"Reflections on Elijah and Passover: For Charles Holler"


 
Dear John, Charles, and all doves,
      Thank you Charles for your information about the earthquake near West Salem,IL. I live about 60 miles north of Milwaukee,WI. We did not feel it here. Your detail about nearby Mt. Carmel and the rapture of the prophet Elijah really got me going. Before his transformation he had the classic confrontation at Mt. Carmel, Israel. He warned the people there that they could no longer dance between two opinions. They could not serve both the real supreme being and the bogus sun god. They had to choose. As we might phrase it today, sitting on a fence or being lukewarm were not options for them. This is a message for then and now. It reminds me about the warning for the faith house at Laodicia.  The phrase of vomiting out of one's mouth becomes different from the Greek to the Hebrew in the book of Revelation. The Hebrew language means He will block the door! The meanings are the door of Himself and the door of Heaven. This man, Elijah, may be one of the 2 great witnesses to come. These details are so interesting. This earthquake happened  before the start of Passover. In some Passover seders/siddurs a chair, place setting, and cup are placed at the family dining table and the door is left open. Then Elijah is invited to come in and join them! WOW!
      The time was rounded off to 4:37. If we add the numbers we get 14. When does Passover start? It begins as we go from Nisan or Abib/Aviv 13 to 14.
      Will the detail of West Salem or West Jerusalem be important for Israel in the next few years? Time will tell.

With Love and Shalom,
Jean Stepnoski
