“As it was in the Days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the FLOOD came and destroyed them all. Likewise, as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained FIRE and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.” – Luke 17:26-30.

The Biblical account of Noah’s time is found in Genesis 6:1-8 …humanity had reached unprecedented levels of corruption and moral decay wickedness. The Bible describes this period as a time when; “The wickedness of man was great in the earth, and every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only EVIL continually” - Genesis 6:5. Today’s Last Day culture mirrors these traits!

The account of Lot’s time is found in; Genesis 19 - Lot, the nephew of Abraham, lived in Sodom - a city notorious for its SIN and rebellion against God! Sodom’s inhabitants were consumed by sexual perversion, acts of homosexuality and other unnatural desires (Jude 1:7). Sodom was also marked by “violence,” “oppression,” and a disregard for human life. These characteristics are evident in today’s world through the prevalence of terrorism, government corruption, human trafficking, lawlessness and systemic injustice. The people of Sodom disregarded God’s Authority and moral laws!

The characteristics of Sodom’s society provide further insight into the conditions preceding Christ’s return… The conditions of Noah’s and Lot’s days bear striking similarities to our world today; moral corruption with society straying away from Biblical principles. Many prioritize material success and personal gratification over spiritual growth and so do NOT or just simply refuse to see the “warning” signs. Prophecy is dismissed or ridiculed just “as in the Days of Noah” …before the WATERS flooded the earth with God’s wrath on wicked mankind!

With an unpredicted SURGE of “flash FLOODS” has meteorologists calling; “2025 - the year of the flood” … As of mid-July, America has seen the highest number of flash flood warnings since record keeping began. This includes the deadly Texas flooding on July 4, when torrential rains caused the Guadalupe River to surge, sweeping away homes, vehicles, and killing at least 135 people, more than any rainfall-driven flash flood in half a Century. So, we ask, “Why the sudden increase of “flash flooding” in 2025?” Weather Meteorologists have blamed higher humidity levels, caused by warmer waters surrounding the US. However, considering where we stand on the Biblical Timeline, on the threshold of the FINAL Millennium, or Day of the Lord, it is interesting to consider a parallel to the ultimate “flash flood” in the Days of Noah!

Seeing how the FLOOD of Noah’s Day foreshadows the onset of Judgment Day…. It’s NOT just coincidence that today’s flooding is happening while the world is applying pressure on Israeli PM Netanyahu, to end the war in Gaza so that a “so-called Peace” with a “Palestinian statehood.” Also on the cards is the Abraham Accords (Arab Israeli peace agreements) to be expanded to more Arab states! Israel sees it also as a way of rescuing the hostages who have almost 2 years been held in inhumane conditions and starved to death by Hamas Palestinian terrorists in Gaza. While these Abraham Accords with Arab states is considered a positive development, they contravene God’s plan for Israel to inhabit ALL the Promised Land, as some of these states exist within its Biblically defined borders (Exodus 23:31). God warns against “dividing HIS Land or making covenants with those who illegitimately occupy it (Joel 3:2; Ex. 23:32–33).

The Waters have broken….

Did you know that the Number 40 is significant In the Bible it symbolizes periods of; testing, preparation, and transformation, appearing in KEY events AND marks a period of preparation for a new phase of God’s plan! 40 also happens to be the number of weeks of gestation in pregnancy before the woman’s labour begins. The water will first break and then the labour pain begins followed by contractions that will get more painful and intense until the birth of the baby! You see, our God in His mercy has given us the warning signs” (Matthew 24; Luke 21) like that of a woman in labour whose WATER is breaks before the NEW birth! We can “connect the dots” and know the “times and seasons” of the FINAL Generation. With all the floods and waters across Cities of the world ALL occurring at around the same time in July 2025 …we also see the “signs” of wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah that is rife in these Last Days. We see forest FIRES also beginning to occur increasingly frequently as volcanoes erupt and earthquakes on the rise Truly, we believe 2025 could be a beginning of the End of the Age of Grace even as so many floods happening across the world right in the middle of this year. “Therefore I (God) will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place at the wrath of the LORD of Hosts on the day of His God) burning anger.” – Isaiah 13:13

Here are some more examples of the Number 40; The great FLOOD of Noah when it rained for 40 days and 40 nights (Genesis 7:4, 12, 17) marked a period of “judgement and cleansing” of the earth. The floodwaters wiped away a corrupt world, but Noah, his family, and the animals on the ark were preserved for a fresh start. Moses was on Mount Sinai on 2 occasions (Exodus 24:18; 34:28) for 40 days and 40 nights. The Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years (Numbers 14:33-34) …and only when the last of the preceding generation was gone did God allow His people to proceed further to fully reveal His Divine Will – the Promised Land, Israel. Goliath taunted Israel for 40 days before David defeated him (1 Samuel 17:16).  Ezekiel laid on his right side for 40 days to “bear the iniquity” of Judea’s sins (Ezekiel 4:6). He was instructed by God to lay on his left side for 390 days and his right side for 40 days to “bear the iniquities” of Israel and Judea (respectively). The days corresponded to the number of years each kingdom insulted the Name of God through wickedness and rebellion. Moses, Elijah and Yeshua (Jesus) all fasted in the desert for 40 days. It’s NO surprise that three of the Bible’s most important figures each endured 40 days without food or water. There are 40 Days Between Yeshua’ (Jesus) Resurrection and Ascension (Acts 1:3).

The Bible teaches us that the Day of the Lord will arrive unexpectedly, while people are saying, “peace and security” (1 Thessalonians 5:2, 3) … With all this in mind, it is significant to note that the 2020 “Declaration of the Abraham Accords used the phrase twice in a single paragraph. Only five years later in 2025 it appears as if a new era of “Peace and Security” is dawning on the world’s most war-torn region! So, could the unparalleled prospect of PEACE across the Middle East be what Scripture refers to when it says …the Day of the Lord will arrive unexpectedly, while people are saying “peace and security/safety?”

Another reason 2025 could mark a turning point regard to “Peace and Security” is that the United Nations … an organization whose stated mission is to; maintain; “Global Peace and Safety/Security” is convening for the 80th time in 2025 …since its FOUNDING on the Anniversary of Noah’s Flood, Cheshvan 17 (24 October) in 1945. The UN’s 80th Anniversary and FLOOD correlation is significant because, speaking of, the FINAL Generation AND commencement of Judgment Day! Yeshua (Jesus) says, it will be “like the days of Noah” (Matthew 24:32–39). Since Scripture defines a generation as; 70–80 years, the UN’s 80th Assembly to advance “peace and security” is pivotal …but it even gets more interesting since the Day of the Lord is announced by “a trumpet blast” (Joel 2:1), it is striking that the UN’s 80th General Debate begins this year on the Feast of Trumpets, September 23 for a creation of a Palestinian state! Israel is 77 years this year and something must be in the making!

Now let’s consider some more Biblical Numeric Parallels to the Number 23 relating to the 2025 - Feast of Trumpets (Hebrew; the mo’ed, or “appointed time”) and believed to foreshadow the Rapture! The Jews celebrate the first day of the 7th month, Tishri, (Leviticus 23:23-25) over a 2-day period because it is “the day NO one knows the day or hour!” For this very reason, Yom Teruah or Yom Hakeseh or Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets) is referred to as “the mo’ed” that; “NO one knows the day or hour of!” The Hidden Day, The Day of Hiding (Psalm 81:3). the Feast of Trumpets. Of the 7-Feasts of the Lord “moedim”, this one is the ONLY one that does NOT have an exact starting time! This Feast begins only when two witnesses see the edge of the moon and report their sighting to the Sanhedrin. This requirement introduces slight variable time to its inception and because it is “the day no one knows the day or hour.” For this very reason, “The Feast of Trumpets” – “Rosh Hashanah” - “Yom Teruah” was …and still is, referred to as “the mo’ed (appointed time) …that NO one knows the day or hour of! Our Lord, Yeshua however is Jewish and He understood the Feasts and customs of a Galatian wedding where the father of the bridegroom will give the call “son, go fetch your bride!”

Firstly, “no one knows the hour or day” references the day when the moon is just coming out of hiding, in other words, a day of a concealed moon. Secondly, Satan is NOT given notice about the arrival of Yom Teruah, the Day of Judgment. It's a “hidden day” because it was hidden from Satan, the adversary in the same manner that the Resurrection of Yeshua on the 3rd day was hidden from Satan’s knowledge. Yeshua (Jesus) mentioned this in; Matthew 24:36; Mark 13:32; “When that day and hour will come, NO one knows – not the angels in heaven, not the Son, just the Father.” By using this expression, “You do not know the day or the hour,” Yeshua may have been referencing both Yom Teruah and the Yom Ha’Keseh of understanding! The term “keseh or keceh” is derived from the Hebrew root “kacah,” which means; to "conceal, cover, or hide."

Since The Feast Trumpets (Biblical New Year) this year falls on September 23-24 interestingly that it is first mentioned; (1) in Leviticus 23:23, 24. (2) And 923 (September 23) is the Hebrew gematria of the phrase “Feast of Trumpets.” (3) 1 Thessalonians 5:2, 3 (23) reveals the TIMING of the “Day of the Lord” (while people are saying “peace and safety/security).” (4) Genesis 5:23 reveals the timing of Enoch’s (rapture) “catching away” (while he was 365 years old). (5) Genesis 25:23 speaks of two groups being separated by a BIRTH, evoking the Rapture “birth,” when the righteous are separated from the wicked (Isaiah 26:17–20). (6) Habakkuk 2:3 states: “The revelation awaits an appointed time (Mo’ed) it speaks of the END and will not delay.” (7) And Psalm 23, concludes: “I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” (8) Strong’s #23 Hebrew is the name, Abiasaph, which means; “my father has gathered,” evoking the Rapture gathering (2 Thessalonians. 2:1). And Strong’s #23 Greek is the word aganakteó, which means “to be indignant,” evoking the Day of Indignation (disapproval/anger) that follows the Rapture (Isaiah 26:20). (9) The cells that make up the human body contain 46 chromosomes - 23 from each parent. (10) The Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle of 23 degrees, a feature believed to have occurred at Noah’s Flood. What’s more, according to Scripture, earth “will again be tilted” at the Day of the Lord (Isaiah 13:13; 24:1, 19, 20). (TW Tramm).

Look once again – it’s getting very interesting especially 23-24 September 2025 on the Feast of Trumpets… The 80th Session of the UN General Assembly begins on 9 September the first day of the UN high-level General Debate concerning Agenda 2030. But on Tuesday September 23 marks, the opening of the UN’s 80th General Debate, where the discussion will centre on the creation of a “Palestinian state” and achieving “Peace and Security” in the Middle East (Joel:3:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:3). The theme for the general debate of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly is; “Better together! 80 years and more for peace, development and human rights!" Australia has also decided to recognize a “Palestinian state” at the United Nations in September. Several Western Nations, including Canada, France, and the United Kingdom, plan to recognize the State of Palestine as well. South Africa had turned its back on Israel years in the making first with BDS - then the ICC/J Courts with Lawfare, Judgement is coming in 2025!

Another Prophetic aspect of this year’s flooding is that it occurred during a calculated Jubilee… the connection is significant because the Jubilee, or Year of Redemption, is when land is restored to its original owner and therefore calls to mind the Arab occupation of Israel - the Promised Land, and the current “peace accords.” But most importantly, the Jubilee foreshadows our (believers - the true Church) bodily Redemption at the Rapture, and the onset of Judgment Day (Romans. 8:23; Isaiah 63:1-4). Could the historic “flash floods” in consecutive Jubilees be “a SIGN” that the Rapture is about to occur “in a flash,” …unleashing a “FLOOD of judgment” upon an unsuspecting and unbelieving world? The Church of Yeshua - Jesus Christ is truly living in Prophetic days.

The Waters have broken, and the birth pains have begun… Our planet has been violently shaking, heaving, and breaking under the weight of unprecedented natural disasters; Earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, and storms have erupted across the globe with ferocity. Some may view these as merely environmental events such as so-called “climate change” …BUT those with Prophetic discernment recognize a deeper truth that Creation itself is groaning, and therefore Bible warnings must NOT be ignored as they are sounding the alarm. Only just as of July 2025, there have been 56 volcanoes that have erupted, and 44 volcanoes are currently active. Earthquakes with magnitude of 7.0 have occurred at near-average rates, but with highly clustered intensity and devastation. These are NOT isolated tremors. These are labour pains, and the Earth is Groaning; Romans 8:22; “We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.”- Romans 8:22. What we are seeing is NOT chaos …it’s the cry of a creation yearning to be set free!

Our Lord Yeshua (Jesus) rebuked the religious leaders of His time for NOT discerning the “signs of the times” (Matthew 16:3) … How much closer are we now to the Rapture (Harpazo) and Second Coming of our Lord, 2,000 years later?  Earthquakes and other disasters are NOT just scientific phenomena; they are Biblical Prophetic indicators and today we are already experiencing the “birth pangs” (Matthew 24:7–8). The WATERS have already been broken! These “birth-pains” are NOT to incite any FEAR - they are to prepare a people. We must take our seat in Heavenly places and govern the “shaking,” NOT react to it …as this Is NOT the End yet as we are still to have the FINAL “push” in the labour!  It’s the Groans that come before Glory and NEW birth of our world; “When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” – Luke 21:28

The shaking is NOT the end yet - it is the preparation! It is the labour pains that groan before the NEW birth. The systems of this world are failing. Governments are unstable. Nature is rebelling. Why? Because the King is coming! The bride – the “true Church” must be made ready. The shaking is here…but so is the Kingdom. So, let’s walk in dominion and declare: The earth belongs to the Lord, and so we believers will not be moved! It’s beginning and the WATERS have been broken as in a woman with childbirth and things are going to be escalating quickly. God is in control and just as the Scriptures warned us! God controls the weather and has set aside fault-lines, and the greatest one is the “Africa plate” that connects to the Land of Israel and runs directly under the Temple Mount and will someday soon “split” it in two. Fault-lines are kept for the time of Judgement and will be activated in the Tribulation. “Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Almighty it comes.” – Joel 1:15.

The Day of the Lord will come like a thief! “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed!” – 2 Peter 3:10. How does a thief come? The thief will come in the night as we have seen most attacks that happened on the farms in South Africa in the darkness of the night – they attack the helpless! Thieves attack when you least expect them to do so! So here we see Our Lord using a metaphor that we can understand.

You see, we need to live our lives looking forward to the Day of the Lord and speed it’s coming. We are the “Bride of Christ” His true Church and must NOT be like the world …but to keep “our lamps burning” for the midnight hour! “For the day of the Lord is near upon ALL the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head.” – Obadiah 1:15. As Judeo-Christian believers we are looking forward to a NEW Heaven and NEW Earth where “righteousness” dwells! “But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief” - 1 Thessalonians 5:4.

So, let’s re-cap …what has the world just very recently experienced? Floods, Earthquakes, Fires, Earth spinning, Volcanoes, Oceans reversing etc. Signs are in the Heavens and on earth: A Blood moon on Purim in March and another one again in September 2025. While we watch the WAR waged on Israel, we also see that the Nations have become full of hatred for Israel! In fact, Israelis are the victims and are being persecuted for being born ethnic Jewish just as South Africa persecutes people for skin colour - being born white.  The Nations are filled with deception and corruption. There will be a “Blood Moon” (another warning) that will be once more visible in Israel on 7^th September 2025 two days before UN high-level General Debate concerning Agenda 2030 …and two weeks before Rosh Hashanah (Day of Trumpets) on 23^rd September (beginning on the evening of 22^nd until evening 24th September) and Biblical New Year 5786 …when they discuss creating a Palestinian state.

The Red indicates where the entire eclipse is visible from the start and with purple the entire partial and total phases are visible …so it will be over South Africa and Asia. Areas with lighter shadings left (West) of the centre will experience the eclipse after moonrise/sunset. Areas with lighter shadings right (East) of the centre will experience the eclipse until moonset to sunrise. Actual Eclipse visibility depends on weather conditions and line of sight to the Moon. It will not be visible over the white areas according to Nasa. Important to note is that it WILL appear over Israel and South Africa at the same time while ANC government blatantly entertains Iran and Hamas terrorists who are Israel’s greatest enemies in the face of Almighty God! “For the look on their faces bears witness against them; they proclaim their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they have brought evil on themselves.” – Isaiah 3:9.

Why is this second blood moon of 2025 an important “sign?” Blood-Moons / Lunar-Eclipses have historically been a negative omen for Israel, usually indicative of bloodshed associated with WAR, as the Talmud (Jewish law and writings) teaches. Solar Eclipses on the other hand, have been held as bad omens for Gentile Nations. These Blood Moon “signs” as Joel:2-28-32 foretold are set to occur before that great and notable Day of the Lord, which is the day Christ WILL return …in “triumphal victory” over the EVIL darkness of this world bringing the believers of His Spiritual Body - His Church with Him in the FINAL defeat of the enemy which will effectively wrap up the Age of Grace, as the Lord gathers his Church together, As we pay heed to the soon coming Blood Moon …and current WAR involving Israel and as the Nations wishing to divide Israel with their plans for a Palestinian state! Time will tell!

Now that we have discussed the breaking of the WATER being the first “sign” that followed new birth just as in the Days of Noah …BUT what about the FIRE which follows like in the Days of Lot and Sodom? First comes the breaking of the WATER and then comes the FIRE…

Everyone always blames someone else! Today we witness the governments of the world refusing to admit their own country’s decisions and faults …BUT instead they attack Israel for defending its people against Iran and Hamas terrorist regimes! A very good example is South Africa that was a once prosperous bordering - first world Nation until 1994  …but then began to deteriorate quickly under the current government that has now been in power for almost 32 years. Because of their incompetence and greed, they have simply failed the people of South Africa and simply refuse to admit it …and so instead have produced laws like that of the Nazi regime of Germany penalizing the minorities for their failures. Neither will they relent from their attacks against Israel instead support Iran and Hamas terrorists who are of the worst enemies of Israel and enemies of God Himself. Always blaming someone else and NOT taking responsibility …AND then NOT looking at the fact that Almighty God is NOT happy with the way they are treating Israel – His Land and people! God’s wrath will soon follow as the world becomes more anti-Israel! They will NEVER admit truth and repent… Like in the Days of Noah and Lot! “In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise. For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD. In his pride the wicked man does NOT seek Him; in all his schemes there is NO God.” – Psalm 10:2-6.

You see clearly the Leaders of the Nations know exactly what they are doing BUT mostly refuse to admit that SIN has increased and today “good is called evil and evil is called good” …and accepted by society… In Revelation 6 – “they shake their fists at Heaven!” The world is not just drifting - it’s racing toward judgment just as the Bible warned. We see evil being called good and good being mocked as evil. Lawlessness is increasing, and hearts are growing colder by the day. But Almighty God YHVH is NOT blind, NOR is He silent. His wrath against a rebellious, Christ-rejecting world is coming …just as He promised! “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.” – Romans 1:18. There is soon coming a time when God WILL pour out His righteous judgment upon this earth during the Tribulation, an unparalleled time of wrath that WILL shake the world to its core. The Bible warns of devastating disasters, plagues, wars, and the reign of the Antichrist. But this is NOT for the TRUE Church - those believers who are saved will be taken in the Rapture before God's judgment falls. However, we are in the birth pains as the WATER is now broken, and the FIRE comes next!

The Book of Daniel specifically identifies Michael the archangel as being on Israel’s side; At that time, Michael will arise, the great prince who will stand up on behalf of your people (Israel), and a time of trouble will come like there has never been since nations began until that time. Also at that time, your people WILL be delivered - everyone who will have been written in the book.” - Daniel 12:1. This verse is referring to the Great Tribulation. Michael the Archangel is standing in defence of Israel. We can well imagine that when the Rapture takes place, the “shout” that is heard will be the voice of Michael, for he will come in defence of Israel.

With the Church – the Body of Christ gone, there will be No more prayers for Israel, resulting in total darkness for her and for the first time in history the Jews will be in danger of losing their identity… So, it is absolutely - necessary that Michael come into action for the people because the Church is gone! It is significant to note that Michael’s action on behalf of Israel will NOT be evident from the beginning. You see, when the Church would have been Raptured and for Israel and the Jews the “time of Jacob’s Trouble” will only just have begun. After Israel accepted the Antichrist as her (false) Messiah they must go through to the end of the 7-Year Tribulation and only then will unbelieving Israel experience complete salvation. Jewish Messianic believers (those who believe in Yeshua – Jesus Christ) would have been Raptured with the Church!

The Lord Yeshua (Jesus) is NOT coming on the earth at the time of the Rapture as this will only happen when the Lord’s feet literally stand upon the Mount of Olives… This event will only be fulfilled after the Rapture of the Church takes place. In the very same way the Lord left Israel so He must return to Israel; “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.” -Acts 11:1. The Lord will physically come back to the Mount of Olives for Israel – just as the Bible declared in; Zechariah 14:4; “On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west forming a very large valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and the other half toward the south.”

The Meeting place for the Church with her Lord is described very clearly "…in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air!" And so, we see that this is the first phase of the Second Coming which we call the Rapture and is NOT for Israel or the unbelieving world – it is for the "blood washed – blood bought believers …Jew and Gentile! The Rapture involves two categories of believers (1) those who have already died in the Lord and those who are still alive at that moment and will lead to the presence of the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:51-53). Even so "Come Lord, Yeshua, Come!"

We most sincerely believe that God WILL bless you for your faithfulness and love for His land and chosen people. God’s Word is true! He IS watching to see how the Nations are treating His people. God will have mercy on Israel through Gentile believers acting as mediators towards them. This is one of the most amazing revelations ever given to the Church – an opportunity to do something that carries the highest priority in the heart of God. Yet, sadly, so few have seen the potential and the rewards of serving God in this manner - as agents of mercy to Israel and the Jewish people! Israel was and still is despised today and a despised Nation continually turning away from God …BUT nothing ever altered the purpose of God for that Nation. The "despised element" is always a noticeable element in the purpose of God. When the Saviour of the world came, He came of that "despised Nation" (and just like Israel) He Himself was "…despised and rejected by men." And there is that despised element; "…things that are despised God has chosen," - 1 Corinthians 1:28.

We hope that you enjoy and become more informed by our work. We serve an awesome God and we are humbled by this opportunity to bring you this information.

With Shalom to you and your family always,
