"Can we know?--Yes we
can!"
CAN WE KNOW? If we understand the beginning!
I was debating whether I should post my article on creation when
I saw Jim’s article “Can we know?” If we don’t understand the
beginning how can we understand the end? As in Isaiah 46. How
would a perfect and Holy God do this? Why did God say it was
good and very good during the creation process? Why 7 days? The
answer for me was long sought after.
Good or very good means it was exactly the way God wanted it.
Another way to put it is to say there was no presence of “sin”
at the time God said it. And why seven days? Surely he could
have done all he created in a single day. What in the bible
could represent no sin and be 7 days in duration?
Only one time--Feast of Unleavened Bread !!!!!
When one truly understands God’s purpose here it brings new
meaning to Passover. Adam sinned on the same day God made him on
the sixth day, day before the Sabbath. This is why Jesus died on
the sixth day of the week, day before the Sabbath, day of
preparation. No other time would do! This is how a perfect God
declared the end from the beginning! His plan is not finished
but was teaching us what was yet to be! Do you understand? When
Jesus said--“It is finished”, He told us when! At the end of the
sixth day! On Passover! And do you understand why there was a
resurrection at Passover when Christ was raised. He came
teaching us the future of things yet to be, hidden in
scriptures. If creation began on Unleavened Bread, the sixth day
or 6000 years must end on Unleavened Bread at Passover.
Creation was not on Rosh Hashanah, but the Feast of Unleavened
Bread. The shedding of blood when He clothed Adam and Eve, the
blood on the door posts, and the shedding of blood of Jesus,
sinless and Holy only the feast of Unleaven Bread could bring.
Look at the garden of Eden, it was in the garden Jesus was
arrested, and it was here in the garden he was crucified. How
else could they have looked into the temple to see the curtains
torn unless they were on the Mt of Olives.
The curse of thorns in the creation story and the crown of
thorns Jesus wore bearing the curse of sin. Eve was a virgin of
disobedience and
Mary a virgin of obedience, the tree in the garden and the tree
Jesus was crucified..
Remember that God told Moses in Exodus 12, this month of the
year when the lamb was eaten at Passover would be the beginning
of the months. And Jacob went into Egypt on Passover and came
out on Passover to the very day. I hope you can add to this
shadow of things to come as the Day of the Lord comes. The Day
of the Lord is the most spoken of event in all the Bible and is
terrible and yet glorius when the wheat is taken to the barn and
tares in bundles to be burned. As to the six days or 6000 years
do not trust man’s calendar to be exact. If you can understand
what I have written and hope I didn’t come off arrogant, I will
share my vision and understanding of the Day of the Lord; and
the timing, and how it all fits in the Tribulation. I look
forward to the Last Day. What a perfect and Holy God we have
Christians!
Jewish Blessing at Passover

Blessed art thou O Lord our God, King of the Universe, who
brings forth bread from the earth. Then Jesus said---This bread
