The Church and Samson, a Parrallel
It is my belief that yod he vav he, is with His Church, until, like Samson, they cast off The Mark, of Distinction, of being His people, that separates them from the rest of the world.
For Samson, His hair was the outward evidence of his Nazarite vow, placed upon him at birth.
For the Church, The Mark, now is The Seventh-day Sabbath.
When the Church like Samson, despises this "vow" of allegience to The Creator, she will like Samson, cast off obedience to this Sacred Trust.
When she teaches the need of keeping Sunday as a day of rest, then the time has come to separate from her.

I have now learned of the lunar Sabbath, and I now see that YHVH weeks are lunar quarter weeks, formerly called 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter and 4th quarter days or "Sabbaths" of the lunar cycle.
Psalms 104:19 He appointeth the moon for seasons-4150 (moed-appointment times of congregation): the sun knoweth his going down
Isaiah 1:13 Bring no more vain oblations: incense is an abomination unto Me; the new-moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with, it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
Rome persecuted unto death the lunar sabbath keepers, and nearly erradicated them from earth.
Isaiah 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall
eat the good of the land:
Isaiah 1:20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured by the sword: for The
Mouth of Yahovah hath spoken it.
Ezekiel 9:1 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice,
saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his
destroying weapon in his hand.
Ezekiel 9:2 And behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate which lieth
toward the north, and every man a slaughter-weapon in his hand; and one man among them was
clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in and stood beside
the brazen altar.
Here we see The Seal of Yahovah, "Yahovah", "New Yahrushalom", and a glorious Star containing "Yahoshua's New Name" placed upon those who have kept His Holy Shabat with The Seal on It of His Holy Tetragrammaton Name. Four letters heading up each of the 4 quarter weeks.
Ezekiel 9:6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
Here we see above Isaiah 1:20 that they shall be devoured by the sword, in Ezekiel 9:1, 2 the destroying weapon, must be a sword per Isaiah 1:20, A technology sword, an advanced weapon made in heaven.
The earth is filled with the corpses of the slain, for rejecting His Divine Timepiece by which all of His Divine Appointments are set. The apostate Seventh-day Adventists who receive the Rule of Rome by keeping it's calendar, and rejecting Yahovah's lunar calendar, are those slain, and for rejecting His Holy Name which His Four Lunar Shabats bear, each Letter at the Head of Each Week.
Ezekiel 8 depicts the 25 conference leaders who worship the sun in the east, with their backs to the temple, have rejected Yahovah, by rejecting His Calendar, giving obesience to Rome by worshiping the sun, the solar calendar.
These are the first to receive His Judgements. "Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house."

Paragraph 2
Oh, that the people might know the time of their visitation! There are many who have not
yet heard the testing truth for this time. There are many with whom the Spirit of Elohim
is striving. The time of Elohim's destructive judgments is the time of mercy for
those who have had no opportunity to learn what is truth. Tenderly will Yahovah
look upon them. His heart of mercy is touched; His hand is still stretched out to
save, while the door is closed to those who would not enter.
Here we see after Ez. 9, His people have been separated the chaff from
the wheat, Luke 3:17
17 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the
wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Isaiah 4:1
1 ¶ And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own
bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our
reproach.
Isaiah 4:2
2 ¶ In that day shall the branch of Yahovah be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of
the earth [shall be] excellent and comely for them that
are escaped of Israel.
Isaiah 4:3
3 And it shall come to pass, [that he that is] left in
Zion, and [he that] remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, [even] every one that is
written among the living in Jerusalem:
Isaiah 4:4
4 When Yahovah shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have
purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the
spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
Isaiah 4:5
5 And Yahovah will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her
assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon
all the glory [shall be] a defence.
Isaiah 4:6
6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a
place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
