Israel: The Handwriting in the Heavens
Daniel W. Matson
Preface
After completing, Israel: The Handwriting on the World, it
became time to first revisit the tetrad theory of lunar eclipses that
coincide with the Feasts of the Lord. Through that study it then
lead to other signs of interest such as solar eclipses, planetary
conjunctions, and other signs in the heavens that were spoken of
in Scripture. The results were astounding and needed to be
documented because it was information missing from other
presentations of this subject being popularized. The
documentation that follows is taken from the web site articles
and has been reassembled into this book as a follow up to Israel:
The Handwriting on the World.
When Mark Biltz's tetrad theory first came to light, it was
about seven years ago. The prevailing thought in 2008 was that
the tetrad of 2014-2015 possibly pointed to the 70th Week, or
also known as the seven year Tribulation, as occurring from 2008
to 2015. This is now clearly not the case because we are not in
the Tribulation and the Church is still here. Even now, the
significance of the tetrad of 2014-2015 has still been somewhat
of a mystery in its application as to what and when something
related to Israel might occur.
Previously, the tetrads had not been given much time in this
authors research because there did not seem to be any direct
connection to the events of Israel. The events of Israel's
independence (1947-1949) preceded the tetrad of 1949-1950.
Usually signs precede events. The tetrad of 1967-1968 also
seemed ambiguous and not directly connected to the Six-DayWar. It was just close, but not directly on target, or so it seemed.

The theory was also ignored for the most part since it did not
fit the various scenarios developed by this author that pointed to
the significance of 2017. No connection of the timing stood out as
being exactly significant. The fact that many of the eclipses could
not even be seen from Israel (when presented as such) also did
not help.
Now that the eclipses are occurring, many people have begun
to wonder about their validity. People wonder if there will really
be a significant event concerning Israel at around this time and
they may be fearing more naysaying from the mockers from even
within the Church. But Gods ways are not mans ways and even
this author missed the boat on the significance of the tetrads. By
applying none other than the principles found in Israel: The
Handwriting on the World, the significance of the tetrads would
be exposed. If applied earlier, that book would have increased in
size in proportion to what will follow.
The beauty of all this was that once one piece of the puzzle was
determined, an avalanche quickly ensued as the pieces came
together and the picture became clearer leading to more
discoveries. What followed then was not only discoveries about
the tetrads, but also discoveries about the associated solar
eclipses and planetary conjunctions. Instead of vague signs, what
is occurring in the heavens today are calculated events pointing
towards the coming Day of the Lord. As has been said before in
the last book, there is no way this could be made up from ones
own ingenuity.
One problem in prophetic studies is the wide range of biblical
interpretations regarding the Second Coming. Often these have
changed or adjusted to fit the sign as interpreted by the theorists.
It is hard for one to even keep up with the many theories being
espoused today. The belief held here is in a future seven year
period as defined by the 70th Week of Daniel. The Church is still
present on earth as of today and awaits her Rapture or taking to
Daniel W. Matson
6
heaven to escape the Day of the Lord. After the Church has
departed, then Israel becomes Gods way of communicating His
truth to the world. In the middle of those seven years, the
Antichrist commits the Abomination of Desolation in the coming
rebuilt temple. Those living in Israel who heed the warnings of
Christ will then flee to the wilderness for preservation. At the end
of the seven years, Jesus returns to Earth. In short these writings
believe in a Pre-tribulation (or Pre-70th week) Rapture that
precedes a seven year period for the Jews. This is the foundation
and framework.
As this examination unfolds, it is believed that the data
coincides with the seven years of 2017 to 2024. This was also the
conclusion in Israel: The Handwriting on the World. This
author is not aware when so much has been shown to coincide
with this time. This analysis tries to be straightforward and
consider only signs that are apparently significant. The
conclusion must be cohesive and encompass all of the important
points. Hopefully, fewer rocks are left unturned as this research
has progressed.
As we focus in on the nearness of the Lords return and study
these things we must consider what to do with that knowledge.
To some, this may be more speculation, but the Bible is clear that
believers are not to be in the dark on the matter. By seeing the
Day approach, we are to be fervently using our gifts to prepare
ourselves and others for what is about to come. Even without
knowing the discoveries that follow, one should be able to
understand that the Day of the Lord is about here as world events
match the biblical prophecies. However, God has given these
signs and clues to show that His plan is unfolding now. This is all
then a powerful witness to the accuracy of the Bible and the
accuracy of its message. That message should be used for the
purposes of salvation before the Rapture and also after when
people may recollect and observe the fulfillment.

Hopefully this study conveys what God has revealed and its
testimony that points to the return of the Messiah Jesus Christ.
God is not willing that any should perish, but yet, many will elect
to not choose the gift Jesus has provided. The choice is clear,
simple, and yet profound as spoken of by Jesus himself.
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so
must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For
God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him might be saved.
John 3:14-17
Do you believe it? Do you trust your lifes destiny to Jesus
Christ alone? Gods grace is freely given to those who believe.

Introduction
Then God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the
heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for
signs and seasons, and for days and years
Genesis 1:14
Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loose the belt of
Orion? Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season? Or can you
guide the Great Bear with its cubs? Do you know the
ordinances of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the
Earth?
Job 38:31-33
He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by
name.
Psalms 147:4
Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these
things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all
by name, By the greatness of His might And the strength of His
power; Not one is missing.
Isaiah 40:26
When most people look to the heavens today for inspiration,
it is mostly in awe of its expanse and perhaps order. To suggest
that God has also used the heavens to communicate His truth is
Daniel W. Matson
9
often greeted with some form of disbelief or puzzlement.
However, this is the case, as is evident in the Scriptures and the
history handed down to us.
Right at the onset, the Bible tells us in Genesis that all of the
lights in heaven were made to be signs for us and also for the use
of time measurement. We later find that the stars were named by
God and that it was all done according to His plan. What may
seem random is not and heavenly signs are the first thing
mentioned to give us an indicator when significant things in
history are about to occur.
But here we approach dangerous territory. This may begin to
sound to many people like something akin to modern astrology,
but that is not the case. What most people know as astrology
today is merely a corruption of Gods original intent. Modern
astrology does not do what follows in this book. Modern
astrology is like a corrupt biblical theology where its read is not
in line with Scriptures original intent and meaning of its words.
So it is also with the heavens. God has made everything for a
legitimate reason, but leave it to fallen men with the aid of Satan
to corrupt and hide what was clearly written or designed.
When Jesus was born there was a clear sign made in the
heavens that the Magii understood. They knew the king of
promise was born in Israel. There are different theories on what
this may have been, but the bottom line is that God gave a sign in
the heavens just like He said He would do in Genesis. This was
undefiled astrology. It was then enlightened astrologybiblical
astrology. Biblical astrology is consistent with the Bible. Modern
astrology fits the desires and plans of people and runs contrary
to Scripture.
Biblical astrology examines the names of the constellations
and its stars to find the message contained therein. E.W.
Bullingers, The Witness of the Stars, or Joseph Seiss, The
Daniel W. Matson
10
Gospel in the Stars, are two such books that lay out Gods plan,
as reflected in the stars, to redeem the human race. Virgo, the
Virgin, is the first sign which contains stars that signify the
coming promise of the Messiah. The most visible star is Spica,
which means an ear of grain. The Hebrew word for this star is
Zerah and is the same Hebrew word used in Genesis 3:15
meaning seed. The beta star Zavijava means the beautiful or
desirable Lord. Tsemech is the gamma star and its Hebrew
meaning is branch, but this word in Hebrew is only used in the
Bible with reference to the Messiah. Another star, Vindemiatrix,
in Chaldean means the branch who comes or the son and in the
Arabic it is Al Mureddin, which means who shall come down or
who shall have dominion. Virgo is a picture of the promise of the
seed of the woman. This is a portion of the constellations that
represent important truths in line with those of the Bible. That is
biblical astrology. The fixed stars were named and tell the biblical
story from Virgo the Virgin until Leo the Lion of Judah.
The next important items on the list are the planets, which
were also known as wandering stars. The wandering stars that
are seen are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. If we
add the sun and moon, that gives us seven lights. Those seven
lights also give us the names for the days of the week. The order
of the week is in the following order: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury,
Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn. Each light also has its meaning to the
Hebrews. The Sun refers to holiness, the Moon to renewal, Mars
to atonement or war, Mercury to a scribe, Jupiter to the Messiah,
Venus to glory or splendor, and Saturn to rest. These lights of
meaning then travel through the twelve constellations of the
Mazzeroth or Zodiac.
The keys to taking the signs of the heavens further than what
is mostly available on this topic today revolved around two
things. The first item was to do simple day counts from the
heavenly events to the actual events that occurred in history.
Patterns were then observed to show that these were not random
Daniel W. Matson
11
events. These patterns were then observed to occur in standard
ratios of mathematics. One such ratio observed multiple times
was the use of pi or known as the ratio of the circle to its diameter.
This phenomenon was also observed in the previous book. These
numbers may get overwhelming to the reader and may take time
to process. Sometimes it takes diagramming them out to get a
handle of what is going on and it is quite likely there may be more
to these observations that has been overlooked even here. As
more of these ratios and counts have been found, the likelihood
that they are by chance is extremely small. Yet, no matter how
conclusive, it will still take faith to believe that we are at the verge
of a terrible time.
This then gets to the elephant on the page and that is the idea
of knowing the day or the hour of our Lords return. A major
portion of Christians do not watch for the signs or indicators
since they believe they cannot know. The texts appealed to the
most are Jesus statements that no one knows the day or hour,
not even the Son of Man, but the Father only (Matthew 24:36,
Mark 13:32). This then seems like an open and shut case with no
further inquiry needed. However, that is a mistake.
In the above Gospel accounts, Jesus never referred to the
Rapture. He only talks about the coming Tribulation and his
Second Coming at the end. Right after describing his Second
Coming he says no one knows that time. Then he mentions that
the days are like the days of Noah where one is taken and one is
left, but this is not the Rapture. Instead it is the separation of the
wicked from the saved with the wicked being taken to where the
birds are gathered for feasting on flesh (Luke 17:34-37). This is
then also consistent with the Apostle Paul who is the first to
reveal the mystery of the Rapture of the Church, meaning it was
not revealed earlier by Christ. It is interesting that in the Gospel
of Luke (Paul) that instead of mentioning not knowing the day or
hour, it records the words of Jesus that the people should watch
and pray that they be counted worthy to escape all of these
Daniel W. Matson
12
thingspre-mysterion code for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture
(Luke 21:36).
When Jesus gives the Olivet Discourse to his disciples, they do
not know when the Second Coming will be. However, Jesus gave
them the sign of Daniel, which gives the 1,260 day countdown
from the Abomination of Desolation until Christs physical
return to earth to set up the Millennial Kingdom The point is that
Christ is speaking of not knowing the time of his return at the
Second Coming at the end of the seven years, but when the
Abomination of Desolation occurs, the people at that time will be
held accountable to understand the time. This is why Jesus then
gives the command to watch, but we as the Church are also
commanded to watch in order that we might also actually know.
For the Christian, we look forward to when Christ returns to
receive us in the heavens to go where he is to escape the coming
judgment (John 14:1-4, Isaiah 26:19-21, Luke 21:36, 1
Corinthians 15:50-54, I Thessalonians 4:16-18, Revelation 3:10).
We are also commanded to watch for that coming day and we are
told that if we do not watch, the Lord will come to us as a thief in
the night and we will not know the day or hour (Revelation 3:3).
When people say the Lord comes as a thief in the night that is
only for the people in darkness (1 Thessalonians 5:4).
Unfortunately, that is not the predominant understanding of
these passages, though it is quite clearwe watch to know. The
thief in the night picture is of the High Priest or Captain of the
guard returning to see if the people on watch are watching. Jesus
comes as a thief to those who are sleeping on watch and the
custom was that those found sleeping had their garments taken
so that they would be found naked and ashamed (Matthew 24:43,
2 Timothy 2:15, Revelation 16:15). The bottom line is that we as
believers in Christ should be looking for his return.
This may be a difficult thing to overcome and realize that we
are to watch in order that we might know. Revelation 3:3 seems
Daniel W. Matson
13
pretty clear that we don't know only because we have failed to
watch and see what God is showing us through His Word, His
historical revelation, and the signs in the heavens. But why would
not God reveal the most important time that is coming when He
has warned previous generations of their coming times? Has God
changed? The faithful have always been able to discern the time.
A final key to the prophetic puzzle is the Feasts of the Lord.
The feasts are called rehearsals for what is to come. A proper
understanding of the feasts will lead to understanding that these
rehearsals were fulfilled to the day and hour of the events
concerning our Lords First Coming. On Palm Sunday, Jesus rode
the donkey into Jerusalem on the same day the lamb was to be
selected for Passover. Indeed, Jesus became our Passover Lamb
and was raised from the dead on Firstfruits. Jesus then ascended
to heaven 40 days later and on Passover Sunday the Holy Spirit
was given to the Church. The rehearsals were fulfilled and the
remaining three feasts await fulfillment on their exact days as
well. Indeed, God has laid out His plan that we might know.
Jesus wept over Jerusalem on Palm Sunday because Israel did
not know the time and importance of that day. What will Jesus
find when he returns soon on the next scheduled feast day?
As we then hurdle towards the most talked about time of the
Bible, it should be expected that similar signs as in the past will
herald these coming events. Signs in the heavens have been given
before, so it stands that they will be given again at the most
critical time of human history. The Scriptures are clear that
heavenly signs will occur at the time of the end. We should be
looking up to what God is showing us. He is showing us right
now.
In our time now we have seen tetrads of lunar eclipses, solar
eclipses, comets, and planetary conjunctions. Though we do not
find the much talked about blood moon tetrads specifically in the
Bible, their rarity and timing should lead believers to become
Daniel W. Matson
14
more aware of the time in which they live. To neglect what has
been shown to be rare and significant in the past would be folly.
The believer should be watching and discerning. And then
when we are actually given a sign of the heavens laid out in the
Book of Revelation itself, it is really time to pay attention. It is
surprising how many have glossed over this sign and reduced it
to mere symbolism. Instead it should be seen as a neon flashing
sign with arrows, but it has become obscured by a traditional
short-sighted understanding of that book.
What follows then is a look into what the heavens are showing
us. With a bit of persistence, and following previously found
patterns, the significance of these events look to point to the very
near future. We look to be on the verge of the Day of the Lord.
From the standpoint of the stars alone, God has set another
witness to this coming time. We have been warned repeatedly.

Chapter 1
The Lunar Tetrads

The first lunar eclipse of the current tetrad of 2014-2015
occurred on April 15, 2014. For those who do not know, a tetrad
is four total lunar eclipses on the Feasts of Passover and
Tabernacles spanning two years. April 15, 2014 was Passover, so
the next eclipse is on the next Feast of Tabernacles and then it
repeats. Many people have been wondering what the prophetic
significance may be. Only eight tetrads have occurred since the
time of Christ. The current tetrad has even captured the attention
of the mainstream media.
What causes people to wonder about the significance of the
tetrads is for the fact that the last two tetrads came near the time
Israel was reestablished in 1948 and then also the time Israel won
Jerusalem in the Six-Day-War in 1967. Going further back in
history, the next nearest tetrad occurred in 1493-1494 and at the
time of the Spanish Inquisition. After 2015, the next tetrad is
over 500 years away. The issue with the tetrads of 1949-1950 and
1967-1968 is that they are claimed to be significant to the events
concerning Israel, though they did not directly coincide on the
days of those events. However, are there any significant day
counts between the eclipses and the events? None have been
demonstrated seemingly to date by other Lunar Tetrad/Blood
Moon proponents. With that in mind, let us take a closer look at
the rebirth of Israel.
Daniel W. Matson
16
On November 29, 1947 the UN passed the Partition Plan
making the way for the foundation of Israel. On May 14, 1948
Israel was declared an independent nation. War immediately
ensued with its Arab neighbors for exactly 300 days until the
raising of the Ink Flag on March 10, 1949 and the end of the war.
This day was found to be very significant in Israel: The
Handwriting on the World.
However, are signs not there to show a coming event and not
follow the events themselves? This had been a problem with
accepting the whole tetrad theory. Not only do the eclipses not
coincide, but the eclipses of 1949-1950 came after the events.
Before the tetrad even began, Israel gained their independence
and won the war. But maybe there is something more here than
meets the eyeand usually there is.
Let us look again at November 29, 1947 when the UN voted in
the Partition Plan to allow for the establishment of Israel.
Between this date and the first lunar eclipse of the 1949-1950
tetrad is 500 days or a duration of 501 days. This is intriguing,
but there is more. When Israel gained its independence on May
14, 1948, 333 days later was this same lunar eclipse. And
remember, 300 days later, the war ended on March 10, 1949--33
days before that eclipse. This is all intriguing and similar to other
discoveries that have been made with regards to peculiar day
counts. These day counts then provide an important pattern for
the remaining tetrads that does get replicated.
As we consider these day counts of 501, 333, and 33 days, it
had previously been discovered that from the raising of the Ink
Flag on March 10, 1949 until the end of the Six-Day-War on June
10, 1967 was exactly 6,666 days. That is 6,666 days from the end
of one war to the end of another. Peculiar indeed! The time frame
of the three tetrads is also 66 years from 1949 to 2015. This then
brings us to the next tetrad of 1967-1968.
Daniel W. Matson
17
The first eclipse was on Passover of 1967 on April 24. This

eclipse came exactly six weeks before the start of the Six-DayWar. From the start of the Six-Day-War until the last eclipse of
the tetrad it was exactly 70 weeks or 490 days. This is also
another provocative number of days between an eclipse and an
event of Israel. However, there is also another interesting
coincidence to this tetrad.
As far as the tetrads are concerned, each period of four eclipses
covers 532 days. From eclipse to eclipse it is usually 177 days. On
April 1, 1969 another significant event occurred when Israel
established the Jerusalem Quarter Development Company to
rebuild war torn Jerusalem. April 1, 1969 was the first Passover
after the completion of the 1967-1968 tetrad. If we count the days
from the start of the Six-Day-War until Passover of 1969, it will
equal 666 days.
April 1, 1969 was also significant as it was also 62 weeks of
years (434 years) from the decree given by Suleiman the
Magnificent in AD 1535 to rebuild Jerusalem and those walls
Daniel W. Matson
18
standing today. This is like a redux of the 70 Weeks of Daniel with
a twist. Seven more weeks of years (49 years) from 1969 until the
last week of seven years would mean 2017s fall festivals may
likely be the beginning of the 70th Week, if we are following a
similar pattern of Daniel 9. So the tetrad of 1967-1968 and its 490
days seems to bear witness of this connection to the future 70th
Week and completion of another 490 year cycle.
It must also be noted that from the last eclipse of 1968 on
Tabernacles October 6th that the Yom Kippur War started
exactly five solar years later on October 6, 1973. So the tetrad of
1967-1968 links all of the significant dates of that time in an
observable non-coincidental pattern. But again, none of the
events occurred directly on the days of the eclipses themselves.
This may be important to note as we consider the possibilities of
the next tetrad that is upon us.
We then advance 47 years from the start of the last tetrad until
the year of 2014. Are there or will there be any coincidences with
Daniel W. Matson
19
the current tetrad? The next tetrad landing on the feast days will
not occur again for hundreds of years, so any further significance
comes down to the one we are presently witnessing. It must be
interjected here that while the tetrads demonstrate significance
of a divine order, that is not to say that these are a fulfillment of
Joel 2:31 or Revelation 6:12. That future event is one of a
cataclysmic nature during the Tribulation. The tetrads have
shown significance and it should be safe to say that there will be
future significant events counting from this tetrad, but until then,
we only have speculation until another pattern can be proven
after the event has occurred. However, some interesting finds
may be significant.
In the tetrad of 1949-1950, the day counts of 501 and 333
seemed significant. If 501 days are used from the last eclipse of
2015, it will arrive on Shevat 15 (February 11) in 2017 and this is
the day known as Rosh Hashanah for TreesTu BShevat. This
day may become even more significant in 2017 when one
considers the following concerning the meaning of the holiday
with regards to the almond tree.
"The almond tree has special significance for Tu B'Shevat.
The word for "almond" is shakeid, which comes from a root that
means to "watch" or "wake" (i.e., shakad). The almond tree is
among the first trees to "awaken" from its winter sleep... We
therefore eat almonds on Tu B'Shevat to celebrate the return of
spring. In the Scriptures there is a play on words regarding the
use of "almond" and God's "watchfulness" (i.e., faithfulness):
"And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 'Jeremiah, what
do you see?' And I said, 'I see an almond branch.' Then the LORD
said to me, ' You have seen well, for I am watching over my
word to perform it'" (Jeremiah 1:11-12)." 1

at/Almond_Tree/almond_tree.html
Daniel W. Matson
20
Even if no event occurs on Tu B'Shevat, it is still significant in
its timing. If Daniel's 70th Week does begin 40 weeks later,
hopefully the watchful see what is soon coming. But even if many
are still not awake, God is ultimately watchful and faithful to His
own Word and will soon perform it. As Israel was partitioned 501
days before the first eclipse of 1949-1950's tetrad, a day of
watchfulness comes 501 days after the last eclipse of 2014-2015's
tetrad. However, there is more to this final eclipse of 2015 and
the only one that can be seen from Israel.
On November 3, 1878 Petah Tikva (a door of hope) was
established as Israels first agricultural settlement. The shocking
thing is that this day has 50,001 days between it and the last lunar
eclipse of 2015. Is this purely coincidence? One should not easily
dismiss this coincidence. The establishment of Israel and their
return is a work of God. The eclipses are miraculously timed and
spaced from such events.
There is then another day stemming from this Tabernacles
eclipse of 2015. As we have seen 501 or 50,001 days come into
play, we have also seen 33 and 333. What about 3,333? Is it
possible to find another day of significance? If we count 3,333
days from the Tabernacles eclipse of September 28, 2015 we will
arrive at November 11, 2024--the anniversary of the end of World
War 1. This day comes 30 days after the Day of Atonement in
2024 and is therefore Day 1290, if 2024 is the ending year of
Daniel's 70th Week.
There is then a final number not on the below diagram. If we
count the days from 2013s 66th anniversary of the UN Partition
Plan of 1947, we will find that it is then 666 days until the
Tabernacles eclipse of 2015. It can also be counted as 4,000 days
until Day 1290 in 2024.
These are but a few examples of coincidences being found with
regards to the Tetrads, but there is always more. It was also found
Daniel W. Matson
21
that 3,333 days back from 2015s Tabernacle eclipse came to
August 14, 2006. August 14 is the anniversary day of the end of
World War 2, but in 2006 it was the day that the HezbollahIsraeli War ended. That war lasted 33 days (This find helped
complete the other finds that have been found in the previous
book concerning the war of 2006. All of those finds hinged off of
that wars start date of July 12, 2006). Here we have the only
lunar eclipse of the 2014-2015 tetrad that can be seen from Israel
exactly between Israels end of their last big war and the end date
of 1290 days and therefore the end of the final war. Two periods
of 3,333 days then equates to 6,666 days. Those days times pi
(3.14) is also the exact span of days from the first eclipse of
1949-1950s tetrad until the end of the Hezbollah-Israeli War of
2006! This similar timeline was also demonstrated in the
previous book to exist between the raising of the Ink Flag, the
start of the Hezbollah War, and the Day of Atonement 2024.
Essentially it is an equation where the radius of the circle that is
used is 3,333. (2pr) + 2r.
By the way, between May 14, 2014 (66th anniversary) and the
Tabernacles Eclipse of 2015 is also 501 days. The pattern of 501
repeats.
Daniel W. Matson

The patterns then seem clear at this point. The tetrads are
offset at significant day count intervals from the events
themselves. However, there is yet another tetrad to consider and
apply the same principles found here. Even a tetrad from the time
of Columbus has bearing on our time. It brings even more order
to the final equation.

Chapter 2
The Tetrad of Tetrads

In the previous chapter, attention was brought to significant
day counts involving Israel and the three tetrads of lunar eclipses
that have occurred on the Feasts of the Lord. The tetrads of
concern were 1949-1950, 1967-1968, and the current one of
2014-2015. Instead of being signs with mere relative nearness to
the events, day counts demonstrated what looks to be a divine
order of a precise nature. As with any discovery, there is always
room for more discovery. Hence, we move to the other tetrad
given significance in the blood moon narrative that occurred in
1493-1494.
In 1492 Columbus discovered America for Spain, but in 1492
the Spanish Inquisition also began, which began a national purge
of those unacceptable to the state religion. Concerning those
from Israel, they were no longer welcome, unless they converted
to Catholicism. The Spanish Inquisition also began on the 9th of
Av, which is the anniversary day of both Jerusalem Temples
being destroyed in 587 BC and 70 AD. Interestingly, 600 days
after the start of the Inquisition was the third eclipse of the tetrad
on March 22, 1494 and thus, it was also 777 days until the final
eclipse of the tetrad on September 15, 1494. The day count
pattern is similar to the other recent tetrads and that makes this
tetrad of 1493-1494 apparently significant. Is it any wonder that
Daniel W. Matson
24
the Inquisition is regarded as one of the most significant
moments of Jewish history of the Diaspora?
The important fact was that the tetrad of 1493-1494, though
remote, was also significant with regards to Israel. But was that
the end of its significance? The span of time involved in a tetrad
is three sets of 177 days between eclipses. This totals 531 days for
the duration of the tetrad. What happens if each day is
representative of one year? If we add 531 years to 1493 the
resulting year is 2024. As has been demonstrated, 2024 looks to
be the final seventh year that fulfills the majority of prophecy in
the Bible.
Amazingly, two of the other tetrads' eclipses were also linked

to November 11, 2024 by specific day counts. The first eclipse of
the tetrad of 1949-1950 was exactly 6,666 x pi + 6,666 days
before that date. The last eclipse of 2014-2015s tetrad is exactly
3,333 days before that very date. This date of November 11, 2024
looks to be Day 1290 spoken of by Daniel. That is 1,290 days after
the mid-point of the 70th Week of Daniel. That day is 30 days
after the Day of Atonement, which looks to mark the end of the
Daniel W. Matson
25
Tribulation. Maybe we should consider the following verse with
regards to the final sign of the sun and moon:
Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will
be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will
fall from heaven, and the powers of the heaven will be shaken.
Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then
all the tribes of the Earth will mourn, and they will see the the
Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and
great glory. Matthew 24:29-30
However, there is still one other tetrad that has not been
linked to 2024. The tetrad of 1967-1968 is that tetrad. The lunar
eclipse that occurred on the Feast of Tabernacles 1968 occurred
exactly 490 days after the Six-Day-War began, which brought to
mind Daniels 70 Weeks. What is odd is that 20,000 + 490 days
after this eclipse is the date of November 11, 2024. 20,490 days
seemed a bit suspicious in itself, but when tied to a previous
period of 490 days, it seemed highly significant especially since
the 3,333 days of the current tetrad also has a significant number
of days before that eclipse as well. 2006s Lebanon-Israeli War
ended 3,333 days before the eclipse of September 28, 2015 and
that war lasted 33 days. This can be seen in the diagram below.
In the end, it looks like the tetrads are in themselves a Tetrad
Quartet that points to significant events of Israel concurrent with
each tetrad, but that overall, all four of the tetrads narrow in on
the time that is the zenith of biblical prophecythe establishment
of the Messianic Kingdom on Earth. Is this what the numbers are
revealing? To this author it would seem so. Each person will have
to decide the likelihood of these claims. Even for those who
remain suspicious of this, it would be wise to consider the
possibility that we are at the very door. Consider the matter
carefully.
Daniel W. Matson
26
Extra note: 2006s war involving Israel began (120 x 120 - 120)
days from the day Israel gained the Temple Mount on June 7,
1967. The war started 120 days before Heshvan 17, 2006, which
was the anniversary day that the Flood of Noah began. That day
can also be expressed as 40 360-day years from June 7, 1967.
4,000 days from Heshvan 17, 2006 comes to Heshvan 1, 2017,
which looks to be 30 days after the Feast of Trumpets 2017, but
30 days before the possible start of the 70th Week of 2520 days.

Chapter 3
The Great Sign

Now a great sign appeared in heaven:
a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet,
and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give
birth.
Revelation 12:1-2
Some months ago it was circulating that the first eclipse of
2014-2015s lunar tetrad demonstrated the possible start of the
Tribulation. This is because the first eclipse came nearly 1,260
days before the coming appearance of a sign that looks to be the
fulfillment of Revelation 12. It was concluded that this sign on
September 23, 2017 was the possible mid-point of the
Tribulation with the Tribulation running from April 2014 to April
of 2021. This theory did not seem right since the midpoint of the
seven year Tribulation should be the opposite season to allow for
a fall festival conclusion of the 70th Week to fulfill the Feasts of
the Lord. Further, it can be discounted now since we are not in
the Tribulation and the eclipse has passed. However, the
heavenly sign itself on September 23, 2017 does look to be the
sign of Revelation 12. It is, therefore, time to address this sign as
to how it fits the coming time of the end.
Daniel W. Matson
28
September 23, 2017
Daniel W. Matson
29
Revelation 12 comes right after the conclusion of the seventh
trumpet and what is the end of the seven year tribulation. With
chapter 12, we cut away from that time to a picture of the overall
war of Satan upon Israel and the Messiah. The woman is Israel
and the twelve stars are the twelve tribes of Israel. Paralleling
Josephs dream, the moon and sun also represented his mother
and father (Genesis 37:10), and as we later learn in Revelation 12,
the child is the Messiah. This sign plays out in the heavens on
September 23, 2017 when the sun goes down in Israel. That day
is Tishri 3 and the Fast of Gedaliah.
While the sign of Revelation 12 pictures Israel and the
Messiah, it is still a great sign in heavena literal sign. It should
be treated as a sign of major significance. The problem is that
some have viewed this sign as relating to the middle of the
Tribulation. The reason that is done is because of its context with
the dragon (Satan) who is thrown down from heaven to persecute
Israel for 1,260 days (3.5 years) until the conclusion of the 70th
Week. However, this sign is broader in scope since it also refers
to the birth of Jesus over 2,000 years ago. Some have even tried
to say this sign played out at the time of Christs birth, but the
planetary alignments put forward of that time do not match what
occurs in 2017.
For those who have been following this work here, there was
an important discovery made eight years ago regarding the Great
Pyramid and its heavenly alignment just three days earlier on
September 20, 2017. It almost seems comical now that the great
sign of Revelation 12 was missed at that time while focusing in on
three days earlier. However, that find, along with this sign of
Revelation 12, frame what seems now to become one of the most
significant days in future history. That day is known as the Feast
of Trumpets, Yom Teruah (the awakening blast), the Day of
Shouting, the Day of the Resurrection, Coronation Day, and the
Last Trump. It is believed this day is the day of the
transformation of the dead and living saints at the time known as
Daniel W. Matson
30
the Rapture. The Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah is in the
middle of these signs.
The sign of Revelation 12 has many details that are common
occurrences, but uncommon when all put together. The first part
of the sign is the woman clothed with the sun. This happens every
year, but it narrows the time down to around the autumnal
equinox at this time in history. That woman is represented by
Virgo--the virgin. She is clothed by the sun from mid-September
to early October. September 23, 2017 meets these requirements.
The next requirement is that the moon must be under the feet
of Virgo. With the sun in Virgo and her feet to the east, the moon
must be a few days past new moon. Since the Hebrew Calendar
is lunar and the Feast of Trumpets (September 21, 2017) is on the
new moon, September 23-25 places the moon in the correct
position. This happens every year on the Hebrew Calendar as
long as the new moon did not occur too early or too late in
relation to the equinox, which would put the sun too high or low
in Virgo. Here it is perfect. The requirement of the moon and sun
narrows it down to a couple days in certain years. The rest of the
parts of the sign must then coincide with this time if we are able
to observe this sign.
On September 23, 2017 there are four planets in the vicinity
that complete the sign and its ultimate uniqueness. Mercury,
Venus, Mars, and Jupiter play their parts. Above the head of
Virgo is the constellation Leo. In Leo at this time there will be
Mars, Venus, and Mercury. With Leo being a constellation of
nine principle stars, the three wandering stars (planets) make it
twelve at this time. Thus the garland of twelve stars is upon the
woman. For three planets to be in Leo at this time with all of the
other preconditions makes this rare. Combined with the final
piece of the picture below is what makes this sign difficult of not
nearly impossible to replicate anywhere close to the time in
which we live. How rare? A search 150 years before and 150 years
Daniel W. Matson
31
after September 23, 2017 produced no other results 2 . Mark
Chiswell searched 7,000 years of history, 6,000 back and 1,000
forward, to find only this occurrence in 2017.
The final piece of the sign is Jupiter. Jupiter was known by the
Jews as the planet of the Messiah. Jupiter enters the sign of Virgo
on August 27, 2016, which coincides with a close conjunction of
Venus. The next such close conjunction with these two brightest
planets is 49 years later. Jupiter itself enters Virgo about every 12
years. The August 27, 2016 conjunction comes exactly 400 days
before Yom Kippur 2017. Yom Kippur always ends Teshuvah,
which is a 40 day season of repentance. Does Jupiter and Venus
mark a ten-fold application needed at that time?
Jupiter then spends those 400 days in Virgo. As the sign of
Revelation 12 forms on September 23, 2017, Jupiter is in the
womb of Virgo and is about to be born. Remember, the meaning
of Tribulation refers to the period of labor pains before birth. The
world is going to go through a period of delivery to result in the
Messianic Kingdom. This sign speaks to those coming seven
yearsthe worst in human history. However, we have been
warned and God will deliver those who have put their trust in
Christ by taking them to heaven before the seven years begins.
For those who will miss that opportunity, Gods grace will still
abound for those who change and believe that Jesus Christ is the
Savior of the world, but they will have to endure the Tribulation.
Jupiter, though spends more than 400 days in Virgo. It is
provocative that six days before what looks to be the start of the
2520 days of the Tribulation, Venus and Jupiter make another
conjunction (but not visible because of the sun) on November 13,
Mark Chiswell wrote emails to this author sharing his finds with regards to
this sign. Mark Chiswell constructed a spread sheet to examine history and
future alignments that could fit Revelation 12. http://bit.ly/1rRoKVc. He also
made a video of his discoveries. http://bit.ly/1qTwrLs.

2017. This is 444 days from the conjunction of August 27, 2016.
Is it any accident then that Jupiter leaves Virgo when the
Tribulation will begin? The next sign in the Mazzeroth (Zodiac)
is the scales of Librajudgment. It all lines up at the right time.
However, let us go back from the sign of Revelation 12 to the
day of the first lunar eclipse of the Tetrad of 2014-2015. The
eclipse of April 15, 2014 occurred at a specific place in the
heavens. As a time marker that points to the sign of Revelation
12, it should also have some significance. This eclipse on Passover
2014 occurred right next to the star of Spica in Virgo. Jesus own
body was sacrificed for us on Passover. He was the Seed of the
Woman. He was the ear of grain that must die that life may
abound. Spica in Hebrew is Zerah meaning seedthe Seed of
the Woman. It is the same word as found in the promises of
Genesis. It is fitting then that this sign of the lunar eclipse points
to the sign of Revelation 12, which speaks of the Messiahs birth,
but also to the necessary second part of Jesus coming back to
Earth.
With an interval of 1260 days between the signs (inclusive
count of April 15, 2014 to September 25, 2017), it would seem
logical that the day count represented a leg of the Tribulation.
But it cannot anymore unless one is to believe we are in the
Tribulation, but we are NOT. However, this sign straight from
Revelation 12 that appears in the sky from September 23 to
September 25 cannot be ignored. Placing this sign in context with
all of the other signs and calculations presented here, it would
seem that this sign is better understood as a warning of the
Tribulation that will soon begin.
The conclusions in the ongoing research is that it looks like the
Rapture will occur on the Feast of Trumpets 2017, which would
be on September 21. That day is sandwiched between the sign
involving the Great Pyramid and Revelation 12. If the Tribulation
ends on the Day of Atonement 2024, then 2,520 days back from
Daniel W. Matson
33
that day is November 19, 2017. The sign of Revelation 12 then
comes 57 days before the Tribulation. This gap matches the gap
between the end of Daniels 69 weeks on Palm Sunday and the
beginning of the Church on Pentecost.
The sign of Revelation 12 makes sense as a sign warning to us
all that the Tribulation is coming, just as depicted in the sign
itself with the virgin (Israel) about to go through tribulation. For
the Church, our time is then short. The requirements of the sign
make it extremely rare making 2017 the only year in which it
coincides with the final generation. By default, it must be a sign
that precedes the Tribulation and signs should be a warning of
what is soon coming. But all too often, the heavenly sign of
Revelation 12 is glossed over and not looked at as an actual visible
sign that can be observed. It happens in just over two years. Its
time to get ready...
Daniel W. Matson

Additional Note
While perusing through Jupiters position among the stars,
there was something else that presented itself. On the 9th of Av
2024, Jupiter will be in the sign of Taurus. It will be between the
horns. The common Hebrew name for Taurus is Shur, which can
mean both coming and ruling or in other words, the coming
judge. In short, Taurus represents the coming governor, Jesus
Christ, with his congregation (meaning of the Pleiades, which is
in Taurus).
On the day known for Jewish sorrow due to the number of
calamities that have fallen on this day, Mars comes into
conjunction with Jupiter between the horns. Mars, in Hebrew
Maadim, meaning the Adam, the Red One or the Son of Man.
On this day it is believed there will be 60 days left of the
Tribulation. This sign looks to speak of that time when Jesus will
shortly return to end the Tribulation with the Church
accompanying him.
No other signs or conjunctions after
this at this time come into view.
However, there will be the final signs of
the stars falling from the sky, and the
moon and sun being darkened. It must
also be remembered here that on the 9th
of Av 1994, Comet Shoemaker-Levy
struck Jupiter causing much fear when
the effects of such a collision were
observed and then imagined upon Earth.
The 9th of Av 2024 will be the 110th
anniversary from the beginning of World
War 1 and 30 years from ShoemakerLevy.
Daniel W. Matson
35
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun
be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars
shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be
shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in
heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the Earth mourn, and
they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.
Matthew 24: 29-30

Chapter 4
The Solar Eclipses

In the previous article concerning the Great Sign of Revelation
12, a 400 day connection was found to Yom Kippur 2017 via a
conjunction of Venus and Jupiter on August 27, 2016. However,
there is another sign to note. It is the solar eclipse of August 21,
2017. From this eclipse it is 40 days until Yom Kippur 2017,
which is on September 30. Before the modern Hebrew calendar,
from Elul 1 until the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) it was 40
days and known as the Season of Repentance. The Modern
Hebrew Calendar gives us 39 days from
Elul 1 to Yom Kippur. The total solar
eclipse of August 21, 2017 essentially
begins this traditional 40 day Season of
Repentance.
The diagram on the right depicts the
moment of the eclipse of the sun at the
heart of Leo next to Regulus. Thirty days
later Venus will conjunct with Regulus
just before the Feast of Trumpets. A total
solar eclipse just before Elul 1 last
occurred on August 11, 1999. The next
total solar eclipse after 2017 at the time of Elul 1 is August 12,
2026. However, only the eclipse of 2017 is next to Regulus. Since
the rebirth of Israel in 1948, no other total solar eclipse occurs
Daniel W. Matson
37
next to Regulus (star of the King) kicking off the Season of
Repentance. This sign then adds to the matrix of signs at this
time.
One of the problems in initially including this sign was for the
fact that it will not be visible in the lands of the Bible. As shown
on the map below, it is largely limited to the Americas. However,
the eclipses location near Regulus seems to be one of the more
significant details of the sign. However, after the release of
Jonathan Cahns, The Harbinger, too often the significance of
America has been dismissed. America was a nation founded by
Christians for religious liberty that has benefited the world
through missionary outreach. Is
it not appropriate that at the close
of the Church Age that this eclipse
be a sign impacting the area that
has been important to the Church
at its end? After all, it would
appear that after the Rapture of
the Church, the weak or negligent
allies of Israel are judged by God in Ezekiel 38-39. For those in
America, it may be an especially critical time to repent as it looks
like it will be just days away from receiving judgment even
before the 2,520 days of the 70th Week begins. For those alive
at this present time who have not believed in the Lord Jesus
Christ would do well to repent and believe in Him, otherwise they
will be left behind to endure the coming Day of the Lord.
The Season of Repentance is the call to repent before the Day
of the Lord. Jewish tradition says those who are written in the
Book of Life (the saved) will be resurrected on the Feast of
Trumpets. The undecided and evil ones will then have time to
repent during the time of judgment that ends at the Day of
Atonement. The period of time between the Feast of Trumpets
and the Day of Atonement is representative of the seven years of
the Tribulation. It is fitting then that an eclipse of such
Daniel W. Matson
38
significance occurs at the time of the Season of Repentance. It
looks to be another sign pointing towards the significance of
2017, as the time that looks to begin the seven years before Christ
establishes his kingdom on Earth.
In the diagram below, the periods of 444, 400, and 40 days are
displayed. The period of 40 days have just been discussed. The
period of 400 days provides a tenfold countdown to Yom Kippur
2017. It is also interesting that here we see the number 444.
Other duplicates have also been encountered such as those with
3 and 6 in the discoveries involving the lunar tetrads. Here it is
the number 4. It is even then more shocking to find the duplicates
of 8. This involves another future solar eclipse.
There is another total solar eclipse on the horizon that occurs

on March 20, 2015. Sandwiched between the lunar eclipses of the
current tetrad, it occurs just before the religious new year begins
on Nisan 1 (March 21). This eclipse will be visible in the North
Atlantic (the Faroe Islands-a fishing economy) and will occur in
the constellation of Pisces. Pisces speaks of the Redeemers
People or us. Here there is a solar eclipse that occurs 888 days
Daniel W. Matson
39
before the Season of Repentance 2017. 888 is the number of our
Redeemers name in GreekJesus (). Consistent with the
other patterns seen with these signs, is it not a surprise that
another 88 days after the 888 will come to the day that looks to
begin the count of 2,520 days?
The eclipse of 2015 is also significant in that it will be seen
from the North Pole as its six months of darkness ends on the
Equinox. Those conditions make this a very rare event. Not only
does this eclipse occur in Pisces, but as viewed from the North
Pole, one would be able to see the King Star, Regulus, crossing
meridian with the solar eclipse
153 degrees away. Likewise, that
makes the next solar eclipse in
2017 next to Regulus 153 degrees
away as well. Yes, that is the fish
number from John 21. But the
rarity of this eclipse at this time
and at that location bring another
shocking find.
A day consists of a period of
light and darkness, which is
usually 24 hours. However, at the
North Pole, one day of light and
darkness is one year. This is
because it has six months of
darkness and then six months of
light. Years then become days in this sense of the definition. As
we count down to the period of seven years that make up the 70th
Week of Daniel, it appears that those seven years begin in 2017.
Here then is an interesting parallel. How many of these year for
a day periods exist from Daniels Prophecy of the 70 Weeks in
539 BC until AD 2017? That time is 2,555 years, but if converted
to 2,555 days, which makes seven years (7 x 365) from the
perspective of the North Pole. It is then seven years until the
Daniel W. Matson
40
final seven years of Daniel. The solar eclipse of 2015 points to the
key elements and days of 2017.3
However, that is not all with this eclipse and 2017. From
March 20, 2015 it is 918 days until the Sign of Revelation 12 on
September 23, 2017. That can be broken down to six periods of
153 days. This seems significant since this eclipse also occurs 153
degrees from Regulusthe star of the King. There is also another
interesting number tied to the eclipse of March 20, 2015 that will
be covered later that relates to 153.
The year 2015 has another date of interest. Yom Kippur 2015
proves to be 2,520 exact weeks from June 7, 1967 when Israel
won the Temple Mount. This can also be expressed as 49 360day years. The original tetrad theory thought Yom Kippur 2015
may be the Tribulation endpoint. That is now impossible.
However, in counting these days, Yom Kippur 2015 is an exact
700 days before Elul 1, 2017 and the Season of Repentance. What
Yom Kippur 2015 may involve, if anything, is open for discussion,
but it has no conclusion in some truncated version of the 70th
Week.
On another note, there is also another total eclipse on March
9, 2016. 490 days from this eclipse is the 17th of Tammuz 2017...
Are all of these alignments an accident? The solar eclipses
along with the lunar eclipses all seem to point towards the same
year2017. It is that year that possesses unique signs that would
appear to highlight the beginning of the seven year Tribulation.
The patterns seem clear, but it still takes faith to believe. As this
is being written and discovered it is also the 17th of Tammuz
today (2014). How provocative. Israel has just finished one
Charles Saffell contributed the research through correspondence concerning
the view and perspective from the North Pole involving the 153 degrees and
and period of seven years. His findings can be found at Joybysurprise.com.

intense week of rocket attacks with miraculously having no
deaths until today. One of the final tests of the Church will
probably be the Churchs handling and blessing of Israel. Will we
hand off the torch properly or not? A lot depends on whether the
Church rightly understands its place in Gods Plan and is
watching for the Day.
Additional Note
The 2017 eclipse across America at the possible close of the
Church is provocative. When 9-11 occurred, it seemed as if Gods
protection on this nation was being removed. The fact that the
location of 9-11 was next to the church where our founding
fathers prayed at after their first meeting was profoundly shown
in The Harbinger. Jonathan Cahn thinks something of economic
significance may occur to America on Elul 29, 2015, which is
September 13th. On this day there will also be a partial solar
eclipse, but not visible from the United States. However, June 7,
Daniel W. Matson
42
1967 has proven to have significant day counts that emanate from
it. On September 11, 2017, it will be 18,360 days from June 7,
1967. This is 51 360-day years or 153 x 120 days. This has been
discussed previously in the first book. That September 11th also
comes up at this time may be another clue to the further demise
of the United States right about the time the Church will
end. According to the War in Ezekiel 38-39, the United States at
that time will do nothing substantial to help Israel. However,
Israel will get help from someone much better. Israel will be
victorious through God alone and many in Israel will begin to see
the light.

Chapter 5
The Pisces Events

It had been previously noted that the
total solar eclipse on March 20, 2015
occurs 888 days before the Season of
Repentance 2017 (Elul 1August 23). This
eclipse is in the middle of the ongoing
lunar tetrad that is occurring on the Lords
Feast Days in 2014 and 2015. This solar
eclipse also occurs in Pisces just before the
religious new year begins on Nisan 1
(March 21). However, there is another
event in the heavens that repeats the Pisces
theme and follows a similar countdown.
On February 22, 2015 there will be a
conjunction of Mars and Venus in the
constellation of Pisces. This conjunction
will occur in nearly the same place as the
solar eclipse of March 20th just twenty-six
days earlier. The computer models to the
right show the similarity. But does this
event reveal another peculiar day count?
From the total solar eclipse of March
20, 2015 it was found that not only was it
Daniel W. Matson
44
888 days until the Season of Repentance, it was then another 88
days until what looks to be the start day of Daniels 70th Week.
This is because November 19, 2017 comes 2,520 days prior to the
Day of Atonement 2024. If we count the days from the other
Pisces event of the Mars and Venus conjunction, that day
surprisingly comes 1,000 days prior to the start of the 2,520 days.
Is that just another interesting coincidence? Or is it another piece
of awe in a building puzzle that points to 2017?
Pisces speaks of the Redeemers People. 888 is the number of
our Redeemers name in GreekJesus. Then there is this
conjunction of Mars (judgment) and Venus (Messianic splendor)
1,000 days before the start of the 2,520 days of the 70th Week of
Daniel. Could these 1,000 days be pointing to the fact that the
Day of the Lord will then begin at this time, a day that is
equivalent to none other than 1,000 years? After all, the
Tribulation and the reign of Messianic peace are all part of the
Day of the Lord. This was viewed as the seventh day of the
sabbatical week of 7,000 years.
These unique day counts then focus on what looks to be the
start of the 70th Week of Daniel. It is this authors conclusion that
this time is not begun with a peace treaty confirmed by the
Antichrist. Instead, the Abrahamic Covenant is confirmed by our
Lord when He delivers Israel from the war described in Psalm 83
and Ezekiel 38-39. When God delivers Israel, their eyes will be
opened and then many in Israel will be saved. The 144,000
Jewish male virgin witnesses attest to that fact. Even a broader
scope of Israelites will believe and follow what our Lord has
revealed to aid in their protection through the worst period of
human history. It will not be until the end of the seven years that
all the Israelites alive then will believe in their Messiah.
With the timing of all of these events and the escalation of
others, time is drawing to a close on the Church Age. In the end,
Daniel W. Matson
45
we should be able to have seen the end, and the heavens seem to
be a factor in this. Keep looking upliterally!

Chapter 6
Jupiter and Venus

On August 18, 2014 Jupiter and Venus came within 0.3
degrees of each other in the constellation of Cancer. This author
witnessed the event without being aware that it was going to
occur. Sometimes getting up and out of the house early has its
payoffs. Just before the sun came
up, the planets were close to the
horizon and it took a double take
to ensure that it was not an
oncoming plane. Being attuned
recently to the Jupiter-Venus
conjunction of 2016 meant it was
time to look and see if there could
possibly be a tie into the prophetic
scenario.
The previous study of a
Jupiter-Venus conjunction was
centered on August 27, 2016. This
coming conjunction will have a
rare separation of just 0.06
degrees. It was found that it will
occur 360 days before the total solar eclipse in Leo on August 21,
2017. The day count from the August 18, 2014 conjunction until
Daniel W. Matson
47
the August 27, 2016 conjunction will be 740 days. Therefore, the
day count from August 18, 2014 until the solar eclipse in Leo is
exactly 1100 days. It will then be another 30 days until the sign
of the Great Pyramid and then one more day until the Feast of
Trumpets 2017. That brings the count to 1131 days, which may
seem like an obscure number, or rathermaybe not.
1131 days was curious since it was similar to another number
used before involving the ratio of pi (1113 divided by pi equals the
length of the Lunar Year). It was found that 1131 days divided by
pi (3.141592654) is equal to 360 (360.0084813). Not only is 360
the length of the year found in Bible prophecy, but it was also the
time between the close conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in 2016
and the total solar eclipse in Leo in 2017. The significance of these
signs was established earlier. The Cancer sign of 2014
numerically ties into the other signs and the Feast of Trumpets
2017 by pi. Was there any other significance to the conjunction
of 2014?
This conjunction occurred right next to the star formation
known today as the Beehive. It is a mass of stars that makes sense
of the name, but it was given other names in ancient times. It was
called Praesepe, which means a multitude, offspring. In ancient
Egypt, Cancer was known as Scarabeus., which was the sacred
beetle that depicted the coming resurrection. It was also called
Klaria, which meant the cattle folds. In the Arabic it was Al
Sarian, which meant the one who holds or binds. The Syriac
Sartano meant the same. The Greek for Cancer was Karkinos,
which meant holding or encircling. The Latin Cancer means the
same as the Greek.
The stars of Cancer also bear the overall message of the
constellation. There are 83 stars in Cancer. The brightest star
Tegmine means holding. The star Acubene means sheltering or
hiding place. The star Ma'alaph meaning assembled thousands.
The star Al Himarein meaning the kids or lambs. The meaning
Daniel W. Matson
48
of the constellation and its stars has thus been stated by E.W.
Bullinger as Messiahs redeemed possession held fast. Cancer is
then a picture of Messiahs redeemed who are resurrected and
then protected depicting a still future eventthe Rapture.
With Cancer having 83 stars it seems striking that Psalm 83
also speaks of the hidden ones who are now protected before the
war to destroy Israel begins at the onset of the Day of the Lord.
In that Psalm the enemies of Israel have also plotted against
those who have been delivered to safety via the resurrection. This
would seem to be a clue that all is not well before the Rapture.
Indeed we are witnessing that very thing escalate today in the
Middle East and this should not be a surprise, if we are just a few
years away from that event.
Could it be that the planets that represent the Messiah

(Jupiter) and His glory (Venus, the morning star) gathered at the
promise of our resurrection to protection (Cancer) signaled the
actual coming Rapture in a mere 1,131 days or pi times the
prophetic year of 360 days? That the most significant
Daniel W. Matson
49
conjunction of the same planets comes 360 days before a total
solar eclipse at the start of the Season of Repentance is also
beyond coincidence. It would be interesting to see when such an
alignment of events would ever occur again. Even within this
final generation, it is probably impossible. If God will show us
signs in the heavens, and He has, then with these, we should take
note and take a moment of pause.
The Jupiter and Venus Conjunction on July 1, 2015
The next conjunction of Jupiter and Venus is slated for July 1,
2015. This conjunction will be at 0.3 degrees of separation like
the last one 317 days previously on August 18, 2014. This
conjunction will be seen in the evening after sunset in the
constellation of Leo. At first there seemed no obvious day counts
of significance. However, a key factor was the use of pi, just like
the previous conjunction.
The day count from the conjunction of July 1, 2015 will be 814
days until the Feast of Trumpets 2017. In the previous
conjunction, this end date of the Feast of Trumpets 2017 was also
significant from the time of that conjunction. What was the
possible significance of 814 days from July 1, 2015? 814 divided
by pi equals 259 which produces no matches. 814 times pi equals
2,557, which also might seem inconclusive. However, 2,557 days
is the length of seven solar years. Of course seven years is the
length of the upcoming Tribulation that essentially begins with
the Rapture. That is essentially, since the 70th Week of Daniel is
to be 2,520 days, which looks to begin two months after the
Rapture.
It must be said how interesting that in both conjunctions and
calculations that different years are used. First was the prophetic
year of 360 days and then here there are seven solar years of
365.2422 days. It should be fairly straightforward that these
Daniel W. Matson
50
calculations are no accident or coincidence. It is by design. But
clearly, two conjunctions involving both uses of a year and pi
narrowing in on the Feast of Trumpets 2017 cannot be
overlooked or dismissed as coincidental. With God, all things are
possible, even aligning the planets and the stars.
The Jupiter and Venus Conjunction on October 25, 2015

With the findings of the last two conjunctions, it seemed best
to press on with any others between now and 2017. Technically,
there is a conjunction between Venus and Jupiter on August 4,
2015, but it has a very large separation and did not make some
lists of coming conjunctions. More on that in a bit. However, on
October 25, 2015 there is another conjunction with one degree of
separation in the hind section of Leo with Mars nearby. Was
there anything that seemed significant with this conjunction?
If we count the days from this conjunction, it will be found that
666 days later is the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017 in Leo.
Continuing the count on towards the Fall Feasts of the Lord, it
Daniel W. Matson
51
will then be 700 days until September 23, 2017, which is the day
of the Sign of Revelation 12! Two periods of day counts that are
not arbitrary then coincide with other signs of importance.
We must then go back to the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus
that seems too far apart to be significant on August 4, 2015. If we
run the time through the star programs a much closer grouping
occurs between Mercury, Jupiter, and Regulus on August 7, 2015.
This occurs 777 days before the Feast of Trumpets 2017, which is
the first day of the seventh Hebrew month. This is interesting
since from the end of the Lebanon War of 2006 (August 14,
2006) it was also 777 days until the Stock Market drop of 777
points on September 29, 2008just before the Feast of Trumpets
or on them at the time, if one was in Jerusalem. That is just some
more food for thought.
The grouping of Mercury (Messenger or Scribe) with Jupiter
(Messiah) at Regulus (King of Judah) 777 days before the Feast
of Trumpets (Day of Resurrection or coronation of the King) is
most remarkable. How often will a sign like this occur 777 days
before the Feast of Trumpets? And this is just one sign among
many pointing to this year of 2017. It all comes as one big
impossible package that is in synch.
Here then is the counts of 666 and 777 days. Other such
numbers have appeared in the other discoveries with regards to
the other conjunctions or blood moons. For example, there is also
444 and 888 days. Then there is 3,333 days. The 3,333 days
repeats and also we have seen 333, 666, and 6,666 days. Some
involve the same dates but use the different counts listed here. It
is nothing short of amazing and demands all of these things be
placed in one comprehensive diagram (in a later chapter). To do
so would probably lead to other finds and conclusions that help
solidify Gods unveiling plan of these last days. It is not an
accident.

Chapter 7
The Next Beehive Conjunction

Purely by chance, another conjunction was found among the
Beehive of Cancer. On July 17, 2016, 40 days before the very near
conjunction of Venus and Jupiter on August 27, 2016, comes this
conjunction of Mercury and Venus
in the constellation of Cancer. Forty
days is interesting enough, but this
also means that the prior
conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in
Cancer on August 18, 2014 was
exactly 700 days earlier. 700 days
was also found to exist between the
October 25, 2015 conjunction of
Venus and Jupiter and the apparent
fulfillment of the Revelation 12 sign
on September 23-25, 2017. This
also means that this conjunction on
July 17, 2016 is also 400 days before
the solar eclipse in Leo on August
21, 2017. It seems apparent then
that this conjunction in the Beehive is important in the
countdown to 2017.
One fascinating aspect of the previous conjunction of Jupiter
and Venus in the Beehive on August 18, 2014 was that it came
1131 days before the Feast of Trumpets 2017. That number
Daniel W. Matson
54
divided by pi equals 360 days which not only is a certain unit of
time used in the Bible, but also that the close conjunction of
Venus and Jupiter on August 27, 2016 will come 360 days before
the total solar eclipse in Leo on August 21, 2017. It also must be
remembered that another pi number was found to have occurred
before the Feast of Trumpets 2017. 814 days before that feast
there is a conjunction of Venus and Jupiter on July 1, 2015. Those
number of days multiplied by pi are equal to 7 solar years of 2,556
days. The key here is that pi was found in two calculations. And
now with this second Beehive conjunction discovery, a third use
of pi unfolds.
The Beehive conjunction on July 17, 2016 completes a 700 day
count from the Beehive conjunction of August 18, 2014. That
first conjunction in the Beehive also comes 1100 days before the
total solar eclipse in Leo on August 21, 2017. The numbers of 700
and 1100 form a half pi ratio. Pi is often represented as 22/7 in
fractional form. Therefore, 2 x 1100/700 is also equal to pi. If day
counts of 1100, 700, and 400 were not enough, now another
similar ratio of a circle of pi is involved. Are these coincidences
then as easy as pi?
However, there is always more pi in this case. All of the day
counts in these calculations of pi are inclusive day countsthat is
to count the start and end days. Of the day counts listed above,
the period of 400 days remains unchecked. By inclusive count, it
is actually 401 days from the second Beehive conjunction until
the total solar eclipse in Leo on August 21, 2017. If we take 401
days and multiply it by pi, we will find that it equals 1,260 days.
Of course, 1,260 is the portion of each half of the seven year
Tribulation, but it was also the number of days from the first
eclipse of the current tetrad (April 15, 2014) until the fulfillment
of the Revelation 12 sign on September 23-25, 2017. The
inclusive count of 1,260 days ends at September 25th.
The math and astronomy involved are one thing, but when
Daniel W. Matson
55
these things also line up with significant locations such as the
Beehive in Cancer, it is another. These Beehive signs point to the
gathering of thousands upon thousands to the sheltering place
the rooms (mansions) that have been prepared for us. Will we be
protected on the day the ratio of the circle or encircling (the
Greek meaning of Cancer) points us towardsthat being the
Feast of Trumpets 2017? That all depends on whether we have
believed and accepted the gift of God, which is salvation through
Jesus the Messiah.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to
condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be
saved.
John 3:16-17
Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe
also in Me. In My Fathers house are many mansions; if it were
not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Daniel W. Matson
56
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and
receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be
also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.
Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where you are
going, and how can we know the way?
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through Me.
John 14:1-6

Chapter 8
Tetrads, Solar Eclipses, and

Conjunctions Recap
Over the past year, many peculiarities have been found that
add credibility to the significance of the tetrad of blood moons
and their associated solar eclipses. Even planetary conjunctions
lend their support of the Last Days scenario. It is truly
remarkable and beyond human ingenuity. While the sun and
moon turning to darkness concurrently is reserved for the time
at the end of the Tribulation of seven years, these events point
ahead or back to the significant events of our era. Our
appointment draws close.
The Blood Moons
In review, the first tetrad of blood moons of our era occurred
in 1949-1950. Israel was reborn in 1948, but this rare event of
blood moons on four days of the Feasts of the Lord tie into the
events of Israels rebirth. Here is a list of those days and what has
been found so far:
1. Passover 1949 (April 13): Comes at an interval of 500
days after the UN partition Plan for Israel 1947. It is also
333 days after Israel is made a nation on May 14, 1948.
Still it is 33 days after Israel wins its 300 day war for
independence with the raising of the Ink Flag on March
10, 1949. This was incredible. It is also noteworthy that
Daniel W. Matson
58
from the raising of the Ink Flag until the end of the SixDay-War it was also 6,666 days. But as detailed in the
previous book, an additional 6,666 days multiplied by pi
will come exactly to the Day of Atonement 2024. This
eclipse also comes 6,666 days times pi plus 6,666 days
before another important dayDay 1290 from the middle
of the 70th Week..
2. Tabernacles 1949 (October 7)
3. Passover 1950 (April 2)
4. Tabernacles 1950 (September 26)
The second tetrad of blood moons occurred from 1967 to 1968.
Shortly after the first eclipse, the momentous Six-Day-War
occurred. All significant events at that time hinged off of this
tetrad as well. Here is the list of those days:
1. Passover 1967 (April 24) This eclipse occurred exactly 6
weeks before the Six-Day-War. 666 days after the war
began, the Knesset established the JQDC to rebuild war
torn Jerusalem on Passover of 1969. This also occurred
62 weeks of years after Suleiman the Magnificent decreed
the rebuilding of Jerusalem and its walls in AD 1535a
possible secondary application of Daniel 9.
4. Tabernacles 1968 (October 6) This eclipse occurred 490
days after the beginning of the Six-Day War. This eclipse
also occurred exactly 5 solar years before 1973s Yom
Kippur War. This eclipse also comes 20,490 days before
what looks to be Day 1290 on November 11, 2024.
The current set of blood moons is occurring from 2014 to 2015.
Many people have wondered what this may bring next in the
prophetic scenario. Here are the mathematical connections of
Daniel W. Matson
59
significance or potential significance:
1. Passover 2014 (April 15) This eclipse comes 1260 days
before the sign of Revelation 12 on September 23-25
2017. The eclipse occurred next to the star Spicathe
Seeda rare event in itself.
4. Tabernacles (September 28) This eclipse comes 3,333
days after the end of Israels 33-day war with Hezbollah
on August 14, 2006 (Anniversary of the end of WW2).
This eclipse also comes at 50,001 days after the founding
of Petah Tikva on November 3, 1878. In a similar vein,
this eclipse comes 501 days after the 66th anniversary of
Israels reestablishment on May 14, 1948. This eclipse is
also 501 days before Rosh Hashanah for Trees (known as
a day for watching) on February 11, 2017. The eclipse of
September 28 is also 666 days after the 66th anniversary
of the UN Partition Plan of November 29, 1947. 3,333
days after this eclipse will arrive at November 11, 2024,
which looks to be the day of 1290 days from the 70th
Week mid-point. November 11, 2024 is also 6,666 days
plus 6,666 days times pi from the first blood moon of
1949. This eclipse also comes 333 days before August 27,
2016, which will be a spectacular conjunction between
Venus and Jupiter. Are the tetrads significant?
Absolutely. Next come the intervening total solar eclipses
and then the conjunctions of Venus and Jupiter in this
list.
Total Solar Eclipses
These total solar eclipses occur from the start of the tetrad of
blood moons until the summer of 2017.
Daniel W. Matson
60
1. March 20, 2015 - 888 days until the Season of
Repentance 2017 with another 88 days until the possible
start of the 70th Week of Daniel. This eclipse also comes
153 degrees away from the location of the August 21, 2017
eclipse. March 20, 2015 is also 918 days (153 x 6) before
the Sign of Revelation 12 on September 23, 2017. This
eclipse is also 969 days (think Methuselah) before the
final conjunction of Jupiter and Venus on November 13,
2017. 969 is a related number to 153, which was covered
in the previous book.
2. March 9, 2016 490 days until the 17th of Tammuz 2017.
3. August 21, 2017 - Two days before the Season of
Repentance 2017. 1100 days after Jupiter-Venus
conjunction on August 18, 2014. 666 days after JupiterVenus conjunction on October 25, 2015. 401 days after
Mercury-Venus conjunction in the Beehive on July 17,
2016 (1260/pi). 360 days after Jupiter-Venus
conjunction on August 27, 2016.
Jupiter-Venus Conjunctions
It wasnt until the first conjunction on August 18, 2014 that
this was developed. Here is the sequential conjunctions of
Jupiter and Venus since the start of the Tetrad of 2014-2015.
1. August 18, 2014 - Conjunction next to the Beehive in
Cancer. 1100 days until total eclipse on August 21,
2017. 1131 days until the Feast of Trumpets 2017. 1131
days divided by pi equals 360 days.
2. July 1, 2015 - Conjunction occurs 814 days until Feast of
Trumpets 2017. Seven solar years divided by pi equals
814 days.
3. October 25, 2015 - Conjunction occurs 666 days before
solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. Conjunction occurs 700
days before Revelation 12 Sign on September 23, 2017.
Daniel W. Matson
61
4. August 27, 2016 - Superior conjunction occurs 360 days
before solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. This conjunction
occurs 333 days after the last blood moon of September
28, 2015. 444 days after this conjunction comes the next
Venus-Jupiter conjunction.
5. November 13, 2017 - Last conjunction before the
potential 70th Week in 6 days. 444 days after last
conjunction. 777 days after the last blood moon on
September 28, 2015. Interestingly it is then another 2,556
days (7 solar years) until November 11, 2024 that looks to
be Day 1290. That day is 3,333 days from the last blood
moon of September 28, 2015. This last conjunction is also
969 days after March 20, 2015s solar eclipse.
Mars-Venus Conjunction
Another conjunction that seemed noteworthy was this
conjunction on February 22, 2015. This conjunction comes 1,000
days before the possible start date of the 70th Week of Daniel on
November 19, 2017. That day is 2,520 days before the Day of
Atonement 2024. This conjunction occurs in nearly the same
place in Pisces as the total solar eclipse a few weeks later.
Jupiter-Mercury-Regulus Conjunction
On August 7, 2015 there is this conjunction between Jupiter
(Messiah) and Mercury (Messenger) next to Regulus (the star of
the King). This event occurs 777 days before the Feast of
Trumpets 2017. In an interesting similarity, 777 days before the
Feast of Trumpets 2008, the war between Hezbollah and Israel
had ended on August 14, 2006. Just as the Feast of Trumpets
began in Israel in 2008, the stock market in the USA collapsed
777.7 points. The day before the Feast of Trumpets 2017, Venus
(the Morning Star) will also be in conjunction with Regulus (the
Daniel W. Matson
62
star of the King).
One Last Tetrad - 1493-1494
The tetrad of 1493-1494 has also come to be seen now as
relative to the end. The third eclipse was 600 days after the
Spanish Inquisition was enacted on July 30, 1492. The fourth
eclipse was then 777 days after the enactment. The length of any
tetrad is 531 days to cover all 4 eclipses. 531 years after 1493 is
2024...
Numbers such as these cannot be made out of thin air. At every
turn, there is coincidence. We have been warned...

Chapter 9
Gods Partition Plan

On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram,
saying:
To your descendants I have given this land,
from the river of Egypt to the great riverthe River Euphrates.
Genesis 15:18
For behold, in those days and at that time,
When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,
I will also gather all nations,
And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
And I will enter into judgment with them there
On account of My people, My heritage Israel,
Whom they have scattered among the nations;
They have also divided up My land.
Joel 3:1-2
On November 29, 1947 the United Nations passed the
Partition Plan by a vote of 33 to 13 with 10 nations
abstaining. The Plan was that when the British Mandate ended
the land would be divided between Israeli and Arab. The United
Daniel W. Matson
64
Kingdom had until October 1, 1948
to withdraw and they did withdraw
on May 14, 1948. It has now been
over 67 years since the Partition
Plan was passed.
Recently much attention has
been drawn to the tetrad of blood
moons of 2014-2015, as well as the
associated total solar eclipses.
However, there appears to be
another item of four of glaring
importance. Pieces of that puzzle
were shared with this author by
Charles Saffell who runs the web
site, JoybySurprise. What struck
this author was the four total solar
eclipses that came or will come
near Israel in this era.
The first total solar eclipse on
August 11, 1999 came at the onset
of the Season of Repentance. The
second total solar eclipse near the land of Israel occurred on
March 29, 2006 at the onset of the New Year. The next total solar
eclipse near Israel will occur on August 2, 2027 with the next one
occurring on March 20, 2034. By looking at NASAs web site, the
paths of totality can be traced across the continents. The results
are that a diamond is marked out on the globe that not only
encompasses Israel, but also the land promised to Abraham that
was never fully realized in its past. It is as if God uses these paths
to mark out the true Promised LandHis Partition Plan.
The span in time from 1999s to 2034s eclipse is 12,640 days.
By dividing those days in half, one will find that the mid-point is
exactly November 29, 2016. This marks the 69th anniversary of
Daniel W. Matson
65
the UNs Partition Plan. That seems to point the way to the start
of the important 70th year from the events at the rebirth of Israel
and concluding the period of one generation. The 70th year from
the Partition Plan in this case would span from November 29,
2016 to November 29, 2017. This places 2017s Fall Feasts of the
Lord in the 70th year. Does the 70th Week begin in the 70th year?
Based on the many finds here on this web site, it would seem
highly likely.
Another item to notice here is that we are considering 70 years
from 1947. Half of 70 years is essentially represented by the
duration that occurs between these eclipses from 1999-2034. The
significant date of November 29, 2016 is then half of the half of
70 represented by these eclipses.
There is also another calculation of 70 years. If 70 360-day

years are counted, it is equal to 25,200 days. From November 29,
1947 it is those number of days until November 25, 2016just
four days before November 29, 2016 (70 360-day years is nearly
equal to 69 solar years). What proves fascinating is that counting
Daniel W. Matson
66
back 5,555 days from November 25, 2016 will end up exactly on
September 11, 2001. Incidentally, the height of the Washington
Monument is 555.5 feet. As Jonathan Cahn has suggested, the
attack on the World Trade Center was at the site of the USAs
beginning right next to the cathedral where our founding fathers
went to pray. The seeming connection of 9-11 to the time of the
UN Partition Plan in 1947 is New York. It was at the UN in New
York that the Partition Plan was voted into international law.
While that plan helped establish Israel as an independent state,
the UN has also stepped erroneously into the territory of the
Abrahamic Covenant by dividing up the land of Israel. Seventy
years later, 2017 may be the limit to these partitions as Israel
wakes up at the beginning of the 70th Week when they see the
hand of Gods protection in his defeat of their enemies as found
in Ezekiel 38-39 and Psalm 83. And then the seven years of the
70th Week will begin.
God has already set the partition and it is not the partitions in
place today. At the end of the 70th Week or Tribulation, God will
keep His promise as found in Joel and other prophetic passages.
Their fulfillment is sure. Hopefully those who read this will follow
Jesus the Messiah by accepting and trusting what he did for us
by paying our debt at Calvary. Jesus is coming back and it only
makes sense to be on the winning team.

Chapter 10
The Micah Prophecy

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be Ruler in Israel,
Whose goings forth are from old,
From everlasting.
Therefore He shall give them up,
Until the time that she who is in labor has given birth;
Then the remnant of His brethren
shall return to the children of Israel.
Micah 5:2-3
Now a great sign appeared in heaven:
a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet,
and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give
birth.
Revelation 12:1-2
On September 23, 2017 a sign forms in the heavens that fits
the requirements of Revelation 12. As far as can be determined
from computer models, this is the only time this sign will occur
Daniel W. Matson
68
in history. Therefore, this would literally be the Great Sign of
Revelation that is to appear in heaven. The woman in heaven is
Virgothe Virgin. The sun is the sun clothing Virgo and the
moon is actually under her feet. The garland of twelve stars are
the nine stars of Leo with three wandering stars that have been
situated within Leo at this time to make twelve. Those wandering
stars are: Mercury, Mars, and Venus. The last element of the sign
is that the Virgin must be
with child. The planet or
star of the Messiah is
Jupiter. Jupiter at this time
is in the womb of
Virgo.
Again,
no
replication of this sign has
yet to be found.
The problem with this
sign is that all too often it is
taken only as a symbol for
what it represents and is
not considered an actual
sign placed in the heavens
by God. The sign represents
the birth of Messiah from
the virgin of Israel, but it is
to be taken as an actual sign
to be seen and thereby
understand the time at
which a significant event occurs. The problem then is to
determine where it occurs within the timeline of the end of days.
That is, where does it occur in relation to the 70th Week of
Danielthe final period of seven years before Messiah comes to
rule the planet. The solution lies within Micah 5.
In Micah 5 the timeline of the Messiah is given. First he will be
born in Bethlehem and he is to be known as the one who will be
Daniel W. Matson
69
ruler in Israel. When Jesus came he presented himself as the
Prince on Palm Sunday, but then he was later crucified that week
on Passover. He did not become a world ruler from Jerusalem at
that time. Micah then says that Messiah will give them up until
the time that she who is in labor has given birth. Forty days after
the resurrection, Jesus ascended into heaven and ten days later
the Church began and continues to this day. According to Micah,
Israels remnant will return to the children of Israel only after she
has given birth.
The sign of Revelation 12 is the sign that marks this time. It
marks the transition from the Church to Daniels 70th Week. This
sign appears in the heavens just two days after the Feast of
Trumpets and likely the Rapture of the Church in 2017. All the
qualifiers are there from September 23-25, 2017 for this sign,
which comes 1,260 days after the first tetrad of April 15, 2014.
However, the woman must give birth and Jupiter remains in the
womb a few more weeks when it will then emerge. On November
13, 2017, Jupiter emerges and is joined in conjunction with
Venus. This day also comes 444 days after their previous
conjunction on August 27, 2016 that marks Jupiters entry into
Virgo.
If November 13, 2017 marks the beginning of the significant
spiritual return of Israel, then six days later marks what appears
to be the beginning of the 70th Week of Daniel. This is done by
counting 2,520 (7 x 360) days back from the Day of Atonement
2024. Now most prophecy students believe Israel signs the
covenant with the Antichrist to begin the 70th Week per their
understanding of Daniel 9:27. This author instead believes that
this is Israels Covenant with God, which is strengthened by God
himself showing the Israelis that all is back on track. During the
transition from the Rapture to the beginning of the 2,520 days
would be sixty days and it is believed within that time there is the
fulfillment of Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38-39. Only God rescues
Israel from the war and Israel is said to recognize that fact.
Daniel W. Matson
70
With the Rapture occurring on the Feast of Trumpets and this

war coming from the north, it should be clear to many Jews what
just occurred. With an understanding of the Old Testament, it
should be clear. Of course, that is why it is there. Paul speaks of
the Gentiles provoking the Jews to jealousy. If there were a time
to be jealous, to see a sizable segment of Gentiles (and some
believing Jews) get taken in the Rapture to safety before the
coming Day of the Lord would be it. It will mean that many Jews
will get on track and believe. With 144,000 Jewish male
witnesses found in the book of Revelation, it has been made clear
that many in Israel will believe and preach the Gospel of the
Kingdom. The seven years begin at a time of Israeli spiritual
renewal. This is why Jesus warns Israel of the Antichrist by
identifying the time of the Abomination of Desolation, which
occurs in the middle of the 70th Week. That is the true moment
of identification and time the Antichrist will control the land of
Israel.
One roadblock in understanding the sign of Revelation 12 is by
not understanding the layout of the book of Revelation. Chapter
11 takes the reader to the end of the seven years at the seventh
trumpet when the Earth fully becomes under Jesus Christ our
Lord. Chapter 12 begins further detail on this coming time and
starts back at the beginning. We therefore begin at this sign that
represents Israel and the bringing forth of the Messiah. But the
point is that this is a heavenly sign placed in heaven to show us
when these things will begin. That is, the continuation of the
salvation story through the nation of Israel.
Therefore, the sign of Micah 5 and Revelation 12 is an actual
sign in the heavens that can be documented and it is yet future.
It marks the time at which a true return of Israel will occur. It is
not an accident that it comes right after the Feast of Trumpets
the time of the last Trump for the Church. This then means (along
with everything else documented here) that time is short for the
Daniel W. Matson
71
Church. Will believers pay attention and do what must be done
and make sure that they are sharing the gospel? The doors to the
Church are still open for those who might believe in our Savior
Jesus Christ. Only by believing and putting our trust in Christ will
we escape what is soon coming upon the world. It is becoming
pretty apparent what is soon coming. If one does not believe until
after the Rapture, Gods grace will be sufficient, but it will not be
without many perilous trials.
Daniel W. Matson
72
Chapter 11
The Sequence of Events

There are many differing views on where to place the major
events of the end times. Here is a quick synopsis of what looks to
be the order of coming events.
Signs
As has been detailed, there will be signs in the heavens before
the time. Theses signs along with history should catch a watchers
attention, so that one may see the Day approaching.
The Rapture Feast of Trumpets 2017
The first event on the horizon that begins the end time events
is the removal of all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ
returns at the Last Trump of the Feast of Trumpets (1 Corinthians
15:52) to gather his people and take them to their rooms as he
promised in John 14. The believers are removed from the earth
(Revelation 3:10) so that the rest of the inhabitants of the earth
can go through the coming time of trial (Isaiah 26:20-21). This
event is before the 70th Week (2,520 days) begins. Trumpets
2017 looks to be the most probable time.
The sign that precedes this day is the sign modeled by the
Daniel W. Matson
73
Great Pyramid on Sunrise the day before the Feast of Trumpets
September 20th at dawn. Here the Orion star of Al-Nitak that is
associated with the Great Pyramid is at meridian. The Sphinx
(Leo) is to the east, specifically Regulus the King star, is at the
ascending passageway angle (the Christ Angle) above the
horizon. Venus at this time is also in conjunction with Regulus
making the Morning Star and the King one at the Christ Angle
also associated with Bethlehem. A whole chapter in the last book
explains this more thoroughly or it can be found in most part on
the web site.
After Two Days
Two days after the Rapture there is then the sign of Revelation
12. This sign is plainly pointed out in Revelation 12. With the
Church gone and this sign of Israel giving birth, it aptly depicts
this transition. Revelation 12 starts as another beginning in the
apocalyptic narrative. With believers gone and then this sign,
Israel will be confronted that the Tribulation of seven years is
about to begin. Hosea 6 also speaks of two days and then revival
of Israel. Could this sign be depicting Israels spiritual rebirth?
Though many in Israel may not still believe, a good portion will
be saved throughout the first half of the seven years. That portion
must be at least 144,002 men. Truly there will be others then and
at the end of the seven years, all Jews alive at that time will be
saved.
The War to Eradicate Israel
After the Rapture, the storm clouds of war gather to wipe
Israel off the face of the globe (and the storm clouds are already
beginning to gather and may intensify before the Rapture). Those
nations who want Israel gone in this first war are found in Psalm
83 and Ezekiel 38-39. Psalm 83 records the nations immediately
Daniel W. Matson
74
surrounding Israel, where Ezekiel focuses on the periphery. The
attackers in Psalm 83 had issues with those now hidden via the
Rapture, but still have issues with Israel. The attackers found in
Ezekiel see Israel as a nation that has been gathered back to the
land that also has many things they want to gain. Israel is also
living at peace at that time, which can also mean that they are
dwelling over confidentially. However, this war ends with the
protective hand of God. Israel is spared, but her enemies suffer
heavy losses. Even Israels allies identified in name only (i.e. the
USA probably being the coastlands) suffer at the hand of God.
This war then will have a seven month burial period dealing
with what looks to be contaminated bodies. This war will also
provide Israel enough energy to burn those weapons for seven
years. This seems to be a parallel to the seven years of the
Tribulation and such burning would not likely be needed in the
Millennium.
Confirmation of the Covenant with Israel
When God judges the attackers of Israel, the whole world,
including Israel will know this judgment was an act of God. God
has essentially confirmed His covenant with Israel. This is more
likely the confirmation of the Covenant with many that initiates
the 70th Week of Daniel. This parallels Israel spending the next
seven years burning the weapons of war. For the day counts of
Daniel and Revelation to work, this confirmation should occur
two months after the Rapture of the Church. This looks to be the
first day of the ninth month on the Hebrew Calendar 2017.
However, the predominant view is that it is rather the
Antichrist who enforces a peace treaty for seven years and is the
one who permits the Temple to be rebuilt. The problem with this
is that it is referring to the Covenant with many referring to
Gods covenant with Israel. Why or how would the Antichrist do
Daniel W. Matson
75
that? But then we know he commits the Abomination of a
Desolation in the middle of the seven years, which would violate
his covenant of seven years, if that were the case. And why would
Satan initiate this through the Antichrist to make his doom
surer?
The context of Daniel 9 is the Messiah and the covenant is his
covenant with Israel. That covenant will be confirmed through
Israels victory over her enemies that was only made possible by
the hand of God.
The Rise of the Ten Kings
With the destabilization and destruction of Russia, America,
and many of the Islamic countries, it will create the vacuum in
which the peoples of the former Roman Empire gain power to
form ten kingdoms that rule the world. This is a necessary step
between the war to eradicate Israel and the revelation of the
Antichrist. If the Antichrist were to be the confirmer of the
Covenant at the start of the seven years, then this step becomes
hard pressed in such a short period of time. But since the
Antichrist cannot be the confirmer of the Abrahamic Covenant,
this means the Antichrist does not have to appear on the scene
until some time before the Abomination of Desolation. Before the
Antichrist comes, these ten kingdoms from the area of the former
Roman Empire must come first. It may also be possible that the
ten kingdoms follow the ten regions delineated by the Club of
Rome. Their ten regions cover the entire globe. These ten kings
must precede the Antichrist and this kingdom will need some
time to develop in the first half of the seven years.
There is much debate lately on whether this new revived
empire will be a Roman one or a Caliphate. Whether it it is
Roman Catholicism, Humanism or Islam that is the driving
force. The Roman Catholic Church is aptly described in the
Daniel W. Matson
76
period of the Seven Churches of Revelation and though much of
it will be cast into the Tribulation, the description of the Woman
who rides the Beast is not the same woman as Jezebel in
Revelation 2. Islam might be a better fit, but that also falls short
as the Antichrist is indwelt by Satan and wants worship of
himself. The Antichrist is also known as the Assyrian, which he is
likely of Islamic origin, but he will take that one step further into
some hybrid worship of himself. The point though is that this
coming kingdom will encompass the former land areas of the
empires before it as described in the Book of Daniel. It doesn't
exist now, but soon it will once the current political structures are
shaken through the coming war.
The coming empire will at a minimum cover the area of the
Mediterranean and the Ancient Near East. Rome was
characterized by iron in Nebuchadnezzars Dream in Daniel 2.
However, there is another element introduced in the dream at
the fulfillment of that empire. That element is clay. It will exist
with the iron but not cleave to it. The Aramaic word for mixed
is essentiallyArab. Can there be a better description of the
status of the former empire today? Since World War II there has
been a great migration of Arabs to the former Roman Empire and
they have not mingled or cleaved to the others of that kingdom.
The current road of the former Roman Empire is then currently
on the biblical trajectory to the end. So then ten kingdoms will
form the revived empire and it is projected this will occur after
the dust settles from the War to Eradicate Israel. More than
likely, Islam will still remain a force after its defeat and be an
influence in this kingdom that will give rise to the Antichrist.
Rebuilding the Temple
In order for the Antichrist to defile the Temple, it must be
rebuilt again. The Earthquake that hits Israel during the war to
eradicate it will knock everything down in Jerusalem. This would
Daniel W. Matson
77
naturally include the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Only after this will the Temple be rebuilt, otherwise it would have
also fell. Since the Abomination of Desolation occurs in the
middle of the seven years, at some point in the first half, the
Temple will be rebuilt. With Islam at least partially defeated, and
the thanksgiving of the Jews for being spared, it seems natural
that the Temple will be rebuilt after those events.
The King from the former Northern Kingdom of Greece
To fulfill Daniel 11, the Antichrist will come from the area of
the king of the North, which as part of Alexander the Greats
Empire was the region of Syria. It was the area ruled by
Antiochus Epiphanes. The Antichrist picks up and overlaps
where Antiochus left off in Daniel 11. The Antichrist will subdue
three of the kingdoms of the ten and these ten kings will give their
power to the Antichrist. At this point it would seem that the first
seal would be broken in Revelation 6.
The Abomination of Desolation
Halfway through the period of 2,520 days, the Abomination of
Desolation occurs. At this point the Antichrist halts the sacrifices
and defiles the Temple in Israel and demands to be worshipped
as God. Now begins his 1,260 days of trampling Jerusalem until
the return of Jesus Christ. The world will follow the Beast and all
who buy or sell must have his identification. Those who do so will
put their souls in jeopardy. It would appear that the Antichrist
suffers an assassination attempt and receives a deadly head
wound, but Satan resurrects the Antichrist by dwelling in him.
Once this happens, the Antichrist demands worship of himself
and defiles the Temple. This day comes 1,260 days after Kislev 1,
2017 and 1,260 days before the Day of Atonement 2024.
Daniel W. Matson
78
Fleeing to the Wilderness

Upon seeing the Abomination of Desolation, those in Judea
are to immediately flee to the wilderness of present day Jordan
(Matthew 24:15-21). Only this area will escape the control of the
Antichrist (Daniel 11:41, Revelation 12:6). God will provide in
the wilderness as He did in the Exodus. Christ focused on this
point to stress the importance of fleeing and that it will be the
sure identifier of the Antichrist.
The Temple is Brought Low
In Daniel 8, it is 2300 evenings and mornings from the time
the Temple is cast down or is brought low. 1150 days will fit
between the 9th of Av and the Day of Atonement (2021-2024).
As both Temples were destroyed on the 9th of Av, it is likely that
something significant happens to the Temple 110 days after the
Abomination of Desolation.
Babylon is rebuilt and becomes the Commerce Capital
The center of world commerce will make its way back to the
plains of Shinar (Zechariah 5:5-11, Revelation 17-18). While the
center of world commerce has changed, ultimately it will be back
in Babylon at the return of Jesus Christ. Mystery Babylon is
worldly thinking and enslavement, which is the force putting
together globalism. World commerce controls the final empire,
but the leaders will turn on it (Revelation 17:16). Babylon will
then be destroyed.
Daniel W. Matson
79
Armageddon
The armies of the world gather at Israel to not only destroy the
Jews, but to also destroy the King of the Jews who is
returning. This will be an exercise of futility (Revelation 19:19).
Jesus Returns and sets up the Kingdom
On the Day of Atonement, Jesus redeems his people from the
Antichrist and establishes His Kingdom. It will take 75 days to
fully establish the Kingdom. Those who are mortal and make it
to day 1335 will physically enter that kingdom. All of the
resurrected saints will find their respective places in the reign of
the Messiah for 1,000 years (Daniel 12, Revelation 20). At the
end of these 1000 years, there will be a final rebellion that will be
stopped leading to the final resurrection and Great White Throne
Judgment for the lost. Then comes the New Heaven and New
Earth for the redeemed.
Daniel W. Matson
80
Chapter 12
The Conclusion
As the world continues its obvious collision course with God
and now increasingly with Israel, many people wonder how close
we are to the end times. Surprisingly, many churches have
ignored this subject to a greater extant even while it becomes
clearer that this prophesied time looms. With the Bible being one
hundred percent accurate in the arena of prophecy, it is amazing
how many barriers there are to obtaining that knowledge. We see
this right now and people are looking for answers. However,
there is mostly silence from the Church and hence ignorance of
what will clearly happen. This should not be the case, but it was
foretold as well.
This confusion has also given rise to a wide range of
viewpoints. Even before the Age of the Internet, there were many
theories. Hopefully this book has not added to the confusion, but
has demonstrated concise conclusions of where the signs in the
heavens are pointing. They are pointing to the fulfillment of
history as the Messiah prepares to conclude it through his nation
of Israel. Jesus told us to watch that we might know the time of
his return (Revelation 3:3). These signs in the heavens and their
relation to history and each other seem to make an airtight case
that 2017 is the year that begins the final seven years of
judgment. This is just over two years away.
The Blood Moons have captured many people's attention, but
here we have seen that they do provide a mathematical marker to
Daniel W. Matson
81
the days ahead, which shows a higher level of accuracy and hence
planning required by God. This proved equally true regarding
the solar eclipses and planetary conjunctions. With precision and
accuracy they focus in on the time surrounding the sign of of
Revelation 12 and the beginning of the Tribulationthe Day of
the Lord. The bottom line is that these events in the heavens are
not random, but we're set in motion from the beginning of time.
Their timing was calculated by God who knew the end from the
beginning. When one particular sign demonstrated in the Book
of Revelation only occurs in 2017, there can really be no other
conclusion than it must be THE sign that heralds the near
beginning of Daniels 70th Week. By watching for the Day, that
Day has come into view.
Since that Day has come into view, what should we do? As
people who are watching, we should let others know; for the
believer that they might be alerted, and the unbeliever that they
might be saved. This should be the outcome of our faith as it
becomes invigorated knowing that we are that generation of the
end time. When one realizes we are that generation talked about
long ago, we should be spreading that news. Though we know the
times will grow more perilous, we also should be getting bolder
and be ready to give answers. The time coming upon the world
will be like no other, and being confused on this subject will not
have a good outcome.
With the rise of Anti-Semitism within the past year, the time
is quickly coming into view. Maybe the final test of the Church
will be its love for the Jewish people. Through Bible Prophecy we
know the Church will depart to be with the Lord and then the
remaining time is for Israel. Israel will be the source of light to
the world. An untold number on earth will be saved and also
martyred at that time. A Church that opposes Israel is playing for
the wrong team. A Church that forgets where it came from fits
these words of Paul, as he looks forward to Israel coming back
into the fold and is grafted back into the Olive Tree.
Daniel W. Matson
82
You will say then, Branches were broken off that I might be
grafted in. Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off,
and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God
did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you
either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on
those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you
continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. And
they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in,
for God is able to graft them in again. For if you were cut out of
the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted
contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more
will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own
olive tree?
Romans 11:19-24
Israel will be grafted back into the Olive Tree. As Micah 5 and
Revelation 12 indicate, the day is coming when Israel will be born
again and the handwriting is in the heavens. It has been made
known for those who are watching for that Day. For the Church,
will we lose our boasting and fulfill our proper mission? For the
lost, now is the time to believe that Jesus is the Messiahthe
Savior of the World. He died so that all could have eternal life and
he is coming back to rule the world.
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 6:9-10
Daniel W. Matson
83
We can look forward to the day the kingdom comes and Gods
willwill be done on earth as in heaven. This life is but a vapor
and eternity is at hand. Knowing all of these things and signs
should cause us to live rightly for that day that we might bear
light in a darkening world.
