[Economist magazine cover] …What is interesting is that this event, as depicted on the Economist Magazine’s front cover, is associated with a heavenly sign involving the moon and the constellation Leo. Knowing now that September 23rd and the subsequent Feast days did not coincide with the Rapture, there remains one more conjunction in this series of heavenly markers that are associated with the Great Wonder in heaven as described to us in Revelation 12. This is the conjunction of Venus with Jupiter on 12-13 November. Several fellow watchmen have made videos about this final sign in the heavens and I would like to add this one additional piece of information. This would be the last significant sign that forms part of the birthing process as described to us in Revelation 12. It conforms to the timing described to us in Luke 2 and Matthew 2 where information relating to the timing of the flight of the Man Child, or Jesus in this case, was provided to us on which I posted an earlier article.

We know that Jesus was presented to the Lord in the Temple after at least 40 days of purification had passed as required by Leviticus 12.

Lev 12:2-4 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.

We also know that Joseph and Mary returned to Nazareth for a period of time after presenting Jesus, in the Temple after 40 days.

Luk 2:39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.

At this point, an angel appeared unto Joseph, telling him to flee and to bring Jesus back to Israel, only when Herod was dead.

Mat 2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

So at some point after Jesus and his parents returned to Nazareth (we are not given the exact timing or number of days), they fled to Egypt to escape the Red Dragon – or in this case, Herod.

When I looked at the position of the moon in relation to Leo this month and as depicted on the hermit card, shown on the front cover of the Economist Magazine, I found it very interesting to discover that this position matches the time at which Jupiter and Venus is in conjunction! This is part of the Revelation 12 sign in the heavens as it completes, but the Economist is not focusing on the importance of the Jupiter and Venus conjunction or the Head and the Body coming together, which is described to us in several passages in scripture:

Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church:  and He is the Savior of the body.

Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Col 2:19 And not holding the head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered,  and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

Jesus refers to himself as the Bright and Morning Star and we know that Jupiter represents the Body of Christ, or the Church.

Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

On November 12-13 Venus and Jupiter will be conjoined or “knitted together” and the moon will be at the tail of Leo as depicted on the enemy’s watch.

Why is Satan focusing on the tail of Leo and not the Head of the Body? I believe it is because of this passage and the fact that Satan is not the head, but the tail:

Deu 28:13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

Jesus also addresses the church of Thyatira in Revelation 2 where the overcomer is promised the Morning Star to rulership over the world with a rod of iron.

Rev 2:18-29 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.  Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And He shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

This is directly referring to the child that will be birthed as part of the Revelation 12 sign – seeing that this child will rule the world with a rod of iron and I believe this refers to our time.

Rev 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, WHO WAS TO RULE THE NATIONS WITH A ROD OF IRON: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

Will the Man Child not only be caught up into heaven once the Head and the Body has come together or when the Head and the Body are "knit together”? We have just a week to go to find out! Peter also refers to this event using the same symbols:

2 Pe 1:19-21 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

Until then, we patiently wait for our Lord and ask Him to strengthen our hearts and to increase out hope and love for Him and for each other!

Remember, Paul said that this day will not catch those that are watching unawares and our Heavenly Father reveals everything He is about to do before it happens, even when we only see through a glass darkly:

Amo 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

If nothing happened by next week this time, then we continue to wait and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit to see where He points us next.

I was really refreshed this morning when the Lord showed me this, after I asked Him for some encouragement. I could not see how we would be in a position not to be caught unawares and it would seem that the Body of Christ have resorted to grasping at straws in finding answers to the timing of our Blessed Hope. I hope this will renew your strength and give you a fresh expectation as it did me!
