Ancient Hebrew keys to dating the Apocalypse

 

This Roadmap will give you a brief overview of the primary research principles used in my books. History is loaded with intolerance, hatred, discrimination, persecution, torture and wars carried out by one ethnic or social group against another in the name of a religion’s deity or some vision of rights and justice. Christian leaders are not excluded from the list of offenders in this regard. Closed-minded arrogance has been a primary cause for many of these horrible atrocities.

Self-centered greed and/or the desire to exercise social or political power over others have also caused millions of deaths suffered by families like yours or mine over the centuries. Peace and justice will never come until human nature is changed because spiritual problems require spiritual solutions. It was true in Jesus’ day, and it is true today. And I don’t have any miracles to claim or visions to share, but I will do my best to communicate my discovery of God’s plan for humanity with you the reader.

I encourage the religious leaders of today to permit their congregations the freedom to read my books for themselves. I don’t expect most to agree with my prophetic conclusions, but I do hope that their disagreement is based on a reasonably objective reading and study of the concepts presented in them. I want my ideas challenged properly on their own merits. I believe that God has blessed me with some insights that I feel obligated to share in the hopes that others can learn and grow in faith from them.

A common problem shared by today’s teachers of the Judeo-Christian heritage is that most are educated to focus on their own traditional explanations and interpretations of Scripture. They are like old record needles stuck in a groove that never get to the rest of the song. They do not look at the other side of the same book, the Bible: Christians do not study their Hebrew roots, and Jewish people do not read the New Testament for what it is – a Jewish commentary on the Torah, Prophets and Writings.

In the pages of my books I will explain why it is crucial to study God’s plan for humanity, which will lead us to the future date of the Apocalypse. My books are loaded with concepts never preached from any pulpit I know. They will stretch your horizons even as the reality of the coming years makes you feel uncomfortably anxious.

The Railroad Track Analogy

The problems in my own quest to find an answer really began when I learned something about what I call the Hebrew Alphabet Number System. This discovery rapidly led me to the conclusion that one needed to understand both the Christian and Jewish traditions in order to understand “the last days” as mentioned in prophecy. (In America we often call the “Last Days” the “Apocalypse,” hence my title.)

I often compare the two biblically based traditions, Christianity and Judaism, to a railroad track. The Hebrew Old Testament with its Jewish traditions and observances are one rail, and the other rail is the Christian New Testament of the Bible. Together you get the two rails of a biblical railroad track. It is another case of necessary dualism just like the Daleth-Heh parallel of the material and the spiritual dimensions of our universe.

Each rail brings stability to the other: without the one the other cannot function or exist like a system. Both rails have one designer, the Creator God who anciently made a covenant consisting of several sets of promises with Israel. Both traditions share what Christians call the Old Testament. But most Christians focus on the New Testament remaining largely ignorant of its foundation, and Jewish people generally refuse to read the New Testament even though most of it was written by Jews. The two rails of the railroad track provide the essential key to understanding God’s plan for humankind as well as the future events yet to come.

The Apocalypse will only last seven years. This short time of trial should be contrasted with 1,000 years of promised future blessings. The Creator has identified himself through his covenantal relationship with the people of Israel. He has repeatedly prophesied the future of that nation and intervened in the affairs of the world to bring those prophecies into material reality. He does so to bless everyone.

The railroad track exists so that God can deliver a trainload of blessings for everyone to the very end of what I have termed the Teth (9) Age. But it was appointed for the train to go from our present Zayin (7) Age of strife and injustice through the short fiery tunnel of the Cheth (8) Age – the Apocalypse. We are all on that train whether we understand where the track is going or not.

When I started to read about the Hebrew alphabet and the Jewish calendar, it was all foreign to me with my German background, but I discovered that “God’s Plan for Humanity” is imbedded in both religions. To understand what God is doing here on earth and where his plan is leading us, I had to become familiar with both sets of traditions; hence I compare it to a railroad. It takes both rails to move mankind through the tunnel of the Apocalypse to the goal of glorious blessings God has in store for Israel, the Church and for all of the peoples of the world.

As a result of this study, I came to the conclusion that ignoring either rail would lead one to a monorail analysis that goes nowhere. Many theological movements or church organizations have been founded on flawed biblical analysis. The synthesis I present in my books is also rooted in history, which amply supports my conclusions.

A train made to run on two rails needs both of them to go anywhere. So it is also with trying to understand God’s plan. In fact the Apocalypse can only be understood by combining both viewpoints. Unfortunately, theologians from one tradition or the other are mutually unfamiliar with the other rail. Consequently, they are not in the position to properly advise and shepherd their congregants, who are usually even less educated than they are. This is why Jesus taught that the greater judgment fell on those who teach in the name of God.

Once I made these discoveries, then other things I had studied started to fall into place. For example, I had investigated the ancient cultures of the Babylonians, Aztecs and Chinese. But my biggest discoveries were found in the Jewish calendar and its religious feast and fast days. At first these holidays were imponderable mysteries to me, but their significance in history proved critical to dating prophecy.

With regards to the Hebrew calendar, I stumbled onto something that raised a red flag – the same kind of mental reaction I got when I had stumbled onto something that would lead to a new invention. I noticed the same quality of patterns, or overlays, in the biblical verses discussing the history and prophecy of Israel that I had professionally experienced as breakthrough insights as an inventor. I continued using this same research methodology that had served me so well in Silicon Valley to study Bible prophecy.

The result has been endless hours in front of my computer keyboard instead of sipping wine in my hot tub! My family thinks I’m a bit off, and most of my Christian friends shut me up if I start talking about the Apocalypse. Even the music in my barn stopped for awhile. But I am as firmly convinced of the validity of my biblical, Hebrew Alphabet Number System and calendar discoveries as I ever was of my best invention, and that’s why I wrote these two books. It has been quite a challenge, and only by God’s grace do you have them now available on the Internet and in several languages.

Biblical Cycles, Gears, and Overlays

While studying the ancient Hebrew Alphabet Number System, it occurred to me that the historical events of humanity could be expressed in a mathematical equation. Using this equation, the cycles of history follow a predetermined path. Like so many gears of unequal size, these cycles of history and prophecy mesh synchronously to produce the appearance of prophesied events—just like cuckoo clock’s gears precisely and inevitably bring out the little bird at the right time.

What are those other sources that corroborate the Bible’s prophetic calendar? I looked into other cultures and calendars to see if I could find anything to support the claims of the Bible. My search led me to discover and learn more about the Jewish, Aztec, and Chinese zodiac calendars. Although they come from diverse ancient cultures, separated by geography and different from one another in language and culture, they are all based on a common knowledge of astronomy to measure time.

When I integrated all of these components—the Bible, the Hebrew Alphabet Number System and the Jewish, Aztec and Chinese zodiac calendars, they resulted in an amazing discovery. All of these disparate sources converged on one precise date! I did not set out to find that date, but these cosmic events happened to overlay perfectly with each of my history tables as well as the prophecy and time cycles that I had identified.

After I had gone through many calculations to establish the timing of the Apocalypse from biblical and Hebraic perspectives, I noticed that many of the equinox and solstice cycles over thousands of years matched up accurately to specific times in the future. These cosmic dates are also embedded in the World Cuckoo Clock another analogy I invented to understand what God has planned. This precise alignment of data from independent sources verifies the assumptions used to predict the historic and prophetic events for humanity and for the end of Satan’s dominion, which are also displayed on the clock face.

Bible prophecy works like a clock. The cuckoo clock bird announces to our world a coming event of major turmoil on earth. This book will reveal why there must be an Apocalypse, how it will happen and when it will happen

Next I began to discover the relationships between the biblical cycles and chronological gears by comparing and overlaying both the Christian and Hebrew Scriptures with historical events and chronological alignments of future events. It was my previous experience as a cuckoo clock maker that helped me to recognize the various historical cycles or chronological gears in my analysis of biblical history and prophecy. Ultimately, I was able to determine the date when the cuckoo clock bird will show up and announce the Apocalypse.

Reluctantly, I have ended up like the watchman described in Ezekiel chapters 3 and 33. In some ways I have come to identify emotionally with the prophet Jonah. Like the ancient prophet Jonah, I am not excited about shouting wake-up warnings to a world that mostly wants to be left alone to do its own thing.

But God’s warning to Ezekiel about his responsibilities as a watchman convinced me to keep typing and revising in order to try to make what I see in the Bible clear to you. Nor have I forgotten how God used some rather unconventional means to deliver Jonah to ancient Nineveh so that he would perform his duty to warn that great city of God’s impending judgment.

Concerning my Readers' Perspectives

Writing these two books about God’s Plan for Humanity and the coming Apocalypse presented me with a big problem. How do I communicate this message of the soon-coming destruction of human civilization on this earth to many different groups of people who are often miles apart in their thinking?

In my first book, Apocalypse Prophesied, I have tried to accomplish this objective by sharing my own thought discovery process and the role that the seven-year Great Tribulation of the Apocalypse plays in the overall 7,000 Year Plan of God for Humanity. I devoted much more space to the 7,000 years than to the 7 years. The reason I did this is because we can not really understand what the Apocalypse is all about and why a loving God is committed to its definite arrival without grasping its contextual purpose.

In this, my second book, I detail my research methods as well as the events of the Apocalypse itself. I both describe and date the major events using biblical references, principally the books of Revelation and Daniel. Therefore, my explanation of the Apocalypse often restates and links one concept in the chain of understanding to another.

In this Forward I address three specific religious perspectives that I am familiar with: Jewish, Christian and secular materialism. Many people in the last category are unfamiliar with the Bible. They have no idea that there is a record of God’s communications with humanity since the beginning of this world.

In any case, I expect to find myself in a vortex of controversy as a result of these books. I feel like I have found a strangely unfamiliar lamp like in the story of Aladdin. When Aladdin rubbed on his old lamp, a genie came out of it that could not be put back. For better or for worse, these books cannot be unpublished now that they are out.

I feel that my inventor’s curiosity of looking at things and seeing scriptural patterns and relationships hidden from others has gotten the better of me this time. Even the titles of my books raise the emotions of many. Perhaps their theological assumptions are threatened. Some ask questions simply out of curiosity. They wonder what the Apocalypse is all about and why God is going to destroy just about everything and almost everybody. “What kind of loving God is that?” they challenge.

In my own defense I would like to point out that I did not invent what came out of the bottle. I did not write the Bible verses I quote. In my books I cover religion, philosophy, the ancient Aztec calendar and the Chinese zodiac and a number of other subjects not usually associated with the Bible. Then I apply the insights from these seemingly non-related facts to the numerous verses in the Bible that plainly predict the set of unpleasant events that have come to be called the Apocalypse.

Below I direct some comments specifically to my Jewish, Christian and secular audiences separately. You might want to start with the group you identify with or maybe you prefer to read through all of them as presented. It is up to you!

The Plan of God Summarized in John 1

Just to mention the word “Israel” is to rouse emotions – either positively or negatively! What does the word “Israel” mean as it is used in the Bible? Do not assume that you already know.

The truth is that most only comprehend some aspects of this concept’s complex and richly multihued implications. Whether spoken or written, “Israel” too often conjures meanings not biblical or Godly. This observation is true as applied to scholars as it is for the general public. The fact that Israel is also the name for a modern nation-state further complicates the emotional impact of the word and causes many unnecessary controversies in religion and politics.

The constant presence in “Israel” is that of the Creator of heaven and earth. God’s name and eternal purpose for humanity is intertwined with this term. The shifting variable that must be determined is the nature of His connection or how God is involved each time the word “Israel” is used. The use of the word “Israel” must be understood within its proper context.

The concept of Israel, like many other biblical concepts, must be understood in its proper material or spiritual biblical contexts. God’s purpose, presence and performance pervade both the physical dimension of material time and space as well as the metaphysical dimension of the heavenlies. Just as the material creation exists to fulfill a spiritual purpose, so a material Israel exists from which God will fulfill His material and spiritual promises to humanity.

In modern history the Jewish people represent the remnant descendants of the material (mortal, biological or natural) children of Israel. Israel as a concept can be compared to the clay from which the Master Potter forms His vessels. First, the potter must dig out some clay from the pit. Only some of the clay can be chosen. There is too much in the world or even in one deposit to work with all of it. The children of Jacob were the clay separated from the rest of the families of humanity for the potter’s raw material.

But not even all of the clay dug out is suitable to be used. Even if a lump of clay is set on the potter’s wheel, the vessel made from it may be flawed in some way so that it is thrown away unused. In the analogy below, God is the Master Potter. The raw clay that meets with His approval, He fashions and places in service according to His divine wisdom. Some of these vessels see more frequent and more honorable service than others.

God’s promises to humanity are universally rooted in the original sin of Adam and Eve. When they chose the forbidden tree, they separated themselves and all of their descendants from the Creator. Because of this sin, Adam and Eve were driven out of Eden. Because of this sin, all of us have been born to experience suffering, strife and death in a fallen world of good and evil.

God in His mercy promised that a Seed would come from “the other side” who would also be fully a child of Eve. This child born would redeem humanity by providing a way back to God’s presence in the eternity of the heavenly dimension, which will be totally re-created anew in the final stage of His plan. In order for one mortal Servant-Savior of God to be born, He must have ancestors and other relatives, who will be biologically alive - both before His natural life, during it and after it.

From the time of God’s covenant promises to Abraham, the Bible tracks the biological genealogy of Jesus, the descendant son of David, Jacob, Isaac and Abraham. God changed Jacob’s name to Israel because that grandson of Abraham overcame his spiritual doubts and struggled in faith with God believing that the Almighty would keep His promises. Thus, Israel means “one who struggles” with his humanity to claim God’s promises or “over-comer.”

At this point in the history of divine revelation, the Bible links the name “Israel” to God’s promises to humanity. The material aspects of those promises relate to the natural descendants of Jacob and the spiritual aspects to the faithful of all nations.

Although the spiritual aspects of God’s promises are from eternity past, they were designed to bless all the families of humanity, but they have always applied or been offered to the descendants of Jacob first – today’s Jewish people. In one sense this chronological precedence can be understood as proper courtesy to the relatives of His servants. From the perspective of practical reality, God’s servants’ first audiences have almost always been their relatives and neighbors.

Jesus is the one Mediator between God and humans. (1Timothy 2:5) As a biologically Jewish son of the covenant originally made with Abraham and embellished through Moses and the prophets, Jesus qualified to participate in the Israelite covenants. Yeshua was born into the covenant people, and He fulfilled its terms and conditions perfectly.

Through and in Yeshua/Jesus, the non-Jewish believer is connected to the covenant promises without needing to become an Israeli. By faith in Messiah, he or she can fully participate in the full hope of the eternal promises otherwise reserved for circumcised members (after the flesh) of the theocratic commonwealth of Israel.

Through the Savior, the believer encounters and partakes in the perfection of Israel. By faith and the promised gift of the Holy Spirit, we come to dwell in Him who has overcome the Evil One, sin and death. Our hope is secured and guaranteed if our faith is real, though imperfect. We are saved by faith in Yeshua and not by works, metaphysical mantras nor correct knowledge/theology.

Regardless of biological and cultural heritage, the believer becomes a son, a beneficiary of the biblical covenants in the Son of God. Through the Holy Spirit, we have communion together with the Father and the Son as one fellowship. (I John 1:3) Because Israel the natural nation of mortals was created by covenant, so the immortal nation is created by covenant. Both are called Israel because it is the covenant name for the human side of the agreement. It is one covenant operating in two dimensions simultaneously throughout history, but the material dimension will come to an end with the close of the millennium.

When the true Light of God - Yeshua the Messiah and Son of the God of Israel - came into the world, no one in the world recognized their Creator. Yeshua’s own neighbors did not recognize the spiritual Word of God even though they had been given the written Word of the Torah, prophets and writings.

He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:10-11, 14, NASB)

Since His death and resurrection, those who do believe are empowered to also become the children of God, though this certain spiritual transformation is only experienced through the clouding obscurity of our weak and mortal flesh in this material dimension. This miracle becomes reality only by the will of God and by His power.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:12-13, NASB)

One does not inherit eternity by becoming a member of the mortal nation of Israel. The only advantage the children of Israel have had is the necessary fact of physical proximity in the material dimension of time and space.

This is true whether one considers biological and cultural heritage, access to the holy writings and to the land where the plan of God unfolded, or being the clay from which Messiah was born. Eternal redemption does not depend upon bloodline. It cannot be attained by the power of the fleshly spiritual life force, nor can it be earned because a person desires it, wants it, wills it or sacrifices his life for it.

Proximity to the unfolding of God’s plan for all humanity does not equal superiority or indicate any favoritism. The nation of Israel was God’s covenant people – not His indulged upon “pet people.”
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one [spiritually] in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's [spiritual] descendants, heirs according to [spiritual dimension of the] promise. (Galatians 3:26-29, NASB) [Brackets added for clarity.]
Those who enter into the faith of Jesus, submitting their mortal lives to His rule as revealed in His Word, are baptized into the covenants of Israel becoming sons of God. We are not yet born sons – just begotten or started on the path, for we are not yet resurrected to immortal perfection.

Thus, Paul wrote that even though we are yet biologically distinct as mortal people – being either male or female, Jew or non-Jew, slave or free, we are indeed one in Christ because there is only one Holy Spirit. Because of this ultimate spiritual unity, we are called to a life of peace and service towards believer and unbeliever while we walk the earth in the shroud of our mortality under the protective eyes of God. In this context read Paul’s famous analogy comparing the material and spiritual dimensions of Israel to olive trees in Romans chapter 11, and remember, for His own name’s sake

indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep. (Psalms 121:4)

 

A Jewish Book

Most people look at the Bible as being a thick Jewish book that seems difficult to read. Furthermore, the Bible is not read as much as it should be because there is a good bit of it that is difficult to understand. Partly this is because it is filled with unexplainable mysteries and descriptions of cultures old and strange to most of us.

Others have been turned off the Bible from what they see on TV. Some mass media theologians seem to feast on controversies or mundane opinions. Others entertain with their charismatic personalities as they perform made-for-TV- miracles. Then there are the soupy-spinners of spiritual psycho-babble. The net result to viewing unbelievers is usually mis-education or a total turn-off.

In my two books I try to give you a clear overview of human history’s key events from the panoramic perspective of God’s plan. What is life all about? Why and what is death? Why does God permit evil?

These are some of the fundamental questions we all have, and I will try to answer them within the context of Bible prophecy. As you progress through my books, you will be exposed to some very different perspectives and explanations about why God is doing what He is. So do not expect a doctorial dissertation or lofty theories of the Bible, but just a straight forward explanation from a clockmaker’s viewpoint.

If God created the universe, then there must be a divine purpose for us. To understand God’s intent for our lives, we must try to see what is happening on earth from the other side, and the Bible is our primary source of evidence.

Of course God looks at prophecy as though it has already happened. Because he dwells in the heavenly eternity, the future is the same as history to him. I call God’s heavenly dimension the “Heh” dimension. Heh is a Hebrew letter that communicates an alphanumeric message like all of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. It means “the other side” or “window” and possesses a numerical value of five (5). Throughout my books, you will see the heavenly perspective of life on earth revealed through the appearance of the number five (5). This includes the five-based Bible chronology of history and prophecy.

We live in the Daleth dimension of this material universe, which is subject to time so that we have a future that prophecy can tell us about. Daleth is the fourth Hebrew letter and carries that numeric value (4). The Daleth perspective is often related to the number seven, such as in the historic and prophetic timelines and/or calendars based on the seven day week.

I will discuss these two dimensions extensively in my books. Both dimensions (body-spirit) are presently represented in each person: it is what makes us human and eligible for eternal life. Within the full context of the Bible, the Hebrew Alphabet Number System is a beautiful tool to teach us many concepts from the other side.

Translating between these two dimensions of Daleth and Heh is difficult at best from our side, but it can be done if you will give me a chance. I hope that my books will give you a roadmap or provide you with a compass that will help you find your way through the dense fog of misunderstanding, confusion and possibly, prejudice that often distort the clear messages of Scripture.

Initially I wanted to write a book for non-Christians rather than for Christians. I anticipate that the Jewish people will be more interested in the content of this book than most other non-Christians, but I might be surprised – pleasantly, I hope.

God’s plan for humanity is for everyone – not just for the Jewish people or Christians. We will all go through the Apocalypse, so these books have important information for every person alive today on earth. Billions will perish in the years ahead, and there will be no a quick exit to heaven beforehand as many Christians think.

Christians have Problems Dating the Apocalypse

Many Christian scholars have difficulty with the concept of dating the Apocalypse because they erroneously believe that the date of Jesus Christ’s return is directly connected to the date when the Apocalypse begins, or at least to its midpoint.

What I discovered is that the timing of these seven years is pre-ordained or chronologically placed in at least two mathematical systems of calendar cycles and gears: one is five-based and the other is the more familiar seven-based chronological system. They could be compared to sets of gears inside a cuckoo clock, which I will later describe in detail.

The future date of the return of Jesus Christ and the resurrection of the saints are not determined by the starting date of the Apocalypse – or by any other date that I could discover. God the Father will decide the appropriate time for the Messiah’s coming as King of Kings. It cannot be dated. I believe that once you understand the cosmic reasons “why” there must be an Apocalypse, you will have no problem in accepting its dating.

No One Knows the Day or the Hour

When confronted with a date like 2008, most Christians respond, “Nobody knows the time.” I believe that they misunderstand that much misquoted Bible verse. First of all, let me tell you right now that I cannot date the day of Jesus’ return in glory. I do date a number of key events in the Apocalypse including its beginning and end. There is a significant difference between dating the events of the Apocalypse and determining when Jesus will return, which I explain later in the book with considerable detail.

Beyond this technicality, I believe that the question of dating when the Apocalypse will occur could not possibly be answered two thousand years ago. Two very important classes of information have been added since the days of Daniel and the early church. First, the book of Revelation was given to us, and secondly, we have about two thousand more years of history to work with in order to see the patterns of God’s plan unfolding. Many modern advances in technology help us to research the patterns of history necessary to project forward into prophecy. In fact many prophetic descriptions of the last days have come to life over the last hundred and fifty years.

As anciently paraphrased, the question was, “Will you [Jesus] at this time establish your kingdom?” Or, “When will you come in power as king?” Jesus answered a simple question from simple people with a simple answer suitable to his time and audience. I would paraphrase it for you in today’s language, “No one has enough information – including a good enough calendar - to date the future coming of the kingdom and the return of the Messiah. Only God knows the exact time.” [For more on this question, read my postscript, “Can God Change His Schedule?”]

But today we have computers to calculate a very accurate calendar that we can trust. We also have the whole New Testament and two additional thousand years of history. You will see how these three changes made it possible for me to discover some dates to frame when the Apocalypse or Great Tribulation will take place.

Five hundred years before Jesus walked the earth, God’s faithful servant Daniel received many visions that showed him important events that would take place years after his own life had ended. When given the last of these prophecies, he earnestly asked the angel of the Lord, “My Lord, what shall be the end of these things?” (Daniel 12:8) His answer,

Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. (Daniel 12:9-10)

Daniel was plainly told by the angel that “the wise shall understand” about his prophecies at “the time of the end.” From this verse I think that it is safe to conclude that it is indeed possible to discover the answers to the when, what and why of Daniel’s prophecies, which are essentially repeated and embellished upon in Revelation.

I do not, and could not fairly call Christians who do not understand the details of the biblical Apocalypse “wicked.” But, from reading the verses quoted above from Daniel, I can conclude that God might not consider them wise either. Rather than jump to calling my brothers in Christ “fools,” I have instead come to believe that many Christians do not even know what they believe, just like Thomas.

I have often wondered why Thomas, an eyewitness of many supernatural miracles for three years, should at the end of Jesus life on earth “doubt.” Besides the many miracles that he witnessed, Thomas had heard many verses from the Torah explained plainly and powerfully by Jesus, the greatest teacher who ever lived. Similarly, Peter declared himself one of Jesus’ best friends. “I will never leave you! I would die for you!” he had said, yet just a week later this same “friend” evaded three possible confrontations by denying that he had even known Jesus.

Here is my challenge to you about reading my books: you do not need to justify yourself to me. I am just a simple inventor and sometimes a clockmaker. The wise will demonstrate their wisdom in how they live their lives led by the Holy Spirit. If you are a graduate of established academia, then you will probably have a hard time dealing with the many scriptures quoted in my books and/or with how I have expressed them in everyday language, but God does not judge us by what we know. Rather, we are judged by what we do with our lives, which includes what we know.

If you read my books, then I think that you will see more clearly where you stand – at least in regards to what I have written. Probably, you will either reject or accept the contents because God through his inspired Word will ask you, “Are you one of the wise who understand the end times?” If you rebuff reading my books out of hand because of the subject material, then you may be yet in your unbelief as “Doubting Thomas” was. I hope that you will not so doubt when you meet Jesus on the final Day of Judgment.

The “Rapture”

At the start of my research, I subscribed to Christian magazines on Bible prophecy as well as others on news and science in order to keep abreast of what is going on in the world. Through their pages, I kept searching for answers to bridge the significant disconnects between theories about the unknown future and what is described by the Bible in Revelation and other prophecies.

My own predisposition to believing in a pre-tribulation rapture, led me to read a number of books on that subject. For those not familiar with the term, the “pre-tribulation rapture” means that the true believers of the Christian faith will be resurrected before the terrible times of the Apocalypse descend upon the world. In other words, they will suddenly disappear into thin air before affairs on this earth become too difficult.

The “First Resurrection” is central to Bible teaching. This is when our physical bodies will be changed from flesh to spirit after the return of Jesus Christ to this earth. (Revelation 20:4-6; I Corinthians 15:50-54) If one is alive at that time, he or she will avoid death. A large number of novels are available in bookstores about these last days. Although beautifully written, most appear to subscribe to an erroneous exposition of Scripture when overlaid or compared with many Bible verses and the Hebrew Alphabet Number System.

I also see many books advertised on TV that cater to the American lifestyle of over-consumption. Americans, including American Christians, do not want their standard of living to be disturbed for understandable reasons. Pre-tribulation rapture books sell well because they promise that trials, pain, torture and death will be avoided by those who are faithful. You can find them almost everywhere in the western world and especially in Christian bookstores.

The basic assumption expressed in most of them is founded on the notion that Christians are exempt from the wrath of God; hence the idea got started that faithful believers will be gone before the terrible time of the Apocalypse. Many variations to this theory abound that cater to the comforting sentiments that one wants to hear, but they are not accurate because their authors do not fully understand the purpose for God’s wrath.

So most evangelical Christians have been lulled into believing a comfortable theology that does not disturb or bother their present lifestyle with negative ideas about a soon-coming destruction. They continue to blissfully enjoy their present way of life trusting all along that the life insurance policy promised by their churches is true. Because of the rapture teaching, they believe that they will not be around when the times of truly great trials and sorrows arrive.

My two books will give you a different, and I believe accurate perspective on the rapture - a teaching which historically has divided many Christians. My perspectives are different because I have overlaid my scenarios with the Hebrew Alphabet Number System, which brings some order to the confusion inherent in Daniel and Revelation.

The Cuckoo Bird’s Call

If you walk through Germany’s Black forest, you can hear the echo of a cuckoo bird. That bird is very strange. He is single, not paired like most other birds. He does not build a nest, nor does the cuckoo raise its own children. The female lays her eggs in another species’ nest, and when the egg hatches, the cuckoo bird chick will throw out all the other baby birds in the nest, so that he is the only one left. The hardworking foster parents do not realize that they are raising a parasite chick that has killed the legitimate hatchlings in order to steal their food.

It is an evil thing when one species raises the young of a different species – especially if the latter kills the rightful heirs who belonged in the nest. God teaches us spiritual realities from the natural world. The forest is our world, and we will identify it later with the Hebrew letter, Daleth, which is also the number “four” (4) and conveys the concept of “in this world, of this time.”

In this world we all have experienced evil. Sometimes we wonder where it comes from. We could live such perfectly pleasant lives, except for… Why are we constantly confronted with conflicts over resources and/or issues of life-death? It seems that there is a mass irrationality that interferes with what should otherwise be a wonder world full of abundant life for all. Indeed, there is something very wrong.

The cuckoo bird is an invader from another territory. In my analogy the cuckoo is Satan, and his purpose is to defeat all aspects of normal life at the expense of his own gratification, pride and existence. He hides his true intentions by disguising his call signal in a way that makes it so we can never really identify him in the forest. He flies quickly from one location to another so that it sounds like there are a lot of cuckoo birds in the neighborhood, but that is just part of his overall strategy of lies, deceit and illusion.

In these two books you will find the cuckoo bird revealed and identify the characteristics of his call and life cycle. The German clockmakers use cuckoo call increments as time markers. Since I grew up in Germany and know how to build cuckoo clocks, I relate this analogy from my youth with the plan of God for humanity. In my books I will teach you how the cuckoo clock for the universe works.

These various analogies wil l open your mind to cosmic concepts you have never heard before. Even Christian and Jewish believers will discover something new in them. I describe the forest-like Daleth dimension as well as the air domain that Satan and his demons occupy. We will reveal the death struggle that the rightfully born birds (people) will experience during the Apocalypse, and finally, we will learn how and when God will put an end to the Evil One for the benefit of the whole bird community.

The Analogy of the Cuckoo Clock

When I was a teenager in Germany, I learned how to make clocks. I especially enjoyed making cuckoo clocks. This style of timepiece contains many gears of various sizes connected to a mechanism that actuates a small wooden bird. At a specified time, an appointed event takes place when a little door opens and the bird announces its presence.

After understanding the cuckoo clock mechanism, I could easily predict the exact time the door would open and the bird would emerge. This knowledge didn't make me a prophet. I simply learned how to interpret the mechanical action. If human history is regulated like a clock, then all one needs to do to predict future events is to study the information provided by the Creator and correctly figure out how it all fits together.

About two thousand years ago Jesus came to his people at an appointed or “set” time. (Acts 1:22-24; Hebrews 1:1-4) I believe that His coming again in glory is not different. There is a set time determined by God the Father according to His plan from the beginning. (Acts 3:19-26) I believe that since 1967 that date is now approximately known to all in Heaven. The timing is structured into the combined prophetic and historic chronology of humanity in the form of gears and cycles similar to what you find inside a well-made cuckoo clock.

After careful study of many pertinent Bible verses, I constructed a timetable for the seven-year Apocalypse. I then researched extra-biblical sources that predicted an end-of-the-world scenario. To my amazement, four more timetables from other cultures overlaid the biblical predictions, just like the gears of a cuckoo clock meshing together. This by itself makes for an outstanding proof, suggesting strongly that the Apocalypse will happen as I have predicted. My timing may still need some minor recalibration. Being human, I can and do make mistakes. However, one thing is certain: God's plan for this universe is fixed, like the gears of a cuckoo clock.

Corroboration

Every time my cuckoo clock bird announces his presence, I am reminded of how incredibly God has preserved his Word for thousands of years. I feel privileged to have unlocked this mystery. The announcement of the Apocalypse is perhaps the last wake-up call to alert the world to the drastic changes that will soon occur.

The Bible is the inerrant Word of God, so if we can interpret it properly, it should be a valid resource to predict future events. While the Bible is God’s inerrant Word, any human attempt to interpret it could be flawed.However, if data from other sources point to the same events happening at the same times, then this concurrence would make a strong case for validating that biblical interpretation.

While studying the ancient Hebrew Alphabet Number System, it occurred to me that the historical events of humanity could be expressed in a mathematical equation. Using this equation, the cycles of history follow a predetermined path. Like so many gears of unequal size, these cycles of history and prophecy mesh synchronously to produce the appearance of prophesied events—just like cuckoo clock’s gears precisely and inevitably bring out the little bird at the right time.

The Bible is the inerrant Word of God. If we can interpret it properly, it should be a valid resource to predict future events. While the Bible is God’s inerrant Word, any human attempt to interpret it could be flawed.However, if data from other sources point to the same events happening at the same times, then these confirming correlations of events and dates would make a strong case for validating that biblical interpretation.

What are those other sources that corroborate the Bible’s prophetic calendar? When I looked into other cultures and calendars to see if I could find anything to support the claims of the Bible, my search led me to discover and learn more about the Jewish, Aztec and Chinese zodiac calendars. Although they come from diverse ancient cultures separated by geography and different from one another in language and culture, they are all based on a common knowledge of astronomy to measure time.

When I integrated all of these components, they resulted in an amazing discovery. All of these disparate sources converged on one precise date! I did not set out to find that date, but these cosmic events happened to overlay perfectly with each of my history tables as well as the prophetic and historical cycles that I had identified.

After I had gone through many calculations to establish the timing of the Apocalypse from biblical and Hebraic perspectives, I noticed that many of the equinox and solstice cycles over thousands of years matched up accurately to specific times in the future. These cosmic dates are also embedded in the World Cuckoo Clock. This precise alignment of data from independent sources verifies the assumptions used to predict the historic and prophetic events for humanity and for the end of Satan’s dominion, which are also displayed on the clock face.

Bible prophecy works like a clock. The cuckoo clock bird announces to our world a coming event of major turmoil on earth. This book will reveal why there must be an Apocalypse, how it will happen and when it will happen

Returning to my analogy of the cuckoo’s call in Germany’s Black Forest, I tell you that in just a few short years from now, all of the bird communities around the world will be able to raise their children without any fear of evil. I invite you to a journey in the black forest in both of my books: listen to the call of God’s plan for humanity in my first book, Apocalypse Prophesied and in Mystery of Tammuz 17. Follow the calls through the forests of time as I detail the biblical and chronological discoveries that support the dates used in both books.
