It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything about the ‘Six Month Suggestion’. And because it’s been such a long time, I thought it might be a good idea to revisit it, in case new readers don’t know what I’m talking about… and would like the perspective. Well, that and I’m revisiting it due to the Lord getting me up at 3:33am exactly and TELLING me to write this. When He gets me up, I obey. And apparently He wants this posted before Yom Kippur, so the Yom Kippur video I was going to post has been bumped out of the picture to make way for this.
This is prophecy per scripture… not the stuff we get to guess at, but the stuff that we read about that has been fulfilled right now, in our lifetimes, that you aren’t seeing because a) the media cares about current events but not the Bible and b) the church cares about the Bible but not about current events. But I digress. So let’s back up slightly, and I’ll walk you thru it.
In early 2007, I was shown something by the Lord. I call it “The Six Month Suggestion”. The Six Month Suggestion is simply this: If there are three sets of ‘tribulations’ (and a final judgment) that the Egyptians went thru prior to the Jewish Exodus from Egypt (via Moses)… and the Jews were only participants in the first set, then where there are three sets of ‘tribulations’ in Revelation prior to the final Judgment, the Torah-observant Messiah-followers will only participate in the first set, which are called the Seal Judgments (in Revelation 6), or the ‘Beginning of Sorrows (in Matthew 24/Mark 13/Luke 21). Comparing the two line-ups:
Beginning of Sorrows Seal Judgments
((Luke 21: 10-11)) ((Revelation 6))
* (not given) * White Horse/?? (unseen by us)
* nation against nation * Red Horse/War
* famine * Black Horse/Famine (economic crisis)
* pestilences * Pale Horse/Pandemic
* (not given) * martyrs under the altar (unseen by us)
* great signs in heaven *heaven rolled back, sun dark, moon redNow, the Christians also believe that ‘The Tribulation’ (that is allegedly seven years long) consists of everything in Revelation. Unfortunately this is wrong, because chapter one explains who/what Yeshua is, what He now knows about the future, and what He is going to reveal to John the Revelator. Then chapters two and three back up and give us a timeline from Messiah’s Resurrection thru to His reappearance in Revelation 5:6 when He’s seen stepping forward to take/open the scroll:

This timeline in Revelation 2 and 3 is a identical telling of events to Yeshua’s own timeline (in Luke 21, Mark 13 and Matthew 24) … which is screwed up by the Christians to refer SOLELY to The Tribulation, when it doesn’t. The parts referring to the timeline I just shared are in Luke 21:8-9, but then it says the end is NOT yet. Then verses 10-11 tell the ‘Beginning of Sorrows’ and matches the seal judgments perfectly… but then verse twelve backs up and says ‘before that, though…” and verses 12 thru 19 timeline the SAME thing I just gave you. For more on that, see “The Olivet Timeline I, II, and III” by clicking the Roman Numerals.) It’s screwy, I know, but I’ve already written about it before, in depth, and now’s not the time for that. But for simplicity’s sake:
Rev 1: Description of Christ
Rev 2 & 3: Timeline from Christ to 2003
Rev 4 & 5: Scene in Heaven w/ the Lamb
Rev 6: Seal Judgments/Beginning of SorrowsThere are seven seals/sorrows, and begins with a 7-year treaty per Daniel 9:27, the treaty is broken halfway thru, so we’re not guaranteed seven years… we’re only guaranteed three and a half, and after that, anything goes (and all hell breaks loose). So divide the seven seals into the three and a half years and you get one seal every six months. THAT’S the ‘Six Month Suggestion’ – that in every six month period from the start of the covenant-with-many, a seal will open. In chart form, here’s what we have:
Jan 1, 2007
7-yr ‘covenant’/Trib begins
July 1, 2007
Seal 1: Rider of White Horse (unseen)
Jan 1, 2008
Seal 2: Rider of Red Horse (war begins)
July 1, 2008
Seal 3: Rider of Black Horse (famine begins)
Jan 1, 2009
Seal 4: Rider of Pale Horse (death/sickness begins)
July 1, 2009
Seal 5: Martyrs under the Altar (unseen)
Jan 1, 2010
Seal 6: Earth/terra events (cataclysm begins) Why did I start it on January 1, 2007? Because the Trib starts with a 7-year covenant being made. That’s when – in real life – the seven year covenant was made. What am I talking about? I’m so very glad you asked!
- Jan-June 2007 – Seven-year treaty begins Tribulation. ENPI goes into effect. The European Neighborhood Policy Initiative [ENPI] is the EU (Revived Roman Empire)’s treaty with the Middle East. Israel was the first to sign on, followed quickly by others. It’s a seven-year covenant drawn up by the EU’s ex-High Representative, Javier Solana. He left office in November 2009, but is NOT out of the picture; most speculate he’s going for a more powerful position, still. The ENPI went into effect 1/1/2007, so that’s when our SMS begins.
- July-Dec 2007 – Seal 1: Bringer of Peace. The next six month period, according to the Seal Judgments was the ‘white horse’ rider. Churches have supposed that this is Messiah or the Antichrist (talk about opposing sides of a spectrum!). The other seal riders aren’t people, though, so that’s incongruous. Further, the Anti-christ’s appearance has to be BEFORE seal one is opened, because his 7-year treaty is what kicks off the seals. Well, that and 2 Thess 2:3 says he shows up before stuff starts to happen.
For a while I wondered if this white horse wasn’t the Alliance of Civilizations, which organized during this time period, but they seemed so… ineffectual, y’know? I read articles about Tony Blair being the white horse rider, but let’s be serious. I ended up apologizing for all my speculating, too… (LINK), because it turns out this is an unseen fulfillment. It’s not in the Olivet timeline, and wasn’t something we were made privy to. Of course, I didn’t know this until fall of 2010… nearly three years AFTER the fact. Oi, vey.
- Jan-June 2008 - Seal 2: Bringer of War. Next up was the ‘red horse’ rider, the war-bringer. And whaddya know, during this period, Russia ‘reconstituted’ its military endeavors. I wrote about it here and here, and since that time, things have gone from Russia being pretty much a split up and much more sedate nation to a revived arms dealer, taking an active role as King of the North in coming down as an ally to Iran and seeking to destroy Israel. Selling weaponry to all of Israel’s enemies, those who want to annihilate the Jews. We’ve gone from a Russia with little influence in armament back to the point where today the Strait of Hormuz is loaded with battleships, there are more off the coast of Syria and Turkey, more by Egypt… Israel is surrounded on all sides, just as Scripture says.
- July-Dec 2008 - Seal 3: Bringer of Famine. After that came the ‘black horse’ rider, which the church says is famine, but scales never EVER symbolize famine – they mean either justice or possibly economic/financial things. And on October 8, 2008 – smack in the middle of this period, we had our first big bubble burst, with the bear hedges failing, the housing collapse, the economic downturn… and it’s just snowballed from there, to today – when the WORLD banks are all on the brink of bankruptcy and there are riots, dire warnings, and talk of total financial collapse on all fronts.
- Jan-June 2009 - Seal 4: Bringer of Disease. Spring of 2009 saw our first global pandemic scare – which is what everyone agrees the ‘pale horse’ rider symbolizes. Do you remember the first sighting of bottles of hand sanitizer on all the counters at the stores? Yeah, me too. It was the H1N1 ‘bird flu’ that morphed from bird-to-bird into a bird-to-human form, and then a human-to-human form that spanned the globe. Lucky for us, the H1N1 virus only had an overall mortality rate of 0.71%. But it’s had a good couple of years, now to morph into something uglier. And today, H5N1 (which has quietly killed bird-to-bird and a little less quietly killed bird-to-human) has finally morphed to possibly be human-to-human. The first man in China NOT to be in contact with poultry (an inner-city bus driver) has died of H5N1. (LINK) The scary part? The mortality rate for H5N1 is something closer to 60%. Just so’s ya know. And flu season doesn’t really kick in until after February.
- July-Dec 2009 - Seal 5: Martyrs under the altar. Seal Five is Martyrs under the altar that are already dead. So unfortunately, we had no way to see this one. Which is why Messiah didn’t include it in His Olivet timeline. There is nothing I can mark it with, except for the very obvious lack of any event during this period of time. But it was a great time of reflection, seeing that five out of five of the SMS events came true, just not on the scale the church was expecting. They’re the BEGINNING of Sorrows, the ‘kick-off’ of things that would snowball into really bad things, later.
- Jan-June 2010 - Seal 6: Cataclysm. I can’t even begin to give links to all of the crazy things that started to happen terra event wise in 2010. That’s what my NoteWorthy News articles were for – you can do a search for them, here, if you have absolutely nothing better to do… But we started with an increase in size and frequency of quakes, and today we’re having them fast and hard, just about everywhere from Virginia to Wales, and no, I’m not making it up. Chile shifted us on our axis in 2010. Indonesia did it again a little later, and Honshu Japan shifted us more even later. The shift is causing the polar ice masses to melt. This is causing quakes that are bigger and bigger, and as they do this, there have been an increase in storm systems that are freaky and huge, there are increases in the awakening of volcanoes and actual eruptions… it’s crazy out there, right now. Our gov’t moved a good portion of their branches to the mountains in Denver, ‘just in case’… for fear of what might happen, fulfilling yet more prophecy.
Which takes us to the end of the 3.5 ‘covenant with many’… and btw, the 10-nation WEU (Daniel 7:7) announced their disbanning at this time, and the treaty kind of fell apart in the process. Ironic, eh? And the timing was impeccable – this ending of the Revelation 6 line-up of Seal Judgments (and Olivet timeline of ‘Beginning of Sorrows). So I wasn’t sure if it was the end of the Six Month Suggestion, too, or not.
Turns out, it was ‘or not’:- July-Dec 2010 - Winds held back from 4 corners of Earth. Next up was the angels holding the winds back in Revelation 7:1. I had no idea what this meant. It wasn’t until I started following SpaceWeather that I learned about solar winds, and how in 2007 it was discovered that there was a giant hole in the earth’s magnetosphere/ionosphere (LINK). But the thing is, it wasn’t a problem, because the solar maximum delayed for an unprecedented THREE and a HALF YEARS, and so there wasn’t anything to worry about. Until seal six, when the Lord said He would ‘roll back heaven like a scroll’, there wasn’t a problem. But with the shifting of earth off it’s previous axis, things changed. However, we haven’t really experienced anything ‘off’, because the angels had been holding stuff back until the twelve tribes of Israel were sealed.
- Jan-June 2011 - Sealing of Israel (1). So the next thing up was the sealing of the Jews, according to Revelation 7. In February of 2011, the rabbis and most revered holy men of Israel (who, btw, don’t read Revelation… they’re still waiting for their FIRST Messiah) announced publicly that the Holy Spirit was receding from the world. (LINK.) They said that it was through 70 windows out of Y’Israel that the Spirit flowed out unto the Goyim (Gentiles) and the time was come that those windows would close… effectively sealing the Spirit’s influence from those who are not of the 12 Tribes. Interestingly, only two of the tribes are even known (three, if you count the special DNA testing done on the Kohen). But I believe He knows those of us who are out there, unaccounted for.
- July-Dec 2011 - Sealing of Israel (2). Here’s where we deviated. Or not, depending on how you look at it. Either a) He sealed the tribes one a month for a year [12 tribes/12 months] and the SMS is over, or He kept to the Six Month Suggestion, and did half the tribes each period [6 tribes/6 months]. I chose to stay with the Six-Month Suggestion, because the winds fit the pattern, and the sealing of the tribes could fit the pattern, if done in two parts. Maybe not, maybe so, and until time reveals otherwise, I hate to throw out viable options.
- Jan-June 2012 - Releasing of the Winds. In Revelation 7:1 we saw that the winds would be stopped until AFTER true Israel is sealed from the world. What we don’t see in Revelation is a verse that says the winds are released. Does that mean this event doesn’t happen? No. It means scripture assumes you’re not so great an idiot that you can’t figure out what happens after the sealing of the saints, based on what you’ve just been told. So this gets put on our chart, next.
So! That takes us up to the present, by way of the Six-Month Suggestion. Did it come to an end after the Seal Judgments? I don’t know for sure, so I’m operating like it hasn’t, just in case. Will it continue? My guess is no, because Revelation a) Rev 8:1 gives a 3.5 year silence which ‘ends’ the SMS, and b) scripture says Yehovah ‘shortens’ things for ‘the sake of the elect’ during the Wrath. Which means the next two sets of judgments will probably hit harder and faster. But until we hit the next two sets of judgments, I’m holding to the SMS. So what is our present event?
- July-Dec 2012 - Saints at the Throne. We see a multitude in Heaven of all nations, tongues and tribes, wearing white and praising Adonai. Sounds like the rapture to me. And as I said when we started, if Israel only experienced the first set of three judgments in Egypt at the time just before the Exodus, then it’s very likely that will be mirrored with the three judgments of Revelation – that true Israel will only experience the first set… or the seal judgments of Revelation 6. It’s also fascinating to me that Torah-observant Messianics (and Jews, out of tradition) wear all white on Yom Kippur. It’s a foreshadowing of this next fulfillment!
So you can see why I’m so pumped up. And you can understand why I believe this is the year. Everything has been chronological, and fulfilled down to the six-month increment. I have been excited before (mostly because of my own lack of information/understanding), but I can’t see any other event foretold in scripture that comes before the rapture of Rev 7:9 et al. And yes, it’s possible that the SMS was over after the Seal Judgments, and that it could be a longer span of time before we hit Rev 7:9… But if the SMS holds until Rev 8:1′s time change, then this IS it. If not…? Well, I’m still within ten years of it. MY lifetime! Who wouldn’t be excited and watching!?!
To semi-quote Tank from ‘The Matrix’…
I… I gotta tell you, I’m fairly excited to see what [Yehovah's] capable of, if [the SMS] is right and all… We’re not supposed to talk about this, but if [it is]… Damn, it’s a very exciting time!!
