Come Up Here and Come Away!
Clues to the Timing of the Rapture in Scripture and the
Star Gospel surrounding the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction of 2010
By Helena Lehman of
Pillar of Enoch Ministry
One of the most beautiful passages in the Bible is found in the Song of Solomon, which is a love poem written, at least in part, by King Solomon. Though it may have been written to woo a young noble woman betrothed to him, some claim it was meant to woo the Queen of Sheba. As a poem between a king and his bride-to-be, the Song of Solomon has many allegorical implications alluding to the imminent Wedding Supper of the Lamb with His Bride: the Two-House Church of Judah (Jewish believers) and Ephraim (Gentile believers). Upon re-reading a portion of this lovely poem recently, I noted a peculiarity that really held my attention. Note the two identical passages that are repeated in the following section:
“My beloved spoke, and said to me: ‘Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grapes give a good smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away!” - Song of Solomon 2:10-13 (NKJ)
In this Scripture, the fair Lady that the King desires
is told to “come away,” where the King is - not just once - but two times.
Since the Song of Solomon is an allegory of Christ’s love for His Bride the
Indeed, though many passages in Scripture hint at a “Rapture” or catching up of the Church, many naysayers within the Body of Christ argue that belief in a Rapture will leave many unprepared for any disaster, as well as the Great Tribulation to come when Yahweh will pour out His wrath on mankind. Many of these naysayers also think it would be a great honor to be called to fight for the cause of the righteous during the coming time of Jacob’s Trouble. However, though it may be a privilege for hardened warriors who have been specifically called to this task, or who are called to be evangelists like the 144,000 Witnesses, it is by no means meant to be the fate of all believers in Yahshua!
But because there are so many believers today who either believe they will have to live through the Tribulation or actually want to stay on the Earth throughout the Tribulation period and fight, it may be that Yahweh always intended to make it a CHOICE. In other words, it may truly be up to the individual believer to decide whether they want to attend the Wedding in Heaven or should stay to fight the Antichrist here on Earth. Nonetheless, whether or not one takes part in the Pre-Tribulation Rapture is also based on how one chooses to live their lives. If the believer in question pays no heed to Yahshua’s commands to love one another and to love God the Father with their whole heart, body, mind and spirit, they are consciously or unconsciously choosing to stay and will be left behind by default unless they change for the better beforehand.
In this article, I am going to show that those naysaying the Rapture for whatever reason are wrong to deny the many hints in Scripture of the reality of both a Pre-Tribulation Rapture and a second Mid-Tribulation (or Pre-Wrath Rapture) of the saints. In order to do so, I am going to overlook many of the more familiar passages concerning the Rapture and focus on a few obscure ones, like the passage quoted from the Song of Solomon earlier. In addition, I am going to point to the signs in the heavens that Yahshua warned His disciples to look for when His coming draws near. The most important of these signs is the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction of 2010. But before we explore its implications, let’s take a look at another Scripture relating to the Rapture that is tied to the passage quoted from the Song. It is found in Proverbs, portions of which have also been attributed to Solomon:
“Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, and do not stand in the place of the great; For it is better that he say to you, ‘Come up here,’ than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom your eyes have seen.” - Proverbs 25:6-7 (NKJ)
Note that in this passage, we are instructed not to be haughty or proud in the presence of the King, which alludes to our Heavenly Father. This is followed by a warning that we will not be invited to “Come up here” into the King and Prince’s presence unless we are humble and worshipful before them both! It is obvious that the Prince being referred to allegorically here is none other than Yahshua the Messiah, the great Bridegroom who asks his betrothed to “Come away!” in the Song of Solomon. It is therefore no coincidence that an expression that is nearly identical to the “Come away!” references in the Song of Solomon is found not once, but twice in the Book of Revelation. The first occurrence is as follows:
“After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, ‘Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.’ Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.” - Revelation 4:1-2 (NKJ)
In the preceding Scripture, the command “Come up here!”
is found in reference to an open door that allows a person to visit the throne
room of Yahweh in Heaven, where the Wedding of the Lamb will no doubt take
place. This command to enter through that open door is made at the beginning of
the Tribulation period, before the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls of God’s Wrath
are unleashed. Prophetically, this open door is an allusion to Christ’s Cross,
whose shed blood cleanses those who are covered by it of sin. It is also the
door given to the
“I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.” - “Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.” - Revelation 3:8, 10-11 (NKJ)
These passages are clearly referring to a supernaturally led Exodus of God’s servants to a heavenly place of refuge from God’s Wrath. Anyone who argues that they do not refer to the coming Rapture of the saints are not seeing the prophetic Language of God correctly and are giving a carnal rather than Holy Spirit led interpretation of these passages. Interestingly, this command to “Come up here!” appears again in reference to the resurrection of the Two Witnesses of Revelation:
“Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them (i.e. the Two Witnesses), and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, ‘Come up here.’ And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand men were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.” - Revelation 11:11-13 (NKJ)
This resurrection and subsequent translation of the Two Witnesses occurs at exactly the mid-point of the seven-year Tribulation period that is identified in Scripture as Daniel’s Seventieth Week. At the time that the Two Witnesses are caught up to Heaven with the command “Come up here!”, it is my contention that a final wave of attendees to the Wedding of the Lamb will be snatched away with them. This miraculous translation and snatching up of perhaps billions of new believers may actually release an enormous amount of supernatural energy that may trigger the massive earthquake that Scripture indicates will accompany their ascension into Heaven. In this way, the world may easily be duped into thinking those who are missing were merely lost in the quake rather then saved by Yahweh’s Grace and mercy.
In my book “The Language of God in Humanity,” it is
shown that the Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew, Chapter 25 refers to
Yahshua coming to take His Bride, the
Now that we have explored these Scriptures, let’s look at the heavenly signs that may be announcing the coming of the first or Pre-Tribulation phase of the Rapture and the imminent onslaught of the Tribulation. In my book “The Language of God in Prophecy,” I explore many heavenly signs that have or will occur between 1995 and the year 2017. I also show that the Tribulation may begin in 2011. If this is true - as the exhaustive findings in my book strongly suggest - then the Pre-Tribulation phase of the Rapture must occur sometime in 2010.
There are three major signs that occur in 2010. These
are the Solar Eclipse in the sign of Gemini that is best seen over
The connection of these heavenly signs with Bible prophecy cannot be clearly seen unless one has the baptism of the Holy Spirit and knows the spiritual meaning behind each planet’s and star sign’s physical and allegorical characteristics. For example, Uranus is the third largest planet in our Solar System next to Jupiter and Saturn. Now - according to the Gospel in the Stars and the Language of God that are a part of Sacred Astronomy - both Jupiter and Saturn represent Yahshua the Messiah in his differing roles. Utilizing these spiritual disciplines that righteous Sethites like Enoch and Noah understood, Jupiter can be seen to signify Yahshua as a Shepherd King, Kinsman Redeemer and Avenger of Blood while Saturn represents Yahshua as the Crowned King and Judge of a peaceful Universe finally and forever under His absolute and loving control.
Meanwhile, the planets Uranus and Neptune (the fourth largest planet with its own special story to tell, if only I had the time!) signify godly but hidden spiritual mysteries. Though they cannot be seen with the naked eye, Uranus and Neptune have great mass and exert strong magnetic and gravitational forces on the other bodies in our Solar System. This means that they also must have a strong hidden affect on the events revealed in Enoch’s Heavenly Tablets, which are found in the 48 constellations of the ancient Zodiac.
Now, in my book “The Language of God in History,” I examine Classical Mythology to show its amazing ties with the characters and events in the Old Testament historical narratives. Interestingly, the gods connected to the planets Uranus and Neptune are both likely deified perversions of the righteous man Noah. In keeping with the hidden aspect of Uranus and Neptune, my book also shows that Noah was likely a hermit like his great grandfather Enoch. Like Enoch, Noah may have remained righteous by keeping himself separate from the affairs of mankind and hidden from them so that only a few knew where he dwelled or how to find him.
Amazingly, many more of the physical characteristics of Uranus have strong biblical connections. For example, Uranus has 11 faint rings and 27 known moons, but only five of its moons are truly prominent. Likewise, the Bible tells us that there were only 11 faithful apostles of Christ and there are exactly 27 books in the New Testament, with five - the 4 Gospels and the Book of Revelation - that are more significant than the rest. In addition, the Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters - with five of those letters having an additional finial form that are shown to be tied to the Tribulation period in my book “The Language of God in Prophecy.”
Oddly, Uranus is also the only planet in the Solar System whose poles point nearly directly toward the Sun. In other words, Uranus appears as if it was knocked over onto its side long ago in some kind of massive cosmic collision. Allegorically, however, it appears as if Uranus were bowing toward the Sun, which signifies God the Father and the Preincarnate Christ. This, in turn, suggests that Uranus signifies true believers - those who are fully humble and repentant before God and His Son and not proud of their sins like the rest of unrepentant humanity.
Now, when pairing up the planets with the Zodiac signs
and Tribes of Israel in my book “The Language of God in the Universe,” the Holy
Spirit revealed to me that - as a large planet that is adjacent to Saturn but
too distant to be seen with the naked eye - Uranus signifies the Bride of Christ.
Because it is invisible without a telescope, Uranus also represents the mystery
of the
As revealed in the Parable of the Ten Virgins, only five of the Bride’s virgin handmaids are taken with her to the Wedding. The five handmaids that accompany the Bride because they have enough “oil” in their lamps signify groups of believers that have actively utilized their spiritual gifts to give light to others who are in spiritual darkness. Meanwhile, the other five virgins without enough oil that are left behind signify spiritually lazy people who do not share their faith in Yahshua or actively seek to draw nearer to God. Likewise, Uranus’ five prominent moons signify the Bride’s five virgin handmaids that have plenty of lamp oil while its 22 other moons likely signify all the people on the Earth today who do not know or love Christ.
As expounded in my books, the planet Jupiter also has
much allegorical meaning. Since ancient times, Jupiter has been considered the
“king” planet in association with the “king” star Regulus in Leo, as both of
these celestial bodies are often found to be prominent in the sky at the births
of great personages like kings. Jupiter is therefore associated with greatness
and is second only to Venus and the star Sirius in brilliance. Likewise,
according to the Jewish sages, Jupiter signifies their coming Messiah and King.
Not surprisingly, Jupiter was extremely prominent in the heavens at the most
likely time of Christ’s birth, which was between the summer of 3 BC and the
winter of 2 BC. As explained in my book “The Language of God in the Universe,”
the retrograde movements of the planet Jupiter may have been partly behind the
biblical description of the miraculous Star that the Magi followed to
Now, due to the Judeo-Christian allegorical meanings
behind the planets Uranus and Jupiter, any conjunction between them is quite significant.
Not only are they a symbol for the future Wedding of the Lamb, but of Christ’s
great love for His Bride the
Amazingly, the Zodiac signs that these two prominent
celestial events of 2010 will occur in are directly connected to the both the
Wedding of the Lamb and His Bride the
In modern times, Gemini still signifies the now ancient
war between Ishmael or Islam, and Isaac or Judeo-Christianity. However, though
it is the resurrected Yahshua who will bring these opposing factions together
one day in a truly lasting peace, the Antichrist must first appear to offer
these warring parties a temporary peace that will lead to the most oppressive
government and massive war in human history. This war has been dubbed the Battle
of Armageddon after the word used to name the valley in the Book of Revelation
where the Antichrist’s multinational armies gather (Rev. 16:16). This valley
can be identified with modern
Now, the most amazing thing about the conjunctions of
Jupiter and Uranus in Pisces in 2010 is that they will occur near to the center
of the fish on the ecliptic, and this fish is the one that signifies the
So, on Sunday, June 6th, 2010, a conjunction will occur
between Jupiter signifying the Messiah
and Bridegroom and the planet Uranus representing the Bride of Christ and five
of her handmaids. This conjunction will appear directly over the celestial fish
that is allegorically riding the celestial horse that carries our Messiah
between Heaven and Earth! Meanwhile, the Sun will be centered between the horns
of Taurus signifying the Tribe of Joseph, the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel and the
Amazingly, at the same time as the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, there will be another conjunction between the planet Mars signifying war and blood atonement and the king star Regulus in Leo that represents Yahshua our Messiah crowned as king and coming to defeat Satan and reign victoriously over the whole Earth. This Mars-Regulus conjunction therefore indicates that the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Pisces marks an event that will escalate the war between the righteous and the wicked and lead to the Second Coming of Christ. Isn’t it wonderful that Yahweh God always likes to provide a dual sign or witness to announce any major prophetic event? But this is not the only additional witness, for this amazing double conjunction on June 6th will be closely followed by another prophetically significant celestial sign.
On Sunday, July 11th, 2010 (or the 1st of Av on the
Jewish Calendar), the Moon will completely cover the Sun in a Solar Eclipse
that will best be seen over Easter Island in the South Pacific, and Easter
Island’s many odd lava-rock cut statues called Moai may signify the suffering
of humanity during the Tribulation period. Fascinatingly, the 1st of Av marks
the beginning of the nine days of awe leading up to the traditional 9th of Av
Jewish day of mourning over the destruction of the first and second

Later in 2010, on the evening just before the Sun rises on

Wrath of God to come, this Lunar Eclipse will occur directly over the tip of
the constellation Orion’s upraised sword. Since Orion depicts Christ, the sword that the Lunar

Lunar Eclipse Over Orion’s Sword - December 21, 2010
End of Excerpt from “The Language of God in Prophecy.”
In the same book that this excerpt came from, I hint that - since Rosh Hashanah or the Feast of Trumpets is tied to the Second Coming of Christ, and the Rapture is accompanied by a shout like a trumpet blast, it is possible that Yahshua will come for His Bride in the Rapture sometime during the two days of Rosh Hashanah in 2010, which will occur on September 9th and 10th. However, the second conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus over the fish of Pisces and back of Pegasus will occur on September 22nd, 2010, which will be the thirteenth day of the Jewish year 5771 and the spiritual beginning of the Gregorian year 2011. This suggests that the Rapture of the saints could also occur AFTER Rosh Hashanah in 2010, when many disappointed believers that are familiar with the prophetic nature of the Jewish feasts will definitely not be expecting it! This would explain Yahshua’s comment that He will initially return when people least suspect it (Matthew 24:44, Luke 12:40).
Now, if the fist Rapture of the saints will occur before the Tribulation begins, then it should occur before the Lunar Eclipse over the sword of Orion on the Winter Solstice of 2010, which may be the celestial marker for the beginning of the Tribulation period. As such, it is highly unlikely that the first Rapture will occur after that date. This means that the third conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus on January 2nd, 2011 may only serve as a final reminder to the people that are left behind that Yahshua has come for His Bride. Nonetheless, though it is unlikely, it is remotely possible that the first Rapture will not occur before the Tribulation, but sometime not long afterward. If it does, it will likely be before the Antichrist takes control of the world, and it is almost certain that the Antichrist will be in control of a world government and global military by the end of 2012.
In my book “The Language of God in Prophecy,” it is shown that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are symbolically connected to the Gospel in the Stars. In fact, four of the twelve major Zodiac signs represent these four horsemen that are part of the first four Seal judgments against unrepentant mankind. Ominously, on the Mayan date for the end of the world, which falls on the Winter Solstice on December 21st, 2012, these signs will house all the major planets and will form a giant upside down Peace sign in the heavens! Here is an illustration from my book showing this upside down or Anti-Peace sign and the Zodiac signs and planets that will be lined up in them on that date:
As shown in my book “The Language of God in History,” the Mayan calendar may have an Enochian or Noahide origin. This would explain why the Mayan date for the end of the world is identified in the Book of Revelation via the symbolism behind the Four Horsemen! However, since the Four Horsemen are released AFTER God’s command to “Come up here!” is uttered for the first time in the Book of Revelation, it is highly unlikely that the first Rapture will occur after the first four Seals are opened. Therefore, it is my strong belief that the first Rapture will occur BEFORE the Seal Judgments that will come upon the unsuspecting inhabitants of the Earth at that time.
Before closing this article, I wanted to mention the fact that, while searching for more information about the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction of 2010 on the Internet, I came across quite a few web sites with articles explaining the New Age and Occult point of view that unsaved Astrologers have of this conjunction. In the process of sifting through this material, I was shocked to discover how much they had written that gives this important heavenly sign a positive spiritual and carnal slant and seems to anticipate the Rapture in a twisted light.
In the minds of Occult practitioners and Astrologers, the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is a sign that the New Age of Enlightenment and Harmony that they think they are meditating and speaking into existence is going to take a big leap forward into reality this year. They think that this conjunction will have many positive spiritual and material affects, including helping those who embrace the dark side to generate more wealth, increase their sensual pleasure and find a deeper connection to the divine within themselves. Some even suspect that it may be a sign that Mother Earth is about to dispose of millions of supposedly spiritually retarded people in order to bring the New Age fully into existence.
Of course, this is undoubtedly Satan’s fictitious but cunningly compelling explanation for the reason behind and nature of the Rapture of the saints. There is also no doubt that many already deceived people believe this explanation and are awaiting this great sweeping away of degenerate souls. Unfortunately, in their spiritually blind eyes, all those who believe in the one true God and His Son are the ones supposedly holding back the transformation of planet Earth into a place filled with the New Age version of peace, love and harmony that not only tolerates sin, but encourages and celebrates it. Sadly, this New Age viewpoint has taken hold in every area of society today. In most places in the West, the Judeo-Christian view that we are all degenerate sinners that are ripe for an eternity spent in Hell unless we repent is seen as backward and defective. But the Bible makes it clear that the New Agers who reject this biblical view are the ones who are being deceived, and they are the ones who will perish when they accept the Great Deception of the Antichrist and follow him into perdition.
In the meantime, as believers await Yahshua’s return to Rapture His saints, they need to take advantage of their authority, duty and privilege in Christ and pray that all these lost souls will find the light of Yahshua and the Holy Spirit before it is too late. In addition, they need to pray that they and all their fellow professing Messianics and Christians will be ready when Yahshua comes for them.
To that, I say: “Amen and Maranatha!”
