THE REAL LATTER RAIN

IS NOT "PENTECOSTAL" AND

NOT EVEN "CHRISTIAN"!

 

AS PREDICTED  100 + YEARS EARLIER BY ELLEN HARMON

 

AFTER THE NEW ESSENES,

AND PENTECOSTALS TWICE,

A "Revival" OF COMPASSION!

 a "NEW AGE" OF RELIGIOUS TOLERATION!

"While I was praying at the family altar, the Holy Ghost fell upon me, and I seemed to be rising higher and higher, far above the dark world.”

The Essenes were a separatist group in 1st century Judaism that sold their “worldly goods” and lived holy lives in monasteries, such as the now well-known monastery at Qumran, by the Dead Sea.

  As Ellen Harmon goes on to describe what she saw, she describes a "path" identical to how the Essenes decribed their "WAY" (their doctrines, their teachings, their customs) -- Ellen saw her Adventist associates on this path or "WAY" on their way to a city at the end of this path, which Ellen thought was the New Jerusalem in Heaven, but that I am suggesting is Qumran pictured above, the "New Jerusalem of the Essenes.

      After and indeterminate period of time in Ellen's first vision, some of  her associates "stumbled", and fell off the path, but of those that remained, Ellen starts using Pentecostal expressions and descriptions instead of the Essene expressions she started out with.

     "If they kept their eyes fixed on Jesus, who was just before them, leading them to the city (to Qumran with its Essene doctrines, teachings, and customs) they were safe.  But soon some grew weary, and said the city was a great way off, and they expected to have entered it before.  

      Then Jesus would encourage them by raising His glorious right arm (raising one's arm or arms during a religious meeting is a Pentecostal custom, not an Adventist custom), and from His arm came a light which waved over the Advent band, and they shouted, 'Alleluja!'

     This one coded sentence in Ellen's description of her first vision in December 1844 forecast both the 'Health Reform' message among Adventists -- and the Pentecostal Revival in America!  The latter an event that did not occur until more than 50 years after Ellen had this vision!

 

 
We're talking here about the major Pentecostal Revival that started in this country on Azusa Street in San Fancisco in 1906.

    After her one sentence description of the early 1900s Pentecostal Revival (destined to continue for the entire 20th century) Ellen Harmon returned immediately to her listeners, destined to be "Latter Day Essenes"

“Others rashly denied the [ ESSENE] LIGHT  behind them and said it was not [ JESUS as God, part of the ‘Trinity’] that had led them out [ away from Orthodox theology] so far.   The [ ESSENE] LIGHT  behind them went out , [ no more ‘Spirit of Prophecy’ ] leaving their feet in perfect DARKNESS, and they STUMBLED  [ into standard Christian belief in ‘Cheap Grace’] and lost sight of the MARK [of the Beast, Catholic Theology, that was now Adventist Theology ] and of the [ human Essene ] Jesus, and fell off the path down into the dark and wicked [ nominal Christian] world below.”

A short, but amazingly accurate picture of what happened in Adventist theology between 1888 and the 1950s, at which time Adventists had become orthodox Trinitarians to avoid the stigma of being called a "cult".

KEY CONCEPT: NONE OF THE ESSENES, EVEN THE GNOSTIC ESSENES WERE EVER "TRINITARIANS" IN THE SENSE DECIDED ON BY THE CHRISTIAN BISHOPS AT NICAEA ----

HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOT YET REACHED THE END OF ELLEN HARMON's FIRST VISION -- SEVERAL THINGS HAPPEN, AND THEN SHE MENTIONS THE "HOLY GHOST" BY NAME -- USING "PESHER" TECHNIQUE, THIS MEANS A REAPPEARANCE OF THIS EARLIER REVIVAL!

EARLY WRITINGS page 15

     "Soon we heard the Voice of God like many waters, which gave us the day and hour of Jesus' coming.   The living saints, 144,000 in number, knew and understood the voice, while the wicked thought it was thunder and an earthquake."

     These 2 sentences are what separates the two Pentecostal Revivals, and by understanding what they mean, I, Bob Holt, become the prophetic equivalent of the "living 144,000 saints" -- the one who "knew and understood the voice" (although I must admit that I didn't when God "spoke" on August 18, 1945.)  The "voice" was the sound of two atomic bombs being exploded at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan.  "like many waters" has three meanings 1)" voice of Lord Shiva" (through whose hair traditionally in India flows the "many waters of the Ganges River") and 2) "the Pacific ocean" ("many waters" of our largest ocean separating us in the United States from these two explosions in Japan) and 3) "Hydrogen" bombs, and "Heavy Water" (these are two of a number of terms associated at that time with these atomic bombs).

    "When God (Lord Shiva -- the Indian God with the Ganges flowing through His hair) spoke the time (Aug. 6, 1945, 8:16 AM), He poured out upon us (American Pentecostals NOT SDAs), the Holy Ghost, and our faces began to light up and shine with the glory of God, (two meanings 1) In India, Shiva devotees mark their foreheads with the "third eye" mark, showing their ability to "see" spiritually, and "feel" rapture, and 2) in the USA, this represents the "Holiness Movement and Churches", as Moses' did when he came down from Mount Sinia." (The mention of Moses here adds another dimension to the meaning.  Moses when he came down from the mountain led ancient Israel to the promised land.  The explosion of the Atomic bombs allowed modern Israel to return to their "promised land" after May 14-15, 1948.)   

    (The new Pentecostal revival began with the return of Israel to the Holy Land, and lasted, symbolically at least, until 1988 and later (40+ years).  In 1988-1989, Jimmy Swaggart confessed that he had "sinned", Christ failed to appear only to His followers on a cloud as expected, and the "Secret Raptured" did not occur.   The "Late Great Planet Earth" (Hal Lindsay) still rotated as usual, and seedtime and harvest continued unabated. More important perhaps to our present discussion, Ellen Harmon's 1844 vision continued also.

 

 a "NEW AGE" OF RELIGIOUS TOLERATION!

     "The 144,000 were all sealed and perfectly united.  On their foreheads was written, God, New Jerusalem, and a glorious star containing Jesus' new name.  At our happy, holy state the wicked were enraged, and would rush violently up to lay hands on us to thrust us into prison, when we would stretch forth the hand in the name of the Lord, and they would fall helpless to the ground.   Then it was that the synagogue of Satan knew that God had loved us who could wash one another's feet,  and salute each other with a holy kiss, and they worshipped at our feet."  

     It was not until yesterday, June 13, 2011, that I really looked at this part of Ellen Harmon's first vision close enough and critically enough to understand and interpret it.  The impediment to understanding was the repetition here of the 144,000 which I had decided by now meant the Jews that survived the Jewish holocaust of the 1930s and 1940s.   Here the meaning has reverted back to the Essenes.   Although most Seventh-day Adventists are now orthodox Trinitarians, and disqualified thereby from being classified as Essenes, Jesus is here using another quality of the Essenes, the toleration within their group of a number of different beliefs and indeed whole sects (Pharisees, Sadducees, Zealots, Samaritans, Magians, Therapeautae, Gnostics, and perhaps others) treating them all as legitimate and their brothers and sisters.  This knowledge (relatively unknown in present scholarship) is the key to understanding the entire above paragraph of Ellen Harmon's December 1844 vision.

"The 144,000 --"

(who like the Essenes of  Qumran of Jesus' day were compassionate and tolerant of the beliefs of other religious groups and sects within their number)

"were all sealed"

(like the present-day Hindus had the "Mark" on their fore-heads indicating spiritual openness and the ability to perceive "new light" as non-threatening and potentially useful)

"and perfectly UNITED."

(perfectly united meaning "united in diversity" -- "ALL ONE", almost the direct opposite of the "imperfectly united" meaning the Roman Catholic Church has tried to impose on other Christians for 2000 years.  United in compassion and tolerance, not in dogmatism and intolerance.

"On their foreheads was written--"

(as in 666 on their foreheads!)

"God"

(as in the Hindu god Lord Shiva's third eye)

"New Jerusalem"

(the Essene designation for Qumran)

"and a glorious star containing

Jesus' new name--"

(Here's Jesus sitting on his throne in Kashmir wearing

a crown of stars reigning from 25 AD to 49 AD under 

the new name to us of Meghavahana.  He later ruled

 again under another new name to us of Pravarasena I.)

"At our happy, holy state 

the  wicked were enraged --"

(there's no RAGE like that of religious intolerance, the RAGE that 

built the fires of the inquisition!)

and would rush violently up to lay hands

 on us to thrust us into prison, 

when we would stretch forth the hand 

in the name of the Lord, and 

they would fall helpless to the ground.  

Then it was that the synagogue of Satan 

knew that God had loved us 

who could wash one another's feet, 

 and salute each other with holy kiss, 

 

and they worshipped at our feet."  

 After the  Pentecostals, -- the Jewish Holocaust!

After the  Jewish Holocaust -- New Nation of Israel!

2 Pentecostal Revivals, not just one!
