Hello, John and Doves,
Maybe The Date has been in plain sight all along—in some basement on Proxima Centauri 4.
It is written,
Now if Joshua had succeeded in giving them this rest, God would not
have spoken about another day of rest still to come.
Hebrews 4:8 NLT
But God had spoken about a day of rest, even five days of rest.
3‘For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall not do any work; it is a sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings….
23Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 24“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month on the first of the month you shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25‘You shall not do any laborious work, but you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD.’”…
The Day of Atonement
26The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 27“On exactly the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you, and you shall humble your souls and present an offering by fire to the LORD. 28“You
shall not do any work on this same day, for it is a day of atonement,
to make atonement on your behalf before the LORD your God. 29“If there is any person who will not humble himself on this same day, he shall be cut off from his people. 30“As for any person who does any work on this same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. 31“You shall do no work at all. It is to be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwelling places. 32“It is to be a sabbath of complete rest
to you, and you shall humble your souls; on the ninth of the month at
evening, from evening until evening you shall keep your sabbath.”…
39‘On
exactly the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered
in the crops of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the LORD for
seven days, with a rest on the first day and a rest on the eighth day. 40‘Now
on the first day you shall take for yourselves the foliage of beautiful
trees, palm branches and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the
brook, and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days. 41‘You shall thus celebrate it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42‘You shall live in booths for seven days; all the native-born in Israel shall live in booths, 43so
that your generations may know that I had the sons of Israel live in
booths when I brought them out from the land of Egypt. I am the LORD
your God.’” 44So Moses declared to the sons of Israel the appointed times of the LORD.
Leviticus 23:3, 23-25, 26-32, 39-44 NAS
Now, Leviticus 23:25 (NAS) says the following:
“You shall not do any laborious work, but you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD,”
concerning Yom Teruah.
Of Yom Kippur it is written,
you shall humble your souls and present an offering by fire to the LORD. 28“You
shall not do any work on this same day, for it is a day of atonement,
to make atonement on your behalf before the LORD your God. 29“If there is any person who will not humble himself on this same day, he shall be cut off from his people. 30“As for any person who does any work on this same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. 31“You shall do no work at all.
Leviticus 23:27-31 NAS
Far be it from Yeshua HaMashiach not to make an offering by fire on each of those two days in the same year—soon and very soon.
