Amos 3:7
Surely the
Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the
prophets.
The Lord has said in the scriptures that He would do nothing unless He
first revealed it to His servants the prophets.
His prophets are the “eyes” and “mouth” of His body and they are sent to
give His vision, direction and counsel to His people. Vision of the times and
seasons we live in. Vision of the things that are keeping us
from standing fully in His glory and vision of His heart toward his people.
As the
“Day of the Lord” draws near the Spirit of Prophecy is revealing the times and
seasons in which we live. These
revelations have been given by the Lord Himself and are given to those who have
an ear to hear and an eye to see what the Spirit of Lord would do and say in
these last hours.
“The Day That No Man
Knows”
Rosh Hashana,
Matthew 24:36-37
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels
of heaven, but my Father only.
37
But as the days of Noe were,
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
1 Thessalonians
5:1-11
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need
that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves
know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when
they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as
travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should
overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all
the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night,
nor of darkness.
6 Therefore
let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be
sober.
7 For they
that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the
night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the
breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain
salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died
for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore
comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
Many have taught
that in this passage in Matthew when Jesus spoke these words to His disciples
that He was referring to a day that would be forever only known by the Father
in heaven. This is an error. That is why the following verse referring to Noah
is key, because Noah was told when it was coming
specifically at the end. We see in the
apostle Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians that clearly that God’s people are
the “children of the day” and would know the times and seasons leading to the
Lord’s return. This was a specific day
that Jesus was referring to on the Jewish calendar. He was idiomatically
referring to Rosh Hashana.
We know this for two reasons. The first reason
is because the ancient Jewish or Biblical calendar was primarily a lunar
calendar, very different from today's Jewish calendar. The current calendar is
set by a mathematical computation that has been in use for approximately 1700
years.
Hillel II initiated
this calendar due to a breakdown in the previous system. Up to this time the
beginning of each month (Rosh Chodesh, literally Head of the Month) was set by
a visual sighting by “two witnesses” before a rabbinical court. These witnesses
had to be of upstanding character, meeting qualifications very similar to those
listed in the third chapter of First Timothy concerning elders. They presented
themselves before the Sanhedrin of which the Nasi or president then declared
the New Month as having begun. The importance of the sighting of the New Moon
was considered to be so imperative to the religious life of
The coming of the
New Moon was absolutely essential to the structure of the religious life, for
God had commanded the observance of certain days as Moedim, Appointed Times.
These Moedim were also known as the Haggim, Festivals. Each festival had a
specific time it was to be observed. For example, Yom Kippur, the Day of
Atonement, falls on the 10th day of the 7th month (Tishri). If the Sanhedrin
started the new month on the incorrect day, all of
The seventh month,
Tishri, has three inter-linked festivals. The first festival occurs on the
first day of the seventh month, which of course would also be a Rosh Chodesh or
New Moon. This festival is generally called Rosh Hashanah which means the Head
of the Year, and is commonly celebrated as the Jewish New Year. Among most Christians
this festival is known as the Feast of Trumpets. This title doesn’t fully
convey the actual Biblical name of the festival, Yom Teruah,
which means the “Day of the Awakening Blast”. The next festival is Yom Kippur,
the Day of Atonement, and occurs on the 10th of Tishri. Five days later the
Festival of Sukkot begins and is celebrated for 7 days from the 15th of Tishri
through the 21st. An additional day is attached to Sukkot but is viewed as
being separate from these 7 days. This day is known as Shimini
Atzeret, the Eighth Day and occurs on the 22nd of
Tishri. Therefore, once the Sanhedrin has set the Rosh Chodesh for Tishri, the
rest of the festivals could be calculated. Rosh Hashanah stands alone during
Tishri, as well as the rest of the year, as being the only festival of which “no
man knew the day or the hour”. It could only be determined by the decree
from the court declaring that the New Moon had been spotted.
Each Moed,
‘appointed time’, was of critical importance in its relation to the Messiah, for
it is on these dates that the Messiah keeps His appointments with man to
achieve the restoration of man and the earth. In the Lord’s first coming, He
was slain on Pesach, buried on Unleavened Bread, and He rose from the dead on
the First fruits of the Barley Harvest. Fifty days later at Shavuot (Pentecost)
the eschatological (last days) congregation received the Ruach haKodesh (the
Holy Spirit) empowering them to be witnesses as the Kingdom of Heaven came down
to dwell in men's hearts. The fall festivals, likewise, are the appointments
for the Lord’s second coming, each teaching on different aspects of His coming,
and the Messianic Kingdom here on earth.
The second reason we
know that He was referring to Rosh Hashanah is the day that Jesus was referring
to is because of the prophetic time passages in the books of Daniel, Matthew
and the Revelation. Daniel gave numerous prophecies mentioning specific numbers
of days at it related to the “abomination that makes desolate”, the “two
witnesses” etc. We will go through each
one of the time periods and reveal how they interconnect with each other and
perfectly fulfill the scriptures and point to the imminent return of the
Messiah to establish Kingdom on this earth.
“1335 Days”
Rosh Hashana,
Passover,
Daniel 12:12
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to
the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
The 1335 days are
also connected to the 1260 days and the 1150 days mentioned in Daniel and
Revelation. 1335 is 75 more days than 1260. But those days are not at the end
of the prophecy; they are in front of it. We know this because exactly 75 days
ahead of Chislev 15 is Tishri 1, which is Rosh Hashanah, “the day that no man
knows”. That is why those who come to understanding of the 1335 days will be
“blessed or happy” according to Daniel’s prophecy.
The Lord has never
had any intention of leaving His people ignorant of his purposes. Rosh Hashanah
will be when the Lord starts the 1335 days and there will be two intercalary
months during those days. The 1335 days for the Lord’s blessed ones will
conclude on Passover three and a half years later. The 1260 days for the Lord’s
two witnesses will begin on Chislev 15 and end on Passover, 1260 days or 42
months later. The 1290 days finish thirty days later.
As we have stated,
the Lord revealed to us that the 1335 days of Daniel 12 must first of all;
begin on Rosh Hashanah on the Hebrew calendar, which is based on the cycles of
the moon as opposed to the Gregorian calendar, which is based on the cycles of
the sun.
Secondly, it must
begin on a Rosh Hashanah that has two intercalary months in the following four
years. This occurrence in the calendar causes every time prophecy of Daniel and
The Revelation to be fulfilled to the letter in their days and can only occur
twice in the nineteen-year cycle that the Hebrew calendar runs on.
The Hebrew calendar
has in it as well a cycle that occurs every 247 years that causes the calendar
and the feasts to happen on the exact same days of the week as they did during
the ministry of Christ. Both of those occurrences took place during the 1335
day calendar cycle between the days of Rosh Hashanah, Tishri 1, 5763/September
7, 2002 on the Gregorian calendar and ended on Passover, Nisan 15, 5766/April
13, 2006.
“2300 Days or
Evenings and Mornings”
Hanukkah,
Daniel 8:13-14
13 Then I
heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which
spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the
transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be
trodden under foot?
14 And he
said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred
days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
The “twenty three
hundred days”, is referred to in the Jewish scriptures as twenty three hundred
“evenings and mornings” not days. What was being referred to was
the evening and morning sacrifices practiced in the temple. Not a period of
2300 days but a period of 1150 days that would have contained the 2300 evening
and morning sacrifices. We know this from the book of 1 Maccabees in the
account of Antiochus Epiphanes committing the “abomination that makes desolate”
in the temple.
1 Maccabees 1:54-61
“Now on the fifteenth day of Chislev, in the
one hundred forty fifth year, they erected a
desolating sacrilege on the altar of burnt offering. They also built altars in
the surrounding towns of
1
Maccabees 4:52-53
52
Now on the five and
twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Chislev, in the
hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning,
53
And offered sacrifice
according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had
made.
There are two
specific dates on the Jewish calendar spoken of in this passage that are of
great importance. Chislev 15 and ten days later, Chislev 25.
It would be exactly three years to the day of Chislev 25 that the temple would
be restored and the “evening and morning” sacrifices restored. This would
become the Feast of Lights or Hanukkah (Dedication), which Jesus attended
according to scripture. This also
fulfilled the time prophecy of Daniel to the letter.
John
10:22-23
22
And it was at
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's
porch.
The date of Chislev 15 is important because it
was the day the altar began to be erected. 10 days later the abominable
offerings would begin but it was on Chislev 15 that it began to be erected and
the daily sacrifices ceased. Now, including those 10 days, it would add up to
three years and 10 days. The scriptures use the number of 360 to refer to the
number of days in a year in the prophetic time prophesies, as evidenced by the passages
in Daniel and the book of the Revelation which in the scriptural sense would be
three years of 360 days for each year equaling 1,080 days, plus the ten, giving
us a total of only 1090 days. Now this doesn’t seem to add up to the 1150 days
mentioned by Daniel unless you factor in the fact that the Jewish calendar is
based on the cycles of the moon. And in the Jewish calendar there are what are
called “intercalary” months. During certain yearly cycles, two additional
months are added within a four-year period in order to keep the feasts, or the
sacred days in their proper growing seasons. So, factoring for that and adding
60 days for the two intercalary months, it adds up to exactly 1150 days. So, the first fulfillment
of the “abomination that makes desolate was fulfilled to the day and to the
letter. The second one will be as well. And we know that there will be a
second fulfillment of this passage, because Jesus referred to it in the
following passages of scripture.
Matthew 24:14-22
14 And this gospel
of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for
a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye
therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the
prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let
him understand:)
16 Then let
them which be in
17 Let him
which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither
let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give
suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither
on the Sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since
the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except
those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the
elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
So we have
established the 1150 days being fulfilled in 1 Maccabees, now lets focus on the
other time prophesies that Daniel and Revelation refer to and see how they are
interconnected.
“1260 Days”
Passover,
Revelation 11:3-4
3 And I will
give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two
hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are
the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the
earth.
Revelation 12:5-6
5 And she
brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and
her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the
woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred
and threescore days.
We know that the 1150
days included two intercalary months in order to fulfill the
prophesies of Daniel. But they also refer to the ministry of Christ and
the last three and a half year ministry of the “two witnesses” foretold of as
well. We know that Immanuel’s earthly ministry was fulfilled and completed on
Passover. Interestingly enough, on the Jewish calendar, the feast of Passover
is exactly 110 days from Chislev 25, the day on the Jewish calendar that the
1150 days were fulfilled. Those 1150 days, plus the 110 to Passover, give us
exactly 1260 days. This is the number of days the testimony of the two
witnesses will continue, coinciding with the three and a half-year ministry of
Christ. As well, the “woman” of
Revelation 12, which gives birth to the “manchild”, spends in the
wilderness. This is the last half of 70th
week of Daniel 9:25-26
Daniel 9:25-26
25 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.
26 And after threescore and two weeks
shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince
that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof
shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the
covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause
the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of
abominations he shall make it
desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon
the desolate.
Matthew 24:15
15 When ye
therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the
prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let
him understand:)
1 Maccabees 1:54
54 Now on the
fifteenth day of Chislev, in the one hundred and forty-fifth year,
they erected a desolating sacrilege upon the altar of burnt offering. They also
built altars in the surrounding cities of
We know that in the
middle of the 70th week that Messiah caused the sacrifice and
oblation to cease because He rendered them of none effect with His death on the
cross, causing the animal sacrifice to be an abomination that makes desolate.
This left a final 1260 day/42 month period left to complete the 70th
week. This week was reserved for the
time of the end and has been revealed to His people by the dates stated above
and below.
“42 Months”
Passover,
This period of time
is synonymous with the 1260 days. We
know this because only in the scenario that has two intercalary months in a
three and a half year period can there be 42 Jewish calendar months within the
1260 days of trampling of the ”outer court” of the holy city, the New
Jerusalem. The 1260 days for the Lord’s
two witnesses and the beast with seven heads and ten horns will begin on
Chislev 15 and end on Passover, 1260 days or 42 months later. The 1290 days
finish thirty days later.
The Lord revealed to
us that the 1260 days of The Revelation are exactly 75 days less than the 1335
of Daniel 12. That exact date is the
exact historic date for the beginning of the abomination that makes desolate,
Kislev 15. Exactly 75 days apart from
Rosh Hashana, the first day of the 1335 days of Daniel 12.
Secondly, it must
have the two intercalary months in the following three and one-half years which
causes every time prophecy of Daniel and The Revelation to be fulfilled to the
letter in their days and months. This
can only occur twice in the nineteen-year cycle that the Hebrew calendar runs
on.
Revelation 11:1-2
1 And there was given me a reed
like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of
God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without
the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles:
and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
Revelation 13:1-5
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw
a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his
horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was
like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and
the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded
to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the
beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power
unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking
great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
“1290 Days”
The 1290 days are
reserved for the completion of the “abomination that makes desolate” spoken
about by the prophet Daniel and the Lord Jesus. They are merely 30 days beyond
the 1260 days reserved for the two witnesses’ testimony. The Lord referred to
this in the following scriptures:
Matthew 24:15
When ye
therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the
prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let
him understand:
Daniel 12:10-11
10 Many shall
be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and
none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from
the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that
maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two
hundred and ninety days.
The last days
fulfillment of the this scripture will mirror in the
spiritual sense what its fulfillment was in the natural, in the time of the
Maccabees and Antiochus Epiphanes. The
temple in our time is us, His people, according to scripture.
1
Corinthians 3:16-17

We mirror that
temple and the abomination that makes desolate is the erection of an altar that
puts us on the throne of our lives. The ultimate in self-government and rejection of the government of
God within our members. This is
the “man of sin” spoken of by the apostle Paul to the Thessalonians.
2 Thessalonians
2:1-8
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ, and by
our gathering together unto him,
2
That ye be not soon

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there

Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith
the LORD:
33
But this shall be the covenant that I will
make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my
law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
Hebrews
8:1-10
1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high
priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the
heavens;
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true
tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is ordained to offer
gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is
of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a
priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5 Who serve unto the example and
shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to
make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that
thou make all things according to the pattern shewed
to thee in the mount.
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent
ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was
established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been
sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold,
the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house
of
9 Not according to the covenant
that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead
them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I
regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10
For this is the covenant that I will make with
the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their
mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they
shall be to me a people:
Acts
7:44-49
44
Our fathers had the
tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto
Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
45
Which also our fathers
that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom
God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto
the days of David;
46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find
a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

But Solomon built him
an house.
48
Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the
prophet,

Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye
build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
24
God that made the world
and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
It
is the building of any number of edifices and monuments to mankind’s supposed
greatness and his refusal to enthrone the one rightful ruler of this world that
has reached its fullness and caused the hand of God’s judgment to no longer be
stayed. The
Mankind
has begun to erect “altars and temples” through attempts at cloning and
bio-engineering that are an abomination to Holy One of Israel. These have been the final affront to His
Kingdom.
“Three and One-Half Days in Revelation 11:9”
“Passover”,
“Feast of Tabernacles”,
Understanding the three and
a half days in Revelation 11:9 is a key to understanding where we are today in
time. For as the scriptures say, the Spirit of Life enters into the “two
prophets”, commonly called the two witnesses. It must be made clear that
the two prophets, called the individual two witnesses, are distinct from the
two bodies of the “two witnesses, called the corporate body of “two witnesses”.
The two individual prophets that are the fulfillment of the two witnesses
or olive trees are the messengers of the corporate bodies of the two witnesses
for the 1260 days or the 42 months spoken of in scripture. The bodies of
the “two witnesses” are the completeness of the “two olive trees”. It is
these bodies that are lying “in the street of the great city” for three and one
half days.
The two witnesses in their
completeness are the corporate bodies of Moses, who was a picture of the
earthly government of God and Elijah, who was a picture of the true restoration
of the Kingdom Levitical priesthood. As Messiah has
a corporate body of believers, so do Moses and Elijah. Messiah is the
Head of these bodies as well as His own body but the “two prophets” are the
eyes and mouths of these bodies. They were sent to speak the oracles of
God to warn the world of the end of days.
Revelation 11:7-11
7 And when they shall
have finished their testimony, the beast that ascended out of the bottomless
pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies
shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called
9 And they of the people
and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and
an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell
upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts
one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the
earth.
11
And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from
God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon
them which saw them.
When
the message of the two witnesses is rejected by the leaders of the religious
systems and their 1260 days are fulfilled, the angel of the bottomless pit,
Apollyon or Abaddon (The Destroyer), spoken of in Revelation
This is the reason that
these “bodies” will not be allowed to be put into graves. It is also the
reason that these bodies will be seen three and one-half days lying in the street,
which is representative of the world. These things will be happening to
the corporate bodies of Moses and Elijah, the 144,000, all over the
world. Naturally those that “dwell upon the earth” will have no
recognition of what is happening. Those that dwell on the earth are those
that remain in the carnality of this world. They are those who have no
vision of things from above and will be caught off guard by the quickening of
the “sons of God”. It will be during
these three and one-half days that the sifting of the 144,000 also known as the
“two witnesses” will commence.
Everything that is an impediment to the completing of these predestined
“sons of God” will be eaten away with perfect efficiency by the “Destroyer” and
his minions from the “bottomless pit”.
This period will culminate on the Feast of Tabernacles,
After the two witnesses and
the corporate bodies of the two witnesses are cleansed, there will be a
“quickening” of both the individual and the corporate two witnesses. We
know that it was during the Feast of
Tabernacles that Messiah went to the “Mount of Transfiguration” because Peter’s
response to seeing Moses and Elijah speaking to Messiah was to suggest they set
up a “tabernacle” or tent that was the practice during the Feast of
Tabernacles, to commemorate God dwelling with men within His only begotten Son
Immanuel, the Son of Man.
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John
his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as
the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared
unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto
Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three
tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet
spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the
cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye
him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore
afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. And when they had lifted up their eyes, they
saw no man, save Jesus only.
On the Mount of
Transfiguration the Lord took with him Peter, James and John. It was
there that Jesus met with Moses and Elijah. We are given a prophetic
picture of Jesus and the two witnesses, which is mirrored in the appearance of
Moses and Elijah on the Mount of Jesus’ transfiguration. So to will it once again be
this feast that will be fulfilled in the transfiguration of the sons of God,
the government of God sent to this world to bring order to chaos, to put down
all things that offend and oppose the manifest will of God.
Revelation 11:8 also refers to the “great city”. The great city is referred to later in
Revelation as being
Hebrews 13:11-14
11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is
brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the
camp.
12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the
people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp,
bearing his reproach.
14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one
to come.
Outside the city is very significant in that it was a
type of the entire world or the “great city” or
Many have also said that the
3½ days of Revelation 11 parallel the resurrection of Messiah but they have
made a serious error. The Messiah was raised “early on the third day” not
half-way through the fourth day. There is nothing paralleled about these
two periods. These are three and one-half prophetic days that bring us to
the final fulfillment of the fall feasts, represented by the Feast of Trumpets
(Rosh Hashanah), Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), and the Feast of Tabernacles.
It is very important to
understand the times and seasons of Messiah because the spring feasts and the
fall feasts are always a half year apart from each other. So we know that
if Messiah was crucified on Passover, His ministry began three and one-half
years earlier on the Feast of Tabernacles. We also know that if the
testimony of the “two prophets” ended on Passover, then the three and one-half
days end on Tabernacles three and a half years later. The Lord’s plans
and purposes are always marked in the prophetic fulfillment of the feasts and
festivals of the Hebrew calendar.
Revelation 11:12-13
12 And they heard a great
voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to
heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake,
and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men
seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of
heaven.
At the completion of the
three and one-half days we see a great voice calling them to “come up hither”
followed by a “great earthquake” with a tenth or a “tithe” of the city
falling. The slain of men are “seven thousand” (1 Kings
Matthew 11:12-15
12 And from the days of
John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth
violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the prophets
and the law prophesied until John.
14 And if ye will receive
it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
15 He that hath ears to
hear, let him hear.
Matthew 17:10-13
10 And his disciples
asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
11 And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
12 But I say unto you,
That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him
whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
13 Then the disciples
understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
1 Kings
13 And it was so, when
Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and
stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him,
and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the
LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant,
thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with
the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
15 And the LORD said unto
him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of
16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over
17 And it shall come to
pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him
that escapeth from the sword of Jehu
shall Elisha slay.
18 Yet I have left me
seven thousand in
Romans 11:1-5
1 I say then, Hath God
cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite,
of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away
his people which he foreknew. Wot
ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against
3 Lord, they have killed
thy prophets, and digged down thine
altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what saith the
answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have
not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this
present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
The first order of business
for the Elijah company will be the restoration of the “sons of Levi”, who then
shall restore the fullness of the 144,000, the “sons of Jacob”. Both
Elijah and Moses were of the physical tribe of Levi. The scriptures tell
us that John the Baptist, who Jesus said represented Elijah, was the son of a
priest and that specifically his mother
1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall
prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to
his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he
shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
2 But who may abide the
day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a
refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
3 And he shall sit as a
refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge
them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in
righteousness.
4 Then shall the offering

5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I
will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and
against false swearers, and against those that
oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn
aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
6 For I am the LORD, I
change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
1 For, behold, the day
cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do
wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith
the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of
righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow
up as calves of the stall.
3 And ye shall tread down
the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day
that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.
4 Remember ye the law of
Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb
for all
5 Behold, I will send you
Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn the
heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their
fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
14 The second woe is
past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 And the seventh angel
sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this
world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall
reign for ever and ever.
16 And the four and
twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and
worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God
Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come;
because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is
come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and
to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
