is for you too!

Scripture speaks of a secret place where we can simply go, be alone, be

protected, pray,

and hear from

ב YâHuWsHúa.

Knowing there is such a place is a matter of faith. Going back time and

again, that's a matter of building a relationship. You need not have an

advanced degree in any subject, need not have memorized Scripture

from beginning to end, but instead

be aware the

Of Y’Ishra’al

Has a place for each Jew and Gentile who will open their minds and

hearts to Him.

Mt 6:5-8

When you pray, you shall not be as the role-fakers, for they love to

stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets,

that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have

received their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into your inner

chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father Who is in

secret, and your Father Who sees in secret shall reward you openly. In

praying, don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think

that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Therefore don’t be

like them, don't you see that your Father knows what things you need

before you ask Him.

The truth in reality is visited in this secret place AND must be shared

by those who will live or else ... they will perish ... in darkness.

It is written

Lu 11:33

“No one, when he has lit a Lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket,

but on a stand, that those who come in may see the Light.

Tehillim. 119:105

Your Word is a Lamp to my feet, and a Light (aur) for my path.

The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole

body is also full of Light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of

darkness. Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.

If therefore your whole body is full of Light, having no part dark, it

shall be wholly full of Light, as when the Lamp with its bright shining

gives you Light.”

ב

With this in mind, heart soul and strength let us study together in the

Raukh

And now brothers and sisters

Come out of the secret place bearing light!

Who see it from afar? The Secret Place, here, shines a bit of light so

many can see from afar. The topics we have chosen are addressed to

Jew and Gentile together. We do this because that is what the Bible

does. This opens the window to make more sense of what Scripture

tells us!

In the secret place is plain language, something simple to read. This is a

mere starting place for deeper consideration.

Dan_7:25

And it shall speak words opposing the Most High, and it will wear

down the pure ones of the Most High Ones, and it will try to change set

times (Festivals) and Law, (Lawlessness) and they shall be granted into

its hand for a time and times and half of a time.

And then I will profess to them,

‘Never did I acknowledge you: even if you are on My lap and do not do

the will of My Father Who is in heaven, out of My lap will I cast you

away! Depart from Me, all ye workers of Lawlessness!’

So that in them is fulfilled the prediction of Yshá`Yâhuw, which says:

“You shall surely hear, but you shall not understand; and you shall

surely see, but you shall not perceive! For the heart of this people has

grown thick, and they do hardly hear with the ears, and they have shut

their eyes, lest they should see with their eyes, and with their ears

they should hear, and their heart should understand, and they should

return to Me and I should cure them.

The Hebrew Bible is fully aware of that. Deuteronomy declares the

worship of sun, moon,

and stars as allotted by

that is to all the other peoples

Dev 4:19.

And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto Shomayim, and when thou seest

the

Shemesh, and the yarei'ach, and the kokhavim, even all the tz’va

HaShomayim, shouldest be driven to hishtachaveh (bow down, worship)

them, and serve them which Hashem Aloheicha hath divided unto kol

HaGoyim under kol HaShomayim.

Duet 4:19

"or lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens and see the sun, the

moon, the stars, and all the armies of heaven, you should be impelled

to bow down to them or enslave yourselves to these [things] that

has apportioned to all the nations under the whole heaven;

There is no “hard copy” of Him! People want something they can identify with, which is what makes the “god-man” concept so attractive, because it makes them

think they can be gods too. We can only understand what

Allows us to know about Himself, and we cannot control what we cannot

comprehend. Apportioned: divided, assigned, distributed; Aramaic,

"designated to serve". I.e., He gave them to all the nations and they

are common (contrast v. 20).

But none of them is to be identified specifically with

Dev 4:20

But Hashem hath taken you, and brought you forth

Out of the iron furnace, even out of Mitzrayim, to be unto Him an Am

Nachalah (a people of inheritance), as ye are yom hazeh.

Deut 4:20.

"But

has selected you, and brought you out from the crucible of iron--from Egypt--to become His own--for the purpose of being a people [that are His own] prized

possession, just as [is the case] today."

Any wood placed into a furnace for smelting iron would be consumed

immediately. Egypt completely used them up, while feeding them—like

pack animals. Even the products forged of iron there—chariots—were

used to kill them. Now they were going to a place that would serve

them rather than consuming them. Nothing in the Tabernacle was

made of iron;

Had no use for it at this point. Prized possession: How awesome! Why

throw away such a rare privilege and settle for something that the

nations all stoop to--nations that He considered a mere drop in the

bucket in comparison

Yeshayah40:15?

Surely the Goyim are like a drop in a bucket, and are accounted as dust

of the scales; surely He taketh up the iyim (islands) like fine dust.

Isa 40:15

See, nations are as a drop in a bucket, and are reckoned as dust on the

balance. See, He lifts up isles as fine dust.

YahuwDah had appointed to burn incense on the high places in the

cities of YahuwDah and in the places all around Yerushalayim, and those

constellations, and to all the host of the heavens

consulted, and whom they have worshiped; they shall not be gathered

up, nor be buried in a kever; they shall be like domen upon the surface

of ha'Âthâ´m ah.

Yirmeyah 8:2 ;( modern version)

And shall spread them before the sun and the moon and all the host of

the heavens, which they have loved and which they have served and

after which they have walked, which they have sought, and to which

they have bowed themselves. They shall not be gathered nor buried;

they shall be for dung on the face of the earth.

Blood Moon is a term popularly used to describe a Total Lunar Eclipse. When

the Earth casts its shadow on a Full Moon and eclipses it, the Moon may get

a red glow.

ב

In recent years, the term Blood Moon has become popular when

referring to Total Lunar Eclipses. When the Earth eclipses a full Moon,

the direct sunlight is blocked, but the sun's rays still light up the moon.

This light, however, has travelled through the Earth's atmosphere

first, and sometimes causes the totally eclipsed Moon to look red or

brownish.

The Final Jubilee Year is 2015-2016

The final Jubilee will begin on the Day of Atonement in the fall of

2015. There will have been 40 complete Jubilee cycles following

Christ’s death. Isn’t that interesting? There are so many 40’s in the

Bible and 40 is a significant number to God. The 40 Jubilees after

Christ’s death bring us to the end of probationary time.

2018 will be the YEAR of RIGHTEOUSNESS

The Sealing of the Righteous by the End of the 18th Year Confirmed:

More things have come to light that show a relationship between

the Creation Week, the Feast Days, the Sacred Calendar, the

Agricultural Year, the 6000 Years from Âthâ´m Halley's Comet,

the Messiah's Two Comings, the Seasons, the Jubilees of Days, the

Sealing of the Righteous and the Last Days.

All the units of time in

Sacred Calendar point to the 18th Year as the Year when the Sealing

of the Righteous will end and Wheat Harvest of the Righteous will

begin. Note how many times in the above you get the 18 + 22 =

40 combination where the number 40 signifies cleansing. The cleansing

will be the sifting of the Wheat when the chaff and the tares are

removed by the wind. The Wheat are the Righteous, and the chaff and

the tares are the wicked and unbelievers. The children of Y’Ishra’al

should have entered into the Promised Land at the time of the Fall

Feasts after searching out the Land for 40 Days. But because of their

fear and rebellion were forced to live in the Wilderness for 40

Years until the unbelieving and disobedient died off. The number 40 is

the number of cleansing.

18 = Righteousness and the Righteous,

7 and 22 = the Maschiyach and

26 =

The Father.

Total Eclipse

A Total Eclipse occurs when the moon is completely blocked from the

sun. When the Moon is in this location it is in the Umbra region of the

Earth's Shadow. The Umbra is darkest region of the Earth's shadow

and receives little or no solar radiation

The Umbra is darkest region of the Earth's shadow

The umbra (Latin for "shadow") is the innermost and darkest part of a

shadow, where the light source is completely blocked by the occluding

body. An observer in the umbra experiences a total eclipse. The umbra

of a round body occluding a round light source forms a right circular

cone; to a viewer at the cone's apex, the two bodies are equal in

apparent size. The distance from the Moon to the apex of its umbra is

roughly equal to that between the Moon and Earth. Because the Earth

is 3.7 times wider than the Moon, its umbra extends correspondingly

farther, roughly 1.4 million kilometers The Umbra is the Raukh world, a

shadow or reflection of the real. It is inhabited by Raukhs, gods,

ghosts, and various other supernatural beings. The Umbra can broadly

be thought of as all realms that exist beyond the mundane terrestrial

existence of Earth. Rather than existing as a single universe, the

Umbra embraces many versions of reality permanent inhabitants and

have considerable difficulty interacting with the day-to-day reality of

Earth (hereafter simply referred to as 'reality' for brevity's sake).

Some people believe that the tetrad has special significance because the eclipses coincide

with important Y’Isra’alie festivals. The two April lunar eclipses in 2014 and 2015 occur at

the same time as Passover, while the October and September eclipses occur during

the Feast of Tabernacle. This, they suggest, is connected to a biblical prophecy of the end

of times.

The fact is, eight of the tetrads since the first century have coincided with Y’ishra’ali

holidays without the world going under, so there is no reason to believe that the 2014-2015

tetrad will end the world this time either.

? where are we now in realtion to prophecy?

(This speaks of a plague in conjunction with )

“And you shall begin to hear of fighting’s and reports of fighting’s. See

that you are not troubled, for these have to take place, but the end

is not yet. “For nation shall rise against nation, and reign against

reign. And there shall be scarcities of food, and deadly diseases,

and earthquakes in places.

Umbria (/ˈʌmbrɪə/; Italian pronunciation: [ˈumbrja]), is a region of

historic and modern central Italy. It is the only Italian region having

neither a coastline nor a border with other countries. It includes the

Lake Trasimeno, Cascata delle Marmore, and is crossed by the

River Tiber. The regional capital is Perugia. Umbria is known for its

landscapes, traditions, history, artistic legacy, and influence on culture.

The region is characterized by hills and historical towns such

as Assisi (a World Heritage Site associated with St. Francis of Assisi,

the Basilica of San Francesco and other Franciscan sites, works

by Giotto and Cimabue), Norcia (the hometown of St.

Benedict), Gubbio, Spoleto, Todi, Città di Castello, Orvieto, Castiglione

del Lago,Narni, Amelia, and other small cities.

? What Color shadow do the seas reflect on a red moon night?

Yo’al 1:1-20;

The word of

That came to Yo’al, the son of P’thu-Al:

P’thu-Al means “Äluahiym has opened up/made spacious”.

Yo’al 1:2.

Hear this, you old men, and cup your ear, all you who inhabit the Land.

Has this come about in your day, or even in your fathers’ time?

Has this: Aramaic, has anything like this…? In your day: He is

addressing those who have already lived long lives and can see that this

does not fit the normal pattern.

Yo’al 1:3.

“Tell your children stories about it, and [have] your children [recount

it] to their children, and their children to [yet] another generation.

The devastation that is coming is so vast that it will be the fuel for

campfire-tales for centuries. The reason to recount is so that they do

not repeat the same error, because

will repeat the lesson if He has to.

Yo’al 1:4.

“What the devouring worm left, the swarming locust has eaten; and

what the swarming locust left, the locust-larva has eaten; what the

locust-larva left, the stripping-locust has eaten.

Devouring worm: or cutting-locust or caterpillar; Aramaic, crawling-

locust. Stripping-locust: the root word means “to finish off”. One wave

after another comes, and a little at a time is eaten, which is just how

the Land is being given away now to Y’Ishra’al enemies.

Yo’al 1:5.

“Wake up, you drunkards! All you who drink wine, both weep and howl

on account of the [freshly] pressed-out juice, because it has been cut

off from your mouth.

Yo’al 1:6.

“Because a nation has come up over My Land, vast and innumerable, its

teeth the teeth of a lion and having the fangs of a roaring lion.

Nation: the locusts may be a picture of an actual nation that will

overrun the Land if YahuwDah does not repent. The reference to a lion

suggests Babylon, for that was its symbol.

Yo’al 1:7.

“It has rendered My vine an appalling waste, and splintered My fig

tree, stripping it completely bare and tossing it aside; its [intertwining]

branches have been made white.

My vine…fig tree: both prophetic idioms for Y’ishra’al.

Yeshayahu 5;

1. "Now I will sing for my Beloved my uncle's song concerning his

vineyard: 'My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile spur [of ground].

Uncle: or "Beloved", but a different word in Hebrew from that which

precedes it, though they share a common root. Probably both refer to

. Very fertile: literally, "son of fatness/oil". Spur: literally "horn", from

a root meaning "to send forth rays". בהיה carried the parable further.

Mark 12

2. "'And he dug [into] it and threw the stones out of it, and planted it

with the choicest of vines, and built a watchtower inside it. He also

hewed out a wine vat, and waited eagerly for it to produce grapes. But

it produced wild, rotten fruit!'

Wine vat: traditionally built as close as possible to the vineyard so as

little juice as possible is lost. The choicest of vines: California proved

that the best land combined with the best vines produces the best

wine. This is what

expected. Rotten: includes the connotation of smelling foul.

3. "'So now, inhabitants of Yerushalayim and men of YahuwDah, please

judge between me and My vineyard!

4. "'What more could have been done for My vineyard that I did not do

in it? When I was expecting it to produce grapes, why did it produce

wild, rotten fruit?

5. "'So, now, I'll go ahead and make known to you what I will do with My

vineyard: I'll take away its protective hedge, so it can be grazed in, and

make breaches in its wall, so it can be trampled down.

Had given Y’ishra’al special protection and care, but since it flouted

this in His face, He left it open to all the forces that affect all the

other nations without His special attention.

6. "'I'll let it waste away; it will not be pruned or hoed, and briers and

thorn bushes will come up. I will also command the clouds to keep from

dropping rain on it',

Compare the forsaken sukkah in 1:8.

7. "because the vineyard of

of Armies is the House of Y’Ishra’al, and the man of YahuwDah is the

plant that he handles tenderly. And He looked expectantly for justice,

but what [He found] was bloodshed! For ethical vindication, but what

[He found] was a cry for help!

Justice...bloodshed; ethical vindication...a cry for help: Hebrew

wordplays, juxtaposing mishpat

with mishpakh and tz'daqah with tz'aqah.

8. "Alas for those who make [one] house extend all the way to [the

next] house, who cause [one] cultivated field to run up close to

[another] field, until they run out of space and you are forced to dwell

in your loneliness in the middle of the countryside!

Until they run out of space: or "until the Place comes to an end". "The

Place" is often a euphemism for the Temple or the One who inhabits it.

This is reminiscent of there being no room for בהיה at his birth during

Sukkoth, when the temporary shelters were packed so thick that he

had to be born in one in the open country outside Beyth Lechem, at the

Tower of the Flock.

Micha 4:8; 5:2

But each tribe was also to have its own "standard" (banner). We are to

be set apart from other nations, but then Y’ishra’al is not meant to be a

homogeneous "melting pot"; holiness will not look the same for

everyone. Tearing down walls is not the meaning of biblical unity;

rather, each part of the Body needs to fulfill its function for the good

of the whole. Where houses and fields are all flush with each other,

there is no room for roads to lead to Yerushalayim. And this just may

be the specific intent. Bavel's dream was to stay settled when

says to be pilgrims.

9. "In my ears,

Of Armies [has sworn],

'If most [of these] houses don't become desolate, and big, prosperous

[ones] without inhabitant...!

10. "‘because the area ten yoke [of oxen could plow in a day] will

produce [only] one bath, and a homer's [worth] of seed will yield [only]

an eyfah!'

One bath...an eyfah: the equivalent volume in liquid and dry measure. A

homer: Ten times the size of an ephah, so the yield would actually be

only a tenth as much as what was planted. One would have to choose

between eating and planting.

11. "Woe to those who get up early to run after intoxicating beverage,

hanging back in the twilight; wine causes them to hotly pursue.

12. "And there were lyre and harp, tambourine, flute, and wine in their

drinking-parties, but they pay no attention to the things

Does, nor do they notice the works of His hands.

13. "For this reason My people have gone away into exile: due to lack of

knowledge. Its important ones are persons of famine, and its

boisterous crowds parched from thirst.

Gone away into exile: or "removed the covering". Remember that

clothing can be a symbol of tribal affiliation (4:1), so being "unclothed"

in exile means loss of identity. (Compare v.8 above.) Knowledge: as in

chapter 3, the structure can be intact outwardly, but if there is no

understanding of why we obey the Torah, it is easy for it to seem like a

mere burdensome tradition.

Hos. 8:12

. Though I write for Him ever so many things [about] My Torah, they

are considered like a foreign thing.

Ever so many things: or, myriads of things; alt., great things. The more

Sacred(set apart) we become, the more He teaches us, and the more

things we realize we can no longer do, because we realize they are

foreign to His way of thinking. But for many years the Church has

considered the “Old Testament” a foreign thing, a thing of the past,

something that just doesn’t fit with its culture of liberal grace. But if

we are far away from Him, which of the two has been the one to leave

14. "Therefore She'ol has made its appetite grow wider, and gaped its

mouth to the point of having no limit, and their adornment, roaring,

tumult, and the triumphant person will descend into her.

She'ol: the underworld, or the place of the dead. Remember what

happened to Qorakh.

(Num. 16)

15. "Then humanity will be brought low and man set in a lower place, and

the eyes of the haughty will be humbled,

The immediate context is Y’ishra’al before her enemies crushed her,

but this particular verse has a wider context in our day as "humanity"

(Heb., "Âthâ´m "), rather than

is being made the measure of all things. Man: or "a man"--perhaps the

counterfeit Messiah, who is also haughty.

Y’hezq’al 29:3

. “Speak and say, ‘This is what the Master

says: “Indeed I am against you, O Pharaoh, king of Egypt—the great

crocodile who stretches out in the midst of his rivers, who has said,

‘My Nile is my own, and I have made it for myself.’

Crocodile: the counterfeit of what Moshe’s rod became (Shemot 7:9,

this being an alternate pronunciation of the same word, tannin). This

arrogant one thinks he created rivers just because he can divert them.

The pope boasted that he had “changed” the Sabbath to Sunday just

to prove he had the authority to do so! Water is often symbolic of the

Word of

, and the Church has co-opted even this with its own (personally-

centered) version of the Gospel.

16. "But

Of Armies will be exalted with justice, and the Al who is set apart will

be shown to be separate through righteousness.

Exalted with justice: raised to prominence in an appropriate, rightful,

deserving manner, through due legal process, unlike those who since

Nimrod's time have tried to make a name for themselves. There are

again judges and authorities in place who do right. Shown to be

separate: includes the sense of being treated accordingly as in a class

of His own, and the way He distinguishes Himself as unique is that He

does right. We also demonstrate His sole worthiness by doing right

ourselves.

17. "Then the lambs will graze as in their own pasture, while sojourners

eat the places deserted by the fat ones.

Their own pasture: includes the sense of being accustomed to it, thus

being at ease. Fat ones: at root, the term means "obliterators". In

other words, the haughty (v. 15) who stepped on others to "get to the

top" will leave their goods to the needy who come seeking temporary

hospitality among

Flock. But even the ones who were righteous, when satisfied with

plenty, tend to forget

Deut. 32:15;

15. "But when Yeshûrûn grew fat, he started kicking. (You have grown

fat--grossly so--gorged to the point of satiety [and stubborn].) And he

deserted Aluahiym, the One who made him, and treated the Rock of his

deliverance as unimportant.

Yeshûrûn: the upright, straight, unbent one

"pet name" for Y’Ishra’al. It is only used when the whole nation is in

unity. We were healthy and well-provided for, but became spoiled,

thinking we deserved these blessings, so he stopped saying “thank you”

and rebelled. We thought we no longer needed

Yet why, then, would we think we had a need for the lesser

Äluahiym

who could not even do as much for us?

nly because they were exotic and more exciting to the flesh. So it was

not always better for us when we had the best. When we were needy

in the wilderness, we still had YHWH, and things went better. There

was a unity that did not exist after we entered the Land and were

separated out by tribes.

Prov. 30:9

Lest I become satisfied and deny You, And say,

“Who is

And lest I be poor, and steal, And seize the Name of my Äluahiym

18. "Woe [to] those who drag perversion along with worthless cords,

and [pull their] sin as with a cart rope,

19. "Who say, 'Let Him hurry and finish what He is making quickly, so

we may see it! And let what the Sacred One of Y’Ishra’al has been

devising approach and enter, so we may become acquainted with it!'

Reminiscent, perhaps, of the way the men of S'dom responded to

Messengers, this is a perverted curiosity—expecting

Work to be only spectacular excitement but not a challenge to true

Sacredness. Though we wish for

בKingdom to come "in our lifetimes and in our days", the first part of

Work to bring it about will not be "pretty" for those who are looking

for novelty.

Amos 5:18-20

. “‘Woe to the ones who long for the Day of

Whatever for? For you, the Day of

is darkness, not light!

Be careful what you ask for! This is very much like many today who

are expecting the Kingdom to be a time of peace and glory for

themselves, but are mistaken about where they stand with

Since they do not walk in His Torah.

“‘It [will be] like when a man was escaping from a lion, and a bear

attacked him, or he went into the house and rested his hand on the

wall, and a snake bit him.

Just when they thought they were safe, a worse thing befell them.

The house…snake: The counterfeit Messiah is present both within

Judaism and Christianity.

20. “‘Isn’t the Day Of?

Indeed darkness and not light, and as dark [as after the sun has set],

with no brightness in it?

20. "Woe to those who avow that evil is good, and say good is evil, who

put 'darkness' for light and 'light' for darkness, who define bitter as

'sweet' and sweet as 'bitter'.

Put...define: the same term in Hebrew; i.e., who change the definitions.

Who has not likewise shuddered in our day to hear people raving about

things they define as "wicked!" or "bad!"? But how much worse to call

pagan holidays "blessed" or say that obeying the Torah is contrary to

will.

21. "Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and holding up their

own faces [conspicuously] as intelligent!

22. "Woe to those whose claim to fame is [how much] wine [they can]

drink, and men whose [only area of] expertise is mixing intoxicating

beverage,

23. "who vindicate the cause of the wicked for a bribe, and take the

good legal standing of the just away from him

24. "Therefore, as the fire's tongue devours the chaff, and the dry

grass droops to the flame, their root will be like something rotten, and

their flower will go up [in smoke] like a cloud of dust, because they

have rejected the instruction of

of Armies, and despised what the Sacred One of Y’ishra’al utters.

25. "This is why

Breath has become hot upon His people, and He has stretched out His

hand against it and punished it. Then the hills shook and their corpses

like off-scouring in the middle of the streets. Despite all this, His

anger is not turned back, and His arm is stretched out still.

Punished: literally, struck. Off-scouring: or "dung" (to be swept away).

26. "Moreover, He will lift up a signal-flag to the distant nations, and

will whistle for it [to come] from the ends of the earth, and indeed, it

will come quickly [on] light [feet]!

27. "There is not a weary or feeble one among them; not one will be

drowsy, and not one will fall asleep. The undergarment of its loins will

not be loosened, nor will the thong of their sandals be undone,

Feeble: or "stumbling". Undergarment not loosened: i.e., they will not

even stop to relieve themselves, so quickly will they come! Nor the

thong...undone: he emphasizes that they will not stop to rest in any way!

28. "Whose arrows are sharp, and whose bows bent! Their horses'

hoofs will be considered to be like flint, and their [chariot] wheels like

a whirlwind!

Flint: i.e., very hard. Wheels...whirlwind: How reminiscent of Aliyahu's

chariot ride to the heavens.

29. "Its roaring is like a great lion, and it will roar like young lions; and

it will growl and seize the prey and carry it away, and there is none to

rescue.

30. "And in that day, it will roar over it like the roaring of the sea.

When one considers the land, then behold! Darkness and distress, and

the light is darkened by its haze."

Distress: a tight spot, oppression, or a "hard place".

Hoshea 9:10

10. I found Efrayim like grapes in the wilderness; at first their fathers

appeared to Me [to be] like the first-ripe fruits of a fig tree. [But

then] they came to Ba’al-Pe’or and consecrated themselves to a

shameful thing, and they became [as] detestable as that which they

loved.

Grapes in the wilderness: reminiscent of the great cluster brought

back to Moshe from the Valley of Eshqol. (Numbers 13) He had great

delight in them at first, like one who finds luscious fruit when very

hungry. Ba’al-Pe’or: Where Bilaam had the Moavites seduce Y’Ishra’al

into idolatrous orgies. Consecrated themselves: the same word as that

of becoming a Nazirite; LXX, were shamefully estranged; Aramaic,

attached themselves.

When the two are used together, it is usually an idiom speaking of

safety and peacetime

Mikha 4:4;

4. But each man will sit under his [own] vine and under his [own] fig

tree, and nothing will make them quake [from fear], because the mouth

of

[Commander] of Armies has spoken!

His own: He will not be tending them for someone else, but will have

his own supply. The vine and fig tree both require peacetime to produce

fruit, for they must be carefully tended, and their pruning takes time.

בalluded to this verse in Yâhuwchânâ´n 1:48-50. By saying He had seen

Nathan’al “under the fig tree”, it told Nathan’al that He would be there

when this time of peace comes, and that He would be the Messiah who

would sit on the throne in that Kingdom.

Zkh. 3:10

10. “‘In that day,’ declares

[Master] of Armies, ‘each of you will invite his fellow to [come] under a

vine and [to a place] under a fig tree.’”

Under a fig tree:

This is what

ב `was referring to when he said he had seen Nathan’al under the fig tree

(hence his astonished response in Yochanan 1:48). He was saying that

he had already seen him here in his Kingdom, where there is no guile.

“Under one’s vine and under one’s fig tree” is also an idiom for dwelling

in safety (1 Kings 4:25; compare Micha 4:4, which is clearly in the

context of the Messianic Kingdom), because both require peacetime to

tend properly, as they ripen at different times and need constant

attention to keep predators away.

Because one must be present at the time of the harvest for both

because the crops would be eaten by birds as soon as they are ripe if

not picked. As such the fig tree is an idiom for the Kingdom

Yâhuwchânâ´n 1:47

ב `

saw Nathan’al coming towards Him, and says about him:“ Look! Truly a

son of Y’Ishra’al in whom there is no deceit.” as foreshadowed by King Shlomo’s

1 Kings 4:25

And Yehud ah and Y’Ishra’al dwelt safely, each man under his vine and

his fig tree, from Dan as far as Beersheba, all the days of Shelomoh.

White: the sappy heart of the fig tree is exposed by the locusts. This

is the third layer from the surface. The buds—the hope for growth in

the days to come—would have to have been removed as well.

Yo’al 1:8.

“Lament as a virgin clothed with sackcloth [weeps] over the bridegroom

of her youth!

Wine is a symbol of joy

Tehillim 104:15

And wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make the face

shine, And bread which sustains man’s heart.

And if it is gone, it bespeaks cause for mourning. I.e., over being

bereaved of her betrothed husband before they could consummate

their marriage.

Yo’al 1:9.

“The tribute and the libation have been cut off from the House of

the priests who minister to YHWH have [begun to] mourn.

Though

used the lack of wine to get their attention since it seems nothing else

would (v. 5), here is the real reason for mourning when there are no

grapes: we can no longer

keep

Commands to drink-offerings along with many of the required

slaughtering.

Yo’al 1:10.

“The cultivated field has been ruined; the ground mourns, because the

grain has been devastated. The new wine is dried up; the fresh oil has

been used up.

Or, the oil-bearing tree has withered; the Aramaic Targum renders

it, the olives have fallen off.

Yo’al 1:11.

“Be dried up, you who plow! Howl, O vinedressers, over wheat and over

barley, because the harvest of the field has been lost!

So many of

Lessons are built around the motif of nature that it behooves us to be

involved more physically with crops and animal husbandry so that we

can get His point more easily.

Yo’al 1:12.

“The vine has been dried up and the fig tree has drooped!

Pomegranate, date-palm too, and apple—all the cultivated trees—have

dried up, because joy has dried up from the sons of Âthâ´m

Drooped: again, a picture of the loss of hope of harvest. Most of

these trees are mentioned as part of the blessings

Would bring to those who remember to thank and obey Him.

Deut. 8:6-20

Apples, on the other hand, are seldom mentioned in Scripture without

relation to courtship and love. So even this is now lost to

His people complained when these things were missing from their diet

(Numbers 25); now He is complaining that they have not provided for

Him. They have not taken care of the vineyard He entrusted to them,

so He is taking it away

Mat. 21:33-41

“Hear another parable:

There was a certain man, a householder who planted a vineyard and

placed a hedge around it, and dug a winepress in it and built a

watchtower. And he leased it to farmers and went abroad. “And when

the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the

farmers, to receive its fruit “And the farmers took his servants and

beat one, and they killed one, and they stoned another. “Again he sent

other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them.

“And at last he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They shall respect my

son.’ “But when the farmers saw the son, they said among themselves,

‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and let us possess his

inheritance.’ “And they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard,

and killed him. “Therefore, when the master of the vineyard comes,

what shall he do to those farmers?” They said to Him, “Evil ones! He

shall bring them to evil destruction, and lease the vineyard to other

farmers who shall give to him the fruits in their seasons.”

Yo’al 1:13.

Tie on [sackcloth] and lament, O priests; howl, O ministers of the altar!

Come, spend the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my Aluahiym,

because the tribute and the libation have been held back from the

House of your Aluahiym!

Priests: Repentance should begin with those who know best, and who

are chosen to teach others.

Mal. 2:6-7

“The Torah of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not

found on his lips. He walked with Me in peace and straightness, and

turned many away from crookedness. “For the lips of a priest should

guard knowledge, and they seek the Torah from his mouth, for he is

the messenger of

of hosts.

His protection is removed because they have not paid attention to the

sins of their brothers and corrected them. Everyone is making sure

they have enough joy, and have not noticed that the keg is almost

empty. We cannot just obey and mind our own business, for in Y’ishra’al

our brother’s actions are our business. Today we do even worse at this.

We must repent.

Yo’al 1:14.

Have a fast set apart; proclaim a restraint! Gather the elders—all who

inhabit the Land—[into] the House of

your Aluahiym, and call out to

[for help].

The priests cannot be content to themselves repent; to see the

tragedy overcome, everyone must be called together again to

concentrate on repentance and Restraint: or stopping (of work) –

“dropping everything” for the purpose of assembling together. At Yom

Kippur (and during the days leading up to it) we mourn so that we can

have absolute joy only five days later at Sukkoth. Much of Y’ishra’al is

still worshipping a god-man, when this is a concept that began with

Tammuz. We must finish cleaning the closet and tend

Vine more carefully!

Yo’al 1:15.

Alas for the day, because the Day of

is near!

Indeed, like a destruction from Shaddai it will come!

Though this is one instance of the “Day of,

There is a larger one coming, but the purpose is the same: purging His

Land of sin.

Yo’al 1:16.

Isn’t the food cut off in front of our eyes, [and] gladness and

rejoicing from the House of our Äluahiym?

Yo’al 1:17.

The grains of seed shrivel up under their clods [that are swept away].

The storehouses have been ravaged, the granaries broken into, because

the grain has dried up.

Yo’al 1:18.

How the beast gasps! The herds of cattle are confused, because there

is no [pasture] for them to feed on. The flocks of sheep, too, have

been harmed.

Yo’al 1:19.

To You, O

Will I call, because the fire has devoured meadows of the wilderness,

and the flame has scorched all the trees of the field!

Fire: Aramaic, an east wind as mighty as fire. With all the greenery

devoured, it is easy for the wildfire to spread.

Yo’al 1:20.

Even the wild animals pant longingly after You, because the water-

channels have dried up; the fire has devoured the meadows of the

wilderness.

Yo’al 2:1-32;

“Blow a shofar in Tzion! Sound an alarm-signal in My set-apart

mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the Land quake, because the Day

of

Has arrived (because it is drawing near)--

. “a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness, like

the dawn that spreads over the mountains—a people vast and

numerous; from ancient times, there has not been one like it, nor will

there be another after it throughout the years of generation upon

generation!

Like the dawn: this is a terrifying army, but it brings light where it

goes. Thick darkness: from a term meaning to drip, so this darkness is

like that of rain droplets so dense that they blacken the clouds

“angrily”. As in Mal’akhi 3:1-2, Yo’al might ask, “Are you really eager for

it to come?”

3. “A fire consumes in front of it, and behind it a flame will scorch.

Before them the Land is like the Garden of Eden; after them, an

uninhabited wasteland, nor is there any escaping it.

The Aramaic Targum adds, “for the wicked”.

4. “Its appearance is like the appearance of horses, and they will gallop

like steeds of war.

6. “Because of their presence the peoples will writhe in anguish; every

face will heap together glowing heat.

Heap together: Aramaic, be covered with a coating of black like a

pot.

7. “They will run like brave heroes; they scale a wall like men of war.

Each of them goes on his own path, and they will not change their

course.

8. “Not a man [among them] will crowd his brother out, and they walk

[as] a hero on the causeway he has raised up; when they attack with

missiles, they will not be stopped

Causeway: i.e., a siege-ramp.

9. “They will rush about in the city; they will run along the wall. They

will climb up onto the houses; they will come in through the windows

like a thief.

10. “The ground has begun to shake before them; the skies have begun

to tremble! Sun and moon have darkened, and the stars have withdrawn

their brightness.

This army does not look like human beings, but like horses. (v. 4) the

description seems in a way more like tanks, yet they need to be small

enough to come into windows. It could be that they are “drones”

designed to keep unwilling soldiers from needing to go to the

battlefield. There is a new type of unmanned fighting vehicle being

released by the Pentagon that is equipped with machine guns and

cameras so that it can be driven by remote control. Children today who

are becoming experts at video war games may actually grow up to

direct them, possibly even without knowing the war is real. They can

even run over bombs without being destroyed. (A possible alternate

reading of the last phrase in verse 8 is “though they lunge between the

weapons, they will not be cut down.”) The United States now controls

the palaces of Babylon, and as such may fulfill another instance of this

prophecy.

11. “And

has employed His voice before His force, because His camp is very

vast, for the one who carries out His word is mighty! Because the Day

of

is great and very terrifying; who can endure it?

Any army

Employs, even Bavel, can be called His, for He would have spared them

if they had not gloated over their victory and given themselves credit

for it.

12. “Yet even now,” declares

“Return to Me with your whole heart and fasting and weeping and

lamentation.”

Even now: It is too late to avoid this punishment completely; it has

already been determined. (v. 8) But it is not too late to repent.

13. So tear your heart and not your clothes, and return to

Your Aluahiym, because He is merciful and compassionate, slow to

anger and abounding in loving-kindness, and [can be] moved to pity in

regard to the calamity.

Tear your heart: The heart is a muscle. Tearing a muscle makes it

grow back stronger and fuller.

Takes a fatherly approach here rather than a motherly; He lets us

experience the pain so we will remember not to repeat the same error.

Not your clothes: Do not show the outward signs of mourning if you are

not actually contrite. This is Yom Kippur language. Those of us raised

on television and movies have learned to be actors, but

does not want obedience to His commandments pretended. We cannot

make things right merely by saying, “I’m sorry.” Requiring

accountability for our actions is the way of love, because we thus help

the wrongdoer make things right again. The one who was wronged has

the responsibility to rebuke and thereby teach, and both parties come

out better. This pattern fosters intimacy between Y’Ishra’alite

brothers. Someone else is sharing the same burden. But Paul warns us

to be sure the one doing the correcting is also solidly on his own path

of repentance so he does not fall into the same temptation. (Gal. 6:1-8)

Slow to anger: literally, long of nose. Remember how Nin’veh responded

to Yonah and how his prophecy was not carried out for that reason;

some prophecies are contingent on our response:

14. Who knows? He may relent and be moved to pity and leave behind

Him something to present [on one’s knees]—a contribution and a

libation for

Your Aluahiym.

He is not saying He will make the chastening less severe, but that

amidst the devastation that is bound to come, He may allow enough to

be spared to fulfill the requirements for the Temple which are in

danger of being unavailable (1:9, 13), so that at least their guilt will not

be aggravated further.

15. Blow a shofar in Tzion! Set apart a fast! Proclaim a shutdown [for

the purpose of convocation]!

Here we see a synopsis of Yom T’ruah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkoth, for

the word for shutdown is atzerah, related to Shmini Atzereth, the

“encore” added after Sukkoth to “close it all in”

. Wants us to focus on the season of repentance that leads

immediately to joy. I f we learn from it and walk in it, we will be able to

endure this chastening.

16. Gather in [the] nation! Set the congregation apart! Assemble the

elders! Collect the little children and those who nurse at the breasts!

Let the bridegroom come out of his bed-chamber and the bride from

her wedding-canopy!

Everyone, great or small, no matter how preoccupied with the best of

pursuits, needs to come be part of the collective repentance. Like the

Dr. Seuss story, it will take every last Y’Ishra’alite being about

Y’Ishra’al rather than self to save us from destruction this time. Even

the aged still have a responsibility. Even babies count too! Even

honeymooners need to put aside their pleasure and help, for we need

them to do their part too.

17. Let the officiators--the ministers of

Weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, “Spare Your

people, O

, and do not let your inheritance be given over to disgrace, so that

Gentiles would dominate them! Why should they say among the nations,

‘Where is their Aluahiym?’”

18. Then

may be jealous for His Land and have pity on His people.

May: The rest of the chapter is not a blank-check promise, but is

contingent on obedience to verses 12-17.

19. Indeed,

May respond and say to His people, “Here I am, sending you the grain

and the new wine and the fresh shining oil, that you may be satisfied

with it, and I will never again make you an object of scorn among the

nations.

20. “And I will take the northerner far away from you, and cause him

to be banished to a dry, desolate land with his face toward the eastern

sea and his rear toward the backmost sea, and his stench will ascend,

and his foul odor will go up because of causing great things to be done.

The northerner: that is, the army that is coming down from the

north (for the northern Kingdom, the Assyrians; for the southern, the

Babylonians, for both have to traverse the fertile crescent and

approach from that direction rather than taking the shorter route

across the desert). Foul odor: from the Hebrew word for putrefaction.

21. “Don’t be afraid, O ground; rejoice and be glad, because

Is causing great things to be done

22. “Don’t be afraid, O wild beasts, because the meadows of the

uninhabited land are sprouting [and greening up]—because the tree has

borne its fruit; the fig tree and the vine have employed their ability!

23. “And sons of Tzion! [You] rejoice and be glad in

Your Aluahiym, because He has given you the early rain to the right

[extent], and will cause the rain—the early and the latter in the first

[month]—to come down for you.

Early rain: pouring rains, which follow hard on the heels of the fall

festivals. (Compare Hoshea 6:3.) To the right extent: the whole phrase

can also be read “teacher into righteousness”, so we can expect there

to be a symbolic sense to this as well. This is the title of one that the

Dead Sea Scrolls described as the priestly Messiah, and is alluded to in

Yochanan 11:28. Aramaic, has given you back your teacher in

righteousness. Deut. 32:2 compares

His teaching to rain and dew. Mikha 5:7 compares the remnant of

ya’aqóv to the dew and rain from heaven in its relation to the peoples

around it. Undoubtedly this also alludes to our role as teachers, since

we have learned Torah first. Latter rain: the term means “gatherer of

the after crop” such as when one gleans the field. First month: the

month of the Aviv, in the spring, when the timely rain brings the crops

to maturity.

24. “The threshing-floor will be full of grain; the winevats will overflow

with new wine and fresh oil.

25. “Then I will cause you to be compensated for the years that the

swarming locust, the locust-larva, the stripping locust, and the

devouring worm have eaten—My great army that I sent upon you.

Compensated: with better years, according to the Aramaic Targum.

The four waves of locusts may represent the four successive empires

that enslaved YahuwDah, as laid out by Dani’al. The ways of these

nations continue to affect us, and thus we still need to be healed of

their influence on us, which did devour our heritage.

26. “And you will eat to consume, and will be satisfied, and you will rave

about the Name of

your Aluahiym, who has done extraordinary things with you, and My

people will not be disconcerted forever.

Done extraordinary things: the phraseology used in Psalm 126:3.

Disconcerted: or ashamed, disappointed. My people: here and in v. 27,

the Aramaic adds, the house of Y’Ishra’al.

27. “Then you will know that I am in the innermost part of Y’Ishra’al,

and I am

Your Aluahiym, and there is none in addition, and My people will not be

disconcerted forever.

28. [3:1 in Hebrew] “And afterward what will take place is that I will

pour out My Raukh on all flesh, and your sons and daughters will

prophesy, and your old men will dream dreams; your choice young men

will see ecstatic visions,

29. “and I will even pour out My Raukh on the slaves and maid-servants

in those days,

30. “and I will appoint conspicuous signs in the skies and on the land—

blood and fire and columns of smoke.

Columns: actually spreading wider at the top like the shape of a palm

tree (which is the root word). This strongly suggests a mushroom cloud

such as that produced by a nuclear bomb.

31. “The sun will be transformed into darkness, and the moon into blood

before the great and terrifying Day of YHWH arrives.

32. “And what will take place [is that] any who may call on the name of

will be rescued, because on Mount Tzion and in Yerushalayim there will

be a refuge [to escape to], just as

has said, as well as among the surviving remnant whom

calls [by name

Any who call: This is the answer to “Who can endure it?” in v. 11.

Those who find shelter in the “secret place of the Most High” will see

many fall right beside him, but be spared (Psalm 91—the well-known

“table in the presence of their enemies” of Psalm 23:5; compare

Yeshayahu/Isa. 26:20). Those who grieve for the failure to attend

Appointments will be gathered in. (Ts’fanyuah 3:18) An earthquake will

allow those held captive in the city to escape. (Zkh. 14:4ff) Calls by

name: Aramaic, they will be delivered whom

Appoints.

Yo’al 3:1-21

CHAPTER 3 (4 in Hebrew)

1. “Because, watch! In those days and at that time, [in] which I will

bring back the captives of YahuwDah and Yerushalayim,

2. “I will also assemble all the Gentiles and bring them down to the

Valley of Y’hoshafat and will enter into legal proceedings with them

over My people and for Y’Ishra’al, My inherited share, whom they have

caused to be dispersed among the nations and have divided up My Land.

Legal proceedings: the Hebrew word is related to the name

Y’hoshafat

has judged”

This valley may be the confluence of the Qidron and Hinnom valleys

surrounding Yerushalayim. The Aramaic has the Valley of Judicial

Decision, and I will call them to account. Divided up: to distribute

amongst themselves—just what is being done to the Land of Y’Ishra’al

today.

3. “They have also cast lots for My people and have been assigning the

boy to be a prostitute and have sold a girl with wine, and they drank

[it] up.

4. “And after all, what are you to Me, O Tzur and Tzidon and all the

districts of Filistia? Are you completing repayment to Me? And if you

are repaying Me, I will bring your recompense back on your own head

swiftly and soon,

What are you to Me: Aramaic, what are you reckoned before Me?

Bring your recompense back: Aramaic, make your deeds recoil.

5. “as you have carried away My silver and gold, and brought the

pleasant things [that] I treasure into your temples.

6. “And the children of YahuwDah and the children of Yerushalayim you

have sold to the children of the Greeks, in order to take them far away

from their border[s].

Greeks: Heb., Yavanim. This has been done to us again through the

Church, with its making the Greek version of the "New Testament"

pre-eminent over the earlier Hebrew and Aramaic versions, and thus

giving a Greek slant to everything about it.

7. “Watch as I stir them up from the place to which you have sold

them, when I have brought your recompense back on your own head.

Stir them up: Aramaic, bring them back openly.

8. “That is, I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the

descendants of YahuwDah, and they will sell them to the Shva’im—to

[go toward] a far-away nation, because

has spoken!”

Shva’im: Sabeans, the Kushite people of the Queen of “Sheba”. Since

these nations have never brought the balance and shown mercy to

Y’Ishra’al by knowing when to stop their cruelty when we had had

enough punishment, there is no mercy available to them either.

9. Call this out among the nations: “[Prepare for] a holy war! Wake up

the brave [heroes]! Let them approach! Let all the men of war come up!

Men: the particular term means “frail” or “mortal”.

10. “Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning-tools into

spears; let [even] the disabled say, ‘I am a brave [hero]!’”

Disabled: Aramaic, weakling. This is the reverse of what

Says in Yeshayahu 11. The fact that the Gentiles have only plowshares

means that by this point they have pretty well made peace between one

another, but just when they think they have peace sewn up, He calls

them on the carpet with the one renegade, Y’Ishra’al, which abstains

from its unification.

is issuing a challenge and a dare like Golyath did with Y’Ishra’al. He

makes use of their pride to bring them all to the place where He can do

away with them all in “one fell swoop”. He tells them to go ahead and

rattle their swords and beat their shields, but knows there is no power

behind them. They are playing with the “Big Boy” now!

11. Hurry and come [to the aid], all [you] nations from round about, and

assemble yourselves there! O

lead [as] Your brave heroes [press] downward!

12. “Let the Gentiles be stirred up and let them climb to the Valley of

Y’hoshafat, because there I will sit down to judge all the nations from

round about [on every side].”

13. Extend the sickle, because the harvest is ripe! Come in! Get down

[to work], because the winepress is full; the wine vats have overflowed,

because their wickedness is [so] abundant!

Extend the sickle: Aramaic, Put the sword into them, for the time of

their end has arrived. Winepress: linked with

Wrath in Disclosure 19:15, which also says a sharp sword proceeds

from בהיה’s mouth to accomplish this.

14. Murmuring crowds in an uproar in the Valley of Decisiveness—

because the Day of

is near in the Valley of Decisiveness!

Murmuring crowds: Aramaic, army upon army. Decisiveness: strict,

final decision. Like the Latin-based term, which is based on the word

for cutting, as we see in the related terms “incisive” or “excise”, the

Hebrew term is also based on the word for sharpness. The outcome is

described in Yeshayahu 66:24.

15. Sun and moon have darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their

brightness.

16. , too, will roar from Tzion and employ His voice, and the heavens and

earth will quake—but

is a shelter for His people and a place of protection for the

descendants of Y’Ishra’al.

At the same time He is a violent threat to our enemies, seeing what

they are really made of, His merciful, protective side toward His own is

seen in vivid contrast.

17. “Then you will recognize that

I am

Your Aluahiym,

Who dwells in Tzion, mountain of My set-apartness, when Yerushalayim

has become consecrated and those who are alienated do not pass

through her anymore.”

18. And what will take place on that Day [is that] the mountains will

drip [with] sweet wine [that is pressed out], and the hills will bring

milk, and all the channels of YahuwDah will bring water when a spring

from the House of

Proceeds forth to irrigate the dry river bed of acacias.

Bring milk: Aramaic, flow with beneficial things.

19. “Egypt will become a wasteland and Edom a desolate wilderness due

to the cruelty of the sons of YahuwDah [in] which they shed innocent

blood in their Land.

Cruelty: injustice, wrong, violence; the Aramaic interprets it as

violence done to the people of YahuwDah, not by them. Shed innocent

blood: alt., who poured out blood with impunity (if speaking of

YahuwDah).

20. “But YahuwDah will remain forever, and Yerushalayim to generation

upon generation,

Will remain: the Aramaic interprets it as a different tense—will be

inhabited.

21. “and I will clear the blood [guilt that] I had not left unpunished,

because

Is settling down in Tzion.

I will clear: This may be a reference to the blood of

whose blood the tribe of YahuwDah called down upon themselves, and

which many of their generations have had to bear the consequences of.

When all this is accomplished, and YahuwDah as a whole repents for

killing the king of all Y’Ishra’al,

will acquit this tribe which is chiefly being addressed here.

Yo’al 3:13-15

"Put you in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for

the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great."

Acts 2:16-21

"But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Yo’al: And it shall

come to pass in the last days, says

And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth

beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke: The sun shall be turned

into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable

Day of Yahuah come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall

call on the name of

shall be saved."

Disclosure 6:12-17

And I beheld when he had opened the 6th Seal, and, lo, there was a

great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and

the moon became as blood; . . . . Hide us from the face of him that sits

on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of

his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"

A Blood Red Moon happens when the Earth comes between the Sun and

the Moon during a Total Lunar Eclipse. The occurrence of 4 Blood Red

Moons in sequence is a fairly rare event and is now happening.

In 2014 and 2015 there a sequence of 4 Total Lunar Eclipses called

a Tetrad. A Tetrad is a group or collection of 4 of anything. All 4 of

these Total Lunar Eclipses will be Blood Red Moons. The 1st one began

on April 15, 2014. The 2nd will be on October 8, 2014. The 3rd will be

on April 4, 2015. And the 4th and Las twill be on September 28, 2015.

Note that there will be approximately a 6 Month interval between each

of the 4 Total Lunar Eclipses (Blood Red Moons). 6 Months = 26

Weeks and the Sacred Number 26 is the number of

Sacred Name!!

Keep in mind that a Tetrad of Lunar Eclipses (Blood Red Moons) are

relatively rare. From 1600 to 1900 there were no tetrads at all! During

the 21st Century there are 8 sets of Tetrads. Another amazing thing

about the 2014/15 Tetrad is that they all fall near or on the Y’ishra’al

Calendar Sacred Days (keep in mind that the Y’Ishra’alie Calendar is a

Solar Lunar Calendar):

1st Blood Moon on April 15, 2014

Y’Ishra’alie Passover

April 15-22, 2014.

2nd Blood Moon on October 8, 2014

Y’Ishra’alie Sukkot (Tabernacles)

October 9-15, 2014.

3rd Blood Moon on April 4, 2015

Y’Ishra’alie Passover

April 4-11, 2015.

4th Blood Moon on September 28, 2015

Y’Ishra’alie Sukkot

(Tabernacles)

September 28, 2015 to October 4, 2015.

The closest on September 28 will also undergo a total lunar eclipse.

(Note

September 28, 2015 will also be a Super Moon).

Note:

A Super Moon can be a New or Full Moon closely coinciding with

perigree, the moon's closest point to Earth in its orbit. A Super Moon

looks larger than normal, and affects the Earth's tides. In 2015 there

will be 6 Super Moons:

January 20, February 18, March 20, August 29, September 28, and

October 27, 2015.

Does this not beg the question?

Talking of the Apocalypse that is about to begin

For every matter there is an appointed time, even a time for every

pursuit under the heavens: A time to be born, and a time to die; a

time to plant, and a time to uproot; a time to slay, and a time to heal;

a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a

time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to throw

away stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace, and a

time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a

time to keep, and a time to throw away; a time to tear, and a time to

sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a

time to hate; a time for battle, and a time for peace.

Futility! Futility!” said the Qoheleth, “All is futile.”

Understanding that which is about to come upon us

The Pure Glad Tidings According To Yâhuwchânâ´n

According to

בWhat has been is what shall be, what has been done is what shall be

done, and there is no new matter under the sun. Is there a matter of

which it is said, “See, this is new”? It was here already, long ago. My

being hates your New Moons and your appointed times, they are a

trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them. The new wine shall fail,

the vine shall languish, all those glad at heart shall sigh.

I until I come.

Then I shall take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain

and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards

Is History about to repeat itself: I believe so?

Among the interpreters of the Apocalypse, both in ancient and modern

times, we find a vast diversity of opinions, but they may be all reduced

to four principal hypotheses, or modes of interpretation: -

The Apocalypse contains a prophetical description of the destruction

of Yerushalayim, of the Y’Ishra’alie war, and the civil wars of the Holy

Revival of the Holy Roman Empire (US of E)

It contains predictions of the persecutions of the Nätzräya/

Hebrew/Y’Ishra’alie under the heathen emperors of Rome, and of the

evil of the Catholic Church under the Christian emperors, from

Constantine downwards. It contains prophecies concerning the

tyrannical and oppressive conduct of the Roman pontiffs, the true

antichrist; and foretells the final destruction of popery. It is a

prophetic declaration of the schism and heresies of Martin Luther,

those called Reformers, and their successors; and the final destruction

of the Protestant religion.

“This prophecy, which predicts the calamities which

Should send on the enemies of the Gospel

, is divided into two parts.

The first is contained in the closed book;

The second, in the open book.

The first concerns the earth and the third part

, i.e., Yehud ah and the Y’Ishra’alie nation,

The second concerns many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and

kings,

The H.R.E (Holy Roman Empire.)

The book written within and without, and sealed with seven seals is

the bill of Separation (divorce) sent from

To the Y’Ishra’alie nation.
