Pentecost 2019 (June 2, or June 9): Is it Rapture Day?

*** Begin Update #1 ***

The high watch dates on which these prophetic events were expected did not occur.

All of the prophecies had no specific dates attached to them, so the prophecies are still valid, still expected future events that are likely to occur in the near future.

Sunday June 2, 2019 is likely Christian D-Day

I woke up around June 2016, after I heard about the Sept. 23, 2017 celestial alignment and Revelation 12 prophecy.

If you're reading this, you are likely awake; how long you've been awake, I don't know.

I have come to trust God.  Subsequently, I found Julie Whedbee who Blogs about God, and her visions and conversations with God.

Julie's latest posting of May 26 2019 deserves your attention:

https://iamcallingyounow.blogspot.com/2019/05/first-fruits-governing-body-and-choices.html

She says translation of Jesus' First Fruits (His crown jewels) is soon upon us.

I believe Jesus is referring to Pentecost 2019, the Latter Day Rain.

I believe that Enoch's Calendar, with days running from sunrise to sunrise, with each New Year starting on the Wednesday next occurring after the day of equilux (12 hrs light, 12 hrs darkness) at Jerusalem Israel is the correct calendar of God.

Therefore, I believe that Pentecost 2019 falls on June 2, 2019.

Note that many Nominal Christians, Jews, MSM, and most others wrongly think that Pentecost is on June 9, 2019.  I believe it's on Sunday June 2, 2019.  I believe some will receive God's Latter Day Rain on this day, starting sometime after sunrise at Jerusalem Israel, likely continuing as the sunrise circles the globe from there.

Jesus says that for the purpose of His End Times process, you and everybody else will fall into one of 4 different categories as of that moment:

1. First Fruits (Jesus' crown jewels) who believe in Him, follow His Commandments, and have isolated themselves from Satan's World so as to focus 100% on Jesus' Word, and His Kingdom.  Some of these people have finished their duties and will soon go to Heaven to be with Jesus.  Others will be Sealed and remain on Earth to finish their Holy Work during the Tribulation Period.
2. Sealed Tribulation Saints who are wanting &/or trying to be a "True Christian", but they are still mucking about in Satan's world, and haven't yet adequately cleansed themselves.  They need to clean up their act ASAP, as the Eternal clock is ticking.  Because they are Sealed, Satan can't steal them from God, but they can still miss Heaven because they fail to get their act together in time.
3. The Nominal Christians, non-Christians, pagans, Muslims, Buddhists, Spiritualistic persons, chronic sinners, agnostics, theists, deists, confused, apathetics, atheists, and those of similar ilk.  Jesus says they are in the Valley of Decision.  They are soon in for the shock of their life.  Wise wags say there are no atheists in foxholes when the shelling and machine gun fire starts.  You 'aint seen nothing yet.  These people have the farthest to go, but can still make it if they truly want to change quickly.  Because of their wayward lives, the Spiritual Rules of Engagement say these people are like wild game in the woods during open hunting season for Satan and his demons to plunder, running over, blowing up, shooting, netting, spearing, poisoning, or trapping them at will.  While you may have started in Category 3, you can choose to:  a) Live by the sword, die by the sword;   or b) Surrender or be Captured (then be given 10 days to join Satan or be killed by torture &/or beheading);   or c) Escape, Survive, & Endure.  Until its too late, everyone in Category 3 can decide to become a True Christian, then perfect their daily practice of their new-found faith; hopefully completing all mandatory steps before the final buzzer sounds.  A few people may be able to evade Satan for the 7 year Tribulation period, but nobody (not even Satan himself) will be able to evade Jesus Christ in the end.  People in this Category had better hurry up and pledge allegiance to Jesus (get in Category 2 ASAP), then start perfecting their practice of Christianity; or else!
4. The Lost, Damned, and Satan's Choice.  They lost their souls long ago, and/or are (&/or will soon will be) demon possessed, and likely hopeless.

I suggest everybody get the Christian Quick Study Manual, and double check that you have all mandatory steps completed before its too late.  Here it is:

God's Day: When does it Start (Part 3 of 5)?

This is the 3rd of 5 parts in examining the issue of when does God's day begin.

In Part 1 (God's Day:  When Does It Start?), we offered the proof of Matthew 28:1 when Mary went to the sepulcher to find Jesus had risen.  In Part 2 (God's Day:  When Does It Start?_Part 2), we offered the biblical evidence of Genesis 19:30-38 when Lot's daughters were plotting on how to get pregnant.  In Part 3 (this posting), we offer the evidence of Exodus 10:1-14 when God brought the plague of locusts upon Egypt.

3rd Witness:  Exodus 10:1-14 Plague of Locusts

The Eighth Plague: Locusts

1And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him: 2And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.

3And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me. 4Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast: 5And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field: 6And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh. 7And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed? 8And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go? 9And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the LORD. 10And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you. 11Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.

12And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left. 13And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. 14And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.

In Verse 4, God promises a plague of locusts in Egypt the next day if Pharaoh refuses to let the Hebrews go.  In Verse 11, Pharaoh agrees to let the men go, but refuses permission for the women and children to leave Egypt.  Therefore in Verse 12, God tells Moses to bring on the locust plague upon Egypt.  In Verse 13 the wind comes out of the East all the rest of that day and all that night, then when it was morning, the locusts arrived in Egypt, exactly like God warned.

If we assume that the day starts at dawn, then the locusts came exactly when God said they would come.

Remember, locusts have attacked Egypt and other regions on Earth before the time of Moses, and have attacked since, even up to 2019.  Some swarms of locusts were less, some swarms were worse than the others.  A swarm of locusts does not prove God.  A particularly bad swarm of locusts doesn't prove God.  But when the worst swarm of locusts ever seen is predicted, then shows up exactly on cue, that could prove to Pharaoh the existence and power of God.

If we assume the day starts at sundown, the locusts came 12 hours late, and would therefore raise the question in Pharaoh's mind whether God controls the locusts, or perhaps there was just a partial coincidence.

Therefore it is suggested that God's locusts showed up exactly on-time, exactly as predicted by God, and therefore we conclude that God's day begins at sunrise.
 
We therefore conclude that God's day begins at sunrise.

I realize that this conclusion is against Jewish tradition.  Remember however, that the Jews of today name their months differently than what they are called in the Bible.  The Jewish months are currently named after Babylonian names.  If the Jews are influenced (or corrupted) by Babylon as to the names of the months, could the Jews also have been corrupted as to the start of the day?



Hebrew Emtymology, The 4th Witness

Based on Jewish Hebrew, we have the meaning of evening and sunrise, as follows:

Hebrew for Evening (Strong's H6153) is Ereb  ערב
means mixing or blending, which should be interpreted as blending of day and night.

Hebrew for Morning (Strong's H1242 ) is Boqer הבוקר הוא בוקר
is derived from breaking, delineation, separation, and demarcation; which should be interpreted as the point between yesterday and today.



Other Biblical References

There are many other Biblical descriptions for day starts in the Bible. For example:

Genesis 1:16-18, 8:22
Exodus 10:13, 12:6, 12:18, 16:2-3, 16:22-27, 18:13, 32:5-6
Deut 16:1, 16:6, 21:23
Lev 6:20, 7:15, 23:5, 23:26-32
Num 11:32
Joshua 7:6-13, 8:29
Jeremiah 33:20-21, 25-26

Summary

To the best of my knowledge & belief, most or all of these other references are either silent, or could be reasonably interpreted by either assumption (either sunrise or sunset as the start of day).  Therefore all of the other biblical references are weak or of no benefit in resolving this issue.

I know of no Biblical reference that clearly supports sunset as the start of God's day. 

I know of no Biblical reference that clearly contradicts the sunrise as the start of God's day.


My Decision

For me and my family, we are now switching how we celebrate God's weekly Sabbath.  We will now  celebrate Sabbath for the 24 hour period from sunrise Saturday to sunrise Sunday.

On to Part 4 --->  (link added 2019-09-28)

God's Day: When Does It Start (Part 2 of 5) ?

In the previous post (God's Day:  When Does It Start? we showed by Matthew 28:1 that God's day starts as sunrise.

However, Deuteronomy 19:15 says:

"A single witness shall not rise up against a man on account of any iniquity or any sin which he has committed; on the evidence of two or three witnesses a matter shall be confirmed."

and this caution is confirmed by 6 other similar verses in the Bible.

Therefore we must find at least 1 more (preferably at least 2 more) Bible verses to prove when God's day starts.

As our next best witness, I propose Lot's daughter just after they escaped the destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah, as described in Genesis  19:30-38

Genesis 19:30-38 King James Version (KJV)

30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:

32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

37 And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.

38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

In Verse 33, the daughters encouraged their father to drink way too much wine during the night.  The eldest daughter then went in and laid with her father.  Since the Bible says "that night", it is obviously after sundown when this occurred.

In Verse 34, it's the next day (...on the morrow,...).  The elder daughter says, "Behold, I lay yesternight with my father...", which doubly confirms the eldest daughter laid with her father the night before, the previous day.

In Verse 35, the daughters encouraged their father to drink much wine again "...that night also;...", and the younger daughter went in and slept with her father also.

The following diagram is a timeline showing Genesis 19:30-38 while assuming God's day starts at sunrise.  Each full day is colour coded so as to help show the moment when one day ends and the next day begins.  For full size, click on the image.

Figure 1:  Chart of Timeline for Genesis 19:30-38 when assuming God's day starts at sunrise

As  can be seen in Figure 1, the biblical description matches with the timeline chart.  Therefore Genesis 19:30-38 supports the assumption of the sunrise being the breakpoint from one day to the next.

In Figure 2 below, we see a similar timeline chart, but this time, we assume the day changes at sunset.  In this case, the biblical description does not match the timeline, as the elder daughters says the next day in Verse 34 that she had slept with her father in the night of the previous day, however both these events occur in the same blue coloured day.  Therefore we must conclude that this assumption (that the day begins at sunset) is in error.  Click on Figure 2 to see it full size.

Figure 2:  Chart of Timeline for Genesis 19:30-38 while assuming God's day starts at sunset

We find that Figure 1 is accurate and Figure 2 contradicts itself.  The assumption used in Figure 2 is therefore found to be flawed.

I therefore conclude that God's Day begins at sunrise

The next post will be Part 3, the final post on this issue, further proof that God's day begins at sunrise.

I am interested in your comments and feedback.  Have I missed something?  Did I make an illogical jump to an unsupported conclusion?

How does this conclusion affect your life?

Do you support my conclusion?  If not, what biblical reference supports your opinion?

God's Day: When does it Start (Part 1 of 5)?

After 6,000 years under God, you'd think we could all agree exactly when God says the day starts.

The ancient Babylonians and medieval Europeans said the day began at sundown.  The ancient Romans and Chinese said it began at midnight.  The ancient Egyptian said the day began at first light (dawn, before sunrise).  Others said it began at sunrise.

What does God say?

There are many verses in the Holy Bible that describe the start of the day.  Unfortunately, most of these can be interpreted either way (sunrise or sunset) as being the start of the day.  Fortunately, there are a few verses which provide clarity.  Since a picture is worth 10,000 years, I have made a picture, one for each of the possible assumptions (sunrise or sunset).

Row 1 (ie. the top row) describes the assumption for this chart.
Row 2 gives a gray scale representation of light levels from black (night), gray (dawn and dusk), and white (full daylight).
Row 3 describes the part of the day (ie. sunrise, noon, sunset, midnight).
Row 4 gives the time of day (eg. 6:00 AM, 6:00 PM, etc.)
Row 5 gives the names for the day of the week (eg. Saturday, Sunday, etc.).  Note that Jewish Sabbath is Saturday, the 6th day of the week.
Row 6 gives the Bible verse under study, placed in the assumed square so that the text matches up with the time scale (first 5 rows).

Click on the Figure to get a full sized view.

Figure 1:  Diagram for Matthew 28:1, assuming day starts as Sundown

Looking at Figure 1, we can see we have a conflict.  The Bible text in Matthew 28:1 says:

Matt 28:1   In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

"In the end of the Sabbath" would tell us we are still inside the Sabbath day, but we are towards the end, getting ready to jump over to the next day (ie. almost at the first day of the week, Sunday).

For clarity, the Bible adds, "as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week".  This part tells us that we are at, or it will soon be within a few moments, be at the dawn of the 1st day of the week (Sunday).  This conflicts with the previous clause, or conflicts with our assumption (ie. when the day starts).

If the Bible had said, "In the end of the sabbath, as the sun began to set toward the first day of the week...", there would have been no conflict between our assumed timeline and the Bible text.  However, this is not what the Bible says.

Therefore we have discovered one of two possibilities:

A.  The first clause in Matthew 28:1 conflicts with the second clause in Matthew 28:1;

or

B.  Our assumption that God's day begins at sunset is in error.

To find out which of these two possibilities is true, lets look at the other possible assumption, as shown in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2:  Diagram for Matthew 28:1, assuming day starts at Sunrise

Figure 2 has the same layout as Figure 1 above, except the assumption has changed, and the most appropriate square for the Biblical text has changed.

In Figure 2, with the assumption of God's day starting at sunrise, we see there is no conflict with the Biblical text in Matthew 28:1.

I have come to learn that the Bible is the inspired writings from God.  God has ensured His Word has survived without corruption.  We have thousands of manuscripts, all or most that agree with each other except for obvious typos, and/or obvious corruptions, additions, or deletions which are easily spotted upon comparison of the various manuscrips, so as to disregard the imposters and obvious errors.

I have consulted the Blue Letter Bible Interlinear Greek for Matt 28:1 and the KJV English seems to match up with the original Greek manuscript shown there. I have also consulted my Greek-Hebrew-English Interlinear Bible textbook, and it agrees also that KJV English matches the original Greek.  Therefore I conclude that the English in the KJV Bible is correct, and respects the original Greek manuscript.

The KJV also agrees with all or most of the modern Bible versions available (eg. NKJV, NIV, CEB, ESV, etc.).

Mark 16:1-2 says:

And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

Here, we see similar timing to Matthew 28:1.  However, due to the wording, we could assume that Sabbath ended at sundown, then the Marys go buy spices, go back home to sleep, get up early before sunrise, and arrive at the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.  This makes it insufficient for our evidential requirements.  However, Mark 16:1-2 does not conflict with Matthew 28:1, but it does collaborate Matthew 28:1.

Luke 24:1 says:

"Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them."

Again, Luke 24:1 supports both Matthew 28:1 and Mark 16:1-2.  However, Luke 24:1 does not adequately describe exactly when the day changes.

John 20:1 says:

"The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre."

Again, John 20:1 supports Luke 24:1, Matthew 28:1, and Mark 16:1-2.  However, again John 20:1 lacks the specific details needed to define when one day ends and the next day begins.

Contrary Interpretation of Matthew 28:1

Some people may choose to say, "Yes, the plain English in Matthew 28:1 KJV certainly says that, but I can't believe that plain English meaning is what the author or God intended."  In that case, you should be prepared to provide a mountain of evidence that clearly instructs us to ignore the plain English meaning, so as to justify us to adopt some whimsical, far flung interpretation of Matthew 28:1.  If so, where is your mountain of data?

Failing a mountain of data to over-ride the plain English, we can recognize the accuracy of the KJV Bible, and avoid the conflict by choosing the assumption that the day begins as sunrise.

I therefore conclude that Matthew 28:1 instructs us that God's day begins at sunrise.

Three years ago, when I was awakened from my spiritual coma, I had assumed that the Jews knew what time it was, God's Word, the Bible, and all related topics.  I now come to the realization that the disruptions caused by Babylonians, Alexander the Great, Egypt, Rome, and Muslims was too much for the Hebrew nation, and they became corrupted in their timekeeping (and otherwise).  Fortunately, we have the Bible, Dead Sea Scrolls, and a few other sources to help us reconstruct God's message and God's Laws. 

Per the Bible and God's Law, we need 2 to 3 witnesses before we can render a just verdict.  We will see another witness on our next posting.  Stay tuned!

God said that Satan and Anti-Christ would change laws and time.  Do we need to hear more on how man became confused?
