The End of the SMS
Well, we’ve finally made it to the end. It’s 2013, and the Six-Month Suggestion is over. For good.
I don’t know how I feel about that.
Fact of the matter is, while it’s driven me crazy for the better part of six years, it was reassuring – at the same time – to have had that predictable pattern to hold on to. It was nice to know what to look for, what was coming next. It was helpful to me to have had the Six-Month Suggestion. It brought me closer to Him, and helped me to understand better. Without it…
Yes, well, anyhow, it’s done. And the truth is, it might’ve been done for a very long time, I don’t know. I might’ve wishful hoped it had been in effect for more than just the Seal Judgments. Maybe I didn’t… maybe it extended that long. It certainly still fit for a time, so whether I extended it or He did (for me) is moot. It’s over, now, anyhow.
Going back over it as a recap, I believe the ‘Trib’ (or Beginning of Sorrows, they’re interchangeable) began on January 1st, 2007. It started with a seven year ‘covenant’ called the European Neighborhood Policy Initiative (ENPI). This was an ‘extension’ of what the EU actually is. The European Union being the uniting of 27 nations of Europe together. The man at the helm (Javier Solana) was the EU High Representative, and he drafted the ENPI as a way to unite the nations of the Middle East to the EU. If the Middle Eastern nation signed on to the ENPI, they would receive special benefits from Europe… trade, aid, etc. Ironically, Israel was the first to sign up, but many others followed.
The ENPI is the “covenant with many” found in the book of Daniel. It’s term was from January 1, 2007 thru December 31, 2014… seven years. Unfortunately, the EU is also the last empire in the book of Daniel – the one made of sand and clay that falls apart. Which is why halfway through, the “covenant” would be broken. And ironically, it was 2010 (halfway thru the ENPI) that Europe found itself unable to sustain the success and power that it had up until that point. Solana was gone, the financial straits were horrible, and the WEU slipped away… just as scripture foretold.
But that doesn’t change the fact that the Seal Judgments were to be carried out for the half of the ‘covenant’ period… those three and a half years. And here’s how it played out… each six-month period starting something (quietly, slowly) that would snowball bigger and bigger thru the end times:
1/1/2007 to 6/30/2007
|
7-yr ‘covenant’/Trib begins (ENPI)
|
7/1/2007 to 12/31/2007
|
Seal 1: Rider of White Horse (unseen)
|
1/1/2008 to 6/30/2008
|
Seal 2: Rider of Red Horse (war begins)
|
7/1/2008 to 12/31/2008
|
Seal 3: Rider of Black Horse (famine begins)
|
1/1/2009 to 6/30/2009
|
Seal 4: Rider of Pale Horse (death/sickness begins)
|
7/1/2009 to 12/31/2009
|
Seal 5: Martyrs under the Altar (unseen)
|
1/1/2010 to 6/30/2010
|
Seal 6: Earth/terra events (cataclysm begins) |
The ENPI was given to me via Herb Peters, a prophet the Lord really used in wondrous ways until his death in 2007… ironically the start of the ENPI. Apparently he did his job and brought the Truth about Daniel’s prophecies to light, and then his job was over. His daughter has since taken over his ministry, and declared that her father’s position was wrong, and everything he was teaching is now defunct. She… undid all of his work, and denied what the Lord set before her father. What’s left of his legacy is in shreds… I weep for what happened. Because Herb was right. It’s all been true – is still true.
And after the Lord directed me to Herb’s revelations, He gave me the SMS, which only confirmed everything. I watched it play out over years. The fiscal cliff you’re sick of hearing about? It started with a little snowball called the economic crash of 10/8/2008. The Syrian/Turkish/Iranian mess now in the news as they report 60,000 dead? It’s fueled by the reconstitution of Russia which occurred in July of 2007 – before that, Russia was dormant, a previously active arms dealer, but hadn’t dabbled since the Cold War… two decades passed without a peep, and suddenly, reconstitution. Like that, but with more… so much more. It’s all stuff that has snowballed out of the Seal Judgments, one fulfillment every six months.
I had extended the six month pattern into Revelation chapter 7, as well… partly because I wasn’t told it was over, and partly because I didn’t know what else to do. And besides, it fit:
7/1/2010 to 12/31/2010
|
Winds stopped
|
1/1/2011 to 6/30/2011
|
Six tribes sealed (part I)
|
7/1/2011to 12/31/2011
|
Six tribes sealed (part II)
|
1/1/2012 to 6/30/2012
|
Winds released
|
It seemed to fit. The Jewish rabbis in Israel announced in 2011 that it was the year that the Spirit, which flows out of Israel to the Goyim (other nations of the world) thru seventy windows, would be sealed off from the rest of the world. Before which winds were stopped (LINK). Now yes, it was more than six months to seal the tribes. It was more like one tribe per month, or six tribes per six month period… but it still mostly fit. As to the winds being released, it made sense, since they were only held for the duration of the sealing period. Like I said, though… this was my conjecture. Partly because I didn’t hear from Him about the SMS being over, and partly because I didn’t know what else to do but keep plugging events into the pattern. I take full responsibility.
The problem comes in that Revelation 7: 9-end did NOT happen during the last six months of 2012. We’re still here. That was NOT supposed to happen. And if the second half of Rev 7 doesn’t fit the SMS, I have to conclude that the first half wasn’t a part of it, really, either. At this point, I have to ask if maybe the SMS wasn’t over at the halfway point – in 2010. It makes more sense to me, in hindsight. It sucks that hindsight is 20/20, and our current view just… isn’t. Dog-gone irritating, but there you have it.
Then there was the realization that Rev 8:1 was supposed to be part of the previous chapter. (LINK) I still don’t know what that means, and it drives me absolutely crazy. If any of you are smarter than me and can figure it out, I’m WIDE open to suggestions, because I don’t get it. I just don’t. But there it is, and I guess I’m waiting. Still. But this time, I don’t have a pattern. I don’t have ANYTHING. And if you want to know the truth, I don’t handle that well. Not after He’s given me so much to watch, so much order and insight, before. Having fog roll in where once the view was clear? I’m not so good with that. It’s got me in a bit of a funk, truth be told.
But that doesn’t change the facts. We have hit 2013. And that means that the SMS is definitely over, regardless. You won’t be hearing about it ever again from me… and that probably makes a ton of you VERY happy. But… it leaves me unsettled. Because I had expected a fall/winter 2012 rapture. I hadn’t planned to be here now, as I said. That the rapture didn’t happen in 2012 doesn’t mean I don’t believe in a rapture – quite the contrary – the next event in John the Revelator’s line up IS the multitude of all tribes/nations at the Throne. It’s next. But the WHEN of it is completely beyond me. I’m stuck back at simply watching feasts, alignments, eclipses, and news headlines… wondering about that bloody ‘span of about a half an hour’, hoping the next event will be His timing. That’s the bad news.
The good news? I know what’s next. Regardless of when, I know what happens next. And I can have hope in that. Rest in faith. And pray for Him to give me the knowledge I need in His time. The Six-Month Suggestion is done… and now? Anything is possible.
