16 November 2022: We've seen the past, and we see the present and the Word of God instructs us about the future. And there is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9).
Israel has a new government and what has been done will be done there once again. America will also soon be getting a new government. Last night President Donald Trump announced his intent to become an American president once again. Only God knows, but by His will what has been done will be done again.
In searching His word recently a prophecy was found that Eschatology Today has not previously seen or been aware of. What has been seen and has been written about on this blog is the prophecy of the sun not giving its light in conjunction with the moon being blood red, that it has a one-time and one-time only 70th Week of Years fulfillment. This prophecy is found in Revelation 6:12 when the Lord Jesus Christ opens the Sixth Seal.
But there is another prophecy that involves both the sun and the moon. This prophecy comes from Isaiah 30. Taking the entire chapter in context, this prophecy also appears to be one for fulfillment in this current generation and when all Israel is saved (i.e. in the time of the 144,000). In Isaiah 30:26 it is written:
Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun,
And the light of the sun will be sevenfold,
As the light of seven days,
In the day that the Lord binds up the bruise of His people
And heals the stroke of their wound.
Picture that in your mind's eye. The earth's moon as bright as the sun, not just reflecting the sun's brightness, but being as bright as the sun and only a quarter of a million miles away. And the cause for this is that the sun will become seven times brighter than normal, as brightness equivalent to an entire week's worth of the sun's brightness.
Truly this is a prophetic sign and it appears at first reading to be one which occurs as part of the Lord's judgements during the Thlipsis. Perhaps Isaiah 30:26 is related to the Trumpet judgments of Revelation 8? And it must be noted that this prophecy is just the opposite of what Isaiah 13:10-13 tells us. So placing the prophetic fulfillment in an understandable last days timeline is a challenge; further study is needed for sure.
Until then we know that God controls all things, His will is being done, governments rise and fall as He determines, and we're headlong into the imminent Harpazo of the Bride of Christ with our eyes wide open, watching, praying and saying Marana'tha!
