Does the Sabbath (Shemita) year of Leviticus 25:1-7 begin in the Spring (Nisan) or in the Fall (Tishri)? Here is a website with good information addressing this question. When Does The Sabbath Year Begin? | TorahTimes

Here is an excellent short article by Jonathan Brentner. Holding Back Lawlessness: Is God Restraining The World From 'Sudden Destruction'? - Harbinger's Daily

Today (9-13-2024) should be the Day of Atonement as once again the Jewish calendar is off by one month (IMO). The same thing will occur again in 2027, 2030, and 2035. There is no good reason to not have Nisan 1 in March (the first new moon of spring) instead of April (the second new moon of spring) for these years. The calculated Metonic calendar is not a very good reason. Likewise, the first new moon of fall should introduce Tishri 1 for these years, instead of the second one. In ancient Israel, only the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies in the Temple and only on the Day of Atonement, or they would be killed.

Isn't it interesting that the Hebrew word 'חָמָס' transliteration is Hamas and is translated as 'violence' in English? The KJV translates Strong's H2555 (Hamas) in the following manner: violence (39x), violent (7x), cruelty (4x), wrong (3x), false (2x), cruel (1x), damage (1x), injustice (1x), oppressor (with H376) (1x), unrighteous (1x). Anytime you see the word violence in the Old Testament, it is the English translation for the word (transliteration) Hamas. It is first mentioned in Genesis 6:11-13: "The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth." "But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be" (Matthew 24:37).

Holy Week is all messed up this year (2024). Palm Sunday (actually it should be Nisan 10, the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem as the king of the Jews, which can come any day of the week) is on March 24. Passover (Nisan 15 for the Jews) starts on April 23. Resurrection Sunday (Easter) is on March 31. What??? Here is how it should be. Since the new moon conjunction was on March 10 in 2024, the first day of Nisan should be on March 11. That means Nisan 10 should be on March 20 (Wednesday). Nisan 14 (the biblical date for Passover) should be on March 24. Resurrection Sunday (is the date for the Feast of First Fruits) is the only correct date this year, March 31.

Here is a website by Arthur Blessitt, the Guinness Book of World Records holder for ‘the world’s longest walk.' He says he has walked with a 12-foot cross around the world. "By the grace and mercy of God, I have carried the cross in 324 nations, island groups, and territories." As of 2021 (from 1968-2021), he has walked 43,340 miles or 69,748 km. On his official website (Miles Jesus and Mary Walked (blessitt.com), they have calculated the miles that Jesus and Mary walked during their lifetimes. It's amazing. We have it made these days compared to what they endured (in more ways than one). I suppose that includes Arthur Blessitt as well.

The year 2020 was a year of hell (2020 divided by 666 = 3.0330). Joe Biden was elected as the 46th President of the U.S. with Kamala Harris as his vice-president. WHO declared the Covid-19 virus a pandemic as it raged throughout the world. The first of the COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out the same year, which may kill more people than COVID-19 before it's all over. The lockdowns of 2020 caused a global recession as well as a test run for global authoritarian rules and regulations. The Black Lives Matter riots over George Floyd and others were called "mostly peaceful" demonstrations. Regarding the 30330 man, Joe Biden (see The 30330 Man :: By Randy Nettles - Rapture Ready)(https://www.raptureready.com/2020/07/25/the-30330-man-by-randy-nettles/), his approval rating is now at 33%. I expect it will drop to 30.33% soon. I don't know why it's not at 3.033%. I guess there are a lot of evil people out there who support his (and his superiors') agenda. Without help from above, this country will not make it to the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Come, Lord Jesus, quickly if not sooner!

We need to counteract the anti-Semitic slogan that Hamas and their followers use, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," with a pro-Israel slogan such as "From the river to the sea, God promised the land to Israel and only to thee (Genesis 13:14-17)." What say you? Any others?

The Rapture is coming soon. How soon? Nobody knows. If it happens this year in 2023, here are some high-watch days. The first two are figured from the Feast of Firstfruits (resurrection day) which occurs on the first Sunday after Nisan 15 (according to the Bible). 1) Ascension Day is mentioned in Acts 1. "Until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, 3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God" (Acts 1:2-3). So, the apostles first saw him on resurrection day and they saw him for forty days afterward. The first day they didn't see him was the day after the ascension. This year Ascension Day occurs on Thursday, May 18, 2023 (Iyyar 28). 2) Shavuot/Pentecost occurs on the 50th day from Firstfruits (Firstfruits is the first day), so this year Pentecost will take place on Sunday, May 28, 2023 (Sivan 9). The Jews reckon Shavuot a little differently, as they figure the Sabbath mentioned in Leviticus 23:15 is referring to Nisan 15 and not the Saturday Sabbath after Nisan 15. They also celebrate it for two days. 3) Many people like Tisha B'Av, the 9th day of Av, for the Rapture. This year it occurs on Wednesday, July 26, 2023. 4) The Feast of Trumpets occurs on Tishri 1 on the Jewish calendar. This year it occurs on Friday, September 15, 2023. 5) Any day between today and the end of 2023.

Here is an update on the New Moon sighting in Jerusalem for the 1st day of Tishri (Trumpets). The New Moon was sighted this evening in Israel, Tuesday, September 27th, 2022! The Fall Feast Season has begun! That means Yom Teruah/The Feast of Trumpets/First Day of the 7th Month is upon us! Therefore the first day of the Seventh Month starts Tonight (Tuesday) September 27th, evening at sundown, and goes through (Wednesday) September 28th. Sighted By: Chris Guenther, Tchiya Jenkins, followed by three others. Date Sighted: Tuesday, September 27th, 2022! Here are the Dates on which we will be celebrating Yah's Appointed Feasts (Leviticus 23) this year, 2022. Yom Teruah/The Feast of Trumpets/First Day of the 7th Month - Wednesday, September 28th (Starting the night before on the 27th, New Moon Sited in Israel, and worldwide, on Tuesday, Sept 27th). Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement/10th Day of the 7th Month - Friday, October 7th (Starting the night before on October 6th). Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles/15th Day of the 7th Month - Wednesday, October 12th (Starting the night before on October 11th). Shabbat During Feast - Saturday, October 15th (Starting the night before on October 14th). Last Great Day - Wednesday, October 19th (Starting the night before on October 18th) A few things to remember... Every 7 years, Yah has ordained a year of release called the Shemitah (Leviticus 25). This is it! The Shemitah! And, as it says in Deuteronomy 31, We'll be reading the whole Torah at the Feast! Deut 31:9-13 So Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel. And Moses commanded them, saying: “At the end of every seven years, at the appointed time in the year of release, at the Feast of Tabernacles, when all Israel comes to appear before YHWH your Elohim in the place which He chooses, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing. Gather the people together, men and women and little ones, and the stranger who is within your gates, that they may hear and that they may learn to fear YHWH your Elohim and carefully observe all the words of this law, and that their children, who have not known it, may hear and learn to fear YHWH your Elohim as long as you live in the land which you cross the Jordan to possess.” Randy
