I keep turning things over in my head about us going home soon. I have recently come across some things I want to put on the table.
Pastor Sandy of the Youtube "Soldiers 4 Christ", in one of his recent videos, expressed the insight that the 4th day of Hanukkah (Dec 28 this year) corresponds to the ending of a 40 day type of testing/judgment from Noah's time, the 40 days that the waters of the flood ascended and descended, and that that 4th day of Hanukkah (the 28th day of Noah's 3rd month) could also be clued to us in John 11 when Jesus got to Lazarus after he had been dead "4" days. Sandy expressed that one possible reason Jesus waited a couple days before going to Lazarus was that Jesus intended to raise Lazarus after the 40 day trial/judgement window of Noah's days came to a close.
Another thing Sandy brought forth (a number of years ago?) was about the meaning/significance of Lazarus' name, which is definitely a clue for us. Lazarus was Jewish. The name Lazarus is a Greek version of his Hebrew name . . . Eliezer. Eliezer means "God is Help", as in how Jesus describes the Holy Spirit as the Helper. Recall that Abraham's servant was a man also named Eliezer, a man who was tasked with getting a bride for the son. In the assignment, the bride had to say "yes" (or "no") without having seen the potential bridegroom, going only by how "The Helper" revealed him to her. Can you relate? Also, part of the assignment from Abraham to the Helper was that the son was not to go all the way to the bride but the bride had to be brought up to the son. Abraham's servant-Helper illustrates the role of another Helper in our days. Lazarus' Hebrew name was not a coincidence in my estimation.
So, when Jesus in John 11, called out to the "God is Help" with a loud voice, while being in an area called Bethany (in Aramaic means "House of Misery/Poverty") where a lot of people lived who needed healing, and who called out to the Helper to come out of a place of darkness, a place of death, and after the Helper who en-life-ned Lazarus came out, Jesus said to others to remove the grave clothes (a picture of our mortal bodies).
In other words, when Jesus calls out for us to go home, because of our union with the Godhead as New Creations in Christ Jesus, in oneness with the Holy Spirit, Jesus is also calling out to the Holy Spirit to come out of the place of misery, poverty, darkness and death.
What day? Perhaps the "4"th day as also in the 4th day of Hanukkah, the day after 40 days since the anniversary of the beginning of the judgement during Noah's days. I think when John wrote the gospel that bears his name, he was very selective as to what events in Jesus' life to present, not for the purpose of a synoptic account to tie in with the other three gospels, but John presented a "tied together" set of clues one after the other (intentionally or not, the Holy Spirit did intend it). That is why, I think, John talks about Jesus at the Feast of Hanukkah in the latter half of John 10 and then segues right into the account regarding Lazarus at the beginning of chapter 11.
The above also reminded me of something else, that per the Book of the Jubilees, the 28th day of Noah's 3rd month was also the very day when Eve was finally allowed to enter the same place within the garden that Adam had entered 40 days prior, the place in the garden of God's manifest presence.
Jesus showing up on the 4th day of Hanukkah is also Him showing up/manifesting in the middle of a 7. He did this two other times: one time during the Feast of Tabernacles, and another time when He rose from the grave in the middle of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Might there be three days of some kind of darkness starting on Christmas day? with a resurrection of the Dead in Christ right after?
December 28th is a Saturday. Depending on the time zone Jesus comes for us, it might be Sunday in some places. I mention this because this timing would go along with the vision of the Swedish boy from years ago.
Watching, watching.
