"17 Cheshvan, Days of Noah, Muir Taylor, Gerry Almond - "As In The Days of Noah""


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
Well we have seen the last of the Lord's Feast Days for this year.  (Unless one uses a calendar that is a month later.) 
 
The next new moon should be sighted the evening of November 3rd.  This will start the next month of Cheshvan - the month of Noah. 
 
The Chabad calendar has 1 Cheshvan on November 1/2. Right after October 31 Halloween.
 
Cheshvan is Noah's month of the flood.  The Jewish reading in the Torah for 1 Cheshvan is of Genesis 6:9 - 11:32  The month of Cheshvan is also called "Mar-Cheshvan".  "Mar" means "bitter" - an allusion to the fact that the month contains no festive days.  "Mar" also means "water".
 
Cheshvan is "reserved for the time of the Messiah".
 
Then there is what happened with Noah - "as in the days of Noah"  - why were we given the exact month and days for this?  It must have been important for us to know - the second month, the tenth day, the seventeenth day...
 
Noah was told to go into the ark with his household and the animals and then the door was closed by God on 10 Cheshvan - seven days later on 17 Cheshvan, the floodwaters came upon the Earth.
 
Muir Taylor last week wrote "As In The Days Of Noah" letter and referred to a book "that tied the date for Halloween, October 31 with the start of Noah's flood."
 
In the letter, reference was made to finding the year the Great Flood started and the day on the solar calendar that 17 Cheshvan would align with (I think I have this correct.):  "Assuming that 2302 BC is the correct year for the flood...October 14, 2302 BC is the conjunction of the second new moon of fall for 2302 BC, so the following day, October 15, would be Heshvan 1 (the first day of the second month).  That would make Tuesday, October 31, 2302 BC, the 17th day of the 2nd month which is the starting date of the Great Flood.  Epochs later, Halloween, the Day of the Dead, would be celebrated on October 31 on the Julian calendar."https://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2024/muirt1020-2.htm
 
Very interesting.  
 
Add this to Gerry Almond's latter last week also:  https://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2024/gerrya1020.htm
 
"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!
