyborgs and the kind of machines that man will make to fight each other. Of note, in the Book of Joel there is a section about the four locusts when one eats the next and another eats what is left and what that all represents.

And they had hair as the hair of women ^{(attractive to look at)}, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions ^{(forceful and strong)} . And they had breastplates ^(tough), as it were breastplates of iron ^{(impenetrable, bulletproof &difficult to destroy)}; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle ^{(formidable, intimidating and apocalyptic)}. (Rev 9:8-9 KJV)

This is an apocalypse in grand order that is developing and being described by John. The sound of the wings is something like the helicopters that fly around. Even one or two of them always seem to have a formidable, chopping, kind of sound and when you hear one you go out to see where it is and where it’s going, let alone if there are hundreds or thousands of these kind of machines. That is what is being described here as the fifth trumpet.

And they had tails like unto scorpions, (more about their armor) and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt ^{G91=to be unjust, do wrong (ruthless)}men five months ^{(able to torture and persecute)}. And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon ^{G3=from H11=destroying angel}, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon ^{G623=destroyer}. (Rev 9:10-11 KJV)

The word “hurt” means to be ruthless and do wrong, to be unjust so these are killing machines for no good purpose and they were to be able to do this five months.

One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
(Rev 9:12 KJV)

Revelation
7 Angels and 7 Trumpets
Trumpet 6, 2^nd Woe (3^rd part of men killed)

And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before YHWH, Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand ^{(200,000,000)}: and I heard the number of them ^{(possibly the locust like unto horses in 5th trumpet-now unleashed)}. And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire^{G4447=flaming (red-orange)}, and of jacinth ^{G5191=hyacinthine (deep blue)}, and brimstone ^{G2306=sulfur (fright yellow)}: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. And the rest ^{some repented} of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries ^{G5331=farmakiah=medication, magic, witchcraft}, nor of their fornication ^{G4202=porniah=harlotry, idolatry}, nor of their thefts. (Rev 9:13-21 KJV)

I wonder about the four angels and there are four time periods so I’m not sure, but are all four angels going to have all four time periods or is one going to have an hour and another a day, another a month and the other a year? But they are to slay a third part of men so notice now that the character of the machines is changing. The war machines now are killing, yes, they have been killing off and on all along, but until now the oppression has been largely to the environment. Now we are seeing that these drones are artificial intelligent machines are going to start slaying men. In other words they are going to be re-programmed to do more that they originally did.

When you put two hundred thousand thousand together is two hundred million. That’s a big number. When John said he “saw the horses in a vision”, this could possibly be the locusts that are like unto horses in the 5^th trumpet that are now unleashed. It doesn’t describe what the horses are here if they are something different, but it’s probable that these locusts and the horses are one in the same.

$D:\Documents\Spiritual\HolyDaysFall\PowerPoint Presentations\TrumpetsPt2V3forWord\Slide6 Copy.jpg$

Then it starts to describe what they look like with breastplates of fire which represents a flame, of red and orange. Jacinth represents hyacinthine which is a deep blue and brimstone being a bright yellow. I have wondered if that might be part of an insignia or an icon representation of this beast power and the army. Will this be something to do with a flag? I don’t know.

After the plagues most people are not repenting nor are they repenting of their murders or of their farmakiah, which is an interesting word for medication, magic and witchcraft. They aren’t repenting of their physical and spiritual idolatry and harlotry.

And that gets us to the 7^th trumpet or the third woe.

Revelation
7 Angels and 7 Trumpets
7^th Trumpet, 3^rd Woe (Revolution in Heaven – Satan’s ouster)

The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great ^mega voices ^phone in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world ^{G2889=orderly arrangement including the inhabitants (complete harmonious system)}are become the kingdoms of our Sovereign, and of his Messiah; and he shall reign for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders, which sat before YHWH on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped YHWH, Saying, We give thee thanks, O YHWH Elohim Omnipotent, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy ^{G1311=to rot thoroughly, to ruin, corrupt (morally)} them which destroy the earth. And the temple of YHWH was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
(Rev 11:14-19 KJV)

The kingdoms of this world mean the orderly arrangement including the inhabitants. It’s intended to be a complete harmonious system but it has degenerated to chaos. But now the Messiah is going to return and he will reign forever.

Back up to where it says, “the time of the dead that they should be judged and that you should give reward unto your servants the prophets”, this is talking about the resurrection. We will see this in 1 Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians 15.

There is a lot more to be said about that. “and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great“, is a reference to what is about to happen and remember this is the 7^th trumpet. When you look into the 7^th trump this is when the 7^th trump blows and there is a resurrection. It also includes the ouster of Satan.

The accuser is cast down to the earth. It’s as if the earth dwellers want him, so they get him full time.

3^rd woe – The accuser cast to the earth (you wanted him, you live with him)

And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our Elohim and the power of his Messiah: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our Elohim day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 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. (Rev 12:10-12 KJV).

The seven last trumpets also open up the seven last plagues.

Revelation
7 Last Plagues

And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of YHWH, who liveth for ever and ever. And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of YHWH, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. (Rev 15:7-8 KJV)

“No man is able to enter” would say to me that when the smoke clears, man will able to enter. That will be the resurrected saints.

1. And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image ^{G1504=ikone=likeness, statue, representation.} (Rev 16:2 KJV)

This word image is useful because it means in the Greek “ikone”, or in the English “icon”, it’s a likeness, a statue or a representation. Everyone that uses a computer knows that there are icons that launch programs. That icon is a representation of what the program provides and what it represents. Here, there is going to be an image that is going to be an icon, and we are probably going to see it all over the earth. One icon image of the substitute Messiah, the false Messiah, the anti-Messiah, depending on what you want to call him, it’s all the same. The beast power will have this icon.

2. And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

3. And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

4. And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

5. And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

6. And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

7. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great ^mega voice ^phone out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
(Rev 16:2-17 KJV)

It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the spirit. (Joh 19:30 KJV)

It is the same terminology that Yahushua used as we see in John 19. It is a slightly different Greek translation but similar in meaning. It’s finished, it’s done.

What we have is the wrath of YHWH being poured out on the earth, sea, rivers, sun, the seat of the beast, the great river Euphrates, and into the air. What’s left? The earth is going to be a mess. The Euphrates that is dried up is interesting to contemplate because how is it that the Euphrates dries up? You would think it would be pretty hard, it says “and the water was dried up that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared”.

It sounds like there is going to be a massive army, I suspect it might be this two hundred million drone army that we just talked, about coming from the east and they will need a way to cross over the Euphrates. Of course there are bridges but it says that the river will be dried up. Has it ever been dried up before? Turns out, it has. In Daniel chapter 5:30-31 we see the scripture about this. It doesn’t say in Daniel 5 that it was dried up but the other secular historical accounts show that it was.

In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old. ^{(62 years old)} (Dan 5:30-31 KJV)

Herodotus
Babylonian Chronicles
Cyrus Cylinder

You see collaborative accounts listed above that say this was the result of the Euphrates being stopped up by Cyrus’ army in 539 BCE. General Darius led the command into Babylon at that time and ended up killing Belshazzar. Of course Daniel was there to talk about this.

This event actually happened before and the river was actually diverted by Cyrus. The river was diverted into a canal so that the level of the river going through Babylon got so low that the soldiers in what would probably been under Darius’ command were able to walk through the water and get into the city. The seven last plagues are an extension of the seven trumpets.

Joshua 6 – “It came to pass”
On Atonement?

We are still on the first page in Joshua, but we are going to a couple of different items, so we should have a good foundation of all of the parallel events that I will be referring to as we go through this account in Joshua. We want to look at some other aspects of it as we go. The third item that we want to highlight is that the Yobel is mentioned.

Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. And YHWH said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. And ye shall compass ^{H5437=revolve} the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets ^{H7782=shofar, curved horn} of rams’ horns ^{H3104=yobel, blast of a horn – continuous}: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets ^H7782=same. And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn ^{H3104=yobel, blast of a horn}, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet ^{H7782=ram’s horn}, all the people shall shout ^{H7321=rua, split the ears with sound} with a great shout ^{H864=teruah=clangor of trumpets, acclimation of joy}; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
(Jos 6:1-5 KJV)

Where it says:

And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn ^{H3104=yobel, blast of a horn}, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet ^{H7782=ram’s horn}, all the people shall shout ^{H7321=rua, split the ears with sound} with a great shout ^{H864=teruah=clangor of trumpets, acclimation of joy}.

We see reference to this and what I have been talking about in Revelation which is “mega fonay”, and we just read this in Revelation 11. The seventh angel sounded and I made a point of saying that there were mega phones or mega phone. Mega means exceedingly big, loud and strong. The word “voices” is the Greek word for phone or” fonay”. It means to give a disclosure and a disclosure is being given here by this loud or great sound, it’s giving an address. It could be somebody speaking loudly. We see this terminology “mega fonay” in quite a number of places and over half are in Revelation.

And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great ^{G3173=mega=exceedingly, big, loud, strong} voices ^{G5456=phone=disclosure, giving an address} in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of YHWH, and of his Messiah; and he shall reign for ever and ever. (Rev 11:15 KJV)

24 of 46 occurrences in Revelation

The first place we see it in the New Testament is in Matthew 24.

And he shall send his angels ^{Yahushua speaking}with a great ^G3173=same sound ^G5456=same of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Mat 24:31-32 KJV)

1^st occurrence

I would submit that the yobel in this “great sound” is the “mega phone” or “mega fonay” are one in the same. You see also this terminology, “loud voice” or “mega phone” used by Yahushua 5 different times in this theme when Yahushua was crucified and hanging on the post.

And Yahushua cried with a loud ^G3173=same voice ^G5456=same, and gave up the ghost.
(Mar 15:37 KJV)

5 occurrences

The yobel starts to have extension into the New Testament particularly in the Book of Revelation.

We see the item number four at the end of Joshua 6, “and the wall of the city shall fall down flat”. We see that in Revelation 18.

And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong ^G3173=same voice ^G5456=same (mega phone), saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. (Rev 18:1-2 KJV)

Revelation 18 says “Babylon the great is fallen”, and it says it twice. If it’s fallen once, it must be pretty flat if it has fallen the second time and is become the habitation of devils. I hope you are starting to see where we are heading with this. The parallels are stunning. One question that I personally have about this is what time of the year this is. We certainly start to see here that Jericho is a shadow, foreshadow or forerunner of the events in Revelation, particularly the seals, trumpets and seven plagues.

When did Joshua 6 in this section of scripture actually occur? You know from Joshua chapter 5 that the Passover occurred and when we read on after the Passover we assume that Joshua 6 happened immediately the Passover. We seem to put in our mind’s eye; at least I have in the past, that this is a springtime event with the fall of Jericho. I would submit that perhaps it is not, that there were some months that went by with the Israelites camped outside the gates. Remember what the Amorites said, they closed up their gates and were ready for a long siege.

I have noted that “it came to pass” is terminology that is used. We are going to see it came to pass several times and each time it occurs more time has to be taken place. When something comes to pass it doesn’t necessarily come to pass on the next day, it could come to pass on the next month or three or six months down the road. Keep an eye on ‘it shall come to pass’ as we go forward.

I would suggest that because the yobel is mentioned, we might have an Atonement, or Memorial of Trumpets. Ten days later on Atonement the yobel is blown. I wonder if this series of events in Jericho took place in the fall rather than in the spring.

Going on in the account in Joshua:

And Joshua ^{H3091=Yehovah saved, Yehoshua} the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets ^H7782=shofar of rams’ horns ^{H3104=yobel, blast of a horn} before the ark of YHWH. And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of YHWH. And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets ^H7782=shofar of rams’ horns ^H3104=yobel passed on before YHWH, and blew with the trumpets ^H7782=shofar: and the ark of the covenant ^{H1285=bereth=compact by passing between pieces of flesh}of YHWH followed them. (Jos 6:6-8 KJV)

When unwinding this several years ago I discovered that Joshua has the same name as Jesus. When it started to occur to me that nobody would have known Jesus in the first century by that name. His name wasn’t Greek. Jesus’ name was Hebrew name. We see this in Matthew chapter 1.

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of YHWH appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus ^{G2424=iesous, of Hebrew origin H3091. Jehoshua (YHWH’s salvation):} for he shall save his people from their sins. (Mat 1:19-21 KJV)

Joshua = Yahushua
cf. Matthew 1:19-21
Joshua and Jesus = Jehoshua (Yahushua)

Because Joseph knew it wasn’t his child, and he thought it might have been somebody else’s, well it was, it was of the Spirit. We see in the English translation, “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus”. So that’s what we see in the English translation “for he shall save his people from their sins”. Now do you think the angel was talking in Joseph in English or Greek? I doubt it. I think he was talking to Joseph in Hebrew.

His name wasn’t “Jesus”, nor was it “Isous”, it was Yahushua or Yahoshua, and we see that when you simply look in Strong’s. It’s an easy discovery and you find out that Jesus’ name is of Hebrew origin which is H3091. When you look, what you find is the same Hebrew name that Joshua is translated from. It’s interesting to note that Joshua or Yahushua has a much closer translation to his real name than Jesus does. Mainstream Christianity ignores it because they don’t think it’s important. Everything is important in these scriptures and names do matter.

Yahushua is the man here in Jericho. Yahushua is the man from Nazareth who became the Messiah, who was the Messiah who gave his life for us. His name means something, it means YHWH saves, or Yahovah saves.

It’s amazing to understand this because salvation has, at its root, Yeshua. It’s about the same name that our Savior has. That has struck me since I discovered it a number of years ago.

Ark of Covenant
Centerpiece of Joshua’s victory over Jericho
Centerpiece of Yahushua’s victory over Babylon
cf. Revelation 11:19

Also, note in this section of scripture that the Ark of the Covenant comes into mind. It passed before YHWH, they blew the trumpets and the Ark of the Covenant followed. The Ark of the Covenant had the Ten Commandments inside. I think that’s all it had; it didn’t have the rest of the Law of Moses that was given just before this event.

The children of Israel were camped on the east side of the Jordan at Moab and the law as we would know it in Deuteronomy was given at that time. The covenant that they took with them was from that law that they took into the Promised Land. The Ark of the Covenant has the Commandments in it. We see in Revelation a similar statement:

And the temple of YHWH was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament ^{G1242=diatheke=disposition, devisory will}: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.(Rev 11:19 KJV)

“The Ark of His Testament” in the Greek is “diatheke” and it means a disposition or a divisor will. Of note, when you see this, the Ark of the Covenant in Hebrew is a compact by passing between pieces of flesh. In other words, this was somewhat a covenant of blood and when it’s a “bereth” because animals died, and people committed to the compact or Covenant.

What is the New Covenant? It is “diatheke” and it’s a devisor will which has at its core a testator. The testator is the one that has to die and give his blood before the will is in effect. It’s amazing to see this reference to the Ark of the Covenant “bereth” versus the Ark of the Covenant “diatheke” and that this all points to Yahushua.

Yahushua is the one that gave his life for us; it’s the centerpiece of Joshua’s victory over Jericho, and the centerpiece of Yahushua’s victory over Babylon.

Memorial of Trumpets
Jericho, Yahushua and Seven Trumpets
Fall of Jericho

Do not make any noise
cf. half hour silence

And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward ^{H622=to gather (rear guard}⁾came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets. And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout. So the ark of YHWH compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of YHWH. And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns ^{H3104=yobel, blast of a horn} before the ark of YHWH went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward ^{H622= same} came after the ark of YHWH, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets. (Jos 6:9-13 KJV)

Can you imagine this scene? This location at Jericho was closed up, all of the inhabitants looking down from the 30 to 40 ft. high wall of this event that the Israelites carrying this box on poles. There were probably four guys, one guy carrying each corner of this box called the Ark with the Testament of YHWH inside.

The inhabitants were looking down and seeing this happen, and the Israelites weren’t saying anything the first six days, and they were probably standing up there jeering at them and making fun of them for how stupid they looked. The Israelites probably had their white gowns on also, and on top of that there are guys that blow a trumpet once each day. On the seventh day they will blow it seven times.

Notice how this goes, the first comment that we have is not to shout or make any noise. In Revelation we see:

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. (No noise) And I saw the seven angels which stood before YHWH; and to them were given seven trumpets. (Rev 8:1-2 KJV)

Also notice what is said in 1 Thessalonians:

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of YHWH so cometh as a thief in the night. (The thief comes silent) For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. (1Th 5:2-3 KJV)

The Jubilee is mentioned in several places and actually this is the fifth occurrence of “yobel” in this account in Joshua.

Jubilee – H3104
5^th occurrence
Set the land free and restore it to its rightful owners – Abraham, Isaac, Jacob
27 matches:
Exodus – 1 time
Leviticus – 20 times
Numbers 1 time
Joshua – 5 times

The Jubilee is about restoring the land to its original owners and forgiving debt. It’s a master re-set and the original owners of the land in this case is Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Canaanites, Amorites, Amalekites and the other non-Israelite tribes had taken over this land and it’s being restored to its original owner.

The word “yobel” is found in the whole chapter of Leviticus 25 that gives instruction and also in Leviticus 27 there is additional instruction is given.

And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet ^H7782=shofar of the jubile ^{H8643=teruah=clangor of trumpets, loud noise, shout} to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet ^H7782=shofar sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty ^{H1865=freedom, clear, pure}throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile^{H3104=yobel=continuous blast of a horn and the festival introduced}unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. A jubile ^H3104=same shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed. For it is the jubile ^H3104=same; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession. (Lev 25:8-13 KJV)

This is not quite an accurate translation in the Authorized Version because “trumpet of the jubile” should really be “trumpet of the trumpets” or the “trumpets of the shouting” to sound on the tenth day of the month. It’s a minor point, the context is okay, but know that it’s there.

Notice that it happens on the seventh month in the Day of Atonement which is on the tenth day of the seventh month.

I believe that the Yobel is coming up in another eight years and that we are entering into a Sabbatical on the Day of Atonement of this year. This would be the sixth of the seven year cycle. The seventh will come up again in seven years then the Jubilee will follow. When we get into the late 2020’s it would appear that a Yobel would be coming according to the work that we have done.

The Yobel is significant and still in effect. Notice that it’s the fiftieth year, not the forty ninth. It’s easy to see that it can’t be the first year of the next forty nine year cycle because it says that you don’t reap or sow. The first year of the next cycle is the first part of six years of sowing and reaping. If you look at this account, you sow and reap for six years, and then you have a Sabbatical. The first cycle of that would be disrupted if you made the Jubilee the first year of that next cycle because you would only have five years of sowing and reaping instead of six.

I think it’s flawed to say that the Jubilee Fiftieth Year is actually intercalated with the first year of the next cycle. I don’t believe that would be a good exegesis of this scripture.

The word “yobel” is found twenty seven times in the Tanakh. Of interest, the first time that you see it is at the account in Exodus chapter 19 and 20 during the giving of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai which was probably a Shavuot or Pentecost event. Most of the occurrences though are in the Book of Leviticus as instruction. Incidentally, you have no indication of Yobel being kept that we can find in the scriptures. You don’t see in Nehemiah or Ezra that they kept a Yobel or Jubilee year. You find evidence that they kept Sabbatical years but not the Yobel. This is the only account in Joshua that uses this terminology “Yobel” so I would think that this is also telling us that since it’s using this terminology five times that this is in fact a Yobel. Plus, it’s a reset for the land, a start of the Israelites occupying the Promised Land which was given to Abraham Isaac and Jacob.

And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times. And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets ^H7782=shofar, Joshua said unto the people, Shout ^{H7321=rua=split the ears, sound alarm}; for YHWH hath given you the city (past tense, a done deal). And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to YHWH: only ¹Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. (Jos 6:14-17 KJV)

Rahab – symbolic events
Salvation from the scarlet rope

When you see the terminology “And it came to pass”, time goes by. And there are several events that we will take a look at regarding Rahab and the two spies that were saved by this scarlet rope as we see in Joshua:

Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet ^{H8144=crimson (blood red)} thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household, home unto thee. (Jos 2:18 KJV)

These are the instructions that Rahab is getting before this siege of Jericho, and as a reminder of what it’s all about. Rahab is one of five women mentioned in the scripture in the genealogy of Yahushua. The first one you see in Matthew 5 is Tamar with Judah, and the lineage goes on to Yahushua through Mary.

Rahab and two spies saved by scarlet rope – lifeline
Genealogy of Yahushua – And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; And Jesse begat David the king;
(Mat 1:5-6 KJV)
Israelites saved
Gentiles saved
Introduces the blood of Messiah
Saved by grace
Establishes pattern for return of Yahushua

Salmon and Rahab were husband and wife and it would appear that this is the same Rahab that we are talking about in Joshua 6, although there is controversy about that because if you put a timeline together, Rahab would have to be sixty or seventy years old when Boaz was born. Does that mean it didn’t happen? Well, not necessarily at all, but the study that I have done this shows me that this is the same Rahab that came from this account at Jericho.

The Israelites are saved as a result of this crimson blood red rope and Gentiles are now saved by it also. We have both sides of the equation pointing forward to Yahushua and it also introduces the blood of Yahushua because we are saved by his grace as Rahab was saved by the grace and the gift of being saved out of this siege.

It also establishes a pattern for the future because it all points to Yahushua.

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood (crimson red): and his name is called The Word of YHWH. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty YHWH. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King of Kings and Master of Masters.
(Rev 19:13-16 KJV)

You might see why the winepress and grapes are important. We press our grapes and make it into wine and grape juice ourselves. Here the metaphor is used of a wine press and the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty YHWH. Here is the connection to the theme of this presentation.

The crimson red rope that was used in Joshua has legs to it that we can examine even further.

And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing ^{H2764=that which should have been utterly destroyed}, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing ^H2764=same, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated ^H6944=sacred unto YHWH: they shall come into the treasury of YHWH. So the people shouted ^{H7321=rua=split the ears, sound alarm} when the priests blew with the trumpets ^H7782=shofar: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up ^H5927=ascend into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. (Jos 6:18-20 KJV)

The accursed thing
Achan ^{H5982=trouble}coveted Babylon garment, 17 oz. gold and 77 oz. silver Jos.7:21
cf. come out of her (Babylon)
Rev 18:3-5
Silver, gold, brass and iron are consecrated (set aside)
Daniel 2 all kingdoms of the Earth into YHWH’s treasury
Gold and silver belong to YHWH
People ascend straight ahead
cf. 1 Thessalonians 4:16
1^st resurrection

The first set of events is talking about the accursed thing that has to do with Achan. I don’t know how this comes about but Achan in Hebrew means trouble. Achan coveted this Babylonian garment, and it uses the term “Babylonian garment”. It could have been a garment from Persia or Tyre or Sidon or some other place but no, it’s a Babylonian garment. That is pretty striking all by itself. He also took gold and silver which amounted to about 17 ounces of gold and 77 ounces of silver – give or take if you convert the shekels into grams and ounces. He got 25 or 30 thousand dollars’ worth of precious metals along with this Babylonian garment. It would compare with what goes on in Revelation to come out of her. Achan should have never done this, it cost him his life of course.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication ^pornia, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication^{pornia spiritual and physical idolatry} with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies ^G4764=luxury. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and YHWH hath remembered her iniquities.
(Rev 18:3-5 KJV)

The “accursed thing” here are the items that have to do with luxury in Revelation and they have to do with coveting in this account in Joshua chapter 6. It’s a Babylonian garment, and if you look up the Hebrew it means from Shinar. If we have Babylonian luxury items in our possession we should need to get rid of them if we do.

The second item of silver, gold, brass and iron are holy. YHWH says they are holy unto him. When you look into silver, gold, brass and iron you find some interesting comparisons to them in the Book of Daniel chapter 2.

Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible^awesome. This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver ^Persians, his belly and his thighs of brass ^Greeks, His legs of iron ^Romans, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors^{it just blew away}; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the Elohim of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee ^{the silver kingdom – Persians}and another third kingdom of brass ^Greeks, which shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron ^Romans: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. (Dan 2:31-40 KJV)

Gold, silver, brass and iron represent kingdoms here. YHWH says they are consecrated to him. The kingdoms are His. It’s not the leadership itself. It’s like the leadership of the United States. Is the leadership consecrated? Well the leadership certainly is not. The European countries aren’t consecrated but these countries are representative of everything that YHWH owns. They are consecrated to him as wholly as his possession. He owns the heaven and the earth.

Daniel 2 talks about all the kingdoms of the earth and it goes into YHWH’s treasury. In Haggai we see a comparison to this line of thinking, this metaphor or analogy if you will.

And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith YHWH of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith YHWH of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith YHWH of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith YHWH of hosts.
(Hag 2:7-9 KJV)

Haggai is a post exile prophet so he was fundamentally contemporary with the exile during the time of Zerubbabel and of course, the writing of Ezra and Nehemiah. Haggai is prophesying about a future time and not about the time that they were then. They were developing a Temple then, he said he would fill this house with glory and the glory of this latter house is going to be greater than the former. This didn’t happen during Ezra and Nehemiah, the glory of that house was lesser by significant amount is what the account shows us. This is forward looking when the silver and the gold, talking about the world’s powers are going to be YHWH’s and go into his treasury.

Going back to Joshua 6 it says: “they shall come into the treasury of YHWH”, speaking of the gold, silver, brass and iron.

The third item that is highlighted in Joshua 6 is: ^“the people went up ^H5927=ascend into the city, every man straight before him”. We see that in Revelation in the seventh trump that there is a resurrection but 1 Thessalonians 4 specifically says:

For this we say unto you by the word of the Master, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Master shall not prevent them (or precede) which are asleep. For the Master himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice ^G5656=phone of the archangel, and with the trump of YHWH (Is this comparable language to a Yobel or to these shouts you see in the Book of Joshua?) and the dead in Messiah shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up^{G726=harpadzo=seize, catch, pluck, take by force}together with them in the clouds, to meet the Master in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Master. (1Th 4:15-17 KJV)

When I look up in the clouds I see we are going to go straight up into those clouds just like the Israelites went straight up as the walls fell down in Jericho. This is the first resurrection. Going on in Joshua 6:21:

And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out ^{H7270=to walk along, reconnoiter (inspect for military purpose)} the country, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her. (The fulfillment of the scarlet red rope) And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab ^{H7343=proud, broad, large}, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel. And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of YHWH. (Jos 6:21-24 KJV)

I’m not suggesting Rahab was fat, she probably had a big personality, when she and her family were brought out they were left outside the camp because they were Gentiles.

Two spies
cf. 2 witnesses
Revelation 11:3-6
Burn the city with fire
cf. destruction of Babylon the great
Revelation 18:6-8
Silver, gold, brass and Iron put in the treasury
cf. Seventh trump announces the return of Messiah
Revelation 11:15

Two men that had spied out the country

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. (Notice they don’t have Babylonian garments, they are clothed in sackcloth) These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before YHWH of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. (Rev 11:3-6 KJV)

These are two powerful people, in the end they will be assonated by the beast system but they are going to be resurrected three and a half days later is what the scriptures tell us.

The two spies in Joshua look to be parallel to the two witnesses.

Burn the city with fire it says in Joshua.

Is the destruction in Babylon the great how that is going to happen?

Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is YHWH Elohim who judgeth her. (Rev 18:6-8 KJV)

“for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.” Is somewhat of a puzzling set of statements, I would guess she is talking about being a queen and has no need of anything and she is not a widow.

This might be referring to the desolation of the land of Israel in Jerusalem as we know it today. They are going to be thought of as widowed because there is a lot of war activity going wrong and she’s not going to see any sorrow, she says. Well, she’s in for a surprise.

The silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of YHWH. Jos 6: 24

And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices ^{mega phones}in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms (We saw this in Daniel, gold, silver, brass and iron) of our Elohim, and of his Messiah; and he shall reign for ever and ever. (Rev 11:15 KJV)

Now we will jump ahead a couple of chapters to the Amorites. There is interesting material in chapters 7 – 9, but in chapter 10 we jump ahead and meet a guy named Adonizedek.

Memorial of Trumpets
Jericho, Yahushua and Seven Trumpets
Amorites Defeated

Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek ^{H139=lord of justice} king of Jerusalem (of all places) had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them; That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty. Wherefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying, Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel. (Jos 10:1-4 KJV)

We see in chapters 8 and 9 of Joshua, what happened with the Gibeonites who came with a ruse wanting to make peace and make a covenant with the Israelites. If you read the account you see that they came with tattered shoes and old worn out wineskins and moldy bread. They wanted to create the illusion that they were from a long way away and they came to make peace.

Well, Joshua figured it out but the Israelites had already made a covenant with them so Joshua is going to honor this covenant that he made with the inhabitants of Gibeon.

Adonizedek – lord of justice (from H139) – 2 references
H139= H113 + H664
H113=adoni=to rule, sovereign, controller
H664=tsedek=to be right naturally, morally, legally
2^nd king – Jerusalem
cf. anti-Messiah
Melchizedek – King of Righteousness (from H4442)
H4442=H4428 + H664
H4428=memek=a king, royalty
H6664=tsedek=to be right naturally, morally, legally
1^st and last King and Priest – Jerusalem

This character Adonizedek is referenced in two places by name and three or four places total by association. Adonizedek consists of a pair of Hebrew words and we see he is a lord of justice. This is in contrast to Melchizedek. Looking at the anti-Messiah as he is called, or the counterfeit, or substitute Messiah is seen in Revelation 19:

And I saw the beast, (Which is led by the counter-Messiah) and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. (Rev 19:19 KJV)

This is the same set of events. Here is Adonizedek wanting to make war, and here is the beast that wants to make war against the Israelites.

In contrast, here is Melchizedek that means the king of righteousness. It’s made up of two words, the second word, “tsedek” being the same, to be right morally, legally and naturally.

The first word of “Melek” means a king or a royalty, not a lord or master or a ruler. It’s a significant difference and it’s interesting that this character Adonizedek is the governor of Jerusalem. Of course he’s not the first governor, Melchizedek was the first, and you see that the first King and Priest of Jerusalem in Genesis chapter 14.

By comparison we have a first and a last King and Priest and it is significant to note that Melchizedek is a King and Priest, not just a King. Matthew 5 shows us his Kingship, and it was Yahushua speaking.

But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is YHWH’s throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. (Mat 5:34-35 KJV)

In Hebrews chapter 7 we see a number of references to Melchizedek.

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem (or Jerusalem), priest of the most high Elohim, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
(Heb 7:1 KJV)

We see the difference and the distinction that one is a usurper, and it is noteworthy to see this in this account starting in Joshua 10 that there would be a ruler in the future, a substitute Messiah that will be acting with the same type of attitude, going on:

Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it. And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua ^{H3091=Yahushua} to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: (we have a covenant) for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us. So Joshua ^{H3091=Yahushua}ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour. And YHWH said unto Joshua ^{H3091=Yahushua}, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; (here it is again a verb tense, it’s a done deal) there shall not a man of them stand before thee. Joshua ^{H3091=Yahushua}therefore came unto them suddenly, (by surprise) and went up from Gilgal all night. (traveling all night) (Jos 10:5-9 KJV)

Not a man left standing
cf. Yahushua devours them with the sword from His mouth
Revelation 19:20-21

Yahushua is going to devour the world’s governments and governors when he returns with the sword from His mouth.

And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought (made) miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. (Rev 19:20-21 KJV)

Can you mentally find an image for that? The sword that proceeds out of His mouth?

Surprise attack by Joshua
cf. Yahushua returns as a thief in the night
Revelation 16:15

Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great ^megavoice ^phoneout of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. (Rev 16:15-17 KJV)

Yahushua speaking in the 1^st person

Notice that it’s Yahushua speaking in the first person here in Revelation 16. I come as a thief, Yahushua speaking as John is writing it down.

So the Amorites are defeated in this account.

And YHWH discomfited ^{confused or troubled} them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah. And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that YHWH cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword. Then spake Joshua ^{H3091=Yahushua} to YHWH in the day when YHWH delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.(Joshua is telling the sun and the moon to stand still and he spoke to YHWH) And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. (A miracle, an astronomical sign) Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for YHWH fought for Israel.
(Jos 10:10-14 KJV)

Great slaughter at Gibeon
cf. Valley of Megiddo
Revelation 16:16

This great slaughter is the first item on this page. we see that great slaughter in the Valley of Megiddo in Revelation.

Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. (Rev 9:14-16 KJV)

How do you hear the number of them? I guess he saw it in vision and he could hear what they were doing, he could hear them moving. So the wrath of man is destroying a third part of man.

And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of YHWH. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs. (Rev 14:19-20 KJV)

This is a long stream of blood, the wrath of YHWH causing this great slaughter. Also what is mentioned here is the great hailstones come upon Adonizadek and his armies.

Great hailstones from heaven
Revelation 16:21

And there were voices ^phone, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. (It’s going to be big, nothing like it) And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before YHWH, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed YHWH because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. (Rev 16:18-21 KJV)

When you research what a talent is, you find that it is something between 75 and 90 pounds. In any case, there will be big hailstones coming down causing massive destruction.

Sun and moon are going to stand still

It definitely has some calendar implications, at least in my study of this, but we will just talk about the broad view.

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. (Rev 6:12-13 KJV)

You will remember this when we were reading through the seals part of the early dialogue of this presentation. The sun becomes black a sackcloth of hair and the moon became as blood. They aren’t standing still but comparatively they are massive phenomena and signs that are happening in the heavens. Revelation 8 has a little different view of this.

And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten ^{G4141=flattening out, pound, inflict calamity}, and the third part of the moon ^{I would say pounded also}, and the third part of the stars ^{they would be pounded as well}; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. (Rev 8:12 KJV)

This is massive astronomical upheaval happening during this time of tribulation. There are implications to the calendar about this event when the sun and moon stood still. I want to take just a couple of minutes to whet your appetite about this.

Going back to the Qumran Calendar which was probably the early centuries BCE when this was being talked about, it was a calendar that seemed to be in effect 364 days. That is in contrast to today as we have a 365 day calendar. Actually, it is 365.2425, which is basically 365 ¼ days.

$D:\Documents\Spiritual\HolyDaysFall\PowerPoint Presentations\TrumpetsPt2V3forWord\Slide4 Copy.jpg$

This Qumran Calendar is divided into a very logical predictable day, month, year and it is divided into the first month always starting on a Wednesday on the first Wednesday after the vernal equinox. The first month is a 30 day month; the second month is a 30 day month, and the third month which follows is a 31 day month. Every day of the week and each month and each day always line up every year.

These 30 plus 30 plus 31 total 91 days for a quarter are repeated times four quarters to get 364 days. That’s how this calendar works, it’s exactly 52 weeks. It’s not known or seen that they intercalate days, weeks or months on this calendar. It is thought that this calendar was during a period of time that there was exactly 364 days. I don’t want to go too much further into it other than to say that there is evidence of other calendars.

There is also evidence of a Noahic calendar. If you research Genesis chapter 7 and 8, you will find that the flood started on the 17^th of the 2^nd month and ended on the 17^th of the 7^th month which is a total of 5 months and the account says it was 150 days. That would divide out to be 30 day months, 5 months running if you were to extrapolate that out that would be a 360 day year. There are different calendars that show us that maybe very early on there was a 360 day year in the time of Noah.

Sometime later there was a 364 day year and sometime later than that obviously we now have 365.2425 day year. What happened? Well a couple of events happened, Joshua being one of the major ones that showed us that the sun stood still and the moon stood still. The other event is when Hezekiah’s sundial was turned back. These events could well have affected the calendar, and maybe they didn’t. Maybe the calendar wasn’t affected by them at all because YHWH can create these kinds of situations and doesn’t need our logic or calendar methodology to have things change.

It’s of interest just to note that also somewhat of interest is that this account is written in the Book of Jasher. The question about the sun and moon is asked in Joshua, “Is not this written in the book of Jasher?”, if you cared to look it up you would find it’s in Jasher 88:63-65. You will see that the sun is mentioned as being held for 36 moments, but you don’t know how long a moment is. You also see that the moon is held all day. It is a little different account in terms of the timing of it but it may be of interest if this sort of thing in calendar peaks your curiosity.

And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal. But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah. And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah. And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them: And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for YHWH your Elohim hath delivered them into your hand. And it came to pass, when Joshua ^Yahushuaand the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities. (Jos 10:15-20 KJV)

We see that same phraseology of kings hiding in caves in the events during the period in Revelation.

Kings hid in a cave
“hid themselves in a cave”
cf. Great men hide in caves in Revelation 6:15

And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 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;
(Rev 6:14-15 KJV)

Another parallel event from Joshua to Revelation and next it says the stones cover the cave.

Great stones cover the cave
“Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave”
cf. Fall on us and hide us in Revelation 6:16

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? (Rev 6:16-17 KJV)

Great stones are going to cover them too, or they are going to want great stones to cover them.

YHWH delivered the Israelites from their enemy
“YHWH your Elohim hath delivered them into your hand”
cf. Believers are delivered from Satan Revelation 12:10-11

And I heard a loud ^megavoice ^phonesaying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our Elohim, and the power of his Messiah: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our Elohim day and night. And they overcame him ^{the accuser} by the ^{scarlet red} blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony ^{G3141=evidence given}; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
(Rev 12:10-11 KJV)

Summary: When we put this all together, what a set of similarities we find! Fundamentally this should be obvious that the first Joshua has the same name as Jesus and that same name is Yahushua and it means YHWH saves, YHWH provides salvation is the thought of this.

$D:\Documents\Spiritual\HolyDaysFall\PowerPoint Presentations\TrumpetsPt2V3forWord\TrumpetsPt2V3forWord\Slide4 Copy.jpg$

If we put this on a table format, we see a good summary.

$D:\Documents\Spiritual\HolyDaysFall\PowerPoint Presentations\TrumpetsPt2V3forWord\Slide3 Copy.jpg$

This is an amazing time to have an understanding to see what is unfolding here before our eyes.

Do Your Own Homework
Do the comparisons yourself.

Prove ^{G1381=test, discern, examine}all things; hold fast that which is good. (1Thess 5:21 KJV)

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched ^{G350=scrutinize, examine} the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. (Act 17:11 KJV)

For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Master; walk as children of light: for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth; proving ^{G1381=test, examine}what is acceptable ^{G2101=fully agreeable}, well pleasing unto the Master. (Eph 5:8-10 KJV)

Study to shew thyself approved unto YHWH, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing ^{G3718=make a straight cut} the word of truth. (2Tim 2:15 KJV)
