FOR OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

Lord Jesus will return on Yom Kippur 2015

10 Tishrei, 5776

 which is September 23rd 2015

"The Day of the Lord"

I enjoy blessing others with  insights from the Word of God through the Hebraic perspective. 

I will also share the date for the rapture of the kä·häl, the qahal, the ekklēsia.  

I will show who the foolish virgins are. Please take notice this might apply to you. These are all the Sunday churches.

These are not great unknowable mysteries. You just have to apply the Hebraic perspective and know the many Jewish idioms that are applied in scripture. The gentiles tend to take the Jewish idioms as literal meanings. These Jewish idioms are figures of speech are liken to a type cipher used by those of the  Hebraic perspective mind. 

Our Lord Jesus first coming was during the spring feasts of Passover. This was Messiah ben Joseph the suffering servant, Adoni Yeshua.  

Our Lord Jesus second coming will be during the Jewish fall feasts of the Lord on Yom Kippur found in Leviticus 23. This is based on the Jewish calendar. This will be Messiah ben David.

Messiah ben Joseph and Messiah ben David are one in the same! Yeshua Hamashiach, Jesus the Messiah,  HaShem "God" in the flesh ! 

The rapture of the "kä·häl", the ekklēsia will occur on "the Feast of Trumpets."  Today this commonly known as Rosh HaShanah

The fall feast starts with  Rosh HaShanah (Feast of Trumpets). This is when the books are opened and everyone on the planet is under review for 10 days till Yom Kippur then the books are closed and good things go out to believers in Yeshua "Jesus" and bad things, the judgments are applied to the bad guys. 

The ten days in-between  Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur there is another event going on called “the" Yamim Noraim also known as the days of "Revelation" and starts on the day after the two day of the feast of Trumpets.

Then five days after Yom Kippur is the feast of Sukkot also called Succoth,  Chag Ha-Asif , Chag Ha-Asif (in Hebrew), the Festival of Ingathering or Ingathering or feast of Booths “tents.” This is commonly called the Feast of Tabernacles which is where God Tabernacles with man. This festival of Tabernacles is like going camping with God ! 

The book of Revelation in part is a model of this fall feasts of the Lord. 

The rapture will occur during the first part of the fall Feasts during the feast of Trumpets, also known as Rosh HaShanah. This is a two day feast event. 

The feast of Trumpets starts begins the fall feasts and is a two day feast event also called the feast that "no man knows the day or hour." This is a Jewish idiom describing this feast because it occurs on a " new moon " which is a "dark moon" cycle. If I was to say to you “I will see you on Turkey day" you would know that I am taking about Thanksgiving.  The feast of Trumpets is a two day feast and culminates with the 100 blast of the shofar which is a type of trumpet and the 100 blast is called the last trump.

Lord Jesus used this idiom to describe when the rapture is to occur as we read in Matthew 24:36.

Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

The day that no man knows, Jesus is speaking about the feast of Trumpets and only my father only “knows” is also a Jewish idiom of which a Jewish groom would say when asked when is going to get married ? The Jewish groom response back would be “only my father knows” So Jesus is speaking about the wedding feast of the Lamb of God is going to occur on the feast of Trumpets.

The Bible is God’s Ketubah , the written marriage contract.  There are two parts to this, the Kiddushin, the acceptance of offerings for the marriage. Our Lord Jesus paid this price for His bride, the church, with own His blood. The word Kiddushin has it’s origins from the word  which means to be sanctified. It reflects the holiness of the marriage. The second part of the is the nisuin which completes the marriage process. At the wedding when the man places the ring on woman's finger and says "Be sanctified " (mekudeshet).

While proving the Lord's return date occurring on Yom Kippur 2015 I will also prove that we are currently in the 70th week of Daniel which is the last sabbatical cycle, the last 7 years before the Lord Jesus return on Yom Kippur of 2015 which is Wednesday September 23rd.  The seventh year of the seven year cycle is called a Shmita year. In the Hebrew it is שמיטה‎ and this literally means "release."  

Also another item of great importance to many I will show who the foolish virgins are! Please take notice because this might apply to you! Especially if your a Sunday go to church Christian. These foolish virgins or the ones who get left behind, they don't get raptured!  These foolish virgins did not remember to keep God's Devine appointments, the Moedim, the Saturday Shabbats or the spring and fall feasts of the Lord. Sense the foolish virgins did not remember to keep their appointments with God, God chooses not remember them! Everyone needs to keep God's Devine appointed times, the Moedim.

 Leviticus 23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts (the mow`ed. The appointed place, appointed time, meeting) of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts ( mō·ād,  mow`edדעֵוֹמ ) 

The feasts, the Moedim, "Devine appointments" of the Lord are for everyone to keep.

Isaiah 56:1-8 Thus says the LORD: "Keep justice, and do righteousness, For My salvation is about to come, And My righteousness to be revealed.
Blessed is the man who does this, And the son of man who lays hold on it; Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, And keeps his hand from doing any evil." 
Do not let the son of the foreigner Who has joined himself to the LORD Speak, saying, "The LORD has utterly separated me from His people"; Nor let the eunuch say, "Here I am, a dry tree."  For thus says the LORD: "To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, And choose what pleases Me, And hold fast My covenant, Even to them I will give in My house And within My walls a place and a name Better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name That shall not be cut off.  Also the sons of the foreigner Who join themselves to the LORD, to serve Him, And to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants-- Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, And holds fast My covenant Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar; For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations."  The Lord GOD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, "Yet I will gather to him Others besides those who are gathered to him."

Here are my seven proof points that will show that we are currently in the "70th week of Daniel."  This is a phrase that describes the last seven years before the Lord’s return, a sabbatical cycle. I will show here the actual date of the Lord's return to earth for His second coming. Again the spring feasts called Passover are for the Lord's first coming and the Jewish fall feasts, the Feast of Tabernacles are for the Lord's second coming. The book of Revelation in part is a model of the fall feasts!  Keep this in mind Yeshua can only return on Yom Kippur and only on a Jubilee year the next one will occur on Yom Kippur of 2015. Jesus started His ministry on Yom Kippur as we read in Luke 4:17- 4:20 and He will return to earth on Yom Kippur, which will be, the acceptable year of the Lord (a Jubilee year). The day of vengeance of God ! The day of the Lord!  

Isaiah 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn,

I am a full time Biblical researcher for a ministry with a passion for Bible prophecy! I have studied with the best prophecy teachers for nearly 20 years. I am an ordained pastor. I am a Messianic Jew and I try to be a Torah observant. The Hebraic perspective is the key to unlocking Bible.

 

Here are my proof points showing that we are in the 70th week of Daniel 

By Pastor Douglas Nicholson / Messianic Jew / Newport Beach, CA USA

Proof Point One

Israel is back as a nation again! A prophetic last days starting point

May 14th 1948   Yom Ha'atzmaut ,   5 Lyar 5708    Israel Independence day 

I am now going to show some of the arguments here for proving that we have actually entered into the 70th week of Daniel, which is the last seven years before our Lord Jesus Christ’s return to earth.  I will also show that our Lord Jesus will return to earth on Yom Kippur of 2015 which on the Gregorian calendar falls on Wednesday September 23rd 2015.  I will show why this is the absolute only date for our Lord Jesus Christ return to earth.

The quickest way to prove that we are currently in the 70 week of Daniel is to show that no other time frame can possible work. No other dates will work all things prophetically considered!

Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

Matthew 24:7-8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows (birth pains).

The proper exegesis of this passage is of the word “generation” which literally means from the Greek “genea”, “this born one” which is refereeing to the birth of the nation of Israel which occurred after the two birth pangs of World War I and World War II. World War I prepared the land for the return of the Jews with the Balfour declaration and the birth pang of World War II which brought the Jews back into the land. From those two events came the birth of the nation of Israel on May 14th 1948. I can not tell you how many Bible teachers completely miss this plain observation of World War I and World War II as being the birth pangs that gave birth to the nation of Israel.     

Isaiah  66:7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. Isaiah 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. Isaiah 66:9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.

With Israel being a nation again this extremely powerful fulfillment of prophecy is given as a sign for the last days before our Lord Jesus return to earth. With Israel in the land this also sets up many of the other prophetic events that need to occur in these last days that we are now living in.

So with Israel back in the land as a nation it is time to start looking hard for all the prophetic signs that will follow. 

 

Proof Point Two

How old is a generation?

With the birth of the nation of Israel we now we have a fixed date to work with of 1948. From this we can easily deduce the following. How much time is left before our Lord Jesus Christ return to earth for His second advent! 

Our Lord Jesus said from the Matthew 24:34 passages listed above that “this generation will not pass till all is fulfilled.” So all these things must be completed before our Lord Jesus can return to earth to rule and reign and this begs the next question how old is the life span of a generation?

The best passage to use to determine the age of a generation is Psalm 90:10 “The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years.” Now a generation age can not be anything number less 60 years because we are already 60 plus years down the time line sense the birth of the nation of Israel on May 14th 1948.  So we will use the threescore years and ten which is 70 years because this number of years fits best into the equation. I explain why this fits better then using the 80 years for the age of a generation later on.

So with the birth of the nation of Israel occurring on May 14th 1948.

Plus the time frame for a generation to live is to be 70 or 80 years long.

Brings us to the maximum outside return date for our Lord Jesus of 2028.

It can not go beyond that date with the information we have presented so far!

Now we need to look at some other considerations. The Jubilee year! Leviticus 25. Jesus will only return on a Jubilee year. And the next one will occur on September 23rd 2015. This is also Yom Kippur. So the 2028 date is too far out of range but if we use the max age of 70 years that brings us up to 2018. 

Israel is now 61years of age and before Israel reaches the age of 70 the Lord Jesus will return. Again trying to use the age of 80 for Israel 's max age for this prophecy of the Lord's return date will not work because the Jubilee year of 2015 occurs before Israel 's 80th birthday and the next Jubilee after that is too far out of range. Only this upcoming Jubilee year will work. No other Jubilee years will work to fulfill this prophecy!  We are warned to study and know the Word of God and not to be asleep "unaware" of the Lord's second coming.  We need to watchful. 

The Sabbatical cycle that we are currently in, this measure of seven years began the past September 29 2008. So this places us currently in the 70th week of Daniel. I will continue to showing this with my proof points. 

Sense we are now in the 70th week of Daniel this makes all those pre-tribulation rapture teachers out to be liars. Ouch ! The rapture will only occur at the end of this 70th week of Daniel during the Feast of Trumpets 2015.

They reason they missed the mark is because they did not apply the Hebraic perspective. 

You must think like a Jew! Understand the scriptures like Jew, walk like a Jew to understand the Hebraic perspective, it's Jewish context and know the Jewish idioms and expressions applied !

Put your Jew on!  You must be "Torah observant"  which is the proper walk with God and believe in the mission of Messiah Adonai Yeshua, Lord Jesus Christ !

Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 

Yeshua is the Lord of the Sabbath (Saturday) 

Matthew 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day.
Mark  2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath.
Luke 6:5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath. 

Proof Point Three

The Two Yom Kippur’s

Isaiah 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,……… and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

Interesting enough our Lord Jesus started His ministry on Yom Kippur. We read about this in Luke 4:16-21 when our Lord Jesus Christ read from Isaiah 61:2 “To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD” and then up to that point Jesus suddenly stopped reading!  Then further on in Luke 4:20-21 we read, “And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears!”

Again this was on Yom Kippur as this is the prescribed Jewish scripture reading for Yom Kippur.

This is where our Lord Jesus stopped reading applies only to His first coming! The second part of the Yom Kippur Isaiah scripture reading only applies to His second coming which is yet to be fulfilled prophetically. Knowing this that the beginning of Jesus ministry started on Yom Kippur is a major foretelling of when our Lord Jesus is to return to earth. This will also be on Yom Kippur and on the next Jubilee year which will occur during the year of Rosh Hashanah of September 14th and 15th 2015. 

Isaiah 61:1-2 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD……….. and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

Ezekiel also saw the Lord’s return to earth on Yom Kippur!

We read this Ezekiel 40:1  “in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month”

That day is Yom Kippur! It was the first month of the year and on the 10th day.

Ezekiel 40:2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel , and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south. Ezekiel 40:3 And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

So knowing that our Lord Jesus can only return on Yom Kippur and only on a Jubilee year tightens up the time frame even further! Yet still falls with 70 years time frame for the age of a generation. The next Jubilee now sets a max date for Yom Kippur of 2015.That event date will occur on September 23rd 2015.

The next Jubilee after 2015 will occur during 2064. So that 2064 Jubilee date is too far out of range for the 70 years or even the 80 years for the age for the age of a generation which began at the birth of the nation of Israel in 1948. If the 80 years was utilized it would only bring us up to 2028. So that discounts the using of 80 years as a possible max age.

The occurrence of the Jubilee year dates can be easily found in the Encyclopedia Judaica with known recorded historical dates to confirm this upcoming Jubilee year date of 2015. Again Yom Kippur occurs as the middle of feast of the three fall feasts which are grouped together. The first of these feasts is the Feast of Yom Teruah  , the Feast of Trumpets for two days then on the 10th day is Yom Kippur, the day of atonement and then the Feast of Tabernacles also called Succoth where God tabernacles with man on earth. 

As I side note. Modern Israel began with the Balfour declaration of November 2nd 1917 which coincidently fell within the 50th Jubilee year; the Jews began returning into the land on that date. The Jews also captured the city of Jerusalem on June 7th 1967 with the 6 day war. This also fell within the 51st Jubilee year. The next Jubilee is the 52nd Jubilee.

The occurrences of a Jubilee year are determined by seven sabbatical years cycles and can be found in Leviticus 25. Jubilee means the blowing of trumpets. There is a lot involved in a Jubilee year that we need to be aware of and to keep! I will just touch on some of what the Lord commands for a Jubilee year. 

Leviticus 25:8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. Leviticus 25:9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

The day of Yom Kippur occurs on the 10th day of the 1st month of the Jewish year this occurs during the fall time of year.

Leviticus 25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. Leviticus 25:11 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.
Leviticus 25:12 For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. Leviticus 25:13 In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession…………… Leviticus 25:17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God. Leviticus 25:18 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

The Jubilee year is a very holy event that everyone needs to honor and be obedient to. For we are command by God do this. In doing this, the keeping of all of His commanded appointed times we will reap the many blessings that He has for us.   

Proof Point Four

From Daniel 9:25

The dual prophecy of the Lord’s first and also His second coming.

Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks:

These are actually dual prophecies given for the first coming of Lord Jesus and also for the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The 7 weeks of years and the 62 weeks of years. 

Most students of the Bible are aware of the Daniel’s first coming prophecy of Jesus the messiah which was prophetical fulfilled during the spring feasts in that the Messiah was killed for his people.

Many are not aware of the second coming prophecy from this Daniel 9:25 passages which actually show that our Lord Jesus Christ second coming will occur during the fall feast and on the specific date of Yom Kippur September 23rd 2015. Let me show you the exact numbers for this.

Remember this is a dual prophecy of 7 weeks and 62 weeks!

Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks:

We see after 62 weeks Messiah is to be killed.

Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off. (killed)

So where do we apply the 7 weeks of the 7 and 62 weeks ?

We apply that 7 weeks of years, its number of days to when Jerusalem is restored for the second time! A second coming prophecy of Messiah Yeshua from the second restoration date for Jerusalem . When did Jerusalem get restored for a second time? When the Jews took back Jerusalem on  June 7th 1967 and they have been building ever sense.

Now to show you the actually numbers for the fulfillment of this prophecy

The 7 weeks of years, or 49 years are equal to 17640 days needed to fulfill this prophecy!  

We then apply theses number of days to the restore date for Jerusalem of June 7th 1967.

First we then add 23 days to finish the month June.

We then add 207 days to finish out the year of 1967.

Then counting up the number of days up to end 2014 including leap year days would bring us for a total number of days of 17374. We need a total number of 17640 days to find the date of the Lord’s return.  

We then add 243 days to bring us to the end of August of 2015.

We still have 23 days remaining to be applied to the month of September. This would bring us up to September 23 2015 which is also happens to be Yom Kippur and also the Jubilee year. 

Our Lord Jesus Christ will only return on Yom Kippur on the Jubilee year. 

To view these numbers! Here are the actual days broken down from June 7th 1967 to September 23rd 2015 for the Lord return on Yom Kippur

Proof Point Five

Let’s do the math from the book of Daniel and Revelation for even another Yom Kippur confirmation date for our Lord Jesus Christ return.

I will now show the number of days for a “week of years” Tishri to Tishri plus 10 days additional days will equate to the date of the Lord’s return also confirming the Yom Kippur return date on the Jubilee year. 

First from Daniel 9:27 we read

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease

Just occurred ! ( "covenant with many" The Vatican "team anti-Christ, the Vicar of Christ" has just signed an MOU with the Arab League on April 23 2009

MOU is a Memorandum of Understanding; it is likening to a contract. I am very familiarly with MOU’s sense I have drafted up MOU’s for the Sheriff Office that I did search and rescue with. 

Now to show the number of days for a “week of years” Tishri to Tishri plus 10 days additional days will equate to the date of the Lord’s return also confirming the Yom Kippur return date on the Jubilee year.

Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. 

So in reading this the time frame up to just after the point and will be 1290 days!  

Now in Revelation we are given the number of days that the lawless one will be given to desecrate the temple and blaspheme God to be 42 month or 1260 days.

In Revelation 13:5 and 12:6 we read

Revelation 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

So the evil leader in Revelation 13:5 goes on for 42 months which is also 1260 days and because of this, the woman, i.e. the nation of Israel , goes and hides out for the same time frame of 1260 days.

When you add up Daniel’s 12:11 to be 1290 days plus the number of days for Israel to go and hide of 1260 days as we read in Revelation 12:6 this then gives us a total of 2550 days.

Now to show you knowing that our Lord Jesus Christ will only return only on the Yom Kippur date then these 2550 days must add up to the Yom Kippur date exactly!

The number of moons on a Jewish lunar calendar for a sabbatical cycle, a seven year period will be 86.  The moon revolves around the earth every 29.530 days. You then multiply the number of moons cycles of 86 for a 7 year cycle by the number the days it takes for moon to cycle around the earth of 29.53 days give us the total number of days of 2,539.58 days rounded up to 2540 days. This would bring us to the Feast of Trumpets which is the first day of Tishri.

So with 2540 days for the full “sabbatical cycle” We still need to add 10 more days to bring us to the 2550 days needed from Daniel and Revelation prophecy for the Lord’s return date. We then add the 10 day more days to the first day of Tishri also known as Feast of Trumpet’s and this would bring us to Yom Kippur, which is a Jubilee year 2015 as the return date for our Lord Jesus Christ.

      

Proof Point Six

Blood moons over Jerusalem . The signs and the seasons and the signature of God

We read in Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world

This is the opening line from a very great study by our Lord Jesus known to theologians and students of eschatology as the “Olivet Discourse.”

Jesus is advising His disciples on several questions that they had. When shall these things be? From history the answer to that particular question was when the temple was destroyed in 70 AD.

Then the disciples asked Jesus what shall be the sign of thy coming? And Jesus responded back with what we read in Matthew 24:7-8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. “Birth pains”

So Jesus was speaking about World War I and World War II and the post events that gave birth to the nation of Israel . Nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom is a Jewish idiom that our Lord Jesus used which describes a war that starts in a small way then grows to encompass many nations.

Further on In Matthew 24:29 we read “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken”

This passage is speaking about the time frame of the tribulation and states “Immediately after or “with” the tribulation” the sun will be darkened and moon shall not give her light.  The Greek word “after” meta as also has a meaning of  “with.”

In Acts 2:20 we read “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:”

And in Joel 2:31 we read “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.”

Now I would like present some very rare upcoming celestial events, lunar eclipses known as blood moons and solar eclipses that have the signature of God all over it. These are extremely rare celestial events that will occur over Jerusalem which this needs to be pointed out sense eclipses can occur any where!   

When there are four consecutive lunar eclipses and all are total eclipses, these particular groupings are known as a tetrad. The next time this tetrad event will occur over Jerusalem will be during the years of 2014 and 2015.

What is even more interesting is that these very rare blood moon tetrad will also occur on the Jewish high holidays of Passover on April 15, 2014 and then again on Feast of Tabernacles October 8th of 2014. This repeats again the following year on Passover of April 4th 2015 and then again on the feast of Tabernacles on September 28th 2015. The September 28th date is a post the tribulation eclipse.

The blood moon tetrad is a very rare occurrence indeed. Having these blood moons occur on the Jewish high holidays “the feast days” is even rarer! The Passover is a spring feast as most know and is the beginning of the seven feasts of the year and Tabernacles is the concluding fall feasts of the Lord.

So we have a blood moon tetrad occurring over Jerusalem and also occurring on the Jewish high holidays! This gives this blood moom tetrad the signature of God all over it!  An in-depth Bible student might know that name of God is also written at a tetrad. In English it is written as YHWH, or in the Hebrew הוהי  which is also called “The Name” or "ha'Šhem." The technical term for this is called the tetragrammaton which means “word of four letters.” Is this just a coincidence blood moon tetrads over Jerusalem tied to “The Name”? The rabbis say “coincidence” is not a Kosher word.

A blood moon tetrad and only occurring over Jerusalem and only on Jewish high holidays  has the signature of God all over it! God set up the Jewish lunar calendar with the feasts of the Lord in mind. These are special Devine appointments assemblies for His glory and good purpose for everyone to keep. The extremely rare blood moon tetrad, four consecutive lunar eclipses will not occur again over Jerusalem till after the end of this century.

Now for even some more observations about the very rare blood moon tetrads over Jerusalem occurring on the Jewish high holidays of Passover and Succoth.

There was a blood moon tetrad occurrence just after Israel became a nation in 1948. Again occurring on Passover and Succoth for the years of 1949 and 1950! A very rare event and again occurring only on Jewish high holidays! The signature of God all over it! 

The next the very rare blood moon tetrad occurred over Jerusalem was in 1967 and 1968. This too occurred on the Jewish high holidays of Passover and Succoth. So this particular blood moon tetrad is tied to the recapturing of the city of Jerusalem . 

There were no blood moon tetrad any where in the 1800s, the 1700s, the 1600s. During the 1500s, there were six but none of these fell on Passover and Succoth. There was a rare blood moon tetrad tied the Jewish high holidays of Passover and Succoth during 1493 and 1494, again over Jerusalem this blood moon tetrad is tied to the when the Jews were kicked out Spain and had started their migration back to Israel.  

The rabbis teach that blood moons, "lunar eclipses" are a sign used by God for the judgment Israel .

The rabbis also teach that solar eclipses are sign for the judgment of the nations of the world.

Now I want to share about the upcoming solar eclipses which will occurring over Jerusalem and all occurring on the 1st of Av for three consecutive years. The first one will occur on August 1st , 2008 which is the 1st of Av, the next one will be on July 22nd  2009 again on the 1st of Av, the next one will be on July 11th  2010  again will occur on the 1st of Av on the Jewish lunar calendar. These are rare events and occurring a same day on the Jewish calendar makes it even more of a rare occurrence.

Av 1 sits in the middle of Tammuz 17 to Av 9. The rabbis like to call these three weeks “the dark time or between the straits” Moses has found the people worshiping the golden calf on Jewish calendar day of the 17th of Tammuz.  Also from Av 1 to the 9th there are to be no comforts to be enjoyed, no bathing, no clean clothes, no shoes and must reading from the book of Lamentations. However there will come time when God will change that and turn that into days of joy and feast as we read this in Zechariah 8:19

Zechariah 8:19 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month (Tammuz 17), and the fast of the fifth, (Av 9) and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace

Sense the rabbis declare that solar eclipses over Jerusalem are to be a sign to pronounce judgment upon the gentile nations. It is possible that some time this summer God could begin judging the gentile nations with various tremendous hardships and difficulties.

We read in Isaiah 13:10-13 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.  Isaiah 13:11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.  Isaiah 13:12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. Isaiah 13:13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

And we read in Isaiah 24:23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion , and in Jerusalem , and before his ancients gloriously.

Isaiah was the first prophet to introduce prophecies of lunar and solar eclipse.

We also read about solar and lunar events in the book of Joel as a precursor to the Day of the Lord

Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

Joel 3:15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining

Indeed more confirming proof for the times that we are now living in. These are last seven years before our Lord’s return to earth on Yom Kippur of the year 2015.

The four lunar eclipses will occur on:

Passover, April 15, 2014
The Feast of Tabernacles, October 8, 2014
Passover, April 4, 2015 and
The Feast of Tabernacles, September 28, 2015

and only over Jerusalem

The Solar Eclipse over Jerusalem

There will be the first of three solar eclipses on the day that introduces the first of Av

That’s right, all three solar eclipses will be on the biblical date of Av 1, which is the Jewish calendar, God's calendar. 

The Gregorian calendar dates for these solar eclipse are:

Av 1 - August 1, 2008 - partial eclipse ( start of economic judgments upon the world) 

On Sept 18th 2008 the Federal Reserve suffered a near total financial melt down and the post effects are still be felt around the world with banking failures.

Even more economic collapse has been forecasted to arrive sometime by October of 2009  


Av 1 - July 22, 2009 - partial eclipse ( start of judgments by war upon the world )

The fastest way out of great depression is a great war! 

Nation's will scramble and jockey for position at various global locations to forcibly to justify pursing their own consumer needs and political and ideological pursuits. 

Av 1 - July 11, 2010 - partial eclipse

 Proof Point Seven

Gaza will be forsaken just before the tribulation is to begin!

Just as there are many signs before the rapture is to occur there is a sign before the tribulation period is to begin.  It is prophesied from Zephaniah 2:4 that Gaza would be given up.

Well Gaza was given up recently on August 22nd of 2005. This occurred just before the start of the new sabbatical cycle which began on September 29, 2008. So this sabbatical cycle we are now in is proving to be beyond any doubt to be the 70th week of Daniel.

Zephaniah 2:2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you. Zephaniah 2:3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger. 2:4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up

When will the rapture occur?

Summary and Conclusion

 

Just as in His first coming our Lord Jesus fulfilled the spring feasts sequentially to the very day. The Lord Jesus will also fulfill these fall feasts sequentially which is first the Feast of Trumpets, the rapture of the church, then Yom Kippur, Lord’s return and then Succoth also known as Tabernacles and Indwelling which can also be seen as Repentance, Redemption and Rejoicing!   


So the rapture of the church will occur on the Feast of Trumpets just before the Lord’s return date on Yom Kippur of September 23rd 2015. The following event of Yom Kippur will be Succoth where God tabernacles with man on earth for 1000 years. This is also a 7th 1000th years so it will be a time of rest !  

The Feast of Trumpets, the rapture feast begins on Monday, the 14th of September and will continue for 2 days until Tuesday, the 15th of September. Feasts start at sundown the day prior to the feast event. Everyone needs to be ready and watchful. There is a final test! Don’t look back just before the rapture is to occur! Just look straight up and keep looking up for the Lord and don’t look back. Just remember what happened to mama Lot when she looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt. She was not obedient to what was commanded!

Luke 17:31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Luke 17:32 Remember Lot 's wife

The 1000 year rein of Christ on earth.

During this time when God tabernacles with man on earth there will be the answer to  Daniel’s prayer as Daniel received it from the angel Gabriel. We read in Daniel 9:24

To finish transgression ( to literally restrain rebellion) No rebellion will be permitted !

To make an end of sins ( to literally complete sin) Sin will be put away.

To make reconciliation for iniquity (to cover iniquity) Price of sin paid for with His blood.

To bring in everlasting righteousness (To enter in forever righteousness everlasting)

To seal up the vision and prophecy (To literally lock up) Also read Zechariah 13

To anoint the most Holy. (The establishment of the final temple)

Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

September 29 2008 is the start of the 70th week of Daniel

My hope is that you are very blessed by my thesis showing that we have indeed entered the 70th week of Daniel and that will you will adjust your life around God’s plan and make today doing God’s will, more then ever, the most important thing in your life.

Best blessings through Yeshua !

Who are the foolish virgins? Are you one?

Please take notice because this might apply to you! 

Especially if your a Sunday go to church Christian please take notice.

 

The foolish virgins found in Matthew 25 "Are those who failed to be Torah observant"  the commandments of God, particularly Shabbat and the mandatory Lord's feast days. These foolish virgins were 'wise in their own eyes" and wanted to keep  what holidays days of their own interpretation of these that they thought they should keep and when! 

 

Lord Jesus expressed this to  foolish virgins,  "I know you not" which means "I don't remember you!"

 

Matthew 25:12 But he answered (Jesus) and said, Verily I say unto you," I know you not."  ( I don't remember you )

 

Now you can search for that phrase, " I know you not" or " I never knew you" in the Bible and you will find the following. This first example is interesting. You find those  who professed Christ and did great great ministries like plant a lot of churches, maybe started up radio and TV ministries and maybe even cast out devils, but the Lord says to this particular group of churches,  I don't remember you!  Depart from me, ye that did not keep the commandments of God, the Torah.  

 

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.   

 (Those who did not keep Torah, those where not Torah observant. Those who should have kept the Saturday Shabbat and all the Feasts of the Lord as part of being Torah observant which is keeping the commandments of God )

   Again we see in Luke13:26 we read the same phrase "I know you not" meaning I don't remember you.  The foolish virgins are saying "did we not have intimate fellowship with you and heard the Word of God in our neighborhoods!" 

Luke 13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.  

Those who were not  Torah observant! Those who did not keep the commandments of God 

The foolish virgins are not being remembered because they failed to remember the Lord on His weekly Shabbat day appointment (Saturday) and also for not remembering to keep all the "Feasts of the Lord" ! The spring feasts of the Lord and the fall feasts of the Lord. These very mandatory Devine appointments of God set aside for everyone to keep with God.  

If your trying to  have intimate fellowship with someone you keep all your various appointments with them. But if your no show over and over again for keeping your appointments with them, they will soon forget about you !

The Sabbath is a "Saturday" weekly Devine appointment with God and a top item that God instituted for man's fellowshipping with God.

Torah is the instructions for having a proper walk with God. God appointments get first priority each year in your daily planner each year. You have to keep the mandatory yearly appointments with God, this includes the spring and fall feasts, unless your sick or worse. Keeping Torah is not a hard thing to do as some would like exaggerate it to be or poke fun at. Go and ask a Messianic believer in Yeshua about keeping Torah, it is not a hard thing to do. Because we have the comforter, the Holy Spirit to help us and we have grace. The Torah keeps us on track, it's the lamp that lights the path for that proper walk that we need to have with God.  

1John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

If you remember to keep your appointments with God, He will remember you ! He will know you as "one of His"

If you don't remember to keep your appointments with God, He will not remember you ! He will say, "I never knew you."

Being Torah observant keeps out paganism, cults and false prophets! Torah demands it! This is the proper and only walk with God!  It is our foundation for a proper walk with God !

Paganism all goes back to Nimrod and Babylon which is the fountain of all idolatry as we know.  With paganism we see Sunday worship, Baal, Ishtar, Saturnalia practices also know as Christ’s-mass.

Exodus 20:8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Isaiah 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

The book of Revelation best shows whom gets to go to heaven! 

Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

So those that keep the commandments God "those who are Torah observant" and keep the faith in Jesus, believe in His mission, are the ones who get to eat from the tree of life and are allowed to enter in to the Holy city! 

So keeping those weekly "Saturday Sabbath's" and each year the Devine appointments, the spring and fall feasts of the Lord are so very important. 

Pagans kept and celebrate "Easter Sunday on their appointed Sunday each year!" This is not found in the Bible instructions. By comparison Torah teaches to keep and celebrate "Passover which from the specific date per GOD'S instructions, to keep it on Nisan 15, what ever day of the week that it might fall on.

Those who think they are wiser they God want to change dates that God commands to keep. 

Who is Daniel describing as the one "change times and laws" 

Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws:

 Christmas is pagan! Dec 25th is known for Nimrod's birthday. Those who celebrate Christmas profess "that their savior of the world" was born on Christmas day, that person was Nimrod, it was not Jesus! Yeshua "Jesus" was born on feast of Tabernacles, a fall feast day where God tabernacles with man.

Jeremiah 10:2-4 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.  For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not

We know what Jeremiah is talking about here and this is a pagan practice of the sun god worshipers !

I enjoy the Hebraic perspective on Scriptures ! Makes sense! A Jewish book, written by Jews for Jews! 

Bottom line:

The foolish virgins are all the gentile Sunday Christian churches, IT HAS TO BE !   Any church that rejects Torah is called a gentile church! These are all the Sunday go to church Christians,  the Catholics, protestant churches, non denominational churches and others , you name it!  If they reject Torah it's pagan! , these are the gentile churches, the foolish virgins.  

The battle has been for the Sabbath for a long time. The Saturday Sabbath was the first thing God instituted !

Exodus 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 

HaShem "God" has not changed !  

Yeshua " Lord Jesus" is the Lord of the Sabbath (Saturday) 

Matthew 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
Mark  2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Luke 6:5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

The anti-Christ followers have their Sabbath on Sunday's in keeping with their Nimrod sun god practices. I call the Sunday go to church Christians "Nimrod Christians"  

If you want to go to heaven, to be raptured,  you must be Torah observant and keep the faith of Messiah Yeshua "Lord Jesus" 

"Keeping the faith" of Jesus is to believe in His mission. Who He claimed to be and what He did for the whole world.  

The only way to do that is to attend ANY Messianic Jewish congregation ! 

Because they teach to be Torah observant and teach to keep Shabbat "Saturday" each week and keep the Feasts of the Lord. 

Please use search words "Messianic Jewish Congregation" in a search engine with your area in mind. Everyone is welcome to attend at any Messianic Jewish Congregation! You don't have to be Jewish ! You will learn the Hebraic perspective on the Scriptures, you will learn Torah and how to be Torah observant. The worship services are very nice. There is usually Messianic dance at these worship services. Normally the Shabbat services that I participate at are all day events!  First there is a worship service and the prescribed Torah parsha study, then a New Testament study and after that  we then break for an oneg which is a pot luck. Then it goes into either special studies, or have a Messianic dance work shops or have time of group prayer or just socialize and share about the blessings of Yeshua in our life. Just a wonderful full day of fellowshipping with God and others at Shabbat. We greet one another on Shabbat by saying "Shabbat Shalom!" 

Read this again from the words of Lord Jesus from the book of Revelation, its a two part deal. 

Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

If you do both you have access to the tree of life and may enter into the holy city. 

 

A BIG WARNING! 

YOU MUST REJECT ALL THE TEACHING OF THE FALSE APOSTLE PAUL ! 

You must reject all of the apostle Paul's teachings. This is not an addition too but an acknowledgment by you that you are "truly" keeping with all the commandments of God. Those who keep the commandments of God are "commanded to reject the teachings of a false prophet or false apostle", Deuteronomy 13:1-5 and Paul is a false prophet and by rejecting the false apostle Paul is the very needed proof that you are keeping all the commandments of God

James the brother of Jesus one of the early church fathers went out of his way to warn other about the false apostle Paul who James called the false apostle Paul "The Liar" and the "Wicked Priest." The word Wicked means "without Torah" or "without the commandments of God." Please read my article "The Big Test"  The rejecting of Paul's teachings is a big test by God to see if your keeping with the commandments. You must reject Paul's teachings in order to go to heaven ! This part of the commandments and God's big test for you!   

 

Revelation 2:1 "To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, 'These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lamp stands: Revelation 2:2 "I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars;

James in Act 21:21 questions Paul about all the negative reports about  Paul's false teachings on the Word of God 

Acts 21:21 but they have been informed about you (PAUL) that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to the customs.

This busts Paul for being a false prophet! Anyone who teaches away from being Torah observant is a false prophet. 

Jesus had to pass the test of prophet of God as found in Deuteronomy 13:1-5 and Lord Jesus taught as primary doctrine to "always keep all the commandments of God." To be Torah observant. 

Reading further down in Acts 21:28, the Jews of Ephesus while in Jerusalem for a required attendance feast spot Paul the false apostle in the Temple and boldly bring railing accusations against Paul to their fellow Jews at the Temple. They are commanded to do so by the commandments of God! These are Torah keeping Jews who have spotted a false prophet, the false apostle Paul.  

Act 21:28 crying out, "Men of Israel, help! This is the man (PAUL) who teaches all men everywhere against the people (THE JEWS) , the law (TORAH), and this place; and furthermore he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place."

Paul the false apostle is busted again by eye and ear witnesses about Paul teaching away from keeping the commandments of God. 

Torah contains the commandments of God! It is the foundation and the lamp to see the path for a proper walk with God ! Messiah and Torah go hand in hand.

The Word of God teaches us to separate oneself from the world by keeping God's commandments and His will for your life! 


Other items to be aware of. 

The Bible is the story of Israel and there are the two book ends in the telling of the story of Israel .

First book end begins with the story of the parting of the Red Sea . A major miracle of God delivering Israel from it’s enemies.  Exodus 13:17-15:21 Also Passover was also instituted at this time with the spring feasts of Lord.

The second book end will be "Ezekiel 38 & 39" which is also a major miracle of God who Him "alone" will delivery Israel from its enemies. Just like the first bookend.

The Ezekiel 38 & 39 prophecy event is on the very near horizon and it is only God who will deliver Israel from their enemies. This is a grand stand play by God.

Now this is prophesized to be Fall feast event for the times of Jacobs trouble. Can you see these two book ends for this part of the story of Israel ?
