May I suggest the following with respect to the Genesis passage we have been discussing: 1. God spoke to Abraham, prophesying to him that his descendants, the Israelites would be in Egypt for 400~ years (they actually spent 430 - not all of it as slaves - Ex 12:40). 2. The entire book of Exodus is related to the prophecy: The Israelites enslaved (Gen 15:13); the plagues visited upon Egypt when the Pharaoh would not free them, the creation of the Passover feast and their 'exodus' with all their wealth (vs 14); and also the peaceful death of Abraham in the latter part of Genesis (vs 15). 3. In Verse 16, God says that the 4th generation of Abraham's descendants will return 'here', where 'here' is the place where the Abraham is currently (in the scene) talking with God. The translational wording in this part, related to 4 generations, is a bit clumsy as you will see below. By inference, the land of the Amorites is where Abraham is located at the time of the prophecy. In verse 18 we see the land grant given to Abraham by God: from the wadi of Egypt to the river Euphrates (not Jordan River!). Verse 19 describes the groups of people who live in the land, including the Amorites. 4. It appears that the 4 generations referred to by God in Gen 15:16 are those generations which were enslaved (4 x 80 biblical years = 320 years) We know that Jacob lived to be 147 and came to Egypt when he was 130, living in Egypt 17 years before he died: Gen 47:28We know that Joseph was 39 years old when his father and family (the entire population of the Israelites) came to Egypt (there were a total of 14 years in Pharaoh's dream he interpreted - 7 of abundance and 7 of famine). 30 y/o +7 abundant years + 2 famine years = 39 Gen 45:11Gen 41:46We know that Joseph lived to be 110: Genesis 50:22Therefore, since Joseph was 39 when his family came to Egypt; and he lived to be 110, the Israelites were living in Egypt 71 years before they were enslaved for 4 generations (inferred mathematically). If a generation of 80 biblical years is used, 4 x 80 = 320 years. 320 (4 generations) + 71 = 391 years. Assuming the 'clock' started when Joseph was 39; there is a 39 year discrepancy which can be explained by discounting any 'partial generations' (less than 80 years) from the 4 generation count; so that the Israelites spent 430 actual years, but only 4 'full' generations in Egypt. The two partial generations (at the beginning, and at the end) are 'rounded down', since they are both 39, which is less than half of a full generation (80). The 5th generation would be aged 0-39. Thank you Yardstick for this information. Clearly, some of the fourth generation returned. I will take a close look at this when I have time to do so. |

Actually, they died in the wilderness where the Israelites wandered for 40 years before entering the promised land. So I would be surprised if any of the 4th generation lived to see the promised land. I may have to correct myself here: In vs 16, God says they will come back 'here'. So 'here' may have been the place where God told the Israelites to pitch their tents while they were to scout out the promised land before entering. Of course, we know the story that they were afraid to enter, so God made them wander the wilderness for 40 years. I would not be surprised if the majority of the people who gave Moses grief during that time were the 40+ year olds (4th generation). |

Witness1 - I don't think you would have asked that question if you would have started reading at page 32 of my article and you would have read this... "11. OUR LOVING CONCEALING, SOVEREIGN AND OMNISCIENT GOD KNEW WHAT DATE WOULD OCCUR AFTER THE COUNT FROM THE END OF THE SECOND GREAT RESURRECTION SIGN of September 23, 2017 and may have given us hints. This is not the way that I usually do Bible study, but this watching for the day of the rapture, then finding a substantial clue in the Leviticus 23:15 & 16 count allows me to study ideas that I would not normally deal with. Leads me to even suggest this. We are at the end. Not the end of the Bible. We will enjoy that forever. We continue here seeking God’s Word. We have an omniscient, omnipotent God who reigns over everything with His sovereignty. INCLUDING the division of His Word. I wish I had years to preach on these verses. However, this particular article has a very severe “half-life”. It is either true and we are out of here at the end of THIS MONTH, OR, my conclusion is incorrect and it, and I will fade away. Hah, I just realized I am going away one way or the other. I don’t know what you think you will be doing in the Kingdom. I want to continue to teach. So Lord, if you are liking this article, “May I preach about those verses in the kingdom?” Amen." Thank you for these verses! You're right that I haven't made it through your revised article yet. So much to learn and so little time! These are certainly interesting, as are Prov 25:2 and Jer 33:3 shared by krnboitaeSince, like you say, that this is not the way to typically do a Bible study... what I want to do is show from Exodus that there is precedent to count the extra 50 days. This is in no way to discount the verses you have shown but rather to give strength to your argument. I think you will be pleased with what I think I have found, and I look forward to sharing it soon. I love that we will enjoy the Bible forever! There are so many books I look forward to studying in the Millennial Kingdom. As far as what I think I will be doing in the Kingdom, one of them is healing the nations with homeopathy. I recently discovered this amazing energy medicine made from all kinds of plants and elements and all sorts of things in God's creation. It has CURED my daughter and husband's ADD! My house is a radically different place from this time last year... there is peace (and safety LOL)! I studied this medicine extensively before being awakened to the Great Sign, and I had planned to open a Christian health center one day before I realized how short our time really is. This verse jumped out at me: "Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." Rev 22:1-2 I am wondering whether these leaves will be used for homeopathic medicine... I would love to take part in that! Looking forward to sharing my Exodus discovery soon! |

witness1, not to rabbit trail this thread, but I think there is something to getting back to the original essential oils directly from the plants that God created. So I understand your experience here..

I love to hear your thoughts on and your desires to be of service during the Millenium. The desire to use the plants that God has given us is exactly what we should have been doing all along. I agree. The idea warms my heart that there would be those, now a part of the incorruptible Church, who could be in ministry to assist those who survive the tribulation and those born after. I think that is a wonderful aspiration. And then as you are treating them you can ask, "Did you ever hear of God's Great Sign." You will be able to tell of God's plan for the ages while you heal them with your God given knowledge of what He has caused to grow and how that particular plant can heal. I don't think medicine during the Millennium will involve a lot of hospitals, doctors, and hopefully WHAT WILL BE ABSOLUTELY GONE, WITHOUT A TRACE, NO SIGN OF IT ANYWHERE, TOTALLY MISSING AND NOT LONGED FOR....IS BIG PHARMA! BIG PHARMA IS KILLING PEOPLE NOW! IT IS ALL PART OF THE LUCIFERIAN ELITE DESIRE TO CONTROL AND DESTROY. The opiod crisis is another sign we are at the end. People do crazy things, like pretend to be a cop, to get another batch of pills. It is crazy. It will end. Soon. Blessings.

Looking forward to sharing my Exodus discovery soon! Same here witness1! I have been making my own soaps, creams, body care, and healing salves since I was a teenager that are natural and use botanicals and essential oils  I have such sensitive skin and was so tired of getting nowhere with Dr's and prescription medications and treatments. My poor daughter has terrible eczema and I only use what I make on her skin because over the counter stuff does not do a thing. Sorry if I am derailing further lol. God gave us all talents to use 😊 |

Rabbit trail or not... it is interesting that the Lord has led us all to these natural things He has given us and also that He created our bodies to HEAL when we care for them properly (which is an uphill battle these days!). Back to the original topic... I am still working on my own article about Exodus, but I found this worth sharing in the meantime: www.yahuahreigns.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=81&start=30I don't want this to turn into a debate like the resurrection day debate, but I think there is a LOT of evidence that Pentecost should have been celebrated in the fourth month all along. I hope to present all my findings in a succinct format soon. |

People do crazy things, like pretend to be a cop, to get another batch of pills. It is crazy. It will end. Soon. Blessings. I agree! My eyes have been opened to how much control Satan has over the world and how deeply deceived we all are. People are so drugged, so lethargic and confused from a diet of sugar and junk, and so tired all the time that many are scarcely even able to think clearly about the things of the Lord. Babies should not be born with eczema, digestion issues, and sleep issues (not looking down on anyone... my children were born this way too... and life gets so hard sometimes that we eat the junk like everyone else). Parents of young children have such a hard time going to church or getting up early to pray because they are so exhausted caring for sick children. This is not an accident... it is the enemy seeking to destroy. I am glad it will end soon! |

I may come back and do another Poll on December 22 and then a week later on December 29. I will see then if there has been more acceptance. My time here has been valuable because you have helped make the article more complete. Thank you and Blessings Saints. Soon we will rise and shine.

dennislwatson PLEASE start a new thread with the 50 occurrences and its meanings....It seems pretty interesting! It will get lost in this Lazarus thread... ps, its really barbiosheepgirl hijacking mom's computer. I was showing her how to reply in the threads. I am trying to get her out of the shouutbox I made this document especially for you BSG-Mom. It is all about the fifties. It is a part of the larger document posted at the very beginning of the thread. Blessings. FIFTY FIFTY.pdf (330.14 KB) |

My time here has been valuable because you have helped make the article more complete. Thank you and Blessings Saints. Soon we will rise and shine. Dennis, just to make you aware, I did take the time to read both versions of your documents. I also participated in your pole. I think you should not assume that people did not take the time. For some of us, we took the time but did not wish to stifle enthusiasm and so we remained fairly quiet. For those that believe in a pre-trib rapture, the problem with your research is that it simply can't be proven. There is nothing to deny and nothing to affirm. For those who don't believe in a pre-tribute rapture, your research holds no value. In the pre-trib camp, there have been many many predictions and "certainty" over the last few months. Some of the "watchers" keep pointing to the next idea. You are coming in in the midst of that experience and people are becoming more cautious with what they accept as proven. You are to be commended for following the voice of God in your life and being willing to put your resources into producing this work. Even if no one affirms it - it could be true. And if the whole world believed, it could be false. I have appreciated your humor and commitment. Perhaps you might want to stick around to see what else you can contribute or what else you can gain from this body. Blessings .... |

Of course I will check in from time to time. I may have to revise articles or post other links to it for guests. From a teaching perspective, I feel now I have laid out the points. If I had time to make this a thesis and really clear it up that would have been fun. But my article now is about 3 weeks of material. As a teacher who lays out the facts, then he backs away because he is satisfied, I think I can do that. As an exhorter, well...I am not doing that very much here. Could be because of the pervasive disappointment and wariness and not knowing any longer how to tell whether God is speaking or not. I feel He did. It is all in His Word, but I can't stay here and keep trying in the discouraged/disappointed environment. I made this a primary effort. You can tell. I need to put my primary effort elsewhere. This was absolutely necessary for me. I am not going away mad. I am just going to put primary efforts elsewhere. Hah! Plenty of members here will love that. And, I will still respond when its funny or necessary because I found out another point. Actually, I appreciate your "could be". To me that is moving forward. However, if that were the case why don't members vote "maybe" on the poll. If I am writing this for just maybe five people, that seems to me to be a little bit of a waste of effort. Not that you guys aren't worth it. You are. I want to reach as many people as I can. It is probably impossible because of the level of Biblical knowledge around. Coming at people with Scripture after Scripture to me is a proof. People don't want that, they want to know if you had a dream lately. Not on unsealed, of course. I mean in general out there. Anyway, thanks for your comment. Especially in light of the interesting very beginning of our relationship. See you soon at the throne room. Blessings. |

You know. silentknight just said something that now I realize is quite profound. He spoke of the hurt after the 9/23/2017 sign and because of that now, when some were so sure, people fear being wrong again and as a result can only maybe get to "yes another in the long line of possibilities." I am not quoting you I am just remembering the thoughts I read. BUT
I feel like Steve Martin in The Jerk right now I realize now "I have found my special purpose!!!" Hold on see if you agree with me.
For those of you who are willing to and who were excited please go back and remember the excitement and joy you felt in your heart as we approached September 23, 2017. I had that feeling of joy and thinking things are lining up and I was out of here,
Can you remember that joy? Yes it was there. The reason is because you believed it. You believed that was the rapture! But, it wasn't and it brought hurt. And you were discouraged.
The whole pervasive attitude of Unsealed (I have heard) changed from joy and hope to sorrow and discouragement and some it was downright anger.
That became the status quo. People learned to live with it and adjusted their thinking about the Bible as a result. The Bible just wasn't going to indicate when the rapture was.
Then someone prayed for Unsealed, probably one or more of the moderators, probably Gary himself, and the prayer was that God would cause Unsealed to be a place of encouragement again.
"I found my special purpose!" My coming here was the answer to that prayer. Why, because I was given by the Holy Spirit both gifts of teaching (God knew you would need some new teaching) and exhortation (God knew you guys were looking down instead of looking up) and had me develop these gifts in Christian service not as a full time preacher or anything but as a lay adult class teacher for a couple of decades. This wasn't me guys. This was what God wanted me to do and He also miraculously gave me time to work on those Biblical points. I suggest again you take a hard look because you won't get the chance again to be able to approach a date with the kind of certainty when you realize how God teaches us in Scripture.
You will have no encouragement until you believe. And right now that's the rub. Because of fear of being wrong, you can't believe. Because you can't believe you cannot be encouraged. That is what I just figured out about being here on Unsealed. I will be back to take a poll and see if more will believe. Only then will they be encouraged enough to vote with my heart.
I was excited about the 9/23 sign. However, in the back of my mind, I also thought, "God wouldn't really do the thing that the sign talked about on the very day of the sign, would He? What's the purpose of a sign? So, my disappointment at zilch was much less than yours. I was ready to find out what the sign was the sign for. I think I have it.
What is funny is that I thought this whole website was kind of focused on the Sign. I came here to say "It was a sign". But you guys were so sad you could only say "Never, never again" I think God is looking at us and says,
"You think I would resurrect all the dead saints and rapture you ON THE VERY DAY OF MY GREAT SIGN ABOUT THE RESURRECTION? You guys, I hide things! You thought because it was 726 days from that blood moon I created a few years ago and 726 is "harpadzo" you thought I would harpadzo you on that day? Are you embarrassed? You should be! I gave you a hundred reasons to think this was a sign about the rapture and instead you think it IS THE RAPTURE. AND NOW YOU ARE DISCOURAGED! THAT IS RIDICULOUS! Thinking I would come on the day of the sign is like children being proud of finding easter eggs. You are not a child you are a king! Search things out! Maybe you should look for a COUNT in Scripture somewhere. You know maybe in that oldy moldy Testament you don't read much anymore! Try Leviticus. Love you children whom I am going to make into Kings!"
Thanks for helping me find my special purpose.
Blessings Saints. Soon we rise and shine.

dennislwatson, it appears to me that people simply did not vote in your poll. It's not like the majority voted against your idea... there just weren't many votes. It may be that people just aren't ready to draw a line in the sand about what they think. Most people are trying to learn so much right now and process so much (as well as keep up with the usual busyness that comes with the season!). I hope your work here isn't finished because I enjoy learning from you. @silentnight... I am asking this without a hint of sarcasm so please hear this for what it is... just curious what you think. Do you think it is possible to know the date ahead of time? If yes, can you conceive of what a convincing argument would look like? If not, did you ever previously think we could know but have now changed your mind? Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

I have such sensitive skin and was so tired of getting nowhere with Dr's and prescription medications and treatments. My poor daughter has terrible eczema and I only use what I make on her skin because over the counter stuff does not do a thing. Sorry if I am derailing further lol. God gave us all talents to use 😊
