When Heaven Closes: Third Temple Preparations and the Coming Drought and Famine

The third temple ready and waiting

In the narrow alleys of Jerusalem's Old City, just a stone's throw from the Western Wall, stands a modest building whose interior gleams with gold and silver. The Temple Institute is not a museum but a living testimony that history is about to come full circle. For thirty-seven years, Rabbi Yisrael Ariel has been preparing what many consider impossible: the construction of the third temple¹. Over 70 sacred vessels await ready for the moment when sacrificial smoke will once again rise from Jerusalem. This is no longer a dream but a concrete reality whose consequences will reach throughout the world.

In October 2024, the Temple Institute announced a significant advancement. All items necessary for temple service have been manufactured precisely according to Torah instructions². The golden menorah weighs 95 kilograms and its value exceeds two million dollars. The High Priest's breastplate shines with twelve precious stones, each representing a tribe of Israel. Sacrificial bowls, knives, and vessels made of silver and gold await implementation. Particularly significant is that over 500 young men from the tribe of Levi have been trained for temple service³. They know the sacrificial procedures, understand the rituals, and regularly practice in replicas of temple structures.

The intensity of preparation work has accelerated dramatically in recent years. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated in May 2025 regarding the takeover of Gaza: "Now we conquer, cleanse, and stay"⁴. On the same day, Prime Minister Netanyahu confirmed the government's policy. This is not a random political decision but part of a broader development where religious and political goals unite in a way not seen for decades. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has made changing the Temple Mount status quo an official policy of his ministry⁵.

The secret of the Red Heifers

The most significant single element for the continuation of temple preparation relates to red heifers. In September 2022, five red heifers arrived from Texas that met the Bible's strict requirements⁶. Byron Stinson, a Texas rancher and Christian, along with the Boneh Israel organization, funded the $700,000 project. The Israeli Ministry of Agriculture bypassed normal protocols to bring the animals into the country as "pets." Although Rabbi Azariah Ariel announced in March 2025 that the heifers were unsuitable for the ritual, many temple activists believe this to be misdirection⁷. In reality, flawless red heifers await their moment, hidden from public view.

When sacrificial smoke rises, Heaven closes

As we examine these concrete preparations, we cannot help but notice their prophetic significance. Jesus warned his disciples: "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)" (Matt. 24:15). Many interpret this as referring to the future temple and its desecration, which it is.

Revelation chapter 11 reveals that on the same day sacrificial smoke rises in the temple, two witnesses begin to prophesy. They receive power to "shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy"⁸. These two figures, interpreted as operating in the spirit of Elijah and Moses, proclaim truth for 1260 days. The world hates them, calls them tormentors of the earth, blames them for suffering. In reality, they only proclaim what is: the temple's sacrificial service has rejected Christ's perfect sacrifice.

Considering the theological significance, we must understand what rebuilding the temple really means. The Book of Hebrews clearly teaches that Christ has entered once for all into the Most Holy Place with his own blood⁹. His sacrifice was perfect and final. More essential than the temple is this sin: Returning to the old covenant sacrificial system is a direct declaration that Christ's work was not sufficient. It is the ultimate blasphemy against God, denying two thousand years of Christian witness. It is known that ultimately no temple even needs to be built, as the most fanatical Levitical priests and Temple Institute advocates know that a temporary altar can be erected practically anywhere they want it on the Temple Mount.

History shows that God does not leave such blasphemy unpunished. In Elijah's time, heaven was shut for three and a half years because Israel had rejected the true God¹⁰. The same pattern appears to repeat. When sacrifices begin on May 20, 2026, nature's response also begins. First imperceptibly, then with accelerating pace. Rainfall decreases, growing season shortens, harvest diminishes.

Thus saith the Lord GOD
"There shall be no rain in summer, nor snow in winter during the time of sacrifices."

Climate scientists search for explanations. Already at the end of July 2025, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts revealed a significant truth: Finland had just experienced a record 20 consecutive days of temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius, a phenomenon that shook meteorologists' understanding of how the climate system works. Meteorologist Joanna Rinne described the situation as exceptional: Portugal and Spain were forecast to see temperatures of 40-45 degrees, referring to a broader European heat wave whose cause no one could explain.

They speak of climate change, La Niña, changing air currents, but in reality it's about a spiritual cause-and-effect relationship. In rejecting the fountain of living water, humanity also loses physical water. This is not an arbitrary punishment but a natural consequence. When we break the spiritual order, we also break the physical order. Climate scientists are already grasping for explanations for the current summer in Finland and Europe, finding none. God is already giving signs and calling everyone to repentance.

Three and a half years of drought

The first year through the end of 2026 still appears tolerable, and Europe and the rest of the world are in denial, refusing to acknowledge the severity of the matter. Media speaks of exceptional and localized Middle Eastern drought and temporary phenomenon. Governments reassure citizens and promise action as well as humanitarian aid to the Middle East. Farmers hope for a better next year. In the second year, 2027, concern turns to panic and open alarm. Grain harvest falls by a third globally. Food prices triple. The first hunger riots break out in many countries¹¹.

The crisis accelerates faster than expected because the extent of the crisis is actually noticed too late. In autumn 2026, the UN Security Council convenes in emergency session. In November 2026, a global state of emergency is declared¹². By autumn, the first European countries begin rationing food and water. Digital registration becomes mandatory to receive food and water rations. Those who resist are labeled "hoarders" and "enemies of society."

We must be aware and acknowledge that EU countries are already preparing for this, as we see from the sections below, because current weather phenomena have already aroused concern among decision-makers. Meteorologists are puzzled and confused, as climate change dialogue alone is not enough to explain even current weather phenomena. More correctly, behind the scenes, the spirit of antichrist is the background decision-maker, who knows what the Lord has ordained to happen in the end times. The antichrist uses every opportunity to subjugate more and more people under his authority.

The EU's new European Water Resilience Strategy 2025 creates the foundation for control. The strategy requires member states to register and control all water abstractions digitally. Currently, 81% of water consumption flows through private systems without monitoring, which according to the EU must be 'corrected'²⁵. The registration obligation applies to all daily water abstractions over 25 cubic meters: This means in practice all agricultural irrigation, industrial use, even larger private households. The Irish model, implemented in August 2024, shows the direction: all water abstractions must be registered within a month of starting, and those exceeding a certain threshold need a license. Without a license, water abstraction is illegal²⁶.

The ongoing 'EU Water Infrastructure & Smart Metering for All' initiative requires the installation of smart meters in all economic sectors - agriculture, industry, households. These meters report water consumption in real-time to a centralized system. The Drinking Water Directive requires that all water data must be delivered to the European Environment Agency (EEA), which publishes an EU-wide overview regularly²⁷. Particularly concerning is that water body monitoring data is to be linked to digital identity. When water rationing begins during the crisis, everyone's water consumption has already been registered.

Those who use "too much" or are not registered in the system can be easily identified and excluded from distribution. The EU's new water directive even enables criminal liability for unauthorized water abstraction: In the future, it may be criminal to take water from your own well without permission²⁸. This real-world description shows how the infrastructure for totalitarian water control is already under construction, waiting only for a crisis to activate to its full power.

At the beginning of 2027, a decisive change occurs. The power obtained by WHO through pandemic treaties shows its claws. What better reason for complete, global control than climate crisis, water shortage, and growing famine. In early 2027, WHO and UN declare together: "Global resource coordination is the only way for humanity's survival"¹³. As the crisis develops, a universal digital identity is launched and for the first time since Corona, all cross-border, coordinated cooperation is done under WHO and UN authority. The world is divided into ten administrative or resource regions, which are managed coordinately and utilizing AI at every turn. Finland is known to be one of the most obedient students, so here all measures are implemented punctually and precisely.

At the same time, by early 2027 at the latest, all the world's central banks announce restrictions on the use of money to prevent hoarding. The central bank currency just implemented in 2026, which operates both in the EU and the United States, each under their own central bank but jointly managed through BIS, enables global control. Soon comes the order: 30-day transition period, after which no one can buy or sell without digital identification and registration in the "global solidarity community"¹⁴. Remaining outside the digital identifier already means almost complete isolation from all society at this stage.

The speed of all this astonishes both the whole world and Christendom, and due to cognitive dissonance, it will be difficult for us to believe all this is real. Many become completely paralyzed and blindly follow state leadership and world government. Our pandemic experience showed how quickly fundamental rights can be bypassed in the name of crisis. In March 2020, Finland moved from normal to state of emergency in four days¹⁷. Uusimaa was isolated, movement was restricted, assembly was prohibited. People accepted this because fear was greater than the desire for freedom. Now the crisis is real, the fear deeper, the measures considerably more radical. In the year 2026-2027, the world becomes unrecognizable. Those who opposed pandemic control as conspiracy theorists find themselves in the same boat with fundamentalists. Hunger and water shortage is a stronger motivator than fear of a virus. People who swore they would never take a digital passport queue for it to get water and bread for their children.

World Religion rises from the midst of famine

Particularly interesting is the reaction of religious communities. Initially, different religions operate in their own silos, distributing aid, water, and food to their own members. As the crisis deepens, this changes. Media and political leaders begin to blame religious disagreements for worsening the crisis. God does not discriminate, they proclaim. The God of love wants all children to be fed. The ecumenical movement, which has been building bridges for decades, activates¹⁵.

Practical pressure drives religions and states together. Food distribution points are merged. Christians, Muslims, Jews, and others share the same resources and drum how we are on the way to the same God. Theological differences feel insignificant in front of hungry children. First there was hunger in Palestine, now hunger threatens the whole world. Suffering seemingly appears to unite all countries for a moment and we live in a time of great but false peace. "This is what God wants", the Pope declares in his historic speech¹⁶. "We do not worship different gods but the same source of love by different names". Protestant churches, Orthodox, even many evangelical communities join the message.

Rumors of wars takes on a whole new meaning at the end of 2026, continuing into 2027 and beyond. Far in the north in Finland, we follow from the end of 2026 a continuous news stream of riots throughout the drought area, still lulling ourselves that this is a matter that doesn't concern us. A-Studio discusses strongly how many drought and famine refugees Finland can take, but the state administration already knows the truth: The drought appears to be spreading further, and climate scientists cannot give a reason for the phenomenon or predict whether this unprecedented weather phenomenon will stop. However, climate scientists' models have already given a forecast that is being protected from the public: If the drought continues to spread in this pattern, it will cover the entire planet by 2027, which means total ecosystem collapse.

At the same time, during 2027, a de facto single global religious system has emerged. It is not called world religion because the term would be too provocative. Instead, they speak of the "Common Path" or "Alliances of Goodness" and successful global ecumenism. In practice, all religions are forced to participate in the same system. Registration in the global community is a prerequisite for receiving aid. This is not a religious test but a demonstration of solidarity¹⁸.

Resource centers and the Mark of the Beast

As the crisis deepens, society's infrastructure inevitably collapses. Not all at once, but gradually. Due to ever-decreasing resources, the state cannot provide assistance to rural areas and sparsely populated areas, so as the situation worsens, the state carries out evacuations throughout the country, gathering the majority of citizens into special resource or survival centers, i.e., camps. The camps are centralized near large cities, but ultimately the camps are concentrated only in Southern Finland, where the largest population concentrations already are.

In resource centers, essentially new types of concentration camps, i.e., tent and barrack villages, the state can take care of feeding, medical care, and above all controlling large masses as efficiently as possible, and when the need is great, very few will question this.

Due to the crisis, energy is also extremely rationed and centralized, so energy is provided only to society's most critical targets, with the majority of remaining energy consumed in water purification and procurement.

Why are Jesus's followers demonized?

Because those who have seen the signs and believed the prophets and listened to the Holy Spirit have prepared for the beginning separation. They withdraw from society unnoticed, yet at the same time equipping themselves, taking care of their own everyday affairs. In society's eyes, those who do not submit and take the mark cause concern. In the name of public safety, states try to force Jesus's followers to leave their own wilderness lands, their own remote cabins, and bring the whole family to resource centers established at the end of 2027.

What does the Crisis look like for the entire ecosystem?

As nature dies from drought, the trumpets of Revelation begin to sound concretely. We must understand that during temple sacrifices, the time of the witnesses begins. During the witnesses' time, the trumpets of Revelation sound from the first to the sixth, which is Biblical. Study and measure these things against the Bible and ponder these descriptions.

The first trumpet is fulfilled when forest fires caused by drought spread uncontrollably: "there followed hail and fire mingled with blood" (Rev. 8:7). Ash and charred particles rain from the sky like black hail, a third of vegetation is destroyed.

The second trumpet sounds in water bodies. As water levels drop dramatically, algae explode in growth, turning seas and lakes red - "and the third part of the sea became blood" (Rev. 8:8). Lack of oxygen kills fish, shores fill with rotting carcasses.

The third trumpet, "Wormwood," is fulfilled when groundwater becomes poisoned. Drought concentrates minerals and heavy metals, pH changes, water becomes bitter and toxic (Rev. 8:10-11).

The fourth trumpet, when the world darkens from forest fire smoke and dust storms. The sky is dark brown for weeks at a time, sunlight dims by a third. Our beautiful Finland is unrecognizable, because the landscape with its charred tree trunks resembles a real post-apocalyptic scene: dry, black, gloomy dusty prairie.

The fifth trumpet brings "locusts": AI-controlled drones and systems that guide people to resource centers. They may torment people, not killing, but guiding everyone "for their own good" to safety, for five months (Rev. 9:5) with forced relocations. Scorpion stings and electric shocks given by drones herd the people.

The sixth trumpet tells of the chaos of resource wars. The 200 million "army" is not a traditional military force but the desperate struggle of hungry masses against government armies for dwindling resources. A third of humanity dies from hunger, thirst, and violence. We receive continuous rumors of wars throughout this entire drought period.

The year 2029 is true horror. Not exaggeration but fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. No one questions the measures because there is no alternative. The witnesses' words are fulfilled literally.

The Demonization of the Witnesses

Throughout this entire time, two witnesses do not just proclaim but their words witness the trumpet judgments. Revelation 11:6 says: "These have power to shut heaven... and to smite the earth with all plagues." This is not symbolism, because they proclaim God's judgment, which is fulfilled through natural cause-and-effect relationships.

The world misunderstands the connection. Media accuses the witnesses of being dangerous anarchists, rabble-rousers, cult leaders who cause humanitarian catastrophe. In reality, they only reveal the cause: Israel's initiated temple sacrifices rejected Christ's perfect sacrifice, therefore heaven closed. They don't perform magic, because God's word in their mouth witnesses what has been predetermined.

Every trumpet confirms their message:

• Behold, fire burns the lands because you rejected the living God!
• Waters turn to blood as in Egypt because you did not repent!
• Your thirst is a reflection of spiritual thirst!

People imagine the witnesses have magical power, but they only proclaim what the Lord has shown will happen and what is written in the Bible. When they say, there will be no rain, there is none. When they proclaim fire will come, it comes. This is not magic but the fulfillment of God's sovereign will.

Attempts to kill them fail because their work is not yet complete. Fire, the power of God's word, burns everyone who tries to silence the truth (Rev. 11:5).

Let us return to the present day

Finland's Evangelical Lutheran Church has been preparing this terrible path for years, together with the Bible Society: The new Bible translation UT2020 systematically removed Jesus's divinity, changed grace to goodness, and made God man's servant²⁰. The translation of Romans chapter 13 became in these heretics' hands a tool for authoritarian power. "Everyone must submit to the commands of authorities and officials", although the word "commands" does not appear in the original text²¹. The church is theologically and structurally ready to serve a totalitarian system, as happened during Nazi Germany. It is important for us to notice and recognize that individual people cannot accomplish this coordinated action. They are coordinated pawns in antichrist-directed activity. These people do not know that they operate under the spirit of antichrist, guiding the sheep they shepherd directly into the enemy's embrace.

2026 is soon

After May 2026, sacrificial smoke rises daily on the Temple Mount, as drought begins. Priests perform their rituals precisely according to Torah instructions. Fanatical Christians admire the ceremony's beauty and say we must study Torah, as Jesus did, telling that this is Jesus's religion and Jesus's people! Religious leaders praise the return to roots and Jews' right to their own faith, after all, all roads lead to the same God. At the same time, fields dry up, harvest shrinks, and famine spreads. The connection is obvious to those who have eyes to see, but most refuse to understand.

By summer 2027, the world has become unrecognizable, as described above. All commerce requires personal digital identification. Cash practically doesn't exist. Every transaction is recorded, every purchase tracked. Food and water rations are distributed "fairly" to those registered in the "solidarity community." Churches have become distribution centers, as the people wished, requiring digital identifier scanning at the door. "This is love in practice," religious leaders proclaim²².

Those opposing the system are driven to the margins already at the end of 2026. They are labeled as supporters of terrorist and selfish thinking, dangerous anarchists who threaten humanity's survival by their mere existence. The story is almost identical to what we heard when we didn't take the useless and dangerous Corona vaccines. Many remaining outside the system are Jesus's followers who recognize the mark of the beast and refuse to take it. They have prepared, but preparation has been criminalized as hoarding and lack of solidarity. Their children are taken into custody for child protection reasons to ensure children's welfare. Authorities conduct raids on hoarders' homes, confiscating food supplies for common use²³.

Traditional Christians are no longer Jesus's followers, because Jesus's followers begin to be spoken of mockingly as the Jesus movement or cult, just as was done in Jesus's time. It is said that a true Christian wouldn't let loved ones suffer, so Jesus movement followers are dangerous to all society and they must be isolated and collected. Concentration camps become reality again, but under a different name: This time people march to camps voluntarily because for many it is the only option.

On the first of November 2029, a turning point occurs. The symbolic beast that rises from the abyss finally receives power to kill the two witnesses²⁴. For three and a half years the world has suffered from their "plagues," but in reality from their message of truth. Now they lie dead, after a successful murder carried out and justified by the global community, on the streets of Jerusalem, on display: Here is what happens to all Jesus's followers and those who resist the system. The world explodes in celebration. People send gifts to each other, proclaim "freedom day." Media proclaims: "Finally we got rid of these fanatics who caused our suffering!"

For three and a half days the bodies lie in the streets. Cameras stream the sight around the world. Hatred and death unite the world one more time, because the apparent source and root of all evil has been jointly defeated. The two worst anarchists, terrorists, and rabble-rousers have been caught and slaughtered like Osama Bin Laden.

Then, on 4.11.2029, with everyone watching, the breath of life from God enters them. They stand on their feet and ascend to heaven in a cloud. At the same moment, a great earthquake shakes the earth. A tenth of the city collapses. 7000 die. All this in live broadcast witnesses that the false peace and time of distress has ended, the real horror and time of God's bowls of wrath beginning, with the antichrist revealing himself and breaking the peace. Finally, the witnesses' resurrection leads to the last call for repentance, while the world plunges into great wrath, the worst that has ever been and will be. The three and a half years of drought and famine have been small compared to what is coming next...

As we examine these events, we cannot help but ask: are we ready?

The signs are clear for those who want to see. The temple is nearing completion soon, because even a temporary altar is sufficient. Red heifers are being raised and have already been sacrificed in test cases. The political will exists. The global control infrastructure has been built and will be implemented during 2026. The pandemic showed how quickly freedoms can be taken away, with 99% accepting this. The climate crisis prepares minds to accept radical measures for our own safety.

The Bible warns: "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh" (Luke 21:28). This is not a call to passivity but to readiness. The wise virgins prepared, the foolish did not. The difference was not in religiosity but in practical preparation.

Each of us will soon face a choice, already during 2026: Do we accept a system that promises security at the price of freedom, food at the price of the soul? Or do we stand in truth, even if it costs everything? History remembers those who chose comfort over truth, but it honors those who stood firm in difficult times.

Sacrificial rites in Jerusalem will begin soon. Heaven closes. Famine spreads. Control tightens. World government and world religion form. All this happens before our eyes, but most refuse to see. They trust in human wisdom, political solutions, technological salvation. They don't understand that this is a spiritual battle where physical phenomena are only reflections of a deeper reality.

This writing is a call for everyone to begin preparing and equipping their own home church.

This writing is a call for everyone to prayer and turning to Jesus.

At the end of 2026, preparation is already almost too late, because many obstacles have already been put in front of it. Remember, when you prepare, don't make a show of it. Ensure that you and your family have a sufficiently remote place where you can go when the worst happens. It is written that Jesus protects his own, but each of us has our part to do before the wilderness journey.

Thus says our Lord, Jesus Christ:

1. "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour.

Truth is written visible on the pages of the Bible and in the words of the prophets. Those who seek will find. Those who knock, it will be opened to them. However, time is short and night comes when no one can work. The choice is before everyone: to serve truth or conform to falsehood, to stand or bow, to live or die. For "what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36).
