Note: I believe the 7th plague ended in 1948 with Israel being reestablished. When I first came to the truth and consecrated back in 1974 Jim Parkinson believed that we were in the 8th plague of the exodus picturing the plagues in Egypt. That was the plague of locusts brought in by an East wind which Jim suggested was communism. Looking back, I must say that I agree with him wholeheartedly. Click here for a discussion of all the plages of Egypt.

After WWII, communism spread rapidly across:

Eastern Europe (Poland, East Germany, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia)
Asia (North Korea, North Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia)
Africa (Angola, Mozambique, Guinea, Congo, etc.)
The Americas (Cuba in 1959)

Communism's decline began between 1985-1991 with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It was then blown away by a "very strong West wind" representing capitalism causing the Collapse of Communism. We pondered for years what the 9th plague would bring.

9th Plague Exodus 10:21 Darkness for 3 days.

When COVID hit (end of 2019-beginning of 2020) and I saw the streets of New York City empty of cars, as people were told to stay indoors and to wear masks preventing us from seeing each other's faces, it didn't take me long to realize COVID was the 9th plague. And that it was going to last for three years. Which is how long we had to put up with being masked! Exodus 10:22-23 “So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and total darkness covered all the land of Egypt for three days. 23No one could see anyone else, and for three days no one left his place. Yet all the Israelites had light in their dwellings.” Because the Lord gave us the use of Zoom which has benefited us especially as our numbers have been substantially decreasing. Reminding us of Isaiah 57:1-2 “The righteous perish, and no man lays it to heart; merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. 2They enter into peace; they rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.” I like Jim Parkinson's understanding. He says Christianity is being ignored today so that Christianity cannot be blamed for the coming trouble! Also as stated by Jesus Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.” In other words if Christianity has lost its preserving effect it will be thrown out and trampled. This seems to be what is happening as there doesn’t seem to be any difference between most Christians and non-Christians today.

The Covid 19 Pandemic began at the beginning of 2020 and lasted until the end of 2022 lasting a full three years as I anticipated it would per Exodus 10:23 "No one could see anyone else, and for three days no one left his place". At the end of COVID and realizing it lasted 3 years I began wondering how long the 10th plague was! This can be simply calculated in Exodus the 12th chapter to be 21 days. The same number of days Daniel fasted for wisdom and understanding about the vision. Daniel 10:2-13 “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. 13However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me." Now figuring that the 10th plague begins in the year 2023 if we add 21 years to 2023, we get 2044. That is freaky close to David Rice's figuring the end of 6000 years being 2043. Additionally, on the 10th day of the Passover month, they were instructed to choose a lamb representing Jesus for sacrifice. Adding ten years to 2023 we get 2033. It appears noteworthy that the year 2033 marks exactly 2000 years since the first advent of Jesus. Discovering this I have to admit I began freaking out! The question becomes how far do you take this can we ignore it? Should we ignore it? What does it mean to us? Especially to those who say they are Christians and are supposed to love and desire his appearing.

10th Plague Exodus 12

Passover has Antitype for Our Day also.

What really blew me away was discovering the fact that the whole wilderness experience both begins and ends with a Passover event. Think of the wilderness as the gospel age. The gospel age starts with the antitype of the Passover (Jesus slain as the Lamb) and also ends with the anti-type of the Passover (by entering into the promised land). But instead of using day for day at the end, if we use a day for year, we find some very fascinating coincidences. If you wish to call them that.

Now when the Lord instructed Israel to go into the promised land after their 40 years of wilderness wandering, they were instructed to go in on the 10th day of the first month. On that same day, they were also required to select their lambs for the Passover. But there is more! Before they went across the Jordan river the Lord told them to stay away from the ark of the covenant at a distance of 2000 cubits. Then the Lord stopped the Jordan river from coming down at the city of Adam. So that the church would not be affected by Adamic condemnation on their crossing over into the promised land. He had the ark of the covenant placed in the middle of the Jordan river and then told Israel to come and march across. 2000 years → (2000 cubits) takes us to 2033. After they crossed, he then had all Israel circumcised, representing the Church having their flesh cut off and passing, for the most part, beyond the veil of death. Some may at that time still remain behind for the suffering of death at the hands of Nicolaitan type Christians. Just as Jesus suffered under the Pharisees and Sadducees around 2037. I understand that it will likely also be the time that Gog and Magog will come against Israel according to Ezekiel 38.

More Evidence 2023 Begins the 10th plague

One of the more fascinating things about the Jewish people and their understanding of the scriptures which were written to them, is their understanding of the 1260, 1290, and 1335 days of Daniel 12:7-12. Their understanding of the Abomination that makes desolate is the Dome of the Rock which began to be built in 688. 688 is where they begin counting those days of Daniel. 688+1260=1948 this is the date that Israel became a nation as recognized by the United Nations. 688+1290=1978 This is the date of the Camp David Accords.

In September 1978, Jimmy Carter facilitated the Camp David Accords, a significant peace agreement between Israel and Egypt. Carter's mediation efforts were crucial in bringing Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat together. Upon the conclusion of the Camp David Conference, Prime Minister Begin sent a letter to President Carter, in which he reviewed the process of applying the jurisdiction and administration of the State of Israel to those parts of Jerusalem that had been occupied by Jordan prior to the 1967 Six-Day War. He declared that united Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and so it shall be forever. The accords also led to the signing of a peace treaty in 1979, marking a milestone in Middle Eastern relations.

688+1335=2023 As stated above, I believe that 2023 is the same date for which we should begin counting the days of the 10th plague. Notably It is also the date that Hamas began their attack upon Israel (10/7/2023) which killed the largest number of Jewish people since the Holocaust in Germany during WW2. I believe that the retaliation of Israel for that attack will gain them recognition of much larger tracks of land that will be taken from their enemies. It is a fascinating thing that is consistent with the Scriptures that at this time those that attack Israel will lose. But the question is how long will it take their enemies to learn?

Two Days = 2000 years

Exodus 19:3-19, “…And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto you in a thick cloud, so that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever… 10And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow [2 days] 11And be ready against the third day: for the third day [the millennial day of the Lord] the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai… representing the kingdom of Israel and specifically Jerusalem. per- Galatians 4:25 “Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.” Exodus 19:12 “And you are to set up a boundary for the people around the mountain and tell them, 'Be careful not to go up on the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.” This is what is happening to Hamas today since 2023!
Hosea 6:2 “After two days he will revive us; on the third day [the millennial age which may begin 2033-2044] he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence.” The thought presented here by Hosea may have reference to the statement of Moses to Pharaoh that they were to take a “three-day journey into the wilderness to sacrifice to the LORD our God as He commands us”. Hosea 1:11 Then the people of Judah and of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint for themselves one leader [Jesus] and will go up out of the land. For great will be the day of Jezreel.
When making a peace offering sacrifice to the Lord, one must eat the sacrifice within two days. Leviticus 19:6 Romans 5:1“It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it or on the next day; anything left over until the third day must be burned up.”
Story found in Genesis 40 When Joseph [representing Jesus] was in prison, he interpreted dreams for Pharaohs [representing God] Cupbearer [representing Israel] and Baker which Pharaoh had thrown into prison. Both dreams were about a three-day period. As it happened, the third day was pharaoh's birthday. A large feast was made, and the cupbearer was restored to his position [as is happening now] but the Baker’s head was removed. Joseph asked the cupbearer to remember him for the goodness he had shown him when he was restored. But the cupbearer forgot about what Joseph had done for him for two years until another dream needed interpreting. The cupbearer represents the Jewish people who have forgotten about what Jesus tried to do for the Jewish people. Now 2000 years later it seems that the Jewish people may be about ready to receive Jesus as their Redeemer. the Jewish people who have forgotten about Jesus will yet be the “chief cupbearers’’ [teachers of the word of God the new wine during the kingdom millennial age] Genesis 40:23 to 41:1.
Matthew 26:1-2 “When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples, 2“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.” Now at this end of the age after 2000 years, it may yet be the last of his body members that will be handed over to be killed. Maybe around 2033-2037.
John 2:1-11 “On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there; 2and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding. [two days of preparation, 2000 years then the wedding occurs on the third day.]” So many of these two-day accounts seem to give us hints of the actions to take place at the end with their antitypes.
In the parable of the good Samaritan Luke 10:33-37, the Samaritan gave two denarii (representing two days wages) to the innkeeper telling him to take care of him till he returns. 2000 years later.
Jesus spent two days (day for a thousand years 2Peter 3:8) “with the Samaritan woman which many believe represents Jesus’ spending 2000 years with the Gentiles taking from them a people for his name Acts 15:14. Read John 4:4-47 Note what happens after he returns from the Samaritans John 4:43-54 “After two days, Jesus left for Galilee. 44Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown. 45Yet when He arrived, the Galileans [unexpectedly] welcomed Him. They had seen all the great things He had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they had gone there as well.46So once again He came to Cana in Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. And there was a royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. 47When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.” As stated by Paul in Romans 11:26 “So all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. 27for this is the covenant from Me to them, when I shall take away their sins.”
In Luke 13:32-33 Jesus replies to some Pharisees warning him that Herod wants to kill you “But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.’ 33Nevertheless, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not admissible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.”
In Mark 14:58 and referring to John 2:19 it states, “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another, not made with hands.’” In the same way Jesus was in the grave parts of three days. The point is the church gets raised on the third day. Meaning the third Millennium. 2033 begins that third millennial day since Jesus died and rose again in 33AD. Hebrews 9:11, Daniel 2:34, Daniel 8:25.
When Jesus raised Lazarus, whom he loved, I believe the phrase “whom he loved” also refers to the ancient worthies Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. While Lazarus had become sick and died, Jesus was on his way out of Israel crossing Jordan. John 10:39-42 “At this, they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped their grasp. 40Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptized, and He stayed there. 41Many came to Him and said, “Although John never performed a sign, everything he said about this man was true.” 42And many in that place believed in Jesus.” And there he spent two days John 11:6 with the gentiles at which point he returned and then raised Lazarus from the dead. For 2000 years Jesus watched the offspring of those whom he loved (Shem’s children, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) die as a nation and then he spent 2000 years with the gentiles whom he desired as his Bride who lived in the tents of Shem Genesis 9:27. Now he has returned and is in process of raising Lazarus representing Israel, returning them back from the dead after four days = four thousand years. John 4:11 Romans 11:28 “Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs.” Note 2000 years before Jesus’ death is the time of Abraham's birth in the days of Shem.
When the Israelites did evil in the sight of the Lord, he sold them into the hands of their enemy Eglon king of Moab for 18 years. The account is found in Judges 3:12-30. That 18 years represents 1800 years that Israel served the gentiles during their diaspora. Then the Lord raised up Ehud, representing Jesus, who crafted a double-edged sword representing the Bible, and used it to slay Eglon, king of Moab representing Papacy. There is much more to the battle that overcame Eglon but that is not my purpose here. That 1800 years brings us to 1833 the time frame of the cleansing/building the spiritual sanctuary. Israel’s next judge is Deborah. Judges 4 Deborah was raised up after Israel had again served their enemy Jabin king of Canaan due again to their disobedience for 20 years representing 2000 years. That again brings us to 2033. Deborah was the only woman judge of Israel thereby representing the Church which ultimately saves Israel from their destruction. As it is written in Romans 11:26 the deliverer (the Church head and body) will come from Zion, and he will remove ungodliness from Jacob.
Solomon dedicated 7 years to constructing the house of the Lord 1Kings 6:38 and 13 years to building his own residence 1Kings7:1, totaling 20 years, symbolically representing a period of 2000 years.
After Moses dies, God tells Joshua… Joshua 1:10 “Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people: 11“Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Prepare your provisions [two days] for within three days you will cross the Jordan to go in and take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess. ” Two days preparation (2000 years) 3rd day cross… NOTE: The third day here stated is the 10th day of Passover the very same day they were also required to select a Lamb and cross over, all males are then circumcised = Church having their flesh cut off = going beyond the veil. Also: the day they were told to stay 2000 cubits away from the ark of the covenant… again 2000 years.

The Seven-day/year Feast of Unleavened Bread 2037-2044

This is when Israel actually left Egypt after the slaying of the firstborn. I believe this may be the time to fulfill Isaiah 66:19-22 “I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from among them to the nations—to Tarshish, Put, and the archers of Lud; to Tubal, Javan, and the islands far away who have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. So, they will proclaim My glory among the nations. 20And they will bring all your brothers from all the nations as a gift to the LORD on horses and chariots and wagons, on mules and camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the LORD, “just as the Israelites bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.” 21“And I will select some of them as priests and Levites,” says the LORD. 22“For just as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will endure before Me,” declares the LORD, “so your descendants and your name will endure.” This would also be the time that the Jewish people that still remain in the gentile lands leave and return to their homeland of Israel to fulfill Ezekiel 39:28 “Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land and have left none of them anymore there.” & Ezekiel 36:10. “I will multiply the people upon you—the house of Israel in its entirety.”

This seven day/year Feast of unleavened bread (part of the Passover) period may also correspond well to the time of Ezekiel 39:9-10 “Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out, kindle fires, and burn up the weapons—the bucklers and shields, the bows and arrows, the clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel. 10They will not gather wood from the countryside or cut it from the forests, for they will use weapons for fuel. They will loot those who looted them and plunder those who plundered them, declares the Lord GOD.”

Russia is now producing and using several categories of weapons designed to burn, ignite, or create intense heat—incendiary weapons—and this has been documented repeatedly in 2024–2026. Speaking of Russia in Ezekiel 39:2-3 “I will turn you around, drive you along, bring you up from the far north, and send you against the mountains of Israel. [Probably in 2037] 3Then I will strike the bow from your left hand and dash down the arrows [incendiary missiles] from your right hand.” These arrows/missiles likely will drop into the hands of Israel (maybe with the use of Lasers) which Israel will then use for fuel for the following 7 years. Thus, God’s name will never be profaned again. This then ends God’s permission of evil possibly beginning in 2044 the end of those 7 years of burning the weapons of war. After entering into the kingdom age, that kind of power will cease to be needed. Possibly switching from fission to fusion which scientists are now working on.

Then the Great Company of Revelation 7:9 will then understand and say “The harvest has passed, the summer has ended, but we have not been saved” Jeremiah 8:20.

John 13:19 “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am who I am.”

John 14:29 “I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.”

Isaiah 42:9 “See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.”

Whether I have this correct remains to be seen. I present it as a possible and likely scenario.

Blessings to you who have an ear to hear in the Name of Jesus Christ,
