The Seventh Day of the week, the Feast of the Eighth Day, and the Sabbath of the Creator,

 

the 22th day of month #7, 22 Tishrei,

in the 5924th[(??)] year following the beginning recorded in Genesis 1

and in the 2028th year following the beginning recorded in Luke 1:26-33

 

[The 20th day of the month per ancient Rabbinical reckoning,

22 Chesvan (month #8) per more recent Jewish reckoning

(based upon a decimal error in Hillel II’s directives causing a wandering of the seasons!),

 

[Saturday, the 6th day of the Pope’s week (as revised in Sweden from 1973 A.D.,)

November 19 in the 2011th year of Caesar Tiberius

(per current Gregorian reckoning in Europe and elsewhere,)

Cf. Daniel 7:25…]

 

 

Beloved Brethren and Sisters among the Heirs of God’s Kingdom,

 

Today, this Seventh Day Sabbath, constitutes, to the best of my understanding, the first special annual date with the Creator of Time, our God. The name of this special Feast is simply The Eighth Day. Cf. Leviticus 23:36, 39!

 

Considering that The Eighth Day Feast is subsequent to that feast, known as the Feast of Tabernacles and as the Feast of Ingathering, which defines the Biblical end of the year (cf. Exodus 23:16; 34:22!) it really goes without saying that the Eighth Day Feast defines the beginning of the Scripture year, but to emphasize that this day does indeed constitute the beginning of the Scripture year this fact is also made part and parcel of the name of this new year’s day, that is, the Eighth Day. As you know, there are only seven days in a week. It follows that the eighth day of the week can be none other than the First Day of the following week. Likewise the Feast of the Eighth Day constitutes the beginning of that year which follows the Scripture year which ends with the Feast of Ingathering. For more details, please review my study under this link…

 

As I mentioned in my last prior mail, three weeks ago, the Day of Trumpets serves as a first announcement of the beginning of the upcoming Scripture Year. I mentioned that the Day of Trumpets this last year coincided with that day which is claimed as the very last day of the Maya calendar, that is, Friday October 28, 2011. Accordingly, beginning with today, a most special Sabbath indeed, we have now begun that Scripture year which is commonly known as “2012,” which reckoning, however, finds its beginning with that man, Tiberius, who was adopted by Caesar Augustus not only as his son, but as his successor on the throne of the Roman Empire.

 

Considering the theme of today’s study, “From Slaves to Heirs,” I do find one of those unlikely coincidences, called synchronicities, in the fact that on this very Sabbath we are studying a subject with such strong ties to our Roman Calendar reckoning, that is, to that beginning which is constituted by the day when Caesar Augustus adopted Tiberius as his son and successor, and who, by so doing, transformed Tiberius from being a slave into being an heir.

 

What parallels and what lessons may we perceive between those ancient events and our own relation to those powers that we are choosing for ourselves from day to day? What do you perceive? What do I perceive?

 

As you may know by now, I have come to recognize ever more clearly that the State, that is, that Roman Empire and that Roman Law (not excluding the US Statues) unto which most of us are still subject, is an entity defining a government which is to serve as governors under those that have claim to the real powers. But who are those that own the real powers behind the curtains? Perhaps by reflex you’ll respond that that is none other than God? However, perhaps, after considering that special Bible Study of today, something more will come to mind? Or isn’t it true that the People of God, the Heirs of God, We the People, are the rightful owners of the real powers? And isn’t it true that that same People of God are being trained by and under a certain trustee or governorship, that is, a “school master,” “tutor,” “guardian,” or “disciplinarian” if you will, better known by terms such as the State(s), the Government, the King, etc.? But where then is that People of God which is not only of legal age (cf. the terms ‘act of law’ and ‘legalism!’) and which People no longer are subject to such tutorship or ‘paidagogos,’ but which People of God have also accepted and received all that which is inherent in said Testament and inheritance, and who are heeding God’s calling His People out of Babylon. That is, that People of God who are now rightfully laying claim to the throne of God, that is, in contradistinction to being an heir merely of that power which is inherent in serving as tutors of the potential heirs of God that are being born from day to day?

 

I am thinking also of that which is the real essence in Paul’s message to the Galatians and which I find quite clearly expressed even in Galatians 1:1-2, that is, upon realizing that the word ‘unto’ introduced into the KJV has no basis in the Greek Textus Receptus, and which text seems to define the church of Galatia in terms of God (cf. the terms ‘bride’ or ‘wife’ of God… and the family of God being One.) Cf. also Gen 1:27! Thus, as it seems to me, it is clear that Paul is very much reprimanding the Galatians for having fallen back into a mindset of such as are slaves, or children of, those servants of the People who are serving as tutors, but who are not themselves claiming a position among the People of God who are being taught and prepared for being the rightful children and heirs of God.

 

Perhaps this is the point for some reflection re the extent unto which we, here and now in each our own churches and congregations, remain in a mindset such as Paul is reprimanding the Galatians for having… Unto what extent may we, here and now, be in a state of mind such as is the result of having been “brought any other gospel… than that which…” the Galatians had originally received from Paul? Cf. Gal 1:9! If thus misled, is there any wonder we are having trouble making complete sense out of Paul’s epistle to the Galatians?! That is, if we take for granted that our mindset relative to the State is in harmony with Paul’s original teaching, while in effect the opposite is true? Consider also Paul’s reference, per Gal 4;10, to certain “days, and months, and times, and years.” If we do understand that Paul is here making reference to certain ungodly holydays, that is, such days as Sunday as the Sabbath, such months and years as are being defined by the Gregorian Calendar, and such times as Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc., that is, in contrast to such Sabbaths and to such feasts and holy convocations as are being defined forever by God for His own People per Leviticus 23… Well, is it really strange that we find it difficult to fully grasp, accept, and understand the point of Paul in his Epistle to the Galatians?

 

It’s only too easy to be blind to one’s own state of mind, isn’t it?

 

. . . . .

 

Now, isn’t it a relief no longer to have a reason for worrying about such things as what will happen at the time of the end of the Mayan calendar?! At this point we have survived not only October 28, 2011, but also that date which per the Gregorian Calendar is written by the numbers 11-11-11, perhaps adding also the exact hour, minute, and second, as in 11:11:11! Indeed we have not only survived the beginning of the Jewish calendar year being associated with 2012, but, by now, also the beginning of the corresponding new year of the Scripture’s own calendar reckoning! However…

 

Is now the time to relax and to throw overboard our turning to our Creator and Savior in favor of our earlier wicked traditions and habits, that is, all that wickedness for which Paul is reprimanding the Galatians?

 

Or, do we continually find reason for carefully listening for the still small voice of our Creator as He is trying to call upon each our attention? Isn’t there ever more reason for turning to the word of God, while carefully comparing those words to God’s own creation, and to reality as it really was, is, and will be?! Perhaps by so doing we will learn to better perceive each our own state of mind and each our own state of being? Perhaps by so doing we will finally be able, by the power of God alone, to correct things in each our own lives that needs correction and improvement! And I am thinking not only in terms of such things as are commonly associated with obtaining a more godly character, but more in terms of who is each of us claiming as holding title to each our name, to each our body, and unto each our life and beingness? For instance… How am I defining myself, and how are you defining yourself, upon being asked to identify ourselves before “the authorities” and “governments,” which, in a certain sense, as referenced also by Paul in his epistle to the Galatians, are serving, in the hands of God, as “tutors,” “disciplinarians,” or “school masters” of the children of God? Are we allowing ourselves to be taught by those tutors such that in the end we end up being members and citizens of the States of Satan’s kingdom, yes, even tutors and guardians of the potential heirs of God, even of our very selves, or are we rather learning to listen ever more intently to the still small voice of God as He is teaching each of us and guiding each of us along the path upon which Jesus, the Messiah, our prime example and pattern, is continually walking before us? Are we learning to become children of Satan, that is, accusers of our brethren, such as persecute and co-conspire towards the demise of each our families, tempters of one another as well as of our selves, even such tempters as Satan himself when in the desert for forty days he tempted Jesus? Or, are we each getting to know ourselves better, who we were originally each designed by our Creator to be? Are we willing to each commit ourselves and our wills into His hands and into His service to the betterment of all, by means of His power alone?

 

One thing that I am still considering, and for which I am seeking God’s guidance, is that which is known as coded messages of the Holy Scriptures as found in the original Hebrew language. Are those coded words, and to what extent if so, intended by God as special messages with many, albeit quite fragmented, details re each our lives as well as re current events in the greater world? Or, are those finds merely the figment of the fantasy of men while we are yet remaining unawares of all the particular rules and mathematics making such coded finds possible? To what degree is it possible and of essence for us to test for instance the reality of a certain named comet, which per said Bible code, is understood as being destined to annihilate the Earth at the time of Passover in the year 2012, that is, on or about April 6, 2012? To what extent is this an example of our need of having our minds cleansed out of our own thoughts, our own traditions, our own teaching, and our own beingness and fears? And, if April 6, 2012 ends up passing without much trace of anything of significance, will we then continually be seeking for ever more to work towards the realization of God’s Kingdom as did Yeshua, the Messiah, and John the Baptist? More details under this link…

 

Next Biblical Feast is Purim, that feast of gladness and sharing of gifts which was instituted in consequence of the events recorded in the Book of Esther. That will be on the 14th and on the 15th of the 12th Scripture months [beginning at sunset Thursday April 5, 2012.] Please notice that that feast is concurrent with that which is being referenced in my above paragraph! Please notice also that, within the frame of said Bible code, there are indeed found Hebrew words meaning “It will be crumbled. I will tear to pieces.” Those last words have been interpreted in terms of referencing the destruction of the comet, but as for me, I see no reason why those same words could not equally well apply to the Earth which, per the same Bible code, is said to be destined for annihilation at that time. The question remains, are any of those coded words at all intended as messages of our Creator?

 

Be such things as they may, please remember that just as for the Jews at the time of Esther, so also each our ultimate safety is totally in the hands of our Maker, the Lord of Hosts!

 

Praised be His name, Yahweh Elohim!

 

 

 

May the peace of our Creator and Savior rest over each our families and homes for ever,

[1] After having focused closely upon Scriptural chronology based upon the most original references and using the best tools available to me, I see little or no reason not to consider Scripture month #1, aviv (as used and applied in Biblical times,) as being based upon the aviv found on Mount Jerusalem, or perhaps more accurately, upon the current location of the Ark of the Covenant (while not upon the aviv found at hotter and lower altitudes, albeit within the boundaries of Israel, e.g. in the Jordan valley or in the Negev desert.)
