I was studying off of Lisa Taylor's June 27, 2021
post and came across something meaningful that seems
to point to us going during that same season, Tisha B
Av through to Tu B Av, or this year being August 12/13
through to August 18/19.
First, I looked at the Hebrew Gematria of certain
words in Numbers 13:20-24 using this website: . I found the Hebrew of
particular English words in Bible Hub website. I
consider myself a preschooler at looking at God hiding
clues according to the numbering total of Hebrew
letters in words.
I was looking for relationships between certain
Hebrew words in that Numbers 13 passage that might
have the same Gematria value. In retrospect, I
believe the Holy Spirit was guiding me to do this
because at the time I was felt somewhat
clueless/oblivious, which is often my modus operandi.
Eschol, as in the Valley of Eschol has a value of
54.
The Hebrew for the verb in "and they carried it"
referring to the cluster of grapes, is the same 54
value.
My very first attempt at looking for a
Gematria-value relationship and it was a match!
I tell you for a fact that God is a master at leading
buzz-head sheep while He never breaks a sweat.
It appears there is a connection between the
meaning of the name of that particular valley and also
the act of carrying the grapes. Now, hold that
thought.
Over the years of watching for Jesus, one thing I
have kept in the back of my mind is the possible,
meaningful significance of what Rabbi Kaduri expressed
while giving a code on a note pointing to the name of
the Messiah. He provided a phrase and expecting
his students and others to decypher the name by taking
the first letters of each word in the phrase.
The very Jewish Rabbi expressed that Jesus was their
Messiah. You can find details of this
here: https://bible-menorah.jimdofree.com/english/rabbi-kaduri-note/
This is an English translation (one option of
three) of what he wrote, quoting from the above
article:
"Regarding the letter abbreviation [acronym] of
the Messiah’s name: He will raise [lift] the
people and prove [confirm] that his word and his
teaching [law, Torah] stand [endure; is
valid]. This I have signed in the month of
mercy [=Elul, 5765 = Sept/Oct 2005], Yitzhak
Kaduri."
I have speculated/wondered if Kaduri's note
regarding God "lifting His people" might also be a
clue as to the timing of the rapture, and that Jesus
will become known as the Messiah to some within
Israel/Judah when the rapture takes place.
Prior, I had considered the timing of when Noah' ark
was "lifted up" from the face of the earth and also
when Jesus Himself said that He would be "lifted up"
like that brass serpent.
Well, in Numbers 13, that Hebrew word for the verb
"to carry", as in carrying the large cluster of
grapes, is Nasah. This is the Hebrew word not
only for "to carry" but also for " to lift up".
Joseph Good, a Jewish believer In Jesus and a teacher
of the Old Testament scriptures goes further to
express that this word is also the Hebrew for rapture!
To summarize, in Numbers 13, the name of the
Valley, Eschol, points to the lifting up of the
grapes, possibly tied to the idea of a rapture event
at that same time of year.
Lastly, in Numbers 13:20, when Moses instructed the
spies to bring back some of the first ripened grapes,
the Hebrew for the "first ripened" is actually the
very Hebrew word for Firstfruits. The lifting
up/carrying the massive cluster of grapes can be
understood as also a presentation of the First Fruits
offering to God during Pentecost season. Might
that also be us? during the timing of the first
ripe grapes offering? during the timing of the
season of Pentecost?
It is interesting to me that God does not specify
in the scriptures how long the Pentecost celebration
is to be. Perhaps, because it was a time of
drinking wine, that it was not necessary. Folks
would make it last as long as possible.
However, there is one group who would not want it
to last as long as possible, but just the
opposite. That would be the young men who
snatched their bride at the dance of the virgins in
the vineyards. Once they had their bride, how
long do you think they would want to keep sharing the
current, Pentecost celebration, sleeping arrangements
of their family tents that might include little
sisters/brothers, nosey aunts, etc? I am a dude
and so can only speak in terms of the young men.
In my simplistic thinking, the Feast of New Wine
(Pentecost) would be over at that time of the bride
snatch.
"Lastly, lastly", back on July 27/28 in 2018, at
night, I observed a long lasting Blood Moon
eclipse right next to a very bright (opposite the
setting sun's position like the full moon), and quite
large (close to the earth in orbital proximity along
with having a planet wide dust storm) Mars. This
took place in front of the constellation of
Capricorn. The mythos/story of Carpricorn is of
a being who lived in the waters yet came out to walk
on land to give an important message to humans.
That is why the present (corrupted) picture of
Capricorn is of a half-fish, half-land animal
figure. In my thinking, that July 27/28, 2018
event reminded me of what Jonah did and perhaps that
celestial sign was also pointing to the timing of when
the 40 day sign of Jonah to Ninevah might begin in our
future, prior to the judgement years beginning.
Back then I did not know the actual timing of when
that might that take place. I beiieved it
was meaningful yet also felt clueless.
The Jewish date of that sign in 2018?
Tu B Av.
Jesus is worthy of our continually watching for
Him.
God bless you
