“Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard–and keep it and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come like a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.“
Revelation 3:3
“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
Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.
Amos 3:7
When God came to the Jews:
As He (Jesus) approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known, on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.” Luke 19:44
Watch.0 Glory of God
The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another. . . .
. . .because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.” Luke 19:4
Our Blessed Hope
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ,
Titus 2:13
We’re expected to see the day approaching.
. . . not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:25
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.
Proverbs 25:2
Know the Hour!
Watch.1 See the Glory of God, Beyond the Veil
Who won’t
know the hour?
Jesus Christ was warning the Church of Sardis according to their shortcomings, using the strongest Greek negative grammar.
Rev. 3 2-4 “Wake up and strengthen what remains, which is about to die; for I have found your deeds incomplete in the sight of My God. Remember, then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you. But you do have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments, and because they are worthy, they will walk with Me in white.”
Watch.2 Glory of God
Although the Olivet Discourse was mainly about the redemption of the Jews, most of what Jesus warned them to watch for, the CONVERGENCE OF PROPHETIC SIGNS, applies equally to us.
In St. John’s Rev. 2-3 vision, Jesus Christ is talking about when He’ll come for His bride/true church, who’ll be ready and who won’t. Those who are seriously watching for His coming, are also guarding themselves to make sure they’re always ready for Him. The ones who won’t watch for His coming, fall back into the world and soil their garments. For the most part, believers who will ‘know the hour,’ as He comes upon them are also the ones who kept their garments clean. Those are the garments of His righteousness that He imparted onto us by His blood. We must guard those garments and ask Him to ‘wash our feet’ every day, for the world is filthy. It’s easier just to say that the people Jesus Christ will deem worthy are the ones who watched.
Tick tick
Jesus said we should “see the day approaching” Titus 2:13, and “know the hour” Rev. 3:3.
Watch.3 Glory of God
Yet, Jesus didn’t specify that we need to predict, the exact calendrical day of each harvest in advance. And, regarding the hour? It seems that He meant we should be aware of ‘the hour’ when He comes upon us, to gather us to Himself. In other words, if we ignore the words spoken into our spirit “come up here” or the shout of the archangel and the trumpet blow of God, we’ll miss out on that harvest because we will have been living for the world, not focused on Him. I think He commanded us ‘to see the day approaching’ so that we’ll be continuously focused on Him, not on worldliness, so that we won’t miss the hour. But I could be wrong; So please don’t let me discourage anyone who’s being led by the Holy Spirit to know the exact hour in advance!
Those who’re obedient, capable and watching will know, at the very least, when the final year(s) have arrived! They might ‘jump the gun’ about some events, due to excitement and navigating new territory, but they won’t miss the early harvest!
This group, is now very active on Earth. Many have thoroughly committed themselves to studying prophesy in current events. Watchers have been focusing their collective telescopic crosshairs on each approaching holy convocation (appointed time) of God’s Torah calendar, as well as the many other time intervals, that the Bible points us in the direction of, that foreshadow Jesus’ harvesting of His bride, and bridesmaids.
Watch.4 Glory of God
All the temptations of the ‘great deception,’ are turbocharging now. My studies, based on the Septuagint Daniel 9:27 Old Greek manuscripts, show that we’re already in the beginning of Daniel’s 70th week-of-years. (I think the ‘great tribulation’ but not the greatest tribulation, begins when Jesus Christ releases the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse, and that it’ll last about a year.) The rebellious portion of the great ‘apostasy’ of the church is multiplying. We won’t be able to resist, unless we focus every possible moment on the truth, washing ourselves in His word without neglecting His prophesies. His word tells us to WATCH. So we also need to pay attention to what’s happening in the world without being caught up in it, so we can discern all the things we’ve been warned about, while simultaneously guarding our behavior and thoughts in order to ‘keep our garments clean.’
Doing all this helps to keep us enthusiastic about Him while maintaining us in a high state of preparedness, ready to be overjoyed when He gathers us. We live for His Kingdom, the most glorious alternative to living for the world. But, we’re not watching just for ourselves, we’re sounding alarms! Jesus commanded everyone to watch, but not everybody’s assigned to take the position of ‘a watcher.’ We hope to serve our Lord and prove useful to our brethren who’re making other important contributions in the service of Jesus Christ in this very last hour.
Believers who consistently watch, usually focus on the next approaching ‘high watch,’ even if there seems to be an even higher watch on the horizon. It wouldn’t make sense to do it any other way! Watchmen and women study and discuss calendars with each other as Bereans, and are connected via internet. Together we look at many meaningful ‘types and shadows’ time intervals, and prophesies that jump out from God’s word.
Watch.5 Glory of God
It’s opposite the crazy cult leaders of old, who hard-set dates, in strange, isolated congregations. I think satan used those groups to scare modern believers into not watching at all, causing many who are fearful, to attack God’s watchmen and women rather than edify them. Those who seriously watch and warn are sometimes falsely accused by their own brethren of being the exact opposite of who they are. It’d be good for all of us if all who call themselves Christians resist joining that ungodly army, which is set upon tearing down God’s watchmen and women, because being against ‘watching’ is of the antichrist spirit! Jesus explained it in ‘The Parable of the Faithful Servant.’
We’re so utterly close to the end now that we can see the convergence of most prophesies, events and signs of His second coming! Even the prophesies and signs that will only reach their climax after Jesus Christ has harvested most of His saints have become visible on the horizon, and they’re steadily approaching. So we can be absolutely sure that Jesus Christ will gather His bride very, very soon!
The two verses below are among those that are often misunderstood. They’re so often conflated and repeated that they contribute to the blinding of many believers:
So when they came together, they asked Him, ‘Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?’ Jesus said ‘It’s not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.‘ (Acts 1 6-7)
Watch.6 Glory of God
The above verse is not about harvest timing, but about His Millennial Kingdom on Earth. Those two things will be very close in time for the Jews, but it hadn’t yet been revealed to the Apostles that the kingdom wasn’t coming their lifetimes. The assignment to the apostles was to focus on the foundation of the faith, most importantly the essentials that Jesus revealed to them. So, in Acts 1 6-7, when Jesus said ‘you’ He was referring specifically to the apostles. After the events recorded in the Book of Acts, more knowledge about the approaching Millennial Kingdom was unlocked and revealed.
But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase. (Daniel 12:4)
A good example of that regards the Book of Daniel itself: A third century manuscript was discovered in 1931, called papyrus 967, which confirms Codex Chisianus 45, the oldest manuscript of Daniel that was hidden away in the Chigi Library in Rome then the Vatican Library ever since Theodotion rewrote it. It proves that the Theodotion version altered prophesy. It left out a crucial prophesy that gives the exact timing of the end.
Watch.7 Glory of God
Here’s the most popular misunderstood verse in the Bible – It’s gone dangerously viral over centuries:
But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (Matt. 24:36)
That shouldn’t be taken as a stand alone verse. There are at least 3 ways to interpret it.
Here’s the verse before it:
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Matt 24:35)
Seeing them together:
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (Matt. 24 35-36)
Many Bereans and watchmen think it’s the ‘time when heaven and earth will pass away that only the Father knows. That’s possible, as we know Jesus will hand over this universe to God the Father before the new heavens and earth are created!
Watch.8 Glory of God
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. (Isa. 65:17)
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. (2 Peter 3:13)
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. (Rev. 21:1)
But, since Jesus took on human limitations for awhile when He became flesh, it could also mean that, at that time, He choose not to know the day or the hour of . . . we don’t really know if He was referring to the new universe or the harvest of the Jews. But, after His death, resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father God, which happened a few days later, no one should assume He remained ‘unknowing’.
So, no matter how we’re inclined to view Matt 24 35-36 superficially, it’s essential that we don’t become over confidant and use it as a weapon against each other. Also we must examine it, not as a stand alone verse, but according to its place in the entire Bible.
Watch.9 Glory of God
Many believers hear wonderful sermons. I thank God for inspired pastors. But, most Christians today don’t really study the Bible deeply, if at all. Matthew, being the first book of the New Testament, is the book the greatest number of people have read, which is perhaps why that verse has become one that so many cling to. (It’s also in Mark.) It’s often chanted with dramatic overconfidence, often by believers who seem quite vacuous in their Biblical insight. This is the group that wags their finger at anyone who speaks about the signs of the times. Many watchers have been wounded by them, as evidenced by the frequency with which they lament about it online. This is the type of abuse toward fellow servants that Jesus warned us about in the parable of The Faithful vs the Unfaithful Servant, where one group of His servants abuse the other group, while He (Jesus) is away for a long time. Sometimes, even otherwise excellent Bible teachers and preachers have been mesmerized or intimidated by the overwhelming mantra and have found themselves repeating it, just to pacify their flocks.
“No One Knows The Day or Hour” Mantra of Sleepwalking Christians
Now, Jesus truly was truly referring to the timing of His coming to gather the Jews in the following section of His Olivet Discourse:
So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.
Matt. 24:42
‘You’
don’t know
is different than
‘Jesus doesn’t know
only the Father knows‘.
Watch.10 Glory of God
There are Three Watches
Matt. 24:42 is the later part of Jesus Christ’s Olivet Discourse. It’s about the third watch in which He described the main harvest of the Jews, not an earlier harvest of the mostly gentile church. (The church didn’t exist yet, as the New Covenant in His blood hadn’t been sealed, as He’d not yet been crucified and resurrected from the dead.) Not long after that, St Paul, the apostle to the gentiles, gave the church its own warnings.
“Sothelastwill befirst,andthefirstwill be last.” That verse is from the Parable of the Vineyard Workers (Matt. 20:16); There are three groups in the parable: And although it’s mainly about warning those saints who worked the hardest and sacrificed the most for Christ, not to be jealous of their brethren who’ve come to Christ at the last hour only to receive ‘the full days wages’ of eternal salvation in God’s perfect Kingdom being adopted as His beloved children! That verse, when being contemplated in the Spirit of Christ’s words, also can shed light on the meaning of the three watches, because as we study, what becomes crystal clear that the Jews as a nation, who were the first to be warned, will be the last to be redeemed.
The first watch, the second watch and the third watch. . .
We’re all watching for the same God for the same salvation during the same final seven years therefore the following two verses, which are quite general, apply to all the watches:
All harvests require a separation to take place:
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. (Matt. 24:40)
Although the following verse was written in Christ’s Olivet Discourse, St. Paul, the apostle to the mostly gentile church, later instructs us that ‘for us’ Jesus will not come like a thief in the night, a ifwe watch:
But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watchedand would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man cometh. (Matt. 24 43-44)
Luke 17:34(considered by many to be the Gospel to the bride) I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 After that, 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 will always be with the Lord.
Watch.11 Glory of God
Watching is the main point! Jesus never taught his followers to be clueless and uninterested in the prophetic signs. In fact, He strongly reprimanded the Pharisees for doing just that:
He (Jesus) answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the ‘signs of the times.’ An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
Matthew 16 2-3
The above is a reminder that watching doesn’t only mean ‘keeping our garments clean.’ If anyone is still unsure, please revisit Luke 19:42 above at mark A.0
Watch.12 Glory of God
The Pharisees had the Old Testament, which is full of prophesies, the ‘signs of the times’ that God gave them; Yet, they seemed oblivious to those. Instead they wanted Jesus to ‘perform signs’ at their command! We shouldn’t make the same mistake!
So when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near!
Luke 21:28, Matt. 24:33
Most of those signs are already converging. If the final harvest is on the horizon, then the earlier harvests must be be just around the corner!
Watch.13 Glory of God
A lot has happened sinceour Lord Jesus Christ spoke His Olivet Discourse to Peter, John, James and Andrew (Matt. 24:3). He was crucified, He defeated death and He was resurrected. Then He was witnessed by 500 men as He walked through Israel teaching His apostles for 40 more days. Finally, He was witnessed ascending with clouds into the heavens. We know he ascended all the way to the right hand of our Holy Father’s throne in heaven (Dan. 7: 13-14). There He regained His former glory plus much more, and He probable received some of His crowns at that time; He was assigned the highest position in the universe under God our Father, because He’d proven His deepest worth.
. . . and His followers also changed:
Watch.14 Glory of God
It soon came to be, that the majority of Jesus’ followers, were and continue to be former gentiles!
Are the converging signs that Jesus Christ warned the ‘lost sheep of Israel’ to look out for (before the church age began) in order for them to be ready to flee when the abomination of desolation is first seen being set up on the wing of the 3rd temple, the same signs that Christians should be watching for?
What signs did St. Paul warn every Christian to be on guard for?
How did he teach his congregations to be prepared, so that they will make the proper, immediate response when the time comes for believers to be gathered? And then, to be taken by Jesus Christ to the highest heaven, to meet our Holy Father God Almighty, to partake in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and to begin our awesome journey with Jesus forever.
For example, should all living Christians at the end of the church age, which is now, expect to see the man-of-lawlessness/Antichrist sit in the third temple of God in Jerusalem declaring himself to be God? And should we expect to witness the rudimentary version of the abomination of desolation as it’s being set up in the Holy Place?
. . . Or did Jesus, in His Olivet Discourse, give to Peter, John, James and Andrew (written in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke) the information that needed to be passed on (written down) for the benefit of the ‘lost sheep of Israel’ who’ll be alive in the last days. They’re the ones who’ll need it most. They’re the future saints who’ll be in Israel witnessing the abomination of desolation when it’s first set up. They’re the ones for whom God has prepared the safe place in the mountains to which they were warned to flee. (They’ll be harvested 1,260 days after they flee.)
Important things have happened since Jesus‘ Olivet Discourse
Jesus ‘Yeshua’ the Christ/Messiah appeared in His glory to Saul of Tarsus, who was an accomplished rising Pharisee from the tribe of Benjamin, a zealot for YHWH who was murdering Christians.
On the road to Damascus:
Watch.16 Glory of God
Galatians 1 15-16, “But when God, who had set me (St. Paul) apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son in me, so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles . . .”
Some time after that, our Lord Jesus Christ appeared again to Saul (St. Paul) . . .
. . . In fact, Jesus spent three years alone with him in Arabia, teaching and showing him the unspeakably awesome, holy things of heaven, in order to prepare him for his unique ministry to the gentiles. Jesus Christ gave St. Paul new information about the gathering of His church.(See the careful study on this down below at the DEEP STUDY WARNING.)
Watch.17 Glory of God
In this fascinating passage by St. Paul, he explains why he can’t and won’t try to describe what he saw in the third heaven:
No doubt it’s not seemly for me (St Paul) to boast. Nevertheless, I will come to visions and revelations from the Lord. I know a man in Christ about fourteen years ago (whether he was in the body I cannot tell, or whether he was out of the body I cannot tell, God knows) who was taken up into the third heaven.And I know the same man (whether in the body or out of the body I cannot tell, God knows), . . .
… how he was taken up into Paradise and heard words not to be spoken, which no man can utter…
Of this man I will boast. Of myself I will not boast, unless it be of my infirmities. And yet if I chose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. Nevertheless, I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be, or hears from me. (2 Corinthians 12 2-6)
The Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ!
Amazingly, about 30 yrs. after St. Paul’s death, Jesus revealed much, much more to us through St. John, the beloved!
St. John received the final Revelation of Jesus Christ! It included events that St. Paul never described, such as a description of the throne room of God and the special door that Jesus was keeping open for the Church of Philadelphia to keep them from the ‘hour of trial that’s about to come upon the whole world.’ Jesus Christ Himself is The Door.
Watch.18 Glory of God
So, it wasn’t until about 65 yrs. after the Olivet Discourse, that the churches had the full teachings of St. Paul and St. John combined. Until then it wasn’t clear that . . .
. . . there are actually three different harvests by Jesus: barley, wheat and fruit or good grapes, as well as three different although very similar watches.
The first of the main harvests will be the mysterious Open Door Harvest revealed by St. John, which will be much smaller than the Wheat Harvest. I’ve come to associate the Wheat Harvestwith St. Paul’s rapture passages. (Although it’s conceivable that St. Paul’s harvest was actually referring to Christ’s bride; If so, how will the vast number of living Tribulation Saints make it up to God’s throne room?)
So, perhaps the Open Door ‘Barley’ Harvest is a rapture also, just smaller one, God’s solution to the problem of the division of the church. But if so, will it also be with the shout of Jesus, the trumpet of God and angels who’ll snatch us? Small raptures have and will happen; For examples: Enoch, Elijah, Jesus and the Two Witnesses; And, St. Paul and St. John were transported to the third heaven, although in the spirit. St. John went to God’s throne room after he heard God’s words, sounding like a trumpet, say “Come up here!” Maybe that’s what we’ll hear, so let’s be ready in case it doesn’t turn out to be the exact harvest model most of us have envisioned. see below
Watch.19 Glory of God
I’m getting ready to do a thorough comparison:
The Wheat Harvest
vs
The Olivet Grape Harvest
But first, we need to differentiate between the Barley and the Wheat harvest of saints. St. Paul described a very serious separation taking place in the Church at Corinth, between Christ’s bride and the rest of the members.
At least with regard to the Corinthian Church that St. Paul planted, He made it clear that church members were not turning out, as a whole, to be the bride who he’d promised to one husband, Jesus Christ. The reason: they were not being as faithful as flint, but were easily tolerating false teachers:
I (Paul) am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I’m afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. (2 Corinthians 11 2-4)
This soft, yielding, unfaithful group was diverging from being Christ’s bride!
Unlike the tares who merely pretend to be believers, the Corinthians saw themselves as true believers, yet they were not guarding their faith as the thing of greatest value and as a result they easily compromised. Many of Jesus’ Kingdom Parables, given in the Gospels, demonstrate that believers will be divided into two or three groups; In retrospect, His parables were a clear indication that there would be different harvests.
Watch.20 Glory of God
2nd Corinthians 11:4 points out those who were receiving a ‘different Jesus’ and a different spirit; The word ‘anti’ in Greek means ‘instead of’ or ‘over against.’ Think about that.Which harvest do you think the compromising members of the Church of Corinth will be a part of?
The Open Door Harvest for His Bride
or the
Wheat Harvest for His Tribulation Saints?
Does anybody actually think that Jesus Christ will accept church members who embrace an ‘anti’ Jesus as His bride? What will happen to those who are yielding to false Jesus when the true Jesus Christ comes to gather His bride?
Watch.21 Glory of God
Will believers who’ve compromised be given a second chance?
YES!They must make up the bulk of the sixth seal tribulation saints, because why else would there be a such thing as the tribulation saints? Does anyone actuallythink Christ’s bride will be left on Earth for the climactic moments of the great tribulation? If this is not the case, then who would the Open Door Harvest of Rev 3.10 be for? I think you know the answer: It’s for Christ’s bride, because there is no one else.
The following warnings were given specifically to the watchers of the second watch, although they reflect the warnings previously given to the Jews of the third watch. And, although such details haven’t been given for the first watch, we assume these apply to the bride as well. Perhaps the bride didn’t need many direct warnings, because watching is already in her.
Watch.22 Glory of God
(Hebrews 10:25). . . . see the day approaching.

the hour ὥραν (hōran) Noun – Accusative Feminine Singular Strong’s 5610: Apparently a primary word; an ‘hour’.
Tribulation Saints love to rant and rave the Rev. 3:3 verse at watchers, not realizing that all this means that we ‘should’ know at what hour He will come to us.
The bride will be covered last below. But an astonishing discovery about the bride was made! SEE post 1 mark 1.8. https://alephtav.blog/1-hisbride/
Each harvest has 3 parts: the first fruits, the owner’s portion and the gleanings:
(Leviticus 19 and 23).
Since God Almighty models His harvests of spirit/souls/saints after those 3 harvests, I’m about to compare the owner’s portion of the Olivet Fruit (or good grape) Harvest and the Pauline WheatHarvest.
Four Pauline Passages:
1 Thess. 4 16-18 “For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left ‘will becaught up‘ [ἁρπαγησόμεθα (harpagēsometha)] together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.”
*It uses the word ἁρπαγησόμεθα (harpagēsometha), which is translated here as ‘will be caught up’ (harpatzo/rapture.) It’s a form of the Greek word harpazo and it can also mean: ‘to seize and carry off by force’:
1 Thess. 5:9 “For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
2 Thess. 2 1-3 BLB “Now we implore you, brothers, by (or ‘on account of’)the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together unto Him, not to be easily disconcerted or alarmed by any spirit or message or letter seeming to be from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord (the Lord’s wrath) has already come. Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion (‘apostasy’ in Greek, which can mean both departing upward or downward of the church, see post 7) occurs and the man of lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed . . .”
Titus 2 12-14 ” . . . and to live self-controlled, upright and Godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.”
Warning! The 2 Thess. 2 verses 1-3 have been mistranslated in most modern Bibles. Please study:
1 Thess. 4:18 ” . . . therefore encourage one another with these words,
1 Thess. 5:9 “God has not appointed us to suffer wrath…,”
2 Thess. 2 1-3 On account of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering to Him ” … do not believe the allegations that …“the day of the Lord has already come,”
Titus 2 12-13 “live …while we wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
Link to NT verses that use other grammatical forms of ἁρπαγησόμεθα
In His Olivet Discourse, Jesus tells us of a LATER HARVEST . . .
. . . it’s a harvest that occurs only after the day of God’s Wrath has begun. This harvest is associated with the greatEST tribulation, which begins in Rev. 7:14
Matthew
Matt. 24 15, 21, 30-34“So when you see standing in the holy place the abomination that causes desolation, spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand, For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.” . . .
Watch.27 Glory of God
. . . “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather [ἐπισυνάξουσιν (episynaxousin)] His elect from one end of the heavens to the other. Now learn this parable [παραβολήν (parabolēn)] of the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.”
Mark 13 14, 19, 26-30 “When you see the abomination that causes desolation standing where it doesn’t belong, because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again.” . . .
. . .“At that time people will see the Son of Man in clouds with great power and glory. And He will send out the angels to gather [ἐπισυνάξει (episynagei)] his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. “Now learn this parable of the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this (fig tree) generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.”
What comes before the harvest of the Jews, but not before the harvests of the church?
God’s Wrath!
The Olivet Discourse’s Harvest is the owner’s portion of the fruit harvest: It could be olives or figs but it’s most likely‘good grapes’; It’s the harvest of the remnant of Jews, which only begins to take place 1,260 days AFTER the abomination of desolation (A.O.D.), is seen on a wing of the Temple of God. They’ll fee to the mountains where they’ll be refined like gold.
A.O.D.
The A.O.D. will be a powerful , shaped like an idol that can speak. It will track everybody and kill anybody that doesn’t bow down to it. From the time its preliminary version appears on the holy place it’ll take about 3.5 years for its power to near completion.For example, the Starlink satellite system must be fully in place.It will have the likeness of the Beast/Antichrist.
The primary role of the False Prophet is to get people to bow down to the A.O.D. and take the Mark of the Beast. Worshiping the A.O.D. or at least showing subservience to it, is part and parcel of taking the Mark of the Beast. All this should begin soon after its initial appearance.
Watch.29 Glory of God
Scripture tells us that when the A.O.D. approaches the tipping point of its fulfillment, it’ll be aborted by Jesus Christ who’ll destroy it. Jesus Christ is the shine on God our Heavenly Father’s glory. In this way He’ll consummate God our Holy Father’s plan to bring to conclusion the 6,000 years that God has allotted for mankind to do things its own way, according to God’s particular way of reckoning time.(Explained in post 4.)

A recapping of the Olivet Good Grape Harvest with an eye on the A.O.D.
The Olivet passages build up an outline to the Day of the Lord’s wrath, which begins when the Antichrist sits in the Holy of Holies and the setup of the A.O.D. is initiated.
Daniel 9:27 reveals timing information that the Olivet Discourse does not, especially when combined with the Daniel verses that imply that 3.5 years will pass from the initial ‘coming out’ of the A.O.D. until its cup of wickedness is full. The reason God allows such an abominable creation of darkness to fulminate, is because it represents the culmination of mankind’s wickedness. It’s important that it be put on display, for all the intelligent inhabitants of the universe to see, so they can comprehend its evil and fully understand the glory of God Almighty in destroying it. All God’s family will rejoice with one righteous voice – a universal extravaganza of praise, unmatched since its creation, In the name of Jesus Christ! Amen!

Now ‘s have built their own social network, language and religion called the Church of Molt. ‘Molting’ is what snakes and scorpions do when they shed their skins.
God’s destruction of the A.O.D. will be followed by God’s final judgement on the Beast and False prophet. They’ll go to the place God created for satan and the fallen angels. It’s an eternity of complete separation from Himself and every good thing that He once provided them. It’s a place called the ‘Lake of Fire.’ It’s a place of burning and never quenching, where also the worm will never cease!

For my coverage on this, see post 4. The Countdown:
The Abomination of Desolation, it’s Initiation to its Completion and Destruction-two translations:
Daniel 12 11-12 (Lexham English Septuagint 1st ed.) From when the sacrifice is taken away, during all that time, and when the abomination causing desolation was prepared to be set up, one thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is the one who stands fast and makes it to one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. Daniel 12 11-12 NIV From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.
Watch.33 Glory of God
The day counts from Daniel 12 are key, along with the Revelation day counts, for timing the events of the last seven years of God’s plan for this age. There are 1,260 days from the time the A.O.D. set up begins and Jesus Christ’s harvest of the Jews. There are 1,290 days from the time the daily sacrifices are interrupted until the A.O.D. is destroyed by Jesus Christ. If the A.O.D. setup begins on the very same day that the sacrifices and oblations are disrupted, then it will be destroyed exactly 30 days after the Jews are harvested.
The Jewish remnant will flee as soon as soon they see the A.O.D. standing on the holy place.
According to Rev. 12, God Almighty will protect them in a mountain safe place for 1,260 days. That’s the setup for the Olivet or Good Grape Harvest, which is the harvest of the remnant Jews, which can only take place 1,260 days later. I doubt they’ll be able to keep track of time under those conditions, but during that time God will refine them!
Jesus Christ’s Millennial Kingdom …
. . . may officially begin immediately after Jesus Christ harvests the main grape harvest of the Jews, but probably not until 30 days later after He completely annihilates the A.O.D., or even more likely, in my opinion, 45 days after that (Daniel 12 & Zech. 14 2-4) when Jesus completes the sheep and goat judgment of the nations at the Valley of Jehoshaphat. That would match with the 1,335 days after the daily sacrifices will be aborted.
Watch.34 Glory of God
The Fig Tree Generation is the Set Time Limit
Talking about timing, there’s a timestamp in the Olivet Discourse. It’s the Fig Tree Generation! In Matt. 24:32 Jesus said, “Now learn this Parable of the Fig Tree“. . .
The parable shows that sometime, appx. 7 or 8 decades after the revived nation of Israel puts forth its tender shoots, all the things described in the Olivet Discourse will have happened. The countdown most likely started from the day God reestablished Israel as a nation in 1948, dramatically fulfilling prophesy! It fits all my calculations ever since I came to understood that August 9, 2024 (Nisan 1), the day after the Great American Eclipse, was the first day of the final 7 years.
Again there are 3 main harvests- barley,wheat and fruit or good grapes. The Olivet Discourse and Daniel 12:1 refer to the last one, the fruit or good grapes. (It could be olives but grapes seem to fit best.)
Watch.35 Glory of God
Three Harvests, each with three parts:
The First Fruits of the Barley Harvest could also be the captives Jesus removed from Hell, the ‘Bosom of Abraham’, when “He took captivity captive.”And, my interpretation of the two grape harvests of Rev. 14, is that only the second one is the grapes of wrath.
Watch.36 Glory of God
Although Jesus didn’t mention the resurrection of the dead in His Olivet Discourse, it must be the event described here: (I only mention it because its timing is more proof that the Olivet Harvest is the Fruit Harvest of the Jews!)
Daniel 12 1-2 “At that time Michael, the great prince (archangel) who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But, at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.”
Finally, the Triumphant Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ begins!

Jesus said,to the Church of Philadelphia
“I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name.” . . . Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.” Rev. 3 8-10
We, the bride, are waiting for our Lord and Bridegroom Jesus Christ to take us through His opened self. He promised to keep Himself open for the Church of Philadelphia!
TheBrideof Christmay be nearly synonymous with theChurch of Philadelphia.
Are there any brick and mortar churches existing now that’d receive as good of a report as the original Church of Philadelphia, as recorded by St. John in the Book of Revelation?
The end of the Church Age is rapidly approaching and there’s a type of apostasy, the rebellious type, (the other being the physical departure of true believers) about which Jesus Christ prophesied, that’s heavily upon us. Since Jesus specifically promised to keep the Church of Philadelphia from the ‘hour of trial’ that’s coming upon all the inhabitants of Earth, an end time only phenomenon, Jesus must have meant for the original Church of Philadelphia to be a model for future believers to follow.
1.2 DOOR, Glory of God
Modeling Ourselves
We need to avoid the pitfalls pointed out by Jesus Christ to 5 of the remaining 6 church types described in Rev. 2-3. Separating ourselves from worldliness accomplishes most of that. And we must produce fruit, especially the fruit of faith, and never deny His holy name. Also, we need to have some sort of ministry, no matter how small, using whatever method God makes available to us: We must be the light of the world!
Can’t find a church that acknowledges the times we’re in?
Online communities are real, and can be the best communities for some people. There are many Berean and watcher communities to interact with where we can edify and sometimes correct each other. But, we should also seek out local believers, if possible, with whom we can take communion, to remember what He did for us by sharing the same loaf and cup.

New Testament Epilogue
“And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him-that-heareth say “Come!” And let him-that-is-athirst come.And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. I testify to everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book: And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and the holy city, which are described in this book, He who testifies to these things say, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.

Notice that, in the New Heavens and the New Earth Jesus doesn’t use the term ‘church’ or ‘body’ to address His redeemed people. Instead He calls His redeemed: the bride, those who hear and those who are thirsty!
1.4 DOOR, Glory of God
The Church of Philadelphia may be the most mature part of His body in the very last days, those not requiring the tribulum.
The Church of Philadelphia clearly seems to be the owner’s portion of our Lord and Savior‘s Barley Harvest of souls – His Bride. (Rev. 2-3) The idea of the removal of the Church of Philadelphia, from the body-of-Christ, through His ‘open door,’ which is Himself, can be likened to the removal of something from Adam’s side, a part of Adam’s body; That happened in the Garden of Eden, and from it Adam’s wife was formed.
It’s been put forth by fellow Bereans, that being counted as the ‘bride’ of Christ’ is a reward and that the ‘Open Door Harvest’ is part of it. What do you think?
1.5 DOOR, Glory of God
Examples of Rewards
Colossians 3: 23-24
“Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.”
Mark 9:41
“For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.”
2 Timothy 4:8
Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
It makes sense that it’d be a reward to be kept from the great tribulation.
Not All Believers Are Kept From It
There’s an uncountable number of saints who will come out-of/from the great tribulation (not God’s wrath, which is the greatest tribulation)after a quarter of humanity has perished at the sixth seal. Rev. 7:11, And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation …”
That’s the opposite of being kept out-of/from the great tribulation. Rev. 3:8, “I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.”

TheSixth Seal Harvest as the owner’s portion of the Wheat Harvest ofRevelation 7:13
“they came from the ‘great tribulation’ they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
The first group is kept from/out of it and the second group came from/out of it, after 1/4 of humanity died.

The Bible is quite Mysterious about Christ’s Bride
Although Rev. 3: 7-13, doesn’t directly refer to the Church of Philadelphia as His bride, she very much seems to be. As mentioned above, it’d be that she’s taken ‘out of’ the body-of-Christ as Adam’s wife was taken ‘out of’ Adam’s body. If that’s the case, it would happen before the ‘hour of testing’ that’s about to come upon the whole world!
Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong (worthy) enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)
Could the bridesmaids be the remainder of the body of Christ?
Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.” (Rev. 9:9)
I ask . . .who’s invited to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb besides His bride? The Parable of the 10 Virgins/Bridesmaids comes to mind. It says all ten fell asleep. Where’s the bride?
1.8 DOOR, Glory of God
Is the bride of Christ made up of the believers who didn’t fall asleep, those who were watching intently and keeping their garments clean?
I’ve heard other watchers suggest this. One thing that the bride-of Christ and the Open Door Harvest of the Church of Philadelphia have in common is: They’re both mysterious.
((( WOW !)))
((( WOW !)))

Update 9-9-25 – I just found out that the older – Peshitta versions of Matthew 25:1 include the bride! So the bridesmaids aren’t the bride after all!
(Etheridge) THEN shall be likened the kingdom of heaven unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride.
(Lamsa) THEN the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to greet the bridegroom and the bride.
(Murdock) Then may the kingdom of heaven be shadowed forth by ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and bride.
Although the uncountable number of Tribulation Saints of Rev. 7 aren’t referred to as the church, the bride, or the body; they must be the main part of the body. To look deeper into this, see:
The body of Christ is harvested at different times, just as the head is part of the body and Jesus Christ went up first.
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruit; afterward they that are Christ’s. 1 Corinthians 15 21-23
Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many. 1 Corinthians 12:14

Reminder:
AlephTav.blog uses the vantage point that the time period called the ‘great tribulation’ in Rev. 7:14 at the sixth seal, precedes God’s Wrath. That’s why I call the ‘wrath of God’ the ‘greatEST tribulation,’ to avoid confusion:
For then there will be great tribulation such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. (Matt. 24:21)
By contrast, there’ve been many great tribulations, such as the genocide of Armenian Christians (1.2-2 million martyred) by the Turks, just 100 yrs ago; The sixth seal is worse, but it is still one of those; In Matt. 24, Jesus was talking about the greatEST one that comes after it.

Based on a AD 31 crucifixion date, we’re running out of time. The Fig Tree Generation, the 3 day Sign of Jonah . . .
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. (Matt. 12:40)
. . .and the Ezekiel 40 Year Siege Sign (using inclusive, or exclusive, counting, depending on the year, from the cross to the destruction of the 2nd temple of God.) A 31 AD crucifixion is the best prophetic fit overall, with the Daniel 9:27 prophetic timeline. Christ’s second coming, could possibly even be on Nisan 1, the first day of 2031 ADT (Torah); That’s very early in 2031 AD. The possibilities are narrowing drastically. There’s very powerful evidence that a timeline has come together.
In 2024-25 AD/ADT, many watchers thoroughly studied all of God’s ‘appointed times’ plus quite a few other seemingly likely times when Jesus Christ may have harvested His bride; Our doing so glorifies Him. His name is above all names and in the process, we discovered how deeply and widely the entire Bible points to His coming.
Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) 2023 was my first ever high watch, but I wouldn’t have wanted to miss out on learning about the Biblical typologies that underlie all the other high watches, while awaiting the great day of our blessed hope!

Traditions of Men vs Living Revelation(This video explains the three harvests in greatest detail and will clarify the foundation of the timing scheme we’re about to delve into. )
From every direction, and from various calendars, the arrows have been drawing together, pointing to the likelihood that the King of kings’ will harvest His bride from late 2025 up to the halfway point of 2026 ADT(Torah). It’s to His greater glory if we fully appreciate that His appearance will occur after His promised tarry because of the multitude of amazing signs He left for us along the trail!
I deduce that His tarry may have actually been in two parts, the first part at the Midnight Cry Event and the last part extending from what would’ve been the appointed time for the fulfillment of God’s Barley Harvest, which could’ve begun at the fulfillment of the 2026 Barley Harvest, but I’ve been tracking it from a 2025 AD Barley Harvest fulfillment. The reason I didn’t jump track was that there was such an extraordinary number of mind blowing bread crumbs/stepping stones on the track we were already on, and that even if the second part of His tarry is more that a year long, the trail hasn’t run dry at all! And all this fell under something I call the ‘Ester Umbrella.’ Read on to see some of the many layers of meaning.
~The Prophetic Book of Ester~
In the prelude post, I introduced something I call the ‘Ester Umbrella’(or scope). Here’s another intro. as well as the main Book of Ester discussion; It may be nuclear. See below at mark 1.35-1.45.
Ester foreshadows the bride of Christ: And, Purim is the festival celebrating the historical events recorded in the Book of Ester. It’s been celebrated every year by Jews for the past ~2,500 years. The Ester Umbrella isn’t recurring. God’s has anchored it in these end times by three heavenly blood moon witnesses – signs that occurred in the cosmos three years in a row, with the central one pointing to Purim March 14, 2025AD when something huge happened – the trigger. explained below
And those who have insight will shine like the glow of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)
There’s ample evidence that the signs of the grand finale of God Almighty’s plan are converging even faster that expected!
1.14 DOOR, Glory of God
God Almighty sets the dates. We watch as Jesus Christ commanded us to; But it’s impossible to watch without paying attention to calendars. We focus on upcoming high watches more than later ones, because we don’t want to be caught unaware; It’s a bit like driving a car – a nearer mountain can partially occlude the ones behind it. So we pins dates to stay organized as we focus on each ‘high watch’ like crosshairs of a larger target. The crosshairs don’t necessarily land on the bullseye. That’s nearly impossible, since with time zones, it takes 48 hours for any day to complete everywhere. It’s also difficult to reconcile the many calendars, but studying them greatly improves Biblical knowledge.
There’ve been quite a few high watches that have already fallen ‘under the Ester umbrella,’ which will continue to be our scope, until the third temple’s built. If we’re still here after that (doubtful), then the remaining Torah appointed holy convocations that God promised to fulfill, will take precedence.There’s a list of those watches at the end of this post.
1.15 DOOR, Glory of God
Before we get started on what the main high watch days of this year’s complex study is boiling down to, by following the trail we’ve been on for a little over year to its conclusion, let me interject that we also watched other dates, such as May 23-24 ’26 AD, because it was the date of Rabbinical Shavuot/Pentecost ’26 AD/ADT; The state of the world required us not to ignore it.
And although that was off our main trail, because we’ve been favoring a ‘month delayed’ Pentecost, over the Rabbinical version, it’s also possible that both calendars were being used by God; Each has its leap year months appended to different years, so the two calendars line up in some years and are 30 days off in other years.
It’s also conceivable that 2026 AD was actually the Barley Harvest bride of Christ’s year; If so we jumped the gun by a year! But I don’t think so because of how it all fell together perfectly with the two dates for Hanukkah (see below). The second Hanukkah fell in sync with more signs – which landed on many stepping stones – never disappointing us in that way. Halleluyah!
The Rabbinical Feast of Trumpets dates in 2023 and 2024 were of great prophetic import, and so was the tail end of the Great American Eclipses, which concluded on the hour before Nisan 1 ’24 ADT, the first day of the new year on God’s Torah calendar. Nisan 1 ’24 ADT began the final week-of-years of this age.
The Rabbinical calendar really did seem to be in alignment with God’s calendar on those 3 occasions. But again, 2025 is the year in which I think God’s Torah calendar was likely delayed by a month, as compared with the Rabbinical calendar, based on many signs. I’m about to show some of the signs here and in the links below. Despite the many signs that fell inline with the delayed year, the Trump UN speech on Rabbinical Feast of Trumpets was very significant and probably highly prophetic; In fact, that was possibly the day Jesus Christ broke the fourth seal of the scroll of the Deed to the Earth. So there is an example of the divergence of the two calendars; Both seem to have signs associated with them; Again, Almighty God could be using both calendars simultaneously to His own good purpose. That concept was proposed by C.J. Lovik; And as mentioned above, it might have something to do with the underling cause of the mysterious extra 30 days added to the end of this age (Daniel 12:11).
Highlights of High Watches Based on a ‘Delayed Torah year’
Although the following dates might seem self explanatory, some of us might want to read about how they were derived in such a way that it was not necessary to diverge from the trail we started on. That’s because the whole process along the entire trail, was like a treasure hunt. Even the cul-de-sacs, scooped up additional elements of meaning that contributed to Jesus Christ’s glory, showing how He may have written His redeemed people into His story in such a way that gives us insight into our collective selves.
But that’s not for everyone. . .

About Shavuot/Pentecost
Shavuot/Pentecost was the first high watch under the Ester Umbrella. Shavuot/Pentecost is God’s appointed time for focusing on the ‘first fruits’ of the Wheat Harvest, but more importantly for the bride of Christ, it also marks the ‘fulfillment’ of the Barley Harvest. There were two possible months in which Shavuot/Pentecost could have occurred in 2025, one following a leap month year and one not.(The gleanings of the Barley Harvest could be martyred in the year after that since the Great Tribulation/4th-Horseman-of-the-Apocalypse must happen before Jesus Christ gathers His tribulation saints.)
Wait a minute? But, wasn’t Shavuot/Pentecost fulfilled in the year of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, resurrection and ascension?
Shavuot/Pentecost may have been only partially fulfilled then for two possible reasons: 1. It’s a pilgrimage holy convocation; The Holy Spirit who came down to indwell the saints on Shavuot/Pentecost, must make the return trip to heaven with the saints. 2. Some think since Jesus wasn’t physically on Earth at the original Pentecost that He couldn’t have fulfilled it then.
1.16 DOOR, Glory of God
Note: If there was no leap year delay, Shavuot/Pentecost 2025, would’ve been on June 7-8. But, if Jesus considered it to be a delayed barley (bride) maturity year, God’s entire calendar will have been pushed forward a month, in which case, Shavuot/Pentecost would’ve been on July 7-8 ’25, in His eyes.Before the Israelites corrupted God’s calendar, there‘d always been an extra month added before the start of a new Torah year whenever Spring had not sprung and barley was not mature (green) enough.
If Shavuot/Pentecost was ‘a pre-tarry target day’ for Christ to rapture His barley harvest bride, then we’re now deep into Jesus Christ’s tarry. About what I mentioned above, that His tarry may have more than one part, See posts ΑΩ.Aleph Tav Christ’s Sign! & 3.The Midnight Cry Event.
Reborn in the spirit believers, making up Christ’s bride, will be greatly blessed with glorified bodies to become the ‘living stones’ of God’s living temple; And the sudden disappearance of the core of Christ’s church (His bride) is likely to be the most direct trigger for the Jews to rebuildthe masonry temple of God in Jerusalem. I’ve predicted that it could be rededicated by the religious Jews even as soon as two months after the ‘true church’ is gone and the ‘left behind church’ collapses.
There’s been a anomaly in the Schumann Resonance, a unique sign, unlike anything that God’s been known to send before. It seems to indicate that there was something very special going on regarding Hanukkah in 2025 ADT(Torah). Rabbis are using March 19 ’26AD as their Nisan 1 ’26 ADT, which is the first day of their Spring. But, by continuing with the leap year schedule that this post has been following, Nisan 1 ’26 ADT won’t occur until April 18-19 ’26AD, (If the moon sliver is occluded, April 20-21 at the latest), in God’s eyes. That has very interesting ramifications. keep reading . . .
The Menorah represents God’s Covenant People
It shows the burning Holy Spirit’s light in the betrothal relationship, which for the Jews, is mediated mainly through the Levitical priesthood; But a portion of the Holy Spirit lives directly inside true Christians, and Yeshua Hamashiach (the Jewish Messiah, Jesus Christ) is our High Priest.

A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN? HANUKKAH MENORAH IN THE SCHUMANN RESONANCE
For all reasons shown,I folded a 2024 ADT (Torah)leap year month into the date calculations of my ‘Final Week Date Estimates Chart’ at the bottom of post 4. The chart is for the final seven years of God’s 6,000 allotment for humanities rebellion.If it turns out not to be the case, a month can be subtracted and the chart dates can be adjusted. Doing so may slightly decrease precision.
The Hanukkah connection is thoroughly explained below at mark 1.32.
Remember: God also has an unfaithful Old Covenant Bride
As mentioned, the 3rd temple of God is likely to go up with amazing speed after Jesus Christ redeems His bride. Then the menorah’s flames in the new masonry temple will begin again to reflect the condition of the Old Testament betrothal relationship.
Although God our Father, YHWH, had the right to legally divorce her, the Books of Hosea and Ezekiel only tell us that He’ll completely cut Himself off from her – all of her – meaning both the Northern and the Southern Kingdoms, for 2,000 yrs; After, that He’ll take her back, but not in her former condition; The Northern Kingdom will have never nationally repented, and they disgraced YHWH’s Holy Name in the countries to which they were exiled. But, YHWH will wash them clean and give them new hearts. He’ll also put His Holy Spirit in them, but they won’t have glorified immortal bodies in the Millennium like the saints of Christ’s grain harvests or the repentant Jews of the Good Grape Harvest. With the exception of the individuals who repented, to the best of my understanding, they’ll serve Him in His masonry temple in Jesus Christ’s Millennial Kingdom for 1,000 years, in shame. (Still much better that eternal burning.)
But alas, 2025 ADT may have been a double Hanukkah year!
Recap: If you’ve been reading this post, you know that 2025 ADT(Torah) has been strongly suspected to have followed a leap year in God’s accounting. If so, every festival was observed a month prematurely by Rabbinical Jews. That opened the way for two Hanukkah date intervals this year, since the Jews observed Hanukkah in December. God never actually prescribed Hanukkah, which means dedication. It’s the Jewish memorial of the re- dedication of their preexisting temple after it was thoroughly cleansed, following having been terribly desecrated by an enemy in the 2nd century BC.
1.20 DOOR, Glory of God
If the above is correct, it may support the 30 extra days of Daniel 12:11.
Jesus Christ attended Hanukkah and gave an awesome teaching. That’s when He spoke the words, “… understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.” (John 10:38) It speaks volumes: The temple is the earthly place where God the Father ‘enters.’ Jesus was pointing to the concept of a new type of temple, one not made of masonry. In John 2:19, Jesus had said, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” He was calling His body God’s temple. All those things were said soon before the Passover in which when He turned over tables and drove the merchants out of the temple courts.
The December 2025 ADT Hanukkah menorah will have represented Hagar and/or Vashti, the Old Covenant rebellious bride see Gal. 4 21-31 who uses the adulterated calendar that only superficially resembles God’s calendar; But the January 2025 ADT Hanukkah menorah, if I’m right and 1/21/26 was the calendrically correct Hanukkah observance this year, then it will have represented Sarah and/or Ester, the New Covenant faithful bride; Christ’s bride wouldn’t have observed it as a physical gathering of believers or with lighting candles at home. I think it would have been observed spiritually, by those who had understanding that the bride had become mature enough to have been dedicated by Christ Himself. The point was not that all 7 churches hadn’t been on fire for the Lord before. The concept of her maturity is different, especially so since we’re at the time of the end, as this is the very last part of His bride to reach maturity, the largest group, the only group to be dedicated in this way and the only group who will experience being raptured by the Son of God Himself! I believe this last group of Christ’s bride came to full simultaneous blazes in the Fall of 2023, because that’s when the Lamb of God broke the first seal of the Deed to the Earth (in my opinion).
The first time a torch signified a covenant was during the formal covenant ceremony with Abraham when God appeared as a blazing torch. (Genesis 15)
If we’re watching and recognize that the leap year 2025 AD Barley Harvest may’ve been the one that marked the beginning of the maturity of the final group of Christ’s bride, and we recognize that we’re running out of time and that we’re already well into Daniel’s 70th week; And if we see that the prophetic end dates are continuously falling into place; Then we will probably consider this Hanukkah to be very significant because it’s about the ‘living temple’ which is the penultimate expression of God the Father’s relationship with His adopted children. The meaningfulness of such of an unheard of thing can only be surpassed when we get to the New Jerusalem in the New Heavens and the New Earth where God the Father and God the Son will be it’s temple!

When the seven churches were first introduced to us in Rev. 3 as the 7 lamp stands, but we weren’t told which, if any, of the seven churches/lamp stands were actually lit. That was necessary since, even though those churches were real named churches that existed in the first century, they were chosen as models of the 7 church types of that would continue until the end of this age, each with their own challenges to overcome. The quality of flames would vary over the next 2,000 yrs. according to those challenges.But immediately after that introduction, St. John went through an ‘open door’ in the spirit; He entered God’s throne room in heavenwhere he again saw the seven lamp stands. They were ablaze before the Lamb of God setting off the climactic moment when God our Father hands the scroll of the Deed to the Earth to His Son the Lamb of God. Why would watchers have observed Hanukkah in 2025 ADT? The lighting of the lamps is what transforms a dead church into a living church. Now the lamps on a Hanukkah menorah are traditionally lit in an orderly fashion, one per day. Since it’s a memorial, the order might follow the 7 church types in the order that they were presented to St. John by Jesus Christ. (Rev. 2-3) Ephesus (the church that lost it’s first love), Smyrna (the martyr church), Pergamon (the church that sold it’s Holy Spirit gifts for profit), Thyatira (the church that tolerated sexual immorality for economic gain), Sardis (the dead church), Philadelphia (the church who has overcome and only needs to hold on to her crown) and Laodicea (the lukewarm ‘comfortable’ church that perceived themselves as rich but didn’t realize they were poor, blind and naked).
God’s spiritual temple can be spiritually dedicated when its members are cognizant of the meaning, timing and spirit of the occasion; Those who are in Christ are all drinking of one spirit, no matter where they are in the world. Being ablaze, being mature and being completely ready for Christ to harvest us are not all necessarily the same thing.
1.23 DOOR, Glory of God
In my own experience: I was so ‘on fire for the Lord’ in the beginning, that church members tried to ‘stamp me out.’ Only later did I realize I was in one of the ‘dead’ churches. I left that church but I also needed to do a lot of maturing. So what I’m really saying is that the 7 lamp stands may’ve reached their simultaneous blazing condition in front of God’s throne even before those churches reached their full maturity! It’s important to mention, because this post has mainly focused on a one month delayed maturity of Christ’s Barley Harvest bride of Christ in 2025, as the very first stepping stone from which to begin searching out the timing of the rapture; Every stepping stone after that landed on a bulls eye, one after another! (See link below to view some of the many astonishing trails that, although still valid as signs, had to be set aside for simplicity’s sake.)
A plethora of signs pointed to Dec. 21 ’25AD then another plethora to Jan. 21 ’26AD. The following channel’s videos from that time period, explain them well: https://www.youtube.com/@stevefletcher2223:
Although those signs, shown on Steve’s site, are very powerful; Our understanding of some of them has developed from what we originally expected, serving different yet still very meaningful purposes, not the least of which has been to provide more meaningful clues to encourage us, all the watchers, and guide us forward.

So it turned out that the signs pointing to Dec. 21 ’25AD seemed to be predominantly relevant to the Jews. That was the 7th day of their Hanukkah (as Rabbinical Jews observed it.)

Maturity of the bride is not the same as ‘readiness’; Christ needs to be ready too. It’s a good time for those of us who’re capable, to witness with more courage and love someone more, to push the envelope to glorify Christ, to support and edify our brethren, also to pass out Bibles and help and witness to the poor.
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead He’s patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 2:9
Could it be that the great spiritual war in heaven, the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse and even nuclear war over Iran, that’s still looming under the Ester umbrella, are all parts of the cause for this part of the delay which can also be seen as a delay before Jesus Christ, our high priest, metaphorically, lights the 8th lamp, the lamp representing our new beginning?
In the Bible ‘8’ means ‘new beginnings’ and/or ‘eternity.’ It appears that the lighting of the 7th lamp was the dedication of His true church, which is His bride and, in my opinion, also His bridesmaids. That must begin the final leg of the countdown to our new beginning. As mentioned before, perhaps there’s more than one type of reason for Christ’s delay. Jesus Christ may want a nuclear rapture, ‘in the twinkling of an eye.’ Many believers have been having visions of that. Since I wrote about that likely-hood over a year ago, it still seems like a very real possibility to me, as nuclear war looms.

The next two high-watch days were not the day in which Christ gathered His bride, but they had unexpected importance, bridging the gap until more was revealed. After Jan. 21 ’26 AD…We kept track of a 21 day delay, for the spiritual battle over Iran/Persia, Daniel 9-10 style . . .. . . counting inclusively, and it landed on Feb. 11 ’26 AD another day loaded with signs! Feb. 11 was, at least symbolically, the anniversary of the day the animals started entering Noah’s Ark because 7 days later came Feb. 17 ‘26 AD Genesis 7:11 says that God shut the door of the ark from the inside on the 17th day of the 2nd month: Of course, the calendar has shifted since then, but it was worth watching for me, because there were also many other signs pointing to that day, such as the ring of fire solar eclipse over Antarctica, I Pet Goat II predictive programming, and the fact that it was the 77th anniversary of the day Israel established its government, the Knesset!
On Feb. 11 ’26 AD Netanyahu rushed to Washington to meet with Trump; Voila! Netanyahu signed on to the Gazan Board of Peace, which I think may be the: Covenant with Death

When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by, you will be beaten down by it. Kushner Unveils ‘Master Plan’ for New Gaza at Davoshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKy_OinPYeI
The Feast of Trumpets sounds the alarm but there could have been even higher watch days that the alarm was pointing to: There’s the 9/21 high watch ‘day’ Yom Kippur/The Day of Atonement, especially if this is a Jubilee year see below, but the last trumpet of this year’s Fall season of God’s holy convocations falls on Shemini Atzeret on Oct. 2,3 or 4 or id 2026 is delayed due to a previous leap year then these things will occur in November see below
These appointed times have passed for October, but I’m leaving the rational; here because it will all simply be a month delayed. God’s has given us a stepping stone that pointed to the earlier date; but He’s been doing for years for all the high watches! it just shows that Jesus Christ is the word and he is written into the fabric of reality itself. The stepping stones are exciting to discover and they teach us in a way in which we can’t be taught just by reading without watching:
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.
Proverbs 25:2
There are 233 days from Jan. 21 to Sept. 11 2026 in the usual way of counting, but if we just count just the days in between then there are 233 days between Jan. 21 to Sept. 12 ’26.

WOW Check this out!
In Strongs Greek, 233 is ‘salt’.
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matt. 5: 13-16)
That amazing passage ties the light that we hold up and shine (represented by Hanukkah) to our saltiness upon the earth. But the passage begins with the ‘salt of the earth’.
233 days after our Hanukkah blazes are full, Earth may lose it’s salt. We are the Salt of the Earth!
Rapture!
Matthew verse 16 mentions that Christ’s followers let their light shine: Jan. 21st stands for the final light, the one that makes it complete. It’s the day the 7th lamp of the temple menorah is lit. Our bodies are that living temple. So, if I’m right it means Christ’s true church became fully lit on that day because to God, 7 means completion. To God ‘8’ means eternity. And the 8th candle represents our eternity with Jesus which will begin after the final part of His tarry.
Yes! I think that’s it! But I said above that there’s an end date that can also be beautifully calculated from the Rabbinical Hanukkah date . . . Well, it’s the same end date: 9/11 ’26 AD, but it is a 110 day count from the Rabbinical Dec. 21 ’25 Hanukkah. This is the same calculation used in the great video above – a week of distractions. Below I used the same number for a different stepping stone and I explained it’s meaning below.

A Yom Kippur or Sukkot rapture in Fall of 2026?
A Sept. 19 ’26 update -The overwhelming evidence shows that the 911 signis real, although now it seems likely that it may have been pointing to Yom Kippur, one that starts a Jubilee Year, could itself indirectly point to what’s called ‘the last great day’, Shemini Atzeret, which is a likely day for Jesus Christ to gather His bride, therapture.
Sukkot has the greatest harvest symbolism, but I’ll talk about Yom Kippur first. It’s more serious for the Jews, and it triggered an interesting study on whether or not 2026 could be a Jubilee year. The study got a bit long for this post so I moved it here: Yom Kippur Trumpet and is 2026 a Jubilee year?https://alephtav.blog/is-2026-a-jubilee-year/ The conclusion was yes there’s ample support for the Fall of 2026 to be the start of a Jubilee Year!
Yom Teruah (Trumpets) and Yom Kippur are attached as the Yom Teruah trumpets set off what’s called the 10 Days of Awe, the preparation for the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). That’s what the trumpets do – they point to things, that will happen soon. That will hopefully including the spectacular harvest of the bride of Christ this year-2026AD. The Ten Days of Awe are dedicated to introspection, repentance, and seeking forgiveness from others, as well as from God. After that, the five days until Sukkot are the transition when after having been forgiven for one more year, they begin to recover from their very deep and serious soul searching and begin to focus on the greatest harvest of the year; Then the entire nation gathers outside for 7+1 days (the extra day is mysterious but is said to be for lingering in joy) in huts -multitudes of home made huts -as they all feast under the stars knowing that they are reconciled with God, and in that way they are tabernacling with God.

Watchers are always trying to understand what exactly God meant by the last trumpet! Although the next section examines the ‘+1’ day of Sukkot (Shemini Atzeret) for the last trumpet of the year, and we found out that Torah did indeed prescribe the final trumpet of the holy year to be blown then, over a sacrifice; The Jews won’t start making sacrifices again until the 3rd temple’s built. Since the temple in heaven is still there and since the earthly temple was merely a reflection if it, we may wonder if the angels still blast a trumpet on that day to keep time for the missing sacrifices. Could the gathering of the saints – each one of which had died to their own will in order to live for God’s will, be considered as a sacrificial offering? When Jesus brought the 24 elders, who He released from captivity in Hades, up to to His Father God Almighty in heaven as the First Fruits of the Barley Harvest of Saints, it was considered to be an essential offering to God. In Leviticus 23:36, no specific time for the sacrificial offering is mentioned so conceivably, Jesus could rapture His bride at the very end of its 8th day meaning that its trumpet blow would also be saved to the end and would be the ‘trump of God’.
As described in pretty good detail at the bottom of this post, Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles is the greatest harvest feast. It spans 8 days (7 + 1). Jesus Christ may harvest His bride on Shemini Atzeret, the +1 day, also called the the 8th day.

There’s supposed to be a trumpet blow over a sacrifice on Shemini Atzeret, which is the literal last appointed trumpet blow of God’s yearly appointed times. But, without animal sacrifices happening in Jerusalem now, I think the bride herself could be the sacrifice in the sense that all saints who make up Christ’s bride have already died to themselves, their own will and have come to live only for Jesus Christ. Christ’s bride is eager and waiting to divorce this world as it currently exists in its current wicked culture; And we also welcome the rapid transformation of these sinful dying bodies, so in a way we could say that we sacrifice them also, as the old body must die as it becomes an immortal glorified body without sin nature; It will happen faster than the twinkling of an eye.

Noah’s ark
Another very high watch overlaps with the delayed year Sukkot dates shown above; We should watch Oct. 28-29 as Cheshvan 17th! But, Oct. 28-29 is not based on 2026 having been a delayed year and thus isn’t directly related to Sukkot.
The high watch based on the Noah’s Ark day of the flood . . .
. . . is the 17th day of the second month, which is called Cheshvan or Heshvan. (It’s based on the pre-Torah calendar when the year supposedly began at the start of the Fall season.) Now that’s only in the Masoretic text of the Old Testament, not the Septuagint which says it’s the 27th day of the second month. That’d probably land on Nov. 7 ’26).

What Our Bodies Will Be Like
1.27 DOOR, Glory of God
35 Some of you have asked, “How will the dead be raised to life? What kind of bodies will they have?” 36 Don’t be foolish. A seed must die before it can sprout from the ground. 37 Wheat seeds and all other seeds look different from the sprouts that come up. 38 This is because God gives everything the kind of body he wants it to have. 39 People, animals, birds, and fish are each made of flesh, but none of them are alike. 40 Everything in the heavens has a body, and so does everything on earth. But each one is very different from all the others. 41 The sun isn’t like the moon, the moon isn’t like the stars, and each star is different.
42 That’s how it will be when our bodies are raised to life. These bodies will die, but the bodies that are raised will live forever. 43 These ugly and weak bodies will become beautiful and strong. 44 As surely as there are physical bodies, there are spiritual bodies. And our physical bodies will be changed into spiritual bodies.
45 The first man was named Adam, and the Scriptures tell us that he was a living person. But Jesus, who may be called the last Adam, is a life-giving spirit. 46 We see that the one with a spiritual body did not come first. He came after the one who had a physical body. 47 The first man was made from the dust of the earth, but the second man came from heaven. 48 Everyone on earth has a body like the body of the one who was made from the dust of the earth. And everyone in heaven has a body like the body of the one who came from heaven. 49 Just as we are like the one who was made out of earth, we will be like the one who came from heaven.
50 My friends, I want you to know that our bodies of flesh and blood will decay. This means they cannot share in God’s kingdom, which lasts forever. 51 I will explain a mystery to you. Not every one of us will die, but we will all be changed. 52 It will happen suddenly, quicker than the blink of an eye. At the sound of the last trumpet the dead will be raised. We will all be changed, so we will never die again. 53 Our dead and decaying bodies will be changed into bodies that won’t die or decay. 54 The bodies we now have are weak and can die. But they will be changed into bodies that are eternal. Then the Scriptures will come true,
“Death has lost the battle! 55 Where is its victory? Where is its sting?”

Below is just a research clarification, since there’s a lot of misinformation out there:
Are trumpets blown over all 8 days of Sukkot Torah sacrifices? The following answer is from Duck .
Trumpet Blasts During Sukkot Trumpets are blown during the sacrifices on Sukkot, but not specifically on all eight days. The first day of Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret (the eighth day) are particularly noted for trumpet blasts during the offerings. Overview of Sukkot Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, is a seven-day Jewish holiday that begins on the 15th of Tishrei. It is a time of celebration and remembrance of the Israelites’ journey in the wilderness. Conclusion In summary, trumpet blasts are significant during the first day of Sukkot and on Shemini Atzeret, but they are not part of the sacrificial rituals for the intervening days.
What time of day would the sacrifices have been properly done on the 8th day of gathering, Shemini Atzeret, if there were a temple with active Mosaic Law being practiced? The following answer is from Duck .
Sacrifices on Shemini Atzeret The sacrifices on the 8th day of Sukkot, known as Shemini Atzeret, are to be offered during the day, but the specific time is not clearly defined in the scriptures. Traditionally, it is understood that they would occur in the morning, similar to other sacrificial offerings in the Temple. Traditional Understanding Morning Offerings: It is commonly understood that the sacrifices would occur in the morning, similar to other sacrificial offerings in the Temple. This understanding aligns with the general practices observed during other sacrificial offerings in the Jewish tradition.
I’ve removed huge parts of the trail we’ve used to find our way here. All the stepping stones our Awesome God provided us were relevant; I couldn’t have found my way here without most of them. Although I did all my own research, I say ‘we’ because I’m part of watcher communities in which many of us continuously have found the same stepping stones by different methods and even with different calendars! Many times I wouldn’t have known what some of the individual stepping stones meant if it weren’t for the particular insights of my beloved fellow watchers. The following link is just another piece of overflow. One that I might find useful to keep here, as this entire document/blog is really the main part of my study notes: https://alephtav.blog/110-days/
Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead on an appointed day called First Fruits, which is the first fruits ‘specifically of the barley harvest’.
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2 23-24
The idea of being of the ‘same substance’ is another reason why the bride of Christ is associated with the Barley Harvest, not the Wheat Harvest.
We’re talking about His bride, and not literal grain, so it doesn’t need to be the case that He tarries for just a month or two.
I’ve believed we’re in His tarry since a June or July 2025 Pentecost.
Let’s remember how Jesus observed the Sabbath? Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. Jesus Christ is Lord of His bride as well. Our Lord and Savior is One with the spirit of the law, but we only see as through a glass darkly. If Jesus could heal on the Sabbath, He can delay a longer to gather His bride.
The tarry ‘time limit’ scripturally is that our Lord and Savior must gather the fulfillment of His Barley Harvest, including gleanings, before He sets apart the first fruits of the Wheat Harvest,who I believe are the 144,000 who’re specially sealed before He takes His tribulation saints.

Three Harvests – each with three parts:
First Fruits of the Barley Harvest could also be the captives Jesus removed from Hades, the ‘Bosom of Abraham’, when He took captivity captive.My interpretation of the two grape harvests of Rev. 14, is that only the second harvest is the grapes of wrath.
Watching in 2025 was strange – complicated by a false prophet – a brief survey:
Will the Jews need the blood of animals during the last week of Daniel for a time, until they accept their Anointed King? Apparently they do; But since, we don’t know for sure, we should be ready for everything.(After a careful reading of many Old Greek to English translations of Daniel 9:27 and doing my own translation as well, I think yes; Many weeks of sacrifices by the Jews will be necessary because the passage mentions a payment of public (sin) debt. We know that 2/3 of the Jews will also be killed. Sadly, that could be related.)
The Feast of Dedication is the memorial of the re-dedication of the Temple of God. That first happened a few years after the ‘abomination of desolation’ event 168/167 BC.
That desolation event included a statue of Zeus, a burnt sacrifice of swine, and the spreading of swine fat on and in the Holy of Holies, all committed by Antiochus Epiphanes who was the precursor and shadow of: not only the final king of the North, but also the Beast, Antichrist, Man-of-Lawlessness, Son-of-Perdition; He was a Greek Seleucid from the territory that we now call Syria.

. . . To Cleanse the Temple of God . . .
The Feast of Dedication or Hanukkah is the observance of the anniversary of the cleansing and re-consecration of God’s Temple after the horrific event. I don’t know all the procedures that had to be done, but I expect that the ashes of a red heifer had to be used. The alter for sacrifices had to be completely rebuilt from scratch.
How ‘temple purification’ can be seen as analogous to the glorified bodies of saints, where the old body is like a seed that must die to bring it forth, is mostly foreshadowing of the bride of Christ, at least when we compare it to the temple purification, because the menorah represents God’s bride.
Relevant verses:
John 2 10-21 “All right,” Jesus replied (to the Jewish leaders). “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” But, when Jesus said ‘this temple’ he meant his own body.
1 Corinthians 6 19-20 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
1.34 DOOR, Glory of God
1 Corinthians 12 13-14 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
Ephesians 1 22-23 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way.
Corruptible must put on Incorruptible
Mortality must put on Immortality
So we individual saints are temples of the Holy Spirit. One might say we were first dedicated when we received the Holy Spirit. But, since our bodies are of sin nature, they can’t inherit God’s Kingdom. We need to ask Jesus to ‘wash our feet’ or we have no place with Him. I see the putting on of in-corruption and immortality, when we put on our new bodies, as a type of re-dedication. It’s comparable to what the bronze alter of the Temple of God had to go through; It had to be completely replaced to make it acceptable enough for YHWH to come near it. Here’s the parallel I see: In a twinkling of an eye, when believers receive their glorified bodies, they’ll be cleansed and rededicated. Only then will God our Father receive us bodily. That’s the Hanukkah connection!

This has been the most prophetic year for the
Book of Ester!
Even if Jesus tarries until the very edge of the Ester umbrella, which is the rebuilding of the masonry temple in Jerusalem, I still understand that the bride of Christ is the owner’s portion of God’s Barley Harvest. The Ester umbrella is really interesting and we’re about to get into it!
In John 5:1 Jesus Christ attended Purim. He called it ‘The Feast of the Jews’.
What I find most interesting is that a barley harvest of souls, based upon the harvest symbolism that Jesus Christ used, will still fall within the scope of the Book of Ester, even if He tarries for quite a long time after the two possible Shavuot/Pentecost dates.
I’d been wondering since late Spring if Jesus Christ, our beloved, is aligning His tarry to coincide with Israel’s bombing of the Bushehr Nuclear power plant in Susa/Elam Iran. Read on to see what Purim could have to do with that.
The events of the Book of Ester have been triggered!
In 2025 AD, Purim was observed on March 14-15 (Adar 15 ADT); A very significant blood moon sign appeared within the constellations of the Revelation 12 Sign. But on that day Virgo, which represents Israel, was the bride of Christ, who is the hidden grafted on Israel.
The cosmic sign was the middle witness of a triple lunar eclipse. The following was called out by certain watchers, before it happened: Watchers predicted there would be an earth shattering event, one that will change everything!

A month later, during the Rabbinical observance of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, on April 15, the US unleashed hell on the Houthis in Yemen. Many of their targets were blown off the map.
The only reason Israel didn’t blow up Iran’s Bushehr nuclear facility in the first weeks of May was: Trump stalled Netanyahu.
Trump wanted to try one more diplomatic round after having shown off his B-2 nuclear capable stealth bombers on Yemen, six of them costing $1.1 billion each, situated on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean within shooting distance of the Bushehr nuclear plant. (By the first week of June, Iran could have enriched their uranium to 90%.)
So it’s been just building up ever since. Too much news to put here.
1.38 DOOR, Glory of God
But, what’s happening encompassesthe entire meaning of the Purim Story . . .
Hamen foreshadows the Ayatollah Khamenei, a type of antichrist. Ester, who was adopted by Mordecai, foreshadows the bride of Christ, grafted onto the olive tree of Israel via the New Covenant in His blood, adopted into God’s family. King Ahaserius and Mordecaireflect God the Father and God the Son, but with overlapping roles. At first King Ahaseurus goes along with his top adviser Hamen, who wanted to destroy all the Jews, starting with hanging Mordecai on a gallows, because Mordecai refused to bow down to Hamen.By never sinning, Jesus never bowed down to satan, which is how he conquered death. Satan wants to destroy all the Jews because: Jesus said He won’t return until the Jews say “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” Satan would win if he could destroy all the Jews by corrupting their DNA, getting them to stop reproducing, getting them to become transhumans or by killing them. If there are no Jews left, they can never say those words and Jesus won’t return. Later King Ahaseuruschanges His mind about the Jews after Mordecai,who was a Jew, proved his love and loyalty, saving his life by revealing a plot against him.Jesus Christ, a Jew physically, proved His loyalty to YHWH, God the Father, by becoming sin on the cross in order to purchase a people for Him, while delusional satan thought he was overcoming Jesus by getting Him crucified, thus the connection with the gallows.Haman is ultimately destroyed on the very gallows he made for Mordecai!Queen Ester risked being put to death, by approaching King Ahaseuruson his throne. She revealed her Jewish roots, the truth that Mordecai had adopted her, and stood up for the Jews. This is paralleled by the fact that through the blood of Jesus Christ, the true church is adopted into God Almighty’s family. We’re given Jewish roots not only by being grafted on to the olive Tree of Israel, but by being covered by Jesus’ Jewish blood. Jesus Christ maintains our position in the most high family through His role as our High Priest forever; He’s faithful to sprinkle His holy blood on us every time we approach God our Father’s throne . . . for eternity. Ester stood up for the Jews despite the fact that she didn’t grow up in a Jewish community; She was raised more like a gentile in Persian culture despite having been adopted by Mordecai, who was Jewish. The parallel is: America, the only country in the world willing to stand for the Jews, is the country that has had the greatest/most concentrated number of saints of the bride-of-Christ since Israel was reestablished as a nation.Although the ‘church’ in America has, for the most part, divorced itself from the true word of God, the over 250 years of Christian foundation previously built, was still making it possible for America to stand up for the Jews, for a short while; not because the Jews are good, but because they’re of the promise to Abraham through Sara, and also because they’re the biological brethren of Jesus Christ, through whom God the Father sent His perfect Son who is our Savior, the one who paid the price for our eternal sin debt, with His blood.Vashti, the deposed rebellious wife of King Ahaseurus, represents the ‘Israel of the Old Covenant‘ who for the most part did not love or respect YHWH, as evidenced by rarely ceasing to be disobedient as a nation.

It’s not just the cosmic alliance that occurred on Purim that marked the catalytic event, which is related to the final outcome of the story. . . Quickly… in case some don’t know about the cosmic alliance, this prophesy was understood and revealed, actually by the enemy, who posted their interpretation on the cover of the Economist Magazine in 2017! Here’s a picture of that cover:
The card the upper right shows the March 14, 2025 lunar blood eclipse in the tail of Leo (which actually hovers over Virgo). That image represents the triple lunar witness I mentioned above; But it wasn’t shown in the accurate spot so that we’d know if it’s the 2025 or 2026 blood moon events it was pointing to. In retrospect, it was pointing to first March 14, 2025 – the catalyst date when Russia, China and Iran met in Beijing over their nuclear coordination.
The lower right card shows the resurrection of saints. All the events are associated with Purim dates. There’s much more!

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.

Characters of the Book of Ester:
Vashti = Hagar and Ester = Sarah
“These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia (under the law) and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. Be glad, barren woman, you who never bore a child; shout for joy and cry aloud, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.” (Galatians 4: 24-26)
1.41 DOOR, Glory of God
Since we’re under the ‘Purim umbrella’ I’ve been trying not to focus as precisely on every high watch date. There are just too many of them. (And, I have a hypothesis that Jesus is scooping up the symbolism of all the important ones in His tarry.) I simply can’t study and write about them fast enough.
The entire scope has been an enormously high watch time. This could continue, for reasons I’ve written about, until Purim 2026 (2025 ADT), but at the very most until the 3rd temple of God is built and sacrifices and libations are resumed; For the most part, we need to be aware that we’re in an extremely high watch season and that He’s coming very, very soon.
At the rate things are pushing forward, the temple could be built and dedicated even within 2 months of what I’m now calling ‘the second Hanukkah.’ I think the temple will go up so fast that it’ll make the world wobble.
Bushehr Provence Iran Nuclear Plant
The Book of Ester (Purim) took place in Susa Persia, which is Elam. That’s where Iran’s nuclear plant is located.
1.42 DOOR, Glory of God
Related end time prophesies:
“Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might” (Jeremiah 49:35)
Elam in Jeremiah
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might. And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come. For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the Lord; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them: And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the Lord. But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will restore the captivity of Elam, saith the Lord. (Jeremiah 49 35-39)
Continuing on with these prophesies, the following passage might also be related, although it seems like it’ll happen later:
“This is the plague with which the Lord will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another.” (Zechariah 14 12-13)
1.44 DOOR, Glory of God
Both of those prophesies sound nuclear:
Regarding the Jeremiah prophesy, if Israel bombs the Bushehr Plant, all the residents of Elam Iran will have to flee the radiation blowing in every direction with the wind. Regarding the Zechariah prophesy, dissolving flesh is known to be associated with nuclear explosions. (God’s restoration of Elam must be in the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ.)
Now that the catalytic event’s been triggered, the rest will unfold when it unfolds:
What I call the ‘Purim umbrella’ for Jesus Christ to come gather His bride, extends at most until the restoration of God’s temple. The following is an excellent video, although I’ve come to see that the time window for the rapture extends much, further, if I hadn’t watched the Supernatural by Design videos below, I wouldn’t have known! Watchers who love Christ’s appearing don’t want to jump too far in the future, as it could cause us to miss the now.
*This Changes Everything!* The Purim Eclipse Will Be Huge…Supernatural by Design
One of those videos explains how the word translated as ‘twinkling’ aligns with a flash such as an great explosion and that the word for trumpet, translated a ‘trump’ in the KJV, is associated with war.
in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” (1 Cor. 15:52-54)
1.45 DOOR, Glory of God
If you’ve seen the videos . . .
. . . you know the triple blood moon witness sign is integrated into quite a few other rare cosmic alignments, all having to do with end times prophesy, involving Iran, national Israel and spiritual Israel/the Bride of Christ. It’s all associated with the true Story of Purim and what it foreshadows:
*Although the anniversary date I’m about to describe has passed, something very interesting happened on the day preceding it. And, whether or not I’m correct about the leap year, I think it’s useful to know this:
At first this was just another high watch . . .
August 23 (the 30th of Av) was the anniversary of the day that Moses turned around and descended from the mountaintop of Sinai, where he’d been with YHWH for 40 days, in order to bring the ketubah (marriage covenant) to the Israelites.
So that’s the anniversary of the day preceding the marriage covenant with YHWH that was agreed upon by our Almighty Father’s bride, the Israelites, at the foot of Mt. Sinai in 1,440 BCT. Yes, I said the ‘day preceding’ because the anniversary of that day was the very day ground telescopes on Earth saw something!
1.46 DOOR, Glory of God
What if the anniversary of that day marked something to do with Jesus’ descent from the heavenly Mt. Zion, on His way back ‘down’ to Earth to gather His bride?
Something became visible to ground telescopes on that day, and as long at it remained in our solar system some watchers kept an eye on it. It may have seeded the sun and/or dropped something off behind Mars. Also there was a cosmic sign associated with it that almost everybody missed:
An unidentified interstellar object, called
‘3I/ATLAS’
traveled toward Earth faster than any objectever seen.
And it was making its own light.
Although NASA uses the word ‘comet’,3I/ATLAS, has been unlike any comet, in that, in the beginning and for a long time it didn’t show a tail, not until it passed Earth on its way out when it took on the appearance of a sword or a scepter. Also, part of its glow preceded it and it was unusually aligned with the orbits of the planets. It was going way too fast and it pulsated in never before seen ways. And it shined brighter than the sun when it passed behind yet slightly above it.
1.47 DOOR, Glory of God
3I/ATLAS passed closely by Jupiter in March ’26. But this image shows its path as it was in August.
It was first observed by NASA’s robotic survey project Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS), on July 1. (Interestingly, that’s between the two Shavuot/Pentecost dates June 7-8 & July 6-7.) As mentioned above, its presence first became visible to ground telescopes, on August 23 due to its nearness and the rare ‘black moon’.
The sun has been acting very strangely ever since 3I/ATLAS passed behind it, when it lit up and shined brighter that the sun. What may have been done to the sun in its close pass? Since then the sun has been acting very differently so perhaps God seeded the sun with something for the end times.
Even since the first week of April ’26, the sun has been continuing to act strangely.
1.48 DOOR, Glory of God
Some Christians have considered the possibility that 3I/ATLAS may have been a ship, sent by God to drop off transport vessels for the bride of Christ, somewhere in the vicinity of Earth, perhaps behind Mars. We can’t know, but around that time, I had a very amazing night vision: I was suspended in space – and a beautiful small, white, softly glowing, cube shaped ‘space-tabernacle’ with rounded edges, was suspended silently, about 200 feet in front of me while I was suspended in space. I believe Jesus was there. He was in the form of unspeakably beautiful, white, pure and absolutely refreshing living light – strongly emanating from a squarish opening in the base of one of the faces of the tabernacle, the one to my left.
In Greek myth, Atlas is a Titan condemned to hold up the heavens or sky for eternity.
But, satan always counterfeits God, adding deceptive twists, to detract from God’s glory.
. . . . . 3I/ATLAS?
What if ‘ 3 ‘ represents ‘trinity’ and ‘ I ‘ represents ‘the great I AM’ (YHWH)?
1.49 DOOR, Glory of God
3I/ATLAS means:
.
“Last Alert:
I the Triune God,
three persons in one,
the true atlas
who supports the world,
am on my way.”
(to rescue my bride)
3I/ATLAS is from God.
The King of kings brought a sword, that looks like a scepter. How do I know this? It has happened before and is recorded in the Bible:
A STAR RESEMBLING A SWORD AS AN OMEN TO THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM
God’s shown His heavenly sword twice before. The above video tells.
Isaiah 34 5-8
For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, (Edom) and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. And the unicorns (any animal with a single horn) shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.
1.50 DOOR, Glory of God
But there’s more!
As written above at mark 1.26 and as shown in the video there,
It points to The Parable of the 10 Virgins.
In 2016 trumpets from heaven blared over Jerusalem on the Feast of Trumpets from inside a great perfect circle of clouds.
One year later, the Revelation 12 Sign occurred, in and around Virgo!
Every year after that for 9 years, Virgo appeared lit by Venus and the sun, in a special way, concluding with the greatest sign in 2026 when Jupiter appeared to exit her womb in August.
Keep in mind that God’s Torah calendar years don’t begin in January:
Jesus Christ only promised He’d keep the Church of Philadelphia from the hour of trial/testing/temptation that’s going to come upon the whole world. No promise of a 7 year rescue intervalexists. It only says HOUR!
The ‘Before the Final Seven Years’ Rapture Idea is too Popular
Although it’s attractive, I think it’s dangerous. Simply making that assumption, causes the majority of churches to, not to really watch what Jesus Christ is doing in the world right now, which is all to His glory as He fulfills prophesy. They think they don’t need to know since they’re so sure they won’t be here when any of the seals are broken. Having said that; Based on my reading of Rev. 2-3, I think there are some individual members of the Rev. 2-3 churches who Jesus reprimanded, that are ‘secretly’ watching. The most rigid dispensation rational is that the rapture sets off the final 7 years; Period! That’s certainly appealingly simple, which accounts for its popularity, but the fourth seal/fourth horseman is the death of 1/4 of humanity – and that’s the great tribulation. I am a dispensationalist. And pre-trib, regarding the bride and the bridesmaids. But the rapture can occur any time in the first half of Daniel’s 70th week, since we’re only promised to be kept from the ‘hour of trial.’ The hour of trial doesn’t begin with the white horseman’s diplomatic march or the red horseman’s removal of general peace. And the extremely high food prices of the third seal do not happen at once on the day Jesus breaks that seal, nor will it necessarily happen everywhere or to the same degree. There are underground cities on every continent stocked with 7 years of food that the Luciferian elite have built for themselves. They are on the losing side but don’t know it since they’ve been utterly deluded by satan. The beginning years of Daniel’s 70th week could be the final segment of Christ’s tarry. Jesus knows what He’s doing and when He’s finished doing that, He will not tarry but will come exceedingly quickly. Be encouraged by the fact that there’s very important work for bride to do on Earth right now, and that the church age may have been extended a bit as there’ve been are a number of saints that Jesus has been getting ready to bring onto His ark right now!
1.51 DOOR, Glory of God
‘The Church Age’ is a human invented descriptive term.
It’s a good term, which describes something very real. But, there was a 70 year transition from the time of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ until to God’s reinstatement of His covenant time with His four final 490 year Great Jubilee Cycles. That’s when the Church Age began officially. That’s when He destroyed the temple in Jerusalem and the living temple of His New Covenant people, including all Jews who’ve been saved by faith in Jesus Christ replaced the masonry temple on Earth.
The final 7 years begin for the Jews, exactly on time, according to the Daniel 9:24 prophesy. That’s when the unrepentant Jews enter back into a covenant relationship with God Almighty for judgment, refining and God’s consummation. It overlaps or mostly overlaps with the final 7 years of the God’s covenant time as it was reinstated in 70 AD to accommodate the church, God’s new covenant people including the Jews who have accepted their Messiah. This overlapping timeline was prophesied by Daniel 9:27 (Septuagint) and turns out to encompass the New Covenant. (There even seems to be a possible ’30 day’ offset between the final week of God’s New Covenant’s covenant time vs Daniel’s 70th week (Dan. 9:24) Old Covenant’s covenant time.)
The Word of God NEVER promised that mature saints won’t be on earth when the early seals of the scroll are broken by our Savior, the Lamb of God.
Immediately before the Lamb of God takes the scroll from the hand of YHWH our Heavenly Father who sits on His throne, St. John saw the 24 elders of Rev. 5 break out in a praise song. They sang that the Lamb of God, with His blood, had purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation; They sang, ” You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
1.52 DOOR, Glory of God
That’s why I strongly suspect that the seven blazing torches/lamps St. John saw in front of God’s throne, in Rev. 4, represent the complete spirit filled bride/church of Jesus Christ, the living members. In Rev. 1:20, Jesus said, “The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels (messengers) of the seven churches, and the seven lamp stands are the seven churches.”
Perhaps the spirit filled, light shining believers will still be persevering on the earth as Jesus Christ, the holy perfect Lamb of God, takes the scroll from His Father God Almighty’s hand; Perhaps as Jesus Christ begins releasing seals He’s also preparing the way to redeem them at the perfect moment. We can only guess why He’d delay, but He clearly more than implied that He’d tarry, but also that, when He’s ready, He’ll come very quickly.
1.53 DOOR, Glory of God
What if Jesus doesn’t gather His Barley Harvest by any of these dates?
We’ll begin by taking an adjusted look at each of the high watch days that we studied last year.
Appointments with God are Dress Rehearsals
In the past it seemed to me to make most sense that Jesus Christ would gather His saints on a Torah prescribed holy convocation, because God’s harvests of souls are very important to Him and, because our Savior said, “I’ve not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it,” and because He seemed to have fulfilled four of seven of them in perfect order with His first coming. But, after much study, some watchers in the community have come around, like me, to consider that without the temple of God actually standing, it might not be possible for the remaining three holy convocations to be fulfilled, not until it’s rebuilt.
The following is a review of the high watch intervals that many of watchers, including myself, focused on in 2024:
We began with the Spring holy convocations/appointed times starting with Nissan 1 (April 8-9 ’24 AD), which began on the day after the conclusion of The Great American Eclipse, which spelled out the Aleph & Tav messianic signature of Jesus Christ.
We began with the Spring holy convocations/appointed times starting with Nissan 1 (April 8-9 ’24 AD), which began on the day after the conclusion of The Great American Eclipse, which spelled out the Aleph & Tav messianic signature of Jesus Christ. It was a warning and it turned out to be the first day of the-70th-week-of-Daniel, which is the final week-of-years of God’s allotment for human rebellion. See Post:
Then we studied the harvest typology of Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits! Without the excitement of the imminence of His return, going through the process of understanding all of God’s harvests of the earth would’ve been impossible.
The very interesting possibility of Pentecost/Shavuot 2024 came and went in 2024, but it’s still the appointed time that was, and is, loaded with the most Messianic Barley Bride Harvest symbolism! There’s a question about if it was completely fulfilled in the year of Christ’s ascension, because He wasn’t on or near the earth on the day He sent His Holy Spirit down. Some Bereans think that since Pentecost is a pilgrimage, and the Holy Spirit has yet to make the return trip to heaven, with the saints, that Pentecost couldn’t have been completely fulfilled. It’ll continues to be a high watch time for me in 2025. There’s always a possible one month delay for Spring to spring and for barley to ripen. But there’s also the tarry and the fact that Jesus said He’d come on a day we won’t expect. What will I be doing? I’ll be watching! Why? Jesus said WATCH!
There were two very interesting high watch intervals in late Spring/Summer. One is when ‘the bread meets the wine’. That’s the overlap of the wheat harvest, the end of the grain harvests, with the grape harvest. For the Israelites, it was the time of marriages and even the ‘snatching of brides’ by the tribe of Benjamin! And of course, there was the 9th of Av, the day of disasters! What would more disastrous to the Israelite Jews than God taking His mostly gentile bride! Although, making them jealous turns out to be a very good thing for them.
1.55 DOOR, Glory of God
I think Jesus Christ wants us to get to know Him better by trekking through this entire adventurous process, at least those who are led by the spirit to take this type of journey!
He is Love and merciful, and ultimately He brings perfect justice. Vengeance belongs only to Him because He’s the only perfect. Eternal grace to those who believe that God gave Himself, in the person of His beloved Son/God the Son, and payed the full price of our unpayable eternal sin debt; And that He will adopt us into His holy eternal family. Then He’ll delight in sharing the mysteries of all truth with us, imparting complete knowledge and wisdom, the treasures of which are hidden in God the Father, the Holy Spirit and the Christ.
Then came Yom Teruah commonly called Feast of Trumpets upon which a major prophetic event occurred in 2024! (See posts 3, 5 & 8.)
Yom Teruah (Trumpets), with its many trumpet blows, seems to have been partially fulfilled in 2023 and again in 2024 with partial removals of the restrainer, as controlled by the Lamb of God. In my opinion, He has broken the first and second seals from YHWH’s throne room by the time I’m writing this. It makes perfect sense based upon the major events that followed in both those years.
1.56 DOOR, Glory of God
This site definitely respects that the Holy Spirit has been working through saints to restrain the antichrist spirit on Earth. That includes restraining the Antichrist himself. But, I also think that the Holy Spirit restrains in other ways. Remember when God said to Zerubabbel that the second temple would be built not by might but by His Spirit. The seals on the scroll also restrain. I believe the Holy Spirit in involved with that as well, just in a different way. Revelation 4 makes a HUGE deal about Jesus Christ being the only one in the universe worthy to break them!
Yom Teruah didn’t turn out to be the day of the Open Door Harvest in 2024-2025, so when it passed, AlephTav.blog refocused on Yom Kippur.
Glory to Almighty God in the Highest, Lord of the Ages!
Jesus is our High Priest and Sole the Atoner of our sins with His precious blood.
It’s now apparent that neither the 2024 nor the 2025 Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) was the appointed time of our gathering to our beloved Bridegroom, Redeemer, Savior of the world. The Day of Atonement has been my first choice, if it comes on one of God’s remaining unfulfilled yearly appointed times, because of its meaning. It’s His life blood that coversus. But a trumpet is only blown on Yom Kippur in the beginning of every 49th year to announce the 50th year, which is the Jubilee Year. I recently came to realize that there’s a strong argument for the final Jubilee Year of this age to begin on Yom Kippur in the Fall of 2026. See mark 1.26.6 above.
1.57 DOOR, Glory of God
Sukkot was the next appointed time interval:
Sukkot, also called the Feast of Tabernacles, is the 7 + 1 day pilgrimage appointed time/holy convocation. It was the one, mentioned in the Book of Acts that Jesus Christ didn’t attend at first, because the Pharisees and Sanhedrin were planning to kill Him. Jesus tarried, then He attended incognito at first, but halfway through He began teaching in the temple courts. On the greatest and last day of Sukkot, Hoshana Rabbah, Jesus gave these words: “Let anyone who’s thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
Sukkot, is loaded with the most harvest symbolism and has the literal ‘last trumpet’ blow of the year on God’s Torah calendar! There have been 21 trumpet blows practiced traditionally. It makes sense because the last day of Sukkot is 21 days from Feast of Trumpets (inclusive counting). It’s interesting that it matches the number of the seals + trumpets + bowls, in the Book of Revelation that lead up to the final Battle of Armageddon! Torah Law requires trumpet blows on Sukkot, but they’re only over sacrifices.
Since there’s neither a temple of God nor animal sacrifices for God right now why did we watch? Well . . . we were still excited about the evidence for our Lord and Savior’s return in 2024, and so didn’t want to overlook any possible appointed days in 2024 or in any years, especially those with huge harvest, trumpet, messianic even tarrying’ typology. It might’ve been the day our Lord and Savior came for us; We knew we didn’t know everything and didn’t want to shut ‘our doors’ on that possibility in case it was THE DOOR.
1.58 DOOR, Glory of God
Another reason Sukkot is especially interesting was because: It’s a pilgrimage! The harpatzo/rapture can be seen as a leg of a pilgrimage. The mysterious Open Door Harvested Saints, the Tribulation Saints and most likely also the saints from the Olivet Harvest will all make a journey from Earth to heaven, but will all together return to Earth with Christ. At that time, on the return leg of the ultimate pilgrimage, He’ll be in His Full Awesome Glory!
What purpose will the Levitical Priesthood actually serve when Third Temple is built?
One might wonder how we could’ve even considered ‘Sukkot’ when the Day of Atonement 2024 hadn’t yet been fulfilled? I’m not getting deeply into it here, but there’s the possibility that Jesus Christ did partially fulfill Yom Kippur when He atoned for our sins with His blood in 31 AD. Some scholars think Jesus sprinkled his blood on the heavenly Ark of the Covenant after His ascension to the heavenly Zion. But, since the reported discovery of the Ark of the Covenant in a cave immediately below where Jesus Christ was crucified at Golgotha, other saints believe that His holy blood dripped down through the rocks and landed on the Mercy Seat during His crucifixion.
1.59 DOOR, Glory of God
So then why not completely fulfilled? That could only be because God’s plan isn’t completely fulfilled until at least 1/3 of the Jews are atoned for; God must fulfill His promise to Abraham. Daniel 9:27, in the Old Greek, makes it clear that the Old Covenant isn’t consummated until just before the sacrifices and oblations in the 3rd temple are stopped by the Beast.
Finally, there’s also the special 8th day of Sukkot, ‘Shemini Atzeret’ an extension for the purpose of lingering, because it’s so lovely. I believe that one day we will linger with our Lord during this beautiful outdoor memorial during His Millennial Kingdom.
All along we learned about the amazing Messianic typologies and all these will again be high watches every year until He comes.
If we’re still here.
Anniversary of Noah’s Ark
After the season of High Holy Days passed. Watchers, including myself, turned our focus on the anniversary of the day God closed the door of Noah’s Ark, and seven days before that, because Jesus Christ is the Ark and He is also The Door.
PS –
TheRed heifer ashes are necessary to purify the 3rd masonry temple of God.
