Part 9 - To Number Our Days Aright - The Farmer's Almanac - For Laborers in the Lord's Harvest Field

Series Links: To Number Our Days Aright

Here's a very brief overview of what I have learned about the times and seasons. These things are deeply hidden, as what things most precious ever are in this age.

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. ~ Proverbs 25:2

For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. ~ Luke 8:17

This knowledge and the understanding brought as the Lord gives insight is far more important than folks realize. 1 Thessalonians 5

Some will know when the Bridegroom comes for His Bride, because Noah knew when the flood came. Matthew 24:37

Are you still waiting for the recognized authorities in the church to confirm these things to you? It's not going to happen until it's too late. One of the functions of the church leaders is actually to screen you out, so only the finest refined flour emerges, like the most refined gold. (Matthew 24:43) The Lord Himself has assured it.

Why do I believe the lawless one will be revealed just before the Bridegroom comes for His Bride in April of 2015, and that the Black Awakening is coming this May?

Two elements establish a special week of years on the Lord's schedule, a sign that provided a concrete calendar date, and a fixed span of time counted off from that date. The sign was a celestial sign, like what the Magi of Matthew 2 observed. A description of the sign was recorded in Genesis 49:10 as the words the Patriarch Jacob prophesied as he lay dying, which he said pertained to some time in the distant future. That sign marked Yom Teruah, in our year 1991, providing one notable fulfillment of that Holy Day. The span of time counted off from that date involves weeks of years on the Sabbatical cycle that has been counting off since this calendar began. These heptadic cycles are known as Shemitah. The celestial sign marked the transition between the 856th and 857th Shemitah. The Shemitah count from the celestial sign to the target set is according to a pattern. Count off three and then we arrive, because the fourth is the target! (John 13:38) The 2nd, 3rd and 4th Shemitah in the count began in 1998, 2005 and 2012, consecutively. Now writing in February 2014, we are about 1 1/2 years in to the target Shemitah!

When, during this Shemitah, will the most important things happen? The most useful insight I've received involves a pattern described in Psalm 90:4. This week of years will match the creation week and the week of millennia in pattern. Since we have a description of the creation week in Genesis and 6 days of the millennial week have already passed into history, we've got two data sets with plenty of information to draw upon. If we compare the creation week with the millennial week, the fact that the seventh day of the week is a Shabbat is perhaps most obvious. How is it then with this Shemitah? The same, because the three are of one pattern. Other passages of scripture validate this as structure for their interpretation is thus provided. The most rich source for learning is biblical history. What were the most important events that marked major transitions? When did they happen? How do they transfer or project into our Shemitah - what will happen at those times?

I don't doubt that this will seem pretty speculative to most folks. These things have been documented over many years now, to the best of my ability to communicate. I'm assured that it's enough, that the Lord's purposes are served, with nothing lacking. A farmer works the field, but, the soil, the rain, the seed, the growth - and the farmer - are all in the Lord's care! (1 Corinthians 3:5-7) This activity is very sensitive to the season. Where's the Farmer's Almanac when you need one? Well, in due season, the Lord whose harvest field this is appoints and equips laborers fit for the task and directs the work. He is faithful, who has promised.

On the appointed Holy Days in the Fall of 2019, the character of the work week of 6 millennia will change as we transition into that part of the 7th or Shabbat millennia that many folks think of when they picture “the millennial reign of Christ.” That will come at the end of the Shabbat, the 7th day that is so prominent in the composition of a week. This year that will begin in the Fall of 2018 will be characterized by a kind of rest given to a people and land, on one hand, but on the other, the campaign of Armageddon will be waged. I have written little about that season because my attention has been elsewhere, largely focused upon a crux move appointed for earlier in the week.

Based upon a study of biblical history it is evident that some events that marked major transitions came relatively early. After the tumultuous beginning it only took 1656 years before a major reset came with the flood of Noah's day. Relatively shortly after that came another major reset in judgment relative to the Tower of Babel. The Exodus has been memorialized in such a way that it must be seen as another major transition in biblical history, which happened in the middle of the 3rd day, 2448 years from Adam. Another is marked on our popular calendar as the very pivot of time reckoning, the birth of our Lord. The calendar is only about 1 year off because He was born in 2 BC, on Yom Teruah, on the pivot of the millennia. I consider that the entire season recorded in the Gospels and in the book of Acts is worthy of note as transitional in this context, which compresses down to a pretty short span on the 1000:1 ratio.

Of those major transitions it's the projection of the Exodus onto this target Shemitah that has been the focus of most of my attention.

Since the sign of 1991, the only other events claimed to be signs, as I understand it, come in that season. When the lawless one is revealed, that will be a sign preceding “our gathering together to him,” according to 2 Thessalonians 2. Two gatherings will follow shortly thereafter, in sequence. The gatherings are harvests in allegorical representation. Three harvests in the annual holy day season represent three resurrection events for three kinds of crops. According to the language of the harvest allegory, the first in sequence will be the barley. That's associated with the Feasts called Pesah and Hag HaMatzot, instituted at the Exodus. Instituted shortly after, the Shavuot primarily celebrates the harvest of wheat. It's also known as the Feast of Weeks because the primary feature is the counting of weeks. The counting of weeks and seven year periods is one primary way the passage of time is accounted on the Lord's calendar. Shavuot is directly tied to the waving of the sheaf during Hag HaMatzot, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, by the counting of 7 weeks. (Another name, Pentecost, means the 50th, another reference to the count.) The grape harvest or Feast of Ingathering comes at the end of the week.

The barley harvest is what I have come to refer to as the Bride Theft, because that's when the Lord will come as a thief in the night to steal His Bride. She is the Barley Bride, and He will receive this first ripened crop from the harvest field at the time modeled for thousands of years. Biblical modelings picture this on the last day of the Feast, the 21st day of the 1st month, which follows a mere 8 days after the sign for the Bride, which biblical modelings present on the 13th day of the 1st month. The Bride Theft will be as a sign to those saints left behind, found with soiled robes. They will find themselves in great tribulation and must wash their robes and make them white in the blood of The Lamb. Martyrdom is the order of the day, but it's that connected Shavuot when their harvest will arrive.

Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets. ~ Amos 3:7

He said, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, "'though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.' ~ Luke 8:10

9 He replied, "Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand. ~ Daniel 12:9-10

Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. ~ Revelation 3:3

1 Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6

Before then, I expect the projection of the great flood of Noah to be followed shortly after by the projection of the Tower of Babel. Given the 1000:1 ratio as a basis for the projection, depending on how the end-points align, we're looking at May, 2014, a few short months away. What will it look like when we reach that season that was modeled for us so long ago with such drama? I don't have direct revelation insight and confirmations like what I have received with the Exodus projection into 2015, but what I've come to learn as I've attended to watching over the years suggests a number of things.

The Enemy's cryptic threats to bring chaos in the Black Awakening harmonize with the metaphorical language of the flood. Every indicator I recognize suggests this is truly right at the door. Make note, the world after the flood was considerably changed from the world before. Whatever the specifics, this summer will not be like the last summer or those many before it. You've seen the world in turmoil. Today, it's being reported that Israel may be surrendering Mt Zion to the Vatican. Barry Chamish has long reported how this has officially already been done. Another Temple with a Levitical priesthood and restoration of animal sacrifice as instituted under the Mosaic law may really be forthcoming in the wake of the coming chaos. It's going to be illigitimate, of course.

The trend of national destabilization we now see manifesting in the Ukraine threatens Russia, according to other news I read just this morning. The Arab Spring has sprung. I've been expecting the demise of Damascus in Syria (Isaiah 17) and a brief but intense war between Iran and America (Daniel 8). That's still pending, and when America has her perceived victory, in the midst of her exaltation she will be broken into 4 kingdoms. Out of one of them will come the long awaited savior, a messianic impostor.

Transformation will come via the great flood and tower of Babel projections, producing the world fit for the lawless one to arise like a beast from the sea.

Are you ready?

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds. ~ Titus 2:11-14

Seek Yahweh, all you humble of the earth who have carried out His ordinances; Seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be hidden in the day of Yahweh’s anger. ~ Zephaniah 2:3

13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
