"RAPTURE FEAST – PENTECOST 2008"*
GOD’S CRYPTOGRAM – PROGRESSIVELY REVEALED

* Jewish Year 5768

Pentecost is definitely the rapture feast. It is a feast of a double-nature (opened the church age and will close it.) It is the wheat harvest feast and God has not taken the harvest yet, which is the wise virgins of the church age. I see so much confusion over this subject and there should not be. One only need know some of the laws surrounding each feast.

Those laws are prophesying what will happen to fulfill each particular feast day. 1. All the feasts, Sabbaths and new moons had trumpets or the shofar blown. 2. The Jews did not fulfill any of them. Jesus and the Holy Ghost were the ones who did the fulfilling. Jesus was crucified on Passover, went down and preached to those in paradise on Unleavened Bread, and arose on First Fruits (Barley Harvest feast), after him those many saints he preached to arose also, see 1 Pet. 3:18-23 and Matt. 27:52-53. 3. The count on Pentecost is explained below. Comparisons of multiple scriptures prove it. The Bible proves itself. The answer has been in the Word the whole time. 4. Pentecost is the wheat harvest feast.

We who are counted as wise virgins of the church age will be harvested on this feast whether we are dead or alive. Num. 10:1-13 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. The silver trumpets symbolize the spiritual and is for calling the church (elders/wise virgins) up to him in the sky to take us to that heavenly tabernacle where we will be in a place of safety BEFORE the ten years of tribulation. Every move God had the priests doing on these feast days were prophecies, foretelling the fulfillment. So we need to look at what those priests were doing on Pentecost. In the first watch (evening) they cleansed the great altar where the offerings would be examined. Jesus is our High Priest and we are his offerings. This is where we will know if what we have done will be hay, stubble, gold or silver. Our rewards will depend on this. At midnight the temple doors are thrown open to receive the congregation in that heavenly tabernacle. The two loaves represent the church under the law and the church under grace.

There is a surprise awaiting many Christians. Much of the church is living a carnal life and thinks anything is acceptable because we are a Christian, we know Jesus. Sin is not preached much anymore, nor is repentance. The unwise of Matthew 25 are all virgins looking for a bridegroom and many needed to repent (clean their robes) but some waited too late to do that and did not go at the appointed time. They are unwise believers, carnal Christians.

Matt. 25: 6-10 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps, And the foolish said unto the wise, give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. The Midnight Cry went forth with Pastor Riley’s message about PENTECOST 2008 – if you haven’t read this report, just go to the Five Doves site on the Internet, and search using his name. He’s been a Pastor for 55 years and is a true Bible scholar. The study is quite awesome.

The Lord often compartmentalizes knowledge among believers – each has a piece of the puzzle. Here’s the rest of the puzzle from Brother Arnold Bowen – you must check out his website! And look at the part where he traces Paul’s missionary journey in Acts and proves that Pentecost is a count of seven Sabbaths and then numbering 50 days.

"COUNT TO PENTECOST"
From Brother Bowen

One of the key scriptures to finding the day that we observe for Pentecost
has been misinterpreted by most religious groups and it is
found in Lev. 23:16 where it says, "even unto the tomorrow, after the seventh
Sabbath shall you number fifty days." It does not say that after the seventh
Sabbath is the fiftieth day, but shall ye number 50 days.

Because of traditions of men, they begin to number the fifty days from the
first Sabbath or wave sheaf, instead of the morrow after the seventh Sabbath.
You do count seven Sabbaths complete (Lev. 23:16) and you begin to count the
weeks from the time you put the cycle to the corn. (Deut. 16:9) but you "number"
for the 50th day from the morrow after the 7th Sabbath complete. Therefore,
there were two counts to find Pentecost.

This is why it is called both the Feast of Weeks (forty-nine days) and the
Feast of Pentecost (Pentecost means fifty, and weeks means sevens). The Feast of
Weeks would be only forty-nine days and not fifty, so the Feast of Weeks is
not fifty days but 49, but at the end of 50 days from the morrow AFTER the 7th
weekly Sabbath is the 50th day. The 1st count is forty-nine days. Pentecost
means fifty. This proves there are two counts.

The True Count to Pentecost Rediscovered:http://www.lunarsabbath.info/


The Sabbaths are in Red, the New Moon days are in Blue. As odd as it sounds, the New Moon days are never included in the seven day week. The New Moon, though never called a Sabbath by name, was a segment of time celebrated as a Sabbath. They blew horns (Numbers 10:2-3,10; Psalm 81:3) there was no commerce (Exodus 20:8-11, Amos 8:5) and it was a day for a holy convocation (Leviticus 23:3, Ezekiel 46:1,3).

29 is a Bible number that signifies Departure. 29 Tammuz 5768 = August 1, 2008.

2008 has to be the year. The 10-year Tribulation must end by 2018 (70 years, one generation, from 1948) and the Rapture of the New Testament Church precedes it. We are in the 41st year after the Fig Tree generation Jesus spoke of (beginning with the June 7, 1967 Six-Day War when Jerusalem was recaptured). The meaning of the end of the fortieth year throughout the Bible doesn’t need further explanation for mature Christians. For additional information, see Pastor Riley’s study “So Simple” and just enter the key word: FM Riley on the Five Doves search engine to bring up his articles on 2008.

I'm curious however how you have determined that there will be a 10 year Tribulation period, as I've never made this connection in Daniel or Revelation, nor have I heard of this before in any studies. The Weeks of Daniel & the Jewish Shevuas are seven year periods. I believe the Sabbatical years coincide with the Shevuas. Two sets of 1260 prophetic days in Daniel and Revelation equal seven years. "Time, times, and half a time" in Daniel & Revelation, and 42 prophetic months in Revelation are thought by many Bible students to be 3.5 prophetic years, or half of a Jewish Week. And 1290 days in Daniel equal 3.5 prophetic years + 1 prophetic month. And again in Daniel, 1335 days equals 44.5 prophetic months or 3.7 years. But where do the extra 3 years in a 10 year Tribulation come from? And where in the Daniel and Revelation time lines will they fit?Thanks,- Monty in Dublin, Ireland

Re: Pentecost 5768 Thanks for your letter. Yes the exact period per Revelation for the 1st half of the Trib & the last half is 7 years. But there's a 'grace period' of somewhat unknown length between the Rapture and the onset of the Trib. I believe it's approx. 3 years. Revelation 2:10 (New International Version)10. Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days ('ten years' - each day representing a year). Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.The reason it may take that extra 3 years to begin the Trib period is that nation-states have spent thousands of years building and protecting their sovereignty - it may take a few years of 'softening up' to remove any barriers to a world government.I have a series of 38 visions received by an individual in South Africa (approx 30 pages plus word document) I can email you or anyone who would like it which seems to agree completely with this (and the subsequent 7 year Trib) - just email me at:TaylorForensics@aol.com

The Word of the Lord contains hidden truths that are only revealed at the time the Lord wants them revealed. They are often hidden right in plain sight in the Scriptures that men read every day. Yet the hidden truth in those Scriptures is unseen by men until the Lord’s appointed time for that particular truth to be revealed. (Pastor FM Riley)
A mathematician looks at Pentecost 5768:

In Exodus 23:17, the LORD commands: “Three times in a year shall all your males appear before the LORD God.” In the verses immediately above, these three feasts, called also Pilgrim Festivals, are defined as the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Passover), the Feast of Harvest (Pentecost) and the Feast of Ingathering (Booths). This commandment implies that standing before the LORD God, we unite with Him closer than in any other everyday circumstances. Therefore, I searched for codes of these three feasts: Passover = Pesach (חספ), Pentecost = Shavuot (תועובש) and Booths = Sukkoth (תוכוס). The most significant matrix I obtained was with Pentecost. Then, however, I decided to check also for New Year = Rosh Hashanah (הנשה שאר) and the Day of Atonement = Yom Kippur (רופכ םוי). The matrices obtained with these terms appeared to be less significant than the one with Pentecost. Finally, I added to the list the other two major Jewish feasts: Chanukah (הכונח) and Purim (םירופ). No one of the matrices exceeded in significance the matrix obtained with Pentecost – Shavuot. The one obtained with Chanukah was close in significance to that with Pentecost – having about 50 % higher matrix odds. Chanukah occurred at its lowest value in the Torah, 3, but far enough from the main term – in Deuteronomy 5:33. The matrix obtained with this term was more than three times larger than that obtained with Pentecost.

Although not at its lowest skip, Shavuot תועובש was also entirely within Deuteronomy 1. This fact made me examine the occurrence scrupulously. I noticed that the letter preceding the term is hey (ה), which is the definite article in Hebrew, thus making the term more specific: THE PENTECOST, HASHAVUOT! The odds are below 1 in 4.5 millions!

Courtesy of Daniel Matson:
The Day of the Lord is coming like a thief in the night. Naturally most Christians have taken this to mean that Christ’s return will be a surprise. This would make sense since it seems apparent that no one is to know the day or the hour of Christ’s return per the words of Christ himself. However, there is also the command to watch for His return. Therefore, it would suffice it to say that many believing Christians are left watching for an event that is impossible to anticipate. This is then why most Christians do not actively look for Christ’s return, if they aren’t first distracted by the cares of this world. Why watch for something that even though it might look probable, it can never be determined since no one will ever know? This would seem to be the logical conclusion with watching being limited by the surprise factor. But should not Scripture make sense of Scripture and provide a solid answer in harmony? If we are to watch for the day, should it not be possible to see that day approaching?

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25.
Clearly then, things have not been made clear in the study of "the coming thief in the night" and "the day no one knows". Obviously if we can see the day approaching, it should not be a total surprise. Should there then be any surprise left once the day is just around the corner? Many people would insist that this day is a surprise, but as the writer of Hebrews wrote, we can see the day approaching. Knowledge will increase.

The overall problem in this study is largely due to the fact that the Lord coming as a thief is misunderstood. The common understanding is that the Lord comes as a thief to the believer. This makes sense if the common perception is that we do not know the day or hour, but that is another issue. The problem is that these misunderstandings play off each other leading to a breakdown of Scriptural study. A careful reading of 1 Thessalonians 5 will expose the fallacy. Here the division is clear.

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But you, brethren are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 1 Thessalonians 5:2-6

Therefore, Paul is saying that the Day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night upon those who are in darkness and not those who are in the light. Instead of sleeping, the believer is to be watching and alert to the coming Day of the Lord. Those who are caught off guard will be the unbelievers and those who have chosen darkness. The analogy Scripture uses is that Christ is like the High Priest who returns to the temple to find two people—those watching and those sleeping. According to Alfred Edersheim and the Talmud, those who were sleeping on the Temple watch and were caught doing so were beaten and had their garments burned. The Captain of the Guard was the "thief in the night" who came in the night watches to verify that all was secure. Understanding this unlocks the passages that concern the Lord coming as a thief, for the ones surprised by the thief are those found not watching—these are the ones found naked and ashamed. For a believer to think that the thief should surprise him is contrary to Scripture. After all, we do not want as our goal to have our garments stolen in a failure of duty.

But know this: that if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore you also be ready: for in such an hour as you think not, the Son of man comes. Matthew 24: 43-44

Likewise, in this parable, Christ speaks of the Day coming as a thief, but his command is to watch, to be alert, and not be caught off guard. Notice further in the parable when Christ speaks of the evil servant. That servant says that Christ’s return is delayed and begins to sin. This results in being blind-sided and being totally unaware of Christ’s impending return. Christ returns in the day when he is not looking and at the hour he is not aware. Again the breakdown is clear. Those not watching are unable to determine the time. Those who are alert will see the day approaching.

Among the Letters to the Seven Churches are critical points concerning the Lord’s return for the Church. Here there is the warning to the Church of Sardis.
If therefore thou shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and thou shall not know what hour I will come upon you.

Revelation 3:3 speaks of an ‘hour’ or definite, fixed time period. A definite point in time.

This passage is very clear that there are two options on the table. One can watch or one can be caught unawares by the thief. This means that the time is indiscernible for those falling in the thief category. The flip side is that those who are watching will see the time and know the hour that Christ does return. Clearly then, looking for the time and being alert are not prohibitions in Scripture. Instead the opposite is true. The command is to be on guard, so as to anticipate the time.

Therefore, those who find that ignorance is bliss and somehow a proper stance in Christianity will have a rude awakening when Christ returns to find them sleeping. These will find themselves blind, naked, and ashamed at the return of Christ. Those falling into the category of the Church of Laodicea are also described with this same problem. Therefore, those who claim that Christ returns as a thief to everyone are and will be sadly mistaken. The thief comes to destroy and bring harm to those who are asleep.

Truly the Day of the Lord comes as a thief, but only to those who are not watching. For the believer who is in the light that day does not come like a thief. Those in the light are vigilant and will be able to see the day approaching as it draws nearer. Revelation knowledge will increase. But let it be known; Christ is not a thief to the believer who is prepared.

Information is plentiful but we have to dissect the intelligence from the information, while simultaneously ignoring the disinformation (which sometimes will appear, however well meaning). The NSA has a private corporate intranet where one can enter key search words and bring up topics of relevance. Every country spends millions, sometimes billions a year, for intelligence-gathering. Much more should we be engaged in this pursuit as we are commanded to ‘discern times and judgment.’

A PERFECT STORM *

* A once-in-a-lifetime convergence of the right conditions.

I found this on the Internet on their web site: A Christian missionary in South America had 3 dreams in January of 2007: This is one of them...

A Large group of war horses were galloping up the side of a mountain with great speed. I followed them as they galloped until they reached the summit of the mountain. Just over the ridge of the mountain was an open meadow. In the meadow I saw HUGE Golden -Yellow stones that had been carved into numbers. The stones were laying on the ground and where carved to write 2008, as I approached the stones to look closer at them, I noticed that they were all broken, and also there was a man standing looking at the broken stones. As I approached the man and the stones, I thought to myself; why are the stones that were carved into the numbers 2008 all broken up? The man, with his back still toward me and continuing to look at the stones responded: “They are broken because the year 2008 is not going to come.” Then the man turned toward me and suddenly I saw that it was the Son of Man, I fell to the ground. At first I felt as if I was going to be terrified but then I felt such a Love and a peace come over me. It was so powerful that I lay prostrate as dead. It was a feeling that my body could not handle.

“They are broken because the year 2008 is not going to come” is a dark saying.
Psalm 78:1-2 states: “Give ear, O My people, to My law; incline your ears to the Words of My mouth. I will open My mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old.”

Erekat: 6 Months to a Peace Deal

June 27, 2008Top negotiator for Palestinian Authority says solutions at hand for all core issues, now is time for decision-making.

"If we want a peace agreement – there are only six months left. This is the time to make decisions," Saeb Erekat said on Thursday evening.

Speaking at a conference organized by the 'Peres Center for Peace' at Tel Aviv University, the top negotiator for the Palestinian Authority was joined for a discussion on the recent renewal of Israeli negotiations with Syria by MK Yossi Beilin (Meretz) and former director-general of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, Dr. Alon Liel.

"Our goal is to reach an agreement. Regarding the core issues: Jerusalem, the refugees and the borders – all these have solutions. This is the time for decisiveness. We will not go back to talks over temporary arrangements or temporary border, we intend to reach an agreement and this is possible for all the core issues.


CONVERGENT VALIDATION: Sky-High Oil Will Make U.S. Go Broke
Stratospheric crude oil prices precipitated by speculation are wreaking havoc on the U.S. economy.

Based on income tax withholdings data from the Daily Treasury Statement, the wages of all U.S. workers on payrolls were unchanged on a year-over-year basis in the past two weeks (Friday, June 6 through Thursday, June 19) and rose 1.1% year-over-year in the past four weeks (Friday, May 23 through Thursday, June 19). Both of those growth rates are well below the 2.8% year-over-year in May, and they are consistent with an economy that is contracting sharply.

As long as oil prices stay above $120 per barrel, the economy is more likely to slow than strengthen, and companies are not likely to announce much float shrink. With real wages falling, large numbers of jobs being shed, gas prices exceeding $4 per gallon almost everywhere and home prices falling about 1% per month nationally, this year is going to be tough for American consumers.

A weakening dollar, demand – supply and a short supply of investors willing to go short oil futures are driving the price of oil upwards by the week. The open interest on oil futures worldwide is 2.6 million contracts. With oil prices at $140 per barrel, each contract is worth $140,000. To control $140,000 of oil, investors have to put up no more than $10,000.
A hefty $1.3 billion per month flowed into commodity trading advisers (CTAs) in the first four months of this year, and $700 million per month flowed into commodity exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the first five months of this year. Those amounts do not even include investments through other vehicles by hedge funds and pension funds. The latest issue of Barron's reports that $55 billion flowed into commodity investments in the first quarter of 2008, and probably at least one-third of that amount was directed into long-only investments in oil.

In any case, if half of the $2 billion per month inflow into CTAs and commodity ETFs were used to go long oil futures, it would be enough to go long 100,000 contracts, which is equal to 4% of the open interest on oil futures. In other words, open interest would grow roughly 50% per year just from inflows into CTAs and commodity ETFs.

What is happening now is not demand destruction, it is a financial disaster. The U.S. consumes 21 million barrels of per day. At $135 per barrel, the U.S. spends $1.0 trillion per year on oil, which is equal to 15% of the $6.8 trillion in take-home pay of everyone who pays taxes. If oil prices rose to $200 per barrel, the U.S. would spend $1.5 trillion per year on oil, which would be equal to 22% of take-home pay. Moreover, those percentages of 15% and 22% do not even include the cost of coal or natural gas. In other words, the U.S. will be broke long before oil prices hit $200 per barrel, and the rest of the world would be sure to follow.

Another way to put the oil crisis into perspective is to compare increased spending on oil to inflows into savings and investment vehicles. For every $60 per barrel increase in the price of oil, the U.S. spends an additional $450 billion annually, or $38 billion per month, on oil. In the past twelve months, the inflow into savings and investment vehicles--bank savings, certificates of deposit, retail money market funds, and all long-term mutual funds--was $744 billion, which is $296 billion more than the additional money the U.S. would spend each year on oil if the price of oil rose by $60 per barrel from its current level.

From April through June, the inflow into savings and investment vehicles was $35 billion per month, down 43% from $61 billion per month in the same period last year. In other words, the U.S. will generate almost no savings if the price of oil stays at $135 per barrel. If the price of oil rises even modestly from its current level, the U.S. will be operating at a deficit.

If regulators raised the margin requirement for oil futures to 25% from no more than 7.5%, the oil market would crack. Unfortunately for oil users, regulators are unlikely to boost the margin requirement, unless outside pressure becomes unbearable, because the income of commodity exchanges and traders would plummet.

But there is another side to the oil crises.

JERUSALEM (CNN) June 6, 2008-- An Israeli Cabinet member said the Jewish state "will attack" Iran if it doesn't halt its efforts to develop nuclear weaponry, according to a newspaper report Friday.

Shaul Mofaz is Israel's main liaison with the United States on strategic issues.
"If Iran continues its program to develop nuclear weapons, we will attack it," Deputy Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz told Yediot Ahronot, Israel's largest mass-circulation daily. "The window of opportunity has closed. The sanctions are not effective. There will be no alternative but to attack

Iran in order to stop the Iranian nuclear program."

Mofaz's threat is one of the most explicit made against the Islamic Republic of Iran by a member of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's Cabinet.

If Israel attacks Iran, watch out for Russia.

RUSSIA THREATENS NUKE STRIKE

Top-ranking Russian military figure Says America had better watch out. By Mark Glenn
Recent statements coming from one of Russia’s highest-ranking military commanders indicate that America and Israel plan to go ahead with war on Iran despite the release of the National Intelligence Estimate late last year.Russia’s military chief of staff General Yuri Baluyevsky threatened the use of nuclear weapons in case of a major threat. He said that, although they have no plans of attacking anyone, they nevertheless “consider it necessary for everyone around the world community to clearly understand, that to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Russia and its allies, military forces will be used, including, preventively, the use of nuclear weapons.”His statements (which can only have been made in concert with the overall policies established by his boss President Vladimir Putin) come a week after George Bush’s visit to the Persian Gulf, in which he attempted to rally the nations in that region around U.S. and Israeli plans of “confronting Iran’s nuclear program before it is too late.”

If Israel doesn’t attack Iran, they will have operational nuclear weapons by year-end.

One military analyst stated that when this attack happens, you can expect $ 200/ barrel oil.

We’re watching as the Seals of Revelation begin to open the Tribulation Period.

Jerusalem Post:

Israel is also concerned that Teheran is developing a cruise missile that can evade interception by the Arrow, the IDF's anti-ballistic missile defense system. Iran is suspected of having smuggled Ukrainian X-55 cruise missiles and using them as models for an independent, domestic project. A cruise missile, which flies at low altitudes to dodge radar detection and interception, could be used to carry a nuclear warhead.

There is an old Chinese proverb: “May you live in interesting times.” It doesn’t get much more interesting…
