Caves In the Rock – Chapter 1: Introduction

On April 27th, 2020, for the first time in history, the U.S. government not only released, but officially certified, videos showing Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) present in our skies.

The Department of Defense released three U.S. Navy videos of UFOs operating in restricted military air space that occurred in 2004 and 2015.  After perhaps half a century of denials, the U.S. government had dramatically changed course regarding UFOs – which they are now labeling as “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” (UAP)—and designated these objects as a serious national security concern. 

This moment represented a historic step forward in the process of full disclosure.  In the years following this event, we would see admissions before congress of recovered materials, entire vehicles, and even bodies, where were termed ‘biologics.’

And yet, this unprecedented moment in 2020 barely had any impact at all.

The world was simply overwhelmed at that point, as Covid-19 and lockdown remained the dominant themes of the day.  But these were just the latest in a long series of events that not only led up to that time, but would then continue.

The magnitude of recent events—which to many appear both Biblical and prophetic in nature—has still not been fully realized.  In the midst of Global pandemic and lockdown; economic meltdown, supply chain shortages and inflation; and a 2020 election that appeared fraudulent to many–we then add global locust plagues, drought, famine, and a war in the Ukraine.  The rapid pace of events makes it is easy to see why many have been overwhelmed with simply trying to keep up.

I know that a Rabbi smashing a potter’s jar of judgement over our nation in Washington D.C. in September of 2020 was not only widely ignored by mainstream media, but also barely registered within many local churches.  But other ‘End Time’ topics have also failed to gain wider traction within the Christian community, such as Tom Horn’s predictions about the asteroid Apophis, the World Economic Forums plan for a ‘great reset’ and implementation of digital identity, the finding of a new Dead Sea Scroll fragment referencing God’s judgement, or a myriad of other relevant topics.  And as mentioned, the disclosure process that is underway regarding UFOs should give us pause, as we consider the implications of this phenomenon as it grows ever closer to acceptance in our day; given the Biblical account of the activities of the fallen angels in the days of Noah.

The pandemic years occurred at the mid-point of an unusual seven-year period—marked by two eclipses that were known as ‘Great American Eclipses’.  After the astonishing election of President Trump in 2016, he would take the oath of office in January of 2017.  The first Great American Eclipse would occur on August 21, 2017 and then would be followed thirty-three days later by what many believe was the ‘woman clothed with the sun’ star sign described in Revelation 12. 

Seven years later would see the most historic comeback in U.S. political history when President Trump emerged victorious in the 2024 presidential election.  This followed the second Great American Eclipse that occurred on April 8, 2024.

Important voices like Rabbi Jonathan Cahn have shown us that God’s judgement began to fall with the attacks of September 11th 2001.  With the events of 2017 to 2024 in mind, it may be that we received renewed warnings during this seven-year window.  As 2024 approached, there was a lot of speculation about catastrophic events that might occur in association with the second Great American Eclipse.

Instead, what appears to have occurred is a mercy moment. With the restoration of President Trump to office, we have been granted a period of time to change the direction of the nation.  It is certainly possible that this time of recovery could also result in a great End Time revival as well.  

But, regardless, we know that a time of great darkness is still coming, as the full weight of events depicted in the Book of Revelation grow ever closet.  With the urgency of the warnings of this recent seven-year period, it seems that we should understand that this dark future is not as far away as we would like to believe.

As we consider those around us who feel moved to focus on preparedness, we can see signposts warning us about the fragile nature of our existence, especially in light of the fact that as a nation we have rejected God.  Yet, the purpose of this writing is not simply to urge people to prepare—although that is clearly a consideration—the point is to try and help those who have “left their first love” (Revelation 2:4).

In the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-12) we see the church depicted as ten virgins who are awaiting the coming of the bridegroom, which represents the return of Jesus.  And tragically, we see that after Christ does finally come for His church, half of the virgins are found unprepared and are then left behind with Jesus rebuking them with this statement: “I do not know you.” 

Jesus admonished us to: “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming” (Matthew 25:13).  It is the premise of this writing that it is well past time for us to watch and begin paying close attention to the signs occurring all around us.

The material covered in these pages goes far afield – ranging from locusts, droughts, famine and pandemic to artificial intelligence, digital identity, UFOs, the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet, the asteroid Apophis, and preparations for the third temple.  These diverse topics have commonality at their core, in that they all represent steps along the path that take us ever further into the Book of Revelation. 

This series is called ‘Caves in The Rock’ and will focus on an examination of key moments that appear to be milestones in the timeline of End Time events.

We begin with a look at an event that the Bible describes with this one key phrase: “…and every mountain and island was removed from its place” (Revelation 6:14).
