THE ESCHATOLOGICAL RHYME "A TIME, TIMES, AND HALF A TIME" DISCLOSED...

     Torah, the Prophecies of the prophets and the Psalms were the revelations of Christ in the Old Testament’s days. Torah revealed that the Spirit of Christ is Sevenfold. Menorah was foreshadowing the Sevenfold Spirit of Christ. Christ in the Old Testament was the lamp stand (Menorah) which had seven branches (Sevenfold Spirit). What was tangibly revealed on earth represented the truth that was unseen in heaven. The Menorah was the tangible representation of truth within the tabernacle. The Hebrews called their God, Yahweh, because YHVH was revealed to be the Sovereign divine king for the theocratic kingdom of priests and holy nation in the Promised Land, and the Redeemer and Savior for the house of Jacob. Christ is the Sovereign King of all kings and the Redeemer of mankind.


 The Sevenfold Spirit of the Divine as elucidated by the tangible Menorah in Exodus Chapter 25:


 1The Lord said to Moses,...31“… you shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The base and the shaft of the lampstand shall be made of hammered work; its cups, its capitals, and its flowers shall be of one piece with it; 32 and there shall be six branches going out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it; 33 three cups made like almonds, each with capital and flower, on one branch, and three cups made like almonds, each with capital and flower, on the other branch --so for the six branches going out of the lampstand;34 and on the lampstand itself four cups made like almonds, with their capitals and flowers,35 and a capital of one piece with it under each pair of the six branches going out from the lampstand. 36 Their capitals and their branches shall be of one piece with it, the whole of it one piece of hammered work of pure gold. 37 And you shall make the seven lamps for it; and the lamps shall be set up so as to give light upon the space in front of it. 38 Its snuffers and their trays shall be of pure gold. 39 Of a talent of pure gold shall it be made, with all these utensils.40 And see that you make them after the pattern for them, which is being shown you on the mountain.

      The purpose of the Seven Lamp stands (Menorah) was to give light upon the space of the inner Temple. The spirits of the believers, in essence, were the temples of the Holy Spirits. Therefore, Christ is the “lux lucet in tenebris;” He said “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never in darkness, but will have the light of life.” His sevenfold Spirit is represented by the mission of the Holy Spirit as to light up our spirits, so that we may see the realities of God’s Spirit. Seeing the realities of Divine Spirit is the result of the operations of the Sevenfold Spirit. The Father sends the promised Holy Ghost unto each believer, so that when the Spirit of the Father descends on every wick of their spirit, his Light would light up the whole inner temple i.e. human spirit.





     Later in the infancy period of the Church, Christ revealed unto St. John, through visions, the spiritual meaning of the tangible Menorah written in the Torah of Moses.  Christ revealed in Revelation Chapter 21 verse 23 that the Menorah is, in truth, Christ Jesus himself.  Thus, we know that all of the triune personae of the Spirit of God are Sevenfold Spirit.



22And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp (Menorah) is the Lamb. 24 By its light shall the nations walk; and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory into it, 25 and its gates shall never be shut by day—and there shall be no night there; 26 they shall bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 but nothing unclean shall enter it, nor anyone who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life. (Revelation 21: 22-27).




In the book of Isaiah Chapter 11, Prophet Isaiah prophesied that the future Messiah will be Seven fold Spirit:




1 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots.

2 And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and (spirit of ) understanding,  the spirit of counsel and (spirit of ) might,  the spirit of knowledge and the (spirit of the) fear of the Lord.



3  And his delight (the spirit of Joy) shall be in the fear of the Lord. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide by what his ears hear;



The Sevenfold Spirit of Christ revealed by the lyrics of Psalms & Proverbs

 

Christ is the Word that became man.  His name (mission) is the Word of the Lord as revealed in Revelation 19: 13. The Mission of Jesus Christ in the flesh was to fulfill the Word.  The book of Psalm contains Divine Lyrics and human lyrics. The Divine Lyrics in the Book of Psalms are called the Word. Human lyrics either divinely inspired or emotionally inspired in the book of Psalm were merely serving to be the complimentary flows of the wholeness of the songs. Solomon knew the Divine Sevenfold Spirit; his proverbs concerning the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit proved he was, indeed, endowed with the operations of those gifts.

The promises (Word) of the Lord are pure, silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times (Psalm 12: 6).

King David sang that the Word of the Lord was pure and seven-times-purity. It means the Spirit is Sevenfold because Christ’s name is the Word of God.  St. John wrote that, in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word is God.  So, the Word in the book of book of Psalm is referring to the Sevenfold Spirit of Christ.

The gospels recorded the Word that Christ is the Sevenfold Spirit of God.


The walk to Emmaus in Luke 24: 13-35, proved that Christ was the One written in the Laws of Moses, prophesied by the prophecies of prophets and sang in the book of the Psalms.
27 And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself (Luke 24: 27). “44 Then he said to them, “These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures,” (Luke 24: 44-45).  

The book of Revelation also reveals that Christ is the Sevenfold Spirit of God:-


2 At once I was in the Spirit, and lo, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne! 3 And he who sat there appeared like jasper and carnelian, and round the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald. 4 Round the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty four elders, clad in white garments, with golden crowns upon their heads. 5 From the throne issue flashes of lightning, and voices and peals of thunder, and before the throne burn seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God; 6 and before the throne there is as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. (Revelation 4: 2-6).
6 And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders, I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth; (Revelation 5: 6-7).  

Therefore, Christ is the Sevenfold Spirit of God!

The relationship between the Sevenfold-Spirit of God and the Judgment of Christ in His post Second Coming

He created the sevenfold agendas of Creation within the seven-day-prophecies.  He gave the spiritual calendars to the Hebrews with the significance of seven-times counting. His Word purifies us seven times over as presaged by the seven times ritual sprinkling of lamb’s blood on the atonement cover of the ark of Covenant.   He revealed that His punishment unto his own people was seven times over. Since the Spirit of YHVH was the ‘One Spirit’ with Jesus Christ; He is undeniably remains punishing our sins seven times over.”  

" a time, times, and half a times "



Prophet Daniel asked “How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?”  (Daniel 12: 6). One who is who was above the waters said, “It will be for a time, times, and half a times. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed (Daniel 12: 7).  Prophet Daniel stupefied and said, “I heard but I did not understand. The “astonishing things prophesied in Daniel 12: 6 is referring to the Mystery (mysteries) of God in Revelation 10: 7. For those whose names are not written in the book of life, it is the Beast “who once was, now is not, and yet will come” that astonished them.  Whereas, those whose names are written in the Book of Life would not be astonished because they know the things that "soon come to be" concerning the reappearance of the beasts. Surely, they would say that those things were allegorically written in the Holy Bible.

And it was prophesied that there would be “a time, times and half a times” before those astonishing things be fulfilled. The eschatological “a time, times, and half a times” would begin in Matthew 24: 29 till to the appointed time of fulfillment of the Mystery prophesied in Revelation 10: 7.  It was prophesied that the “power of the holy people has to be finally broken” as the prerequisite for the Mystery of God to be fulfilled. The mystery of a time, times and half a time begins in Matthew 24: 29, and will be completed after 59.5 biblical lunar years. The terminus of chastisement of the saints must first be pronounced in the Court of heaven in fulfilling the mystery in Revelation 10: 5-7. One of the mysteries which St. John wrote in Revelation 10: 5-7 would be the mystery spoken by St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 15: 51-58; and this mystery would be fulfilled in the post Second Coming of Christ. Another mystery would include the sealing of the 12,000 -elect from each tribe of the house of Jacob; which is the prophesied true restoration of Israel. 

The “power of the holy people has to be finally broken” refers to the “sun turned to darkness, moon does not give off her light and the falling stars.”  The people of God in the Church’s age were endowed with empowerment of the Holy Spirit.  And this was made possible because of the faithfulness of the Lamb of God in mediating our agony of sufferings due to sins, day and night as He is seated at the right hand of the Father.  When He returns on earth, the power of reconciliation would be taken away from the Churches, thus, leaving them as if they were finally broken.” The Churches would be facing Chastisement as previewed by the exhortations and messages revealed in r Chapter 2 and chapters 3 of the Book of Revelation.   

The followers of Christ would be the only group of people on earth who would be astonished with the Mystery of God. It was revealed, “But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the Mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets" (Revelation 10: 7). The Mystery is the Word.   All secrets of God are tied up with His Word. They are in His Word: Christ.  St. Paul witnessed that all knowledge, wisdom and understanding are residing in Christ: Word.

The rhyming verses:   a time, times, and half a times


In the whole holy bible that unique rhyme were only written in the book of Daniel and in the book of Revelation: Daniel 7: 25; Daniel 12:7 and Revelation 12: 14.   This rhyme is one of the most unknown mysteries of the Scripture.  Many scholars have rigidly endeavored in encrypting the spiritual meanings of such mystery.  We know that “all knowledge, wisdom and understanding are residing in Christ: the Sevenfold Spirit.”  Therefore, understanding and wisdom would only come to us when we are endowed with the gifts of Spirit by the Sevenfold Spirit.  In the account of the parable of the Sower, in Matthew Chapter 13, the disciples came and asked Jesus Christ, “Why do you speak to them in parables? In the same way, we asked the Sevenfold Spirit “Why you speak in rhyming verses? And astonishingly, Jesus Christ would answer us with the same answer as in Matthew Chapter 13: 11 He would answer, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.” Unless the Sevenfold Spirit grants unto us the spirit of wisdom and the spirit of understanding, then the intellectual deductions of men would be in vain.
The phrase “given to know” refers to the gifts of the Sevenfold Spirit namely the gift of the fear of the Lord, the gift of the spirit of Understanding and the gift of the spirit of Wisdom.  The triune God is the Sevenfold Spirit. The rhyming verses “a time, times, and half a time” descends from the Sevenfold Spirit; it is the prophetic handiwork of the Sevenfold Spirit: the Word (rhyming verse) comes from the Sevenfold Spirit of God.  These rhyming verses point to the Chastisement period for the Churches i.e. period of trials for the saints, and Judgment for the inhabitants of the World.  Thus, “a time” means “seven.” And “times” means “seven times seven.” And the “half a time” means “seven time half or three and a half.” 
Only Prophet Daniel and St. John the Apocalypse received such divine words concerning the unique eschatological rhyme; no other authors use this unique rhyme.  God punished his own people in "sevenfold" sequence as revealed in Leviticus 26, therefore, we know that “a time resonates or discloses the Spirit of Judgment as “7 times over. Thus, “a time means “7 years.Jesus said in Luke 24: 44 that His mission is to fulfill his handiworks according to All Laws, Prophecies and the Lyrics, and also His revealed Word in the New Testament’s eras.  So, the Spirit of the Laws in Torah remains to be the same with the Spirit of Judgment for all generations, and including the period in the post Second Coming Christ or the eschatological period called “A time, times, and half a time:”  Chastisement‘s period. Therefore, a time, times and half a time is numerically translated into 7, 7 x 7, 7 x ½.     


5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months; 6  it opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his power , that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them.  And authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation,8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it, every one whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain (Revelation 13: 5-8).
                                                                   
By applying the secrets of the Sevenfold  Spirit of God  concerning the “seven times over” in regard of Judgment, we could easily translate that rhyming verses into numerical spiritual interpretation which is 7 years, 7 x 7 years, 7 times ½ years, or simply 7 years, 49 years, and 3.5 years. It is in biblical lunar calendar years. The equivalent in modern calendar years is simply 6.89953 years, 48.508546 years, and 3.4497656 years.  The period of 3.5 years is equivalent to 1,260 days or 42 months. It begins in Matthew 24: 29, as soon as it is pronounced in the Court of heaven and spoken by the “mouths” of God on earth; the “mouths” of God on earth refer to whoever the Lord has conferred divine mercy and gifts of the Sevenfold Spirit.
In the Judgment era, such “seven-times-over punishment” would be fulfilled by the Seven horns, Seven eyes and Seven spirits: Christ the Judge who judges in equity. He judges the non covenant people (“tares”) with the same “seven times over” pronouncements (see examples of Judgment on Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4: 25 and Daniel 4: 31-32). Unless He pronounced the specified time period of judgment, the period of judgment would be subjected to the normally known Spirit of Judgment i.e. “seven times over.”

What shall 'the followers of the Way' do during the period of Chastisement which is rhyming a time, times, and half a time?
            His Second Coming is mysteriously related to the spiritual endurance of the mother earth. The message in Isaiah 26: 21 unfolds the sequence of event which takes place on earth when her spiritual endurance breaks down. This limit of endurance does not suggest the immediate destruction of the physical earth, but rather telling us her hostile conditions due to the defilement, and also due to the absence of divine Advocacy for the seemingly unceasing “day and night will never cease. There would be Judgment all over the earth.
21 See, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for sins the earth will disclose the bloodshed upon her;  She will conceal her slain no longer; 

When we interrelate the word earth‘ in Isaiah 26: 21 with the word the earth‘ in Genesis 8: 22, then we know that the spiritual endurance of the earth is mysteriously associated with bloodshed, and sins on earth— which at an appointed time would provoke God in pronouncing the Lyrics in Matthew 24: 29. So, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is, undeniably, related to the outcries against the inhabitants of the earth. The outcries are disclosed by earth herself unto God (see Genesis 18: 21-22).
The harmonious Lyrics of “day and night will never ceasewhispered by Yahweh‘s heart unto Noah‘s deep in Genesis 8: 22 would surely cease on the unique Day of the Lord (Matthew 24: 30; Zechariah 14: 6-7). The Lyrics of day and night would not cease, as long as the Lamb is sitting at the right hand of the Father, bearing our sins day and night, and bailing out our transgressions day and night. So the Lyrics of peace allegorically called day and night in Genesis 8: 22 would be disclosing divine Judgment, when the Lyrics is voiced out in the opposite wordings by the mouths of God on earth. The prophesied Covenant of day and night in Jeremiah 33: 19-25, or the Covenant of Peace in Isaiah 54: 10 is ruled by the Davidic righteous Branch, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9: 6 b; Psalm 89: 3-4). Jesus is the Prince of Peace or the King of day and night will never cease throughout the Church‘s age.
He endows us the perfect way to be reconciled to the Divine Spirit. The Lyrics, “as long as the earth endures” in Genesis 8: 22 are, in fact, linking up all the promises, and prophesies concerning the ascended Messiah who bears our sins by day and night. In other words, the absence of the endurance of the earth is mysteriously caused by the absence of Jesus’ omnipotent Melchizedec mediatory, which bears our sins by day and by night. The Lyrics without daytime and nighttime rhymes means the end of mediation by the Prince of Peace. Does the Lyrics day and night in Genesis 8: 22 still resonates in your deep? Or the Lyrics might have changed into “without daytime and without nighttime,” as in Zechariah 14: 6-7 ?
The Father must hand over the power unto his Son, prior to the fulfillment of Judgment mission on earth. This handing over of Judicatory from the Father to the Son would end up the Melchizedec Advocacy. The ceased role of Jesus, as Mediator and Advocator would mean the end of “Peace” i.e. he would no longer bear our sins as in the days of “day and night will never cease.”  The absence of Mediator ship would deprive the earth of her Spiritual endurance. The earth could only endure, as long as the Prince of Peace of the “day and night” is seated at the right hand of the Father. Prophet Isaiah foretold that Jesus would be coming down from heaven to undertake the mission of Judgment on earth (Isaiah 26: 21).
His Second Coming is pronounced by the Lyrics in Matthew 24: 29. Isaiah 26: 20 sheds off the wise spiritual counsel taken by the still alive believers in anticipating the approaching Day of the Lord. And this spiritual exhortation is quite similar to the prophecies revealed by many saints of the Church.  Matthew 24: 30 foretells the Theophanous of Jesus’ Second coming, “He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet,and this unique day was similarly depicted the Lyrics in the poetic reading out of Judgment in the Sixth Seal. The parting of clouds like the rolling up of scrolls was similarly portrayed both by Psalm 1: 9 and Acts 1: 9-11.  Jesus said that the vultures never lie. He said “Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.”  Every true and genuine pronouncement concerning the Day of the Lord resonates the true instinct nature of the vultures.  They won’t pretend to be in that gathering just to mislead the onlookers.  The vultures never do such thing!  Their true message is as genuine as their instinct;  they straightforwardly reveal the truth that there is truly a corpse !  The corpse that once dead as the Lamb Sacrifice, and had ascended into heaven would be returning !
