for dave and boraddict, dave said this:
I am not familiar with the apocrypha books. and so checked out bora's link there.
forgive me if being a little word picky here, but to me this statement about THE TIME reads to me as if about the 1st Coming. Why? saying" Yahweh is bout to visit the world" does not seem to be talking about His 2nd Coming which will be Him REIGNING, and solidly put, not visiting us and leaving again. But getting back to the THE TIME comment, Jesus described those around Him while He walked the earth with them. Judah was responsible for bringing in the Messiah, and they did physically as we have 2 accounts of geneology, but they did not do their part to make followers of Christ, and Walk in Faith, hence they suffered "wrath" destruction and dispersion.
Luke 19:44 and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."
I know this will stir the pot, but the verses put forth by an apocrypha source actually supports what I have come to believe that the 70th week was fulfilled by the destruction of the 2nd temple. even so, this forum has had its debate over the calculation of two periods of 1260. Notice that I didn't say "days". There was someone in the forum that did an interesting calculation using "years" and using 605 BC as a starting point of the "captivities" thru to modern day and seeing a pattern of 2, 1260 years there. Daniel started his prophetic era at that time. My Bible has an interesting time table, and if one counts 1260 from 605BC, one comes across the establishment of Christianity as an official 'religion', and the building of the Dome of Rock on the temple mount. An example of "Iron/Clay" This is around 638 where Jerusalem surrendered to Muslim conquerers. From there we land in the late 1800's and we see the turn of that century the milestones of the "rebirth" of modern day Israel, but also a "christian nation" with a very significant impact on the world.
My point: It may very well be that the 2 periods of 1260 may have been going on this entire time since Jesus ascended and received AUTHORITY over ALL. We will only "know" when we look back and find ourselves within it. Just like the point you are making, Dave. A person anointed with the Holy Spirit is not destined for wrath, but the apostles seem to warn all the time about tribulation. Since we are "seeing" some things that can fit into a 3 1/2 year period or a 7 year period, I am wondering if we will never be able to fit anything we "see" or experience in any physical 7 year slot because it is not about a "literal" year, or "day" but a description of God's Time, which is in increments of 7's, and as partial fulfillments of 3 1/2. notice I left out any hour, day or year. My point is we should hold open the idea of "fitting" our perception of events within various types of timeframes of God. There are more to timeframes than just 7 years, too. There are 40's there are 120's there are 49's and 50's , and "clusters of Jubilees" just like clusters of 7s, for example.
I also think we will come to see where America has been in prophecy, by basis of the predictable pattern of man's behavior. This country IS in the days of Lot, and acting like we are in the days of Noah. This country, America. We are doing it and acting exactly like it, and moreso, many of the churches are acting like the Pharisees of their day. The original clergy did not recognize the Messiah because they were caught up in pomp and circumstance, wealth and power, WORKS salvation, and not obeying the command, MAKE FOLLOWERS OF ME. ( said Jesus to His Followers. )
sorry, I have gone on a rant.. Judgement starts in the house, everybody. When Jesus comes, will He find Faith in Who He says He is (Authority over ALL), or faith in the works?

Nope, I'm not either barbio. I mainly started looking at them this weekend. My favorite version is Bible Gateway NRSV: www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Esdras+1&version=NRSVAnd i got the same idea as you, which Visitation is Esdras talking about. Otherwise i'm wasting our time. Boraddict should know this better than me, but the chapter 9 that i had quoted, seems clearly to be directed at the ultimate end of the world, the final judgement. Esdras seemed to be very concerned about the destruction of the wicked. And how they grossly outnumber the saved. Esdras argues on behalf of the lost, and this is the response: "He answered me and said, “Some things you have spoken rightly, and it will turn out according to your words. For indeed I will not concern myself about the fashioning of those who have sinned, or about their death, their judgment, or their destruction; but I will rejoice over the creation of the righteous, over their pilgrimage also, and their salvation, and their receiving their reward. As I have spoken, therefore, so it shall be.And again: "Therefore do not ask any more questions about the great number of those who perish. For when they had opportunity to choose, they despised the Most High, and were contemptuous of his law, and abandoned his ways. Moreover, they have even trampled on his righteous ones, and said in their hearts that there is no God—though they knew well that they must die.So i'd be reasonably sure that this is the final judgement of the age, and not the destruction of Jerusalem in the 1st century. This verse from chapter 6 sounds a lot like a rapture verse to me. “It shall be that whoever remains after all that I have foretold to you shall be saved and shall see my salvation and the end of my world.
“And they shall see those who were taken up, who from their birth have not tasted death; and the heart of the earth’s inhabitants shall be changed and converted to a different spirit.So the verse from chapter 9 that i quote, clearly seems to be talking about now. (i could be wrong) “Measure carefully in your mind, and when you see that some of the predicted signs have occurred, then you will know that it is the very time when the Most High is about to visit the world that he has made.
“So when there shall appear in the world earthquakes, tumult of peoples, intrigues of nations, wavering of leaders, confusion of princes, then you will know that it was of these that the Most High spoke from the days that were of old, from the beginning.I know this will stir the pot, but the verses put forth by an apocrypha source actually supports what I have come to believe that the 70th week was fulfilled by the destruction of the 2nd temple. even so, this forum has had its debate over the calculation of two periods of 1260. Notice that I didn't say "days". There was someone in the forum that did an interesting calculation using "years" and using 605 BC as a starting point of the "captivities" thru to modern day and seeing a pattern of 2, 1260 years there.

From there we land in the late 1800's and we see the turn of that century the milestones of the "rebirth" of modern day Israel, but also a "christian nation" with a very significant impact on the world. I think it was too. The 70 weeks from Daniel 9 appears to be the third, out of seven sets of 70 weeks, since the Exodus. From the Exodus in 1437 BC, until 1994, there were seven sets of 70 weeks. 490 X 7. 3,430 years. Comet Shoemaker Levy 9 appears to have sealed the deal on this by smashing into Jupiter 21 times over a six day period. Seven ugly ears are seven lean years. 21 impacts are 21 years that count to the third moon of the tetrad in 2015 where a slot can be found for the three prophetic time periods in Daniel 12. My point: It may very well be that the 2 periods of 1260 may have been going on this entire time since Jesus ascended and received AUTHORITY over ALL. We will only "know" when we look back and find ourselves within it. Just like the point you are making, Dave. A person anointed with the Holy Spirit is not destined for wrath, but the apostles seem to warn all the time about tribulation. Since we are "seeing" some things that can fit into a 3 1/2 year period or a 7 year period, I am wondering if we will never be able to fit anything we "see" or experience in any physical 7 year slot because it is not about a "literal" year, or "day" but a description of God's Time, which is in increments of 7's, and as partial fulfillments of 3 1/2. notice I left out any hour, day or year. My point is we should hold open the idea of "fitting" our perception of events within various types of timeframes of God. There are more to timeframes than just 7 years, too. There are 40's there are 120's there are 49's and 50's , and "clusters of Jubilees" just like clusters of 7s, for example. I think you're closer to the truth than you think. There are two periods of 1260, but the first is in years, and the second is in days. There appears to be 18 prophetic time periods in Daniel and Revelation. I also think we will come to see where America has been in prophecy, by basis of the predictable pattern of man's behavior. This country IS in the days of Lot, and acting like we are in the days of Noah. This country, America. We are doing it and acting exactly like it, and moreso, many of the churches are acting like the Pharisees of their day. The original clergy did not recognize the Messiah because they were caught up in pomp and circumstance, wealth and power, WORKS salvation, and not obeying the command, MAKE FOLLOWERS OF ME. ( said Jesus to His Followers. ) I think we are the "earth" that helped the "woman" after 1260 years of Pay Pal Persecution came to it's end in 1798 when Napoleon arrested Pope Pius. That Pope died in a jail cell. The Vatican was closed for business until Mussolini opened it back up in 1929 during the Lateran treaty. He's looking pretty healed right now. In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue. There were four blood moons and God was opening up a new continent. It would become a "place" prepared by God and the "earth" that swallowed the flood that spewed forth from the dragon's mouth after the Foxe Book days came to their end. When God does a thing it becomes Holy, not that the thing is Holy so that God does it. A place prepared by God is a Holy place. We are living IN the place of safety. sorry, I have gone on a rant.. Judgement starts in the house, everybody. When Jesus comes, will He find Faith in Who He says He is (Authority over ALL), or faith in the works? That's OK. I like it. It gives me something to think about. He will find it, Worthy is the Lamb. We will follow Him wherever He goes. |

When Jesus comes, will He find Faith in Who He says He is (Authority over ALL), or faith in the works? Barb, thank you. I like to view things as follows: 1) The messiah that the Jews were looking for was the Davidic King (the Son of David) , and they got the Christ (the Son of God). 2) The messiah that we are looking for is the Christ (the Son of God) and we will get (at first) the Davidic King (the Son of David) So when you see things that might give pause then consider who it is about, the Christ or the Davidic King. They can be regarded as one individual with two hats. Thus, the two periods of 1260 days may have an application to the two roles of the messiah. |

davewatchman , would you mind if I ask you for a little clarification? What is "Pay-Pal Persecution" and what are the Foxe Book days? In the Foxe Book days, the dark ages of Europe, you could Pay your Pal and buy for yourself a Stairway to Heaven. Mike is right, for the most part, Dave is being funny. Or is he? The Catholic Church sold "indulgences" in the late medieval period, the Foxe Book Days. If you were the King of England and wanted to divorce your wife, you had to ask the Pope if it was OK. He might say something like "well, no it's not OK. But if you make a donation to the "church", we will see to it that the Lord will turn a blind eye to it. It was like the church of the mafioso's. Give me some money, and you'll be saved. And this became so prevalent that the "church" appointed a "Bishop" for the sale of these "indulgences". It even grew to the point where they would accept money for the purpose of getting your dead loved ones out of purgatory: "In later years, the sale of indulgences spread to include forgiveness for the sins of people who were already dead. That is evident in this passage from a sermon by John Tetzel, the monk who sold indulgences in Germany and inspired Martin Luther's protest in 1517.
""Don't you hear the voices of your dead parents and other relatives crying out, "Have mercy on us, for we suffer great punishment and pain. From this, you could release us with a few alms . . . We have created you, fed you, cared for you and left you our temporal goods. Why do you treat us so cruelly and leave us to suffer in the flames, when it takes only a little to save us? [Source: Die Reformation in Augenzeugen Berichten, edited by Helmar Junghaus (Dusseldorf: Karl Rauch Verlag, 1967), 44.]
"""Although reformers had many complaints about the Catholic Church of the 16th century, the practice of selling "indulgences" raised the most opposition. An indulgence was a payment to the Catholic Church that purchased an exemption from punishment (penance) for some types of sins.
You could not get an indulgence to excuse a murder, but you could get one to excuse many lesser sins, such as thinking lustful thoughts about someone who was not your spouse. The customers for indulgences were Catholic believers who feared that if one of their sins went unnoticed or unconfessed, they would spend extra time in purgatory before reaching heaven or worse, wind up in hell for failing to repent. courses.wcupa.edu/jones/his101/web/37luther.htm |

Hi fitz , one thing I have not seen much "calculating" by folks is a 3 1/2 timeframe from the Sign. Jesus ministry was 3 1/2 years. Perhaps we are on a journey of that length from the Sign, which would put us in the Spring feasts, likely around first fruits, which I have not ruled out is significant to our blessed Hope :
3 1/2 will sound better to me than 33, as I will be in my 80's then, and older than a generation, eegads! This is similar to my thought. 3.5 years, or 1335 days, from the sign. This was one of the things i started thinking about when nothing happened at the "darkened' sun, and then the lunar eclipse. Is there a day count after that? A 21 day delay? A 45 day delay?, the difference between the 1290 and the 1335. I just don't think we're starting a 3.5 year span before the end of these wonders. I am still just so positive that i've figured out the 1290 days and that we are in the immediate zone for the culmination, but i'm at a loss to figure out where it is. Because there must be some logic to it. I don't see how it could be an arbitrary number. The 1290 days are such an exact lock fit. That set up, those events, are never going to happen again. There's obviously something more that i'm missing. But like you say, "3 1/2 will sounds better to me than 33", i'll be 72. But my gene pool only lasts until the 58 to 62 zone. We keep our youthful good looks and hardly go gray, but have weak hearts and dilated congestive cardiomyopathy. There's another slot of 1372 that will come up in the solar and lunar cycle from 2033 to 2038, but it's too far out. It doesn't play nice with the other witnesses. Like the one today, the last day of January and the 1969 decree. There's obviously something more i'm missing. But i still think the time is now. It feels like there's a pole shift going on outside. I can't take the wind. And all the birds have fled away. Measure carefully the time in your mind. I'm still having a blood moon hangover, but i'm still convinced that something is going to happen soon. Keep the lamps full and staying awake is great advice. Especially now. Because it will become easier and easier to become distracted and risk being caught by surprise. I still am convinced that these ARE the signs from Luke 21. That they have all been given. In the sun and in the moon and in the stars. I'm worried that the "distress of nations" comes next, or soon. I'm not sure about the peace treaty. But i don't think it matters who sees the signs. If they are visible to Jerusalem, or to Washington DC. I don't think it matters now. An Eskimo can see them all if he wants to on a smart phone or tablet.. That conception comet C/2017 E1 is still dancing around while rocketing away near Orion's shield and anyone with a smart phone can see it if they want. I also feel comfortable here Mr. Bond. The only reason that i would hesitate in my "thinking out loud" and out of the box here is because i'd rather not cause anyone to be agitated. All i ever do is to think out loud. I don't KNOW what's going on. But i am sure that something IS going on. During times like this, what i do is to review everything that i have looked at. Like how Gary just did a quick recap on the Revelation 12 Sign in the Signs in the Heavens section. Like how i did in the other forum with the Isaac Newton read on Daniel 9 and the two modern day decrees to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem. And so it would seem something would have to happen in January. But what i'm thinking about right now is how are these numbers from Daniel 12 supposed to be situated with one another. If the Abomination and the End of these Wonders and "darkened" sun are 1290 days apart, how do they fit with the 1335 days? Will there still be 45 days to go? Or less? How does the 1290 fit inside of the 1335? Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days <----1260----> <-----1290-----> 0.976744186046512 <------1335------> 0.966292134831461 <-------1372-------> 0.973032069970845 This Sunday will be 7 days since the moon not giving it's light. This Sunday will be 21 days since the sun was "darkened". From the "darkened" sun until Presidents Day is 45 days.From the "darkened" sun until yet another Supermoon is 45 days.That will also be Daisy Gatson Bates Day in Arkansas.  www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/daisy-gatson-bates-dayMany people in the United States, including in Little Rock, Arkansas, take the time to remember the life and achievements of Daisy Gatson Bates on the THIRD Monday of February 18. Daisy Lee Gatson Bates was born in Huttig, Arkansas, in 1913 or 1914. She was a foster child who attended the city’s segregated public schools. She married LC Bates in 1942 and lived in Little Rock. Her husband started a newspaper, known as the Arkansas State Press, which stressed the need to improve conditions for African Americans. This resulted in many businesses withdrawing their advertisements. She and her husband were actively involved in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Bates’ popularity as a civil rights advocate heightened in 1956 during the pre-trial proceedings of the federal court case, Aaron v Cooper, which set the stage for Little Rock Central High School’s desegregation in 1957. Bates led a protest against the Little Rock schools system’s slow plan for racial integration within schools. She personally guided and advised African American students enroll into Little Rock Central High School on September 25, 1957, with National Guard units and about 1000 paratroopers to help enforce integration. She remained active in the civil rights programs throughout her life. Bates died of a heart attack at the Baptist Medical Center in Little Rock on November 4, 1999. February 19 will see another Supermoon. The Full Moon on February 19, 2019, is a Supermoon, making it look bigger and brighter than usual. Shabbat Shalom! At this time i'm still hooked on the 1290 days as THE EMPIRICAL. They reverse engineer themselves all the way back to the Foxe Book Days. I don't know what it is, but i doubt that we are starting a new 1335 day slot. My lights flashed, i can't take this wind. It's making me nervous. From the Abomination, until the "darkened" sun was exactly 1290 days. Or another way to word it is: From the Abomination, until the February 19 Supermoon is 1335 days.  Then from the "darkened" sun, until the second of the three super moons is 45 days, 1335 - 1290 = 45. 1,335 1,290 - -------------------------- 45 = Will there still be 45 days to go? Or less? How does the 1290 fit inside of the 1335? Or does the 1290 fit within the 1335? Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days <----1260----> <-----1290-----> 0.976744186046512 <------1335------> 0.966292134831461 <-------1372-------> 0.973032069970845 Measure carefully the time in your mind. Year’s biggest supermoon on February 19This February full moon ushers in the second in a series of 3 full moon supermoons occurring on January 21, February 19 and March 21, 2019. All of these full moons are less than 362,000 km (225,000 miles) distant as measured from the centers of the Earth and moon. (In contrast, the year’s farthest full moon on September 14, 2019, will reside at a distance of 406,248 km or 252,431 miles.) The full moons of January, February and March 2019 are regarded as supermoons because of their relative nearness to Earth. 2019 Jan 21 full moon: 357,715 km (222,274 miles) 2019 Feb 19 full moon: 356,846 km (221,734 miles) 2019 Mar 21 full moon: 360,772 km (224,173 miles) The full moon on February 19, 2019, counts as the most “super” of these full supermoons because it’s the full moon that most closely aligns with perigee – the moon’s closest point to Earth in its monthly orbit: Perigee: 2019 Feb 19 at 9:06 UTC (356,761 km or 221,681 miles) "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 full moon.
Regulus: The Kingly StarRegulus is a bright star seen in the constellation Leo the Lion. It's the brightest star in the constellation and among the brightest in Earth's night sky. This blue-white beauty of a star represents the Lion’s heart.  The year’s closest full moon on February 19, 2019, swings a whopping 49,402 km (30,697 miles) closer to Earth than does the year’s farthest full moon (or micro-moon) on September 14, 2019. Hence, the diameter of the February full moon is about 14 percent greater than that of the September full moon. But the disk size and brightness of this February supermoon exceed those of the September micro-moon by about 30 percent. To make the difference more concrete, perhaps, the size difference between the year’s largest and smallest full moons is comparable to that of a U.S. quarter versus a U.S. nickel. Enjoy the grand and glorious full moon supermoon of February 2019 as this brilliant celestial lamp lights up the nighttime from dusk till dawn!  The moon will appear plenty full to the eye on the nights of February 18 and 19. That bright star accompanying the February full moon is Regulus, the brightest in the constellation Leo the Lion. "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 full moon.
"I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.Lord give me the eyes so that i may see,
When You come home at the full moon.
Peaceful Sabbath.

I still think something can happen at any minute. I didn't want to bother the other threads so i thought to post this here. It wouldn't surprise me if something were to happen between the next two full moons, between the spring equinox and the April 19 full moon which is on Good Friday. 1,335 1,290 - -------------------------- 45 = Will there still be 45 days to go? Or less? How does the 1290 fit inside of the 1335? Or does the 1290 fit within the 1335? Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days <----1260----> <-----1290-----> 0.976744186046512 <------1335------> 0.966292134831461 <-------1372-------> 0.973032069970845 Measure carefully the time in your mind. Year’s biggest supermoon on February 19This February full moon ushers in the second in a series of 3 full moon supermoons occurring on January 21, February 19 and March 21, 2019. All of these full moons are less than 362,000 km (225,000 miles) distant as measured from the centers of the Earth and moon. (In contrast, the year’s farthest full moon on September 14, 2019, will reside at a distance of 406,248 km or 252,431 miles.) The full moons of January, February and March 2019 are regarded as supermoons because of their relative nearness to Earth. 2019 Jan 21 full moon: 357,715 km (222,274 miles) 2019 Feb 19 full moon: 356,846 km (221,734 miles) 2019 Mar 21 full moon: 360,772 km (224,173 miles)
The full moon on February 19, 2019, counts as the most “super” of these full supermoons because it’s the full moon that most closely aligns with perigee – the moon’s closest point to Earth in its monthly orbit: Perigee: 2019 Feb 19 at 9:06 UTC (356,761 km or 221,681 miles) "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 full moon.I still think it's strange that the second supermoon of this triad hits 45 days after the "darkened sun, AND the third supermoon of the triad hits 75 days after the "darkened sun: 1,335 1,290 - -------------------------- 45 = 1,335 1,260 - -------------------------- 75 = And I will raise him up on the last dayThe third supermoon of the triad, the LAST day of winter, the spring equinox and the third day of Purim all converge 75 days after the "darkened sun. Just before the Sabbath. Pray that your flight not be in winter, or on the Sabbath. This is a bit of an elaborate thing to assemble, to measure the time in your mind. SUPER MOON ON THE SPRING EQUINOX MARCH 20"The March full Moon is particularly special because it reaches its peak on the same day as the spring equinox, on March 20, 2019. The last time the full Moon and the spring equinox coincided this closely (4 hours apart) was in March 2000, but the last time they occurred on the same date was on March 20, 1981!
This full Moon is also a supermoon, meaning the Moon will be nearly at its closest to Earth for the month of March. It’s the year’s third (and final) of three straight full supermoons. This means that the Moon may “appear” brighter and bigger than normal, provided the night sky is clear and dark.
www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-marchAND the third supermoon of this triad hits within the feast of Purim where God's people were saved in the Book of Esther. The Book of Esther is a book in the THIRD section (Ketuvim, "Writings") of the Jewish Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) and in the Christian Old Testament. Does the name Esther sound like, or make anyone think of Easter? "This year, in 2019, the full moon supermoon comes less than 4 hours after the arrival of the March 20th equinox, making this the closest coincidence of the March equinox and full moon since March 20, 2000.
The last time the full moon happened less than one day of the March equinox was 19 years ago, in 2000, and the next time will be 11 years from now, in 2030:
March 2000 full Moon: March 20 at 4:44 UTC
March 2000 equinox: March 20 at 7:35 UTC
March 2030 full moon: March 19 at 17:56 UTC
March 2030 equinox: March 20 at 13:51 UTC
Generally, the first full moon of a Northern Hemisphere spring heralds the imminent coming of the Christian celebration of Easter. Because Easter Sunday usually occurs on the first Sunday after the first full moon in spring, some of us might expect the upcoming Sunday on March 24 to be Easter Sunday. However, by ecclesiastical rules, the equinox is fixed on March 21, so that places this year’s Easter Sunday (for Western Christendom) on April 21, 2019.
By the Gregorian calendar, the last time that an ecclesiastical Easter and an astronomical Easter didn’t occur on the same date was 38 years ago, in 1981. The next time won’t be until 19 years from now, in2038.earthsky.org/?p=301190(The guy gets me spooky when he uses the phrase: "heralds the imminent coming") Purim is a THREE day feastFrom the comment section of a Steve Fletcher video: "Pinned by STEVE FLETCHER 222

For those curious about Purim being a 3-day and not a 2-day holiday, following is my attempt at explaining it:
There are actually two different groups of Jewish citizens involved ... those living in the rural areas and those living in Shushan (Strong's 7800 definition: residence of Persian kings during winter).
Purim actually started on 13th (as it was the original date which Haman got after he cast the lot [pur] to kill the Jews but they themselves got killed by the Jews instead) and after the killing was done on the 13th, those in the RURAL areas started their celebrations.
However, unknown to them, Queen Esther had requested the King in (Esther 9:12-15) for a Second day of killing on the 14th ..... so while the rural areas were celebrating, those in SHUSHAN were still killing on the second day. As such, those in Shushan could only celebrate on 15th (the 3rd day).
So, in order to ensure everyone celebrates Purim at the same time, they need to make Purim a 3-day holiday, otherwise, only those in the rural areas get to celebrate their victory while those in Shushan wouldn't have any since they were still killing on the second day when their rural countrymen were celebrating.
That's why Mordecai and Esther had to write a decree to specify that the celebrations for victory will take place on both the 14th and 15th resulting in making Purim a 3 day holiday for all - see Esther 9:20-21, 30-32.
Hope above explains .. otherwise, like what Brother Steve said, please read Esther chapters 3 & 9
Shalom.
I know it's a "Jewish feast, but look at the language: "The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year; - Esther 9:27"And upon all such as joined themselves unto them. Sounds a bit like the wild branch grafted into the cultivated. And zoom out a couple clicks and it's really talking about the big picture, which is God's People being saved from the wicked.I'd rather not post the Rabbi with the Bible code video, but he also seems worried about this Purim time too. This is a screenshot from a Steve Fletcher video, he includes the "After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight" verse from Hosea 6.  The video IS interesting. Steve thinks the "last day", and the "third day" converge on Purim, a three day feast. I just wish he would quit with all the: "the Lord showed me this, and "the Lord told me that kind of stuff. He's either going to be really right, or dreadfully wrong. It can be a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.(NIV) Peaceful Sabbath |

"After two days will he revive us:
in the third day he will raise us up,
and we shall live in his sight" I was also noticing that Jesus waited TWO days before He went to raise Lazarus: "So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill,
he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.
And then i wondered if it could be figured out, what time of year was it that Jesus raised up Lazarus from the dead? The first of two witnesses that i found both point to the time of year we are in, prior to the Holy Week. Dr. Eric D. Huntsman:"The raising of Lazarus is an appropriate prelude to a celebration of Holy Week, both because it foreshadowed Jesus’ own coming resurrection and because it seems to have been a major cause in the series of events that led to his arrest and death. While the cleansing of the temple appears to be one of the triggering factors that led to the arrest—and eventually the crucifixion—of Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels, the Gospel of John presents the raising of Lazarus as the proximate cause of Jewish leadership’s decision to try to put Jesus to death: ""But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, “What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.”
"In the Eastern Orthodox tradition, the Saturday before Palm Sunday is celebrated as “Lazarus Saturday” (although because most Eastern churches follow the Julian calendar, the events from Lazarus Saturday up through and including Easter usually fall on a later date than they do in the West). This feast celebrates Jesus’ power over death as it was so powerfully demonstrated in his calling Lazarus forth alive from his grave in Bethany. www.byunewtestamentcommentary.com/the-raising-of-lazarus-prelude-to-holy-week/When Was Lazarus Resurrected?
by Wayne Blank:
As the Messiah said, the miracle done for Lazarus was "for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby." But was it also an example, a prophecy, of something that was about to happen to Jesus? Amazingly, the man who was going to be responsible for the killing of Jesus answered the question. "11:49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
11:50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
11:51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
11:52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
11:53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death." (John 11:49-53 KJV)And when did the example of Lazarus' resurrection happen? Near Passover. "11:55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves." (John 11:55 KJV)
"12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead." (John 12:1 KJV)Even more amazingly, those who sought to kill the Christ recognized the prophetic meaning of Lazarus' raising, so they plotted to kill him too - a glaring paradox of logic. "12:9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; 12:11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus." (John 12:9-11 KJV)www.keyway.ca/htm2010/20100317.htmThey wanted to kill Lazarus too. |

in the third day he will raise us up,

he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.
And then i wondered if it could be figured out, what time of year was it that Jesus raised up Lazarus from the dead? Also, before Passover, Jesus specifically mentions the three days. This is tough to explain. Because i don't think He meant the resurrection of his own body, i think this is where Paul got the idea for the "Body of Christ". In three days He will raise US up, we ARE the Body, we are the Temple that He's talking about that will be raised in three days. And in the third day he will raise us up. And i think this will be the sign of the Son of Man, that when the tribes of the earth will see it, they will mourn. We won't see this sign because we ARE the sign. "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and will you raise it up in three days? But he spoke of the temple of his body. Jesus said in three days I will raise IT up. What is the IT that He will raise up. Did Jesus resurrect Himself? Or was it the Father? And has it been written any where else in the Bible that Jesus’ physical body is described as the temple of God? I had these ideas a couple years ago, about the sign of the Son of Man, and in three days I will raise it up. And i found this Medical Doctor from Montreal who wrote a good note about the three days and the Body of Christ. From Yves I-Bing Cheng, M.D., M.A."And this thing that Jesus is going to raise up, what is it? Are we still talking about the temple or is it something else? Because the passage goes on to say in v. 21 that what He will raise up in three days is His body. The Jews therefore said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?" But He was speaking of the temple of His body (vv. 20-21). Now we are beginning to lose the connection. Jesus is on fire for the house of God. The house of God is the temple which took forty-six years for Herod the Great to rebuild. The Lord says, ‘Let it be destroyed and in three days, I will raise it up.’ ‘It’, being what? Logically, it should be the temple. Yet, in v. 21, it says that Jesus was referring to His body. And the next verse tells us that when the disciples saw the resurrection of Jesus, they remembered what He said – that He spoke of the resurrection of His body on the third day. Are we to suppose, then, that by the statement ‘I will raise it up on the third day’, it means that Jesus is going to rise from the dead? If that is the case, does it mean that His zeal for God’s house is a zeal for His own resurrection, since the temple is His body? Remember v. 21, He was speaking of the temple of His body. Something seems to be wrong here. If you feel that way, you are right. But what is wrong? Here are some of the problems. First of all, the notion that Jesus’ physical body is the temple of God is not found in the Bible. There is no passage in the Scriptures that says this. We have a verse in 1Corinthians 6:19 where the apostle Paul declares that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. But nowhere in the Bible is there a verse that says that Jesus’ body is the temple of God. Also, notice that v. 19 is in the active tense. ‘I will raise it up. I, Jesus, will raise it up.’ The Bible never says that Jesus raised Himself up from the dead. The raising of Jesus from the dead is always in the passive tense. We have an example of this in v. 22. When therefore He was raised from the dead… When Jesus was raised, then the disciples recognized what He meant. So in v. 19, the sentence is in the active tense. ‘I will raise it up.’ But in v. 22, it is in the passive. ‘He was raised from the dead.’ It seems that we are talking about two different things. What is it that He will raise up? What is this body? What is this temple that He is concerned about? www.meetingwithchrist.com/E007%20In%20three%20days%20I%20will%20raise%20it%20up%20-%20Jn%202(13-22).htmI'm not saying that these three days of Purim are going to be the Rapture, but you never know until you know. |

What IF the "two days" longer that Jesus stayed in the place where He was, were the first two days of Purim. And then He went and raised Lazarus up on the third day, the last day, of Purim.  Why did He wait two specific days? This brother thinks he has pieced together Jesus' travels. I can't tell if he's right. But if he is, he's a pretty smart guy. He thinks Jesus WAS celebrating Purim, and then left for Bethany to raise Lazarus from the dead. "Later, he would return to Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Purim in the 12th month of the Jewish Calendar (31 AD). Nevertheless, Jesus healed ten lepers (Luke 17:12) and nine of them, must have come to Jerusalem before it was time for Jesus to arrive. In the face of such a miracle, it was difficult for the Jewish authorities to arrest him without incurring the wrath of the people. "Nevertheless, Jesus left Jerusalem for a short time only to return to Bethany (not Jerusalem) in order to raise Lazarus from the dead (John 11:1-57). Afterwards, the authorities pulled out all stops and sought to arrest Jesus wherever he could be found and have him killed as soon as possible.  smoodock45.wordpress.com/2018/02/04/jesus-seven-visits-to-jerusalem/The Purim screenshots came from Steve Fletcher's video: I can't think of too much else right now. That might be a good thing. |

Interesting stuff, Dave. A couple comments I would make...just ramblings... It seems that most assume that God the Father raised Jesus from the dead, because after all, Jesus was really dead! In fact, we see in Acts 2:24 that "God" did raise Jesus, also the Holy Spirit had a hand in it (2 Corinthians 4:14, Romans 1:4, Romans 8:11). But it may surprise some to know that Jesus DID raise Himself. He said he would...in John 10:18. In talking about His life, he says... No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” So, I believe that Jesus did raise Himself from the dead, in His own power! Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life”, did He not? (John 11:25) However, it's probably most accurate to say that the Trinity worked together to accomplish it. Of less import, but still interesting, some may remember that Charles Lazarus, Toys 'r' Us founder died on March 22, 2018. www.mercurynews.com/2018/03/22/lazarus-founder-of-toys-r-us-dies-at-94/ |

I forgot about that verse. "But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.And this one from Acts 17: "Because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed;
and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.”The reason why this is so important for us right now is that if Jesus was NOT talking about raising His own Resurrection body up in three days, the three days has to be talking about something else. Is His zeal for God’s house, a zeal for His own resurrection body?, since the temple in this case would be His body? See how it doesn't make sense? It's like telling the Old Time Jews, "go ahead, destroy this temple, and i will raise my Resurrection body up in three days. It makes more sense that WE are the Body, the Body OF Christ, that gets raised up in three days. But i know what you mean. Jesus' successful mission, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, met the qualifications that it would be done. Because He laid His life down, He could pick it up again. I'm still stuck on these three days. 2019 Jan 21 full supermoon: 357,715 km (222,274 miles) 2019 Feb 19 full supermoon: 356,846 km (221,734 miles) 2019 Mar 21 full supermoon: 360,772 km (224,173 miles) "For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
He hath taken a bag of money with him; he will come home at the full moon.
And I will raise him up on the last day. Purim is a THREE day feast. "After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight" "So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. Lazarus was raised on the third day? He told them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Listen! I am driving out demons and healing today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will finish my work. And on the third day He will finish His work. This year is weird, people are celebrating Purim and Passover on the same day. I like what this guy says in about the last minute and a half of his video. I did something like this a while ago. List a bunch of things that have happened. 1535, kingdom against kingdom, WW1, WW2, 1948, 1969, 1994 and 21 impacts to the terads of 2015 and the Revelation 12 sign. These things will never happen again. But it's only going to happen one time in 7000 years, when it can connect with the conjunction of the Revelation 12 sign. And only one time on the 70th year anniversary of Israel becoming a Nation. And only one time 1290 days after the United States became the 21st nation to legalize same sex marriage. And only one time after two modern day decrees to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. And only one time 21 years after Comet Shoemaker Levy 9 hit Jupiter 21 times in 1994 after seven sets of seventy weeks since the Exodus. These are events that are not replaceable in time. They are never going to happen again. As i continue to review these materials, i still think it's happening right now, right before our eyes, or about to happen, any day, any minute now. |

It's hard to measure the TIME carefully in your mind when your neurotransmitters are sore. So a quick note, and i'll be sleep'in like a log. Two Days and Lazarus Saturday
"After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight" I was also noticing that Jesus waited TWO days before He went to raise Lazarus: "So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. And then i wondered if it could be figured out, what time of year was it that Jesus raised up Lazarus from the dead? AND THEN, i started thinking about something else a little spooky. What IF the "two days" longer that Jesus stayed in the place where He was, were the first two days of Purim. And then He went and raised Lazarus up on the third day, the last day, of Purim. Why did He wait two specific days? This brother thinks he has pieced together Jesus' travels. I can't tell if he's right. But if he is, he's a pretty smart guy. He thinks Jesus WAS celebrating Purim, and then left for Bethany to raise Lazarus from the dead. "Later, he would return to Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Purim in the 12th month of the Jewish Calendar (31 AD). Nevertheless, Jesus healed ten lepers (Luke 17:12) and nine of them, must have come to Jerusalem before it was time for Jesus to arrive. In the face of such a miracle, it was difficult for the Jewish authorities to arrest him without incurring the wrath of the people. "Nevertheless, Jesus left Jerusalem for a short time only to return to Bethany (not Jerusalem) in order to raise Lazarus from the dead (John 11:1-57). Afterwards, the authorities pulled out all stops and sought to arrest Jesus wherever he could be found and have him killed as soon as possible. "For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
He hath taken a bag of money with him; he will come home at the full moon.
And I will raise him up on the last day. Purim is a THREE day feast. "After two days will he revive us:
in the third day he will raise us up,
and we shall live in his sight"
"So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill,
he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.
Lazarus was raised on the third day?
He told them, "Go and tell that fox,
Listen! I am driving out demons and healing today and tomorrow,
and on the third day I will finish my work.
And on the third day He will finish His work. I can't think of too much else right now. That might be a good thing. I just saw this video. And it looked spooky for a bit, only for a day, only today. Maybe. Depending on where you live. Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light. It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.”Right when Jesus gets word about Lazarus, is He hinting, or eluding to the Equinox? At the equinox, are there not twelve hours in the day? Equinox, equal day and equal night. Night before light. And the evening and the morning were the first day.And then, when Jesus gets there and Lazarus is dead, Martha comes right out and says it."Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Martha answered,
“I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”And the equinox marks the LAST day of Winter. "So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. And He raised him up on the third day. Nick VanderLaan Good job Nick. A good listen.
