The Great Tribulation & The MOEDIM
The MOEDIM
The SEVENTH SEAL
The GREAT TRIBULATION
Cosmic Convergence Research Group
Within each of the 7 major religions on Earth there is a prophetic tradition, often oral, sometimes written, which has recorded the inviolable divine prophecies of those respective religions since time immemorial.
Within the Judaic tradition there exists what is known as the MOEDIM (literally translated as “fixed time” or “season”).
Also known as “Divine Appointments” with humanity, the MOEDIM are always scheduled from on high and, therefore, fall within the domain of God’s prophecy.
Prophecy which issues forth as these “Divine Appointments” cannot be changed except by the Will of God.
According to Jewish custom and lore these calendrical milestones are as sacrosanct as the Holy of Holies. Only on the Day of Atonement was the High Priest permitted to enter the inner chamber of the sanctuary in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.
Regardless of those divinely inspired prophets who uttered or wrote them, such prophetic revelation belongs only to the Almighty. It is God, alone, who determines the time and place of their manifestation.
The MOEDIM literally means the “Appointed Times” and is directly related to the most solemn prophecies of the Holy Bible, particularly those found in the Torah and the Book of Revelation. The Hebrew religion would describe the MOEDIM as follows:
The Moedim (moe-eh-DEEM – “Appointed Times”), are typically called, “Jewish holidays” but in the Bible are referred to as God’s feast days. These include: Pesakh (Passover), Matzah (Unleavened Bread), Yom Habikkurim (First Fruits), Shavuot (Pentecost), Rosh HaShannah (Trumpets), Yom Kippur (Atonement) and Succot (Tabernacles). Also given consideration in this section are the Shabbat (Sabbath) and the Yovel Year (Jubilee Release). Knowledge of the mystical meaning of these appointed times is critical to an understanding of events taking place in the book of Revelation.[1]
What is important to understand is that the Book of Revelation is actually a prophetic explanation of the last 3 unfulfilled “Appointed Times” of the MOEDIM. This includes the following Jewish feast days.
• Rosh Hashanah aka the Feast of Trumpets is the Jewish New Year (biblical name is Yom Teruah
• Yom Kippur aka the Day of Atonement is the holiest day of the Jewish (falls on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei)
• Sukkoth aka the Feast of Booths or the Feast of Tabernacles (always falls on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei)
The traditional correlation between the holiest feasts — Yahweh’s Feasts — of the Hebrew calendar and the ancient and sacred 7-branched Menorah is depicted by the graphic below.

Represents the Divine Appointments
Herein lies the true mystery of the MOEDIM and the esoteric relationship that exists between the Book of Revelation and the Torah. In other words the epochal and eschatological events of the Book of Revelation can only be understood and properly predicted by understanding the true workings of the MOEDIM.
When these divine appointments are correctly comprehended and their timing accurately established, the very future of the world is laid bare. For the first 3 feast days on the Hebrew calendar have surprisingly yet to unfold in the way that they are cryptically predicted to do so in the Book of Revelation.
The critical point about the MOEDIM is that it holds the key to the secrets of the Great Tribulation. For the fulfillment of the 3 sacred feasts — God’s feasts — signify the beginning of the Great Tribulation. For there is no other “divine appointment” that is more integral to the evolution of humankind than the upcoming 7-year period.
Judgment Is Coming By Way Of The Great Tribulation
The world has witnessed a period of astounding and unrelenting corruption within the Global Economic & Financial System. The Twin Towers in lower Manhattan were towering symbols of the profound abuse and misuse of money and wealth across the planet. Decisions made on Wall Street are often far more consequential than military operations for nations large and small, rich and poor.
The awesome destruction of the World Trade Center on 9/11 was merely an omen of things to come. Just like the Twin Towers in the Lord of the Rings, they were the source of so much woe and misery to the people of the Earth … and they were therefore destroyed. The day that the Twin Towers fell and the Pentagon was pierced by a cruised missile served as an omen regarding the fateful future of American financial prowess and economic power, political influence and military might. Although all of these appear to be firmly intact given the pervasiveness of the U.S. military footprint around the globe, as well as the apparent strength of the once Almighty Dollar, both can diminish in the twinkling of an eye.
What follows is an excerpt from the original essay regarding this very delicate matter:
There is a very profound and significant connection between the US Government sponsored and staged terrorist attacks of 9/11/01 and the PRE-PLANNED Financial & Economic 9/11 of 2008* that may be difficult for many to fully embrace. But here it goes:
The OMEN that 9/11 truly was, looks a LOT like THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
Remember the Twin Towers? When they came down in NYC, it was a message to humankind that the reign of the Almighty Dollar was coming to an end. As a nation’s currency goes, so goes its destiny. Her financial strength and economic prowess were on the wane, and soon to be greatly diminished. Just as the World Trade Center (financial capital of the world) was pulverized into dust, the US Dollar would be swept into the ash heap of history. Just as we saw it collapsing all around us, in September of 2008 exactly 7 years after the original 9/11 apocalyptic events.
When the Ring of Power was finally destroyed, like the Pentagon (ring-shaped command center of the military-industrial complex) was mortally wounded and damaged, the message was equally clear. Her military might and superior force would be reduced to rubble in the twinkling of an eye. She would, likewise, soon see the demise of Her all-pervasive state-sponsored terrorism. This, because She had lost all moral ascendancy.
Furthermore, the empire could no longer be sustained politically, financially, practically or ethically, as the seeds of its own destruction had fully sprouted. The most fatal seed grew into that extremely corrupt and predatory form of corporate, crony capitalism which was so socially unconscious, and so environmentally unaware, it was quite doomed from the very beginning.
The GOOD NEWS is that the nation – its people – will now be compelled to beat their “swords into plowshares” and their “spears into pruning hooks”.
Just as the Phoenix rose from its ashes, so too will America ascend to even greater heights. As long as She ascends with the guidance of the highest of ideals, loftiest of principles and noblest of intentions. And She reforms, and transforms Herself, in good faith, in earnest and with haste.
As a modern-day prophet said in the days immediately following September 11, 2001:
“America, Wake up! ! ! Seize this God-given opportunity. There is no more time to dally in fear and ignorance and greed. For yours is a destiny that must serve as a beacon of Light and Hope and Peace to the world. Make haste, the time is drawing nigh!”[2]
“Day of Atonement” Never Occurred In America Post 9/11
Instead of humbly conducting the necessary introspection in the wake of 9/11, the United States of America sought to blame its imaginary enemies throughout the world. Even though the 9/11 false flag attacks were conceived and coordinated, executed and covered up by rogue elements within the U.S. Federal Government, America used its anger and vengeance to inaugurate a fake War on Terror… against perfectly innocent people.
However, it was the erection of the new One World Trade Center in the footprint of the previous Twin Towers which has served to offend the spirit of dharma or righteousness. Having opened the Freedom Tower in November of 2014, it serves as a testament to American determination to continue its military and economic domination of the world. Not only is it the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, it is also known in certain circles as a modern-day Tower of Babel, some even calling it “Nimrod’s Tower”. In any case, it is viewed by those in the know as the crowning glory of the New Babylon—New York City.
The following photo of ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER was taken on September 11, 2015, so it appears that this tallest of buildings has received the attention of the heavens. This video well explains the crucial meaning behind the rebuilding an architectural symbol of American hegemony in the graveyard of the fallen Twin Towers. This was the tragic site of nearly 3000 deaths of innocent Americans and foreigners from several nations. And, yet, a sacred cemetery was desecrated and transformed into a new monument of global supremacy.
The Seventh Seal of the Book of Revelation and the Great Tribulation
There is a direct relationship between the opening of the 7th seal in the Book of Revelation and the beginning of the Great Tribulation. Because of the biblical description of what occurs in Heaven and on Earth after that unsealing, it can only be intuited that times of great trial and tribulation would commence. This particular phase of the prophetic process transpires with the blowing of trumpets … seven trumpets … loud and deafening trumpets, which are heard across the firmament. Nothing else on the Hebrew calendar fits that description like what would be expected to occur during the Great Tribulation. The blowing of trumpets (shofars) always accompanies the greatest of celebrations in Judaic history, as well as the gravest of judgments.
Israel and the “Abomination of Desolation”
The Great Tribulation will undoubtedly have the greatest effect on the Modern State of Israel (MSI). The MSI is distinctly different from the historical nation of Israel referred to in the Old Testament. It is also completely different from the modern group of Judaic practitioners of the Jewish religion. Likewise, Israel has nothing to do with the ‘race’ of Jewish people spread across the world via so many diasporas. Nevertheless, many people incorrectly associate the MSI with the Jewish people in general.
In fact there are numerous rabbis and Jewish leaders who find the very notion of a Jewish state to be an abomination and serious sin against the command of YHWH. The original Israelites, and especially those subsequent Jewish communities established via the various diasporas, have been forewarned over centuries about attempts to constitute a Hebrew nation. This well-known biblical admonition is found in the Books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, Ezekiel and Isaiah.
“And if you do not listen to Me, and do not keep all these commandments… and I will scatter you among the nations, and send the sword after you, and your land will be desolate, and your cities destroyed.”
(Leviticus 26:33)
Because the MSI has the greatest concentration of practitioners of the Jewish faith, who religiously adhere to the Hebrew calendar and scriptures, both the letter and the spirit of the sacred Shemitah year was always traditionally observed. That all changed during the past 100 years, however, when neither the letter nor the spirit of the Shemitah have been respected by the Modern State of Israel (read: Israeli government). Hence, what else can be expected but a replay of the “abomination of desolation” via the Great Tribulation.
Jesus identifies the Abomination that causes Desolation as Roman armies that would surround Jerusalem in A.D. 70 and destroy the temple just as prophesied (as per Luke 21:20-21; Matt. 24:15-18).[3]
But why has the MSI been singled out for such a severe judgment as the one predictably delivered by the Great Tribulation?
Because of the “abomination of desolation”.
Exactly what is the “abomination of desolation”?
Joseph Smith–Matthew states (in verse 12) that the “abomination of desolation” spoken of by Daniel is the destruction of Jerusalem (first in AD 70). Later (in verse 32) it states that the abomination of desolation will be fulfilled again when Jerusalem is subject to much destruction before the Second Coming of Christ.[4]
Why is it that Jerusalem should be destroyed to the point of desolation not once, but twice over the course of two millennia?
It ought to be understood by all concerned parties that the Jewish people have been — prophetically — forewarned not to establish a state. Not only did they disobey such a divine injunction, they disobeyed it in the worst possible ways. Today, the Modern State of Israel notoriously stands out as a thoroughly rogue nation and criminal enterprise. The very formation of the country in the mid 1940s was predicated on outright terrorism, just as its continued maintenance today relies on the same repugnant terrorist methods and false flag attacks.
From the Palestinian point of view, the Israeli Government is now seen as an assemblage of serial killers and mass murderers who have formed a Nazi state complete with walled off concentration camps. The Palestinians have also been the victims of so much outright theft of their land and their homes, their olive groves and other property that Israeli settlers are viewed as incorrigible thieves and robbers of the first order, who steal with virtual impunity. Every Palestinian in the Mideast knows well the literal incarceration that the MSI has imposed on them by way of Israeli apartheid. This uniquely cruel and inhuman type of apartheid imprisonment has paralyzed Palestinian society.
Truly, the Modern State of Israel has become a veritable “abomination of desolation” through it actions and inactions. Not only because of its appalling treatment of the Palestinians, but also because of its incessant bellicose behavior toward its neighboring Muslim nations has the MSI become an “abomination” in the sight of the Lord.
In light of the fact that the Jewish people, especially those who have a developed conscience, are fully aware that the spirit of the Shemitah has been consistently and profoundly violated … those enlightened souls know that there can be only ONE outcome —the Great Tribulation.
Zionism and the Mark of the Beast: “666”
Many revisionist historians and bible researchers have gone so far as to identify the international Zionist Movement as the true source of the “666” mark of the beast. Because the USA has been thoroughly controlled by Zionist neoconservatives, who are directly responsible for so much warmongering worldwide, anyone who aligns with them in spirit or in practice figuratively wears the badge of “666”. How so?
The Star of David has the number “6” written all over it. Not only is it a 6-pointed star known as a hexagram, it is formed by the 6 sides of two interpenetrating triangles. It also has 6 smaller triangles as well as 6 angles around its perimeter. In short the Star of David, which defines the Israeli national flag, represents the quintessential geometric form possessing “666” numerology.
Unknown to most, the Star of David (although quite ancient going back to the Vedic period of India) is actually a fairly recent symbol adopted by 19th century Jewish communities in Eastern Europe. It became increasingly popular during the later decades after the Zionist movement was born and gained traction throughout Europe. The hexagram has since been incorporated into the flag of Israel and has come to be the most recognizable symbol of international Zionism. Because of Israel’s highly combative and uncivilized behavior, their national flag has also become a symbol of war crime and apartheid, state-sponsored terrorism and institutionalized law-breaking. Surely, the Great Tribulation will not be kind to the Modern State of Israel.
The USA, the MSI and the Great Tribulation
The United States of America has been joined at the hip with the Modern State of Israel since its very inception in 1967. This has posed a great problem for the USA and the world. Because the U.S. Government has been controlled by agents of the Zionist movement, as well as many dual citizens (U.S.-Israel), American foreign policy has been dictated by the various hidden agendas being implemented by Zionism.
The past 14 years has seen a great acceleration in the execution of those furtive plans because they have been numerologically and astrologically formulated over the centuries. In point of fact, each historic date and pivotal location have been chosen quite purposefully. Those clandestine powers are moving the entire planetary civilization inexorably toward the climax of the Great Tribulation.
Consequently, the USA will also experience the exceedingly dramatic and powerfully transformative effects of the Great Tribulation. In some schools of thought the USA is referred to as the “New Israel”, New York City as the “New Jerusalem”, and therefore vulnerable to the same fate or fortune that always accompanies the Great Tribulation.
Because the USA evolved over the past two plus centuries as a Judeo-Christian national entity, the very fabric of society has been interwoven with both Jewish and Christian beliefs and philosophy, custom and ritual, traditional feasts and calendrical observances. So inextricably intertwined have the destinies of both nations become that what fate one suffers, the other will as well. Hence, the Great Tribulation will manifest in ways that will forever alter the nature of that highly consequential ‘partnership’.
Conclusion
The only conclusions which can be drawn from this discussion are at once apocalyptic and climactic, revelatory and imminent. After all “the writing’s on the wall”, just as it was during the time of Daniel when this ancient phrase was written and uttered moments before the fall of Babylon. To ignore the many portentous connections between biblical events and modern-day happenings would be self-deluding. It is in times like these that facing the truth, no matter how difficult that may be, is preferable to moving forward in the state of dangerous ignorance.
The workings of the MOEDIM are both flawless and unwavering. Just as the firmament has been designed and constructed according to certain natural laws and divine timing, so, too, have the mundane affairs of humanity. The “Chosen People” were explicitly chosen to perform this weighty role during these End Times. For this reason the world has been dominated by those Judeo-Christian nations throughout the modern era. The global village marks its time based on Greenwich Mean Time as determined in the United Kingdom. Likewise, the English-speaking countries have controlled the two most recent world empires which have evolved into the Anglo-American Axis (see Glossary below). Who can deny that the Almighty Dollar has reigned supreme for a century?
However, it is the power behind the American throne that really controls the destiny of both the USA and therefore the world-at-large. The opening of the seventh seal will reveal much of what has been hidden during the present Kali Yuga. Like all the ages, this Iron Age contained the seeds of its own dissolution. Those seeds have since sprouted into fully grown trees which have come to define the predominant transnational corporations and governmental bodies, scientific institutions and academic systems that effectively rule the realm.
Over the course of time, each of these entities has devolved into a condition that has become self-destructive and predatory. Because they have so completely outlived their usefulness, they must be allowed to collapse into their own footprint just as the Twin Towers did. The question now remains: How willing will the people be in letting go of what no longer serves them or the highest good?

Author’s Note
The whole world is about to make an unparalleled rite of passage. Each resident of the planet will be passing through the eye of the needle at the same time and in their own way. Because of the unprecedented series of global events which accompany the Great Tribulation, a great leveling will soon take place. Therefore, it’s imperative that folks everywhere become practitioners of peace and reconciliation.
You see, the way this game is about to be set up is that it will only be through collaboration and cooperation that progress will be made. Because real community has been so fractured throughout the Western world, this issue will be addressed by the Great Tribulation. There is currently so much conflict and division, that it’s impossible to even agree on a common cause, much less achieve a shared goal. Conversely, the various peoples of the world have been systematically betrayed by their governments and no longer trust them. Hence, there will be the need to throw off the yoke of tyrannies and despots everywhere save but a very few like Russia.
The success of this onrushing process of global transformation hinges upon honoring the divine purpose behind the Great Tribulation. Every religion and philosophy, culture and society on the planet will certainly experience their own form of Great Tribulation. They all hold high certain noble principles and truths, inviolable precepts and laws which must be respected if there is to be DHARMA (also known as righteous order and universal law). For without the adherence to dharma, there will only be chaos and confusion; after all the inevitable war and ensuing conflict.

Anglo-American Axis:
The Anglo-American Axis is represented, first and foremost, by the major English-speaking countries of the world: USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel. The European member nations of NATO, such as Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands are also closely aligned with the AAA as are all the Scandinavian countries. So are the Asian Pacific Rim nations of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar also owe their allegiance to the AAA but some of these may be changing. The World Shadow Government is an ultra-secret, supranational organization which completely controls the Anglo-American Axis, as well as the European Union, NATO, among many other institutional entities which constitute the Global Control Matrix.
