Still on Watch

Every year is a repeat of the run up, of expectancy and wonder, in contemplating our immediate departure. This year, most watchmen agree, that it is the most likely of years, and spring the most likeliest of seasons. We understand more, now, than we ever have, for HE has revealed it to us little by by little. We understand the types and inferences, the connections and patterns. The clock has wound down on the counting of the years of a generation. This is the year of shifting between the two sevens of Joseph, where HE (Yeshua) will become the owner (for the glory of the Father) of the land, the livestock, and the people. 

The Feasts of God......are for the redemption of Israel, but our departure is still “THE sign of His coming.” It must come on a day that Israel will understand it’s significance, and see that it was written in the scriptures from the beginning (because the LORD never does anything for us that He hasn’t fully documented beforehand). He said that this generation WILL NOT PASS until all these things are fulfilled! That means that this next seven years (of famine, sorrow and trouble) must be completed BEFORE Israel reaches the completion of her 80th year, at her 80th birthday. (Israel, do not stir up Love before it is time!) Also, 2021 to 2028 is a shemita cycle, with the proper counting of the months. In addition, the two calves with the number seven on their heads were born in spring 2014.

The Departure seems to be hinted at in the in the account of the Second Passover given in the 30th chapter of the book of 2 Chronicles. There was so much joy in the observance of the covenant feast, that the people celebrated from the 14th day of the second month, for two whole weeks! The enthusiasm lasted until the 28th day of the second month! This would be the very DAY of the Ascension of Jesus from the sight of His disciples. Since He Rose from the dead on the 17th (the day of victory!), then He was with His disciples for 40 days, He ascended on the 43rd day after Passover! 

The ecklasia (the called out ones) are called the body of Christ. The two witnesses of His Ascension told the disciples that He would return in the same manner He was taken up! The clouds received Him out of their sight, and Paul tells us we will meet HIM in the clouds. The Bride of Christ is one body with Him, so does the imagery of Revelation 12, where the man child is snatched up to heaven, also predict the date of our own ascension? Is HIS Ascension, also our own, in identification and date, but separated by two “days” (two thousand years), because just seven days later is the Feast of Shavuot, when is the changing of the guard (the dispensation, or God’s way of dealing with mankind)?

We shall see.
