A 9-MONTH COUNT TO THE NEW WINE ‘BIRTH’
Jesus declaring the New
Covenant, Publicly from Water to Wine
And on the Last Day, that Great Day of the Feast [Sukkot]
Jesus stood and cried out saying. ‘If anyone thirsts,
let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me as the
Scripture has said. Out of his Heart will flow Rivers of
Living Water’. -John 7:37
Note, the Rapture Event will be as a ‘Birth’. During the Feast
of Tabernacles or Sukkot, i.e., Booths, Jesus went up to
Jerusalem to observe the Feast. Tabernacles commemorated the
Shelters in which the Israelites were living in and how YHVH
provided them with Water. This is Key to one’s Argument of how
one will show how the Feast of the New Wine, corresponding to
the Acts 2 Pentecost Event is when the Fulfillment of the Holy
Spirit coming down to indwell Believers in Jesus.
One will argue that it could not have been on the Shavuot that
the Jews celebrate the First Fruits of the Wheat. One links
the Wedding of Cana, being Jesus’ 1st Miracle of turning the
Water into Wine. One will argue that the Water Libation that
the High Priest would pour-out upon the Altar, always
commemorated as Water, would be turned to Wine. How So? It is
that during the Acts 2 Pentecost Event, it was at this Place
and Time, being the 2nd 50 Day Count, based on one’s
Calculation, etc.
It was at that Place and Time where the High Priest would take
the First Fruits of the New Wine and pour it out, as the
Libation, like it was during Tabernacles. This is why the Acts
2 ‘2nd Shavuot’ Count, that one calculates concurred with July
23 is when the ‘Water turned to Wine’. It was and is
emblematic of the New Covenant being fulfilled and the Church
Age having started. Thus, one’s Working Theory is that perhaps
it will be a corresponding New Wine Feast, synchronized with
what Acts 2 describes.
It is also evident in that the Disciples were mocked for being
‘Drunk’ on the New Wine. This is ‘Impossible’ to be even
hinted at during a Shavuot Feast in Early June. One’s
Rationale for this Tabernacle to Pentecost of a July, not a
June Observance is inspired by the Sermon called, Living
Water: The Holy Spirit from John 7 by Pastor Gary Hamrick of
Cornerstone Chapel Church. One will be paraphrasing the Points
he made.
Here is the specific Context to set-up for the Feast of
Tabernacles and why it is extremely important as a Prophetic
Reference Point, in supporting one’s New Wine Theory,
corresponding to a July Pentecost, that was Acts 2, etc. In
the Gospel of John 7, it is of the account of how Jesus
stood-up on the 7th Day of Sukkot or Tabernacles. And that is
when the High Priest would walk down from the Temple Mount to
the Procession leading down to the Pool of Siloam.
Echoes of Cana
He would fill a Golden Pitcher with that Water and retrace
his steps back to the Temple Mound and arrive at the Giant
Altar of Sacrifice. The Multitudes of People would be there
also gathered for the Spectacle, etc. It was at this Point in
Time, that Jesus stood up at the Feast of Tabernacles and
spoke about Living Water. The Point is that, according to the
Apostle John, writing the Narrative, was referring to the Holy
Spirit.
This is, in fact, the 1st Occasion in the Gospels where the
Holy Spirit chose this particular Ceremony, the Feast of
Tabernacles, to introduce the Holy Spirit. It was to be the
Place and Time where GOD the Holy Spirit come, to indwell, as
a Seal, Unconditional upon the Believers and Followers of
Jesus. And when would that occur? Based on one’s Theory,
again, at the Feast of the First Fruits of the New Wine in.
This corresponded to the July Pentecost Timing of the End of
the Wheat Harvest, etc.
One must realize that in verse 39, John said this, concerning
the Holy Spirit that was to yet be given or descend from
Heaven. It was who was yet to be received as a Deposit in the
Near Future because Jesus was not yet glorified or gone up to
Heaven to present His Body and Blood. What needs to be noted
is that, as mentioned, this is the 1st Time in John's Gospel
where it is mentioned that one can receive the Holy Spirit
personally. Prior to Acts 2, the Holy Spirit was ‘Localized’.
So, one’s Point is that the Water Libation was an Offering of
Praise to YHVH for providing Water from the Rock, etc. And
that Rock was Christ Jesus. The pouring-out of the Water by
the High Priest is what Jesus used, as an Opportunity to
declare that He was and is the Living Water. It was so
important, enough to interrupt a Public Ceremony to interject
at the closing of the Verse in Isaiah, that it is He that the
Verse was foretelling about.
The Feast of Tabernacles was and is a Remembrance of YHVH’s
Provision that is celebrated for 7 Day. However, there is an
8th Day, now called Shemini Atzeret. And it is coupled with an
additional Day called Simchat Torah. This is the Reading of
the Law where the King and High Priests, in audience with the
‘Many’ or the L’Rabbim along with the People hear the
‘Confirming of the Covenant’. Which Covenant?
The Mosaic one in one’s Interpretation, etc. One’s other
Working Theory is that this will be the Occasion for the
coming False Jewish Messiah to proclaim as comes in ‘His own
Name’. It will be also at that Place and Time where he, like
Jesus will speak-up loudly in the Presence of Elders of Zion
and the People. He will be next to the Altar of Sacrifice and
‘Confirm the Covenant’.
This is one’s Interpretation and obviously, one could be
totally off. But he will be the one that is accepted and
crowned King Messiah by the Modern Sanhedrin, etc. Based on
this Model, the Timeline one has plotted for a Fall 2025 to
Fall 2032 Tribulation is very telling. So, on the 7th Day of
Sukkot, the High Priest would pour-out the Libation of water
from the Golden Pitcher as he quoted Verses from the Book of
Isaiah. One of the Verses was Isaiah 12:3 and the other was
Isaiah 44:3 which says the following.
Surely YHVH is my Salvation [Yeshua]; I will trust and not
be afraid. For the LORD GOD is my Strength and my Song, and
He also has become my Salvation [Yeshua or Jesus].
With Joy you will draw Water from the Springs of
Salvation [Yeshua], and on that Day you will
say: ‘Give Praise to YHVH; proclaim His Name! Make His Works
known among the Peoples; declare that His Name is exalted’.
-Isaiah 12:2-4
This is the Word of YHVH, your Maker, who formed you from
the Womb and who will help you: “Do not be afraid, O Jacob
My Servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour
Water on the Thirsty Land, and Currents on the Dry Ground.
I will pour out My Spirit on your Descendants, and
My Blessing on your Offspring. They will sprout
among the Grass like Willows by Flowing Streams. -Isaiah
44:2-4
Imagine this Scene as the High Priest and the Sanhedrin and
the People are all gathered at the Temple Precinct. And after
the High Priest finishes reciting the Verses from Isaiah,
there is a somber silence. It is at this Time and Place when
Jesus, then stands-out and in a Loud Voice proclaims the
Following. Jesus was basically declaring that what the High
Priests have been quoting, Year-after -Year from Isaiah, it
was referencing Him. It is Jesus that can only offer the
Living Water that was poured-out upon the Altar of Sacrifice.
And it would be through the Crucifixion that, it literally
occurs as 1 of the 7 Sayings of Jesus on the Cross of Calvary
was, ‘I am poured-out like Water, etc. But here is where one
is attempting to cross-reference this Water being poured-out
on the Altar of Sacrifice with the pouring-out of the Wine on
the same Altar, but at the Acts 2 Pentecost Event. And this is
what one argues coincided with the Feast of the New Wine. In
fact, no New Wine could be drunk until the High Priest would
pour out.
Thus, one’s Point is that the First Fruits of the New Wine was
as a similar Libation done back on the Last and Great Day of
Sukkot, being the 7th Day. Thus, one’s Main Point is that this
is a fulfillment of how the Event of the Water Libation on the
Last Day of Sukkot ‘transformed’ into the Wine being then
poured-out in Acts 2. The Connection is that John explicitly
explains that the Water that Jesus was inferring to was the
coming Holy Spirit, that is attributed like being Water poured
out, etc.
This is one’s Wedding of Cana Miracle and a fulfillment of a
Prophetic Arch. And here are more Connections to how the
Waters of Tabernacles is fulfilled in the New Wine of a July,
end of Summer Wheat Harvest. Before Jesus ascended on Shavuot,
the 1st 50 Day Count, He stated that He would not leave
Disciples as Orphans. Jesus assured them that Time was coming,
(In 50 more Days), when GOD the Holy Spirit would come and
indwell them.
It served to secure the Deposit of the Full Promises to come,
but to also be empowered to carry out the Great Commission for
nearly 2 Prophetic Days or 2000 Years that would be the Church
Age. As noted, the Holy Spirit could not Descend until Jesus
would Ascend. So, in Jesus’ Parting Words, He instructed His
Disciples to wait in Jerusalem. Although Jesus mentioned ‘A
Few Days’, it became just like Israel got disheartened and
impatient at Moses for spending, likewise 40 Day on Mount
Sinai. So?
The Coming Birth of the Church Age
So, the Disciples went back to Galilee to fish. As it
turned out to be a total of 50 more Days, it had not occurred
to them that the Out-Pouring of the Holy Spirit coming down
with Power and Fire would coincide with that other Libation,
the New Wine one. Obviously, this is one’s Interpretation.
I baptize you with Water, but he who is coming after me is
mightier than I, whose Sandals I am not worthy to carry.
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire.
-Matthew 3:11
Now the next Segment is also very telling. As many may know
from one’s Research and Interpretation of who the ‘Covenant
with the Many’ will be, here is the Action or Event where, in
one’s Estimation, Jesus, being the True King, Christ and
Messiah actually performs and declares the Covenant. Which
one? The New Covenant. How so?
Consider that it was on the 8th Day of Assembly, right after
Jesus had Declared what the Water of Life was really, Him, it
was the next day that Israel also gathered to Read the Law. It
was as in the Tradition of King Solomon, then Ezra in the
Dedication of the Temples. And it was at that Place and Time
when the Covenants were ‘Confirmed’, etc. So, if one considers
the Tie-in between when Jesus ‘Confirmed’ this New Covenant to
when it actually occurred or was fulfilled? The ramifications
are astonishing.
But some People may argue, ‘Wait a Minute, where was the King
then?’ One must realize that when Jeus stood-up and in a Laud
Voice proclaimed that He was and is that Water Libation that
Prophetically Inferred the Holy Spirit coming, He was the
King. Not only that, at that Place and Times, Jesus operated
in all of His 3 Office, at the same Time and in the Same
Person. He was and is the following.
1. Prophet
2. Priest
3. King
One is assuming that when Jesus stood-up and Proclaimed the
Living Water Narrative, it was in His Last Year of his Public
Ministry. Meaning that if one takes the present Year, as an
Approximation or Similarity, then the following. The Last and
Great Day of the Feast, i.e., Sukkot or Tabernacles occurred
on October 22, 2024. If Jesus was then Crucified in the
following Year, ‘Gregorian’, that was then Passover of April
14, etc. So, Shemini Atzeret in 2024 began at Sunset on
October 23 and ended at Nightfall on October 24.
OCTOBER 23, 2024
Shemini Atzeret ending at Nightfall on October 24.
+ 9 Months (Human Gestation Period)
JULY 23, 2025
Speculated New Wine Pentecost of Acts 2
End of the Commission
As many may know, for several Years now, one has
postulated that July 23 (723) was when the Holy Spirit came
down. It initiated and empowered the Disciples for the Great
Commission, etc. One’s Working Theory is that perhaps, the
Holy Spirit will ‘Ascend’ back to Heaven in the Body of the
Bride of Christ, i.e., the Rapture. One speculates that it
could rightly conclude the Church Age, as it began, on its
Anniversary.
The Great Commission will have been achieved. And this is
Reason for why the Church Age Dispensation cannot cross over
into the Time of Jacob’s Trouble. It is because the Holy
Spirit will have been set-aside as the Corporate Restrainer as
the Church Body of Christ is no longer on Earth. And the 2000
Year Duration, to the Year will see the final 7 Years be
enjoyed as the ‘Honeymoon’ in Heaven. It will correspond to
the 7 Years that Israel or Jacob still owes YHVH for not
keeping the Sabbaths of the Land, etc.
Shemini Atzeret is celebrated on the 22nd Day of the Hebrew
Month of Tishrei, following the Festival of Sukkot. So, one
asked, ‘Is 2025 the Year or should one look for another?’ It
so happens that from October 22, 2024, the 7th Day of
Tabernacle to one’s New Wine Pentecost of July 23 is guess how
many Months? It is precisely 9 Months. And? This is the
duration of the Human Gestation Period.
Sure, it would be mere coincidence, but one found it rather
astonishing in that it is in-line with the Typology of a
Birthing expectant. And is the End of the Church Age not like,
a Harvest, that 153 Fish caught it the Net? Did not the
Apostle Paul teach in terms of this very precise Metaphor of
having Christ be formed in a Disciple. And upon the collective
completion, ‘Christ is born in a Person?’
Nevertheless, it is
Good to be Zealous if it serves a Noble Purpose—at any
Time, and not only when I am with you. My Children, for
whom I am again in the Pains of Childbirth until Christ is
formed in you, how I wish I could be with you now and
change my Tone, because I am perplexed about you.
-Galatians 4:18-20
1) So, in Summary, one attempted to demonstrate,
from Scripture how the Water Libation on the 7th Day of Sukkot
is when Jesus Decreed that the New Covenant, inapparent Israel
at the Time and Place was Himself. And that according to John,
it was a Direct Inference to the Holy Spirit, etc.
2) And that it would be fulfilled, literally at a
time when the Holy Spirit would descend. And at that Time and
Place, corresponded to the other Libation upon the Altar of
Sacrifice, but this Time, the New Wine.
3) And this is why it is ‘Impossible’ for the Holy
Spirit Descent to be corresponding to the Jewish Feast of
Sukkot, in early June.
4) But in fact, that a Day Count from the Last and
Great Day of the Feast, being Sukkot, to one’s July 23,
supposed True Pentecost Timing of Acts 2 is exactly 9 Months.
Surely if nothing, something is going to be ‘Birthed’ on July
23, 2025? Perhaps.
_____________________
The purpose of this Chart is to depict the Timeline, which is
9 Months from the Last and Great Day of the Feast, being
Sukkot to one’s calculated New Wine Pentecost of Acts 2, being
on a July 23. One will use the 2024 to 2025 Calendar Year
Time-Span as an Approximation with the Phi Ratio Spiral
superimposed to denote that the Crucifixion was the Confirming
Ratio. One’s Theory is that in all 3 Time Markers of Sukkot,
the Crucifixion and New Wine, had an Altar Libation
Association.
In the case of Sukkot, it was Water. In the case of the New
Wine, it was Wine. But in the case of Jesus’ Crucifixion, it
was both Water and Blood as Wine, etc. One conjectures that
from Sukkot to New Wine, the Transformation of the Water into
Wine as it was demonstrated, Miraculously at the Wedding of
Cana occurs Prophetically. What this Timeline and Theory
proposes, is that the New Wine, in July is when the Holy
Spirit descended, as that New Wine for the New Wine Skins,
i.e., the New Covenant, etc. And that perhaps, the Rapture
Event is when that will also correspond to the Feast of New
Wine.
Phi Ratio
The Phi Ratio, Phi (Φ), also known as the Golden Ratio, is
an Irrational Number approximately equal to 1.618. It is
defined Mathematically as the Ratio where a Line is divided
into 2 Parts such that the Ratio of the Whole Line to the
Longer Part is equal to the Ratio of the Longer Part to the
Shorter Part.
Foreshadowing of the Holy Spirit
Once the High Priest finished the Water Libation on the
7th Day of Sukkot to conclude it, Jesus stood-up and stated in
a Loud Voice…
‘If anyone is Thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: Streams
of Living Water will flow from within him’. -John 7:37-38
SUKKOT
It is an Altar Libation of Water. Jesus ‘Confirms
the Covenant’ to come, the New Covenant whose Emblems will be
Bread and Wine. Priest takes a Golden Pitcher and draws Water
from the Pool of Siloam. He then pours-out the Water as a
Libation on the Altar of Sacrifice as he recites from the Book
of Isaiah.
CRUCIFIXION
It is an Altar Libation of Water and Blood (Wine).
This Act of Love is what is able to transform the Water into
Wine in a Human Soul. Jesus’ Free Gift of Salvation
encompasses the Spirit, the Soul and the Body. It is at the
Rapture and New Wine Timing that the Glorification of the Body
will finally be achieved.
Jesus at the Cross (Altar)
I am poured out like Water, and all my Bones are
disjointed. My Heart is like wax; it melts away within
me. -Palm 22:14
And that was the Place and Time of how the Cross also became
an Altar. And that is how the Water is changed to Wine. Jesus
is that Transforming Agent. And thus, why one is more
convinced that the Feast of New Wine is when what Jesus
declared in Sukkot, was accomplished in the Acts 2 Pentecost,
coinciding with the New Wine. It was as the Waters of the
Wedding at Cana was turned to Wine.
NEW WINE
It is an Altar Libation of Wine. It coincides with
the Pouring-out of the Holy Spirit. The Acts 2 Account
records how GOD the Holy Spirit came down, as Promised and was
poured-out as Wine. The Disciples were mocked for being Drunk
on the New Wine. This could not have been said at the Jewish
Shavuot of Sivan 6. One argues that the 2nd 50-Day Count is
when the Church was ‘Birthed’ and empowered for the Great
Commission. And that perhaps, on its Anniversary, in some
Year, the Rapture Event will conclude it.
Then Peter stood-up with the 11, lifted-up his Voice, and
addressed the Crowd: ‘Men of Judea and all who dwell in
Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to
my Words. These Men are not Drunk, as you suppose. It is
only the 3rd Hour (9AM) of the Day! No, this is what was
spoken by the Prophet Joel’.
-Acts 2:14-16
Does this corroborate the Timing of the Rapture to conclude
the Church Age?
