Head of the Year | Hebrew Year 5782-5786: A 5- Year Prophetic Outlook (2022-2026) Are these the End Times?

In March 2020, I heard the Lord say, ‘You have three years until it begins.’ That was near the end of the Hebrew Year 5780, the first year of the Decade of Pey – The Decade of the Mouth. For those of you who don’t already know, the Head of the Hebrew Year begins each September on the Feast of Rosh Hashanah. For more understanding of this significance, I suggest you begin reading here. March was also nearing the beginning of the Hebrew Year 5781 – A Year to Widen Your Mouth in Silence, and the year that a pandemic not only shut down the world, but it threatened to shut down the Church. In the year that followed, Silence took on a profoundly new meaning, and so did the idea of widening one’s mouth. So what is beginning? After experiencing this past year, could it really be the beginning of the end?

Like all the Spiritual Gifts, prophecy is a tool given to the Church for the equipping of the saints to help Jesus build His Church, by which the Kingdom of God will come to earth. It is meant to exhort, edify and console the saints in the work of salvation instituted by Jesus Christ himself through his work on the Cross.

We are told in the Scriptures that Jesus’ Kingdom is not a physical kingdom that can be seen with our eyes in the form of buildings and governments and currency. “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’,” Luke 17:20. Rather, Jesus tells us as he told Pilate, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world,” (John 18:36). Jesus further explains in Luke 17:21, “the kingdom of God is within you.”

Many people are still looking today for Jesus’ Kingdom in the same way the Pharisees were looking for it to come in Jesus’ day. They take upon themselves the burden of transforming the physical plain into a Heavenly reality without taking into consideration more carefully Jesus’ actual words, “the kingdom of God is within you.” Some translations render this to mean, the kingdom of God is in your midst, or among you. Most theologians agree, however you translate it, Jesus is clearly indicating the Kingdom of God is a matter of the heart. For the time being, Christ’s kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36). One day, however, the kingdom of God will be manifest on the earth (Isaiah 35:1), and Jesus Christ will rule a physical kingdom from David’s throne (Isaiah 9:7) with Jerusalem as His capital (Zechariah 8:3). What is clear is that the physical coming of the Kingdom of God will come, on earth as it is in Heaven, but not until the Day of the Second Coming of Christ or possibly in some measure through His Divine Visitation during the Era of Peace, as some prophecies of the Church speculate. Until the Kingdom of the Divine Will is fully manifested, it’s up to the saints to continue to build up Christ’s Church on earth, which Jesus began building upon ‘the Rock’ called Peter (Matthew 16:18), and primarily first, in the heart before it can be seen in the hands and feet. To do this, the Church needs the power and love of the Holy Spirit and all His gifts.

Prophecy, we are told in the Book of the Apocalypse, is not just for the unbelieving (1 Corinthians 14:22) but also for the believer to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches (Rev. 2:29; 3:22).

In that same vein, the Holy Spirit has been speaking through the prophets since the time of the Old Testament. Chuck Pierce and Robert Heidler explain in their book A Time to Advance:Understanding the Significance of the Hebrew Tribes and Months how the Tribe of Issachar was charged with knowing the times and season, which we can still glean much wisdom through today. Just as the Spirit worked through the prophets of old, He continues to work through the New Testament prophets today. If you’re wondering who these prophets are today, I invite you to read up on a little-known prayer of Moses in my article “Would that you All were prophets.”

Now, none of this current crisis [in the Church and in the world] is even a little bit surprising to those who have been taking trustworthy private revelation seriously. And by trustworthy I mean trustworthy; I do not mean approved — all approved private revelation is trustworthy, but not all trustworthy private revelation is already fully approved (and every now approved private revelation was once unapproved, and only became approved due to courageous faithful willing to take it seriously despite its lack of approval). The problem is, incredibly few Christians, especially fundamentalist and Catholics, take trustworthy private revelation seriously: they’ve been told by career lay apologists, for decades now, that private revelation doesn’t matter; unless perhaps it’s already fully Vatican approved, in which case it matters perhaps a little bit, but still shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Sadly, such commentary from the shepherds is grossly misleading since even the Catholic Church in its Catechism recognizes private revelations as a “helpful tool in living out more fully the mission of Jesus Christ.”

“Throughout the ages, there have been so-called ‘private’ revelations, some of which have been recognized by the authority of the Church… It is not their role to complete Christ’s definitive Revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, Paragraph No. 67).

In From Fatima to Medjugorje | What EVERY Believer Ought to Know About the Prophecies of Our Times, I note two major distinctions on the subject for those who are still on the fence. These distinctions are taken straight from the Catechism:

1. The authority of private revelations is essentially different from that of the definitive public Revelation. The latter demands faith; in it in fact God himself speaks to us through human words and the mediation of the living community of the Church. Faith in God and in his word is different from any other human faith, trust or opinion. The certainty that it is God who is speaking gives me the assurance that I am in touch with truth itself. It gives me a certitude which is beyond verification by any human way of knowing. It is the certitude upon which I build my life and to which I entrust myself in dying. 

2. Private revelation is a help to this faith, and shows its credibility precisely by leading me back to the definitive public Revelation. In this regard, Cardinal Prospero Lambertini, the future Pope Benedict XIV, says in his classic treatise, which later became normative for beatifications and canonizations: “An assent of Catholic faith is not due to revelations approved in this way; it is not even possible. These revelations seek rather an assent of human faith in keeping with the requirements of prudence, which puts them before us as probable and credible to piety”. The Flemish theologian E. Dhanis, an eminent scholar in this field, states succinctly that ecclesiastical approval of a private revelation has three elements: the message contains nothing contrary to faith or morals; it is lawful to make it public; and the faithful are authorized to accept it with prudence (E. Dhanis,Sguardo su Fatima e bilancio di una discussione, in La Civiltà Cattolica 104 [1953], II, 392-406, in particular 397). Such a message can be a genuine help in understanding the Gospel and living it better at a particular moment in time; therefore it should not be disregarded. It is a help which is offered, but which one is not obliged to use. The criterion for the truth and value of a private revelation is therefore its orientation to Christ himself. When it leads us away from him, when it becomes independent of him or even presents itself as another and better plan of salvation, more important than the Gospel, then it certainly does not come from the Holy Spirit, who guides us more deeply into the Gospel and not away from it. 

This does not mean that a private revelation will not offer new emphases or give rise to new devotional forms, or deepen and spread older forms. But in all of this there must be a nurturing of faith, hope and love, which are the unchanging path to salvation for everyone.” 

Indeed, what is transpiring now is scarcely a foreshock of what is soon coming — those who follow trustworthy private revelation know that, too. Neither this, nor what is soon to come is a mystery to them. Nor is what must be done a mystery to them.

So instead of more armchair commentary on what everyone already knows, allow me to present to you something I believe will allow you to speculate and ponder more intimately on what we do not know yet.

But before you continue reading, I must warn you, you must know yourself. And if you are one to be distracted from what is good and holy by speculation, then being rid of it is the right thing for you to do, and you should stop reading this post now. These prophetic words are for the mature in hearing. You know who you are. And I do to. You’re the person who actually read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of last year’s prophetic review because you’re actually seeking Truth and not just answers. You realize God is not a Magic 8-ball but the fulfillment of all your desires. A healthy dose of speculation, rather than distracting you, instead truly inspires you to be more zealous for what is good and true (your own sanctification and the evangelization of the world). So then it would be absurd to cast what is said below aside as a “distraction.” What is a distraction except that which leads you further away from God? I can assure you the following will lead you much closer to Him.

These words from the Lord were given to me during an hour of visitation and adoration before His Presence. I added the bracketed text with bible verses after, when I went back to test the word. Do I believe that these words have to come to pass? No, I believe in the sovereignty of God to execute His Divine Will perfectly apart from what He reveals to us. I think the Church received a healthy dose of this understanding after last year’s “prophets” were a bit too zealous to proclaim with certainty a certain Cyrus’s role in our world affairs, even a presidential certitude of victory that was not granted. Were the prophets wrong in what they heard? Perhaps the better question in these matters is, Were the prophets fully surrendered to the Will of God?

Please remember, no matter how dark the world may appear to us with our physical eyes, it is important that we always submit ourselves to see with Our Heavenly Father’s eyes the grace that is still far greater than any works of darkness and is being poured out lavishly upon us. For we have not inherited a Kingdom made of stone but one that is currently seated in Heavenly places, having all authority over what is seen and unseen. It is a Kingdom of the Father’s Divine Will, not our own will, and we are blessed to be partakers in it. In all things, let the declaration of our hearts be: Jesus I trust in you!

It is with this same faith in God and His Divine Will, and with a watchman-like speculation, that I submit to you the following prophetic outlook for the coming years ahead.

5782/2022- The Year a House Divided in the Mouth will not stand

And I heard the Lord say, “This year will bring turmoil for many.

Divisions between Father and son, Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will flourish [Matthew 10:35]. Only houses where peace is at the hearth will survive the carnage.

Lies, disputes of the tongue will be rampant. People will find themselves seeing one thing and saying another. The tongue will be divided from the heart. The mouth will be far from the Kingdom home.

Only an increase in the virtue of faith will help people ascend to other virtues in these days.

“I say to you the Kingdom of God is within you…let not your mouth keep you from entering the Kingdom.” [Ecclesiastes 5:2-4] (Do not be lukewarm or I will cast you out of My mouth. [Rev. 3:16])

The tongue is a rudder which steers the ship [James 3:1-11]. Watch what you say in these days lest you divide yourself from faith in the Kingdom and steer yourself astray… Woe to those who will steer others astray by the words of their false testimony.

I say again, a House Divided will fall [Mark 3:25; Matthew 12:22-28].

Those who will cause division are not from the House of God [1 Corinthians 1:10]. Let your heart be undivided in these days. Stay close to Truth. Speak the Truth of My House and peace shall enter in.

“Say to the owner ‘Shalom be with you’ and if it returns to you shake the dust off your feet.” [Matthew 10:13; Luke 5]

Just as in the temple, my sheep know to whom they belong [John 10:14-28]. Find comfort in the ways of My House and hold true to its traditions [2 Thessalonians 2:15]. Know your way in My House, as a true son and daughter, all my inheritance is for you [Luke 15:31].

Speak, open your mouth, with the authority of My House and it will be done for you [John 15:7].

Welcome the sojourners and the lost sheep who seek to enter My House. Sound the cry from your mouth, “Come Home!” [Leviticus 19:34; Matthew 25:31-40]

“For I have called you by name and you are Mine.” [Isaiah 43:1]

Come Home, My Beloved Children, Come Home!” [The Prodigal Sons]

By the Numbers - The number 2 in Hebrew is symbolized in the Hebrew letter 'bet'. Two represents duality and plurality. This illusory duality of Truth regarding a response to the pandemic will crescendo through the end of 2021. Bet is also the picture symbol of a tent or place of dwelling, a house. This will be a year of habitation for the Church. The time of the Church vs. the Anti-Church. In houses of worship that dwell in His Presence, they will become Houses of Glory and Encounter (Is. 56:7). It is written, My house is a House of prayer but you have made it a den of thieves! This will be a year of building up the house and securing the gates from thieves who would enter over the wall. Prophetic gifts will flourish. The prophets will speak out. Just as there was a division over whether to wear masks, there will be an even stronger division over whether to vaccinate. It will appear as though there are two truths to every side but remember that there is only one Truth. Whereas, in the last year 5781, we saw more unity in the alliance for Truth, 5782 will see a division against the true Church, both from within and outside its walls. Just as in the Tent of Meeting the priests were divided from the congregation, so too will those who are called to more hiddeness and intimacy with the Lord be divided from the world. This will be a year of great sifting. In Hebrew tradition, the first use of the letter bet in Scripture is in Genesis 'Bereshit'. Bereshit means new beginnings. Creation too is a tent. It will begin to renew itself in the sifting and the shaking. There will be many natural and man-made calamities as Creation responds to the division of men. Trust in His ways, speak faith, no matter how bad the aftermath of destructive forces make things look. This year is also a Shmita year, part of the seven-year cycle of rest where land is given over to rest and debts are forgiven. In short, it’s a year of renewal for both man and creation. We are going to be stepping into the fullness of times, a New Pentecost will come as the 10-fold ministry flourishes. Whenever there is a flourishing there is also a time of crushing. Seek after virtues and a counsel of wisdom. Cultivate a habitat of prayer and presence wherever your spirit dwells. The earth is God's tent. He created it to be his resting place. To rest in God is to cultivate a life of scripture study, prayer and charity. Our Lady has been admonishing us, her Apostles of Love, to do those very things to make reparations for the world in her apparitions in Medjugorje and elsewhere. Those who have developed a sense for seeing what the Spirit is saying will be more confident in the days ahead then those who have only learned to see with their physical eyes. Remember, we have little control over others houses, but we do have complete control over our own. Wherever you have influence over a household, you have mission to make it like your own by calling others up to a greater vision for their own. Speak wisely as serpents, and gentle as doves.

The serpent spewed a torrent of water out of his mouth after the woman to sweep her away with the current… (Revelation 12:15)

I think that the [torrent of water] is easily interpreted: these are the currents that dominate all and wish to make faith in the Church disappear, the Church that seems no longer to have a place in the face of the force of these currents that impose themselves as the only rationality, as the only way to live.

—POPE BENEDICT XVI, Meditation at Special Assembly for the Middle East of the Synod of Bishops, October 11th, 2010; vatican.va  

And we hear today the groaning as no one has ever heard it before… Pope [John Paul II] does indeed cherish a great expectation that the millennium of divisions will be followed by a millennium of unifications.

—Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (BENEDICT XVI), Salt of the Earth (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1997), translated by Adrian Walker

5783/2023- A Year of the Camel in the Mouth; Divine Fullness and Perfection

When I looked into the year that followed, I heard the Lord say regarding this year, “Storehouses of provision await you [Malachi 3:10]. Your mouth will not grow parched. I have plenty of Living Water stored up for you – water for your souls in this weary land and water for you to drink and pour out lavishly on those without [John 4:14; John 7:3-8].

My children will not thirst in this season if they open wide their mouths in faith and not only consume My storehouse but pour it out, a libation, for thirsty souls who will have grown emaciated around you – and yet envy your wealth in times of drought – for they know not of the hidden manna I have stored up for them in the wilderness [Revelation 2:17; John 6:48-51,58].

But you, My love, know not only of its wealth but where to find it. Feed my sheep, feed the hungry, feed them My storehouse of bread and wine. Let not your mouths run dry. For this season will not be lacking for My righteous ones living in the desert. Let your mouths proclaim the goodness of the Lord!

You will find Me, a watering hole, in the midst of a dry and weary land [John 4].”

By the Numbers - The number three is represented in Hebrew by the letter 'gimmel'. The power of the number three is its ability to combine two contrast­ing forces—to bring about integration. This year will see a powerful move to unite body and spirit, and all those who have been at odds over these past few years. However, remember this is the decade of the mouth, most of the unity will likely be in words only, but there will be extensive ground covered though a physical manifestation of such unity will not be apparent this year. For those who were paying attention to the pillars of the tent in 2022, they will pursue unity through charity and works of mercy, while much of the world will try to pursue unity by requiring sameness and political continuity between nations. Gimmel is also a picture symbol of camel or a man connected to earth with a long neck. Our provision as sons and daughters of God is first spiritual. The Lord has more than supplied us with sufficient grace to face the challenges to authentic unity in these days. However, our provision is also physical, and we will see that despite the challenges the world will face, the people of God will flourish and never go hungry. Their shelter, clothing and food will be more than provided for such that out of charity the sons and daughters of God will bless those who are not yet fully adopted. Gimmel has several meanings including "to nourish until ripe" and "to be weaned." This is the concept of gimmel; the blending of disparate ele­ments into a harmonious whole. Just as the gimmel signifies the connection between the poor and the wealthy person, so does it represent the merger, the bridge, between the material world and the reality of God. Prophet, open your mouth wide and let the Lord fill it with His charity!

It is also interesting to note that scientists recently announced a collision of two stars will be able to be seen by the naked eye for the first time in recorded history near the end of 2022 or early 2023. For those of you familiar with the Warning (or “Illumination of Conscience”) prophesied at Garabandal, you may recall that the seer, Conchita, specifically said, decades ago, that “The Warning would be like two stars colliding.” If the convergence is one and the same, then it would make even more sense the Lord would be asking us to keep faith while doing the important work of feeding his sheep. If stars colliding don’t give you pause for speculation then perhaps asteroid collisions will. In the Fall of this same year, NASA will be testing its asteroid redirection strategy DART on two asteroids said to be 6.8 billion miles from earth. The hope is to prove that in the event of a near earth impact, DART can successfully redirect an asteroid. They will test this theory by launching a spacecraft into a smaller asteroid orbiting a larger one causing a collision with enough impact to redirect the asteroid off its orbital course. You can read more about this totally safe idea brought to you by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his Blue Origin space company in my recent blog Al Gore, Amazon, Asteroids and the Apocalypse. No matter what sets it off, the Warning is said to spark a new wave of conversion, on par with Bob Jone's prophesied Billion-Soul Harvest. Many seers have said lines for confession will be so long that priests won't have time to use the bathroom or eat if it weren't for merciful souls that bring them sandwiches in those days. For those new to this prophecy of a coming “Warning,” I recommend the works of Mark Mallett. You could start here, and here.

Since they do not admit that one can defend an objective criterion of good and evil, they arrogate to themselves an explicit or implicit totalitarian power over man and his destiny, as history shows. —POPE JOHN PAUL II, Centesimus annus, n. 45, 46

A third powerful factor in the diffusion of Communism is the conspiracy of silence on the part of a large section of the non-Catholic press of the world. We say conspiracy, because it is impossible otherwise to explain how a press usually so eager to exploit even the little daily incidents of life has been able to remain silent for so long about the horrors perpetrated… —POPE PIUS XI, Divini Redemptoris, n. 18; www.vatican.va

…we have lost all common sense and as a result we are losing our religious freedom. — “Stop the Shot” Conference, August 4th, 2021; lifesitenews.com

5784/2024- A Year to Behold a door in the Heavens, I Am the door – Open Wide Your Mouth; invite Heaven to Earth!

I then peered into the year to follow, and I heard the Lord saying, “I will stand at the door and knock [Revelation 3:20]. Open your mouth and let others enter in thru My door [John 10:9-16].

Your words will be an invitation to many in this hour.

Allow Me to speak through you in these days. Wherever one knocks, open your door and give them bread from Heaven, no matter the hour [Luke 11:5-13].

We have much to do. The Harvest is vast [Matthew 9:35-37] and My hour is near [Revelation 3:10-11].

Be an open door, open your mouth and speak from My doorway.

“Speak things into existence as though they were already.” [*this is a reference to Living in the Divine Will and not to be taken literally without discernment. See here.]

Let yourself be My mouthpiece in this hour [Exodus 4:16; Jeremiah 15:10; Habakkuk 2:1]. For you will speak Heavens words into earth.”

By the Numbers - The number four is represented by the Hebrew letter 'dalet'. The power of four lies in its connection with the Four Matriarchs of Judaism: Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel and Leah. Mothers are seen as the developer of creation, the father the potential. While she is not the initiator of the seed, she is the receiver and also the developer. Mothers in a sense, take the potential of the world and actualize it into reality. We see this most clearly in the Blessed Virgin Mary, who through her fiat (her receptivity to grace) receives the seed of God, nourishes it, waters its growth, and then sends it forth at the time of its ripening. She is the humble and poor handmaiden of the Lord. Symbolically, the dalet represents the poor person. When we observe the shape of the dalet, its single leg stretches toward the right—in the direction of the gimmel. This teaches the poor person that he or she has to make himself available to receive the charity of the benefactor, like Mary humbled herself to receive the Lord. Similarly, the small extension on the right-hand side of the dalet’s horizontal bar looks like an ear, for the pauper must always be listening for the presence of the wealthy man, like Mary had her ear bent to hear the Spirit of the Lord at work through the angel. However the left side of this bar doesn’t confront the gimmel, the giver, but faces left, toward the letter hei, which represents God. This instructs us that we must give charity discretely and not embarrass the poor person, similar to how Mary turns to Jesus for help at the wedding as not to embarrass the newlyweds. The pauper must put his faith in God, Who is the ultimate Giver of the universe. A second approach to the form or design of the dalet is that the dalet represents a doorpost and a lintel. The vertical line is the doorpost; the horizontal line is the lintel. What is the con­nection between the door and the poor man? A poor man must knock on doors. This year is a perfect picture type of Mary for us to follow. If we will remain open to the will of the Lord, we will be able to meet the needs of the poor in spirit this year, by reminding them of Heaven's reality over us and the perfect Will of our Heavenly Father. In times of great tribulation, anxiety, and confusion, it was the Matriarchs of Israel who helped God's Will to be received and nurtured into fulfillment. The advancement of the kingdom will rest in a particular way on Mothers this year. If you've never pondered before the regenerative power of grace through Mary's Motherhood, I highly encourage you to read this book and to make the Seven Sorrows of Mary part of your daily devotion to prepare your soul for the burdens of this year.

The principal new feature has been the explosion of worldwide interdependence, commonly known as globalization… without the guidance of charity in truth, this global force could cause unprecedented damage and create new divisions within the human family.

—POPE BENEDICT XVI, Caritas in Veritate, n. 33

5785/2025- A Year to Open the Window and Breathe; God’s Grace is Enough

As I looked with trepidation into the next year, I heard the Lord say these words in an exhortation of courage and comfort, “In this day, I will pour out My consolation [Isaiah 44:3,Ezekiel 39:29,Joel 2:28-29]. My Spirit shall renew your Breath [Psalm 104:30].

You needn’t be anxious or do anything to gain it. My Renewal is for all, and all My Children will be refreshed.

I have given you all power to overcome [Luke 10:19].

Find Me in the Silence and just breathe [Ecclesiastes 9:17].”

By the Numbers - The number five is represented by the Hebrew letter 'hei'. Hei is a picture symbol of a window and often associated with the wind or breath because of it's power to animate thought into speech. Hei reminds us that on a spirit level, we are all equal and without disability. I believe we will see persecution of the body and thought this year, in ways that will cause much anxiety for those who do not know how to look for God's grace. Our Lord's words are a consolation to us who know where to find Him. He is offering encouragement to us in these days to learn to receive more of His Spirit so that in His Spirit we too can overcome the world. We may be out numbered in body, but in the spirit nothing is impossible for God to do through us. I believe this will be a year of many miracles, signs and wonders because the Spirit will prove himself in the world through those who are willing to breathe Him in. The renewal is for all is a reference to the fact that God's Spirit was poured out on all flesh, so too His comfort and consolation during a time that may seem daunting and without rest in the battle. He has shown us where to find him, in the Silence, and that we can come away with him in those moments to be refreshed for the next day's battle.

It’s our very sleepiness to the presence of God that renders us insensitive to evil: we don’t hear God because we don’t want to be disturbed, and so we remain indifferent to evil.

—POPE BENEDICT XVI, Catholic News Agency, Vatican City, Apr 20, 2011, General Audience

5786/2026 – A Year where Narrow is the Gate & Few Find Me; Tread lightly with your words

Peering down the tunnel of Time, I saw the portal narrowing, what was beyond this season was darkened to my eyes. I heard the Lord speak these words as the last of the images for this year of 2026 began to flip by me like an album one only wishes to scan through and not remember. He said, “I am the connecting pin between Heaven & Earth [John 1:51].

In this season, allow Me to bring Divine connections in your mouth [Proverbs 11:9]. You will speak from a place of clarity against the confusion. Many will have their hearts illuminated because you choose to be faithful in your words [Jeremiah 23:28].

“A man’s words honor him, without his honor a man is nothing.” [Ecclesiastes 5:4-7; Matthew 5:33-37]

Words bring life or death. Connect hearts with right words. Practice virtue as much as possible [Proverbs 11:3]. For in this day, men will no longer remember what you have done but only what you have brought to earth by the confession of your mouth [Matthew 24:35].

Vav Heaven and Earth by declaring My Kingdom Come! My Will be done! On earth as it is in Heaven [Matthew 6:10].

Let your ‘Yes’ be Heaven’s ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be Heaven’s ‘No! [Matthew 5:3-7]’ Many will not escape persecution for their words will lack conviction… and they will be convicted by their own tongues [Matthew 12:36-37].

The end of all things draws near… [1 Peter 4:7]”

By the Numbers - The number six is represented by the Hebrew letter 'vav'. Vav is the picture symbol of a connecting pin or hook, much like a railroad tie or the nails they used to crucify Jesus to the cross. It's numeric power of six is said to refer to the time of fulfillment, there were 6 days to Creation. It is generally associated with man as being created on the 6th day. While the design of the vav looks like a hook, the word vav actually means “hook.” A hook is something that holds two things together. It is also a means to connect the spiritual and the physical. Jesus connected Heaven to Earth when he was literally hooked to the cross. The 6th Millennium is said to be the last millennium before the fulfillment of the Messianic Kingdom comes in Hebrew Year 6000, approximately 218 years from now. However, a recent revelation in the temple period dating has a few Rabbis adjusting the countdown to as near as 2076. The Jews aren't the only ones to speculate the coming of the kingdom. Jesus revealed to the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta in a vision that he had renewed the world 3 times, first in the initial 2,000 years with a Deluge, the second 2,000 years with his coming, and he will renew these last 2,000 years with another renewal. For many, this seems to confirm that 2033 would be the beginning of the third renewal, exactly 2,000 years from his coming. However, many modern revisionist scholars claim that our calendar is likely off a few years, and Jesus was likely born several years before 0 A.D. They usually cite the prophetic visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, one of the greatest mystics and visionaries in Church History (Mel Gibson based much of the movie "The Passion" off her visions). This holy woman specifically wrote that “Christ was born seven years and a portion of a year earlier than according to our reckoning.” (Anne Catherine Emmerich, The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, pages 126-127). If she is right — and I have no reason to doubt that she is — then Redemption itself actually occurred in the year 26 A.D. making 2026 the likely start of a third renewal. Throw in the Medjugorje visitations and the speculations surrounding the likelihood of the 10 Secrets outliving their appointed mortal announcer, who is in his 80s, and it's a good probability that somewhere in the next decade life on earth is going to get very interesting. Perhaps this is what the Lord meant in saying, The end of all things is near.... What is definitely clear to me, however, and hopefully to you as well, is the preparation we must undertake to make sure our souls are in a state of grace to not only bear the burden of the years ahead but to be a light to others. It is clear that our words are our bonds connecting our life here to an eternal life in heaven. A time will come where what you have promised will be accounted for. Every Christian at their Baptism has made certain baptismal vows. How will you respond in the days ahead? Will you prove yourself trustworthy by keeping your word. Only the Lord knows.

Because I love you, I want to show you what I am doing in the world today. I want to prepare you for what is to come. Days of darkness are coming on the world, days of tribulation… Buildings that are now standing will not be standing. Supports that are there for my people now will not be there. I want you to be prepared, my people, to know only me and to cleave to me and to have me in a way deeper than ever before. I will lead you into the desert… I will strip you of everything that you are depending on now, so you depend just on me. A time of darkness is coming on the world, but a time of glory is coming for my Church, a time of glory is coming for my people. I will pour out on you all the gifts of my Spirit. I will prepare you for spiritual combat; I will prepare you for a time of evangelism that the world has never seen…. And when you have nothing but me, you will have everything: land, fields, homes, and brothers and sisters and love and joy and peace more than ever before. Be ready, my people, I want to prepare you…

—Our Lord Jesus to Ralph Martin, St. Peter’s Square, Rome, Pentecost Monday of May, 1975

I don’t know why the Lord did not go on in our time together to discuss the remaining years of the decade of Pey. Perhaps he knew I was not spiritually prepared to handle it all yet. Maybe it’s simply not for me to know yet. Whatever his reason, when I went back to test the word I found myself permitted to write place holders for each year and a brief headline it would seem sums up what he has to say about them for now. I’m providing them to you below, along with By the Number links, should you desire to study them on your own. If I get anything further from the Lord to share, I will update them here.

In the meantime, I encourage you to print this article out and keep it in your Bible as a reference tool for the days ahead. Look up the scriptures associated with the word and allow the Lord to help you meditate more fully on how they might pertain to you. The burden of prophecy to deliver the word accurately is upon the watchman, but the burden remains upon the hearer of the word to test it and watch over it to come to pass. Watch and pray (Matthew 26:41; Luke 21:36).

5787/2027 – A Year the Mouth is a Weapon, Know when to Cut it Off; when to use it for Spiritual Protection

By the Numbers - The number seven is represented by the Hebrew letter 'zayin'. It takes the form of a sword. The top of the zayin is the handle, and the vertical leg is the blade. Another interpretation of the zayin’s design is that it represents a crown and a scepter. The zayin thus alludes to power and authority. The numerical value of the letter zayin is seven. Seven repre­sents the seventh day of the week, which is Shabbos. It is the day God rested. The name zayin literally means 'crown'. This number in the decade of pey alludes to the awareness that we have authority in our mouth. What we speak under the authority of God is not only binding but it also breaks chains and releases captives. We can expand our authority simply by speaking right words. Whatever dominion God has granted to you, it's yours to command in this season in preparation for the coming Kingdom Reign. Use your authority and your words wisely. Continue to speak life.

Who can compare with the beast or who can fight against it? (Rev 13:4)

My older daughter sees many beings good and bad [angels] in battle. She has spoken many times about how its an all out war and its only getting bigger and the different kinds of beings. Our Lady appeared to her in a dream last year as our Lady of Guadalupe. She told her that the demon coming is larger and fiercer than all the others. That she is not to engage this demon nor listen to it. It was going to try to take over the world. This is a demon of fear. It was a fear that my daughter said was going to envelop everyone and everything. Staying close to the Sacraments and Jesus and Mary are of the utmost importance. —from Hell Unleashed

5788/2028 – A Year to Put up a Fence around your Heart and Remain in Me

By the Numbers - The number eight is represented by the Hebrew letter 'chet'. The meaning of chet is 'life'. This word is a picture type of a marital canopy or chuppah. Chet is thoroughly associated with marriage and life. In a letter to Pope John Paul II, Sister Lucia, one of the only surviving seers from the Fatima visitation wrote: "'The final battle between the Lord and the kingdom of Satan will be about Marriage and the Family.' Don't be afraid, she added, because whoever works for the sanctity of Marriage and the Family will always be fought against and opposed in every way, because this is the decisive issue. Then she concluded: 'nevertheless, Our Lady has already crushed his head'." It’s no secret there is an all-out attack against marriage. Many Christian youth today continue to live in states of pre-marital immorality and even condone the use of artificial birth control. Fornication in television and movies has desensitized people from the harmful effects of such a life lived in sexual idolatry. Poor choices and a habitation of sin lend toward poor decisions in spouses and pre-mature unions, which often lead to divorce and the further breakdown of the family and society. People are seen as a use for physical needs rather than as sacred beings meant for partnership and holiness. An unhealthy hyper-obsession of the occult has led even well-meaning Christians to over-emphasize the demonic influences of Jezebel and Lilith as the scapegoat reality of a fallen race. A toxic femininity has thus arisen. The irony lies therein that even these demons are not female. Angels are androgynous. So to the fallen ones. The assault is on both male and female humans. Marriage is the canopy that encircles them together to fight as one. Hence, put up a fence. An assault on marriage is an assault on all mankind. This year will see an assault like we’ve never seen. We need to draw our battle lines. The answer to winning the fight for ourselves and our loved ones lies in understanding why God puts enmity between the woman and the serpent and not man and the serpent. I highly recommend this book for those who seek understanding. 

Humanity today offers us a truly alarming spectacle, if we consider not only how extensively attacks on life are spreading but also their unheard-of numerical proportion, and the fact that they receive widespread and powerful support from a broad consensus on the part of society, from widespread legal approval and the involvement of certain sectors of health-care personnel… with time the threats against life have not grown weaker. They are taking on vast proportions. They are not only threats coming from the outside, from the forces of nature or the “Cains” who kill the “Abels”; no, they are scientifically and systematically programmed threats… In this way a kind of “conspiracy against life” is unleashed…. In today’s cultural and social context, in which science and the practice of medicine risk losing sight of their inherent ethical dimension, health-care professionals can be strongly tempted at times to become manipulators of life, or even agents of death.

—POPE ST JOHN PAUL II, Evangelium Vitae, n. 17, 16, 12, 89

5789/2029- A Year for Temptations to come, but lift up the serpent on the cross and I will surround you and heal all your wounds

By the Numbers - The number nine is represented by the Hebrew letter 'tes'. The design of the tes is like a pot, a vessel with an inverted rim, representing hidden or inverted good. Another interpreta­tion of the tes is that it represents a man bending his head to God in prayer and thanks. How are the two connected? We just explained the letter chet as representing the concept of mar­riage. After the union between husband and wife, then, God willing, there’s a conception. The tes represents the hidden good that resides within the womb (the vessel) of the mother. This hidden good is actualized through a person’s prayers to God, asking Him for a healthy child. It's no surprise that the number itself is associated with 9 months of pregnancy and is known as a true number. Like the good father who disciplines the one he loves, some trials are not understood until after the birthing. Much like marriage, sanctity of life is also under attack in a severe way. When we fail as a society to fully embrace the trials each of these can impose into a life, we also deny ourselves the truths we can learn from them. So many have denied themselves the gift of life that their souls are severely lacking for the journey home. Too many people are allowing fear to stop them from living the fullness of life. Whatever trials come in this year, remember fear is a liar. Never move in fear. Always move in peace and love and you can be assured you are on the right path. The Lord will guide you through the testing. He wants you to pass thru!

My child, the days have now become the hour in which a great many will stand before Me. A time when many will come to see what fear has brought them to. I have warned My children that I am not the God of fear, for I do not author such things. I am a God who speaks to the heart of My people and do not sow seeds of fear in their mind. I created each one of My children with the means necessary to live a mission on this earth, to be instruments of light and hope in this dark world. I have come to tell My children that the hour has come when you will say, where is my brother? where is my sister? The hour has come when you will desire to say the Chaplet of My Most Divine Mercy endlessly for the multitude that were not prepared to meet Me.

Wake up My children, for you are being deceived by the prince of darkness, the author of fear. You are being driven by a false promise. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, not to be silenced, manipulated, or depleted of My creation. This world is passing, yet too many are being complacent. It is time to prepare your soul, for the hour has come when I will warn mankind that his ways are not pleasing to Me… It is time to prepare and to warn those who have fallen asleep to the lies that they have fallen for. It is time to bind your rosaries and fall to your knees in humility, for I Am Jesus, and My mercy and justice will prevail.

5790/2030 – The Decade of the Tzaddik begins… The Fisherman Returns for a Catch; Leviathan will be hooked.

By the Numbers - The number 90 is represented by the Hebrew letter 'tzaddik'. The design of a tzaddik is a yud on top of the letter nun. One interpretation of the nun is that it stands for 'ona’ah', deceit and fraud. By nature, most of us have the misconception that it is the physical world that is the source of ultimate truth and pleasure. But the yud, or Divine intellect, is added to the nun to teach us that the material world is ephemeral, and not the source of consummate goodness and joy. Therefore there must be something truer and more Godly upon which to focus. This heightened intention is the essence of the tzaddik. The name "tzaddik" means "righteous one". The numerical equivalent of the letter tzaddik is ninety. In Ethics of Our Fathers it says: “When one reaches the age of ninety, one is bent over (lashuach).” On a physical level, this means that at ninety, a man is infirm and bowed with weak­ness. On a spiritual plane, it represents the concept of humility. When one reaches ninety, he has become so spiritual and humble that he bends over for God. He is no longer an inde­pendent character but an extension of God Himself. At the age of ninety, one has achieved a heightened level of prayer. He has the ability to feel a direct connection to God when he prays. Additionally, it is explained in the Midrash Shmuel that the word lashuach means “to pray constantly.” That connection is the foundation of a tzaddik. A tzaddik exists not for his own benefit, but to serve as an offshoot of God. We go to tzaddikim to pray on our behalf because we know that the prayers of the tzaddik will be answered. We can only hope this is a sign of tremendous glory for the righteous to come!

The Church is always called upon to do what God asked of Abraham, which is to see to it that there are enough righteous men to repress evil and destruction. 

—POPE BENEDICT XVI, Light of the World, p. 166, A Conversation With Peter Seewald (Ignatius Press)

Remember, Hebrew Gemantria and the study of Hebrew as a Heavenly symbolic language was never meant to be used as a type of sorcery. Absent the word of God which brings revelation and personal direction, anything true and good can be perverted and distorted by the devils. Be prayerful and discerning. Always test a prophetic word by bringing it back to God in your own prayer time and allowing Him to confirm it through ways you are familiar with in your relationship with Him. As with any good speculation about the future, the prophetic gifts too are a tool that ought to bring us closer to Him not divide us from His truths. We ought never to rely on something apart from God as though we could stand apart from Him and survive. We are always to lean on Him and trust Him to bring understanding. Lord, let all that is true in these words remain in us, and all that is not of you die like the fig tree never to bear fruit in thought or deed. Amen.

May God bless you and keep you dear friend, until the Day dawns…

Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Note that a man whom the Lords sends forth as a preacher is called a watchman. A watchman always stands on a height so that he can see from afar what is coming. Anyone appointed to be a watchman for the people must stand on a height for all his life to help them by his foresight. How hard it is for me to say this, for by these very words I denounce myself. I cannot preach with any competence, and yet insofar as I do succeed, still I myself do not live my life according to my own preaching. I do not deny my responsibility; I recognize that I am slothful and negligent, but perhaps the acknowledgment of my fault will win me pardon from my just judge.

—St. Gregory the Great, homily, Liturgy of the Hours, Vol. IV, p. 1365-66
