Hello, John and Doves,

 

In the movie, True Lies (20^th Century Fox—1994), a terror group called itself the “Crimson Jihad.”

 

We did not know then that we would be standing alongside Israel in prayer, and still on the Earth in these mortal bodies through most of Daniel’s 70^th week.  The so-called “Tribulation” was supposed by some (including me at that time) to have lasted 7 years on an Earth bereft of the Bride of Christ.

 

But we were called to suffer for the name of Yeshua HaMashiach, and stand alongside the apple of His eye [Zechariah 2:8], Jerusalem.

We now pray for the peace of Jerusalem in a timely manner as we listen to the news.

 

Obama is a tool—for whom, exactly, we do not know.

 

But he will undoubtedly be responsible for the deaths of many sea creatures as the push to search for oil off the East Coast begins.

Note that he has failed to call for, say, a 1000 mile Exclusive Economic Zone to claim ahead of time any such finds for America.  Essentially, we are spending our money to research possible oil fields in order for someone else to claim any and all oil found thereby.

Anymore, we can’t pay off our National Debt, because we steadfastly reward the rich with tax breaks, and pummel the poor with back-breaking taxes.

Who’s going to pay for this welfare for the rich?

 

Any national monetary tax more than 12% is sin [Leviticus 27:31].  Period.  Unless we are at war—then an additional 12% can be added.

Under any definition, Obama is at least one of many antichrists, because the righteous [Jews and Christians] are hard put to pay their tithes.

Oh, and by the way, we Christians are not required by God to pay the tithe, but His blessings still stand.  [Malachi 3:10 and 2 Corinthians 1:20)

 

And how do we know that Yeshua HaMashiach will come on time?

 

It is written,

          A Time for Everything

1For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

2a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
3a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8  ESV

 

Ha, Ha, Ha, Huh?

 

It is written,

          The Coming of the Kingdom

20Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, 21nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”^h

22And he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow them. 24For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.ⁱ 25But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

Luke 17:20-27  ESV

 

Noah = Christians:  1 Corinthians 15:50-58 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

 

Again, it is written,

          28Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— 30so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. 32Remember Lot’s wife. 33Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it. 34I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. 35There will be two women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.”^j 37And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the corpse^k is, there the vultures^l will gather.”

Luke 17:28-37  ESV

 

Lot = Israel.

 

When will all these things be?

 

It is written,

          In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month--on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.

Genesis 7:11  NIV

 

Again, it is written,

          13By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.

Genesis 8:13-14  NIV

 

This is a count of 1 year (360 days, prophetically) plus ten days = 370 days

 

It so happens that 5775 has no leap month [no Adar I—Adar II being considered the Adar of a regular year).

 

1 Tishrei 5775 to 1 Tishrei 5776 is 355 days, including the endpoint.

 

So, 29 Elul 5774 (erev Rosh Hashanah 5775) to 15 Tishrei (Sukkot = Tabernacles) 5776 is 370 days, including the endpoint.

 

And why do we include the endpoint?

It is written,

          The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.

Exodus 12:37  NIV

 

The first time around, the 12 spies entered the Promised Land during the grape harvest, traditionally starting from Tu B’Av and ending on Yom Kippur (In 5775-5776, this period will be from Friday, 31 July 2015 to the evening of 22 September 2015 to the evening of 23 September 2015).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_B'Av

 

Forty years later (for the

Please consider that Yeshua died on a Friday, before sundown, and rose on Sunday, right at sunup.  That counts as three Biblical Jewish days, because all days are from evening to evening.

 

We know that Yeshua HaMashiach is coming at the beginning of the Third Millennium AD,

because it is written,

          2After two days he will revive us;

on the third day he will restore us,

that we may live in his presence.

Hosea 6:2  NIV

 

This clearly proves the Friday to Sunday scenario for the death and resurrection of Yeshua HaMashiach.

 

The Days of Noah? [erev Rosh Hashanah 5775 to Sukkot 5776]:

          From and including: Wednesday, September 24, 2014
To and including: Monday, September 28, 2015

Result: 370 days

It is 370 days from the start date to the end date, end date included

Note:  370 days = 8880 hours!  http://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?m1=9&d1=24&y1=2014&m2=9&d2=28&y2=2015&ti=on

 

Remember, it is written,

          20“If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 23So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time.

24“But in those days, following that distress,

“ ‘the sun will be darkened,

and the moon will not give its light;

25the stars will fall from the sky,

and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’^c

26“At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.

28“Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 29Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it^d is near, right at the door. 30Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 31Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Mark 13:20-31  NIV

 

Verse 20 explains in a nutshell why we are still here, standing alongside Israel, even though Daniel’s 70^th week started right on schedule, at sundown back on Monday, 29 September 2008.  Before sundown, it was of course 29 Elul 5768.

 

Verse 24 details the last lunar eclipse of this tetrad, plus the solar eclipse on 1 Tishrei 5776:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_September_13,_2015

 

Verse 27 may speak of two Raptures, 370 days apart.

 

We know that Jesus returns in 5776, and that the Rapture is near because of this story:

Again, it is written,

          The Day and Hour Unknown

32“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Be on guard! Be alert^e ! You do not know when that time will come. 34It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.

35“Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’ ”

Mark 13:32-36  NIV

 

Once more, it is written,

          So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

Matthew 24:44  NIV

 

Some insight:

          The modern Hebrew calendar has been arranged so that Yom Kippur does not fall on a Friday or Sunday, and Hoshana Rabbah does not fall on Shabbat.^[1] These rules have been instituted because Shabbat restrictions also apply to Yom Kippur, and if Yom Kippur were to fall on Friday, it would not be possible to make necessary preparations for Shabbat, including candle lighting, because the preceding day is Yom Kippur. Similarly, if Yom Kippur fell on a Sunday, it would not be possible to make the necessary preparations for Yom Kippur, including candle lighting, because the preceding day is Shabbat.^[2] Also, the laws of Shabbat override those of Hoshana Rabbah, so that if Hoshana Rabbah were to fall on Shabbat certain rituals that are a part of Hoshana Rabbah services (such as carrying willows, which is work) could not be performed in that year.

As a consequence, in the case of Yom Kippur, which falls on 10 Tishrei and cannot fall on a Friday or Sunday, the days in Cheshvan and/or Kislev are adjusted so that Rosh Hashanah, which falls on 1 Tishrei, does not fall on a Wednesday or Friday. And, in the case of Hoshana Rabbah, which falls on 21 Tishrei and cannot fall on a Saturday, Rosh Hashanah cannot be on a Sunday. This leaves only four days on which Rosh Hashanah is allowed to fall: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, which are also referred as the "four gates".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Days_of_week_on_Hebrew_calendar

 

There are four cardinal directions, in this particular order [Numbers 2]:  East, South, West, and North.

 

Since the lion’s share of Rosh Hashanah 1 of 5776 falls on a Monday, we can expect Yeshua HaMashiach to arrive on foot at the Temple Mount through the East Gate on Yom Kippur, right after the judgment in the valley of decision.

[Songs 2:17, Joel 3:2, 12, 14, Zechariah 14]

 

Be ready to cross into the Promised Land!          http://www.raptureready.com/resource/robinson/br3_13.html

 

Now hear this:

Moses was 80 years old when he spoke to Pharaoh through Aaron.  He was 120 years old when he died—in the same year that Joshua led the Israelites over Jordan.

 

This means that the 10 plagues did not take years, or even months to take their course.

 

There is no reason to believe that God will give this old world any longer than that which is absolutely necessary for all the elect to repent.  So 370 days does not seem like too short or too long a time!

 

~Blessings,
