"We Need to be Counting the Omer - 40 to Ascension Day 50 to Pentecost"


Dear Family,

We Need to be Counting the Omer.

I lost my job on Fri April 25, (day before the evening starting Nissan 21), that Saturday my laptop computer quit working, all my files locked up… so I naturally thought, that’s fine we are out a here…I really believed that…read on…  I have quickly recovered..smile…I’ve had two interviews, I recovered my files, and I am still watching!

I am not sure where to start.  I want to communicate clearly without you being tuned to another frequency.  I am emotional about my Savior.  I have been known to over react.  I believe He loves me for it and there is no need for forgiveness.

Joseph’s brothers were offended when he spoke of his dreams to his brothers.  You can imagine how they must have felt.

I have had dreams that I have not shared because I do not want to tune you out.  I will not share them, but I will share that I know God is working a plan for His people to escape, just as He did for Joseph’s family.

I hear the rebukes and sneers.  “You believe your dreams are special…well everyone has dreams…many have had dreams that did not come to pass…just lay down and deal with it…”  These are the thoughts of Joseph’s brothers.  This is why I have trouble sharing.  I want so much to send a warning that is acted upon.  My dreams mean nothing to you, but I know that Joseph’s dreams were what kept him going when he was down in the pit, when he was bound and dragged to Egypt, when he was in prison, when he was betrayed…  Even so my dreams keep me going.  I know there is fulfillment ahead.

I want to warn that the Groom’s Father very most likely has delayed His Son’s coming for His Bride, but it is only for a very short time.  I believe that Nissan 21 was the appointed time, but He has chosen to delay.  (this is Scriptural:  Delay Related:

This is most beautiful and sets me free!! (this was written a year ago and it does leap within me.)

 

I believe the day will come this spring, and I have known, according to Scripture that I would know in advance.  (Reading about Simeon &  Anna leaped within me as the Word confirmed what God had spoken to me the night I was saved…I knew I would see the return of Jesus for His Bride.)  I know this is contrary to what is commonly taught, but there is another side.  I am talking about being obedient to watching and praying, regarding not being caught unawares.  Most Christians cannot hear a warning because of the reality of the guilt of not watching, of not being ready.  Repentance is what is needed to hear.  It is just a bent knee away.  I want to woo you into watching, into getting ready.

I believe that God put His finger on the appointed time, Nissan 21 (read my previous posts.)  Has He put His finger on the delay?  I believe He has.  Is it coincidence that 40 days is the exact period of time to the 41st anniversary of the Six Day War?  It began on June 5th at 7:45am.  I believe the Rapture may happen during the previous night (preventing a full 41 year count – this is important because this could mark the end of the Times of the Gentiles spoken of in Scripture, or it could be a dramatic fulfillment of something else).  Keep in mind that the Jewish day begins the evening before.  It could be at twilight, but as Jewish custom fits the parables shared by our Savior, Groom, and King, it may be a midnight occurrence, at this time, I would guess the 2nd or 3rd Jewish night watch.  I fully expect “Elisha double portion blessings” to be graveside and see the graves open up!

 

This date is highly significant to Jews.  The “41 stripe principle” judgment will be complete before the close of that Six Day War Anniversary (it is quite appropriate to be even before the start of that war.)  41 stripe reference: http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/apr2008/cindyb428.htm  (The orthodox Jews are aware of this principle and its timing with their nation.  They are expecting a huge change in their land, and they are overjoyed with the anticipation of the 60 year Anniversary as a nation.  They expect victory in the next war.)  I believe that with ancestors again walking the streets of Jerusalem, that many Jews will finally know, their eyes will have been opened.  This will be history of history.  I will again be watching in the cemetery.  It was covered with snow on the 21st of Nissan.  I was all alone in my cemetery.  The trees were clapping their hands in the gale force winds.  They again heard the hymns of rejoicing that have been sung for over 100 years on those grounds by the river.  I sang to those trees from a hymnal so I know they recognized the songs.  There was a finch that wandered to within 3 feet of me.  No one can take from me the joy of that hour.  Tears had fallen on my face in years prior to that when I had silently prayed “I will see you rise from this grave.”  The hour passed quickly and I knew in my spirit that I had experienced a powerful rehersal.  The word rehearsal became a song in my heart, because I knew the day would still come very soon.  I also was aware of the loved one gathering others in heaven to rejoice in the faith that was found at her graveside.  Yes, I know what a wonderful day that will soon be.

Dear Brother and Sister, I know the Word to be True.  I know He has appointed times to accomplish His Will.  Do you not recognize that 40 days after Nissan 21 is the Ascension Day of our Lord (Luke 24:29)?  And again, it is 40 days to the “41 stripe” judgment of Israel?  This could be the day.  If it is another rehearsal, then fine by me.  I love worshiping my Lord all alone.  Have you not sung that song “I Come to the Garden Alone…” ?  You likely have sung it in a church service, but have you sung that song alone…to Him…. ?  There is a love heart beat that only lovers experience in times of being alone.  I look forward to the next rehearsal.  I expect Him to surprise us.

By the way, 10 days later is Pentecost.  I am hoping that the virgins that were not ready at the Rapture, will be ready in 10 days.  There just might be reason for tarrying 10 days.  I have not Scripture for this, but I want the Church to be spared the Tribulation, I believe He does also.  They are His Harvest.  He wants to bring them in.  How appropriate, because 10 days later, many awakened Jews could be spared the Tribulation as well.  He is not a respecter of persons, and I would not be surprised at His surprising all of us!!  Remember, we Gentiles are the ones grafted in.

If the real Ascension Day is not His delayed coming, then I suggest the real Pentecost 10 days later, but I believe that the Times of the Gentiles may come to a close prior to the “full 41 year” anniversary of the Six Day War.  God’s eyes will again be upon Israel.  Judgment is assigned for the nations.  I do not hear Jonah preaching to Nineveh in this hour.  I suspect the Holy Spirit filled churches should be preaching repentance.  The hour is short.  The days of counting the omer are being counted by only a few.   Counting of the omer is to the real Pentecost (June 15th), but there may be a special event at the count of 40, the Groom’s delay may be complete.  I will be watching both dates, as should you.

Please wake up and get ready.  Do not miss the joy of expecting Him to come.  Do not miss the joy of Him finding you waiting with your lamp burning and extra oil in your vessel.  You may not be able to be graveside, but I believe it may be better than being in church.  It would be neat to have some web cams focused on cemeteries.  Only children of faith would do such a thing as that!  There is Scriptural Jewish tradition of making all night watch vigils.  I know of no current Christian traditions…we have a hard time praying for even an hour!  We are no different from His disciples.  Spirit of God awaken us.  Open our understanding.  Stir our hearts.  Enlighten us as we read Song of Solomon.

How funny,   I was worshiping when I saw red flashing lights!  We must still abide by man’s laws.  I got a speeding ticket going to the cemetery…as if they could not wait!!  The officer asked me why I was in such a hurry.   I had to tell him the truth, “I am on my way to the cemetery, Sir.”  (I bet he never heard that excuse before!)

 

If you are reading this letter to my family, and you think this is all kooky, you may need some background reading of this peculiar person:

PS:  We need to get ready ourselves.  We need to be praying.  We need to be in the Harvest Fields.

That is where you will find me.  Missionaries are right where they want to be.

Americans are so rich they will find it difficult getting through the eye of the needle.  Africans, Asians, and the poor are being downloaded by the Spirit and they understand far more than us.  I KNOW there is a very SHARP knowing before it happens.  It may be seven days, it may be three days, it may only be the day of the day, but if we are not looking and watching, we will not have that sharp knowing.  DO NOT BELIEVE THAT NO ONE KNOWS THE DAY OR THE HOUR.  Scripture is clear.  What has been taught by teachers was what they were taught.  The Holy Spirit bears witness to the other side.  In 34 years, I have yet to read rebuttals of Rev 3:3 which was written by the disciple that leaned on the breast of Jesus:  “Remember, therefore, how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent.  If therefore, thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.”  This was written to Sardis, a dead church with a believing remnant.  God’s Word is True.
