You Call it Christmas, We Call it Yule (Peg Aloi: Witchvox)

It is easy to become jaded and cynical about it, wondering why it is not the magical time we all experienced as children, wondering how it ever got so commercial. For modern pagans who may still observe the holiday because their families do, it is a confusing time of year; how to celebrate this as a seasonal festival when so many of our associations with this holiday have to do with gifts, food and merrymaking?<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzrNh0qUCSlir8CBFGOkx_3ZO2ZlwQ4saUDlbg_5554vEmj0ulvsTbOw-hrOqGsSPOSQQfnR9fqkgmkJs4cJ_VBtwiz9IKdfLNHBNXIxMwDyqj2GxAVqUJ6oWYfMw3pfeTadn7Cjp2oLo/s1600/5562.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1065" data-original-width="1600" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzrNh0qUCSlir8CBFGOkx_3ZO2ZlwQ4saUDlbg_5554vEmj0ulvsTbOw-hrOqGsSPOSQQfnR9fqkgmkJs4cJ_VBtwiz9IKdfLNHBNXIxMwDyqj2GxAVqUJ6oWYfMw3pfeTadn7Cjp2oLo/s640/5562.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> Even for those who celebrate this day as the birth of Christ, it must be difficult to stay focused on that significance, with the tinsel and shopping and office parties and the newest toys for kids clouding their vision. I for one find that cynicism abounds at this time of year, and that many adults dread the "holidays" because of family issues and stresses that seem to become more pronounced. The emphasis on having a picture-perfect "Martha Stewart" style celebration is a set-up for disappointment; and kids these days are so focused on getting presents that they hardly have time to enjoy the more sensual pleasures of the season (winter activities, traditional foods, music, decorations). Of course Christmas was not always this way; modern societies are far removed from our ancient connections to Nature; yet we still retain customs derived from the agricultural calendars of our ancestors. Perhaps there is something to be said for examining the modern traditions of Christmas in light of their ancient origins. It may be surprising to find that many of the customs still associated with Christmas today are, in fact, derived from ancient pagan traditions.<br /> <br /> The seasonal observance of holidays such as Channukah and Kwaanza are tangentially influenced by the overwhelming emphasis on Christmas, and in the United States it has become common in recent years to give a more even representation of these holidays alongside the more popular one: Christmas. Yet the religious significance of the season seems remarkably absent much of the time. And of course the symbols of the season are very secular in nature: trees, mistletoe and holly, Santa Claus, reindeer...how do such symbols relate to the birth of Christ?<br /> <br /> Christ's Birthday? or Winter Solstice?<br /> <br /> To begin, let us look at the actual reason this holiday exists: for Yule and Christmas are not so very different, underneath it all; both celebrate the arrival of the sun/son; or, if you like, the light of the world...<br /> <br /> Ronald Hutton, in his excellent book The Stations of the Sun, has this to say about the story of the Nativity: It "makes sense on a mythological level--an archetypal representation of the birth of a hero at the junction of many worlds, (who is) engendered partly of humans and partly of the divine, born in a location that is neither indoors nor in the open air, belonging partly to humans and partly to animals, and adored by those on the margins of society."<br /> <br /> Most modern pagans acknowledge Yule as the rebirth of the light half of the year; some traditions perform the play of the Oak King and the Holly King, just as it is done at Midsummer, to mark the change of the seasons as one of them reigns over the other. It is also generally accepted that the date of Christmas is an arbitrary one; that it was chosen to coincide with the pagan solstice celebration, as a way of "converting" the "heathens" (or country folk, heath-dwellers) to the Christian way of life.<br /> <br /> The first written record of the reason for this holiday's occurrence on December 25th was in 354 AD, in Rome, when one scholar wrote: "It was customary for pagans to celebrate the birth of the sun...when the doctors of the Church perceived that the Christians had a leaning to this festival, they took counsel and resolved that the true Nativity should be solemnized on that day."<br /> <br /> However, the tradition of celebrating the solstice on this day is not much older, at least according to extant records: it was officially decreed in the year 274 by the emperor Aurelian. A century later, the archbishop of Constantinople observed that fixing the date of the "Nativity of the Sun of Righteousness" was necessary because "while the heathens were busied with their profane rites, the Christians might perform their holy ones without disturbance." Saint Augustine encouraged Christians to honor "He who made the sun, not the sun itself."<br /> <br /> As an aside, the word "Yule" is believed to derive from a colloquial Scandinavian term meaning "wheel." There is also some speculation it is dervied from the Old English word for "jolly." But its exact etymology is still debated. The concept of the wheel makes more sense to me, since this date marks the definitive point in the Wheel of the Year, and for many cultures and calendars it is the start of the new year.<br /> <br /> We know that the observance of the winter solstice was very significant in ancient times. Since this date represented the moment when the days would again become longer, when light would return to the land, the rural folk who faced lean times in winter had reason to be thankful. The use of candles as decorations and ritual objects, dating from ancient times, clearly indicates the importance of honoring the deities of light. The sun's return meant spring was on its way,and with it, the birth of new animals to the flock, and the softening of the soil tilled by our ancestors who lived as animal herders and farmers. Their celebration of this date as a holy day, when they worshiped and honored the sun as a deity, was an affirmation of their survival of the cold months of winter. They subsisted on the dried meats of the animals they slaughtered at Samhain, and what little produce they could preserve from the final harvest.<br /> <br /> Much of the folklore surrounding winter solstice rituals from various cultures has to do with very basic symbols of agriculture and animal husbandry; in other words, the dormancy of winter as a time of scarcity, and the return of the light as a harbinger of new growth. In Frazer's The Golden Bough it is observed that Bethlehem means "House of Bread,"and that this indicates an association of the birth of Christ with ancient rituals honoring a god of grain and vegetation. The Christian mass includes as its central climax the sharing of bread which represent Christ's body; such symbology dates from well before the dawn of Christianity. And the drinking of the fruit of the vine, in addition to honoring ancient harvest deities like Bacchus and Dionysus, was also believed to insure a bountiful grape harvest in the coming year.<br /> <br /> In areas where other fruits were the important crop (like apples in England), many rituals developed around blessing the orchards at Yuletide. Called "saining," these rites blessed fruit trees and livestock so that they might bring abundant food in the seasons ahead. Many of the "wassail" songs reflect this in their lyrics, such as "And here is to Cherry and to his right eye; May Yule bring our mistress a good mincemeat pie." During these rites, Cherry, a common name for a roan-colored cow, might even have a cup of cider tossed in his face; the way his head turned in response was considered a way of divining the health of the herd in the months to come.<br /> <br /> The Holly and the Ivy; Did Someone Say "Tree Worship?"<br /> <br /> Another potent symbol of Yuletide is the use of evergreen plants to decorate indoors, including holly, ivy, and mistletoe. In the British Isles, it has been customary since time immemorial to decorate with flowers or greenery at all seasonal celebrations; the traditional "evergreen" plants were those that flourished in the winter months, and also included rosemary, gorse, bay, cypress, and yew. The tradition of kissing under a bough of greenery first became widespread in the late 18th century; but this was as likely to be made of holly or gorse as it was to be mistletoe. The ancient association of mistletoe with the Druids was mentioned in a Christmas short story by Washington Irving in 1819, around the time of the revival of interest in Druidism in England. But apparently its vibrancy during winter and its lovely white berries were the main reasons for its popularity as "the kissing bush."<br /> <br /> Many modern Witches still perform a ritual of the Oak King and Holly King at Midsummer and Midwinter. The Holly King rules the Waning year; the Oak King, the Waxing Year. The two battle each other for dominance at Litha and Yule, respectively. Just as this rite is a symbolic reenactment of the sacrifice of a young male of the tribe, to appease the gods who ruled the seasons; it is clear that Christ, like the Persian god Mithras (also born at Midwinter), is a symbol of rejuvenation and light. In cold climates, basic survival was based upon subsisting from one harvest to the next; honoring the return of the sun was believed to ensure a bountiful crop, and healthy livestock. In the British Isles (the birthplace of modern Witchcraft, and a region bursting with centuries of religious conflict and mystery) many other rites and customs still exist that reflect these "heathen" (heath-dweller, or country folk) ways of life.<br /> <br /> Eat, Drink and Be Merry, or, How Not to Diet During the Holidays<br /> <br /> One undeniable feature of the Christmas holidays centers around traditional foods, and the time-honored "tradition" of feasting (and, in our sedentary society, over-eating). Many of us who celebrated Christmas as children have vivid memories of special dishes (some we loved, some we hated! my own favorites were a rosemary-roasted chicken prepared by my grandfather, and my dad's fried smelt; but I watched in horror as other family members ate calamari or Yorkshire pudding). The sheer plethora of traditional cookies and sweets of the season, from many cultures but especially prevalent in Germany, Italy and the UK, is testament to an elaborate history of foods created especially for the season of Yule.<br /> <br /> Originally, feasting at this season had several purposes: one, to acknowledge the return of the season of growth with eating heartily during a season of scarcity was a way to give physical expression to the hope for abundance in the year to come. Second, in countries where winter meant a very bleak time of inactivity (as in the fishing and farming communities of rural Scotland), a feast was a way of alleviating boredom and depression. Third, the elaborate Yuletide activities of the nobility from the Middle Ages onward gradually developed into status-conscious events wherein households vied with each other for acts of generosity to their communities: for the poor, this meant eating well and receiving much-needed gifts of new clothing or shoes. During the Protestant Reformation, when Yuletide festivities were all but banned, there were still some stubborn monarchs and lords who persisted in their celebratory rites of feasting and of treating their household servants to a fine meal; to do less would be disastrous, as growing levels of poverty meant food shortages in winter.<br /> <br /> As Christianity gradually usurped the pagan ways of worship, the custom of Advent, which is a month-long fast before Christmas, reflects these times when people had to survive eating very little. A "fast" meant no eggs, meat or cheese could be consumed, among the wealthy; the poor generally ate very little meat anyway, and so for Advent gave up other staples, such as cider. It then became a custom to feast on the 25th, and to mark this day with acts of hospitality and generosity. The rich were expected to open their doors and purses for all; this could well have been the precursor to the tradition of helping those less fortunate at the holidays, and giving gifts to those who serve others all year, such as mail-carriers, domestic help, etc. But there were instances when the nobility merely entertained their social equals, not their inferiors, on this day. One poem from this period says:<br /> <br /> "At Christmas we banquet, the rich and the poor, Who then (but the miser) but openeth his door?"<br /> <br /> Until the virtual collapse of the English aristocracy this century, it was still very common to see remnants of these traditions taking place among the rural nobility. For two excellent portrayals of the Christmas celebrations of English country manor homes in the early 20th century, I recommend the films A Handful of Dust (starring Kristin Scott Thomas, Rupert Graves and Sir Alec Guinness) and The Shooting Party (starring Sir John Gielgud and James Mason). The first contains an authentic version of a masque; the second a wonderful exploration of relations between the peasants and the aristocracy,and how this class distinction is blurred during the holidays.<br /> <br /> The concept of feasting during the Middle Ages was naturally different from what it became in later centuries, when advances in farming and hygiene allowed more people to be fed more efficiently. As the years wore on, feasting at Yuletide/Christmas became very elaborate, particularly among the nobility. One common table centerpiece for wealthy households was the boar's head; it was first recorded as being requested for Yule by the bishop of Hereford in 1289. So notorious did this dish become, as it was something of a status symbol to be able to serve it, that there were even songs written in its honor, like "The Boar's Head Carol":<br /> <br /> "The boar's head in hand bear we, bedecked with bays and rosemary."<br /> <br /> As the wild boar gradually became extinct (it all but disappeared from the forests of Scotland bythe 16th century), its presence at the Yuletide feast was more and more reserved for the nobleman who could afford to outfit a hunting party to procure the elusive beast. The symbology of the boar in Celtic myth is well-known; its strength, ruthlessness and intelligence made it a prize among ancient Celtic warriors, as is portrayed among many artifacts and pieces of jewelry and armor from the Bronze Age. It was highly-valued as a food source at military gatherings, wherein men would honor the animal's qualities and invoke them, as they feasted upon its flesh. Its tusks were worn as talismans to confer bravery on the wearer.<br /> <br /> Many royal banquets at Christmas had memorable menus that included huge amounts of exotic foods. Richard II once held a feast for 10,000 people that served 200 oxen and 200 tubs of wine. Henry V held one unforgettable event where a dish called brawn (the flesh from the boar's belly) was the main dish; there was also "dates with mottled cream, carp, prawns, turbot, perch, fresh sturgeons with whelks, roasted porpoise, eels and lampreys, leached meats garnished with hawthorn, and marzipan," among other delicacies. The food was not the only spectacle, however; it was also customary to hire entertainment for these feasts; whether harpers, singers, story-tellers, or minstrels. While the feasts hosted by the wealthy were very opulent, it was also common for communities to organize their own, more humble, events, with church parishes pooling their resources to purchase food and drink, and to hire their own entertainment, or to put on their own productions (this tradition is still very much alive in the U. S. with the traditional "Christmas pageant").<br /> <br /> It is not hard to see how Christmas, over time, evolved into a holiday of excess, centered upon food, drink and fun; and, of course, gift giving. Though the orgy of shopping makes us numb to the true pleasure of gift giving, its origins at this season were based in very simple values of generosity and hospitality.<br /> <br /> Gift giving seems to originate in another December holiday. The feast of Saturnalia (which honored the god Saturn) was long established by the Romans before they invaded Britain, and was celebrated from December 12-17. It was a time when masters waited on servants at mealtime, and gifts of light were given, particularly candles (this may have been in honor of a solar deity for the upcoming solstice). Other traditional gifts exchanged were coins, honey, figs and pastry. Honey and figs were believed to be aphrodisiacs, but also they were highly-prized for their nutritional value (honey is a natural preservative and is believed to restore youthfulness to the skin). The giving of coins predates the traditions in England of handing out coins to the less fortunate, or the opening of a lord's purse to feed his household servants. These Roman customs surrounding the use of candles, and the exchange of gifts at midwinter, shows that many later Yuletide traditions may have originated in the older festival of Saturnalia. It may also be where the tradition of wassailing and caroling door to door, in expectation of gifts of money, arose, but many of these customs developed somewhat naturally over the years out of various practices by both the nobility and the peasant classes of England.<br /> <br /> Wassailing, for example, is a well-loved custom that inspired many songs written especially for the occasion.<br /> <br /> "Wassail, wassail, all over the town,<br /> Our bowl it is white and our ale it is brown<br /> Our bowl it is made of the white maple tree<br /> With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee."<br /> <br /> The term wassail in Old English means "your health." The traditional bowl or cup full of mulled wine originates in the fourteenth century; the leader of a gathering would take up a bowl and cry out "Wassail!" and toast the others; the cup would then be passed on to the next person, with a kiss, until all in the room had drunk from it. Interestingly, some modern Wiccan covens observe this tradition when passing cakes and wine in circle. On another note related to modern Wiccan practice, Hutton also observes that a traditional dance developed that over time that was performed with the customary wassailing carols; and that this dance was performed with a ring of men and women holding hands! Sounds like many a Gardnerian ritual circle I have been to...this is one more example of an ancient folk custom of rural Britain being passed down to modern times and utilized in Witchcraft rites.<br /> <br /></div>

What is significant about Israel becoming a nation in 1948?</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">Ans. It fulfilled such prophecies as Ezekiel 36 and 37 and heralded the soon end of the age. Palestine was a desert land before Israel recently made it "like the garden of Eden."</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">Ezekiel 36:33-35 (ASV) Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded. And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all that passed by. And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">Que. What is the connection between the measuring of the temple in Ezekiel 40 and Israel becoming a nation, aside from there being 1260 years plus 1260 years?</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">Ans. The prophecy of Ezekiel 36 and 37 about the return of Israel to her own land flows naturally into the subject of the rebuilding of the temple in Ezekiel 40. Simply put, Israel is not fully restored until God Himself sits within His temple in Jerusalem. Thus, there needs to be a temple. The temple is the climax of a restored Israel. Note the last verses of Ezekiel 37.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">Ezekiel 37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children, for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">Eze 37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">Eze 37:27-28 My tabernacle also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And the nations shall know that I am Jehovah that sanctifieth Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">Que. Why wasn't Israel restored completed in 1948, including the temple mount?</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">Ans. In Ezekiel's account of the fall of Jerusalem, God's Spirit departs from the temple and leaves Jerusalem in specific stages (beginning 592 BC) and then comes back in stages 19 years later in 573 BC, (Ezek. 8, 40). In the same way, Israel is now being restored in stages --- each stage on a timeframe predicted by the bible. The next stage in God's plan for Jerusalem also happened exactly 19 years after Israel became a nation in 1948: The 1967, Six-Day War.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">The 1967, Six-Day War</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">The next stage in Israel's restoration was the six-day war waged exactly 19 years later, to the day on the 360 calendar, June 5-10, 1967. In the war, the temple mount was captured along with east Jerusalem. Thus, June 5th, 1967, was also Pentecost on the 360 calendar.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">Que. But why 19 years later?</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">Ans. Because, from Ezekiel's vision about the temple (573 BC) until when Israel became a nation are 1260 + 1260 years, that is 2520 years. (2520 days represents a seven-year period on the 360 calendar. {360 x 7 = 2520 days.}) Thus, 2520 years, plus 19 more years equals 2539. And so, from 573 BC to 1967 are 2539 years.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">So, what's important about 2539 years?</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">It happens that seven years on the regular Jewish calendar amounts to 2539 days in both 1948 and 1967. Thus, the seventh anniversary after Israel became a nation occurred exactly 2539 days later on the regular Jewish calendar, (i.e., 1948-1955). And the same is true of the seventh anniversary of the 1967 War, (i.e., 1967-1974). Hence, in God's heavenly schematic, 2539 days correspond to the previous 2539 years back to the prophecy of Ezekiel in 573 BC! (The 1973 Yom Kippur war fits into this scheme too, but to stay focused on 1948 we will not digress.) </span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">Thus, in stage one of Jerusalem's restoration, seven years of years on the 360 calendar transpired from Ezekiel's vision of the temple unto when Israel became a nation. Likewise, in the next stage of taking the remainder of Jerusalem, seven-years of years again transpired, except this time on the regular Jewish calendar. </span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">And moreover, as said, on the 360 calendar, the day on both of these occasions was "Pentecost"  that is, both in 1948 and 1967 -- when West Jerusalem, and then East Jerusalem, fell into Israel's hands!</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">(There are numerous other reasons why the Six-Day War happened when it did. In part, it has to do with the span of time from when Jerusalem fell to Babylon in 586 BC, and the 1290 of Daniel 12, and the leap month, and the symbolic-day-years. But of these things we cannot digress now! Also note that from 592 BC, when God's Spirit began to leave the temple in stages, unto 1948 are also 2539 years! </span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">One final note: On the regular Jewish calendar, the 1967 War began on the anniversary of when Jesus rose up into heaven {Iyar 16}, which was 40 days after His resurrection, Acts 1. However, as said earlier, on the 360 calendar Iyar 16 happened to be the 65th day of the year in 1967, which is Pentecost.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">Here are the words that Jesus spoke, just before he ascended up to heaven on Iyar 16 --- His last words were to 'wait until Pentecost when the Spirit would be poured out'. And the last question he was answering at the time was, 'When will the kingdom be restored to Israel?' </span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">Thus, contained in the last words of Jesus about the restoration of Israel, (and Jerusalem in particular), were hidden two clues as to when it would happen, these two clues were the two anniversary dates of when Israel would begin to be restored in 1948 and 1967.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span style="font-size: small;">(Act 1:6-8) "They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority. But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." (For further investigation, calculate the prophecy and timing of Daniel 2.)</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span></td></tr> </tbody></table> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h3 align="center"> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;"> </span></span></h3></div></div>

As such, it is considered to be a time of introspection, taking stock of one’s life, evaluating one’s actions, and contemplating what one has accomplished during the previous year both materially and spiritually.<br /> Elul leads up to the Yamim Noraim (Days of Awe), a time of intensely focusing on repentance and forgiveness. The Days of Awe begin with Erev Rosh Hashanah on September 24,2017 is also called the Feast of Trumpets.<br /> <br /> 23 September this year is 33 Days after the Total Eclipse 21 August 2017 over the American Continent. Jesus was 33 when He died. 23 September coincidentally also is the exact date of the Revelation 12 Sign. A prophecy, that you can see manifesting say that the woman represents the constellation Virgo and the crown of twelve stars represents the nine stars of the constellation Leo in conjunction with Mercury, Mars, and Venus. The moon appears to be under the "feet" of the constellation Virgo in September 2017 and the sun will be passing through the constellation, which is meant by the woman being "clothed with the sun". The planet Jupiter will be traversing the constellation after having undergone apparent retrograde motion. After entering what can be perceived to be Virgo's "womb", Jupiter exits the lower part of the "womb" 42 weeks later, which is the approximate length of a human gestation (normal gestation periods lasting from 37 to 42 weeks)<br /> <br /> We have to pray for the Outpouring of the Spirit so the latter and former rain can fall now!<br /> <br /> For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, And have tasted the good word of Yahweh, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they impale to themselves the Son of Elohim afresh, and put him to an open shame.<br /> (Heb 6:4-6)<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC5iSwLnEbEnXdBoTuPSYqA5tYzwNxI1ZOjTSrUM2yI815zgNlDD_iwmWTpeknitFQGYwdSk5FFwPZEWgW5cNnukD_6YSrpO2zEjiYkpcMC6zvz7B-HfOz9lroXu8R2Ti-y1tot4X8GcQ/s1600/21762225_1411738342242438_2553495837846926927_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="902" data-original-width="730" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC5iSwLnEbEnXdBoTuPSYqA5tYzwNxI1ZOjTSrUM2yI815zgNlDD_iwmWTpeknitFQGYwdSk5FFwPZEWgW5cNnukD_6YSrpO2zEjiYkpcMC6zvz7B-HfOz9lroXu8R2Ti-y1tot4X8GcQ/s640/21762225_1411738342242438_2553495837846926927_n.jpg" width="516" /></a></div> <h2> <br />Heaven's vaults will be opened, pouring forth angelic assignments to the Body, and opening the gate of revelatory knowledge<br /><br />Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. (Psa 8:2)</h2> <br /> Human Beings are utterly ruled over in this dimension, our needs are extremely meager compared to what we are originally entitled to and yet those needs are seldom fulfilled. The vast majority of the churches in the Western world have already gone apostate, and we are seeing a major push for churches and religious organizations to work together to achieve political and social goals, all Fellowships are there for entertainment and is not what God wants. They are Not seeking the Glory of Yahweh. Not seeking His Face. Not obeying His Statutes.<br /> <br /> But there is a revived Remnant Church of God, raised up as an army with Multiple Powers in the Age to come. But, take courage! The Kingdom of God is also emerging! It’s suffering violence but the violent are taking it by force! The earth is groaning as never before for the sons and daughters of God to present themselves on the earth (Romans 8). It’s imperative to remember WHO we are and WHOSE we are. We are sons and daughters of The Most High God! We move in response to a LOVE song; that’s our war cry, the heartbeat of the Father. We’ve been restored to God, by Love, an undeserved free gift, and with it been given Kingdom authority, all because of the Blood of Jesus and His finished work on the Cross. It’s about our IDENTITY.<br /> <br /> The following 9 Gifts of the Holy Spirit will now be poured out over the Remnant Church. Children will prophecy!<br /> <br /> <i><br /></i> <i>1.

YAHWEH’S NAME

This name appears 6,829 times in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_Bible" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Hebrew Bible">Hebrew Scriptures</a>. But not once in our English translations, not even in the Complete Jewish Bible.

If you study both of them, they are parallel in every sin-gle way except for the Egyptians’ understanding of God. Christians see the Egyptians as being occult. And they were, but it was because their religious belief had become corrupted, with the clear exception of 17'/2 years dur-ing the Eighteenth Dynasty. Priests in ancient Egypt were thought to have a special relationship with the gods. Their primary function was to care for the god they served. Priests did not preside over worship services, read from Scripture, or evangelize; their purpose was to tend to the needs of the gods, not the people.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyhwljjlm2ROoOhVP-ozWuPHy-ixYMcfiMv_Wiz5BEmT3jawuS2sVFo9XGNLqRPlF8nXmnRIHDDF25YNRsGhnK5tlGk28jAYQC1U-A20gu3_eqbQb_960cb6SzI2OWzPC09IOINJ1OljQ/s1600/St._Charles%2527s_Church%252C_Austria%252C_Vienna_-_Gold_piece_high_above_the_altar_symbolizing_Yahweh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyhwljjlm2ROoOhVP-ozWuPHy-ixYMcfiMv_Wiz5BEmT3jawuS2sVFo9XGNLqRPlF8nXmnRIHDDF25YNRsGhnK5tlGk28jAYQC1U-A20gu3_eqbQb_960cb6SzI2OWzPC09IOINJ1OljQ/s320/St._Charles%2527s_Church%252C_Austria%252C_Vienna_-_Gold_piece_high_above_the_altar_symbolizing_Yahweh.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <ul> <li>Aniketos - A son of the god Heraces, named "He-who-wards off war."

So means: "to exist", or "to come to pass”. Also, referred to as “I Am”. Known as the Tetragramma-ton (<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetragrammaton" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Tetragrammaton">יהוה</a> is the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_God_in_Judaism" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Names of God in Judaism">Hebrew name of God</a> transliterated in four letters as articu-lated as Yahweh (YHWH), although there is no “W” in Hebrew, but it helps with pronunciation).<br /> <br /> Until the early Middle Ages, Hebrew was written without vowels. By the sixth century A.D. a system of vowel signs was built up by the Masoretes, the Jewish scholars of the period, to aid the reader in pronunciation. They su-perimposed the vowel signs of the word “Adonai” upon the four conso-nants of God's name. In the First Temple Period, at least until the Babylonian Exile in +-586 B.C., the Divine name was regularly pronounced in everyday life. Although the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) was sounded out by priests in certain Temple liturgies, around the third century B.C., Jews avoided its use, employing instead many other replacements. When reading or reciting Scripture, the tradition was to substitute "LORD" from the Hebrew: Adonai, "God," from the Hebrew: Yahweh, "The Name" from the Hebrew: Ha-Shem, or by some other title. And because the Jews mistakenly would not use His name, it was not translated in our English Bibles. When you see LORD in your Bible in all capitals, it is from the Hebrew "Yahweh"<br /> <br /> The first translation of God’s personal name in an English Bible came out in 1526 when 3000 copies of the octavo edition of Tyndale’s English New Tes-tament were published in Worms, Germany. In William Tyndale’s translation of the Pentateuch (first five books of your Bible). He used the form “Ie-houah.” Over time, the English language changed, and the spelling of the Divine name was developed. For example, in 1612, Henry Ainsworth used the form “<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Jehovah">Iehovah</a>” throughout his translation of the book of Psalms. Then, in 1639, when that work was revised and printed with the Pentateuch, the form “Jehovah” was applied. In 1901, the translators who brought on the American Standard Version of the Bible used the form “Jehovah” where the Divine name appeared in the Hebrew text. Young’s Literal Translation translates as "Jehovah." But, Hebrew scholars will be prompt to remind you that the letter “J” does not exist in Hebrew.<br /> <br /> NOT CONVINCED YET?<br /> <br /> <br /> <ul> <li>The name Yah is recorded over 50 times in the Scriptures and has al-so been replaced by the name "Lord" which we can conclude that the name of the Father is Yah. We see it in "I Am" and "<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_that_I_Am" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="I Am that I Am">HaYah</a>" I Am "HaYah"</li> <li>It worth a mention that the first three of the Ten Commandments deals exclusively with Yahweh and His Powerful Name. In the original Hebrew, the first five Commandments use the name Yahweh ten times!</li> <li>Sounds like “Yah” or “Iah” also appear in names like Isaiah (Isaiah), Jeremiah (Jeremiah), Zephaniah (Zephanyah), Nehemiah (Nehe-myah), Obadiah (Obadyah), Zechariah (Zecharyah), and many other names translated using the ending “iah.” Jeremiah translates Yahweh exalts, Obadiah translates servant of Yahweh, Nehemiah translates comfort of Yahweh.</li> <li>You see, when you say, "God or Lord is the one True god" you could mean any god or any lord. Buddhists could say " Amen! " And the Muslims could say, " Praise God "</li> </ul> <br /> <br /> The Divine name appears about 700 times in the book of Psalms alone. If Yahweh used His name almost 7,000 times in Scripture, I believe He desires us to know it, use it and praise it.<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> Halleluyah. Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh, praise the name of Yahweh. Blessed be the name of Yahweh from this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same Yahweh's name is to be praised.<br /> (Psalms 113:1-3)</blockquote> This and the following five Psalms form what is called by the Hebrews the great Hallel, or praise; which was sung on their most sacred festivals, and particularly after the celebration of the Passover. Isaiah also makes particu-lar mention of His great name. The writing of Isaiah has been universally admired as the most complete example of sophistication and sublimity; and as set apart for brilliance, and for all the “sweetness” of the Hebrew words.<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> And in that day shall ye say, Praise Yahweh, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.<br /> (Isaiah 12:4)<br /> ***<br /> As for our Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts is his name, the Holy One of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=31.7833333333,35.2166666667&spn=0.1,0.1&q=31.7833333333,35.2166666667%20(Israel)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Israel">Israel</a>.<br /> (Isaiah 47:4)<br /> ***<br /> For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my honor unto another.<br /> (Isaiah 48:11).</blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> Doubtless thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O Yahweh, art our farther, our Redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.<br /> (Isaiah 63:16)</blockquote> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: center;"> His name is to be known, used, and praised!

THE SPIRITUAL PROMISE

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"> <br /></div> <br /> <br /> Christ was born of Judah. Promise that David’s descendants should have an everlasting kingdom, and should stand to God in the relation of sonship (2 Sam. 7, 1 Chron. 17; etc) are recorded.<br /> <br /> <br /> This was Never earned, but a gift of grace and an unmerited pardon of sin. There are many prophecies of the New Covenant suggested by the prophets, especially Isaiah and Jeremiah, and connected with the Messianic prophecies <a href="https://yeshuaprophecy.blogspot.co.za/p/yeshua.html">(See list under Chapter THE REDEEMER)</a> In anticipation of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davidic_line">Davidic Dynasty</a>, Yahweh established by Israel's future king, David, the consummation of the Davidic Covenant in the Divine Person of Christ. Thus, the utter importance of Yeshua of Nazareth, of the tribe of Judah and a descendant of David, in whom Christ first manifest on Earth as the Messiah (Luke 1:32; Heb. 7:14; Rev. 5:5) and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Coming">Second Advent of Christ</a> when He is destined to rule the Earth as King of Kings in the Kingdom of God on Earth (Rev. 11:15; 17:14; 19:16). One of the reasons for making a covenant is the possibility of one of the parties breaking that covenant. The Agreement of Redemption never had the possibility of failing in any respect. And this is all part of Yahweh’s pre-destined plan for Jew and Gentile to be Reconciled Through Yeshua.<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in the Messiah by the good news:<br /> <br /> <br /> (Ephesians 3:5-6)</blockquote> <br /> The partnership between Israel and the Bride is central to the kingdom of God, and an integral part of the foundation that was laid by the apostles and prophets, as well as the Essenes.<br /> <br /> Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a moving message to Christians throughout the world for Christmas in 2016. When he said, in part:<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <a href="http://www.charismanews.com/opinion/standing-with-israel/62016-israeli-prime-minister-delivers-worldwide-christmas-greeting-to-christians" target="_blank">“I send you these greetings from Jerusalem. I'm standing in the courtyard of this magnificent International Christian Embassy. I'm so proud of our relations with our Christian brothers and sisters. I wonder for many of you if you remember the experience you had when you first visited Israel, when you saw the Church of the Holy Sepulchre or the Via Dolorosa or the Sea of Galilee or Nazareth. I'm sure it moved you deeply. And it moves us deeply to have this bond with you because we all know that this land of Israel is the land of our common heritage. It changed the story of humanity, it changed civilization.”</a></blockquote> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7oIQXIZbxg0/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7oIQXIZbxg0?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div> <br /> His full remarks clarified some of the many reasons that, despite our differences, Christians share such a strong bond with Israel. Everything Yahweh has done in regards to our salvation is based on one or more of the covenants Yahweh has made in the past. None of these has been revoked or canceled. While many Evangelicals support Israel, it is primarily on a political level with no connection to the Body of believers within Israel. There is much-impaired vision within the Church in the West about this. It will take revelation and a veil lifted of the Western Church to see this.<br /> <br /> <br /> <h4> Church, Israel and Kingdom – comprise the primary reasons for apostolic and prophetic restoration:</h4> <br /> <ul> <li>Christian Churches – All the first-century communities of faith saw themselves as having emerged from, and submitted to, apostolic and prophetic protection.</li> <li>Israel – All of the first-century communities of faith saw themselves connected to and aligned with Biblical Israel and Jerusalem.</li> <li>Kingdom – Spiritual authority in the international Church before Yeshua returns will become government authority in the Millennial kingdom after He returns (Matthew 19:28, Luke 19:17).</li> </ul> <br /> His Family, “all Israel”, a remnant company of Christian and Jews will return at last to the full possession of their Material and Messianic Inheritance. One of the greatest unifying themes of the biblical prophets was the story of the “Lost Tribes of Israel” and their prophetic return also to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Israel">Land of Israel</a>. They were to be restored in unity as the “Sticks of Joseph and Judah” (Ezekiel 37) into the United Monarchy of the Greater Israel that would now be ruled by the Jewish Maschiah ben David (Messiah son of David). This prophetic theme was a story of rebellion, and rejection of the Divine by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Israel_%28Samaria%29">Northern Kingdom of Israel</a>, their exile and deportation to Khurasan in Northern Iran, Eastern Afghanistan, and Western Pakistan, their lost identity as they assimilated into the nations of the world as they “wandered” across the landscape of Eurasia to Europe. Yet the prophets were emphatic that God was always there watching over them, and though they defamed the name of God, He will redeem them for one purpose only; to honor His Holy Name.<br /> <br /> <br /> On May 14, 1948, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Ben-Gurion">David Ben-Gurion</a>, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel">State of Israel</a>. The gift to the modern Jewish State, i.e., the testimony of Christ at Qumran, as revealed in Scroll fragments, was synchronized perfectly with the gift of the modern Jewish State, given by U.N. decree (the second “going forth of the commandment” of Daniel’s prophecy<br /> <br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.<br /> <br /> <br /> (Daniel 9:25)</blockquote> <br /> November 29, 1947 was no random event either the U.N. decree, the hope of the ancient Essenes, and the promise of His Word in the period of a Jubilee. In ignorance, the U.N. was prophesying, and the Essenes Scrolls a (“voice” crying from the Judean Wilderness) bore witness: “Behold Israel, the Lamb, the Prince of God!”<br /> <br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: center;"> God’s ultimate purpose, as always, was the revelation of Yeshua, the Prince of God, the Messiah the Prince, the ancestor of Israel, who would come by Divine Authority to fulfill the prophecy.</h3> <div class="zemanta-related" style="clear: both;

In the preceding verses He refers to himself as more brute than other men, as a messenger that does not understand the Holy. In this verse he utters the most significant prophecy of all time. The sentence starts with a string of questions with their different possible answers, or no answer at all, depending on how you look at it.<br /> <br /> WHO HATH ASCENDED UP INTO HEAVEN, OR DESCENDED?<br /> <br /> Since this is quoted from the Christian Bible, In hindsight, we know today this must refer to Jesus, a man born long after the Book of proverbs was written between the tenth and sixth centuries B.C. He is the only likely candidate since he both ascended and is prophesied to descend from heaven.<br /> Who gathered the wind in his fists?<br /> This is really not humanly possible, yet from context, we can assume it must be some Devine character possibly Jesus (since this was the previous answer) or God His Father. These are generally accepted in Christianity as the only Devine Entities able to do such things, not humanly possible.<br /> Who bound waters in a Garmet?<br /> This could refer to either Jesus or God His Father as explained in the previous point. As water cannot traditionally be gathered with a cloth.<br /> Who established the ends of the earth?<br /> This could refer to God the Father who created the boundaries of earth long before Jesus was born. It may be taken literally in context with scientific knowledge at the time that the earth had boundaries, but also could just refer to the entire creation.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> WHAT IS HIS NAME?<br /> <br /> This question initially seems to act just as a confirmation of the previous answers, yet it implies that the answer to the previous questions all refer to the same entity. Jesus OR God the Father. It presents the reader, presumably a Christian, with a dual answer though, as we saw previously that even to the believer of the Bible, the answers are not the same since one is Jesus and the other is either Jesus OR God. When trying to figure this out, we are, according to systematic reasoning, supposed to return to the previous answers as we logically made an error in their answers. We know the answer has to be the same person? Yet, the first answer is Jesus, the second is either Jesus or God the Father and the Third must be God, since he created the boundaries of earth according to the Genesis account.<br /> and what is his son's name?<br /> This question , the Third in the series is a clear indication that it is referring to Jesus, but it also is a clear indication that the second’s answer was God and not either Jesus Or God. Now we know that we made a mistake in the first question as the first of it’s sub questions has to have the answer “God” and not “Jesus” as we assumed.<br /> can you tell?<br /> So the answers must be as follows?<br /> <br /> Who ascended up into heaven and descended: – God (Not Jesus????)<br /> i.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Who gathered the wind in his fists? – God (Not Jesus)<br /> ii.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Who bound waters in a Garmet? - God (Not Jesus)<br /> iii.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Who established the ends of the earth? – God (Not Jesus, who only came along many years after creation)<br /> What is his name?<br /> Easy one, God<br /> and what is his son's name?<br /> Easy One -Jesus<br /> <br /> Here is our problem: there is a paradox between question 1 and 1.iii and this presents us with a logical error! Either God Himself descended up into heaven and will descend, and so all of Christianity is completely wrong about our doctrine OR Either Jesus, or God was must BE both son and father? The last option Must be that Jesus was the one who was there from the beginning, created the boundaries of earth, holds the wind in His hands, gathers the water in his cloth and by implication Is God in some sense.<br /> <br /> NOW THAT IS ONE AMAZING PROPHECY!<br /> <div> <br /> <br /></div> <div class="zemanta-related" style="clear: both;

It is a proclamation of a change to come that allows the seed of the change to germinate. It becomes an act of creation. It is an announcement of the future, yes, but rather than merely predicting the future, creates the future.

What is significant about Israel becoming a nation in 1948?</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Ans. It fulfilled such prophecies as Ezekiel 36 and 37 and heralded the soon end of the age. Palestine was a desert land before Israel recently made it "like the garden of Eden."</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Ezekiel 36:33-35 (ASV) Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded. And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all that passed by. And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Que. What is the connection between the measuring of the temple in Ezekiel 40 and Israel becoming a nation, aside from there being 1260 years plus 1260 years?</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Ans. The prophecy of Ezekiel 36 and 37 about the return of Israel to her own land flows naturally into the subject of the rebuilding of the temple in Ezekiel 40. Simply put, Israel is not fully restored until God Himself sits within His temple in Jerusalem. Thus, there needs to be a temple. The temple is the climax of a restored Israel. Note the last verses of Ezekiel 37.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">There has been some confusion concerning what I believe about when Ezekiel's temple will be rebuilt. I try to clear up that matter on the forum. Click here. In a nutshell, there will be a temple or sanctuary desecrated by antichrist, and then there will also be the temple of Ezekiel built during the Millennium. Why it will be rebuilt is also discussed on the forum!</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Ezekiel 37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children, for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Eze 37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Eze 37:27-28 My tabernacle also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And the nations shall know that I am Jehovah that sanctifieth Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Que. Why wasn't Israel restored completed in 1948, including the temple mount?</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Ans. In Ezekiel's account of the fall of Jerusalem, God's Spirit departs from the temple and leaves Jerusalem in specific stages (beginning 592 BC) and then comes back in stages 19 years later in 573 BC, (Ezek. 8, 40). In the same way, Israel is now being restored in stages --- each stage on a timeframe predicted by the bible. The next stage in God's plan for Jerusalem also happened exactly 19 years after Israel became a nation in 1948: The 1967, Six-Day War.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">The 1967, Six-Day War</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">The next stage in Israel's restoration was the six-day war waged exactly 19 years later, to the day on the 360 calendar, June 5-10, 1967. In the war, the temple mount was captured along with east Jerusalem. Thus, June 5th, 1967, was also Pentecost on the 360 calendar.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Que. But why 19 years later?</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Ans. Because, from Ezekiel's vision about the temple (573 BC) until when Israel became a nation are 1260 + 1260 years, that is 2520 years. (2520 days represents a seven-year period on the 360 calendar. {360 x 7 = 2520 days.}) Thus, 2520 years, plus 19 more years equals 2539. And so, from 573 BC to 1967 are 2539 years.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">So, what's important about 2539 years?</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">It happens that seven years on the regular Jewish calendar amounts to 2539 days in both 1948 and 1967. Thus, the seventh anniversary after Israel became a nation occurred exactly 2539 days later on the regular Jewish calendar, (i.e., 1948-1955). And the same is true of the seventh anniversary of the 1967 War, (i.e., 1967-1974). Hence, in God's heavenly schematic, 2539 days correspond to the previous 2539 years back to the prophecy of Ezekiel in 573 BC! (The 1973 Yom Kippur war fits into this scheme too, but to stay focused on 1948 we will not digress.) </span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Thus, in stage one of Jerusalem's restoration, seven years of years on the 360 calendar transpired from Ezekiel's vision of the temple unto when Israel became a nation. Likewise, in the next stage of taking the remainder of Jerusalem, seven-years of years again transpired, except this time on the regular Jewish calendar. </span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">And moreover, as said, on the 360 calendar, the day on both of these occasions was "Pentecost"  that is, both in 1948 and 1967 -- when West Jerusalem, and then East Jerusalem, fell into Israel's hands!</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">(There are numerous other reasons why the Six-Day War happened when it did. In part, it has to do with the span of time from when Jerusalem fell to Babylon in 586 BC, and the 1290 of Daniel 12, and the leap month, and the symbolic-day-years. But of these things we cannot digress now! Also note that from 592 BC, when God's Spirit began to leave the temple in stages, unto 1948 are also 2539 years! </span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">One final note: On the regular Jewish calendar, the 1967 War began on the anniversary of when Jesus rose up into heaven {Iyar 16}, which was 40 days after His resurrection, Acts 1. However, as said earlier, on the 360 calendar Iyar 16 happened to be the 65th day of the year in 1967, which is Pentecost.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Here are the words that Jesus spoke, just before he ascended up to heaven on Iyar 16 --- His last words were to 'wait until Pentecost when the Spirit would be poured out'. And the last question he was answering at the time was, 'When will the kingdom be restored to Israel?' </span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Thus, contained in the last words of Jesus about the restoration of Israel, (and Jerusalem in particular), were hidden two clues as to when it would happen, these two clues were the two anniversary dates of when Israel would begin to be restored in 1948 and 1967.</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">(Act 1:6-8) "They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority. But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." (For further investigation, calculate the prophecy and timing of Daniel 2.)</span><br> <span style="font-size: small;"><br></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Interestingly, seven days after Iyar 18, 1967, when Jerusalem was restored, is Pentecost on the regular Jewish calendar.)</span></td></tr> </tbody></table> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h3 align="center"> <span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;"> </span></span></h3></div>
