shining down onto the earth during the fifth seal. To get a better understanding of the fifth seal event, see the
book entitled: “Heavenly Signs – Grand Design for the Rapture.” Within the same book in chapter 12, it describes the
resurrection of the Two Witnesses prior to the sacrifice being removed. All three events from the Antichrist
receiving authority, the Two Witnesses being killed, to the sacrifice being removed occurs over four days. It is a
true wonder. This event of the sacrifice being removed occurs in the Constellation of Taurus, the bull. The bull
represents a priestly sacrifice. Both the Constellations of Aries and Taurus symbolize sacrifices. However, the
Pleiades crown of stars is below her head. It represents a fallen crown of authority given to Israel when the
Temple was under Jewish control. The planet of Mercury is a symbol of the Antichrist, which is seen above the
“great sign.” The Antichrist takes control of Jerusalem and its Temple in which the last sacrifice happens in the
evening. The “great sign.” is seen in the west just prior to sunset over Jerusalem. We know through scripture this
is the heavenly sign of the woman, which is Israel. It is the sun and moon and the Pleiades crown at her head.
This heavenly event must mark the end or “do away with the regular sacrifice” as prophesied in Daniel 11:31.

Daniel 12:11 ““From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is
37
set up, there will be 1,290 days.”
The Ram is a symbol of sacrifice. It must follow that this is the time of regular sacrifices which have been
removed from the Holy Altar. The 1290 days reflect the statement in Revelation “nourished for a time and times and
half a time” which is 1260 days. But, the regular sacrifices will be restored after an additional 30 days. This is to
bring the sanctuary to its full glory during the reign of Christ. This is why Daniel states it will be 1290 days.

Flee into the Wilderness

Revelation 12:1 “A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under
her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;”

Remember, Satan has been thrown down to the earth. Did he attempt to persecute the woman which is Israel?
The dragon and the serpent is Satan and the woman is Israel in this prophetic scripture. This passage states those
who flee into the wilderness will be nourished for three and one-half years. Is this manna from heaven?

Revelation 12:13-14 “And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the
woman who gave birth to the male child. But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman,
so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and
half a time, from the presence of the serpent.”
