Five Doves, Bruce Baber(28 Oct 2024) "Look at Hanukkah 2024"
Look at December 14-22 Hanukkah 2024 and see what I wrote 12 years ago.
Bruce Baber (5 Dec 2012) “The 2 Witnesses Turn the 7 Branched Menorah Into a 9 Branched Hanukkah Menorah”
The seven branched menorah is replaced with a nine branched menorah for Hanukkah. Scripture (Old and New Testament) shows a seven branched lampstand change into a nine branched lampstand. The two witnesses make it so!
In Zechariah and in Revelations two visions are given showing how the seven branches become nine by the addition of the two witnesses who stand on either side of the traditional 7 branched menorah. In fact the two witness are described as lampstands in Revelations.
Zechariah 4:
11 Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?”
12 Again I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?”
13 He replied, “Do you not know what these are?”
“No, my lord,” I said.
14 So he said, “These are the two who are anointed to[b] serve the Lord of all the earth.”
Revelation 11:
3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4 They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”
Notice that the two witnesses are called LAMPSTANDS.
Zechariah says they stand on either side of the 7 branched menorah. The addition of the 2 witnesses (lampstands) makes a 9 branched menorah! The 9 branched menorah is ONLY used during Hanukkah!
IF we go up at Hanukkah, then that must be when the 2 witnesses come down because they are presently standing before the Lord. Immediately after they come down, they will have 1,260 days to complete their mission.
With the Bible and the help of the Dead sea scrolls and the book of Jubilees, they can figure out the date the flood occurred. The theory is that the Rapture will occur on the anniversary of the flood date. They also look at various Bible translations (mainly the Septuagint and Masoretic text) to interpret the time and days related to the flood date. This video is from "Blow the Shofar", who gives a date of Nov. 13th, same date from Ribvideos.com. At the 14 minute mark of this video, he also shows a possible Nov. 3rd date.
@davedave I saw the new moon was spotted the evening of the 3rd, so that would make the 3rd evening to 4th evening the first day of the new month? So then on that video I posted of Ricardo Garcia, Day of Atonement would be the 13th. Very interesting that it lines up with this video of Daniel Larimer's flood start date.
Today is All Saints day, but many celebrate it on the first Sunday of November(Nov. 3rd this year). All Saints day is the oldest Christian celebration and originated when Christians commemorated the many martyrs who died at the hands of the Roman soldiers. Christianity was legalized throughout the Roman Empire in 313 and the violent persecutions came to an end.
