The Two Witnesses: Part 2 - The Hour and Day

-
Hello dear Friends and Readers!  Last we were together, I shared
Clocks

with you a question:
What about the 2 witnesses?

Let's back up just a teensy bit and give that question some context.

1)  The question was asked in relationship to the Feast of Trumpets.
2) Trumpets is always kept on the first day of the month at the new moon.
3) New moons, in ancient times were always accepted by the testimony of 2 witnesses.

If the witnesses were needed to confirm the original Feast of Trumpets, then my mind reasoned that 2 witnesses would also be necessary in the prophetic fulfillment of Trumpets.  
(If the Feast of Trumpets is brand new to you, I recommend that you start here, then hop back over to this blog).  

That is how we got here.  Let's keep going... 👇

If you guessed that our trail would be begin in Revelation 11, you guessed right!  Most of my readers will have heard about the 2 witnesses in relation to end times.  But some readers may be new to the idea that YHVH's appointed time, Yom Teruah, or Feast of Trumpets, may also point to end times.  

The words of Messiah Yeshua in Mark 13 helped me make the connection.  Yeshua was speaking with His disciples about end times.  They wanted to know when....

But of that day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven nor the Son, except The Father.
Mark 13:32

To our modern ears, this means that no one knows.  

To the ancient ears of the disciples, it was Yom Teruah / Feast of Trumpets language!

The disciples would have immediately made the connection of the well-known saying that Yeshua used, and it would have reminded them of Trumpets...just as Messiah had planned.  You see, it was a saying in ancient times that no one could know the day or hour of the new moon.  Why?  Because it had to be observed by...

The 2 witnesses. 

Are you tracking with me?

Messiah Yeshua gave His disciples a push in the direction of understanding the next layer to a feast they had been celebrating their entire lives.  In His carefully chosen words, He connected Trumpets to end times.

The Counterfeit

As I write today, a solar eclipse is literally less than 48-hours away.  There is a bit of eclipse hysteria in the air.  People are scrambling to get their approved glasses, and many travel plans are being made in order to get the best possible view.  Some groups see the impending eclipse as a cool learning experience, while others preach that it is a sign of soon-coming doom.  Seems like a good day to broach an end-times subject that many of us don't like to think about: the mark.   Of course when I mention "the mark," I am guessing your mind goes straight to the mark of the beast.  I have spent much time pondering the mark of the beast.  I find in conversing with fellow believers that many are uncomfortable thinking about, discussing, and studying it.  I think a lot of us are more comfortable pretending that Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelation do not exist.  Why is this? I believe the answer is, fear.   It is human nature to fear what we do not understand, and let

Anyone out there like me...thinking that "the good shepherd" statement made by Yeshua (Jesus) was a simple analogy made up "on the spot" to convey His caring nature?   Oh boy! In my quest to understand the Old Testament (OT), I am finding that so many things in the New Testament (NT) are just re-teachings of original OT teachings.  This good shepherd  statement is a prime example, and it explains why the Judean leaders wanted to stone Yeshua for blasphemy! (John 10:33)  Without the context of the OT, one could not possibly understand the complete gravity of what Yeshua was claiming when referring to Himself as the Good Shepherd.   So, let's take a look... Ezekiel 34 (whole chapter) Jeremiah 23:1-4 John 10 (whole chapter) There is quite a bit of scripture reading today, but if you've been able to take the time to read the above passages, it has probably "clicked" with you as to why the Judeans were divided (John 10:19) and why the Ju

Are you looking for a Christ-Centered Haggadah?  Here are a few of my favorites! 1) This is what I affectionately call "the long version" Haggadah .  I created it in 2021, and to date, that was probably my favorite Passover.  (But let's keep trying, right!?) 2) Because there is a long version, you knew there had to be a "short version" Haggadah , right?  After a few l-o-n-g years 😉, my teenager helped me understand that sometimes a shorter version is just what is needed.   3) If I had all the time in the world, I would use this beautiful (and 40 page!) Haggadah from Torah Resource .  I love the Hebrew recitation, the traditions, and the New Testament connections.  As a matter of fact, I am thinking of pulling a few pages from this Haggadah and meshing it with "the short version" in 2024.  Does that mean we may have a medium version to share next year? 😎😂 4) I am also a big fan of the Haggadah published by Chosen People Ministries (CPM).  An added b
