KNOWING THE TIMES
KNOWING THE TIMES
Perhaps
like no other time in history, we need to know and understand the appointed
times of the Lord. There is so much we do not know about them and we let many
things breeze by even in reading the bible and their significance escapes our
understanding.
Did you
know, for instance, that Jesus was baptized by John on the 1st of
Elul and that HE then went into the wilderness to be tested of the devil for 40
days? Well, yes we sort of knew that, but what we don’t usually know is that at
the end of 40 days, Jesus arrived in His home town on the very day of Yom
Kippur and stood up in the Synagogue to announce the Jubilee. HE did so on the very
day or appointed time of the Lord.
Now on
this day, (Yom Kippur) the Jews offered up two goats. Lots were cast and one
goat was appointed as a sacrifice to the Lord while the other was designated as
the scapegoat and led into the wilderness. So the Jews, in order to make sure
that the scape goat didn’t wander back into town, (which certainly would have
been a bad omen,) would throw the goat off a cliff to make sure that the goat
did not return to town.
It is
said that on that day they would tie a crimson ribbon to one of the horns of the
scape goat and one crimson ribbon to the door of the synagogue and as the scapegoat
died in the wilderness the crimson ribbon would miraculously turn white on the synagogue
door.
So this
is the precise day that Jesus stood up before His hometown people and announced
the Jubilee quoting Isaiah 61. But the Jews, not seeing Jesus as the Messiah at
that point, became angry and rushed Jesus out of the synagogue to the brow of a
hill where they intended to throw him off.
Do you
see what was happening there? They were treating Jesus as the scape goat
instead of as the sacrifice for their sins. They did not understand the hour of
their visitation.
We can
sit around and blame the Jews for not understanding these things, but we need
to remember that they were going through all of this for the first time. How
much less do we understand God’s appointed times today and we have no excuse
because Paul tells us saying:
“Now
all these things happened unto them for examples; and they are written for our admonition,
upon whom the ends of the world are come.” 1 Cor. 10:11
In
other words, we are to learn from what they did right and what they did wrong
and we must understand these signs and appointed times and react to them
correctly this time around. Instead, most churches have abandoned these things
altogether, we have claimed them done away and so now we are just as deaf, dumb and blind as our forefathers were, maybe
even worse.
Do we
think it is a coincidence that just as we are seeing signs in the sun, moon and
stars that God has also raised up the Messianic movement to give understanding
to these signs as they relate to the return of Yeshua? Do you think it a coincidence
that at this critical juncture in time, awareness is being brought to the fore
concerning the Feasts of Israel that outline last day events and point to the
return of Yeshua?
We need
to take these things seriously because we are about to enter into that same 40
day period of testing that Jesus went through back then. This total eclipse
across America comes to pass just 40 days from Yom Kippur this year. Judgment is
coming to America and we need to rightly understand these things.
Elul 1
signals the total eclipse of the sun followed 40 days later by Yom Kippur. The feast
of trumpets happens on the 21st of September serving as a wake- up
call for the sign of Revelation 12 on the 23rd.
Rev. 12
is the birthing of the man child followed by the Dragon that seeks to destroy
him, but he is caught up to heaven and the woman who gave birth to Him is hotly
pursued into the wilderness by the dragon. This dragon is described as a 7
headed beast with seven heads and ten horns and we know it today as the coming
global government of the Beast which is then described in Revelation 13.
Again I
ask; is it a coincidence that the New World Order has designated 2018 through
2025 as the seven years of the implementation of their one world rule? Is it a
coincidence that they plan in one way or another to wipe out a huge percentage
of the population and to specifically get rid of both Jews and Christians?
Is it a
coincidence that many parts of the church are falling away from the faith today
and returning to the antichrist pagan religion of the Pope, in spite of the fact
that he is claiming that the cross was a failure, that Jesus is not returning
and that Lucifer is the rightful king of this world?
I, for
one, cannot ignore these things and I may not have it all down yet, but by George
we must at the very least understand the season in which we are living and
prepare for any eventuality whether rapture, or tribulation, war or persecution
that might come our way.
It is
time to blow the trumpet in Zion and sound the alarm. We are now entering a
time unprecedented in world history and we will either be ready for the Marriage
supper of the Lamb, or we will not. Please get ready.
