One.

Hello, everyone, everywhere.

Pastor Robert Thibodeau here.

Welcome to the faith or welcome to the Kingdom Crossroads podcast.

Praise God.

We're so blessed that you're joining us today.

Our guest today coming Back on is Dr.

Richard Ruly.

And I'm excited every time he comes on.

He's a prophecy expert.

He has insight into scriptures that, that a lot of people I talk to just don't have.

And with his insight, we get a clear, I won't say a complete clearer picture, but the, the haze and the fog starts to dissipate, I guess you could say where we could start seeing exactly what he's talking about in scripture.

With that being said, help me.

Welcome back to the program, Dr.

Richard.

Really, Doc, thank you for coming back on and sharing with us today.

I appreciate your time.

God bless you, Bob.

Pastor ROBERT I am so thankful to be with you.

Your enthusiasm and your reach and your ministry, I covet and you allow me to share with those that you've nurtured over the years.

But here I come as a late comer.

But I got, I think, some good stuff for today anyway.

Thank you.

Amen.

Amen.

Yeah, because you sent out an article and I had to get you on to talk about this where you say this could be our last Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and explain that for us a little bit.

Well, I want to go back to.

Grant Jeffrey or Jeffrey Grant, I can't.

Remember which, which is his name, but he wrote a book called the Signature of God.

And the mathematical signature of God in.

One of his chapters is seven, just like God made the world.

Six days and rest of the seventh, you put one, if you have seven.

Coins, you put one in the center.

And if there are nickels or dimes, they're all the same size, six will.

Fit perfectly around one in the center.

Which is God, you know, in a sense.

And so seven is a very interesting number.

And I'm wanting to share with you something about seven days, seven weeks, seven months and seven years today.

And I'm see, I mean, and I believe that we are looking right now in the, what can I say?

It's about seven weeks since this last weekend that people will be singing Handel's Messiah.

Okay.

For Christmas time, the Christmas season.

I know of a church that I'm specifically targeting right now.

They're gonna, on, on Saturday have handel's.

Messiah on the 21st of December.

Well, that's seven weeks from, from this past weekend.

And I'm writing to the pastor because I believe this is the last really.

Good Christmas we're gonna have based on.

The other sevens that I haven't told you about yet.

But the idea is that when Christ.

Was asked about the end of the world, he said, to understand the book of Daniel.

And in Daniel's seventh chapter, there's a conflict between a ram pushing from the Middle east, it's really a Muslim ram.

And a goat that is angry and.

Flies from the west to stomp the ram.

And it says in verse 20, verse.

17 says the vision is at the.

Time of the end.

Verse 20 says, the horns on the ram are the kings of Media and Persia.

Well, those nations are.

Yeah.

And Iraq.

And actually, I predicted a war with Iraq before 9, 11 based on this.

So Iran is next.

And a year ago, just in this past October 7, Hamas, funded by Iraq, attacked Israel.

And they.

And what Zechariah says Hamas did in miniature in a lower degree.

See, Zechariah 14:1 says, Day of the.

Lord, which is the end time, period of judgment.

Let me just say this.

It's not when he comes in the sky, I don't think, because when God.

First of all, Joel has more references.

To Day of the Lord than any other book.

But no second coming.

So it's.

I don't think it's the second coming.

But in Egypt, God said, I will execute judgment.

This is night of the lord in.

Verses 12 and 42.

Okay, so night of the Lord judgment.

And I believe day of the Lord.

Will also be judgment for the end.

Time, like Egypt was many thousands of years ago.

And the point is that when God executed judgment, he took Israel to a covenant at Sinai that made them his kingdom.

He said, if you keep my covenant, you'll be a kingdom.

And he also said later, Jeremiah 3, 14, turn, I'm married to you.

He was regarding the covenant as a marriage, and today we think of it as a covenant relationship.

Even.

So, the idea is we can marry Christ if we understand how to get the covenant.

And I'm believing that what we were talking about before with Iran, in Daniel 8, it says, first of all, Iraq.

Was a bad deal.

We left men and equipment over there.

And we're not wanting war with Iran.

It's a bigger deal.

It said the higher horn came up last.

But what makes us angry at them.

It must be their taking of Jerusalem.

Like Hamas did a year ago.

It says in Zechariah 14:1:2, Day of the Lord comes, and nations will be gathered against Jerusalem.

Houses rifled, women raped, half the city goes into captivity.

Well, and because they are our only best ally, really in the Middle east, we got to defend them.

And so that will make the goat angry.

Basically, we've moved our embassy to Jerusalem, et cetera.

So I'm seeing that as impending for next spring in first Samuel, or maybe no, it's two Samuel, I believe it is.

Can't remember first or second, but it's the 11th chapter and the second verse.

In the spring when kings go forth.

To battle, it says, well, that's historic.

You know, Titus came to Jerusalem at time of Passover in the spring.

And I believe that that's when the Muslims will attack.

And I believe they will celebrate their mosque which says, allah has no son.

The Quran has that in it.

And so the son, it's time for him to speak.

Christ is the lion of Judah in Revelation 5:5.

And so the lion will roar, the Lord will roar.

It says, this is Joel 3, 16.

The Lord shall roar from Jerusalem, the.

Heavens and earth will shake.

So that's one big earthquake.

And we sing about it at Christmas in handel's Messiah.

In Haggai 2 it says, the Lord whom you seek.

Let's see.

Wait a minute.

Once in a little while, I'll shake.

The heavens, the earth, the sea, the dry land.

All nations and the desire of all nations shall come.

That's what it was.

Haggai 2, 6, 7.

I believe the desire of all nations is Christ's kingdom.

It will be fair, it'll be wonderful.

There'Ll be no war, et cetera, you know, but it's linked to the shaking of the heavens and earth.

And I'm seeing that as a first of all.

This is related to Passover, which is a seven day.

I talked about seven days.

First of all, Passover is a seven day feast.

And I believe that if we understand how those seven days can be.

Seven days of unleavened bread.

Remember when Israel left Egypt, they ate.

Unleavened bread for seven days.

That was the main.

Okay.

And Passover is a time of unleavened bread.

They were supposed to get rid of the leaven in their houses.

Well, Christ said, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, meaning their doctrine.

So it's not just about crackers.

It's really about what the leaven represents.

The preachers have a way of making the sermon light.

It's easy to swallow.

You don't even have to chew it.

It just sounds good and so on.

But the, the problem is that we've.

We'Ve gotten rid of stuff that takes.

A little chewing to really understand it.

And I'm going to make a reference to some of it a little later, but I just want to say that there are seven topics I'm seeing that.

Are part of our offer to Christ.

When Abraham gave Abimelech seven ewe lamps for a water well, he was, that was the initiative for a covenant for.

Him to have water for his flocks.

But the active, the proactive person had to give 7 of something like the water well or, you know, God.

Seven times he promised Abraham that land over there from Genesis 12 to 17.

Seven times I went through there and looked at it and walked through this land.

It's yours, wherever your footsteps and so.

On until chapter 17.

And God gave Israel seven holy days.

Their annual Sabbaths.

The first and last day of Passover were holy convocations.

The first and last day of the feast of Tabernacles was holy convocations.

There was Rosh Hashanah, Pentecost, Yom Kippur.

They all added up to seven annual Sabbaths.

Well, I'm, I'm seeing that those are.

Also called in Leviticus 23, verse 44.

Appointed times will we keep our appointments.

You know, in other words, when Christ comes, he will be looking for those who are looking for him.

He, God got an ignorant bride at Sinai, and he sadly, the Israel worshiped a calf.

And we don't want that for Christ.

He deserves an intelligent bride.

So there are topics that have been leavened out of most of Christianity these appointed times.

But that's how God makes his statement.

And the point is that for this coming year, there is a historically unique time period for Passover.

Let me back up and say that that Passover in the Bible was the first month of spring after the equinox.

But when Christ was talking about the end of the world, he said, no man knows the day or hour.

And another place in Matthew 25, he says, you don't know the day or hour.

It really might have been a euphemism.

For a different way of saying, you don't understand.

Okay, it, it's.

It's like no man knows the day or hour, but as the days of.

Noah or you don't understand.

I want to get to that part.

Yeah, yeah.

This part I want to get to.

All right, good.

Okay.

But when he said in Matthew 25, verse 13, you don't know.

But oh, he said in the King James is four, you don't know.

For the kingdom of God is like a man traveling to a far country.

And that travel was also a provision.

For Passover a month later, if they took a long trip, couldn't get back in time.

They were not excused because Passover meant judgment.

They had to keep it a month later.

And so that's how those who are believers operated.

And actually there were about five or six parables like that.

After Christ said, no man knows the day or hour, but as a days of Noah, the next parable begins, then.

Shall two be in the field.

Then is the same time.

Okay, One taken, the other left.

We think of that as a rapture since their movie Left behind series, but really it's not about a rapture.

God took his people to the wilderness to prove what was in their heart, he said, and it wasn't a rapture.

I want to interrupt you there.

Good, good.

As he said now, no man knows the day or hour, but as the days of Noah and you know, the.

Then we talk about Methuselah.

Right, right.

Good for oldest person to ever live.

Yeah.

He was, you know, Noah's father, grandfather or something like that.

And as soon as Methuselah died, there was seven days mourning for, you know, the loss of a loved one.

Actually 30 then.

Okay, but I'm saying.

And then, yeah, you could say all hell broke loose.

Yes.

Right.

Good for you for bringing that out.

The two provisions for a late Passover.

Were contact with a dead body or mourning like that.

And the other was a long travel if you couldn't get back.

And so you keep it later.

And I'm seeing that when Muslims take.

Jerusalem, they'll be attacking at first Passover.

But by second Passover time, it will be fit in with the flood coming at that time.

And.

Oh, and now I'm finishing out the.

Last day of Passover, which happens to.

Be a holy convocation, falls on a historically important date or sign of Christ's coming in.

If you were to Google dark day in Joel 2, 2, it says, the day of the Lord is the day of darkness.

Okay.

Unexplainably dark because they had cows coming in from the field, chickens went to roost, had to have a lamp to.

Read a newspaper at noontime.

It was so dark.

And it wasn't smoke.

It wasn't, you know, they didn't know.

And this.

Anyway, but it repeated 200 years later when Mount St.

Helens erupted and put ash into the sky overnight.

Wind carried it to darken three states on May 19th again.

So I'm believing, okay, I'm believing that God is marking May 19 twice.

It was a 200th anniversary.

Why is he marking it?

This coming spring, May 19 falls on Passover time of judgment.

It won't be next year.

I mean, it won't be.

It wasn't this year and it won't.

Be the year after.

But it just the way the calendar.

Is, God is wonderful number and he can make it turn out for, you know, centuries in advance.

So anyway, amazing.

Amen.

Amen.

And like I said, we referenced Methuselah, whose name means when he dies, it will come.

Yeah.

And it did.

And it did.

And if the numbers are laying out, you know, if everything is laying out like we're looking at, I mean, as you said, this could be our last Merry Christmas.

I believe so.

And let me finish out if Muslims attack the city and we make a covenant at second Passover.

Also, Passover is the time when you.

Start counting to Pentecost.

It's like from the, you know, Christ died on Friday and then he was in the grave on Saturday.

And Sunday morning he came out of the grave.

That Sunday morning was also the start to Pentecost.

Fifty days from that Sabbath, it ends up on Sunday, seven weeks later.

So here's seven weeks we talked about seven days of Passover, seven weeks to Pentecost and then seven months from now till July, when that Pentecost is okay for us to understand and get ready.

And then seven years for the last seven years that happened.

But also.

One more that I got.

When they sing the Messiah at Christmas.

Time and at Haggai 2, it three times has an odd date that is.

Out of the middle of nowhere.

It mentions in Haggai 2, 10, 18 and 20, the 9th month and 24th day.

And how do we get there?

You know, because that's not the Jewish feast days are mostly in, in the first month of Passover, but also seventh month is the Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Feast of Tabernacles.

That's really the big heavy time.

But seventh month, how do we get to ninth month?

Well, if you go from Pentecost next July, I'm believing, first of all, we need to understand that when Muslims take.

Jerusalem, there's going to be destruction in Jerusalem.

And the Lord roaring From Jerusalem, Joel.

3, 16, heavens and earth shake.

That's the biggest earthquake probably in history.

Jerusalem is going to be destroyed basically by earthquake or Muslims.

And history repeats Proverbs 25:2 says it's.

The glory of God to conceal a thing, the honor of kings to search out a matter.

And the idea is that he causes things in the past to repeat this is Ecclesiastes 3:15.

What has been, is has been already.

God summons each event back in his turn.

Amen.

The prophecy that the best known prophecy and the time prophecy in the Bible is Daniel 9, 24 and 25.

70 weeks determined upon my people.

69 weeks from a decree to restore.

And build Jerusalem to Messiah.

So here we need a decree to restore and build Jerusalem.

For what's going to happen when the heavens and earth shake and the Muslims attack and everything we need a decree.

So 69 weeks go.

Now this is not weeks of years.

This is literal time.

Now this is biblical calendar.

Now starting in the spring, it's not starting in January, the ninth month.

This is really November.

Ish.

Okay.

That it ends up on the 9th month and 24th day if you use a biblical lunar calendar.

And that takes a little explaining.

How much time do we have?

I don't want to.

About ten minutes.

About ten minutes.

Oh, okay.

Well, about eight minutes.

Eight minutes.

Okay.

There is a website and I'll send you a link that you can put it up.

Okay.

I think he's a Jewish rabbi guy.

That accepts the Messiah and he talks.

About the lunar calendar.

Now he doesn't mention one clue that I found and that is Revelation 12.

1.

There is a woman clothed in the.

Light of the sun.

Well, she is a pure woman.

She represents God's people.

And as a new world order is.

Developing and increasing, I think there's going to be an end of denominations.

And we either go one way or the other, either with the pure woman or the Harlot in Revelation 17, which.

Is new world order and control of everybody.

And you know, a compelling.

The Bible refers to false worship.

And this is Revelation's 13th chapter.

It's the third beast.

There's the first beast.

Historically, early Americans believed that that first.

Beast, which had a mouth like a.

Lion, feet like a bear, looked like.

A leopard and had the seven horns and ten horns and seven.

I'm sorry, yes, ten horns and seven crowns like the beasts in Daniel 7.

It was an amalgamation of those beasts.

There was a lion, a bear, a.

Leopard and a dragon.

So here's the first beast that survived.

All those other countries or nations was the papacy.

And they believe that this papacy is what they flooded actually for freedom of.

Worship in the new World because they.

Didn'T want to be burned to the stake.

And bottom line is that I'm seeing the second beast is a Lamb like beast that I believe represents America.

It had two horns like a lamb.

Gentle, peace loving America's been that way historically.

And no crowns on the horns, no king of government, no pope in the church, Protestant America.

But it speaks like a dragon in its laws as we are coming to now and losing our freedoms.

And basically it causes fire to come down from heaven.

We did that with Hiroshima, Nagasaki.

And it causes the world to make an image or a lookalike to the first beast.

And I think the United nations is that image beast.

In other words, with so many Catholic countries to our south, we only get one vote, but each of those nations get a vote, so we're outvoted.

And it's the Pope that will be.

In charge of the new world order.

Morally and he'll decide what we need to do.

He encouraged everybody to get the shot for Covid, which was really a bad shot in retrospect.

But he said, do your neighborly duty.

To help your neighbor God not get those, et cetera.

It basically is about control.

And God doesn't try to control everybody.

He wants Peter to have the freedom of choice.

Amen.

If we, if we, if he's going to beat us and punish us every time we do wrong, we would be serving God from fear.

And God doesn't want that.

He wants us to serve him from.

Love and appreciation for what he's done.

He is a great God.

He deserved everything we can give him and more.

And that's the attitude that we need to have, I think, to be his people and to have the free choices.

So anyway, let me ask you this.

As we get ready to wrap up.

Okay?

How can a believer make it through the times you're talking about?

I believe by when God made a covenant with Israel.

In Exodus 34, verse 10 and 11, he says, Behold, I make a covenant.

It's a terrible thing I'm going to do with you.

I'm going to drive out the Canaanite.

God protected them because of the covenant.

As long as they were faithful to.

The covenant, there was protection.

And I believe we need the covenant to be protected.

Glad you asked.

And I believe that the seven topics that we need to have, just like.

Abraham gave seven ewe lambs, we got to give seven days of unleavened bread.

As a wedding feast, prenuptial feast for the wedding of topics that Christ wants, like God's name.

Christ was concerned about God's name.

He said, father, glorify your name.

And when the people heard Christ's prayer.

They heard thunder from heaven.

As well.

Thunder is linked to God's name And.

That'S the first seal in Revelation 6 when John heard thunder, it was one.

Of the four creatures.

And those seven seals represent seven topics that I see are important.

And specifically I have a book called.

Earthquake and seven seals.

It's about the seven ideas or topics from Revelation 6 that we need in order to make the covenant.

So I just might mention the website is called Health, Happiness and Destiny.

And if you go there you can get a book cheap, they're not expensive.

Everything is under $10.

Even the audio books are under 10.

So and the digital how, how it all ends is like $2.95.

Why that's a bag of popcorn.

You can afford popcorn for your mind, you know.

Amen.

It's a good book too.

It's a good book.

Praise God.

Amen.

So Dr.

Early, if someone to get in touch with you, how can they do that?

They can email me is best way my name ruling R U H l I n g7@yahoo.com and I'll be glad to respond especially if you got a.

Book and have a question or whatever.

But if I can help, I'm glad to do it in whatever time I've got.

Thanks.

Amen.

Amen.

And I'll, I'll put the links to all this in the show notes below.

Amen folks.

Dr.

Ruling has come on many times and every time he comes on it gets me excited because I can sense he's talking.

I can sense the soon return of Jesus is about to happen.

I mean it's every day I wake up, I'm like, oh man, I'm still here.

Hallelujah.

Close.

You know, you can sense it if you're in tune with what the Bible says.

You can sense it in the air.

I mean it's here, it's, we just can't see it or touch it yet.

But it is coming and it's coming soon.

Which means you need to get these books into your hand, read them, share them with your family, let them know just how close we are to having this whole thing just wrap up right.

Amen.

And then from this point on, oh praise Jesus forever.

Amen.

Praise Jesus.

Dr.

Really, I appreciate you taking the time again out of your busy schedule to come on and just share this with us.

And like I said, keep writing these articles because I've seen that I had to get you come back on brother.

I mean it's, I just enjoy it every time we get together.

Well Pastor Bob, I love your heart for truth.

Christ says I am the truth.

And I know you love him.

We save the serve the same God, and hopefully we can.

You know, the king makes a marriage.

For his son and he sends his servants to bid people to a wedding.

And so that you're helping me and I appreciate it.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Glory to God.

Hallelujah.

Folks, that's all the time we have for today.

Dr.

Rule and myself, Pastor Bob, reminding to be blessed in all that you do.
