The Mark of the Beast and Islam trace416 2015-01-23 | For more information and resources, please visit http://www.theseasonofreturn.com This video describes one of the most important Revelations of our time:The understanding that the Islamic “bismillah” fulfills the Bible’s “mark of the beast” is becoming more well-known in Christian eschatological circles, but most of the world is still completely unaware. There are many books and videos that explain the concept, but most are too long or too confusing to capture the interest of the casual observer. Please forward this clear, brief (8 minute), explanation of “the mark of the beast” and its link to Islam to those who may not have yet heard the message. In the year 2015, as we approach the year of jubilee and are witnessing the rise of the Islamic State (ISIS) with its prominent black flags, Islam’s connection to the “mark of the beast” is something everyone on the planet needs to be aware of.To my subscribers: this video is a re-release of my original video, The Mark of the Beast, with some issues (skipping slides) corrected, as well as a couple of other minor enhancements.

What Will the Rapture be Like? An Awesome Vision trace416 2015-01-01 | Please visit http://www.theseasonofreturn.com for more information and resources.Of course, no one knows exactly what the rapture will look like, but…Popular books and films depict the rapture as a more or less stealthy event—a mysterious vanishing of Christians, evidenced mainly by piles of empty clothes, crashed driverless vehicles, and a lot of bewildered non-believers asking, “Where have the missing gone?”We believe this is a major mischaracterization of the rapture event. When the Lord says He is coming like a “thief in the night” it does not mean He will come to gather what is His and leave, undetected, like the tooth fairy. Think of it this way: When a thief breaks into a home that is occupied, the owner is typically jarred awake by the noise. He is, at first, startled and disoriented but then quickly understands what is happening (a break in) and is terrified. This is how it will be for those not prepared when the Lord suddenly enters our “home,” the earth (more specifically the clouds above), at the rapture. Additionally, a comprehensive survey of Scripture seems to indicate that the rapture will be accompanied by more than just by a massive earthquake—specifically a global cataclysm that may literally turn the world upside down, i.e., an “axial pole shift.” Unlike a mere inexplicable vanishing of true Christians (a small minority in some nations), or a huge earthquake, a pole shift would instantly plunge the whole world into chaos, thus setting the stage for the rise of the Antichrist and other Tribulation related events. For Scriptural references and a detailed scenario based on the Bible’s Fall Feasts please read “The Coming Days of Awe.”Remember, those who are watching and prepared (meaning they are “right with the Lord”) not only have nothing to fear but have every reason to be ecstatic on the day of the rapture. Paul says that believers who know the “times and seasons” (God’s appointed times and feasts) will NOT be surprised by the “thief in the night” (1 Thess. 5:1-6). It is only the sleeping church and non-believers who will be utterly surprised and thus presumably left behind to face what comes after.
2015, Daniel 9, and the Lord’s Jubilee trace416 2014-12-10 | See T.W. TRAMM on Facebook for updates.Please visit http://www.theseasonofreturn.com for more information and resources.DISCLAIMER: This video should not be construed as an attempt to set a date for the rapture or Tribulation; it is a mere presentation of data (verifiable facts, juxtaposed with Isaac Newton’s interpretation of Daniel 9:25), submitted as food for thought. Let the viewer consider what is posed here with an open mind, an open Bible, and, most importantly, in prayerful reliance on the One who reveals the truth about all things—the Holy Spirit of God.For a thorough explanation of Isaac Newton’s interpretation of Daniel 9:24-27, please read “2012-2015 The Season of Return?” For a detailed scenario of how the rapture and tribulation may unfold with respect to the fall feasts and jubilee, please read “The Coming Days of Awe.” INTERPRETATIONS OF DANIEL 9:24-27:This video focuses on Isaac Newton’s interpretation of Daniel 9:24-27. Different interpreters have applied the numbers in Daniel 9:24-27 in various ways to arrive at different key dates related to Jesus’ first coming. For instance: SIR ROBERT ANDERSON’S VIEW: Sir Robert Anderson’s famous interpretation proposes that the ancient restoration of Jerusalem referred to in verse 25 is the March 14th 445 BC decree by Artaxerxes I Longimanus (Neh. 2). Anderson adds the “sixty-two sevens” and the “seven sevens” of verse 25 to arrive at “sixty-nine sevens” or 483 (360 day) Hebrew years (with leap year adjustments) equaling 173,880 days. Adding the 173,880 days to the March 14th date, we arrive at Palm Sunday (April 6, 32 AD), the Day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey (the day He was presented to Israel as Messiah). Anderson believes that the “prophetic clock” stopped ticking at the close of the sixty-nine weeks and will start again in the future at a final, seventieth week when the Antichrist makes a covenant with Israel for seven years.TRADITIONAL VIEW: The traditional interpretation of Daniel 9:24-27 is that the “seven sevens” begin in 457-458 BC with the “Ezra decree” to rebuild (Ezra 7:6-9) and end in 409 BC with the completion of said restoration. The “sixty-two sevens” begin at that point and end in 26-27AD with the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. Thus, there is a total of “sixty-nine weeks,” or 483 years, from the start of Jerusalem’s restoration to the time of Messiah. It is then in the middle of a final “seven,” running from 26 AD to 33 AD, that Jesus would be crucified, or “cut off,” and the sacrifice stopped.NEWTON’S VIEW: Isaac Newton’s interpretation of Daniel 9:24-27 is fundamentally different than most. Newton proposed that the “seventy sevens” (490 years) of Daniel 9:24-27 pointed to the time of Jesus’ crucifixion: Beginning at the Ezra decree in 457-458 BC and adding 490 years, Newton arrived at 32-34 AD, the time of Jesus’ death on the cross. Regarding the “sixty-two sevens” (434 years) of verse 25, Newton proposed that this period begins at the 445 BC rebuilding by Nehemiah and ends at the birth of Christ. Regarding the “seven sevens,” Newton—unlike most who simply add them to the “sixty-two sevens” and count forward from the ancient restoration(s) of Jerusalem to pinpoint Jesus’ first coming—proposed that these (seven sevens) refer to a future restoration of Jerusalem and Jesus’ second coming. Newton, who studied ancient languages (including Hebrew), said there was no linguistic basis for adding the “seven sevens” and “sixty-two sevens” in verse 25; he wrote that to do so actually does “violence to the language of Daniel.” Newton summarized the whole of Daniel’s seventy weeks as follows: “Thus have we in this short Prophecy (Daniel 9:24-27), a prediction of all the main periods relating to the coming of the Messiah; the time of his birth, that of his death, that of the rejection of the Jews, the duration of the Jewish war whereby he caused the city and the sanctuary to be destroyed, and the time of his second coming: and so the interpretation here is given more full and complete and adequate to the design, than if we should restrain it to his first coming only, as interpreters usually do. We avoid also the doing violence to the language of Daniel, by taking the seven weeks and sixty-two weeks for one number. Had that been Daniel’s meaning, we would have said sixty and nine weeks, and not seven weeks and sixty-two weeks, a way of numbering using by no nation.”
The Millennial Reign of Messiah: Gods Kingdom is Coming to Earth! trace416 2012-11-13 | For more vital end-times info, please visit: http://www.theseasonofreturn.comMany do not realize that rather than spending eternity "floating on a cloud," "heaven," or God's Kingdom, is coming to earth. The redeemed (those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ) with dwell forever with the Lord on this planet, the center of all creation. He will reign as righteous King from Jerusalem, the center of the earth.The picture painted by the prophets of the millennial period is a return to normalcy. It is a return to the wonderful, capable physical bodies that God originally created for mankind before "the fall" at Eden. It will be a time of incredible productivity and peace, but also restfulness.It's amazing and encouraging to consider the nature of the "resurrection bodies" the redeemed will enjoy at this time. Eternally youthful and indestructible, they will be like Jesus' body following His resurrection. When He rose from the grave, He ate, walked, and talked with His disciples (Luke 24:33-43). He had a tangible flesh and bone body that could be touched and recognized (Luke 24:41-43 and John 20:27-28), a body very similar to the bodies we have now, yet also very different. It could pass through a wall into a locked room (John 20:26), and it could move about from one place to another instantly! For further study, below are some Scriptures that describe the millennial period, by topic:Peace: Isaiah 2:4, 9:4-7, 11:6-9, 32:17-18, 33:5-6, 54:13, 55:12, 60:18, 65:25, 66:12, Ezekiel 28:26, 34:25, 28, Hosea 2:18, Micah 4:2-3, Zechariah 8:18-19, 10:6-7)Joy: (Isaiah 9:3-4, 12:3-6, 14:7-8, 25:8-9, 25:30:29, 42:1, 42:10-12, 52:9, 60:15, 61:7-10, 65:18-19, 66:10-14, Jeremiah 30:18-19, 31:13-14, Zephaniah 3:14-17, Zechariah 8:18-19, 10:6-7)Glory: (Isaiah 4:2, 35:2, 40:5, 60:1-9)Comfort: (Isaiah 12:1-2, 29:22-23, 30:26, 40:1-2, 49:13, 51:3, 61:3-7, 66:13-14, Jeremiah 31:23-25, Zephaniah 3:18-20, Zechariah 9:11-12, Revelation 21:4)Justice: (Isaiah 9:7, 11:5, 32:16, 42:1-4, 65:21-23, Jeremiah 23:5, 31:23, 31:29-30)Full Knowledge: (Isaiah 11:1-2, 11:9, 41:19-20, 54:13, Habakkuk 2:14)The removal of the Curse: (Genesis 3:17-19) (Isaiah 11:6-9, 35:9, 65:25)Sickness removed: (Isaiah 33:24, Jeremiah 30:17, Ezekiel 34:16)Healing: (Isaiah 29:17-19, 35:3-6, 61:1-2, Jeremiah 31:8, Micah 4:6- 7, Zephaniah 3:19)Protection: (Isaiah 41:8-14, 62:8-9, Jeremiah 32:27, 23:6, Ezekiel 34:27, Joel 3:16-17, Amos 9:15, Zechariah 8:14-15, 9:8, 14:10-11)Freedom from oppression: (Isaiah 14:3-6, 42:6-7, 49:8-9, Zechariah 9:11-12)No immaturity: (Isaiah 65:20)Labor: (Isaiah 62:8-9, 65:21-23, Jeremiah 31:5, Ezekiel 48:18-19) Economic prosperity: (Isaiah 4:1, 35:1-2, 35:7, 30:23-25, 62:8-9, 65:21-23, Jeremiah 31:5-12, Ezekiel 34:26, 36:29-30, Joel 2:21-27, Amos 9:13-14, Micah 4:1-4, Zechariah 8:11-12, 9:16-17) Unified language: (Zephaniah 3:9)Unified worship: (Isaiah 45:23, 52:1, 52:7-10, 66:17-23, Zephaniah 3:9, Zechariah 2:2, Zechariah 2:10-13, Revelation 21:3)The manifest presence of God: (Ezekiel 37:27-28, Zechariah 2:2, Zechariah 2:10-13, Revelation 21:3)The fullness of the spirit: (Isaiah 32:13-15, 41:1, 44:3, 59:19, 21, 61:1, Ezekiel 11:19, 20, 36:26-27, 27, 37:14, 39:29, Joel 2:28-29)The millennial kingdom is very near. Considering just how near it is, a certain point cannot be overemphasized: We are all created in the eternal image of God; therefore, each and every one of us, believers and non-believers alike, live forever. It is up to each individual, gifted with "free will" as we are, to decide where we will spend this eternity: in paradise on earth with our Creator, or in eternal separation from Him, in a real place the Bible calls "hell"...Choose wisely, choose life!
The Color of Islam trace416 2012-10-02 | Please visit http://www.theseasonofreturn.com for more end-times info.Has Satan, the Bible's most notoriously prideful villain, managed to brand his "masterpiece" religion with a signature color?In recent years, a mountain of evidence has been amassed that demonstrates how the religious governing system known as "Islam" fulfills the Bible's prophecies concerning a world-dominating "antichrist" religion that would persecute Christians and Jews. With this understanding, once one begins to examine all the various traditions, tenets, and symbols that make Islam "Islam," one begins to see Satan's fingerprints all over this religion. Even the various symbols, such as the "Islamic crescent" (seen on every mosque and on most Islamic flags), betray Islam's true pagan/satanic/demonic origins. This leads one to consider Islam's prominent use of green and ask: Why, apart from all other religions, is Islam so blatantly associated with a particular color; and, further, why green? Is it a matter of happenstance -- a whim of Muhammad -- or is there perhaps something larger at play? It's been said that when God makes a truth known he does so in a variety of ways and on multiple levels. With this in mind, we pose the question: Might Islam's sacred color be one of the Lord's not so subtle clues about the identity of the most significant malevolent/antichrist force to ever exist in the world? Could it be that the relationship between Islam and green is one of God's "clues," so absurdly obvious that it's been overlooked by the masses, essentially "hidden in plain sight" for years?In an effort to keep this video brief, the broader context of the "green horse" prophecy (namely the other three horses of the apocalypse) is not discussed. Theories vary as to the meaning of the other horses: some propose that they also represent Islam (i.e. white horse = counterfeit religion, red horse = Islamic rule by the sword, black horse = Islamic government controlling commerce, etc. Regarding this theory, it's interesting to note that virtually ALL Islamic nations use flags that consist primarily of the colors white, red, black, and green (the same colors as the four horses of the Apocalypse). Others propose that the white horse represents "Catholicism," the red horse represents the spirit of "Communism" and the black horse the spirit of "Capitalism"; the green horse obviously representing "Islamism." Still others interpret the prophecy in more general terms; not applying any specific "world movement" to any particular horse...This author tends to believe that this prophecy, like so many others in the Bible, may have multiple applications, thus revealing multiple truths.Regarding the green horse, please note that while many modern translations describe him as simply "pale," in the original Greek text, the word "chloros" is used. "Chloros" means "green," or yellowish pale. It is from this word we derive the word chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants. Apparently, the translators could not imagine a green horse, so gave us the word "pale" instead. The most recent and reliable Greek interlinear versions (i.e., the UBS 4th edition, Nestle-Aland 27th edition) accurately translate the fourth horse as being "pale-green."Please note, this video is not intended to stir hatred or disrespect toward Muslims; it's about exposing a religion (Islam) for what the Bible says it is. It is my hope that what is presented here will be considered with an open mind by all, particularly Muslims, who truly seek God. The Bible teaches that God has a Son; that he died on a cross, and that this Son is the only way to salvation. Islam, of course, denies these basic tenets, jeopardizing the eternal fate of its adherents. I urge any and all to do their own Bible study and prove these things for themselves. The Lord says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me." (Rev. 3:20)
Bath Salts Zombies Or Something Worse? trace416 2012-06-28 | For more vital end-times info please visit: http://www.theseasonofreturn.comHave you ever wondered why demonic possession was so common during the time of Jesus but is virtually unheard of today? Interestingly, there are many modern accounts of drug users exhibiting the same behavior as the "demoniacs" of Scripture. Perhaps the phenomena itself has not changed at all -- only the labels we choose to put on it.The Bible warns that certain consciousness-altering behaviors leave one open to demonic attack. Today's more-powerful-than-ever drug concoctions are just one of many avenues demons are using to enter into people, causing destruction to themselves and those around them.This video is not intended to suggest that any particular baths-salts user was, or is, "demon possessed." The point is that possession can and does happen and that those who abuse drugs like bath salts are making themselves vulnerable. It's also been reported that Rudy Eugene was not under the influence of Bath salts at the time of his cannibalistic attack. This merely bolsters the notion that it is not solely the drugs causing the bizarre and ghoulish behavior. The drugs are simply the doorway. Once the door is opened, evil spirits can come back, even after the drugs have left the user's system. This is why many bath salts users report that they continue to hear voices long after the effects of the drug have worn off.
