May 1st Armageddon Show at 12 Noon EST in Streaming Video

The Saturday, May 1st Armageddon show beginning at 12 Noon EST at the Edge AM focuses on two important events in the news. These are filled with echoes of the Tribulation as well as the soon-coming Wedding of the Lamb in Heaven to His Bride the Church that were seen in the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton as well as some of the darker underpinnings of this event on the eve of Beltane and the beatification of Pope John Paul II. Despite their seemingly benevolent connotations, both the British Royalty and the Papacy have unimaginably dark underpinnings that serve to make them a dire reflection of the Beast and the False Prophet to come.

A Revised Introduction To
Helena Lehman’s Tribulation Time Chart

By Helena Lehman of the
Pillar of Enoch Ministry (POEM)
“Books and Articles with a Vision”

Originally published on April 27th, 2011
Updated on September 28th, 2012
and August 7th, 2013 

In this blog post, my original aim was to introduce everyone to the Tribulation Time Chart that I created to display my reasons for believing that we are already in the Tribulation period, also known as Daniel's Seventieth Week. At the time when I created the chart, I believed that the Rapture might occur by the middle of June in 2011. However, since the Rapture hasn’t happened yet, the chart that I made in April of 2011 is no longer valid, for the most part. Since some of the suppositions that I made on it are no longer valid, this article has been revised to direct you to the page that will explain what my current views are. So please be sure to read them.

Helena Lehman’s 2013 REVISED Tribulation Timeline
Based on the acclaimed Language of God Book Series:

This Sacred Astronomy focused Tribulation Timeline has been completely revised and updated to reflect my new thoughts on the Signs in the Heavens as of the end of July 2013. There is a free lower resolution image available to everyone at the above link, as well as a printable high resolution 11" X 14" image that can be accessed on a different page for a gift of as little as $7.00 to POEM. Both the low and high resolution editions allow viewers to see the great information on the special Star Gospel graphics reproduced on the timeline, although they are much easier to read and will print up much better using the high resolution image.

Palm Sunday Greetings and Rapture Awareness News

Palm Sunday is already here and the Feasts that herald the First Rapture - Passover and Firstfruits and Pentecost/Shavuot - are just around the corner. Hallelu-Yah! As we await Yahshua’s glorious appearing in the Rapture, I wanted to remember why we celebrate Palm Sunday:

“They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: ‘Hosanna to the Son of David! “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”’ - Matthew 21:7-9 (NKJ)

Yes, Hosanna! Or “Hosiyah-na” “Save Us Now” Yahshua! We await Your Salvation in the Rapture portion of the First Resurrection with hopeful anticipation that it will be very soon! Amen!

Last year, on Palm Sunday, March 28th, 2010 - as some of you already know - I received a word from Yahshua’s Spirit as I was doing some early spring gardening. As I was cleaning away the dead growth in my oriental lily flower bed, I paused to pray to Yahshua, and I asked Him if He could give me an idea of when He would come for us in the Rapture. At that time, He said: “Before the summer flowers bloom” in reference to these oriental lilies that had not even begun to sprout yet as they are summer flowers that don’t begin to bloom until late June.

But since Yahshua did not give me a year for this to come to pass, I warned everyone that my word might apply to next year rather than this year, so we would have to wait and see. Though I was deeply disappointed since the Rapture did not come last year, I am fully hopeful now that it will come this year before my oriental lilies bloom in late June. Intriguingly, Shavuot is on June 8th and Pentecost is on June 12th this year and I have long associated the First Rapture with Pentecost. So Yahshua could be coming for us very, very soon! Hallelu-Yah!

Besides sharing the above Scripture and remembering last year’s word of knowledge to me on Palm Sunday, I am also including a link to a message I wrote that refutes the Post-Tribulation view of the Rapture using a very different argument than that used by others. I posted this article’s argument defending the Pre to Mid Tribulation Rapture view on Facebook Notes page and on my Pillar of Enoch Ministry (POEM) blog in January of this year and you are welcome to comment on it. Here are the links to it:

What's Really Behind Harold Camping's World End Date of May 21st, 2011

Beware of Harold Camping! I may use allegorical meanings in my interpretation of Scripture, but they are always in line with what the literal meaning of that particular Scripture is and also with what the Holy Spirit is showing me. Also, my views are heavily reliant on interpretations that Yahshua gave in His own parables. Not so with Harold Camping, whose allegorical interpretations make Scriptures say whatever he wants them to!

Lamb and Lion Ministries is a Bible prophecy ministry proclaiming the soon return of Yahshua. In this article by Dr. David Reagan, we are shown that, despite his influence, Harold Camping was proven to be a false prophet in 1994 and there is very little truth behind this new date for the end of the world as well. So, though Christ is indeed coming soon and we need to be ready, it likely won’t be when Harold Camping supposes it will be.

God bless and Maranatha!

***************************


Harold Camping - The Madness of Date-Setting
by Dr. David R. Reagan

Articles - Doctrinal - Cults - Harold Camping


Harold Camping (age 88) is at it again! Back in 1992 he published a book titled 1994? in which he set the date for the Lord's return for September 6, 1994.1 Now, in his latest book, Time Has An End, he has set a new "absolute" date of May 21, 2011.2

Unfortunately, Camping has a lot of influence within Christendom because he owns the Family Radio Network which broadcasts his messages over 150 radio stations within the United States. His message is also being broadcast via satellites to most of the nations of the world.

Unfortunately, also, his message has been featured widely in the secular press, as is always the case with date-setters. That's because the press loves to play them up to the hilt in preparation for making fun of them when their date proves false. The result, of course, is that Bible prophecy is subjected to ridicule.

Despite the fact that he was proved to be a false prophet in 1994, Camping has convinced many people of the validity of his new date. His followers have erected billboards all over the nation. Some have emblazoned their cars with the message. Others are handing out T-shirts and bumper stickers. A website has been created at www.WeCanKnow.com. And mission groups are carrying the message to the four corners of the earth.


Camping Follower - An Historical Precedent

It is all reminiscent of a Vermont farmer by the name of William Miller who developed a theory in the 1820's, based on Daniel 8:14, that Jesus would return to the earth on March 21, 1844.3

In the King James Version that passage reads: "And he [a saint or holy one] said unto me, 'Unto 2,300 days, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.'" This is a prophecy about the desecration of the Temple by Antiochus Epiphanes and its ultimate cleansing. But Miller applied it to the end times and converted the days into years. Assuming the prophecy was given in 457 BC, he calculated that Jesus would return 2,300 years later, on March 21, 1844. Incredibly, he interpreted the "cleansing of the sanctuary" to refer to the purging of the earth by fire at the Second Coming of Jesus!

When Miller's date came and passed without any sign of the Lord's return, he proceeded to set a new date for October 22, 1844. When nothing happened on this second date, most of Miller's followers became totally disillusioned. The whole experience was dubbed "The Great Disappointment." Miller died in disgrace four years later in 1849.

But that did not prove to be the end of the matter. One small group of Miller's followers in New England decided that he had not been wrong after all. Led by a young so-called prophetess named Ellen G. White, they began to teach that on October 22, 1844, Jesus had entered the Holy of Holies in Heaven to begin an "investigative judgment" of the works of every person who has ever lived in order to determine their fitness for Heaven.4 They further taught that the reason Jesus did not return to the earth on the October date was because of the Church's failure to observe the Jewish Sabbath. And thus was founded the modern day cult known as The Seventh Day Adventists.5

Harold Camping's date-setting parallels that of the Millerite Movement in several ways. First, like Miller, his cornerstone scripture is Daniel 8:14, but he applies the 2,300 days differently. In his first book, 1994?, Camping argued that the Tribulation began on May 21, 1988 and that Jesus would return 2,300 days later, after He had cleansed the Church, resulting in a date of September 6, 1994.

And just as was the case with the Millerite Movement, when Jesus did not arrive, Camping declared that the day he had selected was spiritually very significant. The only problem was that he had misinterpreted its meaning. Instead of it being the day of the Lord's return, it was the day that the end-time pouring out of God's Spirit began, ushering in a period when there would be a great harvest of souls, after which the Lord would return.

Having justified his first error in date-setting, Camping then proceeded to set his second date for May 21, 2011. Before we consider how he arrived at his new date, let's take a look at Camping's method of biblical interpretation.


Camping's Interpretive Errors

The way Harold Camping approaches biblical interpretation could be summarized as reckless. First, as demonstrated above, he often takes prophecies that apply to a specific historical period and relates them instead to the end times. The context of Daniel 8:14 makes it clear that the prophecy of 2,300 days applies to the time when a tyrant by the name of Antiochus Epiphanes desecrated the Temple in Jerusalem. It was 2,300 days later, after the Maccabean Revolt, that the Temple was cleansed and rededicated. The prophecy has nothing to do with the end times or with a cleansing of the Church.

Camping's greatest error of interpretation is rooted in his insistence that the Bible is a parable from beginning to end and thus must be interpreted allegorically.6 He insists that the real meaning of any passage is to be found in its hidden spiritual meaning that can only be decoded by true believers. Such an approach to Scripture makes it possible for Camping to interpret passages in any way he pleases, and that is exactly what he does.

As an example, he argues that the Two Witnesses in Revelation 11 represent the Church, and that when the time for the Church's witness comes to an end, God will kill (or destroy) the Church. The fact of the matter is that there is nothing in Revelation 11 that even hints that the Two Witnesses are anything other than two persons who will be anointed by God to call the world to repentance during the first half of the Tribulation.

Another trick Camping constantly resorts to is re-translating Scriptures in unorthodox ways to give them the meaning he desires. An example of this can be found in his effort to prove that God is revealing new truths today. He quotes Hebrews 8:8 which declares that God "will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah." This, of course, is speaking of the New Testament, but Camping says, no, it is talking about providing new revelations in the end times and should therefore be translated to say that "God will finish a new covenant" rather than make one!7

Often times he will simply quote only part of a verse, giving it a meaning it never was intended to have. An example of this will be provided later.

Since Camping was trained as an engineer, he loves numbers, and he plays with them constantly, giving them any meaning that he happens to need to support his off-the-wall interpretations. Thus, when he needs a number to be literal (as with the 2,300 days in Daniel 8:14), he interprets it literally. But if he needs it to be symbolic, then so be it, regardless of the context. Accordingly, he interprets the one thousand years of the Millennium to be 1,955 years! That's because he equates the Millennium with the Church Age.

Camping's End-Time Scenario

The result is an end-time scenario that is right out of Alice in Wonderland because it is based on twisted scriptures, allegorical imaginings, and number tricks. Below is a summary of it.8 Let me warn you that before you read it, you'd better sit down and take a deep breath!

The Church Age ended on May 21, 1988 and the Tribulation began that day.

Between May 21, 1988 and September 6, 1994, the first six years of the Tribulation, almost no one was saved.

On September 6, 1994, God began to pour out His Spirit. This will result in a great end time harvest of souls during the last years of the Tribulation.

Since the Tribulation will last 8,400 days or 23 years, dating from May 21, 1988, the Rapture will occur on May 21, 2011.

Those left behind will be judged by Jesus for a period of five months, until October 21, 2011, at which time the world will come to an end.


Problems with Camping's End Time Scenario

Okay, I gave you fair warning. Now, this scenario raises a lot of questions. One of the most important is, "How did he arrive at the date of May 21, 1988 as the end of the Church Age?" The answer is enthralling:

He begins his explanation by asserting that the first Jubilee Year after the re-establishment of Israel in 1948 was 1994.

Then he says that because the last part of the Tribulation is identified with a great multitude to be saved (Revelation 7), the last part of the Tribulation must have begun in 1994, since it was the first Jubilee Year since the re-establishment of Israel in 1948.

He then explains that because the first part of the Tribulation must be identified with the 2,300 days of Daniel, the Tribulation must have begun 2,300 days earlier, which would place it in 1988.

And since the Church was established on the Day of Pentecost, the end of the Church Age must have occurred on the day before Pentecost, which in 1988 was May 21.

Thus, the Church Age ended and the Tribulation began on May 21, 1988. Absolutely mind-boggling! All this "explanation" succeeds in doing is raising a whole host of other questions:

Who says the first Jubilee Year in Israel after the re-establishment of the state was 1994? The Jews make no such claim. According to Jewish traditions, the very first Jubilee Year was celebrated 50 years after the Jewish people entered the land of Canaan.9 Accordingly, it would seem logical to assume that a resumption of the Jubilee Years in modern times would start with the year 1998, 50 years after Israel was re-established in 1948. But the fact is that the Jubilee Year today is neither calculated nor celebrated because the Jews believe there can be no celebration of the Jubilee until a majority of all Jews, representing all tribes, are back in the land. So, Camping's very first step in his calculations is totally invalid.

Who says that the last part of the Tribulation is to be identified with the great host of saved people who are pictured in Revelation 7 as Tribulation martyrs? The chronology of Revelation puts these people in the first half of the Tribulation, not the latter part.

Where does he get the idea that the last part of the Tribulation is going to be a great time of world wide evangelism and soul-saving? The book of Revelation pictures the last half of the Tribulation as a time of absolute chaos on earth.

Who says the 2,300 days of Daniel 8:14 must be identified with the first part of the Tribulation? This is not even an end time prophecy!

Who says the Church Age must end on the day before Pentecost? The Church Age will end when the Church is raptured out of this world, and that is an event that can occur at any time.

Another question Camping's end time scenario raises is, "How did he come up with the date of May 21, 2011 for the Rapture?"

The answer is simple. He just asserts that since the Tribulation lasts 23 years, the Rapture will occur on May 21, 2011, because that is 23 years after the Tribulation began on May 21, 1988. I was never able to figure out how he arrived at 23 years for the length of the Tribulation when both Daniel and Revelation make it clear that the Tribulation will last 7 years. I'm sure his answer is there somewhere, based on allegorical interpretation, but I couldn't find it.

All of which reveals another trick this master magician uses. His writings are so obtuse as to be indecipherable, a technique that convinces many people that he must be a profound thinker who has received revelations from God that are beyond the comprehension of the average person.

Another question which he does answer is, "Where does he get the idea of a five month period of judgment following the Rapture?" You're not going to believe this, but he points first to Revelation 9:5 where it states that one of the Tribulation judgments of God will be locusts who sting like scorpions, a judgment that will last for five months. The passage is, of course, talking about one of the seven Trumpet judgments that will take place on the earth during the first half of the Tribulation.

The second passage he points to is just downright surreal. He cites John 21:11 where it says the disciples caught 153 fish! He interprets this allegorically to mean that there will be 153 days of judgment after the Rapture (or five months). Do you see how allegorical interpretation results in the interpreter becoming God? It's because he can make the scriptures say and mean whatever he pleases.

To compound the idiocy, Camping then claims that he can prove that the number 153 has great theological significance. After all, he points out, 3x3x17=153. So, what's the significance of that equation? He asserts, without proof, that the number 17 stands for Heaven, and the number 3 represents God's purpose. So, the equation means, "God's purpose (3) is to take people to Heaven (17)." And the number 3 is doubled to signify that God really means what He says! He then fails to explain how this has anything to do with 153 days of judging the lost.

Of course, another question I would like to ask Camping is, "How can we be in the Tribulation when the book of Revelation teaches that one-half of humanity will die during the first 3 1/2 years when the Antichrist is conducting wars that will enable him to conquer all the earth?" Where are those wars? Where is such a death count? Where is the Antichrist?


Playing With Numbers

As I pointed out earlier, Camping is a former engineer, and as such, he loves to play with numbers. They are an obsession with him.

The best example is a mathematical formula he discovered that absolutely convinced him that he is correct in dating the end of the Church Age to May 21, 1988. He treats this formula in his writings as if it has eclipsed the world's previously most important equation — namely, E=MC2. Once again, you had better sit down. Here's how it goes:

From the time of the crucifixion on April 11, 33 AD (a date that is not agreed upon by scholars) to May 21, 2011 is a total of 722,500 days.

The number 722,500 is made up of two sets of an identical series of numbers: 5x10x17 x 5x10x17 = 722,500.

Now, since the number 5 stands for atonement (Says who?) and 10 stands for perfection (Since when?) and 17 stands for Heaven (Give me a break!), this formula means, "Atonement has been completed for Heaven," and it is repeated twice for emphasis.

And if that silliness is not enough, Camping points to another calculation of his that he says validates his date for the Rapture. He states that the Noahic Flood occurred in 4990 BC (most Evangelical scholars place it from 2500 to 2300 BC!). He then points out that the time span from 4990 BC to 2011 is exactly 7,000 years.

Even if this were true, what would it prove? Well, Camping says that when Noah preached that Mankind had 7 days to escape the destruction (Genesis 7:4), he was really saying that Mankind had 7,000 years of existence left, since to God a thousand years is as a day. Once again, we find allegorical interpretation running amok!
The Ultimate Challenge

All date-setters have to deal with Matthew 24:36 where Jesus, speaking of His return, said, "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone."

Camping dismisses this statement as being no longer true. He says it all changed in September of 1994 when the Holy Spirit began to be poured out and new revelations concerning the end times began to be given to true believers. He argues this is in fulfillment of a promise given in Ecclesiastes 8:5 where it states that "a wise heart knows the proper time and procedure."

Once again, Camping just fishes around for some words to substantiate an unrelated point. Ecclesiastes 8:5 is specifically talking about being obedient to political leaders. It says that a wise heart knows the proper time and procedure to obey a royal command. The fact that it is so specific is the reason that Camping only quotes the last half of the verse.

Camping also quotes Daniel 12:4 & 9. These verses state that certain end time prophecies will not be understood until the time comes for them to be fulfilled. This is certainly true with regard to prophecies that depend upon historical developments (like the re-establishment of Israel). The verses also relate to prophecies that rely on modern technology (like the whole world looking upon the dead bodies of the two witnesses in Jerusalem). But these verses certainly do not apply to Jesus' statement in Matthew 24:36 where He stated without reservation that no one can know the date of His return.

Camping also points to 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5 which says that the Lord will return "like a thief in the night," but not as such for "brethren" who are "sons of light and sons of day." Camping argues that these verses mean that true believers can know the date of the Lord's return. But that is not the meaning of this passage. Instead, it simply means that believers can know the season of the Lord's return (and not the date) because we have been given signs to watch for.


The Emergence of a New Cult

One final observation about Harold Camping — he is not only just a false prophet, he is also a cult leader. This has not always been true of him, but it has become increasingly apparent over the past 20 years.10 It was confirmed in 2002 with the publication of his book entitled, The End of the Church Age... And After. 11

In that book he proclaimed once again that God had washed His hands of the Church on May 21, 1988 when the Church Age came to an end. But this time he went even further. He declared that all churches in existence today are apostate and therefore are incapable of saving anyone. This conclusion prompted him to issue a call for all Bible-believing Christians to leave their churches. The clear implication was for them to affiliate with his group, since they are the only truly enlightened ones. The book brims with heretical statements from beginning to end, the most blasphemous being his assertion that "the Angel Michael is the Lord Jesus Christ."12

Camping's teaching about the Church is as wrong as it can be. The Church is inseparable from Jesus, for the Bible teaches that the Church is the Body of Christ, with Christ as its head (Ephesians 1:22, 4:15 and 5:23. See also: Colossians 1:18 and 2:19). Further, Jesus promised that the gates of Hades would never be able to prevail against the Church (Matthew 16:18).

Further evidence of his drift toward the cults is to be found in recent reports that he is now teaching that there is no such thing as a literal Hell.13 He argues it was doctrine devised by man to intimidate people. According to Camping, when an unbeliever dies, he will be judged by God and then be annihilated.

What has happened to Harold Camping is what always happens when a person starts playing with the Word of God, arguing that it does not mean what it says, but, rather, it means what that person wants it to mean.
Conclusion

In conclusion, there is only one thing I know for certain about the date of May 21, 2011, and that is that Jesus will not return on that day. He may appear in the Rapture the day before or the day after, but it will not be on May 21. The Rapture is an event that can occur any moment. We cannot know the date, but we can know the season, for we have been given signs to watch for, and those signs are all around us today.

We are definitely in the season, and the crucial question is, "Are you ready?" You can answer that question positively and with certainty only if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior. If you have done that, then you can cry out, "Maranatha! Come quickly, Lord Jesus!"

Topics For The APRIL 13th Armageddon Show in Streaming Video at 9 pm EST:

Helena’s APRIL 13th Armageddon Show will air at an all new time WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT 9 PM EST, 6 pm PST and will focus on the prophetic connection of Passover and the Firstfruits Offering during the Feast of Unleavened Bread to Yahshua’s death and Resurrection. It will show how the First Rapture is connected to Pentecost and the summer as per the Song of Solomon and the Book of Ruth.

In addition, Helena will recall her reinterpretation of the nature and timing of the Tribulation referred to in the synoptic Gospels to show how this view potentially affects the timing and nature of the Sign of the Son of Man. If the Tribulation mentioned is referring to World Wars I and II, then the Sign of the Son of Man is connected to the First Rapture rather than to Christ’s Second Coming to fight the wicked in the Battle of Armageddon.

The Prophetic Fulfillment of the Nine Jewish Feasts

By Helena Lehman of
Pillar of Enoch Ministry

http://pillar-of-enoch.com

The Chanukiah illustration below reflects my interpretation of the Nine Jewish Feasts, these being the Seven Feasts Ordained by Yahweh with the addition of Purim and Chanukah, the Feasts Connected to the adoption of the Gentile Nations into God's Plan of Redemption and their destined entrance into God's Kingdom.

Though it is true to some extent that the Feast of Trumpets is connected to the Rapture, I find the traditional interpretation of the prophetic fulfillment of this feast to be a bit simplistic. In truth, the Feast of Trumpets signifies the Second or Pre-Wrath Rapture, not the First or Early/Pre-Tribulation Rapture, which is associated with Pentecost/Shavuot. The Two Rapture view is becoming more accepted and has several biblical precedents. To show how I think the Feasts have been and will be fulfilled with the Two-Rapture theory in mind, I created this graphic using a Chanukiah, a nine-branched menorah.

In addition to the seven traditional Jewish Feast associations, the later Feasts of Purim and Chanukah that were added by the Jewish people to reflect their history have been added to this menorah so that there is a Feast association with all nine branches. This illustration is meant to show the reason why there is some confusion and misinterpretation going on in the Body of Christ. The Feasts of Purim and Chanukah are the Feasts connected to the addition of the Gentile Nations into the Kingdom of God and they cannot be prophetically discounted or ignored without falling into interpretive errors.
