1. The four horsemen of the Apocalypse: A book or scroll in God‘s right hand has seven seals. The Lamb (Jesus) of God opens the first four of the seven seals. Each seal summons four beings that sequentially ride out on white, red, black, and pale horses.
   The White horse is fake news of peace on earth. He carries only a bow but no arrows symbolic of peace. He is given “a” [singular] crown, i.e. the anti-Christ.
   The second seal is the Red Horse which means bloodshed; perhaps global civil war. Probably a war between the Europeans of anti-Christ and Muslims to the south; i.e. kingdom of the North versus the kingdom of the South. [reference prophecies in Daniel 11]
   The third seal represents the black horse. It carries scales to measure. Great inflation and famine at this time as the voice from heaven speaks (Revelation 6:5-6)
   The fourth seal is a pale-green horse [Revelation 6:8]. This says ¼ of the earth is given over to him for it (?) to kill by sword (Knife as is the custom of radical Muslims), famine, and plague. This surrendering of ¼ of habitable lands is likely an agreement between the anti-Christ and Muslims i.e., to divide up the earth to secure boundaries of rule. AHAMOMENT: ¼ of the earth’s occupied land mass is the Middle East (minus Jerusalem) going south through all of Africa. This is primarily Muslim territory that represents the King(dom) of the South in Daniel 11.
   GREEN is a color found on Islamic flags; Mohammed’s favorite color.

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush [Ethiopia], and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.” – Isaiah 11:11

• When the seventh seal is opened, the wrath of God is released. And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. [Revelation 8:1] Even the angels will hold their breath in anticipation.
• Matthew 12:31   Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the [Holy] Spirit shall not be forgiven.
• “If you (meaning us as individuals) ________; Then I (meaning God) __________.” Every major covenant and promise in both the O.T. and the N.T. is preceded by this statement.
• Old Testament covenants are to a nation; New Testament covenants are to the church of individual believers within the church body of Christ; no denomination.
  • To BE and to LIVE is what defines a be-liever.
  • To be a Christian one must also live as one. Anything less is blasphemy.

1. The Book of Acts is the foundation of a Christian Worship Service.
   1. Unequally yoked in worship also means believers trying to worship alongside unbelievers; unequally yoked. Whether in business, relationships or worship, Christians are not to be equally yoked with unbelievers. [Amos 3:3; 2 Corinthians 6:14, 15 & 16.]
   1. AFTER salvation, bring them to church for worship, study, and fellowship as equally yoked.
2. Ponder this! Why does [John] Mark tell his readers about the young man fleeing the Garden of Gethsemane, but the other Gospels Matthew, Luke, and John never mention it?
   1. Mark was likely the young man who fled the scene at Christ’s arrest in Gethsemane.
3. Barnabas and John Mark were cousins according to Colossians 4:10
4. There was often a mix of Jews/Israelis and Gentiles in the outer court of the synagogue listening to Paul preach. Only an Israelite of Judaism (not Jewish) conviction is allowed inside the synagogue.
5. The “Synagogue” as we read of it in the bible or anywhere else originated in and during the 70-year Babylonian captivity.
   1. Sequence of Judaism worship: Tent of Tabernacle (Wilderness times; Moses) then the Temple of Solomon (Israel as a nation) then the Synagogue (Babylon).
6. Mark is the first New Testament book written – 70 A.D. (See #18)
7. We sleep, not die eternally. Old Testament and New Testament reference a perceived dead person as only in a state of sleep until the Bema Judgment or Great White Throne End Time days. Only his or her soul/spirit is missing.
8. 2 Corinthians 4:14 “…knowing that he who raised (egeirō) the Lord Jesus will raise (egeirō) us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence.” Egeirō means: to be awakened; to arouse; to rise (from one’s sleep). The body returns to dust and ashes but the soul sleeps until the time of resurrection.
9. Acts 14:2  “But the unbelieving” (apeitheo: willfully desiring tradition over Christ) “Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.” How similar is this to today’s church culture under the guise of protecting others from Covid-19, and political correctness?
10.  *Local culture gives a hierarchy to right versus wrong. To God, it is all one thing called sin. (Acts 13:39)
11. Forgiveness means never bringing it up again to berate or excuse one’s actions; human-to-human and God-to-man. Lord’s Prayer says to forgive us just as we forgive all others.
    1. This means according to the prayer that there are two types of sin. One between Man and God and another between man and man.
12. The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) is preceded in the same chapter with “where to pray.” (Matthew 6:1 says to beware of showing off your righteous bias before others. Matthew 6:6 says…
    1. Go alone into your prayer closet, close the door, and pray to the Father in heaven but in secret.
    1. ONLY THEN does Jesus explain or give an example of prayer. Ignoring the previous couple of verses forbids the context of the Lord’s Prayer to be used as a congregational prayer i.e. One is to be alone in his or her prayer closet.
13. Finland is where the Tribe of Issachar ended up in modern times after the Assyrian dispersion of the northern Kingdom of Israel. Why we know this: Before a tank battle with Russia in WW II, General Gustaf Mannerheim of Finland addressed his army as “Men of Issachar.”
    1. General Mannerheim? King Menahem of the House of Gadi was a king of the northern tribes of Israel between 749 BCE and 737 BCE. Hmmmm? Name similarities; family line?
    1. Tribal members of Gad(i) along with the Tribe of Issachar are noted in secular history as having settled in a land we know as Finland?
14. Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon [Reigned 970 BCE to 931 BCE]. She returns to Ethiopia pregnant naming their son Menelik I. It means “son of the wise king.” Even Muslims teach this as a fact. She brings Judaism to Ethiopia plus a son from the Tribe of Judah; possibly a replica of the Ark of the Covenant or, one is given to Menelik I when he visited Israel to meet his father Solomon in 950 BCE.
    
    1,000 years later Phillip meets the Ethiopian Eunuch [Acts 8] who was a follower of Judaism and converts him to Christianity via the scriptures of Isaiah. The Ethiopian was reading the prophecies of the coming Messiah upon his return trip from Jerusalem.
    This high-ranking Ethiopian returns to Ethiopia with his New Testament faith and the nation eventually becomes Christian. Today Ethiopia is over 80% Christian claiming to also have the Ark of the Covenant reflecting their predisposition to Judaism. They are surrounded by Muslim nations that are only 3% to 4% Christians. 225 generations of Ethiopian kings claimed to be descended from the family line of Solomon.

1. Tribes of Israel (name meanings) are a prelude to the N.T. Bible Code if taken in their birth order their names mean:
   1. See a son is born for the Lord has seen my affliction. Hearing my need God conceived a son joining God with man. Praise Yahweh (for) God judged and heard my plea. Wrestling with another I have prevailed for a troop comes to rescue me. Happy is the man of hire (Jesus paid the price for us), being the first to respond to come and dwell with me. (He) will increase and add to my life; the Son who sits on/at the right hand/side of God.
2. Leap out of Bashan (Danites of Gaza and the Sea People) They left the confederation of Israel and then, moved north to Laish…Bashan territory, then “leaped out of Bashan.” They were the sea-people of the Egyptian Pharaohs while in captivity in Egypt; Pre-Moses.
3. Swashtika – it was originally a Jewish religious symbol
4. 10 generations between Adam and Noah; Noah and Abraham
5. Shem’s Vineyard; the village that Noah established…the Russian town of Nakhidshevan was the first village that Noah founded after the flood. Villagers claim that its name means “the Place of Descent” (from the Ark); i.e. the town that Noah established. These villagers today are called Kurds.
6. The eastern gate of Jerusalem was bricked shut by the ancient Turks to prevent Christ from coming in through that gate at his second coming. (Acts 3:2; Matthew 21; Ezekiel 43:1-5)
7. Noah’s animals were all young, not full-grown and mature creatures
   1. Ancient times are pre-flood or prehistoric
   1. 10 kings of the antediluvian; pre-flood
   1. Sumerian Kings listed is a tablet discovered that is a pre-flood document
8. 1656 years between Adam and Noah.
   1. People lived for hundreds of years; became big and strong looking similar to so-called Neolithic Pre-historic) man.
9. Adam was created of red dirt, so the first man was not a white guy.
10. Mixing of DNA (21 & me) to create multiple RACES occurred over multiple generations.
11. Plato’s Atlantis – There is a Mid-Atlantic submerged mountain that is visible from space. Eber, Shem’s great-grandson, named one son Peleg. The name means, “when the firmament (land) was divided.” Peleg’s line begot Shem, thus the Semites or Israelis. Peleg’s birth dates to approximately the same time as Plato’s history of Atlantis.

The following is the first in a series of five or six ahamoments any Bible student should be aware. This is #1

1. ^{II Corinthians 4:16} Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. ¹⁸ So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2. Story or History? The bible is NOT a storybook! It is His-story.
3. Switzerland (Ha-Levitical Confederacy “LVTCL”) on their coinage; The Levite Confederacy. “Ha” in Hebrew means “the”… The Levite Confederacy.
4. In 1492 Columbus sailed out of Spain. (5 out of 6 navigators were of Hebrew-Israeli lineage)
   1. 1492 (1492 – 1503 the Spanish Inquisition) the Jews were ordered out of Spain
5. Cleopatra: (Antiochus, king of the North vs the Pharaoh Ptolemy; King of the South)
   1. Ezekiel 38 & 39; Daniel 11:45
   1. Antiochus III [king of the north] gave his daughter “Cleopatra I” to Ptolemy V [King of the south] in marriage to his underage son. This is the Cleopatra of notoriety.
6. Shibboleth vs Sibboleth (Jordan) This test of the Ephraimites and the Gileadite language enunciations.
   1.  Any custom or tradition, usually a choice of phrasing or even a single word, that distinguishes one group of people from another. (Merriam – Webster dictionary)
   1. Resulting from Judges 12:6…the Gileadites would say, “All right, say ‘Shibboleth.'” If he said, “Sibboleth,” because he could not pronounce the ‘sh’ sound, they (Gileadites) seized that Ephraimite soldier and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand Ephraimites were killed at that time.
      1. What other language cannot pronounce the “sh” sound in their language?  Ans: Hawaiians. My bank agent at PNC in Grandville is Hawaiian. He confirmed that his people struggle to use the “sh” sound.
      1. Might this mean that as the world repopulated after the flood and dispersed after Babel, the Ephraimites migrated to “some of the islands of the seas” [Isaiah 11:11] Hmmm? The church of Philippians and the Philippines Islands? They had to come from somewhere around the Middle East after Noah settled there.
7. To remain in Spain, Jews had to change Hebrew names to Christian names, move, or die.
   1. Secretly they used the first letter of their tribal names to spell their “new” Christian names. Possible examples: Reuben to Robinson, Roberts, Richard, or the like, and the same with each tribe using the first letter of their founding fathers.
   1. Example: Tribe of Simeon could be renamed Simons, Simmons, Simpson, Simonson, Simonelli, etc.
   1. Problem: Joseph and Judah both begin with the letter “J”. God foresaw this issue 2,500 years before the Spanish Inquisition. Joseph, while in Egypt had two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. Jacob who was renamed Israel by God, adopted them as his sons, just as he identified Reuben, his firstborn. That means Joseph’s people were represented through his two sons Ephraim and Manasseh. No duplication of the tribal name’s first letter. Joshua became Ephraim, and Manasseh.
