The Feat of Trumpets

The Feast of Trumpets
The seventh biblical month begins on October 12; after sundown is when Elohim said to celebrate the Feast of Trumpets.
Lev 23:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Lev 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
Lev 23:25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
We need to understand the purpose of celestial the bodies, The Sun the Moon and the stars because we want to be in the right place at the right time according to his instructions. We must identify properly the way Elohim told us to see the Days, and nights and to show us signs and seasons and years. In America we follow the Gregorian (Pope Gregory) calendar which breaks from the Biblical method that Elohim put in his design.
Gen 1:14 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:
Gen 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Gen 1:16 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.
Gen 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Gen 1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

The biblical day begins in the evening after sundown with that full day being complete at sundown the next day.
A proof of the biblical day beginning in the evening beyond Genesis 1:19 can be observed when they were rushing to bury Christ. The Sabbath was about to begin in the evening and they rushed his burial so that they would not be guilty of working on the Sabbath.
Luk 23:50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:
Luk 23:51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
Luk 23:52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
Luk 23:53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
Luk 23:54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
Luk 23:55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
Luk 23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

Psalm 104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
In the Hebrew calendar all months are 30 days according to the book of Enoch.
And on the first day as the thirtieth day closes she (the moon) becomes visible. Note that she is very hard to see because she is near the sun but in the evening as the sun goes down you can see her sliver of light in the west.
Enoch Chapter 73 verse 4 and 5.
4. And thus she rises. And her first phase in the east comes forth on the thirtieth morning: and on that day she becomes visible, and constitutes for you the first phase of the moon on the thirtieth day together with the sun in the portal where the sun rises.
5. And the one half of her goes forth by a seventh part, and her whole circumference is empty, without light, with the exception of one-seventh part of it, (and) the 6 fourteenth part of her light.

The mid month full moon happens on the 14th day
Enoch chapter 78 verses 6-7
6. And when the Moon rises, it appears in the sky, and has a half of a seventh part of light, and on the fourteenth day it makes all its light full.
7. And fifteen parts of light are transferred to it, until on the fifteenth day its light is full, according to the sign of the year, and amounts to fifteen parts. And the Moon comes into being by halves of a seventh part.

Note: verse 12 doubles down, declaring the first day of the month with the sliver of light rising on the moon.
12. And on the first day it is called the New Moon, for on that, daylight rises on it.

Note: verse 14 shows that the last day of the biblical month is when there is no light from the moon.
14. And on the side on which the light of the Moon appears, there again it wanes, until all its light disappears, and the days of the Moon end and its disc remains empty without light.
The feast of Trumpets
Lev 23:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Lev 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
Lev 23:25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

The Great Tribulation

Dispensational Christianity has been given a false idea about their immunity from the Great Tribulation by adding "the Pre-Tribulation Rapture" to scripture. Is a person "saved" by enduring until the end of the great tribulation that Christ spoke of in Mathew Chapter 24? I was taught to believe that a person that was "left behind" after the Rapture event had to have never heard the message of salvation and had to endure to the end of the 7 year tribulation period to be saved. AS a student of scripture I have come to understand that a person enduring to the end to be "saved" goes against everything we know about Christ and consistent salvation through his name. When we consider that a person could be saved by their own endurance in the tribulation period then they do not need the saving grace of God as a standalone finished work. Their endurance is added to grace and they can boast of their endurance. Doesn't this interpretation make a Tribulation Saints' endurance a "work of righteousness" that participates in aiding with Christ's perfect sacrifice? By this definition, they (Those left behind) just need a good place to hide... and some physical endurance for the hardships of the great tribulation with the hope that embracing the Gospel of the Kingdom will keep them safe. "Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. " I know the Pre-Tribulation Rapture message, and used to preach it myself. I challenge the dispensational view point thinking it misinterprets Mathew 24's "enduring to the end" statement and creates a justification for understand what happens to nonbelievers that have never heard the gospel during the grace period. The belief is that nonbelievers and those that haven't heard the gospel are left behind after the pre-tribulation rapture event and they must endure to the end of the seven year tribulation period to be saved under a completely different gospel called, "The Gospel of the Kingdom." This word "saved" in verse 13 is not referring to salvation like being born again spoken of in John chapter 3. It is being used the same way that the word saved is used in "1Timothy 2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety." This verse, when taken out of context, implies that a woman must give birth and then continue in faith etc to be saved. If the verse meant that a woman must give birth to be "saved" then that would blaspheme the message of Christ and would make an alternate and earnable way to heaven for women. In both cases the word 'saved' is not talking about being "saved by grace to go to heaven." Its translation is a common word that is used to mean "safe." Both times it is talking about a continuous life here on Earth in a safe way and not talking about eternal salvation during the specified time. Here is Strongs' translation: Saved σώζω sōzō sode'-zo From a primary word σῶς sōs̄ (contraction for the obsolete σάος saos, "safe"); to save, that is, deliver or protect (literally or figuratively): - heal, preserve, save (self), do well, be (make) whole. If we reference the days of Noah in Mathews 24:39-42 prophesy we see that "one will be taken and another left" (note: Dispensational Christianity adds the word "behind" right here) but are not "taken" until well after Christ spoke of enduring until the end within the stories chronological order. I strongly note that the word "behind" is NOT PART OF THE STORY. When added it changes the meaning to imply a further period will continue. "Mat 24:39-42 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. " When Noah was here he made a boat (Genesis Chpater 6, The book of Jasher, The book of Enoch). Some were taken in the boat and many were left. No one disappeared in thin air in the days of Noah BEFORE THE FLOOD and just as in the days of Noah, (NO ONE WILL DISAPEAR BEFORE THE GREAT TRIBULATION). Just as verse 39 happened, first "the flood came, and took them all away," "THEN," shall verse 40-41, "then, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." The context proves that the tribulation comes before the return of Christ and that the idea of the "Pre-Trib-Rapture" is not supported in this context. The only ones on the ark were the ones that had not corrupted themselves with the mixtures of man and beasts and species of the world. The only ones taken are those sheep that hear his voice and follow him. The only animals taken were the ones that had Gods breath of life in them. Noah endured to the end in the safety of Gods protection on Earth just as the few remaining believers of Christ's Church must endure life on Earth trusting in God for their safety, food and continuous life during the "flood comparison" of the great tribulation spoken of in Mathew 24. Being "taken" or raptured, is the harvest where the wheat is separated from the chaff (in the wind). It does not say that those that are "left" must endure to the end because he is declaring that the end (verse 3) being referenced is happening at the point where he returns. (verse 42) Those that are "left" face the fire of destruction just as the chaff is burned. "There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Isa_29:5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly. Mat_3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. "Mat 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." When Christ returns, he is not coming to take the western culture church body; he is coming for his bride that he went to prepare a place for as promised. His bride is and always has been Israel that Jesus came to when he came to his own and his own did not receive him. Those that are saved by grace that are not of Israeli blood line are grafted into that bride. Those grafted in that are not of Israeli decent are grafted in to Israel do not take the place of Israel, by becoming Christ's new and separate bride. They are grafted into the same or original bride and become part of her as one body or one kind. The following verses are used by many churches to support the end of the grace periods' "rapture" event. With that said, I sugest you go through each verse to reveal and comment on the context to see what the actual context is about. My questions for each verse are as follows: 1. Does the pre-trib-rapture event that the main stream church believes in give the church immunity from the tribulation period spoken of in Mathew Chapter 24? 2. Is this verse talking about a pre-trib-rapture event, the second coming or something else? 2 cor 5:10 John 14:3 Luke 10:20 Mark 13:32 Rev 3:10 Mat 24:30-31 Phil 3:20-21 Rom 8:18-19 Acts 1:7-8 Daniel 12:1-2 1Cor 15:51-53 1Thes 4:16-18 Luke17:34-37 Mark 13:24-27 Rev 20:2-5 Rev 11:15-19

The Serpent and the Syringe

790591309_10239330631997075_6200177965300818288_n.jpg
We are about to face an endless bombardment of Media fear mongering over viruses like measles and the China originated viral infectious disease (COVID), the flu and even the common cold. So some may find themselves asking, “Why does a loving God allow this kind of suffering in the world?” There is a bible verse that is famously used to simplify understanding of complete salvation all in one tiny package. That verse is John3:16
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Many believers read this verse and find relief understanding that with God there is a promise of eternal life for the believer. But there is a verse that comes before it that is completely ignored by most believers. That verse is John 3:14
Joh 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Most people that know John 3:16 do not ever question WHY Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness. Soon you will see that, This LOVING GOD put our understanding right where it belongs.
In the story, the people of Israel were delivered from Egypt, crossed the Sea on dry ground with a wall of water on either side of them as they passed through the middle. These same people were in the wilderness a short time after that and they began to complain about the food and God’s provisions. They began to say that they wanted to return to Egypt for food and stability. This attitude of Heart caused God to become angry with them. So God made snakes bite the people. Many died. The people cried out to Moses. Moses pleaded with God on behalf of a complaining and ungrateful Israel. God told Moses to fabricate a snake out of bronze, replicating a dead snake. He told him to put it on a pole and lift it up so that the people of Israel could see it. God told Moses that if these ungrateful people were bitten, they should look to Moses as he held up the pole with a snake. Why Bronze? Why not a real snake? I believe it was because a real snake would decay, and it was going to take a while before the people would fully repent from wanting to go back.
Do you understand what took place here? It was God that sent the snakes. It is God that sends the plagues, and the people today have no fear of God before their eyes. They get sick and hold God in contempt because they desire to go back to when they were feeling well, not realizing that their earlier state of wellness was actually a loving God's mercy as he is leading you on a path to deliverance. You keep wanting to return to your sinful life where you felt safe, and you do so just like a dog returns to its vomit.
We should also note that a snake bite affects the bloodstream. The world offers a solution to illness that is administered just like a snake bite.
I would rather look to the Son being lifted up.
John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
