06/23/22 ~ Israel: 70-80 years ... 1948 or 1949?

"The days of our years [are] threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is] their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." {Psalm 90:10 KJV}

May 14, 1948 (5 Iyyar 5708) could NOT have began the count of 70-80 years (Psalm 90:10) BECAUSE the date would have already been PAST for them to be able to declare the beginning of that year, which would have been in April, a month prior. Therefore, the FIRST year they could begin the count would have to have been 1949 - AFTER the war with the Arab/Muslim nations - and AFTER their announcing their state the year prior, which was AFTER the beginning of a new civil year {Exodus 12:2 KJV}.

Biblically, ONCE IN THE LAND (or announcing themselves as a state/nation), God says they were to begin their year in the spring in the month Abib (Aviv - ripe barley) {Exodus 13:4 KJV} so their announcing their state didn't happen until AFTER Passover had already passed on April 23/24, 1948 (14/15 Nisan 5708).

1948/5708 Passover - April 23/24 Shavuot - June 12/13

Also, Israel had announced herself (declared herself a state) during the beginning of the wheat harvest season prior to Shavuot (June 12/13, 1948), not the beginning of the barley harvest near the Passover (April 23/24, 1948). Israel didn't even officially form her first government (Knesset) until the following year, which occurred in late-January of 1949.

Per Wikipedia:
"The Knesset first convened on 14 February 1949 in Tel Aviv following the 20 January elections, replacing the Provisional State Council which acted as Israel's official legislature from its date of independence on 14 May 1948 and succeeding the Assembly of Representatives that had functioned as the Jewish community's representative body during the Mandate era.[20]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knesset
"The 120 members of the first Knesset were elected on 25 January 1949." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_members_of_the_first_Knesset

Israel had a 'provisional state council' ... 'as the Jewish community's representative' ... 'during the mandate era' that first assembled on May 14, 1948 (5 Iyyar 5708). That "provisional state council" was only replaced by the 1st Knesset at its first assembly on February 14, 1949. You can also visit Israel's Knesset website for more history here ... https://main.knesset.gov.il/EN/About/History/Pages/Lobby.aspx

And now on to ... the key:

"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: ..." {Leviticus 23:9-10 KJV} <=== "When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof" ... this is speaking of the Passover and barley harvest, which they couldn't have reaped until after they 'came into the land', or came into full possession thereof, which unofficially (in God's view) happened a month AFTER Passover, on May 14, 1948 - and by then it would be the beginning of the wheat harvest, not the barley harvest - because the next verses are referring to the barley harvest and Passover, not the wheat harvest ...

"And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it." {Leviticus 23:11 KJV} ===> the barley harvest had already passed so they couldn't officially begin the count until the following year in the spring of 1949. By then the war was over and Israel formed and convened its first Knesset (government).

1949/5709 Passover - April 13/14 Shavuot - June 02/03

Wikipedia has the date of the "Arab-Israeli War" as: "15 May 1948 – 10 March 1949 (9 months, 3 weeks and 2 days)". <=== Notice the end date? Notice the duration ... just over 9 months, a late birth! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Arab%E2%80%93Israeli_War

This means that Israel was conceived on May 14, 1948 but she was not birthed until March 10, 1949 when she actually won her statehood by winning the war with the Arab/Muslim nations ... and that was BEFORE the barley harvest and its wave loaf offering was to begin, in other words ... BEFORE Passover ... which in that year was on: April 13/14, 1949 (14/15 Nisan 5709).

And yes, a remnant of Israel has always been in the land and they've been following their pre-calculated Hillel II Babylonian-based calendar ...but... it (the land) was NOT in her control until AFTER the Arab-Israeli War that she won and only then could she establish her government BEFORE the upcoming Passover (April 13/14, 1949 - 14/15 Nisan 5709).

Passover of 1949 (April 13/14, 1949 - 14/15 Nisan 5709) is when the Psalm 90:10 count began ...NOT... May 14, 1948. IF Passover of 1949 is the correct time to start the count, and we add 73 years (7 years shy of the 80th year to give a 7-years allowance for the tribulation period), we get the following:

From Thursday, April 14, 1949
(Nisan 15 would be the anniversary of Jesus' death)
*** Added 73 years
Result: Thursday, April 14, 2022
(Nisan 15 would be the anniversary of Jesus' death)

We have to factor in what Jesus said about 'four months then comes the harvest' ... and he said that at Passover ... 4 months is 120 days if each month had 30 days but some have 29 or you can average each to 29.5 days so 116 - 120 days for all four months and that brings us to August 11/12, 2022 (if going by the full moon, dawn following, as "new moon day"). So then, we add another 4 months ...

"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." -Jesus {John 4:35 KJV}

I wrote a blog post about the "four months" ...
https://thelambswife.blogspot.com/2021/05/052421-four-months-then-harvest.html

From Thursday, April 14, 2022
(Nisan 15 would be the anniversary of Jesus' death)
*** Added 4 months
Result: Sunday, August 14, 2022

To this we could add to the 3rd day for Jesus' resurrection ...

From Sunday, August 14, 2022
*** Added 2 days (3 days in all):
===> 1st day-Aug 14
===> 2nd day-Aug 15
===> 3rd day-Aug 16
Result: Tuesday, August 16, 2022

!!! HOWEVER !!!
There is the question of when is the "new moon" by some of us. I believe Israel's observance of the "crescent moon", rather ...and much worse... their pre-calculated Hillel II Babylonian-based calendar, is incorrect and I believe scripture as well as extra biblical text backs me up on that. In short, I believe the FULL moon is "new moon", or rather - the REnewED moon (full light as in the day of its creation) - is the first day of the month, not the conjunction/dark phase and not the crescent/sliver first sighting phase. Israel has brought her Babylonian moon names to their calendar and is still following that Babylonian-based calendar, not God's calendar.

I wrote my opinion of that subject here ...
https://thelambswife.blogspot.com/2021/08/081221-when-is-new-moon.html

IF we're counting from the 4 months being full moon to full moon (or new moon to new moon being the full moon), then we land at August 14, 2022 for the "harvest", which is the 3rd day from the full moon of August 12th @ 4:35AM IDT. WOW, August 12-14 could be it (the rapture!) ... I can hope, right!?

It's interesting to me that Israel will be celebrating her version of Valentine's Day, called Tu B'Av (15 Av), which is SECOND ONLY TO YOM KIPPUR IN IMPORTANCE, on August 12th this year so it is also a high watch for me! I've written a few blog posts about Tu B'Av, and although the dates have changed, this specific one from 2016 goes into a lengthy explanation of why I feel Tu B'Av is a HIGH WATCH time every year until the Lord's appearing, which I hope is soon ...
https://thelambswife.blogspot.com/2016/07/070816-tu-bav-august-18-2016.html

Israel is the "fig tree", and in Jesus' words, documented by His three witnesses, we see that end-time generation's fulfillment:

"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." {Matthew 24:32-34 KJV}

"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, [even] at the doors. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done." {Mark 13:28-30 KJV}

"And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled." {Luke 21:29-32 KJV}

Whatever day/s are 'watch' and 'high watch' times, I believe we have arrived to the end of the "times of the Gentiles" also known as the "age of grace" (the seven seals of the book of Revelation) and our departure at His appearing as seen in Revelation 7:9-17 is very near. Up next, beginning at Revelation 8:1 is the first half of the 7-year tribulation period - that being the trumpet judgments with the 2nd half of the tribulation period being the bowls/vials judgments - you can't read what's inside (the contents of) a scroll until all the seals are broken, only then can you unroll it and read what is within, I've already written about that here ...

https://thelambswife.blogspot.com/2019/07/072919-revelation-revealed.html

The only thing I have a different view on now (seeing through a glass dimly as we do) from my previous blog articles is that 1949 may be the correct year to begin the count of Psalm 90:10's 70-80 years and not 1948. Either way, we wind up on a high watch around mid-late August 2022.

As I always say, "Here's to hoping for sooner than later!" Are you ready & watching?

"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." -Jesus {Luke 21:36 KJV}

Maranatha Jesus/Yeshuah, our beloved & betrothed Bridegroom, King, and Savior.

03/29/22 ~ Messiah-x4 Passover Sabbatical 5782 ...

link below - click to enlarge

I totally didn't mean to go this deep on Rabbi Glazerson's video ...but... it is what it is! I didn't go as deep as I could have I suppose, but this is deep enough for me to do a blog post with my findings.

PASSOVER - 5782- 2022 - MESSIAH ELIJAH - REPENTANCE IN BIBLE CODE MATITYAHU GLAZERSON
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNx1j3AMu0o

In the screenshot (video link) above, FOUR TIMES we see ...
משיח - Messiah - (the) anointed (One)

AND we also see ...
===> in between the letters of Messiah משיח are letters that form the word אָרַב - arav - to ambush, to lie in wait ; to lurk

Here we see in scripture regarding the Messiah {יְשׁוּעָה היְשׁוּעָה - Yeshuah} ...

"And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them. And they watched [him], and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor." {Luke 20:19-20 KJV}

And then we see this letter (resh) ...
===> רֶ - re- (reorganization, restoration, revision)

After His death, and resurrection, He - the Messiah {יְשׁוּעָה היְשׁוּעָה - Yeshuah} - will restore the kingdom, as He said just before He ascended to the Father in Heaven ...

"When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." {Acts 1:6-11 KJV}

Finally, in that string of letters, we see ...
===> יהוה - YHVH - GOD

Since we see Messiah FOUR TIMES, what does 4 (dalet-ד) mean in Hebrew?
===> ד - 4 - (the) door
"The meaning of dalet is delet, a “door.” It also means dal, a poor person. Finally the word dalet represents dilisoni, which means “to lift me up.”" (read on ...)

https://www.ancient-hebrew.org/ancient-alphabet/dalet.htm
https://hebrew4christians.com/Grammar/Unit_One/Aleph-Bet/Dalet/dalet.html

Messiah {יְשׁוּעָה היְשׁוּעָה - Yeshua, Yeshuah} is the door (to Father GOD) ...
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father." {John 10:1-18 KJV}

"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." {John 14:1-6 KJV}

The torah code also shows the Hebrew year (using numbers for the Hebrew letters) ...
ה-תש-פ-ב - the year 5000-700-80-2 (5782)
5782===> in Strong's Lexicon it means
>> to rouse oneself, awake, awaken, incite
>>>> (Qal) to rouse oneself, awake
>>>> (Niphal) to be roused
>>>> (Polel) to stir up, rouse, incite
>>>> (Hithpolel) to be excited, be triumphant
>>>> (Hiphil)
>>>>>> to rouse, stir up
>>>>>> to act in an aroused manner, awake
https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/h5782/kjv/wlc/0-1/
(there is no Strong's Lexicon for 5782 in Greek)

"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}

The hope of every Christian: the immortal resurrection of the dead in Christ, followed by the immortal change of those living in Christ ... then the rapture (catching up) to meet the Lord משיח יהוה in the air and so shall we every be with the Lord (the Anointed of GOD). Amen. Perhaps ...that will be at...
פסח - Pesach (Passover) ...in... ה-תש-פ-ב 5782 (2022)?

"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}

Oh, I almost forgot! 5782 is, according to rabbinic calculations, a Sabbatical (seventh of 7) year.

The message? ===> The Messiah - the Door, Who was ambushed - will bring restoration (of the Kingdom of) - God - in the Passover - 5782/2022.

Might 5782 (2022) be our Yovel (Jubilee) year of release? All we can do is hope, wait & watch! And, NO, I'm not into *kabbalah* but I am into Hebrew! I believe we can "know in part" ... but the full story, not yet.

As to the reference to Elijah? He has already come, but he will return (with Enoch, I believe) since he has not died yet and two witnesses must appear (about mid-tribulation) and then die. Moses already died, he cannot be the 2nd witness ...
"And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft [clothing] are in kings' houses. But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For this is [he], of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if ye will receive [it], this is Elias, which was for to come. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." {Matthew 11:7-15 KJV, also see Revelation 11.}

And the reference to repentance? REPENT.
"Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." {Mark 1:14-15 KJV}

ISTS - IF Saved, Then Saved (not OSAS).

תא מרנא - Maran-atha {Maranatha} ...
Even so, come (again) Lord Jesus ;o}

08/24/21 ~ When might be the Year 6000?

Source: Google Images

In my chronology blog posts of 2016 & 2018 (links below), I reckoned year 2018 as the 6000th year from creation. Obviously I was wrong since we're still here in 2021 (though I did state back then it may be +/- 3 years since we don't know for sure what Jesus' birth year/date is) ... especially since I believe we cannot end the year 6000 without the resurrection of the dead in Christ to be immediately followed by the rapture of the church (wise virgins of Matthew 25:1-13 KJV). That being said, I'll try to summarize how I figured out we're NOT quite there as of 2018 and how it is that I was wrong by about 3 years (having to do with Jesus' birth year) and/or 7 years (having to do with Adam & Eve's fall into sin). Here we go!

If I'm right about creation year being 3982BC, then 3982BC + 2021AD = 6003 years since creation to this year ...however... we are going by 1AD as the pivotal year and if that should have been -3BC (which is equivalent to -2BC Stellarium, etc) then subtracting those 3 years (using -3BC instead of 1AD) brings us to 6000 years from creation this year. BUT, consider this ...

God would not punish mankind for Adam & Eve's sinless years, which according to the book of Jubilees, chapter 3, they were in the Garden of Eden for 7 full years without sin ... they sinned in the 2nd month of the 8th year from creation.

Jubilees 3:15-35 ===> "And in the first week of the first jubilee, [1-7 A.M.] Adam and his wife were in the garden of Eden for seven years tilling and keeping it, and we gave him work and we instructed him to do everything that is suitable for tillage.
And he tilled (the garden), and was naked and knew it not, and was not ashamed, and he protected the garden from the birds and beasts and cattle, and gathered its fruit, and eat, and put aside the residue for himself and for his wife [and put aside that which was being kept].
And after the completion of the seven years, which he had completed there, seven years exactly, [8 A.M.] and in the second month, on the seventeenth day (of the month), the serpent came and approached the woman, and the serpent said to the woman, 'Hath God commanded you, saying, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?'
And she said to it, 'Of all the fruit of the trees of the garden God hath said unto us, Eat; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden God hath said unto us, Ye shall not eat thereof, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.'
And the serpent said unto the woman, 'Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that on the day ye shall eat thereof, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as gods, and ye will know good and evil.
And the woman saw the tree that it was agreeable and pleasant to the eye, and that its fruit was good for food, and she took thereof and eat.
And when she had first covered her shame with figleaves, she gave thereof to Adam and he eat, and his eyes were opened, and he saw that he was naked.
And he took figleaves and sewed (them) together, and made an apron for himself, and ,covered his shame.
And God cursed the serpent, and was wroth with it for ever . . .
And He was wroth with the woman, because she harkened to the voice of the serpent, and did eat; and He said unto her: 'I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy pains: in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children, and thy return shall be unto thy husband, and he will rule over thee.'
And to Adam also he said, ' Because thou hast harkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat thereof, cursed be the ground for thy sake: thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee, and thou shalt eat thy bread in the sweat of thy face, till thou returnest to the earth from whence thou wast taken; for earth thou art, and unto earth shalt thou return.'
And He made for them coats of skin, and clothed them, and sent them forth from the Garden of Eden.
And on that day on which Adam went forth from the Garden, he offered as a sweet savour an offering, frankincense, galbanum, and stacte, and spices in the morning with the rising of the sun from the day when he covered his shame.
And on that day was closed the mouth of all beasts, and of cattle, and of birds, and of whatever walks, and of whatever moves, so that they could no longer speak: for they had all spoken one with another with one lip and with one tongue.
And He sent out of the Garden of Eden all flesh that was in the Garden of Eden, and all flesh was scattered according to its kinds, and according to its types unto the places which had been created for them.
And to Adam alone did He give (the wherewithal) to cover his shame, of all the beasts and cattle.
On this account, it is prescribed on the heavenly tablets as touching all those who know the judgment of the law, that they should cover their shame, and should not uncover themselves as the Gentiles uncover themselves.
And on the new moon of the fourth month, Adam and his wife went forth from the Garden of Eden, and they dwelt in the land of Elda in the land of their creation.
And Adam called the name of his wife Eve.
And they had no son till the first jubilee, [8 A.M.] and after this he knew her.
Now he tilled the land as he had been instructed in the Garden of Eden." http://www.pseudepigrapha.com/jubilees/3.htm

So, 3982BC and excluding the next 7 years brings us to 3975BC and 3975BC + 2021AD = 5996 years from their fall to this year ...but wait, there's more! 5996 years minus that 3 years (-3BC instead of 1AD) brings us down to 5993 years from their sin to this year. That leaves 7 years from their sin not yet accounted for, and that would be the tribulation period from 2021 to 2028.

So, in short:
3982BC was the year of creation
3975BC was the year of Adam & Eve's fall into sin

3982BC + 2021AD = 6003 years - 3 (BC instead of 1AD) = year 6000 (for 2021). And simultaneously
3975BC + 2021AD = 5996 years - 3 (BC instead of 1AD) = year 5993 (for 2021) + 7 years of tribulation = 6000 years from Adam & Eve's fall into sin to Jesus' second coming (in 2028AD). I hope that makes sense!

And yes, I could still be wrong *again* because we don't have a solid date on Jesus' birth year. I'm trying to figure it all out just like many of you are! I can always fall back on the fact that I'm only human, and that things are only revealed in their appointed time so I work with the information I have at the time of writing these posts. I believe the stated years to be accurate but could be +/- a year because one Jewish year spans parts of two of our Gregorian years. For instance, our current Gregorian year is 2021, the Jewish/Hebrew year right now is 5781 (years from creation), but they roll into 5782 on the evening (sunset) of Sep 6, 2021, which is YOM TERUAH, the day of the TRUMPETING BLASTS (otherwise know as Rosh Hashanna or their New Year on 29 Elul, 5781 - 1 Tishrei, 5782 ... could THIS be THE DAY of the "last trump"?). I know for a fact their years are WRONG by 221-222 years, it's closer to 6000 years from creation, not 5781/5782 years! Just sayin' ...

As I like to say, here's to hoping the rapture is sooner than later!

08/12/21 ~ When is the "New Moon"?

Source: Google Images

This is my belief based on what I understand from scriptures and simple logic, ask questions instead of hanging on to tradition. Things to Ponder:

Q: Why did God create the Sun, Moon ... and Stars?
A: "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so." {Genesis 1:14-15 KJV}

Q: Since He created three witnesses in the heavens - the Sun, Moon, AND Stars, should people be watching only one or two of them to tell celestial time by?
A: No. We need to be telling time by ALL THREE WITNESSES - just like our clocks today, His celestial clock has an hour hand (Sun), a minute hand (Moon), and the seconds hand (Stars) - all three are required to accurately tell time by the heavens.

Q: Does God need man to be a witness of His heavenly clock? If not, why?
A: No. Because He placed His own witnesses in the heavens. At best mankind is an additional witness of His already occurring three witnesses in the heavens.

Q: How has God set His timepiece in the heavens as a triple witness?
A: The Sun, Full Moon and its accompanying Stars are at (or near) the horizon at the same time, though on opposite ends thereof. If one's view of both the East and the West horizons were unobstructed, as in the old days when Israelites would stand atop a high hill, one could see the setting Sun in the West while the Full Moon is rising to "rule the night" with its accompanying Stars in the East. The rising Full Moon greets the setting Sun every month.

Q: Did God create the Moon in full darkness? Or did He create it in full light, that is, fully reflecting the Sun?
A: "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also." {Genesis 1:16 KJV}

Q: Can a dark Moon that isn't seen at all "rule the night"? Or a sliver/crescent Moon? If not, why?
A: No. Because it's not seen at all, or barely so. These are the darkest days of a month. A dark/crescent Moon does not "rule the night"? It can't. The scripture above is referring to the Full Moon.

Q: According to Genesis, God created the Sun as the greater light. He created the Moon as the lesser light. Ask yourselves ... if the Moon represents the bride of Christ then which makes the most sense?
A: The Full Moon (bride) fully reflects the Sun (Son) in her fullness ...because... the dark/crescent moon (at best the foolish virgins) does not reflect the Sun (Son) at all, or barely.

Q: Would David hide in a field until the third day at evening on the darkest night of a month? Or, would he be hiding due to the light of a Full Moon?
A: He said this because the monthly festival of the "new moon" was at hand.
"And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow [is] the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third [day] at even." {1 Samuel 20:5 KJV}

Let's examine that shall we?
Strong's H2320
https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/h2320/kjv/wlc/0-1/
Outline of Biblical Usage [?]
> the new moon, month, monthly
>> the first day of the month
>>> the lunar month
Strong's Number H2320 matches the Hebrew חֹדֶשׁ (ḥōḏeš), which occurs 283 times in 224 verses in the WLC Hebrew. Codesh/Chodesh/Hodesh means "month", it does not indicate whether the Moon was dark, crescent or full ... but because it was a festival for two evenings every month, by implication it was a Full Moon, which was the safest for people to travel to/from ... by the fullest light of the Moon.

So, ask yourselves ...
Q: Would people gather for a festival on the nearly darkest night of a month? Or, would they gather on the night of the brightest, fullest Moon of the month? Would people travel to/from a festival on the darkest evening of the month? Or, would people travel to/from a festival on the brightest, fullest Moon of the month?
A: The brightest, fullest Moon. Think on this, if the crescent moon were the correct night to have their festival then they wouldn't even know when their festival meal nights were until the actual *official sighting* of the first crescent moon!

Q: Why would David hide himself in a field for the darkest nights of the month?
A: He didn't. The Moon was its brightest & fullest of the month, therefore, New Moon day was the FULL Moon and he hid in a field because otherwise he'd be too easily found. He would not have such a fear if the Moon were either dark or crescent.

Psalm 81:3 - translations to consider ...
KJV    Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
NKJV    Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon, At the full moon, on our solemn feast day.
ESV    Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.
NASB    Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.
RSV    Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.
ASV    Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast-day.
AMP    Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.
YLT    Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,
DBY    Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:
WEB    Blow the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
HNV    Blow the shofar at the New Moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.
RHE    Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, on the noted day of your solemnity.
WYC    Blowe ye with a trumpe in Neomenye; in the noble dai of youre solempnite.
JPS    Blow the horn at the new moon, at the full moon for our feast-day. {JPS 81:4}
^^^ This is the "new moon" festival that David was observing, the monthly Full Moon festival.

Q: Why has this monthly festival been lost on Israel to this very day?
A: Because she observes the crescent Moon sighting rather than the rising Full Moon with its accompanying Stars greeting the setting Sun on the horizon every month, the two (or more) great celestial witnesses ignored.

Q: Why would He say that the gates to the city shall remain open on a New Moon?
"Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened." {Ezekiel 46:1 KJV}
A: The "New Moon" was a festival day, and people would be traveling to/from (through the gates) on that day. It is most likely that they would be traveling during a Full Moon, not a dark/crescent moon.

Proverbs 7:20 - translations to consider ...
KJV    For the goodman [is] not at home, he is gone a long journey: He hath taken a bag of money with him, [and] will come home at the day appointed. {Proverbs 7:19-20 KJV}
NIV    He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon.
ESV    he took a bag of money with him; at full moon he will come home.
CSB    He took a bag of silver with him and will come home at the time of the full moon.
NASB    He has taken a bag of money [fn]with him. At the full moon he will come home.
RSV    he took a bag of money with him; at full moon he will come home.
ASV    He hath taken a bag of money with him; He will come home at the full moon.
AMP    He has taken a bag of money with him, And he will come home on the appointed day.
YLT    A bag of money he hath taken in his hand, At the day of the new moon he cometh to his house.
DBY    he hath taken the money-bag with him, he will come home on the day of the full moon.
WEB    He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
HNV    He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.
RHE    He took with him a bag of money: he will return home the day of the full moon.
WYC    He took with hym a bagge of money; he schal turne ayen in to his hous in the dai of ful moone.
JPS    He hath taken the bag of money with him; he will come home at the full moon.
^^^ Notice these are all either Full Moon, or our Solemn Day, or the Appointed Day ... Day Appointed. The day appointed that is their solemn feast/festival days for the Full Moon, NOT the dark (conjunct) nor the crescent moon. Logic should prevail here ===> WHEN is it safest to travel if doing so at night? The Full Moon.

Q: Did you know that Jesus refers to Proverbs 7:19-20 speaking of Himself in the Parable of the Landowner / Vine-grower?
A: Matthew 21:33-46, Mark 12:1-12, Luke 20:9-19
^^^ He (Jesus) went into a "far country" (the world) for a "long time", that being the "times of the Gentiles", to obtain for Himself a kingdom (bride).

James also understood ...
"Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain." {James 5:7 KJV}

Q: Did you know that when Jesus told the Parable of the Talents that He was speaking of Himself, a man taking a long journey?
A: Matthew 25:14-30, Mark 13:35-37, Luke 19:11–27

Q: Did you know that the setting Sun is on or near the horizon at the same time as the rising Full Moon & its accompanying Stars ... every month?
A: These are the heavenly two (or more) witnesses; not a singular dark/crescent moon for which Israel had to have "two witnesses" - you should read their ancient writings about what trouble this was to the governing persons of that time.

Q: When did God retract or abolish these statements?
"Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; [it is] iniquity, even the solemn meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear [them]. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow." {Isaiah 1:13-17 KJV}
...OR...
"I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts." {Hosea 2:11 KJV}
A: He didn't. Read the whole chapter, still true, thus, and sadly, Jacob's trouble is coming.

BTW, I can only find three instances of the word "crescent" and that's in the following ...
"Strong's Number H7720 matches the Hebrew שַׂהֲרֹנִים (śahărōnîm), which occurs 3 times in 3 verses in the WLC Hebrew." Strong's H7720 https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/h7720/nasb95/wlc/0-1/

"Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Rise up yourself, and fall on us; for as the man, so is his strength." So Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescent[H7720] ornaments[H7720] which were on their camels' necks." ... "The weight of the gold earrings that he requested was 1,700 [shekels] of gold, besides the crescent[H7720] ornaments[H7720] and the pendants and the purple robes which [were] on the kings of Midian, and besides the neck bands that [were] on their camels' necks." {Judges 8:21, 26 NASB95}

"In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of [their] anklets, headbands, crescent[H7720] ornaments,[H7720] ..." {Isaiah 3:18 NASB95}

You can look at various other translations here ...

https://www.blueletterbible.org/nasb95/isa/3/18/p0/t_bibles_682018

Q: What were the "crescent ornaments" (jewelry) a symbol of? Why would the Lord take these away?
A: Read the whole chapter of Isaiah 3.

Q: Did you know that the exodus occurred on the evening of a Full Moon? And that the Lord said that that would be the beginning of months for Israel? Would the Lord lead Israel out of Egypt on the darkest night of the month?
A: To this day Israel observes Passover on the eve of a Full Moon. Jesus died on a Full Moon (April 6, 30AD).

"This month [shall be] unto you the beginning of months: it [shall be] the first month of the year to you. ... For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I [am] the LORD. ... And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that [was] in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for [there was] not a house where [there was] not one dead. And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, [and] get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said. Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We [be] all dead [men]. ... 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. ... 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 12:2, 12, 29-33, 40-41, 51 KJV, read the whole chapter}

So then, the next question is ...
Q: What day, 430 years prior, did Israel (Jacob & clan) enter Egypt?
A: Abib/Nisan 15, a Full Moon.

"This month [shall be] unto you the beginning of months: it [shall be] the first month of the year to you." {Exodus 12:2 KJV}

1st Month (Abib/Aviv) - "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}
^^^ "This day" was the FIRST DAY of Israel's first month, to the day, when she departs out of Egypt (aka: Abib/Nisan 15).

2nd Month (Iyar/Iyyar) - "And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which [is] between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt." {Exodus 16:1 KJV}
^^^ 2nd month, to the day, Israel arrived at the wilderness of Sin on yet another Full Moon day of Iyyar 15.

3rd Month (Sivan) - "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. ... 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 12:41, 51 KJV}
^^^ 3rd month, to the day, Israel arrived at Mt Sinai on Sivan 15 (their date is Sivan 6, a dark moon on their Hillel II pre-calculated calendar), but truly yet another Full Moon.

The 14th to 15th day of the month is the Full Moon, not the crescent moon. To this day, both Passover & Tu B'Av are celebrated on Full Moon days. Shavuot is celebrated on a dark moon but you can clearly see in scripture that Israel arrived at Mt Sinai on the "selfsame day" that they left (Nisan 15) Egypt, so the correct date (in the third month) of Shavuot should be Sivan 15 (not Sivan 6 as they observe). Three days later Israel met her Betrothed on Sivan 17-18 ... which exactly mirrors Passover and Jesus' death on April 6, 30AD (Nisan 15), which was a Full Moon, to His resurrection three days later on April 9, 30AD (Nisan 17-18). I am NOT disputing the dates such as Nisan/Abib 14, 15, etc ... I am disputing whether those dates fall on a dark/crescent moon or a Full Moon and obviously they are a Full Moon. I believe the naming/numbering still follows those by whom she was captive and don't correctly reflect the true new moon, which is the Full Moon.

Israel could NOT have left Egypt on the "first day" of the "first month" (dark/crescent moon), likewise, Israel did NOT arrive at Mt Sinai on the "first day" of the "third month" as some rabbinic teaching says, we clearly see the dates in scripture as the 15th day. The 15th day is a Full Moon. https://www.sefaria.org/search?q=day%20month%20left%20Egypt&tab=sheet&tvar=1&tsort=relevance&svar=1&ssort=relevance

Sefaria search for "full moon" https://www.sefaria.org/search?q=%22full%20moon%22&tab=text&tvar=1&tsort=relevance&svar=1&ssort=relevance

BTW, based on scripture, I believe Shavuot is indeed a 50th day count from Passover. However, Jesus also said the following at the time of Passover ... "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} ... if the true Passover on a Full Moon should have been April 26, 2021 (not March 27, 2021 as Israel incorrectly observed) then four Jewish months from that date brings us to the Full Moon of August 22, 2021.

From Monday, April 26, 2021 Passover, Full Moon
Added 118 days <=== by the Jews' calendar
(Nisan 30, Iyyar 29, Sivan 30, Tamuz 29 = 118 days)
(4 months then cometh the harvest, John 4:35)
Passover -to- Shavuot/Pentecost/Tu B'Av
Result: Sunday, August 22, 2021 Shavuot/Pentecost/Tu B'Av, Full Moon

How do I reconcile that Israel observes the "New Moon" as the sighting of the first crescent rather than a Full Moon? I believe that in David's day the Full Moon was indeed the New Moon, but sometime thereafter, likely during one of their extended captivities & exiles, possibly as late as the Roman empire, they lost the truth and believed a lie from a kingdom in which they were captive under, and still do to this day. Just because something is observed by tradition doesn't make it right. ALL answers are in His word. And these passages, although not "cannon", do support scripture quoted above {Isaiah 1:13-17 KJV & Hosea 2:11 KJV} - I think this portion of the book of Jubilees, chapter 6, sums it up ...

"But if they do neglect and do not observe them according to His commandment, then they will disturb all their seasons and the years will be dislodged from this (order), [and they will disturb the seasons and the years will be dislodged] and they will neglect their ordinances.
And all the children of Israel will forget and will not find the path of the years, and will forget the new moons, and seasons, and sabbaths and they will go wrong as to all the order of the years.
For I know and from henceforth will I declare it unto thee, and it is not of my own devising; for the book (lies) written before me, and on the heavenly tablets the division of days is ordained, lest they forget the feasts of the covenant and walk according to the feasts of the Gentiles after their error and after their ignorance.
For there will be those who will assuredly make observations of the moon -how (it) disturbs the seasons and comes in from year to year ten days too soon.
For this reason the years will come upon them when they will disturb (the order), and make an abominable (day) the day of testimony, and an unclean day a feast day, and they will confound all the days, the holy with the unclean, and the unclean day with the holy; for they will go wrong as to the months and sabbaths and feasts and jubilees." {Jubilees 6:33-37} http://www.pseudepigrapha.com/jubilees/6.htm

IMHO: The Full Moon -IS- the true "New Moon". It was also a Full Moon on the day Jesus died (April 6, 30AD @ 3PM Israel time) for His bride, the church, and I believe it will be the day He appears for her at the rapture ... perhaps that day is August 22, 2021.

What's happening on August 22, 2021? The *possible* day (August 22, 2021) and hour (3:01PM, Israel time).

*** The last potential 2021 date for Shavuot/Pentecost, in the fifth month - which is four months from the true Full Moon Passover of April 26, 2021!

*** The last possible date of Tu B'Av - which according to Jewish tradition as written by Gamliel (Gamaliel, Paul's teacher) is second only to Yom Kippur in importance!

*** It will be a "Blue Moon" - being the 3rd Full Moon in a season (summer).

*** This month's moon name themes are fish & harvesting - reminiscent of the two miracles (fish/loaves) Jesus did, eh!? But hey, how's about that "Flying Up" moon!? WOW!
From The Old Farmer's Almanac site:
• Sturgeon <=== fish
• Black Cherries <=== harvest
• Corn <=== Wheat is also called Corn in the bible
• Flying Up <=== 0.o
• Harvest <=== self explanatory!
• Mountain Shadows <=== meeting at Mt Sinai?
• Ricing <=== harvest
In addition, Time and Date site has the following:
• Barley <=== harvest
• Fruit <=== harvest
• Grain <=== harvest
(but they have the Harvest moon in Sep or Oct)

*** Interestingly, the Jews are now on their sixth month called Elul (look it up on Chabad), when (according to their rabbinic writings) ===> "the King is in the fields" <=== and the English word "Elul" is an acronym for the Hebrew words in Song of Songs (see chapters 5-7) ... "אני לדודי ודודי לי, “I am for my beloved and my beloved is for me,”" Is the King inspecting the fields looking for those ripe to harvest (rapture)? ;o}

*** More on my previous blog post here ===> https://thelambswife.blogspot.com/2021/07/071421-august-22-2021-rapture.html

To the bride (Full Moon) ... are you fully reflecting the light of the Son (Sun)? Are you ready for His appearing? We don't know for sure when exactly that will be, but I believe I may have discovered some good math on this date. Here's to hoping our redemption is sooner than later!

Maranatha to our King & Bridegroom!

07/23/21 ~ Are we there yet?

Source - Google Images

Why do many end-time *watchers*, including me, believe that we're near the time of the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the rapture of the saints to meet the Lord in the air (the end of the "times of the Gentiles")? Simple. The math!

Psalm 90:10 declares that a generation is between 70-80 years. Israel, the "fig tree", became an independent state (nation) on May 14, 1948, and even she knows she is the biblical "fig tree" (based on OT scriptures).

The math: 1948+80 years (the max for a generation) = 2028-7 years (tribulation period) = 2021 <=== THIS is why we believe that we have arrived at the time of our redemption ...

"The days of our years [are] threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is] their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." {Psalm 90:10 KJV - a "score" is twenty years: so "threescore" being 3x20 = 60 years + ten = 70 years; "fourscore" being 4x20 = 80 years}

Jesus' three biblical witnesses of His prophecy of the "fig tree" ...

"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." {Matthew 24:32-34 KJV}

"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, [even] at the doors. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done." {Mark 13:28-30 KJV}

"And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled." {Luke 21:29-32 KJV}

We are that final generation. Jesus' words about Israel, still true ...

"And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." {Luke 21:24 KJV}

Paul's words, read the whole chapter {"the fall of them" being Israel} ...

"Now if the fall of them [be] the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? ... For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in." {Romans 11:12, 25 KJV}

What is the "fulness of the Gentiles", elsewhere called the "times of the Gentiles"? It's these past 1991 +/- years, since the death of the Testator (Jesus, who died April 6, 30AD & resurrected April 9, 30AD) until now (2021), which also includes Israel's becoming a sovereign nation 73 years ago (2021-1948), which is exactly 7 years (tribulation period) shy of a full 80 years!

"How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth." {Hebrews 9:14-17 KJV}

Jesus explains these "times of the Gentiles" as a Nobleman (Himself) being in a far country (the world) to receive a kingdom (bride). In other words, from the time of His death/resurrection until now, He's been out in the field (the world) gathering a kingdom (elsewhere called a bride) for Himself and he will come home at a full moon ...

"He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return." {Luke 19:12 KJV}

More on that timing in an upcoming article - hint: when is the New Moon?

And yes, IF the years 2021-2022 pass and we're still here then we've figured a generation wrong using the wrong scripture. I will continue to watch all the same. The signs are all around us, it can't be much longer in terms of years. Keep looking up, keep watching!

A BLB search link about the "fig tree", you can do your own research on this being Israel ...
https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/search.cfm?Criteria=%22fig+tree%22&t=KJV#s=s_primary_0_1

07/14/21 ~ August 22, 2021 ?Rapture?

What's so special about ... August 22, 2021? Maybe nothin', maybe somethin'. How's about a *guess* at the rapture, date watchers!? Look ... IF 2021 is the year of the rapture then this math works wonders! All dates could vary +/- a day depending on one's location in the world. Click images to enlarge ;o}

SUNDAY, August 22, 2021 Shavuot/Pentecost/Tu B'Av
===> Shavuot/Pentecost according to Mikal Shabbat's sun, moon & stars data (look him up on Youtube)
===> Full Blue Moon, 3rd full moon in a season
===> Tu B'Av - if Israel should have started their year (Nisan)
-after- the spring equinox (in April, not March)
===> Four months from the true Passover (April 25/26, 2021) to the harvest (rapture, August 22, 2021?)

Jerusalem: Full Blue Moon on August 22, 2021 @ 3:01 PM their time ... the *same* time of day that Jesus died on that blessed Passover on April 6, 30 AD (also a full moon)! Coincidence? I think not! There's no such thing as the word *coincidence* in Hebrew, or so I hear.

August Full Moon Names: Sturgeon Moon, Green Corn Moon, Barley Moon, Fruit Moon, and Grain Moon (fish and loaves anyone? harvesting!)

TRUE Passover, Nisan 14 = SUNDAY, April 25, 2021 = 120 days
or "four months" to August 22, 2021 Shavuot/Pentecost/Tu B'Av!
What's the likelihood that these dates also line up!?
"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." -Jesus {John 4:35 KJV}
===> April 25/26 was the 1st of two SUPERMOONS
(May was the 2nd SUPERMOON)
===> April 25/26 was Israel's Sheni Pesach (2nd Passover)

The math: 2595 days of tribulation (NOT 2520, NOT 2550)
1260 + 1335 (1290+45) = 2595 days (tribulation period)
===> August 22, 2021 Shavuot/Pentecost/Tu B'Av
adding 2595 days equals
===> September 29, 2028 Erev (Eve of) Yom Kippur
Is September 29, 2028 the day we return to earth with the Bridegroom?
Yom Kippur (Tishri 10) may also be the day the Jubilee begins!

HebCal Sep 29/30, 2028 ...

BTW, Tu B'Av is 2nd only to Yom Kippur in importance! But, so so so much more, do your homework on ... Tu B'Av (15th of Av), you can search this blog for more info, here's that link https://thelambswife.blogspot.com/search?q=Tu+B%27Av ;o}

Israel will celebrate Tu B'Av a month too early (July 24, instead of August 22)
Is August 22, 2021 the day of the rapture? <=== Watching!

August 22, 2021 @ 3PM (Jerusalem) the Sun is kissing Regulus in Leo, and the Full Moon (along with Jupiter) is in Aquarius ... as seen from my Stellarium ;o}

What does it mean? I'm not sure. Am I saying this is the date of the rapture? Nope! But it's certainly a high watch day for me IF we're still here. I'm always hoping for sooner than later tho!

I'm so ready to go ... Abba up!!!

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}

vvv - investigating the *meaning* of "four" ...

"four"
Strong's H702 - 'arbaʿ
https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H702&t=KJV
The KJV translates Strong's H702 in the following manner: four (265x), fourteen (with H6240) (19x), fourteenth (with H6240) (23x), fourth (5x), forty (2x), three score and fourteen (with H7657) (2x).

vvv - which can also mean "fourteen" ...

"fourteen"

https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/search.cfm?Criteria=%22three+score+and+fourteen%22+H7657+H702&t=KJV#s=s_primary_0_1
KJV Strong's H7657 matches the Hebrew שִׁבְעִים (šiḇʿîm). <=== "seventy" = 70 (+ 4)
KJV Strong's H702 matches the Hebrew אַרְבַּע ('arbaʿ).
"three score and fourteen" AND "H7657" AND "H702" <=== "sixty and fourteen" = 74
occurs times in 0 verses in the KJV.
There are no concordance results for "three score and fourteen" AND "H7657" AND "H702" in the KJV.

vvv - which leads me to investigate H7657 "seventy" & "threescore and" fourteen (60+14) ...

"threescore and" = 60 + (10 + 4 = fourteen) = 60 + 10 + 4 = 74
"threescore and ten" = 70 + 4 = 74
"three score and fourteen" = 60 + 14 = 74

https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H7657&t=KJV
The KJV translates Strong's H7657 in the following manner: seventy (58x), three score and (ten, twelve, etc...) (33x).

I.    seventy
Strong’s Definitions [?](Strong’s Definitions Legend)
שִׁבְעִים shibʻîym, shib-eem'; multiple of H7651; seventy:—seventy, threescore and ten (+ -teen).

vvv - doing the math, with potentially related scriptures ...

60+14=74   <=== "threescore and fourteen" (60 + 14 = 74)
7x70=490   <=== Matthew 18:21-22 KJV
490x4=1960   <=== John 4:35 KJV
+30=1990    <=== Jesus died/resurrected in 30AD
2021-30=1991   <=== 2021AD - 30AD = 1991 years, Israel begins her 74h year
70+4=74   <=== Israel began her 74th year on May 15, 2021
{her 73rd year ended on May 14, 2021}

"Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven." (490) {Matthew 18:21-22 KJV}

"Say not ye, There are yet four months,[G5072] 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}

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}

{I have <REDACTED> a couple of places in the above letter as they do not apply to you, the internet reader.}

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!
