"Maybe Halloween
Will Be Important This Year". Gerry suggested that
we watch Halloween - it's All Hallow's Eve - "the day
before the resurrection of the dead in Christ, that is in
church lore. The demons of the hell fight on October
31 to prevent the predicted resurrection on that
eve." He also wrote that "November 1 is resurrection
day, also in church lore."
Allowhallowtide:
Allhallowtide - October 31, November 1 and 2. This
is a very interesting three day time period in relation to
a possible Rapture.
The 17th day of
Cheshvan would be about October 31 - November 1, 2.
Depending on the calendar used.
October 31
is Halloween or All Hallow's Eve.
November 1 is All Saint's Day or All Hallow's Day.
November 2 is all Souls' Day. These were established
back in the 8th century A.D. These have been
celebrated through out Christendom ever since as Holy
Days. And these days are not just "catholic
days'. Lutherans, Anglicans, Methodist, Protestants,
etc. celebrate these days"
It was believed
that during this day, the dead would walk among the
living. Prophecy Watchers magazine had an article
about the dead raised on the Rapture that they may
actually walk among the living for a while before being
'taken'. Like when the dead saints were seen walking
in Jerusalem when Christ was crucified.
November 1 is All
Saints' Day or All Hallows' Day.
November 2 is All
Souls' Day.
Allhallowtide
has a connection to the Great Flood. "It
has been thought that the first three days of
Allhallowtide may have originated as a ritualistic
remembrance of the deluge (Great Flood) in which the first
night, All Hallow's Eve remembers the wickedness of the
world before the flood. The second night then
celebrates the saved who survived the deluge and the last
night celebrates those who would repopulate the
Earth."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allhallowtide
On Hallow's Eve
(Halloween) October 31 "some believed that the veil
between the material world and the afterlife
thinned." The Church tradition was to visit
graveyards and cemeteries with flowers and candles.
All Saint's Day,
November 1 "is a holy day to honour all the saints and
martyrs..."
All Souls' Day,
November 2, is also called "the Commemoration of All
Faithful Departed" and the "Day of the Dead".
These two days
remind me of: All Saint's Day - "two days" and
All Souls' Day - "the third day" - "After two days will He
revive us, in the third day He will raise us up."
Hosea 6:2
On all three of
these days - Christians would visit graveyards and
cemeteries with flowers and candles.
And this is an
interesting prayer for All Souls' Day:
"O eternal God and Father,
you are not the God of the dead
but of the living,
and all who put their trust in
you,
who rest in their chambers
under the earth,
live in you.
Be merciful to us, dear Father,
do not let us be afraid of the
power and sting of death,
but keep us in the true faith
in your dear Son,
who is the way, the truth, and
the life.
Uphold us with your Holy
Spirit,
and give us a clear conscience,
that we may live our Christian
lives,
and finally fall asleep in
peace and joy.
When we leave this valley of
tears,
and rest in peace until
you open our graves
and awaken us with the
sound of the last trumpet;
As I've written in a past Doves
letter, IF the Rapture happened during this time, people
would be visiting graveyards where 'resurrections' had
taken place. And IF the resurrected have a bit of
time on Earth before leaving - that veil between this
world and the next would definitely 'be thinned'.
And the 'dead would be seen walking among the living."
Interesting time period for the
Rapture.
I bring all of this up because of
Muir Taylor's letter last week - and the book about the
Great Flood starting on October 31, which has become
Halloween or All Hallow's Eve. And Gerry Almond's
letter to keep Halloween as a 'watch' day - looking at
Church lore.
Of course, there are other Hebrew
calendars to look at for 10 and 17 Cheshvan. With
the sighting of the new moon (coming up), 10 Cheshvan
would be about November 11 and 17 Cheshvan would be about
November 18.
Election Day, November 5, is
pretty close to the sighting of the new moon for
Cheshvan. That adds 'some anxiety' to this time
period.
Keep looking up!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Marantha!
