the 15^th day in the eighth month,

the very feast created in honor of none other than

King Jeroboam himself (1 Kings 12:32-33),

 

the 30^th day of month #8, Bul (Heshvan) 30,

in the 5941^st_[(?,)] year following the beginning recorded in Genesis 1

and in the 2027^th year following the beginning recorded in Luke 1:26-33

Dear Lasse!

 

Thanks for being you! Thanks for standing up for your convictions! Thanks for all that which you and your family is for me! Thanks for all the values I find in, and in consequence of, all that which you are sharing with me and others, most particularly by means of your sermons… not to mention all that which ties into your activities for the Karlstad congregation!

 

I have some feedback for you that I hope you will perceive as strengthening and constructive, something that you’ll find valuable…

 

You well know that I’ve been spending considerable time in the last several years trying my best towards discerning the time dimension of the Holy Scriptures. Naturally that’s what my feedback is mostly all about. Its only obvious that prior to having seen and correctly understood the time dimension behind the events of the Scriptures, we are necessarily blind to that aspect and we are easily misled by each our own false assumptions, or isn’t that natural and obvious?

 

In your last Sabbath sermon you quoted Matthew 21:9-12. In that connection you happened to mention Friday, which touched a string with me, albeit I do not quite remember exactly what Friday you were talking about. You see, in my in depth Bible studies re those passages I’ve discovered that verses 1-9 were Sixth Day, that is, Friday, events. In your sermon you were being quite clear about the fact that, based upon your preferred Bible translation, you perceive also verses 10-12 as representing events that happened on the same day as the events of verses 1-9. However, although this is indeed a common understanding, I am convinced that this is yet another error of traditional teaching and thinking. If you carefully compare that passage with the parallel passage in Mark, perhaps you might find, as I did years ago (cf. my notes at Aviv 10-13 at this link!) that those events were played out over three separate days?

 

Given that there’s been a few years since I did the above study of mine and that my findings were not quite up front in my immediate memory I chose not to discuss these issues during our time together last Sabbath. Nevertheless, come yesterday I was reminded of this issue and I decided to go to the closest to the original text I have currently available to me, which is Shem Tov’s Hebrew Matthew (which reference I didn’t know existed at the time of my former study,) and what did I find, if not how that even per this Matthew reference it is being made clear that Matthew himself separates these events one from the other so far as timing is concerned. For instance, in Shem Tov’s Hebrew text, Matthew 21:1-9 is placed under Chapter 87, whereas Matthew 21:10-22 is placed under Chapter 88. Furthermore, in order to emphasize that verses 9 and 10 represent separate events in time Matthew is using the word ” אחרי;achari”, meaning “after this” or “on a later occasion”, and I believe George Howard’s translation of this verse is quite literally a correct translation, at least so far as the first section of verse 10 goes:

 

 

 

 

 

Notice how that already in the Syriac Peshitta New Testament the original partitioning into chapters is lost:

 

 

 

As best I can tell, said partitioning was likewise lost even as early as in the Aramaic translation from which the Greek Textus Receptus was once translated [Please be sure to press the link to recognize the gist of my words!] Well, one thing leads to another and the consequences will be, and are, accordingly, while we, as late comers, are doomed to pick up the pieces trying as best we can to comprehend a reality and an ultimate original Hebrew text which to us is largely hidden behind very darkly colored glasses.

 

Well, that’s that about that…

 

 

 

 

 

I don’t know whether or not I have been able to express myself clearly enough before, or if you’ve been able to recognize this most important issue re each our choice of king in very real and down to earth terms, indeed by means of each our daily choices and actions? That is, much more than by intent and purpose. Indeed our common blindness, inherited from generations before us as it is, keeps on deceiving us by means of our common ways of thinking, by means of our education, by means of each our own words, our own songs in church, and each our daily action in life. Perhaps our blindness is most acute re our choices re our appointed timing for thinking about, remembering, singing, or preaching about certain events of essence – things that are very much designed for subtly teaching us to bring our Hosannas to quite another king than whom we may think we are. Who then are we honoring, in effect, when in real life, and in real time we are singing along with that orchestra that is being directed and tuned, not to God’s table of Appointments, but to the calendar created and designed by King Jeroboam and the Powers of Darkness? Or isn’t our purpose that of paying allegiance to Yahweh Elohim, the Creator of the universe, Him who alone created time, light, life; the Almighty God who alone is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords? And why is it that the calendar of the Holy Scriptures is all but totally lost since close to 2,000 years ago? Think about it, aren’t we choosing to sing our Hosannas to the king at that particular time of the year which is the time associated with darkness, and with lights made by men? And why is it that at this particular time we are choosing to sing songs commemorating events that took place during the very opposite time of the year, that is, in the first or the middle portion of the summer? Indeed, there is little if any controversy re Yeshua riding into Jerusalem on an ass, or on an ass’s colt, right before Passover, an event which in that particular year fell on May 10, a time of the year very much associated with renewed life, flowers and exploding lushness most everywhere. Any wonder, in that setting of time, that the people were singing their Hosannas to the King who alone is the Creator of Life and Light?! Is it truly our intension to carry these traditions of King Jeroboam and Lucifer forwards forever more to the next generation, and the next, and the next…? Is it really so very wonderful and important to retain these Roman Catholic traditions of Mysticism and Sanctified lies based on nothing than that which is associated with a breach of the Tenth Commandment, that is, King Jeroboam’s jealousy and his fears of losing his people to Judah and Jerusalem? Is that why we insist on singing spring time Hosannas to the King of Life, Truth, and Light discordantly and in the midst of the winter and in the midst of darkness and cold, that is, in perfect tune to that feast of Jeroboam beginning on the 15^th day of the 8^th month? Or at the very least, so it is this particular year in 2010! Are we being Adventist Catholics, or what?

 

For me at least, it seems as though this eternal recurrence of the Advent of Christmas at the time of midwinter sacrifice to the Nordic gods of heathen men (who may indeed be the direct descendants of the tribe of Dan; displaced by the Assyrian king to northern Volga in Russia, where once an Hebrew kingdom was once established by those men!!!, and from where very likely the Vikings may have sprung!) is totally anachronistic relative to the timing of the events as they did occur and do keep occurring still from year to year… Now, isn’t this also very much what the prophet Daniel in Daniel 7:25 intended to alert us to? That is, the changing of exactly tuned appointments and feasts to and of the Creator God, Nature’s God! Thinking about these things, I can’t help but finding a note of discordance in the otherwise most poignant teachings of yours re the importance of letting each our lights shine, our lights of truth as lit by none other than the God of Truth, re not allowing our lights to be placed under the bushel… Teachings of yours that are indeed very much in tune with Yeshua’s own teaching at the time of the middle of the winter (cf. Luke 11:33!) If and when we keep on doing what we are doing in spite of ourselves, aren’t we then very much separating ourselves from that which is to be cleansed? Indeed, perhaps that is why some of us seem to insist on associating sanctification with the word ‘separation’ rather than with the word ‘cleansing?’ Cf. Strong’s H6942! That is, aren’t we, by so doing, insisting on separating ourselves from God’s People while favoring our remaining with the Powers of Darkness? Indeed, isn’t it true that likewise the word ‘Pharisee’ (cf. Strong’s G5330 & H6567!) truly does mean ‘separate’ and that the Pharisee tradition do prefer to dress in dark colored clothing, while insisting also in maintaining forever the ancient traditions and lies of the Talmud and of the Oral Torah? And, aren’t they too, by so doing, doing their very best to demonstrate clearly and truthfully to whom they wish to pay their allegiance and to whom they wish to belong, honor, work for, and sing their Hosannas to?

 

Wouldn’t it be more honorable for us to stand up straight, while proudly, on behalf of none but our Creator in verity, following in the footsteps of our Savior and in the footsteps of our own Seventh-day Adventist fathers and pioneers, while we, as did they, unhesitatingly listen for and heed any and all obvious rays of truth and light, which from time to time is being provided by none other than the Cleansing Breath of the Creator Himself, the Holy Spirit of God?

 

 

 

As I said, I do hope and I do trust that you do indeed value feedback as highly as I do!

 

 

 

May the peace of God rest over each of our families and homes at this mid-winter time,
