"Rosh Hashanah 2006"

ROSH    HASHANAH    2006 

This Feast Day has so many unusual points surrounding it I would like to take the time, utilizing as well excerpts from Signs of the End by Daniel Matson (www.jesus2006.org), to go over the revelation we have. 

 1 Thessalonians 5:

But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.  For you yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.  For when they say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman.  And they shall not escape.  But you, bretheren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 

Those who follow the light of the Word of God can see the Day coming, according to Paul.   

Let’s look at what Jesus would have to say: 

Revelation 3:3 

Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent.  Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief and you will not know what hour (Greek: ‘Fixed Schedule’) I will come upon you. 

Turn that around with reverse logic and Jesus is saying, “You will know the Fixed Schedule of the return if you watch!” 

I read a book years ago by Jesse Duplantis.  He took a trip to heaven and asked the Lord when He would return.  Jesus responded and said look in My Word.  Apparently the answer is RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. 

When the disciples questioned Jesus in Matthew 24:36 he said “of that day and hour knows no man.”  He was speaking on several levels.  First,  the Greek word oida, which is different from the word ginosko was used.  The word ginosko is knowledge by learning, whereas oida is intuitive knowledge.  Therefore Jesus’ answer was “No one can intuitively know” which would therefore leave the door open to gaining the knowledge by learning.   

Secondly, Jesus utilized the phrase “of that day and hour knows no man.”  To the Jew of his day, that day is Rosh Hashanah.  It could only occur once the Sanhedrin received word from two witnesses, since only they could make the legal call as to when to begin the New Year.  Jesus was speaking a message hidden in plain sight.  

Paul first wrote of the Rapture (the term Rapture is found in the Latin Bible) in 1 Corinthians 15:51.  He uses the term “the last trump.”  To Gentiles it is of little significance, but to the first century Jew it pinpoints a specific day.  That day is Rosh Hashanah.  The first trump represents the giving of the Law in the wilderness on Pentecost; the second or last trump gives the announcement of the New Year.  Paul is saying the Rapture happens on Rosh Hashanah.  Paul singles out a day (2-day frame of time) that is knowable. 

In his book Dan also says it is quite interesting that the same issue was debated before the birth of Christ.  The Rabbis did not want the people looking.  However, Simeon, Anna and the ‘wise men’ (the Magi) figured it out.  They walked it out on faith and knew it.  This though, as Dan wisely states, is another subject. 

Also Jesus stated in Luke 12:37 that “Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching.  Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.”  Strange that Jesus would command us to watch if we couldn’t know, isn’t it?

 It’s also interesting to note that the holy days set up in the Old Testament are Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement & Tabernacles.  When Jesus came the first time the first four of these were fulfilled on the very day they occurred.   

Utilizing 360-day years the Hosea prophecy of 2 thousand years comes into light.  HOSEA 6:2: “After two days he will revive us, On the third day he will raise us, so that we may live in his presence.”  

From AD 32, 2,000 360-day years ended in 2003.  The Hosea prophecy stated it was ‘after the 2 days (2 thousand years)’ that Jesus would return to deal with the Jewish people and the world for the seven-year Tribulation period.  How much after? 

Since Jesus said ‘not one jot or tittle’ would pass of the Word, we can be sure the Rapture could not have happened before the year 2003, being the fulfillment of the 2 days.  But it could happen from that point forward – the next question is how to triangulate.  Watch and you’ll see how God has done this for us.  The day is knowable (the Feast Day being a 2-day period, so we might say the nomenclature of the day is knowable – during Rosh Hashanah), but the major question still facing us is the year. 

There were several periods of 40 year and day judgment levied on the world according to the Bible, and this same 40 years is the equivalent of a generation spoken by Jesus.  The first was in the days of Israel’s wandering – the second was the 40 days and nights of rain that began in the time of Noah, which Jesus likened to His return.

The measurement should begin when Jerusalem was captured on June 7, 1967.  40 times 360 divided by 365.2422 will equal 39 solar years and 155 days.  That counts to November 8, 2006.  That would end the maximum lifetime of the generation of believers that witnessed all these things, according to Jesus.  To study all of the mathematical detail, buy Dan’s book – it’s the best single book I’ve read on the subject. You can get the detail there. 

Let’s continue… 

THE CASE FOR 2006 

Rosh Hashanah in 2006 is on a Sabbath.  The importance of the Sabbath is throughout the Scriptures.  A major hidden clue is in the Parable of the Ten Virgins.  The ten virgins of the parable await the bridegroom (Jesus) with their lamps (the Word of God).  But half of them have no light for they are out of oil (the Holy Spirit).  The oil lamp was utilized on the Sabbath for festivals.  Five virgins were unprepared for the Sabbath because they must now go out and buy oil on the Sabbath, which is not to be done.  These five virgins are unbelievers.   

Rosh Hashanah is just prior to the pivotal time of November 8, 2006 as well – the end of our Bible generation.  Jesus said that ‘this generation would not pass’ until the related prophecies were fulfilled for us.  He stated a maximum length. 

September 23, 2006 is also the autumnal equinox.  This is the start of autumn and precisely where Rosh Hashanah should fall.  The last occurrence was 1922 and the next is 2074.  This indeed has to be part of the plan of God.   

What’s happening in Israel and the Middle East now is leading up to (as soon as we’re gone) a Peace Treaty which will be signed (after we’re out of here) with a man whom you don’t want to know (and you won’t know his identity even though he’s right there right now, because he is restrained as long as we’re here, for about nine weeks more), and after it’s signed that’s when World War III begins shortly thereafter, and seven years of Tribulation. Aren’t you glad you’re going to miss all that? 

I end this with a recommendation to buy Dan’s book at the web site above (personal recommendation from 20 plus years of study in the area).   

And I end with a Scripture from Brother Paul: 

BEHOLD, I TELL YOU A MYSTERY: WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE SHALL BE CHANGED – IN A MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMPET.  FOR THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND, AND THE DEAD WILL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE, AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED. 

I CORINTHIANS 15:51-52

"Outside of Time and Space"

It is a personal belief of mine that the date of the Rapture can be known.Reason being,is that, why would God go through all the trouble to give us Types and Shadows,Feast Days(appointed times),and numerous examples of Events that were Prophesied to the very day.God delights in revealing the secrets that He alone posesses.I have 6 witnesses that can testify that what I am about to say really did happen.1 witness that frequents this site is a man by the name of Jeff Glawe.Back in 1998,the Lord was heavily drawing me to prophecy.One of the 1st books I consumed was M.J. Agees "End  of the Age".My passion for this book lasted almost 5 months.Regardless of her Timeline being off,this book was a huge source of many profound End Time Scriptures.I have always believed that the Rapture would take place on a Future Pentecost,until now.It was late January 1998 one night when I was woken up by what I believe to be the Lord.When I looked at the alarm clock to see what time it was,this is what happened.It was 2:29 Am.While looking at the clock,this was communicated to me in thought form."Remember this,this means something."

 

I struggled for months to figure out what 229 meant.8 years have went by and in Early June I finally think I know what it means.Jeff had sent me an E-mail from someone who posted a letter(on 5 Doves) saying Feast of Trumpets this year starts on September 22nd at Sundown.I fell out of my chair almost! Jeff sent me an E-Mail in June also that quoted a Rabbi who said"In the Bible time is reversed"."They told the Future backwards"Tell the letters in reverse"It is like mirror writing"God declares the End from the Beginning.These are some of the quotes from Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz.My wife is doubting me that 229 means 922.Quote"If God wanted to reveal that,why didn’t God just wake you up at 9:22?That is the amazing part of this whole story.If this was a TIME clue,according to the Rabbi,this could very well be the markings of God behind this whole strange event.The fact that it was 229 backwards proves that it could have been a Time Clue.

 

 

 

 

I share this remarkable story with all of you because I know how much people like us look forward to seeing Jesus and are not digging in too deep to the roots of this Earth.With everything going on in the Middle East,I have no problem believing that something outside of the Time Space Continuum was reavealing a clue.In 1998,did any of us know Israel would be trying to abolish Hezbollah  whose Headquarters are in Damascus by the way(Isaiah 17).I certainly did not.This strange event has proven to me that God does not deal with every Believer the same way.Theologians want to bottle God up and say he operates This way or that way with all.I Disagree!   See all of you on September 22nd.    Jay B.
