"Lag B' Omer: THE WEDDING DAY: 5-9 to 10, 2012"

Dear Doves,
Before the great Second Temple at Jerusalem was destroyed by Titus and the Romans in 70 AD, the period of the Counting of the Omer was one of joy, real rejoicing. Sheaves of barley, called omers, were brought to the Temple each day as sacrifices. Passover was like the betrothal and Shavuot (Pentecost) the wedding day, with the honoring of the long before events at Mt. Sinai, the wedding of YHVH and the House of Israel people of the 12 tribes. But after the destruction of the great Second Temple, much changed. The sephira, the 7 weeks of the counting of the Omer, became a period of semi-mourning. Restrictions were strictly for 7 weeks. WEDDINGS were PROHIBITED. No weddings, or music, or banquets, no haircuts, or singing were allowed. Some reasons for these changes are described in the article at http://www.jewishfederations.org/page.aspx?id=879&print=1 .
This year from sunset Iyar 17 to 18 on 5-9 to 10, the mourning practices are suspended on Lag B' Omer. This will be day 33 of the Counting of the Omer until day 50 of Shavuot (Pentecost) of 5-26 to 27. Many weddings for Jews will occur on day 33 in Israel and elsewhere, beginning at sunset on Iyar 17. Lag B' Omer also will be a day for picnics, outings, bonfires, parades, singing and dancing, music, children's games like bows and arrows. It is THE DAY which is the ONE JOYOUS of the 49. It is THE WEDDING DAY. If The Blessed Hope, The Messiah's Wedding Day following the Ancient Jewish Wedding Model, will occur during the month of Iyar in 2012, might Iyar 18 be THE DAY? It is the only day of 49, for mourning, for prohibitions, to be ended and transformed into joyous activities. Symbolically, day 33 Omer Count, will not apply to Ascension Day, on Iyar 25, on 5-17. Will the kosher Jewish rabbi follow Jewish traditions and arrive on Lag B' Omer to spirit away His bride? We shall see. He will come on a day few expect His arrival. How many people know anything about Lag B' Omer? Very few. Fasting before the wedding and mourning transformed into ineffable joy with wedding, feasting, and wine? Remember The Master's warnings about drunkenness, the cares of life, not watching, and sleepiness in 3 of the 4 Gospels? We shall know soon. Behold the bridegroom cometh. Come quickly, Lord...

With Love and Shalom,
Jean

Let it be Lord, let it be!!!

Oh this is wonderful! Thank you for sharing this Robert. All we can do is to continue to fast, pray, and wait on the Lord.

Hi Robert B., thank you for posting this article. It really got my attention because if you look at my original, "new member" post from November I talked about an experience I had that involved the #33. It was a few years ago that it happened but it's always made me wonder what it meant. I will re-post below what I wrote in November. Could this day be the beginning of war and the rapture of the church?

Part of my original, "new member" post below. It was written in November.

The second thing happened a little over a year ago when I was sleeping and I woke up to the loudest music I ever heard. The music was 4 simple verses and I'm sure you are familiar with "Here comes the Bride." I didn't here the words, just the music and it was as loud as can be.

The third thing that happened was about a year ago. I woke up because my bird was screaming so I went to cover him up. Anyway, I was so tired but as I walked back to the bedroom I realized I was repeating the words, "IDF Set Off Code 33." When I realized what was happening I immediately wrote it down because I thought it might mean something. It was strange and incredible to be repeating something in your head that you know isn't coming from you!

Yes, Lisaleenie! May it be so!! We don't know when but we know it has to be soon because we are definitely in the season. God Bless You! *:)

maybe may 10 2012 but no one knows day or hour amen

Hi Live for Him! I just want to make sure everyone understands that it was not my bird that said, "IDF set off code 33." I was repeating the words over and over in my head. I remember I googled everyday for over a year to find out what it meant. There's been some interesting posts with this # as well. For instance, Jesusbabigirl above. Thank you for your reply Live 4 Him! I hope we are going up soon! Maybe during the 33 Omer count or maybe there will be a 7 day warning?? Either way, we are ready to go up up up! *:)

LOL!! Live for Him!!! My husband laughed so hard when I told him you thought our bird said this. I think you made his night. God Bless You! If you knew our bird you would understand. *:)
