"Luke 17: 25-31: The Days of Noah and Lot"
Dear Doves,
The
Master speaks of the days of Noah and Lot combined only in Luke 17:
25-31, part of His Olivet Discourse. On the Hillel calendar, Cheshvan
17 was 10-25. Can we link the days of the Gregorian calendar this month
to the numbers in verses 25-31? Will the dates from Cheshvan 17, 10-25
to 10-31 be a one week warning? The Noah and Lot families were
Gentiles. Let us use a calendar used by Gentiles and see links. The
Noah verses are 25, 26, and 27, like 10-25 to 27? The Lot verses are
28, 29, 30, and 31. Verses 32-37 do not match days on the Gregorian
calendar. Please note the curious and significant change in phrase in
the Lot verses. Verse 28 mentions "the days of Lot." Verse 29 and 30
refer to "on the day." Verse 31 changes to "on that day." This phrase
makes for a distinctive, set apart and highlighted day by
Messiah/Christ. This will not be any day, rather "on that day." Might
it be The Blessed Hope Day, that day? It would be the last of the days
of Lot mentioned, verse 31, as 10-31 begins for Israel.
The Lot family had no time to pack, take belongings, or say farewells.
They ran out of Sodom, as commanded, towards the foothills. LEAVE FAST
AND GO UP! Doesn't that remind us of events on The Day of The Blessed
Hope?
Keep WATCHING, dear Doves. Luke
17: 28-31 of the days of Lot, starting at verse 28, may be linked to
days on the current Gregorian month calendar. Gentiles use this
calendar. May we look to the days of Lot in verses 28-31, and the days
ahead of 10-28 to 31. As the days of Noah and Lot were, so again. These
are the days of Lot listed by verses in sequence: the days of Lot, on
the day, on the day, on that day. Paul taught that some would see the
day approaching of The Blessed Hope. If the Gregorian calendar dates
this month match the days of Noah and Lot, our special day, "on that
day," may be just before us. May we be WATCHING each Day for the
Beloved!
With Love and Shalom,
Jean
