Heavenly Sign for the 4th Seal
Covering 1–8 Aug 2026 · Heavenly Sign for the 4th Seal
W.A.H. — World According to Hiro
Fellow Watchmen,
In the last couple of weeks, we’ve shown more scriptural ways to calculate the date of Jesus’ return than any other biblical prophecy, and how the heavens confirm those dates by placing rare astronomical configurations (that will never happen again) into a 6,000-year-long story in the sky. In our timeline, the 7-year tribulation started on the Feast of Trumpets, 2 October 2024.
Since then, we’ve seen a large cluster of heavenly signs that culminate this Wednesday, 12 August 2026. That is when there will be a total solar eclipse (& New Moon) together with a 6-planet parade (Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Uranus, Saturn, Neptune) at the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower. It’s being hailed as an extraordinarily rare, once-in-a-century event. This would qualify as a heavenly sign for the 4th Seal, the Pale/Green Horseman.
If our timeline is correct, we should expect to see roughly ¼ of the population die from the sword, famine, and plague before the 5th Seal (Rev 6:9-11), when the Antichrist declares himself above God (Dan 9:27, 2 Thess 2:3-4). That’s what starts “The Great Tribulation” (Matt 24:15-21). As we’ve discussed before, Daniel defines the “world” of these prophecies as the successive empires controlling the territory of Babylon (Dan 2:31-45). The final form of that kingdom is different from the others because it is a religion as well as an empire (Dan 2:41-43). As such, although there will be wars, famines, pestilences and natural disasters in diverse places (Matt 24:7; Luke 21:11), the primary events prophesied take place in the lands controlled by the Islamic Empire and where Islam holds sway. There are ~ 2 billion Muslims today. Counting the population of nations with >10% Muslim’s, (primarily the Middle East through Southeast Asia, half of Africa, and sections of Europe) includes over 4 billion people.
That means we should expect ~ 1 billion deaths by Passover, 9 Apr 2028! Since Oct 2024, we’ve seen ~500,000 deaths from the sword worldwide, primarily Russia/Ukraine. Famine, primarily in Sudan claimed ~800,000. Pestilence and excess mortality run 63 million, just a small fraction of what’s coming. The next couple years will be so traumatic in some areas that people will cry out for someone like the Anti-Christ to come along and solve the worlds problems.
Passover 2028 starts another cluster of Heavenly signs including the asteroid Apophis’ closest approach through 2029 as the 6th Seal. Then nothing until we are raptured around Trumpets, 27–29 September 2030, accompanied by the heavenly sign of Revelation 12:1-2.
As a watchman, I’ll try to refrain from predicting and just watch and report.
