Pope Benedict Dies Dec. 31, 2022, High Watch Declared till Jan. 6, 2023

Pope Benedict XVI, who on Feb. 28, 2013 resigned prematurely as Pope, has died today, Dec. 31, 2022.

My prayers and heart felt sympathies go to Pope Benedict's family and friends for their loss.

I am mostly ignorant of Pope Benedict's life history, and am therefore in no position to judge him in any way.  God will judge me, Pope Benedict, and everybody else.  It is not for me to judge Pope Benedict, nor anybody else.  

However, I am not so naïve as to assume that people climb through the hierarchy of any organization and reach the very top merely and exclusively on meritocracy, righteousness, and fair play.  I assume this is also true for the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Benedict, Pope Francis, all other Popes, Cardinals, Bishops, and others.

Pope Pius XI and Mussolini

The Vatican only became a "Nation State" in 1922 via a deal between Mussolini, the Fascist dictator of Italy, and Pope Pius XI.  It is interesting that both Pope Pius XI and Mussolini started their respective reigns in the same year, 1922.  For more info on this "marriage of convenience" between Mussolini and Pope Pius XI, I suggest:

• NPR did a 39 minute Podcast in 2015 you may wish to listen to: https://www.npr.org/2015/04/24/401967360/pope-and-mussolini-tells-the-secret-history-of-fascism-and-the-church  
  
  
• "The Pope and Mussolini: The Secret History of Pius XI and the Rise of Fascism in Europe", by David I. Kertzer, Random House, 2014   https://www.amazon.ca/Pope-Mussolini-Secret-History-Fascism/dp/081298367X 

Pope Francis, the 8th King-Pope of the Vatican State

From there, Pope Francis is the 8th "king" of the Vatican.

Upon the death of Pope Benedict XVI, this leaves Pope Francis fully in charge of the Vatican, and gives clarity to the Bible's Rev. 17:10-11.

[Rev 17:10–11 KJV] "10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth [Pope Francis ?], and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition."

It appears that Rev. 17:10 was written from the perspective of the 6th Pope, John Paul II (1978 - 2005).  The one that "is not yet come" was Pope Benedict XVI, and he only continued as Pope for a short space (ie. 9 years, then resigns prematurely).

If all the above is a correct interpretation of Rev. 17:10, this would indicate that Pope Francis is "the Beast" who was, and is not, and is the 8th "king" of the Vatican. 

It is unclear to me what is the full meaning of "...the beast that was, and is not, ...".  

My guess is that Pope Francis is Satan's evil equivalent of John The Baptist, who had the spirit of Elijah.  The Beast refers to a demonic spirit that previously lived on Earth as a Nephilim (ie. a hybrid offspring of an evil Fallen Angel, and a human woman), this Nephilim likely died on or about the Great Flood of Noah, so it became an "is not" as a disembodied spirit.  This evil spirit was then likely taken on by the human Jorge Mario Bergoglio, born 17 December 1936, who subsequently became Pope Francis on March 13, 2013, as the 8th "king" of the Vatican.

Rev. 17:10 also says that the 8th king goes into perdition.  Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus Christ on or about 32 AD, was also a "son of perdition".

Jesus speaking in John 17:12 KJV prayed to God The Father:  "While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Thy name: those that Thou gavest Me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled."

The phrase "son of perdition" means “man doomed to destruction”.

In Acts 1:23-26, we learn of Judas Iscariot' ultimate fate:

23 And they [The Apostles] appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.  24 And they prayed, and said, 'Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,  25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.'  26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Other Bible versions translate "to his own place" as "where he belongs", or "his special place".  It would likely be Hades, Hell, or the Lake of Fire.

If Pope Francis eventually becomes the False Prophet, Rev. 19:20 tells us the False Prophet is eventually thrown alive into the Lake of Fire:

Revelation 19:20, KJV: "And the beast [AntiChrist] was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."

Combining all of these Bible verses together in a logical manner, we have Pope Francis as the 8th "king" of the Vatican, who soon becomes the False Prophet and a Son of Perdition, and eventually gets thrown into the Lake of Fire.  The Lake of Fire is where the Sons of Perdition will have no rest, neither day nor night, but will suffer torment and burning for ever & ever.  There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

St. Malachy's Prophecy on the Popes

This old prophecy predicts that Pope Francis will be the last Pope.

New Prophecy

Julie, a Prophetess of God, has released a new prophecy today:

https://iamcallingyounow.blogspot.com/2022/12/watch-expectantly-and-see-what-i-will-do.html?m=1

This doubles down on the previous High Watch period Dec. 14-27, 2022 (see my previous post:   https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2022/12/gods-big-move-here-it-is.html ).

In addition, Dr. Robert Mawire, another Prophet of God, has outlined the events for 2023.   https://youtu.be/1PSH5V7eLl0

In addition, here is Erin's latest prophecy:   http://sparrowcloud9.com/heaven-dreams-interpretations/the-tribulation/excerpt-from-dreams-questions-answered/full-dreams/dream-657/

As all 3 prophets say, time is very short.

The new Israeli government has been formed, and will be official as of Jan. 3, 2023.

With the "3 Day Rule" (ie. prophetic dates occur at least 3 days before God takes action upon them), I will extend the High Watch period to 3 days past the start of the new Israeli government, so Jan. 6, 2023.

Therefore  I declare a super High Watch period from now, Dec. 31, 2022 till Jan.6, 2023.

Watch for Northern Lights, 3 Days of Darkness, Christian Revival, Overcomers of God (ie. Modern Day Apostles) preaching the Gospel, driving out demons, healing the sick, raising the dead, miracles, and saving souls by the millions.

Get ready, get prayed up, confess, repent, get Born Again.

If you're not sure how, here are detailed instructions to protect yourself & your family:

https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2019/12/gods-26-commandments-for-christians.html

May God Bless & help all the lost, the Atheists, the deceived, the luke-warm, the self-righteous, the hypocrites, and the foolish.

God's Big Move: Here it is!

My previous posting on a High Watch Dec. 17-27, 2022 still stands, and is triple reinforced by these 4 recent prophecies.  High Watch period, See:

 https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2022/12/hanukah-showtime-dec-17-27-2022.html

### Update #1 2022-12-27 ###

There are exactly 7,777 days between Dec. 27, 2022 and 9/11 (Sept. 11, 2001).  Isn't that interesting!

In Biblical numerology, 7 means perfection.  Therefore quad 7's is total perfection.  This is more proof that today is a red letter day of distinction.

### End Update #1 2022-12-27 ###

Did I Find a New Prophetess?

I would like to introduce Vicki Goforth Parnell.  I only recently discovered Vicki.  

I am still investigating her as a potential Prophetess of God, and am not yet sure of her true status at this time.  I would be interested in your guiding comments below on Vicki & her latest prophecy.

Vicki's latest prophecy is on the secret "corronation" of the AntiChrist, in preparation for his restraining force release by God, and his public presentation:

Vicki's Declaration of Faith.  How does this compare to your declared (or wishy-washy undeclared) statement of faith?

https://www.mylovelyjesusministry.com/post/my-declaration-of-faith

Vicki's Email.  I have written to her.  You might want to do so too.  We'll see what we get back.

Prophetess Julie, 2022-12-23

Different from Vicki's dream, but very similar.  I call it strongly in favor of Vicki's.  Since Vicki published previous to Julie, the known Prophetess status of Julie support Vicki as a potential Prophetess too.

https://iamcallingyounow.blogspot.com/2022/12/dream-king-is-coming-antichrist.html?m=1

Prophet Dr. Robert Mawire, 2022-12-12

https://youtu.be/If2D2_fruts

Dr. Mawire is still in generalities, but may tighten up his focus tomorrow.  Wait & see.

Prophetess Erin, 2022-12-22

http://sparrowcloud9.com/heaven-dreams-interpretations/the-tribulation/excerpt-from-dreams-questions-answered/full-dreams/dream-655/

Erin is one of Jesus' many Chefs (ie. Prophets), who have been setting out  enticing Hors-d'œuvre, appetizers, soup, and salads for many years, while awaiting the main course by Jesus.  Erin began with the end in mind, fully describing the beautiful deserts & rewards awaiting God's children in Heaven, for when they finally reach the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.

Erin was afraid to stuff everybody so full of appetizers, soup, & salad, that they would have no interest in the main course (Jesus), nor the deserts that await them in Heaven, or more interest in her as a celebrity Chef than in the Host and His banquet that is planned to honour our Lord & Saviour, and our Heavenly Groom, Jesus Christ.

Erin was equally  afraid that her "sous Chef" offerings were so small in quantity or quality that the spiritually starving would wander off to other feeding grounds, to Wolves in Sheep's Clothing, who would better "tickle their ears", if not their taste buds & spiritual stomachs with fake food that might taste good, but was empty of any spiritual nutrients (just like our grocery stores of today for physical food).

The wait is over, the main course soon arrives.  

Are you still here?  Are you paying attention? Are you praying, repenting, & confessing continuously?  Are your spiritual stomachs ready for a huge feast of real food, direct from Jesus Christ?

My previous posting on the High Watch period (Dec. 17-27, 2022) still stands as-is, and is tripley reinforced by these latest prophecies.

Get yourself ready.

Not Sure What To Do?

If you aren't sure what to do about all of the above, at least read the following:

https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2019/12/gods-26-commandments-for-christians.html

That is God's 26 Commandments for Christians, a document drafted by me to help me become a better Born Again Christian ASAP.

You are likely familiar with God's 10 Commandments.  

This document starts with those 10 commandments in the Bible's Book of Exodus 20:1-17.  

In addition, this document summarizes 276 Bible verses chosen to help luke-warm Christians, Atheists, and pagans to get "up to speed" as quickly as possible.

Read it till you understand it.  Implement it ASAP.

Are You A True Christian?

To summarize, all humans need a deep, loving relationship with Jesus Christ.  

This likely means everybody must go through all of the following steps:

Fear God; know God; believe in Jesus Christ as your God, Creator, Lord & Saviour; love God; understand sin through learning God’s commandments; confess & repent to God all your sins (both known & unknown); be humble & contrite; turn away from sin and turn towards God;  forgive all those who trespassed against you or hurt you; pray for God's forgiveness of your sins & His cleansing of you; let your old sinful self die off so that your new, obedient, righteous self can be Born Again as a child of God; get baptized; get all iniquity (ie. pre-planned, pre-meditated, or chronic sin) out of your life; obey all of God's commandments; flee from sin; pray that God hedges you in, keeping you away from sin and Satan’s fiery barbs; praise God; worship God; pray continuously; be joyous & thankful; live each day by reading His Word and being with the Fruit of the Holy Spirit (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, righteousness, godliness, & patience); live & die to your Lord & Saviour; share your testimony & preach the Gospel to every living creature; prepare yourself to serve God each day; be ready to be martyred in the name of Jesus Christ.

For those who Laugh, or Ignore the Above

Now that you have read this far, you will hopefully be one of the saved souls who avoid Hell.

In case you didn't know, those who don't have a deep, loving relationship with Jesus Christ (see above) are doomed to Hell.

Hell, also called the Lake of Fire, was primarily for Satan and his evil demons.  However, all those who do not have a deep loving relationship with Jesus Christ, or are "workers of iniquity", or commited the Unforgiveable Sin, or took the Mark of the Beast (666), or modified their DNA so they are no longer fully human, then all of these people are also doomed to the Lake of Fire.

Those thrown into the Lake of Fire will have no rest, neither day nor night, but will suffer burning and torment for ever & ever.  There will be gnashing of teeth (ie. Severe anger) and weeping forever.

For the Lost Souls, Hard to Reach

Note the links at the bottom of Julie's latest posting. 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8mjvwECgpwHOExjdm9kUjZ6b0U/view?resourcekey=0-8Yk_kLp2NXDCdC7VvCVI-Q

I will soon print off many copies of Jesus' Letter to the Lost & Hard To Reach.  I plan to ask people "Are you ready?"

They will naturally respond "Ready for what?

That's when I'll hand them a copy of Jesus' Letter to the Lost.

It may be their last opportunity to join the Overcomers, rather than be one of the foolish Virgins with insufficient oil.

Will you please do the same?

Comments from the Smugly Ignorant

I welcome your comments below, especially from Athiests, Muslims, pagans, and the luke-warm Christian who are smugly ignornant.

Hanukah ShowTime Dec. 17-27, 2022

It appears God's Great Move, and the winning of the lost to saved souls is likely beginning sometime around Dec. 17 to 27, 2022; as Erin's latest prophecy hints.

If you are a Born Again Christian, you are likely a luke-warm one, who has yet to fully purge iniquity from your life. 

I encourage you to confess and repent ALL your sins, iniquities, & blasphemies.  Pray for God to strengthen you, hedge you in from sin, and flee before your favorite iniquities return.

To help prepare yourself, family, & friends to be eligible for Heaven, resd and apply God's 26 Commandments for Christians.  This summarizes 276 verses in the Bible, arranged into 26 Commandments.

https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2019/12/gods-26-commandments-for-christians.html

[Ecclesiastes 12:13]

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."

[Jhn 14:21 KJV] "21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."

John 9:31 says, " Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth His will, him He heareth."

It is my understanding that iniquity is defined as pre-planned, pre-meditated, or chronic sin.

[2Ti 2:19 KJV] "[19] Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."

Hebrews 10:26-27
"For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,  but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries."

To me, this says that iniquity (chronic sin) goes beyond the salvation available through

Luke 13:22-28; and
Mat 7:21-23 clearly declare the consequences for "Workers of Iniquity"  Workers of iniquity are cast into the outer darkness, the Lake of Fire, into Hell..

John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments"

John 14:21   "21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him."

The logical corollary to John 14:15 & 14:21 is that those who fail to follow Jesus' commandments are hypocrites; they pretend to love Jesus, but fall short of true, deep love of Christ.  They pretend to love Jesus (or have a shallow, superficial love of Jesus), or love just enough for show, or virtue signaling, or political correctness, or to manipulate others, or to avoid personal shame, or out of ignorance as to what true love is, similar to the Pharisees with their "holier than thou" attitude.

In Luke 6:46, Jesus complained "And why call ye Me, 'Lord, Lord', and do not the things which I say?"

Again, pointing out their hypocrisy.

In Mat 13:41-42, at the 2nd Coming of Jesus, He sends His angels to gather up all those doing iniquity, casting them into a furnace of fire, to their wailing and knashing of teeth.

1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him.

Psalm 24:3-5   Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

1 John 3:8 ESV
"Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil."

Romans 6:14-19
14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means! 16 Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. 18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. 19 I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.

[Romans 8:1-10] "1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness."

[Isa 59:1-21 KJV] "[1] Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear: [2] But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear. [3] For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. [4] None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. [5] They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. [6] Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. [7] Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. [8] The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace. [9] Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. [10] We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men. [11] We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. [12] For our transgressions are multiplied before Thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; [13] In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. [14] And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. [15] Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no judgment. [16] And He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore His arm brought salvation unto Him [Jesus]; and His [God the Father] righteousness, it sustained Him [Jesus]. [17] For He [2nd Coming Jesus] put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon His head; and He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke. [18] According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay, fury to His adversaries, recompence to His enemies; to the islands He will repay recompence. [19] So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him [Satan]. [20] And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. [21] As for Me, this is My covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and My words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever."

 

I suggest that the Overcomer's hard work of harvesting lost souls for God will earn you a 1st Class ticket on the ride home to Heaven.  That is likely better than trying to hang on to the landing gear on a full flight as a last minute stowaway.  Your choice.

Dream 654: From Great Commission to the Great Harvest. Note that this prophecy likely refers to Overcomers working to harvest additional souls to salvation, rather than the cuŕrent Bride escaping the Tribulation by Pre-Trib. Rapture. After this winning of souls, the restraint on Satan is removed, Tribulation (ie. persecution by Satan) begins, THEN Mat 24:29-31

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Nobody is going anywhere until a Post-Trib., Pre-Wrath Rapture, occurring shortly after the Anti-Christ tries to sit on God's Throne in Jerusalem's Third Temple (yet to be built), which triggers the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ to reclaim His throne through the Battle of Armageddon.

That is when the Jewish remnant flee to the desert for the 2nd time (with angelic assistance this 2nd time, "on the wings of eagles"), and the Bride is Raptured to Heaven for the wedding feast of the Lamb.

Lunar Eclipses on Purim

In 2008, Pastor Biltz discovered a link between a Four Blood Moon Tetrad that coincided with the Biblical Festivals of Passover and Tabernacles which was a sign in the Heavens associated with critical events for the Jewish nation.

Many Christians already know about Blood Moons on Biblical Convocation Dates (eg. Passover, Tabernacles, in two successive years). 

Now, get ready to add to your Blood Moon Tetrad knowledge.  

Lunar eclipses on Purim, as defined in the Book of Esther are a recently discovered integral part of the Blood Moon Tetrad sign.  

Based on this new knowledge, get ready for what soon comes on or about Mar. 23, 2023, the rise of the Anti-Christ.

This is a video by two other Watchmen, who describe this new understanding:

https://youtu.be/zVtYnINQfqI

The Moon's orbit has an 18 year cycle for eclipses, when the Moon, Earth, and Sun are in varying alignments for partial to total eclipses.  This is called the Saros Cycle.  See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saros_(astronomy)

What is this Purim linkage to lunar eclipses?

In 483 BC, Haman was an evil Prince in  Persia that wanted to do genocidal ethnic cleansing to all Jews in Persia, as described in the Book of Esther.  Purim is celebrated each year by Jews for the collapse of Haman's evil plans.  When a Blood Moon Tetrad on Passover-Tabernacles in Saros Cycles 122, 127, 132, and 137 are then followed by lunar eclipses falling on Purim in Saros Cycles 121, 126, 131, and 136 then this is a signal from God that one or more major event for Jews is about to occur.

This new understanding of the Purim-Lunar Eclipse adds to the partial prior understanding by Pastor Biltz.

The same 4 Blood Moon Tetrad, followed by the same Saros Cycle-Purim conjunction was in play for:

• 1914 World War 1, and the 1917 Balfour Declaration for the creation of a Jewish nation around  Jerusalem; and
• 1932 rise of Hitler in Germany and the beginning of the Holocaust
• 1948-1950 beginning of the modern Jewish state of Israel.
• 1967 capturing of Jerusalem by Israel; 

The Blood Moon Tetrad of 2021-2022 starts another Blood Moon Tetrad-Saros-Purim cycle, ending in 2032.

If we now fully understand God's signals in the Heavens, then the rise of the Anti-Christ is scheduled on or about March 25, 2023.  

I previously posted (See:   https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2022/11/high-watch-dec-14-16-2022.html ) that Genesis 8:6-9 described Noah releasing the raven (ie. Satan) from the Ark.  Using the Enoch calendar, the raven release had a corresponding anniversary on the 10th day of the 11th Month, or  Jan. 27, 2023 on the Gregorian calendar.  Using the Chabad Jewish calendar, this corresponds to 10 Shevat, or Feb. 1, 2023.

Depending on what calendar you use, and what event you use (ie. Noah & raven, or Tetrad-Purim-lunar eclipses), the rise of the Anti-Christ will likely be some time between Jan. 27, 2023 and March 25, 2023. 

While Hitler just grabbed power by quasi-legal means in 1932, I suspect another World War (or Psalm 83 War for Israel) will be necessary to unite the entire world into adopting a new leader (ie. AntiChrist) for a One World Government.  

This war will likely soon occur, sometime between Dec. 14, 2022 to March 2023, it will likely include limited use of nuclear weapons, with direct & indirect deaths of a million to 2 Billion people.

The shock from this war will be so great as to cause many people to readily accept (or beg) for the rise of a strong leader to "save" them from the out of control world events of war, crime, food shortages, famine, disease, & death.

This additional puzzle piece adds to the likelihood of the High Watch Period of Dec. 14-21, 2022 declared in the previous posting.

God's Great Move (perhaps 3 Days of Darkness, followed by a 40 day window to repent through the help of sealed & annointed Overcomers, then KA-BOOM ?) will likely preceed this war and the rise of the AntiChrist.  This may be God's excellent plan, so as to give everybody one last, clear choice:  choose God or Satan.

Those who refuse to choose, or choose Satan may be marked for immediate destruction in the nuclear war, famine, &/or disease that immediately follows God's Great Move.

Choose wisely.  Choose quickly.  To help you choose, read God's 26 Commandments for Christians:

High Watch Dec. 14-21, 2022

I declare another High Watch period for Dec. 14-21, 2022.  This is based on the following:

### Update #1   2022-12-4 11:43 am   ###

Two new prophecies have been published, which further support this High Watch period.

 Julie:   https://iamcallingyounow.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-meaning-of-it-all.html?m=1

Erin:

http://sparrowcloud9.com/heaven-dreams-interpretations/the-tribulation/excerptfrom-dreams-questions-answered/full-dreams/dream-652/

###  End Update #1   ###

Jesus said we wouldn't receive a sign for End Times except for the sign of Noah and Jonah (see:  Mat 12:39; Mat 16:4; Luk 11:29).

Jonah spent 3 days & nights in the belly of the great fish, then was puked out on shore, and then did 40 days as a  prophect to Ninevah "Repent or be destroyed". Everybody repented & were saved.

In Noah's case:

Gen 8:5, on the 10th month 1st day of the month, the top of mountains were seen by Noah, According to the Official Enoch calendar (see: https://www.enochcalendar.com/enoch-calendar-pdf ), that anniversary equates to Dec. 19, 2022.

In Gen 8:6-9, 40 days later, Noah  released the raven, who flew to & fro.  Noah also released the dove, who returned to Noah as the land had not yet dried.  This was the 10th day of 11th month.  Again, by the  Official Enoch Calendar, that equates to an anniversary date of Jan. 27, 2023.

I suggest that Noah's raven in Gen 8:6-9 represents Satan. The raven was constrained by Noah, then released. In this age, the equivalent is the rise of the AntiChrist when the restraining force is removed, as in 2 Thessalonians 2:6.  Therefore, I suspect the rise of the AntiChrist on or about Jan 27, 2023.

Forty days before the raven's release, Noah spotted the tops of mountains, which anniversary will occur on Dec. 19, 2022.  I suggest this 40 day period is for God's Overcomers, those sealed and annointed true Christians, who go forth creating God's great revival by preaching the Gospel, healing the sick, casting out demons, saving souls, etc.

The Overcomers are sealed & annointed by God, this likely occurring during God's Big Move (see previous Posting), likely 3 Days of Darkness on Earth when our sun doesn't shine, thick clouds block the starlight, and everybody who doesn't have faith in God is scared to death.  

When the Sun gets turned back on, everybody will be ready for the Son.

Suspicious Observers (see their website & YouTube channel), has been researching Earth's magnetic field, Earth's magnetic pole geographic location rapid movement, the galactic current sheet, cosmic dust increase, the dramatic weather changes on all planets in our Solar System, Mercury to Pluto (could it all be caused by CO2 from humans on Earth ?; I doubt it), cosmic ray penetration on Earth, our Sun's recend varying Helium burn rates, and sunspot anomolies to suggest a micro-nova disturbance in our Sun is soon expected (next 50 years ??); where the sun goes dark for X days, then re-ignites its fusion light output. See:    https://youtu.be/8e-LqmwduaA

During this 3 days of darkness on Earth, the Overcomers will likely receive extensive training in Heaven to prepare them supernaturally for their duties of leading the Revival.

Taking 3 days from before the Dec. 19th gives us Dec. 16, 2022. God's day begins at sunrise (see Mat 28:1), so the Go Date for God's Overcomers is possibly before sunrise in Jerusalem on 6:32 am local time on Dec. 16, 2022. With 7 hrs time difference from Jerusalem time to EST, that is 11:32 pm EST on Dec. 15, 2022.

Alternative theories (eg. Ministry Revealed) suggest Dec. 14th, so I'll include their date in this High Watch period.

I understand Overcomers will be selected by God from His obedient children of God (ie. those who have removed all iniquity from their lives; meaning pre-meditated, pre-planned, or chronic sin),  who are Born Again Christians who have an intimate relationship with God, and have prayerfully volunteered themselves for this job as God's Overcomers (see: Rom 12:21; 1Jo 2:13–14; 1Jo 4:4; 1Jo 5:4–5; Rev 2:7, 11, 17, 26; Rev 3:5, 12, 21; Rev 17:14; Rev 21:7).

[Luk 10:1–12 KJV] "1  After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither He himself would come. 2 Therefore said He unto them, 'The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth labourers into His harvest. 3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. 4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. 5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. 6 And if the Son of Peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. 7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. 8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: 9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, 11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city."

Psalm 83 War against Israel, &/or WW3 (including limited nuclear war, and the direct & indirect death of 2 Billion people) is highly likely sometime after Dec. 15th 2022 and before Jan. 27, 2023.

USA, EU, NATO, etc. are now declaring Russia as a terrorist state, and Putin is alleged to be guilty of War Crimes:

https://www.dw.com/en/eu-lawmakers-name-russia-a-state-sponsor-of-terror/a-63818422

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/documentary/putins-attack-on-ukraine-documenting-war-crimes/

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20221118IPR55707/european-parliament-declares-russia-to-be-a-state-sponsor-of-terrorism

None of this encourages Putin to stop, but does encourage nuclear war.

If the Enoch Calendar is wrong or not applicable, then using the Chabad Jewish calendar, the beginning of the 3 Days of Darkness would be Dec. 21, 2022.

Therefore, the most comprehensive High Watch period is Dec. 14-21, 2022.

Trust, Hope, & Believe in this Life, Rather than the Next?

The other day, a friend said he wasn't interested in any of the above because he has a young family, and has to hope for a future for them, and focus his energies there.

I told him that as good as his hopes & dreams may be on planet Earth, the outlook for eternal life in Heaven is infinitely better.  It will soon be time for us to go home to be with our God in Heaven.

I thought back to a similar time in my life.  I have always had difficulties shifting from one activity to the next.  I get so deeply focused in what I'm currently, doing, I resisted everything that interrupted me.

My parents told me that I was a cantankerous 2-yr old who wanted to stay up forever, and never wanted to go to bed (still the same today, 65 yrs. later).  My son (now 38 yrs. old) was exactly the same.

God our Father in Heaven is telling His children it's soon time to go to Heaven.

Will we disobey, deny, kick, & scream like a 2 yr. old, so as to resist & defy God, wanting to stay in this fallen, evil, punishing, brutal world because we are used to it and familiar with it, loving our sins more than our Father in Heaven?

By numerous signs and prophecies, we are soon at the time to exit Earth, and go to our final resting place.

If you're not sure, or doubt, then pray to God for wisdom & understanding.  Read the following (& this Blog) before you make your final decision.

God's 26 Commandments for Christians

https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2019/12/gods-26-commandments-for-christians.html

Nov. 6-14, 2022 High Watch, God's Big Move

*** Update #2:  on 2022-11-24 ***

Nothing occurred that was noticible except the crescendo of evil & evens continue to rise.

The time is soon, but this wasn't it.

Continue to occupy till He comes, pray, confess your sins, repent, read your Bible every day, share your testimony, preach the Gospel.

Rejoice for we are soon going home to be with our God in Heaven.

*** End Update #2 ***

*** Update #1:  2022-11-12 ***

Nothing easily recognizable has occurred during Nov. 6-11, 2022 (original High Watch period).

However, I mis-calculated the dates for the anniversary of Noah's flood.  Please forgive me.

Based on my error, and new information received in the interim, I am extending the High Watch period from Nov. 11th to Nov. 14th, 2022.

New info:  Erin's latest prophecy.

http://sparrowcloud9.com/heaven-dreams-interpretations/the-tribulation/excerpt-from-dreams-questions-answered/full-dreams/dream-644/

Erin again foreshadows day(s) of darkness very soon.

The following Watchman correctly calculated the Noah's Ark anniversary, and done extensive analysis of the High Watch date of Nov. 13, 2022.  I do not support his assumption of Rapture.  Instead, I think 3 Days of Darkness are more likely, during which true, obedient Christians will receive an annointing and sealing from God and become Overcomers, and everybody else is scared out of their minds.  Immediately after the sun returns, the newly minted Overcomers start working on the harvesting of souls through their leading a huge revival, including millions seeking repentance, healing, driving out demons, and preaching the Gospel.  I extended the watch period an extra day to allow for N. American time zones, & Gregorian calendar time; so ending the High Watch on Nov. 14, 2022.

Watch, pray, confess, look up!

https://youtu.be/NSkiiDy0aac

*** End Update #1 ***

I am issuing a High Watch period for Nov. 6 to 11, 2022 inclusive, for God's Big Move.

It is unclear exactly what God's Big Move is defined as, but we are given a clue by:

Habakkuk 1:5 KJV "Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you."

and

Acts 13:41 KJV "Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you."

God is angry every day at sinners  (Psalm 7:11), and His children suffer in this fallen, sinful world.

Erin's prophecies say we are in the season:  http://sparrowcloud9.com/heaven-dreams-interpretations/the-tribulation/excerpt-from-dreams-questions-answered/full-dreams/dream-644/

Julie's prophecies warn similarily:   https://iamcallingyounow.blogspot.com/2022/09/the-kings-cup-trumpet-sounding-and.html?m=1

Dr. Robert Mawire's prophecies prepare his flock for 2 Billion deaths in WW3, then the rise of the AntiChrist:   https://youtu.be/xYY3LRmzjDM

There is a Blood Moon coming on Nov. 8, 2022 (see:  https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2022/november/another-blood-moon-is-coming-and-it-falls-right-on-the-night-of-the-midterm-election ).

This may be an omen warning of the Mid-term elections in the USA, on that same day, or a 3 day warning for Nov. 11th (see below).

God is pure, light, and symbolized by pure, clean white.  Satan is pure evil that seeks to lie, steal, kill, and destroy.

All humans (other than Jesus Christ) have sinned, and learned to eke out an existance in this sinful world.  Some have been born into an easy life, while other had to fight for everything they have.  Some have sinned greatly to take advantage of circumstances, loopholes, or people; so as to take more than their fair share.  Others, you can trust to usually do the right thing, to be trustworthy.

All that is soon coming to an end.

Most of us live in the grey zone.  Some of us are able to narcissistically virtue signal that they are better than those who are pure evil, that live in the black as Agents of Satan.

Very soon, God will shrink the grey zone to nothing, and everybody therein will be forced to jump one way or the other:  God or Satan.

On one calendar, Nov. 11 is 40 days before the winter solstice on Dec 21, and is also the aniversary for the start of Noah's Great Flood.  This is my current best guess as to the start of God's Big Move.  

Will God's "shock & awe" campaign get the attention of the most arrogant, jaded billionaire with a $50 million underground bunker standing by for his exclusive use?

This may be a Psalm 83 War attack on Israel, with God rescuing a remnant  from sure destruction.

It may be WW3 overflowing from Ukraine, with nuke and other WMD's flying here & there in spite.  

It may be a CME that destroys most electrical grids and electronic devices, a weakening magnetic field on Earth, a catastrophic magnetic pole shift on Earth, an  unstable energy output by our Sun, or a rogue meteor hitting Earth (see: Suspicious Observer   https://youtu.be/DBaL0uHY84c )

Who knows, it might be God writing on the next Full Moon "Jesus Saves" in letters 400 km high.

The Bible predicts 1/4 of the world's population will die around the rise of the AntiChrist, so that's 2 Billion people.

Psslm 91 and elsewhere says that God will protect His children.  

If you're not a child of God, then you are a child of Satan.  Satan will use you, then throw you away like a dirty Kleenex.  Satan won't protect you.

Get right with God ASAP.  Read God's 26 Commandments for Christians (a summary of 276 Bible verses, arranged as 26 Commandments of God, as basic  instructions for His children of God), then implement.

https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2019/12/gods-26-commandments-for-christians.html

After implementing God's 26 Commandments, you need to read your Bible every day, to better & better fear God, know God, believe in Jesus Christ and His loving salvation of all humans who believe in Jesus & His crucifixion on the cross and His resurection to Heaven.  Love God, obey God, forgive all others, confess & repent to God for your prior life of sins, pray to God that He will forgive your sins, worship God, be thankful to God for all His blessings. Choose to let your old sinful self (ie. your life as a child of Satan) to spiritually die so that a new righteous you can be spiritually born as a Born Again child of God who is immersion baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Pick up your cross, & follow Jesus' plan for your life, by sharing your testimony with all others, and preach God's Good News Gospel to every creature in the world.

The soon harvest of souls will be great in quantity, but the workers are few, so pray for more workers to hear God's call.

Day Of Atonement

We're getting ready for Day of Atonement, which begins at sundown today Sept. 28, 2022 according to the Official Enoch Calendar (thanks Nick VanderLaan).

The convocation with God runs till sundown tomorrow.

The Bible says "fast".  We were unsure if that meant total Esther-type (ie. no food, no drinks, no water), or just no solid food.  We decided to do a total Esther fast.

This is the day we afflict our souls, confess & repent.  

We have built an alter out of natural stones ftom our beach.  On this sacred fire, we will do burnt offerings of bull, sheep, goat, & flour.

Beef, lamb, goat, & flour for Day of Atonement burnt offerings to God.

I suggest that we as Gentiles, now Christians are the wild olive branches that have been spliced onto God's vine.  Therefore that which used to apply only to the Jews on the OT, now also applies to Christians in the NT.

Pray, repent, atone for your sins, have awe for God each day from Sept. 18, 2022 (according to Official Enoch Calendar by Nick Vanderlaan, intercalenry day between seasons, Sept. 19 is 1st day of 7th month) till Sept. 28, 2022 at sundown (beginning of Yom Kippur).

Yom  Kippur  atonement fast begins at sundown on Sept. 28, 2022 (10th day of 7th month) and ends at sundown on Sept. 29, 2022 (11th day of 7th month).  Fast (no food, no water ?), and no work (Sabbath).

[Lev 23:27-32 KJV] "[27] Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. [28] And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. [29] For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. [30] And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. [31] Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. [32] It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath."

[Num 29:7-11 KJV] "[7] And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein: [8] But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD for a sweet savour; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish: [9] And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram, [10] A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs: [11] One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and their drink offerings."

The 2nd Temple, destroyed in 70 ad, was national, for all the Jews,  for the Levite priests to sacrifice for all (eg. Num 29:7-11 with bullock, lamb, goat, & flour).  

We individually have none of that today.  However while the High Priest was doing his thing for all the Jewish nation, each family & individual was responsible for doing their own individual confessions, atonements,  prayers,  thanks, & worship of God & His awesomeness for Yom Kippur.

We will need to support the Jew's soon rebuilding of 3rd Temple/Tabernacle, slaughtering & sacrificing, etc. so they can eventually discover  that this no longer works without their acceptance of Jesus Christ as their Messiah.  The old ways lead them to the new.  Secondly, the AntiChrist needs to endorse those sacrifices, then use them to claim to be God and stop them again about 2 yrs from now, enabling the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ.

Before any temple was built, Abraham & others built a simple alter out of natural stones and offered burnt sacrifice.  Burnt sacrifices will continue using Ezekiel's temple during the Millenial Kingdom after the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ.

We have beef we slaughtered last year (steer ---> bullock), NZ spring lamb we bought, and goat, and COW (clean Ontario wheat) we can grind to flour ourselves.  We are unsure if any of that passes God's quality standards. We have natural rocks to build a "holy" fire pit, and a steel grate on which to place the pieces of each of 4 offerings over the fire till fully consumed.

Therefore we will pray to God,  suggesting  our plan to do the best we can under the circumstances, subject to God's veto before we start to implement after sundown (7:14 pm)  on Wednesday Sept. 28, 2022 (Yom Kippur). 

Can we be Friends?

I actively and passionately seek friendship and fellowship with my brothers & sisters in Christ who share the following ideals of friendship.

I am a Born Again Christian, who fears God, loves God, and wants to be fully obedient to God and the Holy Bible.  I seek to live without hypocrisy, living according to God's truth, facts, priorities, urgencies, values, goals, plans, & morals.  

Therefore I love all humans in the same manner as I love myself.  

We are all sinners in this fallen, evil world.  Some sin more than others, or sin differently.  i believe that those who truly love their friends, neighbour, & acquaintences will warn them of dangers (both in this life, and the next), help them, & edify them.

If you are not currently a Born Again, obedient Christian who lives a righteous life without hypocrisy, then I still invite you to be my friend.  However, be aware that I have a duty to preach the Gospel to you, and warn you of the costs and dangers of the path you currently walk; all this done with love, compassion, & friendship.

Christians have a duty to lovingly rebuke their friends & fellow Christians for their obvious sins, transgressions, or unfriendly behaviour.  

Good friends willingly learn from their mistakes, re-examine their questionable behaviour(s), & if necessary, seek additional info from their friends or others.  If they have truly acted in a unfriendly or sinful manner, they will:   1) contritely confess, repent, and seek forgiveness from God;  2)  apologize to their friend(s) that they wronged;  3) offer restitution if warranted;  and 4) ask for their friend's forgiveness.

Good friends quickly & graciously accept heartfelt confessions, repentance, &  apologies; and forgive their friend(s).  Good friends hold neither anger, nor bitterness, nor hard feelings, nor malevolence, nor passive-aggressive feelings, nor vengence against their repentant friend(s); instead, they forgive, move on, and don't look back.

Both Christians and good friends flee from sin, temptation, and evil persons who harm others (purposefully or inadvertently).

Both Christians & good friends practice the Fruits of the Holy Spirit on a daily basis:  love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance,  righteousness, godliness, and patience.

Both I, and those whom I seek to call my friends choose to mutually treat themselves and all others with dignity, respect, trustworthiness, and the full truth in all conversations.  

Trustworthiness is defined by, created by, protected by,  nurtured by, or destroyed by 4 factors:   1) Benevolent best interest in the other party;  2) Open & honest communication;  3) Competency; and 4) Predictable behaviour.  These I seek to practice so that I am a trustworthy person.  I expect similarly from my friends.

If someone is not willing (or not able) to share the whole truth, then they should keep quiet, or alert the other(s) that they are only sharing the truth on one segment, but not all segments.

Friends support, help, encourage, and celebrate the other friend's activities and victories; and commiserate their troubles.

Friends may (or more often, may not) agree on all opinions, alleged facts, factors to be considered, actions, inactions, tastes, styles, priorities, urgencies, values, and goals.  Provided these occur within the previously stated limits, good friends will welcome, accept, cheerfully tolerate, &/or celebrate these diversities among friends.

I choose to be bound by all the above for my friends, my fellow Christians, and all others; yes, even those who choose to be sinful, &/or my enemy.

If all this sounds like the type of friendship you would like to have with me, and you voluntarily agree to be bound by all the above, then I welcome you as my friend, & look forward to the mutual benefits of our friendship from now on.

Atonement, then Yom Kippur

 Prophecy  http://sparrowcloud9.com/heaven-dreams-interpretations/the-tribulation/excerpt-from-dreams-questions-answered/full-dreams/dream-633/

We are definitely in the season. 

God is about to make His "Big Move". 

Pray, repent, atone for your sins, have awe for God each day from Sept. 18, 2022 (according to Official Enoch Calendar by Nick Vanderlaan, intercalenry day between seasons, and Sept. 19 is 1st day of 7th month) till Sept. 28, 2022 at sundown (beginning of Yom Kippur).

The Yom  Kippur atonement fast begins at sundown on Sept. 28, 2022 (10th day of 7th month) and ends at sundown on Sept. 29, 2022 (11th day of 7th month).  Fast (no food, no water ?), and no work (Sabbath).

[Lev 23:27-32 KJV] "[27] Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. [28] And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. [29] For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. [30] And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. [31] Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. [32] It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath."

[Num 29:7-11 KJV] "[7] And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein: [8] But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD for a sweet savour; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish: [9] And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram, [10] A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs: [11] One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and their drink offerings."

Start of God's Day, Part 5

This is Part 5 of the answers on when does God's day start (sunrise or sunset)?  

See:   Part 1,  Part 2,  Part 3,  Part 4

So far, I have offered 12 witnesses from Bible verses.  Today, I offer the 13th witness, Genesis 1:1 - 2:3.

13th Witness

Below are the verses of Genesis 1:1 - 2:3 where God describes His first 7 days of creation.

There is some dispute as to when God's day begins.  To help analyze this issue and discover God's hidden truth, I suggest there are 4 to 5 possible moments in time when God's day ends, and the next day of God will begin.

After the sun sets, it gets dark quickly.  The moment when the night is darkest is at some moment after sunset, but before sunrise.  That darkest moment depends on the phase of the moon (ie. New moon, waxing, full moon, waning), and the time of moonrise and moonset, and varies for each day of the year.

Wild animals naturally detect the change from evening to morning.  Their activity tends to follow these light levels.  Animals that are active during daylight hours tend to start greater activity in the morning, have maximum activity during the day, and start settling down before sunset, then have a period of minimum activity during the evening, including sleep.  After evening has passed, the cycle begins again with morning for the next day.

In Genesis, God uses the terms day, night, evening, and morning.

We believe the Bible defines itself.  Therefore if we properly read the Bible, each of these terms should be self-evident how they are defined.

In this manner, I have concluded, and suggest you consider, the following definitions:

Evening: the period of time from after the sun is fully set until the moment of darkest night.

Morning:  the period of time from the moment of darkest night until the sun starts to rise.

Sunrise:  the moment of time when the first direct rays of sun can be seen by an observer on the surface of the Earth with an unobstructed view of the horizon where the sun will rise.

Sunset:   the moment of time when the last direct rays of sun can be seen by an observer on the surface of the Earth with an unobstructed view of the horizon where the sun is setting.

Daylight Hours:  the elapsed time that begins at sunrise, and continues to sunset; defined by God as "Day" in Genesis 1:5.  See also the definition of "Day"

Night Hours:  the elapsed time that begins after sunset, which includes evening and morning, and ends just before sunrise.  See also the definition "Night"

Day:  

Def'n #1:   an elapsed period of time that includes both Daylight Hours and Night Hours (ie. sunset, evening, morning, and sunrise); that is 24 clock hours in duration, more or less.  

Def'n #2:   Day is also defined by God in Genesis 1:5 as the period of time which has the light.

Night:  defined by God in Genesis 1:5 as the duration of time without the light.  See also the definition of "Night Hours".

Based on these definitions, when does God's day begin?  

I suggest that God's day likely begins at:

A:   sunrise, or

B:   midnight (Gregorian-Roman time standard), or

C:  sunset (current Jewish and Muslim tradition).

I think it is obvious that God wouldn't choose the same as Pope Gregory XIII of the Roman Catholic Church in 1582 ( ie. Choice "B: midnight"), as God had made His choice well before that, and God never changes, and Pope Gregory obviously wasn't interested in what the Holy Bible said, as he was more interested in pontificating (eg. Year starts in January, rather than the biblical Spring start after Spring Equinox; October means 8 th month in Latin language, but it is now 10th month; similar for Nov. & Dec.; days of the week are named after idols or witchcraft, etc.).    

We are therefore left with two remaining possibilities:  sunrise or sunset.

I have placed 4 or 5 options (ie. Logical cases; C01, C02, C03, C04, or C05) as to the exact possible moment of God's day ending (and the simultaneous beginning of the next day) at the key places in the Genesis text.

Your task is to choose the exact moment in the Genesis text, when one day ends, and the next day begins.

If the above definitions (ie. evening, morning, sunrise, sunset, dalight, night) conflict with your choices, you can supply your alternative definitions and your corresponding choice of when you think God divides between two days.

Conclusion & Request

I seek the truth; God's truth.

I suggest, and have chosen for myself and my family that "C04" is the only correct possibility for the start of God's day.

God says 2 or 3 witnesses are sufficient to prove a matter.  I have provided 13 proofs due to the epidemic of stiff necks suffered by the vast majority.

While this issue is extremely important to God, most people couldn't care less, preferring to follow non-Biblical traditions, &/or the majority.

That's likely why God allows the straight, wide path to Hell to exist, and focuses on the small Remnant that is willing to think, fear God, love God, follow God, and eagerly obey His commandments.

In John 14:15, Jesus ssid "if you love me, keep My commandments."

Are you fully aware of the consequences for not loving Jesus Christ?

However, if I am wrong, I need to discover my error, and continue to search for God's truth on this issue.

Based on the above, if you have alternate decisions and beliefs and definitions, please provide your alternative suggestions to us in the comments below, complete with detailed logic and objective evidence (ie. Bible verses) so I can readily understand your suggestion.

###   Update #1   2024-4-22   ###

I found another Biblical proof (total 14 now) that God's day begins at sunrise, hidden in the Greek "epiphosko", Strong's G2020, in the Book of Luke.
