To the readers of Five Doves,
I am just one of many watching the signs of the Lord's return for his Church.
I submit this letter, in humility of heart. I acknowledge the issues that cloud the pursuit of seeking revelation about the timing of the Lord's return for the Church and I do NOT wish to cause any contention within the Body of Christ. So please recognise this is a compilation of personal studies I believe I have been led through.
I would like to thank John Tng for his service to us all on this site. May he receive a great reward in heaven for his labour.
I want to thank the many sincere contributors to this site as well. God Bless you all.
I have been greatly helped and blessed here. In Christ's Love. ML.
I had an experience with the Lord in September 2006 over about a week or so, a kind of auditory vision. It had a profound effect on me. I posted this some years ago, but my understanding was limited at that time and the Lord has progressively revealed more over the last 10 years through various passages of scripture and significant events.
Three months before this vision and the instruction that followed, the Lord had begun to reveal things to me. The very first of these was the significance of the date of ELUL 25 with relation to the completion of the Church, whilst I was studying the book of Nehemiah.
In September 2010 when the Christchurch EQ happened He gave me more instruction and linked that event back to the original revelation about ELUL 25.
The Christchurch EQ was on 4th Sept, 2010 at 4:35 . Well that was ELUL 25 on Hebcal – (the calendar I was familiar with at that time) He had already shown me that Strongs Numbers were inspired, so when I checked the time of the quake H435: ELUL only found in 1 verse – Nehemiah 6:15 which also highlights the day of ELUL 25 – The Lord had taken me right back to where He began teaching me about His secret things. In my research, I found that Christchurch had another large EQ on Elul 25 in 1888 on 1st September that year – indicating that ‘CHRISTCHURCH’ was linked to the date of Elul 25.
With all the focus on 23rd September last year – 49 prophetic years from June 7th 1967, the suggestion that this current year may well be a Jubilee, and that date also seemingly being an important day for the I people with the Pope’s visit to Washington and the UN – I was prompted again to consider calendars and dates. I have had a bit of trouble reconciling all the different opinions regarding the Hebrew calendar(s) over the past few years but have been familiarizing myself with several of them as I studied events and day counts etc.
It occurred to me that the 49 prophetic year count landing on Yom Kippur in 2015 just might have been our biggest clue. I personally believe that the last several shemittahs were highlighted for the same reason – to let us know where we are on God’s prophetic calendar. In other words to “reset” the clock for our benefit.
I did a simple thing. I counted the current Hebrew year from 14th Sept, 2015 as day 1 of a 360 year calendar ( which in my notes I have labeled JUBCAL)
On this calendar ELUL 25 will fall on 2nd September 2016. But this will also be ELUL 29 on Torah Calendar (which is 5 days shorter) So my postulation is since this date is the ‘last day’ of the year on Torah AND ELUL 25 (as God might count it) it is both a “hidden day” and an obvious day. I realized that the Lord is using all the calendars to convey important dates. It’s a bit like speaking in parables – only the intended audience gets it and some searching out is required. It also reminds me of the Scripture in Proverbs 25:2 “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings to search out a matter.”
3rd September, 2016 notes.
Yesterday we went to the city to the Christian bookshop and when we came out it was dark. I saw a bright white star above us slightly to the south. I looked at it for about half a minute and it slowly faded out! That’s the first time I’ve seen a star craft with my own eyes. – So we have them over our city too. As the Rapture/ removal of the Church is so close now – these are probably hovering over all the cities to appear for the great delusion mentioned in 2 Thessalonians.
Also, today I watched a video of a Messianic preacher teaching on Rosh Hashana, as the day of the Rapture and the beginning of the 7 year tribulation.
He says there will not be another 25,200 year cycle for earth. He says this IS IT and the latest date he has for the Rapture is 2016 (RH)
BUT what calendar??
That got me thinking about the Nehemiah 6:15 passage from which the Lord first began to teach me about these things and all that the Lord has taught me so far .
I had the prompt to look at 237 as a day count from 13th Sept ,2015 which was highlighted for me. – the last day of the Shemittah year 5775/ beginning 5776.
13th Sept, 2015 + 237 days = 7th May, 2016 +120 days (4 prophetic months as per John 4:35 study)
= Sunday Sept 4th,2016. (6 years since CHRISTCHURCH EQ on 4/9/2010)
This is day # 357 of JUBCAL year – leaving 3 days to complete ELUL.
This ties both the 237 study with John 4:35 and also Sept 4th EQ in Christchurch.(The Nehemiah 6:15 study, 237 study from 2 Samuel 20:19 and the John 4 study are prophetic date markers and I now believe indicate a calendar that is 360 days long- what I have labeled JUBCAL in my notes)
I think this narrows Rosh Hashana to September 8th/ 9th because the JUBCAL is the only calendar that agrees with the Sept 2nd data and Elul 25 from what I can see. The 30th Elul 5776 is Wednesday 7th September on JUBCAL. So Rosh Hashana begins at sunset on Sept 7th going into Thursday, Sept 8th. There was a man on Five doves who said he was shown the Rapture on a Thursday (in US), Friday in Israel.
This would focus 0n the period between 6pm and 3am Israel time (very early in the morning when the cock crows – see study on the September 1st Annular Solar Eclipse as a confirmation of this)
The other option is that it occurs on the “last day” i.e. Elul 30 and the Church is assembled in heaven on Rosh Hashana.
Taking into consideration the 24 hour window of all the time zones around the world, many have noted that the Rapture event probably occurs on 2 different days on the calendar depending on where you are in relation to Israel. I find it interesting that in applying day numbers to the Strongs words matched to a 360 day JUBCAL calendar we have this :-
G359: analusis = departure. Only found in 1 verse.
2Ti 4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
G360:analuo = return, depart. It is used in only 2 verses. One in relation to the Lord returning and the other in relation to believers desire to depart and be with the Lord. Note also that the Luke 12:36 verse also indicates the day of the Lord’s return at the 2nd Coming.
Luk 12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
Phi 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
I think the fact that there has just been the Annular Solar eclipse on Sept 1st and there is Lunar eclipse on Sept 16th – which is the EVE of Yom Kippur on JUBCAL is further evidence of the calendar God is using. This lunar eclipse satisfies the prophecy of Joel 2:31 and Acts 2:20 by being on the very EVE of Yom Kippur , “the great / terrible day of the Lord” - - if we are on a Jubilee / prophetic calendar since at least last September.
I also agree with those who have noted that God would not begin the Judgement of the world until this Jubilee year is completed.
The three main studies in the scriptures that the Lord used to show me this timeline are given below in abbreviated form.
…………………………………………………………..
ELUL 25 – What Does it Mean to CHRIST’S CHURCH?
In mid 2006, the Lord began to tutor me in a deeper way (some of you will understand what I mean)
At that time, He drew my attention to the passage in Nehemiah 6:15, “So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days” ……………..
Believing that there had to be some correlation in the New Testament, I had the question in my mind, “What do the walls of Jerusalem represent in the N.T.?”
NEXT, the LORD directed me to “go and look at 1 Peter 2:1ff” where Peter says, in v.5, “Ye also as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ”.
THEN, He directed me to Revelation 21:9, 10 where John describes his conversation with the angel, “Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife. And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the Holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God”.
The point that I was given to understand is that the completion of the Church is paralleled with the rebuilding of the city walls mentioned in Nehemiah, four days before the Feast of Trumpets.
JERUSALEM is THE CITY OF GOD, THE HOLY CITY. In the New Testament, the NEW JERUSALEM is presented as the HOLY JERUSALEM, the BRIDE of CHRIST.
The Church is a Holy City comprised of living, spiritual stones – the members of the Bride of Christ.
I believe that Elul 25 is when the BRIDE, is COMPLETED.
Then,
>>In September 2006, on the 13th, I was praying with a friend and I saw a vision (I had NEVER had a vision before in 21 years of being a Christian)
What I saw that day was a very heavy steel gate, like you would see on a castle or fortress, tremendously heavy. Just observing it I could ‘feel” or ‘sense” the awesome weight it had some how. As I watched, the gate came down slowly and was suspended a short space from the ground where it hung for a time, but the immense weight of it was impressed on me. Suddenly it slammed down to the ground. I have come to call that vision “THE STEEL GATE JUDGEMENT.”
In 2015, September 13th was the last day of the Shemittah – introducing what many believe is the Jubilee year following 7 Shemittahs.
In 2016, the UN General Assembly begins on September 13th .
This day, if the Rapture happens prior, could see the announcement of the new Secretary General of the UN. It could also be the confirming of a covenant affecting Israel known as a “covenant with death” The number 23 is associated with death and destruction in the biblical significance of numbers. The 13th September will be the 23rd anniversary of the signing of the Oslo Accord in 1993.
THE NUMBER 237.
>> Another scripture study that the LORD led me to was the narrative in 2 Samuel 20:19 where David and Jonathon arrange to meet at the stone Ezel (H237) In the previous verse, Jonathon says to David, “Tomorrow is the New moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty”
H237: Ezel = departure. David (beloved) is gone before the New Moon.
G237: allochothen = some other way, from another place.
These 2 words #237 in the Hebrew and Greek only appear once each in the Bible.
G237 only appears in JOHN 10:1 where Jesus refers to the antichrist and the mode of his coming in “some other way” or alternatively “from some other place”. This links in the JOHN 10 narrative in a further way and the use of the # 237 points to the OT text which gives a specific day that a “departure” happens.
Later in the chapter, 2 SAMUEL 20:39 it says this “But the lad knew not anything: only Jonathon and David knew the matter”
If we take the highlighted phrase and write it according to the Hebrew words and their meanings we have :- (JONATHON) “Jehovah has given” (DAVID) “Beloved” knowledge of the matter.”
…………………………………….
JOHN 4:35
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
Verse order# 16545 is
Pro 6:4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
In June 2016, I was led to consider this verse in relation to the “4 months to the harvest” clue contained within it.
-This could point to an early Passover, Abib in March not April . ie the difference between Torah & Hecal in 2016.
The month of ELUL the King is in the field with the Bride.
SEPT 4TH 2010 EQ CHRISTCHURCH WAS ELUL 25 (HEBCAL)AND 24TH ELUL (TORAH)
After reading Sherry Vance’s Jubilee timeline confirming the 2015-2016 Jubilee year, it seems to me that the 360 day years for the Tribulation are on track from 14th Sept, 2015 (Tishrei 1 5776)
13th Sept, 2015 + 360 days =>7 Sept, 2016 (this would be Elul 30 on God’s 360 day calendar)
- 5 days = Elul 25 =Sept 2nd.
From and including: Monday, 14 September 2015
To and including: Wednesday, 7 September 2016Result: 360 days
It is 360 days from the start date to the end date, end date included
From the 40th day of the Omer (May 4th, 2016 on Torah Calendar) >
+ 120 days (John 4:35 the 4 months to the harvest.) = Tuesday 1st September. **But I think the Torah Calendar is 1 day out here because 5th of May is the Thursday and they don’t seem to count the omer from “morrow after the Sabbath of Unleavened Bread week – but rather from the day before, which throws out the 50 day count as well.
From Thursday, 5 May 2016
Added 120 days**Result: Friday, 2 September 2016
Therefore taking a 120 day (4 x 30 day) count from the Ascension day of Jesus on the 40th day of the Omer, when the Barley was white (Jesus’ narrative in John 4:35 speaking of the harvest – AND Remember that the number 435 tied to the time of the Christchurch Eq on 4/9/2010 led to H435:ELUL only found in 1 verse Nehemiah 6:15 {Elul 15} which identifies the DAY that the Church is complete - Elul 25) we come to September 2nd which is Elul 25 on God’s calendar! (Day# 355 of Jubilee Year. (3:55am!! On June17th as I write this !!!)

1 September 2016 — Annular Solar Eclipse
The eclipse will begin at 06:13 UTC on September 1, 2016. The maximum point will take place at 09:01 UTC, and the annularity will last for 3 minutes and 6 seconds.
6:13 UT = 9:13 Israel

Also found in:-
Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
(Paul talking about the mystery of the church that was hid in God, from the beginning)
G901:bathus = very early in the morning. (gem 612)G612: apokrisis = answer.
