PART
3
- JUBILEE SERIES with RESETS
Consider these Scriptures
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which He shall choose” Deut.16:16 “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come” Acts 2:1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What do these Scriptures refer to? What kind of timing was used to set these events? Who sets them? What’s involved in this story? This section, Part 3, deals with these questions.
The answers to the above begin with
balancing the 11 days difference
that exists in nature between the lengths of the Solar and
Lunar Years. The
results give a triangular focus on the ever changing yearly combinations
that exist. Since no two
years are alike, these results can also be viewed as a kind of “finger
print” laid on each year, making each year unique in itself.
This yearly fact, along with the same thing happening within each
Jubilee (the next larger time scale up) truly marks each year, and
Jubilee so that we can find them anywhere in time. Therefore
given these facts, like grid coordinates, a person can tell exactly
where they are in history. It’s
true! Did you know that?
Now actually, wouldn’t you expect
something like that from a God that is all knowing, and all powerful?
It just makes good sense! This
paper will look at how this system works when all of the rules are
applied. To
balance out this Solar/Lunar difference, it requires the adding of an
extra moon every two, or three years on a scheduled basis.
This extra moon is not a formally counted month in the Bible.
There are only 12 counting months mentioned in the Bible in any
year! Without
this balancing system, the shorter Lunar time would constantly
fall behind the longer Solar time until it moved all the way
around the year. This
cannot be allowed to happen as the Calendar Laws set those three Feasts
by using a date in the Lunar year counting system, and connecting that
date with the correct location in a given Season of the Solar Year.
Additionally Pentecost also includes the 7 day weekly cycle.
Many people use different methods to apply
this time, using different names for it.
This paper will refer to this added moon as “the Reset”
because, in fact, that’s what it does.
The subject of the “Reset”
effects everything in the Bible Calendar, including even the very date
that Israel crossed the Jordan River. This paper, The
JUBILEE SYSTEM with RESETS
comes with Figures, and Text
to explain each step in this vast subject. UNITS OF MEASURE See Figures Section
Figure 3.1 This material should not be new to you, as it’s also in Part
#1. It’s shown here to make it easier for your review. At the top of this Chart you’ll see the comparative lengths of the Solar and Lunar Years. It also shows the length of the “Lunar” month. As
we move ahead we will need to know the lengths of 48, and 49 year units.
Also we need to see how many “Resets” there are in those
units. Of
course, at the bottom of the Figure we see the actual day count that exists in 50
Lunar Years, contrasted with a Solar/Lunar
combination that points out 49-7-10. This
gives us the Jubilee.
Figure 3.2 The Jubilee: shown in Linear configuration See Figures Section This is the main body of the Linear Jubilee
Chart from Part 1 of this four part series. It’s shown
here so we can make various comparisons. In this Figure we
are looking at the “Resets”. Let’s
review what it shows us. First,
it’s Linear as opposed to the usual box shape of 7x7.
Here, the Jubilee is broken down into three rows, and stretched
out in a straight line. The
top row (1st) shows 49 Solar Years with its 7 year cycles. The
second row (2nd) shows 50 Lunar Years in a straight run,
starting with the first year and ending with the 50th year.
That’s the only unit shown in this row, and it’s laid up
against the 49 Sun years above it.
We will examine this Lunar 50 year period carefully later on. The
bottom row (3rd) shows 49 Lunar Years with
“Resets” added by a precise formula, so that the Lunar years keep up
with the Solar years. Notice the total day
count in both the top row, and bottom row.
They come out almost even, but are actually a little more than
one day apart. God
intentionally made the orbital speeds to be different.
In other words it was deliberate, and His Calendar uses that
difference. That difference is apparent and shows up as
a kind of “finger print” on each Jubilee. That difference will cause
the next Jubilee to start in a different “Reset” cycle.
That’s on a Jubilee level. The
same thing happens with each individual year, due to the 11 days
annual difference on the yearly scale. It happens automatically, whether we know it or not. Now we need to work our way through a
Jubilee by the year, so you can see the automatic formula appear. First I need to supply two more Figures and explain them, before we do this. They
are:
Figure 3.3 also called RCP (Reset Cycle Position) THE RESET SYSTEM APPLIED The purpose
of this
chart is to
illustrate how the Reset is applied.
The numbers
that appear in the
49 squares of the Jubilee grid on this chart represent the 30 possible positions
that the Reset system can cycle in.
They
do not represent any dates.
It’s 30 days long because it can’t be any larger than one
month. The “red” dots indicate a year where a Reset is applied. A Jubilee is ranked
by the Reset position that the 1st year shows.
In this Figure the Jubilee Reset position is in Cycle 16.
Because of the 1+ days difference between Solar Time (row 1), and
Lunar Time (row 3), in the above Figure, the first year of the next Jubilee will start in Cycle 15,
and so forth with each Jubilee. In
other words, it recedes with each Jubilee. With the fractions applied (remember 1+ days), by the third
Jubilee it will drop two Reset positions instead of one.
So the cycles for the first 3 Jubilees look like this: Cycles 16,
15, 13. Then Jubilees 4, 5,
and 6 from where we started would be in cycles 12, 11, and 9.
As you can see, that makes it change 4 Reset positions in every three
Jubilees of time. Are you
with me? This would be explaining it the easy way.
In reality other small factors will alter this formula slightly.
We will worry about that fact down the line when you have more
information. Right now
it’s “first things first”. So, seen through the eyes of Reset time, you can see that each
Jubilee starts out with a different rotating Reset position. Therefore, if you knew what cycle a given Jubilee started in, you
could go either forwards or backwards in time and find out other facts
that this reveals. Now that’s counting in whole Jubilees. Each year of a given Jubilee also changes.
Remember the 11 days difference per year between Solar Time and
Lunar Time. So in each year
we are losing 11 days, and in a Reset year we add either 29 or 30 days
with a Reset moon (that moon’s length is automatic too), minus the
normal lose of 11 days. That
gives us a net gain for the year of 19 days.
This happens in a controlled pattern, with each year of the
Jubilee having its own different Reset number.
You will see this in the drill coming up. REVIEW TIME: Each
Jubilee is marked differently by the Reset position that it
starts in, and each year of that Jubilee is also different.
There are no two Jubilees alike because the fractions make that
fact true. (The
yearly lose of 11 days actually averages 10.875 days). Find the Reset facts of a given story, and you can place that
story anywhere in time. Isn’t
that nice? Did you know
that? That will not work in the widely used Roman Sun Calendar system. God’s Feast Days are applied to each year, using these facts. If all Israelites are supposed to appear three times each year before God, then dates for those appearances are affected by the above facts.
Figure 3.4 also called 3M-GE (3 moons vs Green Ears) There are 3 divisions in this Figure. Top
division - Shows Solar time during Spring, stressing the “Green
Ears”. The green ears are “barley, and the Bible uses them as a
control crop. Notice the location of the “Spring” Equinox. Middle
division --- Shows
three months Lunar time numbered 12 , 1, and 2. The lower expanded scale numbered 1-30 is the same thing as the
numbers found in the individual yearly boxes of the upper Figure. We’re going to work our way through these two charts year by year to learn how this system works. You’ll need a pointer (pencil’s O.K.)
Figure 3.3 is a
teaching tool that follows a very simple formula to learn by. It's an
excellent tool to learn with, showing when to add
the Resets. When we get farther along, in Part 4, I will do the same thing with greater
accuracy. Figures 3.3, and 3.4 are to be used together in this unit. Look at 3.3 in the first year in that Jubilee diagram. Here we go: Year number
(1). The
upper left box of Figure
3.3 shows the reset position number
16. (I just chose
that number for this drill). Now place
a pointer on Figure
3.4 on the expanded grid at the
bottom on number 16. Year number
(2). We
lose 11
days due to the difference between the Solar
year and the
Lunar year (look back up at Figure
3.3) That moves us down to Reset position number 5.
Move your pointer down to number 5 on Figure
3.4. Year number
(3). If
we take
off another
11 we
will run off the scale. That
would put
us back into the previous month.
We must stay on the scale or
we will
get ourselves out of the "green ears" timing.
So at this point we
must add
30 days (one moon). Don't
forget we lose another 11 days this year also. If we add 30 days resetting, and take off the 11 days for yearly
lost time, the net is add nineteen. This then is the rule, either take off 11 days, or add 19 days,
whichever, in
order to
stay on
the grid in the 30 possible Reset positions.
Read this
again if
you need
to. Back to year number three. We
couldn't take
off 11, so we added
19 and that puts us on Reset position number 24 in Figure
3.3. The little red circle in the 2nd year shows that we added a
month (moon) to accomplish this. Year number
(4). We
can subtract 11 from
24, so we enter 13 in year number four. Year number
(5). Can
we subtract 11
from 13?
Yes, now we are in position
number 2.
Remember to
move the pointer
each year on Figure 3.4 to
keep track of where you are. Year number
(6). Whoops,
we can't take off 11 from
2, so we add the 19. That
puts us
up to cycle 21. Notice,
the little red dot in that 5th year.
We now have added two resets.
Year number six finds us in position 21.
Take off another 11 days. Year number
(7). This
year finds us in reset position number 10. Of course, we
can't take
off 11
so this year is also a reset year.
See the little red
dot there
also? Good, we
have now done 7 years. This
first 7 year period has 3 resets. Before we go on, notice the Reset number for each year.
Now ask yourself this question: what did the "Green
Ears" look like for that particular year?
Where they young, light green, and small, or older, bigger, and a
little darker? Where they dried out and turning yellow?
If you picked a handful of Green Ears, and put them in a vase on
your table, what did they look like?
Do you see how you can recognize early, and late Reset time just
by the "Green Ear" condition?
Now try this next
column, year number 8 through year number 14.
Notice, the take off 11 days, or add 19 days.
In this column we added only two resets to balance
things out, and we stayed within the 30 possible reset positions.
Our pointer on Figure 3.4
proves that. All of
this work is only
for drill because we are using whole numbers.
In reality
it's fractional,
and it's
irregular. By doing
this drill you will learn why the feast days come early some years, and
later in others. Next rule for this
drill. Year
#1, and Year #49. In a given Jubilee, whatever cycle
year
number 1
is in, year number 49 will be 10 higher (average).
Using our example, Year number 1 is in cycle 16.
Year number 49 is in cycle 26
(10 higher). Now imagine
a diagonal
line from year
number one down to year number 49.
Notice, there
are only
7 squares on that diagonal line, but you have to
add 10 numbers
in those 7 spaces. Look how I did it. Sometimes
add 2, sometimes add
only one.
This type of drill will get you within about a day of
the actual
time in
any Jubilee. See if you can do the rest of the columns yourself, using the
practice rules I gave you. After you learn how to do this, Part 4 "Seeable
Slivers" will
show you
how to set these cycles accurately.
Don't lose hope it's going to take you a while.
I've been at this for over 50 years. This work will help you see how to set the feast days, staying
within the Sun controlled
green ears, and
always have the Feast Days fall on the proper Moon Month count according
to the scriptures. THEY DO THAT! Actually I recommend doing
this 30 times using
a different number in Year #1 each
time. You won't be
sorry. It will open you up
for a very big point later on. As
a matter of fact it's one of the biggest secrets in the entire subject! A standard
Jubilee will have 18 Resets in it BEFORE 49-7-10. You will also find
that of the 30 Jubilees that you do, some will have the first Reset in
the first
year (I call that
type "A"), some
will have it in the second year (type "B"), and some will
have it
in the third year (type "C").
You will need to know this.
Figure 3.3 is a type
"B" Jubilee. All of this brings up more questions. The first question adds two additional ingredients to the pie. The first ingredient is:
Just how early and how late can this “Reset”
cycle get? There must be a
rule about that. Along with
that, is there any scripture to verify it? If the Reset moon is not mentioned in the scripture, how are you going to prove that it exists, but if you can, second ingredient, where in the year does it fit in? Can we just stick it in any old place? These are some good questions.
If the Jubilee is so accurate, and its accuracy depends on the
Resets, then how do we deal with these problems? In other words, in plain language, on a yearly basis, what is the
earliest, and latest that the Feast Days can be set, and where
in the year do we add the “Reset”? Another good question is: What happens if you don’t have 18 Resets by 49-7-10 in a
Jubilee? Can you still say
50 on that day? And finally
if that condition did happen, then, how often does it happen, and what
are the consequences of such a condition? Yes, those are good questions all right.
Especially when they would have to be proven by scripture. Now let me ask this, If they can’t be proven on a Scriptural
basis, then does that negate the whole subject that I have been teaching
in this series? However, if
the Jubilee does stand true then the rest of the answers must be there
too. Why isn’t anyone talking about this?
Also, if these questions can be answered, then what else
will come out of this whole story that we haven’t even got to yet? The truth is, all of this time we didn’t even know the
questions, let alone the answers. I’ll start with "Jubilee Types" first, as I was just
talking about it on a previous page.
This Figure shows
three types of Jubilees that I called Types A, B, and C. Where the first Reset happens in a given Jubilee is very
important. This Figure
illustrates three different settings.
Types "A", "B", and "C".
It could happen in the first year, second year, or the third
year. What difference does
that make? This deals with the question that I raised above about "what
if a Jubilee doesn't have 18 Resets before 49-7-10"?
Is it still a valid Jubilee? No it is not! To
be valid a Jubilee it has to have 600 months in it by 49-7-10.
Type C's above only have 17 Resets before 49-7-10.
They get their 18th Reset after the deadline.
That means they only have 599 months by 49-7-10.
That does not meet the requirement that says sound the trumpet
and say 50 on that day. Now
what? What do we have to do
to get another month before the deadline date? Note:
This only applies to the first year of the Jubilee.
After the first year, cycles 23-30 (Type "C") can, and
do show up anywhere, it doesn't matter.
It only matters if those
Cycles
are in the first year.
If they are, then you don't have a valid Jubilee.
Remember, the Jubilee is measured from 1-10 of the first year
until 7-10 of the 49th year. I explained back in Part 2 "Bible Timeline"
about when Israel crossed the Jordan River.
That was in a Type "C" Jubilee.
No one has a new Jubilee coming to them when they are facing a
Type "C" condition. The
only way that you can get another Reset to fill out the Jubilee, is by
waiting 10 days like God made Israel do before they crossed the Jordan
River. That's when the
clock started for Israel. That's why they had to cross over on a certain day of a
certain year. No one else
had that condition. I will explain about the Jordan crossing story in Figure
3.6 under "Unclean Time". At the very start of this Jubilee Series I said, "The Bible
Jubilee is one of the most misunderstood subjects in the world
today". It's true.
Why is so much information coming to the forefront now?
It's because we are heading into the end times and we have to
know more than we ever knew before.
It's the mercy of God.
Figure

Jubilee
Cycles
The 30 different Reset Jubilee patterns that I suggested for you
to make will help give the answers.
I’ve shown an example of a few of them here. *** Special note:
It’s a scientific fact that there are 7 Resets in 19 years.
This is called a “Metonic” cycle.
It’s named after it’s discoverer, a Greek named Meton, back
in the 600’s B.C. Using 7
Resets the Sun and Moon cycles come back very, very close each 19 year
period. Notice the three
different examples given in this Figure. Cycles 8, 13,
and 23. Notice the
little red dots showing the added “Resets”.
Count them. Also
notice that in 2 years time the cycle goes up by 8 (usually). All three Types contain 18 total all right, but Type “C” has
its 18th after 49-7-10.
“Whoa”. That
means that before Jubilee Day all Type “C” Jubilees only have
17 “Resets”, and that means they don’t have 50 full moon years
by the correct date. “Whoa”
again, it takes 600 moons to get those 50 moon years, and now the Type
“C’s” only have 599! Guess what? None of the Type “C’s”
make a valid Jubilee. I have a name for this condition.
I call it “Unclean Time”.
Now there’s one for you! If
a person had a Type “C” Jubilee, you would have no blessing or cover
from God. Wow, and Whoa! That’s scriptural! Leviticus
25 says on 49-7-10 sound the Ram’s Horn and say 50!
It works in Type "A" and "B" only, but not in
Type "C", what’s wrong?
Tighten your seat belt, you’re about to take a ride! Let’s go back to the Exodus story.
Remember when Egypt was destroyed by the “Ten Plagues”, and
Israel was released? Egypt
received a Type “C”. Genesis
15 proves that. Two years later the time of the Amorites came to the full. Remember,
in Genesis 15, where God promised Abraham about his seed getting their
turn on the land. That’s right!
The Amorites time was at the full, and they ran into a Type
“C”. It was Israel’s
turn. Now wasn’t that easy to say?
Where do I get that? What I just told you was, there were two different judgments on
two different nations in a two Year time period.
What kind of Judgments were they? Egypt lost their "first born".
That's referring to their seed-line, and the Amorites lost their
land. That's referring to
their physical possessions that their seed-line needed to live with.
Each one of those problems carries a major Jubilee defect. Let me dissect that carefully.
As I pointed out back in Part 2, The Bible Timeline, God's
promise to Abraham had 3 parts to it.
God clearly promised Abraham, "all of the described
land", and "as many people as the stars of the sky".
The third item was "time".
Time to be able to do this.
Right there, God told Abraham, the time was reserved for later on
when "the iniquity of the Amorites had come to the full". We need to see what was happening with that promise that ended
the Egyptian captivity, and also set up the expulsion of the Amorites
from the land. Number
1:
Numbers Chapter 1 tells us, during the Wilderness time, Israel
had the people (over 600,000 men over 20 years of age). Moses said in Deuteronomy 10:22 that number met the
"sand of the sea" number requirement.
They numbered themselves twice during the 40 years in the
wilderness and both numberings confirmed that fact. Number
2: The
Land was there, but possessed by many different nations. There needed to be an expulsion of the inhabitances,
particularly the Amorites. Number
3: Time was at the full! God released Israel from bondage with the Ten Plagues.
Then, Israel was led by God up to the southern edge of
Canaan, where they were instructed to go in and take the land back
during their second year in their wilderness.
Back from whom? The Amorites, but Israel wouldn’t do it.
In stead they ran away because of the giants.
In the meantime, the Amorites were not about to give the land up. Now all nations there were vying for the land, and for the
position of being called the people that belonged to God, just as they
are today. Something you don’t know yet is how to connect the total
combination of events with two major judgments in just two year through
Jubilee rules. It would
take two Type "C" Jubilee Reset events in just 2 years to do
this, and both of those judgments would have to place the people in
“unclean time”. How many combinations could give this sequence?
Just one combination. Go back to the examples given in Figure
3.6 again and notice what happens in a two year period that has a
3-22-11-30 sequence. There’s
one in column 5 of the Type “C’s”. Under some conditions that I'll show you later, Cycle 22 can also
be a Type "C" Jubilee. Now
both Cycle 22, and Cycle 30 would give unclean time when they were the
first year of a new Jubilee time count for whomever.
In other words, there would be no new additional Jubilee time
extension for either one. This is what happened: Nine of the “Ten Plagues” happened in
Cycle 3 for Egypt, and by the first month of the next year (Passover
month) Egypt was in Cycle 22. That’s
“Unclean Time”, with no new Jubilee for Egypt.
Israel, God’s people were spued out. Just
two years later the Amorites in the land of Caanan hit Cycle 30 and they
were all through. “Unclean
Time”. That’s God’s
land, and the Amorites had no more time. Now Israel, because of the Spies report, were afraid to go up and
take the land. Their lack
of faith, and obedience violated God’s Jubilee rules.
They were supposed to render judgment on the Amorites, but they
wouldn’t do it. So, they
had to pay for the time that the Amorites had built up.
Someone had to go “off the land”.
The sentence was 40 years. That
included the time of the 40 years itself too, because the Amorites were
still on the land through all of those 40 years. The spy's story took place during the second year for Israel out
in the wilderness (Solar time). The
third year should have seen them on the land, but it didn't.
That left 38 more years to go. Remember the note above about the Metonic 19 year cycle)?
Well, simple arithmetic says 2x19 is 38.
Guess what, they were all facing Cycle 30 again. This
time Israel had all of their various time bills paid including the
Amorite bill for the 40 wilderness years.
Now the time of the Amorites was really up and on 1-1 of the 41st
year in the wilderness, it was Israel's turn. However, for some reason God told Joshua to wait before crossing
until the 10th day of the month.
Joshua obeyed, and on 1-10 God parted the waters and Israel
walked across the Jordan River and retook the land.
Jubilee rules! Isn’t that nice? Now for the big mystery!
How could Israel get a “Blessing” and “Clean-Time”
right in the middle of all of the other nations around them that were
getting cursed time? What
Jubilee rule does that? ANSWER:
They didn’t. They were in unclean time too.
Now watch this: The count for the next 50 years moon time started automatically.
But God, the Landlord, said to Joshua (Joshua 1-4) “wait
ten days”. Your lease
starts on 1-1 all right, but wait ten days before you cross over. Now Leviticus 25 says, “when you get on the land, begin
to count”. Ah hah! That
means Israel got those ten extra days at the end of their “lease”.
That would cause their time to end not at 49-7-10, but at
49-7-20. Special deal. With those 10 extra days added, this put them into the Feast of
Tabernacles week with
its 7 days of Booth's that are a miniature "off the Land"
counting event that occurs yearly.
It is within these 7 days that the time count stops and the Reset
moon is added during Reset years. Then on 7-22 also called "the
Last Great Day" is when they reenter the house and restart the
count that finishes out that year, and leads them to the next Passover
in Abib that now expresses the effect of the Reset moon.
With this modification in Israel's time count, God allowed
Israel, and only Israel to capture the extra needed Reset moon that gave
them the missing 600th month of the full 50 year Moon count. This was a God given blessing.
It was Israel's time back "on the Land". I should say here, the actual time yearly that Israel is "on
the Land" runs from the "Last Great Day" 7-22 all the way
to the end of the 12th month.
Then starting from 1-1 all the way over to 7-10 of the next year.
This total time adds up to 49 weeks.
That's 49 weeks
"on the land" every year.
This is like a miniature Jubilee every year.
Then from 7-11 through 7-14 all men are given time to get to
Jerusalem and enter their temporary shelters for those 7 days of
Booth's. Booth's become a
miniature sample of uncounted "off the Land" time yearly.
During this 7 day moon counted week no male Israelite is "on
his Land". In essence
His address for that week is a Post Office Box in Jerusalem, waiting for
7-22 (Last Great Day) when God says to him, now go back in the house. 7-22 is a High Sabbath, Holy Convocation day where they assemble
together for the last day of the Feast.
They are all in Jerusalem. Many
live several walking days away from Jerusalem.
There's no way for them over night to get from the booth in
Jerusalem back home to their houses.
The House they reenter on 7-22 is in fact the House of God in
Jerusalem, not their own house back home.
This resets the clock and restarts the time running again until
the next year for the same 7-10, and 7-15 through 7-22 sequence.
Running time for Israel yearly is from 7-22 all the way around to
7-10 of the next year. This count is never interrupted during those days.
Any added time has to come during the days in between 7-10
through 7-21, and that's exactly when God had them do it with His wait
ten day scheme. It only
applies to Israel. They
were told to do this back then, now, and in the future.
He said it's an ordinance to them forever! I think you'll find it interesting to see they were given a
Jubilee with 49 years in it. Each
year containing it's own 7 days of Booth's (off the Land) time.
In each 7 year week period that God gave Israel that makes 49
days "off the Land". The 7th year is where you cancel debts.
That is a cancellation by God of a day for a year for each
time they do this. They do
this 7 times in each Jubilee. No wonder when the spy's brought back the bad report after
being "on the land" for 40 days, they received a judgment of
40 years. That 's a year
for a day. If we take this back to "Rest Years" that we covered in
Part 1 of this series you can see a comparison between paying for
non-kept Rest Years, as opposed to kept Feast Days. REVIEW
for Figures
3.5, and
3.6 We've discussed Jubilee Types A, B, and C that show a complete
blessed 600 month Jubilee, or short of that a 599 month
"Unclean-time" Jubilee.
Not only does the Reset balance out the Solar / Lunar time
difference but it marks each year differently, and each Jubilee as well.
There's much more to discuss in this area, but that will have to
wait for a while. The Reset normally is inserted during the Feast of Booth's week
when all the men are away from home at Jerusalem living in temporary
shelter for that 7 day period. This
is actually uncounted “off the Land” time.
Those 7 days run from 7-15 through
7-21. All Israelite men were out doors, away from their homes by
God’s command (off the Land). Then, on 7-22 (Last Great Day) they were to go back into the
house, when time restarted for Israel again. Notice that little detail. The
10 day delay covered them through 7-20.
Then the 18th Reset happened for Israel after 49-7-10.
That was caused by those ten extra days of delay.
Israel received that, and only Israel!
This gave them a full “Clean-time” run of a 600 moon Jubilee
unit, right in the middle of everybody else getting “Cursed Time”.
Isn’t that amazing? The
Amorites couldn’t get it because they were on “the land”
during those 10 days. Slam,
times up! The Jubilee rules
socked-em. One more parting fact. The
next conquest event for Israel would be Jericho.
Jericho was a “Walled Town”, and by Jubilee rules the walled
town is unaffected by the Jubilee.
So, what to do? Obviously, knock the wall down!
That put them all under the Jubilee rules. Don’t you like that? Fairs
fair. You see, the Bible story covers itself, doesn’t it?
Did you know that’s what happened?
God blesses those who walk in His ways! Today, not many out there know why those ten days of delay were
given to Israel before the “Landlord” wanted them to go in.
I guess this must be “The rest of the story”.
Remember
if the start of the Jubilee is delayed by ten days, so is the end.
That’s why they had the order to sound the Ram’s horn on
7-10 instead of 7-1 thus declaring the end of the 50 Moon years.
It works, doesn’t it? O.K.
back to the other question. How
early, and how late can the Reset be placed in the year?
EARLIEST
and LATEST placement of the Feast Days. Now for some more Figures that we can use.
Figure
3.7 * (Read this whole section)
This is the first of a series of Figures
that will take us through this subject. Most
of the dialog is in the Series, I’ll add more where needed as we go
along. This first chart compares the Sun Year with its Season and
lengths, to the Moon
Year
with its Months and lengths. Notice
the Sun Year is a little longer (ten
days).
Figure
3.8 This Figure gives a
clearer picture of the Solar year with its Seasons, Soltices and
Equinoxes. Notice the difference between the lengths of the seasons.
Figure
3.9 Now we need to see Equinoxes with their dates that mark the
beginning of Spring,
and
the beginning of Fall. Notice
the two Solar seasons are 10 days longer that the 6
Lunar months. This is important. These
are facts in nature. Now let me bring in these scriptures.
Exodus 12: 1,2; Exodus 23:16; and
Exodus 34:22. Passover is in the beginning of the Year in the first
month.
Passover
then, must be in the Spring, not the Winter, and Tabernacles Now notice the dates for the two Equinoxes, Spring Equinox (March
21/22),
and
the Fall Equinox (September 22/23). Most people that do this kind of work look at the Spring Equinox
for setting the
Feast
Days. That turns out to be
backwards. Look at this: The Figures above show
a total of 187 days between those two Equinoxes.
Then they show a total of 177 days in the 6 Lunar months.
The two Feast Date High Sabbaths are fixed, Passover (1-15), and
Tabernacles
(7-15).
That makes them exactly 6 Lunar months apart.
It’s like they are hooked together with a chain.
So are the Equinoxes. Considering the above verses with their applications.
If we are to keep Tabernacles in the Fall, then Passover can only
come within 10 days of the Spring Equinox at its earliest setting. Therefore it’s the Fall Equinox that sets the rule for the
Earliest Feast Day dates, not the Spring Equinox.
Isn’t that easy? You can’t take Passover all the way over to the Spring
Equinox, because that would pull Tabernacles across the Fall Equinox
boundary into Summer time. Ask
a farmer, they would still be out there in their fields trying to get
their crops in. During
Tabernacles all of the men had to be up in Jerusalem. Here’s a rule! If you want to know about the beginning of the year, look at
the end of the year. If you
want to know about the end of the year, look at the beginning. If you want to know about the New Testament, look at the Old, and
vise-versa. Setting Pentecost is based on Passover, and it uses the 7 day
weekly cycle to set it. We
will get to that in a little bit. Therefore speaking in today’s Roman Calendar count, the Earliest
7-15 setting for Tabernacles would be the day after the Fall
Equinox, and that at sundown. This will make September 24th at sundown, to the September
25th at sundown the correct position for Cycle 1 of the 30 possible
Resets positions, as it relates to the start of the Feast of
Tabernacles. Therefore the Latest
date, Cycle 30, would fall on October 23rd
at sundown, to October 24th at sundown. The Earliest date, Cycle 1, for 1-15 Lunar Time, the start
of the Passover Unleavened Bread week would start on March 31st
at sundown, through April 1st at sundown.
The Latest date, Cycle 30, would be April 29th
at sundown, through April 30th at sundown. The
Earliest conjunction (dark moon) for the first month would fall
on March 16th/17th, sundown to sundown that’s
used to calculate 1-15 Cycle 1. The
latest conjunction date that sets Cycle 30 would be on April 14th/15th,
sundown to sundown. Now look at
Figures 3.10 and 3.11.
3.10 as
explained
above gives the Earliest dates, and 3.11
shows the Latest dates for both Passover, and Tabernacles.
Setting Pentecost is based on Passover, and it uses the 7 day
weekly cycle to set it. We
will get to that in a little bit. For more information on Conjunctions, and Settings see PART 4
“Seeable Slivers”. Try to follow this Series all the way through. There is a lot of information given in this Series, so take just one Figure at a time, and take your time. When we get all done, you’ll be about 3000 years ahead of most everybody. Now doesn’t that make you feel good? Next,
FEAST
DAY SETTING Now I will slowly piece together the Feast Day story so you can
see how all of that looks.
Figure
3.12 The top half places the Feast of Passover at the correct location
on the Moon calendar counting system.
The bottom half places the second Feast Day in its right place called the “Feast of Weeks” in the Old Testament, and Pentecost in the New Testament.
Figure
3.13 and 3.14 On the lower half of 3.13 we see all of the Feasts placed on the
Lunar year, then in 3.14 they are all shown together with more details so we can see
how the Reset cycles shift every thing around. Now the last 3 Figures
plus the Reset strips. Each one adds more information and it gets pretty complicated
looking. Just take it one Figure
at a time. It took me a lot
of years to learn this subject, and make all of these charts.
You won’t learn it over night!
Figure
3.15 The overlap, and
necessary Reset Strips. The top of this Figure
once again has the Solar year placed on top of the Lunar year.
From here on I will focus on how I illustrate the year in 3
different major Reset cycles. They
are Cycles 16, 30, and 1 with its Reset.
Figure
3.16 The Reset
strips. These strips show the relationship of the Lunar Cycle compared to the Solar Cycle for a particular year. The Lunar bar is on top. It’s maximum length is 30 days long. It has four divisions that are a little more that 7 days long each. An arrow is inserted in the middle of the strip at about the 15th day. The same thing is applied on the lower Solar bar. It also has an arrow in the middle. When the two different time counting systems are placed next to each other as show here, each year would show a change in their relationship one to another. There are 30 possible combinations to illustrate. Here are some of them. This first drawing is in position 7. Below you will find various examples of these different positions. Notice their comparisons. Each year a different Reset box is used to illustrate the constant change that is going on. This of course shows the position of the timing relationship between the Solar and Lunar counts for each particular year. The maximum shifting amounts to only two weeks in each direction.
Figure
3.17 Now,
isn’t all of that an eye full? Makes
a pretty picture doesn’t it? This
is what God gave us. Notice this Figure is in Cycle 16. Look
for cycles shown in the lower left corners.
Figure
3.18 This
Chart shows all of the Feasts for the year, set in Reset Cycle 30.
Figure
3.19 This
Chart shows all the Feast Days for the year, set in Reset Cycle 1. This
Chart also shows the Reset added (Grey shaded area). All Cycles 1-11 have a Reset added. Look for the small boxes that show what cycle the Reset
is in.
Figure
3.20 This Chart is the same as 3.19 but it uses a red circle to better point out the location of the added Reset Moon (shaded grey). REVIEW: The “Reset” moon is not a counted month.
It’s catch-up time! The 30 positions of the Reset mark the current relationship
between the counts of the Solar, and Lunar time. You
might ask, Is the Moon ahead of the Sun, or behind?
It’s the Reset that controls this relationship. God’s Calendar only works if the Reset is there.
The very idea of using both the Solar, and the Lunar time as
viewed from the Earth is to give a triangular pin pointing of the
special events in God’s Calendar. Those events are the Feast Days. Those Feast Days tell us of the entire plan of God with man on
this Earth. #1
The Start -- 1-1.
This started God’s time Calendar running so we can know what to
expect. #2
The Passover events --
The coming of the Messiah the first time, with His ministry and
work of atonement under the rule of
“Kinsman-Redeemer”. Also
as “First Fruits” waved unto God the Father on our behalf. #3 The Feast of Weeks, also known as “Pentecost” -- With its measured time of 50 days from the special place established back there in the Passover Week on “Wave Offering Day”. Its presentation of the two loaves on that exact day before God,
with those two loaves containing “leaven” (sin). On that day, historically, God came down on Mt. Sinai in the Old
Testament and talked to them, giving His people the Ten
Commandments. Again, in the New Testament, He came down to the “upper room” people, and anointed His believers with the Holy Spirit, and talked through them, commissioning them with power, and sending them forth with the Gospel. #4
The long 4 months of the growing
season where the Earth brings forth all of its fruit.
…
then, in the end of the year with its harvesting events. #5
Trumpets (messages, warnings, callings to awareness), and
Atonement (opportunity for repentance) before- #6 Tabernacles (leave your houses, land, and everything), and wait for the time when the believing people are taken in the House of God on … #7
The Last Great Day (the Kingdom age). There are many ways that people divide, and break up this 7 point
week, but no matter how you count it, there’s no escaping the Feast
Days as a road map for God’s work on this Earth. There are many positions that you can play during these times. I
hope you can see where we are in this sequence.
Are you ready? Note: In the Reset Year, the time for the people out side in the Booths
(7 days) is the same. They
are gathered together the same. They
do not stay out there an additional 30 days.
The closing day (Last Great Day) is the same. Say your good byes and what not.
However, the leaders should be charged with the responsibility,
before the people leave, to inform everyone that time counting is
delayed, and will be until the same phase of the next moon, when it
restarts and continues its normal counting
to the end of the year. This
of course will cause the next Passover time with its events to be
delayed 19 days later than it was in the current Roman Calendar year,
instead of losing the normal 11 days.
It’s the leaders job to inform the people of this with its new
date before the people leave. In a year of Reset, the delay of the 29/30 day moon
(automatically set) starts at the close of the 20th, at
sundown. It continues
through the next complete moon phase cycle, through the 20th
day of that moon (that’s uncounted time), and then resumes the count
on the 21 day. Thus ending
the delay leading to the restart of counted time back “on the land”. In a normal year, when the 7 days of Booths ends, it’s followed
by, go back into the house on the 22nd.
What house? They are
all in Jerusalem. Many are
3, or 4 walking days from their own homes.
The house that they return into is God’s House, right there
in Jerusalem. It’s
impossible for them to reenter their own homes on the 22nd. Besides, the 22nd is a High Sabbath.
In regular years the people (men) never reenter their own house
on the 22nd. However, in a Reset year, they all have gone home, and when
that 22nd happens they reenter their own homes, and time
officially starts again. They
are not in Jerusalem any more. Notice that the restart of counted time actually started on the
21st. That is because the 22nd (Last Great Day) is
actually a High Sabbath, and any time you have any kind of a Sabbath it
requires a “Preparation Day”.
He never expects anyone to just plunge into a Sabbath without a
preparation day. It’s a
law, and He planned for that. I’m sure that this whole thing comes as a shock to most of you.
It’s hard to explain these things to people the first time.
Belaboring the fact only leads to confusion. That’s why we need a time and a place for Leaders, and Elders
to come together and discuss things like this.
This is not a subject for
new comers, etc. Booth’s, to begin with, is a subject for Israel only.
It says all Israelites have to be out in them, or lose their
place in the congregation, and it says that non-Israelites are not
allowed to be out in them. (Lev. 23:42, and Nehemiah 8:14). I feel it is the duty of the Leaders to tell their people when
the Feast Days are to be kept the following year, before they leave at
the close of the Last Great Day. Extra Page
EARLY-LATE
* The subject of how early
the Feast Days can be, or how late they can be. This following set of questions may have fit better up in the beginning of this unit, but I held it until now in order not to cause distraction. Where are the guide lines for this subject according to the Scripture, or are there any? It may be helpful if first we ask ourselves a few questions. #1 Are guidelines given in the Scripture for this. Choice of answers: Yes: Look up Scriptural answers. No, or I don’t know: Consider the following: Can the Feast Days be held at any random time by anyone at large? Are there any Feasts to set in the Bible? If so, who keeps them, and who does not? Do we have to? Is this valid in the New Testament? Did Jesus keep them? Why? Why did Jesus go up to Jerusalem every now and then? If there are Feast Days in the Bible, could they observe Passover in the Fall of the year? Could they observe Tabernacles in the Spring time? If not, why not? What about Passover in the Winter time? If the answer is yes to any of the above, then there must not be any guide lines. If there are rules about when they are to be set, then we’d better find out what those rules are. If there are such rules, there must be such a thing as how early, or how late they can be set, or kept. If this matters to you, then maybe you’d better learn how! Finally, where do we look? The Bible Feast Days are given in Leviticus 23, and several other places. Read Leviticus 23, and all related references that you can find. The
next part will be:
