Elijah and The Woman of Revelation 12:1
The Three Calendars In Scripture
This article contains information solely for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. If that description sounds strange to you, please just move on. You’ll need spiritual eyes to see. If you do not have such equipment and desire it, then please contact me; I’ll happily convey what one must do to have such a gift—a gift not taught in 99% of the assemblies that use the names of the Father and His Son.
In the story of Elijah’s journey to Jericho, where he was translated to another location, we find three cities mentioned that hold end-time calendar implications. Those three cities are:
Gilgal — defined as a circle. As in the continuous solar circle observed by the Zadok Calendar camp, mistakenly called The Enoch calendar.
Bethel — defined as the House of God (El). As in the traditional Saturn’s day camp, which modernly hails from the throws of Satanic Judaism. (See John 8:44).
Jericho — Defined as The Place of The Moon. As in the Lunar/Solar/Celestial calendar of Covenant Law.
Here is the account…
“Now, when YHWH was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for YHWH has sent me as far as Bethel.” But Elisha said, “As YHWH lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel. And the sons of the prophets who were in Bethel came out to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that today YHWH will take away your master from over you?” And he said, “Yes, I know it; keep quiet.”
Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please stay here, for YHWH has sent me to Jericho.” But he said, “As YHWH lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they came to Jericho. The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho drew near to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that today YHWH will take away your master from over you?” And he answered, “Yes, I know it; keep quiet.”
Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, for YHWH has sent me to the Jordan.” But he said, “As YHWH lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on. Fifty men of the sons of the prophets also went and stood at some distance from them as they both were standing by the Jordan. Then Elijah rolled his cloak up and struck the water, and the water was parted to the one side and to the other till the two of them could go over on dry ground.” 2Kings 2:1–8
So much information is conveyed within this text that I’m not sure I can cover it all, but before I pick this section apart for the meat, I must convey a few foundational facts that must be considered.
1 — It is unmistakable from the rest of ascripture that Elijah is a type of one of the two witnesses in scripture. Moses is the other of the two in typology. With that fact in mind, I must remind you quickly of the two aspects of these two witnesses. They are: One is a Governor, aka a King. The other is a Priest, a High Priest. Zechariah chapter 6:9–15 makes this case best, but as I have taught now for many years, YHWH’s coming government in the modern vernacular would be a church-and-state Republic. Anciently it would be called a King and Priest government. These two witnesses are the King and Priest. Moses is the king, and Elijah is Priest… Again, in typology.
2—The calendar debate has raged since the Babylonian exile, as the calendar was changed during Jeremiah's days just before the exile. See Lamentations 2:6. Paul alludes to this fact in his letter to the Believers dwelling in Rome:
“One person esteems one day (Saturn’s Day) as better than another, while another esteems all days (of the newly established Planetary week) alike (aka, can be holy). Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of YHWH.” Romans 14:5–6
3 — Yeshua, in need of being baptized, did not go to Saturn’s Day, observing Pharisees or Sadducees, to accomplish this service. Instead, the Word that became flesh went to the Zadok Priest on the Plane of Jordan, to the Priestly cycle of Zadok. The man holding office at that time was the son of Zacharias, the one holding the office of Abijah, John the Baptist. Thus, at this time in history, The Zadok calendar was first in line for correctness. Please note which of the three calendars was first in the list above.
Adding to this foundational fact of the church age, we see the following characteristics of the Zadok calendar under the Priesthood established by King David.
- The Zadok Priesthood is an amended continuation of the Levitical Priesthood. (see 1Chronicles 24 through 26)
- The Levitical Priesthood is a punishment levied upon Israel because of sin (see Galatians 3:19 and Ezekiel 20:25–26).
- The Zadok Priesthood is prophesied to be a millennial Priesthood alongside the forever Covenant Law Priesthood of the order of Melchizedek. (see Hebrews chapter 7 and Ezekiel 40 through 48).
- The Zadok Priesthood was ratified by Yeshua Himself as the best choice at the time, 2K years ago. (See Matthew 3:13–17)
- The Zadok Priesthood, a form of the Levitical Priesthood, is very much a temporary Priesthood, as opposed to that of Melchizedek, which is eternal (See Galatians 3:19 and Hebrews 7).
4—The Number 50 is both an ancient esoteric symbol for the nation of Israel and a modern numerical icon for the end-time nation of Jacob. It is tied to Israel's Jubilee and all kinds of end-time prophecies concerning the true Promised Land and the government of YHWH within that land.
5—The Woman of Revelation 12:1 sits between the unconverted King and the unconverted High Priest within the coming government of YHWH. This story is conveyed throughout scripture but, again, best witnessed in the before-mentioned text of Zechariah 6:9–15. The sons of Zephaniah are the Woman of Revelation 12:1. They are the hidden ones commissioning and teaching the two who sit on the two thrones of government. Here is an article laying the foundation of this rich teaching found throughout scripture.
The Woman of Revelation 12 Sitting Between King And Priest | by Joey Thompson | Medium
6 — There is a second woman found in Revelation 12. The woman of Revelation 12:17 literally sits in no man’s land… A lukewarm classification of Believers who keep God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Christ, but these simply do not have the knowledge to teach the government aspects of Covenant Law. They must be tried in the fire of tribulation before making that all-important last step toward holding an office within the government of YHWH. They are the unwise virgins of Matthew 25, having failed to put oil (knowledge) in the vessels… The knowledge of the first and foremost aspect of the gospel (government), the calendar, and the identity of Israel. All of which symbolize the sun, moon, and stars surrounding this woman of Revelation 12:1.
7 — The true plan of salvation and prophecy is designed to be kept under wraps… Esoteric, known only to those who understand the story being conveyed within the major and minor prophets of the Bible. The where, when, and who of prophecy, and let me tell you… No church organization has such knowledge. YHWH simply will not allow it.
Now, let's break down the story that is being told in 2Kings.
The statement, “Now, when YHWH was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind,” has to be understood in typological code language. A whirlwind is a storm, as in the storm of YHWH (see Jeremiah 30:19) in the last days. And just like mountains and hills, heaven is a typology for the highths of government. Thus, the time setting is when our Priestly witness is about to enter into the government that YHWH will re-establish in The Promised Land of America.
The statement, “Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. And Elijah said to Elisha, Please stay here, for YHWH has sent me as far as Bethel,” is a historical typology concerning John The Baptist, who was extant in the first century as the true High Priest within the Zadok Priesthood (Gilgal). In Yeshua’s own words, this is a fact.
“Truly, I say to you, among those born of women, no one has arisen greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, and if you are willing to accept it, he (John) is Elijah who is to come. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” Matthew 11:11–14
The story of Elijah from 2 Kings flows in typology not only from Gilgal (Zadok Priesthood in typology) to Bethel (The House of God, calendar of the Jews) but also forward in time through that period of the 1260 years described in Revelation 12:5. Basically from 359 AD (The Establishment of The Hillel the Second, Calendar) until the establishment of the so-called New World in the Americas in 1619. During this time, Believers were basically forced underground as Saturn’s Day Believers during this period of time. A symbolic typology of Bethel.
Please take note of Elijah’s words to Elisha in this text: “Please stay here, for YHWH has sent me as far as Bethel.” Of all the Prophets in the Bible, no one performed more powerful miracles than Elisha. The point is that plans for great miracles to be left in the first century, and interestingly enough, with the Zadok Priesthood, are manifested through the intentions of YHWH through Elijah to this entity of Elisha. More on who or what Elisha is in typology later.
The statement, “So they went down to Bethel.” refers to the 1620-year period, plus their time in Bethel is the last 400 years of Saturn’s Day worship by the seven church eras described in Revelation chapters 2 and 3.
The statement, “And the sons of the prophets who were in Bethel came out to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that today YHWH will take away your master from over you?” is indicative of the “departure and advent” message of Our High Priest during this church age lasting 2K years, culminating in the subject of end-time prophecy in general.
Now, think deeply about what I am explaining to you here. According to Hebrews 4:14–16, Christ is Our High Priest. Thus, Elijah is a typology of this Messiah being taken away from us almost 2K years ago. Moreover, consider Elijah still has fulfillment to play from Malachi’s words concerning the last days.
“Remember the (Covenant) law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rules that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.”
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before YHWH's great and awesome day comes. And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.” Malchi 4:4–6
The statement, “And he said, “Yes, I know it; keep quiet.” is indicative of the desire for this esoteric knowledge to be kept that way… Hidden.
Thus, this Elisha, who was to be empowered by Elijah with a double portion of the Spirit, has this knowledge and continues to walk with Elijah against even YHWH's desires for him to remain in the status quo. Again, more on Elisha later.
The statement, “Elisha, please stay here, for YHWH has sent me to Jericho,” marks the beginning of the so-called Lunar Sabbath movement. Again, YHWH’s desire, through Elijah’s words, is for the Elisha figure to stay in Bethel (Saturn’s Day observance), but as we see in the story, Elisha refuses and continues this walk toward Jericho on the Jordan Plane. “As YHWH lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they came to Jericho.”
Once again, we read of the prophetic implications of looking for the returning High Priest, Yeshua, the Messiah, and the hidden truth on the matter kept silent to the world via the words, “Do you (Elisha) know that today YHWH will take away your master from over you?” And he answered, “Yes, I know it; keep quiet.”
The statement, “Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, for YHWH has sent me to the Jordan.” is an apt description of where we are today in prophecy. Today, literally on the scene of the landscape of America, there is an Elijah about to fulfill the words of Malachi 4:4–6, as well as the words from Zechariah concerning this unconverted High Priest in typology.
“Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of YHWH, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. And YHWH said to Satan, “YHWH rebuke you, O Satan! YHWH, who has chosen JerUSAlem, rebukes you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?” Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments. And the angel said to those who were standing before him, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” And to him, he said, “Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments (festal robes).” And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head (a true brainwashing/conversion).” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord was standing by.” Zechariah 3:1–5
Again, this person (the typological fulfillment of the prophecies concerning Elijah) is alive and well today and well-known to anyone in American media. Furthermore, it is clear from this account in 2 Kings 2 that YHWH’s goal is to bring this man through all three calendar cities in typology, only delayed to fulfill His prophetic word accordingly. And yes, I speak of both Elijah and Elisha, for they are one in typology, as we shall soon see.
The statement, “But he said, “As YHWH lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” is evidence of the above-stated fact. The words, “I will not leave you,” alludes to the fact that Elijah and Elisha are the same work in progress.
The statement, “Fifty men of the sons of the prophets also went and stood at some distance from them as they both were standing by the Jordan,” is indicative of the distance YHWH keeps between these two prophets (who are actually one and the same in typology) and the Woman of Revelation 12:1. The Sons of the Prophets have to be kept at a distance from the work of the unconverted High Priest Figure (again consider Zechariah 3), yet to be placed in a seat of government (taken into the heavens). Today, those who have the knowledge of the sun, moon, and stars have no avenue to teach at a governmental level… But they will.
Keep in mind the number 50 as we move forward.
Now, moving from the persons of Elijah and Elisha to the topic of these Sons of the Prophets, it must be noted that there was a body of Believers who lived in Bethel called “The Sons of the Prophets,” and there was a totally separate body of Believers, also called “The Sons of the Prophets,” who lived in Jericho. These two bodies of Believers equate to the two Revelation 12 Women.
The Sons of The Prophets in Bethel = The Revelation 12:17 people
The Sons of The Prophets in Jericho = The Revelation 12:1 people
It must also be noted that The Sons of the Prophets dwelling at Jericho are numbered 50. This number 50 has governmental ties pertaining to the Jubilee of Israel, being re-established into the Promised Land, written all over it. Clearly, these 50 make my point concerning the makeup of the Revelation 12:1 Woman who has the knowledge of the symbolic implications of the sun, moon, and stars, explained in the article I linked above, as well as the lunar/solar/celestial calendar of The Melchizedek Priesthood. This governmental implication of the number 50 is also witnessed in chapter 1 of 2Kings, where once again a story of end-time prophecy is told… But that's for another time. We’re not quite finished with this witness from chapter two. Back to the story from 2 Kings.
The Jordan River and The Jordan Plane both have biblical typological governmental significance. The word Jordan originates from the Hebrew word Yarad (H3381), meaning a downsitting or going down. The author of Hebrews equates this meaning to the weekly Sabbath, which refers to creation. It is a weekly witness to the glory of YHWH and looks toward the seventh thousand-year period of the Millenial reign of Christ’s government. The Sabbath, called Today by the author of Hebrews chapter 4.
What’s more, if you know anything about what we teach concerning the various aspects of land and water, the Jordan River and the Jordan Plane point to a time when the King and Priest, the two throne system of YHWH’s government, will be fully established.
The Water of the Jordan River = The King side of the equation. The geopolitics of a nation, unstable as water.
The Dry Land of the Jordan Plane = The Priest side of the equation. Zion means parched or dry.
The statement, “Then Elijah rolled his cloak up and struck the water, and the water was parted to the one side and to the other till the two of them could go over on dry ground,” tells the story of how this key player in end-time prophecy, Elijah, will strike the waters of The Jordan River, a direct typology of the Waters of Babylon, bringing them under control, being manifested into the dry ground of Zion a direct typology of Covenant Law.
What you have just read is only a small portion of the larger story that is told in the prophetic historical events of 2Kings. There is much more in chapter 2, which continues into the first 8 chapters of 2Kings. Maybe as time permits, I can add meat to the bones of prophecy from this section of YHWH’s word.
May The Almighty bless you in your studies.
