Chiastic Calendar of Current World Events on Revelation Timeline

Chiastic Calendar of Current World Events on Revelation Timeline

PART 1 – World event timeline related to Revelation timeline. Agenda 2030, WEF, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, US NDAA 2021 Corporate Transparency Act, Beneficial Ownership Information. Ezekiel’s “wheels within wheels” moving straight forward in four directions toward the end of this age! Could there be a chiastic structure (forward timeline mirrored backwards with the emphasis of both pointing to the middle) to the Revelation timeline as it relates to current world events especially since the year 2019 and pointing to something significant coming around Passover 2025?

Now Is The Time w/Rabbi Steve Berkson | Darkness & Light | Part 8

In this episode of Darkness & Light, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues in the Gospel of John, the twelfth chapter, where “certain Greeks” wanted to see Yeshua. • Who were these “Greeks”? What did they want with Yeshua? From this event, Rabbi Berkson makes the point...

What You Did

for the Greater Exodus

When is the best time to plan for Sukkot?

Immediately after Sukkot!

There’s not much chance of a smooth eight days next year if you’re not already working on your calendar and negotiating the days off. One thing’s for sure…if you bumble and stumble through a feast, the kids and grandkids are watching. What must they think? Their friends’ parents put up the December holiday lights and decorations weeks ahead of time, but mom had no idea that there was a significant rip in the tent roof or grandpa tried to hold a sukkah together with zip-ties and fishing line as the sun set on the first day of Sukkot?

I know. I’m not helping your anxiety level. It happens to most folks, though, until they learn to plan. Let’s see if I can help. Would it help if you understood the prophetic value of the seemingly minor activities during Sukkot? Like waving and shaking the lulav for seven days?

The lulav, or four species, is comprised of seven components. The palm branch is the lulav, but the entire bundle is also called the lulav [1?7]. To some, each of the species (minim) represent a type of believer, from extremely pious to minimally active spiritually. Even though there is a range of observance, they are all one bundle. The good traits of others can offset the lazier ones, who nevertheless might have some redeeming quality to contribute to the group.

There are other traditions as well. The feasts are filled with symbolic objects, foods, and actions. In one tradition, the symbolism of the lulav is:

•      One palm branch, representing the one Elohim.

•      One citron, representing the one nation (Israel).

•      Three myrtle branches, representing the three forefathers buried at Hebron

•      Two willow branches, representing the two Tablets of the Word

The palm branch, or lulav, must come from the crown of the dekel, or palm tree. It is the new growth that is still tightly compact, unopened, very straight like a spine that supports the body. 

The citron is the etrog, the pleasant-smelling “heart” of the lulav because of its shape. The etrog is invalidated if the pitom is broken off or missing. The pitom is the prominent tip. We must serve Adonai carefully and with a whole heart.

The myrtle is hadas, and its leaves look like eyes. If crushed or even brushed against, it releases a fragrant oil. We should always be on the lookout for opportunities to release the fragrance of Messiah Yeshua in our interactions with others. The Living Word leaves a tangible fragrance others appreciate. It is a sign of spiritual life, a prophecy of the resurrection. There must be three myrtle branches, a symbol of resurrection. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their wives are buried in Hebron because it was thought to the an entrance back to the Garden of Eden; thus, the resurrection number of three still speaks to us that we should walk in the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

The aravot are the two willow branches. Willows are very flexible, but they send down deep roots and dwell in well-watered places and along rivers of living water. Their long branches make a stunning whooshing noise if waved back and forth, which they were in the Temple water-pouring ceremony. These branches remind us that the Word must be inspired of the Ruach HaKodesh to inspire others. The commandments are embraced both with the spirit and letter, or practical doing of them.

The lulav is waved in seven directions. The Elyah Rabbah (Orach Chaim 651:1) writes: “All together, seven, corresponding to the seven heavens.” The bundled lulav is waved, or shaken, specifically in the direction of the four winds in a linear method as well as toward Heaven and earth, south-north-east-upward-downward-west. These directions are mentioned in Isaiah:

·     Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ And to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the earth, everyone who is called by My name, and whom I have created for My glory, whom I have formed, even whom I have made.” (Is 43:5-7)

There are sheep out in the sheepfolds of the nations, sons and daughters. They were exiled to the “wilderness of the peoples,” but they will come home to the Land of Promise in the Greater Exodus. They were emplaced in the nations just like Israel was emplaced in Egypt for a purpose:

·     “Now not with you alone am I making this covenant and this oath, but both with those who stand here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God and with those who are not with us here today (for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed; moreover, you have seen their abominations and their idols of wood, stone, silver, and gold, which they had with them)…” (Dt 29:14–17)

It is important for us to SEE the abominations and idols of the nation in which we live. That means we should recognize those as contrary to every precept of life in the Scripture. We are not to see in order to absorb the abominations or to be absorbed into them, but to become the Light of the Word that stands against them in that nation.

Out there among the nations is a Bride-to-be. She may not even know she is a Bride yet. She has not yet heard or responded to the Good News of Messiah. “How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him that brings good news, announcing peace. Keep your feasts, O Judah!” (Na 1:15) This is why observing the feasts is important. Just as the Bride was called out of their chains in Egypt, so there are others in that wilderness of the nations who must shrug off the Egyptian chains and hang them in a sukkah at Sukkot. 

SHAKING AND WAVING

•      With the lulav, we call home the exiles from all directions of the earth to the sukkah. They are called to Kingdom assignments, their reward, and to perfecting repentance.

•      First fruits offerings and those consecrated for service are typically waved

•      Is 13:13; Mt 24:29; Mk 13:25; Lk 21:26; Re 6:13 describe how powers and principalities will be shaken to prepare the way for Messiah’s return. 

•      When Messiah sets up his kingdom, the tribes will take the places of the removed “stars.” Just as they encamped in the wilderness to prepare to reign from the twelve gates of Jerusalem in place of those principalities and powers, so we are in the wilderness of the nations preparing ourselves and preparing the nations for the reign of the one and only Elohim of the universe.

If you’ve ever noticed Jews shaking the lulav, they don’t just wave it in the directions of the four winds, heaven, and earth, they SHAKE it hard. As the Bride-to-be is called home from the four directions of the nations, she is called forth from the earth where she is buried and from the heavens where her soul awaits the blowing of the shofar for the resurrection. 

The tribes come home, but they also awake from the dust at the resurrection so that they may ascend to New Jerusalem. There they will form one Bride, one Body of Messiah, an adornment for the Bridegroom. From the height of that cloud, they will descend, perfected, to rule and reign on earth. 

She must shake off the dust of death to arise even as the principalities and powers are shaken out of their places to make room for the new administration of the King of Kings.

Sukkot are often decorated with paper chains. One legend says that two descendants of Ephraim ran away from the slavery in Egypt, attempting to return to the Promised Land of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Pharaoh’s soldiers captured them, put them in chains, and paraded them through the cities of Egypt to warn people what happened to any attempting to flee slavery to Pharaoh. When Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and they first encamped in Sukkot, the two boys, who had kept the chains of their captivity so as not to forget the day of their freedom, hung the chains from their sukkot. Therefore, today children make paper chains to hang from the sukkah. 

Israel should never go back to the chains of slavery, but travel forward to the Covenant, the Land of Promise, and after the resurrection from the earth which they were formed, to take their places in the administration of Messiah during the millennium:

Shake yourself from the dust, rise up,

O captive Jerusalem;

Loose yourself from the chains around your neck,

O captive daughter of Zion. (Is 52:2)

Does that help any anxiety about preparing for Sukkot? When you shook the lulav, this is what you did. You were part of prophecy! 

Sukkot and the lulav each year teach us the responsibilities of being a Light of the Torah in the Greater Exodus of Israel as she returns to her Land of Promise. It’s a promise to Avraham, Isaac, and Jacob kept; it’s broken chains of sons and daughters in every sukkah on the journey home.

It’s the opportunity to be a part of that great cloud of witnesses to which we will awake at the resurrection. It’s a rehearsal to party with the righteous from centuries past at the resurrection. It’s a rehearsal to become acquainted with the Bride-to-be with whom we will be serving in the millennium. 

Wake it and shake it already!

Dr Hollisa Alewine – Footsteps of Messiah Part 130(Wee the People)

Dr Hollisa Alewine – Footsteps of Messiah Part 130(Wee the People)

Wee the People.

Did you have to memorize the preamble to the Constitution in school?

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution…”

I never had a problem memorizing things for school. It was getting up in front of people that was terrifying. Eighth grade was a veritable shark tank of hormones, cliques, and mean girls and guys. A public mistake likely meant a nickname you didn’t want. Not much tranquility among “we the people” in junior high.

We the people. The politicians did get a few things right back then. A sense of common identity, community, mutual respect, and all those things that define a people group were at the top of their agenda. Not a bad start for a government defining and agreeing on what “constitutes” a nation.

But the signers of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution didn’t want a king, even a good one.

Israel in the wilderness was a miracle, a people group preserved in Egypt over hundreds of years without losing their identity. They had a king, a pharaoh, yet they kept their own language. They kept their tribal identity. These things became even more defined in the wilderness when they received their covenant in Hebrew, affirming their collective mission.

Each tribe’s blessings were clarified, territory defined in the encampment, leaders chosen and instructed. A central place of worship nestled in their center, reminding them that they should provide for the common defense of the Ark, maintain their boundaries in tranquility, and look to the welfare of their families so that their posterity would be able to enter and inhabit the Land of Promise.

Their King was YHVH, Who betrothed them to Himself at Mount Sinai. Everyone signed on with “We will do, and we will hear.” Unlike the Tower of Bavel, where human beings united to build a name for themselves, Israel united to build the Name of the Holy One of Israel. There is ultimate power in unity, which is reflected in our proclamation of the greatest commandment: “Hear O Israel, the LORD your God, the LORD is One.”

What happens, though, when our “we” becomes my “I”? Oh, my.

The stutter-steps in the wilderness occurred when the I’s developed an independent agenda or envied others. There were rebellions against the authority of Moses and Aaron, rebellions against the mitzvot, even passive-aggressive disobedience. In the wilderness, that means just not showing up when you know you should.

Each problem emerged when “I” outweighed “we the people.” Even rebel groups were not truly a “we.” They had different agendas, so they were bound as “we” only in dissatisfaction, which would not be enough to hold them together had they been successful, such as Korach and the Reuvenites. Truth is, they were a collection of “I’s”.

The secret to a successful “we”, as in “We will do, and we will hear,” or “We the people,” is that we have to become wee people. Smaller than our egos tell us we should or ought to be. Or, in some cases, bigger than our fears will allow us to be. In that case, doing more is actually an act of humility. If we obey the fear, we will not be fruitful in the congregation. We have to make the fear smaller and our Divine spiritual calling greater. Great faith means wee fear.

WE are not alone as we battle our egos or our fears:

“Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us…” (He 12:1)

The clouds surrounded the Israelites in the wilderness. Within the cloud were many witnesses to the exodus from Egypt, the miracles along the way, and the national purpose to build the Kingdom of the only true King of Kings. “I” could never forget what “we” experienced because there were so many witnesses in the surrounding cloud. What I experienced was what we experienced.

This is a race we run together. The only time there is one runner is called a “walk-over” in horse racing. It means that there is an entry in the race that is so formidable that no one else dares even enter another horse in the race. That horse has only to walk over the finish line. In other sports, a walkover occurs when the opposing team forfeits because of the overwhelming skill of the opponent.

The race is not against other believers! The race is against the enemy within, the sin that so easily bogs us down, entangles us. Did you know that every horse race is designed to be a theoretical dead heat? The track experts rate each horse, and then the faster ones with more stamina carry extra weight in their saddles to slow them. Less proven horses carry less weight so they can run faster.

Although there is rarely a true dead heat, that is the goal. Within the Bride of Messiah, however, that is the ONLY way we finish the race, together. We might look around and point the finger at others for interfering with us, blocking us, bumping us, discouraging us. With our race, however, Paul tells the Corinthians that WE are our own obstacles.

Our own sin, whether rebellious and aggressive, or rebellious and passive, is a burden, or “encumbrance” in the NASB. It’s not extra weight that someone else slips into our saddle, but extra weight we choose to carry. And we don’t have to. And we shouldn’t. Because we want to finish the race at the same time as everyone else. This is not a speed race, but a finishing race. To finish with everyone in the cloud is the win. That’s why Paul says it’s an endurance race. There are no walkovers in the cloud in the wilderness.

We are not alone in our walking race. The cloud of the Presence of Adonai with us includes the inspirational souls of Israel who have gone before in their royal priesthood bridal garments. Like all who would take the yoke of the Torah upon them were standing at Mt. Sinai, so we are part of that great cloud of witnesses…

As the Israelites neared the Promised Land at the end of their journey, Moses reminded them, “You are witnesses today…”

The goal is to finish the testing in the wilderness, which is a race of endurance, not speed. We are in the wilderness of the peoples. In the wilderness of the peoples, we also are surrounded by that great cloud of witnesses and the Presence of Adonai:

“Now not with you alone am I making this covenant and this oath, but both with those who stand here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God and with those who are not with us here today (for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed; moreover, you have seen their abominations and their idols of wood, stone, silver, and gold, which they had with them)…” (Dt 29:14–17).

Like the Israelites had to see the gods of Egypt and of the nations in their exodus, so the great cloud of witnesses are “with” us as we also journey, exiting Egypt, being tested for any shred of idolatry left within us from the “midst of the nations” where our wilderness of the peoples occurs.

Endurance is the race strategy, not speed. In this race, all finish at the same time, the resurrection of the dead. In the warning to Sardis in Revelation, Yeshua cautioned that not all who were called will be fully clothed in the supernatural garments that allow them to pass into and out of the “cloud” of New Jerusalem as they minister to the nations and kingdoms of the millennium. Although all were educated by Moses and the Ruach in the cloud in the wilderness, not all obeyed His compassionate mitzvot with joy, and they died in the wilderness. The Cloud expels rebels and practicing sinners. It re-assigns them to less holy spaces.

Nehemiah explains Israel’s royal priestly semi-Edenic journey, reiterating the special garments in a cloud dwelling where the Lamp was the Lamb, the Word of God, and they ruled the peoples from this portable Jerusalem/Temple. (Re 21)

“You, in Your great compassion did not forsake them in the wilderness; the pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, to guide them on their way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go. You gave Your good Spirit to instruct them, Your manna You did not withhold from their mouth, and You gave them water for their thirst. Indeed, forty years You provided for them in the wilderness, and they were not in want; their clothes did not wear out, nor did their feet swell. You also gave them kingdoms and peoples…” (Ne 9:19-22)

From the wilderness the Israelites were educated how to rule kingdoms and peoples on behalf of the King of Kings. They had to see the abominations and idols in their journey in order to know how to minister to those peoples with the Light of the Torah. Although Hebrews, they understood the language of the Egyptians. They were to see what NOT to do; they weren’t supposed to absorb it and do it.

Although we are Israelites in the wilderness of the peoples, we speak the languages of our exile. We see their abominations and idols. And in spite of all we see in our many Egypts, we retain our identity and the Scripture, the Hebrew “language” of righteousness. We, like every other witness at Mount Sinai, are being educated by Moses and trained in righteousness by the Ruach HaKodesh. The Divine constitution of our nation rests in our midst, the Presence of our King among us, abiding among us through His Word.

We are no longer I.

For now, our temporary tribal territory has been defined so that we may observe the nations and their abominations and idols, so that we may intercede for them now, lead them to repentance, and demonstrate to them that even though we are many Hebrews, we are one in Messiah. We eat the same spiritual food and drink the same spiritual drink in this wilderness.

Where, you ask, is this manna and water in our wilderness?

It’s on your end table. Your nightstand. Your desk. Your laptop. Even your phone.

The Israelites had to walk out each morning together to gather the manna and draw water from the rock’s streams in the desert. We, however, have the Scriptures at our fingertips without ever leaving our homes, our chairs, or even our beds. Never has a wilderness generation had such easy access to manna and spiritual water of the Word.

Therein is a great blessing, and therein is a great danger.

When we don’t have to gather together to gather the Bread of Heaven, we can remain isolated in our feeding upon the Word. I read. I study. I post. It appeals to both the inflated ego and the passive one who remains aloof, hiding from brothers and sisters in the cloud. The cloud is not a place to hide our faces from one another. It is not the cloud that makes us invisible to one another. It is the encumbrance of sin and rebellion we still lug around.

Although it seems like a great blessing for the Word to be so easily gathered and ingested, it is also a test in our wilderness of the peoples. Moses was the most humble man on the face of the earth. He humbled both aspirations and fears. He decreased so Adonai could increase in the faith of the Israelites. He decreased so the King’s witnesses could increase to fulfill their mission and finish the journey. He decreased so kingdoms and peoples could be joined to Israel. Moses became a wee person who could draw near the Divine Presence and draw others near as well.

In Yeshua’s temptations, neither aspirations nor fears clouded his understanding of the Word and his mission. Our Messiah Yeshua put off the Divine glory to become a wee person, to draw many into the cloud of witnesses.

Shouldn’t wee?
