Joel 3 Prophecy Alert: Israel Divided! Dec. 23, 2016
We
do not set dates, we only suggest watch dates: Watch May 25; June 4/5, Sept. 22/23, 2017
Brack Obama to re-appear at a major event in
Berlin on May 25, Ascension Day.
70
feasts of weeks/pentecosts (one generation) fulfilled June 4, 2017 as
prophesied in Daniel 9:24-27.
70 years since UN resolution #181 command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem on November 29, 1947. 70 nations gathered on Sep. 30, 2016 at Shimon Peres's funeral (1290 days of Daniel 12:11). 70 nations gathered on Jan. 15, 2016 in Paris to endorse the UNSC 2334 division of Israel (Joel 3:2). 70 nations "...in Torah terms, means all of the nations," - Rabbi Trugman.
"Look
up!" The Revelation 12 sign continues fulfilment in the constellations.
This heavenly alignment is apparently a unique event in human history
including thousands of years into the future. Jupiter (The King planet with
stripes, a wound on its side, and heel bruised in 1994 by Shoemaker-Levy 9.
Is "shoe maker" a sign?!) began to enter Virgo (the bride?) for 9
months retrograde (gestation) on Nov. 16, 2016. This date is 1335 days (see
Daniel 12:12) after the apparent mid tribulation abomination date of March
22, 2013 as shown below. The Revelation 12 sign is completely fulfilled, with
the moon at Virgo's feet, clothed in the sun, with 12 stars/planets aligning
over her head in Leo (King constellation), and a serpent (Serpens
constellation) with 7 stars (heads) and a crown (Corona constellation with 7
stars) ready to devour the child (new birth of the Church to rule the nations
with iron rods?) on 09/23/2017 right at the last trump of the Jewish Feast of
Trumpets (with Trump as president)! This date is also exactly 9 months after
Jerusalem was divided on 12/23/2016 by UN Security Council resolution #2334.
We
simply provide for you these observations and the following handful of facts
of many more apparently fulfilled prophetic signs to consider. Maybe it's all
coincidence?
In
the Bible, Daniel 12:11, Daniel prophesied that another abomination event
would occur 1290 days after sacrifices were halted. On September 30,
2016, exactly 1290 days after sacrifices were halted on March 20,
2013, a world leader committed another abomination in Jerusalem by striking out Israel as the location of Jerusalem in
the title of their transcript. This was the same world leader who stood in
the holy place about 3-1/2 years earlier, on 3/22/13 (two days after
sacrifices were halted on 3/20/2013), at an event called a "covenant with many" in Jerusalem. There
was a also a rare black moon at this event on September 30, 2016 (Matthew
24:29 "the moon will not give its light").
What
was it that happened in Jerusalem approximately 3-1/2 years (42 months or
1260 days) earlier, that could possibly mark the middle of the 7 year
tribulation on March 22, 2013?
Flee!
(Matthew 24:15-16) Less than two weeks after March 22, 2013 on April 8th,
2013 ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) claimed territory in the Levant
and called themselves Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, aka ISIL. Their
genocidal butchering of tens of thousands of Christians, etc., is historical
so much so that many think Christians could soon become extinct in the middle
east.
What
happened 3 1/2 years or exactly 1260 days before the March 22, 2013 date? On
October 9, 2009 the same world leader received the Nobel Peace Prize (the
7th day of Tabernacles, another day of the year that the people cry out,
"Barak is He who
comes in the Name of the Lord!" And as shown above, this leader's name
means "blessed"). The text of this Nobel Peace Prize document says,
in Norwegian, "styrke...mellomfolkelig samarbeid" or strengthen the
covenant/alliance with many (Daniel 9:27 strengthen the alliance/covenant
with many, Hebrew transliteration: gabar berith rab). This would mark the
beginning of the seven year tribulation period. Daniel 11:21 ...he shall come
in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by flatteries. - KJV
What
happened January 7, 2009, to the day, exactly 62 prophetic years before a meeting of four former presidents to shake hands with
this world leader to transfer power to him? The command went
forth to rebuild Jerusalem by UN resolution 181 on November 29, 1947
(according to Daniel 9:25, counting 62 x 360 prophetic days per year exactly
to the day). Israel was becoming a nation!
Is
the 7th and last trump of revelation about to be blown? Is Donald Trump's
name a sign of the last trump? Has the sixth trumpet already blown? August
24, 2016, Turkey initiated Operation Euphrates Shield. There are four Islamic
countries along the Euphrates River with a total population of around
200,000,000. Revelation 9:14,16 ...the sixth angel who had the trumpet,
"Release the four angels who are held at the great Euphrates
River." The number of cavalry troops was 200,000,000. - ISV
Are you in the darkness or in the light? Do you
expect to be surprised by Jesus return like a "thief in the night"?
1
Thessalonians 5:4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that
this day should surprise you like a thief. - NIV
Contrary to popular belief and bad theology, if
you are a Christian the Lord's return should not be like "a thief in the
night". We may not know the exact day or hour, but we should know when
he is "right at the door". Now that sounds pretty close to being
almost the same thing as knowing the actual day or the hour! Does it not?
Matthew
24:33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right
at the door. - NIV
Do you know when Christ will be "right at the
door"? Jesus said right here in scripture that you are supposed to know
when the time of his coming is, when he is right at the door. Do you believe
Jesus words or are you just following popular preachers' words?
You are responsible to
be a watchman!
Mark
13:35 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know when the master of the
house will return--whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster
crows, or in the morning. - NIV
Luke
21:36 "Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape
all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son
of Man." - NIV
Ezekiel
33:6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet
to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone's life, that
person's life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the
watchman accountable for their blood.' - NIV
If you do not watch, is not the blood of others
going to be on your hands? Is this scripture actually telling the truth?

By Barry Elkin
In the twenty-fifth chapter of Leviticus is found God's
giving of the Jubilee to the nation of Israel.
"And thou shalt number seven Sabbaths of years unto thee,
seven times seven years; and the space of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be
unto thee forty and nine years. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the
jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the Day of Atonement
shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow
the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the
inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every
man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family."
Every seventh year was a Sabbath year and after seven
Sabbath years numbering forty-nine years in all, they were to proclaim the
following year, the fiftieth year a jubilee.
One of the primary functions of the jubilee was to return
every possession unto its original owner. The institution of the Jubilee Year
became the means of fixing the price of real property and moreover, it excluded
the possibility of selling any piece of land permanently.
In verse 23 God furnishes the motive:
"The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is
mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me."
And so the primary object of the jubilee was of course, the
reversion of all hereditary property to the family which originally possessed
it, and the reestablishment of the original arrangement regarding the division
of the land.
Now, lest you think that the jubilee year is no longer of
importance to God if not the nation of Israel, let me give you a fairly recent
illustration.
In the New Testament in prophesying about the coming
destruction of the Great Temple and the dispersion of the people Jesus said in
Luke 21:24,
"And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and
shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down
of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled".
In accordance with this prophecy Jerusalem has been
oppressed by one heathen power after another all down thru the centuries since
Titus destroyed the Temple, took hundreds of thousands as slaves in 70 A.D.
70 AD+1947 years = 2017.
Then in 131 A.D. after the Bar Kochba revolution Hadrian
drove the Jews from Palestine in what is called the diaspora until its final
Islamic ruler, The Ottoman Empire of the Turks.
JA
Note: 126, 133 Sabbath
year (Shmita שמיטה)
Mur 24E Jewish
revolt began Two Sabbatical Years
connected with the Bar Kochba Revolt (132-135). Bar Kochba made a land lease
agreement in the second year of his revolt specifying 5 years of harvest to be
followed by the Sabbatical year. A rental contract, written in Hebrew, dated to
the era of the Bar Kochba revolt (labeled as “Mur 24E”), showed that in the
second year of the revolt five years of harvest would be collected before the
next Sabbatical year. This contract was found among several contracts in the
caves of Wadi Murabba’ (also known as Nahal Darga) in the Judean Desert near
Bethlehem. This property was seized by the Jews during the revolt. They are
dated on Shevat 20, year two of the Kochba revolt. Both Eusebius (
Ecclesiastical History IV 6) and the best manuscripts of the Seder Olam point
to the 16th year of Hadrian as the specific year that the Jewish revolt began,
i.e. 133 C.E
127 490x5 from the flood
Note 240 years removed from Jewish
Calendar in 135 CE
In 1914 WW I began and God caused the Turks to make a deadly
error in judgment having them side with Germany in WW I.
Few people are aware of the divine planning in the
deliverance of Jerusalem and that it was so explicitly foretold by Isaiah about
2500 years earlier.
In Isaiah 31:5 he wrote, (Now read carefully the words that
the Lord our God spoke thru the prophet).
"As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend
Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve
it".
In December of 1917 the British Commander General Allenby
and his army approached the city of Jerusalem held and strongly fortified by
the Ottoman Turks.
JA Note: Psa 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me
under the shadow of thy wings,
Psa 17:9 From
the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass
me about.
Psa 17:10
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
Psa 17:11
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing
down to the earth;
Psa 17:12
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young
lion lurking in secret places.
Psa 17:13
Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the
wicked, which is thy sword:
Psa 17:14
From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which
have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with
thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their
substance to their babes.
A long and bloody battle was anticipated to wrest the city
from the Turks with much damage being done to the city by the British shelling.
In order to gain information about the Turkish defenses he
had two British airplanes fly in low at high speed to and fro, back and forth
over the city.
This scared the Turks, many of whom had never seen an
airplane and to their untrained ears the name of Allenby, the British commander
took on the sound of "allah's bey" meaning god's will and so they
fled their positions, surrendered the city to Allenby without firing a single
shot nor was a single structure damaged.
Now there were a number of British air squadrons stationed
in the Middle East at the time but a particular one was chosen to fly that
mission.
In detailed fulfillment of Isaiah, the Number 14 bomber
squadron of the Royal Flying Corps (Now the R.A.F.) took Jerusalem just as God
had said,
"As birds flying they defended it, defending it they
delivered it and passing over it, they preserved it"
That's a pretty good fulfillment of bible prophecy by itself
but the part of this event that will really give you shivers just thinking
about it is to be found in the motto of the bomber squadron chosen for the
task.
A motto that was chosen two years earlier in 1915 when the
squadrons were first formed. Inscribed on the shoulder patch and painted onto
the side of each bi-plane were the words,
"I spread my wings and keep my promise."
When I first read this, though I do not doubt Our God in any
way, it just seemed so incredible that I had to find out on my own whether this
was actually true or the fanciful writing of someone wanting to put together a
nice story for we believers to enjoy much later.
After all, you have to admit that that scripture coming
together so many years later with that particular squadron with that particular
motto on the planes that just happened to be chosen for that mission IS pretty
incredible.
So with the now ease
of using the computer as a tool of research I was after many attempts able to
track down records of the 14th bomber squadron as part of the Royal Flying
corps.
It no longer exists as such but is now a part of the RAF
since the end of World War I but I was able to find a page of information on it
including its insignia and its motto.
I wasn't that surprised to find that the insignia and motto
bore out the original story but being able to locate it after all these years
was pretty amazing but there was something more amazing that I discovered after
examining it closely.
It was the source of the motto that was just as amazing as
the entire story considering who it was that held the city when it was taken by
the British.
As we all know now it was the Turks of the Ottoman Empire
who were obviously Islamic and had as their holy book the Quran.
Here is what the squadron insignia looks like and what it
says right in the center of the page. Look closely at the writing under the
words RAF Lossiemouth:

Can you even believe that the motto is from the Arabic
Quran? How ironic is that? WOW! Do we have an awesome God or what?
So the city was delivered from the Turks and fell back into
the hands of Christian nations in 1917 but it was governed by the British and
half of it was still held and controlled by the Arabs.
So what has that to do with the Jubilee years?
Well, that event occurred in 1917 and in the following year
the Balfour Declaration was issued which declared its intent to establish a
Jewish homeland in Palestine.
As was previously shown, Israel became a nation when it had
matured thirty years later in 1948 but she still had not acquired complete
governance and control of Jerusalem. It was still a divided city.
Then, exactly FIFTY years later, after it's return from the
Turks of the Ottoman Empire, in 1967 in a war not planned by Israel but most
definitely by Our God, the Jews captured the Arab portion of Jerusalem and
annexed it to keep and so in the Jubilee year of Jerusalem, the property of
Israel reverted back to its original owner.
This has really gotten me wondering what may be in the works
for this next jubilee of Jerusalem
Let's see; FIFTY added to 1967 is, ah.....2017.

The Connection of the First Day to the Eighth Day
The Connection of the First Day to the Eighth Day
Yom Rishon: The Cosmic Beginning
Why did the Resurrection of Yeshua begin on the First Day of the
Week on Feast of First Fruits?
Creation of the Universe between 3983 BCE and 4004 BCE began on
the First Day.
The first day was a new beginning. We have learned that the 8th
day is also a new beginning. The first
day comes after the Sabbath. And the Sabbath is the last day, the end. The
resurrection happens on the first day because it’s the power of what happens
after the end. It’s what happens after Messiah’s end on the cross. And it is
what happens after the end of the old life. It is the end of the earth and a
new beginning of a new Heaven and a New Earth (Rev 21/22). So for all who reach
their end, for all who let their old lives end in Messiah’s end, the
resurrection is the beginning of the end. Yom Rishon is the commemoration of
the cosmic beginning and the resurrection is the beginning of a new creation,
the firstfruits. All who enter it become, themselves, new creations.
All who receive the resurrection, receive Yom Rishon which is
Day One. On this day, the old is wiped away. For before day one, there is
nothing, no sins, no guilt, no failures, no shame. And so all things become
new.
Learn the secret of living in the power of Yom Rishon, and all
things will become new, and every day will become the first day…the beginning…Day
One.
On Day One of creation, on the first day of the week on Yom
Ri-shon, light was separated from darkness, and in the first millennium Adam's
sin separated him from Elohim's light.
Gen 1:1; Mk 16:2-6.
So how does this connect to the 8th Day? Passover
Week is 8 days in length but it depends on where you begin to count. I begin to
count on the day the lambs come in to be chosen which is on the 10th
of Abib.
The lambs enter on the 10th, and die on the 14th. So 4 days have past (Gen 1:14—the Fourth Day)
and also the 4th Candle of the Menorrah. My day begins on the
Sabbath. The resurrection occurred on Yom Rishon. So if Palm Sunday was
actually Palm Sabbath, then there is 8 days and 8 means a new beginning.
So now we change gears to the end. When we celebrate the Feast of
the Lord (Feast of Tabernacles), we begin the Feast with a day of Rest on the
first day (Yom Rishon) and we end it on the eighth day with a day of Rest after
the Sabbath rest. The Feast of Tabernacles is celebrated for 7 days and
creation was for 7 days.
The 7th day speaks of the end and the 8th
day is the day after the end. Eight is the number that transcends the creation,
that breaks out of time… the number beyond numbers, of time beyond time, which
means eternity.
Shemini Atzeret. It means the Gathering (Resurrection)
of the Eighth day. The Feast of Tabernacles (millennium, Messianic Kingdom) is
the last of the holy days appointed by God, the final feast. So it speaks of
the end, the end of days, the end of time.
The eighth day is the very last day appointed by God. Those who
belong to God belong to the Eighth Day. And when creation ends, they will enter
it…the day beyond the days, when the finite yields to the infinite… and its
limitations are no more…the age beyond ages….eternity.
We can partake of the Eighth Day when we live in the Spirit now.
We can go beyond the end…beyond the end of ourselves, but we have to find it,
we have to seek it in our lives, and we
have to ask for it.
Seek today to live beyond our circumstances, beyond the world,
beyond the finite, in the day beyond days, in the Eight Day.
Beyond the World. In a dream many years ago, I was just outside
of the Earth and I looked back to the earth and I saw this round blue globe.
Disneyland had a ride where you could sit and the ride took you from your
starting point on a rocket pad, all the way to the moon and then back to the
Earth.
Lev. 23:39; Rom 6:11; 2 Cor 5:1-6; Rev 20:11. Rev 21, Rev 22.
This world began with the Schchinah glory of God on day one
where light separated from darkness and in the first millennium, Adam's sin
separated him from Elohim's light. In the end, we who are with the Messiah are
given a new body, possibly a body of light. The world began with light, and
ends metaphorically as light. Hmmm! Very interesting thought. Only time will
tell.

Libation of Water Ceremony and the Connection to 2017
Libation of Water
Ceremony and the Connection to 2017
During the Festival of Sukkot, a special ceremony took place every day in the Holy Temple, known as the Festival of the Water Libation.
Each morning of the festival, during the daily sacrifice, water was poured onto the altar in a special joyous service.
At the foothills of Mount Moriah, down below in the City of David, flows a natural spring called Shiloach. This spring is ancient, and as it is located literally in the shadow of the Holy Temple, it has always had spiritual significance for Israel. It is the original source of Jerusalem's water.
Every day of the festival, the priests descended down to the Shiloach, accompanied by all the congregation assembled in the Temple. There, they filled a golden flask with 3 lug (about 1/2 liter) of the pure water. Ascending back up, carrying the flask with song and elation with that singular feeling that comes only from fulfilling the Holy One's will, the gathering entered back into the Temple through the Water Gate, one of the gates on the southern side of the court (it received its name on account of this event-Mishna Shekalim 6, 3). As they entered the gate, their steps were greeted by the sound of trumpets and shofar-blasts, in fulfillment of the prophet Isaiah's words (12:3) "With joy you shall draw water out of the wells of salvation."
Once in the Temple, the priest who had the honor of performing this service now carries the golden flask up the altar ramp. At the top, he turns to his left. Since the ramp is located at the south side of the altar, this means that the cohen now faces the southwest corner; it is here that the libations were poured. Here at this corner, two silver cups were fixed on the top of the altar, sitting next to each other. The one further east received the wine libations which are poured out every day at the time of the daily tamid sacrifice; the other was designated for this service, which took place on exculsively on Sukkot.
"With joy you shall draw water out of the wells of salvation" (Isaiah 12:3).
Based on this verse, the drawing of water from the Shiloach spring and its libation upon the altar of G-d was accompanied by great rejoicing and celebration in the Holy Temple. In fact, this joy was so immense, and the celebrations so uplifting, that the sages of Israel emphatically stated: "Whoever has never seen the celebrations of the Festival of the Water Libation-has never experienced true joy in his life" (ibid. 5, 1).
The House Of The Water Drawing
The Water Libation Ceremony, known
as Nissuch Ha-Mayim in Hebrew, was one of the most popular parts of the
celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles. This ceremony followed the daily
sacrifices. It is no longer practiced today but it was being practiced during
the Second Temple era and during the time of Jesus Christ. Jesus used this
ceremony to make a bold statement.
Description Of Ceremony:
One reason the water libation ritual
was so popular in Second Temple days was the accompanying ceremony of the water
drawing, which took place at night when water was drawn from Siloam for the
next morning's water libation. Each day for seven consecutive days a priest
would walk up a ramp leading to the bronze altar located in the Temple Court
and pour a jug full of water into a bowl that drained into the altar.The ceremony of the water drawing was a jubilant occasion. The Mishna states, "He that has never seen the joy of the [ceremony of the water drawing] has never in his life seen joy." (Sukkah 51a) As the ceremony took place, Levite's played lyres, trumpets, harps, cymbals, and other instruments, while other Levite's sang. In the Temple area, three golden candlesticks nearly 75 feet high were lit by young boys climbing tall ladders, and the light from these candlesticks could be seen throughout all Jerusalem. Respected men of faith danced and sang in front of these candlesticks while carrying burning torches. As the ceremony progressed through the night, the priest blew the shofar three times. In the manner of the text of Isaiah 12:3, "Therefore, with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation," the evening was characterized by exuberant joy. It was a wonderful occasion that no one wanted to miss.
Sometimes Rabbis would perform acrobats and juggle flaming touches as part of the festivities.
Some interpreted the passage in Deuteronomy 14:26 to mean it was good to spend one's tithe money on food or liquor or whatever delicacies one might desire for the purpose of eating and rejoicing in the presence of the Lord.
Significance Of Ceremony:
It is important to know something
about this water. It was taken from a spring just east of Jerusalem called the
Spring of Gihon. This spring may have been used to anoint David's son, Solomon,
King of Israel (1 Kings 1:45). King Hezekiah later redirected the water of this
spring into the city of Jerusalem through a long underground conduit known as
Hezekiah's Tunnel. Within the walls of Jerusalem, the waters of Gihon ran into
a pool named the Pool of Siloam.Waters from the pool of Siloam were used in the ordinance of the red heifer described in Numbers 19, where Moses was instructed to mix "running" (lit. living) water with the ashes of the red heifer. The water had to be fresh, able to give life, not stagnant. This mixture of water and ashes was sprinkled on those who had become unclean to purify them. This same Pool of Siloam is also referred to in the New Testament.
It was to this pool that the Lord Jesus sent a man, blind from birth, to wash off the clay that He had applied to the man's eyes. After washing in the pool, the man received his sight (John 9:6-7).
The Pool of Siloam not only held historical significance, but in Jewish tradition it also had a prophetic connotation. First, the Jewish Scriptures speak of a time when, like water poured "upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground," God will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh (Isaiah 44:3). Because the waters of Siloam were used to anoint the kings of the house of David, and that anointing was symbolic of the Holy Spirit coming upon an individual (1 Sam. 16:13), the living waters of Siloam became associated with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Second, this outpouring is to take place during the days of the Messiah, the anointed one, a descendant of King David, through whom salvation will come to Israel. Based on Isaiah 12:3, the Pool of Siloam became known as the "well of salvation" and was associated with the messianic age. Thus, to the Jewish people of the Second Temple days, pouring water on the altar at the Feast of Tabernacles was symbolic of the Holy Spirit poured out during the days of the Messiah.
This custom became a controversial issue between the Sadducees and the Pharisees. When Alexander Jannai, who was both king and high priest and a follower of the Sadducees, publicly refused to pour the water on the altar, the congregation became so enraged that it pelted him with etrogim (fruit) (Sukkah 48b, Antiquities 13.13) In the aftermath of this incident, he is said to have massacred more than 6,000 of his fellow Jews. This occurred approximately 95 B.C.
Messiah In The Water Libation Ceremony:
Finally, on what was probably the
last day of the feast known as Hoshana
Raba,(May have occurred one day later on Shemini
Atzeret) the climax of the entire week, Jesus made what some
believe to be His greatest proclamation. On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."(John 7:37-38)
This was no statement secretly whispered in the dark corner. The text says that Jesus "stood" to make His announcement, and He "cried" meaning He spoke with a loud voice. He wanted everyone to hear the good news. The stunned crowd did hear and they knew what He meant.
Jesus was declaring that He was Messiah and that everyone who would believe in Him would receive the gift or indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the "living water," not measured in terms of a trickling spring, the Spring of Gihon, but a flowing river-even numerous rivers!
Jesus was saying in effect "I am the reality that the water in this ceremony symbolizes-the true life giver through whom the Holy Spirit is also given."
Some may have also been familiar with Ezekiel's prophecy of the Holy Spirit (Ezek. 36:24-27).
Even though this ceremony is not practiced today because there is no temple, the liturgy can still be found in some Jewish prayer books. One prayer said during the Sukkot holiday reads
"Please God! Those who pour water before you, from the springs of salvation may they draw water, save now and bring salvation now.
When the Temple in Jerusalem stood, a unique service was performed every morning throughout the Sukkot holiday: the Nisuch ha-Mayim (lit. "Pouring of the water") or Water Libation Ceremony. According to the Talmud, Sukkot is the time of year in which God judges the world for rainfall; therefore this ceremony, like the taking of the Four Species, invokes God's blessing for rain in its proper time. The water for the libation ceremony was drawn from the Pool of Siloam (Hebrew: Breikhat HaShiloah) in the City of David and carried up the Jerusalem pilgrim road to the Temple. The joy that accompanied this procedure was palpable. (This is the source for the verse in Isaiah: "And you shall draw waters with joy from the wells of salvation" (Isa. 12:3).
Afterwards, every night in the outer Temple courtyard, tens of thousands of spectators would gather to watch the Simchat Beit HaShoeivah (Rejoicing at the Place of the Water-Drawing), as the most pious members of the community danced and sang songs of praise to God. The dancers would carry lit torches, and were accompanied by the harps, lyres, cymbals and trumpets of the Levites. According to the Mishnah, (Tractate Sukkah), "He who has not seen the rejoicing at the Place of the Water-Drawing has never seen rejoicing in his life." Throughout Sukkot, the city of Jerusalem teemed with Jewish families who came on the holiday pilgrimage and joined together for feasting and Torah study. A partition separating men and women was erected for this occasion.
But this is only the
beginning of the story. The water of Libation ceremony took place for Yeshua on
the 7th Day of Feast of Tabernacles.
Joh 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and
cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
Joh 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture
hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
The year was 27-30
CE.

The last Day of the

Miracle of the Sun 1917
en.wikipedia/wiki/Miracle of the Sun 1917;
skeptoid.com/episode.php?id=4110#bottom; www.paranormal-encyclopedia.com/u/ufo/sightings/1917/fatima.html. The Miracle of the Sun (Portuguese: O Milagre do Sol) was an event which
occurred on 13 October 1917, attended by 30,000 to 100,000 people gathered near
Fátima, Portugal.
The sun then turned blood red in
color and seemed to fall from the sky and hurl itself towards the earth.
Firstly let us observe the
spectacular nature of this miracle. We must turn to the Old Testament to find
similar prodigies that were performed in front of an immense crowd of people:
such as the manifestation of God to Moses and to the Hebrew people on Mount
Sinai (Ex 19); or when Joshua stopped the sun and the moon from advancing so
that nightfall would not prevent the Jews from exterminating the enemies of
Yahweh (Jos 10).
I will put enmities between thee
[the snake] and the Woman [the Virgin Mary], and between thy seed and her seed
[Our Lord; the Church]: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait
for her heel [the persecutions of the Church] (Gen 3:15).
This miracle occurred on a
Sabbath and it was on the fourth Sabbath of the month according to
Torahcalendar.com. Today the Parashah is
Bereshit which means "In the Beginning." Bereshit is also the Hebrew
name for the book of Genesis. Today is Shabbat Mevarekhin which means
"Sabbath of Blessing." It is the last Sabbath before the new moon.
Torah Reading: Genesis 1:1-6:8 Haftarahs Reading: Isaiah 42:5-43:11. Number 7
means completion. The fourth Saturday sabbath is interesting in the fact that
it ties into the fourth day of Genesis. Genesis 1:14: The Sun, Moon, and Stars
is for signs and seasons. It was also the 7th Sabbath of the month. One hundred
years later will be October 13th 2017 and it is on the last annual Sabbath of
Feast of Tabernacles on Shemini Atzeret (Leviticus 23:36b; Numbers 29:35) on
the sixth day. Today is Shemini Atzeret or the "Eighth Day Solemn
Assembly." Shemini Atzeret is a Sabbath day separate and distinct from
Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles. It is an appointed time the day after Sukkot on
which Israel assembles. One tradition says Jacob married Rachel on this day.
Torah Deuteronomy 14:22-16:17; Haftarahs 1 Kings 8:54-66; Extra Readings
Numbers 29:35-30:1. Since this is the solemn day of Assembly for Israel, it
will be in the Messianic Kingdom for them and it will be a new beginning for
one and all. This is the sixth sabbath of the month and 3rd annual sabbath.
Shemini Atzeret ties into the end of the
universe and the globe in 3015. Why because this ties into Revelation 21/22: A
New Heaven and a new earth which ties back in Matthew 24:35 Heaven and Earth
shall pass away but my words shall never pass away.
The connection is on
the Eighth Day. In Hebrew, numbers are important Bullinger and Numbers. The
number eight means a new beginning.

Marriage Covenant, Covenant of Peace (Shalom)(Millennium) in Virgo in a line.
Sept. 27, Venus was at its greatest brillance. If you could zoom high above the
plane of the solar system right now and look down over the planetary scene,
you’d see that Saturn, the Sun, Earth, Jupiter and Uranus are in an
approximately straight line. Mars, Mercury, Venus (all in Virgo) and Neptune
are either not quite in alignment or well off to one side, so I’ve excluded
them from the illustration. astrobob.areavoices.com/2010/09/ Hoshanah Rabbah/Day
of Salvation/Judgment is Delivered. One of G-d’s names is Eh-e-yeh (Aleph, Hey,
Yud, Hey) which is the numerical value (Gematria) 21. This name of G-d
signifies Teshuva – repentence, as if to say that “I will be” someone else. I
will now work harder to fulfill the will of Hashem; I will now remove my
self-centered, egotistical interest to nullify my will to do the will of
Hashem. Scripture References: Ps 118:25-26; Jh 7:37-39; Isa 12:3; Jn 14:13-14;
Matt 5:6; Ps 114:8 This day was the day before Shemini Atzeret (Sukkot 22, Sat.
Oct 1). “Shemini” means eighth, while “Atzeret” means gathering or assembly. It
comes from the Hebrew root “atzar” meaning “to hold back” or to “tarry”. On
this day began the 7 year tribulation. In Hebrew we call it Covenant. Daniel
9:27 began. God uses covenants between God and man. Daniel 9:27 is a covenant
agreement. In April? (2014), the antichrist is going to break it.
