This year a comet will appear on the morning of the Day of Atonement (October 9th, 2019). This comet will be as bright as Venus, which is the brightest object in the sky other than the sun and moon.
However, because this comet is a “sungrazer”, it will be hard to see due to its close proximity to the sun, which is why it will not receive that much public attention.
Virgo, Venus and the Morning Star
The comet will also be close to Venus (as seen from the earth). This is important because historically both the constellation of Virgo and the planet Venus are associated with goddess Ishtar (negatively speaking).
However, positively speaking, Virgo and Venus have become a symbol of the Virgin Mary and Son due to Revelation 12. Jesus is called, “The bright and morning Star (of Venus)”, (Rev 2:28).
The best time to see the comet will also be at daybreak on the Day of Atonement. In a sense, this also makes the comet “a bright morning star” shining out towards Leo from the hand of Virgo. (The Virgin/Virgo is also ‘clothed with the rising sun’, Rev 12.)
The below image spans the first ten days of the Jewish new year, (Tishri 1-11). However, keep in mind that likely the comet will be visible to the unaided eye only at daybreak on the Day of Atonement — when the horizon glows like the blood of grapes.
Day of Atonement lasts two days because of worldwide timezones
Before we come to the next image, there are a few things to keep in mind.
It takes two full days for the Day of Atonement to complete across the whole earth because of timezones. This is significant because the image created by the comet is that of a sickle in the hand of Virgo reaping the whole earth — especially East Asia.
In the below image, note that the comet/sword/sickle in the left hand of Virgo reaches from the man with a sickle (Bootes of Rev 14) to the staff between the feet of the Lion of Judah (Leo).
In antiquity, a comet was perceived as a sword/sickle or staff. Moreover, the Hebrew word for a comet means a scepter — so named because it resembles a glittering scepter.
Thus the comet-staff/scepter does not leave Leo until the Day of Atonement is finished.
Genesis 49:9-11
You are a lion’s cub, Judah;
you return from the prey, my son.
Like a lion he crouches and lies down,
like a lioness—who dares to rouse him?
The scepter will not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
until he to whom it belongs shall come
and the obedience of the nations shall be his.
He will tether his donkey to a vine,
his colt to the choicest branch;
he will wash his garments in wine,
his robes in the blood of grapes.
What this sign means
In other words, this sign in the heavens means that Christ’s work of Atonement to secure a harvest of souls will be complete when the scepter/comet departs from between the feet of the Lion of Judah.
Once the harvest is complete, the blood of the rebellious will flow like grapes trampled under foot, and the time for mercy over. (Read Revelation 14.)
Then there shall be great tribulation.
But no man knows exactly when that day will begin.
In antiquity, the tail of a comet was sometimes viewed as 'a head of hair blown in the wind'. (In English, the word comet literally means "hair".) Therefore it is worth noting that at its brightest, the comet will shine into the only constellation in the heavens of a head of hair! "Coma Berenices"; ( "Berenice's Hair", queen of Egypt). The Bible declares that a woman's hair is her (crown of) glory.
Sign in heaven superimposed over the prophetic map
I will not take the time to explain how this image was created. We have already referred to it (or its counterpart) the past 40 posts.
Notice that the Lord of the Harvest (a term Jesus gave to Himself) stands across Asia, with the comet beginning in East Asia, (Matthew 9:38).
Is Asia God’s last major harvest before He comes like a roaring lion to trample the wicked underfoot?
Five and six years later (2024/2025) will be the 70th jubilee from when Israel entered the Promised Land. The Day of Atonement is when this Jubilee is announced.
There is much more to say about this and its related images. Lord willing, these will be posted soon, with signs following.
Revelation 14:14-20
Harvesting the Earth and Trampling the Winepress
14 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” 16 So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17 Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. 18 Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” 19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. 20 They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.
Powerful 7.5 Magnitude Quake Hits Papua New Guinea
In this post I said to expect (as usual) “signs following”:
There is much more to say about this and its related images. Lord willing, these will be posted soon, with signs following.
Why East Papua New Guinea?
It’s because of where this is located on the prophetic map posted two days before the quake (in this post). The far eastern side of Papua New Guinea (where the quake occurred) is the only place on earth that coincides in every way with the below prophetic image.
Other than some small islands, East Papua New Guinea marks the first and likely only place on earth to experience the Day of Atonement and see the comet and to also align with itself on the prophetic map.
(Note: the comet will likely be shorter than here presented in my Starry Night software so as to shine only over the East Papua New Guinea and the Pacific Ocean when superimposed on the prophetic map, although still pointing to East Asia).
Why the quake occured at 11 pm local time, May 14, 2019?
Because from the said May 9th (comet brought to my attention), May 12th (this comet article posted), and May 14th (earthquake) are exactly 5 months to the Day of Atonement on the Enochian, 360 and Lunar calendars respectively.
The number “five” has been consistently important in the past 40 posts. It is the same as five lunar days.
The earthquake (having occurred after evening) was on the anniversary of when God told Noah to get on the Ark, and also seven days later (on the 360 calendar) when the rains actually started and the door was shut on the Ark, (Gen 7:4,11).
This also, therefore, means that the five months corresponds to the anniversary of the five months that the flood waters covered the earth, (Gen 7:24, 8:3).
Plus much more!
The names of the Islands are prophetic for much of the world
The earthquake occurred at the Northeastern tip of “New Britain”, just south of “New Ireland”. Therefore, perhaps they are symbolic of the former British empire.
Islands of New Britain and New Ireland: The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake measured magnitude 7.5 and was centred 45 kilometres northeast of Kokopo. It said it struck at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometres.
