The Dragons Time
(AMP Deut 5:11) You shall not take the Name of the LORD your God in vain for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His Name in falsehood or without purpose
The name JESUS means the ‘Salvation of the LORD.’ (Yahshua in Hebrew, or Iesous in Greek)
The name LORD (YHWH) means the ‘Existing One.’ (Y=one and HWH=to exist or breathe)
Note-1: The name I AM (AHWH) is derived from (A=I and HWH=to exist or breathe) The ‘Y’ in YHWH = One. The ‘A’ in AHWH = ‘I,’ being a personal pronoun for one person.
The name CHRIST (Messiah MSHX) means; the ¹Anointed Prince, the ²Anointed King, the ³Anointed High Priest. (BDB H4899) The term ‘Anointed One,’ is the general term used by the churches to cover all three titles.
Note-2: Isaiah said the ‘Son to be Born’, the Christ, would be named the ¹Prince of Peace, the ²Everlasting Father and ³Councilor and this ties perfecting into the (BDB H4899) meaning.
Note-3: When the Christ was born they named him Jesus.
The name of the ¹LORD ²JESUS ³CHRIST means; ¹The Existing One, ²The Salvation of the Existing One, ¹The Anointed One.
A testimony declared in the greatest Commandment; Hear O Israel, the LORD thy God is One LORD.
Israel’s Generations / Time
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations. (KJV Matthew 1:17)
A Sabbath of Generations: I have divided the forty two generations (3×14) from Abraham to Christ, into six periods of seven generations, or (6×7). Jesus is cut off in the midst of the 7th. (7×7) Daniel foretells the Messiah will be cut off in the midst of the week.
(Daniel 9:24-27) Seventy weeks are determined on your people and on your holy city…And after three score and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off but not for himself and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary… And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week and in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation
Time & Times: My reason for breaking down the generations into seven parts is to highlight the pattern of Israel’s collapse in the forty two generations allotted to Israel, will repeat in the forty two months allotted to the Gentile nations. The Gentile times can be broken down into seven church angel messages, seven seals, trumpets, and plagues. Below I outline Israel’s generations and touch briefly on the essence of a corresponding pattern of time in the seven Seals. I build on this in later pages.
(1st/7 Generations) Faith to Bondage: (Abraham to Aram)
By faith Abraham believes God will give him a son in his old age and the land he dwells in given to his seed by promise. Jacob’s sons are forced to relocate into Egypt during the seven years of famine and their descendants flourish into the Twelve Tribes. But as foretold Abraham’s seed become slaves in a foreign land. From faith to bondage.
The 1st Seal: The antichrist rides out to conquer faith…
(2nd/7 Generations) The Law & Judges: (Amminadab To David)
God uses Moses to plague Pharaoh, break his yoke and lead Israel to the promised land. God delivers the Law to Moses on Mount Sinai. The Law is read to the Congregation and the Tabernacle setup. Israel’s unbelief results in their wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. Eventually they subdue the seven nations in Canaan under Joshua, who reads from the Book of the Law before he dies. Israel fall into idolatry and after a succession of Judges, Israel reject God’s rule and desire a king like the nations about them. And so Samuel anoints Saul king in Gilgal but God chooses David. Judging in the Law, lifted up as kings.
The 2nd Seal: Peace is taken from the earth and brethren condemn one another…
(3rd/7 Generations) Kings & Idols: (Solomon to Ozias)
David unifies the twelve tribes but Solomon’s idolatry, see’s Israel divided after his death. The Kingdom of Israel divides into the houses of Judah and Israel. Jeroboam sets up the bulls of Bethel & Dan to prevent the house of Israel returning to Jerusalem. The land collapses into idolatry and God sends Elijah in Ahab’s reign to declare that He is one Lord. From God’s rule to Mans rule.
The 3rd Seal: Our faith and souls in the balance
(4th/7 Generations) Death & Scattering: (Joatham-Jeconiah)
Jezebel meets her death as foretold by Elijah. The Kingdom of Judah also falls into idolatry due in part to alliances and intermarriage between the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah. God raises Josiah as prophesied to read the Book of the Law to the people and to purge the land of idols but his death is a precursor to the exile of Judah to Babylon. Israel is already captive in Assyria at this time. The song of Moses is sung.
The 4th Seal: the sword and hunger and death…
(5th/7 Generations) Captivity and a Remnant Return: (Salathiel to Achim)
During this time the Tribes of Israel & Judah are scattered into the nations of the Assyrians, Babylonians, the Medes and others. As prophesied a remnant return to rebuild the walls and temple at Jerusalem. The Levites read God’s Law on completion of the wall and the people take an oath to keep it.
The 5th Seal: grace for a remnant under the altar.
(6th/7 Generations) God’s Word Polluted: (Eliud to Messiah)
Greece as a world power rises and falls and in the time of the Roman Empire the Tribes are further scattered throughout the earth. God’s testimonies are further polluted and diluted. Jewish Pharisee & Sadducee sects flourish, most using their own versions of the Talmud and the religious sects become more active in State affairs. An Herodian dynasty flourishes shortly before the birth of Christ.
The 6th Seal: The sun, the moon and stars fall. The Prophets, the Law and Gospel are trampled.
(7th/7 Generation ½ a Time) Release & Reject: (Messiah and the Apostles)
At birth, the ¹Christ is named ¹Jesus and the Lord instructs Joseph to go into Egypt. Herod kills all the male children under the age of two in a similar fashion to the destruction of the children in Moses time. When baptized Jesus proceeds to raise and teach the Apostles. Jesus death is demanded by the Jewish religious sects that teach the commandments and traditions of men. The Messiah is crucified and cut off in the midst of the week
The 7th Seal: A half hour silence. (seen by Daniel as the dividing of time)
(Next: The Gentile Times: Her Root is Babylon)
