Thanksgiving
I went with
them to the house of God, with the
voice of joy and praise, with a
multitude that kept a pilgrim feast
Psalm 42:1-4.
Enter into
his gates with thanksgiving, and
into his courts with praise: be
thankful unto him, and bless his
name. Psalm
100:4

There are only two contemporary
accounts of the 1621 Thanksgiving: This is
Edward Winslow’s account, which he wrote
in a letter dated December 12, 1621. The
complete letter was first published in
1622.

Our
corn [i.e. wheat] did prove well, and
God be praised, we had a good increase
of Indian corn, and our barley
indifferent good, but our peas not
worth the gathering, for we feared
they were too late sown. They came up
very well, and blossomed, but the sun
parched them in the blossom. Our
harvest being gotten in, our governor
sent four men on fowling, that so we
might after a special manner rejoice
together after we had gathered the
fruit of our labors. They four in one
day killed as much fowl as, with a
little help beside, served the company
almost a week. At which time, amongst
other recreations, we exercised our
arms, many of the Indians coming
amongst us, and among the rest their
greatest king Massasoit, with some
ninety men, whom for three days we
entertained and feasted, and they went
out and killed five deer, which they
brought to the plantation and bestowed
on our governor, and upon the captain
and others. And although it be not
always so plentiful as it was at this
time with us, yet by the goodness of
God, we are so far from want that we
often wish you partakers of our
plenty.

But the Pilgrims’ first Thanksgiving
began at some unknown date between
September 21 and November 9.
The date of Thanksgiving was probably set
by Lincoln to somewhat correlate with the
anchoring of the Mayflower at Cape Cod,
which occurred on November 21, 1620 (by
our modern Gregorian calendar–it was November 11
to the Pilgrims who used the Julian
calendar).

The 390th
anniversary is coming up
The Ezekiel chapter 4 prophecy deals
with prophetic periods of 390 years and 40
years.
It is important to correctly perceive
the literal meaning of this prophecy and
to grasp the existence of the concealed
end-time warning. The 390 year
period ended with the destruction of
Jerusalem!

Oct 2, 2011 Pilgrims celebrated Thanksgiving on Nov 11, 1621 a 390 year prophetic fulfillment this year?
leave a comment »
Yesterday I received an e-mail from Mr. Michael Wellman about the next Thanksgiving.
The letter points to a coming fulfillment of a prophecy of 390 years. The Pilgrims date of Thanksgiving was Nov 11 of 1621 with the date on the Julian calendar.
This is another fulfillment of prophecy for the coming 11/11/11 which from the article of yesterday by Mr. Wellman is the date for the feast of Tabernacles (7 month of Tishri) or seven years to the second coming of Jesus and the start of the Apocalypse for this year.
Thanks for sharing these very important facts with us Michael.
