If you go to Janie Duvall's Channel and listen to the video titled "26 Major signs King Charles...." and listen at the 41 min mark and then again at 1 hour 2 min mark, Craig talks some about the calendar.
Craig replied December 13th and it airs on the 25th.
Another asked
I'm really trying to make sense of everything going on. This really seems like Daniel 9:27.
But technically the tribulation doesn't start until revelation 6:1-2 happens.
So could there be some kind of delay between this covenant and revelation 6 or what.?
2nd thing I've had on my mind for a while, is that I feel there is going to be some clear warning before the rapture.
I believe it's biblical but haven't had time to study it out.
Noah was warned, Lot was warned, Elijah knew his time, Paul says there is no need I write to you 1Thes 5:1; 4
Just some thoughts.
Craig’s response
The tribulation begins with the confirming of the covenant but the gap between that event and the opening of the seals is relatively unknown. As per what is now revealed, it would have to occur fairly soon at the time of the confirming or shortly thereafter as the king’s controlling initiatives begin January 1st 2024.
Here are some more charts and info from Craig’s facebook page explaining the 2 seasons
Learn of God’s Calendar - Unlearn the lies of men
In 359 AD, the Hebrew calendar was officially moved back 210 years and 3 months, attributed to Hillel the Nasi, to hide the appointed days of their Messiah and to appease the bishop of Rome combining the Pesach with the pagan celebration of Easter. The calendar the Jews follow today became known as the Hillel II calendar.
Exodus 23:16
Also you shall observe the Feast of the Harvest of the [SUMMER'S] first fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field; also the [WINTER'S] Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field.
The beginning of the agricultural calendar began in the 1st month of summer and ended on the first day of the 7th month at the beginning of winter.
Concerning Sukkot -- Eyewitness Account of Flavius Josephus
“Upon the fifteenth day of the same month, when the season of the year is changing for winter, the law enjoins us to pitch tabernacles (i.e. booths) in every one of our houses…” (Antiquities 3.10.2) ... Note: He goes on to say that these were pitched inside the homes because it was cold outside.
The ancient calendar followed a 354 day/year cycle, the first day of each month upon the day of the new moon.
Solomon's Temple was decorated in Pomegranates indicating the time frame the Feast of the Ingathering would occur at the end of the agricultural season, either in late November or December.
Jesus' referred to this in John 4:35 of a common saying that from the wheat harvest there are four months until the ingathering.
To connect events for the next 9 months, pay special attention to: II Samuel 11:1, “In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war,--March 21st is the beginning of Spring on the ancient calendar, and Ramadan in 2023 begins March 22nd and ends Thursday, April 20.
Now with this imagery, study the mentions of events that took place in each month and watch how events unfold in the weeks and months ahead that align with God's agricultural calendar and his appointed times.
WINTER: A TIME TO ASSEMBLE
The tempest comes out from its chamber, the cold from the driving winds. The breath of God produces ice, and the broad waters become frozen. Job 37:9-10
Does the biblical narrative and historical evidence suggest the time of year of the rapture? Let's grab the Bible and some historical documents and let’s dig in…
The text of the Book of Genesis says Enoch lived 365 years before he was taken by God. The text reads that Enoch "walked with God: and he was no more; for God took him" (Genesis 5:21-24), which is interpreted as Enoch's entering heaven alive.
Using three eyewitness historical documents one can prove the 7th month was in winter in which the harvest was celebrated.
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest. John 4:35
From the end of wheat harvest to the harvest celebration there are four months, This face would indicate the harvest celebration on the biblical calendar is likely early to mid December at the new moon in which on the ancient 354 day/year lunar calendar, the first day of the seventh month was declared.
EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS
The First HANUKKAH (December 164 BCE)
Antiquities 12.7.6-7 316-325 (I Maccabees 4:36-59)
Kislev or Chislev (Hebrew: כִּסְלֵו, Standard Kīslev), also 'Chisleu' in the King James (authorized English) Bible, is the third month of the civil year and the NINTH MONTH of the ecclesiastical year on the Hebrew calendar. In the Babylonian calendar its name was Araḫ Kislimu.
And on the twenty-fifth day of the month Kislev (THE NINTH MONTH IN WINTER), which the Macedonians call Apellaios, they lighted the lights [phôta] that were on the menorah, and offered incense upon the altar, and laid the loaves upon the table, and offered whole burnt offerings upon the new altar.
Scripture tells us this ninth month was in winter and using the above quotes, it clearly indicates it was in late winter.
Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, with a fire burning on the hearth before him. Jeremiah 36:22
ENOCH'S RAPTURE
...it was upon the seventh day that Enoch ascended into heaven in a whirlwind, with horses and chariots of fire.
And on the eight day all the kings that had been with Enoch sent to bring back the number of men that were with Enoch, in that place from which he ascended into heaven.
And all those kings went to the place and they found the earth there filled with snow, and upon the snow were large stones of snow, and one said to the other, Come, let us break through the snow and see, perhaps the men that remained with Enoch are dead, and are now under the stones of snow, and they searched but could not find him, for he had ascended into heaven. Jasher 3
TABERNACLES: THE HARVEST OF POMEGRANATES COMPLETED
Josephus gives a good summary of how the Feast of Tabernacles was celebrated during the time of Christ:
“Upon the fifteenth day of the same month [the seventh month], when the season of the year is changing for winter, the law enjoins us to pitch tabernacles in every one of our houses, so that we preserve ourselves from the cold of that time of the year; as also that when we should arrive at our own country, and come to that city which we should have then for our metropolis, because of the temple therein to be built, and keep a festival for eight days, and offer burnt-offerings, and sacrifice thank-offerings, that we should then carry in our hands a branch of myrtle, and willow, and a bough of the palm-tree, with the addition of the pome citron...
TAKE NOTE: Pomegranates are harvested in Israel just prior to winter in November/December.
..and this is the accustomed solemnity of the Hebrews, when they pitch their tabernacles. Josephus - Antiquities of the Jews 3:10:4
TIME OF GATHERING
The name Abib is the same as the noun אביב ('abib), which refers to fresh barley, which in turn signified the beginning of harvest and thus the agricultural year. It is used several times in the book of Exodus and is the month in which the Israelites left Egypt. It is also the month in which the tabernacle would be set up on the first day of the first month, laying out a symbolic plan of salvation for mankind to follow.
Today, on the Hillel II Jewish calendar, Abib corresponds with March-April. But there is no barley harvested in March EVER and at best it wouldn't begin in the lower elevations until late April/early May. Jerusalem on occasion has had light snowfall up until March 15th, thus suggesting Passover at this time of year is historically and Biblically inaccurate. The Hebrew calendar was adjusted by 210 years and 3 months in 359 AD attributed to Hillel the Nasi to appease the bishop of Rome and to combine Passover with the pagan feast of Easter.
It wasn’t until 325 AD, at the Council of Nicaea that Easter became official for all of Christianity. Roman Emperor Constantine convened this council for the purpose of unifying the doctrines of his new state religion to be called “Christianity”. This was a purely political move. Constantine realized that to control his kingdom he needed to somehow merge the old pagan religions with this new religion. Thus creating a universal or catholic religion.
Among the things discussed in this council were the moving the Sabbath day to Sunday and setting the dates for the pagan celebrations of Christmas and Easter. It was ruled that Easter Sunday would be celebrated on the Sunday immediately following the first full moon after the vernal equinox.
Catechism of the Catholic Church1170 “At the Council of Nicaea in 325, all the Churches agreed that Easter, the Christian Passover, should be celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon (14 Nisan) after the vernal equinox.”
Fifty days from the early summer harvest celebration of First Fruits using the Biblical timeline, is the beginning of wheat harvest which to this day begins in July and runs through August. The agricultural year in Israel begins with the first day of summer (barley harvest nearly completed) and ends with the first day of winter (pomegranate harvest fully completed).
The Song of Solomon makes liberal use of the pomegranate in describing the loveliness of the bride (Song of Solomon 6:11; 7:12; 8:2). The bridegroom says to the Shulamite, “Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate” (Song of Solomon 4:3). The modest blush on the bride’s cheeks reminds the groom that her true beauty lies within.
The pomegranate describes in essence, the loveliness of the bride of Christ in that we see the pomegranate equated with fruitfulness, blessing and prosperity. Numbers 13:23
So, in this season following the completion of all the harvests, we find men assembling together.
All the men of Israel assembled themselves to King Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month. I Kings 8:2
All the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, that is in the seventh month II Chronicles 5:3
“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month on the first of the month you shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. Leviticus 23:24
Now in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall also have a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work. It will be to you a day for blowing trumpets. Numbers 29:1
Blow the trumpet at the new moon (DAY OF TRUMPETS), at the full moon, on our feast day (TABERNACLES). Psalms 81:3
You have set all the borders of the earth; You have made summer and winter. Psalm 74:17
TIME IN WINTER
In the third month (BEGINNING OF FALL) they began to make the heaps, and finished them by the seventh month (WINTER). II Chronicles 31:7
Now it was the Feast of Dedication (HANUKKAH) in Jerusalem, and it was WINTER. John 10:22
Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, with a fire burning on the hearth before him. Jeremiah 36:22
In the Spring we see kings going to war. Here is what the Bible says about the first month of Spring.
In the spring (THE TENTH MONTH), at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army. II Samuel 11:1
“And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.” II Kings 25:1.
As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease. Genesis 8:22
Understand God’s calendar and you will know the time of His arrival. In the 7th month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. Leviticus 23:24
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. Colossians 2:8
The appointed times of the Lord
On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of sabbath rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts. Leviticus 23
The rehearsal for day of trumpet blasts was to be the day we are gathered together as the bride of Christ and we enter our time of rest.
But, what if … everything we were taught concerning the timing of the Lord’s appointed times was wrong? What if … the eyewitness account has been ignored? What if … the first month is the beginning of summer and the 7th month is the beginning of winter? What would this reveal to us awaiting His appearing?
“Write down this vision and clearly inscribe it on tablets, so that a herald may run with it. For the vision awaits AN APPOINTED TIME; it testifies of the end and does not lie. Though it lingers, wait for it, since it will surely come and will not delay. Look at the proud one; his soul is not upright—but the righteous will live by faith—… Habakkuk 2:2-4
GOD'S APPOINTED TIME - THE RAPTURE OF THE BRIDE
The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘These are My appointed feasts, the feasts of the LORD that you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies. “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest (fulfilled as we enter our eternal rest) a sacred assembly (for those set apart to God, a holy convocation) announced by trumpet blasts. You must not do any regular work, but you are to present an offering (fulfilled with laying down of our crowns) made by fire to the LORD.’ ” Leviticus 23:1,23-24
Scripture clearly teaches that the rapture will only take place on some yet future Yom Teruah. Yom Teruah sets the pattern for the Day of Redemption, signaled by the resurrection, the rapture and the following 7 years of tribulation. It announces the Messiah's wedding day to his bride the church, his coronation as King, the day of the resurrection of the dead and the rapture of his Bride by way of an awakening blast for both the living and the dead.
Teshuvah is the Hebrew word given to the 40 days preceding Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. These 40 days represent a period of time of 40 Jubilees (2000 years) that must be fulfilled until the 2nd Coming.
The root word is the Hebrew Teshuvah is "shoov" which means to return. This time gap literally points to a designated time in the future in which the Messiah will return.
Psalm 27 is recited daily throughout the month of Elul, a time that is referred to as "The King is in the field".
Psalm 27:1 "The Lord is my Light" refers to the festival of Yom Teruah. "And my salvation" refers to Yom Kippur. Verse 5, "For He will hide me in this tent" refers to the Feast of Sukkot or Tabernacles.
Beginning on the first of 40 days, the shofar (representing God's Word) is blown as a signal to "return to God in repentance." With this warning comes impending judgment for disobedience. This symbolically represents the church age, a time of grace, in which the Gospel is preached and for those that reject it, eternal impending judgement.
The 10 days between Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur represent the Tribulation on the Earth that will purge the Earth of evil. If you count only the days from the close of Yom Teruah (a two-day feast) until the beginning of Yom Kippur, they total seven, the number of years in the Tribulation period itself. This is called the "Time of Jacob's Trouble," and the "Days of Awe," and will be a time such has never been seen on the earth.
It is imperative that man repent and return to the Lord BEFORE the time of Jacob's trouble, so that he might be "hidden" in that day. (See Psalm 27:5)
"For in the time of trouble (referring to the Time of Jacob's Trouble), He shall hide me in His pavilion (chuppah); in the secret place of His Tabernacle (the place where God dwells), He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock." This unmoveable rock is the safety place of the Bride who has made herself ready.
Isaiah also referred to this "hiding away" in chapter 26, verses 20-21:
"Come, my people, enter your chambers and shut your doors behind you; hide yourself, as it were, for a little while, until the indignation is past. For behold, the Lord comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the Earth for their iniquity;"
The Hebrew word for "indignation" in this verse is "zah-ham." Its literal translation means "God will froth at the mouth at his displeasure with sin." The great tribulation at the end of the age will indeed be a time such has never been seen on the earth before....the wrath of God poured out in fury.
"Watch, therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man." Luke 21:36
It is in this frame of mind of watching and praying, that the Jews begin to turn from their sin and toward the Lord that they, too, after the rapture of the church, might be found worthy to have their names written in the Book of Life on the Day of Yom Kippur-the 2nd Coming.
@blue Blue, have you tried using the screenshot option to copy from facebook, or anywhere online? At least for your own purposes to save at home. I'm not yet sure if trying to post screenshots here will take on the forum.
@blue If you are using a PC just right click on the image and select "save image as..." and it will prompt you for a name and place to store it. Usually they already have some sort of file name and it often looks like this: "406399404_10231125225572506_6774689299780649102_n" so you'll want to change it to something more recognizable. It will try to save the picture to the last place you saved something but I like to select the desktop unless I already have a specific file for those sorts of things, that way it's easy to find it later.
You’re welcome. I don’t have a Facebook account either .. but I’m able to lurk at 2 out of 4 of Craig’s YouTube/Facebook accounts - 2 are closed for members only because its like a chat forum.
