Here’s another one from yesterday … this is 24 minutes long … I sure hope we are in the season and this is thee year. It sure is getting dark down here as we wait and wait and wait … and we don’t feel at home in this world any more. - Fair Use - Very cool Geri!!! Woohoo … speaking of Psalm 23 …. I just saw this very interesting 8 minute clip from Aaron @ God A Minute … regarding Passover … crossing over … and what the Valley of Shadow of Death that David was talking about in Psalm 23 - Fair Use - I was looking up Sivan 23 … to see what other calamities happened on that date in history … we have this Jeroboam Barricades Jerusalem (797 BCE) The barricades remained in place for 223 years, until Hoshea ben Elah, the last king of the Northern Kingdom, had them removed on the 15th of Av of 574 BCE. And in American history … Sivan 23 On this day in June 1962, the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed the New York State Regent's Prayer in public schools, on the grounds that it violated the separation of Church and State. - Fair Use - Hmmm … coincidence with removing God from our society and replacing with false gods on this particular day? If we are raptured in April or May … I wonder if the AC will set up his idols in the Chrislam Abrahamic House of Worship on Sivan 23 - it will fall on June 12, 2023? Sounds GREAT so glad you bumped up this old thread, :yes: Watchful for Beloved Favor! Aaron from God A Minute shows the parallels between #23 vs #30 Genesis 29 Leah represents the Gentile bride in verse 23 Jacob consummates the marriage represents the church being the bride to Jesus. Then he hast to wait 7 more years for Rachel. Represents going thru 7 year tribulation Rachel represents the Jewish bride in verse 30 Jacob consummates the marriage with Rachel. The Jewish people are married to God at the 2nd coming and hopefully that is in 2030. Then he mentions in another youtube Let’s hope 2023 is our escape! ————————————————————————————————————————————- Per Biblestudy.org on the #23 I thought this was kind of cool … speculation on the number of children Adam & Eve had … 23 daughters :wacko: … and we know they had at least 3 sons … The number 23 derives part of its meaning from the fact that Adam and Eve produced twenty-three daughters according to the first century historian Josephus (Jewish tradition). The tribe of Levi was consecrated to serving the Lord. They represent substitutes to God's claim of all the firstborn in Israel when he saved them, and not the Egyptians, from the death angel (Num. 3:12 - 13). Counted separately, it was found that twenty-three thousand males, one month of age or above, were Levites (26:62). The Jews were protected on Sivan 23 (Sivan is in the month of June) Mordecai, on Sivan 23, with the permission of Persia's king, had a decree written that gave Jews protection from Haman's inspired edict for their destruction (Esther 3:10 - 11, 8:9 - 11). The Jews, in the lands controlled by the Persians, were allowed to defend themselves and to take any spoil from those who sought to harm them. Hmmm … I wonder if the big wars will be occurring against Israel this coming June? :unsure: And the most beloved and popular Psalm of all … Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. I was thinking of this Psalm in future sense … when we get to our eternal home in heaven … we shall never want … we will lay down in green pasture of the gardens and be in peaceful environment besides the still waters - thinking of the ponds, lakes and the River of God and eating the fruit from the Tree of Life. He restores our soul … we get a brand new glorified body. Then in the last 2 verses He prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies … I’m thinking of the Wedding Banquet Feast celebration on the earth … could it be held in the same place where the first miracle happened @ the Galilee Cana Wedding and changing the 6 water pots into fabulous tasting wine? Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. Per Dr. Barry Awe 6 water pots of stone - aka 6,000 years Water pots were 20 or 30 gallons a piece - aka year 2030? The feast takes place 2030 - 7 year of tribulation = 2023 rapture? :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: My thoughts are The Galilee Cana Wedding is not too far from the battlefield of Armeggdon … where Jesus is going to call the birds to come and dine on the flesh of Israel’s enemies so how fitting to have … “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:” “thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over” we know David was anointed King of Israel with the oil ceremony … but we are also going to receive crown(s) for being a faithful servant … and will probably keep the crowns as Jesus gives us job assignments in the Millennium Kingdom to help with the ruling and reigning. Perhaps there is also some oil ceremony? :unsure: And lastly “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” What a glorious future promise for us! :whistle: 
I love the little daddy of a song at the end —- I’ll see you in the rapture….. :yahoo:
After King Solomon's passing in 797 BCE, ten of the twelve tribes of Israel, led by Jeroboam ben Nebat of the tribe of Ephraim, rebelled against Solomon's son and heir, Rehoboam. The Holy Land split into two kingdoms: the "Kingdom of Israel" in the north, with Jeroboam as its king and the city of Samaria as its capital; and the southern "Kingdom of Judah" with its capital Jerusalem, where Rehoboam ruled over the two tribes (Judah and Benjamin) that remained loyal to the royal house of David. The spiritual center of the land, however, remained Jerusalem, where the Holy Temple built by Solomon stood, and where every Jew was obligated to make a thrice-yearly pilgrimage for the festivals of Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot. Seeing this as a threat to his sovereignty, Jeroboam set up, on Sivan 23 of that year, roadblocks to prevent the people's pilgrimage to Jerusalem, introducing instead the worship of two idols, in the form of gold calves, which he enshrined on the northern and southern boundaries of his realm.
