Lera,
There have been a great many “breakthroughs” lately in end times study. I think it’s largely due to the impact of the Messianic community.
(1) the role of the feasts as markers in the 1st and 2nd Advents
(2) the use of “No man knoweth the Day” as a well known idiom for Roshhashana
(3) the role of the Jubilees

(It’s a cover that looks crazy, but try listening. He’s good! Very good!)
At first blush I dismissed this lesson before even listening because I was put off by the “over-the-top” cover. But it is truly one of the best — and current — presentations on the 2nd Adventr. He did EXCELLENT research, lays it out clearly, and vividly shows converging vectors for his premise.
I’m afraid Thomas Ice, David Reagan, Andy Woods, Rhodes, and others are a bit slow in catching up to what’s going on here. They are insisting on taking Matthew 24:36 literally.
Of course, they may be right. But others in the Messianic community are saying “Wait! That phrase was a well known idiom for Roshhashanna. It was an idiom used by the Jewish groom as to when he’d go for the bride.”
Revelation 2:7 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life,
which is in the midst of the Paradise of ELoHIM.”’
Proverbs 3:18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who retain her.
Proverbs 3:1 My son, do not forget my Torah,
But let your heart keep my commands;
בְּנִי תּוֹרָתִי אַל־תִּשְׁכָּח וּמִצְוֹתַי יִצֹּר לִבֶּךָ
2 For length of days and long life
And peace they will add to you.
Which brings us to a section of this weeks Parshat Shoftim...
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 20:19 When you lay siege to a city for a long time, fighting against it to capture it, do not destroy its trees by putting an axe to them, because you can eat their fruit. Do not cut them down. Are the trees people, that you should besiege them? 20 However, you may cut down trees that you know are not fruit trees and use them to build siege works until the city at war with you falls. Do not cut down fruit trees!
Which brings us to...
Mark 11:12 Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.”
And His disciples heard
20 Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.”
dried up from the roots...
Bottom line, fruit bearing trees are not cut down in time of war!

This sign happens twice a year, the full moon at Pesach and the new moon at Rosh Hashana and the moon passes right through Virgo, literally a birth of the covenants and the year.
The birth of America
Revelation 12:1 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.
A great sign appeared in heaven
Genesis 1:14 Then God said, “Let there be lights 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;
Let them be for signs and seasons
Now a great sign appeared in heaven
A woman clothed with the sun / Sun is in Virgo
With the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars
Here's an interesting fact, 12 men have had the moon under their feet, all of them Americans.
Side Note: Dragon's head and Dragon's tail are nodes of the moon.
There's a very enlightening book titled...
The Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capital
The Masons and the Building of Washington, D.C.
David Ovason
In this book David Ovason describes the near obsession the designers of Washington D.C. had with the constellation Virgo. Note that the cornerstone ceremonies for the Capitol and the White House match the description in Revelation 12, cause and effect.
The Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capital
The Masons and the Building of Washington, D.C.
David Ovason
Ovason, in his popular books, shows the recurrence of the sign Virgo, and symbols of Virgo, not just this five-petal flower, or pentagram, but Mercury, lord of the zodiac sign Virgo. In his view D.C. is a series of monuments to Hermetic Christianity; the Virgo/Pisces orientation of the city he believes invokes the Mary/Jesus apotheosis of the genders.
In the horoscope for April 21, 1791, the day the foundation stone for Washington D.C. was laid Jupiter was rising at 23 degrees Virgo. October 13, 1792, the day the stone for the White House was laid, the moon conjunct North node was at 23 degrees Virgo. Ovason writes: “On September 18th, 1793, when President George Washington in his role as Grand Master laid the foundation stone for the Capitol the Sun was in 24 degrees of Virgo, and thus reflected the Virgoan nature of the new city. When the cornerstone for the Washington Monument was laid July 4th, 1848, the moon went into Virgo; more importantly, the north node was at 25 Virgo.”
Why this degree of Virgo? “According to medieval Arab astrologers,” Ovason explains, “this degree had a particular importance: it marked that point in the zodiac where the Moon was thought to promote the greatest happiness and well-being. We must presume, then, that the intention behind the choice of moment was that this beneficial influence would be transmitted into Washington, D.C.” Ovason writes that on August 10, 1791 the three fixed stars Arcturus, Regulus and Spica rose at sunset, forming a celestial triangle that inspired the design of the city’s Federal Triangle.
Spica, from the Latin spīca virginis, “Virgo’s ear of grain,” has a history in Hermetic circles. In his Three Books of Occult Philosophy, Cornelius Agrippa connected Spica with Hermes Trismegistus. He also described a talisman with the image of a bird and a man carrying goods, which, according to Agrippa, “…conferreth riches, and maketh one overcome contentions, it taketh away scarcity and mischief.”
