Holy Spirit message interpreted from tongues, late 1990s:
“Consider the trees. They put forth buds and leaves. They do so by the power of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
It authenticates the Book of Enoch. When I see how close the tongues-interpreted message comes to the Book of Enoch sayings in its first few chapters and later in its parables section I realise how the same Holy Spirit has inspired the millennia-old book of prophecies quoted in the New Testament epistle of Jude. This has major implications for eschatology. The Book of Enoch also has a prophecy in what is variously called Enoch’s Dream of Beasts, or Vision of Animals. Here it is foretold, many centuries in advance, that the Ancient Israel northern tribes would forsake the Temple and become spiritually blind, and that they would be in a state of disgrace and punishment with God for a long time. As part of their punishment, God would hand them over to a sequence of angelic shepherds, each ruling them for a certain period, and under these heavenly auspices there would begin and continue a series of deadly wars and conquest events metered out on these Ancient Israel tribes. The events clearly match the biblical and historic events concerning the ten northern tribes of Ancient Israel, starting with the conquest by the Assyrians. The events through the centuries are well described in the prophecy: The subsequent conquest by the Greeks, as attested to in historic records, and so on. Crucially, the events foretold are described in relation to the numbered sequence of angelic shepherd reigns. The Assyrian conquest of Israel happens in the first angelic shepherd’s term. Each subsequent term is recorded along with events during that term, or in many cases, group of successive terms. These terms continue into later history, even through to events beyond the times of the Bible. It is not easy to relate the descriptions of the events to biblical and historic known events because the language is that of a dream vision and is very old, translated from Ge’ez, a very ancient Semitic language similar to Akkadian, Hebrew and Aramaic, but it is possible. What is indeed possible is, very importantly, determining the length of a term of one of the angelic shepherds. There is sufficient correlation with historic events to determine that this term is forty years. Eschatologically this is very enlightening indeed. I found that the forty years of each shepherd over Israel would provide light on future decades up until the return of Jesus Christ. The Enoch prophecy is of seventy shepherd terms in total. The first term starts, Enoch tells us, at the time of the Assyrian Conquest of Samaria, capital of the northern tribes of Ancient Israel. This is a historically known date. Seventy terms follow up until the Christ comes and rules over the land, defeating all of the world powers. The details of events in between these extremes, especially the time of the coming of the Ancient Greeks, show that a term is forty years long. So this seventy term period is 2800 years. So the Christ will come and defeat the world powers at Armageddon around 2800 years after the Ancient Assyrian Conquest of Samaria. This I calculated to put the coming of the Christ at around 2060 AD.
