"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
