This olive tree is in the garden where Jesus prayed the night of his arrest. According to biblical symbolism, olive oil represents the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit will help visitors understand this biblical view of Prophecy. I’m not asking you to accept or reject this study. I only ask readers to understand what is presented and the Scriptures used to come to this understanding. If readers set aside their present biases and pretend they’re sitting on a jury, and are willing to read all the evidence to fully understand this testimony. After understanding this study, then go and seek out any other view that would prove that all or parts of this study need correction. Only then will the reader be able to assist me with their additions, subtractions, corrections, and even share their different view with supporting Scripture or history as evidence. I respect the work of the Holy Spirit in my brothers and sisters who are striving to follow Jesus and the Almighty Father. I try to remain open and teachable and seek others who may have been given a gift of understanding which I don’t understand today. I don’t push people away with different views. If the reader shares their understanding, it may add to or cause me to correct this study. So you are invited to help make this a better study by sharing your own testimony. Jesus said to call no man Rabbi. Rabbi means teacher. So, just share your personal testimony for the understanding you have after you finish this study. This Prophecy Study reflects my personal understanding today. The Father can open our eyes to new knowledge and give understanding at his appointed time. Being retired allows me time to read, study, and engage in conversations with both church insiders and the outsiders who do not belong or worship in a church.
Every morning, I ask the Father to send a fresh anointing of His Spirit to keep my lamp full and guide me through the day. There are seven Spirits of God: the Spirit of the Father, the Spirit to Fear God, the Spirit of Wisdom, the Spirit of Knowledge, the Spirit of Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel, and the Spirit of Might (Isaiah 11:2). It’s important to note that the Spirit of Might doesn’t imply pride, arrogance, control, or force. Rather, the Spirit of Might represents courage and confidence to live as a Bond Servant for the Most High, and speak truth that will bring encouragement into the lives of others. I desire to understand and apply correctly what is written in the Scriptures. I don’t go to other men to learn. After I have completed my own study, I research what others share to see if the Holy Spirit is teaching others the same or if I overlooked something. I pray that this study will help someone cross the finish line and be a winner, not losing out on eternal life. If you are sleeping or lukewarm, I pray that this study will help you find your way.
Is Reading or Listening to others Important?
2Peter 1:20 “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.”
God’s Plan on How to Present Prophecy
Corinthians 14:29-33 “Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. If any thing be revealed to another that sits by, let the first hold his peace. For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”
Two reasons to read, study, and test everything on this website.
1. To ensure that you understand this view, before making any changes to your own present understanding. I am not hear looking for people to follow me.
2.We are all responsible for each other. As you read this message, please take notes on what you would like to discuss with me. I don’t expect everyone to agree with every point in this study, but I hope that you will understand and see how the Scriptures support each prophetic event on this Prophetic Chart. There can’t be conflict with the Prophets, and every text must fit without twisting the literal meaning. I have tried to set aside my ideas and only followed the path set forward in the Scriptures. Please take your time and examine everything carefully. I welcome your comments, corrections, and additions. We are all responsible for using the spiritual gifts we’ve been given, and it’s important to show respect for the gifts that others in our faith community possess. By doing this, we demonstrate respect for the Almighty Father, who is the author of our faith and our service. Readers from different churches may find something important missing. I have left room for your comments on various topics in the blog pages. There, you will find different important articles about the “Rapture,” for example. This site will grow and be corrected if needed.
About Mr. Ed
I grew up attending church and raised my family the same way. However, everything changed for me on June 29, 1995. Since then, I feel that the Almighty Father and Jesus have been guiding me through my spiritual journey. It feels like Holy Spirit Boot Camp at times. Over the next seven years, my life was overhauled. I needed to unlearn and learn new things from the Scriptures and through personal experience. The Scriptures and the Father’s sent Spirit are the only teachers I need. They teach and guide us through the Seven Spirits of God, which I will share more about from the Scriptures. These Seven Spirits are found on the Golden Lampstand in the first compartment in the Temple, in Revelation chapter one and five, and listed in Isaiah 11:2.
It is important to remember that those in the Lamb’s Book of Life have testimonies to share about what the Spirit is teaching them. It’s essential to respect their journey, even if we may not always fully agree with each other. We should listen without debating or fighting and consider and test every testimony that others share. This is how the Kingdom grows and matures. Many are still on a spiritual journey and have not fully developed their character to reflect the Father or Jesus. It’s important for a spiritually healthy community to embrace and not ignore the various Gifts of the Spirit that the Father has sent to each assembly. Applying 1 Corinthians chapters 12, 13, and 14 to our present orderly worship is crucial. Today, many leaders argue with God’s ways given in chapter 14, claiming it would cause confusion. However, it’s clear that His ways are not the ways of confusion. The confusion lies in the ways of Babylon’s World Empires, which have built our current Greek-Roman Western culture. As individuals, we must desire to stop drinking the false wine of Babylon that surrounds us. The Dragon has been busy seeding his counterfeits into modern life, so we should audit our own lives each day.
About This Study
In January 2012, I got sent me back to spiritual boot camp and Jesus asked me, “Read my love letter.” At first, I had never heard anyone call the Bible a love letter, but I understood what I was being asked to do. Since 1995 I was doing topical study. I was reading only a few verses from a chapter. I never knew anyone that reads their Bible from Genesis to Revelation like a love letter. I knew what I was being asked to do. Start at the beginning and read every book until I reached the end. When a person really falls in love he may read that same letter over and over when they are separated from that person who sent it to them. My life and relationship today is very different compared to before I began reading and understanding the love God has for me and you. I began reading the entire Bible through each year in January 2012 and it has been a transformative experience.
Before my Prophecy study, one of the main subjects of my research was the Creator’s calendar, as appointed in the week of Creation. Genesis 1:14 mentions the appointment of the sun, moon, and stars for signs, seasons, days, and years. Without comprehending the biblical calendar and the appointed times mentioned in Scripture, the Roman or Hebrew calendars used by Jews are not considered the Creator’s perfect prophetic calendar. When I explained this to some Hebrew leaders, they admitted that they were wrong but mentioned that they had been following their tradition for so long that it would be upsetting for the people to make a change. This situation reminds me of the Israelites in Jerusalem, who rejected God’s message delivered by the Prophets and even went as far as killing them. This problem isn’t just spiritual; it’s a human issue.
This will not be a calendar study. Go to the Contact Page and request the calendar study, and I will help you if you’re interested. My Father had me study and share the perfect Creator’s calendar for seven years before I was asked to study prophecy in early 2020. Most experienced prophecy students coming to this site agree that all prophecy is on a calendar with 30 dates in each month and 360 dates in each year. However, there is much more knowledge needed to understand prophetic time and set the appointed prophetic events at the correct time. It all begins with Moses’ writings called the Torah and ends in Revelation.
My fascination with Astronomy started in public junior high school. Looking back, it seems like learning about it was meant to prepare me for my study of the biblical calendar. My study of the biblical calendar is based on the literal meaning of the Scriptures and verifiable scientific facts. If a literal interpretation doesn’t apply, then I look for a symbolic meaning. Despite this, humanity often follows the man-made Western-Greek-Roman timekeeping, overshadowing the teachings of Scripture with Babylonian practices. One important lesson I learned during this study was never to mix the unholy with the Holy. I dedicated myself to the Creator’s calendar study and its dissemination for seven years, from 2012 until the end of 2018. Then, in 2019, the Father and Jesus began to prepare me to move out of the United States.
In the spring of 2019, I learned that my Father was sending me out of the United States where I live. Despite having no desire to travel and no idea about the purpose of this trip, I began making preparations and applied for a passport in faith. By the summer of 2019, I learned that I was being sent to the Philippines. In late November 2019, I arrived in Manila, Philippines. Although I didn’t fully understand the purpose of my journey, I felt certain that I had been directed to go. Many unusual doors kept opening, affirming that I was indeed following a divine plan.

About Continues:
When I arrived in Manila, a devout Christian family arranged for the Father to pick me up at the airport and help me get settled into a place in Manila. After two days of shopping, they offered to take me to their home in the countryside where they had an empty house where I could stay. After 7 hours of driving, we ascended a mountainous jungle road for 45 minutes until we came to the end of the road. Due to a storm and heavy rain, I was moved into Malinda’s home, and one week later, the family graciously offered for me to stay with them instead of walking deeper into the jungle to live by myself. They catered to all my needs during my almost three-year stay. I love this family and could write a book about my wonderful experience, but this study is on prophecy.
From November 2019 to March 2020, I received numerous visitors from the valley, many of whom were Christian leaders and members interested in discussing Jesus and the Scriptures after learning that I was a spiritual American man living on top of a mountain. This was unexpected. At first, I was concerned that I would not be able to find people to share with, but many people came to meet me. It was a blessing to learn about their culture and how their spiritual lives were filled with much faith, hope, and charity. In the country, I met many people who were living out their faith seven days a week. They not only spoke of Jesus, but their lives also reflected much respect and love for their family and community. The family I was living with did many acts of kindness, seeking out people who were hungry and giving food to those in need.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, access to the mountain in the Philippines was restricted by the military in March 2020. Only one person from the family was allowed to go to the valley to buy food. During this time, I was instructed to study prophecy, even though I had not done so before. I spent almost seven days a week and 14 hours a day for 18 months collecting Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation related to the “Time of the End” and saving them on my laptop. This was just the first step, and I knew I needed to delve into these texts more deeply when the time was right.
I have been working on organizing the Scriptures based on appointed times mentioned in the Bible. Many Christians agree with the general outline I have created, which I have used as chapter headings. I’ve been sorting out the Scriptures into these chapters and sub-chapters in my laptop files. After that, I matched the Creator’s appointed times for various end time events using the correct monthly calendar. By doing this, I’ve been able to align the prophetic events in the Scriptures with the Creator’s Calendar, including dates and months mentioned in the Scriptures. Although the specific day or hour of the Second Coming is not mentioned, I now have a timeframe for when Jesus will return. According to Daniel 12:4, the promised knowledge for the time of the end has been unsealed, providing a clearer understanding.
Most people agree that the final fulfillment at the Cross took place on the appointed month, correct date, the correct day of the week, and even the correct hour of the day. Every prophetic detail was fulfilled at the Cross and all other dates given in the Scriptures will be fulfilled exactly on time. Currently, we do not know the exact date or hour of Jesus’ arrival. However, there are two surprising points in this prophecy study regarding the Second Coming that you won’t want to miss. In Revelation, the Dragon doesn’t know the exact date or hour, but the Dragon does understand every prophecy and sees the same window found in the Scriptures when the Father gave understanding to Daniel in chapters 8, 9, 11, and 12. If we comprehend Revelation and follow John in vision, we will see that the Dragon knows when to prepare for Jesus’ return. If the Father allowed Satan to know, why would the Father not want us to know?
I had to stop listening to other men and only learn from the Spirit of Truth in this study. The events are clearly written and easy to understand. It only takes a desire to learn and apply what is true. Here is the basic key outline I started with for sorting out the Scriptures. Before I finished, I added chapters and many sub-chapters to keep things in order. I believe that almost all prophecy students, both Christian and Hebrews who accept the Messiah, will agree with this basic outline.

In order to fully understand how prophetic events align with the Scriptures, it is essential to consider the Creator’s Calendar. The calendar that Moses recorded aligns with the Torah and is the only one that withstands rigorous testing. After evaluating various calendars, including the Jewish lunar calendar, I am confident that the Creator has given humanity only one calendar to live by. Just as the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do,” I strive to live according to the calendar of the Heavenly Kingdom, under the governance of the Almighty Father who owns and rules this universe. It’s important to recognize that man is merely dust in the grand scheme of things.
Once I have understood all the smaller topics, I can move on to the final step, which involves organizing the appointed times and events in their proper sequence according to the given dates, months, and periods stated in the Scripture. These are often ignored today, even by prophecy students. After finishing my initial study, I prepared to return to the United States for my next step forward.
Upon returning to the United States, I am now able to review and compare other prophecy studies, ask questions, and receive feedback from fellow prophecy students. It is July 2024, and I am publishing this website for others to study, test, and support by sharing their comments, corrections, or additions. Please also include the Scriptures that support your views. I am always open to receiving corrections. All credit for what is true in this study goes to the Father’s Throne; any mistakes in this study are mine to own. I will appreciate your email to help enlighten me and improve this study for others who come to research and compare their own views.
The passage in 1 Corinthians 14:22 emphasizes that prophecy is for believers, suggesting that those who are not interested in prophecy may not be believers. If a person claims to love Jesus and follow Him, yet ignores the book of Revelation where it is stated that Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy, it raises the question of how one can say they love Jesus while ignoring the Spirit of Prophecy, which was given by Jesus to the prophets, including John, in the book of Revelation. The Spirit of Prophecy is meant to help us understand what the Father has determined we need to know. Ignoring prophecy is tantamount to ignoring the Father and the words of Jesus, which is very dangerous. While not everyone is given the gift to fully understand the Prophets, everyone should seek to listen to those who have an understanding of them. In Daniel 12, it is mentioned that many will come to righteousness by listening to those who fear God, were given wisdom, received understanding, and shared their testimony to counsel others on understanding the Prophets. They will have the Holy Spirit’s power to share in a spirit of charity, and others will test their testimony to see if it is good. From Genesis to Revelation, Jesus was and is the Spirit of Prophecy.
Prophecy is given to encourage with promises and to warn about unpleasant things that will come upon the earth. The purpose is to wake up sleeping believers or those who are lukewarm. Many people are now awake, and the Father’s sent Seven Spirits are teaching many. Not everyone will have the same understanding. 1 Corinthians 14:29-33 advises us to have two or no more than three people share different views of a prophecy during the worship service. Chapter 14:26-40 instructs what “Orderly Worship” should include. If we rely on our own understanding, we will be lost. We must trust that the Father knows how to raise us and get us ready. If we ignore His plan, we are putting ourselves in danger.
Prophecy is also found in parables. In the story of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-13, the emphasis is on the importance of daily preparation by seeking the divine “Holy Spirit” to invite the presence of the Father and the Son into our lives each morning. All 10 virgins were believers and had the Holy Spirit. Five of the virgins had enough and were saved, while the other five were lacking and did not have enough. They found a “shut door” [Rev 3:7] and were lost.
We must be very careful not to offend the Almighty Father or Jesus, and we should also show respect to those in any congregation who have received a gift from the Holy Spirit. Each of us should seek and use the gifts we have been given, and also respect others who have been given similar or different gifts. We are instructed to test everything and be discerning of the Spirit in others around us. Everyone is either following Jesus’s path or not. Those who are following may be ahead or behind me. We must strive to remain on the path and avoid taking a wrong turn onto a dead-end road. There are many deceitful people disguised as fellow believers in the congregations. Let’s remember Paul’s experience before his conversion; he thought he was doing everything right. After his conversion, he only desired to do what the Almighty Father and Jesus wanted him to do. He moved forward to do what Father’s plan was for his life and set aside his own plans. He had a purpose to fulfill and so each of us also must hear the call and choose to follow.
The two most significant days in a person’s life are the day they were born and the day they discovered God’s purpose for their life.
