Jupiter Signs
–
Jesus said there would be signs in the heavens in the last days. Can events on Jupiter have any significance for us?

Jupiter is one of the ‘wandering stars’, originally one of the 7 planets (called the inner planets)
–
Jupiter is also known as:
1. in Hebrew is Tzedek, meaning ‘righteousness’
2. King David Planet
3. Also known as the Messiah
4. Largest planet

Jupiter’s first sign
Jewish tradition teaches that when a heavenly object strikes Jupiter it means trouble is coming to Israel.
On July 16, 1994 (Av 9- Tisha B’Av, the most dreaded day on the Jewish calendar), Shoemaker Levi Comet broke into 21 pieces, bombarding Jupiter for 7 days, each impact stronger than a nuclear bomb.
At that time secret talks were going on in Oslo, Norway to exchange Israel’s land for peace (Oslo Accords).
At that time Jupiter was in the sign of Libra, ‘The Scales’, often referred to as ‘the light’.
The adjacent constellation was Scorpio- the symbolism was of Satan (the anti-messiah) trying to get the light. [At that time in the heavens the birth pains really began.]

Jupiter’s second sign
Recently, Jupiter has not been taking hits from heavenly objects, but there is a HUGE SIGN in the heavens on the planet that represents Israel.
I have attached a few lines from the article today regarding Jupiter.
Please notice the 2 times it happened before.
(1) 1973 was the Yom Kippur War which led to the Geneva Peace Conference.
(2) The Madrid Peace Conference happened in 1991 (with James Baker, who has replacement theology).

From Astronomy.com today:
One of Jupiter’s major features — its South Equatorial Belt — is gone.
And although the current disappearance probably resulted from intense storm activity within Jupiter’s atmosphere, planetary scientists find themselves at a loss to explain what the trigger was.
They also don’t know how long the belt will remain invisible.
This isn’t the first time this phenomenon has occurred, and it probably won’t be the last.
The South Equatorial Belt (SEB) disappeared in 1973 and 1991.
“I’ve been watching Jupiter for 4 decades,” said Astronomy Contributing Editor Raymond Shubinski, “and I’ve seen Jupiter with only one belt at least twice before.
It’s a jarring sight if you’re familiar with the planet.
It’s like seeing Jupiter without one of its large satellites, but a belt can stay hidden for months.”

Jupiter’s third sign
On September 21, the planet will appear bigger and brighter than at any time in 47 years.
September 9 is the Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah 5771
September 18 is Yom Kippur, Day of Atonement
September 22 (eve) to 30 is Feast of Tabernacles

Watch and Pray
Jesus commanded us to WATCH (Mark 13:33-37).
He said there would be signs in the heavens in the last days (Luke 21:11).
Sunday is the Christian observance of Pentecost.
It is also the Global Day of Prayer. To have those two events together is extremely rare.
This is a great opportunity to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem (Ps 122:6; Isaiah 62:1)
My uncle has a PhD in chemical engineering, my whole family including myself are fans of Steven Hawkings and read lots of books on outter space. My son loves anything to do with planets and my uncle wrote a Thesis when he went to harvard school. Everything that I have been watching and looking at says that everything with the planets is going normal. Maybe there is something I missed?
hi Nisi
In general, everything is fine. This post is about small variations from what is normally seen.

Hello there and greetings!
I guess you’ve heard that Jupiter took another hit on June 3rd (yesterday).
Here’s a link:
http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/59977/description/Jupiter_takes_yet_another_hit
hi Blue Cranberry
Thanks for the update. There may be a correlation after all. There is a lunar eclipse due June 11th, and traditionally, this means trouble for Israel. With this happening, I expect more trouble with the flotilla business, and more antisemitism.
Hi Marianne,
I’m sorry but reading the clouds of Jupiter is akin to reading tea leaves, the I Ching or tarot cards. It borders on astrology and here is what God has to say about that:
Jer 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
It has been 16 years since the comet strike and no-one has presented any kind of evidence that that foretold any events on earth.
And predicting “more of the same” doesn’t count.
We are all anxious to see prophecy fulfilled, but this is like grasping at straws. Do you really think that God would tie the second coming of Jesus to the cloud belt of Jupiter? To a God that could part the Red Sea and destroy Sodom and Gomorra this seems a bit lame, dont‘cha think?
I think we might be insulting God’s intelligence or his power when we look to such insignificant events to be the precursor to Christ’s return.
There are plenty of events right here on earth (such as the signing of the EU treaty last December) that are fulfilling prophesy right before our eyes. If you don’t see these things then perhaps you need to re-evaluate your interpretation.
And to all of you who plan to visait Antarctica to see the upcoming eclipse, bring your cameras and be ready for something beautiful and spectacular, but don’t count on seeing Jesus anytime soon. 😉
Guess who the “wise men” were…..astrologers…this is the translation in Greek! Which does make sense since they said..”we saw the star in the sky…”
There is not much we know for sure about the magi. The word “magician” comes from that root. They knew prophecy and astronomy but whether they were in the business of telling fortunes remains to be proved.
In the summer of 2BC there was a close conjunction of Venus Jupiter and the star Regulus (Alpha Leonis) whose name means “King”.
Perhaps this was the sign they saw that started their journey to Bethlehem, but I believe the “star of Bethlehem” was a divine beam of light to lead the wise men to the manger once they arrived in town. I don’t think it was an actual star still visible today.
I don’t know if that conjunction will soon be repeated but if it was the sign in the heavens 2000 years ago perhaps it will be the next sign.
Something to think about anyway.
In the predawn all week, Jupiter is a brilliant jewel high in the southern sky and impossible to miss — nothing nearby is even close to being as bright.

Jupiter up close and personal
This coming Monday, the solar system’s largest planet will pass within 368 million miles of our home. It’s been almost 50 years since Jupiter has been this close to Earth.

New Fireball on Jupiter Spotted By Skywatchers

Jupiter gets this close every 40 years or so and stuff strikes it all the time. Not a very spectacular sign if it were one. Like saying there will be big rainstorms in Seattle. Not a big deal except to sensationalists who want to make mountains out of mole hills.
Don’t tell me, He caught a single fish and fed the whole country.
Did you get some? How was it. Maybe the people in the asylum just told you it was from Jesus because you went off your meds.
Just wonderin’
🙂
Two phenomena have struck me recently as being signs in the wandering star Jupiter. Shoemaker Levi red scars from impacts mirror Jesus’s scourging wounds. The significant reduction in the Great Red Spot are symbolic of the spear wound at the end of the cruxifiction as it will at an appointed time be healed i.e. vanish.
hi guy
this link has some more information also
http://www.sonstoglory.com/Revelation12starSignBirth.htm
god bless you
Marianne thanks for the link. Yes I have read this one before. The Regulus Jupiter conjunction was almost certainly what the three wise men saw as the Star of Bethlehem. Keep track of these four blood red moons and solar eclipses too. Coming back to Shoemaker Levy there were 21 major impacts followed by 20 minor ones. 41 total could be the shameful number of lashes Jesus was scourged with.
For “The Rest of the Story” on Jupiter, read: http://www.bethlehemstarsequel.com/resources/Star-of-Bethlehem-The-Rest-of-the-Story.pdf. You will be amazed.
Clayton, Guy and Marienne,
The following link summarizes the pdf 56 page document Clayton posted in about 5 typed pages, incorporating Stellarium snap shots and more.
https://heavenawaits.wordpress.com/signs-in-the-heavens/
The blood moon and sackcloth sun cycle (2014-2015) is significant, because they end with the Feasts of Tabernacles, 2015.
The “blood moons” and “sackcloth suns” (2014-2015) are a warning of what comes next (Joel 2:31-32).
Now, please consider the following Masonic puzzle, which explains what occurs in the year, 2016.
Satan knows what is coming and what occurs from the first seal to the last events in Revelation.
Satan shared his knowledge with the Freemasons (33 degree attainment). So, we can expect the Masons to ever so discreetly display what is coming through their artwork and images – boasting of their occult knowledge (cleverly).
With the above as background, here is an unusual confirmation of the significance of the ending of the blood moons/solar eclipses (Feasts, 2014- 2015) and the next year, 2016 according to the Masons.
The symbol of the first Masonic Government is the Great Pyramid with the “all seeing eye of Horus” (Lucifer), floating above as the capstone.
Please read the Latin phrase on the Great Seal of the US.
Masonic Founding Fathers selected 1776 as the year of independence, birthing a NWO.
The Masons applied the date 1776 on the base of their pyramid graphic as a calendar, counting down to when their NWO arrives. Their NWO arrives when the capstone is placed upon the peak of the pyramid.
The “all seeing eye” floating at the top of the pyramid on the Great Seal represents “Horus” who is an Egyptian occult representation of Lucifer.
The year at the base of the pyramid graphic on the Great Seal is 1776 (MDCCLXXVI). Masons long ago called 1776 “The Year of Light.”
Next, Masons adhered to the Kabbala along with Egyptian pagan/occult rites, rituals and believes.
In the Kabbala it states:
“240 years before the seventh millennium (i.e., the year 6000 from creation), the lower waters will rise and cover the entire world, and only Eretz Yisroel [the Land of Israel] will remain, which will float on the surface of the water like Noach’s Ark; they will approach Gan Aiden [Garden of Eden], the place from which the four rivers leave. The people who survive will be completely righteous, and there they will be whitened, purified, and made spiritual.” (Yalkut Reuveini, Shichechus Leket, “Eretz Yisroel v’Chutz L’Aretz,” 6; in the name of the Rokeach–Gali Razyah)
Not only do Masons know Egyptian occult, but they read the Kabbala and also convert the Hebrew calendar into the Gregorian calendar.
Next – 1776 to 2016.
The height of the Great Pyramid in Egypt is 5776 inches with the capstone in place.
The Great Pyramid is represented on The Great Seal of the US with a date of 1776 at the base.
So now, let’s put this all together – “a secret in plain sight” as it is understood by those who study such puzzles.
The Great Seal was designed by Ben Franklin (33 degree Mason) with a Latin phrase identifying the birthing of a NWO (1776 – “The Year of Light”).
1776 was noted by Ben Franlklin on a base of a graphic pyramid that represents the Great Pyramid, which is 5776 inches in hight.
5776 in the Hebrew calendar is the year 2016.
We read in the Kabbala that the number of years before the 7th millennium is 240.
1776 (birth of a NWO, “The Year of Light” + 240 (Kabbala reference) = 2016.
The NWO becomes operational when the capstone is applied to top or the pyramid or when Lucifer is seated as leader do the NWO, 2016.
The Masons put the NWO message on the Great Seal of the US.
Here’s our situation:
Barry, is the first gay President of the Masonic Government, birthing the NWO as the son of perdition in 2016. He will be seated as the ruler of their NWO.
This event just happens to occur the year following a very unique cycle of blood moons and sackcloth suns (Joel 2:20-21, Amos 5:18-20).
The year 2017 is significant too.
Jubilee count (49 years and into a Jubilee year) into the mix, following the year 2016.
Let’s begin with 1917 and the Balfour Declaration:
“His Majesty’s government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”
“The initial draft of the declaration, contained in a letter sent by Rothschild to Balfour, referred to the principle ‘that Palestine should be reconstituted as the National Home of the Jewish people’ (Stein, Leonard (1961). The Balfour Declaration. New York: Simon and Schuster. p. 470.)
1917 is a Jubilee year.
50 years later = 1967 and another Jubilee year.
“The liberation of Jerusalem in 1967 marked the first time in thousands of years that the entire city of Jerusalem, the holiest city in Judaism, was under Jewish sovereignty. The destruction of Jerusalem was a watershed event in Jewish history that began thousands of years of mourning for Jerusalem, so, it follows, that the reunification of Jerusalem should be a joyous celebration that begins the process of reversing thousands of years of destruction and exile. Jerusalem is central to the Jewish tradition. Jews face in the direction of Jerusalem and all of the prayer services are filled with references to Jerusalem.
The observance of Yom Yerushalayim outside of the city cannot compare to its celebration in reunited Jerusalem. In Jerusalem, thousands of people march around the city and walk through the liberated Old City, where Jews were denied access from 1948 to 1967 while it was under Jordanian control”.
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/yomyerushalayim.html
http://xwalk.ca/jerusalem.html
1967 + 49 years = 2016 (Masonic NWO year and “The Day of The Lord”(Joel 2 and Amos 5:18-20) and 2017 becomes The Jubilee year.
By applying all of the above, the end of the age and His soon coming (Matthew 24) would be no later than end of Fall Feasts of 2017.
Blessings
Psalm 28
You are silly DJ,
There is no New World Order and Obama will still be U.S. president in 2016.
He isn’t gay and he is not a Mason. Satan is not at work in Masonic Loges, or Elks Clubs or American Legion clubs.
The Jews officially do not recognize or celebrate Jubilees any more, not for over 2000 years.
We already know Christ will be returning soon so 4 eclipses tell us no more than dozens of other signs. Using numerology to extract a date has always led to failure and will once again.
If the antichrist (Obama?) is supposed to be in power for 7 years of the who, then something is terribly wrong. He only controls one country and has not acted in any way like the antichrist is supposed to.
All you have is numbers, theories and false innuendo to make your story seem plausible but even a child can tell it is just a story with no proof whatsoever to back it up.
Are we really going to have to wait three more years before you give up on this nonsense? Geez, Nibiru will be here by then.
Just ask anyone. 🙂
that is really ignorant….o has a LONG history of gay activity and is married to a man.
people from his childhood and young adulthood have testified to all of it.
along with his drug history.
jews do recognize jubilees…..where do you get all you misinformation?
O has plenty of antichrist behavior…. you are just blind….I am not saying he is THE AC but he certainly has the behavior for it….he is totally lawless.
there is a 7 week of daniel…but the AC only evolves in the last 3.5 years.
you are in a lot of denial….
James,
Thank you for a reply, providing an opportunity for anyone following this tread to learn more.
This reply, which includes 2 videos, is really not for you.

Psalm 64
Hey, if Obama was all the things you say he is, Fox News would have been running stories from back in his pre-election days and he would never had made it into the white house. Hell, they got Clinton impeached for a single sex act. So why do you think this has never happened to Obama? Because unlike some gullible people here, they must check their facts carefully to avoid being sued for libel. Unfortunately, You Tube idiots and unscrupulous websites can make up any Ind. Of crap they want and get away with it. And people who are hungry for their crap will eat it up.
Personally I don’t like the taste of crap. I’m an engineer and I know I can’t build a computer with bogus components so I’m not going to build a prophecy theory based on bad information. God would not want me to be so foolish.
If the Second Coming was fall of 17, the 2 witnesses would be here now and the mark of the beast would be in place. The would be a single One-World Government and no currency, only the chip. There would be a new One-World religion in place, whatever that would be and WW3 should be raging.
I see none of this. You are replacing common events for God’s signs. You are therefore misunderstanding the bible. You can’t force current events to fit bible prophecy, no matter how anxious you are for the Second Coming.
So join all the other liars and false prophets and claim all the outrageous things you want to, but it will never make you right and you will have to be all the more repentant when you must explain your actions to your maker, eventually.
As for the jubilee, I looked it up on the official Jewish web site(s) for these things, from actual Rabbis, not YouTube rabbis. According to Jewish tradition, jubilees were only to be celebrated when all 12 tribes were together in one nation, so that will never happen before Christ returns. Show me an actual newspaper article from 1947 announcing or referring to the Jews celebrating a jubilee and I might believe you, but I couldn’t find one. The only places that mention them are bible prophecy sites who tout theories like the one you are pushing here. As I said, I don’t believe You Tube idiots with an agenda.
Time will prove me right. It always does. I need so little to be correct and you need so very much. As I said, time-wise you have already failed. You are just to blind and gullible to see it.
so you believe the mainstream media???
you are a media news idiot.
everything about the government is carefully filtered, they say what the gov tells them, or they go off the air
James,
You are so helpful, posting “Devils Advocate” comments and antagonistic dialogue on Marianne’s blog.
Thank you for your great work in this regard.
Are you paid for your efforts? You should be paid for each reply you make, rewarding your efforts.
So, you do believe the media, nightly news from Moscow, London, Iran and New York.
You believe the news produced by Moscow and Iran like you believe the news produced in the county that dropped two atomic bombs on non-combatants, killing women, children and babies.
The same country that built the highest monument in the world to the rebellion of man – 666, which is an Egyptian obelisk in Washington DC.
Oh! And there is a statue designed by a French Freemason that is a representation of Ashtar in NYC harbor too!
Open your eyes, James.
Now, pay close attention to this video.
James, do you want to learn how they manipulate videos and graphics? They are professionals. The following is another example of basic editing.
James, just think what they can do with sophisticated software and collaboration with skilled producers who love Lucifer.
FYI – there are people in the world, in this nation and within NYC and Washington DC (professionals and executives) who actually love and follow Lucifer more than some Christians love and follow Jesus. Seriously. It is true.
In the coming weeks/months (I thought it would have occurred by now) you will see what is written in Revelation 18.
James – are you a professional Jester? Jesters were licensed in the court of kings and queens. Your role here on HA is as a Jester.
Why do I ask? Well, it is soooo challenging to refrain from unloading on you.
You are a tester (Jester, by definition) for James chapter 3.
“And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell” (James 3:6, NKJV).

God bless you in your efforts, because I am growing stronger in the Word every time I read your comments/replies.

Psalm 37
DJ,
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. I’m familiar with Photoshop as I have PhotoShopped over 50,000 photos, some of them quite radically such as replacing a California sky with a sunset from Japan and putting the moon into photos of both day and night shots.
So are to trying to say that the World Trade Towers were never really attacked? That the planes and flames were CGI? Maybe they were stolen and the media tried to cover it up. I don’t get your point. But I can usually tell the difference between real footage and CGI. After taking nearly 100,000 photos in my lifetime, I can see the small nuances in real footage that are missed with computer graphics. Plus many events are shot by multiple cameras from multiple viewpoints that add to the authenticity of real events such as 9/11.
And yet so many people believe in idiotic YouTube videos that are clearly faked, so it will become easier and easier to fool the masses. But I don’t believe the “media” has an agenda, mainly because the media are controlled by various people, all with different agendas. Just watch the upcoming presidential primaries and you will see that not every news outlet has the same candidate in their pockets, so the truth in any story will eventually be revealed by one or more agencies, so it would not be possible for a few agencies to cover up anything for long or to make up news using Photoshop and to have the entire world believing it for very long. It occasionally worked in the old days for P.T.Barnum and other hoaxers, but in today’s world they would not get away with it for long.
They would have to get past people like me first. I am very critical of these types of videos and would be the last person to be fooled. In fact, I will still be refuting things long after people like you are still trying to convince me that the bogus crap is actually true.
So call me a jester if you like, I realize I can’t convince everyone of the truth, but time will take care of that for me.
Hello James,
What a coinsidence to read your reply/comment on the 9/11 event and to also watch the following clip within the same 24 hours.
This timing is akin to a Alfred Hitchcock movie, “Rear Window” and other thrilling Hitchcock films.
This new video clip may help you…but I doubt it. 🙂
However, the clip may give Marianne more to think about. She doesn’t like conspiracy theories regarding 9/11.
Be advised – there will be a nuke event in Metro NYC soon. How should we know? They are telling us in advance just like 9/11. They will blame ISIS for this nuke event just like they blamed Isalmic terrorists for 9/11.
I’ve learned its best for me to not give long replies to your questions. Please, just watch the video and leave a thoughtful comment.
Merry Christmas.
dj
I think about “conspiracy theories” but believe some aspects, and disbelief other aspects…some people try to convince me that muslims had NOTHING to do with 911, and others try to convince me that ISRAEL did it.
Oh Marianne,
Islam was a pasty on 9/11. They were involved but not the major contributor.
They use Islam – like those two young men in the Boston Marathon; Islamic and very dangerous young men! Boom! Boom!
You need to watch the above video, and maybe read/watch the work of Dr. Woods. I know you don’t have time. So watch this summary video.
As you near the end of this new posted video, please re-focus and listened carefully to the audio from about the 13:15 mark until the end.
BTW – a significant number of elite Israelites within Israel are really worldly and support The Beast. So, they also do work, supporting The Beast just like many in Saudi Arabia, London, Paris, Geneva, Berlin, NYC, Boston, da Vatican and Washington DC. It’s a conspiracy known as The Beast.
The next event in NYC will be a nuke and they will blame ISIS.

Psalm 37
explanation of damage can be correct or incorrect….
but the explanation itself does not necessarily mean they are deceiving….or that someone else did this…..
it means that they cannot explain what happened…
the need more proof as to WHO did it.
and not theorize
This theory is completely ludicrous. Directed energy weapons were not available at that time and even today only small, low-powered versions are in use by the Navy.
This video suggests that the Rockefellers wanted to demolish the buildings as if they were not worth selling. No sane businessman would do such a thing. And why destroy cars and other vehicles in the area? And where exactly were these devices located? The delivery systems would have be humongous and clearly visible to somebody with a camera/phone.
And if there were no planes, where did those flights go and all the people on them? And why did Rockefeller also need to destroy the Pentagon and what about the flight downed by passengers in Pennsylvania? They described the terrorists taking over the plane, not some energy beam directed at the plane.
And why did Bin Laden take credit for it, thus causing his own death?
There are far too many circumstanced regarding the attacks that can’t possibly be explained by theoretical energy beam weapons. Somebody with a vivid imagination took a few anomalies and built a whole movie plot around them. It seems to happen with every big event in history. Anyone with a YouTube account can put together a slick video and fool all sorts of people. They warn that the media is using Photoshop to create fake footage while all along they are doing exactly that to make their own videos, so if you can’t trust the news media who are highly accountable for what they publish, then how can you possibly trust some unknown YouTube contributor who can make up anything they want with no consequences?
Say, what ever happened to those Y2K YouTube experts?
Shabbat HaGadol (“Great Shabbat” שבת הגדול) is the Shabbat immediately before Passover March 30,2018.
Then 8+8 days after 8 days of Pesach, ON 4.24.2018 the 8th day of the 8th month Iyar, according to
internet program Stellarium (Location: Jerusalem,Israel at time: 9:30) the moon comes upon the star
Regulus in Leo constellation of Judah ushering the Moshiach. (TIME FOR RECEIVING THE FULLNESS OF GOD).
P.S. Jupiter in Libra
robert
interesting!
What do you mean by “ushering?” Are you saying the Second Coming will be on that date or that it is simply foretelling of it years in advance? If it so just a foretelling than maybe it has some meaning, otherwise it means nothing, Jesus will return on the for, not in the spring. The signs will come from the bible, not Stellarium. They will be obvious and visible to everyone, not just a few computer users.
I would agree to some extent. jesus said we would not know the day or hour, but only the father in heaven would know…
but it is interesting about stellarium…..that it may predict certain signs in the sky ahead of time.
how to accurately define the meaning of those signs takes time, wisdom, and hearing from God
Robert,
Watching this video presentation today (4th time over the past fee years), I see that the is an 8th Feast. This last Feast (8th) follows the Feast of Tabernacles, which is a feast lasting seven days.
“For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey; He has taken a bag of money with him, and will come home on the appointed day” (Proverbs 7:19-21, NKJV).
The “appointed day” is one of the Fall Feasts. The question is – which one?
It is interesting to know, historically, that the Hebrew calendar day starts at the evening of the previous day. Concerning what I have mentioned. . . 4.24.2018 on the internet is 9th of Iyar, but the 8th day of our calendar. Where I live, is exactly 12 hours different from Jerusalem, Israel. 9:30 PM is 9:30 AM in Jerusalem, interestingly.
Marianne,
The wise men understood the signs of His conception and birth.
With Stellarium, we can see the signs in the havens of Revelation 12 too.

Psalm 27
The problem with astronomical events and predictions is that there are hundreds of different events, maybe thousands, that people are attributing to signs of the Second Coming. But only one can be correct, so with 99.9% being liars, how do you pick the right one? And if 99% are guaranteed false, who is to say that the remaining one is not also wrong?
The only other thing you could claim would be that the event dates are not exact and could be years or decades in advance. In that case they are useless since we already know the Second Coming is near, so a heads-up is not necessary at this point.
So I consider these types of events an exercise in futility and not worth the time to study them. And so far I’m right since thousands of such events have long passed with nary a sign of Christ, so I see no value in looking for future signs.
When Jesus was with His disciples and the storm came. . .they became afraid. . .Jesus said where is your faith, why do you have such little faith/belief? . . .when I am with you?
Jesus is our faith/ our belief, because He is not only with us. . . He is in us!!!!! We have a perfect faith and belief. . .it’s Jesus. It’s Jesus in us. All the time. NO SIN PROBLEM NO FLESH PROBLEM if God Almighty has justified us and now resides in us. LIGHT AND DARKNESS CAN’T MIX .
More than 2000 years ago Jesus reconciled the world and us with a perfect GOD. Jesus’ perfect work is perfect, He requires nothing to be added to it or taken away. “I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.”
IT IS FINISHED NO MORE FIGHTING DARKNESS yourself,your flesh or anything else WE HAVE GOD and GOD HAS US.
“ God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever would believe would have everlasting Life”. . . All of God Himself in us .” How perfect, sooo much Love. . .God’s true love for us.
“ God so loved the world that He gave . . . All of Himself to us .” His very heart. . .Jesus to us. That is Everlasting Life.
All of us are the beloved of God (He loved us so much He created us, all of us so uniquely and beautifully, in His image). God’s holy purpose was always for the redemption of His own. . . us! How? by. . .Jesus in us.
That is His wonderful Plan…God’s very own plan that He repeats over and over again in the Bible.
Do you have Jesus. . .? Then you are OK..Everything is OK.
Jesus said John 14:23 “If anyone loves Me . . . My Father will love him, and We will make Our abode with him”. John 17:21 “. . .that they may all be one even as You Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be in US, THAT THE WORLD MAY BELIEVE . . .”
Always we need a heart of TESHUVAH (OPEN OUR EYES,OPEN OUR EARS, OPEN OUR HEARTS TO OUR GOD) so He may refresh us, restore us, to His true love and rejuvenation.
In Psalms 3 it says. . .Trust in the Lord and be good ( Jesus is our goodness and safe place, He hides us in His secret place, His very Heart, there we are secure, there we have trust )
Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness (oh, it is all about Jesus),
REMEMBER JESUS ALREADY FURROWED THE HARD GROUND, PLANTED THE SEEDS, FERTILIZED, AND NOW THE HARVEST IS READY FOR HARVEST ! even if it’s only your own heart!!!
That is what it means ushering in.
amen
For discussion. . .
Our Messiah Has already come. . .Rejoice. . .have all fullness of Him Now.
It was during the Fall, of the Lord’s Feasts Days that our Immanuel was born (God with us). And it was, nine months earlier, that Jesus was conceived (consider. . .both paternal and maternal births are important). He was conceived possibly during the winter solstice, around Chanukka. Possibly Jesus started His ministry during a winter solstice. I highly favor that it will be an 8th Day when Moshiach our Messiah will come again and most likely after a Pesach (Passover) and close to Pentecost. Did you know in olden time, a Rabbi would go to the top of a place to observe the beginning of the new moon to determine the exact change of season. Thus the phrase, ‘no man will know the day or the hour’. Can you see ?. . not until you see! Jesus said you can determine the signs and the seasons.
Robert,
The Jewish festivals were created by God for the Israelites to recognize their messiah who would fulfil each festival, in order. He was the Passover lamb and His ascension on the feast of firstfruits fulfilled that one as well. The next feast to be fulfilled is the Feast of Trumpets where the trumpets signal His Second Coming. He will take His throne on the Day of Atonement when the world will be at one with Him. There can be no other days than these. As for the year, that will be revealed when the 2 witnesses appear in Jerusalem 3-1/2 years before the Second Coming. A simple calculation will reveal the exact day of His return. We might even be able to figure the hour by when the 2 witnesses are killed and adding 3-1/2 days to that event.
Just because the father didn’t reveal the day and the hour of the Second Coming to John doesn’t mean those in the end days won’t be able to figure it out when the time draws near.
As for the change of seasons, you need to remember that 2000 years ago winter began a month earlier then it does today, around November 20th on our calendar. This is due to the procession of the equinoxes which delays the solstices by 20 minutes every year or a full day every 72 years. I have witnessed this effect within my lifetime.
So you can’t base the seasons back then on the way they are now. It just isn’t as simple as that.
So much for your calculations now. 😦
HERE IS MORE TO WET YOUR WHISTLE
The Eighth Day, which is one of the most meaningful yet least understood Holy Days by mankind, points to the ultimate culmination of God’s plan: the resurrection and judgment of the vast majority of all the human beings who have ever lived. The destruction of death. The casting away of sadness and mourning. It is a hope the world desperately needs and it will be fulfilled at the culmination of God’s plan of salvation for mankind.
The Bible is filled with symbolism, giving hints of God’s mind. The symbolism of the Ark of the Covenant (Exodus 25), the cherubim at God’s throne (Ezekiel 1), the creation itself (Romans:1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;). Some things about God are able to be understood easily, some things can only be spiritually discerned, and some things are not knowable at this time (Isaiah:55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.). Still, God does show us many wonderful and inspiring things about His plan of salvation for all of mankind.
The Eighth Day, which is specified as being kept at the end of the Feast of Tabernacles in Leviticus:23:33And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,, is the culmination of all the Holy Days. Following the description of the seven days of the Feast of Tabernacles, it says: “Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the Lord for seven days; on the first day there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest.” The Eighth Day is separate and distinct from the Feast of Tabernacles. God has placed symbolic meaning in counting up to the number eight. Why don’t we just go back to one after counting the seven days? Because that is not what God is portraying. He is not portraying a weekly cycle with the Feast of Tabernacles. Instead, He is showing what it means to finally arrive at the Eighth Day. What does that number mean? Looking through the rest of the Bible, we find various illustrations that help open up the meaning of that great day.
“And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever” (Revelation:22:1-5
[1] And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
[2] In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
[3] And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
[4] And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
[5] And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
God’s plan looks forward to the fulfillment of what the Eighth Day pictures, which is the eternal reign of God and Jesus Christ, the new heaven and the new earth, with all mankind having the opportunity to have been purified and set apart to live forever. God speed that day.
God’s Word assures us of the Second Coming and commands us to know the signs of the times, to remain watchful, and to always be ready for Christ’s return – whenever it may be.
GOD BLESS.
GOD’S OWN FESTIVALS THAT JESUS HAS ALREADY FULLFILLED
1. The Festival of Atonement Baptism by John the Baptist (ELIJAH) 2. The Festival of Trumpets Birth of Jesus / Herald by the Angels 3. The Festival of Tabernacles God with us . . .He walked among us 4. The Festival of Passover Jesus’ Death 5. The Festival of Unleavened Jesus’ Burial 6. The Festival of First Fruits Jesus’ Resurrection 7. The Festival of Pentecost Holy Spirit upon us
THEN. . . we anticipate. . .
8. The Festival of the King Jesus’ Return as ‘KING OF KINGS’ THE 8TH DAY
Over the centuries God’s Heart and Soul has been corrupted by to much Theology. God’s Love and Wonderful Plan of Redemption can maybe summed up in His Mystery of His 8TH DAY.
.
OUR MESSIAH HAS COME. . .GET TO KNOW HIM AND HIS GREAT LOVE FOR YOU… for us. . .
THEN IT WILL BE SO EASY TO HEAR HIS VOICE.
ITS A HEART THING . . . FOR ALL.
God Bless.
But if Jesus fulfilled the festivals on their actual days, then He must fulfill the last one on the specified day, not some other day that is simply associated by the number 8. What makes you think God has pulled a switch for this festival?
You pulled a similar switch with the feast of tabernacles, claiming that the entire time that Jesus spent on earth was the fulfillment of “walking among us.” And where were the trumpets that heralded His birth? We know seven trumps will herald His Second Coming, so that fits, and how does His baptism fulfill the Day of Atonement (judgement day)? Your schedule does not fit the fall festivals, at least not as God intended them.
Isn’t it strange how well your idea works with the spring festivals but requires a big stretch of the imagination to fit the rest?
Well, we will know by spring. If the two witnesses fail to show up in Jerusalem then your timetable must be wrong.
Guess we’ll see.
As concluded the eighth day is eternity. Immeasurable through time and space. I think this starts after the millennial reign which is the seventh day. But is the trbulation the next Feast of Trimpets? Arguably yes. A Smetah and jubilee year too. Regarding Jupiter the King Planet. As I posted earlier it has created many posts. I truly believe Shormaker Levi was symbolic of the Passion scourging of Christ and coinciding with the Oslo Peace Accord. Furthermore, I believe the Great Red Spot storm will reduce and vanish by the second coming and judgement day.
THE EIGHTH DAY!!!!!!! OH WHAT A DAY!!!!!
There will be a new heaven and a new earth. The throne of God will be with (in) His family, and He will rule with us (in)Jesus Christ for eternity. Isaiah:9:7 Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David (GOD’S FAMILY FROM ADAM TO US), and upon His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. GOD’s ZEAL IS. . .All that is BEAUTIFUL. PURE, PRECIOUS, HOLY, EXCELLENT, YOU, ALL THAT IS OF GOD.
ALL OF CREATION IS MOANING FOR THE REVELATION OF THE SONS OF GOD. (GOD’S FAMILY) RECEIVING GOD’S GIFT HERE ON CHRISTMAS . . .THE REVELATION OF GOD’S REDEMPTION.
IMMANUEL GOD IN US.
WE ARE NO MORE LOST. . .
WE HAVE A SAVIOR. Sing with angels lift up your voices. Join in the song of hope, OF LIFE, it is Jesus. This is Christmas.
His love will reign forever, His love will reign for ever, His love will reign for e e ver.
Open God’s gift given to you, THIS CHRISTMAS .
You’ll be surprised that when you unwrap your gift (your very heart)… you will find JESUS IN YOU. OH WHAT JOY.
LET GOD IN YOU Tell all the world. . .
We have a Savior, We have a Savior.
Merry Christmas!
WE HAVE A SAVIOR
amen!
If, as you say, Jesus was born on the Feast of Trumpets, or as many others do, the Feast of tabernacles, then why would you celebrate that birth on the day of the pagan god Mithras which hearks back to Tammuz the false Christ of Babylon, also known as Baal?
Are you a Baal worshipper? Read Jeremiah 10:2-6 to see what God says about Christmas.
Do you believe our savior will allow anyone to celebrate the birthday of Baal? As it turns out, we WILL be celebrating Jesus’ birthday during the millennium – on the Feast of tabernacles, the only feast that will continue after the Second Coming. But you can bet that it will not be moved to December 25th just to satisfy Christians who have been fooled for almost 2000 years. You will bend to the will of the Lord. He will not bend to the will of the people.
Amen, and Bah Humbug to Christmas!
jim
you are losing it.
christians do not worship Baal or mithras.
many or most christians do not know the actual birth date of Christ. Some do.
no matter what its origin, pagan or not, dec 25 th was set aside on the calendar for MOST people to have a day off so they COULD celebrate the birth of Jesus.
if you look around the yards of christians and chuches during this season, you will see nativity scenes, not shrines to Baal
while it is unfortunate that there is a connection with the date to the pagan date, christians do not celebrate paganism but the spirit of christ and the calendar seems set in stone.
christians do not get a day off on the feast of tabernacles….so christmas, which means christ mass, is NOW dedicated and HAS been for 2000 years to a BETTER purpose.
I wish I could change the date on the calendar to a september or october date, since tabernacles “floats” from year to year between these months, but I cannot.
so we can either choose to celebrate the birth of christ or not…..we SHOULD be celebrating it 365 days a year anyhow.
Here is a bit of what God thinks about Christmas:
Jeremiah 10:
10:1 Hear ye the word which Jehovah speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
10:2 thus saith Jehovah, Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them.
10:3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
10:5 They are like a palm-tree, of turned work, and speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.
10:6 There is none like unto thee, O Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
10:7 Who should not fear thee, O King of the nations? for to thee doth it appertain; forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like unto thee.
10:8 But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.
.
So you can see that even in Jeremiah’s day the Tammuz/Baal birthday celebration was being celebrated from the Mystery Babylon religion which is Baal worship. God makes it clear that the traditions of men are unacceptable to Him. Anyone who sets uo a Christmas tree is emulating Baal worship and is dishonoring God. As for celebrating the birthday of Jesus, it was never done until the church decided to take Saturnalia and make it a Christian holiday to appease the pagan romans of that time. It was not done to truly celebrate the birth of Jesus for if it was they would never do it on the same day as the birthday of Baal.
The same is true for Sunday worship – also forced on the church by the Roman empire, not by a conscience decision by the church fathers. People today now believe God wasn’t serious about the 4th commandment and that God is happy to let us pick whatever day we want to sanctify as His holy day. When did God put man in charge of His commandments? So we can make some exceptions to say, adultery? Maybe if the girl is really pretty then God figures it would be OK? Or maybe we can kill anyone if we feel that they really deserve it? I mean, where does it all end? One look at the modern church(es) and you can see why they must be destroyed before Christ returns. They have gotten completely out of hand and have strayed so far from the church at Philadelphia that they are barely recognizable as true Christianity.
I’m sorry, but you must worship God’s way, not your own way. Just because something has been done for a very long time doesn’t make it right. Just check your bible history to see what God had done to His own people when they disobeyed His laws. Do you really believe that God has changed His ways and no longer cares how His people worship Him? Fat Chance!
No, neither Christmas nor Sunday worship will be allowed in the millenium reign of Christ. So the question you must ask yourself is, “does God figure it will be OK just until the Second Coming, and then we must stop?” I think not. God does not condone intentional sin. He doesn’t even condone unintentional sin, but Christians should know better.
Hey, I don’t like giving up Christmas any more than anybody else. But the problem is, I DO know better. I know what God expects of me, so I obey His wishes.
But go ahead and defy Him if it makes you feel better.
For now…
jim
stop being a pharisee
christians do not celebrate tammuz or baal
they celebrate the birth of jesus
so i guess if I was born on dec 25th, I would not be allowed to celebrate my birthday since it is the same day as tammuz and baal?
According to the bible we are not supposed to celebrate our birthdays. The only birthdays in the bible were for pagan leaders. The Jews never celebrated their birthdays, only the deaths of their leaders and prophets.
The first century Jewish historian Josephus noted that Jewish families did not celebrate birthdays:
Nay, indeed, the law does not permit us to make festivals at the birth of our children, and thereby afford occasion of drinking to excess (Josephus. Translated by W. Whiston. Against Apion, Book II, Chapter 26. Extracted from Josephus Complete Works, Kregel Publications, Grand Rapids (MI), 14th printing, 1977, p. 632).
In their essay titled “Birthdays, Jewishly,” Lisa Farber Miller and Sandra Widener point out that the Encyclopedia Judaica is very blunt on this topic:
“The celebration of birthdays is unknown in traditional Jewish ritual.”
If you study the topic you will discover that birthdays, just like Christmas, Easter and Sunday worship are all taken from pagan religions and practices.
So my answer is that regardless of the date, you should not celebrate your own birth, only how you have served God in your lifetime.
You don’t get to convert pagan holidays or make up your own regardless of your intentions behind them.
Jesus doesn’t want you to celebrate His birthday. He wants you to celebrate His death on Passover and His resurrection and ascension using the festivals God provided for that purpose. Easter (Ishtar) is pagan in origin, so to celebrate it rather than the festivals provided by God is simply heresy.
Following man-made traditions rather than the word of God is dangerous and will not buy you any points with the almighty, so you do so at great peril.
So enjoy it while you can, it won’t last much longer.
jim
your sources are ignorant of judaism.
Jewish Hebrew culture (understanding) puts considerable emphasis on . . . Both paternal and maternal births.
Since Jesus conception was most important and quite highly treasured and valued by God Himself. . . Jesus’ paternal birth, the date of the impregnation of Mary by the Holy Spirit, (an event to the highest power and degree according to all of God’s pre- ordained events ) plays the most extra ordinary role TO THE complete understanding of the birth and celebration of Jesus’ entry here on earth.
The date of Jesus maternal birth is most rationally in September and the first day of Rosh Hashanah,the Day of Trumpets,the start of the Jewish New Year.
Now for some good medical facts : TAKING APPROXIMATE THE DATE OF THE MATERNAL BIRTH OF JESUS AND COUNTING BACKWARDS THE 266 DAYS OF NORMAL HUMAN GESTATION . . . ASTONISHINGLY. . . you arrive nine months earlier which places Jesus’ conception during the mid winter solstice of around the time of CHANUKKA (RIGHTEOUSNESS).
This fact makes it wonderfully beautiful to know God’s Understanding and Foreknowledge . . .knowing we would celebrate Jesus’ birthday at Christmas. God’s wonderful plan always trumps any plan man can contrive!
Everything that occurred was the Plan of God. The Time of Jesus’ Arrival should be Spectacular and should make everything else of man be subservient and must be bowed down.
Even the TIME OF OUR MESSIAH, HAD TO OCCUR ON Rosh Hashanah, the Day of Trumpets which God pre-ordained as the time to celebrate the enthronement of Messiah as King of Kings.
So also “Jupiter”, recognized by Jews and Gentiles alike as the ‘Planet of the Messiah:’ had to be seen in the heavenlies and be standing still, directly over Bethlehem, to alert the Magi to His whereabouts “TheMessiah!”.
Another triumphant herald of the arrival of “Israel’s King”.
Interesting tidbit . . .according to (Luke 1:3)
Luke states Jesus was about 30 (30 years later, after His paternal conception) at the time of the start of His Ministry.
This too can be calculated to be during the winter solstice and CHANUKKA!
Why is the dating of the birth,baptism, and death of Jesus critical?
For a world of unbelief, the length of Jesus’ ministry to Israel was one very important marker to his credibility as the Messiah.
About five centuries before the advent of Jesus Christ, Daniel prophetically wrote that the length of the Messiah’s ministry to Israel would be 70 weeks.
(Daniel 9:23,24)
The number of weeks between the commencement of Jesus’ ministry to Israel ,upon his baptism( look and see it was during the winter solstice CHANUKKAH), until his crucifixion and resurrection, during the last week of April, in the spring. . . WAS 70 weeks.
Luke’s dating of the baptism of Jesus during the mid winter solstice also adds a mark to be considered for the second advent of Christ in the future.
interesting stuff
Robert,
Yes, Hebrew understanding of planets, constellations and stars told the wise men of the Lord’s conception and birth.
“Do not learn the way of the Gentiles; Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven, for the Gentiles are dismayed at them” (Jeremiah 10:2,NKJV).
Jupiter = King Planet, representing God
Venus = Bright Morning Star, representing Jesus (Rev. 22:16)
Regulus = King Star
Saturn = Satan
Virgo = Virgin
Leo = Tribe of Judah
Interesting to read Job and Amos, finding that God gave names to stars and constellations that astrologers “use and abuse” today.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job+9%3A9%2C+Amos+5%3A8&version=NKJV
Robert – the same sign in the Heaven that told the wise men of His conception (Feast of Tabernacles) and His birth 9 months later (17th day of Tamuz/Tammuz) gives another sign – the sign of His soon return.
The sign in the heaven of His soon return occurred on Feast of Trumpets, 2011 (September 29, 2011).
The sign of His soon return was within Virgo, clothed in the sun and the moon at her feet. Saturn was next to Venus within Virgo on the same date. This was the sign in the heaven as we read in Rev. 12:1-5.

DJ,
In the fall of 4BC near the time of Jesus’ birth Saturn was in Taurus and Jupiter was in Pisces – far from each other and Venus was near its brightest stage but it was an evening star, not morning.
On Sep 29, 2011 Venus was also an evening star but it was on the opposite side of the sun and visible close to it and quite dim and difficult to view, setting shortly after the sun. In other words it is not a universal sign in the heavens that everyone would notice. Only astronomers (and astrologers) would know about them. Plus they do not tell us when the Second Coming will be. Its already been over three years since 2011 and it may be 10 or 15 more years before Christ returns. So I don’t see any point in showing a sign that might be off as much as 20 years. That type of inaccuracy would have really messed up the magi. Besides, no one knows what the astrological signs were that the magi used to predict the birth of Christ. There is nothing in the Old Testament that uses the heavens to predict it. For 2000 years astronomers have been looking back to the dates they believed Christ was born for some sort of signs, mostly conjunctions of planets, to find the answers but nothing definitive haas ever been found. Everything is speculation. For all we know God sent a messenger to the magi.
I think if you were right about Sep 2011 something BIG would have happened by now. But as far as I’m concerned it tells us nothing. The creation of the state of Israel was a sign. This was nothing new nor necessary and ultimately poor timing.
James,
Happy New Year.

Psalm 25
Readying for the New Year. . .
Here is a New Year tibit.
FIRST FRUITS/SFIRAT HAOMER , The Early First Fruits (Lev 23:9-14), begins the day after Passover in most circles today. A period of seven weeks is observed in which each day is counted off for 49 days ending on the fiftieth day known as Shavuot /Pentecost (Pentacost-means 50 a Jubilee).
It is the number of days from the barley harvest to the wheat harvest. Since it is often overshadowed by the prominence of Passover, the Feast of First Fruits is often overlooked in the New Testament, yet it is mentioned a number of times in the New Covenant.
Paul, in his first letter to the Messianic Believers in Corinth, shows a vital link between First Fruits and the ministry of Yeshua:
Since Jesus has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died. For since death came through a man, also the resurrection of the dead has come through a man. For just as in connection with Adam all die, so in connection with the Messiah all will be made alive.
But each in his own order; the Messiah is the firstfruits; then those who belong to the Messiah, at the time of His first coming;
then the culmination(His second coming), when he hands over the Kingdom of God to the father after having put an end to every rulership, yes to every authority and power.
FROM THE APOSTLE PETER (Shimon)
“Repent, therefore, (Teshuvah) and be converted (put everything else aside), Draw near to JESUS, (Teshuvah) turn to Jesus that your sins may be blotted out (everything that keeps you from the fullness of God), so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” (Acts 3:19) Turn to the One who answers and looks after you.
Again, this is a picture of the time of Teshuvah just prior to Yom Kippur, for it was on the day of Yom Kippur that sins were blotted out. But under the New Covenant, we do not have to wait for Yom Kippur…
TODAY is the day of salvation. Cease striving and know I am God. I am your Lord, your Savior, your Redeemer, your mighty One of Jacob. Your healer, your deliverer. Your relief, your remedy, your cure.
Be willing ‘ that He may heal you ‘.
He made us…We belong to Him…”You are MINE” !!!! Says the Lord.
We should always walk in an attitude of Teshuvah. The Apostle John wrote in his first epistle: “If we TURN TO GOD, He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1st John 1:9)
Rejoice in the Lord always… Again I say Rejoice… Let your forebearing Spirit be known to all men……. THE LORD IS NEAR…be anxious for nothing but in everything with prayer (need and dependence on Him) and supplication (lift your eyes, your hands, your hearts) with thanksgiving let your requests be known to God and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and mind and be with you in Christ Jesus, Who Loves you.
HAPPY NEW YEAR. . .God’s People
amen
Hey guys,
I hate to break your bubbles again, but the New Years Day we currently celebrate is pagan (Roman) and not according to God’s instructions. Even the modern Jews don use the proper New Year which was to begin in March. Interestingly, at the beginning of the Gregorian calendar which we use today, the New Year began in March and was slowly changed to January 1st. There was a time, during the American revolution when England and France were using different calendars and for a few months per year were actually a year apart in their calendars.
Incidentally, my birthday is January 1st, so when I came to realize there true word of God I had to give up both celebrations on the same day. Too bad but what can I do? Sure I could make all sorts of excuses but none would fly with God, so why bother?
In the millennium, the Roman new Year and even the Roman day, starting at midnight will revert to God’s original plan. You can count on that. Same for Sunday worship and Christmas and Easter. And dozens of other false traditions.
So enjoy the ball drop for a few more years, then forget about it. Or maybe we can just move it to March…
Who knows?
calendars are confusing aren’t they?
happy birthday!
there are 2 jewish calendars…religious, which starts in march, and then civil, which starts in september…
why are there two of them? beats me!
god goes by the religious calendar
Marianne,
This could be a helpful page topic.
Four Jewish New Years
“You might be surprised to discover that by the time the Mishnah was compiled (200 AD), the Jewish sages had identified four separate new-year dates for every lunar-solar year (the modern Jewish calendar was ratified by Hillel the Elder in the 3rd century AD):
1) Nisan 1 (i.e., Rosh Chodashim) marks the start of the month of the Exodus from Egypt and the beginning of Jewish national history. As such, it represents the start of the Biblical year for counting the festivals (Exod. 12:2). Note that the month of Nisan is also called Aviv since it marks the official start of spring.
2) Elul 1 marks the start of the year from the point of view of tithing cattle for Temple sacrifices. Since the Second Temple was destroyed in 70 AD, the rabbis decreed that this date should mark the time of Selichot, or preparation for repentance before Rosh Hashanah. Elul 1 marks the start of the last month of summer.
3) Tishri 1 was originally associated with the agricultural “Feast of Ingathering” at the “end of the year” (Exod. 23:16, 34:22), though after the destruction of the Second Temple, the sages decided it would mark the start of the civil year in the fall. Tishri 1 was therefore called Rosh Hashanah (“the head of the year”) which begins a ten-day “trial” of humanity climaxing on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur).
4) Shevat 15 (i.e., Tu B’Shevat) originally marked the date for calculating the tithes of the harvest (ma’aserot) that farmers would pledge to the priests of Israel. This was the start of the year from the point of view of tithing of fruit trees. Today Tu B’Shevat represents a national Arbor Day in Israel, with tree planting ceremonies in Israel. Unlike the other three “new years,” Tu B’Shevat begins in the middle of the month, during a full moon in winter” (John Parsons, Hebrew4Christians).

Happy New Year!
surprising how people want to complicate things….
if we just stick to God’s religious calendar, we would all be on the same page, and actually know what time it really is
Signs in the Heavens, What about Jupiter and Venus that passed each others paths that was out by only 2 degrees that is also called the star of Bethlehem that happened more than 2000 years ago. This would also be the time of the birth of Jesus. Furthermore it could be seen by everyone by just looking at the night sky. This happened June the 30th 2015 and now in September 2015 we will also have the fourth blood moon. In general just look whats going on around the world, with earthquakes and volcano’s erupting, severe weather conditions and wars being fought, mostly religious wars. How openly God is apposed and our moral values that has gone down the drain all over the world.
Wynand,
June 30th is 90 days before the Blood Moon over Jerusalem on Sept. 28, 2015 ~ Feast of Tabernacles.
There is a sign in the heaven; “The Judge is at the door.”

Psalm 27
Hey, this post is now over 5 years old, so what have we actually learned from the cloud belts of Jupiter here? Nothing biblical has happened, just more of the same. I still thing reading clods on Jupiter is about like reading tea leaves, so can we call this article a complete waste of time or are we all supposed to buy telescopes so we can check on them from time to time?
So what’s the latest news on this here topic?
Is it dead or alive?
jim
your scorn is getting on my nerves.
a post on something you should enjoy, and you complain.
I have almost 900 posts
if no one has come here lately, it is because no one has initiated a discussion lately
like the article said, we are instructed to watch for signs, and that is what this post is about
Do what do you think it means that July 4 we will have a probe closing in on Jupiter. The earth meets the planet called the messiah.
Definitely significant if you ask me.
July 4, 1776 — 17th of Tamuz, 5536. Now, look up the significance of the 17th day of Tamuz. The pagan Freemasons picked that date for a reason.

interesting,
April 19, 1775 – September 3, 1783 dates of revolutionary war
battles
http://www.theamericanrevolution.org/battles.aspx
more comprehensive timeline
http://www.theamericanrevolution.org/TimelineDetail.aspx
so the battles began almost a year before the declaration of independence…..april 1775….
problems with England started a decade before that 1765, sugar act
http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/features/americanrevolution/timeline.html
so why did they wait until a year later after battles begun, to issue the declaration.? at the time, they thought of it as something to be celebrated, not a time of mourning
they finally got tired of the battles and issued a statement?
I do not see how this coincidental date had anything to do with tammuz
I have a theory about Jupiter that some people might think strange. I believe that Heaven is a planet, because the bible describes a city, streets, plants, animals, and of course, the temple, and God’s Throne. These things aren’t just floating in space somewhere; God is a God of order, so a planet fits the order of order. Heaven is also a realm, beyond our current comprehension, and a place where human beings could not survive in their natural bodies, without God’s supernatural intervention.
These facts; the way that Heaven is described in the bible, what we know about Jupiter, and what we know about God, brought me to an interesting conclusion. God has always wanted to be near His people, so it makes sense to me that Heaven is a planet in our solar system. When I think of some of the names that Jupiter has been called throughout history, it is a reasonable possibility that it is the planet called Heaven in the bible.

Have you been seeing what is happening with Jupiter this year? It is nestled in the belly area of the constellation Virgo or the Virgin. It will remain there until September 23, 2017. This has never happened before in the history of the stars. It seems to be the fulfilment of Rev. 12:1-2.

Rev. Andy,
You’re seeing what’s coming. Jeremiah 10:2 tell us not to be dismayed at the signs in the heavens.
The wise men understood how to read these signs and traveled to Jerusalem asking, “Where is He born King of the Jews? We’ve come to worship Him.”
They understood how to read the signs in the heavens (Genesis 1:4).
Interpretations of the heavenly signs are required just like a dream and this isn’t astrology.
Venus represents Jesus, bright morning star of Rev. 22
Mercury represents an angelic messenger
Mars represents war
Jupiter is the King Planet, representing God.
Saturn represents Satan, The Beast, The Dragon.
Leo represents Judah
Virgo is the virgin and represents Ruth, Mary and/or The Bride of Christ.
Regulus is a bright star in Leo and represents the King Star.
When a planet gets very, very close with another planet (conjunction) or a planet very, very close with a star, then there may be a sign to interpret, like a dream. The wise men came to worship Him when Jupiter was within Leo in conjunction.
The same signs are available to observe and interpret today as when the wise men observed them at the time of His birth. Now, He’s coming back.
A key to knowing when there is sign in the heavens is to observe Virgo. Does the sun cloth her? Is the moon is at the feet of Virgo (Rev. 12:1).
When this argument of sun and moon occurs – then we observe planet locations in Virgo (virgin), in Leo (Judah) and in other constellations.
Yes, Jupiter is moving into Virgo.
On this date of September 23, 2017 – Jupiter (representing of God) is with Virgo (The Bride), while Venus (representing Jesus) is in Leo (King of Judah).
On this date these planets and one very meaningful star are lined up. They are in alignment, representing order.
Regulus (King Star) at the top of this alignment. Next is Venus (representing Jesus), followed by Mars (representing war), Mercury (representing angelic messenger) and Jupiter (King Planet) is at base of this alignment next to Virgo (Virgin).
Where is Saturn? On this same date?
It is also very important to know Hebrew Feast days, holy days and significant dates in Hebrew history to interpret signs in the heavens.
So, with a brief introduction – this sign in the heavens occurs on September 23, 2017.
This is a very unique Hebrew day. It is Shabbat Shuvah.
“Shabbat Shuvah (“Sabbath [of] Return” שבת שובה) refers to the Shabbat that occurs during the Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Only one Shabbat can occur between these dates.
This Shabbat is named after the first word Hosea 14 and literally means “Return!” Please read all of Hosea 14.

On this same date, Saturn (representing Satan/Dragon) is in Ophiuchus.
Ophiuchus is depicted as a man grasping a serpent. This seem appropriate, someone holding a serpent. Saturn (Satan/Dragon) is within Ophiuchus on September 23, 2017 (Shabbat Shuvah).
“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the abyss and a great chain in his hand. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for 1,000 years…After that, he must be released for a short time” (Rev. 20:1-3, HCSB).
This sign in the heavens on September 23, 2017 (Hebrew year 5778), which is 70 years after 1947.
A generation of 70 years, per Psalm 90:10, Jeremiah 29:10 and by example the lifespan of David. This seems to fit the Fig Tree Parable (1947 to 2017).
The Jubilee count also points to 2017 (Hebrew year 5778).
Blessings
2 Tim. 2:10-13.
i agree with you. I believe God, freely wants us to know His time and dates . . . and God wants us to know His heart, because He wants us to know Him..
I HAD A DREAM, and in the dream, I was IN A LONG DISCUSSION with whom I can’t remember, but the person felt like somebody I knew.
We were talking about the end times. The person said there was no end time. I said that, that was disappointing , because everyone was looking for the end time to arrive.
The person with whom I was talking with said. to know about the future you have to study God’s heart. He said it is easy to do SO . . . if you ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, HONOR HIM, VALUE HIM, AND LIVE ACCORDING TO HIS HEART AND SOUL. IF YOU DO SO, YOU WILL ENDURE FOREVER !
You see it is all about God, the person said, and if you have God EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS AT THE BEGINNING !
Ecclesiastes 3 : NLT 11 ” Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart.”
I said i have always struggled to love God with all of my heart, all of my soul, and all of my mind, and all of my might. The person replied by saying that it was easy to do so . . . if you have God. . . because then you have ALL OF HIS HEART, ALL OF HIS SOUL, ALL OF HIS MIND, ALL OF HIS MIGHT, ALL OF HIM . . . YOU HAVE ETERNITY which is the fulfillment of all things.!
IF YOU HAVE HIM YOU ARE ALREADY HOME !
I STARTED A PRAYER WARRIOR GROUP TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BETTER A LOT OF THE CONFUSING STUFF
. . . WE NEED CLARITY BECAUSE OF ALL THE FAKE NEWS OUT THERE.
I also have my own countdown clock to ETERNITY.
