In Isaiah 18:5, the LORD has promised Isaiah that, Before the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, He will both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches. Lets take a look.

 

DOES THE “BUD BECOME PERFECT” ON DAY SEVEN OF THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD

 

At THE FIRST Exodus, all Israel exited the Red Sea on day seven of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, after God’s fury had been meted out on the Egyptians. The equivalent date this year on the Qumran/Enoch calendar is April 10, 2018. 

In Leviticus 23:6-8 we read that the LORD’S Feast of Unleavened Bread falls on the fifteenth day of the first month, with the first day and seventh day holy, with offerings made to the LORD by fire for seven days.

 Isaiah 30:26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day the LORD binds up the breach of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound. 27 Behold, the name of the LORD comes from afar; burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire.

Lest we forget the “Sun of righteousness” who arises with healing in his wings comes on a day burning as a oven. Malachi 4:1-2

In Hosea 6:1-2 again you will read where “He has torn, and will heal us; He has afflicted, and will bind us up. 2 After two days He will revive us: on the third day [April 10?] He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight”

Could the coming “seventh day” be the day God PROMISED Isaiah that when the “bud is perfect”, a “present/remnant” will be brought to the Lord of hosts, to the mountains of Zion. Isaiah 18:5-7?

The familiarity of the Isaiah 18:5-7 text and Isaiah 30:29 is compelling. You shall have a song, as in the night a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.

Remember we are in that “70”and last year of Daniel 9:24 that Israel declared statehood that counts out on May 14, 2018, whether it counts out on the ‘seventh day’, April 10, 2018 or then, the days are short and time is fleeting!

My forecast date for “peak bloom” date is in red.

Year	Green Buds	Florets Visible	Extension of Florets	Peduncle Elongation	Puffy White	“Perfect Bud”
2018	Feb 25	Mar 15	Mar 26	?	?	April 10

 

The LORD has promised Isaiah telling him that before the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, He will both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.

BTW: Grapes do not come from flowers or seeds they germinate through the roots like radishes and carrots.

Have you ever bitten into a Morello cherry? It belongs to the sour-cherry (Prunus cerasus) species and its fruits are smaller than dessert cherries, and look like seedless grapes. The “sour grape” ripening in the flower in the text below could very well be of the sour cherry species?

HE WILL SET HIS HAND AGAIN A SECOND TIME

Yes, He will set his hand again the SECOND TIME to recover the remnant of his people and bring them into the wilderness, while He pours His fury out on the nations with His storm.

This SECOND EXODUS from seven continents is so much greater than the “first Exodus” it won’t be mentioned again!

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD lives that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

15 But, the LORD lives that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands where He had driven them: and I will bring them AGAIN into their land that I gave unto their fathers. Jeremiah 16:14-15

WHY IS IT GREATER AND WHAT MAKES THE “FIRST” FORGETTABLE?

Remember it is God’s angels who are “given charge” to gather and bring the remnant into the wilderness mountains of Israel! We witness angels doing that after the storm of tribulation in Matthew 24:31!

Psalm 91:9 because you have made the LORD, your refuge, even the most High, your habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. 11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. 12 They shall bear you up in hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

The greater “second Exodus” is prophesied in Exodus 15:13-18

Exodus 15:13 In your mercy, You have led forth the people You have redeemed: You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation. 14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. [This fulfills the “tempest storm” of Psalm 83 destroying Israel’s regional enemies, so the remnant of Isaiah 11:14 can fly in!]

16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of your arm, they shall be as still as a stone; till your people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which you have purchased.

17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountains of your inheritance, in the place, O LORD You have made for You to dwell in, the Sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established. 18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.

It is IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND this;

Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, (Yeshua) who shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, the LORD shall set his hand again the SECOND TIME to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. [That “present” brought to the mountains of Israel of Isaiah 18:7 above]

AFTER TWO DAYS, [APRIL 8-9], HE WILL REVIVE US ON THE THIRD DAY [APRIL 10]

Remember, this occurs over two days of darkness on the “day of the LORD” fulfilling the, “Come, let us return unto the LORD: for He has torn, and will heal us; He has afflicted, and will bind us up. 2 After two days He will revive us: on the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight. 3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: Hosea 6:1-3a…

Don’t forget that “two day” storm of the LORD of Isaiah 28:2. Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.

19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning (2) shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation to understand the report.

THE WHIRLWIND OF THE LORD

We again read of this storm and that “perfect bud third day” simultaneous event in Jeremiah 30: 23 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goes forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. 24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until He has performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days you shall consider it.

 31:1 At the same time, saith the LORD, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. 2 Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the storm found grace IN THE WILDERNESS; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. This fulfills the “present brought” of Isaiah 18:7

I WILL BRING YOU INTO THE WILDERNESS

Ezekiel 20: 33 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, I will rule over you: 34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. 35 And I will bring you INTO THE WILDERNESS of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.

DOES THE SHEKINAH GLORY RETURN ON THE SOLEMN SEVENTH DAY, APRIL 10?

Isaiah 30:26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day the LORD binds up the breach of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.

27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe to come into the mountains of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.

30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones. See Isaiah 28:2 above.

REPENT The Kingdom of God and the authority of His Messiah is at the door. An Ezekiel 33:6 watchman
