531 The 4 Carpenters And... THE CALENDAR

12 Feb 2026The final teaching in the series is presented, focussing on the Hebrew calendar’s inaccuracy and the revelation of a new calendar based on the solstices. The teaching will explore the significance of the moon’s cycle and its connection to the solstice foundation, ultimately leading to the creation of the Ministry Revealed Solstice Calendar. The discussion will also touch upon the four craftsmen and their relevance to the timing of the pre-tribulation.The four horns in Revelation 17, representing Arab nations, are responsible for scattering Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. This event marks the beginning of the Red Horse Rider, leading to World War II. The four carpenters, who will come to counter these nations, are historically identified as Zerubbabel, Joshua, Ezra, and Nehemiah, representing the Messiah Ben David, Messiah Ben Joseph, and the Elijah and Moses companies.The text explores the interpretation of Zechariah’s prophecy, highlighting the four prophetic figures: Messiah ben David, Messiah ben Joseph, Elijah, and the righteous priest. It connects these figures to the end times, specifically the first seven years of seals, and the roles they will play in the Gog and Magog war and the rebuilding of the temple. The text emphasises the importance of understanding the timing and sequence of these events, as revealed through scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.The battle of Gog and Magog, a significant event in prophecy, is believed to occur before the arrival of the Messiah. However, the identity of Gog and Magog, the nature of the battle, and whether it has already happened remain uncertain. The text explores the role of Messiah Ben Joseph, who is expected to be victorious in this battle but also to die, highlighting the complexity of Jewish interpretations.The text discusses the end-time roles of Elijah and Moses, who are believed to be prophetic figures rather than literal returns of the biblical figures. It also explores the concept of the “teacher of righteousness,” a figure connected to the end-time Elijah, who will prepare a people for the end times through understanding prophecy. The text further delves into the Jewish eschatological beliefs surrounding the four craftsmen: Messiah ben David, Messiah ben Joseph, Elijah, and Moses, highlighting the lesser-known role of the Moses figure.The Dead Sea Scrolls, specifically the Poly Messianic text, provide evidence supporting the existence of a Moses-like figure alongside the Elijah-like teacher of righteousness. This revelation, derived from scripture, clarifies the role of the Messiah ben Joseph, a war messiah from Ephraim, who will defeat the 10 kings and the beast before being resurrected by God. The text also confirms the dual nature of the Messiah ben Joseph’s death, aligning with the biblical account of the two witnesses in Revelation 11.
