Skip down to, SO WHAT IS A WICKED SOUL-TIE EXACTLY, if you do not care to read this introduction again.) 

Dearest beloved and esteemed of the most high Elohim, Shalom Aleichem! (Peace be upon you!)  Once again I find that I am greatly burdened in my heart for the body of Messiah.  This burden is born out of recent events, and circumstances, that have caused me to realize anew just how unprepared / underprepared we are for the days directly ahead.  Why is this?  It is mostly due to our vast ignorance of eternal spiritual principles and precepts, from “The Scriptures”, concerning covenant.  This is nothing new!

“My people have perished for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being priest for Me.  Since you have forgotten “The Torah” (The Instructions) of your Elohim, I also forget your children.” ~ Hoshea 4:6

My primary motivation for writing this is because I have many friends, and family members, in Messiah who are needlessly suffering in their finances and in their life circumstances.  Many compound their present affliction by openly impugning the character of their Groom because they do not understand the spiritual nature of the provision, and protection, we have been guaranteed as partakers of His covenant of betrothal.

 

Hebrews 13:5-6 ~ Amplified Bible (AMP)

⁵ Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [Elohim] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!] v. 

⁶ So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Master is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me?

I have previously written about this covenant on this very blog site.

While it is absolutely true that we live in a world filled with every evil and great suffering, because of the curse of sin and death, which does not automatically preclude that, that is the reason we are presently suffering in our lives.  Most often it is our pride that would much rather point the finger at the devil, this world, or even Yahweh Himself, rather than accept the personal responsibility of our present suffering.  We do not want to readily accept the possibility that it very well might have been something we have done, or even something we haven’t done, which was the very catalyst of our present circumstance.

Unfortunately, pride will even lead us to the delusional belief that which we are suffering, as a result of our own sinful choices, is actually because of worldly or devilish persecution, due to our faith in Messiah.  The greater majority of us are not suffering a “Job” like trial of our faith.  Once again, it is absolutely true we will suffer abandonment, loneliness, persecutions, loss, pain, hardship, tribulations of every kind, and even death for the Messiah’s sake. (Matt 10:17-22, Acts 14:22 & 2Tim 3:12)  However, more often than not, this is not the primary reason most of us suffer in our present life circumstance.  This is especially true for those believers who live in the western world and developing nations.
    

In case you did not know it, we are in a war!  (Shemoth / Ex 15:3, Eph 6:10-18 & 2Cor 10:3-6)  This war is an all out, no holds barred, battle between the Heavenly host and haSatan and his host and they are fighting over us!  (The whole human race and believers in the Messiah in particular.)  Our adversary is over 6,000 years old and does not sleep.  Just how formidable an enemy do you think they are?  I would like to submit to you, if it was not for the mercies of Heaven mankind would have ceased to exist long ago and the community of Messianic believers would have ceased to exist, right along, with the rest of humanity.  It is important to be cognizant of this reality because a certain degree of strategy is needed to wage war effectually and keep our losses to a minimum.  These strategies are taught in our field manual, “The Scriptures”.

Our enemy knows that we cannot be defeated as a result of any direct assault. (Phil 1:21)  This has been proven repeatedly throughout the ages and is recorded in the pages of “The Scriptures” as well as the annals of history.  This only leaves the enemy with one other option; subtly deceiving us, through the prideful wickedness of our own hearts, to inflict / afflict ourselves.  The remainder of this teaching is meant to teach us three of the most effective ways they have done this over the ages.

Yahoshua made, a very specific, promise to us almost 2,000 years ago,  

“I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it ^[a]overflows).”

Is this promise being fulfilled in your daily walk with the Messiah?  There was a time in my life I did not know the fullness of this promise either.  However, today, my wife and I know this promise is true, and we experience the fullness of it, every day of our lives.  This is my / our hope and prayer for you too!    

Question: SO WHAT IS A WICKED SOUL-TIE EXACTLY?

Answer: A wicked soul-tie is any physical or spiritual connection we have with another person that influences us toward wickedness, in rebellion, against Yahweh and His established authority, whether direct or delegated.

Most of us have been conditioned to believe that we are physical creatures that are having spiritual experiences rather than spiritual creations having physical experiences.  Thus, the physical man is constantly attended to and our spiritual man is usually left to be content with the leftovers.  It is for this very reason we must discipline ourselves to regular fasting and prayer.  All too often our spiritual man is left to starve and fasting is the quickest way to nourish the leanness of our souls.

Most of us in our day to day lives have many physical encounters with other people around us in words or deeds.  At some level we are conscious of a spiritual connection with each one.  We leave our various encounters feeling happy, sad, angry, peaceful, confused, fearful, etc, etc.  Sometimes this feeling is because of something that was communicated or the way in which it was communicated; however, many times we experience a change in our thought process because of a spiritual connection we have made with another person simply by our coming into direct contact with them. 

Simply put, a demonic spirit must have a physical being to manifest itself through to become known.  Example: A person may have anger in their heart toward another person and that is a spiritual wicked soul-tie.  When an angry person meets the person they are angry with and then speaks angrily towards that person, demonstrating their anger, that establishes the further spiritual wicked soul-tie through the physical contact.  The same thing can be explained through “The Scriptures” concerning lusting after a person in the eyes versus physically acting out that lust.

There are two very prevalent factors in how strongly wicked or righteous soul-ties effect / affect us for righteousness or for wickedness.  The first is how closely and intimately we are connected to the other person.  The second is how strongly the Set-apart Spirit or the spirit of the adversary is operating in the other person.  Every time we interact with another person there is an exchange of wicked or righteous soul-ties, both physical and spiritual.

There are many examples of both righteous and wicked soul-ties in “The Scriptures”.  We will look at both.  Afterward, I will close with a couple personal anecdotal experiences of wicked soul-tie influences.  The most difficult part of sharing this understanding is convincing the skeptical mind of the ever present reality of soul-ties and their constant influence in our day to day lives.  I should know!  I was one of the world’s biggest skeptics of soul-ties and their ability to influence me when a very good friend first taught me about them a little over ten years ago. 

If this teaching is true the Set-apart Spirit will reveal it to you in such a powerful manifestation you will carry it with you for the rest of your life. (1Yahonan 2:27)

However, once accepted as an ever present reality, spiritual awareness of soul-ties and how they influence us for Heaven’s purpose or Hell’s intended destruction is a powerful weapon to counter every wicked device of the enemy.

There is only one instance the soul-tie is explicitly referenced to in “The Scriptures”.  However, the theme of soul-ties is ever present from Bereshith (Genesis) – Revelation.

“And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Shaul, that the soul of Yonathan was knit (tied) with the soul of Dawid, and Yonathan loved him as his own soul.  And Shaul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.  Then Yonathan and Dawid made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.” ~ 1Shemuel (Samuel) 18:1-3

THE STRONGER THE SOUL-TIE THE GREATER THE LOYALTY 

Most scholars would argue that David and Yonathan’s soul-tie was one of set-apartness and not a wicked one.  I would fully agree with this assessment, however, it should be noted Yonathan’s soul-tie with Dawid caused him to form an alliance / covenant with him which was stronger than Yonathan’s loyalty to his own father King Shaul. 

Without any fear of contradiction the strongest soul-tie in the world is the soul-tie between a man and a woman who have known each other in sexual intimacy, whether in the bonds of the set-apart covenant or not.  In the act of sexual union the two become one flesh (soul).  It is for this very reason the marriage-bed is honorable and undefiled. (Bereshith (Genesis 2:24) and Ibrim (Hebrews) 13:4).

“The Scriptures” are replete with examples of a spouse leading their husband or wife to sin against Yahweh.  Hawah (Eve) led Adam to rebel against Yahweh. (Bereshith / Genesis 3)  Sarah led Abraham to distrust Yahweh’s provision and convinced him to sleep with Hagar, the Egyptian, to produce a son for him (Bereshith / Genesis 16).  Jezebel led Ahab to falsely worship Nimrod (ba ‘al) and Ashterah.  She also conspired with him to steal Naboth’s vineyard by falsely accusing him and having him murdered. (1Malakim / Kings 21)  Hananiah and Sapphira conspired together to withhold a portion of their offering and then lied about it. (Acts 5)

Most of us have never really considered these examples with any discerning of spirit.  Thus, we have never really given much thought as to why each of these spouses where able to convince their covenant partners to choose wickedness over the righteousness of Yahweh.        

It is because of the strength of the soul-tie!  It is imperative we guard our hearts in every relationship even in our marriage.  In many cases, especially, in our marriage!

 “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” ~ Mishle’ / Proverbs 4:23

It is a profound reality that for most married people their number one hindrance, in walking with Yahweh, in the fear of Him, in all set-apartness, is their spouse.  If your spouse is not presently walking, with an upright heart, in the fear of Yahweh, then you better believe they are a great liability and very well could be the greatest hindrance to your walking in set-apartness before Yahweh. 

If your spouse is content to let you serve Yahweh, unhindered, in complete obedience, then we are commanded to be pleased to continue to dwell with them in set-apart covenant. (1Cor 7:12-13)  However, if they desire for us to do anything displeasing before Yahweh we must have resolved, long before hand, to serve Him alone without compromising Truth for peace.  The flesh of an unbelieving spouse, or even of the spouse not fully surrendered to Yahweh, loathes being in second place to Yahweh.  Only if our spouse is also walking in a covenant relationship with Yahweh, as the Master of every area of their life, will they fully submit to the idea of being in second place to Him.

Consider, in every single one of the examples given above the people knew Yahweh Elohim in a personal relationship with Him.  (The only possible exception to this was Jezebel.)  Yet they all ended up making very costly decision(s) due to the wicked soul-tie influence of their spouse. 

WHETHER IT IS A WICKED SOUL-TIE OR A RIGHTEOUS SOUL TIE IS DETERMINED BY THE SPIRIT OPERATING BEHIND THE SOUL-TIE NOT NECESSARILY THE RELATIONSHIP ITSELF.

In other words, what could be a soul-tie for righteousness today could just as easily be a soul-tie for wickedness tomorrow.  It is 100% dependent on if the person you have a soul-tie connection with is presently walking in the fear of Yahweh or not.  It really is that simple.  Since none of us know what is going on in the dark recesses of another person’s mind and heart it is best to guard ourselves in prayer at all times.

 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” - YirmeYahu / Jer 17:9

“They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.” ~ Mismore / Psalm 14:3

“And Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” ~ Bereshith / Genesis 6:5

Yahweh is very clear about the condition of the human heart apart from the fear of Him in obedience to His Torah (His Instructions).  If Yahweh does not trust my heart why should I trust my heart, apart from the fear of Him?  If Yahweh does not trust my spouse’s / best friend’s / child’s / co-worker’s heart, apart from the fear of Him, then why should I?

 

Listen to what happens when we put our trust in another person who is not presently walking in the fear of Yahweh.              

     

“Thus says Yahweh: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from Yahweh.  He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.” ~ YirmeYahu / Jer. 17:5-6

Just like Adam in the Garden, the more personal and intimate our relationship the more we need to guard our heart that the relationship does not elevate to the status of idolatry.  It isn’t just the Devil that wants to be worshipped!  Look around you!  The flesh of man craves to be worshipped and to worship the flesh.  Whether professionally, athletics, music, and other various talents and abilities, in which we excel, our flesh fully desires to be recognized for our accomplishment(s). 

“A refining pot is for silver and a furnace for gold, So a man is tried by his praise.” ~ Mishle’ – Proverbs 27:21  

According to the above “Scripture” what we do with the praises of men is the refining fire of Yahweh’s furnace.  He will try our hearts, or allowed our hearts to be tried, so He may reveal to us if we are for Him or against Him. (Bereshith / Genesis 22)  It is extremely important that our hearts are fully surrendered and committed that He would get all the honor, esteem and praise before it is offered by men.  Not giving Him all the esteem, honour and praise will always end in death. (Mishle’ 16:18 & Acts 12)  

Yahweh promised Hawah (Eve) that the curse that fell upon all women would be the desire to rule over their husbands. (Bereshith / Genesis 3:16)  We’ve all heard the saying “we know who wears the pants in that family.”  This is a direct result of the curse from the garden of Eden!  Every woman must resolve daily to submit to her husband’s leadership and authority, in the fear of Yahweh. (Eph. 5:22)  This is a struggle that every woman must overcome and conquer continuously until the Messiah returns.

The desire to manipulate and control, (usually referred to as a Jezebel spirit although there is no spirit of Jezebel but in fact just a spirit of manipulating and controlling), is almost always born out of the spirit of envy, jealousy and strife.  When this spirit is operating against any individual it is always accompanied by the spirit of deception.  In the assemblies of Yahweh this spirit is most effective when it is hidden by false humility and spiritual pride.  Time and time again I have witnessed the body of Messiah ambushed and overcome with the spirit of rebellion because they did not recognize the spiritual darkness behind the spiritual soul-tie acting against them.

It is for this very reason I have long believed there is no greater spiritual gift of the Set-apart Spirit than the gift of discerning of spirit. (1Cor 12:10)  Many in the body claim to have the gift of discernment this is not a gift of the Spirit.  Most who claim to have this gift are actually operating in human logic and reasoning.  The gift of discerning of spirit is the ability to diagnose the spirit behind any person or thing operating in this present natural world we are all living in. 

It is very evident that this gift is neither coveted nor desired (1Cor 12:31) by the greater assembly of Yahweh, by His favour through faith.  Everywhere I turn I witness counterfeit manifestations of miracles, signs and wonders, counterfeit doctrine and new teachings of every kind.  The spirit of confusion is very prevalent in the body of Messiah.  As it was before so it is again…

“In those days there was no sovereign in Yisra’ĕl – everyone did what was right in his own eyes”. ~ Shophetim (Judges) 21:25         

The spirit of confusion is everywhere…  Why is this? 

Without the recognition of Yahweh’s established authority we are all as sheep to the slaughter.  In every other sector of society and community we recognize the authority that has been established, except one.  We recognize authority has been established in our countries, provinces, townships, businesses, place of employment, courts of law, homes, etc.  Why is it so difficult to believe that Yahweh would establish His authority in our communities of faith?  According to “The Scriptures”, does Yahweh ever operate outside of His established direct and delegated authority?

Now I know that most of those who claim spiritual authority are not truly established by Yahweh.  The reality is that anyone walking in true spiritual authority, established by Yahweh, does not have to make any claim to that authority.  This is why the gift of discerning of spirit is so desperately needed in the body of Messiah!  Without the gift of discerning of spirit we cannot know if the spirit manifesting itself, in our presence, is of Heaven or Hell.

The primary purpose of every wicked soul-tie is to try to influence us to walk in rebellion to Yahweh according to the authority He has established, directly and indirectly, according to His Torah.  Conversely, every soul-tie of righteousness is seeking to encourage and exhort us to walk in the fear of Yahweh according to the authority, He has established, by His Torah (His Instructions).

Just as “The Scriptures” are replete with examples of wicked soul-ties, they are equally saturated with examples of soul-ties of righteousness.  Yahoshua and His taught ones, Shaul and Timothy, Shem, the son of Noah, (i.e. Melchizedek) and Abraham, Ezra and NehemYah, Yahoshua and Yahonan, etc.

In closing I would like to offer up a couple of personal anecdotes that awakened me to the reality that not only were wicked soul-ties real, but they were constantly against us to cause us to stumble in our desire to walk in righteousness in the fear of Yahweh.   May Yahweh be so very gracious as to cause His favour to shine on you and confirm to your heart in the same / similar way.  If you will ask Him to, by faith, with an upright heart, He has assured us that He is no respecter of persons. (Ya ‘acob (James) 1:5-6 Acts 10:34)

As I stated earlier I was highly skeptical of the powerful influence of wicked soul-ties, when I was first taught, concerning this subject, back in the summer of 2001.  Very shortly after I first heard this teaching I found myself struggling all morning long, with a completely foreign desire, to purchase pornographic magazines.  I did not know the source of this unrelenting attack.  However, after struggling with this lustful desire for hours I finally relented and walked over to the local convenience store with $10 (US) in my pocket.  To my great surprise this community market did not sell any magazines of any kind.  I realized later that this store was owned by devout Muslims and the matriarch of the family absolutely forbid the sell of pornographic material as well as most other western periodicals.

I walked back home grateful for Yahweh’s intervention and perplexed and confused as to why I would have this foreign desire overwhelm me like a flood, seemingly, out of nowhere.  I immediately called the man who had taught me about the wicked soul-ties and I explained to him the full account of what had happened that morning.  We ended our conversation with a prayer of thanksgiving and asking that Yahweh would reveal to us the source of this wickedness that had attacked me.

Soon afterward it was revealed that my ex-wife had a very strong wicked soul-tie connection with a man, through her work place, who was a hard core sex addict and he had a special affinity for pornographic magazines.  This soul-tie had transferred through her to me and thus I was afflicted with this specific foreign lustful desire.  Needless to say, after this revelation, was made manifest, I was a true believer in wicked soul-ties and their ability to afflict our souls.  It is no wonder some people refer to wicked soul-ties as spiritual AIDS!

In yet another stunning example, shortly afterward, I witnessed the very same man who taught me about wicked soul-ties overcome with a spirit of deception right before my eyes.  Even though I knew this man to be an honest man who loved the truth, above everything else, he could not help but to lie to me and he actually believed his lies to be the truth.  Unknown to him at the time the two other men in the room were both presently operating in the spirit of deception. 

I watched in amazement that none of these three men could tell me the truth to save their lives and all three men firmly believed they were telling me the truth.  In other words they did not know they were lying even though I knew by the available material facts that I was the only one witnessing truthfully to the situation.  This is the power of the spirit of deception!  We actually believe the lie to be the truth!

The moment I recognized the spirit that was prevalent in the room that day, I simply excused myself, severed all soul-ties with those I had just kept company with, and prayed as I drove home that day.  As I was praying, the Spirit gave me revelation of what was going to happen in the future in regards to two of these men.  I went home and I wrote down everything the Spirit revealed to me in my prayer journal.

Approximately two years later the Spirit confirmed, exactly what He had spoken to me, had indeed transpired.  At the same time it was also confirmed to me, that it was reveled shortly after our meeting, that the two other men were actively entertaining and operating in a spirit of deception.  Through the operation of strong wicked-soul ties the spirit of deception kept my friend from being able to witness truthfully, in complete ignorance, to the lies he was speaking and actively believing to be true.

I could give many more examples of wicked soul-ties which I have personally witnessed, but the reality is you need to receive the fullness of this teaching by the revelation of the Set-apart Spirit to your heart.  Maybe you already have.

May I encourage you, once you have received this revelation, to guard it always and do not let it go.  My wife and I pray often and ask Heaven to break and severe completely any and all wicked soul-ties presently hindering us, afflicting us or affecting / effecting us for evil in any way.  It is simply a matter of habit.  Here is a model prayer meant only as an example for you to pray from your own heart.

Heavenly Father, I ask you to severe and destroy every soul-tie from the wicked one operating in my life right now.  I ask you to set me free from every bondage o external influence(s) in my mind and heart that is not in complete agreement with Your Word, Your Spirit and Your purpose and plan for my life, regardless of who the soul-tie is established with, even my closest friends, family members and spouse.  Let only the soul-ties that are sent from You remain and have power over my life.  Do not let any of the enemy’s plans to destroy me or to destroy another through me prevail in my life.  Let every soul-tie be severed and destroyed that is presently bringing / causing fear, doubt, sedition, lust, envy, jealousy, division, strife among the brethren, deception, pride or any other wicked thought contrary to Your Word!  Please bind me with ties of righteousness to You alone and only to those people which You want me to influence at this present time for You righteousness and purposes to be accomplished in my life and the life of my family.  This I ask in Yahoshua’s name and by His blood.  Amein!

Shalom Aleichem,

In Sincerity and Truth,

NUMERICAL THEMES AND PATTERNS OF "SCRIPTURE" ~ PART 2

NUMERICAL THEMES AND PATTERNS OF "SCRIPTURE" ~  PART 2

http://www.robertarthurmcduffie.blogspot.com/2010/05/numerical-patterns-and-themes-of-bible.html ~ This original study demonstrates how every prophetic pattern in "The Scriptures" will end at the same time.

The bulk of the content of this study was first published as original content in the blog "The Sign of Yonah & The Seventy Weeks of Daniel" 

THE SIXTH SEAL IS BROKEN

Since 2003, I have personally believed that “the star of Bethlehem” would appear again just prior to Yahoshua’s second coming.  Until recently I did not know how to go about confirming this to be true.  Only now, due to widely spread information, which is easily accessible via the internet, I have confirmed this theory is 100% accurate.  “The star of Bethlehem” will appear once again in the constellation of Virgo just 5 days before “The Feast of the Trumpets of Yahweh” 2016!

Below is some of the astronomical activity, between the years 2014-2017, which I believe is extremely significant to us today.

The following celestial events have NEVER happened before in human history, in this providentially foretold sequence and arrangement, and they will NEVER happen again.

2014

A Total Lunar Eclipse (The Moon Will Turn To Blood) will occur on April 15^th, the 1st High Sabbath of Unleavened Bread.

A Total Lunar Eclipse (The Moon Will Turn To Blood) will occur October 8^th, the 1st High Sabbath of Sukkot.

2015

A Total Solar Eclipse (The Sun Will Turn Dark) will occur on March 20^th, the 1st day of Aviv.  This is the first day of the year on Yahweh’s moadim (set-apart feast) calendar.  

“The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of Yahweh come.” ~ Joel 2:31

A Partial Lunar Eclipse (The Moon Will Turn To Blood) will occur on April 4^th, the 1st High Sabbath of Unleavened Bread

A Partial Solar Eclipse (The Sun Will Turn Dark) will occur on September 13^th, the day of Yom Teruah (The Feast of the Trumpets).

A Total Lunar Eclipse (The Moon Will Turn To Blood) will occur on September 28^th, the 1st High Sabbath of Sukkot.

“The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.” ~ Joel 3:15

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:” ~ MattithYahu 24:29

“But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,” ~ Mark 13:23-24

I have an educated guess, why the following conjunction could be very significant, which I will share below.

On July 14th Venus and Regulus will come into conjunction 1.50 S.

I do not have any idea what the significance of this next conjunction might be.  (If you know please send me an e-mail at 7rapturesrobert@gmail.com.)

On August 7th Mercury (the Savior planet) and Regulus (the king star) will come into conjunction 0.8(?).

2016

A Total Solar Eclipse (The Sun Will Turn Dark) will occur on March 9th which is the 1st of Aviv.  This is the first day of the year on Yahweh’s moadim (set-apart feast) calendar.

A Pernumbral Lunar Eclipse will occur on March 23rd on the 1st High Sabbath of Unleavened Bread.  Also, Mercury (the Savior planet) will go into super conjunction with the Sun at this same time.

An Annual Solar Eclipse (The Sun Will Turn Dark) will happen on September 1^st, which is Yom Teruah (The Feast of the Trumpets) on Yahweh’s moadim (set-apart feast) calendar.

A Pernumbral Lunar Eclipse will occur on September 16th on the 1st High Sabbath of Sukkot.

Once again, I do not have any idea what the significance of this conjunction might be.

On July 30th Mercury and Regulus will come into conjunction again 0.3 N.

Once again, I have an educated guess, why the following conjunction could be very significant, which I will share below.

On August 5th Venus and Regulus will come into conjunction 1.0 N.

On August 27th Venus and Jupiter will come into conjunction. (Some say this is "The Star of Bethlehem".  I happen to strongly agree.)  This conjunction will happen in the constellation of  Virgo when then Sun is in the midst of the constellation of Leo.  This sign in the heavens will happen just 5 days before Yom Teruah (The Feast of the Trumpets) 2016. Here is a very cool, short video presentation that illustrates "The Star of Bethlehem" so you can compare the similarities of the heavenly portents when Yahoshua came the first time and how they are going to appear when He returns for the bride in 2016. 

http://www.askelm.com/video/real/xmas_star.htm

As you can see in the above presentation, in the year Yahoshua was born the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter happened twice in the constellation of Leo.  This time it will only happen once in the constellation of Virgo.  Why is it going to happen in Virgo and not in Leo this time?  I believe it is because it is signifying Yahoshua’s return for His betrothed virgin bride of covenant. 

Why is this heavenly sign only going to appear once and not twice this time?  I believe this is because the first time it was to signify to the wise Magi when to begin their journey and the second appearing was to signify where their journey should conclude.  This time the star is only appearing to signify to the five wise virgins to be fully ready, with their lamps trimmed and their lamps full, for their Savior’s / Groom’s appearing.  

In addition, just like Jupiter comes into conjunction or near conjunction with the star Regulus three different times, in the Hebrew civil calendar year, when Yahoshua was born, (from Yom Teruah to Yom Teruah), the planet Venus also will come into conjunction, or very near conjunction, three different times with this same star directly proceeding and then culminating on Yom Teruah 2017.  I personally think these two celestial events are both directly and closely related to one another.

I believe this is the very foretold “sign of the Son of Man”.

“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. ~ MattithYahu 24:30-31

2017

On September 20th Venus and Regulus will come into conjunction 0.4 N.  This third conjunction is going to happen at exactly 5:42 a.m., Yahrushalayim time, on Yom Teruah 2017 and is illustrated in the stunning picture at the following link.  Please study this illustration very carefully and understand its’ brilliant significance.

http://www.davidjayjordan.com/Venus2017.html

Finally, once again, I do not know if this is significant for 2017.

On July 25th Mercury and Regulus will come into conjunction 0.8 S.

It is very interesting to note, I have recently been told, in the ancient understanding of the Mazzaroth that Venus (The Bright and Morning Star ~ Rev. 22:16) is said to ride a white horse (Rev. 19:11).  The last time Venus started its’ full trajectory was in March 2009 and it will end in March 2017, exactly eight years later. Of course I am not saying Yahoshua is a planet.  This is what I have been learned is represented in the original understanding of the Mazzaroth. 

All of the signs and wonders in Revelation are found exactly as described in the constellations. e.g. On Sept. 11, 3 BC the heavens declared the exact picture as found in Rev 12:1-2.  Yahoshua would be born shortly afterward on the first day of the Feast of Sukkot, fulfilling the prophecy , “Emmanuel, Elohim dwells with us!”        

I have recently become fully persuaded that Yehezkel’s wheel within a wheel is the ancient Hebrew Mazzaroth. i.e. the Zodiac.  Each house of the twelve major constellations spans a time of exactly 2,160 years.  These individual houses are the wheel within the greater wheel of all twelve houses.  Yehezkel was a contemporary of Daniel’s.  I have come to fully believe what was sealed up in Daniel 12 is the correct ancient knowledge of Heaven’s original intent when the Mazzaroth was first created.  What was the original intent of the Zodiac?  King David tells us rather plainly.  Will we choose to believe “The Scriptures” in their plainest understanding?

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.  Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.  There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.” ~ Mismore (Psalm) 19:1-3

I am just as firmly convinced that the breaking of the seals by Yahoshua is the opening up of the correct understanding of the original intent of the Mazzaroth once again.  Most of the Revelation received by Yahonan is perfectly understood in light of the ancient Hebrew Mazzaroth’s original meaning and understanding.  For example:  In Revelation chapter six, verses twelve through fourteen we read,

“And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; (This will literally happen in the heavenlies in 2014 & 2015)  And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.  (This happens every year in the fall, over Yahrushalayim, when most of the constellations are no longer visible above the horizon).  And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; (The current Mazzaroth house is coming to an end and the new Mazzaroth house is just now beginning.) and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.”

For the first time I believe I correctly understand how all of this agrees with the full witness of "The Scriptures".  I will explain to you my understanding and all I ask you to do is pray about it and search "The Word" and let the Spirit bear witness.  In the end this is all that matters.

Yahoshua is coming for His bride on Yom Teruah, "The Feast of Trumpets", 2016 (1 Cor 15:51-57).  Only the betrothed bride, who guards the covenant of the Groom, i.e. His Torah (the instructions for the bride), will meet Him in the air.  According to the picture of ancient wedding covenant the Groom will take His bride back to the place prepared for her in His Father's house. (Yahonan 14:2-3)  There will be a consummation (Rev 7:9-17) and then there will be a wedding feast (Matt 22:1-14).  According to the Torah of the Groom, of the first year, Yahoshua cannot go to make war the entire first year of His marriage not tend to any other business. 

Debarim / Deuteronomy 24:5 ~ "When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken."   

In agreement with this picture of covenant the world will be silent and rejoice that all of the "trouble makers" are finally gone.  The world will experience a type of Sabbath year from tribulation and chaos.

Exactly one year later the Groom will return with the bride following after Him to make war with the world and to pour out His wrath!  This will fulfill the passages in Joel 2:1-11, Revelation 19:11-21 and Yehezkel 39.

At this time the wheat will be severed from the tares as spoken of in the parable in Matt 13.  2016 / 2017 is not a Sabbath year nor is it a Yubilee year on Yahweh's true calendar.  However, it will be the Yubilee of Yahrushalayim 1967 - 2017 and it will be a type and shadow fulfillment of much of the significance of Yubilee for the bride as well as a type and shadow fulfillment of the Sabbath year as the bride rests in Messiah Yahoshua. 

Only in a Sabbath year or a Yubilee year would the wheat harvest (from Shavuot / Pentecost) remain standing in the fields until the fall.  Many, many believers in the Messiah, who are not the betrothed bride, who guards the covenant, are going to be perplexed and mystified why they are still left behind in the earth while some of those they know have gone completely missing.

The year of Yahoshua's return to Judge in righteousness and to establish His kingdom is also a non-Sabbath / non-Yubilee year and that is why He can lawfully harvest the world at this time.     

Listen carefully to the Word of Yahweh by the mouth of the prophet YeshaYahu (Isaiah) as he foretells with stunning accuracy the astronomically correct details of this day.

Howl ye; for the day of Yahweh is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. v.7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: v.8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. v.9 Behold, the day of Yahweh cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. v.10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: (the light of the stars that make up the constellations fall beneath the horizon at the end of every harvest season and are no longer visible from Yahrushalayim) the sun shall be darkened in his going forth (the sun will be darkened by eclipses in both 2015 & 2016 on Yom Teruah, however, it will not be able to be seen at all as the brilliance of it will be completely swallowed up in the brilliance of the appearing of Yahoshua, in all of His esteem, when He returns), and the moon shall not cause her light to shine (the moon does not ever give its light on Yom Teruah because all the new moons of Yahweh are when the moon is concealed by the conjunction of the earth with the sun). ~ YeshaYahu (Isaiah) 13:6-10

This exact understanding is also foretold in Yehezkel 32:7, Yoel 2:10, Yoel 3:15.

It is very important to note the Messiah’s exact words concerning some of these signs. 

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:” ~ Matt 24:29 (This will be literally fulfilled on Yom Teruah 2016 & then again on Yom Teruah 2017.)

“But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,” ~ Mark 13:24 (Again, this will be literally fulfilled on Yom Teruah 2016 & then again on Yom Teruah 2017.)

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; v.26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. v.27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great magnificence.” ~ Luke 21:25-27 (All of the signs foretold, by the prophets of old, appear in the heavens culminating on Yom Teruah 2014-2017)

If we are expected to take our Messiah literally then we should expect the great tribulation will begin 1260 days before “the Feast of the Trumpets” 2016.  Counting backwards from Yom Teruah or “The Feast of Trumpet” 2016 1,260 days (Daniel 12:7) we would land on Friday March 22^nd.  This is the first day of spring / summer in Yahrushalayim and it is also the not a Sabbath day, of any kind, thus fulfilling the words of our Messiah as found in Matt 24:20.

“But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day:”

Exactly 1,290 days previous to Yom Teruah 2016, (Daniel 12:11), is Yom Purim (February 21^st -22^nd) 2013, which originated during the reign of Queen Esther.  This is the same day the Yahudim, all over the world, were ordered to be exterminated by their enemies; however, Yahweh turned it all around and gave them a mighty victory over their enemies through a second decree that went out into all the land, due to the intercession of Queen Esther.  These events did not transpire until after Daniel died.  No wonder the true understanding of the numbering of these 1,290 days was hidden from Daniel!  I personally believe these events are soon going to repeat themselves yet again.  I have written more, concerning this very event, toward the end of this study.

Moreover it is more than a little interesting that when you count 1,150 days, i.e. the time period covering 2.300 evening and morning sacrifices (Daniel 8:14),  previous to Yom Teruah 2016, you land on the first day of Ramadan, July 9th 2013.

Now that we have all of this recently ascertained information we can know for absolute certain that the great tribulation is definitely going to start on March 22^nd 2013.  In addition, we can know that the rapture of the bride is definitely going to happen on Yom Teruah 2016 exactly 1,260 days later.  As it turns out everyone, heretofore, has been partly right and mostly wrong when it comes to understanding the sequence of end time events and the timing of the return of our Messiah.

It is the bride, who is the anointed one, who is going to be cut off in the 69^th year, but not for herself and have nothing.  The bride is going to be cut off for Yahoshua, her Groom, and she will leave behind everything in this world in order to gain Messiah Yahoshua.

In the picture of ancient Hebrew wedding customs the groom would go away for a year to two years in order to prepare a place for His bride as an addition to His father’s house.  When the wedding chamber was all prepared then the groom’s father would prepare a feast for the groom and the bride.  Once all was prepared the father would tell his son to go and fetch his bride. 

At this time the groom would fetch the bride and then bring her back to the prepared wedding chamber were they would then consummate their union.  Afterward, they the groom and the bride would feast and celebrate their union for seven days.  The Torah tells us that for one year the groom is to honey-moon with his bride.  He is not to go to war and he is not to tend to any other business.  His only responsibility is to make his bride happy. (Debarim 24:5)

“When a man has taken a new wife, let him not go out into the army nor let any matter be imposed upon him. He shall be exempt one year for the sake of his home, to rejoice with his wife whom he has taken.”

This is an exact picture of what is going to happen when our Groom Yahoshua comes for His bride.  Our groom has gone away into Heaven for almost 2,000 years.  Furthermore, He has prepared a place for us to come and be where He is. (Yahonan 14:2-3)  He is coming to take His bride back to the wedding chamber He has prepared for her and then there will be a great marriage feast for seven days. (1Cor 15:50-58 & Rev 19:6-9)  After this the Groom and the bride will honey-moon in Heaven for one year according to His Torah.  In 2016 the bride will be raptured on Yom Teruah (Thursday September 1^st) and then she will consummate with her Groom on Yom Kippur (Sabbath September 10^th).  Next she will sit down at the feast prepared for and her Groom on the first day of Sukkot (Thursday September 15^th).

After a one year honey-moon the bride is going to follow her Groom back to the Earth to make war against the Groom’s enemies alongside the Groom. (Revelation 19:11-16)  This is a fulfillment of the ancient Hebrew wedding picture for woman / wife, which is that of a mighty warrior.  It will probably be at this time the bowls of the wrath of Yahweh will finally be poured out upon all the earth.  Now we will look at Daniel 9:27 one last time to see how all of this most exciting drams concludes. 

WHO IS THE BRIDE OF YAHOSHUA?

Despite all of the hype, hoopla and confusion over the last two thousand years the bride is plainly identified in “The Scriptures” and there is only one bride.  Our Messiah is not a bigamist or a polygamist as supposed and taught by many in the churches.  Hear and believe the Word of Yahweh!

“And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. v.20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know Yahweh. v.21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith Yahweh, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; v.22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel. v.23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my Elohim.” ~ Hoshea 2:19-23

The entire letter of Hoshea was written to the ten tribes of Northern Yisrael.  These ten tribes alone are the bride of Messiah forever.  Why is this?  The prophet YirmeYahu (Jeremiah) told these ten tribes they were divorced by Yahweh and a certificate of divorce was put into their hands and they were subsequently sent out of the land and not allowed to return. (YirmeYahu 3:8)

However, Yahweh made a way, as foretold by Hoshea almost eight hundred years before hand, that Yisrael would once again be the bride of Messiah by favour, through faith.  This is primarily what the entire Torah commentary by the great Pharisee Shaul (Acts 23:6) is teaching us in Romans chapters 7-11.  Everyone who has trusted in Yahoshua as their personal Master and Savior is the bride of the Heavenly Groom.  They are wild branches grafted into the Olive tree, who is Yisrael! (Hoshea 14:6)

I cannot say it any louder and plainer than “The Scriptures” have already declared it.  The ten tribes of Northern Yisrael is the only bride of Messiah.  It does not matter what we believe it only matters what is plainly declared by “The Scriptures”.  No matter who you are or what your ethnic heritage.  If you have received the Messiah Yahoshua by His favour, through faith then you are Yisrael, the bride!  I have written extensively about this topic previously.  Here is the link for anyone who would like to study this most important subject in depth.

THE GRAND FINALE

“and upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”

Question: What is an abomination to Yahweh?

Answer: Whatever He says is an abomination according to His Torah!

When you first realize that all of the righteous, Torah observant (Acts 21:20) Yahudim, had left Yahrushalayim in September / October AD 66, then you will also realize that the only ones who remained in Yahrushalayim were those who rejected Yahoshua as their Messiah and their Groom.  Is there really any greater abomination than to reject Yahoshua and blaspheme the Set-apart Spirit? 

History records that the Temple at Yahrushalayim became completely and totally corrupted from the harvest / ingathering feast season of AD 66 until its final destruction.  In their zeal to keep up their religious charade they even conducted Temple service(s) unto Cesar in, what amounted to, the ultimate abominable compromise in the eyes of Yahweh. 

When our worship is not in Spirit and in Truth Yahweh calls it an abomination and He hates it!  He makes this perfectly clear all throughout His Torah and Yahoshua echoed this refrain when He spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well.

"Yahoshua said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Yahrushalayim, worship the Father.  “You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because the deliverance is of the Yahuḏim.¹ (Footnote: ¹Ps. 147:19, Isa. 2:3, Isa. 14:1, Isa. 56:6-8, Ezek. 47:22-23, Zech. 2:10-11, Zech. 8:23, Rom. 2:20, Rom. 3:2, Rom. 9:4, Rev. 21:12 & 24.) “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also does seek such to worship Him.” ~ Yahonan 4:21-23

I have previously written extensively, and in laborious detail, about how much Yahweh hates to be worshipped falsely!  He could not have possibly made it any clearer and plainer.  If you are interested in reading this study here is the link for your convenience.

http://robertarthurmcduffie.blogspot.com/2011/12/your-talk-talks-and-your-walk-talks.html

Finally, the wings of abominations seems to be indicating the time period that leads up to and concludes in AD 73, from AD 70, with Yahudah’s last stand, and subsequent destruction, at Masada.  General Titus and the Roman army then made desolate all those who made themselves desolate by rejecting Yahoshua ha MaShiach by refusing to repent in His name and by His blood.

I believe this represents the Drash (hidden) picture best of all.  Only after the bride of Yahweh meets their Groom in the air then, and only then, will Yahweh pour out His bowls of wrath upon the desolate who made themselves desolate by refusing to repent in the name and by the blood of Yahoshua.  The rebellious defiance of Yahudah at Masada is exactly what is revealed in Yehezkel 39 & Revelation 19 after Yahoshua returns for His own.  The nations will rebel and make war with Yahoshua and His people of covenant, dwelling safely in the land, in their final act of defiance proceeding the Millennial reign.

WHAT ABOUT THE WHEAT AND THE TARES?

I have come to believe this prophecy also has two fulfillments attached to it.  The first is the lesser fulfillment which happened in AD 66 and the second is the greater fulfillment which will happen in AD 2017.  Hear the Word of our Messiah!

“And He answering, said to them, “He who is sowing the good seed is the Son of Aḏam, and the field is the world.  And the good seed, these are the sons of the reign, but the darnel are the sons of the wicked one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil.  And the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the messengers.  “As the darnel, then, is gathered and burned in the fire, so it shall be at the end of this age.  “The Son of Aḏam shall send out His messengers, and they shall gather out of His reign all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing lawlessness, and shall throw them into the furnace of fire – there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.  “Then the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the reign of their Father.  He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” ~ MattithYahu 13  

In a type and shadow of a future fulfillment I have come to believe that the Roman armies (Two of the legions were made up of Yahudim hating Arabs!) were the tares which were removed out of the way first in AD 66 that the wheat (Yahudim believers in Yahoshua) may flee Yahrushalayim immediately afterward. 

If the words of our Messiah were to be taken literally then I believe, when He returns on Yom Teruah 2017, the tares Yahoshua spoke of are, in fact, the Nephillim race.  Very strong and overwhelming evidence from “The Scriptures” and from the media elite seems to indicate the Nephillim race has been repopulating in this world since at least 1947 at the dawn of the computer age.

WHO ARE THE NEPHILLIM?

The first time we hear of the Nephillim race is in Bereshith / Genesis 6.  We are told that the fallen messengers (angels) had sexual intercourse with the daughters of men in the days of Noah and they produced an alien hybrid race of half men / have messenger.  These hybrid were the Nephillim race.  This race of half-breeds is spoken of consistently in “The Scriptures” until the last of their kind were killed in the days of King David.

King David famously killed Goliath of Gath, but what is not so well known is that his four brothers were also killed during King David’s reign.  This ended the error / era of the Nephillim race for almost 3,000 years.   

Here is the link to an excellently researched article about who the Nephillim are historically and how they have repopulated and dwell among us again today.

http://www.ryanmcginty.com/fallen/

I am absolutely convinced that the tares, which will be uprooted when Yahoshua returns, are the resurgence of the Nephillim race.  If this prophecy is taken 100% literally then the Nephillim are in fact the actual sons of the Devil(s) first referenced in Bereshith 6!  Didn’t Yahoshua say it would be exactly as it was in the days of Noah when He returned?  Most people do not realize the primary purpose of the flood was to wipe out the half-breed race of Nephillim as well as all of humanity which had tolerated the corruption of all human DNA.  Could it be the primary purpose of the return of Yahoshua is to wipe out the Nephillim race once and for all?  I am firmly convinced this is 100% true.

“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. v.38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and they did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aḏam be.”. ~ Matt 24:37-39

This passage doesn’t really even make sense apart from the understanding of the Nephillim race.  Both Yahudah and his half-brother Yahoshua intentionally correlated the perversion of the hybrid breeding with the perversion of homosexuality.  The ones who were marrying and given in marriage in the days of Noah were the fallen rebellious host of Heaven and the daughters of men!  Could this be the reason why all of humanity is becoming pro-homosexual behavior at such an alarming rate?

 “And the messengers who did not keep their own principality, but left their own dwelling, He has kept in everlasting shackles under darkness for the judgment of the great day. v.7 Even as Seḏom and Amorah and the cities around them in a similar way to these, having given themselves over to whoring and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, undergoing judicial punishment of everlasting fire.” ~ Yahudah 1

Luke records the very words MattithYahu records and then he also records these words as well. 

“And likewise, as it came to be in the days of Lot: They were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building, v.29 but on the day Lot went out of Seḏom it rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed all. v.30 “It shall be the same in the day the Son of Aḏam is revealed.” Luke 21:28-30

The explanation of the Nephillim being the tares is the only explanation I have been able to come up with that not only fulfills all of the prophecies, but also fits the full historic narrative of “The Scriptures”.  In addition, it fully agrees with the narrative of what is going to happen over the ten years from 2017-2017 and then the 1,000 years which follow directly afterward.

WHO ARE THE WHEAT IN YAHOSHUA’S PARABLE?

I am now 100% certain the wheat are the Yahudim, which consists primarily of the tribes Yahudah, Lewi and BenYamin, who will only believe on Yahoshua at His return.

“And I shall pour on the house of Dawiḏ and on the inhabitants of Yerushalayim a spirit of favour and prayers. And they shall look on Me whom they pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son. And they shall be in bitterness over Him as a bitterness over the first-born.” ~ ZekarYah 12:10

“And it shall be throughout all the soil,” declares יהוה, “that two thirds therein are cut off and die, and one third is left therein.  And I shall bring the third into fire, and refine them as silver is refined, and try them as gold is tried. They shall call on My Name, and I shall answer them. I shall say, ‘This is My people,’ while they say, ‘יהוה is my Elohim.’ ” ~ ZekarYah 13:8-9

There at least five very compelling reasons for believing the Yahudim are the wheat harvest of MattithYahu 13.

Reason #1 The covenant bride of betrothal is forever Yisrael, the ten tribes of the North, and not Yahudah. (Hoshea ch. 1 & 2)

Reason #2 Yahudah killed their Groom of betrothal and vowed that the guilt of His blood would forever remain upon them. (Matt 27:25)  Whenever any Yahudim believes in Yahoshua as Messiah by His favour, through faith, then they automatically become part of the 10 tribes of the North, the bride, by adoption (Romans 9:4).  Why is this?  According to “The Scriptures” only the ten tribes of N. Yisrael are Yahoshua’s bride of covenant. (Romans 7:1-4)  

Reason #3 Yahudah, (meaning the tribes of Benyamin, Lewi and  Yahudah, i.e. the natural branches broken off with fire, Jeremiah 11:16 & Romans 11:17-29) will not be grafted back in, as a corporate nation, by belief until after Yahoshua returns with His bride!

Reason #4 Lewi will administer all of the Temple service of the Millenial reign Hekal according to Yehezkel chapters 40-48 while the bride will rule and reign with Yahoshua as Kings and Priests (Rev 5:10).

Reason #5 Daniel 12:1-2 plainly states that some of Yahudah will arise to everlasting life while others will rise only to abhor themselves with shame and contempt.  This is finally understood in the light of the full counsel of “The Scriptures”, the ancient picture of Hebrew wedding customs and the Mazzaroth.  All three of these witnesses are in full echad (oneness / unity), as they rightfully should be, in these last days.

“And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. v.2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.”

I believe the reason this passage states “many of them”, and not “all of them”, will be resurrected at Yahoshua’s first coming is because only Yisrael by faith will enter into the Kingdom of Yahoshua.  Not all that is called Yisrael is truly Yisrael. (Romans 9:6) 

I further believe that only those Yahudim who are the true bride of the Messiah are the some who will awake / rise “to everlasting life”. 

Finally, I believe those who will awake and rise to “shame and everlasting contempt” are those Yahudim who practiced their religion in sincere faith and yet continued to reject their Messiah and Groom by favour, through faith!  As I stated earlier I firmly believe it is these Yahudim who will minister the Millenial reign Hekal (temple) of Yahoshua ha MaShiach.    
   

Remember the prophecy of Daniel 9:24!  Seventy weeks, i.e. seventy years from 1948 - 1917, are determined upon Yahudah and Yahrushalayim!!!  Hallelu-Yah!  Let Yahweh be true and let every man be a liar!  Here is the link to the full study on Daniel's seventy weeks.

http://www.robertarthurmcduffie.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-sign-of-yonah-seventy-weeks-of.html 

There is a very logical and profound reason why Yahudah is called the wheat in this parable.  Typically the wheat is harvested by Yisrael at the time of Shavuot (Pentecost).  However, in the Sabbath years the wheat, which has grown on its own, (i.e. no one will have evangelized them), is to remain unharvested and left for anyone to eat, who passes by, until Yom Teruah of the following year.  Only after Yom Teruah (The Feast of Trumpets) can the wheat, which was left standing in the fields, be harvested by the owner of the field. i.e. Yahoshua ha MaShiach.

Let me be perfectly clear at this point.  I do not believe that 2016 / 2017 is a Sabbath year on Yahweh’s calendar at all.  However, I do firmly believe that 2016 / 2017 is a type and shadow picture of a Sabbath year for several compelling reasons. 

1.)  The bride will be Sabbathing in Heaven for the entire year while on her honey-moon.

2.)  The whole earth’s remaining populous will probably feel like it is a Sabbath year as the tribulation will have ended and all will be strangely quiet immediately after the bride’s departure and just before her volatile return, with her Groom Yahoshua, to make war and pour out Yahweh’s wrath.  From their point of view, the trouble makers will have left and the time to rebuild a brave new world has finally arrived.

3.)  The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) 2017 will mark the Yubilee (50^th) year of the control of Yahrushalayim being returned to Yahudah.  A Yubilee year is always proceeded by a Sabbath year.

SUMMARY

Our adversary has done everything within his power to obscure and destroy the true intended meaning of both the “Seventy Weeks of Daniel” and “The Sign of Yonah” because he knows that all twelve tribes of Yisrael must be grafted into the Olive tree by belief in Yahoshua ha MaShiach. (See Romans 11)  The Messiah is kept up in the Heavens until the time of the restoration of all things. (Acts 1:6-7 & 3:19-21)  Yahudah (the natural olive branches broken off because of unbelief) will not repent and be baptized in the name of Yahoshua until they see they are truly guilty of killing their Groom of betrothal in AD 30 and their covenant of death abides until it is confessed as sin. (Numbers 30, Romans 10:9-10 & 1Yahonan 1:9)

Until we love our brothers enough to pray and fast for their return, with one unified voice, and then show them the evidence of their guilt, i.e. the silver cup in BenYamin’s hand (Bereshith /  Genesis 44), in the fulfillment of “the seventy weeks of Daniel” and “the sign of Yonah” they will remain an adulterous and wicked generation in the eyes of Heaven.  All Yahudim who confess their guilt prior to Yom Teruah 2016 will be adopted into the bride of Heaven and all those who confess their guilt after this time will never know the pleasure of this intimacy and inheritance.   

Very, very soon the Yahudim will be on the verge of total annihilation once again.  All the prophetic pictures I am currently studying, (i.e. the seven years of famine in the day of Yoseph, the account of Queen Esther and the persecution of the Yahudim by Haman) reveal that all of the elect, by favour, through faith, will soon be crying out with one voice, during this time, in fervent prayer, mourning and fasting, and pleading with Yahweh for Yahudah to be saved. 

When this comes to pass many of our brother Yahudah will once again teach from the richness of Yahweh’s Torah(s) and we in turn will share with Yahudah concerning the leading and guiding of the Set-apart Spirit of Yahweh.  Only then, will we, once again, become the fullness of the one man in Yahoshua, prophesied by Yehezkel (Yehezkel 37).  The name of Yahweh and His Torah will be proclaimed in all the world, by the name and the blood of Yahoshua and then, and only then, will the Messiah return for His bride.

Shalom Aleichem,

In Sincerity and In Truth,
