CHAPTER ELEVEN
A Budding Cross
THE DAY OF RENDEZVOUS
12 days after Christmas many churches celebrate Epiphany on January 6, as “the manifestation of Christ to the gentiles as represented by the Magi.” (Definition from Oxford languages) (Mat.2:1-12) This is another day with dubious roots, but with a sweet fragrance of truth in its flowers, because there is a different understanding to the word epiphany than a child getting visitors. Epiphany is surely a manifestation, yes, but implying the sudden and unexpected appearance of a divine or supernatural being. Jesus certainly was Divine, but as far as the eye could see, not supernatural, but just another normal human baby.
In any case, with the mistaken belief that Christ was born on Christmas day it would have been impossible for the Magi to travel the distance from Babylon (Dan.2:10,27, 4:7, 4:9, 5:11) in the East to Bethlehem in just 12 days.
However, this is feasible if the Bible is correctly interpreted. What happened was that the Magi saw the star Regulus (meaning little King) in the star group Leo (= Lion, the symbol of Judah) brighten up in the night sky over Babylon on the night of September 27/28 of the year 8BZ. They put two-and-two together and immediately set off for the land of Judah, with an artificial angelic “wandering star” (electric light) showing the way. This makes it possible for them to reach Bethlehem on January 6th of 7BZ, where they found Jesus no more in a stable, but “in a house” (Mat.2:11). After the crowds of the census (coinciding with the 24th Jubilee celebrations) were gone, there must have at last been a place to stay for the family of Jesus.
But still, the Magi visiting a three-and-a-half-month-old Baby Jesus does not make it an “Epiphany.” There is another reason for this season. The word rendezvous better describes this visit. There are also different major events recorded in the Bible that were specially scheduled to have occurred on January 6, endorsing the fact that it is truly the Day of Rendezvous:
- Isaac was born on December 25 of the year C20131 (1659BZ). On his fourth birthday Abraham gave a weaning party for his son of the Promise (Gen.21:8-21). The next day Abraham sent Hagar and her son Ishmael away on the insistence of Sarah. 11 days later, January 6 became the Day of Rendezvous for the “angel of God” with Hagar.
- On January the 6th, 3 Months before Jesus was crucified, “He took Peter, John and James with him and went up a mountain to pray” (Luk.9:28-36) There Jesus had a rendezvous with Moses (Elishah) and Elijah (Eliah). This vision was a prophetic enactment of the rendezvous that was scheduled for these three persons for January 6, 2023, exactly 1993 years after the transfiguration, when Eliah was spiritually born into the End time, the 277th day after the start of the ultimate Gestation year on April 5, 2022, which was 40 days after the start of the war in Ukraine.
- The Bible says that after she was impregnated (on Christmas eve), Mary at once embarked on a “hurried” journey from her home in Nazareth in the north of Israel “to the hill country of Judea” (Luk.1:39) in the south. In the time when a donkey was the fastest way of transport, the journey took her those 12 days to her cousin Elizabeth who was in her sixth month of pregnancy with John the Baptist. She stayed with her cousin until she gave birth to John on April 6 of the year 8BZ. This puts the birth dates of the two Elijahs on the same calendar day, 1957 years apart. The Bible says that “when Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb…” (Luk.1:41), making January the 6th of the year 8BZ the Day of Rendezvous for Jesus and John, although both were still in the womb.
- January 6 is the day that brought the Magi from Babylon to rendezvous with Jesus in Bethlehem in the year 7BZ.
EPIPHANY
So, let us have a look at what the manifestation really is. Daniel, the Chief of the Magi (Dan.4:9) had a very vivid vision of this epiphany and Jesus endorse it: “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place… then let them which be in Judaea flee…” (Mat.2415-16) It means that the Epiphany was scheduled on the divine calendar for the End time, and just prior to the Great Tribulation, and Dan.10: 1 agrees: “…the time appointed was long…” and again in verse 14 the angel repeat that these things “shall befall thy people in the latter days…”
Daniel says he had a run-up to his vision which started “on the 24th day of the 1st month.” (10:4) Then he also mentions that he fasted, not for three full weeks, but for three weeks of days. (bad translated interpretation. The word translated as “full” is H3117 meaning “day”. This alludes to the Feast of Weeks which incorporates 50 days. In this case, three consecutive sets of them. We already proved that Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was the bell ringing-in the end of the End time, so it is just a matter of putting this run-up in the correct order on the lunisolar calendar for 2022, because the vision of Daniel leads us into the proximity of the Epiphany:
- April 3, 2022: The 1st day of the 1st Month (Saturday/Sunday).
- April 16, 2022: 14th/1st month. The Day of the Curse.
- April 10-16, 2022: Glorious Generation Holy Week.
- April 26, 2022: 24th/1st month. The date in Dan.10:4. Day 1 of three successive Weeks of Days. Counting starts on the evening of April 25 after sunset, altogether 150 days.
- September 21, 2022: The 150day “fast” of Daniel ends at the time of the Prayer for Lillian in the evening of September 21.
- September 22, 2022: This is the first day of this prophetic year of 360 days. There are a few important stations that the Curse will visit during this period.
- December 20, 2022: The Feast of Dedication and the day of the Test of the wool fleece and the Rubicon for the binary End time Witness. A positive answer to the wool fleece test would have been a green light for his calling as the End time Prophet. However, there is a fly in the ointment! Actually, more than one fly. Daniel tells us about one: “But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days…” (Dan.10:13) Persia alludes to the “underworld” and its prince to Satan, who put the world under siege with COVID-19, which was supposed to end on December 20, on the day of the rededication of the Temple, but the 21 days became 360.
- January 29, 2023: 40 days after the Feast of Dedication it is the birthday of Johannes Hendrik, maternal grandfather of Barend.
- April 9, 2013: 70 days later it is the Day of Firstfruits. This is the scheduled day for the resurrection of Ezekiel Ben Buzi after the end of the Curse calendar. However, the fly is still in the ointment.
- July 18, 2023: Another 100 days take us to Mandela-Day. Only after this milestone is reached the “one and twenty days” that Daniel mentions come into play.
- August 8, 2023: Another important milestone is reached when the Curse takes Barend to E-Epiphany, the door that will take the curse to a final walk of 40 days to its demise on September 16.
- September 17, 2023: Epiphany.
FROM RENDEZVOUS TO EPIPHANY
The anointing of Eliah who was spiritually born on the Day of Rendezvous (January 6, 2023), but as we have just seen, his anointing took quite a considerable detour and it is only on Sunday September when a Figure, much like the description Prophet John gives in Rev.1:13-15, but with the difference of being girded with a belt made of gold from Uphaz, will appear to Barend Ben Joseph.
THE VISION
Gold from Uphaz (see Jer.10:9) points to an idol, an Image, which refers to the model after which example humans are created – The Elohim (Gods). The golden belt points to the fact that here it alludes to the Chief of all Idols. The Figure appearing to prophet John was Jesus, (Rev.1:12-16) “the exact representation” (Heb.1:3) of the eternal in the “Unapproachable Light” (1Tim.6:16). The one that will appear to Barend will be the Lord (Adonai) part of YHWH, First Person in the Triune LORD, who will anoint Barend Ben Joseph to become Ezekiel Ben Buzi alias Eliah and Elishah, when He “touches” (Dan.10:10,16) the End time Daniel.
This appearance and anointing will not happen with Barend in isolation.
“And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.” (Dan.10:7)
The Fig Tree starts to bud: Yes, only Barend will see this great Appearance, but those who will be in his presence at the time will experience a fearful Presence, while the rest of the world will only become aware that something unusual happened when COVID-19 gets disabled and hidden, and an ordinary Barend Ben Joseph is suddenly endowed with extraordinary divine powers. Then fear will fall upon the world, and everyone will know that God is with us, “Michael” (Dan.12:21) (H4317 = He who is like God) (Immanuel) is in the world. At last, the fig tree Christ cursed 1993 years ago show new signs of life by sprouting its first buds.
ELIAH + ELISHAH = EZEKIEL BEN BUZI
This is the itinerary for the change from Barend Ben Joseph to Ezekiel Ben Buzi
- The spiritual born day of Eliah: January 6, 2023 – This is, the 277th day since the start of the final Gestation Year which began on April 5, 40 days after the war in Ukraine started, and which was also the date of the spiritual fertilization of prophet Eliah inside Barend Ben Joseph. The Gestation calendar ran for four thousand Gestation years of 280 days each, altogether 1,120,000 days since David killed Goliath, until January 9, 2023, three days after the spiritual birth of Eliah on the Day of Rendezvous. Eliah is the prophet and second Elijah of the Suffering Generation, the first being John the Baptist.
- February 14, 2023: The fortieth day after the Day of Rendezvous it is the Day of the Budding Cross.
- April 5, 2023: This is the Day of the Curse for 2023, fifty days after the day of the Budding Cross. The Jewish wing of the Suffering Generation celebrate the Preparation for the Passover. The Christian wing celebrate Holy Communion two days later on April 7, the spurious day of Good Friday.
- April 6, 2023: This is the Day of Passover as well as the 74th physical born day of Barend Ben Joseph.
- The spiritual born day of Elishah: The Day of the Lord for 2023 (Firstfruits) and on the 279th day after the spiritual fertilization of the life-files of Isa embedded in Barend on the Day of Return on July 5, 2022. Immediately upon the rebirth on April 9, 2023, Elisha “was snatched up to God and to His throne.” (Rev.12:5) Like Moses, Elishah will stay on this “mountain” for forty days.
- May 18, 2023: Descension Day (Ascension Day for the Suffering Generation). This is the fortieth day for Elishah on the mountain. He descends, but is instructed to wait until Day1335, Which is September 11, before he will be anointed six days later and with his Presence begin to proclaim the Budding Cross.
- The spiritual born day of Ezekiel Ben Buzi: Day 1335. Barend Ben Joseph gets anointed on September 17, 2023. This anointing brings the two Witnesses of Rev.11 together in one body, becoming the End time prophet Ezekiel Ben Buzi. This is the day that the prophesy of Jesus in Mat.24:15 is fulfilled: “The Abomination that causes desolation is standing in the holy place.”
THE BUDDING CROSS
The fortieth day after the Day of Rendezvous on January the 6th some concept of love snuggled itself into its own little niche of February the 14th for more than two millennia, using names like ‘Lupercalia’ and ‘Valentine’s Day’. These two feasts are centred around fertility and erotic love, and their roots lie in the choice for temporal life, the love for this world, that the Satan lured Adam and Eve into.
The time has come that February 14 become the day that God intended it for, and change its message from carnal love to Agape Love, which is…
“‘the highest form of love, charity’ and ‘the Love of God for man and of man for God.’ This is in contrast to philia, brotherly love, or philautia, self-love, as it embraces a deep and profound sacrificial love that transcends and persists regardless of circumstance.” (Wikipedia)
THE BUDDING CROSS
Jesus Christ died on a cross to be the manifestation of God’s incorporeal love, when He became the sin offering to redeem humanity from the eternal sin of temporal life and gave His life in exchange for all humanity of the Aion to become His Body and Soul in eternal life. This redemption is revealed when Christians celebrate Holy Communion in Truth and Spirit and thus showing the Oneness of the Body and Soul with Christ, the Head (see Col.1:18-20 etc.)
On Valentine’s Day humans express their carnal love around an icon of a red heart. This will change forever in the Great Tribulation, when authentic steps into the predetermined history of the Aion. Then the heart will be combined with a budding cross to remember the day when YHWH again turned His Anger-Face away from the world and His Agape Love-Face towards the world when he took away the shadow of death that hung over the world ever since Adam and Eve fell in love with a taste for this temporal world.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE X 2
The pic above gives an idea of the Budding Cross. In the centre of the budding cross is a little white heart which signify the self, “crucified with Christ” (Gal.2:20), surrounded with a little red heart that indicates love for the neighbour, referring to all other humans on earth. The big heart is the encompassing Love of God. Together, these three combined hearts illustrate the Great Commandment (Mat.22:37-40) as well as the Golden Rule, which Jesus completed and glorified when he added the obverse, “do (good things) to others” (Mat.7:12) to the reverse side, “do not do (bad things) to others,” as put forward by Confucius.
The three hearts also have a wider interpretation. The little white heart indicates one’s love for the self, the body plus religion or mindset, surrounded by a red heart implying submitting the self to love and respect for all neighbours, bodily plus their religions and mindsets, which the in turn surrender to the Love and Mercy of God. The big heart indicates the Oneness of God, which encompasses all of humanity and nature plus all religions and mindsets.
The “budding cross” indicates the Glorious Generation as the Love of God Resurrects within the world. Then Valentine’s Day will become Budding Cross Day.
THE GREAT COMMANDMENT
“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
(Mat.22.37-40)
In Christianity, a crucifix is the symbol of a dead Christ, while an empty cross is one of a risen Christ. In contrast, a Budding Cross is the sign of a risen Christ for the End time World and as such is not limited to Christianity but meant for every human of every religion and philosophy as a sign of new life. The only mark of distinction will be the decorations within the big heart, the flower, plant, heavenly body or symbol that has a connection in a particular religion or mindset with the Omnipresent God.
In the Budding Cross, the Great Commandment will come to life for the world, because by wearing it every human in the world will show their love for the Divine, no matter what their mental image is of the God they worship. The Budding Cross is a physical representation of the spiritual Mark of Cain (Gen.4:15). For the Glorious Generation it will become a sign of neighbourliness for all humans on earth, despite diverse backgrounds, religions, tongues, and cultures. Thus the Budding Cross is a sign of the brotherhood of all humanity and stands for a proclamation against harmful intentions, whether physically or spiritually, towards any other displayers of the Budding Cross.
In this way universal obedience to the Great Commandment of Love will, like the staff of Aaron, “sprout, bud, blossom and produce almonds.” (Num.17:1-8) Then abstract Love will become manifest and act as the driving force behind an efficacious Moses II, the secular and spiritual Leader of the End time Exodus, to lead humanity on the other side of this spiritual Jordan, called the Great Tribulation.
In the next chapter we will write an open letter to Mr Stephen Hawking, to show him and all those who think like him about God, that there is indeed afterlife for a broken-down computer. If you want to revert to the Index page, click here.
