Strange Mist on Temple Mount Is War on Spiritual Plane

I
wipe away your sins like a cloud, Your transgressions like mist
(cloud)— Come back to Me, for I redeem you. Isaiah 44:22 (The
Israel Bible™)
An
unexplained mist begins to rise on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
(Credit: Joshua Wander via Facebook)
On
Sunday (Hoshana Rabbah; Sept 30), a group of Jews praying on the
Mount of Olives witnessed a large white cloud rise up out of the
ground from the Temple Mount.
The
phenomenon was recorded by Josh Wander, a Mount of Olives
resident. A sunrise prayer session (6:32 AM Sunrise) was organized on
a plaza overlooking the Temple Mount for the holiday of Hoshana
Rabbah, the last day of the week-long holiday of Sukkot (Feast of
Tabernacles).
“Just
after sunrise (7 AM-9 AM), I was recording a Facebook live video of
the prayers when I panned my camera to the Temple Mount,” Wander
told Breaking Israel News. “All of a sudden, I noticed a
cloud or fog that erupted from the northeastern corner of the mount.
It seemed to be coming from the area which was designated for women
in the time of the Temple and the eastern gateway, which confused me,
since I know that today, it is an orchard of olive trees and there is
normally no activity there.”
The
balcony of Wander’s home overlooks the Temple Mount so he is
intimately familiar with the scenery. He is also a regular visitor to
the site and said he has never seen anything like this before.
“It
was billowing up so I thought some Arabs might be burning branches,”
Wander said. “But it was much too early for Arabs to be on the
Temple Mount and I didn’t see any Arabs there before, during, or
after and certainly no fire. It was not just a thin mist and the
video doesn’t really convey the presence of the mist.”
When
he lived in the United States, Wander served as a pilot in the Air
Force Auxiliary where he was trained to identify clouds. Meteorology
and identifying clouds is an essential part of pilot training.
“There
was very little wind and the smoke just seemed to crawl across the
mount toward the Dome of the Rock,” Wander said. “It seemed to
come out of a specific spot but after several minutes, it seemed to
be rising up from multiple sources in the same general area.”
Wander
reluctantly described the mist with a word he rarely uses.
“It
looked supernatural,” he said. Not trusting his own eyes, Wander
asked the people around him if they could also see the mist. Most
were immersed in their holiday prayers and had not noticed but when
it was pointed out, they confirmed the mist’s presence. The
phenomenon lingered on the ground around the golden dome for more
than 20 minutes.
“I
am certainly not the kind of person who sees signs in nature,”
Wander said. “But this was just too out of the ordinary to ignore.
It looked eery and the location, the site of the Holy of Holies, is
too significant.”
When
Rabbi Yosef Berger heard of the sighting, he responded with
equanimity.
“If
you had told me that it happened any other day of the year, I would
not have assigned it any significance,” Rabbi Berger told Breaking
Israel News. “But to have this cloud appear on Hoshana Rabbah is
highly significant and makes me happy, knowing the geula (redemption)
is at hand.”
The
rabbi cited Midrash Talpiot, a collection of homiletic and oral
teachings compiled by Elijah ben Solomon Abraham ha-Kohen of Smyrna
in the 17th century.
“It
is written in the Midrash Talpiot that the War of Gog and Magog will
begin three hours before the dawn on Hoshana Rabbah, the battle will
last three hours, and then the Moshiach will begin to appear,”
Rabbi Berger said. “Of course this war is accompanied by flames and
smoke as was hinted at in Psalms.”
Hashem
is in its midst, it will not be toppled; by daybreak…He puts a stop
to wars throughout the earth, breaking the bow, snapping the spear,
consigning wagons to the flames. Psalms 46:6-10
“It
very well could be that a major battle was being waged on the Temple
Mount on the spiritual plane and the only part of it that we could
see was the smoke,” Rabbi Berger said. “It has been clear all
year that a war is being waged for the Temple Mount.”
The
rabbi noted that a record 28,000 Jews ascended to the Temple
Mount in the past year and an additional 5,000 visited the site
during the recent holidays.
“Smoke
is only one aspect of the war, an illusion that we can see with our
eyes while the real battle is being waged on planes we cannot see,”
Berger said. “The real battle goes much deeper. We may be seeing
other aspects of the battle in the near future.”
“During
Sukkot we read about Gog and Magog in the Haftarah (a section of the
Bible – usually from the Prophets – read in the synagogue that is
thematically linked to the Torah reading). On Pesach, we read as the
Haftarah Ezekiel’s vision of the Dry Bones,” Rabbi Berger said.
“The war begins on the last day of Sukkot and the resurrection
begins on Pesach.”
Rabbi
Berger noted that Hoshana Rabbah is the day of judgment for the
nations.
“We
are seeing a realignment among the nations concerning Israel,”
Berger said. “The United Nations is going through changes and may
cease to exist. In England, America, Germany, and so many countries,
their politics is being determined by how they relate to Israel and
the Bible. This is a precursor to what will happen soon, what is
already taking place on levels we cannot see.”
Notes on the Word Cloud in the Bible
Exo_40:35
And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation,
because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the
tabernacle. 36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the
tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
37 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till
the day that it was taken up. 38 For the cloud of the LORD was upon
the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of
all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
1
Kings 8:10-13 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of
the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, So that
the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the
glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord. Then spake
Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. I
have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee
to abide in for ever.
Numbers
9:15-22 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud
covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at
even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire,
until the morning.
Eastern
Gate
Deu_31:15
And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and
the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
Joshua Wander said: “All of a sudden, I noticed a cloud or fog that erupted from
the northeastern corner of the mount. It seemed to be coming from the
area which was designated for women in the time of the Temple and the
eastern gateway, which confused me, since I know that today, it is an
orchard of olive trees and there is normally no activity there.”
Location
is very important.
The
Messiah on the Biblical Yom Teruah (Oct 10, 2018) comes by the way of
the Eastern gate into the Temple area.
Eze_10:19
And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the
earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside
them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD'S
house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Eze_43:4
And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate
whose prospect is toward the east.
Eze_46:1
Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh
toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the
sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall
be opened.
Oct
10 is the Biblical Day of Trumpet and is the New Moon of the 7th
Biblical Month for 2018.
Eze_32:7
And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the
stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon
shall not give her light.
We
need to remember at this time that there will be 3 days of darkness
and it begins at the axial pole shift earthquake of Revlation
6:12-17, Rev 8:5, and Isaiah 24:1-6.
Eze_46:12
Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace
offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open him the gate
that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering
and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall
go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.
Biblically,
I see the Trumpet/Bowl Judgments as the burnt offerings. I see the
Feast of Tabernacles/Millennium as the peace offerings.
The
end of days began in 30 CE. Then between 1945-1948 (Psalms 45-48), it
got a kick in the pants. In 1967 (Psalms 67), it got a kick in the
butt. In 2007-2017 (Psalms 107-117 (Deliverance from Babylon)) the
tribulation took place (Rev 2:10 from Day of Trumpet to Day of
Atonement). then the one year began from Day of Trumpet to Day of
Atonement (2018; Psalms 118 with 3 events: Rapture in v. 5;
Armageddon in v. 10-13; and Millennium in v. 15 in the word:
"Tabernacles"). Psalms 119=5779/2019 and the Laws of Elohim
in the Millennium. Oct 10-20 is part 1 of the Day of the Lord.
The
Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer
Commentary
notes come from David L. Sterns Jewish New Testament Commentary.
Rev
8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in
heaven about the space of half an hour.
(Temple Mount Mist lasted for about half an hour). This occurred on the Sabbath which is a watch date for a major event to happen.
Rev
8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them
were given seven trumpets.
The
seven angels who stand before God. Seven "Angels of the
Presence" have a well-documented history in Jewish literature
(see Rev_1:4), possibly commencing with Isa_63:9, which mentions "an
angel of his [God's] presence" (compare Luk_1:19, "I am
Gavri'el," the angel answered him, "and I stand in the
presence of God."), and Eze_9:2, which speaks of "six
men... with slaughter weapons, and one man among them clothed in
linen with a writer's ink well at his side," to whom God speaks.
In the Apocrypha, Rafa'el identifies himself as "one of the
seven holy angels" (Tob_12:15). 1 Enoch 20 gives the names and
functions of seven "holy angels who watch": Uri'el,
Rafa'el, Ragu'el, Mikha'el, Saraka'el, Gavri'el and Remi'el. The
first four are called "ministering angels"
("mal'akhey-hasharet") in the Talmud, the siddur, and the
kabbalah; compare the fact that in Rev_8:7-12 four angels are singled
out to announce the four "non-woe" shofar judgments. See
also Rev_1:4 on "the sevenfold Spirit" and Rev_8:4 below.
On whether angels exist at all, see Heb_13:2.
Shofars
("ram's horns"), not trumpets. The idea that the Great
Judgment of the Last Days is heralded by blasts on the shofar has its
roots in the Tanakh. "YHVH will be seen over them, his arrow
will go forth like lightning, and Adonai YHVH will sound the shofar
and will move in the stormwinds of the south.... And YHVH their God
will save them [Y'hudah and Efrayim] on that day as the flock of his
people" (Zec_9:14, Zec_9:16). Similarly God protects Israel at
7:1-8 before setting the shofar judgments in motion "on that
day," half an hour afterwards (Rev_8:1). Compare Isa_27:13,
Joe_2:1, Zep_1:16 and, in the Pseudepigrapha, Psalms of Solomon 11
and 4 Ezr_6:23-26. In the New Testament see Mat_24:31, 1Co_15:52 and
1Th_4:16.
Rev
8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden
censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should
offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which
was before the throne.
It
is not clear from the Greek grammar whether this verse speaks of two
altars or one. The temple in Jerusalem had two-one for burnt
offerings and another for incense. But, as R. H. Charles puts it,
"since there could be no animal sacrifices in heaven" (this
is also consistent with Heb. 9:18-Heb. 10:20), there is only the
altar for incense. Moreover, the rabbinic citations in Rev_6:9
mention only one altar.
Sept
30: 07:06 Aldebaran 1.4°S of Moon in Tarus. Autumn Arietids and
Southern Taurids conjoin in Pisces. Mist on Temple Mount for ½ hour
on Hashana Rabbah. Manam Volcano Erupted in Papua New Guniea.
Rev
8:4 And the smoke of the incense (Temple Mount Mist), which came with the prayers of the
saints (Sunrise prayers going on with the emblems), ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
And what happened on Hashana Rabbah was prayers of the Jewish Saints near Temple Mount.
The
smoke of the incense added by another angel accompanies the prayers
of all God's people (not only those of the martyrs, as at 6:9-10);
both rise to God together-but it is not clear just what this means.
Nevertheless, compare Exodus Rabbah 21:4:
"What
is the meaning of 'O Thou that hearest prayer' (Psa_65:3)? Rabbi
Pinchas in the name of Rabbi Me'ir and Rabbi Yirmiyahu in the name of
Rabbi Chiyya bar-Abba said, 'When the people of Israel pray, you do
not find them all praying at the same time, but each assembly prays
separately, first one and then another. When they have all finished,
the angel appointed over prayers collects all the prayers that have
been offered in all the synagogues, weaves them into garlands and
places them upon the head of God.' "
Also
Testament of Levi 3:5-6: "In [the heaven next to the highest
heaven] are the angels of the presence of the Lord, who minister and
make propitiation to the Lord for all the sins of ignorance of the
righteous. And they offer to the Lord a sweet-smelling savor, a
reasonable and bloodless offering."
The
prayers are evidently for judgment to begin, and God answers at once
(Rev_8:5 through Rev_14:20); but see also Rev_6:10.
Rev
8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the
altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and
thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake (Oct 10, 2018).
Rev
6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there
was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of
hair, and the moon became as blood;
Rev
6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree
casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Rev
6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together;
and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Rev
6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men,
and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and
every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the
mountains;
Rev
6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us
from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath
of the Lamb:
Rev
6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to
stand?
The
description of the breaking of the sixth seal alludes to descriptions
of the end of the world (end of the 6th
age) found in Isa_2:10-12, Isa_2:19, Isa_13:10, Isa_34:4, Isa_50:3;
Jer_4:23-29; Joe_3:4 (Joe_2:31), Rev_4:15 (Rev_3:15); Nah_1:5-6;
Hag_2:6 (compare Mat_24:29, Luk_23:30).
The
fury of the Lamb will be fearful because the Lamb is also a Lion (see
Rev_5:5-6). According to Joh_5:22, Act_17:31, Rom_2:16 and 2Co_5:10
God has entrusted judgment to this Lion/Lamb. It will take place on
the Great Day, also known as the Day of the Lord (Rev_1:10 above,
2Th_2:2, 2Pe_3:10, and more than a dozen places in the Tanakh), the
Day of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah (1Co_1:8), the Day of our Lord
Yeshua (2Co_1:14), the Day of the Messiah (Php_1:10), the Great Day
of Adonai-Tzva'ot (Rev_16:14 below, Isa_2:12, Jer_46:10), the Day of
Anger (Rom_2:5; Zep_1:18, Zep_2:2-3; Lam_2:22), and the Day of
Judgment (Mat_10:15, 2Pe_2:9, 1Jn_4:17 and five other places in the
New Testament).
On
the Great Day... who can stand? Those of the world who glory in their
power will realize that it was all an illusion. Even weak people who
manipulate and try to gain power in small ways will be revealed for
what they are. Only those who restrict "praise, honor, glory and
power" to God and the Lamb (Rev_5:13), will survive their fury.
7
Days after Hashana Rabbah Mist covering
Sept
30th was on the first day of the week when the mist covered the
Temple site.
Exo_24:16
And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud
covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of
the midst of the cloud.
This
event took place on the 7th day after Pentecost.
Oct
7 on the 28th Day of Elul and 1 Ceres is at Solar Conjunction (just
above the Sun in Virgo making a exclamation point with the Sun as a
big dot).
Moon,
Sun, Mercury, and Venus is in Virgo and Jupiter is in Libra on the
imaginary Line in the Holy Altar between the West star and the lowest
star of the altar.
What
will happen on the earth on this day will only time tell but it will
be too late to find out possibly because I will not find out until
around the 11th
and the 10th
is Rosh Hashanah 2nd
Advent of the Messiah.
Oct
10-20, 2018
The
Harvest of the Earth
Rev
14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one
sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and
in his hand a sharp sickle.
Revelation
14:14-20
As
a whole, the passage echoes Joe_4:9-13 (Joe_3:9-13), in which grape
harvesting and wine pressing are used as a metaphor for judgment in
the context of the eschatological war, and Isa_63:1-6, in which God
treads the winevat in his fury, pressing out the lifeblood of the
peoples. The same metaphor is found at Jer_25:15, Jer_25:28-31.
Judgment
is also symbolized by the harvest at Jeremiah 61:33 and Hos_6:11.
Also see Yeshua's own parable of the wheat and the weeds, especially
Mar_4:29 and Mat_13:39-42; both there and here the Messiah is the
reaper at the final judgment, using angels as his instruments.
Moreover, here it is the Messiah who treads the winepress (see below,
Rev_19:15).
On
the cloud was someone like a Son of Man. The prophecy of Dan_7:13 is
made to refer to Yeshua; compare Mat_24:30-31, Mar_14:61-62.
Rev
14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud
voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap:
for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth
is ripe.
Rev
14:16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth;
and the earth was reaped.
Rev
14:17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he
also having a sharp sickle.
Rev
14:18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over
fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle,
saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the
vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
Rev
14:19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered
the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the
wrath of God.
Rev
14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came
out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a
thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Day
of Atonement which is judgment of the nations (Rev 16/19).
Outside
the city of Jerusalem, in the valley of Y'hoshafat (the name means
"God judges"), mentioned in Joe_4:2, Joe_4:12 (Joe_3:2,
Joe_3:12). Jewish authorities understand this as Kidron Valley
(Joh_18:1) or the Hinnom Valley (see 10b-11, Mat_5:22).
Blood
flowed... as high as the horses' bridles for two hundred miles.
Compare the Midrash Rabbah:
"They
[the Romans under Hadrian] slew the inhabitants [of Betar, after
Bar-Kosiba, its defender, had been killed] until the horses waded in
blood up to the nostrils, and the blood rolled along stones of the
size of forty se'ah and flowed into the sea a distance of four
miles." Lamentations Rabbah 2:2:4.
Can
this war take place at the Valley of Megiddo like it did between Sep
19-25, 1918 at the end of WWI (Psalms 18)? Yes but only time will
tell.
