"Days Ahead To Epiphany On 1-6-2023: See Luke 21:34"


   I wrote an earlier post about the ancient Roman Festival of the Saturnalia on 12-11-2022. The Messiah WARNED about 2 “Cares of Life” associated with it: drunkenness and dissipation (carousing). These behaviors will endanger people on the day that the Master suddenly returns. Then they will be left in a trap (snare). They will not participate in the rapture. Please reference Luke: 21:34. At www.biblegateway.com are 61 translations of this vitally important teaching of the Messiah. Simply type in Luke 21:34 and a translation name in caps, like ESV for example, then type in other translations to get the 61 translations. You can then compare and contrast words. Most use cares of life, drunkenness, dissipation, and carousing.

 

Worth noting about Saturnalia, is that the Julian Calendar is 13 DAYS BEHIND the Gregorian Calendar. www.vercalendario.info/en/calendars/julian-calendar/compare-2022.html So the most important ancient pagan Roman festival on  12-17 to 23 would begin, according to the currently followed Julian Calendar, on 12-30-2022 and continue 7 days through 1-5-2023. Has the 2nd most important celebration for the ancient Romans taken its place? For pagans now? On New Year’s Eve on 12-31 and a few days later? There may be a PRECISE MATCH UP OF THE MESSIAH’S WARNINGS in Luke 21:34 about “the Cares of Life” of drunkenness and dissipation (carousing) setting in on the day He returns LINKED to the pagan DAYS and pagan SPIRIT of the Saturnalia, and New Year’s Eve, and a week into the new year? Might The Blessed Hope be just before us, on or before the Feast of Epiphany on 1-6-2023, after Saturnalia will have ended on 1-5? The minor fast day of Tevet 10 will occur in this period, as well, from 1-2 to 3. It is annually THE LAST DAY of the 4 fast days according to the Prophet Zechariah: Tammuz 17, Av 9. Yom Kippur, then Tevet 10. Tevet 10 will be on THE 3rd DAY,  Day 3 of the Scriptural Week, from Monday to Tuesday this year. Will we be raised up on THE LAST DAY AND THE 3RD DAY? Shall the Messiah Groom break up the fast with the Rapture and turn Tevet 10 from a day of mourning into a day of joy, as promised by Zechariah? We shall know soon…

 

With Love and Shalom,
