Bible TimeVirginia Tech Massacre
The Virginia Tech massacre was the worst gun related massacre in the history of the United States. The lives of 33 students ended suddenly in what appears to the world to be a random act of violence. What the mainline media cannot tell you is this was the first event in a series of prophetic events patterned from the Book of Exodus. As a whole, these events mark the Day of the Lord. The plagues themselves begin in July of 2007, this event was only the circumcision of Zipporah's son which made her a bridegroom of blood to Moses.
The massacre happened with hour accurate precision, synchronized with the end of the calendar day in Jerusalem, which helps confirm time for future hour-accurate events.
The massacre fell 90 days after comet McNaught made a dramatic appearance in the southern sky. That comet was the burning bush of Moses, when the world went out to see this sight which would not burn up. These events will continue, on a fixed and predictable schedule through a modern prophetic replay of the Plague on First Born in April of 2010. After that last plague there are many other predictable, timed, events, but there will be no more plagues.
This event happened to a 26,000 member college student body because their generation will witness the largest transformation of the human race that will ever happen. This generation will live across a replay of the plagues. It will witness the return of Jesus, and it will witness Jesus' reorganziation of the race, setting up the race for what is popularly called the millennium reign though that reign is longer than many suppose. The next 3 years of plagues mark the start of a 50 year period that overlays a similar 50 period when Yahvah brough the ancient Israelites out of Egypt and planted them in a new land.
Purpose of this Article
My purpose here is to provide a long, technical, explanation of the various prophetic aspects of the Virginia Tech Massacre in Blacksburg, Virginia. Explanations like this go a long way to answering the question that none of the dignitaries on the stage in the Convocation could answer: Why did God let this happen? He IS in control, after all, of even the smallest aspects of life on earth. An event that causes a nation to mourn can only happen if God has ordained it.
I'm now in my 10th year, full time, of dealing with the technical question of how time works in the pages of the Bible. In short, what I've found is that the timeline of the Bible, when properly understood, is a pattern that forms the basis for various repetitions of that same timeline both within history as recorded in the Bible, and in secular history as recorded in college level history text books. Time is cyclic in several ways which causes the events in human history to form factal patterns that appear as random events to the untrained eye, just as natural landscapes also appear random to the untrained eye.
These patterns are not random at all. The physics of time provides the underlying balanced system that has a supernatural design overlayed upon that superstructure. The plan for time layed out in the Bible is like a gardener with a plan for how a tree will be pruned. Not all possible patterns are allowed to grow, only those that conform to Jesus' plan for the race are allowed to bud and grow out to their full potential. The pruning goes on all the time, usually unnoticed, but there are times when the world changes in painful ways. These times become headline news and they usually have an associated Bible story that explains exactly why the event is part of the plan.
The Book of Exodus
Many people in the Christian world expect a return of Jesus sometime in our generation. This is a correct, and widely held understanding. What is not widely understood is where in the Bible is the core story of the schedule of the events surrounding that event.
The challenge is the admonition that Jesus does nothing without first revealing that plan to his servants, the prophets. If Jesus is going to return, then his plan must be documented. Where is that plan documented? In the Bible, of course. Where in the Bible is the schedule? Where did Jesus come down in power before?
Of course the schedule for this time in future history is hidden in plain sight, and is known to the world as the Book of Exodus, or the Book of the Departure that will take place at the return of Jesus.
The Book of Exodus is written as a history, a history of the Exodus from Egypt that the children of Israel lived through roughly 3500 years ago. This historical veneer hides its more important application for buried within its pages are clues that this is not simply an historical book, but a prophetic book that describes Jesus' return and the events that both preceded and follow the "Big Event." This future purpose is in part why Exodus has such an odd structure and why it does not read like any sort of normal historical account, riddled as it is with end-times clues.
There are a few simple steps to convert the book into a Prophecy Book. The first is to learn to read the text using a prophetic grammar. For the Book of Exodus that grammar is a simple application of a prophetic ratio. Each time a day is used in the text a modern 30 day month is inserted instead. Each time the text references 1 (or more) days, then there is 1 (or more) 30 day months going by now.
These 2 clues are all that are needed to unpack the text. Using a prophetic grammar the text breaks up into stories that are seperated, usually, by multiples of 30 days. Occationally it uses the expression "morning" which is 1/2 of a day, or 1/2 of a 30 day month, or 15 days. When an event is offset to the morning, then the associated modern prophetic event is offset by 15 days.
It takes additional study, beyond our scope here, to place in time those 30 day months. The general strategy is to rediscover the 30 day calendar used in the Bible, and then place these events at the 3500th anniversaries of their first occurance. This is 70 times 7 years since the first occurance of these events when a "7" is a Sabbath of 7 sets of 7 years.
Using the prophetic grammar, the time from the burning bush to the Exodus reduces to a simple 3 years (where 2 of those years are leap years.) This also has the quality of suggesting that the entire time from the burning bush to the end of Joshua's war of independence was 50 years exactly, an entire Jubilee.
All prophetic events from the Book of Exodus have points in time that sit at fixed points on the 30 day calendar. Some stories are described as going across time and those events thus begin and end on 30 day multiples. Otherwise the events are points in time and not generally spread out. Those points in time are also at or very near sunset in Jerusalem where the days that make up the 30 day calendar are measured.
OK, that is enough introduction. On to the details of the Virginia Tech Massacre.
Virginia Tech Massacre Prediction
As I usually do with these dates I posted the prediction to the Bible Time group on Yahoo. This prediction said that there would be a prophetic event based on certain scriptures at roughly sunset in Jerusalem on Monday, April 16, 2007. Note for historical reference that other events, like the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City were also timed at roughly sunset in Jerusalem.
When the events are singularities, like bombs and guns going off, those events tend to this same time of day, roughly between 7 and 10 AM on the east coast of the United States. There is variablity here because of Daylight savings and because the exact event may not be exactly what the media says is the event. God may time, say, when the shooter picks up his weapon, or when the first victims arrive in the hospital, or anywhere in between.
In the case of Virginia Tech the prophetic timing is near the end of the shooting.
In the prediction I also listed the scripture. Exodus 3:19 - Exodus 5:2 provides the textual basis for this event since these are the scriptures which are contained within time references. In this case there is a 3 day reference ahead of this passage and another 3 day reference following.
For the record, the 3 days ahead of this event were 90 modern days. Those days marked the time between comet McNaught, the modern prophetic fulfillment of Moses' burning bush, and this event at Virginia Tech.
Comet McNaught was NOT a singular event so it was not possible to confirm the sunset-in-Jerusalem nature of this series. It required the actual shooting times to confirm this aspect of the story.
The 3 day reference following places the opening scenes for the plague of blood out 90 days after, or in mid July 2007. That plague has a morning reference that delays parts of the plague out to August 1.

(BRB)
The first part of this passage is general editorial, that God is in charge of these plagues, that the people cannot leave except by force.
It also explains that there will be a time of plunder, or reward, that will be given to those who leave Egypt at the end of the plagues.

2Then the LORD said to him, "What is that in your hand?" "A staff," he replied.
3The LORD said, "Throw it on the ground." Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it. 4Then the LORD said to him, "Reach out your hand and take it by the tail." So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. 5"This," said the LORD, "is so that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers -- the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob -- has appeared to you."(NIV)
2 Exodus 4:1-5
2Yahweh said to him, 'What is that in your hand?'
He said, 'A rod.'
3He said, 'Throw it on the ground.'
He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it.
4Yahweh said to Moses, 'Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail.'
He put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand.
5'That they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.' (WEB)

5'That they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.' (WEB/HNV)
2 Exodus 4:1-5
The first thing to happen in this passage is the staff that Moses is told to throw down which becomes a serpent. This is followed by a snow colored hand.
Before the news of the Virginia Tech massacre began flooding the news, there was another event which was flooding many parts of the east coast. An historic nor-easter was dumping record amounts of rainfail across much of the eastern seaboard of the United States.
Many people were having to flee their homes, seeing higher ground in order to be safe from raging rivers. There was even fears in certain areas that there would be dam related failures and mandatory evacuations were ordered.
These raging rivers are the snake that was on the ground that people were fleeing from.

2Pharaoh said, 'Who is the LORD, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don't know the LORD, and moreover I will not let Israel go.'(WEB/HNV)
2 Exodus 5:1-2
Up north this weather was coming down as snow, and is the leprousy that Moses had on his hand.
In Virginia, this storm would cause high winds and those winds prevented airlifting of victims to medical facilities. They would also interfere with satelite communications and cause loss of signal on many of the networks covering the massacre.
The Prediction
I've been watching this series for many months, and finally started seeing it unfold with comet McNaught. The problem with the comet was that it spread out over many days, without any on-the-ground event. (At least not obvious, beyond sight-seers who went out to look like Moses did.)
But, this series is an accurate series. The prophetic events that are sudden, like a shooting, should land very close to sunset in Jerusalem. This expression is defined technically as 6 hours after noon in Jersusalem, and not the observed time of sunset. All clock-time is measured in equal length hour units and set at high-noon. Sunset is simply 6 hours after noon.
For this headline we were looking for sunset around 15:00 GMT, or so, around 10:00 AM on the east coast of the US.
