Bereans

This post is to introduce perspective:

As Bereans, we study and share what we learn, although we don’t normally consider ourselves to be teachers or prophets. But, in these last days, some of us have become end-times watchers for Jesus Christ. Our Lord and Savior has confirmed that this is the role for me, most recently via the Holy Spirit who gave me a visual confirmation after my very strong prayers – asking what I should be doing for Jesus Christ right then; Without delay, an image of a watchtower with a wall around it, was drawn into my minds eye as a printer prints – line by line.

Prelude.0 See the Glory of God, Beyond the Veil

Alephtav.blog See the Glory of God is mainly my own expository notes.

As I study long and hard, the Holy Spirit, has been bringing together vast sections of the prophetic picture; I’m sure He’s using me and many other believers to this purpose as more knowledge is being made available in these last days. Bereans learn so much from each other, each having pieces of the puzzle, giving and taking. Even so, none of our writings is perfect.

Note: to keep prophetical structure intact, alephtav.blog rarely adds new posts. Instead original posts are updated. That’s why URLs show a prior years. It’s printable. I encourage people to print before the tribulation takes it down

Prelude 1 Glory God Beyond

Harvest timing Viewpoints:

Most of the arguments for the general timing of Jesus Christ’s gathering of His saints seemed to make good sense at first. But, I soon came to realize they were being presented to me with glosses over of what really didn’t fit.

When I finally finished examining popular views meticulously, they all seemed to have huge flaws, flaws of Biblical proportions, or a multitude of smaller flaws – a mess. After about six years of trying to put together the greater prophetic puzzle, much of it finally seemed to have come together by the Holy Spirit, yet the general timing of the harvest of the saints still remained questionable for awhile. Even the sixth seal rapture viewpoint, which was the only way out of initial confusion, had its challenges.

Prelude 2 Glory God Beyond

Popular harvest, resurrection, and rapture timing view points actually have merit!

What! Didn’t you just write that the viewpoints have been presented with glosses causing gigantic error or multitude of smaller flaws? . . . Can the two statements that I made be reconciled? Yes, they can be reconciled if all three harvests of saints are in God’s plan. They are. That’s why they all have Biblical support!

Prelude 3 Glory God Beyond

One problem is that seminary schools have been teaching students to defend the existence of only one harvest, at the expense of the others. I’m not saying they’re doing it deliberately, with full awareness, but that students and teachers are under pressure to agree with what’s been handed down to them by their institutions.

Different schools chose different Bible expositors to hold in high esteem, so teachers must leave out, spiritualize or twist Bible passages that don’t fit their school’s paradigm. The glosses cause waves of warpage.

To be fair, it hasn’t been entirely the fault of seminary schools. There have been a few egregious widespread mis-translations in the Bible. One passage in particular, related to the rapture, comes to mind that has misled many, including me. But, with the internet and so many linguistics experts working on this very topic now, the important errors are coming to light.

Prelude 4 Glory God Beyond

For a study on perhaps the worst mistranslated section of the Bible:

The Three Harvest Vantage Point:

I’ve come to understand that prior to the sixth seal, in the Book of Revelation, the true church/bride will have already been harvested by our perfect Lord and Savior, at what I’ve come to call the Open Door Harvest. see posts:

Watch for Jesus Christ

May 18, ’24 Addendum, Although I’ve come to uphold the basic ‘three harvest’ viewpoint, I continue to think the Bible’s saying that, the vast majority of saints will be harvested at the sixth seal, which is the ‘owner’s portion’ of the Wheat Harvest. My studies are leading me to think: All of the bride-of-Christ is part of the body-of-Christ but not all of the body-of-Christ is the bride-of-Christ.

Prelude 5 Glory God Beyond

End Times Prophesy Watchers

For example, those who can’t sing are supported in the joy of worship by those who can!

But, Jesus warned everybody to pay attention, to watch and not fall asleep. He warned us to keep our garments clean. And most of all, He warned us NOT to live for the world!

Prelude 6 Glory God Beyond

Watchers have a very supportive role unto other believers, who really should take more advantage of them. This is despite the fact that it’s often not easy to hear what watchers have to say. For example, they might let you know when you need to study the challenging parts of the Bible.

In the Old Testament, God assigned watcher roles to Levitical priests. Prophets were watchers of a different sort. Also, Israel had watchers in civil roles. It’s an intense responsibility.

“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.”

Ezekiel 33:6

Prelude 7 Glory God Beyond

That’s why I publish my notes online:

I think there’s great risk for any believer who might not realize when the time has come to sprint, or crawl, to the finish line! I’ve been passing out the warnings that Jesus Christ has given to us; Because the dire warnings have hardly been mentioned in most of the churches I’ve attended.

Jesus Christ’s Glorious Face

I know the Lord wants me to, write down what I’m learning and make it available to others, because He showed me His Glorious Face right after I first pushed the publish button August of 2023. He looking very pleased with a great big, awesome smile!

Prelude 8 Glory God Beyond

Jesus said: “Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. My Father will love those who love me; I too will love them and reveal myself to them.“

John 14:21

The Restrainer may have been partially removed 21 days before the Hamas Massacre on Israel . . .

I’m not saying that believers with the indwelling Holy Spirit don’t contribute significantly to the restraint of dark spirits in the world.

Prelude 9 Glory God Beyond

They do, especially in their own lives, their immediate surroundings and communities; And saints, through their answered prayers, also have a restraining effect upon the whole world. But, there’s always been much rebelliousness and/or division in the church, even from the days of St. Paul, throughout the long dark ages, and very obviously NOW. So, it’s at least conceivable that there’s an additional, dimension to how the restrainer works.

I could be wrong, but I strongly suspect that when Jesus Christ breaks the first seals of the scroll, ‘The Deed to the Earth’ that He’s removing the restrainer, one seal at a time . . .

Prelude 10 Glory God Beyond

. . . and at the right moment, after war and/or other serious troubles have been let loose, but before they reach critical mass, He’ll rescue His bride from the world’s hour of greatest trial before she’s scourged by it. (Rev. 3:3)

If I’m right, Jesus Christ may have released a restraining seal on Yom Teruah (Trumpets) Sept. 17, 2023 and another on Yom Teruah (Trumpets) Oct. 2, 2024.

Upon the bride of Christ’s removal, the final and perhaps most significant way in which the Holy Spirit restrains, will be also be removed along with Her.

I think the Holy Spirit works best through the saint when they’re united in community.

Prelude 11 Glory God Beyond

A nuclear harvest seems likely.

One thing’s certain: nowhere in the Bible does any prophet say that the bride of Christ will be rescued on the first day of Daniel’s 70 week. See post 14, mark 12.5.

Prophesies have recently been coming true faster that I can possibly write about them! I believe God has clearly revealed, just in time, the above mentioned ‘three harvest model,’ which includes the Open Door Harvest (barley), the Pauline Harvest (wheat) and the Olivet Discourse fruit or ‘good grapes’ Harvest, and it seems that the first resurrection will be parsed among them. See:

Since this is just an introductory post, I’m winding down, but some direction about what to look at next is needed, because what’s happening in the world right now is urgent. (I’m writing this on Resurrection Sunday 2025.)

Prelude 12 Glory God Beyond

The unexpected importance of the Book of Ester!

An early harvest of the bride of Jesus Christ is indicated by the story told in the Biblical Book of Ester. Watchers are encouraged by this prophesy to keep awake for our Lord and Savior’s arrival, any time from Purim onward, until the nuclear issues, which caused Iran, Russia and China to apparently congeal on Purim March 14, 2025 and all other repercussions of Iran’s nuclear threat play out.

What was the ‘event that changed everything’? It’s covered in post 1.

Post 1. Jesus is the Door-High Watches presents all the harvest ‘high watch alerts’

https://alephtav.blog/2024/09/02/1-hisbride/

Although the ‘event that changed everything’ absolutely did happen exactly on Purim proper: March 14, 2025, the whole story of the Book of Ester doesn’t happen in one day or one month! That’s why watchers are still focusing on it being played out.

The only reason Israel didn’t blow up the Bushehr Nuclear Facility during Passover week was because Trump stalled Netanyahu who was ready to do it; Trump wanted another diplomatic round.

Prelude 13 Glory God Beyond

Why would the fulfillment of the events triggered by Purim extend further into the year?

The early Spring Passover related holy convocations were fulfilled by Jesus Christ when He was crucified, buried and resurrected; And the fourth holy convocation, Shavuot/Pentecost, was also seemingly fulfilled when Jesus Christ sent His Holy Spirit to Earth in that same year, 31 AD/ADT. But, since Jesus Christ had already left Earth and ascended to the right hand of the Holy Father by that time, so some watchers think Pentecost/Shavuot remains to be completely fulfilled.

All those fulfillments as well as the likely partial fulfillment took place when the Temple of God was standing with an active priesthood and twice daily sacrifices.

Rabbinical Judaism still tries to observe the 7 yearly holy convocations (appointed times) with God, despite the fact of having no temple, but I suspect that the final 3 (or 3.5) holy convocations can’t be completely fulfilled by our King and Savior Jesus Christ, until the Jews reestablish their Mosaic Covenant.

Again, partial fulfillments are conceivable, such as with the many trumpet blows of Yom Teruah, the only appointed time that seems to have been designed by God Almighty for this ultimate purpose – giving out the many important alarms needed during the final seven of years of this age.

Prelude 14 Glory God Beyond

Since the Old Covenant holy convocations probably can’t be completely fulfilled without the temple of God, ‘watching’ in this highly prophetic year will continue to be focused on what’s in the Purim scope, as nuclear threat takes center stage! But, this isn’t the post for high watches. Jesus said He’d tarry. Jesus’ tarry may have started from Pentecost/Shavuot, which is the time of the fulfillment of the Barley Harvest. The Book of Ester will remain in our radar until the third temple goes up, if were still here. see:

https://alephtav.blog/2024/09/02/1-hisbride/

One thing was so exciting to learn about Ester!

As end-times prophesy: Ester is the Bride of the King of kings who risks her life to stand up for the Jews; The story is prophetic of the grafted on ‘hidden Israel’ (the true church/bride of Christ) who will do the same. The historically true story of Ester is relived by the Jews in their yearly Purim festival. Yet, ironically they ‘hate’ the church! (Not all of them.) So most of them are likely to be shocked when they discover that it’s the ‘bride of Christ’ who’ll be their end times ‘Ester’! See it in action . . .

https://www.jns.org/christian-jewish-leaders-call-for-israeli-sovereignty-over-judea-samaria/

The entire Old Testament and the prophets point us to the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the main purpose of which is the saving of the remnant of the Jews. (The rest will pay their eternal debt to God.) God please help us always remember that it’s only through the Jews, through whom Jesus Christ was begotten, that we ‘the called out ones’ from every nations have been saved from a future of never ending damnation .

There’s also the Jealousy Factor:

I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry in the hope that I may provoke my fellow Jews to jealousy and save some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? Romans 11:13-15
