Pastor’s Letter 2017 was a very special year as it marked our 20th anniversary as a church/ministry. In July 1997, after the Lord raised my Grandfather from the dead, was born again and went to be with the Lord a year and a half later, He started Light of the World Ministries Church with ten to fifteen people hungry for God in our lounge room. The number quickly grew beyond the size of the room - people filled the room to the kitchen as well as outside and were miraculously saved, delivered, healed, restored and transformed. There were unusual signs, wonders, miracles and manifestations of the Holy Spirit.
However, when the priests noticed the numbers growing, they did their utmost to evict us from the annex. The people rose in support and complaint, however, eventually, we had to leave.
“2017 was a very special year for the church.� I, Pastor Anthony (Dad) and Pastor Grace (Mum) then prayed for the Lord to open a door to another venue. A door (including the venue attached to that door) was opened at the Community Centre in Toongabbie. By that stage we had lost over half our people because of the re location, and began the daunting task of re building the ministry, little by little, brick by brick, person by person. Many painful tests, trials and challenges awaited us at Toongabbie, however, people continued to be miraculously saved, delivered, healed, restored and transformed, more so than in our lounge room and Wentworthville put together
We remained there until the Lord moved us to the annex of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church at Wentworthville. Although we did not participate in Catholic worship, the priests of the parish allowed us to use the vacant annex as nowhere else was available. Week after week on a Friday night, We ministered to the people there. Many gave their lives to Jesus, were miraculously saved, delivered, healed, restored and transformed. The numbers grew to approximately one hundred and twenty people.

To this day, the Lord continues to move in mighty ways through signs, wonders and miracles to save, deliver, heal, restore and transform. We now have four meetings a week and each one is growing in numbers and power. Looking forward to the next twenty years.
Over a month after receiving this prophecy, on April the 26th 2017, there was an article published titled, “Darwin could become the launch pad for nuclear war, North Korea warns”. I gave this prophecy at one of our Wednesday night revival fire meetings and prophesied that if we pray against this - if North Korea should launch an attack, God Himself will stop it. I saw three outcomes. Firstly: a vision of the button launching the missile being jammed. Secondly: The missile exploding on launch and thirdly: the missile exploding in mid air or stopping and falling onto the ground or into the sea, clear of civilians.
“This year marks our 20th anniversary as a church/ministry” It was another year of greater signs, wonders, miracles, salvations, deliverances and healings in our church and Body of Christ.
“It was another year of greater signs, wonders, miracles, salvations, deliverances and healings.”
On the morning of Friday the 3rd of March 2017, while my family and I were on holiday at the Central Coast, as my Father, Mother and I were fishing on our boat and praying in tongues. the Lord gave my Mother and I a prophetic message through tongues and the interpretation of those tongues which was, “Koori Ara Mara Sanda.” “Around the time of October/November this year (2017), there will be a great nuclear disaster involving the aboriginal people in Darwin, the Northern Territory. Begin to pray!”
On Saturday the 29th of April, an article by CNN was released stating, “A ballistic missile launched early Saturday by North Korea in defiance of international pressure and at a time of heightened regional tensions appears to have failed. The missile blew up over land in North Korean territory.”
The Lord then said to me, “if the Church rises in prayer and intercession against this , I will stop it! Begin to pray NOW!”

Said US Navy Commander. Dave Benham, a spokesman for the US Pacific Command.
This sign will coincide with a number of major events that will occur in the earth.
The Lord also revealed to me if we continue to pray for this, He will remove Kim Jong-Un, the North Korean leader, from his position, replace him with a righteous leader, unite North and South Korea and there will be a great revival of the Holy Spirit that will spread throughout Korea.
“2017 was another dark year for the world.” On the 23rd to the 27th of September 2017, the sign of revelation 12:1-6 appeared in the stars commencing a very important and significant season in the spirit and natural. Virgo (the woman or virgin) appeared in the night sky (Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman) (Rev 12:1). The moon was situated under her feet (with the moon under her feet) (Rev 12:1). The sun, at her left shoulder (clothed with the sun) (Rev 12:1). The sign of Leo (the King constellation), which is composed of nine stars, but at the time of this sign included an alignment of three additional stars - Venus, Mars and Mercury, creating twelve stars, at her head (and on her head a garland of twelve stars) (Rev 12:1) And the constellation of the snake or serpent (Dragon) to her left (And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon) (Rev 12:3). The startling thing is this sign only appears every seven thousand years - rarer than the Bethlehem star that appeared last year (2016) and the blood moon tetrad that was completed in 2015 - and appeared again this year (2017).

Revelation 12:1-5 (NKJV) “Now a great sign appeared in heaven (the stars): a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.” In Revelation 12:1-6, the Word of God tells us about a great sign appearing in heaven (the stars). The woman represents Israel and Mary pregnant with the Messiah. The twelve stars on her head represent the twelve tribes of Israel. The Dragon represents satan waiting to eat (kill) the Messiah (King Herod ordering the slaughter of every child under the age of two to kill the Messiah) and the child who was born to the woman represents (the birth of) Jesus Christ, the Messiah. Although this is mainly referring to the birth of Jesus Christ, it is also referring to something in the spirit and tells us about a sign that will literally appear in the heavens (the stars).

This sign will mark the commencement of a series of extremely important events on God’s prophetic calendar, including the tribulation and great tribulation period. Is it possible this sign will mark the commencement of the tribulation period as soon as 2017/2018?
seemingly pass through the tail of the constellation to the earth, hence, “His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth.” (Rev 12:4). According to the constellations Virgo, Leo and Draco, Draco (the dragon) is situated in front of the woman with the head of the constellation near Virgo’s womb and will seem as though it is standing before the woman waiting to devour her child when it is born “And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born,” (Rev 12:4). By that time, Jupiter, the king planet - which represents Jesus Christ - has already exited the womb of Virgo, was figuratively born and disappears from sight fulfilling the scripture, “She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.” (Rev 12:5).
For 2018 the Lord revealed the following: 3
Revelation 12:3-5 (NKJV) And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.
The completiom of these signs will commence end time events described in the book of Revelation including;
“In 2018 the darkness will become darker”
1. The sixth trumpet war of Revelation 9:13-21 (World War III) 2. War breaking out in heaven (Rev 12:79) 3. Satan cast out of heaven to the earth (which leads to the appearance of the antichrist and the great tribulation) (Rev 12:9-13) and 4. The woman (Israel and the Church) persecuted by the antichrist. (Rev 12:1317)
Approximately one year after the appearance of the first sign, in September/October next year (2018), the sign of Draco (the dragon) will appear in the night sky near Virgo. At that time the comet 21P/ Giacobini-Zinner will pass by the earth through this very same constellation, creating a meteor storm (shower) that will

2017 was another dark year for the world and in 2018, the darkness will become darker.
movement was born. Isis have been attacking territories along the river Euphrates and have aspirations to overtake the entire Middle East. Israel, and Europe. The description of the army is obviously referring to the number of soldiers in that army and the weapons of war by which they make war on humankind. However, even after such an atrocity, unbelievers still do not repent. It is possible the terrorist movement led by Isis will escalate into a full blown third world war as soon as 2018, however, if God’s people pray, this war will be postponed yet again for the sake of the salvation of souls. Also, it will be confined to the Middle East and Europe. Australia, the U.S.A, and England will be protected. This war will prepare the way for the coming of the Antichrist.
In Revelation 9:13-21, the Word of God reveals a plague that will kill one-third of humankind. The population of the world today stands at approximately seven and a half billion. One-third is approximately 2.3 billion. This plague is obviously a war that will spread throughout the Middle East and Europe. It is also known as “The Sixth Trumpet War” or “World War III”. In 2015, 2016 and this year, people all over the world claimed to hear sounds of a great trumpet blast from the sky with no apparent source to be found. Towards the end of this year, the Lord revealed to me the world is now moving into the sixth trumpet which will see the commencement of this war. Some believe it has already begun with the current terrorist movement, which the Bible states will begin at the Euphrates river located in the Arab world. The Word of God reveals four angels were released who were bound at the river Euphrates. I believe these angels are not holy angels but wicked angels. The fact they were bound suggests they were wicked angels. Holy angels are never bound. Also, holy angels are never responsible for starting wars among men as these angels were. It also suggests they were held back. This disaster has been postponed or “held back” for some time now because of prayer offered by God’s people, however, it must eventually occur. The Euphrates river is situated in the Arab world which is the cradle of Islam. This is where the current terrorist
Despite all this, the Lord has promised to protect His people - those who walk with, obey and serve Him. Therefore there is nothing to fear for as the darkness becomes darker in the world, the light and glory of God will increase in and through the Church (Isa 60:1-4).
“If we continually pray and intercede, God will save, deliver, heal, restore and transform.” 2 Chronicles 7:12-16 states, 12 “Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by
5
night, and said to him “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. 13 When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, 14 If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. 16 For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.” (NKJV).

“We will see greater things with the Lord in 2018”
Richard Pace.
3. He will protect His people and Australia from the antichrist when he comes, and 4. He will bring an UNPRECEDENTED revival in Australia. Get ready! We will see greater things with the Lord in 2018! My prayer is the Lord will continue to bless and protect you and your family throughout the New Year and the years to come. Blessings.
The Lord here reveals if His people (the Church) continually pray and intercede, He will save, deliver, heal, restore and transform. The Lord also revealed to me if His people, especially the Church in Sydney, continually pray and intercede, He will do four key things at this time:

THE
UNLIMITED
ANOINTING sure. The Lord is taking us into a season where He is now releasing the unlimited anointing or anointing without measure, to the Church again.
John 3:34 (KJV) “For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.” John 3:34 (NKJV) “For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.”
What is the anointing? The word “anoint” in the Hebrew means, to rub or smear. Just as you would rub oil on a chicken before roasting it - this is also referred to as “to anoint”, and is the word mishchah (meesh-khaw) or moshchah (mosh-khaw) (4888. Heb. Strong’s), which means, unction, a consecratory gift:- anointing (24x), anointed (1x), ointment (1x). And in the Greek is chrisma (5545. Gk. Strong’s) which means, an anguent or smearing. An endowment of the Holy Spirit:- anointing (2x), unction (1x). The anointing is the power (Grace) of God, the power of God is the manifestation of His presence and the presence of God is the Holy Spirit. (Isa 10:27, 1 Jn 2:20, 1 Jn 2:27).
“The Lord is releasing the unlimited anointing to the Church again.”
1 John 2:20 (NKJV) “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.” 1 John 2:27 (NKJV) “But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.”
Why do we need it? As we already saw, the anointing is the power of God. We cannot do anything in the Spirit without the power of God. The anointing is what makes it possible to or empowers you to know God, walk with God, obey God, serve God and others, move in the gifts, ministries and offices of the Holy Spirit
For the past few months, the Lord has been speaking to me about the unlimited anointing or anointing without mea-

and overcome the enemy. It’s like oil or fuel to a car - a car needs oil and fuel to run. If a car has no oil or fuel, it will not go. So too a person, without the anointing, cannot function in the Spirit and things of the Spirit.

grance of Christ and are to spread that fragrance (anointing) wherever we go (2 Cor 2:15). In Leviticus chapter fourteen, God commanded Moses to tell the priests that if there was a leper (which represents sin and the sinner) in the camp, he was to be taken out of the camp with hyssop (faith, Ps 51:7), wood (the cross), scarlet (the blood of Christ) and two living, clean birds. They then killed one bird and poured its blood into an earthen vessel over running water. They then took the living bird, dipped it into the blood of the dead bird with the hyssop, the wood and the scarlet, then sprayed the leper seven times with the blood. They then released the living bird, and as it flew away, the bloodied feathers sprayed the blood of the dead bird everywhere. (The dead, bloodied bird represents the crucified Christ. The living bird represents the resurrected Christ and we who have been cleansed by His blood, saved and freed).
“The anointing is the power (Grace) of God.”
Psalm 133:1-3 (KJV) 1 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment (unction) upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. “ When an Old Testament priest was anointed for ministry, a ram’s horn was filled with fragrant, anointing oil and poured over his head. The oil ran down his face, through hisd beard, dripped, collected on and stained his garments. The priest had to wear these garments every time he performed his duties, why? Because as he did, the sight of the oil stained garments and aroma of the fragrant oil would waft into his nostrils, reminding him he was an anointed priest of God. We too have been made priests and kings unto our God by His blood and anointed for His service (Rev 1:5-6, 5:9-10). We are to God the fra-
“The unlimited anointing is the anointing without measure”
Once this was done, the leper was cleansed. He was then brought back to the camp and the blood applied to the tip of his ear, the thumb of his right hand and the big toe of his right foot then, on top of the blood, the anointing oil was applied to the ear, thumb and
8
big toe. They then took the rest of the oil and doused him with it. He was then anointed. Notice, first the blood had to be applied, then the oil on top of it. The oil could not be applied before the blood was. A person cannot be anointed without the blood of Jesus. First a person must be born again and cleansed of their sins with the blood of Jesus, then and only then, can they be anointed.
2. He is in you at salvation: He enters your spirit and becomes one with you when you are born again (Jn 20:22) 3. He comes upon you after salvation: You receive the power of God (anointing) after you are born again (Acts 1:8, Acts 2) Eleven Things the Unlimited Anointing Will do in Your Life The anointing,
What is the unlimited anointing? The unlimited anointing is the anointing without measure. In the Old Testament (without Jesus) It was only a double portion anointing (Elijah and Elisha) (2 Kin 2:9). In the New Testament (IN Jesus), it’s the Spirit without measure (the Unlimited Anointing). (Jn 3:34 [NKJV] [KJV])
1. Breaks burdens and destroys yokes (Isa 10:27) (The word “destroyed” here in Hebrew means, to crush or explode into powder. To totally annihilate so that it can’t be repaired or put back together again) 2. Empowers you to do all things (Phil 4:13) (the word “Christ” means, the anointed one and His anointing - Jeshua Maschiach. It’s Jesus and His anointing who empowers you to do all things) 3. Empowers you to bring others to salvation 4. Strengthens you (Phil 4:13) 5. Gives you divine knowledge (1 Jn 2:20) 6. Teaches you (1 Jn 2:27) 7. Brings divine healing (Jas 5:14-15) 8. Gives you authority and power over satan and demons (Lk 10:18-20, Mk 16: 17) 9. Empowers you to raise the dead (Mt 10:8) 10. Empowers you to do the works Jesus did (Jn 14:12) 11. Empowers you to do greater things than Jesus did (Jn 14:12)
“Wherever the presance of God is, the power of God is there also”
Jesus had the Spirit without measure, which means He also had the anointing without measure. If He had the Spirit and anointing without measure, as His children, we do also (Jn 3:34 [NKJV] [KJV], Jn 14:12). We just have to receive and walk in it.
Obstacles to the Unlimited Anointing
The Three Manifestations of the Holy Spirit:
The following can prevent you from receiving the anointing or cause you to loose the anointing:
1. He is with you before salvation: Leading you to Christ and salvation (Jn 14:17)
9
1. Unrepentant sin (Isa 59:1-2) 2. Disobedience (To God and His word) (Judg 16:20, 1 Sam 16:14) 3. Unforgiveness (Mt 6:14-15, Mk 11:25-26) 4. Fear: fear prevents you from receiving from God. Why? Because we receive from God by faith. Fear is the opposite of faith, therefore it can prevent you from receiving and walking in the unlimited anointing. 5. Unbelief: Unbelief is similar to fear. unbelief prevents you from receiving from God. Why? Because we receive from God by faith. Fear and unbelief are the opposite of faith, therefore it can prevent you from receiving and walking in the Unlimited Anointing. 6. What you watch: Demonic or antichristian movies or television programs that brazenly or subtly attack, degrade or oppose the Lord, the Word of God and kingdom of God (Mt 12:34-35) 7. What you listen to: Demonic or antichristian music or teaching that brazenly or subtly attack, degrade or oppose the Lord, the Word of God and kingdom of God (Mt 12:34-35) 8. Occult activities: Practicing or consulting with those who practice the occult. ie. Fortune telling, palm reading, necromancy (contacting the dead), ouija boards, the stars (astrology), star signs (Deut 18:10-15, 1 Sam 28:3-19, 2 Kin 21:1-6, Gal 5:19-21) 9. Abnormal sexual activities: adultery, fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality. etc. (Exo 22:19, Lev 20:13, 15-16, Rom 1:26-27, 1 Cor 6:18-20, 2 Cor 12:21, Gal 5:18-21, Eph 5:3, Col 3:5) 10. Disrespecting, insulting or attacking a man or woman of God (1 Sam 24:5-7, 1 Chron 16:22) 11. Having contact objects in your home: anything that resembles or glorifies the demonic realm or kingdom of darkness
(Deut 7:25-26) 12. Misuse or abuse of the anointing: King Saul abused his anointing and lost it (1 Sam 16:14). Samson also abused his anointing and lost it (Judg 16:20)
“The power of God is hidden in His presence”
How to Receive and Walk in the Unlimited Anointing Syphoning the Anointing The anointing is the power (Grace) of God, the power of God is the manifestation of His presence and the presence of God is the Holy Spirit. (Isa 10:27, 1 Jn 2:20, 1 Jn 2:27). Wherever the presence of God is, the power of God is there also the power of God is hidden in His presence (Hab 3:3-4). Its just a matter of syphoning the anointing, that is, drawing it out from the spirit realm to the natural realm. Also, we must understand the anointing can be increased or multiplied upon a person. It doesn’t necessarily come all at once. we syphon it, receive it, walk in it and it can be multiplied upon us through the following ways: 1. The Word of God: Reading, hearing, obeying and living by the Word of God. The Word of God is “given by inspiration of God’, “God breathed” or “anointed” and contains the presance, power or

anointing of God. When you hear, read, obey and live by it, the anointing increases upon you (Job 29:6, 2 Tim 3:16)
1 Corinthians 13:1-4 (NKJV) 1 “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.”
“The driving force behind the anointing must be the love of God”
2. Prayer: Spending time in God’s presence. The more time you spend in God’s presence, the more His presence rubs off on you and as a result, the anointing increases upon you. 3. Intimacy with God (The same as spending time with God) 4. Obedience (to God and His Word): Because the Word of God is anointed, when you obey and walk in it, the anointing is transferred to and increases upon you. 5. Praise (2 Chron 5:11-14) 6. Worship (2 Chron 5:11-14) 7. Faith: Its by faith in God and His Word we receive and walk in the anointing 8. Association: Anointing by association. Moses transferred the anointing to Joshua. Elijah transferred the anointing to Elisha, Jesus transferred the anointing to His disciples (1 Sam 22:2, 2 Sam 32:8, 18 and 20-22, 1 Kin 19:19-21, Acts 4:13)
Here Paul is basically stating, you could be the most anointed, gifted and powerful man or woman on the face of planet earth, but if you do not have the love of God, walk in the love of God, show it back to God and others and operate in it, the gifts, ministries, offices and anointing will be meaningless and you will be judged for it.
“The anointing can be increased or multiplied”
The Love of God and the Anointing
John 14:21 (NKJV) “He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
The driving force behind the anointing must be the love of God. When we operate in the anointing, it must be in the love of God. If not, you will end up abusing it and it can destroy you, not because it’s God’s will for it to destroy you, but be-
Here Jesus states He will love and manifest Himself to those who love Him.
11
When Jesus mentions the word “manifest”, its indirectly referring to the anointing. Here we see the driving force behind the anointing is the love of God. Jesus manifests Himself or gives us the anointing because He loves us, and He will only give it to those who love Him and keep (obey) His commandments.
Listen to the entire message on The Unlimited Anointing Parts 1 - 4, available at Light of TheWorld Ministries Church.
The unlimited anointing is for every believer. It is available to us, but we have to receive and walk in it. It’s time for the church to start doing so.
“The unlimited anointing is for every believer”
Luke 12:32 (NKJV) “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” As His sons and daughters in Christ, it pleases God the Father to give us the Kingdom. He HAS given us the Kingdom and everything that comes with it including the unlimited anointing. Now we must receive, walk in and function in it. Blessings. Richard Pace.

constantly speaking to me and downloading revelation into my spirit about Bible prophecy, the end times and the book of revelation. Never in all my years of studying the Word of God and the book of Revelation have I ever experienced such a flood of revelation about this. Usually, when the Lord does this, it’s because something significant and extremely important is about to take place and is in itself a sign indicating this. Since the creation of the human race, God has used the stars to communicate to humankind. He created the sun, moon, planets and stars to indicate signs and seasons. “Then God said, “Let there be lights (Sun, Moon, Planets and Stars) in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years.” Genesis 1:14 (NKJV). The word “seasons” here in the Hebrew is mowed (mo-ade), moed (mo-ade), mowadah (mo-awdaw) (4150. Heb. Strong’s) and is referring not so much to spring, summer, autumn and winter (although included in its definition), but more to “an appointment” or “appointed/ fixed time” that is, appointed times or significant events on God’s prophetic calendar. Ps 104:19 states, “He appointed the moon for seasons”. The word “seasons” here is the same Hebrew word used in Gen 1:14 which is mowadah (mo-aw-daw). As Ecc 3:1 states, “There is a time and season (zeman) for everything under heaven.”
Job 9:9 (NKJV) “ He made the Bear (Ursa Major), Orion (A constellation), and the Pleiades (A cluster of stars in the constellation of Taurus), and the chambers of the south” Job 38:32 (NKJV) “Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season? Or can you guide the Great Bear (Ursa Major) with its cubs (Ursa Minor)?” The word “season” here in the Hebrew is eth (ayth) (6256. Heb. Strong’s) and means, time - now, when. A period of time. appointed time. proper time. The Word of God in both instances clearly reveals He created the stars and constellations as signs. Joel 2:28-32 (NKJV) 28 “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. 29 And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. 30 “And I will show wonders in the heavens (signs in the stars) and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.

31 The sun shall be turned into darkness (solar eclipse), and the moon into blood (lunar eclipse or blood moons), before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. 32 And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the remnant whom the Lord calls.
The Dragon represents satan waiting to devour (kill) the Messiah (King Herod ordering the slaughter of every child under the age of two in an attempt to kill the Messiah) and the child born to the woman represents (the birth of) Jesus Christ, the Messiah. The child being a male who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron being caught up to God and His throne represents the resurrected, glorified Jesus, seated at the right hand of God who will return to rule the nations. Secondly, the future: the persecution of Israel and the church by the antichrist. The woman represents Israel - the twelve stars represent the twelve tribes of Israel. The woman also represents the Church - the twelve stars also represent the twelve apostles through whom the church was founded by Jesus Christ. The red dragon with the seven heads and ten horns represents the antichrist and the coalition of nations from which he will rule. the antichrist releasing a flood of water against the woman represents the antichrist’s persecution of Israel and the Church. Thirdly - the present: Although this mainly refers to the birth of Jesus Christ and the persecution of Israel and the Church by the antichrist, it also refers to something in the spirit and tells us about a sign that will literally appear in the heavens. This sign coincides with a major event that will occur on the earth. From the 23rd to the 27th of September 2017, the sign of Virgo (the woman or virgin) appeared in the stars (Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman) (Rev 12:1). The moon was situated under her feet (with the moon under her feet) (Rev 12:1). The sun, at her left shoulder (clothed with the sun) (Rev 12:1). The sign of Leo (the King constellation), which is composed of nine stars, but at the time of the sign included an alignment of three additional stars which are also wandering stars (constantly moving) - which are Venus, Mars and Mercury, at her head (and on her head a garland of twelve stars) (Rev 12:1) And the constellation of the snake or serpent (Dragon) to her left (And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon) (Rev 12:3).
“Since the creation of the hu-
man race, God has used the stars to communicate to humankind.”
Revelation 12:1-5 (NKJV) 1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.” In Revelation 12:1-6, the Word of God tells us about a great sign appearing in heaven. The word “heaven” here is not referring to where God dwells, but in the Greek is referring to the stars in the heavens. Therefore John saw a sign which is literally going to appear in the stars. This sign has a triple fulfillment. It reveals the past, present and future. Firstly, - the past: the birth of Jesus Christ. The woman represents Israel as well as Mary pregnant with the Messiah. The twelve stars on her head represent the twelve tribes of Israel.

However, it isn’t the car being overtaken that has slowed down but the car overtaking it that has accelerated. This is what Jupiter was doing in the womb of Virgo and gives the illusion it was going around in the same place for that period of time. It remained there for 42 weeks (7x6x7 days or 294 days - 7 represents the God the Father, 6 represents Jesus as a man and 7 represents the Holy Spirit). Roughly the degustation period of a baby in the womb give or take a week ot two, After 40 weeks, Jupiter exited the womb of Virgo (the birth of Jesus) and took approximately 7x2 days or 14 days to exit completely. Jupiter entered the womb of Virgo around November/ December 2016 and remained there until the . 23rd of September 2017
Image of the sign of Revelation 12:1-6 taken from Stellarium
Jupiter in retrograde motion The scripture states, “Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.” (Rev 12:2) Jupiter, which is called “the king of planets” or “king planet”, appears together with Regulus, the king star (in Leo - and is also called “the heart of the lion”) and Leo, the king constellation. Jupiter, which represents Jesus Christ (the stripes of Jupiter represent the stripes or wounds of Christ, the red tropical storm raging on its surface represents the pierced side of Jesus and the four red spots on its surface represent the nail scars in His hands and feet), entered and was in retrograde motion in the womb of Virgo. Retrograde motion is when a planet appears to be rotating in loops, that is, moving forwards then backwards, then forwards again. When this occurs, it gives the illusion the planet is slowing down, moving back, speeding up and moving forward again, although it is moving at the same speed and direction. It’s like overtaking a car. The car being overtaken may be moving at the same speed, that is, it may not have decelerated at all but seems to be slowing down against the moving background.

The startling thing is this sign only appears approximately every seven thousand years, rarer than the Bethlehem star that appeared last year (2016) and the blood moon tetrad completed in 2015, and appeared again this year (2017). If you go back a few thousand years on Stellarium, you won’t find it. If you go forward a few thousand years, you won’t find it. These two constellations are common and appear together quite often, however, they only appear with Jupiter in retrograde motion in the womb of Virgo and the twelve stars including Venus, Mars, Mercury, Regulus and the moon in perfect alignment approximately every seven thousand years, if it should ever happen again at all. This sign will mark the commencement of four extremely important events on the prophetic calendar. Including three events following the description of this sign in verses 7-17 which describe:
“God created the stars and constellations as signs”
17
1. The sixth trumpet war of Revelation 9:1321 (World War III) 2. War breaking out in heaven (Rev 12: 7-9) 3. Satan cast out of heaven to the earth (which leads to the tribulation, appearance of the antichrist and the great tribulation) (Rev 12:913)-and 4. The woman (Israel and the Church) being persecuted the anti christ (Rev 12:13-17) Image of the 21P/ Giacobini-Zinner comrt taken from the hubble telescope
This is plainly describing the tribulation period. It is possible this sign will mark the commencement of the tribulation period as soon as 2017/2018. The sign of Revelation 12:1-6 is an indication all these things are about to occur. Now, whether they occur immediately after or in five, ten, fifteen or twenty years after is not so much the issue. The real issue is the Lord is preparing His people for it NOW!
This comet was discovered by Michael Giacobini, on the fourth day of Hanukkah December 1900. The amazing thing is this comet is associated with Israel and the Jewish people, that is, every time it appears, it coincides with a significant event involving Israel. The first time it appeared, it coincided with the very first group of Jews returning to their homeland which occurred around 1883-1903. Michael Giacobini observed the comet for a few months and discovered it has a 6.5-year orbital cycle then lost sight of it. It wasn’t until around 1913 it re-appeared and was re-discovered by Ernst Zinner. He realized this was the same comet discovered by Michael Giacobini and so his name was added to and hyphenated with Giacobini’s name to become Giacobini-Zinner. 21P means the comet is periodic - it’s the twenty-first periodic comet discovered. Haley’s comet is 1P - the first periodic comet discovered. This comet orbits the Earth, right around Jupiter then comes back around. Notice, again, Jupiter, the king planet (Jesus Christ), is involved.
Revelation 12:3-5 (NKJV) 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. These verses also have a triple fulfilment and reveal the past, present and future. Firstly, the past: This is obviously referring to satan as the dragon deceiving and seducing one-third of the holy angels at the rebellion. Secondly, the future: It is also referring to the antichrist and the coalition of nations from which he will rule. And thirdly, the present (near future): Approximately one year after the appearance of the sign of Revelation 12:1-6 (Virgo and Leo), in September/October 2018, the sign of Draco (the dragon) appears in the night sky near Virgo (The virgin, woman). At that time a comet will pass by the earth through this very same constellation. The comet is called 21P/Giacobini-Zinner.
What is fascinating is when you inspect the data concerning this comet according to the “NASA Comet 21P Close-Approach Data” chart, on September the 10th 2018, this comet will re-appear and will make two close approaches to the Earth in the same day. This is not only extremely rare but unheard of. In the column of the chart titled “r” it shows the comet makes its closest approach to the sun at 8am and in the column titled “delta” shows the comet makes its closest approach
18
to the Earth at 16:00 (4pm) (Israeli Standard Time, UTC+02), - two solar bodies on the exact same day in its entire 6.5 year cycle. It comes from the left to the right of the Earth. It is possible, as this comet passes the Earth between the 10th of September and 10th of October 2018, it will create a meteor storm (shower) that will be clearly visible from the Earth. A meteor shower looks like stars falling to the Earth and would have seemed that way to John as he witnessed this vision, hence Rev 12:4, “His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth.” This comet passes above the Earth’s plane then below it. The Earth and the comet have to be in precisely the right place, that is, the Earth has to be behind the comet and the comet has to be close to the Earth to produce this meteor shower.
According to the “Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner Meteor Storm History” chart, this comet only passes through Draco (the dragon), and creates a meteor shower three times in all of history, including its final pass in 2018. The years in red show a meteor storm which occurs when this comet passes the earth.

Comet 21/P close approaches on Yom Teruah chart
September the 10th 2018, when this comet makes two close approaches to the Earth, just happens to be an appointed time, YOM TERUAH (The Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah), the 1st of Tishrei in the Jewish year 5778, which is the day of alarm. This is not only one but two signs falling on a significant Jewish feast. In the Old Testament a trumpet was blown to indicate the commencement of a significant event or feast. To indicate the start of a battle or the end of a battle and also as a warning. This sign is a warning of what is about to occur in the Earth.
The first time was in 1933. In 1933, Hitler had just become chancellor and was rising to power in Germany, the first of 2000 anti-Jewish laws had been passed, Albert Einstein was on his way to the United States as a refugee and in October of that same year, this comet cast a meteor storm through the dragon for the very first time. This is exactly what John saw but it didn’t occur until 1933. This happened during Sukkoth (the feast of Tabernacles). The second time this storm occurred was in 1946. Again in October, 7-9. Hitler had been defeated, the Nierenberg trials were one week
19
away and it was two weeks before the United Nations general assembly occurred for the very first time. Also, this was two years before the creation of the Balfour Declaration, which declared Israel as a nation again - one of the most significant events in the Bible and history. Notice, the key occurrences associated with each storm involved Israel or was an anti-Jewish threat (Hitler, the United Nations). This comet is set to pass the earth and cast a meteor shower through the dragon once again around October the 8th 2018 at 23:00 (11pm, UST - Universal Standard Time).
Image of the Dracognids meteor shower
This could be why John said he saw the dragon draw one-third of the stars to the Earth because it will seem as only one-third of the stars are falling to the Earth. When this occurs, it will appear as though it is coming from the constellation’s tail. The interesting thing is Draco (the dragon) followsVirgo (the woman) in the sky and its head is near the womans womb. After Jupiter (the King Planet - Jesus) exits the womb. Both constallations are moving through the night sky together, giving the impression the dragon is moving with or following (pursuing, persecuting) the woman as it states in Rev 12:13. The amazing thing is this will be the last time we will see this comet and any meteor showers from the dragon. Why? Because in January 2nd, 2029, when this comet passes again, it will not pass by the Earth, it will pass by Jupiter and will lose its orbit around the Earth. Could this sign signify the coming of another Jewish threat? Possibly the antichrist?

Draconids meteor streams are groups of meteoroids originating from dust grains EJECTED from Comet 21P Giacobini-Zinner. These small dust grains (meteoroids) are distributed along the parent comet's orbit concentrated close to the comet nucleus with fewer grains farther away from the nucleus. Every time the Earth passes through this stream of dust particles (i.e. meteor stream), we experience what is known as a Draconids meteor shower. These brief streaks of light from meteors, sometimes called "shooting stars", peak on Monday night the 8th October 2018 when earth moves through the center of the dust trail left behind by the comet.
How to view the Draconids
Unfortunately the Draconids are not visible in Southern Africa as they are below the horison.

Israel is two hours ahead of this so according to Israeli time it will pass the Earth’s plane and cause a meteor storm on October the 9th at 00:00 (1:00am). On October the 8th 2018 at 7pm, the dragon will be high in the sky.
“The word of God tells us of a great sign appearing in heaven” Image of Drace and the Draconids taken from Stellarium
Revelation 12:6-17 (NKJV) 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and six-
However, on October the 9th at 1am, the dragon is close to the horizon and is when we are to expect the meteor storm.

-ty days. 7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” 13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
However, God will protect His people by hiding them in the wilderness for one thousand two hundred and sixty days which is three and a half years, the duration of the time of the antichrist’s rule on earth. Verses 7-11, 7 “And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” Most believe this has already occurred and is referred to by Jesus in Luke 10:18 where it states, “And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” However, it has not occurred and is yet to come. Although satan has been cast out of and is no longer a citizen of heaven, which is what Jesus was talking about here, he still has access to heaven. What is he doing there? Accusing us before God day and night. Provoking Him to anger against us or giving Him reasons to judge, condemn and destroy us. It states in verse 10, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.” This is referring to a time when satan will be cast out of heaven altogether, that is, he will not even be allowed to stand before God any longer. Which according to Revelation 12, is about to occur and the sign in the stars marks the commencement of it.
Verse 6, “Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.” This is referring to a time when the antichrist will launch an all out attack against Israel.
Verse 12, “Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and
21
divine intervention by God to protect Israel from this attack.
you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” This reveals the devil comes down to the earth with great wrath because he knows he has a short time. This obviously refers to the commencement of the great tribulation where the devil will manifest himself in the earth as the antichrist.
Verse 17, “And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” When the antichrist realizes his efforts against Israel are constantly being thwarted, he will turn on the Church. We know it’s referring to the Church because it states, “And he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” This is obviously referring to Christians and the Church. We as believers are the spiritual descendants or “children” of Abraham and Jacob or “Israel”, the son of Abraham, and the woman represents Israel. It’s the Church, not Israel who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. It was written like this to clarify this is referring to the Church, not Israel.
Verse 13 and 14, 13 “Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.” This Obviously reveals the antichrist persecuting or attacking Israel. The woman was given two wings of a great eagle. An eagle in the book of revelation can represent the United States of America. The woman given two wings of a great eagle represents the U.S.A assisting Israel in the war against the antichrist. This can also be referring to Israel joining forces with the true Christian church as an eagle also represents the Church. It can also be referring to God providing divine assistance to Israel and the Church as an eagle can also represent God and/or Jesus Christ. Times, a time and half a time is three and a half years which is the total duration of the great tribulation and antichrist’s rule.
“Could this signify the coming of another Jewish threat?”
This may all sound extremely disturbing, however, the Lord gives us hope. The book of Revelation, and the Bible in general for that matter, does not mention Australia. However, the Lord, in prayer, has been revealing to me what is going to happen to Australia at that time. The Lord said, “If My people, the Church, in Sydney and Australia, rise in constant prayer and intercession, I will protect Australia. The antichrist will have very little or no influence over it, I will give you a government that will stand opposed to the one world government and its agenda, she will be protected from invasion and a revival will
Verses 15-16, 15 “So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.” This refers to a second major attack against Israel by the antichrist. The flood of water represents that attack. The earth opening up its mouth to swallow the water represents yet another

occur here. Just as I heard the prayer of Abrhamham, my righteous servant, for Sod -om and Gomorrah and did not destroy it until righteous Lot was taken out of the city by my two angels, I will do the same for Australia. I will protect her for the sake of the righteous. But YOU MUST CONSTANTLY PRAY FOR THIS.” (Gen 18:16-33, Gen 19:12-29) (NKJV). 2 Chron 7:12-16, (NKJV) 12 Then the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. 13 When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. 16 For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.” As the word here reveals the Lord has promised to hear and answer our prayers as we pray, especially about this.

upon
his
shoulder.
And
his
name
will
be
called
Wonderiful,
Counsel-
lor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over
His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”
Isaiah 9:6-7
“And behold, you will concieve in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call his name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David. And he will
reign over the house of Jacib forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” Luke 1:31-33
