Twelve Books – Rapture, Antichrist, End Time Signs, Prophecy, News

As I stated since last month the Lord Jesus communicated with me that the Apocalypse would start in the month of July in this year.

The following article points to dates in the last day of this month or the first date of the next for significant signs given in the sun. The time of Pentecost and Tu’B’ Av is also coming.

“The Number Three and Three Solar Eclipses“

Dear Doves,

Here is a re-cap on the signs in the sky that may be pointing to our soon departure!

The three solar eclipses that fell on Tammuz 29 and Av 1 three years in a row, (2008, 2009, and 2010) seem to be a sign to those who are watching that God has begun to judge the nations and that something HUGE is about to happen. The number three in the Bible is very significant and points to the fulfillment of God’s divine purposes.   

(The dates of the solar eclipses three years in a row are as follows:)

August 1, 2009 – Tammuz 29

July 22, 2008 – Av 1

July 11, 2010 – Tammuz 29

As if these three eclipses were not enough to get our attention, the Lord seems to have pointed His watching and waiting bride to Tammuz 29 and Av 1 AGAIN by showing us two more signs in the solar eclipses that happened this year on June 1, 2011 and July 1, 2011.  God seems to be saying,  “Look at this pattern: June 1, 2011 – solar eclipse,  July 1, 2011 – solar eclipse, what is the next logical date in this pattern?”

The answer is August 1, 2011, which again falls on the eve of Tammuz 29 and Av 1. There seems to be no doubt that the signs in the sky are pointing to these two dates which fall on July 31 – August 1 in the USA (if you are going by Jerusalem time, the watch is one day earlier due to the time difference.)

Av 1 is the beginning of the intensified stage of mourning and will last for nine days. (Nine is 3 x 3 and may represent completeness.)

Here is a little bit about the meaning of Av 1:

“When Av begins, we diminish [our] rejoicing” (Talmud, Taanit 26b).

“On the 1st of Av,  “The Three Weeks” mourning period over the destruction of the Holy Temple–which began 13 days earlier on Tammuz 17–enters an intensified stage. During “The Nine Days” from Av 1st to the Ninth of Av, a heightened degree of mourning is observed, including abstention from meat and wine, music, bathing for pleasure, and other joyous and enjoyable activities. (The particular mourning customs vary from community to community, so consult a competent Halachic authority for details).

Consumption of meat and wine is permitted on Shabbat, or at a Seudat Mitzvah (obligatory festive meal celebrating the fulfillment of a mitzvah) such as a Bris (circumcision), or a “Siyum” celebrating the completion of a course of Torah study (i.e., a complete Talmudic tractate). The Lubavitcher Rebbe initiated the custom of conducting or participating in a Siyum on each of the Nine Days (even if one does not avail oneself of the dispensation to eat meat).

Citing the verse (Isaiah 1:27) “Zion shall be redeemed with mishpat [Torah] and its returnees with Tzedakah,” the Rebbe urged that we increase in Torah study (particularly the study of the laws of the Holy Temple and charity during this period.

The Number Three and the Three Solar Eclipses

Below is some information on the number three in the Bible.

“Another of the numbers where we can readily see God use it in a spiritual sense to signify something, is the number three. It is used of God to signify His Purpose or His Will! For example, when God sent the three messengers to Abraham to tell him that Sarah would conceive in her old age (Genesis 18), by the use of the number three we see in this an illustration that they came with God’s “purpose and will” to Abraham. i.e., it was by the will of God and for His own purposes that Sarah should conceive so that God would make a great nation of Abraham through it.

The same illustration is seen as God brought a thick darkness upon the land of Egypt (exodus 10:22-23) for three days. In this, God’s purpose and sovereign will of judgment is worked out. The number three illustrated that it was for God’s purposes that they were in darkness while all the Children of Israel had light!

We can see this in the three times in a year God commanded that the men of Israel were to appear before the Lord in Jerusalem (Ex. 23:14,17 Deu. 16:16). This illustrated the will and purpose of God in the feasts Laws, which all pointed to Christ!

In 2nd Samuel 21:1 the Lord sends famine in the land for three years, and says it was because of Saul and his bloody house. In other words, it was God’s will that this happen, and the purpose of God in doing this was to bring judgment because of Saul’s bloody House.

Another example is in 1st kings 17:21 as Elijah stretches forth his body over a dead child three times, and the child lives again. This signified that it was God’s will and for His own purpose that the child should yet live again, a type or spiritual “shadow” of things to come.

Again, as the Lord said His servant Isaiah walked naked and barefoot three years as a Sign (signification) and a wonder upon Egypt (Isaiah 20:3), once more indicating God’s will and purpose for Egypt.

Even when we look at the three men who were cast into the furnace of fire, and a fourth who was there like the Son of God (Daniel 3:24-25), we see that it was God’s will and purpose that these three men would not be harmed by the fire because of the presence of the Son of God. This was demonstrating that by the presence of Christ, the will and purpose of God that His people not be harmed in the fire, will be accomplished.

These are just a few of the examples, and we could go on and on about this. These places where the number three is found is numerical symbology which is putting forth spiritual truths, that we can learn from as we consider them. For in three, God works out His purpose and His will. As Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, so it indicated it was for God’s purpose, and that His will would be worked out in this (Again, a type of Christ).

If I could use an earthly analogy of a Biblical principle, It’s somewhat like asking someone three times whether they really want to sell their house for a certain fee. After they say yes the third time, it’s established that this is their will and purpose or intention. That, of course, is a bad analogy, but one which makes the point. That is the way the number three is often used in scripture. It signifies the establishment of God’s will and His purpose. The three days and three nights Jonah spent in the fish established that God’s purpose and will would be worked out in that. In Acts, the Lord smote the Apostle Paul with blindness for three days:

    Acts 9:9

• “And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.”

Was the fact that he was blind “three” days just a number picked out of a hat, as if any number would do? No, the number was God breathed. He was Blinded three days not by coincidence, but “by divine fiat or decree”. It was God’s purpose for him to be blind and to neither eat nor drink for those “three” days because He was bringing Paul to the light! Why not four days? Why not two days? Because those are numbers God uses to signify other things, and He wanted to indicate by the number “three” that it was for His own good purpose and by His sovereign Will that Paul be blind. And that is what the number three signifies.

The exact same principle in Acts Chapter 10, when a voice from heaven told Peter to rise kill and eat the beasts of the earth that were on a sheet descending from heaven. And Peter says No, for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean. Then the voice says, “what God has cleansed, don’t call it common”. And we read,

Acts 10:16

• “This was done thrice (3 times): and the vessel was received up again into heaven.”

Why was this done “three” times, and then the sheet received up again into heaven? When we study scripture in context, we find that these passages were to indicate that the gospel was going out to the Gentiles as well as the Jews. And that is why it is meticulously pointed out by God that this was done three times and “then” received up again unto heaven. It is to signify this is the purpose and will of God that Salvation go to all the world. It’s not just any number, it’s the number that signifies God’s purpose and will that Salvation go to the Gentiles as well as the Jews. The “three” times it’s done, gives us this spiritual signification that it is established by God for His purpose.

Christ spoke a parable which was about a fig tree in a vineyard in Luke 13:6 (Symbolizing Israel) and the man of the vineyard came “three” years seeking fruit and found none, and so said cut it down, why cumbereth it the ground. Why didn’t God in this parable say cut it down after one year, or after two years? It was because the “three” years he came seeking fruit is symbolizing the purpose of God. He gave it “three” chances before he said cut it down. (Remember the analogy I made of three times asked makes it established?) The establishment of God’s purpose and will is seen in this number three.

One of the greatest places to see this numerical symbology is in that there is only one God, and yet there are three in the Godhead. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.

1st John 5:7

• “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one”.

The purpose or will of God the one God, is worked out in these three. Read the Bible with wisdom and understanding. Because these things were put there for just that purpose. The purpose and will of God is worked out in the three of the Godhead.

When Paul sought God to remove the thorn in the flesh, but it was for God’s own purpose that Paul retain this thorn (it wasn’t God’s will to remove it) He illustrates this by the number three. Consider what we read in,

2nd Corinthians 12:8:

• “For this thing I besought the Lord thrice (three times) that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My Grace is sufficient for thee..”

Here we see it again “three” times Paul besought the Lord! Why not once, or twice? Why didn’t God tell him after the first time or the second? Why did God wait for the third time? It’s because God deliberately wants to indicate in scripture by this number 3, that it is not His purpose, or His Will that this thorn be removed. He says to Paul after being asked the third time, “My Grace is sufficient for you.” In other words, My Grace is enough for you. i.e., After the third time asking, it was established as God’s will that this was not to be removed. Grace was enough for Paul. So again we see clearly that the number three here was an indication to us that it was not God’s will that this be removed.

There are just so many indications of the number three being used to symbolize the will and Purpose of God. None more “God Glorifying” than the atonement that the Lord made at the cross. The Atonement has the number “three” all around it and we can readily understand why. That’s because though Christ was Crucified, it was God’s will and for His purpose that Christ went to the Cross. For example, Jesus sat with the elders in the Temple three days being about His father’s work, there were three Crosses, there were three men crucified, there was writing in three different languages on the cross, Jesus prayed three times that if it was possible could this cup pass from me, three Apostles went into the garden to pray with Him, Peter denied Our lord three times, Pilate sought three times to let Jesus go, it was the “third” hour when they crucified Him, Jesus was in the heart of the earth “three” days and “three” nights, When Jesus was risen He asked Simon three times loveth thou Me, and on, and on. The number three is everywhere indicated in the atonement that Christ made for us because it was God’s will and purpose. Are these all just coincidental references? The scoffers will tell you that, but the Spirit tells another story. Christ had to go to the cross in order for us to be Saved. It is a Gift of God. It was His will. The number three being used this way is a coincidence like the sheep being used as an indication of a believer is a coincidence. No Possible Way! They were both put there by God to give us a great Spiritual, or symbolical picture that we can learn from. Unfortunately, there are many in our day who choose to remain spiritually ignorant in these things.

It’s not curious then that the number three is sometimes used in conjunction with the number two (which signifies the agreement of truth) when making statements about God’s purpose. Because His will and purpose go hand in hand with the truth. For example, in relationship to the Church. For the Church is the pillar of truth, and it is also doing God’s Will, and working to accomplish His purposes. Jesus says in:

Matthew 18:19-20

• “Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven.
• For where two or three are gathered in My name, there Am I in the midst of them.”

There we have the establishment of the truth (2), and the Purpose of God (3) in the definition of the Church. Where two or three are gathered in Christ’s name, there is the truth and the will of God being done, and Christ in their midst. That’s the two or three witnesses of God. That’s the Church with Christ in the midst (remember the two witnesses of revelation chapter 11?) There is the “definition” of the Church! Two or three witnesses gathered together in the name of Christ! The two is illustrating established truth, and the three illustrating the purpose and will of God.”

 I am not sure what will happen in the next few days, but as watchers, I hope we are in for a wild and joyous ride!

High Watch Days for 2011:  July 29, 30, 31, August 1.

“My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.”  (Ps. 130:6)

The coming Jewish Feast are very important to the Christians as this year is the probable beginning of the Tribulation and the Rapture.

Thanks to Michael we have these enlightening articles.

“BLOW THE SHOFAR AT THE ROSH CHODESH (New Moon) and at the Full Moon of our pilgrimage feast” – Psalms 81:3

The sequence of every shofar blowing is a series of short blasts, and then a “Last Trump” the “t’qiah g’dolah” held as long as possible.

But there are three appointed “Pilgrimage Feast Days” in a Year…

(1.) The Barley.

Feast of Passover (Pesach), Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits:
The barley-harvest festival was coincident with the commemoration of the original Exodus, when the Hebrews came out of Egypt, ca. 1491 BC. Israel physically left the land of Egypt on the seventeenth day of Nisan/Abib, Abram’s departure from Haran was precisely 430 years earlier.

– The shofar was used for the coronation of kings in Nissan (1 Kings 1:34,39).
– Israel will be advised of the advent of the Messiah with the sound of the shofar (Zechariah 9:14,16).
– The ram’s horn, the shofar, is a reminder of Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac and God’s provision of a ram as a substitute (Genesis 22:13).
– The shofar was blown to announce the beginning of festivals (Numbers 10:10).
– The blowing of the shofar is a signal for the call to repentance (Isaiah 58:1).
– The blowing of the shofar ushers in the day of the Lord (Joel 2:1).
– The blowing of the shofar is sounded at the rapture of the believers and the resurrection of the dead (1 Thessalonians 4:16).
– John was taken up to Heaven in the Book of Revelation by the sound of the shofar (Revelation 4:1).
– Israel conquered in the battle of Jericho with the blast of the shofar (Joshua 6:20).
– The watchman who stood upon Jerusalem’s walls blew the shofar (Ezekiel 33:3-6).
– The shofar is a reminder that G-d is sovereign (Psalm 47:5).
– The shofar was blown to signal the assembly of the Israelites during war (Judges 3:27; 2 Samuel 20:1).

(2.) The Wheat.

Feast of Weeks (Pentecost or Shavuot):
The “Wheat-Harvest” festival was later mandated to be held 7 weeks after the Passover (Lev 23:15-21; Num 28:26; Deut 16:9-12; 34:22). Also a commemoration of the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai (Exodus 19).

– The Torah was given to Israel with the sound of the shofar at Mount Sinai (Exodus 19:19).
– Seven shofarim are sounded when God judges the earth during the tribulation (Revelation 8-9).

(3.) The “Ingathering”.

Feast of Booths (Tabernacles or Sukkoth):
The “Ingathering” or “Fruit-Harvest” festival became a commemoration of the 40 years that the Hebrew wandered in the desert, living in temporary shelters like tents or “booths” (Lev 23:33-36, 39-43; Deut 16:13-15). In the Second-Temple period, it was an 8-day festival involving the imagery of water and light; water was brought daily from the Pool of Siloam (cf. John 9:1) up to the Temple and poured over the altar; light was provided by large lamps that were lit nightly in the temple courtyards. The eighth day of Sukkoth, considered the last and greatest day of the feast, included an assembly of all the people (Lev 23:36).

– The shofar will be blown at the time of the ingathering of the exiles of Israel to their place (Isaiah [Yeshayahu] 27:13).
– The shofar was blown to announce the Jubilee year on the Day of Attonement (Leviticus 25:9).

Michael Wellman replied with a comment to my article of lunar eclipses with his timelines.

It is always very educational to hear your opinions regarding the link of the heavens above with the feasts and dates in the Jewish calendar.

Thank you Michael,

Nando

	Michael wellman.europe@gmail.com 139.139.35.70	Submitted on 2011/02/08 at 5:53 am Nando Your insight of 7177 is very interesting… The current set of consecutive eclipses marked by seven 177.14 day sequences. When you have 8 eclipses in such a cycle it lasts 42 lunar months or 1240 days, marking 7 periods of 177 days. 2/7/2008 29 Tevet 8/1/2008 1 AV 1/26/2009 29 Tevet 7/22/2009 1 AV 1/15/2010 29 Tevet 7/12/2010 1 AV 1/4/2011 28 Tevet 7/1/2011 29 Sivan Considering 2011 from another angle… This video by J.R. Church is compelling… Will Psalm 111 be fulfilled in 2011? http://vimeo.com/18333565 I count 8 times the word “shall” is used in Psalm 110, which indicates future tense. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. Psalm 110:3 Psalm 111 is characterized by the word “hath”, past tense. He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. Psalms 111:9 What year is it according to the Bible? In the May 1999 version of “Israel Today” there is an article titled: The Mystery of the 240 Missing Years. “In the article, David Rohl, an Egyptologist and Archaeologist, found hieroglyphics that provided a synchronization of the Jewish and Egyptian calendars. He asserted that 240 years are missing from modern Jewish reckoning, bringing us at that time to ‘the prophetic year 6000.’” The present Hebrew year is 5771 + 240 years = 6011 The Gregorian year is of course …….2011 Without trying to confuse the matter any further, the Bible indicates the year should start in Nissan not Tishri. The month in which the Israelites left Egypt was set as the first of the year. This is called Abib, the “month of ears” of grain. It was the spring month of the opening harvest, later called Nisan in Babylon, as it is known to the present day (see Ex. 23:15; 34:18; Deut. 16:1; Esther 3:7). So based on the Bible, IF there is a correlation between the Psalms and years, I would look for it past April 5th which could also be described as Nisan 1 6011 or 1-1-11.

Today is Tu’B'AV  or the summer harvest in Israel, it is a possible Rapture date and we shall see what happens. The article about Ruth is a good comparison to the church and its marriage to Jesus.

For those of us that have been waiting for the Rapture for many years it is another feast to look at with anticipation and joy. Let us rejoice for our Lord is coming soon for His Bride.

Today in Cuba it is the anniversary of the revolution and this date is a day of infamy for a Cuban like me. What a blessing it will be if this day of sorrow is transformed to a day of joy.

“THE PROPHETIC TIME LINE OF THE BOOK OF RUTH”

THE PROPHETIC TIME LINE OF THE BOOK OF RUTH

by Lucky Dowling

Ruth and Naomi first arrived in Bethlehem at the time of Passover at “the beginning of the barley harvest “( Ruth 1:22), towards the end of April.

“So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law” (Ruth 2:23).

At the end of both of these harvests, Ruth stopped living with Naomi her mother-in-law! Why? Because she then got married to Boaz! When was that? In ancient Israel intermarriage may only happen one-day-a-year on Tu’B'AV––the wedding day! It was a Levirate Marriage. See Deuteronomy 25:5-10 & Matthew 22:24-32 for more details. Ruth married Boaz on Tu’B'AV at the end of the wheat harvest! What is the significance of all this in Bible prophecy? Every beginning and ending of a harvest time falls on a Jewish feast day. ALL PROPHETIC EVENTS FOR ISRAEL foretold in Scripture were fulfilled on Jewish feast days at the beginnings and endings of harvest seasons! Please note that these were not Christian holidays and NO PROPHETIC EVENT for the New Testament church such as it’s beginning or ending , or even it’s very existence was foreseen in any Old Testament prophecy beforehand! It was all a HIDDEN MYSTERY (Ephesians 3:1-5) until it was first revealed unto the Apostle Paul! Therefore there are no REVEALED prophetic dates for any event for the New Testament church directly seen in Old Testament Scripture. Indirect references based upon New Testament foresight may help us to insinuate certain events. Allegories such as this do not directly teach doctrine, but they can confirm it! The Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 10:11, “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples [types]: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” And again in Romans 15:4, “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning…” All Scripture is indeed written for us but not to us. Allegories in Scripture are for us to understand the Plan of God correctly. This reveals and shows us the prophetic semblance in the book of Ruth. It was a living illustrated
message for us. Our Lord Jesus often taught using parables which illustrated truths along side stories from real
life for His disciples to learn from.

The Three Prophetic Seasons of the Jewish year:

1. Spring Feasts = Christ and ‘those that slept.’

The barley harvest lasted from Passover to Pentecost.
The wheat harvest lasted from Pentecost to Tu’B'AV.

These Spring harvests and feasts represented prophetic events (the resurrection of Christ and ‘those that slept’ –Matthew 27:52) that were completed and fulfilled during the period of the First Coming of Christ. These were all accomplished before or up until the time that the New Testament Church Age began on the Day of Pentecost.

2. Summer Time = The Bride and Body of Christ.

After the New Testament Church Age is finished and completed, the Fall harvests and feasts remaining yet to be completed and fulfilled will occur during the period of the Second Coming of Christ, and beyond. This leaves only one SEASON left without any prophetic semblance being revealed or seen to be fulfilled… SUMMER! This represents the HIDDEN MYSTERY group of those that make up the “church, which is His Body” (Ephesians 1:22-23). Ruth, the Gentile bride, represents this group that marries Boaz, a type of Christ. What can be known about the events to come from these happenings? The wheat harvest ends the Spring festivals. Notice that Summer Time ‘group’ is not mentioned but yet follows! We, the MYSTERY group, were not seen yet we still exist! This MYSTERY shall not be understood by national Israel until after the Fall festival season begins! Their BLINDNESS then ends (Romans 11:25). Once the Tribulation period begins all can and will be known regarding the rest of these events for Israel!!! Separate the things that differ.

3. Fall Feasts = The Judgments of the Sheep and Goat nations, and Israel.

Tu’B'AV is considered by some as prefiguring the Fall harvests or feasts.
The grape season was from Tu’B'AV to the Day of Atonement.

The Day of Atonement represents the Second Advent of Christ. That will be when the redemption and restitution of the nation of Israel is finally accomplished (Acts 3:21; 15:14-16 ) and their age-long apostasy and unbelief will then be over. The Fall spiritual harvest will be the redemption of the nation of Israel and judgment of those nations that treated Israel wrongly (Sheep and Goats – Matthew 25:31-45). This is the GRAPE (GOATS) and OLIVE (ISRAEL) harvest time periods. This will leave Tabernacles as the only feast left to be fulfilled during the coming Millennial Kingdom. God’s Plan for Israel was all foreseen and revealed in the feasts of ancient Israel.

This year Tu’B'AV is on: Monday July 26, 2010. Mean anything? We will wait and see what it brings. As long as we are still here it will bring nothing for us. After the New Testament church age is completed and is over with the Fall feasts begins as Israel’s prophetic program resumes and runs unto it’s completion. Maranatha. <><

““Tu B’ Av” Smoking Gun?“

Long-time reader, first-time writer. First off, thanks to all the brethren who “search the scriptures daily” and have shared their thoughts/inspirations/questions/ideas with the rest of us over the years. Keep it up! Having read various posts re: “Tu B’ Av”, I was reading Judges 21(as it pertained to it’s reference to Tu B ‘Av, the commemoration of the 200 Benjamite men carrying away 200 virgin girls from Shiloh for marriage as they take them back to their land in Benjamite territory) and noticed some interesting wording, specifically Hebrew meanings of words used in verses 15-23 of Judges 21, and here’s what I discovered: with ‘Benjamin’ meaning “son of the right hand”, ‘Shiloh” meaning “tranquil” (peaceful), (and “Shiloh” we know is a reference to Jesus Christ (“The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come. And the obedience of the peoples to him.” (Gen. 49:10), the verse infers that “The Son Who sits at the right hand (of God the Father) leaves His “territory” and snatches away the Virgin Bride of (the King of Peace) Shiloh and carries her away back to His territory (her new “inheritance”) The inheritance of the 600 Benjamites (Jud. 21), with over 25,000 of their brothers now slain (Jud. 20:35), is now a HUGE inheritance (John 14:2,3) (which the new bride now has “co-inherited” (Eph. 1:11) with the “Son of the Right Hand”). Now–the smoking gun? The word translated “seize” a wife (Jud. 21:21) and “caught ” (a virgin bride-to-be) (Jud. 21:23) in the Septuagint (Gk. trans. of old test.) = Harpazo–(yes, same word used in 1 Thess. 4:17   “Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up (harpazo) together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

Mr. Jim Bramlett posted this link in fivedoves.com today.

It is a very good article that explains why the Rapture must occur in the Month of July 2010 in the Jewish festival of Tu’B'Av.

Read the Comments after the article, they are very good and get your luggage ready for departure.
