• SMS:  Where we are as of 2012

  I was looking at my sidebar, and noticed that I haven’t written anything about the SMS in a long time, and probably should.  I also ended up doing a search on some things this week, and came across an board that bashed my SMS, saying that I change everything around regularly to fit my needs.  The truth of the matter is, I haven’t changed anything around at all.  Just because I don’t know the answers to all the questions doesn’t mean I’m pulling things out of scripture and pasting them in where it suits me.  The SMS – for the record – has stayed in the same order and has matched Revelations chronologically ever since 2007. 

  Now I’ll admit that I get over-zealous and want things to happen now (yesterday would be even better!), but that doesn’t mean anything except that I get disappointed when it doesn’t happen at the closest period of time that I happen to be in.  That’s just me.  But as for the SMS, from the beginning it was the theory that the seal judgments would begin with the start of the ENPI (European Neighborhood Policy Initiative) -  a seven year ‘covenant with many’ between the Revived Roman Empire (EU) and the Middle East (Israel signed the ENPI first).  After that ‘kick-off’, the seals would be opened as ‘beginnings’ of sorrows, not terribly noteworthy, but as things that would grow/snowball as time went on.  And these seals would open one every six months.

  Why?  Because Revelations uses the 3.5 year period repeatedly, and the ENPI + 6 seals fit into 3.5 years in exactly six month increments.  Again, it was just a theory when we started, but then I started watching it to see what would happen, and everything fit perfectly.  The first worldwide pandemic, for example, was March of 09 – smack in the middle of the ‘Seal 4/pandemic’ timeslot.  The economic upheaval began on October 10, 2008 – right within the ‘Seal 3/economic failure’ timeslot.  Russia reconstituted/re-started it’s arms race exactly fitting into the ‘Seal 2/war’ timeslot.  And so on.

  The problem came in when we left the seal judgments and went into Revelation chapter seven.  They weren’t seals, so did they fit the six month suggestion?  I tried to make them.  And screwed it up by my own devices and eagerness.  I do that – I’m kind of impatient (like that’s a secret!?)  Hey, at least I’ve been consistently honest about it.   And haven’t changed my stance… I still hold to the SMS, I believe everything I’ve said from the start about Solana, the ENPI, the seals and their fulfillments… it’s just that sometimes I can’t tell you what until it happens… cuz I don’t know the how or when to tip me off ahead of time.  I only get what He gives me, and honestly, it’s more than I’d know if I got nothing at all, so let’s not look a gift horse in the mouth, eh?

  So where does that put us at present?  Well… with three possible scenarios, as I’m a little befuddled at the moment.  Lemme make a chart to help you understand what I’m gonna be saying here, cuz you know how a picture’s worth a thousand words, right?
  
  

  	SCENARIO 1	SCENARIO 2	SCENARIO 3
  Jan/Jun 07	Trib begins (ENPI)	Trib begins (ENPI)	Trib begins (ENPI)
  Jul/Dec 07	Seal 1	Seal 1	Seal 1
  Jan/Jun 08	Seal 2	Seal 2	Seal 2
  Jul/Dec 08	Seal 3	Seal 3	Seal 3
  Jan/Jun, 09	Seal 4	Seal 4	Seal 4
  Jul/Dec 09	Seal 5	Seal 5	Seal 5
  Jan/Jun 10	Seal 6	Seal 6	Seal 6
  July 10	Mid-Trib	Mid-Trib	Mid-Trib
  Jul/Dec 10	Winds stopped	Winds stopped	Winds stopped
  Jan/Jun 11	Jews Sealed	Jews Sealed	Jews Sealed
  Jul/Dec 11	Winds released	Jews Sealed	Jews Sealed
  Jan/Jun 12	Rapture	Winds released	Rapture
  Jul/Dec 12	Wrath begins	Rapture	Winds? Wrath?

  So you can see that the January 2007 thru June 2011 are all the same.  It hasn’t doesn’t change in that time period.  I was totally good up until then.  We had seals in six-month increments, we had the winds stopped, and the Jews sealed with no problem.

  The problems began this past October.  October being the fall feasts, and what I considered the ‘most likely time for Rapture’.  I’m still not convinced that it wouldn’t be the best time for rapture… but since I don’t know for sure (and did I mention I’m desperate?)… I’m open to other times, too.  Any time, pretty much.  Today would be great.  Sorry – I digress.

  But “nothing” (ie., the rapture) happened.  But that’s not true.  “Nothing” doesn’t happen.  There’s always SOMETHING that happens.  I just wasn’t looking at the right things in my zeal to go poof.  So that means backing up and finding out what did happen.  And it’s one of two things.

  The first thing I thought was that – because it’s not mentioned in scripture – I missed the releasing of the winds.  Rev 7:1 says that four angels stopped the winds UNTIL….!?  Until the saints were all sealed, right?  But it doesn’t say that the winds were released… because it’s kind of a given.  So we don’t see that as an event in itself.  After all, it isn’t mentioned.  But because it’s not mentioned, does it mean they aren’t released?  Of course not!  It DOES happen.  So… is that what happened in July-Dec 2011?  The releasing of the winds?  It’s possible.  Which would put the next event in Rev 7 – the Rapture of the Saints – in the spring feast period.  Which, hey, I’m good with.  It’s coming very, very soon, and with me, the sooner the better!

  But then I was thinking… the sealing of the TWELVE tribes.  If it were during a six-month period, would it be split into two per month?  Or would it be all at the same time?  Or what if…  What if the tribes were sealed one every month for a year?  Because we’re no longer in the seals… maybe the six-month thing no longer pertains.  It’s possible.  The SMS was dividing six judgments into a time period.  Rev 7 doesn’t have any judgments, so maybe the SMS is over.  It could be.  And what if it *were* a twelve-month period for twelve tribes?  Why not?  It’s logical. 

  In which case all of 2011 was the sealing of the 144,000… which means either Jan-Jun 2012 will be a) the releasing of the winds [should it be an event in its own right] or b) the rapture of Rev7b.  If it’s the winds, then we’re still looking at a fall 2012 rapture.  If it’s the rapture, we’re looking at a spring 2012 rapture.  Either way, it’s a this-year rapture.  Take note that every Jewish site I read is adamant that Messiah will return in 5772.  The Jewish year 5772 is from October 2011 thru October 2012.  So… hey, it fits.  Which one am I leaning toward?  I don’t care… as long as it follows and it’s soon, I’m good.  Honest.

  There was something else I wanted to mention, but… it’s blocked.  Dammit, I hate it when that happens.  Well, I guess that just means I’ll be writing something else about this in the near future.  It’s important, but apparently for another day.  Crap…  Well, whatever.  Anyhow, that’s where we stand, at the moment.  So I hope that helps convey my thoughts on things.
