THE FORMULA FOR THE
YEAR
Ezekiel
says to put to sin of the house of Israel upon yourself and that you
are to bear the punishment for their sins for 390 days, and that you
have been assigned the SAME NUMBER of days as the years of their
sin. So, the 390 days of siege is the formula for the year. All we
need to do, to know what year this will happen, is to figure out
what year the Lord determines that the house of Israel began to sin,
and then add 390 years to it.
You
will see that the most in interesting of all is why, where, who and
what is happening within the time frame of 390 years
ago.
I began to
take notice that not only does it say lie down on your left side 390
days. It says after you finish this, lie down on your right side for
40 more days, and bear the sins of the house of Judah.
Judah was the son
of Israel.
Americans acknowledge England
as their mother country and because
they came here to North America and started their first
colony 390 years ago they must be the house of Israel.
That would make us sons of Israel. So, I also began
to think about what was happening for the last 40 years.
Ezekiel
says the house of Judah will be punished for forty days, a day of
punishment for each year of sin, and I thought, “It’s easy. Forty
years ago, the hippie movement began, along with the spread of drug
problems.”
That’s
when the “free love” era began due largely to the advent of the
birth control pill, spreading immoral behavior that permeates
American society even today.
The 1960s
became increasingly obvious to me as the start of this 40-year
period of sin that there will be forty days of suffering coming to
pay for the forty years of sin.
EZEKIEL TELLS WHAT THEIR SINS
ARE
Chapter 8
of Ezekiel describes what the house of Judah was doing. They
were provoking the Lord to anger; there were 25 men with the House
of Judah in the temple, between the entrance and alter—with their
backs turned to the Lord. They were bowing down to the
east.
I can
recall that Eastern religions became popular in our culture
along with the hippies and the drugs during the 1960s. Ezekiel
continues to say, “Have you seen this, the detestable things they’re
doing here, filling the land with violence and continually provoking
me to anger. Look at them, putting the twig to their
nose.”
The
country was experiencing shootings, like in the Columbine
School. I heard
on the news that statistics showed 90 percent of the violent crimes
in our country are drug-related. And they are “putting the twig to
their nose” is likely a description of snorting cocaine
or crack, a common form of drug abuse today.
There has
been a deteriorating change in morality in our country over the last
40 years. The highest court in the land declared that it is against
the law to pray in school. This is totally contrary to the
constitution that says Congress shall make no law restricting the
freedom of religion or the practice thereof.
Praying is
talking to God and certainly an act of practicing one’s religion,
but the Supreme Court declares that it is now against the law to
pray in school. So not talking to God is the same as
turning our backs on Him.
As a
nation we entered into an era where the schools have been left
without a prayer. Days of being in trouble for chewing gum in class
are gone and the days of shooting guns in class have
come. Previously unheard of but now common are drive by
shooting and snipers killing innocent victims at random.
Each and
every line of these verses without exception depict today's
society with alarming accuracy.
FORTY YEARS OF SIN CONFIRMED AT REVIVAL CONFERENCE FOR
MEN
In
September of 1999, I attended a Promise Keepers revival conference
for men in Stockton, California.
Promise
Keepers hosts many gatherings nationwide in sports arenas and
football stadiums, capable of hosting 20,000 to 30,000 people. There
were four speakers that day, two in the morning and two in the
afternoon. I was standing in the back where they were selling
refreshments with my Bible open, pointing to the verses in
Ezekiel—telling other Christian men about how my left leg and
left arm had been broken, and I showed them the verse that I turned
to as soon as I came home from the the Hospital that says, “Lie down
on your left side under siege for 390 days.”
And I told
them that I had discovered that this is talking about us, that 390
years ago our country is beginning with the first English colony,
and that the 40-year reference pertains to our present-day
society—the baby boomer generation. I was explaining to them that
THIS IS A SIGN, and that Ezekiel says that it’s a sign right before
it says “Lay on your left side.”
“The Lord
is revealing to me these scriptures, and they all fits us,” I
told them.
I
explained to the men in Stockton how the Book of Ezekiel is
telling us when the end will come by the 390 years of sin and
the 40 years of sin and strangely enough those numbers have
significance to us today.
Then as I
was just finishing trying to convince my listeners about my
interpretations, the Lord gave me a confirming sign that I was
definitely onto the true meaning of these scriptures.
The
founder of the Promise Keepers movement, Bill McCartney, a former
college football coach, was the last speaker. He began to talk
about how American society has been drifting away from the Lord
for the last 40 years.
McCartney
spoke for 30 minutes about the decade of the 1960s, and then 30
minutes about the 70s, followed by similar attention to the 80s and
the ‘90s.
I felt a
strange sense of empowerment as I listened to him. I knew that the
Lord was confirming to me that I was not alone in recognizing that
the forty years of sin in Ezekiel pertains to our time.
CONFIRMED
AS AN APPOINTED WATCHMAN
As that
Saturday Promisekeepers meeting came to an end, I stood in the
middle of the football field with my cane while people were leaving
all around me. Because of the injuries I suffered that spring had
not healed completely I fought back the pain while thinking about
how I could get to my truck that was parked a least a mile away.
Two ladies
wearing PromiseKeeper badges approached me and asked me if I was
waiting to be prayed for.
No, I
said, I am resting my sore leg that had been broken, but hadn't
healed. I told them they could pray for the pain to ease and for it
to heal. As the one lady finished praying for my leg, the other lady
began to speak the following words to me. She said the Lord has
called you to be a watchman, He has given you an important job to
do. You are to take this job seriously and not to cast it aside but
to be faithful to carry it out, and not to neglect it.
I began to
cry, because I knew the verses about the watchmen are in Ezekiel 3
right before Chapter 4 where Lie on your left side is. I then shared
with them that the Lord has shown me that our America the Beautiful
was to suffer a nuclear attack and the story of my left arm and left
leg being broken simultaneously and how I came home and opened the
Bible to the verse that says lie down on your left side behind the
wall between you and the city that will burn with fire...
They
called a golf cart to come over and I was given a ride right up to
where m
truck was parked. The Lord does take good care of me
and He has shown me who I am and even sent total strangers to tell
me so that all doubt about it is gone.
I was still using a cane to walk because
of my injuries the previous spring,
NO MAN KNOWS THE HOUR OR THE
DAY
The Lord
has confirmed to me through other sources that we absolutely are who
these scriptures are talking about.
The Day of
the Lord obviously didn’t occur in 1999. But at the end of that
year, as I watched TV on New Year’s Eve an interview by two pastors
and the threat of Y2K was looming.
Many
people were concerned. The pastors were asked, “Is this Y2K event
what the Bible talks about?”
One pastor
responded by saying, “No way. We’re told that no man knows the hour
or the day. So it cannot possibly be at midnight on New Year’s
Eve.”
The other
pastor said, “But we do know the time is at hand, because II Peter 3
talks about the present heaven and earth are reserved for fire, kept
for the day of judgment and the destruction of ungodly men. But
we’re not supposed to forget one thing, with the Lord a day is like
1,000 years and 1,000 years are like a day.”
He
explained that from the beginning of Adam until the time of Noah,
approximately 2,000 years passed. From the time of Noah till the
time of Jesus, another 2,000 years had passed. And from the time
that Jesus came till now a third set of 2,000 years had
passed.
That’s
6,000 years, and the Bible talks about the New Age—the millennium
being 1,000 years of peace on earth. He explained that in God’s
economy of time there are six days of work, and then the seven day
is the day of rest.
I liked
that explanation, because the work is the harvest. And we’re told
when it’s time for harvest, first we’re going to gather the tares or
weeds and burn them. And then we’ll put the wheat into to the barn,
the tares being the ungodly and the wheat being the righteous. The
third of mankind being killed by fire, smoke and sufur in
Revelations 9 are logically the tares/ungodly being burned.
COMING- A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH, THE HOME OF
THE RIGHTEOUS
We’re told
that we should look forward to the Day of the Lord, and in speed
it’s coming—for elements will melt in the heat. (more evidence of
nuclear activity) Even though the elements will melt in the heat, we
are looking forward to a new heaven, a new earth, the home of the
righteous.
That same
New Year’s Eve, various TV broadcasts also mentioned one of the
major events occurring in the last 100 years—in recapping the
previous century, they mentioned a significant milestone in the
advancement of the human race. In 1960, the birth control pill
became available and widely distributed, and it caused a sexual
revolution.
I went
back to the history book, and read about how the original 600
Englishmen who came, and only 60 of them survived. By the spring of
1610, they had abandoned the colony and were going down the James
River—when they met more ships just arriving from
England.
And they
were turned around, before returning in an attempt to establish this
colony. So, I reasoned that in 1609, the colony didn’t begin—it was
only a failed attempt to establish a colony. I decided that the
colony was really established in 1610, because 1999 had come and
gone, and the end-time disaster hadn’t happened.
So I
became convinced that the introduction of the birth control pill in
1960, plus 40 years adds up to the year of 2000—and the starting of
the colony 1610 plus 390 years adds up to the year 2000 as
well.
I CONTINUED TO SPREAD THE LORD’S
MESSAGE
I continue
to tell all my friends and business associates, and family members
that the Lord has told me what’s going to happen.
America is going to
suffer a multiple nuclear attack. Only a few agreed with me. I began
to understand what Ezekiel 3 says: that the Lord has appointed me as
a watchman who is being sent to stubborn and obstinate people who
are not going to listen to me, because they’re not listening to the
Lord.
I will try
to share with you some of the many things accumulated in my mind,
continuing to convince me that I needed to be warning everyone about
what’s coming—and I felt the burden of the watchman, who is told:
“If you don’t tell them, you will be held accountable, their blood
will be on your hands.”
As I kept
watching, another alarming piece of information occurred on January
14, 2000, the beginning of new Russian administration under the
leadership of Vladimir Putin. To start with the first action taken
was, the Russian Parliament reversed its longstanding nuclear arms
policy, now authorizing the use of their nuclear weapons for a first
strike. I have watched the pieces falling into place; the stage is
being set; events are taking place that no man can change. This is
the time for the fulfillment of all things.
THE BIBLE PREDICTS THE
SEASON
I began to
understand what is going to happen because Jeremiah 8 tells us: “The
Lord is going to take away their harvest, and give them poisoned
water to drink. The leaves on the trees will wither.”
This is occurring as the result of nuclear fallout.
Scientist call it a nuclear winter. And Ezekiel 5:9 says, “Because
of all your abominations, the Lord is going to do the likes of which
has never been done before, and will never be done
again.”
I began to
see the positive side of that. It’s talking about a crop failure,
caused by radiation contamination that happens like Isaiah 18 says,
before the Harvest—390 days of siege, following the nuclear attack
will bring you full circle in the annual cycle to the time of
harvest again the next year, and the food supply will then be
replenished.
Add 40
more days and that makes a total of 430 days. Certain varieties of
crops require a longer growing season.
Numerous
other passages confirm this. In Isaiah 32, it says that in “a little
more than a year, you who feel secure will tremble; the grape
harvest will fail, and the harvest of fruit will not
come.” Verses like these open up your understanding to
the fact that the entire context before and after are also
pertaining to this same end-time of distress, like Isaiah
33....people are burned to lime (pile of white dust, thermal nuclear
fire).
ADD YEAR
TO YEAR
Like a
hammer driving a nail home the Lord drives my understanding a little
deeper with Isaiah 29:6 ...the Lord will come
with thunder, and earthquake, and great noise, and whirlwind, and
with tempest and the flames of a devouring fire, a complete list of
the characteristics of an atomic bomb with internal temperatures
reaching up to ten million degrees and winds of four hundred miles
per hour. After I recognized what this passage of scripture was
describing, I scanned the preceding context starting with the
beginning of the chapter. Chapter 29 of Isaiah begins with ADD YEAR
TO YEAR....and then words I recognized from Ezekiel 4 like besiege -
set up siegeworks - encamp; then the suddenly and instantly (like a
detonating bomb)the Lord will come with.... the atomic bomb.
The instructions from Isaiah 29 to add year to year pertain to
Ezekiel's formula that the number of the days of siege are the same
number as the years of their sin.
Again the
Holy Spirit has led and guided me to one scripture after another
like someone who is completing a connect the dots
puzzle. The verses connect one to another and the outline
of the end time events are very real and confirmed to me.
The
Lord has revealed his plans to me just as Amos 3:7 says: Surely the
sovereign Lord God will do nothing, without first revealing His
plans to His servants, the prophets.
I
understood—a little more than a year—to be talking about the 390
days of siege in Ezekiel 4—that had never been done before, and will
never be done again. In Joel 1, it says, “despair you farmers over
the loss of the wheat and the barley because the harvest of the
field is destroyed. The fig tree is withered; all the trees are
dried up” and the context soon tells that it all about the
"Day of the Lord"
Isaiah 18
says the “birds will feed on them all summer.” I focused on the
words “all summer,” and I thought if you work all day you’ve started
at the beginning of the day. I began to understand that this
disaster is going to happen somewhere around the beginning of the
summer. But I became totally convinced, as I was reading Matthew 24
where the disciples asked Jesus, “Tell us when this will
happen”—talking about the end of the age.
Jesus
answered, “Learn the parable about the fig tree and all the trees.
When you see the leaves come out, and the branches are tender, by
this you know that summer is near. When you see these things, behold
it is right at the door.”
SIGNS FROM THE SUN AND THE MOON
So, even
though he goes on to say, “No man knows the hour or the day,” he is
definitely telling us exactly which month this will happen. The sun
is the indicator of when summer begins; it’s the summer solstice,
the longest day of the year.
Genesis
1:14 the sun and the moon are not only for separating the
night from the day but are also to serve as signs. Signs that
indicate when the time of the end will come is what it means,
because this anticipated sudden destruction comes at night during
the phase of the new moon and at the time of the year when the days
are the longest.
OK, THEN TWELVE MONTHS LATER IT WILL
HAPPEN
After
summer had come and gone in the year 2000, I found in the Book of
Daniel that the dream about the enormous tree—which Daniel
interpreted for the king—that it represented the king’s kingdom.
I became
convinced it would happen in the year 2000, because of the adding up
of the years of 1610—the start of the colony of Jamestown—plus
390 equal 2000.
And 1960
plus 40 years equaled the year 2000. I had arrived at these numbers,
and was overwhelmingly convinced that it was a double confirmation
that I was right.
Already
convinced the Lord was revealing the timing of the end to me because
I had been adding up the years, just like the verse in Isaiah
29 that starts with instructions, “add year to year” followed
by similar words in Ezekiel 4, like “besiege,” “encamp,” “set up
siege works,” “lay siege,” “brought low,” and “lie
down.”
Until
Isaiah 29:6 says the Lord is coming, with thunder, windstorm, loud
noise, tempests and the flames of a devouring fire—all
characteristic of a nuclear bomb.
So, this
verse about “add year-to-year” verified to me that I was doing the
right thing by adding the 390 years to 1610, and the 40 years to
1960. I thought, “That would be just like the Lord, to bring the
whole world to a point of great concern—such as the Y2K event and
then have nothing happen.”
This would
make people think that it’s clear sailing from here on out.
But 1Thessalonians 5:3 says, “While people are saying,
‘peace and safety,’ destruction will come upon them suddenly as
labor pains on a pregnant woman and they will not
escape.”
I became
convinced the summer of 2000 qualified for the timing of this verse
as well. All the computers continued to operate flawlessly after
Y2K. The society let out a sigh of relief. Now that everything
appears to be safe and back to normal, the disaster will come
suddenly.
But that
summer came and went. The farmers began to reap the harvest, and I
went back to the scriptures—trying to understand, “How is it that it
didn't happen?" My faith is strong that the scriptures
are complete and without exception every single verse will come to
pass with impressive precision.
That’s
when I found in the Book of Daniel that Nebuchadnezzar’s kingdom was
taken away 12 months later from the time he was told that it
would happen. We are told in Corinthians 10:11 that all these
stories from Israel's history are written down as examples for
us on whom the end has come!
So, I
though that possibly it will be like what happened to
Nebuchadnezzar. I was actually relieved that it was going to happen
12 months later, and I was thankful because I had needed more time
to prepare, but I continued in a sustained high degree of concern to
warn everyone about what the Lord had shown me was going to
happen.
THE WEEK OF THE ATTACK
FORETOLD
In the
fall of the year 2000, I came across a verse in Hosea 5:7, which
says, “They have dealt treacherously against the Lord, for they have
borne illegitimate children. Now, the new moon will devour them with
their land.”
I checked
in another version, and it said, “Devour them and their fields.” And
still another version says “they’ve begotten pagan children.” I had
recently seen a documentary on American college-age youth that were
shaving their heads, covering themselves with tattoos—even including
on their scalps, and the rampant body piercing of lips, eye brows,
noses and tongues; all connected to pagan.
This
is another confirming indictment in the scriptures that
present-day society is performing with exact fulfillment of what was
written thousands of years ago..
On the Day
of the Lord the farmers will grieve because they have suffered the
loss of their crops as Joel 1 previously explained. But a new moon
is a reoccuring event each month. The moon makes a monthly cycle
with four phases, each spanning seven days or one
week.
Other
scriptures have established this is going to happen in the middle of
the night. The moon is the light that rules the night. The coming
nuclear attack is going to be at night, during the phase of the
new moon.
And Jesus
said in Matthew 24, immediately following the Day of the Lord, “The
sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.” Just
like the sun is being darkened by smoke-filled skies, the full moon
could conceivably be visible. But we’re told the moon does not give
its light, and that fits the description during the phase of the new
moon.
MYSTERIES SIGNS REVEALED TO
ME
With great
enthusiasm I devoured large portions of scriptures as the Lord
continued to reveal marvelous mysteries hidden in his eternal word.
I surmised that it is scripturally possible to know the timing of
the sudden destruction called "the Day of the Lord" down to the
week, because in Matthew 24 Jesus said that no man knows the day or
the hour. when this attack will come in the middle of
the night.
I began to
understand this late in the year 2000, but before the
calendars for the new year were available. My curiosity grew
as I wondered about how the timing of the new moon fit in
relationship to the beginning of the next summer. As soon as I found
a 2001 calendar, the first thing I did was look up the month of
June to see what date the new moon fell on.
My eyes
must have been twice their normal size as I looked at the date of
June 21, 2000. Above the large number “21” were the words “summer
begins,” and below were the words “new moon” in the same
date.
Accepting
this as a confirming sign from the Lord, I did not need any further
convincing. With a continuously sustained degree of urgency, I
constantly tried to convince everyone, that I knew the time of the
end was at hand, and there was something we needed to do about it,
and that was to stock up, for the coming nuclear attack, followed up
with the largest land invasion in the history of the world, will
take place with a devastating crop contamination caused by
fallout.
I returned
to pursuing my profession in construction, motivated by the need to
generate income to buy supplies, and to be prepared. But the burden
of the knowledge of what is going to happen so overwhelmed me one
day while I was on the job, that my arms became limp, I set my tools
down, and I began to cry: “How can I keep working, while knowing
that God has shown me what’s coming—a sudden nuclear attack on
American cities? Millions of lives are at stake. I must try to warn
them.”
MY FIRST TREK TO OUR NATION’S
CAPITOL
Still
overwhelmed with my new-found knowledge, I returned home, got on the
Internet, and booked a round-trip flight from Reno to Washington, D.C. I intended to explain the
details about these scriptures, and the parallels that exist between
the scriptures and the current events and the remarkable timing of
the 390 years of sin of the house of Israel with relationship to the
first English colony starting that long ago and the 40 years of sin
of the house of Judah with relationship to the transforming of
American society in the 60's. Add to that the descriptions of the
sinful behaviors taking place that many years ago are what Ezekiel 8
says they are doing.
And so,
that’s how it came to be that I made my first trip to our nation’s
capitol. After I returned home from Washington, I found out
there were crazy rumors that I had been arrested for trying to
break into the White House going around in my hometown, because the
FBI had contacted the local sheriff’s department in doing their
standard check on my background.
My wife
and family were upset with me. They felt humiliated by what I had
done and was telling everyone, and it also didn’t sit well with the
leadership of the church that I belonged to. Even though people
doubted what I said, still they had to wait and see if what I said
was going to happen.
One
Sunday, after church had been dismissed, I was telling some people
who were visitors from out of town what I believed the Lord had
shown me was going to happen, when I was suddenly interrupted by the
pastor who told the visitors: “In no way does what
Everett says represent this
church,” and again in an angry manner the pastor repeated what he
had told me before, to stop talking about this on the church
property.
THE PASTOR
WARNED ME
The
pastor had several times previously asked me not to talk on the
church property about cities being destroyed by nuclear bombs. He
said that I was scaring people, some of whom had stopped
coming.
But I felt
it was more important to obey God than to obey him, for I had read
in Ezekiel 3 that the watchman who doesn’t warn the people will have
their blood on his hands—and the Lord will hold him accountable for
their lives.
So I
continued to tell everyone about the many scriptures that fit the
description of the United States. Then one
day when I was accused of trying to make everything fit, I told
them, “When you go into a shoe store, you try to find a pair of
shoes that fits. What do they say when you find one that fits? ‘If
the shoe fits, wear it.’”
On another
occasion, I was explaining some of the scriptures that pertain to
this end-time destruction and the pastor interrupted me and said,
“That is just your opinion.”
“Yes, it
is,” I agreed wholeheartedly. “And every Sunday morning, you stand
in front of the whole congregation, read some passage of scripture,
and then give your opinion about it.”
I asked
him, “Are you the only one in the church who is allowed to have an
opinion?” He remained silent, unable to respond to my question, but
these responses came instantly to me, and I later realized my
behavior was the description of the watchman in Ezekiel 3 that says
he will be even more stubborn and obstinate than the whole
house of Israel.
