WATCH! THE COCK CROWED TWICE! MARK 13:35 While we were "sleeping"! "at even, at midnight, at the cockcrowing, and in the morning:--" Mark 13:35 THE INVISIBLE ESSENES WHO TRICK US WITH RIDDLES, PARABLES, AND "DARK SAYINGS" DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND! BUT NEGLECTED TO TELL US CLEARLY AND OUTRIGHTLY ABOUT THESE "COMINGS"!

Pastor Bryan Aarborg in his sermon for September 17, 2011, mentioned the general belief by Bible critics and professors of religion at our universities, that Mark is thought by these "experts" to be the first Gospel written. What he didn't mention was these same people assume that Matthew and Luke copied from Mark, who gained his original stories from Peter while Peter was later living in Babylon. He also mentioned that some of these Gospel writers sound like they expected Jesus to "return" in their lifetime. So here's the theory -- Mark was first, Matthew copied from Mark, and Luke copied from them both. And John? John is so different than the other three that these experts assume that someone named John in Ephesus stole or somehow obtained notes an elderly John who actually knew Jesus had written as a young man. On my previous page, I demonstrated that Mark is the only Gospel that claims Peter denied Jesus three times before the cock crowed twice, and actually includes the dialog during the trial when these denials occurred. And the two times the cock crowed. So there it is as plain as day in Mark, but not Matthew, Luke, or John. Jesus first tells Peter he will do this (2 cock crowings, 3 denials) then Peter does this (2 cock crowings, 3 denials). Then Peter remembers what Jesus said (2 cock crowings, 3 denials) and wept. In all the others the 3 denials are the same, but there's only one cock crowing. So here's my question to my great fellow scholars with your PhDs, etc. --- If they all copied from Mark, how come they copied so badly? Odds are at least one of them would get it right and back up that there were two cock crowings instead of one on this particular night. Barbara Thiering PhD gives us the right answer, but most of these scholars scoff at Barbara Thiering. Because a real human historical Jesus is not in their prescribed agenda, and they wish to preserve their paychecks! It turns out that the real reason that these same scholars want to assign late dates to all these Gospels except Mark, is Jesus' prophecy that the Jerusalem temple would be destroyed -- in a prophecy made in 33 AD or before. This happened in 70 AD, almost 40 years later. So according to these critical scholars, trained to see Jesus as an uneducated carpenter's son who could barely read and write, these gospel writers must have written this prophecy in around 70 AD, after this destruction had happened. Another problem crops up here. Mark includes this same prophecy in Mark 13. Mark 13:1, 2 "And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here; And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? There shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down." Barbara Thiering PhD sees no reason to deny that the gospels were written by one person each (or in the case of "John" perhaps two (John Mark and Phillip), and only a few years after the crucifixion of Jesus. I'm with her! So I'm with the 2 cock-crowings crowd. For a very good reason. I was a part of both the "Rapture 88" and "Elijah Revival" groups, and can now clearly see the message of the 4th, 5th, and 6th angel (my angel) of Rev. chapter 14. and the "midnight" and "2 cock-rowing" comings of Jesus in 1945, 1988, and 1993-1994. |

Mark 13:32-37 "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray; for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man making a far journey, who left his house, And gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. WATCH ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, (which occurred twice), oor in the morning: Less coming SUDDENLY he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, WATCH!" |

Jesus' TIME TRAVEL Trip

Having seen by reviewing both Matthew's version of Jesus' prediction that the Jerusalem temple would be completely destroyed and Mark's version, that they both start out with the same prediction, we're not done yet with our comparison. Matthew's version of the prophecy is much longer, and contains other prophecies that Mark left out that sequencially belong to the time period covered by the two cock-crowings of Mark 13:35. So we don't get the complete prophecy in Mark, but must turn to the other Gospels to find other details. One cannot do this repeatedly, and find it to be true over and over again without discovering that these Gospel writers are not semi-anonymous writers living far apart making up stories from the "lost gospel of Q" as many assert. But instead, as Barbara Thiering has discovered, Jesus' Essene associates conspiring together to preserve their real history in a world that loves myths and changes things to suit our fancies and provide us with magical fixes, and eternal life and unlimited power for our religious sect. And eternal damnation for all other religious sects. The Essene writers, with Jesus as their editor-in-chief knew that these stories and prophecies would not be preserved without significant alterations without some type of reward being promised to those responsible for keeping them intact. Each generation must believe the promises were for them, and those who attempted to change them would "rot in hell". It was good reasoning, and effective. We have these prophecies with every minute detail preserved, even those details we don't like, because the Essenes were more clever than we are, and more devious. The "curse" that largely provided protection from changes by the superstitious monks of the Middle Ages reads as follows:
Bible Students who are especially interested in Prophecy, and who use Bible Texts to predict the Future, are cautioned to pay as much attention to small as well as larger differences between those series of verses and sometimes whole chapters that seem to be in the Bible for their use. They can "thank" the above-cited "curse" for the observable accuracy of small differences, when texts are compared side-by-side as we shall do now with Mark 13 as compared with Matthew 24. There can be NO DOUBT that they cover the same period of time. Even the most critical will admit that. The small differences can have great consequences when properly interpreted. We have already observed that the author of Mark insists there were two "cock-crowings" on the night Jesus was tried before Caiaphas, which allowed Dr. Barbara Thiering PhD to date this event to March 21, 33 AD because she is a careful student of Essene calendars and time-keeping practices. But even more important to this present study, it allows us to both identify, and date, the 5th and 6th "angels" (or 2d comings) of Revelation chapter 14. This identifying of the last three of six angels in Revelation chapter 14 need have no consequence, and indeed has no importance to those whose identity and happiness and perceived importance depends almost entirely on believing there are only three angels, and that their group or sect represents these three angels. Another case of "ignorance is bliss". Such should not, however, find fault with Southern Baptists for ignoring scriptures about pork-eating and the Seventh-day Sabbath, or with Pentecostals for "shaking" when they feel the Holy Spirit or speaking in "tongues" that sound faked to their more sedate Christian "brothers". In the very first verses of Mark 13 and Matthew 24 we note, by reading carefully, that Mark says only one disciple showed Jesus the large stones while Matthew 24 says "his disciples" (supposedly ALL of them) did this. This is NOT a mistake, the proper pronoun, "he" is still used in Matthew's account. Information is being conveyed here. There was indeed one disciple, John Mark, who was called by the nickname "his disciples" because it was his job or position to carry messages to the other disciples and write down accurately, word-for-word, what Jesus said. In their persistent habit of "getting it wrong", modern critical scholars cannot find John Mark, but here he is as "his disciples" writing out Jesus' prophecy of Matthew 24 so accurately that we can watch it being fulfilled in the 19th and 20th centuries. We'll have a few more nice words to say about modern critical scholars at the end of this page.
The question all along has not been "When will the WORLD end?", but "When will the AGE end?" And GOD, like everyone else watching world events from a safer distance than we do, knew when the AGE ended. It ended on August 6, 1945 at 8:16 AM when an atomic bomb was exploded over the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
The explosion of this bomb made a SOUND, and to the prophetic Essenes writing both Isaiah 66:6 and prompting Ellen G. White in her book Early Writings (page 15 and 285) that sound was the "Voice of God". Before the atomic device was detonated no one knew the hour and the minute, but some may have known the day.
Isaiah 66:6 (interestingly, there's that number -- 666)
"A voice of noise from the city (Hiroshima), a voice from the temple (the atom, the "temple" of the Creator-God), a voice of the Lord (YHWH, God of the Jews) that rendereth recompence to his enemies (Japan as the wartime partner of the Nazis who were exterminating all the Jews of the world.)
Early Writings (page 15) "Soon we heard the voice of God like many waters, which gave the day and the hour (Aug. 6, 1945 at 8:16 AM) of Jesus' coming. The living saints (Jews that survived the Jewish holocaust), 144,000 in number, knew and understood the voice (deliverance from total annihilation), while the wicked (including, sad to say -- Seventh-day Adventists) thought it was thunder and an earthquake (symbolic of the Atomic Bomb)." Here Ellen White has given us the major clues to the overall meaning of Mark 13:32-37 that the "Second Coming" was to save the Jews from extinction, and that the "Day and Hour" that this WAS (not is to be) accomplished was when the "voice of God" -- the "thunder and earthquake" of the Atomic Bomb accomplished this goal --- August 6, 1945, at 8:16 AM. That's one of 4 "Second Comings", and it turns out it was the second of the 4. Ellen White gives us the clue to this also, on page 285. "It was at midnight that God chose to deliver His people. As the wicked were mocking around them (anti-Semitism), suddenly the sun appeared (again the Atomic explosion), shining in his strength, and the moon stood still. (A few years later, a moment in prophetic time, men were walking on the moon -- so symbolically it "stood still"). The wicked looked upon the scene with amazement, while the saints (the Jews, now returning to Israel in the 1960s) beheld with solemn joy the tokens of their deliverance. etc.)

I discovered, once
I had seriously tackled the task no one else had ever considered to be
important, --- discovering the identity of the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th
angels of Rev. 14 and 18 --- that I was able to do it, using Essene VOCABULARY
and the technique of PARALLELISM. To discover
