Now for a most
phenomenal and revealing part of this writing. This is a very short section; but because of its profound
significance, it stands alone.
Now that we
have introduced the truth of the New Millennial Calendar and what must take
place in the calendar’s restoration, we have to address what the calendar
has been since Passover in this reversed darkness-first period. In the next section we examine
Yahshua’s crucifixion and resurrection. But in order to do so, we have to see what era this was in
and how it affected the reckoning of time and events.
As addressed
in The Revelation of the Millennium and reviewed in the first section, time has been flipped
so that the greater glory has been given to the corrupt work. The wilderness preceded the promised
land, Saul preceded David, night preceded the day, the month began in darkness,
Passover took the place of Tabernacles, the nations ruled over the kingdom of
heaven, Satan took the place of Yahshua, and death prevailed over life. This was the world Yahshua entered, and
He could not reverse it at that time! In
fact, even as He became a man, yet without sin; so He became like the corrupt
time He entered into, yet without sin.
Let us begin
by making a very dramatic and startling statement:
When Yahshua came into this world the first time, He
came as a crescent moon!
Consistent with
the testimony of His birth, Yahshua, born on Trumpets at the time of a crescent
moon, was Himself a crescent moon.
What exactly is a crescent moon?
As we have noted, it is a brief sliver of moon that appears in the west
just before sunset, preceding complete darkness. In contrast, the full moon, or for that matter the sun,
rises in the east, bringing ever-increasing light into the darkness. Therefore, the west is prophetic of
darkness and death, and there was no western gate in Jerusalem. And the east is prophetic of the
dawning of light, truth, deliverance, and life; and Yahshua’s return is
prophetically spoken of relative to the eastern gate. Thus we see the darkness and death of the crescent moon in
the west, and the light and hope of the full moon or the sun in the east.
So one must
ask: At Yahshua’s first coming, was His work one of no gate facing west,
or was it the work of the eastern gate?
Clearly, it was not a gate.
He left this world and remained in heaven. Also, was His first coming followed by light, or by
darkness? In John 9:4-5, we read
Yahshua’s own clear statement concerning this:
“We
must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming
when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Yahshua is
indeed the light of the world; but His first coming in this reversed corrupted
period was not as the rising sun, but as the crescent moon. He stated in His own clear words the
firm and thus-far-missed truth: His coming would be followed by darkness, where
no man could work. Thus, even the
Son of God Himself came under and even fulfilled the law of this corrupt
period.
Yahshua came
the first time as the crescent moon in the west. And having fulfilled the law of the curse, and when that
curse can now be reversed since it is legally Jubilee as of 1994 and Trumpets,
October 25, 2007,
He can now come as the rising sun so that men can finally do the work of the
Father.
Just for the
record, you see a like testimony in Daniel 9:24-27. You will have to read and study Shelah and
Clay of Spittle, pages 4 and
5,
to understand this, but once again we see Yahweh flipping two parts. Yahshua came in the middle of the
concluding seven years and fulfilled the latter three-and-a-half years of the
covenant. But one would think He
would have come at the beginning.
Yet once again He flipped them and came so as to fulfill the latter
three-and-a-half years. The last
was fulfilled first, thereby the first will be fulfilled last. Why? So that the glory and the sustained light could be given to
the fulfilling first three-and-a-half years. By walking out the last as a death work, He made it possible
for the first to be the life work, giving the glory and sustained light to the
remaining three-and-a-half years of ministry that are now upon us. This is exactly what He did with Tabernacles
and Passover – He fulfilled the last, Passover, first, in order to give
the glory and sustained fulfillment to Tabernacles. Yahshua was the only one with the power of an indestructible
life, so He had to fulfill Passover.
And as He declared, “The first will be last, and the last
first.”
We have said
that Yahweh’s ways and patterns are replicable, and this same truth is
seen in the following:
The
conclusion of Yahshua’s three-and-a-half year ministry period had the
wonderful anticipation of Him being heralded as king. That climax was then quickly interrupted, cut short, by His
crucifixion. But it gives a great
promise and hope for the fulfilling now-last three-and-a-half year period. This period should be able to pick up
where the last-made-first left off, less the crucifixion.
Kingdom John
attests to this reversal as well, wherein the last – cleansing the temple
in Matthew, Mark, and Luke at the conclusion of Yahshua’s ministry
– is made first in John – cleansing the temple immediately after the
wedding feast at the beginning of His ministry. This wedding and the temple cleansing at the beginning of
kingdom John equally tells us where the now-first three-and-a-half year
covenant should begin – the wedding feast where, before its time, water is
turned into wine (the new kingdom), and the Millennial temple is cleansed. Again, the last was made first.
In conclusion
here, Yahshua’s coming as a crescent moon helps understand why the Jews
were using the crescent moon at the time of His appearance. It was inevitable that they, and all of
Christianity, would be a time of darkness when no man could do the work of the
Father. (You will understand this
better when you read the section, “Solomon’s Temple.”) As Yahshua demonstrated on the way to
Jerusalem, neither the Jews nor Christians were in the season for bearing
fruit, and their fig tree was cursed (Mark 11:12-14, 20-21). That season of fruit-bearing would not
come until today in the Millennial reign, when Trumpets/Tabernacles can be
restored to being first, and a new heavens and new earth can legally now be
created.
Let us now
consider what impact that crescent-moon period had on Yahshua’s
crucifixion. For one, we know that
the month began with the crescent moon.
Two, we know that the prevailing sabbath would have been a Saturday, and
afterwards manipulated to be a Sunday.
And finally, we know that death would prevail over life, and the nations
would kill the King of the kingdom of heaven.
