"THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF
THE LORD" IS WITHOUT QUESTION A VERY
IMPORTANT YEAR FOR THE LORD AND FOR US.....
"To proclaim the
acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of
vengeance of our God."
This tells us that 'the
day of God's vengeance' will come in "the
acceptable year of the Lord". We
who are knowledgable in the Scriptures know that the
day of God's vengeance will be directed
toward Israel for their unrepentance. The Church/bride
is not appointed to wrath, but will be raptured out
of the way of the great tribulation
of Israel.
Luke 4:19 Jesus is speaking
"To proclaim the
acceptable year of the Lord." (And
then He closed the Book and sat down.) Why did he
close the book at that point ?
To my knowledge this is the only
time that Jesus is recorded in the Scriptures as
actually reading a prophecy from the prophets.
This must be extremely important. What He did not
read is instructive in of itself.
This is conjecture on my
part, but I believe that for a particular year to
qualify as "the acceptable year of the Lord" it must
also be a 'year of perfect order' in which the days of
the week exactly coincide with the actual days
of the Passion Week. The New Moon first day of the
month of Nisan must fall on a Thursday
so the the Passover falls on Wednesday the
fourteenth and the Resurrection falls on Sunday
the eighteenth.
The next time that happens
according to the NASA Lunar Calendar for Israel
is: New Moon Nisan 1, 5776 which is Thursday
April 7, 2016 which is also in the next Jubilee
Year (1967 + 49 = 2016).
Look what James and Joel say
about the first month which is Nisan:
"Therefore be patient,
brethren, until THE COMING OF THE LORD. see how the
farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth,
waiting patiently for it until it receives the early
AND LATTER RAIN."
"...For He has given you the
former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to
come down for you - the former rain, AND THE
LATTER RAIN IN THE FIRST MONTH."
Therefore we are promised
that Jesus, who is the Latter Rain, will come down for
us in the first month which is Nisan.
This Scripture is also
speaking of the first month of Nisan, and not
"still four months" later:
"My food is to do the will of
Him who sent Me and to finish His work. Do you
not say there are still four months and then
comes the harvest ? Behold i say to you, lift up your
eyes and look at the fields for THEY ARE ALREADY
white for harvest. And He who reaps receives
wages, AND GATHERS FRUIT FOR ETERNAL LIFE..."
Therefore we are told that
the Lord will "finish His work" by rapturing
the Church/bride in the first month of Nisan, not "still
four months" later because like the white Barley
the Church/bride is "ready for harvest" by
the rapture. "He who reaps" is Jesus who "gathers
fruit for eternal life" , the firstfruits
of the Spirit, by the rapture of His
Church/bride in the first month of Nisan.
