We are now in the midst of a season of greatly heightened Satanic ritual, so stay on guard. The season of preparation has just past, where the victims chosen for sacrifice have been abducted and prepared. The Grand Climax extends from 4/26 to 5/1, and the rituals actually continue through 5/3. 4/30 is Walpurgisnacht, Roodmas Day or Beltane Eve, the greatest Witches Sabbat. May 1 is May Day, Beltane or Walpurgis Day.
Tuesday the 29th, there will be an annular solar eclipse that will add substantially to the Adversary's provisioning of this season as it is leveraged by Occult ritual.
Yesterday, the big event was in Rome where both Popes held a double canonization at the Vatican, sponsored by corporate interests. Their event was broadcast globally in 3D High Def projection from their 13 (rebel-lord-beast) cameras stationed around St. Peter's Square. It included a Mass with Eucharist, which I've just written about. I expose that ritual as a baptism and anointing of the beast that celebrates the implicit 13th day of the 1st month. (When Will the Lawless One be Revealed? Ninth Installment) The mark of the beast symbol surrounding the obelisk was filled with and surrounded by a million worshipers. Truly, a MASS ritual.

This past Saturday night, after the checkered flag waved ending the NASCAR Cup race in Richmond, VA (Virginia is for Lovers), two drivers had a fight. The driver of car #9 punched the driver of car #13 in the left eye. "Mears wore sunglasses for most of Sunday's event, but it was clear the punch left a gnarly bruise and swollen left eye." (source)
The 13 rebel-lord-beast as Horus, who rules with two eyes, i.e. Harmerty with his left eye darkened. The left eye was darkened by #9, which is the single digit number of the beast transformation. The transformation manifested in the black eye. The driver of #9 is Marcos Ambrose. “Mark us” with the mark of the beast. Ambrosia - nectar of the gods. He gave the other driver the mark, transforming him with a darkening of the left eye into Horus. The driver of #13 is Casey Mears. Double Code 33. C is the 3rd letter and M is a rotated 3 so CM ~ 33. Casey ~ KC and K is 11th letter and C is 3rd, so KC ~ 3*11=33.
Mears, the meaning of the name is someone who lived near a boundary, or pond - the beast seen rising from the sea. The car's main sponsor is Geico and a picture of their mascot is featured on the car's hood. It's a gecko, a lizard and reptile, of the serpent family. This one talks and walks upright and acts like a human, so it's a beast. The sponsor's schtick with the gecko is a confusion of identity, Geico ~ gecko so there's the (messianic) identity swap.

Judas - the music video by Lady Gaga features a strongly emphasized but cryptic scene of baptism and anointing
There's one last item to cover before moving on to focus on the part of the 13th day when Judas betrays Jesus. Lady Gaga's music video of her single “Judas” (from the “Born This Way” album in 2011) features a scene of the washing of feet that took place in the upper room with other imagery woven in that emphasizes what must be seen as a baptism and anointing.
Some recognize the part where Jesus, Gaga and Judas are in the tub as a faux-baptismal scene but is apparent to me that the entire sequence from 3:45 to ~4:19 is picturing the baptism and anointing of the lawless one. When you know how central that is to the story it's pretty obvious, and this demonstrates how the video is spilling the beans on what they know.
The producers understand about symbols, which are evident throughout in both the visual and audible layers. During the lengthy baptism sequence the dance music is interrupted, and through that technique of creating a void to leverage the dynamic of balance it's been given emphasis as something of great importance. It should be noted that the symbolism of the dramatic production also identifies to us that it's a working of ceremonial magick, and the meaning of the symbols reveals the purpose. With a featuring of Judas and the events of the day of revealing, this adds to the expanding sum of works that are preparing the world for the coming 13th day of the 1st month, when their beloved betrayer is scheduled to arrive.
Framing the issue - Catholics vs Lady Gaga. From Wikipedia: “Before its release, the Catholic League's president Bill Donahue criticized the music video for its portrayal of Gaga as Mary Magdalene. ...After its release, the Catholic League released a further statement stating: "In her 'Judas' video, Lady Gaga plays fast and loose with Catholic iconography, and generates several untoward statements, but she typically dances on the line without going over it. The faux-baptismal scene is a curious inclusion, as is her apparent fondness for the Jesus character."”
“The faux-baptismal scene is a curious inclusion” - so the Catholic League obviously isn't acknowledging the dark secret of the Eucharist. Is there a good guy in the conflict? No, but there's always skirmishes in the Enemy' camp and it makes for engaging theater. They are fellow sun cult worshipers of Horus. Is her eye makeup ambiguous? When the conspicuous baptism scene begins, it's at the 3:45 marker. Those numbers signal the production of Horus through the union of Osiris and Isis, and that's what the baptism scene pictures. Some rightly recognize Sandro Botticelli's “The Birth of Venus” and the link between Venus and Isis explains that connection, which is strengthened by the Mary Magdalene role-playing, the emphasis on her belly, the “Sacred Heart of Mary” costume and the “Born This Way” context.
The scenes of Lady Gaga performing in the baptismal tub provide us with the imagery of both a baptism and anointing (Luke 7:37-39, John 11:2, 12:3). This is the combination I've been giving a lot of attention! The flames that are featured in the scene suggest that the baptism in view is not only of water but also of the fire that is characteristic of the messiah's subsequent baptizing (Matthew 3:11).
The Catholic League recognizes the Catholic iconography. The Electric Chapel dance club is a Catholic church, making that a fit setting for the baptism/betrayal. Do I need to repeat that? While they don't acknowledge the dark secret of the Eucharist at least they recognize the faux-baptismal scene in the tub.
The script of the neon red Electric Chapel sign features the familiar flourishes concealing 666. Under the sign is the sun form alluding to the Gesu (t)IHS host bearing image. Electric Chapel - EC - Code 33. The word “electric” speaks to me of the supernaturalism of the light technology involved in the mislabeling-misdirection deception cloaking the sign for the Bride and the disarming hoax that precedes it in the Blitzkrieg style assault on the saints.
The classic circle X symbol of the mark of the beast is seen on the dance club floor on a shirt above an eagle that resembles the one on the great seal of the U.S.A. If you see that in the setting of Rome's Vatican City and St. Peter's Square you can identify it with the central obelisk that was sourced from Heliopolis in Egypt. Crowned eagles appear around the base and it is set in the center of a circle X figure.
Clearly, they know stuff - major stuff.
Another costumed dancer features the Baphomet or Goat of Mendes (and Satanic Pentacle - Duat - underworld) image on her shirt, which is an identity linked to the Romish Jesuit pontiff and to the spiritual head of that church. See above where collections of images compare Eliphas Lévi's Baphomet to Vicente Juan Masip's “Christ With Eucharist” and to the Coat of Arms belonging to Pope Francis, aka Jorge Bergoglio.
The establishing of the importance of baptism in the Judas scenario might be the top ranked feature of the video but the stoning of a bride to death makes that ranking a pretty close competition. This closing scene of the video has to seem nonsensical to those who don't understand what's coming in 2015. There are two sacrificial brides potentially in view. One is the anti-bride of chosen ones who love Judas and are prepared by the Illuminati programmers to survive the Black Awakening and to be the guard as the Swiss Guard is to the Vatican. She will sacrifice herself for his cause without hesitation. The other is the true Bride of Christ. Gaga had been playing the role of Mary Magdalene, the character Illuminists claim was secretly Jesus' lover. See the bride that is stoned to death by the religious zealots as the true Bride of Christ in that day, who will be sacrificed as a crop of barley plowed into the soil. See the stones on the ground around her?
Tom Horn is preparing to release a compilation titled Blood on the Altar, which is apparently about the coming persecution of the true church, perhaps even by others of the professing church. This is what's going to happen, but those persecuted will be the Bride, as pictured in the music video, not that multitude of saints who will deceived, asleep and drunk on the wine of Mystery Babylon in that day. There must be blood on the altar because the Bride's willing sacrifice, as her Bridegroom's before her, is necessary. Think about this, how that only a clean and worthy and holy sacrifice is acceptable. (Do you understand why Joseph's cup was found in Benjamin's sack of grain of salvation?)
The baptism demonstrated when Jesus dipped the bread is no secret to the Adversary. When you understand that modeling of the lawless one and the reproduction of the seed of the serpent through the mark of the beast, the Eucharist that is at the heart of the Catholic mass based upon that model is proof of that, and so is Lady Gaga's Judas video. The Devil continues to leverage his dark secrets about the day of revealing that is appointed for the next anniversary of “the last supper” on the Lord's calendar.

When Will the Lawless One be Revealed? Ninth Installment
This installment is part of the work of updating Part 2 of The Sign for the Bride, one of the core studies on theopenscroll.com. You can find the study being updated here: When Will the Lawless One be Revealed? (The Sign for the Bride - Part 2).
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Before I begin to address the part of the 13th day when Judas betrays Jesus there are still a couple of items that pertain to the “last supper” that require our attention.
The Dark Secret of the Eucharist and the Rite of Communion
At the core of every Catholic Mass is their “blessed sacrament,” the Eucharist, which is a reenactment of the last supper. An unblinking look at the traditional ceremonial practice of the Rite of Communion reveals it to be a reenactment of the reproduction of the anti-bread from heaven. While some will consider this statement to be shockingly offensive and heretical, the truth is that ceremonies performed on this model are the practice of idolatry and witchcraft, even blood sacrifice, cannibalism and sex magick. Keep reading and you'll discover how this insight exposes the priesthood's role in this fraud as they continually perform elaborate ritual pre-enactments in celebration of the coming revelation of the beast and the subsequent reproduction of the Serpent's seed through his mark.
Wikipedia describes what happens during the Communion Rite of Mass, which is also known as the Liturgy of the Eucharist. “The sign of peace is exchanged and then the "Lamb of God" ("Agnus Dei" in Latin) litany is sung or recited, while the priest breaks the host and places a piece in the main chalice; this is known as the rite of fraction and commingling. The priest then presents the transubstantiated elements to the congregation, saying: "Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb."”
What is meant by “the sign of peace” is a kiss, the kiss of peace. If you ignore the misdirection of the ceremonial language and rightly link this symbolic action to the historical context being referenced you will realize that it was Judas who did the kissing and take that as a clue. There is a betrayal in this ritual practice. If you take what you think their words mean and flip it, you'll get what is really meant. Lies are imprinted over the truth in the customary way of Mystery Babylon the Great. Behold the counterfeit Lamb of God, the impostor! It's a cursed impartation of sin!
When you consider the “kiss of peace” and the interaction where the priests dispense the commingled elements like when Jesus dispensed the dipped bread to Judas, it becomes apparent that the Rite is designed according to a profound understanding of what I described earlier in this study, in the section titled Replicating the living bread through eating. The transubstantiation claimed to occur when the priest places the broken host in the chalice is purported to be the transformation of the bread to flesh and of the wine to blood that is Christ's very own, but the dark secret is that it's actually Antichrist's own! Judas received the baptism of anti-bread anointing, and then Satan entered into him. That prophetic picture reveals how the lawless one's flesh and blood will be transformed at the infusion of pneuma antichristos and THAT is the model and dark secret of transubstantiation!
Consider the common form of the bread called a host that is a plus sign or X embedded on a circular disk. You may identify it as a sun wheel, the ancient sign of the sun god. The symbols that attend such services and the typical manner in which they are performed indicates to those who can interpret them rightly that the sun god is the one being honored, even where the bread doesn't bear the form of the sun disk and the one dispensing it isn't called a priest. (Have you ever considered an Easter sunrise service in light of Ezekiel 8:16-17?)
What is a host? What or whom is being hosted? Here's a vital insight into the meaning of the host. This bread bears the symbol of the mark of the beast. Although I've only very briefly documented this symbol on the blog, I've been collecting images and video clips on this classic MOB symbolism for a while, and the evidence suggests that circle X or XO may perhaps be just as widely leveraged as the related embedding of transformations of 666. The communion host bears the circle X mark of the beast because it represents the anti-bread transformed flesh that bears the genetic signature of the beast. The X or trans- mark indicates what you get when you cross a man with a god and create a transdimensional instance of space-time binding. When one acting as a priest distributes the anti-bread he's reproducing that anointing as through the mark of the beast, marking each member of the body of Antichrist as another of the Judas-kind when Satan entered into him. In the prefigured reality, those so identified with the one doomed to destruction are appointed to share also in his experience in the lake of fire.
If you can read the symbolism you may rightly identify the squared circle host as a practicing witch would, as what is called the magic circle. This Rite of Communion is performed by the officiating Romish priest in a manner equivalent to any other high priest of the magickal arts. He pulls off a kind of stage trick that “the faithful” are programmed to believe is more than merely symbolic. And, indeed it is, just not in the way they are led to see it. When the host is eaten by the faithful during the Eucharist (or bread in a ceremony that is modeled on that Rite of Communion), they are engaged in a sympathetic magick ritual. This model of the pneuma antichristos anointing being reproduced through the mark of the beast has a supernaturalism - as above, so below.
If you want to learn more about the symbolism of liturgy I recommend this study titled, Ash Wednesday - A "Fourth Day" Ritual Prefiguring the Mark of the Beast. I also recommend this post where you'll learn why the slang word for excrement is encoded in the Jesuit brand stamped on some versions of the host: Part 79 - The Sodomite Gateway - Holy tIHS!
When the day arrives when the Papal High Priest and False Prophet performs the baptism and anoints the lawless one, what will finally be realized is the fulfillment of the Eucharist, the ritual reenactment of the last supper and their sacred sacrament that has for so long borne the implicit testimony of that 13th day of the 1st month! However, that won't yet be the end of the scheme because there's a MASS distribution involved where the un-living bread from heaven is introduced into the global population through their interaction with the dispensing priesthood.
If your eyes are open to behold the nature and operational function of this religious mechanism you will be able to grasp how each Mass and every ritual communion that has ever been held, from inception until now, has celebrated the sign of the 13th day of the 1st month in a potent combination of both of what are considered to be Christianity's most sacred sacraments or ordinances, communion and baptism. Others of the professing church as daughters of the mother church celebrate similar versions of the formal rite of communion, generally rejecting the miraculous claims made by the Vatican involving transubstantiation while retaining a liturgical form that requires a matching mystical action. The professionals of religion with practiced sleight-of-hand deftly shift the replication of the false to superimpose it over the genuine.
During the Inquisition, people were often tortured to produce a confession admitting to the actuality of that transformation, which speaks to how vital this aspect of the ritual really is. This is not peripheral for the Romish church, or for most of her daughter churches. The concept of this supernatural transformation that the Romish priesthood has ever been so insistent about comes from somewhere, and that source really deserves a hard look because that's the place from where the meaning derives.
When people have been coerced under duress to confess the actuality of the transubstantiation, like during the Inquisition, the trauma induced in the extreme pressure brought to bear feeds the ritual energy to the priests. The modeling witnessed during seasons of such activity presents the picture of when the mark of the beast will be offered. To be received, the mark will have to be accepted willingly, but the incentive will be strong. It will be offered with the obvious framed set of options and sold as what will “save” your life. It will seem like the logical, responsible and noble option. Eat it, take the mark into your body and be changed - or die. Those without the mark will be denied access to the beast system, which will represent all the natural provision of food and shelter upon which this natural life depends.
If you can read this and continue to participate in Mass or in those related forms of communion rites officiated by the priesthood of Mystery Babylon in the high places, I don't know what more can be done for you. Repent of it, I implore you, calling upon the Lord's mercy while it may yet be granted.

16 And he [vs 11 - the beast who had two horns like a lamb and spoke as a dragon] causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six. ~ Revelation 13:16-18

Others of the professing church as daughters of the mother church celebrate similar versions of the formal rite of communion, generally rejecting the miraculous claims made by the Vatican involving transubstantiation while retaining a liturgical form that requires a matching mystical action. The professionals of religion with practiced sleight-of-hand deftly shift the replication of the false to superimpose it over the genuine.
During the Inquisition, people were often tortured to produce a confession admitting to the actuality of that transformation, which speaks to how vital this aspect of the ritual really is. This is not peripheral for the Romish church, or for most of her daughter churches. The concept of this supernatural transformation that the Romish priesthood has ever been so insistent about comes from somewhere, and that source really deserves a hard look because that's the place from where the meaning derives.
When people have been coerced under duress to confess the actuality of the transubstantiation, like during the Inquisition, the trauma induced in the extreme pressure brought to bear feeds the ritual energy to the priests. The modeling witnessed during seasons of such activity presents the picture of when the mark of the beast will be offered. To be received, the mark will have to be accepted willingly, but the incentive will be strong. It will be offered with the obvious framed set of options and sold as what will “save” your life. It will seem like the logical, responsible and noble option. Eat it, take the mark into your body and be changed - or die. Those without the mark will be denied access to the beast system, which will represent all the natural provision of food and shelter upon which this natural life depends.
If you can read this and continue to participate in Mass or in those related forms of communion rites officiated by the priesthood of Mystery Babylon in the high places, I don't know what more can be done for you. Repent of it, I implore you, calling upon the Lord's mercy while it may yet be granted.
4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues; 5 for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. ~ Revelation 18:4-5

When Will the Lawless One be Revealed? Eighth Installment
The Feast has now past and we are counting the Omer toward Shavuot, the next harvest and pilgrimage Feast on the calendar.
This installment is part of the work of updating Part 2 of The Sign for the Bride, one of the core studies on theopenscroll.com. You can find the study being updated here: When Will the Lawless One be Revealed? (The Sign for the Bride - Part 2).

Open thou mine eyes
John's account of the supper in the upper room has more to reveal to those who are being prepared for that day when the one Judas models is revealed through baptism. The scale of deception cloaking the identity of the false claimant to the messianic throne has certainly not been neglected in this study of the sign but neither has it yet received the full amount of attention due.
The account features a signal that quietly underscores the critical matter of revealing in the midst of a great concealing. The breaking of bread signals the opening of the eyes for seeing what had been hidden. This meal in the upper room involves bread being dipped as the action of the sign that reveals. Jesus is breaking bread and distributing it. This symbolic action is perhaps most clearly illustrated for us in Luke 24.
Consider what it is that had been concealed. What was revealed in the breaking of bread was the identity of the one who broke the bread, Y'shua. So it is in the upper room, where bread is broken and identities are being revealed! The dipping of bread that is symbolic of the baptism that reveals made the identity of the betrayer known; Judas. The breaking of bread reveals the identity of the one breaking the bread, Y'shua. Through the baptism and anointing revealing the identity of the lawless one, that man will be recognized by a certain target audience (numbering 144,000) as the counterfeit bread from heaven, and, in this, the true living bread from Heaven Himself will be recognized in the breaking of bread. (For other studies where the opening of the eyes is pictured in the breaking of bread, see here and here and here.)
The opening of the eyes to recognize a secret identity is a very selective matter with this kind of bread that may either be blessed or cursed as anti-bread. Read the 13th chapter of John and think about it in this light. With regard to both haMashiach and the impostor, the careful management of the concealing and revealing of identity is a mission critical operation. The reason for this awesome show of authority is established in Romans 11 where we learn how the shifting interplay between Jew and Gentile will eventually result in God showing mercy to all and reconciling the world - to His glory!
The Bible contains several accounts of the Lord's declaring, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” That, too, represents a selective operation because not everyone has ears to hear that may be opened. The Lord exercises authority over who hears what and when with refined precision. Put another way, His firewalls are impenetrable and His encryption methodologies are flawless, His information security access protocols and the granularity of His sandbox management are models of perfection.
The deception and deluding influence described in 2 Thessalonians 2 is awaiting those who perish, who take pleasure in wickedness and are judged accordingly. What we see on exhibit in John 13 is the provision for those who will not perish. It's for those who receive the love of the truth and come to the salvation it represents, who will be of that small number who are not deceived in that season of crisis. This message should be seeming very familiar, but I'm not just repeating myself. Recall the distinctions made on the basis of knowing the times in passages like 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 and Matthew 24:42-51. When you have received revelation insight into the timing it becomes very apparent that it goes beyond merely learning to parrot the dates offered herein. When you have truly accessed that treasure vault that is sealed off behind the timing, with the requisite level of security clearance gained only by earning the trust of the Keeper of Secrets, Y'shua, the deeper matters of salvation are accessible.
The following announcement was made during the meal, which conceals and reveals something for us today.
Why is that particular message right there in verse 20? He's talking about His disciples who would become His emissaries, apostles or “sent ones,” both in that day and in ours, and note well the very specific context. Why is it written, “Truly, Truly”? Did the Lord stutter? No. Truly; once for what was about to unfold later that same day and then once more for those who would come, perhaps even you and I. We have been told in advance for a good reason.
Earlier, Jesus had spoken privately with his disciples on the Mount of Olives, teaching them and us about our day and the nearly universal deception that would attend it.
Being properly informed in advance is required for our defense against this deception in the day of the false Christ's arising, “that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9) Is this sinking in? The entire 24th chapter has an underlying theme of knowing the time (Will No One Know the Day?) that those who can read between the lines rightly may take comfort in, aware that it is not possible to mislead the elect. It's not only possible to mislead all others but we're assured that they will absolutely be deceived.
The extent of this deception is evident during the meal because some of the disciples were kept in the dark about what was happening.
How many of those in attendance were reclining at the table? How many weren't? The subtle implication is that some knew and some didn't. The Young's Literal Translation is worded like the NASB, and the Aramaic Bible in Plain English renders verse 28, “But no man among those reclining knew why he spoke to him.” In that situation, those reclining at the table represent those who will be misled, and those who would not have been reclining represent the elect, awake, sober and alert.
The setting of the upper room is prophetic. The room was both furnished and prepared in advance for a special purpose. An upper room is one that is high, exalted and heavenly. There was every necessary benefit provided for them, then, but it should be known how an upper room of sorts is being furnished and prepared for the coming day that is of a fit kind and scale.

30 When He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight.
...
35 They began to relate their experiences on the road and how He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread. ~ Luke 24:30-31, 35
...

The following announcement was made during the meal, which conceals and reveals something for us today.
19 From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He. 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.” ~ John 13:19-20
Why is that particular message right there in verse 20? He's talking about His disciples who would become His emissaries, apostles or “sent ones,” both in that day and in ours, and note well the very specific context. Why is it written, “Truly, Truly”?

We have been told in advance for a good reason.
Earlier, Jesus had spoken privately with his disciples on the Mount of Olives, teaching them and us about our day and the nearly universal deception that would attend it.
24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. 25 Behold, I have told you in advance. ~ Matthew 24:24-25
Being properly informed in advance is required for our defense against this deception in the day of the false Christ's arising, “that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9) Is this sinking in?

The extent of this deception is evident during the meal because some of the disciples were kept in the dark about what was happening.
28 Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him. 29 For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we have need of for the feast”; or else, that he should give something to the poor. ~ John 13:28-29
How many of those in attendance were reclining at the table? How many weren't? The subtle implication is that some knew and some didn't.

Bill Clinton's offspring - a timely sign
So far in this study we've seen only two of the biblical examples that foreshadow the revealing of the lawless one on the 13th day of the 1st month, and I'm not even finished mining the treasure in the second. There are more to come from the Bible and others that have come since the Bible was written that involve signs in both the heavens and in the earth, and that are of natural and supernatural kinds. Some of these were witnessed during my watch, and all are part of the record. When the day arrives, and I confidently assert that there is now less than a single year remaining, none of us will have an excuse that we were not given adequate notice to prepare in advance of that day of strong delusion. The Lord promised that some would know the times in advance just like Noah did, and He is faithful.
I'm interrupting the flow of the presentation to give attention to the important context of the present day in which this revision is being made. I've told much of my story of this sign watch before and it warrants another telling here.
Thirteen years ago, the Lord had me watching Bill Clinton closely on the annual watch day. I knew both when to look and what to look for. On that day in 2001 I saw a shadow of the sign. It was faint, and even fleeting, but discernible. With the passing of that season I was disappointed, and shaken, because I had been forewarned about trouble that would follow on a very personal level as the Lord brought me through trial. It took a while to recover from the challenges of that season, but what the Lord wrought through it has been invaluable.
I continued to watch on the appointed day each year but, because I had already come to understand about the heptadic Shemitah cycles counting off from the sign of 1991, and knew how the sign would come in the Spring of the third year, I knew the next one that would have legitimate potential would arrive in 2008. What I came to learn in that eagerly anticipated watch season was huge! As the day approached, I was hopeful that the sign would be seen, that the Shemitah appointed for the fulfillment of my hope had finally arrived. On one hand, my anticipation was tempered because I knew I had not yet come have any confidence in having received revelation insight about the Shemitah count. On the other hand, what was unfolding before me that Spring was encouraging.
The state of the world had changed dramatically since April of 2001, with the events of 9-11-01 providing the catalyst. That day, which has been burned into our collective consciousness ever since, marked the 10 year anniversary of the celestial sign of 9-11-91 - precisely.
I had begun to watch another man in another office alongside Bill Clinton; the Pope. (Pope Benedict XVI was born on the 13th day of the 1st month, and baptized on the same day. You just read about a baptism and birth on the 13th day of the 1st month, as the bread was dipped and given to Judas, right?) The Pope was on a rare and historic visit the US at that time, while Bill was campaigning across the country for Hillary, who was in contention to become the Democrat Party's nominee in the run for the office of President. The Pope was in the eastern US, mostly dividing his time between NYC and Washington DC, while BC was on the campaign trail steadily working his way eastward across the country. The Lord had provided these two men as models of the two beasts; the one who would be baptized, and the one who would baptize him.
The Pope was scheduled to conclude his visit on the 13th day of the 1st month. News reports of Bill's location and schedule were pretty sketchy, as they had been back in 2001. The trajectory I was tracking suggested Bill was going to arrive in range of the Pope's location just prior to his scheduled departure, and as promising as that looked, no news of a meeting was forthcoming. In hindsight, the lawless one wasn't revealed, of course, but a model of it was teased, to be sure!
On that key watch day in 2008 my attention was almost entirely focused on John 13, where I was engaging in a deep analysis of the thematic structure. In this rigorous exercise I sought to discover and understand the Author's granular and larger scale thematic equations with an lucid awareness of how there was a prophetic scenario imprinted upon the historical account. While I still scanned the news on occasion for possible reports of Bill meeting with the Pope, there was no question where the Lord was focusing my attention. As that emotionally intense watch day drew to a close, the key revelation insight I knew I had lacked came to me, through that very 13th chapter of John. I knew when the Shemitah of fulfillment would come.
The three Shemitah accountings that were then passing were prophesied in the three instances of Peter denying the Lord. The Lord's people, myself included, were not yet ready. The insight was bittersweet, but the crushing disappointment that came with the acceptance that there were yet seven more years to the finish line was at least offset with the assurance of having acquired the missing link, knowing after so many years of seeking how the Shemitah of fulfillment related to the celestial sign of 1991. As Peter had denied the Lord, so the first three Shemitah from 1991 would pass, because the people were not yet fully prepared for the laying down of their lives. After that, in the 4th Shemitah, the people would be ready as a crop that is ripe for harvesting! The rooster crowing describes the wake up call on resurrection morning as the Lord descends from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God.
I began to look ahead to 2015, still watching faithfully for signs on the appointed day from year to year, with nothing of note being witnessed, according to expectation. But that's not to suggest that nothing has been seen while on watch. It was in 2008 that the Summer Olympics in Beijing were held, and the closing ceremonies were brought very dramatically to my attention. What I learned spurred a long and prosperous season of hacking the public messaging systems of Occult communications and gaining insight into the mechanisms of control wielded by the Illuminati elite and their network of agents.
I've been granted the privilege of having a role in the work of exposing many of the Devil's devices. As one example, a video about Obama's slogan Yes We Can = Thank You Satan went viral, giving attention to the sub layer of messaging on our vocal communications and to the spiritual nature of our world. While that branch of effort hasn't advanced my knowledge about the times and seasons directly, the enhanced depth of inquiry into what the Adversary really knows and how he publicly communicates his secrets has been instrumental in providing confirmation. Another device involves the SRA DID programmer/slave - handler work of trauma-based mind-control programming, which I had witnessed but remained ignorant about until the Lord granted His provision in 2011. I see this work as validating and supplemental to the work of the signs and seasons, of the Bridegroom's labor of love in preparing a Bride for Himself.
Being privy to just how important the specific signs of the Lord's schedule really are makes the sign of this past Maundy Thursday so exciting. While intently focused on a study of the “last supper” I was reminded that the last supper is celebrated on the so-called Christian calendar on Maundy Thursday. I observed with interest how the day I was discovering it actually was Maundy Thursday, and that I was presently immersed in the study of the event it celebrates. With that rather distracting discovery, I broke away from the study to review the day's headline news, immediately finding reports and video of Chelsea Clinton's announcement that she's pregnant with Bill and Hillary's first grandchild. Okay. The Lord has had me watching Bill for many years because he has been modeling the Antichrist to me. Whether he will ultimately be revealed as the lawless one or whether it will be some other man I cannot say, just that he has consistently been the only living model highlighted in my watching. What makes the announcement of his offspring having offspring so notable is that it came on Maundy Thursday, not just when I was in the midst of study about the very event being celebrated (through no plan of my own), but even more notably it was when I was focused specifically on how the fruit bearing aspect was featured, the reproduction of Antichrist flesh and blood. Let that sink in.
And, as it was in 2008 when the key revelation insight about timing came, I was focused intently on the coded prophecies of John 13.
Chelsea's public announcement wasn't made on the 13th day of the 1st month, but it certainly came as a related sign! (When did Chelsea get the news, or her husband Marc, or Bill and Hillary? On the 13th day of the 1st month?)
This is all according to no plan of my own. If you've seen the work on the blog unfolding according to the working of the holy spirit and bringing you into a conviction of a deep and abiding love that a sovereign God has for you and for your neighbor, rejoice. We're about to experience another 9-11, another flood of Noah's day that will usher in the world that has been prepared for timely emergence. Physical food can sustain the physical body, but the bread of life is for our salvation. How's your appetite? Are you getting your fill?

Okay. The Lord has had me watching Bill for many years because he has been modeling the Antichrist to me. Whether he will ultimately be revealed as the lawless one or whether it will be some other man I cannot say, just that he has consistently been the only living model highlighted in my watching. What makes the announcement of his offspring having offspring so notable is that it came on Maundy Thursday, not just when I was in the midst of study about the very event being celebrated (through no plan of my own), but even more notably it was when I was focused specifically on how the fruit bearing aspect was featured, the reproduction of Antichrist flesh and blood. Let that sink in.
And, as it was in 2008 when the key revelation insight about timing came, I was focused intently on the coded prophecies of John 13.
Chelsea's public announcement wasn't made on the 13th day of the 1st month, but it certainly came as a related sign! (When did Chelsea get the news, or her husband Marc, or Bill and Hillary? On the 13th day of the 1st month?)
This is all according to no plan of my own. If you've seen the work on the blog unfolding according to the working of the holy spirit and bringing you into a conviction of a deep and abiding love that a sovereign God has for you and for your neighbor, rejoice. We're about to experience another 9-11, another flood of Noah's day that will usher in the world that has been prepared for timely emergence. Physical food can sustain the physical body, but the bread of life is for our salvation. How's your appetite? Are you getting your fill?

When Will the Lawless One be Revealed? Sixth Installment
Yesterday was the day known as Maundy Thursday to some. Given the subject matter I continue to give my attention, with the 13th day of the 1st month of this year having just past and this Maundy Thursday now passing - in this Pesah, I find the timeliness of this work of the season so notable. “The Last Supper is commemorated by Christians especially on Maundy Thursday. Maundy Thursday (also known as Holy Thursday, Covenant Thursday, Great and Holy Thursday, Sheer Thursday and Thursday of Mysteries) is the Christian feast, or holy day, falling on the Thursday before Easter. ” (Wikipedia)
I read the news on Maundy Thursday that Chelsea Clinton announced she is expecting the first grandchild of Bill and Hillary. “Former – and potentially future – First Daughter Chelsea Clinton made the big reveal on Thursday: She’s pregnant.” (source) It you consider Bill as a potential candidate for the one to be revealed next year on 4/4/15, and note the theme of this study, you'll see why that's rather ominous. Connect the dots. Bill's offspring, announced on the day commemorating the last supper when Judas was revealed. Read on, you'll see what I mean. (By the way, Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky - CC and MM - Code 33.
This installment is part of the work of updating Part 2 of The Sign for the Bride, one of the core studies on theopenscroll.com. You can find the study being updated here: When Will the Lawless One be Revealed? (The Sign for the Bride - Part 2).

Replicating the living bread through eating
John 13's stunning portrayal of revealing the betrayer on the 13th day of the 1st month provides valuable insight into some surprising areas. The physicality of Satan's entering into the lawless one is deeply concealed in the passing of the sop to Judas. It's a subtle but significant revelation about the mutation of a man into a beast. A bodily transformation at the genetic level in his flesh and blood will result from this anointing. In the language of Genesis 1 he will become a notable fruit bearing tree, with seed in it bearing fruit after his kind. Within the church, efforts continue to be made to suppress the truth of this reproductive aspect but the Lord continues to bring the nature of what's coming into the bright light of day. The promise made to the Nachash about his seed in Genesis 3:15 is still quite viable, as that seed itself most certainly is.
Earlier in this study it was noted how the naming of “Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot,” gives attention to the father-son relationship. Let's not miss how that, when you're tracking with the prophetic and esoteric layer, it's positioning in the text is very conspicuous. I had compared this naming to the testimony heard when Jesus came up out of the water of the Jordan, when that same relationship was declared, “You are My beloved Son.” While it's obvious that this kind of relationship is established when someone is conceived and subsequently born of a woman into a body of flesh, there is a less obvious kind of conception and birth implied that has a similar physicality and potential for reproductive transmission.
Recall how the bread Jesus dipped and gave to Judas represented the anti-bread from heaven being baptized and anointed. Judas accepted that morsel, and it's no stretch to infer that he ate it because that's what you do with dipped bread at a meal. This may seem like an insignificant detail but it's actually a key insight that directs us to another context for our instruction about eating the bread from heaven. This was developed in the 6th chapter of John, where Jesus' lengthy discourse provides us with an in-depth lesson about the genuine bread this counterfeit is modeled on.
Here's one of the statements Y'shua made about Himself.
He is the living bread that came down out of heaven. Connect that with His baptism where the dove-like spirit “came down out of heaven” to abide. A voice had been heard to testify, “You are My beloved Son.” I have come to believe that the Father's declaration suggests another conception and birth supplemental to the first had just taken place, as a birth announcement calling attention to the new generative nature that came with the anointing.
I've already addressed the profound revelation about this living bread at length in this study titled, Who is Cain's Father? That study should be considered as a foundation if you really want to understand about this genetic factor. Here's an excerpt from the part about John 6.
“The very profound truth hidden here is that food is to the eater like a father is to a son. Something of food is imparted to the eater, which becomes part of them. Something of a father is imparted to the son, which becomes part of them. Get it? Genetic material is transferred from father to son as nutrients are transferred from food to eater. Read the context again with this understanding. Natural food relates to physical life. The genetic material "food" relates here to eternal life! The natural eating involves putting things in your mouth and chewing them up. The other kind of eating is procreative.”
The true living bread from heaven and the contrasting anti-bread represent kinds of spirit that have life, and this spiritual life is transferred in the eating. Consider how bread is made from grain, which is the seed of the crop. A living bread has an equivalence to fruit, with seed in it. In the upper room, when Y'shua dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, he ate the morsel and Satan entered into him. The anti-bread life of his father was eaten, which means that the life-giving seed transferred from father to son. The un-living anti-bread will have seed in itself, the viable and potent seed of the serpent Nachash, that ancient dragon also known as the Devil and Satan. Through this son, the huios apoleia, the son of destruction, the un-living seed will be sown into the earth to bear much fruit after its kind.
Note from John 6:51 that, “the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” Read the rest of that section in John 6, where eating His flesh and drinking His blood is presented as the requirement for having the eternal life and being raised on the last day. The naming of flesh and blood may seem strictly metaphorical but there's a reason for why that symbolism is used. DNA. Genetics. The life of the flesh is in the blood. Leviticus 17:11. Think beast and mark of the beast. “After the morsel, Satan entered into him.” When the man of lawlessness is anointed with anti-bread life he is infused with the life of his father Satan in a new birth. The promise that the Papal beast will make about this fraudulent savior will be to the effect that, “if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.” I believe it will be around Yom Teruah of 2016, about a year and a half after the beast is revealed, when his mark will be offered to the masses as that un-living bread to be eaten. “The bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” The anti-bread flesh will be eaten as the genetic signature of the beast, as a carrier of the supernatural anointing, reproduces through the mark of the beast, and that seed of un-life and un-death will assure his spawn a season in the lake of fire, which is the second death. (Revelation 20:14)
If you've been attentive to the blog you may note how this is essentially the same message being broadcast through the symbolic performance of ritual magick in public media. In the language of the ancient alter identities, Apollo, son of Zeus, is born to Leto under the phoenix palm. Horus is born from the union of Osiris and Isis. Osiris will resurrect into Horus and emerge triumphantly from the underworld Duat. The Eye of Horus will transform mankind and He will become thereby the manifest capstone of the pyramid, head of his kingdom. Paint that picture with any color palette you want, speak it in any language, it's the same result.
When you understand that there is an underlying prophetic focus on the supernatural seed, that's really very conspicuous.
“Judas,” which, again, is the Greek form of the Hebrew “Judah,” is named in Genesis 29. In this single verse where the namesake of Judas is given his name, the reproductive focus could hardly be more evident!
Even on Judah's father's deathbed, when Jacob brought forth the coded prophetic revelation of the celestial sign of 1991, the message about Judah features reproductive language.
The straightforward reference to those who would bow down to Judah would be “your brothers,” like he said when identifying who would praise him. Why did he say, “your father's sons”? Was Jacob just trying to be poetic to add some flair to the occasion? No. I think we're learning why.
Earlier, when I interpreted the naming of “to praise of hearing from cities” in John 13:26 I made the connection to Zion, the heavenly city, discussing the possibility that the one being sought will materialize from beyond as a temple and throne.
Again, through even this remote yet relevant connection, the reproductive focus is evident.
If the revealing of the lawless one has no implicit reproductive aspect, what I wrote about the Olympic Ceremony Symbolism witnessed in 2008 is wrong, along with most everything else I've written since then. Has the Devil based his entire strategy on a mistaken notion? I read the Bible. I look around at the world, which lies in the power of evil, and am convinced the plan is reproductive. What began in the Garden of Eden has not yet been brought to a conclusion. The seed of the serpent is viable for yet a little while longer.

Jesus then answered, “That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” ~ John 13:26-27

Paint that picture with any color palette you want, speak it in any language, it's the same result.
20 Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples. 21 As they were eating, He said, “Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me.” 22 Being deeply grieved, they each one began to say to Him, “Surely not I, Lord?” 23 And He answered, “He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.” 25 And Judas, who was betraying Him, said, “Surely it is not I, Rabbi?” Jesus said to him, “You have said it yourself.” ~ Matthew 26:20-25
When you understand that there is an underlying prophetic focus on the supernatural seed, that's really very conspicuous.
“Judas,” which, again, is the Greek form of the Hebrew “Judah,” is named in Genesis 29. In this single verse where the namesake of Judas is given his name, the reproductive focus could hardly be more evident!
And she conceived again and bore a son and said, "This time I will praise the LORD." Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing. ~ Genesis 29:35
Even on Judah's father's deathbed, when Jacob brought forth the coded prophetic revelation of the celestial sign of 1991, the message about Judah features reproductive language.
Judah, your brothers shall praise you; Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; Your father’s sons shall bow down to you. ~ Genesis 49:8
The straightforward reference to those who would bow down to Judah would be “your brothers,” like he said when identifying who would praise him. Why did he say, “your father's sons”? Was Jacob just trying to be poetic to add some flair to the occasion? No. I think we're learning why.

25 Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother. 27 For it is written,
'Rejoice, barren woman who does not bear;
Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor;
For more numerous are the children of the desolate
Than of the one who has a husband.' ~ Galatians 4:25-27

When Will the Lawless One be Revealed? Fifth Installment
This installment is part of the work of updating Part 2 of The Sign for the Bride, one of the core studies on theopenscroll.com. You can find the study being updated here: When Will the Lawless One be Revealed? (The Sign for the Bride - Part 2).
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +
The dramatic revealing of the lawless one will create a crisis that makes the matter of identifying the Messiah urgent and unavoidable for all people everywhere. When the natural olive branch that will first come to acceptance finds themselves thrust into this critical situation, their attention will be brought fully to bear upon the issue that is paramount. The newly revealed man's claim to the Messianic throne will be brought forth with an irresistible force of conviction and a wealth of irrefutable evidence, and this fraud will be cloaked with such impenetrable supernatural delusion that only a singular small wild olive branch will be immune to the lie. But everything rides on this situation, and the very precious natural branch, numbering 144,000 members in total, will have been made ready for this moment. They will know the God of their fathers well, the I AM, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Here's the thing. One key element will have been withheld from them. His alter identity, which the small wild olive branch knows. Still awake and sober, with plenty of oil and their lamps trimmed to burn most brightly, these virgins will be shining the light on the hoax, pouring out their lives as a witness in the midst of clamoring opposition and severe persecution. Their willingness to be sacrificed in the bearing of this testimony attended by a demonstration of an unparalleled depth of insight, faith, hope and love will be a beacon of bright light piercing the blackest darkness of that day. They will have the attention of the natural branch, who will be able to identify with that little wild olive branch because of their plight, having stood against opposition and endured persecution. The natural branch will be so impressed with the evident relationship the wild branch has with their Lord Y'shua and Christ that they will be provoked to jealousy - and there's the hook. This jealousy. As they identify with the wild branch they will identify with their Y'shua and recognize Him as their own! Baruch haba B'Shem Adonai!
Paul knew how this was going to happen. He tipped us off in when he cryptically revealed how jealousy would be the lever of operative influence.
Paul ultimately gains the honor of moving his fellow countrymen to jealousy. His ministry to the wild branches as their Apostle will provide for this motive force to become manifest in that critical season when the first ripe crop is readied for harvest.
The natural branch will know that the wild branch belongs to the natural Olive tree and is nourished by the root. They will receive their testimony that the highly exalted man who was just revealed and received by all the Rabbis, Catholics, Protestants, Messianics, Wiccans, practicers of Olympism, Muslims, Buddhists, agnostics, atheists and Luciferians alike, is an impostor. “Pope-a-dope. He's no High Priest!” Through the process of first revealing anti-baptism, Y'shua is revealed as the genuine! Bankers know that a counterfeit is identified through becoming intimately acquainted with the genuine. There is wisdom in that. Y'shua haMashiach will be recognized and accepted, who will be known to sit on the highest throne with all authority! In this epiphany wrought in the most carefully prepared crucible, the natural olive branch will perceive the sign as a brilliant object lesson that is modeled on the actual past and not some alternate version that will have been given a very clever spin.
This is why, during the meal in the upper room, Peter asked the disciple whom Jesus loved, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.” Peter represents that small wild olive branch, and “the disciple whom Jesus loved” represents that natural branch. The reason why Peter poses the key question to that disciple is because the time comes for this natural branch to discover the answer for themselves. Peter didn't ask the Lord directly because the wild olive branch will prompt the natural branch to make this inquiry in a most engaging manner. This engagement is a mission-critical operation. How does the natural branch disciple respond to Peter's challenging prompt? He doesn't dismiss Peter with an admission that he doesn't have a clue. He doesn't offer a guess. What he does do is really a very big deal. He asks Jesus, directly, even addressing Him as “Lord.” Think about it. And the answer is then provided through the symbolic demonstration of the baptism that reveals.
When we consider the exact expression used to make reference to this natural branch, hon egapa ho Iesous, we find one other occurrence in the biblical text, and this makes a most pertinent connection to John 21's parallel account.
The other occurrence is in the context of an equally astounding dramatic example!
At Peter's challenge to identify who will betray Jesus at the meal, this disciple poses the question to Jesus: “Lord, who is it?” Then the baptism that reveals unfolds in response to the inquiry, with the dipped sop and its recipient in view, certainly, but there is the agent performing the demonstration who is responsible for the activity, the Lord Himself. Subsequent to that, in recognizing the Lord Himself this disciple gives the report back to Peter. “It is the Lord.” Mystery solved! That's the deeper answer beyond the more immediate answer! When they properly identify the lawless one, in connection with that insight, the “legal one” who represents the fulfillment of the law.
This is the story behind Roman's 11's first prune and graft operation, where “their acceptance” means “life from the dead.” This explains why the revealing of the lawless one is the sign that is linked directly to the gathering to the Lord! It's like the catalyst for the trigger. When that natural branch clearly identifies this Judas and discerns which messianic contender is fake and which one is real, the criteria for the harvest of that wild branch is met.
Each of the harvests in sequence will follow this pattern, and despite the latter day hijacking attempt, this is not a “Christians only” event owned by banner flying pre-trib rapture-ites. The first harvest isn't for the reaping of every last crop in the field but for that which is first ripe to be gathered in. This Judas is betrayed as the betrayer in connection with the first of three pilgrimage and harvest festivals on the Lord's holy day schedule of appointments. Following the supper in the upper room, the Lord and his disciples cross over to the Mount of Olives and into the Garden of Gethsemane where they are selectively separated into three companies. This was revealed to me as a demonstration of separation by resurrection, sequenced according to the prophetic holy day calendar but where the first shall be last. As with the harvesting of crops in sequence, the first natural branch to be grafted back in to the Olive Root is not every last natural branch but just that which is appointed for this season, a cross-section sample of 12,000 from each tribe as a firstfruits.
So, how does this sequencing fit with the popular theory that the Spring Feasts were already fulfilled at Jesus' first advent and that the Fall Feasts will be fulfilled at His second coming? It doesn't. The blind lead the blind, and they both fall into the ditch. If you're still walking with them and you're no longer blind, it's time to turn away or shortly share their fate.

More to follow, Lord willing.

The dramatic revealing of the lawless one will create a crisis that makes the matter of identifying the Messiah urgent and unavoidable for all people everywhere. When the natural olive branch that will first come to acceptance finds themselves thrust into this critical situation, their attention will be brought fully to bear upon the issue that is paramount.

37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. 38 Behold, your house is being left to you desolate! 39 For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” ~ Matthew 23:37-39
Paul knew how this was going to happen. He tipped us off in when he cryptically revealed how jealousy would be the lever of operative influence.
13 But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 14 if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them. ~ Romans 11:13-14
Paul ultimately gains the honor of moving his fellow countrymen to jealousy. His ministry to the wild branches as their Apostle will provide for this motive force to become manifest in that critical season when the first ripe crop is readied for harvest.

Peter didn't ask the Lord directly because the wild olive branch will prompt the natural branch to make this inquiry in a most engaging manner. This engagement is a mission-critical operation. How does the natural branch disciple respond to Peter's challenging prompt? He doesn't dismiss Peter with an admission that he doesn't have a clue. He doesn't offer a guess. What he does do is really a very big deal. He asks Jesus, directly, even addressing Him as “Lord.” Think about it. And the answer is then provided through the symbolic demonstration of the baptism that reveals.
When we consider the exact expression used to make reference to this natural branch, hon egapa ho Iesous, we find one other occurrence in the biblical text, and this makes a most pertinent connection to John 21's parallel account.
23 There was reclining on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.” 25 He, leaning back thus on Jesus’ bosom, said to Him, “Lord, who is it?” ~ John 13:23-25
The other occurrence is in the context of an equally astounding dramatic example!
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea. ~ John 21:7
At Peter's challenge to identify who will betray Jesus at the meal, this disciple poses the question to Jesus: “Lord, who is it?” Then the baptism that reveals unfolds in response to the inquiry, with the dipped sop and its recipient in view, certainly, but there is the agent performing the demonstration who is responsible for the activity, the Lord Himself. Subsequent to that, in recognizing the Lord Himself this disciple gives the report back to Peter. “It is the Lord.” Mystery solved! That's the deeper answer beyond the more immediate answer! When they properly identify the lawless one, in connection with that insight, the “legal one” who represents the fulfillment of the law.
This is the story behind Roman's 11's first prune and graft operation, where “their acceptance” means “life from the dead.” This explains why the revealing of the lawless one is the sign that is linked directly to the gathering to the Lord! It's like the catalyst for the trigger. When that natural branch clearly identifies this Judas and discerns which messianic contender is fake and which one is real, the criteria for the harvest of that wild branch is met.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. ~ 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Each of the harvests in sequence will follow this pattern, and despite the latter day hijacking attempt, this is not a “Christians only” event owned by banner flying pre-trib rapture-ites. The first harvest isn't for the reaping of every last crop in the field but for that which is first ripe to be gathered in. This Judas is betrayed as the betrayer in connection with the first of three pilgrimage and harvest festivals on the Lord's holy day schedule of appointments. Following the supper in the upper room, the Lord and his disciples cross over to the Mount of Olives and into the Garden of Gethsemane where they are selectively separated into three companies. This was revealed to me as a demonstration of separation by resurrection, sequenced according to the prophetic holy day calendar but where the first shall be last. As with the harvesting of crops in sequence, the first natural branch to be grafted back in to the Olive Root is not every last natural branch but just that which is appointed for this season, a cross-section sample of 12,000 from each tribe as a firstfruits.
So, how does this sequencing fit with the popular theory that the Spring Feasts were already fulfilled at Jesus' first advent and that the Fall Feasts will be fulfilled at His second coming? It doesn't. The blind lead the blind, and they both fall into the ditch. If you're still walking with them and you're no longer blind, it's time to turn away or shortly share their fate.

When Will the Lawless One be Revealed? Fourth Installment
We're very near to the first blood moon of the tetrad. Signs of a flash point for big trouble are in the news, and these are more than just rumblings of distant thunder. While there's much that could be said about all that, what is most urgent and necessary for me is to continue this series of installments, because this 'food service operation' is nearly complete.
This installment is part of the work of updating Part 2 of The Sign for the Bride, one of the core studies on theopenscroll.com. You can find the study being updated here: When Will the Lawless One be Revealed? (The Sign for the Bride - Part 2.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Of the biblical scenarios that picture the signal event of 2 Thessalonians 2, this account where Jesus dips the bread and gives it to Judas is a motherload of riches! It's the demonstration of the baptism and anointing with pneuma antichristos, and there are many other key aspects of the revealing of the lawless one featured in even more subtle ways. In the naming of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, we noted an impression of a counterfeiting of the voice that came out of heaven praising the son, making the observation that this son has the contrasting heritage of Satan. In that naming we also noted a hint of the materializing throne of Zion. I'm about to give attention to one of the most important reasons for the dramatic revealing of the lawless one, perhaps even the single most important reason. I'm also going to highlight the heritage aspect, the genetic or reproductive elements. Before I go any further, though, the matter of timing should be visited due to conflicting interpretations that are not easily resolved.
When was the “last supper”?
Arguments can be made that there are contradictions in the Bible, and while most folks see that suggestion as an assault on the integrity of the Bible and a questioning of divine authorship, that's not necessarily what's at stake. Efforts made to harmonize Gospel accounts often involve some sleight-of-hand. Instead of insisting that there are no contradictions in the Bible and blindly setting out to force what won't fit in defence of what does not require our help to defend, it is better to acknowledge that there actually are contradictions and seek to understand why.
I trust that the scriptures have been provided and maintained perfectly by a sovereign God who is capable of communicating effectively with us. I've learned that the biblical text conveys several layers of meaning at once that are woven together like a tapestry. Sometimes an element is inconsistent with another because it's applicable to one layer but not to another. These points of contradiction are not meant to be reconciled but to convey truth. A perspective that sees only a single layer is not mature and neither is it correct. I've often heard it claimed that God just wants to make the truth plain to everyone. Liars. The Lord conceals and reveals by many means. Is the Author allowed to take such liberties with the written Word? A mature student with a seeing eye and a hearing ear is comfortable answering in the affirmative. When it comes to the records of Y'shua's final week in his earthly body, we're provided with options regarding the schedule of events. There's no other honest way to see it.
Much has been written about the timing of the last supper and whether or not it's the seder called the Passover meal. By some accounts, sure, that interpretation is hard to deny. On the other hand, it's not, because John's Gospel is consistent with the presentation of Jesus as the Paschal lamb of God, sacrificed for us. The prophetic holy day Pesah established according to Exodus 12 dictates that the sacrificial lamb must be slain on the 14th. Then, the sacrifice must be prepared and eaten in what is called the Passover meal, which is done early on the 15th day of the 1st month. We note from the following verse how that, even after our Lord's arrest, those who concerned themselves with the appearance of strictly observing the Mosaic Law had not yet eaten the feast.
Tracking the activity and doing the math, the Pesah meal followed 2 days after “the last supper,” at the time when Y'suha was already dead, sacrificed as the Lamb of God. His blood must be on the door frame and His body eaten as the main course, according to the essential legal work of substitution taking place in the spiritual realm. When Judas went out from the feast at Jesus' command, it was night, according to John 13:30. The 13th day of the 1st month had begun at sunset, which was perhaps the cue for what transpired in the account of verses 18-30. This is one of the options granted us for the schedule of this event, and this is where the valuable message of the timing of the baptism revealing the lawless one is concealed and revealed.
With the essential particular of timing for the sign established (“so that in his time he will be revealed” - 2 Thes. 2:6), I'm going to show how John 13 illustrates what is probably the most important reason for the dramatic revealing of the lawless one, which is the sign that will indicate that the harvests of the age will subsequently follow in sequence!
“Tell us who it is”
When Jesus dips the bread and gives it to Judas to identify His betrayer, this symbolic action takes place in the midst of intrigue.
The disciples were curious. It's a bit of a twist on the who-done-it genre. It's a segue into the party game of Charades, but the twist here is that it's all deadly serious and entirely real, in real time and in the future. If Jesus knows who is going to betray Him, why doesn't He just say who He means? If He's pausing to build drama and intrigue it seems to be working! If Simon Peter has a question to ask, why doesn't he simply direct it to Jesus? Why involve another mystery disciple in the cryptic reference of verse 23 by directing his question to him? Answers have been provided in this study, The Twenty-First Chapter of John. While I recommend becoming very familiar with that work, here's a survey of the essentials.
You have to have the big picture in view as context. The sign for the Bride is relative to the gathering in to the barns of the Lord of the Harvest. Consider the harvest allegory. When it comes to each harvest of the age, the triggering action or catalyst involves a certain kind of interaction between the branches of the natural olive tree, as described in Romans 11. (What Will Their Acceptance be but Life from the Dead?) The natural branches of this tree are Israel and the wild are not. Both kinds may be broken off and grafted in, and this breaking off and grafting in is the seasonal work of The Farmer as he brings His tree to full fruit-bearing health and maturity at the end of the age. The crops are taken in three harvests in sequence, and with each there is pruning and grafting that is managed strictly according to the season appointed. Now, the signal that it's time to harvest requires the kind of interaction that results in a natural branch recognizing the identity of the one genuine Olive Root, that one whom their fathers had rejected.
“Their acceptance” describes when a natural branch comes by faith to accept the one they had formerly rejected, and “life from the dead” describes a literal resurrection event, which is a harvest. What will their acceptance be but life from the dead? What is concealed and revealed in that expression is how the catalyst or trigger for a resurrection is the coming of a natural branch to accept Y'shua as their Messiah.
This is beyond the matter of individuals because it's a branch grafting operation, a corporate determination. The triggering instances of corporate acceptance come in succession at the times appointed for harvest. It's strictly ordered, elegant and simple. And, the activity is well hidden from most.

Sign Watch and Status Report 2014, What I Didn't See and What I Do See
I have been watching to see if the lawless one would be revealed on the appointed day of this year, 2014. I haven't seen it. As expected. It's not due until 2015, and that world will be significantly different from this one because change is at hand. Signs of this change seem to be everywhere, but to many it seems to still have the look of just another Palm Sunday in a busy world. What did you see on your watch?
What the continued absence of the sign means is that the gathering to the Lord has not yet come to pass, because the season of harvesting follows after the lawless one has been revealed. See The Sign for the Bride for details.
What I have seen in this late hour has been expected, because the Lord prepared me, and Aaron with me. It has now become noticeably harder for people to discern the truth as the light of this age has faded into twilight. Surely there is a famine in the land of hearing the word of truth. Many saints are now being exposed as having built their foundations upon sand, and their faith is failing. In contrast, a few are being strengthened. This widening polarity is the result of judgment. What judgment looks like is that folks get what they deserve, good for good and bad for bad, and this on a deeper level than what manifests in carnal superficiality.
Let's give our attention to the word addressed to the Hebrews, for their strengthening.
The Lord is being very generous with some of us who are now receiving such remarkable favor, while being very tightly constrained. In contrast, for so many now, faith is failing, and they are quite unaware of their changing condition as they are being drawn away from the love of the truth by the deceitfulness of sin that hardens the heart. The word of life in this hard season is for most a very difficult word to hear, but it is most necessary.
I call the principle described in the following verse the “Hear-Do Cycle.” Hearing and obedience are tied together in the matter of “how you listen.” In this season where the discernment of so many has fallen off beyond critical levels, this insight is most precious.
When you hear the word of the Lord, if you act accordingly with humility, faith and obedience, which is love, you are rewarded with an ear that hears what the Lord is saying even better still. In contrast, if you neglect to act in that manner your hearing becomes less acute. When your response is rewarded by being given more acute hearing, you perceive it, and it's cause for rejoicing. In contrast, the incremental loss of hearing is imperceptible. One response thus trends one way and the other response trends in the opposite direction. This is the dynamic behind the diverging trajectories of the saints in this season of increasing trial.
When Aaron has received a word from the Lord and we have been faithful to publish it to this blog, we have noted how extreme the requirements of these words are, and how serious the consequences for those of us who dismiss them, and it is duly noted that Aaron and myself are not exempt. The prophecy, preaching and the teaching that has been done on The Open Scroll has been most particularly for the preparation of a small people, few in number and humble in spirit. While much larger numbers have gained some benefit from the vast content I've been so blessed to produce, with the very much appreciated help of others like Aaron, the best of it, the real treasure, is for the most rare among us.
I'm well aware of how offensive my making of this observation is to some. Should I care? Perhaps a better question to ask is what it is that I should care more about. The Lord cares for us, not whether we take offense at reproof and correction but whether we receive it, and respond to His love in kind.
In this late hour in the close of this age, we find ourselves privileged to have the most excellent opportunities open before us. Let's pray for each other, to enter in to the Lord's provision in the hour of need and to be found worthy of Him at His coming for His Bride.

Let's give our attention to the word addressed to the Hebrews, for their strengthening.
2:1 For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it. 2 For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty, 3 how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard, 4 God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.
...
3:5 Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; 6 but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.
7 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,
“Today if you hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts as when they provoked Me,
As in the day of trial in the wilderness,
9 Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me,
And saw My works for forty years.
10 “Therefore I was angry with this generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they did not know My ways’;
11 As I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’”
The Peril of Unbelief
12 Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. 13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, 15 while it is said,
“Today if you hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked Me.”
16 For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief. ~ Hebrews 2:1-4, 3:5-19

When Will the Lawless One be Revealed? Third Installment
This installment is part of the work of updating Part 2 of The Sign for the Bride, one of the core studies on theopenscroll.com. You can find the study being updated here: When Will the Lawless One be Revealed? (The Sign for the Bride - Part 2.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +
When the true bread from heaven was dipped in the Jordan there were both visible and audible components of the testimony. The one who baptized Jesus claimed it was what he saw that revealed the identity of the Son of God but he didn't mention what was heard. I believe there's a pattern here that is meant for us. It's rather deep but it's worth the effort to mine more deeply for the treasure buried within.
The Son was directly addressed but there's no reason to assume that He was the only one who heard it. When the modeling of the anti-baptism was being done with Judas in the upper room, if there was such a voice heard calling out through an opened portal we don't know because it isn't part of the record, and, while I doubt there was such a phenomenon on that occasion, there is a hint of something in that record that invites our close attention. Notice how the betrayer is given an expanded identification in the narrative where he receives the morsel and Satan enters into him.
“to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.” In that descriptive labeling there is the same sense of the Father's praise of His Son that was heard during the dipping of the true bread from heaven. I'll be explaining how that is, and why it matters is because, when the lawless one is revealed it will be with an audio component that supplements the visuals of the sign, and with similar meaning that provides those of us who seek it out with some deeper insight.
Let's first make note of how “to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot” gives attention to the father-son relationship. That's obvious, right? What's less obvious is the layer of meaning behind the names. According to the Interlinear, a literal rendering of Iouda Simonos Iskariotou is, “to Judas of Simon Iscariot.” It's like Judas Iscariot has received a middle name or descriptive title. “Judas” and “Judah” means “praise.” The name “Simon” is Greek for “Simeon,” which means “hearing.” “Iscariot” means “from cities.” It follows that, “to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot” becomes: “to praise of hearing from cities.” Here's an “amplified” version from John 13. “So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it 'to praise of hearing from cities.' After the morsel, Satan then entered into him.” Now we may consider the overlay of both of these layers of meaning in the immediate context of the antichrist baptism and anointing.
According to Luke 3:22, “a voice came out of heaven, 'You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.'” This announcement first gives attention to the father-son relationship. Likewise, the naming of “Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.” The definition of the word, “praise,” is, “expression of approval, commendation, or admiration.” That word perfectly describes what was heard coming out of heaven, and, again, “Judas” means “praise.” This observation should have our full attention!
What is meant by Simonos Iskariotou - of hearing from cities? Both of these Greek words are genitive masculine singular nouns and with Iouda being dative masculine singular (“to Judas”), this speaks to me about one who is the recipient of praise, and that the praise is of hearing, which is to say, heard. There's an audible component of the testimony. This speaks to me also of the anointing, and the exaltation and exultation of the recipient's enhancement of perception, displaying divine illumination according to the embodiment of the opened eye of Horus, indeed, as the very incarnation of Horus.
Earlier, I explored the meaning of “from cities,” connecting Judas to Cain and Nimrod, and to Babel and Babylon. There is more to that link than what is merely historical and referential. The expanded identification of Judas in the immediate context of the anointing speaks to me of the praise pouring forth from heavenly cities and perhaps through time itself. I believe there is a heavenly city of Zion that is sought by the worshipers of Apollo and Zeus, which I have witnessed in the symbolism dramatized in numerous Occult models. I believe their objective is to bring this anti-Zion into manifestation, through a stargate by way of sympathetic magick and the combination of ancient and new technologies, and that success will be granted as the lawless one is revealed. When Satan enters into him, as with Judas before him, I expect the occupants of the city will be bringing forth an audible testimony in praise of their hero, newly born from above (or below). If a temple of God with a throne happens to suddenly materialize, don't be surprised.
More to follow, Lord willing.

When the true bread from heaven was dipped in the Jordan there were both visible and audible components of the testimony. The one who baptized Jesus claimed it was what he saw that revealed the identity of the Son of God but he didn't mention what was heard. I believe there's a pattern here that is meant for us. It's rather deep but it's worth the effort to mine more deeply for the treasure buried within.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of heaven, “You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.” ~ Luke 3:21-22
The Son was directly addressed but there's no reason to assume that He was the only one who heard it. When the modeling of the anti-baptism was being done with Judas in the upper room, if there was such a voice heard calling out through an opened portal we don't know because it isn't part of the record, and, while I doubt there was such a phenomenon on that occasion, there is a hint of something in that record that invites our close attention. Notice how the betrayer is given an expanded identification in the narrative where he receives the morsel and Satan enters into him.
Jesus then answered, “That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” ~ John 13:26-27

John 13 - Preparing for the Rooster to Crow
After reviewing what I posted yesterday I realized that the part of the study under revision where I started getting into John 13 wasn't very comprehensible. I apologize for being too hasty to publish it. It's been updated, so if you read an email version or read what I had prior to about 12:30 Eastern today (Friday the 11th), you may want to give it another reading, at least the part about Judas is Betrayed.
I don't have the next section ready to publish yet, but until then, there's plenty to learn from this interactive exhibit of John 13. This effort may help you while on watch for the sign this year (April 12-13, sunset to sunset), and if you're still around for the next, to find yourself experiencing it in reality, knowing what you're witnessing! If you're trusting in me or someone else to do your watching for you, you have missed the point of the exercise.
I begin to explain in Installment Two how John 13 is a complement to 2 Thessalonians 2, with Jesus providing an amazing demonstration of the baptism and anointing that reveals the lawless one. If you enjoyed the interactive exhibit of 2 Thessalonians 2 you should enjoy exploring this one of John 13. While I was on watch for the sign on the 13th day of the 1st month in 2008, I was very focused on working out this structure. The major insight into the pattern of the Shemitah count came at the end of that fruitful effort and the end of that very memorable day.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.” It was a crushing insight. I understood that the season to follow would be frought with hardship as the Lord made His people ready. In another couple days, as I post this, 6 years will have passed since that revelation, with 1 more to go. What an incredibly difficult and yet richly rewarding season it has been, and what a year this will be as the Lord brings His precious saints through suffering to glory!
Here's a static image of that interactive exhibit of John 13's thematic patterns, with the highlighting illustrating two matching elements at the beginning and end of the chapter.
* Top Tips: When you explore John 13 - An interactive presentation of its thematic structure, you might find that the large number of lines makes this so tall that you're not able to see it all without scrolling up and down. Part of this can't be explored very well if you have to scroll because some paired elements are so far apart. Verse 1 matches to verses 33-38, and there's more detail in the symmetry of those elements that you'll miss. You can explore most of it with no problem, but to get the full benefit you'll want to see it all onscreen at once. Experiment with zooming out (a feature in your browser display settings) until it all fits. The look will be jumbled when you resize, but that can be easily fixed if you refresh the page. If that makes it too small to read, open another tab or window with a normal size version and refer to that.

When Will the Lawless One be Revealed? Second Installment
In a few days, it will once more be the 13th day of the 1st month. Since learning about the sign that is the subject of my recent blogging, watching for the sign has been a special annual activity. Based upon what I've seen while on watch, and from what I've learned about the times and seasons, I don't expect the lawless one to be revealed until next year, most probably on 4/4/15. (My uncertainty is only due to the fact that the determination of the day that begins the month is subject to the observation of the new moon.) Even though I don't expect to see the lawless one revealed yet, I still keep watch on the annual day to see what I see of what the Lord may reveal. Because there was a signal noted on the 13th day of the first month that is January of this year, I suspect the nearness to the actual sign may be cause for another alert. While watching during the two Shemitah cycles previous to this one, signs were noted in the corresponding position, as I've documented. Both times, in 2001 and 2008, Bill Clinton was modeling the lawless one. In 2008, Pope Benedict XVI was also involved. It will be interesting to see if there's some further prefiguring to be observed as we've got only a single year remaining in the countdown.
This second installment is part of the work of updating Part 2. If you haven't been following this blog closely, I recommending reading Part 1 of The Sign for the Bride, one of the core studies on theopenscroll.com, then the first installment of When Will the Lawless One be Revealed? (The Sign for the Bride - Part 2).

Judas Iscariot
When Jesus Barabbas was released, that poignant foreshadowing of the revealing of the lawless one followed shortly after two other examples which had come earlier in the day. These both involve Judas Iscariot, the disciple who betrayed Jesus. The account of Barabbas provides an important sketch of the revealing, and together with the accounts featuring Judas, we learn even much more about that day's events. The first prophetic modeling unfolds as the day began in an upper room at the scene of what's called the last supper. The second unfolds in the garden of Gethsemane at the scene of the arrest. The primary feature of these dramatic models is the revealing of identity, and they both occur on that 13th day of the 1st month.
Judas and the lawless one are the only two characters referred to in the Bible as being “doomed to destruction” or, huios apoleia, in the Greek. This connects these two characters and leads us to seek out the reasons for the connection.
To put it simply, Judas is a type of the Antichrist. The name “Judas” is the Greek form of “Judah.” The royal and messianic bloodline of Israel stems from Judah. The true Messiah is the King of the Jews and the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
This disciple Judas bears the name representing the heritage and ruling authority of the messianic King of the Jews. So it is that the Judas-to-come will be recognized as having that lineage and the legal right to the throne that attends it. The claim to that title “King of the Jews” is a matter of huge significance, as seen in the reaction to Jesus' claim in all four gospels' accounts.
Judas is further identified as “Iscariot,” which means, “from Kerioth.” “Kerioth” means “cities.” Judas Iscariot was not from that good city that Abraham looked to whose builder and maker is God, however. Judas “from cities” is identified thereby with the heritage of Cain, the builder of the first city. (Genesis 4:17). That's an important link, to be sure! Cain was literally a Barabbas as the “son of the father” sired by the Nachash in the Garden of Eden. (Who is Cain's Father?)
Like Cain, Nimrod is a widely recognized type of the antichrist and city builder. (Genesis chapter 10. See Nimrod and this Nimrod) Nimrod is so strongly identified with cities that his name is found under the definition of “city” in Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. He built a city with the Tower of Babel, and more cities after the confusion of tongues at Babel. He is widely considered to be the first world dictator, and the first-listed center of Nimrod's kingdom was Babel or Babylon. Mystery Babylon the Great is “the great city, Babylon, the strong city” in Revelation 18:10. Nimrod also built Nineveh, the capitol of Assyria. He is associated with "The Assyrian" type of Antichrist in Micah 5:6.
The coming Judas “from cities” will be like Cain and Nimrod. The name “Nimrod” means “he will rebel.” The number thirteen is associated with rebellion, the numbering of the day of this Judas-Cain-Nimrod composite's revealing.
With that background as a foundation, let's consider the first of the two signal events involving Judas and Jesus.
Judas is Betrayed
Judas was revealed as the one who would betray Jesus at what is known as the last supper. If you've got any doubts about whether baptism is at the center of the activity that reveals the lawless one, this should dispel them!
I had often wondered why Jesus didn't just come out and openly declare that Judas was the betrayer, or simply point to him. Why all the drama, why dip the bread and hand it to Judas as a signal? Until you understand 2 Thessalonians 2 and recognize this scene as a prophetic demonstration, it's really quite a puzzle. By dipping the bread He demonstrated a baptism, the means of revealing identity. He did this to instruct us, you and I, about how it would be in the day appointed for the other huios apoleia.
The Greek word translated “dipping” in verse 26 is bapto. That's “baptism,” which literally means “dipping.” Such a dipping is for the purpose of revealing, as you should recall from Part 1. This symbolic act is rich with messianic meaning because bread was used as a sop. John 6:35 records Jesus' declaration that He Himself is the true bread from heaven.When the true bread from heaven was dipped in the Jordan, that was the means through which He was revealed. In the upper room, Jesus dipped the bread to demonstrate the baptism of the anti-bread from heaven. When He gave the sop to Judas, Judas was revealed! According to verse 27, “After the morsel, Satan then entered into him.”
The morsel or sop was a visual component representing pneuma antichristos, the anti-anointing. Compare the sop conveyed to Judas to what was conveyed to Jesus as a counterfeit compares to the genuine.
The visual component was a sign to His baptizer, the key to the revealing.
According to this pattern, we can be assured that when the lawless one is revealed there will be a visual component that will be conveyed and witnessed to personally identify him at a baptism. Some will recognize this transmission of the anti-anointing - anti-bread - unholy spirit as the transit of Horus through the Silver Gate.
When you recognize this scene in the upper room as a demonstration of how it will be in the day appointed for the revealing of the other huios apoleia, it becomes so obvious how baptism and anointing really is the subject of 2 Thessalonians 2. What a blessing to have eyes that see and ears that hear! If you want to know who has the authority in matters of restraining and releasing and over the critical timing of the action, consider who breaks off the morsel from the loaf, dips it, passes it to Judas and then gives the command: “What you do, do quickly.”

Judas and the lawless one are the only two characters referred to in the Bible as being “doomed to destruction” or, huios apoleia, in the Greek. This connects these two characters and leads us to seek out the reasons for the connection.
“While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled. ~ John 17:12
Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:3
To put it simply, Judas is a type of the Antichrist. The name “Judas” is the Greek form of “Judah.” The royal and messianic bloodline of Israel stems from Judah. The true Messiah is the King of the Jews and the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.” ~ Matthew 27:11
and one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals.” ~ Revelation 5:5
This disciple Judas bears the name representing the heritage and ruling authority of the messianic King of the Jews. So it is that the Judas-to-come will be recognized as having that lineage and the legal right to the throne that attends it.

Judas is Betrayed
Judas was revealed as the one who would betray Jesus at what is known as the last supper. If you've got any doubts about whether baptism is at the center of the activity that reveals the lawless one, this should dispel them!
18 I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’ 19 From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He. 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.” 21 When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me.” 22 The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking. 23 There was reclining on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.” 25 He, leaning back thus on Jesus’ bosom, said to Him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus then answered, “That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” 28 Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him. 29 For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we have need of for the feast”; or else, that he should give something to the poor. 30 So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and it was night. ~ John 13:18-30
I had often wondered why Jesus didn't just come out and openly declare that Judas was the betrayer, or simply point to him. Why all the drama, why dip the bread and hand it to Judas as a signal? Until you understand 2 Thessalonians 2 and recognize this scene as a prophetic demonstration, it's really quite a puzzle.

According to verse 27, “After the morsel, Satan then entered into him.”
The morsel or sop was a visual component representing pneuma antichristos, the anti-anointing. Compare the sop conveyed to Judas to what was conveyed to Jesus as a counterfeit compares to the genuine.
After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, ~ Matthew 3:16
The visual component was a sign to His baptizer, the key to the revealing.
32 John testified saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. 33 I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’ 34 I myself have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God. ~ John 1:32-34
According to this pattern, we can be assured that when the lawless one is revealed there will be a visual component that will be conveyed and witnessed to personally identify him at a baptism. Some will recognize this transmission of the anti-anointing - anti-bread - unholy spirit as the transit of Horus through the Silver Gate.
When you recognize this scene in the upper room as a demonstration of how it will be in the day appointed for the revealing of the other huios apoleia, it becomes so obvious how baptism and anointing really is the subject of 2 Thessalonians 2. What a blessing to have eyes that see and ears that hear!
