Following the Water Bearer
For the past 5 months I have been convinced that he will raise us up on the last day, the great eighth day of tabernacles. That day has come and gone on what I believe to be the true calendar, the one that starts the month on a full moon; therefore, either the calendar is wrong or my understanding of the verses about him raising us up were mistaken.
I cannot simply ignore all of the scripture that points to the 8th day, but instead must continue to factor it into the greater picture. My current working theory is that these verses could just as easily apply to the second resurrection, after 1000 years; therefore, their failure to apply this year does not invalidate them.
If I hold to my understanding of the calendar, starting with the full moon, then where does that leave us? I believe He will act on an appointed time and not on a random work day. He did most of his recorded healings on the Sabbath. I have come to suspect he will make us whole on a Sabbath.
If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? — John 7:23
Before entering the promised land, all of Israel had to be circumcised after wandering in the desert. Likewise, I understand that we will be circumcised of heart and cut from our flesh at the rapture. On that day we will be made entirely whole; therefore, every Sabbath is a potential rapture date, and non-sabbath days are less likely. Consider now the importance of discerning the proper calendar to know the true Sabbaths.
“He has taken a bag of money with him. At the full moon he will come home.” … “Suddenly (destruction) he follows her As an ox goes to the slaughter” — Proverbs 7:20,22
This verse is one of the most straight forward verses that points to a full moon and which didn’t quite fit with my prior theory. We are told to expect him at the Full Moon, which I understand to be an Appointed Time, that of the New Month.
So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city (Babylon analogy), and a man carrying a water jug (Aquarius) will meet you. Follow him. Wherever he enters, tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room for Me to eat the Passover with My disciples?”’ He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make the preparations for us there.” So the disciples went out, entered the city, and found it just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover. — Mark 14:13–16
He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’” — Matthew 26:18
Why are these instructions described for us in the Bible? Just to show that Yeshua knows the details of where everyone will be and when? Or perhaps, it could contain useful instructions for us.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. — Revelation 3:20
After standing at the door, the golden gateway of the ecliptic, we would expect him to enter the door and dine with us at the place prepared.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am. — John 14:3
And just like the story with Mark, there is a place, a room, that is prepared for us.
On this meeting, Saturn, representing Babylon, will be covered by the moon for many people on earth. If the Moon becomes the symbol of the Water Bearer, then we follow it to the next Sabbath which is 10/16 and we find it in Pieces being carried on eagles wings.
The next day is “New Moon/Month day” and the moon is in the other fish.
Many people associate these fish with the rapture, so it is worth paying attention on the 16th and 17th as they qualify as a Sabbath and Full New Moon appointed time.
Looking at Joel 2:15–16 from a new perspective:
Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
The “:” after solemn assembly makes it appear that everything that follows belongs to the Atzeret; however, the “:” is an interpretation of the translator and could just as easily be a “,” which would indicate that the sequence of events continues. From this we can only infer that the gathering must be on or after the Atzeret.
Given the Day of Atonement is over for most calendars and that today is the last Day of Atonement possible with a “visible crescent” calendar, it would appear that regardless of what calendar you follow we are down to Tabernacles if 2024 is to be the year.
Here is the challenge, if you follow the first visible crescent as your start of month, then the full moon will not land on Tabernacles. Consider for a moment that if Atonement was the 13th or 14th, then Tabernacles starts on the 18th or 19th. Only by the full moon calendar is his return on the Full Moon an appointed time.
