"Re:  Hanukkah per Haggai"


Reference this post from both Marilyn Agee and Bruce Kessler:

Regarding a possible Hanukkah Rapture, or other significant happening (not knowing, just watching!).  The dates for Hanukkah are from the eve of December 15th – 23rd, ending right before Christmas this year (last year I believe it overlapped).  Look at the verses in Haggai 2.  Also noting the number 2 is the number for witness and Haggai is the 37th book in the Bible – 37 being a very significant number.  My commentary is in blue:

Haggai 2

15'But now, do (AB)consider from this day onward: before one (AC)stone was placed on another in the temple of the LORD,

The Rapture and maybe the Gog/Magog war would happen before the temple is built.

 16from that time when one came to a grain heap of twenty measures, there would be only ten; and when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there would be only twenty.

Trouble upon Israel, and also the United States

 17'I smote you and every work of your hands with (AD)blasting wind, mildew and hail; yet you did not come back to Me,' declares the LORD.

God has given plenty of warnings that have not been heeded…

 18'Do (AE)consider from this day onward, from the (AF)twenty-fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the temple of the LORD was (AG)founded, consider:

 19'Is the seed still in the barn? Even including the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree, it has not borne fruit. Yet from this day on I will (AH)bless you.'"

Neither Israel or the United States has borne fruit…

 20Then the word of the LORD came a second time to Haggai on the (AI)twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,

 21"Speak to (AJ)Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying, 'I am going to (AK)shake the heavens and the earth.

Yikes, maybe something coming here.  The 22nd is the new moon, Rosh Chodesh.  I have been looking at 11 and 22 and also Rosh Chodesh (see King David, Saul, Jonathan Rapture Archetype at www.tony4yhwh.com for more specific info)

 22'I will (AL)overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the (AM)power of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will (AN)overthrow the chariots and their riders, and the (AO)horses and their riders will go down, (AP)everyone by the sword of another.'

See verse 21 and then the results on 22…

 23'On that day,' declares the LORD of hosts, 'I will take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant,' declares the LORD, 'and I will make you like a (AQ)signet ring, for (AR)I have chosen you,'" declares the LORD of hosts.

After the warfare then Zerubbabel is given the signet ring – God’s Sovereign Chosen.

More here I’m sure…

Blessings,
