The Judgment of the Fever
In the following verse we find these words:
BUT IS SHALL COME TO PASS, IF THOU WILL NOT HEARKEN UNTO THE VOICE OF THE LORD THY GOD, TO OBSERVE TO DO ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS AND HIS STATUTES WHICH I COMMAND THEE THIS DAY, THAT ALL THESE CURSES SHALL COME UPON THEE, AND OVERTAKE THEE: (Det.28:15).
It is assumed by some that because this is written in the Old Testament that it does not pertain to today, having its fullfillment in days gone by. Yet when we look in Amos we read:
BEHOLD, THE DAYS COME SAITH THE LORD GOD, THAT I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, NOT A FAMINE OF BREAD, NOR A THIRST FOR WATER, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: (Amos 8:11).
It is the belief of the writer that we are presently in this condition of FAMINE and DROUGHT. This condition is seen as happening in the latter days and we see in The Revelation that no less than 8 times is the phrase,
"HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR"
is commanded for those that are to be OVERCOMERS.
The conditions and event described in The Revelation are of much BURNING. We noticed in Amos 8:11 that it is God who sends the FAMINE and DROUGHT. It was in Det.28 that we were told that he would send a curse upon those who did not "HEARKEN" or "OBSERVE" God's commandments and statutes.
When we look at the curses that were placed upon a man in Det.28:22,27 we notice that as they continue they become more and more personal. Here are some of the curses listed with their meanings from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance.
The general theme of all the various curses have almost the identical meaning which is "TO BURN".
THE LORD SHALL SMITE THEE WITH A CONSUMPTION, AND WITH A FEVER, AND WITH AN INFLAMMATION, AND WITH THE SWORD, AND WITH BLASTINGS AND WITH MILDEW, AND THEY SHALL PURSUE THEE UNTIL THOU PERISH (Det.28:22).
THE LORD WILL SMITE THEE WITH THE BOTCH OF EGYPT, AND WITH THE EMERODS, AND WITH THE SCAB, AND WITH THE ITCH, WHERE OF THOU CANST NOT BE HEALED (Det.28:27).
THE LORD SHALL SMITE THEE WITH MADNESS, AND BLINDNESS, AND ASTONISHMENT OF HEART: (Det.28:28).
In The Revelation it appears that the "SUN" does the burning and by this it is often thought that the BURNING is of literal TREES and GRASS. The curse that God proclaims is upon the defiant individual unbeliever that does not to OBSERVE the COMMANDS of God. These are they that do not "HEAR THE WORD OF GOD". It would be reasonable to assume that the curse falls upon individual that are unrepentant rather than the land mass of the earth. The curse is upon mankind primarily and the earth secondarily in its relationship to mankind. The scriptures point to men aften in the type as trees. Even today a man is described as having 4 LIMBS, a TRUNK, and a brain STEM. Man is also described as grass in the scriptures.
AND ALL THE TREES OF THE FIELD SHALL KNOW THAT I THE LORD HAVE BROUGHT DOWN THE HIGH TREE,... (Ez.17:24).
I SEE MEN AS TREES WALKING,.. (Lk. 8:24).
...ALL FLESH IS GRASS,... (Is. 40:6).
FOR ALL FLESH IS AS GRASS,...(I Peter 1:24).
The BURNING of The Revelation about the latter days is the burning of "LUST and DESIRE". This burning is due to the circumstances brought upon mankind due to the fact that they no longer "HEAR THE WORD OF GOD" or to "OBSERVE the COMMANDMENTS" of the Lord. In Det.28:27 we are told of the curse of the ITCH the meaning of which is SUN. The word itch is found only once in the Word of God. In the writers studies it was observed that an item that is rarely found in the Word of God is to be taken to be just that, RARE and to be studied for the rare GOLD quality that it will bring forth. We are told that in the latter days;
FOR THE TIME WILL COME WHEN THEY WILL NOT ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE; BUT AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS SHALL THEY HEAP TO THEMSELVES TEACHERS, HAVING ITCHING EARS, (II Tim.4:3).
This word ITCHING is also found only once in the Word of God.
The curse of the ITCH proclaimed in Det.28:27 is directed to the ITCHING EARS OF II Tim.4:3 and the root cause is found to be "INDIVIDUAL LUST" of a man or a woman. This LUST is not only to be found as "sexual" lust but as described in II Timothy it is for false teaching. This would fall into the camp of anything easy; that doesn't step on toes or that will accept people for who they are rather than where they stand in the Word of God. Mankind today have built all sorts of idols by their hands such as camps, houses, cars etc. Anything that takes us away from God and his Word is to be found as idols or those things that we place before us rather than the "HEARING OF THE WORD OF GOD".
THE ITCH or LUST is the SUN that BURNS the TREES and GRASS, which is MANKIND seen in THE REVELATION.
The events of the end of this age will be as;
AND THE SERPENT CAST OUT OF HIS MOUTH WATER AS A FLOOD AFTER THE WOMAN,... (Rev.12:15).
As people get further and further from "HEARING THE WORD OF THE LORD" . The "DROUGHT and FAMINE" described by Amos causes the "CONSUMPTION" to begin. This word meant emaciation or to be thin. Those in this state will desire to hear the words of the serpent, anything easy or easy believism will suffice to them. But 12:16 describes a earth group that are able to swallow up the false words of the serpent or dragon. This earth group is those that are made from the dust of the earth. They are created in the likeness of Adam being as the FIRSTFRUITS who was Jesus Christ. They will be able to eat the LOCUSTS sent out seen in Revelation chapter 9 just as John the Baptist was described as doing as he came out of the wilderness. John came eating LOCUSTS and HONEY (Mat.3:4). The LOCUSTS today are eating the grass/men with their false teachings. Locusts are grasshoppers that mutate to this larger form during a "DROUGHT" because of the lack of food. This larger mutated state allows them to fly "to and fro" seeking food. This is the condition of the world today.
The sun can also be tied to THE FEVER a second way for the 2nd witness required. The 360 day SACRED YEAR divided by the 365 day SOLAR YEAR equals .986 or the same digits of the normal temperature of man. Is this 986 an indication of time? If so it would be all of 1998 plus .6 of 1999 or by the authors calculation August 7, 1999.
The fact that the JUDGEMENT OF THE FEVER is located just 3 chapters prior to the SONG OF MOSES beginning in Det.32:1 is also very interesting. The SONG OF MOSES is also mentioned by John in The Revelation 15:3. The placement of this song in The Revelation makes a must to know as it pertains to the latter days. Actually Moses said;
FOR I KNOW THAT AFTER MY DEATH YE WILL UTTERLY CORRUPT yourselves, AND TURN ASIDE FROM THE WAY WHICH I HAVE COMMANDED YOU; AND EVIL WILL BEFALL YOU IN THE LATTER DAYS; BECAUSE YE WILL DO EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD, TO PROVOKE HIM TO ANGER THROUGH THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS (Det.31:29).
The SONG OF MOSES begins with Det.32:1 which is the 5760th verse of the Bible. This is the exact year that the Jews will celebrate starting on 9/10/1999 at 6:00 pm. This is the Feast of Trumpets or Rosh ha Shanna. Some might say that this is a coincidence but to the Rabbis coincidense is not to be concidered a "kosher" word.
The numbering of the chapters and verses of the Bible were not in the original manuscripts they were added at a much latter date. The fact also that the method for measuring a humans temperature was not learned until just in recent years is also to be noted. What the writer conciders about both of these fact is that God did not die and is well able to direct men to fact that he desires to be know or written even in present day.
There is also another note worthy of mention concerning the numbering of the verses of the Bible. The original manuscripts have six of the 10 commandments listed as one verse rather than the 6 individual verses that the present King James Bible does. What this would mean is that rather than the SONG OF MOSES beginning with the 5760th verse it would be the 5754th and verse 7 would then become the 5760th verse. This is a difference but only a difference found to be within the SONG OF MOSES. This would be directing our eyes to look within the song not away from the song. This should be seen as directing us into the Word of God for better hearing rather than confusion directing us further from the Word of God.
The time just ahead will certainly prove to be a challenge to the Children of God. But he has made a way of excape for us. The OVERCOMERS are to have a name that no man knows but he himself (Rev.2:17). This name is the name of God (Rev.3:12). This is the same name that the King of Kings has when he returns (Rev.19:12). This is the name of protection for all the Sons of God and it is identified in Rev.19:13 and is called
May you be found in it and with it when our King returns.
When we notice that 98.6 degrees f. could indicate the date of August 7, 1999 Comet Lee becomes of interest. The following web site will show the trajectory of Comet Lee.
Go to comets then comets 1999 scroll to July 11 c/1988 Hi Lee and click on Lee. Click on simulation orbit and zoom at the bottom. Click planet label and comet label then click from present day forward.
The position of Comet Lee on the 7th is in close proximity to Mercury. Will this cause a trajectory change for Comet Lee? Will this be the cause for things to HEAT UP in the lives of mankind? It appears likley that this may be a possibility.
The last solar eclipse of this decade, century and millinnieum will occur on August 11th. It will begin in the North Atlantic and travel eastward thru the mideast placing Israel in its path to end somewhere over India. The timing of this as it reflects upon 98.6 (8/7/99) is above coincidence. Will mankind be experiencing much "TRAVAIL" or mental anxiety during these days? Will mankind become inflammed by the cares of life? The possibility seems extremely high.
The recent major solar explosions on the distant side of the sun has caused some to speculate that there is something (asteroid/comet) hidden from view by the suns glare even at this time. This is speculation at this point but those same individuals suggest that when the solar eclipse takes place on August 11 it will provide the necessary shield from the glare that will expose this object of destruction. I repeat that this is highly speculative at this time. It is not the intention of this author to cause confusion but to cause the eyes of the reader to be alert to possible
The world claims today to be at peace, after Kosovo, although there are about 40 wars in progress worldwide. There is unprecedented economic boom in the United States with the stock market over the 10,000 mark.
FOR WHEN THEY SHALL SAY PEACE AND SAFETY; THEN SUDDEN DESTRUCTION COMETH UPON THEM, AS TRAVAIL UPON A WOMAN WITH CHILD; AND THEY SHALL NOT ESCAPE (I Thes.5:3).
