05/24/21 ~ "four months" then the harvest ...

"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 KJV}

My notes concerning the following scripture ... "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." {John 4:35 KJV}

"four months" ===> https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G5072&t=KJV
Strong's Number G5072 matches the Greek τετράμηνος (tetramēnos),
which occurs 1 times in 1 verses in the Greek concordance of the KJV

tetramenos:
===> "TETRA" means: "four"
===> "men" means: "month" or "new moon"
===> "os" is plural so "menos" means: "months" or "new moons"
{I believe the FULL moon is the true "new moon", not the crescent}

How *might* the above tie into 2021 AD and the rapture?
===> As of today, May 24, 2021AD, which is the 74th year of Israel (from May 15th) ...

"four months" = 120 days

-IF- Nisan/Abib is from (depending on when one starts the biblical year and under what conditions) ...
1=Feb/Mar; 2=Mar/Apr; 3=Apr/May; 4=May/Jun -or-
1=Mar/Apr; 2=Apr/May; 3=May/Jun; 4=Jun/Jul -or-
1=Apr/May; 2=May/Jun; 3=Jun/Jul; 4=July/Aug

Four months, 120 days, from Passover (rather the firstfruit offering) until Pentecost (Shavuot) - Ruth, who was a Gentile, being a typology of the church (living with her mother-in-law, Naomi's, who is a type of Israel - whereby her God is our God, etc, see Ruth 1:16-17 KJV) gleans the harvest until the END of the barley AND the wheat harvests ...

"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 KJV}


WOW, have we finally arrived at the year of our redemption? We can't know for sure ...but... I sure hope so! Keep looking up!

 

05/09/21 ~ After the Rapture ...

Revelation 8 ~ After the Rapture

 

I created this letter today and left a few copies around the house. I post it here for those "left behind", you are in our prayers ... 

 

What happened? Where did I go???

"So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation." {Hebrews 9:28 KJV}

If I have * dis-appeared * along with others, fear not, I have joined the love of my life (my husband, Scotty), and others in Christ, to meet our Lord in the air at His appearing (aka: the resurrection of the dead in Christ, followed by, and along with, the catching up of living believers), the rapture of His church has happened. I'm truly sorry that you missed it. And YES, Jasper is fine, he's with me, and NO we were not snatched by “aliens” LOL

"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." {1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 KJV}

<REDACTED> {Continuing} ... Read all you can find here of what I have saved on paper or put as favorites in my various web browsers. These things (even older stuff) will help you come to terms with where you are in HIS-story (history). Also, read my blog https://thelambswife.blogspot.com/

But of the utmost importance, READ MY BIBLES, any version thereof, I prefer the KJV <REDACTED>. Your answers are in that book, guard it with your life, read it, seek the Holy Spirit to help you understand it ===>not by your own interpretation<=== HE will show you what is to come, IF you've asked the Lord into your heart & life.

So, what happened? The rapture! Read on …

What will happen next? My best guess, you have somewhere between 3-1/2 years to 7 years of tribulation to endure. Come to Jesus, you can still do so though you may well have to die for your faith now …but... remember the early church. If Jesus is your Lord, henceforth, you are among those we call the “tribulation saints”. You now have the baton, run your race to the end. Hold the line, until death if need be. Your reward in heaven awaits you. We await you.

DO NOT TAKE “THE MARK” (in your forehead or right hand), there will be NO HOPE left for you if you do ...

"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." {Revelation 14:9-11 KJV}

It is my sincere belief that the 6^th seal of the book of Revelation has occurred, the bride of Christ, the watching betrothed of the church, have been taken as promised, see Rev 7:9-17. The 7^th seal is where you are now, Rev 8, which begins the trumpet judgments. You will, at the very least, have to endure 3-1/2 years (1260 days) of tribulation, that being the 1^st half of the final 7-year period before the Lord (with His church) returns to rule & reign for 1000 years.

Endure, seek the Lord to get through this time if at all possible. Look for the two witnesses (in Jerusalem) in Rev 11, they are telling the truth. Share Jesus, even if it costs you your life … remember the first believers in Him, remember all those that spread the gospel (good news of salvation in Jesus) who were martyred for His name's sake. Stay vigilant, watch for your blessed hope …

"Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud [one] sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped." {Revelation 14:12-16 KJV}

NOTE: The "rapture" IS in the bible, but you must understand the languages used: English = "rapture" ...from the... Latin = "rapio" ...and the... Greek = "harpazo". All three words have the same meaning though different languages: "caught up", "catching away", etc, see here 

===> https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G726&t=KJV

 

Don't let ANYONE tell you the rapture didn't happen: it's the 2nd of three harvests, the 1st harvest was in Matthew 27:50-52 KJV; look for the third harvest just before the wrath of God (the bowl/vial judgments of Revelation 15 onward), your blessed hope is in Revelation 14:14-16.

• 1st harvest (Jesus, and the "many") = Mat 27:50-52 KJV
  
• 2nd harvest (the "rapture") = Rev 6:7-19 KJV
• 3rd harvest ("tribulation saints") = Rev 14:14-16 KJV
  

 

In the end, your eternity is in your own hands. 

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." {2 Timothy 2:15 KJV}

DISCLAIMER: If I * disappear * but no one else has ===>as the rapture will be possibly MILLIONS OF BELIEVERS DIS-APPEARING WORLDWIDE ALL AT THE SAME TIME<=== then suspect fowl play. Also, I am NOT suicidal, in spite of my recent loss of my best friend & husband of almost 34 years ... I am eagerly awaiting the appearance of my Lord & Savior, along with my then reunion with my husband and many others that have departed this world before me ... at the rapture. JUST SAYIN'!

05/03/21 ~ What Hebrew date is Shavuot?

After much research in-the-bible, I've come to understand that the Jewish date of Sivan 6 as Shavuot is incorrect. The true date of Shavuot (50th day after the morrow after the Passover) is Sivan 17. Here's that info for your perusal ;o} 

===> Nisan 15, Israel departs Egypt, 430 years "to the day" from when they arrived ...
"Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, [was] four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even >>>the selfsame day<<< it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. It [is] a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this [is] that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations. ... And it came to pass >>>the selfsame day<<<, [that] the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies." {Exodus 12:40-42, 51 KJV}

^^^ THIS is where the Jews' err in their chronology for they only acknowledge 210 years, not the full 430! This error puts them short some 220 years! It's not the year "5781", it's closer to the year 6000 right now!

===> Nisan 15 (con't), the month of Abib (verified by the star Spica/Abib) ...
"And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this [place]: there shall no leavened bread be eaten. >>>This day came ye out in the month Abib<<<." {Exodus 13:3-4 KJV}

===> Sivan 15, Israel arrives at Mt Sinai, three months "to the day" ...
"In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, >>>the same day<<< came they [into] the wilderness of Sinai." {Exodus 19:1 KJV}

===> Sivan 17, on the "third day" after arriving at Mt Sinai ...
"And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, And be ready against the >>>third day<<<: for the >>>third day<<< the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai." {Exodus 19:10-11 KJV}
 
1st day = Sivan 15 (to day)
2nd day = Sivan 16 (to morrow)
3rd day = Sivan 17 (the third day)
 
===> Sivan 17 (con't), Israel meets, and is betrothed to, God, notice the trumpet! ...
"And he said unto the people, Be ready against the >>>third day<<<: come not at [your] wives. And it came to pass on the >>>third day<<< in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the >>>trumpet<<< exceeding loud; so that all the people that [was] in the camp trembled. And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount." {Exodus 19:15-17 KJV}

"And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and >>>the whole mount quaked greatly<<<. And when the voice of the >>>trumpet<<< sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice." {Exodus 19:18-19 KJV}

God gives Israel the 10 commandments, Israel in fear and rightly so!
"And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the >>>trumpet<<<, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw [it], they removed, and stood afar off. And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die." {Exodus 20:18-19 KJV}

===> The true date of Shavuot is Sivan 16-17 (sunset to sunset), NOT Sivan 6. It's worthy to note that Jesus resurrected on the "third day" after His passion (death) on Nisan 16/17 ... three months "to the day", "the self-same day", is Sivan 16/17 ... the day of Pentecost (Shavuot). Do y'all see a pattern here? I sure do!

The first trump(et) would have been when Israel was betrothed to God. I believe we, the church bride, are awaiting something similar that Paul called the "last trump", that we, the betrothed of Christ Jesus (Messiah Yeshuah), are longing to hear ... the day we meet our Bridegroom! Be ready, be wise, make sure your lamps are full of oil, lit, and you have an extra vessel of oil to go the distance.

"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." {1 Corinthians 15:51-52 KJV}

Maranatha to our Bridegroom, come Lord Jesus, come!
