I'm new here and I love the Messiah2030 documentary and this forum. I love my brothers and sisters. I see many doctrines of man are continuing to blind us. When Jesus said that you must become like the child to enter the Kingdom, he was teaching about innocence. But how can you become "like the child"? The answer is in His admonishments of the Pharisees and Saducees. Beware their "leaven". He teaches the parable of the leaven, 3 portions of meal which expand to become the kingdom.
Paul's teaching in Colossians 2 further explains this. Because of Jesus' finished work on the cross, we can become unleavened. Leavened with Spirit and Truth and edified as a Body. (Unity in the Word) The Word being our Head.
This is all about removing the doctrines of man. That is how you become like the child.
Therefore do not continue to defend doctrines that were sown into the church (tares). Instead hold fast what is good (firmly built upon the solid Truth of the Word of God) and reject everything else.
Jesus was raised on the sabbath. The Day actually begins with Light. (Jews are wrong on this) If you are following the Way, then you keep the sabbath holy. Go to church whenever you like, but if the church teaches a new sabbath or makes sunday holy, then they are keeping the blinders on you.
But don't stop there. There is no pre-trib rapture in Revelation. And therefor it is found nowhere else in scripture either. Check Rev 22:18. Jesus sets the rule, If He did not specifically include it in His prophecy, it does not exist. He speaks of only First and Second resurrections.
It is time to get rid of the leaven. Jesus is the unleavened Bread of Life. Another false doctrine we tend to repeat (because of the deceptions of those others) is that Jesus was crucified on Passover. He was slain the day after the Passover. The "First Day of Unleavened Bread" the "High Sabbath". Yes he is the Passover Lamb, but this nuance (about which day) becomes powerful when we let it (the Word) Light our Path.
As the woman in Hosea 2 forgets the names of her former masters in the wilderness, so too we must forget the foreign doctrines that did not come from the Word - before we go to the wedding - before entering the Kingdom.
Hey now! let's keep it real,... NO ONE HAS IT ALL figured out sir. Let's encourage each to seek, ask, knock so that the "door" will be opened to us to see deeper into His Truth ok?
" let it (the Word) Light our Path." May I suggest allowing THE WORD to do just that... :)
you made such a bold statement "The Day actually begins with Light" May I suggest The Word Genesis 1. And "the evening, and morning was the first day." The day begins on God's timeclock, not our misunderstanding of it or what we have been taught. The day begins at Sunset. That is the only way you will see "The Passover Lamb" was put to death at the very day, hour that The nations Passover Lambs sere being sacrificed in real time.
All answers can be found if we read correctly. the day begins and sunset according The Creator. That's how YaHshua was crucified before sunset before Passover, Wednesday sunset, night becomes Thursday new day and Passover lambs put in oven. See how far away we are from God's timing? That is also how we can get 3 days and 3 nights completely , the only sign that YaHshua Messiah said he would give the Pharisees etc.
day 1 begins Thursday night into Thursday day, at sunset Friday night begins into Friday day#2, then Sunset Begins Saturday night into Saturday, 3 complete days and nights. "And early before the sun was arisen" they went to the tomb and it was empty.
Is this helping or making you confused? It made me confused at first! Then, I saw it! There is leaven out here! I have eaten it. Ugh.
I agree, we have been taught lies plenty. But, we are seeking for truth, YES?
I also believe we have been in a "great tribulation" since the stoning of Stephen back in acts.
I hope you will continue to see, we are on God's Timeline. which is why I even spent the time to watch Messiah2030! How much more will we see as we continue to explore The Fact of His Return.
Peace to all
We don't need to be confused about anything that is plainly given in the Word. We MUST separate the "Mysteries of God" from "blind leading the blind" "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the honor of kings to search it out." This speaks to the mysteries and indeed we are learning by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
But things that only persist because we don't let the Word be the Light on our path are only the tares and pharisee leaven of our time.
Evening and Morning do not bracket the whole day. Those are only time signatures at the middle (even) and the end (morning) of the day (yom echad). But we do not need to know Hebrew to understand this. Look at Numbers 33:3 "And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians."
Here we can clearly see that Moses regarded the morrow after the Passover (the 14th) to be the "fifteenth".
Passover was on Wednesday night. (and always is, but that's a different discussion). You do have 3 days and nights with Jesus slain at about 3 PM on Thursday. Because He was in the heart of the earth as soon as he breathed his last. That was in the daytime. (when his body was moved is not the starting clock) And the sabbath ends in the morning before the new day.
There are many many more scriptures we can allow to speak for themselves on these things.
If Christ died on Wednesday evening as the Passover lambs were being sacrificed could it be that this very moment was both the fourth day of the week transitioning to the fifth day of the week and the fourth “day” (thousand years) of creation transitioning into the fifth day (thousand years) of creation? The timing all seems to line up in so many ways.
I guess I don't know because the gospels all agree that he shared the Passover dinner with the disciples. Then he be was betrayed and arrested, then he was marched around, questioned, tortured, mocked in public, beaten, marched and abused more then crucified all after the Passover dinner extending into the following day.
Mark 14 makes it so clear in verse 12 "Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?"
I completely understand you might think he ate the last supper and it "appears" in english that is what he was doing. Read again all accounts, then understand, preparations for Passover take a long time, then even longer to purge all leaven from house. More study note from John,...
John 18:28 "Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover."
John 19:14 "And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
Passover lambs were being slaughtered at the exact time Jesus was being crucified. And at the exact time the High priest said "It Is Finished", Jesus Said it Too!!
You can't make this stuff, God's Plan unfolded so perfectly.
Keep up the good work in your studies my friend, Let us find out more until He Comes!
Peace
